You can run Exsg and PB together if you want to use PB for a certain key
ie. high tyra Temple/KR
Im not hatin', we homies. But does anyone else find it ironic that so many people in here take advice from a @lone junco?
don't judge a book by it's cover, eh? :p
Guilty of it. I figure he’s here everyday and has knowledge so I just trust him enough lol
Deadly on main and quick on off, or it doesnt matter?
He’s like a database, he retains and provides information quickly
doesnt matter
ok thanks
hey, did something happen to bloodmallet? or did I miss some new round of nerfs to SS? it's like one of the bottom traits now
is something wrong with the bloodmallet azerite trait sims? SS is like the 3rd last
SS doesnt sim correctly cause of the apl
That was spooky
bloodmallet sims also dont accoutn for restealths
at least for the aoe ones
ST its not amazing anymore
So there is no proper way to sim this though? even with the 6t 40sec sim?
the apl only uses 2 garrotes instead of 3
lul
so even on a sim like that its still not valued correctly
@hollow stone If I'm wrong on something. Lmk.
Youre not usually wrong, i just find it ironic that the noob is schoolin people on how to play lol @lone junco
I picked the name years ago. Self deprecating. Can't call me a noob if my name is noob.
but doesnt everyone call u a noobe?
Just checked. Not quite 100k
Was Noobey after a server xfer.
But re: my advices. I'm not a sim purist. I don't believe that there is a sim out there that exactly represents all fights. Engineering judgement is a professional way to say feelycraft. Or intuition Backed up by modeling and verified by actual results.
how do you guys deal with the actionbar swapping that happens with subterfuge? im kinda a noob
I put skills in the same spot.
^
Garrote is 2 in stealth and out
oh
i kinda liked having sap on 3 in stealth
but yea i guess ill have to put it elsewhere
you could also just put shit on completely separate bars that don't change. at least with elvui only the primary bar changes
so if I'm going for the trash killer build with exang + ct, and I have >3 targets of trash, invis -> garrote as many as I can with subterfuge, into CT + exsang? or do I put ruptures up before exsang
i have cheap shot in shift + g, not on the regular stealth bar
i tried that vel, but then my vehicle actionbar wasnt 12345
not sure if you pvp tho
just had to click the whole turtle water quest xd
Yea i use domino's and everything I'd like to see on bar 1 in/out of stealth is identical
and anything I don't need to see on "offbars"
i can't not see offbars, gotta keep using them toy macros
opie is life
what does it do? @_@"
Hot swap ui for macros.
oh
comes up when i press f6
100/100
nah probably wouldn't fit all the macros/toys on that
you can have like 100
yeah and they can get pretty big
100 buttons?
ok but like 30
how many toy macros do you have
opie huh
changes lives
lemme check
good lord
and i feel sorry for u if all of ur actionbars are covered with 30 different toy macros
yea thats the real question
all these toy macro's
are you getting paid to do shows
Whats the best m_ spec
all are basically the same
well all toy macros are on the main rotation to make sure i always use somthing
some are better at other things than others
i made a Switch Language Macro for my opie f7 on my Void Elf character so I can harass blood elves in pvp. best thing of my life
gotta have some use for them lul
IE outlaw is better at burst aoe, sub better at priority damage
if all rogue specs are teh same for AoE
why do both Warcraftlogs and this other ranking site have sin as #1 overall
is it just cuz more ppl play it?
oh im not tryn to say ur dumb
im dumb
i started playin a rogue yesterday
im just wonderin
sin is probably the most general purpose right now
pverhelmig power vs heed my call?
im talkin about this website btw http://mplus.subcreation.net/ also has sin as #1
what he meant with "all are basically the same" is probably regarding the overall output given its advantages and disadvantages over each other
^
@hollow stone And most of the people asking questions aren't on mythic Zul. So a lot of the high end responses go over heads. Not everyone has 425 days /played on their rogue.
probably has that ranking with sin at #1 because of aoe slow and overall dmg
i'd say mostly because of aoe slow, kiting is the best this week
so if you had more snake eyes traits just go outlaw?
@serene barn
if the gear yo have has traits that favor a spec better to just go that ?
ya but sin is #1 for all affixes as well if u switch to that category
oh i didn't see, lemme check
and warcraftlogs also has it #1 for overall
if you dont have at least 2 SS i wouldnt go sin
i just read "Spec Strength: Tyrannical, Raging, Necrotic, Infested" and assumed that's why it was on top
but all specs are viable for pushing and doing high keys
yea ^
yeah i have had 0 luck getting a single SS
slows also arent jsut useful on raging necrotic weeks
Fortified, Sanguine, Necrotic, Infested
tanks kite alot in high keys
also sub on top on Fortified, Sanguine, Necrotic, Infested
a week where slows aren't that good
or sanguine fucks shit up
i mean you can make it work
just ...
well shit lives longer on fortified so sub can just Shuriken storm>evis forever
don't use crippling lul
Where u guys check which spec is best für what affixes v
makes sense why it would be higher
some website that was linked higher up
id never seen it before though so not sure how accurate it is
http://mplus.subcreation.net/ not sure where this site gets those info tho, maybe blizz leaderboard?
oh
raider.io api
nvm then
yea it's credible, gives an overall idea of which classes are performing the higher keys
yeah thers alot more ass rogues in top ranks than sub or outlaw but thats probably just because slows are op
and our overall is probably slightly higher than the others for most weeks
and most dungeons
still SS/SB for mythic+ right
yeah i think SS is still substantially better
It's consistent that's for sure.
does assa work with 1 ss? or atleast 2+
It works. Raid can be 1ss 1ditb 1archive. Just needs to be your top sim.
for m+ aswell?
Is it fine to have in M+ 1SS + 2 archive or 2SS + 1 archive?
Which one is better overall? The sim is about the same, but what is the different
@flat laurel which sim did you use for m+?
Hi guys, 3 AotT sims 0.2% better in patchwerk style than one SS & 2AotT for me, but i still think its better in uldir to keep one SS if it sims only 0.2% behind, what do you think?
tfw pallies got better movement skills than you 
Yes keep one SS because there will be multiple targets on some fights
wait what
8.1 ptr
Is there any gear that's worth rerolling for?
As in, is there something that's simply too good to not use a seal for?
Weapons or azerite
and then cry when you don't get it but it titanforges to 380 for someone else
for sin? really?
Yea
the haste buff is massive for me
Since i have a 385 on use trinket already
Heroic/mythic mother for the dagger
Hey, what's the opener with Master Assassin?
Im rolling mythic mother
i would personally roll mother and fetid cause i only do M+ anyway but weapons are the main thing you want
fetid has a weapon?
No
no it has a SS azerite
The ss chest
oh
Good stuff
what's heroic, 360?
370
too bad fetid is way harder on mythic
Hope to get the m mother dagger on Monday 😁
jesus
About damn time
Might buy fathoms if the price is right
Any trinket sim lists with Lion's Guile in there?
Got a 375 one today, I assume it sims higher than Fathoms?
FINALLY got a 355 dagger out of tol dagor..... now just to replace the other one
Are there any ss Azerite pieces in uldir?
fetid chest
yes
Fathoms would be better than 375
Iirc, bloodmallet Sims lions guile but herodamage does not
so we go crit mastery for m+ right?
I use lions guile w/ fathoms
BiS trinkets :' ) Feeling good.
yeah crit mastery for M+
@pallid bluff I'm assuming that's Outlaw?
What do you guys reckon is the best Assassination build? Trying to see if I could be doing a better build or if I'm using the wrong talents.
for raid or m+?
Does bloodmallet use tb or exang build?
Uh... Raiding.
#feelsbadman 40+ runs in tol +5 and above no daggers 😦
nothing from reg mother or heroic mother I want to die
the best talents vary for raiding depending on your gear and azerite traits. sim yourself
I've been simming. Not working out so well. Sim data off of Raidbots told me I should be doing like 12K DPS, and I only do like 8K or 9K. So I was trying to figure out if it was something I was doing wrong, or if it was my Talents.
I have two of the three 'BiS' Azerite pieces according to Bloodmallet.
Well it includes lust all buffs prepot pot etc
Oh, okay. That's probably why.
it also assumes you are a robot and never have to move for anything
and dont make mistakes
@hardy anchor looking at Sims lions guile is bis for tb build and galecallers for exang build
what were you doing 8 - 9k dps on? was it longer than 5 mins?
lion's guile? where does that drop from
Dice is still better than guile
It wasn't specified from what I saw, other than that it was simmed based on a patchwork fight.
Where are you looking at
I'll do it again, sec.
Btw does raidbot quick sim include traits?
Lions guile/dooms wake. From the arathi world boss
I think it does? The 'Top Gear' thing seems to, when you're trying to compare Azerite pieces.
but I think that you need to have the Azerite Traits you would want to compare selected in advance.
Hero damage tb build. Dooms wake at the very top
@clever tartan you can check the HTML gear section and see what it used.
I simmed dooms wake a while back. It was like a 5% loss.
Maybe it's good for tb tho.
It's like 6th on the list with exang
Sim's done. It said it simmed a fight for three hundred seconds.
My 355 gc Sims better with exang
I guess that's also part of the problem, aside from my not using flasks and everything.
The fights would be longer than that.
Well. Sometimes.
three hundred seconds is a VERY long patchwerk fight
most fights that are that length have alot of mechanics normally and a PW sim wouldnt represent that very well
@lone junco on my phone so had to pull from armory
My main problem is that I can't even hit 12K again after my burst at the start of the fight.
I start out alright, and then it kind of just goes down the drain.
keeping up your rups and garr?
link logs from taloc or fetid
rups should never fall off
What ilvl are you?
Is it even worth simming for 5min if like every fight in uldir is way longer
link raidbots
When do we use toxic blade and when exsanguinate?
Lol my fetid fight in hc is 2 min
Toxic blade on cd
Exang same unless you can pair with galecaler or a garrote thats buffed
so opening would be garrote 5cp rupture exsan with gale?
Is it better to hold exang 15 seconds for gc?
Meh, it's sad :(
I try to, yeah. I keep my DoTs up.
It almost feels bad holding exsang that long for GC bu thats what ive been doing
351 equipped, also.
Dont we also hold exsang for vendetta?
and I don't think there's logs out there for this toon yet.
If you use exang on cd rather than holding for gc, you get an extra cast and it pretty much lines up at the 2:20 mark anyways
Hmmm ok, thanks!
Yeah. This character's never been in a Raid that's been logged.
I plan on trying to Raid on her more, though.
@lone junco how you do?
So I just got Galecaller's. On m+ trash do I want to get all bleeds up then pop it or pop it in my opener and get bleeds out a bit faster?
Can someone explain this? I really don't understand this. SnD for sin?
im assuming those are Datamined changes
evis is sub, first off
and by that i mean its just not reading it correctly
we arent getting slice and dice
the only finisher we have is rupture
Yea that would be odd
so i guess it does that?
no we have envenom too
only other finisher*
unless it makes your envemon refresh your envemon to max, which doesn't make sense
is that from wowhead?
Yea
yeah there are always weird stuff like that in the stuff they datamine
Hey guys 
Indeed, I guess we can speculate about a new trait that plays around SnD/RtB durations being refreshed to its 5 combo points maximum for outlaw. that would be interesting
Is Shrouded Suffocation still the best trait for Mythic+?
yes
yeah but with stuff like that all you can do is speculate
some of that shit may have been remnants from stuff at launch that didnt get put in, stuff for three patches down the line, ect
Yea, there are still so many class changes that 8.1 will bring which we know nothing about. I don't think rogue will see many changes, we're in a pretty good spot imo
So for M+ I want 3 Shrouded Suffocation and 3 Heed my Calls, right? For Raid and stuff I want Double Dose and Unstable Flames if I understand it right. Can someone confirm? 😄
Is the uldir traits like archive and laser bad for rogues?
Best to sim that @astral snow, but yes x3 SS for M+ seems to yield the best results
for M+ tou want 3xSS and the tier 2s are less important, heed my call is good, OP is okay
you cant sim M+ well in general and SS doesnt sim correctly anyway
I feel like HMC is better for bursting down groups
best bet is to just try different stuff
Does it not sim correctly because of the bug? Or other reasons?
the apl uses it wrong
Its interesting simc doesnt have any uldir traits in their tier list on their site
it only applys 2 garrotes instead of 3 on aoe openers
Oh that's weird
Is it because the raid specific buff doesnt proc on patchwork
and you usually cap after 2 garrotes
yeah but using 3 is the best dps
ik
guys at same ilvl what is better? harlan dice or constructed overcharger
sim, but dice likely is better
Imagine not simming
eveyrone would be trying to wear exactly what icy veins has out since we couldnt simply find out what was best
370 Dread aspirant medallion vs 375 contruct overcharger for m+? which u guys think is better
Dread Aspirant
Do you refresh garrote/rupture when it is ticking from exsang or do you let it run out and reapply?
let it run out
let it run out
If you refresh it'll negate the exsang
reapply at 0.1 seconds ideally
kk ty ❤
If it is subterfuge SS. Even the last tick is better than a pandemic.
Yee, I know to let SS die out, just never really researched about exsang. usually play TB
Ive been playing exclusive Exsang but now that SS got nerfed TB is going to be the way to go in raids for a good while because of how DD is going to scale with mastery, MP, and TB
run tons of mythic+ shrine get no galecallers.
run a mythic0 for WQ and get 370 version
#justRNGthings
damn nice
340 SS pieces, or 370 pieces with like archive/inevitability for m+
which do you choose.
whatever sims higher
you would choose the SS pieces
sims do not perfectly tell what would happen in a m+
maybe replace 1 SS with archive but ss still probably better
I need help any US horde rogue want to help me w/ tol daggers lol i am tired of this bs
+5 or so
see now if you had said +8 or higher i wouldeve been in
I have done today like 15 freeholds
Sorry, what's SS wrt Azerite traits?
not a single dagger or trinket
man my pugs I find sttruggle with +*
hey there whats the best assa trait for m+ atm ?
+8** so i been just going with 5's
Shrouded Suffocation x3
I rolled a 375 dice last night and almost screamed so loud I woke my wife up
still shrouded?
yes
thought it got nerfed hard
do druids have agi dagger on their loot tables?
dont think so
no they dont
but SS it's just for M+ right?
so just freaking rogues!!!!
i always run 1 ss no matter what
fuck
some people sim better with 1 ss and other stuff for ST but stacking them is mainly for M+
SS probably wont be any good anymore. Blizzard nerfed it by 40% again
just don't want to fix the bug? lol
ya thats what i ment
your dont know what you are talking about
its low on bloodmallet because its not insane on ST
it is still extremely good for M+
and they havent said anything about another 40% nerf aside from the one that is already in
It was on a german site
bloodmallet also defaults to the TB build now instead of exsang
so SS will sim lower still because it doesnt synergize with TB like it does exsang
also
sims are sims and arent perfect
yeah, but its like 13k iterations usually, gonna be pretty close to average
sure if the numbers for the trinkets are right and the apl is correct
which for aoe it is not for SS
so go with 3 ss for m+?
yup
just dont garrote a 4th mob
so you should use exsang on m+ then @pallid bluff?
I got a 385 chest with scent of blood/unstable catalyst, honestly not gonna bother to grind a 340 ss chest even if it was better
its not really much of a grind
Nah I know haha
Wrong term maybe, farm would be better
But cba to waste time in m0 for maybe a slight upgrade
Can't really sim it either, so I dont know if it is an upgrade
385 gives health, i'm gonna convice myself that's worth it 😃
so what's the rotation for 3ss m+? garrote > garrote > garrote > rupture > exsang..? I feel really dumb with this
Multitarget it's something like that into fok CT spam
G>G>G>CT>FoK>Rupture>exsang>FoK>spread ruptures
it depends if your garrotes apply poisons
if they don't you should rupture
Never considered that
do I take vigor still? talent build is 221XX33?
yup
will a 355 SS Chest be better than 385 Scent of Blood for m+ if i already have 2 SS pieces on head & shoulders?
For two targets with 5cp on pull, I go r, g, g, r, exsang on one (if you wanna use it on that pull). There are lots of scenarios in m+
told my friend ill be switching to a sin rogue, he said is it because i get to fall asleep during raids
meh
Haha, just because its low apm doesn't mean you can afk

@spiral furnace they are probably pretty close
i know, he was clearly implying its low effort
zodde if you are coming out of stealth its better to just use three garrotes
even if you waste CP like that
also how are you starting pulls with 5cp
in m+? Last pack dies, i have 5cp, pulls next pack
@pallid bluff more dumb questions, is it worth reapplying garrotte outside of stealth (assuming it falls off all targets so you odn't bug it)
shrug i never finish a pack with capped CP
just dump it into a envenom to kill stuff
Never in the history of playing has a mob ever died during gcd before envenom
Never ever
Maybe i'm misplaying
I think i'm just running low keys, getting dots up asap is important or everything just dies
Anyone know avg dps of sub vs sin in M+? Assuming 365 ilvl for both
what dungeon
@nocturne mulch not 100% sure what the exact optimal way to do it is but ive been waiting till there are 3 targets left and then starting to reapply if they arent going to die too fast. other people who do high M+ might have more insight though
What comp?
I think it's too broad of a question to ask, sorbitol
3 if all 3 mobs matter
3+ @vocal wave
I feel like higher keys, sin should pull ahead
It's sarcasm, theres no answer to that question sorbitol
Alright cheers
i typically do 13.5-14k overall sometimes more or sometimes less depending on dungeon. also depeding on how big my tank pulls or how much he fucks me out of restealths
lots of factors go into it though
hmm cant kill 1st boss in waycrest +10 fml 😦
366 in my m+ gear. i also play with a DH so shit gets bursted pretty hard
Bloodmallet says 3 stacks of shroud adds only a couple hundred dps..is this for real?lol
has shrouded suffication gone to shit? on blood mallet it is one of the worst trait. what happened?
Wtf
yeah i just saw
someone needs ot pin that SS is still good
did anyone do a +10 waycrest with these affixes ?
If you're looking at sims for m+ as end all be all, you haven't actually taken any time to consider why ss is good
Wouldn't the main value of it be the combo points gained rather than the damage
I think I have a 13 done this week kneti
bloodmallet probably did what herodamag did and moved to using the TB build as default
so its not going ot be as good
Yeah the 3 cp is definitely useful, but wow
What
Nerfed to the ground is an understatement
and its not just the CP. the damage is still the best in M+
my group cant get past the triad witches, rogue warrior hunter holypriest and ww monk. like wtf? first 50% easy then get heal debuff + damage debuff sayonara
It has to do with how does a sim factor in restealths as frequent as you do in m+
340 ss is bis in all 3 slots over any 370 piece in keys
sim does not support restealthing
so of course SS is massively undervalued for dungeon
Ah
whats a smooth haste breakpoint? 15% 16%?
@strange python is your group moving to keep stacks of the debuff low on the second witch?
we're jumping, no stacks :X
using defensives/potions to help the healer over the healing debuff
Ah ok thx for the info. I just wanted to see how much sin outperforms sub in M+ so I asked that general question. My assumption was that sub at 365 ilvl pulls 11-12k dps easily and sin at 365 ilvl probably 14k... Assuming average skill level
maybe we just lack damage? range from 9k - 11k
Use health pots/vial on nettles
If you're not dying to dire ritual
Then it's not a damage problem
it might the healer cant keep up
not dieing but getting hit by it 😄
Lust on that 2nd boss
yeah sounds like a healer issue tbh
Then your dmg sucks
U should kill before dire ritual goes off
If you hit dire ritual in a 10
well if your getting hit by the ritual your damageis bad
You have no dmg
that too
Someone might not be popping defensives and giving your healer a heart attack
nah if they are getting hit by ritual then the healer is gonna have a hard time staying ahead
okay 😄 funny stuff is everytime the hunter gets mind controlled he insta pops turtle
shits annoying
Yay that's annoying
i.o score goes up by doing higher keys?
Yah*. He needs to pop turtle before
you need to pre def cds yo
Mage has to pre block too
Yes, if you do them in time @grim mason
yeah get more score by doing higher keys and by doing keys quickly
By 10 each difficulty I think
its roughly 10 you will get more for doing them faster
Roughly but it's a ranking system, faster keys for higher levels are worth more
got it
Such a weird system for scoreing tbh
you still get points for depleting a key if you only deplete by like 10 seconds
ie deplete a 14 by 5 seconds and you may get 125 points
lol
You get points for deplete always, it's just worth like 20+ less than a time key
which is better than a 12
is there an
ideal setup
yet?
for traits
currently running 2x archive and 1xss
3x SS for m+
I thought you were scored compared to the performance of others in your role/class
Ew
i don't think it's weird, it just gives you better score to actually doing it inside the dungeons time
you can't tell me a group that took 10h to do a 14 kings rest deserve a score better than a group that did a 13 within +2 time
But tbh you could spam lower level myth+ then queue for a higher easily
^
You're rewarded for doing the highest key you can, within the timer
hello guys i recently have rerolled into assassination from arms warrior have been playing rogue throughout leigon i was just wondering whats the best traits i could get pre raid for azerite gear??
Are you going to be just doing raids?
or what are the best traits i could go for like combinations of azerite
no im going to be raiding definitely but mostly focusing on m+
Try and head for the triple garrote one, fuck I forgot the name, Double Dose is good ive heard to. Check the pinned messages up top and theres everything you need
Thats it ^
i have 3x shrouded suffocation and i also have x2 double dose
double does is better for raid 1xSS 2xDD would be better for ST 3xSS for M+
how would be an example of using the SS though
i just feel like i have no damage if i dont start out of stealth
like if the tank was chain pulling
garrote 3 different targets from stealth>crimson tempest>FoK till 3+ CP> Rupture a garroted target>exsang>FoK>rupture
you dont do any damage if you dont start from stealth
make the tank stop chain pulling or hang back to get a restealth
Are we still max garroting 3 and don't garrote a 4th until those fall off?
Tanks who chain pull w/ rogue is a dick and clueless
Did someone say that SS doesn't sim right using raidbots?
!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.
For those times getty I find outlaw pretty good, only really works if you know the tanks style beforehand though
I've been playing sub and st as well as 4+ targets it is simming higher than sin. Possibly due to the fact it is wanting me to use 340 ss pieces lol
LOL
when they complain I ask what about my restealth
If they ever fix ss theyll prob nerf it again also
Ok ty
@pallid bluff thank you very much
but i heard from one of the rogues that he doesnt go crimson tempst unless its a fortified week
do you use CT at all in m+ when fighting bosses?
no
Tbh i'm in early myth+ since I just switched to as and i've been picking up anything with a higher ilvl and rolling whatever traits I find, works deccent so far lol. Will probably start stat prioritizing around +7
Ct vs pb is dungeon/comp/affix specific choice
and CT is still better 95% of the time
how about difference between exsang and toxic blade?
Yeah I was gonna ask, is the Poison knife/Exploding bottle thing bad for myth+?
But youll be able to get more garrotes out while your empowerd are still ticking, fun detected. they can't allow that.
Ah toxic blade,sorry.
How is Sin doing insane burst/damage in higher keys compared to other specs? I want to the secret ingredient!?!
underrot?
Ct is pad dmg in underrot
Stab things with dagger to do good burst
Pulls are faster if you dont waste cps on it and instead dump into bloodswarmers
when is ct not pad
^

Every pull in underrot has 2 jobs max that need to die
And the rest are nothings, that die faster if you tunnel the important mobs
how about the difference between exsang and toxic blade which is more preferable and when
hey guys and ladys any one know off hand what bests trinkets atm
I mean I play just shy of 1400 and these are my thoughts on underrot
when you run ct do you make any other talent changes with it?
Take it as you will
exsang for M+. sim yourself to determine which is better for raids @lunar tangle
@ruby idol both definetly have merit and honostly the choice probably ends up being 1 or 2% dps either way
For M+ which sim do you go for hectic add cleave?
You dont sim, you feelycraft and stack crit :)
alright
Really just wear highest ilvl, and rings you can swap stats out depending on dungeons if you have equal ilvl stuff
Like trash heavy dungeons like motherlode you take off haste rings in favor of crit mastery
its also comp specific too, if you play with a DH and Frost mage. you can probably do to get more haste to help with boss damage since they will destroy trash
Boss and small trash dungeons like kr or temple you can run more haste in
340 ss sims higher than a 370 sob lol
Is it bad to have too much mastery?
Never really been one to juggle stats around much
for m+, it is good to have mastery
My crit just keeps going down 😦
470 crit, 1200 haste, gg
👌
gz
do mobs still dodge from behind? or is that an old timer mechanic
Did they ever dodge from behind?
also question regarding toldagor
mobs were never able to dodge from behind
is it common bug that first boss despawns?
you can still miss them from behind
@terse pawnwut? they dodged from behind like up until wrath at least
"Players can only dodge attacks if they are facing their opponent, however a mob can dodge attacks that are from behind."
asking if I'm gonna miss dps from not being behind the boss like you used to
does anyone know why lion's guile shot up to bis for us in the last day or so?
well from behind i think they do not have glancing
not entirely sure tho
You want to be behind the boss. They removed hit rating, however there are still benefits from being behind the target.
Is this the right talents for m+ and 3x ss traits? 2212233?
the more mastery i get
master poisoner starts to sim even higher
its already simming 230dps more than eb
yes @ebon prism
Ty
Guys what is the difference if I put quick navigation main hand and off-hand deadly navigation ?
you should also consider ct for your last talent if your comp doesnt have much cleave
so still crimson tempest on tyrann :O?
just depends on comp
okay
if im with a mage and any other class with decent cleave ill take bomb
pb for atal kr temple
like i said, just depends on your group
saw somone say underrot earlier
i think at the end of the day its just preference

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.
if you spec elaborate planning is it worth using a low cp finisher for more EB up time?
Oh no I only have 2x ss.... What's the best option for the 3rd trait for M+? I have like 12x 340 hems

Okay gang, so is Assassination still doing well for M+ runs or do I need to move to a hunter?
when were they not doing well?
did they change anything ?
3x's SS M+ rapes
Cool, thanks. I was worried with the nerf last week that 3x SS might change.
anyone have a good subterfuge WA?

delete what you dont need
If you're not running subterfuge and running MA, what do you use vanish for? refresh rupture? TB/envenom spam for mut crits?
what else are you using?
i run 2312221 with LM archive and twist the knife
guys i m in a very wierd spot atm, and i would love some feedback
refresh rupture with MA
f you spec elaborate planning is it worth using a low cp finisher for more EB up time?
MA Vanish should be;
down to 0-2 CP > Vanish > Mut:4/5 > ENV
Get lucky.
EP*
You can get lucky and MUT > ENV > MUT > ENV with the final ENV maybe in the window.
Do not use low CP Finishers unless you are refreshing Rupture early due to burst CD windows.
(Rupture DMG does not scale with CP anymore, so you lose no DMG from an early refresh)
so any1 fancy giving me some feedback with an issue i have with my gear?
What issues could there be?
aight look
check this sim. its with manually placed 4x Array stacks
but Array is giving me crit
cus of the ring i change
so basically the ring sims 40 dps higher, and even with array becoming crit its still sims higher
uhhuh
but should i go for it, or keep the array on haste
I doubt you see more than 20dps difference between the two since I am assuming your Crit and Haste weights are close to each other ye?

Thankfully this math is pretty straight forward to do.
right now haste is like 2.10 / crit 1.96/ agil 1.90
Yeah just see the differences in your two sets, and do some simple multiplication.
👍
You could also just SIM the two sets > _>
i have done that
Never played without exsang, but toxic blades is simming higher for me with 2SS/1archive. Is there any drastic difference in playstyle between the two talent specs? Is toxic blades a buff on myself or a debuff on my enemy?
Then just check your stats of the two sets in-game and add the array bonuses as you would get them.
The irony with Array is that even if it's buffing something you don't want, it's so fucking much of it that it's probably fine.
ye
i mean for now i will keep the haste buffed cus it makes the playstyle smoother
20 dps aint worth slowing down the rotation
once i get 1-2 haste itms from the raid that refuse to drop for me
i will get the ring up
TB is a debuff boxy
9 sec debuff
Kk thanks.
Yeah once you get "enough" haste you end up with like fucking 30% and it's zoomy.
and i m so glad i finally got lucky in arena
and i got 380 badge
like that trinket is badly broken
TBF it doesn't SIM like it's broken, so I dunno about that.
well it sims 200 dps higher than my 365 dice
and sims are patchwerk
msot bosses in the raid currently have burst phase
with extra dmg
sims cant take that into consideration
1700 agility lined up with vendetta
its kinda lot
is construct overcharger good even if it sims lower than fathoms?
whats the best way to parse on vectis. its the only fight i dont parse well on
guys, is that correct ? i thought that CT was only a dot u had to refresh, not spam. isnt better to fok-CT-fok-rup-fok-rup etc.. ?
is a 340 SS piece, better then a 370 non SS, shit trait piece?
like is there a way to sim that?
lmao that CT spam
wait what boss is this
zekvoz
holy shit lmao
you should follow it if all you want to do is cheese ranks
Is it possible he has high crit and several targets?
IE he's dumping 5 cps in one Fok
well zekvoz has tons of adds
SS nerfed? still okay for m+? its simming really low for me rn
ye but i meant, the instant dmg CT does, is worth spamming ? isnt better to rup every add and refresh CT when needed ?
that's what i thought
it depends on the amount of adds
SS still bis in mm+
obviously
I find myself spamming CT in M+ atleast and it does massive damage
Are those 1 point CTs?
Cause as I said, several Targets and Crit would make those 5 pointers
Or atleast 4 point
i guess it could be
Its very likely thats the case.
doesnt matter if its 1 or 5 points CT, since the instant dmg remains the same
Does it?
what
lol
Yeah you had me going "Am I dumb" there for a second
But yeah, I'm going to have to assume thats whats happening in that log
yes sorry :p didnt sees that "* 2" thing
the damage is multiplied by (n+1) combo points
few targets more than 1 and lucky crits
is a 340 archive of the titans better than a 355 shrouded suffocation for st?
Sim it. Also, is it your only SS?
nah i would have 2 with the arch
Haven't updated myself the past week, but has shrouded suffocation bug been fixed yet? 😦
no
??
does the sim take into account the the trait inside of uldir tho?
You've got to be kidding me
You can tell it to I think?
i mean
it's been a known bug
since mid-beta
Ah, im giving im
smh
Indie company, unlucky
It's gigaLowPriority, don't count on it being fixed for a while.
Don't count on it being fixed ever, actually
So how do we avoid the bug, just 3 garouts with ss and then let them time out before applying others ?
yes
Yes
wasnt that confirmed to be a dps increase no matter what by mystler as well or was it becuase of the bug?
@terse bone I was asking myself the same question today, not really sure if titans-trait is handled indoor or outdoor by simulations
whats the bug?
@exotic glen Pardon?
mystler did some dot sims and found out should always let empowered dots fully run out before reapplying
but maybe it was due to the bug
do you know mize?
yeah now that i think about it, most likely but idk
Isn't that old news though, or did Weak assume it in the guide?
it's due to the bug yeah
worth stacking for m+ still?
yes
appreciate the help, its my 4th toon
do you guys think it's worth it to swap out 370 DD for 340 SS to get to SSx3? What would be the proper way to figure that out via sims?
for m+
Just on a hunch, i'd say no. But thats just me.
I usually choose hectic add cleave and set the reorigination array to 0
ok, i'll try that...thx guys
You can see some rogue opt for the 340 piece over 370 for the ss trait
But personally I’m not about that life
They the type who sink with the ship
SS is probably strong enough.
does the interaction with envenom and poison application make it 65% chance or 80% for DD
"they the type who sink with the ship"
sure, r1 m+ player is an assa rogue with 2 SS traits
his ship sure is sinking
I’ve ran with people who think that and play outlaw
2 SS traits that are 340*
All the specs are close
If you wanna run 340 over 370 go for it #leet
+3 those 8 get fat loots
what sim settings are you guys using to sim for m+?
Definitely not the st stock sim
why i was asking
Look for the hectic button
still get haste as better stat than mastery
( Pawn: v1: "Slackrogue-Assassination": Class=Rogue, Spec=Assassination, Agility=3.07, CritRating=2.85, HasteRating=2.85, MasteryRating=2.50, Versatility=2.34, Dps=16.68, OffHandDps=0.83 )
and have 14% haste and 29% mastery
You should aim for crit>mastery in m+ - if running ep,exs & ss that is
crit>=mastery*
when using master assassin what should be the priority from stealth/vanish move
assuming no ss
a 5 combo rupture or just garrote?
Sim yourself & review the html file is really the best answer anyone can give you @tawny violet
i get that @rapid flame but was wondering if there was a why to get the sim to match that
honestly can't tell you, i've just seen better results in m+, stacking crit>=mastery & it's whats being stacked in the high m+ grps aswell for assasition rogues aswell - what traits/talents are you running @patent tartan ?
is there a trick to use fan of knives, constantly get like single combo points on trash packs in m+
Sacrifice cats.
hm, I really can't tell you why the sim is telling you to weight haste over mastery. I'd aim for enchanting your rings with crit & put a deadly navigation on your OH - and replace the haste gem with a crit gem - this has been a lot more succesfull for me & a lot of high m+ rogues are seeing better results - around 30-34% crit & mastery & 3-5% haste/vers
Masterful navigation on your OH*
What damage does yall's twist the knife trait say it increases by
Because mine sys 31
says*
does it matter where you have the weapon ench? doesnt you just need haste and crit, or do they need to be on the rigth weapon slot too
no, you have same proc chance on both weapons
figured so
Does anyone know if Azerite gear can drop from the end of match rewards in PvP right now?
i got some 325, cant remember if it was from end or the box you get
Yeah, that would be an important distinction
what's a good enery number to pool at for toxic blade? even using it at max energy i feel like i'm not getting enough mutilates / envenoms in
but i feel like that's just a matter of not having enough haste and bleeds / poisons ticking on single target doesn't give much energy
guys how many add in hectic add cleave sim?
You taking that statement back Twinkletoes?
atm just HecticAddCleave i changed to
was why i started with asking what others used for m+
try 40~60s, 3~6 bosses
( depending on your tank or teeming week or not )
patchwerk ( or light movement can be acceptable too )
ok gonna try 60sec and 5
that will be only towards m+ trash tho
then you'll have to decide
to go mostly towards trash or boss
but usually
you go spec'ed and geared for trash
yea, that got more "rigth" looking stats
( Pawn: v1: "Slackrogue-Assassination": Class=Rogue, Spec=Assassination, Agility=5.03, CritRating=4.87, HasteRating=4.02, MasteryRating=5.09, Versatility=4.26, Dps=27.92, OffHandDps=0.70 )
Anyone here play sin and sub
d
x
fuck oops
wait a second I dont see shrouded suffocation on Ass bloodmallet?
Looks like we are sinking with the deeps ship.
Did you sim it for yourself or are you taking about the dungeon sim?
i looked up trait stacking on blood mallet and SS is not even on that list lol
yeah well im looking at it right now and its there
Did they fix SS garrote bug?
no
😢
Just nerfed it into the ground is all
Live or ptr?
what r these scuffed blood mallet sims
lemme get my eyes checked.
yikes
It's actually just not on the stacked list though, haha
the trait stacking list right
