but will lose some on boss
another noob question: How can I maximize Exsan?
Sub actually has pretty good add dmg
no i don't mean add dmg, i mean constant target switching
ye sub add dmg is really strong
probably better than Sin lol
its not constant target switching on fetid
^
its just inferior without bing far ahead
on st
there is no reason to play it
outside cheese like zul
Yes. You can get 3 env in a tb with all the buffsesea
how i make macro for mouseover and target to garrote
You could probably get 4 w mfd. but thats not worth :p
/cast [@mouseover] Garrote ?
that's the one i used to use in legion with eye of conquest
Theres a longer mouseover chain if you want mouseover or target. I dont have it available tho
which one scale more with wep? sub or assa? the problem is that I got 2x350ilvl daggers but my ilvl is 371.
Thank you
ugh. I logged out in pvp gear. my sim is busted
(M+) Is it worth dropping a 340 SS piece for 385 SB ? the other traits are both SS
i usually get a /simc and copy to a text file before work, so i can fuck around with raidbots.
what do I use my vanish for, double garrot or on a rupture? (got 1x ss)
Probably not @odd sluice
@odd sluice sim 6T patchwerk 40s. no buffs. see how it turns out.
which other trait the 385 sb has
and then know that its not even using the 3rd garrote
@daring imp Meticulous Scheming
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
Actually. With tyrannical week, the 385 sb is prob better than a 340 ss if youre using 2 other ss pieces already
if it were scent of blood, it might would've been worth it @odd sluice
The big deal is for m+
@charred oar it is great for m+ because of restealths between trash packs
like, "garrote being your overall 1/3rd of your damage" great
Those people are dumb or dont have a better option
if you mean for RAIDING
what
so whats the preferable setup for raiding
SS is not the top pick anymore
you should sim yourself to be honest
depends too much on ilvl
but you want atleast ONE reorigination array piece
hes asking for the preferable setup
In perfect t22 gear, 1x archive 2x dd is best
What is dd?
double dose
double dose
Is there even one double dose out of raid? Xd
no
rule #1 when youre fighting zombies
no, itβs rule #2 actually
I think haste is still preferred even with DD
I mean scaling over time.
I dont think mp would effect it with new mp. Id have to check tho
i mean, even with dd, our top dmg is still melee, garrote, rup, envenom
so mp wouldn't do much for those four
^
ep does tho
i had 105% haste in timewalk. and SS is pretty awesome. but only 2min intervals
105 how

i like to see absurd multipliers in action.
Boys ... What are the go2 Traits for M+ now? I have no clue how to sim for it
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.
Went from gray and green parses to blue, a green, and a purple parse last night. Feels good, friends.
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 
2 SS 1 Scent is good? and for rading 1 SS 1 Scent 1 Archive? (dont have pewmatrix)
@hybrid mural hell no lul
3x SS or 2x SS 1 Dagger in the back for m+?
Scent is good fort week for M+
this game sucks so much. its unreal 3x 385 SS item in a row just wow....
Besides that it doesnβt have much use imo
@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
I'm going to mess with Master Assassin and no SS to see what life is like lol
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
@daring imp got 2* 340 SS 1* 385 Scent
Just do 3-5target patchwerk sims for trash idk
@daring imp I am very confused with the changes going for rogue. I am playing a different spec every few days
thx guys 45ilvl higher and its not an upgrade π
And I am also working full time so its hard to stay up2date π
is raidbots updated with latest trait nerfs?
keep ct debuff* up and spread ruptures like your life depends on it
Welcome to BFA hahaha
CT for Tyrannical?
depends
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
if big pulls allowed, then yes
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
Do I even use CT for ST or simply stick to standard rotation?
don't touch ct on st rotation
does legion legendaries work in timewalking?
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 π
can't you just sim it with 2 bosses in raidbots?
also maybe old tier pieces?
the ct, that is
@daring imp thank you senpai
@daring imp ahh. and its Heed my Call > Overwhelming Power for M+, right?
well that i'm not sure
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
i only have heed my call on my ss pieces ( didn't drop any from m+ weekly chest or fetid devourer yet )
ilvl?
π
share the sim with us!
i just came home from work
sec
yea, why not just link the sim lol
thanks π
Just a basic sim ran on our guild discord, haven't fiddled with anything tbf
so may be off?
nah i think it's good

does anyone have a good sharpened blades WA specific string?
i think fuu made one
SB Feelsbadman
i mean there's others but i was using his when i had sb
thanks mate
you're 1 week late
I mained do during coldheart bis, I don't really like that interaction
if you still playing with SB
Yeah, still the best way to cleave
kk
running 3x SS for M+ and various shit for raid that simmed out best
raidbots takes into consideration that when using LM its in raid ye?
as well as archive
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
got my second 385 SS Piece out of the chest and the fetid hc piece, i'm happy
while i still didnt get any azerite pieces
385 dd shoulders from weekly, first good item from a m+ chest in over a year
same ^^
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 π―
all coins rolled on fetid except one yesterday on ghuun
does azerite gear have a higher chance in m+ weekly chest? I got azerite pieces on 3 characters this week
guess that's all my luck for this expansion
Is better pb then CT on zul?
They said there is BLP on azerite gear in weekly cache
@round wadi does your group suffer with cleave dmg?
you're playing with exsangue in mm+ with 2 SS ?
Yea
hi bois against how may targets u start to spam fok and not muti and use crimson tempest?
3
3+
That's a sim yourself question. Just do a quick talent compare of exang vs TB. ezpz.
Still can't tell if I should use CT on zul
@daring imp TB or Exsang for M+?
LM got nerfed?
really?
Last Week, i think.
why is it so high on herodmg tho
what's lm ?
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
laser matricks
lasez matrix nvm
No trait is going unnerfed
LM is showing high because reorigination so its a 1x trait
How do i use vanish when playing master assassin with 1 sharpened blade trait?
i basically have half a bank full of azerite gear just because they'll nerf whatever's best next
it's ridiculous
@spiral furnace i do exsang
so im confused
quick question, i'm running 2 archives + 1Lm, using TB build, should i let garrote fade at pull and after using vanish ?
ILVL should all that matters- blizz2018
should i be using lazer matrix and/or achrive in raid?
Archive ideally
@fallen sandal if you are not running any SS trait, you vanish at 5.4
Yas
kk π
Only once tho
The opener does feel much better with 1 SS
also for SB , how do i fit that into my rotation? just when it hits 30x stacks?
Any reason not to go with 2 x haste enchants on daggers?
so whatcha guys thinking about crimson tempest in m+?
always top 2 stats?
top2 because diminishing returns
@harsh raven they only stack faster and share a similar ppm
i think
1 haste 1 crit is better
ok, thanx buddy
and scroll up about 7 hours
guys for sharpen blades - do i just use poisoned knife when its 30stacks?
for a big discussion about CT in m+
atleast I got a haste dagger in the weekly chest
@gritty yoke infested makes pulling slower and CT only shines above 4+ targets... I personally stick to PB for boss damage
@harsh raven lucky!
Anybody using MA here? Do you feel like it makes much of a difference vs Subt?
please answer me T_T
isnt twist the blade good? i mean, it sounds pretty good
yes
heres a WA to track it
by fuu
@haughty flame 29 stacks+
it flashes at 29 stacks
ty
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
@sinful lotus It feels better for me tbh
god azerite is such a fucking shit system. gib tiersets back pls
I like the traits. fixed drop is wonky due to ilvl
did they ever took something back, when something went live?
@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?
but 3ss in M+ is >> getting stuck with no cleave build ever.
i mean, is there hope for us, that this system could be taken back?
probably not only hope they improve it
...
no way they can back track now. we are in it for 2 yrs.
yeah no way theyre getting rid of azerite traits
they'll "Fix" it but they wont get rid of it
Thats like saying legion getting rid of legendaries
Being gone for months and coming back to trying to understand these traits .... that is the real challenge of returning the game π
just think of them as major glyphs you need to farm elin
azerite traits are just a shitty rip off the glyph system
I guess I'm just going to shoot for one SS, one laser and one titans for funsies!
@sinful lotus thatβs a question for someone smarter than me
45 ilvl vendetta relics 
when you want vendetta for raid and PK for M+
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?
π¦
I've got a 370 with the titan, so I don't know if that is good or not, but sounds fun
@sonic spindle Well thank you for trying. I still can't figure out it π
Pool for TB, keep env EP during TB yea
and does elaborate planning increase bleed dmg like ferals?
Doesnt snapshot
ah
Dynamic
i was trying to keep elab up as much as possible but wasnt pooling enough for toxic blades i guess, thanks for help
Yea with the amount of crit we have, its hard to keep it up for long
So we end up pooling often
yeah im stacking haste, at 19% in uldir rn, feels pretty good
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?
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
So you make sure you have 100 Energy before using TB, then you try to get 2x Env in that window?
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.
Yea pickle
fk dude, mp + tb sims higher than eb + exang on 5adds 40s
but it feels so bad to play with it
You clip envenoms so it lasts 9 seconds and reapply rupture for the last 3 seconds of EP
Do you ever cast TB at 5 CP? insead of Env, TB, then having to build back to get 2x Env?
In your scenario
No I would envenom then TB
4cp+
is it still worth it to stack SS since the nerf to it? or should i stack the top traits on blood mallet
I do 1 archive 2ss. and play exang.
Ok so clip at 4+ cp to keep EP up during the ENV TB window?
as long as it is within 0.1% dmg, I will use that
unless GGG CT!
@lone junco my best set up so far has been 1 DitB, 1 archive, and 1 SS with exang or 3xSS in m+
Do I always envenom at 4-5 CP if all my other bleeds are accounted for
@proven pumice same actually. I just didnt like the ditb. so I dropped a tiny smudge for the 2ss
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>?
Yea and make sure you clip ur envenoms and ep @limpid cave
Or do you refresh gar and Rup even when they're not close to pandemic to avoid that problem entirely?
@lone junco do you dislike DitB because of positioning or because you just super like that juicy SS
Any reason to run archive in M+? Or stack 3x SS trumps everything in M+?
If you have envenom already rolling into TB and need to refresh ur rupture its not a big deal
Rupture counts as EP refresh
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
they synergize extremely well
i mean... TB increases poison damage done and Envenom increases ur application dmg
Thats the whole reasoning behind TB Env
So using a Rup during TB technically detracts from that interaction then?
but it's not a huge dps loss?
it is a huge dps loss

Env buff last 7 sec btw
look at rupture's damage compared to envenom
I personally refresh gar/rup to make sure i have my TB window open for env
@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.
new to assassin but im consistantly lego parsing with that
@tulip wedge even if they aren't close to pandemic range, say 10+ seconds?
I think the exang ss rotation can be better than sim, in any condition of a re-sync. from mechanic.
Losing 1 envenom empowered isnt worth delaying all ur shit and refreshing non optimally all ur shir
You're asking very specific cases
@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.
i mean 10+ seconds i wouldnt refresh because toxic blade is only 9
1min sync with gc seems to be my jam.
I dont have the superior brains to manage the desync.
So many abbreviations it's hard to follow
g g g ct v m r gc ex. wheee
x d
mtgtcg
@gleaming geyser I know my questions are specific and I appreciate the answers π
@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?
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
ill also say a lot of the time i dont have the capacity to get that rotation perfect during boss fight mechanics
So yes, in a perfect world, your rupture and garrote is always fresh and TB is ready with 100 energy
I'm pretty new to rogue tbh, so let me know if im mistaken
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
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
Iβd probably pool
If you have low energy, you pool and envenom before TB so its empowered by EP and u have Env rolling
if you have 100% energy, blow the env then mut mut pool
sorry, what is pool?
wait
Save energy
XD
Envenom empowers TB which empowers envenom?
You only gar Rup Gar if you're running SS traits though right? Otherwise it's just straight up Gar, Mut Rup pop coolies?
Envenom gets you EP which empowers TB and TB empowers your deadly poison
Then TB empowers your subsequent envenoms
Seems like a tight window
@sinful lotus I believe the double garrotte reasoning is from the subterfuge talent, not from SS
you should always get atleast 2 envenoms out when you use tb
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
Garrote Mut for non SS
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?
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?
Talent row is kinda yikes anyway without SS. Not worth energy/cp
hm i should sim master assassin without ss...
@craggy helm you're getting like two subterfuge ticks for a gc so idk
without**
I guess in M+ the triple G is a godsend, but yeah...dunno about for ST
MA was like a 400dps improve for me over sub
the other2 talents are pretty weak right now
@sinful lotus in m+ the silence with iron wire is insanely strong
@sinful lotus better than NS and MA in a few cases
its funny cuz suppsedly a sim with MA and Double dose traits is good
Havnet confiirmed though
for most people, rupture is not strong enough for nightstalker, MA deepens on your stats
Its just how its tuned pickle
Havent*
What's the m+ strat right now? Stack SS, ggg, ct, then cycle ruptures?
^
@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
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
ehhhh...I screw up my sub combos far worse than i ever do assasin
@pexa that makes a lot of sense π
MA feels better to me tbh.
@craggy helm subterfuge not subtelty
Subt not Sub @craggy helm
oof
@gleaming geyser they both start with subt tbf
@tacit plaza 
Sorry just chiming in, Iβm wondering if ass rogues typically outclass subtlety rogues in high m+.. also wondering if I should make the switch
Good let the FOTM move to survival
@hushed wagon lots of high end sin players.
Sin it to win it
we have a MA rotation?
Why does SC still list Xsang rogue as top performer? I thought TB was pulling ahead?
Garrote > mut > rupture
I generally stick to one spec but if sin performs better i have no choice, I canβt hold the group back with my dps haha
Then normal rotation
@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
I wonder how it would be to play a class that isn't in constant flux
GJ blizzard, literal drooling dauns
@sonic spindle thanks
Have no choice... If you're not in a world 50 guild you have some leverage
Changing my rotation and gear every two weeks is getting dumb
@tacit plaza ye its becoming frustrating a bit
I mean, you could be a shaman or spriest
I mean, the whole community cried to blizz for a month " πΆ why r rogues top simming wtf stupid class πΆ " @gloomy stump
You gotta look at the bright side, rogues generally are in a decent spot at all times.
^
i prefer to be low key great rather than spectacular and being first on the nerf-chopping board
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
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
DD helped even the scales a bit at least
I donβt pay attention to other classes, but Iβm sure theyβre probably having similar issues, traits are just awfully implemented across the board.
I don't even get how blizz tests their tuning? Just hit it with a hammer for two days and throw it live?
I canβt blame them for smashing SS for aoe fights, but it really was a cool for ST imo
Could anyone give me some tips? Iβve been watching and reading a lot of guides, but I canβt seem to keep up my DPS, I can burst up to 22k, but I die down fast to about 9-10k sometimes as low as 8.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2X6qyh7w3d8VRcZj/#fight=9&type=damage-done&source=11
Iβve changed up my enchants, and working on gems.
Gunness
crit + haste
depends on highest stim stat
@tall dagger 90% up time on rupture
btw bro. ur dot uptime is low. thats why ur not making dmg
Gotta pump that shit up
@tall dagger what traits are you running?
u are still running SS for raids
that is why
and very low ilvl SS traits as well
So, move away from SS?
well yeah. let me show u smthng
Ok
Wow gah damn
2.6k on a sim for a piece?
well i'm stuck with 1x ss nothing else drops Γ§_Γ§
Ss in raid still works??
Meh
it works but its not good anymore
16.2 isn't good?
2
impressive
just try to upgrade ur GC and u are safe xD
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?
I canβt look it up, but doesnβt that chest have archive trait on it @tall dagger
Bruh i dont have a single good second trink
I was just saying SS single Target gives me highest sim still
well @gusty anvil look at my chest. i got 370 chest with SS
sims 400 dps lower than Rezans Fury lol
@fossil jewel that's my secret, i have all shitty 340 pieces so i don't have to pay for anything π’
Boy, my target dummy numbers make me want to quit π
Lmao
Sim around 11k, only 352, but can't break 9k on a dummy π
oh?
Simming with raid buffs?
yeah i sim 15,4k aswell and never hit the 14 even
@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
Flask prepot, and raid buffs make up a chunk of thst
ye exactly
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?????
I guess, I just sim with the base settings on raidbots
i sim 15.5 and i can keep 14.9k on Mother in LFR which is like a dummy π
Any seasoned Sin rogues mind telling me if this dps seems low for my ilvl? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9dEAYSzgYEiYTitpPkVJQy
brothaaaa
That's P good man
Ok, cool. I need better trinkets so bad
shoulders don't have the 2nd ring yet
Running a 345 dice, and Frenetic Corp
I sim around that, I'm 362
@fossil jewel yeah try to upgrade ur trinkets and get better traits and u should be fine
Im at 13.9 at 362 with trash trink
@fossil jewel why not get fathoms?
THEY DON'T DROP Γ_Γ
@fossil jewel i got 390 Frenetic and Fathoms sims 0.1% lower than it
@hazy skiff someone mentioned something about snek eyes changing dps on sims, dunno why tho
Started on a new faction this xpac so couldnt afford it. I'm getting close to getting Fathoms tho @hazy skiff
Fathoms is broken atm
better to ask there
I'm at 13k at 355
I farmed SOTS about 7 or 8 times for galecallers, gotta put the work in and try to avoid tilt when you keep getting cloaks instead lol
390 Brain lul
390 Brain = 390 IQ
its not as good as u would think
Ive done 10 shrine 9s and not gotten one
its 2.9-3.2% of my dmg
F shrine.
fathoms is 3.5% of my dmg
@daring imp it actually wasnt my outlaw sim that changed but my sin rather
i know that its not good but this procc again
but the agility difference makes the trick for frenetic
yeah thats it
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iqgcWTWtmFHNRVREV25uXM wat in the el. I took SS think woo finally got 370 piece with it. done goofed rip reforge cost. always sim kids
Not sure @sonic spindle , I would check but not on my PC right now
@tall dagger thatβs a big deal, because of reorigination array
@sonic spindle so if it has it, switch it to that?
was 13.6k assa this morning
!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.
@hybrid mural yea you had no other RA on gear @_@"
@tall dagger for raids probably, youβd have to sim, but array is a pretty decent buff especially with how high stacks are getting.
@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
I feel like Doom's Wake is underwhelming... is it even worth using?
Raidbots making simming so easy I find excuses to sim tbh
Some people aren't using MA without SS, what are the openers like in that case?
Pretty much the same tbh
@empty elbow that's what I thought, i guess it's simming higher.. for some reason lol
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.
Itβs just worse than dungeon trinkets of similar ilvl
well my SS chest is not simming well
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/u6iqDFpsnbstADWVywDBZ2
what are anyone's thoughts on Frenetic Corpuscle?
I feel like it's a poor man's Fathoms lol
wrong talents
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.
i still sim well with SS
Anyone have a clue how good Frenetic Corpuscle is?
SS works very well when you spec for Exsang and have a GC
Frenetic Corpuscle is big shit!
@silent dagger its only good if it procc to Narnia and u cant get better trinkets
the buffed proc-rate but nerfed dmg.
so i should use my 355 gladiator badge for main stat instead 370 frenetic?
@silent dagger its great for outlaw
Frenetic is actually getting me more consistent DPS on a dummy lol.
You should sim
Do we have to trust sim everyday?
Yes
ok so sad chest m10 loot π¦
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
you'll def see something wrong if* you sim too low compared to other people
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vL8b4q4k3b9CeaRGVegKky on par or does it look a bit low?
How accurate/trustworthy is Askmrrobot?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nwdNuzrxoegNDkiL8upt9h lol when you get Frenetic Corpuscle instead of 370 chest 
0%
Are people taking Double Dose over SS in m+ even now?
@daring imp actually sim 380 ring versa/haste less than 370 crit/haste. (the 380 give me 42more haste) so i'm confused
Shim, was that an answer to my question?
@daring imp and i've alerady a versa/haste 380 with ring
is darkmoon trinket worth it?
Yes
definitely
is TB vs EXSANG correct in sims ? so i pretty much use what sims the most right
if you don't have one better, yes @queen tiger
Alright, I'll look into it. I got some strange answers from Mr robot and that explains it some
then for sure
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
most annoying thing for me atm, is that socket is worth 100 dps on sims for me. this will drop over the future patches ofc but currently its badly designed

hey guys, for m+ - unstable catalyst or scent for blood? I know there are probably better traits out there, but it's my only 370 : /
Scent
@mint osprey not likely @_@"
did they nerf garrote again?
Rupture everything
did i miss something
last garrote nerf was the 40% one right?
^ after that
or was there another one aswell
Just that one
there was no additional
And that was just to SS not garrote itseld
ye ok ty
but they're pretty much the same thing
Pretty much
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
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
does it feel better
MA is great for ST
@pure sparrow with 0 SS maybe you go better TB
its barely a difference in my sims
Subterfuge is probably better for Multi Targets just so you can stack garrotes on multiple targets
@jagged patio shoulders don't have 2nd trait, using SS ...
the TB vs exsang
@jagged patio your azerite traits
but with 0 SS you go bnetter with TB
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.
anyone know if you can save the different talent setups in raidbots so i dont have to enter like 16 combinations each time
SS is fixed?
since when
since ss nerf lol
!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.
they stealth fixed it
it was not fixed on the nerf day
it was for EU
no
@spring prawn what is your source?
they're literally the same
isnt patch tuesday for na?
ya
its the same patch tho lol
do u use crimson tempest also vs 2/3 tars?
eu is wednesday
the SS nerf is a week ago
ss is still bugged I just confirmed
im p sure its fixed, lemme check lol
lol
i feel like, if it was fixed, the entire discord would know by now
right lol
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
but whatever with 0 SS TB > Exs
ok its defo not fixed, guess i gimped my dmg by a fuckton xD
lol
pulled 16k overall in atal while using 4th garrote, feelsgoodman
might as well have been using a different trait
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?
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
- maybe I am just stuck with the trait
2 DD 1 PW ;)=
- the combo points are nice
never true, theres always default trait
well look at ghuun for example
SS does literally nothing unless you use garotte out of stealth
ghuun p1 dps doesnt matter
padding
gusy best trait combo for raiding atm?
Gotta pump those meters bruv
is assa best on m+ / raids as like... on avg? I mean I know Sub is strongest on ST and Outlaw are doing pretty good on aoe, but like.. is Sin best avg?
sin best
1 DD 1PW 1 Archive is whatv i go in raid
Sin is great
whats pw
Pretty sure sin is performing better than sub
i'm not sure i understood your question @tender rune
poison wire
sub sims higher on ST as per simulationcraft 380's
thanks
i feel simc is behind a bit
sub sims higher, theres no way you're getting close to the sims tho
actually
whoa simc is dif now sub is waaaay lower
updated sims has outlul above sin above sub
sub is rock bottom after DITB nerf
below shadow priest lol
wtf?
ah cool simc is updated
we're still second of the 3 specs, lul and sub switched places
that cuz simc is using shaprned blades in sub profile
the actual sim is much higher
ditb or bits @pure sparrow ?
the potential max for outlaw is insane
man, you had me instantly on the patch notes, I thought ditb took another nerf today @pure sparrow
@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
@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
anyone know whos weakaura package this is, seen it on multiple rogue videos from diff players https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GyL2lFwiWM
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.
i mean yeah, thats technically true i guess
oh, got it, ty @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
makes sense
my haste is pretty good too and i sim lower than i think i should be at lol
sorry that was at @compact socket
I thought haste target was around 15%?
Stat weights aren't grossly off. Hard to believe I'm missing 1k DPS from stat allocation
@drowsy elk combo points are from afenar WA
likewise
something like "smartcombopoints" or so
@compact socket id probably say its your azerite traits you only benefit from RA once
the rest ... not sure π¦
thanks
hm
@hazy skiff RA means?
So the fact that I have both a laser matrix and an archive is bad?
so realistically you would WANT to change that laser matrix to a double dose / DITB
^
I'll sub my 355 laser helm for 340 SS and see what it does but I doubt it's anything.
Why do top rated m+ rogues use 340 ss pieces? Is it just better than any 385 with other traits?
for m+, yes @nimble bison , unless a real high scent of blood, like a 385 one, probably
@compact socket refer to https://bloodmallet.com/index.html#rogue_assassination?data_view=azerite_traits&type=itemlevel&tier=3 for the comparison between your traits
Simulation data for everyone. Overview of DPS relevant simulation data for World of Warcraft.
even then it's really, really close to 340's SS's
your wet dream for M+ is fetid 370 chest with SS
@compact socket any RA trait beyond the first one has significantly less benefit than the first
@daring imp ty i actually just got a 385 sob thats why i was wondering
So if you had no choice right now, would you choose Laser+Archive or Laser+SS?
be sure to get good on the rupture spreading
Laser SS
that's what will make it decent @nimble bison
I actually lost 50 DPS switching that out
@daring imp ty ill try
1k DPS is pretty massive margin, something might be wrong with my sim settings.
are your raid buffs on
tbh not sure always used defaults
^
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3EYCXAriEvhKRt7KrFWoZv before optimizing stuff
most people sim with them on
after optimizing stuff https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2wvYNM84A3EV8dnpGMHR5X
so they can get larger numbers
@compact socket
That must be it then. Not even sure how to turn on lol
its defaulted to be on
i was always under the impression it was Off
yeah lol
why wouldn't you sim with it on...it drastically effects your stat weights
and on a raid scenario it's ideal to sim with it on @_@"
^
you're hopefully not pulling uldir raid bosses without flasks food and a hero lol
i mean you'll always have lust to pop on every boss fight
well, if it's defaulted to be ON
same-ish i mean
then it's fine lol
what traits are people liking for m+? 7+ keys?
Is the setting for raid buffs in the raidbots sim prompt somewhere? Not seeing it.
what traits are you running guys? 3 x SS?
for what
its under like additional options or something, below boss fight length and shit
What talents are you guys running for m+ this week?
Found it thanks.
Archive + 2x SS
Is it just always CT for m+ ?
CT outperforms PB in m+ pretty consistently
^
Well confirmed my low sims isn't due to raid buffs missing. How depressing.
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
thx
!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.
in general, does FoK replace muti on 2+ or 3+ targets?
Gutripper vs Elemental Whirl
for aoe you should pretty much never muti, yeah
Was seriously considering going back to Sub with ST
Gutripper>Elemental Whirl?
thx
with my low crit I keep regretting every single FoK I cast π¦
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*
I main sub. 22% crit
like a 950 dps increase for sin
nub question since I just switched from outlaw, in a 2 target boss fight would FoK replace muti for CP generation?
Spam rupture in aoe is fun
I run 1 SoB + 2 SS for M+
Yes
spam rupture is your bread and butter
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
Yea thinking is annoying π¦
if you're running SoB, getting out 3 ruptures will drastically change your dps vs that one extra envenom you 'missed'
what is ct?
crimson tempest
crimson tempest
Yeah shim usually spread garrotes on opener then only rupture on large mobs and envenom
That energy gain of multiple ruptures though 
for non fort weeks
oh, do people play with crimson tempest?
Can someone who sims well over 15k link their stat weights?
Thatβs how I do it as well joop
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
@compact socket ill link you mine
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
I haven't tried it for this week, but SOB was really strong last week
how many haste u guys run in myth+ ? around 10%? lower higher?
@compact socket https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/h5y9yKWfBUC59jCCedmPNS
Whats the opener for +1 DD?
Yep. Itβs the same as night blade. Energy regen is sexy and all, but any combo points wasted because mobs die too quickly = less big envenoms
hectix why does your chest have 2 heeds?
That's why you just spam ruptures with however many CP your FoK gives
@old escarp FML I keep getting 1 CP
@pure sparrow no haste gain from multi NB though
fok better 
1CP fine for tyrannical weeks. I wouldn't worry too much
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/b361ahCPnTmiCViALCG475 jeez, azerite piece gave me a jump
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/b1JmeZeRy8rkdZuzsJyo8Z pretty even spread, kinda painful having haste above agi
woa master assassin pulling ahead gotta check that
only for TB no SS builds
@solid parrot what's you're haste %? Sorry I'm on mobile
1CP ?
1 combo point. I'm refernce to aoe spam ruptures
15%
@old escarp Ahh, k thx
I've found with TB and no SS haste is lower than crit. Running 1x SS with exsang now and haste sims highest
When you get imminent ruin 8 times π€’
with haste affecting bleed tick rate, I'd imagine more haste also gets you extra ticks for your exsang
Yeah haste sims really high for exsang
Yeah someone was talking about waiting for gcb to exsang
so... how much "haste" is considered high?
i got ~22% inside uldir and it's still my highest simming stat lul
hmm yeah I didn't check with array stacks
My stats in raid 26%crit 25%haste 28% mast at 269ilvl
well stat weights w/ array stacks and 15% baseline
I got 1500 hast and it still sims higher than agi
based off some ask mr robot sims it said ideal haste is around 2.2k
24% haste with RA buff. Exsang and 1x SS. Haste still highest stat
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nfdM6gnaiNgqY1hnzeG8gq I lost 300 dps from weekly, what on my gear got nerfed? I thought if anything poisoned wire got buffed
no SS or SB
do you guys think archive is worth it in m+? or better off with something else?
You have PW, it should have gone up..
If you have SS. Use that for M+. You get many more restealths than raid
true, just wasnt sure if the effect was better + ilvl
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
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?
@solid parrot since you're not running SS, try switching off subterfuge
Sim a 3-5 boss patchwerk for 40w and see what is best for your gear. Sorta representative for M+
@compact socket check my dm to you
ah nice, I never really knew what to sim for +s
@languid plover with my haste and exang. I believe garrote goes from 2sec (23s) base ticks to 0.6s over 11s
Ish.
Wtf is the opener again with MA vs subt
And tb
Gar/mut/rup/vend/mut/tb/env/mut/env?
Like legionish?
something something ep up vanish tb env mut something i guess
wonder if an APL change is causing it
Is it not gar, mut, rupture, venetta, vanish, mute, venom, mut?
are you playing with master assassin?
oh yeah good point w/ MA didn't think about that
i'll try to mess with the apl a bit
@proven ice i tried evasion on zek adds last night and still got debuff
mastery sims higher than haste for me now
@proven ice where does tb enter on that
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
Or how do I sim it best to see results
