it would be cool if you name changed though so I'd stop getting pinged in gally

I am universal

#

i remember there was a blood elf rogue on my realm with almost the exact name as me

#

and we were competing for #1 IO for rogues for so long too

#

cause MG IO is so easy to get #1 KEKW

#

i remember a casual friend of mine told me he was so excited to be top 10 surv hunter IO on moonguard

#

top surv hunter wasnt even 1k

storm storm
#

when do you guys recommend using galecaller's boon, when playing the bleed build ?

mossy valve
#

So I’m a pvper, does anyone know if a full gushing build in m+ or raid is even moderately ok?

strange python
#

its playable

viral valve
#

It'll do some work, and it's more than good enough if your pve goals are just heroic and +15s

strange python
#

if raid/m+ isnt your focus

viral valve
#

If you spam arena you could probably afford some expedients by the time it comes back up, though

mossy valve
#

Yeah my main problem is it’s my alt and I just play to fuck around but sometimes I wanna do keys with some irl buddies and don’t wanna int

#

And I could come on reclear for some bosses maybe idk if the damage is like completely garbage or not.

viral valve
#

Honestly, post-nerf gushing is underrated, it's just that every class has something that's better, it's by no means a bad corruption to run

rancid obsidian
#

Tbh it's only important to only have some good corruptions, for example i use 2 RP instead of exp at the moment becaus i MIGHT replace those pieces and RP is only a few % worse.

rancid obsidian
#

(Rp was on those pieces to beginn with)

strange python
#

here is all mythic shadhar (st) logs who used at least 1 gw

#

so you can just look through and see if there's any with full gw

rancid obsidian
#

Many BIS Sets sim with 1 gw

#

Seems like you want one on High-End Gear.

viral valve
#

Keep in mind that full gushing has only been available for a few days, and only those who had a lot of echoes when vendor came out(or lucky drops) have full expedient. So they'll both be underrepresented in logs

loud brook
#

is it just straight up expedient stacking or do i sprinkle in some severes or honed minds in between?

rancid obsidian
#

Optimal Corruptions for my current gear are 1 Gw,1 Mastery proc and rest Expedient. (I the mastery will vanish once i get a bit more)

#

Expedient stacking is a good idea, pretty much any build uses mostly exp

frigid briar
#

nah, anyone running gushing in top 10 for maut or shadhar has TA aswell

#

thats TA procs by the looks

#

which will always go to the top since it has some mad RNG god pulls

#

if you look at top 10 for maut, apart from me and raz in full expedient the other people have tenticals and had mad procs

strange python
#

yea kinda hard to sift through

#

theres this guy

#

but his rank isnt great

frigid briar
#

also kill times is a big thing aswell

#

103k with gushing he did, think I did like 112k last week with full exp. Proc corruption will net you the BiS log if it goes mad. I do think 1 GW at the end might be something eventually though

strange python
#

just shows that you're not cucking yourself too much running near full gw

#

so if raids isnt your focus but pvp is, its not that bad

frigid briar
#

I mean on shadhar that dudes log is stil 30k behind full exp on shadhar

#

30k is quite a bit

#

well I guess it is and it isnt in this patch

loud brook
#

I just wanna hit my max potential with what I have and what I can achieve

red bloom
#

Got my GW in the bank ready to go... after my raid kills nzoth and I can go to 60 WOOO

loud brook
#

best i can do, still 20k dps lower than other ppl here GWbratWhy

bleak spoke
#

I’m honestly confused as to why that’s so low

#

It looks like it should sim higher than that

loud brook
#

i'm assuming it's because I don't have everything socketed out

bleak spoke
#

Oh that’s not a m cara dagger either

loud brook
#

ye

#

killed raden tonight, prolly gonna hit cara next week

red bloom
#

I was simming for 94k with a Jc dagger and 3 sockets though

#

HC*

bleak spoke
#

Dragonscale is depleted maybe

loud brook
#

hmm, maybe

red bloom
#

Is CT simming better than bomb for ya?

loud brook
#

doing that sim rn, dont have enough iterations to test out everything. just copied someone else who did 112k

#

and am working backwards from there

tropic ocean
#

bad trinkets

#

bad weapons

#

low azerite

#

thats y u sim so low

red bloom
#

Ah, I’d go lucid instead of formless void, you’re copying someone with a lot more haste than you have atm, not the greatest idea since you don’t have their gear

loud brook
#

fair

tropic ocean
#

oh and dont just mindlessly stack crit haste

#

sim your stat

#

mastery probably already better for you

azure pewter
#

Can you replace the behind ring with the 3 different spells one?

tropic ocean
#

yes

#

but its suboptimal

loud brook
#

here, i'll sim the current gear set im using for raiding. the one i showed was a set waiting for expedients

#

que is taking forever

tribal obsidian
#

Its low cause your missing some expedient, lots of sockets and using formless at low haste

#

Pretty sure

loud brook
#

this one i posted right now doesnt use formless. Yeah, I figured it was just a haste and socket problem but it just makes me feel inadequate about my way of choosing gear

tribal obsidian
#

I think for me each haste socket is like 500 dps

#

Or some shit

loud brook
#

jesus

tribal obsidian
#

The latest one you are using cns

#

Swap that with focusing iris

loud brook
#

alright

tribal obsidian
#

What neck lvl?

#

Thats pretty low ?

loud brook
#

yeah, it's at 90. I haven't been farming ap alot

#

thought it soft capped at like 90

wooden osprey
#

What corruptions should I be looking for as Sin? I'm just returning and don't quite get the whole corrupted gear thing just yet. I keep hearing conflicting things in game.

scarlet sequoia
#

expedient

wooden osprey
#

And that's just a % increase gained from all sources? So the haste expedient?

scarlet sequoia
#

yes

#

the haste % is called expedient

wooden osprey
#

And that's randomly sold by Mother now?

scarlet sequoia
#

yes

wooden osprey
#

And also comes on gear in RNG?

tribal obsidian
#

Yes

wooden osprey
#

Thank you! Sorry for the questions, but people in game were telling me all sorts of nonsense

tribal obsidian
#

Np

wooden osprey
#

So I can cleanse bad corruption and add expedient when it's available and when my gear is better..

#

I'm still really low right now

tribal obsidian
#

A lot of people just look at top rank parses and are generally behind in whats actually good

#

Thats my observation anyway

strange python
#

Corruption is shit

wooden osprey
#

??

tribal obsidian
#

It is and i like it at the same time

quartz depot
#

it's mostly the way you acquire it that is awful

wooden osprey
#

Visions over and over?

tribal obsidian
#

This tier would be boring without it

quartz depot
#

it's boring even with it 🙂

wooden osprey
#

I've only done a few visions and they're already boring

tribal obsidian
#

Take a break

strange python
#

U cant play this right now, u can have an itemlvl 420 but top the Meters u only need the right corruption, its so boring

waxen socket
#

Not really

shy axle
#

thats not the case though

waxen socket
#

Since the vendor u actuelly need good pieces to be corrupted 🙂

sullen pagoda
#

thats just not true

tropic ocean
#

U cant play this right now, u can have an itemlvl 420 but top the Meters u only need the right corruption, its so boring
@strange python x doubt

shy axle
#

keep exaggerating

waxen socket
#

The vendor actuelly made it so that there is a bis list now which feels amazing imo

tropic ocean
#

you can also play very decently while having bad corruptions

sullen pagoda
#

especially since stat amps are bis now so it comes down to your play

#

its not how many tentacules will i proc

wooden osprey
#

So I don't want any other corruptions other than the haste expedient?

tropic ocean
#

sadly the common logic is bad corruption is 0 dps, bis corruption is 1 mil dps

tribal obsidian
#

Theres a lot of "corruption is awful" parroting

tropic ocean
#

but in reality the difference between bad corruption and good corruption is not as high

wooden osprey
#

Can one of you please link your Sin so I can see what I'm aiming for?

tropic ocean
#

I'd even say the difference between bad and good azerite is higher

sullen pagoda
#

@tropic ocean obviously if im doing bad its the gear duh feelscryman

strange python
#

Its still a bad system^^

sullen pagoda
#

i dont think its bad system

tropic ocean
#

idk I like it

sullen pagoda
#

with vendor

tropic ocean
#

only issue was vendor should've been way earlier

sullen pagoda
#

before vendor sure it was garbage

tropic ocean
#

the issue is not the system, but the rng, but it was the same with wf/tf

waxen socket
#

this is my current sim but not near perfect even

tropic ocean
#

or legendaries even

waxen socket
#

If it helps u out @wooden osprey

tropic ocean
#

legendaries literally make or break a class

#

😄

sullen pagoda
#

I like the whole idea of risk and reward of corruptions

loud brook
#

every log i can find of high performing rogues has 80 corruption after resist. I can't even gauge and analyze people who play around my corruption level because every rogue that parses runs rank 8 tendies or rank 25 expedients

tropic ocean
#

oh nice I got kil jaeden leggy

#

logs out til wednesday

sullen pagoda
#

wdym @loud brook i got rank 1 skitra 2 days ago with just regular 60 corruption, ofc most relevant boss kappat

waxen socket
#

@loud brook there are alot of rogues who top log with below 60 since the bleed / expedient build

tropic ocean
#

@loud brook compare cast counts/uptime/cd usage

waxen socket
#

what are u on about

tropic ocean
#

not dps

wooden osprey
#

@waxen socket thanks, but I don't see the haste expedient on your gear. Or did I miss it?

strange python
#

Just wait for shadowlands

#

^^

tropic ocean
#

just quit the game

tribal obsidian
#

People will complain in SL too

tropic ocean
#

people complained in legion

#

every day

tribal obsidian
#

X item system sucks

loud brook
#

I just want to compare myself against other people who run under 40 corruption. I don't care about anyone who runs anything above 40

tropic ocean
#

now everyone is like LEGION WAS BESTEST FK BFA

#

🤷

sullen pagoda
waxen socket
#

@wooden osprey it shows next to the items for me? this is with 59 corruption and mass amount of haste

#

Which hopefully wednesday comes on the vendor

tribal obsidian
#

Id rather have a non optimal item system then none

waxen socket
#

so i can actuelly buy it 😄

#

Still since the vendor i liked the raids more in terms of rewards honestly

loud brook
#

dont get me wrong, im happy that people are having fun doing 40-80 corruption builds, i don't want to spoil anyone's fun. I just wish there was a better way to filter out stuff I don't want to see

waxen socket
#

grinding for your bis items to get corruptions I find enjoyable

wooden osprey
#

@waxen socket this is what I see

#

Where's the corruption?

waxen socket
#

U are clicking on the items?

sullen pagoda
#

I mean cant just close eyes on people playing big corruptions

waxen socket
#

idk in the overview it shows next to the items the corruptions 🙂

tribal obsidian
#

I wouldn't gear your self based off logs

sullen pagoda
#

take risks get rewarded

tribal obsidian
#

Do it from theory and your own sims

#

Read pins etc

tropic ocean
#

I mean

#

infinite stars/tend stack will always have the ability to give you the highest possible outcome due to rng-factor of the corruption itself

#

but I wouldn't care at all about it

sullen pagoda
#

yea

#

tentacles is blue log 5 weeks get 99 one week

#

skill kappat

tropic ocean
#

you can also do r1s with expedient stack

loud brook
#

if they explored the idea of ineffable truth and the popular spec major essences and found ways to implement them into the endgame of the next expac as talents or things to help customize playstyles id be down with them

crimson palm
#

u'll suck on all stars with tendies so who cares

tropic ocean
#
  • your log variety wont be as gigantic
tribal obsidian
#

I mean you can tell the people who are trying to copy gear from a log. They show up with CT, exa, formless, bote and no haste

#

Assuming its all linear

sullen pagoda
#

exsang build just has the regular amount of rng

#

getting vita / op proc in exsang snapshot

#

is giga

tropic ocean
#

yeah but you basically have this rng in any build

#

to some extent

sullen pagoda
#

yea thats what i mean, its rng that existed in every expansion

tropic ocean
#

vita proc before vendetta will be giga for dd build as well

#

cuz just pump

loud brook
#

honestly, the rng is out of control this expansion

tropic ocean
#

it is

#

but its in your control how much you let it impact yourself

loud brook
#

sometimes i burst for 170k on my opener, other times it's 120k

sullen pagoda
#

it really isnt that much with stat amps instead of dmg proc corruptions

tropic ocean
#

like wcl is an external site that can be shut down every day so wouldnt care too much about it

sullen pagoda
#

compare it to wod arcane mage that literally could 3x 4x their dps just by having procs

tropic ocean
#

and with owner going crazy who cares, might remove proc corruptions from wcl soon too

#

😄

sullen pagoda
#

or getting that wod hfc trinket proc chain

#

forgot name

#

for rogues

#

assa in legion was poison bomb casino

tropic ocean
#

soul capacitor?

sullen pagoda
#

o ye soul cap

#

that shit was big

loud brook
#

cloak procs, azerite blightborne procs, essence minor procs, corruption procs, poison application procs critical strike procs during your dps proc window granting exponential dps increase, SEAL FATE PROCS

#

i think this list needs to get trimmed down to 4 or 3 procs

tropic ocean
#

it was pretty much the same for every addon

#

with good poison bomb procs

#

top dps

sullen pagoda
#

literally

tropic ocean
#

I wish there was a trinket like archimonde

loud brook
#

oh right, that and envenom increasing proc chance application of poisons

tropic ocean
#

that gives % crit to mutilate

#

after envenom

sullen pagoda
#

legion assa dps couldve yoyo dps by 20% just from poison bomb ignoring everything else

loud brook
#

they should make poison bomb a cd that we can activate for burst

#

rather than this malarkey

tropic ocean
#

the should just lower dmg

#

but increase proc chance more

#

so its reliable

#

I mean its better than legion

#

cuz legion was

#

similar to tentacle rng

#

lol

scarlet sequoia
#

imagine not playing sub in legion

#

smh

tropic ocean
#

only start in antorus

sullen pagoda
#

any sub pre 7.2 gamers here

tropic ocean
#

and there sin was picked mostly? i think

scarlet sequoia
#

played sub since the beginning

#

legendary boots pre nerf oof

sullen pagoda
#

i started playing it in NH before rework

#

it was one of most fun specs ive played

loud brook
#

id be fine with it being more reliable, but less dmg, though i think that giving it to us as an ability to activate that's off the gcd that empowers our next like 4 envenoms or envenoms for the next few seconds is the best state it can be for long term health of the class

#

then they should address the stuff like hidden blades and venom rush

#

only time i ever used venom rush was in legion while leveling

#

back when it was like 10* energy

tribal obsidian
#

Sub with pre nerf boots

#

So smooth

shrewd night
#

Assa with bracer/ring combo was smooth as fuck, get that sub out of here sangery

tropic ocean
#

ring?

#

shoulder bracer 4lyfe

tribal obsidian
#

Shoulder was later

#

Though

smoky horizon
#

Question: I was lucky enough to acquire a 475 Galecaller’s Boon and I was wondering if I should bind it with Exsanguinate? Every other Exsan would be coupled with Galecaller’s

shrewd night
#

Ring was better for my gear than shoulder, not at all salty about that kekw

tropic ocean
#

@tribal obsidian idk i started late into antorus 😛

#

but I also really enjoyed the rotation with kingsbane

tribal obsidian
#

Yea

tropic ocean
#

I like the planning around burst windows playstyle

tribal obsidian
#

I played sub exclusively so

tropic ocean
#

@smoky horizon pretty sure u want to use it on cd

tribal obsidian
#

I honestly didn't care for the DFA stuff though

#

I wouldn't bind gcb to anything because of the movement part

#

Im excited to see legendaries back i actually didn't mind them

tropic ocean
#

I hope we get tier sets back

#

so raiding is actually worth

tribal obsidian
#

I wouldn't mind a tier set item system even like corruption

#

Where you could add it to pieces

loud brook
#

I just hope that exsanguinate doesnt become mandatory since we're getting toxic blade baseline as shive

#

shiv

#

same thing

#

bleh

tribal obsidian
#

Exa will prob disappear again in SL

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

think azerite corruption mixed into a system like netherlight crucible where u can choose what u want

#

would be big

#

so you just farm like the corruption or the relic and put it where u want

tribal obsidian
#

Exactly

tropic ocean
#

would also solve the issue blizzard being unable to properly balance azerite pieces

strange python
#

Exactly
@tribal obsidian Hey , waiting your sim bro

loud brook
#

I mean, the row is effectively venom rush and exsanguinate without tb. idk if alacrity will be the default option

#

alacrity will be better for awhile, then exsanguinate will get better with more haste. I just don't want one talent to overshadow the others. I want ppl who like sang to be able to play it while also me not having to play it because i hate it.

cobalt pelican
#

can't see alacrity ever not being the play assuming bleed damage follows similar trends to bfa

#

having a 1sec gcd but only being able to press 1 button every 3 gcds is usually the biggest dps throttle we have early on

tribal obsidian
#

The problem with azerite type systems and same with the legion legendary is they need to continue to balance them

cobalt pelican
#

and i doubt we'll reach corruption levels of haste again anytime soon

sullen pagoda
#

@tropic ocean u missed assa with boots prenerf and 3x relic traits for vendetta cd

#

that was a blast

tropic ocean
#

yeah I think so

#

when I played u played master alchemist traits

#

i think

loud brook
#

Yeah, the only way I think that they'd be able to make sang competitive would be making the gcd press for sanguinate more impactful or to add a huge bleed % damage amp to make it useable for Priority damagr

sullen pagoda
#

i cant remember later on, i quit in antorus and NH/ ToS was sub

#

sub was too giga in tos

loud brook
#

But I'm not a game designer, so idk the ramifications of adding those effects

sullen pagoda
#

You will always have "best" talents at the end of the day @loud brook perfect balance doesnt really exist

vestal wren
#

Sub was rly strong in ToS but damage wise still lower than warriors

#

only subtlety got nerfed tho

crimson palm
#

we should never do more dmg than warriors

#

they've 0 defensives

sullen pagoda
#

yea warriors were bangers in ToS but sub was one of highest dps + immunity class with tier that had the most soaks ever in wow

loud brook
#

Yeah, I know GWczeAngryCry

vestal wren
#

sub was good bc. you could use your imunities

#

and classes without immunities did not get taken in

sullen pagoda
#

it also had fights that allowed it to tunnel dps a lot

#

like mistress or w.e name that fishy naga

loud brook
#

Anyway I'm off to bed, peace everyone

sullen pagoda
#

rest cant aoe kekw easy evis spams

vestal wren
#

i know its trendy to bash rogue's utility but rogue is not one of the classes/specs with the most utility

#

survivability is also highly dependent on the encounter

#

evasion, feint and cloak do more often nothing so the utility is highly reliant on what blizz allows

sullen pagoda
#

that is true, but in ToS rogues were god class

#

hell i got accepted in guild that already had 4 rogues just cuz rogue on KJ prog

vestal wren
#

that had several reasons

#

e.g. on avatar you had a buggy feint damage reduction that kind of made the soak damage 0

sullen pagoda
#

yeah i forgot about that

#

didnt aoe dmg reduction and ST one stack

#

so it made it do 0

vestal wren
#

and on KJ you could cheese the soaks

#

but as mentioned, this changed dramatically, rogue's only guaranteed defensive is vail

#

the rest can change from encounter to encounter

sullen pagoda
#

this days DH's outshine us but when you see some other melee classes we are still in great spot

vestal wren
#

i think esp. when talking about utility ppl just think about shroud in m+

sullen pagoda
#

I was thinking more of raid defensives and survivability

#

but rogue ye brings much more than shroud

#

especially outlaw

vestal wren
#

well yes, but its the main reason you usually want 1 rogue in your group

#

ofc. this season its a bit diffrent given the seasonal affix does reduce the impact of shroud

sullen pagoda
#

Im mostly worried about SL some classes getting big raid buffs like wf totem and banners that if we dont bring high damage we will be left out kinda

#

but thats all alpha and prone to change peeposhrug

vestal wren
#

that was already the case in BfA

#

rogue was not the best class to bring on many fights

runic kernel
#

Any glad rogues I can talk to?

#

Wondering if i should just buy a few gushings or at least one versatile?

#

Dont have many echoes.

sullen pagoda
#

yep this expansion rogues werent the greatest, u needed other melee for the raid buffs and fights didnt allow many melees

#

very limited spots

runic kernel
#

I have 2 gushings bought and im wondering if i should buy one more or a versatile.

sullen pagoda
#

@runic kernel pvp channel

runic kernel
#

yeah it seems dead lol

vestal wren
#

problem is the majority in the spec channels focus on pve, so answers here might be less relevant

runic kernel
#

Just thought I may find someone.

vestal wren
#

I think rogue playrate was alright

#

a lot of even very high world ranks did bring rogues even if it was not the best option for the slot

#

and i doubt there will be much change in SL to that

strange python
#

Harper pikaboo at least went full gushing, can't do anything wrong with that. mix of vers and gushing should be good as well

sullen pagoda
#

thankfully Nzoth needed a lot of immunities so we were wanted in the end

vestal wren
#

idk you can just as well put a BM hunter in the place of a rogue

sullen pagoda
#

even as solo rogue in my guild gm asked me if i wanted to focus on my warlock maybe cuz my warlock was already very good geared lmao

#

ye bm hunter does everything rogue does better

vestal wren
#

its just overtuned

#

current state of the game just showcases how important propper tuning is

#

or... what happens if you don't do that

sullen pagoda
#

i find it funny how bm hunter went from "dont go bm hunter going into nyalotha useless class"

#

to most broken thing atm

vestal wren
#

the shocking truth is that TC's did point out flaws in Corruption sclaings, so the OP stuff was known

#

it wasn't something that hit blizz by suprise

sullen pagoda
#

peeposhrug pretty sure they straight up forgot about bm just like they did with sub but bm scaling and bow made them into monsters

vestal wren
#

it just comes down to their strategy of balancing

#

and it did not include re-evaluation and tuning, thats why we have classes that barely reach 100k dps with bis gear while others are at 130k or higher

sullen pagoda
#

i dont mind bm being best, they werent for long time but they are best in so many aspects atm which is annoying

#

like their aoe St cleave

#

its all top tier

vestal wren
#

thats just a consequence of tuning

tribal obsidian
#

They've stated before they really dont like to nerf things

#

And they definitely just let things ride out more now

soft shale
#

they didnt forget to buff arms twice or thrice tho meanwhile rogue in general only got nerfs

shrewd night
#

Throwback to when demo warlock was hot ass and devs told people publicly to not play them

rough sapphire
#

Hey Guys, what stats i want on Craft items? Haste>Versa? (Pants)

vast forum
#

My issue with bm having the highest patchwerk dps is that it's also the most mobile class with 40yd range and by far the best at dealing with grand delusions

soft shale
#

feral is the best at dealing with grand delusions tbh but hunter has its things too

vast forum
#

No1 looks at feral tho

#

I mean of the mainstream specs

steep obsidian
#

I think you’d need 5 delusions in a row to not have anything for it

#

As a bm

wary ice
#

Cant bm feign it?

soft shale
#

iirc feing 1 trap 2 stun 3 root 4(if talented) then you get hit by five

wary ice
#

Just walk away from it 4head

night mantle
#

@wary ice yes BM can feign it

vast forum
#

You can quite literally just walk away from it while doing full dps

soft shale
#

bm can play well above 40 but cant play that well above 60 because of the slow and lack of defensives good trade off on doing crazy damage with low corruption anyway

vagrant hinge
strange python
#

farm trinkets/dagger/rings

cobalt pelican
#

drop td, probably play vigor over deeper at your gear

#

but yeah generally just loot items a lot

vagrant hinge
#

And for essences ? Blood of the enemy 3 is a must ? I’ve rank 2 but tired to farm honor

strange python
#

farm honor its worth it

#

doesnt even take that much just do the daily wins

vagrant hinge
#

Ok

viral valve
stark echo
#

59 corruption? is that safe?

strange python
#

yes

#

most of the time

stark echo
#

just ignore the ring?

mellow berry
#

hi there, I'm just coming back to my rogue and I absolutely love the assa spec. Now I'm a bit overwhelmed over what traits/essences to use for m+ (10-18ish). I've read the exsanguinate guide but I'm not sure if thats in the cards for me... any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

viral valve
#

From what I can tell, the ring set is about ~2k upgrade

stark echo
#

sorry, i meant the courrption ring

#

the one with the eye that attacks you

viral valve
#

Mostly, yeah. Just pop feint

strange python
#

@mellow berry do you have 3x SS? if not, go outlaw

#

if you have 3x ss just stack crit/mastery

stark echo
#

i have 3x ss, but i feel like people are saying stack expedient which is haste?

strange python
#

that's mostly for raid

#

or junkyard

#

or maybe kr

#

maybe workshop idk

viral valve
#

I like haste in bolstering siege/shrine as well, getting the priority targets low before they bolster from the smaller adds is pretty huge

stark echo
#

so haste for single target, crit/mastery for multi

#

i think i'm just gonna do 50/50 haste/crit corruptions. i only want to time 15s

strange python
#

if you're buying corruptions for m+ go with severe/strikethrough

stark echo
#

thanks, will do!

strange python
#

hey assas rogue here 444 ilvl wanan boost my dps and not sure how to do so im kinda new to bfa rogue

jolly star
#

get items 😄

strange python
#

get gear

stark echo
#

check the pin too

strange python
#

your item level is way to low to start thinking about specific ways to boost dps

viral valve
#

Thanks Buck, didn't realize whirl would beat out gutripper. Just gotta farm those echoes for more expedients.

strange python
#

No problem 😄

#

spyglass is a good trinket if not raiding yet shud i go full crit mastery

#

SOMEONE BE MY MENToR

#

I would suggest to look at a wowhead guide

#

got 100 more dps xd

viral valve
#

😄 nice, thanks

#

I actually managed to mess up all my 3rd ring traits lol

strange python
#

u can use both daggers

#

basically same dps

#

what daggers are go to? i got the 2 from ad m0

mellow berry
#

So I go for 3SS? and above that? for corruption severe and strikethrough? I thought haste is preferred with garrote and rupture. Any hints on essences? sorry for the questionbombardment :X

viral valve
#

Huh, I must have done something wrong with earlier sims, I definitely don't have two of those daggers lol

strange python
#

oh

#

lul

wary ice
#

the exsang build on raven holdt is for single target

#

for m+ the standard is to go crit/mast 3ss 3eb

#

but to be honest u can get pretty creative with builds depending on azerite

unborn otter
#

Running the bleed build currently with only a rank 2 expedient currently. Baseline, without procs, I sit at around 34% haste. Is that still too low? Have all the traits needed for azerite. Parsing in purple in heroic.

strange python
#

You should sim yourself

#

I dont think crimson tempest is better than poison bomb at 34% but I could be wrong

unborn otter
#

Even if CT sims/is worse than poison bomb, I'd rather run it in m+. Really dislike PB as a whole.

wary ice
#

ct will outperform pb in any 3+target situation

strange python
#

I thought u meant raid since u brought up heroic logs

unborn otter
#

But yeah, mostly just running bleed build to break the monotony of MA and double dose

wary ice
#

but with high enough haste CT will beat pb on st as well

unborn otter
#

Oh, I did. I thought the CT comment was towards me

wary ice
#

It was lol

strange python
#

Yes

unborn otter
#

Oh, ayy lol

strange python
#

because at high enough haste it outperforms PB on ST

unborn otter
#

That's good to know though

strange python
#

but if u want to min max you should sim yourself

unborn otter
#

Ye, I plan to eventually, but my guild stopped mythic prog so I'm not worried about min maxing as much. Just curious if that amount of haste was worth using with the bleed build

strange python
#

hey anyone know where i can get azerite gear that has shrouded sufocation and echoing blades? can't seem to find any

wary ice
#

vendor

strange python
#

the specific pieces?

#

is it worth saving up 20k or just trying to get one at random

#

type 2 bomber jacket

#

with 4k residuum

#

randoms imo

wary ice
#
  1. I believe you can sim wheher its worth saving 2) always save cause u want gorak tuls over basically every other option in shoulder, raid included, 3) it wholey depends on ur current gear set up and ease of access to 480s from raid
elfin saffron
#

what trinkets should i use for bleed build i see alot of vita/kR

strange python
#

Helmet: Cowl of Fluid Machinations
Shoulders: Gold-Tasseled Epaulets, Extravagant Epaulettes, Pistoleer's Spaulders
Chest: Type ll Bomber Jacker, Raiment of the Blighted Tribe
pieces with EB and SS

wary ice
#

I think theres 2 of each available in vendor

#

but i might be full of shit

#

IDR

strange python
#

lemme look xd

#

only one vendor helm

#

Other shoulders are Pistoleer's Spaulders

#

there are 3 shoulders o.O

wary ice

🤷‍♂️ i got the # right but the distribution wrong T_T

unfortunate for people who need helmet xd

Stat prio in mythic raiding? So stuck for stat weights

so now i keep saying im going to save for goraks then not and rolling more shoulders and crying

420.69% crit

upper cradle

i did crit is still my top stat

grizzled jay
#

the sim answered your question, crit is your best stat

wooden monolith
#

Hello I’m new here and got referred to here by a buddy I’m current struggling to find which corruptions to get that are BIS for my char specifically.

strange python
#

raid: expedient, m+: severe/strikethrough

wooden monolith
#

But when I sim it tells me crit is higher stat weigh doesn’t that mean severe would be better? Or just stay 7 expedients and I will be good?

grizzled jay
#

Haste gets better as you get more Haste.

#

When you have low iLvl, crit is the best stat pretty much across the board for most classes because crit gets more value when you have bad stats. But as you can scale other secondaries better, they can catch up and/or surpass crit.

wooden monolith
#

Okay sounds great thank you for the info. So I should work on getting gear that has haste/crit? And just stack exped? Im more worried about raid regardless anyways

grizzled jay
#

Worry about getting to the point of raiding first, then work on perfecting your character after

woeful minnow
#

that's the goal yes, but it might take a while before that sims better than whatever you have at the moment

#

the expedient build is pretty much your endgame but if your ilvl is low at the moment you probably won't see any increases in DPS from 1-2-3 pieces of expedient, all this stuff pretty much improves exponentially with your number of expedients and your ilvl

strange python
#

but if your gear is low why would you buy corruptions for it

#

and not just bank for endgame

#

we all made it without the vendor

wooden monolith
#

I am 7/12M and 478 item lvl and sim at around 98000 on patchwork but I’ve been stacking crit most of the time I’m just looking for guidance on how to pull more as we get the harder bosses

grizzled jay
#

Well don't expect to get near BM Hunters or Mages, Rogue as a class just can't do it without some build that has high variance. 98k is very good, the gap between you and a top parser is probably just Corruptions

wooden monolith
#

Okay cool thank you all for the info. Ima grind and keep siming! Much love!

hollow jolt
#

I've seen rogues go like 2 to 4 gushings again

#

for raid

#

with the bleed build

#

thoughts?

sullen pagoda
#

its worse than going expedients

viral valve
#

Gushing on 485s can be debatable, or if you don't have enough expedients.

If those are all your options, go breath for ST, but you should really get clf or blood

wanna get good at rogue then do end game in sl

trinkets wise i think spyglass and loaded dice?

cause i dontreally raid

well til i move server

is it worth getting one from nazjatar? the essence i mean

yes

a lot of people sim 4-5 target 40-60 seconds for aoe

viral valve

It's often better to try to examine logs from high keys than trying to sim for m+. Changing pull sizes and durations between different dungeons, comps and affixes means that whatever sims you run will differ a lot from real situations

@strange python I'm using Event Horizon instead of WA to track poisons/bleeds and it's really useful, plain and very simple to use.

#

Hey guys, I’m working towards the SS exsanguinate build and was wondering around what levels of haste does it start simming well?

vast forum
#

no specific number

pseudo hamlet
#

42% for me. But everyone has different gear.

vast forum
#

it will depend on your azerite/trinkets/other stats

clever perch
#

I have the 460 plumage and running vita for raid, 3 SS azerite pieces, my bis mechagon rings but only 2 expedients

#

Rank 2

Before a mythic cara chest, is there a second best chest with a SS trait from the vendor? Or would it just be a heroic cara chest?

How fast dots tick when you have 7 expedients, hero, and everything just procs good ?

fleet whale

half second, maybe even lower

verbal sparrow
#

that must be pog

#

even now I have think I've seen 0,7s max and I have only 12/12/9 expedients.
fking vendor, i want my expedients back

manic harness
#

At high level, why does Shrouded Suffocation become so good that 3 of them are necessary? Exsang builds or does Garrote scale that well?

fleet whale
#

it's crazy amount of haste we get from expedient

#

and more haste means more garrote ticks... which makes SS really good

#

also, 3 SS isn't actually neccessary to preform well. You can still do really well running the traditional DD Toxic Blade build

manic harness
#

Ah I didn't realize Haste affected Garrote ticks

#

thank you!

verbal sparrow
#

I think the most huge difference between another classes that are basically dotters is that SS gives you that damage to each tick, not just your final dmg

lean marten
#

bleeds and poisons are hasted now

verbal sparrow
#

at least I think Assa is the now only spec with traits like this

fleet whale
#

probably the best change rogues got in BFA

#

well at least for assassination lol

gritty yew
#

Hi there

#

quick question

#

Azerite BIS list?

verbal sparrow
#

I'm excited about shadowlands but since I started on BFA and traits do such a huge difference especially on rogue that I'm quite scared aswell if I will like some of the changes. I'm quite that kind of person that hates huge changes lol

#

@gritty yew check pins, there should be bis guide on assa from Raz

shy dust
#

Rogues in general don’t have traits that make up such a massive difference as you believe.

#

In comparison to actually broken traits like Blaster master and test of might

gritty yew
#

can't really find it

verbal sparrow
#

Since we've had a bunch of questions about the Expedient + Exsanguinate build, @scarlet sequoia was kind enough to write a guide on the topic.
Please reference this if you want to quickly get up to speed on details about the build and rotation:

this

gritty yew
#

oh, was looking for the general build, but thanks, works well

astral tiger
#

I don't know if there really is a "General build"

#

I think it depends on what you have or what you don't have

verbal sparrow
#

yea, I think the most general for you will be just to sim yourself and adjust. that's quite true that it depends what you have

civic forge
#

do i need to use expedients with the m+ assassin build with EB/SS at all or can i just use my outlaw gear (severe/strikethrough)

strange python
#

I can't wait for CT to sim better for me to try on aoe fights and m+ in tyranical weeks

#

Got the weapon from shrine dagger crit vers 465

#

shud i buy corruption for it ?

obsidian ruin
#

depends on how you play the game. If you have access to a mythic weapon, probably not, if you won't for a while just go for it

viral valve
#

You want the severe/strikethrough for m+

tropic burrow
#

anyone around 465-47o0 ilvl here?

#

Just wondering do you stay assassination for m+ or do you go outlaw?

prime void
#

@shy dust EB and SS make a huge difference

#

@tropic burrow why would you go outlaw

tropic burrow
#

Im having shitty dps, im 470 and i get like 45k dps

#

also got shitty corruptions

shy dust
#

He said it as in for rogue especially make a big difference when rogue doesn’t have any really defining traits like other specs do

#

EB is a fine trait but not insanely broken given that you still need ample targets for it to be strong and useless on ST

#

Also you can go outlaw or assassination . Assassination does however need specialized gear for m+

prime void
#

Kinda useless without eb

#

But bet

fleet whale
#

if you're doing like KR

shy dust
#

You can do fine without EB in keys

#

It’s not a set in stone requirement

fleet whale
#

3 SS with no EB is fine

tropic burrow
#

Also you can go outlaw or assassination . Assassination does however need specialized gear for m+
@shy dust damn.... how do you sim yourself for m+? which settings you use?

prime void
#

Eb is a pretty set in stone requirement if you want to push keys

#

Doing casual keys sure

rigid eagle
#

also m+ isn't nearly as weird as raid right

#

like just

#

strikethru + severe

#

EB + SS

#

dont get haste

prime void
#

As soon as you start pulling keys like you should you’re not doing much without EB

rigid eagle
#

and bam ur good

prime void
#

Yup

#

Crit mainstat on everything

tropic burrow
#

Whats this EB?

fleet whale
#

honestly haste isn't even that bad for M+ esp if you're just doing a weekly 15

rigid eagle
#

echoing blade

fleet whale
#

i just swap my azerite gear around and keep my exp pieces

#

and i'm still fin

rigid eagle
#

@fleet whale i lose 10k overall dps for going haste in m+ lol

prime void
#

Not talking about 15s lol

rigid eagle
#

and i dont even have echoing blades to scale with crit and versa

fleet whale
#

you get more boss damage too

prime void
#

Uh huh

fleet whale
#

what i'm trying to say is that exp isn't terrible for M+

tropic burrow
#

do you use hidden blades then aswell instead of toxic bomb?

fleet whale
#

if you don't have like a seperate crit set

prime void
#

Yeah I don’t think it’s terrible either

#

Pretty nice in Kr WS tyran

rigid eagle
#

yeah lol, it's even more situational than normal m+ sin

fleet whale
#

so if you can get your hands on a EB/SS azerite set

tropic burrow
#

which one is Ss?

fleet whale
#

you can still M+ as sin with the other expedient gear

#

Shrouded suffocation

tropic burrow
#

so EB+SS set is best for aoe? but does the chance increase or just the damage?

unborn pendant
#

Question: Is Crimson Tempest viable for ST for that Exsang build?

fleet whale
#

if you have really high haste

unborn pendant
#

How high are we talking?

fleet whale
#

north of 50%

#

probably even higher

unborn pendant
#

Yeesh

#

Yeah that'll be a while lmao

crimson palm
#

imagine if there was a tool that could tell you whether it's viable for ur char or not

solar flicker
#

crazy

#

or a search function in discord servers

vital haven
#

someone pin a message

#

i think its like 60% haste or close to that when starts being better than PB @unborn pendant

delicate bone
#

Even then it doesnt pull ahead by too much, if you don’t want to use it, don’t feel like you have to because it’s slightly better

unborn pendant
#

I'm probably nowhere near geared enough to play the build quite yet, but I'm looking to the future.

#

I'd much rather play a build I have full control over than a build that is entirely dependent upon tendies.

rigid eagle
#

@unborn pendant hey at least ur not playing the NP+ VoP build lul

manic harness
#

@rigid eagle way to call me out bro

rigid eagle
#

lmfao im actually curious about how that build goes

unborn pendant
#

I was initially

#

Ironically enough

rigid eagle
#

what even are the bis stats and corruptions lol

#

i think there's a limit to how often vop can proc right

unborn pendant
#

I don't know if this is even close to indicative of BiS, but...

#

My stat weights were so fucked with that build.

#

We're talking crit>crit>crit>crit>crit>crit>crit

rigid eagle
#

wat

#

crit?

#

thought it would be mastery first to scale the poison from NP lol

unborn pendant
#

Yeah, crit was simming best for me and all my top gear sims with it actively encouraged me to stack all the crit in the damn world.

rigid eagle
#

that's interesting lol

#

did it tell u to stack severe too

unborn pendant
#

I wasn't in a position to do so but iirc Severe simmed ahead of non-IS stuff.

#

Please for the love of god do not use that as an indication for what you SHOULD stack if you were to play said build though.

rigid eagle
#

lul

#

imagine going IS and VoP + NP

#

your dps is gonna go from like

#

150k to 50k

#

just show up to one boss and double everyone's damage

unborn pendant
#

The swings would be insane.

rigid eagle
#

then next fight ur doing less than tanks

viral valve
#

I really like the idea of stacking ineffables with VoP + NP

unborn pendant
#

I already feel super swingy when I'm playing the typical DD+TB build

viral valve
#

Not that it would be good, but it would be funny

rigid eagle
#

you know what's REALLY funny

#

IS actually isn't even rng with demon hunters since they get 10 trillion haste for free

#

meanwhile rogues have to spend our entire corruption budget just to get haste...

#

hero class gap i guess

royal lantern
#

i prefer stat% over shity dmg procs

#

the fact that haste% is able too open a new playstyle is better then "lel i do the same but i get a rng proc that sometimes does 40%of my dmg"

rigid eagle
#

lol its not sometimes man

royal lantern
#

ik how idiothunter works, dont need too explain it

rigid eagle

idiothunter is right man

i've found IS 2 to be fairly reliable with my high haste build tbh

always ends up as 8-10% of my damage

IS 10

If you could link the sim, we could probably find some better answers

#

Is it possible to track with a WA of your dots are empowered by exsang/subter?

grizzled jay
#

I don't believe so

#

But Exsang should be pretty simple since you just pressed it and bleeds only last about 10s~ after pressing it

#

And Subter is only relevant in the opener and Vanish (and Sepsis into SL)

maybe this works, i havent tried it tho

it uses a custom event

@modern cedar thanks! ❤️

hey guys

#

thoughts on slithering loa helm for exsang build?

#

i tried simming with like rank 15 exped and exsang but 480 slithering loa helm is still hard shitting on 465 gibbering maw

#

don't have a 480 gibbering maw to compare tho..

#

yeah but gear compare option doesnt let me add 4x exped 3 to my current build lul

hoary snow
#

😂 for some weird reason at unlimited corruption, sims tell me tot go 8x exp and then 1x gushing on my 475 weapon 😂 while on other 475 pieces it's like, nah exp better

green forge
#

yeah but gear compare option doesnt let me add 4x exped 3 to my current build lul
@rigid eagle
Add these 4 expedient by code itself

wintry turret
#

How would be %20 leech for assassin ?

#

For pvp

fringe socket
#

do i want vers enchants for pvp

rigid eagle
#

@green forge ah that sounds hella hard lol

green forge
#

Pretty easy tbh

rigid eagle
#

barely an inconvenience?

green forge
rigid eagle
green forge
#

Just add it to the lign of the item (which have no corruption)

#

If it have corruption already, find the numbers & remplace it by the new numbers corruption you want

rigid eagle
#

i see lol

green forge
#

Pretty easy tbh
@green forge 😉

rigid eagle
#

oh bruh double dose + swirling sand is like 100 less dps than third SS + HoD lmao

#

wtf

#

slithering loa op

#

man imagine if we got SS + swirling sand instead

#

jesus

fathom swift
#

Double dose is not like a large difference to stacking ss on st with exsang build, its just once you add targets ss value skyrockets

Hey I'm new to the discord is there a chance I could talk to someone experienced in the channels abt rogue help

rancid bobcat
#

just ask here

forest saffron
#

So I have been building an entire spec ima 474 sin rogue off of icy veins, I checked my parses as I was only pulling low greens and was looking for some help

#

I looked into the top players and realized they all ran essangunate

#

How does that build work what's the stat priority and everything

vernal canyon
#

yeah, there's a new build going around

#

going full haste with haste corruptions

forest saffron
#

Secondary stat mastery?

#

Or crit?

astral tiger
#

Both are usually pretty equal

#

There's a guide in pins for it

forest saffron
#

That build is showing toxic blade though

#

Not essanguinate

astral tiger
#

oh my b

forest saffron
#

Is that the new optimal build?

#

Or is toxic blade still better with sub 40percent haste

fathom swift
#

Depends on your gear, see how it sims for you but its prob not better with low haste

forest saffron
#

Thanks for all the help yall

#

Really appreciate it

devout mirage
#

Its my turn now

#

have any one aura for powered garrote?

glacial jasper
#

I love sepsis skill from night fae, fight me

jolly bison
#

is mindflay II worth anything or should i just save for expedients?

arctic walrus
#

expedient comes up tuesday/wednesday so you should just wait

faint edge
#

would it be better to stack expedient for assas or stack severe if I go outlaw often

loud brook
#

has the vendor followed predicted patterns?

hollow bridge
#

@faint edge haste for st outlaw is fine, but you dont play outlaw for ST, so its better really to have 2 different gear sets, one with sev and one with exp

faint edge
#

i mostly just go outlaw for keys so just trying to decide whether to stack severe or expedient when its up

long portal
#

You wouldn't want exped for outlaw keys

wary ice
#

anyone have any info on the TTK build referenced in the pins?

arctic walrus
#

what ttk build

wary ice
#

hmmmm maybe i imagined it? I remember reading something along the lines of "theres also a TTK build due tot he ilvl of the cara/nzoth pieces"

#

and it said "but if ur able to get this gear you probably dont need help"

#

I cant find it now though lol

rancid bobcat
#

doesnt sound familiar to me

inner zephyr
#

anyone suggest any of the corruptions for sale now i should buy?

#

i only have twisted apen on my dagger and gloves

rancid bobcat
#

save for expedient

#

potentially next week

inner zephyr
#

im sitting on 23k you think thats enough?

#

how many would i need?

sturdy python
#

Depends on your cloak and stuff. I think someone caught up on cloak can fit 7 rank 3s and a 2 and be at 59 corruption right now

inner zephyr
#

im at 62 resistance on my toon

rancid bobcat
#

just buy all you can pretty much

#

and you can apply as you catch up

modern heart
#

man im on that echoes grind for exp3

#

only have 23k

astral tiger
#

Do we have BiS rings besides mythic nzoth ring?

modern heart
#

mechagon rings

astral tiger
#

oh shit i forgot abou tthat

#

I have the haste proc one, but we want the "hit an enemy from behind" one right?

modern heart
#

ye

astral tiger
#

Aight ty

spark cloud
#

so i know theres a few different builds floating around, and a recent haste one going nuts, but which one is a better bet for average rating arenas and m+? i dont raid because i cant get a commitment to a raid time haha

prime void
#

Arena gear and m+ gear don’t go together

#

Neither do the builds

spark cloud
#

yeah i figured unfortunately. i just hate having multiple gear sets and a ton of gear in my bag, makes me go insane

prime void
#

I feel that

#

But that’s bfa

#

Welcome to no bag space

primal turret
#

What will happen when corruption resistance increase and we cant get the HoD Buff with full expedient? Twisted Appendague?

spark cloud
#

i say average rating arenas like 1500-1700 rating, for whenever my friend is on and he likes arenas lol. but i enjoy running m+ even if i havent gotten very high. does that haste build prevail in m+ or should i do another?

rancid bobcat
#

max resistance is 135 so if all you're concerned about is activating heart of darkness then you'll always be able to with just expedient 3

#

135+25=160

#

8 expedient 3 pieces

arctic walrus
#

max resistance with the correct build will be 55

gaunt aspen
#

how much haste ideally do you want for sin

long portal
#

All of it

gaunt aspen
#

so haste enchants and haste gems? 😄

long portal
#

For raid, ye. But you should sim. If you don't have a lot of exped or aren't playing exsang your stat prio maybe a little different

spark cloud
#

Anyone got ahold of a Pawn stat weights tab for the haste build i can plug into my pawn addon?

long portal
#

You can get that from raidbots by simming your character. Generally using stat weights is suboptimal to using top gear

gaunt aspen
#

this is my sim rn

#

only doing like 29-34k on raid fights

arctic walrus
#

log is probably better if you want us to see what you can be doing wrong

gaunt aspen
#

yeah one sec

#

ive only been playing sin for like 3 days so idk what im doing really

lethal ember
#

thats risky Stick, i did the same and got shredded haha

#

there is a guide in the pin

#

or if you look at the sims ability thing at the bottom

#

and learn the opener

#

then its just maintaining bleeds and shit till you can burst again

#

(very brief explanation)

gaunt aspen
#

yeah thats what i figured

#

prob just need to work on my rupture and garrote timing

#

and trying to use my cps better

steep plover
#

How come sims dont tell me to stack haste? Is it cause i need to stack a fuckton for it to be better than crit and tb

lethal ember
#

@gaunt aspen looking at your casts in logs, you dont have structure to what your doing, you kinda just press things

#

just go to the cast list on your sim, stand at a target dummy and copy the sim, opener, maintain, burst, maintain

gaunt aspen
#

basically yeah lol

lethal ember
#

its just that over and over

#

unless your in end game gear

#

it doesnt get any more complex

long portal
#

I'm not sure how current it is, but wowanalyzer may help you with your logs

arctic walrus
#

carapace is kind of a bad log to look at, but regardless you have some pretty glaring mistakes

#

first of all, you are running a shrouded suffication trait without subterfuge trait, which is a big loss. You aren't opening correctly, your cds are misaligned and that could use some work. openers can be listed in the ravenholdt guides specific to what traits and talents you have

#

you overcapped a lot a lot of combo points with mutilate, don't do that, you finish at 4/5 cp and dont mut to full. Try to not finisher and then toxic blade, you want your bleeds to have a relatively healthy cd, get to 3-5 cp and then use tb, it is the only acceptable trait to overcap on, so you always have a big envenom to start it off

delicate bone
#

also, dont use vendetta to garotte and sprint away, thats a lot of wasted DPS right there. i know the boss phased at this time, but you should have some sort of add on with timers that you can keep an eye on to avoid big mistakes like that

gaunt aspen
#

yeah i use a weakaura to watch my cds and stuff

#

but to be fair this was my first time doing raid bosses as sin, so i was a little lost

delicate bone
#

to be expected then for sure, just have to learn the fights and get comfortable with the spec tbh

gaunt aspen
#

fairly comfortable with the abilities and stuff now so i feel good about trying to actually use my abilities right for next raid

viral valve
#

Well, carapace phases on health percent, so dbm won't track phase timing, just don't use cds when the boss is less than ~10% from phasing

spark cloud
#

how often does MOTHER's vendor rotate corruption?

delicate bone
#

tue/fri

spark cloud
#

okay thanks

solar flicker
#

fuck i always spend before tb if im 4/5

#

:(

gritty timber
#

is gushing wounds still good for pve and pvp?

viral valve
#

For pve: if you drop a gushing, keep it until you can replace it with expedient, don't buy them, though. For pvp: ask in #pvp

gritty timber
#

ok sweet thanks i bought 2 just before the vendor reset so i can still trade them back but wanted to check

astral tiger
#

If I use CLF with the exsang build, do i just use it every like 4th vendetta or whatever? or should I just hold the CLF for a minute for the 3rd?

viral valve
#

I believe the consensus is that you should use on cool down if it gets you another full cast. But if the fight is 4-6 minutes, you won't lose a cast by holding

indigo elk
#

do we hold exsang im guessing we dont?

viral valve
#

That's answered in the guide

tropic burrow
#

this is my mate

#

running exangui buld with 7 gushing wounds

#

note that this is multi targed

#

but still

#

so far as ive heard expedient 3 is the best corruption to get atm

#

can someone correct me if im wrong?

lilac sparrow
#

How can I simc 3:30sec battle? I knew the way with advanced simc but forgot...

viral valve
#

Expedient outperforms gushing by a large margin once you stack enough of it. Raz's build gets higher than that on ST

tropic burrow

@viral valve whats enough? 4 of em or even more?

rigid eagle
#

@tropic burrow i mean exsang doesn't have any interaction with gushing

#

idk why you wouldn't just run vigor + tb

tropic burrow
#

dunno, thats his new build from few days ago, ill ask him when i see him online

fathom swift
#

what do you mean "his new build"

#

when he said the first gushing on a 485 piece was simming about the same as the 8th piece of expedient for him?

tropic burrow
#

from wednesday

#

when he bought gushings

fathom swift
#

you're gonna have to be more specific than wednesday

tropic burrow
#

when the vendor gotten up he went and bought 7 gushing wounds and replaced all his corruptions at that time

#

he then (i think) switched to exanguinate

#

im not 100% sure, ill need to check with him when he gets online today

fathom swift
#

o i thought you meant raz not ur friend

tropic burrow
#

no no, my mate

#

dunno who raz is tbh

fathom swift
#

a guy people like to copy gear from dw

tropic burrow
#

Raz got expedients from what ive read like 5 or 6 posts above?

rigid eagle
#

@tropic burrow basically haste scales ur bleed

tropic burrow
#

and proces aswell?

rigid eagle
#

eh depends

tropic burrow
#

someone told me it also scales how often your corruptions will proc

rigid eagle
#

massive haste definitely takes a bit of rng out of infinite stars

fathom swift
#

but yeah with gushing nerf expedient is just better when you're running exsang
