Reae above

umbral comet
#

real cool

quartz rune
#

I just answered that question minutes ago tisp

#

I mean before SS nerf you had to pray harder

umbral comet
#

I got a 385 with SS from my cache on nerf day

#

Feels so good

visual token
#

You canโ€™t farm azurite so itโ€™s always going to be like that

void raft
#

Ah I was confused with your post. Got it now

umbral comet
#

The trait for sub sucks

visual token
#

Itโ€™s still good?

quartz rune
#

Well so?

umbral comet
#

so?

visual token
#

Like SS is still good lol

quartz rune
#

BiS trait for m+ 385

#

Could be worse

umbral comet
#

Was better last week ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

quartz rune
#

And still decent ST trait

#

Well yea

visual token
#

Itโ€™s still bis?

quartz rune
#

But still

hoary totem
#

I'll take one BiS trait for all gameplay thanks

#

hold the nerf

quartz rune
#

I mean if u cant admit garrote was broken before the nerf idk

undone cairn
#

Is there a cap on how much mastery I should be aiming for my m+ setup?

quartz rune
#

Sim yo self

#

But generally no

umbral comet
#

Gonna need to get a azerite piece from m+ 10 weeks in a row to actually be able to use them for raids

void raft
#

Is there a new opener guide for raids ?

quartz rune
#

U want as high crit/mast as possible

hoary totem
#

Were rogues extremely powerful before the nerfs? well yeah.

umbral comet
#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ naisu systemu

void raft
#

Without SS and sub

hoary totem
#

are they meant to be? also yes

undone cairn
#

Alright yeah I'll sim my gear

#

I was just curious in general

quartz rune
#

Are they still extremly powerful

#

Yes

undone cairn
#

I got a 385 twist the knife out of my chest

quartz rune
#

Yeah Otsu idk about that statement

#

Not really true but ok

undone cairn
#

And my 370 aott sims higher

solar summit
#

Maybe with SB if you are lucky enough to get it 385

undone cairn
lament dove
#

f* this, I'm going back to 3xSS and enjoy the playstyle and when someone asks about my dps I'll just point at my itemlevel

hoary totem
#

enjoy the feral lifestyle

umbral comet
#

Its true though @quartz rune My 385 azerite piece sims 100 dps more than my 340 azerite piece (in sub) because it has a worse trait

#

They need to buff some bad traits

#

fast

#

its a fucking 45 ilvl upgrade

undone cairn
#

It is a 385 bits but sub is trash kappa

half mortar
#

I got 3x sb and ss, so I will 3x ss in m+ should I use SB in raid ?

quartz rune
#

Its still an Upgrade lol

umbral comet
#

jesus christ dude

quartz rune
#

I mean not a big one but still

unreal bear
#

didnt they want to change it where ilvl upgrades should always be upgrades? lol

hoary totem
#

it should be a big one though, is his point I believe

umbral comet
#

A 45 ilvl upgrade should give more than 100 dps regardless of the trait

umbral plaza
#

what's sb?

hoary totem
#

sharpened blades

umbral comet
#

sharpened blades

peak rune
#

Hey, is 3x SS still the go to in M+?

umbral plaza
#

thx

umbral comet
#

its gonna get nerfed soon though, so dont bother farming it

hoary totem
#

so they claim

quartz rune
#

Yes Miro

unreal bear
#

it was already nerfed

solar summit
#

What's getting nerved now????

umbral comet
#

Everything that is good is gonna get nerfed. Just expect it so it doesent break ur heart

half mortar
#

Sharpened blades will get nerfed

quartz rune
#

I mean yea ofc it should be a big Upgrade but Azerite is still better than Relics in Legion

unreal bear
#

just save all of your azerite pieces ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

umbral comet
#

Im not so sure if i agree

unreal bear
#

i doubt SB will get nerfed.

wet yew
#

I hate the blade trait, so unintuitive

half mortar
#

It crits pretty high boys

hoary totem
#

SB is engaging gameplay - Blizz probably

half mortar
#

I was critting 121k today

solar summit
#

Lol, maybe we should all go on strike, when population of a class gets low they buff it super hard so it becomes appealing again

wet yew
#

Like shamans ? Kappa

solar summit
#

Exactly

half mortar
#

Blizz will see it and get grumpy and nerf it

glad ferry
#

SB is actually so boring

#

I refused to play it

solar summit
#

I love sb

#

Mega hit

umbral comet
#

They just need to balance the fucking traits. Apparently that is fucking impossible

quartz rune
#

Well with relics you are fucked as soon as a trait gets nerfed ur more or less useless for the time u get new relics at decent ilvl. With azerite u can just go and change traits

glad ferry
#

why

peak rune
#

Crimson Tempst in m+ this week?

quartz rune
#

I mean yeah u could actively farm relics but idl

#

Yes miro

umbral comet
#

You cant fucking target azerite gear above 340 dou

quartz rune
#

Both systems have pros and cons

umbral comet
#

its just a trash system

hoary totem
#

I'm using my highest ilvl pieces right now and its all just RNG bullshit

#

feels terrible

umbral comet
#

They need to make it so m+ drops azerite gear

solar summit
#

The never ending chase to get the carrot, and the carrot isn't that great anyway

umbral comet
#

And when you get the carrot (like my 385 SS chest) it gets nerfed ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

FEELSGOODMAN

quartz rune
#

Otsu why would you have to raid at that point

solar summit
#

Hahahaha

woven dragon
#

I agree Otsu

solar summit
#

Nerf the carrot!

quartz rune
#

They dont want people to just play m+

hoary totem
#

just turn azerite gear into OG glyph system and add glyphs to the loot table

umbral comet
#

No, why the fuck should i HAVE to raid?

lone junco
#

๐Ÿฅ•

willow mulch
#

so the goal is to use a normal opener again correct? (when you equip 3 archive of titans)

hoary totem
#

l0l

woven dragon
#

M+ should have a scaling Azerite reward based on the level of the key

umbral comet
#

high m+ is way harder than current HC raid content anyways

wet yew
#

I actually would dislike to farm azerite gear, they just have to make traits to not be so bad like double dose or smth

umbral comet
#

so why cant we be rewarded with azerite gear aswell?

woven dragon
#

2-4 is like 355 5-8 365 and so on

solar summit
#

The funny thing is that raid gear is so bad, I'm outgearing hc in less than a week

umbral comet
#

Lets force people to raid bois. Or let them pray to god for azerite gear in their cache LUL

quartz rune
#

Nah idk.. i think they should just change so you get 2 items from weekly.. 1 guaranteed Azerite and 1 random

woven dragon
#

The trinkets from this raid are LUL worthy

hoary totem
#

Raiding is still a shit chance at gear anyway

quartz rune
#

Farming from m+ would be too much i think

umbral comet
#

Yeah that would be pretty good Thuly. UNtill you are unlucky and get 9 shoulders in a row

quartz rune
#

It would be the dream yea but

woven dragon
#

Imagine getting a 375 trinket and never being able to use it ๐Ÿค”

#

Imagine being able to enjoy this game ๐Ÿค”

hoary totem
#

Did you see the buff to Frenetic Corpsule?

#

Only to slash the damage to 1/5th of the original

wet yew
#

I had a downgrade in my mythic cache this week, feelsbadman

hoary totem
#

fuck sake

quartz rune
#

Imagine sockets not beeing worth 15+ ilvls

umbral comet
#

A friend of mine got a 395 trinket that sims lower than the 355 darkmoon card ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

woven dragon
#

Imagine having a beta to fix the issues before release ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

umbral comet
#

"balance"

quartz rune
#

I mean there are always fucked up things

hoary totem
#

Fathoms BiS until next expansions

quartz rune
#

You will always find sth to complain

#

Fathoms is meh

visual token
#

I say we go back to only 40 man raids. Then eventually 20 mans.

umbral comet
#

At least fathom cant WF like old arcanocrystal

marble minnow
#

yo so if youre competing in m+ what is the go to rogue spec? i dont know if i should stay assass or switch

woven dragon
#

Okay, thatโ€™s no excuse though. This expansions feels rushed with lackluster content and poor balance decisions

umbral comet
#

No idea how many trinkets i farmed on my lock to never get a titanforged arcano

quartz rune
#

Yea it Kinda feels like Beta for Azeroth but

umbral comet
#

@marble minnow All 3 speccs are viable

woven dragon
#

It feels like I took a long break from legion to come back to WoD 2.0

lunar nebula
#

Guys, anyone knows where I can get a decent WA setup like the one ''infexious gaming'' is running?

quartz rune
#

Its just a non finished expansion which wad released like 2 months to eafly

umbral comet
#

I just pray that they actually buff the underperforming traits so you actually feel like you can use most of them

marble minnow
#

@umbral comet ok but if you were to compete in a tournament and have any gear you need, what spec would u go

umbral comet
#

Sub

#

or assa

oblique gale
#

traits are all shit anyway

twilit owl
#

What azerite Traits are you guys running for PvP? SS and SB isnt that good so im Wondering about DD or Twist the Knife?

quartz rune
#

Assa probably

umbral comet
#

with an incredible group you can pull packs for increase ST sub dps

#

on bosses

oblique gale
#

for 3v3 1 ss 2 sob makes sense

umbral comet
#

Sub also has the best prio burst dps

undone cairn
#

Farm the bad traits and you'll get buffed overtime

umbral comet
#

Assa has incredible 2-3 target cleave with SS

#

and really good burst

twilit owl
#

@oblique gale the 3 CP from one stealth garrote ist realy nice, true

quartz rune
#

Assa is rly good on big pulls too

umbral comet
#

yeah

marble minnow
#

should i still run triple SS for m+?

quartz rune
#

Sub aoe is meh

#

Yes alec

umbral comet
#

Sub has burst aoe

marble minnow
#

interesting

quartz rune
#

It depends on teamcomp

umbral comet
#

assa has sustain

#

both has prio target burst (with hemo)

oblique gale
#

sub has burst only when shadow technique isn't on cd

#

then it goes shit

umbral comet
#

shit?

oblique gale
#

yeah shit compared to other specs it goes shit

umbral comet
#

I was getting 80k evis crits at 350 dude

sand canyon
#

sub aoe is not bad.

oblique gale
#

as aoe

umbral comet
#

on big packs

oblique gale
#

as killing prio among a group it is best

sand canyon
#

sub law sin all viable right now

#

depends on pulls/comp/dungeons

quartz rune
#

Yea sub isnt bad but assa pulls ahead in big pulls

oblique gale
#

you are not getting 80k evisc crits at 350

umbral comet
#

i did ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

quartz rune
#

Rly depends how many targets / prio targets

oblique gale
#

the buff stacks only up to 5

#

so you are not getting 80k crits

umbral comet
#

MAybe not if you dont know how to use dance and symbols

#

lol

oblique gale
#

unless the target is taking ~double damage

#

okay

undone cairn
#

Stack mastery

#

Ez ๐Ÿ‘

oblique gale
#

go to the aoe dummies

#

and show me your 80k crits

#

I will be waiting here

umbral comet
#

Nah, believe whatever you want dude

#

i dont give a flying fuck lmao

oblique gale
#

yeah just like that

gentle belfry
#

Yikes imagine being 350

undone cairn
#

My daggers are 345

#

:(

umbral comet
#

nah, im 365 now, but i specifically remember getting 80k crits on a pack in Siege of boralus back when i was in m0 gear

sand canyon
#

46,4% mastery

#

we flying boys

sand whale
#

needz moar

sand canyon
#

yea lets hit the 50

visual token
#

70% or bust

#

Go big or go home

oblique gale
#

just don't say that in sub channel they will murder you

visual token
#

Lol

sand canyon
umbral comet
#

hmm

sand canyon
#

why are here more subs then sins?

umbral comet
#

Because SS nerf

#

toppkek

sand canyon
#

oh

umbral comet
#

Im forced to stay sin because i got a 385 piece with SS and trash sub trait. feelsbadman

#

I enjoy sin dou, so it alrite

#

I should get SB head so i can go 2x SB 1x SS for raids

undone cairn
#

I'm here cause sub aoe is too hard for me

royal lantern
#

im forced too stay sin

#

does your rl kill your family if you switch specs or something lol?

undone cairn
#

Does yours?

void spoke
#

I had full stacked haste gear and 3xSS, after nerf switched to sub until noticed that I actually still sim better for assas, although with a bit different gear pieces

#

Don't even wanna go to aoe

umbral comet
#

yes tryan

#

its a waste of a 385 item if i switch

#

Because the trait is shit

unique trellis
#

wut iz sb?

dusk sun
#

Sharpened blades

unique trellis
#

uh oki

#

for raids its bis?

#

or wut

undone cairn
#

Poisoned knife dansgame

unique trellis
#

and can u guys share some good macros for sin?

dusk sun
#

would archive of the titans still be viable outside uldir??

vast patio
#

Unlikely.

strange python
#

Im using archive + 2 SS, sims more than 3 SS

slender smelt
#

Guys. Agility or bursting blood for single target?

sharp osprey
#

Hi all can anyone recommend some good weakauras to use?

feral nest
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
sharp osprey
#

ah thanks ill take a look

hollow stone
#

Agility @slender smelt

slender smelt
#

Ty

hollow stone
#

Archive is definitely usable outside of raids

versed slate
#

is Assassination still the better spec? Even after nerf

hollow stone
#

The decay of the stacks is slow enough that you keep it pretty high even in m+. Just dont die ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

versed slate
#

Just hit 120 as an alt, trying to figure out between assin or outlaw

hollow stone
#

Sin, sub, and outlaw are within like 500dps in perfect gear so you do you my homie

proven pumice
#

The decay of the stacks?

#

You don't just instantly lose the Uldir buff upon leaving the instance?

hollow stone
#

Yea. The agi stacks you get from it

#

You dont get array, but archive stacks 12 agi every 5 sec up to 20 stacks

#

Those stacks delay slow enough that you can keep em up pretty well in m+

proven pumice
#

Ah, gotcha

hollow stone
#

I think it's 12 per stack at leat

#

Least*

#

Just make sure to sim it with 0 array stacks

proven pumice
#

So is there a bit of a rhythm you fellers use to hitting mutilate and envenom

#

I've been told not to spam it

#

But there are also periods in combat where you might use 3 cycles of mut>env in a row

devout jolt
#

dont spam incase you get a crit to instant 4 CP's. You dont want to over cap CP's

proven pumice
#

I don't think I've literally ever gotten 4 CP's from mutilate. I figured it was because of energy regen

devout jolt
#

well you should of once unless your crit is waste.

warped ermine
#

Isn't 1 SS and 2 DD useless since you're running MA? Garrote and then mutilate makes me overcap

#

Single target that is

sharp osprey
#

here's a question that i haven't been able to get an answer on say you've just applied a garotte and you then mutilate and get 4 CP's should you envenom or cast a new garotte to take you to 5 CP's or use the 4 CP's (provided garotte is off CD)

devout jolt
#

Envenom

warped ermine
#

Im just a shit player but I only use garrote to go from 4-5 CP if it's around 10 seconds from expiring. Otherwise you're just wasting ticks

devout jolt
#

you finishers at 4 or 5 CP's

#

garroting to get 1 extra cp is a loss]

sharp osprey
#

ah right ill try to get out of doing that then thanks

devout jolt
#

I was like that at the start of legion lul

foggy fern
#

at 4 cp, it's better to just use a finisher rather than waste 1 cb with another mut to get to 5, right?

proven pumice
#

But what if your garrote can be reapplied for pandemic to get you to 5 cp

sharp osprey
#

yes @foggy fern

unreal coyote
#

well env is more of your dmg without ss triats than garrote yeh/

#

so wouldnt it still be better

#

to get the env

mellow cypress
#

Hey boys is there a good video guide for assa that I can watch? Trying to make sense of the spec. Seems really confusing and like people are running 4-5 different builds

sharp osprey
#

yeh lots of builds going around at the moment due to the change to the azarite traits

mellow cypress
#

Ehh the pins have the ravenholdt guide which is outdated af and also no video but thx

fresh bough
#

Yeah lol

warped ermine
#

Infexious is usually pretty good

unreal coyote
#

umm

mellow cypress
#

Ok thx

fresh bough
#

Yeah infexious is normally solid

ripe geyser
#

What opener do you guys use when using MA

spark pike
#

nattle aswell

fresh bough
#

Guess he's updating or testing his own

warped ermine
#

Garrote, Mut, Rupture, Vendetta, TB, Vanish

#

Not sure if thats the best one tho

devout jolt
#

Garrote > multilate > rupture > mut mut tb vanish envenom mut (pray for crit ) envenom

ripe geyser
#

Hmm ye, i found the "No Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blade" on guide

calm marsh
#

hey guys one question... how come that for aoe crit and mastery sim so high... but when i switch my gear i do way fewer dmg than with high haste.. talking about +10/11/12 keys... with crit mastery iยดm at 12-13k, with high haste at 16-18k ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

ripe geyser
#

Feels so calm to play x2 Archive and x1 Laser Matrix in ST

devout jolt
#

is it even worth stacking 3 uldir traits?

gentle belfry
#

In uldir, yes

ripe geyser
#

^

#

I sim about 200 dps higher with 3 uldir traits

devout jolt
#

FS ๐Ÿ˜‚ going to need so many gear sets now

ripe geyser
#

on pure ST atleast

stark dome
#

Switching from outlaw, where do I start? the guide looks outdated

devout jolt
#

start at the guide

gentle belfry
#

It's up to date :0-

stark dome
#

Okay! Thanks

ripe geyser
#

@stark dome Get Ss traits for m+, SB traits if u wanna play the most boring shit for ST, x2 Double Dose x1 SS is ok for ST i guess(?), x3 uldir traits for chill and good outcome in raid

#

:^)

mellow cypress
#

anyone having succsss with double dose? Getting shit numbers even on boss st fights

devout jolt
#

im going 2 x DD 1 x Uldir until i get 3 uldir lul

ripe geyser
#

@mellow cypress only got low ilvl DD so havent tried D:

stark dome
#

I only m+, so SS is better than SB for m+?

shadow pivot
#

Playing 1x DD 1x SS 1x Archive rn, pulled out pretty much the same numbers on heroic yesterday than I was with 3x SS.
1x Archive 2x SS in m+ Seems to be da way too.

devout jolt
#

is there a better uldir trait over the two or is it simself

#

yes @stark dome

ripe geyser
#

@devout jolt Pretty much sim yo self but Archive is better according to Bloodmallet, my LM is doing like 1-3% depending on fight

stark dome
#

Thanks! this is all super new to me, been playing outlaw since start of xpac lol

#

I appreciate all the help

timid grotto
#

@shadow pivot hvae u tried 3x DD or 2xDD yet?

ripe geyser
#

Fotmlaw memes

devout jolt
#

cheers @ripe geyser i have both but used laser last night and it did more healing than damage, will sim when i get home]

ripe geyser
#

@devout jolt ye i dont rlly understand Laser myself xd feels like it goes ham sometimes and just sit in background sometimes

devout jolt
#

I wasnt bottom on the healing meters so I have that going for me

shadow pivot
#

@timid grotto tried only on sims, seems to be weaker

main rain
#

@shadow pivot 2xss 1xarchive seems interesting for m+. Did you do 3xss to compare?

timid grotto
#

hm

shadow pivot
#

i sim higher with1 1x archive 2x ss on cleave/heavy aoe, so i'm sticking with it - but its mostly because 370 ilvl head with archive vs 340 head SS I guess

devout jolt
#

with Archive, does it hit 20 stacks then sit there until combat ends?

ripe geyser
#

Yes perkins

shadow pivot
#

yup. And slowly decay between fights, so as long as you don't wipe, you keep the stacks above 15+ all run long in M+

devout jolt
#

what a well thought out trait blizz ๐Ÿ”ฅ

ripe geyser
#

then it goes down slow, so still pretty good for m+, i got x2 pieces so kinda ~500 agi boost 24/7

vestal abyss
#

What are you confused about

#

nvm

shadow pivot
#

basically archive is an extra flask

versed finch
#

I too am running 1x archive 2x ss, the only piece I could really replace is the 340 head. And I guess then itd have to be LM or DD. But idk if 1 of those is better than having 2 ss

vestal abyss
#

press tab twice

versed finch
#

And try to position yourself so next mob is in front of you

devout jolt
#

still dont have a SS head ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

ripe geyser
#

@devout jolt i consider going sub for m+ tbh xd

tropic furnace
#

Why?

amber briar
#

I press d to tab target

#

Now you know my secrets

devout jolt
#

I cant do Sub, probably because Im a bad player its just not fun

ripe geyser
#

I pref sub when you have bigger pulls aka not bolstering or necrotic

devout jolt
#

yeah, I can see that, go sub for Zul but I enjoy the play style of Sin, applying bleeds and poisons etc. Been Sin since TBC and never looked back

shadow pivot
#

sub is simply stronger in fights where you keep 5+ target alive for a long time

vestal wren
#

its only mythic

ripe geyser
#

@devout jolt Zul on which diff? I feel like sub is only working on Zul Mythic tbh

shadow pivot
#

sin wrecks sub ass in 2-4 target situation

vestal wren
#

and you can play mos instead of tornado as well there

reef swift
#

Can someone tell me in m+, if i have only 2 SS traits, do i only get 2 garrotes out of stealth and then wait till they fall off before i apply the unbuffed garrote?

tropic furnace
#

I'm still smashing it on M+

shadow pivot
#

it's not about difficulty for subs on Zul

#

its about the strat ur group does

#

Sub needs the cruggs not to be killed to perform on zul

devout jolt
#

yeah, its was HC, tried one pull and said fuck this and went back to sin

vestal wren
#

its only on mythic

ripe geyser
#

@shadow pivot ye and cruggs die in seconds on HC

vestal wren
#

sub just pushed the kill time significantly on the fight

shadow pivot
#

we're intentionally not killing them in hc w/ my guild, so i switch to sub on this fight

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.

strange python
#

i fucking despise blizzard for not fixing the SS bug but nerfing it

#

i mean

vestal wren
#

just look at m+ statistics

strange python
#

i suppose its not even a bug at this point

reef swift
#

@main rain ty man

strange python
#

blizzard is just fucking cunts

vestal wren
#

they could just nerf the spec by 5% but they only nerfed 1 trait

devout jolt
#

@reef swift you can still get 3 garrotes done, the dmg wont be as high as 3 ss traits, that is all

vestal wren
#

what means they know why sin was to strong

devout jolt
#

and they nerfed it by fucking 40%

vestal wren
#

if you look at the outlaw nerf blizz seemed to have no clue

#

yes 25% would be fine, 40% is a bit high

reef swift
#

@devout jolt that was the answer i was really looking for, so with 2 SS traits i can still do 3 garrotes while subterfuge?

vestal wren
#

the spec still remains strong

warped ermine
#

blizz probably use noxxic to find out what to nerf ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

devout jolt
#

@reef swift yeah man. stacking the trait only increase the damage on the tic, no the amount. I got you brah

When using CT in mythic + do you guys open with 3x garrote then CT then fok to rupture then fok envenom priority?

we had rogues going in early groups and balance druids staying on boss 24/7

those balance druides where striking 10th in damagemeter

how do you handle dungeons with smallies where classes like mages/dhs wreck them?

the concept of the fight is nice with the campers but works out that 2/3 of the players lose dps and the rest play a patchwork fight with a damage amp if p3 is reached

@vestal wren the designing gets worse in mythic

#

Ideally if u had 3 melee or less for every boss ur good

vestal wren
#

you want to do adds in mythic ๐Ÿ˜›

versed finch
#

Any pro sins out there, tell me your opener with ct in mythic +

mellow pier
#

Only melee u want is 1dh 1war and 1 whatever else

#

For every mythic boss except zul

vestal wren
#

dk for grap probably

mellow pier
#

Fetid u could bring 4 to 5 rogues cause our burst dmg and cloak the debuff

#

Which is huge imo

vestal wren

zul you want sub for aoe->st

mellow pier
#

Ya

ripe comet
#

garrot , garrot , garrot, Ct , FoK , rupture , FoK , rupture , Fok , rupture => FoK / Ct at 4 / 5

But last 2 bosses u only bring melee for their raid buffs

Basically just gear a warlock alt for every fight besides zul

Which is sad imo

raid design was always in favour of ranged

i remember ppl going all ranged on hfc

mellow pier
#

Its worse this tier

warm parcel
#

Its super bad rn

mellow pier
#

Btw if u guys didnt know on fetid rogue can cloak the big debuff off

#

Super op

warm parcel
#

Due to this tiers affix being spreading aoe

versed finch
#

And only rupture 3 targets for energy regen to fok envenom?

vestal wren
#

spread mechanic is soaking 2.0 ๐Ÿ˜›

but soaking favoured rogue, spread does not

mellow pier

Even on easy fights like vectis and zekvoz

More ranged is a huge advantage

@vestal abyss it would,prob be more useful to compare to someone who has same azerite traits as u imo

do you compare it by eye?

Hello, Why is sharpened blades stacking so good ? Is it worth it for aoe/M+ situations ? I got a set with 2 stack of sharpened blades, and wanted to find out if i should hunt for Shrouded suffocation gear ?

Because of relatively high damage. No. Yes.

If you donโ€™t want to sit ghuun go outlaw and run orbs lol

thx man

As he said. On mythic you cant use abilities with the orb

#

Hence the warlock lovin'

warm parcel
#

Locks have other good aspects for the fight in general. Melee also just sucks.

hollow stone
#

Very true. Strong on p1 and p3 im sure. Im not good enough to have real ghuun experience tho ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

Melee is always sucky ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

woeful moth
#

DD or SB? SB feels really gimmicky.

devout moth
#

how worse is Sin now on m+ compared to pre nerf?

hollow stone
#

Both dd and sb are pure st traits

#

Do with that what you will

#

Its still super strong in m+. Just not stupid god tier like it was

devout moth
#

and compared to sub and outlaw?

#

is it even?

hollow stone
#

Pretty even. Ive been beating the sub rogue i run with in overall dmg consistently. Havent played w an outlaw yet

robust axle
#

On how many targets do I use CT as finisher over envenom, when the CT bleed is already up?

woeful moth
#

My sub Simms 1k less than my sin right now and both are evenly geared

devout moth
#

my sub sims 1k over sin with even gear

hollow stone
#

Ive been using ct as my finisher in 6+ or just maintaining bleed if lower than 6 mobs

#

Idk if thats optimized tho

warm parcel
#

Assa still tops the other two on boss burst

#

And ss is still okay

mellow cypress
#

Iโ€™m struggling to make the switch from outlaw. So much to test. Iโ€™m running 9-10 keys as outlaw but can get that practice as assa b/c I have 340 daggers.

#

Gotta field test ss vs blightborne vs SB

hollow stone
#

Oh the weapon struggle. I feel you, bruva

unkempt wing
#

is ss still way better then other traits on m+ ? i switched from 3 to 1 after the nerf and i feel like im doing less ๐Ÿ˜„

unreal coyote
#

40% was still over the top i feel liek 20 would have been a better route

#

especially since helmet dh still sitting pretty

hollow stone
#

Yea. It sucks doing comparable dmg to every other class in m+ now

upper harbor
#

!uldir

viral burrow
unreal coyote
#

im speaking from a raid standpoint

#

i could not give a fuck less about m+

late moat
#

so what are best traits now for sin ? 3x double dose ?

sand canyon
#

can

#

sub get 3x ss?

hollow stone
#

From a raid stand point im a fan of the change. But thats opinion. I understand what youre saying

sand canyon
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

unreal coyote
#

then again the real evil is how irritating it is to target and obtain the traits you want

dense quest
#

just get all the azerite pcs from raid problem solve

#

if the traits isnt BIS they will nerf every other trait so that it will be

mystic urchin
#

are the ravenholdt sin guide openers correct?

sonic spindle
#

Should be, have openers changed?

devout jolt
#

i think people think it changed due to ss nerf

viscid onyx
#

So what to stack now for m+ dungeons ?

prisma crescent
#

opener is just different with ss

devout jolt
#

ss still

#

ss is still dope in m+

wintry compass
#

SS is still the best for M+

viscid onyx
#

Ty guys ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

mystic urchin
#

I was asking because I watched Spookiee from method play sin and he had a completely different opener and no SS

#

but maybe mythics strats

#

so was just wondering no biggie

wintry compass
#

what boss though

sonic spindle
#

Do you recall his opener? Iโ€™m curious

devout jolt
#

i think he has full uldir traits and running tb

viscid onyx
#

I have 2 ss head and shoulders and the hc cheat from uldir, should i use then 2x ss and 1 with the agi stack While in combat or just 3x ss?

wintry compass
#

spookiee is run 1 lazer matrix and 2 archive

inner pulsar
#

If you dont have SS, then you would be using Master Assassin, which would be different than if you were running Subterfuge

devout jolt
#

what for Scaandal? M+ or Raiding

inner pulsar
#

So if you are using MA, you use one of the first two openers

#

Depending on whether you are running Toxic Blade or Exsang

wintry compass
#

exsang loses alot of value when you dont run SS

inner pulsar
#

Right, I would be surprised if you were running Exsang without SS

tropic furnace
#

what about using only 1X SS

ancient stag
#

shrouded suffocation got nerfed right? or is that next week

wintry compass
#

then you just get 2 CPs on opener and vanish for 1 trait essentially

inner pulsar
#

Then you probably still use Subterfuge, but may or may not be using Exsang

#

As always, Sim yo self

mystic urchin
#

@sonic spindle I just asked spookiee on stream

tropic furnace
#

I was doing really nice in m+ with

mystic urchin
#

@sonic spindle he just relinked ravenholdt to me

tropic furnace
#

1x ss 1x dd 1x scent

viscid onyx
#

@devout jolt m+

tropic furnace
#

I get like 5-6 stacks of scent

#

118 agi per stack

wintry compass
#

scent is agi on rupture right?

tropic furnace
#

yeah

#

my fan of knifes

#

hits a lot

wintry compass
#

I really want that trait to be good :<

#

well it is good

ancient stag
#

is the ravenholdt guide updated with ss nerf?

tropic furnace
#

it should be good in m+

#

teeming atm also

devout jolt
#

@viscid onyx trip ss is great but 2xss 1x agi stack is strong too

#

as you should be able to keep high stacks throughout the m+

tropic furnace
#

I've got 1x DD due to the fact I got 385 from chest

viscid onyx
#

Ok ty ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

devout jolt
#

@ancient stag it didnt need to be, ss is still viable

ancient stag
#

oh gotcha

tropic furnace
#

I'm guessing its viable but some other builds should pop now

#

cause its not OP as it used to be

wintry compass
#

I liked SS not just because the burst but the fact it changed opener and added value to vanish

devout jolt
#

yeah for sure, m+ though its still strong to a level

#

st in uldir not so much

sonic spindle
#

I liked the SS opener, it felt smoother to me.

nocturne cradle
#

We all agree on that

devout jolt
#

i liked the speed of the opener

sonic spindle
#

I honestly wish that we have tier sets and SS was the tier bonus. Traits are kind of lame atm

wintry compass
#

yeah i think tier will be back next expac

inner pulsar
#

Traits are essentially tier bonus

wintry compass
#

if not sooner

#

too many traits when they could hardly balance tier sets and trinkets alone

inner pulsar
#

Now I agree with that, I think this didnt go like they wanted

sonic spindle
#

Too many passive traits, maybe if they affected rotations or something like legos did and they werenโ€™t obnoxious to farm it would be cool

dense quest
#

stuff that changes gameplay is too hard to balance for blizzard

devout jolt
#

they need to half the amount of them and rework all of them

dense quest
#

they just need to make it add x stat to x ability for x class

ancient stag
#

icyveins has sharpened blade simming high hmmm

inner pulsar
#

Stop right there

ancient stag
#

HMM

devout jolt
#

ss was a bit op, but 40% was harsh, but they should of then made a poison trait too so both play styles can get used

inner pulsar
#

Don't bother with Icyveins

ancient stag
#

sims are from bloodmallett tho which is a good site

clever coral
#

what other trait should i run with archive for raiding/m+?

sonic spindle
#

I didnโ€™t expect 40% at all. I knew the nerf was coming though

inner pulsar
#

And yes, 3xSB is exceptionally strong in SY

#

*ST

wheat zealot
#

I was expecting more like 25%

devout jolt
#

@clever coral will be different for both

inner pulsar
#

Problem is getting 3xSB on raid quality gear

ancient stag
#

its only good if you have 3 stack?

light tusk
#

and SB is just not fun to play at all

devout jolt
#

@clever coral archive and 2 x ss is good for m+ (ss x 3 is also good)

clever coral
#

@devout jolt how about for raid?

devout jolt
#

2 x archive 1 x matrix but that comes down more to simself

#

shit changes fast

celest drift
#

Archive/matrix/SS looking fine in raid

sonic spindle
#

Does SB indicate when itโ€™s full stacks or do you need a WA for it?

autumn adder
#

At this point should i just take ilvl upgrades over traits?

peak harbor
#

Yeah does anyone have WA for SB ?

clever coral
#

dont have more archive or laser gear, what about the normal traits?

sonic spindle
#

Iโ€™m hoping Blizz would make it light up, but I havenโ€™t used the trait and I have no faith

inner pulsar
ancient stag
#

is ss even worth it with only 1 tho...

clever coral
#

thinking about keeping at least 1 ss for bonus CP

peak harbor
#

@inner pulsar thanks m8

inner pulsar
#

@clever coral

devout jolt
#

@clever coral sim all the options you have tbh

#

changes per persons gear so copying others may not even be best for you

clever coral
#

i sim but got less dmg even tho it recommended other gear with same ilvl

devout jolt
#

just use what the sim tells you

#

or dont

inner pulsar
#

Yeah, resist the urge to feelcraft

sonic spindle
#

When you say got less dmg, you mean ingame?

inner pulsar
#

33 dps is well within margin of error

#

Also, use the nightly build btw

quartz depot
#

try with exsang

devout jolt
#

youre also not using exsang so ss is pointless

lone junco
#

@peak harbor takes exactly 4seconds to make your own SB weak aura. Trigger >=28. Aura SB. Done.

devout jolt
#

better off hand and trickets will help too but thats just gearing/luck

placid elbow
#

What is the nightly build?

clever coral
#

read that exsang is better for ppl with a bit higher gear

devout jolt
#

sim different talents to see whats better for you

lone junco
#

Exang is my top. But I use 1ss

patent tide
#

exsang is better since 360 ilvl no ?

lone junco
#

And gave GC. And high haste.

versed finch
#

Yeah exsang doesnt sim higher for me and I use 2xss?

peak harbor
#

@lone junco never worked with WA before ๐Ÿ˜„

lone junco
#

No.

quartz depot
#

get more haste

devout jolt
#

i use 1 x ss and bleedlyf is real

lone junco
#

@peak harbor New. aura. Trigger. Type in buff and own only. Then stacks >=28. Done.

#

thanks man

inner pulsar
#

@clever coral Ok, but 1.) Not better for you. 2.) Your gear is really low. and 3.) You should probably be using Master Assassin instead of Subterfuge if you arent running SS

sonic spindle
#

I need to resim. I thought subterfuge was the best talent regardless

clever coral
#

MA even tho i got 1 SS ?

devout jolt
#

but you aren't using exsang so ss is pointless for you

clever coral
#

ah

inner pulsar
#

You didn't have 1 SS in the second sim. If you are running even 1 SS then maybe, but sim it out

devout jolt
#

so , MA for TB

hoary umbra
#

Someone knows macros well? Is it possible to display CD on a macro. Like I have a trinket macroed to a spell, but I want to see the spell's CD but not the trinket

inner pulsar
#

put the trinket second

devout jolt
#

^

sonic spindle
#

Do you have a #showtooltip for the spell?

#

Oh thatโ€™s probably easier

inner pulsar
#

That is another option

hoary umbra
#

right now I have
/cast toxic Blade
/use 13
#showtooltip

#

but it doesn't show CD

inner pulsar
#

No

devout jolt
#

#showtooltip goes first

inner pulsar
#

Yeah

hoary umbra
#

Ooh

#

Thanhks, that worked

limber dew
#

so when using SB, do you just use when its at 30 stack?

inner pulsar
#

or #showtooltip Toxic Blade first, then you can have the trinket and cast in any order

devout jolt
#

#showtooltip Toxic Blade
/use Toxic Blade
/use 13

limber dew
#

and then try and time your DPS cds to vanish and use it?

ancient stag
#

bloodmallet says SS is cabbage

sonic spindle
#

I havenโ€™t used it, but you should just use it on CD id imagine.

#

Damn itโ€™s cabbage though?

devout jolt
#

thats for ST

#

in m+ SS is viable

ancient stag
#

i can see it

clever coral
#

does the archive stack disapear if u change trait?

inner pulsar
#

29+ I believe is the number, and yes, use with CDs if possible, but don't hold for more than a few secs

placid elbow
#

Some weird simming lmao

#

Guess i'll go test onthe dummy how DOom's Wake works with MA

devout jolt
#

@clever coral yes, it only buffs you when you have that trait active, it also goes down when not in combat

clever coral
#

so if i change it back to archive after that i have changed to like ss, does itstart at 0 stacks then?

#

shit i mean reorgination array

inner pulsar
#

No it does not then

devout jolt
#

no, it goes. See it as a talent. If you have it selected, you ge the buff, if you change to ss, you dont have the buff

#

its not like a food/flask buff that stay on you once you are no longer eating.

hollow stone
#

Array stacks on you even if you dont have an uldir az piece (you dont get the stacks unless youre wearing one, but you still gain the stacks so when you get one you get the stacks)

#

Hope that makes sense

devout jolt
#

@clever coral are you talking about the agi buff or the arry stack within Uldir raid?

inner pulsar
#

Your stacks of REorg Array are tied to your character. Wearing the piece, changing the trait, none of that changes it. Obviously the trait has to be active to benefit from the buff though

clever coral
#

array stacks in uldir raid

devout jolt
#

my bad then

hollow stone
#

See what i said. Lemme know if that needs clarification lol

placid elbow
#

So if i have Archive and i remove it and put Laser, the stacks stays the same?

inner pulsar
#

@devout jolt Way to go man, way to go

devout jolt
#

^ they are both correct you always have them but only active when a trait is active

inner pulsar
#

Correct

#

@placid elbow

fossil furnace
#

Sorry for the newbie question, but when running subterfuge and suffocation... when in a dungeon should you triple garrote and cap combo points or get 2 garrotes and a 5 CP rupture?

onyx wind
#

always 3x

#

unless there are 2 targets

clever coral
#

okey then i can have 2 SS without losing stacks when i change it back to array, wasent sure if it reseted array stacks

placid elbow
#

@inner pulsar niceee, i was worried that it wouldn't haha.

fossil furnace
#

@onyx wind thanks, I felt like that was right but I wanted confirmation

devout jolt
#

@clever coral you're good doing that but it may get expensive

can anyone explain why im pulling trash dps with sin? im simming 13.2k

It will get expensive :p

Is SB x1 even worth using?

@loud niche Did you read the guide?

timid grotto

does the opener change when using ct ?

hollow stone

Are you using uldir az pieces @loud niche

loud niche
#

the RH one? yes. and i am currently using a chest piece, yes

#

it has archive/ss

hollow stone
#

If you are, array may be the difference. But that seems like a big swing

elfin tiger
#

why is 1x archives 1x laser simming higher than 2x archives? ๐Ÿค”

wary anchor
#

how much haste do i need to play exang?

placid elbow
#

uhhhh

hollow stone
#

Sim auto accounts for array stacks unless you turn them off in sim

inner pulsar
#

@loud niche Ok, can you post a quick sim?

placid elbow
#

If you're simming 13.5K or something and do like 10/11K on the Dummy... i think that's about right

inner pulsar

@wary anchor

your name works so well in those moments

inner pulsar
#

Yeah

devout jolt
#

the hero we don't deserve

wary anchor
#

simming 300 dps lower with exang

inner pulsar
#

Seeing as how I have to type it 13,897 times a day, I figured I would save myself some keystrokes

twin egret
#

did twist the knife get nerfed in pvp?

inner pulsar
#

@wary anchor Then you dont have enough haste

clever mural
#

If i want to sim stat weight for m+, which profile should i choose?

inner pulsar
#

And I know it seems like a dick answer, but their isnt a breakpoint or linear answer

wary anchor
#

so u need like 20%?

inner pulsar
#

No, you need to sim yourself until it says it is better

wary anchor
#

does the sim take into account the reorigination array thing

inner pulsar
#

Haste break point 25%?

No. There is no magic number. There is no break point. There is just what sim tells you to get.

#

From the guide that everyone says they read

inner pulsar
#

@clever mural There isn't really a good way to sim that I'm afraid

loud niche
static shore
#

So our bis traits for raiding is?

fossil furnace
#

Is there any sweetspot for number of CPs to spend on a rupture when AOEing? I understand it depends on how long the mob will live but do you always go for 5 CPs or sometimes like 3ish?

gilded kite
#

@inner pulsar is the idea behind exang becoming better with haste coming from the energy regen or what

visual token
#

Moar ticks

loud niche
#

im simming about .4% higher dps with tb > exang

twin egret
#

i think its mainly bc haste increases the ticks of bleeds

devout jolt
#

@fossil furnace depending on the pack size and how may cp's i get back off of 1 fok is how i do it

visual token
#

More haste more ticks

gilded kite
#

So the haste stacks on the 100% bleed out inceease

visual token
#

Yes

#

Say your haste gives you 4 more ticks (random number) it is then further increases by that talent

gilded kite
#

Ok the way I was understanding it was you did x damage in 20 sec. Or x damage in 10 sec

#

So then 8?

#

By your example?

hollow stone
#

What you just said is correct. The haste is applied to your initial bleed and then the duration between ticks is halved

#

Its x in 20 or x in 10. In that example

visual token
#

Ah I thought exang doubled it. I was incorrect with that.

gilded kite
#

So it just makes your damage hit faster. Over all not more times within the window

strange python
#

does anyone know how to blacklist everything but rupture and garrote above nameplates

hollow stone
#

Right

strange python
#

plsss help

#

been stuck on this hours

visual token
#

Idk I use icehud to track things on my target

slate agate
#

should at least 1x SS be mandatory for m+ ?

delicate needle
#

noob question but if you refresh an SS garrote with a normal one prematurely, do you lose the bonus damage?

hollow stone
#

X remains the same, the duration that you reach x is quicker so it ends up being double dps but only in that window, does that make sense?

gilded kite
#

Ya then you reapply after window

hollow stone
#

I can use numbers to explain, if that would help

gilded kite
#

And therefore more damage in same over all window

white seal
#

Whats the best 3 azerite combo now when SS is nerfed?

hollow stone
#

Yea. More dmg in the 20 se window

solid parrot
#

rip got bracers from warfront lol

gilded kite
#

Got it. Sorry

frosty obsidian
#

@strange python you can use plater nameplates

clever mural
#

well i tried hecticaddcleave and beastlord but sim told me to collect more haste even i have >20%

frosty obsidian
#

Plater nameplates

gilded kite
#

Was just trying to figure its viability over tb

#

Exang prob better in like rbgs

hollow stone
#

Its viable but you have to see which sims higher. After ss nerf most have tb simming higher

gilded kite
#

Ya

hollow stone
#

Exsang is still great for just that, arena, rbg killing healers etc

lone junco
#

Tb still hits hard tho.

strange python
#

isnt exsan better in pvp just for the burst

#

and to go with ss

gilded kite
#

And Tb to preempt envenoms?

hollow stone
#

If you can do 20k dmg in 10 sec instead of 20k in 20 sec, thats more healer pressure

gilded kite
#

Or where does the bulk of the amp go

#

Just general poisons?

hollow stone
#

You want 2+ 4-5cp env in your tb window

gilded kite
#

Ok figured

#

Tyvm for the info :)

hollow stone
#

Tb buff increase all nature dmg including env insta dmg, poison dots, poison bomb and so on

#

(Even nature dmg traits would be increased)

gilded kite
#

Word

sonic spindle
#

Is it worth holding for that window?

lilac lily
#

optimally you should pool some energy before TB comes off cd

#

But seal fate luck also plays a big part

#

if you only get 2cp per mut every time you're screwed

hollow stone
#

In pvp definitely. In pve you want to try to plan ahead. Apply your dots to be over 10sec before using tb and then you ideally want to be at 3cp w full bleeds when you tb into env

hollow pine
#

@hollow stone Its worth to dump +3 in TB window, or only 4's and 5's?

hollow stone
#

But yea

loud niche
#

okay fml

so following the guide trying tb instead of exang

#

im at 8.3k

hollow stone
#

Id only use a 3cp env at the very end if you know you wont get a 3rd 4-5cp env

loud niche
#

simmin 14k

hollow pine
#

Alright

loud niche
#

what am i doing wroooooong

sonic spindle
#

Are you 8.3 in fights or on a dummy?

shell viper
#

Im currently using high ilvl azerite pieces but the traits are horrible. Is it worth using 3x good traits over high ilvl azerite armor?

weary verge
#

Is there a consensus on MA vs Subter post-nerf?

loud niche
#

dummy

hollow stone
#

Sim accounts for full raid buffs: flask, pots, battle shout, maybe array stacks

#

But thats still a big difference

sonic spindle
#

Does the sims match your buffs? Lust, etc

hollow stone
#

It must be a rotato issue

shell viper
#

I was just lookin if it was worth even simming it, appreciate the wonderful feedback ๐Ÿ˜‰

hollow stone
#

In raids, probably not @shell viper ilvl is basically king in a raid environment

loud niche
#

im running another sim no buffs atm

#

i mean, i cant think of anything im doing wrong with the rotation

#

should i save tb instead of use on cd?

shell viper
#

Ahh gotcha. thanks

hollow stone
#

Scroll up river

loud niche
#

guide said on cd

hollow stone
#

I just broke down that exact question

loud niche
#

i see

shell viper
#

Preferably you want to be able to envenom after TB but its honestly more efficient to use on CD and doesnt matter from what I have heard @loud niche

sonic spindle
#

Iโ€™d like to see the new sim too @loud niche

hollow stone
#

The way sin plays, try to constantly think 5+ seconds ahead of your current action. If you arent over capping energy or cps, youre not losing dos

#

Dps

sonic spindle
#

Thereโ€™s we go

delicate needle
#

what are you guys thoughts on going full crit for more consistency, the rank 1 mythic+ sin rogue atm is only running 4% haste

quaint sequoia
#

is he running exsang or TB?

delicate needle
#

ye

#

ex

sonic spindle
#

Crit should be better in aoe situations, so that makes sense

sand canyon
#

ppl understime sub hardcore i love it ๐Ÿ˜„

hollow stone
#

If we're talking PURE aoe, crit and mast are our best stats

#

And you tab ruptures n garrotes for energy regen

sage cipher
#

has assa garoote shet been fixed
?

#

where u garrote 3 targets through subterfuge and if u do 1 normal on another target all of em becomes normal ones

dense quest
#

not fixed

somber moon
#

Omg.. I've been fucking up this whole time then

sage cipher
#

noticed my dps was shet. tought they fixed it..

hollow stone
#

!ss

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

hollow stone
#

At this point, assume it will never be fixed

karmic ingot
#

Its just the SS bonus that gets removed right? Not subterfuge. It wonโ€™t make as big of a difference as youโ€™d think. Especially after the nerf.

hollow stone
#

We've opened multiple bug reports since over a month ago

solar fog
#

What if the garrote bug is actually part of the nerf, so they just decided to leave it on GWskarzzLUL

hollow stone
#

No. Its the subt and ss buff that gets removed

twin egret
#

my dudes

hollow stone
#

Or w/e

twin egret
#

is twist the knife nerfed in pvp

hollow stone
#

Idk. But it feels bad

spice surge
#

Yes ado

hollow stone
#

@twin egret yup

spice surge
#

Its 80% less effective

twin egret
#

what do you suggest I run then in pvp?

spice surge
#

Scent

twin egret
#

is it buffed in pvp

spice surge
#

No

twin egret
#

so why would i run it over archive of the titans

loud niche
#

so im holding about9.5-10.8 now (the large margin there is def due to my errors, i messed up a couple garrotes for tb 2x enven)

hollow stone
#

Im running 1x lm, 1x ss, 1x dd in arena. Seems ok

loud niche
#

yet this says 10.2, so why am i able to hold higher than that for a long period of time?

dense nest
#

does it matter which hand do I keep my enchants in?

hollow stone
#

The sim is a 5 min fight. If you dont hit the dummy for 5 min it will be off

twin egret
#

it just seems archive of the titans seems much more effective than scent of blood

#

or stacking double dose really

warm cove
#

error margin @dense nest

hollow stone
#

It makes a negligible difference if any, @dense nest

dense nest
#

ok thanks guys so its whatever

warm cove
#

yeah sim it 10 times u get different results

hollow stone
#

You can sim the exact same talents with the exact same gear and it can give you different sims

dense nest
#

what trait setup are you guys running?

sage cipher
#

worth going troll?

hollow stone
#

For raid, highest ilvl. For m+, archive, ss, and my 385 helm w a shit trait. For pvp, lm, ss, dd.

#

Not worth going any race in particular. The difference between bis and wis is like 400dps at absolute most. Unless youre a hardcore progression guild, it doesnt matter

valid atlas
#

so now that the shitstorm of SS drama has gone, how does SS stand compared to the other traits for both raids and m+?

hollow pine
#

Its still pretty good for m+

main blaze
#

I'd say they are still preferable for raid as well just because of fight designs

valid atlas
#

honestly anything besides SB I'm fine with playing

hollow stone
#

Still one of the top traits for raid but not the top trait straight up

#

Very good in m+ still but not god tier

misty light
#

Fuck SB

hollow stone
#

If you like sb, go play fdk, emirite??

glass cairn
#

how the fuck do people play with sb?

valid atlas
#

SB is alright with sub though, because of all the multipliers

glass cairn
#

feels way worst than ss

agile quail
#

What's with the sb hate? Also I should be throwing my knife at 29 right?

misty light
#

Yeah it's less terrible in sub

#

But still gimmicky and dumb IMO

hollow stone
#

I mean, getting 150k+ crits does feel good but ๐Ÿคข

valid atlas
#

SB with assa is a press and forget, its dumb and forgettable.

hollow stone
#

Yea. Knife throw at 29 or at the end of vendetta

#

And its pure st

#

Boooooring

agile quail
#

Aren't traits for most classes pretty .eh

carmine sierra
#

What's Laser matrix +10 and laser matrix +5 whats the difference?

wintry canyon
#

how the fck are you guys getting 14-15k simdps, I'm 360 I only get 12k

valid atlas
#

Double Dose and Twist the Knife are atleast attractive on ST and pvp

agile quail
#

We were lucky when ss was good because it positively impacted gameplay

arctic quartz
#

does it make a difference what enchant goes on MH and OH?

valid atlas
#

no

arctic quartz
#

alright cool, thanks

glass cairn
#

@wintry canyon same

tiny vapor
#

SS is still quite good in M+

wintry parcel
#

@arctic quartz I don't believe so, so long as the enchants are your top 2 secondaries

valid atlas
#

just dont go 2x the same enchant

arctic quartz
#

right

#

sounds good

hollow stone
#

@carmine sierra check pins or read what it says on bloodm or raidbots. Theres huge banners explaining it..

daring imp
#

shrine of the storm

valid atlas
#

@wintry canyon optimize your gear, get better traits /trinkets/neck/weapons. I'm 350 and sim 12k

daring imp
#

fuck this dungeon

hollow stone
#

With tb, your 2nd set of ss emp garrs will not line up w your first vendetta

#

But you will wait and line them up for your 2nd vendetta

valid atlas
#

tfw u want to farm Shrine but its god awfull this week

hollow stone
#

Fuck all the dungeons this week. Couldnt even clear a +9 urot yesterday.. the amount if trash before the 2nd boss was fucking ridiculous

valid atlas
#

pull big or go home

hollow stone
#

Yea. You wait for 2nd vend and line it up w vanish and emp garrs. If you get a 3rd vend, your vanish would already be lined up

#

Yea. Gl w pulling that trash big

valid atlas
#

we did on a +8

torn coyote
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
hollow stone
#

Took like 10min of the 30min timer just to clear that room

wintry parcel
#

@hollow stone Sorry, so just to clarify. For SS, we're holding Vanish/Emp Garrote's for Vendetta's, correct?

valid atlas
#

only the diseased lashers are dangerous, those you interrupt. The others u group up and cc

tribal lark
#

what our strata for 15+ adds? fok+CT every 5 cp or try to rapture all that shit?

hollow stone
#

Sort of lol, so first vanish (if running ss and tb) will be out of your first vend window

#

You still want to use it

#

2nd vend you hold until vanish is back up to line them up

valid atlas
#

gl rupturing 15+ adds lmao. If they live long enough, rupture 2 of them. Then spam FoK and CT

hollow stone
#

With exsang its a bit diff, but same idea

wintry parcel
#

Alright, that's what I've been doing. Appreciate it

hollow stone
#

15+ pulls??? Just fok ct fok ct fok ct

valid atlas
#

well I just assumed he meant big pulls. I cant recall when the mob count has gone over 15+ though

hollow stone
#

Yeah lol

tribal lark
#

Zekvoz adds

hollow stone
#

And the lashers are super deadly when you run w a druid healer

#

So are the maggots firing their lasers every which direction

#

And the bats that interrupt casting and 2 shot people on fort weeks

#

I recommend avoiding urot this week :p

valid atlas
#

cc the maggots, snare the bats is what we did

hollow stone
#

Yea. We did too in the end but man it was rough

hard quarry
#

hey guyz!!!! i have a stupid question about the class. i've been playing it for almost a year now and i pretty like it! but cant find what spec to play, sub or assas. i cant see outlaw , dont know, i cant see him as rogue!!! ๐Ÿ˜›

agile quail
#

The affixes this week are miserable

valid atlas
#

It is awfull yeh

#

no week to push high keys

agile quail
#

We cleared 4 10s last night

#

Times none of them

hollow stone
#

Next week should be a good on. Fort sanguine, and something

#

I think volcanic

valid atlas
#

@hard quarry sounds like a personal preference which we couldnt give an anwser too. Play what you like or decide what you dont like. I'd advise to play the class, not the spec

hollow stone
#

Yeah dude. We did 2 9s, urot and td. Didnt make timer on either but were making 10s last week w less gear and a diff healer..??

open elbow
#

Hey guys, I know it been talked all day, but what is the best combo traits for Uldir ? Archive + SS +SB ?

hollow stone
#

Item level

#

In an ideal world, probably triple archive lol

open elbow
#

For pure DPS ?

hollow stone
#

Ye

open elbow
#

And at least one SS ?

hollow stone
#

Nope. Ilvl

open elbow
#

Yeah but

valid atlas
#

is it even possible to get triple archive slootHmm

open elbow
#

Between same ilvl

hollow stone
#

Idk lol

#

Between same ilvl, sim it

#

Based on bloodm, 1x archive, and then dd or sb. If all are equal ilvl

valid atlas
#

anything with adds I'd go atleast 1 SS

hollow stone
#

But high ilvl > traits atm

#

In uldir st only

open elbow
#

Ok, thanks for you help

valid atlas
#

DD preforms better than SS on ST with TB

hollow stone
#

Like, my 385 helm using tradewinds is better than my 340 using a much better trait

valid atlas
#

so in otherwords, sim it. Both talents and traits

hollow stone
#

As a real example

rancid bobcat
hollow stone
#

If anywhere does, its probably wago

open elbow

SB = Sharpened or Scent ? x)
