xD don't judge me tbh, i'm learning. i didn't even know that poison that you mentioned @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

far enough away from civilization to where they perhaps won't hear a gunshot

echo geyser
balmy condor
#

I want to take them duck hunting that's all

echo geyser
balmy condor
#

I hope there's no freak accident

balmy condor
#

maybe I miss the duck or something

strange python
#

@balmy condor please be gentle with whomever said such blasphemy. They might have a crayon or two lodged in the frontal lobe.

balmy condor
#

that would be awful

trim zinc
#

Beat him with the duck

orchid wind

#

whatchu guys think?

also is there a way to sim pieces of gear I do not have?

I get to choose either the gloves or shoulders from vault.

balmy condor
#

you can sim your vault

#

by opening your /simc with the vault open

#

and then going into top gear

#

and selecting the "select all vault pieces" option

stiff geode
#

Whaaaa, didn't realize that, thank you!

balmy condor
#

np

tawdry temple
#

nerf did something or is it insignificant?

balmy condor
#

it lowered our damage by about 4-5%

strange python
#

@orchid wind you're fine. Assa is a bit more complicated than Outlaw so there's bound to be some wild info out there.

@balmy condor does literally write the book on the spec though. So reading through the #assassination-faq completely is the most beneficial to get all the info you need when starting out.

tawdry temple
balmy condor
#

if that's your opinion I guess

iron escarp
#

Would you say sub is stronger if played well? Atm

#

Or kinda close?

orchid wind
balmy condor
#

sub porbably better overall on the fights

orchid wind
#

but it seems to be a joke, so i probably need more information 😄

balmy condor
#

he's the guy on the bus talking to himself

#

just don't make eye contact

grizzled moon
#

haha

orchid wind
#

so can you explain please why my death mark deal so much low dmg, but on sim did a lot ? what am i doing wrong here ?

#

other things seems to be fine

upbeat needle
#

gonna try assa for raid tonight

#

DTB or Kingsbane?

balmy condor
#

sims combine the effects

#

details does not

balmy condor
upbeat needle
balmy condor
#

I mean it's the same damage and if you can't explain to me why you need to play kingsbane other than "I want to", you probably shouldn't

night delta
#

would you recommend KB on rasz ?

balmy condor
#

no

night delta
#

for the shields

#

ok

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

if you need shield damage

#

sure

upbeat needle
#

so dtb it is

balmy condor
#

kingsbane is good for the shields

#

but it's not anything crazy

night delta
#

got it

strange python
dense herald
#

I think by the time we all get to m raza shields won’t be an issue

balmy condor
#

for example right

#

my deathmark? giga shit

#

terrible bleed

#

does no damage

#

sims tho

#

kinda big

limber lion
#

WOAH that's crazy!!

night delta
balmy condor
#

sims combine the duplicated effects

#

so deathmark?

#

still giga shit bleed

bitter turret
#

what that's nuts

balmy condor
#

but deathmark with the duped effects

#

not giga shit

orchid wind
bitter turret
#

so don't run deathmark?

orchid wind
#

i see

limber lion
#

got it, playing ttb instead of deathmark

balmy condor
limber lion
balmy condor

is there a way to make details keep my segment going on training dummies when I vanish?

bitter turret
limber lion
dense herald
limber lion
#

Instead of "Damage Done", there's one called "Dynamic Damage Overall" or something like that

#

That doesn't reset and updates like the normal damage meter would

woeful cipher
#

tfw i dont sim highest ST in the raid anymore 😦 damn enhance and arcane mages

trim zinc
balmy condor
#

I'm getting beat in patchwerk by ele

fleet anchor
#

Arcane dodging a similar nerf as everyone else is pretty 🤔

night delta
strange python
#

It's Blizzards favorite class

night delta
#

to have even decent dps as arcane you need quite more skill than a lot of specs, so all the fotm players who don't know the class are giga shit

#

brining stats down I assume

stiff geode
#

Damn, still tough decision even after simming my vault pieces 😄

fleet anchor
#

If we tuned classes by how hard they were to play I think things would look pretty different

limber lion
# night delta my guess would be skill floor

Too bad Assa had a good skill ceiling but Blizzard removed it and then further nerfed the spec because now everyone could play it at a good level because it's so fucking easy

#

pick dtb, put monkey on keyboard

night delta
limber lion
#

WOAH

#

purple parse

#

what a gamer

weak horizon
#

True dtb feels way too easy

night delta
limber lion
#

LMAO as if opener mattered at all for dtb

#

but yeah

kindred rapids
#

True, I thought they were going to at least make kb build better

#

Opener isn't very important

limber lion
#

there's some minmaxing you can do with dtb, but that's mainly to do with tea and 2 charges of shiv

#

if you play 1 charge shiv because you want shadowstep or whatever

#

then it's gg

#

literally nothing else but send 24/7

weak horizon
#

How do you min max around tea?

limber lion
#

Cds are mega important for KB/Exsang, but not at all for dtb

night delta
#

yeah, managing tea and shiv charges to send in sync without either wasting energy or shiv cd

#

some gigabrain shit

limber lion
#

So you basically want the energy portion and the mastery portion from it

#

Using it during deathmark is bad because you don't get energy

#

Using it outside of cds is good, but not super optimal

#

You always want the energy, but if you can slam down 3 juicy 7cp Envenoms during it

#

it's a bit better

weak horizon
#

Gotcha, is it worth it to try to hold a shiv if you don't overcap for er too?

limber lion
#

You can always hold Shiv so long as you don't overcap

alpine chasm
#

Anyone good at Macros ? Trying to get one to work and it's poopl.

night delta
#

last night my rl asked why I parsed purple on some trys then green on some others with the same boss uptime

limber lion
#

Holding the first Shiv after cds is a good call because you get ER back soon after

#

So you can send Shiv/ER/Tea together when ER comes up

#

without overcapping on any of them

weak horizon
#

Gotcha, I thought I was just supposed to slam shivs

night delta
#

'twas hard to explain without sounding like a scrub

limber lion
#

Nah you slam shivs with 1 shiv

#

with 2 charges you have more leeway

#

But it honestly makes very little difference

limber lion
#

We're not talking 500 dps

#

we're talking 100 dps

#

if that

alpine chasm
#

@balmy condor

weak horizon
#

Ahhh I see, I was wondering why the faq says just cast on cd

limber lion
weak horizon
#

And I guess with that small of a difference it doesn't matter

limber lion
#

If you made a stance macro for Ambush, it would only use Ambush during stealth/dance

#

but not if you get a blindside proc

#

so it's as good as not using it at all

balmy condor
#

I knew

#

the moment I asked

#

I would get an ambush macro

limber lion
#

Bro it's literally

#

stats

#

or ambush macros

night delta
#

Sorry Synthetik, can't macro 2 GCD spells and get it working without something really jank

upbeat needle
#

@balmy condor goddamn bro

#

i just ran the sim

#

DTB vs Kingsbane build is literally 300 dps

limber lion
upbeat needle
#

LMFAO

balmy condor
#

yes

limber lion
#

It's a different thing if you're trying to press them at the same time

#

but he's not even trying to do that

upbeat needle
#

oh no 432

#

same shit

#

sheeeesh

limber lion
#

There's very many form/stance macros people use for Sub/Feral/Boomkin

#

But yeh

night delta
#

I mean I kinda assumed it was the usual ambush / mut thing

limber lion
#

It is

night delta
#

didn't look hard enough

limber lion
#

Where you want to press Ambush with Blindside proc

#

But not Ambush AND mutilate

weak horizon
#

For the kb st build I notice you delay vanish in the opener by a bit. I'm assuming I delay 2nd DM until vanish comes up, right?

@limber lion im talented into dtb but i cant find the button on my action bar anywhere what do i do 😦

hmm. Now my KB is simming close to 1000 more than DtB. It's steadily been getting a larger gap the more gear I've gotten

night delta

since we have better things to do during DM, like putting up poisons

Do you take Exsanguinate for the dragon tempered blades build? One thing says yes, another no

do i take tier piece or whispering incarnate icon from vault?

humble mesa
#

how good are tier sets? if I have 0 piece. I got 2 tier options in vault. (395 and 398) vs a 408 dagger which would replace a 385 offhand. Presumably dagger wins by far, but is our tier so good that this would not be the case?

balmy condor
#

4% per bonus in single target

#

in m+, the 2 piece is basically 0 dps

#

and the 4 piece is about 10%

humble mesa
#

and the dagger would help for pushing up my single target dps anyway (mainhand is 392 dagger right now). think ill go with that since Ive spent more time in m+ but wanted to sanity check

winter sand
#

Are the duplicated bleeds from Deathmark also affected by Exsanguinate? So once all bleeds and duplicated bleeds up Exsanguinate will speed them all up?

humble mesa
#

I believe using exsang when deathmark is up causes a DPS loss

upbeat needle
#

what's best embellishment for dagger

#

the bleed one?

#

fang?

winter sand
#

if that makes sense, haha

trim zinc
#

u can exsng and dm
ya dm will duplicate the exsg bleeds

winter sand
#

but will exang buff the dm if I use dm before exsang?

outer cairn
trim zinc
#

NO

winter sand
#

ok

trim zinc
#

it will fuck the dm

#

like it will make dm faster

#

but thats bad

#

af

#

cuz it half the dm duration

trim zinc
winter sand
#

ok

humble mesa
#

so exsang before DM = ok
DM before exsang = not ok?

trim zinc
#

yes

@balmy condor You told me about simming from vault, do you know if it can be simmed from an open vendor window?

Trying to check out the 385 pieces from primal storms.

gusty mirage
#

you can sim it without the benefits of the set bonuses on droptimizer

stiff geode
#

I don't see those options anywhere in Droptimizer

spice spire
#

Do that first

#

I thought: maybe it’s premium only, logged out and it’s still there

stiff geode
#

I been using the SimC addon to paste the code from it

#

Oooooo, it only works if you fetch it from realm/char name.

wowhead tooltip

:)

#

all the tooltips across the wide world are wowhead integrations

#

simc and raidbots are the same

#

so if there's a tooltip error

#

that either routes back to wowhead

#

and then it routes back to the game

#

cause wowhead tooltips are just datamined

@balmy condor I was on Zero stream and he post something like this LC > Garrot Garrot > rapture > eco > CT so i understand everything other but not LC asked in stream but he dont notice

restive falcon

if i were to use my puzzle box, when would be the most optimal time to use it, i hate the cast time on it

raven vapor
#

just before deathmark

balmy condor
#

We did this earlier

restive falcon
#

cause this was my sim and i used the box on my ww/unholy and it just felt clunky and i feel on my rogue it will feel bad but the mastery is just so good

raven vapor
#

it does feel bad, but it is what it is

restive falcon

either way im gonna have to run double on use

dire lodge

do u have two sets of gear for sub / ass already

my sub gear does not sim very friendly at all for sin

Probably going to be like mettle or some garbage

#

Hey Whispyr noticed the sim sheet import string vs the raidbots sim are different specs? Like the Exang import is the non exang version?

balmy condor
#

O

#

Uh

#

Can’t fix that atm

#

Holiday party soon

#

Raidbots is the updated one Obv

No worries, that's what I figured.

regal hamlet
#

bronzed worth the extra 40k gold over fang adornments? i see a lot of rogues using fang still but idk if thats just because they havent recrafted since the earlier bug

gray hazel
#

I was seeing the same thing. didnt see any rogues use bronzed (mind you only looked at like 4 hah)

#

but i cant imagine it being that much better than fang

balmy condor
#

It scales with ilvl

ancient peak
#

oh I don't know what each proc does

#

I"ll look that up

balmy condor
#

And eventually it’s like 0.2% better or whatever

balmy condor
gray hazel
#

Yeah, the FAQ has it at 0.3% better

balmy condor
#

Yeh

ancient peak
balmy condor
#

It’s just an rng effect that scales with ilvl while fang is consistent and doesn’t

balmy condor
gray hazel
#

didnt realize bronze scales with ilvl

ancient peak
#

ah thanks whispyr

gray hazel
#

that would make it more of an invesment later on

assuming we will still be uising it in future tiers

might be cheaper down the line too though

It’s one giga list

And the only control i have

Is “turn line item x on/off”

#

So now I gotta make the list work for kb, dtb, kb exsang, dtb exsang

#

And it should all just toggle flawlessly

#

And it doesn’t

Because the opener has changed 25 times

oh wait, i was thinking backwards, i see what ur saying

balmy condor

It’s actually kinda funny tbh

#

You could nerf exsang to slow down your bleeds

rocky ruin
#

ok so is this rotation correct, garrote, Echoing, rupture, exsanguinate, deathmark, than reapply those when they run out? ST rotation

balmy condor
#

And it would turn into a buff

#

Isn’t that wild

rocky ruin
#

and u wanna use vanish before reapply the second garrote during deathmark ye?

#

i could be wrong though

balmy condor
#

Yah

idle coyote
#

Whispyr I’m simming at 450k, can you explain why I lost literally 50k on my sim, rogue is unplayable

balmy condor
#

90k to 87k is reasonable

#

That would be baller

#

I’m pretty sure it was 92k

hexed root

sin still best ST? 🥺

It is not

hexed root
#

oh no 😦

balmy condor
#

I snapped like a twig earlier when people were talking execute as a damage profile

#

Holy it gets my blood boiling

idle coyote
#

Sry Whispyr I’m running KB for execute

grizzled ruin
#

i prefer for assas to not be best spec-maybe they ll stop nerfing the spec every 3 days

strange python
#

Hahahahaha

light goblet
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
slow needle
balmy condor
#

Not a better profile

#

There are very niche situations where execute is better

#

And they do not exist in this raid

slow needle
#

Would you not say that Diurna and Raszageth fit that situation?

hexed root
#

seems like the specs are still the same, no major changes there?

balmy condor
#

I would indeed not say that

slow needle
#

Huh. Fair enough.

balmy condor
#

Raszageth is the most bait “execute good” fight that has every existed

#

The phase is fucking timed

true thorn
#

oh wow my vault is giving pvp tier set gloves, seems tempting

balmy condor
#

More overall damage = less time in the painful last phase

#

If raz phased at 25% or whatever

#

It would be a very different story

#

But it’s just on a timer

slow needle
#

That is a very good point.

balmy condor
#

And diurna same thing

#

You’re on the egg timer

#

If you get into last phase and the boss is already 3% lower

#

That’s 3% you don’t need to do

#

And you actually help the rest of your raids damage

#

Cause warriors are forced to execute

#

They can’t just talent out of it for something else

#

We can

#

You’re actually just improving the overall raids damage profile by letting forced execute be good at forced execute

#

And you buff your damage

#

And you make the earlier phases easier

#

It’s just nothing but W’s

#

But people will look at a fight and go “OOK LAST PHASE HARD EXECUTE GOOD”

#

Not realizing that you’re stuck in that phase regardless

slow needle
#

Can you stop using logic and good reasoning to be right?

#

I wanna argue but you make it hard xD

balmy condor
#

Denathrius was an execute fight

#

You actually just phase at x%

#

And then you got a dps race

#

That’s execute

#

That’s important

hexed root
#

phial still sophic?

slow needle
#

In all seriousness. Fair points.

balmy condor
#

Phial still Vers if anything

balmy condor
grizzled ruin
#

so i guess u run dtb build into raids then whispyr?

balmy condor
#

I do yes

grizzled ruin
#

with exang instead of 1 point in zold or?

balmy condor
#

Nope zold is still the best overall damage

#

You just use the faq builds

#

On raz you might want to play kingsbane for the shields

#

But that’s for the on demand damage

#

Not the execute

#

And I’m honestly not convinced it makes that much of a difference

grizzled ruin
#

its a shame rly that theres no real benefit going kb spec etc

#

spec is more fun to play that way

balmy condor
#

Just wait for another round of dtb nerfs PepeLaugh

#

Next their gonna hit improved poisons

grizzled ruin
#

i mean yea that should be around friday again

balmy condor
#

And then kingsbane will be 0.3% ahead instead of behind

grizzled ruin
#

and then suddenly around week 4 or 5 when ppl will have 4sets we ll end 8th in meters and hunters will be magically 20k ahead

#

but there will be no compensates till next patch

#

all good

balmy condor
#

Should’ve sandbagged the sims for week 1 overall logs

#

well nerf is around 4% and we sim around 95k or w.e

#

u dont even have to sim

hexed root
#

SEE IT WAS 95k

#

but now we sim like 87

grizzled ruin
#

pray it stays at 87

Quick, I just got grieftorch. How do I best use this

Just garrote then cast it -> rotation

hollow gyro

do dots increase the stacks on the lorewalker stonestep boss in temple of the jade serpent?

if i mainly play outlaw for keys and assa for raid should i craft lariat with crit/mastery or crit/vers?

hollow gyro

probably crit mastery since vers is worse for assa than mastery is for outlaw

on the dbt build we not taken bloodly mess?

help me out here because maybe im an idiot.. does deathmark duplicate existing bleeds or bleeds applied after the deathmark?

so for the DTB opener.. when do I use exsang??

#

its taleneted but its not part of the opener?

misty holly
#

use it before Deathmark

#

Then use it on cooldown after that. Pandemic your bleeds before activating.

upper trail
#

strange that whispyr doesnt have it in the DTB opener is that a mistake?

balmy condor
#

I don’t recommend dtb with exsang anywhere

upper trail
#

i was reading the FAQ wrong

#

looking at picture above

#

like a fool

#

DTb still simming roughly equal to ic/KB in general?

Yes

light kestrel

Is seal of diurnas chosen bis because of the ilvl, or are we able to proc it?

balmy condor

You change embellishments to lariat/cowl in order to proc it

#

Which means you also have to get the 5th tier piece

#

And get a dagger

#

Since you would keep lariat

Ahh, gotcha

#

and even if it wasn't, you vanish garrote at the end of your opener

#

so you clipped that one by like 10 seconds

#

the rest looks pretty good though tbh

#

might be gear, kill time, etc

#

I didn't look super deep into it

#

envenom uptime could be a little higher, but >90% seems to be fine for the most part

#

depends on secondaries as well

sour hinge
#

Did I cancel out the exsang garrote by clipping it?

keen spruce
#

oh u know what

#

I forgot about exang

#

I don't play with it

#

I wish there was a way for the IC/KB build for M+ to also receive SBS

#

tbh 4:20 second Terros is gonna hurt you a bit. kill time also lined up poorly with your CDs. your last deathmark was like 1s before kill

sour hinge
#

yeah that's true

keen spruce
#

speed kills are down around 2:30

#

overall the rotation looked prety good though, didn't notice any glaring mistakes

I remember back in Legion there was an auto analyzer tool for logs

Does that still exist

keen spruce
#

haven't been updated to my knowledge

for DF

yet

marsh rover
#

so do you triple garrote in opener? I'm reading the faq and there is a section ontriple garrote but the openers dont mention it

keen spruce
#

but I don't think they're gonna help too much, those are normally for really new people

keen spruce
sour hinge
#

I do but I parse like shit so

marsh rover
keen spruce
# sour hinge I do but I parse like shit so

could be a combination of gear, kill times, secondaries. your trinkets aren't great either. I normally just sort by timeline and casts to look over logs for rotation. then look at the buffs tab to make sure your uptime is correct on all the stuff that's important (rupture, garrote, envenom, etc)

Hi all! New here and new to rogue! Found this discord from a wowhead article by Whispyr.

Does anyone know of a written/youtube guide on learning the meta-game of a rogue? I understand the rotations, I understand the openers, but I'm really struggling to reset during 2v2, and I can't seem to ever survive a DH or Monk, and I just can't find sources on this.

For context on how much I'm struggling, Im at 225 games in 2v2's at 1211 rating. Never had to try this hard to win, granted, I've been playing with anyone who will join just so I can practice.

As much as we hate on infexious, he at least copy pasted guide info for the most part when he was around

#

He had weird opinions on stuff

#

But the meat of the guide was just pin and guides

#

And it was fine

#

But a lot of other random 1 off YouTubers just kinda do their own thing

#

And it ends up being some weird garbage

#

It’s super weird

looking at equipped ilvl is also misleading

if they have higher ilvl weapons than you

you can eventually craft up to a 418 weap
