Hard to learn the spec in a dungeon that insta dies
Unless using doomblade where does the extra damage from mutilate over ambush come from?
Best thing you can do is read your talents and try to do your rotation but shits gonna die so fast
don't look too much into the numbers, for instance, you see 8ish energy per second lost, but venemous wounds is 28 gain per second. best to just follow the guide š
the % chance of applying the poison?
Yeah thats kinda why I'm here. I'm trying to learn certain things.
I would go neck
Mutilate = 2 hits = 2 poison proc chances for all 4 poisons, doubled during DM
Witherbark's Branch is better than Ashes?
do you have 4 piece myth track
On every day that ends in Y
I try to follow wowhead guide, but it's easier to digest if I understand skills synergy
Branch is our best trinket by a mile
On flat single target with no movement, yes. And even in movement, typically yes. It is much stronger but takes more effort to use. It isn't that difficult to use though.
Ashes is much easier to use
But is worse in terms of throughput
we don't really ever think about sanguine blades. it's a talent and it's there, but we never have it in our minds
rdruid dps
FYI All if you were going to do timewalking for a chance at tier
No, but there are two hands options + one shoulders from early mythic bosses. Much better chance of getting those from raid in the next few weeks but the neck wouldn't have a chance of being replaced until tindral
branch i guess š¦
It may be worth holding off on turning in the TW quest
because it seems like it's weird, may get fixed, may not
oof. shoulda done your 8
Ouch in the non myth slot huh?
I'm trying to sort of grasp the idea of the inner workings like
Death mark into shiv and then kingsbane etc
RIP bozo
its not worth?
No itās Giga
It's definitely still worth
catalyse the chest, and just drop a branch in a 17
Go smack a target dummy for a couple hours
Use one charge of Shiv before Kingsbane and extend it with the second charge to cover the entire duration of Kingsbane. Use Shiv outside of cooldowns to avoid overcapping charges.
i did like 30 blooms, and no drops lol
just wait until he goes 100 runs with no branch 
next one
the other day my kb helper wa had icons on it, now i updated and its gone
i bet
what gives
My 30 GF's and no dagger streak is over 
Yep I'm realizing now.
I'll go do that
Won the lottery
Thanks.
go to config options and use double tick option iirc
Got Branch week one and now this week 2 
if doing lower level content check out the sudden demise build, itās stupid insane for low keys and cranks
fuck that branch, got the chest š

I don't think it's even close
Today is the day when last boss in Dotl:Fall parried all 3 my KB.
And shiv
In a row
If you're playing with AP & cast Shiv on the same target, will it automatically spread to targets that don't already have the debuff?
look, maybe it is an easy push week, but you know what.. i dont have FUN playing spiteful, it just makes me sad
No re stealth is aids
im sure its not that big of a dps loss, but i dont care, i hate it
Why is a Resto druid pressing Feral Frenzy
What is the % of dps gain from 2pc?
wait whats affixes on NA?
Volcanic spiteful, fort
volcanic spiteful
for fuck sake
volcanic Spiteful
because restealthing is very powerful
Always in combat
ah true
No IC spread monkA
just evasion tank the spitefuls, its ez
im going sub fuck it
!restealth
Long In-depth explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:
https://youtu.be/DoZDPFk_Zog
The TLDW (I understand, it's LONG):
- Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
- This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths
- You still have vanish and in 10.2, shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
- This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
Have to dance to spread IC this week
ok, does this factor in the GCDs lost from IC
it really sounds like an old comment but i might be wrong
ONLY YOU DEGENERATES COULD COMPLAIN ABOUT A VOLCANIC SPITEFUL WEEK
it isnt
setting up 8+ garrotes is 3 casts
the command is like 2 weeks old
yeah im erecting my sub spec rn
When am I not

i see top assa rogues using sophic devotion on their weapons but whispyr said in wowhead guide to use wrafting bla bla the haste buff
which one is better?
Why should we be erect?
sim


Sophic works better for the other specs
So they may be switching to sub and taking that into consideration
that's not why though, sophic can sim better on many sin characters
any ideas why LEs kingsbane visualiser isnt showing vanish at last 3 secs?
since updating it
Wafting can as well. Just something to take into consideration
It doesn't if you dont have vanish up
i have vanish up
Does 4pc change AoE priority at all? like more focus on envenoms into caustic, less focus on multibleeds?
can you show screenshot of the vanish dropdown in config
bingo
Nope
Always multi bleed
"show without deathmark". ty ty
On tindral
Is there something I need to do to fix the lag on root spawn?
FPS like drops to 0.5
ty
i had this happen on 30 man heroic, wasn't an issue with 20 people
so shoot your raider friends?
I think hide nameplates?

Smokderon with 30 is a nightmare
Legit tornados everywhere
no way this is accurate right? a 16 ilvl increase on tier chest when I already have 4p is beter than a 50 ilvl upgrade on ring?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iWAaHNy3TRwroCaC6nks9U
Short question, how i play the second kb and the second dm phase correctly? Or will it be explained in the vid from whisp?
It's the same. It's the same buttons but you don't use DM or vanish
Ring has no primary stat
And you use it on cooldown
Ring has no mainstat
115 agi = 3k dps increase?
16 ilvl on chest is lots of free agi
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eXhgyNS5Pm7Q6TRPZxUng3 still cant break 200k -_-
Agi > all other stat
Yeah
Is there an ideal piece of gear to change to tier? Like veteran/explorer/champ? What should I be aiming for.
interesting, well thank you
hero/myth
xD
@waxen oyster Does that change if I don't have access to heroic raiding or higher end keys?
whichever is highest ig?
i mean if you cant do 17s then just put it on whatever you have
hero track gear drops from 17s which isnt high idk
because thats your only option
Ohh okay, I'll have to look at a list of the order, but yeah, I'm lucky to get into 8s atm xD
champ is normal i think

i prob wouldnt even catalyze under champion unless
it sucks that my 2 highest ilvl weapons are both dreamcarvers, so i don't get free upgrades for other daggers
really poop alts
For real for real
I wouldnāt catalyzed under hero
wait...was this done without waking stats on your current chest
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yeah it was but I selected waking stats in the sim
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
well then its not a 3k increase, its a 1.4k
well shit too late
couple of questions for M+, if I am running non crimson tempest build without the fan talents, am I ever fanning or just mutilate for caustic?
there is literally only 4 daggers 2 of which are from raid. one of which is a unique equipped
!whispyr
wait is tindralās unique
You should still fan with the same rules for CP generation
But still mutilate to get caustic up
When playing AP do you just send Shiv on CD during aoe?
Are people using hissing or buzzin runes?
the one thats best on my character

mutilate every 10 seconds to keep buff up otherwise fan per usual, yeah?
i use howling my haste is like 1-1.5k lower than mastery and crit
But why
myth track sandglass and avoidance means i dont gotta deal with signet brand shenanigans
which is nice
most of the top keyers arent running crimson, couldnt tell you why
they run this
Because they have BM/boomie/havoc blowing up adds so they donāt need to. Any pugging or even a normal key group isnāt going to be doing that
They likely werenāt this week bc Tyrannical and were just running spatter. Doing huge boss damage and letting DH melt AoE? Just my guess
could be for sure
Donāt copy top .5% of rogues. They are running with dedicated group.
this is correct @burnt venture
is my brain fried or is that legit the ST spec
Like not even runnnig IC is troll
it doesn't even have spatter
Zerocool always cooks up his own specs lol
It is but they take spatter instead of IB
Or maybe they do run IB and just nuke bosses idk
What you run with a dedicated coordinated group is different than what you'd run in lower pug keys
Especially for sin
our entire kit can be played around and managed by the group
Fuck following that build. 99.65% of keys you run, you want CT or AoE talents.
like i guess if you are pulling an entire room onto a boss, but there is no reason not to take spatter in that case
don't think so, its from raiderio and I think it pulls from logs
you dont iron wire in raid
the build he linked does not have iron wire
also zerocool logs
that wasnt zerocool, was the second assassination
the one i posted was
In either case, copying what they do is kinda foolish
zerocool ran this
aoe but no crimson
So what
A sin rogue running that build is there to nuke bosses and do lmfao shit AoE. He watches DH/BM huntard/Boomy nuke AoE. He carries boss. If your group isnāt that then donāt copy
yeah makes sense
You can literally play almost any kind of build in m+ as long as you take IC, KB and Spatter
you just need to do 10000000 keys a season with a premade group
There are literally like 6 builds to choose from no cap
you don't need to be good at the game or play the most optimal build
Exactly ^
He was playing that last week
wish i had the delusion to call players with the highest keys completed in the world dumb
because no one gives a shit about trash on tyran
why are we caring what zerocool does? genuine question. no idea who he is.
ok, so if I do run crimson, are you spamming it over envenom, or just keeping the bleed up and then envenom spam
He literally is and always has been
For embellishments, i already have the toxic patch on my wrist for the thorn boots, and i am seeing blue silken lining as snother strong one. Is that only applicable to a crafted piece of gear? I am trying for all bis and looking to see what piece to craft and put it on
Literally anyone can push high ranks if you play the game with a premade group for 20 hours a day like he does
and has done for 2 years
No itās a dot, you donāt spam it
You apply it after your setup
even pugging with a friend increases your rank so much, just having the coordination for kicks and stops
I donāt think heās dumb. I think copying his build and thinking that is the best spec to run while likely not having a group composition or setup like he does, is.
So what you guys are saying is that you don't have any friends?
i agree
Nah he definitely is
He's done that shit for years
yea see this guys on some weirdo freak shit
He played Sepsis in Shadowlands during Sepulcher
That could be a fair point, idk. Never met the guy or heard of him for that matter lol
Iāll hold judgment until I run into the lad
he's just trolling because it literally doesn't matter
100 dps one way or the other
but then we have to deal with it in here
how dare he play the game with a bit of nuance
i, personally, am making wow forum posts at this very minute
every time someone asks something about why zerocool does something, it should be forced tagged and he has to answer rather than people here trying to figure out why
We had a similar thing for JPC back in 9.0
Because he kept saying that you shouldn't rupture targets in AoE because it's a damage loss
And it definitely wasn't
in any sense of the word
Doublelift is dumb
But he's a pro player
So we had people come here asking about it several times a day
We just ended up filtering the name entirely
Skill at playing =/= skill at analysis or theorycrafting
Now JPC is mad chilling and he comes to us and asks us what the best builds are and asks for sim help
He was washed, but now he's a homie
and there's still questions about branch, and why he's not using one
Pro teams have braniac analysts who tell em what to do for a reason
He explained this on stream and logic was sound for rwf
no i know, but that doesn't stop people asking
Which was
does anyone know if its worth rupturing low hp mobs to get giga energy regen when they die?
Hardly not
I think there's very very niche situations where Rupture sniping with Sudden Demise is fine
I didn't hear the reasoning, was it just not wanting another thing to track in the hardest boss fights in the game?
- branch is more personal dmg for ur character but ashes is more burst dmg in an Aug buffed window which results in more dmg for the Aug/raid overall
- it's much easier and less aids to play on these mechanically challenging last 2-3 bosses
But generally not really the play
ah oke
He said "branch will be a good m+ or parse trinket but I wouldn't use it for RWF"
Interesting
ive been doing it because it feels good but ig i wont anymore
I've been using ashes cause I just can't be asked to farm everbloom when I'm still trying to farm fall.
Just got my 4pc todayā¦looks like I might be able to do decent dps now lol
tried to search - couldn't find a clear answer. When doing rotation, obviously hit branch with deathmark, but should i forcefully pick up the orbs to get the mastery faster or should i just let them float in? the timing is weird with the last tick of kingsbane
You pick up 2 immediately
Then you stall the third one for 7+ seconds
Interesting didnāt think about the Aug. nice
Pick up two orbs asap, wait 7 seconds for the 3rd

mirror trinket or tier legs (raid finder)
those are certainly 2 items in the game
in vault i mean
Are they both raid finder ilvl?
yea they can be in vault
do lfr for the week
yes
before choosing
ohhh thats a really smart decision
Maybe do your 5 tw as well
in the case i dont loot any of those which one would be better?
sim angle
Sim it, but I would expect the tier
i think tier, because a 4 piece gonna be big, and it'll let you play around with the latest tech
guys, is the Arterial M+ build ST rotation is somehow the same one for Raid (dance) one ?
does the tier get you to 2pc or 4pc
would be 1st pc havent crated any
tier also looks sick, so mog angle
I would go for the trinket
ty
though if you're into it you'll be running a lot of fall anyways
If you don't get tier from lfr or weekly box, I think tier set. Cause you can farm a trinket but you can't farm tier
got this while playing outlaw, do I switch now? 
if you get a tier token from raid this week, you'll have 4 piece if you take the tier from vault
and use your 2 catalyst charges
My head hurts looking at this sim, can i get some advice on what to take for the vault
Whatever is the highest
so the cloak
:)
Irideus Fragment does not sim correctly so you def wanna ditch that
Technically the biggest upgrade would be taking pip and using pip + sandglass
I mean yeah i'm rring so it's just what i have till i run funnel heroic later with guild and then run m+ after
but you can get a better trinket than that probs
so just save vault until you see what you get from raid and m+
so true
!up
!whispyr
Always makes my day, best command
What's the point of using Shiv to pair with Kingsbane if Shiv only applies non-lethal poisons and KB dmg is increased with lethal ones
guys someone whispered me with a leaked nerf for assa saying kingsbane will cost a day of gametime is that true??? wtf
shiv does not only apply to non lethal
Read it again
Increases poison damage
Read the Improved Shiv talent
I love almost everything about new sin
guys when are u using ur first shiv ? after deathmark? then u have a downtime in the kingsbane window cause 2 shiv usages are not enough for whole kingsbane when u use it after deathmark
Ok, so it's not about the poisons
after deathmark
the gcd before kingsbane
Iām trying to craft the toxic boots and Iām finding it to be a little expensive. How bad is using t2 scales ?
speaking of shiv do we use inbetween kbs at all or just hold both
Doesn't matter so long as the crafter has enough skill
T2 scales is fine for someone that's maxed out toxic boots
also, kingsbane is 14 seconds, shiv is 8, 2 shivs is 16 seconds,
thank you
It definitely is enough
š¦ The last time I played a different dungeon was 12 days ago
T3 scales are like 30k gold whereas the T2 is like 7k gold
Plus if you use deathmark shiv it lines up perfectly for the small burst at 1 min
Your poisons are nature damage so... Yeah it kinda is. Benefits bleeds too
kinda weird to read nature damage and not realize it applies to poisonsā¦
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
are u guys using a macro for dance + kb?
Ye, but guides recommend to use it before and in middle of KB
Nope, I press both separately
Many are. I am not but many are, and it's fine if you want to
I do but thats because im lazy
your bleeds and poisons are being applied the whole time of kb
Correct
I like the feel of pressing both better
how much should a good kb hit on a target dummy?
is there ever a time Iād want to use dance or KB separately? Having a macro for them together would be cool but idk if itās needed
99% of the time I've found
depends on your ilvl and skill, the largest ive done on a dummy was 3 mil
is sandlgass > cataclysmic signet? its simming 500 higher for me on single target
Well as long as it sims higher its funilly enoug better
with pot? š®
U probably don't have a lot of haste
The only time I've decoupled cooldowns is not using deathmark because the m+ pack is gonna get destroyed by someone else
ok me too, thatās what I thought was right
cheeky answer
but I deserve it
Caustic with kingsbane is my new drug
on council does sin just attack 2 bosses at a time or we runnin around dottin the 3rd one
Tru
wowhead says to macro witherbark branch into deathmark -- is it fine if I also macro it into KB/SD as I'm using those more frequently and the trinket is on same CD as them
I'd do it to deathmark
branch is 2 min, dm is 2 min, kb is 1 min?
ok and not both?
trinket is on the same cd as deathmark, the other 2 are 1 minutes
ohhh ok that's my mistake sorry guys
It straight up doubles your mastery and lines up with big burst
I was thinking deathmark was 3m and KB/SD was 2min but I'm just tripping
I thought I would hate branch, but the minigame is fun
Even with spites, m+ feels so much better this week than last. 20 Fort you can have a big mob live through most of kingsbane
what is the mini game
Collect the balls
Just got it from vault but havenāt used it yet
So it puts 3 balls on the floor, each give a stacking mastery buff
Thanks, might be it since I'm swapping from outlaw
You want to collect 2, then the third one when kb has less than 9 seconds
Cause collecting a ball refreshes the duration to 10 seconds
I also have a weakaura that shows when the balls are active
Anyone was mayine watching Kush from Echo? What the fuck is this on his 4
And which ball I've nommed since they always come out the same directions
probably some macro
we dont change any talents when we get 4 set do we
for the balls or some shit
Idn, you can macro any icon onto any ability
a macro of some kind with custom icon ?
who knows
@kush wtf
no
It's not uncommon
lots of people do it
Dino rawr
You change your envenom spams during downtime between burst
Kush would be the kinda guy to have a prime button used for a macro that just yells "rawr"
so ive been playing outlaw in m+ and sin in raid, not really tried sin in m+. Is sin higher damage in m+?
How is the rotation complexity for assassination, compared to Outlaw (for PvE)?
its comparable but outlaw does more dmg
y'all gonna be the end of me, staying up till 6 am chatting in here
Before 4 set you would try to maintain above a certain amount of energy to maintain sanguine blades uptime. After 4 set you pool energy to maintain envenom uptime
rogue discord is hoppin
It's 20:39?
Since casting envenom while you have the buff makes it do more damage
it is 5:40 am on a rainy Wednesday
does it matter if you macro KB into SD or SD into KB? does it matter which one goes off first? Thinking I macro SD into KD being that SD doesn't have a GCD?
Fake it is snowing on a tuesday night at 20:40
yes, SD has to be first
Always press dance 1st before KB
At the risk of a stupid question, how much haste would be considered a good amount
you are fine to macro them, just ensure the top line is dance
ty
But this week id recommend not macroinf SD+KB. Lots of pulls youāll need to dance for IC
No restealth bc spiteful
The robot will tell you when youāve got enough
i see your no restealth, and i raise you night elf
All hail the magic conch
But my immersion with void elf
š©
Blood elf aoe purge supremacy
also restealth not that important
Tauren horn supremacy
Sorry I need my belf dispel for when my hunter, shaman and demon hunter cant be asked doing it
it's just a qol thing to get stuff out quickly
I remember back in my day blood elf passive also interrupted
is belf still aoe?
ya
ye
broken
Not only that, it also fucking silenced
whenever someone says ye, i hear YEE
Ridiculous
Me
It was indeed
just more blizz making people race change
Fucking pogging out of my mind
did they take noggenfogger out of the game? that's a real boomer question there
It unironmically is
still in game
have to buy from gadgetzan
- less health on long ass Tyr fight
still at same spot in gadg?
from a goblin in the middle
!dagger
i mean yeah, but also the trash was the problem no? and they didnt touch it
Every day I pray to whatever deity is listening to let me stealth when the only mobs alive are spiteful
It's so freaking annoying
The only real problem was that the dungeon was such a hard timer
20% longer trash this week, and you get 1 min compensation

any tips for not getting parried by aerwyn on KB
or nymue
Stand behind her
Uninstall the game would be my go to
aerwyn you just get behind
Stand behind her
nymue im not sure
Just hit her

U can't rly
she 24/7 spins smh
Not the usual way of tanking at least
simply don't get parried
Bare ass
U do realise dungeon slice also takes into account st right
What is zeros build?
Also for the love of god
Use the commands zero has in his stream
He has a command that directly says it is very experimental, and that it MIGHT be good for specific dungeons with heavy ST on only high tyran
Anyone using Luxoth WA find the improved Garrote icon doesn't show when you use it in the 3 secs after stealth?
Also we could run whatever the fuck we want and still time 20s. No talents in this game are that deep
I miss having acrobatic strike
you guys mantain CT in m+ during st boss fights? or just forget about it
no
CT is 4+ targets only
I thought it was good on 2+
That is wild
It's meh on 2 target
As long as it ticks out on both

I see
Iām pressing X here. Highly doubt thatās the case unless you have a dedicated group that is absolutely ass blasting in AoE and youāre just carrying ST. Which is highly unlikely
Not saying your argument doesnāt have merit, because in certain comps on the high end his build could def work. But nothing youād recommend here to the masses.
Anyone know if Ourobroeal Necklet is good
i was told she randomly spears people, and isn't tanked
Had the same convo plaguing whispyr stream. All damage in m+ matters, take what you want
I ran a 18 falls with an enhance shammy doing 33k single target dps. Iām not trusting random pugs to do anything lol
Guys what do you think is better Waftin Devotion or Sophic(i only push m+)
Damage is damage
People thinking u need heavy ST dmg just because its tyran for a 20
Sim
speed =/= damage neccesairily
Different for everyone
It's hard to pad in m+
It only matters for very high keys where the sole reason you are not timing is wiping on a boss
Sure play it then
I've only experienced this a single time so far, and it was iridikron because our comp was trash
What key level do you do bucket
If you are depleting keys to +20 bosses
idk
Not meant as a flame
But that shouldn't be it
All damage matters, though I don't see anyone holding cooldowns more than holding death mark for another pack
Just send it and giggle as you get a 1M dps spike in aoe
Yea for specifically fall I was going IB for our 24 because we literally got to him for like 7 mins left, but just needed to be able to push
You donāt need a special spec at 20s my brother in Christ
I'll have you know that Sudden Demise does not work in sims
Some of those 20s were brutal, but mostly cause they chunked hard on bosses
Sadly my key was just a 21... Our group just wasn't prepared for bosses. WW/Aug not so hot for that p2 lol
in ST with 4pc are you supposed to let the envenom last or keep reapplying it?
So whatever builds you have that use Sudden Demise, none of them work
I did 85% of the damage p2 lol
The only thing that works on SD is the % bleed portion
Sudden demise was so fun last week lol
Yea aug didn't help for us on that fight either
but the damage itself does not do anything afaik
I hate that spec
I hate Aug as well
Yeah I'm just telling you that it's pointless to sim builds without Sudden Demise against builds that use Sudden Demise
because it's not an accurate comparison
Im sure Aug works great there with double burst. But if you don't have breath of eon ready to go right as he phases it's bleh feeling
when the talent literally does nothing in the sims
10% bleed dmg isn't nothing
Sudden demise dmg doesn't matter tho, it just shows what you would've done anyways for a sim. It only matters for time safe in an actual key
He said the bleed damage part DOES work
just like I said
I think they mean the execute
literally 2 seconds ago
The execute does not.
I can't wait until we get some goofy talent like outlaws underhanded overhand just to make reading comprehension even more required for sin
UHUH
š¤£
Inb4 we get death from above back again
Just did 6% for me in a dungeon
Higher than 2-3
sudden demise is pad, just stealing damage on small things that are going to die in 2 seconds anyways who cares
4-7% depending on key and depending on tyran vs fort
Sudden demise is hard to quantify, cause it'll do alot in lower keys and less in higher keys

But the bleed buff keeps it relevant throughout all levels
why are you guys doing dmg altogether, all you do is kill things faster
My ego does
I feel ecstatic knowing my bleeds dont overkill anymore
Sudden demise improving bleed efficiency? Priceless
Also it's comical watching a boss disappear because you know there's a 2min rp/walk before next pack
Is there a good way to keep track of your caustic splatter on an enemy? I'm using Elvui and it only sometimes pops up on their bar
So you just send dm at 10%
Probably rip a caustic spatter tracker off one of the weakaura packs for rogues
Then adjust it to your liking
A Plater profile (if you use that) probably has it
whispyr's is nice
Hopefully I get 2 piece from LFR so I can use my charges to get 4 piece haha
how muchj crit is too much crit
i stole the scripts from it and put it into mine cuz i liked the way mine looked, but the coloring on his is 
I just grab cevs and tweak it every season :p
You want an even spread of stats, favoring crit for raid or mastery for m+
is wafting really our bis enchant
I ripped a wafting enchant
Sim. Every character will be different on this.
true,l sitting on about 5.2k crit and only about 4k mastery just ause its hot the gear came
also depends how much you multispec
thanks
Any 4p tips outside of whats on Wowhead?
thank you, thatās the reason for me finding differing things
wafting is listed as bis on icy veins and wowhead but Iām assuming thatās in full bis gear with optimized stats
i mean....bis isnt really a thing for some slots
those will come down to what drops
i also am a wafting enjoyer
same (but thats because my optimal gear has 1k haste normally)
I've been simming quite a bit but still having hard time, I have champion brand & hero branch but sim is telling me to take pip over ashes? I saw bloodmallet, showing ashes sims as 2nd highest
personally would not have considered using wafting, I appreciate the feedback from you all
so what build are most people playing in M+? there are like 8 choices on the blood mallet lol
bloodmallet is a fake man, not you
i use the arterial shock build off wowhead
ashes is 2nd, but you only want 1 on use
if you have branch already, ashes kinda meh
I'd nab the ring
Wafting x1 and Sophic x1 sims 700 dps higher ST for me than Sophicx2
A stupid question can some help me on how to use Raidbots?
Can join call to be easier
whatās ur mastery and haste at
ashes is only good if you dont have a branch yes
No clue. Iād have to check ingame but I ran the sim today
get simulationcraft from curseforge (mod) and you type "/simc" to get your character data, paste that in and that's where you can tune things
Iām on mobile right now so no. But you click top gear on raidbots.com
You tab into wow and press /simc then copy all that into raidbots
Iām 472 with 4 pc, using ashes and parscausal fragment despite 10EBs and an equal number of Dotis
Itāll come eventually
been using dragon-tempered blades over arterial shock for M+, is arterial just better?
Youāll need simcraft addon installed so that when you press /simc you can copy your string @weak vessel
some people will tell you 10 is a low number
I like arterial better but both have merit
Ty guys done
me getting in my vault after running it twice last week
you ever have a guildie's alt rogue get a nick from a doti in 4 runs
and a branch in like 10
then get nick 489 from vault
time to switch mains if that happens
target farming gear is shit, I' spent my entire weekend farming rezans trinket on my BDK and it never dropped for me
there's something comedic about a double nick rogue that doesnt have any tier
I've done like 60 something atal runs
I have 71 keys completed on rogue this season. Iāve seen 0 trinkets so far. Iāll finish my portals today or tomorrow. I think thatās fine for week 2 lmao
Is there a chance that sims arent accurate cause the apls arent good or something?
How do you check how many of a specific dung youāve done? Raiderio?
yes
Yeah
You and me both brother
Prayge

No
Or wowaudit single view if your guild uses that and you have access.
yea idk, sometimes i think theres something bugged...ive seen ZERO bis items and holy shit i run m+ for hours a day sometimes.,
i think i've gotten like 5 of the gloves from everbloom
I think I have like 65 keys done and never seen nick
Me and rdru friend were farming it. I for dagger, he for leech pants.
He got leech pants after like 35 runs.
do druids not play tier pants
ive seen like 3 of the staff from fall :l
What to trust wowhead or icyveins for assassination?
I have 60 done and Iāve only had a champion tier Nick of time monkA. No trinkets
He got 4 set of other stuff
Iāve seen one Nick and got it on day one (champ level š„²)
Idk if they use leg
yea im goin w the conquest dagger....ive had zero luck this seasons w drops.
and i got the cruel dreamcarver
Dunno :)
ok more m+ questions, friends.
What are you doing during your dance kingsbane window. In raid I always sync them up and garrote envenom rupture etc, but in keys do I just spam tab garrote?
Both are great, you got something that's confusing you? We can help
got both hc daggers in one clear then uhh
mastery less value since the nerf made spreading hots way harder
we rolled the normal one off for mog
Theres a nice aoe rotation guide on wowhead
in 20's - are people favoring arterial or sudden demise?
Yeah sec gonna eat dinner but I'll send a message later. Got some weird dps issues. My stats are completely in favor of assassination yet it sims lower
preferably you mouseover macro the garrotes

since you want to be meleeing your KB target
yea makes sense
you have a branch or ashes?
my outlaw sims like 2k higher w/o PI since i have neither
branch
even with a 463 mh
470
Probably spread Gar but remember that caustic is going to crank on adds when you have KB up so you want to focus that main target
probs more now that kazzak neck dropped....
you blast your main target with kb spatter
after dots are spread
20% more agi from having ruptures out is nothing to sneeze at
yeah something like KB garrote venom rote rote venom if you already have good ruptures out
anyone else having the issue when you press kingsbane you just dont get the dot from it?
parried
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
didnt know that could happen
if im splatter talent do i only st in aoe? or do i even use fok ?
follow generator rules
Can I introduce you to my friend shadowstep, he likes to help with these situations
how does shadow step help
pputs you behind them
I have 11k agi
Boss canāt parry if you behind him
So you cloak(if needed)/step/SD + KB
no sims have never been ever
how large is it to focus on extending branch orbs properly
huge from my understanding
Thank you
at least getting the 3rd one is massive for the last KB ticks
thanks
between irrelevant and 1.5% depending on how shit you play them
oh ok
whats the SENSIBLE projection of whatever dps tuning we may get next week?
True. If you go off of 10k agi, 20% from ruptures is another 2k agi. Agi is roughly 9dps per point I think. So thatās 18k more dps. 18,000/225,000 is 8%
eyy whispyr, im using your plater profile, why does the hp bar of the mob flash white rapidly sometimes? how can i disable it?
Rough napkins By the way
somewhere between -10% and +10% 
flash white rapidly you say
what if we get the enh 25% treatment
I have no idea what could do that
do we know why Arterial's range is crazy big sometimes? is it based off the target's hitbox or is it just always huge for no raisin
"and now I will leave for no raisin!"
gonna try make video if i can reproduce it, happens in m+
I read what you wrote about the broken Aug hooks; is this data that they can review internally? Or are we guesstimating how much damage isnāt being attributed
that is unlucky
Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy sir
if the in-game, blizzard programmed combat log, doesn't have a way to re-attribute the damage, how would they have internal data?
Deadge
okay satan
Valid point right there. Sometimes I feel like their analysis is magic
Thanks whispyr
i do think its dumb you can see other people's branch orbs
but otherwise i dont see why the trinket is an issue
ponder the orb(s)
Did the Kazzak necklace get nerfed? It's simming almost 1% lower on ST against my current (Crit Mastery) 467
I mean crit mas is best sub stats
This is sin
their analysis is very smart, because they are very smart people, but there's nothing data wise that they inherently see that we cant. It's always crazy to me when people are like "oh they have internal numbers for this kind of stuff". Do they? How? If they had ways to filter out power infusion or fix aug hooks, they would've just added it to the combat log. There's no reason for them to see the issue, come up with a fix for it, and then hold it internally while all the combat log data stays bad. Then they'd take all that bad combat log data.... and???? We assume it gets filtered then? But cleaning up the combat log AFTERWARDS is so much harder than just cleaning it up as it happens live, and you don't need to work with the data twice and it's less work. Idk, like any sensible programmer is having a seizure trying to have that argument make sense
But in the same vein, how did they not know it was going to be an issue or have a plan to deal with it?
Youāre 100% right about all of it with internal information not existing because why
how does Cold Blood interact with Kingsbane?
Only one tick
ew
coldblood as sin?
P badly
what kind of illegal tech
one tick is too little, full duration would be (way) too good
rather use master assassin at the end of it
thought I was being sneaky, lul
i mean if coldblood applied to the whole thing you'd always play it
probably a classic overpromise, overwork, underestimate situation where they had their timeline and stuff needed to be released XYZ day and there's just not enough manpower/hours to make everything smooth beforehand
Somethings never change
you'd prob skip on master assassin if coldblood worked like that
Thanks for the insight whispyr
it's just an Occam's razor situation most of the time
I look forward to the spam next week asking ār we dedā
it usually is š
multispec pov: who tf is "we"
Iām okay with small ST nerf as long as they nerf DH AoE. Talk about an outlier
Itās a grand conspiracy all of the time 
I doubt sub/outlaw sees a nerf? Iād imagine it would just je a sin aura nerf
sin
But Iām š®
As long as havoc aoe gets touched Iām ok
why does my sandglass sims higher than signet on st 5min
outlaw honestly is pretty strong too
that makes very little sense facevalue no?
its just being overshadowed atm
Erase this immediately
that ol is really bad tbf
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
what
but yeah, sd did around 5% in this dungeon
I think he means every time the mobs health moves down because he hit it it flashes white? Not sure though
brh and my char ain't obviously the best combo for analytics
I mean I see the flash
sandglass is a good trinket
but I'm even more confused than before
not sure why this is surprising
on pure st against signet?
i guess i can try delete the profile and import it again
š
contagious
now it isn't
oh hey whispyr can you intergrate the cast bar from critcake to your plater, that one shows a green tick on the cast bar if your kick is gonna be off cd during the cast
i tried to do it on my own but im not sure which mods are fucking with it
you prob have a better idea because you built it
That's the command
He died
nothing shows up š
bot died from the plater flashing
Sometimes he takes a break
tried that during beta and it was just clutter to me
yea its weird
as in he doesn't want it in his plater
because it's unnecessary
I tried it too and didn't like it
now it flashed for a few seconds and then stopped, wtf is going on š
Assa icyveins M+ guide still outdated? Tells us to pop IC in stealth before AOE š¤
o ok
What's the SENSIBLE projection of how much longer I have to wait for dad to come back home from buying cigarettes
@manic quartz go into plater settings, then scripting, find the "color change [plater] one (first picture), then at the bottom there's "edit script for:" and a set of buttons, hit the constructor. look for the flash setting in picture 2, should be true, set it to false, hit save, try again, let me know if that removes it
Hey guys. Seeing if I can get some help on my AOE opener. The basic idea (pre kingsbane) is to empowered garrote and rupture as many targets first, and then go into kingsbane with tempest and envenom right?
10-15 years, then your phone will ring with a call that he's ill and just wants to see you one time before he passes
Yo if this works can you pin this lol. Tons of people use your plater including me and Iām not at pc to change atm lol
if it works I'm just updating it lmao
Based
š«” 
yeah garrote and rupture all targets, make sure you have snd up, then envenom into kb
try to get snd pre pull and ideally never let it fall off, it will make a world of difference
What build do you recommend most for m+ cant seem to find a certain one build that is best, kinda new to assa too
This is why your name purple and I mostly just lurk š¤£
do some degen stuff like the mob by keystone in AD etc
arterial shock
Just speaking purely as a programmer and someone who manages a lot of metrics/logging infra this simply isn't true. Companies have a lot of metrics that arent visible externally. In your combat log example, the log could have trace or debug events emitted from the server into blizzards logging infra and only log combat info events to clients
Got it. I played DTB M+ on black rook with another assa who went zoldyck and he did ~30k more dps overall
That may be the difference with all the large AOE pulls in that one
they should really make snd passive for sin in keys
wtf blizzard gibe access to your graphana/data dog dashboards NOW
overall power level remains relatively the same but a huge qol especially in pugs
they should mame snd passive for all specs at this point
just make it so your finishing moves grant snd for 5 seconds, stackinh up to 5 times
done
Agreed
What's the best AOE trinket out there for Sin rogues?
I fucking love pressing snd at the start of the dungeon and then ignoring it for the rest
15s because of pooling š
that's my spec fantasy
testing rn
yeah whatever time they want, just an example
until the healer dies and decide to run back
but at this point assa presses it once at the start
tilts me tf out
Sin isnāt that button bloated tbh
Snd is the perfect example of dogpoop design
Just wait till u get the ER sepsis kingsbane build
anyone have the copypasta for simming consumables?
!fuu
If this build happens then yes that is def bloat
seems to work now, no more flashing
Saving
!fuu
rip FAQ. are we popping Dance just to refresh / spread stealth garrotes? Im OOTL haven't played since end of S2
use dance for those kingsbane windows
comes up every minute along with kingsbane
thanks
wowhead L website tho š¦
It's the long Whispyr explanation
Or is wowheads stat page not accurate and are these not the prios
im icyveins pilled sorry
on 1st boss HC does spatter also get reduced by the DR of the boss?
yeah our guild is slow but i love the slow prog tbh š
oh you don't KB before DM? interesting
No
no DM first, shiv, dance, bane
Hi guys! I always played subtlety, at the start of this season i swap to outlaw but my guildies are asking me to test assa on m+. Which one is the best build for a total newbie? I saw like 4-5 different builds kekw
gotcha bro
Shock build on wow head most likely but there are literally like 5-6 diff builds that are within a fraction of one another.
All relatively same rotations etc
The wowhead guide was written by Whispyr who's the moderator here. And if we ignore the name-dropping, in general I think it has more detailed opinion on various talents and situations, whereas icyveins is much more limited in that regard.
wait Whispyr doesn't write Icyveins guide?
why not wtf
i thought whispyr wrote IV method and wowhead lol
i thought hes the giga chad
<2
ā¤ļø
<1
Does anyone know whats the % diff in dps from ER/no dance build to KB/SD? Is there a sheet for it?
Arterial Shock + TinyToxic/FlyingDagger Dslice or Arterial Shock + Blindside/VenomRush?
anyoen else getting very energy starved in art shock?
