Sims say 95% at bis, realistically 85-90% in a fight is good
@pliant remnant love it ty
I do 90-93% on average, but the idea of TTN sounds so much more comfy
yea u legit got like 1.2k haste
ofc a haste trinket is gonna be good
Just like branch making mastery worse
idk if i should keep running those now
because that puts me up to 15% haste i believe
why does branch make mastery worse?
not the enchants
becuase it provides a metric shitton of it, when it's at its most useful - pushing any lower mastery into DR
It's not 'worse'
at what point does DR occur?
That is pretty damn good, on my probably best pull of this season I had 93.5% uptime
no clue, because it's not a number worth knowing - when the sims just do the math for you really
Just depends on boss mostly
Is ashes better than branch if you take all blobs from branch at the same time? Like is it only alot better if you do 1-1-7?
Not much you can do for uptime outside of what you would usually do
ie. doesn't matter if it dr's at 2800 or 3300 or 5800. If the sims still say mastery enchant better, it is what it is.
it literally is
it's devalued
If you want 4k without branch, and with branch you want 3k
it's worse
That is like
what the word means
Not really

^^ the lines in the bar are better (for me) lets you plan ahead easier.
jesus h
im just gonna block you
There we go

Bro said something wrong and would rather be salty than admit it
classic
fucking blue-names, always fighting
yea mb

you're just not ever gonna say anything worth interacting with, clearly
just gonna be rude
Yep true
I am sorry I used a word that offended you
Genuinely want to know when I was rude
I will be better next time
just dont dm him 
We are just having english lessons
Sure 😄
Please Sin players, dont take my job
People fearing the nerfs so their emotions derail
should i change my colour on daily basis? as i do play all 3 spec as im rogue player
😄
we should have a rainbow color
Jokes on you, you would only play 2 specs as a rogue player
for all-3-enjoyers
i think sin is fine, just escalating with externals 😄
yeah it's definitely a scary place to be hah...
Well yellow is the rogue color
Aint even escalating that much. BM with PI is barely worse
Combat was kinda just ss > evisc on repeat
if they put a BC spec in the game for boomers, i'd play it.
BC?
Bm exists
if the rotation was "ss til 5 CP, then evisc" i'd do it
battlecruiser
Isn't that what bm hunter is
You do 40k by just autoing and letting your pets auto
I dont even know if i had all my spells out though but i tried
?
gave up
Was this before 10.2?
Did you summon your pets?
U can’t stop frenzy stacks any@ore
i dunno what they're supposed to do lol
oh well i definitely had it and was using it

lol
😂
#shouldareadaguide
This is what guides are for
i mean i got sick of the boost icon on my screen so
i shoulda just boosted an alt rogue honestly
I still got the dragonflight "free" boost
same
im holding it for a rainy day
when i need to reroll
which will never happen because i'd rather quit instead
So next week

if they nerf sin the day i get 4p i'm gonna sue them
more like when a healer quits and i have to heal again on the last boss of the tier
Are you getting it tue/wed?
Holy fuck I am playing arms and feel so squishy in comparison to my rogue lol
yea
Call your lawyer
i have a team of lawyers dude
I pay $6.88 a month for it through my work's insurance
dunno what good they are but
Schedule a meeting
it's probably some random dude that like does nothing all day and just collects a thousand people's $6.88 a month
btw was wondering if "situation dire " in embersoul trinket is accounted in sims?
or how does it work in general 😄 i forget about that
It procs once half your raid/group dies
did 4pc for Assassination get nerfed? Wowhead states 150% increased damage against an isolated target, but my UI states 30%
No, its been the same since release, they just changed it last second of ptr
But the damage is the same
Trying to read the different sims in the pinned section. If I would like a more single-target focused m+ build, shoud I go for the hybrid 5tar or?
I think a lot of folks are saying arterial - make sure you pick blindside and venom rush
alright. So if I'm brought to m+ not to do the most cleave but excel in single target arterial would be a good choice?
Yes. If your sole goal is to excel in st though, i mean you could run raid build and just switch to spatter really.
true but I still want SOME aoe and not pure st
yeah give em all a go but a lot of people are basically sold totally on arterial...and then they just switch flying daggers to venom rush on tyranical weeks. (and make sure you have the newer build with blindside).
Thanks I'll look into that!
Hi guys, question, When you apply Deathmark, does it affect your Bleeds that are allready on the target or your bleeds that you apply When Deathmark is activated?
both
Are you sure? cause i just hit a Dummy and compared to my sim, and my deathmark hits for nothing compared to the sim
Deathmark duplicates existing and new bleeds
it essentially opens a slot for bleeds to be copied into, any existing and new bleeds will fill that slot
yes i'm sure
Could you simplify that by any chance?
the answer to your question was both. and yes i'm sure.
So the deathmark damage in my details only shows the actual deathmark ability damage?
Okey thanks @strange python
What build everyone running for tyran? DTB or Blindside?
Are you running the sim as "target dummy" or as raid - with lust and windfury totem and all that?
just pure raid patchwerk, might be the issue then
yeah that's a massive differnce, including potting and rune, and phial, etc
In Sims, yes, the extra bleed damage is grouped under deathmark
In details it is not
Makes sense, is there some way you should play around yoour cooldowns?
I allways use Shadow Dance and Kingsbane together, but not really sure when to use Deathmark
you'd follow the opener, but it's DM > shiv > KB/Dance ... then at under 8 sec left you shiv again, at under 6 seconds you use tea, and at under 3 seconds you'd vanish.
Your next KB will just be kb/dance without deathmark (use your shivs and tea here again, but no vanish)
then repeat
sorry to barge in, but quick question: how does subterfuge interact with all the rest of the stealth talents + shadowdance? Improved garrote already works for 3 secs after stealth, so does subterfuge extend nighstalker and all that, or extends carnage windows, or is it only to ambush once?
Ah makes a huge diffrence to use deathmark before KB/Dance? cause i have been using deathmark after
yeah they mathed it all out, and that's the best way
In general subterfuge grants most stealth effects, but it does not extend them, same with dance.
I do shiv once before and once more before it runs out to cover the entire KB duration
Stealth effects and dance / subterfuge interactions are not all entirely consistent
afaik
Makes sense, thanks alot
any time
Like subterfuge does not mean you get 6 seconds (3 subterfuge + 3 imp garrote) of imp garrote
It only gives you the 3
so subterfuge does not, for instance, work for 3 secs after dance? Anyone knows what does subterfuge "extends" from stealth?
but does it give you 3 extra seconds of nighstalker after vanish?
Yes
1 more thing tho.
I just simmed with Dummy instead and it simed 107k on 5 min fight.
When i try i land between 98-102k almost every time, that should be fairly good then right?
i think the subterfuge talent says "when stealth breaks" - and shadow dance isn't really a stealth-breaking event.
yeah that's pretty close. You can drill into your sim more - and see the differences that the thousands of iteration got - on each of those iterations. It then averages that, and that's the MAIN NUMBER presented to you at the end.
Makes sense, so it's only after actual stealth (vanish mid combat) and grants 3 secs of nightstalker and anything else?
Shadow dance grants you all stealth talent effects, like Nightstalker, imp garrote, IC, for the duration of dance, but nothing afterwards. IC is only up for 6 seconds during dance.
IC only gets the full 10 seconds when explicit stealth (or vanish) breaks
Shadow dance grants Nightstalker for its 6 second duration as well
Ye ik there is alot of shit goin on, but i feel pretty good about being with 7-9k lower than the sim
Ye, huge dif
Some folks do, i think you just like post it and ask - sometimes they make a thread for ya
depends who's here
But if i can stay with 7-9k of my sim i should start to get pretty comfy with the rotation atleast?
Smashing it, on a maybe sad note, just check you don’t have any dreamsurge buffs
yeah i mean i'd say that's probably a pretty decent place to be. I'd say you have at least a fairly fundamental understanding of how the class works
Ye i have been playing rogue nonstop for like 4 days trying out the specs and made the call to understand assassination first, took some hours to be honest
never played it before
yeah it's not super easy to pick it up i guess. Once you do, it's a ton of fun. I made my first rogue back in 2007 lol...so it's just changes and nuances from expansion to expansion / patch to patch for me.
Ye i get that, im a Shadow main, feelt the urge to reroll because of the state of shadow atm xd.
Allways wanted to play rogue but it felt overwhelming with swapping to meele AND going a rogue
ugh yeah i hear that
yeah melee is a different beast
But i finaly did it and i think im going to stay rogue, Sub for example is the most fun i have had in like 3 expansions
you gotta worry about so much more - your performance can deteriorate, in the raid, by like poor tank movement, etc (a lot more than a ranged).
But i just cant stand logging 80-90 on my priest and still be below people logging 60
Do you guys prefer Arterial Precision over Poison Bomb + DTB for keys?
yeah sub is fun af too
yeah i like arterial build
Yeah sub is insanley fun, just feels like their aoe is about as trash as shadow lol
Arterial must be huge on fortified weeks right?=
They just need high target counts - their aoe slaps when there's decent numbers there.
How do you make sub slap in aoe? just like Rupture everything?
I think they all sim pretty close - i just like it cause it has blindside.
Ye i love that proc lol
nah just follow their aoe opener/priority. sectech does massive dmg now too.
there's like a 'nuanced feel' to sub - like the more you play it - the more you realize how you can do certain things that are fitting to the situation you are in to do more dmg, etc.
Ye well i see some burst aoe once i pop that, but other than that it feels underwhelming ?
prolly feels trash if you're hitting 3 things or so i guess, i dunno
ye, lower keys it feels like crap playing sub
Sub is a lot of stacking damage buffs to slap a fat sectec
Unsure how exactly it plays now cause I went spriest in season 2 and now back to sin. But I’d imagine roughly the same
yeah i ran some keys as sub - had a lot of fun. saw the 4p sheet, and remember the number 23.3% (dunno if i looked at an accurrate sheet) and was just like "yeah i'm not playing that until tuesday"
Its alot of fun tho, i dont even have 4set yet, managed to get 3, so cant try 4set until wednesday
will be a hell of alot more fun then
yupp
allready have a pair of shoulders just waiting to get catalysted
how often ish does the 4set proc?
like every 4-5th cast of envenom or smtn?
no every time lol
oh
assuming you cast it - while the envenom buff is up still
How do I deal with this issue I’m having sometimes where I’m doing my opener but I go to press ambush right as it’s changing back into mutilate and I get the “must be in stealth” error and nothing happens. It’s like I’m pressing it exactly as it switches sometimes
yeah - you basically maintain the envenom buff always though so
95% of the time is the goal anyway
spam it or just live with it
yeah that's over 5 mins?
yeah
What you can do is look at your sim
5.56 even on 1 try, with 86,8% uptime
if the dummy you were hitting was under 40% health
And compare # of envenoms to # of envenomous explosions
then your numbers are scuffed
Then compare that to your target dummy test
what happens below 40%?
err 35%
blindside procs go crazy so you effectively get a bunch of energy
ah yeah
but no im pretty sure it was at the 80% range at lowest
Also is it wrong to basically refresh imp garrote 2x on opener. Once on pull, once after KB then again during vanish at end of KB?
you should do that, as long as it's not back to back garrotes
ya know - i'm not sure the refresh after KB is needed though right?
i think it runs out right at that vanish window
That’s what I wasn’t sure about either
It's probably a wasted global really i dunno
I’ve done it both ways and can’t see a huge difference
i remember saying "i always hit it cause it lights up" (my weakaura)
and i think whispyr said something like "it lights up just because you can hit it - but doesn't mean you should" but my memory could be off.
It is not a wasted global, if your opener garrote is fading at vanish, you are missing out on getting extra improved ticks via pandemic
yeah if you go off of the ST rotation - you do not refresh it there.
So it can go both ways, you'd need to have sim proof to show it is worse to skip that garrote
I think the ST rotation on wowhead says to refresh it right after KB ash
garrote is usually the first gcd in kingsbane
so yeah you wanna do it then
btw, in m+, when we lose the I Carnage buff, do we kinda fall of on packs that live beyond the bleed applications with that buff?
you can use vanish/shadow dance to put bleeds back up if the pack will live a while
Pretty much every top log I've studied does garrote 3 times in the opener, as written on wowhead and as the Sims do
Ye im aware of that, but sometimes that timing is just of you know
yeah im pretty sure its garrote to open, garrote after KB, garrote after vanish
Yup
It gets to some point where you want to just maintain enough bleeds to keep your energy up really.
But i do realize that the more i play the less downtime during packs on iCarnage
Sometimes that's tab-targeting ruptures, is what it is.
Nothing like what sin aoe used to be hah
how bad is shadow lol
terrible xd
you said you were parsing 80's and getting beat by 50's?
nah more like parsing 80 and losing to 60 parses from other classes
Happend more than once this week on our hc clear
yeah they're down there with like aff and destruction - which sucks for shadow cause they have like demo to fall back on
I'm so sorry
im not sorry
xd ❤️
if you've continued to play shadow for 2-3 expansions you deserve it
its not like its anything new lmao
hehe we have been in some deep shit at times
its his fault for sticking to it
and seen ALOT of builds lol
also its just gambling
you gamble every patch if this rework puts you beyond bis again
As soon as shadow got that cast-something-while-channeling-something-else shit, i never looked back at it.
ye its like losing at a vegas casino for a week straight then you go back and just know you are losing for another week
That's why it's nice'ish (most of the time) to play a class with 3 dmg specs (if your goal is to do damage).
Ye thats something i have been missing on shadow, i mean last season was hell of a fun
but having 2 seasons of fun in 2.5 expansions
its just not worth it
If they deleted rogue from the game, i'd probably play a warlock.
id quit
demo just always has that GOGOGO about it.
Switch from ST to AOE in an instant
just always ready
dunno if someone mentioned as well - when you vanish your details meter will be reset
so make sure youre tracking overall
!dagger
Ye this i found out pretty early
i have just not been vanishing when i hit dummies
oh nah you should vanish
you can still track your dps through details
just track overall
and manually reset
Ye ik, i have just been lazy
you can change a setting to Dynamic (under scripts) as well.
understandable
i get that
huh, what does dynamic do?
do you know how to do that? i looked under my scripts and i couldnt find it
a long term solution sound more intresting
no i've never messed with it. I think you gotta switch it back after anyway
ah, f that then xd
it's like another bookmark you can u se
nah it's super easy but i dont have it on mine
so i cant use it
but ye ik i should be vanishing whith 3 sec left on KB for a chance to crit with that huge big last tick
back in my day, vanish was our repair bill saver.
yeah sorta hard on yourself as well comparing dps when youre missing out on that 100% crit
now we gotta waste it
It's just additional 30% crit chance though right?
50%
30%
Just survive until vanish crackshot window and then vanish to reset
Save your repair
What is this, outlaw channel?
@steep estuary check to see if you have anything ther
Ah I figured it sounded like something some outlaw player would say

Also Vanish has been a DPS CD for Assassination for like
I'm never not taking an opportunity to evasion tank a boss though.
make a bookmark with that wrath
Over a decade
dont tell me to "just die" gtfo

you'll still need to manually reset the meter
but at least you dont need to go into options
oh it's that easy to do?
Low key, the sprint buff is op for kiting now
why finish on 4 cp instead of 5 when we are taking deeper stratagem?
just math
TRUST THE NUMBERS
actually does that finish on 4cp apply to blindside proc as well?
Because it’s not about the size of the envenom. It’s about how you use it
im low key keen for spiteful week now
oh god is that next week?
no idea
one thing i hate more than bursting...and that's spiteful
but my evasion riposte build is finally not a meme (yes its still a meme)
nah spiteful as outlaw is not an affix anymore
would be for me
L
I did a 10 WCM earlier and i think i pulled 80k overall
ye thanks
no wokkas mate
some pulls i was blasting though but sometimes man my stuff just felt off (as outlaw)
What to i click durning Shadow dance? Spam ambush or what
I figured out how i have so much envenom uptime btw
So then i went around trying to find a non-crackshot build
And that didn't exist, so i gave up
i cheat, or maby its just like that you should do
Once i reach 5cp i use envenom to not waste cp's
sometimes i land on 6 after a mutilate and sometimes 4
nah that's viable
how bad is it to envenom on 3cp just to maintain the buff
i think the math on "finish at 4" or "finish at 5" was kind of a wash (thinking 4 was marginally better).
ye, i just felt that sometimes i get 3+3 cp from 2 mutilates and sometimes 3+2 for example
like after you have to rupture
You’re probably better off just pooling again to reset
cool thanks
you gotta ask these super-detailed questions when whispyr is active lol
you chain until its uncomfortable to do so
its uncomfortable to send a 3cp envenom just to try to maintain the chain
even then, they probably don't spend a lot of time mathing things that already mathed to be "sub-optimal"
Better to be comfy
Than to be sweating bullets
We don’t use those
Outlaw does
oh yeah does the 4cp finisher also apply to rupture?
applies to everything
kk just wanted to double check
4cp ruptures feels so bad though
kinda having fun as assi though
did a 4.9m kingsbane last night
lol you guys that have 6 combo points have to worry about this stuff. I just have 5 as my max.
i've never felt so strong before

Imagine not taking deeper
not good
I get bored by like Friday
thats... what she said?
buff scales with combo points as well
Yes
okay no more 3cp envenoms then
How do you survive mage boss during the fire storm on 21+ tyrannical keys. (Cloak obv on one, but the others)
I'm doing raid tuesday without deeper just to see how much i like acro
pray
and also preposition yourself for sucks
press vial and whimper for help
The acro addiction is real
but i switched from undead to orc to pick back up some of the lost dps
i mean yeah i know
pretty big L
the initial hit can be cloaked
the ground shit cannot
L
i miss old human racial when it was a get out of everything free card
well i f'd up my undead mog - because i forgot my goggles were engi only. So when i switched to alchemy / herbalism (because i was bored) to get more time on phial, i lost my main undead mog anyway.
Og belf f🙏🏾
wasn't it always just stuns
human? no
the undead one got thru fears/charms, will of the forsaken
Btw, does any1 have a cool WA that tracks Envenom on current target? it does not apply on my portrait/target frame /platers thingy
envenom is a buff on yourself
I recomend a progress bar - with a tick around 1.5 sec on it (personally)...i dunno what the stuff in the weakauras has.

^these packs have WAs, my (LE) profile link has a standalone envenom progress bar
well im using luxthos so there is probably a tracker somewhere
Doesn't luxthos make /wa for every class/spec in the game?
I've always been wary of them.
i have probably just been looking at wrong place since its a self buff aparently
i love them

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Atrocity enjoyer 
I also find a lot of weakauras to be way too flashy for my liking
would there not be an easy way to get the talent Twist the knife tho? just to guarantee 100% uptime on envenom?
i just make my own WA
if i need advanced coding, then i either need a better PC or to learn the spec to not need my WA to do that functionality
There is a way, drop Imp Poisons for it. It is a dps loss because it is unnecessary for getting desired uptimes. But it is an option and gives a much less stressful gameplay
You can sim the difference to see
I will, that is only 5% so it should not be huge dif
Last I checked it was ~1-2% overall to swap those talents in ST
But you can sim yourself to see
I know
On dummy Twist the knife sims 1k lower and on patchwerk it sims 2k lower
thank god, i was worried it was just me having a moment
I found the button
yeah he said the blue-names were causing a ruckus and didn't wanna be grouped with them.
?
not a scaring difrence to be honest
I didn't say that
looks so weird
Its a give and take let's be honest
imposter
lol i didn't even know who he was talking about tbh
That was the vibe in the conversation at the time when I changed it, but I didn't say that specifically
if u want twist the knife u have to give up something else
And isn't why I changed it, I've wanted the name to be red for awhile and just kept forgetting to change it
I find alot of the time if i lose uptime on envonom, its not during consequential windows
Maby the sims will be more close once i have 4set lol, if it takes into account in the sim that envenom has to be overlaped that is
The sims take this into account, yes.
my bad man, i didn't know who he was talking about - and assumed everyone would take what i said as a joke. Didn't mean put words in your mouth.
Also getting rid of improved poisons is REALLY grief imo
Then the sims should be even closer once i have 4set ?!
It's not. Have you tested it? Imp poisons was the first to go if you do a giant combination sim of talents. At least it was when PTR was wrapping up and I was testing it.
Its just so good for kingsbane burst windows man
doesn't matter if the numbers says it's easiest to remove
Yup
could also just not remove anything
I mean the sims don't lie. If the sims say it's 4.7% then it is what it is. There's a lot less margin for error in the build anyway.
well removing dashin sims like 1.6k lower, total of 400 dps difrence with removing im poison and dashing
just remove MA and get lukcy :forehead:
so its still close
@strange python I dont know the exact sim differential
MA is useless if you simply crit yea
But losing out on that KB crit is huge dps loss right?
This is the spirit
I plan on critting anyway fuck
30% crit to 60% crit, is there even any difference
no difference if they both crit
(They're beeing goofy goobers, you should take MA)
😄
We tripled down
ik 😄
Anyways MA insta goes on no dance build
we are, but at the same time, on a sample size of 1, just crit bozo
im just tryin around seeing what you lose least with
Man it’s like every patch before and after 10.0-10.1 sans 7.2

What ilvl are people so far btw?
474
472
470 (really 469)
ripbozo
I just round up
Havent started doing mythic yet tho
tier shoulders look so cool btw, as a random aside
the red ones?
all the ones
I like the green ones too - they're like poisoney
Bro the tier cape looks like shit
Heroic is BIS as fuck
Missed opportunity to make a proper back piece
lol imagine using a cape for your transmog
Can't remember the last time I didn't hide cape
always dogshit
i used the backpack for a while though
Only the shadowlands ones
Before that I used Venthyr set
yeah i love those
With the headstone
as i'm likely to never set foot in mythic, i am glad i got mythic track gloves from vault to catalyse
i just sheeth my daggers on my back though
I use ravendreth tombstone often and the open world maldraxxus poison thingy
the suffused camps capes are dope
@balmy condor yo ive heard the RWF rogues are playing this over branch, is it bis?

I heard Kush said branch is actually bad for prog

jeeeeeeeeeeezus
Time to bump ashes up to S+ on the gear list
whispyr is catching up on some sleep or something man
Gonna crack an egg on your chest bozo
Whispyr hasn’t slept since November 28, 2022
do it pussy
What happened on that date
DF release
Omw my way!
we want a shit ton of mastery right?
Now I am an unemployed bum
NEET gamer
we want whatever stat the sims tell us we want. It's just not as simple as "more mastery = better"
Brother what the fuck is that weak ass cape
!dagger
But do we sim statweights still?
20 years and Blizzard still hasn’t made a proper cloak
Cloaks are so dogshit
cant wait to do 800 pulls on Tindral Sageswift
Only the special 3d ones are worthwhile
no, you'd sim individual pieces and/or differences in gems/enchants, etc independently.
That’s what I’m saying
You can do stat weights, but it's very imporatnt that you understand what it's telling you.
i was a huge fan of the kyrian wings
we are gonna becomes the new Skyline
You killed smolderon?
just pack it in until tuesday
but doesn't fit with the rogue aesthetic
Its telling me what stat to aim for with my current gear right?
Rogue Lego when 
no, the mythic trinket just magically appeared infront of me
Are you ready to blast TSwift in comms as punishment?
first night
I didn't know that was a screenshot of your loot 
I usually do a new stat weight sim after every new piece i get
im only listening to Tswift first night
Cataclysm classic
on prog for that fight
Each gear will change your stats every time no point just topgear
I love it when random gear pops in front of me
rogue lego at home
Now that shit WAS legendary
yo same
like we pulled some fire elemental dude with a sword, he then fell over and gave me a trinket drop
The fact they had to nerf edge after a certain level
shits crazy
Good meme
it's basically telling you "as my character stands right at this instant" - "what does adding x amount of this stat do" - for all the stats. So it's invalidated quickly - and siming individual items/combinations will lead to more accurate results.
UUUUUMMMMM ACKTUALLY
that trinket doesn't look that good to me
How does it Sim with ring though 
go back to outlaw chat
i love how you'll add the stats it says are the best, and that's the only change and then it'll be like "yo wait a minute this one is now best"
lol yep
I’ll drop deez nuts 
i dunno, i appreciate it cause i look at the weights sometimes when i'm bored. But i dont make gearing decisions based on it.
onto the sword?
Yes
that seems painful
I don't honestly even know whether i gain any useful information from it at all.
entertainment maybe
do you guys hate or like the idea of having an artifact item slot
explain further
what would it change
Like wep?
legion we had weapons
it would just be an extra gear slot
This man is trying to bring back fucking tertiary weapons
Relics and shit
oh meh - i'm indifferent - just some extra borrowed power methodology really
No
you got your kingslayers back
😦
they're in the talent tree and u can tmog to them
They expended their power to cleanse the sword at the end of Legion
So that the world soul wouldn’t die

What if there was a bug - and if you spec'd Kingsbane, you had to use default transmog.
Would you give up the damage to look how you want?
if you can't mog the mage tower version that means you didnt do current mage tower lol
i mean yeah, but azeroth could do it, you know she gave vyranoth aspect powers
and you wouldnt get that back, thats gone for good
Mage tower weapon mog havers rise up
i have the outlaw ones
i wasn't playing the game then 😦
they're gone for good
well i was, but my rogue was like level 40
So like hear me out…. What if… we got a gift from Azeroth herself… and it like gained power from doing stuff. And it goes in the neck slot cause like it’s this font of power.
Like the heart
just like the wod weapons and the mop armor sets
Or something
Release outlaw mog was the worst
would never work
i have empirical evidence
what if it grew in power from afk'ing in town
Like got powered up
i'd be so strong
They need to combine /played
I have years
y'all meme on it, but as a degenerate with all the time in the world to play, BFA systems were great
I kinda agree actually
Neck was OK armor was dog
armor was dog as fuck
uldir you had to get lucky in your 1 chance a week vault to get azerite armor
Azerite armor was genuinely fucking awful
like i can see how people like DF more, but I can't game this expac
weekly stuff is done in 2 mins, and then they want me to do quests or story or someshit?
Bro I creamed when I pulled the Gorak’s on my first Titan Residuum gamble

bring back titanforging
No.
1st patch rogue dmg 
how are we supposed to collect the orbs from branch?
pop it on opener and take 1 instantly?
sorry what
what about jsut a lil warforging
Bruh no
warforging and titan forging were dogshit
Arcanocrystal rng
I die a little inside every time this is posted
Bis trinket for the rest of xpac
run the red line on cast
!dagger
I liked reforging
so you basically grab 2 asap or?
kinda, the optimal timings are 1/1/7
do the arrows represent gcds?
no just to imply you are moving
and that is from the moment you press your first garrote?
and 1/1/7 is after how many seconds you collect it
yes
so dm > 1 sec > first orb > 1 sec > 2nd orb > 7 seconds > 3rd orb
the pic i put the 3rd orb will run into you when you want it to
whats the upside of doing this vs pressing it on opener and collecting late?
this is on opener
you can just macro it into deathmark
that would be bad
why
the upside is you can get the buff for more than 10 seconds
you really want it to buff the last few ticks of kingsbane
if you used on first gcd, and kited, the orbs would go into each other
depends how you kite them
unless you really tryina degen it and pick it up like 9/9/9 lol
i mean yeah, but bruh this aint cross country running
oh wait they only are in the wild 20 sec
ye you could legit do like 0/9/9
lol gl
can't do 0 but sure
i shoot for 1/9/9 personally
it's kinda inting though
if the fight allows it
Should we try to apply Improved Rupture during Subterfuge windows?
why not
how come
why would / could you possibly need the buff that far past kb is gone
Uh any tips
you wont have all 3 stacks for kingsbane this way
I don't think you really game around the improved rupture honestly.
and not have 2 stacks for more ticks
yeah i mean sometimes i gotta run so far that i'm no longer hitting the boss anyway
why would you need acqueous enrichment outside this time period?
that is a full send on smold
but did you KB the opener without DM?
ye
dang i figurd the hump would be higher
if you're going 1/9/9 as opposed to 1/1/7 that is 4 ticks of kb you could have had 2 stacks for
What seems to be nicer in keys this week, hybrid or arterial
i'm not really doing 1/9/9
sub stonks
Clearly just
Let them run out
Without getting any of them

Kite forever
And troll people into thinking that they are their orbs

I sometimes kite other people's aqueous orbs
jk - i hit that shit, take 3 steps to the side
and pretend they're not there
how is a race change $25 on this game lmao
and a whole ass faction change is only $30
Just 1 mil DPS peaks? Needs buffs
i absolutely love, how the lust window is one of the lower peaks

#sublife
Supply and demand, people love them race changes
Can i ask a assasination question btw
when do u guys tend to use thistle tea?
I normally try to reserve it for my burst windows, but im not actually sure whats best
thistle tea - at just under 6 sec remaining on KB.
Other than that, to get some extra energy when i'm low.
good point tbh, sometimes I forget that Blizzard is just another corporation that doesn't actually care that we play the game how we want to or that we have easy access to fun, but just that we give them more money while doing it :\
ALWAYS save one charge for KB

what we looking at sir
Aside from during KB I think a good time is if during DM you drop below 150 energy so you can get back into SB range
Yep 😕
guys, im not a mythic raider, just push some 20+ keys, worth change my beauty void elf for iron dwarf for racial?
how high you pushing
in either situation no
anything less than like 27 its not worth
no
your build is wrong for one.
VELF SUPREMACY
how do you use the velf on use ability
@earnest remnant VELF FTWWWWWWW
how
for when you are lazy
How much misery is a pi 15 sec before deathmark?
i copied the build from wowhead
passive for velf is good, 2% of my damage every key
but 2 charges of step
Velf racial hidden third shadowstep hack
u turn a fucking shadow form and ur damage increase
oh
yes
ok
i changed it next boss
is there anything else i did egregiously wrong
did you KB when you got back on nym?
you did it for 3/4 kingbanes
normal is f'in weird though, cause those adds die quick
Adds on hc have no hp
you can full DM at pull, KB at 1:something low then full DM back on nym next time ( so you probably lost a cast or something too)
Do you know if there's still a way to get the look of Legion's prodigious weapons ghostblade ?
you also consistently drop rupture and or garrote
That's a tough fight to look at KB timings because it can get messed up.
Are logs without pi weighted vs logs with pi?
hi new to rogue trying to see which spec id want to play, us assas the simpliest of the 3?
they're in the same bracket unless you search specifically no externals
call me piano man
And if i get a pi 15sec before every dm/kb window how much pain can i tolerate?
i think assi is si mplest of the 3 atm now
all your damage comes from your 2min and 1min burst windows
outlaw = constant paying attention to procs and if you fuck up, you question your existance
sub is... some say it's easy just 1.5 min spec but im still struggling with vanish cdr
Is the energy pooling any more complex than to keep energy above 50% and keeping envenom 100% uptime?
i dont think it's even keep energy above 50%
you just try maintain envenom uptime
i see i see. any major rotation stuff? i currently main a balance druid
wym major rotation stuff
So TLDR: Envenom uptime.
!dagger
if i fix my rotation will it fix my parse
it'll for sure help
i dont have any tier or enchants on any gear
lol nah, no major rotational stuff, just hit keys
so that might be another thing

The easy playstyle of dust is like a 1.5min spec. The !dust command has the "optimal" timings
Is there a recommended talent build for low trash tyran dungeons that emphasises ST damage? I'm about to do an Atal and since literally the only way we die is by wiping on the last boss I think I want to spec more ST
this is an ideal kingsbane window
got my 4pc lads. Do I play around it in any way for m+?
It's all about having cdr and getting additional flag casts vs the 1.5min style
do arterial, swap flying daggers to venom rush.
You mutilate in dance?
cause you already have a lot of combo points
am i trippin, or does the fuu sim spreadsheet show no boot enchant?
o
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
boot enchant is sorta 0 dps anyway
This is my current build. I don't play flying daggers anyway. What should I change?
Do you mut while dance is up?
Probably use arterial and swap flying daggers for venom rush
eiher watcher's loam for a little more tankiness or plainsrunners for more ms
you can ambush or mut really
I'm not playing Flying Daggers
You're also not playing arterial build right?
Take the range node
No, playing Amp
What’s it called
I dunno, i'd say play arterial and swap flying daggers for venom rush. That's my suggestion.
I can't "swap" a talent I'm not playing
i think he thinks you're suggesting modifications to his current build and not to use the AP build from the guide
if you play arterial - you will be able to swap that talent lol
oh it's the build in the guide

You're saying play this but with VR instead of FD? And that will give more ST than my current build despite losing amp poison and poison bomb?
I didn't sim it so i have no idea. It was just a general recommendation based on your original inquiry. It's the build I like in m+ and find that it puts out sufficient ST.
ahh nice
So yeah, as for any m+ build that i know of - that one seems to do the highest amt of ST dps, based on that screen shot by memz.
it's from the pins whispyr did about uploading talents to bloodmallet
up 
So what's the thinking on the lethal build over alac? Better for downtime I would imagine?
Is Dslice a reliable sim?
IC on council?
\
yes
!up
if you want to look at the graph more https://bloodmallet.com/chart/rogue/assassination/talent_target_scaling/castingpatchwerk
its this one
so if i want a faster opener i can drop the envenom before dance/kb right?
like it doesnt do that much
does vanish/subter work for nightstalker snapshotting?
caustic spatter is based on my position not the targets position right/
or is that something else
idk what else, but something else, spatter is off the target
IC is you yes
i think there's a quote of realz saying it's 12 yards around the target
Yes
