But still gonna make Garrote look silly on short fights either way
No real way around it
Without a redesign
I mean it should be nerfed inasmuch as it's just way more powerful than the other traits
and Prio vuln phases for like Mother and Ghuun
If they are going to nerf Deadshot and BitS to be roughly the same as the other top-end generics and such
Then SS should be adjusted as well
its really awkward to use since it requires stealth.
However
long sustained fights like zul. its lost in the mix.
If it is competitive for "normal" fights
It will pretty much always be very good in dungeons due to the Stealth
I would rather they not nerf if, than fix the bug. If i had a choice.
o/ hai kojiyama
What bug are you referring to?
but as is the trend, anything I enjoy gets nerfed.
the 4th garrote dumping off the SS.
idk how thats still not fixed
garrote on any target out of subterfuge dumping all 3 buffs.
so i'm simming a 3-target patchwerk with no buffs and it's coming out to like 16k. and when i practice on the group of 3 target dummies outside of boralus, i end up at like 12k. keeping up rupture on all 3, applying garrote when it's up, using fok for combo points... what am i missing?
@prisma cypress do you have SS traits?
no
get them
Are you simming with raid buffs?
no, i'm simming with buffs off
i feel like i must be doing something majorly wrong but i can't figure out what it is
Azerite emmisary box gave me SS shoulders twice/.
freehold drops them
i have the shoulders
i'm trying to get the helm from shrine
and running shrine is aids if you don't manage to get a good group
running is aifs
*aids
can someone explain to me weapon dps on raidbots, i dont understand what it means by 1 point
Someday I'll get a SS chest, but that day is likely not to come any time soon
as in 1 damager on the wep = x increase?
I believe it's 1 weapon tooltip DPS
i was dissapointed to see that garrotes were the same with dagger and 2.6
nah.
just some of it.
but it didnt happen.
hey i dont know if my english is not sufficient enough but i dont understand the ss bug. what should i NOT do in order to max. my dps
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
hey guys, looking into swapping to assassination. I see the t90 is either TB or Exang, and t100 is PB for ST and anything for dungeons.. It seems i can basically just run the same build no matter what?
if you cast garrote after subterfuge ends you lose the damage bonus on the other ones
so does this mean i should have only 3 garrotes max while aoe?
and after they run out i can do whatever?
ah okay then i didnt do much wrong i guess, thanks
that seems silly
it helps me concentrate
i have tested the 4 dummies in zuldazar, 3 garrotes out of stealth and 1 normal. the normal one was 1.7k ticks and the others 5.4 or something, so is it really bugged?
you need SS>
i have 3
you need subterfuge
2*
g g g watch the ticks.
they will be 7k ish with 15k ticks.
use your combat log
then just do a 4th garrote. the ticks will drop to 2k ish
aight this adds up
also a question about poison bomb
i found that it consistently was worse than crimson tempest
atleast in all my m+ runs
is this normal?
yea
@strange python yeah CT >> in m+.
yea thats what i really learned to love
gross CT
i'm stuck on a +10 here for more than an hour the tank asks for cc on every pull like he'll be 1shotted by the 200k hp mobs
in my experience doing a lot of +5/+6, i'd say yeah
so its pretty much raid only
or temple
^^
1 last question, do we still pool energy? is there any disadvantage if i do not?
i do pool when about to pop tb and have enough time left on rup/gar
so i can maintain more ep uptime
im literally destroying subs and outlaws.
teach me your ways senpai
im loving this spec rn
well, guess what happens when they fix ss
i mean the 50% overall damage component
what are garrote and rupture's pandemic times?
but without ss, sin would be below outlaw suddenly in st again
it's just 1/3 of the duration, right? i dont recall how it works
all these fist weapon WQs for a 340 and not a dagger in sight
rupture 7.2 s with 5 cp's
is there a good dungeon to farm for a set of daggers with good other drops? Was doing freehold but don't know if that's optimal
kingsrest / atal'dazar
is there anyway to sim for m+?
idk i always sim 5 target 1 min
Tbh. I do 6t 40s. And 1t 2min.
It's kinda important to have something that works for both. So the stacked knife trait will be garbage. etc.
refresh dots before using Exsanguinate on cd?
where do the shoulders with ss drop? i'm not seeing them in any of the dungeons
not on pull obv
Yeah. Garrote mut rupture trinket exsang.
thanks ongbak
aint got no galecallers, but I'm not sweating it
I figured
I have a 2min crit one.
😄
Pandemic exsanguinate or let it fall?
Fall off.
You're the tits. Thanks.
having a ton of fun with exang rn tbh much more entertaining than TB
Is exsang better atm?
Gotcha
is sin the new spec for raiding?
Brewmaster is pretty good.
Ring of Peace super nice this week for necrotic sanguine
To be entirely transparent, all specs doing well, Assassination tends to perform better in progression due to its' sticky damage. Some encounters are simply better suited for other specs as their burst cleave suits the encounter better, and so long sustained DPS is taken into consideration all are fine.
They also all play differently, so don't end up playing something you hate.
every spec has a benefit and strength right now which is really cool and refreshing
when do you play toxic blade and when do you play exsanguine?
They have similar sims. But different damage profiles. We will start seeing logs with both.
Yeah at this point just play TB or EX depending on which you like more.
TB is more frequent and requires more pooling to make sure you are maximizing ENV damage.
EX requires understanding mechanics a bit more and planning where you us Vanish, Vendetta, and EX.
An example for how literally every spec is good at the moment is Heroic Zek.
EX and TB work well on big adds, CT is great for small adds.
OTL cleave is a monster here as it works in every add variety.
SUB cleave and their burst are wonderful if and when you tank is stacking the boss and the big adds.
Just matters that you know how to apply your buttons.
why do we garrote twice in begnning?
For longest possible duration through the pandemic mechanic.
do we wait until a buffed garrote fully runs out to reapply a normal garrote?
Yes never override an empowered Garrote in any way.
are there any good weakauras that keep track of buffs/dots? i.e. empowered garrotes
Nah I like my first answer better.
i'm currently using infexious gaming's one but it doesn't keep track of empowered garrotes
If you are going to override an empowered Garrote, it has to be with another empowered Garrote.
Currently tracking empowerment is a little janky.
so we wanna keep garrot and rupture up 100% of time?

Mine currently tracks empowerment through some text.
ah ok
i guess its not totally necessary
Just make sure you are not applying Garrotes outside of the empowerment window until the empowered Garrotes fall off.
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
as there is a bug.
It's nice to know when you do or do not have an Empowered Garrote as there can be a lot of other things going on.
all i allowed to link log here
The overly stickiness of that WA is interesting as it will continue to show until you cast a Garrote that is either empowered or not and update then.
So if you can see the boss unitframe or current empowered target unitframe, you can easily see if it's still there.
Can use something like EnemyGrid as well.
@strange python You can link logs but there is no promise that anyone will look over them.
just got 99% on fetid felt like sharing, lol
Gratz
how do you know when garrote is empowered
how to fix?
Not on your part.
WCL thing.
Easy enough to just add them together.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Nice to see Laser Matrix doing work though 👌
That doesn't look broken though
yeah I was happy to use matrix it's flavorful
He has 1 instance of the Heed trait, them not being combined in the logging is weird.
Heed has two damage components
I think the only piece I have now from Uldir is Array/Shroud so > _>
That's just showing them separate
Also interesting to see that the aoe component of heed also hits the main target
Pretty much
so simcraft shows exsang being up there yet it sims lower for me than tb
the most alone TB ever > _>
SIMc uses a "default" gearset so it can get correct results across all traits/trinkets etc. You should always SIM yourself to figure out what is best for you personally.
i mean i know this i was just wondering if theres something i was missing
nope this one wins more loneliness.
So should we pull energy for tb? Just swapped to assa and heard i should use it on cd
i have 14% haste
So i need to make sure i won't have to rupture and that i have enough energy, got it
Yeah, can refresh Rupture @ 3CP before TB if you need to.
prior to tb. yes. so you dont have to delay anything.
what does env mean
Envenom
o
Envy
heh
Troll i think
for sur ety
so what you're telling me is that pandaren female is the way to go
Pandaren is pretty high up there
so the helmet for ss drops in shrine huh? wish i knew where else to get it, ive been pretty unlucky
Providing a detailed set of information and data regarding Azerite Traits and Azerite Armor for all classes in the upcoming World of Warcraft exapansion – Battle for Azeroth.
ezpz
I have 1/3 SS and the grind to get anymore weekly has me DRAINED
Got lucky and got all 3 today
@civic palm I'm trying out your WA but it's not showing up after I load it
What are the best weapon enchants for sin rogues?
How do you even grind those?
dungeons
@rocky pumice Quick and "crit" version navigtion
Yeah but mythic dungeon is once per week
does it matteer which weapon gets what eenchant?
And m+ doesnt drop azerite gear at the end
I dont think so
@hoary totem Make sure your WA is the most recent version and you've reloaded, might be some weirdness.
alright, thanks
Also make sure you're the right spec O _O
lol I am
damn how much haste do i need for exsang to overtake tb
White prob
yellow
Yeah idk, just updated WA and tried fiddling with the conditions and its still not coming up
rip
Guess I'll stick to my old one

i ❤ devlins WAs
soooo assi going to be top now with these nerfs to sub and law
Maybe.
ayeeeohhhhh
well when assa and sub are close enough
its like
why sub?
assa doesnt have to overtake it
it just makes sub irrelevant
by being close enough to it
hold onto this for a second
For m+ i wouldnt be surprised
Do you think Shrouded Suffocation is fine?
Do you guys use ct in m+?
its the top trait
Sub you have to choose st or aoe build and be bad at the other, outlaw is great for trash packs mostly. I think assa is the most well rounded spec for m+
so i notice all guides recommend EP as a talent
but i dont see anything about clipping it anymore
still a thing?
Tb or ct in m+ bois? Plis
what’s the nerf to the other specs? i only see the pvp stuff on mmoc?
hey guys i just switched to assassination and im confused on what i should be looking to have before i cast exsanguinate
You should have bleeds
so with 3x ss would my opener include double garrote?
M+ or ST?
M+ but ST interests me too
m+ trash. g g g ct fok fok rupture fok fok rupture.
prio targets either get exang or vendetta exang depending on beef
the g g g section is supposed to be on different mobs correct?
yes
CT always felt like garbage to use, has it changed in BFA?
ok appreciate the help!
if 2, then g tab g g r
G g on the prio
You double garrote to get the pandemic duration of the buffed up garrote
30%
CT is one button in sins super simple aoe rotation
No as in.. what does pandemic duration mean?
I'm always confused when ppl talk about it not feeling good
Pandemic was an old warlock only mechanic where if you refreshed dots before tbey were done, part of the remaining duration would be added to the new one
Pandemic: The act of refreshing a DoT while it is under 30% of it's maximum duration. This will allow you to add the remaining time to the new DoT (this only works 1 time and cannot be stacked).
it doesn't have any oomph, poison bomb is loud and gross.
When a debuff/buff overwrites itself it can add it up to 30% of it's base duration to the new cast
O _O
how do you guys track ss?
Ohhh i see
is it just how many CPs you have?
So on st you do 2 garrotes anyways?
Yes
G rupture g mut rup
Pandemic: The act of refreshing a DoT before it expires to transfer up to 30% of its' total duration to the refreshed DoT. This will allow you to add the remaining time to the new DoT (this only works 1 time and cannot be stacked).
This is better worded.
Could also add that the named is reference to an old warlock ability, i think the name pandemic is what confuses most people
¯_(ツ)_/¯
If they wanna know where it's from, sure, but that doesn't really matter so long it's labeled as a mechanic.
Correct.

I got a first mate's spyglass ilvl 330 and a Harlan's Loaded Dice ilvl 350, which one is best for mythic+ and which one is best for ST?
darkmoon is pretty trashy for cleave. i was just looking at it. with a fat sad face.
need something that runs a full uptime haste or crit, like the maiden mastery trinket.
Hello, i heard the sims in assa were bugged with a false CD on exsangue and vendetta, any info ?
Yeah, proof of that first please.
quick question: why does haste value drop so much in multi target? is the increased dot tick rate just not significant enough to out-value mastery?
got told by a friend that sins topping now?
checks the charts
I don't wanna trigger ya but uh. got a link?
thank you
looks like with 385 gear the gap will be even bigger
so assa scales better than sub now?
TY!
It's in the pins and the guide.

@river quarry If you go through the WA Templates you should be able to find one under the traits listening in Weakauras itself.
801-02 accurate on simc nightly?
lol sadly only got 2 sharpened blades and 1 shrouded suff 😦
Viable to play rogue only with one garrote trait? I got 18% haste and wanna change to my main spec since ever. Thoughts?
welli have 1 ss trait and 12% haste have been parsing 96-98% so im sure its viable 😉
hm theres nothing for sharpened blades actually :S @civic palm
@primal sigil thank you zaan, can you ask you somethin on private?
is double dagger best on assa?
yes
thought you said double dose for a sec
Can you even cast mutilate without 2 daggers?
no, you cant
so just use poisoned blade when you hit 30 stacks?
can i snapshot rupture/garrote with the elaborate planning buff?
no shapshoting in wow anymore aside form feral iirc
So gemming these days should just be agi?
hmmm simc says exsanguinate build is doing better....is anyone actually seeing that???
i assume mastery would take a much more important role if that were the case
does the stat prio actually change if u take exsang
are you guys using exsang or toxic blade for m+?
exsang
should i cast CT on ST?
@hollow barn and what talent on the last row?
Pb
in M+ tho should i use it on boss
Gear?
Also dummies suck for testing
i suppose
Since you drop combat with vanish
this was overall, so i didn't drop dmg by vanishing
Try running ep
if any1 is bored can they do a dps check on a training dummy and share the results?
quite curious now 😃
Just simmed myself: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jEEv8B8njF81wYBkFhLsyV
pulled 11.1 K on training dummy after 4 mins. Not sure how to get that extra 1.4k dmg gap
between 1.1 and 12.8
11.1*
Btw @storm epoch if you’re simming with default options it takes buffs and hero and pots into account
@sinful lotus you simmed yourself with full buffs + bl, disable and try again
@strange python Ah good point. Let me try
Ok currently Simming with No buffs etc...On a side note, I burst for 25-30k, then quickly drop down to 15k, stay at 15k for a bit, then down to 12-11k. Does that sound normal?

pb hitting other dummies?
No i'm in Zuldazar oin the training dummy with at least 10 yars to other dummies
speaking of WA's, any way to make a weakaura to show my subterfuge garrotes
Are we supposed to be simming with light movement
You’re summing light movement, not Patchwerk
oh
I sim like 9.5k and only do like 8.7k on the Raider dummy over 5 mins
Also, which traits do you have?
Only reason I was simming light movement is to be more accurate for Mythic +/raiding.
Also, 3 X SS
Try patchwerk then post again
whats your gear
are you finishing @ 4+ cp?
pandemic timers?
Try simming with EP
EP ?
Elaborate Planning
are you refreshing dots within pandemic?
i am
EP also sims higher for me
With patchwerk, no buffs, 4 Min fight: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4b7sQW2yw4wTjdUug5tu6Z
I can follow the opening XSang rotation alright. What about the second round of CD;s? Do i wait to lineup Vanish, Vendetta, Galecallers, and Xsang for a similar burst?
how do you sim no buffs
This means, holding onto Vendetta and Xsang for 15-20 Secs to wait for Vanish
You wait, yes
ok cool 😃 thank you!
It's in your apl
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
2:20 mark
i must be fking my rotation up or smth idk
thats with pots and stuff tho?
Also @sinful lotus you simmed 4 mins which means that you won't get the benefit of the 4:20 cd's which is huge
no buff
Oh shig
if the buff says 0, the buff wasn't simmed
You're supposed to wait for vendetta to line up with vanish after pull rotation?
oops
ehhhhhhhhh
😅
If you're running ss yes
riiip bois
I meant before
It was nerfed
It's still strong, check herodamage
i might have to go back to outlaw, i'm trash at assa, evidently
Is there any azerite gear that gives ss in raids?
you ran the sim with food, talents, pots and flask still
i mean
rune
not talents
didnt change anything except that
gotcha
Hmmm, got Galecaller's Boon 360 yesterday, it sims better than my 355 Harlan, but not really sure which one to pick for M+ cuz of the constant moving 😦
I'd pick harlan's in m+
am I fucking something up?
FoK on Zul heroic and getting like 1 combo point over and over
;_;
How many targets?
Crit?
Pretty low
ah. so instead of haste crit go crit>?
Sim yourself
how many targets would you add to sim?
with 22% crit and 14% haste, it still says haste > crit for MT for me.
hecticaddcleave?
mm
ty
there's a tutorial questline
where is that?
weird, i thought it just drops you in a scenario or at least gives you the questline to get the abilities
last time i boosted there was stuff i had to do in blasted lands
when im in M+ spec (CT) do i cast CT when im only fighting a single target as well?
well it doesn't generate energy, so look at your tooltip. Does it do more damage than envenom? If no, then no.
ok ty
plus envenom's got tthat poison buff so, pretty much never unless theres another add
why hecticaddcleave says haste when ravenholdt says crit mastery for m+?
i personally prefer haste crit
every top m+ runner is running crit mastery
Cuz they prob all just swapped from Sub to Sin?
nah
sub needs haste too anyway
but that isnt the reason
they would swap enchants
Sub doesn't need haste MT though
So if my stat weights are crit>haste, and I am running deadly and quick enchants, does what weapon theyre on matter? Ive never thought so, but watched a sin guide that said it did so now i dunno
yes they do
oh wow, okay. didnt know that. thanks

oh yeah, ig i could do that
simming it right now
As far as I know, weapon in MH has a SLIGHT higher proc chance since its being used more often in combat. Pushing your abilities uses your MH weapon.
Also, can someone tell me what their typical AOE rotation looks like? Ive always played Outlaw and Sub, but want to try out sin
Ah, okay. I'm simming it so i'll check
True, better re-enchant
mine showed 13 dps
or swap mh/oh :c
time to spend some gold!@
both 340 anyways haha
my main is 360 and off is 355 tho :/
oh nvm, 345 and 340 :p
raidbots tooltip was showing right item when hovering over left
Sorry to repeat this, but can someone explain the aoe rotation? Just switched from Sub earlier
There's a guide right there at the top
I dont really see anything about aoe except priority of spenders. Unless I'm missing something.
explain what exactly?
Garotte until subterfuge ends, spend cp on rupture if they will live long enough, otherwise envenom
Spam fok for cp gen
if >3targets :c
I have one ss trait. My main question is, should I be casting rupture on everything that will live long enough?
3-4 targets
Isnt fok worth on 2+ over mut
Oh ok. I think that was my biggest problem on aoe. I was just using it on priority target
No, 3
Thanks guys
Garr > tab > garr > tab > garr > CT if using it > (if facing 6 targets use vanish and apply garr to the remaining targets) > fok and apply ruptures
(tab = tab on your keyboard to change target)
insta 20k dps gg
after all those garottes, /afk ;p
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
Yes, let your emp garrs run out before applying garrs out of stealth
takes practise
Oh damn. ok
loool
You guys think the SS will be nerfed? Seeing as Garrote does a shitton of the DMG? (even on ST)
It's possible given deadshot and blade in the shadows got nerfed
They could also keep the bug and that could be the "nerf" :p
The bug isn't too bad as long as you remember it
okay i switched some stuff up and i burst 17k and hold 8k over 4m damage on a raider dummy no
now
still feel like i could be doing more
but thanks for the help

Pandemic extension for exsanguinate
So exang is viable now?
can some1 explain to me why i only gat 3 CP even tho i have 2xShrouded Suffocation ?
only damage stacks
guys, toxic blades or exsang for m+ ?
say i was to overcap with toxic blade before envenom, would it be worth it or just envenom toxic blade?
@peak sapphire can u explain some more? Just seing this as opener on ravenhold
Just for full rupture before exshang ?
hey guys whats "EXSG"?
exsanguinate
@desert pelican
pandemic is a game mechanic that lets you refresh dots up to 30% extra on top of their default duration
ah okay t y
so the longer your rupture/garrote have left when you use exsanguinate, the better
yo maybe someone can answer this for me x D so if i have a 960 dagger and a 950 dagger does it matter which one of the weapons go in mainhand or off hand?
highest dps in mainhand
how bout the enchants?
After 1st vanish in the opening rotation we do 2x garrote into rupture? (With 1x SS trait)
@summer coyote if you look back 30 mins in this channel, someone simmed enchants and they appear to be the same so it doesnt matter
sweet man thanks for the time
If specced into Elaborate Planning, is it better to spam 3-4 combo point eviscerates for uptime on EP or prioritise 4-5 CP evis?
Eviscerate is sub only
i mean envenom
Try your best to maintain EP with 4-5 cps, otherwise clip envenom buff
that's what I've heard
ah ok, so EP buff isn't that high priority
It is but you can't keep it up 100%
i remember in legion it was in rotation to do 3-4 combo envenoms to maintain high uptime on EP
So do I but I don't think that's the case anymore, maybe during vendetta
yeah, thanks for the help
BACK TO SIN BABY
any1 else also get only 3 CP after Garrote from stealth even tho i have 2x Shrouded Suffocation traits or they don't stack ?
If we agree that in Mythic + Sin is probably better ST than Outlaw, at what Mythic + Level does Sin beat/compete with Outlaw rogue on trash/aoe/cleave ?
Just trying to figure out if I should continue as Outlaw for Mythic + or switch over to Sin 😃
do I need to let the exsang rupture hit 0 before refreshing it?
or can I do it any time in pandemic range
I think you let your Buffed Bleeds completely drop to 0
outside of the Xsang you can refresh during pandemic
Any idea if sin rogues are going to pull ahead of sub/outlaw in m+/raiding?
Ah, I haven't been staying ahead, interesting to see exsang is up there again
Double garrote after 1st Vanish?
So with 3+ mobs, as Sin, you garrote rupture all 3, then which one do you Xsang? It hits all 3 anyway right?
Or all current bleeds?
oh really? Doesn't affect all bleeds on all targets?
I have been playing sub and I was doing a heck of damage but given some of the nerfs, I'm not sure what I'll do. I enjoy all of the specs
@winter gale Yes
Anyone using trinket from first boss? Seems like this buff so rarely stuck to 10-_-
But this sweet haste/agi
If you got 5 cps when you pull a boss would you rup > garr > garr instead of garr > rup > garr?
@xiansho yes bleeds up or it's pointless
it makes your bleeds tick out twice as fast
@strange python I would assume so yes, since your first and 2nd rup will probably be overwritten by you last rupture before you hit xSang. Right? And no point wasting Combo points by going straight into 2 Gar if you have max Combo Points. Could be wrong though.
guys i need some pre-emissary-cache-ritual that increases my chance to get my ss shoulders from the random 340 azerite armor, any suggestions? :^)
Is there any guide on how to open with sin correctly?
in pins
heya, when using xsang should I let my sped up bleeds wear off before replacing them or replace them at 5-7 seconds as per normal
so shrouded suffocation highest dmg, but u want to stack them or ?
@shell tusk ya I have the same question
Stack them x 3
I think if it's not a nightstalker buffed one it's ok to refresh but need confirm from someone
What in sin snapshots besides nightstalker? Does Elaborate Planning?
is dpsing through the wall on mother bad
nice warfronts blizz
no @severe hemlock
@shell tusk Everything i've read tells us to let our Buffed Xsang bleeds completely fall off
cheers 😃
If you reapply an unbuffed Gar or Rup to a buffed Gar or Rup i believe you lose the benefit of those last few Buffed ticks
it feels right to, anyone still playing around with sharpened blades as an azerite trait?
So when playing EP and Subterfuge there’s no snapshotting besides not overwriting garrotes from stealth?
Yes
Thanks.
For st not much, everything else yes
Oh and does envenom apply to FoK?
snapshotting?
@severe hemlock was answering someone else. Just keep highest uptime on ep as much as possible. Let buffed dots fall off, rest refresh on normal 5 and 7 s time remaining
Yes.
Cool. And envenomed wrt FoK?
Alright so i want to keep on top of envenom clipping / pooling on aoe. Thanks a bunch!
After envenom your fok has higher chance to apply poison
what do you mean with snapshot? reapplying the dot for a longer duration?
Ep buffs your current dots so already applied dot is increased by new ep
Oh actually one more thing. Say i’m doing m+ and i have ss. On a pull of 3 mobs i want to just garrote * 3 right?
Assuming cause of latency i cant garrote *2 rup then garrote.
I’m assuming the garrote is worth more than 2 cps.
Yes. If u garrote 4th one your ss buffs disappears. Ty bliz
Wait what?
Check the pins
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
Sorry i only picked up sin yday, our rogue left our m+ group.
And we want shroud. :D
Oh god that’s really dumb. But also don’t want blizz to fix it cause they’ll prolly nerf ss while they’re at it. 🤔
@meager knoll snapshot Ing is overwriting weaker dot for stronger. So if u subterfuge gar and then normal gar over it you snapshoted your stronger one for weaker one
And lose the buffed one. Same the other way arround
Its more like.... back in the day the way dots worked was if you had a damage amplifier (pot and trinket procc say) your dots would be stronger for the whole duration. So they would “snapshot” your current stats.
Now most dots update dynamically.
But back in the day you’d want to apply dots with trink procs or damage buffs and not refresh them unless you had stronger procs / the dot fell off.
Yes it's works as ep now. Only thing u snapshot now is NS and subterfuge
What about it
don't reapply the dots affected by exsang until they run out either?
Ofc. You reply u waste exa
Right.
Reaply
BiS Head with SS trait is from shrine of the storm right?
yes
Helm= shrine Shoulders= freehold Chest= G’huun
anyone know if Warfronts can drop every slot from the 370 cache?
Gutter, you mean Chest from Fetid?
if my dots are at 60% and ensang is coming up do I refresh them or delay esang till they expire and get fully reapplied?
I need to adjust my WA timers, full pandemic for 5-point rupture is 7.2s? What is the pandemic reapplication time for garotte, 5.2s? Thanks
@old escarp 7.2 and 5.4
Arena chest also has SS, none of the other pieces unfortunately
@fossil sluice Thank you! One more question; if you reapply rupture/garotte after usning exsang, do you overwrite the exsang bleeds? Can you overwrite in pandemic window or do you have to wait till they fall off similar to SS garotte?
Fall off
Which prepot are you using guys ? Bursting or Agility one ? I'm hesitating
Agility
does no one know what to do when ensang comes back off cd and your dots are at like 50-70% duration left?
Yeah I'm not sure either
Better yet, plan ahead so they're refreshed when exsang comes of cd
noob question, how to pair vendetta with vanish 2nd time? delay vendetta?
vanish and vendetta should stay on same CD timing, youll just vanish halfway through vendetta on 2nd use
youll use 2nd vendetta, and vanish will be on ~10s CD before its red
Been playing Outlaw but a question occured to me when reading the sin guide. 1- are most people running exsanguinate for dungeons now? 2- if you are running exsanguinate do you use it on cooldown with your bleeds prepped up, or are you always looking to synchronize it with Vendetta or vanish?
well you can sync the first time
do it naked second time and delay 3rd time, that's what I'm doing at least
@old escarp thx, So 2nd Burst is diffrent from opening burst? cause I can't use Garrote-Rup-Garrote at once.
For the most part though, you want to use exsang on CD though right?
mostly yeh
Ok.
Ish.
^
I realize there are tweaks and things you'll have to do to set it up.
SS trait is awesome and painful at the same time xD
Vendetta at 5 sec. vanish at 15 sec. vendetta vanish at 215
Your fourth exsang should line up well with cds
So exang 1 at 6 sec. 2 at 55 ish.
With some mental counting
So number 3 is ready at 140.
You either use on cd and push vanish back closer to 230.
Or you delay 3rd and can vendetta vanish at 215
With Vendetta and vanish if you are syncing them up, do you vendetta inside of Vanish into Garrote or Vendetta before you vanish?
Probably the better option with the strength of garrote now
When you look at a profile. We see that the mid block has piddle dick value.
Vendetta is 20sec? Exsang on double garrote is 12sec.
So just vendetta first.
dungeon finder down fo ryou guys too?
Do you apply the full duration rupture before the vendetta - vanish
The only timing thing that matters. Is that a exsang snapshots the haste. So if you have a haste trinket 1min or 2min. Use Before.
Always.
Normal rotation then Vanish g g r exsang.
Kk
It will pump your rupture to max pandemic assuming it was over time anyway.
The sim does not align trinkets for this.
For dungeons with exsang do you just exsang the largest target and still weave dots everywhere else?
/use will fucking pump. So make sure it's aligned.
Once per pack i put the exsang into the biggest of the pack.
G g g Ct. big mut mut rupture exsang.
Galecallers /use 
do you reapply rupture at all time if exsang is about the be rdy
I don't have it yet. But the crit use is 2min and will do
Do you double g the same big dude or spread the subterfuge g's
Depends. If 2T. Double one of them. For exsang.
Ooo I've got that big dick agi trinket from pvp
Kk
If 3 t. Always spread.
Never do a 4th.
And garrote elites first.
Click target if you have to.
Once exsang is pumping. I will kidney. For prey.
Cc and prio pump.
How many cp?
Trip wire is probably really useful for some m+
Just like one cp kidney to proc it?
With all this g spam
Pron aim for 4+. Cause you want the duration.
Ahh
In a group that's probably better than the env. But solo probably not
I think internal bleeding ends up being more damage if you're doing it at high cp
Env is like 15k?
Yeah
Been watching some streamers bringing Sin rogues to higher keys which Is why I'm picking your brain again.
So if your group pumps 150k in 6 seconds prey will pull ahead
MethodJB was running 10s with a sin rogue.
The group dmg is gonna be more and Internal needs to be up before kidney so it fucks things up.
Seli is doing 10s with sin.
And he is always top.
I am top in every group I've done
But scrub lvl.
Don't get me wrong Ourlaws a blast (especially this week with exsang) but later keys with more kiting and tougher bosses.
Ooof
Ct is really really good for that.
I mean sanguine*
FOK FOK Ct.
Yeah exactly.
Minus the Crimson Tempest, that's why I liked my assassination rogue last expansion.
OL has been a fresh change actually having AoE burst after playing legion.
Butttt I love DoT management.
Is the ss bug that's in the pins still a thing?
ya
Fuck lol
Tbh it's not too big of a deal, but something to be aware of
So it's much better to apply the 3 out of stealth and let them run out instead applying more or? I have 3 ss
ye
On a 4 target pack your damage will cut roughly in half if you apply that 4th garrote
Ooof
I wonder what +key is CT talent the wae to go. I mean Pb ain't half bad, is it
At least that's what I've noticed
PB is doing about 3% of my overall damage for a dungeon
Not that great
And CT?
Is there a written rotation order for single target ss openers about
I do wanna try Sin, but it sims almost 2k lower than both Sub and Outlul
imma wait to get some stuff
Yeah CT is more
I mean. If I spec CT and fight pure st boss... Do I add CT to the rotata?
No
I have a 355 Harlan's and Fathoms. Would those be decent for assassination since no Galecallers?
Unless there's some kiting and your other bleeds are long enough
@delicate root I see. Thanks.
Well come tuesday with the nerfs to out & sub sin might be simming closer
Was thinking about switching from assa but maybe i should stay
Yes. Weekly been updated like yesterday, can confirm
Hmm time to do some rechecking, I thought that 5% nerf across the board to out/sub was going to be massive
Is the exsang fully updated, because I keep checking and TB still outperforms it
Do i want alot of hast or crit for exsa? or both?
For me ex Sims 300 dps lower than tb což 17 haste and low crit 21. With ex crit adds up on value quite a bit
I finish M+10 yesterday with ilvl350 single target trinkets so just do youre rotation right and you will be fine,
@civic locust both, but sim yourself
Exa seems to be crit and haste heavy. If u have over 25 crit and like 17 +haste, I can see exa over sim tb
Interesting
The % numbers might be slightly off, but crit gets much better with exa, that's a fact
Had like 1,99haste and 1,4 crit with tb and 2 something crit value per point with exa
Oh nice
im 22/16 crit haste and exs sims just slightly higher
Maybe my sub pvp set will find more use
I love sub dps but fck the fact I need 2 gear sets for m+ and heroic... Nah ty
24% crit with abt 1300 mastery lol
I mean hc uldir *
!wa

But I like exa openers. O boi.
Garrote damage is so insane lol
That's thing is juicy
Sin is so much fun in m+
Well... U press garotte, hehe. So much fun hehe
Hahahha
But I like ss trait is very versatile
so you like being a feral druid
Guys i just swapped to sin, like it so far ... Is there any way you dont apply dots when mb a mob is at 20%? Is it worth just pressing envenom or always better to redot?
I'd have dots running until the mob dies, especially rupture for the energy regen
always keep the dots up
Dots are the spec
@worldly sentinel the only thing that matters in M+ is your ss garrote open. Do not bug it, and you will do 20k dmg.
bug it and you end up like 8-10k
If a mob will die soon you can just get a low cost rupture on it to proc energy
To fuel more foks
I have such bad luck getting pcs with SS feelsbadman
the dungeon tab in herodamage, what does that mean?
3 enemys+?
3+ enemys
or 5 or how many?
thanks for the infos guys
Rupture refunds energy according on the time remaining. Atleast rupture.
In m+, after g g g ct I tab out ruptures 2+cp.
Same !
they will come out with more cps, as we gain crit.
If it's low hp mob dying in like 5 seconds, I don't bother dot tbh
I mean. in fat trash, you can just fok CT
And more ruptures!
cause it is way cooler
Haha
Sin had a very tight interaction with its kit in aoe atm
It's pretty cool
Almost a shame Garrote is so oppressively strong
do you have to maintain elaborate planning as sin?
like using 3 combo points etc to maintain it
During cds yes I say.... But just maintain at 4-5 cp
ok
@autumn bloom enjoy while it lasts.
If u have exa dots during vendetta, maintain ep for sure
Wonder how much my daggers being weaker than my slow weapons would hamper specc swapping.
is scent of blood better than ss in m+? it says so on hero dmg
That's also assuming you have all those ruptures out.
Im always so goddamn unlucky with azerite gear. I either get a 360+ item which has one of my worst traits, or a 320 that has my best. Absolutely ridiculous..
:-(
I'm only pulling about 11k atm because of that bull. It's way outrageous.
But... on a more positive note. Which one you people think is most effective, exsanguinate or TB? It's a question that has been bothering me for the longest of times. My guild is telling me to go outlaw, due to the low amount of stability from Assassination, but.. PERSONALLY I believe it has to do a lot with
-
Not a big understanding of the rotation and such, and
-
Azerite traits. Lol.
What do you mean by "low amount of stability"
