But be proactive

glass vessel
#

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

civic palm
#

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.

exotic abyss
#

Can. Tb be good in m+ or exs is too good to use Tb. Over

proven ice
#

They're both similar

civic palm
#

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.

glass vessel
#

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

civic palm
#

and the awkward management with planning CDs before bosses is gone due to its' low CD.

glass vessel
#

and burn the big guy faster. win-win

proven ice
#

not having infinite enery in big pulls already

#

wut

glass vessel
#

you dont at the beginning of an opener

deft locust
#

I don't think you run out

#

unless you get really unlucky

civic palm
#

G G G RUP and you are pretty set > _>

deft locust
#

with poison procs

civic palm
#

FoK RUP will net you a 2-3 CP RUP on another target.

exotic abyss
#

I feel like i have les energy regen than prenerf

civic palm
#

You do.

#

Well, depends on which nerf.

#

you are talking about.

#

Recently no, unless there's a bug somewhere.

proven ice
#

There is that awkward moment after G G G CT FOK

civic palm
#

Yeah > _>"

glass vessel
#

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

civic palm
#

Considering you are not auto-attacking enough to make sure you have Poisons on bleeding targets, it makes sense.

glass vessel
#

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

marble hemlock
#

^this

#

basically

#

have energy passive regen and VW energy gain too get over 35energy/sec

#

simplified, but it should get the point across

umbral axle
#

is th eopener in the ravenholdt guide still optimal?

civic palm
#

For ST yep

brave gyro
#

welp, 6 rolls on Mother/Zul HC, 0 daggers

#

better luck next week

sand otter
#

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

inner pulsar
#

Why debate?

#

Just sim

sand otter
#

What sim do you recommend

inner pulsar
#

Use the top gear sim on raidbots

sand otter
#

thank you

thin ingot
#

guys im back after a 10 day break

#

did we get nerfed?

sand otter
#

can never nerf us

somber egret

strange python
#

lol boon feels amazing to use

#

you get so much energy

winter gale
#

Should I still have one SS trait ?

#

For the opener?

strange python
#

if it sims better for you

winter gale
#

atm I have 1 and I can switch it to Archieve

inner pulsar
#

@winter gale

clever tartan
#

How can i sim myself for m+

#

Or can i just run 2 SS and a high ilvl azerite gear

cosmic forge
#

thoughts on : m+. Worth keeping 2x SS and 1 Laser matrix or lose 15 ilvl for 3x SS?

clever tartan
#

Or lose 45 lol

thick jacinth
clever tartan
#

How to sim for m+

#

Read before posting that please

thick jacinth
#

sim multiple targets? remove reorigination buff?

umbral axle
#

you can sim for other fight types than patchwerk

hasty sparrow
#

6 targets 40 secs

drifting pulsar
#

How much can i trust wow analyser ? Say i had nothing major on a fight and i still didn't do to well

crystal robin
#

6 targets on raidbots is 6 bosses?

lone junco
#

on to new M+ meta boys

tiny vapor
#

How do you remove the array from sims ?

lone junco
#

ok. its not that new. but a shitty low 3rd ss didnt beat out a fat scent.

glacial steppe
#

i love this game

#

missing one heroic ID because i cant raid this week

lone junco
#

@tiny vapor can override 0stacks in the extra settings.

long steeple
#

Why do you want 2 different weapon enchants rather than double haste? Do they not stack?

glacial steppe
#

everyone is now 10+ ilvl ahead and i cant catch up cause fuck azerite

lone junco
#

@long steeple they have. DR. sim your solutions

long steeple
#

ah fair

#

well good know i've been doing it wrong so far

arctic isle
#

sad day if u play the game to be the same ilvl as ur buddies

golden mulch
#

i wonder if 1x Scent 2xSS would be good for m+ if the Scent is 370 and the SS is 340

thick jacinth
#

2 scent 1 ss

#

if you're doing high m+

#

imo

sharp schooner
#

scent is trash

thick jacinth
#

lmfao

golden mulch
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

sharp schooner
#

only semi trolling

thick jacinth
#

braindead btw

lone junco
#

@golden mulch literally just what I posted. 2ss 1 scent.

#

was my high sim value

sharp schooner
#

if your other dps are big trash packs die in 20s even in a +10 fortified

golden mulch
#

oh havent seen sry noobe

lone junco
#

depends on pack duration and pull size

golden mulch
#

you sim 6 bosses 40sec?

lone junco
#

i do.

thick jacinth
#

when I say high keys I'm not talking about 10s

lone junco
#

I know that the 3T pulls 20sec are better. I really dont need to gear up any more for them.

thick jacinth
#

10s are farm

thin ingot
#

blood rite simmed more for me on every situation @lone junco

golden mulch
#

aight i sim a bit just got scented shoulders from zul thats why im asking

thin ingot
#

got the same shoulders 385 from chest

sharp schooner
#

why bother with anything above 10 though

golden mulch
#

score?

thick jacinth
#

fun, competition, score

golden mulch
#

fun?

lone junco
#

pack duration and mob count matters. the key number doesnt go into the sim

sharp schooner
#

i mean that's fair and all but don't go claiming scent is GG when 95% of people are running <=10 keys

thick jacinth
#

scent is good?

lone junco
#

scent scales in large packs with higher crit.

thick jacinth
#

you were the only one to say it's trash

lone junco
#

if you cant get 3cps per fok you will be annoyed.

sharp schooner
#

you've been preaching scent in here for days lol

thick jacinth
#

because it's good?

sharp schooner
#

it's kinda bad for what most people are doing

thick jacinth
#

clearly stated imo at the end of my sentence.

#

tkae what anyone says with a grain of salt

sharp schooner
#

yikes

#

ur not wrong tho people shouldn't trust what we say in here

thick jacinth
#

but to say it's trash when hectic cleave sims suggest it's one of our best is a meme in itself

upbeat cave
#

Do we go double dose of Archive now?

sharp schooner
#

hectic cleave is a meme already

#

no one should sim using that

thick jacinth
#

raid = x3 archive

inland verge
#

Hey I simmed myself comparing toxic blade with exsanguinate and in the exsa sim my rapture did less dps. I dont understand why

thick jacinth
#

hectic cleave was used to calculate the trait weights

lone junco
#

and the fight is silly

sand otter
#

i have been playing this game a long time, but im still a bad rogue. i just do my best

lone junco
#

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.

inner pulsar
#

@thick jacinth Hectic Add Cleave would ignore being able to get out of combat right? So it would severely undervalue something like SS

thick jacinth
#

yeah doesn't account for restealth.

inner pulsar
#

@thick jacinth So then it is not worth using for us

thick jacinth
#

for accurate SS info no, but when packs are living for long

#

and your ss times out

lone junco
#

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 ๐Ÿ† among ๐Ÿฅ•

thick jacinth
#

you don't need to just pull 3-4 mobs though.

#

to make use of SS

lone junco
#

its just a do loop.

daring imp
#

that's where ct comes in

lone junco
#

yeah. i love me some CT this week.

strange python
#

What are the best M+ Dagger ilvl 370?

thick jacinth
#

yeah like just silence the annoying cunts into the stack

lone junco
#

35% of a pull

thick jacinth
#

and unload cts

safe matrix
#

basically as long as you dont chain pull SS is fine

daring imp
#

when ss dmg fades you are left with whatever aoe damage/spreading dot you have

safe matrix
#

nothing is worse than a tank that doesnt let you restealth

daring imp
#

^

inner pulsar
#

@safe matrix Not just fine, superior

safe matrix
#

.>

sand otter
#

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

strange python
#

What are the best M+ Dagger ilvl 370?

mellow fog
#

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 ?

thick jacinth
#

you're either swimming in mastery

royal lantern
#

mastery high?

lone junco
#

crit/mastery is god in M+

thick jacinth
#

you running double dose aswell?

autumn pagoda
#

whats the opener with SBx2 archivex1?

sand otter
#

im trying to fucs on raid more than M+

#

focus*

lone junco
#

btw. this made me lol. I simmed the hecticaddcleave 40s. and it was 3k below the 6T40. but fok.

thick jacinth
#

idk if double dose is effected by MP

lone junco
#

lol

#

thats a shitty meta

sand otter
#

is subterfuge used just for the garrote damage increase?

#

or do you spam it

#

until the buff breaks

lone junco
#

probably because hectic doesnt have stacked adds at pull so ss value tanks.

thick jacinth
#

sim 2x SS 1 scent vs 1 SS 2 scent

civic palm
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

lone junco
#

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.

sand otter
#

Ill be supporting it next paycheck for sure.

thick jacinth
#

I just wish it wasn't blocked at work

#

zzz

sand otter
#

elaborate planning is a 400 dps increase

urban forge
#

I feel better about paying raidbots each month than I do blizzard tbh

sand otter
#

have to try it ina real situation

inner pulsar
#

Nothing to try, it just happens

vital haven
#

what is a good fight type for m+ trash?

sand otter
#

haste/crit is what everyone is focusing on im assuming

vital haven
#

hectic add cleave?

lone junco
#

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.

vital haven
#

sorry im a little bit of a noob at this

#

what is 6t?

#

6T

void pecan
#

Target

#

6 targets

lone junco
vital haven
#

ok thanks a lot โค

lone junco
#

@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.

sand otter
#

i did get really lucky and got the pvp event done the first day

#

and got 395 titanforged legs before the nerf

thick jacinth
#

hmm the different isn't worth dropping ilvl for imo

#

difference

crude hinge
#

Whatโ€™s up guys. Has the azerite trait stuff been figured out specifically for m+?

#

Iโ€™ve still been running 3 ss

lone junco
#

my best setup appears to be 2ss 1rupture. due to ilvl

crude hinge
#

How would you sim particularly focusing on m+

#

Would it be any different or just patchwerk

sand otter
#

clearing a lot of adds is the hardest part

#

mythic trash is always the worst part, bosses are cake

crude hinge
#

So hectic add cleave?

sand whale
#

KR boss on tyrannical would want to have a word with you when that stupid axe toss tick can ko you on 2nd tick

thick jacinth
#

nani

#

the only hard tyrannical dungeon is temple and it's just overtuned

inner pulsar
#

Wow, 1 piece with archive trait is worth 800 dps in my gear

sacred zenith
#

Sisters can get pretty hectical when pushing but it's usually fine 4Head

inner pulsar
#

Sorry, 750 dps

viscid pawn
#

do we know when the garrote bug will be fixed?

#

so annoying

inner pulsar
#

Working as intended

inland verge
#

what bug?

lone junco
#

!ss

prisma monolithBOT
#

Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.

inland verge
#

oh damn

vestal abyss
#

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

north terrace
#

I mean... you're 311 so that's not amazing

#

Could be azerite gear

vestal abyss
#

I know, on subtlety I do alot more

north terrace
#

Could be low ilvl daggers

verbal pebble
#

how much time on dummy?

#

5 min?

inner pulsar
#

Also I bet you shouldn't be using exsanguinate

vestal abyss
#

325/315

vagrant nymph
#

Is exsan still #1? I thought TB had taken over

lone junco
#

311? just get some gear.

#

wq

inland verge
#

on my sims TB was better, and rapture was actually accounting for less damage with exsan

north terrace
#

TB and Exs are very close and need to be simmed to see which is better at this point

vestal abyss
#

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

north terrace
#

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

vagrant nymph
#

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

inner pulsar
#

How did you have 8 attempts at world boss?

exotic ledge
#

So Guys, any good Trait Combinations yet for both ST and AoE?

thick jacinth
#

as long as your dps is close to your sim you're doing fine tbh

vestal abyss
#

4 kills with rerolls

inner pulsar
#

Ah

vestal abyss
#

I'll sim it up, thanks guys

shy schooner
#

hey guys, which traits are best ofr m+?

#

for*

hardy cave
#

One newbie question, bc I don't really get what the guide says: Which weapon enchants should I use?

civic palm
#

Read through that stuff, won't take long.

hardy cave
#

But I don't really understand what It says, that's why I ask

civic palm
sand otter
#

I use deadly main and quick off

velvet kernel
#

Anyone mind giving my logs a look over

sand otter
#

Seems to sim the best

velvet kernel
#

and telling me whati did wrong?

terse viper
#

how useful is 1 shrouded suffocations for the extra cp in m+?

strange python
#

What for wep enchants are you guys running? Crit Haste or?

tribal jolt
#

Where is the actual notes about Pandemic, is it some unofficial/undocumented thing?

sand otter
#

Deadly nav and quick for me

safe matrix
#

"-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."

lusty compass
#

Overwhelming Power sims high, but is it still worth taking when many fights have unavoidable damage, which the sims don't account for?

safe matrix
#

OP doesnt get removed with most raidwide damage/dots

lusty compass
#

Really? That's actually really cool to know

viral juniper

@viral juniper for raid, what should i get?

#

viral juniper
#

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

glass cairn
#

viral juniper
#

some go with sharpend blades too so its up to you

#

sure, sim yourself and also test it what fits you the best

that crimson tempest talent for ST GWfroggyBlobThonk also exsang surely is ur top talent on that row?

glass cairn
#

ik, fucked up

royal lantern
#

make like 3-4%more dmg with pb, thats it, pb is not a huge difference lol

cedar meteor
#

2xss just 100 deeps less

drifting elbow
#

poison and exsang isnt top dps choices for me atm

candid phoenix
#

Exsang sucks if u dont run SS

#

it sims 200 dps lower than TB for me

drifting elbow
#

i have 3 SS

candid phoenix
#

i have em too, but they suck in raid

glass cairn
#

changed to pb

drifting elbow
#

cant really say SS sucks in raid

#

just not as poweful than doubles trait

royal lantern
#

ss was the best trait for everything, now its in line with other traits

candid phoenix
#

well it sucks. my dps was like 1.5k-2k lower

#

with SS

drifting elbow
#

๐Ÿค”

fluid drift
#

@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

drifting elbow
#

thats hard to believe tho

pure st DD is better, m+ ss is better

well check my traits. thats what i had to replace the SS

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? GWseremePeepoThink

arctic isle
#

350 neck OMEGALUL

#

more time playing less time simming dude

drifting elbow
#

like half players take it slowly

#

especially when it isnt life and death mattering dps difference in neck

candid phoenix
#

yes it does lol

arctic isle
#

i do mission table and expedition cap

#

im 371

#

........ lol

drifting elbow
#

u were in since the beginning?

arctic isle
#

so now ur story is ur new to the game

#

ok

subtle lodge
#

When running 2x double dose and 1 archive for raids is the stat prio still haste>crit?

candid phoenix
#

yeah @lone junco how can u still be 350 ๐Ÿ˜„

drifting elbow
#

i started rogue when lfr got released and i still dont have honored

#

doing fine in game GWskarzzLUL

jolly notch
#

Is 2x ss with 1 archive good for exsqng build in single target for raids?

candid phoenix
#

its not terrible @jolly notch but no longer OP

lone junco
#

@candid phoenix honored neck still i guess

daring veldt
#

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

lone junco
#

just checked. but ilvl change on neck bumps me to 352ilvl and gain 120dps.

drifting elbow
#

very big dps wow

lone junco
#

๐Ÿฅ•

smoky wind
#

I'm not running any SS pieces at the moment because they all sim terribly compared to my current gear with MA + TB

drifting elbow
#

for raid?

#

or in m+?

smoky wind
#

raid, im using 2 archive and 1 dagger in the back

drifting elbow
#

dagger GWskarzzLUL

#

its nice trap

viral juniper
#

funny

smoky wind
#

Either that or fan of blades ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

drifting elbow
#

im running 3 SS in m+ since its strongest dps i can have despite multiple azerite traits in bags

short token
#

do you guys run CT on Zek'voz mythic? i'm just curious

smoky wind
#

no

#

and i only have 2 SS pieces for m+ unfortunately

lone junco
#

looks like MA/TB is higher. by like 90 dps.

#

not mad tho

arctic isle
#

nothing wrong with ct on zek'voz

short token
#

@arctic isle is it optimal tho?

lone junco
#

vanish for tb.

arctic isle
#

top logs use ct but there are some pbs in there

#

it doesnt really matter

short token
#

okies, i have like zero experience with CT so i'll hold off

smoky wind
#

I usually get asked to go pure ST on zek'voz, so i usually use PB

short token
#

@arctic isle which fights are a must for CT in uldir?

arctic isle
#

just zek probably

viral juniper
#

no fight

arctic isle
#

what is that

#

75th percentile?

royal lantern
#

is it really worth it too actually stack archiives?

short token
#

@arctic isle do i just CT on small adds and that's it?

vapid flint
#

Yeah

obsidian ruin
#

i sim 500 dps lower in sin

royal lantern
#

like, waths the gain? i doubt you get 2x the mainstat boost?

arctic isle
#

basically irrelevant then lol

vapid flint
#

I mean most rogue players fall into the 75th

arctic isle
#

obviously

obsidian ruin
#

why play sin even .. fbm

arctic isle
#

but who wants to be a 75th percentile player?

vapid flint
#

No one lol

arctic isle
#

nobody in here

#

75th is like heroic only guilds

vapid flint
#

Yeah thats a good point

#

I guess that bar graph also doesnt account for alot of things also

#

like traits and optimzation and stuff

peak saffron
#

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

upbeat raven
#

which m+ dungeons do u guys prefer assassination over outlaw

royal lantern
#

all of them

candid phoenix
#

all

royal lantern
#

dmg is more consistant

#

outlaw has good aoe burst, thats it

candid phoenix
#

outlaw is good for lower keys

#

any trash pack that lasts for more than 20 secs

exotic abyss
#

If i go with DD traits, what talents would be better? im guesisng Master Poisoner and MA?

candid phoenix
#

assa goes ahead

peak saffron
#

@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

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

pastel jackal
#

just curious has anyone tried Scent of Blood for m+ to help with aoe?

lone junco
#

Lol random ass charts.

safe matrix
#

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

chrome crow
#

Outlaw is more suited to Aoe though and Assasination single target burst?

#

with good 3 target cleave

lone junco
#

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.

pastel jackal
#

i feel outlaw may be better for this week in particular

lone junco
#

I do love some blade flurry blade rush.

candid phoenix
#

it depends. if the trash mobs survive for more than 20 secs, assa pulls ahead

lone junco
#

But down time on cleave def sucks.

safe matrix
#

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

chrome crow
#

cry assassination fits my class fantasy though, bleeds and poisions XD fuck gun shooting rogues

safe matrix
#

Assassination is good too

#

either play the spec you enjoy, or play all three

lusty furnace
#

Yeah weps are insane damage. No way itโ€™s a downgrade

lavish citrus
#

@subtle lodge it means that about 3 years ago assassination was pretty bad

just do the rotation properly

well

mutilate is guaranteed 2 cp

fok is not

ripe dock

According to the guide you FoK at 3 now. Late legion was 2, I think thats because we had more stats

#

More crit ect

mint cairn
#

Does Elaborate Planning affect bleeds or poisons already applied to the target? Or do you have to refresh dots while its up?

ripe dock

yes it affects those already up

#

so you can keep it up over empowered bleeds for extra dmg

Ahh got it. thanks

Should I be running 3x SS for m+ I also have 3x SB should I be running that with raid?

hexed meadow
#

Is it more important to keep up EPLanning or the buff from Envenom?

ripe dock
#

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

velvet kernel
#

So anyone have time to check my logs and give me some help/tips?

scenic nacelle
#

For the guys not using SS traits have you guys been using MA instead?

nocturne tinsel
#

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

ripe dock
#

yeah I used MA with TB last 2 nights in Mythic

#

went well i think

hollow stone
#

... what other trinket do you have that you cant run both?

ripe dock
#

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

nocturne tinsel
#

@hollow stone fathoms

hollow stone
#

Those should both beat out fathoms. Are they not on your sim?

velvet kernel
#

really?

nocturne tinsel
#

gale/fathoms sims best

#

then gale/dice

#

then dice/fathoms

cunning rapids
#

do archives of titans stack?

hollow stone
#

Damn son. Gcb is prob better still than dice

#

The archive does. The array does not

charred lantern
#

uhm what azerites do we pick for single target ?

red fiber
#

My highest is 2xSB 1xAOTT

ripe dock
#

according to hero damage you can expect dice to contend with fathoms at around 370-375

proven ice
#

Is garrote pandeminc 4.8 or 5.4?

red fiber
#

Single target, in raid.

ripe dock
#

and gale just wins out at that ilvl

charred lantern
#

out of raid would that archive be double dose?

#

do you use SB on max stacks i guess right

red fiber
#

29+, but yeah, it's 1AA away from 30 so, lol

shell pollen
#

have you guys been using poison bomb or CT for fortified 10s?

red fiber
#

I run 3xSS + CT, seems higher

#

But lately, I've been trying Sub on M+ lmao

random skiff
#

since the issue this week is adds and not bosses, id do CT

ripe dock
#

CT will do more overall damage, poison bomb will be about 2%

short token
#

so on mythic zek, should i just CT as a finisher while the little adds are out?

ripe dock
#

maybe worth on tyrannical keys

random skiff
#

anyone here done M zek yet?

short token
#

there's like 6 adds up, should i CT as finisher with that many adds?

arctic isle
#

yes

ripe dock
#

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

random skiff
#

well its 6 adds the one priority add and the boss

#

so 8 targets

short token
#

thank you @arctic isle

dusk sun
#

noob question: how do i get stacks of reorigination arrays? currently have 3

red fiber
#

Defeating 3 bosses.

#

And up, each and every week.

radiant fossil
#

every week, when you kill 3 bosses (lfr nm hm or mm)

short token
#

every week you defeat bosses

dusk sun
#

so basically 3 bosses is 1 stack?

radiant fossil
#

yes

#

up to 10 stacks max

dusk sun
#

but only 1 stack per week?

radiant fossil
#

yes

dusk sun
#

Understood, gracias

#

nice beard brtw

#

btw*

ripe dock
#

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

How do i look in warcraft logs for the 90th percentile bar graph break downs of all classes?

@celest basin all bleeds are pandemic and dynamic

the only things that arent are

green belfry
#

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?

ripe dock
#

@vapid flint Top left, click the burger bar, then click statistics and go to uldir option

safe matrix
#

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

vapid flint
#

@ripe dock Thank you

celest basin
#

excellent, much less to worry about there - thank you!

vapid flint
#

Okay so you can only refresh a pandemic grarrote from stealth right or can you also refresh from nonstealth

ripe dock
#

dont refresh it unless you have stealth active

#

or you will overwrite it

safe matrix
#

when you refresh a buff its a new buff getting applied

#

so its an overwrite

vapid flint
#

Ok so not matter what if your in a long fight you will go without a pandemic bleed for some period of time

ripe dock
#

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

lime briar
arctic isle
#

no chriss

lime briar
#

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

arctic isle
#

when u garrote from stealth or subt u let that garrote drop and instantly reapply it when it drops off

shell pollen
#

is it worth it to CT a single mob?

ripe dock
#

@ Chriss yes that is correct you will only have pendemic up after your stealth windows

vapid flint
#

Okay

green belfry
#

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?

obsidian ruin
#

@lime briar you are overwriting empowered garrotes

green belfry
#

Their fights lasted like 1 minute and all of them had 99 parses

vapid flint
#

THats the awnser to your question then

#

The fights are really short

#

unless your fights are the same length

lime briar
#

@obsidian ruin Do you see that as the main issue? Also, how were you able to determine that? Sorry new to analyzing logs

green belfry
#

2 minutes I guess than their burst phase is longer relative to the fight lenght

scenic nacelle
#

Shorter the fights the less you have to do a full cycle of CDs

bright shale
#

Could someone look at my logs for me and help me figure out where I am going wrong?

arctic isle
#

yeah dont base your dps on fetid kills

green belfry
#

For me raidbot said i should do 13.5k dps did 14.2k on that fight and have 38% ilvl parse ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

arctic isle
#

unless your kill times are almost equal to others

#

ur like double the average kill time girkip

green belfry
#

Kay

ripe dock
#

Fetid gives a damage buff at 50% @green belfry

arctic isle
#

save cds on fetid for that

#

dont use on pull

green belfry
#

Aaaah okay makes sense

ripe dock
#

So depending on how fast it takes your raid to get him down, will determine the best way to use your CDs

bright shale
#

Anyone? ๐Ÿ˜ฆ โค

green belfry
#

Thanks. Made me feel less bad now ๐Ÿ˜„

vapid flint
#

@bright shale if you want someone to look at a fight link the log of the fight

arctic isle
#

u will never get good parses if ur guild is bad

bright shale
#

I'm the only rogue

ripe dock
#

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

vapid flint
#

And from what I can tell the main way people loose damage is by overwriting empowered garrotes like i was

bright shale
#

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?

arctic isle
#

do both stormm

#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

arctic isle
#

not needing to refresh rupt is also a plus

vapid flint
#

Do the guides in the pin specifiy whens the best time to pool rather damage?

ripe dock
#

I've always found it difficult to try time rupture before TB

#

not sure how that would work really

vapid flint
#

Or is it just pool before cds

arctic isle

i mean pooliing is pretty self explanatory

#

you have ep and enveom

celest basin
#

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?

velvet kernel
#

@celest basin its cause mutilate always make 2 cp so if you cast when u have 4 cp you waste one cp

celest basin
#

ok so the waste is detrimental enough to avoid. . . that makes sense, thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

velvet kernel
#

๐Ÿ˜„

ripe dock
#

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?

velvet kernel
#

Can someone pls look at my logs would be super grateful ๐Ÿ˜„

nova gazelle
#

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

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?

ripe dock
#

I'd only really use knife for the extra combo point in some pvp situations

#

rupture at 4 also

velvet kernel
#

please guys i need help ๐Ÿ˜„

spice surge
#

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

depends on key tbh

shadow idol
#

awesome ty

ripe dock
#

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

If you have Exsanguinate coming off cooldown soon (<10s), should you refresh your rupture or Envenom instead?

3xSB is stronger than 3xDD

Do you exsanguinate on CD or should you use on a 5cp rupture + full garrote?

worthy axle
#

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

tacit steppe
#

@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.

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?

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?

iron prism
#

layent: it's pandemic i think so don't spam CT but do use it fairly often.. just refresh after a few sec

wary pawn
#

Toxic blade only increases nature dmg

stone quartz
#

no asking for mythic zekvoz

prime geode
#

so poison damage isnt considered nature damage?

wary pawn
#

so problably

rain breach
#

someone simed 3 DD's with poison master?

prime geode
#

like does Rezans bleed get effected by EX?

haughty lily
#

i havent been parsing well in heroic and idk why. can someone look over my log?

#

(slippsy)

prime geode
#

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

haughty lily
#

they die so fast tho, i guess i could do that

#

idk any other sin rogues lol

prime geode
#

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

hollow stone
#

Soo. Anyone playing sin on zekvoz or do i just give in and go outlaw? (On mythic)

unreal wraith
#

why would you give in?

#

think most ppl go ct

hollow stone
#

Because all the top sims are outlaw

#

I went ct and my add dmg was still low comparatively

earnest hedge
#

so how is toxic blade build now?

tribal jolt
#

Why did they have to Nerf SS so much. I was just starting to catch our boomkin...

lime briar
#

Is exsanguinate only good if you have SS?

tribal jolt
#

It's still simming the highest but I've tasted goodness :)

earnest hedge
#

exsang is bad now because of ss nerfs from what i understand

tribal jolt
#

It Sims higher than TB

lime briar
#

I'm assuming it sims higher only if you have 3x SS

earnest hedge
#

gotcha, exsang still sims 1k dps lower than sub now

unreal wraith
#

for me it was a difference of 100dps and that was before the nerf

tribal jolt
#

Yeah I am running 3x SS though. Been trying to test out sub but it's a significant gameplay change

lime briar
#

Or if anyone has tips

unreal wraith
#

i was running 3 as well

#

yeah im new to the logs thing as well

nova gazelle
unreal wraith
#

i was disappointed that my dps in details didnt match the dps on the logs

bright vessel
#

my parses are SO LOW on some of the fights in uldir ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

unreal wraith
#

same here but details says i do more damage so im confused

#

its out by thousands

tribal jolt
#

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)

lime briar
#

thanks @nova gazelle

nova gazelle
#

np ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

lime briar
#

do you guys pool energy for a 5 cp finisher to make use of elaborate planning?

mild basin
#

would 1 lazer matrix + 2 ss perform better than 3 ss in m+?

bright vessel
#

I'm probably wasting combo points

#

or doing something obviously wrong

unreal wraith
#

@nova gazelle thx for that link, its highlighted improvements for me

steel abyss
#

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?

void raft
#

is it TB now?

unreal wraith
#

i waste alot of energy

void raft
#

i have 2 SS and 1 matrix

safe matrix
#

SS/matrix were both nerfed

#

your gear just needs to be optimized better probably

lime briar
#

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

steel abyss
#

@lime briar I'm not sure, admittedly i'm pretty noob with simming lol

lime briar
#

@steel abyss Same here lol, what are your secondary stats at?

#

I'm at 689 crit, 1055 haste, 797 mastery

runic gorge
#

do we still vanish rupture? or just garrote?

lime briar
#

the ravenholdt guide says vanish garrote garrote

#

but ive seen infexious do vanish garrote rupture garrote

runic gorge
#

what about for people without ss?

sand whale
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
sand whale
#

read this

runic gorge
#

i did

sand whale
#

@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

lime briar
#

oh i see. thanks @sand whale

steel abyss
#

thanks @sand whale

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

steel abyss
#

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,

sand whale
#

depends on your raid

balmy cradle
#

how do you guys sim for m+?

lunar pelican
#

is subterfuge still the go-to talent, even w/ the SS nerf?

atomic jay
#

are the sims crazy enough for the poison knife?

arctic crow
#

1 SS 1 DD is simming higher than 2 DD

#

weird

#

chest is archive

#

i thought it would be opposite

sand whale
#

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

balmy cradle
#

@sand whale does it count in that i restealth after every fight?

wide furnace
#

Yes

sand whale
#

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

wide furnace
#

Itll essentially be like simming a trash pull

#

So yes it will count stealth

balmy cradle
#

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

barren forge
#

anybody already playing with master assassin?

atomic jay
#

sharpened blades that good? seems odd that if you have 2, its somewhat decent

loud light
#

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

wide furnace
#

I prefer having one SS for the combo point generation

barren forge
#

i have 2 SB and it did about 6% in a 2 min fetid hc fight

wide furnace
#

I'd probably wear an item 20 ilvls under another just to have an ss trait.

balmy cradle
#

i feel like 1 ss for m+ is still minimum i want for the cps like you said

wide furnace
#

Yep

balmy cradle
#

i just wish you would unlock the traits 1 time per piece and can swap between all of them ๐Ÿ˜„

olive shore
#

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

balmy cradle
#

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

hollow jungle
#

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 didnโ€™t seem worth without 3 stack

balmy cradle
#

would master assassin really change stuff tho? 3sec 50% crit is like the time you need to garrote, rupture, vendetta

#

buff gone

#

yay

ashen dock
#

after vendetta and you have the energy increase

balmy cradle
#

sure the vanish after is nice, but its still not auto crit and only 3 globals

sinful crystal
#

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

atomic jay
#

so SS x1, 2x SB?

bold edge
#

why are people saying 3 ss are still bis

river quarry
#

gotta be any specific spec for the zul mythic rogue strat?

olive shore
#

sub

river quarry
#

have to be?

olive shore
#

thats what method played yeah

#

only sub uses aoe to empower single target

atomic jay
#

i just fail to see how sharpend blades is that good

safe matrix
#

basically they kept the crawgs alive and used 5 sub rogues to burn down zul insanely fst

slender smelt
#

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+

lime briar
#

NO

#

oops caps

balmy cradle
#

nope, because you reroll your chance on the chest

lime briar
#

you can only get azerite through the chest

balmy cradle
#

and the chest cant contain azerite

lime briar
#

the weekly chest*

atomic jay
#

it can't contain

#

erm, can*

#

and if you don't get one, it raises the chance next week if you get a chest

balmy cradle
#

the end of dungeon chest*

atomic jay
#

oh ya, correct

slender smelt
#

Oh thx bois

#

Hmm so azerite farming will be excruciating for me

#

If i don't get one this week

balmy cradle
#

azerite farming doesnt exist after 340 pieces ๐Ÿ˜„

slender smelt
#

Can't get more higher gears for other parts easily since its all 370 or near 370

#

And my azerites are 355/340/340

olive shore
#

mine are 370, 370 and 355 but "only" archive traits

#

i'd rather have SS ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

slender smelt
#

Ok this seems just like softcore legion legendary

balmy cradle
#

2x 370 head, 370 shoulders, 355 chest, rest 370+, but traits on those azerite pieces suck

#

so i run 340 , 340, 355

slender smelt
#

" 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

balmy cradle
#

so far still better than 4months without good legendary xD

slender smelt
#

Yeah I just wish this doesn't get absurd as we farm higher gears

#

Where azerite also becomes so rare

balmy cradle
#

i just dont get why their new promoting system is locked behind rng and id walls

slender smelt
#

It really sucks not being able to wear higher ilvl gear for any reason

dusk sun
#

Are u suppose to sacrifice ilvl for ideal traits? ๐Ÿค”

#

I mean 15 ilvls is something too

balmy cradle
#

i wont make too much of a difference, but whenever there is one, people want to have the edge
