we have 2 WL now finally

glass tulip
#

yeah we do first mote flower and immediately run to synths

#

and people are still late

subtle tundra
#

my guild's warlock are cursed

#

i swear

#

my gm had to give an ultimatum last night

#

🤨

glass tulip
#

"git gud or bench"

subtle tundra
#

not bench

#

timid cloud
#

Yeah, the gates make that shit so much better.

#

I couldn’t even imagine it without them, lol.

#

I see why some took Theotar for double door.

glass tulip
#

it involves a lot of door of shadows

#

lol

#

door, sprint, step

timid cloud
#

Gotta save my sprint for drive by blinding.

oak sky
#

i havent had to blind

glass tulip
#

we have up to 5 hunters if we need

#

so if I have to blind something went horribly terribly wrong

oak sky
#

we only have 1 hunter but i think we have other people that are doing the rest

timid cloud
#

Yeah it’s to overlap the 30s entangle or whatever.

oak sky
#

like all our prog has been with no warrior though

timid cloud
#

So they can get the CD back.

#

Lord have mercy.

oak sky
#

both our warriors have been out

timid cloud
#

We lost our mage for today lol

#

Went to the hospital.

oak sky
#

we cant lose mage bro we have 3

timid cloud
#

Must’ve been the mental illness.

gentle flower
#

hey

#

is venth still the top dps for assassination

#

cuz looking at logs everyones venth for st bosses

balmy condor
#

Yes

gentle flower
#

is it nanja still or

balmy condor
#

Theotar usually

gentle flower
#

well ya ill just sim myself

#

for it lol

steel ridge
hoary remnant
#

Wl is a must have. The utility is so important HS, Gate etc

limber lion

#

any CoS chainers?

wooden kiln
#

How do you guys sim that high wtf, I see some 15k5 and stuff, I can't even it 15k with 272 ilvl?

oak sky
#

its just people that are getting a lot of mythic gear

wooden kiln
oak sky
#

your sim is fine man

glass tulip
#

Yeah comes down to gear

#

I am at about 15.1k 274 ilvl

oak sky
#

and im 273 edging on 15k

#

it just depends on what slots you get lucky with

glass tulip
#

Only thing I'd say about the sim is you could do a little better in the trinket department

#

Although IDO isn't horrible

steel ridge
#

legion timewalking is the worst thing they did this expansion

oak sky
#

idk

#

its an incentive to do something different

#

if there was slightly more incentive it would be pretty fun to mess around with pushing some legion keys

#

ive liked trying the dungeons these past 2 times

steel ridge
#

if there were tokens

glass tulip
#

I gain much more frustration from TW keys

steel ridge
#

it would be great

#

since its only 1 week

glass tulip
#

Getting nearly one shotted on a +2 is insane

steel ridge
#

i just sacrificed my CoS key for a group that immediately disbanded after the run

#

fun.

wooden kiln
#

I have either IQD or Treasure Cache 265, both are quite annoying to play but I didn't manage to loot Sigil 😦

oak sky
#

i definitely wish there was a real reason to do higher legion keys

#

like if they had a timewalking ksm or something fun like that

glass tulip
#

Everyone else in my raid gets like 200-300 DPS from sigil so if I don't personal loot it I won't see that shit for months

oak sky
#

i personal looted it

#

we looted 4

#

lmao

glass tulip
#

Yeah that would be cool to have something tied to it

wooden kiln
#

We don't do HC reclears anymore so I'll have to pug it I think x)

oak sky
#

then on rekill we got another one and i gave someone elegy

oak sky
#

and you have a chance to get it each time legion tw comes back

glass tulip
#

Yeah that would be really fun. But I've never even ran the other dungeons

#

I did dark heart once

oak sky
#

ive done a lot of them in legion leveling but that doesnt really count

#

ive only actually done cos and eoa at a real key level

glass tulip
#

I did all of the others solo while doing class campaign

timid cloud
#

You didn’t miss much.

pseudo hamlet
#

If I dont get haste buff from Theo, it's better to switch to Nadija? I mean, overall I hate the Tubbins and Gubbins parasol because of the movements and I am pretty sure Sims are showing 100% uptime on that?

hardy dagger
#

Ring aquired WICKED

#

Only 34 runs this time bless guild traders

timid cloud
#

Personally since they sim for virtually no real different I just keep one as sub & one as sin.

pseudo hamlet
#

Is it possible to compare the Sim with Nadija and Theo with Haste? Instead of just different soulbinds in the Top Gear?

timid cloud
#

I don’t think so? I just usually do 2 top gears & if I don’t really have much variation it’s usually the top results underneath the actual sim itself where it shows you the DPS differences in gear sets.

jaunty kayak
#

and it will sim theo with haste tea and nadjia

pseudo hamlet
#

Thanks mate, you're awesome! thanksfriend

timid cloud
#

Oh, you meant like that. That’s what I get for being tired.

pseudo hamlet
#

You both are! ❤️ 😄

slim wagon
#

is there a bot command or anywhere in guides how to fix pandemic timers for vendetta? I know ceverion had made some comments in the past but I did not find them

timid cloud
#

!cev

slim wagon
#

I'm not using afenar's so I'll have to see what fixes are done to do on mine xD

timid cloud
#

Yeah, the WA was posted a bit ago.

#

It’s an Afenar fix but it should still give you a general idea.

slim wagon
#

iirc I need to go to the current conditions, and make the pandemic glow if there is no vendetta on the target, and add a new condition if there is it should glow pandemic for me on the new timers ?

#

I've found his weakaura link just trying to figure out how to fix mine 😛

trim cairn
#

Does the great vault m+ loot come from only the dungeons you run? So theoretically you could only run Plaguefall 8 times a week and all 3 options would be from Plaguefall?

limber lion
#

The Afenar-tag pretty much only refers to the look of the weakaura, the icon/text/colors and whatnot

#

You can still modify it to your liking as much as you want

slim wagon
#

I got a pack at the start, I liked the general idea, so I started modifying it bit by bit to my liking over sl duration but his garrotte has a few extra conditions and triggers I'm trying to understand before I make changes

quasi ledge
limber lion
#

Much prefer his icons/fonts/colors to Luxthos and whatever other alternatives there are.

slim wagon
#

I;m using luxthos at the moment, tried afenar's customizing it to my liking but my short attention span and frustration at learning weakauras makes me spend hours to do modifications that need like 30mins for most people. I have some other sub only packages from popular ui's but I'm too much of an old dog to use new weakauras, I'll play even worse than usual for a month if I change

#

*customized luxthos

subtle tundra
#

fuck this im never playing assa m+ on tyra

zinc frost
subtle tundra
#

horrible class design happened

trim cairn
subtle tundra
#

imagine this

#

you go into pack

#

you use flag

#

you use vendetta

#

the mob dies in the first 10 secs of vendetta

#

you dont get full flag

#

mob drops sanguine

#

heals other mobs

#

i cant even do stops

#

i played a mists, having to do stops during flag

trim cairn
#

I feel you but don't get which part of that is related to tyra

slim wagon
#

but you can demolish both tree and ingra malloch on mists on high tyrra 😄

trim cairn
#

Compared to just being sanguine issues

subtle tundra
#

that dmg you did

#

sped the key

#

by 0 seconds

#

bcs you still have to kill the rest of the pack

zinc frost
#

Because mobs die so quick on tyrannical no full use out of vendetta on mobs that are melted by SV/destro aoe

trim cairn
#

Even on the high keys you do?

subtle tundra
#

yes

trim cairn
#

Wtf lol how hard are ya'll pumping jesus

#

But you get full flag stacks for sure

subtle tundra
#

this season keys are capped on survivability

#

not dmg

subtle tundra
#

and then you have to stop a mob

#

during flag

#

meaning you hold gcds

#

so you get 20 stack flag

#

its just

#

horrible

trim cairn
#

Sadge, I looked to you to confirm assa viable in high keys

#

Dream broken

subtle tundra
#

maybe soa

zinc frost
#

Don’t worry our time will come again copium

subtle tundra
#

agaiN?!??

trim cairn
zinc frost
#

It’s not about aoe it’s about prio dmg

trim cairn
#

Why do you need prio damage if they're melted by SV/destro aoe before vendetta/flag even expires

#

I'm asking if vendetta is even useful when you don't need to funnel on aoe

subtle tundra
#

ok

zinc frost
#

That's the whole point of frustration though during tyrannical because you can't get much out of 4pc.

subtle tundra
#

then why play assa if vendetta is useless

#

thats the problem

#

assa has ZERO aoe

#

NONE

trim cairn
#

Ye for sure it's trash

subtle tundra
#

it only has prio dmg

trim cairn
#

So on tyra weeks rogues are trash in general?

steel ridge
#

i got it!

subtle tundra
#

no, cause sub still does ok aoe, ok st and can do basically all the stops

trim cairn
#

Sure but sub is trash compared to a second destro and since mobs melt you don't need funnel

storm onyx
#

i kind of made peace with keeping up with tank dps /sigh

trim cairn
#

Or? I'm just looking at +27 logs

subtle tundra
#

you need prio

#

you kill all mobs around big hp

#

do you just st

#

and who's gonna stop

#

mists bites, devours, fishsticks

#

solo a caster in soa

#

^ assa cant do any of those

zinc frost
#

Can't even soothe anymore

trim cairn
solid venture
#

some random rogue in cos key who went afk after 1st boss up until last boss got the ring I SWEAR TO GOD IM LOSING MY MIND

real bay
#

wtf

glass tulip
#

Now it's your turn, just afk til the end and you'll get one

trim cairn
#

I just find the entire thing to be a bit hyperbole because flag deals like 50-70k per cast and your ST damage is between 13 and 15k so vendetta with the 4pc shouldn't add the extra damage to kill a big hp mob before you even get full flag/vendetta?

solid venture
#

i've been farming L's for 3 days straight

trim cairn
#

Looking at logs for Halls of Atonement you can see that a hunter does more prio damage while doing AoE than a rogue does when funneling pepehands

#

On top of doing 10k more overall dps

solid venture
#

rogues are just

#

down bad this expansion

#

actually down real bad

#

what patch are you guys playing?

#

rogue is fine

subtle tundra
#

i wanna live the days where i can be top dps in a dungeon as a rogue

hollow river
#

Rogue is garbanzo

subtle tundra
#

i used to be able to compete for top dps in bfa :((

hollow escarp
#

one thing has not changed though

#

rogue being in most meta comps for m+

trim cairn
subtle tundra
#

rogue bfa - fat dps, omega stops, ST and AOE, shroud required for skips
rogue sl - prio, cheap shot slave :////////////

Cloaked in shadows or condensed anima sphere for endurance?

hollow escarp
#

condensed

junior pulsar
#

Cool rt

#

ty* 😄

#

How come bonesmith heirmir is better than emeni with all the agi buffs from SBS?

hollow escarp
#

heimir is like 3% main stat all the time

drifting cosmos
#

🤔 rogue still meta, just dmg cant compete with hunters locks

#

altho i dont think you want stack hunters locks neither

marble hemlock
#

damage isnt the solution to everything

drifting cosmos
#

also i think hunters and locks are just plain overtuned too much

#

not sure how it looks on top end, but keys i did around 20s sv/locks usually 20% higher than other dps overall

hollow escarp
#

yeah, but on high keys hunters need externals each other pack 🙂

#

while rogue and lock just live

drifting cosmos
#

yea hunters are way too squishy

#

i think that applies to all mails?

hollow escarp
#

shamans have decent defensives

drifting cosmos
#

enhances/ele feel squishy to me

#

not sure about healer

#

but they also do big dmg

hollow escarp
#

astral shift is kinda low cd and big dr

#

nothing crazy though, but way better than what hunters have

strange python
#

Question about the snapshotting tech. How do I refresh the bleeds that I reapply at the end of vendetta? Normal pandemic or do I let them run out first as if I was playing exsang?

marble hemlock
#

as late as possible

#

so within the last sec or two

#

basically you wanna refresh before the last tick but after the second-to-last, but that wont always be possible

strange python
#

So the same as I would refresh the bleeds as late as possible inside vendetta?

marble hemlock
#

within vendetta youre not refreshing as late as possible

strange python
#

before it runs out no?

trim cairn
#

Looking at logs you just wanna refresh rupture and garrote primarily right before the vendetta/flag overlap runs out

strange python
#

yeah

#

thats not the ones Im talking about though.

#

I mean after that

marble hemlock
#

thats not what i meant with "as late as possible"

hollow escarp
#

you still follow pandemic rules

marble hemlock
#

during vendetta you follow pandemic (but obviously pandemic is half as long), and then you refresh both right before vendetta ends. after vendetta runs out, you ideally refresh between the last and second to last ticks (as the last one carries over into the next cast regardless)

#

im not sure what the exact cutoff is for refreshing rupture even if its say 6 or 7sec left to get a full 15sec snapshotted rupture

#

dunno if koji or brian played around with that a bit

strange python
#

ok so to confirm, I would want to refresh them as close to running out as possible right?

marble hemlock
#

Yes

strange python
#

thank you

#

Any gamers ?

hollow escarp
#

only gamers

ebon notch
slow marsh
#

Nothing I just woke up

craggy oak
#

He will ignore ct if it meens he wont have the globals to refresh rup + garrote. He also hits its 2nd garrote on cd within ven window, so that its up right before the end of vendetta.

subtle tundra
#

maybe assa in streets? idk sub dps feels low

iron orchid
#

gratz on 28 tho

subtle tundra
#

ty

iron orchid
#

i think assa in streets could be a thing

#

esp in tyrannical

subtle tundra
#

if i play any more high streets ill try it

#

there are no stops

iron orchid
#

where are you going now ?

#

i can't watch streams i'm at work KazuPanik1

check the class tuning post

oh, i thought that was a joke

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

thats are actually reasonable changes

#

nice

iron orchid
#

where's da post tho

#

can't find this

drifting cosmos
#

Kappa do we know how impactful it is, roughly?

gusty mirage
#

wait

#

wrong post

iron orchid
#

thank you hug

gusty mirage
iron orchid
#

i mean, just look at varas details from earlier

#

there aren't that many 8+ target pulls in streets

drifting cosmos
#

kekw a step in good direction then

iron orchid
#

yet survival is 20k+

marble ruin
#

Varas, you think MFD over Deeper Strat is a huge dps gain in dungeons? I broke up with kevin last night moon2PH

iron orchid
#

but just wait for him to confirm i guess

vestal wren
#

its still good to have target caps more uniform

vestal wren
#

even if it does not mean survival gets actually a strong nerf

hollow river
marble ruin
#

yea playing when playing vent I should have added

gusty mirage
#

also who tf balances this shit

#

wildfire cluster is okay

#

but obedience at 1% haste and 1% vers was too strong?

slender berry
#

2 different people, thats the diffrence i assume

vestal wren
#

it is a dev eram

#

*team

drifting cosmos
#

Kappa balance at bliz

vestal wren
#

also it is to this day unclear what the decisions are based on

hollow river
gusty mirage
#

I'm sure that extra 15% vers was going to make us broken dead

hollow river
vestal wren
#

community perception?

#

50%tile logs?

gusty mirage
#

unfortunate

gusty mirage
#

if that's your barometer for "does nothing"

#

homie I got some news for you

hollow river
#

Bro

drifting cosmos
#

prayge pray for another 30% fok buff

hollow river
#

It’s going to be as effective as our FoK buff

vestal wren
#

blizz would need to communicate with us to allow us to know what balancing is about

hollow river
gusty mirage
#

maybe it'll do more than my banshee's blight now

#

with another 30% buff

#

KEK

drifting cosmos
#

kekw that fok buff, almost made me laugh

gusty mirage
#

outlaw's set is fucked? buff blade flurry by 10%

#

assassination's damage is meh?

#

fok by 30% baby

#

that'll fix it

hollow river
#

Oxi needs an aa ring?

#

Let’s hide it from him

vestal wren
#

idk i think assassination is in a great position, even tho it isn't super good in dungeons

hollow river
drifting cosmos
#

Kappa pvp spec sin

gusty mirage
#

and doesn't justify one rogue

#

let alone 2

vestal wren
#

rly comes down to what you compare it to

gusty mirage
#

maybe halondrus?

#

idk

vestal wren
#

but sure

#

sub is rly strong on halondrus and sin/sub seem good on jailer

#

so 2 key fights in the raid

hollow river
#

Halondrus is definitely 2 rogue zone

#

Easily

vestal wren
#

ofc anduin is the big stinker

subtle tundra

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

you could complain about some inconsistency in buffs

gusty mirage
#

see what I did there?

#

DESTROy

vestal wren
#

e.g. how did paladin end up buffed to a point it beats all rogue specs

brazen zodiac
#

lol

vestal wren
#

or how did wl get to the point that it could be considered its own tier

#

a lot of balancing decisions are fairly random

gusty mirage
subtle tundra
#

How is assa still so bad in m+ kek, even if it did the same dmg as sub or more it wouldn't be played

gusty mirage
#

they're almost a normie like the rest of us

gusty mirage
balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

and then took those away

balmy condor
#

It’s this board

gusty mirage
#

and gave us nothing in return

balmy condor
#

That’s their dart board

vestal wren
#

alright

#

it took me some effort to find this

#

look wl is not op, if you look at 50%tile it has a spec above it

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

just don't look at any other %tile

gusty mirage
#

those are the 3 warlocks not getting PI

#

unfort

vestal wren
#

like 95%tile

balmy condor
subtle tundra
#

My cock is hard to minmax

balmy condor
#

Very difficult getting pi whenever there’s more than 5 targets and spamming a button

hollow river
#

Lmfao

#

Warlock is easy as fuck

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

i mean, there needs to be a explenation that the most obviouse low hanging fruit apl change that gave them 60% more aoe dps was not done

#

literally need to be a rocket scientist to find that

gusty mirage
#

LOL

#

the one where they just didn't cast their venthyr ability once in aoe?

vestal wren
#

they just didn't spread their dot

balmy condor
#

No the other 60% aoe gain

gusty mirage
#

oh true

balmy condor
#

Where they spent 10 seconds casting incinerate

#

Instead of just rof spamming

gusty mirage
#

lmao

#

WL apl is giga

#

great class

subtle tundra
vestal wren
#

show them the sub apl kekw

#

or mage

#

they going to cry in a corner

balmy condor
#

Spec is legit cooldowns -> 1 button

#

And they still fucked it up

gusty mirage
#

slow it down

#

you lost me between cooldowns and rain of fire

hollow river
#

Loooooool

the aa ring is the only item thats def. strong

#

the rest, depends on your gear

#

golden thanks Fuu

strange python
# vestal wren community perception?

Has to just be favoritism right? No way mage, lock, and Boomie stay this permanently strong, and get immediately buffed when they're weak, while rogue gets left at "meh" the majority of the time unless it's just dev favoritism

timid cloud
#

They just nerfed Survival & Destro.

@gusty mirage any luck on ring?

balmy condor
timid cloud
#

Sorry, brought down a little bit to earth so they won’t be fucking astronomically better.*

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

The lock change would be the equivalent of “shuriken storm no longer generates combo points past 6 targets”

timid cloud
#

LOL

gusty mirage
#

if I can help it I'm not playing sin for the rest of the tier

timid cloud
#

Wait a second…

gusty mirage
#

so its not even worth farming that ring

balmy condor
#

They’re already on the cusp of spamming rain of fire on 8 targets

#

And then it’s reduced after that

#

REDUCED

#

Not the damage

#

The soul shards they’re already swimming in

#

What a dumb fucking nerf

#

Warlocks are the most broken class in the game it’s insanity

#

They always have 1 spec that is a tier above anything else in the game and when they have 2 like rn it’s mayhem

slow marsh
#

and yet they cry about being nerfed more than boomies

marble hemlock
#

our warlock doesnt seem particularly whiny about it

slow marsh
#

i agree it's hardly a nerf. more of a slap on the wrist if at all

#

but locks are locks

balmy condor
#

Our warlocks said it would be something but then gave up arguing pretty quick

#

And went back to their regularly scheduled dick circle jerk of lihuvim

fleet whale
#

i mean it makes sense that locks are strong,
lorewise, they may be the most powerful class in the game!

balmy condor
#

Brooo did you see my rain of fire? Dude that was sick! Did you see my rain of fire! And then like I chaos bolted and did top deeps? Yeah dude that was awesome I’m glad you got 3 pi’s

quaint carbon

#

i forget were locks broken at the end of BFA too?

bleak sky
#

it's the scaling

slow marsh
#

yeah i been dabbling on my ally dk and there's a new lock in my former guild

#

end of xpac scaling for sure that's what's happening

#

I mean

#

The other lock is an officer

#

who just laughs and supports

fleet whale
#

if there is one good thing about this patch, it at least killed the myth of sin "scaling"

slow marsh
#

and rages at anyone who makes fun of him for his bill gates til foil conspiracies

timid cloud
#

OOOOOH THE CURSED WORD

slow marsh
#

like me

#

I mean sin can't scale when the tier is shite

timid cloud
#

It’s been approximately 0 days since we said the word ||Scaling||

slow marsh
#

Sin allegedly scales mega with haste? Ok we'll make your tier devalue haste

#

So now you can be hardstuck 22% and go mastery instead

hollow river
#

Tier is broken

slow marsh
#

get fucked

fleet whale
#

yeah idk who thought the 4 piece was a good tier bonus

timid cloud
#

Wdym Haste Snapshots.

fleet whale
#

or what dev developed it

timid cloud
slow marsh
#

In isolation the tier is "good"

#

in terms of numbers it's obviously good

#

but yeah it plays like shit

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

I mean it’s kinda fun

slow marsh
#

and that's why i'm playing classic more than retail rn

hollow river
#

But it’s weird

fleet whale
#

combining exsang with vendetta would not be on my mind when creating a tier bonus

timid cloud
#

I think this was more of a “Nothing Personal” angle.

it doesn't really resemble nothing personal though

timid cloud

AKA the Nighthold Tier.

fleet whale
#

or the antorus tier

#

i had fun with that one

slow marsh
#

No it was 100% an attempt at 8.3 exsang gameplay

fleet whale
#

but it fails at that

slow marsh
#

"The height of assassination gaming"

fleet whale
#

and blizz doesn't seem to know why exsang was even a thing the first place

#

"cough" corruption "cough"

slow marsh
#

it was the accumulation of 6 different layers of things

misty holly
#

They need to keep duration the same just double speed ticks

slow marsh
#

that made exsang on par

timid cloud
#

If that was the pinnacle, then please keep me in the fucking trenches.

slow marsh
#

with the poison build

misty holly
#

so it effectively doulbes both speed and total damage of bleeds

#

just increasing speed is a pvp gimmick

slow marsh
#

Because it's too strong of a bonus without actually changing gameplay at all

#

They needed to just not go the speed bleed route at all

fleet whale
#

a lot of tier bonuses honestly don't really do that much to change gameplay

slow marsh
#

But doesn't matter now it's long past the time to be able to make changes

#

Can only say i told you so so many times before it gets old

fleet whale
#

I was never a fan of the 4 piece ever since it was first revealed

#

next expansion will be revealed in a few days. Hopefully sin will get some good talent changes

#

but i'm not holding my breath

slow marsh
#

Yeah idk i'm sure they'll just buff lock instead

fleet whale
#

no they'll give warlocks another revamp

#

while we are still stuck with cata era design

#

I want better aoe damage then shiv.

Also combo point gen with fok is wack.

who said 33%

slow marsh
#

it's a sin classic meme

fleet whale
#

how about 34% crit?

slow marsh
#

33% of all stats is when we achieve godhood

ebon notch
#

i believe it

#

33% vers and mastery would be huge

slow marsh
#

i think it's just crit/haste/mast but ye idk i'm not a sin boomer

33 all stats would be very good lol

Unfortunately don't have any vods.

#

My damage was very competitive in comparison to others, I was often the first or second in dps

The damage is very consistent as well and doesn't really have much rng to it, other than the casino specs like Sub and Enha

#

Having just one shadowstep can feel a bit bad for intermissions, but you just need to learn to position very well.

#

Seli has more on-hand experience with the actual fight.

marble hemlock
#

I just step first and third knock, you can opt to cloak 2nd if you want for DPS, or just get knocked down and lose like 1-2 GCDs at most and save cloak for soaking motes.

I think I streamed our kill, lemme find it

solid venture
#

Sin is fine copege

marble hemlock
#

Ignore the fact that I do the wrong opener

#

Not playing bombs btw, so ymmv

sand sigil
#

well basically for wf prog we optimized bomb timings with our partners and there was a very specific cadence to when bombs were swapped, and they were always consistent based on boss timers because the damage was almost identical every pull. and we relied on the double step/vanish strike to have good uptime. but now on farm we change bomb partners all the time so the last two reclears weren't even double rogue, i was with enh sham, and the push timings are always fk'd and we skip the p2 reclaim all the time, and i just did one pull and i had the feeling at the start of the intermission that there was no way i was gonna be able to play for uptime as sin if the bombs are literally yolo'd because of all the different variables. so i ended up just afk'ing the boss and just running the bomb way ahead and standing next to my partner the whole time to make sure we got the bomb to p3. we ended up wiping to something unrelated and i was like my god does this feel like a horrible spec to yolo on so i swapped back to sub

marble hemlock
sand sigil
#

edge lord

marble hemlock
#

Yeah I can definitely see that there might be some issues with bombs

#

But it's not that muich different

#

You'd probably just venthyr ahead before dropping bomb

#

And lose maybe 1-2GCDs as youd be in front of the boss instead of behind it

brazen zodiac
#

am i in the right discord what is this bomb talk

marble hemlock
#

Depending on whether you have a gate up from a WL you might not lose anything at all

formal herald
#

survival hunter chat

marble hemlock
#

Losing some uptime as Assa isnt that big of a deal as long as bleeds dont drop and youre not overcapping energy. Youll most likely get a Flag+Vendt right as 2nd intermission starts, and then another right before the 3rd knock, at least thats how it always lines up for me

ebon notch
#

having to run ahead and afk is the safest way to do it from experience but if you have enough space cause your ranged are behaving you can definitely do shorter stints of running while maintaining some uptime on the boss

#

like seli said you can step first and third knockback for uptime

#

its just a bit messy idk

marble hemlock
#

If I had a bomb, I'd most likely just have whoever starts with bomb in intermission play in front of the boss, the partner plays in the back, and then if you have to take over after, you venthyr ahead to drop bomb, step back, and just get knocked away as you barely lose uptime that way anyway. 1sec of missed autos wont have a big DPS impact.

ebon notch
#

bribe a warrior to take your bomb for you in intermission

#

thats what i did

#

i owe him big time though his boss uptime is demonic

Sub even has triple step via Vanish Shadowstrike in some cases

fleet anchor

You can't be in the hitbox

ebon notch

or else i hit it mid air and just fall off

#

yeah

fleet anchor
#

I'm not sure I'd use it on the knock assuming it'll put me in a good spot (e.g. not use it to avoid getting knocked off the edge) but use it to get back after a clean knock

#

Not totally sure the range is reliable enough to consistently avoid an edge knock on the narrow part

drowsy parcel
#

can do full uptime with step cloak step as assassin too

#

but its kinda grief wasting cloak for nothing its pretty good in p3

ebon notch
#

holding cloak for the entire fight is honestly completely fine

#

cause if you see an orb going into boss through a beam and you save the pull with that cloak

#

literally nobody will mind

#

but if you tell them you didnt have it cause you stopped a knockback

if necrolord you can fleshcraft the knockbacks to immune it

limber lion

It follows the same pandemic logic as other bleeds

#

!pd

prisma monolithBOT
#

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
