whats the 355 SS piece from conquest
but I never heard of it
what's it called
Dread gladiator's leather vest
do i have to let the exsanged rupture run out or can i refresh on pandemic?
Is it worth using a low CP Envenom during burst if it means I maintain EP?
dont refresh a exsanguinate garrote/rupture, every time you do that, a little bunny dies somewhere
ty @spice surge
@split dirge you shouldn't need to if you do your rotation correctly
do we use CT in ST before exsang ?
So do we just play naturally atm and not play for close to 99% uptime for it?
@gusty kestrel or @solid nova can you pin something about this? its at least 2-3x the same question per hour, asking about refreshing exsaguinate rupture or garrote on pandemic
g g g ct fok spam, ruptures
depending on pack size u spend cp on CT
or envenom for prio targets
KK
g = garrote btw
Wait do we get to choose our Conquest piece this week like last week? As I don't see a 355 SS piece, just one with the FOK trait π€’
wtf thats broken
I have two laser matrix but i feel like it doesnt even stack
I knew it was with weap but i didnt think we would get to choose our azerite piece
.>
yea i should dbl check
do you run CT on tyrannical?
@plain thistle herorotation is just aethysrotation under new branding
i run PB on Tyrannical
is there a internal cd for laser matrix?
@rapid halo you want 2-3 on elite targets only
@strange python yes pb is completly overrated for tyr.
hmmm, yeah based on simc apl, still dont like rotation addon
times were pb was 10% of ur dmg are gone
its always better to learn why you are pressing buttons
Yeah I don't recommend rotation addons either
are they 4/5 cp ruptures and i assume reapplying CT is priority over rupture?
Just telling you that you have infact seen the addon before
depends on how many mobs
3 max
π
mostly 2,5
haven't tried it yet, gonna run it next time and see
ct always > rup
thanks
if u dont have ct up on trashpacks and lack energy u fucked op ur opener anyway
talking about bigpulls
well yes on opener CT first

5-whatever
but in maintaining bleeds after
if u have 4 bleedings running u should never go out of energy
since while ct running u apply rupture anway
and then u reapply ct
and with the exp u know when to spam ct and when to reapply rup for energy
someone who understands maths
talk to me about shrouded suffocation
whats up here
it shouldnt be +500%
It gets multiplied by subterfuge
i kinda want them to nerf SS or buff other traits π
Does EP buff apply to dots on all my targets or just the dots on my current target?
!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.
anyone know how to value shrouded suff traits in m+ over something like a 370 azerite piece with laser matrix?
Yeah its slightly more than the tooltip suggests
EP gives you a bbuff @mossy flame
As is most traits
sorry 340 shrouded suff piece
Or some atleast, i know twist the knife shows the wrong values too
not slightly tho, it's like double
Is there a way to sim with and without reorigination array?
it's closer at +1000
i dont get it
the tooltip is just wrong?
theres no multiplier im missing?
thats boring
anyway that is insane, +500% garrotte ticks
i need a third
Cant get it higher than 340 on shoulders and 355 on head though π
you can, you just have to be lucky in your weekly
Unless you're really skilled at looting your weekly chest, only a 2% chance though
RNG harder
so is a 370 laser matrix > 340 shrouded suff in m+?

So I'm suuuper new to rogue, and just wanting to make su re my spec can do multiple things. Can ass keep up in aoe? I mean not like crazy or anything
I like the feel of it, just was worried since everyone is telling me it won't do any aoe, I'm not 120 yet and I don't want to play outlaw if I don't have to
With vanish?
must have been lucky with PB
40k should be np
I mean if its low keys and you cant keep up then your group is pacing well
Are you keeping up rupture on a bunch of targets?
in a normal big pull
rupture only to get energy as much as need otherwise ct
@proven ice ofc
Is assassination best spec for m+?
no i dont play with p @silk jolt
Why take a chance with PB when you can get always lucky with CT
ct mastertier
I spam FoK instead of mutilate in an aoe situation right for my combo points
all specs are viable in both raids and m+ @prisma harbor
Yeah just wondered which was best
sin is best at higher keys since your dots have time to work
It also depends a lot on your team comp, affixes and dungeon
but at +10s it doesnt matter all specs are pretty equally viable
And for raids? Same thing?
Burr
Well of course they are, allowing your tank the ability to kite is irreplaceable
other classes can allow the tank to kite too, assa for example
Frost does really good damage ontop of it
I laughed at that
So just so I know I'm reading this right, I can use a finisher at 4 points?
cus a lot of the time I'm at 4/5 and it's a nnoying af
yeah thats why you just do it
Frost mage and sin rogue are basically manadtory in high m+ because of kiting
Anyone got a link or annything all dungeons that drop daggerss
Dungeon journal. Set loot to weapon and spec to sin. It takes like 10mins at most
@sand canyon Im gonna try to beat that 60k, will need jesus to align. and have just a monster pull.
i did like the bladeflurry blade rush on packs, but gggct is my jam
/cast [@mouseover,nodead,harm] Garrote; Garrote
this works right ?
yes
dunno. left click a target, then press. 2
poison bomb or crimson tempest for m+?
π΄
Both
both
until you have the experience to prefer one over the other. just play CT
why not just play pb tho, zero experience required π
When I'm coming out of stealth in like a 2-3 target situation, should I try and get super garrotes on everything and then ruptures?
Carrot all the things
thats an old legion log. dont do that.
bummed they nerfed the Hit/tick ratio for CT tho. cause this one didnt last long.
was like 45% of pack dmg. rip
@nimble tartan you still sin, or do sub jump
Is it worth to play with exsang without shrouded trait?
garrote on 2 masterrace here as well
probably not worth playing sin without shrouded trait
g, tab ggr. vendetta mut mut rupture gc exag. π
how do the conquest rewards work, i earned the dagger last week so i have the chest, does it just stay on that until i finish it, or does it change on tuesday
blessed be thy bleed.
yeah i'm runnin 2 SS 1 Lazer Matrix pretty fun
i like seeing healing numbers go everywhere π
Ill keep an eye out for lazers but my ST and Cleave are both the same for now.
@urban storm they said that conquest rewards would "stack" up to 3 weeks.
So if you dont finish this week you'll still have it next week and then when you finish, youll have next weeks reward too.
ok
So if I do next week's I can get 3 rewards at once?
I would need 3 weeks worth of points though right?
So on a fight like Vectis, if I have empowered Garrotes up on the boss and an Amalgam spawns, do I skip putting garrote on it until the empowered garrotes fall off
Because of the bug
thats the wrong one tho noobe
Yes rhino
@lone junco use the proper one please
!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.
yet T_T
when should I refresh CT instead of rupture? 3 targets?
well, when you can afford it
if youd starve on energy because you refreshed a CT and then cant use fok for another 2 seconds, then you wouldve been better off by recasting rupture instead
ideally you never get into that position
but critluck sometimes fucks you over
but catching up on ruptures once youre starving might lead to much bigger downtimes on CT, so i personally prioritize rupture over CT in those situations
@silk sundial yes and yes you would need 1500conquest points total.
anyone here know how to make the spellicons bigger on ThreatPlates? switched to this nameplate to keep track of my dots
is fathoms still worth buying ?
Yes
I'm trying to figure out what dungeons Crimson Tempest is better for, but I'm also feeling like with tyrannical poison bomb isn't a terrible idea.
I run PB for tyrannical
What do people mean when they double garrotte? I donβt mean for dungeons where you garrotte two targets but they say this for bursting in pvp
For ex garrotte garrotte exsang, why the second garrotte ?
it will pandemic a MAX of 30%
Feelsbad; swapped from sub to sin with 2 SS traits but lose 700 sims dps π¦
how are people getting their SS trait on shoulders? atm im hardstuck with a 325 shoulder with it, and ive done freehold 0 for the week
is there any content i can do to get it?
No.
Uldir bosses drop ss on helm/shoulders
what
SS shoulders?
Zul and the one after him
i dont think o
freehold m0
Make a full leather group and run the mythic dungeon weekly. Hopefully someone in the party gets it
^this
Those shoulders have ss
just find a few other leather people like boomies or monks
I need to do that today for the shrine helm
those shoulders have scent of blood
and ask them whether they wanna do a m0 run for traits, so they trade you shoulders in freehold, and then you run something for them aswell, i.e. boomy chest in ataldazar or smth like that
Yeah outside of m0 you're SoL for shoulders.
I think the world boss and Fetid have SS helm and chest
is it possible to get those 340+ tho? atm i have 325 wq ones but they arent great
nah
Also conquest chest has SS
only 340 one is from freehold
what a fun system
and then you can get one from weekly chest ofc
All uldir bosses az piece have ss
sure am glad i cant do m+ to actually target my gear π
Wb has helm w ss
imagine if they stuck with azerite being untradable π
Fh has shoulders
ur lying
i literally just posted a screen u melt
Shift click the item in shift j
I got 355 Gold Tassled Epaulets from my weekly cache
You're wrong Yamsa.
That had SS
lucker
I want
IT HAS SS
yeah, thats the freehold ones @fading spade
Shrouded suffication
holy fuck it doesn
Ahhh are they?
I have the chest as well and it does ππ
SS better in pvp over twist the knife ?
But hookay
b
^this
Which kind of bums me out because my mythic cache was a 385 chest with it. Why couldn't it have been shoulders.
So many chest sources with it
My goal for Azerite is chest from fetid, helm from mythrax and pray to rngesus for shoulders w ss from m+/pvp cache
I just switched for assa for like 2 minutes on a dummy, jesus your energy regen is fast
feels like I'm in AR
With the exg build after opener are u gonna exg again after refrest the bleeds or how is it with that i mean after opener is done
my goal for azerite is for someone at blizzard deciding to scrap the mechanic and just make it major/minor glyphs instead
honestly id be ok with azerite if they just made raid traits actually not utter dogshit
and maybe reduce lvl req a bit
I know this is a pipe dream, but I just wish the other choices were as compelling.
raid pieces are fine, laser matrix is pretty bonkers
and you get the scaling stat-buff aswell
so I have a 340 piece that has SS and Heed my call that out sims a raid chest piece that is 355 by 100 dps.....fml
I dont think you can get a ss shoulder higher than 340
from m+ chezt only
You want max pandemic bleeds for exsang. IE if itβs a time where youβre not lining it up w cool downs, refresh rupture+garrote right as exsang comes off cd and use it
gonna be fun when the new raid opens and you lose your 10stack 1.5k haste azerite trait π
yeah thats like winning the lotto tho
That's kind of my goal. Laser hood, already have 385 SS chest. So my dream really is getting a good set of shoulders from the chest.
maybe next week conquest cap will give an SS shoulder
Can get shoulders w ss from pvp chest as well
1800 rating for heroic level. 2100 rating for mythic level
Is Mydas' Talisman any good right now?
Can you cooby?
pretty bad
The 355 SS chest was this weeks pvp quest.
yeah
=/=
every rogue should have it
dont think there is a ss pvp shoulder
how does the pvp chest work? is it just by being rated at end of week?
You sure? I thought there was
or you need a certain rating
there isnt one with ss trait on it
The best way to find out is to look up the trait on Wowhead and the corresponding pieces that can have it
There, I posted a question to the Ion AMA
Then figure out which ones can actually upgrade
Highest rating you had during the previous week. If you hit 1820 then drop to 1700 Monday, it will be based on 1800 rating. (This is what Iβve read, can not confirm true or not)
the only shoulder azerite would be from hitting the loto in ur mythic chest
for ss
@split dirge you need a minimum rating to get a chest. I think rewards start at 1400
fuckin hell
Nvm, Sel has actual info
i did a couple hours of 3v3 yesterday and got 1k π€’
Read his pic
so just git gud, get 2.4k, get 375 base ilvl after match
and unlike legion, those pieces can roll any statcombo, whereas legion always had versatility+X
same for everything as far as im aware
Any of the above
3v3/rbg give more conquest per match afaik
^
For the armor chest piece, it's a quest you just need to get 1000 conquest points to unlock
Random or rated erodrea?
can also do the weekly quest in mugumbala or whatever its called, where you gotta kill 10players in a specific zone and loot one of those pubg chests
Hmm. Iβm slacking
that one gives 250conquest i think?
rated is more I believe
wait i dont understand, why does it show a reward for unranked + ? surely you need to be at least ranked to get a piece
you get pieces based on your rating
unranked means you dont get a title thats linked to it
since every bracket has a title
Idk. I got to 1.2k in 2s and 3s last week just capping conquest. Havenβt checked chest though cause Iβm bad
kinda like diamond/silver/gold leagues in other games
for pvp those are the old titles, like duelist, challengr etc.
anyone knows how to make my was so it checks if my garrote is buffed by SS?
but by showing unranked doesnt that imply that you get a weekly chest without even playing pvp?
do you need EP pandemic bleeds ?
unranked just describes the 0-1399 bracket
oh i see
You probably need to at least play one match. It might be you have to cap conquest to get the chest. Iβm not sure
if you cap your conquest bar you get a weekly chest
regardless of your rating
the chest contain the reward you see
obviously if you queue it makes it faster
for 2s and 3s
and if you cap conquest along with being rated you get an additional weekly chest?
with a guaranteed azerite? as it says azerite piece ilvl
if you are rated your reward after match ilvl goes up
based on your rating
if you are unrank your reward after match is like 325
or something less
fuck i wish i could play pvp decently
regardless if you cap your conquest meter you get a chest next week
Is there a list of trinkets for assass pinned or am I being blind
Has a trinket list
unraked is 355
Thx
which build are you guys using for mythic plus
any tips for simming for m+?
is the bug with losing surterfudge buff if we garrote 3 consecutive targets still happening?
i just got my gale caller, whats optimal way to use it in m+
or is it not the best?
if you apply an unbuffed garrote ya
which build are you guys using for mythic plus
do we need to wait the buffed garrotes to expire 1st psyko then?
yeah you should im pretty sure
although you can vanish and garrote another 3 or 4 if u can squeeze it in
as long as you dont apply any without subterfuge buff until the buffed ones run out youre fine
which build are you guys using for mythic plus? Can someone please answer me?
the one in the pins
What are best weap enchants for ass pvp?
whatever
Anyone know if a SS helm drops from M+?
Is 3x sharpedned blades viable in pvp?
no azerite pieces drop in m+ @fiery oxide
M0, mb
Shrine of the Storm last boss drops SS head
Cowl of Fluid Machinations or something like that
yuh thats the one
think it has heed my call aswell if im not mistaken
is SS still bugged?
ys
is there any statement of Blizz why the raid trinkets are so shit
it's blizzard
Is MP or EP better for mythic +'s? Like is one stronger on single target over multi?
@vocal kelp cheers, one shot per week then & chest on reset?
Is the a hard point of how much crit /Haste/mastery i get from harlans loaded Dice
cause idk if i should use it
since i just got it but 325
and im using 355azerokks resonating heart with a socket
Praise Be.
lul
@nimble gulch just use your azerokks
with a socket its better than 340 harlen, but you can easily just sim it and find out
@fiery oxide yeah pretty much
I have a feeling raid trinkets will get buffed. Maybe im just hoping so i can use this garbo 385 ghuun trinket
TB or Exsang for m+?
On tyrannical, exsang is recommended but both are definitely viable
Sim yourself but on mine they sim close together
https://giphy.com/gifs/reactiongifs-LRVnPYqM8DLag Garrote right now
So probably pref
Every old god boss has had a vanquishing tentacle trinket and they are always dog shit
so no, they wont be buffing it
i got Suffocation and Heed on all my Azerite pieces, too bad two of em are 340 π
@ebon bramble nothing to see here. completely normal damage profile. Lots of work to sustain, very difficult. π
We just need to all do shit for a week in raid
disappear from the top
Sin getting nerfed for sure
@zenith cedar no you
cant wait to have to spec sub next week
I dont want it to get nerfed but its gonna happen
Like everyone take the third part of that tier and dont use tb or exsang
I can confirm
@junior aurora I'm doing my part!
I'm his dad
its gonna be, 5% overall and 20% less garrote trait
^ my dad is married to his dad and I can confirm
Hey dad
carry on son
Hey brother
@wary ether wouldn't it be original?
Itll be something stupid like βgarrote now only generates 1 combo pointβ
Gutted
Garrote is now a poison
So?
Garrote is now a poison might actually make it better
Toxic blade with ss lmao

master poisoner + toxic blade garrote
Garrote now doing 75% of our damage instead of 50
man if they end up gutting ss assassination will be so fucking bland
Youll have to stack scent of blood and just apply a ton of ruptures
For single target probably stack dd
SS is going to get hit soon I would be willing to bet.
Dd isnt awful in its current state. But no ss would make the spec pretty straight forward again (cause ss makes it so hard π΅)
I mean sin was fine before ss, it's not like it's game changing
3x SoB with 4Β± ruptures out is a ton of agi and is nasty on trash just sucks because the dropoff when going ST..and for M+ no gear swapping
I wish rogue talents weren't so ResidentSleeper
Gonna need some good single target buddies
Is shrouded suffocation bugged? Feels like hitting a 4th target with garrotte after sub voids the trait bonus on the previous 3.
Yessir
i love how Method used 5 rogues to kill Zul and mentioned they're use more rogues if they had more geared rogues...
Sub rogues that is
It's a single target fight disguised as an add fight. Sub rogue is right were you want to be on that.
Dont apply garrote until the initial three wear off
thats a big pain in the ass. it's like the pain of underestimating the GCD and slamming your target with shit-garrotte only to override your joocy one - except its a constant rule
Basically theyre entire strat revolved around sub rogue having broken AOE single target
Does anyone have a WA to track garrote empowered with SS?
that'd be swell, id like that too
but sub is supposed to be the cerebral spec, assassination is supposed to be shank em and laugh all the way to top of meters
did i just exit stealth and garrote
do you guys exsang before or after vanish re-apply?
wat
ur joking right
You exang, wait till buffs fall off entirely, then you vanish and ppandemic garrote
^
Hey guys, switching over from subtlety. what are the stat priorities for sin / the best azerite traits?
If you dont have x2 shrouded, dont switch
i do
also, prob not worth switching without Galecaller's
because thats a massive amount of oppener burst dmg you lose (sin is all opener burst dmg)
i have that too
But otherwise, you want haste > agi > crit > mastery > vers
Overwhelming power is the best in the second tier and SS trait is the best for first tier
I could have told you to cehck the pins, but i am a nice guy
ty
you dont need 2SS to use exsang
Theres no point playing sin without SS
what if they do nerf SS?
then we all go sub
what kind of dps should you expect from a 355 assa?
the cycle of life can be cruel
20k
so you want quick navigation main hand, deadly navigation off hand?
13-14k sim depending on traits and stat distribution
well im doing 10k:P
i wish i could be as lucky on my main as i am on my rogue with item drops and azerite
I'm a 350 sin and pull about 12-12.5k in KR, Freehold or Siege. But where there are more lower to mobs I hover about 10k
Lower hp*
10k overall..?
what should be weapon enchants for single target?
M+ build, exh and CT?
do you have 3x SS?
no
nah i have 1
@strange python
ST do you pop GC between first rupture and 2nd garrote to snapshot the haste for 2nd garrote/rupture?
Nope, 1 :(
ah thatβs why
Just went over from outlaw
I've seen some crazy sin numbers so can't wait for more SS gear :>
did they nerf something im doing less dmg
what should weapon enchants be
the problem is that the only SS gear i have is a 340 chest, my 370 head and 355 shoulders dont have it
You cannot
should i use my 340 shoulders to make 3x ss or is 2 ok with 385 (blood rite) sim says 100 dps diff and to keep the x3 ss anyone think otherwise?
M+ does not drop helmets
head is from shrine (only b/c I need to farm it)
wut...
It would be nice if you could farm azerite from m+
m0
I think the world boss helm this week has SS on it
the only way to get azerite powered pieces from M+ is the weekly chest
mb, on mobile
For trinkets, galecallers boon and loaded dice the best ones to go with?
sim it, all at 340iL the general answer is yes
Enjoy it before the nerfs
but can you replicate the sims
How to sim traits? S.S.verses Archive of the titans with reorigin array buff (from uldar only)??
top gear on raidbots
only 12%
I feel you there i need haste
but does it take into account the buff from being in uldar?
is getting 2x SS worth losing 2 ilvls
can only get helm SS on a 300 RN >.< currently wearing a 340
sim it
That big of a difference probably not worth
As long as you have 1 for the extra cp tho
Guys, any other ways to get 340 shoulder with ss besides emissary caches ?
I mean, no lucky at Freehold
freehold
Freehold
freehold
that's the only one
and fetid devourer
fetid is chest
Underrot/Freehold/Shrine for ss traits
oops, marked it wrong on my spreadsheet of items i needed to get
which is annoying, I now have 3 chest pieces with ss and no shoulders/helm
Zul is the shoulder
i had to do the sea scroll quest for a ss helm XD
2 min fight
that 2 minute fight
Well I guess I'll need to run with Razens Fury then
why is it 2 minute fight wtf
Always go 5
SO HAPPY
gz
grats mate, that can likely be your highlight of this expansion!
what they mean is.. you've peaked. it's all downhill
that's cool though. I've done a 7! i don't think it was a realm first though.
I wonder how good 3 DD venom rush os

would troll racial be beneficial to switch to to pop before exsang? kinda like a galecallers lol
@split dirge I mean if you actually read that you could also read it as the other traits getting brought up, so... yay let's all go super doomsday!
In a perfect world its all preference
thats true but i enjoy SS
I hope the new ones they say theyre adding are rotation changers
its interesting more so than other traits
We're not in the same spot sub and outlaw were last week so not sure why there's all the doom and gloom. we're literally top of 1 fight, the only reason we're top overall on the raid is that we're not BAD in any fight
yeah but SS stands out so much above the pack
that itll prob get nerfed down to the level of passive ones
Outlaw, Sub, and BM were number 1-3 on EVERY fight before they nerfed them, so that's why they got nerfed lol
also i rerolled from outlaw last week solely because of the deadshot nerf
which was the main thing that made the rotation enjoyable for me
but now you can snek. that 2 button rotation
just judging off how they treated deadshot being strong doent give me much faith in tuning
seeing as it didnt really change outlaws dps a whole lot, just made the interesting trait middle of the pack and passive ones top
i mean that was 5 paragraphs literally saying nothing but "we need to tune the system"
!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.
no shit, that was obvious 6months ago
it almost is if you never get 5 buffs
its really unfortunate they nerfed deadshot actually made outlaw more fun to play, one of the few azerite traits to do that for a spec
no. snek uses rtb now
Is it literally impossible to beat frost mage + healer, specially druid in 2s?
Stun healer out of bear
Yeah deadshot is still fine lol
That's variety
whats the opener, with SS traits?
"Weβll be fixing the outliers on both ends (probably buffing dozens of weaker traits and nerfing a handful of too-strong ones)." -Ion
heh
@junior aurora then get pollied to unexistence or cc'd by frost?
look out SS, here comes TIDAL SURGE
π€·π»ββοΈ
couldnt they just fix + nerf SS (now that we know its goign to happen) by making the trait add garrote damage any time it is cast, and say +1CP when used from stealth
assuming they were going to eventually fix the bug with it
i could see it still being #1 just not that far ahead
right which is fine
instead they'll probably just do a standard tuning pass
and increase the shitty things by 5-10% while nerfing the fuck out of the best traits
^
total noob question but couldn't find the answer in the guides. Why does the rotation on the guide tell me to garotte, rupture and then garotte again? what is the point in double garotting?
Increased uptime due to pandemic
pandemic of subterfuge garrote
There's a quick and dirty description of pandemic in the pins
Ah right, gotcha
wait does ss not stack?
ty
ohhh thought that was working as intended
so 2x ss should = 5cps per stealthed garrote?
ss is gettin nerfedconfirmed?
just said they were looking at busted traits
right, but they currently are or something?
Also ss is not getting a confirmed nerf yet, it's still all speculation at this point
WW is even more busted, look at that shit first
i tried googling how ss is bugged but there's like 500 different bugs reported lol
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.
from the QA: Weβll be fixing the outliers on both ends (probably buffing dozens of weaker traits and nerfing a handful of too-strong ones).
Basically if you apply an unbuffed garrote, ALL of your garrote lose the ss buff
which means that if there is a trait for a class/spec that is >>>>>>>>>> other traits it will be getting nerfed
!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.
wouldnt your unstealthed garrote overwrite the stealthed one?
It will
OHHH ok got it haha
make sure you let your garrote fades before renew if its the stealthed one
so garrote everything i can while sub'd and then dont garrote again until they fade
i feel less stupid now, ty
You can still apply the garrote through vanish

I dont get it have 12% haste but if i put more haste on it
i get lower sims ..am i doing something wrong ?
Just make sure you don't garrote after your subterfuge buff fades
Cause due the bug you will lose all empowerd garrotes from all targets

super looking forward to triple tidal surge
@regal snow theres mini breakpoints all over the place for haste. At your current gear, adding haste is very strong, but that doesnt necessarily mean substituting haste is good
think assa will still be super strong post SS nerf?
Guess it depends on how bad the bat hits
!stat
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
it's strong without them now lol
actually.. youre right supra, lol
Whats the M+ rotation with CT for trash?
probably
feels bad man
@hybrid harness okay thx
@gentle belfry think most people garrote 3 targets, CT, start rupturing
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation

why do u garrote twice in the opener with shrouded suffocation? just because of the 3 cps?
23 sec of super garrote instead of 18
fan of knives at 3+ targets?
2+ for uptime only. With rupture and garrot on both.
The + always confuses me -.-
on 2 targets, isnt it better to just tab mutilates onto the 2nd target when necessary?
So I put it on 3 eh
When there are a lot of targets and already have a ruptures out. Then you can choose to refresh Ct early for the hit.
Me too. Easy open.
NEEED ROGUE
Not a bulk cleaver too. So you are vital for the 3T packs.
shroud is important now that people cant pylon 8 times per dungeon
U T I L I T Y B O Y S
Shrouding π¦
Hm?
Didn't matter
why not
and crippling FoK is amazing if you dont have a frost mage
Choosing prey for exang prio targets. I probably should. But it doesn't go off unless there is a silence. Right?
yeah, but you can iron wire 3 times out of stealth for caster packs
The silencee is so strong
Tank prob tbh.
The tank loves me
also if your tank gets spooked by say the shaman adds in motherlode
you can vanish silence 3 more times
Out tank is an offspec warrior. I should probably run it.
"Why do you double garrote with Shrouded Suffocation in the opener?
-Because you want to maximise uptime of the buffed garrote, and if you refresh garrote early you add pandemic time making garrote 23.4s long compared to the normal 18 seconds."
and just remove basically all damage from the pack
this is now in the pins
His thunderclap makes me lol.
running with a DH tank
is so fucking nicee
no threat problems
8-10k overall dps
cc, grip
DH tanks don't have grip
Pretty sure DH is gonna be bis in m+
if ou garrote > rupture > garrote aren't you actually making it 24.4 seconds long?
they do qt
Sigil aoe.
GOTEM
Irrelevant distinction.
yeah, that's the point of the joke
BDK healing with bonestorm + grip for sanguine/disjointing uninterruptable casts is strong too. Im thinkin top ranks are gonna be red and purple with a small handful of monks
18 + 0.3*18 = 23.4.
they need to buff both archives and laser
or just do 18*1,3
Laser is pretty strong
kinda underwhelming
but you're getting an extra gcd in there before you extend to 23.4
@lone junco need ur opinion
U mean like all azerite traits?
is the pointless point of my nitpick joke
weapon enchants for sin? nothing in the pins

Anyone else feel this way?
i think i got like 5 daggers from arenas yesterday
it sucks, but it's something i guess
tbh if you need emissaries to give you weapons you're doing it wrong
For any raid boss with either significant downtime, or a prio damage phase, galecallers probably wins
Finally an upgrade.
I dont. I have a 355 and a 350. I would however like to see a spec appropriate weapon lol
How many arenas do you run to get. 375? Holy hell
Pretty suree galeecallers is just overall better for ST
the weekly reward for 1800+ is a 375 baseline
and 1800 is shockingly easy to get if you just run with a last surprise dk

how much you wanna bet triple SS dream is dead within a week or two?
just idiot open on the pull, then blind the other guy as ghouls are about to explode
I think that's backwards, I think most people are imbeciles
@mortal gyro I mean, its better if it dies. Having to pray to rngesus for an azerite piece higher than 340 every week would feel bad
Does feel bad*
Guess I'll try it. I don't like pvp tbh
To get rating you do lol
Obviously
But i thought u wanted weapons
Now i just need 370 galecallers and i can get rid of this fathoms shit
im still using a loa trinket
π€ What other trinket do you have
CANT WAKE UP
370 dice
is boon even still on shrines loottable. just finished 8th today no drop.
tiltiiing
There are affixes this week? π€
double haste weapon enchants worth?
Dont ever stack wep eench
no because they diminish each other
tyrannical not even that bad tbh jjust makes 2nd boss less forgiving
shrine last boss can be cheesed you just kite him away from the adds and tunnel dps
infested slows dungeons down a lot
Why does the best gear have to drop from the shittieeest dungeon
Its not that bad imo
i reemember trying to farm vendetta relic last eexpac
from votw
PUKE
ugh
votw was the worst dungeon
dont remind me
second boss was the most unfun encounter blizz has ever made
@candid phoenix whaddap
"GC 340 vs Dice 365
sims say dice is 75dps higher"
Raid or M+?
@strange python shrine boss is the one with the squid caster adds?
aye
i know
tb or exs for pvp?
using exsanguine on second boss in sots, and they drop the blessing of tempest on themselves, removing all debuffs, makes me reee.
exang on the shrine lady with haste circle.
that + gc. at the same time.
tbh, i wish we would keep her up with chain kicks, and pump on that guy.
oh, honestly didn't know the aura gave haste as well, thought it was just damage reduction, well, now i feel stupid
There is two different ones
The one that gives haste, and the one that removes debuffs+gives dmg reduction
Saw a 365 GCs with socket last night Noobe that my tank friend tried to loot specc for me.
Couldn't trade it RIP
i cant run shrine as assassin 2nd boss makes me lose my mind when it cleanses
run that place in outlaw assass lootspec ez
so far my double trinkets have me at 75% haste with lust.
i messed with the apl to sync them. it is a small loss to fathoms. but I think it will be better in the short burst, and the vuln phases.
Simmed GCs. Was a 2% upgrade for me. Obviously it's value would vary based on the boss.
if sustained uptime was my goal, id just play snake
i really like the Mountain peaks.
I feel an ss nerf coming on
Yeah but if they nerf SS it looks like they are probably going to be buffing everything else which I'm okay with honestly.
As long as there are truly compelling choices
ss nerf or an exsang nerf for this expac haha
are you guys going for 2x SS and 1x Laser Matrix trait? and how many ilvl is SS worth? π
im part of the no uldir azerite items club
legit did a +10 kings rest last night
@calm grail agreed
foxy are you outside kr right now
ye
icu
no im stealthed youll murder me
i hate fast giffs.
relogged twice stillbroken
To maximaze elaborate planning, should I be pooling energy at full cps?
guys shrouded suffocation stacks right ?
Yes
Only damage effect stacks, its like that with every trait

@thin plinth
you just have to relog on your toon that has the achievement
then you should be able to zone back in
if it happens to anyone else
welp there goes my spot on kings rest 10 key π¦
rip m+ score
my group needs to do some higher key pushes π€ https://raider.io/characters/us/kiljaeden/Foxynights
casuals farming 10's
probably
I mean, it was pretty much guaranteed prior to that as well
i dont know how you can read that and expect SS to stay how it is
look at rank 6 mother
this kid has the most donkey traits
and is still pumping
ss isnt that op
just better than others
why cant there be a 'best' trait?
it doesnt matter what you think
there's always a best trait
look at the rest of the list
i mean
obviously
rank 1 with 2
so
23 has a titan and 2 sharpened blades
omegameme
look at any other class
ur gona see the same trait stacking for top end parses
no different
yeah and theyre going ot nerf them
the system is shit not the traits being op themselves per say
