well yea don't hold it for 9 years. you can see it coming off CD and prep for it eassily to squeeze out those numbers baby
The general goal with TB in Raids is the same as it was in Legion, 2 ENV during its' uptime.
But there are plenty of raid logs showing you just fucking spam it, it does not matter yet.
Can. Tb be good in m+ or exs is too good to use Tb. Over
They're both similar
You use Shrouded Suffocation in M+ usually so the case for EX can be seen, TB is very consistent though.
The lower CD means you have more chances to use the ability.
exs feels a little better to me. those big pulls you can exs that huge target and get even more energy regen. it's lit
spam aoe like crazy
and the awkward management with planning CDs before bosses is gone due to its' low CD.
and burn the big guy faster. win-win
you dont at the beginning of an opener
G G G RUP and you are pretty set > _>
with poison procs
FoK RUP will net you a 2-3 CP RUP on another target.
I feel like i have les energy regen than prenerf
You do.
Well, depends on which nerf.
you are talking about.
Recently no, unless there's a bug somewhere.
There is that awkward moment after G G G CT FOK
Yeah > _>"
i definitely have some energy issues until i get ruptures going after GGG->CT
but i run full mastery/crit setup for fort and exang is up every pull so it's nutty
Considering you are not auto-attacking enough to make sure you have Poisons on bleeding targets, it makes sense.
if im not hitting FOK every GCD right as it's up, unless imusing a finisher obv, i could get more energy. and that happens until you get GGG + 1-2 ruptures up. exsang make that even smoother
^this
basically
have energy passive regen and VW energy gain too get over 35energy/sec
simplified, but it should get the point across
is th eopener in the ravenholdt guide still optimal?
For ST yep
Doom's wake 370 harlans loaded dice 345 Myth 2 and Plume of the seaborne at 355. i am trying to debate what two to run right now
What sim do you recommend
Use the top gear sim on raidbots
thank you
can never nerf us
if it sims better for you
atm I have 1 and I can switch it to Archieve
@winter gale
thoughts on : m+. Worth keeping 2x SS and 1 Laser matrix or lose 15 ilvl for 3x SS?
Or lose 45 lol

sim multiple targets? remove reorigination buff?
you can sim for other fight types than patchwerk
6 targets 40 secs
How much can i trust wow analyser ? Say i had nothing major on a fight and i still didn't do to well
6 targets on raidbots is 6 bosses?
How do you remove the array from sims ?
ok. its not that new. but a shitty low 3rd ss didnt beat out a fat scent.
@tiny vapor can override 0stacks in the extra settings.
Why do you want 2 different weapon enchants rather than double haste? Do they not stack?
everyone is now 10+ ilvl ahead and i cant catch up cause fuck azerite
@long steeple they have. DR. sim your solutions
sad day if u play the game to be the same ilvl as ur buddies
i wonder if 1x Scent 2xSS would be good for m+ if the Scent is 370 and the SS is 340
scent is trash
lmfao
ill try it out for sure. think seli said he would run 1 Scent and 2 SS as well on his stream and hes the nr 1 rogue ๐
only semi trolling
braindead btw
if your other dps are big trash packs die in 20s even in a +10 fortified
oh havent seen sry noobe
depends on pack duration and pull size
you sim 6 bosses 40sec?
i do.
when I say high keys I'm not talking about 10s
I know that the 3T pulls 20sec are better. I really dont need to gear up any more for them.
10s are farm
blood rite simmed more for me on every situation @lone junco
aight i sim a bit just got scented shoulders from zul thats why im asking
got the same shoulders 385 from chest
why bother with anything above 10 though
score?
fun, competition, score
fun?
pack duration and mob count matters. the key number doesnt go into the sim
i mean that's fair and all but don't go claiming scent is GG when 95% of people are running <=10 keys
scent is good?
scent scales in large packs with higher crit.
you were the only one to say it's trash
if you cant get 3cps per fok you will be annoyed.
you've been preaching scent in here for days lol
because it's good?
it's kinda bad for what most people are doing
clearly stated imo at the end of my sentence.
tkae what anyone says with a grain of salt
but to say it's trash when hectic cleave sims suggest it's one of our best is a meme in itself
Do we go double dose of Archive now?
raid = x3 archive
Hey I simmed myself comparing toxic blade with exsanguinate and in the exsa sim my rapture did less dps. I dont understand why
hectic cleave was used to calculate the trait weights
and the fight is silly
i have been playing this game a long time, but im still a bad rogue. i just do my best
especially with the triple garrote open.
addcleave has the adds wave in over time.
but we know this.
other classes dont really care about Targets at pull and restealth like SS does tho.
@thick jacinth Hectic Add Cleave would ignore being able to get out of combat right? So it would severely undervalue something like SS
yeah doesn't account for restealth.
@thick jacinth So then it is not worth using for us
so to be honest. here might be my groups problem. big brain here.
because SS is so strong. we pull in packs of 3-4. so I am a god. but because we pull small the others cant ramp their cleave. moonkin lock etc.
so we are worse off as a group for me running ss.
but I look like a ๐ among ๐ฅ
its just a do loop.
that's where ct comes in
yeah. i love me some CT this week.
What are the best M+ Dagger ilvl 370?
yeah like just silence the annoying cunts into the stack
35% of a pull
and unload cts
basically as long as you dont chain pull SS is fine
when ss dmg fades you are left with whatever aoe damage/spreading dot you have
nothing is worse than a tank that doesnt let you restealth
^
@safe matrix Not just fine, superior
.>
i do have a question though: why is it i do more dps, in sim and in an actual raid with master poisoner, and not elaborate planning. genuinely confused
What are the best M+ Dagger ilvl 370?
Question, I just changed from blindside to EP, do you still need to maintain EP in Vendetta at all costs or just do 4-5envenom ?
you're either swimming in mastery
mastery high?
crit/mastery is god in M+
you running double dose aswell?
whats the opener with SBx2 archivex1?
btw. this made me lol. I simmed the hecticaddcleave 40s. and it was 3k below the 6T40. but fok.
idk if double dose is effected by MP
is subterfuge used just for the garrote damage increase?
or do you spam it
until the buff breaks
probably because hectic doesnt have stacked adds at pull so ss value tanks.
sim 2x SS 1 scent vs 1 SS 2 scent
๐
I paid for the raidbots tbh. really handy to have the iterations and short q
and i do use it like 90 times a day. figured i should support.
Ill be supporting it next paycheck for sure.
elaborate planning is a 400 dps increase
I feel better about paying raidbots each month than I do blizzard tbh
have to try it ina real situation
Nothing to try, it just happens
what is a good fight type for m+ trash?
haste/crit is what everyone is focusing on im assuming
hectic add cleave?
I use 6T 20s. or 6t 40s. depending on your groups clear speeds.
no buffs.
if you dont turn off lust it will skew everything.
ok thanks a lot โค
@thick jacinth tbh, I know I dont have the crit to make scent scale. but it is a goal of mine.
I dunked my ilvl so they are all 340 for closer compare.
i did get really lucky and got the pvp event done the first day
and got 395 titanforged legs before the nerf
Whatโs up guys. Has the azerite trait stuff been figured out specifically for m+?
Iโve still been running 3 ss
my best setup appears to be 2ss 1rupture. due to ilvl
How would you sim particularly focusing on m+
Would it be any different or just patchwerk
clearing a lot of adds is the hardest part
mythic trash is always the worst part, bosses are cake
So hectic add cleave?
KR boss on tyrannical would want to have a word with you when that stupid axe toss tick can ko you on 2nd tick
Wow, 1 piece with archive trait is worth 800 dps in my gear
Sisters can get pretty hectical when pushing but it's usually fine 4Head
Sorry, 750 dps
Working as intended
what bug?
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.
oh damn
on training dummy, while keeping up garrote, rupture and envenom, using exsanguinate and vendetta on cooldown...i do like 4k dps with ilvl 311. Details! reports that 25% of my damage is from autoattacks, nothing else comes near it. What am I doing wrong?
deadly poison btw
I know, on subtlety I do alot more
Could be low ilvl daggers
Also I bet you shouldn't be using exsanguinate
325/315
Is exsan still #1? I thought TB had taken over
on my sims TB was better, and rapture was actually accounting for less damage with exsan
TB and Exs are very close and need to be simmed to see which is better at this point
I've had shit luck with pretty much everything - 8 attempts at world boss loot, 0 to show for it yet, to pieces of heroic loot from 6 dungeons... gear will be coming when luck changes, but still wondering why the damage is so abysmal - I mean, as far as I can tell, the rotation is correct.
I'll give it a go with TB
I mean you should sim yourself... if you're getting to your sim DPS then it's just gear and itemization
Honestly without seeing a sim it's hard to say what it is lol
I feel like you shouldnt put so much thought into your low damage, when you are still lacking gear. Usually skills in a specc comes nicely along as you gear up anyway
How did you have 8 attempts at world boss?
So Guys, any good Trait Combinations yet for both ST and AoE?
as long as your dps is close to your sim you're doing fine tbh
4 kills with rerolls
Ah
I'll sim it up, thanks guys
One newbie question, bc I don't really get what the guide says: Which weapon enchants should I use?
But I don't really understand what It says, that's why I ask
What about this do you not understand?
I use deadly main and quick off
Anyone mind giving my logs a look over
Seems to sim the best
and telling me whati did wrong?
how useful is 1 shrouded suffocations for the extra cp in m+?
What for wep enchants are you guys running? Crit Haste or?
Where is the actual notes about Pandemic, is it some unofficial/undocumented thing?
Deadly nav and quick for me
"-Pandemic this term relates to reapplying buffs/debuffs. When a debuff (like garrote) is refreshed, its remaining time (up to a cap of 30% max duration, so 18x0.3=5.4s for garrote) will be added to the new buff. Primarily used to give leeway to reapply bleeds, however can also be used to make bleeds last longer."
Overwhelming Power sims high, but is it still worth taking when many fights have unavoidable damage, which the sims don't account for?
OP doesnt get removed with most raidwide damage/dots
Really? That's actually really cool to know
is the SS bug still there?
ye
Yes
and will probably be for the rest of the expac at this point lul
ye cuz nerfing is cool but fixing isn't
its a feature now
is SS still the go to trait?
do people play 3 scent or is it a no go
1x archiv, and if you go full ST 2x double dose, i for myself still play 2x SS cause you got so much cleave fights in Uldir
can i go 1dd and 1ss?
some go with sharpend blades too so its up to you
sure, sim yourself and also test it what fits you the best
idk why i sim at 10k dps at ilvl 361
show me the sim
sec
i m running some wierd traits
my sims aint that high for my ilvl
but i reach them so i m fine with it
@viral juniper https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/utdH1vpEW2bod4dj4VzYnW with no raid buffs/bl
well
1st of all its hard to get 3x archive from heroic/mythic
unless ur super lucky
i got 3x 
i got 1 archive yet
and thats from normal
so it sucks
i m running laser on 370 head
sylvanas resolve (pvp agility proc) on 370 pvp shoulders
@viral juniper https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9pwBhnY9jAbFC7wrkPBrQw raid buffed
and Rezan's fury on 385 chest ๐
linking armory
Can i see a 14 15k SIM pls?
ct single target
thx
just did one if you want?
@glass cairn looks like your weapons are a bit bad too, they make a big difference
wasn't lucky with weapons
bro
try too farm some m+ for weapons
that crimson tempest talent for ST
also exsang surely is ur top talent on that row?
ik, fucked up
make like 3-4%more dmg with pb, thats it, pb is not a huge difference lol
2xss just 100 deeps less
poison and exsang isnt top dps choices for me atm
i have 3 SS
i have em too, but they suck in raid
changed to pb
ss was the best trait for everything, now its in line with other traits
๐ค
@glass cairn if you update your simc addon you can sim with reorg array as well, which can inflate your sim dps. You do need new weapons though
thats hard to believe tho
pure st DD is better, m+ ss is better
!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.

well check my traits. thats what i had to replace the SS
340 DD armors sim lower than what i have atm
@fluid drift i'll try farm some m+, maybe i get lucky with weps
ugh i really have to start logging...
I should get my neck up. im still only 350 ilvl. but 13.3k ish.
does sylvanas trait proc when in raid ur players die? 
like half players take it slowly
especially when it isnt life and death mattering dps difference in neck
yes it does lol
u were in since the beginning?
When running 2x double dose and 1 archive for raids is the stat prio still haste>crit?
yeah @lone junco how can u still be 350 ๐
i started rogue when lfr got released and i still dont have honored
doing fine in game 
Is 2x ss with 1 archive good for exsqng build in single target for raids?
its not terrible @jolly notch but no longer OP
@candid phoenix honored neck still i guess
Yo I'm sure this has been asked already, but is it worth having at least one ss trait now/
for the 3 combo points
just checked. but ilvl change on neck bumps me to 352ilvl and gain 120dps.
๐ฅ
I'm not running any SS pieces at the moment because they all sim terribly compared to my current gear with MA + TB
raid, im using 2 archive and 1 dagger in the back
funny
Either that or fan of blades ๐ฆ
im running 3 SS in m+ since its strongest dps i can have despite multiple azerite traits in bags

do you guys run CT on Zek'voz mythic? i'm just curious
nothing wrong with ct on zek'voz
@arctic isle is it optimal tho?
vanish for tb.
okies, i have like zero experience with CT so i'll hold off
I usually get asked to go pure ST on zek'voz, so i usually use PB
@arctic isle which fights are a must for CT in uldir?
just zek probably
no fight
is it really worth it too actually stack archiives?
@arctic isle do i just CT on small adds and that's it?
Yeah
i sim 500 dps lower in sin
like, waths the gain? i doubt you get 2x the mainstat boost?
basically irrelevant then lol
I mean most rogue players fall into the 75th
obviously
why play sin even .. fbm
but who wants to be a 75th percentile player?
No one lol
Yeah thats a good point
I guess that bar graph also doesnt account for alot of things also
like traits and optimzation and stuff
is there a written guide for the poison blade build anywhere?
that graph doesnt even ahve DH in
Is wowanalyzer up to date by the way? anyone know?
poison blade build?
you mean with shapend blade stacking? you just use it with full stacks
which m+ dungeons do u guys prefer assassination over outlaw
all of them
all
If i go with DD traits, what talents would be better? im guesisng Master Poisoner and MA?
assa goes ahead
@royal lantern i've heard of people speccing into MA and finisher>vanish>poison blade
just trying to get an idea for the rotation
like obviously try to use a finisher before poison blade for 10% increased damage
Not according to my sim
if exang and TB are about the same on my sim, which should I use for m+?
post sim
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/154063136108969985/492471445163868161/Mage.PNG what does this pic mean?
Thank God
it means nothing
socket is simming for tons atm
@subtle lodge that could be from archimonde from WoD XD
its deffinetly not from this content
Shamans too high to be current content 
fire mage on top? the fuck, i thought fire mage is pretty bad right now, that shit is old af
and dh is missing too
Yeah it is.
So.... i have been reading around and noticing a lot of things saying and showing with statistics that assassination rogues are top tier for M+, but raider.io says one thing and Warcraft Logs says another.... But even looking at top rogues on Raider.io, when i go to armory them, theya re outlaw. So is Assassination rogue or outlaw rogue top for M+ and what is the best bottom row talent for high end M+? Poision bomb or tempest? or hidden blades
just curious has anyone tried Scent of Blood for m+ to help with aoe?
Lol random ass charts.
All three rogue specs are competitive for m+
assassination was just nerfed from being a clear frontrunner in m+
so it comes down to what your group needs
Outlaw is more suited to Aoe though and Assasination single target burst?
with good 3 target cleave
My favorite chart views are when sin is top log for every single % from 15 to 95%. When they can dumpster at 35 50 75 95. It means something is imbalanced.
i feel outlaw may be better for this week in particular
I do love some blade flurry blade rush.
it depends. if the trash mobs survive for more than 20 secs, assa pulls ahead
But down time on cleave def sucks.
My opinion is that you should try to play multiple specs
because the optimal spec changes depending on the week/group
even if you don't no spec is bad
cry assassination fits my class fantasy though, bleeds and poisions XD fuck gun shooting rogues
Yeah weps are insane damage. No way itโs a downgrade
@subtle lodge it means that about 3 years ago assassination was pretty bad
So Iโm having an issue where I notice that my elaborate planning time is about 10% lower than top logs. Any general tips for maximizing uptime on it?
cast more spenders
guys if i talent into crimson tempest in m+, do i use it on st as well?
k that was my initial thought as well
which spec is the strongest atm in raidin?
!spec
All specs are good. Specific ones shine in specific areas.
Check the following resources for the facts:
Warcraft Logs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/19#class=Rogue
Raider.io: https://raider.io/mythic-plus/season-bfa-1/all/world/leaderboards-strict
basically all three are really strong
rogues are 3 of the top 6 dps specs @fluid blaze
is it normal for haste to sim waaayy ahead of agility?
yep
huh, alright
You have to post them, and it really depends on who's here at the time
I'm unfortunately currently busy
yeah i just didnt wanna spam my logs ๐
Also you might be asking at a time where people just aren't here ๐คท
Yeah i guess i will check back in another time maybe ๐
does TB multiplier affect PK?
pk?
pk is physical
what is pk?
player kill
poisoned knife
Do I use Fan of Knives or Mutilate against 2 targets? (noob rogue send help)
mutilate
for the Sharpened Blade trait. having TB on the target doesnt add its multiplier to the damage right?
and 3+ I start using fan of knives right?
yh
thanks princess
okay thanks @velvet kernel
np
@velvet kernel Where are you getting the info? I believe you FoK at 2 targets
unless that has changed recently
According to the guide you FoK at 3 now. Late legion was 2, I think thats because we had more stats
?
More crit ect
Does Elaborate Planning affect bleeds or poisons already applied to the target? Or do you have to refresh dots while its up?
yes it affects those already up
so you can keep it up over empowered bleeds for extra dmg
Ahh got it. thanks
Ok thanks @ripe dock
you mean exsang over poison bomb?
toxic blade sorry
in the middle of raid. doing like 2-3k less dps than my sim~
Feels off
exsang is generally not as powerful now due to the garrote trait nerf
did you run sims?
Should I be running 3x SS for m+ I also have 3x SB should I be running that with raid?
you should sim the combinations you have available first and see from there
@half mortar high m+ rogues are still using 3x SS
Do we know the proc rate on Harlan's Dice?
So Iโll try in raid this week with longer single target fights
as for raid you should sim tbh
depends on so much, ilvl and stats ect
as for raid you should sim tbh
@wintry parcel 1 rppm, prob reduced by haste
Thanks, @spice surge
for example my highest simming is 1 Matrix, 1 Double Dose and 1 Unstable Catalyst
Wowhead always has the rppms available if you're curious about other trinkets/effects
I had searched Wowhead, but didn't find it. Guess I didn't look hard enough. I'll wander around it a bit more
Press the spell of the trinket (ie the green equip text)
Is it more important to keep up EPLanning or the buff from Envenom?
Not sure @hexed meadow but defo better to keep EP up over empowered bleeds
but generally I try to clip envenoms into ep at 0.1 sec after ruptures or during burst windows
So anyone have time to check my logs and give me some help/tips?
For the guys not using SS traits have you guys been using MA instead?
I have a 365 galecallers and 365 dice, which one would be better to run in raid?
obv gale sims higher
but dice doesnt have movement rng
... what other trinket do you have that you cant run both?
not sure on the best way to use 2nd vanish but API just used it on CD with whatever was available
even vanish muti envenom muti
rather than waiting for 5cp or TB
@hollow stone fathoms
Those should both beat out fathoms. Are they not on your sim?
really?
do archives of titans stack?
uhm what azerites do we pick for single target ?
My highest is 2xSB 1xAOTT
according to hero damage you can expect dice to contend with fathoms at around 370-375
Is garrote pandeminc 4.8 or 5.4?
Single target, in raid.
and gale just wins out at that ilvl
out of raid would that archive be double dose?
do you use SB on max stacks i guess right
29+, but yeah, it's 1AA away from 30 so, lol
have you guys been using poison bomb or CT for fortified 10s?
since the issue this week is adds and not bosses, id do CT
CT will do more overall damage, poison bomb will be about 2%
so on mythic zek, should i just CT as a finisher while the little adds are out?
maybe worth on tyrannical keys
anyone here done M zek yet?
there's like 6 adds up, should i CT as finisher with that many adds?
yes
I was progressing on him today, wasn't sure if I should use CT tbh. Adds need to die fast but there are classes suited to that and it's a waste for the rest of the fight so not sure
thank you @arctic isle
noob question: how do i get stacks of reorigination arrays? currently have 3
every week, when you kill 3 bosses (lfr nm hm or mm)
every week you defeat bosses
so basically 3 bosses is 1 stack?
but only 1 stack per week?
yes
If i were mostl;y concerned about killing the mobs fast I would probably go outlaw over CT on Zek
I guess it depends on how well the raid handles it and if the extra dmg is needed
We had blood DK grip the adds when they spawn and monks use the ring to keep them stacked
works pretty well
hi, i see in the guides that rogues have pandemic, but do their bleeds snapshot or are they dynamic? signed, a dirty feral
!wa

How do i look in warcraft logs for the 90th percentile bar graph break downs of all classes?
Can some1 explain to me why the ilvl logs are so screwed. I did a search in this channel but ppl were refering to a SS nerf. Does that have to do with high logs somehow? And what was it?
@vapid flint Top left, click the burger bar, then click statistics and go to uldir option
Garrote cast from stealth/subterfuge when specced into subt
bleeds cast from stealth when specced into nightstalker
exsanguinate snapshots baste on current haste
everything else is dynamic
@ripe dock Thank you
excellent, much less to worry about there - thank you!
Okay so you can only refresh a pandemic grarrote from stealth right or can you also refresh from nonstealth
Ok so not matter what if your in a long fight you will go without a pandemic bleed for some period of time
also, there is currently a bug which means if you garrote a different mob while you have an empowered garrote on another target from SS trait, it willl remove empowered from original target
Can anyone help me on how to analyze my logs to get better? ie: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DGbXaxLcmF9W4tCy#fight=3&type=damage-done&graphperf=1&source=76
no chriss
I use wowanalyzer but it's only told me to enchant my rings and that I wasted 1 combo point out of 7 from my poison knife
when u garrote from stealth or subt u let that garrote drop and instantly reapply it when it drops off
is it worth it to CT a single mob?
@ Chriss yes that is correct you will only have pendemic up after your stealth windows
Okay
How is it possible that there are normal fetid fights where the rogue in my ilvl bracket does 22k dps? and I do 14.5?
@lime briar you are overwriting empowered garrotes
Their fights lasted like 1 minute and all of them had 99 parses
THats the awnser to your question then
The fights are really short
unless your fights are the same length
@obsidian ruin Do you see that as the main issue? Also, how were you able to determine that? Sorry new to analyzing logs
2 minutes I guess than their burst phase is longer relative to the fight lenght
Shorter the fights the less you have to do a full cycle of CDs
Could someone look at my logs for me and help me figure out where I am going wrong?
yeah dont base your dps on fetid kills
For me raidbot said i should do 13.5k dps did 14.2k on that fight and have 38% ilvl parse ๐ฆ
unless your kill times are almost equal to others
ur like double the average kill time girkip
Kay
Fetid gives a damage buff at 50% @green belfry
Aaaah okay makes sense
So depending on how fast it takes your raid to get him down, will determine the best way to use your CDs
Anyone? ๐ฆ โค
Thanks. Made me feel less bad now ๐
@bright shale if you want someone to look at a fight link the log of the fight
u will never get good parses if ur guild is bad
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jQVd3qwv1LWFrkKc#fight=last&type=damage-done
Vectis and Zekvoz.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I'm the only rogue
You can get a WA that tracks how long you can expect the boss to die in. This is a great way to help manage your cooldowns towards the end of a fight
And from what I can tell the main way people loose damage is by overwriting empowered garrotes like i was
I'm mid-raid so if you're actually going to look at our logs. Please PM me comments/feedback.
TB on CD or pool energy for envenom spam?
do both stormm
๐
not needing to refresh rupt is also a plus
Do the guides in the pin specifiy whens the best time to pool rather damage?
I've always found it difficult to try time rupture before TB
not sure how that would work really
Or is it just pool before cds
They have the same sims
i'm sorry one more question about the guides, because this does not compute to me, coming from the furry side - 5 cps is not necessary for finishers? 4 is really ok?
@celest basin its cause mutilate always make 2 cp so if you cast when u have 4 cp you waste one cp
ok so the waste is detrimental enough to avoid. . . that makes sense, thanks ๐
๐
Regarding not having rupture in TB, I will refresh as early as possible around 7sec before hand if I can, but is there something else I could be aiming for?
@PvP question what are the arite traits to use in arena atm? 1xSS and? and best second ring azerite traits?
hey so for the exsang build, do you just pop galecallers with vendetta, and on cooldown after that?
Can someone pls look at my logs would be super grateful ๐
Also if u don't wanna waste cps on mutilate u could always throw a knife to gain that last combo point, but it't rarely usefull @celest basin
i just couldn't fathom not having 5cp for anything other than like, 'fuck my rip is falling off and i'm specced sabertooth'
i understand better now, but that's also good to know --- i take it ruptures should be 5cp and it's the envenoms that don't matter based on what i've heard here?
I'd only really use knife for the extra combo point in some pvp situations
rupture at 4 also
please guys i need help ๐
Rupture damage is always the same regardless of CP spent
Its just the duration that changes
RE: bloodmallet, do you want to have double dose or shrouded suffocation?
Refresh rupture with no more than 7.2 seconds remaining at 5 combo points, or 6 seconds remaining at 4 combo points
Tb still good yeah?
thanks! it will take me a bit to shake the muscle memory but i appreciate knowing the logic behind it
which spec is top M+ dps atm
awesome ty
Outlaw has great cleave and is almost passive with the way blade flurry works, which makes focusing on important interrupts and machanics on trash a bit easier aslong as you know the single target rotations pretty well. Assa still has strong bleeds with 3x SS and has good consistent boss damage but can be a lot to manage until your used to it while doing mechanics on trash. Sub has excellent burst phases and can use aoe situations to nuke priority targets, so it depends how your group is killing trash
@ripe dock Do you want to go for x3 SS still?
Does anyone know if the raidbots statweight generator is reliable or is their a better source for a pawn string
They're reliable as long as u know how to use it correctly
Kinda hard to mess up tho

ยดยดyou dont need stealth too do dmg as a rogue, dont cry about not re-stealthingยดยด random dk pug tank 2018
If you have Exsanguinate coming off cooldown soon (<10s), should you refresh your rupture or Envenom instead?
@ripe dock https://wago.io/HJe5_pfNm
I mean, your garrotes only do like 300% of regular dmg now compared to 500% before
So restealthing is now useless confirmed @royal lantern
dunno why but SB are siming higher than DD for me ๐ฎ
It's strong atm Hazuki
but in bloodmallet they DD has an higher value than SB
A lot are aiming for either 2x DD or 2x SB atm
the*
also depends on your stats, ilvl, ect
i see
3xSB is stronger than 3xDD
but we will probably want to use one of the uldir traits, and 2xSB and 2xDD are closer than 3x
His auras look pretty slick @nova gazelle I might try it for Outlaw
i legit love em
3xSB isn't stronger than 3xDD, you're not on your target 100% of the time even on NORMAL.
just talking about sims there sorry if wasnt clear
Sims telling me to either 2x archive +1xDD or 2x archive+1SS depending on talent

Great! ^^
Haven't tried outlaw yet, so I wouldn't know it this aura is good or not for it, but I would believe so, since I find it really good for both assa and sub ๐
Do you exsanguinate on CD or should you use on a 5cp rupture + full garrote?
On mythrax (heroic) how do yall do adds as sin?
Do you just garrote rupture and move on?
Maybe try to use vanish
to try and get multiple garrotes
@lime briar always refresh, no real point in doing it on CD if you end up doing it with a 3 second garrote and 6 second rupture
then you just spend the next few globals getting thos eback up anyway lol

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.
I need one of you Gosus to help me go through my parses ๐ญ
Does anyone know of any WeakAuras that can help me track bleed timers
(ie: on aoe packs)
eyes
I don't think there are any WA that track AoE bleeds, that would be pure disaster and messy, ur better of using frames for AoE bleeds
Anyone able to help me out with my logs from tonight? No idea where I went wrong
U can start by wow analyze em, that usually tells quite a bit of improvements
is Sharpened Blades x3 the best single target now
need a UI for tracking SB
or WA

nice, I still got some time, it's 4am here in sweden
what stats are people looking at for M+? on the fence due to haste simming low for aoe but high for ST
Whatever works for you dude. There is no cookie cutter way atm. Based on your ilvl gear, your triats and how you play is what you should do.
ok thanks
I see so many people asking whats bis. Best way is to sim yourself. Spend 200k on reforging traits etc and make it work :)
Fkin reforge system sucks
I've litteraly gotten into 10 BGs with 0 healers, can't win, fucking blizz..
I agree on the reforge system, way to expensive, should be a cap at the very least
I know archive is our best trait right know but does it stack? Should we have more than 1?
Does it matter which order you enchant your weapons. highest stat main 2nd off or visa versa make any dif?

BUGS
-Shrouded Suffocation is currently bugged as of sept 19, If you apply 1-3 garrotes in subterfuge, and then apply another garrote outside of subterfuge, all of your garrotes lose the shrouded suffocation multiplier. The subterfuge multiplier still stays. If you apply a Shrouded Suffocation buffed garrote, ALL your active garrotes gain the SS bonus aswell.(editado)
Does this means that if I put, say, 5 garrotes w/o the SS buff and them apply one with the buff. All 6 will have the SS buff?
@short flint no, i dosen't
hahaha
it*
ty!\
How many ilvls is a socket on a weapon worth?
idk, you should probably sim, since stats could change that ilvl difference (say you have a weapon w/o socket with bis stats and a weapon with sockets but shitty stats)
Anyone have any idea how to code Details! to show interupts PLUS cc? or include garrote silence for that matter?
Best talent/trait setup for M+ rn?
asap question, how do you use crimson tempest properly, after you have 3 garrote and 3 rupture do u just spam all finishers into CT or only refresh CT when the bleed ends?
No ideia, but have you simmed better with Crimson Tempest?
Q: So as far as azerite traits go do things like toxic blade affect Double dose?
layent: it's pandemic i think so don't spam CT but do use it fairly often.. just refresh after a few sec
Toxic blade only increases nature dmg
no asking for mythic zekvoz
so poison damage isnt considered nature damage?
so problably
someone simed 3 DD's with poison master?
like does Rezans bleed get effected by EX?
i havent been parsing well in heroic and idk why. can someone look over my log?
(slippsy)
id compare your log against someone else who did well around ur ilvl see if they are doing something like casting rupture on adds more
well if something dies with rupture up u get energy back too
so more energy
more muti
Currently playing as outlaw because weapon drops are killing me, and trying to decide how to do my traits. Does it matter too much if you stack traits or is maybe 1/2 of one and another one fine?
Switching back as soon as I get a second dagger lol

after the opener when specd with exsan when do you want to use it again?
off CD or hold it for vanish when you can mimic your opener?
when you've just reapplyed the DoTs

anyone using Devlin's WAs? there are 2 timers showing up on all my skills
Soo. Anyone playing sin on zekvoz or do i just give in and go outlaw? (On mythic)
Because all the top sims are outlaw
I went ct and my add dmg was still low comparatively
so how is toxic blade build now?
Why did they have to Nerf SS so much. I was just starting to catch our boomkin...
Is exsanguinate only good if you have SS?
It's still simming the highest but I've tasted goodness :)
exsang is bad now because of ss nerfs from what i understand
It Sims higher than TB
I'm assuming it sims higher only if you have 3x SS
gotcha, exsang still sims 1k dps lower than sub now
for me it was a difference of 100dps and that was before the nerf
Yeah I am running 3x SS though. Been trying to test out sub but it's a significant gameplay change
Is there a guide anywhere I can read to learn how to analyze my logs? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DGbXaxLcmF9W4tCy#fight=3&type=damage-done&graphperf=1&source=76
Or if anyone has tips
@lime briar https://www.wowanalyzer.com/report/DGbXaxLcmF9W4tCy/3-Heroic+Fetid+Devourer+-+Kill+(3:41)/76-Girkip
i was disappointed that my dps in details didnt match the dps on the logs
my parses are SO LOW on some of the fights in uldir ๐ฆ
We just finished Zak and got vec to 3% but so much movement I'm just not sure how to sustain dps like all the ranged pleebs. It's like why even have melee. (Heroic)
thanks @nova gazelle
np ๐
do you guys pool energy for a 5 cp finisher to make use of elaborate planning?
would 1 lazer matrix + 2 ss perform better than 3 ss in m+?
@nova gazelle thx for that link, its highlighted improvements for me
I'm confused why Sin is simming so much lower for me than Sub? I kind of want to play Sin but that difference SEEMS like a lot on paper, in practice maybe its closer. Any advice?

is it TB now?
i waste alot of energy
i have 2 SS and 1 matrix
Do the secondary azerite traits matter that much? @steel abyss
I only have the outer ring and I'm simming lower compared to you at 358 ilvl
@lime briar I'm not sure, admittedly i'm pretty noob with simming lol
@steel abyss Same here lol, what are your secondary stats at?
I'm at 689 crit, 1055 haste, 797 mastery
do we still vanish rupture? or just garrote?
the ravenholdt guide says vanish garrote garrote
but ive seen infexious do vanish garrote rupture garrote
what about for people without ss?
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
read this
i did
@lime briar you sim lower because scar is simming with he uldir trait at 3 stacks
@steel abyss you sim higher as sub because better traits
if you read it then it very clearly outlines the opener
oh i see. thanks @sand whale
thanks @sand whale
@runic gorge if you took subterfuge it will always be a garrote after vanish outside of opener, you can g g _ or g _ g if you took NS then vanish rupture
um right g x g , g g x
knowing that most fights aren't patchwerk, do you think the difference of 675 dps between sin and sub would really differ that much in practice? Sin def seems less punishing from my experience,
depends on your raid
how do you guys sim for m+?
is subterfuge still the go-to talent, even w/ the SS nerf?
are the sims crazy enough for the poison knife?
1 SS 1 DD is simming higher than 2 DD
weird
chest is archive
i thought it would be opposite
you can sim for m+ by changing a few conditions in raidbots e.g. 4-5 targets at 30-40sec duration disabling all raid buffs
and I have no SS traits currently and subterfuge is still a clear winner so I can only guess that with even 1x ss subterfuge always wins regardless if you ahve ss traits you should just take it
@sand whale does it count in that i restealth after every fight?
Yes
no but it gives you an idea of your dmg output on a trash pack with 4-5 targets that last around 30 - 40 seconds, you can set the condition
the thing is i have 370 azerite pieces without ss and 340 ones with ss, after playing a couple of dungeons i cant decide what worked better, maybe its so close it doesnt matter idk
anybody already playing with master assassin?
sharpened blades that good? seems odd that if you have 2, its somewhat decent
you're casting an ability that isn't normally part of the rotation- having just 1 brings the downside of spending energy on it, but the 2nd and 3rd are just pure damage increases
I prefer having one SS for the combo point generation
i have 2 SB and it did about 6% in a 2 min fetid hc fight
I'd probably wear an item 20 ilvls under another just to have an ss trait.
i feel like 1 ss for m+ is still minimum i want for the cps like you said
Yep
i just wish you would unlock the traits 1 time per piece and can swap between all of them ๐
sucks so badly that i am forced to play subterfuge in m+ due to the silence effect. maybe not in all dungeons but most of them.
got not a single SS trait
in high m+ keys iron wire and subterfuge is just insanely strong
i dont think iron wire does anything tbh^^ on low keys no one cares, on high keys no tank is tanking
every tank is kiting
after initial aoe stuns etc
Lack of burst opener dps now without ss just feels like shit. Opening at 20-22k now with TB. What are folks running trait wise now in raid? I have 2 mutilate and a twist atm, blades didnโt seem worth without 3 stack
would master assassin really change stuff tho? 3sec 50% crit is like the time you need to garrote, rupture, vendetta
buff gone
yay
after vendetta and you have the energy increase
sure the vanish after is nice, but its still not auto crit and only 3 globals
I was doing great on tuesday and today in our heroic uldir run my energy regen is not working ... I mean its super slow... i logged relogged deleted addons repaired ... can't figure out what is wrong
so SS x1, 2x SB?
why are people saying 3 ss are still bis
gotta be any specific spec for the zul mythic rogue strat?
sub
have to be?
i just fail to see how sharpend blades is that good
basically they kept the crawgs alive and used 5 sub rogues to burn down zul insanely fst
Uh maybe a dumb question but is it possible to farm azerite gear by rolling the seal (idk what is it in eng the thing that gives additional loot) in m+
nope, because you reroll your chance on the chest
you can only get azerite through the chest
and the chest cant contain azerite
the weekly chest*
it can't contain
erm, can*
and if you don't get one, it raises the chance next week if you get a chest
the end of dungeon chest*
oh ya, correct
Oh thx bois
Hmm so azerite farming will be excruciating for me
If i don't get one this week
azerite farming doesnt exist after 340 pieces ๐
Can't get more higher gears for other parts easily since its all 370 or near 370
And my azerites are 355/340/340
Ok this seems just like softcore legion legendary
2x 370 head, 370 shoulders, 355 chest, rest 370+, but traits on those azerite pieces suck
so i run 340 , 340, 355
" oh you got a great piece of item you will never get in a while! But wait you didn't "
Hmph gonna wish uldir gives me sth this time
so far still better than 4months without good legendary xD
Yeah I just wish this doesn't get absurd as we farm higher gears
Where azerite also becomes so rare
i just dont get why their new promoting system is locked behind rng and id walls
It really sucks not being able to wear higher ilvl gear for any reason
Are u suppose to sacrifice ilvl for ideal traits? ๐ค
I mean 15 ilvls is something too
i wont make too much of a difference, but whenever there is one, people want to have the edge
