Is anyone having issues with caustic spatter?
i just ran a 14, with it talented, and it wasn't showing at all

TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back
- If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
- Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
- Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
- With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
Hello ass and sin gamers alike. Somewhat undecided on this. Ring is huge but about equal to Crafted ring that I can get next week (could save the crests I suppose).
Would it be wiser to just get the tier because it’s safe? Or pips (currently 483 hourglass / branch).
Thank you in advance.
Otherwise
@balmy condor I'm 100% sure caustic spatter is not working currently
does anybody have a good WA for branch?
@balmy condor Nvm, i reset my wow and its now working

awesome thanks
Does anything about our ST or AOE rotation change with current 4 set?
You guys stay ST for Fyrakk?
Can take spatter for adds
I think tossing on spatter is worth
unless the big adds are like instantly dying
before the small ones come out
then you're kinda losing a bit of value
Assuming we have 4-set:
After our AOE opener, do we prioritize spreading/keeping crimson tempest up? Or rupture/garrote (on how many targets?) or do we prioritize caustic spatter envenom damage?
yes

For first heroic kill? Yes
For next, more boss dps the betterer imo
I just get so boggled with the priorities after our opener. I get we can use Indiscriminate carnage to spread dots when needed, but I'm talking after all CDs are used
I like to keep CT up until the pack starts getting low. keeping bleeds and caustic up
normally what i focus on
but ideally you're kind of juggling all of it
what about the talent "Sudden Demise"? I figured its still worth applying aoe bleeds even near death since it just ticks basically all at once, right?
nah you take demise for the +10% bleed damage
the execute thing is kind of just a bonus
I guess there would be some minor optimization about when you should / shouldn't reapply bleeds to maximize it? maybe?
I just kinda figured it was nice for m+ especially since its not 100% "wasted" damage if u apply bleed on an enemy near death haha
idk i wouldn't worry about it
gotcha gotcha
Any wa or plater that helps track when you need to reapply bleeds and such?
was the bug that got fixed known before-hand?

Yes
I've mentioned it here several times.
And @slate crown has reported it since PTR
(Apperantly was fixed in PTR, but fix didn't make it to live)
Either way, inconsequential bug
Yeah I just have no clue what to really run spatter on
did the buff persist past the shown buff duration or did it just give you a longer buff than intended?
the wording is a bit confusing
It was half fixed, on ptr it was ~5 seconds literally every time but on live it was only like ~2 seconds and far from all the time
Everything except volocross, nymue and smolderon
It sometimes gave the effects for a few seconds after the buff had fallen off
It was 5 on live all time when i checked
Even with 1CP
well, during rwf rogues were using low CP envenoms during the fast DM setups, they might have abused this a bit 
now it makes more sense why they were doing that
It was inconsistent based on pandemic timers
why were echo/liquid using ashes instead of branch ? did they just not want to farm the branch
I will do that then. Feels like adds never really live long enough to justify
playing branch on fyrakk / tindral opener is quite difficult
A 1 cp envenom base gave 5 sec. A 1 cp envenom pandemicing a 5 cp envenom may give 2s, may give 5, it was weird
on mythic
I see I see
Either way it's fixed now
- Need to actually get branch.
- It sucks to use it, ashes way simpler
i don't even know how you should properly react to heavy boss movement + puddles if you're using branch
- Dps difference is like 1000-1500~
Heavy boss movement is the problem
The orbs float to you
puddles or no, they'll make their way to you
But if you have to run across the whole arena, yeah
yeah, but if your timings are off, its not going to be better than ashes either way
fyrakk is a case of both insanely high movement and a lot of ground effects
for tindral, it's only the opener that the boss has to sprint across the arena twice
your other deathmarks are fine
The difference in DPS doesn't really justifies branch for me personally, if you got both same ilvl
let's say you only want ashes for your deathmark/KB and you don't care about the lingering buff after DM/KB, would you still send it 3 sec into KB?
If you're doing 206k dps instead of 207k not gonna matter for boss dying
that's how that works yeh
i'm having this dilemma on tindral atm, where i have to run to the feather basicly during the last gcd of DM so anything after is wasted
aight, so the buff lasting longer has no influence on the ashes timing
we cast it where we do because the decay
At the end of DM uit gives very little agility
i understand, but i remember someone saying that macroing it into KB is like 0.4% dps loss and i'd assume that using more of the buff also makes this slightly lower
I feel like branch is just clunky as fuck
Let’s say we have Devlin WA but we want to try whyspers. How can we turn off Devlin without deleting it?
just go to load and check never
Ty!
am I missing something why /cast Deathmark
/use Witherbark's Branch doesn't seem to work?
Not only can you barely see you orbs. You can also see other people orbs for some reason.
Ignoring the fact the trinket makes you do a dance in the first place.
yaa
Try /use 13 (or 14 for 2nd trink slot)
quick question do you need more haste in raid then mastery?
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
do we use deadly and amplified?
yes
this lag on tindral when the first roots come out is just destroying my damage. its so bad
what kind of kingsbane damage are we getting in our openers? trying to see if im on track

I mean it's a lot - when you test it on dummies you will notice a big burst when in KB window. Especially when you vanish at the end.
yea, but like 2.5 mil from first kingsbane sound about right?
Honestly not even sure, would probably have to check log
Was a "prog" fight but we 1 shot it
I made the mistake of kbing urctos so lost my last 3-4s of it
Is there a bug that pops us out of stealth in raid for some reason? I swear it's happened a dozen times tonight
I do still have that, is that it? never seen it done that before
do we sim weekly or nightly?
Sorry if this has been answered (new) but has anyone done any testing with augury yet? I got it from normal just now and is doing insane dps on heroic level bosses so far. at 36% crit like 7-8% total damage over the course of a fight.
!dagger
Latest or nightly
Giant is bis
!dagger
How big is the dps upgrade for 2 and 4 piece?
beeeg
yo my sim is tweaking https://i.imgur.com/JbsclY7.png
can you guys help me what im doing wrong?
Says i could be doing more damage
How would i improve?
It’s just calculating your future sims before you enter them
yeah mine been going to like 300% lol
Go pirate boi
Ashes/crab/sandglass - which 2 would be best for keys? all the same ilvl 483
sim dungeons lice
best for keys is usually branch/sandglass but branch devalues mastery so maybe ashes/crab
but sim it
what does my mastery cap at?
is the crab trink actually good?
hmm Is it worth spending catalyst on champion gear? I ahve 2 set atm and 2 catalysts, likely I assume I should wait but im not sure how strong 4 set is. ie. Is it so powerful that I should just get it and worry about getting it 480+ later?
when going into cooldowns what do i need to do to prep? should i be doing an envenom before sending CDs?
what is the main difference when you play AP build from the hybrid? I am doing much less with AP
!guide - Opener in the rotation page tells you how to prep

How many Gfs have you guys done for dagger? I’m at like 20 with no luck
Hello rogues, I am looking to play assassination in raid, since it is very strong in unitarget, is it very difficult to learn this spec? or is there something I should know?
Would someone mind looking at my logs for nymue? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1mxZY8BjHCNWfzRr#fight=last&type=damage-done
The cooldowns really line up so curious how i could have done better?
I got mine last week, took 42 runs
for 1
I'm expecting Nicola in my vault
might take you a few days to get used to rotation: it focuses around shadow dance, kingsbane
anyone else got a weird delay with their opener and dropping stealth?
like when i change from stealth stance to non-stealth, i'd be hitting ambush like RIGHT there and it always misses a ticket and i have to wait to hit Mutilate
can someone explain how to use sudden demise, i feel like im fucking something up badly here lmao
cause the targets died while they had more bleeds on the target
so what, you spam extra hard during the final 35%?
you play like normal, cause demise just exists to minimize wasted dmg from bleeds
you can play to get huge sudden demise damage but im pretty sure thats trolling
well w/e it is, this dude was doing it every pull and mine was doing shit
The key to Sudden Demise is Indiscriminate Carnage right?
yeah that's fine
you got big number
Only 4.3% spatter damage on larry
just not from sudden demise

No Nicky Time! nooooo
hmm, so youre saying you either get that sudden demise damage from other sources or sudden demise itself?
It's gunna be like Beacon all over again
whats making the blackrook rings BiS for us? I thought our stat prio waas generally crit=mast>haste>verse
sudden demise is 150% damage for 100% damage, it's basically 66% efficient on the bleed casts
so you don't play around it
So we are lusting on pull for smoldy prog
5th set gamers rise up
Should I be slamming DM/branch or hold for interm
wow, ilvl aside, most meh vault 😞
how does lusting on pull help prog?
guys what is the best talents for the week ?
nearly 2k que in sims ohh boyy
Feel like people have been hearing you dont get much "usage" during intermission
yeah but like, if you are lusting the intermission, everyone should have their cd's, and if if it doesn't last the whole duration, it is still when you use cd's, and the same thing will happen on pull, just without a damage amp
I looted as outlaw ON MISTAKE
legs are alright, raidbot wanted me to play more vers anyway
KEKW
https://gyazo.com/73fc09df5f4ed4dba9af443fe6d891c6 trinkets done 😄
fucking hell. i need so many crests to upgrade shit
i need more crests than i can get
@nimble vector it’s a similar gene to the one that makes cilantro soapy which I also have. They’re both aldehydes (like formaldehyde, family of chemicals)
and so apparently the genes being present means that it activates receptors in my nose that allows me to smell various aldehydes. Cilantro has aldehydes, that's what makes it soapy. Ants happen to use formic acid for stuff, which is very similar in chemical structure, and so when the ant gets smushed it's like popping a little balloon and I can smell that, hope it helps
how good is this weapon
So I won the roll on Bandoiler trinket and traded it to someone else for Pips W or L?
im between taking the chest and upgrade to 489 then catalyst or just take the weapon and play outlaw in m+
people can't smell ants?
the vast majority of people can't
wtf
that's crazy
i mean they aren't missing much, and tbh sometimes i wish i couldn't but that shit is pungeant af
yeah
it's pretty awful
I couldn't sit in my backyard for like 3 years
cause we had a huge ant nest near a tree
and just being within like 10-15 meters of it
was unbearable
we had a really cold winter though and the ants died out
what does it smell like
tangy?
yeah no shit. i can max two tier pieces on the hero track and a dagger then i'm done
but then i still have other pieces to upgrade and maybe trinkets
mmmmm ants
ew
isolate the smell of milk right when its going bad
but
less milky
it's kinda similar to that
kinda an onion vibe
yeah
man I thought I was being memed hearing this shit
they smell how licking a 9V battery tastes
??????????? who is licking batteries
!up
right spiffin innit to give a lil slobber to a battery oi?

a youthfull past time to slap your tongue on both of these at the same time
is Wafting Devotion better than Sophic? 😮
Why i'm i doing this to myself, i'm building a pos for a project and its so boring.

help
pos?
Point of Sale system sorry ;o
kk i wasn't sure if it was that, or piece of shit
Well piece of shit is def better.
Is there any place to check what spells to click during dance for aoe?
how did you even know I'm English I'm reporting you to the authorities

the more i play spiteful, the more i enjoy it
stockholmed?
its actually a pretty fun affix
stockholmed.
I'm in your walls, doing ant inspection
sniffyr
Is there a special way to use the cruel Dreamcarver? or just use on cd? use it on a specific mob?
just did aiding the accord and a worthy ally quest in like 3 mins
You use it once. On a specific type of mob - depends on which buff you want - and then never use the ability again.
ok thank you! is there a sheet or something somewhere to show whats best?
Nope. It's all up to you. But either dragonkin, beast or mech will do. It's a minor stuff really, nothing to be bothered.
Do i use Dungeon slice for m+ simming ?
cool thank you
wait I can't get more wyrm dreaming crests.... then how the hell do I upgrade the gear that I have?
Yes
wait until next week when the cap increases
oh thank god
Hey can someone tell me...what exactly i need to do...
when i shiv a target...do i spamm envenom until the debuff wears off or follow the envenom 4p rule..use it at 1 sec...
Are any of you guys having problems with the stealth stance bar? like it taking some time to go back to normal stance and you missing a gcd cause you tried to ambush but it says "needs stealth" or something like that
there's a WA you can use to track when to press your CDS during KB
its very useful

not sure if it's in the WA list
Heck, thats annoying

you could always turn off the paging aspect of your bars and just have one whole bar
ohh i see.. ill look for it...just wanted to know about shiv...like usually when im not using CD just using shiv...what do i do...spamm Envenom until shiv runs out or do the 1 sec 4p rule
yeah you only shiv twice during kingsbane window and envenom 4+ CPS
dont shiv anywhere else but KB window
I removed ambush from my stealth bar, i only press if it procs dont care for dps loss too annoying
How?
if you're using Elvui it's in the settings
Was about to say that
I only knew how to do it with addons
Not using any UI addon atm
That's what I'm gonna have to do

you're using default UI for action bars?
Yep
might just be somewhere in home settings then
!dagger
had looked through all option already and couldn't find anything about it, unless i'm too blind
if you go to options then action bars it has something regarding pages but not too sure if that's the same thing
I just got 4p but AP build still sims higher by 4k ? I heard ppl said hybrid sims alot better for them with 4p
I think it's close just got to sim I think
how do you go about reapplying garrote in aoe after you've used shadow dance in your opener?
when you vanish at the end
just gonna trust the sims
90
how tf havoc topping smoldy
90
It's probably worth sending crests on my offhand right?
there a way to keep this notter wa always up? it keeps disappearing whenever i vanish
uncheeck load in combat maybe
So, i'm getting my ass kicked in keys. Like, can't seem to break avg of like 170k etc. How many gcd's are we using in ruptures? Doing like 20-22
what's your ilvl?
i see ty
try simming Hybrid, Ult and AS
i miss blindside on bosses
Both are fine
I tried it and don't like not having blindside proccs and it just feels more fluid for me
feels crafting
Yeah l i like amboosh as well 
Smoldy is gross
Nothing. I play Hybrid over AS build cuz I prefer it in most cases and I do bigger dps overall with hybrid than AS. But then again... I tried AS only once, it was doing worse in ST for me, so I ditched it. I don't need to pad AoE if there are other classes that burst trash packs anyway.
I have gotten so crazy lucky with tertiary stats o.o
any pointers for trying to get stealth in M+ dungeons with chain pulling tank
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gNwnwcckYXeLoyXDQzrG6R
as a baby rogue and monk refugee what should i pick for longetivety cloak or trinket?
ahh so in dungeons dont neccisarily save vanish for KB
lmao, bro is a havoc dh
I mean... you can on bosses, but on trash naaah.
whats the fastest way to get to Hellfire Peninsula from Orgrimmar ?
Hey everyone, just coming back from a break and am jumping back into sin rogue. Looking at the rotation, are you holding shiv's for SD+KB? I read in a couple places that you should never be using shiv outside of 1 and 2 min cds
U wanna have both shivs for sd+kb yes
did it bois: the sex number parse
So long as it's back up in time there's no reason not to use it. It has a 30s recharge
we always play 2 charges of shiv, and we always play kingsbane
so you hold both charges for it always
idk what rayfe's talking about
Fuck subterfuge
5M KB with a 1M critical tick at the end, feelsgoodman
Alright my sin rogue is like 2 days old. Got two splinters in my bag that i can craft with. Should i go with the boots and the other slot for decay ?
issue
Move next to the servers 4head
How is this guy a wowhead writter 
true and real
jk whisp love you
I don't know either sometimes
cause of the cat
they hired a real idiot
I think there are cases you can contrive that it makes sense. It was done on M Fyrakk but that's incredibly niche. If you are delaying DM + KB for 30+ seconds and have a charge, sure. But yeah not a common enough situation to always recommend and shiv not buffing kingsbane is not like, major damage
will they remove crests' cap at some point?
brazil?
Maybe after 4-5 months?
raid is finally wising up to me getting externals... but one of the priests went rogue and gave me 2 seconds of PI as boss is at 1%
RIP my parse
Yeah mate
You must have been cursing on healers...
ops wrong reply
I have a quick question, is it bad to press deathmark after kingsbane or do they always need to be synced?
me too, but i play with 100 latency
i hate it here
a tiny delay there I see 😛
Always DM before KB

ONE TENTH OF A SECOND
FUCK
is there a reason why?
he is never gonna financially recover from that
send that to his raid-lead, he needs to be replaced
'
funny thing, that delay could also be just the server fucking up
Leaving dps on the table smh
But for real I feel your pain
what a time to be alive, both trinkets before prog is over, thats a first
80% of the time subterfuge just slams my head with not changing my bars to normal stance
And my character tries to cast ambush
Gets a "must be on stealth"
I missed 1/10th of a second in 5 seconds, so every 50 seconds I’m missing a full gcd, and depending on fight lengths, that gcd could be a kingsbane, and kingsbane as a gcd does around 2.5mil damage, so I’m missing 2.5mil damage every 50 seconds. Dude the subterfuge bug is FIFTY THOUSAND DPS? No wonder my parses suck
21 Atal, Tried arterial, have an aug, so hard to tell. I'm just trying to get the most outta this thing man, tired of being trash. xD
Damn get better ping my guy
Real
My honest solution was to just flip to using mutilate instead of ambush. It's a loss but like, it's easier for me so I do it. It's not much of a loss, but I never encounter this issue anymore, it's just smooth
And for the most part i'm getting purples on heroic so I'm content with that
yeah but now you've got this great quote from him to use as leverage
proof that he's griefing raid by 50k dps
can we get that pinned and see how many folks start blaming ping for their parses? XD
isnt it?
Atleast not this section I guess, outlaw on the other hand 
I remember we got an aura nerf on top of the rogue nerf S1 and people went insane
decent for rogues?
yes
sick
well played, anything over 200k even with evoker is pretty darn good
Thanks! Playing around BM hunters and DH's makes my heart hurt lol
just did a +18 rise with hunter and DH, would've beaten them if not made silly mistakes
Hello is there any kind of weakaura or graphical settings i can edit to stop seeing other peoples orbs from this trinket
I was playing hybrid build only, in M+ but even on forti 20-21 many times i get to situation even the big add dies waay before my KB ends sometimes even before i even put it on 😅 is arterial more common for M+ and easier to play?
Nope, no way to stop seeing others' orbs
ok thank you
With branch if you don’t stagger orbs and just eat all of them it is a pretty big dps loss I’m guessing?
With the new exsang passive is it worth constantly pooling to stay above 50% energy? Or is it better to get as many envenoms out as possible?
Cause you’ll miss the mastery on the last 3s of kingsbane?
1.5% I think Whispyr had said
Well there is one thing you can turn off to not see other peoples orb. But it's not recommended as the screen needs to be on to play the game 🙈
This is the bad part, but you can instead just use the trinket late
like, use the trinket 3 seconds after DM
then just stnad still
Oh ok, so not the end of the world but a good chunk. Yeah I was thinking the same
You want to make sure you have 3 stacks over the end of kingsbane
that's the most important
Ideally you'd buff the beginning with 2 stacks but, you can prioritize what you're able to realistically do
Yeah I will just worry about the end having 3 stacks and improve from there hopefully. The second shiv is with 9 or 7 seconds left I forget
7 sec left
Uhhh why doesnt this work?
Is there a way to run my own logs for like LFR and stuff?
Yes. You can log and upload any combat really
Is there a how to anywhere I can browse?
Warcraftlogs site has details on how to do logging, you have to get a program from them to manage the files
Perfect!

Honestly not sure, I don't use this much. Try checking Is Unit? Is this character on your realm?
can someone link me the id of Timestrike dagger + TOD and Everbloom trinket?
i wanna sim my statweights after obtaining those :/
Pip is kinda mid for us right? Got one in vault but seems like a bit of a waste taking it
!dagger
i mean its a solid option since u wanna have everbloom / smolderon trinket for on use and some passive 2nd trinket
check bloodmallet tho
ID at bottom
Signet is bis
You can get that addon btw, called IdTips
ty sir
And pip sims only like 500 more than hourglass
Pi question. Who benefit most from it. Uh or assa on bl pull all raid buffs?
but thats for raw ST and alot bosses have some cleave mechanics, which should be considered aswell
i think its UHDK>Assa
cause army is still a strong a.f cooldown
on pull its uhdk
give the priest some consumables and maybe noone will notice, that hes PI ing u
Losing 40k+ in hero window feels bad
True
huh i thought you would say the setting for ever single aoe in game.
pi me has to be written with a space in between for the dibs pi weakaura
Just wish they would make your own glow more
any reason this ring isnt BiS compared to the black rook hold ones, I thought masstery was our best stat.
Having a real issue figuring out what stat-gems to go for? Some are running Vers Mas, some Mas Haste, some Crit Mas etc. Anyone have any idea where I can find any type of benchmarks? I’m slightly afraid to follow RaidBots since it’s showing Mastery Haste and I’m not seeing many with those gems.
depends on your current gear, even a haste vers ring could sim the best
ah ok, thought rings might be based on other stats you have, thanks
raidbots is telling you what should be best for your gear, which is what matters
in general lyour best bet is mastery crit, some may prefer the benefits of vers and your best bet is haste
Alright, so if RaidBots says Master + Haste, that’s what you guys would run for?
Do not look at what others are gemming or enchanting
Thanks
Stand proud in the enchants and gems you pick after the robit told you to take them
Aight! Thanks
idol sims better then pips atm, crazy. guess i take pips anyways
Is there a weakaura to track the 4pcs proc?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
think so yeah
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
the brand is nice but there are trinkets just as good or better and you can always catalyze a head piece

^ that too
not directly but 4p is bound to envenom so if you track the buff you will know if the 4p can proc but you want to focus on chaining envenoms
any way to keep track of improved garrote (vs normal garrote) on plater special buffs?
At what ilvl i should start catalysing gear ?veteran? Champ? Hero? Myth?
When do you use your shiv in m+ with arterial build? U save it for KB or its not bad to just use it even if KB is not rdy?
it depends
if you have packs like uh
medium to small hp mobs, you probably want to shiv in execute
but if you have a big mob you can KB/spatter off of, then you shiv that twice for the entire kb window
max pandemic CT + shiv 5 targets makes sudden demise go boom (along with other bleeds ofc)
you just have to know where a target can live for most or all of the kb debuff
optimizing inherently inefficient damage

sudden demise is a bonus
stop playing around sudden demise
btw incase someone else has been baffled by ninja pulls in some dungeons, toxic thorn boots seem to fly off to a random target sometimes
play around sudden demise in rat meme keys that are like +09
You think arterial is easier than hybrid, cuz i played only hybrid and the thing with targets dying before kb was my biggest issue even on fort 20-21 keys in most packs
legit just try it and see what triggers you less in pugs 🙂
I play hybrid as well, never tried Arterial. But if there's a big diff referring to dps ill switch to arterial of course
I enjoy arterial a Bit more, but both are fine though
489 dreamcarver
Btw my character is like 1 week old. Got 2 splinters in my bag. Would you guys think i should start crafting the boots and the other slot for decay ?
Unique equipped
Yeee
Really dumb. Maybe they don’t want you to have 2 buffs
is dreamcarver off the gcd? I'm out of keybinds, and wondering if it can just be macro'd. I'd assume not.
our other rogue has one too so mog roll
Too powerful at that point or something
You wouldn’t keybind dreamcarver ever
Ilvl is king
!dagger
....and cope for a 489 from vault
after farming my hero branch i dont wanna farm 2 daggers 😦
Got one 483 time and 489 dagger from ad and couldn't care less about farming another one, if it ain't in the vault idc, less than 1% dps increase
if i wanan min max i need vers enchantments for my rings and get a giga haste ring for m+. or other gear with more haste. seems like to much effort tbh xD
If you are going for raid focus yes, thorn boots and toxic patch off-piece.
2nd nick at non 489 isnt a dps increase over a 489 normal dagger
idk if for some people it is
Focusing raids & m+
17 WM, some of those pulls are super cringe
!wa What do you mean by track it? My Profile (below) has an envenom progress bar which may help get more out of your envenom 4pc procs. Most packs here have some display for envenom. My pack also has a little icon to show if you get a proc (This doesn't give you any decisions, its just for fun to confirm you got a proc if you were cutting your envenom close).

Yeah there is an orange and red tick although I have no clue what they represent lol
Red tick is 2sec remaining by default, can use custom options to swap it to true pandemic which shifts around as you gain combo points (I play with true pandemic set). Orange is "You have enough time to rupture at/before this point to get another envenom out after without dropping envenom", I just arbitrarily picked 4 seconds for that, it's more of a guide marker than a hard-line decision
Red is meant as your "Cast envenom after" mark
Is there a channel or someone I can dm for feedback on some logs?
damn, true pandemic tracking sounds like a big hassle to set up
Pretty much here and hope someone responds
I'm my own healer now
Must get current CP, map that out to new envenom duration, and properly flag (which involves delaying or echoing events with a timer to re-flag the condition code to run because if the trigger is already fired it won't update conditions again till it un-triggers) as you gain combo points, then set the tick placement based on that value every time.
So, yes. Doing it as a tick marker fully dynamically on the bar takes some effort. Alternatively I could have just had two giant lists of hard-coded conditions per combo point (like I do with rupture currently which I don't like doing), one for TTK builds and one without, and not have any code in there, but then I'd need a whole separate condition for if someone only wants 2 sec...
What are folks crafting third? Considering a flavor packet on neck/ring (current highest sim upgrade)
isnt next craft in one week?
We don’t get a 3rd spark this week right?
Nope
speed is bis for icy floes frost mage wdym
can cover so much ground with the 5 spells in a row i can cast while moving
my third craft is going to be toxic patch item most likely
i mean that staff is worthless on my rogue but it is pretty funny to have

sandglass?
yea
only person that can even give me sandglass in my m+ group when they're around is the tank
and he also wants it
Branch still the bizniz right?
i wonder what ilvl are m fyrak pants
not higher ilvl?
HI! Can anyone tell me why i still sim so low?
than other options
Does 20% non aoe dr from Elusiveness adds to 40% on aoe?
only thing that is higher ilvl is the trinkets now, 496
no
is Ouroboreal Necklet any good?
or do we not care cause vers
you can sim it
this is the situation I'm facing
do u have branch yet
nope
take branch
Take the branch.
Got ashes
take branch
Take branch.
the only way to get a 489 branch is in vault
i find that odd
you're simming with no buffs
Gonna be in a pickle if there is a branch or Nick in mine. Still have no tier.
Cuz it's a legendary
No 500
very rare stuff is still higher?
(1) You're also simming with the AP M+ build, which is why it's low
(2) Stop simming with stat weights.
you take regardless
Probably ye. Tier will come. Although I do enjoy running Fall and EB.
you may never see a 489 nick
Correct. Hopefully LFR luck at least shines upon me soon so i can get 4-set next week or on 3rd catalyst 
I'm 470 still rocking 447 tier chest and gloves
how does shadowmeld affect subterfuge, masterassasin and IC?
4p overrated 
489 is max mythic ilvl, its only the "very rare" stuff that can be higher
i hate not realising my chat box is scrolled up >:
thinking about changing my race
dwarf better

i dont care about dawrfs tbh. if i wanan roleplay being drunk okay but i want my sexy elf xD
Personally love the restealths in M+, but ye dwarf superior.
i like nelf but
and am curious how it affects those talents and if i may benefit mroe from it then from arcane torrent
bad healers annoy me
with meld i can fully restealth to get IC, MA and SF up?
Pretty sure it’s somewhwre in the LE group
Ye it’s mostly comfy, not that impactful.
so on bosses its just a single skill then?
thinking about trash anyways. some tanks are jsut super bad at chain pulling or letting me drop combat to get a clean opener. no they rather jump into fight wit hone 12% hp mob .
someone had issues with combat not dropping for many secondsafter last death? sometimes i wait over 10s and my tank thinks hes the issue but he plays it perfectly its jsut wow doesnt do what its supposed to do
!wa It's in my profile (below), should be one of the top ones in the list

yeah doesnt benefit from stealth
Do we know when the tweak to kingsbane is coming? Not that familiar with patching on retail.
What tweak
!dagger
We’re getting a nerf to 1,5 minutes, no? Or have i been trolled?
I'll just say they specifically said there would be a tuning patch on 12/5, and that's all we actually know.
Unless there’s a pin about nerf/buff assume it’s fake
What does this timestrike mod do on Nick of time that makes it so good
You have, indeed, been trolled.
1% free dmg
Well call me a dingbat, my day has just been made i guess ❤️
if they were gonna tune it
they wouldnt make it 1.5 min
that would brick the talent completely lol
^
Is the only difference using Mastery token on tier between the PvP and PvE item set 6 ilevels headstart?
CAn both be upgraded to the same amount
2x daggers is 2% dmg?
That’s what I figured. Specced into Sin because the baseline seemed easy to pull off. A change in CD timings would significantly change that.
it's like 1.5-2%'ish with 2 daggers atleast in my experience i've always had 1.5-2% dmg from having 2 of them
And sorry about the dooming 😅 I just saw the latest pin.
i had fun playing hybrid on tyranical
but i guess we back to arterial shock?
idk which one is more comfortable
i enjoyed both
still save it for kb, but if there's a situation where you're going to have time to get shivs back before kb does like before rests or intermissions then go ahead
What % stats should we be aiming for in raiding? Currently have 34% crit, 10% haste, 70% mastery, 7% vers (unbuffed). Hitting DR on mastery, should I aim for more crit?
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
oh nice they fixed the envenom bug, how many people in shambles trying to keep up the buff cause they didn't realise there was a bug
bugfix was a nerf
Honestly you’re probably referring to me 😂
only a nerf if you didn't already adapt your playstyle to cover for it being a bug
Just gonna be an additional challenge i suppose.
how much longer was it persisting tho
it means kinda nothing tbh, except around a rupture refresh
it was minimum 5
so all the 4cp before rupture refresh enjoyers were living life easy
Yo peeps, oes the signet brand sim correctly? Im just checking before i dont take it in vault. it sims so poorly for me.
does*
yeah
thats why
I thought it was multistrike
Ashes/Crab outsims heroic brand for me
i mean, yeha
timestrike is overly complicated
for Something that in the end is litearlly "dmg proc"
I mean I am all for simplifying things to people to explain it to the most people
but I also enjoy knowing exactly what something is
its more or less

everytime you do dmg, you have a ~10% chance too do 10% of the dmg that proced it again as a small dot
or smth like that
I see
how much seconds should you delay from 2nd orb to 3rd orb with witherbark's branch?
6 seconds?
!up
What wa is that?
witherbark's branch weak aura
so u all wait 6 seconds from 2nd to 3rd orb?
or more
That didn't tell me much
7 is the general rule, but from 4-9 seconds there is not much difference
Just have it for your whole KB
I literally couldn't care less if I got it at 4 or 9, as long as I have it for all of KB, stressing about it too much is why people hate the trinket
should i take pips or sandglass?

well then tell the raidbots that you can?
does mainhand and offhand have diff upgrade tracks
or how come i dont save crests
when upgrading a new wep sometimes
finally lined up the juice on ozumat in throne 
sandglass prob better
its easy to line up
i hold cds from 30% on
fuck em
you already have a better item in that slot
so it halves the flightstone cost and makes it cost no crests
do both trinket slots have diff reqs?
and no third dps to grief you
do we use fan of knives in aoe only to apply our poison or do we actively use it to deal damage?
Hey guys, can any one explain to me the usefullness of the Ashe of the Ambersoul and why it was used in Fyrakk MM by both rogue while it sim almost 2% lower than a Witherbark's Branch at the same ilvl?
u dont have to play around ashes as much as u do with bark
and higher ilvl i think
farming a branch for RWF wouldve been too much
when theyre already doing splits
Ok, so I'm keeping my branch then
branch is better if u can game it
Meaning I have the 10 sec of the 3 charges in the last 10 sec of KB?
If you have ruptures on multiple enemies you just mutilate for caustic, in opener after setting up bleeds I use it to refresh poisons on em get cp for ct and then start mutilating
eating the last charge before kb ends yea
also, might be trolly to game em in RWF anyways, fyrakk was rough
Thanks for the answer
Guys do I take mythic legs or heroic tier set hands (it would be my 3rd piece and ai can cata head and make it 4 piece)
What gear slots can you put toxic patch on
belt/wrists
if im doing keys i def want more mast and crit but how low is to low on haste?
ducks are evil confirmed

well we still needed it time it >..>
Do you guys play the M+ build in M+ or just ST with splatter?
I feel like M+ is losing too much on ST
I started the ST one with splatter, it feels nice especially when they are a lot of pack with one bigger HP mob, but not playing high enough keys to really take advantage of it
Ashes and branch good for m+ right?
why both
cant we use both?
why would you
pippppy
ez legs
except

Else AD pants with tert would like to argue
why wouldn't I 😄

I got double leech 470, will probably be using them for a long time tbh
will eventually make them 483
idk use pips or sandglass
Pips never drops:D
got both pips and sandglass in vault (both 483) should i go with the sims and take the stopwatch or take pips to make my guildmates jealous?
I'd personally go for Pip, it's more rare and it's overall better for all kind of content as fas as I know
Pip sims lower then sanglass for me
!fuu

show sudden demise
off-topic but what gems are we using for gem slots?
So happy I did 20 everbloom yesterday and got the branch now I gotta vendor it 😭
high mastery + haste?
hi is it worth getting the augury of primal flame trinket or?
everything else looks like garbage so you may as well
Hey friends! I've been comparing simming the highest sin vs. outlaw rogue with a regular dungeon slice (wrong way to sim?) and it seems like outlaw just sims way much higher. Are sims off in showing the power of assassination?
dungeon slice isn't a good tool to compare different specs
it's better used as a way to compare relative power of gear
and sin slaps in dungeons
Dungeon slice gaming
Alright thanks 🙂
You poor thing
exact same thing with sandglass trinket

You poor thing²
Dunno, at this point most people only get ilvl increases anyways 
oh man i got lucky today https://i.imgur.com/iC57zI9.png
i am wondering why guides for both sin and sub say that pips>sandglass even tho sandglass sims higher for both specs in st.
which build are you guys running for Fort+shades this week?
pips simmed low for me unless i simmed it with a powerful on-use trinket like ashes or branch. maybe there's something there? idk
I dont usually ask tbh, i take what sims higher
pips does sim lower for me and it does sim lower for bis gear as well, but both guides say pips>glass thats why im struggling to pick one 😄
damn
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
what guide says pips > glass
ya same, but i guess i wont see either trinket in vault or get pips from raid
its very gear dependent
if you can take a 489 sandglass u literally cant get that elsewhere
also sub makes sense bc they dont care about haste
glass sims higher tho 😄
for sub
Any knowers why Cataclysmic Brand 483 sims less than a 476 sandglass? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/1Ju9exLFhCwwwGEVLDkevy
Isnt that trinket a banger for all melee
looking at st tho. for m+ pips is way ahead of glass
And that’s why the guide says pips > glass
If you read the note
Where it says exactly that
hahahaahahahahhhaaahahahahah sure
Note entirely true. Its still banger on sub
samesies
screw this game....

or chest if u dont have 4p
I’ve seen worse
i did a rat key on my mage and got bracers in vault, embellishment slot lol
I thought maybe people will understand sins performance if they read the comment you had below the wcl post, but I kinda remembered that reading is a rough topic
I either get head from first boss to catalust
or tier shoulders from smoldy and get head for crest saver
Do not utter the verboten word

We don’t do that here
I even said it zwei times
Where did the peepo christ emote go

Best thing is if people come in saying they r something and you can clearly see they didnt by what they wrote 
nerfs
I had a guy ask me what the stats are on bis so he can aim to something, and legit 30 seconds after I did my whole rant I had a guy ask me what my stats were
I almost lost it
Dang that mustve been on purpose

aim for more ilvl
Send pic of stats pls
god those people who act like their stat percents are why their damage sucks
When they gonna nerf fucking dh 😄
very much is
I only blame my gear when I parse under 90, and when I parse over 90 it’s all skill and when I parse 98 it’s all rng that I didn’t parse any higher
Remove PI
I got 94's on gnarl and igira, without pi, painge

I should make a video on the wild things people post in the rcl notes rolling on stuff. You'd think they are capable of research if they raid CE, but man. Hunter rolling on a hero track bow for stats while he has a mythic track bow. People using wowhead for trinkets and rolling BiS on all the 4 S tier trinkets
But purple on volo

Parse bad = not my fault
Parse good = all me baby lfg
Remove PI
You could just say windwalker
