safe aspen
#

I don't know if it counts pets expiring or something like that as a death

round canyon
#

im sure the simulation is spot on with its uptime

safe aspen
#

but I consistently had 13-16% uptime on the 3 buffs

bleak heart
#

Yeah that's about what I get on it (I have a 905 one)

#

It's about +/- 2-3% but around that area.

safe aspen
#

so 40~% total?

bleak heart
#

The buffs can overlap

safe aspen
#

exactly

#

and u add the uptimes

#

of each buff

bleak heart
#

Yeah, roughly that

safe aspen
#

simc has it at like half those values

#

so

round canyon
#

can someone please provide multiple logs of this occuring?

safe aspen
#

like I can't swear there were never any deaths

#

but it is 1 proc per death

#

right?

bleak heart
#

I think so

safe aspen
#

I'm trying to find my old logs right now

bleak heart
#

I swapped to it because it was simming higher than my 880 draught even though I have shoulders

#

And that seemed odd.

#

And now I am like "Welp, not going back." after trying it out.

sterile jolt
#

Adjusting the APL to use my DoS outside of shoulders generally yields higher dps for me.

#

Compared to inside the mantle buff.

#

Re: momento, sans deaths, I always found it to have roughly 30% up time.

ashen crater
safe aspen
#

I dunno these old logs seem corrupted

#

there's like 40 people in our mythic raids?

round canyon
#

thats actually below the expected 22ish% uptime for a no death run

ashen crater
#

yeah, 6 kills is a small sample size

safe aspen
#

anyways from what I can tell going through these old logs it seems to be around 30% uptime with the occasional death

strong quest
#

QUESTION: apl for subterfuge doesnt seem to reapply garrote on first vanish is this correct, QUESTION 2, does nightstalker bug often by giving the first auto attack after exiting stealth 50% more damage? and if yes on this question how cani prevent this ?

safe aspen
#

evidently I was just talking out of my ass

#

I'm sure I've seen those numbers though, must have been looking at logs of wipes or something I guess?

#

regardless, don't trust what I've said...

merry pike
#

Mao my apl uses garrote on vanish

sterile jolt
#

The new APL doesn't for me as well, I'm still using an old one with some customisations.

atomic flame
#

Doesn't do it for me either

#

I don't think that opener apl is correct at all

#

If you're not using kingsbane after garrote like the old APL

#

I suggest this as an opener

#

spread the envenom for SoT, have 100% uptime on envenom buff, 100% kingsbane in vendetta, and you have plenty of pooled energy for vanish

#

You catch the last ticks of kingsbane in 100% crit for maximum damage

#

if someone wants to pick holes in that opener, that would be great ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Open to improving it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

rich temple
#

^same one i use w/subterfuge

atomic flame
#

except of course this one shown is a 4cp mut before vanish

#

this one is without

sterile jolt
#

Thats the one i've been rolling with, but your right that it does end up with screwing your energy

atomic flame
#

Yeah, from what I read in this channel a couple days ago, that was supposedly 10%less damage on the opener overall

sterile jolt
#

hmm 10% seems like a lot, not sure where they come up with that number

atomic flame
#

What was that opening for?

sterile jolt
#

I guess the other thing to note is that with your golden trait, you're holding KB for 20% of its uptime in your opener.

#

Subterfuge, shoulders

atomic flame
#

Yeah, that is true so you legit lose 2.5s of kingsbane cd

#

because by envenom the AP has obviously stacked to 5

#

that's the only downside I could see

sterile jolt
#

its closer to 5s of KB cd

atomic flame
#

is that you lose the kb cd

sterile jolt
#

i.e. using KB on your second move as opposed to your 7th

atomic flame
#

Yeah

sterile jolt
#

I've considered throwing in a DoS between the 2 mantle buffs on speed runs, the only time i use it

atomic flame
sterile jolt
#

you'd have to compare both side by side, since 2 seperate people couldn't compare due to stats, relics etc

atomic flame
#

that's delayed

#

But

#

on AVERAGE

sterile jolt
#

i'd compare your total damage between the 2

atomic flame
#

they both seems to do around the same damage

#

just gonna do that now, yeah

sterile jolt
#

The one thing to note though

atomic flame
#

From my averages

sterile jolt
#

The opener i showed seems skewed to hero on pull

atomic flame
#

it was 3.1M with 2nd action as kingsbane

sterile jolt
#

I can't remember exactly, but i think i remember feeling pretty starved without hero

atomic flame
#

7th kingsbane it averages to hang on

calm sinew
#

So, looking for some legit advice here. 901 assassination. I have shoulders & boots for 95% of encounters, and FoK-cloak for skorp. I also have Prydaz for questing and world shit, and Valeera-healing-pants for hard solo stuff like appearance 7.2 challenges. ... Just got Kil'jaedan's Burning Wish. WTF use for it would I EVER have? Or should it just rot in my bank? I can't see any use whatsoever, but please, enlighten me if I'm missing something.

#

All sims w/ multiple mobs show it less dps over cloak too, btw.

atomic flame
#

Just over 5M

sterile jolt
#

shrug not every leggo is gonna be a winner when you have BIS

atomic flame
#

Kingsbane stacks wayyyy harder in opener with later kingsbane

sterile jolt
#

Maybe in the next patch it might be decent if the trinkets available are trash.

#

Hmm that does seem pretty significant change

#

so is that just KB damage or total damage?

atomic flame
#

KB damage in opener only

sterile jolt
#

you're just using training dummy?

atomic flame
#

the first kingsbane

#

Na, this is from my logs

#

I'm comparing a star augur log to botanist, just different openers (both no hero)

sterile jolt
#

I guess you'd need to factor in the extra CD time though

#

I.e. holding vanish an extra 5ish? seconds, and KB the same.

atomic flame
#

It means that your cd's are

#

~10ish seconds delayed

#

for the rest of the fight

#

If you're doing speed kills

#

then the kingsbane first is better

sterile jolt
#

You could probably sim this

atomic flame
#

Probably, but I don't know how really

#

The current apl doesn't do it correctly

#

Well I say "correctly"

#

I mean

#

my way

#

xD

sterile jolt
#

Was gonna say ๐Ÿ˜›

atomic flame
#

And I'm not simc expert

#

no*

#

I did a night of star augur progress with your opener

#

so I'm gonna do a night with mine

#

and compare the results

#

should I average out opener dps

#

for the same time frame?

#

so for when vendetta falls off?

#

Perhaps the first 30s of the fight

#

first 30s seems fair

#

gonna do that and see what comes of it

sterile jolt
#

Just looking back on your opener

#

Why wouldn't you just do the same thing as the opener I showed but delay the second vanish for like 4 seconds?

atomic flame
#

Because then you'll be energy starved for the 6s Crit

sterile jolt
#

So if you drop 2 muts in that time after your 2nd envenom in the first mantle, I geuss yeah, you'd end up dragging that vanish out to get energy

#

depends on hero I suppose

atomic flame
#

Yeah, and it's better to go the safe route, keep maximum SoT uptime, and have vanish with high energy for the last 6s of Kingsbane

#

Hero would mean you could probably fit one extra Envenom in the vanish window

sterile jolt
#

Not a fan of wasting that much CD uptime

#

Ideally, with KB as the second move, you'd vanish around the 9s mark for KB's end to be in the crit window

#

However, looking at the charts again, I have a feeling you'll get a better amount of poison application doing the KB as a second move - using the times there, the crit window fades on the last 2s of KB

#

I'd have to see if I can delay an extra 1s before 2nd vanish without energy capping, I have a feeling without hero, its feasible.

atomic flame
#

Yeah, but you will very likely lose SoT uptime holding it, because that is static

sterile jolt
#

Alternatively, a FOK or poisoned knife if you're desperate for filler before second vanish but that feels strange.

atomic flame
#

And that matters a lot for the envenom during Crit buff

#

In fact, not lose SoT

#

But you'll have 8% SoT

sterile jolt
#

i think at most you'd lose 1s of SoT just before your first mantle finisher

atomic flame
#

And from what I recall, a 10% SoT does not overwrite an 8% one if you clip

sterile jolt
#

I mean, its only a downer if AP is re-applied in that 1s

#

i think it does

#

The next AP overwrites the old with whatever the current SOT % is

atomic flame
#

There was a mention a long while back that it snapshot the first clip and used that throughout, so on occasion it was worth letting it drop to apply a 10%

#

But that was testing pending iirc

sterile jolt
#

Hmm thats easy to test on a target dummy

#

I've not heard of that, thats a bit old world snapshotting.

atomic flame
#

The only issue I have with Kingsbane on second opener is that you obviously trade Kingsbane stacking for the Kingsbane cdr

#

It has to be one or the other, can't have both

sterile jolt
#

Well I'm not sure you really do though.

#

As I said, if you delay your vanish by 1s, you'll only 1s of mantle buff, and I don't think the SOT is detrimental.

atomic flame
#

You have 3 seconds of Kingsbane (so about 21% of Kingsbane) without an Envenom buff up

sterile jolt
#

Further, I'm curious but haven't counted, I have a feeling the KB opener puts more moves during KB

#

since you've got all those builder/finisher sets inside KB rather than prior to KB

#

so more moves, more poison applications.

atomic flame
#

But less chance to apply

#

30% less chance

sterile jolt
#

hmm not sure about not having an envenom buff up for 3s, i'll have to scroll up

#

whats a 4p envenom, 6s?

atomic flame
#

I'm not sure, you'd have to check

#

My WA has a bar that shows how long is left

#

I don't know actual timings

sterile jolt
#

my last finisher before vanish is at 7s

#

my next envenom is at 9s without delay

#

with delay at 10s

#

not sure where your seeing anything drop

atomic flame
#

You Kingsbane second yes?

#

At 2s

sterile jolt
#

Yes

atomic flame
#

Your first Envenom

#

Is at 5s

#

That is 3s without 30% increased poison application chance

sterile jolt
#

thats no envenom buff for 3s but I do 3 moves, i nthe following 3s, you do 1 move in your opener.

#

I mean within 3s of KB

#

Sorry, incomplete sentence.

atomic flame
#

Isn't poison applied via auto attacks?

sterile jolt
#

It can be applied on all attacks

round canyon
#

poisons are applied by all melee attacks

#

so yes

atomic flame
#

Not abilities?

sterile jolt
#

Including abilities

atomic flame
#

Well, then what it comes down to is this

sterile jolt
#

Anyway, much of a muchness I'm sure. Its given me some food for thought about adding a bit of a delay between my vanishes. Potentially even inserting DoS if I dump a filler in there.

#

Interestingly, seeing a lot more people go with NS lately, I might have to give it another go.

atomic flame
#

Sacrifice Kingsbane cd for higher Kingsbane damage (as I do think Kingsbane stacks damage higher with my opener), or not sacrifice Kingsbane cd to get out Kingsbane on average 10-12s earlier on a fight

#

And still get pretty good Kingsbane stacking

#

Nightstalker vanish > Envenom

#

Is what I think a lot of people are doing

#

However, I sim 8k higher with subterfuge

#

7.2 shook a lot of thing up, and it's really not set in stone yet imo

#

I think atm it's "do what you can perform with"

#

As both are relatively close

rich temple
#

subterfuge also becomes significantly better if there's an add you can also get a garrote up on

atomic flame
#

Yes, for example mythic trilliax

rich temple
#

^

atomic flame
#

Or the Holy grail of hc botanist

#

Vanish, Garrote x3

round canyon
#

mythic trilliax multi dotting isnt that great

rich temple
#

as much as i hate that fight, yeah it's prety sweet hitting that 3x garrote

round canyon
#

since damage to the adds does nothing and isnt counted on warcraftlogs

#

all your getting is some minor energy gains

#

if you also poison them

atomic flame
#

The adds?

rich temple
#

nah the main adds count

#

the scrubbers don't

atomic flame
#

We're talking about the big add on mythic

sterile jolt
#

Yeah, the mirrior image thing

round canyon
#

my B so use to people in this discord only talking about heroic fights

sterile jolt
#

That said, subterfuge can fuck your timings significantly

rich temple
#

aha gotchya

sterile jolt
#

Since you need to keep an eye on garrote CD before vanishing

atomic flame
#

Yes

rich temple
#

true, though i never have a problem personally

#

the icons are right beside each other in my WA's

atomic flame
#

But same with Nightstalker can fuck with you by not having 5cp before vanish in your vendetta window

#

Both have negatives

#

Both have positives

rich temple
#

also true, though probably easier to manage

#

personally i roll with subterfuge

sterile jolt
#

I think thats an easier thing to deal with, since you're spenidng time pooling prior to vanish anyway

rich temple
#

i prefer it, perform better with it too

sterile jolt
#

I roll subterfuge as well, but mostly got used to it

rich temple
#

i like that they sim so close, there's a real choice to be made

atomic flame
#

Subterfuge is simpler imo

sterile jolt
#

tried nightstalker the other day, had a brain fart on my opener and was like "nope nope"

rich temple
#

yeah it is, and i got used to it too w/9sec from vanish

atomic flame
#

On release

#

Reclear*

#

I'm gonna roll alacrity

#

Cos idgaf about parses and its fun

rich temple
#

i actually never played sin with NS (got mantle, THEN switched to sin)

#

i'd love to be less limited by AP, it's just so strong

atomic flame
#

Yeah, AP is a 40k dps increase for me haha

rich temple
#

rip

atomic flame
#

But I do like alacrity

#

And exsanguinate is just a troll talent at this point

sterile jolt
#

Its funny though, AP isn't really keeping us glued to bosses like most suggest. Like, its a factor. But having such short and non-lining up ST CDs

#

Removing AP isn't really gonna fix that

rich temple
#

alacrity is nice, very passive but beats AP limiting your target swapping like mad

sterile jolt
#

"oh, can't switch off boss, I have KB on" "Oh, now I have vendetta on"

rich temple
#

true but with AP

#

it's not even worth rupturing most adds

sterile jolt
#

not sure about that

round canyon
#

yeah but with AP you can never switch off

#

without it you can briefly switch off very easily

sterile jolt
#

I always rupture adds for energy

rich temple
#

unless you'll be getting to 5 stacks via FoK and shit

#

i'm pretty sure it's a DPS loss if you rupture something that won't get 5 stacks

atomic flame
#

You only need 1 stack for energy purposes

sterile jolt
#

I'll be suprised if thats true.

rich temple
#

well

#

lemme rescind that, i haven't seen data

#

but it's definitely a pain in the ass knowing that any dmg you deal to that target will be ~40% less effective

atomic flame
#

It is 100% dependant on how long the add lives

sterile jolt
#

just see them as boosting your ST dps ๐Ÿ˜›

rich temple
#

even if it lives less than the total rupture time though, if you can dump energy before it dies

#

the refund is the same as what you would have gotten anyway, no?

atomic flame
#

Like on chrono those 4 small adds out of the big one are fok

#

Nothing more haha

rich temple
#

definitely

#

i tend to try to get KJ to line up with the 4 too but...

#

that's cause i have to use that shit anyway LOL

atomic flame
#

You're better off using KJ after the interrupt

rich temple
#

even then though, i'm conscious of the fact that i gotta hold off for at least a couple FoK's

#

for AP stacks

round canyon
#

if you use KJ on the 4 adds+boss your getting a 400% damage increase compared to nothing

rich temple
#

^

#

exactly

atomic flame
#

Chrono takes increased damage after the interrupt

rich temple
#

400% though?

round canyon
#

thats much larrger than the interrupt

#

4 adds+boss is 5 times the normal damage

#

thats a 400% increase

atomic flame
#

I didn't think the radius of KJ was that large

rich temple
#

it'll hit them all

atomic flame
#

And sometimes the boss is stacked slightly off if your tank is potato

rich temple
#

okay true, but that's not under your control

#

even hitting just 1 would be better

#

if the boss is off to the side, i'll quickly target one and send it that way to hit all 4

atomic flame
#

Yeah, the only reason why I suggested it is because I thought it didn't have THAT large a radius, as I don't have it

rich temple
#

it's mostly cause boss is stacked on top

#

but i'm pretty sure it hits all 4 even if you just target one of them individually

atomic flame
#

My last mythic Chronomatic, I only did 997k

rich temple
#

how long was the fight?

atomic flame
#

So I'm still fucking up my cd usage

#

3:13

rich temple
#

rip

#

i love my guild and raid, and i'm by no means topping DPS every fight or anything but

atomic flame
#

I was 906 then however

rich temple
#

we don't have the dps to get the kill that quick

atomic flame
#

I am now 911

#

Do this week's reclear

#

Should be hype af

rich temple
#

well i finally got a CoF LOL

#

895 socketed, not incredible but damn beats the hell out of not even getting one off LFR

#

pretty damn stoked for this thing

atomic flame
#

Mine is 895 also, replaced an 875 I had since NH release

rich temple
#

nice

split sorrel
rich temple
#

rip, my bad

#

bringing it back though

atomic flame
#

Got carried away

rich temple
#

pain in the ass that NBF sims higher than CoF

#

i can only pick one cause of KJ

atomic flame
#

Wait, it does?

rich temple
#

for me at least, i'll resim to confirm

atomic flame
#

How many ma relics/ma trait points do you have

rich temple
#

2 MA 1 envenom

#

no boots

#

and don't have the new MA trait yet

atomic flame
#

That still seems really off to me

rich temple
#

so, pretty bad there

atomic flame
#

The CDR on vendetta has way more worth

rich temple
#

agreed

#

that's why i'm using CoF over it anyway

atomic flame
#

I am also 2MA1TB, with boots cof and 4/4 MA

#

Where is that from o.O

rich temple
#

simC has it as 4.5% of dmg (NBF) which is reasonable

atomic flame
#

That's not all it goes though

#

Recursive strikes is not the only damage it provides

rich temple
#

just a server that hosts simC

#

uh, that's all it provides compared to CoF

#

same agi

atomic flame
#

That's true, but I recommend simming in latest nightly build yourself anyway

rich temple
#

it's updated to nightly

atomic flame
#

๐Ÿค”

rich temple
#

mmm well actually, they update every night one hour from now so

#

it's not updated to the absolute most current

#

but i've consistently simmed higher with frond

atomic flame
#

But do you perform higher with it?

rich temple
#

just got my CoF an hour ago LOL

atomic flame
#

Ffs

rich temple
#

my frond only averages around ~2.5-3% dmg for most pulls anyway

#

so i'm going with CoF

atomic flame
#

Frond is way more variable than cof, that is true

rich temple
#

obviously once i can replace KJ though i'll use both, so it won't be any problem

#

just a pain that it drops my sim DPS

#

and i suppose it also drops my max DPS even if the sim is too generous

#

since frond could get lucky and proc like mad

atomic flame
#

Do you only have kj+shoulders?

rich temple
#

+prydaz and thraxi, get@me

atomic flame
#

Try simming prydaz+ CoF + nbf

#

See how that comes out

rich temple
#

here are some sims i did before

#

where the NBF is replacing KJ, and the other trinket is the 895 CoF (w/socket)

atomic flame
#

But that's not what you have :o

rich temple
#

?

atomic flame
#

Like I said, try the nbf+CoF with prydaz

#

And compare to nbf+kj+current nevk

rich temple
#

will do but, i believe i've done it before and it won't sim higher than KJ

#

especially since i pulled a 925 neck

atomic flame
#

Hey, it's worth checking, just in case

#

I do like checking all my legendary combinations for different situations

rich temple
#

i'm pretty sure i simmed the hell out of it when i got it, but who knows might have changed

atomic flame
#

It's like re checking neck enchants after acquiring new gear

#

Trained solder Sims higher than Satyr for me atm

rich temple
#

aha well i've been lax on that too, i think i simmed it recently actually but

#

since you mentioned it i'm resimming

#

i didn't even know trained soldier could get past satyr till fairly recently

#

kind of as expected, maybe someday prydaz will miraculously beat KJ

atomic flame
#

Well, I think by then you'll have a more desirable legendary

rich temple
#

aha we'll see, 50/50 on next legendary

#

bracers sim almost as high as boots though (cause i've got terrible wrists, and 925 boots)

atomic flame
#

Yes they do for me too

#

thre is a 8k difference

#

for my gear setup

rich temple
#

mine's extremely tight, ~2k

atomic flame
#

have 905 wrists with crit > mastery

#

but 890 boots with mastery > vers

rich temple
#

i've got 925 grovetenders, and 900 wrists with.... ugh.... haste

atomic flame
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

rich temple
#

yeah, they sim higher than 890 bracers of impossible choices though

atomic flame
#

that's what I have at 905

#

I want better statted wrists

rich temple
#

yeah i'm with ya, gonna have to check dungeon loot tables and try to farm it i guess

atomic flame
#

DHT drops mastery > crit

#

that is the best

rich temple
#

beauty, will be on the look out for 10+ DHT i guess

sterile jolt
#

are your haste wrists the ones with super high mastery?

#

Swordsingers, thats what i'm using

#

have haste but very little compared to 3x mastery

atomic flame
#

What is the recommended number of iterations to sim at

viscid sonnet
#

default is fine, but if a comparison is really close ill rerun it with 50k

#

Can anyone tell me how to run multiple sims in one go?

viscid sonnet
#

append copy=Whateveryouwannacallit

to the end

#

and add the liens that differ below that

I noticed running different specific poisons in apply_poison with copy results in no change, can any1 confirm? (like [...]deadly=wound)

Opener with Subterfuge, Mantle and 52 traits - 11/04/17 SimC Nightly APL Sample Sequence:
Garrote -> Mutilate -> Rupture -> Vendetta -> Kingsbane -> Mutilate -> Envenom -> Vanish -> Mutilate -> Envenom -> Mutilate -> Envenom -> Mutilate -> Envenom.

It seems a little odd to Kingsbane then Mutilate after Vendetta before even getting Envenom or SoT up. Anyone have thoughts on this or the rest of the above?

#

I guess just starting the Kingsbane cooldown rather than waiting to Mutilate -> Vendetta -> Envenom -> Kingsbane is preferable.

gleaming raft
#

!simc

#

sorry

pure condor
#

@lunar trout i think thats the same thing that i asked aethys yesterday

#

there are probably some energy shenanigans in apl going on

#

in that specific sample sequence you were probably at below 90 energy before the 4th cast

#

so that vendettas "energy deficit > 60 + 20 (bleed regen)" trigger gets popped

#

yesterday i had the same sample sequence you posted when i had ~89,5 energy before the 4th cast

#

and after rerunning the sim with same options i got a different sample sequence with mut being cast as 4th cast with 90+ energy before that cast

rich temple
#

that seems odd, no garrote after vanish either?

vagrant halo
#

my 43 trait i pick MA , what shall i go for 44 , toxic blade or gushing wound ? i have 4 piece set bonus and shoulder and boots, running 2 MA and 1 envenom damage relics

pure condor
#

sim it

sullen dagger
#

i have a similar set up miji

#

and toxic blade sims higher for me than both rupture traits combined

gleaming raft
#

I see the same problema, no refresh garrote after vanish

#

On the opener rotation with mantle

vagrant halo
#

thanks seraphiel, so toxic blade i should pick next yeah?

sullen dagger
#

you should probably sim yourself to be sure

#

i was just telling you what my results were

vagrant halo
#

i am bad at running sims so i'd just trust u cos stjern is also picked toxic blade as his 44th

#

how much higher u simed ?

vers > crit is normal with shoulders

tawny cradle
#

guys this sim on the roguedpsguide site is saying insignia gives more dps than shoulders?

robust marten
#

doesnt see anything about legos thoere

#

and im certain those sims are outdated

#

using a 7.1.5 build of simc

tawny cradle
#

Probably

#

check the 'main' tab

#

last update: Jan 17 2017

#

pretty outdated

tawny cradle
#

Yea didnt see it

hasty raft
#

anyone simming less than usual for no apparent reason?

rich temple
#

@hasty raft i'm simming the same, did you switch builds recently?

#

also, what spec?

atomic flame
#

Are you simming with alacrity too ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

My pal was importing me the other day fro armory, saying we simmed the same without realising my armory had alacrity lol

hasty raft
#

same gear same build

#

yesterday 729k, right now 670k

#

seems legit

#

for some reason my kingsbane's dmg sims low AF

#

idk

#

compared to yesterday

ashen crater
#

Same settings?

hasty raft
#

yeah all same

#

kingsbane sims for 4.9% of my overall dmg kappa

viscid sonnet
#

uh

#

something is off with ur profile then

#

im simming 10%~ kb damage with the latest 11/4 build

hasty raft
#

yeah seems more like it

#

what should I do? reinstall etc?

viscid sonnet
#

it seems more like what youre importing is incorrect

hasty raft
#

no idea. on my outlaw gear/spec I sim as I used to

#

on assa though, it's 50kish below yesterday's results

#

anyway thanks for trying, i ll see tomorrow. gn

guys, do I have to add something on SimC to simluate wearing Ring of Collapsing Futures?

It simmed fine for me but that was quite some time ago

atomic flame
#

@sterile jolt Been trying out your opener

#

and even though it is less opener damage

#

It is more damage over the fight

#

CD line up is just way more streamlined doing it

#

Tested it in a normal pug today

#

and my gul'dan kill popped off

#

Most of my kills did

#

The kingsbane/vendetta lineup was absurd

sterile jolt
#

Whats sorta vendetta reduction you running with?

atomic flame
#

2ma 4/4

#

cof boots

sterile jolt
#

hmm I should pay more attention to the lining up of everything, generally popping everything off CD

atomic flame
#

I was very efficient with my energy usage also

sterile jolt
#

Admittedly, been a bit lazy since 7.2, hunting for a new guild, so new teams etc.

atomic flame
#

gul'dan

sterile jolt
#

guessing you were using feint or something during intermission phases for vend reduction?

atomic flame
#

Nope

#

FOr gul'dan I used

#

Crimson Vial

#

as I make sure I'm energy starved before phasing

#

then I can crimson vial to top myself AND not energy cap

#

and when RP is done

#

I can burst

#

p1 burst is really good too

sterile jolt
#

nods its a good opener.

atomic flame
#

You can just go look through the logs yourself anyway

atomic flame
#

Krosus big mess

#

It all depends on boss uptime

#

Like bridge breaks ruin your linings

sterile jolt
#

but yeah, your guldan one was perfectly aligned

#

Did you hold at all to keep em insync?

atomic flame
#

I held kingsbane specifically to refresh rupture

#

and pool slightly so I could envenom right after the kingsbane

#

spellblade

#

because of how the fight works with fok and energy usage

#

stuff comes off cd at basically the same time

sterile jolt
#

i dunno, kinda looks like you're holding KB

novel lava
#

check out how the other rogue opens on guldan if you want to see something spicy btw

sterile jolt
#

what other rogue?

novel lava
#

in the logs that were linked

#

Kathe

sterile jolt
#

Only one rogue in those logs?

atomic flame
#

kathe wasn't in gul'dan

split narwhal
#

he isnt in the gul'dan kill

atomic flame
#

Like I said, I was holding kb to maximise envenom uptime so I wouldn't have to refresh rupture during kingsbane

#

which is what you should be doing imo

novel lava
#

warcraftlogs on your phone is confusing, wtf was I looking at ๐Ÿ˜€

sterile jolt
#

Probs krosus ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

Yeah, I do like the idea of lining up, especially to have that nice pot of energy for KB, but its really hard to justify holding of such a short CD for more than 3-4s

atomic flame
#

Because it works out to more damage overall on kingsbane

#

You lose out on cdr, but you get more out of it

sterile jolt
#

But I'll keep it in mind, I only just got boots so I never got into the habit of lining up my CDs outside of vendetta/vanish

novel lava
#

it was skorp apparently

sterile jolt
#

I think in a fight that goes for 5 mins, you'd miss out on a full KB.

atomic flame
#

You would. but your kingsbane would do less on average

#

more =/= better

#

For example, my kingsbane averaged 4M

#

if I do 8 in a fight, and average that, that is 32M damage

sterile jolt
#

Hmm tricky to test without just mathsing it out imo. Or running a sim.

atomic flame
#

if I do 9, but average 3M damage, that's 27M damage

sterile jolt
#

Like, I understand what you're saying, but its conjecture without maths.

atomic flame
#

see what I mean?

#

When I was using kingsbane as soon as it came off cd, it was averaging 3M dps

#

3M damage, sorry

#

Now filling the other criteria, it averages 4M

novel lava
#

can't you just pool as kingsbane is coming off cd, and be properly prepared for it with a long duration rupture, so you have energy and you don't have to sit on it?

atomic flame
#

The issue with that is that rupture may be coming off cd

#

you're talking planning 15s in advance

#

which just sometimes isn't possible

novel lava
#

on patchwerk it's always possible

atomic flame
#

patchwerk fights in NH?

#

star augur, and that's it as a rogue

#

Unless you're talking about hc

#

where every fight is patchwerk for a rogue lol

novel lava
#

The more you become familiar with a fight the more it resembles patchwerk for a rogue

#

You can refresh rupture at 10-11 seconds left

#

It isn't the end of the world

atomic flame
#

lol

sterile jolt
#

10-11 seconds would be a dps loss

novel lava
#

And is better than sitting on kingsbane

sterile jolt
#

A pretty significant one

atomic flame
#

10-11 seconds is a huge dps loss

#

you ALWAYS refresh at <6s

#

preferably 5.9s ofc

sterile jolt
#

Anyway, this isn't underbelly.

split narwhal
#

Well it depends because your first KB is inflated by mantle, While not all KB buffs are

atomic flame
#

Is it ๐Ÿค”

novel lava
#

you "lose" 2 rupture ticks but could gain another kb usage during the fight

split narwhal
#

Well it should be ๐Ÿค”

atomic flame
#

first 5s of it aren't in envenom buff; it works out to less because of that

#

anyway

novel lava
#

this discussion is better than random feelycraft about kingsbane damage to be fair

sterile jolt
#

Admittedly, i'm still playing like shit imo since 7.2, but I think that spell blade was mostly just everything on CD

#

Admittedly, my rogue is only 903 vs 911, but i'm suprised the KB damage difference is so much.

#

You did well timing your 2nd vanish with the end of KB though, good micro management.

atomic flame
#

I explained how I was using Kingsbane :P

#

Like I said, more damage overall with less uses is way better

#

You want to use Kingsbane ASAP, that is true

sterile jolt
#

This is on a 3 minute fight, lets not get ahead of ourselves.

#

In 3:15, I managed almost a full KB more than you. So obviously that difference grows as the fight goes on.

#

Consider that you'll still get partial overlap on most KBs whether you line up or not.

atomic flame
#

Average cast: 2.34

#

Average cast:3.67

sterile jolt
#

Keep in mind ilvl there, bit hard to compare like for like.

atomic flame
#

Yo compare, you'd need to do 1.5x as many Kingsbanes

#

To do the same damage

sterile jolt
#

Again, 903 ilvl vs 911

atomic flame
#

So if I do 8, you'd need to do 12

#

A 700 agi difference

#

You have more mastery slightly, but less Crit and vers

sterile jolt
#

The only thing I'd change I think is lining up my 2nd vanish on the end of KB, we had 18% difference on crit chance there.

atomic flame
#

Yep, that's just playing smart though :P

you line them up if you have 3 MA and cof

also no golden trait

when you get your trait you cant do it anymore

Good morning everybody i have yet to have a professional answer to my question for some reason. With legendary shoulders for asssa with the talent subterfuge, after using vanish in our opener with vendetta when do we use our vanish in our roatation do we only use it with vendetta to get as much crits as we can with vendetta or do we just use it on cooldown for crits and maybe bonous damage on garrote

lunar trout

Bug: The default APL is still generating a line in CD's for my Nitro Boosts engineering belt "enchant" as below:

open an issue on github so I won't forget to prevent it

next time I'll look at

proud locust
#

@split sorrel can you please help me with my question after our opener as assa with legendary shoulders after already using vanish and vendetta when do i use vanish in my rotation again do i always line it up with my vendetta again no matter what unless the boss is about to die or do i just vanish on cooldown to spam crits without vendetta?

split sorrel
#

vendetta on cd basically

#

just check energy

#

delay vanish for next vendetta

#

delay vanish for < 30% if you can get only 1 and got bracers aswell

#

Hi ! I'm looking to test how i should reroll with loaded dice. I suppose i have to override rtb but i have no idea how i can do that. Any advice ?

split sorrel
#

?

#

loaded dice doesn't change buffs value

#

just the odds to get more

#

so rules are the same

blazing flame
#

Yeah so it may be worth to reroll a 20sc TB to try get a better buff right ?

#

Like TB+CP

split sorrel
#

no

blazing flame
#

Why ?

split sorrel
#

because we are in world of true bearing

#

and if you don't get it

#

you'll have to roll again

#

it's ok, AR is 25s cd

#

with CoF and TB

blazing flame
#

Ok maybe wrong example but. Just a shit 3+... i mean... RTB doesn't have the same average outcome if you have loaded dice active, so how to reroll should be different

split sorrel
#

could be a little gain to use it before it expires when you got 3+/6+ yes

vale charm
#

With loaded dice, you can still get more than 2 or is restricted to 2?

blazing flame
#

Basically loaded is "auto reroll until 2+"

#

So yeah, you have a chance to get 6+, and the probability is around the double

vale charm
#

But, I would think you would reroll the bad 3 buff if you have like less than 30 seconds? I dunno, probably would have to sim it or actually do the math.

blazing flame
#

Yeah i think so

civic cradle
#

I wonder what the new rerolling rules will become with 0.5 passive CDR and TB down to 1 second

light sail
#

so 7.2 with shoulders & boots on sin do I want frond or DoS?

civic cradle
#

you want a banana

gusty lynx
#

Do I pool energy for KB and Pool CPs for Vendeta?

noble pier
#

@light sail you want DoS

runic hinge
#

@light sail when your doing 4 mil burst its clear DoS is the tits as sin

#

Anyway to have simcraft switch to a opener code you write to test them out in a controlled environment?

civic cradle
#

get a small cage with some hamsters and give them miniature daggers

#

dos is not better than frond

Are the sims for relics on the current nightly accurate? I'm considering swapping 875/870/865 MA's to 875 MA/910 shadow walker/885 GW because the sim has it simming higher; but everything I've been told is not to swap the 3 MA's. No boots, using CoF

Addtionally (again, may be the wrong time): I'm interested in modifying how the latest build uses the legendary cloak.

@split sorrel Hey, was checking out the rotation addon out of curiosity, it uses the simc apl so I'll post this here. Multiple instances the apl prefers to saberslash at 5 out of 6 CP, to gain a 6th before using a finisher. is this a dps gain even when it overcaps cp with the ss double hits?

but I didn't spend much time on that recently

I have two question why there is a big difference between shadowcraft and simcraft like 190k DPS it's huge ? and about talent i read some gdoc etc and even shadowcraft want me to take weaponmaster and vigor, but actualy all parse on WOL are with Master sub and anticipation, so can you help me ?

Thanks

regal agate
#

thats the wrong channel and simcraft is more accurat for evaluation. vigor is nice to learn the spec but DS or anticipation will lead to a stronger output

maiden cargo
#

so shadowcraft need to be upload ?

regal agate
#

it has a difrent purpose then simc

#

every tool has its pros/cons, having more tools is nice ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

however probably more confusing to somone who dont know how to use them right

vivid lagoon
#

can i take a look on the opener in simcraft?

#

like is it written somewhjere

regal agate
#

you can run a simulation and open up the action priority tab in the report.
the "sample sequence table" is what you look for

#

Yo, does the Simcraft Addon on curse still work for gear strings despite not being updated in forever

#

or, can shadowcraft make gear strings?

stark sentinel
#

it has been updated 2 days ago

regal agate
#

simc addon got updated recently also simbuilder works fine (and is up to date) ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

arctic lily
#

hmm never seen simbuilder mentioned, i'll grab SimC addon. Thanks

arctic lily
#

So, I've seen a few things noted from various sources. With the new KB gold on Assassin, is CoF not so highly valued at this point?

#

Frond/DoS with Mantle and Duskwalkers is simming higher than a CoF

#

I've also seen things like dropping a Rupture relic in since the 7th MA point does almost nothing,

#

than a CoF/DoS*

sullen dagger
#

anyone having issues with the latest nightly build? it keeps crashing while i'm simming

gusty lynx
#

Hi where do I get dusty pockets as assassination

safe aspen
#

probably not in sim channel

maiden cargo
#

What is the lego ring like for assasin?

ember nebula
#

is it worth going for 7 ranks of MA i just got a good blood relic off helya and can replace rupture damage to get 7 MA ranks

arctic lily
#

Am I missing something? Is there a reason my Sub is simming at 950k and Assassination is simming at 860k? Patchwerk

#

Could it be the way Frond works in SimC?

safe aspen
#

frond works like ingame in simc

eager badge
#

currently simming using new nightlys 720.02. I am very surprised: overall dps is minus 13,6% vs. 720.01 and value of Mastery dropped significantly. hard to believe tbh. Can anyone confirm tendency plz?

late willow
#

@eager badge Just downloaded the newest nightly and I sim about the same as the release version (890k vs 894k) and my stat weights are the same.

keen lion
#

why is subterfuge simming higher than nightstalker w/o shoulders ?

civic cradle
#

because it still does more damage

#

just hardly

wind lotus
#

it pulls ahead tho when you can cleave (sin)

iron obsidian
#

APL uses Kingsbane as opener, and crits it every time as if I have Mantle but I don't. Weird bug

#

Nirty its in the faq how to sim relics

solid pine
#

Hmm, I knew haste is bad for Sub but this is rather extreme: ( Pawn: v1: "Launja Sub": Class=Rogue, Spec=Subtlety, Agility=20.57, CritRating=14.52, HasteRating=3.49, MasteryRating=18.11, Versatility=15.18 )

pure condor
#

how do i apply the deadly poison in a sim if im talented into ap ?

#

actions.precombat+=/apply_poison,lethal=deadly doesnt work it ifs the only thing besides the copy paste from simc addon

split sorrel
#

you need full apl

#

ur thing does append this

#

it doesn't replace anything

pure condor
#

so there is no way to keep default apl and just change one line? without copy pasting a generated apl for 1 specific gearset?

ashen crater
#

You could try taking no talent in the tier with agonizing poison.

late willow
#

just import from armory

split sorrel
#

use template var @pure condor or make an action list

#

= override, +=/ appends

dense pike
#

@split sorrel Been using the aethys rotation add on for rogue, noticed it has an option for druid but doesn't work with feral. Any insight?

pure condor
#

i mean when i copy paste the stuff from simc addon and just add

#

actions.precombat=apply_poison,lethal=deadly

split sorrel
#

Use SimCMinMax Discord for that, Boomking is being worked on, Feral needs something from the Core that I didn't did yet. (pmultiplier from simc, Assa needs it aswell)

pure condor
#

it still doesnt use deadly

split sorrel
#

tbh

#

use the whole APL

viscid summit
#

so can anyone explain me why i sim 950k as alacrity st and 900k as AP

#

makes no sence for me, shouldnt AP be the best?

pure condor
#

when im running a sim with ap but using deadly haste has a stat weight of -2.15 ?

#

and when i use alac it has 13.93

modest ravine
#

is there a new outlaw opener that is coded into the apl with the new gold trait?

vocal bane
#

not from what I've seen, it just lies as a backup if you already have a good roll

split sorrel
#

if you have suggestion, feel free to contribute

dark obsidian
#

aethys are relic sims trustworthy? As in if I sim higher with env relic than with Ma should i go for my env relic?

split sorrel
#

why not ?

#

env relic are good due to T19 4PC

dark obsidian
#

Also I dont understand how subt sims higher than NS if it only ever buffs the garrote in the vanish window in the opener

#

yea I figured it would work, just every1 seems to say MA relics

split sorrel
#

doesn't only in opener

#

๐Ÿ˜‰

#

in average, it tries to got it for all vanishes

dark obsidian
#

it doesnt do it tho

#

it randomly does it half the time for some reason

#

like at the 4min vanish it does it

#

but it doesnt do it at the vanish in opener or vanish at 2min

#

Basically what im trying to figure out is I'm supposed to do a vanish buffed garrote everytime i vanish

split sorrel
#

check the garrote condition

#

and you'll understand

#

garrote does have a cd

#

that's why

modest ravine
#

@vocal bane i was thinking about the pros and cons. do you maximize the CotDB uptime or get faster combo points to roll for that 2 buff. my initial thought was CotDB uptime so the opener becomes MfD>rtb>ambush>ghostly stike>SS>AR> roll if just 1 buff>CotDB as opposed to popping AR+CotDB>rtb

dark obsidian
#

Ok that makes sense, so basically if I can reapply a garrote that is lower than 10sec with vanish buff on it I should do it

vocal bane
#

@modest ravine yeah, I'd build up CPs for a second roll and then use curse

modest ravine
#

that was my thought. just wondering how the apl had it

vocal bane
#

although I pop curse earlier and roll after a hit or two to try and maximize the effect of my cinidaria

#

if I'm fishing for a bit it tends to waste a leggo

pure condor
#

either you reroll or you dont. there is no "only reroll two times at most"

#

sunk cost and stuff

vocal bane
#

although getting a 6-roll first try smoothes out consistency 3 minutes ahead of time

#

kinda funny imo

modest ravine
#

its just the difference of rerolling inside or outside of CotDB. either you delay your burst cd or lose a global and the 10% extra damage with it

ember ferry
#

Quick question, I Sim at 700k+ outlaw with shoulders and bracers. If I get decent rolls with minimal rerolls I do close to that. However I think I may be using PS too much. Right now if I get TB I use BtE every time it's off cd, spending the PS proc, regaurdless of BB or not. My thought is if TB + SitW is up then the crit chance is goood enough for BtE spam. Otherwise wait for the BB proc and RT like normal? Thoughts?

Does frond still sim more than it should?

robust marten
#

its fixed

#

simming correctly

#

no1 bothers to fix the website sim screenies

Saw some talk about sims for wound poison vs deadly poison ๐Ÿค”

How do I force simc to WP over DP

frond was only simming incorrectly in the first week of NH, it has been fine since then

What's the difference between sim 720-02 and 720-01 ?

robust marten
#

important stuff

#

so just get it

the 720-02 ?

cobalt oxide
#

Hey guys, with leg shoulders is subterfuge still considered better than nightstalker even after the nerf

#

For assasination

robust marten
#

subter>NS with shoulder im sure

#

w/o shoulders subter is technically simming better cause with the new traits the ammount of damage you get from ur empowered subter is pretty reliable unlike rng dmg with empowered ruptre and BoTA procs

pulsar canyon
#

What does subter has to do with shoulders after the fix ? @robust marten

jovial veldt
#

anyone have ptr sims /. parse yet from ptr?

bright gorge
#

So with the kings and golden trait, is there any reason to have 3 vendetta artifacts?

#

And no NS is better for single target now, sub no longer extends the shoulder crit time

rich temple
#

@bright gorge they generally sim very close, i sim higher with subterfuge still for example

bright gorge
#

Oh really? I figured since they hotfoxed it no

#

Oh well I hate subterfuge for ST feels weird just spamming garrote for 3 second

rich temple
#

oh... no you don't spam it for 3 sec bro

#

you just need to apply it within 3seconds of breaking stealth

bright gorge
#

Guess that's stupidity on my part for not adding mutilate to stealth bar lol

rich temple
#

aha.. yeah man that's rough

#

especially since you're wasting half the shoulder buff that way... rip

bright gorge
#

Lol, #nightstalker problems

rich temple
#

i find subterfuge way easier, glad it sims higher

#

plus, multiple garrotes if 2+ targets available

bright gorge
#

I'll have to try that out then! Would be nice not worrying about overlapping points for 5cp rupture

rich temple
#

sim it yourself to see but

#

if you like the playstyle it'll probably be close enough to just use it anyway

#

pulls ahead on multi target anyway (as i mentioned) and is nice in dungeons for multi-garroting trash

Hey all I'm 875 assassin wondering when agonising poison takes over alacrity. I've simmed myself with both and alacrity has come out around 4k ahead. I've got leg shoulders and maxed weapon. Thanks heaps

viscid sonnet
#

@wraith obsidian its hard to say exactly, but more mastery will generally benefit agonizing

#

what are you at? and also which simcraft version are you using?

wraith obsidian
#

@viscid sonnet hey cheers for the reply. I'll just keep simming as I gear up.

viscid sonnet
#

if youre using the latest nightly builds (or probably even the slightly older release version) it should be question of mastery

#

but older versions than that will cause weird behaviors

wraith obsidian
#

I'll have a look at my version when I get back to my computer. I haven't updated it since nighthold came out so it's probably out

viscid sonnet
#

then its definitely borked, update and re-sim ๐Ÿ˜Œ

wraith obsidian
#

Haha cheers man

modest ravine
#

is it confirmed that the rtb trait shifts the all of the probabilities down by removing the 1 buff roll chance? in my small sample size im getting about 15-20% 3 buff rolls instead of just 2 with AR up

normal slate
#

So, i got a question.
Last week i got a 900 ilvl version of Pharamere's Forbidden Grimoire(the trinket from Krosus that fires an Orb of Destruction from 10 yards range that detonates for ~600k damage after 4 sec and has a 1 min cd). How does SimC simulate an item like this on a melee dps? I ask this because its amazing for cleave fights as subt when you have the shoulders. Its cd lines up perfectly with your sprint cooldown (you cant attack during 3 seconds of sprint anyway so you can make 10 yards distance to cast it) so it will always have 100% crit chance when used. I assume something like this is not in the APL? if not, would anyone have the time to make one or teach me to make it myself? I kinda want to sim this trinket vs other trinkets in cleave situations.

#

Pretty sure nobody even considered using this trinket as a rogue?

random veldt
#

that's because it's not a good trinket ๐Ÿค”

normal slate
#

it crits for 1.2 mil per target hit every minute.

#

single target it will suck yes, but on 3+ its a lot better

modest ravine
#

i have a question. how do you sim gear you dont have equipped. example being relics. where do you get the string for the sim to run a relic without inserting it?

heavy moon
#

@modest ravine you can look on wowhead for it

modest ravine
#

ok. i tried that for my 855 relic but it doesn't have one for that ilvl. i can use the 850 one though. thanks

tropic plinth
#

is there a way to use the simc addon to quickly get the simc string for a relic that is in my bag?

oak jay
#

There's a guide on how to find the string for relics

#

You have to find the IDs on wowhead

hallow hazel
#

in the same vein, I just simmed myself replacing the ID of my last 875 MA relic with a 900 mutilate relic and it showed a 8k dps increase over the MA. I have no boots. Trust the SIM?

#

@oak jay i was just going to message you lol

normal slate
#

Is there not anyone who can help me with my question? (scroll a bit up)

#

@split sorrel simgod? ๐Ÿ˜›

sterile gale
#

that trinket?

#

I can help you without simming it

#

it trash

normal slate
#

The feelcraft is strong in this one.

proud locust
#

hello guys i have a question how do we compare different relics on simcraft

#

how do we get the id number of relics without actually putting it in our weapon

sterile gale
#

you can get IDs from wowhead

proud locust
#

i thought that was just for artifact traits

#

how would i get the id number of a relic wihtout all the triats cause i see relics and artifact weapon traits have different id numbers

rich temple
#

you'd have to go to the wowhead page and select the spec/ilvl for the relic

#

site hosts SimC, just flip it to nightly build in the advanced options on the relic page, and make sure you're comparing in the correct relic slot(s)

toxic flower
#

I just got 905 Memento out of my cache. I currently have 895 Convergence and 890 Frond+Socket. I know the Frond is simming high by mistake, but what do you guys think is better?

rich temple
#

Frond isn't really oversimming, it's just got high variance

toxic flower
#

I see, I see. I simmed the 3 trinkets and it looks like Frond/CoF are stil better than Memento.

rich temple
#

I'd suggest checking your sims to see what % contribution you're seeing from frond

toxic flower
#

I already closed them out unfortunately. But what difference would that make?

rich temple
#

It should be slightly above what you'll tend to see most often on a boss fight, for example I simmed at 4.5% but usually get ~3% on a given fight (may not be currently valid)

#

Just to show that it might seem to oversim cause 4.5>3, but once in a while it'll spike much higher, hence the avg from sim being higher

toxic flower
#

I've gotta run, but I'd love to ask you more about this maybe later tonight. I added you

rich temple
#

Okay feel free to PM me, but I'm not any kind of expert, I'll try to direct you where to ask whatever I might not know though

atomic flame
#

there is no feelcraft on that trinket

#

it is a terrible trinket for rogue

#

it has flat haste

#

it can only be used once a minute for very minimal damage
