this is like the situation with resto druid rejuv shoulders and traits letting you have rejuvs that lasted 30 seconds, what ended up happening was that your rejuv targets didn't matter due to how long they lasted, same thing as antorus sin's envenom uptime

#

I get that the spec doesn't feel as fun but that's due to us losing tier / leggos and all specs ingame are feeling a similar thing, although thankfully our gameplay at its core remains the same. if we look at some other specs their whole gameplay focus is completely different

#

give it 4 weeks from now and see how you feel bud, if you still dislike it after getting some raid-gear then fair enough.

#

and finally, please update the visual on CT. I know it's minor but it just looks really bad

dense cedar
#

2 target cleave feels kinda okay for some reason

fleet whale
#

well, you get more energy, sin has always been good at council cleave

dense cedar
#

fair

#

probably just the VW making to not suck

dull cargo
#

I'm kind of enjoying not having to always be pressing a button, the current pacing feels like what I think assassination should play like? Find the right moment to open up in the best way for that situation, wait for the guy to bleed to death and update your bleeds, it feels like you're playing with your food.
Also, it's FoK -> garrote -> rupture AoE rotation is hilarious and can end up doing a tonne of damage over-all. I'm pretty pleased with where it's at.

Has SS been fixed? Is it the best simming, working azerite trait?

main blaze
#

Nope not implemented

dense cedar
#

Are people able to have full uptime on EP?

autumn robin
#

so they're nerfing SS?

#

Still gunna be bis?

dusk void
#

They aren’t nerfing SS, they are supposedly making it work. Currently is does nothing other than add 2 CP on the garrote from stealth. The damage bonus wasn’t applying, so it was close to useless on live (from my understanding.)

winter gale
#

So atm and, most likely for 1st raid, Outlaw is the best followed by Sub and Assa on last spot? How likely that could change?

#

I really dont like outlaw spec

strange python
spare cloud
#

No

winter gale
#

Its not like that?

civic palm
#

SIN is more than likely the best raid spec atm.

winter gale
#

Please God

#

😂

spare cloud
#

Sin is always good

#

Because consistent af

#

And eas

#

And you can do shit and dont lose too much

winter gale
#

I saw some dps list where it drops for arround 2k behind other 2 specs

strange python
#

And?

winter gale
#

And my guildies told me assa is bugged

spare cloud
#

Every class is bugged

winter gale
#

And that I should switch

spare cloud
#

Not only rogue

strange python
#

Im pretty sure OL was #1 rogue on sims pre antorus progress

#

Yet no one actually competitive played it

#

Cos they know better

winter gale
#

Too much rng

spare cloud
#

Outlaw also was #1 pre emerald nightmare

#

We know how that turned out

winter gale
#

Thanks guys, I want to play this spec. I love it

#

Playing butcher/reaper spec is not roguish at all for me

spare cloud
#

Play whatever you want

green ruin
#

How could they nerf shrouded suffocation if the fucking talent was bugged anyways LOL

spare cloud
#

If you need to ask those questions youre not at the level where the specc you play matters

winter gale
#

😂

#

Boom!

green ruin
#

Ohandza they haven't even done any tuning, they are waiting till mythic release

#

So play whatever

civic palm
#

They still have the numbers for the theoretical working model, as even we do, so nerfing it is fine.

winter gale
#

Ok

lofty sand
#

Assassination will never be weak, Sub always had more damage but its hard as hell to perform, suffers from any sort of interruption, its unreliable. And Outlaw simply was designed to be played by people who really love to aoe.

winter gale
#

Thanks alot

lofty sand
#

Assassination is simply reliable.

green ruin
#

Besides I thought the point of shrouded suffocation was the free combo points, not the dmg

spare cloud
#

Except poison bomb shenanigans

#

Garrote is a large part of assa damage atm

green ruin
#

Well duh

lofty sand
#

I never use that talent these days, I wish they would give up on that idea

green ruin
#

You mean at all moments for years lol

#

SS is really strong if you can get 2 stacked

spare cloud
#

Pb is fine now

#

Not as much variance

green ruin
#

Nothing like opening up with garrote and being at 5cp

lofty sand
#

Yeah, its boring though. Passive talent it just happens while you do your normal rotation. I wish they gave us something like Death from Above, something we could use actively to raise ST

#

CT is such a cool addition

raven mica
#

I think that’s what they were aiming for with blindside

green ruin
#

Most azerite stuff is boring tho unfortunately :(

lofty sand
#

Blindside is a neat skill, too bad its underperforming

spare cloud
#

Yeah well they will surely introduce stuff im the future

raven mica
#

CT sound effects need to be updated immediately though

lofty sand
#

I hope so, but otherwise I'm pretty content with assassination right now. It works, and it will work better when they fix the bugs

raven mica
#

When I hear CT I hear like the hearthstone whirlwind noise

spare cloud
#

They said that they are kinda using bfa as a base to build upon further

signal blade
#

is sin more for pve or pvp?

spare cloud
#

And its alright for now

signal blade
#

i was playing sub and honestly hated it.

lofty sand
#

Sin works well on pvp and pve

spare cloud
#

I dont get your question

#

One does not rule out the other

raven mica
#

Maybe he’s asking cuz like ya know how sub has kinda always been “oh yea that’s the PvP spec” for the longest time except for periods/7.2.5 onwards

signal blade
#

yeah thats all i meant

#

i guess i should have asked if sin was both viable for both pvp and pve

spare cloud
#

Afaik assa is not the nonplusultra in pvp

raven mica
#

Well sin historically since ICC has never really been a dogshit spec since

lofty sand
#

your question should be "is sin well equipped for pvp?" then we would tell you to ask #pvp where those questions should be asked.

raven mica
#

Anyone remember a time where assassination was bad?

spare cloud
#

However every rogue specc is viable

raven mica
#

Post ICC?

lofty sand
#

Not really

signal blade
#

what can i ask/say here?

lofty sand
#

anything related to the spec that is not specific to pvp. Since there is a whole channel dedicated to that?

merry anchor
#

Mut/prep was life

lament sandal
#

Does anyone garrote, rupture, and then garrote again for 3 more combo points and extended garrote duration?

civic palm
blissful crown
#

How is ppls opener?

I mean after i garrote mut rupture, i tend to have more energy so when i use vendetta i actually waste energy cause capped

#

And when u pair ur vanish with vendetta, du u vendetta before vanish?

dark token
#

so i just realized my outlaw gear has 3x shrouded suffication 340

zealous sable
#

Why would you pair them? Just do vanish garote when your first one is ending

dark token
#

should i play sin 🤔

blissful crown
#

@zealous sable Just read the sin guide and they said pair vendetta with vanish, i havnt done that so far yet.

#

I always just vanish on CD and garrote and do the whole thing again

zealous sable
#

Well you pair it in that you do it inside your Vendetta window but you dont do them at the same time

#

If we are talking opener that is

#

They should be paired if the fight is in progress

blissful crown
#

I meant when in fight, i mean after you have done ur opener and ur first garrote expires

#

vanish is ready

#

do you vanish garrote

#

there and continue

#

When the fight is in process, then you just use vendetta when ready then vanish -> garrote -> mut - rupture/envenom and then keep going

odd tundra
#

@dark token yes

vestal dune
#

Is garrote mut from stealth a dps gain over double garrote?

blissful crown
#

U mean in the opener?

vestal dune
#

Yeah or after vanish

#

Wait nvn on vanish

#

You get epidemic from normal garrote

blissful crown
#

I never do double garrote

#

Tbh

#

dno whats best

#

I just do pre pot -> garrote -> mut -> rupture -> vendetta -> mutilate -> toxic blade -> trinket -> envenom. And then just envenom spam

#

And keeping up rot, and when garrote needs refresh i vanish garrote muti rupture if needed else garrote

civic palm
odd tundra
#

you can't stop them mize

#

no one can

civic palm
dense cedar
#

hey guys

#

do I want to use daggers or sword wqhen i play ass the asssassin spec of rogue

civic palm
#

No one can answer that question.

odd tundra
#

auto atk with swords

dense cedar
#

ty

odd tundra
#

np have a great afternoon

safe matrix
#

@dense cedar you need double dagger to cast abilities

#

So go with that

civic palm
#

2 7 3

dense cedar
#

wow, blizzard ruining my assassin sword experience

safe matrix
#

You can sim which traits are best, or you can look at the sims on herodamage

dense cedar
#

ah ok

safe matrix
#

Some are really good if you have one, and some stack on eachother super well

blissful crown
#

@dark token wierd that u sim more than me with 2 less ilvl and worse weapons 😄

#

im at 11.955 dps atm

dark token
#

the power of darkmoon deck and triple SS

blissful crown
#

I have darkmoon, only 2 SS though

#

Might be the trick

safe matrix
#

Stats

#

Secondary traits

#

Etc

dark token
#

yeah my gear is really good stat weight for all 3 spec

blissful crown
#

True

#

whats ur stats? Im sitting at 18% crit 15% haste 23% mastery 4% versatility

#

btw does the overwhelming power stack? Can see i got it on 2 items

safe matrix
#

Yes

blissful crown
#

Fine

warm sable
#

So SS fixed we can stack them now ?

safe matrix
#

iirc the hotfix hasn't gone through yet

warm sable
#

I am useing only one SS because as i know thay dont stack, so i am looking for Dagger in the Back ... Whats better 3SS or 1 SS and 2x Dagger in Back ?

wise frigate
#

I'd be surprised if it hasn't gone live yet cause the notes that listed that change are from the 24th.

dark token
#

why is this not allowing me to equip 2 of the same dagger here?

#

i wanna test out gear sets

safe matrix
#

I think there's a bigger patch on Tuesday

#

With feral buffs

#

Do they say unique equipped?

wise frigate
#

Top Gear only lets you test valid combos that you currently have.

dark token
#

yes i added in the items to simc

#

input

#

manually

#

it should work, no?

wise frigate
#

Are you selecting anything else in the top gear?

#

Or just the daggers?

dark token
#

yup, 2 trinkets

#

er, 3 trinkets

wise frigate
#

Sounds like it wasn't happy about the manual adding of the weapons maybe?

#

Could pop over to the Raidbots Discord and see if someone has an idea.

#

I'm sure someone has stumbled upon that issue before.

dark token
#

somehow i made it work

#

lol

blissful crown
#

Quick Navigation on both weapons?

dull copper
#

Quick and Deadly

safe matrix
#

Two highest weighted stats unless top weight is massive

stuck oyster
#

are we sure that the ss fix is not live yet?

strange python
#

How about you go and test

weak isle
#

what ss fix if i may ask?

safe matrix
#

Shrouded suffocation azerite trait damage didn't stack

#

So the fix is fixing that problem

weak isle
#

ah oki thnx 😄

livid bronze
#

so even tho they are nerfing the dmg its because they are stackable now like they should have been?

#

once the change happens that is

lofty junco
#

so SS its fixed now?

midnight ledge
#

There is something i have been struggling to understand atm. Why everyone is playing outlaw and sub if we go to top dmg sims on wowprogress everyone is playing that specs? Is it more viable or whats going on?

prime stirrup
#

because they deal higher dmg right now. most mobs dont live long enough for our multi garrote/rupture to = the burst of sub/outlaw

midnight ledge
#

Im 343ilvl at sin and dealing with then just fine lol

prime stirrup
#

I am too, but you asked why everyone is playing another spec. its because they sim higher dps for it

#

Its also significantly easier to get ilvls as outlaw. you have a much larger weapon loot pool

midnight ledge
#

How is that even possible when we push 14k dps easy against sub or outlaw in st

zealous sable
#

I doubt an assasination rogue beats a sub on pure single target assuming they are equally good

prime stirrup
#

if sims are correct we dont beat any other rogue in ST

#

Maybe when theres more haste available it will be different

#

but if sims are correct same ilvl sin loses to outlaw/sub

zealous sable
#

They are close enough that it doesn't matter, also when you include things like Assassination being easier to play with boss tactic you will pretty much do the same

round oar
#

Off topic question; is anyone else struggling with getting daggers from wq's or emissaries or dungeons? I'm still using crafted ilvl 300 daggers for assassination where as I've gotten a fist weapon and mace for outlaw (ilvl 340-345) and I deal marginally more dmg as outlaw. I joined in legion so I'm not familiar how much weapons affect your dmg, would my dmg spike more as assassination if my weapons were up to date?

midnight ledge
#

Sims are sims. Fights are not dps race steady on same spot

prime stirrup
#

@round oar yes we all are. you have 6 avaialble dagger drops. its abysmal as hell out here for a sin

zealous sable
#

Well you said that we push higher versus them now, and I would say that 90% of the dungeon bosses are stand still dps

midnight ledge
#

My idea was ppl going easy way out on sub outlaw cuz of weapons

zealous sable
#

Or they just prefer the spec? Its not like there are few assassination rogues

prime stirrup
#

and we just went through 2 tiers of being top dog

midnight ledge
#

In my server in the only one on top20 lol

prime stirrup
#

outlaws are probably rejoicing

zealous sable
#

I mean a lot of Outlaws are cheesing in the dungeons right now but when Uldir comes out there will be way more

midnight ledge
#

Started asking my self what is going on

round oar
#

Just gotta pray for those dagger drops man. That's the thing that's prolly dragging all sins atm.

midnight ledge
#

I got 2 daggers atm 335/340 sims 11.8k dps

prime stirrup
#

i bought rotating dagger of xing or whatever because after running 20 mythics and getting no daggers i just cant take it

zealous sable
#

Managed to convince myself to sell my Xing, got lucky and got my final 340 weapon on the last dungeon that could drop one this week

prime stirrup
#

Im going to go through mythics this week with outlaw lootspec and only go to sin loot for bosses that drop daggers

#

lets face it, im just going to get 5 azerite pieces again

round oar
#

I've done mythics two weeks now and no drops, I just hope I'll manage to get daggers before raiding starts.

lofty junco
#

so worked now SS or its the fix not live like all days before?

prime stirrup
#

blake. go frigging test it

opaque tree
#

@lofty junco is that even english? my eyes hurt from reading that

blissful crown
#

what are the reward from emissary today on EU servers?

dull copper
#

AP for alliance

median sonnet
#

Boooo

#

Where's mah dagger :|

opaque tree
#

doubt you'll get a dagger from Emissary stuff

blissful crown
#

^^

#

But again if i sim a 340 dagger its only like 150 dps increase compared to my 310

prime stirrup
#

Horde did they got a 340 dagger

blissful crown
#

So i should be happy with the one i got in MH.

prime stirrup
#

i have a 325 offhand right now. if i sim it vs the mythic version i gain 600dps

median sonnet
#

There was a 340 mace few days ago from emissary, so I'd say dagger is possible

opaque tree
#

offhand dagger is more stats anyway

median sonnet
#

Question is, will it happen any time soon :p

blissful crown
#

Yeah

opaque tree
#

i had a 340 dagger mainhand and a 340 in offhand. A 310 dagger with a socket in offhand because the stats were perfect, was simming higher in offhand than the 340

#

pretty ridiculous

strange python
#

Horde already got 340 dagger and fist as reward

prime stirrup
#

well we got 100 war resources from same quest as they got a 340 dag

#

so woooo! go alliance

blissful crown
#

I think we survive.

#

😄

opaque tree
#

what faction gave them the dagger?

prime stirrup
#

horde emmisary

#

i think we actually got 400 war resources. but legit who cares about those

opaque tree
#

lame

strange python
#

2k18 and playing alliance

median sonnet
#

While the 340 mace reward was a nice low blow already by itself, of course I got the item warforged to 345 to further add the pain :P

blissful crown
#

Its hard to make everyone happy, outlaw and shamans etc seems happy with the 340 mace/fist

#

Had it been a dagger then they would just have whined 😄

strange python
#

Shaman didnt get fist

#

Was pants for them

blissful crown
#

Yeah u right

prime stirrup
#

except outlaw have 14 different weapon drops from mythic dungeons they can use. while sin has 6

#

so like if they salty then they are dumb.

median sonnet
#

Yeah, but one could think that rogues have 2/3 specs using daggers, that daggers were more common as WQ rewards - yet in EU alliance, past 5 weapon rewards have been for OL :|

strange python
#

HF getting those 6/300 from box as TF

prime stirrup
#

Im just glad the AH game so easy right now so i can buy a xing

median sonnet
#

It's random yes, but could be weighted a bit at least

prime stirrup
#

It really does need to be stronger weighted. I got 12 azerite pieces from 20 mythic dungeons. Im just lucky i ran with a DH that could trade actual loot to me

strange python
#

Normal loot is irrelevant

#

Gonna replace all of it 1st week of m+

prime stirrup
#

who cares

blissful crown
#

And raiding :p

stuck hare
#

crimson tempest is worth right for dungeons?

strange python
#

Yes

stuck hare
#

thanks

dense cedar
#

Crimson Tempest Gang

stuck hare
#

and u use it on ST too?

#

or jsut on trash

dense cedar
#

PB for ST

#

not worth using on a singe target

blissful crown
#

but i cant change talents in mythics when going can u?

dense cedar
#

combo points are spent on better things

stuck hare
#

ok then

blissful crown
#

Atleast not in legion you couldnt 😄

prime stirrup
#

you cant here either. you also wont be able to change gear in m+

blissful crown
#

Dno whats the best to run with, in trash heavy dungeons CT might be the option.

#

I havnt tried to use it yet, i just run with pb

strange python
#

PB hardly does anything

#

Losing 2% DPS on boss

dense cedar
#

CT is best for all dungeons

strange python
#

Who cares

dense cedar
#

CT is very good cos

#

it gives

#

something

#

it does things

#

therefore making to better

prime stirrup
#

that PB which also does something

#

im not arguing your point, just the logic you used to get there

dense cedar
#

i was making a joke

#

CT still better tho

#

that part was not a joke

blissful crown
#

Gotta try it out later.

strange python
#

is the rotation for mob packs similar to subelty where you use the FoK to generate and then spend on CT/Rupture/Envenom? or is there something I'm missing

river pawn
#

hi guys

lament dove
#

I don't get how CT is good right now, if you follow the CT > rupture priority, you're gonna get energy starved very soon, if you put up a few ruptures to have energy, the mobs die before you'll use CT

vestal dune
#

You open with 3 garrotes

lament dove
#

of course I open with 3 garrotes, but that doesn't magically skyrocket my energy

vestal dune
#

Idk how you get starved with 3 bleeds then

ionic crown
#

not applying poison

vestal dune
#

Once I apply poison to one of them, i switch the target so I can make sure the 3 of them have poisons

uneven summit
#

down to 60 versa now 😮

vestal dune
#

I might have a couple of seconds of downtime, but thats it, I dont feel starved at any point

uneven summit
#

What are peoples stats like, and their simmed DPS ?

blissful crown
#

18% crit, 15% haste, 23% mastery, 4% versa

#

sim 12k

silk jolt
#

man i think sin is in a good place

blissful crown
#

It is, ppl who say otherwise just dont like the specc

#

simple

river pawn
#

sin is good mate but doesnt feel good

blissful crown
#

for mythics im not concerned, it is in raids i can see a problem comin

#

coming

river pawn
#

i think with more haste sin get better felling

#

we need raid items

#

or mythic plus items

blissful crown
#

Yu+p

#

Yup

#

Thats why at this state u cant really say, ppl should play what they like. I keep playing sin cause i believe it will get better with gear getting higher stats.

green ruin
#

Sin is and always been about having stats, so it's okay to feel weird or starved atm

#

Also gotta wait for the big class tune that is going to happen before mythic raids are released

blissful crown
#

Yeah.

green ruin
#

Not sure about ct over pb right now tho because getting a couple pb in a row makes me feel good lol

strange python
#

canyone explain what causes FoK to generate extra Combo Points when its not a melee attack

#

Read tooltip

#

Seal Fate my dude

lament dove
#

yes, only on crits, that's why it feels weird now and that's why it will get better

weak pine
#

Crit>mast>vers>haste on multi target

#

For Seal fate

stiff tartan
#

[Battle Potion of Agility] vs [Potion of Bursting Blood] which one is best ?

valid junco
#

holy shit guys , just noticed that our mutilate tooltip doesnt include "reguires daggers " anymore

#

testing and simmin soon something funny 😄

lone junco
#

when you put on mace/fist/sword the icon should turn red.

#

but ok

valid junco
#

oh damn , the requires daggers come when you dont have daggers on 😄

royal lantern
#

you cant use it with only 1 dagger

valid junco
#

nope , god damn=D

royal lantern
#

sin/sub both use daggers only(you need a really high ilvl difference on sub too use a normal 1h without losing dps)

lofty sand
#

Can sub use 1h? I thought they also lost skills without daggers 🤔

valid junco
#

i think they can offhand 1h

lone junco
#

@lofty sand yeah sub can offhand 2.6

#

need to sim your sets

warm parcel
#

Slow weap would be meaningless anyway

royal lantern
#

like i said, sub CAN use 1h weapon as offhand, but should not do it

warm parcel
#

Skills dont care of dmg range

#

Or acrually would just lower poison dmg

lofty sand
#

thats pretty funny

valid junco
#

hmm AZ3-R1-T3 Engineer helms trait Relational Normalization Gizmo seems to be buffed a bit , gives now change to get 767 haste or 471 agi , with health and speed secondary effects. but that haste sounds good !

#

cause u can inner trait Overwhelming power that ggants around 600haste too

#

have to sim this out

#

marginal single target change , i just go with the Synaptic Spark and heed my call , gives more aoe

thorn crater
#

i have a question that im not sure if it should be here or on TC

#

why does TtK sim so low. i mean to say having extra envenom dmg plus extending it would make it easier to perma maintain

#

or close to perma

#

wouldnt that make it a better talent overall

#

both ST and aoe since u can fok to apply DP easier?

#

and each extra application of DP proccs IP?

#

or is it a stats thing cause we dont have enough crit yet?

prime stirrup
#

its more we have shit mastery/haste

thorn crater
#

well the trait works with the crit

#

i mean extending

#

basically that trait would make crit> haste

lone junco
#

is that the extended env buff?

thorn crater
#

yes

lone junco
#

extending buff only increases application rate of DP

prime stirrup
#

you shouldnt have much problem keeping high uptime on envemon already

thorn crater
#

yes but high uptime with perma envenom is sth different

lone junco
#

so if you get a little more uptime, without scaling the poison it itself, then the gain is pretty low.

#

in T21 we had mechanics that loved env uptime. and application

prime stirrup
#

^^

thorn crater
#

also how can i sim items from backpack?

#

i still dont know

lone junco
#

bonus to dp crit.
and E return on EP crit

#

/simc

thorn crater
#

how to make the simc replace on its own

lone junco
#

copy the string, and paste into Raidbots

prime stirrup
#

premium

lone junco
#

nah

#

Top gear

valid junco
#

equip shit u want to sim and /simc

lone junco
#

no

prime stirrup
#

or just set sim for bags and deal with maybe not having enough iterations available

lone junco
#

/simc top gear.

Select all the variations you want.

#

Smart sim will let you do like 70 iterations

#

once you found your bis then rerun it singly for statweights.

thorn crater
#

cause like the simc app doesnt let u or i dont know how

lone junco
#

/simc addon. copy the whole string.

thorn crater
#

ITERATIONS: 2,400,000 / 300,000 (480 COMBINATIONS)

#

what is that

lone junco
#

currently I run the top 5 shoulder/helm/chest traits all at once.

#

then once it has picked the top, I run again and pick through all the rest of my gear

#

trinkets, 3rd ring. 2nd boot etc.

#

dont be dumb and select a 275 item.

thorn crater
#

oh tirnkets fucke it up

lone junco
#

if you know one trinket is god. (fathoms) lock that one

thorn crater
#

i had 3 more trinkets

#

i got gale today

#

but its better for sub

#

i guess

#

ill just check the rest of the items

#

and check trinkets separately

lone junco
#

the real q. is what fight are you going for? and be consistent

#

I use 2min Patchwerk right now.

#

because, reasons

thorn crater
#

yes thats what i picked

#

cause boss fights

#

on m-

#

m0

#

take around that ong

lone junco
#

with azerites I make sure to pick the top occurance of each trait.

#

so click or unclick the buffs for each slot.

#

you only need one SS or Rupture etc.

#

my bags have like 2 chest 8 hats 15 shoulder

once you have picked everything for ST.

Anyone finding it impossible to get dagger drops? Ive been 120 since the day after bfa launched and only just got a 325 hc dagger last night. Seems blizzard are favouring outlaw over sin and sub as maces and swords have been all over world quests...

weak pine
#

Yea daggers have been hard to come by for me

#

I had to do 100+ HCs(first dagger ones daily, then random) just to get both hands to 325. No warforges

The only redeeming thing has been the honorbound emissary for 340 one so far

what did we use to farm AP for raiding????? 🤔

vestal wren
#

goblins are probably questionable but those guilds who blamed goblins for not beeing able to kill KJ and transfered over to horde did seem to struggle even with this HUGE advanatage on horde

lone junco
#

@lofty junco I use 8T 20s patchwerk. 4T 40s. and 1T 2min. (make sure to turn off raid buffs for the short packs)

#

since we cant switch gear (in the future), I just look at them across the board and make a decision.

vestal wren
#

yes and you def. needed at to farm low keys in the beginning or +10/15 later

that seems 100% accurat

Freehold will be easy, use shroud on group at top of the first set of stairs to avoid the first packs of trash

because people dont fuck up shroud all the time

You can avoid all thrash before first boss with shroud

royal lantern
#

´´lets walk trought the enemys, wath could go wrong?´´

new shroud is quite big, so ppl should be able to use it decently

just make a macro: "APE SQUAT FOLLOW THE ROGUE"

´´yeha guys, mass stealth for the next groups till boss´´

Lol that sounds better than my "shroud active"

royal lantern

activate shroud, 4 seconds later MUH PALADIN SHIELD THROW

Either that or druid healer waits, send group to go die at boss area and then cat form stealth past the trash and res the party, but would lose only a small amount of time from the deaths

I like that rogues become essential in Tol Dagor M+ for unlocking gates, gotta bag those BiS daggers :D

pandaren/troll and Belf are the best pve wise still

with a rogue named shreq, orc is the best and only race to be.

livid bronze
#

as mut in M+, if we want to compete with sub prio dmg, should we be going Exsang?

lofty sand
#

prio dmg??

livid bronze
#

priority damage

lofty sand
#

you mean ST?

livid bronze
#

no

#

i mean priority damage

lofty sand
#

either way, no I don't think Esanguinate is competitive in any situation

livid bronze
#

they are different things

#

i just thought having the burst to nuke a mob like the infested would play to exsang's strengths

cerulean walrus
#

Honestly Exsang has always felt like a meme talent to me

livid bronze
#

i dont disagree

cerulean walrus
#

I think Toxic would just be better to go with cause it seems more consistant

lofty sand
#

last time I remember it being good was pre-patch to WoD

#

to legion*

cerulean walrus
#

The problem I see is that if you pop Exsang into a mob when it is priority is that it'll be nuked either way, wasting the CD

livid bronze
#

I just personally dont want to play sub in M+'s but everyone says you have to for high keys cuz of their priority damage. I'm trying to see if I could make mut have more priority damage by maybe a talent swap or 2

lofty sand
#

Why would anyone care about your choice of spec for M+?

cerulean walrus
#

Because muh Method said so

livid bronze
#

what do you mean?

lofty sand
#

play what you want

livid bronze
#

i care.

cerulean walrus
#

Its not that simple in M+

lofty sand
#

Then play whatever feels fun for you

cerulean walrus
#

Sub has a different toolkit than Sin

livid bronze
#

because I want to be the best asset to my group

cerulean walrus
#

They are good for different things

livid bronze
#

what does sin do better than sub?

#

currently

lofty sand
#

Depends on the fight

cerulean walrus
#

^

lofty sand
#

its not as simple as This spec > this other spec

livid bronze
#

im not saying it is

lofty sand
#

Sub has way more shit to juggle, they are a beast at ST damage if they can sit there and focus on their rotation, but they dont deal very well with mechanics and having to move away

livid bronze
#

I'm merely stating that sub has really strong priority damage which is really strong in 10+ keys. So how does Mut adjust to bring that

lofty sand
#

Assassination is simpler and doesn't suffer from having to move away from the their targets for a bit

cerulean walrus
#

It's this simple. Raids: Sin>Sub M+ Sub>Sin

livid bronze
#

im not raiding

lofty sand
#

If you play like a god, with the mechanics of a robot, sub does 5% more damage than Assassination in every situation. Is that what you want to hear?

cerulean walrus
#

Sin has more wiggle room in its rotation so you don't completely faceplant on DPS

lofty sand
#

thats what simulation tells us currently

livid bronze
#

obviously you are being silly @lofty sand because you arent actually reading my questions

lofty sand
#

No, I'm not. You want us to answer a very specific question under some shady assumptions. How are we supposed to know? Each fight has its own situations, its impossible to give you a straight answer.

austere mesa
#

sorry to interrupt, sin meticulous scheming vs poisoned wire, to me it seems like a pretty reliable opener on meticulious

cerulean walrus
#

The best bet you have in M+ would be to rock CT over PB if you aren't already. Exsang might be better if you go with CT because its another bleed in your belt

lofty sand
#

In general if you have to do mechanics, Sin is better. If not, sub is better

livid bronze
#

I am CT

#

@lofty sand still not answering my question 😃

raven mica
#

Isn’t rogue always put on mechanic bitch duty anyways?

cerulean walrus
#

Sub will typically be better because it lacks ramp up time

lofty sand
#

Because you want an impossible answer. No one here will know how to answer that

#

how the hell are we supposed to answer?

strange python
#

Sin has much more consistent dmg with AoE and in high mechanic fights. However, it is not as effective in ST than sub

livid bronze
#

I'm not asking "is x spec better than y spec"

#

you just are turning it into because you want to

#

I'm asking how do you increase mut's priority damage in a M+ to bring it more in line with subs

cerulean walrus
#

You can't. You'd be energy starved

grizzled harness
#

You won't.

livid bronze
#

Okay, that's what I wanted to know. Thanks guys 😃

cerulean walrus
#

Of course

lofty sand
#

what

#

you wanted to know if Sub does more damage ST? Isnt that what I said in the begining of this?

#

wtf

livid bronze
#

no

#

that's not what i asked

#

i know they do

cerulean walrus
#

Priority* Not ST

livid bronze
#

^^

cerulean walrus
#

As in multi target but Prio>Others

#

That easy

livid bronze
#

hence why i kept saying "PRIORITY" damage

lofty sand
#

lmao, alright

cerulean walrus
#

Yeah sub will be better in that regard unless you get full bleeds on all targets for energy regen

livid bronze
#

so once infested goes away, we may see less need for priority damage?

cerulean walrus
#

Even then it can't keep up as well

livid bronze
#

right

#

thats why i was thinking Exsang might bridge the gap slightly but wasn't sure.

cerulean walrus
#

If you are an absolute legend at refreshing bleeds then maybe

livid bronze
#

some of the guides suggest it for priority damage in M+'s

raven mica
#

I would think that toxic blade does that job too

cerulean walrus
#

^

raven mica
#

But is overall much more useful

cerulean walrus
#

That's why I stick with TB as well

livid bronze
#

My question about TB though is does it equal the "burst" of exsang?

cerulean walrus
#

MOre so

royal lantern
#

tb itself does some pretty good dmg

livid bronze
#

cuz isnt the idea of TB to fit as many envenoms as possible?

royal lantern
#

without spamming 3x envenom

cerulean walrus
#

Because you try and cram as many Envenoms in as possible

#

But the ability itself is good

livid bronze
#

right

cerulean walrus
#

It takes a pretty decent chunk of health out of anything you hit with it

livid bronze
#

so if i want to mut in a M+, i should probably get another dps i nthe group to do the priority damage

royal lantern
#

dmg wise TB itself is bettwen a 3-4 combo point envenom that gives you a combo point with low energy cost+makes your weapon poison better

cerulean walrus
#

Just prioritize your Envenoms on prio

#

Not too hard

livid bronze
#

well yeah

cerulean walrus
#

Alrighty guys I gtg take it easy

livid bronze
#

i knew that xD

#

take it easy

#

thanks for the chat

final hull
#

hmm , guys what talents should i pick for dungeons right now

marble hemlock
#

221XX22

lofty sand
#

wait, hidden blades for lvl 100 talent?

final hull
#

hmm

lofty sand
#

I dont think anyone uses that

marble hemlock
#

PB sucks and you dont generate enough CP for CT to be worth using

final hull
#

why subterfurge ?

marble hemlock
#

to jumpstart the energy generation on trashpacks

lofty sand
#

Wait, what dungeons are we talking about? Normal dungeons?

final hull
#

myth

marble hemlock
#

well, ive been playing it in hcs and m0s

lofty sand
#

You get more than enough combo points to use CT on M0s

livid bronze
#

CT is a great talent for dungeons

#

fan of knives in CT is easy

lofty sand
#

I'm pretty sure Hidden blades doesn't even compete with RNG bomb

marble hemlock
#

well, depends a little on what azerite traits youre running. im using 2scent, was planning on running 3, and at that point your CP are better spent on multi-rupturing more

royal lantern
#

if you actually use FoK the talent has 0 use, or not?

#

except 1 big burst

marble hemlock
#

it increases your fok damage by 20% every 2secs?

lofty sand
#

its a great talent to kill critters

final hull
#

hmm

marble hemlock
#

so in that sense its a somewhat consistent dps increase to your most prominent aoe damage ability

final hull
#

i think CT is better

marble hemlock
#

well, as i said, depends a bit on your azerite pieces. if youre not running scent, or only 1, then CT might be worth using earlier into the pull

#

if you do however run multiple scent traits, then making sure you multi-rupture as much as possible has higher priority

livid bronze
#

how does that affect Hidden blades at all with you multi rupturing?

marble hemlock
#

because you use fok as a builder?

livid bronze
#

right??? but still

lofty sand
#

it doesn't, it just raises the FoK damage

marble hemlock
#

it increases the damage of your builder

#

thats a damage increase?!?

livid bronze
#

not really?

#

you get 1 big use of it

marble hemlock
#

i dont even

livid bronze
#

where as CT works constantly and is consistent

marble hemlock
#

so is the fok increase?

lofty sand
#

every 10s you can throw a single stronger FoK. So if you're doing normal dungeons where nothing has a lot of HP, you can stay on top of the dps.

livid bronze
#

its not tho

marble hemlock
#

whether 1 fok is incrased by 400% or 20 foks are increased by 20% doesnt matter

#

its the same outcome

livid bronze
#

lol?

marble hemlock
#

overall

livid bronze
#

that 20% is still lower than a max CP CT

marble hemlock
#

when looked at in a vaccuum, yes

livid bronze
#

what?

marble hemlock
#

but theres an opportunity cost to using CT

#

sicne youre not using a different finisher

#

theres is none to HB

livid bronze
#

are you speaking english?

marble hemlock
#

that opportunity cost becomes higher the more scent traits youre running, since every CT you cast is one less rupture running

livid bronze
#

....

lofty sand
#

Look, in a Mythic dungeon you will be using FoK multiple times depending on the size of the pull, the talent will only affect the first one. And if you're chain pull you will never build enough stacks to make it worth

#

while CT is always there

marble hemlock
#

what

#

how does it only affect the first fok?

livid bronze
#

....

marble hemlock
#

2sec after that first fok, the talent provides another bonus, albeit a smaller one

livid bronze
#

hes not understanding it leo lol

lofty sand
#

I don't even understand what is this conversation about anymore

livid bronze
#

the 20% isnt worth the talent

#

thats the point

lofty sand
#

Neither do I. I don't get his plan, but if you like those FAT FoKs dude, then more power to you.

livid bronze
#

after your first fok, the talent is a loss

royal lantern
#

fok itself has a pretty low dmg, 20%is not that usefull imo

#

yoe are probably better with PB if you dont want too take CT

marble hemlock
#

i dont like the fat foks. its just that bomb isnt worth using, and CT comes with the caveat that you dont spread ruptures as fast you could

#

and fok makes up 30-40% of your overall damage on a trashpull, atleast it does for me

lofty sand
#

CT does more damage than ruptures depending on the size of the mob my friend

marble hemlock
#

since it has pretty good AP scaling, which synergizes well with multirupturing as much as possible with 2+ scent traits

royal lantern
#

wut

marble hemlock
#

you dont cast rupture for the damage, you cast it for the energy generation and the scent-agi gain

livid bronze
#

CT will out dmg your rupturing

#

fyi

royal lantern
#

for me its always garrote>ct>weapon poison

livid bronze
#

the mobs wont live long enough to milk the Rupture dmg

lofty sand
#

Yes, but your first CT then you spread ruptures, then you refresh CT. Thts how you aoe as assassination now

livid bronze
#

^

lofty sand
#

and there is little to no energy starvation in that

#

specially if you open with garrotes

livid bronze
#

I'm usually starved so i must be spamming to hard XD

marble hemlock
#

last time i played around with different talent combinations/azerite combinations the one i suggested came out ahead when doing actual dungeons, id be surprised if things changed since then

lofty sand
#

subterfuge lets you garrote 3 targets, if you have the azerite trait by the second mob you will already have 5 cp and you can follow with a CT. Then you garrote again for more cp, then you multi and you already have a rupture up

marble hemlock
#

but obviously youre entitled to the way youre playing, i was just giving my suggestion as someone whos tried out a few different things quite extensively at the start of bfa

lofty sand
#

I've been playing Assassination since Legion

livid bronze
#

its not an entitled way of playing.

lofty sand
#

all the way till right now

slender peak
#

CT is super strong. Subterfuge 3 garrotes plus 1 rupture gives you tones of energy to CT. Then I switch between rupture refresh ct finishers. Pull easy 20k on large packs 10k+ on 4-5 mob packs

vapid moth
#

^

royal lantern
#

garrote3x>rupture>spam fol til 4-5combo points>rupture>CT>use garrote on cd and keep 2 ruptures up

marble hemlock
#

yeah well, hard to compare pulls, but hb does the same numbers, or more, at least for me, so 🤷

vapid moth
#

I dont agree with spreading ruptures doe

livid bronze
#

so when using fok, do we just keep from capping energy or do you full deplete at the start?

slender peak
#

Do you just CT spam and skip ruptures?

royal lantern
#

thats how i do it and i never really have energy problems and the dmg is good enough, most of the time highest in pug groups(but pug's dont really count cus most people suck hard)

marble hemlock
#

3x garrote into rupture, into fok/2-3cp rupture spread, once thats achieved and youre sitting at 6-8scent stacks, alternate between 4+ envenoms/rupture refreshes

livid bronze
#

@slender peak was that at me?

slender peak
#

It was @vapid moth

lofty sand
#

Well even if your numbers are like that which I'm not sure I believe, Hidden blade will simply fall off very hard as mobs get more HP. It doesn't scale

marble hemlock
#

its sustained dps, it doesnt change?

#

only a very small portion of your overall damage will be from the first fok

royal lantern
#

but more dots are better for sustained dps?

lofty sand
#

how are you going to build Fok stacks while fighting a pack? are you going to sit there and not fok?

lean fox
#

Been using HB for the current low end content - where stuff dies super fast. I've seen an increase in DPS from doing so. However, I do think CT will pull ahead once stuff lives longer. We shall see.

marble hemlock
#

CT will pull ahead eventually, and that is mostly due to us getting higher crit, which enables faster CP generation. but currently the highest priority is to spread enough bleeds to be able to spam on the GCD

livid bronze
#

CT is already ahead in M0

#

you must be doing normals/heroics

lofty sand
#

Like I said, its a great talent for killing critters and doing normal dungeons

#

but thats about it

slender peak
#

Even if the dps is good with the fok. You will loose out significantly on ST fights over other artifact traits where you wont be able to stack ruptures

lean fox
#

That's why I said low-end content, also as groups are getting more geared, even M0 trash is dying super fast

marble hemlock
#

well, as i said, ive tried both, and HB seemed to provide better results in m0s. and im fairly sure i know how to play :>

livid bronze
#

I'm fairly sure you arent doing CT right if HB is pulling ahead 😃

marble hemlock
#

yeah, the azerite choice might affect the talenting quite a bit

royal lantern
#

can you give us a talent sim? just a question?

lofty sand
#

I'm fairly sure you almost convinced a new player into picking a meme ultra niche build

livid bronze
#

I'd like a sim as well

marble hemlock
#

id have to write a custom apl for the way i play the HB build im running right now

royal lantern
#

maybe it does sim higher for you, but then give us proof pls

marble hemlock
#

sims arent really that accurate when it comes to m+/m0 gameplay, was the same issue in legion

slender peak
#

Well you could always post a damage log

marble hemlock
#

but i can hit one up just for the fun of it if you want, 40sec/8t?

#

this would be 40sec/8t sim with the build i suggested and 2scent/1fok trait

royal lantern
#

add cleave is not the same as aoe fights?

marble hemlock
#

running CT for comparison rn

#

the apl for hectic add cleave is closest to the gameplay-prio youre having with that build

nimble tartan
#

Its fine he did 8t 40 secs

marble hemlock
#

not sure which kind of fight you think might be better suited

#

since patchwerk stops spreading rupture at 5t on a 8t fight

#

thats not gonna be accurate

nimble tartan
#

I mean i think its kind of obvious that hidden blades would be the talent of choice in content where things die too fast

marble hemlock
#

slightly higher

#

with CT

#

but again, thats mostly due to the apl ramping up much slower than you do when you actually play it

#

since it does 4+ ruptures all the way

#

instead of quickly spreading 2-3cp ruptures to ramp up faster

lofty sand
#

wait, so even with your very specific traits, CT simmed higher??

marble hemlock
#

do you understand how APLs work?

#

the way you play is basically simmed correctly for the way the sims are done with CT

nimble tartan
#

Try 20 sec fight anyways 40 sec is around boss fight length right now

#

40-60

#

For m0

marble hemlock
#

ye

nimble tartan
#

Id be surprised if rn youre fighting big packs for 40 secs

marble hemlock
#

well, its gonna be in favor of HB due to the big hit

#

but you rarely start the fight with 20stacks, which the sim would do

lean fox
#

Yeah was going to say 40 sec is pretty long for trash

#

True

marble hemlock
#

so thats gonna be skewed already

#

and im not gonna write a custom apl just to try to convince someone of the way im playing. i can only attest to my personal experience, obviously the mileage may vary depending on a bunch of different factors. one of them would be that the rupture-spread gameplay is actually quite exhausting

#

and easy to fuck up

cerulean whale
#

Is Darkmoon deck Fathoms good for assa?

livid bronze
#

You haven't provided proof that what your doing actually works better than CT.

cerulean whale
#

like is it worth the gold

nimble tartan
#

I think its a fine choice and probably the right one for m0 hb over ct tbh

#

But that stops once m+ rolls around

livid bronze
#

only if you are doing high M+ or progression raiding

hollow trail
marble hemlock
#

i mean, i can link a clip of me doing 25k+ dps on a pull with that build, sustained, but not sure thats gonna convince you either

royal lantern
#

if you wait til the next reset you get your fathoms for under 100k

#

on a high pop server

marble hemlock
#

especially since it doesnt say anything about how much dps i wouldve done with CT instead

royal lantern
#

the price is just dropping all the time

marble hemlock
#

ill be switching to CT once i get 25-30% crit and things will go a lot smoother

lofty sand
#

Some people say that Darkmoon deck is going to last a good while so it might be a good investment

livid bronze
#

logs would be fine if there's a log of HB and CT for the same pulls

lofty sand
#

I still haven't bought mine yet.

royal lantern
#

it sims better then some raid trinkets until they reach mythic lvl

livid bronze
#

Also, I'm not even 340 and I have 20% crit. 25% crit is not hard to get...

lofty sand
#

I got two very good trinkets so I dont feel like I need, but if you find it cheaper in your server I think its definitely worth it

versed finch
#

Just so random on the gear you get tho

royal lantern
#

341 and 19%crit, 32 with blightborn infusion

hollow trail
#

i bought individual cards and built a fathoms deck myself for ~97k yesterday @cerulean whale

versed finch
#

Haste is the hardest stat to come by. And it seems I need it most

calm stag
#

i dont understand the sim at all

royal lantern
#

@calm stag waths hard too understand? you did a simple quick sim

#

if you need stat weights etc, you need too chose that option

calm stag
#

yah but another rogue up here did 40k dps

#

gear didnt differ much

marble hemlock
#

that was a 40second fight on 8targets

royal lantern
#

it was aoe

not st

#

oh lol

His was an aoe burst fight lol

40k st dps, that guy is allready in the last raid tier!

calm stag
#

xd

#

where do i change the options?

marble hemlock
#

nah, were gonna hit 100k+ in last tier i think 😄

prisma pond
#

I'm sure by last raid well be well over 100k

calm stag
#

can i do it on the websites or is it through commands

royal lantern
#

~12k is for most people right now with good gear

calm stag
#

sustained 12k?

#

or 12k burst

marble hemlock
#

right below the field you copy/paste your /simc import into, you can change a bunch of options

royal lantern
#

5min dmg dummy fight

calm stag
#

@marble hemlock i dont have that field

hollow trail
#

raidbots thinks outlul can sustain 40k against 8 targets for 10 minutes. 🤔

calm stag
#

whats your general single target rotation btw guys?

hollow trail
#

40s sim against 8 is roughly equal to ST sim

marble hemlock
#

thats a sim im gonna try right now :p

lofty sand
#

I put up dots and I envenom as much as I can without letting my dots fall

#

thats my rotation

calm stag
#

yah same

#

vanish for garote

versed finch
#

Yep

hollow trail
#

@marble hemlock i dont really believe it.

Disclaimer, 8 targets for 10minutes guys. this it not ST

calm stag
#

vendette when possible

marble hemlock
#

well

calm stag
#

it doesnt get me 10k sustained tho

marble hemlock
#

seems fairly accurate

royal lantern
#

no way outlaw does 40k sustained

lofty sand
#

everything is basically used on CD. its not worth holding to most things now

nimble tartan
#

It doesnt tyran

prime stirrup
#

guys

#

look at the damn settings for that sim. 8 bosses

hollow trail
#

8 targets for 10minutes guys. that it not ST

royal lantern
#

outlaws aoe is shit after everything is on cd, its only strong right now cus stuff die's too the burst

nimble tartan
#

Thats not true either

marble hemlock
#

@hollow trail still 40k for assa on that config

hollow trail
#

but like... you realize that spending combo points resets CD's right??? im very rarely waiting on CD's

marble hemlock
#

but it doesnt rupture more than it needs to, which is what I think might be the wrong choice for multi-scent builds

lofty sand
#

@calm stag it depends on your gear and the fight. Simulation uses patchwekr fights where you dont move. You just sit there and press buttons, that basically doesnt exist in wow anymore

prime stirrup
#

take your outlaw crap to the outlaw page

royal lantern
#

shit=low, i use that word too often

calm stag
#

@lofty sand i see, that explains a lot 😃

hollow trail
#

i play all specs skanksy, i go where i please

#

@marble hemlock i would be really interested to see an actual attempt with 8x targets for 10m. i want to see if sin/outlaw can actually do it

marble hemlock
#

assa definitely can, i have no doubt about that

lofty sand
#

its just a guideline, dont take it too literally. Unless you're simming 10k and you're doing 5k, then you should probably worry

marble hemlock
#

the issue right now is that mobs die before you actually get to the part where you can maintain the optimal DPS

versed finch
#

Yeah

#

Need full bleed durations

#

By the time I get all my shit rolling the mob pack is dead

marble hemlock
#

and as i said

#

the cleave APL is kinda bad for assa, not sure it is for combat

hollow trail
#

its iffy

marble hemlock
#

still uses TB/vendetta for example

versed finch
#

St abilities lol

marble hemlock
#

and doesnt spread ruptures as much as it should

#

theres probably a breakpoint somewhere, depending on your stats/amount of scent traits, where you want to rupture even though youre capping energy

#

thats why in the multitarget sim for example, targets 2-4 have around 4.5-5k DTPS, whereas the later ones have 3.5-4k, since they dont get ruptured at all anymore

versed finch
#

Do u go for scent traits?

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

im running 2scent/1FoB right now

#

not sure if its worth switching out the FoB for another scent though

#

im guessing eventually youll want 1SS+2Scent

#

or triple scent, depending on forti/tyra

versed finch
#

I thought 3xSS would be best

#

Assumong it ever gets fixed

marble hemlock
#

oh, for singletarget, yeah

#

we were talking about dungeons mostly

royal lantern
#

we dont really know cus it will probably work when the expac is over

versed finch
#

Yeah ok

marble hemlock
#

so yeah, SS for singletarget rn, if they ever fix it not working correctly, and scent-stack for aoe

versed finch
#

Ok cool deal

#

Idk if I've seen many 340 azerite pieces with scent

#

I have all 3 that have SS, just waiting

marble hemlock
#

😄

#

i only have 1 340 piece with scent so far :<

versed finch
#

I'll have to check my studf

marble hemlock
#

and a 325 one

versed finch
#

I got the chest with dagger in the back tho

marble hemlock
#

but im not sure how fan of blades scales with AP/Hidden blades

weak pine
#

It doesn't matter what you have

versed finch
#

So that's nice for now

weak pine
#

Because the 355 from magni will be useful

marble hemlock
#

so 1fob/2scent might be better than 3scent for aoe

versed finch
#

Whys that jelo?

#

I remember looking at it but the traits weren't significant enough to remember

marble hemlock
#

for m+, esp highkeys, i expect the traits to be much more important than the ilvl

#

well, for the classes that actually have aoe traits that are very significant

cerulean whale
#

you guys don't want the shrouded in suffocation? i like it a lot

royal lantern
#

the dmg part doesnt work til the finaly bring out the fix

marble hemlock
#

*2nd fix

#

😄

cerulean whale
#

the damage on shrouded doesn't work?

royal lantern
#

yep

cerulean whale
#

yikes good to know

lone junco
#

@marble hemlock I guess you gave up learning sub for the week?

marble hemlock
#

wat

#

learning sub

#

😀

lone junco
#

Just sounded like you fell back to sin m+ already.

marble hemlock
#

well

#

im pretty sure its gonna be better for overall dps

#

so unless our grp is struggling with infested

#

ill just play assa

lone junco
#

Our burst cleave has been plenty fine around me.

safe matrix
#

also with higher crit sin should be able to do almost what sub does

#

with seal fate

lone junco
#

So it's just a wang out fight for the trash

marble hemlock
#

well, it ownt be able to burst infested like sub

#

but since you just kite the mobs away anyway, it wont really matter

#

and the high sustained aoe might be necessary since were planning on doing +10 boosts week1

lone junco
#

Set up your ruptures and the peel off for st exang on the ccd infest before the other trash finishes dying?

marble hemlock
#

currently playing TB in dungeons since the ST is kinda lacking already, and going exsang makes it worse

lone junco
#

I can see the boost packs lasting a long time.

marble hemlock
#

well, we might just have to pull smaller, since the runs dont have to be in time, and doing like 3-4mobs at a time sucks hard for sub

lone junco
#

I only have one high scent.

marble hemlock
#

same 😦

#

1x325 and 1x340

lone junco
#

Finally a 2nd deadshot.

marble hemlock
#

im wondering how fan of blades scales with AP (if at all) and HB

#

probably no AP scaling at all, but its certainly nice QoL to have the 15y range fok

lone junco
#

Interesting to have the if distance check prior to cast.

#

Would add mob count to the HB tracker.

marble hemlock
#

well, it has to be prior to the cast

#

since you cant apply the range increase retroactively 😄

lone junco
#

2scent 1fok seems good.

marble hemlock
#

so it checks for available targets in 11y, if its 3+, itll increase to 15y

#

but im guessing the damage increase is flat

lone junco
#

Have you had an anchor drop on sap yet?

marble hemlock
#

and just gets slapped onto the fok after the damage calcs

#

havent really sapped anything

#

i heard squall is proccing on poly though

lone junco
#

Ah. I sap for the expeditions. Plan to sap for skips In m+

marble hemlock
#

might be different for melee, since it says attacks

#

and i dont think sap is tagged as an attack

lone junco
#

I do have pickpocket bound to sap.

#

Gimmme that loot. And I'll drop an anchor on you.

#

I'll verify next time. Just re sap humanoid over and over.

#

What are the weights for your dad build? Raw crit?

dense cedar
zenith oak
#

lul dadbuild

lone junco
#

I'm very dad. And can tab bleed with the goodest of them.

#

Def not "best of them". Went with a step down.

marble hemlock
#

what do you mean with dad build? 😄

chilly marsh
#

Azerite Shrouded Suffocation is still bis even with the nerf and no combo point stacking ?

marble hemlock
#

you mean the one im playing in dungeons/expeds rn?

lone junco
#

3x rupture.

chilly marsh
#

kind of a boring power to stack

marble hemlock
#

crit>vers>rest for aoe, crit>haste=vers for ST

lone junco
#

6t 40s

marble hemlock
#

well, youre gonna 6rupture

lone junco
#

What's what I expected.

marble hemlock
#

cause scent is op :<

dense cedar
#

👃 op

lone junco
#

Sure. But since the juice is in the fok. It's all crit verse

marble hemlock
#

4.5k agi base right now, ~6-5k with 6t ruptures 😃

#

yeah

#

fok is 30-40% overall

lone junco
#

And that's not even counting trinkets.

marble hemlock
#

pretty riduculous

lone junco
#

A nice use at 6x for another 2k would be cool

marble hemlock
#

but its alright, the fok-meme return is always refreshing

lone junco
#

That's my style. Dot you dot you dot you dot you. Trinket. FOK YOU ALL

#

It turns FOK into a glaives.

marble hemlock
#

yup

#

fok was ~2.2k average noncrit for me last time

strange python
#

What trinket?

lone junco
#

I had a use condition one a few days ago. Pretty sure it was an agi buff.

#

Once I get daggers and 2x rupture I'll nail it down.

marble hemlock
#

playing DMC+RTB trinket right now

lone junco
#

There are crit and verse and agi ones. Plenty to work with.

#

Loa doll with fathoms for now.

marble hemlock
#

dont think agi trinkets are really worth in aoe since you get a shitton just from scent

#

so you mostly want secondary stat ones

lone junco
#

It really just depends on what i have at the time.

#

Apl is still angry with ss garrote.

#

It burns the 3rd subterfuge due to cp cap.

#

I really doubt the rupture at t=3 is worth more than the overcap + 3rd subterfuge.

#

Lol. Avg tb crit =20k. Wtf.

#

13k garrote crit tick avg.

#

I need daggers. Naow

#

Sin DPE is funny. 70k per garrote

ebon bramble
#

what

#

does it hit that hard?? O_o

lone junco
#

The sim is probably still using the shrouded garrote bonus.

#

Or tB?

royal halo
#

I dont see a lot of assassination rogues in queue. Is the spec falling behind the other two?

ebon bramble
#

yes

#

because stuff dies so fast during trash pulls

#

and mythics is all about the trash mobs

safe matrix
#

m0 is all about burst dps
