Yeah
-Shrouded Suffocation is currently bugged as of sept 19, If you apply 1-3 garrotes in subterfuge, and then apply another garrote outside of subterfuge, all of your garrotes lose the shrouded suffocation multiplier. The subterfuge multiplier still stays. If you apply a Shrouded Suffocation buffed garrote, ALL your active garrotes gain the SS bonus aswell.
Is the last part true???
yes
Yeah makes sense
So..
Spam a bunch of garrotes out on big packs with first stealth. vanish and get the rest
Spam - garrote has a cd
not with subterfuge up
^
^
Subter ones already have ss?
So youre only gaining one with a low dur
hey guys i just wanted clarification on why we vanish the garrote at 5.4 seconds
Pull
No Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blade
Garrote
Mutilate till 4 combo points
Rupture
Vendetta
Mutilate
Toxic Blade
Mutilate if less than 4 combo points
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote hits 5.4 seconds or less when talented into subterfuge
i dont thinkit makes sense to do so
Whats 5.4/18
because your garrote is not buffed by Shrouded Suffocation is why
2 garrotes from stealth for max duration
No
I was answering poons clarification question
I thought only nightstalker would buff from stealth, because i dont have SS i dont really get the point of vanishing the garrote
unless im missing something
oh damn i didnt know it buffed garrote from stealth, i thought it was just usage of garrote for mobs lol
i gotcha now
Using talents you don't know the meaning of ? 
that's a paddin
Just theory crafting here due to the posion wire buff:
If you had 3 of those traits. Take master Assassin talent (for the increased crit)
Open whit garote 2x mutilatie(crit) that makes 5cp for a rupture
Now keep on doing garote into 2 multi...
Isnt that viable anyone expirience whit that?
what did u just say
So
Garrote 1cp
Mutilate 5cp
finish
does anyone have a link to snake eyes build?
Like that?
Garote gives youre next 2 mutilatie crite
mt
ye mb
So garote mutilatie mutilatie
you'd be wasting cp
Welcome back @frosty robin
No thats exactly 5cp
Assa was the choise all along
hes assuming 1 SS
g-m-r-m-ve-tb-env?
No none as trait
With 1 SS o
xd..
q-r-q-ve-tb-env-m-env?
twan is just saying the opener with legendary shoulders
Lmao
:LUL:

Garote(1cp) - multi 2cp - multi 2cp =5
But with wire and MA you "should" crit with the mutilate
Yes
mut crit will give 4 cp
Then 2 mutilates in a row
why would u mutilate twice with 100% crit
Ow yeah
u think mutilate gives 1 cp or wat
Twan, stop
lol
No it gives 2 standard
yeah?
And since when was the trait 2 mutilates and not one?
so why would u mutilate 2 times with 100% crit
Forgot it gave 5 of crit
Lmao
it doesnt give 5 for crit
MA is 50% now
m8 stop trolling
Twan, stop now.
Leveling my lock this week
I should too
For resets to come
leveling blood dk this week
heretics
twan thought he came up with a legit new opener and it was just the opener with legendary shoulders and he even managed to get it wrong 👍
im enjoying warrior main 😃
I'm leveling a SP D:
i played sub for fetid though
was good for small blobs with sharpened blades
no more of that, feelsbad
u can still play sub for zul n shit
u dont rly shadowstrike much anyway

ye im still playing sub for zul, its unchanged there
@ripe dock already got my blood dk to 120
just utter trash on ST now
its all reverted back to emerald nightmare times almost
really? Utter trash?
residentsleeper spec #1
well it is, it has nothing going for it on ST
So sin is the spec to go for mythic raiding ?
mythic then, I presume?
for most of the bosses yes
rather play shadow priest than sub rogue rn
Quite annoyed to be switching specs around
Or outlul
snakey eyes
i just did a 12 underot with a snake eye rogue
All we can do right now is make a build and be excited to switch everything next week
tbh that build is just sad
he looked like he was having so much fu....zzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
lets all use x3 FOK runes and go back to using FOK as a builder
I´ll just stop swapping specs for now untill Blizz make up their minds. Time to level an alt I guess...
well what a god
that's dedication
thats being lucky¨
i have 2 385 double dose 😎
grats
well fuck me and my 340s
still got 340 shoulders with ss
Just went outlul, then just 100% focus single Target and have good aoe. 
I got 385 DitB
i mean ur not wrong
With OP
Whats this about outlul? I cant hear you over my one singular stat priority
Which traits to stack as sin?
im actually hella bored of rogue rn, gutting every spec the second something new is found
for what CXoD?
gonna reroll bm hunter...........
m+ or uldie?
what are the traits to go for now in sin pleae ?
M+ is ss I assume bit för ST?
Does mutilate both crits today? Or there is a chance one crits and the other don’t?

Hi Bm hunter here ..5% nerf was to hard ...pls buff me lul
Deadshot was actually fun.... Can't have that in the game
Together*
for m+ just get SOB or some SS x2
for ST you take DD
i hope executioners precision dreadnought becomes a thing @warm parcel
DD for ST, isnt´it?
then for raids get DD and an archive
Thanks @devout jolt
@primal patio ty
"we want azerite traits to be fun and meaningful"
also blizzard
"we want azerite traits to not matter"
?
hm
ok
omegalul
theyre making every trait equal so its kind pointless for them to have like 40 traits
imagine having 40 traits all do the same damage
like wat
makes good sense hehe
Alright boys I just saw that SB is being nerfed...now that that and SS are nerfed what is next up on the list?
idk pick 1 and blizzard might pick it out of spite
DD for st and SOB/SS for aoe/cleave
thats what it feels rn
Where did you see Azerite changes? Wowhead?
wowhead yes
cool, ty!
heres what will happen before bfa is over
1 trait for st and 1 t rait for aoe
st trait is called - trait of focused stabbing
aoe trait is called - trait of aoe stabstorm
ggwp
trait of unfocused stabbing for aoe
perforate buffed by 166,667´% next week, btw
It's easy to choose azerite trait. Pick a passive one that don't affect your playstyle or any ability. Then it will be in top soon enough.
dont get why they would even bother making so many like they didnt see some being better than others
then when one pulls ahead they nerf it in line with the others
Take, archive, Lazer and hmm Lazer?
archive, soul of theros memery, and more archive
have fun
this new system that replaced artifacts gives u 500 agi
dont u love it
u lil bitch
Weeee so much more fun than Deadshot and look at that dps 
right i forgot
dw guys they are gonna take some traits out soon and areplace them with new ones
New and interesting*
they are gonna take out thunderous blast since it got nerfed and replace it with fiery blast
pogchamp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
™
or watery blast
"these 8 traits are so bad to the point of unbalancable, lets remove them and replace with 4 decent ones, and 4 equally bad ones"
or since its a troll raid vodoo blast
I'm still salty that the new weapon enchants don't have any shiny effects
blood is so 8.0
its because its like sneaky
8.1 is all about gold
navigation is super sneak-ape
so no effect
nothing to do with expansion still being in beta at all
and the new pvp enchant is 🤢
mongoose all day erry day
im getting confused guys, I need advice, I mostly just do mplus content. Is SS still the best talent for mplus? Should I still stack 3? I have a 355 and 2 340s
yes its still the best
better that they dont have any glow then they are a ripoff from some other pve enchant like pvp one at 2.2k rating...... its like chronos from legion
but that one was rng rare
cool, ill use them then
so its fine right?
I usually go with 2x SS and 1x SoB even tho 3x SS is probably more burst
sorry, what is SoB?
Hey all, if I am overcapping energy during my opener after popping vendetta am I doing something wrong? Currently going Garr > Rup > Garr > Vendetta > TB. Is my haste too high?
Scent of Blood, giving you Agi for every Rupture
ah
At least arms got buffed for ghuun
that sounds like a good choice
TB doesn't take much energy so overcapping is kinda expected for 1s
And arms was good there already
okay. I figured I would either overcap on energy or CP during opener, so energy is more preferred. thanks!
sims dont take vanish i think
omg rouge ded!!
@warm parcel how so?
ah
I dont know either. I dont even know why I'm using it. Probably because its a 355 piece and I'm literally 20k HP behind our Disc lol
The 35% execute was useless already
for Uldir?
yeah?
And other talent setup was buffed slightly
ST you take dd
the whirlwind garb?
Via presicion afaik
arms at vectis LUL
3 stack DD?
Dno if I just misunderstood 
i mean
darn, i have to farm again
reallyt? we want 0 SS?
how do you even beat frostmage/resto a assass/disc?
not completely, but it didnt get buffed this patch
oh
it was because gahhdo fixed the apl up
the CP from SS is great
Yeah I figured 1 SS would be mandatory
how do you farm dd traits ? arent they only from the dungeons ? so max is 340 right ?
!dd
Fair enough
im running 2x DD and 1x SS because I dont have either archive or matrix and cba to miss out on the free CP
Guys, should exsanguinate be cast on CD?
whats DD again?
Double Dose
Double Dose
Is bloodmallet sims fucked up then?
Or saved for vanish+garrote when vanish cd<45s?
yeah 😦
Coz says archive stacking is bis
Vendetta*
we take archive because of the array
1 DD, 1 SS, 1 Archive
We dont need more than one
is archive still good in m+ even w/o the reorigination buff?
i have a 355 archive, 2 ss for now
m+ you try to go 3 ss
i dont have DD
Ohwell, I'll just have to sim
or 2 SS and 1 sob
sob?
scent of blood
ah
+agi per rupture
right
next week will be an special surprise
What about blightborne Infusion?
most of my SS traits are on 330 pieces 😩
Can someone tell me what's the optimal way to use exsanguinate? Right after you bleed everything and mobs have high hp? On cd on bosses after refreshing bleeds? Right after vanish + ss garrotes? Haven't played it yet and would like some confirmation that my assumptions are in fact correct

where you get the max value from it so yeah pretty much on cd with full pandemic duration bleeds up
and you should have off cd for vanish garrotes and vendetta yeah
Cheers @clear jacinth
np
Do they even test in real life situation? Sharpened Blades was trash now even more trash
Im losing faith in competence of blizzard
i think they are just going to bloodmallet.com and picking the top simmer and nerfing it
😂
playstyle wise it was trash imo
It was nerf'd for reason
ofc
true that
but they dont nerf if the playstyle is bad or good
they tune the numbers
obviously
so therefore the nerf is reasonable
I meant according to traits
But youre rigt
imo theyre gonna give the sharpened blades nerf to a lot of traits
where it has less effect the more u have
The new meta will be stacking Fan of Blades with hidden blades 😄
The new meta will be 
fok meme is so legion :p
Is scent of blood that bad single target? I dont find it on the list for patchwerk on bloodmallet, only on hectic add cleave
I mean, 3 scents of blood with master assassin and sharpened blades SHOULD work pretty Well. Back to foking and rupturing.
3 targets gives you around 900 agi.
Anyone tried bruh!?
Btw ilvl> trait?
They shud add more azerite traits with actuall impact on gameplay
Not this passive shit
Bad design in my opinion
The way they are treating rogues we probably get nerfed archive : "Rogues Archive buff reduced 69'
Or we are just getting ready for when stats go up next raid tier
i would prefer that all traits are passive tbh (dmg, aoe dmg, stats, etc.)
Really.....?
yep
How is that even fun at all
Ye lets just add some azerite traits no tooltip nothing just call 1 aoe
exactly
1 st 1 raid 1 pvp
That way you get an upgrade that’s an upgrade regardless of the traits.
^
Instead of hunting traits
Thats so dumb i want to barf
Because stacking SS is so much fun
well im a purist, i loved vanilla rogue also
The entire system is bad.
azerite traits themselves arent really something insanely cool as it is
And does not create active and aware gameplay
so why overcomplicate it
if you ask me, remove the system all together
im fine with ilvl only
Its not about over complicating its about adding traits that u feel change the flow u play
Does anyone know how much Archive of the Titans gives atm? bloodmallet only says +5 and +10
well, changing gameplay for each trait is exactly that - complicating
Considering going with shrouded traits for now
Why not do that with talents instead of hoping for three items to drop with the traits you need?
U know what is overcomplicating
this conversation?
When u add trinkets and just say tjey proc this and that and leave out all other information
i agree with that
the problem is the traits are underwhelming, unbalanced, and cant be targeted very much
shitty design overall
This conversation is over.
Guys I'm at zekvoz atm, I feel so wick with CT, idk how people are good parsing with that. Feel so easier and more useful to fok rup fok rup, than losing 5cp to CT
but i guess raids would be like pointless then cause of no tiers anymore
only some special raid-traits
and im fine with that, we already have 3 ways to gear up, depending on how would you like to play the game
pvp/raids/m+
all giving same chance to get same ilvl gear
and its perfect
its like it should be, if you think getting 2.5k rating and gearing up while at it is easier then mythic raid - you think that
remember classic wow and grand marshal gear?
ofc pve should not give the best pvp gear too, they are too different
you needed to play like 24h a day to get that
and it was on par with maybe like bwl/aq gear
not naxx
and required so much more time and will to do
Tryan why is it stupid
there is no difference in pvp/pve gear anymore apart from some traits or names
and that's why its not stupid
Yep
otherwise pve geared people would destroy pvp
Hey guys, does masterpoisoner affect leeching poison?
Im geting ilvl 375 baseline from pvp atm
thats good
means you are good pvp-r
whats wrong with that?
its like heroic raiding
doesnt take a rocket scientist to clear hc raid
i bet getting that lvl in pvp is a bit harder
i started to pvp in bfa last week only, cause i was bored...
raids giving me like 1 item per run and its barely an upgrade over my m+ gear
got to 1.650 only atm
but its going up
(not in a mythic raiding guild though)

im 366 equipped atm and its still not good enough without procs, but after 1.8k CR i guess it is worth it
gotta get there first though
Nice
havent played on a gladiator level since TBC 😄
I got chest from ghuun first kill never goin bk
people evolved like 10 times since
Sharpened Blades benefit from having multiple copies of this trait active has been reduced.
rip again?
What comp u playing?
Decent im at 2.1 atm
Is assa good at m+ ?
And im 2580 rsting
wow
Rating*
thats insane 😃
yes sin is good for m+
playing assa in pvp i suppose?
Yes
any special builds or talents you can advise? im basicaly running my pve setup just switching over pvp talents
depends on situation
What poision should I use for m+ ?
I got mp subterfuge and tb n pb
.......deadly and crippling......as always?
traits? like SS or?
except for sanguine where you dont use crippling cus the slow is anyoing there
2x twist 1x ss
okay, tyvm
havent really checked what it has
i only have 370 one from uldir hc with SS
and 370 shoulders from world boss
head is still 340
twist that good for pvp eh
never paid any attention to it
ja tb stronger for pvp Burst then exsang?
got a 370 chest with ss and one with laser matrix
Yes
Thanks, til
IF ss GOT NERFED BY 40% WHATS THE BEST TRAIT TO GET NOW?
In raids?
yeh
double dose is pretty strong
SS die m+ , uldir shit + 2xDD or Uldir / SS / Whatever
other then that uldir traits
alright cheers
it is pretty much
i like blight a little more then 1 de because of all the adds in the Fight in uldir , gut basically just equip highest ilvl now as 3th slot
blightborn infusion itself is quite good, but the proc chance it a bit too low imo, sometimes only have 2procs on 1 raidfight
as an sin what weapon ech iput in?
1 deadly 1 quick
What do you guys think about SS after 8.1? Seems like now its getting a ~50% nerf. Its quite early to speculate but I just wonder if it still would be dope to take 1.
@wooden island how are you about twist of knife in arena?
trait is still ok, just not the best trait for everything anymore
idk your statweights lol, just told you the too-go setup
Sable i think its very very good for comps like rmp with tb where u need the on demand burst
But i alwayd run 1x ss for the cp in opener
Its just too good
Blightborne infusion simming top for me 😬 What happened?!
@fickle tide depends on traits, stat weights, other talents ...
Yeh uldir traits are not that good in arena dd is only for sustain dmg
U want burst as assa already got good sustain dmg
ok so 2x tok 1xss?
Yeh
At least for mine I prefer the burst
Good luck 😁
whats ToK? 
I have bags of unused azerite triats. Maybe I'll have some twist in there.
i have all twist items
never wanted them until now 😄
but need to replace 370 uldir to 340 is annoying af
How is it two weeks in a row our top azerite traits are nerfed and mages, locks get flat damage increases across the board?!?!?!
Is ToK that good in pvp? Btw ilvl doesnt matter in pvp right?
So for M+, should i aim for 1 SS and 2 SoB?
isnt it like TtK not ToK? 😄
Translation.
ilvl matters in pvp, just less of an impact than pve.
i have only 340 pieces with Twist
wondering if i should use them over 370 with uldir trats
in pvp
Yeh there is some weird scaling in pvp
was playing with some friends who don't ever do arenas and versed a group that had like 90-100k HP per person, they got facerolled. Gear matters more than it did in Legion.
I haven't done any pvp yet. Did hundreds of matches in wod. Legion was a cold no.
the one thing I liked about WoD pvp was the set bonuses and being able to pick the pieces you need, hate that Blizz has strayed from it
This rogue was made for an pmr in Bc actually. Is why I'm still undead lol.
which they never explained in details
So gear matters and 3 of 16 slots can only come from bullshit luck once a week or from PvE
What is that kind of logic?
Yeah gaap, they have a weird habbit latly of just not givong information
PvE players struggle with the RNG of good azerite traits too, not like you can just sit there and farm it in M+
Blizzard.™
Like array stacking buff
can you get azerite items from doing pvp? like random at the end of runs
Trinket prpc rates
or only weekly chest
Etc....
The same as the logic behind ignoring bad traits and just making good ones bad too
azerite traits are the same stuff like raid sets
Too get good gear for pvp you need to do pve. Bilzurd ze smal indie c0mpany
If they don't tell you the values of something. They can nerf it without notes.
and, remember that you had 1 chance per week too get them?
who else can barely wait for the 380 wf cape from today's chest?? MEEEEEEEEEEEE 🐢
idk why people cry about azerite when tier sets where the same shit with only 1 chance lol
I still got head and shoulders 340 ilvl so im hoping for 385 head
same, hoping for head
using 340 one
and im almost 370 equipped
but probably gonna keep on hoping 😄
Hype need to do r-aids for pvp Poggers
good thing is i get 2 weekly crates (pvp and pve) so i can get double veiled crystals
Holy shit. Tyran has to be a troll
@daring imp wait what warfront 380 cape? 😂
2 weekly chest but 3 azerite pieces. :(
Hate that they silently removed the 1-3 item for the m+ chest
uh
what???????
I wouldn't mind the same item. But another GC isn't that exciting.
(Assassination, Subtlety) Sharpened Blades: damage reduced by 30% (unchanged in PvP). The benefit of having multiple copies of this trait active is reduced.
Fucked your knife bruh.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Thats what I was talking about Ongbank. 3rd week in a effing row were reitemizing...
DR
Time to reroll mage
Demo was flat garbage.
Leggo bois
I'm still 2ss
#BetaForAzeroth
Full release coming with 8.1
8.2.5
damn
Oh cool, DH get buffs also
sub got hit too
Knife never seemed too strong in pve. Was that just a sin nerf? Or was it op in pvp?
(Subtlety) Blade In The Shadows: damage reduced by 25%.
Loooooool
That's big.
Now rogue only has 1 good raid spec?
8.3.5 comes the new update to levling: xp is going to be removed now it will just require you to spend time ingame
knife is decent in pve if you had decent parts ( i had 385 and 340 and it hit like 70k+ on crits, easily ~10% of my dmg on any raid encounter )
I wonder if they have a nerf guy that just floats around herodamage and nerfs anything better than archive
nah sin still good, sub too 'cuz most of top logs aren't even touching bits i guess
they too preoccupied in using high ilvl pieces
No way i raid outlaw. Rolled 5x. One time and got fucking ptsd.
Hahahahaha
lul
(Subtlety) The First Dance: Now grants 2 stacks of the Critical Strike bonus when activated. Critical Strike bonus reduced by 25%.
huh
Aethys commented on each in tc.
oh lemme see
Lool
is it perfect? no, but some people cry like its the worst thing too EVER happen, and azerite traits killed their cat too
Sin is not thst good for uldir atm tbh
For a pure dps class we sure got mediocre dps now
Well idk yet tbh we'll see how it plays out
we're still top 10 on mythic
^^
Dung or raid?
i'm talking raiding
dungeon
and we're definitelyl GREAT on dgs
M+ god rn.
Yeah
^
sin is 1 of the best melee dps classes atm lol
Sin cant even be compared to arms
tho if you check boss dmg on mythic you'll see we're only behind aff locks
In raid???
Melee. No buff. Bring a warlock.
U joking right xd?
1 of the best<---------------->the best
there's aoe padding classes and there's more single target classes
Basically the top 3 melee u want is arms/dh/dk then all ranged
Either warlock bm or balance
N dh
Raid buff nerd.
jesus would you chill the fuck out please
Cherry picked stack.
What sims r those for?
Now find one with sin top 3
@daring imp if ur in a good guild and bring a rogue to last 2 bosses
Ur handicapping urself
Prob
warcraftlogs, last 1 week, mythic
Fact
Why would u tho
On ghuun tho
U want as little melee as possible

@mellow pier thought that was with any melee
fragnance was blasting on ghuul
Doesnt make it good
cus not everyone wants too play bm huntard, i want actuall gameplay lul
but yeh
@daring imp u still need dh and arms
I ran around dotting eyes like an idiot. With scent.
arms what for?
Buff
Execute
But tje problem is if rogue does do good enough dmg
Raid buff
Warlock gods.
Rally
There is no reason t bring a rogue at all
ok dh/arms really have their place
Yeah. We know this.
you literally only bring arms warr for execute iirc (ghuun)- but could be wrong¨
I mean we have zul
Unlike warrior which has tank spec
But lul
can we talk about zul tho
Dh arms monk.
Monk has all 3
Monk is brought on ghuun
prot warrior in 2k18 lul
just skip every other class and bring only rouges
For burst and solo
Hello
Yepp
Has everyone calmed down and forgotten last week yet?
New nerfs. So we aren't mad about last week anymore.
tricks new taunt
imagine bringing 10 sub rogues to zul
2 tanks are just taking up rogue slots

Like this?
dang that looks nice
For buff
Zuuullll
@lone junco sabers name is in there
how2internet hivemind: if your class is not top3=its dead, why play it at all
no, seriously, we might not be the best in utility, but boss-damage-wise, we're definitely great, the issue of not bringing any melee ( aside from the two buffy bois ) is just that it gets insanely easier with less melees
understood
And seli.

tho it's g'huun, they can stack aff locks ...
sv = bm hunter with polearm
I dont look at graphs
well you should
They are pointless
Sv hunter was top last time I saw it.
Half of good guilds dont log
they represent a more accurate more or less correct "how big is my deeps"
U realize this right
false, they private log
i do realize, but even so, the data won't be THAT skewed to make up 6 points in dps charts
one of the "bring less melees than anything" bosses?
So what are u refering to?
sv is still behind on fetid tho
How is it behind? Lol
only 10k parse diffrence 
no, mb, was checking wrong scores
imagined it would've been higher tbh
now FETID is a good representation of a boss with too few parses logged
7 mythic sv logged?
come on
can we stop bitching about other classes and complain about the true enemy now?
DRUIDS
Warriors?
Duhhhh bladestorm.... Im top dps
As they drool on their keyboard
^ lul
Feral actually does more st than assassin too
so does ours
25k. Dead.
nah, druid players always cry when their specs are not top 5
Me: "hit evasion next time"
waste of tricks, he'll pull aggro on his own
how come the guide says mutilate til 4+ cps, last time we used elaborateit was 3+ so we can maximize the uptime, what changed
enveloping what
Finishers is 4/5
Feral does more than assa on ST?
´´oh my god, guardian druid is not the best m+ tank with dk anymore, BLIZZ WHEN DO I GET BUFFS AND CAN AFK TANK AGAIN´´
elaborate
oh
well mostly because back then we had such a higher crit that it was more or less worth it to pop it with 3cps
you mean back in EN?
ye
yea, that should be it
with such a higher crit we'd overcap cp too easy
now that isn't such an issue anymore, even with 30% crit you'd still have a bit of a hard time capping it with 2 mutis frequently enough
I am excited about poison wire buff, hope its good, might make one of my higher ilvl azerites useful
it is somewhat important during empowered garrote
tho i just do normal rotation
rip sharpened blades 🐢
Are the trait changes live on US (dont seem to be on EU until tomorrow) and are raidbots etc. updated anyone know?
no clue but i'd say nah
In regards to toxic blade if it is up and I mutilate twice and have 5 combo points do I over cap and use toxic blade or do I wait for a 4 point combo to put it in the rotation?
Hello everyone, was MIA yesterday and today so I apologize if you've all been talking about this and are sick of it but I just saw the nerfs/buffs. When do they go live? Today in US, tomorrow EU?
Assassination
Poisoned Wire critical strike increased by 50%.
Sharpened Blades benefit from having multiple copies of this trait active has been reduced.
Outlaw
Brigand's Blitz haste increased by 50%.
Subtlety
Blade in the Shadows damage reduced by 25%.
Sharpened Blades damage reduced by 30% (unchanged in PvP). The benefit of having multiple copies of this trait active is reduced.
The First Dance now grants 2 stacks of the buff, and critical strike bonus reduced by 25%.
no clue, probably like how you said
those look like one of those changes that needs realm restart
And i assume they're not updated on herodmg or Bloodmallet?
they are going live at weekly restart aka as we speak
if sb is still on top they're not updated yet @_@"
the fixes are in simc, you can do a manual build
herodmg probably this afternoon
raidbots around the same time or the latest, this night
Interesting, predictions on if poisoned wire may grab a top spot?
there are manual overrides you can do of spelldata too
check tc updates channel for theorycrafter thoughts
unlikely tho, it would need a too big of a buff to be comparable to the top ones @_@"
Taken from Aethys in the TC Updates: "- Poisoned Wire: To be seen but do not expect it to crush everything."
i stand corrected blade in the shadows was not updated on github
is herodamage updated with the changes?
nah, just admiring sb still on top before they update it 😦
Poisoned wire is great change for assa in pvp - extra combo points are always welcome. I have one question - poisoned wire stacking always 2 times after garrote?
They really destroyed sb lmao
Uldir traits still king though right?
1 of it, yes, pickle
the subsequent ones drop in value because RA doesn't stack with more pieces
370 azerite poison wire post buff
ewwww
@daring imp Alright cool, still unlucky and don't have a single Uldir traits 😦 still rocking 2 DD and 1 SoB
Are engineering goggles actually good? I see that their swimming high but I wasn’t sure if they’re actually that strong
Simming*
1 x SB 1x archive 1x SS is the way to go
stacking archive 🐢 
I have no archive or lm 😦
It really@should be pinned that sims are broken with archive
that's 'cuz your highest pieces are likely those
i don't think they do that, sifi @_@"
Pretty sure it does
^
Can someone tell me why we use with 1x SS 1 Garrote and then Rupture in our opener? I mean thats only 3 CP's...
Pandemic the rup
Do we really still use 1 SS ?
drop 1 raid trait for now?
i mean, they get better when you reach 5+ stacks, but taking 2 right now seems a bit...pointless?
Well I run x3 SS in M+ i run the others in Raid
is it better to cc infested mob or kill it first while cleaving everything else?
CC Infested
the others will heal even if you cleave them
kill them last
deepens on the add group imo
Would've been nice if they fixed SS with all of these changes, I guess I was hoping for too much.
weve been ccing, some people in my grps have said you need to just kill it fast to make time...didnt make too much sense to me as everything else just heals
tbf, the heal is not THAT big, if you have a monk you can just pull all and when the infested worms come use ring of peace and kill them
like i said, deepens on the add group with the infested enemy
is it worth using a 3cp env just to keep the envenom buff going? or should i always use envenom at 4-5cp even if it means that i'll lose some uptime on Envenom buff?
well the guide says at 4 or 5 so there you have your answer
using envenom with only 3 cp means the envenom buff is only 4 sec too
cheers
but the EP buff will be full duration regardless though
@ember ermine , i had 1xSS, 1xLaser, 1xArchive and swapped Archive for another SS, my DPS has gone up considerably lol. I'd rather rely on constant and consistent damage than something that builds up. That and Uldir's Array buff, get that from Laser now anyways.
I ran +10 temple this week and we just zerged the mobs with cc tbh
Its not really that overhwelming the healing
As ele dh assa and dudu tank hmw monk
@placid elbow sims still says ss, laser, archive > 2x archive 1x laser
when do I pop galecallers? I finally got one. 375 ;D
Noob gets all my pings.

I know Shrouded Suffocation has been nerfed and sims low, but 2 other rogues in my guild said it's still pretty good and that the sims don't reflect using vanish to garrote again. Are there any cases where we should be using Shrouded Suffocation still? in M+ or Raids?
GC before exang.
rip people who went sharpened blades
It's not gonna line up with every exang though
Exang is 45 sec. GC is 1 min.
So hold exsang for it or no?
The apl holds until after the 2:20 alignment.
But boss mechanics let it resync.
Like waves of vectis.
If you want to see it in action. Check out Tyrarolls. Mythic parses.
yes.
what?
but you need mut crits to make cps for env/ep uptimes.
Garrote x3 still very good imo
@wild stone I use 3 empowered garrotes for every trash pull in m+ and will be top aoe unless warrior bladestorms
Most of your dps is melee, rupture and garrote
But I have 3x ss
Why would you care of the 6th or 7th source of your dps?
what are you on about?
Why not?
the Mut crit trait?
yeah or double dose
Mut crit is for cp gen
cps are for EP and Env uptimes.
it is not about mut damage.
never was with the Balanced Blade relic in legion
I don't think it is worth enough even with the up imo
I had 75% mut crit in legion. 100% crit on argus.
boi? get the fuck out of here.
Wut xD
Lol
DONT DISREPECJEF
depends.
no
what is the correct opener when playing with exsang?
Lul
@wheat zealot at the end, there were a EP builds with insig and very high crit. 55 crit 115 mastery ish.
relics were dumb to destroy, or i would have played a number of different builds.
Yeah i tried alacrity builds out, they were decent
Never changed my relics for it tho
but "why do we care about mut damage" was the real q. we dont.
Its all about the QoL of getting 4 CPs off mutilate 50% of the time
Feelsamazingman
@hard sonnet thanks!
Can chain ep for days
Better than sex.
