Yeah that’s what I thought I read

faint canopy
#

Blind Blinds the target, causing it to wander disoriented for 1 min. Damage will interrupt the effect. Limit 1.
Cooldown changed from 2 min cooldown to 1 min cooldown

sleek iron
#

I thought maybe it would work at 1 min for pve but it doesn’t

#

Dungeons etc

storm eagle
#

What are you best settings for raidbots and what are the best settings to test legendaries with?

strange python
#

might be a dumb question but if you are spec'd to blindside i'm assuming it replaces mutilate at <30% boss health correct?

leaden elk
#

what's the neck enchantment to go now ?

strange python
#

yes unless you have venom rush talented

#

what happens if you have venom rush talented?

#

you just use mutilate sub 30%, but still blindside on proc

#

oh ok cool thanks for the heads up

leaden elk
#

hmmm guysssss

strange python
#

claw or satyr

leaden elk
#

Anyone knows what neck enchantment to use ?

#

Cool, thanks ^^

azure bridge
#

satyr, sim whats better for you tho

leaden elk
#

yeah

#

claw is 50dps below

viscid pawn
#

do u like crimson tempest?

#

so i rly want to apply rupture on every mob with the crimson tempest build?

quiet ginkgo
#

Yes

carmine steppe
#

i am relatively new to rogue and bought the cloak to kinda troll with the built in version, but the tooltip damge isnt represented in using it on adds in a mythic plus despite it doign the dmg it says on training dummies in the order hall is it supposed to be scaled down in dungeons?

green belfry
#

@viscid pawn There was a discussion about it a bit further up. I asked the question for you since I saw your PM and wasnt 100% sure myself.

#

But a rule of thumb was: ~4 enemies. Garrote them all, put 1 CT on them and then put rupture up. If more than 4 enemies it feels like FoK and CT spam could be better. You still garrote as many as you can tho.

viscid pawn
#

okay, thank u 😃

fresh abyss
#

yo guys

viscid pawn
#

pretty hard to keep all this stuff up

fresh abyss
#

lvl 48 rn, which warmode talents should i go for?

green belfry
#

Juggling all the dots 😉

#

@lone junco Small sample size but the best I could do to compare Vig/DS CT vs MFD CT bracers was a +12 EoA. Vig/DS = 4.7k overall DPS; MFD CT = 4.3k overall DPS

sterile marten
#

are both rings gonna be best for leveling or will we use the shoulders

#

for assassination

remote wing
#

shoulders and belt is what im using for lvling will 2 shot most things

sage fox
#

Question. Does the Talent Master Poisoner affect Leeching poison?
(Master Poisoner) increases your poisons' damage by 30% and their non-damaging effects by 20%

(Leeching Poison) improves your Deadly Poison and Wound Poison, causing them to also grant 10% leech to your damage.

Anyone know what the haste cap is?

eternal bluff
#

is gorshalach still not good for us? I can't find any info on that trinket

green belfry
#

~27% is nice to have but have to sim yourself to make sure what your stat weights are.

lone junco
#

@green belfry bitter the pull the better

#

bigger

green belfry
#

Yeah. It was strange cuz i hid my dmg meter and I swear I felt like MFD combo would have been way higher dps 😄

#

But statistically speaking my comparison is nonsense 😄

eternal bluff
#

I am torn on mythic argus now. Haste/vers or crit/mastery

strange python
#

haste vers without question

plain thistle
#

crit/mastery for me

#

because versa is da poop

silk sundial
#

So I have mained Sin for quite a while now and I was going to try giving Outlaw a try, according to sims though it does 500 dps lower on single target and almost 2k lower on aoe. I haven't really played it much yet so I don't know the practical difference. Is that fairly accurate?

#

Can I also get a sin role assigned?

eternal bluff
silk sundial
#

Lack of role, like me 😃

terse pawn
#

just get a role in #bot-spam

silk sundial
#

Thanks

#

Maybe its just bad stats but Outlaw should have higher single target dps according to the pin. I'll toy around with it a bit

onyx raft
#

What are our opener for 8.0 single target? Since we dont have kingsbane and subterfuge is played alot

civic palm
supple hearth
#

It's not so much a lack of a role as it is lack of checking pins like you're supposed to.

Working as intended tbh

thorny jasper
#

question that im sure is pinned somewhere
is there any reason to envenom as elaborate planning is falling off for extra dmg or do i just go for max envenom uptime

strange python
#

you aim to clip envenom in elaborate planning

#

so yes elaborate planning does take priority

#

but if you go for elaborate planning clipping over and over you will run out of steam so you have to be aware that sometimes you should fall back to the envenom buff for a cycle or two

onyx dew
#

Are there any rotational changes for Master Poisoner?

strange python
#

that was terrible grammar but you undermeant what I stood

#

no not really @onyx dew

thorny jasper
#

thats what i thought but wasnt sure

Alright, @sand olive has been warned because '** don't troll**'.

lone junco
#

not gonna lie, shoulder alignment with vendetta is pretty smooth.

#

made for a nice Kingoroth.

#

well, and anything else.

trail hound
#

smooth as eggs

lone junco
#

I really need to fix my wa. default unit frames have debuffs now, but timing the pandemics is hard from the itty bitty debuff bar on the target.

#

off to a good start.

#

lol

final river
#

nice dps

lone junco
#

was guild raid on garothi. i expected them to be higher. I was floating at like 6-7k for a while

final river
#

that was nice

supple mesa
#

Do you guys think vanish and garroting boss/2x tanky adds on high command 2nd boss is a dps increase?

#

If not running shoulders that is

torn junco
#

Does using arcane torrent for dps feel bad for anyone else since its on the gcd

copper sinew
#

No, since I’m using it at low energy

#

Better than not doing anything

neat umbra
#

no bc i race changed to a troll for superior deeps cd

#

and bc i was sick of belf

strange python
#

bought shoulders and got insignia in one day fucking pogchamp

civic palm
#

👌

neat umbra
#

nice nice

storm eagle
#

So whats the best legendary set up now?

dire spoke
sleek iron
#

Dunno why but my sephuz is better than my insignia even though everyone says to use insignia

strange python
#

a year too late tho LUL

#

yea it really depends

sleek iron
#

The simbot doesn’t include proc of sephuz yeah

#

But include proc of insignia

dire spoke
#

which means if sephuz is good for you, it's even better when you can proc it

sleek iron
#

Right that’s what im thinking

storm eagle
#

Whats that best sim settings?

dire spoke
#

#

Has anyone a good assa wa?

dire spoke
#

that link should be in resources or pins

#

on the other side ... nobody reads that

#

nevermind

tropic mango
#

Well i did it first)

flat cove
#

I found wa on wago but it dosnt works or they are shit

dire spoke
#

they may be outdated or written in spells of another language than your client instead of IDs

tropic mango
#

@flat cove wait a couple of days Nurseous from Exorsus gonna do it soon enough

flat cove
#

Ok

civic palm
#

Mine work.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

totally not a plug

tropic mango
#

Can i miss a 5-10 ilvl from items to take that awesome haste boost on my twink assa?

dire spoke
tropic mango
#

Just left from PC a couple minutes ago xD

prime stirrup
#

Is there a point we dont want crit after? Im sitting at 46% right now

shrewd night
#

Sim yourself to find out

prime stirrup
#

its shown in pawn strings that haste is better for me for awhile now. but is there a drop off point that we know of for crit yet?

#

obviously koffing.. im wondering if there is a soft cap at somepoint

solid nova
#

There are no soft caps, the point at which one stat over takes another in terms of priority is dependant on the percentages of your other stats.

shrewd night
#

Sim the crit chart, if you see other stats overtaking it in the chart, grats you found it?

copper sinew
#

Yes, it’s called stat weights

solid nova
#

Up to date stat weight sims are the only way for you to individually know when haste will drop off in favour of another stat.

prime stirrup
#

yes, and i keep them that way

solid nova
#

Then you're doing the right thing

#

Do you guys think it will be worth it to go for dreadlords deceit and mantle of the master assassin while lvling towards 116 or is it worth way more to get the trait shoulders from BFA? :)
I've just heard the crit FoK is insane while lvling

civic palm
#

After the change to Hidden Blades + Deardlords I am not even sure how much damage is being done anymore while leveling.

dire spoke
#

god damn

#

my agi is at 3.0 and I don't have higher ilvl gear

junior gorge
#

change to hidden blades? haven't followed too much up on outlaw

dire spoke
#

you're in assassination right now

civic palm
#

Yeah my AGI has started to be king =\

#

Hidden Blades and Dreadlords used to stack multiplicatively (meaning they were multiplied together normally) which lead to a monstrous damage increase. They now stack additively which amounts to like, 1/4 of the previous damage.

wet dagger
#

You guys running Old war or prolonged?

civic palm
#

Whatever SIMs the best, Old War winning at the moment IIRC.

junior gorge
#

@dire spoke I know, MiZeroks comment just confused me forgot they made a talent called hidden blades, i was thinking of the outlaw skill before bfa prepatch 😛 which made it make no sense to me 😃

#

makes sense now, i have no idea if hidden blades stack with dreadlords deceit

odd tundra
#

It either does or I got trolled when I read it does somewhere

junior gorge
#

guess i will have to test it out

#

would assume hidden blades and dreadlords deceit plus the stealth crit thing would be super OP while lvling

#

or max stack oneshot other groups in pvp 😛

from wowhead journal for M+ rankings:

"Any Rogue Spec - Last time I did these rankings, I listed Outlaw as my choice for rogue specs. Since then I have had the privilege of running dungeons with all three rogue specs and now realize that it wasn't just Outlaw -- all three of the specs are amazing. Subtlety is great for erasing Infested mobs; Assassination has top notch single target damage and an AoE slow that can be spammed; Outlaw is still doing great AoE damage. Combine stellar damage with rogue utility and you've got yourself a winner. This class came out of the tuning pass this week mostly unscathed, so it's an easy top choice."

Thats sound really nice for now

tranquil silo
#

So what he’s saying is we’re getting nerfed

shrewd night
#

Emphasis: >>>>>>this week<<<<<

next bay
#

"we've found a strong correlation between rogue's high damage, and their ability to use weapons. We have removed their ability to use weapons, and are eager to hear your feedback on the change!"

strange python
#

^

hardy bluff
#

Fine apparently, as long as we have an aoe slow

tranquil silo
#

Damage from CT removed and changed to 40% more slow

royal lantern
#

nah, we talk about blizzard, they would nerf it that way: Fan of Knives/shuriken storm now always generate only 1 combo point, we want rogues too focus on single target dmg

strange python
#

oh god just tried simming sub and outlaw gear compared to sin its a tragedy 😦 6,350 as sin v 5,6 5,7 sub / outlaw i want to try sth else D:

lofty junco
#

or something like "we removed poisons from rogues"

oblique comet
#

better = "We removed Rogues from WoW" 😄

lofty junco
#

blasphemy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zealous lily
#

make frivolous copyright complaints on the videos to prevent nerfs from happening 🤔

lofty junco
#

Rogue is love Rogue is live Rogue rules!

bright mulch
#

So... which is the best talents options to assa PvP?

jaunty arrow
#

I use 123321

unique ice
#

Is Pawn incorrect about the Darkshore WQ weapons being an upgrade over the Kingslayers? I assume it's counting the Kingslayer as one item or something, and assuming you'll equip the Darkshore weapon in an empty slot.

zealous lily
#

if your weapons are below 210 sure.

#

otherwise no.

unique ice
#

ok, i assumed so

#

I know the Kingslayers counted as a single weapon previously so I assume Pawn just thinks you have a second empty weapon slot.

warm parcel
#

Does your pawn include wdps?

#

Also raidbots handles weapons

oblique pendant
#

what ilvl are those darkshore weapons?

#

im wondering if they're better than mine

shrewd night
#

If you have NH level relics in your weapons, then yes they are likely better than the artifact.

oblique pendant
#

so they are crap for me

solid nova
#

They are 190 base ilvl but can WF/TF iirc.

oblique pendant
#

mine kingslayer's are 234

#

so i dont think so if i'll be that lucky 😄

solid nova
#

And as you don't receive 2 to compensate for MH/OH its doubtful yes.

elder crystal
#

pawn with its stat weights tried to tell me the 190 dagger was a 44% upgrade to my 226 kingslayers so something was funky there

oblique pendant
#

have u recently updated ur stat weights?

#

cuz raidbots stat weights now include weapon dps

elder crystal
#

updated a day before the darkshore dropped and an hour ago, so I guess that’s where it went weird since I hadn’t updated recently enough

shrewd night
#

Artifacts are treated as one weapon, thus you need to sim with two weapons to make sure you are getting the right reading, instead of switching out one by one.

rough yarrow
#

have they done something to poison bomb spell? my weak aura doesnt work. downloaded 5 weak auras from wago non works? any ideas?

shrewd night
#

Make sure you are downloading BFA weakauras.

rough yarrow
#

even those 5 days earlier dont work

strange python
#

well it's a talent and not an artifact trait anymore

#

weakaura may be trying to track "bag of tricks"

rough yarrow
#

anyone has any link with working one?

strange python
#

which... doesn't exist

rough yarrow
#

its checked as talent

#

tried to modify it as far my knwledge of wa goes and still nothing

#

yours working?

strange python
#

I don't use one because poison bomb is completely out of my control, does not change my rotation, and does very little dmg

#

so if I did it would just be screen clutter 🤷

wide delta
#

the id of the spell changed

#

u gotta replace it with the new ID

#

@rough yarrow try this wa here

#

and find out the ID of PB

#

and replace it into ur old PB WA

#

and it will work

weak isle
#

thas me 😮

hoary copper
#

The PB WA is annoying more than helpful

shrewd night
#

If someone in my group is using that, Im taking the mobs right out of it btw.

#

Never standing still ever again.

fresh lodge
#

so what do you guys think the best talents are

shrewd night
#

Whatever sims best.

hoary copper
lofty junco
#

what i hate the most in m+ tanks, like druid with typhoon that kicks mobs away or out of PB and tanks that take mobs out of PB....

shrewd night
#

Dont use the WA to piss of your tanks then.

wide delta
#

just deactivate the spam

#

and use it only to check how many proccs u had

lofty junco
#

i had not alked agbout any WA^^

#

*talked about

hoary copper
#

You can just use details to see the damage from it and figure it out

wide delta
#

why bother clickin around in a dungeon when U can see the stats on ur chat window?

hoary copper
#

Because it doesnt matter?

lofty junco
#

why to do that in a dungeon thats nbot finished?

hoary copper
#

In the end nothing comes of more or less pb procs

wide delta
#

because it doesnt matter for u maybe

#

why would u care anyways

lofty junco
#

ya ahve enough time to look at it after the dungeon in details

hoary copper
#

it doesnt change anything about play style or anything

wide delta
#

it doesnt but still fun to track

#

why does it bother you if people ask about the WA?

hoary copper
#

Because the WA is annoying when it goes off

wide delta
#

not if u deactivate the spamming in the WA

hoary copper
#

which .01% of people do

lofty junco
#

but for what ya need that WA? it doesn't matter if ya know which time is PB active cause ya can't do anything for it

lavish fjord
#

What talents are ppl using for PVP/PVE atm? - Srry, messing around on my rogue that i havent touched in a while

strange python
#

check the pinned resources for pve

lofty junco
#

check pins

lavish fjord
#

Thx, anything for pvp here or ravenholdt site?

wide delta
#

@lofty junco ofc you cant do anything for it but it still cool to check if ur lucky or not

lofty junco
#

@wide delta just check it after fight/dungeon/m+/raid in ya deatails

wide delta
#

why would I LOL

lofty junco
#

*details

strange python
#

For pvp, #pvp might have something I'd say system shock, creeping venom, flying daggers are good, maybe deadly brew instead of flying daggers for when there are less than 3 targets

wide delta
#

i wanna check it after each boss

#

therefore the WA without chat spam

#

so it tells me the exact % of proccs I had

#

its interesting for me and no need for u to judge wether Its useless or not

lofty junco
#

i just can't get my head around it why is that important...its do nothing to help and PB isn't that important in prepatch how it was before Prepatch

shrewd night
#

Y'all are discussing some dumb shit. If it doesn't impact me I dont give a shit what others are doing with wa s or add-ons.

late dawn
#

what neck enchant for assassination?

wide delta
#

thanks @shrewd night

strange python
#

bis leggys for assass?

TBH i wasn't the person that started the discussion

That's a quick way to being muted or banned xiansho

lofty junco

just writen some of my thoughts

#

btw i had heard from a clickable WA for poison. had until now used Slice and dice button for that. is that really possible?

prime stirrup
#

there is a clickable poison, even supports right click for crippling. So im sure SnD could be set up similar

lofty junco
#

have ya a link or name?

If you have a frost Mage, that was probably okay, if you don't have a frost Mage you probably want to use assassination.

hoary copper

Could be.

strange python
#

I actually decided to sim master poisoner instead of assuming EP was better

#

and what do you know mp was higher...

lone junco
#

My MP was about even, but EP is >> in 2T

strange python
#

guess 'cause I still have a fair amount of mastery

lone junco
#

but I nailed my sim st last night.

#

sim 5400 actual 5381

strange python
#

was it a 5 minute fight?

lone junco
#

nah. but garothi has an intermission as well

#

damage profile was interesting

strange python
#

intermission is kind of awkward

#

if you have insignia do you mut and try to hit them both

#

or just fok fok fok

lone junco
#

pB was such a small proc

#

in that graph it is the blue

#

my uptimes were trash cause my wa is busted and it makes me bad

strange python
#

a sooner lust might have put you over 5400

#

oh yeah my weakauras are all wonky

lofty junco
#

i think MP>EP in fights with intermission or when ya can't have a 100% uptime on boss

oblique pendant
#

isn't exginate better than TB with current bleeds dmg?

lone junco
#

exang is 1000 dps drop for me

#

in my best exang gear

#

so Im not going to bother

#

Shoulder/Vendetta alignment was nice. == 2min

strange python
#

exsang was good when vendetta had a 45s cd

lone junco
#

exsang was good when Bota and Conc aligned with a vanish NS Rupture Exang

We will have to wait and see

lofty junco
#

my Crystall ball said: We will rule the complete addon!

lone junco
#

45 sec exang 2min vendetta 2min vanish.

#

@warm parcel is there an APL with exang held to 1min intervals? The desync is pretty shitty.

#

that vanish rupture exang without vendetta is no Bueno

warm parcel
#

I havent touched es

#

exs

lone junco
#

it would be a loss at the 3-4min mark if you delay each exang 15 sec.

#

but its got to be better than this.

vestal wren
#

vanish-rupture-exang

#

does not sound wrong

lone junco
#

the vendetta overlap is probably necessary

#

when you exang at 45, then hold vendetta for 1:30. then you dont have vendetta for the vanish exang at 215

#

since vanish and vendetta are both 2min. Id just like to see exang at the 1 min intervals

empty elbow
#

@vestal wren he’s talking about delaying so that every other exsang is wth vendetta though

vestal wren
#

ye i see

lone junco
#

more like every other is Vendetta Vanish Rupture Exang

empty elbow
#

Well yeah

#

The setup would be the same

lone junco
#

shoulder alignment is really good now with the fixed vendetta time.

#

anyway.

it's like they should make exsang 1min cd 🤔

might not be enough

oh right

#

it can still be stacked tho

#

and damage is reletivly good

hoary copper
#

It was multiplicative now its additive

strange python
#

i see

tough lantern
#

CT is better than fok atm

terse pawn
#

does it stack enough to damage to use as a burst opener over mut?

strange python
#

it gets like 22k without crit

terse pawn
#

that's pretty decent i guess, but not sure if it's worth losing pbomb or ct over

#

they said pbomb is less rng but it still feels pretty rng to me

strange python
#

it 100% is

#

why was my named changed

tough lantern
#

this is a christian channel

strange python
#

but my name preaches a (old) christian teaching

ew

amber arrow
#

does crimson tempest work the same as it did in wod where casting another one with the dot up will just add to the dot?

stark heart
#

No

amber arrow
#

lone junco
#

@vestal wren rupture exang vanish mut woops

stark heart
#

Why is there 3rd rupture prior to exsang?

vestal wren
#

refresh condition

lone junco
#

rupture is always prior to exang

stark heart
#

Yeah but 3rd on pull

lone junco
#

I dont know how you would structure the mid block exang tbh. conditional for Vendetta vanish rupture exang seems easy enough, but the one at 55 sec isnt

crimson terrace
#

In the ravenholdt guide it says to maintain rupture and garrote on all targets. In mythics, how many mobs is it worth putting all those dots on? New to rogue

lone junco
#

@crimson terrace prob about 3x.

#

after that you roll into Fok CT spam

tough lantern
#

what lvl30 talent for that sim?

wraith hatch
#

Leveling another rogue whats the go-to spec for lvling atm?

vestal wren
#

idk i think that would make sense

lone junco
#

im ok with the refresh for max pandemic. just dont want any vendetta or vanish cast without exang.

vestal wren
#

✅ rupture refresh (pandemic)
✅ garrote subterfuge buffed (pandemic)
✅ vendetta up
-> exang

mellow crest
#

🙌

vestal wren
#

still a loss tho

crimson terrace
#

@lone junco ok just making sure cause the older guide mentioned to only garrote if T20, but that’s outdated ofc

lone junco
#

just dont lose the 2nd exang in the process. there is no vendetta isnt ready yet

#

can you post an html ?

vestal wren
#

sure

#

i did not change anything there outside of the diffrent exang use in the opener

lone junco
#

@crimson terrace for larger pulls, current M+ is typ subterfuge garrote garrote (3rd is up to you) then 1 -2 rupture max, then fok ct spam.

#

its still desync

#

its still wonky

#

the subterfuge exang could probably be better than the NS rupture. but the time staggers are awkward.

#

I can just run an LFR and do it manually and log it.

#

those damn fights last forever

misty quarry
#

hi , i have 44 crit , 22% hast, 34 maitrise , 11 poly . do we have a cap hast or crit cap in assassination now ?

wise frigate
lone junco
#

need to run your stat weights. it may want you to have a bit more haste

misty quarry
#

i have sim with my actually stuff cause before the patch i was full maitrise and poly , and i want to know witch stat i must priorize for my future stuff

wise frigate
#

That's what the sims are for. They tell you what stats give you the most value.

hoary copper
#

Sim

#

YO

#

Self

lone junco
#

@misty quarry stats changed due to haste modifying bleed tick rates. Old gear may be trash or not. sims help

hoary copper
#

We can't tell you what stat to prioritize because its for your specific character. The best way is to run sims

misty quarry
#

sim stat weight ?

hoary copper
#

Yes

lone junco
hoary copper
misty quarry
#

okay

#

thx

lone junco
#

or you can just guess.

#

but we all sim our shit.

patent tide
#

Raidbots or Pawn ?

lone junco
#

both

hoary copper
#

Same thing

#

Raidbots is online and easier

misty quarry
#

37/26/32 and max poly ?

lone junco
#

you take the weights from Raibots and put it into pawn.

hoary copper
lone junco
#

pawn doesnt account for set bonuses or trinkets.

hoary copper
lone junco
#

or effects like melandrus

patent tide
#

so i dont need Simulationcraft ?

lone junco
#

the simulation craft addon is best.

#

copy your string. and paste into the raidbots import box

#

but no, you dont need the full simc nightly exe

patent tide
#

so need /simcraft, raidbot online version, and Pawn ?

hoary copper
#

The guide I posted will tell you all on how to do it

#

Read, absorb, do

patent tide
#

i'm gonna read this 😄

lone junco
#

tbh, this is why I cant go back to a healer.

they use Excel

Haste is over crit.

#

is over agi

hoary copper
#

Its hard to figure out upgrades. Most the prepatch healers arent even updating their spreadsheet

misty quarry
#

hast 😮

lone junco
#

means your ilvl is fine. but swap out mastery for haste

#

just swap a ring/neck or ring ring. then run it again

hoary copper
#

I tried to figure out a way to get the stats from Armory to excel but I had issues trying to find the APL to do so

lone junco
#

its only for the next few stat points so it is not a FOREVER weight

hoary copper
#

Excel allows for it to happen

#

There would still be manual stuff like set bonuses (tho not for long)

lone junco
#

the excel pages are great, but holy shit why is there not a generic fight model for heals in simc

misty quarry
#

y i understand it

hoary copper
#

Discipline has an addon for sims, CantSim

#

Yea healing is weird for sim for heal potential too because I mean really heals can be limited by damage at least effective healing so you may never see near that much healing

lone junco
#

but all that is accounted for in the spreadsheet aka fight models.

#

im just not doing that gear update in a spreadsheet.

#

thanks but nah.

hoary copper
#

yea. Im glad I found the disc priest one.

#

Owner just needs to expand it to other classes

alpine rain
#

225 Seeping Scourgewing simming better than 245 Eye of Command ? is this correct?

lone junco
#

prob yes

#

there are trinket lists and eoc tanked

#

Scourgewing probably scales well with haste. and since we have more than 0, it took off.

alpine rain
#

Mmm that makes sense thanks for the speedy reply ❤

hoary copper
#

simself to be sure

alpine rain
#

I did sim myself that's exactly why i asked...

hoary copper
#

I missed that part, but sims are usually right. Trust in the sim

narrow turret
#

Anyone here use Ipse's Weak Aura's and do you happen to have an update to the string for 8.0.1? Really enjoy the HUD but not skilled enough to rework it.

hoary copper
#

Pretty sure you delete it and reupload the new one

narrow turret
#

Yeah odd, reloaded it and still getting a conflict, could still be an issue with other addons.

#

old war or prolonged pure ST?

Both are close

Old war is a little ahead

lone junco
#

@alpine rain its good to ask. I trust sims but also my intuition. occasionally the fight style or sim theory doesnt match ingame play . aka belt sim values.

hoary copper
#

Question nothing! 😄

lone junco

my new top dps sim is bracer belt. not mad

@wet owl when you run your stat weights, it will be the highest stat.

wet owl

okay perfect thank you!

slate tulip
#

is there any way to proc sephuz as rogue on boss liek aggramar/argus ?

hoary copper
#

Agg you prob can on adds

slate tulip
#

adds are too far 😦

wise frigate
#

You can stun the adds on Agg, Argus you can interrupt the split phase.

#

Other than that nah.

slate tulip
#

k thx

wise frigate
#

Well split + the wipe after rez thing.

hoary copper
#

considering it says you need to use CC, if it cant be CCed then you cant proc effect

wise frigate
#

^ CC/interrupts.

hoary copper
#

er yea forgot interrupts

wise frigate
#

Or dispells. Not sure if that matters for rogues. Wonder if the purge on BElf now works for that.

hoary copper
#

Playing belf in 2K18 memes

wise frigate
#

Too poor for race change back to glorious orc.

hoary copper
#

Did the old one proc it?

#

or tauren stomp

wise frigate
#

Yeah cause it was an interrupt.

#

I just more dunno if purges count as dispells though in this case.

#

Then again not much to purge in raid. Other than on like trash or something.

hoary copper
#

Maybe its like cloak? if cloak does maybe that does?

#

idk without playing it, but I dun wanna

#

Unless you want to pay for my faction change to and from 😄

inland cape
#

I'm newish to rogue, just came back. I read the guides here, and on wowhead.. just curious why shoulders are almost always used? Is it to just get more burst up front?

lone junco
#

with the opener you get 8 sec of 100% crit.

#

its a big deal especially with restealth between packs in M+

hoary copper
#

Shoulders arent 100% though

#

Our leggos are somewhat close, its whatever sims best

lone junco
inland cape
#

thank you for the reply

#

I shall sim

strange python
#

8 seconds..?

#

you mean 10

lone junco
#

the tick rate during lust is absurd

#

looks like i got buff for 5.2s

hybrid crystal
#

what reason is there to mainly do 4-5 point finishers as assassination? is it just poison bomb procs, or am i missing something else?

lone junco
#

goal is uptime of dots and buffs.

#

a 3cp rupture doesnt really hurt, but critting a mut is 4. not critting is 2. so we have a lot of combos to get 4 or 5

hybrid crystal
#

just wondering coz if we're using Elaborate Planning, we could be getting higher uptime by using smaller finishers

lone junco
#

(tbh, i havent simmed prepatch for the 3cp rupture

wet owl
#

Poison Bomb or Crimson Tempest for mythic plus?

lone junco
#

CT

wet owl
#

deal

hybrid crystal
#

so i'm wondering if i missed something out in that thinking

lone junco
#

if you use EP

wet owl
#

EP?

lone junco
#

you can sim a sort of M+ with 8 mobs 20 sec or 4 mobs 40 sec

strange python
#

ep is already at ~90% uptime

#

Practically 100% on more than one target

#

if you feel like you are struggling to maintain ep try simming master poisoner

hybrid crystal
#

hmm okk will do haha. i'm definitely not near 90% uptime 😄

lone junco
#

EP is a function of crit

#

if you have like 22% youre gonna hurt

wet owl
#

im at 26% crit so is EP Elaborate Planning I assume?

strange python
#

yeah I got 44% crit and 25% haste. mp is still higher for me.

#

although my stats are just fine for ep

#

yes Stevy its elaborate planning

wet owl
#

Thanks xD im noob lmao

brisk forge
#

26%crit is low for EP imo

strange python
#

we were all noobs once

inland cape
#

Is subterfuge a must?

strange python
#

some of us are Noobes

wet owl
#

haha Ive ONLY healed for so long so this is all new lmao

strange python
#

subterfuge is generally better than the others but you might sim higher with nightstalker if you have the shoulders

hoary copper
#

simself is the real answer for talents tho

#

NS and sub had 0% difference for me

#

Using Sephuz/Wrist

lone junco
#

@inland cape for me, NS and Sub are actually 0 dps different.

#

and im using shoulder/bracer

inland cape
#

Oh, nice. I will sim it.

lone junco
#

EP/Sub/Vig/Tb/Pb

strange python
#

hmm I use sephuz wrist, maybe I should sim NS 😄

lone junco
#

meh.

#

I like subterfuge.

misty quarry
#

when i sim he say to me sephuz/ ravenholt lol

strange python
#

it lets me flight whistle in stealth

shy orbit
#

shoulders and bracer does highest sims for me

strange python
#

there are a lot of close legendary combos

hoary copper
#

I dont have insignia otherwise I would try that, but I have wrist/boots/helm/shoulders/sephuz and GA

#

Dont think the difference was huge

brisk forge
#

Insignia/wrists Sims highest for me, but there is some other combos that are close

#

So i Guess w/e xD

strange python
#

I even had vigor ring + mfd sim close

hoary copper
#

Thats why we are always saying simself

#

Not everyone fits in the same shoebox

misty quarry
#

with 24% haste , vendetta boots isnt a good choice for more vendetta ?

wide delta
#

is there a wa to see how many mobs are in range? I used to have that for sub rogue sstorm but cant find it anymore

lone junco
#

vendetta boots just makes it so that your vanish doesnt align.

#

so if the sim says it sucks, it probably does.

misty quarry
#

i will try it tonight in mm

#

sim and reality are little different

There isnt really a bleed build or poison anymore

strange python
#

when below 30% do you just straight up stop using mutilate and only use blindside?

hoary copper

I'd be surprised if Blindside was better than EP

#

Thats a different discussion tho

im pretty bummed about VR talent. flat reduction of mut seems pretty lame.

i liked Poison on bleed.

Is that an old azerite trait that got tossed?

So just the Passive 2%?

yeah

well the full crit haste

also anytime you can interrupt is amazing

like mini lust

Also @round harbor you arent using seeping scourgewing trinket so much harder to get a higher parse.

Could someone tell me to what extent the off-hand weapon matters for rogues? I got a good dagger from the world quest and I'm using a ilvl 80 dagger with 3 sockets and dancing steel.

For leveling, not much. You just need daggers for mutilate as Assn.

lone junco

@round harbor at me your log

I guess I'm wondering about something more specific. I understand why the we need daggers but I'm curious as to how much it contributes to damage... or anything for that matter.

Yeah I fuck up my vanish combos alot it seems

hoary copper
strange python
#

I see

#

you have a fuck load of mastery.

hoary copper
#

how much is a fuck load?

round harbor
#

Yeah this was my alt so I just stacked mastery from before

strange python
#

over 400.

round harbor
#

And I deleted all my haste gear from my bank a few months ago

#

Unlucky

#

you can try to item restore. it goes back 90 days.

round harbor

Already tried, it's gone lol

strange python
#

F

round harbor
#

Cause I know for fact I had a 960 scourewing

hoary copper
#

I used to sim high for ilvl, now its low QQ

strange python
#

need to be aware of tb cooldown so you dont have to refresh your bleeds during it

#

like here, delaying tb for a few seconds beats refreshing bleeds during it and not having any envenoms during it

round harbor
#

so refresh bleeds then tb

arctic venture
#

best legendarys?

#

to use at moment?

round harbor
#

if bleeds are longer than 8 seconds then im ok?

wheat zealot
#

10+ seconds

round harbor
#

ok, ive just been casting tb basically off cd and as a cp generator

wary hawk
#

anyone has a elaborate planning wa?

strange python
#

you're supposed to press it more or less on cd but you should be aware of the cd so you can refresh low bleeds before

hoary copper
#

still try planning around it

#

Idk if @civic palm HUD has EP with it, I would check wago.io and see

round harbor
#

gotcha

#

same way i should plan around having bleeds active previous to vendetta?

strange python
#

his ep is pretty smooth

#

also you should delay your first vanish until the first garrote has 5.4 seconds left

round harbor
#

and with bracers/sephuz i dont really cast anything with vanish except vanish>garrote?

strange python
#

well, I guess ~7 seconds since you vanish envenom first

#

point is you want to do another subterfuge garrote with the first garrote at 5.4 seconds left

round harbor
#

to clip the full duration

strange python
#

ye

lofty junco
#

envenom only with 5 or 4 too?

strange python
#

4+

round harbor
#

so then my opener goes sopmething like garrote > mut > rup > mut > vendeta > vanish/garrote > continue

strange python
#

oops

#

there's an opener in the guide in the pins.

lofty junco
#

garrote-mut-(mut)-rupture-vendetta-TB-....vanish-garrote(6 seconds remaining)

strange python
#

also regarding refreshing bleeds before tb

#

you can rupture at 3cp if it really comes down to it.

#

3cp ruptures aren't a huge deal.

round harbor
#

aslong as every cp of the tick gets used right?

strange python
#

well rupture doesn't do more dmg based on cp

#

just duration

hoary copper
#

The very last tick of rupture was doing like 15 damage when Miz was testing it the other day so refresh before 1 second for sure

remote wing
#

well with pandemic u can refresh in the last 8 secs and it will be added into the new one fyi

hoary copper
#

Right but we are talking if you somehow forget or dont do that

remote wing
#

ah ok

hoary copper
#

That last tick was pathetic

#

maybe it was garrote

#

I forget

Was 20, team rage quit, was 19, really good team but we wiped so hard on last 2 bosses. Is it somehow overtuned?

lean hill
#

On fortified? They should die almost instantly

#

Tyrannical bosses were melting last week at that key level

whole canyon
#

I heard that adds in boss fights on fortified are OP.

#

So maybe those demons summoned, or shadows are stronger, idk.

#

Last boss, before intermission his aoe is so freaking strong.

lean hill
#

Oh god the portals on second last

whole canyon
#

Our druid pulling 6.2K hps overall on whole fight and he was surprised why it's so hard.

#

Otherwise he healed like a boss everything.

#

They said they smashed 20+ easily before pre-patch but now idk, it felt suddenly like much higher key.

lean hill
#

Might just be cath, it was broken as hell when it was first introduced

whole canyon
#

Second last, tank + heal survivors managed to kill it, demon adds 1 hit in melee = 90% hp gone.

#

I think so too... almost 1M hp feels wrong, when it should be 270% more hp on boss.

#

Normally it has like 120k on mythic? So 270% shouldn't be 1M, right?

lean hill
#

Sounds like firedogs issue? Magical damage hitting hard

#

Certain abilities like shadow volley in brh are doing a lot more than they used to

whole canyon
#

Maybe it's magical damage... this aoe before transition is just wipe fest.

#

Add 5 stacks of grevious too 😄

hoary copper
#

I saw a disc priest complaining about it with a +28

whole canyon
#

Some dude said he did higher key of that and he pulled 9K hps on his priest. Which is kinda insane.

#

We tried only 19.. can't imagine 28 lol.

#

I'd like to see 28 key with this week's affixes, seriously.

#

I guess it's fine. There's many dungeons. Could be a bragging right: "sup, I smashed 25 on CoeN on fortified easily" 😛

hoary copper
#

The priest I saw in FW was saying he was doing 10K hps

abstract moth
#

If i use shoulders, should i still do garrote after vanish or should i go vanish - envenom - mutilate - envenom?

whole canyon
#

Eh, disc strong again huh. The heals who did 9k was disc also.

#

Holy for life!

#

I think envenom for sure. So much damage.

hoary copper
#

Oh it was a 24 he did the 10K hps

abstract moth
#

Yeah, feels like i should be doing that still, not sure though

hoary copper
#

You can always sim and see what the APL has

#

Thats what I do when I'm unsure

whole canyon
#

I can see barrier + spam shield, that's strong. Holy has HW: salvation but you don't use it in M+, so probably very hard to pull high numbers.

hoary copper
#

Well with leggos and damage and such right now, disc is pretty stronk

whole canyon
#

In BfA people go from resto druid to disc, so..

#

pff

#

like this method MDI player who resto'd all the way

#

now playing disc coz it's op

lone junco
#

@abstract moth if using shoulders, next depends on Subterfuge or NS. I play subterfuge. Vanish Env garrote mut Env mut env.

whole canyon
#

Oh, yea. Same. Thanks for the tip, gonna sneak in garrote there.

lone junco
#

garrote is in the first 3 sec after vanish.

whole canyon
#

Yea, forgot. Gotta cast it.

abstract moth
#

Yeah i use subterfuge, that makes sense. Thank you

molten timber
#

It depends on the lvl 30 talent you are using honestly. With subterfuge use garrote, with night stalker use envenom.

Is there a trinket list which one is the greatest now after the patch?

vestal wren
#

channel topic or pins 😉

#

yes both sim sites in the pins have trinket sims

rustic nova
#

sim sites?

#

i havent simed my character since +5 months ago

vestal wren
#

oh if you want to sim your character, raidbots is the fastest way

hollow rose
#

ok so I need some help

civic palm
#

?

hollow rose
#

so I was doing antorus norm, got the 4set now, but to use 4set I have to replace mantle with set shoulders

#

is sephuz and insignia a good combo

rotund pier
#

Yes

hollow rose
#

or what other combo leggos should I use

#

i have them all

civic palm
#

Should SIM your collections to make sure your item levels don't push something different to the top.

strange python
#

use the raidbots top gear function or the addon simpermut to sim all your options at once.

hollow rose
#

yeah i will do that I just wanted to see another thing from u guys

rotund pier
#

Sim all your gear Combos AND talent combos

hollow rose
#

the guy I was doing the raid with said that Nightstalker was better than subterfuge (talent)

#

idk

strange python
#

there's no way anyone could give a definite answer to that because it depends on your gear and legendaries.

hollow rose
#

also do I go elaborate planning now I have the 4set

wild stone
#

Hi, is there a pandemic timer for garrote?

strange python
#

5.4s

wild stone
#

I see the pandemic timer on icyveins for garrote but not rupture

#

thanks

hollow rose
#

also whats a pandemic timer

strange python
#

7.2s rupture

lone junco
#

rupture is based on the cps spent when you cast it the first time

hollow rose
#

reee

fresh wind
#

I'm looking at the rotation....
Why wouldn't I use Toxic Blade before rupture ?

wild stone
#

When you refresh Rupture Icon Rupture before it expires, the duration that was left is added to the new Rupture DoT, up to a maximum of 30% of the original duration. You can safely refresh a 5 Combo Point Rupture when it has 7.2 seconds or less remaining. Deeper Stratagem Icon Deeper Stratagem allows for 6 Combo Point Ruptures, which last 28 seconds. 6 Combo Point Ruptures can be refreshed safely when they have 8.4 seconds or less remaining. @hollow rose

strange python
#

toxic blade does nothing to a rupture and you essentially waste a gcd

fresh wind
#

Poison Bomb

strange python
#

poison bomb damage is very low

#

even last patch its not worth the ganble

fresh wind
#

So use it pre envenom only I am guessing?

strange python
#

yes you dont want to refresh your bleeds during toxic blade. Aim for 2 - 3 envenoms over its duration

#

but still make sure your bleeds dont fall off the target. Have to be aware of the toxic blade cooldown and prepare for it.

fresh wind
#

Makes sense. I was thinking that it might be worth it earlier to try and get more in per fight, but the logic makes sense.

wild stone
#

lol i can only get on envenom off during toxic blade..

#

one

fresh wind
#

2 seems easy enough without Marked for Death

lone junco
#

2 is normal. 3 is with shoulder lvl crit

#

if you can only do 1, you either were low E when you started, or have 0 crit and have to mut 2 times per

strange python
#

3 is like, during lust

lone junco
#

with artifact 3 was easer due to high mut crit

#

aim for 2

strange python
#

@wild stone are you using finishers at 4+ cp

wild stone
#

aiming for 5 also should note, im fresh 110 on this rogue

#

no tier

fresh wind
#

Is Blindside or Elaborate planning simming higher for everyone? Master Poisoner + Toxic Blade + DoT snapshot seems like it should be doing more. Or is the snapshot wiped ( or not applied ) on every reapplication?

strange python
#

finish at 4 or 5

wild stone
#

Okay coming from feral, we never use less than 5

strange python
#

dont mutilate at 4 cp it is a dire mistake

light kestrel
#

Regardless of the talent setup I simmed highest with MP+TB+PB

fresh wind
#

I've had no luck with blindside, but I also have shit for gear

strange python
#

try to clip envenom at the end of EP

hollow rose
#

okay so 4set was better than using mantle

strange python
#

but if you do that over and over you will run out of steam

#

so sometimes you have to back off to just the envenom buff for a cycle or two

#

kind of have to judge if you are going to be able to keep up EP or not

#

blindside is not yet that powerful / i guess it will come with gear in bfa. there you will see its power in executephases where high dps is needed

#

blindside seemed to be competitive at 120

#

y

#

at least during our preliminary sims

#

probably because no tier (master poisoner loses value) and lower stat scaling at 120 (harder to maintain EP)

#

but to answer you pandemic and garrote questions use notter´s insane nice wa for not overcapping empowered ones aswell

#

goes for bleed spec aswell

wise frigate
#

Subterfuge empowerment tracking seems a bit fucky since 8.0 with Notter's stuff.

fresh wind
#

I am just seeing trouble with how blindside produces more overall DPS with the increase in energy per combo point.

strange python
#

sup is not and buff anymore so it sucks to track

civic palm
#

Subterfuge empowerment seems broken entirely.

strange python
#

i use a a timer for it / aka out of stealth i have a 3 sek timer

#

blindside is great on the proc

#

yeah my notters broke.

fresh wind
#

Are you still using Mutilate in the execute window then, relying on the proc? Or always using on proc and always using in execute window?

strange python
#

@strange python did you delete some of it ?

#

in ex with blindside you only use dispatch

hollow rose
#

guys I have 30% haste now.. I know Im supposed to go crit now but

strange python
#

probably somehow

hollow rose
#

how much crit until I go mastery

#

whats the cap

strange python
#

you have to sim that m8

#

no cap. Sim your statweights

hollow rose
#

uh

strange python
#

prolly around the same i have so you see versa becomes more strong than mastery

#

but that was my sim

#

when mastery gets a higher weight than crit, to answer your question. But thats unlikely

hollow rose
#

ok im running the sim for stat weights now

#

but the last time I did it i didnt know what i was looking at 😦

strange python
#

mastery is probably your lowest.

#

link ill help you m8

#

It will say like Crit: 2.75

#

which means each point in crit increases your dps by 2.75.

#

what sim you using ? i normally just use raidbots

wise frigate
#

Higher number = more value from that stat.

strange python
#

so will this spec be good for bfa?

hollow rose
wise frigate
#

So ilvl, then haste, then crit.

civic palm
#

8⃣

hollow rose
#

ok what does this mean

strange python
#

try with poision bomber insted m8

#

then sim it again

civic palm
#

It means you get that number of DPS per 1 increase in that stat.

#

Like the bottom says.

hollow rose
#

ahhh I was in mythic+ gearset

strange python
#

k

#

simming mah litle rogue so you can see it

hollow rose
#

Ok there's the main one

strange python
#

looking sek

wise frigate
#

So yeah, ilvl is king for you right now, then look for haste/crit.

strange python
#

i hope you can see this sek

#

yeah his onpoint there ilvl m8

hollow rose
#

doesnt matter what stats?

#

just ilvl

#

even crit/vers

strange python
#

ish id say / best is ofc if you have haste on it and even crit. but yeah crit versa is ok

#

he means agility is highest which comes with item level.

#

since crit is close to main stat there only 0,3 deff

hollow rose
#

so an upgade of +5 agility would give me a dps increase of 3.02 x 5?

strange python
#

y

#

yep.

wise frigate
#

Ish yeah. Depending on the stats on the new piece as well, it could be more or less than the 15.1

strange python
#

but agility is not the only stat on an item.

sacred citrus
#

checks pins

#

oh hey nothing changed

acoustic bane
#

Wait is ilvl really the main thing now? I swear it was stats like haste and crit >.>

civic palm
#

Depends on your weights..

lean hill
#

If you get a slightly higher piece that has the 2 lower stats in your sims replacing one with the 2 higher weights it wont necessarily be an upgrade

sacred citrus
#

what are all these memelaw rogues doing in here? O.o

lean hill
#

Didnt realize we weren't allowed out of our cage 🙃

hollow rose
#

well i think its just that im 219 so

#

not that high

#

Im only recently getting into normals and mythic +15's

sacred citrus
#

@lean hill more like i didn't realize normal people were let IN our cage.

lean hill
#

Lol I was sin main more than outlaw or sub during legion

sacred citrus
#

i am an old dog that can't learn new tricks

#

i've been playing sin, since ulduar.
