@rich temple frond is crazy one fight 0% dmg next pull 18% was so dumb
i don't think i've ever had a 0% for a fight >3min but, i mean it could happen
@atomic flame what trinket are you talking about?
The pharamere's grimoire that some dude was talking about earlier
ohhh okay, I was really confused lol
Is a trinket doing 1.3 mil damage per target hit so bad? In M+ you can often hit 6+ targets with it. No stat stick would beat that. Therefore i want to sim it and i asked for help.
theres also the part where melee classes cant use pharameres
They have to be at range to use it
As subt its no problem. You use it when you sprint away for flickering shadows
It's like I want fury of the burning sky as sin
Sprint has the same cd, using it doesnt even break stealth.
But no one will make an apl for it
Because there is just better trinkets
It's not even a consideration to be made into/included into any apl
Wish i had Digit. But i dont have any aoe trinkets. CoF is absolute shit on trash in M+
Thanks for the advice anyway. Ill keep using this trinket on trash and enjoy its huge damage spikes.
what are the stat sticks named in the trinket sim list?
Weird question -- I'm hoping I'm not asking a dumb one too -- my simc has me dealing between 50k and 100k more DPS than I do in sustained fights in Nighthold right now. My rotations are fairly tight and I'm using all of the buffs it's factoring in...am I doing something wrong, or is simc telling me a perfect DPS picture, or?
is DoS still siming higher than NF?
@full bone patchwerk assumes 0 movement, that alone accounts for some of the discrepancy
Gotcha, thank you.
I'm happy with where my DPS is but was wondering where the extra deeps was coming in. I know I need to tighten up my rotation as it is.
there's also the fact that simC executes everything exactly as the APL dictates, people make mistakes
So happy.. I prefer to play subt, and finally got the legendary boots!! How many points in energetic stabbing should I leave though?
I see in logs most ppl have 5/7
Ah sorry, wrong channel
Don't take your sim as the be all, end all
It assumes literal zero movement
and doing what rogues do best; just stab boss
Could somebody give me the cliffnotes on Run Through vs Between the Eyes for outlaw?
The way I'm reading the guides around here is that Run Through is the only finisher we should use because of the nighthold set RN, but apparently the wrist is top 2 legendaries, and I just don't know when I should use BTE then
use it whenever it's off CD to activate the wrist buff?
how can i use the .dmg data for simulationcraft? ( the nightly). Is there an Import Option i havent seen yet?
not sure if this better here or general. For Sub does WM proc off insignia of ravenholdt? Everything I've seen says take MoS, but WM sims nearly 40k higher.
Anyone else simming OL legendary boots as being better single target than the bracers if you have the shoulders and are talented into ghostly strike/hit and run? I get better results with the boots on Patchwerk, Light Movement, Heavy Movement, the only time the bracers outperform the boots significantly is on Beastlord but only on the main target, on overall dps the boots are higher but then again on beastlord ring sims higher overall than both.
@raw knoll latest nightly?
@viscid sonnet 4/17 was the date on the build. Hadn't checked this morning.
is it true that you open with kingsbane? i got the latest nightly and in the action priority list kb is the first action. i dont think thats right
I imported via Battlenet
im not sure but you want to use kingsbane as early as possible
and if you play with subterfuge it doesnt matter what you hit with first
but usually the sample sequences are correct
Aethys I got a draught 910 and cof 895. Is it worth switching out for a frond 890? Either of them? If not, what ilvl should my frond be to swap out my other trinkets? @split sorrel
sim it ?
Alright π¦
@split sorrel can you ask someone to update the trinket guide? just the part that is saying that frond is oversimming, every day I see ppl asking about frond quoting that phrase, thx π
idk who do that
so ive got a question, just got heriod draught of souls, and ive been curious when is the best time in a fight to use it
On cooldown during the fight when AP is stacked
thank you so much
sorry was unsure where to ask the question.
Also, make sure you have surge of toxins up before you use DoS as well!
anyone getting sims / parse from ptr yet on wub / outlaw?
does the default apl for nightstalker do vanish Then Envenom? or do i need to edit it in the program and if so how do i do it?
reading some conflicting reports on new ap trait paths. should serrated edge or toxic blades be taken after gushing wounds? i have 4 piece if that matters
env damage > rupture damage (if you have 4p and/or shoulders)
if you already have gw go for toxic blades
ty!
Are wrists and shoulder legendaries viable enough to go sub
yes
but are wrists better then the belt
Anybody got a sun for outlaw rogue... only see was and sub now π
is there a addon that lets me copy the item id so i can just paste into simc. i know pawn shows them but theres now way to copypasta them
does the latest nightly build include 4% outlaw buff?
Yes
@robust marten search the item on wowhead, set it to the correct item level, then click "Links" and copy and paste the simcraft string
uh you sure it has the 4% buff? The commit shows it was added on the 18th the last nightly build is on the 17th except for the mac version.
Yea that's why I'm doing right now just thought I'd ask if anybody knows if an addon that lets u copy the item id from in game
Point is to not have to equip them so I can trade em if they turn out to not be an upgrade. Nvm.
Oh, well then I just go with the "who cares it's mine now" attitude
Especially if gained from a raid, since Loot Council is a thing
is there a point where u stop feeding mastery? i get almost same results with extreme high mastery-less agi vs more agi - less mastery. the diff between builds is like 1-2k. assa rogue.
No
need to get high guarm trinket to test double mastery trinkets. would be fun
Does the new build reflect oulaw buffs
Does anyone know the best two legendary's if you run SND build. I'm assuming shoulders but without TB how good are bracers? Would Ring be 2nd BiS?
What's the best type of fight to sim in simcraft for sin? Should I juse use Patchwerk for my baseline, or would something like heavy cleave or heavy movement give me more accuracy?
always patchwerk for more accuracy
What channel would i link my sims at to find out why im doing so bad?
How does this fish for true bearing # Fish for '3 Buffs' or 'True Bearing'. With SnD, consider that we never have to reroll. actions=variable,name=rtb_reroll,value=!talent.slice_and_dice.enabled&(rtb_buffs<=2&!rtb_list.any.6)
from memory, rtb_list.any.6 refers to true bearing
Hmm thats what it would have to be but thats a terrible identifier for it lol
I'm not crash hot on the syntax for the collection object its using, but essentially its just an index in a list
exactly. rtb is just a list, and "all" just means that the buffs initiated to the number next to it has to be up.
with 6 being true bearing
!clear @earnest palm
@split sorrel is there wound poison support in simc now? since people are memeing out with it in farm raids
of course
already proven it's not worth π
not working on poison knives
and you would need like 15k mastery to be worth in st
except maybe with bracers
on a long sub 30% phase
alright, i see
how can i properly simulate bota mythic to decide between bracer/boots. is it patchwerk 3 targets?
mythic bota is a pure ST fight
@split sorrel Hey man, do u know why simc doesnΒ΄t refresh garrote during vanish on opener with mantle?
cuz it's not worth in most case
But u will lose some time of buffed garrote
and ?
ok
which is better single target, insignia or cinidarias? talking about sin here
does anyone has updated sim for Relics for subtlety ?
type !relic in any other channel (general or underbelly)
is that list updated?
yes
ok thankyou π
Can you get the nightly to be rebuilt. It hasnt been updated since monday before the buff to outlaw.
the nightly is updated for me, with the buff to outlaw im pretty sure.
The last nightly was 2017-04-17 15:40 on the website and the commited changed for outlaw were on the 18th
for PC
If you built it from github then its definitely updated but Ive just been getting the zip file from the website
Oh duh, haha. I do have a mac, I haven't slept
lol
that's odd though, usually mac is updated way later
Wrong channel
@maiden cargo #228878985210101760
i know @ionic eagle but you geht 30% benefit from bracer 3times thats why i ask
get*
yes, but the boss has technically 3x the hp and 3x as much time above 30%
so it stays the same
no, its less than 3x 30%, because she stops at 10% 2 times
Is there a somewhat "advanced" guide section? I have been playing my rogue for 2 months now, and I wonder some things, like, should I refresh rupture when I have Kingsbane up, and miss on that envenom buff, when to delay vanish if unbuffed rupture has 15 seconds going and when to pool energy...
ive been simming 3x ma's , 1 ma & 2x gw and 1 ma 2x envenom. the damage of each combination of only 1 ma is significantly higher than 3x ma
can we trust those sims or is there something wrong about ma like it was with cof ?
@odd sedge no, but i really mean some in depth info
@finite thunder this is about bota mythic, not elisande
-_- the simc nightly osx build keeps getting updated lol and the other versions arent
Unfortunate that the guy who simmed all the relics didnt add the effect of Mantle on all the weights :(
@late willow - you can compile yourself if you're interested in the latest.
Anyone good with logs?
does anyone know if the latest sim build reflects 4% buff to outlaw hotfix this week
Hi. Where can I report a bug in simcraft?
The Master Assassin's Initiative buff after using Vanish lasts about 6.8s ingame (after breaking vanish with an ability), in simcraft the duration is only 6s as far as i can tell.
For example, I can use the following opener ingame:
... Vanish > Envenom > Mutilate > Garrote > DoS > Envenom
In simcraft the last Envenom is used without the Shoulder buff.
Hi all,
a question at the more knowledgeable guys here: Do you know if simcraft uses the passiv of the leggo back Dreadlord's? Because it sims worse for me than Valeeras Will.
It used to, back when I used cloak (which is a while ago). Sim once without and check Shuriken/Fan of knives dmg
Also check for the buff
@glossy garnet
Will do. Thanks
@glossy garnet it should fok once every time you get full stacks
will of valeera is pretty beefy since its a leg item (TONS of mainstat) and gained mastery as a third secondary in 7.2
@umbral crag it's because u vanish while ur gcd is ongoing
it's in my TODO list to do a vanish after an ability that proc the gcd
but it's a bit painful
hey guys can any1 help me with my macro. my opener is really weak compared to ohters with my ilvl. my ilvl is 904 eq with 140% mastery and 27% crit
ops worng copy
#showtooltip
/castsequence reset=15 Garrote, Envenom, Mutilate, Rupture, Mutilate, Kingsbane(Artifact), Vendetta, Mutilate, Vanish, Rupture,
rofl, people atually have a 1 button thing for the opener, are you silly, do it yourself, and #228878985210101760 please
why not, if you script it right you get perfect openers
what talents are u using on m+? AP or Alacrity
please go to general
that's wrong considering mutilate crits π
except during mantle buff
and what if you get out of range for one ability ?
π
with mantle the opener is always the same
i checked it multiple times and you pretty much have the same timings you see in your APL
yes
i think its more that "noob" mentality why some think sequence macros are bad.
as I said
"except during mantle buff"
issue with macro and when u're out of sync
let's take as example, M Gul'dan
what do u do ?
shadowstep and go?
oh you mean cause you may need to save cds for the add
its not like you are commited 100% to do the full sequence. you can stop anytime, include pauses for pooling or just continue with single inputs.
it depends a little bit how complex your sequence is obviusly, but the mantle opener is a very good candidate to use one
tbh, it's one of the reason I wrote an addon π
after all, the goal is the same
so you can plug simc power into an addon ingame
im impressed that it covers that many specs..first i thought it only is for rogues
I do rogues, contributor do others
π
I help if someone needs help, and sometime I double check rotation cuz I got some alts
Hey all. I just simmed myself for Outlaw in my 888 gear, and it told me that Agi >> Haste > Verse > Crit > Mastery... but I thought haste was supposed to be our worst secondary? Is that expected?
Single target fight.
Okay. π
Thanks!
I'm beginning to wonder if my SimC is broken. O.o It went from Haste > Vers > Crit > Mastery, to V>C>M>H, and now V>H>M>C.. This feels off
Oh! Could this just be from RTB rng in SimCraft?
you could also enable plotting
how do you find the IDs for the traits for simming the order for simcraft
What is a healthy minimum for iterations with Outlaw?
use target_error π
I have Target Error set to Auto in the Options->Globals page
oh
that greys out iterations
headdesk
No need to set it π
Are you familiar with what Target Error does? I'm curious to learn
Oh, okay, now that I've done a bit of examining of the reports, I see why. Haste/Crit/Mastery are so close in value with my gear that swapping out one ring completely flipped them around. Vers is the only one that consistently stands above.
That makes some sense now that I see all the plotting
And "completely flipped" doesn't mean a whole lot, because it just meant that some are now slightly behind others; but the real values are still close.
it sims until it reaches the given % error
it compare the highest actor sim vs the lowest
well, rather
on a given actor
it see the distribution
hmm
I guess the wiki will explain it better than me, mostly since french words arent really the same in english
Does Target Error work for DPS only? I'd like to target specific error on Stat Weights.
of course
Is there a breakpoint where agonizing overtakes deadly?
I know it's supposed to be better - but is there a common point for it?
Why do people keep insisting on magic numbers and limits. agonizing is better on ST period, the point was probably somewhere around ilvl 850 5 months ago or smth
No one's ever going to bother to calculate "The exact amount of agility and each secondary stat required for agonizing to overtake deadly" because it's pointless and nobody cares.
can some1 tell me how i can sim if the relic is worth taking ?
you can either go to wowhead and look up the id and bonusid of the relic (in the url) or use an addon (e.g. simbuilder) if you own the relic
i have GW and TB already. didnt know what to put my next point it so i decided to sim it. looking for some insight as to why 6% mut crit >10% rupture crit
this is on latest simc build
i have shoulders as well if that has anything to do with it.
propably because rupture and mutilate are pretty similar in damage overall with shoulders
and rupt crit gives increased damage only whereas mutilate also gives you more combopoints
but not sure, was the same for me though
also, poison knives>rupt crit and master alchemist
yeah ofc 2% mut crit > 3% rupt crit
Hello! I just got (windows) creator's update and I haven't been able to run simc since, no idea why. Tried reinstalling, rebooted several times. Anyone have this issue? Using latest nightly.
@errant tinsel didnt even think about the cp generation. thanks
@robust marten muti crit beat rupture DAMAGE for me even π
How do i sim different relics without putting them on
@merry nimbus its in the simc guide
ok im seeing a lot of different openers for sin with draught/mantle
i see some with early rupture and others with a couple more low CP envenoms, which is correct/what does it depend on?
hey guys I have a 885 relic that gives more energy in blade furry and a 870 relic that boost critical chance of pistol shots, which one should I take ? (I have the bracers leg and sephuz)
sim it
how ?
you can use an addon to sim relics without equiping (if you own them). simbuilder for example(you still need simcraft for the simulation the addon just provides the imput string).
if you dont have the relic you need to go to wowhead, search the relic, choose the right itemlvl and copy the id/bonusid to your imput string.
Or use raidbots.com - show input - copy to SimulationCraft.
Or just run the sim there alternatively.
do u guys got some kind of trinket dashboard spreadsheet?
Hey fellow rogues. Can any1 explain for me how you set Use trinket in simcraft? My nightfrond 875 is siming higher than my DoS 900
It's also because mutilate has two chances to crit
As long as you have the correct and current build, I'm not surprised. Frond better than DoS. Haste is doing nothing for you.
DoS+Shoulders tho, dem crits β€
I'd rather have frond. DoS better in the hands of the warriors in your raid.
is aethys' spreadsheet on mmoc that says "7.0" still updated regularly?
no
@split sorrel do we get to see a PTR version of your Addon? :)
yes π
so you'll be able to use it for raid test!
and it also let me to be sure to have a smooth release on 7.2.5 patch day π
like it was for 7.2 π
Mystler did some tweak to the current sub APL for the PTR version on SimC
all 3 rogues will have a live and ptr APL version during the whole PTR
the addon will have the same
I'm new here.. is there an updating 7.2 sim for latest change to exsanguinate?
for assa
what do you mean, the 7.2.5 change?
Do we have an idea what the new rolling rules for RtB will be?
The new broadsides looks a bit OP
If they'd just fix saber slash double-strike all the time bug so I can properly test out outlaw
hi everyone, trying to sim my rogue but my latest sims showed I couldnt hit 1m dps opener, yet im always pulling 1m+ openers. are there any specific options I should set?
over 100,000 iterations
@thin spire instant cast abilities do not interrupt your auto attacks, if that's what you're asking. So using your rupture/garrote/ whatever will not reset your "swing-timer", not for us rogues at least
@glossy bobcat this is late but maybe check and see if your scaling is set correctly in simc
So is Nightstalker better than subterfuge and simcraft is incorrect?
@cobalt junco i have no problems with sin abilities, just sub ones. I do less aa with
Sub
This thing affect trinkets tho, frond proc less times and so can't use it at full potential, same for the sub passive, i dunno if this happen while simming or not
Anyone else getting 0 DPS increase in sims with Dreadblade's Vigor trait?
Raidbots is 10x faster than my pc, but fixed fight length realy annoys me.
Do I need to believe my Sims, if they say that Arcanogolem Digit ilvl 915 is better than Nightblooming Frond 905 or Entwined Elemental Foci 905
is there a mastery softcap for assassination?
xD
that was just sarcastic, not even toxic
i have legboots and 2x MA with CoF, nightblooming sims 20k more dps than CoF tho (905vs890), should I ignore the sim on that one?
why not both
have got a 925 dos in the other slot
guys i just got feet legendary for sin i have zoldyck and mantle and 3 MA relics should i consider changing 1 MA relic now?
no, with boots vendeta relics become even better
if you have CoF as well, you can even align with KB (with golden trait)
aye, I found that bracers > boots without the MA relics
!guide
guys, how can I sim ptr results?
enable ptr in options
tomorrow nightly will have more stuff
especially for outlaw
ptr in options is a nice change π
it just crashes when I try to sim from ptr
wait next nightly then
sub that is
aight aight
but simming sub now is pointless, so much stuff that isnt implemented on ptr yet
π
I'm really curious to see how Outlaw ends up. The 4% increase on live was nice and so far the extra rerolling doesn't seem as frustrating on the PTR.
I just got the assassination bracers, does the default simcraft apl hold vendettas/use PP under 30%, or do i need a custom line
no
thanks!
Question: when you sim for cleave/adds - do you just change number of targets to 3? or do you change Fight style as well?
http://www.wowhead.com/item=144976/cruel-gladiators-badge-of-conquest#shared-cooldown:0-2
Got this one in 895 -
1969 Agi and 2777 vers for 20 sec (1 min cd)
Did try to sim it, but it was worse than my old trinket. When checking for buff I never saw it listed.
Is it possible that this does not sim correctly?
Otherwise it should be great from stat perspective ?
Buff is called Rapid Adaption
@maiden cargo Since its an on-use trinket, you need to adjust the APL to activate it
should i bind macro
/cast pistol shot
/attack
because when i PS when opportunity procs my toon stops attacking
where can we talk about 7.2.5?
im also wondering about 7.2.5
anywhere. Hey does anybody know if the "poison knives" trait increased AP damage only applies when using FoK. i thought it did but the trait is simming over GW and Serrated Edge for me
is it just a flat AP dmg increase or is it supposed to work like DP where if FoK hits a target with AP already will it increase AP's dmg bonus by 6%
im sure simc is just counting it as a flat increase to AP bonus dmg
Anyone know how draugh is for sub? vs Nightbloom, considering you get allot more vanishes in for the shoulder buff?
hey guys what legendaries should i pick shoulders/prydaz or shoulders/ring for assasination??
@drifting cipher not a good trinket, DoS is "ok" for sin because it get buffed my AP
and for sub just by vanish+shoulder
@robust marten it just increase to AP potency. With some weird formula
they need to remove all the secondary effects from the talents if they remove AP :X
outlaw and sub is already implemented right?
yes but you need to compile it yourself or wait for the next nightly release (sub is in for sure)
ya waiting for sin too :X
Frond is better on assa and outlaw since you get much less melee attacks as sub
since when ? @thin spire
Thirst is missing 3 hits compared to me
it's mostly due to sprint vanish (and haste ofc)
anyway, stop spreading misinformation
shadow blades counts as melee
and if you don't believe it works

@split sorrel i don't want to spread misinformation, sry about that. i asked this question several times and never got an answer, glad to see someone (you) did it.
i didn't know about the shadowblade thing tho
It's okay, but for me Frond is better on assa and outlaw since you get much less melee attacks as sub wasn't really looking a question π
You can always mention me when the question is interesting enough and no one gives answer π
yes, sorry i will mention you next time. thx anyway π
Guys, quick and stupid question: the DPS that shows up at the end of the sim on raidbots/simulationcraft is an average of the DPS I should be doing? 'cause I'm getting nowhere close to that (shows up as 550k, I usually hover around 400-450k @ 883 ilvl Sub).
Hi there, should we start to switch to outlaw taking into account actual outlaw ranking on multiple boss (1rst on most of them) and further buffs in 7.2.5?
sry wron gchat
Im an 892 outlaw rogue siming like 660k dps is that accurate?
@split sorrel sample sequence table with subterfuge doesn't seem to use garrote during subt after vanishing, but still simming as a dps increase over nightstalker
am I missing something?
Hi guys, i have 845 master assassin relic vs 875 gushing wound. I know MA worth 28ivl, but i dont know if its 28 for all relic.
Like GW is 11
no @safe aspen
Do i need to do 28-11, and the result is the ilvl difference i need ? So only 17ilvl between this 2 ?
so subterfuge buffed garrote on opener simply does more damage than nightstalker buffed vanish envenoms throughout the fight?
guys i got a question about relics curently eq blood 865 MA and 900 cloak of shadows relic dropped is it worth changing ? got boots and convergence
that doesn't sound right to me either @safe aspen... but if the sim shows it?
!relics
guys where can i find sims for assassination relics?
Is there an easy way to handle something only during the opener in the APL? Was wondering if it's a gain to double apply to pandemic your first garrote when using subterfuge.
!help
@coarse topaz diff is very small
it is not a gain to double garrote subterfuge
but based on circumstance it can be
i.e. if you have to go out of melee for example
Thanks Aethys.
might be in T20 tho
its probably better to sim it yourself as the impact depends on your gear
@white nexus that sounds about right. i'm 886 and simming for a little under that. Funny though, I'm simming for a bit higher than i'm actually able to pull off real time.
yea but poison knives? lol
Gives flat AP dmg increase
I thought it was only during FoK but apperantly it's just a flat increase to AP's bonus dmg
U still need 2 ma
That's an old sim aswell
Before new traits
Before 7.2
I'd advise to stay away from information a patch old
@white nexus depending on your legendaries that's either right, or low. I sim about 780k at 902 (insignia + kj). Shoulders add about 70k to my sim.
u have shoulders?
Atm as sin i sim 863k dps, and with some gear swapping and ravenhold ring and shoulders (no outlaw lege), i sim 912 as outlaw. 50k dps is a bit much so wanted to ask if outlaw sims precisely and pulled ahead so much @split sorrel
I have a question about sim craft if someone could explain what are the gem ids next to my mainhand weapon? because we don't have gems in our weapons: from simcraft text line
main_hand=,id=128870,bonus_id=741,relic_id=3520:1477:3337/3444:1487:3336/3411:1527:3336,gem_id=140822/140815/136718/0
!sim
how do I sim on the ptr with the new build?
@tawny cradle ptr=1 or ptr active in options
@pulsar canyon RNG and skilled APL (fast reaction)
just write ptr=1 on simulation window?
did u adjusted talents ?
also yeah, overall right now sub changes are mostly a nerf
probably same for outlaw, until they changes the %
it's mechanic changes
yea swapped like 4 times
not balance yet
oh I alright thanks for clarifying
How does rota / opener change when you have the Bracers and the Mantle? ^^
I am still very confused how to make the best of both and how to do a correct rota and how to roll with both..
Greenskins increases crits value greatly.
Mantle negates it.
Shark infested waters is clearly lower worth with mantle ..
Simcraft tells me now completly differnent values, switched most crit for vers and mastery.
Dropped from 39% crit to 24%
(@woven shoal)
world of true bearing
bte when u don't have the buff
try the addon using simc apl if u want to see in live what simc would do
Trying to understand what you just told me.
So I can actually see ingame what button simc would press in each situation?
Is there a guide anywhere on how to set this up?
ok AethysRotation
https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/aethysrotation
Did not see your addon anywhere in the Pins or FAQ
I do not advertise it "publicly" until I'm satisfied enough with
which is not the case atm, but it's still pretty playable π
and it is how I make APL nowadays
in 7.2.5 will sub be a more viable specc for pve?
yesterday I sim 900k as outlaw.today 860k..whats happening
also somehow haste weighted higer than ver
O_O
might be a bug I fixed with combat potency proc chance being too high in simc
regarding stat weights make sure to run enough iterations (use target error)
okey thnks
Anyone having issues with latest simc? One is simming 952k, the next 964k, the next 912k - same gear/spec etc
Circles around those 3 numbers again and again
what spec and how many iterations?
@late wren yeah i sim like that...
@split sorrel i get what u saying about skilled APL. But RNG in siming?

ye was thinking that myself
cause doubt im gonna replace the relic, 925 mythic titanforged
i pinned a guide how to sim traits in #228878985210101760
I'm having trouble finding any #s about this, wondering if anyone had simmed the bonus between Sephuz and the boots for Outlaw?
ty @regal agate
hello How It Works to Use Six Shadow Strike During Subterfuge Phase https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Dbzh2XqP9VBLMgAt#fight=25&type=casts&source=1&view=timeline
thats becouse shadowdance protects stealth
i should pin it in general or so, i get asked daily
thank you
Not sure if thats the correct channel for this, but the case is that NBF / DOS sims 4k higher than CoF/DoS or NBF/CoF, but NBF is very unreliable. Should I stick to CoF/DoS or go with NBF / DoS?
Legendaries you mean? Boots and Shoudlers
I would go CoF/DoS honestly. Since NBF is so unlikely to be valuable.
Yeah, thats what I am doing currently, works well, just wondered if Im not missing some potential gain there
Thanks alot
Frond has higher variance, depends on how much you wanna gamble with your parses.
a good frond parse will be better than the best DOS parse but you might not get even one of those in a raid night.
yeah..you dont need 5-10% fond damage
if you roll a decent high version of it the agi + 1-2% extra dmg mostly always are fine to be already in a decent spot
what changed with the most recent simc nightly?
im simming lower as outlaw and im getting these unexpected stat weights
https://gyazo.com/4d4a782fb5c0d4a94e26ec91d6bff4b6
scroll up abit Mystler commented about that.
what exactly was changed?
i cant seem to find the commit for it
i saw the thing mystler said, but he wasnt very specific
"Combat Potency"
check the changelog at http://www.wowhead.com/spell=35551/combat-potency#changelog back in WoD combat potency proc chance scaled with weapon speed
that proc chance calculation was still in simc the whole time
^^
which simcraft build should i use? latest update or latest nightly build?
always latest nightly
could u guide me just a bit ?
i use win32 is that the latest for me simc-720-03-nightly-osx-x86-8bb978d03.dmg ?
this is osx
uhm
the outlaw apl looks awful. "prepot - curse of the dreadblades - vanish" with shoulders
Is versatility more important than crit once you get the mantle of assassination ?
with outlaw? dont think so, i mean a bit for sure, but versa just diminishes like hell
and for sin ?
@queen elk crit becomes your worst stat with mantle as outlaw
lol ok thanks, so it's going (for sin) Mastery > Versa > Crit >= Haste ?
crit should still be better than haste
thx guys (:
i'm seeing frond (895) simming higher than either CoF (890) or DoS (895). see results here: https://raidbots.com/simbot/report/BJpu0WTCl
that's surprising to me. is frond simming correctly?
alright, so we collectively believe dropping CoF for frond is a win? that still seems surprising to me, but i'll test it out in the real world π
@celest cypress you drop dos not cof
do you guys know why avast ist blocking my simcraft? >_>
@heavy moon the raidbots link i linked above shows dropping CoF being worth more than swapping DoS out
Versatility cap for assasination ?
@celest cypress what does the nightly simc build tell you? I would agree in dropping DoS.
i don't have nightly simc installed here, but raidbots (set to use the nightly build) is showing 895 frond > 895 DoS > 890 CoF. (report here: https://raidbots.com/simbot/report/BJpu0WTCl)
Prolonged Power or Old war for raids? I find that Prolonged pwer would be better no?
@split sorrel in the latest Nightly, it still seems like Dreadblade's Vigor (the trait for 10% damage buff during Curse) does not have any impact on dps. If I override the trait to be disabled (with artifact_override=dreadblades_vigor:0 ), I wind up with roughly the exact same dps. In reality it should be in the ballpark of a 2% overall difference.
Are the sims taking into account mantle making crit bad for Outlaw, cause it's still telling me crit is my 2nd best stat
it does for me, are you using the last nightly?
for me with mantle is simming as my worst stat
Let me check
Aha there we go, I was literally 1 build out and that made the difference
Though I also sim at like 60k dps less
without any changes to my char as far as I know so that's curious
scroll up -_-
Not seeing anything pertaining to a large DPS loss, unless you're refering to the combat potency but that wouldnt take effect until 7.2.5
there were wod leftover inside simc about combat potency @simple socket
read again the commit
Oh crap yeah my bad, nearly 6am so my focus aint exactly great
Cant believe that's been in there since wod though haha
it happens
aethys - where everything can happen
@split sorrel the wod leftover is still there or fixed?
it's fixed in latest nightly, that's why dps went down
ouh..the one that high dps is bugged. dem
I thot otherwise
Outlaw, Agility=22.27, CritRating=18.53, HasteRating=19.32, MasteryRating=12.95, Versatility=18.5)
so different..tsk..
its correct I should folo this? because few days ago its like normal ver>=crit>mastery > haste
target error rate 0.1% π
sory I don't understand. I should change something?
yes, in the options, default is 10k iterations, use target error rate instead
outlaw is so rng, 10k aren't enough
okey thanks. using raidbots not in office. will try with simcraft..tho raidbots have 25k iterations..trying that now see if any different
yeah still same stat witl 25k . haste>vers>crit>mastery..
eventho my haste at 10%. its weird..will report again after try 0.1% target erro
why is my simcraft simming me for a number i know i will never reach, 800k
but shadowcraft is simming me something much more reasonable like 650k
when it comes to absolute numbers simc is more accurate, check the pin in #226375547381350400
its very likely becouse of the player skill and the szenario.
if you sim a patchwork fight and compare your numbers to a movement heavy encounter with downtimes you will very likely get lower numbers.
the same applys if you are not able to peform as good or close to the apl even on similar fights.
check pins in #off-topic
hello! What is the best horde race for assassination for pure dps?
Orc
Hello, How do poison knives increase the effect of Agonizing poision? I got 4/4 now which increases the effect by 8% => Is that 8% from the +/- 40% I get from AP at 5 stacks?
why is simcraft casting vanish on the pull in outlaw? (latest nightly)
oh, the APL is missing "mantle_duration=0" in the vanish bit
Should it be changed to this?
actions.stealth+=/vanish,if=(equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&buff.true_bearing.up&mantle_duration=0)|variable.stealth_condition
Aethys, what simc options are you running fight style?
I've been using lightmovement / 1 target / elite
not sure if that's optimal for NH, basically been ignoring adds in mythic unless I absolutely have to
Thoughts on why my simc for Outlaw basically flipped stat weights over the last few nightly builds? I went from the typical Vers ~= Crit > Haste > Mastery to Mastery > Haste ~= Crit > Vers
Legendaries are KJBW and Mantle
Ran with 100K iterations (previous was likely set to .05% error)
Roger. Should have scrolled back farther than the comments about it affecting DPS to find the comments about stat weights too. Thanks.
can any 1 help plz with the simulation got 1 question
@ember fossil there was a bug with combat potency that has been in simc since the start of legion
it was recently fixed
ya i know its fixed the issue is that my simcraft shows that my kingsbane does way more dmg than it does in a fight i dont understand i always have it 100% up time
?
@tidal shore must be doing something wrong, my simcraft is actually showing 1.5% less than my avg kingsbane damage lol
my KB sometimes does more damage than rupture :p
depends on poison rng application π π π π π π π
Hey, the last couple days I wasn't able to run SimC. If it helps anyone, the issue was caused by the latest nvidia drivers. Version 378.92 works.
!trinkets
Planning to switch to Outlaw and doing some simulations. With my current Sin setup (boots+Shoulders) I'm doing ~860K and with Outlaw gear ~815k. But SimC shows a 75% uptime on TB, that means fishing with 1-2 CPs as well?
!trinkets
when simming different relics i can see that those i already have equipped have 3 sets of numbers, eg. 3518:1507:3336, while those on wowhead have only 2 sets of digits, whats the difference?
And does putting numbers like 140815:3445 (2sets) affects my simulation?
Helllo, one question, anyone here who know what is better? Memento of Angerboda itemlevel 905 (http://www.wowhead.com/item=133644/memento-of-angerboda&bonus=1826) or Draught of Souls itemlevel 895 (http://www.wowhead.com/item=140808/draught-of-souls&bonus=3515). I would be very pleased to receive your answers and opinions.
This blue trinket of item level 825 goes in the "Trinket" slot. It is looted from Seacursed Slaver. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: Legion.
S I M I T
yes, with memento of angerboda i got 855546 dps and with Draugh of Souls i got 854566 dps. simed with SimcSetup-720-03-Win64.exe from 2017-04-26
no real difference
so use momento then
strange, just downloaded newest nightly build and when you select Enable Scaling, you can't select anything under stats to scale
hello, i just simmed my rogue with [Cinidaria, the Symbiote] and [Zoldyck Family Training Shackles] and the belt sims 12k dps higher.
Great story. Solid plot. I really embraced the characters. 10/10.
what?
he mean you arent presenting a question
what simc options does everyone use for fight style?
hmm, just wondering if this is actually true, or only on paper and in reality the bracers is still better?
Even if the belt were better, surely you would be better served with sub 30% dps, for the raids sake. 100-90 is rarely a difficult part of the fight, nor a dps check.
belt sims like shit
belt sims as 10% of the fight is 10% of the time. so 5min sim, it assumes 10% is 30s
where it's usually a lot less
@random veldt thats not true
@random veldt simcraft has the fluffy pillow enemy lose HP at a rate based off of your damage realistically
in this sim i happen to have open the boss was at 90-100% for 6.65% of the fight
hm
Hello Rogue discord not sure if this is correct channel but does outlaw sims have same kind of interaction with haste where haste sometimes scales reallt high or is there a breakpoint. I have an understanding vers and crit are the main secondaries (while having balanced amount of mastery and haste)
scroll up
Oh shit sry was looking in pins and didnt see anything there
odd that it scales in sims already if its the ptr change that affects it
No
It was using old wod code
So it never got changed for legion in the first place
In simc
make sure you run outlaw stat scaling simulations with target error (0.1% recommended) instead of default 10k iterations
when i checked NH default profile, haste was not #1
I used .05%
And it was by far
NH default doesn't use any leggos
With shoulders and greenskins haste wins
interesting
It trashed sin too
@boreal patrol I basically first did my initial tests with the default profile but swapped in shoulders and greenskins
it says vers is by far best for me as outlaw
like agi = 20, vers = 18, and rest is around 10
with mantle ring
Somewhat late to the party.
But surprise surprise stats change with gear.
For my sin atm mastery lost quite some value after 17500.
And vers dropped for outlaw after I got enough of my mastery to vers.
So it is the usual sim it
Nah once you get enough haste, it's back to vers only
it's just a soft cap basically
haste value declines rapidly after a certain point again
@vague olive its safe to follow sims? im gonna change enchant and gem if it is..thts quite some gold
@cursive dock it is safe. I found that after around ~15% haste, it drops below vers again, at least for me. i did some work and played around with neck enchants (claw/satyr) and have been running sims all night pretty much
alright..yarhhh i like haste..
i changed a couple of pieces around, ended up losing about an ilevel but i have significantly more haste
at the cost of mastery, its worth it
yea about the same with me..16 16 12 11
like u said..after 15 haste..value same with vers
glad i keep item in my bank
just enchan n gem
i changed my 895 vers heavy, mastery light neck
to a vers heavy, haste light with a socket neck
890
and it seemed to fix all the problems i had
i tried playing around with bti and keeping my original stats cause i had a lot more vers
but i found that haste is pretty much only worth it if youre not trading away any crit
Just a side note, use 0 as a talent on the dirty tricks row
APL still uses couge on bosses
if the apl uses gouge on bosses but they dont get incapacitated, it still gives the combo point right?
i usually set it to 0, but i just changed my talents to dirty tricks
Ye sim gives cps unlike ingame. So just using 0 as a talent fixes it
same issue as sephuz :/
Hello. I simmed myself and every Result shows me that Subterfuge is bit better than Nightstalker. Should i trust it or is it just a Feelycraft to go with Nightstalker?
Try to use the Discord built-in search function π
Hello, as a user of both bracers and shoulders and nightstalker (assa) I'm wondering whether I should rupture or envenom after vanish. Simcraft for some reason ruptures after vanish midfight (2:17 min) and envenoms before the end of the fight even though the full duration of rupture could be used (4:20 vanish->env, 5:08 end of the fight), which seems illogical to me as zoldyck increases rupture damage in execute phase by quite a bit. When looking at top rogues with same legendaries around 80% always envenoms after vanish (even in execute phase). Any reasoning for that? I've asked that question before in general and consensus was that rupture is more efficient yet all top rogues go with envenom.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that envenom fully benefits from vendetta (unlike rupture) and increases the proc chance of kingsbane (more lethal poisons)
Play Subter π
Hey! i just got CoF 880 ilvl, and i currently use Memento 895 + Mastery+Agi trinket 885. CoF sims lower for me even tho i have feet am i doing something wrong?
is sub simming a bit high ?
Anyone able to help with how one 'reverts' or changes back to another APL in simc?
With Tortoise that is*
why do you think that @torn steeple
i have ilvl 822, with feet legendary and trinkets are horn of valor, and memento. But i only sim dps 360099dps. does it have to do with waiting ? since i have waiting 42,34% and when playing i feel im energy starving. im using agonizing poison and venom rush talents. https://gyazo.com/8e74675d2ce98c7a4cfb3065c5baa634 here is sc.
Ask this in general. But the answer is its because of your ilvl. You are only 822. AP sucks until higher gear levels. You need high mastery.
Just a question on stat weights. I simmed my outlaw rogue alt that i dinged last week and it keeps giving haste as its go to stat after agi at 876. Every guide i've found so far doesnt list haste close to that high. Starting to wonder if alacrity is not taken into account properly in the 7.2.3 nightly build. Or is this normal for a fresh rogue?
their was a bug in simc that caused everyone to believe haste was worse than it was
this bug was recently fixed causing simc to produce the correct results of haste actually being good
guides havent caught up yet
is there a source on that
A ok tnx. Will continue my trust in sim results then and follow that:)
@round canyon where'd you get that info
im finding it for you one sec
only for outlaw
combat potency was bugged to have a higher proc rate than normal inside simc causing haste to lose value
@turbid skiff heres the commit for it in simc that changed it
https://github.com/simulationcraft/simc/commit/6d0a1de27d246b3dd4aa8d450f1c468d5c717ae1
you can also look at messages from mystler in this channel for more information via the discord search function
found it
thank you
how much does everyone think that improves sephuz
if haste is apparently our best secondary stat
it still loses value sharply as you gain more of it
much sharper than other stats
at 6k haste its barely behind vers rather than ahead of it for me
Does Nightblooming Frond sim properly? I just tried to do a sim comparison of a 905Frond vs 905Tirathon's, and Frond's uptime came up as 25%, which is just ludicrous
Or atleast, is not what my experience with it is
15 seconds every minute is the expected average proc rate
1rppm and a 15 second duration is 25% uptime
Oh I see, thanks
So, looking at the Poison Knives trait - Simc calls it an ST DPS increase for both DP and AP builds, however, according to the tooltip, it only seems to affect anything if you FOK. Does it work differently to how the tooltip describes?
Try to read again the tooltip
@sterile jolt i thought the AP bonus only went into affect when you FOK targets with AP already applied (how DP works) but apperantly its just a flat AP buff. which makes no fucking sense why they would smush a single target trait with an aoe trait
For Outlaw, with Shoulders/Ring lego, do we sim that with Ghostly Strike or Quick Draw?
as far as i know you switch to quick draw with wrists only
That's what I thought, but sims are showing that with Quick Draw I would pull better DPS than with Ghostly
Just trying to see the difference between Ring and Bracers on my toon
@split sorrel But I'm finding my DPS going up (slightly) with DP as well in SIMC. I assumed the AP portion of the damage could be taken in context of FOK, which I suppose you're inferring was incorrect - but what about DP?
With the corrected haste I wonder if DoS actually becomes useful for outlaw? Have to play with sims tomorrow.
Can anyone take a quick look at my logs and let me know what i can do to improve my dps?
Ask in #228878985210101760
alright TY
@raw knoll the main problem with draught is that theres no good window to use it in for outlaw
and frond/convergence are both so good aswell
also i would assume that the APL doesnt use it properly for outlaw as im sure no one has tried to fit it in before
Yeah the placement of where to fit it in is what I see as an issue.
so i just simmed myself after i got opus as my second and its telling me to go after vers and crit now
i thought assassin rogues wanted like as close as 200% mast as possible?
Sims are usually pretty accurate unless you didn't use enough iterations/target error... Maybe try simming different fight types?
I generally do patchwerk and light movement
Soo my 860 CoF is simming more than 890 agi mastery Eye of Guarm on outlaw is this legit?
AR up time is strong m8
Hey guys, sorru to ask here if this is wrong, but do any of you know how i can completely delete all my Weak auras?
They've somehow come out of groups and i cant be bothered going through each to click each one..
I would quote blizz and tell you to delete the wtf folder but
Go into your wtf folder and see if anything is labeled weak aura or simular and delete ut
is there a new build coming in the next few days?
!legendary
does simcraft have the latest outlaw change sin it, and how do i get that copy? can i just clone the repo and compile ?
laest, i mean for 7.2.5
latest outlaw change should be in the latest nightly.
change version to prt befor simming
So haste isn't complete trash for outlaw is what's being said?
My bad, new to rogue so haven't done much research. :c
I can show u plot where it was recommending 20% of the budget on haste
that were done months ago
while in reality, optimum might have been 30
haste is pretty bad standardly without legendaries, but legendaires change this... mantle makes crit worth less because you get free crit, this helps elevate haste to a secondar useful stat, but vers is still king
Makes sense, thanks for the clarification
just shoot for versatility and anything, vers and crit are better if you dont have mantle
which simcraft from the homepage should i download to sim my character?
7.2.0 release 2?
Nightly
When simming outlaw what target error should I use? was it 0.5 or 0.05?
outlaw sim can take quite a while
with 0.05% error and scaling it takes me anywhere from 30-60 minutes
yea shit took me a good 10-15 when i simmed for outlaw
What? Just keep iterations medium and length ~300s and error to .01% takes my laptop like 5 mins with scaling
tops
high tier laptop god
Can anyone explain to me the vanish APL for outlaw with Mantle?
I'd have thought that the best time to use it was during artifact with a good roll up but that doesnt seem to be what its doing at all
True bearing resets cooldowns, including vanish @torpid roost
I know, its great
Hence why you can't just hold vanish for curse
Unless you're speaking solely about opener
In which case post a sample action sequence or maybe bug aethys if it's really wack?
sec, let me get the apl
"actions.stealth+=/vanish,if=(equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&buff.true_bearing.up&mantle_duration=0)|variable.stealth_condition"
The logic here seems to be "Hold vanish until we meet the stealth_condition, or true bearing is up (no point wasting that CD reduction goodness)". The mantle_duration=0 I have added, because if you roll true bearing on the pull then it will vanish rather than hold until the buff fades.
Its the stealth_condition I'm having trouble disecting:
actions.stealth=variable,name=stealth_condition,value=combo_points.deficit>=2+2*(talent.ghostly_strike.enabled&!debuff.ghostly_strike.up)+buff.broadsides.up&energy>60&!buff.jolly_roger.up&!buff.hidden_blade.up&!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up
Best I can tell this is a bunch of conditions that all need to be met inorder to vanish? Except they're all negated with the ! (not). So vanish when curse of the dread blades isn't up etc.
@split sorrel able to shed any light for me? Apologies if this is all crazy talk, I'm making a few leaps as I'm new at the APL stuff
Anyone know if delaying KB for 10-15 seconds is worth for vendetta to reset?
Or 20 sometimes for that matter
@jagged thorn check apl you'll find the answer π
@torpid roost can you reformulate ?
I don't get what you "need"
Don't want to sound like a retard but.. the hell is apl ;>? @split sorrel
you're in #tc-research
this is Asn T19M_NH default profile
packaged with default APL π
actions.kb+=/kingsbane,if=!talent.exsanguinate.enabled&buff.envenom.up&((debuff.vendetta.up&debuff.surge_of_toxins.up)|cooldown.vendetta.remains<=5.8|cooldown.vendetta.remains>=10)
actions.kb+=/kingsbane,if=talent.exsanguinate.enabled&dot.rupture.exsanguinated```
first is only if you have Sinister Circulation and don't have boots & cof & more than 6 ranks in MA
I think the APL is wrong, because it doesn't make sense to me... :P
so either I'd like a little insight into why it is right (i'm trying to learn outlaw atm via the apl), otherwise I'm highlighting a mistake for you?
the part that interest you is : |cooldown.vendetta.remains<=5.8|cooldown.vendetta.remains>=10 from the 2nd
@torpid roost yeah mantle duration need to be added
you can PR it or I'll do it one day
this:
actions.stealth=variable,name=stealth_condition,value=combo_points.deficit>=2+2*(talent.ghostly_strike.enabled&!debuff.ghostly_strike.up)+buff.broadsides.up&energy>60&!buff.jolly_roger.up&!buff.hidden_blade.up&!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up
means
you need to have a combo points deficit of 2 + 1 if broadsides + 2 if ghostly trike isn't up (and u have ghostly strike ofc)
I've tested delaying KB for vendetta all the time and at my gear (916) it's only a 3k dps loss
your energy must be superior to 60
and you shouldn't have JR, HB nor CotB
altough, this is prolly outdated π
and its that last bit that makes no sense to me
they seem like good things to have up
As in delaying it is a loss or using it asap? @wind otter
delaying is the 3k loss
ah thats the bit I'm missing - its purely vanishing to get ambush?
@jagged thorn @wind otter those things depend heavily on the type of fight "in real conditions", on patchwerk it's not ideal to sync
@torpid roost yes because there is no special mantle support for it
so the APL can be improved in regards to this
Hmm.. alright thanks @split sorrel @wind otter - guess I need to test it out myself in some lfr's/normals
I was specifically looking for a nice ruleset on when to vanish for mantle xD oh well
oh and @split sorrel does the nightstalker bug still exist? I can't replicate it any more
I'm asking here because I saw you hadn't implemented it yet and there would be no point to if it got fixed
it still does
I'll implement it eventually this weekend π
@torpid roost if you need help do not hesitate to ask me, especially if you got a hard time with APL syntax
I can fudge the APL for mantle I think, I just don't know when I should be using vanish with mantle to translate it into code :P
@torpid roost I can't help with sim APL, but in a fight you should pretty much be using vanish on CD
With the amount of CD reduction you're getting off TB, you want to pump as many vanishes out as possible
Yes that's the conclusion that I'm coming to after a few different tweaks to the apl ...I thought the true bearing bit was because of CD reduction, but I guess it's also pretty good indicator of when you're not spending your time rolling
Yeah, just don't pop it when you're low energy
And maybe worth holding 5-10s or so for curse
Im out for the evening now, but I'll have a play later
i have been informed that the rppm on trinkets has been changed. is this confirmed and is it updated in the new build?
does anyone know roughly how far nightblooming frond is overshooting its dmg on sim?
it sims correct
alright, thank you. just got a 920 entwined foci and its 7k dps under a 905 frond on sim π
Hey, could someone point me to a resource that explains how to present Simulationcraft results on a webpage?
with haste apparently being so much better does that improve the value of slice and dice at all
not on live and ask in general
is there a guide on how to sim different artifact traits?
Is there a bug with outlaw APL on simc right now, im seeing a huge difference between build 505e246 733k, vs build 8301cad 671k with the same gear / settings
its very consistent too, within 1-2k each time I rerun on each build, using error target 0.03%
There was an combat potency thing left over from WoD still in simc, it's been fixed
ah so the old build was bad, the latest nightly is more correct?
That's my understanding - dps dropped, value of haste went up
yeah noticed haste was the top for me now too
I put on a nightmare egg shell and got a pretty large boost to dps recently
@split sorrel My attempt at mantle support:
actions.stealth=variable,name=stealth_condition,value=combo_points.deficit>=2+2*(talent.ghostly_strike.enabled&!debuff.ghostly_strike.up)+buff.broadsides.up&energy>60&!buff.jolly_roger.up&!buff.hidden_blade.up&!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up
#actions.stealth+=/ambush
actions.stealth+=/vanish,if=(equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&mantle_duration=0&!variable.rtb_reroll&!variable.ss_useable)|(!equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&variable.stealth_condition)
actions.stealth+=/shadowmeld,if=variable.stealth_condition
Sims went from 829k dps to 859k. The biggest difference was made by omitting the ambush line, which was discovered by chance - but it accounted for 20k dps. This only affected mantle, there was practically no difference when I tested for non-mantle (-300 dps).
changing the ambush line to the following will give a better damage boost
actions.stealth+=/ambush,if=!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up
that'd explain why it made no difference in the non-mantle case
the problem is that you vanish during curse with that APL and with the old one
then ambush during curse which is obviously not how you are suppose to play
That change was discovered by accident (I made a mistake while copying across), and maybe it's not even necessary with !variable.ss_useable in the mantle condition (added after)
The APL also rolls until 3 buffs or true bearing, while the guides suggest 2 buffs. Changing to 2 buffs is a pretty big dps loss in simc - so what should we be doing?
the guide is wrong, roll for 3+/tb
okay - are there any up to date guides?
actions.stealth+=/ambush,if=!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up
This is a dps loss for my sims btw
it looks like your right
actions.stealth+=/ambush,if=variable.stealth_condition
This will only use ambush for non-mantle users
If you have mantle, then my apl will wait until you're not rerolling, and you aren't ready to sabre slash (which I can only assume means you're about to use run through)
heres a better one. it occured to me that it would be ambushing at 5/6 combo points outside curse with that particular APL change
actions.stealth+=/ambush,if=!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up&combo_points.deficit>=2+buff.broadsides.up
quick look thru the sample sequence it looks like it is going vanish > run through every time
would someone be kind enough to walk me through on how to sim myself
That'd be useful if my APL used vanish for the ambush benefit, but
(!equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&variable.stealth_condition)
This bit stops that
you still want to ambush when you vanish in certain conditions
(equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&mantle_duration=0&!variable.rtb_reroll&!variable.ss_useable)|
The variable.ss_useable bit at the end I think means that case never occurs
@albert#5326 check #rules-and-guides
Maybe I want to remove the !equipped.mantle from the stealth_condition (possibly useful to rename that to ambush_condition) - in which case using that same condition to add ambush to the action list makes sense
actions.stealth+=/ambush,if=variable.ambush_condition
actions.stealth+=/vanish,if=(equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&mantle_duration=0&!variable.rtb_reroll&!variable.ss_useable)|variable.ambush_condition
actions.stealth+=/shadowmeld,if=variable.ambush_condition```
there's no difference in sim dps between this and the case where you never ambush though
~~@torpid roost its really really ugly but i got ambush to fit in the way i personally use it and it provided a damage boost
actions.stealth+=/vanish,if=(equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&mantle_duration=0&!variable.rtb_reroll&!variable.ss_useable)|(energy>60&Combo_points.deficit=2+buff.broadsides.up)&!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up
actions.stealth+=/ambush,if=!buff.curse_of_the_dreadblades.up&combo_points.deficit>=2+buff.broadsides.up
actions.stealth+=/shadowmeld,if=variable.ambush_condition```~~
Anyone having issues running the latest simcraft x64 nightly build? it wont even engage after installing.
works fine for me, but i did use the archive file instead of the installer
which simcraft should i download? the nightly build or the 7.2 release 2? seems to me that the nightly build is more of a beta/testing thing?
always the latest nighttly build
nightly is more about fixing stuffs and updating the apl (they test before releasing to the nightly)
and implementing hotfixes too
!trinkets
!trinkets
Guys the apl is using goremaw as the first skill on pull or am I wrong?
yes that is about to change π
is it normal that Balanced Blades trait sims higher than Serrated edge for example?
should i trust that?
There is nothing wrong with that.
Recently leveled up my rogue and was wondering if anyone have a decent pawn string?
When i simmed my toon it values crit over mastery which should not be the case
I would ask in #228878985210101760 - my guess is your ilvl is low and it may be seeing more value from bleeds.
ill give it a try
sephuzs or cinidaria for assassination?
I use the boots + legs cuz i haven't shoulder + bracer
Jα΅Λ£α΅: Any simple questions like 'what trinkets do I use π€' and 'what is my stat priority' will be removed from this channel immediately. Keep discussion related to simulations/maths
just want to emphasize that.
@regal agate goremaw on pull isnt correct?
no
sorry but Im really confused wheter its correct or not to use goremaw. when should I use it?
saw a rogue doing m guldan only using goremaw around the 1 minute mark
as far as i know you use it once you start starving on energy
guys wheres most updated sims?
@tawny cradle i tend to use when im going to be nrg starved and i have t refresh sod cuz the nrg regen and the 3 free finishers make the refresh basically not forcing u to waste one shadowstrike but i use it on feel so work with it and check where it suits u
so I play a high 898 sin rogue, CoF, DoS, boots shoulders lego's. When I simulate the difference between nightstalker and subterfuge, nightstalker pulls ahead by about 10-15k. I still everyone using subter though, so is mine just weird?
subter is only better at extreme mastery levels where vanish envenoming is better than vanish rupture
i think
that's not the reasoning behind it no
whispyr i suggest checking to see how out of date your simc is
@turbid skiff wouldn't it be the other way around? nightstalker being better ( or atleast super close to subterfuge ) at extreme mastery levels?
@turbid skiff but vanish-envenom works better with NS
?
@torpid valve thats correct
That is what I was thinking thanks @umbral tapir
im playin sub omgbak. leg shoulders and boots. 4pc. playin with weaponmaster on first row.
How do you sim rotations? Seems complicated
i could be wrong
@wicked spear @runic hinge this is a discussion for #228878985210101760 lads
Gonna remove your posts now, productive discussion is great just make sure its not in the wrong channels to avoid spam
Ravenholdt is happy to announce that we have implemented SimCraftBot, a discord automated Simc runner that will allow you to sim your character! To reduce spam in other channels, please keep it to #308849009844420610. To sim your character, type the following:
To sim for just DPS: !sim region(na or eu)/server/character name
To sim for DPS and stat weights: !sim region(na or eu)/server/character name -s
don't work with cyrillic letters(
@unique harbor yes it does
How is the outlaw APL in simC?
its very nice
I was wondering about the APL because it was saying on average slice n dice was a 10% dps increase for my gear level, granted it's a new rogue so rather lowish.
disclaimer, this was using the nightly build if that matters lol
hmm maybe i was using an outdated build because i updated it again and now its only a 5% increase using SnD over marked
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
"Hmm, we never mentionned it here, but our try to implement RtB as it works on the PTR is not okay. So any 7.2.5 RtB sims is not valid."
#tc-updates
oh, hmm interesting. so the nightly build is for 7.2.5? thought it was for 7.2.0
the latest nightly is for ptr + live. you can switch the version in the option menue
oh gotcha, yeah i was on the live version
hmm strangely enough death from above is then simming even higher, like another 8% above SnD, which is going against everything i was reading in the guides trying to figure this class out >.<
coming from a brewmaster, i just really missed being a dps
is there any particular reason outlaw is using gouge in the apl?
@modest ravine if you have the dirty tricks talent, simc will use gouge
change that talent row to 0 in your simc
also it says to use prolonged power on the pull but i thought we were supposed to use old war
oh ok. i'll change that when i sim tonight
just making sure there was no benefit to using it. unless it still gives a cp on bosses
are convergence of fates procs shown in the apl?
@past token Or you can just delete that line in the apl π
@bleak sky ahh you're right! slipped my mind
which pot is better for assasination? π
ty !
how good is the chronoshard on sin rogue?
check pins
hm tryin to figure out the relics for assasin and if i undeerstand it right if i have a 870 master assasin the Toxic Blade one must be 28+12=40 ilvl higer to beat it?
i have read the post about how to switch the relics to sim it but its to different so i just cant work it out
value of relics depends on your legendaries - boots increase value of master assassin, mantle increases value of envenom dmg
So I have mantle but no greenskins for legendaries. From what I'm reading in the APL, it doesn't have me using Between the Eyes unless I have greenskins. From my understanding, if I can guarantee a crit from BtE, then it's worth using. It hits harder from my experience in game as well than run through crits. Only with mantle buff up obviously. Am I reading this wrong? Wouldn't it be ideal to use BtE within mantle buff even w/o greenskins?
Guys , i have 46 traits going for the 47. whats its better Mutilate, Master Alchemist or Poison Knives?
i got 3 RT relicts - so you'd say you play the opener with RT unless you get need to generate bracer procs with bte?
also if you dont get opportunity procs but have TB you just keep using saber slash + rt until buffs about to run out or you get opportunity proc right?
@normal mural Adding this to the end of the BTE line should test that - it was a DPS loss for myself, but I don't have any relevant relics
|(equipped.mantle_of_the_master_assassin&mantle_duration>0&!buff.sprint.up)
are they going to nerf assassination in 7.2.5?
hav a 930 weapon is it worth to change a 920 envenom relik against a 915 ma relic ? hav 1 920 env 1 900 ma 1 900 rupture dmg
Sim it
Eisten this is not the place for that topic
was outlaw nerfed recently? i "lost" 100k simdps only by updating to simcrafts newest nightly build
I think there was a bug that stayed there for long. It was corrected recently
so now its my true simdps?
It's more close to reality, yes
meh.. okay, thanks dude
@torpid roost That's a realm I haven't discovered yet. How would I add that to the APL? I couldn't find it in a tab. Do I need to go into the files and edit it, or is there a way to do it within the program?
Are you running the desktop client?
ya
When you import your character, has your characters info at the top, then a bunch of APL, and below that your characters gear etc
