Gotta get that crystal from deing tho..

cerulean walrus
#

Sounds like a better guild is out there

opaque grotto
#

$$$$$$

#

Nah it’s like half IRL friends so I don’t wanna leave

cerulean walrus
#

So wait, your IRL friends are ninja'ing?

slender peak
#

10/10 mythic 0 come at me bros

opaque grotto
#

No, the non IRL are ninjas

cerulean walrus
#

Your IRL friends are all butt buddies? 🤔

clever tartan
#

We give to the person it will be largest upgrade

opaque grotto
#

We have like little cliques

#

So it’s pretty meh

tropic rover
#

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.

opaque grotto
#

I got a 385 weap so they can suck my ass

hollow stone
#

Yea. Does anyone in my m+ group meed it? No? Okay, shard

opaque grotto
#

That’s basically it

meager knoll
#

you get one extra tick of the stronger garrote

opaque grotto
#

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

winter fox
#

cause if you are running EP you get the extra damage from 2nd g after r

opaque grotto
#

Wrong

#

Garrote after rupture gets you the most ticks

silk jolt
#

two bleeds sooner = more energy regen

opaque grotto
#

While it’s still empoweed

silk jolt
#

g-r-g gives more empowered garrotte ticks than g-g-r

opaque grotto
#

Empowered

silk jolt
#

g-r-g is just better

winter fox
#

heard

#

im learning today 😄

opaque grotto
#

If you’re using Exsang you go G R G Ven Mut R

silk jolt
#

but dont

#

because tb is more baller

opaque grotto
#

Nah fuck TB

silk jolt
#

chads go tb

tropic rover
#

I see, I understand that now. So do you just wait then until vanish to refresh the rupture?

lone junco
#

Does bursting pot work well with SS exang?

#

Like soul cap. Or is it just white based.

opaque grotto
#

:^)

silk jolt
#

rupture will have like 6s less than your empowered garrotte

#

so you dont wait for vanish

tropic rover
#

Sims for me say TB is better so I'm sticking with it.

silk jolt
#

never let rupture fall off

lone junco
#

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.

tropic rover
#

Got it okay. Thanks for the info.

sweet flame
#

Would you generally not hold second pot to line up? Or do you mean in sims?

hollow stone
#

You hold 2nd pot, yes

#

Based on context, noobe was talking in sims

gilded oak
#

When simming 3 bosses 40 seconds I'll get only 10% haste. 27%crit and 29% mastery. Isn't that weird?

hollow stone
#

No. That makes sense

#

Crit/mast > haste in strictly aoe situations

gilded oak
#

More than I knew. Thanks!

ruby idol
#

As soon as you can have 3 rupture and garrotes out haste loses like half its value

lone junco
#

And haste ads very little to your FOK cp gen.

#

Crit yo self.

gilded oak
#

do you use FoK against 3 targets? or just poisons and envenom?

opaque grotto
#

How are you gonna press envenom without pressing FOK

civic forge
#

is it a dps loss to refresh a rupture that was shortened by exang?

gilded oak
#

I just thought I use envenom on main target and keep bleeds up on other

civic forge
#

at pandemic range i mean

opaque grotto
#

You do

lone junco
#

Never refresh an Exang until it's fallen off.

opaque grotto
#

How are you going to get CP to envenom if you don’t press FOK

civic forge
#

figured. thanks

lone junco
#

Especially for any haste trinket snapshot.

silk sundial
#

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?

cyan frost
#

why does heed my call do only .6 of my dmg overall during a m+

lone junco
#

Yes.

#

Dice helps.

#

@silk sundial ^

#

Pretty sure. Seli has 4-5% haste in m+. 32crit.

distant creek
#

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?

verbal nimbus
#

yea

distant creek
#

Or how Do I play on 3+ targets?

wheat zealot
#

A god

silk sundial
#

OK. I can get close to those numbers with some of the gear I have

civic forge
#

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

distant creek
#

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

lone junco
#

@distant creek I would rupture each elite in a pack. Don't bother with the bitch trash.

silk sundial
#

It's a lose to keep rupture up on more than 4-5 targets iirc

lone junco
#

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.

distant creek
#

Ok so 3 garrote -> ct -> keep 4-5 rupture up -> Hammer ct and in small Packs keep ct up and hammer env

lone junco
#

Yeah. Now. Mix in the exang on first rupture.

#

With GC.

#

And then. Add in vendetta vanish on super baddies.

distant creek
#

Okay

lone junco
#

Sin has a really good kit.

silk sundial
#

Do you typically drop gc as soon as you ggg ct?

lone junco
#

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.

distant creek
#

Whats gc?

lone junco
#

Galecaller. /use trinket.

distant creek
#

Ah ok

#

Tx

#

Ty

lone junco
#

Big haste. 10s. 1mincd.

distant creek
#

Dont have galecaller and die yet :/

lone junco
#

Buffs all your gggs. And also snaps your prio exang

#

I will dump fathoms for a dice when I get one.

lusty dew
#

so for m+ i should not prioritize haste for M+?

wheat zealot
#

No

lone junco
#

Crit mastery.

#

With SS.

wheat zealot
#

If you arent running ss with sin idk what youre doing tbh

lone junco
#

Sim a 6t40s patchwerk (no raid buffs)

#

Yeah.

silk sundial
#

I want decent dice

lone junco
#

As strong as legion sub shoulder dfa

distant creek
#

Btw Do ggg get buffed in hindsight when you use trinket after or Do you use IT before?

lone junco
#

(Blatant opinion)

lusty dew
#

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?

silk sundial
#

Run so many freehold m+ and not a single dice

lusty dew
#

the 385 sims higher

lone junco
#

Sim 6t 40s. Then decide.

wheat zealot
#

Ditb isent terrible for cleave, so maybe

lone junco
#

The answer is SS.

wheat zealot
#

But probably ss

lone junco
#

But check the numbers.

#

Does ditb proc from 360 aoe Ct?

wheat zealot
#

Might be worth it for the single target damage this week if its not too much of a loss in cleave

distant creek
#

Atm i have a 340 cannon and 370 tf Emblem lol

#

The rogue is a twink so shit equip unfortunately

wheat zealot
#

Emblem is on use right?

lusty dew
#

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

distant creek
#

No 8 second haste proc

wheat zealot
#

Because the on use pvp trink is good, the proc one not so much

distant creek
#

From using abilitys

wheat zealot
#

Ah damn haha

distant creek
#

Craziest titanforge yet for me

#

Worldquest 330 Emblem to 370 lol

wheat zealot
#

395 rot scour ring w/ socket is my best so far

#

Creamed my shorts from that one

#

Lul

distant creek
#

WoW thats insane

#

I got 390 boots in the First week of m+ on my dh

weary verge
#

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

wheat zealot
#

It will sim correctly, just a tooltip error

weary verge
#

k thanks

distant creek
#

Btw what are some cool shroud skips you guys Do that arent super obvious?

lone junco
#

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.

onyx leaf
#

Are u still going for 2 SS azerite traits and the uldir one?

#

or is there a higher value combination?

signal sonnet
#

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 ?

silk sundial
#

Wiping after skipping the bridge in underrot...

distant creek
#

Yeah skip to First Boss underrot and then wipe because someone stands in the sanguine lol

strong plank
#

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?

verbal nimbus
#

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.

silk sundial
#

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

lost wharf
#

@silk sundial It's supposed to have Truesight all the time o .o

silk sundial
#

Not the first time you run through lol

#

Skipped it so many times

#

Maybe a bug

mellow pasture
#

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

lost wharf
#

He had the eye everytime I saw him and I did like 5 runs in the last 2 days

signal sonnet
#

Does laser matrix take mobs out of cc in m+ ?

silk sundial
#

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

earnest thicket
#

trying out Sin, mainly a Sub guy. At what ilvl does exang start over-taking toxic blade?

signal sonnet
#

@lost wharf dopphe is right - I watched pumpsy do a run the other day on twitch and they had a discussion about it

earnest thicket
#

just Sim it i suppose?

signal sonnet
#

He is right °

daring imp
#

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"

sweet pecan
#

so how exactly does exanguinate work/fit in the rotation? ravenholdt only mentions it during the opener

daring imp
#

refresh dots > pop

sweet pecan
#

both of em i take it

#

k

alpine rain
#

arent stat prio for exang / tb way different tho?

daring imp
#

not that much

#

will come down to traits/talents

#

DD increases mastery

rustic gyro
#

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.

daring imp
#

MA lowers crit

#

no SS favors MA

#

well

#

too much stuff

rustic gyro
#

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

signal sonnet
#

Ss after one trait isn't that powerful

#

Just need one

onyx leaf
#

so do u still get 2 SS azerite traits?

#

isnt the garrote dot still rly strong?

daring imp
#

for M+ it's great to have 3

signal sonnet
#

It's strong but st bossfights there is better

earnest thicket
#

Okay so next qestion. Elaborate Planning/Envenom uptime. How important is it?

daring imp
#

likely best trait for M+

#

but speaking mainly raiding ( a.k.a. no restealths ), there are surely stronger ones

onyx leaf
#

what would u take for uldir then?

tranquil pivot
#

BfA is now more than a month old and SS-Bug still exists. Fucks me so up.

daring imp
#

what sims best, with 1 piece of uldir for reorigination array

#

ideally high ilvl double doses

#

but good luck getting those

tranquil pivot
#

I mean Subterfuge Bug, sorry.

daring imp
#

@earnest thicket well ep is great for increasing empowered garrotes damage

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.

tranquil pivot
#

!ss

#

...

rustic gyro
#

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

daring imp
#

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

earnest thicket
#

So during normal rotation, when vanish is on CD, I should be trying to get ruptures and garrotes casted inside an EP window

daring imp
#

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

earnest thicket
#

AH, it's not snapshot at the initial cast?

daring imp
#

nope

earnest thicket
#

gotcha

strange python
#

Question

#

Do I use envenom right after EP runs out or when envenom buff is nearly finished?

earnest thicket
#

^

#

don't want to clip envenom right?

daring imp
#

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

sweet pecan
#

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

daring imp
#

envenom buff pandemics, ep doesn't

strange python
#

fall off

earnest thicket
#

ah pandemic

strange python
#

You let exsang dots fall off, but you pandemic the normal ones

sweet pecan
#

great ty

silk sundial
#

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

sweet pecan
#

(yuy more dot tracking)

daring imp
#

i enjoy dot gameplay Ç_Ç

#

but warlocks, hell no

silk sundial
#

Multi dotting is fun

earnest thicket
#

was my first attempt at Sin last night on vectis, just clarifying some things

#

my parse was awful

timid birch
#

Haha yeah

#

I did that too

sweet pecan
#

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

daring imp
#

well that's extra work you have to track Ç_Ç

sweet pecan
#

same with a subterfuge empowered rupture

daring imp
#

i think

spiral knot
#

Guys, is there a way to get something simmilar to Infexious sin rogue for the dots ? can't find anything on wagio

daring imp
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
sweet pecan
#

garrote*

daring imp
#

mizerok's WA

#

has emp garrote

#

tracking

sweet pecan
#

exang tracking any of em?

viscid pawn
#

is ss still bugged? 😦

daring imp
#

not that, prob not

#

!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.

viscid pawn
#

rip

daring imp
#

@spiral knot no clue which one is that @_@"

spiral knot
#

ok i'll check in the WA just posted 😃

clever tartan
#

You lose empowered garrote even if you garrote another target out of stealth?

daring imp
#

if you use SS's

#

the extra dmg from SS's gets canceled

strong plank
#

only after subterfuge ends though right?

#

like if you garrote a 4th time

dark niche
#

can you play assa without any SS traits? for m+

daring imp
#

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

terse pawn
#

you don't really need SS to play sin properly but it's a real nice QoL thing

dark niche
#

i guess it makes more sense staying sub then?

#

for keys 8-10 or so

wheat zealot
#

You need it to do good cleave damage without ramping up

terse pawn
#

oh that i guess

#

but if your group is killing that stuff so fast anyway who cares

daring imp
#

well i think 8~10 are alright to consider

wheat zealot
#

Me, because i dont wanna do 20% damage while dh is doing 30% or more lol

dark niche
#

man i hate this trait system

terse pawn
#

DH burst AOE so crazy

wheat zealot
#

Fr

silk sundial
#

Falls off quick after

daring imp
#

fel barrage with eyebeam meta and gcd

#

fml

terse pawn
#

i just swapped to sin from sub because it's annoying that you have to give concessions to go ST or AoE as sub

wheat zealot
#

You aint touching that

#

Aha

terse pawn
#

whereas sin it's basically one build for both

daring imp
#

you just don't get close when they have fel barrage up

#

don't even try

dark niche
#

i think assa is just better than sub for most stuff but when i dont have any ss traits at all -_-

daring imp
#

the guy in the group i run with plays really good dh

terse pawn
#

haha i have a 370 bits piece for sub, but i swapped it for a 350 SS to play sin

rustic gyro
#

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

silk sundial
#

I like sub a lot, and it works great under the right circumstances. Sin is just better overall for m+

rustic gyro
#

I'll try and get leather groups for helm and shoulders I guess

terse pawn
#

don't really need 3 SS now right?

#

it's not hugely ahead since the nerf iirc

clever tartan
#

2 is fine

strange python
#

for m+ you probably do

#

Im running 3ss for m+

daring imp
#

for m+ it's really good but you can do decently with 2 too

terse pawn
#

ah kk

daring imp
#

yea i run 3 ss to

#

too* for m+

#

all 340's

clever tartan
#

I run 2 and a 385 piece

daring imp
#

fuck this stupid shitty fetid devourer that never drops chest, all coins on this fucka and nothing

cosmic forge
#

anyone have any views on : M+ 2 x SS and 1 SoB? how does it compare to 3 x SS ?

silk sundial
#

I'll try ss, archive and some other piece.

terse pawn
#

i have 2 and an archive, maybe i'll go back and sim it

surreal rivet
#

I average like 13.5k in m+ with only one SS

rustic gyro
#

Well I want 340 shoulders over my 330. These don't even have a 2nd trait

surreal rivet
#

It’s not mandatory

silk sundial
#

I only have 1 decent ss piece

daring imp
#

unless if sob is very high ilvl, @cosmic forge , likely not that good

wheat zealot
#

I just finally got the 370 chest off devourer this weekpoggers

daring imp
#

oh and you must be a god to tab rupture

cosmic forge
#

@daring imp SoB item is 370. my alt SS item is 340

cyan frost
#

thoughts on 340 third SS or 385 DD for m+ this week?

strange python
#

tabbing rupture is easy

tranquil pivot
#

Guys, what do you think about the Trinket from Temple of Sethralis?

#

I mean, its Nature Damage!

clever tartan
#

Take 385

daring imp
#

@strange python some think popping 3 and just fok spam is good enough, well not with sob

clever tartan
#

I do at least

wheat zealot
#

Ss will win over short lived cleave, and since its not fortified, i wouldnt use sob

surreal rivet
#

IMO you only need at least one SS

#

I average like 13.5k in m+ with one

wheat zealot
#

Yeah, no ones saying you cant do good with just one or 2, but 3 is optimal in m+ imo

daring imp
#

^

terse bone
#

is the simcraft desktop app out of date? i get different results on it than on raidbots

silk sundial
#

Imo archive > scent for m+

daring imp
#

both simming same settings? nightly build? @terse bone

terse bone
#

i have the latest one too... 801-01

#

not nightly

surreal rivet
#

@silk sundial no

terse bone
#

should i do nightly?

strange python
#

archive isnt better for m+ than scent

#

U literally get more agil by applying 3 ruptures

daring imp
#

it is if mobs die too quick tho

strange python
#

Well if the mobs dies so quickly, your archive buff wont even build up

surreal rivet
#

^

daring imp
#

it doesn't need anything else aside from being in combat to build u

silk sundial
#

I don't have a decent scent piece so I'm just talking out of my ass I guess lol

daring imp
#

up*

surreal rivet
#

Heroic shoulders from zul refuse to drop for me

#

So I’m stuck with 370 SB shoulders

wheat zealot
#

Im not a fan of raid traits in m+

daring imp
#

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 😛

cyan frost
#

does any 385 trait beat a 340 ss in m+ or nah

radiant carbon
#

seriously wish they just had the reorigination array auto applied on uldir azerite drops. so we can still use normal traits like ss

daring imp
#

maybe sob on high keys @cyan frost

strange python
#

When running 2xDD, should I go Master poisoner above Elaborate?

daring imp
#

ep

strange python
#

and toxic blade or exsang?

daring imp
#

your top 4~5 damage dealing sources aren't at all affected by mp

willow folio
#

I always seem to need more energy Venom rush even an option really/

strange python
#

@daring imp Oh, so MP only affects the aplied poisons

daring imp
#

and maybe pb i guess?

junior aurora
#

Go vigor and apply bleeds zac

daring imp
#

not sure tho

strange python
#

yeah was thinking PB

daring imp
#

ep affects everything

jade patrol
#

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.

daring imp
#

did you check overall damage on your damage meter addon @jade patrol ? when you vanish the "current fight" starts a new parse on it

wide gale
#

Do You I have To Activate Exsinguinate During Garrote's Subterfuge ??

wheat zealot
#

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

junior aurora
#

It certainly helps to line it up benzzz

daring imp
#

well, it is recommended @wide gale since it's the strongest ability ( with subterfuge on ) that you have

wheat zealot
#

The difference of raid buffs is about 3000 dps with a 1 target 5 minute sim

jade patrol
#

@daring imp Before the first vanish I am arround 10k dps. This feels very bad.

junior aurora
#

What are you simming at

wide gale
#

Sometimes I miss it by 1s Late , I guessThats Why I deal no Dmg

daring imp
#

no no benz

#

wait

#

you don't pop exsanguinate while you have subterfuge up

strange python
#

The opener is on the site

daring imp
junior aurora
#

Garrote-rupture-garrote-vendetta-mutilate-rupture-exsang

strange python
#

Galecaller if u have before exsang

willow folio
#

It that an opener for multiple targets? Why do I apply garrote twice so soon?

junior aurora
#

Yeah im using TB until i get a gc

daring imp
#

that's for raiding

daring imp
#

a.k.a. st

#

garrote twice so soon is to extend its pandemic duration to the max while within subterfuge buff

jade patrol
#

This is my M+ specc.

wide gale
#

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?

strange python
#

Its empowered if its cast from stealth

daring imp
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT

#

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

junior aurora
#

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 ??

daring imp

subterfuge + shrouded suffocation

#

subterfuge ( talent ) empowers garrote

nocturne gate
#

yo i guess people ask this 100000 times but how is my opener(and burst) with master assassin ?

daring imp
#

shrouded suffocation empowers even further garrotes cast from stealth/subterfuge

junior aurora
#

Depends on if you are using ss or dd shadow

strange python
#

@nocturne gate Sim yourself and look into APL

jade patrol
#

@junior aurora Are there any breakpoints?

junior aurora
#

No but exsang performs better with more haste

tranquil pivot
#

Gameplay with exsang feels so awkward for me as a melee... Oo

junior aurora
#

Then use tb

#

They perform very close together

crisp hollow
#

do you take exsang if you're running crimson tempest in keys?

wheat zealot
#

Yes

#

I do

#

Better priority damage than tb

junior aurora
#

You dont bother exsang CT but its good in m+ for priority damage

daring imp

Also for the energy

i gotta compare on patchwerk actually i have hella haste now but ive been TB for a while

mortal basalt

prisma monolithBOT
junior aurora
#

I find TB easier for raiding bc its less to keep track of but exsang with lots of haste is good af

wheat zealot
#

Tb outperforms on long fights, exsan is good for shorter fights with the big burst

strange python
#

Well it sims 400dps more for me on 5 minute fight

#

It depends on ur 2nd stats and traits

wheat zealot
#

5 minute fight tb and exsan about the same st, but 3 or 2 minutes exsan is quite ahead

#

For me at least

jade patrol
#

Mh, need to gather more haste gear. With PB and TB I am arround 14,2k dps

strange python
#

Yes but like I said, it depends on traits, second stats, trinkets

wheat zealot
#

Yeah, thats why i said for me

#

Always gotta simself

junior aurora
#

Yeah im not using exsang until i get gc, but shrine is awful

nocturne gate
#

the apl is so strange with MA and TB opener tb after vanish second time env and third time muti that looks strange

gilded oak
#

Is it a newly updated link this m+ opener? on 3+ targets?

junior aurora
#

Its not updated but its still true

crisp hollow
#

exsang still a small loss for me at 1.3k haste, 1.1k crit, 400 mastery and 164 versa

#

but thats probably cuz traits

junior aurora
#

SS increases exsangs worth

strong plank
#

after putting rupt/garrote on say, all 3 targets during cleave, do we FoK? or just pick a target and mut/env

TB alway right after refreshing Garrote and Rupture to get as many Envenom in the time frame as possible?

junior aurora

Pool energy first horkst

Just so that you can fit 2 envenoms in without being starved before you can do so

crisp hollow
#

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

lone junco

Run your sim and read the apl.

Is triple DD good or do we still want like 1 archive 1 laser 1 DD

lone junco

It depends on SS. Or Sharp blades. Or tb.

all +15/+16 jesus christ

lone junco

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

How do you sim yourself without RA buff for M+?

There is a button for "more options "

ive been playing with poison bomb this week, and its pretty strong

are you guys still runinng CT or Poison bomb?

wheat zealot
#

Ct all day

grizzled harness
#

CT

vital haven
#

flawless told me poison bomb is doodoo

#

so ya

#

ct all the way

wheat zealot
#

Ct will do 10% or more of overall damage, pb will do like 3%

vital haven
#

at leasst in m+

terse pawn
#

i do pb on tyrannical weeks

wheat zealot
#

Ct is still better

terse pawn

since the DH in my groups takes care of adds

crisp hollow

CT especially on kiting weeks

#

i was a skeptic too but god damn its nice

wheat zealot
#

Yeah pb is trash on necrotic

grizzled harness

Yeah it does depend on your comp

wheat zealot

Or sanguine

dark token
#

nah

pb op this week

pb is only like 3 seconds isn't it

dark token
#

trash isnt a problem at all

terse pawn

it's hardly an issue when kiting

dark token

bosses are like

lone junco

@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.

dark token
#

4 mins

wheat zealot
#

With shitty dps

grizzled harness
#

If you run with an Arms or with a DH ye

lusty dew
#

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?

terse pawn
#

i have a DH and a mage in my mythic group, so i hardly bother with ct

lone junco
#

If it's a normal 3t. Without prio. Jut ggg Ct. and read some tweets while it does work.

lusty dew
#

i also run with a frost mage so overall AOE isnt an issue

dark token
#

i run poison bomb on tyrannical, CT on fortified

mortal basalt
#

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 #?

dark token
#

best way to go imo

terse pawn
#

well you'd never use CT on a boss in the first place

lone junco
#

Then pull bigger. And Ct more non fort trash.

terse pawn
#

so pb wins by default for that

dark token
#

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

lone junco
#

Seli runs Ct on tyr. So take that for what you want.

dark token
#

like shrine

terse pawn
#

yeah for like +16 keys

Except kr.

As well as the last one on SotS

the hardest thing in KR is the gauntlet trash after teh first boss

I like Ct for kites.

Hentai dream

lusty dew

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

vital haven
#

it sucks because we were doing so well beforehand

terse pawn
#

wait what

lusty dew
#

ya just take your time with the last boss in siege, its very easy, but easily messed up by most groups

terse pawn
#

the trash after the first boss is gauntlet?

#

oh

#

the room with the 4 thingies

lusty dew
#

yea in KR's

terse pawn
#

yeah fuck that thing

vital haven
#

fuck kings rest in general7

lusty dew
#

entrance of the room is a pressure plate, when you walk in, thats what activates it

terse pawn
#

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

mortal basalt
#

does anyone have a weakaura for vendetta duration?

lusty dew
#

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

terse pawn
#

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

lusty dew
#

yup, so you get all dps on it, burn it then swap to gripping and then you won't be overrun

vital haven
#

hmm didnt knwo that

kind light
#

with the new trait nerfs and shit is SS still worth hunting?

terse pawn
#

usually someone is dead at some point on the third platform lol

#

and then it goes downhill from there

vital haven
#

we mainly had one dps on the demolishing and everyone else on the gripping

cedar meteor

must I have Achive active when I want to activate Array or can have other traits and Array is activated?

vital haven
#

yes @kind light if you run m+

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

vital haven
#

idk why it just feels weird to use TB on cd

versed finch

Then it's just maintaining rupture

hasty sparrow

yeah @terse pawn but if he has trouble atm, i doubt he'll pool correctly

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 = /

a boss knocked me out of vanish once

i almost just quit the game

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).

ahhh

ok

i was like "they are buffing it again"

lost sentinel

I am guessing the tooltip now affects the next 2 mutilates or something?

now says*

dreamy elk
#

No?

lost sentinel
#

it does though, apply to 2 mutilates, not one like the tooltip suggests

dreamy elk
#

Poisoned wire does? Or are you referring to the changed first strike (which now affects the next two attacks) for sub?

#

Er, first dance

lost sentinel
#

poisoned wire makes garrotte increase mut crit rating right?

solid parrot
#

yeah

hollow stone
#

Yes

solid parrot
#

based on my logs w/ 370 chest it's about 10%

vital haven

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

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

potent forge
#

So could you vanish after bexsang on opener

#

And have everything crit during exsang

lapis sigil
#

is SS still bugged? do your garrote applied while stealthed lose the buff if u apply another out of stealth?

lost sentinel
#

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

potent forge
#

Probably horrible though, would only be useful on pull to have the SS garrote crit the entire exsang window

lost sentinel
#

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

silent goblet
#

Hey guys, kick questions here. In MM+, should i use CT or Poison vial is ok ? Thanks !

daring imp
#

@lost sentinel just put overall damage

instead of the damage on a single fight

@silent goblet generally ct is best

lost sentinel
#

true, could have done that lol

will try it later when I am back on

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

silent goblet
#

@daring imp Thanks mate ! And so you're using it only for 2+ target right ?

lone junco
#

Poison wire doesn't give 2stacks per garrote. Just lets you stack it twice.

lost sentinel

I've been using it a couple days now, it gives me 2 per garrotte

lone junco
#

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.

fading spade
#

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

lone junco
#

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.

verbal nimbus
#

boy you cross eyed?

lone junco
#

Maybe.

lost sentinel
#

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

elder gulch

is shrouded suffication shitty? should i take archive of the titans over it?

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?

fresh coyote
#

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

fading spade
#

Boon is great for bossing this week with tyrannical

little sparrow
#

If you have 3x SS run gale and exsang

fading spade
#

And I like dice. At 370 it's one of the best passive trinket procs

little sparrow
#

It's a TON of haste, snapshots with exsang and makes your burst with 3xSS much better

fading spade
#

I only have a 350 gale. Feelsbadman

little sparrow
#

Farming SoS was terrible

fading spade
#

Yup

cyan frost
#

is SoS this week pretty shit?

fading spade
#

Was running 20 or more keys to finally get one

#

SoS isnt bad this week. Temple is aids

little sparrow
#

Groups and don't understand interrupts, people who don't get in discord so I can call their interrupts lol

fresh coyote
#

so I should run 3x SS with exanguinate and GCB/Dice?

fading spade
#

Yea @fresh coyote

lost sentinel
#

I ran 9 and 10 SoS this week, not adviseable

little sparrow
#

I don't see why you wouldn't @fresh coyote

fresh coyote
#

it's just a feelsbadman moment when you replace your 370 azerite pieces with 340 SS pieces

little sparrow
#

Probably PB > CT if you're really trying to push the ST damage also

solid parrot
#

yeah honestly this week if you have decent cleave with you I'm running ST

fading spade
#

I'm hoping yo finally upgrade my 340 helm

solid parrot
#

trash is trivial and some bosses are higher keys are slogs

#

on higher*

fresh coyote
#

fathoms is bad in M+ Im guessing

little sparrow
#

No

fading spade
#

I've only kept it cuz it has DD which works very well with TB

little sparrow
#

Nothing is "bad" in M+ but some stuff is just better

fading spade
#

Sorry to change gears here but I'm failing to see the disadvantage of 2x SS 1 archive in raid.

little sparrow
#

SS is still insanely competitive, unless your party is like 375 ilvl frost mage/hunter or something

fresh coyote

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+

little sparrow
#

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

@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

little sparrow
#

Please BibleThumb

solid parrot
#

That's tough to pin because it's comp and affix dependent imo

vital haven
#

i mean

solid parrot
#

Good ol fashioned think for yourself

vital haven
#

id be surprised to find and high raider.io rogue not running SS

tawdry breach
#

That would be awesome to have a pin for SS

little sparrow
#

SS is the strongest M+ trait because its versatile

cerulean seal
#

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

@cerulean seal Read the guide 🙂

fading spade

Same as sub. Mut generates 2 at minimum. Max of 4

cerulean seal
#

Alright! Thanks everyone 😃

fading spade
#

So if ur at 4. Envenom

little sparrow
#

I wouldn't be surprised If alot of rogues did, the trash isn't unimportant for timer, you still need SOME cleave

you need to use the NEW garrote @stiff vortex

wide hawk
#

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? 😃

No mate it was a joke

@stiff vortex try use abilities 😂

stiff vortex
#

but its not like i dont get the other % of my abilities ^^

inner pulsar
#

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

modest zodiac
#

@vestal venture @wide hawk I would say BlindSide is good on ghuun for last phase exec

wide hawk
#

hmm

vital haven
#

traits in raids just come down now to highest ilvl

#

in my experience

inner pulsar
#

Exactly

strange python
#

Not all

vital haven
#

which is kind of good? i guess

inner pulsar
#

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

vital haven
#

thats bad though imo

#

whats the point of the azeirte system then lmao

gusty spire
#

no

vital haven
#

just kill it with fire imo

#

give me back my tier sets

gusty spire
#

i was much more happy with Artifact weapon back in legion..

wide hawk
#

agreed

#

Artifact weapon wasn't perfect, but I liked the added abilities it gave you

gusty spire
#

i was.. 😃

#

more then now

lost sentinel
#

We just need more azerite pieces with more viable and more complex traits

gusty spire
#

good please no

vital haven
#

i just want azerite traits that change how i play in an exciting way

#

not fucking dagger in the back

lost sentinel
#

Yeah more complex

vital haven
#

at least we have SS

#

some specs every traits for their spec sucks

vestal wren
#

dagger in the back is slightly overvalued in the sim

wide hawk
#

I liked the big numbers you could get from stacking SB

modest zodiac
#

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.

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

daring imp
#

@gusty spire tried to, they nerfed SS when we did that ...

vital haven
#

and with the new blue post suggesting that they are gonna limit azerite reforging even more

#

imma about to go crazy

modest zodiac
#

Tbh I am mostly playing with Sin ST even in aoe fights and m+. Just picking CT instead of Poison bomb

gusty spire
#

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

@modest zodiac same here.. i just find trying play more subspec, too much time consuming

hectic add cleave sims taking ages doesnt help either >(

mortal basalt

thanks

#

Dagger in the Back have AoE-Potential?

#

should be better for m+ than DD?!

daring imp

is it on hit or on ability cast?

tranquil pivot

ability

gusty spire

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 😄

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+

lone junco
#

6t 40s patchwerk. No buffs.

thats your m+ setup?

#

you run tripple SS?

lone junco
#

yeah. with 3ss

cool

lone junco

#

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+

charred oar
#

ct?

vestal venture

or going MP

lone junco
#

read EP. read MP. and pick the one that buffs your Garrote.

#

garrote on 3 mobs > FoK > rupture on 3 mobs > envenom?

do . you need 3 SS traits to go that build @ Noobe

lone junco
#

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.

#

thanks

tulip wedge
#

do you guys like SIN in M+ ? I'm just keeping outlaw for AoE M+ fights and swapping to SIN for raid bosses

lone junco
#

its not hard to adapt.

#

get 3 ss. @tulip wedge then try again.

gusty spire
#

i have to ask.. which assassination you guys like more? Now or Legion?

lone junco
#

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.

nocturne mulch
#

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

gusty spire
#

i was happy with my high stack mastery sin on Legion, but now need so much haste 😦

lone junco
#

@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.

versed apex
#

Wait how do you restealth once a minute?

nocturne mulch
#

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?

lone junco
#

@versed apex kill mobs in 40s?

nocturne mulch
#

@versed apex that part makes sense, restealth every mob pack kill

versed apex
#

Ahh I see

lone junco
#

if your tank chain pulls for 6 mins straight, hid behind a rock and hearth out.

nocturne mulch
#

lol

gusty spire
#

😄 😄

#

i was about say something like that..

#

you need tank with brain 😃

lone junco
#

Im not even kidding. I missed one stealth and started to get flustered. missed 3, and I yell.

nocturne mulch
#

@lone junco is the consenus that AOE traits/talents are better even on tyranical week though?

lone junco
#

pb vs ct.

#

up to you and your group.

versed apex
#

That's like every other tank for me

lone junco
#

I prefer ct.

#

pb is small even on a good day

but w/e
