i see
Yeah if I have everything ready I'll of course follow opener but if not then 2 shivs is plenty of time to still affect 2 CB envenoms even if cold blood is delayed, again not saying that it makes sense number wise but it makes sense in my head xd
anyways arterial precision 30% bleed damage buff is cool or whatever but its only 8 seconds and target capped
shiv doesnt boost kingsbanes aoe tho
i mean it would technically with arterial but like, barely
ur only increasing the spatter itself by 30%
yeah
and targetcap
okay cool. and how about Shrouded suffocation and Serrated bone spike? better to take both?
kinda need both theyre like the glue that makes the whole thing work
without suffocation using ic is fucked
yeah i can see that
like there is the cleave build that does most of the changes ur thinking of
but its
specializing REALLY hard into st damage and fucking your aoe
yeah makes sense
blindside + zoldyck, i assume we go for that since we dont use a shiv build , huh?
or swap blindside for tiny toxic blade, for the energy effeciency on shivs?
idk id recommend just looking at wowhead and reading the builds lol theres 3 of them for m+ and they all have long descriptions explaining their purposes
energy is super who cares in m+
oh ok, i was reading up on icy veins but there's not much to read about the builds
u have infinite
yeh icy is just less info
and less up to date
I just got champion 3/8 chest in delve. Does it worth upgrade to tier using token this week?
Hmmm, does our poison/nature dmg stuff effect the Toxis trinket?
only use catalyst once you have another piece of tier and can actually finish the 2/4set
i got a champ helmet and catalyzed it assuming itd be safe then got hero track from a delve map and now im fucked

be patient til u get another piece from raid or a 2nd charge
okay thanks
can we just bind skardyns grace trinket wth Dm since they share a 2 min cd?
ye
what spec are u guys using for dungeon atm?
This is gonna sound crazy
but I'm actually running Assassination atm
lol, talentbuild ofc
hey guys, are the delve trinkets sim reliable atm?
!craft
Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime
Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
Wow, Shadow Essence (https://www.wowhead.com/item=225693/shadowed-essence#comments) is simming really high for me. Even above 606 upgraded trinkets
Big if true
anyone here using the LE wa pack that can tell me what this is :
figured it out nvm. its thistle tea
Psst yall super quick, I apologize for the random question. When you get Darkest Night, and your envenom buff has like 3 seconds left. Is it better to send a normal envenom to keep the buff and then do the full combo point envenom for Darkest Night? And when I'm low energy with this same scenario and not able to build up to max combo points for the Darkest Night envenom during the envenom buff, do I just send the Darkest Night without the envenom buff?
What do you do if you run outta energy in ST? Just stay still n auto attack?
!pooling
Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on envenom
- For Fatebound, sanguine blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
- For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play vicious venoms instead of sanguine blades as well.
The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.
ok, so wax is definitely so bugged, hope they fix, but won't hold my breath
if we overwrite the envenom buff with another one, does that overwrite the damage (wasted) or does it do something to compensate ?
Does our poison/nature dmg stuff effect the toxis trinket?
No
any spark senders?
I did
I’ll probably regret it, but I’m not r1 raiding so it isn’t a big deal
You are full speed slamming for darkest night you have to get the mark back up
what did you make?
Thanks! What I thought but I wanted to make sure
I’ve got a dagger/bracers
Got lucky with my trinkets and got Skardyns Grace and Dead-eye Spyglass. But when I sim, the Shadow binding ritual knife sims waaaaay, way higher, in spite of being listed as an F-tier trinket, does it sim weird or is the debuff just that bad?
is there a "sweet" spot for haste to not feel sluggish
so is CS basically useless on Rasha'nan? It didn't seem to hit any adds.
You mean the weapon oil-thing? Bugged how?
it just stops firing at some point
i am in an h brood where it hasn't procced once, but when i initially applied it was
yea randomly itll stop going off for like 20 mins
You cant really get the ritual knife higher than 626, but ye its not an F tier trinket. It looked like it before they fixed it in simc
God damn it.
the !wax command says the bug is related to offhand but from what i can tell even mainhand wax literally just doesnt proc
most of the time
like until a few days ago that trinket didnt work in simc
!wax
Bubbling Wax is roughly on par with whetstones and are free. Some caveats:
- Right now having wax applied to your offhand does nothing. Make sure you apply wax first, then apply your whetstone
- The quickest way to farm for wax is pickpocketing the kobolds in front of darkflame cleft
- If you have no idea what any of this is, you need to start the questline with "Brax's Brass Knuckles", then walk into the inn and talk to the vent to start "Go Take Candle". Once you complete the short questline, you can pickpocket wax from the kobolds
Its just odd to me that it sims for such a drastic increase when I literally have BiS :p
How about serum, I guess we can get it at heroic level from hidden chest in delve
it was proccing for me today in a mythic dungeon and delve
I think it has to do with the bosses hit boxes being humongous or something since it drops underneath them
no it just doesnt proc
it has a huge visual effect you know when it procs
i can have it on my main hand and just be doing like dungeons and shit
and it simply isnt proccing
for full dungeons at a time
Well your trinkets are not 639
So you do not have bis
yea mine stopped proc'ing for 20 mins i had to reapply and it started working again
Oooh, I kinda figured it'd be BiS regardless haha, suppose Ill just wait till I get it in 639

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Hey i just checked, basically after you deathmark, vanish cb envenom (with 5 cp)
You'll be lucky
the cb before envenom can just put you back to 1 coin tho right
u guarantee a 2 coin with double jeopardy on the first rupture
then pre cd envenom is 50/50 keep stacks or reset
!fuu

I think they just have to be closer to boss bc my spatter did fuck all too lol noticed for some thet had spatter do like 14 mil total damage while I was sitting at 2 mil bc the adds were just not close enough

How is wax bugged ooc?
after some short amount of time, it just stops proccing
Oh lol. I wasn't aware of this bug. Just farmed out a few myself because stones expensive rn
Ya it's not guaranteed, just very high chance
stones are fucking dumb right now
i think you might need to reapply if you die
Pissed
I like how the best advice for Assassination rogues trying to solo delves is to not be an Assassination rogue.
i mean, the beast advice in general is "wait until blizz fixes them"
Assuming they fix them and balance them accross all classes, is the delve build still a thing or just use hybrid with tricks for brann ?
I mean sure but don't pretend like Assassination isn't 10x sweatier than any any other spec at the same level in solo devles
my advise from earlier still holds
they will tune delves down again, waiting might be reasonable
if u have a brann 25+ lvl its cakewalk
my brann is 28 and its still sweaty
Does this mean Vanish > Tea > garrote > deathmark?
what have u assigned him as
dps
what curios
uhh those probably suck havnt had good luck with 4/4 ones
How many swapping to outlaw after the first rankings are out I wonder lol
anyway,try amorphic+rage-filled or brute force
and watch him do 3mil dps
It’s already quieter here thank god
outlaw actually has stat weights so it's not an easy swap
Oh I noticed when I tried it out last week lol.
useing porcelain and timelost at the moment cause its 4/4 and others are 1/4
do you not press fok at all with vicious venoms or does it just not matter if you forget to use clear the witness?
same for brute force and it might kill u
damn this wildfire wick trink is baddd :c
k ill check it out
Treacherous Transmitter why is this simbait? a friend of mine doesnt understand
you gotta do a goofy ass dance to make it work
The mini game are horrid
becouse you have to do weird shit to activate it
well, we dont see 30x "what are my stats???" and "is assa gonna be meta????" anymore
the last one got replaced with "WAIT IS OUTLAW THE GO NOW???? SHOULDI PLAY OUTLAW?????"
either way ive got all 3 slots filled in gv for 616 at least heh
my mage has it alot easier and its 10 ilvls less thats true but its all about brann and dodging stuff,nothing special to it
the delve hotfix to the hotfix is coming tonight anyway
so basicly wait couple of hours
it will be better soon
think is already up at least in eu
they definetly feel much easier now then 3 hours ago
cool
i jsut woke up in the morning and let my brann do his dirty stuff
😅
Accurate lol
I mean if I play outlaw it's for solo delves😂
deep underground away from decent people is the only way outlaw should be played
is outlaw the go now?
outlaw iss the way to go out of my face and into the dumping place that is #outlaw


idk tho dawg. i get it, you're tired of seeing it but it's a community discord full of people in a new expansion
i mean, its people that chase high dmg overall bars
and refuse to actually learn and understand stuff
they are asking a question
and jump the second its not their perceived bis anymore
is that not learning
Outlaw is the highest performing raid spec in all the log pics so I imagine people changed quick
ye but that's all games, wow especially, and has been for a very long time
technically no,learning comes after that but its a start
🤓
just either answer or dont and move on. most people dont realize that just swapping specs isnt gonna do anything for them bc they dont know how to play it but let them be happy
I mean I'm just making jokes myself personally. It's not that serious to me as I'm here to have fun lol. If outlaw was actually way better I'd swap purely to help progression
I jumped from feral because feral will never be good in m+ and 1 of the rogue specs is always pretty good lol
Was that not the expectation already? Outlaw for raids and Assas for M+?
As with everything, you should wait for mythic before saying that outlaw is the way to go. All bosses in hc/normal are target dummies.
Hey guys quick question, how do you deal with tanks that doesnt let you restealth between packs ?
weirdly, I'm kinda tired of playing outlaw tho, so I swapped to assassination this patch and I love it
vanish or yell at them
vanish on cd
but fr, you have plenty of tools to still do damage, it doesn't have to tank your damage
got kicked out of a group
by understanding that restealth doessnt matter for you and that chainpulls are awesome
thats literally the opposite of basically every patch ever
outlaw on m+ is so tiring to play after 2-3 keys
If talking tothem does not help, then yeah, not much to do about it.
just manually rupture and spattermax
tbf, outlaw is almost always atleast decent
but the dps loss is absolutely monstruous
#outlaw just loves to act that its unplayable cus its then no great on the last boss and sspin that into "its unplayable in raids"
its not
@royal lantern care to elaborate ?
Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:
- Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
- Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
- Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
- While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
- You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
there
I mean caustic spatter is great for AoE for a reason. I like being able to spread bleeds easy but that spatter damage
mosst of our aoe dmg is CT and spatter

rupture is mostly just energy and agility trought scent
garrote is w/e outside of stealth
When half your damage is CT/spatter and you can rupture snipe targets as your chaining it’s really really good lmao
Depends on the key levels and how well you play. If your trying to play around the 18 - 20 level (or in previous seasons 25 - 30) you could have played Feral. At the end of the day if its fun and your good at the spec, as long as you are not playig at a Top Tier level you can get away with playing almost any spec in game.
100% there will be tuning on tuesday but i doubt assa gets anything
Anyone else read through the 20th anniversary patch notes for ptr? I feel like it looks good but I’m not great and analyzing that kinda stuff, I just see the QoL things and get excited lol
its too mid to get anything
Pins
overall good changes
1-2 sub things are a bit weird and could use a look at again
Oh man but the 20th anniversary changes are really exciting
and im personaly not a fan of the tea change, but its good
Ahh, thank you!
The slice and dice thing is probably minimal but I’m stoked about it lol
Echoing reprimand is the biggest for me
Blizzard seems to try to come up with a solution for the 'button bloat'. Let see how it works out.
Hello ! wich part did you guys craft ? with wich embellish ? I was waiting to be sure
Yea I was good at feral and pugging 20-22. It just will never be that good. It's talent tree is too dog shit. Taking 3 or 4 AoE talents guts your ST so now we're mid ST and AoE. Made it even worse in TWW. Nerfed AoE dmg, giga nerfed energy regen in aoe.

Nt a bad weapon in delve ....
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/urqux8PyUQwatpq27Qxq42 I've decided to become a coin flipper! :C
I still don't really know how fatebound works and at this point I'm too afraid to ask
Ty for that !
I’ve been trying DS lately and it’s kinda fun. Something else to play around
I dunno i just prefer not having to think when i raid 😄
I think I’m going to go fatebound when I get home today, I’ve only been playing rogue for less than a week and enjoying the hell out of it, but I feel like I’m probably missing the mark with the way I target switch and just not being as aware of where that deathstalker mark is, fatebound will probably be better for me lol
Maybe it sounds bad but like, the less i have to focus on executing my rotation correctly the better i can play ;s
Reasonable take to have
I don't even think fatebound is worse or better than DS is though
I went fatebound last night purely for progression to learn the fight
I'm playing DS in m+ but in raids i don't feel like it matters :S
DS is fine when you get used to it, but the bugs mid-raid were making it very cumbersome and probably costing me more damage than is gained by it simming ahead of FB.
I hit 80 yesterday and powered up to 590 and am doing good in my heroics, hoping delve is a little better tonight for some more gear 😬
Sometimes you can get the lucky coin in your opener and you're happy lol
Hello all, I have a question about assassination, mainly on boss fights during a dungeon scenario, i noticed for boss fights after maybe the 1 minute mark i tend to become energy starved even with the garrote/rupture tickin on the boss. By that point i believe i am also already out of tea charges as well. is this normal? is it due to the current gear we have? Do we just pool/adapt to a slow cycle at that point?
!design
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay.
- No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better.
- 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
- You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target
depends on hero talents, DS you like to go below 40% energy and with the other one you would like to pool higher. At least from what I've read.
i guess the app is correct and i probably am just busting envenom windows and probably should just let the debuff run its course with autoattacks+ pooling
Yea IDK if pandemic still works on the envenom buff, but that's generally how it works
was mostly concerned on how it would go for tyranical weeks
is envenom a debuff we also try to maintain on as many enemies as possible ?
It does
It's a buff you maintain on yourself.
Kek,no diff,but i'm used to ds more already
i get pretty overwhelmed trying to keep up rupture,garrote, and envenom
No Envenom is a buff, so once its active wherever you attack you will have envenom
oh great. thank you
Is that DS vs FB?
i was worried, felt impossible to do
yeah
Oh wow, thanks I needed that information haha
You'll get there. I find the spec pretty relaxing to play. Got a good flow to it.
Dang. DS sims 8k more for me.
depends on your stats i bet
so that must mean we want always make sure to have full envenom uptime during kingsbane i assume
Aye, for sure.
Yus.
correct more poison application bigger kingsbane at the end

if you have massive amount of crit/mastery then fatebound will prob sim higher than DS since darkest night reduces the value of crit a bit.
Yeah and FB likes crit more due to Deal Fate.
Its just what stats you have really ;s
I still don't think DS is better than FB in raids. ;s
Aye. I was just envious it was so close for Bellizar. 😄
I'm taking the theoretical hit and moving to FB just due to the temperamental nature of DN.
I feel like deathstalker is so bugged, it sometimes feels horrible to play
100%.
I don't think its as bugged as people say it is. Its just the EC interaction that feels bad.
If you just ignore it then it feels better
RC*
I mean you would get more darkest nights during CDs if ER works properly
yoo bois what items are u crafting?
is there an ideal haste % that people are sittting around? currently at 3%
!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 >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
- Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
I feel like Darkest night should be able to be consumed at 6 and 7 not just 7 CP.
While it dosen't matter much but it feels bad mutilating at 6 CP
just to get to that 7th CP
!up
And i've consumed last mark while DN was active from other pull and not reaplied/reset the cd. Happened on boss without vanish available. Almost 2 mins without hero talent
sigh
Tell me about it... Nothing infuriates me when my mark just disappears midfight. But it's also like "Did I do something wrong?"
despite the opinion on lack of breakpoints 3% haste does feel bad
yoo bois what items are u crafting?
weapon bracers
Belt and bracers w/ Dawn.
I did weapon/belt.
Depends but most likely wpn/belt
@balmy condor did you kill queen last night btw?

So i have a hjuge problem. Looking at the other rogue in my guild and looking at top parsing rogues they are getting 50% crit on thier enven9om.... while i only get 15-20% and i am not understadnding why..... i have significantly more crit than the other rogue in my guild and i get more casts as well on envenom.... anyone have any idea what i might be doing wrong?
Outlaw
All ability damage reduced by 4%.
Dispatch damage reduced by 10%.
Melee auto attack damage reduced by 8%.
The War Within Season 1 2-set bonus now grants listed abilities a 35% chance to deal 30% increased damage as Shadow (was 20% chance, 15% damage)
The War Within Season 1 4-set bonus for Between the Eyes increased to 15% damage per stack, up to 4 stacks (was 6%, 3 stacks)
whats your
hero talebnt
wut?
thats the tuning thats on wowhead
ok but why type it here
melee M+ comp incoming 
was thinkin' we'd see some nerf to CT
outlaw living rent free in yo head
what do you mean i am using death stalker
what a strange change
thats normal though
pretty normal
for hc week
they always do that i thought
dude isnt it gooood? finally trinket
thats the purpose of hc week
Yeah but its not like outlaw is SUPER duper dominant
it is
they kinda are tho
thanks god outlmao got nrfed
yea it is xd
I don't feel like it was. ;s
Outlaw is not dominating
the statistics said it was
And this is barely a nerf, its a tier set buff
buff assas nerf all classes 🙂
i mean did u look at the logs
did they nerf warrior too?
sin being primarily good in aoe right now was still barely poking its head into the top 10 pulls on the aoe fights
vs outlaw

we still going Dawnthread Lining 2x ?
how are they buffing outlaw tier and not ours lol
or what would you cradft with 2 sparks
use trink and dm and potion
I dunno, i really don't feel like outlaw was that super duper dominant. Sure it was a decent spec but it wasen't like destroying everything else.
I dont even think Ive seen an outlaw rogue in my raids
the logs unfortunately just disagree with that feeling
same but logs says opposite
Exactly
not everything else in the game but everything else on rogue
And until this change outlaw doesnt have a tier bonus
stats says its dominating
Whereas other specs do
which is still a reason to tune it down prolly
I mean... assassination gains like 2%. Outlaw gain.. 1%? 😄
Perhaps you just have a different interpretation of the word dominating
all blizz did was nerf top 5 and buff bottom 6 from warcraft logs overall
top 5 -> all nerfed
also i mean...
how much are people yapping about fury being broken rn
and noone is contesting that topic
but outlaw is RIGHT THERE
under them
barely
I mean those charts must be read in context
and it didnt need to be touched o_o
blizzard hello?
i mean
im getting scammed out of my heroic weapon 😦
and context here is that the raid gives a LOT of points to quick high cleave parsers
would say 4 of the top 5.... think enhancer is just a swap of the dmg source.
still relevant lol
Its not a big nerf
i aint smart
delete the outlow spec and 1 button fury and peace
So they actually want to use their 4p
ye idk what % their tier alr gives
bro again, you are looking at an overall chart of data that is context specific, crazy to me that people see this chart and go like 'OMG DOMINATION' when the raid profile benefit the top classes due to their damage profile, not necessarily just raw numbers
outlaw channel in shambles holy
adjustments and tuning will happen, and so far so good
fuck outlaw ❤️
i'm a bit confused.. whas the reason that assa is on the last places in raid? 😮
I just got this trinket is it good ?
its pretty pog
it does less damage than other specs
Assassination lacks single target. Its funny how assa has ALWAYS been the spec that does all the single target dps. Now we're AoE monsters but suck on ST 😄
ooooh so good
I think someone needs to paste the image again it hasnt been on my screen long enough

nerf more oooh
yeah but why? the most fights have aoe situations and in dungeons it looks so good 😮
L bozo pirates
Outlaw is unplayable on the last boss anyway
This trinket is not even upgrade even tho I have 580 trinkets wtf 😄
I mean, to be fair. If the last boss and 1 or 2 more bosses are good assassination fights, most people will just play assassination.
assa just feels better across the board this tier honestly
i feel like the nerf on the fury + arcane shouldve been more
get them out permanently
Sin is fun but i wouldn’t be surprised if sub will dunk on it with 4p
can i use auth of depths and radiant power if i run raid and m+ conentent?
no is illegal
It is nice that i don’t want a 1h sword or fist anymore
Sub has on demand burst aoe. Its way better suited for some of the encounters to pad your dps. They also deal more single target dps currently.
what enchants to use if i run both?
ur enchants are fine
Anyone able to help me with this macro? Its not using the potion.
/use 13
/use Tempered Potion
/cast Deathmark
If you put sin infront of 5 mobs that survives quite a long time then sub will be left in the dust ;s
a tragedy in two parts
because outlaw tier was so bad its incredible
you would ignore tier pieces over good stated normal items
thats how bad it was

delete outlow ❤️
Sinbros.... Not like this.....
So basically what ur saying
#showtooltip Deathmark
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Deathmark
fuck outlow ❤️
It was supposed to be out time.....
I think outlaw was THE worst set in the game.
looks like need more enh buffs

I'm a bit worried that htey keep buffing enha, they are just going to absolutly destroy everything once they get gear lmao
enhance is already just pumping lmfao
they're allowed to soar since you can't really factor in WF anymore
!poison
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
Very confident those changes to enhance are not intended to be a buff
Its just a nerf to their tier
witch doctor change is definitely a decently large nerf
the 4% is just to counter it a bit
I'm curious why they are not touching assassination. I honestly would expect them to nerf our aoe ;o
with what data
cause its mid in raid
and other specs aoes are just as crazy
idk why you think were op
m+ tuning will come when m+ is out
like the didn't nerf shadow priest last expansion aoe
and they got nerfed
cause
dog cdr
1-2% nerf for storm and 7-8% nerf for elementalist is what i read in the shaman discord
m+ tuning pepelaugh
!fuu
So ye, very much not buffs
!fu
how did someone upgrade these to 636
I haven't played enhance in years but I just kinda assume that anything reducing feral spirit uptime is kinda a big deal
I would like them to just leave us as mid so we don’t get nerfed into the ground

you can get gilded from delve map
thats just showing pvp ilvl for some reason
it scales to 636 in pvp
Probably just a tooltip issue, its not 636 in pve
its actually just normal veteran track
Ye its just in pvp
what u think after the announced outlaw nerfs? any chance that assa rises above outlaw in raid?
ah ok thanks
It’s pretty much even with their tier set buff
we were never in danger
!embellishment
outlaw in shambles
!crafting
Anyone know the spell Id for the improved garrote debuff on a target? Trying to differentiate between improved vs not in a WA
Sin supremency
what is
It doesnt have a different id

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime
Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it

@bronze pike hi :3

as per usual
im about to serve tacos
and get ready for work
glad i was here for this
so next tier 8 will be extra reward right so its good?
Yes
You'll get a 610 item next time you do a delve when you use that one.
oooo so good this is my first map
bro how can u manage every single channel
Their tier was worse than just using non-set pieces with better stats
Built different
Ty
Bro is managing pins at work and then again on his free time 
I got 3 bounties on my 3 first runs today. Holy moses i thought i would never get em
i did 10 got none
im starving for hero item to make it catalyst
Buy shoulders from ah, cost 200k
ban all oulaws
Some people are just spoonfed, I've done 24 across 2 chars and never seen
delete outlmao
im in debt with my guild 
Leave and join a new one
Where is the ER fix for DN
would rather have bugfixes than buffs tbh
if they fix Deathstalker Sin will be giga good
no one has bis trinkets and 4sets on wracraft logs yet
ofc
but neither do other classes
so fym
i would not expect any changes to er
我会进监狱
since its disappearing in like a month or two
why bug fix ER when you can just delete the skill in a month or two 
They are changing er so why fix might be the mentality
Well shit. Alright.
True
!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 >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
- Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
sin/sub will skyrocket on boss damage
not really
lmao no it won't
Sin will absolutly not sky rocket on ST lmao
sub will get optimal cd timer
Like udk
worst case scenario is having to learn dust sub when its getting deleted soon
pray it doesnt come to pass
Any idea why artistry is simming as best for me XD?
Probably because you didn’t have replace on
^

that doesn't mean replace is on
Scroll up a bit higher and check replace gems and enchants

Yeah pretty much
Cheers
Tricks is good
Might want to try tricksing brann
But the scaling atm is whack
So would just wait for a bit
it doesnt work for me 50% of the time lol
outlaw delves for the constant vanishes and evasions are the real play
like, enemys have 0% threat on me and still run me down
Tricksing brann while out of stealth fixed the issues for me
brann is a strong tank
I did 9 today solo with DPS Brann, its now easier than grp tbh
they'r working on a tuning atm
group of 5 just get one shot with every single ability 
In how many targets is better to start using envenom over crimson tempest.
Do you apply crimson tempest on ST. how
If I start a pull (aoe, let's say 10 targets). I imagine I dot garrote, rupture as most as I can. When do I apply shiv, how. And do I use the purple 7-combo point deathstalker mark ???
Ye so i heard. Lets see what will they do
well i missed all of the delves today thanks to them
Tempest is a dot, you envenom when you don’t have to maintain ct
I found success by jsut not stealthing, tricks bran out of stealth and knife throw and run away lmao
peak gameplay
any reason to save carved crests?
Even on aoe. If 20 targets and they are already dot. I envenom
hitting a mob with a ranged attack and LOSing really is the play for delves
lotta mobs dont social like you think they would
Maintaining garrote only the prio target in aoe is what we do right?
only packs with 4+ mods gave me trouble, casters like to ignore bran even if they ahve aggro and cast on me
@balmy condor yoyo, quick question for the without improved garrote opener. i always land on 4 CP after dm/shiv/kb/mut. do i need to hit another Mut for the darkest knight proc or is it okay to envenom with 4cp?
That is how Caustic Spatter works, yes. 
Yes that’s how caustic spatter works
Should never finish on 4
Note the heralds, in my experience, completely ignored brand even through vanish. I had to just stealth past these new mobs.
so it should always be double mut to get atleast 5 CP

all m+ builds I've found don't use [Lightweight Shiv] but all rotation guides keep telling me to use both charges to cover all of kingsbane
what do I do if I just have 1 shiv charge? do I send it before kingsbane still or do I shiv midway kingsbane so it covers the final ticks
Can you still swap to trickster cast one hour tricks then swap back?

Guys am I gonna use that delve map inside of delve or before delve?
so i am looking at my logs..... anyone know why I am not getting ANY death stalkers marks at all? even when i ambush from stealth?
i am so confused
it works for me when i use it in outlaw
then reroll back to sin
same as sub
before I think
i am not getting any of those and by proxy no darkest nights
you're either attacking before ambushing or your stealth bar doesn't have ambush or something to that extent
Both Wowhead and Icy Veins tell you what to do with 1 charge btw, not sure if you're looking up guides somewhere else
how does it work cause i see like 35 applications on other rogues but we can realistically only get 4 ambushes freom stealth off
@balmy condor
I’ll try it when I get out of work if they fix the tubing

yes true
darkest night reapplies
Are you tab targetting.......
Question
and
Answer
Promote me know, commuinity figure, lets go
i have zero
Stop target swapping
you open with a mutilate mate
why is that bad?
like i have to right.... i am supposed to swap and cant just cheeze
You apply your mark to your target, if you swap targets, you arent consuming marks
Swap once it dies
and reapply mark
Ok wtf, i didnt think itd be something that simple
Das crazy

thats crazy i dont know how i oipen with that
unless i wasnt stealthed for some reason
cause ambush in where my multilate is
You pressed it not me
Dude just check your stealth bar
then you wernt stealth
Just get a tracker on plater or WA
i agree
You should have one already
a death stalkers mark tracker
So you can vanish in case that happens
But also dont be swapping targets so often, funnel into a main target, and aoe off of that, to use your marks, swap once dead and reapply mark
i suggest you to use whispyr plater its pretty good
is there any merrit to using 1 auth of depths and 1 auth of radiant power?
obviously sim yoself is the default but i was just curious b/c my enchanting friends can make radiant rn but not depths
ye ye ye
with like r3 enchanting everything and 6 gems (2 sockets in each jewelery) it was like a fucking 7.5% dps increase
from enchants/improvements alone
i think karma threw me a bone. After first night of raiding and getting nothing, i did an ara-kara right after, and i got the E G G
next night, 2 more bosses down, still nothing, i go do a grim batol, i get skardyn's grace
radiant and depths are literally almost 0 difference
radiant slightky better in aoe, depths slightly better in ST
damn
take your poison
This
How do I record my own logs, lfg/pugs for example? Explain like I'm five
Those webs will summon nerubians. Don't stand in 'em! 🙂

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
idk how to feel about the tuning changes
if this improves or worsen's sin's place among the dps
not really changing much
we should enchant both mainhand and offhand right?
@feral pelican You were in your other rogues shroud xD
That’s why you probably thought you were stealthed*
thing is depending on scenario we could at best be like top 5-6 or at worst be bottom 7 perhaps?
dont waste good crests upgrading offhand if u need em still but definitely enchant it
I doubt fury won't beat us even after the bladestorm nerfs on st
in df I never felt so unable to compete on pure st as I did this week
lmao outlaw nerfs
^
Fucking map I have waist craft already.... 😦
y'all are getting maps?
I got 2 so far
guy is so mad about the OL tuning he put slowmode on in the OL channel
it was my first map 😄
You jokin
tbh if OL is ever doing that well in pure st it's a major red flag
they were crushing all fight types
which fight is this from?
its apperantly like ~ -2%
nothing gigantic
biggest thing is that the tierset is now actually worth using at all
it just kills any chance it was optimal to play OL in raid
!up
then again maybe OL was performing so well bc it wasn't set reliant
Yeah you cant crush ST, cleave and aoe, thats kinda pointless and bad design imo, everyone shoulf be better at some stuff and worse at another, if yo are ok at all sure,but BEST at all, lol
I can never find anything in the plater menu, you guys know where I can choose which debuff to show on the enemy nameplate?
idk if tuning based on pre-tier set performance is fair
I just wanna track rupture and garrote not all the poisons
Man i really do not wanna play outlaw, that spec looks and feels like shit
-3% or whatever wont make them unviable and they will also still be the best spec lol
sets arent really that big this time round tho
no flame, in full seriousness: have you played rogue long?
question, why is neck from stonevault best neck? shouldnt we use crit/mastery
ain't no way OL is going to see play in raid if it's not doing like 15-20% more dps than sub / sin
buff tracking, should be left side of the second row

ye i just forgot by "in raid" you mean like rwf
I mean HoF pretty much
i really just dont care about what the game at that level is like at all other than watching it
in amirdrassil iirc it was 3 OL rogues in hof
it's deffo playable for anyone inc hof but your guildies won't accept it
/ likely to be flamed
In what world does OL NEED to be 10-15% higher, it just needs to be better
then get in a different guild or just play outlaw
awesome thanks
thx
Better in the important fights, there's no arbitrary number it has to be better than the other two
if you are playing at that level you already long ago accepted your fate of playing whats meta instead of what you like better
and if u arent then who carez
Correct
OL even with favourable tuning typically isn't played due to uptime requirements invalidating it on several fight types in additiont o both sub and sin having favourable dmg profiles for raid
how big are 2/4 set for assi?
needing high uptime + flat dps isn't favourable at all
2%ish if i remember correctly.
Sure but accounting for the "uptime requirements", if it does more damage it is what will be played
I think most sets are between 3~5% Then you obv have the outliers that are like 10% 😄
I can provide several log aggregates of times where OL did more dps but wasn't anywhere near as much played from df
could be argued that the only people who play OL are diehards of higher skill than the other spec's playerbases bringing up the average, or that it's better tuned but worse represented
hard to judge really
Was this because accounting for "uptime requirements" it didn't actually do more DPS?
Honestly. What specs that will be played is very dependant on the end bosses.
on fyrakk for example im fairly sure OL did more overall than the other specs (post sin nerfs) but wasn't played bc wack shield dps
compared to the other two
Samething happened in DF, assassination was pumping but some of the fights were just better sub fights so everyone just swapped to Sub and everyone played sub.
Outlaw rogues are seething while we're chilling. I'm bout it.
Frost DK BoS has a very similar problem but if it's better than other specs on the last few fights, it's what's chosen, not ONLY if it's 10-15% higher
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/35#boss=2677®ion=1 2 logs, top spec on fyrakk in 10.2 xd
outlaw is kinda always good
regardless of whatever uptime cope there is
people just don't play it because Fotm exists and it has no burst
on tindral i don't think it functions if flying at all
Bro, OL channel on slowmode, still moving faster than in here xD
it's literally just min-maxing just to min-max
OL tierset was like 2% for four piece. adjusting the damage from class to tier set seems good for the health of the spec
FOTM left the chat
People don't understand the concepts behind damage profiles. They just see big sim number and assume thats the best.
just gotta do what our enh sham did and convince rl to let them never fly xd
do not say that put loud in outlaw rn
tbh it was the right decision, between enh and stuff like sub it's deffo sub should fly
i tried the whole S3 S4, never had a chance to chill on boss
wheres our tier buff 
S4 reclears were awefull timings as well, flying back to back 
Whispyr do u reckon theres gonna be more tuning on trinkets/embs?
Wait, OL tier set was not 2% it was way less than that lol I think it was like 1% or some shit.
or have they usually done everything at once
what emblishments should i get for deathstalker?
should do the same thing to survival hunter
ngl them buffing the set is a huge nerf
2 logs is a pretty small sample size, you can make the same argument about frost mage and WW in this exact example
now you actually have to compete for tier again instead of chilling in off-pieces 🙂
Never seen so many yellow names, they all on CD so they come into this channel to fight, pvp toggled on lets go
I went from 594 to 600 thanks to pvp and emb spark crafts, pretty happy boysss
tons I assume
OL sucks
they haven't tuned item effects since first pass tuning in beta
😉
im an ex-yellow just never bothered to change name
Guys guys ass is best spec let’s go ass
I do love ass
Why am I still red status after being loyal to the spec since legion
posting in guild chat, brb.
i love that the decision is ass vs ol while sub is the weird 3rd sibling that hides in the attic
dude i tried to learn sub trickster yersteday, we press blackpowder in ST what the heck is this

Miss me w that
dude sub is most boring spec ever tbh even outlmao is funnier than sub
I honestly don't mind sub. 😒

Get more haste then for cd reduction on sec tec
something like very minutes after 40s of fight
i think
havent studied the boss yet

I think its the same on mythic. The only thing that changes is that you need more goalkeepers ;o
yeah i think hc is more an outlaw boss

yeah that works
did echo get fixed? bug fix link in pinned doesnt work
howdy, are people macro'ing their tempered potions?
I just macro it to deathmark.
Not as in DS and ER interaction fixed, but ER is getting a rework for next patch (it's in PTR atm if I'm not mistaken). But nothing on live yet
I don't think it will even get fixed since they are reworking it.
Yeah same
We'll just have to live with it 😄
hm thats macro'd to my trinket
im not sure if it'll work
is it just
/use Tempered Potion ?
as long as the rework works ill be glad
i'm thinking the entire reason for the rework is to make it work 
just flip coins 
I'm a flipper of coins.
trick is to stack enough crit that fatebound sims better than DS for you 
lmao
Think I’m gonna flip coins when I finally raid Sunday. At least for raid one. Just to not have to worry about mark
guys if wax works (wich it does to me) is it worth to use over whetstone? cant sim cause raidbots doesnt have wax
really cool silken court fight with mark disappearing every intermission 😃
Everyone is so anti fatebound, i don't see anyone playing it. So i decided i'm going to play it.

fuck outlow delete this shitty spec
%10 trinket damage %11 hero talent damage on st that makes sense
you missing the 1.8% dmg from the other trinket
outlaw getting nerfed while we still wait for sin fixes 
true
nerf that shitty spec more
bubbling wax guys worth it for M+ with a whetstone in offhand or not?
is it bugged? got it x2 and it's not stacking
!dawnthread
Dawnthread has the same bug as Blue Silk Lining from Dragonflight where it fails to stack.
In order to fix it and trigger your second Dawnthread, take damage to drop under 80% health, then heal back up.

Thx ❤️
good evening whispyr!
afternoon
bubbling wax worth it or worthless mister guide maker?
!wax
Bubbling Wax is roughly on par with whetstones and are free. Some caveats:
- Right now having wax applied to your offhand does nothing. Make sure you apply wax first, then apply your whetstone
- The quickest way to farm for wax is pickpocketing the kobolds in front of darkflame cleft
- If you have no idea what any of this is, you need to start the questline with "Brax's Brass Knuckles", then walk into the inn and talk to the vent to start "Go Take Candle". Once you complete the short questline, you can pickpocket wax from the kobolds
