i tell them i will swap to outlaw
Don't ban me
Couldn’t even if I tried 
As in I am actually not in a position that allows me to ban people
If I were I would without hesitation put you on a rocket straight into the sun
But yes
Let’s go with that
:)
Whisper would ban half the disc
Whisper loves @stoic needle
whispr loves everyone
Definitely hard disagree 
Mastery is our strongest stat 
no one is brave enough to say these things but i provide the truth. mastery is the bis stat. stay woke.


mastery was our best stat about 3 years ago
Except @ruby birch
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 😦
I actually disagree with making mastery affect bleeds
I think making them affected by haste was good enough
yeah, after a few years, I agree too
even if you play a bleed heavy build, mastery still doesn't rank high
is there really even such a thing as a bleed heavy build and a poison heavy build anymore
No
considering half of the poison talents are basically not viable
But there was in legion
thanks for all the help y'all, gonna go to raid on my 99 cent store version of assassination now 

We had 2 tanks in the discord
well i guess i should've said exsang build
Ranks
have fun!
Bleed and poison

yeah i miss having a green name too
there was like only two red names if i recall back in late legion
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
Bleed just needed some buffs/borrowed power to match
it's literally just evis copy and pasted
Make Master Poisoner Affect Envenom
make master poisoner not dogshit in general
i would like to see exsanguinate affect ALL targets with bleeds hehe
just replace it with vein rippers
that's not on vanish
just a button that does vein rippers
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
best talents for sire prog go
BS DS CT
Cheat death
ds and bs on sire is better than ep and vigor?
For P3 yes
ah i guess that makes sense
EP vigor is for p*rsing
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

can u pick up a new meme now
You know it’s bad when flower is tired of it
Sorry only played rogue since bfa on and off, is vein rippers a past ability?
it's a torghast anima power
Whats does it do, cant say i can remember it
after you vanish yout bleeds instantly do their remaining damage and you get some agi iirc
bleeds and poison
why CT? because of the movement/adds?
yes
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
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?
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
on our kill i ended up only potting p3
if the first add has 2 monks blowing CDs on it and it fucking melts in less than like 10 seconds should i just save vendetta for the 2nd add?
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
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
1 ven in p3 is grief
sire damage, being unethical with doomblade 
ok ur raid sux
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)
you will hail me as the prophet
what are these different variations
modifying the envenom/rupture choice at certain TTD or something?
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
please explain these naming conventions they are wild 
Tl;dr aoe mastery stonks bottoming? 
Edit: oh no
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

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

same
Come back to us
what happened
seli used to be the sin daddy
Outlaw happened 
ew

ill give u 5 gold if u stop playing assassin

not gonna lie, that's a very shaky case

In keys*
yeah
hmm ill up it to 6 gold then
holding vendetta for 1m55sec
just so i have it at the exact right time
i also played assa keys
a few weeks ago

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
1/2 parses 
how many did assa even have before .5 launched wonder if it was more than like 20
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 
and when we needed you most you betrayed us
you mean when all of you filthy people played outlaw while i progressed as assa?
whos the betrayer
@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
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
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
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
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
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
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? 😄
mmmh
but I don't think anyone was playing that "incorrectly" so to speak
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
yeah
this is just checking if you have a bunch of energy regen already basically
and then wouldn't do that
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 =/.
does feint work on cleansing pain?
Wondering what the best Leggo for Assass Pvp is. i see on icy doomblade
but my friend is saying MA
depends on the matchup
db better overall if you dont wanna overthink it
raz has a yt guide check that out
yes
!guide
i had a couple pings in here i tried scrolling up to find them but i guess it was too far up cus discord wouldnt let me scroll up further
search "mentions: Blood#1915"
no u osh
if you're on mobile, there's a little @ symbol, on desktop there's an inbox button next to the question mark in the top right
but i do call boomies "boos" 
yes ik im weird
that will show only mentions
i found em ty
doomblade slot check 
@marble hemlock do you prefer poisoned katar or lethal poisons in keys
where's the seli assassin M+ guide smh
✅ in the proper spot, as whispyr intended 
The shoulders 

they're both gonna be the wrong slots if nothing changes about these dumb domination gems
who's ready for dashing scoundrel cape 
Any time u bring up mastery
But also only on shoulders for now as I’ve 220 shoulders and 226 gloves
226 glove check
Like a real gamer I have both made 
my 233 shoulder and 235 gloves feel nicer
Doubt I’m hitting SLG this tier - and I’d made the shoulders egregiously back then

must be nice to run mythic and actually see the SLG shoulder sdrop
i actually got them fairly early in my slg runs but
denny weapons elude me
for months on end

imagine wanting denny weapons over the Mists one
Balanced, as all things should be 
tbh, im gonna push hard for mythic next patch. hopefully i actually get to it. disappointed i didnt see it this one.
First foray into Mythic tonight.
Anyone wanna pick apart a log and shoot some pointers my way? Open to anything, just wanna improve.
Out of 11 total pulls I was alive till a wipe call was made.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/9mf1K86VP7gZJxra/#fight=22&type=damage-done&source=19

Big thing right off the bat is Combo Point management. On both kills you wasted quite a bit
Yeah I noticed that. I'm overcapping several times.
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
your SnD uptime is a bit low
Could be wrong, but most likely not refreshing before Desolate as for Garrote Uptime
89%
you'll never take me alive 
As for SnD I didn't find any other time where I needed to refresh SnD outside of using Envenom
you should never drop it tbh. unless you just got unlucky on hungering.
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.
We didn't down it at all. This is progression for my guild
I did sadly. Shriek had 0.5% health left and Cloak was down during Echolocation
Healthstone and Pot used earlier on in fight.
as assass what gear slot should i craft doomblade on?
either if you dont have the SLG SHoulders is fine
but recommend gloves if you have them.
Don't be like me and put it on Shoulders.
it doesnt make to much of a difference which you put them on
realistically
if you dont have mythic SLG shoulders its meh
yea im going to put them on hands i think
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
have you already made them on shoulders?
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
I have. 225 currently.
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
Ive been debating it. I'd have to sim the differences and see if it was worth it at this point.
Exactly^^
then the difference shouldn't matter tbh
Gotchya
thank you guys! Very help full group <33333
inb4 we make the cape leggo
Cheers to @spice spire and @odd hazel for the pointers ❤️
zoldyck on pants or boots? or does it not really matter
Also higher stat caps but it works in multiple ways now
Best of luck papi 
gotcha, guess the gem outweighs the higher ilvl pants then huh
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
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
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 )
it will lasts 4 more minutes probably
might not even lose a cast
not sure about that
i mean, as long as you get full benefit out of it why not
Is dungeon slice sim gives good stat values? Or better do patchwerk 3+targets
D-slice is fine
kay, thanks!
bout to get more fine ;)
dont make me switch to necro king whispyr ;-;
just optimizations
whats ya got brewing 
SOOOOOON ™
madness
madness is what he has brewing
H U G E 
if you only knew
while we've been memeing around, whispyr's been grinding
um, that's significantly better than what I do
I just run in circles and contemplate cancelling my sub
#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
im just curious if they ever actually do anything about them
1.3% more dps... 1.3% closer to mastery supremacy... 

hows the new necro legendary feel for dungeons?
throce
thralloftheabove
shame, just upgraded my zolds too
but i'll save up some ash just in case it goes live like that
because deathspike has zero single target value
if you dont craft your deathspike as crit/mastery you're trolling 

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

i just cant believe him sometimes
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

welllll
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
or a lot 
stacking any stat (outside of crit, but even then that'd be mostly for more cp from fok) is a bad time
my m+ set has like 15% haste and 34% mastery and sims say i need more mastery
how much crit are you running @stoic needle
that is a pretty decent amount of haste tbh
im just curious what like
~30%
okay that seems about right
a crit/mastery or haste/mastery with some crit would look like
I run 30 crit 10ish haste 39 mastery 7ish vers
And it says I need@more@mastery


29% crit 23% haste 18% mastery

ideally i'd like to get down to 10% haste and put those stats into crit and mastery
like 35% crit and 40% mastery
hey man you do you
How does the damage of our bleeds scale?
one day we should all follow the word of osh

Each individual tick has crit chance
They tick faster with haste
And they all hit harder in general with mastery or vers?
Yeah vers seems to be our worst stat
vers also has the perks of having DR tied to it and flat buffing all damage
don't discount vers
Perks of DR?
yeah i don't like having no vers whatsoever because i stand in shit a fair amount 
damage reduction = DR
Ahhhh yeah
good for high keys
its generally a bad idea to hard stack any one or two stats
esp in SL when secondaries are the way they are
tbh, any thing with crit/haste has been BiS for me but lately vers has been crawling up
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
1:30
Hmm
if i had a 203 instead of a 194 i'd have kept using it
You use it in keys?
you woulda been inting your damage sir
its sad when
Mmm
a 213 IQD is better then any thing 220 trinket besides phial
iqd is stonks
I don’t have iqd or phial yet so
happens every tier tbh
Doubt I’ll get before tier is over
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
just run more DoS 
yeah, i've been running enough to get like 2 choices of 226 and thats about it.
And I’m not good enough at sin to get KSM yet
Yes you are 🙂
Same 1 or 2 choices
i've never gotten the same choices
Nahhh
nah trust me you are
only one way to get better 😛
Unfortunately
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
Is there a faster way to set a focus target
I have 2 buttons on my mouse, one to set focus and one to clear focus
Hmmmmm
i just got good at mouseover kick, garotte and rupture
mouse3, mouse4, mouse 5, and scroll wheel up and down
it's alot more flexible once you get used to it
i use tab target to get the initial garrotes and ruptures up
garrote mouseover
If you’re moving around a lot how tf do you use a mouse over tbh
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
I’m not that precise these days like I was as a kid x.x
Wtf no I don’t keyboard turn
^
if Q isn't blind we're not friends anymore osh

What
q is garotte
Q is gar
e is mut
nah
E is sbs
do you utilize 1-5 at all? kek
yeah they're uh
I can’t reliably use 5 rofl
bruh you just named like 80% of our aoe rotation on buttons NOT 1-5
1 is snd, 2 is shiv, 3 is nothing but was vendetta when i was venth
Lmao
well keep in mind this is on a razer tartarus
Where is fok o.o
so this is what would be in the place of 1
fok is C
I see you truly are a man of culture as well.

all 3 of them?
dpad up is feint, dpad down is evasion, dpad left is cloak, dpad right is stealth
Use the Dpad to move in game tbh
free up more space on whatever that contraption is
and use pedals to move osh
be a real gamer
smh
Pedals?
for vanish, vendetta and push to talk
What on earth
good thing I'll be dead by 3021
Why a 3 button pedal
and never have to experience this
What is going on
one for vanish, one for vendetta, one for push to talk
He said pedals to move
nah
Lol
that'll just get you killed 
Push to talk pedal DOES sound legit af tho
it's so fucking nice
I can’t use push to talk
I had a priest in season 4 of bfa that used legit a DDR pad to move around
Not while doing anything of real value
because there is just no convenient keybind for PTT
mines control
we are all peasants in the presence of thiji higuri https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1019892739
Bro I was about to mention that dude
but them moving around with a ddr pad explained everything I needed to know about their performance
Plays with a freaking controller while RpPing lmao
he is literal god
Idk about that 🤷
we are not worthy 
YOU DONT
bruh you telling me I can play valorant on that blasphemous creation?
I haven’t started using mine yet. Nor my naga
if you can play wow on it you can play anything on it

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

Because al the buttons are staggered and it is designed for typing not gaming
Opinions and preferences
i use
123456
QERFGCV
shift + 1, 2, 3,4
and a bunch of shift QERFGCV
and a few ctrl ones
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
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
depends how dedicated you are.
I guess
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
What do you use for stealth
like, before combat or vanish?
Regular stealth
i just click it.
O.o
?
That right there
I use ‘
I was not the only one
i never have felt the need to bind it tbh
But I don't click it anymore, can't help you there
Some tanks I only get like .5 seconds to restealth so
I just got rid of the "zoom in" control and put stealth on Scroll UP
i use alt and mouse 5 
Can you change your modifiers in wow settings?
I remember people coming to my stream like "How is this guy legit ? He clicks stealth bruh"
So I changed it

thats funny

And now I don't stream anymore 
We need to fill our raid roster and M+ team for 9.1, then I'll probably stream every night
more assa content on twitch pls
Let's just hope I don't have to main my fury warrior in 9.1

I may have to main vdh at this rate 
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
"forced to play" PFFFTTTT
sometimes you just gotta do whats best for the team
I must admit that fury warrior is very different
Constantly wiping on p2 on last add is so frustrating
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
fury war is a ton of fun from what I've been told
Yeah
if i was gonna switch to something, i'td be a Spriest
Shadowlands made me realise that I just cannot play caster
So I just geared the melee specs that I found fun
Yeah so far I hate all ranged specs
Sin rogue, enh sham, fury war, and a survival hunter waiting at lvl 60
I am trying to level ele sham and its ok
But spriest/aff lock seem like the only ones I could really give a go
ew aff lock
Ele shaman is fun yeah
It just feels so weird being a melee boi and swapping to ranged
What’s wrong with aff lock
I got the same feeling playing ele shamn and fury warrior in keys
i just hate the way it plays tbh
Simple rotation does great damage
But you play sin rogue 
played lock for 4 years or so, and some Spriest in BfA. so it feels natural to me
Yeah I enjoy the random burst it has
I played rogue ret pally and enh shammy in wrath
and dabbled in ele
Yeah, i enjoy pressing more then malefic rupture and DoT upkeep
So it's not crazy foreign but it is weird
this iteration if Aff i just dont like.
But all we press is envenom and DoT upkeep
im more of a Demo guy honestly and miss Meta
o:
Yes but, its a build/spender build that actually feels fun. unlike Aff where it just feels bad to me.
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
Floppy noodle?
its like 2am, thats the best you get lmao
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
Might see lock more in 9.1 with seeds possibly making a return, play boomkin
I mean rogue shouldn't have any problem getting into keys
I know I dont
People base it on rio more than class
im 1200 and people dont seem to take me often but i know people require IO for things that dont need like 1500+ IO
yeah a lot of people in lfg want high io and high ilvl because they think it means they'll for sure time it
only downside to IO score.
wat necro soulbinds for raid bro
well placed?
SF
vigor or deeper
theres no difference really, usually deeper pulls ahead but some people go vigor cause its easy
yeah i like deeper a lot but vigor sims to me more than deeper
why serrated bone spikes op bro
if only this was the iteration on expac release
its gonna be even stronger next patch
+2 more charges and dots hits 2 targets around it.
for the necro leggo
Someone missed the beta sbs 
Any sim nerds around with a spare few mins?
hmm
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
hm. shouldn't be too hard to do I could see
Keep in mind this is with my gear and Necro covenant
Tyty
Does it mean that using CT, shiv plays a very small role? Like in m+ and/or raid? Do I avoid shiv windows entirely?
No
You still shiv
Trying not to refresh bleeds in shive window
I think you can drop ct entirly during shiv window on st
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?
Keep garrote and rup up 100% of the time
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
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
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.
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
Its not a rule you have to die by. But it always feels bad casting a bleed during shiv
Thank you
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?
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
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
I'm swapping between ep/vig and bs/ds to see which I like the feel of
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
Nice one, thanks for the advice folks 👍

Doomblade is better on hands or shoulders ?
ty ❤️ also I see that on warcraft logs 🙂
what level 50 talent should i use for levelling through dungeons?
crimson tempest right?
use ct for basically everything except pure st
how would i go about using it?
kk
In packs use before rup, on st rup first
alright

In ST outside of Shiv windows. You also never spam it, not even in massive AoE
Just keep the bleed up
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
Is the only reason doomblade goes better on hands cause of the SLG shoulders?
yes
You reapply
but if the pride will die in 10 seconds isn't it better to envenom?
10 seconds?! may as well vendetta and the whole shebang
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 🤔
if ttd >8s a 1-2cp rupture would do benefit more than an envenom
ttd?
time to die
even moreso with zoldyck
yeah, thats the only lego i have
Is there a ttd vs cp spreadsheet showing data values or anything like that
Not that I know of, but there are conditions that take into account ttd and cp usage in our APL in simc
That may change soon 
The ttd yes, not the cp usage
True
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
In general, it's worth it to Rupture anything that lives longer than 4 seconds
Si
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)
Yes
In practice, just do whatever you can to kill the pride ASAP especially in 15+ keys
do you use zoldycks or doomblade on sire?
doomblade
Doom, or Zold for P3 Damage
I see
zoldycks for prog

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
Doomblade is pretty damn good
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
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
You can also see what opener you use on specific packs, see if you can improve there if your dps is low
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
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
mhhh doubt so
Time in combat the same?
are you hitting your targets as often?
hey guyes
these are the questions to ask btw
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.
Hi ! what s your advice about Necro rogue for 9.1 ? ( I see all streamer playing Necro on the PTR)
yeah definetly. Like, i think i am somehow underusing CT because my uptime in the whole dung was 25% and his was 47%
advice how exactly
yeah
idk if it's like a "is it better"
or a "how do I play it single target"
or "how do I aoe"
its relatively the same cov wise, Venth for ST and Necro for M+ even more
Maybe he needs recommendation of some streamers that aren't playing necro?
is neco bis next patch ?
for M+
ok
venth is still ST king
Necro wins on cleave though
^
any moment another target is added necro wins
if you're that worried yeah, you can realistically play what ever and still perform
actually i found out that the "cheat death" from necro is amazing on assasination cause it allows you to reapply your dots
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.
it also depends on if that necro leggo goes live like it is
It was shadownerfed recently right?
I think I am going to wait to the nummbers are in
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
also if you seriously M+ the damage you bring is the least of your value anyway
i also havent been doing the quests that give them lmao
When you get to 38 you need to do the 1000 anima and 20 souls weekly to get the last renown
yeah, as long as you interrupt, CC things correctly. you do fine
because "you're caught up"
yeah im just lazy
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
I didn't even notice since I did both campaigns on autopilot. I can never understand people who play for the story
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
Is it worth going PB on Tyrannical weeks?
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
Hidden blades/poisoned katar tho


hidden blades 
Stonks
I'm still wondering wtf they were thinking
