no i meant, why did you think i care.
how is outlaw in pvp?
and just like that i got dekai and agreon both
lol

probably because we were having the conversation

dont care about spriest
true
:hahaweed:
WHAT ABOUT MY QUESTION DAMMIT
You shouldnt be dying to anything ever as rogue you didnt get squishier
sighhh
Oh you actually meant pvp
pvp channel is better to ask pvp questions
And then you asked about outlaw in the sin channel but related to pvp unlucky
sub has that afaik
It does
Is this shadowlands
😮
no :c
I am most def not squishy because my ilvl is like 385
Are you talking about pve at all etlol
Because like genuinely the pvp channel will help you more if thats what you do
Who?
Where squishy means tankier than any non warlock
Yeah
Hi there, stupid question is it worth playing with 2P or 4P Vault delver set in RBG or PVP in general ?
is the 4p set bonus a huge boost btw?
4% in pve roughly
okay... is that negligable then?
No
4% is huge
aight
But we don’t really do pvp so
wasnt sure since its hard to tell if 4% is small or large compared to other options
Ask that in pvp channel
ok thx
So generally for gear
Weapons are huge, trinkets are huge
trinkets have been huge ever since DST
Otherwise going from like 385 to 418 on any piece is like 1%
and if your really oldschool
Maybe 2
earthstrike
Most tier sets historically are around 10% between 2 and 4 piece
A lot of us are zoomers ngl
ah good to know actually
thats actually kinda insane
how tf is a 20ilvl difference only like 1%
Yeah it’s worth running 4pc raid finder over like high ilvl stuff
That’s mainly for off pieces like boot belt bracers shit like that
29 pulls Kurog down, let's go. 😄
zoomers were after earthstrike you nub
earthstrike was at the latest 2006
Which is more than 15 years ago
exactly
checkmate
i most def dont remember that
sweats profusely
i said zoomers are after earthstrike
im confused now
nah he said zoomers but 15 yrs ago the zoomers were boomers / millenials
😏
i win on technicality
i dont feel like you did tho
i most def didnt get DST on my rogue alt only to play on my main rogue that never got it
sweats profusely
zoomers are after (chronologically)
not to mean they’re farming it
this is the point of miscommunication
comm is hard
one day robots will just project what we mean into other peoples brains ezpz
anyway my point is that trinkets were important since earthstrike came out
i would say gnomish shrinking device was up there too but you know rng wiping entire raid op
actually gnomish shrink ray wasnt a trinket i dont think i take that back
and id argue rogue weapons were important since barman shanker
i feel old now
btw is kingblade talent not optimal for pve anymore?
compared to talent that gives access to 2 main poisons
It’s unplayable
Yes
5%
why did i copy rogue talent trees that used kingbane before
blizzard senpai wtf
also do rogues almost always spec into ms now
ms talents i mean
which i guess is called blindside or w/e
the talent that gives free ambush
Ms like mortal strike or movespeed
any reason not to?
Not really
Could drop them if you wanted to do less damage
but i do like that they gave the dmg boost backk
You can Talent into that
What damage boost?
Lmao no
Might be a pvp thing
did i read this shit wrong
But that sounds giga aids
there is a pvp talent that did this yes
back in WotLK it was legit
Haha
just tott other rogues and free 15% dmg
game was better back then
Then go play classic
hello i'll soon start Rasza mm prog and i'm curious how Sin deals with P1 winds since it does not have the Vanish+Strike as an additional way to shadowstep.
How did you do it/how is it supposed to be done as Sin?
i want to have my cake and eat it too fuck you
cloak, double step, lock gate
does gate by itself help deal with one wind now?
also do sin rogues normally get the talent that allows stealth abilities after breaking stealth for 3 sec?
ye lock gate should make it safe
doesnt give max duration for improved garrote?
I thought it was gate+step
Improved garrote is 3 seconds
ideally you'd have a charge of step back
after reapplyiing it
It is the same duration
i should prob move ambush keybind to something like capslock key instead of shift + 1 :l
shift + 1 hella slow imo, could miss rng procs due to it
S2 for me
Sounds like skill issue
you can’t hit shift+1 in a 1 second gcd?
on free keybind
so
Shs * 2
Shs+gate
clock
SHS*2
?
I cloak first, double step 2nd, gate + step 3rd
Same thing
vanish here o/
its the new class
Not you
It was
looking back dk were beyond broken at first and same with dh
isn't there like 5 winds or something? I cloak the 4th and double step the last?
Yeah they were broken month 1 not day 1
Lot of people skip 5th now but
Huge difference I guess
Ok
yes i win!
ok but im right in cloaking the 4th then?
No I’m just giving you a response so I don’t have to engage in the conversation
Got Kurog today.
But feels like I'm so behind on DPS compared to others (talking boss damage)

Did you play single target on it or 2 target
a wins a win
single target

yeah but now i'm sat for dathea :sadge:
wat
this was mine right now
a ranged dps that doesnt have to worry about basic boss mechanics outdamages melee dps that does? nowai
?
its sarcasm
I dunno, maybe missing WF and windwalker just really hurts me
I tried comparing to other rogue logs.
my auto attacks damage is a lot lower
That’s overall
Ah ok let me get boss
sounds like you need the ring from court of stars
can't, using duirna and ring from halls 13/13 with socket
that's pretty close to my dps on boss hyperfox
i dunno, need to test
That’s what we like to see 
flat dps increase to auto attack dmg is almost always a huge dps gain
let me check, brb
at least shadow priests arent broken and easily beating everyone on dps meter
Was nice, was more straightforward and less messy than Spider tho
But pre-nerf and pre-ilvl this thing must've been a hell
btw is there an upper limit or cap to crit stat for sin?
yeah, not an upgrade (same ilvl and encahnt / no socket)
technically 421 from vault
i mean 17 dps
guess ilvl wouldnt actually increase the flat dps increase to auto attack
just increases the stats
which would just be stamina i think :l
It does
It would also increase the cri/haste, like every other item in the game since it’s release 
yea i know that but i wasnt sure if the ring had basically swapped the basic stats with the increase to aa dmg
You know what's embarassing.
I was raiding this whole time until today without legs enchant. 

god you're so cool
very interesting discussions around the #assassination spec
I’d rather he’d talk about when he got laid so I can ignore him
Instead of having to correct him about basic game mechanics

i keep shit interesting tho
Not really the word I would use
adhd op
You know
I'm glad my side project has distracted me as much as it has
So I don't have to read sin chat lately
well like, as you see, our mages and BM hunter just deal way more ST than me
makes assassination feel very bad 
having to rely on WF isn't great
It's ok BM was only buffed 5%. 
that buff isn't even in affect yet 😂
it's just ridiculous
there was an argument here "hunters rely on having bow so they need buff"
okay, well, we rely on WF
so, you can't craft bows?
I asked them to give me rasz bow, but they wouldn't for some reason
for the 19th time

Can you not stand in the web and shadowstep back up on sennarth? 
I'm a greedy boy smile
I've been playing outlaw without step on the fight, but gonna play assa on it instead for funsies
and as outlaw it's very easy to just stand in web and vanish the stacks
Yeah
but can't really do it as assa and hugging wall is big no no
Rogues got a lot of cheese
rogues = 
Man i keep seeing different openers on assa on different sites and videos for dragon build what do i do?
the one in the faq
will take a look
So i just got a 392 platinum star band from academy. Im running seal from eggnog and signet of malandrus. I kinda wanna get rid of the seal ring since the star band has better stats

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
what are yalls thoughts
all them r good
Yeah it's really ridiculous to me that beast mastery hunter has better st than sin
that you should sim it
i mean its just the bow, really
BM without bow is dog
its very similar to rogues without sylv dagger
and rogues with double sylv dagger
in shadowlands
world of a difference, and difficult to tune for if its a rare drop/accessibility to the item is low
do you plan on adding anything of substance to any conversation you decide to insert yourself into?
oxi
varas
I tried the opener g>bs>sd>mut>rup>death>shiv>echoing>envenom>vanish garrote
And it feels like not as bursty, is it gear dependant or hard ramp up?
what is bs and sd?
where exactly did you find that opener
I'm really bad at memorizing rotation patterns
I need to logically understand why it's optimal for it to click with me
I mean you're not playing our only burst talent
that's probably why it feels not as bursty
its optimal because its the best dmg, ez
i’m the same way
is it good to run puzzle box and grieftorch together or are there better options?
does it sim highest for you?
it does but if I use one it puts the other on a short cd
and was wondering if it would awkward timing them both
you use box first and torch after dm
then torch on cd and box with dm
the end
all in the faq btw 😄
ope i'll look there next time thank ya
torch just too good to not use
I keep hearing that
I didn't even bother going for our only mythic one
normal torch kinda sucks
watching everyone with a heroic torch do like 30-40% more dmg with it
idk, skill issue i gues
on heroic dathea, what is everyone running for talent builts, single target or are you doing IC/DTB for focus on adds phases
ST, stay on main plat
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
on broodkeeper mythic what do we have to deal with the icy shroud ?
am i vanishing garrote then deathmark? or
Vanish, cloak, dwarf racial
I saved the spells for the 3 hardest overlaps
There is a shroud beam, a fire shroud, and a shroud fire
I was sub so 2x vanish kekw
Do we exsang a ss garrote with rupture after ER? Also, when do we shiv ideally? FAQ shiv is all about KB
Shiv on CD
It’s there
w8 why is shiv after envenom? u have 5/6 cp after deathmark
It used to be for kingsbane
But now we don't take it
You can shiv before envenom
Doesn't really matter
y thats what i usualy do
wtf
is it cause you were quitting or
because it's 164 dps over a puzzlebox/icon set up
try selling that over a DH getting it
outlaw*
😈
ya
thats the context we need mannen
icon fuckin JUICED with triple buff
lol
only have 1 upgrade from raz
unfortunate
legs?
i got 421 with avoidance from vault so
not even gonna roll on them
i found out today that on 24 nokhud i just get oneshot on the double boss
so i kinda wanna die
elusiveness moment
no combat stam
pop evasion and feint
and hope that 30% DR is enough to save you from a 200k gale arrow into a 150k shot
i already said that?
bro
try 400k gale arrow
whoever designed that boss
is actually a horrible human being
and I hope their significant other leaves them
actually blanket that into the whole dungeon
im fine with the rest personally
but that boss can eat a dick
such a free key otherwise
@gusty mirage its like
2.5k
for me
💀
424 torch
its actually so unreal
how good that troinket is
Sin is not great at AoE
But at least you wanna take it to destroy the boss
oh.
nvm.

good thing BM gets a 5% buff though.
it's obviously struggling.
kurogs just a bad fight for sin isn't it?
yes
like the phases are just bad for 2min cds
for sure.
but that's just damage on kurog
we're still top of the chart on eranog
kek
I don't know if that's the reason
but i assume that other classes do more ST when they can cleave
always look at those graphs 90th percentile or higher
factoring all the people who dont have hands skews results
hey 😢
damn
why you gotta call me out like that
how are we even writing without hands
I'm using my toes
👁️
Cus ur a puzzlebox
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
True
just an ol box of puzzles
Puzzles
imo, they should just give WF totem to rogues. we stole it from shammy, that's it.
KA?
Kindred affinity
what's that
Symbiosis on crack
Came from Druids
Based on ur covenant you got a fuck ton of x stat
It was so good for fire mages/sin that you couldn’t parse mythic without it
Was a great time
they should make shrouded suffocation work like a reverse surrender to madness
if the boss doesn't get medical aid
oh, so you meant it ironically
the cut gets infected
1000000%
I didn't play during SL, i'm learning all the memes.


we should get reverse devoker mastery
I bet whatever assassination is gonna get
it's just gonna be "bleed and/or poison deal more damage"
that's our mastery
that's our tier set
that's basically 90% of our passive talents
techniclly also our active talents do that
new exsang: your bleeds deal 20% more damage
mark my word
Ran two sims
without WF: 76,555 DPS
with WF: 79,325 DPS
3k buff that you can't have 
LMFAO what is that

Is sin getting changed in .07
being yelled at to go sub because "it does more damage and is higher io than assa" and i'm like yeah, but its not fun
in raid?
by who
M+
what lvl of keys are u doing
why do your guild officers decide what you play in m+
more like back you into a corner saying "if you don't play this we dont play with you"
probably not
IK it is
and has niche scenarios and pulls where it pops off with shrouded suff and stuff
sounds like your guild officers don't understand at what key level "the meta" starts being important
good ST in dungeons too
they are just meta chasing asshats
im pugging 20-22 with only assa, no reason someone bitching about that
seems to be working fine for you too
are they like real life friends
no
sounds like u might wanna play with others
tell them a moderator in the rogue discord told them to go wash their ass
you can even screenshot that
already did >.<
yeah like outlaw rogues aren't stupid
smh
imagine people spreading THAT misinformation

oxi

its also hilarious, because they do like 2 keys total a week
jokes on you, I played outlaw S1 of SL
and I'm stupid as fuck
/gquit

almost did last week
i played sin s1 of SL
and im giga smart
whats up
we are at 30% prog on Senarth
wanna talk about it?
yeah sure
i started playing wow at start of Sl only playing sin since then. i only know dispair
my god
and i went venthyr from the start because i liked the zone:)
so basically sin got giga buff and i joined shitter non ce mythic guild
does carnage spread dots with the same amount of combo points?
and my RL was telling me
ideally you rupture with echoing w/ IC

wat
non ce shitter mythic prog guild
yeah
GM is a frost mage one trick
sin was super hard
That's what I figured
our last Terros kill, the dk is normally a WW monk, and the top holy priest is the other one
I feel like
looks like they need to talk to your devastation evoker
and fire mage
I'm finding gains for sin in general while finding gains for dance and it's depresso in a way
no sh0t
and both enhancement shaman
good ol' memories
yeah? and how far behind the go-to build is it?

insane
I told them last week, I'll switch to a higher damage spec if damage is the issue, and im lower than top 5

he might not have jump bound
BUT IN A RAID ENVIRONMENT
THEY ARENT
HIGHER DAMAGE SPECS
THEY JUST HAVE DiFFERENT PROFILES
I HATE YOUR GUILD LEADERSHIP
thats the funny part
feel the rage dekai
I was kind of depressed how my outlaw, a spec I'm significantly worse at, was outperforming my sin by so much in dungeons
do it

I'm legit in here to farm logs
I mean, pushing blade flurry and doing your ST rotation is a bit easier than spinning 50 plates as assassination
"hello is sin viable"
plus if shit dies quick
"hello my guild leadership wants me to play sub can i play sin"
assassination doesn't do shit
Well it's such a hassle comparatively
"hello my guild leadership asked me to play IC on dathea platform 1"
they tell me to do more dmg, to carry other shit

at this point i'm doing it to learn apl in general and less of a serious thing
no shot, they didn't know about the AE garrote silence the first week
bro
they knew about it
and they asked me to play it
this was my reward
a 9 parse
I tried m0 again
This time we got to the first boss then full wiped
Idk if this is my fault or pepega teammates
I cast vanish 3 times in 8:30 minutes
DHs can't make a "do you know how much I've sacrificed" meme around me anymore
I sacrificed like 15k dps

our dathea went from "people need to interupt", to "rogues go assa and play AE Garrote build"
No matter how well you play there will always be an arms warrior performing better than you by existing
i know that feel as a windwalker
ye it be that way
except instead of arms warrior its literally any other spec
but then you remind yourself that gromnak is the face of warriors

Maybe I'll finish leveling my dh
I've been having a lot of fun doing sin in keys lately on my alt
Havoc is dummy good in mythic and raids right
this week kinda feelsbadman tho cuz shades keeping in combat
Yeah ur guild leadership is very smart
Put a sin rogue on platforms
Surely

well they asked me to play sub
Surely it’s good

I can't decide if I like sub or not
You don’t
I'm constantly teetering between this is painfully boring and "wow this is powerful maybe I'm having fun after all"
I just don't have as much fun with dtb honestly
I liked the blindside procs and kingsbane
is x2 shiv even useful for dtb in ST now?
Probably just me but, i feel like Shadowstrike kills me more often than not. That's why i stick with Sin.
wait this is a M+ ss >.<
I'm pretty sure we drop it
Idk
I guess you can swap off the fan crit talent if you're ok with getting 1 combo point per cast every time

Anyways I'm stoned gotta go lie down
?
oh I had linked the M+ talent SS build isntead of the ST builkd
After what Dathea was like, just being a boss monkey on Brood gonna be such a vibe
I liked dtb when it pumped in ST
Now sub is better in aoe and ST in keys
Where's the competition
oh damn is it really that bad

we finally going to be progging past council this week and i can't wait
full roster pog
Sorry, dumb question - I know not to exsang during deathmark, but I have interpreted from the guide that I can exsang and then deathmark?
correct
Thanks!
Is Algeth'ar Puzzle Box still really good after Kingsbane fell off?
Sweet. Finally got one so time to start upgrading.
does anyone know how to sim bis embellishment comboin raidbots
ah you have to manually add items i see
ahh beaut thankyou
what spec do rogues usually use for mythic sennarth
Asking the same question everywhere isnt the way to go
it got answered 🙂
it did, but you didn't make any friends asking it in every channel. Usually seen as a pretty dick move
What was their answer, it got me curious
or ya know
you could be smart
and look it up yourself
but why would anyone do that
when they could just spam every channel instead
Thats what i do , check the logs. Get better
if the guy doesn't know how to look at logs hes probably new and not familiar with discord etiquette either. I usually treat these situations as a chance to educate someone instead of trying to publicly shame them
and I usually don't care
his discord account was made in 2016
I like to think people are intelligent
rather than thinking they're all new and stupid
but you do you
assassination rogue
subtlety rogue
real?
Fr

not stupid, just not familiar with the format perhaps. my dad is a surgeon and i consider him pretty smart, but if he came into a discord server he would look like a fool because he'd have no idea what he's doing. what you are doing is implying everyone must have the same skillset and experiences as you to be considered "smart"
im not reading that
k
too long wont read - Whispyr 
you do you
yeah except im not being a condescending jerk
Damn yo dad is a sturgeon
Fish
Am catfish
the issue is, I don't care about your opinion
aside form 0 aoe, it's okay
what do you want me to say
psure you would
gamer
Iron wire gaming
dropping IC is ripping of the bandaid that holds m+ assa togheter 
Yet people played dtb by itself before
people be playing IC on dathea
yes, in CoS
cus cos Pulls are like, 3adds at once after the first boss
Sbg too
I was originally benched, then boomie decided to noshow, so had to cover adds 
I prefer to call them psychopaths.
and better ruptures
In M+

seli you're so right
I learned from the best
Yea but sub finishes first, assa last
Good guys finish last
Specs*
Good guys dont finish at all
I could go so much further with that, but.. Uuuh.. Ima not.
you mean the spec that doesnt need rng to generate 5cp on 5enemys, has a stronger rupture and free spread on it?
🙂
Its not free, it requires skill to spread efficiently to differnt targets

High iq, brainpower spec. Unlike assa.
yeah
the HORROR that your free bleed spread has a small positoning requorment
Yeah, assa just pushes a button
Sub however, chadwalks around the place
Assa has it EASY.
Oh no the dance is so hard to execute aswell
I can't press 4 buttons in the correct order
i just like how sub needs less time generating cp for a bleed that auto applies on 2targets and does more dmg
then the bleed of the bleed and poison spec
real 10/10 thing
Hey rupture for us also gives us energy
Sounds like you are just jealous tryan
imagine if assa had replicating for rupture and garrote
🙂
Imagine if assa got some bitches
would drop the spec then tbh
if bitches can do aoe interrupt I am ok
At higher target counts we keep spamming ct or we try to fish pb proccs?
as you get more targets, you want to prioritize CT more and more
Thanks mr whispyr
np mr puma
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
we prioritize CT at 6+ targets?
Depends on the build you're using.. Amp, deadly?
yez
The thing with Tempest is the bleed effect part, sometimes with Deadly it's even okay at single target, but if you already have the bleed applied then subsequent casts lose value.
I tried simming myself on AOE when do I start casting CT but the simcraft kept using envenom even when I set number of enemies to 100
I think there's multiple target counts scenarios, at which one scenario is going to be worth it even to re-overwrite the bleeds at high count like 6-8. One which is better to re-apply if there's no or low bleed, probably 4+ and then one where it's just not worth to apply.
What build are you chumps running for your Dathea kills?
At one scenario the splash damage alone from tempest beats envenom > then at one scenario the splash + bleed beats envenom > and then one scenario where enevenom just beats both. But that's volatile depending on the poison you're using and if you have Shiv available and what not. It's bit complicated
That might be because Poison Bomb probably comes ahead at a certain # since Crimson's capped.
Can u explain this ? 😮 How hard can positioning fuck your IC?
fuck boomies man
I just saw this now
not IC
lol
its about rep. shadows from sub
:0
the free 2target rupture, and then they complain that it makes sub complicated because you need to move bettwen enemys, it always targets the nearest enemy
and like i said, the sheer horor of your free bleed spread having a small positonig req 
AHA Sarcasm, 
Isn't it still the only double bleed application that isn't smart?
there are litearlly only 3specs in the game that do bleeds
feral has a multi application that is smart
assa has a 8target application on a cd that is not smart
sub has a 2target that is not smart
Boomy has 2 target as well that is smart
feral sure isn't
Is IC not smart? Say in a 9 target pull and I garrote 1, could the IC garrote after overwrite it?
guardian is down bad too
moonkin is a favorite child for sure tho
rogues have always been better than feral lol
glad to see feral good for once
first time it's ever been seriously played in MDI since m+ began
maybe when legion PB was doing fat stacks of dmg
Quick question, is Flaring Cowl still BiS for raiding. If not what Embelishments do you go?
BfA S1 it was the best rogue m+ spec iirc
could also be me beeing high af on copium back then
wasnt sub doing its funnel deeps then? or was that s2?
nah, S2 was the moment #outlaw went to shit
cus it was the start of the "outlaw is always meta for m+" era, and many fotm people rerolled outlaw and never left
ye true
Cap
Its just a loooong time since cataclysm 
Before Dragon Soul, feral was stacked in order to kill Nefarian in Blackwing Descent
Just snapshot rip and let it tick forever on boss. Mad damage.
guys anyone know a good video to learn assass rotation and opener
It worked with affli too
im bad at understanding it just by reading
It worked with affli, but considerig rip lasted forever back then its not even comparable to warlocks who had to refresh their dots
Affli had like 2 dot that lasted forever too I think
Uh, that would be news to me
Haunt refreshed Corruption
Drain soul refreshed Unstable Affliction
you did not cast drain soul only on execute
Like, I remember soulburned haunt did some jazz, but I dont remember drain soul doing any refreshing. But could be wrong, been a long time since I played warlock.
Boomers 
Nefarian was a hell of a fight.

Went to worldoflogs to see if I could fine my old logs from the fight
but nah
they shut down
found it
Interesting. But didnt warlocks play destruction in that tier 
Dunno

Holy Paladin - Diamondtear
Hunter - Devai
Feral Druid - Lappé
Priest - Zhinn

Yeah I remember that specific stack very well, haha.
Arena was also flooded with cats.
Hmm I guess feral was good
There are lot of specs that could refresh dot duration
Subtlety rogue refreshed Rupture with eviscerate
cata was so long ago i didn't even play during the time you're describing 
Cata raiding, with exception of DS was amazing.
