Sounds like a better guild is out there
So wait, your IRL friends are ninja'ing?
10/10 mythic 0 come at me bros
No, the non IRL are ninjas
Your IRL friends are all butt buddies? 🤔
We give to the person it will be largest upgrade
In the assassin opener, with SS + TB, why do you go G-R-G instead of G-G-R? I feel like my rupture falls off by the time I have to refresh my garrote with vanish since I'm only rupturing from stealth at 3 CP.
I got a 385 weap so they can suck my ass
Yea. Does anyone in my m+ group meed it? No? Okay, shard
That’s basically it
you get one extra tick of the stronger garrote
I mean what can you do, after that we’re using RC loot council though since it tracks all tradeable loot
Sucks that it’s come to that, but whatever
cause if you are running EP you get the extra damage from 2nd g after r
two bleeds sooner = more energy regen
While it’s still empoweed
g-r-g gives more empowered garrotte ticks than g-g-r
Empowered
g-r-g is just better
If you’re using Exsang you go G R G Ven Mut R
Nah fuck TB
chads go tb
I see, I understand that now. So do you just wait then until vanish to refresh the rupture?
:^)
rupture will have like 6s less than your empowered garrotte
so you dont wait for vanish
Sims for me say TB is better so I'm sticking with it.
never let rupture fall off
Would need a 1min sim to compare the agi vs a dps pot.
Cause I guarantee the second pot won't be aligned with vanish vendetta.
Got it okay. Thanks for the info.
Would you generally not hold second pot to line up? Or do you mean in sims?
When simming 3 bosses 40 seconds I'll get only 10% haste. 27%crit and 29% mastery. Isn't that weird?
More than I knew. Thanks!
As soon as you can have 3 rupture and garrotes out haste loses like half its value
do you use FoK against 3 targets? or just poisons and envenom?
How are you gonna press envenom without pressing FOK
is it a dps loss to refresh a rupture that was shortened by exang?
I just thought I use envenom on main target and keep bleeds up on other
at pandemic range i mean
You do
Never refresh an Exang until it's fallen off.
How are you going to get CP to envenom if you don’t press FOK
figured. thanks
Especially for any haste trinket snapshot.
Is it viable to run very low haste and stack mainly crit+mast for m+ if you also have galecallers to make up for the low haste on st?
why does heed my call do only .6 of my dmg overall during a m+
I didnt really understand the guides in context of m+. Should I garrote three targets as opener and then go for crimson tempest and try to put out as many ruptures as i can while keeping up garrote and crimson tempest?
yea
Or how Do I play on 3+ targets?
A god
OK. I can get close to those numbers with some of the gear I have
3 targets, garrote all 3 -> CT -> put ruptrues (i do at least 2 pts) then keep rup/cts up
idk when the point is you just spam CT, but i just keep rup on as many targets as possible
Do I even use envenom in Mt or is it wiser to just Spam rupture on as many targets as possible? (as long as they live long enough ofcl
@distant creek I would rupture each elite in a pack. Don't bother with the bitch trash.
It's a lose to keep rupture up on more than 4-5 targets iirc
Once you have Ct up. And rupture out. You can refresh Ct (in large packs this will come after the rupture). In small pack you hammer env.
Ok so 3 garrote -> ct -> keep 4-5 rupture up -> Hammer ct and in small Packs keep ct up and hammer env
Yeah. Now. Mix in the exang on first rupture.
With GC.
And then. Add in vendetta vanish on super baddies.
Okay
Sin has a really good kit.
Do you typically drop gc as soon as you ggg ct?
Shit packs get ggg Ct. for easy 20k. Prio st gets ripped for 25-30k. Packs with prio has a blend.
I use GC and Exang every pull.
Whats gc?
Galecaller. /use trinket.
Big haste. 10s. 1mincd.
Dont have galecaller and die yet :/
Buffs all your gggs. And also snaps your prio exang
I will dump fathoms for a dice when I get one.
so for m+ i should not prioritize haste for M+?
No
If you arent running ss with sin idk what youre doing tbh
I want decent dice
As strong as legion sub shoulder dfa
Btw Do ggg get buffed in hindsight when you use trinket after or Do you use IT before?
(Blatant opinion)
i can run 3xSS but i also have a 385 helm with dagger in the back which i use and 2xSS, should i drop that for 3xSS?
Run so many freehold m+ and not a single dice
the 385 sims higher
Sim 6t 40s. Then decide.
Ditb isent terrible for cleave, so maybe
The answer is SS.
But probably ss
Might be worth it for the single target damage this week if its not too much of a loss in cleave
Atm i have a 340 cannon and 370 tf Emblem lol
The rogue is a twink so shit equip unfortunately
Emblem is on use right?
that was my train of thought, i know it would prolli be best for the trash packs, but even with 2xSS its still strong, and the ditb helps the ST trynnanical boss fights
No 8 second haste proc
Because the on use pvp trink is good, the proc one not so much
From using abilitys
Ah damn haha
395 rot scour ring w/ socket is my best so far
Creamed my shorts from that one
Lul
Hey guys, do we know if raidbots has scaling correct with azerite traits? I just ran a sim and it says AotT gives 6 main stat per stack, in game the item says 10
It will sim correctly, just a tooltip error
k thanks
Btw what are some cool shroud skips you guys Do that arent super obvious?
If we can ever get the apl to do a ggg r. Or ggg Ct. we can see if it is a gain/loss in 2t or 3t. Post nerf. But until I see it, 🤷♀️
@distant creek my group likes to wipe after cool skips.
Are u still going for 2 SS azerite traits and the uldir one?
or is there a higher value combination?
If I have 5 combo points and toxic blades has just come off CD , should I use it and waste the combo point ? Or use envenom the. Toxic blade ?
Wiping after skipping the bridge in underrot...
Yeah skip to First Boss underrot and then wipe because someone stands in the sanguine lol
whats the benefit of toxic blade over exsang? doesn't it just buff mut and poison damage? does the lower cooldown make it that much better?
Stab your enemy with a toxic poisoned blade, dealing (53% of Attack power) Nature damage.
Your Nature damage done against the target is increased by 30% for 9 sec.
Finishing move that drives your poisoned blades in deep, dealing instant Nature damage and increasing your poison application chance by 30%. Damage and duration increased per combo point.
What's bs is the rune carver in sots. You can skip that miniboss but if you wipe to galecaller the rune carver gains truesight
@silk sundial It's supposed to have Truesight all the time o .o
I got a laser matrix. What two other traits should I pair with it for raid fights. Probably single target. With an ad or two
He had the eye everytime I saw him and I did like 5 runs in the last 2 days
Does laser matrix take mobs out of cc in m+ ?
Try skipping it the next time, I swear it works the first time lol. We actually skip the galecaller and kill the deepsea ritualist for the orb shortcut in case we wipe to galecaller who is absolutely awful this week with tyrannical necrotic on high keys lol
trying out Sin, mainly a Sub guy. At what ilvl does exang start over-taking toxic blade?
@lost wharf dopphe is right - I watched pumpsy do a run the other day on twitch and they had a discussion about it
just Sim it i suppose?
He is right °
sim it
depends on traits, talents and your overall secondary stats
too many variables to just pump out "exsang is better when x and tb when y"
so how exactly does exanguinate work/fit in the rotation? ravenholdt only mentions it during the opener
refresh dots > pop
arent stat prio for exang / tb way different tho?
Making the swap to sin after I realize how bad my bits traits got nerfed for sub. Sad I didn't farm up SS pieces so for m+ all I have is a 355 chest and 330 shoulders lol.
Guess I gotta try getting a leather group to get 340 shoulders. And gotta find out if 340 helm would be better than my 370 helm
for M+ it's great to have 3
It's strong but st bossfights there is better
Okay so next qestion. Elaborate Planning/Envenom uptime. How important is it?
likely best trait for M+
but speaking mainly raiding ( a.k.a. no restealths ), there are surely stronger ones
what would u take for uldir then?
BfA is now more than a month old and SS-Bug still exists. Fucks me so up.
what sims best, with 1 piece of uldir for reorigination array
ideally high ilvl double doses
but good luck getting those
I mean Subterfuge Bug, sorry.
@earnest thicket well ep is great for increasing empowered garrotes damage
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.
Yeah I meant for m+. Still need to figure out my ideal raid stuff as well. I think 0ss was simming higher than just my chest but I think someone was saying at least 1ss in raid feels so much better
So I might just do that if there isn't a big diff
envenom buff is worthy to keep track for double dose only i guess, it doesn't make THAT MUCH of a difference anymore unless you have DD
So during normal rotation, when vanish is on CD, I should be trying to get ruptures and garrotes casted inside an EP window
it doesn't work like that
the garrote/rup ticks with ep up are 10% stronger
when the ep ends, they return to their normal damage
no snapshot with ep
AH, it's not snapshot at the initial cast?
nope
gotcha
Question
Do I use envenom right after EP runs out or when envenom buff is nearly finished?
when i have enough resources or during tb window i try to fit envenoms inside the last miliseconds of ep
otherwise you just wanna keep envenom buff up
hold on, exang question. do you wait till the dots you exanged fall off before reapplying them. or do you just reapply them when they are below 30% duration
envenom buff pandemics, ep doesn't
fall off
ah pandemic
You let exsang dots fall off, but you pandemic the normal ones
great ty
I try to pool energy for bursts rather than spamming mutilate/finishers.
Pool to about 150, finisher, mut mut, wait until ep is about to fall off, finisher and so on until I can't keep it up then I pool again
(yuy more dot tracking)
Multi dotting is fun
was my first attempt at Sin last night on vectis, just clarifying some things
my parse was awful
i agree, but i would love it if there was a lil dot on the enemy like "exang: rupture" that tells you how long your rupture is gona be exanged for, same for garrote
well that's extra work you have to track Ç_Ç
same with a subterfuge empowered rupture
i think
Guys, is there a way to get something simmilar to Infexious sin rogue for the dots ? can't find anything on wagio

exang tracking any of em?
is ss still bugged? 😦
Shrouded Suffocation

rip
@spiral knot no clue which one is that @_@"
ok i'll check in the WA just posted 😃
You lose empowered garrote even if you garrote another target out of stealth?
can you play assa without any SS traits? for m+
well you definitely can @dark niche , but i assume only on high keys as on low ones you'll have trouble ramping up dots
but SS is really good regardless of the key tho @_@"
@strong plank yea
you don't really need SS to play sin properly but it's a real nice QoL thing
You need it to do good cleave damage without ramping up
well i think 8~10 are alright to consider
Me, because i dont wanna do 20% damage while dh is doing 30% or more lol
man i hate this trait system
DH burst AOE so crazy
Fr
Falls off quick after
i just swapped to sin from sub because it's annoying that you have to give concessions to go ST or AoE as sub
whereas sin it's basically one build for both
i think assa is just better than sub for most stuff but when i dont have any ss traits at all -_-
the guy in the group i run with plays really good dh
haha i have a 370 bits piece for sub, but i swapped it for a 350 SS to play sin
Yeah...I made the swap but haven't actually played sin yet. Managed to get normal uldir SS chest but had to use a blue 325(330) shoulders to get my 2nd SS
I like sub a lot, and it works great under the right circumstances. Sin is just better overall for m+
I'll try and get leather groups for helm and shoulders I guess
2 is fine
for m+ it's really good but you can do decently with 2 too
ah kk
I run 2 and a 385 piece
fuck this stupid shitty fetid devourer that never drops chest, all coins on this fucka and nothing
anyone have any views on : M+ 2 x SS and 1 SoB? how does it compare to 3 x SS ?
I'll try ss, archive and some other piece.
i have 2 and an archive, maybe i'll go back and sim it
I average like 13.5k in m+ with only one SS
Well I want 340 shoulders over my 330. These don't even have a 2nd trait
It’s not mandatory
I only have 1 decent ss piece
unless if sob is very high ilvl, @cosmic forge , likely not that good
I just finally got the 370 chest off devourer this week
oh and you must be a god to tab rupture
@daring imp SoB item is 370. my alt SS item is 340
thoughts on 340 third SS or 385 DD for m+ this week?
tabbing rupture is easy
Guys, what do you think about the Trinket from Temple of Sethralis?
I mean, its Nature Damage!
Take 385
@strange python some think popping 3 and just fok spam is good enough, well not with sob
I do at least
Ss will win over short lived cleave, and since its not fortified, i wouldnt use sob
Yeah, no ones saying you cant do good with just one or 2, but 3 is optimal in m+ imo
^
is the simcraft desktop app out of date? i get different results on it than on raidbots
Imo archive > scent for m+
both simming same settings? nightly build? @terse bone
@silk sundial no
should i do nightly?
archive isnt better for m+ than scent
U literally get more agil by applying 3 ruptures
it is if mobs die too quick tho
Well if the mobs dies so quickly, your archive buff wont even build up
^
it doesn't need anything else aside from being in combat to build u
I don't have a decent scent piece so I'm just talking out of my ass I guess lol
up*
Heroic shoulders from zul refuse to drop for me
So I’m stuck with 370 SB shoulders
Im not a fan of raid traits in m+
you'll be comparing having the buff for atleast the emp* garrotes vs building many ruptures when garrotes are almost ending
the 1st one is better for stuff dying quick
the second one for stuff that lasts way more
well i'm not a fan of archive/uldir either
hence 3x ss 😛
does any 385 trait beat a 340 ss in m+ or nah
seriously wish they just had the reorigination array auto applied on uldir azerite drops. so we can still use normal traits like ss
maybe sob on high keys @cyan frost
When running 2xDD, should I go Master poisoner above Elaborate?
ep
and toxic blade or exsang?
your top 4~5 damage dealing sources aren't at all affected by mp
I always seem to need more energy Venom rush even an option really/
@daring imp Oh, so MP only affects the aplied poisons
and maybe pb i guess?
Go vigor and apply bleeds zac
not sure tho
yeah was thinking PB
ep affects everything
Hi all, is Ravenholdt still a valid source for opener currently? I tried the opener with 2x SS and Exsanguinate on a dummy and my opener is weak af.
did you check overall damage on your damage meter addon @jade patrol ? when you vanish the "current fight" starts a new parse on it
Do You I have To Activate Exsinguinate During Garrote's Subterfuge ??
If you are comparing youe damage on a dummy with no raid buffs to your sim with optimal raids buffs its gonna be a lot lower
@jade patrol
It certainly helps to line it up benzzz
well, it is recommended @wide gale since it's the strongest ability ( with subterfuge on ) that you have
The difference of raid buffs is about 3000 dps with a 1 target 5 minute sim
@daring imp Before the first vanish I am arround 10k dps. This feels very bad.
What are you simming at
Sometimes I miss it by 1s Late , I guessThats Why I deal no Dmg
The opener is on the site
Garrote-rupture-garrote-vendetta-mutilate-rupture-exsang
Galecaller if u have before exsang
It that an opener for multiple targets? Why do I apply garrote twice so soon?
Yeah im using TB until i get a gc
that's for raiding
a.k.a. st
garrote twice so soon is to extend its pandemic duration to the max while within subterfuge buff
This is my M+ specc.
Wait until Garrote has fallen off entirely before refreshing @daring imp it Said
@daring imp How To Know If this Is An Empowered Dot ? Is There WA For It or What?
Its empowered if its cast from stealth

Or suberfuge buff
mizerok's WA tracks it but you should know who you casted it
since it's like something that happens only on opening and every 2min
Horkst maybe try the toxic blade opener and see if that gets you higher results on target dummy?
Might be a haste thing
Why Some Dots Become Empowered ??
...
yo i guess people ask this 100000 times but how is my opener(and burst) with master assassin ?
shrouded suffocation empowers even further garrotes cast from stealth/subterfuge
Depends on if you are using ss or dd shadow
@nocturne gate Sim yourself and look into APL
@junior aurora Are there any breakpoints?
No but exsang performs better with more haste
Gameplay with exsang feels so awkward for me as a melee... Oo
do you take exsang if you're running crimson tempest in keys?
You dont bother exsang CT but its good in m+ for priority damage
^ ²
Also for the energy
i gotta compare on patchwerk actually i have hella haste now but ive been TB for a while

I find TB easier for raiding bc its less to keep track of but exsang with lots of haste is good af
Tb outperforms on long fights, exsan is good for shorter fights with the big burst
Well it sims 400dps more for me on 5 minute fight
It depends on ur 2nd stats and traits
5 minute fight tb and exsan about the same st, but 3 or 2 minutes exsan is quite ahead
For me at least
Mh, need to gather more haste gear. With PB and TB I am arround 14,2k dps
Yes but like I said, it depends on traits, second stats, trinkets
Yeah im not using exsang until i get gc, but shrine is awful
the apl is so strange with MA and TB opener tb after vanish second time env and third time muti that looks strange
Is it a newly updated link this m+ opener? on 3+ targets?
Its not updated but its still true
exsang still a small loss for me at 1.3k haste, 1.1k crit, 400 mastery and 164 versa
but thats probably cuz traits
SS increases exsangs worth
after putting rupt/garrote on say, all 3 targets during cleave, do we FoK? or just pick a target and mut/env
yeah and i have none haha
Oof
3+ spam fok
cool, i hadn't read that in the pins anywhere so i was confused, thanks
rn im 370 lazer+385 DD + 340 sharpened blades, if i get array shoulders in any way it'll be 385 head and chest with DD
340 chest?
385 chest
Theres a 355 pvp chest from conquest with ss on it
and head
Ah
with DD
385 head and chest both with dd? What are you rngesus
for everything but shoulders, yeah
I dont even have one 385 az piece yet feelsbadman haha
only got 370 head and shoulders with DD 😛
where do you even get 385 pieces
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/zuljin/Spiceville in bags is the chest ready to go once I have zul shoulders
Weekly chest
Same man same
meanwhile i'm still using my 340 rings because 340+socket beats out 370 stuff
395 rot scour ring w/ socket feelsgoodman
TB alway right after refreshing Garrote and Rupture to get as many Envenom in the time frame as possible?
Pool energy first horkst
Just so that you can fit 2 envenoms in without being starved before you can do so
zul shoulders allowing me to put that chest on will spike my sim to like 17.1k, the fact that they haven't dropped to a raid of 12-15 leather users every week since Uldir dropped makes me cry
@junior aurora ty again. 😃
https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Seliathan links you to their armory next to name.
how do you open with master assassin ?
Run your sim and read the apl.
Is triple DD good or do we still want like 1 archive 1 laser 1 DD
It depends on SS. Or Sharp blades. Or tb.
all +15/+16 jesus christ
Yeah. Watch if you want to feel bad about your shitter group.
@rough agate sim with top gear. And it depends on cleave or not.
triple SS and HMC lol
master assassination + exsang is pretty interesting heh
i guess that is good then
There is a button for "more options "
In M+, do I CT before i start rupturing mobs? in a 3 target scenario
ive been playing with poison bomb this week, and its pretty strong
are you guys still runinng CT or Poison bomb?
Ct all day
CT
Ct will do 10% or more of overall damage, pb will do like 3%
at leasst in m+
i do pb on tyrannical weeks
Ct is still better
since the DH in my groups takes care of adds
Yeah pb is trash on necrotic
Yeah it does depend on your comp
Or sanguine
pb is only like 3 seconds isn't it
trash isnt a problem at all
it's hardly an issue when kiting
bosses are like
@gilded oak 3t probably means there is a baddy. Else you would have pulled more. I would ggg rupture vendetta mut mut rupture exang FOK FOK Ct.
4 mins
With shitty dps
If you run with an Arms or with a DH ye
the damage of poison bomb is lower then CT overrall, but on trynnanical week, with the freed up combo points and energy to use on env over maintaining CT would equal out no?
i have a DH and a mage in my mythic group, so i hardly bother with ct
If it's a normal 3t. Without prio. Jut ggg Ct. and read some tweets while it does work.
i also run with a frost mage so overall AOE isnt an issue
i run poison bomb on tyrannical, CT on fortified
If I wanted to clone a weakaura I have for garrote and make it for vendetta I could do that right just would have to change aura name #?
best way to go imo
well you'd never use CT on a boss in the first place
Then pull bigger. And Ct more non fort trash.
so pb wins by default for that
no point if you have a good comp
ct isnt even that far ahead on aoe pulls
its only good on like 100000 shitty mobs
Seli runs Ct on tyr. So take that for what you want.
like shrine
yeah for like +16 keys
Except kr.
But they mongo pull packs of 25x
Cause the zone moves faster if you cleave the trash.

also the council fight in KR is aids on tyrannical
the hardest thing in KR is the gauntlet trash after teh first boss
at least for us the other day
On fortified and teeming, yeah
last boss of siege people just need to learn to not push to next phase till everyone is topped off and your healer is ready
ive also seen dps run ahead of tank and get to the add first and then get slammed and die
it sucks because we were doing so well beforehand
wait what
ya just take your time with the last boss in siege, its very easy, but easily messed up by most groups
yea in KR's
yeah fuck that thing
fuck kings rest in general7
entrance of the room is a pressure plate, when you walk in, thats what activates it
every time i do SoB, it's always 1 person left to fire the cannon at the boss to finish lol
doesn't matter if it's 0 or +10, always ends up that way
does anyone have a weakaura for vendetta duration?
most people also don't realize that with each platform in seige of borallus the tentacles get more and more HP
so when your at the third platform, all dps should focus the first demolishing add first
then go to the gripping
since 1 dps alone wont be enough
yeah i mostly notice it for the third platform
since i can solo the demo on the first one in a few seconds
but can't do it on the third
yup, so you get all dps on it, burn it then swap to gripping and then you won't be overrun
hmm didnt knwo that
with the new trait nerfs and shit is SS still worth hunting?
usually someone is dead at some point on the third platform lol
and then it goes downhill from there
we mainly had one dps on the demolishing and everyone else on the gripping
must I have Achive active when I want to activate Array or can have other traits and Array is activated?
yes @kind light if you run m+
yeah from what i've seen if you don't burn the first demo down, having the second spawn will screw you
SS>AoT in M+?
yes
Triple SS still King in dungeons
you need to have archive or laser matrix for array to work
ss in head piece is eluding me
same here @kind light
Shrine
using LM/Archive in head for the time being
Get a 5 man Leather Group to run shrine
yea but it never drops or is an upgrade for someone else -.-
o don't run with plebs bro
ahh
i got a 370 scent of blood shoulder so its not all bad
there is onlyplebs
is double dose a good enough sub for m+ or scent
all my SS pieces are 340 it's terrible
2nd cap on Arena still gives 355 SS right? It's how i got mine @terse pawn
i got a 370 and 340 SS
oh right i got the 355 ss chest u rite
could be worse
could be one of those Horde/Alliance meme traits
its what i have on a headpiece
oh the flag thing lol
ye lmao
guys i play always sub i change recently in assasination i m 363 ivl and i do only 11k on bosses in uldir if someone can help me with my rotation
there's not really much of a rotation past the opener
if u have some saucy logs some big bois might wanna take a look
just keep rupture and garrote up all the time
also depends on the boss, etc.
what traits do you have
etc
baseline you should read the guide on ravenholdt
if you havent ofc
ok how i open for me i do garrot +rupture then vandeta into toxic +mutilate then vanish mutilate +garrot
garrote x2 if u doing subterfuge
I been trying to figure out why my dummy tests are much lower than sims, turns out I had all the buffs on and when turned off my dummy tests are ballpark lol
G>R>G in opener
if you have SS
what @vital haven said
im have twwisting knife +archive of titan + suffo
Vendetta TB Envenom
oke so then @versed finch is right
Mut mut envenom mut mut envenom
Speak3
thx cvpse im gonna try in on dummy
on opener at least, but low haste/bad rng can fuck u on third envenom in tb window
Vanish G>G
i personally dont like to recommend this but use TB on cd as well
if you envenom right after your tb you can fit in 3, but it requires you set it up before your tb cooldown comes up
idk why it just feels weird to use TB on cd
Then it's just maintaining rupture
yeah @terse pawn but if he has trouble atm, i doubt he'll pool correctly
Pool energy when u plan to use TB
cvrpse u play eu or Na
NA
damn
getting the right weakaura's for pandemic windows helps a lot @mystic mirage
rosh can u give me one

so I feel like generally using it on CD is best, and just have to be mindful before it comes up
lol
haha been there
whats the better 2nd teir traits to hunt down now
I just try to make sure I have saved energy to rupture just before tb comes off cd
Overwhelming power
Heed my call
lol yeah I was 16/20 on zek
Unstable flames
I use tb on cd but if I have good rng saving me energy might as well wait a second or two
rip fight duration
@lost sentinel that very common. Raid buffs add a lot.
like if your rupture uptime is 60% or something
anyone have a weakaura to track emp garrote?

hmm ty
Biggest thing wow analyzer drove home for me was trying to be too fancy holding abilities to get that perfect line up lead me to losing too many total uses
obviously fight duration has an impact on how you think through that, but the toxic blades and sometimes vanish were big ones
yea im really bad for not using vanish = /
lol that's annoying
Sometimes also see vanish off CD and pop it while garrote is on CD
need to get my WA to only glow when both up or something so I dont do that
it just said you are wasting combo points with poisoned knife on mythic taloc
more?
heed my call vs unstable flames on SS pieces in M+?
it really tilted me when i tried to run across water in sin and found that sprint doenst give you water walking
i don't remember who specifically answered but thank you a ton for answering my questions about M+ yesterday. Significant increase in dps last night! ❤
Er, the poisoned wire change on the PTR is a tooltip thing I believe; that change is already Live (if you're referring to the crit rating increase).
I am guessing the tooltip now affects the next 2 mutilates or something?
now says*
No?
it does though, apply to 2 mutilates, not one like the tooltip suggests
Poisoned wire does? Or are you referring to the changed first strike (which now affects the next two attacks) for sub?
Er, first dance
poisoned wire makes garrotte increase mut crit rating right?
yeah
Yes
based on my logs w/ 370 chest it's about 10%
damn even after the buffs poisoned wire is still not that good
it gives 2 stacks so it applies to 2 mutilates but the tooltip doesn't say it
I'm sure it's in the hotfix log somewhere
Hotfixes dont change tooltips, that is why
what are the best arena talents?
This is a really stupid question, but if you sit in stealth after a vanish, during combat will your bleeds crit the entire time
With master assassin
it works
is SS still bugged? do your garrote applied while stealthed lose the buff if u apply another out of stealth?
well, I did it on test dummies, also did it with the legendary shoulders in legion, I haven't used it in an actual raid
Probably horrible though, would only be useful on pull to have the SS garrote crit the entire exsang window
could be useful on a very high burn fight, I was having trouble tracking the damage because of how details works vs dummies and dropping out of combat messes it up
Hey guys, kick questions here. In MM+, should i use CT or Poison vial is ok ? Thanks !
@lost sentinel just put overall damage
instead of the damage on a single fight
@silent goblet generally ct is best
We Still want x3 SS in m+ right? Also what do we want for single target raid encounters? or raid encounters with adds? Cause herodamage is telling me different from people in the discord
@daring imp Thanks mate ! And so you're using it only for 2+ target right ?
Poison wire doesn't give 2stacks per garrote. Just lets you stack it twice.
I've been using it a couple days now, it gives me 2 per garrotte
G g r. Mut tb env mUt
Maybe they changed it since the notes. But I tested a few days ago. 1g was 1 buff. 6 g in a row. Capped at 2.
For raids I'm using one DD one SS and one archive. @pearl fulcrum
It does rather well. Burst opener is still 26 to 28k
Unless my eyes were crossed. And got 2 on a single garrote. Or they hot fixed it, since the stacking was never documented in the first place.
But g r g. Would open with 2x.
It sucked because MA was only 3 sec.
So the opener is wonky.
boy you cross eyed?
Maybe.
I dunno when they changed it, I remember someone else telling me they increased it to 2 a while ago
and then I got a chest piece with it on and it does give me 2, I just now tested with a couple different talents with and without SS and it always gives me 2
is shrouded suffication shitty? should i take archive of the titans over it?
Does it stack to 4? Or just 1 garrote 2stacks. 4 garrotes 2stacks.
it doesn't go above 2
would u replace the ss with someone else given the chance?
or dou think its good
something
outlaw now outperforming sin?!?!?!1
G m r vendetta mut vanish tb(waste crit)
G m g r vendetta mut. Ugh. (Wasted a stack)
Pw will not work with SS for sure.
G r g Wasted 2
what level
on mythic + dungeons what last talent should i play with
poison bomb or crimson tempest?
tutorial says both, but what about
@true thistle mostly CT, sometimes PB on high tyra Temple or KR
what is considered high 10?
depends
if your group is good or not
Whatever you and your group would consider high basically
For some it might be 10 for some it might be 14
For me it is -3
is exsang PB a thing? or wold u always want to run CT with exsang
i am playing +-8 with my friends
so i do not really know, they are not so pro actualy
with posion bomb i pull like 15k on trash
hi guys, when i sim 4 targets for 40sec for m+, toxic blade sims higher than exsanguinate but every rogue i see runs exsang. for m+ should i stay toxic blade or follow everybody?
Quick question that I probably can't sim. What would you pick for an M+ 11+ run? 370 Loaded dice, 370 spyglass, 370 galecallers boon, 370 azerokk and 355 fathoms?
im at 19% haste
but im also not running 3x SS, I prolly should
Boon is great for bossing this week with tyrannical
If you have 3x SS run gale and exsang
And I like dice. At 370 it's one of the best passive trinket procs
It's a TON of haste, snapshots with exsang and makes your burst with 3xSS much better
I only have a 350 gale. Feelsbadman
Farming SoS was terrible
Yup
is SoS this week pretty shit?
Was running 20 or more keys to finally get one
SoS isnt bad this week. Temple is aids
Groups and don't understand interrupts, people who don't get in discord so I can call their interrupts lol
so I should run 3x SS with exanguinate and GCB/Dice?
Yea @fresh coyote
I ran 9 and 10 SoS this week, not adviseable
I don't see why you wouldn't @fresh coyote
it's just a feelsbadman moment when you replace your 370 azerite pieces with 340 SS pieces
Probably PB > CT if you're really trying to push the ST damage also
yeah honestly this week if you have decent cleave with you I'm running ST
I'm hoping yo finally upgrade my 340 helm
fathoms is bad in M+ Im guessing
No
I've only kept it cuz it has DD which works very well with TB
Nothing is "bad" in M+ but some stuff is just better
Sorry to change gears here but I'm failing to see the disadvantage of 2x SS 1 archive in raid.
SS is still insanely competitive, unless your party is like 375 ilvl frost mage/hunter or something
it's just that there's so much kiting around with necrotic etc that I tend to sometimes lose value of GCB in 11+ M+
guys, how do you find running crimson tempest and deeper stratagem in M+
There is no advantage to any stacks in raid
You just wear whatever sims highest and unless you're doing bleeding edge content you copy whatever most people are doing on WCL talentwise
Nah bruh, I do what feels right, Venom Rush all day
"It just feels better, it's not feelycraft I can see the meters" LOL
Waddup @inner pulsar 
I always do well on meters in my raid but I'm always looking to get better.
Just livin' the dream
Crying myself to sleep over not getting a dagger from Mother yet
same bruv
Ever since picking up DD I've been running TB over exang

Learning how to read WCL is the easiest way to go from whatever % to 99%
did get dag from chest though so I'm not tripping too hard
@little sparrow truth. I've been studying them more lately
Cheat sheet: casts -> sequence
the amount of SS m+ questions this channel gets is too damn high
someone make a pin or something
Please 
That's tough to pin because it's comp and affix dependent imo
i mean
Good ol fashioned think for yourself
That would be awesome to have a pin for SS
SS is the strongest M+ trait because its versatile
I changed from Sub to Sin not long ago, and in Sub you should use your finishers at 4 combo points to not waste 1-2 points with one more Shadowstrike
With Sin I should apply the venons at 4 combo points to not waste it too, or always strive to get 5 combo point dots even tho I'll lose points from Mutilate?
Id be curious this week to see if people w/ 385 pieces are subbing for 340 SS
Good ST, good cleave, good burst on adds.. it's just good
on high keys in tyrranical
@cerulean seal Did you read the guide?
4 to 5 @cerulean seal
@cerulean seal Read the guide 🙂
Same as sub. Mut generates 2 at minimum. Max of 4
Alright! Thanks everyone 😃
So if ur at 4. Envenom
I wouldn't be surprised If alot of rogues did, the trash isn't unimportant for timer, you still need SOME cleave
Its the same
no its not


hey guys , is there a reson why my meele attaks always op dmg ? and when i looking in my sims the meele dmg is very low
top*
Right click the target more
you need to use the NEW garrote @stiff vortex
was reading the 'updated assassination rogue uldir guide' on wowhead. one of the things they mention is: Ability to talent into execute.
what do they mean by that? 😃
lol wait do you guys actually spam right click on the target?
@wide hawk blindside
No mate it was a joke
@stiff vortex try use abilities 😂
but its not like i dont get the other % of my abilities ^^
I don't know about M+, but I would say I think that traits matter less than people like to think in Raids. If you look at M Taloc, you certainly see certain traits pop up frequently, but you will also see some very high parses with "shit" talents
@vestal venture @wide hawk I would say BlindSide is good on ghuun for last phase exec
hmm
Exactly
Not all
which is kind of good? i guess
We spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the optimal traits, but it is unlikely to be making as much as a difference as people like to think
@vital haven Well, I think that is their aim
no
i was much more happy with Artifact weapon back in legion..
We just need more azerite pieces with more viable and more complex traits
good please no
i just want azerite traits that change how i play in an exciting way
not fucking dagger in the back
Yeah more complex
dagger in the back is slightly overvalued in the sim
I liked the big numbers you could get from stacking SB
We have 3 specs, each of which can be ST or cleave. So that makes it total 6 sub specs. Each one of these sub specs needs 3 potentially different azerite armor. So if you want to run BiS traits you could potentially need to have 18 armor pieces on your char at one time. Now realistically speaking , for many of those sub specs you will want the same traits. In fact, now I have about 8 azerite armor pieces that I switch around when I want to change sub spec and it's kind of tiring especially when I get a new piece that I need to sim for each one of the 6 sub specs.
snek eyes
tell me about
7 sub specs
it
ayy
Triage Rogue
i have solution for this.. play one spec OpieOP
Yeah I was considering the bare minimum
Sin st, aoe
Sub st, aoe
Outlaw st, aoe
@gusty spire tried to, they nerfed SS when we did that ...
and with the new blue post suggesting that they are gonna limit azerite reforging even more
imma about to go crazy
Tbh I am mostly playing with Sin ST even in aoe fights and m+. Just picking CT instead of Poison bomb
yeah.. they make something good, and week later ruined it 😄
is there a macro to make a button exsang if I am specced into it or toxic blade if I am specced into that?
yes
#showtooltip
/cast [talent:6/3] Exsanguinate; [talent:6/2] Toxic Blade
@modest zodiac same here.. i just find trying play more subspec, too much time consuming
hectic add cleave sims taking ages doesnt help either >(
thanks
is it on hit or on ability cast?
ability
i have used MBB from eng helm in M+ but it has wierd effect in manor.. while fighting pig boss, trash come from sisters room 😄
procs from ability and casts
it says "on your target" though
dont get it
the soul capacitor pop is belligerently op
ahh
How do I make the blizzard ui not put newly specced talents on my bar?
4p20 subterfuge ggg into gc/exang with a soul cap. you start off like 3x dps above people, then pop to like 15x higher
Hahaha is it actually still working
also what talents do people run in m+
yeah. with 3ss
cool
gl
dont bug your garrotes, and you should be 18k dps without a brain
like g g g ct. and /sit
is EP worth in m+
/lay
ct?
or going MP
read EP. read MP. and pick the one that buffs your Garrote.
garrote on 3 mobs > FoK > rupture on 3 mobs > envenom?
!azerite
Do my azerite traits stack?
The damage part of azerite Stacks.
Other components can be assumed to stack however with some exceptions and limitations.
You can check https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/azerite-stacks/1t-t22-assassination for estimations.
do . you need 3 SS traits to go that build @ Noobe
2 or 3 probably
g g g ct. fok fok rupture exang. fok fok rupture 4 - 5 elites. then refresh CT.
adapt to smaller pulls, but env more.
vendetta prio mobs with the galecaller exang.
thanks
do you guys like SIN in M+ ? I'm just keeping outlaw for AoE M+ fights and swapping to SIN for raid bosses
i have to ask.. which assassination you guys like more? Now or Legion?
im undecided.
the ggg is a better tool for m+
but the legion 45sec vendetta peaks are a lot nicer.
GC is way way cool though.
I like sin M+ now, but raid Legion.
Okay, is hectic add cleave actually a good simulated approximation for m+? My only access to 3ss would be dropped my 355/370/370 gear to 340s and I wouldn't want to gimp myself in practice if those sim results aren't reflected in the dungeon
i was happy with my high stack mastery sin on Legion, but now need so much haste 😦
@nocturne mulch nah. do the 6t 40s patchwerk. turn off raidbuffs.
any SS sim must have all mobs together at pull, and allow restealth once a minute.
Wait how do you restealth once a minute?
thanks, I'll give that a look see, also in practice is it still that good on tryanical week if I can pull higher dps with my higher azerite gear Single target?
@versed apex kill mobs in 40s?
@versed apex that part makes sense, restealth every mob pack kill
Ahh I see
if your tank chain pulls for 6 mins straight, hid behind a rock and hearth out.
lol
Im not even kidding. I missed one stealth and started to get flustered. missed 3, and I yell.
@lone junco is the consenus that AOE traits/talents are better even on tyranical week though?
That's like every other tank for me
are you supposed to take tb when you use pb?
m+ or raid?
m+
If you run 3x SS no
