You want the option, you don't need it.
It does. But why would you only want one FOK per 45s
No adds outside of 1min spawns?
Take away the hit component of Ct. and I'll be sad. Pb is trash.
The chances of sin getting anything nice are slim to none though due to how broken it is in pvp
also, it's kind of funny going on arena forums seeing everyone wine how cloak, sprint, vanish, etc. are still off the gcd lol
probably get some serious nerf bat action when everyone starts crying like a bitch
Blizzard doesn't typically nerf due to whining unless there are numbers to back it up.
The only people crying are the clothies
There is one MW monk making like three threads a day on the us forums
about sin rogues
Like spamming or?
I don't know Miz, I can't think of another class that's been nerfed as many times as rogue has in 14 years
Tbh disc priest needs a nerf bat
I got nuked by 3 disc priests within 2 seconds of loading in
I wouldn't say spamming, just being a major B*$ch
If Rogue has been constantly nerfed over 14 then we'd be shit, but we're not.
and we've almost never been.
There have always been mass amounts of 2200+ rogues. There are barley even any people playing rogue right now. https://i.imgur.com/nen2pHl.png
Tbh with the tank agro being what it is
There is one of the many threads by that guy
You think rogues and hunters are god tier atm
you tell 'em, forum dude.
Stop bitching and start inviting
pre patch is fucked up balancing, what else is new
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20766836805 this is another favorite of mine
I just miss the good ole days of one shotting clothies with a barman's shanker
What about vendetta
ks memes were pretty good last week.
Vendetta is on gcd now
1sec full to dead mage.
vendetta is unimportant according to him
It’s the essence of sin
as is blades and a-rush it seems
but tbf legion was the only expac that vendetta was off the gcd... was nice while it lasted lol
they also forgot vial too
It’s literally the only ability that we used religiously
Maybe vanish too
But everything else was situational
What these forum heroes should be promoting is removing stuff from the gcd
not add more stuff to rogues so they can suffer with everyone else
Putting the big cooldowns on gcd was a bad idea
vendetta on the gcd ain't the worst thing in the world, but vanish, cloak, etc would be really bad
How you gonna do me like that
did you play sin before legion?
Because it's to fall in line with putting burst CDs on GCD across the game.
Why even touch gcd :(
defensives on the gcd annoy me alot more then vendetta
Would be BS to have our ONE button off GCD while everyone else waits but literally 1 moment.
Defensives on GCD would be cancer incarnate.
luckily rogues didn't really get hurt on that end
which is why arena heroes are crying on the forums
Yeah well defensives ARE YOU, much like DPS CDs ARE for DPS classes O _O
There are some defensives that should be off GCD though.
for tanks*
whoo hoo, pv que pop finally
pvq
Yeah better hate on them.
wait, the soak mechanic from the last boss in EoA was magic dmg right? did they changed it into physical?
Sure they don't get enough of that.
tbh i dont think anyone gives a shit about peoples sexuality in WoW, we all just wanna play the game
Yeah but some people are cunts.
kind of ironic considering what you just posted
i was talking about liberals @strange python
i could careless if you're gay or not
oh boy
go too offtopic with that pls
Go off the server with that pls O _O
a true rogue does not affiliate him or herself with any political faction
^^
I serve the horde
reported
Baddie.
I serve Sithis
I serve 2B's phat ass.

Also yes, extremely #off-topic
you're off topic
Yes.
@royal lantern it's always been physical btw
in what way is nightstalker better than Master Assassin?
you can vanish rupture and that entire rupture will do 50% more dmg
does rupture only snapshot from NS and not MA?
yes
How was stacking Dreadlord's deceit and Hidden Blades nerfed?
it was made additive instead of multiplicative
so there's no real reason to stack them anymore :l
maybe on a fight that needs burst aoe
its still a viable combination for fights that warrant the aoe burst but imo for progression purposes thats not really ur strong point as a sin rogue id much rather be st oriented even in fights like that
not gonna be nice log wise but a much better way to play for prog
on that note - is sin actually that bad for aoe?
burst aoe sure since we usually run poison bomb and it's rng as hell
but sustained aoe I think sin isn't particularly weak
in a real aoe fight you would use CT
it's not bad at all it's actually very good. not quite as much super burst as outlaw but a good showing compared to other rogue specs and other classes in general
Ct sustains longer than outlaw if you can maintain the garrotes. Blade flurry has gaps.
insignia + sephuz or mantle for BFA leveling? Im thinking mantle for wpvp
Running Crimson Tempest for high fortified keys. Should it be used on ST at all or just ignored?
seems a waste of energy to use on st or even 2 targets those cb and energy could be used better elsewhere
last time i looked at a single target sim for crimson tempest it didn't have any ct damage in it sitruc pretty easy to check what the apl is doing right now
there you go a st sim
with ct specced
I mean you gotta make the APL use CT ya butt 😛
hahaha
It is, that's why it's not in the ST APL 😛
Ct isnt on st cause its bad
yeah i figured if it was a dps increase to press it the apl would use it
I think it was still bad in ST before the on-hit got nerfed as well.
i think its bad enough that it wouldnt be a thing in any gear set right for pure st
but handy to have when some adds run in
Thanks for the info. Didn't even think to look at the current APL. I didn't figure that we would be using it ST but stranger things have happened.
The total damage of a 5 cp CT is greater than a 5 cp envenom.
So if you dont need to refresh envenom or rupture, use CT
and the mob wont die before the duration falls off
and you dont already have a CT up within pandemic range
do you have a sim that does that?
Hey guys, wondering if anyone has a clickable poison reminder WA (that works no matter the game language is set to) and also a pretty/fancy (maybe nice animations) Energy/CP bar WA too ?
Anyone ? 😦
Didn't find anything that's up to date for 8.0 though and the ones that are don't look very nice
And for the clickable poison reminder the only one I found works only if my game is in English since the code is all typed out in English instead of spell IDs
Have you tried the WA discord linked in #rules-and-guides ?
Oh I haven't, I'll try there thanks:)
@cold eagle also you can sort by date on wago
@fiery nest Already tried, nothing interesting that's up to date sadly
well interesting is subjective because there are plenty that are up to date
You can just change spell name to id?
changing to id should be language agnostic
If you're referring to voice chat, your mic is muted.
im in the wront thing
no, everyting above "voice channels" are text based only
if you're looking for a guild read through #recruitment
Hm?
🤷🏻
I regret clicking it already
Are there non-tank classes/specs that have defensive/mobility spells on GCD still?
I am sure that there are a few.
Sure
Dk has sprints both
Shaman has spirit walk
Also removes roots
So better than sprint
or worse as you can't choose, but yeah.
But forgot to mention those conveniently
Look we need to get to the soaks FASTER.
Rogues are the druid of this expac, randomly forgot to prune them when pruning everyone else.
how stupid is this dude?
so uh wheres a guild i can join
boy that was a fun morning read with my Tea.
which one
@warm parcel Back to the clickable WA thing from before for poisons, I know how to change spell name to id number in triggers and stuff, but when it comes to clickable WA there lua code and I don't know how to operate around that at all
You can just open the editor and find where the aura name is
I tried, it ended up just messing the WA all up there must be some more detailed stuff I don't know how to make work
But if youve never opened one maybe might take a few moments
So
Auras are usually after auraname="aurahere" right?
That would have to be changed to auraid="idhere" if I were to guess quickly
Or you can just change the name to your language
Shouls work too
Yeah I tried but there most be some stuff in the code language I don't understand that makes it not work somehow
Can I link the wago link here so maybe you can check to see what I mean ?
Yeah. There could be another name check in a different tab
LuL
Well cant at work
At the gcd thread bwhahahaha
Ah.. right
But did you ask in the wa help channel in the wa discord
I did, nobody answered, kinda skipped over what I asked
Should try again, when noone is in the middle of convo
So I kinda went with something I prefered less as a placeholder for now
Nobody was in middle of convo xd my question stayed up there for atleast an hour and someone else just asked something and they cruised over mine :/
honestly they can keep everything on the gcd on that post but put blade flurry off gcd and its fine.
Hey guys, I am new to wow and want to start leveling a Rogue but I can not decide between Outlaw Subtlety and Assasin can someone explain the main difference of these talents ? I am planning to do some raids not really hardcore and like world PVP a lot.
@wooden patrol Posting your question in 1 channel is more than enough.
@solid nova excuse me I tought maybe people really stick to their channel
For such a broad question, copy and pasting down every channel isn't necessary
As you'll find you'll get 3 answers of a very similar nature
@fiery nest having vendetta on gcd feels clunky af tho
pretty often found myself with vendetta unused when i thought i triggered it but gcd was in the way
lol im not even mad about that 😄 just wanted to chime in because he said blade furry off gcd
but it feels kinda weird now but thats more because off the change.. once you get used to it its probably fine
if I'm running Mantle, does Garotte snapshot with both Vendetta and Stealth for the Subterfuge bonus?
so I open from stealth with vendetta garotte and then vanish at the 6 seconds of garotte remaining and get two fully empowered garottes
I dont know what you are asking. Are you asking about the subterfuge bonus or mantle?
both

a) you get subterfuge bonus for every garrote you use from stealth
b) mantle does not snapshot
only subterfuge and nightstalker snapshot their effects
we dont have other snapshots i think
Imagine using NS rupture with perma crit
monkaS
so the first 5 seconds of the subterfuge garotte autocrit and the next 13 are just down to crit chance?
got it
yes thats what we are saying
👍
I never understood using mantle and subterfuge together, but Im a dumbo so theres that
i guess
in cases where you play shoulders, you dont play subterfuge
and vice versa
That would be my guess but uh 🤷
but why
is garrote that giga?
but if garrote is giga, why use shoulders
my head is imploding aaaaaaaah
I play shoulder bracer. Subterfuge Pb.
The garrote ticks crit up to 4K per. With haste you see ticks at 1.1 s apart.
That's raid.
what argo said
Shoulder sephuz. M+. For now.
My ns and subt. Are == to the single digit.
And subterfuge is impossible for me to mess up.
what, no
I didn't ask a question.
vanish garotte mut env mut env
I vanish with cps.
need max crit time on that garotte
At least both of my env crits. And on tb.

Is that blob playing the drums?
I love it, when senpai is using vanish
:angerydrum:
kiyaaaaaa
Insignia
Legs 😏
why is every elvui and weakaura outdated, i'm slowly going insane
It's almost like we just had a massive game-changing patch or something... 😀
Just write a new one 
no no no, people who post weakauras are obliged to keep them up to date 
ive only been playing for 3 weeks and played with default ui until today
so everything is super confusing
I do understand that. but you will get out of that state pretty quickly
I understand Outlaw are quite strong in big aoe with blade flurry and Sub is good at prio dmg, Is there anything Sin brings that makes them strong? I mean is it Single target or cleave they dominate?
We have crimson tempest
I thought it was nerfed to shit
speaking of WAs, is anyone aware of one that tracks all dots on multiple enemies?
Cripple poison is one of the better aoe slows still isn't it?
It is
I think people are utilizing Fmages for 65%
@grim sable probably better off using nameplates
Frost magea have it good too
Their kit is really good for council fights as well
Hard to say until the final tuning though
CT wasn't nerfed, you might be confusing it with Flying Daggers
Ok I thought CT was nerfed cause it was prioritized even more than rupture at some point
Slightly down when they moved it to less front loaded
Still is on aoe
or I think envenom, Think u wanna do rupture for energy regain regardless
Sorry, hidden blades**
Subterfuge is way too good to pass imo
You can if you spec into it
Yeah, subter'
I'd go subterfuge for garrotes on opener
Unless you have giant aoe fests
that garrote dmg is insane
and garrote silence effect that can only be thrown out of stealth also reduce enemy dmg right? does it work on bosses?
Don't think it works on bosses
If boss is silenceable
Only on actually silenced targets
Is that even a word 
I think it is, even if my phone keyboard disagrees
I don't think there are many silenceable bosses out there
Sin supposed to be one of the better melee specs at 120 right? I played it for basically all of legion and don’t really want to change cuz I’m stubborn
Noone knows
!8ball
Only tuning will tell
True
🎱
I mean
Its kit is really good though
From a defensive standpoint we're quite solid
We lost basically nothing
But dmg wise? Noone knows.
Sin lost their shield wall thru crimson vial
I was outlaw up until they destroyed it the week before EN
it was one of the thing that gave them edge over other rogue spec
and stayed sin the entire rest of expac cuz I didn’t like playing sub, despite its superiority
I mean, atleast one rogue spec will be comepletely viable for high end raiding
wait, what shield wall
The % dmg reduce from crimson
24% DR
oh must be pve
Was a artifact trait
Yea that was great
Pretty OP tho
ohhhhh snap already forgot
Rogue survivability will likely prevent me from ever playing a different melee class as my main
I mean our surv took a hit in BFA, but it's still ALOT better than alot of classes
@urban storm if you want someone to predict the future, I can.
Plz do!
With my luck sin will be great and then they nerf the hell out of it right before raid release
Servers up?
Assassin will be good for ST raid bosses due to vendetta. They will be pretty great for 2 or 3T fights. But lack in target swapping. They dont have personal cds to hard swap a prio add.
Outlaw has good movement and high cleave in bursts. They can bte/ps from ranged when running out/in, and with the right traits, they might not be garbage. They can target swap with the best of them if using mark.
Sub has good buffs for target swapping and ST tunneling.
All 3 will be decent defensively, but tuning will matter.
Expect to swap from spec to spec based on fight needs.
🔮
please do. I can finally quit this game then.
i wish that would actually hold true
but the majority doesnt really want that -spec swapping per fight
so it wont be a reality in the end
"it depends."
its a nice thought though
doesnt mean I dont have swords and daggers
pssh.
i mean hey we still have to swap specs to cleave like some classes just get for free
and then we probably will still lose on ST too
because reasons
it depends on where the pinch points are in the fight. whether enrage or adds or adds with enrage.
play just one, play all 3, play 1 spec with 3 azerite setups. I dont care. Im flexible and play around my gear at that time.
is crimson vial on the gcd?
why does that matter? you going to put it in a macro?
the fuck?
you had a question, i had a question? You press vial when you are missing hps.
yes it is @icy agate
don't be sarci, just answer his simple question. No need to be a smart ass
thank you Lou
no worries
really though, how could the play style change either way unless you are putting it in a macro
its a non rotational button.
you really could do with dropping the e from your name
nah im good
how would the play change either way?
it used to have an defensive mechinism
was a really simple question
just ignore him @icy agate
if it was on gcd you would be delayed until you can use it after using an ability
have you played this game?
ah. Ill just put it in the 3 sec of pooling between other actions
after an ability. reminds me of hpal. Assassin isnt that fast.
its what 30% waiting?
30% thinking 😛
im not even trolling for the sake of trolling. I dont bother with that. I honestly was wondering if I had been using vial wrong for 2 years. answer is no. I will continue to hit it when I need a heal,
after the open you stand around reading a book between actions
you wouldn't be able to 'hit it when you need a heal' if it was on the gcd
how do you turn a simple question into an argument
im not arguing, I asked if you would put it on a macro. calm yourself.
Cause waiting 0.5 second is too much .. 💤
0.5s could obviously be the difference between surviving or not
it really was a simple yes or no answer to his question lol
you're better off using a health pot or a healthstone if you're in danger of dying
I have healpot and healthstone bound to the same macro. cause im alch and sometimes dont have the big pots. but vial.
anyway. Im goode. thanks for playing.
lmao why are you talking about macros
it was a question if it was on the gcd for it if is responsive and used right away and not affecting fluidity
ok
you've got a screw loose bud haha
nah.
seriously is this your normal social interaction?
answering a yes/no question with a question on the validity of a simple question and requesting reasoning on why it was asked
🍿
Take it to pms jesus no one cares about the semantics
yes it is on the gcd
Ok Ken Bone.
yes on gcd cuz i keep missing it lol
📌
ok, so its on the gcd now?
it matters cause maybe you are stabbing something and you need to heal so you have to take a short stabbing break
or not.
you can also just look at the icon while you are using another ability to see if it is on the gcd or not
lou answered 5mins ago noobe
some things are still confusing e.g. orc racial is off gcd but arcane torrent is on gcd
cause after i mut, i could wait like 3 sec before next mut, or put the vial right after the second mut, or hit it before mut, ahh. I just want the heals.
you were too busy being argumentative to even read what you were arguing about
I dont trust strangers.
sry
but. I will take this into advisement. and hit vial when I need hps.
and not delay around before or after a mut
crimson vial is now on gcd - plz advise ! xD
because the flow of assassin is very slow, and unless I cap E, or drop bleeds, I have a weeks worth of time to hit vials.
that was me being silly
no offense lou. youre probably right. or not. but I appreciate your swift answer to his question.
i appreciate a clean shaven taco but it doesn't always happen - but it doesn't mean my intention is to macro it
🌮
lel have a good day fellow rogz
what did i come back to?
junk
you'll like never want to macro heal pot healthstone and crimson vial tho
time to go macro a gillette into my taco rotation... are those on gcd too ?
i don't think a single person even proposed macroing crimson vial
yeah
that would be dumb
thats what I thought. I wouldnt ever want to macro vial to anything. sounded weird. so GCD on vial doesnt really matter to me. I hit it when I need it, and figured I had missed 1 gcd over the past 2 years cause I was doing something wrong.
could have been the diff between a 98 and a 98.1 parse. :eeek:
so many gcd wasted 😦
I do the same with cloak. I hit it, when I need it. maybe I should delay it around my muts.

wouldn't affect % parses as all would be affected the same 😄
i mean, if I lived and someone else died. amirite
back to important things
like 4p20 and how awesome it is right now.
where can i see the talents for AoE and ST?
YES
why does it matter? you going to put it in a macro?
it matters because how else am i going to see the animation that they put hard work into ~ion
will make it easier to get a nice screenshot with your twitter cam
think of the Trials
Noobe: I bet you're nowhere near as nub as me... i'm so nub that i can't afford gaming keyboard/mouse and use all my Fn keys for my abilities
and F12 is my healing potion... i have so many screenshots of me dying
guess what's next to F12
that's fun. moment of death shots
it was supposed to make you lel and cry at the same time
its a good spot for oh shit buttons.
i got a cheap knockoff on amazon, but my thumb cant find the middle.
not bad, weighted too
but ive used the naga brand for 8-10yrs. so It's going to be hard to change.
yeah razer is OP but nice
naga dies a few times a night. so i have to unplug/plug mid combat.
so i have a backup mouse next to it.
i was looking at the tecknet cheapo brand but i'm not sure if anyone here is using it
i think i like the other one better cuz of the edged buttons, easier to feel imo
naga is a -- line on the 5 key. w/e. probably a good time to switch tho. raids are a month + out.
one of these are even more of a must with pvp... granted a good mouse won't make a baddie - good
lel
I needed back with pally. too many buttons: Heal offensive defensive self, defensive team.
but rogue is like 7 keys
with a few shift mods.
yeah i just cant get used to wasd moving... always used mouse... modifiers, forget it
im too old lol
ditch the keyboard bind everything to mouse
xD
you guys running crimson tempest for M+ or HB with cloak
are we allowed to copy pins and post them in other discords?
@thorny oasis i only use wasd on the left hand, left control for voice, and shift for mods. (occasionally 1 ,because the mouse is stuck). rest on right hand. its pretty easy there esp since the gcds. 1 2 5 1 1 Shift Middle, 4 1 4 1 4
etc
no pins are copyrighted and the fbi will come to your doorstep
but it would probably take a few weeks to get used to a thumb mouse
im taking that was sarcasm? lol
... its not copyrighted material mate
@gray saddle I use bracers, shoulders seem like a waste when you open with 3 garrotes
okay just making sure that was okay lol
yea go ahead
im still using shoulders but w/e
thanks!
M+ is a blend now. some cleave some st. same gear.
could prob get away with bracer sephuz
I might use shoulders with how quickly bosses die
my live raid best sim is bracer belt. but for reasons, I play shoulder bracer.
I guess I had an aneurysm while typing that.
g500 is my backup mouse.
not a huge fan, but it clicks when i point and press the clicker
so it is a successful mouse
i got one of those g's from a buddy as a hand-me-down and it died on me within 2 months QQ
but those buttons are boss
mine still going strong for 3 years
they are.
I'm eventually gonna get this for fps https://finalmouse.com/ultralightphantom.php
When the stakes are this high, every advantage counts. Experience the best esports mice in the world.
tried it at my friends house
literally feels like im not using a mouse
let's see
Just my hand moving
hmmm no extra buttons ?
nah I used to use that
dont like the texture
the coating
on the mouse
atm I use g pro
Other then 1 or 2 side buttons I can't understand why people think nagas are good
mmo mice are nice for mmo's tbh snake
my azz is poor af
not really needed for other games but it's nice to have extra keybinds at your thumb
There's a whole keyboard
move left stab right. its up to you. click all your skills and get a 100pct parse, bravo @dire spoke
clickers united
Real skill is clicking spells out of the book and getting R1
Real skill is with controller 
that honeycomb! imagine trying to clean it...
vacuum
👀
@wheat zealot have you seen a zempai stream?
his clicking is absurd. good luck keeping up with the mouse for sure.
What is the best opener for pvp atm ?
I will check him out later lol
the one where you do a lot of damage while they are stunned
subterfuge is best right now. so use that a lot.
thats quite a nice pvp opener
in packs try to garrote garrote garrote.
Always blows my mind how people click and perform at a high level
1+cp Env to spread that creeping env disease. its pretty funny how strong that is.
1v1 is diff tho.
Master assassin or whatever is pretty good for offennsive vanishs
it's okay at 120 but now it's meh
I still don't see why Nightstalker sims so close for me
3t sims are diff.

i gues master assassin will be strong at the end of bfa
why?
other secondary stats are higher and stuff
@dire spoke 👀
4p then toxic blade, vanish ,envenom,mfd,envenom . Super strong with master assassin
@lone junco don't tell everybody that clicking adds 15% damage to all abilities 
secret is safe with me.
i admit
and these 16,000 people
I click my interrupt
okay gud
clicking? /cast ´´skillname´´ is a 25%dps increase!
I click pots and drums. and kite.
i saw that warlock video where he typed a whole fight
/cast agony
etc
haha, guess affliction doesnt have to do much
he was busy for sure.
/cast Shroud of Concealment...wait guys, i think i made a typo!
and they all died.
/run RunMacro('Kick')
./giphy poop
well, higher APM for sure with that

hey guys can i macro my orc skill with vandetta or is it gcd?
it's off gcd.
why the hell dont you just try it and see?
Argonic, we dont do that here
What's the cd on orc skill?
Noobe, 2 mns
d be like kingsbane
hmm, should i use the blindside proc with 4 cp's?
or it might waste a cp?
I haven't even spec to bs yet. One day maybe Prob when crit tanks and ep uptime drops to 25%
Master poisoner or elaborate planning? For pve. Without bonus sets
Sim yourself.
depends what you want, weekly is live - nightly may have changes included already which aren't live on your server yet
sigh @cerulean trenchuerfang
iirc?
if I recall correctly
Oh that makes more sense.
Prob bis now.
im new as assasin rogue and im wondering which build too use for m+ ?
Ep/ subterfuge/Vig/prey/ cheat death/ tb. Ct.
It's in the channel header.
The noob guide.
@fringe ginkgo check the hero damage chart for 3T. That trinket is rather impressive.
lol
I lolled at least.
garrote everything
maintain ct/envenom
fuck rupture
garrote is 7k dmg per use, 5cp rupture is 5.5k LUL
omegalul
if its <5mobs you can rupture, above that you get more use out of spamming CT
dont really need it
garrote provides all the energy you need
and does all the damage
and procs sephuz
woah
I was thinking which legendary I should take as first
getting 1000 essence
Syphon ?
Shoulder imo. But what do I know.
if you play all 3 specs
go with mantle + insignia
its good for all 3 specs
if you play just one it depends
Specifically for leveling. It will get In The way of azerite. But shoulder is >> the traits.
It’s only five levels anyways
A little late to the naga mouse discussion, but i just want to say that last year, i bought a naga, to use the bindings for pvp. So i would have a1 a2 and a3 macros on the mouse for kick, kidney and shadowstep etc..
I tryede really hard for alot of games to get used to it.. but about 2 months later, i switch back to my stealseries sensei, because it is alot more precise/accurate then the naga.. and with the classes getting more simple to play and less spells, there should be more keyboard binding free.. i personally use shift modify for every buttom and ctrl for some :)
I love the Sensei. Used it for whole Legion, still working
Ive used 1 sensei for 5 years now.. working perfect and only visual dmg :)
Most of my gear is steelseries :)
I got a good mix of Razer / Steelseries but I find Steelseries gear more durable
I used Logitech for a long time, have steelseries now and I like it
Rip
F
yeah it looks weird :p
My sensei died so I went to the store and bought a new one
A moment of garrote for the fallen sensei
Except replace going to the store with opening amazon in a browser tab
🥕
I'm here
i feel like im doing something wrong, my sim dps is like 3-400 higher than im actually pulling on ST boss
im always keeping rupture and garrote up, refreshing them
keeping envenom up 80+% of the time depending on combo points and energy available
shrug
let me get my crystal ball
Ping?
Can't review your rotation properly based on just your say so. Post some logs it'll be more clear
bad luck with crits, bad trinket procs etc...can also happen
m e c h a n i c s
@gusty kestrel have you looked at Publix's WA set?
@soft wharf log review time.
You can take it. I'm on my phone. In exile.
Yeah. I would never ever support ui stuff. Hard pass. Use miz? Y/n Ok. That's the end of my recommendations.
ah, kk
i usually dont keep someones import for long til i alter it to how i like it
was thinking of starting from scratch and making one anchored to the personal resource display
Personal resource is weird for me. Doesn't it float with the camera
yahhhh. and if you get thrown around (tillers farm whipping vine) it goes crazy
Does EP snapshot garotte and rupture?
no.
lol.
here I was trying to snapshot that shit in EP windows, now I realize that's stupid lol
Yeah. Clipping Ep is best. So your env lands in Ep and extends the buff without capping E or dropping bleeds.
Stupid phone.
is that lord farquad
must be nice 😦 gratz tho ! 😄
My kingslayers are 259... so idk how theyre a 120% upgrade
Problem is kingslayers count as 2 weps so unless I use the 250 main hand and 210 offhand
Best legendaries for BFA for 'sin??
Is sephyrs good?
lots of competitive legendaries right now
i use sephuz/neck for pvp but legos are pref really
wrist + shoulder/sephuz seem to be pop in pve
Thanks! Need to collect wakening essence
i should say wrist or shoulder + sephuz
ya
ok thank you!
its pre patch none of it matters XD
yeah i'm assuming everyone's aware but you're right, never know 😃
pins
one more question
is there some macro so i can use toxic blade on same button as mut
so i don't have to think about it?
kay
devlin is a super nice guy too
should i raid with blindside?
got the wa working
they work for sub too @gusty kestrel
blindside is better then master poison?
now or bfa?
you can sim it but blindside is underwhelming at 110
but at 120 it's competitive
with the loss of tier 21 and different stat scaling
master poisoner loses value and EP is harder to maintain.
yeah and no :p
I already put it on my action bar to take space for it when it comes :p
same lol
🤷🏻 got it on bank, can make a screenshot too
If I'm simming for short M+ fights on addcleave
What's the best time to sim for?
1 min tops?
Or even, is it worth simming for something like that?
Cheers
Ilvl 209, I have one as well.
@vocal wave I don't do hectic add cleave. The mob timings are fixed. I use 8mob patchwerk. 20s. 4mob 40 sec. and 1 mob 2 min.
But you can see the damage graphs I the HTML output to verify id the hectic add cleave is functioning as you expect.
any word on how azerite traits rank up?
Not yet.
wondering how good engineering traits will be vs. what we get normally
I'm trying to get into Simming, and using SimC to sim every single talent for every single scenario so I can see myself 9not that I don't trust anyone else, but because I'd like to genuinely know
Outlaw pistol trait is looking I be very good Don't know about sin yet.
@vocal wave
-
Raidbots is great. Pay them if you can.
-
Simc addon is a must.
-
Pawn weights are cool but don't account for trinkets. Or effects like melandrus.
-
You can (should) disable bloodlust for the trash sims.
And it's really neat to (I think). Max out the 20sec trash pulls. 5 mob - 50 mob. Something can pump out the dmg.
I'm using RaidBots atm, got premium and set it all up for my guild atm. So using that heavily. The issue is I cannot sim every single talent option, which I KNOW would be long, but I'd just liek to put them all in into one massive sim, and then sim separately for patchwerk, adds, heavy movement, so on so on
Thinking I may need to use simulationCraft for that though
So far I've seen 80k trash in a single bfa pull. I'm looking forward to them.
You can do that with copy profiles. But the middle rows are trash. And also the stat weights for each build vary too much to just mush them all in under the same gear profile.
That makes sense I guess
Ep. 39,27,35
Mp . 25,22,52
But I can use my current gear as an idea of where I could be, no?
Best bet it to make a smart decision and start from there. Intuition first.
Aka ask me.
Can't just mush random gear in a marine.
Top gear is nice tho
Esp when comparing 9 trinket combos
Well, you'll surely never be able to get the perfect gear and stat balance to sim perfectly, right?
I did for legion.
These are the codes for powers: https://github.com/simulationcraft/simc/blob/bfa-dev/engine/dbc/generated/azerite.inc
So if I were to try and push as much as I could for my specific gear, could I not use my current gear as a start?
But we didn't have changes for a while.
so manually change those up and do like top gear with raidbots
i might go through on my beta character and record differences with realistic premythic stuff to try to figure out what i would want to do for 1st mythic week
You just can't do top gear and talent tests at the same time.
I see
and then if i do i'll poast here but i will probably be playing multi specs.
no you can't but i think some will be safe to assume
Some traits are obviously crap also.
Do you have the profileset for all the rogue talents atm Noobe?
Correct me if I say stupid shit, I'm still really new to simming
There are fancy tools on github to be used on a local simc.
For raid bots i use talent compare and keep hitting the plus until all relevant combos are taken. Drop iterations to 30k and you can add a few more
Else use advanced paste and use the copy command with the names changed and talent string changed.
Cheers
Guys I've got a problem... 🤔 I simmed 4.2 k dps as assassination but against the dummy my dps is 3.2 k... Is it normal? The sim simulate a fight considering food, potion, tonic? Or am I fucking up something?
Oh nice
Oh let me check and try
Found it! Let's wait and see if I'm doing everything right lol
@alpine moss dummy contact has some problems. like dealing with vanish, it may reset your meter. and bracer (belt) time
@lone junco I'm running insigna and mantle
should I stop going for haste after a certain amount?
Sitting at 30% haste 35% crit right now
@alpine moss vanish always messes up my meters when practicing on the dummy. Maybe watch it then to see if it does.
Btw now the sim is right. I'm doing everything right
@gloomy sorrel i havent seen stat weights keep haste at the top that far up. make sure to re run them often. 25-27 is where ive seen them drop below crit.
but. your gear is not my gear.
post a raidbot if you rerun weights, id like to see that.
https://gyazo.com/751a2c7fc4afaf354372773d4de599e5 this is what I'm looking at now
I'll just start socketing crit
well....focus a bit more on crit now i gues
@gloomy sorrel
#1. sepuz proc isnt in the sim.
#2. Nightly/100k is pretty standard.
#3. those crit/haste numbers are really close. try ditching that dog trinket for SSF if you have it
(the varith scourgewing trinket)
Yeah I had it forever ago but vendored it like the rest of everyone else xD
Just did ABT today no luck.
yeah it was way longer than that. But I'm going to check
!opener
np.
damn it 😄
!depends on legendaries.
So is assass slower now? Been a while since I’ve played rogue
it will be slower after bfa lvl squish.
we have 4p21 feeding stuff now, and reasonable crit rates.
True enough
15 crit will be pretty gross
esp after the oranges die.
anyway. thats why we have outlaw/sub/sin. one of them will be good at any point in tier.
outlaw bones can carry a lot of secondary loss.
feels faster to me and i cast more per fight than i did before prepatch.
but that's going from 0 haste to a lot of haste so it's exactly what you would expect.
M+ with sephuz is like hyperspeed with assassin
beta with low secondaries is much slower.
well, more haste=dots tick faster=more energy
yeah but people want to believe all specs are sloooow with BFA.
i have 3%haste and its pretty slow right now
that's slow. 😦
right now is really really smooth, but the 0value rupture is weird.
should be in the 22-27% haste range.
ye, rupture feels weird, its only for energy generation wich is a bit stupid
allright, never saw that list, but its really on auto attack lvl? wtf is that shit lol
if you wear melandrus ring, it buffs white by 10%
this is the standard output from raidbots
on the summary page, to the right is an HTML link.
in that is all the goodies.
thats where you go if you want to see what your robot is doing.
Best way to do aoe for sin in m+ is crimson tempest or FoK?
both
subterfuge garrotes into CT fok ct fok etc.
when the target count drops you can do env and ruptures, but with about 5x, that ct is ideal
Thanks great info.
if you meant hidden blades fok talent, No. it's shit.
So is there a situation where I should be using Elaborate planning
Or is it just always
I'm running MP rn
So someone needs to explain me, how is ravenhold ring still used by a lot of ppl for the single target sim, when for assa in most if not all of those sim its always below 2% dmg, wouldnt using the 2% dmg ring better in most case?
Sorry to post here but I can't post in quick questions. How do I get permission to post there?
lol
you need a role
you need to assign a spec to yourself
ty
@hollow raptor tbh. the insig and sephuz have very high crit and haste. If you dont have those stats in rings, you might benefit from them.
at the high end, most are still wearing bracer, but boot is kapoot. shoulder doesnt really do much with subterfuge. belt is shit. hat is flat. cloak is broke. leavs insig and sephuz. sephuz wont proc on bosses.
for me. specifically, i have some very high crit/haste gear. insig doesnt beat shoulder. So I run shoulder bracer
um shoulders are rather good even with subt. you can pandemic vanish at 6 secs left on garrote to get a juicy one
in a silo, bracer belt.
for me: subterfuge open is ticking on vendetta, then Tb vanish env garrote mut env mut.
i didnt ask for the opener just commenting on your "shoulder doesnt really do much with subterfuge"
its def not the poison bomb carrying anymore.
but yea
this is a shoulder sephuz. and you can see the opener is wonky
but he did well.
Would insignia come into play only at low haste/ crit? Also during a multi-target fight would that outweigh FoK spam in favor of Mut?
Our last tier talents are pretty shit, when it should be the other way around.
Right now running Insig bracers, but considering going back to Bracer Shoulders
poison bomb does flat 2.5% damage no matter the length of fight
Prydaz / Sephuz simming highest for me, Prydaz / Shoulders 2nd. Anyone else getting high sims for Prydaz?
