How would envenoms keep up slice and dice?

Yeh

If you've never been venthyr, the switch is instant you just gotta go through the intro stuff

ah cheers 🙂

Do you guys see any use for the Grim Kodex Trinket in ST or Dungeons? I mean is there a specific situation/setup where it could be worth? Usually I am just using 226 Skulker's and 220 Dreadfire

balmy condor
#

Grim codex is pretty garbage

we now have to stop damage on xymox because of the 5% hp nerf

How does master poisoner interact with zoldyck? Is it good combo or nah?

I see you have chosen death

#

whats prio on opener, rupture or snd?

balmy condor
#

Snd

surreal briar
#

why?

balmy condor
#

Cause it does more damage

surreal briar
#

i suppsoe xD

arctic cloud
#

more stabs = more dmg

surreal briar
#

dot plus energy regen i thought is prio

#

but fair

subtle tundra
#

low cp snd

#

not big cp

surreal briar
#

ok

balmy condor
#

Regardless of cp cost tho

#

Snd is actually giga damage

how good is PI on Assa Rogue?

balmy condor
#

It’s not unholy with army good

#

Or mage with combust good

#

But its good

opal mural
#

so no pi peepoSad

balmy condor
#

No probably not

#

You can make an argument for PI during execute if you’re running zoldyck

#

But aside from that, no

opal mural
#

ok thank you 🙂

fleet anchor
#

It's like a Dreadfire Vessel that does 20% less damage for the bonus of doing a pathetically small amount of damage to secondary targets sometimes

#

👌

Cannonball Runner was just drunk

balmy condor
#

Great trinket

fleet anchor
#

If it actually hit things

#

It would have been fine lol

balmy condor
#

Oh Midas

#

That was also a trinket

#

Apparently

fleet anchor
#

Midas was technically a trinket

#

Was also my first weekly vault reward

balmy condor

That looks like my subterfuge breakdown if you removed garrote from my bars

heady rain
balmy condor
#

It’s not that big

final star
#

This week though

heady rain
final star
#

definitely an outlaw week

#

rogue in general this week is aids

#

due to restealths

balmy condor
#

But outside of shiv/vendetta you just wait till the last moment to hit envenom

fleet anchor
#

Every week is an Outlaw week

#

😄

final star
#

Na it's more that I wanna play assassination

fleet anchor
#

As much as I enjoy Assassination in raids on a lot of fights now, I still can't bring myself to swap off Outlaw for M+

final star
#

but running NS/Subterfuge restealths so important

#

spiteful counters that

fleet anchor
#

Spiteful sucks yeah

final star
#

whereas outlaw it's way way less impactful

astral leaf
#

If I only have enough ash to make 1 legendary before denathrius prog should I make zold or doomblade for prog?

final star
#

zoldyck

last cedar
#

tbh, I've only been enjoying outlaw with MfD/MA/Killing Spree so outlaw feels just as bad not getting a re

#

^ yeah wish I saved some ash for zoldyck

astral leaf
#

Bet

nimble spoke
#

I thought DB was still considered the better raid leggo unless you specifically need the execute damage?

frosty cedar
#

outlaw feels so bad tho

#

i like how ass plays in m+ honestly

final star
#

It's almost like you specifically need the execute damage on denathrius prog monkaS

vestal wren
#

i don't like assa in m+

nimble spoke
#

Yea, better raid leggo implies more general use, not for a specific boss

final star
#

zoldyck also has use in m+

#

and it is still a decent legendary pick

nimble spoke
#

I didn't ask off of his question. I'm just seeing people start recommending zold so I was asking a general question. Just great timing, I suppose :p

limber lion
#

Assa is fun in semi-high keys 😦

hollow escarp
#

6 pulls on xymox, I get portals mid vendetta on the kill pull kekhands

final star
#

assassination plays like shit in aoe to me

#

whereas outlaw plays like shit in ST

last cedar
#

similar damage in aoe, bonkers ST

#

what's not to love?

nimble spoke
#

agreed, but my gear isn't great for sin, so maybe it feels better

final star
#

I have decently statted gear for both specs

nimble spoke
#

debating getting the ash for zold next week rather than making a 210 DB and seeing which I prefer in raid

final star
#

so it's okay for me to multispec

gloomy fern
#

i cb fucking a reprogging sludge with 6 trials

last cedar
#

CN is fun pepelaughW

mental laurel
#

Would people suggest Zoldyck or MA for mythic +? Or would it depend on tyrannical vs. fortified?

ionic kelp
last cedar
#

this week zoldyck

#

but MA had me doing nutty overall last week

#

like 6.5-7k

nimble spoke
#

guess I'm doomed to keep doing Torghast XD. I only have DB 190, have Celerity 210 and Finality 210. Don't have Zold or MA

#

I hope Blizz ups how much ash we get per week, because the current amount makes it feel like a drag and requirement for anyone who cares about more than 1 type of content that isn't a NF balance druid

fierce tulip
#

big dif for boots or legs for zolydcks?

stoic needle
mental laurel
#

Good to know. MA feels awkward on assassination anyway

iron orchid
#

imo both are good, MA offers more of a short burst profile, which can be very valuable

#

where zoldyck gives you a better overall

mental laurel
#

With MA, do you just fan twice into CT for opener?

honest lake
#

Guys ,
u think that grievous is hard for rogue?

#

I feel that i am always dying in grievous week

astral leaf
#

That sounds like a healer problem or you’re taking extra damage

iron orchid
#

in an aoe situation

halcyon zealot
#

grievous+ spiteful is a very easy combo to take much more unnecessary damage than ur accustomed to imo

mental laurel
#

Yeah but why would you play subterfuge if you were running MA? Seems to defeat the purpose

nocturne ridge
#

does doomblade mutilate damage combine into a pool that refreshes with each mutilate, or is it overwritten with each mutilate

iron orchid
#

you could setup first, then vanish in the pack and hit that fok ct fok you talk about

nocturne ridge
#

and by pool i just mean kind of how like fire mage ignite works

#

so there is no point in tab targetting mutilates

celest marlin
#

Crimson temp[est above how many targeets on m+ tis week ?

limber lion
#

You never spam it, but you want to use it even in single target.

onyx wind
#

if you dont use it on ST you arent gonna die

limber lion
#

And keep the bleed up.

onyx wind
#

but yes its good

brittle pawn
#

CT is fun in torg with 400% finisher after sstep

#

packs go poof

limber lion
#

I haven't seen that power in ages

brittle pawn
#

it was my opening power both runs today peepoHappy

limber lion
#

The only epics I get are the Flag epic one, the Adrush/Vend/SB one and the one which deals damage to blinded/sapped targets

#

meh

#

All I want is red ink + 3x chains + 400% shadowstep damage

brittle pawn
#

is the vanish exsangs power just useless solo?

nimble spoke
#

is the play to now just go Zold for M+/aoe and raid?

#

my guild just started mythic

#

I only have a 190 DB, so it's not much of a loss if it is

stoic needle

brittle pawn
#

otherwise they reset? XD

stoic needle
#

If you hit them quick enough they don't reset

astral pasture
#

when do you guys use your prepot?

stoic needle
#

It's kinda finicky though

nimble spoke
#

so I'd be fine getting a 210 DB and keeping my 210 Celerity for Outlaw M+? I find Outlaw to be a bit hectic at times, but in a good way

stoic needle
#

Sure

halcyon falcon
#

hey, for Doomblade....hands or shoulders?

stoic needle
#

hands

halcyon falcon
#

is there science behind that answer

halcyon zealot
#

SLG shoulders exist

nimble spoke
#

yea, it's in the pins

halcyon falcon
#

k lemme check, thanks....even if I don't raid?

sleek sparrow
#

then it literally makes no difference

#

same amount of stats

halcyon zealot
#

yeah and it’s really only if you have access to mythic slg since they are 233, don’t think 233 hands exist for leather if i’m not mistaken

sleek sparrow
#

yeah no gloves are avail at 233

dry tulip
#

Does shiv improves Envenom Damage?

plain thistle
#

yes sir

dry tulip
#

why is not working in duel

#

😦

plain thistle
#

it should, do you have logs or anything that shows it isnt buffing envenom?

dry tulip
#

1 sec

#

Envenom from Stealth with MA and Nighstalker

nimble spoke
#

I'm paralyzed with options, haha. I find assassination fun to play, but don't know if I should go all in with assassination for mythic+. Then again, I probably won't do much higher than 15 to 20s at any point, so maybe it doesn't really matter if I do assassination instead of outlaw in 15s

whats the best opening rotation with ma? seen a few diff variants

nimble spoke
#

mythic+ or raid?

rose jewel
#

also, what missives for doomblade?

gusty mirage
#

crit haste or haste vers, use top gear to sim which is more dps for you

rose jewel

okay, thanks!

slice and dice with six points right

gusty mirage

you can snd with any amount of points now that envenom adds duration to it

halcyon zealot
#

mut > snd > forget about it

weary patrol
#

i have a small brain so

halcyon zealot
#

is my strat

knotty sparrow
#

I just mut snd opening doesn’t matter if it’s 2 points or 4

#

Envenom will keep it alive

halcyon zealot
#

i lowkey get mad when my first mut crits

iron orchid
halcyon zealot
#

feels like a waste, even tho it’s not

knotty sparrow
#

Juicy mut crits with doomblade feels nice

#

Like ur carving up a turkey for thanksgiving

ornate dawn
#

This looking right for a MA Doomblade opener

Mutilate, Slice and Dice, Mutilate, Garrote, Flagellation, Rupture, Vendetta, Mutilate, Mutilate, Shiv, Vanish, Envenom, Mutilate, Mutilate, Envenom ?

halcyon zealot
#

close to mine i move vendetta to after the 2x mut, vendetta early might be the play though

knotty sparrow
#

I would go garrote rupture shiv before flag rupture

#

Shiv during flag is a waste

iron orchid
knotty sparrow
#

Actually don’t rupture before flag

#

Rupture should be your first flag cp dump I think

#

My bad

plain thistle
languid grail
#

and ambush?

limber lion
#

So if you have Shiv on your target, you blast Envenom's only.

#

Outside of that you reapply ruptures/CT

knotty sparrow
plain thistle
#

and vendetta anywhere in there, its off gcd

knotty sparrow
#

Unless blindside

#

Only ambush off blindside procs never to open

languid grail
#

but if im on stealth

sleek sparrow
#

You don't press ambush

knotty sparrow
#

Stealth to mut is better than stealth to ambush

#

To apply poisons and get 4 CP

Guys For Mythic+ Zoldyck+ MA talent or Master assassin Lego + Subterfuge/ nightstalker ?

Gar gar gar boys

allright i will go mut

how sthe opener btw Marked for death into Crimson tempest?

languid grail
#

and wich is better for m+. Zoldyck or doomblade lego>?

stoic needle
#

Zoldyck

knotty sparrow
#

Don’t think it’s wise otherwise

languid grail
#

i saw a lot of guys running doomblade

stoic needle
limber lion
glass root
#

i mean cleave opener 😄 btw whats FOK

knotty sparrow
#

4 gars???

limber lion
#

Probably doesn't make much of a difference honestly

stoic needle
#

You end up energy starved

#

Big sadge

limber lion
#

But just do a 3cp rup then

#

Small ruptures are pog

stoic needle
knotty sparrow
#

FoK rupture tab FoK rupture tab FoK rupture tab etc

#

Gar when it’s off CD

stoic needle
#

Yeah I guess you could do 3cp rupture mfd CT

languid grail
#

cuz i have 5k essence, and i want to swap to assa for the memes

limber lion
#

I would recommend putting up 4-5 bleeds, be it 2-3 cp ruptures even

knotty sparrow
limber lion
#

But if you're applying ruptures after that, you should do 4-5 cp ones

stoic needle
#

Depends tbh

knotty sparrow
#

4-5 cp rupture is excessive on trash I think

stoic needle
#

It's rare that they live that long

knotty sparrow
#

Too long not worth it, trash dies pretty quick

limber lion
#

Not sure what keys you're doing

#

But definitely doesn't in my keys

#

Especially on Fort

stoic needle
#

Well yeah fort is a bit different

#

But I'm doing 15s and 16s

knotty sparrow
#

5 cp rupture is how long again? Like 30 seconds?

ornate dawn
#

24

languid grail
#

my problem with zoldyck its it seems like you only do dps when adds reach 30% hp

knotty sparrow
#

That’s pretty long especially if you have a mage combusting

limber lion
#

because if you do 1cp ruptures, you can have a max of 3 of those up

#

Which is bad

#

Instead of doing longer ruptures and having more of them up

brisk drum
#

just switched to sin for sludgefist prog, anyone mind reviewing my log? we didnt get a kill but on our closest pull im miles off high parses so i figure im doing something wrong

limber lion
#

Of course if they die and you lose out on 20s it's not worth

#

But more ruptures = better

stoic needle
languid grail
#

oh

#

and last question

#

what its the adds opener

#

is*

stoic needle
#

Triple garotte rupture mfd ct

#

Or triple garotte fok CT fok into ruptures

#

Without mfd

icy crater
#

do you guys multi dot on council mythic for funnel?

#

and low cp rup attend or just rip evenoms?

stoic needle
#

Just 1 garotte on the nearest

subtle gyro
#

Well placed Steel over Lashing? Am i reading that right?

zinc frost
#

First necro raid last night since swapping, felt great no regrets from leaving the dirty vamps.

stoic needle
#

Lashing > wps

subtle gyro
#

was my understanding.. 🙂

zinc frost
#

Yeah felt good competing with some of the big dogs of cleave.. all I heard was “wtf rogue is good?”

stoic needle
#

Ngl I love that we have 3 whole viable covenants now

noble ridge
#

Hmm so Necro or Venth for PvP?

stoic needle
#

Probably venthyr

gleaming stratus
#

Anyone else had an issue on council where [Dauntless Duelist] just doesn't apply to next target at all

rapid stratus
#

Anyone have any luck playing sin on M Council?

gloomy fern
#

its good, should top boss dmg

gleaming stratus
#

yeah i usually top on boss damage unless mechanics hinder you a lot

#

which shouldn't really if you play it correctly

glass root
#

i just tried posion bomb vigor elaborate alacrity in a mist 13 did 4.5k overall with 210 gear

#

gonna try something difrent now in halls will let you know the dps xd

rapid stratus
#

Aight imma try it out tonight progging, we seem to be struggling a bit getting those last few %.

gloomy fern
#

its pretty bad vs attendants though so hope u got range guildies who actually swap and kill it before it reaches boss like they should

#

(mine dont)

rapid stratus
#

yea thats what im worried about

#

OL kinda pumps attendants

strange python
#

Do you guys use envenom on 4 cp? Or you always go to 5-6? (With ds talented)

keen tree
#

What’s the minimum number of mobs at which you start to use FoK instead of Mut? 2?

strange python
#

Or is it worth to use one more mutilate to do it with 6?

#

Talking about a raid boss, 5-7 minutes fight

zinc frost
# noble ridge Hmm so Necro or Venth for PvP?

Both very viable, been playing necro in 2s and feels veryyyy good. SBS gives us a nice ranged dot and can crit for something sweet. Reworked Fleshcraft also gives us a decent defensive and IMO much better than door of shadows. But I played both since 9.0.5 and both are strong.

strange python
#

!guide

strange python
#

4+ cp, does this mean 4 or + or + than 4?

#

Isn’t a 4cp envenom weak?

brittle pawn
#

i think i just had a stroke reading that

strange python
#

Bro I’m just asking for learn ^^

brittle pawn
#

then ask something that makes sense

strange python
#

Envenom, use at 4 cp or not?

brittle pawn
#

if you have vigor or mfd

carmine fulcrum
#

!bis

strange python
#

No, with ds

brittle pawn
#

you dont mutilate 1 under cap

strange python
#

I was meaning with ds, is it worth to cast 1 more mutilate or not?

stoic needle
#

The rule is always max or max-1

strange python
#

Okay

#

Thank you so much

Do I put cleave dots on the sword during beginning p2 heroic denathrius?

Do I put cleave dots on adds as well on p2?

wind totem
strange python

are you using ambush?

pliant apex
frail fossil
#

yes she'll come and go

#

so just put it back when u see her

pliant apex
#

Do I put a dot or two on adds as well?

wind totem
#

depends how long they live.

deft quiver
#

Should you try to space out envenoms as much as possible without capping on energy? Or just spam them and overlap the dot?

wind totem
#

Personally I dont bother since they get blown up too quickly

frail fossil
#

you can put low cp rupture

pliant apex
#

I see thanks friend

#

I got low green log on den sadly

#

Last week

stoic needle

Right? Lmao

pliant apex

**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

frail fossil
#

i would doubt that

candid jasper
#

Are those stat weights up to date? haste/vers for sin?

pliant apex
wind totem
#

Honestly the only reason to use zoldyck at this point is if p3 dps is too low

candid jasper
#

(as far as legendary goes)

wind totem
#

otherwise doomblade is overall better

frail fossil
candid jasper
#

i.e. if I put haste vers on my legendary, is that unwise?

frail fossil
#

only hc fights where zoldyck should be better is like council where u got 3 execute and like huntsman since u got adds

wind totem
#

And even then I'm not sure how much better it is.

pliant apex
#

Yea since my log was shit with Zol I say fuck it I’ll use doom

frail fossil
#

but nothing in sire lives long enough for zol to be meaningful

#

so doom should be more damage

pliant apex
#

Very helpful guys thanks much

#

I’ll just use doom all bosses

wind totem
#

Quick question. As a NF rogue is it worth using ambush with the sepsis proc when I dont have Blindside?

subtle tundra
#

no

frail fossil
#

i would recommend zold on huntsman/council at least

#

i mean idk

#

both are fine

#

tbf

#

u can just doomblade everything

pliant apex
subtle tundra
#

quick rupture for energy

frail fossil
#

the dogs

pliant apex
#

I hardly cleave them

stoic needle
frail fossil
#

i mean u put dots on them right

#

u need to keep ur dots on the dogs

wind totem
#

I personally don't bother since they literally disappear in 3 seconds when they get gripped.

pliant apex
#

Onlyon opener , then they scramble

wind totem
#

lol no

frail fossil
#

that's not good

wind totem
#

you run to them and refresh dots

pliant apex
#

Ohh

wind totem
#

😄

frail fossil
#

u need to have ur dots always on the adds

pliant apex
#

Ohh icic

#

So chase them, put dots then get back to huntsman

deft quiver
pliant apex
#

Is there an add on I can use to set focus on adds? For checking dots?

frail fossil
#

i mean they should be close to the boss

#

at least 2 of them are tanked with the boss

#

so u dont have to run to them

wind totem
pliant apex
#

Oh , also on council zoldyck is better ?

wind totem
#

Debatable. Top loggers still massively favour doomblade.

stoic needle
candid jasper
#

Necrolord with doom sounds pretty nice

deft quiver
frail fossil
#

on council

pliant roost
#

anyone have the mutliate/ambush macro?

wind totem
#

On mythic council yeah but that's because you really need to burn the last guy

#

mythic council is a very specific case imo.

pliant apex
#

It would really help if some can tell opening rotation for huntsman, I often put dots after blowing vendetta/vanish/sepsis and using envenoms

Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.

its better to let people learn why it feels bad to use

#

imo

frail fossil
#

i just fail to understand how u missing binds as assa, and why would you go thru a convoluted way instead of just binding it properly

pliant apex
#

How do I open on huntsman, do I not blow cds till dots up on huntsman and dog?

#

Um hello?

zinc frost
#

Hello!

pliant apex
#

Hey!

frail fossil
#

afaik put dot on both target and then vendetta on one

pliant apex
#

Ah ok

#

Can rogues immune sin seeker p2 and 3 on huntsman mythic?

frail fossil
#

they can immune the dot

#

not the initial hit

hollow escarp
#

so you can ask for a bop

#

or just have 4 mages and 3 hunters in main roster OkayChamping

heady bluff
#

where do i find sin openers/rotations?

pliant apex
#

Since I don’t want to cast vanish less than 4 Cp, do I always cast a mut before vendetta on opener, since sepsis and shiv will give only 2 dots total?

dawn belfry
#

is there a sim script for more people using memory of the past sins?

Or can opener vanish be less than 4cp?

Yeh

Lethal?

Or wps

balmy condor

Uh, probably lethal imo

shy dust

Aight

balmy condor

But wps is a little more burst

shy dust
#

Nadja too im guessing

balmy condor
#

So probably also fine

#

Yeh

#

Let me know if the cc reduction works on the add slashy slashy

#

Probably doesn’t

#

But would be sick

#

Yes, constantly

#

Whenever you’re out of shiv, you pool on envenom

dawn bronze
#

Hm? So how does dauntless work exactly?

fallen current
#

Exactly as it says

dawn bronze
#

Does vanish reset it on a raid boss fight? What if you vanish and open on an add, is he your duelist now even after death because he was your first opponen?

balmy condor
#

Shiv on cooldown

#

When shiv is up, you slam shiv

balmy condor
#

The first thing you hit is your adversary

#

And that’s until you die, or it dies

dawn bronze
#

So hit Altimor etc.

Hello. I am new to Rogue. I prefer to play Assassination. How close is Assassination to Outlaw in M+? I'm assuming if I played Assassination in M+, I would just be hurting myself?

I know people will say, "Play whatever you want" - but I don't want to be gimping myself hard just because I prefer Assassination. Just trying to figure out if they are close, or if Outlaw just blows Assassination out of the water in M+. Thank you!

drifting ingot
#

outlaw is really fun in m+ and does pump

balmy condor
#

Just like I’ve said, when shiv is on cooldown

#

No

#

Okay let’s do an example maybe

#

Shiv has 10 seconds left until it comes up

#

You mutilate twice, now you’re at 5/6 cp

#

And 20 energy

#

You will sit there, and wait

#

And when you get close to full energy, you envenom

#

Now same situation, but shiv comes up in like 3 seconds

#

You’re not going to cap on energy before shiv comes up

#

Shiv comes up, you slam the shiv, and then pound envenoms

#

Same situation, but shiv is already up

#

You’re at 20 energy, you slam the shiv anyway

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

Because shiv on cooldown

#

So the rule is that you wait to cast envenom, whenever you cannot cast shiv

#

You don’t want to overcap anything, but you don’t want to just spam it

#

Because pooling before an envenom solves all your pooling problems forever

queen galleon
#

Another unsuccessful night in sludge PepeHands

balmy condor
#

If you only pool before shiv, you don’t pool for vendetta, or flag

cerulean kernel
#

Better to hold Ven until Shiv is off cd than vice versa? assuming no dmg amp windows etc?

balmy condor
#

If you’re in lust, and you don’t pool on envenom, get a lucky crit, now you clip the envenom buff

#

So you avoid all the situations

#

By pooling on envenom

#

Well there is pandemic

#

But you can still clip it

#

But it’s just a very simple rule

#

To pool on envenom

#

Rather than “pool 5 seconds before shiv and 3 seconds before vend and 4 seconds before flag and make sure to have 4 cp at least and” etc

#

Max - 25

#

Yup

#

Cause it’s giga min-max

#

And not useful to know as a general player

#

Well that’s an opinion

#

And that’s why you’re here :P

#

But the overwhelming portion of the community isn’t like that

#

It’s between 0.5-1%

proud ledge
#

is assa still a wheelchair, or is it viable in m+ ThinkingFace

#

i dont wanna play combat

#

its so fuckin boring

stoic needle
#

its been viable for a while now

blazing arrow
#

@balmy condor tbh I learned something from this. I wasn't worried about clipping envenom

balmy condor
#

Ever since they fixed the pandemic thing

#

It’s been a non-issue most of the time

#

The time where it matters is during high-energy moments when you’re forced to cast envenoms anyway because you’re overcapping

#

But those are also the moments where you shouldn’t be pooling to begin with

#

So it’s whatever

blazing arrow
#

Ye

dark basalt
#

good point

blazing arrow
#

Do you pool for rupture

proud ledge
#

so zoldyck for m+ or should i just do doomblade

blazing arrow
#

Like if garrote coming on pandemic in a few seconds. Poom for garrote > rupture

balmy condor
agile geode
#

should i synch vendetta with flag?

balmy condor
#

But that actually doesn’t make a difference if you think about it

#

Cause you’re refreshing in pandemic both times

#

The only time that would make a difference to pool is waiting to refresh before a sludge pillar or something

blazing arrow
#

I find it easier to manage shiv windows and not cutting garrote/rupture close.

balmy condor
#

Yeah for sure

#

It’s completely neutral

#

Is the point

Should I be using MA leggo or Doomblade?

balmy condor

You also vendetta’d on pull

stoic needle
#

MA is also fine for sludge

balmy condor
#

But that looks like 3 pillars to me

stoic needle
#

if you dont have doom yet

balmy condor
#

Uptimes are a little low as well

arctic juniper
#

Okay so open with mutilate and NOT ambush?

balmy condor
#

So I’m gonna say that you’re not comfortable with the rotation in general, played it like you would hungering, and then the pillar damage wasn’t there

balmy condor
#

Ambush only from a blindside proc

void pecan
#

ambush for sepsis drop off too no?

#

not for him, us.. uh other people who haven't switched yet

balmy condor
#

Subterfuge is trash on that fight

#

this biggest loss is the Van on pull and not pillar slam

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Cooldowns misplaced, slice not cast

#

And the wrong talent

arctic juniper
#

Okay so mutilate and then SD right after

balmy condor
#

That adds up

cerulean kernel
#

Whispyr caught it off the bat

hazy ruin
#

Does anyone have a macro where mutilate and ambush share the same button but will ambush when in stealth or have proc instead?

safe barn
hazy ruin
#

well its similar to the sub one where shadow strike and backstab share same button

#

i guess i could just copy pasta that and change the names of spells

prisma monolithBOT
#

Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.

Uhm is there anything i have to do with poisons besides of applying them?

2-2.5%

#

With so many applications it shouldnt be that high

civic trellis
#

Yeah, pooling at 2.1

balmy condor

That sounds like envenom uptime to me

hazy ruin
#

yea ill just do them where Shift-1 is ambush and 1 is mut

#

im still setting up everything for assas

so it fits perfectly

I tried to ask this over in Outlaw, but they seemed confused. Why isn’t numbing poison viewed like a major raid-wide buff? 15% slower auto attack and casting damage from bosses seems kinda important.

balmy condor
#

cause it's not that important

#

also warlocks do it better

green peak
#

Do Warlock curses override it?

balmy condor
#

no, it stacks

#

but it's just not that important at that point

safe nacelle
#

What's the standard AoE rotation? Would you use vanish to extend the Subterfuge damage buff on your bleeds?

balmy condor
#

warlocks don't even both casting it most of the time

green peak
#

Maybe on Sludgefist? His auto attacks hurt bad

balmy condor
#

in total

plucky veldt
#

soo quick question i know it may sound stupid but its a serious question.. from poisons tht counts as nature damge, which counts as magic damage right? and if so does tht mean with Nightborne racial it would give poisons 1% increased damage?

green peak
#

I’ll take it!

balmy condor
#

I mean yeah

#

we take it

#

but it's not anything to write home about

drifting cloud
#

what theres no way that math is right

#

isnt his base attack like 1.5s

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

but there's weird swing timer jank where it cancels autos to cast stuff

#

when you slow it down

#

numbing and CoW start to make some serious nonsense happen

drifting cloud
drifting cloud
#

oh I guess hes also stunned like 50s of the fight

balmy condor
#

works on envenom as well

plucky veldt
#

interesting....

feral merlin
#

dood i got changling on my lock last week and now i got phial on my rogue just now

#

what is going on

safe nacelle
#

You're stealing my luck is what's happening. I've eclipsed 40 runs on MIST and still no dagger.

prisma crescent
#

@balmy condor Can you elaborate on the "serious nonsense" that happens when you stack numbing and CoW?

balmy condor
#

when you change swing timings on bosses, they start to cancel auto's for casts

#

and auto during casts

#

and that kind of shit

prisma crescent
#

Ah ok, I've been using numbing and our warlock has been using CoW on our sludgefist progression

balmy condor
#

because blizzard spaghetti knows no bounds

prisma crescent
#

Is that not recommended

balmy condor
#

no you definitely should do that

#

it won't do anything bad or whatever

#

I doubt your tanks would even notice

#

it's just the math behind it struggling

#

also the cast speed part of numbing just doesn't work

#

because I guess that would break things too much

#

sun king shields or slg adds

#

so half of the ability just doesn't work

#

even though it says it should

#

but that gets swept under the rug because "normal" players just won't notice I guess

prisma crescent
#

That's pretty interesting information.

balmy condor
#

it's also kinda unknown if the attack speed stuff works on every boss

#

we know for sure that it works on sludge

#

and we know that it works on sire

#

but there's been conflicting information about it working or not working on something like slg

#

we just kinda assume that it works

#

because if it works on something, it should work on the similar thing

#

but I can't actually confirm that it works on all the bosses

#

also CoW and numbing, which say that they do the same thing, are actually different ID's

#

which is how they stack in the first place

#

but that also means that numbing and CoW, while they should be identical, just aren't

#

and no one really knows how that affects numbing

prisma crescent
#

I feel like that's definitely something Blizzard should look into

#

I just know thats going to end up breaking an encounter somewhere

balmy condor
#

yeah probably

#

if they decide to make an energy per auto type thing

#

then it can get a little whack

thank u

#

do you reapply crimson tempest before it's in pandemic?

slow marsh
#

only if there's over 8 i believe

balmy condor
#

but usually just do it in pandemic

weak horizon
#

Should I just envenom then instead of recasting crimson tempest outside pandemic if all my ruptures are also outside pandemic?

#

Or wait until something is in pandemic

balmy condor
#

usually that means the end of a pack

#

because in like a 5 pack, you can't possibly generate enough cp to maintain 5 ruptures, 3 garrotes, and CT at the same time

weak horizon
#

Very true

#

I've really only managed to do that on 3 packs

balmy condor
#

if it's 4 cp finishers, you would have 15-20 seconds from casting the first rupture, to then cast 4 more, and 2 CT's

#

and while that's possible, it's pretty unlikely

#

#Fok2cpbaselinepl0x

stoic needle
weak horizon
#

Do I prioritize ruptures or ct?

#

Like on pull

balmy condor
#

depends on the pull

livid temple
#

so after 3 hours of wiping on sludge prog this is literally the most dumb fight ive ever done as melee

stoic needle
balmy condor
# weak horizon Do I prioritize ruptures or ct?

I'll tell you that the sim priority is

  1. garrote setup for exsang
  2. rupture setup for exsang
  3. subt garrote
  4. slice
  5. non-subt garote
  6. crimson tempest on 2+
  7. rupture
  8. crimson tempest on 1 while not in shiv
  9. envenom
