and not and then
also tooltips omegalul
i mean the logic for me is that
combo points should be awarded after the cast is complete
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
theorycrafting tooltips stronk
Deathspike flurry's days are numbered 
but that's in direct opposition to similar effects
what are some similar effects ?
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
yeah but it doesnt apply MORE cp based on applying poisons
it's not about that
the whole discussion is order of operations
it doesn't matter what it does
it matters the order
ok so if they wanted to make it consistent
there was a famous bug in antorus where the dot applied first, and caused all sorts of nonsense
so they had to change it to hit first, apply dot second
then why didnt they code it like poisoned knife?
because they're blizzard
but i know for a fact that on subsequent applications on multiple targets, it is consistent
consistently wrong, yes
I dare you to look at what main gauche actually does for outlaw and read its tooltip
In general poybro you would do well to not trust blizzard tooltips
At all
For anything
Or any reason
They lie
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
Wait what does it actually do
and I have no reason to believe that it should be intended that it actually calculates it's own dot
I mean not that literally just like the ability descriptions, they're notoriously inconsistent
So. 1 question. on council we knives or mutilate priority?
you fok on 4
And how is it different from that in practice
its not
What does this comment mean then
no clue
Honestly Deathspike isn't even that much stronger than MA even Flurrying
The damage is surprisingly kinda reasonable considering how one-dimensional it is
Given that the legendary is literally zdps in ST
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
bro tooltips dont explain scaling
Realistically Assassination gains almost as much from the fact that the DoT scales from Mastery
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
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
use on cd
pins answers that :)
only sync if you won't lose a cast (so like at the tail end of the fight)
shoulder and hands have same stat weights correct? so it doesnt really matter what I put doomblade on right?
no prob bob
hands if u have acess to 233
depends if u have access to mythic slg @silver shore
@silver shore if you don't ever see yourself being able to get the 233 shoulders off SLG, doesn't matter
Yes this is pretty much correct as far as I can observe. It's clearly a travel time race condition wrt server ticks.
oh yeah im not getting mythic SLG this tier
It actually happens with the Torghast trait as well
yeah
the torg trait is fucked
Sometimes it works on the DD
It is 100% inconsistent
Even at the same range, it is basically just random
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. 😛
do you use crimson tempest on ST if you have it?
Sometimes
out of shiv
it procs Combat Potency though
so shiv > tempest?
the way it calculates damage is bad
but thats not a tooltip issue imo
I mean Pistol Shot procs combat potency too and isn't an OH attack 😄
Shiv doesn't and is an OH attack
Fewer MH attacks trigger MG than don't trigger MG
true
The tooltips are all crap for Rogues 😄
Testing is the only way to know how anything works lol
appreciate it
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
could u help me figure out whats happening with sbs
*tooltips are all crap
doesnt matter wich class
why is it consistent on subsequent applications
Shadow Blades doesn't work with Mutilate due to how the spell data is set up which is big sad
but not on the first and only the first?
Because it depends on if the server thinks the DoT is applied at the time the CP gen is calculated or not
fae lego is ZDPS

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 🤣
How's that Venthyr leggo looking?
Fairly strong but too buggy
on multitarget
worse than doom
its only 50/50 on the first sbs
Doubt it will beat Doom
Maybe BiS ST potential for the other two specs
When the bugs are fixed
But hard to say
Does the bleed from doom scale like Ignite? Or does it just refresh
Ignite
noice
koji why is it only on the first application though
like its been bugging me
for a long time
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.
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
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
The same situation repeats in the next tier as well fyi wrt higher ilvl shoulders
is this for an assassination rogue?
oh
garrote
LMFAO
wait so
how many active spikes
before the first application
one on kaal?
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

Why is there no mastery emoji
Blizzard? Consistent? 
what emoji would you have for mastery
How long have you been playing wow @kind talon
Mastery emoji?! lol
The one from the armory
he's the hachadino of sin don't mind him
Hold on
I usually just let him live out his mastery fantasies in the corner and eventually he gets quiet
isn't this the Mastery icon?

mastery is the subtlety meme
Sure but that's also the spec icon
this is the 34% crit channel
Sorry buddy we are riding the mastery stacking deathspike train to the top of the m+ charts
or "what iz hastecap"
true

too bad it flurries
the only rotation you need to know
9.1 looks fun 
it's nightstalker time baby

Sir this is the Assassination channel
sir this is a wendy's
yes
ty
Same as FoK
it's got a pretty big range
Big
HUGE
yuge*
yugito
I think its like 10 yards
It's 10 yard AoE which is slightly larger than 10 yards
just mut shades or do u also ct?
I wonder if its melee range + 10 yards
i havent played sin this tier legit question 
AoE gets a special bonus of 1.5y
Yes you do
yes
AoE also gets more range when you're moving
Ct doesn't lower envenom casts that much
Or jumping for that matter
Good ol' leeway
Which is somewhat hilarious
jump in rotation in large packs


I deadass jump while fok and ct in m+
you're a melee

Yeah it's actually kinda true for AoE
I learned it in classic actually
I did it all the time on N'zoth
When fighting frost mages
classic 
or sire p1 actually. jumping pulls you out of the 1yd range if you want to stack with someone 
Good call I'd forgotten about some of the oddities with bliz and hit boxes
It was a thing back then and it's still there now
Yes
i do
I think if you were optimizing for the execute phase it would work fine
are there any other fights?
Probably not
slg?
yeah not that i can think of
On SLG you run EP
slg you'd just go EP
ok
I think I'm going to drop subt on slg
The only reason I run Blindside on Sire is P3
Since nothing lives the duration of the subt garotte
And I'm just pumping boss/goliath anyway
until i prog sire
Shift-FoK like c'mon now
What do I look like, a sub player?
Let's be reasonable here
what's alt
hmm
lmao
...
Don't be salty because you're in 2021 and I'm in 3021

I hate it here
IS EP + Vigor always better on mythic sludge? or is it just a parser thing?
Yes it's always better
figured just feels a little slow at times and was secretly hoping it wasnt actually better lol
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
I'm not sure whether to go bs/vig or ep/vig for sire
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 ?
just focus on your own add tbh and hope your group isn't a bunch of potatoes
I garotte and kick the one closest to me and just fok them all to funnel envenoms into the boss
yeh this
Ok that make sense then
If one is out of the group casting I'll blind it but that's about it
That seems like.... A lot
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
9 key
Why kidney? I'd rather mfd/sbs it and envenoms into the boss
It's the first 9 I have ever done lol sorry there elitism personffied 🙂
Guess it doesn't matter much
I topped dps in my last top with doomblade PB 
All keys are valid
blizzard = prick CONFIRMED?
Is the key itself blue?
Ohh yeah
fun enough
they have colours for the scoreboard?
Facts
oh wait they do
Being stuck in 9s was literal hell
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...
nah dude you're fine
blue=no worth confirmed?
that explains sub
OOF

TOO SOON
I am also playing with well, let's face it, inferior players even for my low experience lol since I generally outperformed them overall
it's not yikes to you, it's yikes that your group isn't capable of handling the adds on a 9
In fact we, (whyspir) are the cringers
but for real just bonespike the adds last boss and focus on you
assuming you're necro
yes
if you're not, kill yours, and dot up any close to you and focus boss
the fact that you're here, asking questions, is already pog
I actually did that saved some charges for that lol
but like, find some better teammates
for reference in normal groups the ads don't usually live long enough for my boomer hands to even press mfd
I feel that 😦
yeh relatable
Just get younger 4head
hi @cobalt pelican
haven't considered that
get a high enough ping to where you overflow, and get negative ping, so you can react before the mechanic even happens
helo
I'll report back

HUGE BRAIN
ddos myself
so I can react slower
Just suck some virgin blood to restore your youth 
can you start shitposting in ot again please ty
mayb sometimes
Anyway thanks. Will have some better thoughts at least.
i am on my journey to becoming a Hearthstone eSports Athlete
I too have achieved the rank of so called legend
feel free to ask any and all questions, we're a friendly bunch just a bit trolly sometimes
and its only a 4 decimal number
except to @stoic needle we troll him for liking mastery a lot
i hit rank 10 in hearthstone once

i'm a very elite gamer
9.1
except me, I will maul you in the street like the cold blooded vengeful predator I am
a lesson I've learned numerous times 
actually a well documented fact that I have personal vendettas to all 99,463 members in this server
This is oppression
good thing we have moroes to have a personal vendetta against whispyr
Statist CFs
diamonds are created under extreme pressure young padawan
oh yeah for sure, that guy doesn't deserve any compassion

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
well, just got CE
gz
gz
hey man

CE is CE
parse doesn't mean shit, you got CE
ENHANCED
are you top3 p3
get that weird AI bullshit thingy from earlier
then you are forgiven


NEURAL ENHANCEMENT FOR PEPEGA QUALITY
I parsed an 8 on our sludge kill 
I'm top 4 sire dmg, does that count?
yes
The fucking 1st pillar soak was out of melee range 
OMEGALUL
And I didn't have heirmir gemstones
I thought mastery was supposed to help prop up your DPS while you were doing mechanics 
we take those
No you see I need a PI while soaking
fuck that fight


I miss my old key group
I'd get PI on CD
grats my dude, gl on the hell that is SLG
Huge
my priest who gives me PI is going to be gone until 9.1 
0
impressive
My io is past theirs now and they aren't doing keys as much 
we tried SLG today
shit is intense lmao
but outlaw seems so much easier on that fight
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
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
might still be better on a DK idk
Not without army
they'd have army
then you lose a PI cast
comes up around 8:30
if you do it during their army
well yeah
easily
3min10 or something
yeah
ye, somewhat 3min
but yeah like I said priest prolly not in your realm lol
you get a 2nd ca convoke if you press it just as it phases, very important rogue tip!!

yuge
I swear to God if we don't re-clear after we down sire
And I have an 8% on sludgefist forever bro
depends when you kill him I guess
Malding 
if its a few weeks before patch its possible you dont
hmm just getting ce will be a challenge then
And then another 3 for sire
ngl
i imagine even post nerf sire is still less pulls than slg for most guilds
We'll see where we are by the end of our next raid tomorrow
i don't remember any
bad england
problem its hard to gaige guild skill when youve just hotten to slg
post slg nerfs
oh lol
like its entirely possible you dont kill sire no offense
Yeah that's true
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
I can't say that our guild is a bunch of insane players but they aren't total dogshit either
do they hold dps when told
They formed late in the tier
thats a good sign I guess
We'll see, I haven't been in on any fights where you need to hold
how many sludge wipes
I think it took us like 110 pulls?
xymox got fixed
his timers dont break between phases
ye
and dot hurts less
Reprog 
im reproging a different boss every week
this week its slg and prolly not killing sire because missing people monday
Rip
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?
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'm just gonna get druid loot forever and be hardstuck
can someone help me understand this? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WwchrBzC9btZ1AP7#fight=3&type=deaths&death=12
Zoldyck is bis for keys and is good for sire denathrius
i use cloak 2s before dying to a 100k shadow damage hit
And potentially good for fights in the new tier
cloak doesnt work on p3 massacres
never has
why? we dont know
ask a blizz intern
Because fuck rogues that's why
Thanks, I'll work on making it. We are on council now so not sure we will get to sire but if we do I should have the Lego by then. And if ever I feel there is a need to run assassin for keys over outlaw.
zoldy is also good on slg but if you play both spec playing outlaw is probably better
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.
I think sin might be better for giga pulling in ardenweald DOS too but don't quote me on that
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.
When did this convo kick off again haha
Which convo? The sin vs outlaw damage in m+?
wearing necro mog 
nice mog 
Ya so like
I just got it
Just finished the campaign
So I am wearing it until I get bored
🤮
everything

you'll get there
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
it's pretty much the opposite of outlaw gameplay wise which is funny
Or Sub's tbh
sin's multi target is one of the most fun parts of the spec but to each their own i guess
Sin is better than Sub imo
Idk why I hate Black Powder so much
And I am fine like multi dotting
I hate CT
CT is what I hate about Sin
why?
I do't like the playstyle of Build w/ Fan spend on CT
you don't though
you use it only once every few finishers
it's a dot not something to be spammed
vigor
even in bis gear its not worth it
Fair
@mossy sable I suck at rogue
So far I can get 4.5dps on a target dummy
like entirely
Have mostly played outlaw this expac, tried sin in a couple of dungeons, with doomblade and zoldyck, and I fuckin love it
I kinda wanna learn also so I am not a 1 trick
I have no alts
Well none at max level
My highest is 57
I like that I don't feel so RNGed
With outlaw I'm so hot and cold
One dungeon great, next dungeon meh af
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fdYouxGUNE2GYocUGBybVB
Huh guess I am not doing horrible
Without changing the gameplay really
only thing you're doing horrible is keeping that mog, but we love you anyway

IF

sin is more fun than outlaw in m+
Sub Rogues like to sit there
sorry pirates but it's a fact
warmode has been wild this expac lmao
#CowardModeForLife
Maybe
I really like how outlaw feels,a nd love gouge. But I definitely get screwed with rolls
idk I've grown to like outlol in m+
just my hands hurt after a long session
also I crafted the zoldyk for no reason people won't take me to their 13s and 14s 
yes
much

lmfao his name is the best part
This is true
My hands do be flying across my keyboard
I forget to Tricks more as Law than Sin
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
yeah pretty much, unless you're doing really high keys nothing is gonna live the duration of a 6cp rupture
you're wrong and that's okay
It looks like it belongs in classic
!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
Im the opposite coz outlaw is my m+ spec
i'd like it if it was more like bloody crescent blades and a little more detailed
than the kind of cartoony version it is rn but is still good
Outlaw is my M+ spec too
Just kinda looks 8-bitty
yea not super detailed
I may Hate the Ability, but this is Truth
tbh CT needs a better sound effect
and yeah the blades could be more red
like if it had the shadowlands venthyr blood magic particles
that would be sickl
Better looking than Black Powder
the sound is pretty shit tbh
Naw, black powder doesn't look nearly as N64 as CT
But it's boring
I guess
I'd rather boring and appropriate than some weird Brendan Small Home Movies design
It's auto pilot for me after a pack, when playing ww I was pressing the bind for weeks
When I switched
Ah
Thats me with F1
Post pack I hit F1
As I used to Play Druid and now play Rogue
Travel form?
F is my INTERRUPT BUTTON TOO
I miss enjoying the current raid
I miss Enjoying WoW
First few Weeks of SL where epic
Then 3 became 10
And now months
It can be
But I never get gear from it
And even if I did
I can't do jack shit with it until I +15 everything
If you're 220+, there's very little gear in it.
And nobody wants me.........
Ah, well, go +15 everything
That's 90% of pugging atm
2k io ww, nearly 1600 rogue, 1400 hunter, 1400 warrior, 1300ish druid and DH. 90% of keys fall apart.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/8AFm7MhwRgQKNfyj/#fight=19&type=damage-done
that was my try x.x i already have timed this fight
seeing lots of people running Vigor on denathrius. DS sims higher for me. should i swap to vigor
so is the move on council to simply switch to outlaw
cause im finding it impossible to do anything lol
i play mfd lol
yeah council sucks on assa imo
yeah
sure, that fight is purely ST but spec feels weird man idk
after my ramp is finished the boss has a shield
then after the shield i have to do the dance
so like 9 times out of 10 my vendetta gets wasted cause i cant touch the boss because nobody on my team knows what a stutter step is
you have to push your own keys tbh
Yep unless you have folks to carry you gotta at least get some keys completed on time. Sometimes it's kind of silly you have the key level 3 chest but they still don't want to take you..
How long are you waiting to vendetta on opener
You can also play sub on council
If your objective is to deal damage to the boss
You will also contribute good damage to attendants
Can someone send a link or answer my question for Crimson Tempest, for Phase 3 Sire. how am i able to min/max Crimson Tempest for Single Target
Running doomblade
Bleed +5% Envenom
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)
There you go
Sorry for ping im not confident enough in my assa to answer shit like that
np
Why run CT at all on Sire tho?
rather get a ping than fix wrong answers
For more dps in p1?
better in p1 and p2
Mythic Sire in particular
CT is very close to PB in single target, and PB is a very small aoe, if sire moves, PB is rip, if you move, no PB
Theres an argument to be made for CT in p3
with zoldyck, CT is within like 20 dps for p3
Ah k, clear
Theres also blood prices in p3
Which makes ct better
in p3 specifically
Imagine being able to combine zoldyck and DB 
I don't really think it's a debate, CT sounds better in every way, once you do the fight you realise he's never still
Yea but its still feelcraft
Poison bombs superiority in ST is supported by a sim
Me saying CT is better on p3 sire is based on nothing numerical lol
Purely feels
time for heavymovementexecutepatchwerk
@balmy condor do they do the same dmg comparing on logs? Then you gotta include that one costs cp
top parsers are Doomblade with PB/CT
Hence CP cost? Lol
All g
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
Yeh
if you're going for a first kill i wouldn't necessarily recommend it
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
all depends on comp
you get like 0 uptime on p3
cause hes constantly moving
because the boss moves 24/7
Can you not macro Dreadfire Vessel with Flagellation?
Should be able to
you can
Yep
honestly
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
what do you average in p3
outside of p2
oh yea the builds shit
but execute prob giga
Seems good for prog kills
i kinda wanna try how hard i can ram execute
especially since i don't care about my parse cuz i'm rank 1

Do you get a 2nd vend yet
get a nice PI and you can probably break 8k
Yup
i'll try zdicks next week i'm gonna see how much p3 dam i can do lol
I'm using
/use Dreadfire Vessel
/cast Flagellation
and it's only casting Flagellation
I copy pasted what I had
Did u try use 13 or 14 aka itemslot ?
Try doing /use 13 or 14
For trinket slots
/cast Dreadfire Vessel
Oh there you are
cast if name, use if slot number---I believe
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
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.
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
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?
Cause the venthyr and Necrolord ones look absolutely bonkers for raid/m+ respectively
Venthyr one doesn't seem to beat Doomblade from preliminary sims
Doomspike seems fuckin insane tho
what's go to cov for us atm
See pins
Doomspikes is the new necro legg?
can someone explain me, why my envenom and melee dmg (and overall all dmg) is so much lower as the dmg from nekropsy?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/6jHJ14WaFQDKTnRG/WXrfTkFjNCZqgbmc#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=12,4&start=12462820,12359000&end=12763336,12659516
elaborate planning, higher ilvl mainhand
Probably just better gear and uptime.
eventhough this is minor
agi pot as well
@tulip nacelle
Me either haha
summary:
- elaborate vs. blindside
- sharpening stone + agi pot vs oil + shadow pot
- better mainhand
elaborate is basically the results of his +dmg vs. mine, right?
I don’t really understand the question for some reason
Guys, how can I change the ilevel of an item in sims? Got a 207 iqd and sims lower but want to sim it at 220
Gear compare
gotchu, thanks. Forgot about gear compare tab
hmm guess iqd 220 is worse than 213 hateful chain
with my gear atleast
24 crit, 26 haste, 31 mastery. Guess I need to switch some master to haste right for it to work?
Ok perfect, thank you. I'll see what I can switch around
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.
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?
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
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
🙂
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
makes total sense, yes ❤️
Garrote and rupture are important to have as well since they regen your energy for more uptime on your mutilates and envenoms. You should refresh them right before the charge. I do it even when they are not in pandemic window.

If it was my log I would ask myself why do I have less casts even though I was alive for longer.
Have they said what the hell happens if you make a covenant lego and you change covenants? 😫
It just starts to collect dust in your bank I guess. Why would you use it without cov ability?
Nothing probably happens, the effect would be pretty unuseful though if you didn't have the ability it boosts
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 
Naah that solution would make you less doing boring shit like torghast
i constantly find myself in the situation, where i want to held up envenom and went into stress refreshing rupture at 1-2 sec, same for garrote. what about that?
If Necro Doomspike can reach Venthyr Singletarget Performance then that will be the new meta for Assa likely I think
Well yeah, if it's even close, since it would outdps on multi target by so much
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? 🙂
do we wanna go full ST for m+ this week? or is AoE still worth it
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)
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
isn't zoldyck just superior for m+?
no
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
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
I feel pepoples definition of 'low' keys is very different to mine xD
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
