Exsang vs TB really just down to personal preference?
It is up to the fight you encounter
ST it really dont matter
Exsang is good when you should change targets frequently
Cause it only interacts with bleed dots
But TB you need to envenom the target you TBed
exsang vs tb is just sims
So like exsang for something such as Adderis
Adderis? You plan to get deep fried with lightning sheild?
LOL
just sim it and use the one it tells you
I always love hitting the shield and make healer have a fit
so TB is always before exsang?
sim is like 20 dps difference
ravenholdt says TB on CD
Since envenom is nature dmg finisher

anyone know if wowprogress sims take into effect the uldir trait stacks?
Usually I use tb after the first rupture
Bc u dont wanna tb then follow with a rupture ideally
I donโt think so cyanide
When situations like the shark boi from freehold you need to move out from sharknados
Exsang seems to work fine
When you cant env much
why do i sim so much lower as exsang i want to swap off this dagger throwing shit
๐ฆ
Just my thoughts :/
sharpened blades is lame
Move from sharknados? Fk that make healers cry ๐
it really is
It is lame
i only have 1 SB and i wanna switch it out for DD
but everyone else is getting better sims as exsang but mine is 700 lower
how much haste do u have?
I sim higher with tb
depends on your haste
12%
im assuming higher haste, exsang starts to be better?
Thats so low man
whats a decent haste %
Glad tho... I like tb when I raid. Exsang for PvP
theres no magic number
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/utDjuTzRTd8FU9XoWoBXw4 is my exsang sim
Just saying it really dont matter
Im trying lol but my cache keeps giving me 395 vers mast gear
But around 17-18 is kinda good
385*
Its playable at 15% haste
Below that, its atrocious @strange python
I'm at 23% haste in Uldir with reorigination
I just need at least 1 archive.
if i switched back to haste gems and haste enchants with the raid buff i have like 15 or 16
im in outlaw atm so i swapped them all around
plus i havent gotten a galecallers yet and i know thats pretty good
i geuss my gear is just trash
i just cant stop getting high ilvl peices without haste
has anyone tried tempest on higher keys?
I have
my guildy swears its good
yea i have double ss one sob and i am running ct ex
Guys literarly every m+ i did tank was chainpulling
even 1000+scores
telling me "chainpulling is good for overall dps)
so what the fuck do i do there
thats the best
so every pull im not in stealth
doing alot less dps
thats best?
vanish i guess
2min cd yea
yeah should be using your cd's if you're pushing high keys my man
I havent had a problem with that since im always running keys with mates esp tanks
if your tank doesn't stop when you tell them just hearth ๐
hmm somehow i dont think you tell the truth, no healer can chainpull a full dungeon without drinking once and if he drinks you could stealth too
some fuckin boomkin did 18k dps total
i did 10k
because some mage started ninja pulling bosses too
on 11key
the group clearly didnt need a rogue then
like dno wtf was that group lel
this afixes are hard for pugs tbh
All pugs are cancer
I usually hang back a bit if I run into those tanks but don't really pug that often
get the restealth in once the previous pack dies even if tank pulls a new one
are people still playing with suffication even after the 40% nerf? or what is the meta now?
80% garrote and rupture uptime. Also most top logs dont swap to adds i assume
well your kill time is also double my kill time which doesnt help your case
Yea thats gotta be it
im playing 2ss 1sb exsang for M+ feels great. someone above mentioned 15%haste breakpoint and id agree
I was told to switch to add
instead of just sticking boss
i was lookin at other parses and yea, uptim on garrote and rupture is over 95%
our kill was under 2min yesterday. And yours were 4:49 :p as miniath said
you did drop uptime which doesnt help and you could pool better for TB envenoms
Yeah if youre killing adds then youre gonna parse considerably worse
makes sense
@bright vessel ur whole guild parses gray ๐ญ
you rupture + garrotte on fetid and then switch to the add , so you always have atleast one garrotte/rupture running , mostly 2 during adds
only on that fight hahaha
i parsed blue on most other fights
also, for refreshing rupture, say there is like 5sec left on it, and i have 5cp, is it better to just refresh there or try to squeeze in an envenom?
even if you waste time on the bleeds its outright better to not let them run out
Refresh
refresh
read up on pandemic effect
thanks a lot guys appreciated
you can get up to 30% bonus time with pandemic
adds remaining time to next dot
oh shit ok
always pandemic garrot and rupture before Exsang too
Envenoms really aren't that important for Assassin, think of it as filler
Def dont sacrifice bleed up time for them
ok, that makes a lot more sense then
you're not gonna parse very high if your guild is killing adds on heroic
Yeah on that fight getting the max duration garrotes and ruptures on the boss before switching to adds will help a lot
the longer you guys are taking the worse your parse becomes
envenom is basically only important if you hit 4/5 cp and you can't rupture because it's remaining duration is longer then 30% of your next rupture
and that too , bloodlust is SUPER important for us
Yeah, if you want a good parse you dont vendetta in the opener either
hum?
On that boss
Don't hold vendetta on 4:30min kills
the fight is so short you only get 2 vendettas anyways
not his guild
you'se the first on opener , the 2nd with vanish + exsang
that fight is so short I only get 1 vendetta
Yeah
obviously mileage varies
im not using exsang, im using poison bomb
note to myself : kick guild in arse to keep the pace for 2nd vendetta , noted :D
๐
exsang is in another row then poision bomb
i guess you're thinking of crimson tempest
he meant tb obv
ah , just saw it in the logs
err yea
in that case envenom is super important , but only during tb :D
hopefully hes not too confused now ๐
i'm sorry :(
Tldr; focus on getting better bleed uptime, dont worry about parses until your guild is comfortable killing it without killing adds
what i mean is , outside of tb you don't need to spam it on low energy , better to relax a little and pool energy for the next tb and refresh bleeds outside of it
nope just telling your whole guild to git gud tho jk jk
and dont hold vendetta. ur opener was fine
Yes that too sorry for the confusion that caused lol
the other point is don' use prolonged in raid , the new potion is outright better even with the short duration :P
prolonged is fine when you dont have the gold its not where the problem lies but yeh
๐
well other people are not so you won't parse well until you stop being cheap ๐
well he wanted to rank higher , and the new potion during tb on bl with all bleeds gives a nice push
fo sho
even more during exsang
you wont parse well until the whole guild gets better
you can suggest this, open as usual with vendetta but only opt to kill one add then burn the rest of the boss hp. I was watching the replay for the log and you guys should be able to do it and you'll all feel better about it
its not gonna shoot you from grey to orange though by any means, other things will
snapping 1k bonus agi on speed up bleeds is naisu O:
but yeah if you're not getting the boss down without ignoring the adds just kill one , if you're at the point you can kill both during the window you can just ignore them all together :D
yo guys, is there such thing as too much haste, I mean with this uldir buffs we will have more and more haste each week, so we might not need prioritize it for raid anymore?
just sim it
you basically need more haste then everything BECAUSE of the uldir buff
because it boosts the highest stat
Probably been answered but I scrolled up a lot and didn't see it, are people still double SS or triple SS even after nerf or is there a new preferred trait?
Iโm at like 18% haste and my haste weight is still .3 higher than my agi weight Iโd say you are pretty safe with haste stacking for a while
For M+ => Stick to tripple SS , For the raid : 1x Uldir Shit , 1x SS , 1x something else , possibly just highest ilvl , since one trait alone doesen't have insane differences but i'd use blight if i could
I know double dose simmed higher than SS for me
cause of bleeds ticks maybe, ok thx
no he means don't let your haste drop to a point that it's not your highest secondary
yeah , that , sorry if the wording was off
SS as in swirling sands or shrouded suffocation?
shroud
i mean i guess 2x DD's instead of 1 SS / 1 Blight or DD can sim higher , but it's a minor gain and it shreds your opener and i don't think thats worth it
Im guessing TB over Exsang then with only 1 SS?
sim
afaik exsang still sims higher for me even with only 1 SS , but i gotta doublecheck
Fair enough thanks for the info saves time waiting for sims since I am not premium
well atually my exsang is 38 dps behind tb :D
i guess we have the luxory to play both now
bis traits for M+ with shrouded nerf?
Ss :)
Do you guys run TB or Ex for M+ with 3x shroud?
On st it sims about the same for me
Exang
385 with double dose or 340 with shrouded?
Not sure how to sim for m+
Hm, 1min hectic addcleave?
Why do we sim st then
Because else you need to change all your gear
As you wont want haste on hectic add cleave
But exang melts priority adds way faster than TB
3+ adds for Fan spam?
for this week just sim 40 sec 5 or 6 bosses , only food + flask + ap shout
Yeah I have 2 bags full of gear with different stats because i play all 3 specs some in pvp some in dif encounters feelsbadman
@cobalt flint i fele you , and like 20 azerit pieces in the bank in case of nerf :D
I dont. I have had fuck all luck with azerite pieces.
i enslaved my friends and their leather toons for normal m to get the 340 pieces
i just cried my spec's dead need new azerite !!!111 and little do they know i still use SS :<
@ripe comet ss is still respectable just not op op
I cant wait to archive dose or something else lol
it was completly out of controll
As i feel im falling behind now. I dont play much so am about 10-13 item level behind rest of the guild
Still top dpser
yeah but you now gotta work for your dmg and not just get the right opener with BL and vanish into double garrotte for 33k dps and then go afk for the rest off the fight and eat popcorn while people try to catch up
that really wasen't healthy
@ripe comet agreed. You still do pretty much lol
But the bits in between are far more impoetant now
yeah
and finally we can use uldir gear now
and since we have 1 piece in raid with SS on it we can wear full uldir gear in the raid \o/
and look like a gladiator with steampunk dagger's that look like fucking broadswords instead of looking like a rogue ... but its nice i guess :D
meh id only ever run ss in dungeons now
Is SB a meme or people trolling. Cause I'm not sure what to listen to anymore. I got 2 stacks and a ss Sims best and yeah
Guys how i Sim more accurately, because i Sim myself, with standard rules (1b 10 min patchwerk (weekly) nightly same as tip). And with this my best Sim have no SS piece and master assasin talent, is this posible or im wrong with anything?
@vernal sinew the โstandardโ go to sim is Patchwerk 5 minutes, and nightly, instead of weekly
morning guys
i have a question
should i evenom then toxic blade or toxic blade or evenom
does it make any difference?
ok thx
@steep obsidian well ss is still simming better for me than archive (unless its proccing origination)
So if you have origination from another piece itโs still better to have that on the raid chest (at least for me)
@slender hare ty
Are there better traits for Mythic+ now? I feel like triple SS is stilly pretty strong in mythic dungeons where you can restealth on every pull.
depens on your azerite ilvl, but generally yes, for me SS x2 + SoB x1 is best
why have Simcarft no TB-Build? it sims better atm https://www.simulationcraft.org/reports/T22_Raid.html
Blizzards azerite system is genious
have 25 azerite pieces in bags
never seen one with sob
Not even 25 traits to have why u hoarding.
Sob?
!sb
Yes very bad yes yes
the mutilate trait is the new go to in single target?
Very bad.
@atomic karma assa has 1 charge, sub has 2
im lookin foward to how they implent 8.1 ap talents
is it gonna be ss level and just be the only thing u take
Assassination has always had 1 SS charge.
or will it be on par but gameplay changing
๐ฎ
9% haste at 358 ilvl. Feels bad. Anyone lower than me
Idk i was at 11% last time I was in uldir
am i the only one confused about traits atm
I keep getting Vers gear
cause i have no clue what to play with, actualy i find playing with double dose, ss and archive of titains
but i have no fucking clue what to target for
i am realy confused

ilvl parses are a meme and nobody cares about zul logs
ok lets say i dont care about the logs, any tips for zekvos and zul?
tell ur guild to afk when adds spawn
do i switch on the adds? i didnt
You are dying, guild can't kill it or what? Since you don't care for logs?
What are you struggling on then
wat u do is stop focusing on normal mode logs
obviusly i want to know how to do the most dps on these bosses with assa
i am in normal so i focus on that
u only parse high by padding
You really shouldn't be woried about logs specialy for normal ๐
When the adds come out fan/rupture tab fan/rupture tab etc
when the nerubians come out, make sure your normal group pulls them all to boss, and do the same thing /profit
ok thx, would it bee good to switch to all ss for that fight? or stay on ST traits?
are u a normal only guild?
no we are progressing hc atm
buto n progress i dont care for logs
so in normal i want to have fun achieving all legendary logs in rekills
heroic is different, because the nerubians can't be moved
yeah im atlking about ilvl%
thats even worse
i want to get the best out of what i habe
Parses arent dependant on only you, it depends on the whole raid
Anyone know roughly how big of a difference reorigination is vs someone who doesn't have it?
My only SS trait piece is 340 chest, while i got the 355 chestguard of dire winds. is it worth it keeping the 340 for the only SS ?
askmrrobot does give me some crazy (imho) advice on gearing for multi target.
I would love to push for further mythics (currently stuck pugging +2 /+3, and doing occasional +6 with guildies.
i understand and i can also tell my guild what to do to some extend
uninstall amr from ur brain

on herodamage the highest ST combination is 3xSB is that true even considering the uldir traits?
The SIMs are accurate to perfect play and 100% uptime on the boss.
I imagine SB would be real bad in Uldir.
did anyone have weak auras break on them?
I was running mizerok's and now they randomly aren't working period
Hey! Is laser matrix worth using for m+, or am I better off running SS/SB?
Not that I know of.
like they wont load and weak auras wont show anything as loaded or not
my WAs work
yea
they were working fine
and then suddenly lua error into realizing they werent there anymore
Try redownloading them?
Might also be something weird with your game.
or Weakauras itself, make sure that is updated as well.
just recently updated
and god i wish i could get aotc...
im trying to
i dont die to shit
wow bugging aotc
do top dmg to ghuun
run orbs
god damn, god group mez
changed release type to alpha for WA, they're back now
everyone with their ilvl 360 neck, meanwhile mine is at 329
never done those
same here. but i dont play every day so its not that weird that my neck is low
well if its only 329 it means youre far behind on CoA rep
dont think so
every AP level only gives +2 ilvl
every rep is +15 when you go to Silithus
yeah im quite sure i lag behind on that too.
i just cant bare the thought of grinding or world quests after legion
yeah im not really doing WQ anymore, just emissary, cant be bothered to grind AP to upgrade my neck +2 ilvl
this is me
farmed the shit out of tol dagor
that wolf greets me with a hug everytime i go in
"sup noct, gimme some love"
that sucks brah
mother drops a good one though, do her weekly
i got my eyes on mother, next kill she will drop one and also i will bonus roll one
heroics are easy to pug, especially with achievement faker
ive gotten 4 daggers from mother :p
OOPS did I say that?
and trinket
aye feel bad about the luck on that one
you lucked out on more than one chest though ๐
oh guys, how the fuck does raider.io work?
hi there,
do you need an addon to have your best performance uploaded?
Stop being cheap with your chants lauritz!
ah, so I really do suck
but only if you break top 100 on your server or something
but i also got a +2 in so i dont know what up whit that top 100 rule
@edgy latch haha if i bought the +40 ones i'd go broke
I would like to ask you something, i see it's worth to use crimson tempest on high key, (i do usually 10-12 keys) but when i check logs, others rogues never use it on boss, and rarely on trash, what is the condition to use it please ?
do you have m+ on every dungeon?
that is the most important thing
M+ Score is based on dungeons completed, their level and if you did them on time or not
do every dungeon at least one
ah okay
had no idea and everyone bases their invites on your io score
thanks guys that helps. im gonna do a few +2s today
yoeah after that you can always target the lowest one and go from there
and not in time completed keys give significantly less score
Question . Should I use finishers @ 4cp? Or try for 5th?
4 unless you need to reapply garrote
if you can get the 5th combo point without wasting combo points go for it
otherwise using 4cp finishers is ok
Thanks!
is pooling still a thing for sin ? like keeping track of Elaborate Planning and your Evenom buff to maximize uptime?
I honestly don't think so; energy regen is just too slow to keep EP up
Also.. should I stall vendetta, so I can fit vanish+ garrote in?
you definitely want to maximize EP uptime @strange python
you can stall vendetta, if that doesnt result in missing one use during the encounter
if you know what i mean
Yesir, thanks!
maximize EP uptime during bleeds or in general?
of course you so @polar zephyr , but pooling means EP will drop
(empowered bleeds)
so in the end its the same. You want to pool to keep it up in particular situations
i haven't read anything about pooling on any of the guides so i don't really think about it
hi guys, I simming on single target Master Assassin higher than Subterfuge, anyone else ??
I just pool to maximise Envenom uptime and ignore EP except during the opener where it's fairly easy to max EP uptime or when refreshing Rupture I do it before EP expires and I'm in pandemic window
stupid question but is there anything special spell u wanna prioitize during envenom uptime?
you should probably pool to the extent that its possible
if you still have EP up but are ready to finish again, wait until its about to expire before envenoming
I pool for Toxic blades
So when I have 3-4 cp, and I have toxic blades of cooldown, I pool energy so that I can do a Toxic blade - envenom and then Mutilate till 4-5 cp and another envenom. so you have at least 2 envenoms while toxic blade is up and at least 1 envenom with EP up during toxic blade
But its somewhat hard to time that, cause in a perfect world you dont want to refresh rupture or garrote during toxic blade. but you dont want to wait to long with applying toxic blade
#tboncd
i am all for rb on cd on that short of a cooldown you can easily miss 2-3 tb in a fight if you pool
tb
just need to be abit lucky I think. In a perfect world you want to have at least 2 envenoms during toxic blade while atleast 1 of them is effected by EP
Yeah thats why you pool befor the TB is off cooldown
right ok
I mean, most of the time I do it on cooldown aswell because I just see that its to much of a hazzle... But sometimes I use toxic blade and I need to refresh rupture and garrote and don't even have time to do an enevenom within the toxic blade timer
which is shitty ๐
I just TB on CD except if it comes off as Rupture does, then it's delayed a few seconds. Most of the time i use it just as a quick 1-2 combos if I'm at 3 and don't pay much attention to it. I know I could probably improve the usage but been getting pretty decent rankings as it is
Is sin good to play in m+ or are other specs better
I didn't look into that but i'd guess what sims higher
Or maybe tb because of the low cd to use on every trash pack
Im simmign about 8900 dps at ilvl 345, that seems low.
Will probably be that low until you get decent azerite pieces and a good level of haste then it shoots up
whats the haste I should shoot for?
Sim it @rough wedge there is no breakpoint per se
ahh
the gods demand haste
Im not in a position to pick my upgrades since Im mostly goign for highest ilvl
Hi guys I'm new rouge main that play raid and m+ and I started with sub I liked it and I was not that bad 70-90 perf but they nerfed him. My friends told me that assassination is better and sub will be hard behind assassination aoe and St so I started do play it coz I want to play strongest spec. But I don't feel it (cos I'm bad prop) and I want to ask u what u think about sub compared to assasination now and in future in raid and m+. I'm most interested in hard aoe and pure St. Thanks for help !
By that I mean scaling with gear
Haste has shot above agil for me after that point
whatis telling you to get more
@gleaming kelp u made my day
Mastery almost the same as agil now as well
it plays basically the same as tb anyways imo
doesn't make much of a difference in the feel of the spec
tb better for me as well, by around 200 dps
im thinking of going exsang for vectis still
because of add-dps
Tb 4 life
always felt it was much harder to play 100% optimally with exsang
but i havent had it talented since like emerald nightmare so idk
tb sims like 104 higher for me
what's a good DPS for normal uldir? sitting at 338 ilevel / 9900 dps
but that's with 2x SS 1x matrix now
better to run CT in m+ for trash?
I figure he was asking about sims
always run CT in dungeons imo, also did it during tyraniccal
I sim at around 12,5k at 355
on how many targets do we apply CT dot? 2? and do we spam ct during aoe for the initial dmg?
rotation for aoe with CT?
sims, and i'm sadly still rolling 325 azerite gear
I usually do CT at 3+ targets
I already like 360 for my first sin logs, so idk how it'd do in raid at lower ilvl :\
then spam FoK and rupture anything that moves
alright that makes sense
To be fair I also havs scent, which gives my agi when rupturing multiple people, so that's my personal thing
think i'm at 15% haste now
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eT4tv44MkptBkTawYiJ2bm this is the only sim I could find from around that ilvl, but obviously different spec
feel like thats high aswell
Looks like you have way more optimized secondaries
Before nerfs
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jzhLS45ESkhBPujrQ2tHCk my current mut sim is pretty lame tbh
compared to sub which is like 15k almost
mjeah but I'm never doing to do a perfect sub rotation in a real situation
hmm, I feel like enveloping/mos rotation is pretty easy
very consistent, I guess I'd say
and I can get a lot of free DoT damage in as assassin in those anti-melee type scenarios
mjeah fair
I always mess my anargy levels up with DS/sectec
energy*
No gems/enchants and a lot less haste than I should have for that ilevel I think lol
I currently have a pretty mediocre 380 trinket, should i try to spam freehold+7 for the loaded dice trinkets?
Not that confident with on use trinkets atm
not while I'm still learing raid mechanics etc
Forgot to switch to elaborate, that brings the DPS a bit*
what am i doing wrong?
luckily pvp was there for me
I got "lucky" with 2 370 azerite pieces, sadly one of them has scent of blood ๐
mjeah i ahev 2x 340 now
one is from the emmisary yesterday
@cursive mesa you dont ahve any enchants
the navigation weapon enchants might help a lot with dps
gonna say, both of you- velev and ohgodarogue- you guys should check to how much dps gain fathoms might be tbh
idk what it costs on your server, but on mine it's only like 50-60k now and it way out does its item level
80k on mine
Yeah, I have maybe 120k total
Velev do you have wep enchants?
Yah
weapon enchants are big for sure
will improve it lots
for assa i do quick & deadly
^
which one should i buy?
deadly navigation & quick navigation
quick and deadly for sure
np
what's fathom?
npnp!
Dark Moon Card: Fathoms
Darkmoon Deck: Fathoms
that ^
its a player made trinket that's 355 ilvl
and has a very good proc, and good agi vonus
it outperforms a lot of even 385 trinkets
oh wow
loaded dice and galecallers
Fathom's is 300 more dps than my current trinkets
Not sure if I'm down to pay 80k for 300 DPS tho lol
I get ya for sure
ha fair enough ๐

I'm aiming for Loaded dice & fathoms
I tend to swap between fathoms and cannonball runner or fathoms and dice
cause cannonball is just really bad on some fights
not great in aoe it seems
we still want 3 time SS in m+ right?
I currently have a 380 [Tiny Electromental in a Jar]
I feel so much weaker in M+
which is alright cause its 380
I'm actually doing pretty well in M+ i feel
currently running ss dd scent
i feel like scent is meh with CT
and while the scent is not by choice, it's actually pretty good in M+
wont get more than 2 ruptures before i have to refresh CT
there's no snapshotting anymore, so every rupture increases the damage on all other ruptures
I usually have around 4 if the pack is big enough
400 agi is nothing to scoff at i guess :p
I don't really have any decent pieces outside of 3x SS
i run with the pplumage trinket (vers active) instead of fathoms in m+, since fathoms does nothing in dungeons
so if I play mut in m+ I use that
does nothing in dungeons?
in aoe its bad
all my azerite pieces are 340
fathoms is pretty crap on aoe
ah right
yea
been trying to get a better plumage or something tbh
but my m+ trinket luck has been pretty shit
mjeaht he drop rates are so low
im pretty happy with 370 spyglass and 380 dice
i have a 365, its actually really good for m+, on trashpulls, so much versatility
3% for every trinket i want or something
and that's on normal mythic
don't even talk about M+ xD
id spam freehold 10s tbh
I'm close to 370 in bags and until this tuesday had 345/340 daggers and fathoms + 340 dice lol
they are easy af and you have like tons of decent items there
mjeah
problam is with 355 i'm not getting in any high pugs it seems
always seem to only get accepts in the 5-6 range
yeah but they were raiding yesterday and I feel pretty selfish asking guildmates to only spam freeholds with me
Hey - Currently i'm using 370 Harlan's loaded dice and 345 Galecaller's boon - Do you think it's worth buying fathoms or sticking with what i have?
especially if most of us wont ahve freehold keys
and we need to find random with the key xD
um check bloodmallet
I just tell my guild mates to hit me up they get freehold, tol, atal, or shrine keys
and miss me with motherlode/waycrest/temple
i have 10 waycrest, rip me
I like kings
yeah double shadow of zul
prolly my favorite dungeon
KR this week is ....
KEK
Freehold is growing on me
NO double shadow of zul
freehold even on non-teeming feels like so much trash to me
@modern kindle So it would be a minor dps upgrade of 200 give or take a bit
@sweet flame freehold is like super fast and chill
pretty much yeah
not really worth 100k+ for 200 dps imo :/
skip to first boss, to trash after second, trigger third boss, kill second, kill last boss, kill sharknado
mhm my groups always seem to die at least once during the doggy trash packs
on the final pack with the stairs
the rat guy always patrols in for some reason
wait wut
that's such a weird way to do it xD
that seems like a lot of travel time tbh
skipping to first boss is really nice though
best time was when you pulled the trash to the third boss and killed it with their cast lol
and we get to do it every dungeon ๐
@glass cairn sim it, but i would guess plume
what's the best way to sim M+?
How would you Sim M+? Would it be Hectic Add Cleave, 3 bosses for a short duration, like 2-3 mins? Trying to figure out how many SS traits to stack for M+ still.
we normally do like 2-3 pulls to first boss, 3-4 pulls to second, 3 pulls to pig/turtle/shark, shroud to last boss
Patchwerk 4 to 6o bosses @slender hare >
isn't there a string for simming m+ somewhere in here
what % do you need before crossing the final bridge on freehold?
I usually do 80% but i am not sure
generally we pull the two stormcallers on the bridge and shroud the rest
and that's enough
so idk
Ok cool thanks @slender hare Lauritz, going to Sim myself now.
np
Trying to figure out at what IL the 3SS traits become less good than other higher IL azerite traits.
For M+.
My sims have already told me to drop all my SS traits for higher IL stuff in Raids, for ST.
for m+ atm 340 SS piecies are better than most heroic/mythic other azerite pieces
but yea ST most higher ilvl stuff beats SS
Ok this is what i got. Told me to drop Fathoms + Galecallers and replace with Dead Eye and Plumage. Also told me to take 2 SS but keep 1 SoB?
sounds right
5 bosses, patchwerk, 40 Secs
ohr eally?
yeah
its fine, definitely lower, with my ST gear i sim 15.5k, with m+ its a bit lower
but its not tyrannical week anyway
so most boss fights are super short
Alright cool ๐ Ty for all the help!
np man
what's sob again ?
scent of blood
The sound we make when we get nerfed
the sound you make when you get an azerite piece with that trait
):

ayyy
have there been ninja nerfs or something? everyday my sin rogue loses 500dps. went from 16k before ss nerf to 15.2k the next then back up to 15.7k with upgrades and now i'm at 15k flat
yeah talents are all good
maybe sims updated/not updated for changes?
or maybe missing RA stacks in current sims if you set them manually before
blood malet says sob is good on cleave so why isn't good in mm+ ?
which made sense because they were a little more geared than me
but i lost 700dps over night
just straight up confused
Ok thanks a lot so you agree that 3SS for mm+ is still the way to go ?
3ss or 2ss 1sob
idk
would need to sim or test it yourself
prolly depends on affixes too
Ok thanks
@sweet flame mix it with CT vanish and exang makes ss very potent in m+
How good is this for an opener with no SS and MA in raiding?
Garrote > multilate > rupture > mut > mut > tb > vanish > envenom > mut (pray for crit ) > envenom
@devout jolt would be nicer if you had a few SBs
Have you checked hero damage skill combinations for MA?
Ok go herodamage and check combinations. Uncheck all talents you dont plan on using
โค
It will give sim results. MA may ne a terrible option for you right now
Sb x 3 is the winner it seems
can i force it to use 1 archive? or do i order by double stack and fill the last one as archive
Anyone noticed, that if you use garrote from shadowmelt, it applies SS, but not subterfuge. Is it a commonly known thing/bug?
@sweet ginkgo first i have heard of ss being applied from meld.
Well it gives 3 cp
gonna test it more, but I think it works both in pvp and on bosses
2 mins
Guys anyone can give me a proper ELI5 on how to remove debuffs from enemy name plates, I am playing around with the blacklist but cant seem to get it to remove crippling/wound/dagger in back
Im a proper addon mong btw
Hi, using 3*SS and versus 4 ennemies, I noticed that people put 3 enhanced garrots but not the normal fourth garrot, is there some kind of detrimental effect ?
!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.
ty
whats better in m+ dungeons 3x SS or something like 3x Scent of blood or SB?
Sharpened Blades
M+ is 3 SS
Ty
We just did a Sim earlier trying to figure that out. It may not be 3ss. You'll want at least 1 or 2, whether you take 3 will depend on your gear
I simed myself and link it earlier. For 5 bosses, patchwerk 40 secs, recommended i take 2SS and 1 SoB
5 bosses patchwork 40 sec is the way to Sim for m+?
What have people's experiences been with SB? Is it worth trying to stack 3x 340 IL SB for ST? Or just equip high IL pieces with other traits? I See Herodmg has 3x SB as best, followed by 3SS but at what point does IL take over?
SB is bad.
@static tapir I'm not 100% sure, but somebody recommended it earlier as the best way to sim for quick trash fights, 4-6 bosses patchwerk, with Short duration
depends on if its m+ or raid
SS is still fine for fights like Zul and other multi target fights right?
Would like to get a longer sim, like 5-10 mins of 5 mobs for 30 sec, 5 sec downtime, 5 mobs for 30 again and repeat. Simming just 5 mobs for 40 sec assumes you have all cds ready. Dunno how to set that up though
Whats scenario is that for?
M+
m+ without restealth?
guys with SS and Crimson Tempest , do we apply ruptures or CT first after garrotes
With restealth, Thats the downtime
well then you just sim 4-6 bosses patchwerk, no buffs
that gives you exactly that
40 second ish
it would end up being the same
well you wont have vendetta + vanish for every pack, but its the closest youll get
is there a guide on proper use sharpened blades ? like use only max stack? use only with toxic blade?
Does poisoned knife do 100% nature damage? if so probably try to combine the two. If not just use before wasting stacks at like 27+?
gonna get nerfed soon
You wouldnt use it either way
yeah its horrible to use
its sin highest simming trait when using x3
but in uldir you would gain more damage by having 1x uldir trait
and you dont run st build in m+
so theres nowhere (unless pvp maybe) where 3x Sb really is the best
Fair, i've just been running 2xSS either way since its a nice middle ground ST and Multi target trait and i already had it
What build do u run in m+?
But thats good to know
3x ss works, currently running 1x Archive + 2x SS because it simply sims higher to me. Ilvl plays a big role in this tho
Yeah i'm doing the same since i got a 370 archive, head and it outsims my old 340 SS head. Anything with origin will beat out most op traits for everyone eventually anyways
Though for M+ i suppose it could be different, but to be honest, i'm only doing +10's so it really doesnt matter
@brittle idol only done +8 as highest but SS is still working well for me
when you say ss are you refering to shrouded suffocation or swirling sands
I'd assume shrouded suff but wanna be sure
shrouded

goood morning
Hi muscle

Just copy ur logs into wowanalyzer @tardy narwhal
Yw
What's wowanalyzer?
It's basically a tool that attempts to analyze your logs
"attempts" best description
Well, not every spec is equally represented
Yea, its far from accurate on some fights
Also, some metrics like downtime can be a little deceiving on some fights
Thats why attempts is perfect explanation ๐
Aha, thought you were being sarcastic :P
Nah, nah 100% up to that

Finally getting the hang of Sin in dungeons
Now what I feel I need is a good way to keep track of dots applied, any suggestions?

Am running WA
I was asked to switch to outlaw/sub, for M+, is sin really behind?
@icy cedar i just pulled 15k dps overall in TD+6, it's fine still
and im a novice
@serene glacier any suggestion on a good WA?

@strange python cool to know but what about high keys, with Fortified
Is there a good fight log for me to link if I want to know why my dps is booty?
Get that man some haste, stat.
Yeh I only got 1.2 
1.2?
ahh
eg around 17%
thought u meant 1,2% and was like wat
Even with 12% hast it feel really slow like I can afk bio between each cast
@icy cedar did a +8 Waycrest yesterday, about the same numbers
so i think the question is, if i play 100% perfect on all rogue specs, which one performs best for M+ ?
No good trinkets
you cannot compare rogues, because they have different strengths
depends on the rest of your group
depends on dungeon and pulls you do as well
Could you say that Outlaw reigns on big mobpacks, Sin for extended dps and Sub for burst on MT/ST?
Yes
@hollow escarp outlaw doesnt need the restealth, but once you get out of your blade flurry window, the aoe drops. where as CT is good forever, but you need restealth if you plan to use SS.
@lone junco And without SS dps goes down
ct and rupture sustain is very high. and goes on forever.
?
ish.
or does CT-spam with Rupt keep it up?
ss is great if you can contact 3 mobs during the open.
then you rupture ct for sustain.
talking 20-30k dps every pull of 3 or more elites.
nothing will burst to 100k but it is ready over and over and over.
Sin most likely @icy cedar , i'd just play what you like or are the most comfortable with
@hollow cloud funny thing about that stat weight, is that in cleave haste is bottom and mastery is top.
Hey noobe, I've never used CT do you think it's better than PB in M+?
And do you use it before or after rupture?
over an entire dungeon PB is like 2.5%. Ct can be around 12-35% per pull
g g g ct. fok fok rupture each elite, then refresh ct.
Do you put CT up in ST situations too or naw?
what does fok mean?
is what I do. you can change that open for a baddy prio
g g g r vendetta mut mut rupture exang fok fok ct.
Fan of knives
ah
Yes
general rule is to never mut at 4
Are you better off just putting a 4cp rupture ?
and finish at 4/5cps
Any CP lost is a dps loss
Wait so for ST you keep CT up too right?
Damn
And pooling TB for envenom also not worth it?
@bright shale I dont use TB in M+
100 row?
exang rips the ss on a prio target every pull. and feeds you energy
Exsang is better, esp if you're a troll and have galecallers
tb just doesnt haev synergy for that
@little sparrow Thanks!, it's just was told to switch due to sub/outlaw being superior.. so now i got my answer also paired with testing
But in uldir you want to run TB
GC Exang is massive
