signal summit
#

more add dmg

daring imp
#

you sure?

#

i mean

#

like sin has?

signal summit
#

but will lose some on boss

stoic pelican
#

another noob question: How can I maximize Exsan?

placid elbow
#

Sub actually has pretty good add dmg

daring imp
#

no i don't mean add dmg, i mean constant target switching

signal summit
#

ye sub add dmg is really strong

placid elbow
#

probably better than Sin lol

signal summit
#

its not constant target switching on fetid

unreal coyote
#

sub has more pitfalls

#

no downtime dmg

daring imp
#

^

unreal coyote
#

its just inferior without bing far ahead

#

on st

#

there is no reason to play it

#

outside cheese like zul

hollow stone
#

Yes. You can get 3 env in a tb with all the buffsesea

hollow cloak
#

how i make macro for mouseover and target to garrote

hollow stone
#

You could probably get 4 w mfd. but thats not worth :p

daring imp
#

/cast [@mouseover] Garrote ?

#

that's the one i used to use in legion with eye of conquest

hollow stone
#

Theres a longer mouseover chain if you want mouseover or target. I dont have it available tho

stoic pelican
#

which one scale more with wep? sub or assa? the problem is that I got 2x350ilvl daggers but my ilvl is 371.

hollow stone
#

Sub historically benefits more from weapon dmg

#

Sin benefits more from secondaries

stoic pelican
#

Thank you

lone junco
#

ugh. I logged out in pvp gear. my sim is busted

odd sluice
#

(M+) Is it worth dropping a 340 SS piece for 385 SB ? the other traits are both SS

lone junco
#

i usually get a /simc and copy to a text file before work, so i can fuck around with raidbots.

orchid berry
#

what do I use my vanish for, double garrot or on a rupture? (got 1x ss)

hollow stone
#

Probably not @odd sluice

lone junco
#

@odd sluice sim 6T patchwerk 40s. no buffs. see how it turns out.

daring imp
#

which other trait the 385 sb has

lone junco
#

and then know that its not even using the 3rd garrote

odd sluice
#

@daring imp Meticulous Scheming

charred oar
#

can someone explain to me what the big deal is of SS when you can only activate it once per fight (opener) and then maybe 1-2 more times after vanish

#

or does the damage buff apply to all garrotes and not just the ones casted from stealth

hollow stone
#

Actually. With tyrannical week, the 385 sb is prob better than a 340 ss if youre using 2 other ss pieces already

daring imp
#

if it were scent of blood, it might would've been worth it @odd sluice

hollow stone
#

The big deal is for m+

daring imp
#

@charred oar it is great for m+ because of restealths between trash packs

charred oar
#

yeah but people still say 2z ss + 1 archive for udir

#

and i dont get that

#

2x*

daring imp
#

like, "garrote being your overall 1/3rd of your damage" great

hollow stone
#

Those people are dumb or dont have a better option

daring imp
#

if you mean for RAIDING

onyx wind
#

what

charred oar
#

so whats the preferable setup for raiding

daring imp
#

SS is not the top pick anymore

#

you should sim yourself to be honest

#

depends too much on ilvl

onyx wind
#

1x array 2x dd

#

no

daring imp
#

but you want atleast ONE reorigination array piece

onyx wind
#

hes asking for the preferable setup

hollow stone
#

In perfect t22 gear, 1x archive 2x dd is best

daring imp
#

oh well

#

good luck getting those then @_@"

onyx wind
#

just have that copy pasted

#

1x array 2x dd

strange python
#

What is dd?

daring imp
#

double dose

high siren
#

double dose

onyx wind
#

1x array 2x double dose

#

ok i changed it

strange python
#

Oh right, I don't have the game in English so ^^

#

Thanks tho

fossil agate
#

Is there even one double dose out of raid? Xd

onyx wind
#

no

high siren
#

rule #1 when youre fighting zombies

lone junco
#

i assume MP pumps the DD hit?

#

and then ontop of TB

#

and mastery

high siren
#

no, it’s rule #2 actually

onyx wind
#

I think haste is still preferred even with DD

lone junco
#

I mean scaling over time.

hollow stone
#

I dont think mp would effect it with new mp. Id have to check tho

onyx wind
#

yeah dont think it works either

#

but it might, who knows

daring imp
#

i mean, even with dd, our top dmg is still melee, garrote, rup, envenom

#

so mp wouldn't do much for those four

onyx wind
#

^

daring imp
#

ep does tho

lone junco
#

i had 105% haste in timewalk. and SS is pretty awesome. but only 2min intervals

onyx wind
#

105 how

lone junco
#

If you had high Mastery would dd pump.

#

Could probably see 150% if you cheesed

i like to see absurd multipliers in action.

spiral furnace
#

Boys ... What are the go2 Traits for M+ now? I have no clue how to sim for it

golden mulch
#

sooo my guilde mate got 3rd week in a row BiS SS 385 azerite item he does almost no keys and doesnt raid... almost ready to quit wow again.
its this sort of "gamedesign" that makes everyone else but super casual leave.

proven pumice
#

Went from gray and green parses to blue, a green, and a purple parse last night. Feels good, friends.

daring imp
#

SS's and maybe a high ilvl scent of blood

#

but mostly SS's for m+

hybrid mural
#

DD good now? RIP got 385 azerite shoulders with it, has to get nerfed just like SB did a week after getting 385 helm with it. xd ionWOAH

spiral furnace
#

2 SS 1 Scent is good? and for rading 1 SS 1 Scent 1 Archive? (dont have pewmatrix)

daring imp
#

@hybrid mural hell no lul

grand burrow
#

3x SS or 2x SS 1 Dagger in the back for m+?

vapid oracle
#

Scent is good fort week for M+

golden mulch
#

this game sucks so much. its unreal 3x 385 SS item in a row just wow....

vapid oracle
#

Besides that it doesn’t have much use imo

daring imp
#

@spiral furnace you asked for m+, m+ is a bit harder to sim compared to raiding, generally it's 3x SS, if you have high ilvl SS that's even better, but a high ilvl scent of blood is okay instead of a 340 ss too

placid elbow
#

I'm going to mess with Master Assassin and no SS to see what life is like lol

knotty cedar
#

guys fyi when u join a timewalking ur poisons are removed u have to reapoply lol i spent most of the dungeon wondering why my damage is bad and energy starved

spiral furnace
#

@daring imp got 2* 340 SS 1* 385 Scent

fossil agate
#

Just do 3-5target patchwerk sims for trash idk

spiral furnace
#

@daring imp I am very confused with the changes going for rogue. I am playing a different spec every few days

odd sluice
#

thx guys 45ilvl higher and its not an upgrade πŸ˜„

spiral furnace
#

And I am also working full time so its hard to stay up2date πŸ˜„

quaint sequoia
#

is raidbots updated with latest trait nerfs?

daring imp
#

keep ct debuff* up and spread ruptures like your life depends on it

fossil agate
#

Welcome to BFA hahaha

spiral furnace
#

CT for Tyrannical?

high siren
#

depends

hybrid mural
#

For real, it did some alright damage last night on the tank and spank bosses last night. I think it was about 4% of my damage on MOTHER with being in the second half of transitions each time. DD that is, and that's with only 1

high siren
#

if big pulls allowed, then yes

daring imp
#

i always pick ct regardless of weekly affixes, clearing trash is always a pain regardless of the week, i just get mad if the tank starts pulling too slowly because i'd be doing such a higher dmg

spiral furnace
#

Do I even use CT for ST or simply stick to standard rotation?

daring imp
#

don't touch ct on st rotation

spiral furnace
#

k

#

2+ targets i guess?

edgy latch
#

does legion legendaries work in timewalking?

daring imp
#

general rule is to use on 3+

#

some argue it's worth it to keep the debuff up in 2 but i never saw the raw math on it

#

@edgy latch they should πŸ˜›

edgy latch
#

can't you just sim it with 2 bosses in raidbots?

daring imp
#

also maybe old tier pieces?

edgy latch
#

the ct, that is

spiral furnace
#

@daring imp thank you senpai

#

@daring imp ahh. and its Heed my Call > Overwhelming Power for M+, right?

daring imp
#

well that i'm not sure

fossil agate
#

I just generally take heed my call in every situation

#

Most encounters will have some form of cleave that it will be just as good

daring imp
#

i only have heed my call on my ss pieces ( didn't drop any from m+ weekly chest or fetid devourer yet )

obsidian oriole
#

getting there

spiral furnace
#

ilvl?

unreal coyote

literally

#

in the picture

lol

share the sim with us!

spiral furnace

i just came home from work

sec

kindred abyss
#

yea, why not just link the sim lol

obsidian oriole
#

new to all this simming shit, chill ya beans

daring imp
#

thanks πŸ˜›

obsidian oriole
#

Just a basic sim ran on our guild discord, haven't fiddled with anything tbf

#

so may be off?

daring imp
#

nah i think it's good

cunning needle

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
cunning needle
#

does anyone have a good sharpened blades WA specific string?

daring imp
#

i think fuu made one

fossil agate
#

SB Feelsbadman

daring imp
#

i mean there's others but i was using his when i had sb

cunning needle
#

thanks mate

haughty flame
#

is 3x SS still bis for m_

#

m+*

high siren
#

you're 1 week late

magic zenith
#

I mained do during coldheart bis, I don't really like that interaction

high siren
#

if you still playing with SB

cunning needle
#

i think m+ is 3x ss

#

because you can restealth so much

magic zenith
#

Yeah, still the best way to cleave

haughty flame
#

kk

obsidian oriole
#

running 3x SS for M+ and various shit for raid that simmed out best

haughty flame
#

raidbots takes into consideration that when using LM its in raid ye?

#

as well as archive

obsidian oriole
#

ya

#

you can adjust to multiple stacks of array in the bottom of the sim options, under advanced

#

you can set it from 0-10

rose wharf
#

got my second 385 SS Piece out of the chest and the fetid hc piece, i'm happy

dense yarrow
#

while i still didnt get any azerite pieces

tardy ether
#

385 dd shoulders from weekly, first good item from a m+ chest in over a year

daring imp
#

damn

#

here i am still with with 3x 340 on m+ lul

dense yarrow
#

same ^^

misty hemlock
#

holy shit finally got a 370 azerite piece to replace my 340 one... those +30 ilvl give me a boost of an unbelievable +12 dps. Great system blizz πŸ’―

daring imp
#

all coins rolled on fetid except one yesterday on ghuun

tardy ether
#

does azerite gear have a higher chance in m+ weekly chest? I got azerite pieces on 3 characters this week

daring imp
#

that's just luck

#

1st chest i got azerite

#

the others only shitty pieces

tardy ether
#

guess that's all my luck for this expansion

round wadi
#

Is better pb then CT on zul?

urban storm
#

They said there is BLP on azerite gear in weekly cache

daring imp
#

@round wadi does your group suffer with cleave dmg?

high siren
#

you're playing with exsangue in mm+ with 2 SS ?

round wadi
#

Yea

twin hatch
#

hi bois against how may targets u start to spam fok and not muti and use crimson tempest?

high siren
#

3

daring imp
#

3+

twin hatch
#

ty

#

and is worth to use exang with only 1 trait of ss?

hybrid mural
#

That's a sim yourself question. Just do a quick talent compare of exang vs TB. ezpz.

round wadi
#

Still can't tell if I should use CT on zul

spiral furnace
#

@daring imp TB or Exsang for M+?

haughty flame
#

how can LM be worse than winds

tranquil pivot
#

LM got nerfed?

haughty flame
#

really?

tranquil pivot
#

Last Week, i think.

haughty flame
#

why is it so high on herodmg tho

fallen sandal
#

what's lm ?

haughty flame
#

laser matricks

fallen sandal
#

lasez matrix nvm

fossil agate
#

No trait is going unnerfed

#

LM is showing high because reorigination so its a 1x trait

sharp wharf
#

How do i use vanish when playing master assassin with 1 sharpened blade trait?

misty hemlock
#

i basically have half a bank full of azerite gear just because they'll nerf whatever's best next

#

it's ridiculous

daring imp
#

@spiral furnace i do exsang

haughty flame
#

so im confused

fallen sandal
#

quick question, i'm running 2 archives + 1Lm, using TB build, should i let garrote fade at pull and after using vanish ?

fossil agate
#

ILVL should all that matters- blizz2018

haughty flame
#

should i be using lazer matrix and/or achrive in raid?

fossil agate
#

Archive ideally

gleaming geyser
#

@fallen sandal if you are not running any SS trait, you vanish at 5.4

fallen sandal
#

alright ty

#

and i still use vanish to garrote ?

gleaming geyser
#

Yas

fallen sandal
#

kk πŸ˜ƒ

gleaming geyser
#

Only once tho

haughty flame
#

im using a 340 SS peice just cause of those extra 2 cb

#

im just so used to it

gleaming geyser
#

The opener does feel much better with 1 SS

haughty flame
#

also for SB , how do i fit that into my rotation? just when it hits 30x stacks?

harsh raven
#

Any reason not to go with 2 x haste enchants on daggers?

gritty yoke
#

so whatcha guys thinking about crimson tempest in m+?

harsh raven
#

always top 2 stats?

cunning needle
#

top2 because diminishing returns

gleaming geyser
#

@harsh raven they only stack faster and share a similar ppm

cunning needle
#

i think

gleaming geyser
#

1 haste 1 crit is better

harsh raven
#

ok, thanx buddy

cunning needle
#

and scroll up about 7 hours

haughty flame
#

guys for sharpen blades - do i just use poisoned knife when its 30stacks?

cunning needle
#

for a big discussion about CT in m+

harsh raven
#

atleast I got a haste dagger in the weekly chest

gleaming geyser
#

@gritty yoke infested makes pulling slower and CT only shines above 4+ targets... I personally stick to PB for boss damage

summer yoke
#

@harsh raven lucky!

sinful lotus
#

Anybody using MA here? Do you feel like it makes much of a difference vs Subt?

haughty flame
#

please answer me T_T

little frigate
#

isnt twist the blade good? i mean, it sounds pretty good

cunning needle
#

yes

#

heres a WA to track it

#

by fuu

gleaming geyser
#

@haughty flame 29 stacks+

cunning needle
#

it flashes at 29 stacks

haughty flame
#

ty

gleaming geyser
#

You get up to 2 AAs per swing, you can only stack up to 30. If you do at 29 you avoid overcapping, if you're at 28 next swing brings you to 30

sonic spindle
#

@sinful lotus It feels better for me tbh

gritty yoke
#

god azerite is such a fucking shit system. gib tiersets back pls

vale field
#

no kidding

#

at least we didnt have to farm different tier sets if they got nerfed

lone junco
#

I like the traits. fixed drop is wonky due to ilvl

tranquil pivot
#

did they ever took something back, when something went live?

sinful lotus
#

@sonic spindle it sims higher for me, and logically I can understand why to run it since i have no SS pieces (running 2 DD and 1 SoB) but why does nobody on warcraft logs use it?

lone junco
#

but 3ss in M+ is >> getting stuck with no cleave build ever.

tranquil pivot
#

i mean, is there hope for us, that this system could be taken back?

vale field
#

probably not only hope they improve it

tranquil pivot
#

...

lone junco
#

no way they can back track now. we are in it for 2 yrs.

cunning needle
#

yeah no way theyre getting rid of azerite traits

#

they'll "Fix" it but they wont get rid of it

gleaming geyser
#

Thats like saying legion getting rid of legendaries

desert vault
#

Being gone for months and coming back to trying to understand these traits .... that is the real challenge of returning the game 😐

cunning needle
#

just think of them as major glyphs you need to farm elin

lone junco
#

@desert vault +/- 20% dps depending

#

at least they dont destroy like relics.

cunning needle
#

azerite traits are just a shitty rip off the glyph system

desert vault
#

I guess I'm just going to shoot for one SS, one laser and one titans for funsies!

sonic spindle
#

@sinful lotus that’s a question for someone smarter than me

gleaming geyser
#

45 ilvl vendetta relics ionAddons

lone junco
#

when you want vendetta for raid and PK for M+

inland pivot
#

do you guys usually pool energy for toxic blades or do you when using elaborate planning or do you try to keep tyhat buff up?

lone junco
#

😦

desert vault
#

I've got a 370 with the titan, so I don't know if that is good or not, but sounds fun

sinful lotus
#

@sonic spindle Well thank you for trying. I still can't figure out it πŸ˜ƒ

gleaming geyser
#

Pool for TB, keep env EP during TB yea

inland pivot
#

and does elaborate planning increase bleed dmg like ferals?

gleaming geyser
#

Doesnt snapshot

inland pivot
#

ah

gleaming geyser
#

Dynamic

inland pivot
#

i was trying to keep elab up as much as possible but wasnt pooling enough for toxic blades i guess, thanks for help

gleaming geyser
#

Yea with the amount of crit we have, its hard to keep it up for long

#

So we end up pooling often

inland pivot
#

yeah im stacking haste, at 19% in uldir rn, feels pretty good

sinful lotus
#

So when you guys talk about pooling, imagining you have 15+ secs on your Gar and Rup up, and TB is coming off CD soon. How long do you stand there whacking the target, not hitting Mut's or Env? Or have i completely missed the mark?

gleaming geyser
#

You only need 9 secs of EP and Env for ur TB pooling

#

You can fit that last 3 in the form of a rupture application

#

I try to aim for 100 energy for TB

sinful lotus
#

So you make sure you have 100 Energy before using TB, then you try to get 2x Env in that window?

lone junco
#

BTW.

Dunno if everyone is using top gear from raid bots, but
it is the only way I can keep azerite straight.
it lets you see your entire azerite inventory

what trait combos you have in your bag/bank,. what you could have, what you clearly are missing.

gleaming geyser
#

Yea pickle

strange python
#

fk dude, mp + tb sims higher than eb + exang on 5adds 40s

#

but it feels so bad to play with it

gleaming geyser
#

You clip envenoms so it lasts 9 seconds and reapply rupture for the last 3 seconds of EP

sinful lotus
#

Do you ever cast TB at 5 CP? insead of Env, TB, then having to build back to get 2x Env?

gleaming geyser
#

In your scenario

lone junco
gleaming geyser
#

No I would envenom then TB

sinful lotus
#

Oh so u don't, be default, cast 5CP env during tb>?

#

by*

lone junco
#

4cp+

haughty lily
#

is it still worth it to stack SS since the nerf to it? or should i stack the top traits on blood mallet

lone junco
#

I do 1 archive 2ss. and play exang.

sinful lotus
#

Ok so clip at 4+ cp to keep EP up during the ENV TB window?

lone junco
#

as long as it is within 0.1% dmg, I will use that

gleaming geyser
#

Yes and 4cp+ applies to all

#

Both in and outside of tb

inland pivot
#

yeah you dont wanna overcap combopoints

#

4+

lone junco
#

unless GGG CT!

proven pumice
#

@lone junco my best set up so far has been 1 DitB, 1 archive, and 1 SS with exang or 3xSS in m+

limpid cave
#

Do I always envenom at 4-5 CP if all my other bleeds are accounted for

lone junco
#

@proven pumice same actually. I just didnt like the ditb. so I dropped a tiny smudge for the 2ss

sinful lotus
#

And what about priorities, saying maybe I planned poorly, but my TB is coming off CD and will be off CD several seconds before Gar and Rup, do you risk refreshing Rup and Gar during the Tb window? Do you delay TBm fresh gar and Rup? How do you make that call>?

gleaming geyser
#

Yea and make sure you clip ur envenoms and ep @limpid cave

sinful lotus
#

Or do you refresh gar and Rup even when they're not close to pandemic to avoid that problem entirely?

proven pumice
#

@lone junco do you dislike DitB because of positioning or because you just super like that juicy SS

fossil furnace
#

Any reason to run archive in M+? Or stack 3x SS trumps everything in M+?

gleaming geyser
#

If you have envenom already rolling into TB and need to refresh ur rupture its not a big deal

#

Rupture counts as EP refresh

sinful lotus
#

So is that all that matters? The EP refresh, or is there a specific syngergy between ENV and TB?

#

sorry i can't type for shit today

inland pivot
#

they synergize extremely well

gleaming geyser
#

i mean... TB increases poison damage done and Envenom increases ur application dmg

#

Thats the whole reasoning behind TB Env

sinful lotus
#

So using a Rup during TB technically detracts from that interaction then?

#

but it's not a huge dps loss?

craggy helm
#

it is a huge dps loss

signal summit
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
inland pivot
#

Env buff last 7 sec btw

craggy helm
#

look at rupture's damage compared to envenom

tulip wedge
#

I personally refresh gar/rup to make sure i have my TB window open for env

lone junco
#

@proven pumice i feeeel. like I can focus on a simple rotation. and +/- 0.1% and I ffeeel like the simc apl use of GC w/r/t exang is not best when it comes to sync/desync and boss mechanics.

tulip wedge
#

new to assassin but im consistantly lego parsing with that

sinful lotus
#

@tulip wedge even if they aren't close to pandemic range, say 10+ seconds?

lone junco
#

I think the exang ss rotation can be better than sim, in any condition of a re-sync. from mechanic.

gleaming geyser
#

Losing 1 envenom empowered isnt worth delaying all ur shit and refreshing non optimally all ur shir

#

You're asking very specific cases

proven pumice
#

@lone junco I personally find getting that exsang timing down in a raid encounter to be pretty difficult. But when it works out it feels pretty good, that's for sure.

tulip wedge
#

i mean 10+ seconds i wouldnt refresh because toxic blade is only 9

lone junco
#

1min sync with gc seems to be my jam.

#

I dont have the superior brains to manage the desync.

tacit plaza
#

So many abbreviations it's hard to follow

sinful lotus
#

@gleaming geyser I know my questions are specific and I appreciate the answers πŸ˜ƒ

proven pumice
#

@lone junco would you be willing to look at logs from last night that I have? Maybe just whichever one I think was my best?

craggy helm
#

If I'm not mistaken I believe correct rotation for TB build is:
G > Rup > G > vendetta > TB > mut > envenom > mut > mut > envenom > vanish > G > rupture > G > mut > mut > envenom

And - throughout the fight, i.e., not in opener:
Keep garrotte up, keep rupture up, and use TB on cooldown followed by envenom

tulip wedge
#

ill also say a lot of the time i dont have the capacity to get that rotation perfect during boss fight mechanics

gleaming geyser
#

So yes, in a perfect world, your rupture and garrote is always fresh and TB is ready with 100 energy

craggy helm
#

I'm pretty new to rogue tbh, so let me know if im mistaken

gleaming geyser
#

I remember reading a post somewhere around here about why raidbots has slighty higher simdps compared to simc's desktop app

#

Does anyone remember why

tacit plaza
#

If you have like 6 seconds left till tb is up, but all your bleeds are fresh, and you have full CP, what do you do

sonic spindle
#

I’d probably pool

gleaming geyser
#

If you have low energy, you pool and envenom before TB so its empowered by EP and u have Env rolling

tulip wedge
#

if you have 100% energy, blow the env then mut mut pool

craggy helm
#

sorry, what is pool?

tulip wedge
#

wait

sonic spindle
#

Save energy

craggy helm
#

XD

tacit plaza
#

Envenom empowers TB which empowers envenom?

sinful lotus
#

You only gar Rup Gar if you're running SS traits though right? Otherwise it's just straight up Gar, Mut Rup pop coolies?

gleaming geyser
#

Envenom gets you EP which empowers TB and TB empowers your deadly poison

#

Then TB empowers your subsequent envenoms

tacit plaza
#

Seems like a tight window

craggy helm
#

@sinful lotus I believe the double garrotte reasoning is from the subterfuge talent, not from SS

royal lantern
#

you should always get atleast 2 envenoms out when you use tb

tulip wedge
#

yeah you dont pandemic the garrote in subterfuge without SS

#

i asked about that earlier but without simming it myself ill leave it to the experts

gleaming geyser
#

Garrote Mut for non SS

craggy helm
#

oh interesting, so i've been double garrotting no matter what within subterfuge. Wouldn't the talent be a waste then if not running SS?

tulip wedge
#

its still good just not worth the 4-5 extra seconds vs the energy spent and GCD

@gleaming geyser Alright that's what I thought, but wasn't sure. @craggy helm Leads me to my previous questions, why do people run Subt if they dont run SS?

gleaming geyser
#

Talent row is kinda yikes anyway without SS. Not worth energy/cp

tulip wedge
#

hm i should sim master assassin without ss...

tacit plaza
#

@craggy helm you're getting like two subterfuge ticks for a gc so idk

tulip wedge
#

without**

craggy helm
#

I guess in M+ the triple G is a godsend, but yeah...dunno about for ST

sonic spindle
#

MA was like a 400dps improve for me over sub

royal lantern
#

the other2 talents are pretty weak right now

olive shore
#

@sinful lotus in m+ the silence with iron wire is insanely strong

gleaming geyser
#

@sinful lotus better than NS and MA in a few cases

abstract shuttle
#

its funny cuz suppsedly a sim with MA and Double dose traits is good

#

Havnet confiirmed though

royal lantern
#

for most people, rupture is not strong enough for nightstalker, MA deepens on your stats

gleaming geyser
#

Its just how its tuned pickle

abstract shuttle
#

Havent*

tacit plaza
#

What's the m+ strat right now? Stack SS, ggg, ct, then cycle ruptures?

daring imp
#

sinful lotus
#

@pexa So you think SUbt is still stronger? I just have no clue. MA sims higher for me by 30 dps. I have zero SS traits and run TB over Xsang. But all the top parses on WCL (also not using SS) are all using SuBt still

#

@olive shore yea I still use 2SS and 1 SoB in M+ and love it

gleaming geyser
#

Subt is easier to manage and is better on double target

#

In Uldir, a lot of fights have multi target and you can double garrote

craggy helm
#

ehhhh...I screw up my sub combos far worse than i ever do assasin

sinful lotus
#

@pexa that makes a lot of sense πŸ˜ƒ

sonic spindle
#

MA feels better to me tbh.

@craggy helm subterfuge not subtelty

we have a MA rotation?

sinful lotus
#

Why does SC still list Xsang rogue as top performer? I thought TB was pulling ahead?

sonic spindle
#

Garrote > mut > rupture

hushed wagon
#

I generally stick to one spec but if sin performs better i have no choice, I can’t hold the group back with my dps haha

sonic spindle
#

Then normal rotation

gloomy stump
#

@brave gyro nice a class with 3 meele dps specs is way worse with all specs then a hybrid class that has a tank a heal and a dps spec

tacit plaza

I wonder how it would be to play a class that isn't in constant flux

Have no choice... If you're not in a world 50 guild you have some leverage

tacit plaza
#

Changing my rotation and gear every two weeks is getting dumb

candid phoenix
#

@tacit plaza ye its becoming frustrating a bit

sonic spindle
#

I mean, you could be a shaman or spriest

brave gyro
#

I mean, the whole community cried to blizz for a month " πŸ‘Ά why r rogues top simming wtf stupid class πŸ‘Ά " @gloomy stump

sonic spindle
#

You gotta look at the bright side, rogues generally are in a decent spot at all times.

brave gyro
#

^

#

i prefer to be low key great rather than spectacular and being first on the nerf-chopping board

candid phoenix
#

the problem is, blizz made SS so strong and every other trait garbage, so when they nerfed SS we were sitting there with crappy traits struggling to find a solution

tacit plaza
#

I guess but I'd still rather not get tuned every week. Maybe if they just gave like flat reductions and kept the numbers the same

candid phoenix
#

DD helped even the scales a bit at least

sonic spindle
#

I don’t pay attention to other classes, but I’m sure they’re probably having similar issues, traits are just awfully implemented across the board.

tacit plaza
#

I don't even get how blizz tests their tuning? Just hit it with a hammer for two days and throw it live?

sonic spindle
#

I can’t blame them for smashing SS for aoe fights, but it really was a cool for ST imo

@tall dagger what traits are you running?

u are still running SS for raids

that is why

Oh weapon I forgot

#

Maybe I'm dumb, but is it just me or are other people also having to pay a ton to reforge traits after one or another getting nerfed every week?

candid phoenix

i got 365 dice atm. 365 boon gives me 400 sim dps

and i only got 1 socket

sonic spindle

I can’t look it up, but doesn’t that chest have archive trait on it @tall dagger

fossil agate

Bruh i dont have a single good second trink

gusty anvil

I was just saying SS single Target gives me highest sim still

Dice or boon or even plummage reguse to drop

One ss is still acceptable

Simming with raid buffs?

regal snow

yeah i sim 15,4k aswell and never hit the 14 even

fossil jewel
#

@daring imp Lmao ah. So I'm doing it wrong. Idk, maybe it isnt a valid complaint, but it gets annoying when I try to play all 3 specs and am up to a 20k gold cost to reforge when our traits keep getting nerfed

fossil agate

Flask prepot, and raid buffs make up a chunk of thst

Having lust, 2 prepots, flask, food and rune is alot of extra dps

Anybody know if the sims for sin changed over night? no change in my gear and outlaw was simming better for me last night, but now sin is higher?????

@hazy skiff someone mentioned something about snek eyes changing dps on sims, dunno why tho

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.

daring imp
#

@hybrid mural yea you had no other RA on gear @_@"

sonic spindle
#

@tall dagger for raids probably, you’d have to sim, but array is a pretty decent buff especially with how high stacks are getting.

placid elbow
#

Well, getting rid of my SS and resimming with Top Gear, this is what I get

tall dagger
#

@sonic spindle ok cool, I need to hop on the sim train too, first month back since WOD so still learning all this new stuff

placid elbow
#

I feel like Doom's Wake is underwhelming... is it even worth using?

sonic spindle
#

Raidbots making simming so easy I find excuses to sim tbh

placid elbow
#

Some people aren't using MA without SS, what are the openers like in that case?

sonic spindle
#

Pretty much the same tbh

empty elbow
#

@placid elbow nah its notgreat

#

Dooms wake

placid elbow
#

@empty elbow that's what I thought, i guess it's simming higher.. for some reason lol

hybrid mural
#

o no no, the SS and matrix are on the same piece (RA gear is active as long as you have a piece from the raid right? even if it isn't the "generic trait"), I just didin't realize matrix was THAT much more. Maybe I'm wrong there though.

empty elbow

It’s just worse than dungeon trinkets of similar ilvl

what are anyone's thoughts on Frenetic Corpuscle?

I feel like it's a poor man's Fathoms lol

SS is shit for raiding

#

dammit

regal snow

wrong talents

hybrid mural
#

Ah, nm @daring imp , I misunderstood how the RA worked, you gain stacks even without, but you have the have matrix or laser equipped to gain the benefit. MB that explains a lot.

stuck shuttle
#

i still sim well with SS

silent dagger
#

Anyone have a clue how good Frenetic Corpuscle is?

proven pumice
#

SS works very well when you spec for Exsang and have a GC

tranquil pivot
#

Frenetic Corpuscle is big shit!

regal snow
#

@silent dagger its only good if it procc to Narnia and u cant get better trinkets

tranquil pivot
#

the buffed proc-rate but nerfed dmg.

silent dagger
#

so i should use my 355 gladiator badge for main stat instead 370 frenetic?

limber dew
#

@silent dagger its great for outlaw

placid elbow

Frenetic is actually getting me more consistent DPS on a dummy lol.

you don't have to trust it 100% but it's good to have a rough idea of how good your current gear/talents/traits are

raidbots has best sims, AMR is ran by a small collective group, raidbots allows anyone to contribute to the APL, and so our wonderful theorycrafters and number crunchers work on raidbot apl

did i miss something

gross

#

garotte 3 things and CT

spring prawn

last garrote nerf was the 40% one right?

#

^ after that

spring prawn
#

or was there another one aswell

versed finch
#

Just that one

pure sparrow
#

there was no additional

And that was just to SS not garrote itseld

spring prawn
#

ye ok ty

pure sparrow
#

but they're pretty much the same thing

versed finch

Pretty much

pure sparrow
#

its really weird going from M+ rotation on bosses with 3 SS to ST raid rotation with 0 SS

feels unnatural

im just using same rotation in both LUL

pure sparrow
#

the opener feels unholy

#

holding exsang so long bleh

daring imp
#

do you sim higher with MA instead of subterfuge?

#

if so you'll find it's not that bad

pure sparrow
#

haven't even tried MA instead of subt

#

guess i should

daring imp
#

check it out

#

it's not that different in deeps ( mine is like 15dps apart ) but without any SS you can see the dif in opening

jagged patio
#

can anyone explain why i sim so low?

pure sparrow
#

does it feel better

placid elbow
#

MA is great for ST

rain breach
#

@pure sparrow with 0 SS maybe you go better TB

pure sparrow
#

its barely a difference in my sims

placid elbow
#

Subterfuge is probably better for Multi Targets just so you can stack garrotes on multiple targets

daring imp
#

@jagged patio shoulders don't have 2nd trait, using SS ...

pure sparrow
#

the TB vs exsang

hazy skiff
#

@jagged patio your azerite traits

rain breach
#

Exang is great with high SS

#

+s

rain breach
#

but with 0 SS you go bnetter with TB

astral sundial
#

another SS-bug question - now that SS was nerfed heavily, assuming only 1 stack of SS, is it still worth to wait out for all the 3 to expire before doing the 4'th one? (on 4 different targets). I know the pined message says you shouldn't overwrite it - but it wasn't updated in a while.

fierce ingot
#

anyone know if you can save the different talent setups in raidbots so i dont have to enter like 16 combinations each time

spring prawn

its fixed

you can apply 4 now

since ss nerf lol

they're literally the same

do u use crimson tempest also vs 2/3 tars?

the SS nerf is a week ago

ss is still bugged I just confirmed

So we all know its nerfed but is the 4 garrotes thing with SS fixed?

#

ok

spring prawn
#

im p sure its fixed, lemme check lol

i feel like, if it was fixed, the entire discord would know by now

mint osprey
#

It's not

#

I just checked

#

right lol

pure sparrow
#

and the pin would have been updated immediately. seeing as how thats the #1 thing this channelhas complained about since BFA launch

#

Tbh i didnt realize it even did that and ive been 4 garroting this whole time so RIP

rain breach
#

but whatever with 0 SS TB > Exs

spring prawn
#

ok its defo not fixed, guess i gimped my dmg by a fuckton xD

pure sparrow
#

lol

spring prawn
#

pulled 16k overall in atal while using 4th garrote, feelsgoodman

pure sparrow
#

might as well have been using a different trait

astral sundial
#

maybe someone could answer my question then: the pin wasn't updated for SS nerf. is it still worth not to cast the 4'th garrote untill all 3 expired, assuming 4 diffrent targets and 1 SS trait?

pure sparrow
#

could have been doing 20k

#

yes its still worth waiting for 4

#

why would you even go SS if you're just going to remove the traits buff by doing the 4th one

#

might as well go anything else

astral sundial
#
  1. maybe I am just stuck with the trait
rain breach
#

2 DD 1 PW ;)=

astral sundial
#
  1. the combo points are nice
pure sparrow
#

never true, theres always default trait

astral sundial

well look at ghuun for example

SS does literally nothing unless you use garotte out of stealth

at the start you have shitton of adds

but later on only 2

i feel simc is behind a bit

not sure its alreaqdy in the sims

but works great

with MA

pure sparrow
#

actually

#

whoa simc is dif now sub is waaaay lower

pure sparrow
#

updated sims has outlul above sin above sub

#

sub is rock bottom after DITB nerf

#

below shadow priest lol

strange python
#

wtf?

rain breach
#

ah cool simc is updated

pure sparrow
#

we're still second of the 3 specs, lul and sub switched places

astral sundial
#

that cuz simc is using shaprned blades in sub profile

#

the actual sim is much higher

daring imp
#

ditb or bits @pure sparrow ?

pure sparrow
#

bits

#

i confuse the two

#

ditb sounds very rogue-y but its not

rough agate
#

the potential max for outlaw is insane

languid plover
#

man, you had me instantly on the patch notes, I thought ditb took another nerf today @pure sparrow

daring imp
#

@astral sundial how can sub sim higher than that now that both sb and bits got nerfed? @_@"

#

just asking, i'm not really someone that's well versed in sub

astral sundial
#

@daring imp cuz BitS nerf is not that impactful, those profiles don't use uldir traits. in reality sub only use 1xBitS in raid

#

it was like 200 dps loss

drowsy elk
compact socket
#

I don't know why I'm not easily over 15k after seeing multiple other sims of players worse geared than I. I must be missing something.

pure sparrow
#

i mean yeah, thats technically true i guess

daring imp
#

oh, got it, ty @astral sundial

pure sparrow
#

but everyone uses uldir traits

#

which means everyone else's sim is also wrong?

astral sundial
#

ye, if they have traits that rely heavly on stacking

#

but for me for example, with whatever gear setup I use, I can't make sin get close to my sub sim

#

like 500 dps diffrence

daring imp
#

makes sense

pure sparrow
#

bunch of crit master salis

#

without haste

#

probably affecting it

astral sundial
#

no, haste my highest stat

#

preaty low for sin I guess but still highest

placid elbow
#

my haste is pretty good too and i sim lower than i think i should be at lol

pure sparrow
#

sorry that was at @compact socket

compact socket
#

I thought haste target was around 15%?

pure sparrow
#

there isn't a target as far as i know

#

like no magic number

compact socket
#

Stat weights aren't grossly off. Hard to believe I'm missing 1k DPS from stat allocation

daring imp
#

@drowsy elk combo points are from afenar WA

placid elbow
#

likewise

daring imp
#

something like "smartcombopoints" or so

pure sparrow
#

what about TB vs exsang?

#

how are those sims?

hazy skiff
#

@compact socket id probably say its your azerite traits you only benefit from RA once

daring imp
#

the rest ... not sure 😦

drowsy elk
#

thanks

astral sundial
#

@pure sparrow those are always very very close

#

even in top gear

pure sparrow
#

hm

compact socket
#

@hazy skiff RA means?

pure sparrow
#

reorigination array

#

the uldir buff

compact socket
#

So the fact that I have both a laser matrix and an archive is bad?

pure sparrow
#

(shrug)

#

RA doesn't stack as far as i know

daring imp
#

ideally you should have one of those only

#

for RA buff

pure sparrow
#

so realistically you would WANT to change that laser matrix to a double dose / DITB

daring imp
#

^

compact socket
#

I'll sub my 355 laser helm for 340 SS and see what it does but I doubt it's anything.

nimble bison

Why do top rated m+ rogues use 340 ss pieces? Is it just better than any 385 with other traits?

and also change that shrouded suffocation to a DITB / DD

#

SS is best boi for m+

daring imp
#

for m+, yes @nimble bison , unless a real high scent of blood, like a 385 one, probably

hazy skiff
daring imp
#

even then it's really, really close to 340's SS's

pure sparrow
#

your wet dream for M+ is fetid 370 chest with SS

hazy skiff
#

@compact socket any RA trait beyond the first one has significantly less benefit than the first

nimble bison
#

@daring imp ty i actually just got a 385 sob thats why i was wondering

placid elbow
#

So if you had no choice right now, would you choose Laser+Archive or Laser+SS?

daring imp
#

be sure to get good on the rupture spreading

pure sparrow
#

Laser SS

daring imp
#

that's what will make it decent @nimble bison

compact socket
#

I actually lost 50 DPS switching that out

nimble bison
#

@daring imp ty ill try

compact socket
#

1k DPS is pretty massive margin, something might be wrong with my sim settings.

pure sparrow
#

are your raid buffs on

compact socket
#

tbh not sure always used defaults

placid elbow
#

^

pure sparrow
#

you MIGHT have them off

#

fat chance but might as well check

placid elbow
#

are we suposed to have them on?

#

lol

pure sparrow
#

most people sim with them on

pure sparrow
#

so they can get larger numbers

daring imp
#

@compact socket

compact socket
#

That must be it then. Not even sure how to turn on lol

placid elbow
#

wtf

#

MOST people sim with it ON?

hazy skiff
#

its defaulted to be on

placid elbow
#

i was always under the impression it was Off

pure sparrow
#

yeah lol

astral sundial
#

why wouldn't you sim with it on...it drastically effects your stat weights

daring imp
#

and on a raid scenario it's ideal to sim with it on @_@"

pure sparrow
#

^

#

you're hopefully not pulling uldir raid bosses without flasks food and a hero lol

hazy skiff
#

@compact socket just ran sim of your character from armory with buffs on

#

same number

daring imp
#

i mean you'll always have lust to pop on every boss fight

placid elbow
#

well, if it's defaulted to be ON

hazy skiff
#

same-ish i mean

placid elbow
#

then it's fine lol

young meteor
#

what traits are people liking for m+? 7+ keys?

pure sparrow
#

is ur simc addon updated

#

SS

#

and SS

compact socket
#

Is the setting for raid buffs in the raidbots sim prompt somewhere? Not seeing it.

tender rune
#

what traits are you running guys? 3 x SS?

pure sparrow
#

for what

#

its under like additional options or something, below boss fight length and shit

latent scarab
#

What talents are you guys running for m+ this week?

compact socket
#

Found it thanks.

pure sparrow
#

CT

#

@latent scarab

main blaze
#

Archive + 2x SS

latent scarab
#

Is it just always CT for m+ ?

languid plover
#

CT outperforms PB in m+ pretty consistently

latent scarab
#

Just got wrecked on dps as it not a fortified week

#

No time to put rupture up

cyan frost
#

does ct always prioritize over rupture?

#

even with 2 targets?

latent scarab
#

^

compact socket
#

Well confirmed my low sims isn't due to raid buffs missing. How depressing.

languid plover
#

if you have SS, get your garrotes out, do a CT, and then FoK -> rupture, just get the ruptures out, ignore the CPs

#

you want the energy regen and trash will die before ruptures expire anyways

latent scarab
#

thx

dusk valve
#

!ss

prisma monolithBOT

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.

vale yew
#

in general, does FoK replace muti on 2+ or 3+ targets?

placid elbow
#

Gutripper vs Elemental Whirl

languid plover
#

for aoe you should pretty much never muti, yeah

latent scarab
#

Was seriously considering going back to Sub with ST

placid elbow
#

Gutripper>Elemental Whirl?

languid plover
#

just run exsang and CT for M+ and you'll do fine

#

CT for trash, exsang for bosses

latent scarab
#

thx

astral sundial
#

with my low crit I keep regretting every single FoK I cast 😦

solid parrot
#

I was in the same boa Zulu, even played it last week because teeming had big enough packs to really funnel nice. Then I got a 385 high alt turban and it put sin back as my highest ST spec ;/

#

boat*

latent scarab
#

I main sub. 22% crit

solid parrot
#

like a 950 dps increase for sin

pure sparrow
#

im a big big fan of not spam rupturing

#

i think that shit is bad

vale yew
#

nub question since I just switched from outlaw, in a 2 target boss fight would FoK replace muti for CP generation?

nimble bison
#

Spam rupture in aoe is fun

languid plover
#

I run 1 SoB + 2 SS for M+

nimble bison
#

Yes

languid plover
#

spam rupture is your bread and butter

pure sparrow
#

and you'll waste combo points like an idiot thta could have gone to more envenom's unless you're really thinking about how long each mob will live

nimble bison
#

Yea thinking is annoying 😦

languid plover
#

if you're running SoB, getting out 3 ruptures will drastically change your dps vs that one extra envenom you 'missed'

tender rune
#

what is ct?

young meteor
#

crimson tempest

pure sparrow
#

crimson tempest

solid parrot
#

Yeah shim usually spread garrotes on opener then only rupture on large mobs and envenom

latent scarab
#

That energy gain of multiple ruptures though feelings

solid parrot
#

for non fort weeks

tender rune
#

oh, do people play with crimson tempest?

compact socket
#

Can someone who sims well over 15k link their stat weights?

pure sparrow
#

That’s how I do it as well joop

gilded oasis
#

are you liking the 1 SOB and 2SS? I am trying to figure out what to switch to for m+ now. I still have 3 ss and its working out okay

stuck shuttle
#

@compact socket ill link you mine

solid parrot
#

Similar paradigm on sub where technically in cleave spreading nightblade is highest if mobs are guaranteed to live, but the human error involved in that usually lends just nightblade on prio target being better decision

languid plover
#

I haven't tried it for this week, but SOB was really strong last week

desert pelican
#

how many haste u guys run in myth+ ? around 10%? lower higher?

icy iris
#

Whats the opener for +1 DD?

pure sparrow
#

Yep. It’s the same as night blade. Energy regen is sexy and all, but any combo points wasted because mobs die too quickly = less big envenoms

verbal nimbus
#

hectix why does your chest have 2 heeds?

stuck shuttle
#

just a tool tip bug

#

i think

old escarp
#

That's why you just spam ruptures with however many CP your FoK gives

astral sundial
#

@old escarp FML I keep getting 1 CP

latent scarab
#

@pure sparrow no haste gain from multi NB though

gilded oasis
#

fok better teehee

old escarp
#

1CP fine for tyrannical weeks. I wouldn't worry too much

leaden niche
solid parrot
#

woa master assassin pulling ahead gotta check that

inner pecan
#

only for TB no SS builds

old escarp
#

@solid parrot what's you're haste %? Sorry I'm on mobile

latent scarab
#

1CP ?

old escarp
#

1 combo point. I'm refernce to aoe spam ruptures

solid parrot
#

15%

latent scarab
#

@old escarp Ahh, k thx

old escarp
#

I've found with TB and no SS haste is lower than crit. Running 1x SS with exsang now and haste sims highest

junior aurora
#

When you get imminent ruin 8 times 🀒

languid plover
#

with haste affecting bleed tick rate, I'd imagine more haste also gets you extra ticks for your exsang

junior aurora
#

Yeah haste sims really high for exsang

solid parrot
#

Yeah someone was talking about waiting for gcb to exsang

tender rune
#

so... how much "haste" is considered high?

solid parrot
#

yesterday

#

prob 20%?

#

at 15% for me and 15.5k it's still above agi on weight

daring imp
#

i got ~22% inside uldir and it's still my highest simming stat lul

solid parrot
#

hmm yeah I didn't check with array stacks

lime panther
#

My stats in raid 26%crit 25%haste 28% mast at 269ilvl

solid parrot
#

well stat weights w/ array stacks and 15% baseline

weak flame
#

I got 1500 hast and it still sims higher than agi

languid plover
#

based off some ask mr robot sims it said ideal haste is around 2.2k

old escarp
#

24% haste with RA buff. Exsang and 1x SS. Haste still highest stat

solid parrot
#

no SS or SB

gilded oasis
#

do you guys think archive is worth it in m+? or better off with something else?

proven ice
#

You have PW, it should have gone up..

old escarp
#

If you have SS. Use that for M+. You get many more restealths than raid

gilded oasis
#

true, just wasnt sure if the effect was better + ilvl

lime panther
#

I took off exenge and SS and went double archive , debating on swapping off 1 archive for ss n running exenge but I haven't resimmed it

compact socket
#

So I switched a crit over mastery ring out for a haste over crit one same ilvl and it only gave me 30 DPS. Hard-pressed to think that my issue is stat allocation. Stat weights are really wonky though. The 15k DPS players with same ilvl get more bang for their buck across the board. Which actually makes no sense mathematically. For example no stat of mine is worth 2 DPS per point. What the hell. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/c5M8J7bPo2rFEZDbvFik66

Can you not dodge the warrior ads on zek?

languid plover
#

@solid parrot since you're not running SS, try switching off subterfuge

old escarp
#

Sim a 3-5 boss patchwerk for 40w and see what is best for your gear. Sorta representative for M+

hazy skiff
#

@compact socket check my dm to you

gilded oasis
#

ah nice, I never really knew what to sim for +s

lone junco
#

@languid plover with my haste and exang. I believe garrote goes from 2sec (23s) base ticks to 0.6s over 11s

#

Ish.

lime panther
#

Wtf is the opener again with MA vs subt

#

And tb

#

Gar/mut/rup/vend/mut/tb/env/mut/env?

#

Like legionish?

daring imp
#

something something ep up vanish tb env mut something i guess

solid parrot
#

good call mitch, still cant figure out where I lost 300dps from patch this week

daring imp
#

also with dd

#

you wanna fit mut on the MA window

#

with env up

#

and tb up?

lime panther
#

So vend / tb /van / mut /env

#

Every week is a different opener for us πŸ˜‚

solid parrot
#

wonder if an APL change is causing it

tender rune
#

wait

#

why the vanish?

proven ice
#

Is it not gar, mut, rupture, venetta, vanish, mute, venom, mut?

tender rune
#

are you playing with master assassin?

solid parrot
#

oh yeah good point w/ MA didn't think about that

daring imp
#

i'll try to mess with the apl a bit

leaden niche
#

@proven ice i tried evasion on zek adds last night and still got debuff

woeful scaffold
#

mastery sims higher than haste for me now

proven ice
#

That's why I ask

#

I hold vanish so I can use it to get to the weaver and silence it

daring imp
#

@proven ice where does tb enter on that

late bison
#

How do you guys feel about running 2xSS 1xBI instead of triple SS for M+. I'll replace a 340 SS for a 370 BI

proven ice
#

Oh, I forgot tb.

#

That's the hard part.

#

haha

late bison
#

Or how do I sim it best to see results
