Cleave
Crimson Tempest, if the dot has less than 2 seconds remaining
Garrote, if the target will live long enough
Rupture, if the target will live long enough
Envenom, the priority target
If you have 1+Shrouded Suffocation Garrote 3 targets, or 1 target twice and the other once if there are only 2 targets.

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.
If you are running CT maintain on 2 targets, replace ENV with CT on 3+ targets.
ok, I need to be CTing more then
is it impossible to find a group for +8 or higher in the in game dungeon finder as a rogue or is it just m e
just you
been trying to get into anything 8 and above for an hour and zilch
rogues and mages are the most wanted dps for m+
I don't have issues at all
There’s plenty of people over 960 and 700 it score so if you’re well under those markers maybe that’s why.
it depends on your io score/ilvl
Io score rather
400 io/362ilevel
Might be io score then
is there an article I can read on how io score works?
which is annoying because only way to get it up is do higher keys lol
i'm sitting at 800+ io score atm and it's still a little bit of a pain to find a group
ya trying of course, guild mostly just raids though
Spamming last spot fill pug life is good only when you’re top tier scores
if only raider io took into account raid progression too
Perhaps that would be nice, but for the sake of M+ performance I sure wouldn’t trust it as a stand-alone.
should u be using Fan of knives on 2 target for cp gen?
really? I have barely sub-400 io score and i get invited to +8s no problem
Pretty sure it’s 3+ but check the guide
and that's at 355 ilevel
maybe its just me? lol i dunno, im 362 ilevel 8/8 heroic and around 400 and cant tn for life of me
i just came off a +7 freehold pub, for that matter
not that it went particularly well
Maybe everyone switched to PvP catch-up as many of us are just learning that the only way to improve our chances of getting decent Azeroth shoulders or helm is via PvP weekly cache.
the conquest chest is pretty good
i'm still mad that swapping to sin dropped me by 5 ilevels
same but 4 for me
343 ilvl, just switched to sin from outlaw
why do i feel so energy starved
in pvp mostly?
any obvious things i might be missing?
how much haste do you have
14.65
but i literally feel like
even if i've got my 2 opponents fully dotted up
i'm just constantly on super low energy
unless i continually pool
have taken vigor to try n help
Quick qay to get a 345+ ilvl dagger? I heard some quest or something gives one. Also is deadly nav and quick nav still best for weap enchants?
CT or PB for m+?

is the rotation with exsanguinate and shrouded suffocation on the guide up to date ?
yeah should be
It is.
thx, what fight style do you sim for m+ ^^ ? patchwerk 3bosses?
You feelycraft
i take overwhelming because heed keeps breaking my cc
Replace 1 (of my 3) SS with Laser Matrix or keep the 3 SS.
O _O
O _O
Numbers dont look that different i just wanted some outside opinion
both are 355
not to mention reorigination array eventually
And Idk Xavi, the sim is higher with laser matrix so I'd assume it's working
Should be listed in your buffs somewhere I imagine.
You do want one piece at least with reorigination array buff up
1xLM 2xSS imo
1 LM, not Archive it's pretty poop.
thanks guys I appreciate the input
Hey guys, does it matter which weapon an enchant is on (MH vs OH)? If i have haste and crit, does it matter which dagger has which enchant?
Nope
Put the more expensive one on the dagger you will replace last.
nice, ty - saves me gold for something so silly
got it thanks
just hit that situation where i needed to move my main hand to my offhand because of an upgrade and didnt want to have to re-enchant both weapons
how do you sim for aoe?
Im at the point where mastery is my highest weighted secondary stat https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jNC1b1Ps1FvC15KvntZTt5

YeahButIMeanWhatArePinsEven
How do you properly use exsanguinate in M+?
@safe matrix Thanks then. So dmg stack. ❤
Use it on priority mob with full buffs applied
^^^
Just use it on opener on CD
If 3+ targets, open with three garrotes on three different targets
choose one, put up a 5 pt rupture and exang
Hey guys, any addon that shows when i can safely apply a buffed garrote? I feel im overlaping unbuffed garrote bcuz of my latency
Mizerok's WA group in the pins have tracker for that
Ty
can i use a fist weapon

Is garrote mut rupture best with shrouded or garrote rup garote?
garrote rup garrote typically
because then you get the extra time on the buffed garrote, which hits like a truck

what's the rotation for trash mobs
the ones who won't live too long thru a rupture or garrote
just MT and ENV ad infinitum?
or Fan + CT if there's multiples?
What is the consensus here regarding Vendetta-powered vanish-garrote a bit into our rotation? How long can one hold vendetta to time it with vanish?
SIN BFA GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <-- SIN GUIDE HERE
They're both 2min CDs...
yeah
Wether you hold vendetta or not for vanish depends on how long the boss will live and when your guild lusts
I wait until the subterfuge boosted garrote is dropped
then i vanish and redo the GRG/GGR
with vendetta
You hold vendeta for vanish
but vendetta is already used in the opener, right?
they don't line up very well for me after that
so we're speaking of holding it for a pretty long time
is there a youtube channel with rogue pov videos for every uldir hc/myth boss?
as far as myth progress is atm
Afaik you hold second vendeta and then they always line up
ok, just did a run on the dummy. I'll have to hold second Vendetta for 22 seconds before second Vanish is off CD
so it's worth holding vandetta to line up with vanishes? And what's the rotation like once they line up? Vandetta Vanish GRG ?
Vanish gar venetta is fine
no, just one is fine
If your already have garrote up, you're pandemicing the first one
hey guys, just wanted to ask on a +10 freehold, whats your overall dps as assa? I am around 12-13k is that okay?
gs 359
depends on a lot of things
depends on how people pull
whether or not you timed it
by how much
etc
comp aswell
yeah just want some numbers to go with, i dont know if i can do a lot more dmg or it is okay, it so frustrating haha
like what do you have in m+ just some examples
like, if you go with 15k+ on same gs i know damn son i have to improve
12-13k seems good
but there is a lot of variance so its hard to say
aslong as you time the keys and feel good about yourself 🤷
DPS isn't as important as getting the dungeon done
If you have to kidney, or shadowstep kick, or vanish to silence casters to bring them into the pack- those are dps losses.
I wouldn't worry about the number
okay thanks guys, appreciate it!
any pov of high keys assassination rogues?
Musclebrah plays high key assa and streams
Someone should uodate the ravenholdt rotation guide
assassination is so fun so glad they nerfed su---zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Says to garrote twice without the bleedout talent which makes no sense
i love having to open with 3 mobs with this super fun combo for M+ garrote... tab... garrote.. tab... garrote.... shoot myself in the head
so much skill...zZZZ
Is it that bad?
If you dont like it dont playit
i dont
I just hit 120 deciding what spec to play
go back to sub channel 😛
it has 30 apm
101 seconds of a 5 min boss fight spent waiting
😎 fun
dw guys we are just pooling hEHEHE
As long as my name at the top of the meters.
its more skilled if we call it pooling
Why be cunt about other specs lol
btw that rogue someone linked is trash
someone mentioned a website where you can see where to find all the pieces with ss
can someone link me the website?
thx
Is there an accurate guide for assassin currently.
How do I check pins on my phone.
ill just link u the site
3 little dots top right
what do u wanna know?
why are you such a bitch about other specs? @inland path
I'll read the guide. Don't wanna waste ur time.
That person didn't read the guide properly @proper igloo
Thanks Richard
why am i a bitch for stating facts? i just helped that guy didnt i
stop trying to bait me into arguing pls ty
stating facts =/= stating opinions
but it does have the lowest apm and highest "pooling" time of every spec
who cares
???
boring or fun is subjective
its a fact
Yikes
yeah but why do you need to come and say it to assa channel lmao
now you say who cares
people know the spec they play

go play a high apm and less pooling class
wow
Saying ‘most boring’ is not a fact tho
now ure telling me to reroll
Sounds like you want to anyways
.....
"don't bait me into arguing" sounds to me like it's your only purpose atm
Knock it off.
Took me 5 minutes to decide to quit this server, thanks ballofire
😦
whats the addon called for the paltes, musclebrah is using
Looks like Threat Plates
ty dude ill check them out. mine suck 😦
how would you guys recommend i gear up a fresh 120
Hi just a Quick question IS there a reason for Every players to pick Assa over sub in mm+?
Somebody who has customized his UI a bit more, mind sending me screenshots? Looking for inspiration to redo my UI

does my offhand have to be a dagger for assassin
yes

!trinkets
3 x ss with crimson tempest, opening on ~5-6 mobs from stealth, after applying 3 garrotes, after applying crimson tempest, how many ruptures should I try to get off before envenoming priority target?
cause there are guys with like 360 and 15k
How many SS traits you have?
2
3
why ar eyou using 3?
best ST push, but you can go 2ss 1 laser for raid its strong too
sure laser is good
can I see somewhere what the rotation of raidbots sim would be?
like what the dude casts
the simulation
does anyone know of a trinket sim list?
go down to "action priority list"
ok
the sim is fully buffed and playing 5 minutes perfectly with no downtime
Or hit a dummy till you feel you're doing everything as you should
how do I see my logs I never did that?
its what everyone uses to track stuff in raid, you might have some logs from other people
ok
if not its super easy to get them
they have a guide on how to get started and upload your own, you can even do it on target dummies and stuff
Do I need a certain amount of haste, or SS traits before sin is competitive with sub?
Sin is competitive even without that

sockets have quite a good value atm
galecaller loses value if you cant stay within range
is there a trinket list?
!sims
BfA Simulations:
Herodamage: https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
both sites have lists
ty sir
do you want 3x SS or just 1
2+
Toxic Blade or Exsang?
yes
sp ideally i want 3 shrouded suffocation?
Yo sorry i think i am just dumb where can i find the bis trinket list?
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
thank you sir
For uldir you want 2+
because the uldir traits give a stat buff while in the instance
Mut requires 2 daggers right? If so, yea.
It does.
@severe niche its all relative to GS etc :P, if you had 370 pieces or 385 with SS, they would outweigh the matrix?
I either replied to an old question that was 1st in my chatbox or I'm losing stuff 😮
that was more of a humble brag
Was it deleted or did I really anwser an old question :p
cuz im rank 1
but prob
as the weeks go on
lazer matrix/ archive
gain even more value
in raid that is ofc
no trait will beat 750 secondary stat
8 weeks from now
Does reorigonation array stack?
no
In multiple slots?
ah
Laser / ss / ss is probably BiS then
SS SS SS being BiS for m_
x2 SS x3 overwhelming power better than x3 SS I think
also since you can get the pieces at a decent ilvl
pray for azerite in your mythic cache bois
I have 385 sharpened blades helm
its kinda dope
i like the trait
you can fill globals during movement and get more 5 point finishers using the poisoned knife stacks to squeeze more damage out of the trait than APL probably optimizes for
i mean
Movement would decrease the value of sharpened blades
an apl doesnt account encounter specific scenarios
If youre stuck with the trait, you make the most of it
Yes, less autos reduces the value
What's the generic trait?
😦
Blades is worth more damage than accounted for in sims, imo
Into the scrapper it goes
but is total shit on more then 1 target
not a single fight yet that have only 1 target
Its clearly a single target trait
What is?
well yeah.
sharpeened blades is a fine trait
ye, but SS is clearly a single target trait - this is also insane on cleave
Nobody is saying SB > SS lol
I know, I ment that the sim showing it higher then your 355
accounts only for single target, and there is no such fight atm
The sim doesnt even account for the amount of damage you can get from SB
Pretty sure APL just uses it on Cd at 30 stacks
no its not
it stacks up to 30 stacks
How does the sim mis-use SB?
I use it right as my opening vendetta runs out
^
And then after that, when EP is up, and im at 28-30 stacks
It hits, really hard
or a bit before if i need 5cp
Not bad for killing infested yee
if you guys compose your idea into a well written post maybe put it in #tc-research
ghuun spawns are almost trivial to kill
it could be worth looking into
you one shot it with only 1 trait stack?
you're probably overkiling them by like 3x
Agreed
Doesn't your dagger hit for like 30k?
Has sin pulled ahead of the other specs now?
"overkill"
Sb is a pretty terrible m+ trait
as if switching off and mutilating it
is better
as if it doesnt have to die instantly and a one shot is quick, convnient, and prevents any chance of spread
I am just shuddering of the thought of finding a legit keybind for it 😦
you don't have poison knife bound/
lol what
hjahahah
do u even pvp
how do you pull mobs
I don't, and I have it bound on a bad key is all
why wouldnt you have an ability keybound
tfw i have every possible spell keybound in my spell book and still missing binds that i use to use cuz spellbook pruning
theres like barely any abilities now a days
^
i even dropped 5 and shift 5 because i just dont need those anymore
could be, I still didn't touch sin much so didn't set my UI, only been sub so far
sin does have more buttons than sub/outlaw
at least if you bind ss and backstab together
you can macro a bunch of shit together as sub
they actually take mfd too
I mean jeeze, if people think they have too many abilities now, can you imagine them playing Dragon soul sub

Socketed 370 harlans dice vs Darkmoons?
Dice raidbots is ~150 higher
All the top parses have a darkmoon though
I have 370 galecallers in other slot
Esang?
Yee
I like the stats for the opening burst
where as darkmoon gives that consistent dmg
socket is strong
is sin still worth playing compared to sub if you dont have any garrote traits?
sim it?
yeah its probably about equal
i would think
its easy to get SS trait
get 1k conquest and u have 355 SS
for me sin simmed worse untill I got my third SS
kk
aight, ty
Quick question, do you let elaborate planning run out or try to refresh it at sub 1 sec?
During Exang I try to keep it up 100% uptime
Otherwise I focus on envenom up time and I try to get x2 mutilates inside elaborate planning
If I have high energy, like during lust, I will switch to keeping up eleborate planning
I see, thx
key is to always x2 mutilate inside elaborate planning
so you pool energy
before finishers
on my second vendetta do i hold onto it for 20 secs to line up with my nanish
vanish
or just use it
yes
k
hold it
how long do you wait
Althought I find the timing of the dots lines up for a clean full pandemic (no clipping) exsang if you didnt wait
Its like 10 seconds
so i setup full pandemic i nthat time
ill try that
and then galecallers and exsang
nah i tried it
that timing is bad
it scuffs the exsan + 2nd vendetta timing
maybe i just wasnt smooth enough
woah.. sin sims really strong.. my dagger is 20 ilvls lower then my mace and outlaw is only 500 dps higher with 15ilvls more on shoulders
and I only have 2 x shrouded suffoction
How much haste is galecallers 370?
Hey, how do you guys sim dungeons?
I use patchwerk, 4 bosses, 1 minute atm, dno if it's right
370 galecallers is 1239 Haste
18,23% ~~ yeah
Unfortunately there's no real perfect way to simulate dungeons, you're not going to have every ability for every pull, each pull is completely different, mobs last different amounts of times, etc. Unfortunately you have to observe what other players do, make a few ST/AoE sims, and use your head to think about how it relates to the dungeon.
@strange python i sim 3-400 higher as assasination with 330 daggers than outlaw with 345 weps
speaking of sims, do we know why construct overcharger is so shit?
@warm cove are you using shrouded suffoction? how many?
2 ss traits
same ok ty
Proc rate? actual haste gain? idk man but galecallers is way better according to my sims, even when its 340 and overcharger 370
ye thats why i'm asking, i've got a 370 and i'm just somehow hoping its secretly good
it's not
but it seems that all uldir trinkets are pretty garbage compared to the ones u can get from m+
what i have to do in subt window?
I didnt find that it messes up any timings @strange python
Overcharger is one of the worst trinkets for Sin atm
DMC > ilvl 400 overcharger
Dont ever expect to replace Galecallers, it's OP, just go get a 370 one and fall in love with it
what makes it so bad btw
k
Chance it gets buffed so i wouldnt scrap it
It just doesnt give enough DPS per ilvl lmao
god damn
when u guys do ur opener do u exsanguinate after vendetta or before
exsang is running better than TB?
easy plumage didnt even have to do a King rest to get one 🚓
when will be the alliance world boss up?
So is it worth running one piece of uldir azerite over a ss trait?
Why 2 garote and 2 rupture ? 🤔

Is MAster Poisoiner ever a good option?
is there a difference between g > r > g > v > mut > r > exang and g > r > g > mut > r > v > exang?
U just use u vendetta and rupture after it, pointless
Can your dots crit ?
Can u try using one dot and look at it?
Guess i can
👌
Is there ever a reason to use CT over Env on a single target?
No
I'm finding trash AOE very difficult, specially with CT build
I just can't do good enough dmg :/
How should I use exsanguinate? Always after refreshed garrote and rupture, or just a rupture?
ah ty. so if vanish is ready. Vanish -> Garrote -> Rupture -> Exsan I would assume
Don't you do double garrote if you have SS?
im pretty sure you want 5 cp rupture before exang
hello guys, is there any haste and crit cap?
no @winter plover
so i should pump it as much as i can?
How do you guys handle the situation in m+ when you end up with ~5cps going into a fresh pack? Is it better to 3x garrote or 1x rupture and 2x garrote? I think the latter should be the way to go so you don't waste so much cps?
so many*
Garrote out if stealth >>> Rupture for damage
hi guys what i supposed to do in subterfuge windows?
Spread Garrote mostly
Obviously don't Garrote three times on ST since you'll just waste a cast
in single target i mean
Put a max duration garrote on the target in subterfuge
So if your Garrote is runninng out you garrote twice and Envenom/Rupture inbetween
Do i delay my 2nd Vendetta to be on par with vanish?
Alright, thank you
DS or Vigor ?
Hey guys, was wondering how and when to pool energy as an assassin, i get that beofre add spawn or huge burst window i should pool, but when there is nothing like that, just damaging the boss, why do i want to pool exactly ?
Pool to keep envenom uptime as high as possible
Or EP uptime during burst
During your burst you want to try to have as close to 100% EP uptime as possible while clipping your Envenoms to the end of EP
ty
21hours of shrin update: some fuck just got a 395 galecaller and im gonna hang myself
1400 i think
dayum
which tab shows all class discord
You go through them and see
rules and guides
is it ok to do like 2-3 combo points envenoms just to keep the uptime?

@spiral snow during buffed garrote, yes
what is better heed my call or overwelming power ??
I am having problem with Assasin Energy Regen any sugguestions?
get more haste 😄
k how much should I have?
there's no magic %
mines is 13%
don't throw 16 or 14% out there it's arbritrary
Any idea why this macro isn't working;
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:0/1] Vendetta
/cast [stance:0] Doom's Wake
just sim yourself
18% and haste is still best stat for me
assassin is slow. you just put up bleeds. do your vendetta rotation and wait
so.......
doom's wake doesn't get cast
how much haste is good ?
all the haste
if you dont like the speed, play something else.
more haste
gotcha
However much haste you sim highest with is best haste
gotcha
So i simmed, changed gems/chants to haste(per sim) and haste went up in value... that normal for ass?
yes
Wow that's cool.
Haste values will fluctuate but on single target it's pretty consistently your best stat
Doesn't really drop off
Simming higher with 330/345 daggers than outlawl rocking 355/345 so wanted to try it and it's so much more consistent lol
thats because SS gens cheap cps. and Exang snapshots hasate
when they balance traits, we will probably need to adjust
there is probably a high crit st meta available, that doesnt use SS.
yet haste was still sin's best stat on the prepatch without SS
sounds to me like you're just feelycrafting things
sounds to me like you have your head stuck in stat weights.
rofl
when you have a certain stat distribution, there will only be a certain result.
Is there anyone that can assist me with my toon
great example is anyone in legion with high mastery, would only yield MORE MASTERY.
but once you slid to high crit ep, stuff changed a lot.
Noobe, I really tried using your advice on the Exang rotation in my raid last night. It was so hard for me to pull off, lol

grats
@proven pumice its awkard tbh.
The opener is easy
yeah same
But trying to cycle CDs after? Meh
this is the best log.
short murder
@fast nacelle nice fetid. lol at 1:50

they didnt even get to the midblock vanish
So what is the Rot

zul is actually a long run
looks like tb/exang is split. but ss is god as usual
ok these logs are from another planet
look at zul
g g g rupture vanish g g
heres what happens when we make it past the 220 mark tho
i read a comment somewhere saying if you do 4th garrotes after the 3 subterfuge ones, you lose shroud suffocation on all of your garrottes, can anyone confirm?
if you do the 4th, your tick rate will drop from 15k to 2k on all previous targets.
its dumb. but even if it were fixed, that 4th garrote isnt worth much.
ah cheers
My group has two rogues. I run Exang and he runs TB. He beat me on our pulls last night.
TB is a lot easier to pull off
i always try to get cp so you can vanish garotte rup/env garotte on ST
And on anything that isn't pure burst both specs are pretty comparable
if you want to min-max
I can DM you the logs from last night.
My top 2 mistakes
- garrote vanish fuck...
- drop GC as boss moves away.
just post here if you want someone to look
mythrax is pretty wonky tbh
Actually just 1
Yeah during the pulls I found CDs coming up but the boss would transition soon, or I was so busy trying to figure out where the beam was going I got sidetracked or also I just stink, lmao
You garrote and rupture uptime was less than his. Your ilvl is also lower
Does Exsg. actually sim higher for you on ST or TB does?
Exsg sims higher for me
If you're newer to the spec I would just suggest playing TB to get used to the spec's other mechanics and then once you have those down move on to learning Exsg
but that's just my opinion
Your EP uptime is also lower than his
I struggled a lot trying to figure out how to keep EP up tbh
I never seem to have enough energy
I mean there's a 35 second window where you didn't hit anything at all
Is there nothing to hit on normal for that long?
Can't remember at all tbh
You dont have enough energy because you are letting rupture and garrote fall off
does subterfurge proc ss?
He generated 500 more energy than you
Subterfuge extends stealth, so yes you still are casting SS'd garrotes during subterfuge
@proven pumice
this is a normal log view. looking at the garrotes after vanish. and vanish exang timings. this fight has a lot of phases that suck.
if you have something purely single target, it will be easier to see if your fingers are messing up, or the boss timings got you
tldr, it is a long shitty fight and you didtn nail your 220 alignment
Big things for Assn right now are get your opener and 2m20s CDs lined up properly and dont let your dots fall off.
Alright
Rupture and Garrote + deadly poison = energy to do stuff
so if they fall off you dont have energy
What do you tend to do when there's a boss that can screw up your CD usage?
Also mythrax has p2 where you can multidot and have really high energy generation and it lines up with 2m20s where you can garrote three targets with SS garrotes
On mythrax you just use it as it comes up
It shouldnt screw up your timings
Like if we're on p1 and I could vanish, but he's nearly 66% hp
Do I do it? Or save it
If you cant get a full vendetta off then save it for the big add next phase
Just to make sure I have it right...
So after the opener, when the empowered garrotes fall off, you just vanish and empower your garrotes again. At that point you'll have Vendetta come off CD like 15ish seconds before Vanish so you wait on Vanish, and then you use then together?
@subtle kiln tried swapping them, still never procs trinket
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:0/1] Vendetta
/cast [stance:0] Doom's Wake
anyone else know why this isn't working?
Alright, well at least I have that down
doom's wake never gets cast
Just gotta figure out how to put it into practice
You're holding 3rd exsang for like 15 seconds or so for that 220 lineup right?
Also, you use vanish and treat that like your normal opener right? G R G Vendetta Muti Rupture Exsang
Ohh yeah assuming you have GCs you'd put it in there before Exsanguinate
I forgot to include that.
/use 13 or /use 14
Is not using two trinkets in one macro still a thing?
For your non vanish non vendetta exsang there in the middle (and in general) do you still try to put rupture at pandemic duration and Garrote too? Then pop it?
@proven pumice tbh. As bosses live past 3m it gets wonky. But any delay phases like 1st boss elevator. Let you force alignment at the next vendetta.
And if exsanguinate just came off CD but say rupture is still at like 13 seconds left would you still just overwrite it for max duration? Same for Garrote?
I know that, I'm talking about that middle section without anything being empowered
Or after the third set
The robot answer is to refresh the rupture earlier without delaying the exang.
But my puny brain wants to use boss timings and vuln phases to delay for syncs. I know exang GC alignment is a small loss in sim. But my brain and boss timings isn't that strong.
I don't have Galecallers currently, if I did I'd delay for the synergy and ideal rupture/Garrote circumstances.
When you read the apl. It delays vendetta vanish for that 4th exang. 230 ish.
But assuming exsang is like 3 seconds from coming off cooldown, would you try to get a max duration rupture and garrote at the cost of energy or combo point inefficiency?
If you just hold your 3rd exang you can vendetta vanish closer to 215.
Would the increase damage make up for it you think?
Probs a stupid question, but i see more and more people with the 375+ pvp daggers with either challenger or duelist on it, where is the easiest place to get this?
Warfronts or arena?
Or RBG
Oh, I thought you were supposed to hold your third exsanguinate by default.
Whoops lol
That's what I have been doing.
!wa
Ok. An unempowered exang. Just takes a full duration garrote and finishes it up in 0.5 time so you can replace the remainder with unemplwered. Effectively 1.5x the debuff.

Nothing hugely magic with that. Just refresh the bleeds in pandemic prior to exang.
@calm grail Sim says apl. But. Boss timings help us sync. Like vectis.
Vectis you get fully aligned vanish at 220 420 620.
I understand that, what I'm saying is let's say that the bleeds aren't quite where you want them to be.
The best example I have is exsanguinate is about to come off cooldown like 3 or 4 seconds but rupture still has like 14 seconds left.
Dunno the razor blade answer for. Refresh rupture at 14 sec or not.
Would you just like wait 2 seconds and refresh it to Max duration or just work on planning ahead better
Okay.
I would refresh.
I know this is nitpicky, but I was trying to figure out what was better the other day.
Try to refresh without delay if exang.
Because every second you delay the exang. You are pushing the vendetta vanish off the end of the fight.
And we all should know. That vanish Exang is your 2nd mountain dmg.
do you end up delaying the second exsanguinate a little bit to line up with GC if you have it?
Or am I not thinking of the timings right
I want to delay the second exang to 1min. For alignment.
Sim does that. But stops after 220.
Yeah, I think after the second Vendetta and vanish alignment stuff gets fuzzier
Why would it do it before 220 but stop after 220
But you can read the apl. We are going to see logs way better than sim btw.
There are people doing 23k st. In short fights.
I got about 19.6k on Fetid without really thinking.
And that was without exsanguinate
Logs?
Those are my focus. Staying strong through 3min.
Logs for my Fetid kill?
Yeah
Yeah. The open is absurd. Just don't fuck it up.
I know opener is strong, but 19k consistent is something I've not seen in game yet
When you have GC, since our haste gets snapshotted, do we have to keep standing inside the rune for the duration
19k over 2:25 fight is.
The funny thing about that log is that was my first night going back assassination after playing Outlaw
I'm not super good at log analysis so I don't know what kind of black magic fuckery I pulled off to get that.
I just played the rotation as far as I knew it.
Yeah I'm thinking about swapping back to assa from sub rn. Played assa through antorus / end of ToS
What rotation are you using?
The one on the guide lol.
Also, without kingsbane, are you using exsanguinate or toxic blade?
That parse was TB.
but it was honestly because that was my first night going back assassination and I was worried I would somehow fuck up exsanguinate.
One of my early mistakes is to hammer vanish after a skill. Vanish never goes off and I hit garrote.
Which seems easy to do
Now I have been playing exsanguinate
i wonder if blizzard thinks its fun to be permanently energy starved. might as well go play some shitty classic private server at this point
what is gcd
My friend here @lone junco weathered my barrage of questions and I felt comfortable playing exsanguinate after
Actually using it is less complicated than talking about it I have found out.
noobes cool. He just needs to get something higher than a 340 piece o.o
@lone junco war are you at now?
Was fishing Shrines furiously for the last couple days for GCs. Got a 395 pair of bracers from a 7 last night 
what *
I open running a fucking orb fml
lol
I looted a 380 doom's wake
what's the best way to use it in opener
I assume aftyer initial garrote
Garrote a tentacle then proceed as normal on the dark young.
@calm grail are you forced to stand in the rune for the whole duration for maximum deeps with GC's? Or can you stand in it and use your exang and then do whatever
I don't have GCs yet.
I garrote all the tentacles LUL
Still fishing for it.
Ah
yikes
I think the big take away is to just be in it when you cast your exsanguinate
GC = gale callers?
Yes
Obviously being able to stand it for everything is better
But haste only increase ticks on bleeds
So you can garrotte and repute then step out of you really need
I use TB
Haha, that was all my friend. I'm still in the process of swapping back, I still find sub more fun in fights ATM
Especially g'huun with how many interrupts you can perform
Sub is very nice
anyone got a link to nice sin weakauras that have subterfuge + pandemic support?
my old one from legion are broke
I'm forced to play either sub or sin because my OL weapons suck
Not that I complain lol

ah, ta
Np homie
is exsang better than tb ?
Gotta Sim it.
With more SS traits it's very likely though it is
But to be certain you have to do a talent compare.
ok thx
Even with 2 it sims higher for me.
It is super close anyway
Only by like 50 damage.
But I still think it's better for Mythic plus so I just keep it around anyhow
I have 3 SS and Exsang is 1% better for me
So like 150 dps
Yeah I prefer playing with Exsang
I do think TB is probably easier on progression.
In practice though it could be better with boss vulnerabilities and fight timings not always working like an apl
Ye
There are loads this tier
It's good on fights with prio adds too
Or fights where the only target is an add that will die fast
are there haste breakpoints?
Like Vectis intermission
if yes what are those
Sim
Yo
Self
There are no clear breakpoints from what I've seen
I feel better at higher haste though
@calm grail idk exang burst with G’huun’s short extra damage taken phase is pretty crazy
I start off running and orb and pop back up to top dps during that lol
Haha
Sas
Nadem how much haste you got?
Sad
I'm like 16.5% now
I sim like 40 dps higher with 14.9% gear setup though
Despite being roughly equal ilvl
well if you have like 0 mastery and crit with the 16.5 haste gear
Pins says SS Bug is as of Sept 1........is it still in affect or did they patch/fix it this week?
then have like equal haste mastery crit with 14.9 you will deal more with equal gear
SS still in effect
The bug that is
At least was yesterday when I misclicked garrote a 4th time LOL
just watched an Assassination guide on YouTube and when he was demonstrating AoE.......he garroted 4 targets and you could see his dmg go down to like 4k a tick. But I wanted to make sure before I posted in the reply section
@
Yes he says to Garrote as many targets as possible in the opener, which is typically 4
what?
is tripple SS trait the go to for toxic blade aswell or can/do you play something else there?
he probably wasn't speaking specifically to the SS Trait, just AoE in general
This is why you don't follow YouTube guides
If there wasn’t a bug he would be right 😦
It's BiS for TB too
There's a bug?
!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.
Assassination is one of the most fun rogue specs in bfa so far in my opinion. Easy to learn but hard to master which makes you feel like you can actually imp...
i almost want them to not fix it
near the end
So garrotte 3 targets tops
because when they fix it you know they will nerf it 😛
Yeah
What I want to know is if you vanish and apply 6 Garrotea from stealth does it still bug?
So you can have 6 ss garrotes rolling at the same time with vanish and it won’t bug?
I do it often.
Yes
not many pulls that big
MONSTER dps
SS trait is so crazy
Ggg Ct. vanish ggg r. Vendetta mut mut rupture exang.
my rogue is ilevel 322 with 3x SS and the garrotes alone on 3 targets do 13k dps
G,G,G vanish G,G,G 30 stack HB, take Screenshot of Details before it drops.........
It typ happens when an extra pack adds.
Seli has a plan for HB and scent post ss.
It you gotta have big dick pulls of 10x
Ggg Ct vanish Ggg vendetta r Exsang FoK r FoK r etc
Ye.
You usually don't need a full length rupture on a prio add
Getting a full value Exsang garrote is more important
hmm xsang is 80 dps ahead now for st
yeah but i have galecallers too which i want to line up with it i think so requires a bit more plannin
and just gotta get used to it
To get full potential out of TB you need to think too
it has its downsides but its strong
Macro to Vendetta
