have an old PC at work that I can set up as the database for it
and keep everything internal to start
Yeah. Old computers usually do pretty decent as low bandwidth servers
I don't have much exp with free AWS though
Seems it would have to be very limited to be profitable for them though
Exsanguinate is my favorite talent.

most providers have generous free tiers (azur, aws, google cloud) but also some limitations you need to read up
Not accounting for taste, I guess.

but if we want to discuss hosting we can move it to #off-topic
Ah, yeah I guess it's a selling point.
its okay it seems blizzard doesn't either
its not tuned badly intentionally
it'd just be a nightmare to balance if they tried to buff it
It's dead.
it just doesen't go well with the spec design anymore
The best talent is also the worst talent
you could buff it by a lot and it would still be bad
Such is the life of Exsanguinate
basically would need a rework to become relevant again
what potency conduit do we use for m+ as sin ?
give us Expedient again
I mean.... Blizzard used to "balance" far more complex talent trees. Not balancing this few rows of talents is kind of lazy. There really is no excuse for having parts of such a small tree that no one ever would pick without trolling.
Lashing Scars for Venth, Sudden Fractures for Necro, WPS/LP/PK for the rest
ok thank you
exsang is not a easy talent to balance, so i wouldn't blame blizz for it
also exsang did when it was good always rely on haste snapshotting iirc
why is exsang so hard to balance?
Exsang relied on using Shrouded Suffocation and having 60%+ haste
^
Without both, it was useless
if they force the talent itself to work for sin, we would find ways to make it busted
why?
it was good in early bfa
Needs so much borrowed power to make it good
because you used galecallers that gave you a ton of haste
that you could then use to snapshot to exsang
and in nyalotha
why is it bad though? does it just do so little damage with out so much pumping into it?
You could oneshot people in arena
It might be harder than something like Subterfuge to balance but it's not really "unknowns" for them how the dots scale and calculating the minimum, average and maximum DPS potential of Exsanguinate shouldn't take someone that long to do.
With a single garrote
with corruption that drove the haste levels very high
exsang was outside of that not rly used
alacrity is just unfortunately better in all scenarios
It makes our bleeds faster and our bleeda aren't really great to begin with
If it doesn't work with Shadowlands changes but did before why was it ignored when they changed all the other stuff then?
also in bfa you now have alacrity thats just doing a lot for the spec
and that the talent competes against
We would need massive buffs to our bleeds, a complete rework of the talent or massive borrowed power to make it good
they didnt change exsanguinate because toxic blade was what got alot of attention
I mean they changed Venom Rush in 8.0 as well
We never played the talent in BFA
And still don't
They're both completely dead
vr is undertuned
The old VR was fine
No, it's just awful
It makes our 50 energy mutilate cost 42 energy
i wish venom rush got changed to being a shiv focused talent

VR was great in legion, but it was too op
So they had to tune it down
So instead they butchered it completely
If they redesigned it to be easier to balance it would be even easier for them. Something like "Increases Garrote, Rupture to their maximum duration and they now do damage once every second". Then you can tweak how often it does damage.
but then haste stocks would plummet
just race changed to Orc - I see Blood Fury increases your attack power by 122... Didn't even realize Attack Power was still in this game lmao. So how do i even find out/ understand what it is even really doing to increase my power- in terms of what?
its basically a flat damage amp to almost everything you use
nothing to focus/track
flat damage how though? like 122 dmg inc on each thing? just want to know what it actually does loil
like the math behind it
it's equal to 122 agility
attack power is the man behind the curtain ACTUALLY giving you increased damage
each ability multiplies attack power
its good
its aight
one of the better racials that lines up with vendetta for a baby bump in dam
yea seems really good... that plus Hardiness is lovee
the real downside is the fact that all your mogs look like shit compared to belf
(:
its no mechagnome
Orc is pretty much the best DPS horde race
but it's pretty good
female orc is close second in terms of how mogs look imo
I feel like none of the rogue sets are supposed to be that thick.
They look better on skinny types like Undead or Belf
i like the way they look tbh, but 122 agility on a 2 min cd macro with badge of ferocity along with vendetta is so dopppppe
for now at least
the attack power is flat
added perk of orc being bis for pvp as well
Right. does Trolls scale better later?
Yeah it's good, but Night Elves for rogues are pretty crazy in PVP tbh due to meld
belf, troll and/or troll zandalari can be better in 1 or 2 tiers
yea hardiness is insane... thats why i race changed for pvp
Belf is always better
Imagine looking at an orc's butt for 8 hours a day
Couldn't be me
i was going to mention orc getting outscaled but its such a small number people get uppity
female orc is just a thicc human
orc getting outscaled?
when?
when 122 agi isn't as good as other racials
but racials in general are like
maybe 0.5% apart aside from the outliers
so tbh no point in caring
it typically happens much later into an expansion
i think orc started to get "outscaled" around end of EP?
I was alliance though so i didnt have much stake in knowing
I don't have space in my brain for useless info like that
so Idk either
only thing I know about racials is troll gives haste, orc gives attack power, belf gives energy, and mechagnome is crazy
tauren rogue when?
oh and zandalari get to pick a bleed that doesn't work with doomblade or venomous wounds
the voiceover for /moo alone makes it superior
anyone has wa for rupture with dynamic pandemic pls?
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
mine has it in there
Nutty Blood of the Enemy on the preview
ty
Bring back BotE

Actually a really fun ability.
Putting all bleeds up on aoe then slamming that boy
Is it bad to save flag for vend every time
depends on fight, usually slamming flag on cd gets you an extra flag
really depends on kill times
Just use it on cooldown my man.
Yeah weâre on sire prog so I was just wondering what would be best
On Sire you just slam on cooldown and start syncing in P3
okay
Recommended Necro opener with MA? I've heard a few different ones
On 1 target?
Yes
Use other 2 charges of sbs during gem/ 4+ point env during shiv?
Yep
Or just spam 3 in opener to apply rup
Gem should proc shortly after
So you should be able to slam another, shiv vanish, do a bit of that, then sbs again
Cool thanks 
I can't even save myself 
like
im 220 and havent stepped foot into mythic
im jealous of people who get to do it
not when you have a boomkin on your raid team pulling 3.1k dps
Krey's in trouble

and a aff lock doing worse
Just faction swap, E Z
can i ask some silly questions that have come up while leveling?
Whispyr is a tyrant :/

press silly on cooldown
As long as youâre aware that leveling is basically meaningless on retail, I think itâs fine
Had some guy ask me for stat priorities for a level 25 one time
Was an interesting conversation
ok serious business only, so uh, is it worth to use an ilvl 110 weapon with haste on it over my 233 sire weapon token that doesn't have haste?
đ
heard chef

I tell @limber lion all the time, if you canât get a 233 this week, just do lfr and get a haste dagger, just as good
He doesnât get the dagger from lfr either
But itâs worth a shot
debating it, if anything happens or this shit gets worse. this mechagnome is going orc on area-52 again.
so i know that refreshing my dots increases the duration, pandemic something something, but if they've already been increased, there's no reason to refresh until they're closer to expiration?
specifically for garrote, where i feel inclined to refresh it every 6 seconds when i'm pretty sure that does nothing (besides throw out energy)
just refresh before it falls off
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
So 18 + 5.4 is 23.4
Thatâs the maximum for any garrote
If you cast at 15 left, itâs still just 18 from the new one, plus the 5.4 from the old one
Who plays on area 52 
Toxic I know 
like 3 guilds on it or
True whispyrâs guild, some crappy mythic guild and their one alliance guild 
Yeah
subterfuge doesn't snapshot its damage increase does it
garrotes from stealth do 80% more damage, so it just passively empowers the entire garrote
Satire orrrr
they're being mean
BULLYYYSSS
when i played a lock for 4 years, area-52 was my home
Not JUST you đ
Yeah
whispyr ignores us anyway
But very much you 
tbh though i dont even know of any other good horde servers
How dare he not respond to every single thing 
zuljin, tich, illidan
Illidan, zuljin, tich, Malâganis
Mal'ganis......gross
pretty much any high pop server that isn't stormrage lmao
@ me
so double garroting after stealth would give me an extra ~5 seconds of buffed garrote
that's what i've been doing, habit i need to break?
In ST, thatâs a DPS loss still. The only time we open with multiple garrotes is for AoE/cleave
ST the talent should be Master Assassin
garrote-amush-garrote is what i've been doing w my 3 seconds
Oh no
yeah, dont do that
aye
!mut
Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.
On top of that, for a single target opener with subterfuge itâll be more along the lines of garrote > mutilate > SnD >
was wondering about the combo point difference tbh
i've replaced it on my stealth bar
you only use Ambush with BS procs
yeah sounds good
Realized how it may have come off, but youâre learning a class, itâs not big deal. Weâd rather you ask questions than continue to mess up - itâs all a learning experience 
I'm working on becoming a multi millionaire dw
you don't even have to do my sims, friends don't let friends work if they're multimillionaires
mechagnome

oh shoot my poisons drop if i die right
no
No
Sorry you aren't allowed to flame unless you're at least 4 ft tall
Youâll never catch me with sub226 gloves
you arent allowed to flame until you're atleast decent
OOF
Says the heroic raider
Says the mastery lover.
MORE OOFS
IO check
Don't make me get 
Fake news
too much toxicity in this class discord omg
AMR was right
This is the poison spec channel

if we let the good rogues in here, Osh wouldnt be allowed in.
he'd be stuck in off-topic
You wouldn't either 
death would let me in because i dont wear mastery.
All of the cool kids are in OT
Whyspir
When you got a new nickname
WhySpIrDeAtH
The name gotta go
wihspyr
ouch
Should have changed name to «Did you check the pins»
AMR?
pinspyr
Oh were you not around when ask mr robot came in here during legion and told people the class discords are shit, and then made up random nonsense statistics showing how toxic the channels are?
wait
what
i just started playing wow a few months ago, 2021 baby here.
welcome to hte freak show
Wow
But I think infexious still has a video on it
I wish I could've seen that
Where you can kinda read it over his shoulder
That sounds like some a++ shit
They had all sorts of pie charts like âquestions answeredâ
And it said 78% of questions were unanswered
Or some shit
And they were like âyou know weâre right because we used a bot to scrub the chat logsâ
Askmrrobot is a raidbots-esque webpage
But they do their own sims
ahhh
o.O
And no one knows who their theorycrafters are
And who maintains their sims
Itâs like the Noxxic of simulations
ive seen people say noxxic is good
You should politely tell them to get a new hobby
Lol search the term fuck you and itâs like every hour in #OT
This wouldâve been funnier if he were here
But heâs also terrible at responding
Can you use emotes from@other servers ever
O:
gotta be nitro
How do you nitro
$?
Yes
):
On mobile
Iâve barely messed with this thing I just found out I could check my @âs
Jeez thatâs nearly a wow sub
I think thereâs nitro classic
Thatâs like 5 a month or something
Idk I pay for a whole year so itâs cheaper fore
I use Discord way more than WoW tbh
Same
Figure it's worth to donate some to the developer for a good product
I just fork up the 100 a year or whatever
Tbh thatâs how itâs been for me too lately
Log in for raid maybe a few other things other than that itâs chillin with the boiz and the occasional ladyfriend
Before Discord it was way harder to create lasting communities, especially since it's harder for them to have similar uses and how they work
Easier to explain to a newbie than IRC
Less fucky than facebook groups or whatever
Just a good product tbh
Used to use IRC a lot too
Random question, should I oil and stone my weapons or use stones on both?
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
I mean IRC is pretty great, but there's just too much "shit to know" about IRC to explore communities and get other's to join yours or whatever
The old irc days
Yeah lots of commands
I mean I could probably teach my mom how to use Discord, over the phone, with just a link.
Imagine doing that with IRC
Used to use IRC for RuneScape rofl
anyones sim randomly drop?
Noxxic says vers>crit>mas>haste
No
Anyone using that pawn string is screwed up lol
Canât you plug your own sim stat weights into it
Yes
But we donât recommend stat weights sims either
So youâre taking a âbadâ sim
And plugging it into an addon
And then making decisions from that
O:
And then if you want your pawn to be accurate, you have to resim on every piece of gear
If you donât, itâs inaccurate again
So you have to resim for every piece
When you could just sim top gear instead for it
But instead of just using an accurate sim type
Does Pawn have a website? Can't find it
I meant noxxic
But yea their info is much different than here
pawn in general is .-.
Ok checking it out. Looks like it has a designer with a good eye tbh! But the information seems reaaaaaally outdated. It's easy to get fooled by good design if the content is lackluster.
That might be why the stat weights are pretty whack. Just check the Gems and enchants. They seem like they are still BFA? Just guessing but not relevant to Shadowlands at least. Even though the title is AssassinationPvELevel 60 (End-Game) 9.0.5 Shadowlands
Noxxic is just a cash grab
Yeah that might be the case
From the ads?
It's way more lucrative to focus on good, marketable design than accurate data and information, because that shit is hard to get.
Yeah
Going to every class discord is hard? xD
But if you look like you are smart and talk like you know everything then you're basically doing what every fucking MBA in the world is doing. Just trying to "fake it til you make it"
It's not a bad strat tbh. You can get by being quite average if you can just sell yourself better than average.
I wouldn't know. I just see this shit: "noxxic is supported entirely by ads. please whitelist us to support our continuation of guide updates and site development. <3"
And yeah Iâm not speaking from the perspective of using the information if that wasnât clear lol
Ad blocker?
Yeah
How does one do such magic
I just use UBlock Origin. Good shit. Can't barely use the internet without some equivalent
Until the past few months I have not had my own computer or gamed for like 10 years
Funny thing about Noxxic: The stat weight has Versa highest but basically no gear in the BiS gear has Vers, that's just contradiction
Ive got a lot to catch up on lol
I was interested to see the BiS list if he has that weird stat weight
They basically just put in all raid gear almost
You have a lot of gaming to catch up on! Though I was kinda on a gaming pause during my Uni years. I did not trust myself to game "casually" since I never do that and I didn't wanna fuck up my studies 
Anyone know when mortgar wing opens so I can get doomblade
You can get it whenever in Twisting Corridors. Just go to floor 3 and check what boss you're getting and reset if you don't get him
you can just farm twisting corridor to get it
Think itâs 20 for the first and 10 after?
Or something like that
We had a convo about this like 3 months ago
Do you know what the bosses name is
He says, an hour later
it's 3:40am sir
giga weird, ima get a refund
Yeah it's 20s for first then 10s per consecutive after like @balmy condor said. Just tried it on a dummy
Wow Iâm good
yeah i was thinking it was 15 but that didn't feel right

shadowgrap totem any good now a days for us?
Itâs real good yeh
It scales pretty weird. the 220 is way worse than 226 for some reason
More so than other trinkets
Also it's really good esp as Venthyr right? Since it is hasted
Twisting corridor isn't open for me..not sure why. I know it requires a quest but the guy that gives it doesn't have one for me
Questchain from Bolvar in oribos?
On one char you need to complete the questline that starts from your Covenant but basically actually starts in Oribos yeah
Maybe you have one already in ur quest log in the maw categorie
So the first quest in his line is explore torghast, I did it but he didn't give me a second quest
Hmm
It's still time gated I think
You need to do a new Torghast-related quest each week
I think
Yea some quests of the chain are still gated I reckon
But it's shared between chars now
But most of them are not anymore for sure, I did it on 5 chars already đ
No way not 7 weeks
Way less
Guess I may as well wait for mortregar wing to open.
I think someone once said only the first quest is timegated apparently, but have you tried relogging
Maybe tied to covenant compaign? Idk tbh I never had any problem with this quest chain tbh
I have my covenant
Do you have no quest in your log pertaining to Torghast?
Or have another char that is almost finished with the q-line
Nope I don't @compact pumice .I turned in the first quest for the line to him that gives him the key
And he gave nothing after
Nah this is my first char
If no quest then you'll get a new one next week. Might be gated per week for the next 7 weeks until the first TC questline or might not be. Most people have done it already on one char so I don't think many in here have first hand experience on how it works now with all the catch-up systems but I have specifically heard that the basically only thing time-gated thing left is the Torghast q line. How much I am unsure of.
Shit.
I hate knowing it will be a while til I get my legendary when 98% of people have access to it
And it feels like such a big part of pvp.
I wonder how long til mortgar wing opens.
Just checked it:
"Currently, it seems like Torghast wing rotations are simply randomized."
Do they reset weekly
Yes
When does the week end.
every tuesday
Tues on US and Wed on EU
Just BEND ME OVER BLIZZARD
Also I haven't seen any Torghast wing be up two times in a row
So it's pretty much 50% chance of Mort'regar being up next week if it's randomized between the 4 wings not up this week.
you can make MA
Guess so.
But he prob doesn't have the ash for multiple leggos? If you just started farming Torghast
Guess it's better than nothing
it's only a week
How many Ash you need
its not that big of a deal
I better get farming.
Oh shit..there's tiers of leggos?
Can you go straight for an r4
Since you know...I got time
If you're this upset that you can't farm basically the first week then you should have a bit more patience with the game tbh
It's the long haul for most things
You can yes. It takes about 4-5 weeks Torghast's worth of ASh to do
I have 25k hours in BDO. Patience is something I have. Just gets a bit annoying when weeklies gate you and not your own time input.
But it doesn't cost more Ash to craft a Rank 1 first then upgrade it to a rank 4 later
They removed a lot of systems that you could farm by time input. Many people like it unfortunately, so that they don't have to "nolife it" to be competitive.
I miss actual farms đŠ
I wouldnt mind it if everyone didn't have leggos but since I don't that really kicks me in the nuts for pvp that's all.
But ya its cool ill wait thanks for the info
PvP gear takes a while to accrue.
Grinding that shit out is gonna improve more than a lego
For sure
especially since Legos are only damage
Meanwhile PvP gear is more about a combination of surv and damage for free (since it's all upgrades at the start).
Start grinding some conquest and honor. Look at some guides on how to quickest gear in PvP because it takes some finesse, more than I have, on how to balance your input and maximize your vault each week. Especially with bad gear.
Doomblade is more of a... slower PvP lego anyway. It basically gets effective when you can survive for a long time. If you rely on burst to end games quick then MA is gonna be a lot better for that.
(a downside is that it makes your defensive CD Vanish into a DPS CD, but with low gear it's usually make or break from the opener anyway)
Just figured doomblade was really good since im necrolord
ct on 2+ targets?
ToF? @peak haven
Theatre of pain
Yeah
For my master
definitely not
Google says its there
@compact pumice tyvm đ
you can queue for it though
Yeah you're gonna need to queue for that
Np thank guys
Soloing lvl 60 dungeons even on normal is going to be tough if you're not a tank
So just get tier 1 master first
Even with max gear
Yeah if you focus on PVP or want to have a lego that works on all specs now at the start it's a really good choice
I just heard about the nerf so I was worried
I basically use it for BGs, open world pvp, some Comps in 2s.
But Doomblade is kind of the better if you can't burst something down (also it's just always there so it's easier to use and will be more effective damage overall for longer arena matches)
Oh it's gonna be pretty bad in 9.1 yeah
Well unless we're talking Outlaw M+
There's a good bit of time til then I guess
So ill just make a t1 master til I can make my doom
Yes. Probably at least a month
Some think more, some think about a month but who knows, they seem unsure when to release it themselves.
Off topic question, why isn't haste our most used stat since its bled and poison dmg
I mean mastery
My bad
because our bleeds dont do much
you can only do each wing once for ash
1140 per week, plus possible missions
Yeah you get 50 for the first Torghast q's then you get as much as 200 in the end for the q's.
also those, yeah
But other wise doing layer 8 is 570 soul ash per wing
Oh wait so I cant even make a leg in 1 week
Mission table can reward some Ash too, but I'd say most weeks you should probably count more on those 570.
If it requires 1250
You probably get 110 from the Torghast q's if you can do several OR you are real close unless you also make a mission table first week and do quests until you get the Ash mission which rewards 150 more usually
I have 320 Ash and I've done 2 runs of torg
I've made a lego first week on alts at least.
But we get to go to layer 8 right away on alts
Once you get to layer 8 you will max out the amount of Ash you get from that wing
Can a high level take me to do that
Yes
Nice
Do you get extra Ash within the wing or only at the end? I've been stealthily all the way through to the bosses
So you will need to do layers 1 through 8 then do a layer 8 on a second wing to max out Ash first week
Only at the end
the high level will have to still do them one at a time though
they can't just take you to layer 8
No probs
Yeah
You'll be fine on the first ones
Might even make a layer 8 TBH, Torghast is not really hard, but it's gonna be harder than for most good geared chars at least
You can queue for Torghast in the LFG tool if I'm not mistaken
never done it
so not sure
But you can probably do some 5 man runs
probably makes it real quick and easier, but don't know about lower layer runs ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
i should be saving any ambush procs for after my vendetta ?
If you proc Blindside you use Ambush instead of your next Mutilate.
even during vendetta? i feel i'm dangerous close to overcapping then
During the first 3 seconds? Yeah you might overcap then but it's worth it over losing the proc chance for a new Blindside from a mutilate
I think you should be able to use the energy quick enough, unless you start with a blindside, muti then proc blindside again, but odds are the third ability will be a finisher anyway
it was in the guide somewhere but where should i be looking to be at with cp and energy when using vendetta
Overcapping energy is for sure a loss of damage. But in the opener at least you will be pretty starved WHEN you pop vendetta so that any blindside proc in those 3 seconds will not automatically lead to a overcap
But using a mutilate when you have Blindside is a big loss
With opener energy, lust, and lucky blindside procs it can get a little bit hairy
But usually deeper strat is slow enough to make it very rare
Even with Vigor it feels like it should be pretty rare to overcap. It feels really hard to overcap with that huge energy pool.
At least during the opener, but if you pool before a shiv window+mid pull vendetta and get a lucky BS proc there it might be harder to not overcap I suppose
But you don't need to pool as much energy for one of those Shivs+Vendettas mid pull, due to vendettas energy boost
are vigor and deeper strat the two main picks on that row
Yes
shame if so mfd is fun
Mfd in keys is okay
fair
But itâs kinda painful
MFD does sim Higher for M+. If you perfect it you should be better with it
To play subterfuge and mfd
But it's harder for some reason
as Assa
On Outlaw I run both mouseover SBS and MFD and don't really feel like it's too much (well on some pulls it might be hard to get all spikes out and MFD the right targets if they have low HP).
But it might be just getting used to, and since Vigor is so close in M+ I just run it instead
đŠ„
how do I gain good info from m+ logs? just checked my page for the first time and I have insane parses, but I know that's not a real thing
Itâa purely based on the key level and time from what I can tell
But the parse is based only on the key level? Or the speed at that level?
another silly question is wowAnalyzer maintained for y'all
No
Yeah I donât really think something like wowanalyzer is worth the effort
i think key parses on wcl are including every key level or at least segmented key levels, cause in each log there's a specific key% parse
At least not for how basic it is
idk though just ignore all those numbers lol
if you wanna do anything with m+ logs it's all manual
Itâll tell you like you had downtime on shriek
Which yeah fucking duh you did
Itâs shriek
Just kill it before the intermission starts EZ
good thing almost nobody logs those lol
i have like a small handful of randomly logged ones
i log all my keys, it's handy and no input from my side
I probably should start
i mean i use wowA just to yell at me for lots of missed cooldowns or overcapped resources
which is pretty basic, but it saves a lot of clicks on wcl
but again, it seems significantly easier to overcap here than on my bdk
what with the seal fate procs
Yeah but I donât think it bases any of the parse on damage. Itâs due to it checking many of the logs from the leaderboard which usually doesnât have an accompanying log so it doesnât have any damage done to go by. So itâs probably like some algorithm that accounts for speed and key level some way, and then also they key% probably only accounts for speed?
You shouldnât play around seal fate though, you play around the guaranteed 2 CP from mutilate only.
Well, it can, since the seal fate CPs are grouped under Seal Fate basically
oooh fun
Tbh I find over capping CPs is easier as Outlaw with Broadside rolls together with SS procs and opportunity, also with SBS being kind of unpredictable sometimes.
I really like doing it (well, that it does it auto for me) because WCL is a lot more reasonable in counting actual interrupts from stuns and gouge, while Details only displays full interrupts (and I think silence?). And it also groups how many spells per pack etc goes uninterrupted. Pretty neat for actual analysis
Just too bad that the actual parse nr is kind of yank. But thatâs mainly due to many of the highest âparsesâ are from the Leaderboard and doesnât have an uploaded log for it to count.
So the system has to be based on information from the leaderboard
If we want to be only using bone spike during gemstones / cap wouldnt we also want to cast it during the MA window ?
First MA window is more about getting your buffs/debuffs up
I mean on the vanish one
On pull that is
In ven
Yeah idk about later casts
If you can line it up then cool but idk if it makes that big of a difference to sacrifice other stuff to get the perfect lineup
Like if your on second ven and shiv is ready right away but gemstones comes like half way though ven
I wonder which you would prioritse to dump charges
dumping charges in gemstones is the only way that necro is close to venthyr in single target
so it's pretty important
Wouldn't it be logical then to do it duing ma as a higher priority then ?
I mean sure
+50% rather than 18
as long as you're not capping, that would be the ideal setup
no not during ma
Why is that
the MA window is shorter
What does that change though
Once the dot is on
They are both basically instant damage
once the dot is up, mut is a better generator during MA because it gives more CP
I think in that instance more envenoms outweighs extra chance to crit with sbs
whereas you can still get crits with sbs during gems
either way
but idk
I get what you're saying
Your only ever getting 1 enven in the ma anyway right
but that would be more of a question for the man himself
I'm just curious to understand the distinction
If the cp is worth more from mut during crit buff
Wouldn't you then want to either mut for both or nether ?
you can get 2 if you get lucky with crits
The distinction is mostly towards extra mut cp > sbs dam
envenom > mut > envenom
Cuz you're literally doubling your cp generation
Doesnt it max at +4
yes, and sbs doesn't give 4 unless there are multiple targets with the dot
vs getting a little extra chance to crit on something that already has a good chance of critting
you prioritize SBS during gemstones because you're guaranteed to use mut during gemstones as well, and if you dont use it somewhere you will overcap
i'm talking about with vigor
I mean if you're running vig which you probably are then yeah
Nah ds
Have you simmed both
Yeah
If the logic is that mut is better during crit buff
THen wouldnt you want to use charges randomly outside of gem
And only mut during gem too
no
gem is a longer buff
you wouldn't have the energy to mut the whole gemstones window
the energy efficiency of sbs lets you do both
law conduits? 
you are using outlaw conduit
imo run the sim and link the whole sim not a screenshot
so we can actually look at what it is
that's weird DS is so much higher imo but
I mean I knew it was close at least
Most people go vigor for the feels since it's close
Maybe cause of high haste
?
the last sim you linked
didn't compare the talents properly and had outlaw soulbinds
i fixed it for you and posted that new link which should be finished simming shortly
still the comparison is between EP/vigor and BS/DS and you didn't sim that
also found some other gains from the gear in your bags
wait this is a dslice sim lol
You linked dungeon slice
hold on
The gems on my gear are wrong ik that
Outlaw gems
But I just did the sim to be fast
The haste would make vigor worse
haste gems/enchants sim best for necro sin regardless of talents and don't really change the value of the talents in relationship to eachother
BS/vigor is worse than EP/vigor at this point so that's why we compare bs/ds vs ep/vigor
My understand was haste making dots tick quicker and the base regen gives you more energy which devalues the energy regen of vigor
Could be completely wrong
idk
sure, but we aren't at that point yet
in next tier's gear we will run ep/deeper
check the sim i linked, ep/deeper is only 11 dps behind bs/ds for you
similar to me
and hateful chain is a little better than memory for you which makes sense because it's hasted
Ye
just btw I took a glance at sbs usage, and you happened to link some of your characters sims, so here's a sim comparing certain sbs usages. I don't really have an explanation for it cause I didn't look too hard, but it doesn't seem to matter too much https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/96qcsZ8QsCxU9rqKGew1qk
I'm guessing it's some thresholding jank
Would it be difficult to add sbs during ma
Does "sbs during vend/gem" not do it during gem outside ven ?
Interesting
I remember one of the first passes during beta
was to get SBS out of MA
and then eventually it was shown to be a gain to cast it with <0.8 seconds left on MA
(which only really happens when you're kinda starved and can't get anything else out)
so it was sort of a catch-all
so with heirmir it was just kinda casting it to prevent overcap
Is that string only casting it during ma strictly ?
which
~actions.direct+="/serrated_bone_spike,if=variable.use_filler&master_assassin_remains>0&(fight_remains<=5|debuff.shiv.up|cooldown.serrated_bone_spike.charges_fractional>=2.75|soulbind.lead_by_example.enabled&!buff.lead_by_example.up)"~
yeh
My though process it to still use if about to cap, and during gems outside ven
so that uses it if you have ma, and the other lines prevent it from overcapping
that's how it works atm
only difference is that it also casts on gems in vendetta
I think that line only makes it cast during MA no? because it's &
Good Sin leggos to farm for 9.1?
You have to change the whole line to also prevent from overcap

yeah
that doesn't actually change the usage
you just got it back to the default usage
or at least it changes like
2 globals
yeah but that probably doesn't really occur so
yeah the usage is pretty much identical
How do you get to the strings?
Ah right so you have to find it in all that?
well that's 1 global, and the rest is still just the standard
Looks like 95% of it is the base code of the class/spec
I think the lesson here is that it doesn't really matter that much
if you have a sim that looks like this where it says full html report
you can click on that
can select something like here
and then profile
and it'll give you the raw input with the APL
yeah that works too on advanced sims that already have it
My page looks like this
Click the thing circled in red
if the sim didn't run with APL you won't be able to get it from the input
And modify the copies at the bottom
but the raw input in this case has it
Ah I lied I have the full html as well
the full html would be for things like quick sims and top gear
where you don't already input the APL
the advanced sim here already has it
so you can pull it from there
also to note, if you're using a code editor, APL is similar to make
(dot.serrated_bone_spike_dot.ticking*600),if=variable.use_filler&!dot.serrated_bone_spike_dot.ticking"
When MA is not at high duration, use SBS to apply Lead by Example during Vendetta, otherwise keep from capping charges
actions.direct+="/serrated_bone_spike,if=(variable.use_filler&master_assassin_remains>0)|(variable.use_filler&
whispyr why are you giving people the tools to their own destruction
It has been a very long time since Iâve coded anything, and that was mostly simple web development/JavaScript
I've seen some uh, lets call it "out of the box thinkers" come up with some gains
more eyes on things is usually a good thing
we don't really need the eyes
tbh
but it's all opensource
so it's not detrimental or anything
if anyone needs help it's shamans/warrior/warlocks
those guys always need more hands

if everyone around me stops saying stupid things
How would i check if vendetta is on target
I'm super reformed
Is it debuff.vendetta.up ?
yep
yeah I've made my peace with that

Youch

if you can't beat em, just become a frenchman and give up
so hypothetically if the damage domination gems are actually powerful, we would need to craft dashing on cloak and drop doomblade wouldnt we
Is spike not looking good for st?
I actually also see a possibility for duskwalker to be a good
oh really?
O:
1 min vends are kinda stonks
all depends on what blizz decides to do with the gems
cause who fucking knows at this point
Zoldy slots are also gonna be gemmed arenât they

but you can only socket every other item slot, on a thursday past 7pm when saturn is in retrograde
so
good luck

gating random nonsense behind more random nonsense
that's the shadowlands way

doesn't matter
remoria becomes immune
or 99% or something
idk shits weird
either way she doesn't end up taking damage
but sbs stays for a little
and then disappears too
the transition from p2 into p3 makes for all sorts of weird interactions
@balmy condor we need to make you a big time streamer so you don't have to go to work anymore
I thought you were working on multi millionaire
10 days since Whispyrttv strim. I walk through the empty streets trying to think of something else but my path always leads to the stream. I stare at the screen for hours and try to summon the lord. I watch other asian girls streaming but it is no good. I flame Oshosi's ilevel 220 gloves in Ravenholdt and try to resist caring about secondary stats but it is all meaningless. The end is near. I then usually watch some old Whispyrttv vods and cry myself to sleep.
