real cool
I just answered that question minutes ago tisp
I mean before SS nerf you had to pray harder
You canโt farm azurite so itโs always going to be like that
Ah I was confused with your post. Got it now
The trait for sub sucks
Itโs still good?
Well so?
so?
Like SS is still good lol
Was better last week ๐
Itโs still bis?
But still
I mean if u cant admit garrote was broken before the nerf idk
Is there a cap on how much mastery I should be aiming for my m+ setup?
Gonna need to get a azerite piece from m+ 10 weeks in a row to actually be able to use them for raids
Is there a new opener guide for raids ?
U want as high crit/mast as possible
Were rogues extremely powerful before the nerfs? well yeah.
๐ naisu systemu
Without SS and sub
are they meant to be? also yes
I got a 385 twist the knife out of my chest
And my 370 aott sims higher
Maybe with SB if you are lucky enough to get it 385

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
enjoy the feral lifestyle
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
It is a 385 bits but sub is trash kappa
I got 3x sb and ss, so I will 3x ss in m+ should I use SB in raid ?
Its still an Upgrade lol
jesus christ dude
I mean not a big one but still
didnt they want to change it where ilvl upgrades should always be upgrades? lol
it should be a big one though, is his point I believe
A 45 ilvl upgrade should give more than 100 dps regardless of the trait
what's sb?
sharpened blades
sharpened blades
Hey, is 3x SS still the go to in M+?
thx
its gonna get nerfed soon though, so dont bother farming it
so they claim
Yes Miro
it was already nerfed
What's getting nerved now????
Everything that is good is gonna get nerfed. Just expect it so it doesent break ur heart
Sharpened blades will get nerfed
I mean yea ofc it should be a big Upgrade but Azerite is still better than Relics in Legion
just save all of your azerite pieces ๐
Im not so sure if i agree
i doubt SB will get nerfed.
I hate the blade trait, so unintuitive
It crits pretty high boys
SB is engaging gameplay - Blizz probably
I was critting 121k today
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
Like shamans ? Kappa
Exactly
Blizz will see it and get grumpy and nerf it
They just need to balance the fucking traits. Apparently that is fucking impossible
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
why
Crimson Tempst in m+ this week?
You cant fucking target azerite gear above 340 dou
Both systems have pros and cons
its just a trash system
I'm using my highest ilvl pieces right now and its all just RNG bullshit
feels terrible
They need to make it so m+ drops azerite gear
The never ending chase to get the carrot, and the carrot isn't that great anyway
And when you get the carrot (like my 385 SS chest) it gets nerfed ๐
FEELSGOODMAN
Otsu why would you have to raid at that point
Hahahaha
I agree Otsu
Nerf the carrot!
They dont want people to just play m+
just turn azerite gear into OG glyph system and add glyphs to the loot table
No, why the fuck should i HAVE to raid?
๐ฅ
so the goal is to use a normal opener again correct? (when you equip 3 archive of titans)
l0l
M+ should have a scaling Azerite reward based on the level of the key
high m+ is way harder than current HC raid content anyways
I actually would dislike to farm azerite gear, they just have to make traits to not be so bad like double dose or smth
so why cant we be rewarded with azerite gear aswell?
2-4 is like 355 5-8 365 and so on
The funny thing is that raid gear is so bad, I'm outgearing hc in less than a week
Lets force people to raid bois. Or let them pray to god for azerite gear in their cache LUL
Nah idk.. i think they should just change so you get 2 items from weekly.. 1 guaranteed Azerite and 1 random
The trinkets from this raid are LUL worthy
Raiding is still a shit chance at gear anyway
Farming from m+ would be too much i think
Yeah that would be pretty good Thuly. UNtill you are unlucky and get 9 shoulders in a row
It would be the dream yea but
Imagine getting a 375 trinket and never being able to use it ๐ค
Imagine being able to enjoy this game ๐ค
Did you see the buff to Frenetic Corpsule?
Only to slash the damage to 1/5th of the original
I had a downgrade in my mythic cache this week, feelsbadman
fuck sake
Imagine sockets not beeing worth 15+ ilvls
A friend of mine got a 395 trinket that sims lower than the 355 darkmoon card ๐
Imagine having a beta to fix the issues before release ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
"balance"
I mean there are always fucked up things
Fathoms BiS until next expansions
I say we go back to only 40 man raids. Then eventually 20 mans.
At least fathom cant WF like old arcanocrystal
yo so if youre competing in m+ what is the go to rogue spec? i dont know if i should stay assass or switch
Okay, thatโs no excuse though. This expansions feels rushed with lackluster content and poor balance decisions
No idea how many trinkets i farmed on my lock to never get a titanforged arcano
Yea it Kinda feels like Beta for Azeroth but
@marble minnow All 3 speccs are viable
It feels like I took a long break from legion to come back to WoD 2.0
Guys, anyone knows where I can get a decent WA setup like the one ''infexious gaming'' is running?
Its just a non finished expansion which wad released like 2 months to eafly
I just pray that they actually buff the underperforming traits so you actually feel like you can use most of them
@umbral comet ok but if you were to compete in a tournament and have any gear you need, what spec would u go
traits are all shit anyway
What azerite Traits are you guys running for PvP? SS and SB isnt that good so im Wondering about DD or Twist the Knife?
Assa probably
for 3v3 1 ss 2 sob makes sense
Sub also has the best prio burst dps
Farm the bad traits and you'll get buffed overtime
@oblique gale the 3 CP from one stealth garrote ist realy nice, true
Assa is rly good on big pulls too
yeah
should i still run triple SS for m+?
Sub has burst aoe
interesting
It depends on teamcomp
shit?
yeah shit compared to other specs it goes shit
I was getting 80k evis crits at 350 dude
sub aoe is not bad.
as aoe
on big packs
as killing prio among a group it is best
Yea sub isnt bad but assa pulls ahead in big pulls
you are not getting 80k evisc crits at 350
i did ๐
Rly depends how many targets / prio targets
yeah just like that
Yikes imagine being 350
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
needz moar
yea lets hit the 50
just don't say that in sub channel they will murder you
Lol

hmm
why are here more subs then sins?
oh
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
I'm here cause sub aoe is too hard for me
im forced too stay sin
does your rl kill your family if you switch specs or something lol?
Does yours?
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
wut iz sb?
Sharpened blades
Poisoned knife dansgame
and can u guys share some good macros for sin?
would archive of the titans still be viable outside uldir??
Unlikely.
Im using archive + 2 SS, sims more than 3 SS
Guys. Agility or bursting blood for single target?
Hi all can anyone recommend some good weakauras to use?

ah thanks ill take a look
Agility @slender smelt
Ty
Archive is definitely usable outside of raids
is Assassination still the better spec? Even after nerf
The decay of the stacks is slow enough that you keep it pretty high even in m+. Just dont die ๐
Just hit 120 as an alt, trying to figure out between assin or outlaw
Sin, sub, and outlaw are within like 500dps in perfect gear so you do you my homie
The decay of the stacks?
You don't just instantly lose the Uldir buff upon leaving the instance?
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+
Ah, gotcha
I think it's 12 per stack at leat
Least*
Just make sure to sim it with 0 array stacks
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
dont spam incase you get a crit to instant 4 CP's. You dont want to over cap CP's
I don't think I've literally ever gotten 4 CP's from mutilate. I figured it was because of energy regen
well you should of once unless your crit is waste.
Isn't 1 SS and 2 DD useless since you're running MA? Garrote and then mutilate makes me overcap
Single target that is
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)
Envenom
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
ah right ill try to get out of doing that then thanks
I was like that at the start of legion lul
at 4 cp, it's better to just use a finisher rather than waste 1 cb with another mut to get to 5, right?
But what if your garrote can be reapplied for pandemic to get you to 5 cp
yes @foggy fern
well env is more of your dmg without ss triats than garrote yeh/
so wouldnt it still be better
to get the env
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
yeh lots of builds going around at the moment due to the change to the azarite traits
Ehh the pins have the ravenholdt guide which is outdated af and also no video but thx
Yeah lol
Infexious is usually pretty good
umm
Ok thx
Yeah infexious is normally solid
What opener do you guys use when using MA
nattle aswell
Guess he's updating or testing his own
Garrote > multilate > rupture > mut mut tb vanish envenom mut (pray for crit ) envenom
Hmm ye, i found the "No Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blade" on guide
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 ๐ฎ
Feels so calm to play x2 Archive and x1 Laser Matrix in ST
is it even worth stacking 3 uldir traits?
In uldir, yes
FS ๐ going to need so many gear sets now
on pure ST atleast
Switching from outlaw, where do I start? the guide looks outdated
start at the guide
It's up to date :0-
Okay! Thanks
@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
:^)
anyone having succsss with double dose? Getting shit numbers even on boss st fights
im going 2 x DD 1 x Uldir until i get 3 uldir lul
@mellow cypress only got low ilvl DD so havent tried D:
I only m+, so SS is better than SB for m+?
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 Pretty much sim yo self but Archive is better according to Bloodmallet, my LM is doing like 1-3% depending on fight
Thanks! this is all super new to me, been playing outlaw since start of xpac lol
I appreciate all the help
@shadow pivot hvae u tried 3x DD or 2xDD yet?
Fotmlaw 
cheers @ripe geyser i have both but used laser last night and it did more healing than damage, will sim when i get home]
@devout jolt ye i dont rlly understand Laser myself xd feels like it goes ham sometimes and just sit in background sometimes
I wasnt bottom on the healing meters so I have that going for me
@timid grotto tried only on sims, seems to be weaker
@shadow pivot 2xss 1xarchive seems interesting for m+. Did you do 3xss to compare?
hm
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
with Archive, does it hit 20 stacks then sit there until combat ends?
Yes perkins
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+
what a well thought out trait blizz ๐ฅ
then it goes down slow, so still pretty good for m+, i got x2 pieces so kinda ~500 agi boost 24/7
basically archive is an extra flask
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
press tab twice
And try to position yourself so next mob is in front of you
still dont have a SS head ๐ฆ
@devout jolt i consider going sub for m+ tbh xd
Why?
I cant do Sub, probably because Im a bad player its just not fun
I pref sub when you have bigger pulls aka not bolstering or necrotic
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
sub is simply stronger in fights where you keep 5+ target alive for a long time
its only mythic
@devout jolt Zul on which diff? I feel like sub is only working on Zul Mythic tbh
sin wrecks sub ass in 2-4 target situation
and you can play mos instead of tornado as well there
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?
I'm still smashing it on M+
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
yeah, its was HC, tried one pull and said fuck this and went back to sin
its only on mythic
@shadow pivot ye and cruggs die in seconds on HC
sub just pushed the kill time significantly on the fight
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.
just look at m+ statistics
i suppose its not even a bug at this point
@main rain ty man
blizzard is just fucking cunts
they could just nerf the spec by 5% but they only nerfed 1 trait
@reef swift you can still get 3 garrotes done, the dmg wont be as high as 3 ss traits, that is all
what means they know why sin was to strong
and they nerfed it by fucking 40%
if you look at the outlaw nerf blizz seemed to have no clue
yes 25% would be fine, 40% is a bit high
@devout jolt that was the answer i was really looking for, so with 2 SS traits i can still do 3 garrotes while subterfuge?
the spec still remains strong
blizz probably use noxxic to find out what to nerf ๐
@reef swift yeah man. stacking the trait only increase the damage on the tic, no the amount. I got you brah
heroic statistics from last day so with assassination beeing dead
hahaha
You can do it on 1SS
if not top, ded
heroic :^)
+1 Perkins
well ๐คท
well shit, probably a lot care tbh
Heroic lol
mainly the demo locks
Wonder how the Shaman demographic will change throughout bfa
we'll see when 8.1 hits
a lot of wcl statistics are quite screwed
[11:46 AM] Perkins: if not top, ded +1 lul
e.g. mother logs often just mean you are in a late group and makes rogue look better
check fight by fight
or your RL doesnt care and let you go through in p1
When using CT in mythic + do you guys open with 3x garrote then CT then fok to rupture then fok envenom priority?
grp1*
and just looking at mother, dh is #1 there while offering a lot more then rogue (but dh's burst aoe just plays very well to the adds)
my RL put me in an early group, let me go in to the 3rd room then lusted and killed her in the second room
its hc
๐คท
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
let dh's and mages do their job and bleed the big ones
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
@vestal wren the designing gets worse in mythic
Ideally if u had 3 melee or less for every boss ur good
you want to do adds in mythic ๐
Any pro sins out there, tell me your opener with ct in mythic +
dk for grap probably
Fetid u could bring 4 to 5 rogues cause our burst dmg and cloak the debuff
Which is huge imo
zul you want sub for aoe->st
Ya
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

Warrior/DH raid buffs op
Its worse this tier
Its super bad rn
Due to this tiers affix being spreading aoe
And only rupture 3 targets for energy regen to fok envenom?
Mhm
Basically ur raid grouo should be 3 to 4 warlocks 3 to4 arcane mages and 2 boomkins
And ur good
Bm
Oh ya
With one or two melee for funsies.
!azurite
Throw them in there when arcane isnt good
Sometimes destro
And ur good to go
is ep always better than mp?
most of the times
!azerite
Do my azerite traits stack?
The damage part of azerite Stacks.
Other components can be assumed to stack however with some exceptions and limitations.
You can check https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/azerite-stacks/1t-t22-assassination for estimations.
@warm parcel u still in memento?
How do I compare my Warcraftlog ability timeline to one of someone else (a top parse)?
@vestal abyss it would,prob be more useful to compare to someone who has same azerite traits as u imo
okay well how do i do that?
Event, casts is what i use
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 donโt want to sit ghuun go outlaw and run orbs lol
Do you delay exsang for galecallers?
No
thx man
Locks have other good aspects for the fight in general. Melee also just sucks.
Very true. Strong on p1 and p3 im sure. Im not good enough to have real ghuun experience tho ๐
Melee is always sucky ๐ฉ
DD or SB? SB feels really gimmicky.
how worse is Sin now on m+ compared to pre nerf?
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
Pretty even. Ive been beating the sub rogue i run with in overall dmg consistently. Havent played w an outlaw yet
On how many targets do I use CT as finisher over envenom, when the CT bleed is already up?
My sub Simms 1k less than my sin right now and both are evenly geared
my sub sims 1k over sin with even gear
Ive been using ct as my finisher in 6+ or just maintaining bleed if lower than 6 mobs
Idk if thats optimized tho
Iโm struggling to make the switch from outlaw. So much to test. Iโm 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
Oh the weapon struggle. I feel you, bruva
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 ๐
40% was still over the top i feel liek 20 would have been a better route
especially since helmet dh still sitting pretty
Yea. It sucks doing comparable dmg to every other class in m+ now
!uldir
Hey guys, https://bloodmallet.com/index.html#rogue_assassination?data_view=azerite_traits&type=head I got the engineering head, and it sims quite low on ST, it says ilvl 355. Does anyone know whether or not i'm better off farming for the motherlode head or keep it as is?
Simulation data for everyone. Overview of DPS relevant simulation data for World of Warcraft.
so what are best traits now for sin ? 3x double dose ?
From a raid stand point im a fan of the change. But thats opinion. I understand what youre saying
๐ฆ
then again the real evil is how irritating it is to target and obtain the traits you want
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
are the ravenholdt sin guide openers correct?
Should be, have openers changed?
i think people think it changed due to ss nerf
So what to stack now for m+ dungeons ?
opener is just different with ss
SS is still the best for M+
Ty guys ๐
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
what boss though
Do you recall his opener? Iโm curious
i think he has full uldir traits and running tb
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?
spookiee is run 1 lazer matrix and 2 archive
If you dont have SS, then you would be using Master Assassin, which would be different than if you were running Subterfuge
what for Scaandal? M+ or Raiding
So if you are using MA, you use one of the first two openers
Depending on whether you are running Toxic Blade or Exsang
exsang loses alot of value when you dont run SS
Right, I would be surprised if you were running Exsang without SS
what about using only 1X SS
shrouded suffocation got nerfed right? or is that next week
then you just get 2 CPs on opener and vanish for 1 trait essentially
Then you probably still use Subterfuge, but may or may not be using Exsang
As always, Sim yo self
@sonic spindle I just asked spookiee on stream
I was doing really nice in m+ with
@sonic spindle he just relinked ravenholdt to me
1x ss 1x dd 1x scent
@devout jolt m+
scent is agi on rupture right?
is the ravenholdt guide updated with ss nerf?
@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+
I've got 1x DD due to the fact I got 385 from chest
Ok ty ๐
@ancient stag it didnt need to be, ss is still viable
oh gotcha
I'm guessing its viable but some other builds should pop now
cause its not OP as it used to be
I liked SS not just because the burst but the fact it changed opener and added value to vanish

I liked the SS opener, it felt smoother to me.
We all agree on that
i liked the speed of the opener
I honestly wish that we have tier sets and SS was the tier bonus. Traits are kind of lame atm
yeah i think tier will be back next expac
Traits are essentially tier bonus
if not sooner
too many traits when they could hardly balance tier sets and trinkets alone
Now I agree with that, I think this didnt go like they wanted
Too many passive traits, maybe if they affected rotations or something like legos did and they werenโt obnoxious to farm it would be cool
stuff that changes gameplay is too hard to balance for blizzard
they need to half the amount of them and rework all of them
they just need to make it add x stat to x ability for x class
icyveins has sharpened blade simming high hmmm
Stop right there
HMM
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
Don't bother with Icyveins
sims are from bloodmallett tho which is a good site
what other trait should i run with archive for raiding/m+?
I didnโt expect 40% at all. I knew the nerf was coming though
I was expecting more like 25%
@clever coral will be different for both
Problem is getting 3xSB on raid quality gear
its only good if you have 3 stack?
and SB is just not fun to play at all
@clever coral archive and 2 x ss is good for m+ (ss x 3 is also good)
@devout jolt how about for raid?
Archive/matrix/SS looking fine in raid
Does SB indicate when itโs full stacks or do you need a WA for it?
At this point should i just take ilvl upgrades over traits?
Yeah does anyone have WA for SB ?
dont have more archive or laser gear, what about the normal traits?
Iโm hoping Blizz would make it light up, but I havenโt used the trait and I have no faith
Sharpened Blades: https://wago.io/r14XptS_7
is ss even worth it with only 1 tho...
thinking about keeping at least 1 ss for bonus CP
@inner pulsar thanks m8
@clever coral
@clever coral sim all the options you have tbh
changes per persons gear so copying others may not even be best for you
i sim but got less dmg even tho it recommended other gear with same ilvl
Yeah, resist the urge to feelcraft
When you say got less dmg, you mean ingame?
try with exsang
youre also not using exsang so ss is pointless
@peak harbor takes exactly 4seconds to make your own SB weak aura. Trigger >=28. Aura SB. Done.
better off hand and trickets will help too but thats just gearing/luck
What is the nightly build?
read that exsang is better for ppl with a bit higher gear
sim different talents to see whats better for you
Exang is my top. But I use 1ss
exsang is better since 360 ilvl no ?
And gave GC. And high haste.
Yeah exsang doesnt sim higher for me and I use 2xss?
@lone junco never worked with WA before ๐
No.
get more haste
i use 1 x ss and bleedlyf is real
@peak harbor New. aura. Trigger. Type in buff and own only. Then stacks >=28. Done.

thanks man
@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
I need to resim. I thought subterfuge was the best talent regardless
MA even tho i got 1 SS ?
but you aren't using exsang so ss is pointless for you
ah
You didn't have 1 SS in the second sim. If you are running even 1 SS then maybe, but sim it out
so , MA for TB
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
put the trinket second
^
That is another option
No
#showtooltip goes first
Yeah
so when using SB, do you just use when its at 30 stack?
or #showtooltip Toxic Blade first, then you can have the trinket and cast in any order
#showtooltip Toxic Blade
/use Toxic Blade
/use 13
and then try and time your DPS cds to vanish and use it?
bloodmallet says SS is cabbage
I havenโt used it, but you should just use it on CD id imagine.
Damn itโs cabbage though?
i can see it
does the archive stack disapear if u change trait?
29+ I believe is the number, and yes, use with CDs if possible, but don't hold for more than a few secs
Some weird simming lmao
Guess i'll go test onthe dummy how DOom's Wake works with MA
@clever coral yes, it only buffs you when you have that trait active, it also goes down when not in combat
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
No it does not then
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.
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
@clever coral are you talking about the agi buff or the arry stack within Uldir raid?
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
array stacks in uldir raid
See what i said. Lemme know if that needs clarification lol
So if i have Archive and i remove it and put Laser, the stacks stays the same?
@devout jolt Way to go man, way to go
^ they are both correct you always have them but only active when a trait is active
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?
okey then i can have 2 SS without losing stacks when i change it back to array, wasent sure if it reseted array stacks
@inner pulsar niceee, i was worried that it wouldn't haha.
@onyx wind thanks, I felt like that was right but I wanted confirmation
@clever coral you're good doing that but it may get expensive
๐
can anyone explain why im pulling trash dps with sin? im simming 13.2k
It will get expensive :p
but when i try to run a dummy im at lik 9-10k
will being the correct word
Is SB x1 even worth using?
@loud niche Did you read the guide?
does the opener change when using ct ?
Are you using uldir az pieces @loud niche
If you are, array may be the difference. But that seems like a big swing
why is 1x archives 1x laser simming higher than 2x archives? ๐ค
how much haste do i need to play exang?
uhhhh
Sim auto accounts for array stacks unless you turn them off in sim
@loud niche Ok, can you post a quick sim?
If you're simming 13.5K or something and do like 10/11K on the Dummy... i think that's about right
@wary anchor
your name works so well in those moments
Yeah
the hero we don't deserve
simming 300 dps lower with exang
Seeing as how I have to type it 13,897 times a day, I figured I would save myself some keystrokes
did twist the knife get nerfed in pvp?
@wary anchor Then you dont have enough haste
If i want to sim stat weight for m+, which profile should i choose?
And I know it seems like a dick answer, but their isnt a breakpoint or linear answer
so u need like 20%?
No, you need to sim yourself until it says it is better
does the sim take into account the reorigination array thing
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
@clever mural There isn't really a good way to sim that I'm afraid
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/enF5Kg72bNDYwzkrPLGZ7S change in my pants master > crit
So our bis traits for raiding is?
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?
@inner pulsar is the idea behind exang becoming better with haste coming from the energy regen or what
Moar ticks
im simming about .4% higher dps with tb > exang
i think its mainly bc haste increases the ticks of bleeds
@fossil furnace depending on the pack size and how may cp's i get back off of 1 fok is how i do it
More haste more ticks
So the haste stacks on the 100% bleed out inceease
Yes
Say your haste gives you 4 more ticks (random number) it is then further increases by that talent
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?
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
Ah I thought exang doubled it. I was incorrect with that.
So it just makes your damage hit faster. Over all not more times within the window
does anyone know how to blacklist everything but rupture and garrote above nameplates
Right
Idk I use icehud to track things on my target
should at least 1x SS be mandatory for m+ ?
noob question but if you refresh an SS garrote with a normal one prematurely, do you lose the bonus damage?
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?
Ya then you reapply after window
I can use numbers to explain, if that would help
And therefore more damage in same over all window
Whats the best 3 azerite combo now when SS is nerfed?
Yea. More dmg in the 20 se window
rip got bracers from warfront lol
Got it. Sorry
@strange python you can use plater nameplates
well i tried hecticaddcleave and beastlord but sim told me to collect more haste even i have >20%
Plater nameplates
Its viable but you have to see which sims higher. After ss nerf most have tb simming higher
Ya
Exsang is still great for just that, arena, rbg killing healers etc
Tb still hits hard tho.
And Tb to preempt envenoms?
If you can do 20k dmg in 10 sec instead of 20k in 20 sec, thats more healer pressure
You want 2+ 4-5cp env in your tb window
Tb buff increase all nature dmg including env insta dmg, poison dots, poison bomb and so on
(Even nature dmg traits would be increased)
Word
Is it worth holding for that window?
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
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 stone Its worth to dump +3 in TB window, or only 4's and 5's?
But yea
Id only use a 3cp env at the very end if you know you wont get a 3rd 4-5cp env
simmin 14k
Alright
what am i doing wroooooong
Are you 8.3 in fights or on a dummy?
Im currently using high ilvl azerite pieces but the traits are horrible. Is it worth using 3x good traits over high ilvl azerite armor?
Is there a consensus on MA vs Subter post-nerf?
dummy
Sim accounts for full raid buffs: flask, pots, battle shout, maybe array stacks
But thats still a big difference
Does the sims match your buffs? Lust, etc
It must be a rotato issue
I was just lookin if it was worth even simming it, appreciate the wonderful feedback ๐
In raids, probably not @shell viper ilvl is basically king in a raid environment
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?
Ahh gotcha. thanks
Scroll up river
guide said on cd
I just broke down that exact question
i see
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
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/o9iCXKZa7uTt1NFSouxctE no buffs selected
Iโd like to see the new sim too @loud niche
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
Thereโs we go
what are you guys thoughts on going full crit for more consistency, the rank 1 mythic+ sin rogue atm is only running 4% haste
is he running exsang or TB?
Crit should be better in aoe situations, so that makes sense
ppl understime sub hardcore i love it ๐
If we're talking PURE aoe, crit and mast are our best stats
And you tab ruptures n garrotes for energy regen
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
not fixed
Omg.. I've been fucking up this whole time then
noticed my dps was shet. tought they fixed it..
!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.
At this point, assume it will never be fixed
Its just the SS bonus that gets removed right? Not subterfuge. It wonโt make as big of a difference as youโd think. Especially after the nerf.
We've opened multiple bug reports since over a month ago
What if the garrote bug is actually part of the nerf, so they just decided to leave it on 
No. Its the subt and ss buff that gets removed
my dudes
Or w/e
is twist the knife nerfed in pvp
Idk. But it feels bad
Yes ado
@twin egret yup
Its 80% less effective
what do you suggest I run then in pvp?
Scent
is it buffed in pvp
No
so why would i run it over archive of the titans
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)
Im running 1x lm, 1x ss, 1x dd in arena. Seems ok
yet this says 10.2, so why am i able to hold higher than that for a long period of time?
does it matter which hand do I keep my enchants in?
if not, explain this https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/askzNne65zhjsuRquhbqry
The sim is a 5 min fight. If you dont hit the dummy for 5 min it will be off
it just seems archive of the titans seems much more effective than scent of blood
or stacking double dose really
error margin @dense nest
It makes a negligible difference if any, @dense nest
ok thanks guys so its whatever
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8ezAJGSTCaXXXk5FzWitdD man give me haste plz
yeah sim it 10 times u get different results
You can sim the exact same talents with the exact same gear and it can give you different sims
what trait setup are you guys running?
worth going troll?
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
so now that the shitstorm of SS drama has gone, how does SS stand compared to the other traits for both raids and m+?
Its still pretty good for m+
I'd say they are still preferable for raid as well just because of fight designs
honestly anything besides SB I'm fine with playing
Still one of the top traits for raid but not the top trait straight up
Very good in m+ still but not god tier
Fuck SB
If you like sb, go play fdk, emirite??
how the fuck do people play with sb?
SB is alright with sub though, because of all the multipliers
feels way worst than ss
What's with the sb hate? Also I should be throwing my knife at 29 right?
I mean, getting 150k+ crits does feel good but ๐คข
SB with assa is a press and forget, its dumb and forgettable.
Aren't traits for most classes pretty .eh
What's Laser matrix +10 and laser matrix +5 whats the difference?
how the fck are you guys getting 14-15k simdps, I'm 360 I only get 12k
Double Dose and Twist the Knife are atleast attractive on ST and pvp
We were lucky when ss was good because it positively impacted gameplay
does it make a difference what enchant goes on MH and OH?
no
alright cool, thanks
@wintry canyon same
SS is still quite good in M+
@arctic quartz I don't believe so, so long as the enchants are your top 2 secondaries
just dont go 2x the same enchant
@carmine sierra check pins or read what it says on bloodm or raidbots. Theres huge banners explaining it..
shrine of the storm
@wintry canyon optimize your gear, get better traits /trinkets/neck/weapons. I'm 350 and sim 12k
fuck this dungeon
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
tfw u want to farm Shrine but its god awfull this week
Fuck all the dungeons this week. Couldnt even clear a +9 urot yesterday.. the amount if trash before the 2nd boss was fucking ridiculous
pull big or go home
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
we did on a +8
!wa

Took like 10min of the 30min timer just to clear that room
@hollow stone Sorry, so just to clarify. For SS, we're holding Vanish/Emp Garrote's for Vendetta's, correct?
only the diseased lashers are dangerous, those you interrupt. The others u group up and cc
what our strata for 15+ adds? fok+CT every 5 cp or try to rapture all that shit?
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
gl rupturing 15+ adds lmao. If they live long enough, rupture 2 of them. Then spam FoK and CT
With exsang its a bit diff, but same idea
Alright, that's what I've been doing. Appreciate it
15+ pulls??? Just fok ct fok ct fok ct
well I just assumed he meant big pulls. I cant recall when the mob count has gone over 15+ though
Yeah lol
Zekvoz adds
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
cc the maggots, snare the bats is what we did
Yea. We did too in the end but man it was rough
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!!! ๐
The affixes this week are miserable
@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
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..??
Hey guys, I know it been talked all day, but what is the best combo traits for Uldir ? Archive + SS +SB ?
For pure DPS ?
Ye
And at least one SS ?
Nope. Ilvl
Yeah but
is it even possible to get triple archive 
Between same ilvl
Idk lol
Between same ilvl, sim it
Based on bloodm, 1x archive, and then dd or sb. If all are equal ilvl
anything with adds I'd go atleast 1 SS
Ok, thanks for you help
DD preforms better than SS on ST with TB
Like, my 385 helm using tradewinds is better than my 340 using a much better trait
so in otherwords, sim it. Both talents and traits
As a real example
Does anyone have a weakaura for targets in range of fan of knives like this? https://wago.io/NyFFoF1mQ
If anywhere does, its probably wago
SB = Sharpened or Scent ? x)
