its getting that ss for my head slot is the problem xD
I’m running 1x archive, 1x laser, 1x ss but that’s more or less for lack of options.
The ilvl on my uldir pieces nets me more dps than stacking lower ilvl traits.
yeah use whatever sims highest and focus on your rotation
hello assn friends
Can we talk G'huun?
do you think its worth equipping 340 SS instead of 370 Laser in M+?
no
how would i go about simming this scenario ?
4 targets patchwerk 40 seconds
ss?
Shrouded suffication
ahhhh ok
So, reading the pin- if you garrote let's say 2 targets OUTSIDE of stealth, then vanish and hit 2 more targets with SS garrote, are all 4 now ticking with SS buff?
my record before the nerf was 50k dps on the pack before the "SUCCC" boss in atal'dazar

sorry for off topic but rly quick question: can azerite pieces warforge/titanforge in Mythic 0?
No
@ruby idol tyvm for the info!
so with SS should u take more haste in m+, or still crit/mastery
I 2nd this question ^
I would imagine crit/mastery due to constant resets w/ garrote
and crimson temp spam.
Answer Him GunZ You Have Nothing Much better To Do.
?
?
you guys playing crimson tempest this week?
yes
What makes it good for this week in particular
more mob health
so you have time for it
i would do it anyway
bosses are generally easy
so single target dps is less important
did they nerf ss again?
it feels like they did
Unless im deaf AND blind, im postive they didnt.
@supple compass i tried a diff stat setup. And tbh thr energy starvation sucked balls. I prefer st weights and just run CT
Without the haste it was a very depressing affair
Is there any way to figure out the best stat to get boosted by reorigination array, or will it just be my highest weighted stat?
It will always be your highest rated secondary stat.
Im having such a hard time figuring out what traits to run with post nerf. is it still shrouded for now?
and im sure this has been asked a million times already, so i apologize in advance.
Blood Mallet has nice rankings for traits.
Yeah, i was looking at that, but all guides still pointed to shrouded, so i thought id come check to make sure.
The actual guides dont get updated every nerf/buff on the spot.
Blood Mallet at least tells you the last time they were updated.
triple ss is by far the best trait for m+ from my sims
but you have to sim your own shit
Speaking of that, how are you simming for keys? Just hectic add cleave with 1 boss?
Thanks. Never knew that.
Thanks a ton guys 😃
Kinda thought haste would lose some value now that I'm at almost 20% but it just seems to be getting higher and higher in my stat weights
anyone notice when you hit your gc trinket they damage of garrote is slightly less?
without it is 12.4k and with it its 12.2k
Did they cap the gold cost for trait rerolling yet?
stop reforging every 10 minutes
I feel like they should mke reforging free on items that are specced into traita that were nerfed, like they used to do with talents back in the day
if i hit gc before applying garrote will the whole of garrote benifit from the haste, or does the damage of garrote dynamically change depending on haste throughout the duration?

Guys, pls help. I argue with my tank about restealth betwean packs in m+. He said, that few second is not worth, he said other dps's do more in this time, could you give me some argumets nad numbers?
dont play with him
It's better for healers as well because they get to do minisips of drinks that tanks never notice. Also, just compare the overall damage in a run where he gives you a few seconds between packs and one where he doesn't.
Why does a WA that I just loaded, not appear on the screen after I close the menu? The load option is set for a specific talent, which I have, and nothing else. I've tried entering combat, leaving combat, etc and it just doesn't appear unless I have the menu open.
is it a bug that using the gc trinket from stealth cancels the 3 sec sub timer?
pauses between pulls give the healer the chance to drink, top of people who are low, lets people pre-pot between packs, lets you restealth, lets other casters set up their aoe
@strange python the output you are able to dish having restealths is totally worth it, he just doesn't understand how good SS is for m+
"you fucker you don't understand how strong ss is, it is so strong that evne after the 40% nerf it is still the best rogue trait unparalleled for m+"
well my problem that kind of tanks too
ye but still good
I still play one SS
FOR M+ ITS STILL THE BEST
i use two and laser matrix
Still worht it to run crimson tempest in m+
@neon chasm is laser good for m+?
over poison bomb?
no poison bomb better
oki
CT > PB in almost all cases for m+
@marble hemlock how much your CT does on overall dmg more or less??
depends a lot on the dungeon, did a motherlode earlier this week where it had ~15%
but you also have stuff like temple or atal where its usually closer to 6-7%
2 questions on exsanguinate, do you completely let rupture and garrote fall off while under the effect of exsang or continue using pandemic timers. Second question do we reapply Rup and gar before applying exsang or does it not matter
When I make my macro for Galecaller's Boon, I can just type /use Galecaller's Boon to activate the trinket, right?
i feel like something has changed from yesterday
for assa which i should use gems?
for raids whatever the sims suggest (probably haste), for m+ most likely crit
or mastery is good option?
nope
nah
yup
ty 😉
hey guys is it worth to double garrote on opener for the longer duration then pop exsang?
you can read about the opener with exsanguinate in the pins, that should answer your question @tawdry ice
anyone know if there is a WA floating around that tracks the total number of ruptures you currently have out

i do 6target, 40sec, patchwerk
yeah none of those seem to have what i was looking for. guess noone has done anything like it yet
dont trust sims for aoe fights
How are you guys using Crimson Tempest? I simply can not get it to do much more than poison bomb
Garrote, Rupture, Fan till 5cp, CT
doing like 10k on trash with CT, 14k with PB
I really struggle after the Exang opener (still running 1 SS as it sims highest currently for me) with energy Regen as I go through my rotation. Do y'all pull energy at any specific points? I assume before the first vanish for double garrote but any other tips?
have you guys seen feral changes? literally better version of assa rogue for aoe
have you guys seen outlaw aoe? literally better aoe than assa rogue
i still dream with a level 100 talent: spread rupture on all targets within 500yd
i mean
trash opener is something like this @prisma crescent
garr garr garr ct fok fok rup
and then build more ruptures while maintaining CT
how much crit do you have?
@marble hemlock Ah so Rupture 3rd in prio
@pallid bluff if you’re still here here was a WA posted here yesterday that tracked it
24.5% crit
I think it was posed by @hollow stone
well, you can do garr garr garr rup fok fok ct aswell
doestn really matter
you just maintain CT, dont spam it
and make sure to keep up ruptures for the energy
@marble hemlock And you're seeing good results?
thx, just to have a rough idea
@pallid bluff I can make you something, got a style in mind? How would you want them tracked?
so crimson tempest over poison bomb in m+?
SeemsGood
bars work as well, etc.
@marble hemlock Thx, i'll give it another go

What ilvl should I be aiming for to start doing mythic 0? I'm at 320 equip right now, 326 in bags b/c brewfest trinkets.
I Use Plater TO Keep Tracking Of the Buffs
MOAR RUPTUREZ
If you've got a group you can do them now. Did mythics on release at like 305 @dusk quartz
@dusk quartz you could probably hop in now without any problems if you’re familiar with he fights.
Thanks, I'll have to try and get into one later today then.
I mean, pugs can be really lame about ilvl, but you should be cool with like a +2 or 3.
Well as he stated mythic 0, you can always make your own group.
no one wants to make their own group so its really easy to find people
the real problem is only when you have to limit people based on quality
should crimson tempest be kept up single target as well?
no
No Don't Even Use It
oh its that bad?
The guide can be updated to reflect that, it's mentioned in cleave but not st.
so are there any builds for like m+ ? or is just the standard build in the guide?
2212233, 3x SS, crit>mastery>haste>vers
sry for noob questions, very new to rogue and assas
didn't you just say don't take crimson tempest lol?
ah ok, thought you meant at all times
u use 4cp Rupture on big pulls or just after one Fan of Knives ? @marble hemlock
build low cp ruptures early into the pull, refresh with 4/5cp ones after you get your energy rollin
ah okay tyvm
weiird question but what legacy raids drop the best looking daggers
Best daggers are cataclysmic gladiator spellblade

hey there, can someone tell me, why my envenom dmg is so low in comparison to rupture and garrote ? I was checking out taloc mythic kill, i only did 10k dmg. And compared it to a 14k parse. Of course there is itemlevel and the average hit on his envenom was 3k higher which makes 100k diffrent on 33 casts. But my envenom is on 4th place behind garrote, melee and rupture.
Does envenom just scale better with main stat than rupture and garrote ?
Here is my log
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/yCYPRBFV3gzLmn8r#fight=7&type=damage-done&source=7&target=34
Here the comparison log:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/r92zcBMdY3CVaQRD#fight=11&type=damage-done&source=36&target=28
anyone seen the build where you stack crit/mastery and enchant/socket only crit?
Are people taking poison bomb for m+?
the damage is absolutley nuts
why does my damage suck with crimson tempest? like I cant get my bleeds out quick enough it feels like ass...
i have like 26% crit
so opening w/o SS doesnt pandemic the garrote. is it just not worth the gcd/energy ?
i think crit mastery is the way to go
completly ignore haste, the guy has like 4%
can someone tell me how to play with CT correctly?
Haste gives faster energy
so what stat priority is best for m+? stacking haste or stacking master with crit?
aoe crit/mastery but it seems very good on ST too
i did 51k damage on first boss in motherlode +11
yeah the dmg is increased because the boss gets a debuff
lol
do you have logs ?
im starting to log now
okay cool
i am at 27% crit and 34% mastery with 9.5% haste
i seem to be doing not enough dps, but my weapons are bad anyway....
well this is my stat prio for m+
Correct.
on ST gear i got about 23% crit 18% haste and 21% mastery
but im lacking on dps, is it possible that my ilvl 340 daggers are the Problem
how do you have so much gear and crap daggers
your secondary stats are almost equal to mine and i have 371
Does mastery work for double dose?
i got no luck on weapon drops
only have seen 5 since beginning of the expansion in myth or math+
@civic palm was honestly just looking for a number that just showed the amount
Yeah that's much more difficult than a cloned stack of bars ETC, I am sure something like that exists though
yeah its not really that big of deal just was something i was thinking would be nice to have
If I were better at the syntax I could make it but it's not too hard.
Yeah it would be, there were some WA posted between my ping of you and now though
yeah same i dont know any of the WA syntax but know coding in general
nah
which key was that?
you get a tracker in your buffbar when you have scent as a trait anyway, and i usually see them on my nameplates
underrot15 @daring imp
Yeah.
Was the priest russian?
ye
crit mastery ftw
Classic ???????
i guess i could just wait till i get a scent trait and track the buff
dayum
i think there was some WAs floating around during legion for warlocks to keep track of how many agonies they had running
should be able to do the same for rupture
that was on time?
yeah, barely
@marble hemlock what build, traits, and stats
3xss, 2212233, crit>master>haste=vers
i can guarantee that only crit mastery does this overall damage
the one after 1st boss
ye
yeah i was looking around some. not really too hard though. guess ill try again
I have a WA for how many ruptures I have up (no timer only the amount) if you want
Yo guys did they fix the SS bug?
Whoever was asking
no, bug is still alive and well
what bug we are talking about?
Galecaller's Boon on CD? Just got one and got a Harlan's too but Galecaller sims a bit higher
sin is still doing this well with the bug though
!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.
Ss bug
Is exsang also better than TB for low keys like +6 where everything dies really fast?
ye
you dont really use TB on trash at all, since its not worth the GCD
whereas exsang gives you a quick rampup
ah okay, guess i'll have to practice with exsang then:) ty^^
@gleaming geyser Link WA?
Are the trait rankings at herodamage.com for ST?
if so what are the good aoe traits I should i aim for
mmm, sourced from a Shaman WA?
nvm turns out there is a ranking for dungeon too. Guess i should look before i ask lol
Hmm sims 6T 40sec tells me my Scent trait + 2x SS beats 3xSS
Follow the sims my brethren
Keep 1 ss for extra cp seems best and rest go 2x something else
is the goal with aoe in m+ to get garrote and rupture up on each?
@pallid bluff this works.
I am going to see if I can clean up this variable names but it works.
How do I play with CT in M+? how many ruptures do I put before casting CT?
do I rupture everything before CT?
I do 3 garotte - >CT unless there's a priority target
Ggg ct exs i do most of the time
unless you're running SoB, you can get CT rolling, apply a couple rupture and refresh CT pandemic
lemme borrow this real fast;
When you will use exs in an aoe situation
wait does exs trigger every enemy?
OLD... PICTURE
You cann ggg rupt exs fok fok ct maybe
UGH
Mizerok you give your WA a lot of love ;) and seems time to upgrade mine
Nah this Rupture thing is a fucking pouching and a half.
That Rupture WA is extremely well coded.
not sure if Kappa
No it's no Kappa.
Most WA don't are not robust enough to clean up aura checks and keep the aura updated as well.
though I had to change the variable names because... well... yeah
I'm trying out the opener on ravenholdt for exsang with SS and it says mutilate till 4, envenom twice but the second time i'm always energy starved and garrote runs out before i'm even at 4cp for the second envenom, should I just skip the second envenom?
the best part of my WA's is the documentation > _>
Dumb question, but in general should I be running Sub or Sin for heroic dungeons? Just want to make the dungeon go as quickly as possible
honestly its either or
theyre both doing comparable damage BUT
i would say that assassination is probably better overall
subs rotation is complicated
less room for error
@chilly bear In purely Single Target, as much as you can until your simulated weights show something else winning.
well then 😄
I'm really struggling to AoE in m+. I've got garrote/rupture on both and then just rotating but I'm doing pretty poor damage
@candid jasper same 😐
2 mobs isn't aoe
Are you guys pooling on Sin rotation?
Two different scenarios!!
hey there , should i pool energy before toxic blade ? i ve tested and this way i can apply 2 evenoms in the toxic blade window but not sure it's a real DPS gain
we were wondering the same thing @indigo cradle 😄
🙃
Yeah you should pool
But is still hard to get more than 2 envenom without 30% crit
So I suppose, I'm questioning.. 2-3 mobs, I have empowered garrote on all 3 with rupture up... then normal rotation... seem to be doing about 12k dps 😒
!ma
and afaik poolling in assa is less DPS lost since you deal damage with melee/poisons for a big part
is there a master assassin opener guide?
Envenon with Full energy? Two multi inside envenon buff and try another envenon before EP expire?
Whats the opener with exsang?
Whats your pooling strategy?
@civic palm btw, your Stealth shroud wa. got mixxed with my GC wa. So every time I /use 13 it would do a shroud countdown
super cool
https://i.imgur.com/tbIcvxz.png feelsgoodman after 60mins of shrine
Another out of context question- would it be worth swapping to Crimson Tempest for dungeons, or nah? I don't like the RNG of Poison Bomb but I've got a feeling that Crimson Tempest is more for sustain?
you should be taking crimson tempest most of the time
what do you guys use to track empowered garotte?
there are some weak auras for that
if you only raid heroic and never plan on getting into mythic. Should i buy the fathom trinket even tho it only sims for like 300 dps higher ?
i guess what im asking, is there a better trinket in the heroic raid ?

you guys see snutz leaked boosting service prices lol
...what?
this convo -> #off-topic
Just curious - what azerite pieces are you guys aiming for? I kinda feel like the extra combo points from SS make it worth having at least 1?
I think im going to go for 1x SS and then 2x Double Dose, then if I get into Uldir raiding I'll aim for those specific traits. I just like the feel of getting extra cp off garrote during opener
Right now I'm doing 1 double dose, 1 ss, 1 ditb but thats because no archive or laser drop yet
I'm thinking SS chest off fetid, Archive shoulders, ditb helm because I got a 385 from box. I don't think theres a double dose from uldir
whats the correct way to use vendetta in fight? I feel like doing it exactly like described in the opener is not true when already infight
because I already might have rupture up etc
does envenom cause some sort of poison explosion?
awesome, thanks
Alright so..
Left side - 1 LM, 1 AOTT, 1 SS with Exanguinate
Right side - 1 LM, 1 AOTT, 1 DD with Toxic Blade
The dps difference aint that big, I hower am wondering if the DPS to the left includes the Vanish bleed reset? If not, will it do more than 13217 that shows on right side?
https://gyazo.com/11fd0d5ed8ae7bdd8fd4e4674689570e
something wrong if my highest dmg in details is from melee?
simming 14.5k can only manage 10k dps
@oak mirage those sims are also using buffs/consumables keep in mind. I mean unless you are using all of those then there might be a rotation issue
I mean when I sim without buffs it’s about a 3k difference
Check your bleed uptimes maybe an issue there
99% uptime on both
probably envenom usage honestly
If they post a log we can probably help out, but without ones we're just shooting in the dark
speaking of bleed uptime. Are you guys keeping bleed up on mythrax while he is in the middle ? i see most logs have much highe uptime than me on that fight
i can post logs, but is it really a good indication? changes on boss per boss
Yeap
alright ill go find
fetid probs easiest to look at
I can't find a good Sharpened Blades WA to save my life
Is it worth delaying 2nd vendetta to line up with exsang?
Does "One or more Shrouded Suffocation powers for Exsanguinate" mean one more more enemies? or one or more traits
traits
ok, so I'm a bit confused at why you would open with garrote -> rupture, then garrote?
max duration
max duration on ur bleeds
because of shrouded suffocation
you get 23s garrote as apposed to like 15 or w/e it is
max dur
ahh, I see
although not using ss anymore since nerfs
I am still going x3 ss in dungeons
garrote uptime pretty low on that fetid log
does it look at just boss? or the spores as well?
not even 1?
@oak mirage Look through the fights here in ur logs, maybe ull find somethign in here.
https://www.wowanalyzer.com/character/us/barthilas/sinsong
Edizio it's hard to say, u have to sim ur gear for raiding and see which spec/trait will do the most for u
thanks guys. ill check that out @nova gazelle
am i using envenom right? x2 mut > envenom?/ mut to4cp > env?
or should it be mutx1 > env to get more env uptime?
Trying again. Are you supposed to rup/garrote mythrax while he is in the middle. I did not and focused on the adds, but my uptime was way worse than any logs i checked
just do that adds
I always ignore Mythrax while adds are up
there shouldnt be a reason for rupture to drop off at all if there are others adds up
unless you're going add to add and only dotting that add you're on
which i think is probably sub optimal
hmm. I have been on the big add. Guess i haven't been good enough to keep bleeds up on the smaller adds while changing to the other big add
well this goes for any fight
but say you're hitting that big add there will likely be another add that spawned near it
your garrote is going to come off cd
so itd be a waste to not use it
you're not going to lose garrote uptime on your main target
same applies for rup
Guess this is a point i need to improve on. Thanks 😃
Weird, I'm trying the garrote -> rupture -> garrote -> vendetta -> toxic blade -> envenom etc etc, and ending up with pretty low dps compared to my typical garrote -> muti -> rupture -> envenom -> toxic blade -> muti -> evenom
garrote > rupture > garrote > Muti > Rupture > Galecaller if have > Exsanguite > Vendetta
guessing you have ss traits?
Hello, sorry to bother but I was wondering if anyone had a link to a great WA for Empowered Garrote with Pandemic too?
I do have 1 ss trait
Been looking through all these WAs and I cant seem to find one 😦
@candid jasper dungeon or raid?
Hitting the IF damage dummy 😛
not much has changed
@gusty onyx I'm curently using this guys WAs I love me, try and see if they suit u better.

This is my complete 8.0.1 BFA Rogue WeakAuras for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. They contain a complete setup for Assassination Rogue, Outlaw Rogue,...
@candid jasper yea but do u want to use ur SS setup for raid or dungeon? Cuz if it's for dungeon I think Exsanguinate will sim higher than Toxic blade
ah right
well to be fair, I've had quite a bit of trouble doing cleave damage in dungeons really
getting garrote/rupture up on 2-3 mobs whilst everyone else is hammering 20k into them!
i triple garrote rup 4th target
fok ct
into ruptures
dont have trouble doing that tbh
i've even been using meld->stealth garrote
to get more empowered garrotes
still end up doing like 12k dps
meanwhile others are just literally smashing damage into the enemies
What I usually do when it's 3+ targets is that I dot 3 targets with garrote, while on the 3rd target I also put rupture then spam fan of knives untill i have 4+ cmp nad apply rupture on the rest of em.
Do keep in mind that if there are more than 3 targets you do not want to put a "normal" Garrote on the 4th target beacuase ot the bug
I rarely use mutilate on +3 targets as well
what if you use meld->stealth to make the 4th garrote empowered again
U could do that, but that would be a huge waste of dps to just apply 1 extra empowered garrote imo, cuz the trash dies pretty quick anyway
why would it be a waste
yeah? meld and stealth are off the gcd?
exactly
nah but lets you get stealth
k so dont do it
!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.
I thought u were talking baout vanish lol
nah
damn nightelfs
@nova gazelle Thanks! I was looking at that one on Wago but I cant tell if it tracks empowered and the pandemic
if I open garrote on 3 mobs, then meld->stealth then garrote the 4th
that's surely a dps increase on trash, assuming you don't mind using meld
with no real loss? due to off gcd
I cant believe its been like an hour and I cant seem to find this Weak Aura lol
@gusty onyx Watch the video that I linked as well, he explains everything in it, it shows both empowered and pandemic
if you can get subterfuge off of meld
@candid jasper ahh yea that would def not be a loss indeed
Ah, a waste because if the mobs last long enough for 2 rounds of garrote, you can apply it again?
using meld?
yes, well, let's say there were 6 mobs
in theory, I can get empowered garrote on all 6 using meld?
yes
@wicked comet what he means is that once he "Shadowmeld" he gets out of combat and can then restealth instead of using Vanish, restealthing means a new set of subterfuge, so yes, the next 3 garrotes would eb empowered
yh so thats fine
I suppose what I'm trying to add here though is that I'm doing this... yet I'm still only getting 12k ish dps
355ilvl
Well do keep in mind that ur dmg is DOT dmg, if the adds die fast cuz of other classes have more BURST dmg, then yes, you wont reach dream numbers in dps
I sim 13k single target so like.. I would expect to be doing more but it seems I'm fannying around putting garrotes onto targets
yeah, I guess, coming from sub, I was finding like a wow factor with sectec and fok/evisc spam
whereas this feels more like, 20 sec later I might slightly get the edge
i sim for about 13.5k The simbot is apparently a much better player then i am :p
In mythic + do i touch CT at all on bosses?
You dont use ct on less than 3 targets, iirc
kk thanks
I suppose it doesn't help that much when the tank is moving around the mobs so much
you only use CT for the bleed right ? not replacing Envenom ?
What is CT?
Crimson tempest
Thanks
@candid jasper tell me about it, I hate when a tank jumps from one side of the room and then pulls the boss to the oterside of the room, making me miss my 2nd Garotte on my opener, tilts me everytime
That one is good @nova gazelle I was hoping the bar would change color instead, ill see if I can modify his.
@drifting pulsar that includes buffs
@gusty onyx of ur talking about the "empowered" state of the icon, then no, it only changes the color on the countown numbers from white to green when empowered
But maybe u can modify it so that the whole icon changes color, not sure if it's possible tho
is exsanguinate an on cd thing or do you need to time max length rupture and garrote
@noble lintel for longer fights u wanna go toxic blade while shorter fights u want to go exs cuz of faster bleed dmg output
U want to use exs with refreshed bleeds
Dps is still great post patch
@nova gazelle Yeah It would be ok but I use Omnicc for my CD timers so it would conflict. But thanks I do appreciate the hellp.
Sin nerf really not a big deal
So is the APL just fucked right now?
looks like nightstalker
@ocean nimbus glad I could help, if u use Omnicc for ur CD timers you can leave out the WA for CDs and only take the "Rotations" WA to keep track on ur emp bleeds and so on
if you want a 5cp NS rupture and both mutis dont crit
k for 5 cp vanish rup actually
yh
unlikely that it will happen but still have to have it in apl right
mind linking the sim?
How do I do that?
did you do it with raidbots?
No Simcraft
raidbots seems to actually do it properly but it doesn't have a lot of detail
Just guessing from the fact that my dps is like 2k higher on raidbots
hm
might just be an issue with the defualt profile for the simcraft version youre using
woot, raidbots have A LOT of details if u view the "full HTML report"
if the raidbots one does it properly
Just downloaded the newest version 🤔
for raidbots theres a link on the right side where you can open the html report
Maybe buffs on? Or wrong apl?
which is the exact same thing youre getting when using the simcraft program itself
@frosty gyro u using weekly or nightly apl
@frosty gyro
@soft island just default sin apl
i mean you could copy the entire profile
and upload it on pastebin or smth
and we could doublecheck
@frosty gyro that can mean alot of things. Generaly nightly in raidbots is updated frequently. If you are sure your simcraft is up to date, the only thing that could be the difference is having buffs like bl pots turned off in your sim or not having traits loaded
Sure there's the apl https://pastebin.com/9fDQVHeq
quick question offhand is only for stats right? bc sims show my 340 dagger with socket is the same as my 355 dagger in offhand
Is MA the new move boys?
stats including oh dps as a stat
hero damage says so
@frosty gyro at some point you have 3 mutilated after each other. The seems weird indeed
Yeah idk it's just the default SimC apl
ill doublecheck in a minute
raidbots says my 365 galecallers is worse than fathoms......wut
Soo offhand dps doesnt matter right its only stats?
weapon matters
why does bloodmallet have it so low?
oh dps is a stat
oh dps is probably like 5% of your damage
@safe canopy you're not reading bloodmallet properly you're comparing other trinkets at ilv 400 to the 355 fathoms. Read the ilvs.
Bc my 340 socket weapon sims the same as my 355 weapon (for offhand)
Probably because weapons have very low stats so a socket is big on them
hmm ok then ill have to sim my 370 harlons dice vs 365 galecallers then to pair with fathoms
Keep in ,mind sims assume you are getting to fully stand in the galecallers buff
Which isn't always the case
then ur galecaller will prolly win if ur watching bloodmallet correctly @safe canopy
can anyone help me with large group pulls? my current strat is g g g > then rupture 3 targets, then spam FoK > envenom until dots start dropping, then refresh those etc. do you guys only keep dots on 3 mobs?? or FoK > rupture all mobs basically??
i feel like i energy cap way too easy if i do that
yeah i wouldnt use gale on a move instensive fight. the 370 dice has actually done well for me. i cant get that fucking seige trink to drop though
@frosty gyro https://github.com/Ravenholdt-TC/Rogue/wiki/Assassination-APL-Research try this apl. If it's different
any idea how my dps is so low.. seen rogues higher with 5-6 item level lower...
with exang i sim even lower..
Lol... Ye I thought u were using simcraft. Nvm den mon. Nothing to see here
I actually understand running your own Sims since u dodge the queue
does archive of the titans stack? is it worth having 2 or nah?
should not stack
bah.
@dapper moat Stat prio, trait prio, trinket prio, etc.
i thought archive DOES stack?
@dapper moat Are u sure? I'm thinking that AOTT stacks, and by stacking I mean the primary stat, is it not?
yeah im pretty sure archive stacks
Yea I was under the impression the stat stacked
Archive stacks. Array stacks within uldir do not
AOTT 100% stacks. Using it right now.
jesus
ppl have told opposite 😄 should have tested
that array stacks and stats not
time to change hat then 😄
3x archive is 36 agi every 5 sec
niceee
is it worth running 2 archive of the titans?
Depends on your other options. But it certainly can be
i could turn one of them too shrouded, im not currently using a shrouded
Gotta take ilvl into account too
its the same piece just changing the trait
I think shroud sims lower than archive without array stacks
But id prob still use 1x ss over 2x archive
is 3x fan the build for rbgs or should i toss in an ss for cp
then by defualt AOTT is stronger than SS even without array stacks
@bitter umbra unless they're both ilvl 385, then 1 SS is stronger than 1 AOTT with 0 Array stacks
@frosty gyro sry had to go afk for a bit
took your profile, used my stats
got this opener
Is it better to use 1 archive + 2 SS if it is higher ilvl or 1 archive + 2 sharpened blades but lower ilvl?
/rac
@sacred pier yeah it seems like it's doing a nightstalker apl for some reason
@karmic forum have to sim it really.
yeah, ive been trying to get into raidbots and pawn, there is just a lot there, and in the end it seems like when i get my own stat scales i end up hurting myself more than help.
im trying to do a gear compare thing right now
do you only get reorigination stacks from one difficulty for the week?
You should have 3 RO stacks this week
3boss/week = 1 stack. Capped at 1 per week
no matter the difficulty afaik
Blizzard is just updating PTR tooltips to include the nerfs/buffs/changes from the previous weeks, there are no new nerfs for the rogues compared to live. No need to panic. 😄

It’s PTR things always change
new rogue nerfs,understood, class even more ded now
guess after the nerfs to all 3 specs we were still too strong, so theyre nerfing us again
FeelsBadMan
OK guys with the new Nerfs what's our new bis and best trait and can someone outline our new opener
does feint reduce damage from omega vector?

So RO _OD 
@safe matrix hey I spent exactly 0.2 seconds glancing at your pinned post regarding the new nerfs pls tell mE aBoUt tHe NeW nERfs thanks
I see the SS bug is no longer pinned, fixed or just.. rip SS..?
Oh nvm
It's way down there
Last part is news to me, didn't know it buffed your active garrotes too
I mean if you whiffed and accidentally applied a garrote after your initiate subterfuge window
Ded
You could vanish and rather than reapply, put it on new targets instead
6 sec CD tho
Rather than refresh your whiffed ones, since by the sounds of it they'll get buffed
Yeah still 12sec of buffed garrotebois
Not really abusable but good to cover a fuckup
Better than nothin I guess
Plus in mid fight if you gotta vanish and garrote add spawns or something
Number of times I've fucking buffered a garrote because boss moves or some shit then applied an in ss
You don't have to garrote boss if it's prior garrote duration is decent enough
!azerite
Do my azerite traits stack?
The damage part of azerite Stacks.
Other components can be assumed to stack however with some exceptions and limitations.
You can check https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/azerite-stacks/1t-t22-assassination for estimations.

exsang or TB for M+?
Most run exsang imo
3ss or 2ss 1 scent for m+ guys any opinions?
If equal ilvl, id go 3ss still
cool, okay
@marble hemlock how much of a ilvl cut would you take to be able to run high crit mastery if most of your top gear is high haste and even crit mastery?
If any for m +
People using tempest or poison bomb for m+?
Ct
what azerite traits are people running now?
Pins
how do u guys use tricks of the trade do u do mouse over or @tacit ruin
where are the new rogue nerfs?
first pin

@tulip willow if i'm in a m+ i set my focus to the tank and just use a focus macro
ezpz
e z p z
this guy gets it
So what are people going for azerite traits now? kinda confused on what to go for
you should go for whatever sims the highest. the optimal traits are available on bloodmallet.
Might just check logs instead of asking

tfw you're left to defend the point alone and expected to solo fight a warrior with a pocket priest
2xArchieve+1xLaser sims highest for me but im using 1xSS+1xLaser+1xArchieve just so I can keep the opener. It sims 0.3% lower but I like it for those CP from SS
Am I doing a mistake by going like that?
anyone good at going over logs?
sup @dusky pebble
crimson tempest better for m+ now?
Yes
How come? what happened
Nothing it's always been strong
LIFE HAPPENED BILLY
LIFE! Life is an extraordinary lover, but she is sly and will not hesitate to stab you in the back when you let your guard down for even a single second.
Be on guard, ALWAYS!
How to use the shadowmeld properly? Sometimes I get it to restealth me in combat in M+, but only when certain conditions are met and I'm not sure which ones. Since empowered garrote is so good, restealth's hella valuable, so...

@oblique copper I'm using it to run away in case of wipe, lol. But if you want to use it for the DPS gains on the harder packs in M+ that are alive for too long then use it when you cannot restealth. Or when tank won't let you restealth...
Keep in mind that you need to have almost full energy bar, so you could apply garrote to as many enemies as possible.
Hey. Quick question. Im currently running 2x AOTT. Is it a good idea to drop one of those for 1xSS? They sim the same, but was wondering what would be better for m+
Holy shit. i'd be so pissed
support cant help either, feelsgoodman.
They are really liking the MC to 50% mechanic dont they
Is there any special tippson how to use the galecallers trinket ? Or when do i use is to its best
After a month, i replaced ONE of my 340 daggers with a 370 one. Meanwhile, my guildmate re-rolled 2 weeks ago to a DH, and since then he has 395 and 390 weapon, and in 2 weeks sims 1k higher than me.
I've been bonus rolling HC Mother / Zul every week and doing +10s. So its not a lack of trying
pepehands
@pseudo hamlet thanks, but I'm not asking about how to utilize it, if it works properly then it's basically a vanish. Thing is, more often than not it does not put me in the right stealth (even though my character is melded, I can not use the stealth ability and my garrote is not empowered by neither the subterfuge nor SS). For some reason I'm still in combat, and I have no idea why sometimes it lets me do everything the vanish does and sometimes it does not.
@brave gyro If you havent playeed pvp, it works out finee
I got 375 with sockete and 365
If i hadnt beeen playing pvp, i would still have 355 daggers
If youree good enough you can farm 370 daggeers eeasily
365 should be very easy though
for anyone
@weak trench just sim the traits, gameplay's the same. And talents. maybe toxic blade is better for you for some reason. In M+, I believe, SS is still the top 1 trait because of constant restealths.
one thing thats not clear to me, can i just conquest cap without spamming ranked for each week ? or do i need a minimum ladder games ?
You can cap by random bgs
im just chillin at around 1600 atm, havent had the chance to do ranked this week
So, good to know
You dont neede any ladder games
Doing ladder is for higher pvp weekly chests
1400-1799 Rating gives you 370 weekly item
You mean 1600-1799 right?
Cant get my hands on any 370er daggers aswell while beeinh 370 ilvl
if i go 1800+ would it give higher? or is it capped atm ?
yesterday, i did a +8 freehold, and 3 of my party members got the Dice trinket (all warforged 375 -380) and non could trade 😦
so, daggers isnt the only thing im not getting 😄
@onyx wind i know its not supposed to be hard, but im just not gettin the stuff i need
No, 2400 Rating gives you 385, which is cap
Just need to spam keys and you"ll get it 👍🏻
except pugging makes you want to kys
Yeah, thats my only option @brisk forge
Thats why i deleted my stupied answear. I shouldnt answear pvp questions xD
guys, can anyone give imput why my dps seems so low? stat distripute should be as optimal as possible https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gmULQ9Cg1WcCejyytGX9Vf
Cant by sim link
link to my armory if u need to see items
Need logs for that
Its your trinket, weapons and traits
you dont have the raid buff turned on from what i see unless im blind
Wait, the titan traits, dont stack, right?
yeah they do
They do? fuuu, i traded a 370 helm to my healer this week 😄 But i do have a 385 SS trait, so i guess its not that important (yet)
^^
but the Titan weekly bonus doesnt stack i meant ?
Correct
i have no SS trait <_<
For ST its not that bad. DD, SB and DitB traits seem to be doing well
i do run 3x SS in M+ tho
You can do well with almost any traits now on ST
^
altho, if u have only one SB, its not that worth as far as I remember
DD + Master Assassin seems to be doing quite well 😮
hah weird i put raid buffs on and i sim 3k less dps 🍮
i think theres something wrong with the raidbot ^^ i should know how to use it and only option i did was put raid buffs on ^^
Your raid is holding u back LUL
😄
hmm dagger in the back so high
might need to switch my last ss piece for that
btw even without SS talents, if u use Subterfuge, then should the start rotation still be 2x garrottes in row when coming from stealth?
No
tried doing garrote mut garrote rup without ss, felt very energy-whore
for what it does
what azerite trade do you wanna go now after nerf on garrote?
guess item level counts more and there are more talents close each other
like double dose,dagger in back and so on..
but uldir ones are quite stronk atm.
btw any other 360 item level assasination rogue sim under 14k on quick sims?
Feelsbadman
stats ?
22crit 16haste 31mastery
sec
I got haste 19 crit 22 and mastery 29 an i sim 13.4k .. level 360..
your azerite pieces are for M+ right ?
Waat even with 370 dagger so low?
yea
that's why
i mean, SS is for raid no?
1 SS max for raid
oh really? doesnt stack?
since the nerf it's not that good
ah yea
I gave 2xarci 1xss and sim as low as u. But both daggers 35es.. might be because of that
sadly
i sim highest with what i have equipped
so, not much i can change until i get diff gear

Can we talk G'huun?
Any tips or tricks to improve dps in p1?
From start, jump to right and dot those 2 close tentacles. Then nuke big guy, remember to take from him one stack for dps boost.
Dps in p1 is literally irrelevant unless you're asking about mythic
doing my first run of Uldir, what gear/bosses should I really try to focus on?
as far as rolls and all that?
None
unless you're doing heroic/mythic
it depends on whar you have already
But i'm assuming you're talking normal
I've got about nothing really 😃
yeah just doing normal now so I can get caught up, been off for six months
probably go for bosses with weapons/azerite then
Yeah just hope you get lucky and ask for stuff you may need
save your rolls
mothers dagger is aight
mother + any of the azerite armor bosses
This might be asked and answered a million times already, ss is still fine for m+ right
ok
Yeah!
ss is still bae for m+
Thanks!
Not sure why anyone would roll in normal 🤔
ill always want to have at least one ss for the bonus cp
Depends on what lvl you play
cause we have no gear at my mythic group doesn't want me until I have gear 😃
it is 2 rolls a week now?
Yes 5 cap
Elinkar if thats the case you still want to hold them
Save them for heroic atleast
Join your guilds HC raid and bonus there
I will be fine once I get a spot back, they will make sure I get geared up quickly
shrugs not a big deal, just having fun
thanks for the help
when should we use FoK? quick guide says 2+ targets, other guide says 3+ - both on ravenholdt
Rogues generally have easy in uldir as nant bis items comes from "easy" bosses. Dagger from mother, chest from fetid..
3
Fetid chest > Ghuun chest? 🤔
Fetid one is for SS
Ah
I usually use still at least 1 ss anywhere i go 😂
I just started my ass gear set today lol
SS isnt better then ghuun atleast when u raid
Atm my ss chest is 340..
isnt ss terrible at 340
welcome to the club
Rezans out dps it at 340 apparently
Sim with titans and you'll be surprised
It is but i dont have betters...
Thats why i roll fetid chest 😀
You get a 355 ss chest with conquest cap
Its linear
so some people still have weapon from week 1
So you get it by catch up
Yeah so you have to wait some weeks
Got Lucky and got 2 mythic daggera from Mother 😎
to catch up at this point if you're on week 1
I'd say i'm doing pretty good for my poop gear
Sim abit low tho
for 340 weapons ya
I am simming at 15450 with 366
im 370 and i sim 13.1k lol
you have two mythic weapons LOL
look at my weapon value
just get 395 weps with socket LOOOOOOOOL
:/
fore head
There's nothing I quite hate in this game more than titanforging
I'll get another outlaw wep before i get another dagger tbh
atleast weeapons cant titanforgee
didnt blizz say that there will be less titanforging in bfa
