But then it doesn't feel like guitar hero
if you have GC do you use it on cd or wait for exsang or?
anyone using sovv's gruop?
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
Using that now but cant figure out if my garrote is empowered or not
thanks anyways <#
oh I thought you meant pandemic
I dunno if any of them track SS buff, but I'd be surprised if they didn't
just poke around wago someone probably has one
Mizerok's puts a little 'Emp' under the empowered Garrote
Anyone here on 20% haste +?
@civic cedar 😃
i wish i'm at around 15% haste right now -_-
im at 18 and stat weight is still haste > crit
dang
@civic palm you sure exsang snapshots? So I should use it inside galecallers?
does anyone use afenars ?
I’m 19.8 or something haste. Why asking?
tnx @dire gazelle
anyone here i mean *
just swapped from outlaw, and for some reason i though they'd want more haste than mut
but seems not

I use this one https://wago.io/S15WcyNQX
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/sargeras/Cóóby simmed last night and still haste>agi>crit=mast>vers
I'm sure those have timers too
but this one has numbers that turn green in pandemic

I basically took the timers from Miz and disabled/deleted most everything else. I just wanted timers.
Miz has green numbers as well 😃
should you even be refreshing garrote on pandemic if it has the ss buff?
If your garrote is empowered let it drop then reapply
I think the reason sin Sims so low for me is my 12% haste lol
cuz you're double applying on vanish
@keen spruce So wit those, when the dot timers are green...those are the ones I need to let fall off completely before i reapply?
( Pawn: v1: "Cóóby - Assassination (Raidbots)": Class=Rogue, Spec=Assassination, Agility=1.91, CritRating=1.80, HasteRating=2.01, MasteryRating=1.81, Versatility=1.70, Dps=9.51, OffHandDps=1.14 ) get MOAR haste
@sweet rampart no, it just tells you the pandemic window
depending on how they're buffed by exang or SS you may or may not let them drop
it doesn't dynamically account for exang and SS
just gonna use your noggin 
gotcha, well i am decent at using it lol
on cd me thinks
How is it, with all the nuance that goes into sin, people consider this the faceroll spec
just got a 375 galecaller :)))))))))))
I think you’re supposed to use on cd. The iffy case is holding vanish/vendetta for 15 sec @ 2’min to line up with 4th exsang. Whether that’s worth or not idk.
I’m also considering holding exsang for galecallers, would result in a few lost uses over a fight, but 1200 haste each use might be worth
idk what the APL sims with either
Sin is easy to play decently but hard to play perfectly
It's considered a faceroll spec cuz it is a faceroll spec
It’s face roll to do mediocre dps.
its nto that hard to play perfectly
every class is like that though
everything is easy to learn hard to master
In min maxing, 5-10% is a shitload of dmg
is https://www.wowhead.com/item=160619/jerkin-of-the-aberrant-chimera any good? it got the ss trait
you can keep your bleeds up and moosh your face on your keyboard and still top damage pugs
5-10% damage is huge lol
10% is pretty massive lol
You saying if I do 10k, and min max it I can do 11k is a huge difference
let me finish reeeeeeeee
finish instead of rambling then 
you can type longer than 1 sentence at a time, you have ample time to finish before pressing send
could someone expalin me aoe rotation? i start with 3 empowered garrote, then crimson tempest, then trying to maintain raprute on targets?
min maxing your damage and min maxing for an encounter are two different things though.
it's easy to just use cds on cooldown etc
but perfect play is subjective and based on the encounter imo
Agreed. Like holding vanish vendetta for 2nd beam on G’huun. Huge.
Additionally, more to Rogues than Damage, especially in Dungeons (less in Raids, but fight-specific). Sims provide a 'best case scenario', but there is more going on in any given run than just 'sit and damage', outside of non-add raid encounters.
perfect example is the rogues in my guild not having cds up for mother final room
A spec is considered hard if there is a moderate amount of rotational thought put into doing decent damage. Some classes have to react to procs and crits and maybe cast something only if something else happens. Sin you can do decent damage with almost no effort if you maintain your bleeds. Sin is very proactive, not reactive, so you kind of know what you're going to do for the whole fight before it even starts. you get to plan around a lot of things happening.
So yes there's a lot to tinker with at the top end to push you up to the orange parses
but it's considered easy because of how it plays relative to other classes
and how adverse conditions affect how the spec plays
imo

Who goes to mother final room?!??!?
Hero room 1 kill her room 2. Faster
Actually valid strat in Heroic this week
Mythic I’m sure you’ll need room 3 but for n+h it’s a joke
we held hero for room 3
We killed her room 2 week 1 heroic
and killed her in about 15 second
we send 5 people through at a time anyway haha
i dont like mother
super undertuned in heroic
cant drop daggers for shit
It doesn’t help that my guild is all parse whores so we ignore every mechanic possible. Crossing rooms is hard for us
If you're gearing for Mythics, N+H will be easy. That's always been the case. That doesn't make N+H 'undertuned'.
Hey guys, are the Uldir Azerit Traits better than SS ?
assasin is strongest since nerf?
and beat our heads against bosses
And is your gear on par with folks gearing for Mythics? 😃
You’ll want at least 1 laser matrix to wear inside uldir. But in general you want ss
I guess?
anyone use hero damage?
Case closed.
what are mythic folks looking like gear wise?
360-365
well i'm 359 
They've been pushing gear in prep for the release this week. There is a large swath of the userbase who aren't 350-360+ ilvl
I’m 356 and one of the lowest ilvls in my guild. Most are 360+ right now and we don’t raid till the weekend
i'm 362 - 366 in bags and haven't touched a mythic boss yet.
assasination is simming best since nerfs?
You run Heroic to gear for Mythic.
@solemn wigeon ye
then everyone running heroic is gearing for mythic
the only reason everyones ilvl is low though is bis azerite pieces are mostly 340
so your point about tuning is irrelevant
so
Are you farming 'easy Heroic content' for gear, or are you running it to clear for the first time?
but what is that suppoesd to mean?
How often are you guys paying attention to EP and casting envenoms before it runs out? Or should i just shoot for keeping the Envenom buff uptime
I mean it was my second time through
H mother
with random pugs

the boss dies way to fast for the timers on the rooms
the mechanics are too easy to deal with
@sweet rampart You wont be able to keep it up at all times
the cast times on adds are too long
envenom applies EP tho
you don't even die to one laser
you can send 5 people through the gate at a time
and you don't even need to go to room 3
that seems undertuned
not overtuned

undertuned*
You're losing yourself in my comment when you apply black and white thinking to a dynamic scenario. Prior to H+M raiding, the progression pushed through different instances. Gear one, roll into the other. Guilds would push into one early, start getting pieces, but not be 'farming for the next instance'.
@thick jacinth correct...but Envenom buff lasts longer then EP buff lol
Anyways, back to Assassin talk 😃
...right lol
right, but I cleared mother with a random pug group of 340-345 ilvl people on week one
but even then you should be maximising EP
in like... 3 pulls
hidden blades or crimson tempest for m+ with exsang?
Crimson
Ct is bae
ty ty
I dont think hidden blades is very good
hidden blades is a no go always
but if you're only pulling 1-3 mobs at a time (different affix weeks) poison bomb is probably better
there's no cookie cutter talents lol it depends on your group, affixs and dungeon
always shit
i thought it did a little more
you want shrouded suffocation or laser matrix
some traits are so fucking bad number wise I don't understand the design lol
so 155 dmg
that's basically it

no ss = play sub at this point
and "1 second longer only if it crits" 
so you have to stack mastery to make use of the extension, but you have to crit to make it extend
lmao im lvl 110 and its doing 88 extra dmg per CP

Can someone point me to something that'll help me use exsanguinate properly?
i see pros taking it for pvp so i was wondering if it got changed or something
earlier
I'm having a blast playing assassination in m+, but it's too op to stay that way
Malky, I always wait for 3+
cuz that's what it was in legion
you could just look at the dmg of FoV hitting 2
compared to a mutilate
and estimate poison
or just check the pins

loot better 385 shoulders 
just saw the +15 freehold the sin was using tb instead of exsan
it really is piss poor design
My outlaw friend only plays Pirate and got SS+heed my call 385 shoulders
and isn't wearing them
Tb vs exa f is really close just depends on ur stats
also just because someone doing something doesn't make it right 
Yo that SS bug is nasty
thought for m+ exs was ahead though
depends on your gear
can I pandemic/refresh early my exsanguinated rupture/garrote (not empowered)
I have gc and ex
Yes. If you dont, you lose dps
I wonder if they raveholdt guide had way more depth to the guide it would answer so many questions that you guys hate lol
You replace your double tick speed with a normal tick speed essentially halving your dps for the "clipped" exsang bleed
I don't know if pooling is stil la thing but I imagine it is. it doesn't mention envenom/eleborate planning uptime etc
The shadows at ravenholdt are too busy pushing mythic to update it 😁
lol...but ravenholdt guide has always been soooo minimal lol
The questions most people hate are the ones answered on there already and people are too fucking lazy to read
No...lol the guide doesnt' mention anything about exsang really
I don’t mind answering questions not on there
My personal pet peeve is the "what rogue spec is best?" Question
so if u didnt let out the ex rupture run out, how much of a dps loss is it?
An exanged rupture is basically twice the damage of normal rupture per tick
Depends on your dmg. If rupture is ticking for 1k every second w exsang, thats 1000dps. If you clip it, it becomes 1k every 2 secs, thats 500dps
These numbers are examples. Not real numbers
Interesting
that can be lots of % i guess
so everytime u exsanguinate let every garrote and rupture run out or just rupture?
Its 50% dmg loss times the % of the clipped dot
so I believe you can sort of think of it like refreshing at 11 instead of 5 or something, not sure if this is entirely accurate
Yea
Don’t refresh exanged dots in general
We also talk constantly about other bullshit in here so the questions get pushed up the chat logs very quickly
So if exsang rupture is running out in 2 sec and I have 5 cp do I then just envenom and let the target sit without a rupture for 1-2 sec before I can reapply again?
If you aren’t wasting energy there isn’t any harm in just sitting there
there should a pin with FAQS
For 2 seconds
i guess
If you’re low on energy, just wait
If you’re about to cap, I’d refresh
Bigger dps loss having no rupture
https://www.wowhead.com/item=160648/frenetic-corpuscle&bonus=4798:1477 got that from uldir chest. feels terrible and and my 25 level lower harlands sims better..
I would guess
Alright, ill try and keep that in mind
You’d have to sim something like that to test which is worse but pooling is something you have to get used to for rogue in general
If you aren’t wasting resources you generally aren’t wasting that much damage
Outside of cds ofc
Dont really know how to seem specific situations like that. But yeah, I didn't think about just sitting there when im low on energy regardless
sim*
Yeah you would have to change the APL which requires more knowledge than just plugging into raidbots
another one, how do you open on G'huun? seems like a waste to vendetta the tentacles
I baby sit orb runners 
probably just garrote 3 tentacles
rupture mute mute rupture another one
mute mute rupture another one
if you have 3 close enough to fan then fan
if two just maintain bleeds till they die
or ST them and move to the next one

the tentacles die way too fast for me to rupture all of them tho
yeah maybe easier to just multi garrote
maybe get 2 ruptures up
then just spam one down and move on

14.5k club 
depends on difficulty for sure on ghuun tenticles ive been opening on left tentacles while everybody is nuking down the right ones with buff then ill get second buff
do you find your ST dps to be low in dungeons at times? rocking about 6% haste and it's not great I feel
Looks Like Assassin's scaling will Go through the roof fairly quick
@frigid lagoon that such good luck on those m10 shoulders!
Can someone help me analyse my logs ?
Felt like i was good on this fight, and then my dps started falling at the end of the fight
why does tb sim higher than exsang for me
garrote and rupture uptimes are very low
crazy that agility is worse than 1point of mastery @frigid lagoon
you messed up your rotation @hot flume on your second ability

and you one CP envenomed after toxic blade
then you 2 cp envenomed after 1 mutilate

everything is wrong after your first garrote
wat is this 
k no flamerino, read the guide about opener and rotatoin
lots of room for improvement
so from some people im hearing to double garrote when i vanish for full cp right away and the pendemic. should i do this in my opener also?
is the reorigination array buff included in sims? I'm not sure when to switch to from ss pieces?
well thats why im asking, it doesnt show that
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3CVGUaFFTEjzw6d1tWcjxo
We dps flexing?
opener is garr rup garr
The guide says Garrote - Rupture - Garrote
since you guys are checking logs 😃 See anything stupid from mine?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/atvVy4GLC16zxrDw/#fight=8&type=damage-done
GGR openeer instead of GRG
only cast 2 exangs
technically could have gotten 4
but if you saving them for trinkets 3 should be reasonable
energy capped a lot
I am having a hard time lining up perfect ruptures with full garrotes for that exsang
98% uptime should be closer to the mid 99.%
better to get 80% rupture and fresh garrote
then missing an exang on a fight
When i have exsang come up should I just refresh Rupture even if it still is up for like 12-13 seconds to get a full garrote with exsang?
kk
ohh yeah what site is that?
wowanalyzer
i forgot that existed
just drop the log in there
yeah it will always yell at you for wasting garrote CP now 
but the rest of the info is good
your garrote does nearly 19k dps with exsang lmao
wtf is that
wait
you don't even have exsang
your garrote just does 19k dps
my sims are showing exsang doing nearly identical dps to toxic blades
is this normal?
yeah
Is that bad Czerny?
my TB is about 300~ more o:
my garrote doing 19k with exsang?
no it's pretty crazy that one ability does that much damage
gona go with the sim.... really hoping it's taking into account the amount of free full CP ruptures you get in M+ with shrouded suffo
IDK about free
how do i copy a log after a fight
Can someone explain exactly what makes GRG better than GGR?
I've been mainly playing exsang, why choose tb over it?
I am still confused sometimes on dummy my dps spikes hard up to 20 k in opener, and sometimes it just sits around 10 k after the vanish gg
why not free? 2 extra garrotes gives a full combo bar
rupture, garrote again
another free point
2 points**
do you line up your second vendetta with vanish?
ah kk
Can someone explain exactly what makes GRG better than GGR?
@devout moth my best guess is to maximize the time on your bleeds before exs but I don't honestly know if that's the case lol
More tick time on your ss empowered garrote
Because it's GRGMR so you have 2 max length bleeds right before ven/gcb->exs
GRGVMRE
Wheras with GGR you'd go GGRM(M)R which ticks down the G timer

https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
the combo gives you the max amount of time on both garrote and rupture
so your exsang hits hard
guide says grg for toxic blade w/ no exsang ...whats the reason for that?
You still have the empowered garrote
I mean tbh it's probably uptime on SS/Subt powered garrotes still
isnt it just resetting the garrote though? only 1 tick will have passed
If you GGR you are instantly reapplying garrote instead of giving the first one another tick or so before re-doing it
Honestly probably a very minimal change, esp with TB but it's all about min-maxing
How to DPs on trash pulls?
You get the extra 6 pandemic seconds either way
I feel like my dps is so low
yeah
I think the point is to get that extra GCD worth of superpowered garrote in to min max damage
no you get 6 more seconds on turbo garrote
Because with GRG the first G is ticking a couple times before reapplying, with GGR it might tick once instead
You get 6 more seconds whether you GRG or GGR, that's the point that they are making
right you grg so that rupture gets ticking faster
one GCD faster
and you get one GCD more ticks on your garrote
Both dots up quicker
Like the people asking why GGR over GRG probably understand the pandemic
Guaranteed no cp waste
and your second rupture refreshes with pandemic
so you get long rupture sooner too
it's just better
for lots of reasons
w/ or w/o exang
I understand it's better lol, I wasn't the one asking the question
I was explaining some of the reasoning behind it
How do I add a condition to my weakaura that changes my garrotes colour when buffed by subter?
i'm explaining to anyone that wants to know
not you specifically, not trying to be preachy
@worthy owl it requires a unique script, might be able to find one someone has already written
I just remember it since it's so important and infrequent that we have super powered Garrote
I thought those dots only became longer when initial ones are <7 sec or smth like that
Just gets a bit hectic sometimes, ill have a look
Sims for last night showing Sin pretty high... scared for the future!
Do you guys know of any mythic boss guides for assass? Or at least how to max on the first 2-3?
my problem is i dtart the fight with like 15 to 17 k vor the first 2 min than i jut go downe to like 8k dps and never come back to higher dps
Yeah same here... although I'm still not simming in any spec where I was as sub last week lol
Sub I was like 13.7 or so, sin I am now like 13.3
I didn't gear up outlaw at all tbh. just sin and sub
getting new sin traits is a huge pain
I found sin by far the easiest to get
Still have 325 fist offhand for outlaw... honestly probably just better to run one of my 345 daggers but I don't sim outlaw enough to know that 😛
After your opener, your damage will burn down a bit until your next vanish vendetta phase
you should recover some then
and on the one after if the boss is long enough
"
-You can use a dagger in the offhand, it is no different from any offhand axe/sword/mace/fist since combat potency/ability damage are normalised; however you need to have a mace/sword/fist/axe in the main hand so you can use dispatch."
you just gotta focus on uptime on the boss and never dropping bleeds
less movement the better
Method still using sub rogues
randomly walking out of range on accident and missing a few autos will add up too
Sub still does lots of damage
at what stat values does exsang become better than TB?
and has lots of utility
@arctic crow they're switching between sub and assa
@safe matrix yeah that's what I thought, I just don't Outlaw enoguh to bother simming it... good to know though, I'll scrap my fist weapon then though 😛
TB is 200 higher for me
use tb then 
RIP next week
Yeah... until it gets nerfed
why rip next week?
I've been maining outlaw, but prob gonna switch off it for consistency.

I'm guessing he said rip next week because sub and outlul were number 1 and 2 for like 4 days and they came out with a nerf
lol
Well actually they were between 1-3
basically yes
people never believed me when I said all three specs were good
"even assassination"
yes
everything thats nt affliction should not be #1
if that's blizz logic I'm looking forward to the day we all do 0 dps kek
Yeah... I dunno why people were hating on sin last week... it was like the number 6 spec in the raid last week lol
is the combo point bonus from ss still not stacking?
Then they nerfed the top 3 this week and we climbed up somehow over even people that didn't get hit with nerfs
Prob just more people actually gearing sin and stuff now 😛
I mean something has to be #1. Are they just going to nerf everything at #1? XD
It’s because more people started playing sin
@unreal wraith its not supposed to be stacking
also APL changes made sin better
Fuckin fotm mongos scared of a 5% nerf
it's true I only finished my 3x SS this week, played sub/outlaw last week
Honeslty I dunno if they'll actually nerf sin... sub, outlaw, and BM got the nerfs because they were WAAAY above the next people
Like they’re word 1st raiders
Sin is like... honestly really close to aff and whatever is next right now
@storm siren ty, so we stacking ss just for the damage increase?
And also like number 8 in mythic, which... rip melee
Yeah
@unreal wraith No utility stacks on azerite
Sin will either get nerfed, or the others will be buffed to it's level. /shrug
Not enough mythic logs yet though
IMO they should work on bringing the bottom DPS up to par
Instead of beating down classe
Agreed.
Outlaw and sub are still top specs. We're ahead yesterday
Yeah but rogue tends to not be amazing in mythic even when we're number 1 in heroic and normal... lots of mythic pushing guilds kinda hate on melee anyways
Were
My guild has 4 demon hunters and 2 warriors
We mongo as fuck
And they absolutely should bring the bottom up now... the top several specs are all pretty close right nwo
But the bottom 4-5 all super suck
I played spriest last xpac
I wouldn’t mind playing it again if it wasn’t so dogshit
That 20% dot buff?
Yeah... middle isn't where a lot of people like to be lol
On ur 2 main dots. Bandade but seemed to work
i know a lot of people like the middle of the pack for not being nerfed reasons
Yeah it was only like a 3% ST buff but I imagine it’s super good the more targets there are
I still follow spriest just Incase they unfuck it

Honestly the best place to be IMO is like number 3-5 range... not a lot of nerfs but usually pretty close to the top lol
Like sin missed this nerf wave this week even though it was honestly super good from the beginning
Can anyone tell me a reason they like exsang other than it does more dps than toxic blade
Because it was under the top few 😛
@tranquil wave what other reason is there to "like" or "dislike" a talent?
Honestly I feel like they play super similar... but exs is better so... I just use that instead lol
Do you delay every 3rd exsang to line up with Vanish/Vendetta or use on CD?
I don't see anything on RH about exsang usage in that situation
Either hold 3rd exs for those or hold those for 4th depending on some factors is my understanding
Like vulnerability phases, whether or not you have GCB, fight timing , etc
guys do you pick poison bomb or crimson tempest for m+ situations?
makes sense
Depends
next question, is it worth refreshing rup/gar early prior to exsang?
Generally CT
i feel like blizzard's balance strat now is
but PB can be good for some affixes
nerf top 3 specs in the logs by 5%
buff lowest by 5%
until they get some sort of equilibrium
lol
rather than fix core issues
Here's the thing about sin compared to sub and outlaw last week... sub and outlaw last week were in th top 3 with BM by a large margin on every fight... sin honestly is only number 1 on 1 fight right now and just is super steady everywhere else... so its overall performance is high because of that
Why play sub over ass now?
Which fight are we number 1 on?
Fetid. I mean it's low parses so it's not 100% right now
But my point was that we're not crushing EVERY fight like sub and outlaw were last week
Honestly there are a few fights where we're in the upper-middle
But we also aren't low on any fight

I'm having some trouble with the sin rotation with 3xSS outside of the opener
I think the line up of Ven/Vanish/GCB/Exs for the 3rd exs is just perfect for most of us right now
Wow ass right below outlaw for zek
So it's a massive DPS boost right as the vuln phase starts
Outside of opener, doese garotte refresh only matter when i vanish?
Yes.
ALso how does this change when using exsang
@untold current when using exsang you want max duration bleeds up, so as it's coming time to use it you want to be reapplying a pandemic garrote and rupture
But honestly you generally want to pandemic anyways
So pretty much use it on cool down, but also use your brain and try to line stuff up when feasible based on current stage of the fight?
so want to use it at optimal bleed times
Yes... and my understanding is that lining up exs with GCB if you have it is really good too... but only up to certain time frames
GCB?
oh the trinket
so you would refresh Rup/Garrotte prior to casting exang
even if you're above pandemic range
You don't want to hold on to stuff for too long though right? Assuming the boss is attackable.
Or you don't have a vulnerable phase
do people use exsanguinate for m+?
I'm going to.
@civic forge I do for boss damage
@misty light you do want to refresh both even outside pandemic
Or prio adds
cool, thanks
I don't have GCB I feel like it will still be better for priority adds.
yea makes sense
So I cant find information on this: I dont have GCB but exsang sims slightly higher than TB
but like half burned ruptures should probably get refreshed
In a fight like Taloc, should I run exsang or TB?
Also, the guide says garotte, rupture, garote, but I see in logs garrote x3
unless you have very specific timers on the kill
It's a pug
Well for me exsanguinate sims higher but it's like 20 DPS
Yea that's what I was wondering
does internal bleeding not proc unless the kidney actually stuns the target?
without having a good timing on the boss
do you wait for exsang garrotte/rups to fall off before refreshing?
it doesn't metter
what if my pug kills the boss right before I have another exsang ready
@unreal wraith has to stun i'm pretty sure
@untold current is that on add bosses or? gx3 at the start honestly doesn't make much sense on a ST situation
@misty light yes
ok
@raven mica then you killed the boss
collect your loot
so refresh during pandemic normally, allow SS garottes and exsang garrote/rups to fall off before refreshing
ST yes
premptively refresh before casting exsang provided there's going to be more than a trivial gain on the timers
and delay 3rd exsang for vanish/vendetta or delay van/vend for 4th exsang depending on estimated kill time
Cant find the log now
For a fight like zekvoz with adds. If vanish is up but no esang. Is it worth getting the SS garotes out and using vanish
Maybe its because you can garotte x 3 and get 6 cp with subterfuge?
almost 15k club i can taste it! https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4wwUfbJ14v9W72B9LrJVDZ
Pack of 4 adds 3 normal and 1 ettin. You're running exsanguinate, tell me how you open
/wa
So like ghunn opener?
Do you triple Garrote separate adds, rupture the priority add, Vendetta exsang?
Foxy 
exsang ot tb?
You're 2 ilvl ahead of me

what are you guys looking at in a sin log atm? just Elaborate Planning uptime? Timing of CDs? What else is big that I"m forgetting?
is the ravenholdt guide up to date? showing you can take toxic blade or exsang? i thought exsang was the top
check my at the time rank 2 taloc parse https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/bwh7gtJ6kK3TfqnW#fight=2&type=damage-done
you know how haste effects bleeds right?
I envy you all with purple shoulders
I do
isnt it dynamic
Exsang isnt
@short token depends on your gear
Thats the catch
exs snapshot ftw
Exang snapshots 
Exsang snapshots based on current haste
Exs uses your current haste level to schedule ticks
And haste changes after do nothing
are you guys using Hidden Blades or Crimson Tempest for m+?
so then how much dps do you lose if you just snapshot exsg then run out immediately of your GC
you guys putting deadly and crippling poinson in raid or only deadly?
@delicate gull not much
🤔
Soooo get a gale
so many exsg isnt that hard
Apparently not much cuz foxy has the 13th best assa parse in the world
I mean you still lose the haste for energy and stuff
maybe*
I'm sure some guild would just race to the 3rd room to get parses
There's gonna be mistakes in a lot of the top ones, and a lot of top guild private log
Nah top parses just kill mother in first/second room
ya but if they wanna parse higher there's guilds out there I'm sure would do that for someone
We're just fuckin with you 
Yeah and that's fine, now you know exsang snapshots and can get #1 next time hopefully
!
so then awlays galecallers then exsang? 🤔
Yeah
even rank 2 can learn
is exsg burst a lot higher than TB in a typical potion lust opener?
With 3 ss exsang destroys tb
maybe i should sim 3 SS with 1 340 piece instead of 2SS with 1 370 twist knife
what about with 2? mine sims pretty close with 2 but that seems like it could be wrong
yeeee tb is like 100 dps behind, but i figured proper usage makes them pretty close during progression
for me
lol
rip
Riparino
if it's any consolation it does sim a bit higher than SOME dungeon 340s by a bit
Foxy is a good example of a big issue with people trying to learn rogue. They focus on a lot of nit picky stuff in the rotation instead of the macro stuff like not randomly dropping bleeds or keeping boss uptime good
or efficient movement
or positioning
I worded that poorly
I got a 365 midas trinket with static agi AMD was so happy until i actually simmed it lower than one of my 355's :(
and*
While foxy is pumping damage, other people are arguing about whether or not to vendeta before or after a mutilate

personally i vendetta after exsanguinate to regain the energy after casting it
kappa
I'd say a huge portion of the top players play off instinct/feelycraft too
@hidden dome
🦊
hows your haste lookin now foxy?
hey guys, can someone tell me how the st rotation with exsang looks like ?
in a key sec
ty @keen spruce
whats our rotation on adds? do we just ST and cleave with fan?
or do we apply dots on targets
nice @fierce ingot im still struggling with 2 340 daggers wasnt lucky yet with bonus rolls on mother for the daggers 😄
@severe raven I try to rupture/garrote up to 5 targets
hi guys, sry vut this will probably be a repeat - with the outlaw nerf, I'm looking at assa again as I have 2 ss traits..where can I find more info on what the actual rotation should be depending on traits or if I use exs/ toxic vlade?
!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.
while keeping CT up
and using fan to generate CP
@void otter It's the same except you use TB instead of Exang

and you don't wait for your second TB to line up with your trinkets
Anyone have a good Pandemic WA tracker?
cuz the timing is different
is anyone messing with wowanalyzer
Assassination WA's for BFA:

or this one
@rough agate messing with as in updating?
or using?
updating
they're always work in progress
oh..that still leaves me with heaps of questions though - for instance, if I have semi-full bleeds active and exs comes off cd, do I delay until I reaplly bleeds? do I just reapply bleeds right away and then use exs or do I wait for bleeds to go into pandemic to then use exs?
anyone know if theres an option for "increased boss damage phases" in simulationcraft? I wanna know if a 150dps loss is worth for these types of fight with 3 SS. Otherwise my 2 SS with one twist is technically better in a normal patchwerk fight
the only thing you should ignore on wowanalyzer right now is the wasted combo points from garrote
the rest is solid info
ok thanks
@void otter Reapply bleeds even when outside pandemic, within reason. Delay exang for your haste trinket, otherwise use on cd. reapply bleeds in pandemic unless they are buffed by SS or exang
At what point is it worth it to drop a Shrouded Suffocation trait for a raid gear? Had a 355 helm with lazer matrix drop, would overwrite my 340 SS head. Have all 3 slots with SS right now
Try to keep one SS trait always, otherwise if it sims higher use it
the stacking SS traits is for damage
@keen spruce do I need to use, fx. Galecallers before I press exsang or is it fine to use it right after?
so if another trait does more damage 
thank you
Galecaller's first preferably
Exang snapshots your current stats
so more haste on the cast is preferrable
Only haste levels
i cannot load a dummy fight log in wowanalyzer?
When do you use gale in the opener? Combo with vendetta?
Or literally right before exsang everytime
Do we still run Subterfuge if we are not running Exsanguinate ?
do people play the "garrote build" with 3x garrote azerite trait with exsanguinate?
@desert oyster Yes
is it normal to feel energy starved always?
What about if there is not Shrouded Suffo ?
@oblique juniper Dummy fights don't really work
will dungeons do?
@sweet rampart with vendetta either manually or macro'd is easiest
@desert oyster yes subterfuge. not sure without SS
@obsidian ridge yes, it's the only real build right now
@sweet rampart I macro it to Vendetta and then try and use it cd
so every other one lines up with vendetta
@severe raven yes kind of until you get lots of haste
Roger roger
@oblique juniper you can sim dungeons I think... but you might as well just join an LFR fetid
if you wanna do a target dummy sim
1 uldir trait + double ss for raids right
so talents are 2-2-2-x-x-3-1?
no, deeper strat isn't worth
for trash in dungeons do you bother dotting adds?
@obsidian ridge TB and Exsang are pretty even
22122(2/3)1
When are the best times to shoot for pooling @severe niche ?
@severe raven yes keep rupture and garrote on up to 5 targets
okay thanks
that's all of your energy regen
@sweet rampart if you're starved right before vanish/vendetta
good time to pool
try to get to 60 energy before vendetta
That's the easiest time
^
I don't do it much outside of that, but if saving a little energy will help get you rupture and garrote refreshes a little cleaner then it's worth
@keen spruce Is it normal energy capping at the start of lust pulls? Feels like theres nothing I can really do about it
Yep, same for me
thats the fun of it isnt it?
definitely more fun than spamming RtB for the entire duration of BL
Hi, did you guys use crimson tempest at M+?
have they simmed the archive of the titans with the aura?
how much haste shut i have on assa ??
Yes warrhunter
because i feel i have not enough
it's better if you use it properly
it's worse if you don't
@wicked nymph as much as you can find
currently there's not enough to go around
only rupture one target?
mighr be a stupid question, but can we use fist weapons
rupture on up to 5 targets when cleaving
@weak oak No
you can equip them
garrot on 1 target?
but you cannot use abilities
@weak oak wont be able to use mutilate
ah okay thanks
garrote multiple targets with SS and subterfuge
try and keep it active on like 2-4 targets
the CD will prevent you from reliably keeping up on everything
ss?
For me - I vanish if adds are spawning
If you have a regular garrote up, then vanish and apply SS-garrote to 3 other targets, does the bug still apply?
Do you all use any afdons to track bleeds on multiple targets?
should only be like a 10-15 second delay
@strange python no unless you cast a 4th out
from sub
@severe raven shourded suffication
I use the name plates for it robg
@young meteor I have my bleeds displayed above nameplates
So I can safely vanish+garrote even if I have a regular garrote on some other target?
how do you use the second exsang, rupture max cp and garrote then exsang? Do you care about overcapping cps for the rupture ?
Thanks. I think I'll move positioning and set them to be stacked
yes @strange python
yes to your first point shaylen
Ok ty
what about the second ?
and does the order matter? rupture or garrote first ?
you don't want to overcap cp in normal rotation
Order doesn't matter
order doesn't matter that much
order doesn't matter if they're both refreshed before exang
just rup-garr-exsang instead
Is it worth it to save vanish for second exsang ?
thought so
2:20 lines up all 3 cd's roughly
so you want to delay vanish and vendetta for exsang
on the 2:20 lineup yes
oookay
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4KvXP692jW11fsc1nWLSaW is this ok for this gs??
yeah thats fine
ok thx
So you would delay vanish and vendetta for the 3rd exsang?
generally cooldowns are vend/vani/exsang, exsang, vend/vani/exsang, exsang
yeah
you line up cd's on every odd exsang
Okay cool. Gonna try and think about that next raid
the 2:20 lineup is optimal
the line ups later on like exsang 5 and 7 for example don't have to line up
but Its not a loss
where are you seeing this
depends on the context of the author
just based on what you said, I would assume it means having 5 ruptures at 4-5 cp
because you never finish at less than 4 under normal circumstances
5 ruptures? Thats a whole lot of trash
so at 2:20 you'd be delaying exs number 4 right? If you use exs in the opener, then again 45 s later( around 52-53s into the fight) 45s later (around 1:37ish) and then the next one will be up right around the 2:20 mark for ven/vanish right?
for whoever asked earlier, 19% haste atm
still highest stat?
but EX or TB?
k
yes
Foxy sims Haste and Mastery higher than Agi 
WHAT THE IN
Turbo good stats
1.1k dps ahead of me at basically the same ilvl
on sims
much more irl
cuz i'm bad

oh nvm
Wow , this I must show my guild mates xD
where does that dagger drop
My guildy disc priest is 369 😄
385 azerite pieces from pvp lmao
one smol boi is popular :3
356itmlvl
I got nothing from fiest 2 mythic...or 2 clears of hc
Fuckin zzzz
Tell a lie, I got the HC ghuun trinket thats complete garbage
i got a heroic dagger form the weekly quest xd
or else id be fucked
and 365 from a underrot
should be gucci for prog
First 2 bosses flop over anyways. Alot more gearing before majority kills more than that I guess
Hey fam, just wondering how detrimental it actually would be to have the weapon enchants swapped? I am pretty much broke on my character and just got a new dagger, so im swapping my previous main hand (Deadly Navigation) over to OH. Would love to just buy a single Quick Navigation and put it on the new MH weapon.
did they fix mother bug?
Which hand you have which enchant on is irrelevant
Oh nice, ok thank you!
Assuming you're using two daggers, but yeah
my sin ST patchwork is simming almost 1k lower than outlaw lol
Yup
so are you supposed to save 2nd vendetta for second vanish and treat the situation as if you are opening on the target all over again?
with SS, is it better to garrote from steal on two target then rupture the third or apply garrote to three targets then rupture?
even with overcapping
garrote on 3
ok thanks
coo appreciate it
normal?
Heroic
Paste the difficulties in your flexing.
does anyone know if Alliance has a raider training dummy without adds near it? my laser matrix keeps proccing on the adds dummies
Class hall.
guys, should you delay vendetta+vanish if exs is (say) 15-20 sec from coming off cd?
haha yeah p1 is such a pad fest. nothing else to do except interrupt and spread shit
Cuz you SHOULD have enough Monks, DHs, and Warriors to deal with it.
