yay!
So it’s fixed?
I would wait for more confirmation before needing to change your shorts, but yes, that is what they are saying
the subterfuge modifier doesnt get removed
only the SS one
so keep that in mind when you test
Damn I was looking forward to changing my shorts 🙄
sooo i'm about 11.5k sustained over about 8 minutes on a dummy. at 352 with 1 ss. 1 archive 1 thunderous (for lack of a better)
weapons both 345's. no buffs outside poisons
Must be nice to have a thunderous 😞
thunderous was nerfed pretty heavily recently
scent of blood good for ghun?
370 dagger in the back or 340 ss
ST dagger in the back. m+ both work but i'd go 370 dagger with 2 ss other pieces
just now
3 garrotes and AA x 4 garrotes and AA

3xSS
@warm geode Doesnt the bug change the ticking damage numbers? Did they just fix that visual thing but not the actual bug lol?
so what trait are we supposed to now?
u saw a 10k crit at start, and when u put the 4º garrote only crit for 4k
4th garrote cut your dot's in half
Bruno, did you attack a different dummy? That looked like you overwrote on the same one
still higher than the 4th garrote since they keep subterfuge. but don't get ss
false alarm then
you'd have 5k base on 3 targets with 1kish on the 4th
2k is jsut the 80% bonus of sub 😦
@paper aspen i attacked a diferent one, and on your video, shows the still a bug
fix the bug blizzard : (
i wish they'd fix it too. not being able to drop a 4th garrote is painful for trash
sry@paper aspen i thougth the was the same, was @still hinge video
No worries, just wanted to make sure I understood what I was seeing correctly
some kind of acknowledgement of the bug by blizzard would be great too
@still hinge def not fixed you halved your 3 empowered
blizz . . . . acknowledge they fucked something up? . . . . that doesn't happen unless the forums burn it into the ground several times over
4sec on the video, first dummy 10k crit, and after 4º garrote, the max crit is 4.5k ,
yeah @final stone i see it now 😦 sucks still.
i know riiip
they change something, but is not fixed
cuz, with 4, u see a diference between the first 3 and the 4º
Yeah @glad shuttle its still bugged
yeah the 3 keep the subtefuge but lose SS
so still not worth to garrote a 4th time. gg
i only got 1 SS. so i only get 3k's 😦 which go down to 2k's with just sub. . . .
blizz got their best uzbeki developers on the case
1ss might be viable to just do 4 garrotes. less for the dmg and more the immediate energy regen allowing you to step into the full AoE quicker . . . . . i'm not sure
1 SS is prob not worth it if you have a 370
the one thing the i want to know is why Twist the Knife is simming higher for me one this
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iGLhXGf1W9ahJd6PfPq89H
that with SS?
Quick question, do you guys use toxic blade on cd or hold it for special stuff?
I'm running 1 SS just for the extra CP on opener
i sim high with 2 DD and 1 Arc. But still pref SS
quick answer, read the guide
on cd. though occasionally i'll hold it for about 20-30 energy to keep envenom and 2 mutilates
i have read it, and it sy use it on cd but isnt shown in the rotation, thats why im asking
ty
the rotation is a priority system
keep up both dots. envenom when you can (without overbuffing itself). and toxic blade on cd
1 SS to feel not clunky.
holding it if vendetta is sub 5 seconds isn't a bad idea though. 25 second cd within vendetta's 20 second duration . . .
@warm geode I dont understand the question. Twist the knife is simming higher than another LM is all
LM , archiev and SS
i like keeping poison for the start of vendeta (or within the first 10 seconds or so)
right now the best thing we do is just roll with whatever blizzard graces us with, because grinding to get specific traits only for them to get nerfed next week is not fun at all
when do you start using crimson tempest, the guide states "cleave" situations, does it mean it is worth using it at two targets
m+, zul, (possibly zek'voz)
any place where you'll get consistent usage of the AoE
as you lose the ST dmg of bomb
i personally use it at 3+ targets
as bomb also has decent AoE itself, i'd say consistent 3+
but how many targets do i need to hit for it to be worth casting instead of rupture and envenom
@warm geode I dont see the SS in ur sim, just Scent of Blood
hummm, let me redo prob miss, i have one .-.
like i said 3+ targets, keep ct up and cast rupture and envenom inbetween
well if your in an AoE Kyol you'll also be using a lot more knife throws for energy. so keeping up 2-3 ruptures, 2-3 garrotes, tempest, and envenoms
becomes possible
not knife throw
fan of knives
1 SS is pretty bad now according to Bloodmallet/Herodamage
okay thx
treat it as any situ;ation where you can maintain rupture on 3 targets to be fine. since one cast every 12 seconds isn't a big deal. you need to hold rupture on 3 targets. that's 3 casts every 20-24 seconds. garrote is 1 every 6. (9 if you only want it on 2 targets). crimson tempest is once every 12.
I'm using that right now as an experiment and i can verify
it definitely feels shitty
the garrotes and ruptures through fan of knives + poison will generate so much energy you're in spam mode at that point
and i'll only keep garrote on 1-2 targets for energy, as the dps from poison + fan + envenom adds up so fast. that if i'm not overcapping on energy, i won't worry about another garrote
you have 5-6 seconds of envenom buff. so you want envenom every 2-3 finishers to maintain the high poison appliction through fan
apply others as needed
yeah sometimes i have a hard time keeping the ruptures rolling when fan of knives does not crit
that's how i do it atleast
https://clips.twitch.tv/YummyPuzzledBunnyKAPOW
funny ass clip, just wanted to share 😆
thanks for the info 😃
just use another fan
2-3 fans is enough for 5 cp generally
otherwise your crit needs a boost
Hey guys, anyone able to analyze log ? I don't see exactly the mistakes I make, and I don't think the time kill of the boss would improve THAT much
( Moushi is my nickname )
does it matter much what enchant is in what hand? i just replaced my offhand but now i'm putting the dagger that was my MH into the OH
don't want to have to spend the extra 4k to put the right enchants on both
@strange python i read a couple of times, that it does not matter
gotcha thank you
wortyh macroing galecallerboons to SHD and SoD?
worth macroing my whole rotation so i dont have to think?
@arctic isle i'd like that 😦
lol
@tribal sand wait what ? isnt there supposed to be a system that prevents that lol
raidbot is alredy updated with the "balance" from today?
He is thinking of the Weekly Cache Azerite Armor BLP.
Doesn't stop you from getting 10 rings in a row though.

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.
@gleaming kelp no data in your log
@warm geode says it is updated with 25th hotfixes
ty
@gleaming kelp kill time could definetely improve that parse
Most kills are around 2 minutes 30 seconds
Yours is 3 minutes and 45 seconds
Is shrouded mantel a better tier 3 trait than the bubble

i found it
Not sure what the problem people have with Azerite gear is. This is my third week in a row getting a 385 piece I wish I would get like a weapon or something.
they buffed Shrouded @old mason
should be good
@calm grail ive gotten 2 385 shoulders with shit traits
i wish i could get something else .
i've been lucky so far and gotten 2 azerite pieces with SS and a dagger this week with crit / vers from my chests
I got shoulders with double dose today. Sucks for m+ but should be good for red
Raid*
The Azerite system is just so fucked
but i know the time is coming soon to get shitty gear i can't use once i start regularly running 10s
having big DPS upgrades locked behind a weekly cache is stupid
add on top of the AP wall
ap wall?
your neck level.
no i mean where is the wall
Once you hit like 22 or 3
their justification is that you only get once chance at a piece from raid loot a week, but almost all of the stuff from the raid sucks compared to what you can get from a 10 chest
Yeah just the average player probably isn't 21+
if u play at least an hour a day u would easily be 21+
really? i started my rogue 2-3 weeks after launch and mine is 20, having only really done emmissaries and champions WQs
Caches every 3 days and raid.
I do run my mission board constantly though because I have nothing else to use the resources on
i haven't farmed at all and it'll be 21 today, i feel like if you've played that character since launch you should easily be 23
haven't done island expos or did mass item turn in for like 1-2 levels like most people did before WFs either
tbh I only checked this channel to see which lucky bastard got titanforged daggers or gale callers but seems no one got lucky
yea my neck is 22 and ive done 3 m+ total and only do the emissary once a day nothing else
guys can u see logs if i post link?
I haven’t done a world quest for maybe 3 weeks, no expeditions, no mission board and I’m at 19
Someone earlier today got a galecallers
how only 3 lol
yea my guily got a 390 galecallers
just one per week for the chest?
guildy*
i got a deadshot chest 4Head
guys tell me why I suck https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/8KrzDQV4pqWbBwhy/#fight=last&type=damage-done
I had one then got rid of it like a dumbass
I got 385 kings rest trinket
Cause I ended up with 360/355 lol
i see 23% garrote uptime and 28% rupture uptime, but 72% poison uptime
your melee did more damage than your rupture did, that might be a problem
@prisma perch
what should I focus?
getting x3 ruptures out
i'm trying to check if this has boss logs so i can see how you did on bosses
since this says the whole dungeon, you can't always get every rupture out in the whole place, but still your dps should be higher
You must be super energy starved too
@prisma perch always open on mobs with garrote > tab garrote > tab garrote
don't use a 4th one
I'd suggest running crimson tempest too, but that might not be everyone's suggestion so your milage may vary
@daring imp I do
your garrote damage would've been much higher
truly
atleast ~30% of your damage doing that
Usually I see 75 uptime on my garrote and half the time I don't cast it outside my initial stealth on trash
you might be applying garrote a 4th time w/o noticing, dunno
or outside subterfuge window while the ones from subterfuge are still up
that's the biggest improvement you'd have i guess
specially because you have 2x SS
i dont run islands, only raid and do one or two m+ a week
im neck 21 almost 22
i fucking hate that stupid neck and refuse to do anything associated with it
@daring imp So you say for my add dps 3 trash garrotes
ok i found to where you can look at specific damage to a boss and your rupture is doing the least damage each fight
are you casting them not at 5 points and forgetting ro refresh?
well that log you linked is for overall dps, isn't it?
poison
poison bomb is doing more than his ruptures
Madness
doesn't look right
xD
oh
i was curious
how do you log M+?
i mean
i live logged one
but nothing happened
it counted as all trash fights
I am using Loggerhead
i do have one of those
whats that
it asks you at the entrance if you want to log the instance
does it live log?
didnt try it on live yet
You seem to be wasting a lot of combo points too, spend at 4 (5 with DS) unless you're garroting something
I am using the WA from Luxthos are these good?

https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
those are mostly personal preference
i enjoy very much the combo points from afenar's for example
I use Afenars
yeah afenars is pretty nice
So my focus is using more ruptures at 5 combo points, only using at 4-5
i can definitely say that by your garrote dmg you are either canceling the emp garrote's buff or you're jsut not using garrote enough
100% promise most people are canceling empowered garrote
you mean I refresh Garrote too early?
yeah
Be careful not to overwrite or cast a 4th garrote when you have 3x subterfuge empowered ones up - on a trash pack something like garrote > garrote > garrote > rupture > TB > FoK into ruptures (assuming 3+)
you either don't let the empowered ones end their duration
when is a good time to refresh garrote>
G R G Opener right>?
from opening
But I'd recommend CT and exsang which changes that
so let it go its full duration?
Only in singly target
ah kk
then rupture or CT if you use ct
and fok spam rupture
for bosses you're right, GRG >>>
@scenic raptor let them fully fall off yes
GRGVMRE
reeeeeeeee
so in raid is this right? ... GRGVenTBEnvMuti(refresh G and rupture if run out=? and then just keeping DOTS up?
is Raidbots updated with the latest changes to AZ traits?
No, no envenom
@nova gorge ok thank you
In raid you probably don't want ss, but if it's what you've got
single target, yes @prisma perch
So if you don't have SS on any pieces, is Subt worse than the other talents in the row?
We init boiz
@cerulean walrus sim it.
SB 
just in time, right?
@cerulean walrus MA sims better without SS for me
@my problem is then to know how many envenom I can pass through before I have to refresh dots

@prisma perch the low damage you did is mostly because of your trash packs damage
on bosses there's no rocket science
@prisma perch in the opener you can generally fit 3 with the vendetta Regen
Thanks @stuck shuttle
OH yes!! if my Vendetta is up in midfight how do I use it?
Hi, I’m hoping someone has some time to help me out with logs? I want to figure out how to squeeze more damage out. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/N3chrCnwfWVyJ2Yp/
@prisma perch on CD
i think he meant what to use within the window
@strange python you should run CT for that fight
Obviously you want to align cooldowns if you can but if not it's not a big deal
optimally you want to at the least use vanish then cast an empowered garrote
and don't refresh it on accident
Go outlaw for that fight
if vanish is up just overwrite the normal garrote for an empowered one?
Yes
yes even if you have at least 1 SS it's worth
@strange python switching faster and refreshing dots
nothing else to use vanish for in a boss fight
the only thing the other rogue did better than you was that and he did +1k dps
besides using it to cheap shot adds
@daring imp switching to the adds faster? And higher dot uptime?
how come on vanish u do double garrote and not garrote rupture garrote like in the opener?
I think to get the full value of combo points aren’t
@cyan frost and pandemic
well the faster the switch the better the uptime you can hold on both ends
unless you're in the middle of refreshing the dot
@daring imp gotcha, just trying to do better damage
Poison Bomb is better then than CT
@strange python if you have SS trait keeping vanish for add spawn is pretty good since they spawn every 2 min
negative poison bomb is garbage
Poison Bomb sims higher for me than CT
@rustic onyx better than pumping it into boss? I’m afraid adds wouldn’t be alive for 24s of vanish garrote
sure. cause the sim doesnt use ct in single
I changed to adds
@strange python no you put it 3 time on 3 different add
Would it be possible for someone to look at my logs bc im trying to figure out what to improve on but not sure where to start https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/fBQGbPkJRNvjVKyn/
@rustic onyx oh so the vanish triple garrote
yes
Like in m+
yes
and if you play iron whire and use it on one of the caster mob you silence it for 6 sec aswell
which is nice
Yeah, i have great weapon but only decent azerite gear. So I’ll switch faster and keep dots up with it
@slender shard which rogue are you
lmao so much misinformation being spread
whats everyone using for azerite traits in M+ and raids, im still using 2XSS and 1X Twist the Knife, cause its on a 370 helm and sims higher for single target then my 3rd SS on a 340
I’m using 2xss and 1xarchibe
is 3x SS still the go to for M+
cuz herodamage says double dose is the best trait now
aside from raid traits
Yes
Coockiememe @daring imp sorry kinda forgot that there was two of us
You restealth every pack
DD is really bad for m+, since youre using FOK on trash
SS is still wild in m+
you garrote x3 even if it overcaps you on cp right
to ensure you get 3 empowered garrotes out
looking at fetid, only dot uptime comes to mind
and kill time greatly affects it
it's 50% bonus dmg on half its hp
Yes you get all 3 out @safe sequoia
is SS still better then Poisoned wire now?
on transitions its impossible ot use i guess but try to cast it on the add that's most likely alive right before he going into the pool
i mean the fight lasted for ~7min and you casted only 11
yea on fetid i gotta run and I let my poisons tick off sadly
thats not a very high uptime
logs at ghuun are a bit hard right? because its mainly running around?
also because people are popping all cds on beam
you go on the last phase w/o any cd
warriors rejoice
xD
extended execute phase 'cuz no one has cds to pop
Thanks for the help @daring imp ! I gotta work on my uptime now
I just also downloaded Weak Auras, any that you recommend to use, I've never used it since I just started playing WoW in the prepatch for BFA

hows scent for blood in m+?
good if high ilvl and your SS's are not
Does anyone use Blindside?
are the buffs live in EU?
Poisoned Wire is not very exciting.
Is SS better SB for mythic plus?
3x ss is probably best
Ok cool beans 😉
for m+ specifically with subterfuge, if your tank lets you restealth, in packs of 3-6
is de SS nerf live in EU? or will it come with the reset?
Yeah its been live
sb is live as well.
Yeah just sucks with the bug so hard not to garrotte lol
do you fok with 2 mobs?
The bug is really fucking stupid. Don’t know why they won’t fix it
I always fok
Classic blizz
damn i just changed to double SB and it got nerfed
I hate myself for asking because i know for a fact its been asked at least 20 times today... is raidbots updated for simming? Before i go crazy into sims?
i guess i will go SB and SS
@hollow stone https://gyazo.com/09fab61710916b8f8d652ae31ec2a193
Thank you kind soul
Why would you go SB > _>"
well untill yesterday it was the best trait to stack
now i fucked myself cause a broke a piece of SS azerite and i only have 1, feels bad man
Item restore bruva
lets hope for a 370 SS azerite piece in the M+ chest tomorrow
i will probably get a vers mastery ring
Is poisoned wire going to be relevant with the buff? Probably not right
guys so after the vanish garote...do we let it fall off or re apply at 7sec?
let it fall off
do we know if simc nightly included azerite changes?
ok thanks @ionic charm
So Double dose is bis now right?
I don’t think poisoned wire would be bis but it’d probably be decent
so 360ilvl is this appropriate for my ilvl https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rFwW8dsWQPcLGr2oLV3W4D
Haven't had a chance to Sim im curious if my 370 with pw is better than 355 ss
If it’s 1 ss then it might be
stronger than deadshot for outlaw
ss still sims higher than pw for me
Still sims highest for me
13k is bad you should consider rerolling
Can't get any shoulders lol
Jk 😂
I think Ss is fine when i do M+ a still go with 3x's SS and biS weps howlis

SB was never good in raids you can't be on target 100% of the encounter and there's enough movement and dropped targets that the value becomes poopy.
is the garrote bug where you can't reapply out of stealth still a thing
like it unbuffs all your garrotes

Yes
so after a couple more weeks of them religously nerfing our best trait we'll be back to SS, eh?
For raids I mean 😛
as a new rogue, is this SS bug a deal breaker?
Who needs sharpened blades https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fCY3dHM3fNFd8bemm7Ea1d
The bug is not a deal breaker... it's not the best trait anymore though... so there are better options for raid ST at least... for M+ it's still really really good
373?fuck
xD
bout to drop my last SS trait for my raid setup at least 😦
SS isn't going to win in raids unless you have a higher item level.
but you keep 1 ss for the combo points arent you=?
I do
simming higher for me with 0 ss and toxic blade
just got a 385 DD chest to replace a 370 SS chest
I sim like 16.2k with raid trait
whats everyones azerite heart level?
23
25
23 is low tbh
25 wow
Ppl in my guild are 26-27
just doing only wqs, and the weekly islands. Nothing special
weekly islands? where do uget the quest for that?
like i know how to queue up but is there any quest for bonus azerite?
am i correct to say the new buff to poison wire is not in raidbots yet? still shows the old values in tooltip
azerite armour is a nightmare i want tier sets again
omg yes
no thanks.
be fine with neither tbh
every week having to get new azerite armour is driving me nuts
I just want titanforging to go away
hey, you know the ss bug? does that apply to subterfuge aswell?

yeah but I don't have any ss traits
"However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains."
I am surprised that no one is complaining about getting new weapons and needing to enchant them > _>
you must have alot of haste
i was chilling with 2 SS traits bam nerf, i gues i wil take 2 SB traits bam nerf and now that do i get?
Guys, can someone explain to me how Rupture (or any DoT for that matter) works regarding stats for application and ticks? Does the agi/haste/crit/mastery matter only for application, only for ticks or both? And/or is there some other criteria to this? Like Master Assasin empowered Rupture/Garrote? (or any other trait, of course)
I get more haste and it gets more important lol
everything is dynamic when it comes to sin except 3 things
garrote snapshots from stealth/subt with SS/subterfuge talents
Bleeds snapshot from stealth with nightstalker talent
exsang snapshots based on current haste
everything else is dynamic, so it gets updated based on current values
@safe matrix Great, thanks 😉
Is anyone else not convinced ct is the play always in big keys?
no
I mean. it works for seli in +15, its fine by me for my shitty keys.
kiting gold.
you do what you want tho.
he plays pb in like 1 zone tyr
kr tyr
as long as you can kill bosses trash dps is most important
Idk the more I play with both PB and HB the more I think it's more dungeon affix specific than everyone says
Is it still worth it to have 1x SS trait for the opener? Or should I drop it entirely
Like siege tyrannical for instance, I think is an HB dungeon
you're p much never going to envenom trash (like 4+ mobs) with CT, yeah? i feel like i spend all my CPs on maintaining rup and CT
Depends on the pack but yes for the most part
i dropped SS completely running laser matrix and archive with double dose
@fiery haven also for m+?
nah M+ i use my SS head my call gear
where does toxic blade go in the opener? i'm used to exsang
It's in the guide
Poison Wire actually seems decent now
man, i got used to the feel of ss quick. dropped it completely and my opener feels so much slower
whats everyone using as their M+ azerite setup?
im running one ss two dd, for raids just triple dd till i get the raid azerite

Shadowstep > Vanish > Sprint > Racial > Garrote is the new Opener
So according to !SS if we're not running SS then we can garrote the world without issue, right?
I think it has to do with Subterfuge no?
Actually nah that thinks confusing ignore me. They need to make it easier to understand like no garrote if already 3 garrote

On Triad in WM -- do we spread garrote/rupture to the non-active sisters for energy regen?
@compact bolt yes
Thought so, thank you Ongbak
its hard to sim SS for M+
does it apply 2 or 3 SS
40* secs
for example, just looking at one piece, my 355 laser matrix is simming 500 odd dps more than my 355 chest with SS
only applies 2
kinda confusing
instead of 3
!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.
@fresh coyote that's because it's taking into account reorigination array, no?
yeah you can, its under the buffs im pretty sure
i think one of the last lines of optional buffs are the array stacks
otherwise, is it safe to go with 3x SS for M+ regardless of ilvl?
yes
coz I'll have to go down to 340
some rare cases a very high scent of blood can be worth it
both fortified and tyran?
for M+ with 1x SS, Toxic Blade or Exsang? or sim 3 target Patchwekr and go with that?
but 3x SS are braindead great for m+
has there been a consolidated view on the aza changes?
whats good now has anything changed ect
3x SS with exang for M+, got it
i do run them regardless of weekly affixes, they perform GREAT anywhere
CT might be more dependant if everyone on your group has aoe burst all the time or not
but ct is also great for m+
how should I decide between Exsang and TB for M+?
does a 2nd trait of AotT add any additional value other than the raw agi?

@daring imp u still use SS after nerf?
i see a lot of rogues running eb in M+ and was wondering why
Ss still top for m+
whats eb
elaborate planning
is there a a good way to track the 3s of suberfuge with a WA?
ah it's a buff? ok
I wonder if MP will take over once we hit higher stat numbers
It already sims similar to ep for some people
is tiny electromental bugged?
i just cant believe its better than the on-use vers trinket
when i did a boss with it, it seemed really bad dmg wise
i think it got buffed like 2 weeks ago, not sure though
the proc seemed to do ~100dps or so
im 99% sure frenetic corpuscle is still bugged
Everyone always says sim, but my SS pieces are 340 340 355. Otherwise I have 385 370 385 pieces with garbage traits. the higher ilvl still sim higher though for me (even on bloodmallet and hero it lists the worst 385/370 traits being higher than our best 340’s). My tank wants me to use the higher pieces for the additional stam/survivability I’ll have for higher keys, but I tell him how messed up our traits vs ilvl for Azerite pieces are right now. Anybody forgo 340 SS’s for m+ for 385 pieces with garbage traits? By garbage they have fan of blades lol
I feel like the minimum m+ should be 2x Ss and then your best high ilvl piece that would work for the situation. Like this week I’m finding a lot of success running 2x 340 helm and chest SS and then a scent of blood shoulder 385.
Strictly m+ otherwise sim for raid. It’s hard to sim for m+ cause it’s so situational. But you know you’ll consistently be pulling packs so the 2 ss traits works well. If you have 3 run the three. But on tyrannical I’ve been running 2 with the scent of blood trait.
@gentle hornet i mean, if the survivability was an issue, i'd do that, but it never was for me as a rogue
does SS stack anymore?
Use self heal more. Take elusiveness. Pop evasion if you pull something you’re not supposed to. Use tricks to not pull off tank. There’s a lot in your kit for surviving @gentle hornet
thx
5k-10k health shouldn’t be a huge factor
get that weak aura that has all the trash mob mechanics in it, helped me a lot
04/09: Fixxed LUA Errors plus a few changes(most noticeable Brew buffs on 2nd Boss in Freehold which almost no one even knew about) 28/08: Made a few Updates
that one
outlaw or ass for zek'voz
With feelycraft doing 6 m9-10 last week, using 385 w shit trait, 1x 340 ss, 1x 355 ss was best for me
they're pulling in like 30
Based on dmg compared to my group running w the same group every time
And my 340 and 355 both replaced 370s. One being archive
Outlaw is super good assuming youre talking m zekvoz
What do you guys think about Scent of Blood vs Bloodrite for M+. I had to get rid of my 3rd SS today due to a 60 ilvl increase
@unborn rampart exang in M+
over tb. it feeds energy on from the poison ticks as well.
and we dont pump envenoms in aoe packs. so TB is pretty shitty
scent of blood high ilvl is great
gotta stack crit if you want it to be great.
else you will dry up like a prune trying to get cps
Things like bloodmallet show SS lower than say Double Dose. SS still in game/practice the way to go?
For M+ sure.
@daring imp That was my thought all though I could in theory keep haste up
I personally use scent of blood for m+. On higher keys where you can apply a lot of raptures its insane
1x ss 340 and 2x 370 scent of blood
Id love to keep SS 3x but with how difficult it is to get AZ pieces
did i win? xd
grats
Lul
anyone know if sim takes into account having reorigination array buff ?
yes
you can set that
oh i see it! Thanks, it was in the extra hidden options
quick question
does it matter what hand you have your higher ilevel dagger in? I have a 370 and a 345, should i have the 370 in main hand or?
main hand stronkest dagger
ok thanks
so is there any reason to use a poison other than deadly poison?
pvp?
anyone know if the titan archives stacks?
the azerite trait
because when i watch the numbers it seems that it isn't stacking
i.e. if you have two of the same trait, it should be +24 archive primary stat bonus per stack
Archive stacks. Array does not
I made it to where crit is better 😫
There is no reason to use a poison that isnt deadly (and crippling)
Its one of, if not the, highest dmging "ability" we have
also anyone have a good mod that will track bleeds on multiple targets?
Your choice of Nameplate addon.
where can we find updated az traits? Bloodmallet update yet?
question
if i envenom one target
does the dmg increase over all my poisoned targets
or just the primary
@tranquil dust env is only a buff for your weapon poisons to apply better. it is a buff on you.
so if you env, fok, then you have an increased chance to apply on all targets
unless ur a noobe
right
then it just doesnt work
u running exsang ?
yeah
i see
ah icic
is there any updated guide for as?
lads.
isnt it funny that poison wire doesnt say anything about stacking to 2.
do we just use poisoned knife w/ sharpened blades at 30 stacks?
i put on 2p20 and was hoping for ggggggggg to stack like 10
Quick q on crimson tempest lads, do you ever use it on single target or only if theres 2+ or eomething? whats the general rule?
wait
Not on ST
thats with SS or no
i have 2 ss
cos doesnt it get bugged then?
Does poison wire stack 2 times noobe?
2+ only. and with low mob count, just for uptime. if you have a bazillion mobs you can almost spam it.
ye
nice, thanks
2 charges of Mut crit.
2 garrotes 2 charges
helps the rotation a bit, but still awful synergy with Subterfuge ss and with MA
Hmm
@river quarry start planning to use at 28/29. it stacks pretty fast at times.
@storm siren depends. Kings rest tyr. might use Pb.

Is double dose the general bis trait now?
im running DD x 2 right now
someone earlier said SS sims wrong, does it sim higher than it should be or lower?
its right
SS just op in m+
is there a certain energy we should pool before TB
do we even pool before it?
or just use on cd
does toxic blade buff ur poisoned knife when u run a sharpened?
SIN BFA GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <-- SIN GUIDE HERE
sharpened is sick actually
anyone know what best traits to aim for pvp?
Can somebody help me find how I did so poorly on Vectis? I'm Family in this log: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/qzRb1hQHGgyD76w8/#fight=last&view=rankings
pls hurt me
https://wowanalyzer.com/report/qzRb1hQHGgyD76w8/22-Heroic+Vectis+-+Kill+(5:52)/16-Family - no expert by any means but this might be a good starting point
it kinda throws three moot points
energy cap bc liquefy
toxic blade cast same reason
you double garrote off vanish
so you waste one cp
People still run with Shrouded Suffocation?
Still seems like its the goto outerring for both singletarget and multi.. Feelsbadman. I dont like the playstyle of it at all 😦
I like it and it still sims best for me
i'm getting smashed by a rogue in 340 triple ss
is poisoned wire good now
i started using it and i like it a lot
sharpened blades is fun 😃
any1 else getting a bug where you cant shadowstep cuz it says ur mounted?
Exsanguinate or Toxic Blade?
most people get more dmg out of tb now
alright
whats happening with poison wire now, still useless?
master asasin sims me better, any opener or sub is go to 🤔 ?
anyone fiddled around with timewalking sets for bfa?
the new stat squish seems to have changed a lot
and no idea if old socket gear beats azerite pieces or not
370 frenetic corp, or 355 construct, im pretty behind on haste so im thinking of using the construct still
Yo does anyone use the loaded dice trinket? I'm running with Fathoms, and a 325 Galecallers but I recently got a 350 loaded dice. It only sims slightly higher than the Galecallers, but I feel like it's way too rng and my opener/rotation isn't as as good without Galecallers. Stick with the Galecallers?
did the azerite trait rankings get shifted with the recent nerfs/buffs?
What is the stance on master poisoner vs elaborate planning?
dont they sim almost exactly the same with elaborate planning being a bit higher but requiring more work
sharpened blades still simming best for me. I actually really dont like the trait
shrouded suff still any good?
for M+ ya
for m+ yes
gotcha gotcha 3 stack or 2 ?
What is the TW cache reward... normal piece of gear?
yeah thats what im deciding ^^
Am I doing anything obviously wrong I feel I should be outdamaging outlaw on ST fights but the other rogue in my guild usually does more than me
Thank ya
@true rapids a big thing i saw is you are overwriting your empowered garotte with a regular garotte and one of your vanishes you didnt use garrote
Do I clip it with regular timer at like 5.4 or as close to 1 as possible with empowered?
hi guys, quick question, does shadowmeld count as a vanish? I mean since it puts me out of combat, can i stealth again then activate subterfuge again? I'm currently a velf, but I'm leaning towards race changing to nelf
Depends on the situation. But im horde so dont listen to me
Smeld will not take you out of combat on a boss, for example
I think he meant meld into stealth
yep
Meld to drop combat stealth for subt
finally got myself a galecallers boon, im assuming i want to line it up with my first vendetta and then just use it on cd from then on?
sorry, was thinking of butter
Melt into stealth is a good band name
Yeah hex. Itll line up for your vends if you use w first vend and on cd
If you run exsang. Pop it before that
So yes. Delay 2nd exsang
Every xsang really
i thought poison buiild was the better option?
is exang good again?
since the SS nerf?
exsang is fun
exang is damn fun, what azerite pieces should i target?
Depends on the content
for raids?
For st raid you want 1 archive and 2 dd based on this week's az traits :p
But sim it cause thats for equal ilvl gear
Anyone try poisoned wire yet?
when does exang sim higher? toxic blade is still higher for me at 368ilvl and 3 SS traits
Sometimes
On shorter fights
Its not like exsang gets better the better gear you have. They're both pretty equal
Depends on your gear
whats best to take for patchwerk fights now SS or DD
wdf is dd?
double dose
oh
i have 1x lazer, 1 archive, 1x sharpendblades as my bis atm
i only think the sharpened blades is good cuz 385 piece
is there a cap of haste we need to look out for? or just get as much as possible?
ill use dagger in the back but mine 385 too hit alot
what's everyone running for zul?
weekly
anyways since i started, i mean how many minutes game is off
i'm on NA, you must be talking about EU
yep
what is best trait for single target raids now?
DD
sick
found it
tho i could be wrong
atal and shrine
going of memory
is it worth it to stack 3?
.does hast effect ticks of PB
is a socket better than 5 ilvl?
just got a uldir chest should i take archive or SS?
Socket is worth around 15ilvls
even for weapon?
would u rather upgrade ur weapon for 5 ilvls or peice of gear for 10 ilvls?
What do you guys use for gear comparison in game? I've been using pawn which was giving preference to a ring with worse stats (as per my weighting) but with a socket. When I ran the numbers manually it never came out better even if I'd have swapped the haste for Agi. Also, it keeps recommending the haste gems even though I dont currently have an agi one equipped and agi has higher weighting at the moment.
Im doin a confuse
@cyan frost is the weapon for MH or OH?
if it's identical to the current one Im using, I'd takea 5 ilvl MH upgrade over a 10 ilvl gear upgrade, depending on the stats.
at the end of the day though, ilvl doesnt really mean what blizzard wants it to mean, and you should just always do a gear compare sim
We running CT this week or PB for bosses?
CT on everything but atal, kr, temple and
^
what do you guys think, 370 archive or 340 SS for m+? I run 3 ss and this would bump it down to 2
Something else but cant remembrr
Check Herodamage
2 SS is still pretty strong and archive would potentially make it stronger
sorry, meant for m+ as well
And exsang vs tb for M+ is just a question of simming?
Honestly I'd go the 370 with archive and 2 x SS archive will make the magnitude of all abilities stronger along with the flat increase to agi it would likely more than cover your thoroughput decrease from having one less SS
everything is a question of simming tbh
except for your rotation and timing
another benefit to simming is that you it is objective
Is that it's objective***
sweet jesus
👌
I would like this all the time please
Why do i see alot of good assa rogues have dark moon fathom trinket instead of some other one that i can see on bloodmallet sims better?
its very rare to find a trinket that sims better than DMF
more reliable?
they all like 380+
any trinket that sims better then fathoms needs to be like 380 or higher
some 370 ones are better in aoe ^^
i have 380 galecaller but sux when tnak moves boss just ever so slightly out of the range feelsbadman
You mean like they do the moment you drop it every time? :^)
got it from weekly cache u take what u can my friend, rng isnt so nice most of the time
is thta ur phone number?
yea sure
ill call u
👍
hey, i just met you. this is crazy
I love such question. People asume that you can get any item you want in game but you choose to stick to one because of a mysterios reason
tbf, if you farm m+ 24/7 like most top rogues do...you probably have whatever trinket you want.
i wish i could farm M+ 24/7
top rogues are on it. top. rogues.
dude
I'd neck myself if I did M+ all day.
No man, if you watch some of them stream you can taste their tears
well
m+ is probably one of the few things left there's no way I'd burn myself out doing keys 24/7 lol
he asked about top rogues and their trinkets
i'm top 100 in midwest central class aaa division
never saidanyone here is top rogue : /
@thick jacinth you say that now, but when you run 4 Keys and all you get is artifact power things change
if the AP reward was more I wouldn't care
Just got harlans loaded dice from M10, still sims less then fathoms. RIP
lmao i was just checking if my label was limited to the sub o nly channel
but seeing as today happened RIP SUB 2018
Yeah, the investment is paying off for sure. Wish someone had gotten a piece they could've used though
Looking at the bloodmallet things for azerite traits, are the numbers current for like sharpened blade?
is it good to have atleast 1 ss trait for the cp bonus?
Stay off from drugs,kids 😂
but i need my drugs
So darkmoon: fathoms is like 100k on my server, which is pretty much all my remaining gold. Is it worth it in the long run, or should I just keep working on mythic+s for gale?
my flaks and pre pot drugs
you don't have a gale already from grinding thousands of them?
Depends, do you have the type of luck where when you pick something up, it gets nerfed?
If so. Do us a favor and don't.
Ive only grinded out like 3 SoS so far, so no gale :p And pretty sure I don't have that luck
hello everyone, is shrouded still good for M+?
It's been so strong for so long. Might want to invest, it's a very solid trinket
so before anyone says sim yourself, its just a simple question. i have 325 ilvl shoulders with shrouded suffocation, but just got lfr 340 shoulders with scent of blood. do i use the lfr 340's or stick with the 325's?
