nice CT value bru

sullen pagoda
#

but not like that boss is even relevant you can meme whatever u want there

strange python
#

very meaningful CT dmg

hollow stone
#

Gotta cheese to parse 😃

strange python
#

Its still not bad for zek

#

🤷

crisp hollow
#

it contributes nothing to Zek

#

if your sin rogue is needed to aoe the small adds

#

your comp is irreparable

Edit to Don's pin:

  1. If you aren't going to be friendly/helpful, don't answer questions
  2. If you aren't going to be friendly/receptive, and just going to argue, don't ask questions
  3. The place for memeing and such is #off-topic

Mods will be strictly enforcing rules in spec channels. This is not the place for banter or conversations other than regarding assassination rogue. Move to off topic if you need to. Please kindly encourage others to do so when you notice conversation shifting. Tysm xoxo

I mean, most guilds will not keep up crawgs solely for Sub rogues to build off of.

ionic charm
#

If your group doesn’t have a fdk or outlaw rogue or demon hunter, maybe I could see going CT, but otherwise it’s just padding

crisp hollow
#

LOL

desert whale
#

If everyone cleaves them and you are zerging boss, SIN > Sub

crisp hollow
#

this is in M

#

where Sub cheese invalidates zul

#

any guild not smart enough to plan around that

#

won't make it to zul to begin with

ionic charm
#

You could be like the two sin rogues who padded on Zul with CT and made the fight take 20% longer

desert whale
#

Sin just better for boss dmg in general on heroic w/ zerg strat

crisp hollow
#

oh heroic

#

yeah sorry i was referring to relevant content mb

desert whale
#

Relevant content with a non relevant spec cheesing a strat

crisp hollow
#

you lost me there chief

desert whale
#

Sub is the worst performing spec out of the three.

sullen pagoda
mossy hazel
#

We had this conversation the other day. It's not really cheesing, it's kind of just what Sub does as far as I'm concerned

desert whale
#

You can't look at logs in a vacuum cribs

#

Those rogues have full uptime on crawgs.... Good luck trying to orchestrate that for yourself.

forest patio
#

2x SS and 1x archives or 2x SS with 1x Archives with +10 ilvl bonus on helm?

ionic charm
#

If there’s 6+ targets and you need to kill 1 of them, Sub is the best spec in the game...

crisp hollow
#

ehh i consider it cheese to have 2 sin players switch to neutral traits or high agi pieces and bring someone 368 alt to spam shuriken storm and eviscerate

#

let alone stacking 5+ like some guilds have the means to

humble crane
#

7*

mossy hazel
#

Ok yea I'll give you "cheese" if the raid is building comp around mostly sub rogues

humble crane
#

guilds take 7 XD

sullen pagoda
#

@crisp hollow i mean if you play rogue you shouldn't lock yourself into one spec you should be able to play any of them

crisp hollow
#

yeah nobody said i did

ionic charm
#

There is a big difference between cheese that helps you kill a boss faster and in the easiest way, and cheese that refers to padding on adds you shouldn’t be focusing on

mossy hazel
#

But I mean we've got 3 rogues in our core group, I wouldn't call it cheese if we all switched to sub for that fight

sullen pagoda
#

its sad when players consider themself "mythic raider" and can play only one spec

rich wren
#

You guys are out for blood today

desert whale
#

You want to stack mastery for M zul anyway when you're sub

drifting elbow
#

now i have 2SS 370 azerites for m+ feelsyarrman

crisp hollow
#

the reality of azerite is i am not in a position to be a fully optimized sub rogue when needed to be

#

and zul is cheesy because optimization for sub

#

doesnt matter

ionic charm
#

@crisp hollow what you haven’t gotten a first dance piece every week like myself?

mossy hazel
#

@sullen pagoda ONly one spec? I can only play 1 spec of 1 class! Lol

ionic charm
#

The game is just waiting for zul

desert whale
#

Also, just because Sub performs well on one fight due to leaving crawgs up JUST for the rogues and no one else cleaves doesn't mean that its still the worst performing spec out of all 3

humble crane
#

You dont have to be optimised for sub to pull 30k dps.

desert whale
#

If you look at top parses for all fights, sub has the least representation.

crisp hollow
#

oh im 6/8M i know

#

i think my best zul kill is 41k

humble crane
#

sure optimisation pushes some of the other rogues up much higher

ionic charm
#

@desert whale literally nobody said anything about sub other than it being good for zul

crisp hollow
#

which is a blue pars LOL

humble crane
#

yeah but who cares about parsing in progression =/

crisp hollow
#

not the point

desert vault
#

If you are running GCB do you pretty much have to run Exsang? My sims don't show it being much better, but hero damage shows it being miles better with Exsang

crisp hollow
#

41k is 68th percentile

#

nuts how high the damage can get on that fight

#

is what i was pointing out

strange python
#

Are the "Fan of Blades" and "Meticulous Scheming" traits useless? Got a new shoulder piece with them (15 ilvl more) and they are a 1253 and a 958 DPS loss.

ionic charm
#

And sin top is 36k bUt YoU sHOuLd rUN iT fOR ZuL

crisp hollow
#

that guy is talking about heroic

forest patio
#

is it really worth it to run 1 SS over 3x Archives?

crisp hollow
#

which is kinda right

humble crane
#

mages no1 anyway

hollow cloud
#

I just prefer having 1 SS GWsetmyxPeepoWeird

forest patio
#

how come

hollow cloud
#

feels weird not having it

forest patio
#

sims telling me its not worth

safe root
#

ya im use to the opener with it

meager quarry
#

Guhh losing SS for a 2nd dagger in the back, this is giving me anxiety

safe root
#

with exsg atleast

hollow cloud
#

Yeh im unsure how it is for TB since i dont use it

crisp hollow
#

i got blightborne shoulders from chest today, was surprised to see how high they are on herodamage

hollow cloud
#

but no SS with exsang feels off

forest patio
#

yeah i feel you

#

thats wat im used to

ionic charm
#

@crisp hollow tbh I think it’s the same situation as Zek, if you’re trying to pad going full mongo on tiny adds, outlaw is the way

forest patio
#

but im not sure the reasoning why people use 1 ss over 3x archives if it sims higher

ionic charm
#

And blightborne is amazing. Been using them for weeks. 20% extra crit with 20% uptime. It’s great

hollow cloud
#

Im just going with the "it feels better"

crisp hollow
#

yet another top gear sim for me

humble crane
#

I got shurikan toss chest piece, 385, sims 400 higher than my double dose 370 XD. Hits for 52k at 30 stacks too lol

safe root
#

thats the best maths @hollow cloud

hollow cloud
#

Feelycraft best craft

safe root
#

:)

forest patio
#

XD

crisp hollow
#

toss is super fun, felt sad giving up my triple 340 shuriken toss setup

ionic charm
#

When people take off SS people think their damage is worse because their opener is smaller. That’s about it. Happened to me too, just gotta get used to it

crisp hollow
#

i think the highest i got in sub with that gear was something stupid like 90k

ionic charm
#

1 stack of sharpened blades is still good for sin at least

humble crane
#

yeah im using it, its 400 dps sim increase over what I had (370 > 385)

forest patio
#

when i look at the top 50 allstar parses tho all of them use at least 1 ss tho šŸ¤”

woeful wraith
#

for what boss?

mossy hazel
#

What the hell even is the allstar parse?

crisp hollow
#

its probably one of the best patchwerk traits just no real reason to prefer it over SS/DD/Backdagger at same ilvl

calm cedar
#

Any advice on minimizing down time between rotations? Seems I have a lot of it.

opaque grotto
#

@crisp hollow if you used dark shadows with sub you could throw like 120k shuriken tosses

#

It was hilarious

drifting elbow
#

a system that counts ur all boss kills parses

desert vault
#

Exsang on CD basically?

mossy hazel
#

Thanks Veq

humble crane
#

Im running 1 ss, 1 archives, 1 st atm

crisp hollow
#

yeah people overthink exsang

north crane
#

total dps is not very important on zul fight, what really matters is the BOSS damage

safe root
#

^

north crane
#

if you are doing 40k TOTAL dps you have the wrong gear

drifting elbow
#

for assa, sure

north crane
#

i'm talking about sub

terse crescent
#

The longer zul is up, the more adds. So do you want to treat the symptom or the cause of the adds

north crane
#

logs means nothing

#

on zul

terse crescent
#

Kinda the theory why people are stacking sub

drifting elbow
#

means nothing

crisp hollow
#

is zul worth allstar points still?

safe root
#

lol

drifting elbow
#

its certainly not nothing

humble crane
crisp hollow
#

thought he'd get the eonar treatment pretty quickly

terse crescent
#

Logs pretty quickly become meaningless when people cheese parses

drifting elbow
#

well its just one spec doing ridiculous dmg with add being up

crisp hollow
#

its also a wash for mages too

#

once the general populace is better geared and sub isnt needed to meet push times

#

you'll seem boomkin rise too

opaque grotto
#

Yea aoe dmg = more ST for frost mage since infinite frost orbs

terse crescent
#

Logs aren't the problem, they can be really useful to see where you step wrong in a rotation or when you goof on a pull. When people see it as a scoreboard for DPS meters is when they lose meaning

opaque grotto
#

It is a scoreboard the fuq

crisp hollow
#

logs are the most important part of raiding and contribute to it as a positive experience

#

jingle there's more to logs than rankings

#

lol

opaque grotto
#

I understand but at its core it’s a leaderboard

crisp hollow
#

no

sturdy python
#

It can be a scoreboard as long as people consider the whole situation. Not just the number

drifting elbow
#

i only care about parse when its purple/orange ranking

crisp hollow
#

at its core its a rundown of the encounter

ionic charm
#

What point do logs have if not to show other I am better than they are? Kappa

sturdy python
#

And it's most important purpose its a recap

crisp hollow
#

if you're not checking logs between pulls to see what the issue is

calm cedar
#

Does my energy starvation between rotations get any better as ilvl goes up?

crisp hollow
#

or your RL isn't

#

then you're wasting time

#

in mythic

opaque grotto
#

Of course I’m checking my guild’s logs, but when you just go to WCL.com

#

You see a leaderboard

drifting elbow
#

energy starvation depends on ur haste lazz

#

more haste means more energy in ST

calm cedar
#

Okay. I just feel useless for about 5 seconds between rotational.

ionic charm
#

@calm cedar crit and haste will alleviate that, but it will never go away. Sin’s playstyle is energy starved

sturdy python
#

And have to make sure your bleeds and poisons stay up for Max regen

terse crescent
#

I mean that people go there to cheese high parses as frost mage on zul, have super high damage done but 30% to zul total

#

30% of their damage dealt to zul

calm cedar
#

Okay. I am doing that. I am still under 315 ilvl, so I figure I may be worrying about it a bit much

terse crescent
#

That doesn't mean they're good, means they're good at padding

opaque grotto
#

Yeah man, I understand that and it’s fun to try to top the leaderboards

warm geode
#

is ok to post rage on blizz about weekly here?

terse crescent
#

And that won't make you a good raider/player

#

How about off topic @warm geode

opaque grotto
#

Well, cheesing parses probably means you have it on farm

drifting elbow
#

good padder plans how to pad 😜

crisp hollow
ionic charm
#

@terse crescent not to speak against your point, but at least people who can cheese well generally know the encounter well enough to do it

terse crescent
#

Then it's not about raiding anymore is it

crisp hollow
#

how rough you think a 12-13 tol dagor would be this week?

drifting elbow
#

not bad

crisp hollow
#

and should i be sin for it

#

debating if thats a sub dungeon or not

drifting elbow
#

u r NA i guess

crisp hollow
#

correct

#

dont hold it against me

drifting elbow
#

yeah idk what are affix for new weeks

ionic charm
#

Sanguine is actually kind of annoying for TD, but not anything that really sucks

crisp hollow
#

fort sang griev

#

should be easy but i could be underestimating griev

strange python
#

just get hpal

inner pecan
#

sanguine is annoying in TD

sturdy python
#

They nerfed griev in bfa

drifting elbow
#

sanguine is annoying in any indoor dungeon

crisp hollow
#

hpal not that amazing rn

sturdy python
#

Only 1.3 per stack

supple hearth
#

@warm geode no

crisp hollow
#

currently lacking in throughput compared to Disc/MW

strange python
#

disc is meta rn

crisp hollow
#

(thats what my healers tell me anyway)

ionic charm
#

Also bop isn’t worth anything so their utility got shit on for m+

crisp hollow
#

disc will still be #1 after the 8.1 nerfs according to Jdotb

#

so i for one welcome our new shield overlords

ruby idol
#

Meanwhile 2 of the top 3 NA healers are druids. We have small brains

inner pecan
#

disc/mw/druid are all good

#

for m+

crisp hollow
#

we sometimes run with a disc priest who finished at 6.5k io in legion and wouldve been at MDI if he wasn't in quebec

inner pecan
#

wouldn't say one is miles ahead of any other

crisp hollow
#

its kinda nuts how safe i feel

ionic charm
#

I like rdruids, having another confirmed bres besides bdk is nice

crisp hollow
#

can they still catweave to a decent extent?

ionic charm
#

Ye

safe root
#

ya they can do decent numbers

#

considering

crisp hollow
#

disc rn is looking like the best healer dps while having nutty healing

inner pecan
#

disc priest's biggest weakness is actually spothealing/tankhealing

crisp hollow
#

MW dps is super low atm

inner pecan
#

they have pretty much nothing to spotheal other than Shadow Mend

crisp hollow
#

yeah but that is more or less handled through prep for unavoidable mechanics (third boss in Motherlode)

ruby idol
#

Dont need to do dmg when you apply 5% physical dmg debuff :)

crisp hollow
#

and by just not getting hit by avoidables

undone lodge
#

i still dont know some terms in english, like "padding" for example..what does it mean?

inner pecan
#

some things can't get prep'd for

drifting elbow
#

padding is doing a lot of pointless dmg

inner pecan
#

think eudora powdershots on high tyra

#

disc struggles hard with that

ionic charm
#

@undone lodge doing extra damage on targets that don’t matter. Pushing your dps number up for logs. Like padding on a bra

strange python
drifting elbow
#

cant blame girls padding bra's

crisp hollow
#

you know i think it takes more effort to LMGTFY than to just explain a definition

undone lodge
#

@drifting elbow @ionic charm @strange python ahhhh thanks, gonna read it

visual token
#

But lmgtfy is more insulting

crisp hollow
#

if you're insulting people in a WoW class discord you have very little self awareness

#

we're all trash here

#

irl

undone lodge
#

LMGTFY.... i get it, sorry, should've done that before i ask šŸ™‡

visual token
#

I google all the things. Next to the sim god there is the google god.

mossy hazel
#

Can we get a "Check the Google" reaction?

noble hound
#

How does Sharpened Blades work into the rotatoin? just cast Poisoned Knife at max stacks?

crisp hollow
#

yeah for sin SB is really straightforward

#

for sub you wanna have some damage buffs lined up when you use it

ionic charm
#

@noble hound use at 29 stacks, since you auto attack in pairs you are likely to miss a stack if you wait for 30 when you’re already at 29. Preferably have EP up before you use it, don’t hold max stacks in order to use a finisher first, but try to plan for having EP up at max stacks

noble hound
#

Okay thanks

#

Got a 45 ilvl helm upgrade, so figured i'd try to learn how to use SB

ionic charm
#

If you just use it when it’s at 30 stacks it’ll still be good. Just there’s a slightly more ideal way to use it

vestal plank
#

Hey guys, swapping to exsanguinate for the first time is there anything super important i should know?

mossy hazel
#

Use at max duration bleeds

ionic charm
#

It snapshots haste, apply all haste buffs before casting exs, and let dots fall completely off

vestal plank
#

Alright cheers guys

undone lodge
mossy hazel
#

Yup

undone lodge
#

should i*

mossy hazel
#

But also simself

#

Because your stat weights could be different

undone lodge
#

i always sim tbh

mossy hazel
#

You sim stat weights?

undone lodge
#

thanks @mossy hazel šŸŗ

mossy hazel
#

Because that will tell you which stats you should currently be pumping

fathom cosmos
#

Am i supposed to be pooling energy for TB?

undone lodge
#

yeah did that always after changing gears

restive inlet
mossy hazel
#

@fathom cosmos yea you would want to make sure you have enough energy to get at least 2 full envenoms off during TB

undone lodge
#

thanks @restive inlet i always did stat weighing when changing gears

strange hatch
#

The more relevant Q would be, are you willing to let g/rup fall off while TB is up

restive inlet
#

you can also use those weights to figure out if you need more of a certain stat, which stat to focus on etc

glass palm
#

guys im new to assasination, my question is, why would I vanish on cd (according to guides) ?

undone lodge
mossy hazel
#

Yu[

#

*Yup

restive inlet
#

yes

undone lodge
#

weapons are pretty hard to find LOL

restive inlet
#

and as you can see, weapons are insanely important. that number is so much bigger than anything else

ionic charm
#

@strange hatch someone in #tc-research posted some sims showing that over refreshing rupture before TB was a .3% increase over refreshing rupture during Tb

#

And both were preferable to letting it drop

mossy hazel
#

@glass palm Depending on your talents or traits, Vanish is going to put you back into stealth to activate stealth only damage increases

strange hatch
#

That sounds reasonable

glass palm
#

playing with subterfuge

mossy hazel
#

Like Subterfuge talent so you can get an empowered Garrote, or the 100% crit chance from MAster assassin

undone lodge
#

@restive inlet havent done any raids with my guildies, because of works, some bosses will drop daggers right?

glass palm
#

ah ok im retarded

#

i thought subterfuge makes your garrote always 80% increased dmg and the only gain from stealth is no cd

#

fml

strange hatch
#

And 3cp!

restive inlet
#

The dagger from Mother is pretty much the best you can get in the raid. I think Mythrax drops one too, or maybe it's zul. can't remember atm, and I'm not online to check

ionic charm
#

@strange hatch that’s from ss not subterfuge tho

mossy hazel
#

yea was about to say that. The bonus CP is from the trait, talent is just empowered and no cd

undone lodge
#

@restive inlet ahhh great thanks for the info, maybe will try to LFR before doing Normal and HC,

restive inlet
#

gl man

#

RNGsus be with you!

undone lodge
#

thanks man šŸ»

glass palm
#

and i guess i dont refresh the vanish-empowered garrote, just let it go off entirely?

ionic charm
#

Yes

winter pulsar
#

i just got a piece of 385 helm with meticulous scheming on it. before i sim, its probably gonna be worse than a 345 shrouded for M+?

mossy hazel
#

Correct

strange hatch
#

@ionic charm nvm, yes

undone lodge
#

LOL...RNGsus has left me some years ago šŸ˜„

agile phoenix
#

is there no direct competetor for SS in mythics in order to do some aoe

glass palm
#

on m+ do I just spam garrote every target possible after engaging from stealth?

ionic charm
#

Ggg r g without ct, ggg ct g with

undone lodge
#

i ruined my muscle memory after SS got nerfed :((

agile phoenix
#

so guys still SS for mythic + is there no alternative

strange hatch
#

It simply feels odd without

ionic charm
#

Archive isn’t terrible. Blightborne is good, SoB can be good in certain keys. But SS is king

undone lodge
#

i forcedfully sacrificing my SS gears for ilvl, got 3 of them 😦

mossy hazel
#

I keep a 340 SS around just for M+

#

But I've got 3 archive right now for raid

strange hatch
#

Same on the 1xss

strange python
#

385 dd shoulders from cache 370 dd head from emmisarry šŸ’Æ

ionic charm
#

I wish DD simmed as high for me as it does on herodamage. Blightborne is better than it somehow

winter pulsar
#

id assume SoBs value goes up a decent amount on fortified weeks though

quick fog
#

Same @strange python The good life

fading harness
#

hi guys, anyone know the haste/crit cap

iron prism
#

there's no cap

#

there are some situations where stat values can change so you should always be simming

#

but generally haste > crit > others

eager cobalt
#

Are weapon drop rates like 1%?

iron prism
#

@strange python i wish i'd ever seen a piece with DD on it, lol

#

50%, but 0.001% if your name begins with Blood

eager cobalt
#

haHAa

iron prism
#

lol

#

sorry bud

#

there's a reason it's called Battle For A weapon

#

got my first cache with a weapon today for the xpac, vers/mast but a 380 weap is a 380 weap

eager cobalt
#

Man I wish that crafting professions could make other slots

#

2 slots for max level crafting, wow

iron prism
#

yeah the whole "you can make 1-2 slots" is just bad/lazy implementation by blizzard

#

it's not like having 10 different crafted items would be game breaking

#

they're just too lazy/cheap to implement it

eager cobalt
#

I mean all my characters are mining herbs now

iron prism
#

hell they dont even have ways to spend sanguicells for half the professions

eager cobalt
#

since I just have to level their professions per expansion now

iron prism
#

i'm pretty sure ffxiv.... aion... tera... most cell phone games... hello kitty adventure island... all have much better crafting systems than blizzard

#

which is sad because they kinda invented having decently rewarding and fun crafting systems

#

(for mmos)

eager cobalt
#

Yeah

#

I look more forward to playing Granblu Fantasy on my tablet than playing WoW atm

#

I just want 1 more item level on my rogue so I can be 370 and shelf it to play an alt

iron prism
#

yeah same, i log on for raiding and doing a m9/m10 and then am done for the week

lyric gust
#

!ss

iron prism
#

even that is only because my guild is here

lyric gust
#

is it fixed?

eager cobalt
#

I wish I could get into a m9/10

iron prism
#

if they were on ffxiv of path of exile or something i'd leave in a second

#

@lyric gust yes its fixed

eager cobalt
#

369 and I struggle to get into m8's

iron prism
#

just go with your guild or run your own keys

#

assassination can easily pull 15-22k or so in m10

eager cobalt
#

Most of my guild quit to play Maple Story until the next patch comes out

iron prism
#

it's pretty broken

eager cobalt
#

Oh I know

iron prism
#

@eager cobalt lol seems fair

eager cobalt
#

I don't think I've lost on ST in awhile

iron prism
#

that reminds me, add maple story to the list of games with better crafting systems

eager cobalt
#

My AoE could be better but I generally do 13-15k on trash

iron prism
#

no SS?

eager cobalt
#

None

iron prism
#

should be doing M+ with SS/subterfuge

eager cobalt
#

All my 370 has DD on it

iron prism
#

eh consider SS for m+, even 340 or probably 325

wheat zealot
#

340 ss>370 dd for m+

#

Not 325 fuck that

iron prism
#

haha

wheat zealot
#

But 340

iron prism
#

340 for sure, just saying maybe

#

i'm too lazy to sim that

eager cobalt
#

I just miss the extra CP from SS

#

That shit was so nice for openers

ember ermine
#

Ihave 360 340 370 for ss

wheat zealot
#

Before nerf mightve been worth

#

But now fuck that

#

I have 370 370 340

#

Just got the shoulders today

iron prism
#

i mean i got a 370 shoulders with laser matrix and 340 with SS... switching was like a 3-4% dps loss in 3 target 2 min fights

#

maybe more

#

*switching to the 370 was a loss

#

but yeah SS is still king... garrote garrote garrote garrote rupture fan rupture fan rupture fan rupture

#

vanish repeat

#

not hard at all to pull >25k

#

only bad if stuff doesn't live long enough for the garrote duration

#

amazing how much they nerfed it and while it may be bad in raid it's still OP in m+

#

kinda weird how from blizzard's perspective it's too strong and broken, but from the player perspective it's actually powerful enough to do what azerite was supposed to do in the first place, change rotation and playstyles

eager cobalt
#

Yeah maybe I will replace my piece with Scent of Blood for SS

iron prism
#

yeah scent is good too

quiet rover
#

got 380 lustrous plumage from cache but i already had 375 galecallers, worth having 2 on use trinkets?

eager cobalt
#

idk the rogue on my Freehold run last night had SSand he barely beat me on trash

iron prism
#

@quiet rover idk sim it 😃

#

trinkets kinda forsaken me, got darkmoon card and frenzied corpuscle

dusky canyon
#

!azerite traits

prisma monolithBOT
eager cobalt
#

390

#

literally impossible to replace for some reason

iron prism
#

i run freehold and tol dagor like 3x per week but i never see dice or gc

iron basalt
#

385 with SB? or 370 with SS? My other 2 pieces are archive

ancient mistBOT
eager cobalt
#

Yeah I am going to be stuck with that shitty trinket lol

iron prism
#

370 with SS for m+

#

385 with sb for raid

#

thanks

lone hamlet
#

Guys which traits are best on st ?

iron prism
#

double dose

#

sharpened blades

#

archive for raid

indigo nimbus
#

two SS traits, is picking Exsanguinate best even for ST?

ok more complete: double dose, champion of azeroth, dagger in the back, blightborne infusion, sharpened blades

fossil furnace
#

Do we still run Subterfuge if you don't have a SS trait? Finally got some azerite combos that I can run without one

storm zinc
#

Is SB properly simming on raidbots?

#

I don't see poisoned knife in the damage breakdowns

ionic charm
#

@fossil furnace likely MA will sim higher, but it will be close and down to your play preference

iron prism
#

@indigo nimbus exsanguinate is usually better for SS builds yes

fossil furnace
#

@ionic charm cool thanks, thats what I figured but I wanted to ask

iron prism
#

@fossil furnace yeah sub is generally SS related, MA is the new meta for non-SS

undone lodge
#

conclusion for overall gears (if there's any) 1 SS + 1 DD + 1 Archive?

iron prism
#

@undone lodge if you're talking about raiding it should be 2dd 1 archive

undone lodge
#

ahhhh okay

haughty lily
#

RIP i lost all my SS with my new azerite upgrade

undone lodge
#

2 DD + 1 Archive im repeating coz im a forgetful SOB

strange python
#

for me 2 DD 1 LM is simming higher

iron prism
#

@haughty lily using old pieces is probably still better for m+

#

@haughty lily be sure to sim it

undone lodge
#

and for M+ is 2 SS + 1 DD?

haughty lily
#

i simmed it but i only had 1 ss anyway

#

raidbots doesnt sim for M+ does it?

iron prism
#

@strange python laser and archive sim about the same these days

strange python
#

yeah thats true

undone lodge
#

i simed higher with no SS than with it...due to ilvl i guess

iron prism
#

@haughty lily you can make it sim for m+. I'll do 3 boss targets and 1-2 min

haughty lily
#

not that i sim very high tho

#

which is crazy cause my ilvl is so high and i have such good daggers

iron prism
#

just make sure to go into extra options and disable potions etc

winged forge
#

Does wound poison affect the corpuscle healing on mythic fetid? looking for insight

haughty lily
#

ofc

spice surge
#

@haughty lily try simming with PB instead of CT, but also your azerites is pretty bad except for the chest

civic phoenix
#

is there a specific number i should be shooting for on haste?

haughty lily
#

yeah i got hella unlucky with all my azerite gear

spice surge
#

Battlefield focus is also way better than poisoned wire on shoulders

civic phoenix
#

or should i just get as much as possible

spice surge
#

No specific number

iron prism
#

ugh battlefield focus and poisoned wire lol. both bad

#

you have some great ilvl etc tho sinestra

civic phoenix
#

In uldir, i can get up to 1900 haste and 1100 crit but like 400 mastery and 0 vers

haughty lily
#

i figured CT was best for M+ this week since it is bolstering tho

iron prism
#

@civic phoenix lol... that's like, the dream

odd wadi
#

Hi Guys ^^ sorry if this question has been asked many times! but for raiding i know Azerite traits should be DD*2 and one that unlocks the uldir buff .

But what is suggested traits to run m+'s

fossil furnace
#

@haughty lily its not bolstering this week

iron prism
#

@odd wadi ss x3

odd wadi
#

just to spreed the empowered garottes and ruptures right?

haughty lily
#

ooo your right yeah ill change to pb lol

odd wadi
#

as in use the 3 points to put a rupture*

iron prism
#

garrote x4, rupture, fan, rupture, fan, rupture, fan, rupture, vanish, repeat

undone lodge
odd wadi
#

sweet, thx lunitari

iron prism
fossil furnace
#

Stupid question but sims/bloodmallet etc are probably displaying Dagger in the Back assuming you are behind target right?

iron prism
#

@haughty lily 3 targets, 2 min, no potion, no lust/hero, no runes

opaque grotto
#

I don’t think you’re supposed to garrote 4 times

mossy hazel
#

Yea, I've seen others here say the sims for ditb aren't entirely accurate

iron prism
#

@opaque grotto that was fixed

opaque grotto
#

Probably triple garrote, rupture, then garrote again

#

I understand it was fixed

mossy hazel
#

You can garrote 4x now

iron prism
#

oh. yeah probably

#

my bad

undone lodge
#

@iron prism wow thats quite a jump 😮

opaque grotto
#

You’re wasting combo points if you rupture 4 times

#

Harrote*

iron prism
#

yeah you're right lol

opaque grotto
#

Garrote

haughty lily
#

yeah doesnt look like theres much i can change then.... lol

wheat zealot
#

So ct then g right after

#

Ez

haughty lily
#

i do high dps in aoe but in ST it feels like i can barely pull 12k which is annoying cause im a rogue

wheat zealot
#

Then get ruptures out

opaque grotto
#

Correct

gusty yoke
#

is darkmoon deck really just that op? i just got a 355 GLB with socket and 365GLB without socket and both are worse sadness

iron prism
#

@gusty yoke yep

civic phoenix
#

ya

hollow junco
#

@gusty yoke *yes, but it's more that a lot of other trinkets are just bad

opaque grotto
#

I think it loses value in aoe though doesn’t it?

wheat zealot
#

Galecallers def better for m+ but fathoms is amazing for ST

haughty lily
#

i still need a galecallers so bad 😦

#

good thing i got an 11 shrine this wekek

gusty yoke
#

currently using fathoms and doom's wake 375+socket

kind crater
#

I don't like galecaller's for M+, feels like you get forced out of the zone pretty often

wheat zealot
#

I never use fathoms for m+

kind crater
#

I guess it depends on the dungeon

wheat zealot
#

I use 360 gcb and 375 dice

opaque grotto
#

Just tank the dmg and blame your healer

iron prism
civic phoenix
#

I got 380 vers mastery boots :((

iron prism
#

@subtle kiln the real question is why werent you in the first place

#

@gusty yoke I take that back, not ALL 370 trinkets, but most

#

gc, dooms wake, spyglass, medallion, ww, plumage better @370

undone lodge
#

well gtg, great guides guys šŸŗ thanks a lot

iron prism
#

cheers @undone lodge

undone lodge
#

gnite everyoone

gusty yoke
#

so i guess target farming GLB was a waste PepeHands

iron prism
#

er

#

gcb?

prisma sail
#

does COS negate going through the wall on Mother??
or/and feint helps negate it as well, or not because it's not technically an aoe effect?

iron prism
#

i don't know what glb is. but gcb is still best trinket by ilvl

wheat zealot
#

Gcb with x3 ss is poggers for m+

iron prism
#

@prisma sail i have assumed feint worked and cloak doesn't but tbh i dont really know

#

they do work on defensive beams if you find yourself in bad

plain cairn
#

just got a 385 DD chest 😃

#

pretty happy

marsh bloom
#

ez

iron prism
#

@plain cairn gz

fossil furnace
#

Cloak definitely works on the defensive beams

mossy hazel
#

Cloak does NOT work on the burst from the wall

prisma sail
#

k, but it does work on the beams, good to know

mossy hazel
#

I'm actually not even sure Feint works on that burst

solar herald
#

Cloak dont make u spawn an add when u pas the wall. If they didnt hotfixed anything. So cloak still has it big +

young meteor
#

I love you be gcb for m+ running with a dk tank

#

I'm sure it'd be harder to use with a DH tank

balmy perch
#

Ya it doesnt seem like cloak or feint worked when i tried it a few weeks ago

hollow mica
#

Does it matter if I put Quick Navigation enchant on main-hand or off-hand?

#

and deadly navigation on main or off-hand?

visual token
#

Hand doesn’t matter

#

Just have both

balmy perch
#

Cheat death didnt even proc from the wall for me some of the time

hollow mica
#

I saw all top rogues have quick on main hand. THought it mattered

icy crater
#

I have a 365 dice w/ socket, 370 dice. 370 spyglass and fathoms/365 gales sims over it

wheat zealot
#

Doesnt matter at all

hollow mica
#

Thank you for clarification

balmy perch
#

My 360 gales i feel i woll be stuck with for a while

#

Shrine sucks to run on M+

icy crater
#

It’s not that bad

iron prism
#

@solar herald per wowhead "Players who use immunities such as Cloak of Shadows or Divine Shield whilst moving through the Defense Grid will still spawn a Remnant of Corruption add and will still deal damage to the raid."

visual token
#

Feelsbadman

novel rivet
#

So, I was lookingat bloodmallet and SS is now at the bottom of the barrel on there, is that correct, because I still see it discussed a lot

solar herald
#

So the Good Time is over :/

iron prism
#

@novel rivet it's due to the talent choice on blood mallet

icy crater
#

Make sure talents are correct.

vital haven
#

go to herodamage

iron prism
#

@novel rivet if you still use subterfuge it isnt

icy crater
#

And it’s still insane for m+

vital haven
#

its like bloodmallet but betyter imo

iron prism
#

bloodmallet is great if you follow a specific meta

#

herodamage is confusing but more flexible

novel rivet
#

😮 I did not know that, interesting thank you!

balmy perch
#

I habe started garrote vanish garroting large packs in higher m+ i am addicted to SS

#

Its nice to be doimg 35k+ dps

iron prism
#

yep that's the way

novel rivet
#

Apologies for mroe questions, so what talent should I be using with SS?

#

if not subterfuge

mossy hazel
#

Sub

vital haven
#

sub

balmy perch
#

Use subterfuge

novel rivet
#

ahh okay

balmy perch
#

Lol

visual token
#

Lol

vital haven
#

lOl

balmy perch
#

For raiding there isna argiment master assasin is better

#

If you dont use SS

iron prism
#

MA is the non-ss meta

#

SS is all about subterfuge

#

you could use sub/ss in some aoe fights like zul

#

i've gotten some orange parses doing that

vital haven
#

ehhh

mossy hazel
#

Oh god, you said ss on zul again...

vital haven
#

id rather go outlaw

mossy hazel
#

HERE WE GO

iron prism
#

lol

novel rivet
#

😮 this is so helpful , I was deflated when i got my new SS traits and saw the bloodmallet page, i about pooped

visual token
#

SS still stronk

vital haven
#

you gotta learn to interpret the sims sangaro

balmy perch
#

Wouldnt DD +MA be better for the birst zul strat? Heroic anywau

vital haven
#

basically the shorter the fight the higher the value for SS

iron prism
#

@mossy hazel "several people are typing" intensifies

strange python
mossy hazel
#

Lmao

strange python
#

šŸ‘Œ

vital haven
#

all the bloodmallet and herodamage sims just use certain settings

#

5 mins

#

etc

iron prism
#

@vital haven not necessarily, herodamage does some m+

#

there's an option

vital haven
#

no ye

#

but my point those setting for those options are predetermined

iron prism
#

or you can just sim on raidbots with 2/3/4 targets with 1/2 min fights and turn off potions and hero/lust

balmy perch
#

Inam going to be a sad panda of o get another shit item from my 10nchest this week. Last week it wasnt even a upgrade

vital haven
#

better to just use raiodbots

iron prism
#

yeah, there's always a slippery slope between convenience/simplicity and accuracy

#

well, maybe more like precision

mossy hazel
#

I havne't had an upgrade from my chest ever

iron prism
#

easy to be very precise but not accurate due to some factors

mossy hazel
#

So my expectations are low... hope is high, but expectations low

vital haven
#

just got a goraktul mantle from my chest

#

385

#

oh bby

rose wharf
#

@balmy perch you should always vanish if the second garrote is running through if you don't need the dmg in the next pull. I prefer to 3x garrotte instead of having it for the boss up (atleast in the opener)

iron prism
#

lol i got a 385 chest that had like... ruinous bolt and combined might or something

#

i was so sad

vital haven
#

this has blightborn infusion

#

not a double dose but still pretty good

iron prism
#

very good

#

imo blightborne > dd

#

performs almost the same in st but WAY better in aoe

#

DD is gonna be the best in st bosses by about 1%, but blightborne flexes is best on adds and flexes into m+

That bolt is so annoying

It made me so mad leveling with it

Free at last, free at last, free at last

like living in saudi arabia tyranny or like paying an extra 2c/gallon on gas "tyranny"?

hollow mica
#

Another stupid question. Is there a haste cap?

mossy hazel
#

No

hollow mica
#

Thank you

iron prism
#

@hollow mica lol 3rd (4th?) time i've seen this question today since i sat down for coffee and logged into discord

#

i havent even gotten a 2nd coffee

hollow mica
#

Woops! Sorry boys

iron prism
#

lol it happens, just one of those q's

mossy hazel
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
mossy hazel
#

It's in there

hollow mica
#

I just can't understand how a 357 rogue is simming more than me and he doesn't have Uldir azerite pieces

mossy hazel
#

What's your sim look like? Trinkets? Traits? Talents?

iron prism
#

yeah trinkets, stat weights, weapons, sockets...

#

azerite traits (only 1 gets reorigination bonus)

#

if you want post your sim

summer marten
#

you also dont have uldir traits

hollow mica
#

And I have no better trinkets too

iron prism
#

darkmoon card would be better

#

scent of blood sims bad in ST

hollow mica
#

I have a 355 dd

iron prism
#

secondaries look ok

hollow mica
#

that will make is 3x dd

iron prism
#

that should help

#

you still will want 1 reorigination array trait regardless of dd

#

i'm assuming you're evaluating for raid and not m+

hollow mica
#

Ye mostly for raid

#

I can try simming with 355 piece

iron prism
#

replace that overcharger with darkmoon deck, it's about a 1-1.5% dps increase

#

overcharger is the right stats it's just built wrong and sucks

hollow mica
#

So I've been told

#

Gotta get some gold for it

iron prism
#

not your fault blizzard forgot how to design items

#

well, i guess that implies they ever knew how to design trinkets properly

mossy hazel
#

I did the same thing, i saw overcharger and naturally thought it would be good, finally got it, ran sim, it was garbage. Lol

iron prism
#

you could also go farm galecallers

mossy hazel
#

Mine's a 385 and sims lower than Darkmoon

hollow mica
#

Shouldn't u get haste from overcharger?

iron prism
#

@hollow mica you do it just is not designed properly

#

it should give like 2x-3x what it does

hollow mica
#

Oh ok

iron prism
#

but yes it's a good question of why is an item that boosts haste just about the worst trinket in the game for a spec that loves haste

#

i assume ion would tell you that you think you want a trinket to give you more haste, but you dont

mossy hazel
#

Lmfao

hollow mica
#

Perfect emoji šŸ˜„

iron prism
#

lol

#

i didnt know about those

mossy hazel
#

Lol, there's a bunch of Ion emotes

high siren
iron prism
#

oh

#

@hollow mica you're using subterfuge but you dont have shrouded suffocation. go master assassin

fleet whale
#

So the new FoK trait that is coming in 8.1, the tooltip confuses me

mossy hazel
#

I don't think I've seen the new FoK trait, link/cap?

hollow mica
#

Damn MA better without SS huh

fleet whale
#

I will go on wowhead to link it

mossy hazel
#

I said that too, Healz. Lol

hollow mica
#

fk me

iron prism
#

@hollow mica yeah, but likewise if you're not going subterfuge and multiple SS for m+ you're playing the class wrong lol

fleet whale
#

that is the new trait

iron prism
#

i'm curious about that one. i like seed of corruption living bomb fan of knives

#

it sounds fun on aoe, but knowing blizzard they'll probably nerf it too much

hollow mica
#

@iron prism So, people keep SS pieces in their bags and DD pieces for raids?

mossy hazel
#

Yea that's weird

#

I do, @hollow mica

fleet whale
#

i mean it sounds cool, but what does it mean by "first 5 critical strikes?"

iron prism
#

@hollow mica yeah didnt you know we're all streamlined now so we dont have to keep legendaries in our bags

fleet whale
#

i guess it resets?

iron prism
#

@hollow mica now we just keep multiple sets of azerite gear for each spec

hollow mica
#

lol

mossy hazel
#

I replace a 370 archive with 340 ss for M+

hollow mica
#

Education right here bois

supple compass
#

Anybody by chance have experience with 3x double dose? How does it feel?

inner pulsar
#

Like the normal rotation?

iron prism
#

@hollow mica but sarcasm aside, yes, pretty much a must to have a SS set for m+... SS is worth like 30 ilvls in m+

#

maybe more

fleet whale
#

double dose really doesn't change much rotation wise. Well, i guess you have to pay attention to envenom more

iron prism
#

but SS is garbage with MA

hollow mica
#

@mossy hazel I don't have Archive. The 370 has scent of blood sadly

iron prism
#

and MA > subterfuge in ST/raids

#

doesnt mean you cant use them if you play well though, i still use subterfuge/SS in uldir because i can't find any decent non-SS traits. still usually parse purp/orange

inner pulsar
#

SoB isn't terrible for M+

iron prism
#

scent's pretty good for m+ ya

fleet whale
#

as long as you keep going in the run archive isn't too bad either

nocturne mulch
#

Am I missing something, can we pick up any double dose gear from raid?

iron prism
inner pulsar
#

No DD gear in Uldir

fleet whale
#

no, there is no dd trait in uldir

strange hatch
#

Yay, +14 intime feels awesome xD

spiral snow
#

MfD what xddddddddd

iron prism
#

@strange hatch nice

#

MfD is really good in m+ if you play it perfectly, it's just generally too annoying to do so

#

also depends on what mods you have for the week

#

mfd sims better than it works in practice though imo, or maybe i'm just bad

stone quartz

prisma monolithBOT
fringe wyvern
#

For raiding should I take SS (x2) & laser matrix, or 1 Archive, 1 SS, and 1 Double Dose? Im getting conflicting results from the simcraft dekstop app and raidbots. Simcraft tells me the 2 SS is better, and raidbots tells me the SS & DD is better

#

both are simming patchwerk for around 5 mins

inner pulsar
#

I would say the raidbots sim is more accurate, you probably have an option checked incorrectly in Simcraft

hollow mica
#

500 more dps

inner pulsar
#

Uldir trait would do more than anything else in your case @hollow mica

hollow mica
#

Yeah I'm running heroic in the afternoon. Hopefully I get something good

lilac lily

yeah, you need at least 1 Archive or LM for raid

hollow mica

@inner pulsar is it possible that simcraft wasn't updated after the SS nerf? Im pretty sure I don't have any setup wrong

hollow mica
#

Time to farm uldir welp

inner pulsar
#

no, that is not possible

#

it is possible your version is old

amber canopy
#

Would a 370 Harlans dice beat the darkmoon trink on a pure single target fight?

inner pulsar
#

There is almost no reason to use the desktop version at this point

lone junco
#

probably not. gotta simmit

amber canopy
#

I know hero damage says dice is better but like everyone is using deck lol

mossy hazel
#

Did you update your SimC app? It doesn't auto update

wary temple
#

hey @lone junco is it still viable to use double garrote outside of shrouded suffocation?

hollow mica
#

ty for help guys

spiral snow
#

@amber canopy I have a 365 with a socket. It beats it in a sim.

fringe wyvern
#

I just like the desktop app becuase I dont have to wait in que and it's faster lol. Thanks tho I appreciate it, i probably didn't update it.

lone junco
#

@wary temple like exang with subterfuge but no ss?

wary temple
#

no with TB

lone junco
#

or just subterfuge TB no ss.

#

like GG M R

wary temple
#

yeah

lone junco
#

to push the 23sec over 18sec

wary temple
#

Yeah, we still do that?

lone junco
#

I didnt ever do that.

#

because I used MA with TB

#

but if you ran subterfuge with TB and no SS, I would expect it to be worth doing. idk.

wary temple
#

I was using MA prior to today, but new upgrades tells me use to use Subt again

lone junco
#

strong answer is to run a sim and read the apl.

inner pulsar
#

That is...unlikely

lone junco
#

but the apl could be right/wrong there.

#

we ran Subterfuge bracer boot in legion. and there was no double garrote open

#

dunno if anyone tried it though

#

afk work gl.

rancid seal
#

Is SS better than Archive in M+? Idk how to sim without arrays so is there a rough answer?

mossy hazel
#

It is GENERALLY better in M+

muted jacinth
#

ss generally better. you can sim without archive by turning off smart mode for reoriginonation array to 0

mossy hazel
#

Sims could prove that wrong in certain situations I guess, but none that I'v eheard of yet

rancid seal
#

aight cheers

lone junco
#

@rancid seal in the extra options you can turn array stacks to 0

novel rivet
#

so in M+ hero damage is taking marked for death, is it better than vigor in short encounters?

lone junco
#

1 archive is on par with some non ss traits.

#

so if the ilvl is >> your ss, it might be worth using.

rancid seal
#

same ilvl and only 1 trait

novel rivet
#

or do you not need vigor in high M+ because you have bleads on everything

iron prism
#

@novel rivet it's one of those traits that sims better if used perfectly but realistically vigor is probably gonna perform better. it also depends on the context. in m0 (i.e. stuff exploding instantly) mfd has a higher reset uptime, but in m10 it wont

novel rivet
#

bleeds*

#

okay, that makes sense, I appreciate it

iron prism
#

i'll concede that i dont really know for sure but whatshisface @hushed rose was advocating vigor or deeper for m_

#

i am willing to bet the mfd sim is just due to the perfection of the sim and frequency of deaths

strange python
#

Yeah I have 385 Gore-Splattered Vest too

#

oh I also have 385 shoulders with Meticulous Planning

wheat zealot
#

Last week was good for me though got 385 blightborne shoulders

strange python
#

Is Fan of Blades good for M+ you reckon

#

We do pretty aggressive pull a lot of the time

wheat zealot
#

Fob is meh imo

#

Was decent for pvp pre nerf but thats about it

strange python
#

Man

#

I sim so low for being pretty geared now

wheat zealot
#

What do you sim for, im at just over 17k at 376

iron prism
#

the problem with fan is that most of our m+/aoe damage comes from empowered garrote and rupture

daring imp
#

fok doesn't even come near 10% of our overall dmg

iron prism
#

i sim @ 15.1k ST @ 369, but that's with bad azerite traits for st. no DD, no archive, etc

wheat zealot
#

Yeah i have x1 LM, x1 BB x1 unstable catalyst

strange hatch
#

14.9k at 371 but with multi target gear

daring imp
#

over the course of ~30 m+ where i forgot to turn off live log ... fok was 6%

wheat zealot
#

Garrote is usually 35 percentish

strange python
#

I'll sim myself again

#

tbh the 40% nerf was pretty warranted looking back at it now

daring imp
#

with 1x ss my garrote is usually 25% to 30

#

on m+

strange python
#

How much haste do you guys have

wheat zealot
#

16% in my m+ gear

compact bolt
#

23 in raid, about 17 in m+

strange hatch
#

17 in m+

strange python
#

Geez

wheat zealot
#

I go more for crit for m+

strange python
#

I have 24% in raid gear

strange hatch
#

22c/17h/34m/2v

iron prism
#

let me run some quick sims on stat weights

daring imp
#

20.xx in raid, about 6% on m+ gear

tough whale
#

24c/23h/25m/2v for raid, my m+ set is garbage so let's not look at that

strange python
#

I sim 16.2K at 373

iron prism
#

15.4k at 369 here

strange python
#

man

#

Crit sims higher than haste for me

tough whale
#

17.3 at 377

strange python
#

Haste is 1.99

#

Crit at 2.1

#

Agil at 2.05

tough whale
#

Yeah crit has a very brief breakpoint, i had to throw one crit gem on and then it went back down to like 1.8

mossy hazel
#

Yea I'm about 15.4 at 370

tough whale
#

Bets on what it has?

mossy hazel
#

Garbage?

tough whale
#

im ready for it tbh

mossy hazel
#

But honestly, 17? God damn

tough whale
#

my 3rd pair of shit gloves :^)

#

Yeah we smashed two 17s last night pretty ez

strange hatch
#

Until that pic I felt good with my 14 😐

mossy hazel
#

Crazy, my server hadn't even hit the first 15 yet

#

Couple guys in my guild pushing hard for that realm first

tough whale
#

Don't, we did like 5 tol dagors last night. Missed a 18 because krogus overlapped his abilities and we had a bomb upstairs detonate on us during trash

#

bombs on 3rd boss / hallways can randomly explode and kill people below it : )))

strange hatch
#

What group comp do you run?

strange python
#

moved some pieces around

tough whale
#

Prot pal / warlock / mage / rogue / rdruid is what our tol was

#

our seige was prot pal warlock dh rogue rduid

strange python
#

Now I'm 23 crit/21 haste/25 mast/1 vers for m+

#

will look at moving some other pieces around

plain cairn
#

!snek

#

oups

tough whale
plain cairn
#

xd

strange python
#

ok

wary escarp
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.

inner pulsar
#

That command just just return "Sim Yoself"

strange python
#

25 crit/18 hate/26 mastery/1 vers

#

for m+

strange hatch
#

Getting there

strange python
#

3xSS

strange hatch
#

Give it a shot

strange python
#

Yeah I will

#

Might feel better

#

Doesn't this devalue Exsang a bit though?

iron prism
#

hmm so

#

raid/st weights: Haste 2.07 > Agility 1.92 > Versatility 1.79 > Mastery 1.75 = Critical Strike 1.75
m+ weights (3 targets, 2 min, no lust, no pots): Haste 3.44 > Agility 3.12 > Mastery 3.08 > Critical Strike 2.80 > Versatility 2.71

#

at least that's what i sim

strange python
#

so m+ is patchwerk with 3 bosses no lust no pots?

#

That's how you sim it?

iron prism
#

m+ i did 3 bosses, light movement, no lust no pots

#

also 2 minutes

strange hatch
#

For this week I went Patchx6 / 40-60s

iron prism
#

not saying that's necessarily correct but it felt relevant for my playstyle

tough whale
#

It also depends to how your group pulls yknow

iron prism
#

ofc

strange python
#

Yeah

iron prism
#

depends on if you're doing m15 or m2 etc so i don't know that there's a right answer

strange python
#

lol

#

Simming for m2

#

šŸ¤”

iron prism
#

but its more precise for me than assuming hero damage m+ is right

tough whale
#

There's not really, cause dungeons also are pulled hella differently

strange python
#

Yeah

tough whale
#

Like our tol dagor starts with like a 50 mob pull

strange python
#

Waycrest courtyard :^)

sick monolith
#

o shit bros got 385 SS chest from chest

strange python
#

Haha welcome to the club

iron prism
#

gore splattered? gz

sick monolith
#

yeh

iron prism
#

bis m+

strange python
#

It's good for raids too man

#

at least 1 SS or I get sad

iron prism
#

interesting that haste still weighs very high for me on aoe/m+ though

tough whale
#

Thankfully i got the fetid chest so im not hella upset

strange python
#

Yeah I used your sim Luni

#

Haste 3.34
Mastery 3.27
Agility 3.11
Crit 3.04
Vers 2.68

iron prism
#

@tough whale i have lots of SS but no decent traits for raiding. just a laser matrix head and SS really

strange python
#

Same Luni

tough whale
#

for raid i run 385 dd / 385 archive / 385 ss

strange python
#

370 Laser head, 340 SS shoulders and 385 SS chest is what I run atm

iron prism
#

i dont think i've seen a DD above 325

strange python
#

Been unlucky in mythic with Azerite drops

tough whale
#

cache gave me the dd helm

#

week 2

strange python
#

Damnnn

iron prism
#

yeah i run 10s every week but... always gloves lol

inner pulsar
#

I wonder just how much the sim overvalues DitB

iron prism
#

cant complain after 385 ss chest and 380 weap this week though

tough whale
#

I need another dagger from mother this week ><M

strange python
#

You have a 385 MH?

tough whale
#

w/ socket

iron prism
#

nice

strange python
#

geez

#

tbh I'm not too bothered about a 385 OH

#

I have a 385 MH

iron prism
#

guild hasnt gotten mother past 20%, hopefully will down tonight and get a dagger

tough whale
#

Its one of my lower ilev peices so gotta get it

ionic charm
#

@iron prism doing all at once strat?

iron prism
#

@ionic charm no, people are afraid of it

#

on our 20% kill we had like 4 dead before we left the first room

#

hit hard enrage at 20%

ionic charm
#

Jesus, it’s so much harder doing it that way

tough whale
#

We just rush g1 and 2 over real fast then slow it down a little

#

group on edge after winds/flame, drop darkness/slt, rush 4, everyone healthstones, rush 4

inner pulsar
#

Gotta yell YOLO real loud when you do it

#

Thats the key

ionic charm
#

The key is having your FDK die so everyone else can parse

tough whale
#

we had a heroic where i was one of like 4 dps alive for 60%->kill, was a great feeling

true rapids
#

my fathoms is beating out any combo of 380 (spyglass/galecallers/385 lustrous plumage)

strange python
#

Yeah

#

Fathoms is just plain broken

#

Getting a trinket is all about filling the other spot

#

2nd trinket slot is basically dead

desert vault
#

blight is good in m+ right? Like 1x SS and 1x Blight should be fine rather than 2x SS?

strange hatch
#

On same ilvl?

desert vault
#

yeah

#

all my azerite is 370 now, finally

tough whale
#

pog!

desert vault
#

i'd have to reforge every time to go from Blight to 2x SS and I'm lazy on top of it

#

doubt its a huge different cause Blight seems pretty strong

jade grotto
#

390 My'das talisman from chest, end me...

desert vault
#

differnce

tough whale
#

I usually end up running 3x ss on fort and slimming down on SS for tyr

strange hatch
#

My blight is 385 over 340 SS .. it’s working

desert vault
#

true it is fort

tough whale
#

Yeah at that point is a major difference

desert vault
#

so maybe the extra SS would be nice and Blight for tyr

tough whale
#

ill run 385 dd over 345 ss for tyr weeks but i need that juicy aoe

strange hatch
#

Still retain a 340 SS :/

ripe geyser
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
tough whale
#

dropped 2 ilevels for a socketed ring feelsbadman

ripe geyser
#

fuck me

royal lantern
#

but why, now you can do more dps and tell people with a higher ilvl that they suck

ripe geyser
#

saved my interface and WTF files

#

yet all my addons are reseted

tough whale
#

Cause i want a juicy ilevel AND more dps 😔

desert vault
#

hmm maybe I'll run some 3x SS, never been able to do that but I've 3x now

#

that would be fun

tough whale
#

Its a good week for 3x ss

desert vault
#

I still have not one socketed piece of gear

tough whale
#

im at 5

strange hatch
#

Got 7

tough whale
#

Waiting for sockets on azerite ytho

desert vault
#

jeez

#

I just want ONE 😃

strange hatch
#

Just a matter of wanting it enough!

desert vault
#

I can't bitch really after the GCB I got today ... 395
