aoe crimson build you focus mastery?
I have 0 weakaura editing experience 
I have 2x archive pieces but I’m not sure how they stack.
It doubles the agi you get per stack
And also I’m mainspec outlaw and it’s stacking mastery for me which is my worst stat lol
Ok ty. Do you know if there is anywhere a list of the best defensive traits ?
Yea they don’t.
+75 of your highest secondary per array stack
Highest secondary when you zone in
So if you want haste, and haste isnt your highest, remove gear til haste is your highest, zone in, and put gear back on
Youll gey haste
@rancid bobcat https://pastebin.com/e4AMCP8a
So I’m gettlike like 225 mastery which is my worst stat lel
its just a slightly modified version of my weakaura (basically just removed the combo stacks and enabled it for all rogue specs)
So the dev was wrong about procs affecting it then?
@hollow stone that’s awesome I’ll try it tonight
I’m guessing I have to have my array pieces on at minimum
Neat
Hi, how does assa handle higher keys now with the trait nerf?

Exactly the same, you just do slightly less damage
ok thank you
on aoe packs should i be rupturing more than 3 targets
or just 3 targets then start ct
great. if I unequip my 3x garrote trait (361) and equip my uldir azerit gear (367) I do lesser dps by far
Outside of uldir maybe
I think they don’t want people crushing m+ with uldir gear so it’s not that good outside of uldir
inside too
well
im in uldir atm
are you using exsang or toxic blade
there is your answer
i dont feel the nerf much, i still play with 2x ss in m+ and have around 14k overall dps, before it was between 16 and 17k
garrot trait still bis? Cause blood mallet ranks it lower than other
garrote bad for raiding you mean?
so still worth stacking in plus? must reroll my gear again i guess
depends what you have, thats why you should sim yourself
if you have only worse its still your best option
when I equip my 367 gear i have 2x titans 1x garrote trait
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
try something with 1x ss ( highest ilvl ) 1x archive and 1x DD or infusion
Guys guys assa is currently not viable in raids guys
@outer acorn BUT I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSEEEEEEEEEEE 😦
battlefield focus sims surprisingly high for me
Regarding EP talent. Is there any mechanical play around it or just nuke and ignore?
Not viable spec end of the story
"not at the top, ded spec"
but i have to admit id rather play outlaw because its way more fun to me
but cba azerites again
All the groups and guilds expecting Rogues to be top
Guys archive and laser matrix stack together
i got 4th place in vectis fight and i was replaced
two archives do not stack
the stat stacks, but not duration?
@vestal wren how do you change the range on the WA? cause fok is 15 vs 10 yards
Then you should roll a DH obviously
I hope you're ready to reroll every time blizzard feels like nerfing a class.
Why is MA simming higher though?
is it worth using CT on 2 targets
or 3+?
and when is it worth using CT as a finisher over envenom
why would sim show SS better than archive of titan
how do you get 10 stacks of reorigination ray, like hero damage expects?
fs
In a build made of SB
@rancid bobcat you can change this to 15 (custom trigger function, trigger tab)
kill bosses and wait a week
Do I have to sim to choose between TB or Exsang, or it depends of the situation ?
you sim
Thanks
Ok
Out of curiosity, the Wowhead guide says that nightstalker pulls a little ahead on ST, how come the ravenholdt guide still recommends subterfuge on st by comparison though?
what sims highest for you? (take that)
yea i had it queed up, i was just curious if there was a reason for it
"sim whats best for you" is just confusing. broken game if you have to sim what to play
Sims are bae
You don’t have to sim what to play, just play what you like
Sims are for playing your best
Then dont sim if you dont want to. Nobody is forcing you to minmax lol
How dare a tool exist that can tell you what is best for your current gear.
@valid atlas i play the class. i've come in piece with that. im not trying to play the FOTM spec... im just asking for an opinion from more expierience players! 😃
yea but theres something wrong if I have to replace 367 with 361 3x garrote trait
to do more dps
i would like to improve and be helpful for my guild.
That’s not the sims fault, and you don’t have to.
but in the last weeks its just confusing
Then you should sim
+/- 18% is nothing really.
Can you link the sims showing the disparity in dps?
Yea. I spent about 2hrs pre raid on tuesday sinming. If you want to do your best, its the best way to do it
If you have trouble interpreting the sim. Or if the results are ideal for a specific fight. Then ask.
assa is the best DPS atm
I think people in the class discords are typically on a more min max paradigm and are mostly discussing specific questions. Coming w/ generic what should I generally be doing is going to make people go off
Sims are not god. Just a piece of the puzzle.
1/3 sim. 1/3 fight timing and actual logs. 1/3 player skill.
sure I can sim my gear after raid
@lone junco you had much time to play around with SB?
I sim during raid. lol. Before I decide to keep an item Ive already run it in st and cleave.
Exeo has been playing sb
@lone junco lol i do the same :)
Dont get it, so is shrouded sufocation trait still strong cos of bug or not? Cos some ppl started changing it but all pro players still use it?
So my 367 has 2x titans and 1x twist the knife, and my 361 has 3x garrote and with 361 I deal much more
I tried it. Was not a fan. Went back to archive/SS/ditb.
That doesnt seem right, @drifting hare
Deal more or sim more? Cause the archive traits only work in the raid.
im 100% sure and confident
I think ill try SB pure ST. Anything with cleave adds ill stay SS
SB is awkward but has a better peak frequency.
@lone junco i dont even know how to open with it
SB?
Standard opener but with MA talent
Apl has it.
Then vanish throw before vendetta ends?
is 1 trait of SS even worth it for m+? its near on the bottom of the list now for cleave on bloodmallet.com
Afaik, ma opener and vanish toss right before vend ends or at 29 stacks
Yea thats what i do. Was making sure
Ma. Garrote mut rupture vendetta mut vanish tb env mut mut env ..... knife at end of vendetta. Around 29stack
@lone junco do you not vanish and throw foe the crit chance?
I would but maybe noobe is on another level
What is the apl? What is it avbreviated from
But with GC and lust it stacks during the open pretty quickly.
Action priority list
Ill have to see what happens
how can i sim to see if 3x ss is better than 3x dd?
Amirite? Guessing.
Actions per litre 😏
@hollow stone in raid
Oooo spicy
The vendetta vanish tb mut env (ma) probably pumps more than a knife.
Can anyone answer? Does SS is still worth for m+?1 or more stacked? does it makes any difference?
I use 3ss for m+
SS is good still
@lone junco do you think it would do more dps to ghuun p2 during beam conpared to ss combo
do u use deeper staghelm in mythic+ or vigor
Thats a good one repro, exsang w ss was soooo much dmg during that burn
Always vigor
Idk. I don't like the pure single.
That's bizarre @drifting hare
harlan's stat buffs scale with ilvl right?
Exang should fit nicely in that window.
i played taloc with 367
and mother and fetid i played with 3x garrote
look at the dps difference
different fights
Its possible the burn phases made the diff.... i cant dive into your logs atm unfortunately
mother and fetid have damage increase mechanics
even in burst i was bad at taloc
Same. I'm on phone. But 2ss 1archive is very good on fetid
you can see it the first minute in burst
Same with tb. W/e
I did m taloc this week without any ss and was 98th percentile
@drifting hare The ss traits have far more forgiveness to them as the burst dps is very easy to get right. Maybe your not playing the rest of the encounter optimally when not using ss. So the dps difference is so fsr off?
So i dont think ss is super important in raid
i dont know, could be a case, but I doubt it
This is an opinion tho..
yea might be correct but I cant relate
apologies if this has been asked before, any mechanics behind EP talent while its up / Envenom buff? Ive been building combos for the next finisher while in that window of buff. correct method?
Thats correct. Ideally, you want to chain ep into ep and not clip it at all
But ideal situation usually doesnt exist
anyone know why SS is so low on this list for cleave? did it get nerfed THAT badly?
Simulation data for everyone. Overview of DPS relevant simulation data for World of Warcraft.
@drifting hare just looking at ur taloc logs ur not playing right
what am I doing wrong?
@hollow stone I'm not "another level". I just read the apl and look at logs. Then try to do that.
I did almost 14k with 0 SS on taloc mythic
Raid dps and fight duration have a huge impact on parse % btw.
!stat
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
Yea, thats what i said, another level 😏 @lone junco
Esp in heroic. Mobs scale with roster and low dps. Or extra heals drag it out.
@primal gazelle could be affected by the bug thats pinned
raid DPS etc does make a difference wheny ou're trying to push 95+, but you can get 90+ in almost every scenario
Basically, the higher the raid dps, the higher everyones parse will be, because the fights will end more quickly, allowing burst phases to not get pulled down through duration
Dont get it, looks here like his garrote is doing double his dmg-while he has only 3 SS, and thats like 1k dmg more not double ->https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/h3JjaMdALWfYQZ2g/#fight=last&type=damage-done&translate=true&source=15&ability=703
I don't do log review on my phone. Maybe someone else can find your losses.
unless it's something like zekvoz and you dont get an orb buff where you wont parse well at all
What traits is everyone using now
Im talking abouth his parse on Fetid, and on taloc where he didnt have 3 SS he did double less dmg in garrote, so means this shit is still fcking bugged, great
Of course it is still bugged.
met yday in raid guy with 1 SS and his garrote did almost double more dmg
ye but im talking abouth dmg that trait does
its not nerfed 40% its still working lol
i knew I wasnt crazy about this
it is nerfed lol
do u see what I see?
you might not be using your garrote's properly?
Can't look. On phone.
ye it is, but check his dmg (Not u Noobe 😄 obv) but others
what about if he links an image in discord can you see that?
on mother-your garrote did same dmg, but on fetid first 30secs, your garrote did double dmg than u did without it on same time frame on taloc?
idd lemee screen it
y
fetid takes 50% more dmg in 2nd phase, and lust was out, and he probably had prepots/vendetta etc going on
im doing almost the same everytime depending situation
average hits are almost double
my opener is the same
on fetid vs taloc
i dont know what happened there
@blazing cobalt that statement is not true
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wBtYCeNCxdfm7LrFXCTqkg should i use laser + 2x SS in mythic+ dont have 3x ss
and yday, this guy also had SS I think atleast 1 and did allot more garrote dmg, and okay he does have higher ilvl than me and stronger gear, ubt its imposibile to have this much stronger-> https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/RtkC91f8WMKxcVPG#fight=1&type=damage-done
ty
Sure it is. If peak dps is from burst, the closer you kill the boss to the burst window, or rather, the larger the percentage of a fight is during lust and prepots, then the higher everyones DPS is going to be at the end
@blazing cobalt high dps can kill a boss prior tp CDs. Ideally to top parse you want to end as your CD cycle ends.
@manic quartz try to sim for AOE when thinking about mythic+, boss dps is less important, especially this week
Both of you are correct
i do have 3x Archive of titans, shouldnt that make good in higher m+ when the fights prolong
No one is correct
check this lol, -> https://puu.sh/BychC/e70db4bf51.png is me without any SS trait, and this is guy with I think atleast one-> https://puu.sh/Bychx/1aeda724b9.png
he did my double garrote dmg.. like..wtf..
So whats the recommended traits now
3x ss like it seems 😛
he had 1 SS lol and 2 archieves
what were your traits?
Ss still for m+ this discord says
i meant hey're basically trhe only 2 good aoe traits regardless lol
@grizzled ocean shh don't tell blizz its still op
3x SS was nerfed and its still best?
what 2 weapon enchants does sin use? and does it matter which goes on Main hand
see
np ❤ just tell me that to know lol
For m+. Not for raid single target
the top dps is using archive, laser and ss
hey guys is there anyway to see the execute dps when specced into blindside?
@severe ice crit/haste for raids
@severe ice oftimally you'd prolly want haste in your MH depending on your stat prio, but it really doesnt make a huge difference
@grizzled ocean matrix and archive dont activate in m+
woe to us poor plebes who still havent gotten an uldir azerite piece yet 😦
@blazing cobalt amen
I ment in raid, but in mythic+ probably like sims said, but only 1 atleast SS and thats it I guess
Yes they do, u just dont get origination stacks
@blazing cobalt i had 3 heroic drops in 3 resets.
we figured it out that 1SS is good and op, now does 3 or 1 makes any difference thats another question
@indigo epoch which is where the biggest dps gain comes from
I got daggers off mother immediately, but nothing since 😃
I had the #4 best mythic taloc parse on tues and I was using 1 archive 1 ss 1 laser
@ripe nimbus TB i presume?
Yes I don't touch exsang I hate that shit
Subterfuge still?
Ya
just link your armory 😛
@rough agate ?
So have the azerite traits nerf hit yet?
exsang-makes u god in mythic+ 😄
@grizzled ocean CT helps :)
CT?
how does one go about choosing between toxic blade and exsanguinate?
@near swanraidbot and sim
does anyone know of any weak auras that can help me track Rupture for aoe
371.. xD nice
ty
@ripe nimbus you sim 2k higher than me... i hate this rng bullhicky
Im 359 item level
Idd does any1 got any weak aura or smtg, to make easier in mythic+ to dot all around
Whats the best traits for m+
Raidbots makes simming so quick and easy you’ll want to sim
@grizzled ocean tab is your friend
Just tab
archives stack yeah? Would 2 archives 1 SS be good
^just use a weakaura that tracks dot durations and check them all once in a while with tab
does anyone know optimal though?
@rough agate it doesnt stack
Archives do stack
The stat bonus yes it does
Reorigination doesn't
@ripe nimbus i never knew that
2 archives and 1 SS didnt work for me. 3x SS was for me personally stronger
Yea thats what i mean
ok thanks faux
post nerf?
Hence why you run 1 1 and a trait. Which i feel will come down to either Ss or dose
boys
today
mind answering a question
question
better try yourself
I'm simming higher with 1x laser 1x dd 1x scent- than 1x laser 1x dd and 1x ss
@drifting hare according to bloodmallet lazer and archive do less damage than SS if you have no reorigination stacks, you got any of those?
how do i change gear on raidbots without refreshing stuff in armory?
simulationcraft addon
simulationcraft
that works for raidbots?
install then /simc will dump your gear on and in inventory
@drifting hare which one are you ?
and you paste it into raidbots
thoughts on askmrrobot's new sim?
you guys have any good WA to track empowered dots and pandemic?
feelcraft?
Wat do u guys run for PvP?
He makes up shit to suit how he thinks it works vs sims
I have 2 bad bosses
ahhh
But i have 359 item level these where 357 or below
Its why his shit never matches simcraft
w
does the stat weights thing on raidbots generate input for pawn or does it generate ideal stat weights to aid in finding upgrades?
so its basically just my current weight to import to pawn
Yea ans sim.everytime you upgrade a piece
If you have 3 x ss its so easy to hit 90+
As the main dps comes from opener and vendetta vanish phases
There is more room for error during the rest of the time you fight
3x SS is pretty bad I lost 1.4k dps when they nerfed it was better to use higher ilvl archive tidal surge laser then 3x ss
@ripe nimbus i have a 2xsb 1xdd setup
Sims 400dps higher
But is a loss vs anything with multi targets that has full duration garrotes on
I have been very unlucky with raid gesr
Not a single azerite piece
Or from m10 caches
Oh I play outlaw on the aoe fights because it's just better for that
I only play sin for ST
Triple archive sims highest for me 355 355 370 🤔
@ripe nimbus i have respectable outlae but i find it very ubreliable
@near swan it is ahead on sims at mpment ST
Every time I play outlaw I get good rolls when we wipe and 5 single buff rolls in a row when we kill the boss..
Outlaw is the most unreliable spec with the most variation pull to pull so It can be better but also can be much worse
5x cdr buff makes me want to hurt myself
!stat
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
during our opening are we clipping EP for every envenom as long as we don't cap for energy
Did anyone try poison bomb with tb after nerf in m+? Is it better? I can't trust warcraftlogs. And don't wanna damage less then frost mage
i was gone for a week, what traits are you guys using now?
Pros / Cons anyone for Exang and Toxic blade?
rip SS btw
should i just be doing +5's for farming?
What do you wanna do
@vestal crest FeelsBadman 🔫
@indigo epoch amr has different cool down usage assumptions. And response to proc actions. And it tends to be a little lower than simc robotic output. It also has a different apl author.
Can't high parse as sin anymore bc of the old ss logs, gone from 99s to 80s
Can anyone give me a quick run down of AOE priority
I cant seem to see it on the site
did they stealth nerf the SS trait today?
They not-steath nerfed it
thought the 40% only was for pvp
Lol nop
no
Rofl

what are u guys goin atm then?
Trait called unsubbed
u have 3 of those?
Just one. It's BIS
oh ok
Don't be so salty
The world isn't ending
Just go dd or sp or lm or arch
And move on with your life
SS is still prolly bis for m+ no?
Or hunter
It's fine in m+
sharpened blade is so awkward to play imo
are people still crying over SS
SoB is probably bis for m+
Yeah SB is hot garbage
which one is SoB?
Get a wa for sb, it's just medium fine
Scent of blood
Scent of bloooood
i can respect that trait
I dont have trouble counting stacks, just dont like sb playstyle
If the completely deleted SS. Scent would be good with large pulls and high crit.
3xss is still very strong in keys
Thanks dad.
Its just not also busted in raid
been playing a few without 1x ss .... feelsbadman
what are u guys playing on patchwerk fights? if u have to go assa
I want mah cps
Whatever sims highest @oblique flax
Check logs, sim your self
aight
@ruby idol agreed. Mix it with crit mastery gear and CT and you have solid aoe
@sand whale I'll prob transition 1ss 2scent for m+. But doesn't seem necessary yet.
The specs are just balanced now in a way that sin shines in some while sub and outlaw shine in others
Especially considering its teeming fort week
simming mythic + how mnay targets do you use?
yeah @lone junco I hoping they bump sob up a bit too
We're just not clearly the best m+ spec in the game anymore
@wheat zealot im doing 25k+ on m+ trash
Dhs you play with are trash, maybe lol
And then on ST noone beats me
Which we were. Things are fine
Just saying youre not gonna beat everyone just because you have ss
Its not like that anymore
I run m+ with 1k plus raider io players in 370+ gear and i can out dps them in 359
im rerolling DH for trash dps
!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.
When you pad on infested packs you can beat anyone :)
Even ST not just aoe padding which is still vital for clear speeds
oh shiet that bug is aids
Dh can't feint or cloak either
It doesn't seem like any dungeons require invis pots + shroud? Not sure
But if you only need a single skip you don't need a rogue
So is everyone dropping shrouded suffocation for sharpened blades now then?
Well fuck me the ss bug is still there
How can they not that ffs
how bad was the SS Nerf?
I mean for raid I guess
Raw nerf was like 6% st for me. But I adjusted around with archive and ditb and back to original value within a day.
M+ I was doing 25k packs. Now like 20-22k packs.
I dont have any of those stack traits feelsbadman
But I still run 3ss in m+.
does matrix work outside of raid
it sure does
But you have to stack inside the raid and have at least one trait equipped so u get the stacks
so is there an ideal trait to stack in raid now?
Bloodmallets sims are so weird compared to public opinion on assassin
So SS is just that bad in ST?
lol
Its like, 5th or 6th or something for st
So its not bad. Its just not too
Too
God damnit.
TOP
Lmao
so using a non ss garrote while other ss garrotes are up gets rid of the extra damage?
yes
rip
@vast mulch that is incorrect. You can get your array stacks prior to having an uldir az piece. Obviously they dont activate without an uldir az piece, but you can stack em before getting one so when you do get one you're not weeks behind
Should I always use Toxic Blade on CD or should I wait 2 seconds to generate combo points for an immediate envenom?
some times wait 2 seconds*
second exsan after opener, just pandemic the garr and max combo rup thats it?
Use on cd. But try to plan ahead. When i see tb in 5-6 sec, i try to make sure my bleeds are 10sec+, have 3cps, and pool some energy
Im gonna say this again because it is vital: if you are not over capping energy or cps, you are not wasting dps. Plan ahead
so would it pretty much always be worth to use a 5 cp envenom and THEN TB for the cp it generates?
Implication here is that you are maintaining bleeds n shit too. Just to specify
sure
Ideally you go into your tb coming off cd w 3cp and pooled energy. You then cp to 4-5cp and env. Then mut to 4-5 and env. Then mut to 4-5.. you get the point
Theres definitely a consensus and that is, you guessed it, sim yo self
welp, seems TB is around 50-100 dps ahead then xD
Anyone know if warfronts can drop azerite armor?
is the TB opener still r>g>r>mut>vendetta>r?
negative
or do you weave in TB earlier ?
If u are reapply bleeds before pandemic u are losing dps tho
Yea, thats why i said ideally :p
you mean the ravenholdt guides?
is the website even still accessible?
ravenholdt
Ravenholdt? Yea
Won't open on my end, just blank pages
Is keeping my single shrouded suffucation over an archives of the titans worth it? mainly for outside of raid
I'm on it right now
copied from ravenholdt if it's not loading for you
I havent done enough m+ this week to answer that definitively. Im using 1 arch, 1 ss, 1 dd for m+ but idk if this is good
hmmh alright
sadly one of my traits is scent
so my choices are scent dd ss or scent dd arch
Sob (apparently) is good for m+. Again, just based on what others have said in here. I cant confirm or deny
opened it with notepad and its just symbols yikes
I would highly recommend keeping 1x ss at least for m+
Why would you open a file on an anonymous chat program?
If same ilvl, id recommend ss over arch for m+
@hollow stone how do I know how many stacks I have
and given all equal ilvl you can even go 3x ss
Thanks for correcting me btw
lol
@vast mulch 1 for every week youve killed 3 bosses
I did make that in sublime
Do you still want crimson tempest with scent for the AOE bleed, or would you ened every combo points you can get for ruptures
figured it would just be raw text
So you cant check until you have an uldir az piece
Without having to do anything prior?
Yup
need to kill bosses from what I read
Kk thanks bby u the best
hidden quest
Got my first uldir az piece this week, equipped and had 3 array stacks
kill 3 bosses = 1 stack each week
Np my homie
I've having bad luck with azerite gear
I did too... until this week
hmm opened the file w/ apple textedit and looks good to me /shrug
This week rained az on me. Keep the faith, they will come
Thanks joopkins I just used windows wordpad and it was fine, still trying to figure out how to get the website working though
Lol. Class fantasy baby
but actually though the website just wont load, just a blank page
http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
that's the link I"m using too
That is bizarre. Your link worked for me np. Are you at work or something, maybe it's blocked??
nope sitting at my desktop in my apartment, and I used to use the site all the time
Whats the best traits to run for m+?
ive heard theres something called azirite armor bad luck protection from weekly chests
how true is this
Im sorry pride, this answer is me being an ass because we dont actually know yet. "The ones that do the most dmg for you"
Fake news
finally got a fuckin 370 dagger
Fake news for sure
U probably watched to much porn now ur computer is infected
Good job Jesus hates u
rip I guess its just me and porn now
Could be worse
The 2nd tier traits have more of an impact on M+ then the main traits imo even if i run 1 Ss In M+ it's not that much overall damage over just staying with my archive
3 heed my call for M+ that's my suggestion
in m+ heed my call is like a whopping 1% of my damage even with a 3stack
26 runs to get my boon
finally dropped
@ripe nimbus i run 3 x ss 3 x heed in m+
Works very well
@strange python grats! im at least 15 runs in 9+'s atm, still nothing
Are u pulling 1 mob at a time. It does like 3to5% of my damage
@strange python i hate boon. It requires a static time that can be pretty hard to maximise in raid conditions
@strange python i found dice performs much more consistantely:( although sims far less

@strange python i play 8 hours a week or so. 6 of those are in raids. I need proper good luck to improve my gear ran 3 x 10s today no loot. Luckily two people gave me gear and i gained 100dps lol

Hey, can someone explain how Haste interacts with rupture/garrote and also with Exsanguinate? Want to understand how Galecallers affects Exsang usage exactly
Alts have 2-3 raid azerite pieces
guys what do we like on single target in azerite traits 3x DD ?
So it snapshots haste on rupture/garrote cast, and also on Exsang cast to empower the dots?
I haven't actually gotten any of the azerite my self besides my 385 one from weekly. The two 370 I got were traded to me from guild
God bless
Is ther any dynamic updating of stats? (also oter than haste)
@fickle viper when you exang the garrote and ruptures take into account your current stats if i understand it correctly
Even if it then drops off it remains constant during the duration.
Whereas if you just used GCB outside of exang
i never knew this.. i thought it was dynamic. rip
only haste
Mastery/crit/damage amp is dynamic
Master assassin sims 20 dps higher then subterfuge for me oh no
ah kk
i wonder if getting boon makes exsang better for me
@spice surge thank you for highlighting that. I was focusing on the GCB interaction with exang
probably. its the best trinket by a mile for exsang
I have 370 boon and exsang is still a 200 dps loss over TB I'm at 371 ilvl
Welcome to the boat @ripe nimbus
Thank you for adding that little part to round up the knowledge for those reading /salute
I think exsang ded after SS nerf
what traits are people currently using for raiding? im having some issues since the SS nerf
probs tbh
@ripe nimbus i disagree. Its just not the best anymore. Its the easiest not to fuck ip
Up*
For raiding specifically, ilvl is king
sim yo self, ilvl isnt always king
my 370 shoulders have the agil from rupture then everything else is 340
@hollow stone i level is only as good as the person using it
Just one thing for clarity, does it make a difference if you GCB for your rupture/garrote cast before you Exsang, or does it recalculate the dot/ticks when you cast Exsang entirely so you only need GCB for Exsang?
If it's not the best it's ded tho... amrite?
@fickle viper recalcs it for the exnag
@fickle viper Second, only when you cast exsang
Thanks for the answers @strange python @spice surge 😃
Well, yeah, but if people ask a "cookie cutter question", ima give em a "cookie cutter answer"
Imagine your taking a photo. It snaps it at its current state and then develops. As long as you wait for it to fall off completely you have done your job :)
the only thing that's probably guaranteeed to be better, no matter what, is reorig if you have some stacks especially. have sims figured out how to incorporate thos eproerly yet?
@hollow stone then tell them 1 arch 1 matrix 1 dose
Maybe ss depending on item level or if you like the garrote rupture garrote opener
Raidbot does sim it now
Why not 2 arch, 1 dd? @strange python
awesome
😏
I dont think we want LM in absolute bis raid st gear
I dont have a singlr piece yet so ill take anything lol
Archive sims better
archive is by far and away the best trait atm. especially with those stacks it's insane
for 1 stack at least
And theres helm, shoulders, and chest w archive but only helm n chest with LM
Is SS stacking still worth for M+, or is Scent of Blood or even just ilvl more value now?
Overwhelming power is the best ST trait fight me
It also would depend on array stacks
I've seen some people walking around with 355-360 pvp daggers. Where are these obtained from?
But i may be wrong. As i am presuming they dont take the origination array into account
PvP
😄
@fickle viper SS stack still best for m+
@glass vessel thanks asshole lol where specifically?
Get 500 conquest it's the first reward
@summer yoke RBG's or arena's im only playing
Ok if i was @hollow stone i would use 1 archive
It just seems odd that with archive simming higher than LM after LM nerf that we'd still want 1x LM, yknow?
Then other off raid pieces
I did, it gave me a 345 dagger
you gotta get higher rating
So out of the chests?
It depends on your rating
I got an upgrade to 370 pvp token from pvp chest and upgraded the dagger so I have a 370 pvp dagger
No
I am presuming the major damage is from reorigination array
higher rating, better ilvl
The arena quest this week is for a pvp weapon upgrade, isn’t it?
Ahhh ok. Damn. Makes sense though
The stack only adds 476 dps
I'm 1600, is that still too low to get a 355 dagger?
Nop
I'm 1600 and have a 370 pvp dagger
@flint swift where you seeing that?
You can get it, you just have to play until you get lucky and get a dagger. Unfortunately it could take you a lot of games as the gear is random
Yea. I think so too. So if you get 1 archive, that gives you your array buffs n then you would prob want 2x dd or sb on your other pieces, again, assuming all equal ilvl blah blah @limber dew
And it takes like 10-15 games to get one item (in 2vs2 atleast)
@ripe nimbusdamn.. And you got it from a chest after an arena win?
@spice surge ok gotcha, so just play more. Got it! Lol
And hope I get lucky
Only thing we need to lool at is just how powerful they scale each week as it may just give it a raw dps increase from stat. But i would think that assumption would be a sound choice. @hollow stone
how do you guys open with MA can any1 tell
Ok back to massaging the misses feet
Good discussion @strange python
I got a 345 dagger first week from the 500 conquest then out of my weekly pvp chest I got a upgrade token to upgrade any pvp gear to 370 so I item restored the dagger and used it on the dagger
@round ledge it’s from the weekly conquest cap quest.
if stat weights tell me haste is higher than agi, should I still socket an agi gem or just go with haste?
Haste gems fo lyfe boi
There’s a token that upgrades a pvp weapon
I always run ct for m+
You always run CT in dungeons
I've done 14 keys and I run PB
inconsistent
PB is meager overall dmg
Do you really? @ripe nimbus any numbers to back that up? Sorry if this came off as dickish
and 2% on bosses. CT is lightyears ahead for m+
Not intended to be
At least u can utilize PB on bosses
For like, 50k dmg?
it's ~2% of boss dmg vs. CT being WAY better on trash is the thing
Give him a chance to answer, guys
unless you're in crazy high keys on tryannical i dont think it's worth
Do u think bosses last 2 seconds on tyrannical week at 14 lvl?
no
you didnt say "i do 14 tyrannical keys with PB" you just said "i run PB over CT"
he did tho
@ripe nimbus how do you get the weekly conquest chest? I checked mine on Tuesday and nothing was in it. But I definitely hit my 500 conquest cap for that week
"ive run 14 keys and i run pb" is not "i run PB speciaclly for high keys"
Plus a majority of M+ is single targeting a prio target down
then why no sub?
Because I don't like sub?
@summer yoke did you turn in the weekly cap quest?
U don't need to turn in that quest to get weekly chest u just need to get a rated battle ground rating and cap conquest the previous week
@flint swift hmm I thought I did? Maybe not. Is just over by the pvp weekly chest right? That's where the quest giver is?
Rated pvp rating*
single targetting a prio target down? how?
if you treat m+ now like you treated legion you're gonna have a bad time @_@"
Yeah but apparently you don’t need to turn it in according to critizin. I thought you did but maybe not.
@daring imp Infested
cc infested, cleave, finish up infested
Cc the infested the majority of the time ?
oh 'cuz the rest of the trash doesn't matter, just the infested? o_o
Like wut
it literally doesnt until infested is dead
unless it's cc'd which isn't always possible
Infested is a joke anyway.
and not just infested, there's pulls where a specific mob is particularly deadly, and you want it dead asap
most of the successful in time dgs i've ran were either cleaving them all but focusing infested
It's not just infested alot of things will wipe ur group if it's not dead first
there's dungeons and dungeons, a few of them the infested doesn't matter because the mob is surrounded by the weak mobs
If u go into M+ to spam aoe stay to low keys lol
that's nice in paper, critizin
lacking aoe will just hurt the overall time
with or without infested mob on the pack
your tank getting 1shot or your group getting wiped because that one mob, who is way more deadly than the other 4 "warrior" mobs around it, didnt die because you wanted to cleave is a lot worse
that's a good argument on teeming/fort
that's not an argument, that's how it works for a large amount of m+ pulls
in higher keys
What is the easiest affix combination? Because I'm sure this is one of the hardest ones
If your tank didn't live because the prio target died 10% slower, even though you're doing 25% more dungeon dps, the problem was mechanics, not dps output.
how much haste is too much
cool ima let berserkers in KR with fortitude live 10% longer so i can cleave 3 of them and see how my tank likes it in 10+'s
Why don't you kidney shot them instead?
you talking about the small berserkers or the huge guys??
You can have too much Haste but that would require the scenario you are in the favor other stats. @silk jolt
U can tell when someone only does low keys
kidney shot is ST not cleave, literally my point lol
Just let them enjoy overall damage
true
@glass vessel or in FH lol ut look guys my dmg is littt
well, for sure, the 2% st dmg with pb vs the amount ct contributes overall the entire dungeon will certainly be the difference between a tanking living and dying
meanwhile your tanks getting backhganded and buttfucked because you want to cleave the dogs down
@final stone lol
i forgot, we have many pros here, i'm sorry
the PB/CT argument was completely different than what we are talking about now
did you win any rated pvp games that week?
over bosses
Please tell me nobody is running PB this week for M_
but i honestly still dont see how PB is gonna consistently help you do that, wont a big CT as part of exsang on prio target be better?
that = kill prio target in a pack
why are people acting like CT someone completely nerfs your st dmg lol
Like, even hidden dagger would be better, but don't take it either.
okay I can't englsih
You added adde a word
lol
the 2% PB does arent really gonna help you kill the boss or smth
unless youre fighting the goddamn 3rd boss in temple
heh
that asshole has some PBs coming
but yes I can sit on berserker on high keys, no PB okay sure maybe my ST dmg on berserker might be slightly lower
People take PB in mythic plus during fortified because they’re lazy
but if it gets to a point your PB makes meaningful difference
Is it worth the effort to go for a 5cp CT before you exsang? or not a big deal
your group sucks
no its not radical
No radical, it's irrelivent
Because you're not refreshing CT in that window anyway, because the other mobs already have it.
its simply due to its inconsistency that counting on PB to help you do something important is a losing strategy for m+, where consistency is the most important thing
why do you want deadly navigation on mainhand?? what is the benefit of it being mainhand
Yeah, but in terms of killing a prio target it does pump some extra dmg in right
There is none.
No benefit
would you guys prefer 3 SS traits for m+ or 2 SS and Titan or Lasermatrix ?
Use w/e enchantment on w/e hand you want.
3ss probably
SS wins in M+
weapon enchants are in alphabetical order from left to right
Maybe 1 titan 2 ss,
The stats from Archive are nice.
so deadly mainhand, quick offhand
i can do 4ss in the window
People arguing with seli.. Phew.
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
No you can't.
You do 3
how do you not do 4? one that puts you out of stealth and 3 in subterfuge window
nah you only get 3 total in the window
He means he can cast 4 before subterfuge drops (so they all should be empowered)
if you actually manage to get 4 off in the subterfuge window, then it should work? the bug revolves around repplying out of subterfuge
You literally can't
but i've never managed it
what is your haste
Haste is irrelivent
haste doesnt matter lol
just get more haste 4head
it's GCD
clap
1 sec gcd classes don't get the haste reduction
great game
I would have been way more OK with the nerf if they fixed it at the same time
The only way to get 4 Garrotes in a SUB window is to Vanish for it.
Then it's 2 sub windows tho
but then you could get 6 >_> and not 4.
Can double garrote 3 adds as well.
o ok ok
Well yeah, on 5 mobs, vanish is a big dick cooldown
i am learning
it pandemics
You need 3 PHAT mobs though, because you should be CTing before the Vanish to spend SOME of the CP mess you are generating.
and that's a lot of fucking DoT time.
should also have at least 2 ruptures
otherwise the garrotes run out and youre starving energy
and starving is bad
ye
you want to wait with the 2nd set of garrotes until they are in pandemic range anyways right
you shouldnt really vanish agrrote just for dps either
usually theres a few mobs you can iron-wire silence
On +10 fortified, if your mobs die in 20 seconds I want to see logs.
Any other use for Vanish in that 2min CD?
lol
so if theyre still >50% hp the garrote will run full duration, and you get some nice silence-efficiency too
yeah silence is p clutch
10 fort mobs die in 10 sec w a frost mage, obviously 🙃
vanish for chainpulls / delayed infested pulls also nice
yup
Yarrr
Not that it matters if the infested is the last mob, but you can restealth in between it dieing and the goonies spawning
Ty @proven ice i will now only and always refer to them as goonies
Yeap.
👌
with the nerf is assassinatino still performing pretty well?
ghuunies* c'mon bruh
We were overperforming before the nerf.
We'll have to see after this week
sin is still great in dungeons don't panic. it needed a nerf, it was a bit harsh, but it's all good
well yeah, but is it pretty solidly in line now?
If we do well in fortified teeming week, there's no stopping us.
our traits are in line now.
I know, niko but then people might read it as guh-hoonies. And that aint right, yo
How bout for raids? Still performing well?
assassinatino is a good name for the spec
If we're underperforming by Blizzards numbers we will probably get an aura buff but I doubt it unless we're down in raids as well.
I understand the nerf. If your best cleave trait is your best single target trait, that's broken.
Warriors had siesmic wave nerfed for that reason, rightfully so
Best ST and Multi isn't OK.
if your best trait is 50% better than any other trait, thats a problem
2 birds 1 stone in this case.
yep, SS was gonna get nerfed 100% for sure, I just wish they fixed the bug at the same time
D:
Insert "so buff the other traits" comment here
Wasn't needed.
imo the only way they should have nerfed it by 40% tho is if they buffed rupture talent slightly, or something. 40% with no bug fix and no other traits buffs kinda blew ass
Buffing other traits would have pushed them over the line that Blizzard wants spec traits at.
SS is still King where it matters.
so I'm not that bothered by the 40% nerf
Did anyone figure out if having (2) reorigination Array brings down the value ?
also, toxic blade vs exsanguinate post nerf, still about the same?
The passive doesn't stack.
Array stacks do not stack
So you are missing weight from the trait.
yea pretty close, more about prefference. TB is much easier ot play imo
It's not even dumpister tier single target. It's still 8.71% vs the best single target at 10.88%
I know they don't so you only want one ?
you just wanna TB immediately after an eviscerate right?
2 LM might be fine.
TB before i blieve, it increases all nature dmg
2 Archive might as well, but there's a lot of ramp there.
TB on cooldown on the mob you will be mutilating
With perfect gear, you only want 1 uldir trait, yes. But that's bis gear
ive got two Archive of the titans atm ..
3-4 CP -> TB -> env
oki
but pool energy first
Don't pool if its *not * on CD
