#

dude we did a carry last night

#

and one of the carries was out dpsing our shadow priest

#

kinda sus if you ask me

hollow talon
rough creek
#

raidbots is telling me my 226 OH is .2% better than normal EoN?

nocturne herald
#

For a trinket like Salvaged Fusion, given is fine just holding it for Vendetta everytime?

amber mountain
gusty mirage
#

not bad actually

wintry mica
nocturne herald
#

Am Necro

harsh lantern
#

I’d imagine cd then

wintry mica
#

then just use it on CD the damage wouldnt be buffed by vendetta

nocturne herald
#

Not sure I want to deal with a 3rd covenant swap for Venythyr

#

Oh I thought vendetta buffed stuff like that. Ty I was going to just macro it with Vendetta to not forget it

terse talon
#

macro it with mutilate instead ^^

limber lion
#

Never ever macro it with a generator

terse talon
#

dont macro it with muti

nocturne herald
#

#

I have 2 on use trinkets as of today's vault. Shadowgrasp totem macro'd in with my vendetta, and now Grim Codex that I haven't macro'd in with anything yet

nimble tinsel
#

I have mine with Shiv and SBS cause I'm lazy

wintry mica
limber lion
#

Macroing trinkets with anything is actually a really bad thing

#

Well, not "really" bad

#

But imagine hitting Sylvanas when she's at 99% damage reduction and you pop your trinket

#

Imagine hitting a chain on Sylvanas to oneshot it and pop your trinket

thorny nest
#

When I sim legendaries with topgear, it shows the same one on all the options (doomblade), but in 'my top gear', it shows dashing. Is that a bug on my end?

amber mountain
#

I'm thinking either shiv (after shiv), or CT/Envenom

nocturne herald
#

That's why I tend to macro with Vendetta anyway since like if I'm popping that I'm expecting her to not be going damage reduced in 30 seconds lol

indigo shard
#

Hey team. My guild is getting ready for mythic guardians this week. Can we cloak soak the obliterate?

indigo shard
#

Okie thank you!

wintry mica
nocturne herald
#

Yeah that's why I asked about holding before* I won't be doing that. I just meant in general macro's to Vendetta like the PvP ones or something

wintry mica
#

yea I was going to macro totem to vendetta, but with the cd reduction its not worth

#

and like cev said there are some scenarios where you may want to trink without vendetta or vice versa

amber mountain
#

Cev, I don't see an issue with macroing Shadowgrasp Totem to Vendetta in either of those scenarios. If i'm popping Vendetta, it's because I'm expecting a big damage window. That said, I can definitely see potential issues with macroing to other more commonly used abilities

bleak sun
#

Are we going nadja with empowered Conduit lashing scars now ?

wintry mica
#

if you use shadowgrasp when there are adds up and they die it reduces the CD below 2 minutes

wintry mica
#

so you are holding it and could potentially lose a cast in some situations

amber mountain
wintry mica
#

the main thing cev was saying was definitely dont macro things to builders

amber mountain
#

I know it's not perfect 🙂

#

Yeah, that jsut seems like a bad idea to begin with

terse talon
#

yeah shame om that person suggesting that

#

:p

amber mountain
#

lol

wintry mica
#

its better than never using the trinket at least lol

limber lion
amber mountain
#

Yeah, i'm in a gear state where things are constantly being upgraded and changed, so I forget about shit all the time 🙂

limber lion
#

And Fusion Amp is a 1.5 min cooldown, Vendetta is a 2 min cooldown.

#

Never, ever, macro things together that share 2 different cooldowns.

amber mountain
#

Yeah, you'd lose a lot of casts that way

terse talon
#

i have fusion amp macroed with flag

limber lion
#

It's fine if you want to throw the sgt there

#

But I still wouldn't do it

brazen zodiac
#

i hope u all get good stuff :D

limber lion
#

There are moments where you want to use it slightly later or earlier

wintry mica
limber lion
#

Or you want to hold Vendetta but want to send your trinket on cd

wintry mica
#

I also dont know if its an optimization but when I used amp I wouldnt pop it right when I popped flag

amber mountain
#

Oh, i still have the trinket on my bars for those situations (if i want to run it earlier)

limber lion
#

Plenty of scenarios where macroing abilities/trinkets together is not worth it.

wintry mica
#

Cev may know better but I would hold fusion so it would end right when the flag buff would end

#

instead of casting at the start, not sure if haste effects the procs on it or not though

terse talon
#

yeah, true

#

im just old… dont need more keybinds

wintry mica
#

yea, for a while i had double on use and when I did AOE with CT I ran out of keybinds lol

terse talon
#

was 16 when playing vanilla. now im 33 and cannot manage too much anymore haha

dark token
amber mountain
#

wow... you're ancient (I'm 42)

dark token
#

scenario 1: if you have vendetta and fusion amp off cooldown, you would always use them together

#

scenario 2: fusion amp off cooldown, vendetta isnt. Use it seperately

dark token
#

saves button presses?

limber lion
#

Why would you have 2 keybinds for them

dark token
#

and it doesnt cost anything

limber lion
#

But then also macro together

#

There is literally 0 reason

#

to do that

#

like literally 0

dark token
#

blood fury is macrod to my vendetta

#

no reason to not add /use 14

limber lion
#

That's fine

#

No

brazen zodiac
#

i thought vendentta doesnt do anything on trinkets? did i read something wrong >.<

limber lion
#

Trinkets and racials are completely different

#

No, Vendetta doesn't.

#

That's correct.

brazen zodiac
#

so why would u want to save or use together if one is 2 and other is 1.5

limber lion
#

But there is literally 0 reason to have separate keybinds for your trinkets AND macro it with your Vendetta

wintry mica
#

basically every class damage buff is hard coded to only work with their class abilities

limber lion
#

Like you either macro it and be a dumbo, or you don't, as you shouldn't.

dull cloak
#

macro trinket with vendetta, track triket with WA, press macro if you need to use trinket works too

dark token
#

it doesnt, but if both are off cooldown you would use them together as usually flag is off cooldown too

#

and it DOES affect fusion amp

limber lion
#

lol.

dark token
#

idk i just like to save button presses

#

it doesnt hurt performance

limber lion
#

What do you mean

dark token
#

it costs me nothing to add /use 14

brazen zodiac
#

i like pressing more buttons its kinda fun

limber lion
#

one keybind

#

on a spec

#

that is LOCKED to 1gcd/s

#

will never hurt you

#

Also

#

You have 2 keybinds

#

You're already using 2 binds for it

#

so why would you not use it

dark token
#

exactly

limber lion
#

there is literally 0 reason to do what you're doing

dark token
#

so i dont have to press it? its literally a free -1 button press

limber lion
#

And you do NOT want to always press it with Vendetta.

dark token
#

maybe im just lazy but that makes sense to me

wintry mica
#

vendetta also doesn't buff fusion amps damage

limber lion
#

why does that 1 button press matter whatsoever?

dark token
#

cause i like to do minimum effort possible for max performance?

limber lion
#

Might as well macro Vanish and Envenom on it as wel

#

If you're going there

#

"Max performance"

#

Macroing things together

#

is FAR from max performance.

dark token
#

idk why people hate macros

limber lion
#

I don't think anyone hates macros.

dark token
#

you just have to think about every scenario you would use it then setup macros in such a way all are viable

limber lion
#

Macroing 2 things together though for Assassination is just not optimal most of the time.

dull cloak
#

macros are fine to use, but it has to make sense u can't just slap everything together

limber lion
#

For Sub it's completely fine.

thin imp
#

He's just saving one buttom press in the opener, I guess is more easier to do the muscle memory of the opener

dark token
#

exactly lol

limber lion
#

But you literally can't do a
/cast Vendetta
/cast Vanish
/cast Envenom
/use 14
/use 13
/use Blood Fury
/use Drums of Malfury
/use Potion of Phantom Fire

#

like

dark token
#

im not talking about dumb stuff like that

thin imp
#

He is probably using it after flag or at cd with another keybind

limber lion
#

It's not maximum performance.

#

It's just laziness.

#

Nothing else.

#

If you want maximum performance, you press your guardian trinket IMMEDIATELY when you start the fight

brazen zodiac
dark token
#

im talking about targeted macro usage to reduce button presses where you can

brazen zodiac
#

:DDD

limber lion
#

Not with Vendettta

dark token
#

cause idc about going zxzcxasd

thin imp
#

that's was the point he said it was just laziness

limber lion
#

He said

dark token
#

i have carpal tunnel and im lazy

limber lion
#

It's "maximum performance, minimum effort"

#

Which is not true

#

Me too buddy

dark token
#

vendetta bind exists, trinket bind exists

limber lion
#

But that's just a very poor excuse for playing wrong.

dark token
#

not like im losing anything adding /use 14 to vendetta right?

limber lion
#

You are

dark token
#

ok

#

what scenario would you not use fusion amp if you press vendetta

amber mountain
#

I'm gonna go get the hugging sweater

dark token
#

both are 20sec single target procs

#

they serve identical purposes

limber lion
#

First of all, Fusion Amp is hasted so it gains value from having more haste

odd heath
#

I have vendetta macross for best performance

/Cast vendetta
/Use fire-eater's vial

wintry mica
#

using fusion amp later in flag is more beneficial than immediately when you cast vendetta

odd heath
#

Best dmg amp

limber lion
#

Using it 8s before you finish your flag during bloodlust is the most optimal case

#

so you get full 20s of flag value

#

out of the trinket

#

Also

#

MOST trinkets you want to use on cooldown

#

Meaning you press them the very first second of the encounter

dark token
#

yeah i do use it on cooldown with my onuse trinket bind

limber lion
#

Not 6s in when you would normally Vendetta

dark token
#

oh i see

hasty siren
#

From all of this. All i hear is #makenightfaegoodagain

limber lion
#

Also

thin imp
#

is there a list of the trinkets that are hasted?

limber lion
#

Sometimes you want to only Vendetta, but not use the trinket

#

If you use Shadowgrasp totem

#

And you know there's going to be adds coming up

#

You're not going to pop it on the boss

#

You're going to look for resets from the adds

#

To get more value out of the trinket

dark token
#

if i have a scenario where the trinket is useful in scenarios outside my major cooldown i dont macro them

#

so grasp totem or quantum device i wouldnt

limber lion
#

Fusion Amp also has a completely different timer than Vendetta

#

You don't literally have to press it with Vendetta

dark token
#

but i understand the argument for pressing fusion amp on pull (1st global) vs vendetta

limber lion
#

You can press it in the beginning, 5s after Vend

#

And that completely voids you having it macroed in the first place

dark token
#

or after flag haste proc

limber lion
#

Like

#

Macroing things together is just poor play.

#

It's completely fine for Sub

#

but it's not for assa.

wintry mica
#

yea should clarify its poor play for sin

dark token
#

i think it depends on fight timer ultimately, if you get another partial usage out of doing it 1st global its def worth

amber mountain
#

Taking notes "Sub = poor play is ok"

wintry mica
#

good luck playing boomy without macroing some stuff lol

limber lion
#

Sub can't press Shadowblades, Shadowdance, Symbols and Shadowstrike manually

#

So you need macros

dark token
#

foreverguy says you should OMEGAKEKW

limber lion
#

But that is far from the truth for Assa.

vast forum
dark token
#

yeah i agree in general, i have like 4 shadow dance macros for sub for various scenarios

#

cause you dont want to waste dance globals

#

sin its a lot less useful

limber lion
#

But even then you don't want to macro trinkets/potions on it

#

Because it really varies on how you want to use them.

#

Depending on the encounter.

dark token
#

potions 100% i never macro

vast forum
#

that would mean i press pots on irrelevant reclears 😄

dark token
#

8s of fusion amp in flagellation is a fair argument, the on pull thing depends on if you gain a partial usage for 6s on boss kill timer

#

so ill prob split it to get the extra haste if it doesnt affect my usages

#

i would macro something like dreadfire vessel to vanish tho @limber lion

wintry mica
#

if you can reliably predict your kill times well enough to know if that couple seconds of holding will lose you a cast thats pretty impressive lol

limber lion
#

Oh boy.

#

Why would you ever macro them together? :)

dark token
#

MA proc for extra crit chance

limber lion
#

That doesn't work like that first of all

#

It's whitelisted

dark token
#

sadge

limber lion
#

It doesn't work on DFV

dark token
#

ok nevermind

limber lion
#

lol...

dark token
#

i have legion mindset thinking that my tooltips actually are accurate vs hidden behavior

limber lion
#

MA, the talent, has never worked on trinkets btw.

#

It's only the legendary that did and that was hotfixed with the NW shenanigans.

dark token
#

interesting

nocturne herald
#

I thought MA did cause that's why people were using it with the leap trinket in PvP stuff

dark token
#

that was the legendary

nocturne herald
#

Oh disregard me

limber lion
#

The legendary did yeah.

dark token
#

stuff like vendetta used to work on them too

#

pretty sad they removed that

limber lion
#

when was this

dark token
#

legion?

limber lion
#

aight

dark token
#

shadow dance/symbols would definitely increase trinket dmg

#

unless im totally cracked out of my mind

sudden canyon
#

im so nervous

limber lion
#

Could have, I'm not entirely sure.

#

Didn't look into rogue apl/theorycrafting much back then

wintry mica
#

I think legion was when they changed it from increases all damage you deal to increase the damage of your abilities and melee attacks

dark token
#

i havent really invested in the nitty gritty theorycrafting since legion which was when i last played seriously

#

so i may make some wrong assumptions sometimes

nocturne herald
#

At one point Vendetta was a 30% dmg amp > attacks/abilities, or at least the tooltip said that.

sudden canyon
#

jack

scenic osprey
#

if i dont pick the vault loot and go kill 9 bosses then take the loot from vault , would 9 kill count twoards ths week ?

sudden canyon
#

shit

#

fuck this game

cursive silo
#

Legion was what made the change happen

#

with Draught of Souls

dark token
#

yeah

dark token
#

and the tomb of sargeras aoe trinket

#

MA + symbols + shadow dance + aoe trinket was rediculous dmg for sub

wintry mica
#

but now its only shadow damage for sub and fire damage for fire mage that get buffs

#

they might have even removed the fire mage one

subtle gyro
#

Is dashing worth using before having the shard bonus, or should i stick with Obi? Opinions? Have not simmed yet

wintry mica
#

dashing is good even without frost set

#

but obe probably outsims it without the set

brazen flare
#

Stick with me homie

subtle gyro
#

lol, cleaver name

#

kuddos

fallen arch
#

Vault represents last week

#

So u can hold out on getting anything until after your raid, that’s fine

#

U won’t get your keystone tho

#

Which can be fixed by running a low one

sharp orchid
#

which conduit do we want in the upgraded slot lashing or well placed steel?

wintry mica
#

lashing

#

but you can just sim it

limber lion
#

Either of those two, you should sim to see which is better.

scenic osprey
#

so I can go to raid without looting from vault kill 9 bosses and loot after the raid this week , and next week's vault still 9 bosses slot coming tuesday

wintry mica
#

yea you can stack up multiple weeks of vault drops without grabbing anything if you wanted to

scenic osprey
#

@wintry mica that sounds nice but lol

#

can I hold the temptation is the question

wintry mica
#

did you open the vault yet?

clever kindle
#

That depends if you value progression or end game bis

viscid spear
#

No dagger or Phial peeposad
At least I have my 5th Dom socket now

clever kindle
#

Having the item later in the week wont help your raid at all this week

wintry mica
#

unless its a blatant choice or a m+ drop I will wait until after we clear farm to grab something from vault

#

or at least thats what Id do if I ever got anything decent from my vault

clever kindle
#

Right but again you're taking progress away from your raid for personal gain

#

So that's a personal choice to make

wintry mica
#

which is why i specified farm

scenic osprey
wintry mica
#

theres quite literally no reason to

north basin
#

in m+, whats more important on 2-4 targets, keeping envenom debuff or apply CT?

lavish lichen
#

I dont see why would would do that tbh doesn’t change anything

scenic osprey
#

i have a raid group that can farm first 9, and a group for m+ so i got semi carried for a bit lol

clever kindle
#

Just take your slot machine upgrade and move on lol

lavish lichen
#

Just loot the item you want ez

#

I needed dagger got 252 dagger ez as that

clever kindle
#

its true it's just that simple

#

you either get the item or you dont 50/50

wintry mica
#

yea but theres still no reason to not open the vault

#

nothing you can do this week will change what options you are given

scenic osprey
#

ill try it for this week lol

wintry mica
scenic osprey
#

its heroic KT sylvanas against the 15 key loot

wintry mica
#

you shouldnt really be running dashing in m+ so I wouldnt worry about envenom uptime in aoe

slim pebble
#

I can’t wait to loot my 252 phial after spending all my valor upgrading the one I looted this week

real bay
#

same bro

#

its guaranteed now

stark smelt
#

I tried that a few weeks ago, all my vault did after that was give me trash

#

But at least I have a 246 phial!

wintry mica
#

just do what I do and assume you will get trash

#

then when you end up taking tokens you arent as dissapointed

slim pebble
#

My first week back after a 2 month break I looted a 252 dagger. Since then I’ve gotten trash

wintry mica
#

I would do unspeakable things for a 252 dagger

kind talon
#

Sheesh

slim pebble
nocturne herald
#

I'd do unspeakable things for things other than my korthia ones

wintry mica
#

they are unspeakable so I cant mention them

#

yea I have a korthia dagger oh still

#

and im not even r6 RHsad

nocturne herald
#

Yeah both of mine are korthia and I'm not farming the r6

astral plover
#

im suddenly simming 400 dps less today thjan yesterday. rip

wintry mica
#

you done fucked something up

#

link it if you want me to take a look

slim pebble
#

We want our lashing scars to be “enhanced” right?

astral plover
#

we do

slim pebble
#

I’ll obviously sim myself but I was just wondering because I only have a 200 lashing but have 239 toxic blade

wintry mica
#

the ilvl of the shard you put in doesnt really matter

kind talon
#

Do you mean

#

Well placed steel?

#

Lol

harsh lantern
#

252 wps is easy to get a ways

wintry mica
#

you get 2 upgrades worth of bonus to the empowered conduit

harsh lantern
#

Anyways

kind talon
#

226 lashing is easy to get

#

Just do korthia

harsh lantern
#

Ye I got it finally haha

astral plover
#

@wintry mica

#

U see my sims?

deft widget
#

do we have a bis cloak if we dont slot with lego

wintry mica
#

yea im not sure why that quick sim is so much higher

#

oh that first sim has oth shard instead of dyz

#

but that wouldnt be the whole difference

kind talon
#

It would be

astral plover
#

Gonna laugh it it is

wintry mica
#

it should be like 100-150 dps i think

#

since its like 1.5% dmg

astral plover
#

Yep simming 9850

wintry mica
#

also make sure to run nightly sims and not weekly

kind talon
#

Rest is explained by the frost set sim fix

#

So there u go

raw fog
#

Hi all , whats the pourcentage of dps from flagellation i should have in my total dps to know im using it well ?

kind talon
#

Ez clap

late gulch
#

is poison bomb alot worse then tempest in dungons?

wintry mica
#

yea

limber lion
kind talon
#

Yes

limber lion
#

Always run CT

late gulch
#

ah ok

limber lion
wintry mica
limber lion
#

If you use Flag before a finisher, you're playing it well.

#

That's all there is to it

#

Build to max-1 cp, flag then finish

violet hemlock
#

And using it on cd

#

That parts important

wintry mica
#

depends on fight length, but yea

violet hemlock
#

Not missing a cast a better way to put it?

wintry mica
#

yep, thats the general rule of thumb for desyncing for basically all classes

#

only hold if you dont lose a cast or a strat requires it

alpine latch
#

You showing off my logs again? 😢

wintry mica
#

dang I actually gotta do the weekly before raid since we get an empowered conduit

cerulean nest
#

ay, 252 offhand in vault, grabbed r4 frost and dashing

#

decent reset day

raw fog
#

@astral plover i saw yours sims tried to sim the same gear without sockets and got like 2k less dps, domination sockets do that much dammage

pseudo nimbus
#

Guys if I play frost set with dashing + DS, BS - for which bosses I should consider changing to EP + Vigor?

cerulean nest
#

all except Guardian realistically

wintry mica
#

yea, guardian is the only actual ST fight

burnt star
#

I find remnant to be perfecly good for ds/bs

wintry mica
#

if you are ignoring orbs then yea

kind talon
#

Remnant is ok for bsds

burnt star
#

I mean we just garr/rupt the orb

wintry mica
#

you also are less likely to cap energy when moving for dispells

burnt star
#

Made our tank tank it close to the esdge on mythic

#

So all melee can stay on it

cerulean nest
#

ideally we're sub on nerzhul for the double shadowstep lol

hollow river
limber lion
hollow river
#

Afaik you can step every MD

#

As sin

cerulean nest

not if your group refuses to MD 🙂

hollow river

Well that’s not ideal either

#

So

wintry mica
limber lion
#

Ah yep

I can hit 46% crit but sims wants me to stop at 40%. feelsbad

Did I miss the great US vault unveiling?

#

Favourite part of the week

burnt star
#

Missed nothing

#

Got 3 token again this week

wintry mica
#

tokens for me as well

#

im about to just start opening shit as outlaw since i cannot get a dagger to drop from anything

strange python
#

well no shoulders for me but i did get the UH gem i need.

#

will have to try again on heroic

hollow river
#

252 phial is waiting in my vault prayge

#

Too bad I won’t open until after my 3 raid nights

deft obsidian
#

I was dreaming of a guardians trinket in the vault but rnjesus hit me up this reclear 😍 now I’m not sure what to try look forward to

wintry mica
#

lol why not

strange python
#

I grabbed some 252 legs out of mine

hollow river
#

I’d rather get full reclear loot first

#

And decide loot spec

#

Another H edge of night would be sick

#

But I need Veinripper

#

Too

wintry mica
#

i need all the weapons

deft obsidian
#

Still yet to see an edge of night, in any difficulty

gleaming jackal
#

same

deft obsidian
#

Feels Sadge

hollow river
#

Hopefully I get in on M remnant reclear this week

wintry mica
#

ive only seen one wep the whole tier and it was a remnant dagger in my vault

deft obsidian
#

Seen one remnant hc drop and one in vault, zip from mythic yet

gleaming jackal
#

the only weapon ive gotten this tier is veinripper normal

crystal delta
#

Ive killed sylv heroic and normal 4x now and Not a Single edge

hollow river
#

I have 252 outlaw mace

#

246 EoN

#

239 remnant daggie

wintry mica
#

must be nice

hollow river
#

No phial or H fusion amp

polar ice
#

So it's just the sims that were adjusted for the frost set? I see my sims are lower slightly

crystal delta
#

I have 2x pf dagger, 252 and 246

gleaming jackal
#

yeah got my h fusion on first kill so atleast im lucky there

wintry mica
deft obsidian
#

Max phial & M fusion, still no weps. It’s always one or the other isn’t it

gleaming jackal
#

yup sadge sadly havent gotten the phial either though

wintry mica
#

yep, I got 252 phial and totem, and a korthia dagger equipped right now

plucky isle
#

sylvanas dagger (HC version) seems to a small dps upgrade compared to a normal 246 dagger?

hollow river
#

How big of a hit did we take on nightly build

wintry mica
#

nightly build was fixed several days ago

hollow river
#

~100 dps?

#

I haven’t used it yet

wintry mica
#

its just people that run weekly that are seeing dps drop today I think

deft obsidian
#

Depends really, I “lost” 150 give or take.

wintry mica
#

anecdotally people say its like 100-200

hollow river
#

I’m using frost to rank 5 this week I think

#

I have the embers

wintry mica
#

math doesnt really add up to that much though

deft obsidian
#

Im 1.5 week away from r5. No bueno

r4 frost proc does about 1100 dps for me currently, the bug was that sinful's 6% was buffing frost damage in the sim

hollow river
#

Kinda torn on upgrading blood

#

But I think finishing frost first is the play

wintry mica
#

which would be like 66 dps

hollow river
#

That’s why sims were saying double sinful

#

Ye

wintry mica
#

but sinful also only has like 1/3 uptime

hollow river
#

My sub sims ahead of everything

#

Even with frost

#

Wonder when my outlaw will pull ahead 2ez

wintry mica
#

frost is really close on sub

hollow river
#

100-200 dps diff from blood at bis levels

#

Idk about lower gear levels

deft obsidian
#

Sub simming like 50 dps more over sin for me.

bronze wagon
#

sin is like giga op on boss damage for sylvanas so i'd go frost

hollow river
#

Sub sims like 400 more for me

deft obsidian
#

But that’s frost vs unholy

hollow river
#

I’ve already got frost R4

#

And I usually play sin when we start prog on a boss and as I get more comfy I give sub some tries

plucky isle
#

is edge of night still the bis weapon option?

hollow river
deft obsidian
#

I prefer using frost sin currently for prog. Also just prefer sin in general

gleaming jackal
#

yeah i can relate sin is def more fun for me than sub

wintry mica
#

doesnt feel as bad to get mechanics as sin imo

hollow river
#

Double Mythic sylvanas daggers are bis

deft obsidian
#

Sub is just higher APM whackamole it feels like

hollow river
#

But heroic is a bit different if u have a 252 dagger

#

I think heroic sylvanas dagger is bis Off hand

plucky isle
hollow river
#

Over a 252

#

10 dps is not worth writing home about

deft obsidian
#

I’ve 2x 246 upgraded daggers and a Sylvanas 246 is like ~65 dps increase

#

But a 252 is more like 90

hollow river
#

Yep

plucky isle
#

guess i'll have to sim it once i get one

deft obsidian
#

So yeh 252 MH/Sylvanas 246 OH 👌

plucky isle
#

thx guys

hollow river
#

Sylvanas dagger is way better for sub

#

Huge upgrade

deft obsidian
#

Crazy how much more. Like 240 😂

wintry mica
#

shadow damage too op

hollow river
plucky isle
#

does sub benefit from the weapon oil as wel? 🙂

hollow river
#

Part of the reason anyway

wide ridge
#

you guys think we'll see triple potency nadjia once we get all 3 of them upgraded?

wintry mica
#

yea that and they just use more CP than us

deft obsidian
hollow river
balmy condor
#

Sin conduits are trash

wintry mica
#

people vastly overestimate how much conduit upgrades give you lol

gleaming jackal
#

+1

wide ridge
balmy condor
#

Conduit upgrades are like 15 dps

deft obsidian
#

Yeh 226->252 lashing was like 18 dps

#

Huge pogs 😂

hollow river
deft obsidian
#

Meanwhile a warrior in guild was getting near 100 dps from upgrades

hollow river
#

Yeah some classes have good conduits

#

Mage and warlock for example

#

S priest and boomie have decent ones too

#

Iirc

wintry mica
#

nah boomies are pretty trash

#

outside of the covenant ones

#

shit i just did the world boss before i grabbed the jailer weekly

hollow river
#

Lol

deft obsidian
#

😂 I tend to get my coffee on reset and hit the assault/world boss. Last 2 weeks I’ve forgotten the quest before doing both poggers

wintry mica
#

well at least I grabbed the anima one so I can turn that in for the nadjia empower

lavish grove
#

Did anyone try BS Vigor build? Sims 100dps lower but I'm wondering if it feels better to play

brazen zodiac
#

oh no

balmy condor
#

We played that at the start of nathria before we got gear

sudden canyon
#

i kinda like bs/deeper strat over EP/vigor.

deft obsidian
#

Only really play it for guardian but it’s nice, feels a bit slower but juicy envenoms

burnt star
sudden canyon
#

the EP playstyle fits a bit better with current assa trying to keep 100% uptime on it just naturally has you pooling properlly.

#

imo

balmy condor
#

I mean ep is better because there’s a ton of random cleave in the raid

lavish grove
#

How does ep benefit from cleave? More uptime on it due to more bleeds and more energy?

deft obsidian
#

@limber lion you run PB or CT for Fatescribe?

balmy condor
limber lion
visual prairie
#

is tiny dancing shoes power good for spiteful?

balmy condor
#

Blindside is just raw single target

visual prairie
#

worth giving up shield?

deft obsidian
balmy condor
#

Idk the names tbh

visual prairie
#

2 free melee dodges every time you enter combat

balmy condor
#

Probably not worth

#

You rarely drop combat before the spitefuls come up

visual prairie
#

yeah, but if you didn't get meleed during the fight i think it would still be active?

#

from the start of pull

#

dunno. feral guy who does a lot of keys was promoting it. i was skeptical

balmy condor
#

Yeh I guess

#

I mean at the end of the day, those powers are kinda whatever anyway

#

So you can take it, see if you like it

#

Won’t really change much

thorn fjord
#

Kind of torn between continuing using maim, mangle over Well-places steel

loud light
#

it's up against stone ward so you better be getting meleed by those guys a lot to be worth it

thorn fjord
#

my WPS is 252 though and the Maim, mangle is only 226

balmy condor
#

That’s kinda fucked

thorn fjord
#

it was but with the upgrade to 252 its not anymore

wintry mica
#

I assume you are running doomblade?

thorn fjord
#

yeah

#

WPS is simming higher now though

#

but having the increased mutilate dmg still seems nice

balmy condor
#

Over increased envenom and poison damage?

spice spire
#

MM sims higher for me. 226 vs 239 WPS too

balmy condor
#

Fried

round swift
#

Roughly at what percent crit does frost pass unholy?

spice spire
#

NL diff chief

wintry mica
#

Only with doomblade though right?

round swift
#

When running DB

spice spire
#

Yes

wintry mica
balmy condor
#

I wouldn’t equip maim even if it simmed like 40 higher

lavish grove
#

Do you track EP with a weak aura? Or I shouldn't overthink it and it will just happen that I hit inside EP with proper pooling?

balmy condor
#

Can’t make me

balmy condor
spice spire
thorn fjord
#

gotcha

#

makes sense with the poisons

#

trying to decide what to craft this week... Really want DS but having Obedience for Sub seems so nice too

gleaming jackal
#

just make both 4head

wintry mica
#

It doesn’t take too long to get the ash for a r4

thorn fjord
#

i skipped torghast weeks 5-7 lol

#

i have the ash for a r4 now

#

but im a poor boy 😦

gleaming jackal
#

same Sadge

wintry mica
#

R4 cloaks are pretty cheap too, what other leggos do you have

thorn fjord
#

DB R6 and Zoldyk R4

#

oh and MA R4

#

i think obedience over DS considering i already have the R6 DB

wintry mica
#

I’d make obe then, cause I bet a r6 DB is better ST than r4 ds

thorn fjord
#

yeah

wintry mica
#

And you use obe for basically everything as sub

you make it up with add pad dam

im here looking at 30-50 dps upgrades and leaving 500 on the table, seems silly

nobody truly gets 500 more dps jus by being venthyr

yo i swear u used to be able to cloak remnant knockback

you'd have to manually add the chest to your top gear, add a gem, and then droptimizer

without the shard it's saying my 226 chest sims higher than hc Eye (probably because no crit on it?)

the crafted jewelry is surprisingly good

Whose getting the dagger when it drops for him, you or Rae? @arctic walrus

arctic walrus

well, I still dont have 1 so :^)

limber lion

Rae has one?

A mythic one?

wintry mica

I still dont get how the sinful change ends up dropping sim dps by like 150 when just looking at the math behind how much it should have been buffing

arctic walrus

rae has either double heroic or 1h 1n

Ah okay fair enough

arctic walrus

@shy dust what u got dagger wise

most people who upgraded UH is i believe

Unless they're clearing most of mythic

I bumped bek up to r3 for 20 embers like an idiot

limber lion

I just counted that I'll be getting t5 frost only if I'm on a full mythic run and only after killing KT. Welp.

I kinda thought I could blast heroic, do the weekly and get the t5 but guess not. Sadge.

u get max 60 a week if ur a 10/10 m guild

not a single dagger drop from any raid difficulty, m+, or great vault

hey join the club lol

I at least got a remnant dagger out of vault though so I only have one korthia dag

maybe one day a wep will drop for us

i'm counting on it

theres no i way i get loot from sylv

is there a WA for tracking winds of winter and, follow up, is there a point to getting a WA for tracking winds of winter

wintry mica
#

i dont know if there is a WA but there isnt much of a point

twilit hollow

There are weakauras and the only point is to make brain go brrrrrrrrr when you see 40k stored dam

wintry mica
#

whats the highest winds yall have gotten so far not counting tarra?

gleaming jackal
#

42k non crit is my highest i can remember

slow marsh
#

I don't play with numbers anymore but my winds regularly does like 2nd highest dam. Kinda crazy

wintry mica
#

yea its pretty ridiculous

#

i had a 65k on fatescribe that i think is the highest ive had

gleaming jackal
#

crit or no crit?

wintry mica
#

crit

deft obsidian
#

Genuinely don’t check often but last nights raid I had a 68k crit on guardian mythic

plain thistle
#

my max was 80k, rank4 frost

slow marsh
#

After I finally got my shoulders last week I just skyrocketed back where I belong

plain thistle
#

on sylv progress

slow marsh
#

On top bb

wintry mica
#

i had a couple 80ks on tarra with r4

#

but thats cheating

limber lion
#

My best was 129k on KT

#

With r4 frost

gleaming jackal
#

wtf

wintry mica
#

lol

slow marsh
#

The funnel is kinda dummy good for it

limber lion
#

Yeh, a lot of adds with dashing + ct

#

kinda nutty

plain thistle
#

"stop dps stop dps" 130k frost sorry

limber lion
#

Probably could get even higher if you just Env - Fok - CT - Vanish

plain thistle
limber lion
#

And just stand in vanish doing nothing

#

and waiting for dots to tick

wintry mica
#

lol i never thought of that

slow marsh
#

Omg

wintry mica
#

thats some cheesy shit

slow marsh
#

You are disgusting

limber lion
#

And all 3 of our winds would proc and push the boss

#

2 rogues and a dh

cerulean nest
slow marsh
#

Is it worth going from world 2k guild to 1500? I feel like itd be roughly the same

oak sky
#

i got a crit item in vault peepohappy

limber lion
slow marsh
limber lion
#

So all the poisons/bleeds around you would crit.

#

Which in turn would add in to the winds damage.

#

I will not say that it's worth to do so

#

But if you want to cheese a frost proc just for the luls, then that's one way to do it

cerulean nest
#

I dont understand entirely how the "buildiing" of winds works I guess lol literally just switched to it

gleaming jackal
#

for every crit you do the frost set stores a certain amount of damage and after 20 seconds you deal the amount of damage you stored

cerulean nest
#

ohhhh I see

frosty cedar
#

make crit crit also add to crit pile. Make hit also crit sometimes big dam

deft obsidian
#

Stores a % (based off of rank) of crits up to a max of X (rank based again) and releases every 20 seconds in one big boom

gleaming jackal
#

and it can crit aswell

cerulean nest
#

so then it that case wouldnt you want a WA to track that?

#

so you know when its about to happen

shadow tusk
#

dont really need it

#

since you dont play around it

gleaming jackal
#

yup

limber lion
#

There's nothing you can do to pump it up when it's about to happe

#

So there's no need to track it

#

I just track the damage to see how big of a hit I did just for the fun of it

arctic walrus
#

76% crit chance btw

cerulean nest
#

so play completely normally and just watch the big booms happen every 20 secs

arctic walrus
gleaming jackal
#

yes

cerulean nest
#

for sure

limber lion
arctic walrus
limber lion
#

best fight down the drain

cerulean nest
#

is the boom proximity based btw? like if it booms when im off doing a mechanic do I lose it basically?

arctic walrus
#

for example dotting an add and missing a 60k crit on boss

#

idk how they remove kt but not fate+soul

limber lion
slow marsh
#

just remove all of them at this point

limber lion
#

Unless you want to hold off adding bleeds/poisons whatever on other targets, which might not be optimal in most cases.

arctic walrus
#

oh I did not know that interaction

limber lion
arctic walrus
#

i thought it was simply just what u have targetted

limber lion
#

I was under the assumption that it just hits your target

#

Yeah

#

Same

gleaming jackal
#

same

limber lion
#

I haven't tested it out personally too too much, so I just trust whatever the TC boys say

#

But I could have sworn it hit my target every time.

#

But maybe not, idk.

wintry mica
#

there is one secret way to get more frost set damage

gleaming jackal
#

crit more 4head

wintry mica
#

yep lol

cerulean nest
#

ok ty

wintry mica
#

also my understanding is that frost set targets the last enemy that you hit with a crit

limber lion
cerulean nest
#

so on the nine for instance, if you have bleeds up on all three, itll just pick the last one that procced and only boom on that one?

gleaming jackal
#

yeah checked my outlaw logs and it def hits last enemy you crit

cerulean nest
#

hmm

#

so that would be a big waste on add phases in KT wouldnt it? it just hits like one of the skeletons

frosty cedar
#

can't wait to ruin parse on Nerzhul by it hitting 99% dmg reduction orby boys

wintry mica
#

if it overkills them yea

limber lion
#

I'm not entirely sold on it though because I still think it hits your target

#

buuuuuuut I might just be tripping

#

I'll have to take a look at some logs

arctic walrus
#

Well

#

The likelihood

#

That you don’t crit simply off an auto

#

Regardless of how fast you swap

cerulean nest
#

if that's the case then I'm for sure getting a WA lol so I know to flip back to boss or whatever if I'm dotting something else

wintry mica
#

i have seen some weird things in logs that I think would only happen if it was last crit

#

like hitting little guys on sylv that i never target directly

#

or a buddy had one hit anduin during the p3 transition lol

cerulean nest
#

do you have that log? ^

wintry mica
#

of one hitting anduin?

gleaming jackal
#

yeah thats what happend in my outlaw logs aswell it hit adds when my only damage on them was from blade flurry

#

i never target them

cerulean nest
#

i hope that's the case, bc then it really is just play normally and forget it

wintry mica
#

yea the guy that hit anduin was a frost mage and im pretty sure he hit him with a splitting ice lance during the 1 gcd you can get

cerulean nest
#

out of your control

#
