Fuck taking gouge anyway

Blind works wonders, especially if you have the airborne irritant (or whatever the talent node was called) that makes it aoe. You can cast in a group near the incorp and it usually blinds them, or target the incorp to be sure and get everyone around it
okay cool. Im still learning what tools we have for m+ lol
ye aoe blind is sick for m+ as well
for hard interrupts
esp when you have 523432398423984239842 stuns in the group
petition blizzard to make tricks of the trade baseline again
because choosing between blackjack and tricks is kinda toxic
30% DR is nuts
cheap shot see any use?
last minute desperation if a cast is about to go off
but outside of that 1 off use, nah
not worth giving up time in dance/using vanish for
Yeah why did they f our tricks
And only if you have stealth active at the time, otherwise I never see it used or use it myself
yeah I took that shit off my bars
esp as assa w/ garrote silence
kinda unnecessary
airborne halving the cooldown of blind + kidney shot
you kinda never need cheapshot anymore outside of pvp
I mean tricks is for everyone, not just yourself
lol
Tricks let you help move mobs to the tank
I can tell you I'd appreciate a tricks on my pally
as he charges elsewhere to grab more mobs
Our dev voker has been traumatized by that same sentiment
I press 1 button and just die
I mean that's why you have bubble
Didn't dev spells get threat reduction?
Yeah just bubble forehead
Or bop
I can't do it every pull 
They still pull a ton of threat
true
is this a good beginning

Not awful. I’m sure there are places to improve though!
assassination is kinda doo doo for smolderon
council is a meme
everything else seems fine for someone who just picked up the spec tbh
yeah that'll do it
and overcap my cp

Same
i ask for PI from a priest every pull
I have to bribe my priest
and the priest said he charges 10k per pull

Not even 10k per raid
My hunters got my back and told our priest to PI me instead of them
what a beast
Unholy should be the only person who completes with us now
Their burst on pull still better
So technically you wanna pi unholy on opener and sin rest of fight
Can you link the spreadsheet for this please
No execute PI sim 
Ye that's why sin so good overall is the last pi in execute I think
someone just needs to poke him in discord
and ask him to update the simc build for his charts
he's really good about it most of the time
!dagger
!dagger
Thanks you!
to be your bot
good bot

ty
im everywhere ??
discord is cringe and won't search for specifically "!dagger"
discord the consciences observer
Third week i get boots in that stupid dungeon
play outlaw?
hot

kinda based tbh
i am waiting Nick of time for so long
you just run dawn on mythic 0 right?
is there a "good way" to spend bullions? or just buy whatever gives most ilvl?
yeah you should prioritize bis trinkets / MH
Ye spec channels have pins
what good chocies are
well the vendors don't sell nick, is there a 2nd best one to get from the vendor
It doesnt really matter what dagger you buy
Secondary stats are fake either way
Id just suggest to buy the dreamcarver because it effectively comes with a speed proc
Well, having the "perfect" distribution of it. You just want more of it
i have Ashes dropped, i see the sim linked in the pins using signet as 2nd trinket but no clue how sims work idk what it's sim'ed for, i mostly wanna run dungeons and aoe content, is signet still good to get besides ashes?
i would get grieftorch especially if you'd ever play one of the other specs
don't rly care about other rogue specs
but maybe i should get dagger, my dagger have both vers on them
hey maybe stupid question but is there a difference between dawn of the infinite mythic 0 andd hardmode for nick of time drops?
!dagger

how tough is hardmode dawn of the infinite? im getting declined left right and center at 508 ilvl
It feels like a 22/23 did sort of
Maybe less
Its not super hard but you gotta do mechanics
ok so not puggable lol
boss hp is low, but the damage you take is high
I tried it on the 1st week and if I didn't use cds on the 1st boss when he puts the sand out it would one shot me 
if you can clear a 10, it aint bad, but i wouldnt take a pug below 515
healer has to be on point too
got it... my group is doing 8-10s right now
When we use ashes? Before our shadow dance or?
On dm
both on a 2min cd right?
ye
then yes
they just decline you because they know 99% of the rogues leave after 2nd boss

After the buffs where do you guys think sin is for pi? still behind evoker and dk?
:)
haha yeah thx
sin might be higher even
windwalkers dont exist in raid anyway
That’s what she said
Is assa doing better after the buffs?
yes
Ofc it’s doing better it was buffed! Enough to notice though? Yeah
Mighy try it out,
Outlaw in pugs is 
Got told to do more aoe dmg with an sp and boomy in group
True 
"Hey spec that does aoe based off prio damage for like literally the entire existence of the spec do more aoe"

Ig theres some dungeons where sins prio burst is really good
Both nokhud and rlp have decent profiles
Theyre pugs
Cant expect too much
HAHA
(we skip double, because double negative is a positive and fuck them casters)
its a boomy (aka the biggest fucking idiots on the planet) and a spriest(FotM Roller)
what the fuck do you expect? smart stuff out of their mouths? 
I was told that fury warrior was worse than assassination pre-tuning
like unironically
by a boomkin
you see
rogue is OP
the end
I was like "compare non-PI logs"
thats how 98% of the playerbase see rogue
Anything a boomy says
you sended me the screenshot oxi, i know it 
Interpret as polar opposite of true
then I showed them the top 15 magmorax logs, excluding externals, for both assa and fury
and their response
"LUL WHO CARES ABOUT TOP LOGS"
"ITS JUST PAD"
you know
all that pad on the single target boss magmorax
im padding HARD on volcorros aswell

or however that fire snake is writen
Real
close enough
boomkins expecting to be taken seriously
and they haven't bothered submitting a profile to simc
Idk how they'll be power-wise, but their Hero Talents seem absolutely 
Someone has the Whispyr weak aura he made from the afenar pls?
or just a decent caustic tracker
as uninteresting as rogue
id say hunter ones are even more exciting
if anythign
rogues are udnerdesigned, but not boring theme wise
I’d never even consider rolling hunter
hunters themes are actually boring
Idk why but they always seems like the least knowledgable players in any sort of content
Yes
it could be just confirmation bias - you are extra vigilant when observing hunters, so you notice more of their mistakes
Or they just be stoopid
For example, with warriors: they are either 99% or 9% XD
its rare to meet middle of the pack
The hunter pack is always rock bottom thats why
hunter themes are cool for their trees
the problem is that all 3 trees are the same desing lmao

"play like you allready do, and sometimes summon a pet that does dmg" is all 3 hunter trees
Could be true. I just saw the packleader one in more detail and it was rough
idk i find the survival bombs pretty fun
like, Sentinels and Dark Rangers ARE big things inuniverse
especially on sentinel
its just that they made the same tree 2x with them lol
i have one embilshment on wrists whats the other better one? boots or belt?
hmmm
how can i sim on what slot the crafted will be better? idk how to use that lol
mythic plus...boon or torch? torch sims higher on dslice for me but i remember boon from s1 was crazy
win win it seems
torch just has the value that its kinda braindead to use + helps with things like bursting boss mechanics down
boon is not really a thing for boss fights aswell
where does priest's husband boomkin fit in there, and ret palys who have the legendary, they seem to take the PI in our raid despite us having both UH DK and myself, assassination rogue 😄
thats honestly a failure from the raidleading side then
unless its a meme parse run
Side note, wasn't trying to diss on the choice. Different strokes for different folks 
kekw idc
I care 
fight me

Just took a look at the logs, assa seems to be on top this week
anyone knows?
with the ilvl upgrade, it will get better and better right ?
I hate playing sub tbh so I’m really happy sin is getting buffed
Sub has more survivability than sin ?
yeah i'm going through our logs, a couple fights we actually had 4 priests. one was getting the UHDK every time, one was getting her husband's boomkin, and then the other two were each getting a paladin because they have the legendary axe (even though one is a tank getting PI). It's actually really frustrating.
yeah it also has acro which makes it alot more comfortable to play around
what has the legendary to do with Pi 
mechanics
coolness factor for some
its more like
assa has "only" the basic rogue toolkit
aka cloak with 2min cd, evasion which is very very niche and 2x feint
outlaw has CDR on everything and cus of that they have deffensive stuff up all the time
do we have french fries? Can I have some of yours I forgot mine at home
while also having some passive deffensive talents on outlaw
sub has CDR on everything with shadowdust which also makes things like cloak avaible waaaay more often and has deffensive talents
tl:dr
I'd share my fries with you

assa has "only" basic toolkit with full cd's, outlaw/sub have passive more deffensive allready and can also reduce the cd of deffensive stuff
(cdr on deffensive skills should not exist btw)
Ok my bad never realized shadowdust worked on defensive too
OL lets you ignore mechanics
SHHHH how else would I have evasion up for every huge pack of spiteful
sub has cloak for every single smolderon intermission 
But yea outlaw cdr is nuts for having évasion on every pack on mm+ lol
you just tell your healer you're dueling
now combine it with elusivness 🙂
and you battle the spiteful to the death
its like fighting depression
you only win for a short time and take heavy dmg

and then it comes back
why'd you have to make it real
Im always going to lose
ok
ye
is it normal that the cleave and hybrid build for M+ sims higher than the shock build in dungeon slice
Apologies if this has been asked again, but in the spreadsheet sims, is PI turned on for the Assa ST Simulation? That would explain the 22k difference in my own sims between Assa and Sub
what piece do you use to do fire dmg to proc with the Seal of Diurna's Chosen?
So I just came back after a while and got 3 bunyuns from killing bosses and such, and I have the 2 available to me from the weekly quest. If I don't complete the weekly quest on a character, do you think I'll be able to get those 2 from drops like I did the previous three starting next week? I plan to complete the quest on my rogue but not sure if I should be trying to do it on my warrior as well (warrior stopped playing in season 2 and is like 449 ilvl so going to have to put some effort into getting it up before).
Might wanna get those feet checked out
iirc if you dont finish the quest you'll lose out on the 2
hmmmm k :/
Like you can miss the 1 you get off raid drop and get it the following week
But the weekly is a different story
You can just spam 4 AA's M0's and get it done super quick
hey, is that whisp in his programing socks?
I always plan for the worst case with blizzard
I'd do the quest just in case
safest route tbh
for manic + ashes open with everything + ashes or do i manic and then wait for ashes to come back up to pop everything?
should I be chaining Envenoms over and over again or should I aim to be above 50% energy for sanguine blades and just pandemic Envenom close to it wearing off?
You dont play around blades... You just want to make sure you pandemicing your env outside of CD's
Within CD's you send env as much as possible
!pooling
Read About Pooling
Video
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
nvm answered my follo-up without tier too lol ty
ok ok so with this in mind if I can still maintain Sanguine I do outside of CD's while still procing tier
If you don’t have tier yeah

someone has gear from boolions to sim?
can run droptimizer
Either run droptimizer or add them to your topgear with the search function
i also did put 4 items in the pin in #subtlety that might be relevant
can use the gear lists from #tc-research alternative (both for top gear)

does grieftorch "work" with the smolderon dmg amp?
yes
damage taken increases don't care what damage they're taking
it's the "you deal increased damage" stuff that doesn't work on trinkets
this damage amp he talking about that dont work, boss amps work on trinkets

interesting rogue changes, F for acro
read the outlaw faq?
Being stubborn and playing sin without it for the last 2 seasons winded up being a good thing since it weened me off it
Cut to the chase baseline js beautiful
Sexiest change for sure
+
hey what talents u play for m+ hybride ?, arterial shock ?
Is shadow dance only a subtlety thing now in TWW with these changes?
no
#tww-assassination and yes, outlaw and assassination don't have access to shadow dance in the next expansion
That’s awesome!
Thought i saw someone bitching about SD still being prevalent in other specs outside of sub
Guess i mixed that up

but they removed it from the class tree
like
Holy shit we also got a extra charge or vanish and 6 secs of Subterfuge
can you receive multiple [Incandescent Essence]?
And they switched Acro with Recuperator spots too
It is not consumed on use

hi my raider need help his name is @hollow vault aka tubas he play sin in keys :/ and in raid he ask for pi
And?
give him PI
ok i will

problem solved
My brain having a hard time dealing with no acro
and being in the right channel
Im playing sin
oh you mean just playing no acro
yuh
I thought you were talking about the acro rework
Dont even know about the rework
sadge
for the best really
jesus blizzard, just increase all classes meleerange by 2y
if 3y is too much
i dont wanna tickle boss balls while standing in 99999 voids
i never cared enough about acro
to care about it going away
it's a nice to have, but takes like a couple of dungeons to get used to not having it

True
Finally got to get some pulls in and it feels nice
Hadn’t played sin since Dec
I'm up the bosses ass like thanos
Pls blizzard let us hang free
Give all melee +2-3y and delete extra range talents
It does feel weird being up the bosses ass now
You press a button then nothing happens then you’re like oh right booty pov
make this a petition
All melee but rogue and feral
ty
EU stats are in turns out sin goodge
(with pi)
Apart from blizz mishandling survival hunters and bugging sub/aug all classes seem pretty close in raid
Now if only they could do this for keys
Where are you folks using your Manic Grieftorch in your rotation?
whenever it's up and I'm not in cds
Would you prioritize your normal opener with it and THEN use it? Or use it in between?
you ashes with deathmark
that puts grief on cooldown cause shared cd
when grief comes up
you press grief
oouch
not having a stat on use for cds hurts a ton

ashes next week and you ascend
Yeah, I miss ashes, but all my sims are suggesting I use the Brand
So I should have Ashes + Grieftorch on Tuesday
Just out of curiosity, when do you work Ashes into your opener?
I have it macro'd to kingsbane+dance
Wonderful, that's what I was doing last leason too

How many paladins do you want?
Yes!
Aint no way burst specs are good at short fights 
Amirdrassil wasn't THAT short
i coudlnt stand being a top dps class
it's stolen valor from poor bugged augs
PvP trinkets? What in the minigame
amirdrassil is also full of good sin fights
idk 
this emoji is slightly triggering me, i hate having things selected
kek thats the point
are the M+ builds on wowhead what we are still going on tyran week?
But cleave will suffer a bit in AoE if you don’t have a high health mob that can survive a kingsbane
I don’t play anymore idk what high and low keys are anymore

10 = old 20
Arty shock will probably be default unless you have a good reason to not play it
This season +12 is a +22
Fake news
I didn’t use cleave until like 25s last season
Keys got easier overall
If that’s any barometer
People already doing +20 aka 30
In week 2
Keys got hyper inflated
It's more like +5 difficulty not +10
Fake news when blizz posted it themselves ?xd
Yes
Ok enough assa chat back@to outlaw
guessing i gotta run thistle even tho i hate not using acro
Is it a bug or not, shadowstepping behind council bear , n you receive frontal ?
yep
the hitbox on the charge is very big
if you step mid-charge you're still in the hitbox
Ty
!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
@harsh harbor
ty sir
So save vanish and shadow dance for when you can't re stealth instead of kb window in mythic plus packs?
yes
But how does this account for the fact that garotte rupture spread is done in the carnage window
For anyone that uses LE Weakaura pack, what does the red bar mean? I know light green is shiv and dark green is tea. Correct me if I'm wrong

Just ask them @slate crown
From the timing id guess vanish but yeah you could just ask
Looks like the carnage icon
Oh wait you mean on the kingsbane bar?
That’s when shadow dance runs out
its for imp garrote
Correct, it is when shadow dance ends. @scenic nacelle
The intention is yes, “this is when your garrotes are no longer improved, and your ambush is no longer accessible”
ty, great work on the pack. Love it
oh theres 2 of them I guess you dont ahve it macrod
You can also enable icons to show up on those bars rather than bars alone, on the options tab
since the expiring one is so far on the right
sub parses looks so funny, apparently set is bugged for logs
yea, sec tech damn not counting unforch
Oh yes, the Red one also is when to use Ashes. In s3 there was an optimization on uses Ashes 3 seconds in. That’s that bar and should only show when you have ashes equipped.
However that recommendation changed and most people just macro it with KB now. You can disable that tick mark on the custom options page too for now, I will consider disabling the tick by default now that it’s just combined with KB
Good ask, I had forgotten about that tick
cool good to know
im lost, dont know where to find the tick
thoughts on [Glittering Gelid Goldchain] 502, simc better than my 522 from azure vault?
this one you get killing weekly boss in emerald dream, big bear.
20ilvl, but simc shows 7k+ for 502 piece.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
link the sim
you already know its user error xd
7k is a ton though
yeah
that's like a full 2.5%
from a 20 ilvl downgrade
and no special green text
I ain't buying it
gotta be missing sockets or something
okay one sec
nvm azure one has mastery aswell
which trigger is it? 9?

Patchwerk lovers, the estimates in fuu’s sheet are a little low; I have us at 375,733 DPS which is +0.64%. This has Sin beating Sub by 0.34%. Congratz on 2nd place!
Sin M+ folks, our time is now! DSlice sim updates with my APL puts us at 511,739 DPS (+14.5% from the SimC APL). We’re only 8.6% lower than Outlaw and 16% higher than Sub. You won’t see these gains unless you use the APL in the link; it’s just like the SimC APL but without the sandbags in DSlice. Most importantly, keep being awesome.
When do i refresh rupture + garrote? When they've fallen off or 1-2sec before that happens?
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
^ like this
If I understand correctly I should let empowered bleeds fall off and then refresh?
Also sorry for dumb question, empowered = Improved garrote or Sanguine Blades buff?
okay so stealth garrote gotcha
no snapshotting on that or anything
kk thanks<3
np
pretty garbage
it would be your second trinket alongside the puzzle box
over the cct
dropped 2 :S
and puzzle > cct?
they compete for different trinket slots
puzzle is your on-use for cooldowns
cct doesn't contend with that
that's fine
the bandolier is probably better than cct
but not by much
you'd really just want to get an ashes and a grieftorch with your next bullions though
its 90s cd honestly cct might be better
yeah, will get grief with bullions
but yeah you just buy trinkets with bullions
u think cct better than puzzle?
you have 2 trinket slots
lifes rough
one is an on-use stat trinket
for your cds
the other is the filler
cct is not an on-use stat trinket
it does not compete with puzzle
by on use he means something that gives stats
they are not comparable
not actual bandolier
that's why I said on-use stat
I can't stand talk about trinkets, i wish I could hide the fact that I bought this as first trinket XD
thats fine
signet is good
Not better than grief most fights:(
was thinking it would be nice for diurna procs
didnt know back then it stacks so slow
this took longer than planned
- When you get a warning for pedro-ing in tww-assasination
Rise up pedros
does numbing poison stack with warlock one?
thanks
Worth noting that the cast speed rarely works again bosses/big enemies
Most notable use for it is the casters near nokhud second boss
Do you guys take bug reports here lol. Or is it just for spec discussion, I found a weird talent interaction which isn't viable but still broken
As in it doesn't work
not overpowered
Sure just mention it
Well, anyway. if you don't take [Improved Garrote] for whatever reason, [Iron Wire] no longer silences targets from stealth. Idk if they were previously related & got moved around or what.
I was trying to make a low-energy build and stubled across this
Stumbled rather
I think i remember that one
someone mentioned it early last season after the rework
I think it was just widely ignored because there's never a world where you skip imp garrote

I have a faint memory of it working if you didnt have subterfuge specced as well
But i could be mistaken
i don't think i ever tested it personally
As in, no subterfuge and no garrote, then iron wire works

Ah, no unfortunately my dumb build has neither of those currently. Still no iron wire.
Unfortunate
Is there an efficient way to harass blizzard about this kinda bug or is it just hopeless
probably hopeless
but if you can log / video it
and do like some test cases
someone can add it to the pile

Do I need anything specific or just a simple like obs recording of it on a training dummy
obs recording probably fine
maybe get clips of like normal setup, no imp yes subterfuge yes IW, then no imp no subterfuge yes IW
Would I just dump it in this channel? Or is there a bug part here
oh ok neat. I didn't wanna inconvenience anyone by just dumping a video and stuff lol
thanks
ig you could technically add the bug to the github yourself but probably better to let someone that has done it before do it
also it's not necessarily going straight to blizzard
but it'll at least be known

and likely extremely low prio
cuz you're probbaly the only person in WoW not using imp garrote 
hate to burst your bubble here but this is kinda less of a bug and more of just how the spaghetti is made behind the scenes
that one's been known for a while
but the issue is that iron wire (and shrouded suffocation for that matter), builds on top of improved garrote
in the code they work as extensions of improved garrote themselves
so they functionally just don't work without improved garrote
it was just kinda coded that way from way back when it was attached to subterfuge in wod or legion or whenever
and just survived since
it's been reported before but kinda... I don't wanna say ignored, cause it was received
yeah that's what i meant when I mentioned idk if they're related or used to be or got moved around. It seemed like a old prerequisite kinda thing to me.
but it was... brushed off? I guess
there's basically never a reason to take shrouded without imp garrote, and iron wire without imp gar
I just want to make a build without Path of Blood, I actually want improved garrote. but I can't get it without increasing my energy which is what I was trying to mess around without doing lol
ROI evaluation said dw about it 
imp gar is so high up in the tree it's basically just a required point
so it's probably on a bug list somewhere
but the payoff of investing time into fixing it
just ain't there
The only reason is i'm forced to take PoB 😛
and probably never will be
you 100% cant
what's wrong with pob
cheat death or elusiveness?
cheat in most cases
cheat death if you don't wanna think, elusiveness if you can plan it ahead
elus good tho at high keys where things will one shot you w.o feint_elus
i dont wanna think then lol
Nothing partiuclarly wrong with PoB i just wanted to see if I could find a build that didn't have so much energy.
but most of the time just cheat
Mostly out of nostalgia
cata classic has those 
😆
Yeah I hated cata the first time I'll likely hate it again :l
If you didn't find the option
has anyone been experiencing audio tearing since reset?


got it, ty
pls no, nerf it again 
hey guys so sims are telling me to lower my haste and mastery to raise my crit the thing is im losing 6% mastery 4% haste to gain 4% crit is this worth the swap ?
sim is right
cleave dummies in Valdrakken taking 1 damage?

sim saying cata but it is non-stop 5min fight
wait wtf just happened? I just did a full aoe opener on target dummies just while idling chatting and
Why is all my damage doing like 1 damage
you stink
somenoe mentioned that earlier
0.0
might be a spaghet thing
dummies are cooked yeah
yeah mobs outside vald are fine, just the dummies
Get this, spriest has a bug where just psychic link is doing 15% instead of 30 on dummies only
There’s some major spaghetti going on rn
Is M0 Doti same difficulty level as all the other M0s rn?
regular m0 yes, not hardmode
Mom’s spaghetti?

should we do rupture in KB? or just all for shiv and finisher
Ideally you have enough rupture to last the duration of KB before starting so that you can spend all CPs on envenon
havent done any math or theorized behind it but i do think elusiveness might be better than cheat death
im 99% sure its better for pvp
yeah i mean if you use it correctly
but that excludes like 99.5% of the playerbase off the rip

yup
i love pushing feint
from that patch with the reduced cost that made it almost free it just coded into my biorhythm
i just press it
it was addicting to spam a free mitigation
yee its gud
How have your keys been this week so far @rotund oak
My group has been busy all week, haven’t gotten to push at all yet. Super curious to see how it goes up against priest/BM
havent qued yet,did the ilvl jump but just stepping into 10-11s rn,ill que my own keys once im done,kinda busy this week
do you like full everything on smoldy at pull or save first deathmark for orbs
you always gotta adapt to the time it takes for your specific raid to do each fight 🙂
which can be hard to guess in pugs 😛
gnarl & volcoross both died the moment DM was ready, making me parse under 80 on both fights ❤️
to fix these 2, I'm gonna have to join one of those raids that you know are gonna be noob raids just by looking at them in the group finder, because I need their overall dps to be low for perfect cooldown timings 🙂
yup u need to rng a pug that is slow enough to allow u to send ur cds
Could I get some advice on what to spend on my bullions and what to craft first? https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/tichondrius/cephtis
I actually regret crafting a weapon on week 1, ive had plenty of hero track daggers drop, so now I'm 2 weeks behind on refreshing embellished gear and have crippled ilvl ;/
and even myth Kazz gave dagger and was easy in a pug
previous season i wanted the wpn craft 1st week,ended up costing a fortune and i kinda regret it after week 3-4
now im playing the patient game
got kazzara dagger and prolly bullion dreamcarver if i dont loot it tonight
also,im not going into raiding after tonight,its pointless
delayed gratification always leads to success 🙂
its too easy to get a good weapon with the crest system
You never know what you might drop
Tho daggers are available where ever you go, which is why I dont craft one
coming in very late, but can confirm that monk healing broke my stealth in a raid earlier today.
Yeah
What build would you recommend when things are dieing super fast in m+.
Arterial or cleave?
I've been doing 8s and most of the times my kb doesn't come close to ending even tho I activate it pretty soon
Arterial if everything dies quick
It does xD
People do so much dmg and pull so fast in 8s
Thanks mate
Ive been rolling cleave this week I'll give arterial a try today
im doing arterial shock all this time,it behaves pretty good in that range as well
but i think overall and for tyr weeks hybrid should be better
The builds that rely more on KB damage for aoe might suffer a little more currently
Depending on what classes you run with
If their main aoe is dots with cleaving off of 1 target aswell, you might choose the same target
Which sucks
Ty
uhm where is combat speciaisation for cataclysm
#classic-discussion, pins in that channel should have links to other discords
i think it is kinda hard to sometimes make sure u send KB while spatter is up and through some mechanics but in all it rly pumps
there are certain packs like neltharus sin blows up the pulls before other classes do any dmg
like before last boss with the bird or just the 3 mobs+2 sniped before u entry the last boss area
i like it alot when u press KB and all the bleeds are up and DM running
rly satisfying

We were getting some keys up for guildies yesterday, ran sin in some 13s, felt pretty good overall
I still need some more getting used to, was playing with fragment and gear that was more sub than sin, because I still dont have all my sin stuff on decent ilvl
But it wasnt far off comparing to our wl
Destruction is bugged rn tho ive heard
Anyone buy the flower daggers?
good day fellow assassins
Ive already seen some night elf druid-like rogue mog with it tho
cmon what's better than getting sapped by a flower boy
!fuu

Darn tootin
I see dagger, I buy
Pets > daggers > mounts
I’m more like mounts>pets my gf thinks are cute>daggers I’ll never tmog but still think are cool
Why arent more people playing assa? Tried to keys and the dmg seems to be fine (if you get resets)
resets?
YOu mean restealth?
Restealth
!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
Ahh
Yea, is it just survivability then or?
luckily for me, you have the perfect remaining lifespan



But yes, sin is the Squishest of the three specs
but still tanky
Yea,
I had a sin last week doing 400K in Nokhud
and that was before buffs
So they kinda pump
Yea i did 340k in a +8 when trying the spec out, big prio damage
Uldaman golems go 
doesnt seem that impressive when the sp does 1mil
It was 12 neltharus
dev evoker and outlaw 
Yep
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
With Aug lmao
Isn't this flawed, cause without restealth you can't spread bleeds efficiently with carnage.
.......
DONT YOU WILL DESTROY THE CITY
hey guys anyone reason why outlaw simming higher than sin on patchwerk? I have bis trinks and weps at 522 and 50% mastery
oh okay what is a good number to aim for?
there are no specific numbers,just favor mastery a bit more
always simming is the best answer
kinda curious if u dont mind that sim
but fyi outlaw does sim higher in general
the most cringe moment is like, u can do 300k+ without PI, but the priest doesnt want to give u a PI to make u 500k

There is a flaw in that 
I've seen 1m log no aug
Casters are not balanced
im dumb my mastery is at 45%
Enable your buffs mate why sim so low
you have no buffs enabled brother 
also idk about those gems
and the embelishments kinda sus
sin kinda favors BSL
Why simming hectic add cleave
yeah I used up my crafts for Outlaw but trying to see if Sin was better
Im stupid man
HAC is very bad sim
link
give me a sec
yeah its just the gear I have right now - was trying to see if I should stick to outlaw or go sin with what I have / upgrade etc
Honestly you can sin with what you have and be ok
should try simming double BSL
The rotations matters more than the gear if you have a strong on use stat trinket (relatively)
i think everything matters but ye,cant agree more^^
Put a helm enchant on mate
ok fair enough
You are forcing shadowflame wreathe on ur weapon cause no helm enchant
he's playing with an outlaw rogue though
yeah dont have helm enchant bro - I only started playing last week after season 1
Then do some amirdrassil and get it 
Oh really? thought you need to do it for like 5 weeks or sometrhing? we are on h fyrakk - will kill on monday
did you get the quest
each boss should be dropping a ton of the shards now with all the catchup in
Awesome will get onto it 😄
I didnt even know there was a quest haha I am 4 ephemera away
🙂 thanks for the help guys!
if I recraft my belt to have BSL and change all gems and enchats to have mastery crit I am still simming 7k higher at outlaw on patchwork - so I gues sI will stick to Outlaw till I get another spark
just got the head enchant
😄
reminder
sims are not reality
and assa always tend to sim lower
meanwhile outlaw sees close to 0 "serious" raid gameplay
cus sim dps is not what makes something good or bad or whatever in raids
therefore we should all play affliction because it can move without much punishment
haha my fingers start to hurt with outlaw and I got lucky with ashes, betrayers and fang in last h raid so I was like okay lets try sin
