#

So CT 3+ target, and try weaving in ruptures as long as CT has 2+ sec duration on target left?

pallid bluff
#

yeah you would CT and then get rupture rolling on targets while keeping CT uptime

gilded oak
#

if there is more than 4+ targets, do you still rupture?

vale scroll
#

yes always

#

for energy

daring imp
#

@native mason you likely will want different azerites for m+/raiding, like, really different

lofty sand
#

I think ct spam is only if you already have rup ups and 4+ targets

daring imp
#

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

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.

daring imp
#

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

lofty sand
#

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

daring imp
#

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

lofty sand
#

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

daring imp
#

bosses are easy compared to agro'ing 10 trash at once

lofty sand
#

but fortified weeks CT is just a lot better

carmine valve
#

CT is never usable on ST in m+ lets say a boss?

lofty sand
#

CT is not good on ST

little quest
#

can som1 explain me the opener on bosses with garrote trait and Exsanguinate ?

fast nacelle
lofty sand
#

I think every opener s in on the guide

terse pawn
#

it's in the guide

carmine valve
#

what does it means when guide says Exang on 2:20 mark is fine?

daring imp
#

@carmine valve well ct can be used on tol dagor's 1st and 2nd boss

terse pawn
#

GRGVMREVGG

lofty sand
#

its the timer, that meanst it will align with your other cds

carmine valve
#

exang on 2:20 will still line up fine

terse pawn
#

it means the exsang will line up when you pop cds the second time at 2:20

little quest
#

mb ty very much for linking guide 😃

terse pawn
#

otherwise you just exsang on cooldown

carmine valve
#

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

terse pawn
#

first one

#

you want to full pandemic your dots if possible

daring imp
#

doing gar/4cp rup is admissable too

#

but when you have the vanish/vendetta, gotta be 5cp

carmine valve
#

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?

daring imp
#

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

carmine valve
#

or do you wait that rupture getting to 7.2 sec

daring imp
#

'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

vast mulch
#

are the bloodmallet sims of azerite traits counting the reorigination array?

lofty sand
#

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

daring imp
#

@vast mulch i am not sure, i know herodamage is

#

oh well

#

there's the +5/+10 right beside the azerite trait's name

carmine valve
#

Ive had plenty of time when my exang comes off CD but rupture has still 15+ sec duration on mobs

daring imp
#

so my wild guess is "yes they are counting the reorigination array" @_@"

rocky holly
#

terr

lofty sand
#

if it happened plenty of times and you noticed a patter then you should have tried different things and see the result

vast mulch
#

yeah, I thought something was stacking for the trait to do more damage aside from the stat increase

#

my bad

lofty sand
#

its part of getting better at the game is trying to iron out that sort of thing

carmine valve
#

sure

#

so your suggestion is not having 15+ sec duration of rupture when exang comes off cd to begin with?

daring imp
#

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

lofty sand
#

its a valid question though just would take some annoying calculation to answer

daring imp
#

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.

carmine valve
#

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"?

daring imp
#

but assume that if you just refreshed a full 5cp rupture

vast mulch
#

anyone knows why my raider.io score is different in the page and in-game addon?

lofty sand
#

it also depends if delaying your exsang would actually hurt one future alignment it had with other buffs

daring imp
#

like less than 10s ago

#

you shouldn't do another full5cp rupture

vast mulch
#

a day has passed and didn't update..

daring imp
#

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

carmine valve
#

ok

daring imp
#

also, let them tick out completely

#

the exsang'ed bleeds

modern junco
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
daring imp
#

then you reapply them

carmine valve
#

RIght now haste is worth more than agility for me, I hope that changes if I get haste trinket from Shrine, galecaller boon

daring imp
#

probably will even out stuff better

tribal jolt
#

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?

exotic glen
#

no, herodamage is

#

even though they pretty much have the same results

strange hatch
exotic glen
#

also that ☝

carmine valve
#

I prefer herodmg

#

It tells you what azerite trait works well and what talent they simmed it with

velvet magnet
#

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 .

tribal jolt
#

Hmm thanks for info now just gotta farm for the gear with correct traits now.

daring imp
#

gcb for exs use is too cool to pass up tho

nova gazelle
#

quick question, is the game showing bag or equipped ilvl when u queue up for something?

lean anvil
#

Bag for dungeon finder so i assume bag all the time?

lofty sand
#

I wish I could replace my galecaller I sometimes think they are not worth the trouble, specially in places that we have to move

nova gazelle
#

@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 😛

lean anvil
#

Let him start a group and apply to it

round harbor
#

Fuck galecallera

#

Deadeye spy glass and azerok trinket for life in m+

#

Also I need a plume

muted spindle
#

Is assassination the preferred choice for pushing mythic+?

round harbor
#

It's preference

rocky notch
#

is triple ss+exsang used in arena

#

or are people toxic blade

round harbor
#

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

lofty sand
#

outlaw loses on constant aoe apparently

#

sustained*

somber moon
#

Why would you want Azerokks

flint jetty
#

@vast mulch the add-on updates daily while the website is updated constantly as new runs are posted.

pliant nest
#

did i gather correctly that stacking SS is still worth it for m+?

little quest
#

when to use galecallers in opener for ST ?

daring imp
#

@pliant nest ye

little quest
#

right before i use my exsanguinate ?

hollow cloud
#

Probably in the opener

#

You could just gar-rup-gar-galecallers-mutilate-rup-exsang

#

idk if galecallers shares GCD since ive never had it

little quest
#

nah no GCD on use

hollow cloud
#

Then just use before exsang or at the same time :p

#

🤷

versed apex
#

Is there any consensus on 3rd ring traits? Or does it not matter so much?

#

I mostly just want to grab Longstrider tbh

vale scroll
#

longstrider as melee, impassive visage, resounding protection are pretty good ones

versed apex
#

Alright, cool, that's pretty much exactly what I expected

vale scroll
#

for pvp there are some others that are viable too

lean kite
#

why does herodamage use master assassin for talents?

candid jasper
#

if I play exang, should I take crimson?

lean kite
#

is there a way to change it?

#

or is master assassin actually the best now

somber moon
#

Click the Exsg category

#

But technically master assassin is capable of the highest damage with the right setup now

lean kite
#

but what if use tb and subterfuge lol

civic palm
#

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

fresh coyote
#

Whoa. Lions guile ahead out of nowhere

#

Are the bloodmallet trinket sims trustworthy?

civic palm
#

Are they very different from other charts?

silk sundial
#

Hero damage shows the same. It's tb only, it's 6th for exang

civic palm
#

Yep.

#

Make sure to take note of talents taken as there are new winners and charts will reflect that.

lone junco
#

GC is too good for m+ open. Every pull. Every st prio.

crystal helm
#

What settings do you use to sim m+?
How many targets / minutes?

pallid spruce
#

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.

fresh coyote
#

With tanks kiting everything in high m+ for necrotic stacks, I wonder why gcb is still the best

#

Almost feels like a handicap

rough sable
#

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.

civic palm
#

Because the APL and SIMC don't magically simulate your dynamic encounter scenario > _>

#

and by don't I mean CAN NOT.

calm grail
#

I've seen a lot of top m+ rogues doing Double SS 1 Archive.

#

I'm considering trying that out later tonight.

rough sable
#

Interesting.

civic palm
#

inb4 stats R gud

craggy helm
#

On M+ or uldir?

calm grail
#

M+

rough sable
#

Yea I need to find 340 pieces with SS I have the archive.

pallid spruce
#

What is SS ?

rough sable
#

Shrouded Suffocation

craggy helm
#

Isn't scent of blood best for M+ ATM?

crystal helm
#

Garrote trait

pallid spruce
#

I have it

civic palm
#

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

crystal helm
#

I prefer having atleast 1 SS since i got so used to the rotation with 3cp opener.

craggy helm
#

I mean...herodamage places scent top tier for M+. But im not entirely sure how that sin works.

pallid spruce
#

so what you think what should i use [Elaborate Planning] or Master Poisoner, and and toxic blade or exsanguinate ?

calm grail
#

You can't just look at the hero damage stuff you have to use your head too.

craggy helm
#

Sim*

civic palm
#

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.

calm grail
#

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.

crystal helm
#

@pallid spruce play Elab/TB/PB, standard build.
Have you tried checking yourself on wowanalyzer?
Can provide alot of information my friend!

calm grail
#

Maybe assume 15 stacks on average throughout the dungeon without much tank downtime.

civic palm
#

Does it fade when OOC or when you are not attacking?

#

OOC yeah?

calm grail
#

Decays pretty slowly.

strange python
#

20% haste

#

and haste is higher than agi in weights

calm grail
#

I saw somebody do the underrot skip after hitting a turnip dummy and it only went down to 13.

strange python
#

🤔

civic palm
#

heh

calm grail
#

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.

civic palm
#

That's 30 levels worth of AGI on top of the buff.

#

Probably worth it.

calm grail
#

Yeah

strange python
#

and a lot of HP

civic palm
#

Well what are your other options instead of Archive?

#

Fan?

calm grail
#

Yeah

civic palm
#

mmm

calm grail
#

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

vocal wave
#

Is Blindside good on Taloc due to long execuite phasE?

civic palm
#

Just remember that dagger is valued on always being behind the target.

calm grail
#

Well that's usually where I try to be haha.

civic palm
#

I know, it's just not always possible.

calm grail
#

I can't actually remember what the assassination specific trait is on the cephalohide jacket

#

....

vocal wave
#

TtK

civic palm
#

Twist I think?

vocal wave
#

On the Ceph Jacket

calm grail
#

That probably wouldn't be terrible with the 385 double dose but I'm pretty sure it's a bit behind.

civic palm
#

Twist is fine yeah.

#

It's probably better than Dagger in practice.

fossil agate
civic palm
#

You do have 6 pieces with either mastery or vers. on them.

dark token
#

stats dont chang dps all that much

#

its trinkets/azerite

civic palm
#

and Shrouded Suffocation isn't the king in Single Target anymore.

#

Rezan's sims well so it's not that.

sick eagle
civic palm
#

triple Heed is fine as well.

serene nacelle
#

Stacks of reorigination array. We are currently at 4

civic palm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sick eagle
#

mhh,but what are the best traits for m+?

civic palm
#

Shroud and Scent

#

Shroud mostly.

sick eagle
#

oh well,have none of those

civic palm
#

@fossil agate What are you current stat weights?

onyx rock
#

@fossil agate This is not low and it matches your item level so do not worry...

civic palm
#

Yeah I don't think it's low and there's nothing really WRONG.

dark token
#

get a galecallers

civic palm
#

or get rid of that 1 SS you have > _>

honest iris
#

Why are people using deadeye spyglass and lustrous golden plummage for m+

#

I see a lot of high ranked rogues using that combo

civic palm
#

Consistency?

strange python
#

SS is still king for m+

honest iris
#

i just simmed golden and spyglass vs gale and dice for m+

dark token
#

i use spyglass and dice

honest iris
#

golden and spyglass is 2.2% dps upgrade for 4+

civic palm
#

It could also be... what they have.

broken fiber
#

spyglass uptime is really good

civic palm
#

Yeah.

#

EoC is good, shocker.

tropic heron
#

for weapon enchants we should have different enchants on the main and offhand right?

civic palm
#

For information, should we pins ?

craggy helm
#

Ugh @honest iris your gear makes me depressed. All that work, amazing gear...3 340 Azerite pieces...lol

civic palm
#

lol

tropic heron
#

ok thanks i thought i read that before

civic palm
#

That's probably his choice > _>

tropic heron
#

just wnated to make sure im supposed to use different enchants

honest iris
#

@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

craggy helm
#

Gg Blizzard.

honest iris
#

i play sub for raids so all my enchants are crit lol

civic palm
#

Seems fine.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

honest needle
#

what traits are best for pvp ?

civic palm
#

#pvp probably has your answers.

patent topaz
#

I wish weapons and azerite armour were more common

torpid jackal
#

if they were then your playtime per session would be low

#

investors hate that

civic palm
#

You'd also hate that.

patent topaz
#

my outlaw weapons have 65 combined ilevels over my daggers

torpid jackal
#

enlighten me as to why i'd hate that

civic palm
#

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.

tropic heron
#

i have double 375 weapons on outlaw

#

i siwtched to assassination anyway

torpid jackal
#

i have limited play time windows due to work

#

i would love to be able to get more gear in a shorter time span

civic palm
#

Just use the P2W features that Blizzard kindly has left out of the game.

torpid jackal
#

if i could spend money to buy 385 azerite and weapons

undone sandal
#

Tier 5 talents, which one do you prefer?

torpid jackal
#

i might, provided they're priced reasonably

#

iron wire for m+

#

whatever for raiding

undone sandal
#

yeah, what I thought. Thanks 😃

civic palm
#

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

undone sandal
#

but hey, we are the best performing class in both raids and m+ :))

where would that even be applicable? zekvoz?

#

cause we're running sub for zul

dark token
#

@undone sandal lol

#

no rogues on last 2 bosses

civic palm
#

An incredibly small amount of people do Mythic content, so I am not sure if that matters at all.

dark token
#

top performing class btw

inner pecan
#

plenty of rogues have killed mythrax and ghuun lol

dark token
#

compared to other classes? not really

inner pecan
#

you said no rogues

torpid jackal
#

on initial mythics? unlikely

dark token
#

the comps look like this

inner pecan
#

i've killed mythic mythrax

#

im aware of the comps mate

civic palm
#

Early, low-itemLevel comps don't really matter > _ >

inner pecan
#

sin is good damage-wise on both those fights, you can't look at comps from 2 weeks ago and judge

#

things have changed

undone sandal
#

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?

carmine valve
#

Is it worth delaying Exang to 1 min to chain with Galecaller boon trinket?

#

in m+

glacial mist
#

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+?

hollow cloud
#

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

dark token
#

wat

#

stamina isnt even really a consideration

#

off 1 gear piece

#

if its high m+ prolonged pulls without restealthing makes archive better

glacial mist
#

im talking like 12-14 m+ so

dark token
#

if its a higher level

glacial mist
#

it is prolonged

hollow cloud
#

how is stamina NOT a consideration?

#

🤔

dark token
#

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

hollow cloud
#

k so the diffrence for me between 340

dark token
#

the stamina is like 5% of the consideration

hollow cloud
#

is about 20k hp

broken fiber
#

What about powder shot on a high key that could one shot you monkaS

dark token
#

20k hp?

hollow cloud
#

🤔

dark token
#

you're doing something wrong

#

lmfao

hollow cloud
#

"doing something wrong - lmfao" 🤔

dark token
#

yeah

hollow cloud
#

yeh cause im the stat changer

dark token
#

no one piece in the game

hollow cloud
#

I decide what 1x stamina means

#

🤔

dark token
#

affects ur hp by 20

#

unless you remove it

hollow cloud
#

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

torn mulch
#

hey guys, does it matter in which combination i enchant my main/offhand? for example quck/deadly or deadly/quick

desert pelican
#

470 haste ( 7-8%) is good enough for mythic+ ? ;D 367 ilvl

fiery cradle
#

ur lacking in the haste department bruv

desert pelican
#

simmed for 4 targets 40 sec

#

and this is my statweights ;D

#

in st i have 1.3-4 k

dark token
#

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

strange python
#

I think I have around 136k with 340 piece

#

And then 140k with 370

hollow cloud
dark token
#

stamina should only be taken into consideration for specific dungeons with unavoidable dmg and 1shot mechanics

hollow cloud
#

fk

#

wrong SS

#

🤔

dark token
#

thats switching how many pieces to 340

hollow cloud
#

3x

dark token
#

he asked about switching one lol

hollow cloud
#

Yah

#

And you took this discussion

#

to a whole other place

#

🤔

dark token
#

??

hollow cloud
#

Saying stamina has no value essentially and saying you cant drop 20k hp

#

🤔

dark token
#

you're the one who said ima swap my whole gearset and lose 20k hp lol

hollow cloud
#

Yinkers

#

Unlucky really

dark token
#

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

strange python
#

wtf

#

Why would u even swap gear to have more stamina?

dark token
#

^

#

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

strange python
#

Yeah you're potentially losing a lot of dps

dark token
#

if you went by your argument id equip my blood rite 385s

#

tanking the dungeon btw, need fat stam

solar fog
#

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

strange python
#

Well if shit dies too quickly

#

Just go poison bomb

#

But CT generally outperforms PB

#

in M+ ofcs

solar fog
#

I also wonder if with SoB i should just prioritize rupture over CT

strange python
#

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 😃

solar fog
#

I can do that with simcraft not raidbots right?

strange python
solar fog
#

I see, thanks for the help.

lunar tangle
#

if ur going pb do you switch to tb?

strange python
#

No

lunar tangle
#

so its fine to run pb with exang?

strange python
#

Exsang/TB depends on ur traits

#

Yeah

#

Exsang is really good with SS, TB goes really well with DD

torpid jackal
#

exsang/TB difference for me is 25dps

lunar tangle
#

so i guess 3 ss = exang

torpid jackal
#

so meh?

strange python
#

@torpid jackal What are ur traits?

torpid jackal
#

1archive2ss

#

or 1archive1ss1dd

strange python
#

Its 500 dps for me with same build

#

the fuck

torpid jackal
#

about the same results for those

lunar tangle

dont forget trinkets

#

maybe that makes a diff?

5min HecticAddCleave is the option to check for like M+ trash dps?

strange python
#

Not really

#

Do 40seconds to 1m20sec

dusty basalt
#

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)?

strange python
#

With dots refreshed

#

And preferably galecaller popped right before

dusty basalt
#

ahh so basically galecaller/vend/vanish/exsang and then a minute later exsang with galecaller

#

Thanks Michee

broken fiber
#

GC in dungeons feels so toxic

#

waaay too much movement

dusty basalt
#

Can I macro GC to exsang then?

strange python
#

@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

raven bloom
#

is dps lower on myth than most fights?

dusk sun
#

does having an envenom buff up time increase also my poison application via fan of knives

glacial mist
#

for single target bosses, do you just garrote > mutilate > rupture > gale > vendetta > exsang?

#

for opener **

dusk sun
#

i prefer stealth garrote garrote

#

for 24 second garrote

glacial mist
#

you can do that?

raven bloom
#

...

dusk sun
#

surprisingly yes

#

provided u have at least 1 SS

glacial mist
#

and then do you save vanish in hopes of using it again on vendetta?

dusk sun
#

when buffed garrote is about to fall off i vanish repeat

broken fiber
#

Isn't it garrote > rupture > garrote > mutilate > rupture

#

If you have ss

dusk sun
#

u only get 3 cp from first garrote

glacial mist
#

oh

#

Isn't it garrote > rupture > garrote > mutilate > rupture if you do this, do you follow it up with gale>vendetta>exsang?

grim wolf
#

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)

glacial mist
#

or do i want to keep the 24 second buff going for as long as possible

#

24 second garrote*

dusk sun
#

refresh it at 5.4 seconds

languid ore
#

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.

glacial mist
#

well if you add the 3 rupture it looks like it lasts longer

#

is it worth to 4 point rupture?

dire spoke
#

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

languid ore
#

Yea it's fine. Rupture is always 25% of AP just at different timers

opaque tree
#

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

sudden trench
#

sitting at 20%

dire spoke
#

19% ... 36% with GC active
But I'm optimized for sub-mastery Zul rn so it's not fully accurate

proven ice
#

19% poorly itemized

carmine valve
#

I just got galecaller boon, do I delay my exang for it?

proven ice
#

What fight?

#

On dummys you don't

opaque tree
#

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?

glacial mist
#

so if i only have 11% haste

opaque tree
#

i feel like with tyrannical, it's not as big of a deal

glacial mist
#

i should probably regear before going assasination, right?

proven ice
#

crit isn't that much better for m_

#

I wouldn't invest in it

cold flare
#

Assa or outlaw for pushing high keys bois?

proven ice
#

Or sub

dire spoke
#

@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

proven ice
#

What?

#

archive is incredible

peak saffron
#

yeah I run 1 archive in m+

#

with 2 SS

lost horizon
#

Depends how long your trash lasts

proven ice
#

Archive SS and SOB here

dire spoke
#

well I took the wrong chart basically

#

but I also didn't say reforge everything

#

yes you did

that's why

azerokks only a .3% upgrade for me

#

is t supposed to be gopod?

dire spoke
#

it's fine for m+

velvet kernel
#

so

#

wait

#

Is SS the same as DD if you are playing exsang

#

or is tb better if you can get the DD traits

dire spoke
#

what do you mean the same

torpid jackal
#

depends

dire spoke
#

one trait of SS is ahead of DD on trash

velvet kernel
#

ok......

dire spoke
#

on bosses they are very close

#

assuming the same ilvl in all cases

velvet kernel
#

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?

dire spoke
#

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

velvet kernel
#

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?

dire spoke
#

I mentioned restealthing because of m+ it's irrelevant on raids

#

sorry

velvet kernel
#

?

#

so in raids its not undervalued?

dire spoke
#

no it's accurate because you can't get out of fight

velvet kernel
#

i mean vanish

#

dude

#

u confused the shit out of me with that

#

xD

dire spoke
#

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

velvet kernel
#

so might as well juststick with ss and exsang

#

cause its a little worse on patch/the same

#

and better for other shit

#

?

dire spoke
#

yeah I think 1xArchive + 2xSS is pretty strong in most of uldir

velvet kernel
#

ok

mint oar
#

is 2x archive 1 ss good?

dire spoke
#

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

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.

honest needle
#

what traits are best for pvp

#

?

celest swan
#

is exsanguinate so good for m+? multi target and lower haste values favor txoic blades simwise a lot

ornate gazelle
#

Do you still Envenom at 4-5 CP with Twist the Knife or only 5?

celest swan
#

for GCB there is no good ability to macro it with, right? highly asvised to manually use it?

cosmic pier
#

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

celest swan
#

@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

honest needle
#

@subtle kiln so for my first 355 pvp piece which shoul;d i get

#

the ss or fok 1

celest swan
#

well thats bring some huge quality of life 😄 thanks

honest needle
#

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+

vital haven
#

hey guys is SS still good for m+?

#

topkek

merry elbow
#

dunno about rbg but 340 ss > 370 anything in m+ in my case

spice surge
#

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

balmy cradle
#

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

spice surge
#

Depends on your comp

balmy cradle
#

DH tank, boomkin, disz, ww monk, sin

spice surge
#

I mean more as in, do you think you need the extra damage on trash with CT

balmy cradle
#

well thats the thing, i could have none and it would work

exotic glen
#

depends more on key tbh

balmy cradle
#

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

quiet ginkgo
#

is exsang better used with CT than TB? Both of them sim with a small gap to each other.

balmy cradle
#

i feel like it should be exsang->ct / tb->pb but the difference is small y

strange python
potent spoke
#

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...

balmy cradle
#

@strange python to be fair tho, this guy is a noob ^^

exotic glen
#

@potent spoke

#

what are you switching it out with

potent spoke
#

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.

exotic glen
#

yeah that is not the trait's fault there

#

did you read the assa guide

potent spoke
#

Yeah.

#

With that in mind, that's my question answered

daring imp
#

how many ss you had, how many you have now

potent spoke
#

I was running 3 haha

#

But

#

I was running 2 Archives 1 Suffo

#

Actually.

daring imp
#

what

exotic glen
#

wouldnt you wanna know what to do for optimal dps?

potent spoke
#

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.

spice surge
#

Look at herodamage instead

strange python
#

b

spice surge
#

SS isnt that bad if you're running subterfuge

#

But default profile uses master assa, which is why its garbage on bloodmallet

potent spoke
#

Master assassin? Well jeez.

exotic glen
#

1k is still a bit much

spice surge
#

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

exotic glen
#

with trait difference

potent spoke
#

I'm not exactly an ace player, it's more that I kind of had to 'relearn' the opener, probably.

exotic glen
#

and what eleem said

potent spoke
#

Checking it now. Looks like a cool site.

exotic glen
#

probably a mix of both

balmy cradle
#

is there a good "guide"/route for tol dagor i can look up?

potent spoke
#

Tol Dagor seems pretty linear besides deciding what buff to get from the npcs

balmy cradle
#

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

exotic glen
balmy cradle
#

oh well hello

exotic glen
#

like stavica said, its pretty straight forward

#

you almost always do the exact same pulls

balmy cradle
#

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

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

wide furnace
#

I mean outlaw is THE melee aoe spec for rogues

worldly lantern
#

@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)

rough sable
#

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.

So running 2x Archive is pretty bad for m+ yeah?

bold stag

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

sick eagle
#

What is better for m+?
385 chest with Rezan trait and gutripper
or
370 with Shrouded and Gutripper?

tranquil pivot
#

370 with SS and Gutripper for sure.

sick eagle
#

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

proven ice
#

Running 2 archive is fine for M+

#

Probably better than SS for tyranical week

daring imp
#

man i'd even pick 340 with ss @sick eagle lul

#

for m+, that is

oak hull
#

Does any1 have like an WA import string for empowered garrote's? (from subterfuge and/or elaborate planning)

tranquil pivot
#

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.

sick eagle
#

I do have 340 with shrouded in bank,but 370 with archives equipped,it is really worth it?

daring imp
#

@tranquil pivot very, very unlikely if you decide to compare with SS for trash killing

cosmic pier
#

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

daring imp
#

the best answer to that would be checking top parses @_@"

tranquil pivot
#

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?

daring imp
#

i think that for m+ trash, hardly anything comes close to SS interms of damage

dark token
#

overwhelming power is dope

round ledge
#

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/ ?

daring imp
#

maybe a high ilvl scent of blood

#

tho for sure overwhelming power is nice

dark token
#

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

daring imp
#

i had two of those on raiding spec, big haste procs

dark token
#

and its uptime is like 50%

#

feels like i have infinite energy

tranquil pivot
#

Yes, Overwhelming is my fav trait, because of the uptime.

daring imp
#

you also gotta see that despite uptime being good, only the start of it is hellastrong

tranquil pivot
#

Head my Call is also nice, especially for m+

shy escarp
#

is the master assassin opener any different from subterfuge? not seeing anything in the guides for a MA specific opener

dark token

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

shy escarp
#

figured it would be that. Thanks

#

in legion I was a dirty battle chicken

tranquil pivot
#

Should be much better than Uldir-Trinkets.

outer oriole
#

for m+ is poison bomb or crimson tempest better?

dark token
#

depends on the dungeon and the affixes and the key level

if you go more than +10, i would take CT, otherwise trash takes just too long.

Exsang is best, period. You don't take it for the damage, you take it for the energy.

sick eagle
#

I have 3 SS so I guess it is way better than blade

limber lion
#

Toxic Blade only increases your single target dps, exsang gives you more energy thus increasing both your single target dps and multi-target dps.

sick eagle
#

how does exnang increase multi target damage?

limber lion
#

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.

sick eagle
#

so I apply rupture and garotte to primary-exang than multi dot?

limber lion
#

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

twilit sky
#

Are you guys currently swapping speccs or staying assa for all kinds?

sick eagle
#

SO I can aplly 2 cp ruptures during exang?

eager grove
#

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?

limber lion
#

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+

eager grove
#

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?

limber lion
#

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

eager grove
#

okay and you're doing this from how many targets onwards?

limber lion
#

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

eager grove
#

interesting, i would've thought CT had lower priority than ruptures at 3 targets

limber lion
#

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

honest iris
#

is 2x ss and 1 archive better than 3x ss?

#

for m+

limber lion
#

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.

eager grove
#

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 😛

tall spruce
#

@limber lion What do you mean by not appluying ANY garrotes before all 3 run out? Why not?

strange python
#

@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
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.

tall spruce
#

Ooh...

#

Thanks

eager grove
#

@limber lion what did you mean with "you are able to get 3 ruptures up during your exsang" ?

tribal marlin
#

it doesn't, not really just give you a bit of energy

rocky notch
#

With the energy

tribal marlin
#

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

lone junco
#

@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.

tall spruce
#

Simming with Use-trinkets is based on me using the trinket on cooldown ?

lone junco
#

Typ.

#

GC holds.

#

But it is named specifically for use with SS

dense junco
#

guys, I've recently switched to assa and need some clarification:

  1. Is CT and exsang also best in low mythics (3-6)?
  2. Should I run exsang with 1x SS in mythics?
  3. 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?
  4. 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?
lone junco
#

If you held a /use agi until the vanish gg exang. It would Perform better than the sim as well.

strange python
#

@dense junco with ss and sub. Garrote 3 from stealth

lone junco
#

@dense junco

Get 3 SS.
Can mousover garrote. I just click the elites. Don't tab garrote non elites on pull.

strange python
#

Then rupture

#

Use fan to poison the rest

#

Only maintain bleeds on 3

fringe ginkgo
#

Damn. Had no idea you could choose a conquest chest reward with SS

#

Just saw the one with BitS

strange python
lone junco
#

I just need 370 SS shoulders.

I just need 370 ss shoulders

lone junco

Using gonk still.

strange python
#

And a better helm

wheat zealot
#

All about them 385s

lone junco
#

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.

steel abyss
#

What is the most optimal way to utilize Elaborate Planning? Should I be pooling every time I Envenom to take advantage of EP?

wheat zealot
#

Chaining ep will only be possible during burst windows

#

During exsan can easily keep 100% uptime for the whole duration

steel abyss
#

Got ya, thanks. Outside of burst windows should I still try to occasionally pool and Envenom with EP?

wheat zealot
#

With tb focus on envenom buff > ep but still try to chain ep

#

If you can yeah

steel abyss
#

Got makes sense

bleak cargo
#

Did I miss something, blood mallet says 1x SS at 385 is 80dps?

steel abyss

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

elder prairie
#

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?

lone junco
#

@bleak cargo it is using MA instead of subterfuge.

#

@tawny fjord pretty sure seli has like 5% haste plus GC.

vale scroll
#

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

lone junco
#

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.

inland hornet
#

How big's the difference between having SS and no ss traits

tawny fjord
#

Damn. 5% seems so low... I dont have GC though

lone junco
#

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.

calm grail
#

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+

lone junco
#

Nice.

calm grail
#

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

lone junco
#

Is the archive buff in m+ haste or agi?

calm grail
#

Agi

#

220

lone junco
#

Raid bumps me to 23% haste. Finally slipped from top stat.

calm grail
#

Yeah the raid bump is nuts.

#

When I pop my dread glads during opener I get 300 vers though lol

dark token
#

When you have only 1100 haste and 1080 crit so any crit buff switches archive to crit rip

calm grail
#

Trying to figure out how I could realistically simulate archive on m+

azure palm
#

what is SS?

calm grail
#

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

lone junco
#

Seems reasonable.

#

You could just log it and see what buff uptime reports as.

calm grail
#

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

lone junco
#

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.

calm grail
#

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

lone junco
#

I have 2 370s and a 340.

calm grail
#

385 archive wouldn't be too hard to get.

dark token
#

Wtb zul shoulders

calm grail
#

Drops off vectis

lone junco
#

But 340 is shoulder. And I'm stuck with Gonk for now.

#

Thought vectis is hat.

calm grail
#

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

lone junco
#

I got fetid and vectis heroic azerite same day.

calm grail
#

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

lone junco
#

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.

hazy pebble
#

hi people someone told me 1 laser + 2 DD is best for raiding. But wouldn't 1 Laser, 1 Titan, 1 DD be best?

calm grail
#

for sure, I'm just trying to figure out what is better in practice because I know simulations can sometimes be a little misleading.

lone junco
#

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.

hazy pebble
#

i mean i have like 2 parts for every azrite piece for 370

calm grail
#

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.

azure palm
#

is overwhelming power current top for 3 stack?

calm grail
#

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.

misty canopy
#

Is it preferred to run tb or exg in m+? Does it depend on whether you're running them single target?

strange python
pallid bluff
#

Exg for m+. For st it depends on stats and traits

misty canopy
#

Thanks

calm grail
#

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

azure palm
#

what's a good trinket paired with fathoms for single and multi

calm grail
#

Harlans/Galecallers

slim olive
#

^

strange python
#

No it doesn't sim behind TB

#

Its dependant on secondary stats and traits

calm grail
#

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

hazy pebble
#

16547... 쟂

#

wow

calm grail
#

I swap out for exsang on certain bosses but otherwise that's pretty accurate.

strange python
#

yeah

#

why dont u go master assassin

#

Instead of subterfuge
