Raid row is lol

limber lion
#

My guild killed Sludge 22th of February

#

We still haven't killed SLG

fleet anchor
#

Oof 😦

#

SLG can be a frustrating boss

limber lion
#

For sure. The progress is so slow and inconsistent

fleet anchor
#

It's one of my least favorite fights in a long time

#

I don't think I like anything about it at all

gentle gyro
#

i haven't done that fight yet

#

for now council holds that title

#

such an awful fight

plain thistle
#

the good part about it is when you get to sit in the bench for it πŸ™‚

fleet anchor
#

I'm glad there is now some hyper blaster speed strat for it because frankly

limber lion
#

I enjoy it on heroic tbh. All the mythic shenanigans just make it super annoying to progress on

gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

10-11 minutes of "stop DPS: the game"

#

I want to die inside

limber lion
#

It's the worst

charred mango
#

what changes between heroic-mythic SLG?

#

like a quick tldr version

gentle gyro
#

CN is "Stop DPS: The Raid"

fleet anchor
#

True that lol

#

So many stupid push thresholds

#

On so many bosses

gusty mirage
#

it was cool when we were undergeared and every piece pushed us closer to that threshold

gentle gyro
#

don't want fucked timers on xymox? hold your dps. don't want fucked timers on council? hold your dps. don't want to transition early on denny? hold your dps. in two different phases

gusty mirage
#

but now it's like just turn your character away from the boss and scroll twitter on your phone until we tell you to press buttons

#

lmao

shy dust
#

I think

fleet anchor
#

Xymox is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.

shy dust
#

The strat for xymox

#

Is now just to send it on pull

pseudo hamlet
#

How are you guys doing Mythic Council? Using Rupture+maybe Garrote on every boss? I know their HP "reloads" after each kill - but maybe that's the way for the bonus Energy?

shy dust
#

At least that’s what our officers were talking about

subtle tundra
#

slg is "hold dps" the encounter

gentle gyro
fleet anchor
#

I mean even Sludge there is sometimes a hold DPS depending on when you are pushing into his enrage relative to the pillar crash

limber lion
gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

Honestly I now hate our main tank (no, not really.. I love him) because of how many times he's said "stop DPS" this tier

#

Just makes me rage though lol

limber lion
#

Funny how Blizzard can design fights that make people hate each other lol

fleet anchor
#

Hey at least playing Assassination I can be like

#

"LOL DOTS KEEP TICKING SRY"

sleek hemlock
#

is worth to delay flagellation to use it on vendetta?

fleet anchor
#

I can be like all the Warlocks and Shadow Priests that seem to mysteriously refresh all their DoTs on every single target right before the stop DPS call πŸ€”

nova flax
#

so a few questions. we do not hold flag for vend correct? also how viable is vigor because i am SO energy starved. my haste is only 16% unbuffed tho so that is probably the issue there

limber lion
#

I love it when people complain about bursting in M+ but I'm never the one who gets flamed for it because of bleeds/poisons

fleet anchor
#

haha

limber lion
#

But yeah, don't hold flag. You can hold it if you know you won't miss a cast (ie. the last flag/vendetta cast of the fight)

sharp pawn
#

i also have 16% and im playin vigor

#

playin DS is so energi starved :S

gusty mirage
#

DS is delicate on my boomer joints

#

I like it

stoic needle
#

One day... verysadge

gusty mirage
#

we sit people to try to get everyone in the raid team at least 1 box

stoic needle
#

I can't believe I wasted my whole lockout this week for 5 pulls on sun king

#

I could've at least pugged shriek and huntsman

gusty mirage
#

oh! how'd the trial go?

stoic needle
#

They called it after 5 pulls on sun king

#

Because pugs kept leaving

#

Apparently some of their regular raiders were 'on vacation and would be back next week'

gusty mirage
subtle tundra
#

i'd leave if i joined a guild that needed pugs for raiding

#

but thats just my standards

sharp pawn
#

not many guilds are lookin for rogues atm ^^

charred mango
#

i got lucky, my old guild fell apart but i got invited to the new replacement guild

limber lion
#

Don't worry boys, just keep at it and eventually you'll find yourself a new home happyfrogpeepo

final star
#

@stoic needle Here my one

#

Just got home to log in pog

#

Might remove the helmet tho

stoic needle
#

Yeah I don't like the helmet tbh

#

I'm excited for the new sets in 9.1 to mix and match with

final star
#

I like my chest/legs

stoic needle
ebon bramble
#

man venthyr armor set so much nicer than necro lord

#

XD

sinful fable
#

How would you guys play Mythic Council? Just single target the current boss to die and just nuke add when it comes? Or do you do some cheeky multidot for energy?

final star
#

ST

limber lion
final star
#

I don't think the upkeep on that fight is worth it

limber lion
#

Basically keep garrote on cooldown, but otherwise just ST blast

sharp pawn
#

is it worth FoN to keep up deadly on the other 2?

limber lion
#

FoK you mean? No

ebon bramble
#

Fan of Nives?

sharp pawn
#

yes

#

sorry fok

strange python
#

I've got 450 haste and play ds just fine

ebon bramble
#

WHO IS NIVES

balmy condor

sharp pawn

flat crater
#

!bis

#

whats bis gear for assa?

#

thinking of swapping from sub

limber lion
balmy condor
flat crater
#

if i swap from sub to assa and go with 235 MA leggo i loose alot dps :/

#

simm

ebon bramble
#

@balmy condor what is your covenant?

balmy condor
#

I play venthyr

limber lion
final star
#

hell yeah

flat crater
#

im currently kyrian

limber lion
flat crater
#

is assa better then sub in m+?

balmy condor
#

arguably yes

#

depends what you value

flat crater
#

big dick dps

balmy condor
#

ah yes

#

that

#

does not help

#

at all

willow eagle
#

Then you go outlaw :)

balmy condor
#

also true

flat crater
#

Well, why would I go assa in m+ over sub then

balmy condor
#

cleave and fun

flat crater
#

currently renown 30 on kyrian, if im swapping i go venthyr right?

balmy condor
#

you can also go necro

#

both are fine

ebon bramble
#

no, necrolord

#

much better

balmy condor
#

sims are in the pins

ebon bramble
#

more aoe

final star
#

that's objectively bad advice IvanKEK

#

much better in your opinion

flat crater
#

renown 40 on kyrian i ment hehe

limber lion
#

Thanks for clarifying

flat crater
#

what leggo for assa in m+ and raiding then

balmy condor
flat crater
#

ah, quick question. If i swap cov to venthyr, and then bk to kyrian

#

do i have to restart at level 1 in kyrian again?

balmy condor
#

no

#

each covenant is its own thing

#

saves your progress and all

gloomy fern
#

i am sure i get the pis next time kekw

limber lion
fleet anchor
#

lol

ripe cradle
#

If you had internal bleeding you would have won

fleet anchor
#

I wish I could talk my group into giving me PIs

gloomy fern
gusty mirage
gloomy fern
#

if i had 235 isntead of 210 legy i would gain 1k dps also

limber lion
fleet anchor
#

I think our Priests are pretty much fed up with people asking them about PI

#

And basically just want it deleted at this point

gusty mirage
#

just send them gold randomly, in the subject line of the mail just put "you know...."

limber lion
#

Big agree, it's so unnecessary. xd

fleet anchor
#

I just need to run updated PI sims and see how it shakes out for Assassination and prove my case in Discord

#

And steal it from the Hunters

limber lion
#

Tbh wouldn't be surprised if Assa pulls ahead

fleet anchor
#

It probably should at least during the opener

#

imo

grim jay
#

sooo... do you guys safe flag for vendetta in raids? I see some that do and some that dont, meaning it shouldnt make much of a difference I guess?

fleet anchor
#

But not sure

gloomy fern
#

hunters are shit for pi in st at least

limber lion
#

Sims 339 dps for me

subtle tundra
limber lion
#

Let me try if I offset it by 5s actually

#

Huge 19dps increase by delaying PI for 5s

subtle tundra
#

this is what i found

gloomy fern
#

reprogress first full reclear with liek 6 trials

limber lion
#

How do MM get 500 dps from PI

#

Why is haste so good on them?

#

What do they have that makes them pop-off

round harbor
#

More abilities inside wild spirits window

fleet anchor
#

Wild Spirits

sharp pawn
#

why do i jump the dps meter when freida dies?

#

whats the dmg gain?

gusty mirage
#

a lot of padding

strange python
#

don't know why but Venthyr really feels like a damage loss. Still have to polish my priorities I guess. Still at lvl 21 though

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

!oil

gusty mirage
#

brings people down

round harbor
#

Details takes out dmg done to the other bossss

fleet anchor
#

Details has some filtering for the healing mobs

royal lantern
#

at the start of fight, shitton of passive cleave on 3 targets for many people

wet ruin
#

@fleet anchor you need to steal it from the holy paladins tbh

sharp pawn
#

oh ok

fleet anchor
#

Honestly a little surprised Assassination is still that low

charred mango
#

is there any way to have Details not reset the meter when you vanish-burst on a target dummy?

daring plover
#

EP bigger gain with pi

stoic needle
limber lion
# fleet anchor Wild Spirits

Ah not sure why I thought Wild Spirits is a 3min CD, that's why it didn't make sense to me. Why is such a giga ability on a 2min cd ionwut

limber lion
round harbor
#

Just make up fake sims that show sin the best pi target. What are they gonna do, investigate?

#

Big brain move

fleet anchor
strange python
#

has anyone done a comparison of Doomblade vs Zoldyck on execute

hollow escarp
#

1 more renown and I can try M+ Theotar PogU

sinful hound
#

Hiya everyone, I'm not sure I'm in the right place to ask but I'm new to WoW and I've been playing as a Rogue Assassin and someone said I wasn't doing very much damage when I was in a dungeon. I've been reading online what I'm meant to do but I think the max damage I do is like 700-800 on a hit and that's the Ambush one. Does anyone know where I might be able to find out more info? I've been reading icy-veins and trying to improve but I don't know if it's making any difference πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ I'm like level 46 or something like that so not very high yet!

charred mango
#

at that level it doesnt matter, as long as you are learning what the abilities do and how they work together youre good till level 60

limber lion
faint sundial
#

I think Ass scales really poorly while levelling too IIRC?

fleet anchor
strange python
#

oh shit pog

fleet anchor
#

Zoldyck should beat Doomblade for pure Execute though

limber lion
#

It does by a fairly large margin as well

charred mango
#

yeah otherwise it would never be worth using

limber lion
strange python
#

yea im interested in the margin

limber lion
#

With PI, Exsang is only 18 dps less than Alacrity (with no PI) for me :^)

strange python
#

on Sire - should I keep up bleeds on the Sword in Phase 2?

strange python
#

its sometimes really awkward to hit it properly.

#

ok

#

thank you very much

limber lion
#

Good luck buddy πŸ™‚

safe barn
#

do i use cd's on pull when in sludge?

shy dust
#

pull/2/4

#

is pretty good

strange python
flat crater
#

another question i have cleared all bosses in hc except council, will i get 220 ilevel vault?

limber lion
#

They still have the same ilvls as they do in the raid.

flat crater
#

i did get weapon token from sire

strange python
#

i gave up trying to get loot from sire, i've never once gotten an item to drop off of him and I kill him weekly

#

and my vault has never given me anything from his pool

#

and the rare occasion someone rolls their loot I roll 10-20

fleet anchor
#

You want to refresh bleeds before then

flat crater
#

i have trinket and one dagger just need the other one

safe barn
#

how does it feel to play sin vs outlaw in slg?

limber lion
#

It's great if your team has more than enough dps to deal with skirmishers/commandos and you can just blast boss

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I don't think it's inting but you won't be able to contribute to the burst DPS at all, so it depends on your comp

charred mango
#

what is inting?

limber lion
#

P3 damage could be pretty giga with Zoldyck

#

But usually that's not required, getting there is the hard part xd

fleet anchor
#

Well inting in a general sense can be looked up on Google, but in this case meaning to make a bad personal choice about spec at the cost of the success of your raid group.

#

If your group needs AoE you'll want to play Outlaw or get swapped for someone with burst AoE, but if you have enough of the right classes you'll be able to contribute to boss damage and large add cleave decently enough to not be a burden

charred mango
#

okay thank you for the info

fleet anchor
#

But it's not gonna be great for every comp

twin bolt
#

Yo guys, assassination now the way to go with 9.0.5? Havent touch my rogue for like 3 months or so - dont know if i should focus on combat rogue or assassination now, doing more raids then m+

fleet anchor
#

For my first kill I ran Outlaw but I'd probably can play Assassination on rekills because we have 3 Hunters, 2 Warlocks, a Ret, a Warrior, etc.. and the adds die instantly anyway

limber lion
limber lion
#

I swap for raid night, then I swap back after wiping for 3 hours.

fleet anchor
#

I swap spec a lot so I don't really mind at all

limber lion
#

I actually didn't have enough conduit energy last raid night to swap to CtO, so I was stuck with Lashing Scars for the whole raid kekw

#

It was miserable

#

CtO makes it so much smoother and more enjoyable to play

round harbor
#

Think last time I was sin, was season 1 bfa

#

Then season two was all outlaw rest of xpac

limber lion
fleet anchor
#

lol

#

During our sales run last night I was gonna swap to Outlaw for trash

#

And then I realized I had been testing something earlier and I was on Niya+Assassination conduits with Outlaw instead of Korayn

#

My dps was... not good

#

lol

limber lion
#

Ouch

#

It makes a huge difference honestly.

fleet anchor
#

Wasn't worth a tome, just swapped back to Assassination haha

#

It really is huge

limber lion
#

Made the right choice feelsthumbsupman

fleet anchor
#

Like dropping almost 20% damage with the wrong setup probably

limber lion
#

Missing out on Korayn and sitting at 0 renown is an awful lot

#

But then again, that was the pre-buff Venthyr so that also played a part for sure kek

fleet anchor
#

How long did it take you to get your Renown up?

plain thistle
#

renown catch up is super fast actually

limber lion
#

I was renown 21 after the first day

fleet anchor
#

Oh nice lol

plain thistle
#

go to 30 with 3-4 days (playing only after work)

limber lion
#

Then I just finished the campaign and did a m+ or two and that was it

#

But I've heard people not getting any renown from any content that they do

fleet anchor
#

Well I'm gonna keep playing with APLs before I make a decision, wanna finish with all the obvious optimizations for the new stuff

limber lion
#

There's some sort of a soft-lock in place but no one knows how it works

plain thistle
#

and I didnt run normal CN, just mythic-hc(8 boss) and 9 lfr

limber lion
plain thistle
#

6 dungeons, campaign, and daillies, gg

fleet anchor
#

I'm just on CN farm now so no real pressure to hyper optimize atm

limber lion
#

#goals

fleet anchor
#

Haha it does feel good

#

This tier has been very odd

#

Not sure I have disliked it specifically but I don't really think I have liked it much either

limber lion
#

A roller coaster for sure

#

There's a few fights that I like and only one fight that I actually despise

#

Other than that it's kinda meh

#

Nothing really grand or interesting

round harbor
#

Yeah

#

Only 390 slg pulls

#

Other than that not to bad of a tier

fleet anchor
#

SLG is really not a very good fight

limber lion
fleet anchor
#

Like the fight is so long

#

And the pacing is really annoying

round harbor
#

Wym

fleet anchor
#

It feels like you are getting nowhere for a long time

limber lion
#

Yeh and the mechanics are annoying to deal with

round harbor
#

I love litterally afking for a minute so our hunters can have wild spirits

limber lion
#

Like we had 150 pulls before we even got to touch Grashaal

fleet anchor
#

Like when the first 3 days of prog look like this

limber lion
#

Feels bad man

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I KNOW we were making progress

#

But it sure doesn't feel like it

#

lol

limber lion
#

I hope that our guild just a miracle reawakening and everyone just starts blasting and we clear it quickly

azure pewter
#

!guide

limber lion
#

The slow progress is also really bad for motivation-sake

#

Like you're not really motivated to try your hardest every pull when it's the same slow shit every time

fleet anchor
#

Xymox also is just a mega suck fight

#

imo

#

I hate almost everything about that fight

limber lion
#

Yeh not my fav either.

#

It just has a lot of mechanics to annoy you with

pallid quarry
#

is assa good for SLG?

limber lion
#

It's not reactionary or hard to deal with

#

It's always very clear what you need to do

#

And it's always a pain in the ass

round harbor
#

I like xymox

#

Play good and u win

limber lion

the thing is

#

i pvp alot

#

2.1 rating

#

but i also raid so

ruby birch
#

flat crater
#

trying to find the perfect balance

round harbor
#

I got to 2.1k as outlaw

flat crater
#

both πŸ˜„

round harbor
#

Live your best life

ruby birch
#

you gotta be the first human on earth to be 2.1 in 2s but only 2.1 in 3s in SL

flat crater
#

highest in 2s but pushing 3s

ruby birch
#

that is truly an achievement

#

just try sin out

#

its solid in pvp right now

fleet anchor
ruby birch
#

and is definitely better than sub in raiding

flat crater
#

sin = assasin

#

but i see most high rated go venthyr in pvp

round harbor
#

U forgot the raidleader asking you to clear traps with cloak

ruby birch
#

NAH MAN

#

I MADE HIM HAVE THE HUNTERS DO IT

#

MISS ME WITH THAT

#

i need cloak for ghost so i can parse

round harbor
#

Yup

#

We had three dks

fleet anchor
#

Dude force the DKs and Warriors to do it πŸ˜„

round harbor
#

If dks died I just pretend I don't have cloak

#

oh god i hate my guilds council tac i will never get a good parse

limber lion

Stealth/invis/shroud and similar mechanics are a bit buggy, especially on SD and especially on a Necro.

#

A new thing of this patch

frosty bridge
#

What would the opener for Necro be?

rocky ruin
#

Ah new feature

#

Bugg stealth

And do I even sue Ambush as necro over SBS?

πŸ˜„

simple kettle
#

I mean warcraft logs should take the percentage of dmg got by PI or any other player buff given and delete it

frosty bridge
#

lol

simple kettle
#

or do different rankings for buffed people and not buffed ppl

balmy condor
#

if you know how to remove PI damage

#

please enlighten me

And the buffs in 0.5 are mostly to the instant damage, not the dot, so Im not sure what changed

stoic needle
simple kettle
#

Yes, I think so. The problem is when they take PI, fairies, banner. And maybe a lot of people start selling parses to everyone

balmy condor
#

also not sure why it's taking double potency over gemstone

I know that some people will argue about my statement, and I'll tell you that the same argument has been putting on the table over and over when about raid ranking : Yeah people are raiding 7d/7 8+ hours a day to get into top 10, and if you want to get into that top 10 you gotta match the play time

I simmed Dslice because I'm too lazy to sim single target now

do you all expect that doomblade will remain a strong pick in both pve and pvp? i don't see any reason it wouldn't, but figured i'd ask before committing 4500 ash, as i havent played sin this expansion

its the best unless ur venthyr

Aside of Lashing Scars for Venthyr

Great thing i have it 226

whats the point in opening with mutilate in singletarget if you cast SnD next? Combopoints doesnt matter because you refresh it with Cut to the chase right?

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.

limber lion
#

Niya sims 148 dps worse for me.

sweet trellis
#

so the dmg from poison blindsite and doomblade is better then ambush? because combo points doesnt matter at all

#

if you open with ambush and snd you never have to cast snd again too

waxen nebula
#

You can do a 1cp snd and never have to cast it again

limber lion
#

But it's quite a small gain, so do what you want

I have a move called instant strike and someone said it was supposed to be used in between normal attacks

Instant strike? You mean Shadowstrike or...?

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other).

how should we open on AOE with MA legendary and subterfuge? i'm also necrolord

Ideally you'd still have snd up from previous pack

well, ive done 2 16's as assassination now, did 6k in one and 6.2k in the other (mists). Is it even worth it to multi rupture on 15-16 keys on non fortified weeks? feels like the mobs just die way too quick

Well it is

balmy condor
#

I just checked it this morning

#

and it's still true

#

with zold even

worldly bridge
#

Then the reasoning behind it must have changed. I mean the whole point was to have a better Cp per energy ratio. Now that we don't need to go 5cp SnD we can ambush for dmg and snd.

#

I get that I'm missing something but I'd like to know what

balmy condor
#

well, you have poison procs, doomblade, blindside, and the fact that 2cp slice is 18 seconds, and has the possibility of dropping

#

koji went over this earlier as well, let me try and find that

worldly bridge
#

Oh I understand the Doomblade argument alone is enough

stoic needle
#

It's a sum of all of the things

long haven
#

Did you guys went vent or necro? Can't really decide I want to play outlaw and assa but I won't raid until next tier on my rogue

stoic needle
#

That make mut better than the ~500 extra damage

balmy condor
#

this was the convo earlier

worldly bridge
#

But in m+ situation, it shouldn't be that obvious. If u don't play blindside, and/or doom

#

Thx I'll check this out

long haven
stoic needle
#

You pretty much never use ambush in m+

#

You're always opening with garottes

balmy condor
#

I can also pull up the sims I did earlier

stoic needle
#

Flag is a very satisfying button to press now

#

Hits hard and gives you fuck tons of haste

long haven
#

Hmm hard decision I might be better off with necro since I will m+ until next tier but dunno tbh

inland heath
#

why do we open with muti over ambush with MA leggo?

fallen current
#

I might swap off necro. It feels awkward to me.

#

I don’t raid however

stoic needle
#

It makes deeper strat sin very nicely paced, you go from slow moments of pooling to very fast bursts of damage

#

Venthyr is still very good for sin in m+, the haste makes your dots do more damage

Think I will sleep over it and decide tomorrow

stoic needle
#

In my opinion, going necro still isn't enough to make sin rogue compete with the giga aoe classes. I'd rather reinforce our giga single target damage

fallen current
#

Right now I’m playing outlaw

#

Gotta get better daggers

#

Good point again, it's not like we will be best aoe anyway so why not just smash hard on st

here's a quick comparison

#

it's a bit shaky

#

but you would actually not be able to tell the difference

#

without cutting the time down

#

so this is no lust

#

the only difference in that sim is that one muts, and the other ambushes from stealth

Well I will ambush then I don't like having buttons and not pressing them lol

cinder moat
#

but multilate can generate up to 4 combopoints

yeah

cinder moat
#

if it crits

balmy condor
#

I mean all the ambush stuff I've done in sims adds up to around 1%

#

but you're free to cast ambush from stealth

#

it's not a huge difference

its just not min-maxed

New question : how much of a difference between someone pooling for envenoms and someone spamming

balmy condor
#

I actually lied, it shows in a 5 min as well

potent crescent
#

are we using DS over Vigor now?

nocturne hawk
#

Cause I for one go zoomer and forget to pool lol

#

a lot

worldly bridge
#

I've recently realized that this is a huuuuuge area where I can improve. I remember the dayz envenom was more about trying to maintain 100% uptime on poison application buff

balmy condor
#

so the sim pools in 2 areas by nature

#

it pools on casting envenom, and it pools before generating

worldly bridge
#

Cuz of EP ?

balmy condor
#

cause of all sorts of things

#

flag, shiv, envenom uptime, EP uptime

#

double dose in bfa

#

pooling on envenom and generators handles all the cases

#

do you always align vanish and vendetta?

or can I safely cast vanish if I wanna wait a bit for vendetta for bl

god assa is great

worldly bridge
#

I actually expected the difference to be much higher wtf

balmy condor
#

I don't think I missed anything

#

but I'm checking

strange python
#

so without pooling there is a theoretical difference of about 25-30 dps? wtf

balmy condor
#

I've done these sims before and it was small as well

strange python
#

crazy and good to know

worldly bridge
#

Thought it could lead to a much higher uptime on envenom buff. Which means more poison procs. Maybe the difference would be more impressive running dashing / master poison / venom rush (I'm not sure these are the names in english tho)

stoic needle
#

Yeah min maxing the shiv window isn't that big of a deal

balmy condor
#

yeh no I took care of them all

#

Aight. I'm not gonna give the slightest fuck then thx 😁

strange python
#

Sin is really forgiving compared to Sub - not that this is a bad thing at all

#

really glad it is

worldly bridge
#

I see this the other way around : felt like sub was very rewarding when played correctly.

stoic needle
#

Except there isn't much of a reward

#

Not a proportional one anyway

fleet anchor
#

I mean there is always pooling.

#

Just some of it is enforced by our trrrible energy regen rate πŸ˜„

stoic needle
#

Give me that 30 dps tbh

balmy condor
#

:P

strange python
fleet anchor
#

Like the waiting time is the same either way

#

It’s just where you put it

balmy condor
#

yeah

sleek sparrow
#

My .5% dps gain krabpog POGGA

balmy condor
#

you're actually still casting the same things

#

so the only time it would ever matter is like slamming an envenom right after another envenom

#

that would be some uptime loss

#

but the only times that happen

#

is when you're in shiv anyways, and want to slam envenom regardless of uptime

worldly bridge
balmy condor
#

the weird thing about pooling is this

#

if you're slow, and pool, there's not a lot of benefit, because by the time you get the energy for the next envenom, all the overcap on buffs etc is gone

#

and if you're fast enough to get to the point where you're overcapping

#

you also have enough energy to where the overcap isn't important anymore, and you shouldn't be pooling

fleet anchor
#

The reason the DPS difference is so low is really because the uptime of Shiv is just up so much combined with Vendetta

#

The pooling conditions aren’t hit as much atm

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

that too

drowsy parcel
#

is the SBS conduit supposed to sim higher than the other assassin ones? cause it does for me

#

Pog no more well placed steel

strange python
balmy condor
#

"lets make a generator, that has a dot, and a cooldown, and has charges, that you use to aoe, but does single target damage on cast, and then make the dot portion not crit, so we can add a conduit, which then ignores armor, and also is hasted, and then buff it to be affected by mastery. Oh and make the cast a projectile, but melee. Oh and don't forget to make that melee projectile flurry"

#
  • Blizzard probably
strange python
#

if I ever come in a situation where I already have max. combo points and shiv comes off the cooldown should I spent my points before activating shiv or should I take the 1 Point loss and activate it immediatly?
