deep sleet
#

i feel like 4 targets, sudden fracturs could be pog

stiff fossil
#

lethal poisons will probably still be better

#

because of the 2pc

deep sleet
#

gah dammit tru

#

gotta dust off my gemstone weakaura pepechortle

molten ore
#

????

#

So you can test double legendaries just fine then yes?

pale roost
#

Yes

#

Just use the unity belt instead

molten ore
#

Yeah that’s what I was doing

wraith sphinx
#

thats like

#

almost nothing

stiff fossil
wraith sphinx
#

im not

#

im whispering

#

asmr like

stiff fossil
mint current
#

yea sudden fractures is really fine

wraith sphinx
#

fix suddenfractures bug please thanks

stiff fossil
deep sleet
#

whats the bug?

weary nacelle
#

Not convinced 2pc needed a nerf unless we're gonna see nerfs to demo and fire

wooden wharf
#

that is the thing, you can't rly compare atm hence a lot of those set bonuses are not balanced

#

i just remind you that wl when it was totally busted and #1 or #2 in dps on every fight did say

#

there is a certain amount of fights that we are not #1 on, and hence we are not broken/op

#

i don't think its a healthy approach, but its one that is easy to fall into

dry night
eager sigil
#

did the assa opener change in any way on ptr

pale roost
#

Yes, quite a lot

azure pilot
#

Necro is still dead for assa even with zyldock insignia ,right?

dry night
#

necro will use dusk

#

if it's gonna be good some of us will find out in a bit

molten ore
wooden wharf
#

thats correct too

molten ore
#

But hopefully all will be right with the world before patch prayge

dry night
#

sbs dot kinda nutty so far

wooden wharf
#

double legendary balance can be delayed as it won't be relevant for the early progression

rose grail
wooden wharf
#

necro looks rly good in m+ too

rose grail
#

m+ and some of the cleave fights

#

if anything kyrian on the surface looks to be dead for assa but we shall see.

dry night
#

i'm ngl

#

this fight is nuts

#

my slice is dropping

#

@pale roost are you testing rn ?

pale roost
dry night
#

dang i have no homies to ask or help from

#

I'm topping dam right now as necro but i'm playing it so sloppy it's not even funny

dry night
#

It's too much dude

sterile swift
#

It can do that with a lot of adds and shit

#

I still fuck it up kekl

dry night
#

the 4p makes it impossible to keep dots on stuff and track

#

i swapped back to koryan

wooden wharf
weary nacelle
#

What's the thinking on multidotting during vendetta. Not worth until it falls?

dry night
#

i have solid plater setup (modified cev's) it's just that the 4p makes it quite hard to spread bleeds and maintain dam on the prio target

weary nacelle
#

Yeah I cast envenom 0 times in final phase

#

Too busy rerupturing and crimson

dry night
#

yeah it's crazy

weary nacelle
#

Need to force an env for snd eventually

dry night
#

and we hard energy cap with just 2 targets

#

not even in vend

#

or at least i did full gemming haste

#

oh kekw i know why now nevermind me

weary nacelle
#

Mastery fight tbh

molten ore
#

Also have you been logging your testing logs

dry night
#

12-13k

#

yeah

molten ore
#

Would you mind sharing with the class?

dry night
#

i can after yeah

molten ore
lethal hull
dry night
#

on some pulls yeah

molten ore
#

Yeah I’m seeing a lot of other specs doing 17-20k dps omegalul

#

Maybe not a lot, but some

dry night
#

I mean you can burst that yeah

lethal hull
#

no sustain

#

like DH

dry night
#

i'd like to play with those DH's then

lethal hull
#

Venthyr DH

#

deleted that boss

wooden wharf
#

dh is quite strong atm ^^

dry night
#

i believe it

#

i'm thinking their tier gets nerfed too

wooden wharf
#

tuning is just very hit or miss on ptr testing

#

and it shows, its also the reason devs tell people to not cross compare atm

#

(what people still do)

#

for what its worth, i would advice everyone to stay critical with tuning

#

i just remind everyone that subtlety was assumed one of the best melee dps early in SL due to tuning in beta

#

and only ended up middle of the pack/lower 3rd on release

dry night
#

yeah i agree with that

#

also mechanics

#

and such

#

and people use cheese gear sometimes

molten ore
dry night
#

like my fcm is def over performing because it's scaled to raid gear

molten ore
#

It’s funny how much some are doing

wooden wharf
#

tbh its fun to comment on ptr testing and complain about the current op

molten ore
wooden wharf
#

there is a valid concern that dh will be just a better rogue in 9.2

molten ore
#

Tbh I think there’s valid concern for warlock, mage and feral as well

wooden wharf
#

9.2 has a lot of melees that are good atm

#

ret paladin too

molten ore
#

Yeah

wooden wharf
#

the problem is that there is only a small amount of melee slots

molten ore
#

As long as we’re the best at boss damage, we will continue to fill that role I think

#

Feral just does the same thing with more utility

dry night
#

i guess the dh in my group is just buns cuz on the guardian add fight he's only doing 12.7

#

as nf

#

I'm doing 15k

wooden wharf
#

one thing to consider is that pure damage was less a concern in the last race

#

the current raid had no hard dps checks, what allowed higher dynamic with dps

dry night
#

yeah and rogue's best shot is needing prio damage for checks

wooden wharf
#

subtlety brings funnel

#

assassiantion with the tier set has rly strong low target cleave

#

so there are some niches that rogue can shine

molten ore
#

Yeah I think our sustained cleave is going to be a lot better

dry night
#

idk i'm doing more on this fight consistently than this other sub rogue and he has a dagger

molten ore
#

But is he good at the game tho kekw

#

I haven’t tested sub yet since double legendaries hit the PTR

#

I was doing 11k sustained on dummies as sin with a couple pieces of the 272 pvp gear

dry night
#

yeah he's fine

#

our tier is just better

molten ore
#

Hmm

proper veldt
#

Idk why, double dagger and it’s doing like half as much as on live

molten ore
#

Weird

dry night
#

yeah it's doing less than his phial

molten ore
#

Maybe it was shadow nerfed for 9.2 kekw

proper veldt
#

Entirely possible

dry night
#

i'd believe it

#

otherwise yeah sub would have a mtyhic off hand the whole tier right?

proper veldt
#

Correct

dry night
#

welp my conclusion of the day is that Korayn is probably better than necro for add fights

#

and managing dots in multi cleave is near impossible

#

@molten ore

rocky carbon
#

korayn starege

dry night
#

I mean sbs slaps if you are cracked enough to manage it i think

rose grail
#

i wouldn’t expect to have managing sbs mastered after one test

dry night
#

it's not like it's my first time playing necro

#

if anything i've played more NF during testing than I have in retail and getting better results than expected

pale roost
#

If Deathspike wasn't dog tier, then it would probably be pretty nice

#

Still kinda annoying that you have to go to Oribos to change your covenant

dry night
#

yeah agreed

pale roost
#

I would love to change every fight, but that's not happening with how the system works now

dry night
#

I mean if you have your soulbinds pre-set then you could just hearth and get a lock sum back so it'd take all of 30 seconds to swap

molten ore
#

for prog it might work

#

but farm nah

proper veldt
#

Korayn actually kinda goated on some of these fights

dry night
#

yeah it is

rose grail
#

we’re arms warriors now

molten ore
proper veldt
#

Man fuck night fae

rose grail
#

lol

proper veldt
#

Why’s it gotta be good

rose grail
#

they put on the cat ears

#

does it really matter? or do you just not want to play fae

pale roost
#

He's just a hater

#

Doesn't like Sepsis or TO for whatever reason.

rose grail
#

covenant loyalty was so 9.0-9.1. good news is you have comp stomp in a week or two. lol

proper veldt
#

Venthyr makes more sense

rose grail
#

if you enjoy getting whipped by Daddy D sure

weary nacelle
#

Do we not have a last two bosses wep this tier?

#

That's kinda pog

weary nacelle
lean glen
#

nf masterrace

rocky carbon
#

nochill cant be right

#

he cant

proper veldt
#

tier set can revive dead covenants

#

I wonder if it can bring my step dad back

stiff fossil
proper veldt
#

I've been hurt before

stiff fossil
wraith sphinx
#

i wonder if it cna bring back whispyr to assa

rose grail
#

degen sub spec. can play it again when legion classic come out.

proper veldt
wraith sphinx
#

[TBD]

rose grail
#

tier 3 sub to be welcomed back.

scenic saddle
#

so whispyr is sipping the NF juice?

dry night
#

He's coming around

#

Because NF means no mfd

stiff fossil
#

ye sign me up

#

for some ep/ds

#

if I have to sepsis I will

dry night
#

It's not as terrible as it seems. You just press it and shiv your sorrows away

tepid sky
#

Time to level up night fae

deep sleet
#

were there new sims?

proper veldt
#

no because obedience is still cucked

#

@pale roost found another what, 120 dps? for fae

#

by changing talents

#

and the subterfuge optimization that was talked about a while ago

#

ambush back on the table type beat

deep sleet
#

....blindside?

proper veldt
#

no

#

just ambush

#

ep/subt/deeper on fae

#

looks spicy

deep sleet
#

interesting

proper veldt
#

ambush from subt I should say

#

just gear things making it usable

#

as well as subterfuge making ambush making closer to mut

#

but yeh

#

reposting this here for the vibe

proper veldt
#

better find an ambush bind

deep sleet
#

idk why but ive always kept it on 4

#

even though i only use it on one boss the entire tier tinfoil_pepe

deep sleet
#

wait this ability doesnt even do damage with the fucking conduit

#

why are we entertaining NF this is illegal

proper veldt
#

now you see my pain

deep sleet
#

how can the ability be worse, and the soulbinds are worse

#

something foul is afoot

proper veldt
#

the ability does big damies

#

it's like 8.5% dps or something

#

insano levels of deeps

#

shiv + 2 piece is a double buff for sepsis

#

first the nature buff

#

then the poison buff

deep sleet
#

i think im only going to be able to spin this if i can actually get vendetta to a cleanly 45 second cooldown so its just one on/one off

dry night
#

You have a better chance of KA with NF too i think

deep sleet
#

is there a reason the current sim uses sepsis before shiv/vendetta? wouldnt that lose some of the benefit from 2pc/4pc/vendetta/shiv/conduit damage all together

#

obviously itd only really be one to two globals worth

dry night
#

you lose 1 global of sepsis and gain shiv on the sepsis explode

deep sleet
#

but like that dot needs to be juiced the whole way through id think?

#

oh the sepsis explodes

#

oh so thats how that ability works okay

proper veldt
#

The final tick is a big hit

deep sleet
#

didnt know it exploded LMFAO

dry night
#

Yeah I'm not 100% sure if it's better still after the conduit change but

proper veldt
#

It is

dry night
#

figures

proper veldt
#

The bonk at the end got some heft to it

#

We save vanish for it when running ma as well

deep sleet
#

very interested to see the results of these sims next week

#

especially with sub potentially getting nerfed next week

dry night
#

The thing is

#

I'm sure that venth is still better slightly on paper

#

But the fights suit Korayn so well

#

and NF is so much easier because of timing stuff

proper veldt
proper veldt
#

You just don’t know if it crits

#

Until 10 seconds later

#

When you randomly get a cp

#

Like a shadow tech proc

dry night
#

I mean at that point you'll have shadowblades too so would it proc an extra extra cp?

deep sleet
#

also just interested to seeing the opener rotation

#

this feels very unique

#

even feels different than nyalotha and its using the same focuses of damage

proper veldt
#

And you wouldn’t get it at the start for the application cp

dry night
#

ah

#

well it does feel nice AF to vanish subt garrote during shadowblades for 2cp each

proper veldt
#

That’s why shadowblades mutilate only gives 3cp as well

#

Cause it’s “on cast”

#

And the cast is mutilate

#

Even though mutilate is 2 hits of 1 cp each

dry night
#

yessir

proper veldt
#

Crazy

#

That used to not be a thing

#

Because garrote doesn’t have an instant hit

#

But maybe that snuck in with the sepsis changes that sub got with blades in 9.0.5 or whatever

dry night
#

yeah must've

proper veldt
#

Cross spec abilities

dry night
#

and obviously nobody noticed since nobody played it xD

proper veldt
deep sleet
#

hey wait a second

#

you still dont need to do that

#

because sepsis would get dropped to a 5 second duration bleed

#

so all of it stays inside vendetta/shiv either way

#

🤔

proper veldt
#

Sepsis doesn’t work with 4 piece

#

Just 2 piece

#

From my knowledge

dry night
#

It's supposed to work with 4p

proper veldt
#

Yeah

dry night
#

I think they've marked it as a bug

proper veldt
#

Well “supposed”

dry night
#

alongside with sbs and doomblade

proper veldt
#

Who knows at this point tbh

deep sleet
#

would be pretty nifty

proper veldt
#

But I wrote about it in my tier set revisit post

deep sleet
#

would probably give us like.... 0.04% increase!

proper veldt
#

Which is long

#

Very long

dry night
#

soon ™️

#

my favorite

dry night
#

but i get what you mean =]

#

Right now if you're shivving on cd you generally get half a shiv for the start of vend and half of it on the back end / snapshotted bleeds. So having sepsis sped up could make timing better

deep sleet
#

dumb question thats hard to ask, would we rather let a subterfuge garrote inside vendetta run out at the end of vendetta, or would we rather throw a normal garrote ontop of the subterfuged garrote to reapply a full pandemic (normal) garrote right before vendetta drops

#

not sure i asked that in a coherent manner but gl

dry night
#

yeah it's pretty normal question imo

#

I'm not sure about sim but i'd think that it's better to let empowered gar expire then reapply as close to instantly rather than reapply before

#

cuz you're overwriting 4 ticks at 2 seconds for example

deep sleet
#

not sure how powerful a 3-4 second subterfuged garrote is compared to a 8-9 second normal garrote

#

yeah

dry night
#

I think optimally you would want to let it expire

#

but it's worse to let it drop and then not instantly reapply than to overwrite

#

if that makes sense

proper veldt
#

Why is this a situation

dry night
#

vendetta subt garrote

proper veldt
#

The vanish garrote runs out well before vendetta finishes

dry night
#

let it drop and reapply or overwrite

proper veldt
#

You can pandemic stealth garrote with vanish garrote

dry night
#

yeah then after that one

proper veldt
#

Well it’s empowered so you let it expire

dry night
#

exactly

deep sleet
#

you could get an 11 second extended garrote for the overhang vendetta if you reapply a garrote at 6-7 seocnds of vendetta left

#

which would eat into the subt garrote

dry night
#

just let the empowered gar expire and reapply at 2s before vendetta ends or whatever it is

proper veldt
#

Garrote is 18 seconds, you gar snd ambush mut flag rup+vend, Thats 5 gcd’s before vendetta, 13 seconds left on Subt gar, turns into 6.5, you pandemic that with a vanish garrote which is 18/2 is 9 seconds, 9 and 6.5 is 15.5 seconds

#

You then gar that

#

And get 4.5 seconds overhang because the new gar is 18/2 again is 9, 4.5 seconds until vend falls off

deep sleet
#

FLAG?

proper veldt
#

Can do the same math with sepsis and it would only gain you half a second

#

The alternative would be to double gar from stealth and vanish, which would add a pandemics worth (or half a pandemics worth) of time onto them, which would be 2.7 seconds each, totaling back to 5.4, which would leave 0.9 seconds of overhang if you don’t refresh it

#

That’s one way to guarantee subt garrote through the whole thing

#

But double gar from subt is still really bad last I checked

dry night
#

what if you open with double gar + vend

#

i was thinking about that

proper veldt
#

Wdym

dry night
#

cringe

proper veldt
#

Like gar snd gar vend?

dry night
#

like literally rip vend on pull

#

gar vend

proper veldt
#

Oh god no

#

Putting vendetta up before rupture is a huge no no

dry night
#

well yes normally

#

but like 5 seconds of empowered gar

proper veldt
#

Yes normally but you think if we make vendetta stronger then that changes to mean we should prep for the vendetta less?

dry night
#

i know it's cringe but something that genuinely crossed my mind

proper veldt
#

You’re losing even more than normal by ripping it before rupture

#

I can’t see how that would viable

#

Like you’d need to gain something that overcomes an already insane loss

#

(Think it’s like 0.8%, it’s one of the bigger opener optimizations)

dry night
#

So gar snd ambush rupture vend?

proper veldt
#

And you’re hoping to achieve that by getting an extra maybe 3 seconds of a subt gar, while giving up the same 3 seconds of rupture

#

Seems not great

proper veldt
dry night
#

yeah i get it like i said i knew it was cringe but my mind works like that you know

deep sleet
#

wait only ambush

#

or ambush mut

proper veldt
#

Ambush mut

dry night
#

so given -> gar snd ambush mut rup vend sepsis shiv, is the ambush much bigger than adding another gar ?

proper veldt
#

Yes

dry night
#

probably because of cp + instant dam right

proper veldt
#

Yeh

#

Getting 5 seconds of garrote just isnt worth without some giga buff

#

Shrouded made it worth cause it was like subterfuge on crack and gave a ton of cp

dry night
#

Ye the shrouded

proper veldt
#

But it’s never been worth ever outside of that

dry night
#

So my next question

#

after sepsis pops

#

and shadowblades

#

would it be worth to gar gar or still just gar ambush

#

during that vanish

proper veldt
#

Vanish after sepsis pops?

#

Why we vanishing after sepsis pops

dry night
#

Ye I was holding vanish for after sepsis for multi target on opener

#

Just trying different things ya know

proper veldt
#

I mean if you’re holding for multi target then you would gar every target once

#

I don’t see the point

dry night
#

Sooo uhhh yeah niya's poison is trash we all agree right

deep sleet
#

i really like the haste from dreamweaver

#

feels like it would lend itself further into the sepsis damage

proper veldt
#

But do you like podchamp

deep sleet
#

thats true pod might be annoying or a blessing

#

and idk how korayn really sounds to me

#

it never appealed to me in a raid scenario but i know it IS good

scenic saddle
#

first strike refreshing all the time is nice

dry night
#

try standing in flowers for any of these fights tho

rocky carbon
#

i always thought the soulbinds are just a math problem

scenic saddle
#

idk how the fights are gonna be, or how it plays onn rogue but

#

on other classes that can play korayn it just feels SO good

rocky carbon
#

except pod starege

scenic saddle
#

pod cringe

dry night
#

Korayn is poggie

rocky carbon
#

fuck dreamweaver

deep sleet
#

you only really need the flowers for a short duration tbh

rocky carbon
#

all my homies hate dreamweaver

scenic saddle
#

standing on flowers is poggers

#

not standing on flowers is cringechamp

dry night
#

But you dont need flowers in the opener is the thing

#

you'd ideally need it after vend

rocky carbon
#

its never bad to stand in flowers exsangery

deep sleet
#

it still provides aton of haste to all of our dots in that time though

dry night
#

Yeah true

rocky carbon
#

pretty sure you would ideally want the flowers to come up right before you apply your last dots in vendetta

#

but doesnt really matter

deep sleet
#

well it will last for that time

#

last 18 seconds and vendetta is pretty close to that

dry night
#

No shot you get to stand in flowers for that time though on any of these bosses

deep sleet
#

close enough to snapshot the garrote and rupture before exiting vendetta

#

ehh idk

#

the bosses have pretty decent windows of damage

dry night
#

They do but why would you hold your sepsis until after they're in position or whatever

#

I mean dreamweaver still gets the 3% dam buff so it's fine even if you dont get high flower uptime i'm sure

deep sleet
#

for sure

#

but i think youre already holding sepsis a little bit to line it up with every other vendetta, yeah?

#

or do we full send like venthyr and cry about being outlaw rogues still

dry night
#

na you hold it for next shiv i think

#

and vend

deep sleet
#

wait how is this sim getting a 1:30ish vendetta

#

ah might be lust

#

im not getting anywhere near 1:30 even with haste/crit geared and vigor, with no lust

#

wait the sim holds vendetta all the way to 1:30, how is dusk even worth

dry night
#

i think that's wrong

#

is the 4p tier in there?

mint current
#

vendetta should be around 1 min with dusk what do you mean

dry night
#

he means that sim is holding it for next sepsis

mint current
#

hmm interesting

dry night
#

instead of sending it and holding sepsis for next vend

deep sleet
#

you can get vendetta lower than a minute by quite a lot

mint current
#

maybe has to do with kill time

#

always check those

deep sleet
#

45 second vendetta isnt unreasonable

#

yeah maybe right kill time

mint current
#

if boss died at 4:30 or lower meybe sync is better

#

but no idea

dry night
#

45s vend is very reasonable as NF

mint current
#

might wanna put the sync threshold diff who knows

deep sleet
#

yeah im getting a 45 seconed vendetta, and then my third one which would be paired with next sepsis is almost 2 minutes....

dry night
#

like it's holding for that long?

deep sleet
#

i have to hold second sepsis until 2 minutes basically

#

instead of at 1:30

#

not sure im making any massive energy mistakes resulting in that much of a decline in CDR, but sheesh

dry night
#

I would think it's fine to hold sepsis 30s

#

if you dont miss a caset

#

cast

slender basin
#

with the 4p, will we have to refresh garotte and rupture before or after the vendetta ? tried it a bit and feels like all i do is refresh bleed (with dusk leggo)

#

nvm scrolled up and found

vast cairn
#

how do we acquire legos next patch? cinder + ash or something else?

stiff fossil
deep sleet
#

dont have any idea the current losses of overwriting a dot outside of pandemic, but could we maybe see overwriting a rupture before vendetta runs out to get a maxed pandemic rupture right before vendetta drops

#

im focusing on this vendetta thing too much over the last few days

#

its probably barely even worth minmaxing

proper veldt
#

that's something we do, yes

#

koji put in apl for that when he implemented the tier set

deep sleet
#

im starting to lock in the opener, feels much more strict than current

#

maybe i naturally know every global to use on live and dont even think about it, but this nf subt tech makes feels like its like a 15 second rotation i gotta checklist through

dry night
#

it'll feel more natural once it sets in more

deep sleet
#

yeah im ironing out the 10-20 second mark in the opener

#

sometimes i get a rotation that feels real good, trying to see what causes it lol

dry night
#

SB proc?

#

sounds like shadowblades diff to me

deep sleet
#

i think its a difference of when im using the sepsis ambush

#

and whether im choosing to use an envenom or reapply a reupture the first time it goesd pandemic

#

yeah thats it, not sure if thats better or not. feels doable

pearl maple
#

i've tested nf + dusk + nf priest. looks pretty op

dry night
#

I haven't gotten faeries yet but kindred is nuts

#

sit at around 57% haste with alac stacked with current gear

weary nacelle
#

Parsing next tier on farm...already dreading it

dry night
#

wont be as bad as this tier i'm sure

weary nacelle
#

Faeries for perma vend

#

And ka staying big. Maybe pi loses some value

dry night
#

KA stays big but it's surely not 1.3k cuz no frost set

proper veldt
#

KA is looking not great btw

#

it's like half as much as fire mages

dry night
#

ye figures

proper veldt
#

like a world where you KA a sin rogue over enhance, demo, shadow, fire, survival

#

kinda fucked

#

we're like a solid middle of the pack spec for KA

pale roost
proper veldt
#

night fae

#

didn't think about it

pale roost
#

must have been dogshit for venthyr

proper veldt
#

yeah

#

it's not good for venth

pale roost
#

but the haste-gang

#

rising

proper veldt
#

it's like 850 for venth

pale roost
#

yeh

proper veldt
#

but like

pale roost
#

nf is haste right?

#

I think

proper veldt
#

yeah

what’s the gain from glory when we “accidentally” step to the warrior?

deep sleet
#

i've gotta say when we first got this tier set it seemed like it was going to be a mess, but its actually so specific on where you need to put your bleeds up on opener and during vendetta

#

your garrotes always just perfectly lines up

dry night
#

well's certainly still a mess on pantheon but that fight just seems messy in general

deep sleet
#

oh yeah sin in aoe is not a simple rotation

#

3-4 targets gets hectic lol

#

Just saw the 1.3k NF Sims hahah

#

More reason for NF - enhance and KA begging

#

Tbh I'm curious how big the gap would have to be to make venth -> enhance

pale roost
dry night
#

Something that enhance does encourages cov stacking i guess?

weary nacelle
#

Couple levels of assumptions here, but if elegy winds up even remotely as strong as it looks

#

Our enh will be demanding the 4 melees in their group be NF

dry night
#

oh teh trinket yeah

#

the super ocular gland cov stack trink

weary nacelle
#

Since we run 6 melee, they'll put in the ones that are NF

#

Ye

dry night
#

that i think drops off of last 3 so it wont really matter too much 😛

pale roost
dry night
#

The real strength of KA on NF would be if it would reduce vend timing at all

#

more than 2 seconds

weary nacelle
#

Wait so is KA on NF the biggest? Last I saw enhance was top at 1430

#

Cause our boomies will be kyrian...

pale roost
#

No, Enha still holds the spot for the best KA

weary nacelle
#

Shit

#

Rip me

pale roost
#

That's a good thing

#

Fuck KA.

weary nacelle
#

If it's even remotely close then the entirety of farm logs will be filled with it

dry night
#

KA also doesn't feel quite as strong as it does currently on venth with frost shards

weary nacelle
#

Prog is fun n all, but the majority of the tier will be spent on farm. Parsing keeps it interesting

dry night
#

I got it a few times in PTR

weary nacelle
#

Do you just slam sepsis on CD?

pale roost
#

Yeh, externals ruin farms

weary nacelle
#

Or hold for shiv/vend/both

pale roost
#

Kinda

dry night
#

^

#

Long story short it dpeends on fight timing

weary nacelle
pale roost
#

You want to sync whenever possible without losing casts

dry night
#

So it's pretty much same logic as flag except you have to factor shiv in too

pale roost
#

Pretty much the same story as always, but a bit more aggressive this time around

weary nacelle
#

Vend should line up with it decently assuming you're allowed to tunnel

dry night
#

Vend is 1min on NF so yeah everything flows smoothish

rocky carbon
#

Cant wait for externals to not matter in 10.0 copium

proper veldt
#

I will say, I did like

#

2 sims

#

With KA and PI

#

And we kind of are really good targets for them

#

Not the best

#

But like with tuning and nerfs to crazy shit like enhance (they’re actually like close to 16k I think)

#

We might be very very appealing

#

For externals

pale roost
#

I was hoping KA would be dead next tier

rocky carbon
#

Maybe they can buff everything else instead of nerfing enh

pale roost
#

But hhere we are.

rocky carbon
proper veldt
#

If we’re 1350 at 12.2 and they’re 1450 at 16

@proper veldt do you think the "better sepsis" opener is pretty spot on at this point?

#

im aware the better sepsis sim wasnt specifically a change in the opener, just wondering if the opener is fleshed out already

proper veldt
#

I’m trying to think of what could be optimized or what’s sketch about it

#

Without actually seeing it since I’m still in bed

#

But I think it’s fine

rose grail
#

ima gonna need some updated race sims

deep sleet
#

i honestly dont know if theres anything sketch about it, been trying a few different things but dont want to "learn" a bad habit

dry night
#

I think the only weird part is the rupture sepsis shiv part

#

or rather i can possibly be weird

rocky carbon
#

sounds logical

#

full bleeds up before pressing bleed amp

dry night
#

ye but you also want to have a full rupture up not just a 3p right so depending on if ambush after slice crits / mut etc

#

but that's not too different than current, rotation /prio still wouldn't change so doesn't matter i guess

#

gar slice ambush mut rupture sepsis vendetta shiv?

#

yeah guess it doesn't matter about crits anyways cuz deeper

deep sleet
#

yeah if neither mutilate crits when youre trying to get rupture up on pull, it feels super akward

rose grail

#

@pale roost nf mfd ns when?

pale roost
rocky carbon
#

unlucky

pale roost
#

Found a gain for Nightstalker, wasn't enough to beat out Sub

mint current
#

can you still clip sepsis explosion with nightstalker like in pvp ?

proper veldt
#

With the subterfuge mutilate change @pale roost talked about bringing ambush back into light, as well as a 0.7% gain for duskwalkers being added into the sim default, I thought I should share the tentative shiv sync logic for fae that I’ve wrapped up on. Fae Sepsis Shiv Sync Logic

#

Here is the sim with the consolidated shiv changes compared to the new default with both the duskwalkers 0.7%, as well as the 0.3% from the ambush changes from Cev

#

Some of you saw the madness on stream already, but as a tldr on the change: shiv on cooldown for fae is no more. I want to stress this is FAE and sepsis related, and there may be different logic for other covenants going forward.

Shiv logic for fae is now as follows:
Hold roughly 12 seconds for vendetta
Always hold for sepsis
Cast sepsis->shiv whenever sepsis is cast
Use on cooldown as long as rupture and garrote are currently ticking

#

The most common use of this is with duskwalkers, as that seems to be the legendary of choice in 9.2

#

With duskwalkers, the cooldown of vendetta is roughly a minute

#

This creates the cycle of:
Vend+sepsis+shiv (opener)
Shiv (around 0:30)
Vend+shiv (1:00)
Sepsis+shiv (1:30)
Vend+shiv (2:00)
Shiv (2:30)
Vend+sepsis+shiv (3:00, repeating the cycle)

You still want to follow the sync logic of “if you won’t lose a cast”, which may result in some simulations holding either sepsis or vendetta. This 30 second shiv cycle is still consistent with that, for example:

Vend+sepsis+shiv (opener)
Shiv (0:30)
Vend + shiv (1:00)
Shiv (1:30, holding sepsis 30 seconds for vend)
Vend+sepsis+shiv (2:00, using the sepsis here)
Shiv (2:30)
Vend+shiv (3:00)
Shiv (3:30, again holding sepsis)
Vend+sepsis+shiv (4:00, with the fight ending before 4:30)

The second example requires a fight of between 4 and 4:30, but the logic can be extended to sync the final sepsis with the final vendetta of the fight in general. Keep this in mind depending on your kill times next patch

#

It is 2:30 in the morning here, and kojiyama is looking over the changes in the next couple of days, so the line itself might change, but the logic is the important part here

#

If you have any questions please let me know :)

Great news @proper veldt. Does that mean you'll look into LBE/shiv 2pc implementation next now that you're done with fae?

pale roost
rose grail
#

dishonest sims if he doesn’t.

#

pushing anti mfd agenda

obtuse rain
#

In relation to the above - just making sure I am reading this right. If we're NF, we Sepsis THEN Shiv and we hold Sepsis for Vendetta?

wraith sphinx
#

Yes, if you shiv>sepsis, the bonk of the sepsis wont be within shiv anymore. That's why you Sepsis>Shiv. No holding Sepsis for Vendetta unless its the last one of the fight

#

Every second Sepsis naturally lines up with Vendetta (due to dusk cdr), meaning delaying one sepsis for Vendetta just desyncs the next one, gaining you nothing.

obtuse rain
#

Ohh, okay. Glad I asked then. One day I'll get as good as you guys, I promise.

wraith sphinx
#

There's always theoretical DPS gains if fights are within a certain duration, where holding CDs would allow you to line up CDs slightly better. These typically aren't cases to concern yourself with during progression, though.

steep rampart
#

NF has been the exception to the “use on CD” for a long time it’s just most people haven’t played NF so don’t know about it

#

Sepsis actually had quite a lot of special timing cases already in the APL for both Shiv and Vanish.

pod is nuts

pod sometimes overlaps with cheat apparently

not gonna be fun

i hate pod anyway

elfin vale

weird

because pod is death

cheat is low % of your hp

rocky carbon
#

its some kind of bug

elfin vale

also waking dreams looks nice too

#

1 min cd on a 12 sec shield that is worth 20% of your max hp

when you fall below 80%

rocky carbon
#

yeah that one is ok

#

not sure if its better than nadjia healthpot shield or theotar token though

elfin vale
#

token is pretty good

#

esp if you run with the snd heal conduit

#

since it can proc off that

#

nadija health pot is a consumable tho

#

procing from consumable

#

this doesnt require it

#

consumable + HS

Idk if it’s 2x max hp like cheat

Spreadsheet is updated with some first take APL changes (including the shiv change above): https://bit.ly/3yX1GQc

More APL changes to come most likely. I will be simming early mythic week profiles, please read the disclaimers and info on the sheet for more on that.

The heavy hitting findings:

  • Dusk is literally inescapable everywhere, we're playing dusk with 4 piece, end of story.
  • Fae, as expected, is about 200 ahead in single target due to the shiv lines.
  • Necro and Kyrian suck but at least necro can do mad m+ damage I guess
  • Shadowdust in m+ seems pretty... aight. You'd be weird to play it, but I guess you could.

Planning to use a generator during Subterfuge? Use Ambush instead of Mutilate.

#

Sepsis procs? Use Ambush.

weary nacelle
#

I mean, how. I'm guessing the opener is still garrote>and>garrote

It has never been garrote - garrote

weary nacelle

pale roost
#

Use Sepsis on cooldown, use Vend on cooldown, hold Shiv for every Vendetta

#

Making sure to sync Sepsis/Vend and Sepsis/Vend/Shiv whenever possible

azure pilot
#

Will i need to go necro for keys in 9.2 as per the sims or fae will be enough?aMonkaHmm

pale roost
#

Probably doesn't matter too much either way

#

Just use whatever your group needs more

azure pilot
weary nacelle
pale roost
#

Sepsis is a 1.5min cd, Dusk makes Vend a 1 min cooldown

#

You hold Sepsis for Vendetta, not the other way around - unless you won't miss a cast.

weary nacelle
#

Right. But that's assuming you can slam energy for dusk. There's downtime on fights that could impact that, no?

pale roost
#

Sure, but you can spend energy during downtime as well

#

You might generate less, but it shouldn't be too too bad.

weary nacelle
#

I guess that's true. Sit in a corner spamming fok

pale roost
#

Yep

#

But yeah, Sepsis on cooldown. Hold it for the third Vendetta if Vend doesn't line up al naturel

azure pilot
#

@pale roost did you do any keys in PTR with 4-piece?

weary nacelle
#

Worth it to snipe sepsis on adds or better to let it full tick

pale roost
#

What benefit do you get from that?

#

There is no reset-mechanic on Sepsis

azure pilot
weary nacelle
#

The 30 second CD?

pale roost
#

Ah right

#

It's probably worth especially since we're playing TO everywhere in 9.2 whenever we get double legos

#

Completely forgot about that mechanic LUL

weary nacelle
#

Lol

#

Right, should give ar/sb, right? That was my thinking at least

pale roost
#

But yeh, I'd still look for 50% value at least

#

I wouldn't probs snipe a 1hp target with it

pale roost
#

They're not really too too giga though

azure pilot
#

Assuming we don't have a big pull or boss in next 50 seconds

pale roost
#

Rupture sniping is used for completely different purposes

#

It's used for instant energy gain and more often than not is not even a gain

weary nacelle
#

Septic shock or maim?

pale roost
#

You definitely do not want to snipe asap with Sepsis

azure pilot
pale roost
weary nacelle
pale roost
#

Rupture doesn't have any conditionals like that

pale roost
#

You just slam it if you need the energy - and more often than not you probably don't.

weary nacelle
#

So idk if I'm doing something wrong but there's definitely ~15 seconds where third vend is off CD before sepsis comes up

mystic lake
#

I'm starting to farm NF renown tonight boys.

deep sleet
#

your next vend/seps will always be at like 2 minutes

#

instead of 1:30

#

if youre on a patchwerk fight or a target dummy you might be able to get it down to like...1:50 at best

weary nacelle
deep sleet
#

dont think ive seen that

pale roost
#

This creates the cycle of:
Vend+sepsis+shiv (opener)
Shiv (around 0:30)
Vend+shiv (1:00)
Sepsis+shiv (1:30)
Vend+shiv (2:00)
Shiv (2:30)
Vend+sepsis+shiv (3:00, repeating the cycle)

#

This is the rotation

deep sleet
#

arent there 2 rotations

#

one syncing and one not

#

depending on kill times

proper veldt
#

it's less of "2 rotations"

#

and more of the concept

#

like if you take sylv for example which is like a 14 minute fight right

#

you would cast on cooldown

#

to avoid missing hella casts

#

so you get something like this

#

right

#

lets say it's 14:20

#

you would hold that last sepsis for the 14:00 vend

dry night
#

Do we have a minute mark / cast mark yet or is it still just theoretical

proper veldt
#

the logic is just more jarring on shorter kill times because you end up having less casts

weary nacelle
weary nacelle
#

Kk

#

Feels weird

proper veldt
#

vend cdr from dusk isn't exactly 1 minute

#

sometimes it's like 1:02, or 1:05 reduction

#

and then you end up with a couple seconds of delay

dry night
#

Like how many extra shiv casts makes it worth to hit shiv on cd vs holding for stuff

#

Or does that point never happen

proper veldt
#

never happens

deep sleet

with how powerful 2pc is, i imagine just 1 or 2 shiv losses is big

proper veldt
