yeah, if you want more help than that, need logs

atomic scarab
#

I'll try to get some

tight charm
#

what is your artifact level?

#

that makes a big difference

atomic scarab
#

mine is level...

#

41

rich temple
#

@atomic scarab got an armory page or logs? i'm about the same ilvl as you and can pull significantly more

#

mind you draught is a big contributor, with mantle it's disgusting for sin

sour sorrel
#

is it normal for simcraft to scale haste as best second stat as sub

heady elm
#

are you using frond?

sour sorrel
#

no

maiden cargo
#

Can I tell simc to import an inactive spec?

mortal stream
#

I just managed to pick up a DoS but im unsure how to sim the active ability. Any help with what line to put where to allow the sim to use the active?

maiden cargo
#

@mortal stream actions+=/use_item,name=<name here>,if=<something>

#

< and > shouldn't be included.

mental dagger
#

so just for fun i wanted to check out the sub APL

#

and i'm kind of a noobster when it comes to this

#

but i was checking out this part in particular

#

on line E

#

it says to finish at >=5 cp

#

but that's pretty bad if the user is taking anticipation

#

maybe that should be taken into consideration?

#

because you can potentially be doing 10% more eviscerate damage overall (an extra 20% on every other evis)

maiden cargo
#

@mental dagger Unless I'm mistaken, the DPS should be the same over the course of the fight. You can double eviscerate to do more burst damage though.

#

So in other words, it doesn't matter.

#

It's undoubtedly easier to simulate with >= 5 cp.

mental dagger
#

the thing is

#

eviscerate has a bug

#

finality:eviscerate applies bvasded on the current cp you have rather than the cp you spent on the move

#

so normally you eviscerated with 5 or 6 with deeper strategem and it gave you 20 or 24% bonus damage respectively on your next evis

#

but now you can do it with 10 combo points

#

and it gives you 40% bonus damage on your next eviscerate

#

so you could potentially have your rotation always try to eviscerate at higher cp (i usually do it around 8 depending on where i am in my rotation)

#

and it'll result in a noticeable dps increase

#

instead of doing eviscerates at 100 -> 120 ->100 -> 120 damage

#

you could be doing it at 100 -> 140 -> 100 ->140

#

for up to 10% damage increase overall on your eviscerates

#

It definitely makes a difference, I can consistently beat my sim dps by a significant margin, even on similarly timed fights

split sorrel
#

unless you loose cp

#

which is something that happen quite frequently if you aim for 10cp

mental dagger
#

yeah

#

i don't aim for 10

split sorrel
#

so 40% f:evi isn't viable.

mental dagger
#

but for example i'll shadow dance at 4cp

#

SS SS evis SS SS

#

i'll probably be eviscerating somewhere around 8 or 10 cp depending on weaponmaster/shadow technique procs

#

and then i ss back up to like 8 or 9 again

#

yes the potential to lose a cp or 2 is there but getting ~8-10% bonus damage from your main finisher over the course of the fight seems to warrant the potential loss of a combo point

#

I wouldn't say it's an issue with the sim if i weren't able to consistently beat out my sim dps by like 30k

#

especially since i almost never play sober

#

it's an especially prevalent bug if you're using the bracers, since you're generating so much cp, you can just keep yourself between 5-10 for most of the time while you're throwing out your eviscerates

maiden cargo
#

Didn't know about that bug

mental dagger
#

yeah, it only affects eviscerate and not nightblade, but it's still really significant if you're taking anticipation

maiden cargo
#

Does simc take the bug into consideration?

split sorrel
#

of course

#

it does

#

since 01/12

mental dagger
#

aethys, is it possible to choose when to finisher at different times based on whether or not the person is taking anticipation

#

i don't really know much about sims

split sorrel
#

of course

#

talent.anticipation.enabled

mental dagger
#

i think a simple solution would be to adjust this

#

on the y line

#

it just says to finish if cp >= 5

#

but i think it should be changed to say only finish at >=5 if the player already has the finality buff (so current cp doesn't matter for this evis as long as it's enough to do a full evis)

#

but it should throw an exception for if the thing needs to refresh nightblade probably

plush shard
#

does draught of souls sims right ? I changed 875 urn with 880 draught and lost about 16k sim dps

mental dagger
#

i use nightblade refreshing to restore energy when i need it, as well as a way to offset when i'm sending my next eviscerate so i can choose when i evis at high or low cp

#

but i feel like that's really hard to put in the sim

mortal stream
#

@plush shard I just did the same thing and gained 8k, did you put the code for simcraft to use the active ability?

plush shard
#

puh no^^

sour sorrel
#

i simed my sub rogue for stat weighs and got as highest second stat haste in stjerns guide its the worst stat at all

mental dagger
#

markz

plush shard
#

in my opinion is draught stronger then the urn

mental dagger
#

what's your haste at, do you have the boots, or do you have the arcway necklace

plush shard
#

just wanted to know how high iam simming now

mental dagger
#

because you need at least one of those items

#

otherwise you aren't getting enough energy in your shadow dance to do 4 shadow strikes

#

you need roughly ~10% haste depending on your internet connection

#

but you don't need any depending on whether you have the +5 energy neck or the boots

sour sorrel
#

i dont have the boots or necklace and one moment about the haste

mental dagger
#

well, unless you have an absurdly strong necklace or a legendary or something, i'd highly recommend you go do mythic arcway a million times until you get a decent necklace

#

the +5 energy is seriously so strong on sub

sour sorrel
#

k i only got 5% haste

mental dagger
#

yeah that's a problem, are you usually able to get all 4 shadow strikes out in a sdance, even without energetic stabbing procs?

sour sorrel
#

no

#

thx for the help here

mental dagger
#

np

plush shard
#

Hi, when is it the best time to use draught of souls as a sin rogue ?

mental dagger
#

simulation channel :^)

wet glade
#

@mental dagger the apl doesn't finish at >=5cp as a highest priority. The line before that (for shadow strike) will SS at upto 8cp depending on talents and shadow blades

mental dagger
#

oh shit i didn't notice that

valid scroll
#

Hey, anyone know if Nightblooming frond still sims too high?

sly yoke
#

that should be the description of this channel

round canyon
#

@valid scroll it sims perfectly fine

#

Sprint + DoS

#

Sprint properly implemented

#

Now I have to add the extended stealth thingy and we'll be able to see the things like in game 😃 😃

#

I bet Blizzard will fix this bug Monday as always to troll me, but I publied infos about it weeks ago so I assume it'll live until 7.2 at least.

pseudo herald
boreal patrol
#

140818 as in the link

vapid ridge
#

@split sorrel is sprint only for sub? not sure why sprint is in APL unless i'm missing something huge

heavy moon
#

@vapid ridge Probably Flickering Shadows

split sorrel
#

"master_of_subtlety"

#

I don't think it's Assassination 😉

#

I implemented Sprint + DoS trick properly

vapid ridge
#

oic it is not for sin, just checked on talents, how does sprint effect it though

split sorrel
#

Flickering Shadows

maiden cargo
#

sprint activates flick shadow - gives vanish if u dont attackl or get hit in 3 sec

split sorrel
#

yes

#

When you Sprint, it triggers a buff "Faster than Light Trigger" that has a 3s duration

vapid ridge
#

gotcha, in case you couldn't tell i haven't touched sub 😛

split sorrel
#

if you attack or get attacked, it cancels this buff

#

if this buff ends, you get a free vanish

#

the buff is hidden, you can't see it ingame, but that's the mechanic behind

vapid ridge
#

i'm guessing Faster than light in an artifact trait?

#

oh it's hidden? like not normal ability or artifact trait or anything like that?

split sorrel
#

it's the spell that sprint activates when you cast sprint and you have Flickering Shadows artifact traits

maiden cargo
#

flickering shadows yes as 1 point

vapid ridge
#

gotcha. that's pretty sweet

split sorrel
#

the spells exists, it's probably just something server side (not displayed for the client)

#

hence why it's "hidden"

vapid ridge
#

i'll probably start placing points in sub once i hit 54 traits on sin, @52 now

maiden cargo
#

u can use cloak and evasion to help it go through too 😃

#

pretty good with shoulders and sprint on 1 min CD

vapid ridge
#

yeah that is really nice

#

how can i find out what nightly i am using

#

i want to ask some questions about sims, but i know the 1st question is going to be about nightly

#

i'm using the build from a couple weeks ago, but not sure which one

maiden cargo
#

@vapid ridge simc --version I'd imagine

vapid ridge
#

where do you see that

split sorrel
#

in a terminal (cmd on windows)

#

tbh, just dl a new one 😃

vapid ridge
#

darn 😦 i ran like 6 sims for scaling etc and was going to ask some questions about results but i think i should probably get the new one anyway

glossy bobcat
split sorrel
#

The screenshot means nothing tbh.

#

At least, give the full profile. You can save it by clicking on "save". Then you can drag & drop here

#

(Save is on the bottom right)

glossy bobcat
split sorrel
#

Considering your talents and your gear, nothing surprises me.

glossy bobcat
#

I just wanted to see where I'm at, still to get my 3rd relic slot and obviously still gearing.

tough stag
#

how do I change the food and potion type in my simulations?

#

don't want to use old war and crit food

split sorrel
#

in precombat

tough stag
#

i've read that but can't seem to understand where to post the strings

willow pecan
#

@tough stag if you import your charecter, it will be imported with the appropritate strings included for easy modifications

crystal belfry
#

@split sorrel The latest Sim build looks like it has a better sim results with Shoulder/DOS/SF, but still the peak opner is 1.5M.

split sorrel
#

Assa ?

#

Yes I know, finishing to implement bugs then I'll look again at APLs

#

Altough, Assa doesn't have many bugs

crystal belfry
#

@split sorrel I can add specific opner, but am not aware of how to repeat it depening on fight duration and cool downs.

#

So it will be like siming 1 min fight which in completly not acurate.

river kestrel
#

does the APL for sin change if you got the leggo wrists (ie chaning poison under 30% when you run AP)?

split sorrel
#

No

river kestrel
#

so you just keep AP up under 30%?

split sorrel
#

Atm y

#

It's in my to-do list to see if it's worth to switch or not

river kestrel
#

ok thanks

desert summit
#

how can i share simcraft results? i simmed every possible talent combination with 10000 iterations on my character in 1 sim

split sorrel
#

save the report

willow pecan
#

The APL doesn't hold vanish to use under 30% if the remaining time won't allow to use vanish once more?

#

(with nightstalker)

split sorrel
#

I don't think so

willow pecan
#

i never wrote any apl line, but i'll try to write something to do that... i'm bored at work anyway

willow pecan
#

@split sorrel i need help :X
i'm trying to do this (the bottom part is what i've add):


&((equipped.zoldyck_family_training_shackles & time_to_30pct>120)^!equipped.zoldyck_family_training_shackles)```
#

the idea is: use vanish if you've got wrist and vanish will be ready again for 30%. XOR you don't have them

#

but i got an error:

Option parsing error:
Unexpected parameter '&'. Expected format: name=value

tribal scroll
#

have you tried removing the &

willow pecan
#

but it's a seperate if

#

i want everything up to that point to be true, but also the extra part i've add

split sorrel
#

remove the spaces

willow pecan
#

i didn't write it with spaces, i've add it here for readability

#

ah shit

#

i did have spaces, you're right

#

doesn't work though

split sorrel
#

what's new error ?

willow pecan
#

sorry, i meant it doesn't work as expected. it only used vanish once

#

at the start

#

maybe i need to add a check to also use it if target is below 30%

#

ok i got it working

split sorrel
#

😃

willow pecan
#

but the thing is... there is no dps increase. sometime even a decrease.

#

this is the line

#

but the last vanish is delayed, so it does work.
i'm not sure why it's not a dps increase, since wrists should increase SoT, no?

tribal scroll
#

what fight time did you set

willow pecan
#

i'm trying different times

#

so far tried 250 and 350
now trying 370

tribal scroll
#

my conjecture is that potentially, at certain fight times, holding vanish will result in a reduction in total number of times its cast

willow pecan
#

that's not possible with what i wrote

tribal scroll
#

so you're only getting 1 non-zoldycks nightstalker and 1 zoldycks nightstalker

#

instead of 2 non-zoldycks and 1 zoldyck

willow pecan
#

i've add this check : time_to_30pct>120
this means, use it above 30% as long as it will be available again (2 minutes)

split sorrel
#

check the number of vanish cast

willow pecan
#

the problem is, that i think it already uses the last vanish, when the target is below 30%
but there's no way to tell it's starting just slightly before the 30%

split sorrel
#

also check a given time without variation

#

and ofc, use fixed_time=1

willow pecan
#

fixed time? what's that and where do i use it

#

(and the vanish cast amount is equal. i can see that only the last vanish is delayed in my code)

split sorrel
#

somewhere in ur profile

#

just put fixed_time=1

#

on a new line

#

see wiki for more infos

#

then if it's delayed outside of a vendetta or idk

#

didn't checked the conditions

#

it's probably why

willow pecan
#

that is also what i'm assuming

#

i'l check

#

i mean, i can also add that the last vanish should wait for vendetta, since there will be no other opportunity to cast vanish

#

that should be a good thing in all cases, not just zoldyc

mossy hearth
#

depends if u lose a vendetta* cast or not

willow pecan
#

it shouldn't be possible to lose a cast with that

#

i mean, i'll check if vendetta is going to be ready under 30% and the fight will also last at least 36 more seconds

mossy hearth
#

i have some opener subterfuge apl from Synep, but its far from complete

#

the problem with that, is that it casts vanish on cooldown without the regard of Kingsbane or DoS after the opener

willow pecan
#

why should vanish regard KB?

merry cloud
#

To cover last ticks I assume

willow pecan
#

sorry i'm not following you 😶

merry cloud
#

Use vanish to have last ticks of Kingsbane to be 100% crit

#

Since they are the most powerful

willow pecan
#

ah, he didn't mention he meant with shoulders

#

@split sorrel I tested it now with 240s fixed time sim, and it was a 2k dps increase

merry cloud
#

I just assumed so

willow pecan
#

not sure if adding this to the apl is important enough, what do you think?

willow pecan
#

Can i run 2 sims simultaneously with different apl for each?

merry cloud
#

Copy whole thing, rename and edit

willow pecan
#

in the same page you mean?

swift trellis
#

which trinkets would be the best then to wear and combo as a sin rogue? (I do not have the legendary shoulders). 895 DoS / 890 Frond / 885 agi n vers / 890 Foci.

night stream
#

Hey guys, so my current three ledgendaries are:

#

Neck, Back and Legs.

#

Best combo, can anybody help?

#

On ST - Back and Legs seem to be out performing Back and Neck by 2k.

#

Anyway I can get a more accurate view on what to use?

merry cloud
#

@willow pecan same page yes

deft maple
#

@swift trellis I'd go frond and dos

maiden cargo
#

Does the Patchwerk fight in the options mean 100% focus on the boss, or does it include adds?

split sorrel
#
WoWWiki

Patchwerk is the first boss of the Construct Quarter in Naxxramas. He is typically seen as a gear check, and is a prime example of a tank and spank fight. Patchwerk's abilities are the same for both 10-player and 25-player raids, but his health and damage are scaled accordingly. These two scaled values will be shown together below, separated by a slash.

maiden cargo
#

Oh, nevermind, I'm stupid. I had set 4 enemies in the options as well. 😛

heady elm
#

does simcraft work properly with zoldycks?

merry cloud
#

Yes. What is the problem?

heady elm
#

i was just wondering because they sim so low compared to ravenholdt insignia

willow pecan
#

i was trying so hard to optimize vanish for zoldyck yesterday 😢

static burrow
#

does someone have a zoldyck combat potion part? i heard you should pop prolonged power on 30% with cds for zoldyck but simulationcraft doesnt have this as far as i can tell

cold shore
#

So when you are doing a NSed Rupture, you want to also try and vanish clipping Kingsbane?

compact prism
#

Just wanted to check before I did it, does anyone have assas sims for Mantle/Boots/Bracers alternates with (Nightstalker OR Subterfuge) sim results?

with DOS

heavy moon
#

Should be dwarf unless something has changed recently @maiden cargo

maiden cargo
#

@heavy moon Yeah, I wasn't sure i just know that we dropped a lot of crit so I'm not sure if dwarf still makes much of a diff with like 15% less crit

crystal belfry
#

Did the shoulder sims correctly with sin rogues yet? I have 26-2-2017 build?

toxic flower
#

!sim

#

!help

crystal belfry
#

26-2 build has a around 1.5M opner as peak wich is away lower than my opner.

merry cloud
#

Default apl is not well optimized for shoulders

#

Assuming we are talking about Assa

crystal belfry
#

ya

round canyon
#

the default apl is poorly optimised for shoulders for outlaw aswell

crystal belfry
#

It's really disapointing to see rouges from top 50 (sin spec) with shoulders still doesn't know the best opner with shoulders yet, and make some random opners.

strong gorge
#

Because parsing is like 15% playing your rotation well and 85% everything else (uptime, killtime, procs, adds, gear etc)

crystal belfry
#

I am aware of that, but what am trying to say, they are not doing the best opner from my point of view, and it's kinda feel bad.

#

You forgot about latency and fps :D, but I think they don't have such problems.

strong gorge
#

Should be included in uptime

#

As in, effective time you're applying your rotation to the target

crystal belfry
#

mmm but uptime wont show 3x mut, or missing 2 sec from crit opner.

strong gorge
#

What?

#

Anyhow, need to leave for work. Be back in 30 min

crystal belfry
#

cool

haughty escarp
#

what's the best sin shoulder opener accodring to you? the one pinned in general?

ionic eagle
#

yes

haughty escarp
#

im using a slightly altered version of it because i feel like i loose a lot of energy by vendettaing so soon

#

Garrote at 0 is missing (seems i ninjapulled or sth)

split sorrel
#

U're playing NS ?

haughty escarp
#

subterfuge

split sorrel
#

ok fine then

#

I saw a different opener with NS (wondering why he NS tho)

#

I'll work on Assa APL today

#

Since now it is in my addon, I want to improve it 😃

haughty escarp
#

sometimes i get another free global by using vanish envenom "in the same gcd", and the gap between kb and mut gets thinned out by regen through early AP proc on the first gcds (or bloodlust)

#

with that opener i get a last 4cp crit envenom right after DoS ends

#

the only thing that i dislike a bit is that SoT falls off for the last few ticks of the trinket

#

but i think that having an extra 4cp crit is worth it

#

but I still get 2m openers with the right procs

#

thoughts on this vs the one pinned in general?

ionic eagle
#

you should vanish when KB has 9sec remaining to maximise its damage with mantle

torn dome
#

But in that opener you miss kb with mantl and override garrote outsidr pandemic

ionic eagle
#

amd you miss out on more kb damage because it's not in the vendetta window

torn dome
#

And th energy you gain for vanish goes to waste as you dos duing mantle

haughty escarp
#

i dont cap energy this way using dos

#

and i think I miss 1 kb tick during mantle, so that is true

#

also true about kb outside of vendetta

#

will test kb damage on the dummy later on

crystal belfry
#

@split sorrel can you add my opner? best opner with shoulder, I don't care about credits :p

split sorrel
#

Tellme

#

What is it

#

and I'll test it

crystal belfry
#

Mut, Garrot, Rup, Mut, KB, Vend (Gnawed Thumb Ring if used), env, Mut, (Mut if BL up, FOK otherwise)- w8 1 sec for GC, Vanish, DOS, Env, Mut, Env,Mut, Env, Mut, (w8 1 sec so you dont over ride garrot from STF) if blood lust use Env and renew garrot after 2 sec delay.

split sorrel
#

Do we agree that this is all the "different" openers? :
NS - NS DoS - Subterfuge - Subterfuge Mantle - Subterfuge DoS - Subterfuge Mantle DoS

#

There is also NS Mantle, but I'm not sure I should consider it (and NS Mantle DoS by extend)

crystal belfry
#

This is the best, sadly I never seen someone from top 50 using it. You have full max dmg of KB 100% crit the last 9 sec. better chance for BP.

shut bear
#

You drop sot during draught

crystal belfry
#

No

#

5 sec

#

DOS must be used after Env because it applies AP sometimes 6 stacks or more within 3 sec, which will maximize the dmg of KB

shut bear
#

Then you missed something because there's 3 seconds after an envenom before draught at least

crystal belfry
#

2 GC and DOS 3 sec. 5 Sec SOT

#

and you open with Env from stealth.

haughty escarp
#

can you screenshot the sequence using a log?

shut bear
#

2 globals and wait for a global

#

Is what you typed

haughty escarp
#

i might have a few things to point out

crystal belfry
#

I have logs for it, but am playing on 500 ms

#

Just try it and tell me the result plz, but other opners with renew Garrot and not get advantage of Subterfuge and DOS vanish, I see that pretty bad opners

#

Renew garrot if you are playing Chromatic only may be.

#

but wasting 45 energy while 100% crit active to renew garrot with 125% dmg, instead of casting env is pretty retarted imo

#

Env has chance to proc PB, and Env already does x2 garrot dmg, even if 125% dmg increased.

torn dome
#

And in this one you are using ring too early. Kb is missing ven, ring is missing last kb ticks

#

Ven env outside mantle too

#

Casting fok is waste of global

#

Also you cannot randomly comoare garrote to env

#

One takes combos other doesnt

crystal belfry
#

NO!?

#

Ring has 12 sec, and you use while casting Env which is after the second Global CD.

ionic eagle
#

a log would bring clarity over this whole discussion

torn dome
#

You cast kb at 5 ring at 6

crystal belfry
#

@torn dome Vend and Env inside mantle!!

torn dome
#

Nope

crystal belfry
#

You know the 3rd Mut after the Vendetta? it is inside the Buff

#

The only abilty outside is the second Mut or FOK

split sorrel
#

@ionic eagle a simulation rather

#

single log means nothing.

crystal belfry
#

I can inv you in a group and show you, if you are online now.

ionic eagle
#

not for comparable dmg no, but it'll clearly show which casts fall in which windows

crystal belfry
#

Without a single buff or pot will do 2M sustain untill KB down I will drop from 2M dps

ionic eagle
#

which is the whole discussion atm

torn dome
#

Rather show the opener on a log and translate it into apl as aethys saif

ionic eagle
#

yes

#

that is what i mean 😃

torn dome
#

And you do realize mantle is 6s on opener

#

Not 9

crystal belfry
#

What is your character name in game please?

torn dome
#

How would that have anything to do with this

#

This is not epeen race. Rather refining assa apl

crystal belfry
#

Yes I know I would just inv you and log it, or give me sometime till I find the logs for it, coz it wasn't uploaded with registered name to the guild so I can't find it yet.

torn dome
#

Im not home. Just beat a dummy and upload a log?

split sorrel
#

Why is it 6s only ? With Subterfuge it's 3s aura + 6s buff

haughty escarp
#

6s when comin out of stealth, 9s with vanish

torn dome
#

From stealth its 6. Vanish 9

split sorrel
#

I should stop popping in the middle of a discussion 😄

crystal belfry
#

This my log on Krusos 2 days ago. And as I mentioned above I have a bad MS 500 ms or more.

#

And as I said the 3rd Mut will fall with 100% crit. Because when I play on moring not raid time with 70 ms It always fall on 100% resulting 4 CP

#

Just use ring while casting Env since it has no GC. 12 sec ring buff and already 2 sec gone from KB buff and 12 sec left.

torn dome
#

It physically cannot... Its global n7

crystal belfry
#

:S

torn dome
#

And the actual log would be nice

#

And that ring misses last tick of kb

haughty escarp
#

i dont understant opening mutilate instead of garrote though

split sorrel
#

^^

crystal belfry
#

Yes dude my bad on ring, just use it while casting Env just read what I typed plz. But 3rd Mut will be in last sec of mantle buff, it's the 6th abilty and not falling on the 7th GC!!!

haughty escarp
#

you loose 1gcd of potential regen

torn dome
#

Can you share the log?

crystal belfry
#

Because when you open with Mut you have chance to apply posion and after that use garrot to get the instannt tick with energy regen, and delaying garrot will provide you 1 sec to cast 1 more ENV while mantle buff up instead of renew the garrot.

#

Last Mut after using vanish will be with 4 CP, you have the option at this moment to cast env or w8 1 sec and renew garrot.

wheat mist
#

can someone explain me how to sim sin with mantle/dos properly?

strong gorge
#

Take a deep breath.
Are the logs private? Otherwise, just post the link and it's easy to see how things played out.

#

Delaying the garrote might make sense

torn dome
#

Improvement happens when you argue and defend said things. Theres nothing personal

crystal belfry
#

No the garrot does instant dmg when you aplly it, you have better chance to apply aposions when opned with Mut and delay garrot for more burst later on. And since you are on subterfuge you will gain 125% dmg as well.

haughty escarp
#

i'm on the dummy right now and don't see the instant damage on garrote anywhere

#

not showing up in the combat log either

crystal belfry
#

add Ripper#2562

torn dome
#

So... Do you actually have a log or what

crystal belfry
#

Yes I did send the screen shot.

torn dome
#

Thats not a log

#

Thats a screenshot

crystal belfry
#

I have no idea why you think am trolling. I am just have really bad latency which fucks it up sometims.

#

here it is if that will makes you feels better

#

without procs

#

change to casts

torn dome
#

Never said you were trolling. Just wanted to have something to back up quite the claims

granite gust
#

The man has some solid proof holy chit

crystal belfry
#

I don't claim, I said inv me and will do 2M dps sustained with 0 buffs and NO BL till the KB drops.

torn dome
#

Well the log shows you at 1.7m dps. Which is fairly normal for mantle dos

#

2m if you cut at kb

crystal belfry
#

The raid is at 9:00 EU time which is bad MS for me. That sequence of rotaion will result the best opner dps.

torn dome
#

If you look at top logs this is very typical dps on opener

crystal belfry
#

BTW I have bad gear. because am not lucky on drops although if you checked my "wowprogress" you will c how much M+ I have done. For example no COF till now and no better barcers same goes for other gear.

torn dome
#

Getting a bomb proc is basicslly 2m dps

crystal belfry
#

Ya with 9 ilvl higher?

#

and full BIS...

torn dome
#

Getting back to the original point of the convo. If you want said opener to be implemented, write it in simc apl and aethys will take a look

wheat mist
#

@torn dome how do you write simc apl´s? i wish to sim myself but i have mantle/dos on sin and i heard you need to change the apl´s to get proper results

torn dome
#

Theres a wiki on simulationcraft github

#

Dont know if there are guides

wheat mist
#

oh ok ill check it thanks

#

@wheat mist This is the apl for DoS + mantle according to people here on discord:

native topaz
#

how do I switch relics on simcraft?

pure condor
#

"BTW I have bad gear. because am not lucky on drops although if you checked m" but he has boots and mantle lego. "not lucky" 😄

haughty escarp
#

is there a general consensus on dos usage with mantle outside of the opener? I mean, use on cd or align with vanish?

#

i heared it should be delayed if under 33% crit, but i don't really know

#

maybe you simc gurus have an answer

crystal belfry
#

@pure condor 1st check my wowprogress for M+, secondly check all top 100 rogues all fights and compare with my gear. If you are someone with 300 M+ and want to get BIS 1st 2 legedndaries then better to mock yourself instead of mocking others.

#

And the arguments was about other top 10 doing same dmg as my opner while they have at least 9 ilvl higher on agi gear not rings and necks only. So I answered with that.

ocean sable
#

rank 1 mythic krosus all specs opened with DoS, thoughts?

crystal belfry
#

He just wasted AP application while KB up and energy pooling from using the trinket.

#

And all Trinket hits has less dmg than 5 or 4 stacks of AP, acording to my mastery it will do 48% less dmg

ocean sable
#

it looks like he fit in an extra cast at the end because of it

night tinsel
#

he did that so that he had more uptime on the mantle buff

split sorrel
#

DoS doesn't break stealth in Assa aswell

haughty escarp
#

you can vanish+stopattack macro into garrote/envenom very quickly and still not break stealth

split sorrel
#

garrote doesn't cancel stealth ?

#

because, AFAIK any ability use will trigger any "AA Ready"

#

it's why when you pull with let's say shadowstrike, it'll show "autoattack" (swing event) before SS dmg

haughty escarp
#

it is possible to use non instant damage openers without breaking stealth

#

or triggering auto attack

#

when you press sstrike you're also triggering auto attack

split sorrel
#

yes so Garrote should do the trick

#

I'm going to test differents openers for Assa aswell as test regular usage of DoS

#

Will post here the benchmark profile I'll setup for this

drifting quiver
#

Maybe this is for simple questions but when will these sims be ready for us plebs that cant do it themself. And does this mean that we maybe should open with DoS instead of the normal mantleopener ? 😮

split sorrel
#

technically

#

you can do this DoS trick as opener or on the vanish

#

as long as ur AA are cancel

#

about what it's the more worth, it's up to SimC

#

I guess the difference will be huge, but it'll be interesting to see

haughty escarp
#

But if you do the regular opener and cancel on vanish to DoS you loose on kingsbane stacking :/

split sorrel
#

You're right, I guess that's why he does that then

#

SimC will tell us 😃

#

now I can cancel_autoattack on whatever I want (and not only sprint for subtlety)

#

so I can test it easily ^^

untold needle
#

I kinda got confuzzled. DoS doesn't break stealth? And that's why you aa cancel?

split sorrel
#

no

#

well rather, yes it doesn't cancel stealth (the trinket effect itself), but AA still goes on during DoS so that's why you don't want to "extend your vanish" this way (due to KB)

#

but if your KB isn't ongoing and your vanish is coming back aswell as DoS (and u don't want to delay), it's probably a gain to do that

#

i.e. cancel aa garrote -> DoS (or DoS -> garrote) -> rupture

#

if garrote is far, just skip it and do DoS w/ cancel -> rupture

#

but since this is done with Subterfuge (because you have mantle)

#

you can always garrote, so 2nd thing isn't an issue and rupture isn't needed (because no modifier on it, in fact it's better to refresh it prior to vanish to do a lot of Envenom)

#

(I had NS in mind when I first wrote this)

#

there are definetely some interesting things there to test, not as many as Subtlety but still

#

hmm

#

is Rupture cancelling Stealth ? I don't think there is a direct dmg portion

#

because DoS basically extends ur stealth (same as subterfuge)

#

but then you have 50% dmg on it

#

so you would have an empowered rupture for 3 more seconds with 100% crit (and u pray RNGesus for BotA)

#

and 50% dmg on DoS

torn dome
#

Stuff not breaking stealth only happen with subter

#

It is the ancient subter interacting with stealth

split sorrel
#

Are you sure about that ? I can't test right now since I'm at work

torn dome
#

Yes

#

It is subter that causes it all.
Mounting, dos, flightmasters whistle, archeology, flag capping.

#

They all work in stealth only with subter

untold needle
#

so how would the opener look like with DoS/Subter/Mantle

#

as sin

tawny fulcrum
#

Had a friend testing DoS breaking stealth or not, did break stealth with nightstalker, didnt break stealth with subterfuge so yeah, subterfuge is broken (who knew?)

torn dome
#

its been like this since mop

split sorrel
#

Welcome to the #subtlety club, enjoying #subterfuge bugs 😃

naive birch
#

sorry, not right channel, but in pvp i can DoS people without breaking stealth?

split sorrel
#

probably with subter

#

may you test

#

vanish garrote envenom

#

while cancelling AA (envenom will re-enable it)

#

with and without subterfuge

#

you can put whatever instead of envenom, like mutilate

torn dome
#

I did this a when we discussed sub sprint

#

and the first global you use in vanish procs subter

split sorrel
#

what about with ns ?

torn dome
#

anything breaks it

split sorrel
#

does DoS procs subterfuge ?

#

I guess no

torn dome
#

does not

split sorrel
#

except DoS while stealthed (the buff)

#

it looks compromised for Vanish

#

if subter proc on the first gcd

torn dome
#

My testing:
Cast vanish
focuscast nb, evi, ss or any other regular rogue spell with focus macro so no aa never happens

#

And it procs subter which destealths

split sorrel
#

are you sure AA doesn't happen ?

#

AA happens automatically (without a right click or a /startattack) when you're casting an offensive spell

torn dome
#

no if you dont have a target

#

or target yourself

#

trick that has been rogue staple for years

split sorrel
#

and apparently only if it has a direct damage component

torn dome
#

focus garrote/rupture in sap

#

rupture and garrote would startattack aswell if I had the same target as my target

#

but if you target yourself and use macros only the spell happens

dry pawn
#

hey guys is simc using a rotation to accomodate the leg soulders when using dos?

#

or just using dos on cd?\

split sorrel
#

as sub yes

#

as assa, not really

dry pawn
#

why only as sub?

#

isnt the timing the same for both specs

#

lol

split sorrel
#

no

#

well, the cooldown is the same (80s), but you use it differently on both spec

dry pawn
#

but you use it durign the shoudlers buff right? is there a command i can put it just so it'll do it when i sim as sin?

split sorrel
#

you can tweak the APL to sync it yes

small moon
#

SimC says that Bracers/Cinidaria with DoS and Frond give me more DPS than Bracers/Insignia with DoS and CoF. Should I trust it?

lunar trout
#

@small moon Makes sense; you get to use DoS in your opener when the target is above 90% which is a lot of damage due to Cinidaria. I would be using CoF over Frond regardless of your legendary mix however.

small moon
#

@lunar trout So, I should keep Bracers/Cinidaria and DoS/CoF, yeah? 😃

split sorrel
#

@small moon depends on fight length and how the Boss HP are changing

small moon
#

@split sorrel most boss take around 10 seconds to drop from 100% to 90% hp with my guild. Does that make Insignia a better choice? Maybe use Cinidaria when we're not lusting at the start and Insignia otherwise? 😃

split sorrel
#

probably @small moon altough DoS is strong with Cinidaria

Is Jeweled Signet of Melandrus good for any rogue spec?

how do you sim a relic that you dont have?

#

is there a way to force the ilvl like other items @split sorrel

#

I dont understand the bonus id thing

split sorrel
#

,ilevel=925

#

for example

#

oh for relic

#

relic_ilevel=925/925/925

safe aspen
#

thanks a lot for all the help

#

😄

keen ledge
#

Huh, wasn't aware you could force ilvl like that rather than using the bonus id

#

Neat

safe aspen
#

I'm using 2 ma

#

but just got a 3rd one at 895 ilvl so I wanted to sim if it's worth to use 3

#

or well "just"

#

I got it last week

#

hmm nope I dont understand anyways

#

so this is what simc tells me

#

main_hand=,id=128870,bonus_id=741,relic_id=3516:1502:3337/3445:1497:1813/3536:1552:3337,gem_id=140822/140815/137465/0

#

and I wanna use this id

#

142510

#

at 895 ilvl

split sorrel
#

instead of which one ?

safe aspen
#

the third one I think

#

137465

#

do I just remove the whole bonus_id line

#

and replace with relic_ilevel=905/900/895

#

?

#

I did that and it seems to have worked

#

what is the use for the /0 at the end?

split sorrel
#

it's because blizzard coded 4 relics slot

#

probably the initial thing planned for 7.2 (before the 2nd trait)

#

or something for 7.3 like legendary ring in WoD

safe aspen
#

ye I feel u

#

thanks

split sorrel
#

yes it's fine the way u did it

safe aspen
#

so the change is from Vendetta 7.0 55.58sec to Vendetta 7.3 52.48sec

#

this is for krosus so a 363 sec fight with 0 variance

split sorrel
#

3rd MA ? it's 4s no ? so looks like ok

safe aspen
#

ye its 4 sec

safe aspen
#

so simc thinks its a 1k dps gain to use 3ma when my trinkets are frond + draught and a 1k dps loss when my trinkets are frond + cof

The thing is, you didn't gave any report (nor AMR link, nor SimC HTML file)

You might not be using the latest version, + SimC APL needs some tweak

dry pawn
#

#

in general tho isnt dos suppose to be super amazing with shoudler

split sorrel
#

it is

#

just the APL isn't using it correctly 😃

dry pawn
#

ok

limber spear
#

Yo team, I was wondering how shadowmeld(nelf racial) works with the legendary shoulders... as I am not a nelf I can't test this, but would shadowmeld work like a second vanish and give u the shoulder buff thus giving you a huge dps increase just from racials?

split sorrel
#

no.

limber spear
#

So it just straight up doesn't work?

night tinsel
#

it just won't give you the mantle buff

dry pawn
#

also , aethys , proper way to use shoudler with dos is to use dos and vanish on cd right?

#

it will only line up on third vanish after the opener?

split sorrel
#

I would say using it on pull

#

it seems to be a gain, but didn't verified yet

#

otherwise, yes try to sync it

dry pawn
#

is it worth delaying though?

#

40 secs delay to sync them up

#

so it will likely perfectly sync around the third vanish

split sorrel
#

no, don't delay too much

#

except if it's the last one of the fight ofc

#

(delay vanish or dos, depending on which one is the last and if u'll have enough time)

willow pecan
#

i wrote a line that syncs last vanish with vendetta if you wanna try it out

#

(it delays the last vanish if it would not mean you lose a vanish)

fluid wagon
#

I thought this as well but after researching a few top parsing rogues they are delaying the 40 sec to line them up and getting 5-10mil more dmg on fel crazed than me using it 4 times not lined up correctly and them using it 3

spice girder
#

IF we have Shoulders - do we need to use Subterfuge over Nightstalker? Since it dosn't seem that we are getting prio to do Nightstalker Ruptures?

#

or did i misunderstand something?

fluid wagon
#

subterfuge with shoulders yes

spice girder
#

what does the opener change into? Because i don't want to drop to much off after the opener - like for example withoit shoulders you would be able to Burst higher if you didn't nightstalk into rupture but you would then drop off more until Vanish gets ready again,

#

meaning i don't want to fuck up a new muscle memory learning curve and having to redo it again

fluid wagon
#

do you have draught or no?

spice girder
#

Not yet - hopefully 2night thou

fluid wagon
#

i burst about 2mil with draught and shoulders

spice girder
#

haven't dropped besides once and the Warrrior got it (maeks snese)

fluid wagon
#

its definitely worth relearning

#

without shoulders it would be something like this

torn dome
fluid wagon
#

garrote>mut>rup> mut>KB>env > vendetta/vanish >reapply buffed garrote for pandemic buff> spam mut>env cuz muts will give u 4 cp

#

without draught I still burst about 1.5-1.7 with this

#

and hold 900k-1mil for quite awhile

Ok, that shows Agi > Vers > Crit >Mastery >Haste for my stat priority as assassination. That sounds wrong, so I wanted to make sure

torn dome
#

How does damage break down look like?

hazy steeple
#

That what you're looking for?

torn dome
#

Yep. So have to use even earlier

hazy steeple
#

ok

torn dome
#

That has the bug aswell

hazy steeple
#

@torn dome What's the bug? Curious so I can identify myself instead of having to show screenshots as I go through builds

torn dome
#

If you look at buff uptimes

#

Stealth is up for 50% of the fight

hazy steeple
#

Ahh

torn dome
#

And if you look at action prio list

#

Open example sequence

#

It casts rupture all the time

hazy steeple
#

There we go. b7c146a should be good

#

And stat weights look better

torn dome
#

Good to know. It has already been fixed so the next nightly will work again

hazy steeple
#

Cool

split sorrel
#

I guess, I didn't tested 😄

torn dome
#

At leas we know now which version is fine

random gorge
#

the latest .exe seems to work fine for me

#

envenom highest damage source at about 24%

#

and stat weights look good too

torn dome
#

Goot to know

wet glade
#

What's the reasoning behind SSing at higher cp with mantle equipped? I can understand different logic under the buff, but the apl only has cp deficit >=blah talent shb stuff - equipped.mantle. Did I read this line wrong?

safe aspen
#

@strong gorge sure there are deaths but not to that extent, it's always at twice or more of what sim says it should be

#

the uptime of the buffs the memento procs that is

glossy wolf
#

has anyone seen the updated sims on simcraft for sin? they've got 910 + boots/shoulders at 1.1m sustained dps... Is there a bug I haven't seen?

#

got it @torn dome thanks

pine grotto
#

Is there a simcraft issue with Garrote Damage? It seems to be twice as high as it should be. It shows at 14.7% of my damage while my logs and AskMrRobot are at like 7%. Uptimes are all upper 90's. 898ilvl

#

If I revert back a to my version of Simcraft I downloaded on 2/2 it goes back to 7.4% (also drops my dps by about 100k)

torn dome
#

again read a few posts up

#

Could discord make it so pinned posts show like sticky posts on forums 🤔

sorry about that, I feel better now.

#

need a #NEWS function to keep stuff like that

#

Its cool. Id agaain really like for discord to have a bit more customization in terms of modding bigger cannels

#

is the nightly build bugged?

#

i sim like 50k more than i did with the version from 28/2

#

and nothing changed with my gear

#

oh i just read

#

hahaha

#

im stupid

torn dome
#

Last nights nightly had a stealth bug slipped into it so results "may" read very much incorrectly. Use a nightly few builds before or wait for a new one.

tribal scroll
#

someone remind me to unpin when its fixed

torn dome
#

I can remoe it too, should be this night

split sorrel
#

yeah Collision will push another nightly in less than 12hrs I guess 😃

round vapor
#

does "a stealth bug" mean an unnoticed software defect, or a bug related to "stealth"?

strong gorge
#

The latter, but I can see the confusion

split sorrel
#

It's the stealth extended bug

#

I extended a bit too much (forgot the non subterfuge talent :D)

vapid ridge
#

lol so if not specced subterfuge you get permastealth?

#

would be nice if discord had an option for a channel banner that is always across the top of the channel and follows as you scroll down

#

@split sorrel do you only update simc for rogues or do you make changes for all classes

split sorrel
#

mostly rogue

pure condor
#

@split sorrel do you still update your onedrive simc collection or is that abandoned?

#

any ideas on why simcraft would crash every time it finishes simming

dapper beacon
#

can anyone help me out w a simcraft problem? i can't import my character and if i try to use the addon and copy/paste that into simulate, the result i get is from a different character and it gives me an error

it won't even let me sim automated profiles

feral crystal
#

Just read the pinned message

#

had a feeling something was off, mastery way undervalued, envenom damage being half what it should be with 4piece

willow pecan
#

@feral crystal good thing you wrote that now, ause i didn't notice it
i was simming myself for an hour now, and it did seem weird, that all of a sudden it simmed better with dropping mastery from 160% to 130%

#

@torn dome do you think there may be a chance simc nightly could be bugged?

There's always a chance the nightly can be bugged

why dont you just use the previous version?

dire pebble

I have a question about siming trinkets. I have a fairly wide array of trinkets but I get HUGE dps variances. I currently have a 865 Tirathon's, 875 Nightblooming Frond, 890 Arcanogolem Digit, and a 895 Entwined Elemental Foci. Simc is telling me to use the Arcanogolem and Tirathon's, but pretty much any other combination results in almost a 100k DPS loss. I was curious if this sounds correct as I feel from research I should be using some of these higher ilvl trinks I have available.

torn dome
#

Update sim

#

Newest nightly is now up and seems to sim properly 👌

dire pebble
#

Thank you, I will have to update when I get home and see if it makes a difference. Just didnt seem right

old arch
#

Is there any APL for sub with legendary shoulders and DoS? By default felcrazed rage is 4.3% of total damage and low crit for me on simc.

#

In raid it's usually 10+% when timed with sprint/vanish

split lintel
#

What is the point for sprinting with drought?

regal agate
#

you can combine the sprint trait with the usage of the trinket. even more benefitial with the shoulders see #tc-updates for more information on that (sub specific)

split sorrel
#

@old arch are u running latest simc version ?

#

with DoS it does sync sprint & dos

#

with and without shoulders, it's not a gain to delay dos after sprint usage

#

at least, from my latest test

#

but maybe sprint action wasn't optimal

old arch
#

Today's nightly, noticed it with other previous versions too

split sorrel
#

shows html and what u think is wrong

#

aswell as logs

old arch
#

maybe i'm not getting it right, but the question arrised when I saw how DoS portion is

#

how low*

#

example of a log where I delayd sprint for DoS:

#

so if simc do not uses DoS only under 100% crit buff window, it's considered as not optimal to delay sprint/vanish for DoS?

rotund current
#

so is there a special API or something for simc to properly sim mantle and DoS?

#

i remember seeing people asking about this a couple days ago

pliant briar
#

Anyone have an issue when trying to sim 2 legendaries at once? it instantly crashes SimC for me

split sorrel
#

No

mystic jolt
#

@split sorrel how do I sim different relics from what I currently have equipped>

#

?

split sorrel
#

replaces the id

#

and for bonus id, just use relic_ilevel override

mystic jolt
#

ok thanks

untold needle
#

what better 885 stat stick or 880 frond?

dapper holly
#

DoS does it crit every time of the first hit is crit or do you need full Manyle duration for the best damage

night tinsel
#

each hit is individually rolled, so you need mantle up during the full 3 seconds to guarantee they all crit

I gained a few trinkets this week, i'm unsure as to which is actually good for me since NFB isn't simming accurately (or so i've read) any advice would be many appreciate I have NFB-890 / CoF-875-socket/Arcanogolem digit-875-socket / ethereal urn-875 / Memento of Angerboda-880 http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/hellfire/Stickyfíngaz/advanced

Is there a way to get the bonusid to an item that has a socket without equipping it

stable river
#

so what are some of the biggest mistakes new assassination player make that kills their DPS out put?

gaunt gale
#

@stable river Dying is a big one. Also, finishing only on 5cp seems common.

stable river
#

wait

#

youre not supposed to do finishers on 5 cp only?

lusty hazel
#

4 or 5

#

usually if you have 4 don't cast another ability

#

in some situations you can use kingsbane or garrote to get to 5cp

stable river
#

so ive been adding in another mutilate to get to 5 cp, and by doing that i know im over capping but i never knew it was a damagen loss

#

is it?

lusty hazel
#

It is a damage loss to Mut on 4cp, you lose one cp for sure, possibly 2 or 3 depending on crits

keen ledge
#

It's a huge damage loss

#

Big waste of energy and CP

#

You finisher at 4+

stable river
#

so if i need to refresh rupture and i only hae 4cp, and i cant garrote or KB i should just refresh

keen ledge
#

You can just rupture at 4+

#

Except of you're vanishing to refresh

stable river
#

and if i have a ticking rupture that doesnt need to be refreshed and i cant use garrote or kingsbane i should envenom?

#

what about keeping envenom up while kingsbane is up

#

i find that kinda hard to do

keen ledge
#

Yea, ANY finisher at 4+ except when vanish rupture

lusty hazel
#

Before you kingsbane you want 4-5cp and a full energy bar

#

that way you can sustain envenoms

stable river
#

so would i KB first then envenom?

#

or vice versa?

lusty hazel
#

if you're at 5 you'd env first, if you're at 4 I'm not sure

keen ledge
#

But guys this is not the right channel for the topic

mortal cobalt
#

Why does Insignia of Ravenholdt show so high in the sims on sin? I got it and feel like its utter crap

willow pecan
#

because it's more or less as good as wrist or boots.
they are all in the realm of 5% increase

mortal cobalt
#

but ring is no 5% increase on sin, its about 3,4% on 1 target. Also I simmed boots+shouldern onto my character and then get almost 60k more dps, so I doubt they are all in the same area

anyone else getting their time spent refreshing rupture around 17%?

Hey guys, outlaw main here trying to decipher a few things on my Simc results. Why is pistol shot's Damage per execute time so damn high. How is that different from DPS of the ability?

is the shoulders BIS for sin?

yes

What's the best way to sim additional levels in the 4th golden dragon? I'm just interested to see in how much extra damage a level will give me

if you mouse over the dragon, it tells you. the first point is +5% damage, then i think it's +1% every point

or you can find the artifact line in your import file (from using the simc addon ingame)

looks like this

Hi there ! Do you have/know how to make a sim profile to compare different rtb policy ?

blazing flame
#

nobody ?

proven dawn
#

You'll need to edit the APL to implement a new RTB policy

blazing flame
#

Yeah i have allready did it, but i don't know if it's possible to do something like "copy=3+tb"

#

Or, on linux for exemple, can you import and launch a file with a command like "./simcraft inputNameFile outputHtmlFile" ?

proven dawn
#

I think so but let me ping @split sorrel who knows better

blazing flame
#

Ok ty, i looked for it, but i didn't find clear explanation about it in sim doc. But the last option will be great, that's mean i write some code to automaticilly find the best dice policy for my stuff

proven dawn
#

It is designed to do automated design space exploration using SimC

#

(Sorry didn't realize you were asking a more technical question, hard to tell people who just want someone to write a new APL policy for their idea and people who want to write new APL themselves)

Oh nice ! Some .py code. Maybe i can adapt that to rtb policies. I'll check into it
