No idea
They'll probably add more rings
And they'll definitely add more "raid" themed traits
dang
They seem to struggle balancing spec specific traits though hahahha
I really want more traits that change the way you play
Considering Test of Might, Blade in the Shadows, Deadshot, et al
Blizz doesn't seem to like them too much considering they keep nerfing them lmao
No SeT BoNusEs, ThEy'rE BoRiNg - Blizzard
Haha
lol
peabrains
It's a classic blizzard move
Make a staple mechanic in the game boring on purpose
Then call it boring
Then remove it
HeRe's pAsSivE TrAiTs ThaT dOnt aDD aNyTHing - Also Blizzard
Thats so true ahahahah
what dungeon has best chance at daggers
"Deadshot needs to go, we'd much rather you use something fun and interesting, like Laser Matrix :^)"
its just whatevers on the table
no dungeon has 2 daggers in loot table?
Does exsg require you to reapply bleeds beforehand?
No
nope
But MOTHER drops 2 hahaha
thats a raid tho
and its still not 2x daggers
@lost heart yes
i am bit lost about how to cast SS garrotte.
what you need to know
?
Step 1: Cast Garrote from stealth
Step 2: Cast garrote 2 more times from stealth
Step 3: Profit
if i open from stealth with subterfuge talent, shall i cast 1 SS garrotte on the mob or shall i cast 2 garrotes in row to get it longer time on mob?
ahhh
on AoE, you garrote everyone
so its 3 garrottes in row
im pissed b/c im lowest ilvl in my dps team, middle to bottom on the chart, and i dont feel like simming myself 100 times with my combinations of azerite gear, and i just need bliz to stop being so GD stingy with the drops
ah ty m8 ๐
is GRG better than GGR if you're exsang?
GRG is the rotation for Exsang
give me rings, give me daggers, stop letting noobs gear faster than me
R gives you elaborate planning for the second g
how does exsanguinate work?
It makes your bleeds tick 2x as fast
So you exsang a 2-3cp rupture?
Rgrmr
Grgmr
so you full pandemic garrote
full pandemic rupture
then u exsang
and u have EP running
okay sure, that makes more sense
in a world where you don't have vendetta i wonder what's better
like for m+ or w/e
idk prolly just cutting the vendetta, losing any ticks on the garrote feels p bad though.
Vendetta will still be up for vanish gg again
The tricky part is lining vendetta, vanish, and ex again
u guys think assa will be better then sub overall?
yeah if the chest is good to me tomorrow i might swap sin full time
13k as sub, 12,5k as sin - thinking about going sin for mythic progression next week
Iโve been saving all my gear for the day sin takes over the world. I like sin a lot for raids, but outlaw is too much fun in M+.
implying SS wont be stealth nerfed by 80% tomorrow :^)
Do we lose damage by reapplying Rupture before an Exang'd Rupture completely ticks off?
Is it cool for me to link someone elses log? I'm just clueless where all this garrote dmg is coming from
lol
it's their top dmg
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.
look that trait up
There is a trait that increases the damage of each garrote tic, when you stack 3 of these traits you achieve SSx3 AND GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND
I thought that gave combo points
lol
gives 2 combo points
when cast from stealth, but also stacking dmg increase
with more ss traits
so you get alot of damage from it on opener
and than vanish cd window
does like 20-30% of dmg
do pieces have preset traits?
yes
I thought they rolled randomly
lol no
you just blew my mind
wew
theres even a trait finder on wowhead that will tell you which pieces have the trait you want
Hates something, doesn't even understand it > _>"
Are we pretending azerite is a good design?
I mean, the fact I have to regress from uldir to find a dungeon set of armor already feels awful
no ones defending azerite armor
yeah
@sonic spindle M0 run takes you 20min + 5 to form group just sounds like your whinging
Just bring back tier blizz has gotten really lazy
Azerite is fine, what's your problem > _>
Will we able to ever get azerite gear from mythic+'s?
Azerite > tier imo
Not from the end chest, probably not.
(other than weekly chest)
Well we might when the new set of traits is released.
rip
No, only the weekly chest
or just get the better shit out of raid > _>
does the raid have the right traits?
But there's only one piece of SS in raid
some do
I didn't see one with shroud
It has good traits.

Question about SS trait, do I wait for the buffed garrote tick to be over on 2 adds before putting garrote on the third mob because of the bug?
1 with shroud, still blind good job.
I asked if it did because I didn't see it
370 with laser matrix won't beat 370 with SS though.
Yeah
But it might beat a 355 with SS.
Just got chest from ghuun... Have to decide 3xSS vs +15ilvl
But it might beat a 340 SS
or flat out cz
Cx
I think there's also a sharpened shuriken in there too
Or sharpened blades I forget the name
Dont have to decide anything with the power of SIMS
There is no Sharpened Blades in raid.
Ye I know, but there's a bit more to it
Probably thinking of this
I guess 3xSS is gonna be better in dungeons
Laser Matrix might just shit on M+, I dunno.
I don't think so TBH.
But for raids you want to be able to trigger Reorigination Array eventually.
Get like 75 haste from it
Op op
Also scales weekly.
So it's gonna win out sooner or later.
or with a number of bosses killed, which is still technically weekly > _>
does 355 weapons upgrades a lot of your dps? i only have 340
MH dps is our primary stat, so yes
3xSS feels too good to drop
๐ฉ
I'm a whore for trait stacking, have 3xDS 3xBitS and 3xSS
How do your specs sim against each other
Post nerf Sin is stronger
In a similar situation with bis azerite and assassin is allot lower for some reason
I've had garbage luck with loot though
Pre-nerf it was like 13.1K Sin, 13.2K Sub, 13.4K Outlaw
Now it's like 13.1K Sin (still), 12.6K Sub, 12.4K Outlaw
Stat priority is different from outlaw to assa
ofc simmed with different stats
So if you're switching from outlaw
See mine was different. 13.1k outlaw / sub. Like 12.4 assassin
You'll be seeing bit of a loss
Yeah naturally it varies depending on what I have available
I tried to counteract it by changing enchants
and gems
in the sim
Ya pretty much. I'll do top gear sins for each
Yeah otherwise rip
Sims
Exactly what I did
I've been trying to play SIN the whole time but never get 340+ daggers
Lol
Yeah I am, just been unlucky
I'm in the same position
I have 345 mace and 340 fist so been playing outlaw
But I'm at like 12.9k so it isn't too bad
I'm still like 348, got guildies who are 10 ilvls higher than me ๐
Still outdps the crap classes ofc
Saaame
Lul
I've been very lucky with my 355 and 340 pieces and their Azerite
Been able to 3x all the good traits
But pure ilvl has been garbage
Me too man
I feel like I'll still play outlaw vs zul
Man OL will be so shot in pvp once the nerfs hit
Anyone whos a BE rogue, when do u guys use arcane torrent on ur opener?
will be a stun and blind bot
only thing nice about Outlaw was target swapping
but I prefer SIN rotation by far... so much RNG with RtB
is annoying
So I tried Assassination, but I cannot pull more than 5k DPS
Whereas with Sub I can pull 11k with my opener with a steady 6-7k
whats ur opener type it out
lol
i swithced sub to assassination i might be able to help a bit
my openeres are like 25k
SIN BFA GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <-- SIN GUIDE HERE
isnt it outlaw
Do you have SS?
nah
yea rogues shouldn't be doing orbs really but Outlaw would be best cause of grappling hook
you want garrote -> rupture -> garrote (for epedemic) -> Mut -> rupture -> vendetta -> exing
Depends on if he has SS or not, no?
Would need a mut after garrote if he lacks SS
oh well true
SIN BFA GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <-- SIN GUIDE HERE
i found out i wasn't using double garrotes in both my opener and in rotation. How much of a dps loss would that be?
Yeah lol just check the guide
i save all my azerite pieces so i had SS switching over
I checked the guide but I'm still terrible lol
If you have SS
Yeah dude
What's SS
Damn that huge?
I was still doing legion rotation :/
Shrouded Suffocation

I was still parsing legendaries and 90s on heroic without it. So i hope it goes higher ;D
Haha it will
Ah I see, I'm still a low iLvL rogue, does it mostly depend on Azeroth gear?
A strong SS opener and a Poison Bomb proc on top of it is just pure nectar ๐
I'm 332 atm
Do you have the trait on your gear or not?
Nah unfortunately not
Then your rotation is correct
@wary temple when you say double garrote in rotation you mean vanishing to do empowered ones right?
subterfuge
no like garrote > rupture > garrote opener, and vanish garrote garrote correct? I wasnt doing that
For CP and for your Exsang
ok I guess I'll just stick to Sub untill I get better gear for assassination since this is abysmal
No you're right I was just questioning what you wrote
Garrote -> Rupture -> Garrote -> Vendetta -> Rupture -> Exsang
well if your sub set has 3xBitS then yeah its gonna be much stronger til you get 3xSS for ass
When you described double garrote in rotation
yeah sorry that's what i meant
nvm a mut after vendetta too
Yea
You want a 5 cp rupture to exsang
nah I don't have any OP azeroth traits yet
๐ค
yeah i know it now, i just wasnt using it haha
Toxic blades for life (until exsang sims higher) kappa
You vanish when your exsang garrote runs out Sylaan
for exsang, should i hold it for 2nd vanish after opener? They dont line up i think
the 2nd time vendetta is up do u guys vanish -> garrote garrote rupture -> Vendetta -> exing? or do u vendetta before vanish?
even if vanish is on 30 cd?
or vise versa
Exsang is 45 secs so you'd have to hold it 30 seconds
Which is probably a bad idea
if its not within 10 sec
I exsang on cd
i normally won't delay
just refresh buffs use exsang and the next time around it should line up fairly close
How so
Ok I managed more DPS
should i refresh bleeds eventhough they're not on pandemic?
thanks lads
Well I guess it should
before exsang?
yes
I'm pulling 7K constant which is better than my sub opener
SIN BFA GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <-- SIN GUIDE HERE
unless its empowered
guide doesnt really mention exsang rotation..
Orc, if u had correct traits both operners should be close to or over 20k
is that a bot
It does
I don't have all of the BiS Azerite gear yet
just the opener i believe
get to farming my dude
I'm still gearing my rogue since it's my alt
Yeah that's a bot
iirc do you even run exsang without SS?
Continuous reminder to check out the guide
Shouldn't you be running TB
No.
Good bot
beeps
i was running 3xSS and until yesterday exsang finally started simming higher, prior tho it was TB that was simming higher
Yeagh
it jsut depends on sims
yeah even tho TB was simming better i still rand with exsange cause... Gameplay> TB
that 50 DPS totally matters
I like Exsang though, feelsgoodman to use
Yes I love twisting my blades to do more damage
TB just doesnt feel impactful LOL.. feels like a autoattack on CD
makes me feel like a true assassin
Toxic Blade makes me feel pressured to fit in envenoms and bank energy in a different way
3xSS opener with exsang just feels so filthy
Also in regards to FoK, is it worth spamming at any point?
Stealth into the PINS and ASSASSINATED that GUIDE ~ ~ ~ http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ ~ ~ ~
i think guide says 3+ mobs.. but i do it only 4+ mobs
yeah guess it's worth applying poision for energy regen
also fuck your guide I want to talk to humans because sometimes experience is better than what some cock wrote
thanks
to be fair, i know where you're coming from but the guide is literally everything i've said.
Doods.
looked at the guide and tried the rotation
Lol his just mad
except a much more experienced player wrote the guide lol
nailed it after someone explained it
Yeah obv some discussion is always warranted
No need to insult the person that went out of the way to write something
The game is more flexible than what a guide can cover but I haven't run into a situation where the guide doesn't have at least a decently useful answer
what i normaly do is read the guide try my best and ask questions that will fill in between the lines of the guide
like..
WHEN THE FUCK DO WE ARCANE TORRENT
PLEASEEEE
BE master race
You berserking* instead
lul
i hate that Arcane torrent is on GCD cause it makes it such a sacrifice to use, but the energy gain is sooo gooodd
Arcane Torrent when you need to purge something, or on CD at low energy
can someone point me to a sin build for M+ ? I'm aiming for best overall damage for the whole run
I only link the Guide when the answer it readily apparent in the guide, otherwise I will yell about Pins O _O"
I didn't even know arcane torrent gave energy wtf
_>
How is Sin doing so much damage in raid? Like top rogues are sin atm. I thought outlaw and sub are supposed to be higher.
don't explain urself @civic palm
"You do not want to overwrite a Nightstalker empowered Rupture or Garrote until it has expired."
Can someone explain this to me
we love you โค
"Fan of Knives, if there are 3 or more targets"
Does FoK always build same combo points? ie. 1 if it hits an enemy?
I WILL EXPLAIN MYSELF AND YOU WILL ENJOY IT
Since shuriken storm works very differently to FoK
FoK is 1CP + crits from Seal Fate.
LOL
1+ number of crits
You want the last tick on the empowered dots Phyzeek
@fossil jewel i think cause its bugged
If you overwrite it with a weaker version you'll obviously lose dps
you DO not garrote again til it runs out because the stealth garrote is strong
here read this
!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.
but im confused, because as far as i know, rupture doesnt get a dmage bonus from stealth
FoK doesn't work at all as Shuriken storm
its just garrote afaik
There's more RNG involved
Nah that bug has nothing to do with refreshing Garrotes, only on applying Garrote to more than 3 targets.
ah kk
You need to crit with FoK to gain more combo points
wait mizerok so i shouldnt be waiting til empowere garrote falls off completely?
You don't override an Empowered Garrote (from Nightstalker or Subterfuge) because they do less damage.
So if you crit 12 targets you'll overcap to fuck or you might not crit at all and get 1 CP
It's not like Shuriken Storm where you get it based on number of targets hit
Rupture gains bonus damage from Stealth if you are specced into Nightstalker.
yea switching from shuriken storm to FoK sucked.. but i got use to it pretty fast
Yeah it snapshots
ahhhh i c @civic palm
Doesn't work like EP
Wish there was a webhook to allow linking to spells = \
Man we need a big boss cleave fight where the bosses are stationary and easy to switch between
Sin would crush it so bad
And where they last longer than Arms and DH burst aoe phases
lazy simming tbqh
Those are not EX sims.
Damn look at those people using mp
or did you sim it all
I wonder if they have a lot of mastery
ussh
Wait what is this
Deeper Stratagem would feel like such garbage to play
3rd with Nightstalker
what is this
But the gap between it and the top 2 is probably massive
Everyone should know this layout O _O"
That APL probably does 6CP > Vanish > RUP > Garrote
inb4 another garrote nerf
more important things to worry about tbh
like uh
shadow priests
and boomkins being garbo
exactly
the specs are close enough to each other that we need to switch depending on encounter
like Zul favours Sub so much for raid QoL on Hexers
budget assassination rogues
Their issue is gameplay too
They're just energy starved all the time
from what I understand it's like playing when you forget your poisons ๐
"where the f is my energy"
"oh my poisons ran out"
Should I be looking at versatility much? I've been avoiding it for haste/crit/mastery
Played outlaw and sub too much
hahahha
Is vers your lowest stat weight?
Yeah I need to get your WA's
Yeah
HAHHAAHAH
Almost worse than forgetting to repair and remembering you forgot just as you pull so you rush to the auto hammer to try to fix it
Where do I get these WA's at

how does sin perform in mythic plus at the moment?
Very well.
Arguably the best, atleast one of the best speccs
Not having CCs for infested would suck
uuuuuuuuushhhhhh
Rip kings rest
lol
fuck them
but least we got blind
Shadowstep spamming bastards
Kings rest take so long to run
stupid WW's
Fuck that dungeon
Dude
We tried to mass root them+have our DH fucking bolt out the corridor to kite them
to dump stacks
Lmao
what weapon enchants for sin?
And they fucking stepped to him and caught him
With the roots still on
At least the bosses are a joke in KR
not that they aren't jokes everywhere else too

irontide ravager casts "painful meditation", kills his own allies lul
almost instant 34%
his bars tho
okay this is a question I doubt is answered in the guide
Oh yeah?!
If I'm going to Exsang, is it worth it to overcap CP to get a full CP Rupture?
if he got used to threatbars wut can we do lul
gets his fucking copy/pasta ready
do I need sound for this video btw
Nah just do the normal rotation.
@thick jacinth isn't it muted? @_@"
oh I just have my browser at work muted
i mean only music in the background
bc I go on fb
Since you will be refreshing Rupture during it's duration, refreshing it at 3-4CP will probably net more of its' pandemic'd duration.
well boys assa will be best spec tomorrow Kappa
haha
garrote garrote garrote things die
wtf did all that dmg
9:43 PM] Ongbak: irontide ravager casts "painful meditation", kills his own allies lul
๐
could be a dk pulling them all together with grip and someone aoe ccing but druids skill that pulls them all is really best for doing that
like ... really good, no one leaves until the add casts painful meditation
i honestly think assa might overtake sub

how do we deal with infested as smoothly as sub?
Go bonkers lul
Btw why'd you ask about sub here?
I mean infested is basically made for sub
actually haven't ran a freehold on anything other than m0
so I didn't know what painful motivation was
@strange python 'cuz i had hope for us to have some way to deal as smooth as them ๐ฆ
no, im horde and had the alliance tabard from back in cata where you could buy it. they hotfixed it so that you cant buy it as horde anymore. i did a race change to maghar and the tabard turned into the horde one
wrote a ticket and the gm doesnt want to give it back. he says i shouldnt have had it in first place
Gahuun, sin rogue better off running around dotting up eye stalks?
imo triple garrote the opener, make sure to get the debuff and then do what the raid comp. needs.
raid putting all melle on big dude, thought I might be able to help with stalks better though, was just curious
just put bleeding if they are next to the big guy and use fok if there are 3 targets to keep poisons up
Simulation data for everyone. Overview of DPS relevant simulation data for World of Warcraft.
Anyone else disappointed Hidden Blades doesn't look denser the more stacks you use it at
Imagine if it was this massive super dense explosion of knives at 20
Yeah but now instead of 30fps you have 4 from time to time.
Getting that vanilla experience right there
Hidden Blades so hard that you get D/Ced
does the azerite trait fan of blades stack 3x with the pvp talent flying daggers?
Probably
When Exsang comes off CD, do I refresh rupture immediately even if it's outside the Pandemic breakpoint or do I wait
you probably want to set it up a few secs earlier
When I sim with 3 SS and 2SS I dont get any upgrade should I get 3SS ?
Quick question, when vanish and vendetta come back up what should rotation be? (also have 3 SS azerite traits) . Should it be garrote ->garrote-> refresh rupture/ envenom? or some thing else?
I think a dumb question but need to ask - does it matter which dagger I use Deadly & Quick Navigation on?
just to double check crimson tempest is worth to cast on 2 targets right?
Which should get Deadly and which Quick? I'm seeing different advice over different guides
mainhand important ench
I'd say you should 
Most likely you'll want haste in your main hand
hows your sims lookin as assas
better than sub and outlaw post nerf
simmed myself with weapons in different order
It's a 10 dps difference
made like a 4-10 dps difference with identical daggers, could've just been variance between sims
fk raid azerite pieces tho, worst traits but still an upgrade
so it barely matters for sin
I'll probably go back to sin. My sub dmg is inconsistent (cause I'm bad)
and you fight for like 30 days total
git gud
ye
Its within the error range
that's exactly what i did lol
I have been but I'm a chronic panic masher
Play OL then lul
all 3 specs will be fine after nerf
if you fight for 30 straight days over the entire expansion then thats 432k dmg
its not like you wont do dmg in sub and ol
panic masher but is going to play the absolute lowest APM spec in the game ๐ค
eh nty. different stats to play with. I'm just more comfy with sin
know what the funny thing is, I will outburst you as assas vs sin
assas vs sin ๐ค
sin vs sin?
soz sin vs sub
๐ค
the great exs vs TB duel of our time
sin has a bigger burst for me
the best part about garrote is saying it with vigor
oh yea. I just worked out that I've been missing vanish ๐ณ
like GARR O TE!
gotta say it like karate
If you play sub and forget vanish it's subpar but still ok
forget vanish as sin and it's game over
quite odd that its vanish --> garrote -->garrote
my sim dps will take a hit but at least I'll be hitting it consistently
pack up and go home
i have never used vanish as sub for dps
its just not in my head lol
least not in uldir
Your sim dps will take a hit as sub soon though ๐
just swap to 3x sharpened blades
Whats your sim dps as sub Jaznah
13.5k ish
im at 14.3 as sin
What's your ilvl nemz
357
is the H G'Huun trinket any good for rogue?
Fuuuck nice
sims show it really low
I'm 348 and sim at 13.1K
3 x SS?
Anyone else dying for weap upgrades?
ye that will change when you get raid azerite
fk u ๐
346 and 12.1k because the trait system is a disaster
3+ dudes in my guild have gotten 370 weaps in my guild
I'm still running with a 330 dagger ๐
ye i have a 370 and 360 ๐
so does the azerite power weights addon shown on herodamage display similar to the NCL ones ?
jaznah one 330 or 330 highest?
Do you play sin on all bosses nemz
one 330
Playing vanilla rogue pre-DW at start
365 main weap
ah ffs
atm I do
Do some pvp
played sub before 2 days ago
Get a 345 at least
sadly I'm at work pretending to work rn
yeah arenas are funny at time
Haven't tried sin yet
got a belt that titanforged from 325 to 375
Noice
in arena
btw
When you hit that vanish re-opener on Crowd Pummeler in ML after you hit him with the balls
๐ฉ
ye think so
i just need 108 more
30K ST here I come
then im there baybe
I gotta start doing pvp
1600 isn't too hard to get tbh
I don't think I'll get much further than that though
Especially now that the mongo face-train BM+arms comps are gone lul
double ret paladin is toxic af
and all the good people have actually climbed
how do people usually try to sim m+ environment, even if not applicable in every situation?
literally instagibbed with wake and tv
first time i got bursted by a ret i was like waaaaaaaaaaaaah?
@sudden trench put your gear away stop showing off ๐
20k trinket 20k wake 10k tv in 2 globals
yeah dude it's busted
all of a sudden my energy feels real fucking slow
drink coffee
remember to stay hydrated
@north spruce go play in the Outlaw channel ๐

I prob going to try it tonight though

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.
is this accurate?
Yes
You can still Garrote x 3, vanish, Garrote x 3 more targets though
As long as they all are empoweered
If you get more adds
anyone have the conditions for this hot new exsanguinate rogue that i'm seeing
Conditions?
what do you mean conditions
is shrouded suffication still bugged?

Sort of
and still worth to stack this trait as herodamage says
and the opener its not on ravenholdt
huh
does it change with this SS
oh ill look again
Has several openers depending on if you have SS or not
and if you're runnig TB or ExSang
Is exsang preferable if you have 3/3 SS?
anyone have the engi head? how good is it for m+?
It has the bis aoe traits iirc
even for single target?
I'm using it now...I use the buff shrink/enlarge til I find a better helm. U need it if u wanna craft the mount tho. Lots of the mats in Motherlode require over the eng cap to find.
figured, guess just for m+
Synaptic Spark Capacitor is the bis for aoe
godo to know
We did it, team. Finally got my 3rd ss trait
Grats!
leeching poison sucks
Id still run cheat but my healer is a mach-een
Leeching's not what it was in legion. Still great for wqs
I didn't get an answer in pvp, so I thought I'd ask here real quick: For pvp trait, is 3/3 twist the knife optimal? Or is SS king for both pvp/pve?
I've really got no idea, haven't played sin in pvp yet.
Ive been using ss in pvp too. If you can spread garrotes it creates a ton of pressure
Even if not, ive solo'd healers without ven and with emp garr
Havent tried twist tho
Was just looking at Pikaboo, so thought maybe it was BiS, but from the looks of it, he's the only rogue in the top 20 haha.
Yeaaaa. Bm hunter and arms warr still kings ๐ฉ
He hard-stopped trying to climb 2s at 1800 and he was on a roll
I'm going to regret asking this becasue I'm pretty sure I've asked it before but... How do you go about simming different traits?
Gear compare or top gear
Top Gear
Just got chest off gahuun, don't know if I should take Twist or laser
or do you mean traits of gear you own or not
I want to compare 2 traits on a chest I just got
You'd need to find gear with the traits you're curious over and put them into the Gear Compare system
oh
I'm in gear compare and I don't see anything
Alright, thanks, I'll give it a shot
You select the traits inside the little "sub boxes" inside the individual item box
Ohhh, I see it now. Awesome, thanks

big tips for g'huun heroic pls
have the nerfs changed stat weights at all or is it still haste/vers?
rip 
?
honestly g'huun is pretty easy for rogue you literally smash your face and move out of orbs
Trash trinket is probably what he meant
@daring imp
1 expulsom
still worth more than sanguicell
lul
I've been absolutely shafted in terms of loot
whats best usage of exsang on aoe and st?
hello
is it worth it to do assa with only one trait of SS??
I got 2 chest pieces on my hunter, the archive of titans thingy and laser matrix
sooo is toxic blade the way to go or exsan

how do you tell if a garrote is empowered?
big dmg
are the honorbound azerite traids random from the warfront or always the same`?
traits
No azerite traits are random
thx
im about to try out assas
question about the guide... for my build it suggests: Garrote, Rupture, Garrote
do the garrotes stack?
Yea i did it
basically how we had to do it was create markers in a big circle around the area
tank on each marker til the adds spawn
then move as a group to the next marker while cleaving the adds
we went counter clockwise
frost mage is good to slow them as you move the boss to the next marker
ya we have a frost mage but he's not doing much with the adds to kill them
keep wiping around 35%
keep em slowed
goal is to have them dead by the time you reach the next marker
otherwise the dmg is too much
side question: How do I AOE as assassin? Just ruptures and garrote spread and hope for poison bombs?
do i even use FOK? lol
Fok spreads your deadly poison
I would assume you want to maintain 100% uptime so fok when they're falling off.
With multiple garottes and ruptures your energy regen will be insane. Allowing you to envenom and fok more.
aoe dmg is garrote.
3x ss. then vanish for 3 more. vendetta exang the prio. 20-25k trash over and over and over.
other than that g g g ct. fok fok rupture fok fok rupture ๐
Pretty sure you don't vanish for 3 more because of SS bug. I think the optimal play for now is to wait till garrote falls off before vanishing.
vendetta before or after vanish sync after opener?
@fresh ginkgo I feelie
What do you do when an arms warrior bladestorms you in pvp
is there legit no way to shut it down
cant you just feint or evasion
Would Nightstalker be better for single target with 3 SS traits?
What does ss stand for?
!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.
Yeah feint would help with a solid amount of the damage, evasion would stop bladestorm dmg though?
pretty sure evasion does, just dodge the spins 4head
why does my fan sometimes give 1 cp and sometimes 5 in aoe
Evasion dodges it yeah but I typically wouldn't waste evasion on that. Depends on scenario I guess.
@delicate gull That is so relatable but
Idk. I reckon its due to the passive crit combo point thing..
Whatever it called. Idk off the top of my head
You get 1 extra cp per crit
Seal Fate passive
So if you crit on multiple adds you get multiple cps
I kinda wish it worked just like sub's did, but maybe that would be OP
but like shouldnt i get 1 cp per hit normally
per enemy ^
Ex: 5 adds, fok with no crit -> 1cp, fok with 5 crits -> 5cp
Guys, I've been simming my stat weights and following it while gearing. My vers is 64 following this. Now i have been looking through alot of warcraftlogs from top rogues, and they all have 300ish vers? Could my simmed statweights be wrong or am i missing something?
