Like this for 40s fights
Does curse of weakness stack with mind numbing?
yeah
that should be accurate enough for 40 seconds
but it's definitely not optimized
since now we need to consider openers
yes
And the new DK slow
Ty
mm much more greedy think
Do DKs actually spec that tho?
Unsure, but iirc all of the attack speed slows are multiplicative with eachother too
if I have to start optimizing shadow dance kingsbane exsanguinate sepsis
for a 40 second kill time
I might actually lose my shit
the sample luckily looks pretty acceptable
To be fair, outside of the end boss I guess, the "shortest fight" max dps is what a lot of people will look and drool over at wcl ;)
I added a line during the sepsis fix
to force the rupture prep for exsang
which seems to have fixed a lot of opener stuff for other builds
good to see it's working
Purple name Whispyr 
Hey so reading though all the things and trying to figure out what to craft etc. Is Slimy Boots still BIS? Or did I read that wrong? Also Im looking at my onyx ring, Is this soemthing I should be replacing or is it still good to use in M+ and or raid? Thanks gamers.
like the fact that fragment still has 9 stacks
when it's supposed to have 0
but ya know
the devil you know
versus the devil you don't
blabla
toxic should be slightly better now
onyx ring can be replaced
oh good, I can amke this this week so i think Ill do that.
but it's very close to bis
you'd have to get some banging rings to make that happen
But if it's a 40s kill, you basically have lust for the entirety of the encounter which means that you don't get to use tea for the energy gain at all, which would force the apl to already use it by itself for the mastery because of the ttd line
I mean sure it could be used twice during Deathmark and once during Shiv
Yeah but "dumping at end" isn't really optimal
I got kinda crap in my vault but there is a ring that sims a bit higher in M+ (5 boss target for 40sec)
But that's almost what it's doing already
I wouldn't suggest that
You'd probably chain it at some point
So i question i have been asking myself for this week since its forti. Would you guys run a heroic boon over 437 harlans/441 brackenhide trinket which name i forgor? Or should i just sim it
Probably just sending em all during Deathmark
That's easy enough to test
Easy 1.4k dps from just sending during dm
master assassin probably gains some value as well
Should I be using dungeon slice for M+ topgear? (sorry for cutting randomly in)
But at the end of the day, if a kill is less than a minute, it's probably a safe bet to throw everything you have during lust and cds
I think that's something people instinctively do as well
I usually use DS. And then two separate sims for the different parts of DS.
As in 1 for a ~140 s ST fight.
And one with this type of fight style
adds,name=SmallAdd,count=5,count_range=1,first=0,cooldown=45,duration=15,duration_stddev=2
adds,name=BigAdd,count=2,count_range=1,first=20,cooldown=50,duration=30,duration_stddev=2
Though I usually have 7 and 4 as counts personally for sub
Yeah Cev
Everyone have their own methods for simming m+
Like the shorter the fight, the easier it is to be intuitive
The hard part about "feeling" in WoW combat is to make a connection to how a decision I take now will affect things further along the fight
Yep, millions of things to consider. Fight length, adds, forced damage stops, cooldowns, syncing... it goes on and on
I have a friend who cannot grasp the concept of holding cds or not using everything together at once all the time
He's super casual and always saves every single cooldown in his kit so he can use them ALL together for maximum burst
bro likes big numbers
Sounds fun though
a man of culture
Absolutely
In the end, the goal is to succeed. And identifying what is keeping your group from succeeding is very important. Sometimes it is maximizing overall dps. Sometimes it is maximizing dps during a certain phase. And a plethora of different stuffs
side note how are we (assa rogues) on the scale of dps? Ie we in a solid postiontion or is it as usual?
it's not great
my rashok kill was super banging
it's like rank 4 atm still, rank 2 without pi
and then you open the log
and you're like
oh
unholy dk did 113k and it's a green parse
assa rogue did 116k and it's one of the highest
and it's a blue parse sandwhich otherwise
very cool
is lariat better than toxic patch at 5 elemental gems you think
not even close
fml i had 6 foken sockets
turn off details, dont look at logs, now you are happy that boss died and not sad that you are only so high cause others did shit
bomb dispenser question...can you put multiple bombs on the same target?
how would you do that
no, because there's a cooldown on the trinket
you can't have more than 1 bomb out at any given time
because of it
huh. it said it stored 3 bombs, thought you could use them all. Kind of dumb to phrase it that way if you can only use one at a time
it has a 10 gcd or so after a usage
most trinkets have a trinket cd, thats why 2 on use is getting hated
because you delay them because of that cd
ya I'm using beacon now and I just got bomb in my cache.
so I'll be using 2 on use...forgot about the 30 sec cd
I just tried it with 8 sockets on my own character, and a 447 lariat is a full 1% worse, even when it's replacing my 441 neck
only downhill from there
as long as you dont bind bomb to mutilate or envenom you wont really have troubles with 2 on use
opener is probably a bit scuffed unless you bind it to shiv though
already so many keybinds
ye just macro it to shiv, because you press shiv only later in the opener
and bacon is your 5th cast i think
its funny I sim better with the call to suffering as sub
you can think of them like charges, the bombs stick for 7 seconds before exploding, and you can throw a bomb every 10 seconds
so technically you could rapid fire them
1 bomb every 10 seconds
and then run out of charges
cause it takes 30 seconds to make a new bomb
bomb-bomb-bomb-beacon
that beacon would be 40 seconds into the fight
but if it doesn't miss you a beacon cast, sure
just do the puzzlebox opener with bomb on shiv
problem solved
or the cursed precast thingy rosvall and whispyr were talking about above
that might overcap you a charge if you're playing lightweight I think
let me run the timings in my head real quick
yeah it's actually worse than that
cause you would beacon -> shiv basically right
but you wouldn't be able to bomb cause the 30 second shared cd
and by the end of that 30 second shared cooldown, you would have to hold shiv
which would lose you shiv #3 from your lust
which is kinda fine
but then you hold shiv for over 40 seconds after that
hmm, bomb is not on gcd right? so in theorie i could press envenom and insta press shiv so shiv doesnt get cast but the bomb gets
which would mean you definitely overcap a bomb
I mean yeah that's possible
I just beaconed a turnip punching bag and it was only 20 seconds until bomb?
could do the same thing macroing it to deathmark
bomb and bacon sounds like a pain in the ass in the opener
and then just press your deathmark button
when deathmarks on cooldown

or, could be safer to macro into ambush perhaps hm
thought about it, but that means i would have to send dm on cooldown in dungeons
you can macro it to ambush and you press it during the gcd
or out for it for both if you have proc
macro it to sap, there is no way you would ever have to press sap xD

I can hear my raid leader yelling at me for spamming sap on a raid boss...
where was the APL code ?
are you not already?

your tier bonus mr murlock
does beacon benefits from 4pc?
no
Cosmetic tier bonus 
dunno, in my 16-18 keys this week adds died so fast i didnt even have the motivation to press it because i wanted boss dmg
let him complain as long as you do dmg its fine 
also when is murlock gonna be a playable race
but your aoe damage from tier bonus mr murlock

not without abusing your 4pc you're not
there is 1 tank i like doing dungeons with, because he understands that big pulls on assa are fun af
other tanks pull like the smallest shit you could
and i just wanna quit the key
tell me to abuse my tierset again and i will DM a critter to get it
RIP gently squeezed toads
This is how I played always when I was playing at a high level
Though I did a lot of log digging in breaks
i have details on, but like never look at logs
because that shit would demotivate the hell out of me, seeing someone with green parses above me and my purple parse
Ah, no more for like seeing where damage patterns align with different phases of the fight etc
ah, ye i usually got that down by the fact that i send everything on cooldown, and after like 3-4 times i realise when it doesnt make sense to send it
because boss phases/intermission or whatever
but looking at logs is probably easier and smarter
btw wasnt it supposed to be volcanic week? why is it raging again
tried macroing envenom to the bomb trink, worked pretty well through the opening and burst phases. thanks
dont you have bacon too?
yes
well i guess its fine in the opening since envenom cast is so late š¤
I had to hold one envenom like 2 sec to get becon off later in rotation
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
what im probably gonna do if i ever get bomb is macro it to my ambush keybind
so fragment 447 is still better than dice 441 ? š¤
What's our best trinket combo?
Beacon+Bomb or Fragment goes somewhere there?
Found the pin*
hello quick question does the toxic armor patch has to be on the wrists only or i can do any piece i need? (ilvl i mean)
can be on other leatherworking pieces (i have mine on my belt) so i can use brez bracers for example
ok nice
wrist was probably the best choice in the bis sim, because of the other pieces you wear there. I crafted wrists because that was my shittiest item
its mostly because:
head/chest/gloves/leg/shoulders are tier slots and probably allready blocked
boots is slime boots
so you more or less only have wrist and belt left, but sark belt exists aswell if you are lucky
well it's gonna be gloves cause it's my lowest + i have 4p set
i wish, im just farming NL for the crit mastery belt
got 3 haste mastery rings already with leech and avoid
I just crafted shoulders 
was a bigger upgrade to go from 437(tier)->447
than wrists 424->447
I wish I had bacon
My apartment always smells for a week when I make bacon
dont you have windows?
wait so bomb dispenser + beacon is best since fragment was oversimming?
ah
Fragment +0.2% over beacon because bis means bis
And 450 beacon slightly worse than oversimming 447 fragment
"bad"
I mean if frags simming 18% higher
you guys throw that word around like crazy lol
Thatās quite a buff
i like lime
and here i thought bacon is ultra broken shit
okay so a trinket that is only .2% worse than something simming 18% higher than it should
is not ultra broken in your opinion 
om confused, time for a nap
If I crit all my bacons itās almost 10% of my damage
beacon better

i like doing a dungeon run and beacon is like 5-7% of my total dmg
something you press once every 2,5min
good thing that borrowed power is no more
and now we have tier sets and item effects+stupid trinkets instead

thats all my small brain had to hear
borrowed power is now inside our spec tree, but without the good part of the borrowed powers
i should have just looked at the pin message before getting confused by numbers -.-
Talents arent really borrowed power
dunno, i look at the covenant abilities as borrowed power
but i only started with wow in SL so probably thats why my take is so wrong
makes sense
now give me the legendary parts of the talents, because that made them fun
Sure do but the ventilation in the apartment is terrible
maybe you should try linux 
we dont run frag anymore, my guild hasnt seen a single bomb trinket yet and only 2 beacons from vault

i will but just feelsbad havent seen either one
yeah i'm probably like last on the dps prio list for bacon
cuz they gave me the first heroic bomba
I was so excited when i got a 447 frag in vault too

Reject bomba, return to boonge
i am prio for first beacon but it has yet to drop and i gotta roll against like 4 other people for bomb

i never got a boon 
we have reached the decision point
of pushing io
or doin 8x underrots
for vault

neither, its time to raidlog
How do we feel about Arterial Precision for raging & fortified week?
Or is the new raging less of a pain?
im probably gonna run it in dungeons with smaller pull sizes
but wont bother with it in dungeons like freehold
Dunno why you have the option of dealing damage and wanna choose the option of being useless except for removing a debuff most can dispell better
And especially without being a deco item while doing it tho
cant ambush something that never existed 
but tbh i thought about running it in halls and vortex
because halls execute boss and well pulls dont really exist?
and vortex its like max 5 mobs or so
or atleast with the tanks i have been having
Sim both m+ builds on ST and cleave and tell me the result š
No
oh i know its less, its just the feeling of ambush procs on that boss
Thatās why itās a bit oversimming

I also know that we have the cursed recuperate bit that procs it even if not talented
So who is telling the truth
Something something donāt believe his lies insert picture of tettles
Itās not tettles
Boomies have the best theorycrafting. Didnt you read the why to play and not to play boomie?
This is the boomkin pin
So Iām going to assume heās the liar

Did you just assume in 2023
Yeah
No point in arguing tbh
Obviously you should try and see how it feels, but personally I can't justify AP unless I know every pull will be 4 targets.
That dude isnāt even the one telling me lmao itās jund
rogue is always correct, thats why we get nerfs and they get buffs
eyo have a quick question, been doing some assa rotations and when I compare to my sim I am pretty spot on with damage done and amount of casts.. but for some reason my deathmark rupture damage is doing like 100k less than in my sims
Is there an interaction that causes this or something else?
Amen
I mean, the article didnt say he himself is the best, chicken tc overall
But toxic thorn is probably a gain for us, but weāll always have some munched by recuperator. Even if not talented, it creates a 0 heal event while snd is rolling because itās coded to SnD. So there are some tragic runs you can get into with it
Did you look at dot uptime? Crits?
It could be fragment trinket? Idk go kill a boss, log it, and run it in wow analysizer
Happened 2 times in a row so I am not sure
the poisoned edges also dealt less damage
nah playing with essence and spitefulstorm at that time
Are you hitting a dummy
yes
Does your sim have assumed raid buffs
Are you comparing it with details
Nice paint skills whispyr š
Brews says it procs on stagger, which should imply that it could proc on self damage stuff like crit phial and neltharion trinket too
nah did a log that i just linked
But idk
I mean it proccing off of non-talented recup is 
Iām less flabbergasted by stagger
Yep
At least for the first dm it wasnāt an echoing reprimand rupture
Slice and dice always has a healing component, its just 0 if you dont spec recup
Blizzards finest š
Wait jk apl doesnāt have that
š
Yea I just dont know why its doing less in deathmark but doing the same overal dam as the sim
so wasnt sure if I am missing an interaction or just something else going on
Well shouldnāt say apl the sample ability log in the sim didnāt do the normal opener
thats in the sim
the passive heal effects get automatically parsed so soothing and slice and dice should be considered
what the sim isn't considering is active use of heal spells such as vial
i did the same opener as the sim even though other info say to skip the mutilate at the start

Healing pot/health stone too I assume?
The thing is, the sim is combining 4set with the rupture and the log is not. Add them together like in the sim, it is closer
The boots post was updated like 11 hours ago
oh
So maybe Iām spreading misinformation on the internet 
the entire thing is a bit weird
because it procs from a lot of things
e.g. also the leech back enchant
I guess that could be it ye
i didn't know too, and had to ask
TIL
People laughed about me saying they should check that 
funny enough
Then I am probably not missing something interaction related I will just send it on a reclear boss and see how it play out, ty for input š @proper tapir @blazing jewel
i did weeks back look at the code of slime boots trying to figure out how they are implemented
because i wasn't sure about them, even asked mystler/koji
so was surprised that my hinch was correct that its referencing the wrong effect
No problem mate! Good luck
but i didn't look at the table of effects, but assumed it to be correct, so missed the bug
I thought you were playing exsanguinate thats why the opener looks so weird nvm ignore what I said with the casts
@gaunt moat thanks for the sepsis WA, very useful.
basically a lot of things are abstracted in simc, and its not always easy to find what you look for ^^
š š
And your chromatic essence is set to all on the sim I believe
i am honest with you, i think stuff like this should be easier understandable
it creates complexity at points that are not needed
Yeah. Same with when I said you should check WM interacting with inev because of the uptime diff
It should just trigger it tbh
But doesnt
yee tried simming without it but the mastry I am getting doesnt affect the rupture dam at all
Sometimes stuff is weird. Dont think its hard to just make a whitelist for what the boots should interact with either
what are the stats for chest piece tier
i sometimes dont understand raidbots
tells me tier gloves that are 3ilvl over my current tier gloves are a 900dps increase

ā¤ļø
head is fine too for assassination, i took that from the sub faq
sub does not like the stats on head
they legit playing 0 haste
I thought we were all putting toxic on head and going crit/mast on it!
ı put toxic on wrist
same
Gross
cuz crit mas
ı am asking this pretty often but how much haste do u guys use :)))
Did it add some enchants you are missing ? 
but im not really lookin at my stats, i just look at the sim
same here
Not that it ever happened to me 
I think 2%
you can already feel that you have 9% haste and not 8 right?

10%haste
that giant 1 energy each second
dude i can tell the difference between 5% and 5.1%
i have a calculator in my head
i may burn out when anyone mentions numbers
but i can tell that im getting 0.00001 more energy a second

haste is the funny number you care about just enough so you can bitch that you want PI for logs
respect
lmk if u find the perfect haste % š
aight im gonna contact you first
You think blizzard will ever fix their UI so you can access the ālootā tab in the journal easier?
Because if you go to shadowlands and you click the tab that showed us our legendary powers and pick item sets from the drop down, it shows the new tier sets lol
Kind of a weird oversight on their part
im pretty sure you could have ended with "you think blizzard will ever fix" and the answer would already have been no
4% worn atm
not sure if this speaks for them or not
but the m+ loot table in the dungeon journal is not even correct
you can get items that are not on it
How do you use bomb dispenser, do you macro it to a basic spender so it uses it on cd?
I bound it to shiv and mutilate
my point is, there is a lot of inconsistencies, and i am not sure if there is a high incentive to make things work perfect

If I ever even see it
my gf was angry
when she wanted 3 items from a dungeon
then run it like a maniac and got the 4th item in the same slot
that wasn't in the loot table
but idk, blizz did seem to update the ui incremental, maybe there is hope
The adventure guide/dungeon journal is a disaster lmao
Which I mean I can see it get overlooked for other stuff
in the Raidbot sims, I can't find a weapon buff, am I missing something?
Because realistically it doesnāt significantly affect gameplay either way
in Constant buffs section I can see well fed Phial and such, but not weapon runes. am I looking in the wrong place? or are they just not simmed in?
are you looking for buzzing and such?
i jsut checked on phone, where you set what food and so on you want you can open the more options button, there you can set weapon runes too
Yeah, I keep bomb in the top slot and have this macro:
#showtooltip Mutilate
/cast Mutilate
/use 13
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
Check the general tab for said character and it shows as a second enchant as well
Errr summary
I was checking the sims done by Whispyr
oh xD
wanted to see if the stats are buffed or unbuffed to work on them accordingly
get fucked brother
Might have to turn the heat up a little
If your bacon doesnāt crit. Iām just saying
Does bomb dispenser trigger on use CD for other Trinkets?
Yes
Except anvil
Most annoying part of having bomb dispenser is if you have it macro'd to mutilate you can't mutilate in your opener cus you need to use fragment
(Maybe not anymore)
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
Thats why you dont macro it to mutilate
Im gonna macro it to ambush if i ever get one
We get ptr notes today. Surely
anyone else simming better with other rings over annulet with the sepsis build?
For ST i am, for DSLICE im not
Amount of ambush casts is enough to keep bomb used on cd?
I don't think so
I dont have to cast ambush
But its on q, not my stealth bar
So i can press q for ambush or to apply bomb
Or both
I just put mine on mutilate and be aware of not using it before exsanguinate combo
I have it macroed on Mutilate + binded
Why not, I am not aware of this
so I can use the other on use trinket
I dont like mutilate because what if beacon is coming up, boss is 5% and if i press mutilate it uses bomb and 1 beacon cast less
I can already see myself wasting a sepsis proc do to this
Oh, ok. I am still with Torch as 2nd
that only happens if you only have 10 seconds till the boss dies
just start typing /cast mutilate it this is going to happen KEKW
speaking of bacon, since we hold vanish I was thinking about doing this opening: pre-cast bacon on pull> vanish>proceed to regular opening
best I can do for you is another datamined cosmetic
take it or leave it
No warlock changes?
they already have those
so we get cosmetics/pet datamines

I had a mental breakdown last night
and messaged whispyr in all caps "OUR SPEC FUCKING SUCKS"
and that was the end of the discussion
Subtlety is good in m+ god I'm so tired of whiny rogues. Triple DPS scum
Today's reddit moment.
That only works for Sub since they take invigorating Shadowdust now, Sin players will want to still hold Vanish for the 5th and 7th DM
I was watching max yt video with tettles, dratnos, jb and someone else. And at the end of vidoe they were talking about changing stuff etc
and max was reading a comment from his community about rogue changes and tettles just said they dont need changes and so
damn i was really thinking smacking this guy
5th and 7th dm? How long are your encounters god damn
ouch
I had an 11 minute rashok kill in LFR on my pally
Our warlock and evokers die instantly, and we take repair breaks mid pull
Community perception is a big reason we don't get changes. The community would rage
Also, hate to say it, but blame Guy.
He has had three opportunities on Max's Stream now to outline our problems and every time comes back to "eh rogue is fine ish"
correct
InfiniteHabibi is an opp to assassination rogues
If you're gonna get flamed regardless, outline our problems.
problem is guy is forever an optimist (heh)
Lost opportunity.
he'll look at the bright side
as long as outlaw isn't absolute dogshit
if it's comparable with the other 2 specs
"rogue is fine"
Alright lil peep
Thats fine, but the community hears a big name on a giant stream saying rogue is fine and thinks other complaints aren't reasonable
tbf even when he has said rogue sucks
people still think complaints aren't reasonable
Idr that
problem is the majority of players run into rogues in m+
If you're gonna take an L, you might as well take it while advocating for your benefit
and statistically
rogues are more prepared than other players
so they perform better
(helps that sub's aoe rotation can be done by a toddler)
so people go OMEGALUL ROGUE OP STOP CRYING ROUGES
because they all spell it rouge.

Real
so they don't compare apples to apples
they compare the dude trying to fill his vault in their 18-19 no leaver
to themselves
Not I asking the tank 600 times what pull heās going to do to determine whatās worth for CDs
like sub rogue is fine in m+
but rogue is not fine in raid
and anyone who thinks that
is actually high as fuck
well ig it depends on your definition of "fine"
because this week is when we all start seeing the disparity
we've had enough weeks for warlocks and DKs to get their OP trinkets
and get fully geared
and evoker*
sorry forgot them for some reason
we're about to be in for a very very rude awakening in the coming weeks
I gained 15 ilvl and went up 15k dps
other people gained 15 ilvl and went up 40k dps
lmao
I raid in a high ish level guild who thinks rogue is fine in raid because I'm dropping rank 1-5s every pull while they blue
didn't look so much in logs atm but how many sub rogue vs assa rogue are in mythic atm?
sub slightly better
all 3 pathetic
It doesn't help that rogue brought a ton of power from Vault into Aberrus so a lot of early strength made us look better than we are
Rogue stonks are dropping like a rock as weeks go by
yep
Especially sub.
I get that it's hard to buff rogues at 10.1 launch because of that
But the lack of tuning since launch is weird
the disparity is about to break the mental of all of the rogue-kind
Devoker is better than sin ever was.
is not hard, but some ppl are crying if they buff us
Buffing rogue week 1 would've made sub stacked for week 1 which is bad. But we need help now.
if our pure ST spec get nuked to hell by other specs who arent really pure st then idk what to say
but they don't seem very concerned with releasing any information about rogue at all early
every other class gets a heads up
Anyway - rogue needs help this tier. We knew it from week one, but we looked good because of borrowed power xdd.
Anyway
we do not
@gusty mirage It's the exact same story of previous tier.
Heroic weeks? Easily topping raid meter. Assassination seems like it's gonna be strong.
Mythic weeks... struggle is real.
At least we didn't get nerfed this time.
we heard rumblings of tuning for the last half of 10.0
I wish I knew why devoker is avoiding hotfix nerfs like sin got.
people will always cry when they buff us. whether it's outlaw/sub in m+ or rmp in pvp, rogue gets a shit perception to the community (shit as in we're always op)
I took so much flame in this discord for saying the "faster pace of tuning" that got us nerfed in vault was going to be an outlier and not the norm......
Hero Class
They haven't tuned shit in aberrus
sure they have
They've tuned encounters. Not classes.
just nothing substantial
Not in any meaningful way
it was too early to tune classes
We are a 10% nerf while 1% ahead of the rest of the specs.
as of right now
someone's forgetting the 20% shiv buff, you heard tettles, it's insane š
tuning on heroic logs led to big issues
because ngl it's fucking depressing
Today or tomorrow is the new ptr update i mean if they don't release anything for us then we know what happen
our dev time got ordered to do the new evoker spec
the "utility" of soaking shit with cloak got cleaned out
@gusty mirage those are some well made arguments you made there
but Rogue is OP, so shut up

Rogue went from one of the most common to the least common classes and now we get less tuning because no one plays use anymore.
Negative feedback loop
Only tune hunters, druids, now there's too many hunters and druids to ignore them
"went to" mate rogue is the least played class for like 50% of the games lifetime lol
now we just rot
to everything
literally all damage unless we can immune or feint it
lmao
dot damage?
you're just dead buddy
unlucky
Feint is super overrated at this point.
Brackenhide 
3rd boss uldaman
While most raid damage is raid wide and most healing is aoe, feint offers very little value. You're unlikely to be saving any healer mana and you're unlikely to die unless everyone does.
3rd boss halls
i would laugh, but those are legit things i saw on reddit 
"rogue has nothing for that boss"
"you can use evasion for the bleed!!!!!! omg rogues just always want to be op"
I heard Atrophic is really good 
besides rashok and magmorax (because sometimes you just get hit double by the spittle lol good game blizzard)
feint kinda useless
tbf, thats not as stupid as "rogue can use Sap for incorp if they would use vanish for it"
In combat 
Same ppl say save your dispell for enrage
I loved being at 90% health, soaking the mythic mechanic
and proccing cheat death with feint
very cool
insane game
I also liked trying to reset magmorax last night
Can someone explain this for me
vanishing
and watching magmorax punch my asshole clean
then I melded
and he finished the job
Happy ending
you buff sepsis bonks w/ shiv, and the garrote max pandemic before exsang
doesnt really make a big difference overall, but sepsis->garrote->shiv is "better"
yeah my guild enjoyed it
why is the API lying to me then
š
That's what cloak is for. Feint stinks now
because many things are so minor that it doesnt really matter in the end
the robot likes to put shit on CD as often as possible, it hates missing casts
When the robot is forced to play sin it becomes suicidal
could be worse
LMAO
could be the rotten
The rotten is competitive again isn't it
the rotten is the best rogue build in the game
but it's cursed as fuck
its so good that not a single top50 log is using it 
The problem is it's not better enough to be worthwhile unless you play perfect and on pure single target.
very fight length dependant
Wait till farm. It'll be all over logs.
sanity dependant
not a single sane human will play that unless they wanna go for the 3x Pi rank1 log
but like
its #subtlety
they will tell you that sub is fine anyway
I hope 10.1.5 brings me even more SL covenant abilities
Sub isn't popular ATM lol
I just want to relive SL in DF
Your options are a cursed rotten build or a boring standard build
like, its 1 of those moments where i wanna see how those people react if it would just be "weak" in m+
not bad, just lower 1/3 for a short while
I would love rogue being bad in m+
bring back fleshcraft
and all those "sub gameplay in DF is so cool
i do dmg" react
just for rogues
and gemstones
we stole whats his name's royal jewels (his balls) and rub them for crit damage
SL was so shit I forgot his name
Well mage has shroud theyre about to be the new hero
S H R O U D
Obviously damage matters more
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
(nobody ever does shroud skips except some shity pugs that fuck themself with it)
I would suck Ion's cock for a brez over shroud
Sl brez item 
and it has a 80% chance to not work anyway cus some warlock/hunter pulls with pets/somone walks trought enemys/somone walks into stealth detection guys
SHROUD TICKS IN UNDERROT LOL
and the other 20% somone dies and instant releases and cant reach the group
cus OFC they dont have invis potions
So I noticed last week since finishing my new 4 set a lot of M+ bosses are like 2:20 kill time
So on your second vendetta you get no tier bonus at all
Its like š¢
You get it on the next pack 
they should bring it back up btw, with the stat change... . . . . .
your tanks don't afk for a minute after every boss?
I guess that's true on some bosses you do. Sometimes though you have to travel after boss... like all of them VP
or on the last boss of every dungeon
Nah, run with VDHs, they be zooooming
what a fucking terrible dungeon that is
love the pull variety
"skip 2nd dragon pull everything else"
k
there ya go
that's your variety
I don't like how they bring back old dungeons
and their trash count is
"lol pull everything"
like nice dude
season 4 BFA was loved because it opened up different route potentials for dungeons we've pulled thousands of times
so true
legit made underrot feel way different with just a seasonal affix
I miss shadowlands talent tree
You miss running CT on ST? š¤£
No. I miss how much simpler it was
I miss having my baseline utility existing
and not having to trade off damage for it
Anyone using a good sepsis wa?
Our talent tree is pretty simple
You just take the same shit everywhere
yeah I remember how much better motherlode was
the s4 affix made it a completely new dungeon
Yeh the one in Luxthos' package
Does that one track proc to when use empowered garrote?
Yes
It tracks everything
Sepsis cooldown, Sepsis duration, Empowered Garrote proc and duration
Sweet ty
Hi here š Quick question. Is it worth swapping 1 talent point from Improved Poison to run two Shiv charges?
Honestly kinda doesn't matter
question about the sepsis exang opener. Doesnt the sepsis-buffed garrote overwrite the stealth garrote and the stealth garrote is technically stronger?
They're the same.
So what you do with the Sepsis Garrote is extend the duration of Garrote to its maximum so you can Exsanguinate right after for maximum benefit
Why is Stealth Gar stronger?
The second Garrote from Sepsis is used after the Exsanguinated garrote drops.
Because Shrouded is worded like ass š
Sepsis procs all stealth garrote benefits
Including Improved Garrote and Shrouded
Wasn't the case previously, but now it is and it's pretty good
Or kinda was not but not really, Sepsis was a mess before
Ohhhh people read SS as like, "only when cast from Stealth" but it's all the time
Yeah there's 2 things Shrouded does
Increases Garrote damage by 20% all the time
and generates 2 extra CP's from stealth
But Improved Garrote is still the big one
And Sepsis procs that, so we're chilling
oh. did not know that. i think i read recently somewhere that stealth>vanish>sepsis. I guess thats not the case anymore
Thank you
Whispyr wrote that in one of the pins, idk what he was on about either so I just ignored that part
Best case scenario do we want 5/5 tier or is there a piece we want to avoid? (like haste versa headpiece)
Super best case scenario you get a Crit/Mast or Hast/Mast chest and replace the tier chest with it
High vers/mast chest is cringe
I see. Was wondering what to craft this week, since i already got the 1st dagger and slime boots. Got a shit headpiece but might just wait for tonights raid to see if it drops from any boss
Best simming item in my vault is assault neck, the high crit low haste one (heroic) but im also waiting to kill the boss š
You guys still using vers flasks in raid?
i do but im a cheap fuck
which one to craft - toxic or slimy feet ?
Guys I'm starting to believe that there ain't gonna be rogue changes in 10.1.5
Tale as old as time
I just replaced cowl with toxic head (crit/mast), it feels great but also simmed better than toxic wrist/belt
Then toxic your head dude!.... I mean.... Sim it and see
let me see realquick what i got to work with
Hey babe. Doing great, I have an audition to a professional orchestra on Monday so I'm grinding my ass off. It's a principal position so it's pretty sweaty.
meanwhile

I'm hanging in there, getting a little break from everything this weekend which should help :3

@proper tapir in theory, its better but im also increasing head ilvl to 437 (for now) and bracer to 428 (for now).https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/muCqESx7hznQzwje3YFUY7

Sounds like you gotta classic case of follow your heart, sim them all the way to 447 too and then you'll have all the data. You know, in life all we can do is hope we have the right regrets. You're good either way ā¤ļø
Big!
but you forgot about the most important parse
you 100 parsed our hearts
yes, big beacon crits

That?
we cant
I have no clue what you're talking about, sorry
like, we just cant interact with it at all
lmao
Can you elaborate a bit
I wonder if I can advertise bandaging when applying for groups
bandage
you can go Vulpera and throw your racial at it for 10% heal i gues
there is custom apl for sim
!whispyr

to give us accurate dps
Just run nightly, they updated the APL with Sepsis stuff
those changes got implemented already
latest has all the changes
thank u Oxi
Yeah you don't need it
thank u
oxi!!!
with the bomb dispenser is the anything to look out for or just press on cd ?
be mindful of any other active trinkets and cd timings

š
Guys what would talents look like if we had to take crimson tempest
For fights like nelt/sark with just small aoe phases
Am I being stupid or is the assa rogue rotation & opener difficult like I'm so confused
you'd drop venom rush for CT in the sepsis-no exsang build
You get used to it after practice
Becomes muscle memory very quickly
Just keep practicing
speaking of which, shucks, my fragment is bad now?!
what if I have exsang?
I wouldn't even bother with CT then tbh
but you'd drop imp poisons for CT
and probably something else
idk I haven't looked at including CT much
cause our aoe is almost as sad as I am

Also I know fragment isn't BIS now but when should I be using it 
it's not bad
Man that's awful
just not as good as it was simming
still solid trinket from m+ if you don't have at least heroic level raid trinkets available
Yeah, I picked up a nelth trinkey outta my vault
oh shit just saw that
thank god i didnt take it from vault today

almost lost avoid+socket bracers for nothing 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
quite a lot of dooming for a trinket that besides bomb+beacon is still up there no?
bomba + bacon trinket = bis
class trinket slightly behind
so also viable
cause I know people hate double on-use
even if bomba is sorta braindead on-use
if you want a good laugh
glad it was fixed
if you got 441s in most slots
run a droptimizer
and see how sad it is
to get 447s in those slots

dead ass a socket is worth more
all trinkets besides bacon & bomberman are buns
yep
they're okay alternatives at best
cause realistically a 441 bomb or beacon is just miles ahead of everything you'd get out of the m+ vault
hell a 437 of each is probably milesa head of 447 m+ trinkets
I'll fight them for you
give me their names and addresses
I'll be on a plane tomorrow.

Casual gaming?
Super casual. I'm still in full 420 gear from last tier
First time doing hc raid
About as geared as my rogue lmao
No bombo :(
Im pretty casual on my druid too tho i just do keys and show up for reclear
Once we see changes ill be back to rogue though 
so in 2025? 
That's optimistic of you

love rashok best boss so far
Rashok was great

was on vacation for experiements kill so I get to come in for the freeclear and straight to rashcock 
Gl mister shmeeps. I pray for your downfall
