@rancid bobcat you can just change the weakaura ^^

rancid bobcat
#

been checking

#

Found an old one and trying it out

empty tide
#

aoe crimson build you focus mastery?

rancid bobcat
#

I have 0 weakaura editing experience Monka

hollow stone
#

Sb is sharpened blade. We use sob or scent for scent

#

Generally, obviously

mellow cypress
#

I have 2x archive pieces but I’m not sure how they stack.

hollow stone
#

It doubles the agi you get per stack

mellow cypress
#

And also I’m mainspec outlaw and it’s stacking mastery for me which is my worst stat lol

hollow stone
#

So instead of 12 every 5, you get 24

#

Ohhhh array stacks

open elbow
#

Ok ty. Do you know if there is anywhere a list of the best defensive traits ?

hollow stone
#

Gotta clarify

#

Array stacks dont stack

mellow cypress
#

Yea they don’t.

hollow stone
#

+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

vestal wren
mellow cypress
#

So I’m gettlike like 225 mastery which is my worst stat lel

hollow stone
#

Do what i said

#

It works

vestal wren
#

its just a slightly modified version of my weakaura (basically just removed the combo stacks and enabled it for all rogue specs)

weary verge
#

So the dev was wrong about procs affecting it then?

mellow cypress
#

@hollow stone that’s awesome I’ll try it tonight

#

I’m guessing I have to have my array pieces on at minimum

rancid bobcat
#

Neat

errant beacon
#

Hi, how does assa handle higher keys now with the trait nerf?

clear jacinth
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
quasi ledge
#

Exactly the same, you just do slightly less damage

errant beacon
#

ok thank you

strange python
#

on aoe packs should i be rupturing more than 3 targets

#

or just 3 targets then start ct

drifting hare
#

great. if I unequip my 3x garrote trait (361) and equip my uldir azerit gear (367) I do lesser dps by far

mellow cypress
#

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

drifting hare
#

inside too

outer acorn
#

well

drifting hare
#

im in uldir atm

outer acorn
#

are you using exsang or toxic blade

drifting hare
#

thats why im kinda confused

#

exang

outer acorn
#

there is your answer

strange python
#

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

errant beacon
#

garrot trait still bis? Cause blood mallet ranks it lower than other

outer acorn
#

for m+ it is

#

for raiding its bad

drifting hare
#

garrote bad for raiding you mean?

errant beacon
#

so still worth stacking in plus? must reroll my gear again i guess

strange python
#

depends what you have, thats why you should sim yourself

#

if you have only worse its still your best option

drifting hare
#

when I equip my 367 gear i have 2x titans 1x garrote trait

cunning blaze
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
drifting hare
#

and im losing significant dps

#

cant be the case

outer acorn
#

1 garrote trait

#

isnt worth using

#

its either 2 or none

strange python
#

try something with 1x ss ( highest ilvl ) 1x archive and 1x DD or infusion

gray shuttle
#

Guys guys assa is currently not viable in raids guys

daring imp
#

@outer acorn BUT I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSEEEEEEEEEEE 😦

strange python
#

battlefield focus sims surprisingly high for me

cosmic forge
#

Regarding EP talent. Is there any mechanical play around it or just nuke and ignore?

gray shuttle
#

Not viable spec end of the story

strange python
#

what are you talking about

#

i still do 18k on mother

daring imp
#

"not at the top, ded spec"

strange python
#

but i have to admit id rather play outlaw because its way more fun to me

#

but cba azerites again

gray shuttle
#

All the groups and guilds expecting Rogues to be top

solid lava
#

Guys archive and laser matrix stack together

gray shuttle
#

i got 4th place in vectis fight and i was replaced

solid lava
#

two archives do not stack

tardy yoke
#

the stat stacks, but not duration?

rancid bobcat
#

@vestal wren how do you change the range on the WA? cause fok is 15 vs 10 yards

lofty sand
#

Then you should roll a DH obviously

#

I hope you're ready to reroll every time blizzard feels like nerfing a class.

gray shuttle
#

Why is MA simming higher though?

strange python
#

is it worth using CT on 2 targets

#

or 3+?

#

and when is it worth using CT as a finisher over envenom

wintry canyon
#

why would sim show SS better than archive of titan

outer adder
#

how do you get 10 stacks of reorigination ray, like hero damage expects?

strange python
#

fs

wintry canyon
#

In a build made of SB

vestal wren
#

@rancid bobcat you can change this to 15 (custom trigger function, trigger tab)

strange python
#

kill bosses and wait a week

open elbow
#

Do I have to sim to choose between TB or Exsang, or it depends of the situation ?

strange python
#

you sim

rancid bobcat
#

Thanks

open elbow
#

Ok

cloud finch
#

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?

drifting hare
#

so what's currently best for uldir raiding? sub or assa?

#

single target wise

vestal wren
#

what sims highest for you? (take that)

hollow stone
#

Ma is simming highest for me

#

Get dem sims goin

visual token
#

I hate the sims tho

#

Boring game

cloud finch
#

yea i had it queed up, i was just curious if there was a reason for it

drifting hare
#

"sim whats best for you" is just confusing. broken game if you have to sim what to play

hollow stone
#

Sims are bae

sonic spindle
#

You don’t have to sim what to play, just play what you like

solid parrot
#

It's not required

#

but if you want to min max

sonic spindle
#

Sims are for playing your best

hollow stone
#

Then dont sim if you dont want to. Nobody is forcing you to minmax lol

visual token
#

How dare a tool exist that can tell you what is best for your current gear.

hard quarry
#

@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! 😃

drifting hare
#

yea but theres something wrong if I have to replace 367 with 361 3x garrote trait

#

to do more dps

lone junco
#

@drifting hare you don't have to be good either.

#

Just pick Willy nilly.

drifting hare
#

i would like to improve and be helpful for my guild.

sonic spindle
#

That’s not the sims fault, and you don’t have to.

drifting hare
#

but in the last weeks its just confusing

hollow stone
#

Then you should sim

lone junco
#

+/- 18% is nothing really.

sonic spindle
#

Can you link the sims showing the disparity in dps?

hollow stone
#

Yea. I spent about 2hrs pre raid on tuesday sinming. If you want to do your best, its the best way to do it

lone junco
#

If you have trouble interpreting the sim. Or if the results are ideal for a specific fight. Then ask.

solid lava
#

assa is the best DPS atm

solid parrot
#

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

lone junco
#

Sims are not god. Just a piece of the puzzle.

1/3 sim. 1/3 fight timing and actual logs. 1/3 player skill.

drifting hare
#

sure I can sim my gear after raid

glass cairn
#

what traits should i be running in uldir ?

#

got archive atm

#

and the rest are ss

strange python
#

@lone junco you had much time to play around with SB?

lone junco
#

I sim during raid. lol. Before I decide to keep an item Ive already run it in st and cleave.

hollow stone
#

Exeo has been playing sb

strange python
#

@lone junco lol i do the same :)

grizzled ocean
#

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?

drifting hare
#

So my 367 has 2x titans and 1x twist the knife, and my 361 has 3x garrote and with 361 I deal much more

lone junco
#

I tried it. Was not a fan. Went back to archive/SS/ditb.

drifting hare
#

thats what I dont get

#

even through the nerfs and buffs

strange python
#

Ditb?

#

Dagger in the back

#

Nvm

hollow stone
#

That doesnt seem right, @drifting hare

lone junco
#

Deal more or sim more? Cause the archive traits only work in the raid.

drifting hare
#

im 100% sure and confident

strange python
#

I think ill try SB pure ST. Anything with cleave adds ill stay SS

hollow stone
#

In raid?

#

Or m+?

lone junco
#

SB is awkward but has a better peak frequency.

strange python
#

@lone junco i dont even know how to open with it

grizzled ocean
#

SB?

strange python
#

Standard opener but with MA talent

lone junco
#

Apl has it.

strange python
#

Then vanish throw before vendetta ends?

primal gazelle
#

is 1 trait of SS even worth it for m+? its near on the bottom of the list now for cleave on bloodmallet.com

hollow stone
#

Afaik, ma opener and vanish toss right before vend ends or at 29 stacks

strange python
#

Yea thats what i do. Was making sure

lone junco
#

Ma. Garrote mut rupture vendetta mut vanish tb env mut mut env ..... knife at end of vendetta. Around 29stack

strange python
#

@lone junco do you not vanish and throw foe the crit chance?

lone junco
#

It is in the apl sequence.

#

It's not stacked by then

#

Stacks are about 25 apart.

hollow stone
#

I would but maybe noobe is on another level

strange python
#

What is the apl? What is it avbreviated from

lone junco
#

But with GC and lust it stacks during the open pretty quickly.

visual token
#

Action priority list

strange python
#

Ill have to see what happens

glass cairn
#

how can i sim to see if 3x ss is better than 3x dd?

visual token
#

Amirite? Guessing.

hollow stone
#

Actions per litre 😏

drifting hare
#

@hollow stone in raid

visual token
#

Oooo spicy

lone junco
#

The vendetta vanish tb mut env (ma) probably pumps more than a knife.

grizzled ocean
#

Can anyone answer? Does SS is still worth for m+?1 or more stacked? does it makes any difference?

lone junco
#

I use 3ss for m+

visual token
#

SS is good still

strange python
#

@lone junco do you think it would do more dps to ghuun p2 during beam conpared to ss combo

grizzled ocean
#

do u use deeper staghelm in mythic+ or vigor

hollow stone
#

Thats a good one repro, exsang w ss was soooo much dmg during that burn

#

Always vigor

lone junco
#

Idk. I don't like the pure single.

drifting hare
#

im hobbstar

hollow stone
#

That's bizarre @drifting hare

delicate needle
#

harlan's stat buffs scale with ilvl right?

lone junco
#

Exang should fit nicely in that window.

drifting hare
#

i played taloc with 367

#

and mother and fetid i played with 3x garrote

#

look at the dps difference

plain jacinth
#

different fights

hollow stone
#

Its possible the burn phases made the diff.... i cant dive into your logs atm unfortunately

plain jacinth
#

mother and fetid have damage increase mechanics

drifting hare
#

even in burst i was bad at taloc

lone junco
#

Same. I'm on phone. But 2ss 1archive is very good on fetid

drifting hare
#

you can see it the first minute in burst

lone junco
#

Same with tb. W/e

hollow stone
#

I did m taloc this week without any ss and was 98th percentile

strange python
#

@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?

hollow stone
#

So i dont think ss is super important in raid

drifting hare
#

i dont know, could be a case, but I doubt it

hollow stone
#

This is an opinion tho..

drifting hare
#

yea might be correct but I cant relate

cosmic forge
#

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?

hollow stone
#

Thats correct. Ideally, you want to chain ep into ep and not clip it at all

#

But ideal situation usually doesnt exist

primal gazelle
ripe nimbus
#

@drifting hare just looking at ur taloc logs ur not playing right

drifting hare
#

what am I doing wrong?

lone junco
#

@hollow stone I'm not "another level". I just read the apl and look at logs. Then try to do that.

ripe nimbus
#

I did almost 14k with 0 SS on taloc mythic

lone junco
#

Raid dps and fight duration have a huge impact on parse % btw.

gray shuttle
#

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.

hollow stone
#

Yea, thats what i said, another level 😏 @lone junco

lone junco
#

Esp in heroic. Mobs scale with roster and low dps. Or extra heals drag it out.

delicate needle
#

@primal gazelle could be affected by the bug thats pinned

glass vessel
#

raid DPS etc does make a difference wheny ou're trying to push 95+, but you can get 90+ in almost every scenario

blazing cobalt
#

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

grizzled ocean
lone junco
#

I don't do log review on my phone. Maybe someone else can find your losses.

glass vessel
#

unless it's something like zekvoz and you dont get an orb buff where you wont parse well at all

subtle lodge
#

What traits is everyone using now

lone junco
#

Zek voz. Gotta jump for that orb.

#

ESP if you have vanish ready.

grizzled ocean
#

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

lone junco
#

Of course it is still bugged.

grizzled ocean
#

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

drifting hare
#

i knew I wasnt crazy about this

glass vessel
#

it is nerfed lol

grizzled ocean
#

do u see what I see?

glass vessel
#

you might not be using your garrote's properly?

lone junco
#

Can't look. On phone.

grizzled ocean
#

ye it is, but check his dmg (Not u Noobe 😄 obv) but others

delicate needle
#

what about if he links an image in discord can you see that?

grizzled ocean
#

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

drifting hare
#

y

glass vessel
#

fetid takes 50% more dmg in 2nd phase, and lust was out, and he probably had prepots/vendetta etc going on

grizzled ocean
#

check time frames

#

or u did smtg different?didnt check other buffs

drifting hare
#

im doing almost the same everytime depending situation

grizzled ocean
#

average hits are almost double

drifting hare
#

my opener is the same

grizzled ocean
#

on fetid vs taloc

drifting hare
#

i dont know what happened there

strange python
#

@blazing cobalt that statement is not true

manic quartz
glass vessel
#

@manic quartz yes

#

that's probably your best bet for m+ if you dont have 3x SS

grizzled ocean
manic quartz
#

ty

blazing cobalt
#

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

strange python
#

@blazing cobalt high dps can kill a boss prior tp CDs. Ideally to top parse you want to end as your CD cycle ends.

delicate needle
#

@manic quartz try to sim for AOE when thinking about mythic+, boss dps is less important, especially this week

blazing cobalt
#

Youre nit picking

#

I was making a general statement

hollow stone
#

Both of you are correct

manic quartz
#

i do have 3x Archive of titans, shouldnt that make good in higher m+ when the fights prolong

ripe nimbus
#

No one is correct

grizzled ocean
#

he did my double garrote dmg.. like..wtf..

subtle lodge
#

So whats the recommended traits now

drifting hare
#

3x ss like it seems 😛

grizzled ocean
#

he had 1 SS lol and 2 archieves

glass vessel
#

what were your traits?

void raft
#

Ss still for m+ this discord says

glass vessel
#

i meant hey're basically trhe only 2 good aoe traits regardless lol

delicate needle
#

@grizzled ocean shh don't tell blizz its still op

subtle lodge
#

3x SS was nerfed and its still best?

severe ice
#

what 2 weapon enchants does sin use? and does it matter which goes on Main hand

solid lava
#

see

grizzled ocean
#

np ❤ just tell me that to know lol

void raft
#

For m+. Not for raid single target

solid lava
#

the top dps is using archive, laser and ss

harsh gate
#

hey guys is there anyway to see the execute dps when specced into blindside?

glass vessel
#

@severe ice crit/haste for raids

grizzled ocean
#

so just 1 SS and rest is archive matrix yeah

#

brb going to REKT mythic+ 😄

glass vessel
#

@severe ice oftimally you'd prolly want haste in your MH depending on your stat prio, but it really doesnt make a huge difference

strange python
#

@grizzled ocean matrix and archive dont activate in m+

blazing cobalt
#

woe to us poor plebes who still havent gotten an uldir azerite piece yet 😦

strange python
#

@blazing cobalt amen

grizzled ocean
#

I ment in raid, but in mythic+ probably like sims said, but only 1 atleast SS and thats it I guess

indigo epoch
#

Yes they do, u just dont get origination stacks

strange python
#

@blazing cobalt i had 3 heroic drops in 3 resets.

grizzled ocean
#

we figured it out that 1SS is good and op, now does 3 or 1 makes any difference thats another question

strange python
#

@indigo epoch which is where the biggest dps gain comes from

blazing cobalt
#

I got daggers off mother immediately, but nothing since 😃

ripe nimbus
#

I had the #4 best mythic taloc parse on tues and I was using 1 archive 1 ss 1 laser

strange python
#

@ripe nimbus TB i presume?

ripe nimbus
#

Yes I don't touch exsang I hate that shit

strange python
#

Subterfuge still?

ripe nimbus
#

Ya

rough agate
#

just link your armory 😛

strange python
#

@rough agate ?

fossil agate
#

So have the azerite traits nerf hit yet?

grizzled ocean
#

exsang-makes u god in mythic+ 😄

strange python
#

@grizzled ocean CT helps :)

grizzled ocean
#

CT?

strange python
#

I run 3 x ss exang ans CT in m+

#

Crimson tempest

grizzled ocean
#

ah ye

how does one go about choosing between toxic blade and exsanguinate?

does anyone know of any weak auras that can help me track Rupture for aoe

grizzled ocean
#

#

@ripe nimbus you sim 2k higher than me... i hate this rng bullhicky

near swan
#

i have 0 idea how to sim

#

at least quickly

strange python
#

Im 359 item level

grizzled ocean
#

Idd does any1 got any weak aura or smtg, to make easier in mythic+ to dot all around

subtle lodge
#

Whats the best traits for m+

sonic spindle
#

Raidbots makes simming so quick and easy you’ll want to sim

strange python
#

@grizzled ocean tab is your friend

ripe nimbus
#

Just tab

rough agate
#

archives stack yeah? Would 2 archives 1 SS be good

delicate needle
#

^just use a weakaura that tracks dot durations and check them all once in a while with tab

onyx wind
#

optimal? no

#

good? yes

rough agate
#

does anyone know optimal though?

strange python
#

@rough agate it doesnt stack

pastel vault
#

Archives do stack

ripe nimbus
#

The stat bonus yes it does

pastel vault
#

Reorigination doesn't

strange python
#

@ripe nimbus i never knew that

drifting hare
#

2 archives and 1 SS didnt work for me. 3x SS was for me personally stronger

strange python
#

Yea thats what i mean

rough agate
#

ok thanks faux

drifting hare
#

At taloc i played 2x arch

rough agate
#

post nerf?

strange python
#

Hence why you run 1 1 and a trait. Which i feel will come down to either Ss or dose

tropic furnace
#

boys

drifting hare
#

today

tropic furnace
#

mind answering a question

near swan
#

question

drifting hare
#

better try yourself

tropic furnace
#

I'm simming higher with 1x laser 1x dd 1x scent- than 1x laser 1x dd and 1x ss

delicate needle
#

@drifting hare according to bloodmallet lazer and archive do less damage than SS if you have no reorigination stacks, you got any of those?

near swan
#

how do i change gear on raidbots without refreshing stuff in armory?

solid parrot
#

simulationcraft addon

tropic furnace
#

simulationcraft

near swan
#

that works for raidbots?

solid parrot
#

install then /simc will dump your gear on and in inventory

strange python
#

@drifting hare which one are you ?

solid parrot
#

and you paste it into raidbots

near swan
#

thoughts on askmrrobot's new sim?

indigo epoch
#

Probably shit.

#

Havent tried tbh tho

#

Amr is the master of feelcraft imo

vivid hearth
#

you guys have any good WA to track empowered dots and pandemic?

near swan
#

feelcraft?

elder cypress
#

Wat do u guys run for PvP?

drifting hare

indigo epoch

He makes up shit to suit how he thinks it works vs sims

strange python
#

I have 2 bad bosses

near swan
#

ahhh

strange python
#

But i have 359 item level these where 357 or below

indigo epoch
#

Its why his shit never matches simcraft

rain breach
#

w

near swan
#

does the stat weights thing on raidbots generate input for pawn or does it generate ideal stat weights to aid in finding upgrades?

strange python
#

@near swan generates a pawn string

#

To import to pawn

near swan
#

so its basically just my current weight to import to pawn

strange python
#

Yea ans sim.everytime you upgrade a piece

near swan
#

my goal is just to pull my weight

#

which im not doing as sub right now in m+

strange python
#

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

ripe nimbus
#

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

strange python
#

@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

ripe nimbus
#

Oh I play outlaw on the aoe fights because it's just better for that

#

I only play sin for ST

slim pecan
#

Triple archive sims highest for me 355 355 370 🤔

strange python
#

@ripe nimbus i have respectable outlae but i find it very ubreliable

near swan
#

ive seen outlaw pull ahead of sin as well

#

in st

strange python
#

@near swan it is ahead on sims at mpment ST

solid parrot
#

Outliers though

#

Oh ^ hmm

slim pecan
#

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..

fossil agate
#

Outlaw is the most unreliable spec with the most variation pull to pull so It can be better but also can be much worse

@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 anyone give me a quick run down of AOE priority

#

I cant seem to see it on the site

oblique flax
#

did they stealth nerf the SS trait today?

wheat zealot
#

Someones a bit behind

pastel vault
#

They not-steath nerfed it

oblique flax
#

thought the 40% only was for pvp

wheat zealot
#

Lol nop

zenith oak
#

no

soft island
#

Rofl

oblique flax
#

oh shiet

#

haha

wheat zealot
soft island
#

Dis duuude

#

😂

oblique flax
#

what are u guys goin atm then?

soft island
#

Trait called unsubbed

oblique flax
#

u have 3 of those?

soft island
#

Just one. It's BIS

oblique flax
#

oh ok

agile quail
#

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

oblique flax
#

SS is still prolly bis for m+ no?

soft island
#

Or hunter

agile quail
#

It's fine in m+

oblique flax
#

sharpened blade is so awkward to play imo

strange python
#

are people still crying over SS

soft island
#

SoB is probably bis for m+

wheat zealot
#

Yeah SB is hot garbage

oblique flax
#

which one is SoB?

agile quail
#

Get a wa for sb, it's just medium fine

wheat zealot
#

Scent of blood

soft island
#

Scent of bloooood

oblique flax
#

i can respect that trait

wheat zealot
#

I dont have trouble counting stacks, just dont like sb playstyle

lone junco
#

If the completely deleted SS. Scent would be good with large pulls and high crit.

ruby idol
#

3xss is still very strong in keys

lone junco
#

Thanks dad.

ruby idol
#

Its just not also busted in raid

sand whale
#

been playing a few without 1x ss .... feelsbadman

oblique flax
#

what are u guys playing on patchwerk fights? if u have to go assa

sand whale
#

I want mah cps

wheat zealot
#

Whatever sims highest @oblique flax

soft island
#

Check logs, sim your self

oblique flax
#

aight

strange python
#

@ruby idol agreed. Mix it with crit mastery gear and CT and you have solid aoe

lone junco
#

@sand whale I'll prob transition 1ss 2scent for m+. But doesn't seem necessary yet.

ruby idol
#

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

slow temple
#

simming mythic + how mnay targets do you use?

oblique flax
#

if u have 3 ss trait for assa u will be owning in mythic +

#

still

wheat zealot
#

Nah a dh will wipe the floor with you

#

All day

oblique flax
#

dhs are trash

#

xd

sand whale
#

yeah @lone junco I hoping they bump sob up a bit too

ruby idol
#

We're just not clearly the best m+ spec in the game anymore

strange python
#

@wheat zealot im doing 25k+ on m+ trash

wheat zealot
#

Dhs you play with are trash, maybe lol

strange python
#

And then on ST noone beats me

ruby idol
#

Which we were. Things are fine

prisma crescent
#

"DH does better aoe than u, so dont try to do well in m+"

#

lol

wheat zealot
#

Just saying youre not gonna beat everyone just because you have ss

#

Its not like that anymore

strange python
#

I run m+ with 1k plus raider io players in 370+ gear and i can out dps them in 359

prisma crescent
#

im rerolling DH for trash dps

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.

ruby idol
#

When you pad on infested packs you can beat anyone :)

strange python
#

Even ST not just aoe padding which is still vital for clear speeds

oblique flax
#

oh shiet that bug is aids

lone junco
#

Dh can't shroud.

#

Neat story.

agile quail
#

Dh can't feint or cloak either

pastel vault
#

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

serene hinge
#

So is everyone dropping shrouded suffocation for sharpened blades now then?

vast mulch
#

Well fuck me the ss bug is still there

lone junco
#

Sharp knife is garbage in m+. SS is still bae.

#

Of course it is

vast mulch
#

How can they not that ffs

fossil agate
#

how bad was the SS Nerf?

serene hinge
#

I mean for raid I guess

vast mulch
#

The ss bug is like losing 1k dps in n+

#

M+*

lone junco
#

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.

vast mulch
#

I dont have any of those stack traits feelsbadman

lone junco
#

But I still run 3ss in m+.

final stone
#

does matrix work outside of raid

sand whale
#

it sure does

vast mulch
#

But you have to stack inside the raid and have at least one trait equipped so u get the stacks

buoyant tartan
#

so is there an ideal trait to stack in raid now?

fossil agate
#

Bloodmallets sims are so weird compared to public opinion on assassin

hollow stone
#

For multi they are

#

Theyre pretty good for st

fossil agate
#

So SS is just that bad in ST?

hollow stone
#

Just raid on rogue and play frost mage for m+

#

😬

fossil agate
#

lol

hollow stone
#

Its like, 5th or 6th or something for st

#

So its not bad. Its just not too

#

Too

#

God damnit.

#

TOP

barren marsh
#

Lmao

clever wagon
#

so using a non ss garrote while other ss garrotes are up gets rid of the extra damage?

spice surge
#

yes

clever wagon
#

rip

hollow stone
#

@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

modern kindle
#

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*

slow temple
#

second exsan after opener, just pandemic the garr and max combo rup thats it?

hollow stone
#

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

clever wagon
#

so would it pretty much always be worth to use a 5 cp envenom and THEN TB for the cp it generates?

hollow stone
#

Implication here is that you are maintaining bleeds n shit too. Just to specify

modern kindle
#

Alright! Is these a consensus on exsang vs tb?

#

there*

main blaze
#

sure

hollow stone
#

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

modern kindle
#

welp, seems TB is around 50-100 dps ahead then xD

lone halo
#

Anyone know if warfronts can drop azerite armor?

modern kindle
#

is the TB opener still r>g>r>mut>vendetta>r?

solid parrot
#

negative

modern kindle
#

or do you weave in TB earlier ?

hollow stone
#

Depends on your traits. Pins have good opener guides

#

And talents

ripe nimbus
#

If u are reapply bleeds before pandemic u are losing dps tho

hollow stone
#

Yea, thats why i said ideally :p

modern kindle
#

you mean the ravenholdt guides?

outer adder
#

is the website even still accessible?

hollow stone
#

Yessir

#

What website?

outer adder
#

ravenholdt

hollow stone
#

Ravenholdt? Yea

outer adder
#

Won't open on my end, just blank pages

modern kindle
#

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

solid parrot
hollow stone
#

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

modern kindle
#

hmmh alright

#

sadly one of my traits is scent

#

so my choices are scent dd ss or scent dd arch

hollow stone
#

Sob (apparently) is good for m+. Again, just based on what others have said in here. I cant confirm or deny

outer adder
#

opened it with notepad and its just symbols yikes

sand whale
#

I would highly recommend keeping 1x ss at least for m+

proven ice
#

Why would you open a file on an anonymous chat program?

hollow stone
#

If same ilvl, id recommend ss over arch for m+

vast mulch
#

@hollow stone how do I know how many stacks I have

sand whale
#

and given all equal ilvl you can even go 3x ss

vast mulch
#

Thanks for correcting me btw

solid parrot
#

lol

hollow stone
#

@vast mulch 1 for every week youve killed 3 bosses

solid parrot
#

I did make that in sublime

modern kindle
#

Do you still want crimson tempest with scent for the AOE bleed, or would you ened every combo points you can get for ruptures

solid parrot
#

figured it would just be raw text

hollow stone
#

So you cant check until you have an uldir az piece

vast mulch
#

Without having to do anything prior?

hollow stone
#

Yup

sand whale
#

need to kill bosses from what I read

vast mulch
#

Kk thanks bby u the best

sand whale
#

hidden quest

hollow stone
#

Got my first uldir az piece this week, equipped and had 3 array stacks

sand whale
#

kill 3 bosses = 1 stack each week

hollow stone
#

Np my homie

vast mulch
#

I've having bad luck with azerite gear

hollow stone
#

I did too... until this week

solid parrot
#

hmm opened the file w/ apple textedit and looks good to me /shrug

hollow stone
#

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

That is bizarre. Your link worked for me np. Are you at work or something, maybe it's blocked??

#

Whats the best traits to run for m+?

dusky rose
#

ive heard theres something called azirite armor bad luck protection from weekly chests

#

how true is this

hollow stone
#

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"

edgy monolith
#

Fake news

mossy flicker

finally got a fuckin 370 dagger

hollow stone
#

Fake news for sure

ripe nimbus
#

U probably watched to much porn now ur computer is infected

dusky rose
#

ur fake news

#

let me beliee

ripe nimbus
#

Good job Jesus hates u

outer adder
#

rip I guess its just me and porn now

hollow stone
#

Could be worse

ripe nimbus
#

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

hardy mauve
#

i have finally cracked the most important part about assa

ripe nimbus
#

3 heed my call for M+ that's my suggestion

glass vessel
#

in m+ heed my call is like a whopping 1% of my damage even with a 3stack

strange python
#

26 runs to get my boon

#

finally dropped

#

@ripe nimbus i run 3 x ss 3 x heed in m+

#

Works very well

glass vessel
#

@strange python grats! im at least 15 runs in 9+'s atm, still nothing

ripe nimbus
#

Are u pulling 1 mob at a time. It does like 3to5% of my damage

strange python
#

@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

#

freehold is next

idle knoll
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

going to do dice boon

glass vessel
#

@ripe nimbus nope, thorughout all of my m+'s i always look, regardless of small or large pulls it's always below 2%

ripe nimbus
#

I have 370 boon it's amazing

#

Do u have low ilvl azerite?

glass vessel
#

340

#

for my SS's at least

ripe nimbus
#

Okay mine are 385 370 370 so maybe that's why

strange python
#

@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

glass vessel
#

yea that makes more sense

strange python
#

I have 359 item level

#

@ripe nimbus yea i have only 3 x 340 bits
3 weeks normal and hc bosses no luck

#

Even bonus rolling lol

glass vessel
#

personal loot lolol

fickle viper
#

Hey, can someone explain how Haste interacts with rupture/garrote and also with Exsanguinate? Want to understand how Galecallers affects Exsang usage exactly

strange python
#

Alts have 2-3 raid azerite pieces

charred lantern
#

guys what do we like on single target in azerite traits 3x DD ?

strange python
#

@fickle viper it snapshots

#

So generates more dot ticks during its duration

fickle viper
#

So it snapshots haste on rupture/garrote cast, and also on Exsang cast to empower the dots?

ripe nimbus
#

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

fickle viper
#

Is ther any dynamic updating of stats? (also oter than haste)

strange python
#

@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.

hollow stone
#

The interaction is fucky

#

Reprobate has done a good job explaining it

strange python
#

Whereas if you just used GCB outside of exang

glass vessel
#

i never knew this.. i thought it was dynamic. rip

spice surge
#

only haste

strange python
#

It would dynamically adjust

#

If stood in the puddle

spice surge
#

Mastery/crit/damage amp is dynamic

ripe nimbus
#

Master assassin sims 20 dps higher then subterfuge for me oh no

glass vessel
#

ah kk

strange python
#

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

glass vessel
#

probably. its the best trinket by a mile for exsang

ripe nimbus
#

I have 370 boon and exsang is still a 200 dps loss over TB I'm at 371 ilvl

hollow stone
#

Welcome to the boat @ripe nimbus

strange python
#

Thank you for adding that little part to round up the knowledge for those reading /salute

ripe nimbus
#

I think exsang ded after SS nerf

scenic marlin
#

what traits are people currently using for raiding? im having some issues since the SS nerf

glass vessel
#

probs tbh

strange python
#

@ripe nimbus i disagree. Its just not the best anymore. Its the easiest not to fuck ip

#

Up*

hollow stone
#

For raiding specifically, ilvl is king

glass vessel
#

sim yo self, ilvl isnt always king

scenic marlin
#

my 370 shoulders have the agil from rupture then everything else is 340

strange python
#

@hollow stone i level is only as good as the person using it

fickle viper
#

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?

ripe nimbus
#

If it's not the best it's ded tho... amrite?

strange python
#

@fickle viper recalcs it for the exnag

spice surge
#

@fickle viper Second, only when you cast exsang

fickle viper
#

Thanks for the answers @strange python @spice surge 😃

hollow stone
#

Well, yeah, but if people ask a "cookie cutter question", ima give em a "cookie cutter answer"

strange python
#

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 :)

glass vessel
#

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?

strange python
#

@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

ripe nimbus
#

Raidbot does sim it now

hollow stone
#

Why not 2 arch, 1 dd? @strange python

glass vessel
#

awesome

hollow stone
#

😏

strange python
#

@hollow stone i think its somethinf like arch matrix SB

#

For ST

hollow stone
#

I dont think we want LM in absolute bis raid st gear

strange python
#

I dont have a singlr piece yet so ill take anything lol

hollow stone
#

Archive sims better

glass vessel
#

archive is by far and away the best trait atm. especially with those stacks it's insane

#

for 1 stack at least

hollow stone
#

And theres helm, shoulders, and chest w archive but only helm n chest with LM

fickle viper
#

Is SS stacking still worth for M+, or is Scent of Blood or even just ilvl more value now?

ripe nimbus
#

Overwhelming power is the best ST trait fight me

hollow stone
#

It also would depend on array stacks

strange python
#

@hollow stone looking at sims

#

You want 1 arc 1 matrix

hollow stone
#

Yes, plz enlighten me

#

I cant look atm 😦

summer yoke
#

I've seen some people walking around with 355-360 pvp daggers. Where are these obtained from?

strange python
#

But i may be wrong. As i am presuming they dont take the origination array into account

glass vessel
#

PvP

spice surge
#

😄

strange python
#

@fickle viper SS stack still best for m+

summer yoke
#

@glass vessel thanks asshole lol where specifically?

ripe nimbus
#

Get 500 conquest it's the first reward

glass vessel
#

@summer yoke RBG's or arena's im only playing

strange python
#

Ok if i was @hollow stone i would use 1 archive

hollow stone
#

It just seems odd that with archive simming higher than LM after LM nerf that we'd still want 1x LM, yknow?

spice surge
#

Thought the answer is PvP

#

You get items when you finish arena

strange python
#

Then other off raid pieces

summer yoke
#

I did, it gave me a 345 dagger

glass vessel
#

you gotta get higher rating

summer yoke
#

So out of the chests?

spice surge
#

It depends on your rating

ripe nimbus
#

I got an upgrade to 370 pvp token from pvp chest and upgraded the dagger so I have a 370 pvp dagger

spice surge
#

No

strange python
#

I am presuming the major damage is from reorigination array

glass vessel
#

higher rating, better ilvl

flint swift
#

The arena quest this week is for a pvp weapon upgrade, isn’t it?

summer yoke
#

Ahhh ok. Damn. Makes sense though

strange python
#

The stack only adds 476 dps

summer yoke
#

I'm 1600, is that still too low to get a 355 dagger?

spice surge
#

Nop

ripe nimbus
#

I'm 1600 and have a 370 pvp dagger

round ledge
#

@flint swift where you seeing that?

spice surge
#

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

hollow stone
#

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

spice surge
#

And it takes like 10-15 games to get one item (in 2vs2 atleast)

summer yoke
#

@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

strange python
#

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

charred lantern
#

how do you guys open with MA can any1 tell

strange python
#

Ok back to massaging the misses feet

glass cairn
#

hows tf am i simming at 10k wth 360ilvl?

hollow stone
#

Good discussion @strange python

ripe nimbus
#

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

flint swift
#

@round ledge it’s from the weekly conquest cap quest.

peak saffron
#

if stat weights tell me haste is higher than agi, should I still socket an agi gem or just go with haste?

serene hinge
#

do we still run pb for m+?

#

doesnt really feel like it does much damage =/

hollow stone
#

Haste gems fo lyfe boi

flint swift
#

There’s a token that upgrades a pvp weapon

hollow stone
#

I always run ct for m+

spice surge
#

You always run CT in dungeons

round ledge
#

huh

#

guess i missed it

ripe nimbus
#

I've done 14 keys and I run PB

glass vessel
#

inconsistent

fickle viper
#

PB is meager overall dmg

hollow stone
#

Do you really? @ripe nimbus any numbers to back that up? Sorry if this came off as dickish

glass vessel
#

and 2% on bosses. CT is lightyears ahead for m+

hollow stone
#

Not intended to be

ripe nimbus
#

At least u can utilize PB on bosses

fickle viper
#

For like, 50k dmg?

glass vessel
#

it's ~2% of boss dmg vs. CT being WAY better on trash is the thing

hollow stone
#

Give him a chance to answer, guys

glass vessel
#

unless you're in crazy high keys on tryannical i dont think it's worth

ripe nimbus
#

Do u think bosses last 2 seconds on tyrannical week at 14 lvl?

glass vessel
#

no

#

you didnt say "i do 14 tyrannical keys with PB" you just said "i run PB over CT"

fickle viper
#

he did tho

flint swift
#

No he definitely said he did 14 keys

#

Don’t know if he said tyrannical tho

summer yoke
#

@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

glass vessel
#

"ive run 14 keys and i run pb" is not "i run PB speciaclly for high keys"

ripe nimbus
#

Plus a majority of M+ is single targeting a prio target down

glass vessel
#

then why no sub?

ripe nimbus
#

Because I don't like sub?

flint swift
#

@summer yoke did you turn in the weekly cap quest?

ripe nimbus
#

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

summer yoke
#

@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?

ripe nimbus
#

Rated pvp rating*

daring imp
#

single targetting a prio target down? how?

#

if you treat m+ now like you treated legion you're gonna have a bad time @_@"

flint swift
#

Yeah but apparently you don’t need to turn it in according to critizin. I thought you did but maybe not.

prime void
#

Possibly you have to be combatant ?

#

Are you below 1400 lol?

glass vessel
#

@daring imp Infested

marble hemlock
#

cc infested, cleave, finish up infested

prime void
#

Cc the infested the majority of the time ?

daring imp
#

oh 'cuz the rest of the trash doesn't matter, just the infested? o_o

prime void
#

Like wut

glass vessel
#

it literally doesnt until infested is dead

#

unless it's cc'd which isn't always possible

flint swift
#

Infested is a joke anyway.

glass vessel
#

and not just infested, there's pulls where a specific mob is particularly deadly, and you want it dead asap

daring imp
#

most of the successful in time dgs i've ran were either cleaving them all but focusing infested

ripe nimbus
#

It's not just infested alot of things will wipe ur group if it's not dead first

daring imp
#

there's dungeons and dungeons, a few of them the infested doesn't matter because the mob is surrounded by the weak mobs

ripe nimbus
#

If u go into M+ to spam aoe stay to low keys lol

daring imp
#

that's nice in paper, critizin

#

lacking aoe will just hurt the overall time

#

with or without infested mob on the pack

glass vessel
#

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

daring imp
#

that's a good argument on teeming/fort

glass vessel
#

that's not an argument, that's how it works for a large amount of m+ pulls

#

in higher keys

vast mulch
#

What is the easiest affix combination? Because I'm sure this is one of the hardest ones

proven ice
#

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.

daring imp
#

that's why we kite/cc stuff

#

"we" i mean tanks

silk jolt
#

how much haste is too much

proven ice
#

Haste increases your damage

#

you can never have too much

#

2,147,483,647 maybe?

glass vessel
#

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

proven ice
#

Why don't you kidney shot them instead?

you talking about the small berserkers or the huge guys??

civic palm
#

You can have too much Haste but that would require the scenario you are in the favor other stats. @silk jolt

ripe nimbus
#

U can tell when someone only does low keys

glass vessel
#

kidney shot is ST not cleave, literally my point lol

ripe nimbus
#

Just let them enjoy overall damage

glass vessel
#

true

final stone
#

@glass vessel or in FH lol ut look guys my dmg is littt

daring imp
#

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

glass vessel
#

meanwhile your tanks getting backhganded and buttfucked because you want to cleave the dogs down

#

@final stone lol

daring imp
#

i forgot, we have many pros here, i'm sorry

glass vessel
#

the PB/CT argument was completely different than what we are talking about now

fickle viper
#

Well, it stemmed from that

#

"take PB over CT for prio dmg"

sharp schooner
#

did you win any rated pvp games that week?

daring imp
#

that's literally what critizin argued

#

did you not read it?

glass vessel
#

over bosses

proven ice
#

Please tell me nobody is running PB this week for M_

fickle viper
#

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

marble hemlock
#

PB is for lazy people - change my mind

#

(and tyrannical temple)

sand whale
#

why are people acting like CT someone completely nerfs your st dmg lol

proven ice
#

Like, even hidden dagger would be better, but don't take it either.

sand whale
#

okay I can't englsih

marble hemlock
#

i mean

#

you dont use CT on singeltarget

proven ice
#

You added adde a word

sand whale
#

lol

marble hemlock
#

the 2% PB does arent really gonna help you kill the boss or smth

#

unless youre fighting the goddamn 3rd boss in temple

civic palm
#

heh

marble hemlock
#

that asshole has some PBs coming

sand whale
#

but yes I can sit on berserker on high keys, no PB okay sure maybe my ST dmg on berserker might be slightly lower

azure geyser
#

People take PB in mythic plus during fortified because they’re lazy

sand whale
#

but if it gets to a point your PB makes meaningful difference

fickle viper
#

Is it worth the effort to go for a 5cp CT before you exsang? or not a big deal

sand whale
#

your group sucks

marble hemlock
#

no its not radical

proven ice
#

No radical, it's irrelivent

#

Because you're not refreshing CT in that window anyway, because the other mobs already have it.

marble hemlock
#

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

glossy violet
#

why do you want deadly navigation on mainhand?? what is the benefit of it being mainhand

fickle viper
#

Yeah, but in terms of killing a prio target it does pump some extra dmg in right

civic palm
#

There is none.

pastel vault
#

No benefit

pastel cliff
#

would you guys prefer 3 SS traits for m+ or 2 SS and Titan or Lasermatrix ?

civic palm
#

Use w/e enchantment on w/e hand you want.

proven ice
#

3ss probably

civic palm
#

SS wins in M+

marble hemlock
#

weapon enchants are in alphabetical order from left to right

proven ice
#

Maybe 1 titan 2 ss,

civic palm
#

The stats from Archive are nice.

marble hemlock
#

so deadly mainhand, quick offhand

glossy violet
#

i can do 4ss in the window

void pecan

People arguing with seli.. Phew.

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.

proven ice
#

No you can't.

civic palm
#

You do 3

proven ice
#

lol

#

3ss or 4normies

#

you pick

civic palm
#

3garrote CHADS

#

4garrote bottomofthemeters

proven ice
#

3 gar CT

#

3 garrotes and then Chad Tempest for max dps

glossy violet
#

how do you not do 4? one that puts you out of stealth and 3 in subterfuge window

glass vessel
#

nah you only get 3 total in the window

proven ice
#

Sidd

#

read that wall of text

#

when he typed !ss

fickle viper
#

He means he can cast 4 before subterfuge drops (so they all should be empowered)

glossy violet
#

ok i see

#

chat moved too fast

proven ice
#

np

#

It's been explained to death, that's why it's a macro

glass vessel
#

if you actually manage to get 4 off in the subterfuge window, then it should work? the bug revolves around repplying out of subterfuge

proven ice
#

You literally can't

glass vessel
#

but i've never managed it

proven ice
#

Go try to CS 4 mobs.

#

see if you can

glossy violet
#

what is your haste

proven ice
#

Haste is irrelivent

glass vessel
#

haste doesnt matter lol

arctic isle
#

just get more haste 4head

glass vessel
#

it's GCD

opaque grotto
#

Haste doesn’t change gcd lol

#

For rogue

#

I think

glossy violet
#

clap

proven ice
#

1 sec gcd classes don't get the haste reduction

glossy violet
#

great game

proven ice
#

I would have been way more OK with the nerf if they fixed it at the same time

civic palm
#

The only way to get 4 Garrotes in a SUB window is to Vanish for it.

proven ice
#

Then it's 2 sub windows tho

civic palm
#

but then you could get 6 >_> and not 4.

glossy violet
#

which would be kinda pointless unless a lot of adds

#

unless buff stacks

civic palm
#

Can double garrote 3 adds as well.

glossy violet
#

o ok ok

proven ice
#

Well yeah, on 5 mobs, vanish is a big dick cooldown

glossy violet
#

i am learning

glass vessel
#

it pandemics

civic palm
#

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.

marble hemlock
#

should also have at least 2 ruptures

#

otherwise the garrotes run out and youre starving energy

#

and starving is bad

glossy violet
#

ye

fickle viper
#

you want to wait with the 2nd set of garrotes until they are in pandemic range anyways right

civic palm
#

can RUP and not CT ezpz

#

By that time the mobs are dead.

marble hemlock
#

you shouldnt really vanish agrrote just for dps either

#

usually theres a few mobs you can iron-wire silence

proven ice
#

On +10 fortified, if your mobs die in 20 seconds I want to see logs.

civic palm
#

Any other use for Vanish in that 2min CD?

glossy violet
#

lol

marble hemlock
#

so if theyre still >50% hp the garrote will run full duration, and you get some nice silence-efficiency too

solid parrot
#

yeah silence is p clutch

hollow stone
#

10 fort mobs die in 10 sec w a frost mage, obviously 🙃

fickle viper
#

vanish for chainpulls / delayed infested pulls also nice

marble hemlock
#

yup

civic palm
#

Yarrr

proven ice
#

Not that it matters if the infested is the last mob, but you can restealth in between it dieing and the goonies spawning

hollow stone
#

Ty @proven ice i will now only and always refer to them as goonies

civic palm
#

Yeap.

proven ice
#

👌

umbral axle
#

with the nerf is assassinatino still performing pretty well?

glass vessel
#

ghuunies* c'mon bruh

civic palm
#

We were overperforming before the nerf.

proven ice
#

We'll have to see after this week

glass vessel
#

sin is still great in dungeons don't panic. it needed a nerf, it was a bit harsh, but it's all good

umbral axle
#

well yeah, but is it pretty solidly in line now?

proven ice
#

If we do well in fortified teeming week, there's no stopping us.

civic palm
#

our traits are in line now.

hollow stone
#

I know, niko but then people might read it as guh-hoonies. And that aint right, yo

umbral axle
#

How bout for raids? Still performing well?

daring imp
#

assassinatino is a good name for the spec

civic palm
#

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.

proven ice
#

I understand the nerf. If your best cleave trait is your best single target trait, that's broken.

civic palm
#

Yeah.

#

It's not even about it being BiS by 40% or so.

proven ice
#

Warriors had siesmic wave nerfed for that reason, rightfully so

civic palm
#

Best ST and Multi isn't OK.

marble hemlock
#

if your best trait is 50% better than any other trait, thats a problem

civic palm
#

2 birds 1 stone in this case.

deft locust
#

yep, SS was gonna get nerfed 100% for sure, I just wish they fixed the bug at the same time

#

D:

hollow stone
#

Insert "so buff the other traits" comment here

civic palm
#

Wasn't needed.

glass vessel
#

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

civic palm
#

Buffing other traits would have pushed them over the line that Blizzard wants spec traits at.

deft locust
#

eh, even with the nerf

#

Assassin is still very good

civic palm
#

SS is still King where it matters.

deft locust
#

so I'm not that bothered by the 40% nerf

worn ginkgo
#

Did anyone figure out if having (2) reorigination Array brings down the value ?

umbral axle
#

also, toxic blade vs exsanguinate post nerf, still about the same?

civic palm
#

The passive doesn't stack.

hollow stone
#

Array stacks do not stack

civic palm
#

So you are missing weight from the trait.

glass vessel
#

yea pretty close, more about prefference. TB is much easier ot play imo

proven ice
#

It's not even dumpister tier single target. It's still 8.71% vs the best single target at 10.88%

worn ginkgo
#

I know they don't so you only want one ?

umbral axle
#

you just wanna TB immediately after an eviscerate right?

civic palm
#

2 LM might be fine.

glass vessel
#

TB before i blieve, it increases all nature dmg

civic palm
#

2 Archive might as well, but there's a lot of ramp there.

proven ice
#

TB on cooldown on the mob you will be mutilating

hollow stone
#

With perfect gear, you only want 1 uldir trait, yes. But that's bis gear

worn ginkgo
#

ive got two Archive of the titans atm ..

glass vessel
#

3-4 CP -> TB -> env

umbral axle
#

oki

glass vessel
#

but pool energy first

proven ice

Don't pool if its *not * on CD
