yeah you would CT and then get rupture rolling on targets while keeping CT uptime
if there is more than 4+ targets, do you still rupture?
@native mason you likely will want different azerites for m+/raiding, like, really different
I think ct spam is only if you already have rup ups and 4+ targets
we favor SS a lot in m+, while in raiding it's MOST OF THE TIME the highest ilvl
you can do fine with both pb and ct, tho when you get more crit/mastery and you don't have scent of blood, ct becomes a bit more interesting
!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.
also the pace is really slower compared to outlaw when we're out of cds and don't have bleeds on everything
always bleed the targets with most hp
PB is shit aoe imo because the proc is not reliable, it may help when you really need it or it may not happen enough
CT will always be there
i agree, the point is both are fine, one is better for st and the other for aoe/mt
higher keys favor a lot aoe classes because clearing high number of trash at once is prefered
Im running PB this week because my m+ group doesnt need aoe damage, we have adh and a warrior so I can maximize my ST on tyranical
bosses are easy compared to agro'ing 10 trash at once
but fortified weeks CT is just a lot better
CT is never usable on ST in m+ lets say a boss?
CT is not good on ST
can som1 explain me the opener on bosses with garrote trait and Exsanguinate ?
I think every opener s in on the guide
it's in the guide
what does it means when guide says Exang on 2:20 mark is fine?
@carmine valve well ct can be used on tol dagor's 1st and 2nd boss
GRGVMREVGG
its the timer, that meanst it will align with your other cds
exang on 2:20 will still line up fine
it means the exsang will line up when you pop cds the second time at 2:20
mb ty very much for linking guide 😃
otherwise you just exsang on cooldown
Do u always refresh Rupture 5 combo + garrote before Exang on CD?
or do you hold on exang untill you have to 5 combo rupture
doing gar/4cp rup is admissable too
but when you have the vanish/vendetta, gotta be 5cp
so a 17 sec Rupture on a target is worth overwriting with a 5combo rupture if the next ability you press is exang that just came off CD?
you'd have to exactly math it out to be sure with how much duration left it's worth it to refresh full pandemic
but generally, yeah
or do you wait that rupture getting to 7.2 sec
'cuz you're not only dealing dmg on ticks faster
you're getting more energy
more energy, more ep uptime, more dmg during ep itself
are the bloodmallet sims of azerite traits counting the reorigination array?
thats avery specific and very hard question to answer, do you trust us to give you a good answer on that?
I meant the rup question btw
@vast mulch i am not sure, i know herodamage is
oh well
there's the +5/+10 right beside the azerite trait's name
Ive had plenty of time when my exang comes off CD but rupture has still 15+ sec duration on mobs
so my wild guess is "yes they are counting the reorigination array" @_@"
terr
if it happened plenty of times and you noticed a patter then you should have tried different things and see the result
yeah, I thought something was stacking for the trait to do more damage aside from the stat increase
my bad
its part of getting better at the game is trying to iron out that sort of thing
sure
so your suggestion is not having 15+ sec duration of rupture when exang comes off cd to begin with?
oh boy wait until you get a gcb and ask around if it's worth it to delay exs or not and people start giving out different answers
its a valid question though just would take some annoying calculation to answer
colegro, the general rule is to refresh rupture/garrote before popping exs
we can't know for sure
exactly how much
the duration left
is worth it or not
to do a 5cp
'cuz of procs/etc.
Dont it comes down to "hold of exang as much as you can afford as long as you manage to line it up good with the next vandetta/vanish cycle"?
but assume that if you just refreshed a full 5cp rupture
it also depends if delaying your exsang would actually hurt one future alignment it had with other buffs
a day has passed and didn't update..
if my rupture is ending and exs is like ~10s away from cd
i do a 3cp rupture
and a 5cp right before exs
but to get the hang of that you'll need to watch it out constantly
ok

then you reapply them
RIght now haste is worth more than agility for me, I hope that changes if I get haste trinket from Shrine, galecaller boon
probably will even out stuff better
All these changes to our class and nerfs making it hard to stay current on which Azerite pieces I need to be hunting since SS is buried.
Is bloodmallet still best source for truth data on best traits?
You had a look at #tc-updates ?
also that ☝
I prefer herodmg
It tells you what azerite trait works well and what talent they simmed it with
370 Plumage sims like 0.3% less than Galecaller's for me, and you never have to worry about forced to move out of it. I was hyped to get GC but I hate using it honestly .
Hmm thanks for info now just gotta farm for the gear with correct traits now.
gcb for exs use is too cool to pass up tho
quick question, is the game showing bag or equipped ilvl when u queue up for something?
Bag for dungeon finder so i assume bag all the time?
I wish I could replace my galecaller I sometimes think they are not worth the trouble, specially in places that we have to move
@lean anvil That's what I'm suspecting but a friend of mine is really determined that it's showing equipped, just wanted to verify and see if someone in here was 100% certain 😛
Let him start a group and apply to it
Fuck galecallera
Deadeye spy glass and azerok trinket for life in m+
Also I need a plume
Is assassination the preferred choice for pushing mythic+?
It's preference
Sin is more prior dmg and super consistent boss dmg. Whereas outlaw just dumpsters aoe and rng in bosses
Pvp has it's own channel
Why would you want Azerokks
@vast mulch the add-on updates daily while the website is updated constantly as new runs are posted.
did i gather correctly that stacking SS is still worth it for m+?
when to use galecallers in opener for ST ?
@pliant nest ye
right before i use my exsanguinate ?
Probably in the opener
You could just gar-rup-gar-galecallers-mutilate-rup-exsang
idk if galecallers shares GCD since ive never had it
nah no GCD on use
Is there any consensus on 3rd ring traits? Or does it not matter so much?
I mostly just want to grab Longstrider tbh
longstrider as melee, impassive visage, resounding protection are pretty good ones
Alright, cool, that's pretty much exactly what I expected
for pvp there are some others that are viable too
why does herodamage use master assassin for talents?
if I play exang, should I take crimson?
Click the Exsg category
But technically master assassin is capable of the highest damage with the right setup now
but what if use tb and subterfuge lol
If you are looking at the Boss/1T SIMs the website will usually be using the highest DPS talent options that they have found. @lean kite
Whoa. Lions guile ahead out of nowhere
Are the bloodmallet trinket sims trustworthy?
Are they very different from other charts?
Hero damage shows the same. It's tb only, it's 6th for exang
Yep.
Make sure to take note of talents taken as there are new winners and charts will reflect that.
GC is too good for m+ open. Every pull. Every st prio.
What settings do you use to sim m+?
How many targets / minutes?
Hey, i need a guiding cos i fallowed http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ rotatio and my dps is bad, sims says i should do 12.5k. I do 8-10K most of time, only when have all CDs and lust going the dps jumps for short of time up to 14-18k . Also there is many telling me to use toxic blade and some says use Exsanguinate. Also Master Poisoner and if have a lot haste Elaborate Planning <---- is this correct. I feel little bit confused. Pls pm me privet or here with good explanations. I have atm 356 item lvl 20% crit,14%haste,30% mastery and 3% versa.
With tanks kiting everything in high m+ for necrotic stacks, I wonder why gcb is still the best
Almost feels like a handicap
So unless im missing something... I have yet to find anything definitive, but is 3 SS still worth it for M+?
I’ve been playing sub in raids but need to have a better setup for m+.
Since I have better traits for sub atm and I want to grab good ones for sin too.
Because the APL and SIMC don't magically simulate your dynamic encounter scenario > _>
and by don't I mean CAN NOT.
I've seen a lot of top m+ rogues doing Double SS 1 Archive.
I'm considering trying that out later tonight.
Interesting.
inb4 stats R gud
On M+ or uldir?
M+
Yea I need to find 340 pieces with SS I have the archive.
What is SS ?
Shrouded Suffocation
Isn't scent of blood best for M+ ATM?
Garrote trait
I have it
Scent is good if you are doing encounters where you do not enter stealth.
Scent is still very good but it's not THAT good
I prefer having atleast 1 SS since i got so used to the rotation with 3cp opener.
I mean...herodamage places scent top tier for M+. But im not entirely sure how that sin works.
so what you think what should i use [Elaborate Planning] or Master Poisoner, and and toxic blade or exsanguinate ?
You can't just look at the hero damage stuff you have to use your head too.
Sim*
The APL and SIMc does not re-enter stealth, so SS is undervalued.
I mean you have to know how things work as well O _O which isn't obvious.
Read #tc-updates when there are updates so you don't fall into mistakes like this.
Yeah but like my triple SS outsims Archive for m+ but it probably doesnt take into account the stats not needing to rebuild from scratch all the time.
I wonder how I could simulate it though.
@pallid spruce play Elab/TB/PB, standard build.
Have you tried checking yourself on wowanalyzer?
Can provide alot of information my friend!
Maybe assume 15 stacks on average throughout the dungeon without much tank downtime.
Decays pretty slowly.
I saw somebody do the underrot skip after hitting a turnip dummy and it only went down to 13.
🤔
heh
Yeah but my two varying setups would be 385 SS and 2x 340 SS -or- 340/385 SS and 370 Archive.
I want to try out the archive to see if that agility is better overall.
Yeah
and a lot of HP
Yeah
mmm
I just feel like I'm tyrannical leak might as well run the stats.
On*
Speaking of setups, I need to set my raid build to use MA I guess.
Raid traits are 370 Archive 385 DD 385 DiTB
Is Blindside good on Taloc due to long execuite phasE?
Just remember that dagger is valued on always being behind the target.
Well that's usually where I try to be haha.
I know, it's just not always possible.
I can't actually remember what the assassination specific trait is on the cephalohide jacket
....
TtK
Twist I think?
On the Ceph Jacket
That probably wouldn't be terrible with the 385 double dose but I'm pretty sure it's a bit behind.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qwYb7ntJwKkVpCxyn9B6D1 Is this low because traits? or itemization
You do have 6 pieces with either mastery or vers. on them.
and Shrouded Suffocation isn't the king in Single Target anymore.
Rezan's sims well so it's not that.
What do the +10 and +5 mean?
triple Heed is fine as well.
Stacks of reorigination array. We are currently at 4
¯_(ツ)_/¯
mhh,but what are the best traits for m+?
oh well,have none of those
@fossil agate What are you current stat weights?
@fossil agate This is not low and it matches your item level so do not worry...
Yeah I don't think it's low and there's nothing really WRONG.
get a galecallers
or get rid of that 1 SS you have > _>
Why are people using deadeye spyglass and lustrous golden plummage for m+
I see a lot of high ranked rogues using that combo
Consistency?
SS is still king for m+
i just simmed golden and spyglass vs gale and dice for m+
i use spyglass and dice
golden and spyglass is 2.2% dps upgrade for 4+
It could also be... what they have.
spyglass uptime is really good
for weapon enchants we should have different enchants on the main and offhand right?
Ugh @honest iris your gear makes me depressed. All that work, amazing gear...3 340 Azerite pieces...lol
lol
ok thanks i thought i read that before
That's probably his choice > _>
just wnated to make sure im supposed to use different enchants
@craggy helm sadly I can't get any higher ss gear 😦 but yeah I have crit mastery for almost everything ^_6
thats only my m+ set tho
Gg Blizzard.
i play sub for raids so all my enchants are crit lol
what traits are best for pvp ?
I wish weapons and azerite armour were more common
You'd also hate that.
my outlaw weapons have 65 combined ilevels over my daggers
enlighten me as to why i'd hate that
You wanna play another character due to you not having upgrades to get on your Rogue? or you wanna just be done with WoW but have time left on your account rotting?
You might have some alts though, and that changes things.
i have limited play time windows due to work
i would love to be able to get more gear in a shorter time span
Just use the P2W features that Blizzard kindly has left out of the game.
if i could spend money to buy 385 azerite and weapons
Tier 5 talents, which one do you prefer?
i might, provided they're priced reasonably
iron wire for m+
whatever for raiding
yeah, what I thought. Thanks 😃
PotW is very good for priority DPS in raids (for targets that can be stunned, of course).
It's the only raid buff we have O _O
but hey, we are the best performing class in both raids and m+ :))
!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.
An incredibly small amount of people do Mythic content, so I am not sure if that matters at all.
top performing class btw
plenty of rogues have killed mythrax and ghuun lol
compared to other classes? not really
you said no rogues
on initial mythics? unlikely
Early, low-itemLevel comps don't really matter > _ >
sin is good damage-wise on both those fights, you can't look at comps from 2 weeks ago and judge
things have changed
It was meant as a joke @dark token. I didn't actually mean we are the best performing class, even though we are pretty much close to it.
anyone know if i can save conquest quest and hand in the next week to get chest?
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm not sure if I received misinformation... EP is dynamic and snapshotting with it is not a thing right?
at a pug mythic taloc
oh god i hate my life
right @ornate herald
K, thought so. Ty
currently running 3 SS, but im simming and its telling me to replace my head piece (340) with a (370) archive of the titans
would this be worth in high m+?
in high m+ stamina will be of higher value
considering you cant change gear inside dungs anymore this is something you'll have to evaluate urself
eg does x mob hurt enough for me to need stamina over 200dps or something
wat
stamina isnt even really a consideration
off 1 gear piece
if its high m+ prolonged pulls without restealthing makes archive better
im talking like 12-14 m+ so
if its a higher level
it is prolonged
there isnt a mechanic like darkheart thicket last boss that oneshots you below a certain threshold so far
you could argue temple 1st boss
200 points of hp wont do shit
k so the diffrence for me between 340
the stamina is like 5% of the consideration
is about 20k hp
What about powder shot on a high key that could one shot you 
20k hp?
🤔
"doing something wrong - lmfao" 🤔
yeah
yeh cause im the stat changer
no one piece in the game
I didnt say 1 piece
Just went on the assumption that dropping SS slots
for archives
eg 3 slots
or 2x
or 1x for higher ilvl base eg more stamina
hey guys, does it matter in which combination i enchant my main/offhand? for example quck/deadly or deadly/quick
470 haste ( 7-8%) is good enough for mythic+ ? ;D 367 ilvl
ur lacking in the haste department bruv
if you swap 3 pieces
its not gonna be 20k hp
idk what you're smoking
its gonna be like 2k maybe
which is a negligible amount
the vast majority of dmg in dungeons is avoidable
especially as a rogue
stamina should only be taken into consideration for specific dungeons with unavoidable dmg and 1shot mechanics
thats switching how many pieces to 340
3x
he asked about switching one lol
??
you're the one who said ima swap my whole gearset and lose 20k hp lol
im talking on one piece stamina is barely worth consideration compared to the dmg
and yeah losing 20k hp in a dungeon isnt that big a deal tbh
^
its big dont get me wrong but if the 340 traits significicantly increased the dmg
i would take those every time unless countering specific mechanics
e.g. xavius darkheart thicket on high keys
Yeah you're potentially losing a lot of dps
if you went by your argument id equip my blood rite 385s
tanking the dungeon btw, need fat stam
how do you guys sim for m+? i have 2xSoB and would like to know if i should use either poison bomb or crimsom tempest
Well if shit dies too quickly
Just go poison bomb
But CT generally outperforms PB
in M+ ofcs
I also wonder if with SoB i should just prioritize rupture over CT
Don't think so
at least for the opener
Considering ure running subterfuge; G - G - G > CT > Fok and then apply ruptures
Though you can always sim yourself and check the APL 😃
I can do that with simcraft not raidbots right?
I see, thanks for the help.
this week everything is a PB Dungeon
nah not really
not really
if ur going pb do you switch to tb?
No
so its fine to run pb with exang?
Exsang/TB depends on ur traits
Yeah
Exsang is really good with SS, TB goes really well with DD
exsang/TB difference for me is 25dps
so i guess 3 ss = exang
so meh?
@torpid jackal What are ur traits?
about the same results for those
I got Galecaller with Fathoms
380dice/galecaller
XD
5min HecticAddCleave is the option to check for like M+ trash dps?
Stupid question - the guide doesn't talk about when to use exsang after the intro rotation. I assume you use it again mid way between vanish/vendetta cooldowns (specifically without shrouded)?
ahh so basically galecaller/vend/vanish/exsang and then a minute later exsang with galecaller
Thanks Michee
Can I macro GC to exsang then?
@dusty basalt If vendetta and vanish are not up: Refresh both dots > galecaller > exsang
If vendetta and vanish up
Vanish > Garrote, garrote, rupture, vendetta, exsang
At least thats what I do
is dps lower on myth than most fights?
does having an envenom buff up time increase also my poison application via fan of knives
for single target bosses, do you just garrote > mutilate > rupture > gale > vendetta > exsang?
for opener **
you can do that?
...
and then do you save vanish in hopes of using it again on vendetta?
when buffed garrote is about to fall off i vanish repeat
u only get 3 cp from first garrote
oh
Isn't it garrote > rupture > garrote > mutilate > rupture if you do this, do you follow it up with gale>vendetta>exsang?
Any1 have a good WA for the dead eye spyglass trinket? one that shows what target its on maybe (sorry if this question is in the wrong channel)
or do i want to keep the 24 second buff going for as long as possible
24 second garrote*
refresh it at 5.4 seconds
There's a reason why you add in the 3 cp rupture and it's not just for the rupture. I forgot why but it's for a different reason.
well if you add the 3 rupture it looks like it lasts longer
is it worth to 4 point rupture?
I recommend using the openers you'll find in the pinned messages. Finishers are fine to use at 4+ CP since it can be very situational you'll just use them at different pandemic timers
Yea it's fine. Rupture is always 25% of AP just at different timers
Guys can any of you let me know what your haste looks like unbuffed. I'm at about 19.5% haste. I know you want more for raids and less for mythic +
it's just hard to let go of haste, I dropped 3% haste for a few pieces of gear that were higher ilvl. Only both pieces simmed 1% higher damage. Now single target feels worse. 😦
just curious to know what everyone is hovering around unbuffed
sitting at 20%
19% ... 36% with GC active
But I'm optimized for sub-mastery Zul rn so it's not fully accurate
19% poorly itemized
I just got galecaller boon, do I delay my exang for it?
so then my question is this. If you're a raider (which I am), and you're also doing mythic +s... but the best and most optimal mythic plus combos are Crit / Mastery for most set ups, do you guys switch out gear, or what?
so if i only have 11% haste
i feel like with tyrannical, it's not as big of a deal
i should probably regear before going assasination, right?
Assa or outlaw for pushing high keys bois?
Or sub
@opaque tree if you're doing serious high keys you better have some gear to switch and reforge azerite pieces, because the uldir-traits are not worth that much outside of the raid
Depends how long your trash lasts
yes you did
it's fine for m+
so
wait
Is SS the same as DD if you are playing exsang
or is tb better if you can get the DD traits
what do you mean the same
depends
one trait of SS is ahead of DD on trash
ok......
kk
so if i have one ss is it better to use two instead of 1 ss and one dd?
or is it just ims?
the second SS is not very powerful, you'd be better off using DD aswell
or wait
meh it's close too from the basic profile and SS is undervalued in simulations due to the APL not restealthing
are you actually talking about bosses or m+
lol
bosses
i know m+ is better with ss
@dire spoke So if on sims SS is a -0.5% downgrade would it actually be better cause of the re-stealth thing?
no it's accurate because you can't get out of fight
you don't really get out of fight until everybody is dead
8-D
SS thing depends on boss imo ... it may be stronger on zekvoz or vectis if you can handle the multidotting
second SS and first DD are almost the same from the basic profile
but that's patchwerk
so might as well juststick with ss and exsang
cause its a little worse on patch/the same
and better for other shit
?
yeah I think 1xArchive + 2xSS is pretty strong in most of uldir
ok
is 2x archive 1 ss good?
depends on the ilvl ... most top logs have uldir traits only because you hardly get good pieces outside of the raid
so they just outdps
the first SS or DD is stronger than the second Archive ... but if your DD is like 340 and the second Archive 370+ you still might pick Archive
it's down to simulations tho, don't feelycraft
!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.
is exsanguinate so good for m+? multi target and lower haste values favor txoic blades simwise a lot
Do you still Envenom at 4-5 CP with Twist the Knife or only 5?
for GCB there is no good ability to macro it with, right? highly asvised to manually use it?
On M vectis, when should I pop my first vanish? when the first or second add spawns? because when the first add spawns my buffed garrote from opener still has ~12 secs left on vectis
@subtle kiln worth it to delay GCB for exsang on tyranical ST boss then?
whatever way around but i meant to delay the second GCB for the third Exsang
well thats bring some huge quality of life 😄 thanks
for m+ 3 ss still best right
i also have 1 laser matric ansd 1 archive3
i have a 370 archive and a 355 laser
should i use them for rated bgs n m+
dunno about rbg but 340 ss > 370 anything in m+ in my case
Fan of knives trait for RBGs
Or atleast one (and the pvp talent+hidden blades)
Your range on FoK is insane (22.5 instead of 10) and it does decent damage
any rogues here that push high keys? (15+) do you run ct or pb this week? cant decide what has more value right now, pb has lower overall but works against tyrannical bosses but ct just performs so good on trash
Depends on your comp
DH tank, boomkin, disz, ww monk, sin
I mean more as in, do you think you need the extra damage on trash with CT
well thats the thing, i could have none and it would work
depends more on key tbh
hmm the only key where ct really sucks hard is kings rest, then again, the first 2 trash rooms its super good
and the bigpull on bridge its also good
but then again i see all sin rogues stack mastery/crit for dungeons where i run mostly crit/haste and my overall dmg is on par with theirs
is exsang better used with CT than TB? Both of them sim with a small gap to each other.
i feel like it should be exsang->ct / tb->pb but the difference is small y
hows a 365 loaded dice? opinons
you can find actual tangible data on your trinket and you are asking for peoples opinions on it?
i like it alot, have a 370 dice equipped over 395 gladiator proc trinket xP
Weird question, but it feels like I'm doing less damage in Uldir after removing the one Shrouded Suffocation I had and replacing it with something that 'should' sim higher.
Am I crazy? Is there any value in keeping one point, or is this just the fact that I'm re-learning my pull rotation...
@strange python to be fair tho, this guy is a noob ^^
Thunderous Blast.
Thing is, the DPS difference is like a thousand. I feel like it's totally a 'me' thing, like not getting 3 combo pts off rupture is throwing me off.
how many ss you had, how many you have now
what
wouldnt you wanna know what to do for optimal dps?
I'll admit for traits I've just been running off Bloodmallet.
For the most part I expect that Shrouded Suffocation isn't going to be better than basically any other trait that's available to me, and any dps loss is just me being 'thrown off' by the minor adjustment my opener needs due to not getting 3 pts. from Garrote.
Look at herodamage instead
b
SS isnt that bad if you're running subterfuge
But default profile uses master assa, which is why its garbage on bloodmallet
Master assassin? Well jeez.
1k is still a bit much
Herodamage is a lot better to look at, especially for rogues, as the developers are the top theorycrafters of this discord. So its almost always updated asap
with trait difference
I'm not exactly an ace player, it's more that I kind of had to 'relearn' the opener, probably.
and what eleem said
Checking it now. Looks like a cool site.
probably a mix of both
is there a good "guide"/route for tol dagor i can look up?
Tol Dagor seems pretty linear besides deciding what buff to get from the npcs
yes i mean like a perfect count route and some minor boss strats for pushing
i saw teams deathrunning the cannon parts some time ago
stuff like that
Today we're very happy to release the second instalment in our Battle for Azeroth Mythic+ Dungeon Guides this time around with Tol Dagor. Bookmark the playli...
oh well hello
like stavica said, its pretty straight forward
you almost always do the exact same pulls
hm yeah well the last key we did on tol dagor was 12 days ago xD
will prolly run it on 10 then to find good route
Shrouded Suffocation or Stand as One?
If I don’t have a SS being used(2x archive, 1 SB) should I be running nightstalker over subterfuge?
^for single target
Is MFD used in m+? I see all abilities high in the sims when pairing with MFD
is Sin AOE dps bad with out SS ?
Been trying to but seems that sin aoe dps for trash in m+ sucks compared to even just base outlaw
I mean outlaw is THE melee aoe spec for rogues
@topaz beacon I wouldn’t say it’s bad in my own experiences, however it definitely lacks the burst that outlaw has and perhaps could be bad comparatively to outlaw. In m+ when I run sin I still do decently comparatively to other classes.
Your experience may vary depending on talents/rotation (& obviously traits)
Did an audit today of all the Azerite gear I have and realized I already have 2 SS and 1 DD peice. Going to use that in m+ until I can get a 3rd ss. And add The titans one for raids instead.
Up until now I thought I had better traits for sub. Ha.
which should I use lol
The good one
Tbh they both suck :(
tendril was my weekly timewalking reward feels bad
I hate the cata dungeons but I want the 355 peice... lol
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.
Ss sucked anyways it’s been bugged since release
Heads up for those talking about TW, you can use legion legiondaries AND the MoP cloak in them, an the cloak does some truly broken damage.
Does CT clip ?

seems like it's above average for Sin based off herodamage. It's actually one of the best outlaw/sub trinkets though
yeah, i missed you wanting to rate that for M+. yeah it's a mediocre aoe trinket
it's pretty good for ST
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
@smoky prism herodamage default profile is MA. Check azerite on there
what talens are u playing in m+ boys?
How does shrouded Azerite trait work?
it says 307 extra damage
is that total,per tick?
maybe it says 307 but it's more,like for other traits
Per tick
Both. All traits show their base values but always scale with your agility
So it is per tick, but its also more than 307
im still at 19% haste even for m+ just cant get any crit mastery gear to try that out
Hey for Exsang. Do I let them tick out or refresh them as normal?
And for setting up, refresh dot duration even when I have like 15 seconds on rupture
pandemic windows are in the guide if im correckt its >7 seconds if im correct
No no I mean for when exsang comes off cool down sorry
how come on wowprogress.com mostly all high simdps is outlaw spec?
Cool ty
Looking at wowprogress for an accurate dps representation...
Well i answered for you
What azerite traits you guys recommend for m+ guys?
most ppl still use 3xSS i think some ppl using 2xSS and 1 high archive
dont 3x SS overcap ur CP?
You still apply 3 garrots on Multi. Even in it overcaps cps
Check the pins
Even if
So running 2x Archive is pretty bad for m+ yeah?
im not an expert by any means but i would rather use atleast 2xSS
all the top m+rogues atm use 3xSS if u watch at r.io
What is better for m+?
385 chest with Rezan trait and gutripper
or
370 with Shrouded and Gutripper?
370 with SS and Gutripper for sure.
ok ty
Ok so I tried with/without Shrouded,with only 2 traits 1 being 340 and the other 370 it deals 5.1k per tick,without those 2 it's 2.5k
holy shit that is op
Does any1 have like an WA import string for empowered garrote's? (from subterfuge and/or elaborate planning)
Well, but a 370/385 with Dagger in the Back for example could be better than 340 with SS. Dagger in the Black is pretty decent for Trash-Kill.
I do have 340 with shrouded in bank,but 370 with archives equipped,it is really worth it?
@tranquil pivot very, very unlikely if you decide to compare with SS for trash killing
On M vectis, when should I pop my first vanish? when the first or second add spawns? because when the first add spawns my buffed garrote from opener still has ~12 secs left on vectis
the best answer to that would be checking top parses @_@"
And ppl also underestimate the second traits like overwhelming power. So a combination of 340 SS with something like unstable flames or elemental whirl could be much worser than a 370/385 piece with DitB and Overwhelming Power. What do you think?
i think that for m+ trash, hardly anything comes close to SS interms of damage
overwhelming power is dope
so exsg now sims higher for me than TB. Considering using it for m+, but the playstyle seems clunky. when's the best time to use it outside of the opener, and after using it should I be refreshing my dots as normal or waiting for them to fall of since they're /empowered/ ?
i trashed it originally because i felt like it would lose value when taking dmg but it has an internal gcd on the damage interval
i had two of those on raiding spec, big haste procs
Yes, Overwhelming is my fav trait, because of the uptime.
you also gotta see that despite uptime being good, only the start of it is hellastrong
Head my Call is also nice, especially for m+
is the master assassin opener any different from subterfuge? not seeing anything in the guides for a MA specific opener
well you cant cast garrote multiple times
probably the same opener as legion
Garrote
Mutilate till 4 combo points
Rupture
Vendetta
Mutilate
Toxic Blade
Mutilate if less than 4 combo points
Vanish
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
https://www.wowhead.com/item=159617/lustrous-golden-plumage&bonus=4777:1482
What do you think about the trinket? Currently available through WQ. You can pair it always with Vendetta.
Should be much better than Uldir-Trinkets.
for m+ is poison bomb or crimson tempest better?
if you go
if you go more than +10, i would take CT, otherwise trash takes just too long.
oh ok
eh if your group is a pug that pulls 3-4 mobs at a time and its a tyrannical week, especially with hard bosses, i would go PB
trinket list?
when's the best time to use exsg outside of the opener, and after using it should I be refreshing my dots as normal or waiting for them to fall of since they're /empowered/ ?
Wait for them to fall

How’s the trinket from Fetid? Just got a H WF version of it
bloodmallet but best sim yourself
bloodmallet or herodamage ? 😦 why differents site ?
I'm trying to figure out how to track how many garrotes I have active. I've been trying to create a weakaura for it, but I can't.
Any custom weakauras out there that can track garrotes on multiple targets?
luxthos does that -> https://wago.io/H1n5_pf4X
there is a WA that tracks garrote timer and empowered status for different targets
when you tab to them
but i just use nameplates to check the timers across 3+ targets
but its better to use plater or elvui nameplates or whatever and turn on the debuffs above the nameplates
or boss plates
I know, I already track my targets garrotes. But that's not what i was asking.
Yep, I use elvui nameplates but when doing 10+ mob pulls, it gets kind of hectic.
I want to track the 3 SS garrotes in the beginning, so I don't accidentally overwrite them with normal garrotes
look up bleeds db weakaura
it tracks empowered bleeds across targets
and you can set your dots to show yellow if empowered white if not
when tabbing through stuff

wat azerite is best atm? is SS the best still?
dpeends on the content you do, but yeah ss is still best for m+
what about raiding?
theoratically best would be 2 dd 1 archive
but since ilvl matters and you are unlikely to get high ivl dd
you have to sim whats best for you
you can look azerite power rankings up on bloodmallet or herodmg
both chest and shoulder 370 with dd ?
then yes
and laser matrix is bis too, just a bit weaker than archives
What talents are better for M+? Posion Bomb or Crimson?
And is Exang any good in M+?
Crimson Tempest and Exsang is best in M+.
exsang is best if you run ss
and crimson tempest vs poison bomb depends on your group and how much your tank pulls
Exsang is best, period. You don't take it for the damage, you take it for the energy.
I have 3 SS so I guess it is way better than blade
Toxic Blade only increases your single target dps, exsang gives you more energy thus increasing both your single target dps and multi-target dps.
how does exnang increase multi target damage?
Because you get more energy when you use Exsang
Thus you get to use more abilities, be it applying ruptures, fan of knives or whatever.
Using TB in multi-target fights does not give you energy.
so I apply rupture and garotte to primary-exang than multi dot?
You apply 3 garrotes, CT, rupture then Exsang
Then you apply 2-4 combo point ruptures to everyone and keep CT up.
Exsang helps you get those ruptures in so you never starve of energy
After exsang ends, you should have 3-4 ruptures up already pooling you a lot of enerty
Are you guys currently swapping speccs or staying assa for all kinds?
SO I can aplly 2 cp ruptures during exang?
is there a more detailed guide at how exactly you should play 3 target - 5-6 target etc. when playing with exsanguinate and crimson tempest?
Read above Fubnub, just summed it up.
After applying several 2-combo point ruptures, you keep Crimson Tempest up 100% of the time and reapply ruptures and garrotes
Pandemic makes it super easy to get ruptures up to 20s+
so did i understand you right, its garrote x3, CT, fan of knives till 4-5 combo points, rupture then exsanguinate and after that reapplying CT before it runs out and just doing ruptures / fan of knives?
Almost.
Garrote 3x, CT, fan of knives once, rupture, exsang
After that apply 2-4 combo point ruptures to several targets and keep CT up 100% of the time
okay and you're doing this from how many targets onwards?
Make sure not to apply ANY garrotes before all 3 run out.
3+
On 2 targets you do garrote, garrote, rupture, muti until 4-5 combo, rupture
So you have both targets with garrotes and ruptures
interesting, i would've thought CT had lower priority than ruptures at 3 targets
Or if you have 2-5 combo points before pulling, you can do garrote, rupture, garrote, muti, rupture
Well, technically yes
But you are able to get 3 ruptures up during your exsang
If you go to Seliathan's stream (incarnated on twitch), and watch his videos, you can grasp what he's doing pretty well.
You gotta sim it Celestic. For most 3x SS is better, but depends on your gear pieces.
well thx for the info, i've played with toxic blade so far and now i'm trying to understand when to use what to not learn it wrong from the get go 😛
@limber lion What do you mean by not appluying ANY garrotes before all 3 run out? Why not?
@honest iris i wouldnt use archive at all for m+
Archive is kinda only good with the reorigination thingy buff you get in the raid
Other than that not wurf.
Shrouded Suffocation

@limber lion what did you mean with "you are able to get 3 ruptures up during your exsang" ?
it doesn't, not really just give you a bit of energy
With the energy
I like exg but since I run 2 sob + 1 ss it's like exg sim very low in st
so i prefer run tb for bosses
@tranquil pivot ditb for trash sims: Do you think it sims patchwerk with 100% back time? Does SS garrote require back time?
Just because the sim the same doesn't mean it's real.
Simming with Use-trinkets is based on me using the trinket on cooldown ?
guys, I've recently switched to assa and need some clarification:
- Is CT and exsang also best in low mythics (3-6)?
- Should I run exsang with 1x SS in mythics?
- Aoe rotation - this is my biggest issue. Let's say that we fight with 5x mobs. Ideally I need to maintain all of the bleeds on all targets, but it's pretty impossible. What's the priority of the bleeds in that situation? garrote > ct > rupture? Or garrote every cd, rupture to have at least 5 bleeds (garrote + rupture bleed) and than CT?
- Is there anything to help targeting mobs? Many times I lose 3s window of empowered garrotes with big pulls because TAB keeps targeting already bleeding targets. Any kind of macro or some trick?
If you held a /use agi until the vanish gg exang. It would Perform better than the sim as well.
@dense junco with ss and sub. Garrote 3 from stealth
@dense junco
Get 3 SS.
Can mousover garrote. I just click the elites. Don't tab garrote non elites on pull.
Damn. Had no idea you could choose a conquest chest reward with SS
Just saw the one with BitS

I just need 370 SS shoulders.
I just need 370 ss shoulders
Using gonk still.
And a better helm
All about them 385s
I don't stop at an arbitrary 3 ruptures. I just rupture elites and keep Ct up. After all are rup then might refresh Ct or env. Depending on mob count.

2+cp on the tab rupture is pretty quick.
What is the most optimal way to utilize Elaborate Planning? Should I be pooling every time I Envenom to take advantage of EP?
Chaining ep will only be possible during burst windows
During exsan can easily keep 100% uptime for the whole duration
Got ya, thanks. Outside of burst windows should I still try to occasionally pool and Envenom with EP?
Got makes sense
Did I miss something, blood mallet says 1x SS at 385 is 80dps?
I’m using TB right now cause it sims better
@bleak cargo read pinned message
Gotcha, switching to herodamage then I suppose
Haste/Crit for raids. Crit/Mastery for M+. Surely we have a minimum amount of haste for M+ though? I find whenever i'm below 17% haste i'm energy starved after 3 rotations
Hey guys, yesterday (I think) I saw a Weakaura that would track how many bleeds I had on targets in a cleave/aoe situation but now I cant find it for my life. Any tips?
@bleak cargo it is using MA instead of subterfuge.
@tawny fjord pretty sure seli has like 5% haste plus GC.
yeah you dont need haste in m+ if you get good pulls since you will have enough energy from dots
your st suffers a bit but assas strength is aoe in m+ anyway
FOK needs crit. And apparently layered bleeds gain more from mastery
I assume that Since you can only exang 1, that haste doesn't scale as well.
Plus the DP spread from FOK.
But that's what sims are for. You just need an appropriate sim that looks like your fight.
How big's the difference between having SS and no ss traits
Damn. 5% seems so low... I dont have GC though
How bigs the difference ? Do you get 18-25k trash packs every pull without vendetta or vanish?
You can sim 6t 40s. Patchwerk (no buffs) and compare.
I've been doing this ginmicky thing I expect fixed soon.
Double SS 1 Archive.
Throw down a turnip punching bag and beat on it till 20 stacks
Start the m+
Nice.
I think single archive might be better on this week in particular because of boss dmg.
Also, it really isn't wasted on those garrotes either.
It was a 340 SS or a 370 archive
My primary SS pieces is that 385 chest
Is the archive buff in m+ haste or agi?
Raid bumps me to 23% haste. Finally slipped from top stat.
Yeah the raid bump is nuts.
When I pop my dread glads during opener I get 300 vers though lol
When you have only 1100 haste and 1080 crit so any crit buff switches archive to crit rip
Trying to figure out how I could realistically simulate archive on m+
what is SS?
I wonder if I could assume like 14 to 15 Stacks average throughout the dungeon.
Then add the agility from that to my stuff baseline
Just because the 40 second simulation assumes I'm building up those stacks all the time.
I only got the idea because I was watching some good rogue doing a 17 and they were using one archive two SS
I don't know how the logs handle the stacking buff tho.
Probably due to ilvl on their 3rd SS as well.
340ss vs 385 archive.
Yeah, I assume if one of my SS was not 385 I would have to run triple
But that single 385 has a lot of value in it
I have 2 370s and a 340.
385 archive wouldn't be too hard to get.
Wtb zul shoulders
Drops off vectis
My guild is pretty wheelchair, but I think we are killing Vectis next.
Yeah, my 2ss pieces are shoulder and chest.
Also my other 385s are shoulder and chest for ST
I got fetid and vectis heroic azerite same day.
I've kind of been agonizing over twist the knife or dagger in the back at the same item level.
I've already simmed it and I've checked hero damage, but I know dagger is assuming you are always hitting from behind.
And I figured with 385 double dose shoulders maybe twist the knife would have a little more value.
Idk
Someone said their ditb simmed well for aoe. Concerned about FOK applications
I don't mind any of the traits in st but sharp knife.
It better be a massive gain for me to play knife.
hi people someone told me 1 laser + 2 DD is best for raiding. But wouldn't 1 Laser, 1 Titan, 1 DD be best?
for sure, I'm just trying to figure out what is better in practice because I know simulations can sometimes be a little misleading.
Someone probably over simplified it. B
You need to use top gear and sim your sets. Because ilvl matters. 2nd row matters.
Dd requires env uptime. So the secondaries matter.
i mean i have like 2 parts for every azrite piece for 370
I'll tell you what though, double dose is hot shit, got a beautiful Mythic Taloc parse soon as I got it. I know he's a ridiculously easy boss but it felt good.
is overwhelming power current top for 3 stack?
It's pretty good.
I've been running a single unstable Flames for Mythic plus lately.
That added crit when you are fan spamming is useful.
Not bad for ST either.
Is it preferred to run tb or exg in m+? Does it depend on whether you're running them single target?

Exg for m+. For st it depends on stats and traits
Thanks
I really can't think of a situation where exsanguinate would not be better in m+
It does simulate behind toxic blade for single Target, but you almost always have priority adds you need to kill.
And you can pretty much use it once per pack
what's a good trinket paired with fathoms for single and multi
Harlans/Galecallers
^
For me it does
385 DiTB and DD but I run different traits for m+
I also run a crit mastery set for m+ instead of my raiding crit haste stuff.
That's my Mythic + Gear
It's hard to replace the bracers with Crit Mastery ones when they are 395
Also RIP no GC
This is my boss hitting set.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/55a6K6Z3NyeAwvhzAprsXL
I swap out for exsang on certain bosses but otherwise that's pretty accurate.
