what doe you mean herodamage?
Website
ah
@pearl meteor x1 SS and 2x DD
christ fan of blades is literally at the bottom
Gar rup gar ven tb env mut mut env
so is meti schemer
@empty gyro
Alright, that's what i've been doing.
@little frigate welcome to the pistoleer shoulders club, glad to have you
we hate ourselves
haha @glass vessel
what the fuck is wrong with those douchebags at blizzard
might as well give is an item level 450 turd
Is dooms really worse then fathoms?
Gar mut rup ven mut tb env mut mut rnv
for ST yes unles sit's like 395 ilvl, fathoms is insane
@empty gyro
370 dooms wake should be better but its not -.-
Make sure 4+ cp on finishers tho
U cld get cucked
R u using gc CX?
Only use 1 on use @unkempt karma
literally like 4 dps difference from exsan and TB for me lol
Nice
Atm I got
KT cannonball 390 < using
Dooms wake 370 with socket
Tiny Jar 375 not using
Fathoms 355 < Using
was hoping to up dps a little
Tbh dooms would prob outperform cannon in real play
It assumes every blast hits, which usually isent the case
But watching cannons drop from the sky increases morale which increases dps. A happy rogue is a high dmging rogue
theyd rop from the sky? awesome lol
havent used the trinket i think i got a 340 version but never equipped
So fathoms + dooms wake
Is what i would use personally, i hate cannon with a passion
I just never thought of it
Even 200
They shlda made the cannons follow ur target around lmao
With some1 pushing it
that would be lit
4head
Heat seeking musket 
Rofl
petition to have that an item in-game
nah taurens
still waiting on my tauren rogue
Too big
Does 355 ilevel swimming 12.5k dps seem alright?
๐คทโโ๏ธ
i have the taurens in my raid swap me so im a tauren all night, gamon toy for backup. RP lads
one day the tauren rogue dream will come true

Lmao
jsut accept me for who i am @pearl meteor dont do this to me
1 archive vs 1 ss
Do u have 1 of either already
no
Archive for raid ss for m+
since I will be doing both then just go for ss?
@pearl meteor losing like 70-80 dps if I switch out KT ball
wont it get expensive in the end?
For alot of fights ye
is dungeons then just 3x ss?
Guys, i got a 380 gale off of cache
Ihy
GZ
DD?
Mhm
When do you guya use it ๐ฎ
Gz
i got a 385 pair of glvoesi immediately replaced when i got 395's from taloc. feelsgood
Also hate u
Worth refilling on WB? Cuz of trinket?
Hajaha
Rerolling*
taloc lvoes to titanforge for me, ive given away 2 385 belts that tf'd in heroic, got one on mythic in between
Just macro it with vendetta then?
Yes
macroing a 1m CD to a 2m CD is kind of pointless
When it comes up
bcz u need a seperate bind or smth anyway
not really
N u will b syncing with tb anyways
if you macro vendetta with GCB, you just press Q again
press it again*
i dont like macroing GCB to an ability because sometimes i wanna use that ability when im slightly on the move
it's just not perfect
Mhm
the best play 100% of the time is just to have a completely seperate binding
but if you use it with Vendetta, you're probably not moving
anything else is unoptimal even if slightly
Yea. Separate binds are usually better for optimizing. Very true
well probably not moving is not always not moving
See for sub i have my trinket off of Warfront macro with shadow dance
It works wonders
That's why i was asking if i could do the same with gale and vendetta
are you holding your GCB for a minute?
because if not, you can just press the macroa gain
@midnight beacon what trait setup is BiS for dungeons?
whenver youw ant
Most people forget to use on use trinkets which is why macroing it to something you will use is recommended but if you dont forget, its better to have separate binds
@hollow stone @stuck shuttle @wheat zealot Whats cracking my dudes
Oh, right
@stray root 3x SS

aight ty
No friendship allowed
Dont ban me pls
Night buddy, ty for the help
how high of an ilvl increase b4 its worth swapping away from ss?
Ill just do it separately
So, on topic, I was actually trying to figure out what to do with GCB last night, and I decided on seperate binds but with a WA for both Vend and GCB to yell at me when to use
Depends on the other trait @stray root
aight
seperate binds is ideal
Or, more accurately, one WA for each
@inner pulsar I wish Icould get a GCB ๐ฆ
Thats a good solution to the "people forget" problem ad well
Also, when mis fight, do you use vanish for reapplying garrote ( 1 ss trait ) or something else? Talking m+ boss for example
@empty gyro Mine is only 365, but it did make a difference
My buddy got a 9 shrine though, so hopefully i can get it either from the chest or RR ๐
@inner pulsar care to share that wa? ๐
Still running DMF trinket but I got lucky last week and got a socketed Dead shot
Haha, I was just typing that @cerulean magnet , let me log in
2nd boss is more confusing then the last
Anyone else who is interested PM, dont want to get knocked for being OT
Going to try running 2x DD and 1x SS tonight with TB instead of 2x SS with exsang tonight in M+
Imagine acting like #off-topic doesn't exist for y'all to chat in 
How's that off topic
Wasn't talking to you.
๐ฆ
You're
fine
is 340 DD better than higher ilvl azerite pieces with decent traits?
I have 370 LM Archive and SS
I'm sorry, I missed your message because I was actually helping people
@frank shard What are you running?
You're talking about making a weak aura for assass. Seems on topic to me
idk how to sim myself with gear I don't have
Gear compare
^
Ah
I've simmed DD vs SS for myself with similar ilvl and DD was a .6% dps increase
your mileage may vary
Just trying to follow the rules, and keep the channel clear of things that aren't Sin specific (Trinket WA), but anyone who wants either of them is welcome to PM me
^
@empty gyro Running Lazer Matrix Sharpened Blades and Shrouded
Also remember that your varying talents my play a factor when considering SS vs DD
All at 370
oh m+
Always SS
Hello and check the pin dumbfkers
dd is not good in m+
And the weak aura yells at you?
it's a pure ST trait only
should i still be running at least one SS in m+?
So I've read through the rules and guides and wanted to ask before I just started linking things. Would anyone be willing to take a look at a log from my raid last night and let me know if there is anything I'm doing wrong? I am a newbie rogue but an oldschool player and would love any advice anyone could offer!
@radiant python If you post them someone will most likely have some suggestions for you
@inner pulsar mind sharing that WA in a DM I'm running a 370+sock GCB and it's a fickle mistress
Why would anyone be here if everything is check the pin and sim yo self
@short token most likely, but not 100%. If you have 385 pieces with all decent traits and only 340 pieces of ss you wouldnโt use any
SS gets a lot of value in m+ Slickr, you're going to restealth a lot
@gray shuttle Its not, its just that when people ask stupid shit like that you get a stupid answer
Full disclosure on the Trinket WA, I stole it from someone and tweaked it
You pretty much always have 3x empowered SS running on M+
@languid ore Yes
@cerulean walrus But the answer is not in check the pin and sim yo self
Well, the Vend one does a gong
which website has more accurate azerite trait stat weights?
When Vend and Vanish are off CD
@gray shuttle Relax.
I sim myself often, but I can't seem to break 90% for my itemlevel with assassination where as I was doing it much more frequently with outlaw.
@gray shuttle If its about gear, yes it is in sim yo self... if its about rotation... its in the pins ๐คฆ
spam replying with a sim yo self emoji might be the most useless shit ever
i agree
especially for a question about ss in m+ which is barely simmable with the state of restealths in simc atm
@cerulean walrus Not every rotation is available in the pins
Ravenholdt only has old information and thats why we come here ITS NOT IN THE PINS
You have a new rotation? Please share!
@languid ore MA TB opener isnโt in guide, thatโs what theyโre referring to
There's a secret rotation? Oh boy
No people try to be creative and discover new stuff here
@gray shuttle Your question yesterday was "What enchants are best", which is based from your own stat weights, which you'll need to sim yourself for. No one can tell you what your weights are.
Not sure why you're still salty about it 24hrs later.
@ionic charm Its literally the legion sin rogue rotation -Kingsbane
not everyone played legion sin rogue
@cerulean walrus i know, but Iโm just showing why some people could ask rotation questions
Itโs not cut and dry
Then look at the legion sin rogue rotation? ๐ค
Yea. I came back from Cata. It's been awhile.
my friend otld me assassination is nerfed 6% in pvp?
i cant find it anywhere though
is this true?
yes
@cerulean walrus isnt, legion we would tb then vanish for env, now we vanish then tb inside, we cant make sure of 2 env inside MA, cuz the mutilate need to be 4cp to be worth
Master poisoner or elaborate planning for m+?
EP
no more 100% crit
@tropic heron it's also posted in the #mmochampionnews
@warm geode so for all intensive purposes its the same with one swap
Sim yo self
christ
Yeah, to be fair, I don't believe the MA TB opener is in the guide. It is G >Mut > R > Mut to 4 > Vend > TB > Env > Pray for 4 CP Mut > Env
is is assassination rogue dead for pvp?
No
@warm geode also the sim apl treats 2nd and 3rd vanish like nothing, they vanish with 0 cp and TB on cd, just mut env mut
@cerulean walrus ok, but from yesterday the dsicursion was, we vanish tb or tb vanish, because of this i reply, but u r right, almost the same playstyle of legion assassin
answer could be if ure heavy on haste that and that and if ure heavy on crit it tends favor that that. But SIM YO SELF is stupid culture here.
Wait, I missed Vanish, it is right after TB
do you think system shock is still a good trait?
@gray shuttle It was literally the answer to your question yesterday.
I love my HUD stole it from Devlin LOL
For example u cant believe in Galecaller's Boon sim
Stop creating drama.
Simming yourself for weapon enchants which is based on stat weights is the correct answer.
@gray shuttle Clear bait, you need to sim to see stat weights, end of discussion
You cant believe in Galecaller's Boon sim dummy im here for people'
G >Mut > R > Mut to 4 > Vend > TB > Vanish > Env > Pray for 4 CP Mut > Env
you can 100% believe in GCB sim lol
There you go
you are deluded
@ionic charm didnt know about dat, prob , u want vanish with 2 or 3 cps, so u vanish, tb, env, mut
The Don is here 
Does simming count the +5 array buff on Archive trait?
im here for people's personal experience cuz simming is pure numbers
I mean you can have people here guessing and estimating whats best for your character. Or you can sim it and get an exact and concrete answer
unless you're a monkey who doesn't know how and when to stand still for 10s
Welcome to DPS, where 99% of your questions can be answered with simming ๐๐ผ
Bu-but strafing @inner pecan
from the godfather of simc
Welcome to wow, where 100% of ur questions can be answered with conversation
@inner pulsar good open, but u need a god for dat, rng god, overall, vanish>tb is more consistence
@warm geode Negative, with MA, TB > Vanish is superior
So maybe confirm your own setups/understandings before spreading misinformation--and also, if you truly think there's a bug, bring it up with our TC-ers
@gray shuttle Unless i can guess your stat weights, that isnt going to give you an accurate answer.
don't you need custom script to restealth in simc
and/or DM Aethys about it, or check in the SimC discord, which is conveniently linked in Rules and Guides
idk if I would say that's very intuitive for the majority of the playerbase
@solid nova unless conversation can dwell into what's your stat weights? instead of stupid SIM YO SELF
I don't know how much more intuitive you could be than Herodamage.
that's true enough
@gray shuttle Enough, dude. Seriously.
@gray shuttle When a Shadowblade is telling you to shut it... that's when you do...
@warm geode uhave aprox 55% chance do get 4cp from mutilate with MA ( 75% crit, 25 avg and 50 from MA )
@gray shuttle Sim your stat weights, then post them, then we can go from there ๐๐ผ
AND a SHADOW
@warm geode I wait 7s for Tb to be up before I vanish yeah, just saying what the sim APL does. Seems really underwhelming to use in general tbh, even tho it sims higher
TIL Feelycraft > Sims according to sin channel
@ionic charm yeah, i agree, the apl can be outdated for MA
@warm geode Don't know what else to tell you, it was tested yesterday, simmed out 33 dps better to TB > Vanish
Thats what i like to hear not automatically sim yo self on every discussion
@warm geode some guy in #tc-research posted sims showing how an updated apl with TB before vanish was a slight dps increase so... who actually knows
like i say, can be better, yes, but inst consistent
Hey guys i have a question. For weapon enchants is it better to go for two haste or one haste and another secondary stat?
one haste, one crit
!warn @gray shuttle stop derailing the thread with complaints about the entirely appropriate answer you were given a day ago.
2 of the same does nothing but stack it fatter
Next up it's a mute.
faster*
You dont want to stack same stats
Understood?
@errant kestrel never 2 of the same
Sims sim hundreds and thousands of times, thatsconsistency
Ultimately, what I think you should take from those results is that it doesn't really matter
Forget about that day ago thing im outta here this is complete utter useless bullshit
It more boils down to, who cares about 30 dps lol
byeeeeee

๐
Just remember, when you reroll, the answer will be the same in your next class discord.
Thanks for stopping by
Lol
Omegalul
Nah
Now, y'all get back on topic ๐ก
Yes sir!
That would be "Check the spreadsheet"
Shadow priests used to no trust Sims in legion
IDK if they still do
Crap OT sorry
@sturdy python Watch it

@sturdy python they dont need to sim, just look at tank dps, if is the same, he is doing right
In that MA opener if the 4 cp mut doesnt land what do u do? Just env with 2 or 3?
@spice surge when you simmed rupture not refreshing during Tb, would the apl refresh rupture outside of pandemic before Tb, or would it let rupture fall off?
Take that with a pile of salt
Outside pandemic
Cool thatโs what I figured ty
Letting rupture fall is generally awful
Ye
as it makes you get less energy
Guys, for mythic+ would you take 355 head with SS or 370 head with Swirling Sands/Scent of Blood?
I literally never knew that, played throughout all of legion with 97 avg lul
@inner pulsar If within the MA window, I'd just envenom with 3
unless it was a CP mut, then def mut again
@analog oracle SS
2 CP*
I believe you refresh rup when it's at 7.4 seconds of less now, if it's a 5cp rup
@analog oracle depends or the playstyle of the tank and dungeon, if u get alot stealth, SS if not the other is fine
i use archive 385 over 345 SS
A lot of stealth?
restealths
chain pull?
Never ran into that problem
@strange python @warm geode would the decision change if i already have 1 SS trait?
@stuck shuttle Well as soon as I said it I was trying to think of my muscle memory, and I believe I Env on 3 as well
i did shrine 12. the tank wouldnt stop chain pull
try doing a Siege with the Spotter cheese
@analog oracle i dont think so, at least swift is a good trait
@analog oracle Use SS on pugs, Scent on premade groups if the tank pulls 5+ mobs
ur basically in combat for the whole dungeon lol
@inner pulsar because you either crit on Envenom or crit on a 2nd mut and waste the CP
I just hopped up to get coffee before correcting
@bleak storm use simc addon it will tell tou
@warm geode @strange python oke thanks boys โค
No talk of chain pulling, thats OT
@inner pulsar Nice bait. Quit it.
Why? How exactly did that violate ANY rule?
You're
passive aggressive comments about OT/moderation are, in themselves, OT
take them to DMs to staff or to #off-topic
I have helped more people in the last 40 minutes than I've seen you do in a day, on all kinds of stuff. I like the people here, I know others feel the same way, we don't want to go to your OT channel, we want to help people here and enjoy each others company
Hahah
This is for sin discussion.
would be nice if boths shut up and take to private this chat
!mute @inner pulsar 1h This is your time out

!mute @warm geode 1h respect the rules and the mods. This is your time out.

don is on a roll just be sure to dodge it!
Are we all clear? Does anybody else want to take a grand stand?
Or can this channel stop being ridiculous, for maybe a day.
We will be good boys
uh i might sound stupid, but MA is now better than subtre?
yes with the right gear @full pecan
if you arent using SS then use MA
rofl
subt is only really useful for those sweet sweet empowered garrotes
No dont do that
sim urself
Im not using any Ss for raid and the diff between ma/sub was 1 dps
I like using Subt so I can CS the boss for faster cp gen
Next level
Doing HC soon and I am not sure what bosses to coin anymore. Can anyone give some pointer?
I'd coin the azerite pieces and weapons
Yeah, weapons and azerite all the way, depending on what you need more
Coin fetid chest 100% for m+ at the very least
Most people do both, and itโs the only place to get a reliably high SS piece
uh not necessarily
Because u didnt say if u have SS pieces at all
Just a vague question
Dont have any SS atm :S
Not really, its just a recommendation 
So a 370 SS chest is better then a 385 Dagger back?=
For m+ it sure is
Cool, fetid it is then
saving the other coins for whenever we get around to doing mytic ๐
Ty guys! โค
do you guys think assassination will still be the top pvp spec for rogues?
or did the nerfs change that
obviously hard to say right now i just want some ideas
oh shit is this the wrong channel sorry
@tropic heron PvP is about more than dmg, tbh. It's about your toolkit
it was related to assassionatin so i thought itd fit
need help with focus macro, got this far but subterfuge puts me in a deadzone where i cant cheap shot or kidney shot /cast [@focus, stealth] cheap shot; [@focus, nostealth] kidney shot
probably better info there.
ohh ok
yeah im not very good at pvp im barely above 1600
so it prolly wont mean much i just wanted a better players opinion
Pvp channel would be bumping today, and youll get better info on specs in there than just sin in here
ok yeah ill check that out thanks
Hello, I dont find the solution on ravenholdt so I ask here : what we have to do in our rotation with ONE Sharpened Blades trait please?
also is it sin or ass? i see poeple say both
@ebon zinc use at 29 stacks
Preferably with EP up but supposedly itโs not worth delaying
You see assa and sin a lot but im a polite boy so i dont say ass ๐
someone have a good wa pastebin for this trait ?
Either works tho
@ionic charm thank you ๐
29 stacks?
Because you auto attack in pairs and 1 could be wasted
Itโs a fairly forgiving trait in actual practice, since your damage is far more reliant on crits than the difference between 29 and 30 stacks
Pk crits, that is
Thats ideal if you time it perfectly but perfect timing usually results in a lost gcd and a sad rogue
Itโs even more annoying with MA because it never lines up with vanish
It feels like it never lines with vend either, it statistically does but it feels this way lol
is it really that better on aoe to aim for aoe stat weights?
@hollow stone when I do my opener with lust and few parries/misses, I get my first 30 stack before vendetta falls, thatโs always a fat opener, but only happens like 25% of the time
Yea. I havent played sb in weeks now and i think i had the same thing, i just felt the timings always sucked. Unlike cold heart for frost dk that lines up perfectly every time
Its all feely tho, chances are i had some good sb timings but im a salt boi
Sure. I ended up accidentally using SB even on M Zek and getting a 99 lol. Itโs really not as bad as most people think, and not as bad as it feels
No. Its a decent trait and adds some flavor to the spec, just not a fan myself
Would still be using if it simmed higher for me tho lol
Btw, ty for those who do help--please try to keep the misinfo to an accidental minimum, remember you are not obligated to answer questions and "helping others" isn't free license to act like a turdlord.
But again, ty for those who do help the community. You are appreciated. And Off-topic is for everyone, not just the people hanging out there now. If that wasn't clear.
Back to sin talk, sorry for the interruption!
It sims highest so I use it. But I notice more situations where itโs useful than where I notice it being a nuisance. Would much rather have a DD piece at same ilvl tho
Just dont run it if doing ghuun orbs, dagger toss for the cysts is too good and you waste your stacks constantly lol
Lol I run first orb I donโt give a fuck about my dps on that
Iโve given up on explaining what stealth is
Yeah thats true. It might even be worth saving a full stack for vuln phase and vanish it too
Prob get a nasty crit
Yeah itโs pretty nice. And during first beam you can pad on Gโhuun in the Wall since you get another 30 stack before he comes out ๐
Ooo. My cheese fellow
Although thatโs just to make myself feel better about not getting to open from stealth
I always do that crap, raid is yelling to get in efflorescence and im just teeing off gettin dem parses lol
In heroic I donโt see why itโs an issue. The aoe damage is like 60% of your hp over 15s
Iโll pop crimson vial and be fine if itโs really an โissueโ
Yea. Exactly. Its like 1 vial use
Anyway, need to get some work done. @ me if questions
And sim yo selves
Could I live through a zekvoz donut with feint
Yeah even in mythic
I'm gonna need some data. Cause if I die I'll be sad
Vial?
yeah Vial
Iโm sure in my kill logs I feinted through at least 2
And are you specced into elusiveness
CD always baby
K just making sure
I still donโt think itโs even worth taking for M vectis
I see some people run elusiveness in M+
Leeching poison, that is
I know it is. But I don't die in that fight to mechanics, so I'm trying to see if I can just stay on one of the casters during donuts
You can, not sure how much elusiveness would even help, unless void bolt casts are going off (at which point youโre dead anyways), what damage is going out that isnโt aoe?
if you're doing the fight right, you shouldn't have to eat any donuts for adds
The 30% isnโt worth that muc
Ehhh depends on group dps, my guild ran into a point sometimes where 2nd set of adds could have the last add overlap with circles. But even then youโre probably better off just dodging
Feint is nice to have when you mess up
@hazy sphinx found it in my logs, it did 80k with feint up. Not too big of a deal to take if you vial too
Solar beam is op for dance/adds phase, which i think is 2nd set of adds
They just stand there like dumbs
if (for whatever reason) you have no SS traits. During raids, i assume its worth swapping out subterfuge? anyone in this situation able to place a recommend an alternative?
Sim yo self. But master assassin should outperform subt without ss
thank you ๐
Looking for some adviceโ370 Archive or 340 SS for mythic+ high-ish keys (9+)? Other 2 traits are 340 SS, 370 SS
If you have other ss, i recommend that 370 arc over a 340 ss
Based on my feelycraft testing (did a lot of keys), i was in a very similar trait/ilvl to you and archive runs were more dmg
@stuck shuttle you're benched
Hmm thanks Iโll try that out tonight
Sorry that i dont have actual data for you
My 6t 40s sims say SS 340 is better by .5% but thatโs with vanish so..
hey there is Darkmoon Deck: Fathoms worth to buy?
Sim it and see
And then you factor in boss dps too and archive should be better
370 archive is way better than 340ss
unless you have multiple 380+ strong trinekts, fathoms is most definitely worth it
@smoky topaz chances are it will be an upgrade, however that might be small, and โworthโ is relative
Sim fo sho for fathoms but it is likely a good buy. Ive been using mine since week 1
Depends how rich you are
on my servers its like 60k. can farm that in an hour easily. its not expensive
Im poor and itโs a .4% upgrade for me at this point, I havenโt bought it even though I can now
@ruby pelican Im running exactly the same setup: 370Archive + 340SS +370SS
Way better than 340SSx2 +370SS
when do u guys use first vanish when not playing the SS build? guide says to use it when garrote is about to run out but wouldnt it be better to save it for the next TB?
Tb/ma?
Ideally, you want to van w tb buff up and 5cp so you can env m env (if lucky w the m crit) or env m m
or Garrote > mut > rup > ven > van > tb
Opener is s bit diff, like michee is saying
I dont think u want to get 4cp before first vanish though
In the normal rotation sure
The fact that Vanish env mut env (with no Tb up)is how the apl uses secondary vanishes completely baffles me
I donโt get how that beats a subterfuge empowered garrote
Agreed. Opener is different based on the apl, i do my own slight variation on the apl opener but thats personal preference and suboptimal if executed perfectly
Yeah for like 7 seconds. But the thing I was more curious about is that they vanish with no cp and mut first
What is todayโs emissary reward on NA?
Wait what
Lol what the actual fuck is that
Is that using MA? Or is that subterfuge without ss traits?
Guys, outside of opener, what do you use vanish for?
Lol youโve got to be kidding
I have both 1 ss or archive trait ( m+ or raid )
APL is weird sometimes
Look up top parses on wowlogs
See what those people are doing
@strange python when you say t22 you mean the simc generic sims? Because looking at that it shows 2 archive and 1 twist the knife
!wa
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)
https://wago.io/E1EB91OtM (Lokkek's Group)
https://wago.io/SyLUNGD4X (Sovv's Group)
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
Btw, anyone else noticed that assas ravenholdt guide has 2 " master assassin talented " opener sections, but they are different ๐
@hollow stone apparently t22 apl for MA shows 2nd and 3rd vanish with 4 cp, env mut mut
Thatโs new
does heed my call scale from toxic blade since it's nature damage? like the tooltip and the debuff are saying 2 different things unless i'm missing something
tooltip says "nature damage you deal" then debuff says "increased damage from poisons"
Not like you can control the procs so it shouldnโt matter too much, right?
Or just curious?
Sorry if this has been asked multiple times, but what is the clear opener for MA and TB (with noSS). Gar, Mut, Rup, Vendetta? Vanish - (TB, Mut, Env) all in MA window?
of course i know that i'm just curious. it would also affect envenom if it were just poisons too, which i can control
got unlucky with the mut inside the crit window, but yeah
So you pop TB outside of the Mut window? Were you able to fit 2 Env in the MA window there?
in logs how can i see how many CP were spent for an ability
MA* window
@steel nexus Tb affects envenom damage, yes.
if i crit, i can fit 2 evenoms inside the vanish window
Noob / Alt assassin here. I just got a GC. Where are folks fitting in the use on the opener? After opener on CD ? (TB, 1 SS, shitty dagz :P )
on that log i didnt crit
so it would seem the debuff is wrong
what do you guys think about hidden blades?
Reasons for TB'ing before Vanish/MA window?
to hjavge the buff in the weindow for 2 buffed enveoms
it works really well, if your mut inside the Ma window crits
@steel nexus envenom does poison damage. Poison damage is nature damage but not all nature damage is poison damage. TB buffs envenom, DP, Pbomb, double dose. Idk about the rest
Oh hai guys
Ok cool thank you @round harbor
in logs how can i see how many CP were spent for an ability
oh heyyyyyyyy
@steel nexus Iโm going to revise that statement and say it does all nature damage. Guessing it affects heed, since the actual spell applies an aura increasing nature school damage taken
ty
i'm gonna send in a ticket to see if the debuff can get reworded and see what they say
wow
@steel nexus it goes even deeper my dude. Heed says it does nature damage but the school of the spell is physical. Who even knows how that affects it
How to use gcb in raid with TB?? ๐
On cd
Always??
As far as the sim apl says
Barring a situation where you know you are about to have to move
Don't pop it during Zek'vos Donuts
I slap it down around the time I Vendetta
if you pop it on Opener, GCB shoulder be up after donuts end
are lasers and titans any good in m+s
@stuck shuttle Just an example
Donโt use laser in m+
As to a time you would not want to use it
Itโs dumb af
Ill try, thx guys
I mean, it doesn't matter, if your tank is like mine, he will arbitrarily re-position the boss right after
Laser matrix proccing off of sap is the dumbest thing in the world
Or, you'll pop it, and someone will come try and stand on you, like they are going to benefit from it
pretty sure other people dont see the rune from GCB on the ground
you dont see 90%of all trinket effects in groups
Well then my DH must just really like me
he wants to Eyebeam you
Because dude loves to come and hug me when I pop it
i was being told earlier that laser was hotfixed for m+ to not pull additional mobs, but i had someone fuck my 10 key the other day with laser. whats the case with thata?
that*
2 nights ago my friend had it proc on sap. When was it supposed to have been fixed?
I didn't see anything about LM being fixed, I saw something about Fathoms not proccing on non-combat abilities anymore
ok so the dude was bullshitting
Well I didn't say that
ill say it for you dont worry
@steel nexus as far ik, laser only atack enemys on combat, some times sap can activate combat, and some adds, like toldagor before second boss, r already in combat, so matrix can target
im reading posts about this being a problem for people as of 3 days ago, and ive read every hotfix since like 2 weeks ago. so
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/f86zv6448WuJjL1EBvHN9G can anyone reccomend me items i should grind m+ for or what i should save rerolls for on HC and early mythic bosses
trinket from shrine, pray for SS azerites, m+ u should be playing bleed
@indigo verge I'm not sure if you are joking, but I guess your belt could be better?
M Mother for dagger on coin since your best is 375
look on your own into the loottable and on bloodmallet/herodamage for trinkets?
holping for mother mythic dagger til today -.-'' other rogue already have 2 385+
And yeah, Mother for dagger
Is 370 archive better than 385 swirling sands? Might be able to coin the archive helm too @indigo verge
for m+? i would say no
Other rogue from my guild got 375 mace from mother, 370 fist from Ghuun, 370 dagger from mother and 385 dagger from mother
I got zero weapons so far
What do you guys think about Double Dose over Shrouded Suffocation?
RNG life
@lilac lily this is my world to
last week got my first 370+ weapon, and i farm m+ alot -.-''
still waiting on my 370 weapons FeelsBadMan
I'm still rocking a 355 offhand, but I don't do M+ nearly enough, because I hate people
ah, a fellow misanthrope
@tropic heron Not allowed
not even 2 370 i have https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/a7teMGYANhkzZvi7k7X3C6
how much of a dps upgrade is it to go from 340 weapons to 370's? approx
one mother dagger = +310 dps for me https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5EzcZ5sqqauJMqpkWNkFJt
is 20 ilvl
Thatโs not that much tbh, I thought it would be more
yeah same lol
Worth noting OH is not as much also
what if my rogue is ambidextrous
Basically a second wrist stat wise
I thought he was talking Mh upgrade since he doesnโt have a 370 yet
15ilvl on offhand for me is 100 dps
@tropic heron Lol buddy that was just a joke from earlier when I got muted
Replacing my 360 with a 385 OH gave me ~100 dps
My 365 socketed oh beats 380 unsocketed
i dont understand, i have 3 370 archives ( 5 stack), 1 370 matrix, 1 385 double dose, why do it sim me 2 archives and 1 DD ? And not 1 Archive, 1 matrix, 1 DD ?
ok but, 1 archive + 1 matrix, is not better than 2 archives ?
i mean, there is a drop on the 2 stack
@stuck shuttle Well that makes me feel a bit better
hey fellas been a long time mage and made the jump over to an assassination char (always wanted one) - I have read a lot of guides and it seems a lot contradict itself but while I am just PvE'ing solo - WQ's and Quests what is the basic rotation I should be doing?
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
follow the rotation there
If one archive is better than one matrix why would it change
I would use TB for leveling
@pulsar bluff No, I am telling you, and so is the sim, 2 x Archive is better than one of each
the high dps gain on the graph is because of the raid buff, and only activete at first raid piece ( archive or lm ) so, next one is low, best setup r 1Archive and 2 DD or 1 Archive and 2 SS @pulsar bluff
i think he's looking at Herodamage
so bloodmalet is lying ? If i add the valor of 1 stack of each, its better
and sees LM at the top
buff only applies once @pulsar bluff
either 1x LM or 1x Archive
Well, careful, there are two buffs in play there
No, but you do get double the stat on the Archive buff
@pulsar bluff is not lying, could be missleading, but if u know what the things do, prob u could tell why the first piece of LM and Archive gives alot dps
And bloodmallet/herodamage use a generic, high ilvl, build for Sims. It could change for your character
The stat gain from Archive, outside of Reorg array, is just strong
My guild and I were doing Heroic Zul last night, and MULTIPLE times I used toxic blade/another ability, it spent the energy/put it in cooldown, but the ability didnโt actually do damage/apply toxic blade
Anyone have this problem?
Or is it just server lag
parry?
Did you target switch?
Iโm like 99% sure
btw i think the first breakpoint for haste is 30%=2k haste, now my best stats r mastery,crit and agi
I was behind him
but that 1% is creeping up on you now huh?
Because it applies it to the target, not to you, so if you stab him and tab target to the crusher, it will look like it didn't aplly
parry is the only thing that makes sense from what you said
I mean, I don't know why you would do that
unless its what the other guy is talking about
@prime void โค
bleed? ST? raid?
for me haste AND crit are worth more than agil atm x) weird
for me is mastery cuz i have 2100 haste for ST inside raid
ST; TB/PB
back to legion xD
yeah.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/w1KtZ61TSV98B2dd1u7Xfu
For me crit is now below Mastery and Agi and Haste for ST
wtf
Yeah seems about right
@calm grail dat shoulder
Also a 385 DD
TB MA is the new master race

Slap on a Mythic Vectis hood and I'm a happy man.
Nice daggers btw
I wouldnโt play MA if youโre susceptible to feelycraft, it feels horrible but does well
im not aiming for the best simc build, i just think bleed is better for this raid, with thoses traits, for now, will stick with bleed, even my tb build simc 100 more
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5EzcZ5sqqauJMqpkWNkFJt
MA as in Master Assassin?
Yes
yes
MA does fine for me, just follow the APL regarding vanish use and the opener.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/28Q5PNAN2Lj8RyeowtneBc need the Vectis hood too , and i'll be happy.
Yeah, obviously in the realm of opinion here, but MA seems completely normal to me
Which apparently the apl switched from using 2nd and 3rd vanish as mut env mut to env mut mut
All apples and oranges based on what you're running.
If I had some really juicy shrouded Suffocation traits I would go back to exsanguinate and subterfuge.
@ionic charm depends on the amount of cp the u have before vanish probably
yeah, i dont have any SS either. Im archived out with one Double Dose
@warm geode apl is pooling but Idk about what an actual human would do
i just want one SS head or shoulder, and im done
It's probably a result of gear, but I don't find myself pooling that much.
@ionic charm cant tell, i dont play poison build dat much
I usually just have the appropriate energy
Apl pools for like 6-8s in between every Tb, itโs absurd
well, i pool to almost full energy and 3cp before tb
I get why, but that being ideal... god damn that sucks
Haha
sitting there with your thumb up your ass
Exactly
We need Antorus tier DP crit energy regen back
Whos ready for this new outer ring of azerite traits? You guys see the one for vandetta?
Vandetta? Is that where you hit them with your vehicle? ๐
I honestly haven't looked at them
English not my first language, that would be good
@ionic charm when i swap to sin at bfa, with 5% haste, i was so bored, no energy, now im good, not like antorus tier, but is more fast passe
It was a corny joke, no offense intended
Fair enough
i didnt like the vendetta one
Seems good for PVP. Boring everywhere else.
"Nothing personal"
make one like this: vendetta now dont give energy to the user and dont apply a debuff to the target, now the user gain a 30% damage increse for the duration
would be nice
I almost don't want to look, they will probably change all of them
@velvet kernel After TB
@strange python Just for you
@velvet kernel Yes? I mean, you use it after TB in your opener
every class i played can use his most ofensive cd for AoE or ST, only sin can use only for ST
lame
The APL has you vanishing into TB
but thats why sin is boss damage king
Vanish TB Muti Envenom
@strange python So, is that an extra 50 energy on top of the 60 that Vendetta already gives
sin would be quite busted if you allowed vendetta to applay to all targets
about what we do already
hello guys i have a question in my head for several days i was wondering if 2x archive of titans is any good or if its better to replace one with a ss or dd or smth , cant sim it my self cuz i dont have 2 of those
@calm grail Yes, but it was tested yesterday, TB > Vanish is superior by 33 sim dps
its already extremely good in multi-target situations
maybe 50 instantly then the 60 over three seconds
So how do you open then? Garrote mutilate rupture x x x?
which isnt like. Groundbreaking like Kingsbane was
Yea. You cant have vend as a player buff instead of a target debuff and keep it the same. There's a reason its 30% on a 2m cd; its called balance
but its still better than this
@ornate prawn the answer is sim, sry, u can get the strings to tryout at wowhead, but the most optimal gear, now, with same ilvl r, 1 archive and 2 SS(bleed) and 1 archive and 2 DD(poison)
Look at other big cds to see the % they get vs their cd
G > Mut > Rup > Mut to 4 > Vend > TB > Van > Env > Pray for 4CP Mut > Env
G M R Vendetta Mut to 4, TB, Vanish, Envenom Mut Envenom is what I do @calm grail
So yea, Vend placement matters ver little
Ultimately, the point is 33 sim dps is nothing
Awe. So cute. You guys said the same thing AND are right (even if the apl says otherwise)
@stuck shuttle if mutilate dont give 4 cp, mutilate again?
So the way I have been doing it is ๐
So it doesn't matter, don't train new muscle memory if you dont want to
Yea
@warm geode my question was what is the best gear possible u just answered, thx mate
With my crit I get 80 with MA and 86 if blightborne procs instantly lol
That was such a nice heated discussion.
I even had a short dream about it.
When we took down Cargo.
@ornate prawn this is for ST inside raid, for m+ i would say 3 SS 385
@hazy sphinx Ha
With all my stuff up Envenom hits for like 55k
With 25% base crit, its like 90% chance that you get 3cp and 56% that you get 4cp during mut in ma
@warm geode yeah obviously m+ is 3 ss but good luck finding 3 ss 385 lol
@calm grail Yeah, and thats why I like fishing for 2 in the Vanish window
Or, I guess the MA window
I noticed that when you open with toxic blade out of stealth you have to go real fast to fit that envenom in there
Start living the TB > Vanish life bruh
Welcome to the life.
You shouldnt open w tb
This was simmed.
Idk how to maths 75% mh crit OR 75% oh crit. Both is .75 x .75 which is about .56
So i just estimated 90% for 3+
So for the ma opener
i garote rupture vendetta
๐
So 94% to get 3cp+
then vanish and then what?
@velvet kernel That isn't what either of us said
Just run away
Which is definitely good enough for me
@velvet kernel garrote,mutilate,rupture,vendetta,mutilate,tb,vanish,envenon,mutilate,envenon, from what ppl r saying now
@warm geode
G > Mut > Rup > Mut to 4 > Vend > TB > Van > Env > Pray for 4CP Mut > Env
ty
I vanish and run. No time to fight those who can't see you.
I just /lay and die
@hazy sphinx good strat
Damage is shit, but my DPS is through the ROOF
@hollow stone break out the Poisson distribution calculator
/sleep + right click spam on soul well for max prepull dps prep
i just hope they do something to blindside
Get yo wiggle on
would be nice to have execute for progression
Yeah. I want it to be good so badly
I still think the best idea is to swap places with MA. But theyโll never do that
Esp with the potential synergy of blindside and archive stacks
guys i did sim exanguinate agaisnt toxic blade and it gives 0.3 more damage , but im pretty sure its on single target , would it give me more dps on aoe if i count that i can do it with a few ruptures?
Today, I'm going to get 99 parses and 90+ on right isde.
On EVERY SINGLE BOSS ON HEROIC
good lucky trying to get zekvoz buff with all raid
dumb question sorry - can sin use a non-dagger offhand like outlaw can? i only have one 370 dagger rn
Xsang is better on aoe
I'll tell me buddies I need to parse.
Tb has no aoe use imo
ok thanks @hollow stone
@outer depot is a huge dps loss
i guess ill run exanguinate on myth +
Get buff, get killed, brez, get buff.
The adds are worthless in heroic. They die before I can eve drop off a damn fok
Thats what im doing
Xsang is like a mini adrenaline rush so more foks and more cts
Nice lol
@outer depot from what i remember 30ilvl diference for sin and sub using sword
for outlaw is the same thing, 0ilvl diference
on offhand
mainhand would be dagger, but offhand is a giant dps loss if its a non-dagger 1h?
yeah
cant even use muti
Sin has to use 2 daggers
340 dagger = 370 sword on offhand for sin and sub
Outlaw can oh dagger, sub can oh nondagger. Sin cannot
well bummer, back to spamming bonus coins on every dagger dropper in sight and getting nothing then ๐ฆ thanks guys
I reached 1k IO. And with that crowning achievement, I got my second 370 dagger.
Unless you are genning with fok only
or just sub, since @hollow stone remember, sin only works with 2 daggers
Sub needs 1 dagger. Sin needs 2 daggers. Outlaw needs 1 sword/mace thing
And today, I'm going to get 2 DAGGERS FROM MYTHIC MOTHER
lol im 997 raider io with sin specced for every +10 or higher ive done in 2 weeks
still dont have a second dagger
game sucks
It took a while.
Daggers are the bane of my existence. We have 4 m mother kills and 3 rogues. No daggers
Whomp whomp
Thats... 24 rolls lol
@hollow stone And you said you didn't maths....
we have 4 daggers in 3 mythic mother for 3 rogues, i dont have any
Maths expert here now
counting bonus roll
i rerolled um
i got zul dagger yesterday finally
