wise frigate
#

Let what drop for a sec? The point of the opening Vanish is to get the Garrote reapplied with Subterfuge buff during the pandemic window.

undone lodge
#

i think i hold for vanish until garrote is less than 6 sec

#

then i vanish and garrote

lone junco
#

that 4p 20 is doing work.

#

18.8k sustained sim for 40sec

#

8T.

#

thats amazing

green summit
#

RIP Tier sets

lone junco
wise frigate
#

That's a lot of fucking Garrote lmao

lone junco
#

2p20 makes no cd

#

4p makes it +60% dmg

zealous lily
#

hmmm

undone lodge
#

@lone junco so the best built atm is 4p T20 and 2p T21?

slow mortar
#

would you shy away from insignia of raven during fortified (non-teeming) weeks?

zealous lily
#

how much does it matter if you just basic mythic t20

#

guess i should just sim it

lone junco
#

@undone lodge nah. im just messing around.

#

mostly for M+ trash

#

specifically on fights where you can proc sephuz

undone lodge
#

ah okay lol

#

so what's the best built then?

stark solar
#

will sin be nerfed to hard you think

#

?

civic palm
#

no

undone lodge
#

@lone junco ah okay thanks

ornate gazelle
#

gorshalach's legacy or pantheon trinket in m+?

balmy stump
#

best legendaries?

civic palm
honest compass
#

@ornate gazelle id say pantheon

#

More reliable procs

#

Rather than waiting for stacks

onyx falcon
#

JW anyone here actually race change to troll yet?

honest compass
#

I play alliance

#

Besides trolls are ugly

onyx falcon
#

yea... i always forget some races are side specific

honest compass
#

Female Void elves are sexy mfs though

delicate crater
#

should I be getting more DPS out of PB that CT in M+ or am I just bad?

honest compass
#

CT should replace envenom in your rotation

#

Youโ€™re probably using envenom with ct

strange python
#

I have to use shoulders+cini, sims the highest for me with master poisoner and nightstalker. So my opener is garrote-muti-rapture-vend-toxic blade-vanish, which brings me with 2cp inside vanish. should i dump the 2cp right into a envenom? Because i am wasting 1 cp for a quick muti but have a big envenom

honest compass
#

Mut before vanish

#

Then bigger envenom

strange python
#

So muti after vend

#

Because i dont want to waste toxic uptime

honest compass
#

Yeah

#

You should be in vanish with 5cp

strange python
#

That seems reasonable

#

Will try out because it felt awkward

#

Since the opener is different from CP and subtefurge

honest compass
#

Do you have mantle ?

strange python
#

I have everything

#

And yeah mantle+cini is best for me

honest compass
#

You should be using subterfuge then

#

That garrote damage is way too good

echo sphinx
#

something I couldn't see in guides, if we are using blindside, we still maintain garrote in execute window correct?

civic palm
#

We don't use Blindside @ 110.

Did it SIM better for you?

echo sphinx
#

yes

#

less geared toon, main swapping for BFA so guessing that is why

civic palm
#

But yeah, maintain DoTs, use Blindside on proc.

#

Still need that Energy regen from Venomous Wounds.

echo sphinx
#

k i thought so, but wanted to double check thanks

civic palm
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

azure vapor
#

what is a good legendary to get for my assassination rogue ?

honest compass
#

Bracers and shoulders imo

azure vapor
#

you talking about this ?

civic palm
#

Sephuz is good as well, Prydaz for not getting dismounting for leveling is nice as well.

patent leaf
#

Why are you linking them as if we dont know the rogue legos

civic palm
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

Can't get it wrong this way.

patent leaf
#

Shoulders and ring i would say

honest compass
#

Sephuz is only good if you can proc it I thought

civic palm
#

Like that, "ring".

#

Sephuz is good period, the proc is more icing on the cake.

honest compass
#

It simmed lower than bracers for me

civic palm
#

Sephuz SIMs are still without interrupting anything for the proc.

honest compass
#

In all cases

dense minnow
#

It shouldnโ€™t

civic palm
#

Need context on that, as if it's simming even 1% under something else, if you find an interrupt somewhere then it wins.

#

He could just have very poor off pieces, making it so that it's going to perform poorly with his gear.

honest compass
#

Like 200 ish less

#

But even in practice

#

Itโ€™s less

civic palm
#

eg. I have a poor neck, if I got a crit/haste neck I'd gain ~200dps just because there are better leggos in other slots.

honest compass
#

I would gain the same stats

#

From using either slot nonlego

azure vapor
#

i'll prob go with the ring

odd tundra
#

xD

short quarry
#

is assassination doing better than outlaw st?

#

can't post in quick questions for some reason

solid nova
#

Need to grab yourself a rank from #bot-spam , all explained in the pins mate.

short quarry
#

no real answer there (i know all the specs are viable), it looks like assassination is doing better atm in raids on st tho, outside of imonar

hazy iron
#

it's also mostly irrelevant how specs are doing at the moment, as everything changes at 120

short quarry
#

we still play legion for 2 weeks

hazy iron
#

i'd suggest having fun

shrewd night
#

@short quarry Giving you any indication of what performs better for us is misleading as it wont be the same case for you. If you want general opinions, check out warcraftlogs, if you want accurate shit, sim yourself.

limpid dirge
#

is blindside any good?

shrewd night
#

Could be, depends on your gear. Sim yourself.

limpid dirge
#

im still lvling was thinking pvp wise

supple hearth
#

@limpid dirge no it's the least viable option

#

In every situation atm

#

Maybe at 120 it will be good

civic palm
#

unless you're leveling ๐Ÿ˜›

#

or low item level ๐Ÿ˜›

supple hearth
#

Well he said PvP wise so

limpid dirge
#

guess ill try MP for a bit

tired brook
#

is bleed build viable for bfa?

supple hearth
#

They will likely nerf our garrote damage soon. You'll have to wait and see still

tired brook
#

is it the better option right now?

supple hearth
#

I believe they have the best build atm in the pins

#

I've been msotly playing PvP so I'm not sure for pve

#

But atm assassination is way overtuned and is very likely to get adjusted

#

So it's safe to assume that how we are now is not how we will be come raid time

tired brook
#

thanks for the info

supple hearth
#

Np. I'd be pretty surprised if we don't get major tuning in the next month. So everything is subject to change

honest compass
#

lul just got soul of the shadowblade from an emissary chest

frozen pecan

gratz

honest compass

its kinda useless though

#

bfa is 2 weeks away

frozen pecan

it's always been useless ^^

honest compass
#

true

#

but its even more useless

waddu saying, soul has been friggin nice on some ToS fights

deep kindle
#

Hey guys i thinking about lvling a new assa for bfa on horde any advises for race?

dire spoke
#

If you're not raiding top50 it doesn't matter, play what you like or check out herodamage in pins

frozen pecan
#

bloodelf masterrace

#

troll should be best for assa tho

deep kindle
#

Its not really about the deeps which is the most rouge suiting. Troll chould be the best with bleeds scaling with haste thats for sure

frozen pecan
#

well play what you like then

dire spoke
#

blizzard already decided what suits rogue and there you have the choice ThinkyThink

deep kindle
#

Don't really know what race to pick since tauren is not available

frozen pecan
#

well don't know how we should help you to decide

#

troll is the best for dps, if you don't care about that pick what you want

shrewd night
#

be me
in 2018
want advice on races for wow
but they cant read my mind
they always suggest the wrong race

quick ice
#

Troll has mog issues because weird feet though :(

dire spoke
#

no u

deep kindle
#

Ok thanks ty i guess i will go for undead or b11 then

odd zinc
#

What's the easiest way of tracking Subterfuge in Weakauras w/o tracking other buffs? Since it's not an aura and I don't really know how to custom code ๐Ÿ˜•

shrewd night
#

The easiest way for you then is to steal it off another weakaura. Afaik its hard as shit to track subterfuge without knowing custom coding

dire spoke
#

somebody needs to test my code

odd zinc
#

Kinda what I expected then, managed to link a trigger to the leggo shoulders but those won't really be used come BfA

odd tundra
#

best way to track it is to count to 3

shrewd night
#

Need custom code for that fam

frozen helm
#

Just make a weakaura with the subterfuge icon that countdowns 3 seconds upon stealth cancelation, easy.

lone junco
#

Just use your brain.

frozen helm
#

That too

#

Literally 2 GCD's

#

Also am i crazy or was Vendetta always on the GCD?

solid nova
#

It's been on GCD since prepatch.

#

It wasn't prior to that

tardy spruce
#

I hate how vendetta feels on the GCD

solid nova
#

I mean every class has a major CD on GCD now, so its a mutual feeling

#

Just takes a bit of getting used to

edgy latch
#

i hate the gcd's feel like shit on every spec/class

#

especially melee classes without casts

dire spoke
#

spec unplayable now

#

reroll

edgy latch

but when you want to pop ar, bf and br at the same time as outlaw

just feels bad

Blade flurry on gcd is

Time to go shaman

solid nova

Enjoy 1.5 second GCD on your CDs then

strange python
#

OMEGALUL

#

((Joking btw

fiery nest
#

Imagine complaining about something being on gcd as a spec that is 35apm.

#

Sin btw

solid nova
#

GCD applies to every class now so you'll complain no matter what class you decide to roll ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ

strange python
#

Didn't notice vendetta was on gcd tbh

fiery nest
#

35apm 1 ability compared to 70apm 4 things on gcd

Those are the 75th percentile mythic logs @dire spoke currently Zemps

Pretty sure they are anyway

nice exploit logs

hahah wow

who would exploit to get good logs anyways

so you can use two daggers as outlaw now???????????

its a trash cleave sim.

Anyone leveling in bfa with the legendary cape and the hidden blades talents? For the 1500% fok buff

shrewd night

Are you high fam

lone junco

@solid nova web blocker at work has been .. working

shrewd night
#

That was fixed two weeks ago

solid nova
#

It's been patched for a long while.

lone junco
#

3?

solid nova
#

Its no longer multiplicative and hasn't been since a day after prepatch?

iron helm
#

Its still oneshotting mobs though

lone junco

prob. but you have to wait for ever to kill a rat

shrewd night
#

Anything can oneshot level 10 mobs

iron helm
#

110 mobs

lone junco
#

sure.

#

but it was hitting for 60k-90k

#

the dream died

iron helm
#

Aye now its 40k ๐Ÿ˜‚

shrewd night
#

Imagine having to wait 30-40 seconds to kill each group of mobs

lone junco
#

thats like 1 garrote right?

#

1 subterfuge garrote is like 20-30k Id guess

#

tick tick tick tick

dire spoke
#

nice meta

lone junco
#

Weights are weird for sure. Garrote only needs enough cps to push ep. After that rupture ticks for 900. So not even worth using.

#

E is full, cause 2p makes it super cheap.

why is assassination+discpline popular?

undone girder
#

Both specs is really strong atm, disc is nearly invincible, while pushing out strong dmg numbers..

#

Sin is overall pretty strong atm, and we have some really nice PvP talents. Creeping Venom feel very strong for instance.

Cause both are op as fuck in prepatch

sin+disc was allready one of the best 2v2 arena comps in legion if im right

on rest of 100 fights I only used cheat

cheat is fixed now

I don't really care it's been fixed, it's interesting and I was asking

shrewd pine

You went to draenor, you stood in poo left by killed infested orcs, you got 10 stacks of the debuff, you Hearthstoned out, enjoyed double mastery

and got top log.

Just coming back to the game since earlier this year. What's the best talent choices for Ass now and going forward?

scenic temple
#

check icy veins. mostly depends on ur playstyle

shrewd pine
scenic temple
#

or whatever other website they recommend on here

exotic glen
#

Do not check icy veins

scenic temple
#

yeah dont listen to me

shrewd pine
#

Dont check icy veins

#

Oh hi Argo

exotic glen
#

?

shrewd pine
exotic glen
#

Haaai

fluid jolt
#

Thanks. I didn't think about checking the Pins

exotic glen
#

Anyways read the guide in the header

#

And pins

solid nova
#

And if you're uncertain about a talent choice in comparison with another simself

fluid jolt
#

So the prepatch set up is 2210021

#

generically

#

for singl

exotic glen
#

Pretty much

hoary copper
#

NS and Sub are close for a lot of people for talents too

solid nova
#

Generically yes, but some talent choices sim very close together

#

Dependant on your stat weights

strange python
#

and icy veins says nightstalker is strictly behind subterfuge which is just wrong

hoary copper
#

@regal moss I believe is the one that does that guide?

vestal wren
#

it is on 120

#

and even now ns is behind subter

#

the reason:

  • 100% on subter > +50% on rupture
    you can do the calculation
fluid jolt
#

So nobody is taking blindside

#

I thought it'd be the choice

vestal wren
#

yes because you have more energy due to tier

#

so EP is even on st stronger

exotic glen
#

dispatch can be good at 120 maybe

vestal wren
#

all 3 t1 talents are fairly close

#

ep beats the alternatives on aoe

#

blindside feels best to use on pure st

#

and sims iirc also best

strange python
#

oh okay. it is made for 120.

regal moss
#

rupt is 150% ap, 50% gain on it is + 75% ap
garrote is 108 ap, 100% gain on it is 108% ap
envenom 80% ap, so 50% gain on it is 40% ap, even with 100% crit shoulders it still only 80% ap

vestal wren
#

5:36 PM] fuu: and even now ns is behind subter

fluid jolt
#

Well then once you're 120 I think blindeside will outmatch the others

vestal wren
#

simple calulation:
this is the win when using the folowing:
garrote NS:2335
garrote Sub:4670
Rupture NS:3252
is from a calculation i did some days ago

exotic glen
#

we will see i guess

vestal wren
#

for 110

regal moss
#

so the only time NS is ahead of NS is if ur using leggo shoulders, and the target dies in under like 15 seconds

dire spoke
#

grayhound alive pepocheer

vestal wren
#

well you can sim it

regal moss
#

@dire spoke not rly

vestal wren
#

i am not even sure that shoulders would mean ns is ahead

dire spoke
regal moss
#

oh

#

and you have 0% crit

vestal wren
#

if the fight time is super low ns > subter

#

but on normal fight time subter should beat ns

regal moss
#

yea, like under 30 sec

hoary copper
#

odd that ns and sub sim within .1% of each other then when not using lego shoulder

strange python
#

it sims a little too close for me

hoary copper

I awoke gray from the dead

@vestal wren do you know if i can just copy paste the nightstalker / subterfuge triggers into my own weakauras? my colouring broke with pre patch

hoary copper
strange python
#

pins dont have leveling info

vestal wren
#

you could make a condition for the color change however that will not take cp into consideration

hoary copper
#

I dont think anywhere does

#

for us

strange python
#

@shadow parrot sin and sub have the better warmode talents, the mantle, sephuz, and KJ's burning wish will be legendaries that will stand out for leveling

sick oyster
#

thats what i was doing for now for pandemic but not sure about the empowerements

vestal wren
#

you would probably need custom code

shadow parrot
#

@strange python is assa significantly slower? and thx 4 leggo recommendations

strange python
#

nah it's fine. I will be leveling as assa because of crimson tempest + leeching poison

shadow parrot
#

and best build for leveling? talent wise

#

for assa

strange python
#

uhhh probably elaborate planning/subt/mfd/leeching poison/any/toxic blade/crimson tempest

talents prob dont matter much except mfd, leeching poison, crimson tempest as mentioned

when fok + ct spamming, am I refreshing CT at 5 CP or applying it to all mobs then FOK until CT expires?

you spam CT as well, you dont wait for the debuff to expire

@lone junco Hi, I noticed you have some m+ suggestion involving CT spam, garrote and envenom. I couldnโ€™t read up to find more though. Could you please share some more info and perhaps pin it so itโ€™s accessible for more people please ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

lone junco
#

Stuff like that depends on mob count. Mob duration. Oranges.

At least the talents are pretty set. Ep/subterfuge/Vig/ - / tb /ct.

#

Sephuz sims don't work. But the opener with subterfuge is really strong due to it.

#

You can sim trash packs of various sizes. But there is a point where zero rupture is a gain. Instead you would just do another Ct application.

#

Zero env is a loss. Likely due to poison application rate feeding energy during FOK.

Hello all. Iโ€™m new to rogues. Boosted one about two weeks ago. Just a couple quick questions. I know it wonโ€™t matter when BFA comes out but what are best leggos with 4 piece? Is it shoulders ring or shoulders bracers or both rings? Also when I use vanish I use it at 5 cp then envenom mutilate envenom mutilate so when the duration of shoulders is over I have four cp and can go about my rotation. Is that making good use of vanish? That gives me high crits with envenom and good burst I think

lone junco
#

Right now, I've been messing with 4p 20. It has some hilarious results. .

hoary copper
#

Use finishers at 4+, not 5

primal lance
#

Isnโ€™t 5 considered 4+?

lone junco
#

4 or 5 or 6

plain thistle
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

hoary copper
#

Right but you said specifically 5, you try not to get to 5

#

If you have 4 you use it, you dont mut again

lone junco
#

Mut during shoulder =4

primal lance
#

Yeah I know not to Mutilate at 4

hoary copper
#

That was the old rotation with shoulder for vanish, I think even with shoulder the APL has vanish (wait for garrote to 6 sec left) and then garrote

primal lance
#

So itโ€™s more beneficial to garrote with vanish to start it?

plain thistle
#

yes if using subterfuge

elfin fossil
#

If you run subterfuge

primal lance
#

I do use that

plain thistle
#

then yes, always garrote after vanish (or at least 3s after vanishing)

primal lance
#

So you guys are saying I can vanish at 4 cp then garrote into envenom mutilate envenom? To get good burst dps

plain thistle
#

yes, but you can sim to check if shoulder is the best for you

hoary copper
#

It may not be anymore

primal lance
#

Well itโ€™s all I got atm so itโ€™s gonna have to do for now. Iโ€™m only 192 ilvl and donโ€™t have much for gear

hoary copper
#

Sephuz and insignia both sim high now. Most of our leggos are kinda close

#

Getting more leggos is easy now with doing emissaries, LFR, and the daily WQ that now give essence instead of AP. You can also sim with leggos you dont have just to see which is worth buying too

primal lance
#

Yeah I didnโ€™t know that. Very new to wow and am obviously way behind on knowledge so was looking for some smart ppl to help lol. Thanks to all who replied

hoary copper
#

Oh daily heroic gives 30 too

#

I got 2 leggos from essences last week on the same character. I havent seen a leggo drop in over a month tho -.-

thorny plover
#

Legendaries will only be usefull till 116 (ty bruen), im using sephuz + shoulders for speed and quick kills

arctic venture
#

!trinkets

chrome tuskBOT
hoary copper
#

116*

#

KJBW is pretty good I hear for leveling too, the scaling makes it pretty decent

strange python
#

yea it hits for 15k or so.

thorny plover
#

Id rather kill emm all quick then one super quick every minute :D

hoary copper
#

kjbw is aoe, you could round mobs up with it tho shrug

dense wave
#

I was considering shoulder and cinidaria for literal one shots that heal

lone junco
#

The run speed from sephuz will be nice for quests.

dense wave
#

That is very true

#

Procing sephuz would require garrote out of stealth? I wonder if that would really save time over repeated instagib

boreal mauve
#

What spec are people levelling as?

strange python
#

well you could sap

main blaze
#

Crafted boots + sephuz should be pretty nice for quests

strange python
#

or cheap shot but yeah with subterfuge I wouldnt do anything except garrote from stealth

dense wave
#

I still think shoulder, mfd, cinidaria would be overall faster

strange python
#

Hello, what is the best opener now ?

main blaze
#

pins

lone junco
#

It's not hard to cheapshot garrote mut env.

#

Prob Shoulder sephuz. To 116 cause i don't have the fancy whisp boots.

dense wave
#

Thatโ€™s literally 4 times longer than mfd env

main blaze
#

Im leveling in 5 man group so things will die instantly anyway

dense wave
#

In that case movement speed is everything

main blaze
#

I'd rather have speed between pulls

strange python
#

things die stupid fast in outdoor legion activities

lone junco
#

Mount?

#

Rupture does like 3 damage. So subterfuge is bae for now.

strange python
#

but I think you might be underestimating the health/dmg of bfa leveling mobs

main blaze
#

Do you mount after every time you kill a mob?

lone junco
#

I made it to 116 with my template guy.

#

No 120 for me.

main blaze
#

or click an item

lone junco
#

Nothing was hard. But I did most with outlaw.

#

Base hook is nice.

#

Shoulder bracer Mark bte ps. Next.

hoary copper
#

Does that make you a hooker then Noobe?

lone junco
#

Once every 45s

dense wave
#

Mark bte sounds even better with sephuz though

lone junco
#

The pistol shot trait stacks with bracers.

#

Anyway. Pick weeds. Loot trolls. Kill wasps. Repeat for 2days.

regal moss
#

tbh while lvling u use ns

#

and just mfd env muti env

#

that generally killed everything i ran into

lone junco
#

Yeah. I didn't have any problem killing packs of 3+. Or even the. 3person elite quest mobs.

primal lance
#

Do you guys main outlaw or assassin?

strange python
#

idk yet

#

assa ist pretty much no brainer

#

will be good raiding and m+

#

now with decent aoe even more

primal lance
#

Yeah I like raiding more than anything so I wanna be assassin

hoary copper
#

Be whatever you want

#

No one knows what we will be like with tuning

strange python
#

what happens with spec specific traits on gear when you change spec?

#

do they stay for the chosen spec

hoary copper
#

you mean Azerite?

#

or tier?

crude hatch
#

bound to the gear

strange python
#

there is no tier and no other traits duh

crude hatch
#

what?

hoary copper
#

I didnt know if you meant now or future

strange python
#

oh

#

bfa

#

azerite

hoary copper
#

Cant read your mind sorry

strange python
#

ofc

hoary copper
#

what hekkr said

strange python
#

i mean you chose a trait which enhances a assa ability

cerulean walrus
#

Sorry to intrude, but between the two neck enchants which is better? Mark of the Claw or Mark of the Hidden Satyr?

strange python
#

you change spec to outlaw

#

what happens to the trait

crude hatch
#

you need new gear for that

hoary copper
#

simself @cerulean walrus

crude hatch
#

no you get new traits dummy

strange python
#

so you basically still bound to a spec on a high end level

crude hatch
#

nah when you chagne spec

#

you get new traits in your azerite gear

#

you level your heart of azeroth

strange python
#

i see

#

and choose again for the spec

crude hatch
#

yes

#

more levels mean more traits

#

the better gear means better traits

wise frigate
#

But you'll still probably end up using different pieces of gear depending on the other spec's traits.

strange python
#

y because on an high lvl piece you might get a trash trait for one spec but godly for other

dense wave
#

The other reason for changing pieces is the raid specific traits

remote wing
#

ya not a fan of those raid only traits seem cheap and dont provide much outside the raid the other traits in that ring look better overall to me

haughty flame
#

U think rogues gna get a nerf?

quartz depot
#

would be weird if they never got one

honest compass
#

i dont think they'll "nerf" any class in particular, i think they'll be balancing out the classes to make it more even across the board.

#

just so 1 class isn't preferred over others, i.e. arcane mage preferred over shadow priest 100% of the time because its so much stronger with the same type of damage

strange python
#

arcane rogue

fiery nest
#

i dont think they'll "nerf" any class in particular you must be new ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

honest compass
#

Iโ€™ve been playing since wrath

#

Nerfing a class means targeting 1 particular class, if theyโ€™re balancing amongst all classes itโ€™s not a nerf

fiery nest
#

lol

quartz depot
#

balancing = nerfing & buffing

zealous lily
#

shadow dance + arcane power +SoD and makes your evicerates hit so hard with find weakness up and then you arcane explosion into the secret technique in aoe it's amazing

#

even in pvp at 120 rogues are not the most amazing class i think people are too eager to draw bad conclusions from prepatch

#

secondary stats are so different at 120. like my beta character has agi as his best stat by a fair amount

fiery nest
#

agi is best stat at 110 as well

#

oh maybe not for sin

zealous lily
#

not for most people at least at high gear level rn for assassination

honest compass
#

Shadow resist rogue when?

#

funny enough theres been times i've needed to tank M+

soft wharf
#

this might be a dumb question but do multiple envenoms stack..?

plain thistle
#

no, just refresh the duration

soft wharf
#

or if i use a 5 cp envenom, is there no point in using another envenom til ~ 1 second left

plain thistle
#

and envenom buff has pandemic too ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

soft wharf
#

wouldnt that be a lot of energy to pool waiting almost 5 seconds to refresh envenom?

plain thistle
#

thats why during burst (vendetta) or high energy income you dont care about refreshing envenom too early

strange python
#

yeah during lust just mash buttons.

plain thistle
#

you just generate-spend, generate-spend , repeat

honest compass
#

what does pandemic even mean, i've never used WA

#

i am unfamiliar with the term

soft wharf
#

ah ok

#

so outside of ven, just make sure i have a 5cp envenom up, and obviously rup gar

strange python
#

refreshing a dot will give you at most 30% of the previous duration added to the new one

#

(and envenom buff)

plain thistle
#

@soft wharf 4cp+

soft wharf
#

weird my UI doesnt show envenom ticking on the nameplate

#

it shows rupture and garrote tho

strange python
#

so the duration of garrote is 18s, 18 * .3 = 5.4, if you refresh garrote at 5.4 seconds remaining, the new one will be 5.4 seconds longer

plain thistle
#

envenom ticking?

soft wharf
#

and deadly poison

plain thistle
#

envenom is a buff, on you

soft wharf
#

like the duratoin

#

ohhh

honest compass
soft wharf
#

thought it was a debuff

#

on the monster or w/e

#

lmao

#

๐Ÿ˜„

strange python
#

does that make sense @honest compass

honest compass
#

yeah

#

still not sure why pandemic was the word used

#

i knew about that

#

but i never called it pandemic

strange python
#

it used to be a passive for warlocks or something

#

got made into the base for every spec with dots and such

honest compass
#

i see

strange python
#

there is still absolutely nothing in the game telling you that it exists though

honest compass
#

as far as i know its 5.4 everytime right

#

for garrote

#

that number doesnt change right

strange python
#

for garrote yes

honest compass
#

thought so

strange python
#

for rupture. since duration depends on cp, pandemic time depends on cp

honest compass
#

i dont read into stuff too much, i read patch notes to see what they changed for rogues, and thats it

strange python
#

I know mizerok's wa's in the pins will show the pandemic rupture timing correctly for cp

honest compass
#

7.2 for 5cp no?

strange python
#

refreshing a 5cp rupture with another 5cp rupture, it would be 7.2s

honest compass
#

thats what i've been doing lmao

strange python
#

actually the first rupture cp doesn't matter

#

just whatever cp you are refreshing with

honest compass
#

you shouldn't be refreshin with less than 5cp imo

#

lol

strange python
#

nah

#

iirc there was a sim that refreshed rupture at 3 cp and the difference was negligible

#

but that was legion. not sure about now.

#

but really the cp of rupture isnt a huge deal.

honest compass
#

sim is 5 mins, its possible they did 3 cp, because it ended with the sim

junior flume
#

Isn't it basically as close to 5 as you can get. Just don't risk over capping combo points

placid elbow
#

i always do 4 or 5 cp

strange python
#

i mean the sim was specifically made to test refreshing rupture at 3cp

junior flume
#

Yea that's what i've been doing too ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

strange python
#

finish at 4+

#

but a 3 cp rupture isnt a big deal

junior flume
#

Does anyone use poisoned knife, ever?

strange python
#

maybe right before toxic blade

placid elbow
#

No point in having 4cp and then getting a 5th. What you going to do, garrote? multiate again? throw a dagger?

strange python
#

you could 3cp rupture

#

use pk when out of range i guess

honest compass
#

i use pk when out of range

#

same with shuriken throw

junior flume
#

Yea same, was just wondering if there was other used ^^

plain thistle
#

rupture damage doesnt scale with combo point, just the duration, thats why 3cp rupture is not a big deal

strange python
#

you used to open with it ๐Ÿ˜„ remember that madness

junior flume
#

*uses

plain thistle
#

its even a dps increase in some cases

#

but for envenom always +4 CP

placid elbow
#

3cp rupture isn't a big deal as stated. I just like 4cp and 5cp because i have a rotation system going lol

#

it fucks with me

junior flume
#

Wait, why would refreshing at 3 be a dps increase? In comparison to letting to drop off or?

strange python
#

compared to having to mutilate again for 5

plain thistle
#

no, in comparison to using another mutilate to get 2 combo point

placid elbow
#

^

honest compass
#

the way i see it, the difference between 3 and 5 is 8 seconds, which is roughly 100 energy with some excess, thats 2 muts which is potentially 8 cp, you'd gain 6 cp net, over the duration, thats worth in my eyes

placid elbow
#

3 isn't an increase, it's only a convenience IF you're out of rhythm or got some bad RNG with Combo Points lol

junior flume
#

Hm okay, just thought the duration would make it worth it

plain thistle
#

no, it can lead to actually dps increase, but the difference is minimal

dense wave
#

It could certainly be an increase if you have a good sense for when a 5 man boss is going to die

plain thistle
#

for cases like: TB is coming you dont want to delay it, but you also want to have energy to get 2/3 envenom during the buff

strange python
#

well lets say toxic blade is about to come off cooldown, rupture is at like 9 seconds, you're low on energy and cp

#

slow typing. you get the message

plain thistle
#

that way you dont let rupture expire during TB but you also have energy for envenoms and mutilates during TB

#

and before we lost our Artifact, you could refresh rupture with 3CP during KB without letting envenom buff expire ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

honest compass
#

TB doesnt effect mut damage though

lone junco
#

Without sot the cp count for rupture doesn't matter.

honest compass
#

only the envenom damage

plain thistle
#

envenom and deadly poison damage

strange python
#

mutilate can proc dp twice

plain thistle
#

mutilate is the cp generator

lone junco
#

Env buff duration is short

#

Er

strange python
#

did sot scale with cp?

plain thistle
#

yes, 2% per combo point

lone junco
#

Ye.

plain thistle
#

5cp = 10%

strange python
#

lmao didn't even know that

lone junco
#

And pb scales with cp.

#

So without pb. And no sot. Garrote rupture is fine for short trash.

#

If rupture was even worth using.

#

What a fucking disappointment.

#

Ticks for 900 wut

honest compass
#

for trash i usually garrote 3-4x and rupture on on of those, then switch to on of the others

plain thistle
#

for AoE its not worth to rupture that much, in some cases its not even worth rupturing at all (especially with T21)

honest compass
#

in aoe, ideally you'd want CT

#

xdd

plain thistle
#

you can rupture 1-2 maybe 3 targets, if they live long enough

lone junco
#

At 120 we will clarify guidance for Ct usage.

honest compass
#

but rip changing talents

plain thistle
#

oh yeah, it will change a lot with lvl 120 and maybe AoE traits(?)

honest compass
#

i'm curious why we didnt get another set of talents for 120

lone junco
#

Current shit is weird. 4p20 is absurd.

honest compass
#

because of the azerite?

plain thistle
#

not sure if we already have a aoe trait that change gameplay ๐Ÿคท

honest compass
#

CT is the only "new" aoe trait

#

its not really new though

#

its old pasta

plain thistle
#

CT is a talent

strange python
#

there's one that gives you agility per target with rupture

plain thistle
#

talking about azerite traits

honest compass
#

theres no aoe

#

on azerite

#

its all ST

strange python
#

could see that making rupture more worthwhile

honest compass
#

at least not for sin

strange python
#

I just said one

#

to be fair is was nerfed by a lot

honest compass
#

tbh i cant wait for Shrouded Suffocation

#

3 cp from garrote + more damage on it

strange python
#

also the fok one

#

but it doesn't change gameplay just makes fok better

honest compass
#

basically the pvp talent

#

but less effective

strange python
#

yea

#

wonder if they stack

honest compass
#

would make sense

#

dreadlords and the 110 talent

#

stacked

#

with it

#

what i also cant wait for

#

rogues will finally get some sustain

#

out of combat

lone junco
#

The aoe ones ive seen are secondary on kill, agi on rupture, and sandstorm. Hope something is proceed on Ct hit spam.

#

Active cleave etc.

strange python
#

ct no longer has an initial hit but deals 50% more dmg

lone junco
#

Wot.

strange python
#

would be cool

lone junco
#

Not

#

I want a spammable aoe.

strange python
#

fok

#

fok

#

strange python
#

lmao

lone junco
#

FOK Ct FOK Ct?

honest compass
#

yes

strange python
#

yeah spam spam spam

#

ct no longer has a dot but deals 50% more dmg

honest compass
#

or you can put on dreadlords and use hidden blades talent for 1 big fok

#

xd

lone junco
#

Nah. I don't wait 45sec for a donger hit.

honest compass
#

50% less dot damage for 50% more hit damage

#

would make more sense

lone junco
#

Gimme something that can cleave 45 snakes at once

honest compass
#

fok

nimble tartan
#

Ct feels terrible to use in m+

lone junco
#

We are not in agreement on this

#

Out of E already?

honest compass
#

are you using envenom when you run CT?

lone junco
#

Some.

nimble tartan
#

Using any other button other than ct fok in big aoe feels bad

lone junco
#

Omr. That blade flurry. Blade rush is too good to be true.

nimble tartan
#

And it feels wrong and awkward bad playstyle

lone junco
#

Yeah. Gotta Ct them all.

honest compass
strange python
#

it feels good with mfd

lone junco
#

Better than my 4p20 garrote spams

nimble tartan
#

Think the good fix is ti lower the initial hit damage and put it in the bleed

dense wave
#

mfd tricks ct feels pretty good

nimble tartan
#

So u dont have to spam ct

lone junco
#

When garrote is top dmg. And you just garrote 8 things

honest compass
#

out of curiosity, mfd has a 30 sec cd, but a 1 min reset window

#

that doesnt make sense to me

#

lmao

lone junco
#

Imbed bota in rupture Will make me use it

#

@honest compass mark is used on the smallest shit trash first. Then when it dies you use again and again and again.

#

Aka mark spam.

honest compass
#

ok

#

but 30 sec cd

#

vs 1 min reset

strange python
#

๐Ÿคท

lone junco
#

It's literally just a global. If your thing dies.

#

Else don't use mark.

nimble tartan
#

When u mfd weave as outlaw ๐Ÿ‘Œ

lone junco
#

Mmm.

dense wave
#

It could technically reset from a previous use after youโ€™ve used it again 30s later. Edge case, but possible

strange python
#

think he/she just means it's weird that reset timer is twice the cooldown

nimble tartan
#

Nothing feels better

honest compass
#

it used to be 1 min cd, in wod

#

made sense to make it the same

dense wave
#

Although Iโ€™m not sure the new use doesnโ€™t override old

plain thistle
#

fuck i hate mfd

lone junco
#

I have a click when full cps and a boom when mark resets.

#

So you get. click boom click boom.

#

Made for some fun outlaw times.

#

@nimble tartan I will say, outlaw always feeels great. if you turn off the meter.

#

lots of shit going on.

#

some times though, dps is not going on

nimble tartan
#

i like outlaw more than sin in M+

#

for me it goes sub>outlaw>sin for m+ at 120

#

this tier's affix is really really good for sub rogue

honest compass
#

sub>outlaw think

#

i havent seen a sub rogue after prepatch

nimble tartan
#

ye sub has the perfect kit for the high end keys

primal lance
#

Idk enough about rogues yet so what does ct mean?

nimble tartan
#

i played sub this last mythic clear got some nice rankies

lone junco
#

is sub meta similar to the mosh, mark build, just resetting dance and symbol?

#

mongo dfa was fun, but jousting is a lot of pressure to put on 6 attacks per fight.

Question, is there any reason to be doing arena now in prepatch? considering gear and stats are balanced around 120 and not 110

Hey, during legion I used notters WAs, but now they seem a little in need of an update. Do you know if he will update ? I was looking at Mizeroks in the pins which also looks pretty cool, and I would be happy to go to that one if notters is not being maintained now ?

hey guys, maybe not the right place but this is where it's going.

elvui is just bars and placements and such right? I would still need some kind of dot timers and bag mods, and such?

civic palm
#

ELVUI does bags as well.

strange python
#

elvui and weakauras

#

wow raider starter pack

civic palm
#

I will forgive you for not including your Lord and Savior... BigWigs.

#

But just this once.

strange python
#

lmao

little marten
#

I tried WA with notters stuff, so different than need to know, couldn't get used to it

#

probably just didn't play with it enough

#

couldn't get is sized and positioned where I wanted it

strange python
#

took me a while to realize you can just click and drag a weakaura and move it to where you want.

#

i used to sit there and try to guestimate the coordinates.

little marten
#

is there a way to get each frame to attach to each other?

#

that's what I couldn't do and the space between them was driving me nuts

strange python
#

you can make a Group and add weakauras to that group.

#

but for that I guess you can just move them to be real close to eachother.

#

the Group thing makes it so you can move a bunch of weakauras together at once.

little marten
#

that's kind of what I would like to do, almost make it like 1 single frame

civic palm
#

There's specifically space between mine so I can see the fucking ground.

strange python
#

most weakauras you import are already in a group

little marten
#

so miz, if I import yours it will look just like that in a single go?

civic palm
#

Yeah.

little marten
#

ok, let me go try to delete what I have and import your settings...I'll be right back

#

ok, that worked the way I hoped! thank you Miz!

pastel vault
#

it's almost default frames but solid colors

#

different than the default ones if you compare with xerwo @9:25

strange python
#

Not sure but I know Joshpriest uses that and you can get his import string

#

from his stream

#

nnogga's ui is for subs only, omegalul.

#

hmmm upon close inspection josh's are pretty different

#

idk, good luck

gaunt girder
#

Hm

#

Im unable to type in the quick-questions channel

strange python
#

what's your question

solid nova
strange python
#

so that's why that channel is so quiet now

gaunt girder
#

ah

#

Well I was more curious as to the rogues who have been playing consistently unlike myself who took a long break would say for BfA PvE in the question: "Assassination vs Outlaw in Mythical+ as well as mythical raiding"

wise frigate
#

Whatchu mean now? Been like that since nearly the beginning AFAIK.

#

I personally will be playing Outlaw for both but that's just me. I enjoy the playstyle of BfA Outlaw a lil more than Sin.

strange python
#

nah scroll up to just before pre patch day and it was full of white names

gaunt girder
#

Like what intel do we have that would favour one spec over the other

wise frigate
#

Sin will prolly do a lil better on single target fights, while Outlaw might pull ahead on AoE fights.

gaunt girder
#

Im assuming Outlaw will have a superior approach to M+ due to heavier AoE

#

That's my assumption

#

Which also leads me to believe that Outlaw will absolutely outperform sin in M+ for that reason alone

strange python
#

they both have great aoe tools, outlaw is more burst and sin is sustain

gaunt girder
#

Which would mean that sin rogues should be by default superior in raids

#

Yeah thats my current assumptions & speculations

wise frigate
#

Like Connor said, Sin is the sustain AoE so for high fortified stuff, it could pull ahead.

strange python
#

there's not any single target fight in Uldir

civic palm
#

Not with that attitude.

gaunt girder
#

Note: I have not raided what so ever in Legion

strange python
civic palm
#

TUNNEL CONNOR, TUNNEL.

strange python
#

looks like there will be Uldir fights that will benefit outlaw, and others for sin

#

IMO the best spec will be the one you are best at playing ๐Ÿคท

gaunt girder
#

I disagree

strange python
#

we also dont know half the mythic mechanics

gaunt girder
#

For PvE its about knowing how to utilize your character if Outlaw outperforms Sin then i need to make sure I know the rotation by heart

#

Also true

crude raft
#

is blindside supposed to be used in the execute window? or do we still use it only on the proc?

gaunt girder
#

I dont mind sitting on a target dummy for 20h straight if thats what it takes to get 90%+ performance

strange python
#

use blindside instead of mutilate in execute unless you have venom rush talented

gaunt girder
#

O,o

strange python
#

Ghazzy the only people who need follow that mentality are the ones pushing top 100

gaunt girder
#

Not really

#

It's for the people who wants to perform the absolute best

slim olive
#

the game isnt that hard lol

gaunt girder
#

Ive been raiding top 100 in the past but most likely not in BfA, I still dont want to perform less than what Im capable of

civic palm
#

Also sitting on a dummy is akin to effectively no fights.

gaunt girder
#

Was merely stating that I dont mind taking the time it needs to learn a rotation by heart so that wont be a problem when things change mid-fight

#

wheat zealot
strange python
#

before the heroic uldir tuning pass I can't give an answer

gaunt girder
strange python
#

who knows what will change

gaunt girder
#

Obviously not, my question was what the expectations are ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

And it seemed to be the same as my speculations

civic palm
#

The expectations are that there will be a numbers change.

gaunt girder
#

Numbers doesn't change the baseline mechanics nor our current speculations.

#

Either way, appreciate the time guys โค

strange python
#

changing numbers =/= just changing dps

civic palm
#

The numbers change things if you are nerfed too far below the rest of the specs and their numbers are simply better.

Your mechanics be damned, as no one is without the capability to do well in ST, AoE, or Cleave.

strange python
#

could change my energy regen. that's a number. and that number could turn everything sideways.

civic palm
#

The winner is entirely based on who gets the better numbers.

strange python
#

๐Ÿ˜„

civic palm
#

Even though Hidden Blades is booty and KS/Naruto are better buttons.

hollow socket
#

Seems like blindside isnโ€™t really doing as much as mutilate. I guess it feels slow since it only gives one combo point and not too. Iโ€™m assuming itโ€™s going more damage at execute than mutilate.

#

Doing*

fleet whale
#

blindside should be buffed to grant 3 cps, 4 on a crit

#

like the HFC bonus

zealous lily
#

that would feel awesome

strange python
#

its already pretty good at 120

fleet whale
#

It's only "good" cause of crap gear though

hollow socket
#

I like the sound of that

#

Truw

civic palm
#

Yeah Blindside should be fine for a tier @ 120.

#

Unless we get traits for it.

fleet whale
#

But I would honestly trade away blindside

#

if it meant getting Kingsbane back

strange python
#

I like the proc, hate spamming it though.

lone junco
#

I'd trade HB for PoisonKnives.

zealous lily
#

shrouded suffocation should apply to blindside instead

strange python
#

i'd trade hb for practically anything.

zealous lily
#

but idk maybe it'd just make it overpowered ogod

lone junco
#

And that VR on mut is bullshit

fleet whale
#

idk what blizz was smoking to give sin the cloak as a talent

#

if anything sub should have gotten it

civic palm
#

Burst AoE.
