idk if such a small number is worth the timing
well i appreciate it guys, i wasn't aware of that bug either
Thanks @daring imp
really fucked with my m+ multi target damage
Exsang is more fun to play anyway
no worries ๐
tb is such a snoozer
When you hit dat exsang button and shit gets real ๐ฉ ๐
lol well yeah
was fun while it lasted
it's got such a nice cd time too
It's not just faster ticks.
@plain wraith personally i recommend afenar's, the combo points on his makes my eyes know how many i have without having to eyeball it
oh i guess that is the other thing about this guys parse
he is exsang and not toxic blade
i am toxic blade
Yeah. I drop and g g g vendetta r. GC exang.
solved that problem
duration of the fight?
but exsan is only for st right?
yeah, this is fetid i'm talking about
2.5m single target fight
2.5 minute*
i didn't get much time before raid to read up on talent choices and didn't think about it at all
Does lazer matrix traits outvalue shroud?
the only issue I saw with crimson tempest was it felt very cp hungry, but exsang does help with that too
more energy, more fans, more cps
is there an approx. ilvl value to SS?
for m+? 99999
lol
for raiding you'd have to sim tho
but m+, endless resets ... dayum no other trait is that good
unless your tank is a moron chain pulling the whole dg
I haven't been able to get the Gold Tassled Epaulets and I haven't had luck with emissaries
340 ss shoulders outsim 370 raid shoulders for me lol
was using 325 SS for a long time
But my other SS piece is a 385 chest from cache
Nice
Gravethorn is better than Gold Tassled though right?
I just went from 300 SS hat. To 350.
So it's probably stewed
All azerite gear i come across dosen't outsim my 340
f*&$ you @calm grail lucky bastard
And sim for 3t is low.
Gravethorn has SS+OP
SS and overwhelming is probably best, but it's relative
Just hammer away.
Isn't OP actually not that good?
overwheling gets value capped with high haste
i've got a few 325 SS pieces and like 340/355 double dose/sharpened blades
Like doesn't it sim well but not actually do that good
didn't know how much agi is worth missing out on 2/3 SS
Gonk and Shadraspawn has OP too
tfw you don't have high haste :c
hmm
I have triple heed and 2 SS seems to do good. Also archive of the Titans.
I noticed archive went from 75 haste to 150 after I kill a couple bosses Last Night
Why the hell does Blood Mallet run their Gold-Tasseled with Unstable Flames
Heed is great
So I wonder if the Uldir passive is 75 haste every week added
After you kill three bosses
3x SS and exsang for m+?
ideally
Yeah, go blast dude lol
Gore splattered vest with 385 heed hits for like 4k
so whats the proper usage?
try to not fall off the chair with the high dmg on m+
does vendetta increase the damage of bleeds already on the target?
3x garrote rupture then exsang?
Garrote three things and fan a lot lol
@vestal abyss yea, adaptive dmg
They seriously need to buff the other traits to make them compete since you canโt farm M+ to stack traits
Yeah
They need to make azerite available
And the weekly box is the most random shit ever
We'll be stuck running 340 gear
shit's dumb
in a few months we'll see guys doing +30 keys ... with 340 3x SS's ... lul
I've been considering running Mythic 0 for warforged SS gear
for single target.... garrote>rupture>garrote>exsang>vend?
m+ people who don't want to raid will be running 385+ gear with 340 azerite pieces
No Danny
gar > rup > gar > mut > rup > vand > exsanq iirc
On beta is was 1 normal 1 azerite with chance for another random. It felt good, and the shitters reverted
GRGVendMutRExsang
so vendetta first to increase bleeds already on targ?
it's dynamic
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers

thanks @daring imp
It's to boost the GRG already on the target and to boost your Mut
Then you tack on the Rupture for the Pandemic
Then you Exsang for a huge pandemic garrote rupture
burst out the ass
He means it will add
yea
yea for sure
I sim higher /w exsang than TB but cannot reproduce that on dummy so I think i'm using exsang badly
I don't need to save exsang for anything right ?
dont wanna reapply rupture later during vend spam with ellaborate planning
I am having issues with assassination... I am not sure why.
@lone junco with gc boon use on cd and pair up with vendetta/vanishs every other for tb use?
Just refresh my dots and use it ?
You kind of have to play and get a feel for timings with it
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation

2 hours till mythic raid 
bis avatar
Ok
well good luck then
so SS garrote needs to run full duration?
@vestal wren thanks
yea
i'm talking til the bleed falls off for the last tick even?
And regarding the 2nd use on vedetta I should save a Vanish and exsang to get the maximum out of it ?
yea
Let it die
You want the last tick
damn
it's that big
brutal
it's bonkers... hoping they even out the damage honestly
i sim like 13k and i cant do more than 9k even if i keep rupture up at all time
let it tick that last sweet tick
single target on boss mythic+
rupture isn't even the biggest part of our damage
that's weird
Garrote
You should do more than 13K on a mythic boss ๐
i was doing +9
Since it's so short
and i barely hit 9k
i only do 9k on dummy sustained (3-4mins) but in raids ST i go up to 12k+
What boss was it
keep in mind WW 5% dmg buff and warrior 10% AP buff
mother comes to mind
im in the last group to cross
oh yeah
@inner leaf you have 3x SS? are you overwritting the empowered garrotes on packs? opening by using garrote tab garrote tab garrote?
On Mother you should be doing loads if you're last
that was with only 1 SS as well
o nvm you talking about st
How many SS traits do you have Sith
3
my exsang is simming less for me
Wrong opener
Shrouded Suffocation

isn't it garrote -> rupture -> garrote
Yeah
@inner leaf ST should be G R G
oh ok
alright sounds good
the rotation for sin now feels weird
Easy 25K ST burst
the reason is it adds like 6 seconds of SS garrote to the target @inner leaf
like not relying on envenom/muti dmg
i am 350 ilvl and my offhand is 325 is that a big problem?
What's your main hand
main hand 355
That's fine
Not really
@inner leaf i have 320 weaps and i'm still pulling 11k in raid, it's not an issue
No. Offhand is nothing. In ggg cleave.
I donโt see how sin can be the best m+ spec now unless the bug gets fixed and you have 3 ss
Main hand dps is way more important
okok gotcha
It's more annoying than anything
In cleave. Mh dps is like 20pts. Offhand like 0.9
mobility with assasin vs outlaw feels terrible
why? ๐ฆ
i just hate outlaw as a spec.
just gotta use them wisely
I love outlaw, sin m+ just feels so tedious
Tbh I miss the second Shadowstep though
Outlaw is super fun, but at the same time frustrating with bad luck
just play snek then
^ lul
Snek is top dps.
I mean, rtb snek is best dps now
27k range logs.
i know, that's what's funny
oh it is? might consider playing outlaw then ^^
Tfw

lol
makes me wanna ๐ก
b-b-but the agi from 1 buff
@daring imp in the doc you sent it says exsang around the 2:20 mark, what is meant ? 2:20 in fight timer ?
yea
I sleep
REAL SHIT
But there will be other exsang in the meanwhile right ? Is is presumed it is used on CD
exs is 45s cd
Still unsure whether to hold Exsang for Vanish and Vendetta
well it's not like you have the chance to decide
i just swaped to assa, should i use toxic blade or exanguinate
45s cd means on 4th use it will be ~2:15min assuming not delaying much
just try not to delay it much and it will sync up nicely
oh, that with or w/o SS?
And "Clip elaborate planning" ? Cast finishers when the buff is just about to expire right ?
ye
@hot flume specially during empowered garrotes i always try to do that, even casting 3cp envenoms/ruptures, not sure if that's optimal tho
is that stuff saying crit > Haste for single target dps still accurate?
they simmed equal for me
@still carbon that's just a general rough value of how your weighted stats will be, can be different depending on talents, but mine are just like that
@daring imp hum ok I think that's something I wasn't paying attention to
wait
haste is meaty though
Haste is huge for me at least
haste > agi > crit >~ mastery > vers
In st?
dayum how much haste you got
why does herodamage have fathom deck so low rated ?
check the equivalent ilvl, danny
@nova nest pay attention to the ilvl
I've got shit itemization despite getting the haste+crit daggers from TD in both hands
Got my 3rd SS pog
14.2% haste
don't look only at the biggest bar, check bars that match the ilvl of your stuff
I still can't believe I played a week thinking I only had 2 ss traits while I had the 3rd in the bank.. I swear I checked twice
lul
@hot flume it says 355 but is near dead last
i wasn't even using them and had 3x on bag, when i saw some fucker do 17k on a +0 i just couldn't even
What %haste is lust?
Yeah but you need 380 or 400 ilvl for other trinkets to be better
I open over 30k without lust
whats considered a GOOD amount of haste to have?
as much as humanly possible
@strange python whats the best?
right
They gcd is so fucking fast.
355 Fathoms beats 355 Harlan's
Bing bing bing.
also the conquest reward for this week is not the SS chest
debating buying a fathoms
oy @lone junco you just pop gc boon on cd and every other with vendetta/vanish?
I got that one haste trinket from uldir
You should
its the non-SS chest
that one that stacks the haste buff
If you don't have decent trinkets
but think itl be replaced once i go heroic
with the dice
@still carbon The one off taloc?
How is it?
i have a 355 frenetic corpsule with a 40 haste gem and a 340 dice
I lost the roll for it
Landoi's Scrutiny?
I got an SS chest from conquest
i simmed the haste trink @still carbon and it simmed less dps
and gave it to another dps despite being top dps by a mile :/
for me
exang or toxic blade for arena?
355
I'm gonna be honest
i dont entirely trust simming
it's weird, it rarely seems accurate
๐ค
The conquest chest has ss on it?
wait wut
Imma have to do that later
It isn't accurate if you make several misstates in your timings
exang or toxic blade for arena?
it doesnt have SS
i like exang for arena none expects the dmg
oh nvm then
the chest has the fan of knives trait
ewwww
GC before exang. It is 1min. So I'll probably macro them together.
There are 2 rewards
But yeah.
oh did you guys know if you JUMP while doing FOK it actually increases its range??
One is SS
Sim says it falls apart at 220. But my small brain can't desync them well.

HAHAAHA You're right Ongbak
355 SS helm from world boss 
I just ran to the dummy and tried it
ss?
blizz coding ๐ข
Shrouded Suffocation
lul
We're all National Socialists in here
tbh it makes sense
the FoK range
If you jump the knives obviously travel further
Conquest chest gives a choice of 2
It only shows 1 in the pvp tab though, like last week
good to know wow uses such physics
proceeds to get stuck into a rock smaller than the feet of my character
3x SS or go down to 2 with Laser Matrix and 30ilvl upg?
where's some info about multi-target DPS? can't find on ravenholdt
!stats
dot everything

watch health bars melt
@daring imp does this also work with ct?
@toxic drift if you
be warned that simc doesn't apply the reorigination array buff
good shit blizz
new AoE rotation: before you FoK or CT, jump 
yeah pretty much either uldir trait with reorigination array is gonna be bis
im at 19.2% haste just baselane
150 extra haste is spicy
Who here has stat stacked specifically for AoE and has like no haste
Wtf why is the ramge more hahaha
Anyone know what the optimal usage for Galecallers boon is?
@tacit plinth crit mastery.
Seli.
like completely ditched haste and went with the aoe weights, I want to know how terrible it feels on bosses
@weary hare must be prior to exang due to snapshot haste.
So you delay exang 2 until. 1min for GC.
I really need to sort out my stats, getting all this high ilvl mastery gear so I have over 1k now
And what if I run TB? Same situation?
wait, you can haste snapshot your bleeds?
no
Only exsang
You get partial ticks
haste gains/losses during exsang'ed stuff also go up/down on tick rate?
Don't think so
ohhhh
Yes. Exang snapshots haste and calculates full ticks. No partials.
So exang after lust GC.
If they lust at T=10. Scream
LUL

wondering why poison bomb logs higher in add heavy fights than crimson tempest. like zekvoz or zul in hc. is it cuz adds die too quickly?
probably
went with a frost dk today
So I should Macro Galecaller's boon before exsang use ?
ye then he do 8k for 2 mins til breath is back up ๐
They really ruined poison bomb lol it used to hit so hard
Now it feels like a begrudgingly taken talent to effectively not lose a talent tier on ST
he finished on 2nd overall, it was a bit chaotic at the end tho @silver egret https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/76mGvMDyAaJwThBP#fight=last&type=damage-done
I think you need more holy priests
@tacit plinth they could've fixed it by lowering the damage and giving us the ability to control when to pop it, but they had to dumpster it ...
hey blame omar, he's the one that invited all those, he "claimed" only priests queued lul
oh its a pug ๐
yea
Ya I looked at the overall damage of pb in a 5 man and it was insanely sad
You run with omr?
is it worth taking third garrote trait even if its -30 ilvls from 370 to 340
He's doing well.
sim it
@strange python for m+. Yes. St sim.
got aotc with him this thursday, like, 30min before reset
k thanks
fuck zul trash mob, bye
his pugs are glorious
rip you
didnt see in the pin, about the exsanguinate build
!chest
Weekly chest position:
Alliance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKPlCI652Wo
Horde - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLjg2XCTe7U
do you keep garrot up or what
It is fucking beautiful.
Correct.
That's m+ with GC.
The vendetta exang depends ok baddy.
Gggct. Is plenty for normal trash.
I'll help write guide section next week.
Ggg vanish ggg 
thats the big brain burst
Ggg Ct. GC. vanish ggg vendetta mut mut rupture exang. FOK FOK rupture. Each elite.
in 8.1 they're going to release the jade harvester build for rogues
AoE Exsang
all bleeds in 10 yards 
Rather have st.
when you exsang do you refresh the dots once they reach pandemic or let them bleed out entirely
?
Imagine if exsang affected all targets bleeds 
its 20ilvl better, only reason I am asking
that'd be a nerf
not if you could spend all the energy fast enough lol
no i mean it surely would get a nerf lul
oh right ya lol
You let them run the full duration or you lose dps when you have xaang bleeds going
@winter gale can you screenshot it?
Is assa better than outlaw after the nerf?
@chilly kiln bleed out entirely to last tick.
Clipping off exang rupture isn't the end of the world because we aren't using ns. But never clip off your SS garrote with another non SS garrote.
Even then you should let it finish. Because of GC trinket
Else you convert a 0.5s tick empower into a 1.5sec tick and completely jump a tick.
That's equivalent to just erasing a 5cp env. 12-25k. Deleted.
Can check a log to confirm. Cause I vansish gg at pandemic a few times last night.
generally fast answer is that 3x SS is always better than 2xSS, i will sim later ofc but now need fast answer ๐
oy remember to do your 4x M+ dungeon quests
when i get home i'll do the last one to get those phat vers items
oh, can azerite gear come off the chest?
i got the haste trinket from my mythic weekly quest. feelsbad
Hello everyone, are the guides on icy/ravenholdt updated for assassin spec ?
Afternoon guys, this has probably been answered a few times but just want to confirm, on single target bosses. Is the opener, g-r-g and if so why do you re cast garrote when you have one up
370 laser matrix sims only 50 dps higher than 340 SS FeelsRogueMan
@snow spindle My question too.
0.4% better if playing exsanguinate but I preffer toxic blade...Should I change for that percentage or is it like nonworthy
?*
exsang is less forgiving, so if you think you'll fuck it up I'd stay with TB
you reapply garrote cuz you want the pandemic for the empowered one
Is Exsanguinate better than Toxic Blade with 1 SS?
sim urself

Even tho it will be like a 2 second less garrote
im quite confused how reapplying garrote helps with the pandemic
what do you mean a 2 second less garrote

Like people saying in the opener cast garrote then rupture then garrote again
Why not skip the first garrote?
@snow spindle it pushes the SS garrote to 23sec from 18.
Hi ! Sorry to bother you guys, but i got a question. With the 5% nerf for Outlaw, is Assassination the best spec atm or is Outlaw still worth playing ?
@lone junco oh I see that makes sense, thanks
G. 18
R 2cp
G 23sec push.
Vendetta mut
Rupture 4-5cp
@cosmic shale Most top rogues go sass now
When you reaply a dot that is already on the target, some of the duration from the previous dot (up to 30% of the total duration) is added to the new dot. This mechanic is called pandemic. You apply the first garrote, and it's a 18 second garrote, so you reapply it ang get a 24 second duration one.
And that's the main opener
That's where the GC exang goes. And rips those full bleeds.
@vestal abyss You mean Assassination, right ?
Is there any definite rotation to see on some site or anywhere
whats the reasoning behind the 2cp Rupture? Rupture damage isnt from stealth right? Is it just to increase rupture length?
Yes
I feel like I am doing something wrong. I need rotation with 1SS and toxic blade talent
Iโm really hopeful blizz will come there senses soon and either give 2 peice of gear from weekly cache one azerite one normal or make azerite drop in mythic plus soon. Cause this is dumb, or option 3 do some major tuning of the traits
G g r. Vendetta mut mut rupture exang. Is the other option.
Grg sims better. Per weak.
Well on the exsang build, you want to pop exsang with both garrote AND rupture pandemic. So you apply a smaller rupture first, then apply a 5 cp rupture to get the full duration + pandemic for your exsang
@lone junco do you vanish after the opener's exsanguinated garrote fades to apply two garrotes? will it be up for that 2:20 ish burst window?
There are no azerite drops in m+???
@rain breach correct
No, only weekly cache
Run your sim. Check HTML. Read the sample action list.
Is my rotation ok : Garrote/Rupture/Garrote/Vendetta/Toxic Blade/Envenom/Muti+Muti/Envenom/Muti+Muti/Envenom/Vanish/GarroteX2/Rupture/continue with rotation
But yes. Wonk at 0:45 to 1:10. Then full alignment at 2:15.
ty
What gems should we be taking
anyone has rupture & garrote wa?
Can anyone pls advise me ๐

Noobe thanks for the help, nice to have someone like you in the community ity
@prisma monolith thanks
PayPal link in my profile.
Are guides for assa up to date on pinned ?
Can someone give me a quick answer here? I'm trying to customize my UI a bit more and I want to know what skill in my SCT that is critting here? I'm assassination and I can't find a skill or talent with that icon. Also, does anyone know how to get rid of the health, energy and combo bars under my character?
oh wait @dawn merlin thanks lol, didnt see its a bot
I Was waiting for mythic balance
Personal resource bar under char. And that's deadly poison hit
check your combat log
and match the damage tick you see with the same number in the combat log
why do we garotte twice after vanish? instead of waiting a little bit and reupping the opener from vanish - g r g again?
your second vanish into the fight would go as the opener gar raptu gar ?
@pure sparrow so you can exgang max dur rupture + garrote sooner
Because subt garrote does 80% more dmg
@lone junco @kind roost Oh I see. The tick and the hit are counted seperately. Thanks guys
And you want max duration
i vanish as soon as the first exang double garrote is going down
so i can get another off
huh
anyone can help one the question above plz?
makes sense. exang is weird
then usually vanish later in the fight when vendetta is up or we lust and need burst
etc
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/atvVy4GLC16zxrDw/#fight=8&type=damage-done
Anyone wanna take a peak? See anything horrible that I need to change or fix?
Garrote
Rupture
Garrote
Vendetta
Toxic Blade
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote twice
@kind roost on the second vanish we do it like opener?
does SS stack?
yes yoshi
The damage does, not the combo point generation
ok, thanks
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
I'm assuming the SS bug still hasn't been fixed?
why not garrote, garrote, rupture? for a full rupture?
if it's on the pins don't think so
What's the bug with it?
cause u would get more garrote uptime refreshing it at the end of subterfuge
Casting 3 garrotes in stealth then 1 out of stealth removes the SS buff on your first 3 garrotes
and garrote damage is big
@fervent fox so you can get pandemic empowered garotte and rupture with exang
The ravenholdt assass guide ends the opener (With SS) by saying "Vanish+Garotte" and then "Garotte Twice". So does this mean 3 garottes in a row after vanish, or just vanish+garotte and then garotte again for a total of 2?
and if you're not running exsang?
Vanish gg.
Any alliance Na players here? What is our emissary weapon ?
Itโs just another opener
thanks noobe
only need two for the full pandemic
Opener and midblock vanish exang are not the same.
And only for exsang
damn, i love pug-tanks...
me: hey, can you let me restealth pls?
tank: dont really care about your epenis
Cause open we split the exang and vanish by 10sec
Guys when do you pop troll racial 1st and 2nd time during fights? i guess u use it with vendetta but second time u wait 1 min for vendetta?
just leave the group and say fu @crimson swift
But what does decide wether to go exsang or not? I've simmed both specs and TB is currently abit ahead, but is it because of current stats, or azerite traits or nah?
both probably
GC trinket makes the diff imo. But sim.
once i got around 950 ilvl my sims started showing exang better. I think its a secondary stat thing
This is rotation on the pinned guid for 1 or more SS with Toxic Blade : Garrote
Rupture
Garrote
Vendetta
Toxic Blade
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote twice
yeh youre probably right. i dont have GC so that makes sense that TB is ahead
@lone junco I have gc but I prob am not using it correctly. Do u pop if right before exsang or duringnopener garrotes
When I try it there is no rupture for like 10 sec uptime
zasz check the assass rogue logs on mythic kills. they will show you when to use it best
I dont know is there any definite rotation for assa at this moment
was just an m0 and we were pretty much near the end, so i just followed them and did my 7k dmg each pull :/
@restive path it needs to be up for exang. Can be the very last sec. or tagged with exang. It snapshots haste at the time.
Guys when do i pop troll racial during sin opener? with vendetta? and when do i pop it after cd reset?
@vestal wren is there a haste pot I can overlap with GC /exsang?
Like 10sec of 1k haste Mmm
Maybe something like old war.
Theres that bursting pot thats like new old war. Havent tested it once. Just been using agi pots
Whats the problem w pb..?
I do not understand why we use twice garrote in stealth. Just to refresh the timer?
Does the shrouded Suffocation bonus dmg to garrote only applies when i do it out of stealth, or is it in general?
In general
@molten cosmos it allows us to have a longer shrouded suffocation empowered garotte because of pandemic
If you fuck up your opener or vanish, ss trait is the worst possible trait to have. It does nothing unless used w a stealth garrote
o really
Yarly
dayum
its in the description lol
So when u exsang u donโt reapply the bleeds right
!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.
U left them run out ?
yeah but sometimes the wording is difficult
don't "let them run out"
The hell
let them tick to the last second
X)
never have a loss in uptime, but you also never want to reapply early
Like before the tick that makes it disappears right?
Ideally you want to reapply a non ss emp garr at 0.001 sec on your emp ss exaang garr
Like as close to 0 without going under
Ok
And i got another question, i didnt find an answer in the guide.
When do I pick toxic blades/exsang? is it on a stat breakpoint?
But realistically, its easier to just let it fall completely and reapply asap
Sim it
okay will do
Exsang only became better for me this past monday
!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.
Does pandemic still exist
When you have fewer ss traits and less haste
yes @ pills
I feel like gearing for multi is such a trap
Hum
I currently have 1 SS and 2 Sharpened Blades
Bloodmallet updated the stats
imagine having 3% haste on a tyran boss fight
anyone has a good WA for it
Feels weird not using exsang on cd
When do you use exsang?
Depends on the week for m+. This week you dont want an aoe heavy build because of tyrannical
when vanish comes off and vandetta?
do you really hold your second exsang for vanish/vendetta?
why not just let the vanish sit for 15 seconds
most bosses aren't goingto last 4 minutes
Im sad 340 SS chest beats 385 dubble dose :/
sorry talking about m+ here
because you're trying to maximize how many vanishes you get in the fight
yes got all 3 SS traits finally weekly was scrap item tho :/
if you're ONLY ever going to get 2 in, just exsang early
i got 385 SS chest from the cache
Do i use exsanguinate in raid with 3 SS ?
vanish is more important for damage with SS than exsang
3rd SS sims lower than 355 chest with daggers in back
Any alliance Na players here? Looking to find out what the emissary weapon is for us
im talking about vanishes
oh sorry
mastery just overtook crit on stats o.O
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8zyFRrhahEec28v9YozpA1
you want to maximize the amount of vanishes you get off
i mean you basically vanish in the opener after exsang right
however, if the boss will only ever last long enough to get 2 vanishes off, you can exsang it
so at 2:10 of the fight when vanish comes back up you should have ~10-14 seconds before exsang is bac up
pure feely craft here
If you do a 3rd prior. Yes.
whats vuln
i feel like its better to hold the vanish
If you delay 3rd it aligns earlier.
Is there different stat prio depending on if you use exsang versus Toxic blades?
Sim
I sim like 700000 times a day
I will be doing 1min intervals with GC. Not exang oncd
hoped someone just had a quick answer
does uldir gear have our bis trait ss on it
Assuming the sim is right. ๐ค
or does more shit for ass come from mythics
We cant answer you since the better talent is based on your gear traits
WHY ALL TANKS KEEP MOVING THE BOSS WHEN I POP GC BOON
trying to figure all this out with the new way they decide d to fuck m+ weekly cache
pay 3 buck for raid bots for front of the que sims @glad ferry then theres your quick answer
basically if your bis traits dont drop in raid now your fucked
because they hate rogues
@glad ferry prob just heavy haste. But the GC trinket and 3ss will make it pop.
Afaik, you should use your 2nd exsang asap and because of the delay in your first vanish, the cd of vanish and your 3rd exsang is about 5 seconds. I felt like it was worth waiting to line em all up. Keep in mind you can vend a bit early for your 2nd vend as you'll still fit a whole exsang bleeds in the vendetta window on the 2nd round
Only clothies hate rogues. Devs were kind this tier.
@glad ferry very low difference
Only played it for one night, tho. Still working out the kinks
I mean that 2 minute burst window is huge and if you're not goign to get another cast in holding is fine
The apl has a scenario. But boss timing matters WAYWAYWay more than patchwerk.
devs are always kind to us lbr lol
If you do lose a cast of vendeta or vanish by holding to sync then you lose a lo tof dps
so what's going on now using something besides toxic blade?\
You MUST hit the vuln windows with vanish.
So fully pandemic rupture and garrote and then exsang
but thats going to have to be a decision made on the pull
guys i got 3 SS traits and gallecaller 355. When should i pop the trinket?
when i use vendetta?
should I always 5cp refresh rup and garrote before using exang in the middle of a fight?
Yes. Full pandemic'd rup w exsang feels like a mini adrenaline rush and feels so gooooood
you should attempt to pandemic empowered garotte rupture before exsang
He's talking the ones where you dont have vanish, i think
yup
then yeah, pandemic rupture
@torn hinge vai jogar league :v
lool
So im shwoing fathums comeing up on the short end of trinkets now is it still above most 355's?
we did it bois i got another shitty ss trait!! we are 2/3 man so trash
I've just simmed a 340 shoulder vs. a 370 azerite shoulder. 340 has SS and Heed My Call and 370 has Blood Rite and Gutripper. The sims pretty much put them equal, sometimes giving a slight edge to one or the other depending on how I run it. I didn't think that the traits would have such a huge impact against ilvl, but the sims say otherwise. Does this sound right or is there a chance I've somehow screwed up the sim?
I have challenger but weekly conquest is showing 355 chest, is it just showing wrong or is the reward fucked?
Does the trait "Laser Matrix" work outside of Uldir? (Just got a headpiece from my 4 mythic dungeon weekly and it sims higher)
yeah
Infested mobs have like 10k hp. Sin or sub is fine for pushing 10keys
Ah ok
@pine grove SS is very powerfull atm for assassin depending how many you have stacked could be the main cause of the jump for one or the other i would say if there siming equal go with the higher IL since it provides more stam and agi which would increase your survivability in raid even if it is a minor boost
@main blaze that yes was at my question? ๐
is exsang only stronger than tb with 3 ss traits?
Yes
Ty ๐
Sub's better if your group has huge balls and pulls the infected mob w the rest of the trash pull just because of how shrukin storm and evis work for prio targets
I recommend not doing that
so, the only piece of uldir gear that has shrouded suffocation is the jerkin from fetid huh?
@summer timber Cheers. I'm currently running three, so swapping to Blood Rite would drop me down to two. That's also a good point, I never thought about the extra survivability. SS also drops off if your group happens to chain pull and not listen to me when I say I need to go back into stealth to do the sick DPS.
so if we want to stack 3, we need 2 pieces from mythic cache
now that is fucking shitty
azerite pieces not dropping from M+ runs is so ?????????
Is sin best now after the decreased dmg on the rest?
Outside of cache loot, our "bis" with ss is a 355 helm from wb, the raid chest, and 340 shoulders
Its a great design
that is fucking bad
Outside of cache loot, gawwww
Hi guys ๐
what is on that pvp chest btw?
SS
Conq is SS
May i ask something ?
No it doesnt
It has bits
Yes it is
Ohhh. Nice
It has as lol
The second option is ss u monkey
All the rogue specs are good
oh that's great news it'll pair well with my 370 SS helm :^)
Assass is easier than everything
I have Crit/mastery gear, i know assa is doing good but should i go sub ?
yeah but in perf goal
I'd say outlaw is the easiest by far
rogues love over reacting to tiny nerfs
for my guildmates
Again, all rogue specs are viable and good
that would be nice
assass is a joke compared to sub tbh
i know they are all good, i just have a mastery/crit gear
Sim them then
should i go sub rather than assa ?
sim yourself, nobody knows but the computer
i dont know , its your life
ok
do w/e u want
does unstable flames stack?
thx
tbh both ar preforming well Sub excels more at cleave so TBH who care which you go with just have fun doing it
all the rogues in my guild have been freaking the fuck out if they should switch around or not
Play all 3 and don't be dumb.
^
my outlaw set up dropped 1.5k dps after DS nerf
๐
its tough when i press 2 things on my arms war and beat my whole guild
Balance is ongoing and forever.
but i really do want to switch
all these FotM sin rogues
i nee one more ๐ to do that
pls no
just switch depending of your actual gear/stats/traits if you want to do the most out of your toon
Don't miss out on 3ss. But sub boss dmg is real.
Sin is over taking sub
i play whatever is best, always. none of the rogue specs are hard enough that switching specs will ruin you lol
but they're all in a good spot imo
and then im also worried ill swap over and then SS will get gutted when they look at the refresh bug
like week 1 pre 5% nerf sub was 90% of the top 10 parses
now this week its mainly sin lol
sin sims 2k higher than my outlaw
ya going by what gear you have and playing all three is the best way to go
why
sin feels worse in PVP to me
^ a FotM scum in the wild
@royal lantern looool
sin is good in pvp still
bruh relax I was swapped before the nerfs
i dont think they will pve nerf SS
because I think sin is way more fun in m+
they probably wont
I will say though going from shuriken storm to fok feels horrible
does unstable flames trait stack?
Alrighty bois! Whats your opinion without saying "Go sim, go fakking sim!"
I got 385 chest with Double Dose and already had 370 chest with SS. Is the 15 ilvl gain worth losing my SS?
It's probably not going to be nerfed if its not this week
since with SS there on par with most of the other traits for other classes if anything they may buff other traits to make them more apealing
@fading socket if you want an accurate answer you should sim it
@fading socket LOL bruhh sim that shit
why would any of us know
i said your opinion, not your answer ๐
omegalul!
OMEGALUL
My opinion is the 370 is probably better

FeelyCraft
just sim it 4Head
my problem with my rogue right now is im sub speccd with no Bits and no SS
Niralath got Brain! โค
so idk wtf to do
I'd GUESS the SS piece would edge out slightly, but only the sims know for sure.
cause it all feelsbad
Hoz no brain
so you're not a rogue then
I could be wrong though, so don't let me mis lead You
stay sub then
@paper bough feelsbadman go play druid?
i have all shuriken toss
i dont want to play shit druid
๐คฆ
run full leather m0 try to get freehold shoulder and helm from shrine
sin is more fun sub is 
All I know is my 340 shrouded Suffocation shoulders were better than my 370 shoulders with Archive of the Titans
and try to get raid chest from fetid
the helm shrine is so elusive for me
= 3ss
I play sin and outlaw cause theyโre great mindless specs. Too lazy to play sub Lel
feels bad
sub doesn't require thought
is my symbols up? do I have 2 dances?
ok do the same 5 globals in dance and win
gg
are the ravenholdt talent guides up to date?
at least with sim you have to manage 2 dots instead of 1 
lets be honest arcane mage is the big brain dps spec
Sin doesnโt. Refresh dots. Hit cds. Win.
Hey lads, I asked this in the wrong chat just now
weak aura makes it impossible to have them fall off
itโs not hard to dot track
idk why people always say sin is braindead lol
but the 370 trinket from taloc sims lower than the 355 kul tiran cannon. Does this seem correct?
its not like outlaw or sub are harder too play
Man, discussions about class difficulty are totally useful and result in thoughtful discussion.
damn
trink
or more like: there is no class in this game with really hard gameplay, the fights are hard part, class gameplay is easy
What class is "hard" to play nowadays??? Get that conversation outta here
i have it cuz nothing better
what talents are you playing with if u play exang
Even if outlaw or sub aren't harder to play, that doesn't mean that sin isn't braindead lol
its just elitist who want to justify their epeen
@fringe zodiac same as normal just xang instead of TB
I'm panicing.
and say their class is better because its more difficult
Honestly with the right weak auras, every class is easy lol
Blizzard had one job, but now a trinket thats 15 item levels higher, is worse than an already mediocre trinket
you wanna know the real braindead spec right now
WW
swift roundhouse ruined the spec
every class is 4 button mashing with some cooldown management...except maybe bm hunter
if all these classe are so easy to play, why ist there such a huge difference between top logs and bad logs? ๐ค
Because playing a class passingly and playing a class well is a thing
y canโt they let u reforge an azerite piece, keep the ilvl but replace it w the traits of a lower piece
@crimson swift bc when i parse lower than a diff class i need to make an excuse
Itโs an opinion. Iโve played sin so long that itโs just second nature. And same with outlaw. I just canโt play sub.
stupid af system
@past harbor yeah sounds about right
so since we can get 340-350 piece from warfront every time we do it
370
for the monthly
thats the cache
yea im just saying if i did that already
also, one last question: does it matter ifyour main hand weapon is lower itemlevel than your offhand?
can just chain them for 240-250
@crimson swift parsing 90% in any class is something laudable imo, requires some luck at times as well, but i still can't get over BM hutners wtih 80% auto attack damage from pets
340-350*
