raidbots is telling me my 226 OH is .2% better than normal EoN?
For a trinket like Salvaged Fusion, given is fine just holding it for Vendetta everytime?
how weere they on mechanics?
Think u rip on cd
no, just use it whenever you flag
Am Necro
I’d imagine cd then
then just use it on CD the damage wouldnt be buffed by vendetta
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
macro it with mutilate instead ^^
Never ever macro it with a generator
dont macro it with muti
Rofl
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
I have mine with Shiv and SBS cause I'm lazy
pretty much every damage amp only works for specific class abilities and not trinkets, apart from a fire and sub conduit iirc
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
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?
I'm thinking either shiv (after shiv), or CT/Envenom
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
Hey team. My guild is getting ready for mythic guardians this week. Can we cloak soak the obliterate?
Yes
Soak 1 and 3 or 2 and 4
Okie thank you!
waiting 30 seconds on a 1.5 min trinket means you only get 75% as many casts through a fight
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
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
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
Are we going nadja with empowered Conduit lashing scars now ?
if you use shadowgrasp when there are adds up and they die it reduces the CD below 2 minutes
/gkick
so you are holding it and could potentially lose a cast in some situations
Yep, which can definitely screw up the timing
the main thing cev was saying was definitely dont macro things to builders
lol
its better than never using the trinket at least lol
They were specifically talking about Fusion Amp
Yeah, i'm in a gear state where things are constantly being upgraded and changed, so I forget about shit all the time 🙂
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.
Yeah, you'd lose a lot of casts that way
i have fusion amp macroed with flag
i hope u all get good stuff :D
There are moments where you want to use it slightly later or earlier
still iffy if you ever run obe
Or you want to hold Vendetta but want to send your trinket on cd
I also dont know if its an optimization but when I used amp I wouldnt pop it right when I popped flag
Oh, i still have the trinket on my bars for those situations (if i want to run it earlier)
Plenty of scenarios where macroing abilities/trinkets together is not worth it.
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
yea, for a while i had double on use and when I did AOE with CT I ran out of keybinds lol
was 16 when playing vanilla. now im 33 and cannot manage too much anymore haha
macro it together but have a seperate bind for on use trinket usage, imo
wow... you're ancient (I'm 42)
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
Why?
saves button presses?
Why would you have 2 keybinds for them
and it doesnt cost anything
But then also macro together
There is literally 0 reason
to do that
like literally 0
i thought vendentta doesnt do anything on trinkets? did i read something wrong >.<
Trinkets and racials are completely different
No, Vendetta doesn't.
That's correct.
so why would u want to save or use together if one is 2 and other is 1.5
But there is literally 0 reason to have separate keybinds for your trinkets AND macro it with your Vendetta
basically every class damage buff is hard coded to only work with their class abilities
Like you either macro it and be a dumbo, or you don't, as you shouldn't.
macro trinket with vendetta, track triket with WA, press macro if you need to use trinket works too
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
exactly
lol.
What do you mean
it costs me nothing to add /use 14
i like pressing more buttons its kinda fun
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
exactly
there is literally 0 reason to do what you're doing
so i dont have to press it? its literally a free -1 button press
And you do NOT want to always press it with Vendetta.
maybe im just lazy but that makes sense to me
vendetta also doesn't buff fusion amps damage
why does that 1 button press matter whatsoever?
cause i like to do minimum effort possible for max performance?
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.
idk why people hate macros
I don't think anyone hates macros.
you just have to think about every scenario you would use it then setup macros in such a way all are viable
Macroing 2 things together though for Assassination is just not optimal most of the time.
macros are fine to use, but it has to make sense u can't just slap everything together
For Sub it's completely fine.
He's just saving one buttom press in the opener, I guess is more easier to do the muscle memory of the opener
exactly lol
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
im not talking about dumb stuff like that
He is probably using it after flag or at cd with another keybind
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
im talking about targeted macro usage to reduce button presses where you can
:DDD
Not with Vendettta
cause idc about going zxzcxasd
that's was the point he said it was just laziness
He said
i have carpal tunnel and im lazy
vendetta bind exists, trinket bind exists
But that's just a very poor excuse for playing wrong.
not like im losing anything adding /use 14 to vendetta right?
You are
I'm gonna go get the hugging sweater
First of all, Fusion Amp is hasted so it gains value from having more haste
I have vendetta macross for best performance
/Cast vendetta
/Use fire-eater's vial
using fusion amp later in flag is more beneficial than immediately when you cast vendetta
Best dmg amp
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
yeah i do use it on cooldown with my onuse trinket bind
Not 6s in when you would normally Vendetta
oh i see
From all of this. All i hear is #makenightfaegoodagain
Also
is there a list of the trinkets that are hasted?
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
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
Fusion Amp also has a completely different timer than Vendetta
You don't literally have to press it with Vendetta
but i understand the argument for pressing fusion amp on pull (1st global) vs vendetta
You can press it in the beginning, 5s after Vend
And that completely voids you having it macroed in the first place
or after flag haste proc
Like
Macroing things together is just poor play.
It's completely fine for Sub
but it's not for assa.
yea should clarify its poor play for sin
i think it depends on fight timer ultimately, if you get another partial usage out of doing it 1st global its def worth
Taking notes "Sub = poor play is ok"
good luck playing boomy without macroing some stuff lol
Sub can't press Shadowblades, Shadowdance, Symbols and Shadowstrike manually
So you need macros
foreverguy says you should 
But that is far from the truth for Assa.
no thanks 🙂
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
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.
potions 100% i never macro
that would mean i press pots on irrelevant reclears 😄
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
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
MA proc for extra crit chance
sadge
It doesn't work on DFV
ok nevermind
lol...
i have legion mindset thinking that my tooltips actually are accurate vs hidden behavior
MA, the talent, has never worked on trinkets btw.
It's only the legendary that did and that was hotfixed with the NW shenanigans.
interesting
I thought MA did cause that's why people were using it with the leap trinket in PvP stuff
that was the legendary
Oh disregard me
The legendary did yeah.
legion?
aight
shadow dance/symbols would definitely increase trinket dmg
unless im totally cracked out of my mind
im so nervous
Could have, I'm not entirely sure.
Didn't look into rogue apl/theorycrafting much back then
I think legion was when they changed it from increases all damage you deal to increase the damage of your abilities and melee attacks
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
At one point Vendetta was a 30% dmg amp > attacks/abilities, or at least the tooltip said that.
jack
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 ?
no it's BFA
Legion was what made the change happen
with Draught of Souls
yeah
Don’t think so
and the tomb of sargeras aoe trinket
MA + symbols + shadow dance + aoe trinket was rediculous dmg for sub
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
Is dashing worth using before having the shard bonus, or should i stick with Obi? Opinions? Have not simmed yet

dashing is good even without frost set
but obe probably outsims it without the set
Stick with me homie
Why wouldn’t it?
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
which conduit do we want in the upgraded slot lashing or well placed steel?
Either of those two, you should sim to see which is better.
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
yea you can stack up multiple weeks of vault drops without grabbing anything if you wanted to
did you open the vault yet?
That depends if you value progression or end game bis
No dagger or Phial 
At least I have my 5th Dom socket now
Having the item later in the week wont help your raid at all this week
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
Right but again you're taking progress away from your raid for personal gain
So that's a personal choice to make
which is why i specified farm
no not yet , im actually planning on stacking 2 weeks loot tbh
theres quite literally no reason to
in m+, whats more important on 2-4 targets, keeping envenom debuff or apply CT?
I dont see why would would do that tbh doesn’t change anything
i have a raid group that can farm first 9, and a group for m+ so i got semi carried for a bit lol
Just take your slot machine upgrade and move on lol
yea but theres still no reason to not open the vault
nothing you can do this week will change what options you are given
ill try it for this week lol
2+ targets you want 100% CT dot uptime
its heroic KT sylvanas against the 15 key loot
you shouldnt really be running dashing in m+ so I wouldnt worry about envenom uptime in aoe
I can’t wait to loot my 252 phial after spending all my valor upgrading the one I looted this week
that too
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!
just do what I do and assume you will get trash
then when you end up taking tokens you arent as dissapointed
My first week back after a 2 month break I looted a 252 dagger. Since then I’ve gotten trash
I would do unspeakable things for a 252 dagger
Sheesh
I’m listening
I'd do unspeakable things for things other than my korthia ones
they are unspeakable so I cant mention them
yea I have a korthia dagger oh still
and im not even r6 
Yeah both of mine are korthia and I'm not farming the r6
im suddenly simming 400 dps less today thjan yesterday. rip
We want our lashing scars to be “enhanced” right?
we do
I’ll obviously sim myself but I was just wondering because I only have a 200 lashing but have 239 toxic blade
the ilvl of the shard you put in doesnt really matter
252 wps is easy to get a ways
you get 2 upgrades worth of bonus to the empowered conduit
Anyways
Ye I got it finally haha
do we have a bis cloak if we dont slot with lego
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
It would be
Gonna laugh it it is
Yep simming 9850
also make sure to run nightly sims and not weekly
Hi all , whats the pourcentage of dps from flagellation i should have in my total dps to know im using it well ?
Ez clap
is poison bomb alot worse then tempest in dungons?
yea
Yes, very.
Yes
Always run CT
ah ok
There is no secret % number.
flag doesnt actually do that much damage in sims its like 4%
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
depends on fight length, but yea
Not missing a cast a better way to put it?
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
You showing off my logs again? 😢
dang I actually gotta do the weekly before raid since we get an empowered conduit
@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
grats
Guys if I play frost set with dashing + DS, BS - for which bosses I should consider changing to EP + Vigor?
all except Guardian realistically
yea, guardian is the only actual ST fight
I find remnant to be perfecly good for ds/bs
if you are ignoring orbs then yea
Remnant is ok for bsds
I mean we just garr/rupt the orb
you also are less likely to cap energy when moving for dispells
ideally we're sub on nerzhul for the double shadowstep lol
Not necessary
With what setup?
not if your group refuses to MD 🙂
with ep/vig over bs/ds
Ah yep
Yes I’m just bad 😅
I can hit 46% crit but sims wants me to stop at 40%. feelsbad
ooo lashing scars got enhanced :o
tokens for me as well
im about to just start opening shit as outlaw since i cannot get a dagger to drop from anything
well no shoulders for me but i did get the UH gem i need.
will have to try again on heroic
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
lol why not
I grabbed some 252 legs out of mine
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

i need all the weapons
Still yet to see an edge of night, in any difficulty
same
Feels Sadge
Hopefully I get in on M remnant reclear this week
ive only seen one wep the whole tier and it was a remnant dagger in my vault
Seen one remnant hc drop and one in vault, zip from mythic yet
the only weapon ive gotten this tier is veinripper normal
Ive killed sylv heroic and normal 4x now and Not a Single edge
must be nice
No phial or H fusion amp
So it's just the sims that were adjusted for the frost set? I see my sims are lower slightly
I have 2x pf dagger, 252 and 246
yeah got my h fusion on first kill so atleast im lucky there
yes, only sim, you shoud be using nightly instead of weekly btw
Max phial & M fusion, still no weps. It’s always one or the other isn’t it
yup sadge sadly havent gotten the phial either though
yep, I got 252 phial and totem, and a korthia dagger equipped right now

sylvanas dagger (HC version) seems to a small dps upgrade compared to a normal 246 dagger?
Nice tip. thx
OP
How big of a hit did we take on nightly build
nightly build was fixed several days ago
its just people that run weekly that are seeing dps drop today I think
Depends really, I “lost” 150 give or take.
anecdotally people say its like 100-200
math doesnt really add up to that much though
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
which would be like 66 dps
but sinful also only has like 1/3 uptime
My sub sims ahead of everything
Even with frost
Wonder when my outlaw will pull ahead 
frost is really close on sub
Sub simming like 50 dps more over sin for me.
sin is like giga op on boss damage for sylvanas so i'd go frost
Sub sims like 400 more for me
But that’s frost vs unholy
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
is edge of night still the bis weapon option?
Depends on ilvl
I prefer using frost sin currently for prog. Also just prefer sin in general
yeah i can relate sin is def more fun for me than sub
doesnt feel as bad to get mechanics as sin imo
Double Mythic sylvanas daggers are bis
Sub is just higher APM whackamole it feels like
But heroic is a bit different if u have a 252 dagger
I think heroic sylvanas dagger is bis Off hand
aye, comparing the HC version vs a 246 normal dagger and its a 10 dps upgrade
I’ve 2x 246 upgraded daggers and a Sylvanas 246 is like ~65 dps increase
But a 252 is more like 90
Yep
guess i'll have to sim it once i get one
So yeh 252 MH/Sylvanas 246 OH 👌
thx guys
Crazy how much more. Like 240 😂
shadow damage too op
Probably why my sub sims a lot higher than my sin
does sub benefit from the weapon oil as wel? 🙂
Part of the reason anyway
you guys think we'll see triple potency nadjia once we get all 3 of them upgraded?
yea that and they just use more CP than us
Maybe this week I’ll snag one, want to try sub more once I have one
Probably not
Oil or sharpening stones same as any blade weilder
Sin conduits are trash
people vastly overestimate how much conduit upgrades give you lol
+1
true 
Conduit upgrades are like 15 dps

Meanwhile a warrior in guild was getting near 100 dps from upgrades
Yeah some classes have good conduits
Mage and warlock for example
S priest and boomie have decent ones too
Iirc
nah boomies are pretty trash
outside of the covenant ones
shit i just did the world boss before i grabbed the jailer weekly
Lol
😂 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 
well at least I grabbed the anima one so I can turn that in for the nadjia empower
Did anyone try BS Vigor build? Sims 100dps lower but I'm wondering if it feels better to play
oh no
We played that at the start of nathria before we got gear
i kinda like bs/deeper strat over EP/vigor.
Only really play it for guardian but it’s nice, feels a bit slower but juicy envenoms
Still better then mythic remnant dagger.
the EP playstyle fits a bit better with current assa trying to keep 100% uptime on it just naturally has you pooling properlly.
imo
I mean ep is better because there’s a ton of random cleave in the raid
How does ep benefit from cleave? More uptime on it due to more bleeds and more energy?
@limber lion you run PB or CT for Fatescribe?
Increases all damage, and more uptime yeah
CT on Mythic, PB on Heroic if we're soaking everything.
is tiny dancing shoes power good for spiteful?
Blindside is just raw single target
worth giving up shield?
Yeh working on mythic atm, cool will give CT a whirl
Remind me what’s that one
Idk the names tbh
2 free melee dodges every time you enter combat
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
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
Kind of torn between continuing using maim, mangle over Well-places steel
it's up against stone ward so you better be getting meleed by those guys a lot to be worth it
my WPS is 252 though and the Maim, mangle is only 226
Does maim actually sim higher than wps for you?
That’s kinda fucked
it was but with the upgrade to 252 its not anymore
I assume you are running doomblade?
yeah
WPS is simming higher now though
but having the increased mutilate dmg still seems nice
Over increased envenom and poison damage?
MM sims higher for me. 226 vs 239 WPS too
Fried
Roughly at what percent crit does frost pass unholy?
Only with doomblade though right?
When running DB
Yes
Whenever the sims say it does
I wouldn’t equip maim even if it simmed like 40 higher
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?
Can’t make me
I do, but it’s really not that important
It’s like 52 or some shit - or it was
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
just make both 
It doesn’t take too long to get the ash for a r4
same 
R4 cloaks are pretty cheap too, what other leggos do you have
DB R6 and Zoldyk R4
oh and MA R4
i think obedience over DS considering i already have the R6 DB
I’d make obe then, cause I bet a r6 DB is better ST than r4 ds
yeah
And you use obe for basically everything as sub
Haven’t opened yet, not ripe enough
That’s like 3 months old xD
I dont stop by assassination very often
Was watching danwar reclear and seen his name in shining lights, repping
congrats getting scooped by method cev
Actually, it’s probably been asked. Any future streams planned @limber lion
Already have an amp I assume?
ye
Unluck
gloves would be best if they werent a dom location
unlucky
prolly just take the boots
Wish I had those boots.
I want those too
Got em this reclear finally, last peasant in the leather crew needing em
Probably soon-ish. Gotta sort my streaming setup out first. Can't be sitting at 12 fps during a raid with the stream on
Tytyty
Wish I had you
Tytyty

did sims get changed? im simming lower than usual
/cast [@mouseover] Serrated Bone Spike?
I sorted it thanks man
Cool
new to assa, do you ever press Ambush in legit any content or situatioN?
just seems like a dead button both in pvp and pve
that talent seems like a meme tho
which slot should I go for the Dashing leggo?
decent, and just before I commit, purely going from Logs and being a Necro Dashing Frost = Best right
we did it, we finally did it
Sink what’s best for you
Sim*
anything dashing frost r5 will be best ST
BUT, venthyr pulls like 1k ahead of necro in pure ST
Typically BS+Ds sims better but EP+vigor feels more smooth
Where did u get that 1k from
i rounded too much
same
Where is @gusty mirage i changed my prof pic back just for him
he usually just pops in and out so makes sense
anima drought
im necro dashing frost man, still thinking of switching to venthyr that ~500 or so dps is hard to leave on the table...
Necro is fine
Aralon had to give up Ursoc's soul because Whispyr hogged all the anima
you make it up with add pad dam
im here looking at 30-50 dps upgrades and leaving 500 on the table, seems silly
its also simulations mane
necro is more consistent ye
nobody truly gets 500 more dps jus by being venthyr
o
Is there anyway I can sim which conduit is best for the empowered slot? I have a 252 well-placed steel vs 226 lashing.
top gear
already have 252 legs, the dom helm is equipped, the 252 bracers are the same 252 bracers I have equipped, the 252 head is a dom socket


ocular would have to beat 246 phial and 239 fusion amp
Somehow I’m going to get a worse vault 
my 252 options this week were the same haste neck as last weeks, and a 252 cape
this is my 3rd week in a row that the vault had no upgrades, feels bad
Was a strong 14 dps upgrade over amp for me last week 

do sims take into account the empowered slot?
yes
yeah it glows
would be silly if they didn't
yeah, you know how it was with shards at first. Just had to make sure.
I mean, shards was a thing because blizzard couldn't decide what they should be
kinda different
Remnant knock back has been finicky for me.
I just say a quick prayer before the mass dispel and attempt to ss. 50/50.
Damn, that's a bit rough.

You should always be able to step 
so i ran droptomizer bc I dont have a dom chest (kill me) but I dont think the sim adds a shard to the chest
is there any way to force it to?
spending 40k reserach to upgrade finesse and endurance conduits is soul shattering
At this point wouldn’t the pvp crit trinket at 239 be better than ocular too
Gland
true
not to my knowledge

you'd have to manually add the chest to your top gear, add a gem, and then droptimizer
shows a fat loss
meh
without the shard it's saying my 226 chest sims higher than hc Eye (probably because no crit on it?)
but I imagine with the shard it cancels that out
Thanks all xx
I know, but it's worth it when you finally hit that 7 DPS lashing scars upgrade
I did get it, cus im a high roller 
I think cloak has this 0.5 second immunity at the start that blocks it, but doesn't block it for the full duration
Really?
do I take KT shoulders with avoidance or just tokens
So 239 amp > 252 gland?
Not for me
I would've been giga surprised
if it were the other way
I have 43% crit
that gland would just sit there and DR into oblivion
sounds giga shit
Ye guess that’s true
@limber lion do u get r5 this week


it's still like 2-3% and frost set just wants to suck the life out of your crit
blood gaming
fuck yo frost
blood 🤮
whispyr moved to the dark side of sub
and you claim to figure this community?
Blood shard gaming 


even unholy is more ok than blood
Yeh
I cant seem to find crit rings or neck, im haste heavy on all my jewelry
depending on your gear it might be an upgrade to go buy a 230 crit ring or neck
im wearing the 230 neck cause I cant get a good one higher level
the crafted jewelry is surprisingly good
I have several 252 necks with no crit its getting annoying
yea im using the one from tazavesh but I think im going to go buy a crafted one instead
what is it like 50 embers a week or something
I am a dual spec gamer
It's okay, you'll get it next week. One week here or there, one week difference is nada
I do as the dual spec commands
Dual spec going into blood shards 
blood is big brain
working on a 0-1 upgrade a week basis
when people out here getting full bis in 6 hours
Yeh, it's a bit rough ngl
the one time I wish i had been less lucky with gear was getting unholy set right before the nerfs and wasting my embers
I'd rather take a 100 dps loss for sin than a 150 loss for sub
I got Korthia last week (nothing from vault), Frost this week (probably nothing from vault again)

only upgrade ive obtained in the last 2 weeks was changing my frost set from tier 4 to 5

Mythic daggers next week for sure 
did frost get nerfed?

oh I also got KSM so upgraded phial to 246
no
#tc-updates it was a fix in sims, not a nerf
we start seriously reclearing next week so maybe sylv drops it
Eyy good shit
and now that you know who can trade
bitch better be in idc if he's dead on the floor
We only did 9/10 which is super sadge
I was about to say you know who is going to get it 
Finally got a weapon this week, 10k club 
heres the exact same gear and my winds does less dmg on these two sims
If he actually got a second dagger from the corpse
that would be legit insane

did you even read
anything I said
aah no sorry
well, I still dont have 1 so :^)
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
rae has either double heroic or 1h 1n
Ah okay fair enough
@shy dust what u got dagger wise
0 dagger gang
the heroic dagger he even had to have traded from an alt who had gotten a 252 from vault and they looted it
1h 1n
we are down atrociously bad
wtf lol
I have all my frost shards at tank 4, was it a blood or unholy I need to rank for my 4th dom socket @limber lion ?
shitty game, what can I say
do dyz first if you only have 4 slots
Get your frost set to t5 before you start upgrading other gems.
Okay!
But after that you'd do Dyz then Bek
yea dont be dumb like me and do the math wrong
Unless m+ is bigger prio I guess
I got dyz yesterday, bek is r2
im pretty sure im going to be like <10 embers off of r5 this week
I bumped bek up to r3 for 20 embers like an idiot
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.
Yeh I'm like 55 away or something iirc
74 🤮
at this rate we will have all 3 sets r5 just in time for 9.2 to make them useless

i know i should be happy to have gotten a 252 shadowgrasp totem, but i still can't get over the fact that i'm still using 220 korthia daggers
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
main hand's the one that matters, i guess
maybe one day a wep will drop for us
i'm counting on it
because i don't want to pvp
shadowgrasp is sick though right
doin heroic rn
just got 2 peices i dont need
its fucking doomed
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
i dont know if there is a WA but there isnt much of a point
There are weakauras and the only point is to make brain go brrrrrrrrr when you see 40k stored dam
whats the highest winds yall have gotten so far not counting tarra?
42k non crit is my highest i can remember
I don't play with numbers anymore but my winds regularly does like 2nd highest dam. Kinda crazy
yea its pretty ridiculous
i had a 65k on fatescribe that i think is the highest ive had
crit or no crit?
crit
Genuinely don’t check often but last nights raid I had a 68k crit on guardian mythic
my max was 80k, rank4 frost
After I finally got my shoulders last week I just skyrocketed back where I belong
on sylv progress
On top bb
wtf
lol
The funnel is kinda dummy good for it
"stop dps stop dps" 130k frost sorry
Probably could get even higher if you just Env - Fok - CT - Vanish

lol i never thought of that
Omg
thats some cheesy shit
You are disgusting
We legit had problems with this in Mythic KT yesterday because we stopped 2% before transitioning in Phyl
And all 3 of our winds would proc and push the boss
2 rogues and a dh
what would that do?
Is it worth going from world 2k guild to 1500? I feel like itd be roughly the same
i got a crit item in vault 
Vanishing procs Master Assassin, so you'd be sitting at around 90-95% crit chance until you cancel the vanish
Ma 50% crit bonus for all the dots to stack up winds dam for big blastie
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
I dont understand entirely how the "buildiing" of winds works I guess lol literally just switched to it
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
ohhhh I see
make crit crit also add to crit pile. Make hit also crit sometimes big dam
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
and it can crit aswell
so then it that case wouldnt you want a WA to track that?
so you know when its about to happen
yup
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
76% crit chance btw
so play completely normally and just watch the big booms happen every 20 secs

yes
for sure
I personally disagree i've been wanting a WA for it because you can waste a proc at very unlucky timing
best fight down the drain
is the boom proximity based btw? like if it booms when im off doing a mechanic do I lose it basically?
for example dotting an add and missing a 60k crit on boss
idk how they remove kt but not fate+soul
That's true, but it's also quite hard to play around with because it will hit the last target that it gained damage from
just remove all of them at this point
Unless you want to hold off adding bleeds/poisons whatever on other targets, which might not be optimal in most cases.
oh I did not know that interaction
Yeah, Koji mentioned it in #tc-updates
i thought it was simply just what u have targetted
same
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.
there is one secret way to get more frost set damage
crit more 
yep lol
ok ty
also my understanding is that frost set targets the last enemy that you hit with a crit
Actually it was Solo who asked Koji what the impact of the commit was that included the change in the apl in #tc-research
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?
Looks like it.
yeah checked my outlaw logs and it def hits last enemy you crit
hmm
so that would be a big waste on add phases in KT wouldnt it? it just hits like one of the skeletons
can't wait to ruin parse on Nerzhul by it hitting 99% dmg reduction orby boys
if it overkills them yea
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
Well
The likelihood
That you don’t crit simply off an auto
Regardless of how fast you swap
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
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
do you have that log? ^
of one hitting anduin?
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
i hope that's the case, bc then it really is just play normally and forget it
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
out of your control
Nothing worse than FoK on painsmith to proc Cor/get cps and it procs on a ball that isn’t priority 

anyone know if u can loot sylvanas dagger or any of KT and sylv items from the weekly mythic plus quest
no
not sure if i should loot spec as sin or outlaw
no as in?
ive heard conflicting answers but never seen proof of someone getting a sylv dagger from the chest
hmm is yorick soloable or should i wait for some peeps
its soloable he doesnt do insane insane damage
could always say in chat youre on it usually at least 1 person shows up
yea wasnt exactly fast but pretty easy
i missed a group doing it by like 30 seconds so no one in chat was interested lol
got my 233 from the chest
and that's the only weapon I've seen in the chest so far 
I had 3 daggers in my vault today. 1 239, and 2x 252.. All downgrades 😄 Had to take the token this week
I’ve yet to see a 226 and now 252 dagger in my vault. Reeeeep
yea never feels good when ur lowest ilvl items are ur wep
so who maintains the icy-veins pages for rogues?
i dont know if it is maintained
seli
the green guy over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>
just noticed that its still suggesting people use zoldycks in raids and dashing is nowhere to be found
it recommends master poisoner in aoe with dashing scoundrel that doesnt seem right lol
