Wife Aggro. I didn't get to finish my thought. I'll check back tomorrow.

flint jetty
#

With the bot reply on SS is it saying to not cast unempowered garrotes at all or just to not refresh until it has dropped?

lone junco
#

Just let the subterfuge drop on all 3 targets before refreshing.

flint jetty
#

Yeah that's what I've been doing. Just the way it was phrased was kind of confusing

lone junco
#

It's a confusing bug.

#

Well. I didn't see documentation that they nerfed SS again. But if the did I have some 370 scent ready to go

#

It will be missed tho.

civic palm
lone junco
#

Idk. Long gone are the 22k then 18k crits.

flint jetty
#

Yeah it's been nerfed twice right? 40% each time?

civic palm
#

Well yeah but even the HD gains are 2x more than what Mallet shows.

#

11% and then 40%

lone junco
#

Idc about the stacks. Just the in game numbers.

civic palm
#

I can gettem real fast, wantem?

inner leaf
#

trait stacking

#

i dont see it

civic palm
#

Reload it a few times, showed up for me.

brittle juniper
#

So archive doesn’t stack either?

civic palm
#

The gains from 2 and 3 are much less than the first.

potent rune
#

did ss been nerfed again? last i checked it was mid of pack now its at the bottom

spice surge
#

No but the default talent changed from Subterfuge to master assas

#

As that is better for most high end setups. Thus SS (which benefits massively from subterfuge) drops down a lot

#

Which highlights why i dislike bloodmallet

potent rune
#

ah kk ty

spice surge
#

Herodamage is just far better, especially for rogues as the developers of that site are rogue theorycrafters

slim sand
#

I wish I could use Herodamage

#

Whenever I load the website, it just turns goes completely white

#

just goes*

severe ice
#

alot of ppl using haste/mastery weapon enchants? is that the best now?

flint jetty
#

I'm sure they're using whatever sims best

exotic glen
#

also all the theorycrafters are on this discord, and you can ask them questions about it in #tc-research

flint jetty
#

But mastery is worth a bit more in mythic dungeons and haste a bit less

sour trout
#

3x SS for M+ still best?

slim sand
#

Should I be using Marked for Death + Crimson Tempest for M+?

fathom echo
#

anyone know w hats better for M+ TB or Exsang

flint jetty
#

I think a bit of it comes bown to preference and traits. I've seen a fair few just using PB on tyrannical weeks or dungeons without tonsd of trash. I personally just use tempest for m+ I think exsang becomes exceptionally strong if you have 3 ss traits, but otherwise the difference seems to be pretty small

#

Personally I just use vigor in m+ still but im sure some people use MFD for the resets on trash

slim sand
#

Right on, man. Appreciate the help!

prisma crescent
#

Tempest feels so yuck tho

#

so much start up time

#

Its probably better but PB is just immensely more satisfying to use

flint jetty
#

It just feels so weak as a talent. I remember if you got like 3+ procs on pull when it was trait and you had 7/7 poison trait it just felt soooo good

royal vortex
#

correct me if this is the wrong place to ask but is there a good addon or a weakaura to show only combo points

#

checked wago but didn't find anything simple just for the points

flint jetty
#

Tons of weakaurs for only combo points

exotic glen
#

simplecombopoints

#

its an addon

royal vortex
#

thank you

exotic glen
#

np

flint jetty
#

That's a ling to some of Sppookie_'s rogue WA's

#

He's one of the rogues from method

prisma crescent
#

OFC Double Dose and DitB only drop from M+ Chest

dire spoke
#

m+ doesnt drop azerite

#

oke

flint swift
#

So I sim for 13.7 but I’m pulling 15.3 regularly on single target pulls. What’s up with that?

#

Are the sims not accurate for some reason?

astral sundial
#

shorter fights then your sim

fringe ginkgo
#

Man it's nice using mantle again in timewalking

flint swift
#

That makes sense I guess but I’m getting 2+ vendettas every fight. I’ll check specific logs for irregularities.

#

Although I guess it I’m simming for 5 minutes then 3+ vendettas would be cause for alarm

#

If*

#

Kk thanks

strange python
#

is the ravenholdt website outdated? seen someone say we use master assassin now but site still has subterfuge for the talent builds

patent tartan
#

you use sub now for SS trait

fathom echo
#

can anyone explain when to use exsang when aoeing how many ruptures should i put up and at what CP before i use it

arctic crow
#

it only works on 1 rupture and garrote

fathom echo
#

ahh

#

im guessing garrote 3 targets rupture 1 , then hit exsang then

arctic crow
#

ya pretty much

#

if you have an on use trinket, use it before exsang

spice surge
#

Tbf exsang does work on CT and Internal bleeding too, but they're pretty fringe cases

#

I heard it works on Rezan's fury too, but i dont have it so cant confirm

peak saffron
#

what ability do you guys tie your galecaller's boon to?

upper ether
#

I don't have it but I don't think I'd tie it to anything. I'd have a separate keybind for it. Seems risky to add it to an ability.

mild basin
#

tied bloodfury to mine

vivid wharf
#

hi guys

#

what's better

#

dead eye spy + phantoms
phantoms + lustrous golden
dead eye spy + lustrous

dead and golden = 365

frail gate
#

how we feeling about TW rings dropping with mainstats on them

feral spear
frail gate
#

blizzard gave us ilvl so we just pick the bigger number

#

easy

feral spear
#

probably worse tbh

#

it says right there 1% upgrade tho

frail gate
#

those are my legion stat weights from when I simmed back in 7.3

#

:^)

#

is there a general rule that we always want to have 1 SS? The QOL is nice, anyway

^^ ^ ^

silent dagger
#

any tips on sin arena? i seem to be stuck around ~1800cr with 370ilvl gear, ive got 1 SS and 2 sharpened blades. Is there are other azerite i should be focusing on getting to arena or those are fine?

vestal zodiac
#

Does the no SS opener apply to MA builds?

rich olive
#

@vestal zodiac If you are not using any SS trait then follow the other opener.

vestal zodiac
#

so it applies no matter the talent choice in 2nd row?

rich olive
#

Yes

vestal zodiac
#

alright cheers

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.

grand trail
#

Raidbot simming toxic blades better for.me than exsa..

late shore
#

same for me

undone cairn
#

gear compare does the same thing as top gear right?

icy temple
#

guys should we still run x3 SS in m+

strange python
#

yes you should

icy temple
#

if i have archive of the titans

#

and it mostly stays at +10 in a m+

strange python
#

@icy temple its uldir only

pastel vault
#

no the archive still stacks , but reoriginiation doesnt

icy temple
#

? its not...

#

archive works

strange python
#

I know but the rest of it is made redundant

#

Which will drasticallt lower its dps value

#

still x3 ss

#

is reorigination included in archive sims or no

vestal zodiac
#

depends which ur looking at

#

it says it on sims anyway

#

archive of the titans (no +) = no array

#

archive of titans + x (stacks of array) = array sims included

slim sand
#

I hope they make M+ drop Azerite gear at some point. My 370 uldir gear Sims higher for ST and AoE compared to my 340s, but I hate not having SS.

shadow pivot
#

yeah people tend to forget alot about ilvl. you'd ideally want to run 3x SS, but my 370 AOTT piece sims higher in both st and aoe situation compared to 340 SS so i'm running 2x AOTT 1x SS rn in >10s

undone cairn
#

are you guys using st for m+ this week?

shadow pivot
#

depends on your group

#

most of the time gonna run crimson tempest anyway cus rogues are not affli locks

#

when it comes to st boss down

slim sand
#

I'm running AoTT, Laser Matrix, and Rezans Fury on my 370s because the class traits on the pieces are less than ideal, Lol

undone cairn
#

yeah idk

daring imp
#

i'm quite enjoying exs/pb

#

prob would do a lil' better with ct

strange python
#

Gimme some weps pls........

daring imp
#

what the fuck

#

why crit above it all

lean kite
#

why does blood mallet say ss is terrible

strange python
#

@lean kite its mediocre. But still top tier for m+

lean kite
#

what about raid single target?

elfin harbor
#

Why Bloodmallet says SS is terrible ?
See #tc-updates for an explanation.
HeroDamage does not have this issue.

lean kite
#

so is herodamage more accurate than bloodmallet?

#

any reason to use bloodmallet>herodamage?

cyan frost
#

whats better 350 dice or 340 GC with socket?

bleak tangle
#

sim it

cyan frost
#

can u sim for m+?

#

whats the best way to sim m+

bleak tangle
#

sim options > hectic cleave

cyan frost
#

when you get a GC are you supposed to drop haste gems and enchants and go for crit/mastery?

slender lichen

daring imp
#

is gcb that good w/o using exsang?

#

@lone junco

echo hound
#

@strange python Thats a pretty impressive sim for 360 ilvl with low weps. whats your secret lol? i have 367 equipped and only sim about 500-600dps higher. running 1xss, 1 archive and 1 blightborne. Fathoms and Dice as trinkets

vestal wren
#

@lean kite well default profile made bloodmallet for sub quite bad for quite a while now, its fine now that we have sharpened not as top sim. This means the design flaw in bloodmallet is the methology that hes only using the default talents. In any case where the talents diviate to much it becomes pretty much useless for the majority.

vocal wave

Hey guys, I'm trying to get good at my Rogue enough to jump into HC raids with my guild and switch from my other character. I want to perform the best I absolutely can and wondering if anyone could have a quick look at my logs. Hit 120 a week ago and been playing mainly Outlaw for open world stuff, but now I have the weapons for it and some azerite traits, trying to focus on sin for raiding most bosses in Uldir.

#

MY name is Chaku. This was a pug normal run.

#

Any criticism and advice on things that I can do to improve damage would be great. The run was chaotic so I didn't get a chance to change talents to Exsang which I feel would be better for add switching

#

But I feel that I should be doing more than 46% of my personal ilvl

tender quail
#

guys... I just got my third 370 AoTT piece... should I run 3x SS (340, 340, 355) or 3x AoTT (370, 370, 370) with toxic blade. Raidbots is telling to go with AoTT but... in reality I found it weaker than 3x SS (but maybe i'm doing some shit rotation). Also I have 2x DD, but sims is always worse with DD.

civic palm
#

Depends on what you are doing and what you are simming.

tender quail
#

my bad... I'm doing sims for raiding uldir, for m+ i'm using 3x SS

civic palm
#

Your results would seem to echo reality then. Shrouded Suffocation requires using Subterfuge, and being able to re-enter stealth to make the most out of it (even though the APL and SIMc are not capable of doing so).

#

Therefore you should see better results in M+ with SUB + SS than most other options.

tender quail
#

So... AoTT 3x is the way ><

civic palm
#

For raids, that's surely possible, especially depending on the item level of your DD traits.

#

atm things are functioning as they should though, and item level seems to be winning in raids.

tender quail
#

340 azerite pieces with DD 😦

timber pewter
#

can assassins proc trinket with DoTs alone?

civic palm
#

Depends on if the trinket procs from damage dealt or something else like you "striking" the enemy.

#

Most trinkets will proc off you sneezing near the target.

timber pewter
#

Your attacks and abilities have a chance to ....

#

oops, probs easier if i jsut say the itemL Tiny Electromental in a Jar

rose wharf
#

SS still best for mythic+?

strange python
#

@echo hound Thx mate! IDK tbh

candid jasper
#

Does m+ award azerite items at the end of the dungeon?

strange python
#

no

rose wharf
#

only in the weekly chest

candid jasper
#

:/

strange python
#

^

candid jasper
#

So the only way to get 370+ is to mythic raid/pvp or wait for weekly chest?

rose wharf
#

ye i got 2x385 pieces with ss tho out of the chest

#

or you're lucky with procced items in m+ which i'm not

chilly oasis
#

interesting, 1x SS, 2x Archive

#

without array buffs

#

Btw, what is the opener for MA instead of SF?

#

I'm so used to pandemic garrote that my head hurts

civic palm
#

Just follow the APL for MA, works fine.

chilly oasis
#

Erm, APL?

civic palm
tardy ether
#

Garrote, Muti, Rupture, vendetta, vanish, TB, Muti, envenom

chilly oasis
#

Oh, thanks

#

to both of You

tardy ether
#

thats the opener that simcraft is using

civic palm
#

I feel like they use Vanish poorly after the opener but that kinda thing can be worked on.

tardy ether
#

yeah same

chilly oasis
#

but like, tb is yout strongest option after vanish

civic palm
#

Yeah but it's not always up and given fight lengths you might have to burn Vanish/Vendetta before you can wait on TB to come back up.

#

The APL will do things like Vanish and refresh Rupture.

chilly oasis
#

also true

#

I'd just like the SS to get back on the top, the opener was nutty

civic palm
#

Not happening in Raids.

spice surge
#

@vocal wave You should have 95%+ uptime on garrote & rupture on a fight such as fetid. You have 40% uptime on garrote, which is pretty bad

sick monolith
#

what are good azerite pvp traits?

vocal wave
#

I just found out that garrote is no longer from stealth, from someone else

civic palm
#

Check #pvp for PVP-ness.

vocal wave
#

So I'm a pretty big idiot.

spice surge
#

1 SS + Whatever gives stats (scent/archives)

#

It doesnt matter tbh

sick monolith
#

oh didnt even see that thanks

spice surge
#

after 1 ss for pvp

civic palm
#

Do note that DoT uptimes can tank if you're on something like Mother and Hitler (your RL) assigns you to the first group.

slim wigeon
#

just get a bunch of fok traits if you are doing rbgs lol

#

you can aoe ppl down like trash mobs

strange python
#

@rose wharf i hate you a little now.

#

Rng carried a f

spice surge
#

Yeah 22.5 yard range on Fok is just..silly....

naive trellis
#

Outlaw is king

vocal wave
#

Also, I swear, sometimes I can only seem to get 2 garrotes and a Rupture off during my subterfuge window. Are others getting 3 garrote during that time?

slim wigeon
#

2 garrotes and a rupture is 3 gcds

#

3 garrote is 3 gcds

vocal wave
#

Just felt like I was doing more ages ago, but maybe it's my perception

slim wigeon
#

you only get 3 gcds in subterfuge

kind crater
#

Can someone help me figure out what I simmed wrong here?

vocal wave
#

I was probably using another garrote then just as subterfuge ran out and thinking I was still using it in stealth, so fair enough

kind crater
#

Getting absurd DPS for my ilvl

#

oh nevermind lol

vocal harbor
#

how does stacking archive/matrix work? i thought you could only benefit from 1 reorigination at once

kind crater
#

it set itself to hectic add cleave for some reason

#

@vocal harbor correct, but the stacking agility/laser proc still stacks

wary anchor
#

cant wait till my exang sims higher

vocal harbor
#

does that mean if i can run multiple laser/archive traits, it's better than everything else?

#

because on bloodmallet laser/archive are miles above the other traits

spice surge
#

You can run multiple

#

But they are not that good

#

Reorigination array is good

#

Hence the +5/+10

late vessel
#

Or is it the second lust not effective on the players due to exhaustion?

spice surge
#

Its not effective correct

vapid delta
#

Anyone able to help me out with something? How are bleeds effected by bonus stats (such as trinkets and agi pot) - do I need to use before applying bleed or does it work per tick

#

Also I'd imagine the same applies to exsang bonus?

spice surge
#

They update, you dont need to pot before

#

everything is dynamic

dire spoke
#

exsa snapshots off your current haste value which is why you use items like galecaller before the ability

#

If you exsa before galecaller, it will still increase the number of ticks you get because garrote is still dynamic - the only thing exsa does is calculate how much it should reduce the remaining time by and factor the number of ticks into that timing

#

tl;dr The more haste you have before hitting exsa, the faster the garrote will be ticking

opal sphinx
#

what are the best traits for pvp/pve

dire spoke
#

You can find an order of stats from a basic profile in the pinned messages in this channel. You best should answer that question with a simulation of your own toon since it will be more accurate because you most likely have other items

#

PvP has standardized - afaik - the only thing to tweak there is item-level

mossy wasp
#

can someone give a quick explanation why the top m+ rogues are running low haste

vapid delta
#

@spice surge @dire spoke tyvm ❤

high siren
#

@mossy wasp mastery and crit hit harder on multiple targets

mortal warren
#

m+ = multi target fights = more ruptures up = more energy regen = less need for haste

dark niche
#

does assa work with 1 ss for m+? or 2+

#

around +10 keys

frosty gyro
#

I mean you don't even have to have SS

mortal warren
#

^the spec works ofc but you'll perform better the more SS traits you get "basicly"

high siren
#

I don’t run SS

frosty gyro
#

Stat procs are really good for M+ as well

#

Like Blightborne Infusion

#

Or Champion of Azeroth

dark niche
#

how does 1 ss assa compare to sub? for m+

high siren
#

tradewinds

frosty gyro
#

Oh and Scent of Blood probably aint bad in M+

shut viper
#

3xss still best for m+?

signal sonnet
#

any1 know if laser matrix breaks CC in m+ ?

lapis chasm
#

i have laxer matrix and archive as 2 of my traits, for my final trait i can choose between SS and Archive, what should i go for ?

signal sonnet
#

ss

#

u need to have at least 1 SS

lapis chasm
#

u sure about that ?

#

and another question about azerite, for the 2nd raw of traits, i got Earthlink - Elemental Whirl - Azerite Globules , should i got Eratlink or Elemental Whirl ?

signal sonnet
#

depends

#

for what content?

lapis chasm
#

M+ and raids

signal sonnet
#

i mean earthlink always sucks, so never that

lapis chasm
#

ok, so i got with Elemental whirl

signal sonnet
#

for m+ azerite globules

lapis chasm
#

i guess azerite globules suck

signal sonnet
#

no ?

lapis chasm
#

i see they are in the same spot as elemental whirle

#

if you got only 1 trait

strange python
#

Use 1 overwhelming and 2 heed if you can

lean hare
#

Coming back to wow recently, would you guys say overall assass has an easier or more complex "rotation" and management than outlaw?

strange python
#

All are easy.

#

Outlaw requires buff managing and thinking ahead. Lotsa variables

lapis chasm
#

i have 1 heed and i choose Overwhelming power over heed

strange python
#

Sin is about keeping dots up

#

And managing dots on multiple targets

lapis chasm
#

not atlow anymore

#

ok, now its better

#

so , you positive i need at least 1 SS trait , no matter if its raid or M+ content ?

strange python
#

Good to have for aoe situations

magic thistle
#

Okay is it worth stacking more then one battlefield focus traits? Doesnt anyone know how multiple battlefield focus traits work

vocal wave
#

Is Exsang worth it during low keys?

strange python
#

@vocal wave if you can get an empowered garrote and a 5cp rupture to completely finish during exsang then yes

amber quail
#

Well...is correct as opening: g r g m r galcaller+vendetta exg?
If not which is correct and after 45 how to prepare 2nd exg? Ty guys

desert hazel
#

I assume if you are running master assassin to vanish into tb into envenom?

#

actually would probably be better to mut tb envenom with double dose now that I think about it?

strange python
#

@amber quail you running SS traits?

#

Normally its g,r,g,vendetta,mutilate, r exange(gcb macrod into this) and if you are using cgb you just wait for the CD before next exang. Make sure you pandemic garrote ans rupture before using

#

Think like this. If you have GCB. Macro it with Exang. Showtooltip GCB and exang now has a 1 minute CD

long hill
#

So its not worth using exs without gcb? Its better to wait?

strange python
#

Exang snapshots so why use gcb unless its with exnag

delicate root
#

I delay my 2nd exsang by 15 sec to get gcb with it

Whats the Best trait in raids and m+ for sin now after garrote nerf etc?

delicate root
#

SS garrote still very good for m+

#

Is it possible to sim uldir traits outside of uldir?

#

With the default profile changing from subterfuge to master assassin is the opener affected? For non exsanguinate rotation.

Guys, I want to set it up so that my current Garrote WA changes is it's an emp one or not

#

I have the custom code to see when Emp Garrote is on the target

@opal sphinx Google wow 3v3 ladder and look at what other rogues are doing

#

Or even

#

Does anyone know the custom code to add an animation, like a bounce or something in WA?

#

@robust light that's feely craft. Only hold stuff when vendetta and vanish are off cd.

#

@spiral furnace yes. There is an option to turn the buff to 0

does the garrote bug also occurs on two targets?

#

if i've put a max duration garrot on a target then an add pops and I garrote it

#

If u do it all inside the 3 seconds, you can garrotte even 2 mobs,right?

#

yes yes, but the add spawn after the subterfuge window

why is shrouded suffocation so low on bloodmallet all of a sudden? i mean it's ridiculously low

#

Got nerfed

#

and that aswell

sand orbit
#

it got nerfed by 40%

#

not 99%

spiral furnace
#

Sims use Master Asssassin now instead of Subterfuge

sand orbit
#

i see

#

is the bug still happening though when you re-apply garrote after subterfuge all other garrotes start dealing less damage?

#

is sharpen blades still good?

#

@sand orbit bloodmallet sims only worry about the absolute best setup which takes master assassin and tb currently which ss is bad with. Use herodamage, ss is actually the top non raid trait for exs build

sand orbit
#

yep i got it

north terrace
#

Which honestly if you like the playstyle is just a bit behind ma/tb

honest iris
#

does two of the same weapon enchant not stack?

#

I never found an answer but assumed so since everyone uses one of each

true ingot
#

There is huge diminishing returns in terms of proc rate

#

To the point that it's better to use two separate enchants.

honest iris
#

ah gotcha ty

#

Is wanting to use haste enchants and all that up to date? I just got back to check the messages and looked at the pins as suggested.

Is there another boe trinket that is good besides fathoms?? Never getting luck with trinket. Got the 375 heroic warforged ghuun trinket but it sucks

I feel like struggling with my dps doing only around 10k single can someone check my armory if it just gear thing? (Simming slightly over 11k)

snow tendon
#

if you sim only 11k and your doing 10k thats releativley good,

grand trail
#

Yeah, I was more likely looking for advice which slots need upgrade most and which m+ look for

#

and not sure how much double pot increase dps.. since we r heroic I'm using old ones

#

Another thing is that TB is simming 200dps higher than exsa.. is that just that I don't have SS traits?

lofty sand
#

Thats around what you would do with your ilvl usually, we used to do more with SS.

twilit owl
#

What Azerite Traits are you running in Mythic + ?

exotic glen
#

triple SS if i can

lofty sand
#

triple SS is the best for M+ I think

yeah without a doubt

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.

compact bolt
#

Don't forget that bug

twilit owl
#

What about 1x Archive of the Titan and 2x SS? im Running also 3x SS

#

is it worth in m+ ?

lofty sand
#

Someone was saying they fixed it the other day, I haven't checked it myself but you should if you're running SS

#

Archive is shid outside of Uldir, you dont get the Haste buff I think

twilit owl
#

yea but the Agility is still on there

#

i heard is was really good , thats why im asking

lofty sand
#

Can't say it is, I use Archive in Uldir, outside I use Scent

twilit owl
#

Mh, Ty tho

lofty sand
#

you could run a sim with specific m+ settings and see how it goes, I think some people here have done it before

twilit owl
#

Nope. The SS bug is still Live, just tested

lofty sand
#

unfortunate, well at this point I think we're all used to ignore the 4th garrote until the others drop

#

so nothing changes

twilit owl
#

So annoying. Still not fixed after such a long time

quiet rover
#

so for m+ with ss do you just drop 3 garrote and overcap on cp?

twilit owl
#

ye

#

atleast if your running 3x SS. Dunno if its worth if you only run 1 or 2 times

quiet rover
#

ty

sterile tinsel
#

How come hero dmg has MFD listed so high for M+, is that what people are running now as Sin/Exang instead of vigor?

tranquil pivot
#

@quiet rover - You dont have the time to do something else. Subterfuge only holds on for 3sec.

haughty flame
#

guys please i need some help

#

if im not using any SS trait when in raid

#

what should my rotation be

tranquil pivot
#

Theres no time to use your Combopoints.

weak isle
#

Check guide

#

Without ss rotation is in the guide

tranquil pivot
#

There you go.

haughty flame
#

ty

#

so basically no change lol

Simple question - what does +5 and +10 stand for at the azerite traid charts?

#

The uldir trait

So it means stacks?

#

Guys is it better to run crimson tempest or poison bomb for mythic plus ?

little sparrow
#

CT for most dungeons

hushed pulsar
#

tank will be kiting on necrotic

#

so CT

signal sonnet
#

Yeah thought so

little sparrow
#

You only run PB on heavy boss dungeons

#

It's not that simple

#

On dungeons with harder bosses you want PB

signal sonnet
#

The thing is , on better for boaaea , and with tyrannical wouldn't it be optimal for bosses ?

hushed pulsar
#

It is that simple though...
Will the mobs be still? If yes PB if no CT

little sparrow
#

Sometimes the ST benefits outweigh the trash clear

#

If the bosses are difficult

signal sonnet
#

And what's optimal rotation with CT ?

#

With three mobs as an example- rupture > rupture > rupture , CT , fok > rupture > fok > rupture > fok > rupture (getting CT garrote and rupture up on all targets ?)

little sparrow
#

GGG CT

subtle imp
#

so are people just running two 340 ss in helm/shoulder and then uldir ss for m+

#

high m+

tranquil pivot
#

Garrote is way stronger than Rup, so 3x Garrote and then CT

desert pelican
#

on 2 targets fok always better than muti as cp builder?

signal sonnet
#

NOT sure

little sparrow
#

Pretty sure FOK 3+

frank shuttle
#

fok for 2+ targets for sub

#

3+ for sin

nimble bison
#

I though 2+ for sin aswell

desert pelican
#

th1s is why i ask, ravenhold says fok on 2, some rogues use fok on 2, some on 3 😉

#

didnt see myself fok > muti on 2, but th1s is coz my incompetiveness

exsanguinate, should you lets yoru bleeds fall off or

daring imp

ideally, yes dev

river echo

Yea -.-

tranquil pivot
#

exsang is based on mastery or haste?

nimble bison
#

Neither

#

It just makes your bleed tick twice as fast

#

Haste affecta the bleeds regardless

tranquil pivot
#

i thought that bleeddamage is based on mastery

nimble bison
#

It does, it has nothing to do with exang

tranquil pivot

hmm...

iron jacinth

exsang does no damage by itself

you can use it on someone with no bleeds on them and watch it do absolutely nothing

MfD or vigor in m+?

#

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xac5HPe_-CgXJo4yUiv_LJldqLu5WjPjUq9d0wRqmIg/edit#gid=0 im bit confused by the info under "Gameplay note" for exanguinate opener

#

exang around the 2:20 mark will still line up quite well

#

wont the second vandeta just run out by that time?

dense quest
#

You just wait and pop it together

carmine valve
#

so lets see, wait for vandetta vanish and exang to come off CD, and then I do Vanish Garrote Garrote Rupture Vandetta exang?

dark token
#

5cp-> vanish rupture garrote garrote rupture vendetta exsang

carmine valve
#

ahh

dark token
#

3cp -> vanish garrote rupture garrote vendetta mut rupture exsang

#

3cp w/ rolling rupture -> vanish garrote envenom garrote vendetta mut rupture exsang

#

0cp -> vanish garrote garrote rupture vendetta exsang

#

depends on how far your rupture is

#

and your current cp

digital locust
dark token
#

what is this

iron prism
#

No ss I guess?

daring imp
#

@iron jacinth try to delay TB less, your overall bleed uptime is decent, what is holding your parses back should mostly be kill speed

dark token
#

he has SS

#

really bad opener

iron prism
#

Well If he has ss ya. Isn’t that the opener without though?

#

Maybe I’m not awake yet and missing something

tranquil pivot
#

it doesnt matter how much i hit freehold, this fckn trinket wont drop for me! T.T

winter cedar
#

with gatecallers should you delay exsang or is not worth

hybrid chasm
#

I dont know if its just me but i noticed in M+ that i was able to open with rupture and still go for 4 garrotes in a row 😮

iron prism
#

Er

#

If you do 4 then one isn’t stealthed so you’re removing the bonus damage buff from all of them

lapis ferry
#

So the current go-to for uldir is 2x double dose and 1x archieve at +4?

iron prism
#

@lapis ferry should be yes

lapis ferry
#

How fun •_•

hybrid chasm
#

I know but I'm wondering as I shouldnt be able to do Rupture + 3 buffed ones ..right?

iron jacinth
#

@daring imp thanks for looking at it, so TB on cd?

vapid delta
#

@lapis ferry real ssumday?

night cypress
#

anyone know a decent place to give logs a look?

vapid delta
#

Any of you boys know optimal aoe rotation (for m+)

iron prism
#

Blizzard: azerite traits are cool because they can change your rotation and the way you play

Also blizzard: azerite traits which change your rotation and the way you play were too powerful, so we’re nerfing them and making passive traits with no effect on gameplay the strongest

vapid delta
#

Is there a threshold where CT spam > ruptures

lapis ferry
#

Im as real as the next person

#

Probably not matt, but not sure

night cypress
#

if you mean actual spam, you'd know it when you see it

#

but you're either gonna wipe on that pull or it'll die too fast

anyone know if cloak drops the debuff for orbs on g'huun?

lone junco
#

Saw some Vanish rupture exang talk. People playing Ns DS exang?

vapid delta
#

@night cypress so what is optimal aoe opener abd rotation?

lapis ferry
#

Never DS exsng

lone junco
#

What is the synergy trait for that?

night cypress
#

optimal opener is garrote garrote garrote

drifting bramble
#

lol

daring imp
#

@iron jacinth yes, you ideally wanna cast it on CD

drifting bramble
#

Garrote into Rupture Into Garrote

#

thatss the correct way

daring imp
#

if you need to prepare beforehand for it, like getting 3~4 cps to pop tb > envenom, do before it comes off cd

#

try to fit ATLEAST 1 envenom inside tb window

night cypress
#

we're talking aoe quake, so nah

daring imp
#

so envenom buff will be up

#

oy @lone junco , i get why gcb is great for exsang, but why is it the same for tb/MA?

drifting bramble
#

a my bad

#

garrote >garrote garrote > Crimson INto FOK ruptures

lone junco
#

I had a pull with 2nd dmg white.

vapid delta
#

Very intuitive tj

#

Ty

lone junco
#

Vendetta GC would still be strong without SS.

#

That's a much simpler sim. Doesn't need to stack with exang.

night cypress
#

bloodmallet is rating dead-eye above gcb

willow prairie
#

Hi guys, can't test it right now but i'm wondering something, if I put my dot on a target and during the dots I get an elaborate planning buff, will the dot do more damage for the next 4 seconds or do they need to be cast during elaborate planning to benefit from it during all their duration ?

night cypress
#

yes, they'll adjust with stat gains

daring imp
#

makes sense

#

thanks

lone junco
#

Tb GC would stab out some DPs.

daring imp
#

was thinking of putting plumage instead of it for even moar dmg on vendettas

lone junco
#

Tbh. GC in non SS. Is just a well timed haste buff.

#

Dice between vendettas. Vs use aligned with tb and vendetta.

daring imp
#

yeah but the point about melee being always top 2~3 damage is a great one i hadn't considered

placid elbow
#

I'm liking my Corpsucle better than GC.

inner pulsar
#

Said no one ever

daring imp
#

lul

lone junco
#

I like having one use and one proc or buff.

placid elbow
#

that and if you pop your GC and tank moves boss, it's poop.

lone junco
#

Sure.

daring imp
#

yeah that's part of why i was considering not using it

night cypress
#

aren't numbers on corpuscle just trash

#

its like 300 haste

daring imp
#

sometimes i find myself waiting ''WTF IS THIS STUPID TANK DOING, IS THIS A MARATHON'' or something similar

placid elbow
#

dunno maybe it's just me. With corpsucle, I average a higher DPS.

lone junco
#

Corpuscle is good for outlaw I think.

placid elbow
#

It's a poor man's Fathom IMO.

daring imp
#

lul

placid elbow
#

lol

#

in a two minute fight vs the dummy, it's like 2-4% of the damage

inner pulsar
#

It is good for Outlaw

placid elbow
#

so it ain't too bad IMO lol

lone junco
#

@daring imp are you on the MA Tb train still?

daring imp
#

yea

#

sims highest, like about 200 dps, and is a fun rotation

woven folio
#

has shrouded suffocation been nerfed already or is it "working as intended"?

prime brook
#

do i take hidden blades with 2x SB trait?

inner pulsar
#

@prime brook No

arctic ledge
#

if im in m+, and running CT, is it better to rupture 3 targets first and then CT or the other way around

light kestrel
#

Didn't they nerf SB into the dirt with the reduction of damage, and nerfing the benefit it got from stacking?

lofty solstice
#

Hello friends, picking up Ass for M+ gear farm, even tho im only really gonna play rogue for Mythic Zul. Ravenholdt guide says all three LvL 100 talents are viable for 5 man instances, but im wondering if there amongst the community is a preference to what is stonger?

prime brook
#

one SB sims pretty high

daring imp
#

@light kestrel 1x sb still does decent dmg tho, stacking is a no no, reduces dmg too much

prime stirrup
#

@arctic ledge I normally go 3x garrote opener into ct then fok rupture, i only use 2 foks in-between each rupture, doesnt matter what cp im finishing at.

light kestrel
#

That's what I figured. I knew it would get hit but had fun with 3 of the traits while I could.

arctic ledge
#

ahh okay its just about the energy regen even if they're 1cp ruptures

prime stirrup
#

if you FoK twice you will never have a 1 cp finisher. worst case is 2-3 but thats typically enough to get everything rolling. On fortified weeks it might be a little better to do 4-5 finishers. but this week shit melts

clever root
#

Ongbak, hows that rotation feel? and so you pref it for st vs mt with subt or what?

cyan frost
#

do you only use GC when EXang is up?

#

45s CD with 1 min CD so awkward

night cypress
#

i tend to align it with opener then on its own in the middle and again with vendetta

prime stirrup
#

I pop GC when i hit vendetta then i use on CD so it matches up with next vendetta/vanish

cyan frost
#

oh okay

What the opener looks like with master-assassin talent + tb?

whats the ideal setup for raiding now? still 2x DD 1x Archive?

strange python

@inner plover Sim and check APL

#

@clever root oh that one is mainly for raiding

clever root
#

makes sense, functions better than sub on st i would assume.

daring imp
#

well given i am not using any SS, it sure is slightly better than subterfuge atleast by simming it

daring imp
#

how many bosses is that

charred oar
#

6t 40seconds

lone halo
#

sim is saying my best stats are weap dps > agi > haste

#

gem for agi?

daring imp
#

i think you can only put 1 gem that gives agi?

vale scroll
#

yes only 1

lone halo
#

ahh that's why icy veins says that, i was curious

vale scroll
#

always get one if you can afford it

daring imp
#

tho sockets aren't all that common

lone halo
#

yep lucked out on one on a trinket

daring imp
#

and depends on your stat weights

#

sometimes haste outweights agi

#

i had haste over 2.0 for a while

vale scroll
#

yeah only st, agi helps for st and aoe

daring imp
#

now it's equal to agi in 2.01

vale scroll
#

but yeah depends on what you want

daring imp
#

( for raiding/st )

lone halo
#

thanks to you both, good info it is appreciated

river quarry
#

Simming about 14.72k at 371 ilv that good?

#

guys is 3x archive viable for m+ or should i get atleast 1 SS?

3x archive sounds mediocre

340 shrouded is better than 370 archive

#

For m+

#

even after they nerfed the benefit after 1?

what ? thats sharpened blade not ss

daring imp
#

@charred oar i'd turn off all raid buffs tho

maybe keep flask/food

I’ve simmed my character with 3 ss and it’s worse than what I’m using

glossy violet
#

I’m not using bloodmallet

daring imp
#

ok but

#

how did you sim 3x ss for m+

#

?

#

@glossy violet

#

@tall talon 3x archive for m+ isn't that bad, it's kinda constant "max" agi buff

#

tho the utility and overall contribution of 3x SS for killing all trash packs and for exs use is too good to pass up

tall talon
#

well i would only have 2x SS anyway since i don't have SS shoulders @daring imp

daring imp
#

well it shouldn't be an issue at all using archive on the other remaining piece

#

just try to make your tank both let you restealth and keep pulling fast so you won't drop its buff too much between pulls

west frost
#

wait is ss actually diminishing returns

#

did i miss a patch notes

daring imp
#

not that i know, no

#

aight then i will go 2x SS with Archive, thanks 👍

wait what about 2x SS and 1x SB?

you do whatever you need with 4 cp most of the times

there are a lot of ifs so its hard

triple ss is the best for m+

I have no idea with raids, I just use a mix of things with high ilvl

@daring imp Well yeah but it's getting frustratingly hard to sim these days

lofty sand

I used to go 2 DD and one archive for raids but I recently got a 370 SS

daring imp
#

not for raiding

#

i'd agree if you were talking about m+ simming

lofty sand
#

so im 1 SS 1 DD and one archive and somehow do more damage

daring imp

@_@"

#

Archive is super good in Uldir

#

Because of the array buff

dk will be forever meta unless they nerf it to the ground

strange python
#

haven't been keeping up to date with the traits, but saw in the reddit thread saying 1 archive 2 DD was BIS now?

lost sentinel

give shadow priest grip heheh

crimson maple
#

do you use crimson tempest on ST?

lofty sand
#

no

terse pawn
#

total shit like overall compared to sub?

daring imp
#

@strange python given high ilvl pieces, for raiding, sure

terse pawn
#

because i'm pretty sure i can beat my sub build in small cleave with just the 3 garrotes alone

vernal mauve
#

I'm confused as hell to about my talent build,stats, and traits now. Thought I was doing good then i started looking at other rogues who are running high keys and they have a different set up and pulling damn good numbers

strange python
daring imp
#

are the 2 dd higher ilvl than ss?

strange python
#

1 would be the same ilv, 1 would be replacing a 370->340

#

just for traits

daring imp
#

and they sim lower than ss?

strange python
#

370 chest and helm with archive, 340 shoulder with ss

daring imp
#

do they have the 2nd ring of traits unlocked?

strange python
#

tried replacing for 340 chest and shoulder with dd

daring imp
#

did you check other talent combinations?

#

wait you have 370 pieces

tight hinge
#

whats the best way to sim for M+

daring imp
#

comparing with 340 dd's

#

ilvl matters a lot for raiding gear

strange python
#

well that's why I'm asking, I can't get higher than 340 pieces unless from m+ cache, and I've been screwed 3 weeks in a row

daring imp
#

well we're all screwed on that man

#

i can't get anything higher than 340 to drop unless m+ cache

unkempt karma
#

Same here

daring imp
#

6 coins on fetid

strange python
#

I saw that 2 DD was better so I wanted to know if I should switch even if I drop a lot of ilv

daring imp
#

all ap

#

no chcest

#

chest*

unkempt karma
#

Just testing assa, I love the cleave bit subs burst I miss. Running 2 ss, and one arch.
Wondering If I should work on a 3rd ss

daring imp
#

they are better if you compare SAME ILVL PIECES

#

which isn't the case in your case

strange python
#

so always choose higher ilv?

daring imp
#

for raiding, USUALLY, yes

#

depends on stat weights/talents too

#

it's never a solo choice, there are too many parameters

#

unless you have 2x DD 385 pieces, sim it

#

for raiding

#

@tight hinge usually 3~6targets, 40s~1min

strange python
#

too bad getting a good azerite piece is so RNG - did a 10, have to hope I get not only azerite, but a piece I could use

daring imp
#

^

#

blizzard really outdid themselves in fucking us up with more rng than legendaries

versed finch
#

Yeah but at least it doesnt completely destroy your spec if you don't have a particular trait

#

You are gimped but not like it was

daring imp
#

we aren't destroyed

#

o_O

#

by not having ss on m+

#

it sure helps but you can still do great

#

the minmax is hurt a lot by the rng

#

for example

#

i usually average 13~14k with 3x 340ss

#

yesterday by accident i was doing m+ the whole day w/o them

#

and was doing almost the same

lofty sand
#

I thought he was talking about how punishing legendaries were

daring imp
#

oh

#

mb

#

lul

#

well in that case, yes

tropic heron
#

so is there any reason to not use deadly poison over the rest of the poisons?

daring imp
#

no

tropic heron
#

i thought the healing would be good for pvp but i just take the talent for deadly poison

terse pawn
#

1 deadly 1 instant

#

rip instant poison

tropic heron
#

o _ o

terse pawn
#

you want deadly on the offhand so you can shiv with it

gilded oak
#

for 3+ targets, the rotation is ggg, CT, TB, FOK FOK rup, FOK FOK rup?

tropic heron
#

do assassion rogues even have shiv anymore

terse pawn
#

it's a pvp talent now

#

and it just slows

#

which i guess makes sense since you were never really using shiv in pve

off-topic: someone else waiting for LOST ARK? :>

#

gameplay looks very tasty. .

i've played enough korean MMOs to know where this ends

isn't lost ark that diablo 3 wannabe?

KMMO is a separate genre for masochists and pedophiles

vestal wren
#

iirc most korean mmo's have the weakness of beeing to grindy

#

well wow is also quite grind heavy tho

royal lantern
#

wut, there is almost no grind req for wow

#

they turned that way down

vestal wren
#

depends hightly on the content you do

carmine valve
#

WoW is a big grind locked behind time gating

royal lantern
#

gear grind is not more then in other games....and thats basicly it? azerite is done by itself and you only need the first 2 traits on each pice(wich you dont even need too farm)

vestal wren
#

yes time gating is a way they use to impact the pacing

#

i agree, then more casual you go then less grinding is required

#

ap is tbh quite well this xpack, we dont run into big grinds there

royal lantern
#

ap was was such a bullshit in early legion

#

soooooo many maw of souls runs for ap

vestal wren
#

the power of traits locked behind ap was the problem

terse pawn
#

even ap was nothing compared to playing dynasty warriors on the same group of mobs for 6 hours straight in BDO

#

and getting 5% exp for it

zealous lily
#

neck grinding isn't really a thing in wow

vestal wren
#

if you had the top damage traits further down in the azerite piece you would have needed to farm IE a lot

royal lantern
#

thats why the important stuff is always the 1st unlock

vestal wren
#

as for now, they tuned it down to be extremely optional

royal lantern
#

the 5ilvl thing is only for unlucky people that where not able too get a new piece

vestal wren
#

well having the trait balance as is just means you dont care about unlocking higher tiers

#

what makes the ap system less enaging

twilit skiff
#

who is good at this spec and willing to help a sad panda figure out stuff?

I sim at 13k, I can only burst for 14k with opener then quickly go down to around 9k. This is on a training dummy so I am literally standing still pressing buttons. I do the rotation recommended in the ravenholdt guides, but still can't get closer to my sim numbers.

If anyone is bored and wanna watch me hit a training dummy and tell me what I'm doing wrong, would be appreciated!

kindred flame
#

You compare sim to results on target dummy or i am missunderstanding it

twilit skiff
#

yes that's what I am doing

meager knoll
#

I assume that 13k sim is buffed?

#

with flask, potion, bloodlust etc

kindred flame
#

You shouldn't compare results like that

twilit skiff
#

oh ok

meager knoll
#

select no buffs if you want to compare

daring imp
#

i wish for* a game with BDO's combat system and wow's everything else without azerite traits

royal lantern
#

isnt BDO unbalanced as hell?

meager knoll
#

the combat is nice tho

#

feels good

kindred flame
#

feels and work is not the samge thing

terse pawn
#

the combat feels nice, the server lag and class balance is ass

twilit skiff
#

@meager knoll is that no buffs an option in a quick sim on raidbots ?

terse pawn
#

also action combat doesn't work in large groups

meager knoll
#

yes, that is an option

#

click the button "Show more options"

daring imp
#

the gear is broken

#

combat is nice

twilit skiff
#

thx!

kindred flame
#

Combat is bad, PvP combat is bad as it gets you are dependet on other ppl connection aswell, BDO is the biggest shitfest

terse pawn
#

it was great if you were like me and rerolled mystic

#

just ignore everyone else and beat them up

kindred flame
twilit skiff
#

@meager knoll again tysm! apparently it is not me just being bad then, good to know

carmine valve
#

Does CT prio Rupture spreading in m+ when above 2+ targets?

#

when your running with SS traits

#

or lets just say 2 target

royal lantern
#

on 2 targets you just hold the CT dot up

#

so garrote both>rupture both>CT>envenom til stuff runs out

wooden pebble
#

So i wonder, do most people switch between sin and sub for M+ currently, depending on affixes and dungeon?

daring imp
#

i don't

royal lantern
#

nope

wooden pebble
#

Sub for premades, sin for pugs?

daring imp
#

used to do sub at start but when 3x ss were discovered o boi was i mad for not going sin before

cedar meteor
#

hero demage works ? he does not want to load a page

royal lantern
#

bfa sub feels so bad too play imo, im not gonna play that

inner pecan
#

@wooden pebble Most people play sin only

#

But sub is very good in a few keys

wooden pebble
#

What about Outlaw then?

#

Is that just, inferior?

inner pecan
#

it's good for low content

wooden pebble
#

Right okay

inner pecan
#

But when stuff starts living longer than Blade Flurry duration your AoE dmg is just awful

#

Good burst, bad sustained

royal lantern
#

outlaw has REALLY good cleave, but gets problems when stuff is alive for a long time and your aoe stuff runs out

wooden pebble
#

I have been playing outlaw for a week now, just tried a low key as sin and i was surprised a the AoE damage.

#

It was reallly good

inner pecan
#

Sin has the highest sustained AoE of the 3 specs

royal lantern
#

sub is perfect for fights like zul mythic(srsly, sub is made for that fight) but sin simply feels the best too play

inner pecan
#

Sub is also really strong in a few dungeons, if your comp can allow it

#

Waycrest, Tol Dagor, Motherlode are the 3 that come to mind for me

wooden pebble
#

Actually pretty happy Sin is in a good spot for M+

inner pecan
#

But sin is playable and really strong in every dungeon

wooden pebble
#

Neat, all i have to do is farm the Tol daggers now .

carmine valve
#

so CT only after applied rupture on both targets?

inner pecan
#

SS pieces are going to be the most important thing for sin m+ @wooden pebble

native mason
#

im trying to make the switch to sin from outlaw but its hard af trying to find azerite pieces with ss ;_;

inner pecan
#

3x if possible unless you have to sacrifice huge huge ilvl for it

royal lantern
#

you should learn too play all specs if you want too push 100% with the class OR if people cry enough and they kill 1 spec for a patch circle

wooden pebble
#

What is SS exact;ly?

#

An az trait?

carmine valve
#

Garrote trait

wooden pebble
#

Ah yeah

#

k thanks boys!

native mason
#

so switching from outlaw to sin, what are the first and basic things should know?

carmine valve
#

that you do not do the 4th garrote

pallid bluff
#

1.) go to discord 2.) check the pins 3.) read the guide that has all that information

#

and then when you have more specific questions that arent in the guide oyu ask here

native mason
#

i mean everyone has their own style of playing and people pick up tricks that wont be in every guide

#

for example not wasting combo points on outlaw wasntin the guide i had to learn it from someone else

#

with certain rtb buffs

meager knoll
#

maybe they thought it was obvious that you don't waste combo points

gilded oak
#

isnt the guide heavily outdated?

pallid bluff
#

as a side note the outlaw guide definetly says when to change your rotation based on RT?B

#

and the sin guide is pretty accurate for the basic stuff

#

which is what he was asking

native mason
#

all i was asking was basic stuff

terse pawn
#

all the basic stuff is in the guide

native mason
#

ok ty

gilded oak
#

except m+ rotation

pallid bluff
#

he wasnt asking that though. he asked for first and basic things

#

which are in the guide

#

if he wants to know about M+ stuff he can ask for that

gilded oak
#

i think rotation is kinda basic :p

pallid bluff
#

instead of just being general

gilded oak
#

like the first thing you do

pallid bluff
#

not if your in raid

#

if your in raid then the guide is fine

carmine valve
#

so in m+ 2 targets are up, garroting both on opener is fine, but should I go with CT above Rupture ?

pallid bluff
#

not on 2 targets

#

rupture on 2. ct on 3+
