okay and?
they still get PI+Autumn
man
getting 5 PIs and Autumn
and he does
3mil more dam
insane
well even looking at non external logs even then the best arcane mage beats every public assa log 65 to 0
maybe all public assa logs are dogs or sth idk
this is wild
maybe the greyparsing 0-parse assa rogue in your guild does, ye
i mean, id like an actual source other than "my butt"
arcane mage basically does
same dam
as assa

and once we remove
actual shield dmg
theyre getting beat by like
10 specs
but hey, they can do great burst with a 200% damage amp. sick.
yeah, but the best arcane mage without externals does more damage than the best assa rogue without externals, unless theres some unlisted logs that im unaware of
isnt it .333 shield damage
5 PIs isnt externals?
oh was that the wrong log sec
no idea i made up a number
too many tabs open
but hey
bottom line is weighted damage
i was meant to show the frostytips and lissmage guy
i mean they look even worse on non-absorb damage

arcane is great for popping shield. but its also great for popping shield early, which is a waste if healer CDs are planned for 18/20/20 seconds of stormsurge
cuz that dmg could instead go into boss HP
im not saying arcane is a bad spec, btw. its definitely one of the best for raszageth raw boss damage
it goes into boss hp tho, the timers are dont start rolling after shield break (apart from 3rd shield since it insta phases almost immediately after that)
what do you do for shield as sin btw
talking about heroic for now
i kinda save CDs for first one
then on 2nd i'm pretty dry
so the faster u break a shield the more time u have to do damage on the boss
DM on 1-3, whatever else you have on 2
so usually like
puzzlebox+DM on 1, grieftorch/shiv etc. 2
but you just do regular singletarget
i tend to grieftorch the second since i have nothing else
but if you dont have grief then thats not an option
what seli said
grief benefits from the damage amplification?
its actually the exact reason why it makes no difference. if timers continued rolling through shield, breaking it early would get you more DPS uptime where boss isnt absorbing. but it doesnt. so you dont actually "gain more damage" by breaking the shield early, you just waste healing CDs.
the timers do continue rolling through the 1st and 2nd shield tho, unless im extremely wrong
so the play would instead be to prolong the shield just enough to be fully covered by healing CDs, and have your CDs clip into the post shield phases where it goes into the boss HP
my logs on rasz are really god aweful. I've only done it twice, once with pug and once with half guild/alts
but like.. 31% sadge 
did you shiv on cooldown
its only the 3rd where the timers arent set in time
idk how much add phase makes a difference but my logs arent great on it either
and i do like
fuck all to adds
i did terros heroic, and checked a comparision for shiv
i only missed 1 cast this time 🙂
improvements!
huh? youre not gonna get sparks or stormwave mid-shield if you break it late. youre not getting 10seconds of free boss damage if you break it super early. its always the same timers after shield breaks, always the same script
they don't really tbh
so breaking early is just a waste of DPS if you couldve used less DPS during stormsurge and more outside, because as long as healers can keep up, you wanna extend shield and just do more dam to boss HP instead
tbf i sit on shiv a fair but ive been pressing it on cd more often lmao
but yeah anyway
i dont disagree that arcane is a good spec
but its carried by getting external'ed to hell in most guilds
rogue does quite a lot more damage to the actual boss
85% raz damage is basically as high as it goes tbh
over half the damage mage does to raszageth in 65-0 is during stormsurge amps
I'll look into being more effective with cds
after next raz if its still dogwater do you mind having a look?
yeh sure
hm maybe this is true, I actually havent double checked this I just quickly glanced this over from logs some time ago and it seemed like the timers were just set in stone not based on shield break
will have to double check that again
my highest is 71
you can actually see everything on the graph
yeah no im saying if u break the shield in lets say 19 seconds, the next ability would come out 1 sec after, instead of 11 if u broke at 9 seconds u know
basically, we used to break 1st shield in like 12sec
and realized
thats a massive waste if we had Cds planned for 18
so we told people to use CDs early and get more damage on the actual boss
and get the shield to 16-18sec duration instead
actually yeah i was still trying to figure out when i could milk another set of cds
intermissions are too quick, nothing to be done
and it got us like 2% extra boss damage
psure if id get PI during stormsurges and execute, id absolutely smoke every single arcane mage out there
i dont like exsang rn tbh
by a lot
I know for sure i fucked up on rasz by holding CDs in both intermissions
also i'm still hesitant on using shiv while on full CPs
and im not even a good assa rogue
i really thought you were smart
but then you realize it doesn't really do much otherwise

useless in intermissions and on third shield and shit
just idk
feels weird
but its just the arcane mage/demolock attitude, they think that all the externals belong to them and then they do good damage and they see that as justification they should keep getting it, even though other classes would shit on them if theyd get it
hol up lemme have a look
but then theyd do tank damage cuz their class is designed around getting those externals for whatever reason
but rn I'm deathmarking pull, first shield, third shield, execute
and thats not good either
intermissions are just praying for poison bomb procs
no cooldowns in intermissions
they won't be up
i got 4 deathmarks in 8 mins
ye you cant DM in intermission, it wont be up for first shield
In dungeons do I want to use exsang on cd or pair with DM only?
thats what 3 exsangs?
depends on the timing really, not really a one-size fits situation
the way raszageth on mythic works out, you only get 3 exsangs, ye
probably similar on hc for most
Ok so just kinda judge it as I go then
yeah but in intermissions i see my dps 📉
1 on pull, 1 in first shield, 1 in execute
welcome to assassination
yeah except I get 3 exsangs on 9:40 in heroic, and 3 exsangs in 14:00 on mythic 
20 seconds before all my cds came back up
telling me welcome to assassination, cringe.
yep
only four DM tho
i actually think that you can technically get 4
if you pop on boss the moment she lands in p2
and shields last ~20sec each
wait no thats good ye?
you should get 4 dm's yeah
i experienced too much black powdering on rasz, i dont think i can go back to assa
so yeah, if shield damage is fine you can get 2 exsang/puzzlers in P2 instead of 1. still only 2 DMs ofc
just gotta pop the moment p2 starts
our P2 lasted from 4:23 to 8:13
wtf was i doing here lmao
vanish for ss but you forgot your spec
my bad there we go
thats not looking much better
hmm @marble hemlock im comparing a random log from you guys to a random log from us and it seems like the ability right after stormsurge seems to happen after x amount of time for both of our guilds, even though we break shield at slightly different timers

ye, psure the timers start when shield breaks
which would from first glance make me think the timers are set in stone no matter when u break the shield unless im missing something else (like weakness or something spell queing the boss wrong)
idk rasz felt very underwhelming, like nothing to omega optimize its all a dance
so you get first wave x seconds after first shield etc.
then first bombs x seconds after first wave
get p1 and first intermission right and then nothing matters
no but it doesnt seem that way from a quick glance
hold on let me link u these logs rq
thats what you just said
so u can double check mby im reading these wrong
despite different shield durations, boss casted next ability x seconds after shield broke
which means timers start when shield breaks
no i meant boss casted next ability x seconds after shield cast
sry must have miswrote
check the boss casts and shield break timers from these
mby im reading these wrong it is a bit early for me so i might just be dumb

my third DM should be on 2nd add phase yes?
?
then i would only get 3
time between first shield cast and next ability after that seems to be 29 seconds in both logs, but u guys broke the shield in 15 seconds and we did in 17 seconds
do you want to kill boss or have a bit better log
ive already killed the boss
you do you
3rd shield is 2min after 1st
https://wowanalyzer.com/report/nkz8arhQgjfN2BKw/1/3
Anyone got some insight for this one? I thought I behaved properly but it was just a 90 parse. On terros I feel like it's kinda embarassing.

Third DM is second shield
Sorry
Third
time between 2nd shield and ability after that seems to be 26.5 seconds in both logs even tho we broke in 16 secs and u guys in 18
DM is pull, shield 1, shield 3, last phase
looking at it i did use on third
but the boss was like
3 seconds away from dying on the 4th
so i need to improve my play inbetween that
also didnt have a food or flask on 🙃
3:49 ain’t great is it
I mean
Still a 90
I don’t think it’s that bad
well, the logs show that shields are cast 80sec after one another, and just looking at the vod from our kill, it seems the other timers also keep running. so timers are set for every mechanic when phase starts. so i was wrong on that part.
it doesnt change the fact, however, that pushing more dmg during shield isnt gaining you dmg on boss if it means you do less outside of shield. you still do the same overall DPS. mage looks good on overall boss damage because they do so much of their overall during their CDs, and since that means theyll have a higher percentage of their overall DPS output during the amp, they look good on meters.
they basically allow others to do more damage by breaking the shield faster, but you could replace an arcane mage with a class that does less damage during the shield but more outside, and if they did the same overall dps (pre-amp) as the mage, youd still do the same damage to the boss
I mean it’s a part of it
Your ring are dogshit, your puzzle box is a low ilvl
It adds up
outside of exsang we only use ER charged cp for envenom yes?
ah okay
i found mage to be incredibly underwhelming on raszageth, after it was hyped up so much. yeah it can carry shield damage, but so can 5 other specs with better survivability and more damage in the other phases, cuz mage is kinda deadweight in the intermissions
shield dmg is overrated
yeah fair enough, i thought i had checked this during prog too and was starting to 2nd guess my sanity
its basically this
remove 10mil from the mage, it'd just be added to all teh others and make no difference as long as the shield doesnt last longer than what your heal CDs cover
i was literally pressing shadow dance on cd during prog, didnt even get it for every shield
You are right, my rings are fucking dogshit
its why calling smth "really good boss damage" on rasza is difficult, cuz youd have to basically take their shield damage, multiply it by .33 and then add that to their non shield damage to get "realdps", and thats the only thing that actually matters for pushing boss dam
the more precise way of checking the p2 damage would be this I guess
making a custom weight for shield damage
ye
basically do
absorbeddamage > 0, weight 0.33333
and add it with
absorbeddamage = 0
ye i just did it with spell id to stormsurge but p much same thing
and mage wouldnt look any better than 10 other classes at that point
assa will also soar in boss dam once people get more damage on rasza in p2
cuz right now you get fucked
cuz you pop BL when boss is at ~40%
so you dont get full set of CDs with BL during execute
95s or nothiiing!
at least assa has other value
like pumping stormfriend damage in 2nd intermission
lusting nowadays is giga awkward
u get lust like 50 seconds into p3
might start lusting p2 or sth idk
kinda defeats the purpose of being able to afk and blast at the start of p3 if u cant have lust straight away there
might be more value to lust as soon as both teams r on p2 platform
but idk how well u time the boss w/o p1 lust
ill be perfectly honest, i dont understand why people think sub is so great for rasz
i definitely think its a good all around spec
only thing its good for is 1st intermission
its a good all around spec that is better than another spec of the same class in one out of 5 phases

it helps with intermission, now the boss' dps check is even more of a joke so boss dam loses a lot of value
and even then its only better if you need more people on red
sub feels useless in 2nd intermission, all it does is red aoe slam
and it does less st in p2 and p3
(even accounting for the shield)
does less stormfiend damage
personally i think its the other way around. sub was great when guilds didnt have 10+ grieftorches and needed the instant bang from cb/sectech to pop herald shields
p2 intermission is less about damage tho, the adds kinda just die anyways its more about getting the CC on point
now that every guild kinda has more than enough trinkets to deal with shields without needing ww/sub/mm burst, those specs are less valuable than before. but thats just my opinion
well sub does so much aoe in p1 intermission that it allows others to do less which i guess means playing the fight safer
u can have your hunter go full ST bm and go red side etc
idk just a solid spec
theres definitely value to all the specs, thats for sure
just gotta see what you struggle with during prog, and play whatever spec helps with that the best
ye
but ye basically the play would be
to not pop CDs insta on rasza p3
but wait for boss to hit 35
BL is still running ~25sec at that point for us
so i wasted a lot of dam there
good to know for next week
we got lust in p3 when boss was like
just above 30%
so ud get another set of 2mins
wouldnt get 2nd set of 3 mins no matter what
so i guess u just hold every time if u play two or 3 mins
might depend on whether you fast-push p1 and how long 2nd intermission takes for you
we had BL when boss landed in p3
probably 2nd intermission
probs fast p2 intermission + early phase p1 + fast 3rd shield break
that would probably add up
but ye boss took full dmg in p3 at 10:12 for us
we were a bit under 10 secs faster than the next guild
Is it worth crafting a 2nd Crafted 418 Dagger, because I have a 405 in offhand...or should I go and Craft 418 Wrists because I got 402 ones with a Socket.
sim!
but 13ilvl on a dagger should be way better than 16ilvl on wrists :P
Also Valor cap being removed soon means those socket wrists will be able to upgraded easily
true
They are Haste/Mastery tho
googly eyes
wait so we lose kingsbane for a mid aoe option but bm hunters get a flat buff to buff their aoe 
The cycle of sin gamers
i finally got it thank god lmao
guys what do we want from our rings ? i went for crit
crit is aways good
hov ring sims better for me than this 😦 sad
How do I remove a bone spike from a training dummy?
basically have to logout afaik
Thanks
Just fly away and back
Just need to outrange the dummy a bit
Can basically just boost once with the drake and then fly back and should be gucci
Grats :)
Grats :)
A socket alone is worth like 15 ilvl on wrists. Definitely get the dagger

That's so old that iWin wasn't even banned
So Dr. T ASMR
btw he still wants to come back
AP/incarn?
which build exactly are you talking about
He means IC
Okay
@balmy condor what does Iwin needs to do to come back. He's been banned for 5 years 😂
I’m still not sure what’s weird about playing ap and carnage
That’s just recommended talents
For m+
Very weird
If he comes back would he change his name to to ulose?
Problem is, Stjern banned him. Not me
I only enjoy vietnam war asmr
I haven’t played AP/IC. The FAQ even says generally not recommended

I might. I know it’s a ST loss so probably wait till next week
Yeah, was looking at it the other day when I'm only doing about 60-80k overalls, depending on the dungeon with the DtB/IC build
Didn't know if its dmg profile was literally all AE
Hopefully they do something other than throw us a new capstone which is only good for one fight
And even on that fight kinda poop
and reduce our build diversity
and fix our god awful class tree which has 1 choice
do i want tea or no tea
which barely matters
thanks blizz
Don't worry
Next patch it's gonna be good.
Next patch

We'll also get 5% buff

We'll have good cleave

Pres evo literally is so op, and got a 3% nerf
Like don't even nerf it at that point
Why does BM needs buff?
Same answer
You are snorting way to much copium if you think we get that buff after the dmg we did at beginning of the xpac
It's like watching frost mage at the beginning of SL ask for a buff and get further nerfed instead
Where can i see the notes?
"how do we keep the sub numbers high", "quick let's release something where if people are logged in and subscribe every month they get a currency! That should keep people right?" -> insert trading post here
idk what a trading post is
The thing that came out this week?
New feature to buy old/unique cosmetics, pets and mounts for in-game currency
That's why the celestial steed isn't in the store anymore
I'm probably one of the only people that just saved the 2k coins and froze the ensemble
I don't really care for transmog, i like using current tier
dont worry
nightstalker fix soon
trust me 
or not forcing assa to spend 50%of its points to be playable with seal fate
or find weakness not making 2dance unplayable for sub, and making shadowdance unplayable for assa and then balance many stealth talents around shadowdance
or fixing sub left side
or fixing assa layout and give it some form or raid aoe/cleave without losing all its ST dmg
its all happening in 2weeks, trust me 
Dont forget extended range not working with your strongest ability
Or making your vanish strike erase u from existance faster then thanos finger snap
You like the choice of 10 energy off or crimson vial or 3% physical damage reduction?
and how often do you play with these many options?
...uh yeah?
his point was, that's the only choice you can play around with
yes my options on assa are
and thats it
did you like the list
Idk if it's reasonable to expect a diverse set of options for every spec
Across the class nearly everything there sees play though
New primal gems gonna fix sin, don't worry

what trinks are you guys using?
we gonna get 4%more dmg trought them 
(meanwhile dh gets +9% trought some interaction or shit like that)
new gems? ;o
Box+icon
I was wondering why lariat 418 (from 405) is a bigger dps upgrade than a 418 dagger from 405)
Is there preferable platform for us on dathea prog?
Couse it is offhand
sadge, welp it is what it is, ill upgrade the dagger second then
main platform
The center one with the boss
if not you can line up vanish with IC/Garrote on the evens
primal gems coming when? isnt it next tier
imagine ever getting a spark
ive picked like 130+ piles of dirt too on my main and did all the chest shit lul

Hi
Can someone tell me a basic strategy in solo shuffle for sun rogue
And where I can copy a talent build

Get a sap and blind off it as an opener. Otherwise maintain bleeds and use kidney. That alone will net a 2.1 or 2.4 lol

That’s it ..
How do you guys restealth in mythic plus?
!spread
press the stealth button when out of combat
if the tank chains you dont restealth
it doesnt actually end up being that big of a deal to chain
chaining is actually decent because you go into new packs with energy from the previous mobs
and potentially scent of blood ruptures
That makes sense.
just try to use your vanish wisely and shadowmeld if ur a nelf
We’ll ty. I’ll try to look at it in a different light
Most of the time id guess not letting u restealth is tanks not thinking about it
And not calculated
Hey guys. Can someone advise me what piece shall I craft. I can craft flaring cowl 418 and remove embelleshment from main hand and equip chest, upgrade the signet or craft the 2nd ring ( landed me 1.5k extra dps)
Please find my logs here: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3TihFv9J2SsTM3nZjih2eV
What’s better, DTP or kingsbane?
Dtb
kingsbane is unplayable rn, you play DtB for everything
Take me out to dinner first babe
😳
Hey guys what % haste do you look for ideally? ive been running at 5.5% and feel super energy starved after the first 20-30 seconds of a pull
you play the gear the sims tells you to
% is irrelevant
if you dont have energy drink tea
How is kingsbane unplayable?
deals no dmg compared to dtb
No wonder my dps has been low
New position makes it kinda dogshit
does anyone happen to have a recently updated PI sim spreadsheet?
@balmy condor is that something you might have kicking around?

Even the sheet done by a random Rl in eu knows how to work it for rogues 
but everyone knows you give it to the udk anyways
I'd give PI to you
over a DK
There’s a sheet somewhere but rogue bad so idc 
That’s fair. I found an early one from week 2 or something and sin was number 3 behind UH/evoker but I figured APLs and stuff wasn’t done yet
APL’s don’t really fix pi values
It just means it can be automated by things like bloodmallet
Yeh that’s the one I found too. Sin number three not too shabby.
Having a debate with gm about PI targets lol
yeah but what are the chances you don't have an unholy dk
or a bm hunter
or a devastation evoker
I see
yeh for most groups it's like
if you're not immediately top 3
you're fucked
Well basically what’s happening is we’re shifting the Healy priest pocket Pi to Uh for his 3m
We have a shadow priest as well
And they’re going on 2m like they’re supposed to
So I’m making the case for it to be on Sin vs Mage specs because of the Pi alignment timings
I did sims for my guild to see which person the pi would be better on
and I lost to the warlock, evoker, hunter, other warlock, and a mage

They’re just like put it on the fire mage
And I’m like for the pull maybe but then they get it outside of combust thereafter
Vs Sin who gets it for every DM because it aligns to SPriest Cds
I think you definitely make the case for execute pi
outside of execute though
seems suspicious
ours goes to UDK/Hunter on opener, Rog in mid, Wars on execute...
The problem is having issues with it being dynamic lol
And trust me, the bet is not Hunter for us
🤣
It’s unfortunately not a this spec or that spec in our group as you can see
All specs are not close to the same pilots

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
so the m+ build now takes carnage and dtb, so do we run deadly instant or deadly amp?
was looking at the guide and it only mentions non-lethals
Do you talent into Amp poison?
yea thats what guide does
Would you do that if you didnt wanna play that? 🙂
its either that or 2 seconds longer envenom
i mean, i guess not, ive just heard that amp is bad for aoe
Well, it's the same damage as instant for AoE, yeah
There's a section in the FAQ that's dedicated to it
yeah, that part of the FAQ is not updated though
So in the case of DTB, just play DP+Amp always
Wdym not updated?
it says we dont run amp poison
he writes that we don't take amp
in 99% of situations, which we do run now
i told him about that, he said he should he fix
It's also written as if we only play 1 poison. But we play 2. 😛
So if with one poison the choice is between DP or Amp, with 2 it's not a choice.
The important take-away is that they all deal the same damage, and 2/3 poisons have a bonus effect, one of them doesn't.
How does it affect the shield?
I'm not sure that a shield counts as healing recieved.
Would be weird if it does.
But who knows how they programmed it..
I mean, it literally works like that in PvP
But yeah anyway, its second hand knowledge so
They typically make bosses immune to it, after the Jailer debacle
even then
and i don't think it's worth it for sin at all
i mean
i had yoda tanking and we still had infinite sanguine right
affix just sucks
theres so many lieutenants
for outlaw/sub it's 100p worth swapping poison between boss and trash
but i think with 4pc and so many talents that amplify your poison damage on sin
you just aren't allowed
iron wire is the tradeoff
Yeah idk, we never struggled with sanguini when we played so I never saw the need for it
But I guess if its an issue, then swapping is def worth for sub/outlaw
Sin gets screwed yet again 
Just let us equip wound on top of two deadly poisons 
Triple tempered blades
IC has given me a newfound appreciation for open world pvp.
It's fun to walk up to a clump of horde mouthbreathers and just blow them all up
I would like to see this log
no
aww
hey guys im pretty new in assa rogue any tips for raid and m+ talens and overall some tips? thank you (i played sub only from start of this exp)

Is cowl+lariat considred best embellishment combination generally?
yup
ty
I need good shoulders to make 5 set than craft my cowl to still have 4 set bonus and need that fire ring probably.. jesus
cowl is good without the ring
Birdbox
"top of the dmg meter" its 59k
How much haste is needed for a good energy stamina assa rogue?
you will never reach the haste amount required for sin to not starve
depends on what's "good" I guess
I would be happy with -25% haste
assassination too fast
slow it down

YOU LITEARLLY TALK ABOUT BELF MATE


I'm having a hard time using Exsang correctly in M+, I don't think I'm getting good value out of it. Only om the bosses because I'm afraid if I use it on trash it won't be up when I need it (my bad planning).
I still really want Iron Wire though, that's been a huge help for my group, so would it be crazy to take Master Assassin? Is the drop off for that so big?
iron wire is like, the 1 thing assa has over the oither 2
dont overthink exsang in m+
slam on cd on a add you want to die slightly faster
and on bosses use it like you use it on raids
I just send it in to the Mob i think should die first / has the most hp
I guess i kinda use it with the same mindset as Deathmark? On trash in dungeons at least.
For Exsang I understand you don't want to deathmark before it because it will shorten your deathmark, but can you deathmark right after it, or do you need to wait for the sped up bleeds to be refreshed to normal before doing DM? I don't really understand that mechanic.
Tauren is the real furry race idk why ppl hating on worgens
he is just better than you man
used thunder roar once
like
did you try not to suck so hard?

yeah my bad
Outplayed by the genius arms warrior
Tbh
I would be happy if they just put exsang on a 2 min cd
Also make kingsbane a slash with AP and idk do something to stop you getting kb and dtb
Like that would be so based
eh quick q. does Master Poisoner increase value of Atrophic Poison ? or is it static 3% regardless?
sick, ty
I remember early talks when it was still in Beta that it didnt affect it
but didnt ask since then
and assumed they didnt change it
yes, but its so minimal that its not really worth it
like
atrophic is a meme anyway
it's like 3.6% instead of 3%
you can numbing
you can
numbing means less dmg on tank
if you have two rogues one runs atrophic and other runs numbing
oops hail already answered
Oh ok
atrohpic means the RL can put a checkmark on his excel spreadsheet and think it does something

Its our excuse to be always brought to raid


to put it into context
if you get hit by boss for 150,000 AoE
3% would be 4500
times 20, that's 90,000
it's not nothing.
un-ironically yes
i mean, the problem is the entire "and not all dmg is actually boss dmg, but envoirmental dmg lmao" thing
like, its a weaker devo aura cus it doesnt work on everything and drops off when you have longer downtimes
I think the tone of what i wrote didn't come out right.
it was an ironic it's not nothing
even 90k for whole raid is like what.. one healer cast?
it does add up over an fight, but not a very big thing
its litearlly just "devo, but way worse"
yeah, hence the it's not nothing.
but like, i doubt 4000-5000 health would save you from dying to getting hit by something that would kill your otherwise
usually mechanics that wipe, have enough damage to one shot
thats also why leech is ussules btw 
like, healers are the only ones where leech actually does anything
for dps/tanks, leech is such a troll stat
for exmaple, Kurog's Searing Carnage (dance with fire)
deals almost 600k damage
why is leech good for healers?
it triggers on heals aswell
so they need to heal themself less often
5people drop inculding themself? they aoe heal into the group, and leech will top themself aswell
and dont need to use bigger heals on yourself
like, with 10%leech you never really target yourself as a healer anymore
Does shadowstep work with mouseover macros? Cus it doesn't work with the addon Clique
yes, it does
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, nodead, exists][] Shadowstep
not the ninja channel
sir, this is the sin channel
lol sry
Dm right after exang.
Thank you
sounds like you had a fun time
What's the function of []
hello, do i use exsanguinate in opener?
this is not mentioned in wowhead but in assa faq it is
so the question is still up @woeful meteor
😉
I just opened wowhead and the first thing I saw is the same picture that is in the faq
in assa faq it is exsang/no exsang
semi outdated, but yes you use exsang faq is more up to date generally
i tried out the AP IC build in a few M+ and i really enjoy it
stupid question, but the greens/blues from HoV can drop at normal ilvls right? https://www.wowhead.com/item=136776/bjorns-hunting-strap for example
Yea, everything listed in loot table for M+ drops in updated ilvls. There are 19 drops fro rogues. Its a leather heaven; yet hard to loot snipe because of the large loot table.
Much appreciated, reason i asked is because of that, I've never seen any of them drop i swear lol
just had somebody complain about me playing sin in a heroic dungeon
honestly quite incredible
He should play sandbox games with that elitism
Just starting to play rogue and assassination. Is there a reason why the guides don't suggest a Garrote>SnD>Garrote>Garrote opener instead of just triple garrote? seems like if its pressed right on the GCD you can still fit all three garrotes into the IG window
Never had anyone even mention it in 20s that's wild lol
If you garrote 3 different targets on the opener, all 3 are empowered by IG, and you get 4 casts off; one normal garrote. if you squeeze snd in between you get 2 IGs and 3 total casts
Though I have had to explain IC a lot
To me it looks like I'm able to get in 3 IG + finisher if its weaved in after the initial IG. its super tight but fairly consistent
If your last garrote is going in to CD, it means its not IG
You're super consistently misreading your globals then it's quite literally impossible
This is a general question so maybe wrong channel but can bosses still parry if I hit in the face rather than in the back? Sometimes I get weird interaction where it seems like my abilities goes off and global is triggered but no combo points are awarded so I have to for instance mutilate an extra time.
Yes they can
Would that happen then? That I don’t get my CP
I believe dungeon bosses don't parry unless they're also raid bosses
Like Odin I guess is the only one this season
But raid bosses parry afaik
The third garrote here would overwrite the empowered “stealth” garrote on ST. On AoE you’re assuming that you’re doing this with IC up so theoretically ALl targets should have garrotes on them. The second is just good cp gain tbh
A parried finisher will do nothing ans refund the cp it costs, a parried builder will give no cp, and I believe it will refund energy
Dungeon bosses do not parry full stop, I'm pretty sure
Thank you. I’ll try to see if I get my energy back next time I see it happening and figure out if it was a parry or just weird connection stuff. 🙏🏻
I could be wrong but I swear general kaal or whatever from sanguine depths parried
I thought the rule was they parried if they also appeared in raid
Thanks. I must have just missed something.
I'll have to check ig
I have the worst case of confirmation bias in the world wrt to parrying and I don't remember SD kaal partying ever
But I'm willing to be wrong here
She did parry
i know for a fact that raz can parry
99% sure you don't get the energy back. But you just don't gain/lose the combo points if it's a generator/finisher
dunno about all dungeon bosses, but raid bosses certainly still do
except ones like sennarth and terros
obv
Speaking of obscure mechanics
Is terros like halondrus
Where you can't miss offhand attacks
im pretty sure ive seen mutilate be parried but still give you blindside proc
free ambush i guess pog
No
i have a 16.5% melee miss on terros
but dunno how to distinguish MH vs OH
Hmm interesting
Depends on timers
assume patchwerk fight
If your fight ends before say 6:40ish. You hold. If it doesn’t, you slam on CD and lineup circa 6
Gonna have to use your noggin
ok ty
Thats fuckin cringe
Just take that shit out of the game already, or put back in spell resist
Is there a way to avoid at raza to stop shadowstep going behind raza?
At last wind i keep going behind him
stupid question maybe, but how do I account for the ability i choose on the ruby whelp trinket when simming trinkets?
How do u play last winds
I had no issues with gate into step
But step into gate was sus
gate into step is my last one
and the last step
goes to wrong side of raza
and im facing the wrong way
Done it 2 times now
Do u guys have your tanks move the bird from the edge or does it stay there
We had the bird moving towards middle with us
its being moved
And that was never an issue
thats why i think its doing that
Well we did that all of prog and I never had any issue
hmm
Do u guys public log
Whats your guild ill have a look
Just step earlier. Boss does a breath in the last second of winds 3 and 4, so if you try to "minmax" you step after she turns to do breath
I think he is talking about last winds tho
#5 i think it is
never had that issue on those
Cloak it?
1 cloak
2 double step
3 gate
4 double step
5 cloak
i personally wanted cloak for intermission
What for
ahhhh
to stay in shit to kick or to cloak bolts
Ugh, I feel like I ask this question every expansion because I'm so paranoid it changes. Is Zoldyck's currently affecting Envenom damage? (I assume yes)
Most guilds starting progression won't be able to skip fifth winds yet
https://clips.twitch.tv/ConsiderateHomelyNoodleKappa-PcUEmH1nJacrHAFs different spec but this is how last winds looked for me
never had the boss push me other way
Last winds depends on what the tanks do
If they move the boss closer to middle then it's gonna turn around
So stepping usually doesn't work. That's why cloak is great there
but the boss is turned and moving when I step there and it works fine, I think the issue is if the tanks dont move the boss
If people bait correctly in intermission, you won't need it there, especially if you play assa, cuz you won't be on red
but instead only turn it
oke tried ur thing seliathan
was a lot better
then what i was doing
good stuff, thanks a lot
Only thing you gotta pay attention to is 4th winds, if you do the second step very late you might yeet yourself off
yeah that one ive fallen off too
Yeah i used to gate on 2 with everybody else but it was kinda sucky
Meant i only had 1 step for 3 which blows
ye i did that too
double step on 4th felt good
only with bigger downtime was the gate one
question, why dont we play double shiv talent in single target?
Yeah but you can throw SBS there and barely lose see dps
Cause it's worse than the suggested alternative
is it better to minmax on the double shadowsteps?
is it a bigger difference delaying it a bit
for some reason it feels i end up closer by not delaying
which doesnt make any sense
stupid question maybe, but how do I account for the ability i choose on the ruby whelp trinket when simming trinkets?
In raidbots its a drop down in the options where you select buffs and all
Once everybody will be a bit more comfortable, you'll likely have to DPS stop in p1 anyway
So minmaxing DPS is kinda pointless
Ah yeah someone talked about that
guys Im dumb @ wwarcraftlogs, and I cant find pharses for my ilvl and spec im 401 i lvl I want to check others at heroic rasz
Yo bois everytime a holy paladin uses AM the whole raid just gets alot of lag/fps drops is it only us or is it just happening and is there any fix for it?
dont take him in the raid, ez
Lovely

Wait, general question; can you cloak Hurricane Wing pushback or does it just make you immune to damage but you still get pushed?
you can cloak the pushback yea
if you have the twirly trinket you can use that too (though its not as useful later on in the fight)
btw what i did is just swap the order
step first and then gate
cause they havent started moving the boss yet
when i step
and the gate lasts long enough that you get pushed into the middle where you dump sparks
Yeah
Or just cloak
Using gate on 5 means you gotta gate on 2 as well, which sucks, cause as assa you then only have a single step on 3 and are out of boss range for 4-5 seconds
So if you really wanna have cloak for intermission, and there's no reason to do so, you would have to
1 step
2 gate
3 cloak
4 double step
5 step+gate
well passed terros mythic after people stopped failing. now sennarth
yikes this is going to be a long last 90 minutes
i cloaked 5 and didnt have downtime on the previous ones
i cant remember what i did tho so im not super helpful rn
I did
1: Step > Sprint Run back
2: Step > Gate
3: Step > Step > Sprint back if needed
4: Cloak
5: gate only, step late
For our prog/kill
1 grapple
2 grapple
3 grapple
4 grapple
5 grapple
ftfy
😈
You just get knocked off the platform and onto the bench if you play outlaw on that fight
go and roll some dice if you can do dps 
tell that to foreverguy
guy will always find a way to explain you why outlaw is the best option and choice on all fights
Blade rush cloak and grapple all existing
💀
@kind talon you know that you cant just grapple any of them right
Takes 2 things
outlaw does fine on the fight, but theres actually reasons to play sub or assa, outlaw is just "i dont wanna play the other specs"
you have grapple step for every one
Or 3 for the hard set i think
itd oesnt do any of the things better on that fight than either alternative
Step instead of cold blood?
its a middle ground
That works
middleground on a fight where you want specific damage patterns
0.4 dps cold blood hack
Seli the guild isnt gonna need anything specific
why
Its gonna get nerfed more before he kills it
also ill play sub on rasz if i get a better wep for mainhand
someone tell me why i get deleted way easier as a rogue now
my why was directed at dekai, actually
