guess we just need an answer from @warm parcel
i dont see why its bad to do on pull anymore tho tbh
from stealth?
you mean from stealth?
Prepull
naa
thats what the guide says
your guide is wrong then
Yea, sin guide 8.0
nah its still there
THen I didnt update 
Confusing the masses lol
hold on
yeah it was discussed at some point so I set it as default
Itll be edited 325 times anyway postlaunch
so we just tell people the quickstart guide is correct?
does the apl still vendettta pre pull? didnt it used to?
Im in no charge of quickstart
standards apl
Im changing the actual one rn
cool
Actual one doesnt have ven prepull
Its caching problem
This came up earlier too
The guide now caches for up to 2 weeks I think
Should prolly change that for launch huh
when do the add chapter 3 of the lordaeron scenario stuff
saurfang? launch day
the heart of azeroth quest?
yep
launch day
so it ends at org and that's it?
yup
ye I thought we would go get saurfang from stormwind
but that's part of the intro quest to zandalar
Try resetting cache and reloading guide
someone posted on wowhead that it was set for 8/07
Imma have to poke about this again
ty for your time weak
also can you no longer go and retire your artifact for the 75 trait?
:l wanted to see that quest
aye this guyt
2nd post
dunno, they said while leveling in legion content you will still get your artifact and it will gain power in fixed rates
according to that comment, chapter 3 is the undercity scenario
Ohh wait right.
I misread that completely
the 3rd* comment.
I guess that one doesn't actually say when
ah
its not like many people use the website guide anyways

should be launch day, doubt they would give us the heart of azeroth beforehand
Youd be surprised how many click the header link above
That gets plenty clicks on patch days
rogue always stronk
as strong as someone that eats their oatmeal every day
remember to heat up your cereal
so as a returning player from nighthold...uh
wtf is there to do for me prior to launch =/
sylvanas questline
and morally grey
morally whatnow
hes memeing
sylvanas does questionable actions
sylvanas is a badass bitch though, hope we keep her lul
same
sylvanas 
Guys
no
Anyone know can I hide micro menu and bags
what
With move anything
never has a dead person been fapped to so much
what
sylvanas is technically undead rite
From bootom right corner
i forget
blanked for a bit there
only if you send me ankle nudes
deal
I wanna upgrade my legendaries to make leveling in bfa fast
๐ฆ
need 2 leggos for each toon
1200 of those token things
finally found a class where i enjoy all 3 specs, hallelujah ๐
haha @lone junco gets it
๐
@river quarry run lfr and use reroll tokens. You can get 150 essence if you dont get gear when you reroll or what ever they are called. Makes getting legos super easy. You can also get some from world quests and the daily caches
its worth use CT in da dungeon?
yea it's great
venom rush or toxic blade for pve?
Tb.
alright ty 
Ct is awesome. In large mythic pulls I subterfuge garrote 4 targets, rupture the primary target, fok to 4+cp then CT then spam fok/envenom till CT refresh keeping up as many bleeds as possible
at what size group is it better to just spam CT and never envenom assuming all targets same priority
That i am unsure of was gonna try and do some testing tonight and see
at 5 cp, envenom do 80% of attack power, and CT do 24% plus bleed, so at 4 targets u do more dmg with CT then envenom
3-4 is a good idea. But clipping env buff will help with E after we lose tier 21 bonus.
Can't post in #385145484559253506 , is there anything that was done to select gear for your based on your stat weights ? I know DH have a google sheet file for that.
Do whatever you want now. But there will be solid rules at 120
@tiny vapor read the pins in #385145484559253506
And the stat weights must come from your own gear. Raidbots.com can do that for you.
@wheat hinge miz has some I think they are listed in the pins here.
I know that of course, been simming since MoP, there's nothing in the pins of #385145484559253506
@lone junco ty got them ๐
Only problem with spamming CT is you miss out on the poison application bonus from envenom. Or does fok not get effected by the envenom buff?
Doesn't pins in qq tell you how to post there?
@slender peak envenom helps apply the DP. So the FOK condition procs of vw. And the DP damage. There is a point where raw CT beats anything else. But. There will be a range that may have you weave in env on the priority target for buff.
envenom affects fok. that's why it's not as straight forward as skill x does slightly more damage at this point, so it's better.
well so real question is PB or CT 
depends PB had superb parses on high command bc everything is so stacked
Lies.
i care about m+
yeayh then CT
M+ is only Ct for now.
ct + sephuz ๐
so its not better on stack ads
Just dontneed to use it on boss
@lone junco (Yes, sorry !)
sephuz + shoulders?
bracers
imo shoulders are mostly a waste since you spend most of it garroting 3 times
ok ok
plus we tend to have high crit right now anyway
could hidden blades perhaps be usefull in lower m+ were stuff dies fast
or just completely trash everywere
can anyone explain to me why Subterfuge is being used ST as Ass for ST
it does the most damage?
over NS
garrote and rupture have about the same base dmg now
100% extra damage is more than 50%
Garrote does good damage and any situation u can put 3 garrotes on anything make a it immensely better then NS
added benefit is when there are 3 targets or more that's a lot of leaky bois with subterfuge
well an empowered rupture does last longer than an empowered garrote
also I believe the recent simc profiles used exsang/nightstalker
but now I see it's back to subterfuge/tb
๐
if ure spec'd crimson tempest, do u keep the debuff up on ST?
no
uh random but does anyone know what the pre-reqs are to getting the class mount quest off lilian voss?
can't see her around
finished the ToS island quest chain
ToS island?
and finished ya orderhall quest chain
Finish the Broken Shore Quests
oh god the entire orderhall chain?
that area where tomb of sergeras is doesn't know the english name^^
ty nira^^
yeah broken shore and orderhall must be completed
a while ago they "buffed" orderhall quest. now its faster then to begin of legion
should ya just take 2-3 days(cause of missions to take and the invasion that ya need to do)
ya can be glad that we haven't the questchain for mount from WL's that taked hours to finished xD
hm the bloody druid one eisnt even there
and i did broken shore on the druid.
as well as the entire order hall quest chain
only thing I haven't done is argus?
reputation is high enough of legion judge(that demon hunter faction)
?
ya don't need argus for that
ya need that stage before exalted for that faction IIRC
AV?
achievement^^
done everything up to self-fulfilling prophecy
how annoying
gives me something to do before bfa i guess
but on two chars...
im cringing
yeah so ya missed something
2 things left i guess on druid?
do it then ya should have mount quest
is that achi acc wide
so if i finish it on druid = works for rogue to get the class mount quest?
or D:
acc wide yeah but ya need to do it on every char that want mount-q
every char must do broken shore q-chain and order hall q-chain and got enough reputation for q
for more questions better to go #385145484559253506
lol I somehow don't have strike them down which is "slay 100 demons on broke shore"
pretty sure I done that game.
did they add extra criteria or something?
you can do the 100 demon part in 2 minutes
yeah.
go to azhara
imps^^
did they add this in after broken shore came out?
aszna*
no he need to do it on broken shore
no it was always there
cause I've done all of broken shore I'm amazed these aren't done

ahhh nvm I figured it out
Hmm, sometimes i dont get combo points after using mutilate. Im a missing something or wtf is this
@simple portal Yeah the empowerment should be working unless something broke.
do you replace mutilate with blindside spam on execute or keep only clicking on proc?
use blindside in execute unless you have venom rush talented
but no one uses venom rush
and it procs, are we still on that?
cheers
I know there are recommendations in pins but atm what do you guys use legendary wise?
Are we still using simcraft to generate pawn strings?
I noticed that SC is on like a 7.3 update right now
What else would you use
any combination of shoulders, sephuz, insignia, bracers are common
hello. boosted rogue to 110 few days ago, tried all 3 specs and can't decide between outlaw and assassination for world pvp and bg's (I don't intend playing arena much and I will probably raid on other main dps). can you help, what spec is more friendly for newcomer for occasional pvp play?
assassin is pretty simple
what is more important to maintan EP or envenom>
?
Not sure how it is in PvP, but with assassin you have more 'downtime' than outlaw
both really simple, though
Do you need a PHD for Sub?
i get it.
thx for answers boys, assassination it will be then ๐
What is the go to neck enchant these days, Trained Soldier?
Btw if i sim with sephuz does raidbots sim it with or without proc?
Satyr or Claw
oky
Does anybody know if my Sephuz sim calculates the proc or just raw stats?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/j1C7Biy4BkfDoYykf1ejFr
Bc sephuz outsims my ravenhold for some reason ๐
stats
Oky cool but proc is not simed here right?
Sweet ty mate!
Could someone explain to me why Subterfuge is the better talent? I don't understand how to use it
Is it just for the +Garrot dmg?
The garrote cooldown is pretty nice too on adds.
The using of stealth abilities for 3 seconds after
its really good with multiple targets
Ok that's what kinda confused me
is it better to spam garrotte or use garrote then mutilate?
garrote then mutilate
pressing garrote twice simmed to be like a 1% dps decrease by fuu if i remember correctly
Also, what leggo should I aim for?
read pins
ah okay ty.
Even though it's less then a week, lol
also leveling pins in #385145484559253506
leveling legendaries, I mean
So, without the one talent, cant quite remember it, our only aoe is the knife spinny thing?
Well the final talent is all AoE stuff
So... whatever last talent you take is an AoE ability
But yeah, other than that just fan of knives
Yeah coming from ww seems really weird pressing just one button when dealing with trash ๐
I mean... you press more than one button during trash >>
Just have only one actual individual button that hits all the mobs around you
Or 2 if you take CT
how is sin looking in BfA?
ah thats bad ass
a bit like john cena
in BFA?
totally somewhere in the mix... other specs are definitely either similar in DPS or above or below us in DPS
well im sorry but my crystal ball is not working properly atm
Coming back to the aoe subject
atm i pretty much spam knives until i have like 4-5 combo points and try to rupture as many enemies as possible
should i use combo points for something else when Aoe-ing trash?
crimson tempest
dont have that talent, using poison bomb
garrote 3 times from stealth if you have subterfuge
also maintaining env buff is good
well if you know that you're gonna go up against an AoE situation
esp. if you have tier 21
yeah true.
so many fotm rogues lol
sorry didnt know that rogue is fotm atm i will play hunter bye
Just feels like everyone's playing rogue cause lots of people coming back from break and thinking of trying new things.
Okay bye then ๐
^^
Also... not actual increase to average connected accounts.
Don't think we're FotM by any means. Or will remain that way in BfA if we are now.
dont know i took a long break in legion and now i looked for a new main
lvld dk / warlock /druid
at least rogue i enjoyed the most
rogue will go the way its always gone. 1. right now rogues are in a really good place. almost broken
- they will get tweaked down over time and most ppl will quit and move to another spec.
- those that stick with it will be g2g once they get their rebuff later in expac
people thinking pre patch is indicative of bfa performance ๐ค
that was my point.
i hope they continue to do well but since im the only rogue in my guild im not swappin any time soon
I mean, it doesnt matter. There's always been atleast one spec of rogue that was on top
thats the best way to be
unless you're in a world first Mythic raiding guild
it really doesnt matter
I picked up rogue incase I had to play it
I doubt that I will need to
but just incase, it was pretty easy swapping from feral to assassination
raid utility is bonkers for rogues
but outside of like a top 100 mythic progression guild, I don't think the switch will be mandatory
It wont be, and if you're in a guild where the Raid lead tells you to swap; its a bad guild
leave immediately
no one ever tells you directly to swap, they just imply that your raid spot is in contention until you cave
usually citing bullshit reasons
is not looking at damage meters the way to go unless you are in a top 100 guild?
did i read that correctly?
i dont care about damage meters. 5 years ago i looked at all meters i wanted to be the best not what me enjoyed most
you can do well on damage meters on bad classes
not looking at damage meters is just handicapping yourself
yes
i will do my best as Damage Dealer
DPS meters are supposed to be a guide for your own performance, but instead people use it to gauge their worth against everyone else in the raid
i will perform in a good way thats my job as DD
its a mentality that bleeds into the community
because everyone wants to make world first hardcore guild problems their own
^-
the best spec is the one you are best at playing
comparing yourself to a diff class is like comparing a monster truck to a ferrari both good but at different things ๐ use logs instead and if you use dps meters use them to dig not just to see the straight up damage done
dps meters are a near requirement for pugging difficult content
you need to know if one or more of your group are not pulling their weight
i think all specs have their pros and cons and thats the interesting aspect imo
If you're in a +15, and one of your dps is barely pulling 2k dps
that's something you need to know
Thats not in question, whats in question is swapping classes because their not parsing the highest on raid encounters.
theyre
it was a response to this
usualy a waste of time by the time its geared and you're efficient at it its nerfed or something else is better
I was talking about Mythic raiding with a guild; you're talking about pugging M+
which is fine
It applies to both. Raid leaders need to be aware of who's pulling their weight too
the analogy just worked better with m+
If people are dying, how do you know who's failing? Maybe it's the dps standing in poop. Maybe it's a 1 button healer. DPS meters are not solely for you to rate your own performance
๐คฆ
Yes and no
thing with parses is you can parse high while cheesing to oblivion doesnt mean you did good for your raid tho ๐
As with everything
A little of this and that combined with analysis
It requires you to be aware and do your homework
Anyone have a good weakauras collection for sin updated for 8? I'm terrible at making these things and my old ones blew up. Lol
That's what they're there for :3

should have a bot that just types 1 of those 2 every time someone asks something lol
if i came the first time here and saw the "Check the Pins" Icon than i realized that there are a "Pin" function ๐
didnt know that before
If your dps is ever low enough to be a detriment, then yes, it will matter. but otherwise, if you're doing mechanics correctly and you're meeting dps checks
forcing a swap seems silly
After next Wednesday I'll consider anyone who's 340 or below unqualified to be in a group with me
You keep your smelly undergeared body away from me.
welcome to pugging M+ XD
You mean M0
okay im out than @weak pine bye
You guys should have a bot that auto responds with
after you input a certain command.
LOL
wew
now all we need is for blizz to let us tmog the fish daggers and we'll be set for world domination
fish dagger?
yup
name? ๐
also we need outlaw rogues with double cookies tenderizers
dark herring @paper horizon
lol
What we need is a dedicated raid group that will level to 120 during the first 10 hours and then go disrupt the other faction to oblivion
we shoukld move to OT ๐
are you saying talking about assassinating isnt relevant ? ๐ฎ
-_-
Pull up dictionary and copy-paste the meaning of assassination here
And then say talking about killing the other faction is not relevant
with herring cause "herring seeks your life"

Germany - 02:22 ๐
I can't wait to slay as many alliance scum as I possibly can. I'll make you regret that 10% warmode boost.
For my warchief.
For the horde.
what afghanimal said
Ditto
we beat him @weak pine Hi5
we will see you on alliance side ๐
not really for the horde
argonic just gonna sit and quote c'thun from 110 - 120 lol
sad you cant kill other hordes with warmode
Btw It's 3:25 for me
I'd pretend to be their friend, gain their trust, get into kinky roleplay and when they take off their armour stab them in the throat and steal all their valuables
ur such a rogue
its the way of the murder hobo
What if there are other enemies nearby?
kill them too
What if he's hiding a strong power?
warcraft has gameplay 
you have to do a cloaking check
hide your powerlevel
and a critical check
But it's over 9
and a charisma check
RP rouge. Just
their face.
and see what your dual wield and offhand penalties are
I'd rather check my watch so I know what to tell their mother once I deliver the victim's body to her doorstep
I haven't done the corpse eat in like 6 yrs maybe.
any orifice can be violated if you're less than averagly endowed enough
and any bones left i roll cause you know 
Maybe 10
My pfp is a freaking tentacle monster
I could bind it for leveling at least.
you can even make your own @lime path
i knew i picked the right choice when rolling rogue
Yea, blizzard already nerfing us
day after he swaps #4% nerfs
Better reroll into arms warrior 
LOL
lul
go fury and use daggers
Can't wait to dual-wield 2-handed daggers
no no @weak pine its big daggers not 2h ones ๐
if we call them big daggers we wont have competition cause noone wants daggers
The point of having 2 massive daggers is the flavour text obviously smh
Also the fact that 2-handed weapons have higher stats
Its too bad its all personal loot now, i'd really like to see warriors compete for Staves and daggers
DH with daggers Omegalul
XD
people already crying cause they cant tmog their precious glaives
Casual problems
funny how they managed to look away from crunchieroll long enough to notice tho
Who cares about personal loot
My guild uses aided master loot: Everybody has an addon that announced any gear drops they can trade and after that it's time for loot council
Obviously for the first week there will be no loot since I'll already be 380 before that
Why am I still up at 3:37 AM? I don't even know myself
380...?
id say cast your call of the wilds and tuck in
Sweet dreams y'all, because I just might make them your last
pretty sure the titanforge cap pre raid is 355
3 8 0
M0 is 340 is it not?
i was thinking the same, but they are BOP, so you can just buy them from someone right?
Lol if you wanna pay for em
but i wanna do LW to get the 2 pieces of 355 gear i think it is
yeah but idk how it works on in bfa
i was thinking herb alchemy
just for ez money @ start of bfa
when flasks and pots are overpriced asf
Herb/inc until 120, lw/inc until exalted then alch/lw rest of exp
I mean alch/inc until exalted, to do transmutes, then lw once exalted
Just a small tip
If you care
Reputation is gonna play a pretty huge role in progression, so if you want to maximize that id pick up inscription early
i never used inscription lmao
what does it even do
it inscribes things
Glyphs and rep
hm
that sounds good for hmm
a healer
does it help with gaining reputation or something ?
Pick up inscription early, then swap to what you want once youve got the rep you need
@strange python literally read 6 lines above what you said
i did
noice
Really helpful with the answers though
@strange python Inscription makes contracts which you can use on yourself, to make world quests give you extra rep for a chosen faction
You wanna run the ones for CoA as each level of rep gives you +15 ilvl on neck (fri/hon/rev/exa)
considering WQ itself gives 75 rep
If you do every WQ every 8 hours, from start to finish, with contract, youll be exalted (+60 ilvl on neck) for mythic release
yeah i'll probably go with inscription for the start
but i'll end up either with alchemy and herb or jewel + enchanting
lol
Didn't it get nerfed to 10/wq?
jewel + ench made so much money for me in legion
uh, not sure
i just seen 25 on forums
could be old post tho
Medivh's guide says it's 10 now
Yeah really good.
Still want it though, as youll be doing shitloads of WQs every day
true
it adds up to alot, given you more time to farm AP once done
im gonna spam every WQ there is for the first weeks of bfa
or focus on alts
then i'll get bored
They buffed rep from CoA specific quests to compensate, but I doubt it's equal
If you're going for cutting edge, and want to be prepared for the release of Mythic Uldir its a good idea
It's overkill.
Really depends on how high you play
Just doesn't take that long to get where you need to be per character.
Then dont take it
where did the pre nerf data come from
You wont be exalted without doing almost every WQ with contract from early launch
do you guys know
Depends really what level youre playing
You don't NEED to be
There's some gear with 50% good stats.
But +15ilvl to neck is nice
It helps for sure.
it gives some more stats but it's not big of a deal
Really depends on what raid we're looking at
is it a 1 week clear like EN, having +60 ilvl first week is more important than if it takes a couple weeks to down ghuun
true
As youll get exalted second week probably without the "extra" effort
The faster you get exalted the faster you unlock high ilvl gear that fills slots around azerite armor
on beta neck is rather 'whatever', because at beta's max level (370ish) neck is pretty weak compared to other parts
in terms of stats
Im having my main (shaman) and rogue at exalted for mythic week atleast
a shaman!
doesn't the necks ilvl determine how many traits you can unlock on azerite gear?
I thought I remembered reading that somewhere
No
Huh ok, guess I was mistaken
Its just like the netherlite crucible. you unlock a + ilvl upgrade but its not directly tied to any azerite traits
its just a weaker arcanocrystal brother
Neck ilvl is just pure stats, Azerite power is the grind for traits, where first 2 are crucial for mythic, third will help, and fourth probably unobtainable early on
im glad they are keeping this grind system
Some people claim there's not enough.
well they can't make it too grindy because a lot of people would cry
Sure.
People are also missing the other activities around raiding and dungeons.
but having SOMETHING to grind like artifact power in legion or azerite in bfa is cool
always something to do
35 pre ToV was pretty harsh
yeah nh was harder from memory
I was far from 35 pre ToV, but got 54 without really trying that hard?
Like people running maws straight for hours on hours to be ready for mythic tov
hard for people who only log in to raid and afk in dalaran.
Going from afk in garrison wod style too the grind in legion was rough.
do pvp and pve talents differ? i see this for single target sin 3210021
would you use that for pvp and pve?
No. PvP is going to change depending on scenario
So for starting out lower M+ in a few weeks should i go outlaw over sin?
since stuff will die fast
Why will it die fast if everyone is shitty geared?
because lower lvls keys have mobs with low hp, makeimg them susceptible to front loaded AOE burst
But lower lvls keys wont be low compared to the gear youll have at the beginning
even if they don't die in 3 globals, they're not gonna live long enough for bleed ticks to really pull their weight until you get to probably +6 or higher
even with baseline gear, a lot of specs still have decent frontloaded burst
and all that will mean is maybe the gear will inhibit you on week 1 or 2
but M+ doesnt even come out until week 4 or 5
and by then everyone will be normal/heroic raid geared
which means a low mythic+ key will more than likely not pose much trouble even for the slowpokes
but as always, everything is subject to change and tuning
all we can do is speculate based off beta information
Then why would you do a low key if your gear is at a level to do higher keys which award better gear?
so who knows if it will hold true in 3 weeks
Did they change the way the key system works? don't you need to do a key to push it if you didn't get a higher one the previous week?
so the first week that keys are available, everyone's gonna start with keys earned from Mythic 0 runs
meaning you're inevitably gonna do a 1, 2, or 3 key to start with
unless they drastically revamped the system and I'm unware of it.
Yeah, but at that level being sin or outlaw doesnt really matter, why bother changing spec and gear and setting up keybinds etc for 15 minutes of a quick key is what i mean
I agree
which is why I'm disagreeing with your earlier statement that things won't die fast if everyone's "shittily" geared
because even with that shitty gear, things will still die fast until you get to higher keys
You said normal or heroic raid geared but m+ comes out same time raid does. Everyone will be heroic/m0 dungeon geared
Exactly, first week of m+ we won't be geared that low keys will go quiiiiick
no m+ comes out same as normal/heroic
Then yeah, people will have m0/normal/heroic raid gear, obviously due to personal loot they won't be fully decked out
it will just be ilvl capped 1st week most likely
but they'll have enough gear that mythic +1/+2/+3 won't be an issue
People will only have dungeon gear when m+ and raid come out
alright nvm then, they'll be going in with just Mythic 0 gear
But ya 1-3 will be ez
that should still be more than enough for 1-3 keys
and gear from one hc clear ofcourse
and any subsequent gear that comes from those 1-3 keys
but still not so much to make outlaw over sin a definite choice
just play what you're good at/comfortable with
even if one spec is better than the other
But again, i have never played rogue so should just stfu xd
unless you're intimately familiar with both, the difference is gonna be mitigated by your lack of ability to pilot both specs at a top level anyway
But i figured outlaw has more burst aoe than sin, which is why he asked
even if it does
the amount of dmg it offers would have to be higher than the difference of your ability to pilot sin
because if you suck at outlaw, but you're good at sin
you're probably not gonna get as much of a dmg boost as you think
rather than playing sin at a level where you can parse orange or w.e
bumping down to outlaw where you're only at 60% for your ilvl
would mean that outlaw would have to be obscenely stronger for you to net benefit from the swap
unless of course you can pilot other specs close enough to the level that you can pilot your main spec, etc
eh maybe I'm rambling
TL;DR - do w.e feels right.
much text
Unless you're at the bleeding edge of progression, play whatever you want and play it well and you'll be successful
TL;DR Git gud, do w/e
Except play a Ranged. You wouldn't want to be filthy, traitorous scum, now would you?
Well outlaw is pretty easy too and hopefully easy to do 2 specs thsi time no more artifact or leggo
from the start that is
@lime path it tilts me when you say +1
to the gulag
Oh hey Afghanimal XD
does assassination still do the thing where u wait the last second of surge of toxins to use an envenom?
So we have 25k aimed shots in pvp and unkillable disc priests. But rogues get nerfbat
tbh pvp doesnt even feel different
I'm salty that I can be almost 1 hit at 110 by a hunter with an aimed shot 2.5sec cast
They nerfed hunters. MM is dog shit right now and cant 1 shot anyone
Also who cares about pvp 5 days before BFA? Its not like MMs were hitting with aimed shots for 150k on beta. Marksman on 120 is waay worse than on 110
Dima try using evasion
shadowstep the shot to juke behind them
easy
or blind them during the cast, can't aim if you can't see
๐ค
Or dont pvp until this balancing shit show is over
pvp hasn't been balanced like... ever
even in vanilla, people were crying about something
in vanilla half the specs were barely playable
Anybody been doing high m+ keys as sin?
@rotund barn prepatch or beta?
@strange python Prepatch current
define high
from the 20-25 range
Why
wondering how much the m+ rotation has changed with the garrote buff and tempest talent

@rotund barn It depends on the pack size. If it's like 3 mobs then you can Garrote all from stealth (with subterfuge, else only one, obviously), CT them, Rupture all, then keep DoTs up and hit one or another Envenom.
If it's like 10 Mobs, just garrote one, then FoK and CT away
3 and 10 are placeholders and not precise pack values from any theorycrafting/sims/anything
@copper sinew I was thinking something like that. Do you think anything over 5 is too much for trying to rupture all targets?
Aoe prio is fairly simple
Have ct up
Garrote on cd as long as someone is missing
Rupture if ct wont drop
And no, theres no target caps
Yep, that's what provides more damage for me in large groups
I'm talking 5 mobs over 40 seconds
Realistic m+ pulls vary around 5 mobs Id wanna say, and dont die insta
Naa 5 mobs you actually play normally
is elaborate planning the same kinda thing as surge of toxins? from what i remember u have to use envenom right at the last second or something?
Effectively the same.
damn i wasnt keen on that...is that the best talent on the row?
yeah true...is it a big dps loss not doing it?
When now? Not huge, the future will depend on raid tuning to tell.
no worries thanks for the answers
Check the Pins for the information
You wont be able to even upkeep ep like that
You wont have resources for it
oh really...whats changed?
Plenty
Ep lasts 1 sec less
You dont have tier
You dont have 50 crit
I do not believe talents will change too much.
and yeah maintaining EP in BfA ain't a thing.
what, I did not know talent will change at all when bfa comes out?
awesome that sounds alot better...im not keen on when rogue pools energy
Noone kwnos what talents we end up using man
Blizz can change what ever they want the moment they do a balance patch
I loved the pool and then blow through a ton of things, then repeat. I'm not keen on Blindside though. >.>
i like blindside...bit of a boring animation though
Blindside to me, feels like a huge copout and just flat out wrong for Assassination. I remember when they added it. My friend and I were drooling over the animation. RIP Old Poison animations.
Added Mutilate
That is.
I still think Blindside will end up winning for Tier 22 before we get the stats to overcome it. Will see.

lol these class discords ay
If you'd ask a precise question you'd get a precise answer. Do you want a 5 page essay about Crimson Tempest?
@copper sinew What are your exact thoughts and feelings on the usage of the word, "victim" in the tooltip text of Crimson Tempest? Just because we are hurting someone else, are they really victims? What if they deserve it? Does that change the way we view them?
yeh sorry guys i forgot wow is serious business. silly me for talking about assassination in the assassination discord
@frank nest That depends how you define the word victim. We're basically targeting the monster/animal/demon/human/elemental/etc. with our spell "Crimson Tempest", so it becomes our "victim". While the subject itself might not be a victim in it's general life or habitat, it definitely becomes a victim of ours. As we are always fighting for a greater good, even if it's for the 3 gold from Ronald McDonald in Dalaran, it's our mission to use Crimson Tempest on this specific target, so they deserve it in a rational matter. However, if we're talking ethic, I am not to judge the target, the quest giver or people doing that quest.
LOL
@jagged yoke Seriously though - "what is your question?" was by no means offending you or anyone else. The part before was meant as a little fun tease, as it's questions like those that are being answered ten times a day. Precise questions lead to precise answers and/or discussion, which everyone in this or any other class discord should encourage. Your question might be valid and reasonable to you - to me, it's basic.
Crimson Tempest adds diversity to our playstyle. We can start choosing talents, as opposed to using Poison Bomb in every encounter, be it Single target, burst AoE or sustained AoE, as Hidden Blades sucks right now. I take Crimson Tempest for sustained AoE (M+ generaly) and won't take it for any raid boss that consists of 2 or less enemies. 2 permanent targets might be questionable, but that's something we can sim. For ST, it's Poison Bomb all day, even with it's RNG component.
O _O
Im not offended at all im just wondering what people think about it. If you dont want to answer then just dont answer. Theres a new assassination skill and I was wondering what people thoughts are on it
Its an AoE skill.
yikes
_> yeah
was there a conversation about the morality of attacking mobs in game
i don't really want to read that far back
Something about people not answering people in a way that someone wanted.
Wanting "thoughts" and not fact.
We're not throwing it in the mines?
not this time
Oh well.
So since we use 2 1 handers can we enchant both of them? If so can we put 2x navigator and will they stack?
Enchantments should affect the weapon they're enchanting, so main hand enchant for main hand hits, off hand enchant for off hand hits. I believe those stack, yeah, but I'm not sure about it ^^
Just got back from work and my Sin is siming for about 140 dps less than it was when I went to work. Did Simcraft update something today?
nevermind, apparently they did
they updated for the nerf
Narp.
Pvp ones there were
Yeah but weren't those in over a wEak ago?
o _o
Pvp ones? ๐ค
But if it was week ago already then its fine because last nights bg's went well ๐คฃ
@jagged yoke Ct is good.
The other nerfs, 20% things and 50% less garrote etc Will be live in BFA?
Yes
Oki
so... any good weakauras for assassination rogues? As clean and simple as possible because I am new to this class

Database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
hi i would like to know which legendaries will be best for leveling assassination rogue in bfa
Check pins in quick question
thank you !
Cloak and bootd!

I thought the correct answer was 
is it possible, and would it be wise, to have cheap shot and kidney shot on the same button? Since I can only use cheap shot in stealth anyway I could use the same button for kidney shot, or is that bad?
I mean I'm pretty sure there's macros you can write for like if(stealth) {cheapshot}else{kidneyshot}
if you pvp it's probably bad, otherwise it doesnt really matter
I don't know how to write them though and I don't know if it makes sense, don't see why not
Also, if you're using subterfuge, that might be a problem since you can continue using cheap shot for a few seconds after leaving stealth
Sometimes I want to kidney during subterfuge.
Or shadow dance. Binding stuff like that is not necessary.
Muscle memory says that one takes full cps the other is in opener. No thx.
He isnt asking what you are doing tho.
So. I'm just saying I think it is a bad idea.
Longicornis knows what's up. 
did you think blizzard invented exsanguinate out of nothing
looking at its power it seems possible
They invent very little. But have a good spread of tidbits.
Recycling of boss effects is kinda funny. "Ah. They did that on Tyrant." "Ah. That's like hans&franz"
Holy shit, time to move to the northpole
assasin going to be raiding rogue spec?
nobody knows, tuning isnt done
I suppose Sin will be OK for leveling from 110 to 120. Suppose all specs right
all three specs are fine, sin is arguably weakest
You tink outlaw is better? regarding the leveling story
yes
Well you did answer it already in your second last comment. iam sleepy sorry ๐
Soulbound simply means it's untradable and bound to your character, has nothing to do with anything else
It's ok. Welcome ๐
have to learn somehow ^^
I keep simming my toon and it keeps telling me that haste is the shittiest stat? that cant be true, right?
im sitting at 15% haste
Agi > Crit > Vers > Mastery > Haste
simming where? raidbots?
simulation craft.
and using a recent version?
if you have to check, you probably dont have the right version
because simc release a version every week
Haste is bis I'm at 21%
7.3.5 ver 1
just use raidbots.com, its a web version of simc
up do date tho
we're on 8.0.1 7.3.5 definitely isnt up to date
lol, thats a super old version
well
A whole patch behind whew up to date btw
fuck me
there is no auto update for the app
use https://www.raidbots.com/simbot and be happy
The easiest way to use SimulationCraft. A resource for World of Warcraft players.
you have to download nightly versions
thanks everyone
If you want the program directly I find the easiest workflow is build from github
I have a cronjob to do that
Always has a nightly build
is there any ammount of haste that lets you get 4 garrotes off after stealth?
with subterfuge
I doubt.
But you can do the 4th without the cd.
I think.
I've been playing with 4p20 and there is no cd at all.
4th is possible just not empowered right?
if you use the Simulation Craft program you have to download the beta version manually so it will work for 8.0.1@strange python but like others said, raidbots.com is pretty much the same thing and is up to date
pretty sure our gcd is locked at 1 second anyway
Yea not sure you can get more than 3 with subterfuge then the 4 will be un empowered and trigger the cd

anybody know this trix that Zempai use to do 1.5x more damage on every ability then intended? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/43L2ZcKhgH8QGqmY#fight=1&type=damage-done&translate=true
