#

one has to hit first

kind talon
#

and not and then

balmy condor
#

also tooltips omegalul

kind talon
#

i mean the logic for me is that

#

combo points should be awarded after the cast is complete

balmy condor
#

okay

#

and when is the cast complete

kind talon
#

or after the hit registers

#

rather

#

and due to the wording of the tooltip

#

as the hit registers, there should be a dot on the target

shut garnet
#

theorycrafting tooltips stronk

stoic needle
#

Deathspike flurry's days are numbered peeporiot

balmy condor
kind talon
balmy condor
#

throw dagger

#

is also a projectile

#

also applies a dot

#

and gives a cp

#

throw dagger gives a cp on cast, hits, and then applies poisons

kind talon
#

yeah but it doesnt apply MORE cp based on applying poisons

balmy condor
#

it's not about that

#

the whole discussion is order of operations

#

it doesn't matter what it does

#

it matters the order

kind talon
#

ok so if they wanted to make it consistent

balmy condor
#

there was a famous bug in antorus where the dot applied first, and caused all sorts of nonsense

loud light
#

don't you dare say they would've worded the tooltip better

#

we know they wouldn't

balmy condor
#

so they had to change it to hit first, apply dot second

kind talon
#

then why didnt they code it like poisoned knife?

balmy condor
#

because they're blizzard

kind talon
#

but i know for a fact that on subsequent applications on multiple targets, it is consistent

balmy condor
#

consistently wrong, yes

loud light
#

I dare you to look at what main gauche actually does for outlaw and read its tooltip

stoic needle
#

In general poybro you would do well to not trust blizzard tooltips

#

At all

#

For anything

#

Or any reason

#

They lie

kind talon
#

dont trust tooltips for any reason?

#

ok ill use a sword mainhand and play assa

balmy condor
#

I am well aware that sbs gives 1 cp, and then calculates the additional CP on hit

#

but that's simply not how anything else works

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

and I have no reason to believe that it should be intended that it actually calculates it's own dot

stoic needle
#

I mean not that literally just like the ability descriptions, they're notoriously inconsistent

wise fiber
#

So. 1 question. on council we knives or mutilate priority?

balmy condor
kind talon
stoic needle
#

And how is it different from that in practice

kind talon
#

its not

stoic needle
kind talon
#

no clue

fleet anchor
#

The damage is surprisingly kinda reasonable considering how one-dimensional it is

#

Given that the legendary is literally zdps in ST

loud light
fleet anchor
#

Like this was just initial testing last night

#

It's really not even that busted on DungeonSlice given that it's like.. a 10% DPS loss on bosses

#

It's a pretty solid and cool legendary for AoE usage but not quite as broken as it sounds

kind talon
fleet anchor
#

Realistically Assassination gains almost as much from the fact that the DoT scales from Mastery

kind talon
#

or dmg calculations

#

just shows a number

fleet anchor
#

And Bonesmith has a new trait to give us an extremely large Mastery buff on pull

#

Carver's Eye is basically +760 Mastery for ~6-8 seconds on pull with Bone Spike DoTs on every single target in the pull lol

gusty mirage
#

@stoic needle Oshtradamus is right

#

I can't believe it

merry comet
#

gus do u hold flag to align with vendetta or use on cd? seems like i do 100 more dps if i do stuff on cd and not hold flag

gusty mirage
#

use on cd

gusty mirage
#

only sync if you won't lose a cast (so like at the tail end of the fight)

merry comet
#

will check

#

thanks 🙂

silver shore
#

shoulder and hands have same stat weights correct? so it doesnt really matter what I put doomblade on right?

gusty mirage
#

no prob bob

merry comet
#

hands if u have acess to 233

shut garnet
#

depends if u have access to mythic slg @silver shore

gusty mirage
#

@silver shore if you don't ever see yourself being able to get the 233 shoulders off SLG, doesn't matter

fleet anchor
#

Yes this is pretty much correct as far as I can observe. It's clearly a travel time race condition wrt server ticks.

silver shore
#

oh yeah im not getting mythic SLG this tier

fleet anchor
#

It actually happens with the Torghast trait as well

balmy condor
#

yeah

fleet anchor
#

The +500% damage one or whatever

#

Sometimes it works on the DoT

balmy condor
#

the torg trait is fucked

fleet anchor
#

Sometimes it works on the DD

#

It is 100% inconsistent

#

Even at the same range, it is basically just random

fleet anchor
# kind talon bro tooltips dont explain scaling

The tooltip for MG is completely incorrect. It's literally never been an OH attack and the way it calculates damage is not reflected by the tooltip at all. WoW tooltips are mostly lying liars that shouldn't be trusted. 😛

north cobalt
#

do you use crimson tempest on ST if you have it?

fleet anchor
#

Sometimes

balmy condor
north cobalt
#

so shiv > tempest?

kind talon
#

the way it calculates damage is bad

balmy condor
#

non shiv envenom < tempest

kind talon
#

but thats not a tooltip issue imo

fleet anchor
#

Shiv doesn't and is an OH attack

#

Fewer MH attacks trigger MG than don't trigger MG

kind talon
#

true

fleet anchor
#

The tooltips are all crap for Rogues 😄

#

Testing is the only way to know how anything works lol

kind talon
#

appreciate it

fleet anchor
#

I just spent 2 hours today trying to figure out what does and doesn't work with the bastard Shadow Blades procs from the new NF legendary

kind talon
#

could u help me figure out whats happening with sbs

royal lantern
#

doesnt matter wich class

kind talon
#

why is it consistent on subsequent applications

fleet anchor
#

Shadow Blades doesn't work with Mutilate due to how the spell data is set up which is big sad

kind talon
#

but not on the first and only the first?

fleet anchor
#

Because it depends on if the server thinks the DoT is applied at the time the CP gen is calculated or not

fleet anchor
#

It's a server race condition

#

There's no way to influence or predict it

#

We literally have it implemented as a 50/50 dice roll in SimC 🤣

final fossil
#

How's that Venthyr leggo looking?

kind talon
#

yeah but koji

#

its consistent

fleet anchor
#

Fairly strong but too buggy

kind talon
#

on multitarget

balmy condor
kind talon
#

its only 50/50 on the first sbs

fleet anchor
#

Doubt it will beat Doom

#

Maybe BiS ST potential for the other two specs

#

When the bugs are fixed

#

But hard to say

final fossil
#

Does the bleed from doom scale like Ignite? Or does it just refresh

fleet anchor
#

Ignite

final fossil
#

noice

kind talon
#

koji why is it only on the first application though

#

like its been bugging me

#

for a long time

fleet anchor
#

I mean I'm not totally sure that is true wrt to the extra 1 CP you may or may not get on subsequent casts. I'd have to look at logs to check. Honestly could just be it's harder to notice because you are already going to get 4-5 CP per cast on the second target.

kind talon
#

i play otl in dungeons where this is most impactful

#

so no seal fate

#

but in most that i can recall, it consistently gives you the 'extra' cp on multitarget

fleet anchor
#

I mean here seems to be a case where it's messing up on secondary targets

#

4 CP the cast before

#

3 CP the next cast

#

Same number of affected targets

stoic needle
kind talon
#

is this for an assassination rogue?

#

oh

#

garrote

#

LMFAO

#

wait so

#

how many active spikes

#

before the first application

#

one on kaal?

fleet anchor
#

It's basically always gonna be 50/50 as to if it counts the 1 from the target you are applying it on if they don't yet have a DoT

kind talon
#

oh

#

ye

stoic needle
#

Why is there no mastery emoji

kind talon
#

holy fuck

#

its so annoying

#

just make it consistent

stoic needle
#

Blizzard? Consistent? KEKWW

low girder
#

what emoji would you have for mastery

stoic needle
#

How long have you been playing wow @kind talon

fleet anchor
stoic needle
#

The one from the armory

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

Hold on

balmy condor
#

I usually just let him live out his mastery fantasies in the corner and eventually he gets quiet

fleet anchor
#

sin isn't this the Mastery icon?

stoic needle
#

dis

fleet anchor
shut garnet
#

mastery is the subtlety meme

stoic needle
#

Sure but that's also the spec icon

shut garnet
#

this is the 34% crit channel

stoic needle
#

Sorry buddy we are riding the mastery stacking deathspike train to the top of the m+ charts

shut garnet
#

or "what iz hastecap"

low girder
#

126%

kind talon
#

true

fleet anchor
fleet anchor
#

the only rotation you need to know

gusty mirage
#

9.1 looks fun OMEGAKEKW

low girder
#

it's nightstalker time baby

stoic needle
stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

sir this is a wendy's

kind talon
#

whats the hitbox of ct

#

never used it

gusty mirage
#

yes

kind talon
#

ty

fleet anchor
#

Same as FoK

gusty mirage
#

it's got a pretty big range

stoic needle
#

Big

kind talon
#

HUGE

gusty mirage
#

yuge*

kind talon
#

yugito

gusty mirage
#

I think its like 10 yards

kind talon
#

you just ct on dogs for huntsman right

#

like, not shades

fleet anchor
#

It's 10 yard AoE which is slightly larger than 10 yards

kind talon
#

just mut shades or do u also ct?

shut garnet
#

is playing ep ds ct actually a thing like

#

do u ever get to envenom

gusty mirage
shut garnet
#

i havent played sin this tier legit question kekl

fleet anchor
#

AoE gets a special bonus of 1.5y

stoic needle
#

Yes you do

kind talon
#

yes

gusty mirage
#

ah

#

makes sense cuz 10 yards seemed a little smaller than its reach

fleet anchor
#

AoE also gets more range when you're moving

stoic needle
#

Ct doesn't lower envenom casts that much

fleet anchor
#

Or jumping for that matter

stoic needle
fleet anchor
#

Which is somewhat hilarious

low girder
#

jump in rotation in large packs

kind talon
low girder
stoic needle
#

I deadass jump while fok and ct in m+

low girder
#

you're a melee

gusty mirage
low girder
#

not jumping is a dps loss

#

except on sludgefist

#

don't be that guy

fleet anchor
#

Yeah it's actually kinda true for AoE

stoic needle
#

I learned it in classic actually

fleet anchor
#

I did it all the time on N'zoth

stoic needle
#

When fighting frost mages

gusty mirage
#

classic omegalul

low girder
#

or sire p1 actually. jumping pulls you out of the 1yd range if you want to stack with someone kekW

hollow venture
#

Good call I'd forgotten about some of the oddities with bliz and hit boxes

stoic needle
#

It was a thing back then and it's still there now

kind talon
#

do you ever play ct blindside?

#

is it a thing on sire?

fleet anchor
#

Yes

low girder
#

i do

stoic needle
#

I think if you were optimizing for the execute phase it would work fine

kind talon
#

are there any other fights?

fleet anchor
#

Probably not

kind talon
#

slg?

low girder
#

yeah not that i can think of

fleet anchor
#

On SLG you run EP

low girder
#

slg you'd just go EP

kind talon
#

ok

stoic needle
#

I think I'm going to drop subt on slg

fleet anchor
#

The only reason I run Blindside on Sire is P3

stoic needle
#

Since nothing lives the duration of the subt garotte

kind talon
#

ye

#

im just thinking like

stoic needle
#

And I'm just pumping boss/goliath anyway

kind talon
#

can i just put CT where my ambush is

#

and call it a day for now

stoic needle
#

Yeah don't do that

#

Put it on shift+rupture

kind talon
#

until i prog sire

fleet anchor
stoic needle
#

What do I look like, a sub player?

fleet anchor
#

Let's be reasonable here

kind talon
#

shift mouse3

#

pog

stoic needle
#

Shift+rupture because it's an aoe bleed, duh

#

St = normal, shift = aoe

low girder
#

what's alt

stoic needle
#

Defensives

#

And tricks

low girder
#

hmm

stoic needle
#

And other cooldowns

#

I mean technically those are on the d-pad kekw

low girder
#

lmao

stoic needle
#

But they're bound to alt

#

Need 3 key foot pedal for vendetta vanish PTT

gusty mirage
#

...

stoic needle
#

Don't be salty because you're in 2021 and I'm in 3021

low girder
gusty mirage
#

I hate it here

wide bolt
#

IS EP + Vigor always better on mythic sludge? or is it just a parser thing?

gusty mirage
#

yea

#

more on demand damage for the pillars

stoic needle
#

Yes it's always better

wide bolt
#

figured just feels a little slow at times and was secretly hoping it wasnt actually better lol

stoic needle
#

I play ep+vigor on every fight now (necro gang) and it doesn't feel slow at all idk

#

Only a 10 dps loss over bs/ds

#

But I kind of like blindside and the execute it gives

wide bolt
#

blindside feels so nice in execute

#

yea

stoic needle
#

I'm not sure whether to go bs/vig or ep/vig for sire

heavy trail
#

Last boss on TOP, for the adds and stuff do you try and dot them up or leave them to say hunters or other better AOE classes? just trying to understand the best strat as I suppose I lose a bunch of dps (and it's usually the most even with guys higher than me) on ST if I run around a lot on that fight. any thoughts ?

gusty mirage
#

just focus on your own add tbh and hope your group isn't a bunch of potatoes

stoic needle
heavy trail
#

Ok that make sense then

balmy condor
#

I pool a kidney and then sbs all of them, envenom mfd envenom

#

and mines dead

stoic needle
#

If one is out of the group casting I'll blind it but that's about it

#

That seems like.... A lot

heavy trail
#

I guess on this 9 the issue wasn't my add it's that the other dps wasn't even botherng with them too much

balmy condor
#

on a NINE?

heavy trail
#

9 key

balmy condor
#

could probably ignore the adds entirely on a 9

#

that's a yikes

stoic needle
#

Why kidney? I'd rather mfd/sbs it and envenoms into the boss

cobalt pelican
#

hey stop key level snobbery

#

punk

heavy trail
#

It's the first 9 I have ever done lol sorry there elitism personffied 🙂

stoic needle
#

Guess it doesn't matter much

balmy condor
#

there's an affix missing in that key

stoic needle
#

I topped dps in my last top with doomblade PB kekw

balmy condor
#

I don't think calling a 9 a low key is all that elite

#

but idk

#

maybe I am a prick

gusty mirage
#

idk blizz's keylevel color for it is blue

#

blue level gear is hardly elite

stoic needle
#

All keys are valid

gusty mirage
#

blizzard = prick CONFIRMED?

stoic needle
#

Is the key itself blue?

gusty mirage
#

on the scoreboard ye

#

9 is actually harder than a 10

stoic needle
#

Ohh yeah

gusty mirage
#

fun enough

low girder
#

they have colours for the scoreboard?

stoic needle
#

Facts

low girder
#

oh wait they do

stoic needle
#

Being stuck in 9s was literal hell

heavy trail
#

It is a low key but I am trying to learn and get better and this channel helps a ton it's just "the cringe" when you got guys putting emojis and "yikes" for dungeons I haven't gone high in...

gusty mirage
#

nah dude you're fine

royal lantern
#

that explains sub

gusty mirage
#

OOF

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

TOO SOON

heavy trail
#

I am also playing with well, let's face it, inferior players even for my low experience lol since I generally outperformed them overall

balmy condor
#

it's not yikes to you, it's yikes that your group isn't capable of handling the adds on a 9

stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

but for real just bonespike the adds last boss and focus on you

#

assuming you're necro

heavy trail
#

yes

gusty mirage
#

if you're not, kill yours, and dot up any close to you and focus boss

balmy condor
#

the fact that you're here, asking questions, is already pog

heavy trail
#

I actually did that saved some charges for that lol

balmy condor
#

but like, find some better teammates

cobalt pelican
#

for reference in normal groups the ads don't usually live long enough for my boomer hands to even press mfd

balmy condor
#

yeh relatable

stoic needle
#

Just get younger 4head

royal lantern
#

just click MfD

like a real zoomer

#

hi @cobalt pelican

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

get a high enough ping to where you overflow, and get negative ping, so you can react before the mechanic even happens

cobalt pelican
#

helo

gusty mirage
#

I'll report back

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

ddos myself

#

so I can react slower

stoic needle
#

Just suck some virgin blood to restore your youth venthyr

drifting cloud
#

can you start shitposting in ot again please ty

cobalt pelican
#

mayb sometimes

heavy trail
#

Anyway thanks. Will have some better thoughts at least.

We will do superior dps during mechanics

And pump in m+

balmy condor
#

actually a well documented fact that I have personal vendettas to all 99,463 members in this server

gusty mirage
#

to be fair, we probably deserve it

#

esp osh

stoic needle
#

This is oppression

good thing we have moroes to have a personal vendetta against whispyr

if osh was in an ASPCA commercial, I still would fast forward without second guessing my own morals

I'm going to make my avatar a picture of my crit/mastery deathspike gloves

And I didn't have heirmir gemstones

I thought mastery was supposed to help prop up your DPS while you were doing mechanics OMEGAKEKW

#

my only 9.0.5 parse is a 19 kekW

SLG outlaw with a death

gusty mirage
#

my parses have gotten significantly worse the more we reclear

#

and idgaf

low girder
#

we take those

stoic needle
low girder
#

fuck that fight

stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

should I level my priest?

#

be your PI bot?

stoic needle
uneven plume
stoic needle
#

I miss my old key group

uneven plume
#

we did it boyz

#

M sludge finally down

stoic needle
#

I'd get PI on CD

gusty mirage
stoic needle
#

Huge

low girder
#

how much of a salary are you paying him

#

or her

gusty mirage
#

my priest who gives me PI is going to be gone until 9.1 pepehands

stoic needle
#

0

low girder
#

impressive

stoic needle
#

My io is past theirs now and they aren't doing keys as much sadge

uneven plume
#

we tried SLG today

#

shit is intense lmao

#

but outlaw seems so much easier on that fight

low girder
#

oh you meant old key group

#

thought you meant now

#

lol

#

i was like how tf do you get PI on cd in a guild if you're not whispyr

stoic needle
#

I have faith we will get the squad back together

#

Oh no lmao I haven't gotten a single PI in my guild yet

#

I might be able to convince them for p3 on sire

#

I need to prep the execute phase sims

drifting cloud
#

well the priest is probably

#

not in your realm

#

unless you have 2

low girder
#

might still be better on a DK idk

stoic needle
#

Not without army

low girder
#

they'd have army

drifting cloud
#

then you lose a PI cast

low girder
#

comes up around 8:30

drifting cloud
#

if you do it during their army

low girder
#

well yeah

stoic needle
#

How long does p3 last? Can't you get 2 vendettas?

#

So I could get pi on the 2nd

drifting cloud
#

easily

cobalt pelican
#

3min10 or something

low girder
#

yeah

royal lantern
#

ye, somewhat 3min

drifting cloud
#

but yeah like I said priest prolly not in your realm lol

cobalt pelican
#

you get a 2nd ca convoke if you press it just as it phases, very important rogue tip!!

stoic needle
#

Ohhh now I see what you mean by realm

#

Damn that's gonna fuck it up

cobalt pelican
#

get him to pre-pi you before you go through the mirror

#

big value

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

yuge

stoic needle
#

I swear to God if we don't re-clear after we down sire

#

And I have an 8% on sludgefist forever bro

drifting cloud
#

depends when you kill him I guess

stoic needle
#

Malding Stonks

drifting cloud
#

if its a few weeks before patch its possible you dont

stoic needle
#

We just started on slg this week

#

So probably at least another 2 before we down it

drifting cloud
#

hmm just getting ce will be a challenge then

stoic needle
#

And then another 3 for sire

low girder
#

ngl

cobalt pelican
#

i imagine even post nerf sire is still less pulls than slg for most guilds

low girder
#

not to like, shit on your parade

#

might be 3 on slg

#

did sire even get nerfed?

stoic needle
#

We'll see where we are by the end of our next raid tomorrow

low girder
#

i don't remember any

cobalt pelican
#

bad england

drifting cloud
#

problem its hard to gaige guild skill when youve just hotten to slg

cobalt pelican
#

post slg nerfs

low girder
#

oh lol

drifting cloud
#

like its entirely possible you dont kill sire no offense

stoic needle
#

Yeah that's true

drifting cloud
#

because I dont see sire getting 2k kills in the next 10ish weeks before 9.1

#

but you might just jump 1k ranks on last 2

low girder
#

all depends on slg

#

if you kill it in 2

#

you can def down sire

stoic needle
#

I can't say that our guild is a bunch of insane players but they aren't total dogshit either

low girder
#

do they hold dps when told

stoic needle
#

They formed late in the tier

drifting cloud
#

thats a good sign I guess

stoic needle
#

We'll see, I haven't been in on any fights where you need to hold

drifting cloud
#

how many sludge wipes

low girder
#

fair

#

it's all on last 2

stoic needle
#

I think it took us like 110 pulls?

low girder
#

xymox got fixed

drifting cloud
#

hmm maybe a little high

#

but not terrible

cobalt pelican
#

what did they even do to xymox

#

i buried my head in the sand all tier

low girder
#

i forget exactly but they fixed his timer resets somehow

#

when you phase

drifting cloud
#

his timers dont break between phases

low girder
#

ye

drifting cloud
#

and dot hurts less

cobalt pelican
#

o

#

nice

drifting cloud
#

but if you blast him super fast on opener 1st ghost

#

are still wack

low girder
#

gonna be weird af when we get back to him

#

haven't seen that dude in 3 months

#

lmao

i'm kinda scared of our reclears

we had so many people quit mid tier

#

and not raided in a couple weeks

#

likely gonna be a giant shitshow

#

I typically run outlaw in keys ( sometimes I do assassin for fun) but mostly raid assassin. I have a doomblade Lego, should I also make zoldlyk for a few raid fights and the occasional key as assassin? Which ones and is it worth the make for in raid?

drifting cloud
#

but I just get all the loot in vault anyways lol

#

helm, ring, vessel, dagger so far

my rogue hasn't killed either of last 2 so i'm scammed

i use cloak 2s before dying to a 100k shadow damage hit

stoic needle
#

And potentially good for fights in the new tier

drifting cloud
#

cloak doesnt work on p3 massacres

#

never has

#

why? we dont know

#

ask a blizz intern

stoic needle
#

Because fuck rogues that's why

scenic root
drifting cloud
#

zoldy is also good on slg but if you play both spec playing outlaw is probably better

stoic needle
#

Assassination does very similar damage to Outlaw in m+ and can be preferred for some dungeons where there is a single target or low target cleave focus

#

Like theater of pain is def a sin dungeon imo

#

Plaguefall

#

I have been lucky for most part with gear and can run both sets. My stats aren't amazingly optimized but have the weapons to run both specs.

stoic needle
#

I think sin might be better for giga pulling in ardenweald DOS too but don't quote me on that

scenic root
#

I am very use to the outlaw playstyle of never stop, full send everything, that I don't always pool energy and CDs well for assassin. Like savings energy for shiv windows, or when to vanish in opener or hold for vendetta.

Probably

#

I main Outlaw but wanted to learn sin to try on 1-2 target fights

#

While it works in more I just do not like how Sin's Multi Target works

stoic needle
#

it's pretty much the opposite of outlaw gameplay wise which is funny

mossy sable
#

Or Sub's tbh

stoic needle
#

sin's multi target is one of the most fun parts of the spec but to each their own i guess

mossy sable
#

Sin is better than Sub imo

#

Idk why I hate Black Powder so much

#

And I am fine like multi dotting

#

I hate CT

stoic needle
#

black powder is a dogshit ability

#

should be deleted

mossy sable
#

CT is what I hate about Sin

stoic needle
#

why?

mossy sable
#

I do't like the playstyle of Build w/ Fan spend on CT

stoic needle

you don't though

you use it only once every few finishers

it's a dot not something to be spammed

Hmm

Do you run MFD with it

Or DS?

You generally wouldn't want to spread 5-6cp ruptures in aoe either right? Like maybe 1 or 2 targets in certain keys/packs but feel it would be a wasted talent for the overall dungeon.

CT's animation is dumb

you keep crimson tempest up

is the strat to Shiv for the 4th/5th CP into CT then start dumping Envenoms with max Uptime on Rupture/Garrote?

what I do

Yes

How do you optimize CT in ST (p3 sire)

balmy condor

CT before movement, and never during shiv

#

otherwise maintain

#

There you go

#

Sorry for ping im not confident enough in my assa to answer shit like that

balmy condor
#

np

fallen arch
#

Why run CT at all on Sire tho?

balmy condor
#

rather get a ping than fix wrong answers

fallen arch
#

For more dps in p1?

low girder
#

better in p1 and p2

jagged bobcat
#

Mythic Sire in particular

balmy condor
strange python
#

Theres an argument to be made for CT in p3

balmy condor
#

with zoldyck, CT is within like 20 dps for p3

balmy condor
#

so the ability to just dot and move

#

is worth it

strange python
#

Theres also blood prices in p3

low girder
#

the argument is harder to make with doomblade

#

imo

Which makes ct better

low girder

in p3 specifically

fallen arch

Imagine being able to combine zoldyck and DB peepoguns

@balmy condor do they do the same dmg comparing on logs? Then you gotta include that one costs cp

low girder
#

the top parsers are running EP/vigor with it as well

it's for cleave in p2 for the most part

which isn't a hard check to make

fallow otter
#

Yeh

low girder
#

if you're going for a first kill i wouldn't necessarily recommend it

fallow otter
#

I mean, I'm sure it's mainly for parse bois but I can see why people would want to use it for p3

#

I don't think I would use on prog

I would

#

Because i’d be using zoldyck on prog as well

all depends on comp

if you're running zoldyck yeah you just run CT

it's a no-brainer

fallow otter

Yep

gloomy knoll
#

honestly

low girder
#

i don't think there's room for debate on it with zoldyck

the best prog build would probably be blindside + zdicks + ct

that's what i'm doing lol

for maximum p3

i gotta say

#

cast if name, use if slot number---I believe

final fossil
#

Yeah, use 14 is working

#

Thanks for the assist

gusty mirage
#

plus makes it easier if you ever switch out trinkets

#

just put the other on-use in that same slot

#

don't need to change macros

compact pumice
#

If you shift+click the item it will put in the whole use/cast string, in the case you don’t want to use pvp trinket even if it’s the slot 13 when popping Vendetta

#

I just put in all my trinkets I wanna use in a row, with Blood Fury, with Vendetta or something so some long cd trinkets go in that macro and others go in a more spammed ability if it doesn’t line up with another big cd exactly.

stoic needle
#

i dont like having trinkets macroed to vendetta especially for M+ because sometimes you want to use a trinket on a big pull but save vendetta for pride

#

i don't like the lack of flexibility

compact pumice
#

Yeah I agree. But you can have trinket bound to several macros and or pop it by its lonesome. But if you are popping vendetta you usually want to pop some trinkets if you have them on and available

#

I have some trinkets bound to many macros

#

And I have the trinket bound to a regular keybind too, such as #showtooltip /use 13

So how are the cov leggos looking thus far?

compact pumice
# rotund wigeon trying to optimise my sludgefist dmg

But the phrasing of the question is weird. Like all of the things you listed contributes to Envenom doing more damage and will contribute during each Sludgefist pillar. Doesn’t necessarily mean that agi pot will make you do more damage during that window, but it will make your envenom hit harder.

rotund wigeon
#

and my burst is build on envenom, right? so my burst on the pillars are basically a "how high my envenom hit" thing?

#

because you try to prepare everything for do as much dmg as possible with envenom in this pillar-phases?

compact pumice
#

Why only focus on envenom though? All damage you do in that window matters. So elaborate planning increases Envenom damage but also all other damage done during that period

rotund wigeon
#

yes sure

#

lets reconsider my question:

  • I try to optimise my overall dmg and pillar burst
  • Also, I try to understand why all of my dmg is lower as the dmg of the other rogue i compared to, which resulted in elaborate plan vs. blindside
#

🙂

compact pumice
#

I’d say since you can pool energy before pillar and you would have to be real lucky for blindside to do more damage during the pillar, but it can happen. Though EP is a lot more reliable.

#

Agi pot sharpening stones are also more reliable during that window

rotund wigeon
#

makes total sense, yes ❤️

Have they said what the hell happens if you make a covenant lego and you change covenants? 😫

weak talon
#

It just starts to collect dust in your bank I guess. Why would you use it without cov ability?

compact pumice
#

Unless they have made it so you make "one covenant legendary" and it swaps depending on your covenant.

#

That would be an ideal solution tbh, but too logical to be implemented the first time around, probably in 9.2 after a bit of complaints first sadge

weak talon
#

Naah that solution would make you less doing boring shit like torghast

#

If Necro Doomspike can reach Venthyr Singletarget Performance then that will be the new meta for Assa likely I think

compact pumice
#

Well yeah, if it's even close, since it would outdps on multi target by so much

storm hedge
#

I do it too. As long as you don't let it drop it's fine. I sometimes argue with myself if it's worth it to envenom during shiv if it means that rupture won't be up for a very short time. But that's just a marginal difference. Since Rupture does more dmg per cast than Envenom it is propably better to use it over Envenom. In sims Rupture gets refreshed even during shiv window. Garrote should never be a problem imo. @rotund wigeon

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

#

Hello, can one (aka me) get tips based on logs from yesterday's raid pliz? 🙂

foggy moat
#

do we wanna go full ST for m+ this week? or is AoE still worth it

frosty anchor
#

As far as I’m aware the ST build isn’t THAT much ahead in sims but you lose a lot more outside of bosses by going ST. IMO not worth it but going doomblade could be for certain dungeons (ToP for example)

sick scarab
#

going dashing for low keys is a good compromise for aoe and single targhet when trash are not fortified

#

as low i mean 15

#

more up you go more zoldick kicks in

#

full single targhet wiht dashing and PB

vast forum
#

isn't zoldyck just superior for m+?

swift dragon
#

yes

#

M+ leggos is zoldyck>scoundrel>doomblade

swift dragon
#

subterfuge and iron wire are just too good for dungeons

#

being able to stop mobs from casting for 10 seconds each each pack is kinda nutty

frigid kestrel
#

uhhh what?

#

3 seconds

stoic needle
#

It's 6 with iron wire

#

3 base + 3 talent

frigid kestrel
#

ye

#

but not 10

stoic needle
#

And yeah, zoldyck is pretty much always going to be better than dashing and doomblade

#

We don't have enough crit to even get the benefit from dashing most of the time because most of our cp is spent on ct and bleeds

#

And pb is just worse than ct in 7/8 dungeons. You lose to much overall. And going pb at the moment is the only way to get decent evenom uptime in a key

#

You're inting your overall dps for more crit chance on your Poisons and evenom and pb. It's not an even trade

#

Like sure you can time a 15 with dashing but it's not helping you do that

#

At least doomblade has some minor value when you aren't able to evenom

#

Maybe in a tier or two then we get insane stuff like that 200 crit rating ring

#

For low keys, if anything, you should run MA

#

The ns ct ma build kicks ass in low keys

winter vapor
#

I feel pepoples definition of 'low' keys is very different to mine xD

frozen drift
#

I would have to disagree with you immensely. Doomblade, at least in raid content, has proven to be a boon in dps. Didnt realize it until I had another Assassin Rogue in raid group and they outdpsed me. I was doing 4.7k and they were it 5.3k. They were 12 ilvls lower and the only difference was doomblade leather hands. Fashioned a set with the excess soul ash i had. I was doing 5.2k steady after that. And the zoldyck leggos i had were at 235 ilvl. the doomblade hands i fashioned were at 190 and I STILL did more dps.

We're talking about keys not raids
