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?
Just let the subterfuge drop on all 3 targets before refreshing.
Yeah that's what I've been doing. Just the way it was phrased was kind of confusing
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.
why is the second trait gain so small > _>
Idk. Long gone are the 22k then 18k crits.
Yeah it's been nerfed twice right? 40% each time?
Idc about the stacks. Just the in game numbers.
I can gettem real fast, wantem?
Reload it a few times, showed up for me.
So archive doesn’t stack either?
The gains from 2 and 3 are much less than the first.
did ss been nerfed again? last i checked it was mid of pack now its at the bottom
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
ah kk ty
Herodamage is just far better, especially for rogues as the developers of that site are rogue theorycrafters
I wish I could use Herodamage
Whenever I load the website, it just turns goes completely white
just goes*
alot of ppl using haste/mastery weapon enchants? is that the best now?
I'm sure they're using whatever sims best
also all the theorycrafters are on this discord, and you can ask them questions about it in #tc-research
But mastery is worth a bit more in mythic dungeons and haste a bit less
3x SS for M+ still best?
Should I be using Marked for Death + Crimson Tempest for M+?
anyone know w hats better for M+ TB or Exsang
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
Right on, man. Appreciate the help!
Tempest feels so yuck tho
so much start up time
Its probably better but PB is just immensely more satisfying to use
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
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
Tons of weakaurs for only combo points
thank you
np
That's a ling to some of Sppookie_'s rogue WA's
He's one of the rogues from method
OFC Double Dose and DitB only drop from M+ Chest
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?
shorter fights then your sim
Man it's nice using mantle again in timewalking
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
is the ravenholdt website outdated? seen someone say we use master assassin now but site still has subterfuge for the talent builds
you use sub now for SS trait
can anyone explain when to use exsang when aoeing how many ruptures should i put up and at what CP before i use it
it only works on 1 rupture and garrote
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
what ability do you guys tie your galecaller's boon to?
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.
tied bloodfury to mine
hi guys
what's better
dead eye spy + phantoms
phantoms + lustrous golden
dead eye spy + lustrous
dead and golden = 365

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
rekt dragomir
^^ ^ ^
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?
Does the no SS opener apply to MA builds?
@vestal zodiac If you are not using any SS trait then follow the other opener.
so it applies no matter the talent choice in 2nd row?
Yes
alright cheers
!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.
same for me
gear compare does the same thing as top gear right?
guys should we still run x3 SS in m+
yes you should
@icy temple its uldir only
no the archive still stacks , but reoriginiation doesnt
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
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
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.
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
are you guys using st for m+ this week?
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
I'm running AoTT, Laser Matrix, and Rezans Fury on my 370s because the class traits on the pieces are less than ideal, Lol
yeah idk
why does blood mallet say ss is terrible
@lean kite its mediocre. But still top tier for m+
what about raid single target?
Why Bloodmallet says SS is terrible ?
See #tc-updates for an explanation.
HeroDamage does not have this issue.
so is herodamage more accurate than bloodmallet?
any reason to use bloodmallet>herodamage?
whats better 350 dice or 340 GC with socket?
sim it
sim options > hectic cleave
when you get a GC are you supposed to drop haste gems and enchants and go for crit/mastery?

@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
@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.
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
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.
Depends on what you are doing and what you are simming.
my bad... I'm doing sims for raiding uldir, for m+ i'm using 3x SS
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.
So... AoTT 3x is the way ><
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.
340 azerite pieces with DD 😦
can assassins proc trinket with DoTs alone?
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.
Your attacks and abilities have a chance to ....
oops, probs easier if i jsut say the itemL Tiny Electromental in a Jar
SS still best for mythic+?
@echo hound Thx mate! IDK tbh
Does m+ award azerite items at the end of the dungeon?
no
only in the weekly chest
:/
^
So the only way to get 370+ is to mythic raid/pvp or wait for weekly chest?
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
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
Just follow the APL for MA, works fine.
Erm, APL?
Garrote, Muti, Rupture, vendetta, vanish, TB, Muti, envenom
thats the opener that simcraft is using
I feel like they use Vanish poorly after the opener but that kinda thing can be worked on.
yeah same
but like, tb is yout strongest option after vanish
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.
Not happening in Raids.
@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
what are good azerite pvp traits?
I just found out that garrote is no longer from stealth, from someone else
So I'm a pretty big idiot.
oh didnt even see that thanks
after 1 ss for pvp
Do note that DoT uptimes can tank if you're on something like Mother and Hitler (your RL) assigns you to the first group.
just get a bunch of fok traits if you are doing rbgs lol
you can aoe ppl down like trash mobs
Yeah 22.5 yard range on Fok is just..silly....
Outlaw is king
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?
Just felt like I was doing more ages ago, but maybe it's my perception
you only get 3 gcds in subterfuge
I was probably using another garrote then just as subterfuge ran out and thinking I was still using it in stealth, so fair enough
how does stacking archive/matrix work? i thought you could only benefit from 1 reorigination at once
it set itself to hectic add cleave for some reason
@vocal harbor correct, but the stacking agility/laser proc still stacks
cant wait till my exang sims higher
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
You can run multiple
But they are not that good
Reorigination array is good
Hence the +5/+10
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/q236XrGzpTwh8bmL#fight=32&type=damage-done
Was browsing some high passes for rogues and noticed that this fight lists 2 bloodlust usages. Is this a new mechanic, or what gives?
Or is it the second lust not effective on the players due to exhaustion?
Its not effective correct
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?
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
what are the best traits for pvp/pve
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
can someone give a quick explanation why the top m+ rogues are running low haste
@spice surge @dire spoke tyvm ❤
@mossy wasp mastery and crit hit harder on multiple targets
m+ = multi target fights = more ruptures up = more energy regen = less need for haste
I mean you don't even have to have SS
^the spec works ofc but you'll perform better the more SS traits you get "basicly"
I don’t run SS
Stat procs are really good for M+ as well
Like Blightborne Infusion
Or Champion of Azeroth
how does 1 ss assa compare to sub? for m+
tradewinds
Oh and Scent of Blood probably aint bad in M+
3xss still best for m+?
any1 know if laser matrix breaks CC in m+ ?
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 ?
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 ?
M+ and raids
i mean earthlink always sucks, so never that
ok, so i got with Elemental whirl
for m+ azerite globules
i guess azerite globules suck
Use 1 overwhelming and 2 heed if you can
Coming back to wow recently, would you guys say overall assass has an easier or more complex "rotation" and management than outlaw?
i have 1 heed and i choose Overwhelming power over heed
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 ?
Good to have for aoe situations
Okay is it worth stacking more then one battlefield focus traits? Doesnt anyone know how multiple battlefield focus traits work
Is Exsang worth it during low keys?
@vocal wave if you can get an empowered garrote and a 5cp rupture to completely finish during exsang then yes
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
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?
@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
So its not worth using exs without gcb? Its better to wait?
Exang snapshots so why use gcb unless its with exnag
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?
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.
340 SS vs 385 Dagger in the back for m+?
Ideally, what kind of gems and enchants would you want as an Assassination Rogue? Weapon enchant, specifically.
I'm not that familiar with it this expac.
?
Galecaller's boon
Ah thanks. I even have a 380 gcb and i didnt know... just didnt think of the name
Took me a second too
Guys, should I use Exsang on cd?
so i wanna hold it for 15 sec, si that what you're saying?
Is that feelycraft or has it been proven to be worth?
If I linked my logs is there anyone that could take a look and maybe tell me why I feel like I'm underperforming
Link and I'll skim through it on my phone, or DM me your sim wcl and armory
hey whats best talents for pvp
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
(a max SS garrote)
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
nice
why is shrouded suffocation so low on bloodmallet all of a sudden? i mean it's ridiculously low
sims don't double garrot
Got nerfed
and that aswell
Sims use Master Asssassin now instead of Subterfuge
i see
is the bug still happening though when you re-apply garrote after subterfuge all other garrotes start dealing less damage?
!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.

@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
yep i got it
Which honestly if you like the playstyle is just a bit behind ma/tb
does two of the same weapon enchant not stack?
I never found an answer but assumed so since everyone uses one of each
There is huge diminishing returns in terms of proc rate
To the point that it's better to use two separate enchants.
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.
So what traits are u guys running for M+ currently?
3x SS
Still farming for that SS head.. currently running googles
well yeah have to work with what you got
Head is only from Shrine of the Storm, right?
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
Anyone?
I’d rather buy one for now to replace this trash ghuun trinket until I actually happen to get a dungeon trinket
There is no alternative boe trinket, just fathoms
on 2 targets fok always better than muti as cp builder?
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)
if you sim only 11k and your doing 10k thats releativley good,
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?
Thats around what you would do with your ilvl usually, we used to do more with SS.
What Azerite Traits are you running in Mythic + ?
triple SS if i can
triple SS is the best for M+ I think
yeah without a doubt
!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.
Don't forget that bug
What about 1x Archive of the Titan and 2x SS? im Running also 3x SS
is it worth in m+ ?
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
yea but the Agility is still on there
i heard is was really good , thats why im asking
Can't say it is, I use Archive in Uldir, outside I use Scent
Mh, Ty tho
you could run a sim with specific m+ settings and see how it goes, I think some people here have done it before
Nope. The SS bug is still Live, just tested
unfortunate, well at this point I think we're all used to ignore the 4th garrote until the others drop
so nothing changes
So annoying. Still not fixed after such a long time
so for m+ with ss do you just drop 3 garrote and overcap on cp?
ty
How come hero dmg has MFD listed so high for M+, is that what people are running now as Sin/Exang instead of vigor?
@quiet rover - You dont have the time to do something else. Subterfuge only holds on for 3sec.
guys please i need some help
if im not using any SS trait when in raid
what should my rotation be
Theres no time to use your Combopoints.
There you go.
Simple question - what does +5 and +10 stand for at the azerite traid charts?
*trait
So it means stacks?
Yep
Guys is it better to run crimson tempest or poison bomb for mythic plus ?
CT for most dungeons
Yeah thought so
You only run PB on heavy boss dungeons
It's not that simple
On dungeons with harder bosses you want PB
The thing is , on better for boaaea , and with tyrannical wouldn't it be optimal for bosses ?
It is that simple though...
Will the mobs be still? If yes PB if no CT
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 ?)
GGG CT
so are people just running two 340 ss in helm/shoulder and then uldir ss for m+
high m+
Garrote is way stronger than Rup, so 3x Garrote and then CT
on 2 targets fok always better than muti as cp builder?
NOT sure
Pretty sure FOK 3+
I though 2+ for sin aswell
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
exang vs toxic blade, does it come down to having SS trait or not?
yes/no/depends on stat weights/traits/talents
!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.
when they gonna fix it tho ..
exsanguinate, should you lets yoru bleeds fall off or
ideally, yes dev
Yea -.-
exsang is based on mastery or haste?
Neither
It just makes your bleed tick twice as fast
Haste affecta the bleeds regardless
i thought that bleeddamage is based on mastery
It does, it has nothing to do with exang
hmm...
Can one of you rogue take a look at my logs to see if theres anything I can improve on going into mythics
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/35272901
Thanks ahead of time!
exsang does no damage by itself
you can use it on someone with no bleeds on them and watch it do absolutely nothing
do you guys run crimson tempest this week ?
Yes bigger pulls with kiting
!ss
Shrouded Suffocation

check the pin regarding SS >.>
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?
You just wait and pop it together
so lets see, wait for vandetta vanish and exang to come off CD, and then I do Vanish Garrote Garrote Rupture Vandetta exang?
5cp-> vanish rupture garrote garrote rupture vendetta exsang
ahh
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
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/kazzak/zantè what do i need to improve?
No ss I guess?
@iron jacinth try to delay TB less, your overall bleed uptime is decent, what is holding your parses back should mostly be kill speed
Well If he has ss ya. Isn’t that the opener without though?
Maybe I’m not awake yet and missing something
it doesnt matter how much i hit freehold, this fckn trinket wont drop for me! T.T
with gatecallers should you delay exsang or is not worth
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 😮
Er
If you do 4 then one isn’t stealthed so you’re removing the bonus damage buff from all of them
So the current go-to for uldir is 2x double dose and 1x archieve at +4?
@lapis ferry should be yes
How fun •_•
I know but I'm wondering as I shouldnt be able to do Rupture + 3 buffed ones ..right?
@daring imp thanks for looking at it, so TB on cd?
@lapis ferry real ssumday?
anyone know a decent place to give logs a look?
Any of you boys know optimal aoe rotation (for m+)
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
Is there a threshold where CT spam > ruptures
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?
Meh make your Warriors and monks run orbs
Saw some Vanish rupture exang talk. People playing Ns DS exang?
@night cypress so what is optimal aoe opener abd rotation?
Never DS exsng
What is the synergy trait for that?
optimal opener is garrote garrote garrote
lol
@iron jacinth yes, you ideally wanna cast it on CD
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
we're talking aoe quake, so nah
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?
I had a pull with 2nd dmg white.
Vendetta GC would still be strong without SS.
That's a much simpler sim. Doesn't need to stack with exang.
bloodmallet is rating dead-eye above gcb
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 ?
yes, they'll adjust with stat gains
Tb GC would stab out some DPs.
was thinking of putting plumage instead of it for even moar dmg on vendettas
Tbh. GC in non SS. Is just a well timed haste buff.
Dice between vendettas. Vs use aligned with tb and vendetta.
yeah but the point about melee being always top 2~3 damage is a great one i hadn't considered
I'm liking my Corpsucle better than GC.
Said no one ever
lul
I like having one use and one proc or buff.
that and if you pop your GC and tank moves boss, it's poop.
Sure.
yeah that's part of why i was considering not using it
sometimes i find myself waiting ''WTF IS THIS STUPID TANK DOING, IS THIS A MARATHON'' or something similar
dunno maybe it's just me. With corpsucle, I average a higher DPS.
Corpuscle is good for outlaw I think.
It's a poor man's Fathom IMO.
lul
It is good for Outlaw
so it ain't too bad IMO lol
@daring imp are you on the MA Tb train still?
has shrouded suffocation been nerfed already or is it "working as intended"?
do i take hidden blades with 2x SB trait?
@prime brook No
if im in m+, and running CT, is it better to rupture 3 targets first and then CT or the other way around
Didn't they nerf SB into the dirt with the reduction of damage, and nerfing the benefit it got from stacking?
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?
one SB sims pretty high
@light kestrel 1x sb still does decent dmg tho, stacking is a no no, reduces dmg too much
@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.
That's what I figured. I knew it would get hit but had fun with 3 of the traits while I could.
ahh okay its just about the energy regen even if they're 1cp ruptures
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
Ongbak, hows that rotation feel? and so you pref it for st vs mt with subt or what?
i tend to align it with opener then on its own in the middle and again with vendetta
I pop GC when i hit vendetta then i use on CD so it matches up with next vendetta/vanish
oh okay
What the opener looks like with master-assassin talent + tb?
whats the ideal setup for raiding now? still 2x DD 1x Archive?
@inner plover Sim and check APL
@clever root oh that one is mainly for raiding
makes sense, functions better than sub on st i would assume.
well given i am not using any SS, it sure is slightly better than subterfuge atleast by simming it
how many bosses is that
6t 40seconds
i think you can only put 1 gem that gives agi?
yes only 1
ahh that's why icy veins says that, i was curious
always get one if you can afford it
tho sockets aren't all that common
yep lucked out on one on a trinket
and depends on your stat weights
sometimes haste outweights agi
i had haste over 2.0 for a while
yeah only st, agi helps for st and aoe
now it's equal to agi in 2.01
but yeah depends on what you want
( for raiding/st )
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
even after they nerfed the benefit after 1?
what ? thats sharpened blade not ss
@charred oar i'd turn off all raid buffs tho
for that 6t 40s sim
maybe keep flask/food
They nerfed ss
I’ve simmed my character with 3 ss and it’s worse than what I’m using
read pinned
I’m not using bloodmallet
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
well i would only have 2x SS anyway since i don't have SS shoulders @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
not that i know, no
aight then i will go 2x SS with Archive, thanks 👍
wait what about 2x SS and 1x SB?

@daring imp nah in raid. I no longer need m+ pieces and I’m on mythic progression
I've got a question, I'm only at 16% haste and outside of Vendetta, my energy regen feels really starved. Should I focus more on elaborate up time or just pool more and focus on envenum buff uptime?
@glossy violet the guy asked specifically for m+ tho @_@"
you will never have enough energy to be pressing buttons all the time
pooling energy is aclass feature not a problem
I think ya misread the question
oh yeah true, my bad
EP is not your highest priority but you shoul be keeping it in mind
switching from sub to sin here, any tips and tricks for rotation?
M+ or Raid?
raid
archive, 1 ss, and 1 random pvp
So just focus on the elaborate uptime during phases of high energy regen and pool more when the starvation comes into play
thank you
Sin has some important moments you have to prioritize, such as exsang/TB windows
try to keep envenom buff
what should i do if I mutilate and only get 4cp
Read the guide
i have thanks
Well then you should know what to do
Yeah, I always pool for toxic blade window, I'm not new to "assass", but I'm not used to the energy regen feeling this bad
I'm asking people for their opinions
you do whatever you need with 4 cp most of the times
there are a lot of ifs so its hard
if you have tb and your next finisher is an envenom
yeah sin energy regen used to be a decent amount better in legion
yea
felt a lot smoother
i was thinking more along the lines of everything is in cd and you ahve 4cp, do you mutilate or just 4cp envenom
antorus sin was a mistake
you always finisher at 4+ cp
@strange python Why would u mutilate at 4 cp and potentialy waste 3 cp ?
4cp envenom if you dont have a way of getting that 1cp
does having my galecaller /use on the same macro as EXSG give it the haste boost ?
what are things we are allowed to talk about here
"read the rules"
"read the guide"
no dude
Your question is stupid because the answer is in the guide
your question is explained thoroughly in the guide
because what you are asking is impossible to answer correctly, its snap judgement that comes with knowledge of the class
This Channel is for crying only, after weekly nerfs
I'm seeing a lot of conflicting sources with SS... I read the update on #tc-updates but I feel like I don't know how to read HeroDamage or something. I'm just trying to figure out what the best combinations of traits I can use for M+ are... Can someone point me in the right direction?
sin is still insane in m+, feels bad
well end of legion with tier set it was a stupid overflow of energy lul
infinite energy
Or how much you hate that you had 3x shrouded suffocation and then the nerf hit you in the face
apparently 3x SS is still the best
@strange python then you look at top m+ bois and see 3x ss still king
Idk havent played since antorus
3x SS really? hmm ok
having so much of sin's power come from empowered garrote is insane lol
well many of them have some 370~385 piece with SS
but generally SS is still the best trait for m+
Hi everyone. I am new here.
10k dps for 356 ilvl its low or?
triple ss is the best for m+
And what about for raids, generally speaking? 2x SS + 1x Archive?
oh except his 385 chest
@quartz spear You can also go DD
3x archive
I'd still take 1 ss tho
Why would u go 3x archive though
I have no idea with raids, I just use a mix of things with high ilvl
Cause thats what sims say
I wouldnt
Idk but Archive + 2SS is better than 3archive for me
Listening to sims in 2018
@quartz spear 
damn the current #1 is all gemmed up with mastery lol
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
isn't mastery kinda shitty for sin now?
@daring imp Well yeah but it's getting frustratingly hard to sim these days
I used to go 2 DD and one archive for raids but I recently got a 370 SS
so im 1 SS 1 DD and one archive and somehow do more damage
@_@"
^
Ye talking about +10 on array
@terse pawn it's mainly good for aoe or some tb/ma builds with DD trait
makes sense
I miss tumna
it's crazy to see people with 375 ilevel still runing 340 azerite pieces for the traits though lol
even if the azerite system was balanced, they really fucked up the ilevel perception with those and with socketed items
streams 😉
musclebrah is pushing super hgh keys with triple SS
It depends on your group, do you have powerful aoe burst in your group? go PB for ST damage
your groups lacks aoe? go CT to help out taking down trash
I run with a arms warrior and a DH I aint getting CT this week
yea that one
i see blood dk is still going to be the meta tank for high keys
well i mean the grip is kinda the best crowd control out there
surely bress and the rest of the kit is good
but grip saves too much time
I still can't make sin work for me in m+...doing total shit compared to sub even with 3 SS
dk will be forever meta unless they nerf it to the ground
haven't been keeping up to date with the traits, but saw in the reddit thread saying 1 archive 2 DD was BIS now?
give shadow priest grip heheh
do you use crimson tempest on ST?
no
total shit like overall compared to sub?
@strange python given high ilvl pieces, for raiding, sure
because i'm pretty sure i can beat my sub build in small cleave with just the 3 garrotes alone
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
@daring imp I have 2 370 Archive and 1 340 SS piece right now, would it be better for me to try and replace them for 2 DD then?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/biZafsuUELQpJPTuYYCNER
I'm simming lower by 2.1% with those 2 replaced
are the 2 dd higher ilvl than ss?
and they sim lower than ss?
370 chest and helm with archive, 340 shoulder with ss
do they have the 2nd ring of traits unlocked?
tried replacing for 340 chest and shoulder with dd
whats the best way to sim for M+
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
well we're all screwed on that man
i can't get anything higher than 340 to drop unless m+ cache
Same here
6 coins on fetid
I saw that 2 DD was better so I wanted to know if I should switch even if I drop a lot of ilv
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
so always choose higher ilv?
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
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
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
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
I thought he was talking about how punishing legendaries were
so is there any reason to not use deadly poison over the rest of the poisons?
no
i thought the healing would be good for pvp but i just take the talent for deadly poison
o _ o
you want deadly on the offhand so you can shiv with it
for 3+ targets, the rotation is ggg, CT, TB, FOK FOK rup, FOK FOK rup?
do assassion rogues even have shiv anymore
it's a pvp talent now
and it just slows
which i guess makes sense since you were never really using shiv in pve
i've played enough korean MMOs to know where this ends

KMMO is a separate genre for masochists and pedophiles
iirc most korean mmo's have the weakness of beeing to grindy
well wow is also quite grind heavy tho
depends hightly on the content you do
WoW is a big grind locked behind time gating
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)
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
the power of traits locked behind ap was the problem
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
neck grinding isn't really a thing in wow
if you had the top damage traits further down in the azerite piece you would have needed to farm IE a lot
thats why the important stuff is always the 1st unlock
as for now, they tuned it down to be extremely optional
the 5ilvl thing is only for unlucky people that where not able too get a new piece
well having the trait balance as is just means you dont care about unlocking higher tiers
what makes the ap system less enaging
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!
You compare sim to results on target dummy or i am missunderstanding it
yes that's what I am doing
You shouldn't compare results like that
oh ok
select no buffs if you want to compare
i wish for* a game with BDO's combat system and wow's everything else without azerite traits
isnt BDO unbalanced as hell?
feels and work is not the samge thing
the combat feels nice, the server lag and class balance is ass
@meager knoll is that no buffs an option in a quick sim on raidbots ?
also action combat doesn't work in large groups
thx!
Combat is bad, PvP combat is bad as it gets you are dependet on other ppl connection aswell, BDO is the biggest shitfest
it was great if you were like me and rerolled mystic
just ignore everyone else and beat them up
I think this should go to #off-topic
@meager knoll again tysm! apparently it is not me just being bad then, good to know
Does CT prio Rupture spreading in m+ when above 2+ targets?
when your running with SS traits
or lets just say 2 target
on 2 targets you just hold the CT dot up
so garrote both>rupture both>CT>envenom til stuff runs out
So i wonder, do most people switch between sin and sub for M+ currently, depending on affixes and dungeon?
i don't
nope
Sub for premades, sin for pugs?
used to do sub at start but when 3x ss were discovered o boi was i mad for not going sin before
hero demage works ? he does not want to load a page
bfa sub feels so bad too play imo, im not gonna play that
it's good for low content
Right okay
But when stuff starts living longer than Blade Flurry duration your AoE dmg is just awful
Good burst, bad sustained
outlaw has REALLY good cleave, but gets problems when stuff is alive for a long time and your aoe stuff runs out
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
Sin has the highest sustained AoE of the 3 specs
sub is perfect for fights like zul mythic(srsly, sub is made for that fight) but sin simply feels the best too play
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
Actually pretty happy Sin is in a good spot for M+
But sin is playable and really strong in every dungeon
Neat, all i have to do is farm the Tol daggers now .
so CT only after applied rupture on both targets?
SS pieces are going to be the most important thing for sin m+ @wooden pebble
im trying to make the switch to sin from outlaw but its hard af trying to find azerite pieces with ss ;_;
3x if possible unless you have to sacrifice huge huge ilvl for it
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
Garrote trait
xD
Shrouded Suffocation
Lmfao
shuriken storm
shadowstrike
^ lol
saber slash
k thanks boys!
so switching from outlaw to sin, what are the first and basic things should know?
that you do not do the 4th garrote
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
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
maybe they thought it was obvious that you don't waste combo points
isnt the guide heavily outdated?
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
all i was asking was basic stuff
all the basic stuff is in the guide
ok ty
except m+ rotation
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
i think rotation is kinda basic :p
instead of just being general
like the first thing you do
so in m+ 2 targets are up, garroting both on opener is fine, but should I go with CT above Rupture ?
