@iron prism and while theyre at it, remove versatility from the game, most boring stat ever created
I'm using 2x SS 1x LM
The name not the question; with haste values the way they are, its likely that stacking haste will be bis for this tier but you gotta sim yourself to be sure
2x SS 1x DD here
i'm rocking SS on a 340 piece because my 355 has garbage traits, and 2x laser matrix because of ilvl
i should just go hunt down some azerite gear... oh wait azerite doesn't drop in m+. good design 👍
Praying for a helm in raid this week
The system is so fking flawed
You guys complained that raiding didnt reward the best gear, thats why azerite doesnt drop in m+ 😄
I'm the best :v)
"you guys" i resemble that remark
well theoretically pvp rewards the best gear at gladiator rating 😄
i mean resent
You people
Its almost as if it were a joke
No joking allowed.
THIS GAME ISNT JUST A GAME YOU KNOW @spice surge
😂
"guys, we have two working systems with tiers and artifact traits. how can we take both of them and make them garbage. any ideas?"
instead of buffing bad azerite traits they just nerf every good one
FeelsGoodMan clap
Nerf the good ones instead so the raid tier lasts longer. Its genius
@frosty sentinel i think that's part of what feels so bad. like i get that SS needed to be nerfed or whatever... but how about making stuff that is clearly grossly undertuned better while you're at it?
Poison wire got buffed doe
^
Or whatever that garbo trait is called
xD
"slightly more poisoned wire, still pretty harmless"
is SS not good now? looking at bloodmallet and its pretty low on the list now
Its got some cheap generic rat poison on it
They buffed the worst frost dk trait by 100% and its still like 1500% off being useable. We're in it next
Does anyone else love spending all their gold on reforge or just me
"just step over the wire son"
Since gear has static azerite traits, doesn't that mean we should be able to make a list of which pieces of azerite gear are ideal from heroics, mythics and raids? Particularly where various traits are concerned
What does this stacking nerf on sb even mean.... why is it so hard for them to tell us numbers.
(if this exists, sorry for being late and a link to the resource would be appreciated)
the problem is that static azerite traits aren't static, they're significantly changed almost daily
My guess: sb is now linear instead of exponential
30%
But thats a guess

@paper aspen if you go to azerite traits on icy veins, you can select a trait you want and it'll list all gear with that trait
^^^
@iron prism I don't mean how good the trait is but what gear has which traits and etc.
Oh thanks!
You can also look at each az piece individually on wowhead if you want to hate yourself
but yeah i'm not spending time hunting down double dose shoulders from m0 just to get it nerfed tomorrow in a hotfix
You mean you dont know every single leather azerite piece by name and know exactly what traits are on it?
What a casual
High altitude turban bis???!!
for the moment yeah
What does it have
Damn, I gave that helm away last night
1xDitB, 1xDD, 1xArchive, bis. Calling it right now
Dd is so poop for m+. They shouldnt nerf it. But its blizz we talking aboot
dont give anythign away. be a hoarder
so wait... did i miss something and SS just start to suck overnight?
if your guildmate looks at you with those puppy dog eyes just ignore it
It's funny because I got yelled at for winning gear and giving it away
or just dont loot the boss and wait for post
Because someone else wanted gear I gave away but they didn't mention they needed it until after I gave it to someone who said they needed it .
Oh well lul
Tell them to get raidbots premium so it doesnt take 5 minutes to sim an upgrade
At least our plan of all rerolling dh worked. Revolving blades got nerfed. Good work team
@hollow stone you were not prepared?
im going to feel really bad for the other classes when DITB becomes our BiS
Lol. Now that daddy's dead none of them are prepared
Ditb?
@hollow stone
dh's have sacrificed 1% of their dps, what have you given?
Dagger in the bakc
Ah
Ditb, as I can see we can only stack two traits? I cant see any shoulders with it
Ditb is already bis for multiple classes
Its shit!
@unkempt karma freebooter shoulderpads, parrot-trainer mantle
All these changes are so annoying... having to switch bis talents all the time
Agreed af
@iron prism But they have to proc to get o 340 correct?
Didnt you mmow, blizzards goal this expansion is to make everyone spent theor gold.
Increasing acaling azerote respec and weekly nirfs to best traits
@unkempt karma but hey this is azerite so we actually need a WQ chest @340 lol
Not even gold just farming all peices in 370+ gg blizz
Honestly at this point I've stopped caring about getting BiS traits, they're gonna get nerfed in the next week anyway
Fck having 340s on...
@strange python same, sadly
Ill just keep my engineering goggles on
@iron prism - whoopie.. guess we gota farm the other two ^^
And m+ and raid traits differ to make things even easier
well it's not like you can farm azerite pieces that are high ilevel anyway. you get what you get each week
But dont get me started how terrible engineering is right now
The nerf today caused Double dose to pull ahead of sharpened blades, and SS is just weaker now due to nerfs but still significant source of damage, right?
ion, probably: "it felt bad needing to farm traits you wanted, so we made it impossible to farm azerite gear"
I feel like ss is still strong in M+
Yea ss is still good in m+
Is 2 sb still bis for us or is it something else now?
SS is still good in M+ but like, i'd rather not respec between doing solo content, doing Raid and then doing M+
Yes o agree about the respeccing
ss is bascially good if fights are short (either 1 garrote or 2 garotte w/vanish) and/or if you can dot multiple targets
I am in a small guild that doesnt really raid anyway though
i use 1 SS for heroic raiding but i'm not sure if i might spec out of it soon
So what traits are worth running in pvp?
i went from being undisputed top dps in first week to being 3rd this week, probably gonna be like 5th this week
even as it is at 340 it still is simming better than my other trait options on my 355 shoulders though...
does the sim nightly build has recent changes?
also any good sin rogue pvp streamer? Just starting to pvp and trying to get better
Arena or rbg?
@tropic rover pretty sure those questions are meant to be in the pvp section bit lower
I just rbg and spam FoK lol
sounds pretty pro
Ez life
No played Assassination yet, but I can get 3x dd traits, worth it?
Has Garrote bug been fixed?
For pvp is Deadly brew good to have a honor talent or is wound poision + something else better?
!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.
@unkempt karma i'd say so, you leaving sub after bits nerf?
Also, thank y'all for mentioning that you can respec azerite traits. For some reason I assumed you couldn't..
Since I only got 2x bits + inve. I might just try it, and Since I like m+ why no try doing better then what sub is doing now
is exsang for m+ worth it? I mean you apply garrote on all, rupture on 3, exsang one and cant garrote again as soon as it runs out because of the bug?
Is running 2 sb still best for us after the nerf?
@unkempt karma i mean sub is till quite good, but go for it
@hallow kraken Never use wound poison, you do no damage without deadly. You always run deadly brew talent+system shock
play what you like
@strange pythoncawin
❤
If you don't use shrouded Suffocation for raiding, I've been wondering if on pure ST will the ST Boost from subterfuge still be King?
I thought blizzard was trying to make traits more diverse? Why do I feel like we're running out of good traits?
I need to test that
i like exsang more for m+ because it can give you a bit more energy after garroting and rupturing
@jovial aurora No dont think so, my DD shoulders sim higher than my SB now, even if i stack 2xSB
@iron prism I like sub, but as it looks now.. 3 nerfs in a row 😛 While I see people raping m+ in assassination
Alright
i miss the sub rotation but yeah m+ is pretty fun as assassin, garrote tab garrote tab garrote, stack ruptures
rupture fan fan rupture fan fan rupture
vanish garrote tab garrote tab garrote
So bit awkward rn for me, 1xSB/1xDD/1xArchive sims highest for me eventhough 1xSB is supposed to be hot garbage
silencing a pack to start a pull helps too
And its pulls more damage with less effort. As of now I can get 3 x 340 DD stacks. And Secondary gear with 2x 340 SS for m+
Honestly I really love Assa and Outlaw... Sub just got too many nerfs
I know I will sim lower... but yeah thats life I guess
i do miss sub just absolutely wrecking in single target when you need something to die fast
but otherwise yeah assassination is more rewarding in m+
@unkempt karma If ur a raider u gonna need Sub/Assa on point either way, outlaw u dont need it rn in Uldir
@iron prism the silence is so undervalued 6 seconds of no casting with iron wire
Do people go sub for Zul fight?
Yes
Are any sim sites updated for todays hotfixes yet?
@wheat zealot yeah especially trying to pull stupid chain casting mobs
@mortal basalt Yes and Zek'voz aswell in general
You are really stupid if you dont on zul, because the damage is just so much higher
i was cheap shot for a bit but iron wire is just so damn useful for the extra silence in m+
Although it's not as good as sub, Outlaw does pretty darn well on Zul and Zek as well
@hasty crater Atm, im only geared for sub but its not like loot falls from the sky. I'm getting mixed gear but I want to start maximze 1 gear set.
so wtf we doin this week
Outlaw does comparable damage on H zul, but its spread aoe. Not funneled ST
Out of the 128 sub rogue that had killed zul yesterday. ALL of them could be found in top 138 on boss damg
Is HeroDamage/Raidbots updated?
Only 10 warlocks snuck in after like the 100:th rogue
You can get 3 garrotes out of subterfuge right?
@unkempt karma If u want to all-in 1 spec, go assasination, performs best on most fights in uldir and good in m+. However u NEED a sub or even outlaw combination for Zul
hey i'll have you know i posted a 76 on zul as assassination spec, i'm basically an all star /s
Before the ss bug would screw you
Not gonna lie though, i'm so bad at AoEing properly as sub lol
I mean 3, nightblade is a must
assa is fine on zul , you Burst hin always and just clear the adds down real quick
i mean.. aoe just feels bad as sub
and SecTec if u specced for it which most likely u did on zul
It feels good imo, 80k eviscerates are prtty juicy
idk what it exactly is but sometimes my energyreg is literally nonexistant
- clear = cleave
Sub is literally only fun when comboing
even tho everythings up
On zul mythic you dont clear all the adds
Otherwise it feels like shit
@ripe comet its okay, big step down from Sub rogue tho on zul.
You keep em up so rogues can do 2x of everyone elses dmg
Hmm i was definitly doing it wrong then
mythic is Another beast thats true
So am i correct that you can garrote 4 things, vanish and garrote 3 more times and all 7 thins would get ss?
i had no issue with assassin on zul... garrote the hexer and big add and zul, fan/rupture until adds down, push boss into phase 2, vanish/garrote on add spawn
Garrote 3 things, then vanish
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.

in mythic Sun beats every other spec in zum i give you that
what
Tfw your guildies are scumbags and focus crawgs over boss on lower difficulties
They die in like 2 seconds
still “what”
Are the stats needed for sub/assass wildly different?
zum!?
@balmy perch you should be able to garrote a 4th time, but doing so currently wipes out SS multiplier so not really
zul
Like am I gonna have to carry two sets of gear
German t9 and english wow slang don't Go along well :/
im carrying 3 sets of gear
@hasty crater ireapi qas asking the opposite. If you cast non ss garrotes then cast a ss garrote, does it affect all your previous non ss garrotes as well.
@vagrant linden you'll end up having 2 sets of azerite armor at the very least. likely 3 (4 if you play all 3)
No it wont affect earlier garrotes
i'm carrying like 5 sets of gear because i'm not destroying other azerite gear when blizz is changing bis traits every week
ok so is there a way to really understand which trait is better? i have a piece with SS and the archive thing, don't have either trait at all so would be my first
Yea honestly at the beginning i was playing around with the azerite respec.. but god does that add up quickly
two sets of azerite I understand but 3 whole entire sets of armor?
but theyre in the bank
your trinkets/rings you'll also have multiple sets, as that's where most your 2ndaries come from.
i have half a Bank of 340 azerite gear, its awefull
be ready to carry them forever, they have no clue wtf is going on
So I should just hoard every single piece of gear I get
i do
yes
@hasty crater thanks for the tips @iron prism thanks as well
if you have your bracers/leggs etc. with just haste or crit, then it's viable for all 3. needing to only swap out rings/trinkets/azerite for the majority
2-3 pieces of the same azerite gear even
Does it even matter what traits you run anymore assassination? 1 SS for M+ and literally run anything else
no it doesnt matter
I mean, its not like you NEED to have different sets. Most of the time your highest ilvl will be better for multiple sets even without bis stats
I go x3 ss for m+
only for m+
SS is still Top Pick for m+
xd
i use x2 ss since that's all i have for m+. and any 3rd works (you can even go with the rupture gets more agility, as it's useful on packs . . . just nowhere else)
now its good , just Not dumpstering Everything Else and their mother anymore
so go with Archive over SS? I dunno, looking at ST raid stuff for me
ST right now just take highest ilvl azerite piece that one is best and hope it has good traits aswell
Actually Rupture is useful in 3s also @solar bramble
even for ST, i like 1 SS for the simplified opener and stealth rotation (and it becomes better to use vanish with it on add spawns
important question: what's an acceptable amount to bribe your raid leader to move you to the next chamber last on MOTHER so that you can get a orange parse?
My dps is shit after my opener is done why..?
because that's how assa works xD
just do good dmg and u will get in last grp
@iron prism you don't, you can't get Orange since the cheese fix:P
@iron prism lol i have that issue. Always forced to go first
@prisma perch you stacking SS and using subterfuge? if so, you're not getting the bonus after your first dots end from stealth
@prisma perch the burst damage from assassination is really high. so the basic spec levels out a fair bit lower to keep it averaged. I'm far from the best sin, but I get roughly 16-18k on burst. but level out around 10-11k normally
nah , you get First Group because you just kill and cc all adds alone so your raid doesent fucking die every Single time x)
mother mythic is fun
Subterfige cheapshot
i mean i dont know mythic mother but who dies on n/h mother
meh first group should have a monk or boomie lol
with 20man moving in 4 seconds
i can show u my rogue right?
even on heroic we dont even bother going to 3rd room anymore
yup lol
ya, on mother I use my first vengence in an open. and she dies not too far after 2nd vengence in 2nd room
@prisma perch i'll show you mine if you show me yours
But carring dead weight so everybody get bis loot is more fun :P
@iron prism sure ;x
not doing nothing in a room for 3 min
lol if i can get the last group on mother i'm generally #1-3 on dps. otherwise i drop sooooooo far
"Not doing nothing"
@onyx wind thats not true, you like... attack a slime every 20 seconds

and... run from a fire
not on mythic
slowly
damn it now i want to do mythic
and then they wait 3 min
slackers not showing up on raid day
that; sounds like your healers hate you. 15 at once lol
immunities
disc bubble
!sim/eu/blackrock/derias
nah
15 at once is so easy for mythic. Took like 3 pulls with that strat
just sounds painful for healers. but i guess if people use defensives, then it's very much possible
i don't have so much trust in people lol
they use cd’s
Mechanics are super easy when there’s no adds to stun or interrupt. Your havoc will get an orange healing parse just with darkness lul
i'd take the first 2-3 hits and shroud the remaining ticks
then wait for 3 min
not really painful
i wouldnt use shroud
maybe an add dot goes off
who knows
true. if just my normal 40% redduction is enough
you survive anyway
alongside potion
Pretty sure cloak doesn’t even work. You just sit in disc barrier and it’s all good
cloak works
Can you tell me why I suck? thats me https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/blackrock/Derias
male bloodelf, easy spot
wowlogs are much easier to look at
since we can see uptimes and such on DoT's and so on
^
I tried but they fail to save e.e
i can't help much with putting up logs. i'm just acceptable at reading them
I like to compare them to my own uptimes. and dmg value %'s and such
just go on warcraftlogs
wtb energyreg
and copy the rank1 log
energy regen is why i like fights with long lasting adds or 2nd bosses close lol
its not perfect, but a good way to start
Log reviews were so much simpler in legion “proc poison bomb more”
be careful with copying the #1 log th ough
lmao
rofl poison bomb
check the traits. if theirs many SS traits in there. it'll schew percentages
Meme bomb
tfw i got 99% in legion with prydaz and sephuz
I have 2x SS and once DD
pog
imagine my excitement when i got prydaz while everybody else got pants or wrists
so most of your dmg will come from your opener. and resetealth burst
pants sucked lmao
out of traits
you mean boots
that was feint wasnt it
?
haha
Pants made the mage tower challenges a joke at least :/
@solar bramble I have to use vanish only after garrote runs out then apply 2 on boss again?
@prisma perch what does your opener look like? exact sequence of events when you can
at least saying "legendary pants" sounds dope
no you don't altorm. post your opener
i have mine memorized. whether or not it's optimal idk
@solar bramble Garrote Rupture Garrote Vendetta toxic envenom
G R G ven tb envenom
i don't dougble garrote that early
@solar bramble opener changes based on racials too, like as a troll I get an extra evenom in my opener than the guide
what do i do wrong? i finish like 9k dps at the end...
i do garrote > mut > rupture > vendetta > toxic blade > mutialte > vanish > envenom > mutilate > rupture > wait 1-2 seconds > envenom (so it doesn't overdo the other envenom) > 1-2 mutilates depending on crits > envenom > 1-2 mutilates > reapply rupture within the last 2-3 seconds of vendetta
why vanish
replace the 2nd rupture with garrote sry
there
that vanish is so awkward
anyone have a SB weakaura they like?
oh
it's more to reapply rupture closer to pandemic within vendetta
so i'm not just double casting garrote
@ionic charm Curious how you get an extra envenom out of your opener as a troll. As haste doesnt reduce gcd for rogues
reapply garrote sry
Why would you vanish envenom though?
because i can vanish as an off global. don't need it there, it can be moved a gcd or two. just habit
as i said, idk if it's optimal. but it's how i do it. . . . and if the fight has an add phase within a minute (and i don't loose a vanish through the fight) then i'll hold the vanish entirely for the add phase
@real socket https://pastebin.com/JgbBEpZc one im using
@spice surge extra haste, usually flooded with energy before vanish to reapply Garrote. With ss traits, I get an extra mutilate before vanish, so my vanish Garrote evenom garrote instead of double garrote and waiting to refresh rupture
is assa still the bread winner for m+
i havent played since shrouded nerf
@solar bramble why would you not garrote > rupture > garrote > vendetta > tb > envenom and save your vanish for when first garrote wears?
dont you garrote twice with ss?
idk. picked up assassin only a week or two ago. still working out kinks. wanna get one opener down pat and know it's neuances before making adjustments
so outlaw assa and sub for high keys
then i'll know why i'm making them
all competitive
well, technically garrote > rupture > garrote is with at least 1 ss
if thats the case no point in playing the harder of the 3
I just assumed you were running at least 1 ss, is that accurate?
if i was to adjust it with garrote and SS taking priority in my opener. i'd likely use garrote > vendetta > garrote > rupture. and near the end of vendetta i'd use vanish > double garrote. so i get a full 40 seconds or so of 30% bonus SS garrotes. . . . but i'd need to change a bit up
even with SS nerf it should still take priority in your opener if you're using it cause otherwise it's a dead trait
that vendetta is a waste, gotta put that later
@solar bramble Wait, that opener was for SS with Subterfuge?
@solar bramble that is awful opener with ss..
or change to DD, Archive, PW - now whe have much more options

SS with subterfuge ya
Awful.. very bad
That is a bad opener then ya, sorry
With Galecallers, do I use that before or after exang?
which one @strange python the original one i posted. or that really awkward one a moment ago
G r g is the standard first 3 globals with ss regardless if you are running Tb or exsang
G,R,G, vendetta, mutilate, rupture exang
galecallers before you apply dots
@charred raptor before exsang, the haste snapshots the dot
anyone got an resources on using exang/CT for M+ (AoE n ST rotations)
But its not far off the opener for No SS using MA, so you have that going for you
right?
The one a few moments ago
ya the one a few moments ago wasn't meant to be serius. more a consideration
@ionic charm Should I use it before I Garrote/Rupture too?
serious
@ionic charm How sure are you of that? I'm pretty sure only feral snap shots now
Or only before I exang
@opal mason exang snap shotd
don't our dots snapshot?
So CGB before exang
i've always played it assuming they did
oh I don't use exsang, so wouldn't know XD
Only on exang. The rest are dynamic
@solar bramble What do you mean, you said that was your opener
@charred raptor don’t think it matters, I’m not 100% sure but I’m pretty sure exsang resets the snapshot
It doesnt reset as nothing else snapshots they are all dynamic
i didnt realize so many people use exsang
Yea it will fade soon with archive double dose x 2
People have a hard on for Exsang
If you have galecallers and ss traits it should sim higher in exsang
@strange python Holla at your boy!
bigger burst pray this world boss drops me that SS helm boys
i'm all about that 2x DD + TB life
which one? i posted the garrote > vendetta > garrote which was the unserious one. . . . the one I actually use [garotte > mutialte > rupture > vendetta > toxic blade > mutilate > vanish > envenom > mutilate > garrote > wait 2-3 seconds > Envenom (don't wanna overbuff the previous envenom) > 1-2 mutilate dpending on crits > envenom > 1-2 mutilate depending on crits > rupture before vendetta fades
Is swapping WoW gold for Runescape gold against WoW TOS?
@solar bramble All of that was wrong, unserious or not
@strange python gold is gold fam
@opal mason thats what i thought but i'm not sure
@solar bramble both of those openers are pretty bad. You shouldn’t be vanishing before envenom
@solar bramble you may be better off using another envenom before vendetta ends as rupture doesnt snapshot
Go read the guide, practice it, read it again
i never assumed it was right lol. just what i use
So the increased envenom damage would probably more beneficial. As long ss your dots are still rolling
Why would you use something that sub-optimal, if you have a resource that tells you the right way
at that point my rupture is generally down to about 7 seconds. if i add envenom there, it'd probably cause rupture to fall off, even if slightly
@opal mason people dont read or practice on target dummies anymore
@solar bramble shouldnt do
And even so. How much damage would a vendetta envenom do vs 1 tick missed of rupture and possibly venomous wounds
Alright, well, if you don't care that what you are doing is wrong, there is really no reason for us to waste time telling you why it is wrong
Just read the apl from ur sim
Overall does toxic blade or exang do more dps in a m+ / raid
how important is it to pool for envenom?
@cyan frost
and how much/when should I do it
for AoE Exang when woudl you use exang? i assume you G G G Rup FoK FoK CT Exang?
@cyan frost depends on gear
more than 1 tick. since i'm really low on energy there (need more haste). but ya, if i reapply with 3 cp or so then probably wouldn't lose a tick and just gain the vendetta envenom. . . . not snapshotting is good to know (always assumed it did, hence why i placed it there)
cyborg, just go to ravenholdt and look up the opener for your respective spec. things are there for a reason I promise
I @onyx falcon would exange the rupture garroted target before the fok fok cts. Not sure what others think by for me it works out better with the empowered garrote and rupture on primary target
if you want to know WHY things are there, that's fine, but a lot of people did work to find the most optimal opener so trying to find your own isn't going to be something people want to do
@solar bramble i have 95-99s and couple of 100s for bracket. And my gears dogshit
do you clip your bleeds to get them to full duration before you exsange outside of opener?
You need to check logs and through experience figure out just how much damage per tick you would lose vs buffed envenoms etc
@dark sun yes
You want garrote and rupture to be full pandemic timers
if you guys are running exsang, what are you doing for azerite traits? I've never once had xsang beat tb on my sims
Before exang on all occassions. On opener you 3 seconds out on garrotr due to vendetta mutilate rupture
@opal mason shrouded suff
Is there somewhere I can go to know what spec is best on what fight in uldir?
playing a spec you know and are good at > playing the highest dps spec on warcraftlogs
If your on an aoe boss but you have crazy aoe in guild. Maybe best spec is ST. Lower overall dps higher boss damage
so do I clip the bleeds no matter what time is left on them or do I hold exsang for a little bit?
So view them with caution
Well for example sub is best on Zul but some fights arent so clear such as Taloc
You never overwrite bleeds that have exsang on
sub on something like zul is amazing. I prefer outlaw on zek'voz. assassination works really well on zek as well (same with vectics)
@dark sun i clip them a bit always to ensure i have my CDs lined up on the 2 min mark. There is wiggle room but itnis extremely rare not tonhave to clip them
@strange python thats not what hebis asking he is asking if he should override the bleeds even if they have 25 seconds on them before he exangs for full pandemix
@mortal basalt i like outlaw on Taloc. if only for the extra range to hit outside pools on 2nd phase. unless i've just had bad tanks
im gonna have to try this 3x SS exsang shit, i'm still doing 1x SS 2x DD tb
Or if he shoukd delay exañg to prevent such a high duration re rupture or garrote
Sin is good on every fight in uldir. Maybe not optimal on every one (zul and zek have already been mentioned). If youre not pushing mythixxx, i would play what you want
Well rep
There's no bleed that lasts 25 sec
@strange python lol
Wow
Rup is 28 but with strata
Is the shrouded suffocation bug still happening?
🤔
@strange python you really should understand what your talking about before you preach here
Go rupture a target dummy at 10 seconds. Check the pandemic timer from a full 5 cp re rupture
Then come and give advice on here
Didn't give an advice on that homeboy
I just misunderstood the first question
guys if we drop all our SS should we drop subterfuge too right?
in your opener do you wait for ur second exang to come off cooldown to use vanish ? or just vanish when first ss garrote falls off
@thin ingot Probably, but sim yo self
@strange python you talk to me like you know what your talking about when your wrong. Its mis information to those trying to learn because you dont understand enough
@cyan frost You wait till garrote falls off,
And u use vanish

That is if u use subterfuge with ss
@strange python so just use exang on CD basically?
Check pins for opener guides on ravenholdt
-learning exang atm- if i pandemic R/G w/ exang applied does it keep exang?
The opener is literally on the site bro
alright ty
do not write over exsang bleeds
Vend exsang, exsang, vend exsang, exsang. Every other xsang will be without vend
so basically like garrote empowers you wanna reapply right when they fall off/at 0.1 s
same with SS garrotes
Think of exsang as a 1 min cd
@onyx falcon you want them to completely drop off. The last tick has to hit
ugh so different from TB where you basically use on CD no matter wut >.<
back to dummies
Dps diff between tb and exsang usually isnt much. If youre that much more comfortable using tb, you should prob just use tb
@onyx falcon the community needs more rogues like you. Love people that put time in to practice and test. Not the same as raid environments but i spend hours every week on dummies
@hollow stone TB escalates with double dose very nicely from my understanding (someone correct me if i am wrong)
exsang is meh for me
6 dps loss
Thats correct, tb increases ALL nature dmg we do within its window @strange python
Thought my dps was bad simmed Jesus
@thin ingot Sim again, and use Master Assassin+TB instead of Subterfuge+TB
so the assassination opener it sets for 1+ SS traits. do you knowingly let rupture fall off to get more envenoms during vendetta?
@strange python lol more along the lines of im not gonna go into a random dungeon/raid where ive never done this build before i hate being a carry
@solar bramble there is a no ss opener also
it doesn't have it anywhere in there outside the initial use
Rupture never falls off

guys where is it best to look the logs?
@onyx falcon exactly. Perfect attitude /salute
@hollow stone not in M+, exag/ct is way better atm is why im learning it
i have 2 SS atm. since i do more m+ than raids. and don't have decent azerite armor outside
just picked up sin not to long ago. so don't have a collection of other traits like double dose
should i log at the raid puppet?
@solar bramble Then learn the SS opener in the guide
guys if Master Poisoner sims the same as elaborate planning on ST. in an aoe fight would that scale in favor of MP?
Exsang isnt that much better in m+ tbh but if youre willing to learn, do it up! Any dps increase is an increase 😃
i am lol. that's why I was asking if no 2nd rupture in the opener is intended
@lone junco yea i know mate x wantes the other guy to lool into it as he was telling people incorrectly. Appreciate the support x
Look*
My bad 😃
is poisoned wire updated on sims?
@lone juncowhy not just *1.3 >:)
@onyx falcon because it is not fixed value.
There are two in there, what am I saying
@strange python :) this is why we come here :) im a dps whore and spend untold amount of time in here talking and reading and practicing :)
no one saw i @ ed the wrong noob
it depends on the early cp and late cp
OMG
Anyone able to PM - Would like some help with assassination if possible 😃
i suck
We all come to learn
Poor ed
@ noobe yea i know im just saying for that particular one you coulda XD
just memeing
that's why i was confused. using garrote > rupture > garrote is a 3 cp rupture which is 15 seconds. theirs no 2nd application in the toxic blade + SS setup
15 seconds being 1-2 cd's before vendetta is even cast. it'd fade long before vendeta is
shouldnt be below garrote.
One or more Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blde
Garrote
Rupture
Garrote
Vendetta
Toxic Blade
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote twice
hi all, Im looking at re rolling rogue - was wondering if it has a stand out for mythic plus, as this will my focus?
all 3 rogue specs work for m+ @unkempt star
outlaw being probablyt he easiest to learn for it
Any up to date info on traits since hotfixes?
ah brilliant, just need to figure out which I like then, thanks @solar bramble
do you guys play more than one spec?
Not since they changed combat. Lol
I play them aaaaalllll
@unkempt star depends on Dungeon/Comp/Pull patern. All 3 specs are viable
Rogue nation
Play the class not a spec
I stick to mut. Then I play alts when I get bored.
been considering learning outlaw.... only really played sin so far
sub is focused on killing one priority target. outlaw is just sheer AoE. assassin has solid AoE, and decent boss killing. but a little harder to execute in m+. since you'll also be wanting to interrupt priority targets. and when tab targeting to keep up garrotes + ruptures that can be a little taxing. At least till you get used to it (@focus macro's are amazing here)
Tomoorow it is time boys back to haste items👌
Assassination is just tab one you get rupt+garrote on a target?
and keep tabbing around?
Assa is the overall-killer. Go Assa.
(coming from sub)
what's best rouge spec atm
@daring imp I don't know, is SS still good in m+?
prolly shadow rogue
i tr;y to keep garrote and rupture on 3 targets. or at least rupture on 3 and garrote on 2. just so the energy regen feeds into envenom and knife spam

hell yeah
Been answering this question to much lately, its all about triage rogues now
I alternate an envenom to 1-2 ruptures. since it's buff is up for most of it
I start from stealth triple garrote then 3x rupture
Triage Rogue definetly best
garrote on 3 diff targets?
ya
Yes
i see
@sand canyon what you gonna be running next week? What spec
read your passives
I garrote and rupture 3 targets then /lay
yeah i know, "allows use of stealth" ec
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hVSDioFAGkV4U1oCu9uUK7 4 ilvls one day boys
so i wanted to try sin, and i was stoked cuz i had 2 pieces with SS as traits
but with the nerf im pretty meh about it now
@inner pulsar making me reminisce pre nerf ss lmao
ok, i need to practice more sin
venemous wounds generates 7 energy every time a poisoned target takes dmg from a bleed
G g g ct, afk and do 35k dps
either your rupture, garrote, or a talented stun
@wheat zealot i have not heard the term triage rogues. Can you elaborate
My traits are all over the place in assa. Swirling + Poison wire + double dose
do you guys also reach a hastecap at around 20% for singletarget? as in it not being your best stat any longer
if you spread around garrotes and ruptures. and use knives + envenoms. everything is poisoned with dots. giving you nearly infinite energy
outlaw is the easiest spec, but could also be boring after a while. not much to press here, in comparison with the other 2 specs.
@wheat zealot I CT as well if I am feeling froggy
you think outlaw is easiest?
3 snake eyes normal outlaw is far harder to execute
Triage Rogue is the new healing spec that is going to replace Sin
@strange python new rogue healing spec in 8.1
@wheat zealot hahahahah
Yes, in my opinion Outlul is easiest.
Replacing Garrote with Tourniquet
if your talking deadshot outlaw then yes it's a bit easier than sin or sub. but tripple (or double) snake eyes with roll the bones (not the snek meme build) is a lot more to manage
@limber shell all stats have deminishing returns so i just sim and adjust. Haste with assa remains strong not sure how much will be needed before it drops below #1. It may never and the rest may adjust
Vendetta replaced with Recuperation
for m+ i find sin the hardest. just because tab targeting while also managing all of your interrupts on the proper target is the most difficult to do
What’s the weapon? No more daggers I assume
Syringes
Can't believe y'all didn't see this. It was in the patch notes right under where they talked about Feral Voltron
@wheat zealot i honestly thought you meant rogues just take any spec thats required for raid comp. As in we triage the gaps
But thats not only my opinion, there are a lot High-End Rogues like Ashine (PvE), Pshero (PvP), Pikaboo (PvP), Yliajo (PvE) who also stated that Outlul is easier to lern than the other two specs.
@strange python yeah I got 22% haste, and now statweights from raidbots tells me that both agility and crit is more worth, I should trust that
I got rid of tab targeting. I just have big ass nameplates with icons that t*ke over my screen
CT over PB for M+?
Except in WCL we are still shitting on folks
Wait, whats going on with Fury-Warrior? lul.
I'm glad holy priests are so close to fire mages and their own dps spec
Buffed 6% flat and some trait adjustments
@strange python sub profile probably need a update
the sim is using sharpened what is now 💩
not sure if sin also need a update or is already up to date
@vestal wren Good, an orange, can you please fix the pin to reflect the new hotfix language
And Arcane Mage on 2nd? lululul. 😄
@vestal wren not sure but it changed in last 24 hours
@lone junco You like feelings, you already told us
i cant, liavre did the pin so he can only change the wording, but i will inform him
knife was doing like 7% dmg only
im 359 ilvl and my OH weeapon is still 300 ilvl how much is this hurting my dps?
Ah, thank you
@tropic heron about 1.1dps per item level
@tropic heron Wow, that sucks
@unborn rampart 100%
oh ok so only like 50 dps or so
@strange python per dps sorry
was just trying to figure out why i seem to do so little damage comapred to other poeple of similar ilvl
@tropic heron sorry i meant per weapon dps
i thought it was my weapon
Lol, did you just @ yourself?

@wheat zealot ayy
@tropic heron its all about stat weights, azerite traits etc when simming
I upgraded a 355 trinket with a 390 taloc trinket. 35 item level
I gained 30dps ST
@inner pulsar Bro you are hilarious
i have pretty good traits rn
Gained 2 item level overall.
@inner pulsar I kno rite?
so are sims updated for the corpsuciles proc buff or is it only better because ilvl/agility lol
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/daQZH7fpZoXXEPLKsz1WKZ
all 3 pieces have double dose
oy 3x DD do not have any dr?
@daring imp Shhhhh'=
raidbots hasnt seemed to update my equipment yet
Use simc and import it
i uhh
Instead of waiting 6 hours
dont have that
when running Crimson Tempest, what's my opener on AoE packs? 3x garrote, Crimson, continue with normal rotation? or do I apply it twice for longer duration
!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.
Then u type /simc and copy that text into raidbots
does archive of the titans stack with 2 pieces?
nver noticed... but mechamoroes has a profile pic and a 1/2
@grim wolf Trait stacks, Reorg Array does not
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?
yeah i figured reorg array doesn't
@buoyant ember it should cover tb usage in RH guide.
i guess it'll do 24 main stat instead of 12 (if you have 2 pieces)
@buoyant ember don't over cap but pool to make sure during TB you get maximum envenom uptime
So envenom, TB (envenom is still up)
@grim wolf Correct
Then fit in as much envenom uptime as you can
@strange python That is contrary to the guide, says TB on cooldown
Thanks @inner pulsar 😄
Realistically you'd want to watch your CP and the cooldown on TB so as not to be at 5 CP when TB comes up, but the guide would suggest even in that situation you would TB
You are unlikely to get two Envenoms in the TB window if you Envenom > TB, which I think is why the suggestion is to go ahead and hit it
Yeah thats my confusion. There are conflicting strategies
Ok, I had read the pins, guides and simmed. But was still unsure as it doesnt feel right to over cap the cp just to use tb.
@inner pulsar if you have pooled you can easily get in 2.
2 is ez, 3 is unlikely outside of burst windows
Unless something has fundamentally changed but im game for being educated on this
Yeah I always get 2 in np
If you have 5 CP and are already pooled and THEN TB comes up, you have messed up somewhere else
@wheat zealot exactly.
I guess you need a lot of haste to sim well with assa?
So it would be wasted cps to cast TB if at max CP
@unkempt karma not necesarrily
I could absolutely, 100% be wrong
Dunno if the question is answered already, but the changes are live on bloodmallet ?
Its about ensuring you track your cds and prepare for the windows
Again, optimally you wouldnt be in that situation
@inner pulsar rng be rng :)
Gotta just practice and learn over time adapting on the fly
Rng man
Im still stuck on 3 x ss even in raid
Not a single upgraded azerite piece in 3 resets
So is a 340 Azok Heart better against a 365 Frenetic Corpuscle? Truly? Sims shows it is but ive heard nothing but raid trinkets being garbage lol
So you dont have a single uldir piece? @strange python
I sim 13.6k atm. Stats are 1.9 haste vs 1.6x for crit.
And traits are 3 different ones, not even stacking
yiKes
I would probably hit TB at 5 and then Envenom, while disclaiming that is what I would do, not saying it is correct
Have you clear normal and heroic all 3 weeks? If so, thats just terrible rng
Are there any updated sites that have today's trait balances?
Rngesus will be with you soon, gotta have faith haha
@wheat zealot ill be quitting this reset if not. I gained 150dps in 2 weeks
Nope, he has forsaken him
+10s each week etc.
And apparently therr is bad luck protection on azerite :p
Better be in my favour this reset
So they say
Else ill cry
im not cool enough for +10s because of that crappy io nonsense
Tomorrow ill open cache and get 380 item with no dps gain haha
I havent gotten an azerite piece from cache yet so we will see
@violet lintel i link them my 95-99 raid logs and my 750ish raiderio. Tend to get a group
is there a way to have details not count vanish as a combat reset . . . . . . 😦
I got a 385 DitB helm last week, and then a 370 LM helm, so I gotta where the LM for now
@solar bramble not on a target dummy
eww 😦
@solar bramble You can use overall data
Join a group
now to figure out how to setup overall data lol

Switch from current segment to overall segment
found it
@solar bramble instead of current segment you can see overall data
@solar bramble :)
If it was a snake it would have bit you.
@violet lintel ruined the game. I play like 6 hours raiding a week and maybe 2 hours outside of raid due to RL commitments. I have not been out dpsed in a single m+ even with 1000+ raider io 370 dps and im 360
Are you guys running Subterfuge with DD or na?
Any updated resources showing how Poisoned Wire is doing now?
And sometimes it takes me a while to get into a group. Hence why i link them everything i can to get invited lol
Else my 360item level is seen as me being bad
@strange python Its cause I have whispered them all before you telling them how bad you are
My guild dps are like 366-373
@inner pulsar lol. No coaching for you when i start streaming :p
On na and eu
Shheeeeetttt, I don't need any coaching, I just roll my face on the keyboard, and what happens happens
@inner pulsar +1
😦 dynamic overall dmg doesn't let me look at uptime that i can see. like normal dps does (just pulls up the ability to paste my parse)
fixed
Run all kinds of messed talents, Subterfuge with No SS, Blindside, Venom Rush
Cheat Death? Nah, Leeching Poison for me dawg
Stack versatility
Sounds optimal 👌
@wheat zealot lol 😂
@inner pulsar i think i am developing a mancrush
Your the new meta
is it just me or does archive of titans give 10 now
I'm trying to think what else terrible I could do.
instead of 6
So Im struggling to figure out how I lost 400 dps today even though I had no SB traits
I run Orbs on G'huun as Assassin
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iGLhXGf1W9ahJd6PfPq89H
someone could try to explain how this trait on the chest is simming higher then 4stack matrix/archive ?
@inner pulsar i do
I just straight up took Garrote off my bars, 1 DoT was enough to keep track of
@strange python Do you run with a Pally?
Oh, we only use 2
@inner pulsar I had a feeeeling. that 4p20 would be lolzy in time walk
On each side I mean
it was delightful
@lone junco Ha
with a lust it would be like 105% haste
Lol, no OH animation at all
prob no main hand tbh
Haha
i got to 75 with 2 trinkets.
You just become one giant Dagger
@inner pulsar sometimes gotta vanish to drop aggro cause bad tanks in m+ lol
juju/gc + sephuz + lust + exang snapshot on 2ss.
@hard sonnet I use Actual Death to drop aggro in M+
st just kind of dies.
Whats 'good' rio score for people now?
I mean, I don't, because as I said already, in M+ I garrote and rupture 3 targets and /lay
Always blame the tank
Yikes
I will probably never do M+ again after pugging +8 Underrot last week
@hard sonnet Are you one of those azerite reforgers
?
io around 1k is pretty good.
Hmm
Im at 982 rio and get declined for many 10s lol
@inner pulsar double matron in underrot was pretty awful
@inner pulsar no I just kept wasting gold on guild lotto lol
@onyx wind crafted 385s? Since when was that possible?
since uldir release
BOOYAH
@inner pulsar self promotion isent welcome here
@onyx wind didnt know they could be crafted so high

they can
@onyx wind may need to drop out my inscription
You may want to, yeah
@wheat zealot Right right haha
@wheat zealot what was it gated behind?
Mats
But youre gonna need a billion expulsom
Sanguicell
I have 250 sanguicell
for me it was gated behind expulsom
Or more
because i slacked on my transmutions
I like my potions too much.
Ok need to gom was lovely chatting as always. Misses needs cuddles! Gl on cache and reset all
Need to go*
Tell her you're talking businesses
@strange python reprobate? More like reproduce naw mee??
@hard sonnet if you had a misses like mine you wouldn't risk losing her
Lol
Bye bye
going for cuddles is the best way to make ur gf not respect u
Lol women are replaceable
@arctic isle I don't think you will ever have to worry about that
Wow isnt

so on bigger trash you only garrote 3 mobs?
I mean, the bot is pretty clear in its explanation
hello is raidbot updated with the azerite changes ? ty
is there a general trait setup for mythic+ atm, besides I assume as many shrouded as u can get?
i run 2 SS 1 DitB
but my inventory isnt very large either
nvm i swapped the DitB to Fan of blades
they fixed the garrote bug?
I still see them empowered on the3 first one, and normal on a 4th one
2 SS still better the archiv :/ i just simmed it x.x
@cinder lotus That is unlikely
like 500 dps dif
I think its sim yourself both ways. Garrote bug is not fixed afaik. no patch notes about it
@glad shuttle You checked that the first 3 stayed empowered?
yeah

I see 3 with 2200 damages every sec, and one with ~1100
let me know if you see the same thing
I am not able to test it currently, not in game
raidbots updated yet?
just tried it again, I'm pretty sure it's fixed
I may have misunderstood the bot, but the non empowered garrote will reduce the damage of the empowered ones even if the garrotes are all on different targets?
I tested too. Im seeing 3 empowered ticking and one normal
