balmy condor
#

vita dunks on dragonscale

#

dragonscale isn't that good

strange python
#

i mean it is 70% of the time activated or not

#

and 500 haste is something

balmy condor
#

yeah but we don't care about that

#

exsang is all about the burst

strange python
#

xD

#

true

#

amen

frozen lodge
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
devout fiber
#

What are these^

balmy condor
#

weakauras

#

UI

normal olive
#

These are Weak Auras

strange python
#

looks like juicers

normal olive
#

I can show you Strong Auras

strange python
#

XD

#

thats a strong aura

#

the fourth looks nice

balmy condor
#

oh my god

strange python
#

hahahha

balmy condor
#

normal olive
#

balmy condor
#

that's fucking 90% of your screen

#

holy

strange python
#

i can see everything

balmy condor
#

I sure hope you can

strange python
#

XD

balmy condor
#

UI scale 3.8

#

my god

strange python
#

is there a must have wa for m+? just like the raid one?

normal olive
#

must have wa for raid? what

balmy condor
#

there's a couple good ones

#

but nothing mega required

strange python
#

aight ty

devout fiber
#

@balmy condor you sure i should be doing the campaing still?

#

I'm finding these quests extremely easy

balmy condor
#

I mean, if you're wanting to be optimal, you would m+ spam forever and do raids

#

but that is the main story line

#

and we're at the end of the expansion

dim ingot
#

casually playing my rogue alt 12/12 H 3/12 m nothing serious. Is it worth working toward 3xshroud build? I am only now learning sin 3xdose, played outlaw exclusively in ep

balmy condor
#

if you don't have the exped just play poison

#

poison will be fine

dim ingot
#

kk , i dont. Whats the haste breakpoint you aim for to switch?

balmy condor
#

I usually tell people 30% if you have equal quality azerite

#

but you should take that with a huge grain of salt

balmy condor
#

a sim you say

dim ingot
#

lol

balmy condor
#

1 container of exped?

devout fiber
#

@balmy condor Right but what about other quest lines. I've been doing horrifics when I can

dim ingot
#

i have one in my bags yeah

devout fiber
#

Nazjatar stopped after portal

#

Still going on with heart of azeroth

balmy condor
#

nazjatar should have a fair bit of questing

devout fiber
#

I stopped after the portal

#

Would it be wise to finish it or not worth it?

balmy condor
#

do you care about finishing all the story before the end of expac

#

what are you trying to do

devout fiber
#

Gear

#

PvP

#

My two main focuses

balmy condor
#

then spam m+ or pvp

devout fiber
#

And Azerite

balmy condor
#

azerite you'll need to raid if you want to get azerite fast

devout fiber
#

Right, but I'm not sure if I even have the gear to M+ or PvP yet

#

One of my daggers is still ilvl 370 xD

balmy condor
#

then do heroic dungeons

devout fiber
#

Heroic dungeons it is

strange python
#

when you kill the pillar at the boss it does give % ?

balmy condor
#

yes

strange python
#

but not the regular 2,5% or ?

balmy condor
#

no it gives the full %

strange python
#

ok nice

celest badge
#

read the guide but didnt see anything on this:

Is there a minimum % of each stat i should aim for? like dont drop below 20% mastery for example?

balmy condor
#

nope

#

just whatever sims better for you

#

we don't have any breakpoints

celest badge
#

using ask mr robot and raidbot and they both sim differently hah

drifting cloud
#

dont use mr. robot, its been obsolete since wod

balmy condor
#

amr is dogshit

celest badge
#

yea tbh i've been favouring raidbot anyway

#

thanks for letting me know though hah

balmy condor
#

np

green basalt
celest badge
#

damn too many variations to sim 😦

green basalt
#

Assa aoe

celest badge
#

hah yea thats a wholllllle different set of gear

low girder
#

been building out that set

#

i have zero gloves with crit

#

unlucky

celest badge
#

sim's seem to be encouraging crit and mastery over haste

balmy condor
#

for what

celest badge
#

single target

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

poison build

celest badge
#

put gear as it says and trying a re-sim with other stuff

vital haven
#

azerite pool trait Toxic

celest badge
#

?

balmy condor
#

your chest

celest badge
#

yea what about it?

balmy condor
#

that second trait

#

really tragic

celest badge
#

as in, its bad?

balmy condor
#

yes

celest badge
#

ahh ^^

#

azerites arent my best point, but dont have any other chest :/

#

guess i'll be spending some residuun on that this week 😛

balmy condor
#

Ye happens

#

Need some corruptions too

celest badge
#

working on that 😛

balmy condor
#

Just get ready for them to disappear in ~2 months

steel ridge
#

Are they really going to be cleansed entirely? That confirmed?

balmy condor
#

Yes

steel ridge
#

What a bummer

balmy condor
#

N’zoth dead

#

So no corruption of n’zoth

#

Therefore all corruption gone

steel ridge
#

was hoping for some legacy time walking gear maybe

balmy condor
#

Just chuck on legion legendaries

steel ridge
#

Dont have any

balmy condor
#

Unlucky

#

It’ll still be a stomp though dw

steel ridge
#

Lame tho

#

wanna keep all that haste for giggles

balmy condor
#

Such is borrowed power

steel ridge
#

But the HoA will stay for old content

balmy condor
#

Yeah cause Azeroth is alive

#

And n’zoth isn’t

#

Blizz very smart

steel ridge
#

blizz super smart

#

except when devving rogues

balmy condor
#

Well

#

We don’t know if they’re smart about devving

#

Because they would need to dev for us to judge that

strange python
#

The rogue dev being on vacation meme is actually depressing me. Not one single time in all of WoW’s existence has delayed development for a specific class turned out good for that class

balmy condor
#

Procrastination in general actually

wary seal
#

guy, what is the significance of wearing certain weapons in main hand and certain in offhand ? And how do you choose what to mear in which hand

balmy condor
#

Mainhand -> ilvl
Offhand -> stats

#

Mainhand weapon damage is big

#

Offhand weapon damage is not big

wary seal
#

noted, thanks alot

balmy condor
#

No problemo

wary seal
#

Also which one is better for raids with the expedient build, Potion of Unbridled Fury or Potion of Focused Resolve?

steel ridge
#

Depends on boss. Pure ST its the focused resolve

main warren
#

Resolve if you don't switch targets, fury if there's adds.

#

and you can go between them based on fight timers too.

#

Like if adds don't show up till later or there's a burn phase with no adds etc

wary seal
#

ooh, alright thanks

fossil vault
#

Hey guys - quick question, (returning player) it seems like I should aim for getting expedient for raiding or severe and Strikethrough for M+. If I wanted to just pick one of those options for both activities - what would you guys go for?

tropic ocean
#

u can use severe strikethrough for both

#

but you can also play raid build in both

#

so I'd recommend to buy the expedients

#

as expedient is stronger in raid than str/crit is

vast forum
#

expedient if you wanna go for a single build 100%

crimson palm
#

Full gushing ez

slow helm
#

why is DD and NP simming higher with my expedient SS build? o.O

umbral rapids
#

On Nzoth you vendetta on pull then on nzoth ? 🤔

slow helm
#

i ran a droptimizer on mythic ny'alotha and every DD and NP azerite piece simmed higher

vast forum
#

depends on your gear

slow helm
#

66% haste

vast forum
#

it's not just about haste % tho

#

what azerite do you currently have?

slow helm
#

35% crit 36% mastery 5.5% vers

#

im running 3x ss 2x hod and 1x blightborne

vast forum
#

what ilvls?

umbral rapids
#

Too much crit D:

slow helm
#

is it the blightborne doing it?

umbral rapids
#

BBI is good

slow helm
#

465 480 475

umbral rapids
#

Yeah it’s just ilvl then

vast forum
#

well if you're comparing it to mythic nyalotha, ofc 15 ilvl comes out on top

umbral rapids
#

480 helm and 490 chest

slow helm
#

but its not just head shoulders with NP and HoD is dps increase compared to SS and blightborne

#

even tho its 480 shoulders vs 475 ilganoth shoulders

vast forum
#

it's 480 vs 480 tho, it counts the 5 ilvl trait at the end

slow helm
#

but still shouldnt blightborne SS win still with a high haste build?

vast forum
#

they're close

umbral rapids
#

Yes but what combinations did it use

slow helm
#

NP and HoD

onyx crane
#

what is max resistance this week?

#

for cloak

slow helm
#

i think i found the mistake i had vision major from a test in pvp lmao

zinc zephyr
#

@onyx crane 104 i think

onyx crane
#

darnit then I have been slacking

blissful storm
#

how does it look like with Galecaller's Boon when do we want to hold it? What am I asking is how much exsang cd is enough to hold our boon and pop it right before exsang?

vast forum
#

generally

#

use with first exsang

#

then use on CD

#

then delay to line up with 2nd cds (vend/vanish/exsang)

blissful storm
#

so second exsang doesnt have to be lined up?

vast forum
#

some minor tweaks can be done on specific fight times but that's the general use

blissful storm
#

ok, thanks

onyx crane
#

boon has 2 min cd, do we use vision minor?

normal olive
#

Gcb?

#

it has 1 minute cd

onyx crane
#

hmm ah yes that is true

arctic walrus
#

And no, don’t use vision

onyx crane
#

why not 😮

arctic walrus
#

Because I said so?

#

No because it’s bad

#

It desyncs vanish from your main cds

#

Every other gale will be used within your cds, simply use it on cd during the downtime

small thicket
#

when i sim with crimson tempest it doesnt appear on the abilities for patch, do i have to change something or chanmge the sim typ[e

#

abilities or dmg*

arctic walrus
#

Link it

onyx crane
#

so what minors do we use

#

(ok that was a weird sentence)

normal olive
#

@small thicket do you have a ttk trait? if yes then envenom will be cast instead of CT in ST

onyx crane
#

cuz I like vendetta being off cd with my BotE

arctic walrus
#

Assuming all rank 3 and correct build, formless/c&s, iris, breath

#

Otherwise just sim what you have if it’s different

normal olive
#

Yeah i get breath, iris and bote for my sims

small thicket
#

Okay, let me check, im helping a buddy thats all, not my main

arctic walrus
#

Bote minor if you have clf major yes

small thicket
#

yea he does haf 2 x ttk

#

have

#

i just tested on my rogue without ttk and it simmed the ct

#

whats the azerite trait stack for the exp / exang build

#

well, the ideal stack i mean

normal olive
#

3x SS, 2x HoD, 1x BBI i believe it was

small thicket
#

Sweet

#

Tthanks for the advice guys

#

My paladin brain did not know the answers 😄

little fractal
balmy condor
#

I’ve heard of It happening but it’s never happened to me so idk

normal olive
#

Every time i play outlaw it happens to me

#

doesn't help the fact that i don't like it when it works

fathom swift
#

I play at like 200 spell queue but its personal preference

#

Lowering def reduces chance of doublecasting

little fractal
#

so you enter like /console SpellQueueWindow 200 ?

main blaze
#

Im at 300

#

Yeah thats the command

little fractal
#

im gonna test it a bit, because its related to your ingame ping right?

fathom swift
#

Kinda not exactly

main blaze
#

Yeah

#

You want it higher than your in game latency

fathom swift
#

Ya just default of 400 is gonna be too high unless you play on like 200 ping

little fractal
#

Changed it to 200, it feels alot more snappy

onyx crane
#

what is best window to use bote?

balmy condor
#

After exsang

little fractal
#

Bote?

normal olive
#

Blood of the enemy

little fractal
#

ahh yeah

#

im running deep stratagem, and sometimes if im unlucky i get 5 combo points instead of 6, i usually just do another mutilate to get full combo points, it feels like im wasting combo points, but its the right thing to do?

#

before the exanguniate on opener i mean

#

Garrote > Rupture > Garrote > Vendetta+Trink macro > Mutilate > Mutilate (IF needed for full combo points) > Rupture > Exanguinate > BoTE

onyx crane
#

it's still hard for me to incorporate tempest in rotation

little fractal
#

How so?

onyx crane
#

idk it feel cumbersome

normal olive
#

I'm not allowed to talk about openers sry

little fractal
#

haha why navi

onyx crane
#

he uses dresta

normal olive
little fractal
#

LOL

#

i use galecallers boon on fights that i can stand still on and lusturous plume on fights with movement, like drest mythic

main blaze
#

If you are always trying to fit tempest into exsang thats the wrong thing to do. Just worry about full garrotes / rupture for exsang and just keep CT up on the target and not worry about the length

balmy condor
#

@little fractal That 5cp in the opener is when you would CT

#

But hitting mutilate again for 6 is perfectly fine

little fractal
#

whatt abbrevation is CT for?

onyx crane
#

the opener is the hardest part

balmy condor
#

Crimson tempest

little fractal
#

ahh

balmy condor
#

The opener is just muscle memory

little fractal
#

i usually dont use tempest in my exanguiate

balmy condor
#

It’s not that bad

onyx crane
#

I don't go over 200k on dummy

balmy condor
#

Yeah there’s an opener variation where you hit 5cp after the mutilate, CT, mutilate again till 6, and then you fire off the rupture exsang

onyx crane
#

so you do opener, then you can do another exsang then wait vanish to go off cd and go all cds again or is that wrong

#

and ofc keep shut up and do envenom ct stuff in between

balmy condor
#

No

#

You opener, exsang, exsang, then cd’s

#

2 exsangs between, not 1

bleak spoke
#

You should never muti at 5

#

Regardless of whether you’re playing ct

#

You just take the loss on the rupture cuz of the gain in global time I think

balmy condor
#

No, in your cooldowns you definitely should

bleak spoke
#

What

#

Throw a knife then

#

Less energy

#

Same effect

balmy condor
#

Yeah like energy is problem right

#

We’re gcd locked anyway with all the exped we stack

#

So we mutilate over throw knife

#

More damage

#

Same effect

#

:)

#

You only mutilate so you can do a 6cp rup into an exsang anyway

bleak spoke
#

I guess

balmy condor
#

So you’ll be hard pressed to be starving on energy once you hit exsang

bleak spoke
#

Idk tbh just crit

balmy condor
#

That’s huge brain

#

Or don’t crit

#

Then you would be at 4, not 5

bleak spoke
#

What

balmy condor
#

And you would be able to mut again

bleak spoke
#

You start at 3

#

You mean

#

Get parried

balmy condor
#

I’m talking after the CT

bleak spoke
#

Oh I mean after garrote

#

And v global

balmy condor
#

Yeah after the garrote you either hit 5 and CT or you hit 6 and rupture

bleak spoke
#

Yeah of course

#

But I mean like if you don’t play ct

balmy condor
#

And if the CT variation is too big brain you would mut rup

#

Yeah if you play PB minimum is 5

bleak spoke
#

Also it’s the case that like if you miss the fast exsang nowadays lots of fights aren’t long enough

#

Which feels bad

#

Any 2:21 kills on reclear 😱

balmy condor
#

Just play vop minor for anything under 2:30 imo

bleak spoke
#

And save vanish for second v?

balmy condor
#

Ye

bleak spoke
#

Very vomit

balmy condor
#

Nah it’s pretty cool

bleak spoke
#

If I don’t spike out my fire mages on pull in st what do I have to live for

balmy condor
#

There’s still a good chance you spike them out on pull

bleak spoke
#

Doubt

#

It usually happens 4 seconds after vanish

balmy condor
#

Blood minor to VoP minor isn’t magically going to lower your opener spike by 20k

bleak spoke
#

When they think they’re ramping but actually I’m ramping

balmy condor
onyx crane
#

I still don't get it...

bleak spoke
#

Uh read the opener guide

#

If you don’t get it

#

Raz wrote it

#

It’s gud

balmy condor
#

Yeah there’s visuals in raz’s guide

onyx crane
#

I don't have gladiotors trinket tho

balmy condor
#

That’s fine

#

You can use basically every on-use trinket in place of that

#

Except font, you would precast that

#

But don’t use font

#

Not anymore

onyx crane
#

what about boon?

balmy condor
#

You can use that in the same place

#

I have mine bound to vendetta and I just cast again when it comes off cd

onyx crane
#

I liked the traditional rotation a lot better

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s fine

#

It’s not too big of a loss

onyx crane
#

and I still can't keep CT up I have to actively remind myself of it's existence

balmy condor
#

That’s what weakauras are for jospeh_smile

onyx crane
#

they are for the weak!

#

I want to play wow not a glorfied game of simon says

balmy condor
#

...how do you think weakauras work?

onyx crane
#

depends which one you use

balmy condor
#

Does it?

strange python
#

weakauras for dot timers are nice

balmy condor
#

Weakauras just give you information on bleeds and stuff

#

It’s not a rotation helper

#

It’s a UI thing

harsh anchor
#

It’s literally a method of seeing your CDs and timers. Or whatever custom thing you want to see. Much more useful than staring at nameplates and your action bars.

balmy condor
#

If I give my weakauras to someone, they don’t magically know how to play rogue

#

It’s not a bop-it

lapis vector
#

whats the opener if im running, Bote as major, PB and TB?

onyx crane
#

I'm getting the hang of it manage to be around 90 ish dps on dummy

balmy condor
#

You would TB into Bote @lapis vector, assuming you’re still running subt

normal olive
#

Who needs weakauras anyway i'm not weak like everybody else

onyx crane
#

my aura is too strong, it overshadows weakauras

#

next thing we know we are using dullshakras

lapis vector
#

so the normal; garrote > rupture > garrote > vendeta > TB > Bote > mutilte > mutile > envenom

onyx crane
#

tb?

normal olive
#

toxic blade

lapis vector
#

toxic blade

balmy condor
#

Yeah

onyx crane
#

ah the crit build is it not?

balmy condor
#

That seems correct

onyx crane
#

I think it's crit

balmy condor
#

But remember you only gar-rup-gar if you have a SS trait

#

It’s the poison build

#

Not necessarily crit

lapis vector
#

its the "not so good gear yet" build

onyx crane
#

heh

#

I have onl 478 ilvl exuip and 55% haste

balmy condor
#

Well you can still run poison and do fine with good gear as well

onyx crane
#

idk if that counts as good these days

balmy condor
#

It’s perfectly viable

#

It’s a little undergeared

#

The ilvl is whatever

lapis vector
#

im 469 so a bit lower

onyx crane
#

well I have some crit corruptions instead of full haste

balmy condor
#

ILvL still doesn’t mean much honestly

onyx crane
#

cuz I was poison first

balmy condor
#

But 55% haste is low

lapis vector
#

i got like 36% thats really low then

onyx crane
#

which is odd

#

cuz I have haste on all my gear

#

save for wrath dagger

balmy condor
#

Sockets help a ton

lapis vector
#

yeah i only got 1 socket atm

balmy condor
#

But people are sitting in town with 80% haste and the sims are starting to tell them to go vers and mastery sockets

#

So 55% is a little behind

onyx crane
#

what amount of crit

#

is viable for bleed build

balmy condor
#

I think if you’re full heroic geared and have sockets, 70% haste is fine

#

Any amount of crit is viable

onyx crane
#

so I should swap my crit gems for haste?

balmy condor
#

People are usually between 30-38ish

onyx crane
#

that's what I am now

#

38

normal olive
#

34%

onyx crane
#

yeah yea

balmy condor
#

But you can sim gem combinations if you’d like

#

Haste probably going to be better

onyx crane
#

34% crit 55% haste 37% mast and 1% versi

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s all fine

#

We don’t have breakpoints

#

So you could’ve said 27% crit 63% haste 35% mast 3% vers

#

Or any other slightly different set of numbers

#

And my eyes would glaze over

#

And I would say yeah bud that’s great

onyx crane
#

but this is at better than hc gear... and below 40 currupt

mystic osprey
#

Sitting at 79%. Mastery is tops now.

onyx crane
#

how high is your curroption capi

lapis vector
#

this is my current dude

mystic osprey
#
  1. Or 56. Below 60
balmy condor
#

Vop minor

#

Oh no honey no

lapis vector
#

which should i use insteed?

balmy condor
#

You imported from addon it’s fine

#

I fix

#

Brb

sullen pagoda
#

wasting expedient on non mechagon ring

lapis vector
#

hahaha only been playing for the last 1,5 month. last time i played was back in draenor so didnt know shit.

#

my buddies told me to use it on a high ilvl piece

sullen pagoda
#

if u want to get the most out of rings get mechagon rings

lapis vector
#

yeah a saw that yesterday, the combo with gives u haste when i attack from behind, right?

sullen pagoda
#

yea

lapis vector
#

the problem is getting into high keys for that. just found out about rio score and mine is preatty bad

balmy condor
#

You can do 15’s with your guild/friends np

#

They aren’t very hard anymore with all the corruption we have

#

Could even do 14’s, they drop 465’s as well

lapis vector
#

okey will look inte that

balmy condor
#

Imagine sending a quick sim

#

Just to piss me off

onyx crane
#

didn't know it would

#

henceforth I shall spam

balmy condor
#

Lmao

#

Yeah looks good

#

Missing some expeds

#

But nothing really to complain about

onyx crane
#

should i swap the xrit ones out with haste ones or just go over 40 corruption

#

maybeI could clean the leg one

#

idk how great that one is

balmy condor
#

That’s just gems/chants/essences

#

I didn’t bother doing gear

onyx crane
#

but lvl 3 racing pulse vs lvl 3 exped

lapis vector
#

so if im running exsanguinate, should i let the exsang bleeds run out or reapply bleeds for pandemic thing?

balmy condor
#

Let it run out

#

Pandemic is only duration

#

You’d lose the damage and the tick rate

#

Not good

lapis vector
#

kk thank u alot

balmy condor
#

I did that with 4 containers and all expeds

young portal
#

What is meant by exsang snaps haste?

balmy condor
#

It means once you hit exsang, the tick rate of those dots is constant

#

Snapshotting is an old concept mostly gone now except for exsang

#

Where you hit a button and the dots look at your haste and then don’t adjust actively

#

They instead stick with that haste level until they expire

#

Feral druid had snapshotting for the longest time

#

Was one of the reasons why it was so hard to play

young portal
#

That makes sense, thanks for clearing that up mate

balmy condor
#

Np

onyx crane
#

so ehm CLF sims higher but is a bit more screwy when it comes to cds

#

or do I ahve to press it as a trinke after opening garotte

balmy condor
#

You press it before vendetta

#

And then the next one you line up with whatever you can cooldown wise

#

Depending on kill times

onyx crane
#

but if I use boon in my opener i go for the short opener to optimize the 10 sec duration of it?

balmy condor
#

What?

#

Trinket usage has no effect on opener

tropic ocean
#

U press boon before exsanf

#

Exsang thats all

balmy condor
#

Still doesn’t affect opener :)

onyx crane
#

well the long opener has exs on 9.5 if you are a tad slow on reaction you might miss boon's effect

balmy condor
#

Yeah but you’re probably macroing it to vendetta or casting right before exsang

#

And vendetta is on 4

#

So idk quite what the issue is

It's the wrong opener that's the problem

what m+ dungeons do you run with raidspec? everything on tyrannical / nothing on fortified? or just a couple on tyrannical?

I go assassination on almost same build as raid, it does 100k+

even on fortified

balmy condor

Yeah i just do my normal build idk

grave bison

when you pug, you don't get huge pulls, that's why i think it's a good option

balmy condor

yeah I mean if you're pugging really anything works

warm olive

ok, thanks

balmy condor

I wouldn't pug a tank for anything higher than like a 22 though

even a 20 probably

boon linked to vendetta hmm........

balmy condor

what about it

not a horrible idea, but also you need to cast it between vendettas

balmy condor

I have it bound that way just because I can hit the same key again for gale later

@warm olive ws/kr/jy/tos/td (start TD with aoe build then run out and swap)

warm olive
#

Is running out viable? Best would be to run out before 1st Boss?, but that sounds like a Time loss

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

That’s fine

vast forum
#

running 3x EB and crit build and pulling the entire beach at the same time

#

is extremely efficient time-wise

#

then you just run out, quickly swap gear and talents and quickly run back in

onyx crane
#

CLF seems less bursty than blood

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

It may SEEM that way

#

But it’s definitely more damage by the end of the opener

#

CLF on really short fights pumps mega hard

onyx crane
#

kinda figuring out how to use boon's cd

balmy condor
#

Before exsang every 2 minutes

#

On cd in between

onyx crane
#

exang is of cd only 15 sec of cd before is it worth alligning them?

umbral rapids

its mainly the disconnects i think that makes sub suboptimal on prog.

balmy condor

the disconnects?

running out to deal with mechanics. disconnecting from the boss

if serrated stays the same then sub doesn't suffer as much from lower boss uptime

balmy condor
#

sub disconnects were only really ever a problem cause DFA

lone junco
#

@balmy condor wasn't sub problems for bfa just a tuning issue?

#

I mean they could have increased the bonus from mastery.

balmy condor
#

wdym

#

I think subs problem is a little more nuanced than just give more damage

#

cause if you tinker with something like mastery, they can kinda scale out of control like we saw with zul

#

5% mastery buff for finishers and then you toss on the 12% from nightstalker and the 30% from dark and the 5% from deeper strat and symbols

#

and you just get a multiplying monster

#

especially if they're allowed to funnel dps like on zul

#

eviscerate damage isn't what sub needs

strange python
#

its from Voodoo

#

you can also change the poison

balmy condor
#

that just looks like any WA that tells you when your poisons dropped

whats this do

Why? It just flashes, glows, or pops up on your screen when it expires. If that timer addon for poisons is constantly up, that’s taking up some unnecessary screen real estate

Any tips on when to CD on mythic carapace?

do i rupture adds in m+ in an aoe pull?

Yes

edgy ginkgo

how many?

strange python
#

You don't get energy regen from CT

#

Eh just like 1-2

edgy ginkgo
#

ok ty

#

if i have CT up and 2 ruptures i go with envenom?

#

or only echoing baldes?

strange python
#

@balmy condor answer this man

edgy ginkgo
#

or only echoing baldes?
@edgy ginkgo i mean fan of knives of course^^

balmy condor
#

You only rupture until you get energy back enough to spam

edgy ginkgo
#

ok

balmy condor
#

usually thats 1-2 ruptures

#
  • the garrotes
edgy ginkgo
#

ok

balmy condor
#

so maintain your 4-5 bleeds for energy, maintain CT, then dump CP with envenom

#

however if you're in aoe and are EB/crit stacking

#

you would only finish for EP

edgy ginkgo
#

du i use vanish for getting in stealth if the tank pulls in chain?

balmy condor
#

so you would fok 3-4 times and then finish to refresh ep

#

yes

#

vanish for chain pulls is solid usage

edgy ginkgo
#

okay

There's nothing you really need elusiveness for this tier

quasi pewter

use elusiveness for nzoth prog

rancid bobcat
#

What damage needs elusiveness to be reduced

crimson palm
#

Probe Mind for starters

#

Anguish spreads when you get clipped

vast forum
#

sounds very unnecessary

crimson palm
#

Maybe for someone that killed the boss 15 times

#

Those 2 mechanics are the ones that kill you on progress

#

And there isn't a mechanic that can kill you with cd, usually the whole raid is dead at that point

#

Leeching is also decent, I played it during our progress it helps with healing

vast forum
#

i just feel like feinting the clip from someone on anguish is unnecessary when you can just avoid getting clipped blobshrug

#

and at least from my experience, probe mind is not an issue when progging nowadays

rancid bobcat
#

anguish on prog is one of those make it or break it mechanics it feels like

#

you either fuck it up into a wipe or you have it solved

#

but idk

crimson palm
#

Any dmg you avoid is gonna make it worth considering cd is a dead talent

#

Unless you run faster to bashers than the tank doeskekchamp

rancid bobcat
#

does anguish splash need elusiveness to be reduced anyway

crimson palm
#

Yes

rancid bobcat
#

aight

crimson palm
#

It also reduces the accidental walk in dmg

rancid bobcat
#

i guess it helps for the dot too idk

umbral rapids
#

On NZoth you vendetta on pull then on Nzoth ? 🤔

crimson palm
#

It depends on what you are assigned to do

umbral rapids
#

well not me

#

Rogue in this guild doesn’t go to psychus

#

So I assume use it on a tentacle on pull then on the 1st burn phase

quasi pewter
#

all of anguish needs elusiveness unless you stand in the pool lol

umbral rapids
#

Since it pretty much lines up

crimson palm
#

Anguish impact dmg is feintable tho?

quasi pewter
#

no

#

feint pmuch doesnt work on nzoth without elusiveness

crimson palm
#

Don't tell me I've been placebo feinting it

quasi pewter

you have

crimson palm

It does work on torment

That I'm pretty sure

quasi pewter

whats torment

crimson palm

The p1 cast

umbral rapids

The pulse thing around the boss I believe ?

@crimson palm i checked real quick, normal feint does work on eternal torment, anguish apply/ticks are unaffected by it though, so you can stop feinting there if you are running cd

anyone know why rogues on wow logs run condensed life force on mythic maut?

#

over blood of the enemy

balmy condor

CLF is really good

#

strong burst

#

short fight + strong burst = good damage

void sinew
#

blood has to have better burst then CLF though no?

balmy condor
#

not at all

void sinew
#

oh all the top fights are like less than 2 mins

balmy condor
#

It'll even sim higher for 5 minutes under 90% of circumstances

void sinew
#

so yeah that would be why, but blood would be better if guild isnt cracked out

balmy condor
#

blood is only better single target between like 2:40 and 3

void sinew
#

hmm neat

uncut schooner
#

Grinding that next.

#

But I have bote now at least.

void sinew
#

what level of haste would you need to run symbiotic presence over lucid dreams?

#

%*

uncut schooner
#

I don't think you'd ever want to get rid of lucid dreams would you?

#

Surely iris would be the first to go.

#

Saying that I suppose 430 haste vs 460 vers.

void sinew
#

I think you gain so much haste at a point where lucid becomes irrelevant

#

in pve at least

balmy condor
#

you'd need roughly 60%

#

to drop lucid

#

need more

#

need less

#

idk

#

depends on sockets too

oblique lark
#

bote better than clf for:
1:50 with vop
2:00 with holding CDs for gcb/ch traits
2:40 with default setup

uncut schooner
#

So basically CLF just better.

#

At least in mythic progression where fights generally go over 3m.

#

Time to enjoy another 3 week grind

#

balmy condor
#

yeah what smoker said

uncut schooner
#

Sums up BFA for me at this point.

"Go grind this to make that easier. Done? Okay now go grind this other thing to make it easier. Done? Okay now-."

#

Me: Does this ever end.

#

Answer: No.

void sinew
#

yeah so isnt clf just better for prog where fights go 5mins+

uncut schooner
#

Yeah p. much

#

Based on what Smoker is saying.

balmy condor
#

depends yeah

uncut schooner
#

Unless its a fight like hivemind I guess.

balmy condor
#

but yeah

#

its generally very good

oblique lark
#

~5 min bote better anyway 🙂

uncut schooner
#

I can imagine bote just being better for hivemind.

balmy condor
#

I think it actually depends

#

the bote damage isn't incredible

#

its definitely good though

uncut schooner
#

I mean, the selling point for bote still confuses me.

#

What is it that makes crit so desirable for us as assa.

#

Because we're clearly not using it for the raw damage.

#

Because then presumably breath is just better.

balmy condor
#

25% crit damage during exsang

uncut schooner
#

Does the 25% crit damage affect bleeds or something?

balmy condor
#

breath is good, but with haste you get GCD capped

#

it affects everything

#

crit chance itself is also very good

void sinew
#

isnt the extra crit super nice to get 3 combo points per mut

#

rather than 2

oblique lark
#

i used clf only in 2 cases: fight less than 1:30 or 3:30-3:40, and even in these cases, it's better to take formless void

void sinew
#

gotcha sweet thanks

uncut schooner
#

Actually that's a good question.

#

When is it really appropriate to use formless void in raid.

#

And what slot does it usually take.

#

Assuming obviously you have enough haste.

oblique lark
#

always, major 🙂

#

but 1 problem, after wipe, need w8 cd void))

uncut schooner
#

Hm, I've seen people run it minor.

#

Or is that just a mistake.

rancid bobcat
#

Exsang build concentrates a lot of its damage into the Garrote burst so anything you can do to buff that damage is better

oblique lark
#

void in major its min/max dps

rancid bobcat
#

Like how fire revolves around combust

#

They use font+badge to get really big burst

#

Instead of something like psyche shredder

balmy condor
#

formless minor is good

rancid bobcat
#

So blood buffs Garrote damage

#

Hence blood good

uncut schooner
#

Gotcha.

#

Will need to test it now I can run it over breath major.

I feel like our damage is just about enough for ra'den, the orb phases are where we're struggling as we're usually dropping 2-3 dps by the third orb phase so we can't get ra'den down quick enough into his second phase

on the topic of essences CLF major sims higher for me but I find it akward for our fight lengths. we're still progging so fights are around 5 mins or less. how am I supposed to use 2nd CLF? if I save CDs for it I feel like they're on cooldown for too long and I could probably use another Vend/Vanish set for a 5min fight but using CLF alone feels hella akward. any suggestions? simming for 5 mins btw not 3 and still sims higher

balmy condor
#

line it up with whatever you can as long as you don't miss casts

uncut schooner
#

Can kind of understand where the concerns are for rogue on SL atm though.

grim trellis
#

yeah that's what I was thinking. I miss an entire set of CDs if I save them up so probably not worth. might just switch to BotE tbh it sims around 1.5k less for me but just feels better

uncut schooner
#

2 weeks (?) into Beta and still nothing on rogue conduits/legendaries. Not to mention missing talents.

#

Seems like they've only really just started making progress on druids if anything.

#

Some other classes are still missing legendaries effects too.

balmy condor
#

yeah that's usually the argument for bote

uncut schooner
#

It's a tad worrying given that during the Beta 'reveal stream' they claimed it would be feature complete. I still really want to see the direction Assa is going into SL.

#

Since I enjoy it a lot.

balmy condor
#

they're going the way sin has gone for the last 3 expansions tbh

uncut schooner
#

Bad until later patches with better gearing/stat weights?

balmy condor
#

slow != bad

uncut schooner
#

Isn't that a case of the mastery not being ideal though?

balmy condor
#

what's bad and good depends on how its tuned

#

but sin will play near identical to what we have now with a poison build

uncut schooner
