what do u run for raiding azerite traits wise
what sims the most to me atm, 370 laser with 385/340 sb
@lone junco even tho dd sims higher for you, it is prob still not worth. None of the raid fights is designed for DD uptime to be worth. SS will give you more dmg 90% of the time in raid but will tell you that you sim lower.
Why would you track Subterfuge when you know it's just 3 gcds
to cast garrote on the very last milisecond of it
i'm a minmax bitch sry
also to know when not to cast if mobs are running to the tank
if some of them aren't on my range anymore
to ensure i don't accidentally cast one out of subterfuge
why does raiding require so much haste and m+ doesnt?
Longer fights
m+ you deal with trash way more than boss
and trash fights aren't that long
more targets = mastery/crit value goes up
Yeah I prob need to sim more multi target fights
in m+ you get energy from multi dotting so you dont need haste
^
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
So whats a good opener for using MA with no SS traits? Would you still open with a garrote?
@daring imp Ongbak, as someone who plays SS I want your opinion on something. For raid, the sims don't put SS over DD/AotT/LM. Then in M+ its the same thing for crit boosting traits / SoB. In your experience is this because of the sims being incorrect, or is this truly the case?
the thing is, simming m+ is quite tricky because of the amount of mobs your tank will be pulling per pack and because you also have bosses that you most likely won't want to agro trash packs with it ( like people did with sub on low keys or m0's )
Theres nothing else to open with as assassination, so yea Garrote
when simming for trash packs on m+ i do 3~6 bosses for 40s~1min
i know the general rotation for single target won't suffer that much if i change my entire stats
where can we get the apl to read through
so spec'ing to kill trash quickly is generally better
if you sim some hectic add cleave for 3~5min you do not take restealths into account, and SS's good because of restealths
@mint cairn I don't use SS and generally my opener is still garrote, though depending on number of targets I try to throw a subt buffed Rupture in there.
I usually never do hectic add cleave for that reason
Tooltip fixes?
no clue lul
Wait what slice and dice assassination lmao
Make SnD great again
That would definitely put Slice n Dice a bit higher on my priority list, but I don't know... The energy returns would be pretty wild on ST fights
if only snd would come back and affect our bleeds
Do we have any kind of haste cap to aim for? or just pump iuts aslong as it sims highest?
pump that as long as it sims highest
Well that would be the unrivaled choice at that point. Does the instant proc of Deadly Poison generate energy?
@north leaf subt doesn't buff rupture?
@north leaf no
I have low single target dmg but my aoe is good do I just need more haste?
Should you maintain EP on vendetta even with 2-3 combo point envemenom ?
@heavy forge You are correct, coffee is wearing off. Generally the idea for non SS openers should be G, mut, g, rupt
tfw 3 SS tho
True didn't think of the energy. Just forget the buff ?
Is laser matrix crap outside of uldir? Or is it viable in m+
Feels so good, but feels REAL bad when you have a tank who chain pulls M+ and doesn't let you restealth until the healer needs mana
If tank won't let you restealth. Just leave.
Good evening, mateys. How exactly does Archive of the Titans work with sims? How does it account for the stacks you have gathered (the ones that increase your highest secondary stat) if at all? Or does it just ignore that?
He's my tank though, I've adapted to running pure crit buff traits
If they are guildy then yell at them.
@tepid frost If you use Raidbots.com, they take into account all reorigination stacks you have. You can even set it to 0-10 yourself.
Can still pull 10mobs and give a 3sec gap for stealth.
Pure crit is still good for FOK.
If you have zero restealth. Then try 3scent.
No point of chainpull if u run with rogue in group
I was able to pick up 1 piece for SoB, but it replaces my 375 AotT
source?
Your
Assassination (Level 36)
Envenom
Eviscerate refreshes your Slice and Dice duration to its 5 combo point maximum.
ord does it for us refesh rupture?
no that has been in since beta
Nevermind, still fucked.
well. after 20 or so various level shrine keys i finally got a galecallers lol
so where in the opener do you pop this bad boy
so atelast no real changes on the PTR for ASSA
unless ur class is fucked you will only get new traits
seems they nerfed SS again oir this are the nerf we alread y got?
already in game
i doubt anyone can get to 30% crit
anyone have a garrote weakaura where the timer changes colors if its empowered
im at 24%crit, every single piece gives me crit right now
pop trinkets with vendetta in opener
is assa guide @urban deltahold solid?
yea
I have 28% crit in m+ gear
@tropic tulip ty
What would you guys say is a reasonable uptime for Elaborate Planning? Most of my raid logs are showing me at 50-65%
i have a hard time with that on some fights as well
wowanalyzer is a good tool for that kind of stuff
That's where I'm grabbing my numbers from 😄
Is your downtime sitting at about 50% with 77% uptime?
🤔 Well I have some work to do then.
its not perfect but gives you an idea
there are times when you do not use anything for about 5 sec
hmm k so we arn't able to get taht hightb on crit atm
@limber lion Where do you change the stacks of Reorigination array? can't find the option on Raidbots (maybe I'm just blind). Do you have to change something in the string you get from Simulationcraft?
@sudden trench how do you see that information?
@strange python Get your logs from raid, go here https://wowanalyzer.com paste the log link at the top and select your name. Then scroll down and boom, you've got it
@north leaf never knew this tool existed. Think i love you a little bit
I raid lead. This is how I help my team improve 😃
shrouded suffocation or twisting the knife
so if I do x3 garrote then vanish and x3 garrote again but with 3 target that didnt had garrote damage still get "bugged" or should be fine?
The SS bug happens when you garrote outside of the subterfuge window
You will be fine goose
k thanks 😄
Interesting hoq on my 99% and 100 for item level it tells me im shit
@north leaf i dont trust it :)
wowanalyzer did only support sub in legion
It tells everyone they are shit. Shows you how to improve. It isn't a catch all for mistakes, but definitely can show you where you're improvement windows are
Can someone Tell me how i Open packs in m+? Or more like how i do aoe?
It seems to not take pooling into account or understand how elaborate planning windows work
Ä
it comes down to whoever maintains it
99.8% uptime on my dots. The rest i feel is just bullshit
It also tells you that Battle pot of Intellect is the pot you should be using. So theres that
Lol
How do you change the stacks of Reorigination Array on Raidbots? I can't seem to find that option. Do you have to change something in the simulationcraft output or something?
@north leaf that made me smile
@tepid frost advanced options, there is a check box where you change simc version
if you tick it you get the array as a option
@vestal wren i feel drastically weak. 3 raid resets not a single azerite piece
Greetings
gear is a big factor
I hope my m10 cache or this reset coming will shine some light into this dying star
great system, azerite armor.
and you need to have luck^^
master assassins mantle was the last legendary I could possibly get for one of my loot specs in Legion
i play assassination rogue, right now my main focus is raiding and also mythic dungeons. My item level is at 346. I'm at Uldir Mythrax boss but from a few fights until this boss i have been told that i'm outputting low dps. Anyone here that plays sin spec at raids could tell me what build they are using, any particular gems and /or enchants?
First 2 weeks. 95-99s, 2 x 100 for bracket and last reset after ss nerf and no other pieces to rorate in i still wrecked but felt like i was a wet fish. If you get my drift
not really digging the waiting a week to get gloves in my cache system
@vestal wren indeed. I am jusr salty i wasnt lucky enough to loot replacements before they balanced it
That's going to happen a lot if they don't figure out the azerite availability and balancing
ah, finally found it. I really am blind. Thanks, mate @vestal wren
@woven night use simulationcraft addon with raidbots.com and pawn addon to find stat weights to optimise gear
Never know what's next
Read the guides in the pinned section of discord (top right, looks like a drawing pin)
Then practice your rotations and cds on a target dummy. And then practice on bosses whilst avoiding mechanics.
Is there a Guide or video guide that covers m+ ? For example which dots to use when? In the ravenholdt Guide is nothing of that sort
also hope you dont get send through early on mother 😛
@vestal wren lol. I demanded in a very pleasant way to be left till last
No point sending a dot based class through early :)
@queen moth try get 3 x ss pieces, run crimson tempest. G,g,g ct then rupture and fok spam
I'm going to have to fiddle with SS in M+, from what I've seen it isn't quite as effective as stacking crit traits
Unless you're running Scent of Blood, always CT first
Get that ticking on everything, then rupture stuff inbetween FoN spam
Ok ty ❤
420 haste, blaze it
I wish hidden blades was viable in m+
Fathoms still better than both rofl
oh thats 10 seconds and 8 stacks. disregard
is crimson tempest decent in keys?
@surreal rivet the way to go this week and probably all other weeks
if tyrannical then u go PB
k ill try it in this freehold
i hate crimson
Hi guys, I am considering rolling a Rogue as a main. My main so far is warr, which is nice because I can queue up as a tank to normal, hc and mythic dungs and basicaly any pve activity that is not with a guild is very fast with almost no waiting time for me. And I don't mind tanking, actually I kinda enjoy it. But, just today I discovered like 2-3 dungeons have nice use for rogues. Here's a gate rogues can unlock to save some time, here you can stealth and chase a dog which stands near enemies, here you can cast that group stealth and just pass trash to the boss itself. And I imagine that I will discover more and more cool tricks and uses for rogues. So what I would like to know is, do you have it SIGNIFICANTELY harder to queue up and to find a group, thank any tank? I think I would enjoy playing rogue, I just don't know if I could handle the wait times for everything "dungeon finder" related... Any tips, info and knowledge on this will be highly appreciated 😃
Just have high rio score
at glance I thought it was a copypasta
@daring imp how can you tell from your weakaura whether the damage bonus has expired? From stealth
DPS is oversaturated
@manic stirrup If you aren't using a weak aura specifically for it change your stealth bar and your main bar slightly so you don't accidentally apply an additional garrote
!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.
it would be nice if that fixed that
small indie company
Q times are irrelevant bc once you reach the "endgame" you search for groups in the tool not with Qing
^ this guy raids
that's really how it be sometimes lmfao
meh i only join groups with super high ilvl requirements
I only pug on alts.
Like finding a guild that does alt runs these days
is so hard.
sorry finding an oceanic* guild that does alt runs these days is hard.
yeah alt runs are in most guilds
unless ur like still in a heroic prog guild right now
jst join content
that guilds asking to flop before next tier LOL.
behind 16 hour guilds while raiding 40 btw
that and I couldn't play rogue alongside ching tbh
chings garbo at rogue and he's the most geared oce player
triggered.
meh all the top streamers get carried somewhere
ching isnt
when they aren't entertaining or good at the game
but he has been around for a long time
that's more directed at quin than anyone else
ching is entertaining to a degree and i like the realness he has.
just like asmon
but quins fuckin' annoying and trash
him and asmon bait reactions and it works
this convo -> #off-topic
doesnt relate to sin
sorry sir
anyone got much prog on vectis?
feel like the fight sucks for melee when you're in your groups and the ad spawns on the other side.
So hidden blades or crimson tempest for teeming?
cus poison bomb is so much more interactive
´´oh boy, a passive proc, thats interactive gameplay i love´´

You guys using Overwhelming Power or better to stay away from it for most content?
@thick jacinth watch the timer and stack back up as the debuff is about to expire. U can get a lot if uptime on add even if its on the other side of boss
I think overwhelming is great
Yeah, just worried about losing stacks when taking damage
Also pain is the goat
I believe you lose stacks every 1 second too, but I think it’s good still. Highest simming 2nd trait
thanks @amber arrow I might need to make a weakaura for the debuff alone because I can never tell the timer on the debuff unless it's on me.
Ill just give it a whirl then
Someone mind taking a peek at my logs for tonight?
@limber dew my old guild send all balance druids through last and rogues middle group i dont expect common logic to apply to the average wow guild leader
according to my guild rogues are amazing for the blobs
they are if you play outlaw and they send more than 4 people through at a time
utlaw
oh i should have specified that was for hc
Step one: Be a raid lead. Step two: Follow step one
How do you guys open on vectis?
G-R-G-Vendetta-Mut-Rup-Exsang- Mut-Envenom- Mut- Rupture on add -> Vanish -> G Add -> 2x G Vectis -> Envenom right?
basicly yes
are you doing that with shrouded suff?
only got 1x SS bc it's bad in raids now.
Hey guys. I just got my first Galecaller's Boon. How do you guys typically use it with Assassination? Obviously I want it up for every Vendetta, which should be easy to set up. Do you guys hold Exsanguinate for 15 seconds to align with the trinket between Vendettas, or just use trinket and Exsang on CD independently?
I delay exsang for trinket since it snapshots on your haste
is sub>sin still on M Fetid?
Oh, I didn't realize it snapshotted, that's good to know.
Will keep me from raging if I have to move out of it lol.
Look at logs tbh @strange python
Careful holding though for trinket, 15 seconds means every three held is a loss of an exsang in the fight.
ye i just am getting super unlucky with shoulders
exsa with nerfed SS? 😏
guys, sorry for interrupting your current conversation but i just run a sim with my rogue and i saw this
🤔
is that a raidbots/sim bug that there is an mutilate into evenom with 4 cp?
@bright quartz thats prolly a double crit mutilate giving 4 CPs
^^
interesting^^
ya what's wrong with that sim? looks normal
i didnt know that mutilate is coded as a both hand strike^^. details only shows one mutilate all the time
Maybe read what mutilate does?
good point
Is sin dead after the SS nerf?
no it is still most played of all rogue speccs in m+ keys
Sin was my go to spec for reliable dps when I get annoyed at my bad luck with outlaw
I hate sub with a passion
i just started doing keys today.. i love assassination
yes mate we're joking
Poison bomb not good enough for keys?
pb is bad for keys
meh i use it in tyrannical
wish fans of knives talent was viable
why is pb bad in keys? it procs pretty often for me
because crimson is simply better
sims more
for 3-4 packs
rng proc vs controlled damage too
crimson puts u on top of aoe cleave
it shouldnt but it does
on high keys
topping dk and frost is pretty funny
3x SS puts me on top most of the time already, only thing that really beats me is a DH
yeah but maintaining 3rd poison
nah fam
honestly? did u see the new sim?
apparently archive rupture and 1 SS is better than x3 SS
can't get any uldir pieces to drop for me
trust me I want some archive
only other traits I have is 2x SB
😨 know that feeling
@thorn crater I have all 3 traits on 3 different pieces actually
hold on
let me sim
its what herodamage shows
Also, you're taking for m+?
though
Oh
@thorn crater where do you find that sim? I haven’t seen it
I've 370 archive, 355 SS, 340 rupture
"when you clear 8/8hc and get shitty trinket that sims 200dps under fathoms" 
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
go by stack
and check each value
Oh sorry, missed your previous message
of every trait
I'm 361, only good azerite piece I have is the 355 PVP one for SS, the other are just normal m0 pieces
mada mada dane
read what i wrote
then u will understand
the whole of it
each SB has a value of 4,2%
I tried simming with 2 SB and 1 SS and was doing less damage
single scent is 5,95 , archive 5,61 and 1 SS for the aoe 4,89
try 3 -5 bosses hectic cleave 40 seconds
how much difference in dps is there between CT and PB
on fortified a lot
but if u cant play CT dont bother talenting it
basically u pandemic CT every time on adds
it becomes a priority
over rup over anything else
3+
fuck rupture
its less dmg
if u have SS, you garrote x3 and then CT
then spam CT
its a lot of dmg
over envenom
and CT
and then do rupture
ye
when CT goes to 2 sec
prob only like 15 second ruptures?
ye
5
Do you even bother with CT on boss fights?
Noted
are u running 3x ss sang
x2 SS 1 370 scent
!ss

@safe matrix question. for how long are we going to consider SS bugged and not working as intended? have htey admitted it?: cause if u vanish with a normal garrote on a target and start using empowered ones the normal one gets buffed up as well. doesnt that mean it works as intended?
370?
sth like that
does feint work for quaking?
Should mitigate OTHER quaking though?
it hasnt for me
Feint works for me on quaking..
It'll be considered bugged until they change the behaviour
cant say for sure
if it wasnt bugged, it would be included in the tooltip
It's definitely a damage reduction to feint the quake
not if u have warriors not moving from bosses :S
having an excuse to move out and charge?
nahhh ill fuck us upo
well then stop playing with shitty players
Don't group with baddies? Lol
Get 4 other players that are at least competent then?
Friends list and communities
communities are tricky tbh
u need to be invited
or know a name
in order to join one
i ahve double ss and titans but my double dose blight borne and titans sims higher than my double ss and 1 titans
so i think its normal to sim higher
also does the laser matrix trait stack? and also does that sim feel low for my ilvl?
but thats ona 5 min fight on 2-3 mins my ss and titans is still higher, as is on aoe... so sticking to tht in m+
well im 362 i sim 14.4 without ss and 14.2 with so shrugs
wep ilvl? trinks?
I sim 14,5k at 364
Is it worth doing crimson on 2 mobs?
Or just keep garrote/rupture and envenom after that?
i use 370/360 and 350 plumage + dmf
@manic stirrup well i have a big subterfuge icon
Can someone confirm for me that exsang snapshots? Someone telling me it doesn't.
it snapshots on the current haste you have when you pop it
it does
I only have 1 trait SS what should my opener look like? Is it worth doing 3 point rupture before exsang??
The guide on site says to even with 1 trait but seems odd
IIRC the opener in the guide refreshes the Opener Rupture before using Exsanguinate.
Grg ventdetta mut mut r.
Yarrr
Exsang mut mut env . ..... vanish gg . . R
do you have to use vendetta before applying bleeds or do an existing bleed get boosted if you use vendetta afterwards?
Its only one mut after vendetta
So even with 1 trait of SS I should follow the rotation exactly on guide?
I'm 341 ilvl with a 325 OH and doing only like 9k on m+ bosses...I feel like I should be doing more
1 SS is strong enough to influence a change to the opener, yes.
Is the single target dps loss with Crimson Tempest not big enough to warrant poison bomb?
seliathan/incarnated, the toppest of the top rogues, argues that CT more than makes up for the single target damage loss because you gain so much more time by killing trash faster @cold dragon
guys which trait should I go for in M+ after the SS nerf?
I use 3 ss and love it still
master assassin a thing now with 0 SS traits?
if i only go for 1 SS what are the others gonna be? atm its 1 SS 1 dagger in the back and 1 laser matrix
I use 2xSS 1xlaser and sim ok I think for ilvl https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/coHzPw3UktWFB1iKpTQ3YW
@daring imp thats exactly what Im looking for! Can you share the WA for me for subterfuge?
@somber egret ... you should be simming higher IMO.
Better stats itemization lol
Look at Miche's
364 at 14.5K, fucking insane.
tbh, i'm not sure how Miche's is so high haha
I mean i sim 14.5 at 364 too
depends on your stats, my sim is with TB too. With Exsang, it's like 13.9K maybe, or a high 13.8K
Pretty normal from rogues i've seen
from 360/362 to 364 is a 700dps jump?
could also be the azerite powers. My necklace is only lvl 20 lmao
I have something like 23%crit and 19% haste and like 23% mastery
I’m 21% haste 20%crit
outside of uldir that is
still not sold on master assasin
traits?
whaaaa lol
Archivex2 and rezan
Hmm
Archive stacks, just not the stupid aray buff thing right?
yes
yeah
interesting
regardless, i need to level up my azerite necklace
i think that's where a lot of my DPS is missing
archive -355 archive -370 rezan - 385
whaaaaa
as long as u got first 2 traits
@daring imp Ty I'll look at his logs for more info
Yeah, first two are all that count really
not sure then lol
And archive stacks but honestly without reorg array its not amazing. Thats why it is listed so low in the trait stacking department
i feel like i should be simming higher
Ilvl?
X2 archive and 1 lazer trump all for me even outside of uldir
@placid elbow I'm 349 13.3. So 360 should be around 14.3
@manic stirrup gimme a sec real quick
so I'm looking at making a weakaura that shows my current total garrotes and ruptures that are currently out, but before I do, does someone have one already?
Picture is not updated in the embed.
I can retrofit it for Garrote real fast.
I'd be interested in a weakaura that like had the rupture icon and showed the total amount of agility gained via scent of blood.
might make it when I get home tbh
oh nice thats perfect
https://i.imgur.com/OdHLWe3.gifv I was messing with timers but it might be easier to just have one stack
I just need to replace some stuff in the LUA for Garrote real fast to make it not weird to read.
Will upload it in a second.
I appreciate it my guy
is it not easier to just look at the enemies themselves
or does the wa tell u which target it is on and is clickable
I use icehud to track them on current target.
the default ui does it really well too
This is much more complex than current target.

@civic palm oy, is there a way to make one exactly like that but only for empowered garrotes? @_@"
not for normal ones, only for emp ones
Yo
Thanks for that wa
Actually won't have to look for the small icons above npcs to see if garrotes up or not
You should probably be tracking their duration and position regardless.
pretty simple to see
Well it'll be useful for empowered garrotes with SS
There are better ways of showing the duration of EMP garrotes, just having a number doesn't do much.
hrm hrm hrm
Sure.
I know what you mean.
You can't apply 4th
What's better rezan or a 2nd trait for SS?
@strange python probably it hit the low level dummies
i'm like a bazillion percent sure that's what happened
So can somebody pls clarify the aze traits for me? It is really confusing what to aim for. Im sitting at 1archive 2ss rn
Q1. Is 1SS mandatory? (When Not running 3SB )
Q2. Uldir traits still better outside of uldir?
what type of content are you refering to
for m+ you still want SS
So many top rogue parses with poison bomb in M+. I just dont know anymore
scent of blood is fine aswel depending on your azerith pieces
raiding wise the uldir traits will prolly overcome your other ones, then again it kinda comes down to your differents azerith pieces
so sim it
So like 3SS for m+?
Raiding wise, the uldir traits will 100% over come your other ones at 5 stacks
Then SS is shit for patchwerk raid?
its not shit but its not as strong as before, so other options are possible
according to bloodmallet, yes its worse than double dose/sharpened blades/Dagger in the back
Or do I maintain 1SS for cp
Ugh such confusion
Sim tells me to use blightborne
Wtf..
Yep, 1 SS is not very good according to my sims too
its only good with multi target dotting for me
We really need a portable azerite reforger
actually I just double checked, my 370 shoulders with Rez Fury do the same dps on 3 targets, so just gonna run 370 for the single target on bosses
i usually use 1 SS trait for the CP gain on raid ST
So is SB the way to go now? I'm hearing mixed feelings about it
Might be a silly question, but I was wondering how people sim for M+ using raidbots. Something like patchwerk, 3-5 bosses, 1-2 minute fight length? Want to look at what gear to gun for since I'd like to focus mostly on M+
@golden mulch Do you have Azerite armor 30ilvl higher than the SS pieces?
@strange python Yeah I use it for that. 4 bosses/1 minute. For what its worth, the stat weights come out with the correct stats on top
Perfect, thanks man
In what scenarios do we pool as assa?
for myth+ people sim 6T 40sec no buffs
thats the standard myth+ sim
no buffs is important as raidbuffs and BL fuck sims up a lot
been testing out CT and PB for m+
Guess i'll be sticking to PB since its barely a dps loss
if you play it right CT should be way ahead as even for ST PB is only a 2% gain if even
I hate CT
well why? too hard to play?
i couldnt play without. i miss it hard to not being able to press a hugh swirly aoe void after tripple garrote 😄
Master assasin is viable? it sims better for me 🤔
on vectis M, should i generally be looking to put all dots on the add and switching back to boss or try and time dots on boss to hardswap on add?
we don't struggle with cleave/swapping compositionally but yeah i guess i'll follow the priority
yeah sims made me swap SS gear for uldir's D:
is 17s a sufficient window to poison blade it if its up or just hold (implying it dies at an ideal time frame)
yes toxic blade sorry lol
add respawns every 25 seconds
toxic blade CD is 25 seconds
ill let you guess if you should hold it or not
okay sounds good 😃 thanks!
np
wait but does the timing get thrown off at all with the initial spawn because toxic blade is a tiny bit delayed in the opener
or is that 2ish seconds negligible in practice?
just hold it for first spawn

Has SS stacking been nerfed recently?
What is going on with the herodmg sims?
Marked for death tripple sharpened blade best for dungeons???
Mfd is always strong if used properly. But vigor is just so easy and nice
And beautiful to see

Shrouded Suffocation

can someone tell me how FoK generates combo points? feels random
Is there a proper time to use Crimson Tempest in m+? Like is it only worth using if there's at least a certain number of mobs or just any 2+ cleave?
do you still need rep reqs for void elves
Yes @supple compass
@supple compass you dont need to ask that in every channel
and yes, you need argussian reach rep to unlock them
SS bug still a thing were it gets rid of the buff? havent played my rogue since the nerf
@golden mulch dg sims are hard to do exactly
@granite berry 3+ pop it instead of envenom
so not on ST or 2?
Are we better off just stacking double dose with the SS Nerf?

Are you dudes rocking Iron Wire or Prey on the Weak for M+?
I am right now, it feels pretty good at the very least in pug groups with no voice comms
It's passive, solid default
I could see prey being better in some situations though
Prey might be better on a +10 for bursting down the Infested
Iron wire is beast
Infested is a joke tbh
We need a new affix already
It's so boring
Is it easy? No one in my guild wants to run a 10 because they say it's too hard.
My guild isn't really hardcore or anything though
That's cause this week is cancer overtuned not because infested is hard
Highest I've done is a +9
tbh the infested part isnt the reason a +10 could be considered hard
Yeah fuck this week, but they were complaining the first two weeks too
infested itself is really easy to deal with
It's just one mob with Infested right, then you burst it down and kill the worms?
I've never once though wow infested makes this dungeon hard
You're probably a hell of a lot better than my guild and I at least, Lol.
It's either tyrannical boss or sanguine or teeming making it hard
Some other affix
Infested just adds like +10s per pack
Super boring affix
The point of it is we get a new one per M+ season, right?
how do you guys sim yourself with diff talent builds? you just put in all of the possible builds you might run and sim it all at once?
Yeah it just slows down the pace
Yeah that's way too long kmo
I bet the next one is a fish randomly appears and mind controls one member of your party
Infishted
^
nah next seasonal is going to be exaclty the same as infested but instead of healing the mobs will just do more damage or some shit
how's toxic blade for m+ vs exang? says i sim higher as TB now, are teh stat weights any different?
Is SS really so bad on an equal item level piece blightborne infusion sims higher than a single SS for every type of fight?
Tb is pretty bad in m+. Everything is aoe.
Exsang can actually be useful on a decent size trash pack too, unlike TB
It's also prio dmg without having to waste CP on env when you could CT
Tb requires contact. Exang could rip and go.
There's honestly a ton of benefit to exsang over TB in M+
I love it tbh. And the 1t 15sec is real.

but what is exsang worth without 3SS or only with 1 SS
Exang doubles the bleed tick rate on a poisoned target.
And also. Why aren't you running 3ss in m+

SS is good but so is archive, in m+ if you dont wipe and have a good group you maintain 18+ stacks the whole dg
id say 15 ilvl yeah SS is better but more than that nah
Yeah i have 3x 340 ss items but im running mythics wit 1xss and 2x archieve, because both archieves are 355 and sims little higher. Not sure though, shoud i just go 2xss instead, because i like to ss garrotte much and use vanish always even on trash packs that wont die on first ss garrottes.
tfw master assassin sims higher
Wait are they nerfing SS again on 8.1?
no
Shrouded Suffocation Garrote cast from Stealth generates 2 additional Combo Points and deals 73 additional damage. 39 additional damage.

Oh right makes sense. Ty
So we still running triple ss for m+ ? then w.e sims highest for raids?
Ye
@sharp schooner thanks for stating that, my apologies for the next two dozen times you have to say it in coming days
Sub seems to be performing really well too, but outlaw isn’t keeping up since nerfs
Hey ya'll, is there any up to date list of azerite traits to keep an eye out for (for either M+ or raid)? I know Shrouded and LM were nerfed recently but they're still the top two recommended by the guide.
they are still good even after nerf
anyone know where you put TB in the SS opener
Garrote>Rupture
Garrote>Vendetta>Mutilate>Rupture
Mutilate till 4+ combo points>Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points>Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote>Garrote
Right after vendetta
ty
Also don't reapply rupture, just start envenoming
ah i was going off the ravenholdt site guide is that wrong?
No but Sim is the best you can have
i mean the guide says to TB after vendetta
ah i was looking at the wrong SS opener 
whats the best to play in mplus
speaking very generally
currently have 2ss and 1 udir trate
I'm a dunce, Kidney shot and Cheap shot share the same stun
Nearly level 100 and i did not realise that cheap shot will affect the effectiveness and duration of kidney shot
All stuns are on diminishing return
@rain tree ye they changed that in cataclysm. Got tp dump down the game for the dumb playerbase
So even other classes stuns now too
I have only been playing for roughly 2 months, I have a 120 warrior with an Ilvl 344, and now I'm playing as a rogue, because it seems fun to scare people with the sap
so im looking through a lot of rogues in m+ currently and theyre all still running ssx3 in m+ this week - is that a case of them not bothering to farm azerite armor or should i not trust bloodmallet/herodamage for which traits are simming the highest?
You could stun a player for 10 seconds then blind, sap for 20 and stun again for 8
3x ss is best for m+ more add dmg
Btw when it comes to artifact weapons, which LOOKS the best
even in a fight like fetid devourer mythic/heroic im seeing like 10% of rogues running sharpened blades
because kingslayers look awesome
it's either full uldir traits (which makes sense) or a mix of uldir + ss traits
Bloodmallet has it on the page man. 3x sharpened blades is best thats why. And the uldir traits are only good in uldir with aray active
is there a spot with 6 training dummies or even 8 ?
@novel lake 1 channel is enough 😄
haha, ok, thought all those guys are still sleeping xD
it's just odd that out of 38 rogues that killed mythic fetid devourer this week, theres a total of one sharpened blades trait
so im just trying to figure out if this is a case of them not bothering to get new azerite armor or something else
@novel lake https://www.wowhead.com/npc=31144/training-dummy Although they wont all be raiding dummies etc.
And ofc, theres the class hall in Dala
cheers, thx
Sharpend blades isn't that great.
If you're using herodamage, consider a 2 stack the max
because you need at least 1 array
right, it still puts it at 1320 vs ssx2 at 980 - i imagine it's gotta be just a case of them not bothering with getting sharpened blades
higher ilvl on the 2Xss?
If its 370+ it doesnt matter what trait it is. Its better than the 340 you can "farm"
Its not like you can choose what azerite trait you get
@torn wind no, same IL
interesting, i wonder how much something like haste affects it
Garrote 3 targerts then tempest
is shrouded suffocation getting nerfed on ptr? wtf
how many targets do you apply rupture to before you start FoK then Env
pretty sure it is just a tooltip update and not a nerf
well wasnt the nerf a 40% nerf?
dont you want to get the ct off while in stealth?
yes and that was like 2 weeks ago
from 39/73 doesn't = .4 though
oh fair enough
@proper igloo what for?
Hey every1 ST and Crimson Tempest with Executioneer. Is it worth or not?
CT is only worth on 2+ targets
I Go 3x garotte, ct, Start fok for cp and rupt all targets
Thanks
Refreshing ct < 2sec
do <3 sec for >5 targets
I thought greater than 5 targets you just FoK spam CT
But how should i refresh garotte, overwrite 1 of the empowered at 6 sec to have it ready when the other empowered runs out?

yup
am i seeing correctly that they buffed poisoned knife ?
on ptr
or is that old buff
is the aura damage/healing changes new nerfs or just from previous hotfixes? (6% to outlaw, 7% to sub)
👍
Am I right in saying that on taloc the first vendetta is on pull and the second is at the end of the elevator?
Depends really
elevator starts az 60& and last for 70 sec
If your comp can't get the boss down to transition in 2 mins then might as well use it before
Any other case use at the end of ride
it also edepends on total kill time if you can not get a 3rd vendette use your second when your parts lusts
party
Lust should be either on pull or at the end of elevator anyways
I recently switch to Assassination and there are a few things I am unclear on. I checked the guide and pins and am not able to find any in-depth information on EP. Should I be trying to maintain the buff at the cost of 3 CP Envenoms? Is it worth clipping the duration of EP to use an Envenom within the EP buff? Should I not worry about it and just focus on not clipping the Envenom buff?
you clip it when you can
use only 4+ envenoms dont maintain it over everything else you wont have enough energy
sin is about pooling energy when you have nothing to do so you can keep clipping EP
or perfectly refresh dots
That's what I've been doing. I toyed around with 3 CP finishers, but wasn't sure if that was the best way to go about it.
Clipping EP during TB is pretty dope 👌
using TB 
what does EP stand for? it's the Envenom buff?
Using your best SIM'd talents with your best SIM'd traits. :stupidface:
exsang if ur a man
Envenom Poison maybe?
ah thank you
its a talent
idk what you tb guys are smoking no matter what i try to do esang is always quite a bit ahead of tb in sims
¯_(ツ)_/¯
and feels better to play
I feel like I'm having issues with CP generation. My haste is pretty high but my crit is lacking.
for me tb sims higher
and i also finish higher on 10 out of 10 5min dummy tests
or lets say 8 out of 10
playing MP of cause
I'm assuming using a 3 CP Envenom to clip the EP buff would be worth it if you were at the tail end of your TB buff and wouldn't be able to fit another Mutilate in before TB expires.
Does MP realler sim higher than EP for you? it has always been EP for me during bfa
dont try to minmax theorycraft if you havent got the normal rotation down :p
What level of AGI stacks does simming take into mind when sim Archive trait gear?
1 to 20
yes it does sim higher
ah so it changes
i also like the vanish, tb, env, 30stack poisoned knife crit kombo
It's so annoying I'm not even using it thought it sims higher(like 0,5% upgrade). It's just not worth tracking the stacks and clicking additional button for such a miserable difference in DPS.
Just get a WA for it and press it on 30
I'd like to get a 3x SB at 370+ just for luls
Actually it might even be bis on vectis, since generally the add is hard to kill before 2nd cast, especially on mythic

The SS Garrote bug, is it only for single target or is it bugged if i apply 3 ss garrote to different targets and then 1 regular to another target?
it doesnt really affect st

its basically whenever you apply a new garrote all your active ones lose the SS buff
so you need multiple active garrotes for it to happen
Well that sucks
@safe matrix are you sure it's only the tooltips though because i can see assa spells in here
https://i.imgur.com/mx0Q8Yk.png
man this is so ambiguous
i blame blizz, only time will tell
omfg ur back
That seems silly.
day 2 of crying
Just Day 2?
this is some clown shit, if i was a dev and my work was projecting like this i would just quit quite frankly
bro none of this is done by blizzard
Where is that screenshot from?
mmo-champion
Yes, but im there rn and cant find it
and wowhead has the same entries under the same sections
Humorous.
again we see assa spells invovled into the wrong sections, matching with unheard numbers before (nerfs) https://i.imgur.com/vspKGmv.png
@arctic isle Again for the countless time of telling you. You don't need to insult people you don't agree with.
If you cant contribute without insulting someone, then dont contribute at all.
Your name is cropping up more and more. Knock it off. You've had enough warnings and mutes to know how to conduct yourself around here.
It's becoming tedious to continually tell you
im being serious
So am i.
in what world is calling someone ignorant an insult
excuse me princess but a startup would pull better tuning than this garbo
Saying someone is ignorant on a subject is not a insult, everyone just takes the word ignorant and thinks a insult
@strange python Are you seriously insinuating that Blizzard is in charge of 3rd Party Datamining and that these values are clearly not from a nerf that has already happened?
exactly davy
just DM the mod about it and stop this drama in here?
As soon as someone posts you dont agree with, you're eager to share your opinions on a continual basis, regardless of what it entails. Its deliberately disrupting spec channels.
Knock it off.
i mean u werent here last night
it was the same conbo
between me and him
hes just doing it again
fishing
Doesnt mean its acceptable. And again, you shouldnt need to be continual told.
The conversation is over.
my bad for thinking ignorant wasnt an insult lul
Np
ur ignorant
@civic palm not really but apparently something doesn't add up and it's quite evident undocumented changes happened already or will happen
And your continual disregard for the rules will only shorten your stay here
Your call
They're old changes, that were documented. Datamining is not accurate once servers come up as there is no telling where that data is coming from.
how do you explain both sites made the same "mistake" to include assa spells under wrong specs
can you stop babbling about what is lost and won and actually step up with facts instead
Because they can't not make the mistake, as it's not a mistake on their end, they're just scrubbing data + timeline + patch meta data.
and the old stuff shows up as "new" even though it's old.
On the topic of assassination: Currently progressing on hc ghuun and I feel more dmg in p2 would really help smoothen our tries. Do you guys think it's a good call to delay first vendetta until ghuun becomes targetable? Should be close but I think most p2s are 2min from the start to the first beam. too risky or worth it?
Because they don't filter shit that has happened already for fear of missing things.
@high ingot first big worm should die to beam so no
@high ingot worms aren't to be touched at all tho
bad wording. I meant ghuun with "big worm"
The datamining is not composed of facts either. > _>"
