"i mean i got like 500 points over like a long weekend"

#

you saw that right

tropic ocean
#

yeah so?

#

i can get 2k points over a weekend

rigid eagle
#

is that rly choking lol

tropic ocean
#

but what do you want to tell

rigid eagle
#

lol 0 to 2k

#

or 2k to 4k

tropic ocean
#

yeah ?

#

depending on how much u play

#

u can do 2k to 4k

#

0 to 2k

#

0 to 3k

#

no clue what you want to express

rigid eagle
#

pugging? nuts! well played!

shut garnet
#

ah right so we’re making the distinction that going 500 up is more “pog” the higher rating you go

tropic ocean
#

theres ppl that pug 4k+

#

so what do you want to tell

shut garnet
#

so where did your +500 take you?

tropic ocean
#

even 5k+

#

and actually

#

if you are at 3k its easier to gain 500 points in a weekend

#

than if you are at 2k

#

because you know, the keys give more points

#

🤷

rigid eagle
#

went from trying to find a siege key for keystone master to about 2.3k, so im at least not 100% worthless now

tropic ocean
#

ok but what do you want tot ell

#

i dont get it

#

u say ur teams are bad

#

and you are better

#

but ur score doesnt reflect it

rigid eagle
#

i say you run into good and bad people while pugging

tropic ocean
#

yeah

shut garnet
#

climb to higher score and you’ll get better teams

#

on avg

tropic ocean
#

u run into good and bad ppl while playing in teams too

#

u run into good and bad people when leaving your front door

rigid eagle
#

"i can't possibly tell what my team is gonna need when I don't know if they'll int me lol"

#

we've circled back to this now

tropic ocean
#

?????????

#

no

#

you just dont understand

#

you cant know if someone ints or not

#

but you can see affix, key and class

#

and base your decision on that

shut garnet
#

dude there is just a standard m+ build you play unless SPECIFICALLY instructed otherwise

tropic ocean
#

or would you not use pots in raid cuz u dont know if ur team ints or not

#

wtf

shut garnet
rigid eagle
#

and the standard build is 3SS + 3EB lol

shut garnet
#

right, so use that

rigid eagle
#

@tropic ocean is saying i can drop EB completely just by looking at team comp xD

tropic ocean
#

yeah u can?

#

and I did so

#

all last week

#

and the week before

#

and timed every key I joined

#

🤷

#

how does people playing bad have something to do

#

with group comp

rigid eagle
#

ppl playing bad = ppl not achieving what their comp is supposed to achieve

tropic ocean
#

so?

#

and ppl playing good but you not adapting

#

means you int

#

*uno reverse card

shut garnet
#

you keep pointing to the same obvious statement of “there are bad players in pug content”

tropic ocean
#

and i highly doubt you can even assume that not playing eb is int

rigid eagle
#

@shut garnet i keep pointing to the fact that it's pretty hard to predict how each run will go

tropic ocean
#

and noone said anything contradicting

shut garnet
#

thats the point, you cant predict it because it’s a froup of FOUR RANDOMS

rigid eagle
#

and so the standard build of some aoe and some single target will be statistically better than specializing for ST with only 3 SS

shut garnet
#

You’re the only factor thats CONSTANT

tropic ocean
#

no?

#

your logic is insanely flawed

#

because you assume non eb is non aoe

#

but its not

#

generic stat traits have value in everything

#

cleave

#

aoe

#

st

#

while eb has no value in st

rigid eagle
#

how much does 2 dark hearts and a Blightborne buff your FoK dps tho

crimson palm
tropic ocean
#

i dont know and it doesnt matter

#

how much does eb do for you when you pull saurids and skyscreamer

#

to pad on stuff that dies anyway

#

while u can also just kill skyscreamer

#

?

#

how much value does eb have on packs like augur+confessor

#

and in value i dont mean overall dps

rigid eagle
#

"stuff that dies anyway" is sketchy lol

shut garnet
#

it isnt

tropic ocean
#

not really

#

but ok

shut garnet
#

there is such thing called “a priority target”

#

for a good reason

rigid eagle
#

maybe it's cuz i never farmed out my conflict and strife but i've legit had a +15 small dino jump me and instapop my cheat death

shut garnet
#

uhh

#

repair your gear before the instance idk man

rigid eagle
#

LOL

tropic ocean
#

if small dino jumps you

rigid eagle
#

srsly a lot of these little white shits hurt like hell

tropic ocean
#

you play it wrong

#

no eb/non eb issue

#

and not sure how small dino can 1shot in +15

#

but yea sure

rigid eagle
#

im legit just standing there hitting the skycreamer and bam my healthbar is gone

tropic ocean
#

ok ?

shut garnet
#

point being while playing 3SS3HoD will lead to a lower overall, it’ll do a lot more to prio shit

#

which might actually benefit your group to timing the key a lot more

#

than FoKing saurids with 3EB 50crit

#

so you have a big shiny 5 digit overall

tropic ocean
#

u have 5digit without eb as well

#

I did 21 atal yesterday3 ss2hod 1 bbi melting confessor before bl was over

shut garnet
#

yea i mean the dmg diff isnt even THAT huge anyway

tropic ocean
#

melting every guard/augur

rigid eagle
#

i mean if you cant hit 5 digits then you really have to repair your gear lmao

tropic ocean
#

leaving key with 109k overall top dps

#

🙂

deft obsidian
#

Ultimately depends on your group setup. AOE tends to be less of an issue in lower keys. So focusing full ST is fine

winter gale
#

Yo yo

tropic ocean
#

wait

#

4.1k without eb

deft obsidian
#

If no magoo definitely priority target burst is huge

winter gale
#

How to corectly use CE on single target fights?

shut garnet
#

CE?

tropic ocean
#

u get ce

#

then never login again

winter gale
#

CT

tropic ocean
#

just keep the dot up

#

😛

winter gale
#

Hahahaha

tropic ocean
#

I only did 21 atal and 22 jy last week cuz busy

#

but played raid build as well

#

and topped meter in both keys

#

so not bad per se

#

and def huge value on nasty packs

#

not as good as firemage, but similar

winter gale
#

Refresh it after it expires or a bit sooner? It sims 0.5% better for me

tropic ocean
#

refresh in pandemic

shut garnet
#

wow haste build in JY did the zap omegacarry like the outlaw tc mastermind predicted ausr

tropic ocean
#

unless exsanged

shut garnet
winter gale
#

Yes

#

Ok

tropic ocean
#

and for keys like kr/ws

#

its nobrain to play raidbuild

#

any affix

rigid eagle
#

...and then you go into freehold

tropic ocean
#

but I personally think atal gets more into it as well

rigid eagle
#

again, crippling depression

#

right on the first pull

deft obsidian
#

Yeah running full raid build in JY is mega fun

rigid eagle
#

when they grab the entire area and lust

tropic ocean
#

so?

#

its not like u dont do dps with raid build

#

aoe is still 300,400k+

#

O_o

shut garnet
#

but mah FoKs

sullen pagoda
#

ye you can still do really good with full haste

rigid eagle
#

how is aoe still 300k?

tropic ocean
#

use pot

#

3 garrote

#

press ct

#

press blood

#

do dps

#

??

shut garnet
#

if u dont 3 garrote ct vanish 3 garrote rup

tropic ocean
#

3 target garrote is already 300k+ with haste build

#

lol

winter gale
#

Is there any opener in pins for CT build?

shut garnet
#

are u even gaming that pack properly

#

yep

rigid eagle
#

i think the packs are still just dying too quickly in +17s then

shut garnet
#

there’s an m+ opener by seli and a raid guide by raz in the pins

#

@winter gale

rigid eagle
#

CT doesn't ramp up that much

#

and once the first 3 garrotes fall off its game over

shut garnet
#

yeah, aka the pack is dead

rigid eagle
#

that's the ideal case

tropic ocean
#

idk

#

haste build

shut garnet
#

no that is what happens if youre not playing with a boomy and a feral druid

#

firemage literally hits 1mil dps on the first pull of freehold

tropic ocean
#

haste build too

#

literally fine on any keylvl/dungeon

rigid eagle
tropic ocean
#

why would u bote

#

before ct

#

and ur dps is generally low

#

its not a build issue

rigid eagle
#

ct has a initial hit right

tropic ocean
#

yeah but the dmg of it

#

is small

#

fok will do more

rigid eagle
#

blood right after garrote gives the crit stuff the most uptime

sullen pagoda
#

i mean you wont beat a good fire mage that is being played around with any class except hunter maybe @shut garnet

rigid eagle
#

and also buffs the aoe hit a bit

tropic ocean
#

the opener u do

#

is bad

shut garnet
#

yeah obviously, the goal is never to beat the firemage though

tropic ocean
#

u cant beat firemage

#

even if ur hunter does 20k more overall

rigid eagle
#

triple garrote into blood of the enemy isn't how it works

tropic ocean
#

firemage will carry the key

#

its bad

#

especially when u use eb traits

#

lol

shut garnet
#

you never triple garrote into blood

#

you dont wanna waste fok casts in the first 5 blood gcds

#

lol

rigid eagle
#

@tropic ocean 0/3 EB is why im salty about azerites dude

tropic ocean
#

but then also

shut garnet
#

you still dont do that

tropic ocean
#

you would ct>bote>fok

shut garnet
tropic ocean
#

and as said

#

you don't need ebs

#

at all

#

my friend pushed 3.5k and he has no eb azerite too

rigid eagle
#

wait can u link me ur sim

tropic ocean
#

not sure how my sim will help u

rigid eagle
#

i wanna see if its an ilvl thing

#

cuz my raid set is legit just breaking past 470

crimson palm
#

are you suspecting that better geared people will actually do more damage?

tropic ocean
#

from what you write from my pov

#

its more of an gameplay/understanding thing

#

your opener is already wrong

#

so is many things you write about m+

steep plover
#

Oi does the specific chest piece matter if the azeritr traits are the same? It should right

rigid eagle
#

.

#

@tropic ocean !!!!

steep plover
#

Life if i have ss and eb

tropic ocean
#

???

rigid eagle
#

ur legit like 10 ilvls higher than me lmfao

tropic ocean
#

and??

rigid eagle
#

is that not a significant gap somehow..

tropic ocean
#

i legit have no clue what you are trying toa rgue

#

to argue or say

#

ilvl is not something that matters a big lot

#

and especially not at these lvls

#

I pushed this rogue to 3k before corruption vendor

dark crag
#

Neck lvl matters more

tropic ocean
#

with 465 azerite

#

🤷

#

dps generally is most of the time not a big issue in keys itself

#

and rarely the thing that depletes your key

#

or at least for me I didn't have a key yet where I thought afterwards damn, if we had 3k more dps we would've timed

#

because even if as you said hunter doing 50k dps

#

if all 3 ur dps do 50k dps and you play clean

#

you'll time 17

steep plover
#

When do u reckon u shoukd play the ss+eb build? Like kr and ws right?

rigid eagle
#

wait but 3 months ago you were playing 3 eb lmao

steep plover
#

Shouldnt*

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

because I didn't have access to targeted corruptions

#

lol

#

@steep plover eb has little value in keys like kr/ws because pulls are small/little amount of trash

#

so yeah

steep plover
#

Easy

tropic ocean
#

I still play ss eb I just change it when needed depending on group and dungeon and affix

#

as said

#

and yeah obviously months ago when I pushed I just played what I had

#

cuz there was no vendor

steep plover
#

I finally got a chest with eb and ss today how good 😍

tropic ocean
#

I ran around with tentacles in m+

#

and other shit

kind edge
#

Hey guys, can someone send me a link of their armory to check their ST assassination build?

#

I see some things are changed, people use exsanguinate now and some traits might be changed

tropic ocean
#

Ye

steep plover
#

Pins have the build

rigid eagle
#

lol after taking off EB, you went from +21 to +22

#

in 3 months

tropic ocean
#

what do you want to say

#

?_?

steep plover
#

Why the fuck are youse still fighting over builds lmao

cunning needle
#

i forgot what the original arguement was about lmao

tropic ocean
#

Ive no clue what youre trYing to say

rigid eagle
#

just that i feel like 3 EB + 3 SS along with the targeted corruptions

#

could've pushed a bit further in 3 months lol

tropic ocean
#

idk if u are trolling

#

Why u trying to teach me

#

I couldve probably pushed more y but I prefered to push dh

kind edge
#

You guys don't use Twisted Knife anymore?

tropic ocean
#

And gear my warrior

#

🤷🏿‍♂️

deft obsidian
#

Come back from a breakfast. The lads are still going 😂

kind edge
#

pin say - if you don't like exsanguinate, don't worry about it

#

yey

deft obsidian
#

Becoming top popcorn now

kind edge
#

i wont

#

😄

#

But seriously though, I see you don't use Twisted Knife anymore

rigid eagle
kind edge
#

You run 3x SS and 3x EB

#

yap

#

Cool

tropic ocean
#

Ur next step to improving is

#

Fix attitude

#

Learn dungeons

#

Then worry about azerite

distant lava
#

Pushing is about being consistent and having a group

#

Thats the most important part

tropic ocean
#

cuz if u think they timed 27 cuz of eb

#

Idk what to say anymore

distant lava
#

Yeah they timed it despite having an assa rogue Kappa

sullen pagoda
#

madlads

cunning needle
#

no DJ it's about having a can-do attitude and never giving up!

#

friendship always finds a way

rigid eagle
#

so there's no reason why all the top runs have EB

#

coincidence...

tropic ocean
#

😂

#

U r a troll

#

Legit

rigid eagle
#

i really should stop looking at top builds then

distant lava
#

I mean you can't get a group if you have a shit attitude, but yeah I agree

rigid eagle
#

its leading me astray

tropic ocean
#

Morningwind was top assa rogue playing hidden blades

#

Therefore hiddenblades is top talent

#

Right

kind edge
#

Can you use poison bomb instead of Crimson Tempest?

tropic ocean
#

Yes

distant lava
#

Wait aus

kind edge
#

Thanks Aus

distant lava
#

Thats not how it goes ?

tropic ocean
#

Idk

#

I have no xp

balmy blade
#

😄

distant lava
tropic ocean
#

But i got a new plan

#

I eq outlaw gear once key started i go out switch assa

rigid eagle
#

@tropic ocean is morningwind 40% of the top clears?

#

that's actually a legit question

tropic ocean
#

do u actually understand

#

How u time a key

rigid eagle
#

not familiar with top players, just a blind metasheep

tropic ocean
#

?

distant lava
#

peepoStudy you're the gift that keeps on giving aren't you

rigid eagle
#

obviously that's leading somewhere, so pls elaborate

kind edge
#

@tropic ocean You referred to me right? I can use poison bomb instead of Crimson Tempest?

#

Like in the good old days

tropic ocean
#

yea

kind edge
#

Cool, thanks again 😄

#

just wanted to make sure

tropic ocean
crimson palm
tropic ocean
#

27 timed with master poisoner hidden blades

#

ok

quasi pewter
#

tol dagor propably

rigid eagle
#

"is morningwind 40% of the top clears" was my question

tropic ocean
#

no hes not

rigid eagle
#

yeah that means he's an outlier right

tropic ocean
#

idk?

rigid eagle
#

statistically he's an anomaly, normal people don't clear with his specific build

tropic ocean
#

so

rigid eagle
#

and statistically speaking the build that makes up 40% of the top clears is probably going to work best for an average player?

crimson palm
#

ur still missing the point

#

like holy fuck

tropic ocean
#

the site you linked

#

basically reflects 1:1 what I said

#

even though you still dont understand it

#

m+ is no static environment

#

you do what your group needs

#

I highly doubt its playing exsang master poisoner hidden blades, but to each its own

rigid eagle
#

what you said that it is possible to push high without EB, what I'm trying to say, maybe poorly, is that EB build is gonna make the push way easier

tropic ocean
#

and you base that

sullen pagoda
#

Not really depending on affixes and key

tropic ocean
#

on that 40% play eb for the top keys

cunning needle
#

i mean it sounds like you're both right blobshrug

tropic ocean
#

but what are 40% of those top keys

#

😉

rigid eagle
#

"1200 Assassination Rogue M+ logs"

#

out of 1200 ppl clearing from 18 to 28, 40% of them used 3 EB

sullen pagoda
#

i mean

cunning needle
#

yeah but for KR - EB wouldn't be as good right?

rigid eagle
#

or 1200 clears done by less people

sullen pagoda
#

18 is a meme

#

its literally whos gonna aoe first

#

and take all the aoe

tropic ocean
#

so we have a very inflated statistic

#
  • we also dont have logs for the top m+ players
#

but yeah sure

sullen pagoda
#

if you go by 18s all the DHs should play some bote fel barage tos trinket always

rigid eagle
#

that's actually a good point, but what even counts at top sin M+ lol

#

are the ppl pushing to 30 actually taking sin rogues?

#

or is like 28 the highest this spec goes

tropic ocean
#

so it shows

#

sin 3 ss 3 eb

#

+28

#

but theres only 2 logged +28 assa rogue dungeons

#

junkyard and siege

#

and the siege is hard deplete

#

and in the junkyard 28

#

the guy played

#

0 eb*

rigid eagle
#

link we the jy 28 lol im not seeing it

rigid eagle
#

wait but that's 3 eb

tropic ocean
#

seems like good trinket/talent/azerite choices

#

essences too

rigid eagle
#

but that's ALSO 3 eb..

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

might run master poisoner

#

merethkas fang

#

formless void and iris minor too

cunning needle
#

it almost looks like he's changing up his build for which dungeon he runs?

rigid eagle
#

but even in this dynamic environment, EB doesnt seem to change?

strange python
#

I’m new to discord , where are the pins located for bleed build

tropic ocean
#

what dynamic environment

#

when u have 5 logged runs

rigid eagle
#

he's changing up fookin everything aside from EB lmao

tropic ocean
#

lol

cunning needle
#

pins are located on the pin button

#

top right

strange python
#

Sweet thanks

sullen pagoda
#

that toldagor build looks like a big memer

tropic ocean
#

one more interesting fact

#

taht eb guy

#

played outlaw

#

for parts of the dungeon

#

so wait

sullen pagoda
#

oh ye

tropic ocean
#

did he maybe play assa in first room big pull

#

and then changed spec

sullen pagoda
#

he just started the key as assa

cunning needle
#

lol what

tropic ocean
#

mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

sullen pagoda
#

the build did look like complete garbage

tropic ocean
#

very meaningful statistic

rigid eagle
#

lol so he legit picked sin for the EB?

tropic ocean
#

surprise

sullen pagoda
#

mate

rigid eagle
tropic ocean
#

eb is good when u pull 30 mobs

sullen pagoda
#

have u ever seen how they do start of toldagor or u trolling @rigid eagle

#

xD

#

its legit 50 mobs

rigid eagle
#

@sullen pagoda i have lol, that's sorta the point

tropic ocean
#

and for the rest of tol dagor

#

where u have small pull sizes

#

will eb be good?

sullen pagoda
#

and where else would u see that magnitude of pull that makes EB giga over SS?

rigid eagle
#

freehold start

tropic ocean
#

lol

sullen pagoda
#

freehold start

#

is nowhere

#

close to it

#

like

rigid eagle
#

im not sure about motherload

sullen pagoda
#

not even half

tropic ocean
#

name one dungeon where u can pull that big

#

oh yeah

#

sots can pull all plobs

#

true

#

tos conscript room

#

too

sullen pagoda
#

big blobs dam

rigid eagle
#

"that big" as in pulling the exact same number of mobs

cunning needle
#

KR with all those shadow mobs at the start!

rigid eagle
#

or pulling like 4 packs at a time?

sullen pagoda
#

that big as anywhere close to that amount of mobs

tropic ocean
#

which dungeons pack

sullen pagoda
#

which is

tropic ocean
#

have the mob count

sullen pagoda
#

nowhere

tropic ocean
#

of tol dagor entrance

sullen pagoda
#

except ToS gaunglet

tropic ocean
#

maybe plobs in kr

sullen pagoda
#

yep

#

and KR pack is like in middle of dungeon

rigid eagle
#

maggots in waycrest LOL

sullen pagoda
#

you dont gimp yourself for whole dungeon for 1 meme pull

#

even maggots arent that many unless you miss kicks pretty sure

tropic ocean
#

he played 3 eb

#

for the first 2min of the dungeon

#

and influences a whole statistic

#

for 27 key

#

not bad

rigid eagle
#

interesting how he switched to outlaw after the pulls got smaller tho

tropic ocean
#

u remind me a lot of autoattak

tropic ocean
#

yeah

bleak spoke
#

you play sin at the start of tol because you need a slow

tropic ocean
#

so with that log u want to tell us

#

we should play raden weapon and blackwater weapon?

bleak spoke
#

there's no other pull like that in the game

tropic ocean
#

so he did 73k dps overall

#

while completely gimping his boss dps

#

while u can just do more overall

#

and not gimping your boss dps

rigid eagle
#

but he timed a 27...

tropic ocean
#

wow

#

flawless logic

sullen pagoda
#

i mean you can time a 27 with sub rogue also when you have a mage destroying every pack

#

doesnt mean sub is good

tropic ocean
#

yeah

bleak spoke
#

i mean that team litearlly exists to enable the mage

rigid eagle
#

so the 3 eb guy is legit getting boosted

#

oof

bleak spoke
#

no

#

he isn't

tropic ocean
#

u r just trolling

#

he does what his team needs to function

#

something I try to hammer into your brain since 2 hours

bleak spoke
#

which is applying a slow to mobs

tropic ocean
#

and yes his build works when u have a mage that does x2 ur dps on bosses

sullen pagoda
#

ngl this is 10/10 content while working

bleak spoke
#

to be fair i also have a mage that does 2x my dps on bosses

#

i might no meme do this

cunning needle
#

how the fuck you working when laughing every 10 seconds

bleak spoke
tropic ocean
#

just play raden weap

#

folly

#

full eb

#

and blast

#

cuz thats how u time 27s

#

oh and pray that u have 180k dps mage

rigid eagle
#

lol is that not how the higher keys work tho

#

they have to pull bigger to time right

bleak spoke
#

like my damage clearly doesn't matter at all

tropic ocean
#

combooooooooost

rigid eagle
#

and im still really just not getting why this man would need to build 3 EB when its the mage doing all the dmg, does the echoes also apply slow?

bleak spoke
#

no but you have consistent aoe

tropic ocean
#

man

#

they just keep chaining big packs all the time

#

so overall yes he will do more

bleak spoke
#

that is agnostic to timers

#

and isn't reliant on flurry charges etc

tropic ocean
#

they also pull packs

#

into boss too

#

they pull pack+double obelisk into last boss

#

gl doing that

rigid eagle
#

bigger pulls to make the time right

tropic ocean
#

in your pug

bleak spoke
#

honestly the guy he should probably just play 1 ss 2 ttk

#

and just play envenom funnel with taht setup

#

he has no haste for exsang anyway lmao

tropic ocean
#

idk just cba anymore

#

play 3 ss 3eb

#

when ur key sucks blame ur team

#

and gl in shadowlands

bleak spoke
#

wait why would you play over 3ss 3eb

#

what*

tropic ocean
#

raid build

bleak spoke
#

i guess

#

don't think you would in some keys though

tropic ocean
#

original argument was to play what your team needs

bleak spoke
#

ah

rigid eagle
#

i thought my original argument was that the standard 3 EB build is more widely applicable and therefore better

bleak spoke
#

well that should be a prior assumption to any discussion of gear in keys yeah

tropic ocean
#

its not

#

and what u linked

#

100% underlines that

#

being able to adapt your build to what your party needs is legit only good side of sin rogue

tropic ocean
#

cuz guy is playing raden weapon folly

#

cuz his group needs it

sullen pagoda
#

if you want to use 1 build total just play outlaw then @rigid eagle

tropic ocean
#

needs it/works with it

bleak spoke
#

it honestly just depends on your comp

rigid eagle
#

ah im going in circles now

bleak spoke
#

there's no general answer

tropic ocean
#

you never left your circle

bleak spoke
#

to what you should play

tropic ocean
#

but your circle is wrong

#

thats all

rigid eagle
#

pugging in the low 2ks is never knowing what sort of team you're going into, but I have to play different builds to support the team

tropic ocean
#

the rio doesnt matter

rigid eagle
#

in order to climb out of low 2k

tropic ocean
#

you can see your team comp

#

and in order to climb out of 2k

#

u need to play good

#

learn the classes

bleak spoke
#

i mean in low keys it doesn't matter what you play as long as you don't scuff

tropic ocean
#

the dungeons the affixes

#

and fix ur attitude

#

thats it

sullen pagoda
#

because dungeons where AoE isnt as important playing raid like build will benefit you more

tropic ocean
#

one thing that helped me to improve rio is

#

listening to more experienced players

sullen pagoda
#

like killing bosses faster leaves less room for error

tropic ocean
#

instead of constantly arguing against them

bleak spoke
#

if you want to climb out of there with your own two hands so to speak, you play outlaw you learn what literally every cast sequence on every mob is and you "fix" the dungeon with your cc

#

otherwise just hit buttons and don't make obvious mistakes you'll climb over time?

sullen pagoda
#

you 100% wont deplete an 18 from lack of aoe damage cuz u went raid build instead of 3x eb crit stack

bleak spoke
#

^

tropic ocean
#

you wont deplete a 22 either

#

and I highly doubt at 23 or 24

bleak spoke
#

you won't even deplete a 24 like that

tropic ocean
#

but I can't 100% say that cuz i only did up to 22s

#

i dont deplete many keys but all the depletes are

#

mechanic failures

bleak spoke
#

at 25 it starts becoming tighter i feel

tropic ocean
#

wipes

#

never dmg

#

in 22 atal we went last boss

#

with almost 8 min left

#

and deplete it

bleak spoke
#

but even then the damage is usually the last enemy to be defeated

tropic ocean
#

cuz everyone int spiders

#

no dmg will carry that

bleak spoke
#

it's not scuffing and not having your tank randomly fall over and then after that it's your route not being dog

tropic ocean
#

deplete 22 kr

#

cuz tank gets knocked off platform

bleak spoke
#

lmao

tropic ocean
#

basically never dmg issue in any key

#

depelete 22sots

#

cuz 2nd boss cleave party fiesta

bleak spoke
#

to be fair if it's being tanked on the side

#

dps/healer should have the courtesy to actaully look

#

at the only thing that can wipe them

tropic ocean
#

dmg is so irrelevant most of the time

bleak spoke
#

kinda makes me angry when tanks apologize for "pointing the cleave bad"

#

in that situation

tropic ocean
#

due to outgearing

bleak spoke
#

LOL

#

like

tropic ocean
#

at least for non top keys

#

like that 22 jy yesterday

#

paladin dps was floorpov all dungeon

bleak spoke
#

imagine making your homies immune to tornados

tropic ocean
#

and still almost 5min under time

bleak spoke
#

and having ppl complain about the cleave

tropic ocean
#

idk if u die to cleave

#

should not talk

bleak spoke
#

^

tropic ocean
#

especially since its fixed now

#

instead of 180 sniping movement cleave

bleak spoke
#

oh does he not point it at the dead body of the woman now

#

lmao

tropic ocean
#

dunno when they changed it

#

but he just fixes it on a location now

#

and before he was doing it while moving

#

iirc

bleak spoke
#

yeh

tropic ocean
#

which was kinda nasty sometimes

#

if u didnt pay attention

cunning needle
#

ausrr what minor essences do you use

bleak spoke
#

that's the key bit though yeah

tropic ocean
#

for what

bleak spoke
#

its literally whether ppl are paying attention

cunning needle
#

m+

#

for non EB situations

tropic ocean
#

usually

#

vision breath iris/conflict

#

iris in stuff like atal kr or ws

#

where i dont do a lot of target swapping and can keep the buff up

cunning needle
#

no lucid dreams?

bleak spoke
#

this is in raid build

tropic ocean
#

nope

cunning needle
#

though i suppose you have high enough haste

tropic ocean
#

not needed in raidbuild

#

and for eb dungeons I just play lucid conflict breath

cunning needle
#

bote as major yeh?

tropic ocean
#

y

cunning needle
#

kk

#

thanks

tropic ocean
#

pretty much always

#

think breath major can be decent in some dungeons but

bleak spoke
#

bote slams in keys

tropic ocean
#

too lazy

bleak spoke
#

insane opening burst on cleave packs

formal willow
#

is gushing wounds unnerfed? herodamage lists it as best corruption again

warped panther
#

Can you help me somehow push a little bit more or thats my limit currently?

hidden bay
#

!ui

#

hello kappa wheres the wago links

steep plover
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
calm lily
#

you didnt sim formless void right?

warped panther
#

No I didnt

steep plover
#

It might be better than cnf

#

Conflict and strife*

warped panther
#

but best sim is with iris?

calm lily
#

and i think you need to sim mastery gems aswell

warped panther
#

hm let me try that ok

manic pebble
#

it's so hard to get gorak tul's mantle from arzerite random shoulder 😦

harsh flume
#

Still pretty new to rogue. but is there a recommended amount of Crit / mastery i should aim for when running full rank 3 Expedient?

calm lily
#

its easy you buy it first week and get it 😄

manic pebble
#

wdym first week?

#

it's so cheap back then?

calm lily
#

i mean the first week you could buy rnd pieces

cunning grove
#

Just started gearing alt as ass, just I just be hoarding exp 3 for when i have decent gear?

manic pebble
#

just slap exp 3 on the pieces than you think it's gonna stay with you for a long time

vestal granite
#

I was tearing my hairs out yesterday but couldnt get enough echoes for honed mind 3 >:_<
Turns out I had a 470 belt with hm3 on it on my bank kekchamp

manic pebble
#

2 weeks ago I made a big mistake

#

bought wrong corruption and didn't check it

#

until it was too late

vestal granite
#

last week I grinded like a shitton of echoes to buy vers3

#

late into tuesday night

#

and forgot to buy it

#

XD

#

oh well

#

which one did you buy? leech? avoidance?

manic pebble
#

I bought deadly momentum instead of expedient 3

#

I realized it when I was trying to apply it on my gear lol

vestal granite
#

couldve been a lot worse

#

may put that one on offspec or aoe set

#

at least

brave river
#

I'm new to assassin; around 445 ilvl, does anyone have any tips and advice for increasing my dps/essences/traits. Basically starting from scratch learning!

strange python
#

Read the wowhead guide

#

And get Gear and essences

vestal granite
#

Does anyone have an approximate breakpoint for when I will use Crimson Tempest over Poison Bomb in Single target?

#

with exsang of

runic tinsel
#

no

vast forum
#

exact breakpoint is when it starts simming better

#

you can start using it a bit earlier than that on bosses that move and have more cleave

steel ferry
#

Given ct scales of both mastery and haste, it's hard give a proper approximation

vast forum
#

CT scales with all 4 stats

#

PB only scales with 3

#

haste is the only difference

vestal granite
#

my sims telling me its a -1.5k dps on ST but thats a small loss for increased flexibility im

vast forum
#

1.5k isn't small

vestal granite
#

yea it is^^

vast forum
#

use it then blobshrug

vestal granite
#

just wondering beceuase I swear I read something somewhere about ct catching up but might be mistaken

tropic ocean
#

ct is better

#

if u have the gear

#

even in pure st

wet ruin
#

can you post your sim @vestal granite

vestal granite
#

and before anyone OCD's the corruption is at 58 now 😄

red plaza
#

haste is still too low, I wanna say it's ~ 50% base where CT will overtake PB in ST

ebon heath
#

Guys did you farm 25k residuum for gorak tuls or just buyrng shoulders ?

red plaza
#

I got em on my 8th shoulder gamble right after I main swapped to Mage XD

manic pebble
#

if you really want it, just save residuum for it

#

don't be unlucky like me

ebon heath
#

Im trying to build around expedient but im still getting DD pieces 😦

crimson palm
#

roll it, mechagon shoulders are also fine

manic pebble
#

the chance is 1/7 if you wanna risk it 😄

crimson palm
#

and so are ilgy

red plaza
#

ilgynoth shoulders are good too

slim estuary
#

Hey, so I’m still new and trying to get a raid spot in my guild again. I need to get some expedient but I don’t want to use my tokens on trash gear that I’ll replace fast. Is the boe ring decent? It’s crit haste?

wet ruin
#

@vestal granite sorry for the delay, but you are running Twist the Knife, there is no way CT sims better since the APL simply does not use CT if you have 1 or more TTK traits

vestal granite
#

ah

#

makes sense

wet ruin
#

but you are also missing A LOT of sockets

vestal granite
#

yea they are all on my pvp gear xd

wet ruin
#

also HoD is very good in giving you stats, so if you fix your azerite and get more sockets it will start simming better

minor thicket
#

so no matter the sim it does not want my 476 plummage

#

475* is that normal

vast forum
#

galecaller/coral is a pretty awkward combo to play

minor thicket
#

ya i wont be using that

vast forum
#

plumage is the most convenient trinket to use, but it doesn't sim the highest for most people

minor thicket
#

right now im using harlans and galecaller

vast forum
#

it's the highest consistent combo

#

if you can't get full use from galecaller, plumage is better

minor thicket
#

i was just so pumped to get plummage and its not simming well

#

i still need the Vita

vast forum
#

you shouldn't only look at sims tho

slim estuary
#

Sims will tell you what the ideal thing is, but life isn’t ideal

minor thicket
#

generally what pairs well with plummage?

vast forum
#

vita

#

you should always wear a mythic vita when you get it

#

even if a some point it sims slightly lower than another trinket, it buffs your entire party

minor thicket
#

ya were running raden again tonight so hopefully i get some luck

#

would dragonscale and plummage work well over galecaller and harlan dice?

vast forum
#

it would be more consistent

slim estuary
#

Is boe ring any good in the absence of anything else? Trying to get a raid spot but I only came back a couple weeks ago. Need a good piece to put a exp3 on

vast forum
#

it's not bad

#

but mechagon ring set is much better

#

so i wouldn't recomment putting exp3 on it

slim estuary
#

I’m just looking to get some haste on the board so I can start doing something

south nest
#

hello everyone, Today i just got the mechagon ring in the weekly chest gs 475 with 439 crit. Should i change the one with the 465 ring

Ring GS 475 with socket and Surging Vitality II corruption and the ring bonus activates when I am under 50%.

Ring GS 465 Strikethrough III Bonus activates when I stand behind the enemy

Unfortunately, at the moment I only get the bonus with the poison. The Haste Bonus is not yet dropped

Unfortunately I don't get smarter with Simcraft either. Can anyone help me? Thank u 😄

vestal granite
#

Whats the pandemic for Rupture + DS again? How many seconds left

shrewd night
#

@south nest Thats why we have tools to figure those things out for us, so we dont have to take a strangers word on the internet.

wet ruin
#

@vestal granite its not a set number, it depends on what cp rupture you are applying, but 30% from that

balmy condor
#

@south nest thats a sim question

fervent jasper
#

How many targets is it when Fok>mut?

balmy condor
#

Depends on eb/DD traits

#

But baseline 3

young vessel
#

anyone with crimson tempest weakaura?

#

duration on target

balmy condor
#

Just make one

young vessel
#

im bad at this shit

#

xd

balmy condor
#

They have templates

#

It basically holds your hand through the whole thing

fervent jasper
#

I have 0 DD

#

3x EB

balmy condor
#

With eb you fok on 2

fervent jasper
#

and how many targets before FoK>Envenom?

#

like where you just dont use finishers

balmy condor
#

Uh

#

I wanna say 7

fervent jasper
#

oh really

#

ive been doing it at like

#

4 lol

balmy condor
#

Wait no

#

6-7 is CT replaces envenom

fervent jasper
#

wait now im even more confused

#

at 6-7 there's no way youre using envenom

#

with EB traits

#

is there a point where CT>FoK with EB?

#

i wouldnt think so I usually just keep the CT DoT up in big AoE and spam FoK but i could be doing it wrong

balmy condor
#

That’s the CT rule the APL uses

#

Idk about just straight fok

#

Usually do it by feel tbh

#

Can’t find anything about it either

south nest
#

Okay, I'm gonna sim it again. What exactly do you sim for myth +. Hectic cleave?

balmy condor
#

@fleet anchor help we’re confused about CT and EB and I’m blind and can’t find documentation on it

#

Dungeon slice usually

#

M+ is difficult to sim for because of the variation from dungeon to dungeon

#

So take it as a guideline, not as gospel

south nest
#

okay Thank u 😄

shy axle
#

any tipps how to maximize dmg on wrathion with the 3dd build? How do you handle the spine phase? I dont like the fight but i want to try to do it as good as possible. Cds only on boss or do you use it on the spines?

viral aurora
#

Multibleed a couple on your way to outer part of platform, find a loner spike and just ST it

haughty hollow
#

@shy axle use vision of perfection so you get vendetta twice before down phase. Try finding a group of spikes to FoK for fast combo points. Put up dots and move on to another target. Or FoK- envenom spam.

young vessel
#

guys u got any tips for mythic nzoth with that build?

#

whats best spot for me and where to burn

balmy condor
#

Pump n’zoth

#

Is basically the tldr of the whole fight

#

There’s not really any 400 IQ plays

young vessel
#

should i just first vendetta the basher in the beginning?

#

and which psychus is better to line up shit

winter gale
#

Bote MINOR in exsang build is ok?

#

I am at 71% haste

#

its suggested over memory

balmy condor
#

You should vendetta n’zoth

#

Bote Minor is fine, but you should be running bote major on 90% of fights

#

So you get the double

#

Dropping memory is fairly normal for high gear levels

#

Usually for formless

winter gale
#

I do not prepare CT for exsanguinate?

#

Like refresh it as garrote/rupture*

strange python
#

you dont play around ct

#

its like the last thing you think about

winter gale
#

Ok

#

Thats how I like it too 😄

fallen bone
#

Is there an alternative to formless? It's uptime was 70-80% on our pulls. Summing at that level was showing a dps decrease so I have been keeping memory.

strange python
#

idk just sim it

vast forum
#

if you're using blood major, breath and lucid minor, last slot is between CNS and formless usually

young vessel
#

is CLF worth it

#

on nzoth?

vast forum
#

it's decent

#

or, well, debatable whether or not it's better than bote

crimson palm
#

if you lack harvester dmg bote is better

#

clf is good for boss dmg

plucky epoch
#

is the bleed build better than standard poison for the most part in raids/single target

vast forum
#

with high-end gear, yes

plucky epoch
#

what about for like around 455 ilv

vast forum
#

probably not

lone junco
#

If you have to ask, they are probably about the same.

vast forum
#

nah, DD build should be strictly better at lower gear levels

lone junco
#

The rotation for exang is still really good. And better if you can ever cleave.

vast forum
#

SS build relies on a lot of endgame items and expedient corruptions

lone junco
#

And 480 is 480. Some times you just don't get lucky from the vendor.

#

Well you can still run exang with vigor if you don't have the huge haste right? Or does it go from -10% to +10%

strange python
#

exsang with low haste feels bad

#

do we delay exsang for bl?

lone junco
#

If the bloodlust is at like t= 0:09 I would.

strange python
#

ok tyvm

lone junco
#

Not for t = 2:30

#

Out lust is always sloppy and late.

#

Exang then lust is not something the sim will ever do. But it's def not good.

#

The vendetta is used. The SS is ticking. You can hold trinket exang bote for a few seconds.

#

On shad I still have to yell LUST LUST LUST. eventually we get one.

#

And we have 3 shamans and a mage.

mortal trail
#

dose anybody knows how to add items on top gear

balmy condor
#

I steal the code from gear compare

spark olive
#

Is there a min num of mastery we should keep, I am trying to sim 475 legs basically equal crit/haste same haste as the 470 w/mastery i have but show as a decent loss even with the same expedient on them.

balmy condor
#

No breakpoints

#

Just keep simming

#

If it sims higher, pog

strange python
#

what about crit tho

balmy condor
#

34% or you’re dead to me haste

#

(That’s a meme, don’t do that)

strange python
balmy condor
#

34.6

#

Benched

ebon heath
#

Im at 68%haste and PB + TB still beats CT + Exanguinate

balmy condor
#

Exsang depends a lot of azerite too

ebon heath
#

It's maybe because my only SS is on 465 ilvl piece

balmy condor
#

Yeah without SS traits exsang isn’t gonna beat a poison setup

ebon heath
#

Yeah but the weird thing here is that uses deeper stratagem instead of Vigor

#

Big envenoms

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Makes sense

#

You’re still stacking exped

#

Vigor/DS doesn’t have anything directly to do with TB or exsang

tropic ocean
#

vigor is just overkill

#

with high haste due to capping

balmy condor
#

Yeah

tropic ocean
#

and 5% dmg +extra combopoint on finishers is

#

noice

balmy condor
#

Vigor/DS is just haste question

#

Doesnt matter the built

floral shoal
#

On shad I still have to yell LUST LUST LUST. eventually we get one.
@lone junco macro drums to trinket and tell them it's gonna be 25% if they are late

slate shore
#

hello , i just loot my razor coral , but when in my rota i need to use it?

fleet anchor
#

I mean there is a point where FoK is better than Envenom but CT seems like it would be hard to beat since they both scale with the number of targets

tropic ocean
#

use asap

#

use again with vendetta

#

repeat

#

ct is better than fok

#

it has indefinete scaling

#

while fok is capped

balmy condor
#

So fok -> CT spam?

tropic ocean
#

no

balmy condor
#

I thought the insta damage from CT sucks

tropic ocean
#

but at 15+targets

balmy condor
#

Just uptime

tropic ocean
#

u get heavy dr

#

ct doesnt suffer from it

fleet anchor
#

At high target counts FoK->CT spam is actually kinda absurd damage

tropic ocean
#

cuz each target gets individual dot

fleet anchor
#

CT instant damage isn't actually that low

#

At 6CP

tropic ocean
#

I logged it some time ago in shrine

#

where iris major difference

#

15-20 targets

#

was <100k total dmg

#

due to target capt

#

15->20targets

balmy condor
#

Are there any target numbers I can tell people

fleet anchor
#

But I dunno, just do whatever lol

balmy condor
#

Or is it just fok->ct and live your life

#

Yeah okay sounds good

fleet anchor
#

I'm lucky if I ever see that many targets 😄

#

We pulled everything in Temple the other day and even one cast of CT was such an absurd about of damage it was actually hilarious, wasn't running EB at the time though

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

its after 10 targets where it starts dring

#

iirc

#

but u can test it very fast by just entering sots with logs

#

and beam into first group

balmy condor
#

So to be clear, fok->ct not fok fok fok

tropic ocean
#

and then in 2nd group

ebon heath
#

Do you guys apply rupture on targets or just spam CT?

tropic ocean
#

without eb

#

ct on hit dmg

balmy condor
#

3 bleeds

tropic ocean
#

is higher than fok

#

already

balmy condor
#

For energy

#

Yeah but with 3x eb it isn’t

tropic ocean
#

yeah

quartz ember
#

at what duration should i refresh CT?

balmy condor
#

In pandemic for ST

next solar
balmy condor
#

Seems fine

next solar
#

how different of a playstyle is it compared to the MA DD crit build

tropic ocean
#

not much

#

u press different buttons with vanish

#

thats it

balmy condor
#

It’s just better :)

next solar
#

will need to sim weights too, im sure my stats aren't ideal

balmy condor
#

Don’t sim stat weights

#

It’s the most useless information

next solar
#

oh really? so just highest ilvl with socket essentially? maybe besides verse

sick oyster
#

Well if you go for certain setups you know what you are aiming for but for sims weights change with ever piece / gem / etc you use

balmy condor
#

Top gear sim it

#

Yeah

#

Stat weights change and swing wildly

next solar
#

true

balmy condor
#

If you try and follow stat weights

#

You’ll re-gem everything

#

Sim it again

#

And it’ll tell you to change everything again

#

It’s just not useful information

next solar
#

true

thorn crater
#

so i was just in a call with my RL and he was asking me why im only spiking every 3 minutes with the exsa build

#

isntead of every 2-2and a half

#

and i honestly didnt ahve an answer

#

am i doing something wrong?

#

like, on TB build the spike happens every 2 minutes that much i do know and have managed

#

but should i get more clean with rotations and how i manage exsanguinate?

balmy condor
#

do you have logs

thorn crater
#

any input would be helpful

#

gimme a sec

humble tiger
balmy condor
#

I wouldn't put expeds on any of that

#

you're going to replace every single one of those pieces

humble tiger
#

alright, so better to save up all my echos for when i get some hc/mythic+ loot

balmy condor
#

yeah

humble tiger
#

👍 thanks my friend

balmy condor
#

gotta catch up on the cloak and the gear in general

#

don't invest in this stuff
