u would be surprised
Doing your damage properly, CCing properly, reacting with defensives properly etc is far more valuable than swapping a couple talents around
i would yes
Yeah but why not just do both
It's not one or the other
That’s why we see 3-4 different builds used at the very top of the ladder
Players stick to the build they prefer and just play it
My questions here mainly revolve around 2v2, I feel that it's so scripted
This is why I'm looking for any edge
While it may be scripted, swapping a couple talents around doesn’t provide an edge like you’re thinking
yes in that matter it doesnt
matter
when u are into rated pvp,not like shuffles that is
u need to actually know stuff to climb
hold on,gonna grab a drink and open my twitch
i cant with sound, im at work 😦
is echo still on bandit?
will that be the first 300 pull boss i wonder
they activated the fish hardmode while meeres was on break
@subtle tundra
youre saying that as if i know what it is
no?
boss is almost dead
hopefully gally wont be more than 150
i dont think anybody knows but it does something
i hate how hard this raid is -.-
mugzee
whats their best %
but you will
i cant view the stream at work 😦
splits are already fucking my head
progging hard boss after boss isnt what i want..
"our top damage taken is from the fish" 
28.3%
i bet echo got at least 100 pulls to go
have you seen p2 tho it looks kinda insane
Did somebody sim the buff from Amorphous Relic ?
pretty sure the buff was insta in sims
idk if any of the lists have been updated
but it should sim properly if you sim it
probably still bad
Okay , i will sim it later
it started simming decently for some
still a weird ass trinket tho
lmao, stix was nerfed twice in 2 hours
Maybe for sub burst it will konda good 🤔
all it took was a wowhead post that said "stix hardest 4th boss ever"
sub really prefers agi procs it can control
in a pack of say 6 enemies.. do you just rupture the same unit twice to spread ruptures in the opener? i have trouble switching to a non ruptured enemy and then back to my deathmarked target
many m+'s has been done 😄
@opaque pebble you either double cast it on your target
or use mouseover macros
manually switching is terrible
do you try and garrote everything aswell?
Not event the main target?
if it is a priority target
you use CDs on average 1x in Bosses anyway
doesnt really change much if its on pull or 1min into the fight
^
On tyrannical you might do twice
on 10s you dont, unless group is kinda bad
#puglife
yeah maybe if you send on pull and then send again when boss is on 10%
when you get cds again and the boss is at 6%, you dont send them anyway lol
When playing bleed build it even feels good for cds to come up later during a boss fight so it might even be in zoldyck range
what should our top 3 dmg abilities be in m+ ?
You running bleed build or hybrid?
Normally hybrid spatter tops out for me
uh I dont know lol. The m+ build shown in wowhead
Hybrid!
But normally spatter CT and I forget the third
For bleeds its usually garrote or sanguine blades I think
envenom
In my last key, I have 1. envenom, 2. rupture, 3. caustic spatter, 4. crimson tempest
that's bad
Well what key level was it
only key that should look like that is top
7
And dungeon?
floodgates
Yeah thats not optimal then
I should try to keep cs and ct up more?
spatter/ct, then a mix bettwen garrote/rupture/envenom, depeends on the dungeon
You guys play this in M+ 10 and above or the Hybrid one with KB?
no kb is a bit troll as you get higher
....what?
? it's lower st
and better aoe
sin is gonna be shit single target regardless
oh wait
read it wrong
saw it as "no, going kb is troll in higher keys"
my fault 
Is this actually true?
In the context of a higher key with longer pulls
not really i gues
like, the build always kinda edged out in cases where demise can grab kills faster
and higher keys = that doesnt really happen anymore
what are the best weapon enchantments for ST dmg?
It’s a murky q tbh, since we’re comparing having zoldyck and arterial vs kb and dtb
depths
i see many logs with radion power because of that i ask^^
cus the difference is not big, and radiant power is better in m+
- many probs didnt notice that depths got buffed at one point
Raid also has a ton of fights with cleave
Why are a lot of rogues loading on vers in the warcraft logs? (gems, enchants etc.) is it just survivability thing or?
Robot said so
lil +10 meadery
only done a 4 previously and now this 10 so was a bit lost to be fair
this is not that provably true yet. dropping kingsbane is not that much less ST. I think it will likely depend on the overall groups damage profiles and the dungeons difficulty points for what is 'better'
like the sentiment makes sense, but KB just kinda sucks now compared to what is was
its week 2, nobody is loadong on anything

Good job
cheers bossman


yo , in m+ and in the kingsbane sudden demise build , if i wantted to take iron wire what do i drop? master assassin?
i do, feels like shit sometimes, but if you just play pugs iron wire saves a lot of keys
but what do u drop for iron wire? spear and take ttk + iron wire?
Isma3 ya zalama
so we still use 2 set for last season? is there any point in which we switch them out?
it's litterally in the pins man
it says that 4p is better but i tought about a non set item which is much higer.
answer is when it sims higher, which will normally be when the total ilvl of your 4 pieces of tier/4 = 662 or higher
the alternative to 4pc is 2/2 which
shouldn't really be a massive issue
ok ty, you know sometimes people just want to be sure 🙂
!up
how big is the 4 piece for sin this season
Which one I should change for iron wire?
Average. It’s about normal. The 2/2 is stonks for a bit tho
Before the play was to not use sanguine blades if u wanted iw dont know in s2

if ur playing bleed build, there's no way you drop sanguine
if you're playing regular hybrid, sanguine
if you're playing bleed build, master ass
thanks
is the Embellishment ok on bracers? if i have sexy boots?
Is assassination still good for Keys or should I go sub ?
you should reroll windwalker asap
they're both fine
Are links of selfmade WA allowed here? Wanted to share a simple bleed tracker i put together for anyone in need
What about raid ?
both fine
Which 4p is better or they both give the same I’m 1 off 4p
idk i don't bother looking at it like that
assa sticks to old 2p+new 2p until decent enough ilvl 4p
unless in pure bleed build for m+ i think 4p can pull ahead, idr
sub just wants 4p asap
this early on spec and all that stuff don't matter
you can do any key with whatever rn pretty much
Thanks mate I’m super new to playing rogue this expansion

all 3 of them are made by ppl from here
just try out the specs and see which you like, and have fun 
I feel like assassinaton is more ramp no straight burst am I right ?
eh, its not as rng as people think
rtb has some rng to it, but the variation isn't as big as you'd expect
Nothing close to like shamans procing during their burst etc
True
Espically tempest build
@hollow river is there a mastery cap on assassination
There’s no real stat caps these days, barring some particular specs here n there
Like outlaw has a haste threshold now
So no dem returns
We just sim upgrades and use what the sim says
Diminishing returns do exist, but the sims take them into account

RNG
How’s peoples add damage on Bandit? I’m being called out for being the lowest, I’m just funnelling boss and cleaving adds, should I be doing something differently?
If you want add damage you play sub
me when my raid lead say to focus adds 
I don’t, I’m just asking if I’m doing the right thing for sin?
Ok cool
u do more damage to adds hitting the boss than u would hard swapping
Yeah I noticed that tbf
sin's design is to just sit on boss
Yeah those things just explode week 2
You always maintain it.
2
Fok on 3 without ct, 2 with ct
without meaning if it isn't talented?
Yes
ok thanks
so like mechagon first duo boss id use mutt to apply caustic then slam fon
Yes
Gar rup and ct on both then caustic and fan of knives
ok great thank you
I wish you would gar rup ct caustic fok me instead
in priory dungeon the soak mechanic at baron can we cloak and get all 5 orbs w/o stacks like pali?
No
Come over
do not pre-cloak, you cloak afterwards to get rid of the dot that gets applied from the soak
ok thanks
so you can do some evasion/feint and then take a few soaks and cloak off the dot depending on key level
on a 9 I took 3 and it was totally fine
!tea
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
ok well found out the hard way in a 12 was just wondering if i did it wrong or not
yeah I guess its a bit of a trial of fire to find out how many you can do
Question about vault. Not sure which of these would be better long term. I already have 4pc tier so most of this stuff is useless cause i can just farm 7s. Deciding between The myth track trinket for free upgrades in the future despite it being garbage or the neck even though its farmable
Yea that trinket is horrible, but its still myth so i might take for free upgrades... about only good choice
its either that or a socket for a myth track item
the glowtorc will be replaced with a crafted neck eventually
so yea
Yea I can also just farm it from 7s its only hero
Only contemplated it cause my old neck is 619, havent had a single one drop so far this season despite the rest of my gear being 645+
yea its up to u then
the only option that makes sense long term is a socket for a slot u wont replace
Socket
!sims
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
Yea it unfortunatley seems like it 
I'm still tilted after getting 6 trinkets and 5 of them being crap!
maxed out vault (apart from mythic raiding ones), 7/9 items were downgrades 
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
That’s not a thing
sims have been hateful for me
What does that mean
im all champ out, bis head heroic drooped and it told me not to take it
the numbers don't lie (and they spell disaster for you at sacrifice)
im just following the guide lol
Well fucking stop

Thank you
when do we get that video added to a !bis command
this is a brand new class to me so still figuring it all out. appericate the help
You get tier, trinkets, your 2 embellishments, maybe a special weapon if it exists
And the secondary stats are kinda all gravy
Like think about it, who gives a shit if you have a haste/vers helm instead of a crit/vers for example
If you think just enchant/gem for haste
Or get haste from boots
Or belt
Or wrist
Like you can swap out so many slots and get to where you’re going
And even then, there isn’t one destination
Like is a big difference between 22% haste 30% crit and 20% haste 32% crit?
Probably not
But that’s a full 10% swing in stats
You just removed thousands of points of haste
im getting this from your video right meow lmao
What about 15% concentrated power of will?
thats a video for pookies right there
gotta try this bleed build apparently too
10% luck?
100% reason to remember the name
the most important stat now is +1 luck
True
It’s pretty fun imo
You just press a bunch of bleeds and then your tank in voice goes “why did that mob just disappear”
hahahaha
And you had like an 18 mil sudden demise
thats the one without KB right?

There’s a whole section on the talent page
Or the video goes very in depth as well
Should have chapters timestamped
the hitbox of arterial precision holy
wish more effects worked like that
shiving things off my screen its so big
The infamous combination of demolish and bleeds
Are you demolish cause call me bleeds
Your fucking name is arterial Arthur but I bet you don’t know arterial precision is bugged
Fake fan

Okay and
its bugged?
I mean it works fine but it’s not an aoe around you
It’s what’s implied cause that’s how everything works
But arterial is a special lil boy
It’s an aoe around the target, which is still fine and expected
Except only for that shiv
The next shiv hit picks a target in that aoe
Which then picks a target in that aoe
Which then
It’s chain lightning
The whole thing is chain lightning
Chain shiv
It's a chain lightshiv
Shiving a target 50 yards away lets go


LONG ARMS BOYS
Ttb tech when
(idk the range of it but either way, LONG ARMS)
there's gotta be some scuffed gigalong shiv we can pull off here
Each one is 12 yards so technically if you could set up a dummy chain you could shiv something 100 yards away
Can’t wait for the vanish double shiv tech with ttb
yeah, it's huge
normally only in open world though i havent had issues in dungeons fortunately
Yeah instead of having 1 range check per cast it has 1 range check per hit
cinderbrew sometimes it pulls the yellow patrons
this is poggies my doggies
at the start
guys im gaming
Buffing it to 8 targets means it got more range technically
EVEN LONGER ARMS LETS GO
whats a good neck you guys are using? I imagine crafting one wouldnt be bad either sim wise
Pretty much any neck works
The rest of your gear just morphs around it kinda
It’s fine
this rogue is gonna do work when it gets 4set
Crafted neck is less than ideal atm probably cause you don’t have sparks
yeah
So maybe in like 6 weeks you can do that
But who cares tbh
might as well get the Glowtorc
Crafted neck isn’t that impressive really so whatever you find will be okay
thx Whispyr ❤️
Np
being a team player for my healers still
I finally got rid of it
my cloak has all the speed needs for 1 short second
bro this mugzee boss is something
thats big
i got the bomb
when boss was on 3%
ran straight into b oss
kept executing
aint nobody got time for mechanic
kill boss before boss kills you
Mythic ? 👀
na
this is just my for fun alt
just doing a few heroic bosses
im barely 650 ilvl
gear is cursed

!pooling
- Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it
- Super Min-Max stuff includes avoiding the auto proc of tea (less than +0.2%, tea/shiv macro is optimal)
- Refreshing Envenom in pandemic instead of spamming it (mostly relevant for m+ without TTK, can be up to 0.5%)
- Otherwise nothing matters. Pooling before kingsbanes isn't important because of tea lining up and deathmark giving a huge surge of energy

ST dmg in Raid on Mug boss. Envenom really that much of my dmg or am i messing something up
envenom really is that much of your damage
sin is envenom the spec
with dots attached
especially in ST
cool cool just making sure i am not messing up
you might want to play caustic over internal bleeding though
to spatter the jails
for ST ?
mugzee has adds that spawn
only boss that u dont go caustic on in the raid is Lockenstock
yup this fight has a bunch of cleave we can get for free
or next to free, since we just have to swap one talent
this raid in general tbh
also as u can see the other talent does 2,7% of your damage
Spatter usually over takes that with just about any add
'
and I think sprocket is the only pure ST fight
@balmy condor why are things on the bis list 

because it must
ngl I feel your pain
all hail bis list
Contractual obligation
people go to such lengths for margin of error simdps
but i need that 458 dps
My hot (or not) take on that is that getting gear is an external thing whereas getting good or learning fights is YOU
How trash is fatebound, i wanna be different
depends where you wanna be different
the more adds you have, the worse fatebound becomes
play fatebound on sprocketmonger
so then it's only good on two bosses lol
idk any boss you play caustic on, it seems grief to play fatebound
so that tells me that its only playable on 1
Is siphon dagger still bait on sims but never actually make?
Got the deck of cards trinket so my cooldowns are 1 1.5 and 2 minutes now to mess with my ocd
i was counting gorilla/godzilla but yeah i guess not
it sucks ass on sims too technically lmao
but yes, siphoning is just a regular dagger but worse
You just macro cards with deathmark and forget about the extra 30s
do we track our 4p at all? or our tierset at all?
this whole 4 second thing
seems weird
you can play it in a lot of ce guilds np
when sending cds, do I wanna refresh CT at the end? or just spam envenoms? and also do i just send my envenoms at 5 cp, alongside CT at 5 cps as well?
CT is just like any other bleed, you refresh in pandemic, envenom is the filler
everything is 5cp except darkest night which is of course 7
ok.
so if im in this situation I dont wanna use my cp to refresh CT? or is it kinda irellevant sending envenoms, just as loong as the buff is up?
ah okay. Thought you kinda just loaded Kingsbane with envenoms. but its just having the buff up then as it hits the final ticks? so as long as I have the buff up, im just in maintenance mode, just keeping stuff up?
you just want the envenom buff
kingsbane ramps with poison applications
envenom's buff is poison applications
the rest is whatever
How is Sin looking in raid in practice? Is boss performance passable in undermine? I haven't been able to play yet due to life circumstances.

Is Whysprs video the best place to start for current theory?
why did we receive another spark this week?
a second spark has hit the servers
i guess instead of rolling back the abusers they're giving everyone a spark
is it on a blue post somewhere?
so do we have a craft this week then?
nothing yet but im sure in a minute or two wowhead will say something
we do have another craft
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Its just a fracture, you need two. 2nd one comes next reset
1 from where? I have none
How do you get the 2nd, just still a world quest?
And I did all quests
from this normal weekly lmao
Timewalk?
then this new quest that just got hotfixed in
i think its the 100 titan discs quest that gives it but idk
i just do my weeklies weekly
Oh, could be because thats the only one I didnt do.
would that be the world quests? like "spreading the light"
hmm
or maybe that one is if its the one from faerin
idfk
i just click exclamation points man
!
i couldnt tell you names of quests or why im doing what i do
all i know is i must kill
hmmm
assassination needs single target buffs, change my mind
Are most of you just full sending your first batches of gilded crests into a 675 dagger?
yes
yes, weapon is ur highest dmg
so, there's wowhead thread on the half spark quest...what would we craft as second piece? second dagger or embelishment ?
offhand is worthless
craft embellishment on lowest ilvl slot or something
or just sim it
guess I just slam it into belt cause was wearing 636 crafted belt so far
i have bracers with socket so its between belt and cloak for me
gonna have to sim it
same, got enough for another 675 😛 i'm almost 660 ilvl lol
will only be heroic track until next week since i dont have enough gildeds
using the free runed crest instead
same
likely better off using gildeds on higher budget items anyway like myth chest/pants/helmet or trinkets
than bracer/boots/belt
yeah true
ye using free runed crest feels good while crest caps are a thing
if you already have 4set and are missing high ilvl chest/pants/helmet, can also just craft that for biggest shortterm gain (if that matters to you)
answer really just comes down to the individual
Why are guides saying craft boots? I thought craft with lowest overall stats was usually the suggested one due to ilevel loss?
playing sin in raid
its like taking a walk in the park
spec is so easy
and relaxing

there's prob marginally better statted pieces for the other slots available
do i craft the second item with hc or myth crests?
all the sims were showing cloak as the craft, i am mixing a little sin and sub, so probably cloak for me
I got very used to the look and feel of the whispyr/afenar weakaura pack during season1, but I wanna try sub - does it lack anything critical for sub? As in, its only optimized for assa and its not advised to play sub with it? I spent way too much time adjusting little things here and there to start from scratch if not necessary D:
I know, I was thinking the same but ... even my sims were telling me to cata that cloak
I use it for what little sub I play
made some personal changes to it, duplicated the darkest night aura and changed the aura to shadow dance / shadowblades cause I like how it sticks out @grizzled geyser
cape a safe choice to craft as second option?
I just dont have a deep understanding of all the little sub things yet, so I cant really say if anything "necessary" is missing when it comes to sub with that wa pack
it seems fine at first glance, but then you look at LE's pack and feel like tony stark when he talks to jarvis and his spaceship ui lol
cape is safe, neck doesn't sound bad either for a craft spot
depends on what embellishments you're using too
are you using ascendance or focusing lens
since you're playing both specs
bc cant put patch on neck but you can put lens on it
oh yeah no embellishment on neck, true true
It's helpful if you can see how many charges of dance you have while dance is active. That's missing from this.
Also if you have Nimble up via flawless form you need to be able to see, and Deathstalker's mark if you are enough of a masochist to play deathstalker sub.
There are a bunch of other bells/whistles that are nice but not necessary to have that this doesn't have but what you have covers the essentials.
anyone had darknest night bug out on pull on sprocket monger?
i had it happend twice in 3 pulls now
not in that specific situation, but dn is definitely buggy atm
some stuff i thought they fixed is happening again
yeah it tracks nimble/ds but yeah true the dance charges would be nice
It's mostly in non-opener burst windows to know if your dance is able to be pressed immediately or if you'll still ahve a short bit on cd before going into your second dance

bro i wish i had a tank to begin with playing queue simulator is 
@balmy condor got a little sim question. since when doing dslice sims, you normally do waay more dmg overall then what dslice says. I would assume that also then applies when simming gear in dslice. so would you then only look at the percentage? and not the numerical? 🙂
Dslice is designed for builds/gear comparing (builds are even sketchy) the numbers do not matter
yeah okay 🙂
Dungeonslice is turbo scuffed
but then I wonder, how can you say that a tierset benefits you a certain ammount of % in m+?
To sim builds and gear.
Because realistically its% doesn’t matter. It’s some level of gain.
If you’re envenoming less
You lose value
If you envenom more
There’s more tier stuff
How are we to simulate exact play for every dungeon route
its weird cause I do a mil more overall in dps if not more then my dslice. so yeah numbers dont match.
Unless you go full spriest
didnt know it would be that far off
Because dslice is a combination of cleave aoe and at shoved in a 5-6m sim
cant you do that with mdt? not perfectly though
For routes, probably. But dslice has never been about the raw number
so you would then say that it probably gives more value that the numbers suggest? im assuming, since the overall is also very low
any good winning strike WA?
no need to track anything so nope
4fun
dslice is a synthetic simulation that's meant to emulate dungeon situations. It's not an actual dungeon, so your actual dps will be different, yes. There is no good way to simulate dungeons because it all comes with downsides. Dungeonslice is a generic, synthetic fight which obviously has it's issues, droute is the alternative and sims and actual dungeon but does so with 0 variance, which gives you shit overfit statistics. Neither one is meant to give you an actual dps number you can look at, the same as patchwerk isn't meant to give you an actual dps number to look at for raids. Simulations are not the game, they are sterile environments that give you information about a given situation
I am not saying that.
also why do we care if it's more or less raw dps
if it's 4% of 100k or 4% of a billion
it's still 4%
dont care about the raw number
I see, I misunderstood then
all good. but it does make alot of sense that its impossible to recreate an actual dungeon.
oh and btw do we never end up replacing the cyrce's circlet?
the ideal situation is running all 8 dungeons through dungeonroute back to back, with multiple routes, and then adding variance
the issue with that is if you think dungeonslice is slow, sims of that nature would take literal weeks to run
damn, replaced it pretty quickly as sub. so just kept it on. simmed it and saw that wasnt the move
Hang on to any extra rings. Nerf so likely
soo many variables. How can you account for all that? seems like there are soo many possibilities that getting a very exact number will be impossible.
ig its still just gonna be a rough estimate after all that
youre a rough estimate
you might play a patchwerk fight sim perfect
but you are not playing a dungeon sim perfect
so even then 
i wish somebody would estimate me in a rough way
that's why we use synthetic generalized simulations as estimates
that's also why all the other class theorycrafters and randoms that show up with like +0.2% gains to the APL are cringe shitheads
cause who fucking cares
like realisitically
we're not that accurate if you're trying to compare to real world situations
especially in m+
it's just not possible to be that accurate
yeah lols
so why are we freaking out about 0.1% from a gear swap or 0.2% from an APL change
“If you don’t do 5 things worth .2 that are cringe as hell you missing out on a whole 1%”
that is also why i dont really care that much about gearing perfectly for class
yeh
I play both sub and assa. I just run alot of assa gear. since I dont sim terrible with crit mastery on sub. so far at least. still gotta get that vers. but holding rings n sstuff for that
the funny thing there is
secondarys are not really big impact anyway
the only slots where a "perfect gear" really exists is trinkets
its still a dps loss. but very minimal
but like, you can be fully decked out in the "worst stats" and its still not a big difference
and thats something that doesnt happen anyway lol
ppl go nuts about trinkets. got the 2 min priory one, mage bought it off of me for 100k
lol
tww launch, people going crazy over M0 sacbrood
paying 500k+ gold
hmm well idk about that. I wouldnt wanna be the 80% mastery outlaw lols
for a fucking m0 trinket
ewwww
I thought it was that poisoned pact or whatever it was called. the ansurek ring
time to start farming priory to sell the trinket for 500k
you know
if the servers would ever be up
is that the best trinket out there for assa btw?
would be easier
house of cards is a bit better but much harder to get
ye
priory trinket and house of cards, priory is very slightly better
I would have thought 1,5 min trinkets would be a bit weaker, but then make up for it, with more frequent uses. compared to a 2 min one
? why
you still use it as a 2 min
doesnt line up
and 1,5min stuff is weaker then 2min stuff, cus its avaible more frequently
1,5min trinkets are for specs that have 1,5min CDs
so why did you question what I said. didnt I say the exact same thing?
^
daumn
idk both trinkets are just skardyns grace
I ideally want house cause I play sub as well
true
house is significantly better for sub yeah
What do we craft?
Not a fan of chasing an orb, standing on a pedestal, or even jumping 3 times for my buff lol
So the second craft.. wowhead says feet, cloak also seems like a solid option as do the wrists. Is there a huge difference between any of these or can I just choose one
choose one
need a gif of whispyr scrolling through a hundred different sidegrades
thats even better
Hi guys, someone can help me with mi logs i don't know if i'm doing well but i fell that i'm not doing somethig well. thanks :)
https://es.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Yf7CkyZ8vPJpqmrG?fight=10&type=damage-done&source=17
opener is all sorts of weird
if you look on wowhead you can find what the opener is and how to do it
i would practice that on a dummy for a while until you get used to it
I crafted belt 675 
cant belive raid bot shows me me eye of kazn over seaforium
oof
a good trinket over another good trinket is crazy
no but for me the rate of kazn dropping cant overcome saeaforium
This is a stupid question but I can just add in wrists/boots/belt/cloak in top gear with different stats now? and I don’t have to sim droptimizer which is just one set of stats
yes
add the gear using the thing at the top
rune-branded or whatever
then hit the + icon
Yeah I thought so
and you can recraft it
No more having 4 tabs open with each set of stats
My life is over I crafted an item with switching stat for embell 
Whispyr sayed to me oof
ff



I choose you
Big fan of that emote
whats the best rotation to use? i'm currently following wowhead, and i only just started playing rogue a few days ago. i'm 628 and i'm looking to get into keys

Un moment por favor
How am I supposed to remove this neck if even the "current bis" ain't doing better
Hmm fine I'll save it for the future and run a dungeons sim to see what's the best
Stats aren’t exact. They fluctuate over time and likely you don’t need vers and crit rn. As much as you want x other stat.
So the mastery from the 626 is keeping you there.
But if you found a mastery haste neck it may sim higher because that’s what you want
can you restore energy off the bikers in mythic geargrinder vexie?
do you guys use your 2 min cooldowns on pull?
you kinda can on heroic
they'll come up again mid damage amp phase or if your guild is bad at aiming bikes


Hi, question... is it worth to use the Tea only for the mastery buff during Death's Mark in a single target boss fight from m+ ? i'm not using right now but i'm also having energy issues by the end of the fight, every long boss fight by the last 20% i'm starting to get energy hungry. Should i hold on evenom outside of my burst window and use it only at the last second to keep the envenom buff?
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
Hi whuspyr
hi nike
I think it dosent matter, your lowest ilvl spot
Whisper had a Video where he showed that there are 73 BiS Combination, so i think you either sim every spot or Just craft your lowest spot

Both help
i'm very proud of my first kill, and first attempt
be proud
thats sick
allright, with the new craft and haste/boots drop, i could actually fix my crit problem
and signet gives mastery now
no more crit memes 
Is there a known bug around Darkest Night not properly applying Deathstalker's Mark or am I crazy?
What context
Is it resetting on multiple deaths
Because if so
Yes
can't push ascension on a crafted cloak?
ive had a lot of weird behavior from darkest night this patch
i ignore it and play on
ascension goes on the weapon
writhing armor patch goes on the other piece
what's the second craft going to be?
embelishment item ofc?
always get the 2 embelishments done first, then use crafts to fill out unlucky slots

made a cloak since mine was dogshit
now i just need neck from dfc and seaforium and i can stop playing m+
lol i just meant what piece you were gonna craft with the 2nd embel on 
I was fighting a boss yesterday in the raid.. There was about 5 seconds left on my darkest night because of a weird timing on the transition and not being able to hit the boss.. When I was able to, I quickly gen'd 7 cp's and envenomed, but it didn't apply deathstalker's..
Because of this, DSM was gone until I was able to re-vanish
I'll try to find it in my logs to verify
I’ll give your Richard some reverberation
Wasn't a kill attempt, not sure hwich one it was.. Stix Bunkjunker, but I gotta find it.
hey im pugging the second boss in mythic, cauldron. use CDs on cooldown right
Reviewed my attempts and looks like I dropped it because I was refreshing rupture instead of spending my 7 on an envenom.
rip
F.
dooes siphoning stilleto count as an emb?
Hello, when darkest night is active should you actively try to apply death mark stacks on the the target or should it be a passive thing?
yes
actively
Right, so even if I have 6 combo points I should muttilate again for the 7th stack?
yes
only if ctw
What's ctw
or maybe it changed and i didnt notice

fok
but yes
Right, thanks.
Fan of knives on 6cp if you have darkest night active (this is equal in raid builds but better in m+ builds)
yup here it is
cool cool

Thanks lads, one more quesation. In M+ when the tank doesnt let you restealth, should you try to garrote/rupture the entire pack or should you just focus on one mob and rely on caustic for your damage?
bleeds before all
u dont rly have energy without bleeding them up
so,avoiding spreading bleeds results in energy starvation
no energy no party
😉
I see a lot of people just focus on one target in M+; so they spread at the initial hit from stealth and when vanish is up but otherwise don't seem to bother. Is that just... easy but less effective?
it's basically optimal
What is the minimal amount of haste you should have? i'm at 6%(2,2k) but think its too low maybe ?
!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
that was too fast
Hello guys, does anyone have a good WA to track darkest night and deathstalker ? I found one but doesnt work

Yea it aint in Luxthos i will try this one thank you
Can confirm that luxthos does track this
Are assa mastery haste now???
yes, compared to fatebound
So what is best😂
this, like wirtten everywhere 😉
i prefer the third one tho
When you get full myth 6/6 you can worry about secondaries
i think you could have stressed the point more, still unclear
Maybe all the “always” should be caps
certified "what is the best pet" moment
i think the second always needs to be capitals
I need to look at pet battles bis list
and the third needs to be a larger size and capitals
do i play crit or spec pet on gs?
No matter how often I answer this question, it's still the question I'm asked more than any other. Often I'm asked it right after answering it. I hope this answer is more complete.
oldie but goodie
this is some classic lore, love it
"Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet is a strange hidden gem amongst all of the mediocre trinkets from this patch, if only due to a bug with Lingering Darkness. Lingering Darkness does affect trinkets for some reason, unlike every similar mechanic such as Improved Shiv. Because of this, casting Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet during Lingering Darkness is a massive benefit to this trinket that dramatically improves its value. Make sure to line it up for these windows."
This is still "bugged"? So I just use a WA to track my Lingering Darkness proc and make sure to use trinket when it pops out?
yes
ty God.
i got a 624 mechanocore in vault this week cuz i only did like 6 t8 delves last week
unlucky
Does RAIDBOT "knows" this?
Cuz raidbot keep saying I should use my Quickwick Candlestick instead instead of my Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet (same ilvl)... My sec. stat distrib. is as follow:
yes
ok then... ty again.
I'm using Luxthos' weak aura pack. How would I make the icon such as Crimson Tempest have a glowing border when its not applied to any targets?
What do you guys say is the sweet spot for Mastery atm? think i overcapped with 19,3k 😮
GS 642
whatever raidbots says
i can't tell u exactly but... Crimson Tempest shouldn't be used when 1 target, so, such an Aura needs exception for single target. And when mltiple target, when talented, u should always have it up. I am using the same WA as u (luxtos) and the WA is GREY when not applied to any target, so it's almost the same as what you want. Luxtos dont like to make everything glow up.
CT does get used in ST with the bleed build but that's splitting hairs
I guess I'll just try to pay attention more, I've realised I'm letting it fall off
Does assa have alot of variance when it comes to the deathmark window?=
oh, just read tierset. ig that could be it
mugzee its kinda hard for assa no?
its fine if you can stay outside the jails and hit boss
avg outlaw player IQ
if hes positioned properly you cleave both adds
other then tierset does assa hvae any variance?
with the bleed build, what target count do you FOK over mutilate/ambush?
Is it correct to garrote twice when exiting stealth for single target for longer buffed bleed?
pretty sure its 2 unless spatter upkeep
you wait until improved garrote is about to run out
pandemic is only 33%
so you won't get full value doing it consecutively
Having trouble staying alive on final bosses of t11 delves with healer brann, what are you guys doing?
also, which curios?
not doing t11 delves
so no gilded crests?
just farm 7s
probably easier than a t11 delve with branns ai
i tried 1 with him as tank and he just held mobs in middle of ground effect and died
I just get the bosses health to zero before mine goes to zero
7's are multiple times easier than delve 11s
yeah, they made keys faceroll again
I thought 11 delves were easy as hell
besides the couple random dungeons with modern wow designer trash mobs
did anyone who exploited also get the additional spark quest that went out today lol?
they were trying to make up for the ppl who scammed cuz they couldnt roll them back easily
but just helped them more
but we got stuff too!
ah so confirmed, exploiters also got the additional spark?
i heard earlier
but maybe that was the plan and they gonna rem the extra half spark, but i doubt they doing anything clever fr
but i don't know anyone personally who did it but i believe i read on wowhead they also got one
what embellish for m+ pls mates?
11s are such a joke this season. I wouldn't be surprised if delves get re-buffed for S3, I think they overdid it.
at max gear in S1 tier 11 delves were harder than going in without a single piece of new gear this season.
Took me longer to acquire the 3 keys for the gilded than it did to run the 11’s
hey guys do u ve a pov rogue assa undermines video or something to learn?
dinosaurs!
assuming you didn't exploit, how many sparks should we be at right now, 2?
Ye, 2
Healer brann with Dino’s and the rig
Are you doing pve
I’ve been trying to catch up ye
Been a bitch and a half ngl

does the timewalking weekly give a spark?
no
could give a nice trinket
The sparks was an exploit?
ye so they added it for everyone
What even was the exploit
you could force 2nd spark this week
expolit is a bit rough, definitely possible to do by accident
yeah i think thats why they decided to deal with it the way they did
wouldve been impossible to tell who did it on purpose and who did it accidentally
I’ve been asked to shelve the daggers for this patch to fill a hunter spot. I’ll see you guys in the near future. 🫡
Please continue dooming without me
guys, a friend of mine is telling me that bloodmallet isn't trustworthy because they say in the druids discord it's not safe to use is this true? isnt bloodmallet just raidbots?
thats 1 1/2 players that sit on the bench most of the time 
that Sounds like the ussual BS you hear from boomkins, ngl
i hate them
what does that even mean, "not safe to use"
well i mean it's not like, 100% accurate unless you;re walking around wearing what their sim man is wearing so there's that unless you do their patreon thing i think (? idk i am not a patron i just sim myself raw lol)
means you better go to your doctor for a blood test you may now be sick
sounds like boomkin propaganda
but for real, as for all things to do with sims, context is important
"why does bloodmallet tell me to use house of cards AND transmitter as my best 2 trinkets? when do i use the second one?"
i like how everyone hears stupid shit from the druid discord and just knows its from the boomkins 
Bloodmallet isnt wrong, its just not entirely right. It shows a sim with only 1 trinket
So you cant just pick the 2 highest listed ones on bloodmallet because thats not necessarily the best 2 trinkets
oh jeez i also never thought of that
thats the context
But if youre looking for a non-sim way to compared say energy drink and sigil of algari concordance, then its fine
Still less accurate than simming yourself, but you know
is eye of kezan worth using in keys? got one from tw quest
gotcha, thank u bois
Worth spending 60 gildeds to recraft weapon at max for +3.5% dps?
the enchanted runed crest is pmuch useless since it requires a crest still right
does splatter actually reach this far?
yes
does it matter wher eyou stand or just where the boss is positioned?
