well it is, but if you dont break it youre still gonna wipe

#

20% nerfed or not

dark token
#

nah i mean the f rost shield

drifting cloud
#

so do I

#

they wont heal 3 in a row

dark token
#

our healers

#

do

#

idk

gusty mirage
#

it's 5 sockets + 230 agility

dark token
#

yeah its easier to 1shot the add

gusty mirage
#

each socket is about 400 dps by itself

dark token
#

and it probably added 50 wipes pre nerf

balmy condor
#

it's opener

dark token
#

but its not mandatory

balmy condor
#

you cast vanish before exsang

#

he didn't

#

that's a whole ass garrote

dark token
#

i wouldnt int my damage for a grieftorch on it

balmy condor
#

you limited it to 40 seconds

drifting cloud
#

lol so funny coming from you

#

hes assa, what dmg is he inting anyways

dark token
#

true

#

he inting by spec

gusty mirage
#

he comes in here to doom and gloom

dark token
#

yeah i doom and gloom about assa

#

cause its last place

#

and bm keeps getting buffed

#

xD

gusty mirage
#

go into sub then

magic vine
#

he got a sophic proc at the start too i think

gusty mirage
#

your opinion isn't wanted

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

idk whats confusing about the log tbh

#

better gear, better proc, better opener

#

got an extra envenom

gusty mirage
#

frankly I could do without you coming in to give your 2 cents about people who want to play assassination, if you don't want to great don't play it

#

but shut the fuck up about people "inting" by playing assassination

balmy condor
#

he got double the damage from diurna ring

thorn fjord
#

Cries in no ring

dark token
#

12 week no ring

drifting cloud
#

whats even the ppm on the ring

dark token
#

no grieftorch

balmy condor
#

also homie plays orc

drifting cloud
#

zug zug

balmy condor
#

AND HE GOT A PI

#

bro

#

what

#

how is this a question

gusty mirage
thorn fjord
#

What’s ppm

gusty mirage
#

procs per minute

magic vine
#

he got three pi lol

thorny aurora
magic vine
#

i think he got lariat too? at the start

balmy condor
#

he does 50% more damage than you in the first 40 seconds cause he plays a race that has a burst racial, got a pi, got better procs, more cp, has better gear, did a better opener, had an augment rune, had more windfury uptime

thorny aurora
#

why is the opener with vanish garrote before exsang listed in the faq if its not the more optimal one?

balmy condor
#

it's only more optimal because you can't read

thorn fjord
#

There’s two ways to handle the opener

balmy condor
#

if you're only looking at the first 40 seconds of a fight

#

and you waste 20 seconds worth of garrote

#

are you really confused why he's doing more

thorny aurora
#

my bad

thorn fjord
#

Think it’s time I start holding vanish gar

thorny aurora
#

thanks for clarifying

thorn fjord
#

I was doing the lazy opener

balmy condor
#

it's a slight gain

#

over 5 minutes

#

not over 40 seconds

#

I got a tiny cock

#

but if you put it under a 5x microscope

#

thing looks massive

magic vine
#

its a slight gain over a full fight not a snapshot of the opening window. but the guy also had like every proc land and got a pi and has significantly better gear than you

thorn fjord
#

Amazing analogy

gusty mirage
thorn fjord
#

The internet proved that hot chicks like smaller dicks

#

So you’re winning Papi

balmy condor
thorny aurora
#

got it, sorry for the noobish questions and thanks for the thorough answers

thorn fjord
#

Cheers!

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

replacing kingsbane on my bars with grieftorch hurts different man

thorny aurora
#

(will try to pay more attention to whats written in the faq before asking haha)

gusty mirage
#

and you just do an extra 15k overall in a dungeon

drifting cloud
#

whats kingsbane

gusty mirage
#

I'm your bane, king

drifting cloud
#

I still believe when boss dies you are assa

gusty mirage
#

nope

#

I told my RL he's not allowed to ask me to swap assassination

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

I told him verbatim

drifting cloud
#

but ill allow it

gusty mirage
#

because it's going to happen

#

we're gonna have like a 3% wipe

#

and we're gonna be hurting for boss damage

drifting cloud
#

you can go 1 step

gusty mirage
#

and he's gonna go "can you please swap to assassination?"

drifting cloud
#

unless you already are

gusty mirage
#

and I'm gonna be like

#

no

#

I'm playing double step

#

because sub mobility is fucking atrocious

#

2 minute sprint

drifting cloud
#

its fine, the parts where you want the 2nd one are covered by spiral

gusty mirage
#

using vanish to get free shadowsteps

balmy condor
#

double vanish

gusty mirage
#

great spec

drifting cloud
#

only sucks a bit in first intermission

balmy condor
#

why don't you just play sin

drifting cloud
#

ig

gusty mirage
#

because I was told to play sub

#

for intermission

balmy condor
#

okay

#

why don't you tell them to go fuck themselves

#

and then play sin

drifting cloud
#

just remember oxi

#

2nd step is 2kdps

gusty mirage
#

because I'm carrying p1 intermission damage on red side

gusty mirage
#

I was asked to play sub

#

not the "most dps set up sub"

drifting cloud
gusty mirage
#

our BM hunter is getting another free 10% or whatever

#

should be fine

drifting cloud
#

well tbh I didnt do it before these last nerfs

gusty mirage
#

our ranged can't figure out how to do p1 intermission damage

#

AMA

drifting cloud
#

stealthi said he thinks its fine now so im like who am I to question the raccoon

gusty mirage
#

and they also can't seem to figure out how to do shield damage

#

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAVE GRIEFTORCH?"

#

"because you're doing zdps to the herald idk bro"

drifting cloud
#

what side is that

gusty mirage
#

red

drifting cloud
#

hmm

gusty mirage
#

it's me and our warrior

#

hard carrying damage on red side

drifting cloud
#

evoker?

gusty mirage
#

our evoker (with mythic staff) and our boomkin and our warlocks

#

are doing zdps

drifting cloud
#

oh right evoker purge thing is dps only right

gusty mirage
#

oh

#

they're dev

magic vine
#

you can take 1 min sprint if you drop acro

drifting cloud
#

also that yeah, acro doesnt do much on the boss anyways

#

think I played soothing lol

gusty mirage
#

can I?

drifting cloud
#

yes that thing

gusty mirage
#

sub talents

#

are actually a bigger tragedy than the state of rogue

drifting cloud
#

shadowrunner

#

oxi

#

lol

gusty mirage
#

yeah bro

#

I need to go fast

#

in stealth

drifting cloud
gusty mirage
#

imagine turning down speed

drifting cloud
#

like this and the acro point is flex

magic vine
#

takes stomach over 15% movespeed

gusty mirage
#

1 healer red side

#

you need it

magic vine
#

then take soothing over acro?

gusty mirage
#

soothing is so ass now

drifting cloud
#

then take fleet footed instead of shadowrunner

#

omg its oxi

In the exsanguinate single target rotation, if I open garrote - SnD - garrote, and at this point it shows Rupture (only 3 cps here) before hitting echoing reprimand and then another rupture. Does the first rupture just get overridden by the echoing reprimand rupture immediately after?

balmy condor
#

yes

turbid schooner
#

input. 424 tier helm and replace flaring cowl or take a 408 cloak to upgrade that has crit and mastery to replace cloak that has haste and mastery

balmy condor
#

don't replace cowl

#

cowl is bis

drifting cloud
#

sounds like a socket angle

proven talon
#

Okay! And just run it at 3 cps not implied to get it to cap or cap -1? Also curious, if it’s overridden right away what purpose does it fill there? Not a critique, I’m bad at this spec and just wouldn’t know

gusty mirage
turbid schooner
balmy condor
#

it overwrites with the 7cp rupture from ER, and gives the full pandemic

#

it's an exsanguinate optimization

#

cause you always want to max pandemic gar/rup before casting exsanguinate

proven talon
#

Oh didn’t think think of that at all. Great explanation, thank you 😬

#

And after 1st exsang, how do I prepare garrote/rupture for it?

balmy condor
#

you repeat the process 4 minutes later

winter gale
#

ER and Garrote into exsang?

balmy condor
#

if ER lines up, otherwise just a full rupture and a vanish gar into exsang deathmark

winter gale
#

4 minutes later, I should save Exsang for 3rd Dm?

#

I never didt it like that 😦

oak sky
#

Usually

balmy condor
#

yeh that's typically how it goes

winter gale
#

I always used delayed exsang for few sec (5-7sec) for ER + Garrote into Rupture and then Exsang

#

Ty, Ill try that next raid

what should i get

spice spire
#

Whichever sims higher is my honest to god answer

balmy condor
#

I wouldn't take the cct if that's the question

gaunt moat
#

imagine getting anything but utter crap on vault

#

i fully excpect another week of 2 rings and a neck

balmy condor
#

just full valor farm

#

yep

gaunt moat
#

I'm full on sockets 🥲

spice spire
#

I need more sockets man

#

I keep getting upgrades

#

But shitty upgrades

gaunt moat
#

like what

spice spire
#

6 ilvl shoulders

#

3 ilvl chest

#

Bracers

#

Cape

balmy condor
#

I keep getting shitty upgrades too

gaunt moat
#

at this point pretty much everything is a 6ilvl upgrade

spice spire
#

I get it

gaunt moat
#

what else do you need

spice spire
#

You got the grief

balmy condor
#

it's 0 dps

spice spire
#

True. Weapon would be nice. Uh. Better signet better pb?

gaunt moat
#

getting a 421 signet would be pretty sweet

#

but then you'll need to wait a week for a socket

spice spire
#

Just get it with a socket Cheesin

gaunt moat
#

and then in like 2 weeks you'll replace it anyway with 10.0.7 ring

#

but think of those 2 weeks in between poggers

#

I guess if my vault is super bad again, i'll get a socket and use it on a 415 signet
so that's something

thorn fjord
#

Used my socket today on cowl

#

Lots of fun

gaunt moat
#

we're at the point of the season it's hard to get upgrades

thorn fjord
#

We’re at nihilist point of the tier

#

If you’re still trying to get that one or two pieces you’re upset and burned out

#

rare jackal
#

we did it boys

#

(mythic sennarth)

gaunt moat
#

:clappers:

rare jackal
#

once i realized how to use shadowstep, i had almost 100% uptime on that fight

gaunt moat
#

did you have to pad?

rare jackal
#

not at all, just dmg on the big add then on boss

#

and making sure to not drop bleeds on the boss while dpsing the add

gaunt moat
#

And FoKs?

rare jackal
#

not used once lol

#

just double checked

gaunt moat
#

I'm gonna try it next time
if i fall down i'll tell RL it's your fault

rare jackal
#

im pretty sure you can get grabbed at point blank range and still use shadowstep to land safely

gaunt moat
#

and what did you do exactly?
(i've had cases i fell and shadowstepped back up, but i wasn't trying to fall on purpose)

rare jackal
#

first, with acrobatic strikes, you have a lot more leeway than you think when it comes to uptime while the grab is being cast

#

you only have to step out of range for half a second maybe

#

but its not necessary to run all the way to the wall to avoid falling down

#

and if you fall down, you can just shadowstep mid air and be safe

#

you might not land in the best spot tho if the grab occurs before the ascend

#

what i did was when the boss ascends, i stay at the bottom of the stairs, in that little nook dpsing
shadowstep once the boss is halfway up the stairs, then take the gateway for the rest of the way

#

this way you can clear the stairs in like 3 seconds

gaunt moat
#

huh, never thought about waiting down to TP to the middle

#

we have the gate at the bottom so i just take that

#

but it's still half way climb

rare jackal
#

right, i asked one of my locks to place a gate when he is at the top

#

and tell me once he placed it

grim tangle
#

4 PIs lul

rare jackal
#

our locks arent super fast and there was still plenty of time

gaunt moat
#

hold up. 4 PI? kekw

rare jackal
#

we took 7 minutes to down it so yeah

gaunt moat
#

on the other hand, he didn't have WF

grim tangle
#

damn I only had 52% wft uptime on that fight my shaman is trolling me he has one job!

sudden canyon
#

would it be hard for blizzard to implement the error "A more powerful spell is already active" for snapshot/exsanged bleeds to not overwrite them without the use of WA. or do they not care? or do they not know? do we know if they know?

im normally a sub rogue player, so i have a very basic question. In raid (with dragon temp blades) am I running amplifying poison and atrophic poison? or am i supposed to run two lethal poisons?

drifting cloud
#

deadly, amp, atro and crippling

coral loom
#

i can only run 2 poisons though cant i?

balmy condor
#

2 lethal 2 non lethal

#

1 additional lethal and non-lethal

#

you start with baseline 1

#

kinda wonder if blizz will change or remove exsang

#

since they said they would a couple of months ago

balmy condor
#

it's probably a remove angle

#

for 10.1 or maybe 10.2

marble hemlock
balmy condor
#

that's not cope

#

that's just the most realistic outcome

marble hemlock
#

i like how we went from

balmy condor
ebon notch
#

if whispyr plays exsang it means its good

#

and they wont remove it

marble hemlock
#

10.0.5 to 10.0.7 to " 10.1 or 10.2"

balmy condor
#

no no, they would only remove it if it were played

#

like kingsbane

marble hemlock
#

exsang removed with 12.0 prepatch

balmy condor
#

things that don't get played and people don't want to play get buffed

#

like sepsis

#

so we all need to play exsanguinate

balmy condor
#

yes

dense herald
# balmy condor like sepsis

Question re. This - what in your opinion makes sbs any better of an ability than sepsis outside of raw power?
Personally it’s the reason I hate most covenant abilities, they’re just thrown in there with minimal synergy with the spec that you just hit on cd and add bloat. In what way is sbs any more fun (esp on ST) that sepsis?

thorny pond
#

SBS generates combos, middling cleave

#

in terms of synergy or flavor

#

I mean

balmy condor
#

where do you even fit sepsis in

#

you get empowered garrote at the start now

#

so you want to hold it

#

but you also don't want to use it out of shiv/deathmark cause big cd

#

so then you clip it?

ebon notch
#

gotta exsang the sepsis

balmy condor
#

and you can't play exsang cause that's just giga fucked

#

and then your vanish is all fucked

#

and it doesn't line up for deathmark

#

so then you don't have anything 2 minutes later

#

what an awful fucking ability

#

sbs isn't interesting

#

but at least I don't hate playing it

dense herald
#

Yeah that’s fair, I just don’t think an ability that we ‘don’t hate’ adds anything to the spec whatsoever, it’s just there for the hell of it which I hate and for me both sepsis and sbs feel like that as well as many other covenant abilities that are built to ‘work’ for 3 specs
I’d argue covenant abilities should be weaned out or reworked to be made spec specific with actual synergy to the specs, feels like they’ve just kept them because of the feels-bad the player base reported when we lost all our abilities after legion

#

Also I just hate shooting giant green spikes or using blue butterfly looking abilities as a rogue but that’s another arguement

balmy condor
dense herald
#

With the invasive arguement yeah I agree, except perhaps on intermittent adds that are constantly dying where you are constantly refreshing to 3 stacks of sbs and feel like you’re pressing it more often that FoK

balmy condor
#

when does that happen

oak sky
#

sbs is really pog in cleave/aoe

#

so awesome we dont get to play it

#

#

but like st meh

#

rather have wound attack

balmy condor
#

rather have anything

#

oak sky

any other ability or effect for st

If I have CoS ring and ernog ring both 421 any speculation on which ring would get replaced in 10.07 ring? Asking xuz it's a vault decision

balmy condor
#

cos ring if anything

#

but not sure right now if it replaces any ring at all

oblique jackal
#

What if blizzard got rid of sin as a spec

balmy condor
#

the 10.0.7 ring is like 380 ilvl or some garbage

oak sky
#

remove rogue

#

isnt it upgradeable

balmy condor
#

the gems have to carry real hard

#

idk

oblique jackal
#

It’s upgradable to 424

balmy condor
#

the last TC chatter I heard about the ring is that it's questionable if the ring is bis

high wagon
#

Gotcha I'll take the cos ring then better chance I get any shoulders to tier than a 421 ring

Why do we vanish garrote AFTER the second DM rather than right before?

I distinctly remember reading that but I don't remember where

raven knoll
#

The base ilvl of the ring is 380 or smth but you can upgrade it I think

strange python
#

Theoretically if the ring goes to 418 or 421 or whatever and it can proc fire damage, you could replace cowl with 424 helm

oak sky
#

its 424 ring

#

but it has no stats iirc

strange python
#

But that's a lot of min maxing for what will probably last a few weeks

And sin logging is a shit show of PI anyways

Its a sign boys copium

We need no buffs guys nerf the rest to our lvl starege

unironically would be good for the gam

grim jay
#

Yeah even less people would clear content starege

oak tangle

but won't work until they can somehow split dh into a st vs aoe spec talent tree

Sorry i do a mistake nerf the rest to our lvl except hunters they can be nerfed into oblivion ty

#

would you guys replace a heroic grieftorch with a mythic icon if you know youre never getting a mythic grieftorch

Is having two channeling trinkets bad?

#

box + grieftorch?

#

reeee

#

Like I want to take the hands because they are BiS but grieftorch sims a lot better, ring has 200+ leech but my other two rings are maxxed CoS and HoV rings

frail rivet
#

I feel like ill never change the hands ever and want to take them for that reason only

quasi pine
#

I have the exact same, hate running both but the dps output is ok so I stick to that for the moment

frail rivet
#

hmmmmonkascheme

grim jay
#

Odds of getting 421 hands arent that bad. All about how often you do which content and on what difficulty

frail rivet
#

I did yesterday my first +20 completion :p and just first 2 mythic raid bosses

#

Ill aim at 18,19+ this week for 4 dung chest

#

I cant really do a +20 I feel like

#

55k dps on HoV yesterday for the +20, shameless

grim jay
#

Guess I'd take hands then and hope for m icon

#

Or maybe the grieftorch another time

drifting cosmos
#

Yea 55 seems a bit low on 20

frail rivet
#

was my key and was pushing for a 20 with frens c: we did it after all

#

just didnt time it ofc

grim jay
#

I'm boosting 20s and the overall dps with 3 ppl dealing 55k each

#

Isnt much lower than what we have in boostruns

#

Aside from tank/heal dps variance

frail rivet
#

I avg 80k in algethar

#

but algethar always has big numbers

#

but not on a 20, much lower

grim jay
#

I average like 120-ish I think, with some swings

drifting cosmos
#

Sin is kinda in a rough spot for keys I guess

grim jay
#

On 20s AA

#

On sub tho

Sin is fine if you get confident in your gameplay

drifting cosmos
#

Do the right dmg but might not look that good in details

grim jay
#

And as I said, 55k on hov isnt that bad. Its just that everyone needs to pull his weight

shrewd night
grim jay
#

On 20s to time

frail rivet
#

We werent planning to time it

#

like my boomkin friend has just a bit less dps then me and a shammy had 58k maybe?

grim jay
#

Yeah its more like you can do it with the dps so you dont have to feel like its too much

frail rivet
#

but the shammy was a rando that did multiple 20+ idk

grim jay
#

You can aswell try to get easier 20s

#

CoS and SBG

#

For your weekly

#

Timed a 20 cos yesterday sitting at 87k while the other 2 had like 40-ish

frail rivet
#

ill def retry a 20+ this week

#

for 1 week

grim jay
#

Having 55k roughly overall per DD is viable

#

Be confident, do your thing and you can make it just fine

wet hare
#

I have a quick question, I got this dagger from vault and I simmed it. Sim told me that swapping it with my main hand would give me better dps. But my main hand is better than my off-hand so Im a little bit confused. Ritual blade is on my main hand.

#

I quess its say that because of my stats got screwed up right, I mean a have a LOT of unnecessary mastery

#

also this is the sim results

grim jay
#

You used gear compare

#

And didnt Account for your current mainhand to be used as offhand

wet hare
#

Doesnt gear compare count your current gears

grim jay
#

It sims what you put into it

#

If you select another item for 1 slot it sims that change

#

It doesnt rearrange anything else

#

Topgear does that as long as you select the items

ionic fox
#

sin should do 105-115k on AA

#

fortified ofc

grim jay
#

While shard MH with ritual blade OH might be your best setup

wet hare
#

Oh alright got it, I did not simmed while ritual on offhand and shard on main hand

# grim jay Having 55k roughly overall per DD is viable

Hi, I'm new to rogue and yesterday I did my first +12 dungeon. At the end I had 57k overall dmg. I think allready im a little overgeard with 395 ilvl but I'm a little scared my dps is way too low because I saw some videos where people do 80k overall or 100k dingeltarget dmg at bosses. If I know the dungeon good enough so I don't die, do you think with this dps it should not be a problem to maybe try to get into +15 keys?

wet hare
#

Alright then thank you very much

ionic fox
grim jay
#

Oh the convo before

#

Yes that was 20s

#

But also while learning and not the greatest gear I assume

shrewd night
lapis venture
#

Because I have no idea where else I can compare my self. I never look very detail how much dmg I should or could do

#

It's the first addon where I try to be "good"

grim jay
#

I wouldnt worry too much about your actual dps, mechanics and handling the spec right is more important. On like 18s and good gear you can start comparing somewhat

#

But not with top players either

lapis venture
#

Allright, thanks for the input

jade abyss
lapis venture
#

Oh lol, didn't notice 😄

grim jay
#

To get to your Main question tho

#

I guess you could do 15s

#

Didnt have more gear on my 15s back then either

#

Probably less actually

lapis venture
#

Thanks, I will try to learn the dungeon better and then slowly climp to 15 i guess.

onyx crane
#

quick question

#

Storm-Eaters Boon, is it a good trinket?

grim jay
#

Yes

normal mist
onyx crane
#

it sims as a 7% upgrade

#

but it's not easy to use no

normal mist
#

Well it's easier to us roguee

#

Since we CAN shadowstep while using the trinket

onyx crane
#

it would replace my grieftorch nm cuz having 2 use trinkets is pain

turbid heath
#

Grieftorch over boon btw ..

#

Boon is a deathtrap unless you're 100% positive you can blink away from any danger

onyx crane
#

yeah and the 7% is dungeonslice too...

#

let's see what it is on patch

turbid heath
#

I'd suggest playing with it to get the feel for it, I don't mind the grief cast tbh cause you're constantly doing DMG whereas puzzle seems like obvious downtime

onyx crane
#

puzzle is great for prepull though

grim jay
#

People making boon usage look like rocketscience

onyx crane
#

cuz in my vault I got boon, grief and technique on hc

#

it is a tough choice to make

grim jay
#

Yeah no

#

Easy torch

onyx crane
#

but I have torch on nm

#

for st hc torch sims better for aoe it prefs boon

grim jay
#

Thats kinda obvious as far as sims go

#

Do you have icon ?

#

Puzzle?

onyx crane
#

no I have 402 bottle

onyx crane
#

so the verdict is hc grieftorch to replace nm grieftorch?

grim jay
#

Dunno, personally playing with boon since like week 2 of raid it feels like it aint as big in actual usage

#

I get roughly the same from M icon for example

#

Personally on sin I'd use puzzle + grieftorch over boon

#

In m+

sonic spindle
#

I’m getting discouraged, I’m trying to pump my little heart out, but I’m green and sometimes blue parsing and I don’t wanna get benched for barely breaking 60k dps when I can tunnel boss.

gaunt moat
#

Before you get discouraged, try analyzing what can and should be changed

#

for example, easy changes are consumables

sonic spindle
#

I always use the feast and then phial of versatility, crit food when I use personal food.

grim jay
#

I mean

#

Just use wowanalyzer

#

For the basics

gaunt moat
#

What about potion of power?

#

runes?

sonic spindle
#

Yea, I can see there’s a few things it dinged me on, like forgetting my buzzing rune and I missed some rupture uptime 😦

#

I def have some things to work on fosho. I just feel like a bad rogue 😦

verbal mantle
#

there are many things to optimize gameplay wise before thinking about consumables
Id say spending time comparing your logs to good rogue can be a start, it is much of a rotation issue? what can you improve on your gear? which fight I'll play and how is it played

#

figure out what did you miss, like rupture uptime like you did, practice more until you get more comfortable

gaunt moat
#

Getting better is an iterating processes where you learn where to improve
and then even further on how to improve on every specific fight
but as a starting point, gotta check you've got the basics down

sonic spindle
#

I know I don’t cast bone spike as much as other people, but I have trouble knowing when to fit it in

frail rivet
#

oh boys quick question why do we cast envenom before shiv instead of the opposite?

gaunt moat
#

I usually use it if I used mutilate and i'm at 3-4 CPs

frail rivet
#

at least the single target rotation with exsang was like that If i was not mistaken owo

sonic spindle
#

I shiv before envenom, am I doing that wrong too lol

gaunt moat
#

shiv buffs envenoms damage
but the consensus is just use shiv on CD, since it also buffs your poison applications, and you don't want to miss shiv casts

frail rivet
#

im maxxing so many things lately aaa got my lariat

#

triple socket

#

now to choose the gems..

normal mist
#

Big crit small mastery gems

#

Usually those are the ones

#

Or just sim them all

frail rivet
normal mist
#

I believe the proc is different

#

Can't confirm

#

There's a command for the lariat gems here but i can't recall

frail rivet
#

!neck

prisma monolithBOT
normal mist
#

Exactly

#

It procs crit

#

If small crit

frail rivet
#

if small crit it procs mastery

#

but isnt mastery = crit as stats priority?

#

i still dont understaaaand

normal mist
#

I believe it always procs the stats that the gem gives the least

#

I crafted mine ages ago and Whispyr told me to go big crit small mastery

#

Never changed the gems after that xD

outer cairn
#

Well tried ST Sub on Kurog vs DtB and DtB was doing significantly better

gaunt moat
#

I assume that's heroic?

outer cairn
#

no it was mythic last night. I didn't do Sub 2 target because adds are pretty much handled so that could be a big difference, but not sure

#

Was recommended to me to go ST if adds weren't a problem

frail rivet
#

tfw the faq doesnt explain exactly

#

last whispyr posts also dont tell what gem to consider

#

wowhead is the same

normal mist
#

Sim all of them then

gaunt moat
#

If you take sub for that fight it's definitely for add damage.
sin beats sub on ST (though not by much), so that's not surprising.

outer cairn
#

I may give the 2 target build a go. Think it really just swaps out first dance and the extra shadowstep for the first shuriken storm talent and replicating shadows

#

have to look again

gaunt moat
#

I'm recommend just staying sin. after adds nerfs, ST is higher prio

outer cairn
#

yeah. It's moreso practicing the spec as well a bit more as we continue to progress because I know Sub is going to be better for the later fights.

#

idk what Diurna is like. I've been Sin on her and funneling dmg but not sure if that's going to be the same case come Mythic if she has other adds or something

gaunt moat
#

We haven't killed her yet, got to 23%
but so far we're trying to put as many people ST as possible while still killing adds on time. that's the puzzle of the fight.

outer cairn
#

makes sense. I think my RL more so wants me ST on Diurna, or possibly go Sub for adds. I know Sub will be better for Raz when we get there.

#

We got Kurog to 3.8. Think its a matter of ppl using cds during intermission, so probably going to get a talking to about that last intermission to save everything and should get it Thursday. Not sure how Dathea is going to go. Heard it was rough.

pure moth
#

Its not as bad as people say.

gaunt moat
#

yeah, it's worse peepochrist

outer cairn
#

lol. I just know a lot of Sin rogues have said they have to go IC for that fight for the silence

#

or were made to go

gaunt moat
#

what we did, we kept 3 dps on main platform all fight. including me, because sin aoe is giga garbage.
we finished fight in 3 platforms only.

outer cairn
#

right and true

gusty mirage
outer cairn
#

My b fam. I referenced it because I felt your pain when you talked about it

subtle kettle
outer cairn
#

in the faq

outer cairn
pseudo hamlet
#

But it's best to sim yourself. For example, with my gear haste/crit gems are the best.

subtle kettle
#

The whole thing is a sim yo self moment

outer cairn
little light
#

yeah sim usually tells me to go haste/something for st

#

but depends on what actual stats you have now

#

trinkets/etc

#

if you sim for slice or patchwerk multitarget it will most likely tell you to do big crit small mastery gem

#

but also the dif is gonna be like 100-200 dps in most cases

frail rivet
#

big crit simmed 6dps more lul

gaunt moat
#

Gems make so little difference it's not worth sweating too much about it. it's 200dps tops.

frozen jasper
#

is it possible to give cc-immune mobs different colors in plater?

balmy condor
storm onyx
#

So you can do it even if there are no default options

frail rivet
#

problem with simming is that you sim x when variables is an unique array, and when you change a single element in that array you sim differently tinfoil_pepe

balmy condor
frail rivet
#

have mercy

frail rivet
#

i already bought the gems an hour ago

balmy condor
#

Like it’s not going to randomly sim different gems are 400 dps better Just Cause you changed bracers

frail rivet
#

Yeahh was talking bout sims in general not gems

#

if I listened to sims i should have crafted toxin boots long ago

balmy condor
#

It’s the same concept though HmmNote

#

Sims are a tool, you use them to get an idea of what’s good and what’s not, and then you use your brain a little to interpret the results

storm onyx

Anyway, my guides explain it fine just read better :)

So interesting to see all kinds of buffs for other classes yet nothing for rogues. If I remember correctly, I thought few weeks ago there was a mention of a blue post talking about possibility of exsanguinate rework/removal. I was wondering if you guys heard any updates or have any news

echo heath
#

Realz is playing everything close to chest, we can only assume they want assassination rogues to reroll

Exsanguinate was too powerful to take down. We lost the war. The devs were one of the many casualties.

All excited for a 421 Puzzle box upgrade to find out it's a fantastic upgrade of....

Not i don't feel so bad about upgrading chest by 6ilvl, at least that was 340dps

I was trying to see what changes should I be expecting in 10.07......couldn't find any. All I could find was how almost every class is getting some kind of boost, the ones that didn't ,have had major buffs. Don't get me wrong this is not a whining post or anything of that nature

#

with every spec getting buffed 10%,5% and all that why did we get nerfed again?

strange python

But it's way past time to revert them imo

nocturne current
#

You know the only thing that actually bothers me, is not really the fact they nerfed Exsanga but that they kept it as a very very boring talent.. It's borderline confusing for new players and it's really really boring on design, you don't see the damage.. no particular animation either.. if you don't even have weakauras or some bleed tracker you don't even notice anything happened.

#

It behaves like a passive even tho it's an active spell.

#

And a 3 min one, should be fun or cool to use.

Should be

uncut echo

Make it a 15% haste to bleeds

#

Ggez

proud hollow
gaunt moat
#

That's a very reasonable take.
But keep in mind, this talent was "cancelled" in week 3 of expansion.
It's safe to say, they didn't even want you to take it.

But as fate would have it, we got a trinket called "puzzle box" and we got the 4p set bonus.
and what do you know.. the cancelled talent is performing highest.
I don't believe they planned for that to happen.

Idk how I would redesign Exsanguinate. I would probably make it so the target stores all bleed damage done during X seconds and then explodes for the same amount to up to 8 targets or something.
