#

your vanishes are fine

mossy sable
#

Really?

balmy condor
#

it's just 2/3 of those casts in MA are bleeds

#

which is basically a waste of time

mossy sable
#

Ah

balmy condor
#

with MA you're gonna want to do mut into snd into mut to start

#

or any combination of mut/env from vanish

mossy sable
#

Gotcha

balmy condor
#

should try and get your vanish closer to your vendetta though

frail fossil
#

if u play MA u play subterfuge tho right ? so when do u fit that empowered garrote

balmy condor
mossy sable
#

So if a bleed is near falling off do I let it or is it more of a try and time it after I refresh

frail fossil
#

oh it's the talent mb

mossy sable
#

MA(t) and MA(l)

frail fossil
#

yeah i get it now

mossy sable
#

lolz

mossy sable
#

Whats the pandemic for Garrote and Rupture?

balmy condor
#

30% duration of the new dot being applied

#

just like every other pandemic

mossy sable
#

I assume I hit it when I end up with a 22sec Garrote or whatever

balmy condor
#

works with slice as well

mossy sable
balmy condor
#

garrote is 5.4 because it's static duration, but rupture and slice change based on cp

mossy sable
#

Right

balmy condor
#

I think rupture is 7.2, slice is uh..... 8 something

#

for 4 cp

#

I don't remember the rupture/slice ones

mossy sable
#

Slice I have a sound go off at 10

#

Although i notice on Sin I have to do a 4 CP Slice more often

balmy condor
#

yeah okay, rupture 4cp is 6, slice is 9

mossy sable
#

Outlaw gets CP so quick I have no excuse to not 5cp slice

balmy condor
#

7.2 is 5cp rupture for sub :P

mossy sable
#

So specific

#

lol

balmy condor
#

my weakauras just change color when I can refresh

#

I know the timers, but the weakauras honestly do most of it

#

but yeah, aside from slice uptime, the vanish stuff, and making sure you don't miss shiv casts

#

that's really about it

mossy sable
#

I need to get new WA set up if I am gonna play this more

#

I have some basic ones set up rn

balmy condor
#

that seems fine to me

mossy sable
#

Time Remaining, Count, and glows if none applied

upper sierra
#

you mind sharing that?

mossy sable
#

Except envenom count I can't get that shit to work

#

Err not count timer

mossy sable
upper sierra
#

yeah

ornate raptor
#

Its a nice simple WA

#

Share it idd

mossy sable
#

Uh sure, i'd kinda a WIP for now and some of it needs polished up

#

The combo point bar is someone elses but the other stuff is in 2 different WA, sending soon

upper sierra
#

cool cool ๐Ÿ‘

mossy sable
upper sierra
#

hell yeah, thanks!

polar gate
#

Is it normal that I'm always very low energy on pure single target fights? I only have 15% haste though, but does it change a lot if I have more?

balmy condor
#

yes, that's normal

#

sin is a slow spec by design

mossy sable
#

I couldn't stand it in BFA but idk if it's like a placebo or not but it feels so much better with S&D

#

idk if S&D does any more than the one essence we ran 24/7

balmy condor
#

I would say a fast majority of people disagree with you on that one :P

polar gate
#

good to know, thanks ๐Ÿ˜„

mossy sable
balmy condor
#

alacrity + blindside + snd bring us to EP levels of speed

mossy sable
#

Figured as much, so it're more of a placebo that I "Feel" Like I have more energy all the time

balmy condor
#

yeh

mossy sable
#

Or maybe I just am better at slower shit like this now

#

lol

mossy sable
upper sierra
#

sick ๐Ÿ‘

cold rampart
#

!rotation

cold rampart
#

sepsis on cd?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

or with vendetta if you're not going to miss casts obviously

cold rampart
#

thx bro

#

also shiv on cd?

balmy condor
#

yes

gray hazel
#

The stealthed ability you get from Sepsis. Would the garrote from it be empowered from Subterfuge?

And is the single potency with Burrs still the best damage?

balmy condor
#

sepsis proc allows for stealth based abilities, it does not give stealth based combat bonuses

#

you still take burrs with single potency, yes. You can sim yourself to be sure, as some people sim higher with kyrian depending on gear for example

gray hazel
#

Thanks Whispyr! Im glad i asked, i totally thought that Garrote would get the extra damage.

balmy condor
#

yeh, it used to in beta, when sepsis gave a full vanish instead of what it currently is

#

but they nerfed it cause the interaction was crazy

mossy sable
#

I can see why

oblique flare
hushed sphinx
#

Instead of just some random dot

tribal marlin
#

But some Cov ability have crazy interaction and still remains.

hushed sphinx
#

Yeah thanks blizz

gray hazel
#

Im glad they made it the way it is now. Sepsis seemed useless when trying to solo things if you couldnt kill it.

#

Still wish it gave the damage though

tribal marlin
#

They should make all possible cov interaction works such as (for us) Sepsis / SBS working as whitelisted ability

balmy condor
#

the design idea was to avoid covenant interaction

gray hazel
#

At least the garrote silence would be good in pvp

tribal marlin
balmy condor
#

they don't want required combinations like doomblade + sbs

#

I'm talking rogues

#

don't give a fuck about other classes

tribal marlin
#

ye I know, but you can't ignore other class synergy

#

Convoke the Spirits is synergizing crazy with the the kit.

balmy condor
#

sure I can

#

because I care about rogues

#

and I don't care about other classes

#

I'm saying in the scope of rogues

#

the design philosophy was to avoid interactions

tribal marlin
#

It's buffed by BOAT, all these starsurge are buffed by mastery, by CA double Eclipse etc... It's just perfect.

So you with such cov ability, it make sense to make ALL of theim synergyze as it was whitlisted ability

#

and just tune it so it doesn't go crazy

tribal marlin
# balmy condor the design philosophy was to avoid interactions

Yes I understand and I think it's a bad philosophy. It would have been infinitely better to ALLOW such interactions and tune the classe accordingly, rather than avoid such interaction at all cost ... but at the end you can't prevent some ability to actually synergyze

balmy condor
#

I agree

#

but I'm also not a designer

tribal marlin
#

Some ability such as Convoke, Condemn, Divine Toll etc...

oblique flare
#

I haven't found a sim, but considering assa has leech, would herbs be a game changer over burrs :0 ?

balmy condor
#

herbs is better than burrs in m+

#

it procs off of natural health regen as well

#

so the leech thing isn't really important

tribal marlin
#

They all synergyze crazy with the class mechanics and it's unavoidable because the ability itself trigger some other class-specific ability.

At the end, all class that doesn't have such interaction become average while these with such unavoidable interaction become valuable.

So if the philosophy is to prevent such interaction you basically can't prevent some ability to become outliers. The only way is to make all stuff synergyze with the class, so outlier aren't really outlier anymore.

At the End it seems harder to balance, but it's easier because the problem then end up being in numbers rather than fundamental design.

oblique flare
#

and i assume raids single target burrs still?

balmy condor
#

yes

oblique flare
#

alright cheers, finally got myself enough gear for assa and want to get it optimal for +15s

balmy condor
#

if you want to be optimal m+ you'd take korayn

#

herbs is fine though for tyrannical or if you don't want to play with first strike

oblique flare
#

ah yeah, wild hunt, fair enough

balmy condor
#

nah, first strike is the strong one

#

wild hunt is aight

oblique flare
#

issue is I had to change my soul binds and conduits around for pvp, will see how i can re-arrange things soon

balmy condor
#

only thing that requires energy is conduit swapping

#

so as long as you got the conduits you want slotted, you can freely change everything else

oblique flare
#

ye, main issue xd

balmy condor
#

your endurance and finesse ones don't change ever

oblique flare
#

like, last days, i had to change the order if septic shock with wps

balmy condor
#

you had to change the order?

oblique flare
#

yeah, since I use the same bind with sub too

balmy condor
#

oh I see

oblique flare
#

but i might just make korayn my assa bind at this point

mossy sable
#

You take venthyr

balmy condor
#

no

#

you don't

mossy sable
#

And get depression, but atleast look cool

balmy condor
#

oddly enough, venthyr single target is competitive to kyrian

#

the only one lagging behind is necro, which undersims slightly, and has that mastery change coming

mossy sable
#

It may be useful in ST but the sims don't take into account how annoying it is to have to get the 2nd GCD right

#

Stunned: Miss GCD
Knocked Back: Miss GCD
Focus on Moving from AOE Shit: Miss GCD

balmy condor
#

you can't cast it on the move?

mossy sable
#

You can

#

But if your moving

#

It kinda wastes it if you can't do damage or if you just don't hit it cause your not good

balmy condor
#

movement wastes everything though

mossy sable
#

Also not getting enough CP used during the duration sucks

balmy condor
#

that's not a flag specific thing

mossy sable
#

True, it's more like it lasts so long that it treats it like any other ability

#

So there is more room for shit to go wrong

#

It's not a fire and forget

tribal marlin
#

Ye it's actually quite good in Subtelty tbh

#

it's just undertune

mossy sable
#

Or even a 1 cast kinda thing

tribal marlin
#

but if it would deal better damage, it would be good in subt

mossy sable
#

I guess it just takes more thought so thats what makes it annoying

#

Like you have to think if in the next 20sec you will need to be dodging shit or stunned

strange python
#

hii, was wondering if anyone can tell me if assa is good for leveling , as i just started with the game like a few weeks ago

balmy condor
#

leveling isn't particular hard, so any spec can do it

#

but usually people prefer sub or outlaw

loud niche
#

Why is sin not getting buffs in 905?

strange python
#

alright thank you i appriciate it :D

balmy condor
loud niche
#

no

balmy condor
#

well then there ya go

loud niche
#

Kinda loony that they wouldn't buff us

reef axle
#

The scaling in 9.1 could be preventing any current buffes, we may scale well with gear next tier.

balmy condor
reef axle
#

Man period alert

balmy condor
#

we don't talk about scaling

#

because it's nonsense

#

and has no bearing on the actual tuning of a spec

loud niche
#

So, if class A gets X+1 from haste after 30%, but class B gets X+2, wouldn't that be scaling? Or am I missing something on that?

balmy condor
#

the part you're missing is that the difference there is irrelevant

loud niche
#

:/ sry explain more?

signal gulch
#

the true scaling is hoping you get a good borrowed power

icy crater
#

It's just how much dps you gain per stat increase.

#

And that can change over time with how much of each stat you have.

worldly bridge
#

hi can i Sim conduits for ST raid ? (destroyer MM in 30min)

balmy condor
#

you can have 1.4 dps per haste, or 1.5 dps, and that's all fine, but then you think about it some more, and on like 800 stat, which if we're talking about haste, is almost 25%, would be 80 dps

#

that's a drop in the ocean

balmy condor
#

by the time you actually get that difference of 800 stat

#

you're in a new patch, with new borrowed power

#

that actually just fucks all of that over

loud niche
#

Hm

balmy condor
#

so the difference in stat "scaling", while it exists

loud niche
#

Okay, makes sense

balmy condor
#

never really matters

icy crater
#

The only way a meaningful change in scaling can happen is if blizzard changes the interactions of the stats.

#

When people talk about difference in scaling, I think they mean between classes. So for instance if haste gives outlaw rogue 1 dps per point but gives shadow priest 2 dps per point thats a difference in scaling

balmy condor
#

and that doesn't even mention the fact that as you get more stats, your weights shift

icy crater
#

exactly

balmy condor
#

and that shift can also change how things work

#

it's just a mess

#

if you go into the hard minutia of things, it gets a bit confusing

#

the tldr is though that if a spec were to scale harder, it would need to be over like 250 ilvl, with no outside influences affecting it

#

which is just unrealistic garbage

#

if we go with the meme of "sin's got the late game boys, we suck early, just scale for end of expansion" (which currently isn't even true, sub with ilvl actually gets ahead slightly)

#

and then 9.1 shows up, and sin gets nothing, but say like sub gets a giga borrowed power

#

and 9.2 shows up, and sin gets nothing, but outlaw gets something nice and sub gets a meh thing

#

given no tuning, sin would still be trash

icy crater
#

I just don't understand why blizzard doesn't invest more time in spec design and changes. They should realize that your class and spec is the lens in which you view the game, and if that is super fun and engaging, players will stay around and blizzard makes more money.

balmy condor
#

even with all of the mystical scaling

loud niche
#

Odds of balance druid just being the top spec doing their 4 button rotation with 1 button cd for the entire xpac?

balmy condor
#

not enough information to make those odds

#

it's probably just as likely that boomy is the worst ranged spec in the game in 9.1

fleet whale
#

the last time stat scaling was a thing in a meaningful way, was back in MoP

#

In fact, assuming similar ilvl and gear, one sin rogue could have near full mast/verse gear, with only a little bit of haste

#

and another could have near full crit/haste gear, with only some verse and mastery

#

and the sim dps wouldn't even be all that different

worldly bridge
#

What kind of sim should i use for Hungering Destroyer MM ? Light movement ? Heavy movement ? Smthing else ? Should i go Sub over Sin or is this the kind of fight Sin is usually better cuz mechanics ? (warcraftlogs says otherwise tho)

balmy condor
#

just patchwerk 5 min is fine

worldly bridge
#

Aight ty

mossy sable
#

I know some classes don't work super well for it

balmy condor
#

not quite sure what that means

mossy sable
#

Dungeon Slice

balmy condor
#

rogue implementation is very good

mossy sable
#

Ok cool

balmy condor
#

so all fight types are fine

mossy sable
#

I just know some classes and specs don't sim as well as others (not including tanks and healers)

#

And for some I've heard doing Patchwork 3 target is better

balmy condor
#

yeah, other classes are a little slow on the sim implementations

#

no one gets paid to work on simulationcraft

#

so it's purely out of passion

#

which means that if theorycrafters don't want to, it doesn't happen

#

rogues however have a banging ass set of simc devs and theorycrafters

mossy sable
#

Right same with Analyzer

#

Which idk of it's updated yet

balmy condor
#

well the analyzer people get paid as far as I know through the add revenue on the site

mossy sable
#

Ahh

balmy condor
#

but the business that runs analyzer is a piece of shit or something

#

so the people who used to do it out of passion left

mossy sable
#

I see

balmy condor
#

and now like 75% of specs are not supported

#

and the ones that are supported aren't supported

mossy sable
#

Lol

balmy condor
#

I think the pally analyzer's are okay

mossy sable
#

I wish it was easier to find people willing/able to read logs though

balmy condor
#

and maybe the death knight ones?

#

but that's really about it afaik

mossy sable
#

I kinda know a bit but not much

#

I know how to sort for stuff like damage and uptimes a bit

fleet whale
#

you also have some people who sandbag sims

#

such as warlocks lol

mossy sable
#

Sandbag?

fleet whale
#

make the sim worse than what it should be

mossy sable
#

Ah

#

Sandbag like the sandbags on a hot air balloon?

#

Like weighing it down basically

balmy condor
#

warlock implementation is uh

#

interesting

mossy sable
#

Just never heard that saying before

balmy condor
#

but I wouldn't say they're sandbagging it

balmy condor
mossy sable
#

Ah

balmy condor
#

its mostly like sports averages and handicaps and stuff

mossy sable
#

Gotcha

balmy condor
#

like if you're playing X sport with an average of 50, and you would get a handicap of 20

#

you would sandbag before a tournament

#

to get more handicap

#

and then smash because you played worse on purpose

mossy sable
#

Is it hard to sim or is it that the sim makers are not doing very good at it

#

Oh ok

balmy condor
#

it's not hard to sim

#

but implementation can be hit or miss

mossy sable
#

Gotcha ok

balmy condor
#

there's multiple parts to make the sim function

#

you got to have the skills and abilities and everything working like you would in the game

#

so all the right interactions with like zoldyck, making sure crits are registered as crits for dashing, etc etc

mossy sable
#

I just click a button and it shows my damage, this shit is confusing lol

balmy condor
#

that all is on top of the actual engine for simc

#

because simc obviously needs to understand what haste is, and what vers is, how crits work, and all that

#

and once you have that engine set up (which all classes build on), and you have the foundation of all your gear effects and random things that get added

#

that's when you actually have APL stuff

#

apl being action priority list

#

it's basically a set of instructions that simulationcraft takes, and uses to play your character

mossy sable
#

That makes enough sense

#

And then it does that for X amounts of times

#

Averages the results

balmy condor
#

like vendetta for example

#

vendetta,if=!stealthed.rogue&dot.rupture.ticking&!debuff.vendetta.up&variable.vendetta_nightstalker_condition

#

that's the line that casts vendetta in sims

#

so it will cast vendetta, if you're not in stealth, if rupture is ticking, if vendetta isn't currently on the target, and based on a condition for nightstalker logic

mossy sable
#

So it sets up a series of parameters that try to mimic when a player would likely cast it

balmy condor
#

not how a player would likely cast it

#

how a player would want to cast it ideally

#

simulations try and get close to perfect play, within reason

mossy sable
#

Ah

balmy condor
#

like it's not "when you're playing niya specifically with zoldyck and have this stat priority, then you should be casting garrote before a shiv at 2:37 into the fight instead of after"

#

it doesn't really do that

#

it's a bit of a middle ground

#

where it's trying to optimal, but not optimal to the point of like finger breaking crazy every single gcd is scripted

balmy condor
#

and most of the time, things that are within like 10 dps, usually ignored

tribal marlin
#

duskwalker on 2mn execute sims

#

(as 2nd leggo)

worldly bridge
#

Why does Sub sims lower than Sin for me ? Shouldnt it be otherwise ? Is it only cuz Korayn / Nyia ?

tribal marlin
#

better get one now because I can bet you that we will want to have one at some point for specific fights ^^

mossy sable
tribal marlin
#

Vendetta CDR

mossy sable
#

Ooo

#

I miss that from BFA

tribal marlin
#

It's a 2mn sims with vary_combat_lenght = 0

balmy condor
#

okay, but I raise you this sim instead

tribal marlin
#

this mean every single iteration is exactly 120s, so ofc Duskwalker is owning, it make you cast a 2nd vendetta

balmy condor
#

if you just add variation

#

all of a sudden you wouldn't take it

#

2min with 0 variation, in execute, with zoldyck, is actually the best case scenario for duskwalker you could ever make

tribal marlin
#

ofc

odd python
#

ASSA is crit/haste ?

tribal marlin
#

but that's also a scenario that is likely to happen

balmy condor
balmy condor
mossy sable
#

That's the nice part about being Law/Sin I can use the same gear

balmy condor
#

and you have 2 legendaries?

#

and there's no adds?

tribal marlin
#

1:45 to 2:00 execute phase yes

#

Forgot about adds

#

I mean

#

Just forget about adds, the only reason you ever get into raids is because of Execute niche

balmy condor
#

sure

#

so would you say that a 1:45 to 2:15 execute is likely to happen then?

tribal marlin
#

I don't know but what I know

#

it's that if the execute phase is 1:45

#

it will be either 1:42 or maybe 1:50

#

but not more

#

if it's 2:20, it will be maybe 2:15 at worst, or 2:25 but there is never 30sec variation in such phases in progress. Boss are pretty well scripted

#

You obviously won't go for Duskwalker if it's 2:20 phase.

And looking at my sims, in a dream case you only win 0.2% so I don't think you'll go Duskwalker anyway xD

balmy condor
#

so a 2 min execute phase could go 1:50 to 2:10 maybe?

tribal marlin
#

mmmh nah I don't think you can have such big time windows. It's always withing 5sec in progression logs

#

like Sire was sometimes lower than 10:00 but usually never "that" below 10:00

#

you can mostly assume your execute phase time frame will be mostly set in stone before you start progression

balmy condor
#

the difference between seli's kill and your kill is 12 seconds

#

I don't think 20 would be unreasonable

tribal marlin
#

they phase the boss 12sec earlier

#

that's why

balmy condor
#

and you don't think phasing the boss 12 seconds earlier means its possible that a future fight doesn't have any variation on the execute phase?

tribal marlin
#

I think the boss transition naturally into phase 3 at 6:45 but you can transition earlier if you drop it below 40%

balmy condor
#

I'm sure there's a wide range of times on mythic sludge execute time

tribal marlin
#

Nowaday yes but I mean it depends on your own raid setup

#

but inside your own raid, the time frame isn't that high

#

slight variation can happens because of full moon and crit rng but idk

#

actually

#

I think there is a variation

#

but not as you think it is

#

Like you will "kill" the boss faster and faster, but never "slower"

#

because people will better setup their dps, but if you refer to a kill log with ~same comp than your you can pretty much expect killing the boss with the same timing

#

But anyway I don't think we'll play this shit ever

#

like Idk even with no variation it's 0.2% better in the dream scenario tho

#

That's the dream of the dream case (1m50)

#

but idk I'm not fully conviced this will ever happen.

#

Sire is like 2m30 execute phase

#

kind of a dream too for non-dusk setup xD

#

banned from official wow discord again

#

so uhhhh

#

how do you open in pvp as assassination rogue with mark?

#

and can you fit 4 or 5 skills in the window?

#

of 100% crit chance*

balmy condor
#

you can fit 4, and that's a question for #pvp mostly

#

sorry about the ban? monkaChrist

tribal marlin
#

I think only outlaw can fit 5

split veldt
#

i hear Sin is doing crazy good in M+, whats that all about?

balmy condor
remote drift
#

how does outlaw fit 5?

tribal marlin
#

AR pre pull gives you 0.8sec gcd

balmy condor
#

adrenaline rush reduces gcd to 0.8

remote drift
#

does snd do anything to gcd?

tribal marlin
#

nop, energy class have fixed GCD to 1.0sec

remote drift
#

energy class?

#

huh

mental wing
#

Yes i finally managed to get a world 1

tribal marlin
#

yes Rogue, Ferals and Monks

remote drift
#

how does this even work tbh

mental wing
#

assa = viable

remote drift
#

aight so 4 skills it is

#

which 4 skills would go in the opener?

#

should subterfuge be used?

deft vault
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

in pve, we would take subterfuge, and open with gar mut snd mut rup, followed by vendetta coven, mut, shiv, vanish env mut env mut env

#

you can move some stuff around in there if you'd like

deft vault
#

Your frist MA window is just to set you up so get garrote/rup/slice going

balmy condor
#

but that's the general idea

remote drift
#

what would you use in pvp?

#

I suppose a cs is mandatory?

dense hamlet
remote drift
#

although it might greatly reduce damage

mental wing
dense hamlet
#

deadly poison doing more than garrote and rupture

remote drift
#

would garrote be enough for the opener to avoid losing damage to cheap shot?

dense hamlet
#

assa is scuffed man

remote drift
#

what gets silenced and what doesn't anyway?

balmy condor
#

probably #pvp questions

tribal marlin
#

Assa is a pretty good PI target tbh

#

not the best tho

remote drift
#

not sure where to go with this tbh

#

it's both

#

strictly assassination and strictly pvp

balmy condor
#

that's why I'm saying probably #pvp

dense hamlet
#

yeah best pi targets are uhd on pull hunter on 2min marker afflock and spriests

#

then assa mabe?

mental wing
#

ya but you can PI the assa if he doenst have to play mechanics in this fight

remote drift
#

aight

tribal marlin
#

This channel is mostly for PvE, not like we don't want to answer you but some very good PvP rogue are most likely to help you #pvp

stoic needle
dense hamlet
#

i mean yes

stoic needle
#

It's the same as outlaw and dispatch/melee

#

I don't really think that makes it scuffed

tribal marlin
#

The 4mn sims the guy used is somehow scuffed. Since you don't get PId in execute range.

#

I'm curious to see if it change anything to the list to run 5mn sims insteed

#

I'm kinda lazy to check but I think It will always be better on hunter anyway, even in execute range

#

"especially" in execute range

cosmic trail
#

for the upper reaches do yall build around the chorus thing or just your character?

tribal marlin
# balmy condor 5min

yes I just noticed it's just the one single iteration that is shown in html report that last 4mn

#

I don't like this option, I know it's good to "emulate" a sim that can be relevant in a larger time window

#

Well I checked a bit and PId on Assa rogue is on parse with other top5 PI target (Ret/Fire notably) but it's just too good on hunter to give it to anyone else

stoic needle
tribal marlin
#

I mean I redone the sims with fixed time lenght and NF assa rogue*

stoic needle
#

When we do more dps than hunters in the execute

tribal marlin
#

IDK dude

#

seems like hunter are just blasting in execute xD

stoic needle
tribal marlin
#

kill shot it is

#

ok no it's not about execute

#

it's about 180s sims

#

it's just better on a hunter in 3mn sims than on rogue, even tho rogue are doing way more execute damage.

#

BUT

#

there is a but

vestal wren
#

you can just sim with fixed health and without

tribal marlin
vestal wren
#

and see how much the sim goes down, it gives you a overall %dps estimate

tribal marlin
#

what do you mean fuu ? for execute ?

#

oh yes for kill shot

#

Oh and there is one factor also it's that Execute sims is not accurate for DK. I don't know why it's not fixed yet, but they basically implemented Soul Reaper in a way that you can't sim execute.

vestal wren
#

interessting

fleet anchor
#

fixed_time is the default behavior nowadays iirc, due to how many specs have execute mechanics now

fleet anchor
mortal scaffold
#

how do i calculate attack power?

balmy condor
tribal marlin
mortal scaffold
#

is 1 agi = 1 ap?

balmy condor
#

yes

tribal marlin
#

But you can use enemy_fixed_health_percentage and it works. I reported it to DK discord already.

fleet anchor
#

I mean I don't see anything different

#

In how they are handling their execute vs. anything else

tribal marlin
#

idk :/

#

look

fleet anchor
#
  void last_tick( dot_t* dot ) override
  {
    if ( dot -> target -> health_percentage() < data().effectN( 3 ).base_value() )
    {
      soul_reaper_execute -> set_target ( dot -> target );
      soul_reaper_execute -> execute();
    }
  }
#

Seems totally fine to me

tribal marlin
#

I just did a basic process : Clipboard DK simcraft addon > Quick sim > Execute Patchwerk

fleet anchor
#

?

#

Seems like it's working on all of them?

tribal marlin
#

16 casts over 5mn ?

fleet anchor
#

Yeah but they all have the execute triggering

#

It's not a module issue

tribal marlin
#

oh yes it's an apl issue then

#

soul_reaper,target_if=target.time_to_pct_35<5&target.time_to_die>5

#

this is the line

fleet anchor
#

It seems more likely that the target.time_to_pct stuff might not like the enemy_fixed_health_percentage

tribal marlin
#

with the enemy_initial_health more likely no ?

#

since it work with fixed health

balmy condor
#

something to take up with the DK discord, and not with the assassination channel of a rogue discord

fleet anchor
#

Seems like some more global thing, would affect Assassination APL stuff if we cared

tribal marlin
#

yes sorry, I reported it anyway they will look I guess

#

I think time_to_pct_35 is returning a value based on the remaining health of our Target Dummy.
Which is probably not happening with fixed health percentage

fleet anchor
#

We just don't happen to have any conditionals atm for it in the APL

#

Although I've considered some for Fan of Knives since it seemed like potentially a gain to integrate some Zoldyck logic in the AoE conditions

tribal marlin
#

because fixed health percentage trigger the engine to compute differently maybe

subtle tundra
#

is crimson tempest not triggering alacrity normal?

#

cause it doesnt give me stacks at all

correct, it's a bug

how much of a gain is pooling for shiv

balmy condor
#

Not a ton, overall maybe 2% versus just slamming everything as it comes out

#

Should mention that the APL doesnโ€™t look for shiv specifically

#

It just holds onto envenom until itโ€™s going to overcap energy

feral merlin

is using Thistle Tea a thing?

balmy condor
#

no

feral merlin
#

Any reason?

balmy condor
#

cause its garbage

feral merlin
#

free energy?

balmy condor
#

lets say you're getting 150 energy out of it

#

which you won't be

#

but we can try and say that you would

#

that's 2 mutilates, and an envenom worth of energy

#

so maybe 10k damage?

feral merlin
#

so its just a hassle and wont do much

balmy condor
#

a phantom fire pot does like 25k

#

agi pots probably do along the same

#

and require 0 thought

#

and no min-maxing

#

I think some people were using thistle in legion

feral merlin
#

OHHHH its considered a pot

#

i did not know

balmy condor
#

yeah

feral merlin
#

Well itd be neat if it was just a side thing that could be used

#

oh well

balmy condor
#

I wish it were removed from the game tbh

#

headache and a half for like maybe 80 energy

strange python
#

it should give you like 2 gcds of no energy usage

#

even then kinda meh though

#

maybe longr

#

but then it might be imba quite quickly

proper sage
balmy condor
#

not really

#

most of the time you would just use the finisher

proper sage
#

kk

balmy condor
#

in a perfect world on a dummy, you would hold for as long as you could, for max uptime on envenom/elaborate planning/other things

#

but it rarely actually ends up that way

makes sense

mossy sable
#

So whats the total buff to sin so far since launch?

balmy condor
#

5% 8% and another 5%, all of which were added manipulatively to the spec's aura

mossy sable
#

So I ran Sin for a few bosses

#

Got a solid 8 Parse (Heroic)

dusky vault
#

did you die?

mossy sable
#

No don't think I did

strange silo

Hey is it worth to vanish as soon as the empowered garrote is gone? it should be worth right so that i could utilize a second maybe third vanish?

dusky vault
balmy condor
mossy sable
#

Actually yes I think I did die on Huntsman

dusky vault
mossy sable
#

I got a 41 on Hungering

balmy condor
#

you would vanish with vendetta on future garrotes and overwrite the current unempowered garrote ticking

#

trying to maximize the ticks of empowered garrote in vendetta

dusky vault
strange silo
#

wait did i miss something what is pandemic?

balmy condor
#

(which obviously isn't difficult considering a max garrote is longer than vendetta)

mossy sable
#

Was talking to Whispyr earlier about it

dusky vault
#

fundamentals should carry you to 75%+ parses in heroic

mossy sable
#

Fundamentals? Like refreshing dots etc?

dusky vault
balmy condor
# strange silo wait did i miss something what is pandemic?

dots/buffs can be refreshed with time remaining on them without losing you any damage. The way it works is that the duration remaining is carried over onto the newly applied aura being applied, up to a maximum. The maximum is always 30% of the duration of the new aura being applied. This added duration does not account for the increased damage the previous aura may have done, so lets do a couple examples:
Garrote has an 18 second static timer, meaning you can safely refresh it at 5.4 seconds (18*0.3) or less, transferring the remaining duration to the new garrote, for a maximum of 23.4 seconds.
ex.1: You apply a subterfuge garrote from stealth. It is now empowered. You refresh it with a normal garrote at 3 seconds left. This new garrote has a 18+3 second time on it, however you lost the extra damage from the remaining 3 seconds of the subterfuge garrote.
ex.2: You apply a subterfuge garrote from stealth. You refresh it with a vanish-garrote at 3 seconds left. This new garrote has a 18+3 second time on it, and you lost no damage, since the damage from both dots is equal, and you simply moved the duration from the old garrote, onto the new one.
ex3: You currently have a garrote ticking, with 10 seconds left, you vanish-garrote. This new garrote has the maximum duration of 23.4 seconds, causing you to essentially "lose" the 4.6 seconds of normal garrote damage from the original garrote. This is however fine usually, since you have max uptime on garrote through the fight anyways, and those unempowered ticks aren't actually lost. An argument could be made that you wasted a fractional amount of energy and gcd cost associated with casting the original garrote (in this case, 25.56%, or 11.5 energy), but in the grand scheme of a fight, that waste is mostly irrelevant and made up for the timing you got through it

mossy sable
#

I likely did make a lot of those mistakes

strange silo
#

Ok just saw it on icy veins the pandemic thing is really good to know

mossy sable
#

lol

#

Typed that whole thing out

#

XD

balmy condor
#

I ran out of characters, but something to note is that rupture and slice have varying durations depending on combo points, and their pandemic timers will change accordingly

#

if you have 3cp, the time to refresh a rupture will be shorter/lower, than the time you would have at 5cp

strange silo
#

this one has way more detail in it the icy veins thing just show small examples but yea thanks this will help a lot i alway waited for it to drop to like 1-2 secs left

mossy sable
#

Since I mained Law for so long I still perform better mostly so I only ran it on fights we have on clear really

dusky vault
mossy sable
#

Still in raid rn so I will @ you later

#

I have a feeling I for sure made a lot of simple mistakes, Overcpapping was a huge issue for Law for me

mental laurel
#

Looking into going assassination but I don't have Zoldyck yet. If I'm running Mark of the Master Assassin would it make the most sense to take Nightstalker and Ambush out of stealth/vanish? I've heard it said here that you shouldn't be using Ambush out of stealth ever, but I'm wondering if that's an exception because of the guaranteed crit.

stoic needle
#

nope, still not worth it. you can sim it for yourself and see

#

there's sadly not much reason to ever run nightstalker. i wish there was because i enjoy the talent

mossy sable
#

So on Council do I multidot?

#

Since we focus on 1 target technically

#

Wondering what I should run

balmy condor
#

on pull, you would still mutilate

mental laurel
#

Good to know

balmy condor
#

but that one gcd doesn't matter for shit on the full fight

#

so if you feel happier hitting ambush

#

go for it

mossy sable
#

How's Sin on Sludge usually?

balmy condor
#

fine

#

nothing insane, but it's not awful

mossy sable
#

I ended up doing it as Outlaw

#

Had my best every run I feel on Heroic Sludge

#

And only got a 42 Parse

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

Usually people say the opposite

-shiv- > ks -> sepsis -> vanish -> mfg ks?

Ks is usually kidney shot

But Idk why thereโ€™s two kidney shots

Community: Get rid of the 2nd GCD, make it do more damage
Team: So uhh some weird change here ya go!

balmy condor
#

Itโ€™s currently weaker than ER I believe

#

But with twice the cooldown

#

And no combo point mini game

mossy sable
#

And 2 GCDs still?

balmy condor
#

No itโ€™s press button, instant damage

mossy sable
#

Ooo

#

Thats cool atleast

balmy condor
#

Itโ€™s literally just copy paste ER

#

But without the combo point

#

And instead you get attack range

torn atlas
#

The attack range is truly the strangest part of the change.

balmy condor
#

If thatโ€™s the added bonus, then whatever

#

But the damage portion is really weird

#

Just Instant damage

#

Kinda odd

stoic needle
#

All in all its kinda trash

#

Increased attack range is probably the worst additional effect they could think of

#

If that goes live I swear to God I'm gonna post angrily about it on discord and not actually unsub

Iโ€™ve been keeping up with the popular m+ classes in the +10-15 range. Doing up to 10k dps on trash packs.

soo i am all in for that

balmy condor

Bosses with execute legendary puts me near the top almost every time too so assassination is definitely viable. At least in that range, donโ€™t know about higher than +15.

balmy condor
#

yeah 15's at around 215 ilvl I'm doing like 5.5-6k pretty comfy

strange python
#

I think your problem on higher than 15 would be getting people to bring you with Sadge

unless your guild will just bringyou all the time

That's the point

#

There's a trash pack you skip before 2nd boss so you can spawn the prideful near him and be able to use it optimally

#

have to skip it either with invis pots/dying on purpose then rezing or rogue shroud

I usually only see people bother doing it on tyrannical weeks though

balmy condor

Can also shroud that broken cave area before the first boss

and the previous week I had two +14 choices, and 2 heroic, and a normal raid

how longs it take to get good at "aligning the stars" with Shiv envenom window? Like till its easily executable with vanish > garrote> vendetta > etc.

#

I mess up sometimes

balmy condor

not sure what you mean by that

#

you just slam shiv on cd

feral merlin
#

Ideally you have your shiv window in your vendetta no?

balmy condor
#

0,25,50,1:15,1:40,2:05

#

does that not line up in vendetta?

feral merlin
#

my question is when did you get good at that rotation

#

its hard for me to execute perfectly right now

balmy condor
#

maybe like

#

5-6 hours

stoic needle
#

just don't hold shiv for any reason

#

make a weakaura that reminds you to use it if you need to

balmy condor
#

yeh

stoic needle
#

mine has a nice big glow around the shiv icon

balmy condor

it's not really anything difficult

literally just slam it

and about that shiv stuff im used to hold shiv/toxicblade when i have like all dots and SD and then shiv and do more envennon i can , but reading that im prob worng

balmy condor
#

that's usually how the opener works

#

subt openers usually gar mut snd mut rup vend cov shiv
ma openers usually mut snd mut gar rup vend cov shiv

#

so

#

there's that first one

feral merlin
#

for every shiv you pool for CPs to envenom ? like always always?

balmy condor
#

you pool energy, but not cp for envenom

#

ideally you would just hold onto envenom

#

but pooling in general isn't that big

trim zinc
balmy condor
#

yes

#

snd is more important than rupture

trim zinc
#

ty ^^
ill try to change that

balmy condor
#

casting mutilate over ambush, and casting snd before rupture, should result is about 1-1.3% dps

#

for pretty much 0 effort

#

kinda sick

trim zinc
#

i only accutaly uses ambush when it probs from blindside
i use subt cuz i play MA legendary

balmy condor

aha

that's all fine

stoic needle
#

Doesn't come at high enough ilvl to beat raid trinkets or high vault trinkets but frond is decent

balmy condor
#

yes

#

you should snd first

stoic needle
#

If you wanna min/max shiv and sepsis you sepsis before shiv so that the last bonk from sepsis gets the shiv damage bonus

#

It can hit pretty hard

feral merlin
#

Mutilate over rupture during subterfuge?

#

i meant ambush

balmy condor
#

only ambush with blindside proc

#

otherwise never

trim zinc
balmy condor
#

the cooldown is 25

trim zinc
#

true

#

hmmm

stoic needle
#

Why is shiv 9 seconds it's so weird

trim zinc
balmy condor
#

yes

feral merlin
#

So mutilate over ambush because of chance to generate 4 CP? Also does mutilate proc the deadly poison reapplication damage because it's "attacking with both weapons"?

balmy condor
#

yes, with both hands

trim zinc
#

i think cuz that

balmy condor
#

it's mostly the cp though

#

the poison application is kinda meh

#

the logic gets better with blindside as well

#

since it gives mutilate a chance to proc it

#

which makes mutilate better

feral merlin
#

ya its just an interesting interaction

#

Maybe it's a weird question, does mutilate have a higher chance to crit because it's two hits in one ability?

balmy condor
#

no

#

each hand is calculated individually

feral merlin
#

so it can generate 3 points?

balmy condor
#

mutilate can generate 4

#

but if only 1 hand crits

#

it will give you 3

feral merlin
#

interesting

trim zinc
#

about the non dmg conduits
wat do u guys prefer

If you wanna min/max shiv and sepsis you sepsis before shiv so that the last bonk from sepsis gets the shiv damage bonus

#

and lethal poisons is working currently? I remember reading something a few days ago that said it wasnt working

balmy condor
#

I blame @rough scaffoldkekw

#

nah, lethal poisons works fine

#

there was a forum post saying that it wasn't, which was wrong, but I couldn't correct, because I don't use forums, and then someone else corrected for me, and then he came here, and we were like yeh all good, shit sucks sometimes but it be like that, and then the post got deleted and we all lived happily ever after

#

and that's how I met your mother

teal stratus
#

balmy condor

daring pecan

wer r using haste now

#

but like

#

even more now that u have to spend cp on SnD its not even more hard to maintain envenon buff?

lean fossil
#

haste makes our bleeds faster this expac, so we would need more crit to be able to maintain that buff

#

im able to maintain between 60-70% at this point depending on the fight

trim zinc
lean fossil
#

tho im only 212 ilvl

trim zinc
lean fossil
#

yeah, i have a lot more haste than you haha

lean fossil
#

cant log in atm so i had to go to my logs from this week haha

#

not haste, i meant crit lol

trim zinc
#

u have a lot more agy then me tho

lean fossil
#

yeah i know my crit is in the 20s for %

#

idk that exact %

trim zinc
#

tbh who cares about stats?? i just want the xymox bag LMAO

lean fossil
#

lol that was my first drop in the raid, so am i winning?

#

ive only gotten 2 drops total in my name tho, so i guess thats not saying much

trim zinc
#

u got a bag u win

#

lol

plain thistle

trim zinc
#

so wat excatly that means??

lean fossil
#

more bleed ticks in the duration of your rupture

trim zinc
#

so its more ticks with less dmg per tick?

lean fossil
#

dmg stays the same

#

pretty sure

plain thistle
#

yup

lean fossil
#

with each tick, you should get energy back as long as the target is poisoned also

plain thistle
#

damage is the same, you just get more ticks

trim zinc
#

if the dmg is the same and duration is the same it means that ur tick will deal less dmg
like
100dmg
over 10s
but ticks 20dmg ever 2s
if u have more haste it will be
still
100dmg
over 10s
but ticks 10 dmg every 1s
it means more energy and ticks that deal less dmg per tick right???

#

or im super dumb

plain thistle
#

what

#

no

#

you just get more ticks per second, which is more damage

#

if you get 10 ticks per rupture and 11 with more haste, that just more damage

lean fossil
#

like take the base dmg of say 1000 for your rupture, at 10 ticks each is 100

trim zinc
#

ya so it means that dot dmg is scales with haste?? no right?

lean fossil
#

well if you got more haste instead you could get 11 ticks

#

now its actually 1100

gleaming eagle
#

Ya I'm confused

#

I think what haste does is just make faster tick

#

Not more dmg so faster burst

trim zinc
#

it means

#

that each tick will deal less dmg but will tick faster

gleaming eagle
#

As far as I know rupture dmg scale of agility

plain thistle
#

no, the damage is the same bro

trim zinc
#

cuz it will not decrese the duration

gleaming eagle
#

You can see rupture tooltip dmg increase the more avi you get

trim zinc
gleaming eagle
#

But not haste

#

Agi*

plain thistle
#

no, each tick does the same damage with or without haste, you just get more ticks per rupture cast

trim zinc
#

sooo u saying that dot dmg scales with haste

plain thistle
#

tick rate yes

#

damage no

gleaming eagle
#

Dot dmg scale with agi

trim zinc
lean fossil
#

so was i off then?, so if you do 1k dmg in 10 ticks, and each tick is 100 dmg, if you got more haste wouldnt you then be able to do more ticks which would = more dmg for that duration of the rupture? so like 1.2k if you got 2 extra ticks?

stoic needle
#

There's two breakpoints at roughly 23% and 33% haste where you get an extra tick on each of your dots

trim zinc
plain thistle
#

to make up for that the duration of the dot doesn't line up perfectly with the tick rate

lean fossil
#

@plain thistle how far off am i?

stoic needle
#

Yeah, you still get a benefit regardless, just those are the numbers where it's a whole tick

gleaming eagle
#

I have 8% haste

#

rip

stoic needle
#

Really easy to reach with alacrity and gear

gleaming eagle
#

ya

#

I'm using alacrity

#

So I'm guessing if you have high haste you run exsang

plain thistle
gleaming eagle
#

For even faster tick lol

plain thistle
lean fossil
plain thistle
#

and even with a lot of haste it isnt better than alacrity =/

lean fossil
#

@plain thistle so they are retuning other classes in the beta for 9.05, do you think sin will get hit big?

stoic needle
#

All we can do is pray tbh

plain thistle
#

hopefully yes, but I wouldn't get my hopes up, especially with talents

#

I do not think they will change our talents tbh

lean fossil
#

just annoying that if i play sin at 100% parse, and an outlaw does it at 100% they are over 1k dps higher than us

#

just want to slim that gap there lol

#

could you imagine if they buff sin enough we are the top rogue spec? it would be like heaven lol

kindred crescent
#

wow assas is nuts in arena

#

the dmg is amazing

trim zinc
#

if u have MA legendary
have bleeds on target
shiv vendeta vanish envenon MFD envenon its prob a oneshot
(with a cc setup on heals)

plain thistle
#

you should also CC your kill target before that

trim zinc
#

True

#

Kidney bomb op

plain thistle
#

yeah, even smoke bomb with just system shock sometimes is impactful

#

and internel bleeding with MA does good damage too, in the opener

#

I killed a monk last night with just internal bleeding + subterfuge garrote + sepsis, in the opener

#

those 3 combined hitted him for 32k in the opener, hahahaha

trim zinc
#

Did u use shiv or vendeta??

plain thistle
#

just shiv, wasnt expecting him to die

trim zinc
#

Imma try thay
Before i got MA legendary i was using internal bleeding
After i got that idk why i swaped to the garrote one

plain thistle
#

ofc he played really badly, didnt use defensive or trinket, neither did his healer

#

sometimes they just dont respect the rogue burst, especially assa's ๐Ÿ˜‚
