Blizzmove lets you move the bag around
I guess, for stats
But overall at that point though VoI gear will be on-par with crafting right?
Guess we’ll find out after they finish hotfixing all the embellishments
Tuning
Oh good cowl is gonna become goated
Fingers crossed because it would honestly be good for m+ if it got an aoe buff
That 2 set leatherworking shit looks good but also it's like...
Or just let us apply them to weapons. Without a way to embellish the dagger might as well just farm fenrir on M+ lol
Good for how long
You can embellish daggers with fang adornments or bronzed wrappings
Not at the moment, only with the initial craft
What'chu talkin' 'bout; Willis
Ah
OK that makes more sense
I was like
?????
So they're lost on recruiting entirely? I thought you'd at least be able to re-apply them
Can you recruit a piece of gear from a different profession through a crafting order? I've never tried it yet
I saw that while googling. I'll download it later. Seems like an oversight but w/e
You can't change to wraps unless you re-make the dagger with a new spark
If you didn't add fang on your initial craft, you can't do that as well
Yeah you'd want to get wraps after the pattern drops and apply it then
I haven't made my dagger yet
I've been waiting for wraps
that is definitely a bug though
Seems like it should be a bug though yeah
So whats the deal with embellishments rn is it worth crafting and can they be upgraded or are they bugged etc.
scroll up
i got the pet already, waiting for my mount now
You can upgrade the ilvl of the crafts, you cannot add or change embellishments after the initial craft. If you didn't select one on the initial craft that dagger can't have one added period until it gets fixed.
If you put fangs in it now, you cannot change to wraps later. Until the bug is fixed.
The what now
Can you cage the hatchling?
no idea
Pfft mounts that can't dragonride are dead to me. ;P
You only take summons to Uld?
See you in two years

Honestly if they scrap dragon riding, huge L
Biggest L tbh with how everyone likes it
Honestly, yep so far. 😂
I'd make that flight from Stormwind though if I had to.
I'll cry if dragon riding leaves lol
I still rather fly normally
Flying to uldaman in season 2 😒
The hole they have dug is that this is the first time we basically have flying from the start
Right? How am I supposed to flex with my ground mounts 😦
Idk if they'll expand dragonriding to a global scope but I am not holding my breath
Either all mounts will have to have it, or none would if it went "global" in my mind
they already said last i read there is plans
Will be hard without a cata style rework. The skyboxes are misaligned up there. Just try soaring off mount Hyjal towards ashenvale.
I had not seen that info, but thanks for correcting me. I guess I had little faith in Blizz haha
do we know when the tuning will happen or just estimates?
they want all teh mounts to remain viable so will just have to see how they "adapt" it
" This is literally the best nerf we could have hoped for, quit crying" Hell no. Outlaw isn't far from ass single target and way outperforms it in multitarget/M+. I don't understand why so many people feel that ass shouldn't outperform the other specs by quite a bit when it falls behind in AOE/multitarget by so much.
did you read the pin it said quit crying
Yeah I read the pin that was crying about people crying
no but really we were like 10% ahead of all other specs
there was a 100% chance of a nerf
And what % are we behind in sustained aoe damage?
exsang isnt an aoe ability
middle of the pack actually
not lame ass last
the nerf actually only targeted an extremely polarizing, highly over represented and overpowered talent point
So compared to outlaw, does that make sense?
faq is more updated
ty
Maybe it did, but it also eliminated any chance of playing anything other than outlaw. So I guess I'm just gonna have to be salty about it.
???
Okay see ya then
we still ahead on ST
delusional
plenty of need for ST
By a little bit
Not a lot, just a little. There are no patchwork fights in the new raid that I'm aware of
we also have execute
Terrok not a thing ?
you dont need a patchwerk fight to be valuable
soulrender was a huge aoe fight
but you needed st blasters to kill the boss
Doomed spec honestly without the ability to kill the adds that die in 5 seconds in 4.8 instead
Assassin makes up aoe time with utilities and boss kill speed, it evens out, I don't see the problem
like there will definitely be fights where outlaw is better but its actually just ignorant to assume sin isn't going to be better on probably half the fights at least
What phial is our go to?

oh, and also, if one's not a RWF gamer
the differences are mostly irrelevant
because it IS that close
My damage 
@balmy condor petition to make a mutilate only build

I have probably 25 other things that are more important
like gearing up outlaw?
A true sigma doesn’t make decisions based on the emotions of others

Yeah 100%
be the mutilate only build you want to see in the world
knew it, I knew the weapon world quest wasn't an accident
All calculated
I'm gonna spam mutilate and poison bomb and I'm gonna pump, you'll all see 🤡
S2g if I get another Wq with an outlaw weapon
I just can't understand how this community is so accepting of the exsang nerf...You shall see shortly just how far we can go with ST damage. Like a beastmaster hunter in S3.
Cope
larping are we
Care
Yeah the numbers really reflect that GIGA nerf. So far behind 
the community is accepting of the nerf because being like 7+% ahead of everyone isn't reasonable
omg 6% nerf of a 10% ahead spec
@spare bobcat the specs are close enough in performance that you should play the spec you want, I don't see the problem
such unfair
fuckexsangfuckexsangfuckexsangfuckexsang
Putting a lot of trust into sims

I refuse to believe you’re a real person
🌿
You mean sims that say the simplest build (and therefore easiest to get close to sim) is best ?
embrace feelings
If you want to doubt sims, the warlock discord is in #rules-and-guides
yeah
Because real people play 100% perfect like the sims
reject sims
I trust
guess what that applies to every class and every build
which means
I don’t think you understand how sims work enough to know what “100% perfect” means
@balmy condor I asked you the other day on stream if you're gonna stream mythic plus on day 1 but I don't think you saw it
Any plans to stream?
I’m going to try to!
Heck yea
The sims work in the same way things done in a vacuum in a lab work.
oh gee
theres no air resistance in wow b ro
so m+ next saturday then? Kappa
vaccines actually don't work
wow is the vacuum
Oh so you’re actually just clueless got it
People have proven time and time again how accurate sims are
What are you even talking aboit
Make our aoe Even worse
Kingsbane or Dragon build for Raids?
Manic is trolling there's no way
FaQ talks about the differences
Aintnowaybruh
. Thanks
we should use sargeras sword for mutilate
I'm sure you can write some great code and theory craft. But I'm not going to sit here and listen to some nerd pretend like classes suffer different levels of loss from having to do mechanics. Losses that vary and so their actual performance will also vary from what is simulated.
"some nerd" 
Who said anything otherwise?
ha whispyr is a NERD
theres demons in my head?
No there’s plenty in his though
do i just drill a hole so they can get out?
Whispyr — Today at 3:44 PM
I don’t think you understand how sims work enough to know what “100% perfect” means
Wait so if the Sims are wrong there is time to make a mutilate build whispyr
Yeah, and you’ve done nothing but reinforce that
this guy knows priorities
You haven't agreed that people won't get the same DPS as the sim either...So here we are.
I'll send you my findings and testings on playingwithoutaddonsbasedonfeelings.com
I bet mutilate outperforms all of your builds based on feeling
Send me your post raid reflection journal after it's over.
I will
fuck the sims, just RP in raid
yes, sims are actually completely useless. That's why everyone keeps doing them
we live in a fantasy world
I spam one point crimson tempests
How about you go doom somewhere else? If you think it's fine disagreeing with, like, basically every knowledgeable person in this discord on whether or not the nerf is a massive deal or pretty much what was expected and shouldve happened, you're free to do so.
But how about you stop being insulting when doing so? Or, ya know, just stop altogether? It's not like you'll convince anyone that your opinion is right and 50+ other people (who all raid at high levels) are wrong.
Who said that?
BIG DAM
Okay putting aside that you can definitely hit simdps on a dummy
you come in here, start by saying exsang nerf isn’t warranted when it clearly was, shitting on the pins for saying that this was the best outcome. Then you shit on sims, then you shit on me for telling you that you’re probably not seeing the full picture because you clearly don’t understand how sims work. What’s the end game here
!fuu
Are you trying to convince anyone of anything

Well at least let him answer that one first
maybe we have him !mr in off topic
Fuck me I dont understand how you have the patience for this

maybe we rig the command
It’s interesting to me how people can think the way they do
Fair.
God amongst men
You can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs
no this is just the willpower he saves up from roasting everyone with a wrong opinion
he allows one to stay
@spare bobcat If you have nothing valuable to add to the discussion other than "this sucks", "that sucks", "youre all wrong (without providing any evidence as to why) and trying to pretend like the spec is doomed... Go do it somewhere else. We don't want that here.
Disagreeing with findings or sims or individuals is something we greatly encourage, but it has to be done in a healthy way. Your's isnt.
My hope is that I don't know..Maybe y'all would put up a little more resistance to the nerf. But I see that you're somehow still happy with it so it's a moot point.
The reason no one put up a resistance is because it was warranted.
ah, seliathan is here, finally we can have a decent conversation about why mutilate is the superior build, with feint spam for damage reduction
It's that fucking simple
Okay so what would you have preferred then to the nerf
it is the ideal nerf that fixes all the pain points the spec had.
Blizzard has feedback forums
Given that it was inevitable with how strong we were, was there a better solution than nerfing the talent that was stronger than our capstones?
Something WAY less heavy handed. Minor incremental tuning.
Not all - but it definitely was a nerf that solved a few
Why it's a clunky design for most of the player base, we do fine without it, and they are going to rework the ability and probably make it better.
We were going to take a nerf either way. This was the best way period. That's the point.
Okay but if boomkins are 20% ahead of the “middle of the pack” you’d expect a nerf wouldn’t you?
- No ST-spec flexibility cuz Assa does way too much st? Nerf its st!
- No talent flexibility as Exsang was better than even our capstones? Nerf Exsang!
- A majority of people dont like/enjoy playing exsang? Nerf Exsang!
- People still enjoy lining up cooldowns and big burst in opener? Cool, you can still do that, just less frequently!
Minor incremental tuning would've gotten us still way too much ahead, and wouldn't have fixed the glaring issue of how exsang played
How would that fix the issue of exsang being almost a 10% talent in a field of 2%
It’s getting hot in here, imma open a window 
Why was it ever decided that was something that needed fixed? Is there no other talent in any other class/spec that would provide that much?
we still better on ST anyway
and exng was the problem so whats the point?
imo they should nerf garrote and rupture damage by like 1-2% and buff crimson tempest by about 5%
So it was a nerf that brings our ST back in line, manages to still retain cd stacking, barely touching our opener DPS, and provides more flexibility for both spec diversity and the opportunity to play different talents entirely.
What exactly is the problem with it, other than "muh nerfs"?
it was stronger than capstones while being off the main path, and the optimal play for it was counterintuitive to its design
rupture already kinda tickles
yea but it mainly is for energy regen agreon
to be plain : it was completely wack as far as balance go
i want more aoe on crimson
Because while I know you'd like to be OP and better than everyone else simply by class/spec choice, most of us arent, and it isnt healthy for the game. Because if you start that line of thinking, why doesnt every class just do it like that?
The answer is: Because its stupid.
I don't disagree with it being stronger than the capstones, but many classes have shit capstones that aren't great.
Because talents have tuning targets from blizzards end. They don’t just slap talents onto a tree and call it a day. There’s ranges for what’s acceptable. Capstones are allowed to be stronger for example. Exsang is a middle tier talent that was stronger than those capstones and so blizzard saw it as necessary to bring it in line to where the target is. That’s just how game balancing works
but the problem if they buff crimson is we face a spot where it might be good to use it on single target
sounds like a them problem
and i didn't like that in... bfa? was it?
each class has its designer for a good reason
then many classes might need stronger capstones
Move the upcoming reworked Ex to capstone and swap it with IC so we get at least one aoe option on the right side of the tree plz
yea true
that's a good option too
warrior has the whirlwind shit on the right side pretty early on
it would make sense to have more aoe earlier on
Wouldn't exsang get more powerful as time goes on as well? So better to nip it in the bud now instead of potentially crutching on it later?
tbh i just hate having to take exsang to get iron wire
that's my biggest gripe of all
What
MA is pretty close in dslice, no ?
@tame slate it only increases your damage that you're already doing it is based on percentage
I am asking if exsang would be affected as we get more ilvl and stuff but shadeflayer answered it
Do we have to do the scaling talk again
Yes pls
i mean we can still spread dots in aoe without ic, its a cd that lets us spread much faster
getting ct early is much more important since its our actual aoe spender
which is already the case
Wyrmcrest accord buddy
The absolute asinine thing is that people are making dumbass statements like "this wasnt justified" or "this is totally the wrong approach", when the recent months have had us have the team-lead for the class design be active on discord, and discussing changes and nerfs and buffs with the community. As a result we've probably had the best buffs and nerfs to bring our class out of the gutter that it was in after the aura-reset.
If these nerfs/buffs are unjustified, then idk how else youd nerf other than putting up two dartboards, writing some abilities and numbers on each of them, and have people in the office throw darts at them.
I miss when rupture proccd bomb in legion
well it got a higher proc rate out of losing rupture so
Yeah, IC into IW seems like a good fit too.
what are the sim settings to properly sim dungeon cleave for assa?
🍿
dungeonslice for dungeons
Regardless I'm just happy we are trying to get away from the old talent trees and something different is being attempted
So I’m 370 and doing 25k on single target dummy, is that super low or what’s normal for that ilvl
dungeonslice
okidoki
sim with target dummy instead of patchwerk
i think alyx meant in game
That seems low
yes, that'll show them what they should be doing
Also depends on time on dummy etc
oh i see what you're saying cee
no execute on dummies
It’s 25k sustained, burst is like 35-40
main thing is to sim and try to target close to that number
if you're in that rough range it should be fine
im new to the class and im doing roughly the same numbers on a dummy, do with that info as you want 😉
its never going to be exactly what the sim says because of variance and stuff like that
I’m not much higher ilvl than you, so it should be a bit higher I think
what is your opener alyx, are you doing the standard opener
cause that makes a huge difference
Lol I just stayed playin sin today so that’s probably part of it
Ofc. Practice makes perfect!
@glass gyro are you playing kingsbane
No I read that dragon and kings are similar
kingsbane has a higher single target
They are later, and probably still now.
no
It does not
DTB is higher ST now

Always best to sim what’s best etc etc
Best way to use the damnable puzzle box? The cast hurts my feelings.

unequip it
prepull then before cds
@simple ore i can't help but notice your name is yellow, can i interest you in this ability called mutilate
That's what I've been doing so far.
Did they make it pull us out of stealth last night / this morning?
I'm assassin in stealth, use detection and you'll see
It doesn’t break stealth.
it does break stealth
It pulled me out at the target dummy this afternoon both times I was using it
Maybe it's because I was using it in a different spec?
Sounds like I should.
REAL rogues can stealth in brackenden hollow.
Or maybe something broke since then idk
I have had no problems as outlaw in dungeons , was going to practice sin for bosses and that's when I noticed
Ahh, so only in sin?
Tfw you use shroud to skip a pack in bracken the whole time your group is saying this isn't going to work
Possibly, I left for work before trying it in outlaw again.
I just want to be able to move during puzzle channel.
So I did some more research to make sure I got the bug-acknowledging UI patch right. You can't keep multiple ERs of animacharges rolling (even without reverberation). Once you recast ER, you have the new ER's animacharges rather than the old one. Still definitely busted, since you can start a pack with 8 effective animacharged points if you defer your opener ER a bit, but easier to track right.
My savior! I can hear the groans over discord already when I tell them I got a great idea from the rogue discord!
I heard you could move with the puzzle box cast in ptr from someone. That would have made it way less painful.
I run with dh, dh, shaman, druid. I already feel like I'm DK 2.0 😦

Do you spend at 5 combo points chance the loss of a combo point and spend at 6?
god if i don't love grappling hook though lol
Would you mind sending a pic, cant acces the spreadsheet from my phone for some reason
@balmy dome for envenom or rupture?

mine is 50k, I need to recraft my crafted gear for better stats but overall it looks good

48.5k with 376 MH
My sims are looking like straight doodoo

I'm on 31crit, 9tempo, 28master, 10versa. Should I change something?

I'm kinda lost about the spark of ingenuity, what would you guys advise to use it on?
I would wait until we get clarification from blizzard, seems that right now embellishments are bugged
but you'd make lariat neck & OH daggie
also embellishments possibly seeing a tuning soon
so just hang on for a bit
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iSAGKHqkGjZ4YpEUXWJFM7 see though? My dmg profile is shit right now.... Without enchants im at like 45k... Feels low for my IL... having same issue with Outlaw =/
cheers bud
im simming higher with primal ritual shell but i think thats bait
did you swap it to fire
the fire buff was stealth buffed by 10%
it trucks now
really. not even sure how raidbots sims that trinket or how you choose the buff
dragonflight.primal_ritual_shell_blessing=flame
I'd assume the mastery one would be just =wind
Holding off on enchants though until we finish heroic
yeah it's =wind
default it sims is wind though
so you could just make another profile set and put the flame buff
thanks for the heads up!

Bet @gusty mirage that bag was super ez to get

!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
do i just sim like 2 times, one with the string in the custom like this
and a second time witout it? cuz the default is mastery?
are we gonna be using ST phials to fights except for the council one in the raid?
easiest way to do it is you slap your input into an advanced sim then put this under it:
copy="Turtle Fire"
dragonflight.primal_ritual_shell_blessing=flame
yeah you can sim a specific turtle buff like that
but to compare them you'd need two profile sets
ah i just did that in 2 seperate sims, nvm then
tyty
Has blizz said anything about embellishments yet?
i used icy veins leveling guide but its probably not the best
hmm thanks will use that
Not yet. We’re waiting

Can anyone give me a brief rotation / opener guide for DTB assa st spec?
Ty
Tuning for what
Wonder if blade flurry or CB is getting touched 
Warlock and mage buffs inc
good thing Assa exists 
embellishments

This shit makes me anxious. I hate when shit like this gets changed after people have spent sparks
Ultimately makes me anxious about spending sparks down the line in case there's more tuning
U can recraft embellishments tho? Once they fix the possible bug
should be able to ye
Sure. But that assumes they don't make like, boots OP
Fair point
You can change embellishments in one slot, but your spark is still fucked if the slot bis changes
@gusty mirage Idk if I'm fucking up the primal ritual shell sim or they are really that close. Both dungeonslice and patchwerk showed that they are pretty much identical
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
is there a reason that on the ST specs on rogue point side that the KB one use master poisoner and the "sustain" one not? If its just for utility gauge/tricks i think on raid its better for me to improve the atrophic on sustain too
think m+ matches raid?
Hmm?
that spreadsheet just shows m+
Post sim let me try 
shows ST too so I suppose that = raid, just seeing ST or dungeonslice vs riad
So when you click the sim to the right and go in there isn’t a set of gear and talents 
thankfully we do

Kinda curious; what are your opinions on rotation helper addons such as hekilli for rogues?
They are not the best way to learn and can make you develop bad habits
Thanks! I figured, however I just wanted to make sure going into the raid
Guys does Raidbots have a issue at calculating some kind of buff or proc? If I sim it shows that I do 50k overall, also at other rogues it shows around the same numbers. But I have not seen a single rogue doing 50k ST. Sim options - Patchwork 1 Boss, ST, 5 Minutes without Aura Buffs
Do you play 100% perfectly?
If yiu sims with the proper buffs
You should be able to hit the numbers on a dummy
Very close to them at least, sometimes even pass them
Yeah sim might also be giving you windfury and stuff
Of course not 100% perfect but still not that weird that I miss around 20k overall
You’re either simming the incorrect buffs or playing incorrectly
I checked the buffs, I turned them off and they are also not listed in the opener rota of the patchwork
I will change it and note it here
Unless you disabled that
Where, right now, do we do 5 min fights
On a target dummy 🙂
Legenda was saying they didn't see rogues hitting 50k ST IG
I doubt they were measuring other rogues on dummies
I didn't see any kind of rogue, either stream or on a big rare mob doing more then 50k overall
That's delusional
Legenda, what you should do is make a whatever duration dummy sim, no buffs
s assassination rogue easier to play than surv hunter in pvp?
Then practice for the same duration
There you'll see if you do something clearly wrong
So I re-simmed with other options, actually turned of every kind of raid buffs because raidbots was actually using older runes & buff food for the sims and no we end up at 40k overall and that's more likeable to hit
Link the sim
Yea, I did 3 minute fight time now
execute
@spice spire I simmed the trinket in quick sim, fire had like 500 more dps in patchwerk and 300 more in dungeonslice. I probably just didn't know how to sim it in advanced lol
So we end up with only one cd window
Be careful, patchwerk sims include execute
You want to disable variable time as well
Just to be clear we are like insanely far ahead in ST compared tto outlaw right
outlaw monkaW
You don't execute dummies however
tier lists are memes
Just wanted to make sure, 50K seems a bit too high to surpass, maybe hit
wowhead tier lists are memes
WHich makes me mad
Dude I know that is why I'm gonna flame them
But we are indeed like 10k ahead right
!fuu

Yo could you link the source^^?
to what
A bit less now with exsang nerf i believe ?
wowhead?
But it's troll
Fuu's says 6k ahead
I don’t understand how outlaw can go UP by having assa nerfed

They're big brain
It is determined that there will be 2 rogues in S no matter what
only 1 rogue spec can be good
The point is that they think Assa will see less play and thus be the worse spec out of the 2, pushing Outlaw higher.
sin was the only thing keeping outlaws power checked
That makes 0 sence
Their reasoning is like, since you'll get less out of sin, outlaw will see more play, ergo better ranking
Just because one ofthem is worse doesn't make the other better
Compared yes
But not compared to all other specs
Right 
My favourite activity

I deleted my warrior
I shit you not I have a fotm guy in-guild that lives and dies by tierlists
Every single patch
paladin too
He's simply better
WoW tier lists are the worst thing to exist.
So would you rather he parsed high on survival hunter or havoc DH
Unless we're comparing waifus
Boss damage is overrated
lets gooo
Sin is better m+ than raid btw
Especially in RWF kappa
i agree with that, actually
its just
fight design doesnt really favor assa
isn't it like... sub > outlaw > sin for m_?
But yeah kind of a cuck with the current design
no
Sin bis always
outlaw is considered THE m+ spec still
change my mind
hmmm
You see lacking cleave, I see not giving a rats ass about useless padding
takes a bit to ramp up damage
higher number = neuron activated
When ww monks exist
idk, with IC im dropping 150k+ on bigger pulls every other pack
Yeah I love just absolutely shredding one target
Idc if my overall sucks ass
but that wowhead article says Assa is the worst M+ rogue spec /s
tierlists suck without context
Being 15%+ ahead on boss damage feels fucking good bro
I mean numbers says that is true
iron wire > outlaw
might have to try that one out 👀 I usually just go outlaw when i'm doing M0s
so many mechs rogues can just ignore
Also they still have marksman in D tier
EEven tho it's numbers are on par with BM
I love this man
mine was that close 2
are you just running the M+ cleave build that is pinned?
I can vouch for IC and iron wire being absolutely insane
@trim zinc I simmed in quick sim and fire seemed to be clearly better, the advanced thing didnt probably work like i did it
I played my first round of m0 with a leveling build (st)
Doing the m+ build does insane dmg with great control
Silencing the whole pack at the start is so handy in a lot of these dungeons

IC pulls are freaky. We did a garden pull in Academy, I ended up around 170k for a few moments
ye
Frontloading all your aoe and then prio with kb and dm feels real good
Bet, i'll give it a run tonight
My only issue is that for now, bursting on prio is very not worth it
I've been wondering if you can IC, shadow meld, and get iron wire
We loose like half our CD on the target that dies way too fast
Seems like nelf would be great with IC in that case
meld is a bit awkward
Yeah it'll be interesting to see how it shakes out in high keys
cuz you need to manually stealth
Ahh
and you quickly get put in combat again if youre inside the pack
so in order to get a meld restealth
you usually have to run away from the pack a bit
From pushing decently high keys in the past, the mass silence immediately jumps out at me as insanely good
to not get proximity aggro immediately again from all your dots ticking
its a solar beam thats like 3times as big in its aoe
while giving the tank an iron bark
And does ridiculous damage lol
I have found it awkward in some spots
Waiting in stealth
For a grip or knock to get the mobs grouped up
But I'm sure that will be fine when tanks get used to it

Idiot here, what is this IC y’all are talking about?
indiscriminate carnage
and idk
IC garrote range is kinda huge
if mobs are in massgrip range
theyre in garrote range
Ty amigo
Yeah, i was trying outlaw out a bit but really cba, hope sin IC build wont dissapoint in higher keys
there are also places like Bracken that like 99% of the mobs are immune to silence and stuns it feels like
And i assume if the silence doesnt land, neither does the damage reduction
what should i be using my spark of ingenuity on?
as of now, nothing
i used mine on wrists since we get 2 next week
also is that cobalt ring worth getting?
yes
how bad of a grind is it
3-4h for me it was
how does it compare to other rings of the same ilvl with stats instead of the proc?
better
completely superior
any idea what level it's equivalent to?
Proc is 7% dmg in 12 mil done; a mix of pvp-pve for me atm; to give you rough idea
i'm more interested in how soon it'll be replaced, lol
all of the gear this week will be replaced asap
What is the max crit % you want to reach before thinking about other stats?
What sim says I guess
there are no tiers for crit from my understanding you stack it as high as you can
does sub out dps us in ST with the exang nerf?
but always sim for upgrades
no
exsang wasnt that big
exsang was pretty big
??
6% seems pretty big
it was 6% dps nerf overall
but we stil on top st
i think it's close now between sub and assa in theory i.e. patchwerk
oh with DT i see
but assa probably better for prog considering it has execute damage and is more resistant to downtime
I think 100%
oh yea dumb question but do the sims account for execute
they do
well
if you sim a fight type that has it
:P
target dummy sims don't have execute
sub does more damage outside of execute, assassination does more during execute, but the latter is usually preferable
yeh kinda depends entirely on how much you value execute
sorry if this question has been asked 980 times but with the exsang change do we still take it in most scenarios?
meanwhile devastation evoker damage dwindles as the fight goes on 
not with DTB
yeah I like the mastery though because their main cooldown gives them full effect
it's pretty sick
good interaction
so the dtb ST build you dont, but like the KB IC build for m+ you still would?
in m+ you can go either way
Max is legit talking about how outlaw got put up a tier because sin got nerfed
Hilarious
Why does simc do a different opener?
I had no input in that tier list btw and I don't think guy their
they just took the old tier list and yolo'd it
because simc doesn't optimize openers
Oh I didn'tt think so either, thought it was just the usual tettles + dratnos random.org tier

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
So for the 2 raid specs Im guessing KB/Exsang is for farm more or less and DT build for everything else?
KB for execute is often good in proc
You still get execute with DTB tho right
yeah in the new builds it's 2/3 points in it
more important, which setup has less buttons? thats the real decider
Do you have example of the new build @slim hamlet or is it in the FAQ already?

Thanks
is there a reason that on the ST specs on rogue point side that the KB one use master poisoner and the "sustain" one not? If its just for utility gauge/tricks i think on raid its better for me to improve the atrophic on sustain too or do i miss something?
FaQ and the sheet both
it's just utility pick whatever you want
ok thanks
I will always be doing MP in raid
Off of Fuu's Sim spreadsheet which build is best for mythic's; Eight Target or Dungeon Slice build?
Dungeonslice
@balmy condor thanks
AoE sims are just for theoretical comparisons
oh, okay...thanks!
Np
I'm thinking of crafting 2 daggers, what should be the 2 secondary stats I put on them?
Crit mast
Okay thank you I thought so
I would of thought haste would of been super useful but I am assuming we get diminishing returns at a certain point that makes it not as good?
I think Haste isnt good on rogue because it doesnt reduce gcd
what's the reasoning behind not taking IC for mythic's?
which one is the build with IC?
How important is SBS? Would that point not be useful to do 3/3 Zoldyck?
The one labeled kingsbane+carnage
I feel like IC will be better in M+ but rn it feels slow since its only up every other pull
But those pulls where it works are so sexy
oh, is that in the FAQ? I dont see it on Fuu's sheet
It’s 2% to lethal dose and 5% damage and a fuck ton of combo points
Oh, yeah we have our own for assa
!whispyr

I agree
I simmed myself a dungeon slice between KB/IC and DTB there is about a 600dps difference for me.
@balmy condor oh sweet! Thanks!
DTB is ahead of kingsbane for me by 1.2% 😭
I'm wondering if the switch between IC and DBT will be made on personal preference and or what the affix of the M+ will be.
That’s basically what every sin build is
You can play dtb or kb in either situation
And it’s just preference
You’re not going to notice 1% differences let’s get real
The only thing you notice is the sim says one number is higher
1% of 0 is still 0
is it possible to do DTB + IC?
is the idea to not use exsang if you're going dtb?
Correct
No
bummer
right 😉
Giga dumb
oh woops the doomblade and exsang icons are the same kekw
Being hard locked into 6/10 points for the bottom of the tree
is there any reason we're using deadly instead of instant with dtb?
we're just running elemental chaos in raid right?
or does it just sim higher
!Whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
Deadly is just a better version of instantt
tooltip always has the answer
so we run deadly + ampli with the current DTB build

so corrupting rage is the play even with the drawback
Depends I guess
oof never knew subsequent applications of deadly were the same damage as instant
tooltip bis
Yeah, amp poison applications are the same damage as well
Would always rather be safe in proc
that's interesting

The primal whetstone not even being 0.1% dps increase is insane to me
Whispyr has something cooked up on wowhead
:0
oh idk if itt's for bg
It is
Spreadsheet uses it as the baseline comparison
Which is why it’s 0.0
still mad at u whispyr 😛
damn, seems like dtb is a lot easier to maintain than the KB build and does more dps outside of execute
are we trying to use shiv within ER windows too?
for dtb*
dtb is shiv on cd.
lmfaoooooooooooo

anyone know the best time to use puzzle box in your opener
hey, regarding whispyrs new spreadsheet, i dont need to play
for good results? this is helping a lot xD

who created this uwu thing with 

Correct
@balmy condor have u seen pikaboos new assassination arena build? it's pretty banger and a bit different from your burst build
Before Deathmark without exsang, after ER with exsang
I’ve never pvp’d a day in my life brother
heresy
pikaboo just be choosing shit with a blindfold on
DTB is only for true chads
The pvp builds are meant as a starter to pvp for casuals
makes sense
It’s not an in-depth optimal pvp guide
Wowhead couldn’t keep their pvp writers
Not enough clicks to make it worth
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
So they’re like “just make a pvp thing as a part of your guide”
that's unfortunate but it hhappens
Yeah
I mean if there’s no interest
And no money in it
Wowhead is still a Company
They’re trying to make money
even so if theres not enough interest it's probably not worth still hhaving
regardless of the money it'd generate, that's just another layer for sure
Yeah but it takes like an hour or two of work from me to slap some basics into a pvp page
That’s still worth
more clicks for you 😄
im happy for all your success too it's awesome. Glad you're killin it helping out so many people
Yeah I don’t get paid by click sadly
I get paid a flat for patch updates and hourly for updates past that
he's in it for the chicks
If I would be in it for the money, I would lock my sims behind a patreon like azor and switch to a pay for review model
Don't even know who that is

High school sweethearts :)
Holy shit
(i was just joking tho)
that doesn't happen
thats cute af lol
We got together during the summer break after sophomore year
That means nothing to me
We were in marching band together, she was a clarinet player and I was a trumpet player
dont know what high school nor sophomore is
a WoW player with an actual girlfriend? what is this madness
lol i had to search what sophomore is
Uh guess it would be 10th grade
Or whatever
Idk how your school system works
Yeah we have 0-9th grade
optional? is this the 1930s?
and then 10th is optional either in normal school or like a school you live on
We have 1-5, then 6-8, then 9-12, and then uni
we have 0-9th grade 2 and after that 3 more years thats like high school
but nothing is optional
no division
How weird
Then gymnasium 1st-3rd is the most popular - then university - then extended and stuff
