You mean. Whispyred you

#

Bahahahahahaha

dawn ivy
#

i tell them i will swap to outlaw

ruby birch
#

Don't ban me

dawn ivy
#

and then in the countdown before they put the key in

#

i swap back to sin

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

As in I am actually not in a position that allows me to ban people

ruby birch
#

No no

#

You meant you love me too much

balmy condor
#

If I were I would without hesitation put you on a rocket straight into the sun

#

But yes

#

Let’s go with that

#

:)

odd hazel
#

Whisper would ban half the disc

ruby birch
#

I suddenly became dyslexic and couldn't read what you said

#

Love you

odd hazel
#

Whisper loves @stoic needle

royal lantern
#

whispr loves everyone

balmy condor
odd hazel
#

Mastery is our strongest stat peepogoosewildwest

royal lantern
#

ye your right

#

nobody can love people that say that

stoic needle
#

no one is brave enough to say these things but i provide the truth. mastery is the bis stat. stay woke.

odd hazel
stoic needle
fleet whale
#

mastery was our best stat about 3 years ago

balmy condor
#

I’ll say that I love something about everyone

#

Everyone has at least 1 good quality

odd hazel
#

Except @ruby birch

balmy condor
#

Osh and his mastery fetish

#

Not one of those

fleet whale
#

i remember legion and having 240% baseline mastery

#

those were fun times

#

but blizz had to add bleeds to the mastery and make it scale up much slower 😦

balmy condor
#

I actually disagree with making mastery affect bleeds

#

I think making them affected by haste was good enough

fleet whale
#

yeah, after a few years, I agree too

#

even if you play a bleed heavy build, mastery still doesn't rank high

stoic needle
#

is there really even such a thing as a bleed heavy build and a poison heavy build anymore

balmy condor
#

No

stoic needle
#

considering half of the poison talents are basically not viable

balmy condor
#

But there was in legion

winged ravine
#

thanks for all the help y'all, gonna go to raid on my 99 cent store version of assassination now TE_WidePeepoSad1TE_WidePeepoSad2

balmy condor
#

We had 2 tanks in the discord

fleet whale
#

well i guess i should've said exsang build

balmy condor
#

Ranks

winged ravine
#

have fun!

balmy condor
#

Bleed and poison

balmy condor
fleet whale
#

yeah i miss having a green name too

#

there was like only two red names if i recall back in late legion

balmy condor
#

Yeah it was a lot more red at the start

#

But it transitioned more and more to poison

#

But I think it’s possible to make both viable

#

They made it work in early and mid legion

fleet whale
#

this might seem like a silly complaint

#

but exsang should get an animation update

balmy condor
#

Bleed just needed some buffs/borrowed power to match

fleet whale
#

it's literally just evis copy and pasted

craggy oak
#

Can we just double down on bleeds and make exang a talent again please

#

Tytyty

stoic needle
#

Make Master Poisoner Affect Envenom

gusty mirage
#

make master poisoner not dogshit in general

potent rune
#

i would like to see exsanguinate affect ALL targets with bleeds hehe

stoic needle
#

just replace it with vein rippers

#

that's not on vanish

#

just a button that does vein rippers

slow marsh
#

Exsang should be vein rippers actually. That'd be interesting at least

#

And master poisoner should be poisons/bleeds like everything else to create some sort of synergy

#

That's my daily pop-in and lurk until I want to say something stupid input

#

enjoy

rugged sandal
#

best talents for sire prog go

stoic needle
#

BS DS CT

shy dust
#

Cheat death

rugged sandal
#

ds and bs on sire is better than ep and vigor?

simple wadi
#

For P3 yes

rugged sandal
#

ah i guess that makes sense

stoic needle
#

EP vigor is for p*rsing

rugged sandal
#

okay

#

tysm

simple wadi
#

I think there’s an argument to run ep/vigor and doom blade as you are learning the fight to help get through some of the big adds but ultimately your gonna end up zold/bs/ds

frail fossil
#

can u pick up a new meme now

stoic needle
#

that's actually a combination of two memes

#

memeception

balmy condor
#

You know it’s bad when flower is tired of it

craggy oak
#

Sorry only played rogue since bfa on and off, is vein rippers a past ability?

tulip nacelle
#

it's a torghast anima power

craggy oak
#

Whats does it do, cant say i can remember it

tulip nacelle
#

after you vanish yout bleeds instantly do their remaining damage and you get some agi iirc

stoic needle
#

bleeds and poison

sour wraith
stoic needle
#

yes

silent tinsel
#

Not feeling CT on sire

#

Having to juggle 3 dots and envenom so I don't lose snd

#

When the hell do I get to pool

stoic needle
#

not pooling at all is less than a 30 dps loss

#

dont worry about it

#

just slam

#

do we pot on the pull on sire or save it for p2 for the adds?

plain thistle
#

I dont pot, and I dont use my second burst on P1, because we need to stop dps anyway

#

second vendetta with pot on the first add, thats what I do

lean coral
#

on our kill i ended up only potting p3

stoic needle
#

i feel like my vend is wasted

#

i'm 2nd kick on the 2nd add, and by the time i come back to the add after doing my kick he's dead

lean coral
#

yeah i saved cds for 2nd add

#

then i was able to pop them again on dennis near end of p2

#

and again 2 min into p3 with lust

drifting cloud
#

1 ven in p3 is grief

stoic needle
#

sire damage, being unethical with doomblade kek

silent fossil
#

ok ur raid sux

balmy condor
#

@stoic needle how do you feel about less rupture more envenom in dungeons

stoic needle
#

go on

balmy condor
#

what if....

#

stonks are occuring

#

(also as a side note if this makes mastery better, which it probably will by a small amount, and it manages to become an actual thing, I will find you and I will kill you)

stoic needle
#

you will hail me as the prophet

#

what are these different variations

#

modifying the envenom/rupture choice at certain TTD or something?

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

trying to not overcap a bajillion energy in aoe

#

and it's rough

#

for example, the top 2 profiles

#

F and E right

#

they don't look that different

#

but plug it into like hectic add cleave as a double check

#

and like

#

F is bad bad

#

it doesn't really change TOO much of our aoe logic

#

it's just a shift further away from a rupture snipe, and less "dot everything no matter the energy cost"

#

but inherently, everything else is sorta the same

#

although I have to check some other conditions that I think are weird

stoic needle
#

please explain these naming conventions they are wild KekW

balmy condor
#

yeah I know lots of variables kekW

#

so basically there's 2 lines for rupture

spice spire
#

Tl;dr aoe mastery stonks bottoming? poggers
Edit: oh no

balmy condor
#

actions.dot+="/rupture,if=!variable.skip_rupture&effective_combo_points>=4&refreshable&(pmultiplier<=1|remains<=tick_time&spell_targets.fan_of_knives>=3)&(!exsanguinated|remains<=tick_time*2&spell_targets.fan_of_knives>=3)&target.time_to_die-remains>(4+runeforge.dashing_scoundrel*9+runeforge.doomblade*6+(energy.regen_combined>35)*6)"
actions.dot+=""/rupture,cycle_targets=1,if=!variable.skip_cycle_rupture&!variable.skip_rupture&target!=self.target&effective_combo_points>=4&refreshable&(pmultiplier<=1|remains<=tick_time&spell_targets.fan_of_knives>=3)&(!exsanguinated|remains<=tick_time*2&spell_targets.fan_of_knives>=3)&target.time_to_die-remains>(4+runeforge.dashing_scoundrel*9+runeforge.doomblade*6+(energy.regen_combined>35)*6)"
these two lines

#

so those are the secret sauce included

#

the important part is the part I'm editing at the end with target.time_to_die

#

it's a long string but basically the target has to be alive longer than the number that it spits out after remains> in order for the rupture to fire

#

right now it's basically just a static number, and that increases with dashing/doomblade as expected

#

but we're overcapping hella energy

#

and that's something @marble hemlock has mentioned quite a bit

#

and the energy thing is a finnicky bitch to try and fix, I've taken many many stabs at it personally

balmy condor
#

in essence

#

the change is an attempt to make the TTD shorter if you need energy (e.g. something similar to sniping on sire adds)

#

while also maintaining a longer TTD when you don't need the energy

#

so if you have not a lot of adds, slam the rupture

marble hemlock
#

pinging me in assa

#

what year is this

balmy condor
#

if you're in aoe and already drowning in energy, maybe cool it

#

2019

#

I'm stonking

marble hemlock
balmy condor
#

I miss you seli

marble hemlock
#

same

stoic needle
#

Come back to us

final sky
#

what happened

balmy condor
#

seli used to be the sin daddy

stoic needle
#

Outlaw happened pepegeWeird

balmy condor
#

and then he played outlaw

final sky
#

ew

marble hemlock
#

thats

#

a lot of lies

balmy condor
final sky
#

ill give u 5 gold if u stop playing assassin

stoic needle
final sky
#

no sorry

#

if u stop playing outlaw

marble hemlock
#

just saying

balmy condor
#

not gonna lie, that's a very shaky case

marble hemlock
stoic needle
#

In keys*

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

yeah

final sky
#

hmm ill up it to 6 gold then

marble hemlock
#

holding vendetta for 1m55sec

stoic needle
#

I'll double it

#

12g

marble hemlock
#

just so i have it at the exact right time

#

i also played assa keys

#

a few weeks ago

final sky
#

if this goes above 5k gold i cant compete lol

#

dude imagine death rolling for 1m gold, it could either take forever or be instant

drifting cloud
#

how many did assa even have before .5 launched wonder if it was more than like 20

marble hemlock
#

it was

#

1 out of 3

#

ill have you know

#

but yeah, i guess im still considered the original assa OTP

#

cuz i refused to play sub in m+ in legion, and refused to play outlaw in m+ in bfa Kekw

drifting cloud
#

and when we needed you most you betrayed us

marble hemlock
#

you mean when all of you filthy people played outlaw while i progressed as assa?

#

whos the betrayer

drifting cloud
#

only time I played outlaw last 2 xpacs was Orgo first two kills iirc

#

so not me!

marble hemlock
#

@balmy condor nice sim stuff though, 👌

#

i think in an aoe scenario it ultimately always comes down to whether slightly higher overall is preferable to having the prio dmg on high value targets even when that leads to significant overcapping

#

youd have to consider the ttd of high health targets to see if envenom or rupture would be the play in those circumstances

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

the nice thing is that my brain stopped melting after about 5-6 hours of staring at it

#

but if prio adds were a thing in aoe sims

#

I would probably want to kms

#

I'm sure there's a way to implement some custom dungeonslice that adds in prio adds and flips the priority rotation on or something

#

but the loss in overall and balancing the two

#

is reaching AI/Human decision making

#

and not APL decision making

marble hemlock
#

i mean, its still valuable information to know that the difference between a rupture heavy approach and higher envenom uptime is so marginal, as that then allows you to make your own choices in a dungeon based on the DPE you get from the sim and knowing which finisher to use for high-health targets depending on the estimated ttd

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I mean these sims are showing more envenoms and less energy overcapping in general is a good idea on dying targets

#

regardless of their importance

#

so I guess this sorta makes it easier to justify prio damage a little

marble hemlock
#

makes sense ofc

#

and id take a wild guess and assume that having higher haste will increase rupture DPE, but that will be offset by the higher energy regen you have because of it

#

so i doubt a haste heavy set will make any difference here

#

dunno what stats you ran that with

balmy condor
#

it's all regen based

#

so haste shouldn't affect it

#

should adjust accordingly

marble hemlock
#

mhye

#

but it would increase rupture DPE while not affecting envenom, meaning even at lower TTDs you should start rupturing for prio

#

doubt itll make a bigger difference than 1-2sec tho

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I haven't fully tried all the edge cases and scaled it up yet

marble hemlock
#

yeah, not sure how much new information can actually be gleaned from it, feels like its more of a "hey, this apl line actually works" kinda thing init? 😄

balmy condor
#

sorta?

#

It does affect when you should rupture in dying packs

marble hemlock
#

mmmh

balmy condor
#

but I don't think anyone was playing that "incorrectly" so to speak

marble hemlock
#

i mean

#

yeah

#

its not like anyone is throwing a 5cp rupture on a mob with 5sec left

#

unless its literally the last mob

#

to make sure you have full energy bar on next pull if you go fast

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

this is just checking if you have a bunch of energy regen already basically

#

and then wouldn't do that

mental trout
#

Hey guys, returning from a month and a half break. hope all has been well!

#

I checked the pins in here and the pvp tab but havent been able to find what i was looking for =/.

placid dawn
#

does feint work on cleansing pain?

mental trout
#

Wondering what the best Leggo for Assass Pvp is. i see on icy doomblade

#

but my friend is saying MA

drifting cloud
#

depends on the matchup

#

db better overall if you dont wanna overthink it

#

raz has a yt guide check that out

@marble hemlock do you prefer poisoned katar or lethal poisons in keys

#

where's the seli assassin M+ guide smh

spice spire
#

The shoulders kekw

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

wait a minute

#

I didn't sign off on this

stoic needle
#

they're both gonna be the wrong slots if nothing changes about these dumb domination gems

#

who's ready for dashing scoundrel cape cringe

spice spire
gloomy knoll
#

doomblade goes on gloves

#

who is this heathen

spice spire
#

But also only on shoulders for now as I’ve 220 shoulders and 226 gloves

odd hazel
spice spire
#

Like a real gamer I have both made prayge

odd hazel
#

i mean

#

a 235 shoulder and 226 gloves feel pretty nice

gloomy knoll
#

my 233 shoulder and 235 gloves feel nicer

spice spire
#

Doubt I’m hitting SLG this tier - and I’d made the shoulders egregiously back then

gloomy knoll
spice spire
odd hazel
#

must be nice to run mythic and actually see the SLG shoulder sdrop

gloomy knoll
#

i actually got them fairly early in my slg runs but

#

denny weapons elude me

#

for months on end

odd hazel
#

imagine wanting denny weapons over the Mists one

spice spire
odd hazel
#

tbh, im gonna push hard for mythic next patch. hopefully i actually get to it. disappointed i didnt see it this one.

stoic needle
unreal glen
odd hazel
spice spire
unreal glen
#

Yeah I noticed that. I'm overcapping several times.

odd hazel
#

your garrote uptime is a bit low on hungering

#

90%

spice spire
#

Also you have only two casts of vanish on shriek so you missed one.

#

You know how to play the class - it’s just getting the minute things down. During mechanics it’s hard - don’t expect to parse on prog unless you’re just built different at this point. But I’d say just keep bleeds, tighten play up slightly and you’ll be fine

odd hazel
#

your SnD uptime is a bit low

unreal glen
#

Could be wrong, but most likely not refreshing before Desolate as for Garrote Uptime

odd hazel
#

89%

stoic needle
unreal glen
odd hazel
#

you should never drop it tbh. unless you just got unlucky on hungering.

unreal glen
#

Most likely unlucky. I'd have to record pulls to fully check that as I'm not 100% confident in my abilities to fully read logs.

odd hazel
#

oh

#

you died on hungering. i shouldnt be reading a wipe

unreal glen
#

We didn't down it at all. This is progression for my guild

odd hazel
#

you also died on shriek.

#

oh--- like right at the end.

unreal glen
#

I did sadly. Shriek had 0.5% health left and Cloak was down during Echolocation

#

Healthstone and Pot used earlier on in fight.

mental trout
#

as assass what gear slot should i craft doomblade on?

odd hazel
#

either if you dont have the SLG SHoulders is fine

#

but recommend gloves if you have them.

unreal glen
odd hazel
#

it doesnt make to much of a difference which you put them on

#

realistically

#

if you dont have mythic SLG shoulders its meh

mental trout
#

yea im going to put them on hands i think

unreal glen
#

I was told I shoulda gone with Gloves.

I've got Heroic SLG shoulders. Likely won't make it to SLG before 9.1 in Mythic

odd hazel
#

have you already made them on shoulders?

spice spire
#

Preferential is gloves - both slots have same stat allocation; however, this and next tier shoulders get a bump up from other pieces from final two bosses

unreal glen
odd hazel
#

i guess you could make them on gloves if you're willing to use the soul ash.

#

i wouldnt worry about it to much though. who knows what next tier will be like with all the speculation with the sockets and everything

unreal glen
#

Ive been debating it. I'd have to sim the differences and see if it was worth it at this point.

#

Exactly^^

balmy condor
unreal glen
mental trout
#

thank you guys! Very help full group <33333

odd hazel
#

inb4 we make the cape leggo

unreal glen
#

Cheers to @spice spire and @odd hazel for the pointers ❤️

sour wraith
#

zoldyck on pants or boots? or does it not really matter

stoic needle
#

pants

#

because of domination sockets

spice spire
#

Also higher stat caps but it works in multiple ways now

sour wraith
#

gotcha, guess the gem outweighs the higher ilvl pants then huh

stoic needle
#

it's impossible to know for sure

#

but i would be very suprised if it didn't

#

the gems would have to be really weak for it not to be the case

placid dawn
#

is it worth saving vendetta for p3 sire if we are not making it to 40% before phase?

#

we get to 47 ish

#

and i get vendetta back at 6min

odd hazel
#

will the boss last another 2 minutes?

#

will it line up with othe rthings?

#

are you lusting to burn him or using lust at p3

#

( i have no done mythic so this is only heroic knowledge )

placid dawn
#

it will lasts 4 more minutes probably

#

might not even lose a cast

#

not sure about that

odd hazel
#

i mean, as long as you get full benefit out of it why not

tribal hornet
#

Is dungeon slice sim gives good stat values? Or better do patchwerk 3+targets

odd hazel
#

D-slice is fine

this is gains for everyone

while we've been memeing around, whispyr's been grinding

odd hazel

im just sitting here queing for keys

#

QQ

gusty mirage
#

so afk? or running in circles?

odd hazel
#

watching youtube eating cheese its

#

does that count

gusty mirage
#

um, that's significantly better than what I do

#

I just run in circles and contemplate cancelling my sub

odd hazel
#

#DoubleMonitors

#

tbh, once i get KSM and 220ish ilvl i'll be content. then i'll just continue playing tbc classic or try to pug some mythic kills

#

oh wait--- i need to do the maw weeklys.

#

@gusty mirage doesnt help that half the Dungeon finder is filled with carries/sellers

gusty mirage
#

do what I do, report them

#

and watch tv shows

odd hazel
#

im just curious if they ever actually do anything about them

stoic needle
#

1.3% more dps... 1.3% closer to mastery supremacy... poggers

balmy condor
#

we don't stop

#

till we hit outlaw dslice

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

evolution G is pumping though

#

you thought E was good

#

oh baby

grand belfry
#

hows the new necro legendary feel for dungeons?

balmy condor
#

necro lego is poppin

#

we love that shit

odd hazel
#

is it the dot we love

#

or the initial damage

#

that is the question

balmy condor
#

both

#

and the cp

balmy condor
#

so like

#

thrice

#

but both

#

throth

stoic needle
#

throce

balmy condor
#

thralloftheabove

odd hazel
#

shame, just upgraded my zolds too

#

but i'll save up some ash just in case it goes live like that

stoic needle
#

you'd want both legendaries anyway

#

i've got 8k ash burning a hole in my pocket pepehands

odd hazel
#

why both?

#

dont throw your mastery on me you heathen

stoic needle
#

because deathspike has zero single target value

#

if you dont craft your deathspike as crit/mastery you're trolling pepegeWeird

balmy condor
odd hazel
#

whispyr

#

does he speak the word of truth

#

or do we lock him away

stoic needle
#

why would you put single target stats on a legendary that has no single target value pepegeWeird

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

I hate agreeing with his mastery nonsense

odd hazel
#

LOL

stoic needle
odd hazel
#

i just cant believe him sometimes

balmy condor
#

cause it's usually the scrawlings of a mad man

#

but in this case

#

I'm actually gonna agree with him

#

crit mastery seems kinda okay

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

I still hate the meme though

#

and wish you'd stop

odd hazel
#

I MEAN

#

what would a mastery build even look like on paper

balmy condor
#

oh god no

#

we're not stacking it

stoic needle
#

welllll

balmy condor
#

I'm just saying crit/mastery on the lego

#

is fine

#

having some mastery for m+ is fine

#

having nothing but mastery is giga bad

#

having nothing but crit/mastery is giga bad

stoic needle
#

or a lot FeelsVeryEvilMan

gusty mirage
#

stacking any stat (outside of crit, but even then that'd be mostly for more cp from fok) is a bad time

stoic needle
#

my m+ set has like 15% haste and 34% mastery and sims say i need more mastery

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

I mean

gusty mirage
#

how much crit are you running @stoic needle

balmy condor
#

that is a pretty decent amount of haste tbh

odd hazel
#

im just curious what like

stoic needle
#

~30%

gusty mirage
#

okay that seems about right

odd hazel
#

a crit/mastery or haste/mastery with some crit would look like

balmy condor
#

I'm at 35% mastery and it's my worst stat

#

so

hollow river
#

I run 30 crit 10ish haste 39 mastery 7ish vers

balmy condor
#

oh god your icon

#

what the fuck

hollow river
#

And it says I need@more@mastery

balmy condor
#

new discord picture

#

is cursed

hollow river
stoic needle
odd hazel
#

29% crit 23% haste 18% mastery

gusty mirage
stoic needle
#

ideally i'd like to get down to 10% haste and put those stats into crit and mastery

#

like 35% crit and 40% mastery

gusty mirage
#

hey man you do you

hollow river
#

How does the damage of our bleeds scale?

odd hazel
#

one day we should all follow the word of osh

stoic needle
#

it scales the most with mastery

#

per point

hollow river
#

Each individual tick has crit chance

#

They tick faster with haste

#

And they all hit harder in general with mastery or vers?

stoic needle
#

yeah

#

mastery has a higher coefficient or whatever than vers does

hollow river
#

Yeah vers seems to be our worst stat

gusty mirage
#

vers also has the perks of having DR tied to it and flat buffing all damage

#

don't discount vers

hollow river
#

Perks of DR?

gusty mirage
#

yes

#

versatility reduces the damage you take

stoic needle
#

yeah i don't like having no vers whatsoever because i stand in shit a fair amount lul

odd hazel
#

damage reduction = DR

hollow river
#

Ahhhh yeah

strange python
#

good for high keys

gusty mirage
#

its generally a bad idea to hard stack any one or two stats

#

esp in SL when secondaries are the way they are

odd hazel
#

tbh, any thing with crit/haste has been BiS for me but lately vers has been crawling up

hollow river
#

This is just the highest ilvl gear I have so

gusty mirage
#

osh isn't wrong about his love of mastery per se, he just devolved into degeneracy when he decided to use a bell on SLG

stoic needle
#

i'm a visionary i tell you

#

A VISIONARY

hollow river
#

Lmao

#

What does bell do?

gusty mirage
#

gives a ton of mastery on a short CD

#

shortish

stoic needle
#

1:30

hollow river
#

Hmm

stoic needle
#

if i had a 203 instead of a 194 i'd have kept using it

hollow river
#

You use it in keys?

gusty mirage
#

you woulda been inting your damage sir

stoic needle
#

sometimes

#

but iqd just kinda does the same thing

#

without the agi loss

odd hazel
#

its sad when

hollow river
#

Mmm

odd hazel
#

a 213 IQD is better then any thing 220 trinket besides phial

stoic needle
#

iqd is stonks

hollow river
#

I don’t have iqd or phial yet so

gusty mirage
#

happens every tier tbh

hollow river
#

Doubt I’ll get before tier is over

gusty mirage
#

there's always a few trinkets that are ridiculously strong compared to the others

#

we got a long ways until then, don't lose hope @hollow river

stoic needle
#

just run more DoS 3Head

hollow river
#

I haven’t been running keys lately sadly

#

Pugs are poison

odd hazel
#

yeah, i've been running enough to get like 2 choices of 226 and thats about it.

hollow river
#

And I’m not good enough at sin to get KSM yet

gusty mirage
hollow river
#

Same 1 or 2 choices

odd hazel
#

i've never gotten the same choices

hollow river
gusty mirage
#

nah trust me you are

odd hazel
#

i mean

#

sin is literally

#

spread garrote, rupture everything, CT

#

and keep SnD up

hollow river
#

Promise I’m not lol

#

I can’t do my rotation and avoid shit/interrupts

odd hazel
#

only one way to get better 😛

hollow river
#

Unfortunately

gusty mirage
#

Use a focus kick macro to make interrupting a billion times easier

#

that way you don't have to try to tab target or click the nameplate

hollow river
#

Is there a faster way to set a focus target

stoic needle
#

mouseover kick is goated

#

you can bind set focus

gusty mirage
#

I have 2 buttons on my mouse, one to set focus and one to clear focus

hollow river
#

Hmmmmm

gusty mirage
#

the G600 turns the scroll wheel into 3 buttons

#

so you could get 5 binds out of it

stoic needle
#

i just got good at mouseover kick, garotte and rupture

gusty mirage
#

mouse3, mouse4, mouse 5, and scroll wheel up and down

stoic needle
#

it's alot more flexible once you get used to it

hollow river
#

I feel like mouse over gar and rupt would be hard at to get used to

#

Af *

stoic needle
#

i use tab target to get the initial garrotes and ruptures up

gusty mirage
stoic needle
#

and then after that use mouseovers to refresh

#

it's L I T

#

it was very nice on slg

hollow river
#

If you’re moving around a lot how tf do you use a mouse over tbh

stoic needle
#

that was how i got used to it actually lol

#

i mean you put your camera top down

#

move with WASD

#

and use your mouse for mouseovers

gusty mirage
#

you keyboard turn?

#

oh my

hollow river
#

I’m not that precise these days like I was as a kid x.x

#

Wtf no I don’t keyboard turn

stoic needle
#

i don't keyboard turn

#

my A and D are bound to strafe

#

Q and E are abilties

hollow river
#

^

gusty mirage
#

if Q isn't blind we're not friends anymore osh

stoic needle
hollow river
#

What

stoic needle
#

q is garotte

hollow river
#

Q is gar

stoic needle
#

e is mut

gusty mirage
#

nah

hollow river
#

E is sbs

stoic needle
#

R is envenom

#

F is rupture

#

shift+F is ct

gusty mirage
#

do you utilize 1-5 at all? kek

stoic needle
#

yeah they're uh

hollow river
#

I can’t reliably use 5 rofl

gusty mirage
#

bruh you just named like 80% of our aoe rotation on buttons NOT 1-5

stoic needle
#

1 is snd, 2 is shiv, 3 is nothing but was vendetta when i was venth

gusty mirage
#

1 is snd?

#

WAT

hollow river
#

Lmao

stoic needle
#

well keep in mind this is on a razer tartarus

hollow river
#

Where is fok o.o

stoic needle
#

so this is what would be in the place of 1

gusty mirage
#

one second

#

let me see what this monstrosity is

stoic needle
#

fok is C

hollow river
gusty mirage
stoic needle
#

you're just hating because your defensives aren't on the D pad

gusty mirage
#

all 3 of them?

hollow river
#

I have the one oxi posted

#

V2

stoic needle
#

dpad up is feint, dpad down is evasion, dpad left is cloak, dpad right is stealth

hollow river
#

Use the Dpad to move in game tbh

stoic needle
#

vanish is shift+space

#

the dpad isn't precise enough for movement imo

gusty mirage
#

free up more space on whatever that contraption is

#

and use pedals to move osh

#

be a real gamer

#

smh

stoic needle
#

kekw

#

i need a 3 button foot pedal

hollow river
#

Pedals?

stoic needle
#

for vanish, vendetta and push to talk

hollow river
#

What on earth

stoic needle
#

i just have push to talk on one rn

#

you're gaming in 2021, i'm gaming in 3021

gusty mirage
#

good thing I'll be dead by 3021

hollow river
#

Why a 3 button pedal

gusty mirage
#

and never have to experience this

hollow river
#

What is going on

stoic needle
hollow river
#

He said pedals to move

stoic needle
#

nah

hollow river
#

Lol

stoic needle
#

that'll just get you killed kekw

hollow river
#

Push to talk pedal DOES sound legit af tho

stoic needle
#

it's so fucking nice

hollow river
#

I can’t use push to talk

gusty mirage
#

I had a priest in season 4 of bfa that used legit a DDR pad to move around

hollow river
#

Not while doing anything of real value

stoic needle
#

because there is just no convenient keybind for PTT

gusty mirage
#

I wish I was trolling

odd hazel
#

mines control

hollow river
#

That sounds like fun

#

Did he always stand while he played?

#

LOL

stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

I'm not sure tbh

#

I didn't want to know more

hollow river
#

Bro I was about to mention that dude

gusty mirage
#

but them moving around with a ddr pad explained everything I needed to know about their performance

hollow river
#

Plays with a freaking controller while RpPing lmao

stoic needle
#

he is literal god

hollow river
#

Idk about that 🤷

stoic needle
#

we are not worthy prayge

gusty mirage
#

I could never use this fish tartar thing from razer

#

how tf do you play other games

hollow river
#

YOU DONT

stoic needle
#

well you just bind everything to it

#

it's really not that hard

gusty mirage
#

bruh you telling me I can play valorant on that blasphemous creation?

hollow river
#

I haven’t started using mine yet. Nor my naga

stoic needle
#

if you can play wow on it you can play anything on it

gusty mirage
stoic needle
#

the big thing is that it's more comfortable than any keyboard ever

#

and has more keys in a smaller space

#

i dare say it's just better than a keyboard

#

if you put some effort into customizing it

balmy condor
odd hazel
#

why not just use a keyboard

#

it has plenty of buttons

#

and its comfortable

hollow river
#

Because al the buttons are staggered and it is designed for typing not gaming

odd hazel
#

i mean

#

it works fine

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hollow river
#

Opinions and preferences

odd hazel
#

i use
123456
QERFGCV
shift + 1, 2, 3,4
and a bunch of shift QERFGCV

#

and a few ctrl ones

hollow river
#

I can barely use 4 reliably

#

Let alone putting my pinky on shift and hitting 4 lmaoo

#

Modifiers on the game pad are also much more ergo

odd hazel
#

to be more precise i use
12345
`/C4
QERF
Shift F, Q, C1, C3
S1, S2, S3, Z, C, X, CQ, C2

#

you just get used to it, it feels normal to me tbh

hollow river
#

Yeah I can understand that

#

But how long does it take to get used to lol

odd hazel
#

depends how dedicated you are.

hollow river
#

I guess

odd hazel
#

not long tbh, you just have to deal with fucking up sometimes during the process of learning

#

like, i use the same keybinds for any class i play to make it easier for me to learn them

#

and try to keep similar spells in the same spot

#

kick/interrupt is always `

#

something like vendetta is always E. CoV abilities are always Q

hollow river
#

What do you use for stealth

odd hazel
#

like, before combat or vanish?

hollow river
#

Regular stealth

odd hazel
#

i just click it.

hollow river
#

O.o

odd hazel
#

?

iron orchid
hollow river
#

I use ‘

iron orchid
#

I was not the only one

odd hazel
#

i never have felt the need to bind it tbh

iron orchid
#

But I don't click it anymore, can't help you there

hollow river
#

Some tanks I only get like .5 seconds to restealth so

iron orchid
#

I just got rid of the "zoom in" control and put stealth on Scroll UP

rigid pine
#

i use alt and mouse 5 sub

hollow river
#

Can you change your modifiers in wow settings?

odd hazel
#

its the only thing i click tbh.

#

never feel the need to have a bind for it.

iron orchid
#

I remember people coming to my stream like "How is this guy legit ? He clicks stealth bruh"

#

So I changed it

odd hazel
#

thats funny

stoic needle
iron orchid
#

And now I don't stream anymore wesmart

#

We need to fill our raid roster and M+ team for 9.1, then I'll probably stream every night

gusty mirage
iron orchid
#

Let's just hope I don't have to main my fury warrior in 9.1

gusty mirage
#

say it aint so dei

odd hazel
gusty mirage
#

I may have to main vdh at this rate aPES_Cry

iron orchid
#

We only have one warrior, and I ain't sure he'd make it into a M raid roster

#

If he doesn't I'll have to

gusty mirage
#

you'll always be a rogue in our heart

#

regardless of what you may be forced to play

odd hazel
#

"forced to play" PFFFTTTT

gusty mirage
#

sometimes you just gotta do whats best for the team

iron orchid
#

I must admit that fury warrior is very different

slow marsh
#

Constantly wiping on p2 on last add is so frustrating

odd hazel
#

i dont pay 15$ a month to be forced to play anything but thats just me

#

but

#

i applaud you for your dedication

#

Hopefully you actually enjoy fury war

gusty mirage
#

fury war is a ton of fun from what I've been told

slow marsh
#

I mean being top on meters is pretty fun

#

And fury pads really nicely to get up there

iron orchid
odd hazel
#

if i was gonna switch to something, i'td be a Spriest

iron orchid
#

Shadowlands made me realise that I just cannot play caster

#

So I just geared the melee specs that I found fun

hollow river
#

Yeah so far I hate all ranged specs

iron orchid
#

Sin rogue, enh sham, fury war, and a survival hunter waiting at lvl 60

slow marsh
#

I am trying to level ele sham and its ok

hollow river
#

But spriest/aff lock seem like the only ones I could really give a go

odd hazel
#

ew aff lock

iron orchid
slow marsh
#

It just feels so weird being a melee boi and swapping to ranged

hollow river
#

What’s wrong with aff lock

iron orchid
#

I got the same feeling playing ele shamn and fury warrior in keys

odd hazel
#

i just hate the way it plays tbh

iron orchid
#

Simple rotation does great damage

hollow river
odd hazel
slow marsh
#

Yeah I enjoy the random burst it has

#

I played rogue ret pally and enh shammy in wrath

#

and dabbled in ele

odd hazel
slow marsh
#

So it's not crazy foreign but it is weird

odd hazel
#

this iteration if Aff i just dont like.

hollow river
#

But all we press is envenom and DoT upkeep

odd hazel
#

im more of a Demo guy honestly and miss Meta

hollow river
#

o:

odd hazel
hollow river
#

That’s why o thought I’d enjoy aff tbh because I like sin

#

I*

#

And it has a lot of instant cast bleeds which seems better than all-cast bar specs

#

Like I tried fire mage and outside of combust/procs I hated it

odd hazel
#

thats all fire mage us

#

a floppy noodle who hits hard every now and then

hollow river
#

Floppy noodle?

odd hazel
#

its like 2am, thats the best you get lmao

hollow river
#

Lmao

#

I just want to play a class that gets invited to keys more tbh

#

Spriest seems@to be doing good rn. Idk about lock

#

Ele sham probably safer bet

left briar
#

Might see lock more in 9.1 with seeds possibly making a return, play boomkin

hollow river
#

I hate the thought of playing boomkin lol

#

Never tried it tho so idk why

slow marsh
#

I mean rogue shouldn't have any problem getting into keys

#

I know I dont

#

People base it on rio more than class

odd hazel
#

im 1200 and people dont seem to take me often but i know people require IO for things that dont need like 1500+ IO

lean coral
#

only way ive ever pushed io

#

is just doing my own keys

gusty mirage
#

yeah a lot of people in lfg want high io and high ilvl because they think it means they'll for sure time it

odd hazel
#

only downside to IO score.

shadow helm
#

wat necro soulbinds for raid bro

balmy condor
#

Heirmir

#

Gemstone

shadow helm
#

well placed?

balmy condor
#

SF

shadow helm
#

vigor or deeper

hazy crater
#

depends on fight and your gear

#

sim

odd hazel
#

theres no difference really, usually deeper pulls ahead but some people go vigor cause its easy

plain onyx
#

yeah i like deeper a lot but vigor sims to me more than deeper

shadow helm
#

why serrated bone spikes op bro

odd hazel
#

because The initial damage is strong as well as having a extra dot

#
  • combo points
shadow helm
#

if only this was the iteration on expac release

odd hazel
#

its gonna be even stronger next patch

#

+2 more charges and dots hits 2 targets around it.

#

for the necro leggo

spice spire
craggy oak
#

Any sim nerds around with a spare few mins?

odd hazel
#

what do you need?

rigid pine
craggy oak
#

I wouldnt mind seeing the difference between keeping CT up 100% of the time, compared to only when target is sub 30%, compared to not useing it at all, patchwork and useing zoldycks

hazy crater
#

hm. shouldn't be too hard to do I could see

hazy crater
craggy oak
#

Tyty

desert quartz
#

Does it mean that using CT, shiv plays a very small role? Like in m+ and/or raid? Do I avoid shiv windows entirely?

craggy oak
#

No

#

You still shiv

#

Trying not to refresh bleeds in shive window

#

I think you can drop ct entirly during shiv window on st

trim plover
#

So I seem to be getting the issue that my bleeds are too close to needing refreshing but not inside the pandemic window when shiv is coming off cd, i.e 10-15secs on rup, which means if I shiv and envenom, by the time I get 3 envens off and then wait for energy/combos, rupture falls off. If I wait for pandemic window and prevent overcap energy while I wait, then build to refresh and pool for shiv, shiv is off cd for 10secs. What's the best way of tackling this?

#

Also is it OK to let garrote drop off during a shiv window?

north basin
#

do we have 30% dummy to test things somewheree?

#

execute

craggy oak
#

Keep garrote and rup up 100% of the time

loud niche
#

I don't let any bleeds drop, even if it means you have to refresh in shiv windo.

#

Just need to get better about planning ahead. It happens from time to time but shouldn't be a major concern unless it's happening often

warm parcel
#

I mean theres no planning to be done

#

As cp gen is random, rup dur is random too

#

Sometimes it hits shiv windows

#

Just go into shiv with resources

#

And not like you have to env thrice every shiv

trim plover
#

Ok that's what I thought, the random duration means it's harder to plan but then reading all this "don't refresh bleeds during shiv" was throwing me.

loud niche
#

yeah but if he's getting it often, then he may be dumping with enven when rup has 10-15 up, and then building and starving after to refresh it... I'd rather be at max cp and rup early in shiv than to dump with enven before shiv while rup is 10-15sec

warm parcel
#

Its not a rule you have to die by. But it always feels bad casting a bleed during shiv

desert quartz
trim plover
#

So basically it's better to pool energy and combo for shiv but don't be too tight on avoiding rup/gar refreshes during shiv?

craggy oak
#

Refrshing garrote sometimes feels nice due to getting the 5 cp or going 3 to 4, so feels less bad then when followed up by envenom

#

But in a perfect world we want to avoid this

loud niche
#

never let a bleed drop, try to not use bleeds in shiv, and if possible (it's not terribly often that it is) try to go into shiv with a good amount of energy without overcapping, and with 5+cp so you can try for 2-3 enven's in the window. I actually normally only get 2 enven's per shiv, and I 99 parsed shriek this week without PI, not sure if you're running the normal talent set or what

warm parcel
#

Yeah

#

Always rather chill before shiv is off cd

#

Think for a mom

trim plover
#

I'm swapping between ep/vig and bs/ds to see which I like the feel of

loud niche
#

sim it, if you'd rather feel better when you're playing the spec then just do what feels best. Best advice I can give ya on it

trim plover
#

Nice one, thanks for the advice folks 👍

Doomblade is better on hands or shoulders ?

royal lantern

hands

right now

stark dawn
#

ty ❤️ also I see that on warcraft logs 🙂

final sky
#

what level 50 talent should i use for levelling through dungeons?

#

crimson tempest right?

silent fossil
#

use ct for basically everything except pure st

final sky
#

how would i go about using it?

silent fossil
#

like any other bleed lol

#

hit on 5cp reapply during pandemic window

final sky
#

kk

craggy oak
#

In packs use before rup, on st rup first

final sky
#

alright

tropic quiver
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
limber lion
#

Just keep the bleed up

vagrant bison
#

how do you guys deal with bleed dropping on pride? like, if the pride has 15% and my garrote is running out in 2 seconds, is it worth to refresh it? same thing with Rupture. So far i have been trying to apply rupture with less cp but sometimes it starts to run out at that % and idk if i should reapply it or not

red bloom
#

Is the only reason doomblade goes better on hands cause of the SLG shoulders?

silent fossil
#

yes

vagrant bison
#

but if the pride will die in 10 seconds isn't it better to envenom?

red bloom
#

10 seconds?! may as well vendetta and the whole shebang

sonic schooner
#

Maybe if your snd is about to drop yea, otherwise specially playing zoldyck I would garrot low rupture. Maybe it's not the optimal but it's how I would do it 🤔

silent fossil
#

if ttd >8s a 1-2cp rupture would do benefit more than an envenom

vagrant bison
#

ttd?

silent fossil
#

time to die

vagrant bison
#

ah

#

mhhh alright, thanks

silent fossil
#

even moreso with zoldyck

vagrant bison
#

yeah, thats the only lego i have

craggy oak
#

Is there a ttd vs cp spreadsheet showing data values or anything like that

gusty mirage
stoic needle
#

That may change soon pepehmm

gusty mirage
#

The ttd yes, not the cp usage

stoic needle
#

True

gusty mirage
#

Rupture sniping in dslice would be overkill anyway given that we already have a ton of energy overflow

#

Like a shit ton of energy wasted

stoic needle
#

In general, it's worth it to Rupture anything that lives longer than 4 seconds

gusty mirage
#

Si

stoic needle
#

But, if you have lots of bleeds out, it's better to envenom instead (that's the gist of the apl changes that whispyr is working on iirc)

balmy condor
#

Yes

gusty mirage
#

In practice, just do whatever you can to kill the pride ASAP especially in 15+ keys

manic pebble
#

do you use zoldycks or doomblade on sire?

tropic ocean
#

doomblade

odd hazel
#

Doom, or Zold for P3 Damage

manic pebble
#

I see

stoic needle
#

zoldycks for prog

odd hazel
stoic needle
#

I tried out doomblade for fun and it's crazy how big of a difference the damage is in p1/2 lol, from 3-4th on boss damage with zold to easily #1 with doomblade

compact pumice
vagrant bison
#

guys, as rogues can we benefit from logging dungeons? i do that on my tank to see shield block uptime, blocked hits etc but i am not sure on what to look for as assasination

odd hazel
#

i guess if you're looking for a specific thing

#

SnD uptime, damage taken, did you get interrupts that were there?

#

did you waste CP

compact pumice
#

You can also see what opener you use on specific packs, see if you can improve there if your dps is low

balmy condor
#

it's always valuable to have replays/logs to review for yourself

#

but yeah

#

aside from openers/uptimes and stuff

#

not really too much to look at

#

just the basics

vagrant bison
#

well yes, i was wondering what should i be looking for. As example, i compared my spires 16 with another assasination spires 20 and somehow he has 3500 melee hits while i had only 2400

balmy condor
#

are your snd uptimes the same?

#

is his dungeon longer?

vagrant bison
#

mhhh doubt so

compact pumice
#

Time in combat the same?

odd hazel
#

are you hitting your targets as often?

stoic widget
#

hey guyes

balmy condor
#

these are the questions to ask btw

vagrant bison
#

ah yes

#

facepalm

balmy condor
#

if you're off the target

#

won't hit

#

XD

vagrant bison
#

mine is 33m and his is 47m

compact pumice
#

I mean just looking critically from "another perspective" can do wonders for analyzing your gameplay since you become very aware of how well you're doing at the things you know you need to improve. And the more you look at your own logs the better you get at finding interesting "measures" for yourself. But yeah it's good to find some other logs to check too to see where you differ, and to find places you didn't know you needed improvement on.

molten beacon
#

Hi ! what s your advice about Necro rogue for 9.1 ? ( I see all streamer playing Necro on the PTR)

vagrant bison
#

yeah definetly. Like, i think i am somehow underusing CT because my uptime in the whole dung was 25% and his was 47%

odd hazel
#

I mean, necro is better next patch

#

if thats what you mean but

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

idk if it's like a "is it better"

#

or a "how do I play it single target"

#

or "how do I aoe"

odd hazel
#

its relatively the same cov wise, Venth for ST and Necro for M+ even more

balmy condor
#

Idk if it's even a pve question tbh

#

I think pvp people are playing necro too

compact pumice
#

Maybe he needs recommendation of some streamers that aren't playing necro?

molten beacon
#

Yes I need recommendation

#

It seems they raid in Necro

dim temple
#

is neco bis next patch ?

odd hazel
#

for M+

dim temple
#

ok

odd hazel
#

venth is still ST king

compact pumice
#

Necro wins on cleave though

odd hazel
#

^

compact pumice
#

lots of bosses with adds

#

in 9.1 raid

odd hazel
#

any moment another target is added necro wins

dim temple
#

is there alot of boss with adds?

#

so best i guess to go neco now ? 😄

odd hazel
#

if you're that worried yeah, you can realistically play what ever and still perform

vagrant bison
#

actually i found out that the "cheat death" from necro is amazing on assasination cause it allows you to reapply your dots

compact pumice
#

Because of this, there isn't any best choice, and it all depends on how much the two covs differ when it comes to difference between ST, Cleave and 4-5+. I haven't seen any PTR sims or made any myself so I'll just wait until 9.1 is more final.

odd hazel
#

it also depends on if that necro leggo goes live like it is

compact pumice
#

It was shadownerfed recently right?

odd hazel
#

not to sure

#

havent paid to much attention to PTR really

dim temple
#

I think I am going to wait to the nummbers are in

odd hazel
#

i mean

#

necro will still be a safe choice if you're main concern is M+. but thats a good idea

I have both Covs at 40 renown so I'm fine with whatever

#

i have both venth/necro at 38. cant seem to get 2 renown

compact pumice
#

also if you seriously M+ the damage you bring is the least of your value anyway

odd hazel
#

i also havent been doing the quests that give them lmao

compact pumice
#

When you get to 38 you need to do the 1000 anima and 20 souls weekly to get the last renown

odd hazel
#

yeah, as long as you interrupt, CC things correctly. you do fine

compact pumice
#

because "you're caught up"

odd hazel
#

yeah im just lazy

compact pumice
#

I just do it passively while doing callings and grinding Stygia

#

so isn't it kind of silly if say you complete the venthyr campaign, then you swap to Necrolord and complete that whole campaign?

#

Their endings are almost exactly the same!

#

yeah the story is meant to be bringing the covenants together so thats their way of cutting some easy corners

compact pumice
#

I didn't even notice since I did both campaigns on autopilot. I can never understand people who play for the story

dawn ivy
#

the middle of the necro lord campaign is also the middle of the kyrian campaign

#

granted the kyrian campaign just goes everywhere

#

The Night fae one is kind of just it's own story

I enjoy paying attention to the story even though warcraft lore isn't the best

#

dumb question but do you lose your covenant specific conduits if you swap from venth to necro then back

balmy condor
#

no

#

everything saves

Is it worth going PB on Tyrannical weeks?

gusty mirage
#

no

#

if we had any real aoe outside of CT you could try to argue shifting the damage a bit is okay. But CT is legit all our aoe because fok sucks
