i suppose
There is objectively less titanforge
people like titanforge?
The only thing that makes me dislikee titanforge is that you competee with people who have better items becausee of luck
Atleast thereee aree no legeendaries this time around
So its minimal compared to legion
I prefer legendaries to azerite tbh
No you dont
crit/haste/mastery
Yes I do. Game seems very unrewarding like were not playing towards anything
you obviously didn't sit through a raid tier with 2 utility leggos loool
Doesnt matter how much of each with TB spec
legendaries were better
Okay, so what about Azerite?
method of getting them was worse
I had to sit out of fights because my legendaries were bad
You dont sit out fights because ur weeapon doesnt warforgee +10 ilvls
and thats an issue with the way in which you get the legendaries
or you have a subpar trait
I heard that Assassination is best PvP spec, AND traits + stats mean more than ilvl.
not the legendaries themselves
Would simming be beneficial for arena as wel?
I don't know what the traits are though
Basically any traits work
I'd say simming would give me the best answer to what's best in bag
for
arena
stat wise
Just go with highest ilvl
Stats really dont matteer much in bfa
just eenchant/gem ur higheeest simming stat
People that PvP are saying stats and azerite are best
What do you mean best
To keep track of
Compared to what
ilvl
Stats dont really matter
Azerite doesnt really eeither
Unless you wanna push high rank
If you just want to hit 1800, you dont even have to have the right talents either
thats some dogshit advice
Which is why I've wanted to see what's best trait
Its either DD, twist the knife or battle-focus thing
Yes
But you shouldnt be worrying about gear if youre just starting out
Just learn to play ur class instead
I'm 339 ilvl
Trying to optimally gear
For damage
I've mained a Rogue since WoD -_-
If you find it fun, theres no reason not to optimally gear
But you can get 1800 with any gear, talents or traits
only if you're better than 1800
That's not the answer I'm looking for
yh dont listen to that
No offence.
just be pikaboo and take off gear to give your opponents a chance
if you';re new to the class
Optimizing gear is important
because you're getting more dmg for doing nothing
its not like he has to think about his traits constantlyu
Dude... with skill, you still need the damage lol
That's like, saying... I'm skilled so I don't need good gear..
assination is generally a simple spec aswell
Which is more true for pvp than it is for pve
so i dont feel like you're going to be overwhelmed
I'm sorry, but how hard is it to tell me what to use.
We already told you
^
I don't mean to be rude.
skilled but wants to be told
Waste of time
take DD
take twist
^
ST?
My bad
Dense here
Only sometimes! Lol
Then I can sim my stats
As you don't get stats on azerite gear
I have never
just agility and stamina
do stats even matter?
Appareently im an idiot for sayng they dont
Why wouldn't you, sim for Single Target you get more Single Target damage.
Do you not?
You cant compare the dmg on a patchwerk st boss with pvp
There are so many factors that makee it impossible to compare
Valid
From what I've seen personally, damage varies from what you see.
If you hit someone less geared than you, you'll see 10k, they'll see 8k.
Or at least that's what I've seen with testing on a friend
So, how do you tell.
play some pvp
^
Thats what ive been trying to say
Focus less on gearing and more on playing
And you will rank up a lot faster
Mostly because youre actually playing ^_^
So a crit haste ring, would be better than a vers mastery ring for assassination.
Just an example.
probs not
If youve been playing rogue since wod
You should know what stats are good
in general
And what thosee stats do
@strange python haste sims pretty well atm, so makes sense
They're talking PvP though
Remain the same
Veej
oh ok
Stat priority is based on a 5 minute fight on a boss that stands still
Its completely unreliablee
Sorry for talking PvP in PvE, no one was responding in PvP
So Versatility then. Vers is usually known to be king on everything PvP.
Then Mastery because of bleeds damage increase
Then Crit
Then Haste
Go to twitch haha
Like Pika for ex
Leet mee ask you someething
When do you think stats matter thee moest
When you aree playing at a top level, with next to perfect playstyle
Or when youre at low rank, learning to play pvp
Which is why you should just focus on ilvl
and not stats
which ive beeen telling you for 15+ minutes
should watch pshero play with his fresh 120
I'm watching PS right now lol
Does exsanguinate affect crimson tempest?
NO
OK
@candid jasper Does exsanguinate affect crimson tempest? Yes
Ct doesn't return E from poison hits though.
there is no agility weapon enchant right?

Nope
A fire mage with 4 ilvl 100 pieces is able to do one set up and LITERALLY one shot.
ilvl does not matter, just stats lol
pleasee dont triggeer me more than you already have
9 +40 gems... lol
Most of warriors run stormbolt, that means they have only one charge
and u have crippling poison
idk if i have to say more?
why are all the rogue streamers using assa for m+?
people here always say sub is better for m+
doesnt seem right
seems like the specs arent that far from each other
have not seen any streamer play sub in a high level yet
even in mythic uldir
how is assa close now after shrouded suffocation has been fucked
My dps fell few k every pack :/
do we only use deadly poison for M+ and raids?
yes
in which m dungeons do good daggers drop?
Shift-J ingame
oh nice tham you
M+ damage for me felt pretty much the same with SS nerf
the dungeon journal
you can look at all the dungeons that drop weapons
first row and tol dagor drop weapons
hey do i use Crimson tempest on ST in m+ if i can exsang it?
are the sims on the simulationcraft site accurate?
I only see assa rogues at the top of the meters in good guilds
never see sub
i've been hearing people say teeming got nerfed last night but can't find a source for it anywhere, is it true or nah?
it is true
it is known
heard that aswell from jdotb he said they change stuff in m+ without posting about it often
yup
its the weekend, youll the bluepost tomorrow
which is gonna miss half the stuff anyways probably
nice! guess ill finally go do motherlode for my m+ score
was about to say, youll see a bluepost. maybe. and it wont include everything anyway
motherlode hasnt really been affected by it tho, since motherlode was basically fine already
its stuff like underrot that saw some significant changes
oh i thought motherlode would be the worst with teeming since it already has 2 million trash packs
The trick to doing motherlode is having a warlock.
Clear 100% up to the second boss and then death run the next two bosses.
Thanks, i'll try it out:)
It works pretty well. Farm the easy adds and soulstone the healer and skip boss 3 and 4s trash
So do we use fan of knives azerite trait to be useful in m+ as assa now?
MA Vanish + Poisoned Knife with 3 SB?
Master Assad in is dogshit
Seems pretty low.
Should have like 1k higher
I got 3 ilvls but about 1k more
Yeah..
But that could be from traits and optimization.
quick question: do you guys try to max out envvenoms during your toxic blade window or do you still space them out for the envenom buff (so it lasts longer)?
use finisher 4+, pool before TB comes off CD. And you should AIM for 2 envenom in that Window, dont be below 2 envenom
yeah thats what i kinda thought as well @brisk forge , thanks a lot dude!
is it normal that crit sims highest for me single target ?
that seems strange to me
ill resimm
Yeah you only have 527 crit. When you hit 20% ish it'll probably drop down. Crit is huge early because of how it works.
Like from 5-10% is huge. 10-20 is great. Past that it diminishes further and further
Haste Vers etc scale more linearly
its rly strange i just simmed exacly the same gear, but now it tells me haste is King .. like i expected
ah okay
Weird
thanks m8
ill do it again and if it shows me crit now again sth is going wrong on raidbots

one question about poisons that have bafled me long time, why ppl use on raids and m+ only deadly poisons? why not use both poisons deadly and grippling?
Crippling poison does not do something in a lot of fights, I always have both on but unless you need to slow many targets it makes no difference
low ? im 20 ilvl sbove u with +500 dps
Running wrong talents
10*
i've simmed talents and all my gear piecesx
how many SS's are you running
@dapper moat the only one i thing we can argue about not using crippling would be mythrax fight if you are helping taking people off the orbs
everything else i dunno why people wouldn't use it
maybe sanguine weeks removing crippling can be good
but i'm fairly sure crippling poison triggers venomouns wounds too so i dunno why people wouldn't use it on m+
0 SS sims higher for me single target than 2 SS
yea ss got nerfed a bit and isn't the best friggin' in slot trait for every scenario
now ilvl matters on pieces
some are running reorigination array with double doses or sharpened blades ... depends on your gear
now agi sims lower then haste ๐
( because of high ilvl pieces )
Wish the ghuun trinket with the tendril was better
Love that lil dick worm popping up
lul
are you guys simming no buffs or buffed
It actually won me a 3v3 match last night
ty ongbak
so whats the deal with exsang? do you need at least 2 SS to make it worthwhile? Is it better with more haste? im just not getting why its so popular all of the sudden
sims good and a few fights it syncs up nicely with the timing of switching targets or "blow your cds now"
I see, i only have one SS right now so its prob not worth taking
for vectis, vanish/vendetta/exs syncs up EVERY time he comes back from his pool
some guys here sim better with exs even w/o SS's
i saw one or two around 15k dps
so i simmt it 6 times now... can anyone help me and tell me whats wrong with my gear ๐ฎ https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8pT7YdVyrXQP4WecPiMGyo
you dont have 2nd trait in shoulders or what?
dont have the level yet
it's not wrong, there's few stuff here and there you could change but it's a decent amount
like haste enchants
jea i mostly run m+ thats why i have crit
no i have different ones ๐ i could maybe switch ring enchants
ur right
have to see if i use the same
rest gear is my raiding gear tho ๐
yes
2 sb 1 dd
Could you guys tell me when to pool energy ? If I use Evenom and then decide to pool energy right after to clip the Envenom debuff it seems like i am not taking advantage of the Elaborate Planning damage increase by using 1-2 mutilates ?
@valid atlas does that mean its low ? xD
its not low i think
@charred lantern I'm 349 and sim 13.3. So yeah a bit low.
its %16 haste
its hard to find haste gear eh
i have %22 crit %16 haste %28 master %4 versa
16 is prob fine. It's probably traits and trinkets.
what azerite traits do you use
i use 2 sb 1 dd on single target
dont have the raid traits cus i dont raid that much
your stats are almost identical to mine and I sim 15.2, its just ilvl, azerite and trinkets
like he said
im 371
i see thankyou
are u guys running ct this week?
And for any one else until the end of time. Do not dm me asking about traits unless you have a sim showing the difference and want some help picking for certain conditions.
Always.
Can someone take a look at why my dps seems so low for my ilvl?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5fFrCKDiXd6LAR9Li9iBBQ
you always play ct
why my sim seems so low*
@fossil jewel what traits is that. And why don't you have a fathoms trinket.
love the galecallers trinket ๐
@lone junco 2x AOTT, 1x SB. Cant afford fathoms sadly :/ Started on a new server this xpac
i don't really enjoy fathoms for m+ ร_ร
Use top gear to pick out the traits. Because the 2nd archive isn't top value.
Yeah. Fathoms is Garbo in cleave.
@drifting cloud pb for tyrannical tho
i alredy thought i might exchange it for a harlans for m+
you should play Ct on tyrannical aswell
why am I seeing top rogues using pb for tyrannical then
@lone junco Yeah, thats what I did, but 2x AOTT was best for me for some reason
Sin value is the cleave. In all cases. Let the lock do more than 2% extra.
@muted jacinth watch seliathan if you want top rogue.
link to stream?
twitch.tv/incarnated i think?
Yah.
yes thats the one
I'll ss and watch later
hi everybody ! does we have cap on assassination ?
his 15 underrot yesterday, running ct according to him
He will tell you that your 12-25% Ct pulls are more valuable than the pb. In most all cases. Except like 15 snake temple. 3rd boss needs every ounce
@split fjord if you don't wear a hat, you will miss out on some good azerite traits.
Yeah.
? don t understand that maybe i don t have pose the good question
There are no stat caps that we worry about.
Haste for single target goes all the way up. Currently above agi at like 20%.
poor Noobe, tried to make a funny 
@split fjord you mean haste cap?
Tried.
yeah haste and crit cap
dont worry I appreciated it
@daring imp What traits is he running?
well around when i got to 20% my haste values were lowered to the same as agi, but i don't think there's a cap at all following my own sims @_"
@strange python he runs 3x SS
"Made a funny". Splinter from TMnt the movie LOL
ok ty @daring imp
Yeah. G g g Ct.
And no
would it be a bad idea to macro galecallers to exeg ๐ค
probably not
didn't test today
they'll only fix this SS bug when there are no more azerite traits, "ok so now we got no bugs to fix regarding that"
@unkempt wing just super important if you do that to use gc before exsang
because it snapshots
iz does ?.ooo
fk then im doing it wrong all the time
for assassination? nah
@unkempt wing I have had it macroed in a few places.
as good as you hardly will find
unless some godly azerite piece
yea, even so, probably not
If feel that they increased the circle size from first week.
restealths favor ss too much to pass
So I guess its worth running 3x SS still then
Im running 370 archive, 2x SS (355, 340)
how u sim,michee?
Only if you can restealth and want to do top damage every pull with no CDs.
@dapper moat ST?
i dont think its worth changing my 385 Rezans to 340 SS tho for m+
aye
I think its something like 14,6k
nice
well with 3x 340 ss's my garrotes still are ~35%ish of my overall dmg so unless something can close that much of a gap ...
^ mostly for m+
for raiding should sim it to be sure but probably worse than others on st unless high azerite piece
Yeah, I think i'll switch the 370 archive for 340 SS
i use 2xss 1xarchi in m+ and raids
i also think i might change my laser 355 to 340 SS
might go 3x ss on m+ though
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/35712720#difficulty=4 can anyone tell me what im exactly doing wrong. i feel like im doing everything right
but why use the uldir traits outside of uldir?
370 archive gives u 240 agil
which fight @smoky lantern ?
any weak auras for tracking subterfuge empowered garrote ? It could be real useful with a SS build
i think mizerok's tracks but only on target
I still overwrite some empowered garrote out of habit, because I'm dumb, that's why.
i saw some aff warlock weakauras for tracking every different unstable affliction cast, making a diff progress bar
i dunno how to exclusively track emp garrotes tho
some lua code cast from stealth or under subterfuge aura, not sure how
heh np i do that same mistake sometimes too ^^ i try to keep in miund and let them tick through
2xSS and 1 scent of blood sims higher than 3 SS https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tdJVNoRyfZbQwW1drCSqHb
1 minute
simming for m+ adds was 3 min hectic add cleave right?
no
doesn't take into account restealths at all like that
has to be lower duration to get the phat SS in
oh yeah, forgot about that
Hello, does anyone know if I should be using 2 SS or 1 SS and something else?
@frigid sleet ok but how do I sim different traits? Do I have to respec each time?
you can select & compare your different traits in here using simc addon to get your ingame infos
@open elbow https://wago.io/HJDl54BtX
its the same as https://wago.io/rkHttDJBQ , but with empowered coloring on rupture and garrote
This weakaura based on Enkey's Rogue All in 1 and updated for BfA Origin weakaura https://wago.io/HyTFFBSV- 26.08.2018 Update: Outlaw: Fix: Display icon
and subterfuge timer
hey, quick rotation question, the guide says use rupture in opener, but doesn't mention it in overall rotation, is that correct, or am I reading it incorrectly?
You are reading incorrectly
@grim rose Thanks man !
np
ok cool, so I should be maintaining it
Yeah, it mentions in the guide when you should refresh it
Herodmg says best setup is 3x sharpened blades (shuriken toss, poisoned knife dmg), and it also says that one archive of the titans is by far the best trait to have, so which is it?
Should i be doing 3x sharpened blades or 2x sharpened and one archive?
Archive of the titans becomes better every week
i heard 2x aott is pretty hot
Remember that the reo array only works in uldir
No it doesnโt toph
Itโs the same
it does, 2ndary stats increase
and im asking for raid setup
traits that only work in uldir is such a terrible idea :ยง
yeah u are cunt, im asking others
because i dont even have those traits, i just need quick info which someone in here is bound to have
Iโm telling you to sim because thatโs the best way of determining which traits are the best
Well you can compare gear in raidbots
setting sim setup for just that seems a bit overdoing it, and defeats all the purpose of this channel, what is it for if only help we get here is "go sim yourself" that sounds very close to something entirely different
?????
everyone in here just says sim urself, wont find a real answer here lol
i guess
Thatโs how u find ur best gear

Yeah, I just said it like that because array only works when you have an uldir item
Yup
I'm guessing you understood that
I dont need best setup for me specifically, im asking if in general 3 sharpened blades are better for raid than 2 + archive because herodmg confused me
Depends on ilvl
370 archive, rest would be 340
Depends on how many arrays u got too
what is current max?
depends on ilvl and # of stacks but AoTT will be king eventually for uldir
4?
3
Yup
by tuesday u mean next id?
Next reset

Rule of thumb: 99% of the information is available via links found in this Discord. Most people only came here for those links. The 1% of information not found in those links cannot be answered by a majority of the people on the Discord because they're here for the 99% of the information found in the links and reading answers to other people's 1% questions, not comprehensive analysis of the class.
Well its precisely that information that caused confusion that caused me to ask about it
Best course of action: Utilize links and be self-sufficient, until you hit a 1% question ๐
sorry i used the channel for what i thought is its purpose
hope you dond hate me yet oddmass
I wasn't directing my comment towards you ๐
Just compare gear on raidbots
Yeah you can find the answer by simming
toph u arent even blind
With gear compare
I could. But i dont see how would i do that if i dont even have 1 sharpened blade on me, let alone 3 to compare them to 2 vs archive
I guess i'd have to do some string editing
Gear compare letโs u chose items u donโt have
and i never simmed myself once in my life, i always did math myself
Its just that azerite traits arent clear when it comes to numbers
pen and paper
On a paper with a pen
Okay
using quaternions
good luck with getting accurate results that way
well i cant really do that with azerite anymore
thats why i thought i will ask rogue community for their thougts, didnt think its that big of a deal especially after i checked the website and asked specific question about info i found there
I usually do my simulations on pen and paper, but it gets pretty crazy when I have like 10,000 iterations.
U seem mad
Lol
Lmao
Just make gearsets on raidbots see what traits are the best for you
@placid ermine You have to understand that a majority of the folks regurgitate information.
And that you're engaging with more than a few of them right now.
Or just look on Warcraft logs to see what people are using
Anything less than 5,000 iterations is just noise
@inner pulsar you using that calculator in your profile pic to sim stuff?
No, I use the tools provided that make it accuratate, you know, like Raidbots
Yeah but, I came here for feelings not facts.
Bwaaah what traits are the best
can someone explain how the suffocate sin trait works and why it is so strong currently?
it does damage
azerite trait*
It adds more damage to garrote
More dps with garrote used with the stealth buff
It does good damage
Good CP generation is the cherry on top
!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.
๐ค
๐ค
Sin RtB build when?
Ss bug fix when?
HOW did i break my gear so hard lmaoo
you seem to lack some haste
@strange python Never
You didn't
it's better to run poison bomb in m+, not crimson tempest?
@daring imp any man my parses are bad
Also, I Roll The Bones all day dawg
That's the case for a lot of people lul
@ebon gulch sim yo self
but pb was good in antorus
Hmmm
@ebon gulch Ok, this is one time my name is not always the answer, because simming m+ is pretty tough
Fuck crimson and maintaining a 3rd poison
Pb is poo poo now outside of single target
CT is presumed to be better at higher keys, or bigger pulls
CT does good damage
on aoe
as far as M+ goes, once your Crit/Mastery get up there, CT becomes pretty nice
People still think PB does the same dmg as it did in legion

It does less than half of it (the AP scaling)
I sim m+ with like 5 boss 2 min fight. Obviously it's not perfect but it helps.
PB is really weak atm
CT is just better for aoe. Pb is only good because there is nothing else on that row for st
Rip old PB 
No one misses old PB.
More RNG than OL
They should have kept kingsbane on that row.
how do we get +10 bonus?
Instead of PB.
I'm not saying that Kingsbane was complex, but it certainly was more fun.
Smh
Can we talk about warriors
no
Okay.
Ofc blizz takes stuff away, they take ur spells, ur abillities, ur traits, ur social life, ur sex life, greedy ol'bastards
Point proven!
Is it worth it to refresh rupture with 2-3 cp to fit in one more 4-5 cp envenom into a toxic blade
Guide says TB on CD, is that because it's not worth to pool energy in order to cast more envenom since it's barely one envenom more?
Shit I'm married and I've chosen WoW over a sex life before...
Same.
Less cp rupture isnโt less damage
All the time. But Friday night is for wife.
It just lasts a few sec less
^
There are a lot of times where i have 4-5 cp and 1 second left on toxic blade but 2-3 seconds on rupture.
Hey guys! I was wondering, is it worth saving vanish/garrote for Exsanguinate when running with SS?
@tropic tulip you can adjust the apl to do a >=3 rupture with tb and it's probably a wash for the entire fight. But you can test that
Check the guide
Thinking about it i think the envenom then shorter rupture is better. ye ill try to sim it
@hybrid hull no
Basically. If the sim for 3cp is an insignificant loss. Then you can do it as you see fit around tb and probably be a personal gain.
U want as many exsanguites in fight as possible
Line vanish up with vendetta tbh
Yeah
Try vanishing with vendetta, but it vendetta is up but vanish not, you always vendetta
Vendetta always on cd
SS vanish exang apl can be adjusted around vuln windows. Like orbs or mother or vectis.
when your azerite traits are so fucked up even raidboss makes fun of you
https://i.gyazo.com/98d9c96e7deb34f37bb3c3ec26f417af.png
@strange python That's absolutely not what the apl says.
What

If you run SS and delay the vanish until 0:15. Then you delay vendetta to the vanish at 215.
But you could read that in the apl yourself.
If you are mashing stuff Willy nilly. Then that's on you.
Im consistently 1k short of my sims feelsbadman
At least your conssistant
Which fight? And are you using big boy flasks and food?
seems liek adds live for like 10-15
are you running flasks and food? sim accounts for those
Just hitting a dummy in boralus. ive tried with and without buffs
gonna ready through the apl to see wtf im doing wrong
what energy do you guys normally pool to
lust vendetta is dmg
I mean i turned buffs off in the sim as well. simming 11k without buffs. just over 10k every attempt on a dummy
If you are taking dummy vs sim.
Overall to account for the vanish?
You can log the dummy testing to see what uptimes you are getting and compare damage profile vs sim.
@smoky lantern they aren't, fetid is pretty good @_@"
too many mechanics to do on groups that aren't entirely 99'ish parses
@hybrid hull A lot of the massive SS logs from Tyrarolls has. Vendetta vanish exang sync due to boss mechanic and fight end time. If you gave trouble reading the simc sample sequence, might try looking at some logs that are well above average.
@lone junco thanks, will do!
This is a dumb question but I just want to clarify. Do you vanish before vendetta or other way around?
And when you vanish you repeat the opener thatโs in the guide with garrote rupture garrote vendetta mutilate envenom and so on?
Yes @fiery haven
oh Eleem is back
Anyone here use the addon Hekili? Just wondering if it handles aoe cases properly with assassin...
Like triple garrote out of stealth and stuff
@void oracle does it handle st properly? Been curious myself. Used to for ret and ww monk and seems to work well
I'm going to test it out on a target dummy. I was using it during an m+ and it seemed ok. Sometimes it has trouble seeing how many enemies are in range of you
So switching between st and mt rotations isn't the best
guys where do i put vanish with MA as opener without SS?
@void oracle ya maybe we can shorten the range of enemies that it starts to aoe?
Does deadeye spyglass affect aoe targets, or just st like eye of command from legion
What with MotD on HeroDmg ?
somone noticed that laser matrix is pulling stuff in m+ since the last patch?
Just use your eyeballs. G g g Ct. tab ruptures on the elites. Use exang each pull. Vendetta exang on the prio baddies.
Hekili is prob silly for m+
i have a question guys for m+ i got 1x ss chest and 1x dagger inthe back chest which one o must use ?
can ise use 2x ss + 385 dagger ?
my ss chest 340 dagger in the back chest 385 buy the way
No one can realistically answer that, you need to sim
i know but aoe sims not really give exact result
was away for 3-4 days and i see MA is being used on hero damage. whats up with that and where can i find the new rotation? a short tldr will be relaly appreciated

They're as accurate as you can get. Otherwise try both and see how you do, do some feelycraft if you're not gonna use sims
Yo. Is double dose good atm or no? I've been unsure of what to choose for azerite traits..
I mean for everything. Pvp, m+, raiding. I mean which is best for each. Lol..
what pots do u guys use?
Visthra what traits are you running
you already know about shroud bug?
could explain why youre having differences in just opener
!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.
what is teh bug
If he's doing the ST opener correctly there's no chance of overwriting Garrote
Read MechaMoroes ๐ he is better at english then i am
Opener can change massively depending on procs, crits etc
i mean its not hard
i should have asked if ST
its just garrote rupture garrote
or aoe
then reapply with vanish x2
If your opener changes THAT much, you must be doing something wrong. Otherwise it's not hard to realise that stuff can effect your opener
has anyone analyzed nattles new video where he does +40k burst? wtf? ๐
Hi guys I'm trying out exsang, is there any snapshotting I should be aware of? Vendetta before applying bleeds? Or can I just vendetta and us trinks and it will automatically apply to my exsang buffed DoTs
it only snapshots haste
Snapshots haste on cast is my understanding
I am not 100% certain about trinks/ven, havent tested yet, but you could test on a dummy pretty ez
vendetta doesnt snapshot. trinkets do if they add haste.
What type of sim would you run for something like Zul?
Would Hectic Add Cleave be a more reliabkle source, or would you run a patchwerk of something like 4 targets
actually
Zul is kinda mainly a ST fight
But just ST prior with excess padding on adds
Wait are people actually using master assassin now or is that a meme
MA is usually with 3x SB no?
Sorry I @d ther wrong person there
does shroud reset when u start an m+ key?
MA sims higher with DD as well, at least for me
!stat
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
why mastery is valued over vers haste in multi target though
Vendetta snapshots haste you mean? or Exsanguinate snapshots haste? sorry
MA sims with 2 DD 1 SS higher than SUBTER
u dont need haste in multi target
WIPE
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Because garrote and rupture will generate ur energy
not much but higher
my RL made me give him the heroic dagger from mother 
Exsang sims lower than TB for me
ok
300 dps
my exang with 2ss 1 archive is about even with TB archive 1sharp blade 1 twist the knife.
btw, is everyone following what bloodmallet says 100%? cause im seeing in logs all sort of combinations
and with crazy dmg outputs
its better to sim urself
@thin ingot it depends on fight timings imo. nothing is patchwerk 5min. closest we have is fetid but the fight is too short, and zul if you assume that adds are ignored.
yeah noobe so ita absolutly up to you what you use, EXS is great on very short fights, TB is sustained a bit more and for ppl they wan't a mroe chiled opener ๐
chilled
guys how many wipes did you need to down mythic zekvoz
delayed exang to gc.
then delayed vendetta to vanish.
all the way down the line.
yeah we know the rotation ๐
exeo told me not to hold exsg for gcb 
have you tried 2x SB @lone junco ?
Or 2x DD 1x Archive
dat picturespam
ther are always these spammer ,9
point being. 19.4k fetid with synced cds.
yeah the gameplay is shit but i have high ilvl pieces so im kinda forced to do it
I will continue to use the 2ss 1archive
even with pieces 30ilvls lower?
2 DD 1 Archive sims higer for me samn ILVL
you guys using crimson tempest for m zekvoz?
@fast nacelle eww. thats nasty
So archive isn't that good outside of Uldir, correct?
depends on ilvl. but sim the gap
make sure to disable the stacks
I use 3ss for M+ still.
i just drop my 370 Archive for a 340 SS for m+
Lol, I'm running 2 different 355 chests. One with archive for raid and one with ss outside
not even that big of a gain TBH
m+ i run 2DD 1SS
still got a fuken 340 shoulders at 372 ilvl LUL
seli runs exang in high M+ keys. Says that the energy gain from the bleed ticks is better than anything TB can produce.
probably has to do with large pack foc speed.
we pull a lot smaller, and the exang is nice for SS prio burns.
truth
hi
best part of ss in M+ is the fat cleave over and over and over without needing cds. just a restealth
@onyx falcon annoyed tbh. I liked having 1 trait for Single be the same trait for M+.
the respec is killing my coins
is it ok do apply CT with less as 4 CP in AOE Cleave Situations in m+ or is the energy gain not worth it? same for rupture
better than relics destroying
to*
more than anything ive been annoyed how SS has been nerfed twice and fixed once and its still bugged
i think TB and EXS are pretty even but have both diffrent strenghth - so the balance is good
and since the SS nerf MA is also getting bertt
better
I will never play sharp knife.

so Ill just ahve to make the ss work.
I did it for a full clear. was not something I will enjoy
SB is just a thing...
idk atm SS seems like something that feels unfun to play w/o atm cause of the CP gen
and w/o SS vanish is just useless
is it a good to stack 3 SS for uldir?
besides the 1 hit from NS if youre running it
Noob you know ther is also Double Dose`?
or 3 hits from garrote
there
@rain breach I have like 5 hats 9 shoulders and 7 chest to work with all about the same ilvl. I am aware of them. I like the SS/GC/ Exang synergy with absurd peaks.
its going to change at crit lvls i believe.
when we can actually produce Env uptimes etc.
yo you tried DoubleDose already
yeah think 30% crit is the way to go for
hmm when i think about for a working sealfate build oin vanilla it was abut 27%/28% crit to work find
funny it is the same here
+if
and i'm only at 21 atm ๐ฆ
21/17/29/1
so they actually datamined SB buffs and SS nerfs? xd
tehy changes are in simcraft nightly
btw according to herodamage MA+MoD paired with DD pulls ahead on ST
hmm im not the fan of MoD
me neither but im wondering when it actually will pull ahead because for me it does not so far
with hoigt crit i think Deeper Strat could be an option maybe
im only at 23% ๐ฆ
รฝeha sux
yeah need much more crit for test it ๐
so is 2 DD and 1 SS better than 3 SS?
looks like this beats my 2ss 1archive exang by about 90 dps.
aka. the only thing that matters is fight timings
and maximizing vuln burst phases.
and Orb buffs on Zekvoz
and vectis cycles.
if 2min vanish and SS aligns better, it will be a gain. if you can tunnel zul then pure st may be better, but any time you can vanish ggg, then ss will be better.
so, strict simmers, need to use their brain and make sure that the sim matches their fight
in the end we all goin to find a good swiss knife build ๐
it is nice to throw an add for 25-50k
Could someone clarify a few things for me? As long as I keep my bleeds I cast from subterfuge from falling off (no SS) does the bonus damage continue to apply after reapplication? Can I also get bonus damage out of EP? Do they overwrite each other?
but,
hmm good qustion i would say yes
To which part?
no u can only refresh subt garrote with another subt garrote
otherwise you just refresh it to a normal garrote
hmm k
Even if I'm not running SS? I thought I read somewhere that the subt damage stays but the SS falls off
ss just adds dmg to garrote
Does this same logic apply to the G/Mut/rupt opener?
that was teh point on the garrot outside of stealth bug
If you want to play subterfuge without SS. Run a sim and read the sample sequence opener.
without SS maybe you rund also better with MA
what ever atleast the SS nerf make this theoriecrafting much more fun now ๐
simming is the opposite of fun
Simming is hella fun
Where can I find the sample sequence Noobe?
Knife probably scales with haste. So at least that's a thing.
Run a 100k sim. Click the HTML in the raidbot summary. Scroll to apl. Then sample sequence.
does anyone know why SS is worth stacking at all? I dont understand. According to the description, it merely adds a few hundred damage. How is that a big contribution to your dps?
it stacks with the 80%increase from subterfuge
In cleave an M+ the damage adds up
now do the math
Azerite tooltips LUL
Didn't I hear the damage is added to each tick?
take that few hundred damage, multiply by 3, and add the increase with subterfuge
thats why its good
!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.
Nearly all traits show incorrect values, or well, they show base values and not how much damage it does with your current agi
And yes every tick
๐ค
"-Shrouded Suffocation works by buffing each tick of garrote, rather than some other mean to increase overall damage."

Ok since ss is bugged. Do you guys have a good way to keep track of the 3s after unstealth? A weak aura or something?
I don't

does anyone know how to make kui track dead-eye spyglass?
how much haste do you guys have?
for raiding, close to 21%, for m+, close to 8%
When is that screenshot from Ong?
