ct is good but it depends on the dungeon as well

#

if you're getting packs of 3 mobs then pb would be better

#

but 5+ CT

#

No lol

#

U ct at 3+

pallid bluff
#

CT is very good for most situations ecspecially on Fort Weeks. The generel consensus i belive is that you run PB for KR and other than that noone is really agreed on when to do CT over PB

ocean oyster
#

I like the lower rng for ct

strange python
#

i'm just saying pb doesn't shine on aoe as much but at least it provides boss damage without feeling like it's taking a talent slot sitting on my bars

#

or messing up rotation

pallid bluff
#

aoe is 90% of a M+ though

strange python
#

CT is generally better on m+

#

Than PB

#

Because its on use

#

not rng like pb

#

i don't notice my aoe shoot up that much when using CT in dungeons, and i don't know when you're supposed to use it over rupturing

pallid bluff
#

you just keep the dot up

strange python
#

maybe because ure not using it correctly

#

apparently even though it's hard to mess up

#

basically on 3+ targets, G -G - G - CT and spread ruptrues

#

maintain CT

pallid bluff
#

you should be GGG>CT>Fok>Fok>rup>exsang>fok>rupture spread while maintaing CT dot

cyan frost
#

are u spamming CT even if u have it on the target + ruptures?

#

or evenom

strange python
#

no

#

env

#

env

cyan frost
#

o

strange python
#

spamming ct doesn't do much beside refresh timer, the actual damage from using it is minimal outside of the DoT

pallid bluff
#

theres a point where you have enough enemies and they wont live long enough that makes CT worth spamming but idk exactly what that point is

strange python
#

i also get really unlucky when group FoKing and only get 1 CP 99% of the time

devout hamlet
#

Got a dagger in the back / twist the knife helm in my chest today and not sure how to feel about it

strange python
#

sometimes i'll get 3 or 4

flat portal
#

is it odd for Master Assassin to sim as my highest talent in the row ?

void pecan
#

No

strange python
#

no

void pecan
#

it's.. "standard" now

flat portal
#

ah okay so im just being bad

#

thanks ๐Ÿ˜„

strange python
#

according to bloodmallet

#

But many are still running Subterfuge

#

Both talents are viable

#

at this point idk how to even play m+ outside of using SS and subterfuge together

flat portal
#

im guessing the opener changes ?

strange python
#

yes

#

it does

#

don't know how to open with MA or if you even keep SS for it

flat portal
#

cool guess im lookign that up thanks for the info peeps ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

strange python
void pecan
#

doesn't have MA stuff does it?

flat portal
#

still has the old openers

devout hamlet
#

God it sucks keeping up with rogue meta

#

Iโ€™m about to re roll frost mage and be done with this shit

void pecan
#

๐Ÿ‘‹

strange python
#

the site doesn't have anything about opener using master assassin either

buoyant ember
#

Lol true

devout hamlet
#

Or boomy

civic palm
#

๐Ÿ‘‹

#

CULL THE WEAK!!

#

๐Ÿ—ก

strange python
#

Ma opener is something like this : G > MUT > RUP > TB > VEN > VANISH > Mut > env > mut > mut > env

void pecan
#

Amen

#

miz, you have screen shot of ma opener right?

#

from some spreadsheet or something

civic palm
#

It's just the APL opener.

void pecan
#

Oh

civic palm
#

Will check it again after this SIM.

#

Doubt it's changed.

#

Vendetta before TB though, 100%, TB does too much DMG to not buff it.

cyan frost
#

for m+ is it good to drop a 340 SS for say a 385 DD?

civic palm
#

No.

#

Probably.

#

O _O

#

For King's Rest it might be fine.

brazen copper
#

my dps seems kinda low. i'm at 363 ilvl and about 11.3k on raid target dummy

strange python
#

Pots?

#

Flasks?

#

Food?

brazen copper
#

nah

strange python
#

BL?

brazen copper
#

unbuffed

strange python
#

Well then dont expect more

craggy raptor
#

Monk buff

civic palm
#

Yeah the APL opener is the same still.

delicate gull
#

MA+TB... Garrote -> Mut -> Rup -> Vendetta -> Mut -> TB ->Vanish -> Env at 4-5?

strange python
#

env at 4 or 5

#

doesnt matter

#

Dont muti at 4

#

Wasting cp

delicate gull
#

ok, but do we do it at 3 inside MA? feels kinda bad to muti again

strange python
#

Entering vanish u got 0 cp

#

Toxic blade generates 1

#

Muti generates 2 to 4

#

After vanish u got like 70-80% crit

delicate gull
#

i was looking at rogue openers on warcraft logs and most of them are going TB -> vanish with 4-5 CP im guessing, is that wrong?

strange python
#

because of MA

#

no its not

#

I dont remember but I had a long convo about ma opener

#

Thats its better to use TB before vanish

#

but idk

delicate gull
#

i guess its all still in the works, thanks

civic palm
#

Most things regarding MA atm are still up in the air about literal best practice.

delicate gull
#

sucks how its 50%

#

can actually just get unlucky

civic palm
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

strange python
#

well then play subterfuge

#

its at least not rng

delicate gull
#

i guess it is only like 20dps less

void pecan
#

Subt feels icky without ss

delicate gull
#

yee

void pecan
#

Personal opinion

delicate gull
#

idk, i can either do MA+TB for 70dps more, or run SS+EXSG. not sure which one is overall better if i only can have 1 gear set

void pecan
#

70 more theoretical dps.

strange python
#

you don't have to run MA with TB or exsang with SS exclusively either

void pecan
#

Id play whichever feels better.

#

If the numbers are that close

delicate gull
#

i like the consistency and less line-up of tb so i think ill try it this week

strange python
#

also depends on situation, subterfuge on bosses probably doesn't make much of an impact

#

i started using tb over exsang last week and haven't looked back, i like it more

delicate gull
#

do you hold vendetta or tb for your 2nd vendeta+vanish?

strange python
#

you dont need to hold it

#

it lines up

#

or does it

delicate gull
#

really? i swear i was like 15 seconds off or something, ill keep practicing

strange python
#

yeah as soon as vendetta is up i try to vanish to get at least 1 garrote on the boss off

#

nope both are 2 min cds

#

Oh then hold it I guess

delicate gull
#

well i mean TB + Vendetta vanish

strange python
#

unless you mean tb

void pecan
#

With ma it should be lined up anyway

strange python
#

Marks an enemy for death for 20 sec, increasing the damage your abilities and auto attacks deal to the target by 30%

#

if it's like a 30 sec difference i'd tb off cd, if you have 10~15 seconds i'd wait and pair

#

Yes

#

Hold it

delicate gull
#

got it thanks

mint oar
#

whats the haste breakpoint?

cyan frost
#

when you garrote while vendetta is up, is the entire garrote duration affected by vendetta ?

strange python
#

yes

#

no

#

its affected until vendetta drops off

cyan frost
#

ah okay

sharp fulcrum
#

imagine your ass rogue losing to a demo lock

glossy acorn
#

imagine losing to chadwick

little sandal
#

anyone got a rotation for master assassin talent?

void pecan
#

scroll up my dude

thorn sierra
#

hey guys switching from outlaw to assasination because all the gear drops is for asss... anywhere i can look to practice the rotation?

void pecan
strange python
lucid bolt
lone junco
strange python
#

One of ur trinkets is dogshit

lucid bolt
#

lol which

strange python
#

No enchants on weapons

#

Overcharger

agile phoenix
#

so is SS complete dog shit now?

lucid bolt
#

damn okay cool

strange python
#

Enchant ur weapons

#

its like 1k+ dps

agile phoenix
#

one of the worse according to bloodmallet

strange python
#

or so

#

no its not

lucid bolt
#

what enchants should i get for my weapons?

lone junco
#

@lucid bolt double archive. bad trinket. haste could be like 3% higher

strange python
#

@lucid bolt Just get crit and haste

paper aspen
#

What was your previous trinket?

void pecan
#

Sounds like someone needs to read the guide

lucid bolt
#

wait so im not supposeed to stack archivee?! lol f me

strange python
#

Well u can if it sims the best

tired thistle
#

Having more than one SS is shit now correct? and should you atleast get just one?

void pecan
#

M+ you want SS

agile phoenix
#

on bloodmallet its like one of the worst traits ๐Ÿ˜’

void pecan
#

Raid

#

you don't really.

#

but, gear, ilevel etc etc.

strange python
#

Bloodmallet is MA build

void pecan
tired thistle
#

But take one atelast for Raid just for the CPs?

strange python
#

of ofcs its going to be bottom

tired thistle
#

I do

agile phoenix
#

MA?

void pecan
#

Master Assassin

strange python
#

yh

agile phoenix
#

hmm

void pecan
#

the "standard" on bloodmallet and herodamage is MA

agile phoenix
#

all i know is it was top last i looked now its at bottom xD

strange python
#

SS drops in value after like

#

9-10+

lucid bolt
#

subterfuge eis no longere the eway to go ?

void pecan
#

Depends on your gear.

strange python
#

both MA and sub are viable

lucid bolt
#

sweet i removed the double archive and now my dps went up like 200 pointss

agile phoenix
#

interesting

summer tapir
#

In raid do I want 2 Archives and 1 SS or 2 SS and 1 Archive?

strange python
#

sim yourself

floral loom
#

Does Env get bugged by its own EB, or do you need to have one up prior?

#

Buffed*

inner pecan
#

you need one prior

agile phoenix
#

is there a reason why i have 2 370 helms, 1 is lazer matrix the other is trade winds and the trade winds is out dps'ing it ๐Ÿ˜’

floral loom
#

Prob because you have RA on your chest or shoulders

near kettle
#

that or you have low mastery and mastery is performing better for you

agile phoenix
#

yeah i got RA shoulders

#

370 also

#

didnt think of that heh

grim valley
#

Michee, what would you play if not SS in dungeon more than +10?

near kettle
#

ye, laser matrix and archive dont perform well on their own, RA is what makes them good

inner pecan
#

@grim valley Archive, Blightborne, Champions, anything like that is decent

#

Scent of Blood too

#

But at equal ilvl SS will outperform anything else in m+

near kettle
#

scent is great for m+

pastel wasp
#

can anyone confirm if galecaller boon trinket puts you out of steath if you use before garrote

torn hornet
#

what is ideal opener if using MA?

#

with no ss

void pecan
#

scroll up a ways

#

is posted

grim valley
#

Eh alright, so it lose value for higher key but still bis at equal ilvl

torn hornet
#

oh for real

#

ok

shrewd bane
#

!ss

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

shrewd bane
#

:(

near kettle
#

i like Garrote, mutilate for likely 4cp for 5cp total and rupture, normal rotation after that

wild stone
#

hey guys when it comes to patchwerk with GB.. do I use exsang on CD or wait for GB? What about vanish?

void pecan
#

everything on cd

#

except vanish/vendetta

#

you can wait that 15 seconds

wild stone
#

do i use vanish as soon as first garrote is off?

tribal sand
#

ughh

#

im never going to get azerite gear from weekly chest

#

forever 340 azerite pieces

silver egret
#

you will eventually

echo cargo
#

three weeks in a row, three azerite pieces from weekly

void pecan
#

@wild stone do you have ss, changes rotation if you do or not

echo cargo
#

downside is I've never gotten an archive since normal raid lmao

strange python
#

can some1 tell me

#

how the fuck did they 4 dps +17 underrot?

obtuse grove
#

Monk is heals. Think he zoned out to swap for last boss maybe?

pastel wasp
#

^

wild stone
#

no SS @void pecan

#

i looked at the ravenshold rotation for no SS but i tested it out on a dummy and i do less dps in one minute that way than if I open with G > G > Mut > Rup > Vendetta > GB Exsang > normal rotation

pallid bluff
#

@strange python they 4 dps the first boss for the dps check adn they zone and heal the rest of the insance

#

the first boss of underrot is a very high check

pastel wasp
#

thought 2nd boss would be harder

strange python
#

Yeah mirrors are a pain

#

Nah 2nd boss is easy

#

Just stand on maggots

pallid bluff
#

once the second mirros pop is a wipe if the boss doesnt die soon

sick monolith
#

what %haste are some of you guys? im at 13%

daring imp
#

19.97

#

94*

wild stone
#

18.5

pastel wasp
#

u running tb or exsang

wild stone
#

sim for 16.1k

pastel wasp
#

with that 18%

agile phoenix
#

whats the MA talent set up?

void pecan
#

same as subt tb, but MA instead.

gritty plume
#

If you have 1 SS and are running TB do I delay vendetta? It makes sense with exang because I vanish quicker in the opener? But that'll delay the second vendetta another 10-12 seconds.

strange python
#

is simming 2.5% lower worth taking a 370 SS over a 385 dagger in the dark. SS offers some nice combo points.

#

uh no

#

Not in Uldir

chilly apex
#

question the uldir reorigination array does not stack correct?

strange python
#

No

#

its 1 buff

pastel wasp
#

not even if youre running exsang?

strange python
#

If its a dps increase

#

U take the dps increase

#

2.5% is a lot

#

alright, ty

chilly apex
#

basically sim everything

gritty plume
#

If you run exsang I thought you delayed second vendetta to line up vanish

agile phoenix
#

can anyone tell me why im simming so low? i cant put my finger on it im simming nearly 1k higher as outlaw

strange python
#

You do delay vanish for vendetta

strange python
#

its not low

#

I sim pretty much the same

chilly apex
agile phoenix
#

my outlaw is 365 equipped and is like 15.4

strange python
#

yes but u probably got better traits

agile phoenix
#

double deadshot archive

#

lol

strange python
#

U got tradewinds on head

chilly apex
#

yeah

strange python
#

thats shit

#

also try simming MA with TB

agile phoenix
#

it simming better then lazer :/

chilly apex
#

really?

#

i don't think that's accurate

strange python
#

Its accurate

#

He already has 1 piece of uldir trait

agile phoenix
#

i have RA on shoulders tho

strange python
#

Archive

chilly apex
#

+10 laser matrix should sim higher

agile phoenix
#

ye

chilly apex
#

ahh

agile phoenix
#

im only +4 aswell

chilly apex
#

oh

strange python
#

also

#

that trinket

chilly apex
#

all i can say is your trinket is bad

strange python
#

is bad for st

chilly apex
#

REALLY bad

agile phoenix
#

sims higher then every other trinket i have lol

chilly apex
#

ahh

#

lol

agile phoenix
#

i have 355 harlans

strange python
#

do u have galecaller?

agile phoenix
#

i have 345 spymasters glass

#

not yet

chilly apex
#

galecaller is higher

strange python
#

well get galecaller

chilly apex
#

harlans would probably be higher too

#

lol

agile phoenix
#

sims lower lol

strange python
#

And try Master Assassin instead of subterfuge

agile phoenix
#

and master poisoner?

strange python
#

no

chilly apex
#

my toon right now

strange python
#

Master assassin and toxic blade

#

Elaborate planning has no competition

agile phoenix
#

will check now haha

blazing cobalt
#

I feel like gale caller is a red herring for most people, because its so immobile, and if you want to maximize it, you pretty much gotta delay until you know for a fact you wont have to move

chilly apex
#

its really useful in raid though

agile phoenix
#

yeah

chilly apex
#

like half of uldir is static ST

agile phoenix
#

but 380 cannon ball is a shit load of agility lol

#

and procs alot

spice frost
#

I thought master assassin was supposed to become better than subterfuge once you dropped ss and got dd

strange python
#

because it does

strange python
#

well its still beter

#

innit

pastel wasp
#

385 GB with socket

#

damn ur rng

strange python
#

You got 1 Double Dose

#

What do u expect

spice frost
#

365

#

idk, thats why im asking, XD

strange python
#

Makes a difference with 2/3DD

pastel wasp
#

not you cooby

chilly apex
#

my biggest problem is my weapons lol

pastel wasp
#

look at jasons trinket

chilly apex
#

i have shit for luck with weapons

#

literally

strange python
#

Dont tell me

#

IM still 370/360

chilly apex
#

and on sims its like super high

agile phoenix
#

comparing now @strange python

chilly apex
#

355/365

#

son

#

don't even

#

lol

pastel wasp
#

370/360 isnt bad

chilly apex
#

with terrible stats on them too

#

lol

cerulean anchor
#

why am i simming low

chilly apex
#

oh shit michee

#

you're right

#

i should be running master assasin

#

*assassin over subterfuge

cerulean anchor
#

i can change shrouded on my chest to archive but that simmed lower in the past

chilly apex
#

if i dont have a SS

#

lol

#

34 dps

#

not too shabby lol

lusty narwhal
#

Tfw 385 azerite Scent of Blood helm < 370 lazer matrix

chilly apex
#

jebus

#

@spice frost is geared

#

lol

#

super geared lol

lusty narwhal
#

Still rocking 340 shoulders

true rapids
#

same

chilly apex
#

only thing @spice frost needs is a 10 harlans

true rapids
#

im about to roll for shoulders this week

chilly apex
#

and he'd be god-mode lol

lusty narwhal
#

Im 373 simming at 15.2k LUL

void pecan
#

compared to dude with same ilevel.

#

oof.

lusty narwhal
#

Idk how im so low

void pecan
#

Im right around you too

chilly apex
#

might be azerite

#

might be your trinkets

#

who knows

#

lol

#

generally weapons, trinkets, azerite in that order provide the most dmg changes is what i've seen

lone junco
#

@lusty narwhal get 5 more sockets

lusty narwhal
#

355 fathkms / 390 spyglass. 2x +5 lazer 370 and 1x 340 ss

#

380/375 weps

lone junco
#

prob shouldnt use 2 lazers

chilly apex
#

yup

lusty narwhal
#

Sims better than the other options

chilly apex
#

your trinket isn't also very good

lusty narwhal
#

390 spyglass?

#

How is that not good lol

chilly apex
#

doom's wake is siming higher for the same ilvl

#

first mate's spyglass > as well

true rapids
#

you cant really farm for that though lol need mad luckk

chilly apex
#

your dead-eye spyglass is comparable to a 370+ galecaller's boon

lusty narwhal
#

I have that and it sims lower

#

Also have a 380 plumage that sims lower

chilly apex
#

its probably your trinket to be honest

meager basalt
#

do yall know if blood siphon, dagger in the back, and leeching poison all work off each other?

lusty narwhal
#

I think youre trippin

lone junco
#

try the same ilvl as your lazer , switch it to DD and archive.

#

just for scale.

#

gear compare swap

sick monolith
#

do you guys use exsanguinate in raids over TB?

lone junco
#

some

#

1archive 2ss exang is my highest rn.

blazing cobalt
#

I'd personally run anything remotely close parsing to gale callers

meager basalt
#

anyone know if bagger in the back works with blood siphon?

blazing cobalt
#

over gale callers

meager basalt
#

with leeching poison

dusky tinsel
#

"Vanish when Garrote hits 5.4 seconds or less when talented into subterfuge" what if I have Master Assassin talented?

lone junco
#

read the apl for MA then

#

it is not the same

#

run a sim, click the html, and read the sample sequence

#

traits/talents matter

dark token
#

when u try ur new boosted gearset on taloc

chilly apex
#

i use galecallers on fetid, zekvoz, vectis, zul, mythrax

#

lol

dark token
chilly apex
#

those are as stationary fights as you can get to be honest

#

in raid situations

blazing cobalt
#

All of those bosses except zul have mechanics where, you at least have to hold gale callers to ensure you dont get a mechanic which results in a dps loss, which imo puts it on par with something that can be used more optimally due to not having to worry about being static for 10s

#

Thats my take on it

meager basalt
#

guys leeching poison - exanguiate - blood siphon - dagger in the back

#

you think this could work lol

void pecan
#

No idea.

#

Test it

meager basalt
#

how do i tell if blood siphon is working from each of those abilities

primal gazelle
true rapids
little sandal
#

anyone know how to sim the uldir gear with simulation craft?

primal gazelle
#

should be automatic

little sandal
#

not doing it for me

true rapids
#

any obvious gear I should replace i.e. better stats?

celest swan
#

sry maybe dump question, but chosing topgear wiht different azertie traits (cause SS favors subterfuge/exsang) and different talentbuilds is a safe way to check for what i should go

#

or are there any extra things to consider

hollow stone
#

Nice @dark token what traits you got/ilvl of az?

dark token
#

385 2ss 1 archive

#

355 galecallers :(

hollow stone
#

Damn son. Thats boss

#

Still

lusty narwhal
#

Think i broke simcraft

chilly apex
#

use raidbots?

lusty narwhal
#

Same shit

#

Top gear sim has me at 15.8k but equip the gear and its at 15.2k lul

celest swan
#

raidbots seems off too, is soemthing known about some wacky "hastecap" in the sims?

#

explain me why wtih dmc the 370+socket hands are best

#

but wiht harlans the 380 hand sim higher

#

i dont get it

lusty narwhal
#

Sockets are OP

celest swan
#

thats not my question^^

lusty narwhal
#

๐Ÿค”

strange python
#

not a wacky hastecap

#

maybe haste just became shitty for u

celest swan
#

i dont get why ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

strange python
#

Stat weight urself

#

I mean there has to be a point where haste just basically falls off right

chilly apex
#

probably because harlan gives you crit

#

or a different buff

#

that skews your stat weights away from what you have on your gloves + socket

celest swan
#

but the different is "huge"

chilly apex
#

how much is huge?

celest swan
#

but ye probably galecaller's + harlens procc is too much haste then

#

60 dps

strange python
#

๐Ÿคฃ

chilly apex
#

rofl

#

๐Ÿ˜„

celest swan
#

its huge compared to other difference in today sims

chilly apex
#

60 dps is margin of error level

strange python
#

just run what sims highest or if its within 80dps, what suits u best

chilly apex
#

more than likely

#

you would probably get more of dps boost

#

if you fiddled with your gems

#

and stat weights

meager basalt
#

i do 60 dps overall

#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

strange python
#

I mean

#

If haste is like 1.8 and crit 1.9, gemming isnt gonna do a lot

#

maybe 50dps diff

#

not even

celest swan
#

u saw my question earlier, anything else to consider for the choice between MA und Subterfuge? or can i follow a top gear sim with all viable azerite trait combination+ talent combiantions blindly?

chilly apex
#

cleave

#

if your cleaving probably Sub > MA

#

because you have 3 garrotes ticking

#

lol

strange python
#

Use subter with 2SS on ghuun

#

and pad on the sticking out heads

celest swan
#

k but there is no caveat to simming the top gear wiht all options

chilly apex
#

i don't follow what youre saying

#

lol

#

you should sim so you can figure out what your highest ST setup is

celest swan
#

ye

strange python
#

Like run ST for everything but

celest swan
#

just sometimes there are some caveats to a plain sims cause of the api or other stuff

strange python
#

Zul

celest swan
#

for example

strange python
#

And maaybe ghuun

celest swan
#

i just saw that the 3 target cleave sim doesnt do 3 garrotes first but puts rupture on target 1 after 2 garrotes and then garrotes target 3, which isnt advisable on live due to ss bug

chilly apex
#

i was listening to the mythic raiders for zul

#

and they told me that i should be running sub on zul

primal gazelle
#

so if i dont use any SS, do i open with G->mult until 4+ combo, or double garrote? for panademic? with TB

chilly apex
#

instead of assassin

#

as your gear overlaps a good deal and you should be using the crawgs for cleave and shuriken storm

#

otherwise you're just getting carried as assassination

primal gazelle
#

sub is god for zul

#

theres a reason why theres 0 outlaw and assassin logs for mythic zul

#

literally 0

chilly apex
#

but thats only if they leave the krawgs alive and bring all the shit to cleave

#

lol

strange python
#

You can afk on zul

#

no1 gonna see u on dps chart anyways as sin

primal gazelle
#

youd prob get replaced if you dont play sub on m zul

strange python
#

Not really

chilly apex
#

yeah thats what they were telling me

primal gazelle
#

no guilds will let that fly until maybe 2-3 months into the clear when its on farm mode and no one cares

sick monolith
#

x2 archive? x1 SS?

chilly apex
#

the difference is huge

sick monolith
#

sim it!

strange python
#

Is there any spec that can compete on M zul with sub?

primal gazelle
#

on ST, no

chilly apex
#

according to wowlogs

primal gazelle
#

for padding sure

chilly apex
#

and the people no

#

lol

strange python
#

yeah sub is like, you're padding but not really

#

All that damage goes into zul anyways

primal gazelle
#

theres a frost mage at 46k on zul

chilly apex
#

the people who are doing mythic apparently lol

primal gazelle
#

but 75% on his dmg was on crawgs

chilly apex
#

ST dmg with sub on zul is high as well

#

because combo point dump is evisercate on zul

strange python
#

I just said that

chilly apex
#

oops didn't read what you wrote

#

lol

#

padding but not really lol

#

my fault

any tips for vectis i parse low on that fight its my only fight under an 85

#

like anything special i should do

void pecan
#

double dot

#

kill it faster

chilly apex
#

watch wow logs of people who parse higher

#

using the replay function

honest needle
#

if i go to double dot add my dots will fall off my main target

chilly apex
#

and look at where they stand and hit

honest needle
#

do i refresh early ?

lilac lily
#

wat

primal gazelle
#

what is the haste and mastery food called?

lilac lily
#

refresh rupture at 7s and garrote at 5.4s

#

if you're using subterfuge, save vanish for add

dapper wraith
#

if you're using no SS, and toxic blade/MA - do you want to vanish during the opener to mut/TB/envenom? or wait until your 2nd TB of the fight to use vanish?

lilac lily
#

in the opener

dapper wraith
#

I thought I read something like that, but the opener goes against it on the guide

lilac lily
#

garrote>mut>rupture>vendetta>vanish>TB>mut>envenom

dapper wraith
#

Ok

honest needle
#

shrouded mantle or resounded protection

#

whats better

junior aurora
#

i like shrouded mantle

pallid bluff
#

depends on what you need more

#

more effective HP or more self sustain

honest needle
#

i sim higher with tb but is extang better for fetid

#

i see every 1 using extang

#

i doubt every1 is simming higher with extang

#

i kno im not

primal gazelle
#

@lilac lily why would you vanish after using vendetta in the opener?

tacit steppe
#

Da fuq is extang

sour trout
#

is me having 29% haste too much after all buffs?

hazy sphinx
#

its purple tang

sour trout

@primal gazelle Master Assassin buff

#

ahh

brazen copper
#

should I OH a 355 with haste over a 370 without?

exotic glen
#

no?

scenic nacelle
#

Don't know how i feel about 370 Frentic

#

1.4% of dps on vectis

exotic glen
#

fucking people answering with sim yourself when there is no way 355 in the offhand hand would win over 370

#

the hell people

torpid jackal
#

offhand

#

read

exotic glen
#

right there you go

torpid jackal
#

and it might be closer than you think

#

so sim is still a valid answer

unborn rampart
#

for m+: 370 shoulders off zul (archive) vs. 340 shrouded suffication?

edgy plover
#

Is shrouded suffication the best one? I see a lot of top rogues run that

unborn rampart
#

same q: for arena

#

it is the best for m+

bitter aurora
#

Alc what other traits you have on other pieces

unborn rampart
#

shrouded x2

#

x3 w/ shoulders, else x2 + archive

bitter aurora
#

Iโ€™d take the archiv especially on higher keys and or if your tank is fast at pulling

unborn rampart
#

yeah

#

leaning that way

#

and for pvp? probably same?

#

30 ilvl is hard to pass up

exotic glen
#

i'd go with SS probably

bitter aurora
#

That I canโ€™t answer too well since scaling in rated pvp is whack

#

But always have at least one ss for pvp

unborn rampart
#

Cargo, for PvP, M+, or both?

exotic glen
#

m+

#

i have no idea how the scaling in pvp is

#

but try askin in the #pvp

#

chat

unborn rampart
#

good call

bitter aurora
#

No one does. They never released it

exotic glen
#

someone probably knows

bitter aurora
#

But Iโ€™m 370 and 2s with a 300 and he keeps up in damage

unborn rampart
#

o.O

#

if i'm just garrote x3 on opener, do i even benefit from the extra cp from ssx3 vs. ssx2? or is it more the garrote dmg?

#

mostly doing relatively highish keys, 12s, 13s, etc.

#

so stuff takes a while to die

vagrant tapir
#

Master Assasin you Vaniish envenom right?

exotic glen
#

you can ask the same question regarding 1 ss vs 2 ss alcaras

#

and since you have 2 you should know there are no extra cp

unborn rampart
#

i use vanish for stupid m+ tricks

exotic glen
#

just more garrote dmg

unborn rampart
#

don't usually use it for dps

#

which maybe a mistake!

#

and running subterfuge, not master assassin

exotic glen
#

??

#

garrote from stealth is like

#

easily your highest damage

#

by a mile

unborn rampart
#

i wish you could swap gear in m+ so i could test more easily

#

and i wish zul dropped shrouded suffication shoulders

#

is Master Assassin > Subeterfuge for M+? but then you give up 3x garrote?

dapper wraith
#

SS and sub are king in M+ afaik

exotic glen
#

how in the hell do you think that could even be close to the case

#

you run 2x or 3x ss

#

and then pick master assassin?

dapper wraith
#

@unborn rampart vanish is a dps cooldown, btw, it has no other use. anyone that says so is a filthy liar.

exotic glen
#

if your group wants you to do dps at least

south pendant
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
unborn rampart
#

I do not use Master Assassination in m+ -- subterfuge and 3x garrote for me

exotic glen
#

like you should

#

honestly kind of jealous of your azerite luck then even if its 340

#

or maybe im just the unlucky one

unborn rampart
#

i just did freehold with 5x leather

#

and had them trade me the shoulders

#

was great during the mythic dungeon week -- 3 pieces off the last boss

#

can also just skip to the last boss too

exotic glen
vagrant tapir
#

yeah i did the same thing when i started out ass

#

took 4 hrs

#

3x SS

#

then they nerfed into the groud

#

its still good for m+

exotic glen
#

its still good in general the hell are you on about

vagrant tapir
#

its not bad

exotic glen
#

its just not ridiculously OP

#

like it was

vagrant tapir
#

there are mnuch better traits though

exotic glen
#

there are few

unborn rampart
#

hrm, most top rogues with 370+ gear mostly are running 2x ss and archive on the shoulders

exotic glen
#

yeah

#

obviously it depends on encounter and your other gear etc

unborn rampart
#

aye

exotic glen
#

but most people find themselves simming highest with SS

was wowanalyzer supported at all during bfa?

even back in end legion it was pretty terrible because no one was doing any work on it

exotic glen
#

hype dude

feral imp
#

it worked last week is there a better version?

exotic glen
#

i dont think there is

#

best option would be to post your logs here and hope someone will review it for you

vagrant tapir
#

Was doing bosses

#

Most people already geared for SS, also its a lot more available than other traits

#

And yeah it depends on fight

#

if you can get some decent vanish garrote spreads then it will do really well

thin ingot
#

how do you play with master assasin?

#

do you vanish envenom?

vagrant tapir
#

TB>Vanish>Envenom

#

With Vend up

thin ingot
#

and should i delay vanish?

#

or vendetta i mean

#

or just use on cd

exotic glen
#

use vendetta on cd

#

vanish and vendetta are 2 mins now right

#

so shouldnt ever really desync

thin ingot
#

o nicce

pastel wasp
#

@vagrant tapir not vendetta>vanish>tb>env?

unborn rampart
#

just use vanish to reset garrotes in M+ with subterfuge, right?

#

also, CT > PB over M+ i presume

vagrant tapir
#

tHATS WHAT I SAID

#

caps

exotic glen
#

how many gcds can you fit into master assassin

vagrant tapir
#

3

#

including the first

pastel wasp
#

tb>vanish>env

#

is what u wrote?

vagrant tapir
#

yes

#

with vend up

#

You vend

exotic glen
#

right then the play would be tb > vanish > evenom > mut > envenom

#

??

pastel wasp
#

mine is vend>vanish>tb>env

exotic glen
#

well im pretty sure thats wrong

#

im actually

pastel wasp
#

sim it

exotic glen

going to just say

#

thats wrong

other than that yeah ct

primal sedge
#

is fathoms still one of the best trinkets or has it been nerfed?

exotic glen
#

fathoms is pretty fucking good for its ilvl

primal sedge
#

i didnt realize they update herodamage that frequently, my bad.

exotic glen
#

but being that its stuck at 355 it cant compete with 385 +

#

herodamage is the most frequently updated site

#

its run by people from this discord

primal sedge
#

i just hit 120 on my rogue and want to get some gear to get into m+ quickly

neon yacht
#

warfruuunts

primal sedge
#

gotta be 320 to get in them now

exotic glen
#

in m+?

primal sedge
#

warfronts

exotic glen
#

oh yeah

#

get people to boost you a bit if you have friends

#

do warfronts, lfr and get as high keys as possible

neon yacht
#

actually timewalking was the one

exotic glen
#

timewalking is pretty insane as well yeah

#

remember to use legion legendaries as they work in there

primal sedge
#

timewalking is difficult without them lol

#

ive been in some timewalking that were worse than +10 keys as far as time it took to complete due to ignorance

exotic glen
#

Then that would be on your team

#

Not you

#

You cant singlehandedly ruin an entire dungeon

#

Also, do it with friends and guildies

native silo
#

man the guide gonna get updated or?

primal sedge
#

oh no, it was the team. just randoms that had no clue what they were doing

exotic glen
#

Wtf do you mean

#

Im sure its updated

abstract raven
#

i really think the sims dont pick up ss extra combo value for some reason. put my stuff back on and parsed way better even though its nerfed

exotic glen
#

what sims are you looking at

#

yourself or default sims or?

abstract raven
#

just raidbots, too lazy to build my own sim these days with all the changes

exotic glen
#

idk what you mean

#

link me the sims

#

and ill have a look

native silo
#

the stickied guide is still saying to stack SS and use subterfuge but sim says to use MA?

exotic glen
#

the guide pretty literally says you can use either build

#

looking at it right now

native silo
#

yea but SS is kinda shit now and it doesn't mention using double dose trait at all

abstract raven
#

@exotic glen i dont have em up anymore, basically ss sims lower than dd even with it being my last one (so i lose the combos) but when i put on that single ss trait i do better nine times out of ten. might be situational and kinda just my experience but yeah. feels off

exotic glen
#

SS is not shit

sudden trench
#

Double dose is shit

exotic glen
#

if you could point me to what says SS is shit

#

double dose is not shit either

#

what the fuck is wrong

abstract raven
#

ss is dope man, bis for m+ and pvp and tbh (imo) required for smooth sin

sudden trench
#

For almost every fight in the raid. SS > DD

exotic glen
#

@abstract raven are you simming and using the same type of build for your gameplay

abstract raven
#

yeah

exotic glen
#

both traits are better with different builds

abstract raven
#

ah that might be it,

#

dd with master and ss with sub

exotic glen
#

yeah

abstract raven
#

woops

#

kek

exotic glen
#

haha at least you found out

pallid bluff
#

its more DD with master and TB and SS with SUb and Exsang

#

its not just Sub that makes SS good

abstract raven
#

still think i will always play ss even if its lower. feels too smooth man

exotic glen
#

well its definitely within a reasonable range of dps of each other

#

also its kind of fight dependant

#

you can play what you want man

abstract raven
#

troof

sudden trench
#

If you can do the same dps on every raid boss. Using 2 ss and then 2 dd. Then you are good bud

#

I sim 17k with either ss and dd

#

But the dmg i get from dd does not come close

silent silo
#

so if i play master assasin do i play like i did in legion? i dont see anything in the guides about it

desert pelican
#

whats better bought trinkets - sim or check herodamage numbers?

#

r all trinkets sims well?

uncut mango
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
exotic glen
#

you can do either soulbreak

#

herodamage crosschecks ilvl with dps so its easy to see whats best

#

but if 2 trinkets are too close, you can sim it

#

no trinkets have any sim problems afaik

desert pelican
#

kk, thx

exotic glen
#

@silent silo with master assassin you go

#

vanish > tb > mut > envenom

#

make sure you have 0 CP ofc

silent silo
#

so basically like legion

#

ty

exotic glen
#

close but not really i guess

silent silo
#

ohhh yea in legion i built up to 5cp and vanished

exotic glen
#

lmao yeah

polar timber
#

what about for the opener

#

same as with subterfuge?

exotic glen
#

same as what i just said

polar timber
#

minus the second garrote

#

ah

exotic glen
#

garrote mut rup ven vanish tb mut env

#

thats taken from the apl

polar timber
#

ah okay thanks friend

exotic glen
#

let me check it with some high lvl logs as well sec

#

like i expected, no top MA logs did that

#

they all just do what they remember from legion

#

idk whats best to do in this case

#

but im going to guess that the apl is correct

polar timber
#

i would trust sims

exotic glen
#

i could see it play out better

polar timber
#

or apl w.e

exotic glen
#

more consistently

polar timber
#

im gonna try now

exotic glen
#

thing is just (i think)

#

if you could ensure that the mut would give 4 cp after vanish every time

#

then vanish > envenom would be best

#

but its not 100% crit like shoulders, its 50

alpine pilot
#

btw guys, if im running master assassin talent instead of subterfuge, i shold just be using vanish off cd with vendetta right?

exotic glen
#

well you do realise they have the same cd right

alpine pilot
#

like would a good opener be, garrote, mut mut rupture, vendetta mut TB > envenom spam?

#

ahh

#

i see

#

i didnt realize u guys were just talkin about that lol

exotic glen
#

this is the opener that the apl uses

alpine pilot
#

thanks

exotic glen
#

np

alpine pilot
#

is it wrong to do vendetta vanish mut > tb > envenom?

stuck shuttle
#

yes

exotic glen
#

yes

stuck shuttle
#

because your TB has a chance to give 2 CP

#

if u mut and get 4 CP

#

you waste it

alpine pilot
#

i see

#

right

#

esp after vanish

exotic glen
#

what

#

fuck sake

#

ok, are you a ๐Ÿฅ„

stuck shuttle
#

?

exotic glen

im insulting you

because what you just said is dumb

civic phoenix
#

So besides an Array trait, are traits even that important for sin? Or should I really just prioritize the ilvl

daring imp
#

for raiding, almost all the time ilvl takes the cake

civic phoenix
#

ight I was looking thru logs and like even all the top sin rogues have such a different variety of traits

exotic glen
#

agi is just really fucking good

#

but traits are important

#

mainly SS traits if you play exsang

i hate MA

how does the azerite power weight string work in herodamage site?

exotic glen

you download

copy string

paste it in the addon

boom

fiery bear
#

in simc addon or pawn?

#

oh wait thats an addon

which one is better powerweight or azerite forge?

since they have the same data

only difference is interface

what build you guys use for m+

If its fortified subterfuge CT

exotic glen

ss traits, subterfuge and Ct

on pretty much everything

dusk sun
#

I like to mix it up with a blighborne infusion for the monster crits

exotic glen
#

what the hell

#

fuck it

#

sure, go for it

thin ingot
#

how many ilvls does double dose make up for

dusk sun
#

One or two ss doesnt make much a diff though

#

Hmmmm not sure

exotic glen
#

im gonna go ahead and say you're wrong there

#

wish they would finish the m+ profile

#

so we could get some data on this shit

dusk sun
#

Depends on the sim maybe

exotic glen
#

im pretty sure it doesnt

#

you would need ridiculously low amounts of crit

#

with the best approximation of the m+ profile so far

#

SS is way ahead of infusion

dusk sun
#

Personally having 1 ss 1 dd simmed better than having 2 ss for me

exotic glen
#

and it has limitations that doesnt allow it to reenter stealth

#

making SS shoot more up

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.

slender smelt
#

ok blizz apparently didn't fix this

grim wolf
#

I'm surprised at how much dmg sharpened blades does, usually around 5-6% of my dmg

exotic glen
#

well it was by far the best trait

#

so its nerfed

grim wolf
#

With one trait, got a 385 piece today

rotund barn
#

Is there anywhere that describes the best times to use exsan?

grim wolf
#

On CD or if you need it to burn through something or a vuln period @rotund barn

slender smelt
#

GRG-(any CD)-mut-R exsang

grim wolf
#

That's how I use it

rotund barn
#

vuln period?

slender smelt
#

like

exotic glen
#

target takes extra dmg

slender smelt
#

exotic glen
#

mother's 3rd room

grim wolf
#

Like if a boss or something takes increased dmg and that phase is gonna come up

exotic glen
#

but more often than not in this raid

#

there are adds to use it on

rotund barn
#

Oh yeah I get that part but also I thought I was needing to wait to use it till I got a fresh garrote and rupture on the target

slender smelt
#

best if you could align those bleeds at max

rotund barn
#

like for example

slender smelt
#

31 sec rup and 20+ sec garrote

rotund barn
#

lets say my garrote has 10 secs left and rupture has 20 secs left and exsan is off cd,

#

wait to use it or use it

desert pelican
#

@exotic glen wa cant create boss nameplates, nope?

wait

well depends on the situation

if its an add that will die under 10 sec

thats elvui isnt it

pretty sure

im using elv ui, and didnt seems debuffs, maybe my bad

its elvui with target frames showing debuffs

go test

hurry

Yeah yeah I am.

expecting a 3-page report at least

on my desk by monday

#

what happens to the 4+ target cycle if ss bug got fixed

desert pelican
#

ss didnt fixed -_-

exotic glen
#

what do you mean

#

4+ target cycle

slender smelt
#

like do we apply another garrote?

exotic glen
#

you dont right now

slender smelt
#

4 or more targets

#

i know

exotic glen
#

because it would trigger the bug

#

but if it got fixed?

slender smelt
#

yep

exotic glen
#

depends on target amount i'd say

#

immediately after 3rd target tho

#

you would rupture

desert pelican
#

4 applying 4th garrote 5-6 vanish 2-3 more ss garrotes?)

exotic glen
#

think you'd wait until your 3 first garrotes were running out

#

until you vanish again

Iโ€™m 368 but only simming 15k. Am I doing anything wrong? Any advise?
