quick fog
#

With SS/Subf you should go Gar rup Gar Exs

pearl meteor
#

Dont refresh a exsang’d dot

#

Let it drop

quick fog
#

^

#

Oh

#

I misread what you asked

#

My apologies

desert vault
#

oh ok, let it drop

shy axle
#

Are you guys spamming CT in myth+ or just maintaining while doing evenom ? Read it quite often here, everyone says it different. Incy veines guide just says skip eve usage if you have CT chosen

#

wording is quite poor tbh

wispy quest
#

@vocal harbor
apm and variance are unrelated.
less variance means only that the distribution of dps is more ofter near the mean value (the one you see on simc).
distribution because the rng give you every time different outcomes so all them span over a numerical interval.

i hope my english is enough understandable D:

opaque grotto
#

I’ve been playing with 1x poison wire with TB/MA, it actually doesn’t seem bad. It lets you get the Env > Mut > Env inside vanish every time

desert vault
#

and generally speaking SS/Exsang is going to be a lot more bursty in terms of damage overtime than pretty much any TB build would be?

opaque grotto
#

Yea SS/Exsang has fat openers but TB builds are more consistent dps

pearl meteor
#

@shy axle 6+ targets spam ct over env

opaque grotto
#

Exsang is great for priority dmg though

vocal harbor
#

ohhh well that makes sense @wispy quest because outlaw can roll multiple 5 buffs in one fight, and pull much higher than the mean simc dps

pearl meteor
#

5 is situational

vocal harbor
#

that also explains why enchance is up there, because of it's procs

crisp steppe
#

@opaque grotto yeah agree on poison wire. whenever possible I aim to refresh garrote so I have mutilate critchance going into toxic blade, especially with vanish for double env like u say

shy axle
#

@pearl meteor thx

ruby pelican
#

So, anyone using blightborne infusion? I got one at 385 and I’m not sure if it’s better than 340 SS in mythic+? Other 2 traits are SS

pearl meteor
#

I swear this gets asked every 12 hours

ruby pelican
#

Proc rate seems to be around 20%

desert vault
#

so weird this one log i'm looking at on Taloc a guy is constantly casting Rup > Vend instead of other way around, top 100 parse

opaque grotto
#

Why would you cast rupture after vendetta

desert vault
#

I dunno? Isn't that the opener? Vend > Mut > Rup?

opaque grotto
#

For which build?

wispy quest
#

it isnt only the roll.
even few layers of rng could mean high variance for example.
for example legion sub was more or less higher variance than assa because a lot of the damage was in the sd evis, so lucky crit rolls in these windows had a lot meaning.
meanwhile assa having a fuckton of rng like poison bomb, env crits, rupture buff and so on was more "stable" around his median value because each random "balance" eachother

desert vault
#

SS+Exsang

crisp steppe
#

no

pearl meteor
#

Yikes

wheat zealot
#

Grgmrvexsan

opaque grotto
#

Yeah the accepted opener is G R G V M R Exsang

#

But I don’t think the vendetta placement makes much of a difference

pearl meteor
#

Rupture after does

vocal harbor
#

i see. thank you so much @wispy quest that clears things up nicely

pearl meteor
#

For exsang

desert vault
#

I was just looking through logs and this one I found with 2x SS, same traits, trinkets, ilvl, etc was doing Rupture before Vend in opener and afterwards and aswell

opaque grotto
#

Yes you want to press rupture right before exsang probably but I’m sure the difference is minimal

inner pulsar
#

You should make that your toon name @wheat zealot

daring imp
#

@wispy quest 12m death from above feelings

inner pulsar
#

Grgmrvexsan

wispy quest
#

only played sub for the dagger appaerance D:

#

and pre 7.2

daring imp
#

damn, that was a fun time on kj

wispy quest
#

nah, 7.2 assa best iteration evah

wheat zealot
#

A1 name

wispy quest
#

i miss so much CD juggling T_T

daring imp
#

@ruby pelican i am using 355/345 SS & 385 blightborne, its uptime is great, over the entire dungeon, like 25~30% ( which is a bit more because this details! timer doesn't take into account downtime afaik )

wispy quest
#

blizz give me back CD juggling T_T

clever jackal
#

anyone in here good at going over logs and can possible help me?

pearl meteor
#

Nop every1 sucks

#

😃

clever jackal
#

I seem to be getting alot less mutilates then other rogues I compare myself to. and idk if it's a me sucking thing or a haste thing

pearl meteor
#

Whats your haste

daring imp
#

is your rupture/garrote uptime high enough?

#

like 98%+?

clever jackal
#

started out in raid last night as 960 but ended at like 1100

daring imp
#

what

pearl meteor
#

Ye that’s fine

clever jackal
#

the people I'm comparing myself to all seem to have over 1500. is there a soft haste cap around that range?

wheat zealot
#

@daring imp ive been using 385 bb in m+ too and it feels amazing. Having >50% crit for 25% of the dungeon is pretty solid

pearl meteor
#

Its his haste rating

daring imp
#

oh

pearl meteor
#

Shld b higher

#

In raid

#

W/ array

#

Do u have a raid trait

clever jackal
#

dont have that yet. I'm unlucky when it comes to raid gear lol

pearl meteor
#

Welp theres ur issue for haste

clever jackal
#

lol

pearl meteor
#

The rest is just dot uptime

daring imp
#

if you think reorigination array isn't going to make that much of a difference, remember that 7 stacks gives you 525 of highest secondary ...

crisp steppe
#

they have like 525 more haste by noiw

#

like 8% more haste

clever jackal
#

so that 500 haste I'm missing is just that stupid trait I dont have yet

daring imp
#

for raiding, ye

pearl meteor
#

Assuming you have 7 stacks ye

crisp steppe
#

laser matrix/archive of the titans enables reorigination array inside uldir. thats the onew

#

you only need 1 of them to get the full effect from the reorigination array

pearl meteor
#

🤔

wheat zealot
#

If you have 21 boss kills you have 7 stacks

#

@clever jackal

crisp steppe
#

is there catch up for that indicaz?

clever jackal
#

so I got a piece with laser matrix last night and I plan to put that on.

strange python
#

no

wheat zealot
#

Its 3 per week

crisp steppe
#

yeah thats what I thought

clever jackal
#

I've been clearing the raid since it came out. so I should have max stacks

crisp steppe
#

yeah u should

#

how come nobody trading u azerite tho

daring imp
#

afaik you get 1 stack every week that you kill ATLEAST 3 bosses of uldir ( doesn't matter difficulty, can even be lfr )

wheat zealot
#

Idk how you have no 370+ uldir pieces

clever jackal
#

we roll BiS before main spec upgrade

pearl meteor
#

🤔

daring imp
#

what

clever jackal
#

and I was dumb and didnt have them

pearl meteor
#

If u dont have a raid trait

#

Its BiS

#

Wym

clever jackal
#

right. I'm dumb lol

#

just thought about that last night. cus the raid pieces arent super great. just need 1 to start with

crisp steppe
#

next raid u gonna veto that shit

#

unanimous decision between me myself and I that you give the item to me m8

daring imp
#

then the only uldir trait that drops is for the piece you already have a 385 ...

high nova
#

guys does Garrote snapshot dmg etc? So let's say I dont have elaborate planning buff up when I garrote, is my garrote screwed then for it's entire duration?

pearl meteor
#

No

daring imp
#

no damage snapshot

#

only haste snapshot when you pop exsang

clever jackal
#

thanks for the help guys. I hope the reorigination array helps me get more mutilates off

peak musk
#

hmm wait with exsang till galecaller is up? 🤔

pearl meteor
#

No

daring imp
#

you hold gcb for vanish/vend/exs combo tho

#

@clever jackal did you check the overall energy generation of the other guys?

clever jackal
#

idk how to check passive haste gains

desert vault
#

oh another 370 azerite piece for alliance today, come on DD!

edgy ginkgo
#

got tidal surge and gutripper from that 😄

daring imp
#

not sure if wowanalyzer is still working or not for ass rouges

clever jackal
#

when I go to resources then energy. "venomous vim" is the only thing that comes up

daring imp
#

which boss is this again

desert vault
#

This whole SS/Exsang is going to take some getting used to! I don't like the huge DPS drops, makes me feel sad

clever jackal
#

I was looking at vectis. because for some reason I am always low on that fight

pearl meteor
#

Its not huge dps drops

peak musk
#

don’t get it why galecaller is so good with exsang, it only lines up at the pull

daring imp
#

do you use fok on vectis?

pearl meteor
#

More of a constant thing throughout fight

#

Wut

daring imp
#

@peak musk you make it line up on all the vend/vanish/exs

desert vault
#

If you remember to use GCB on its second CD it will line back up

#

I sometimes tend to forget 😃

clever jackal
#

that's my vectis fight from last night

daring imp
#

ok ...

clever jackal
#

we did get a second pool phase. so I know that hurts dps. but I was comparing to other rogues who also got the second phase. and also used TB build

pearl meteor
#

Ur using tb?

daring imp
#

pretty similar kill time

pearl meteor
#

R u getting 2 env in each tb

daring imp
#

also similar garrote/rupture

pearl meteor
#

(Cant look @ log in in bed) lol

clever jackal
#

yes

#

I "save" TB for a couple seconds

#

pool up my energy. and try to cast tb at 2 or 3 combo points

#

so I have almost max energy and the. tb env mut mut env

pearl meteor
#

Ur env dmg shld b higher imo thats why i ask but idk cant rly look atm

daring imp
#

the only thing i can tell you is that i have absurd amounts of haste and 3x overwhelming power

clever jackal
#

well.. my crit for that is like 10% less then it normally is

daring imp
#

i did 21 more mutilates on you on the same fight that lasted only 17s longer

#

and we had basically the same dot uptime

clever jackal
#

right. alot of the people I was comparing to has 20 more mutilates

#

so I wasnt sure if I was doing something wrong. or if it's a haste/gear thing

#

but with reorigination array. I hope I see that number increase next week

pearl meteor
#

Go look @ raw energy gained @daring imp between two logs

daring imp
#

yours Venomous Vim 2467 43 2424

#

mine

Venomous Vim 3470 107 3363
Restore Energy 100 0 100

clever jackal
#

how can you look at raw energy gain?

spice surge
#

Not dotting add? 🤔

pearl meteor
#

^

clever jackal
#

is that the venomous vim?

daring imp
#

analyze / tables / resources

#

select energy

pearl meteor
#

Yes

clever jackal
#

ok

daring imp
#

did you bother gar/rup the add right when it spawns?

clever jackal
#

only 1000 more energy...... chump change

daring imp
#

if it's already midway dead no point to do any of those

pearl meteor
#

He did more add dmg actually

#

Lmao

daring imp
#

not with gar/rup

pearl meteor
#

Ah

clever jackal
#

I think so?

daring imp
#

i don't think you did @_@"

clever jackal
#

honestly not 100% sure. but it's pretty standard to tab and add dots

#

hmm

#

balls

pearl meteor
#

Whats your stat weights atm

#

Without raid trait

daring imp
#

you had 18 garrote ticks and 24 rupture ticks on adds

tall spruce
#

I have a 355 az chest with SS and a 385 with scent of blood. no other SS. Which is better?

daring imp
#

i had 50 and 48

pearl meteor
#

Cuz ong has 850 more haste than u

#

Lmao

clever jackal
#

haste does effect the dots right?

daring imp
#

yep

clever jackal
#

so with my 50% extra haste. that would be closer to 27 and 32

#

but you still had 50 and 48

pearl meteor
#

Comparing also depends on how fast ur grp blows up add

#

Btw

daring imp
#

i literally dotted everyone one of them

pearl meteor
#

Ik

#

But if ur add was up for 10s and his was for 4

#

Thats a huge diff

daring imp
#

with both bleeds as soon as they spawned ( sometimes delayed garrote a bit cuz of cd )

#

ye that too

clever jackal
#

is there a way to check that add up time?

spice surge
#

@pearl meteor Ek did more damage too adds than ong, he just envenomed instead of bleeds

pearl meteor
#

Im aware

#

N ye u can check

clever jackal
#

maybe it's not worth it to dot adds at all if they die too quick?

pearl meteor
#

Look @ dmg done to specific adds so 1st n u will see window

desert vault
#

Secrets of the Deep ...what is that traysh!

pearl meteor
#

In heroic i just garrote rupt right away

#

W.e cp it is

daring imp
#

i'd do ATLEAST rupture on adds as soon as they spawn, if they die too quick i'm not sure garrote would be worth it since it doesn't return energy when add dies

opaque grotto
#

Yea you know when the add is gonna spawn so you can save CP for it and just rupture/garrote it

desert vault
#

Sad, no DD in the azerite today 😐

pearl meteor
#

Point is to not save cp

#

If its gonna die in less than 8s

opaque grotto
#

Idk how long it lives, my guild is doing mythic so it’s up for a bit longer

spice surge
#

It doesnt matter much as you get much of that energy back anyway, but yes you dont need 5 cp

pearl meteor
#

Its a dmg loss

opaque grotto
#

That add gets evaporated on heroic in my guild

pearl meteor
#

🤷‍♀️

#

Yea exactly

#

xD

opaque grotto
#

I just tunnel the boss tbh

#

Fuck a mechanic

pearl meteor
#

I wld if it was a guild run lmao

opaque grotto
#

I don’t pug really

pearl meteor
#

My guild stopped doing heroic awhile ago

opaque grotto
#

Same

pearl meteor
#

Other than sale run

#

🤷‍♀️

opaque grotto
#

We do it on a non-raid night for TF’s

#

And it’s optional

pearl meteor
#

Ah

clever jackal
#

our adds were dying in like 6 seconds

pearl meteor
#

Mhm

opaque grotto
#

Yea we have demon hunters and warrior out the ass

#

So it just gets deleted on heroic

clever jackal
#

nvm. closer to 10 for average

daring imp
#

a big part of all that extra energy i got back was from rupture when add died

#

which translated in more mutilates

opaque grotto
#

Yea you get like a full bar of energy if you have any significant time left on the rupture

clever jackal
#

when an add dies that fast. would a 2 CP rupture be better then a full 5cp?

opaque grotto
#

Prob

strange python
#

blizz fixing engine and allowing multi threading in 8.1

clever jackal
#

that way you dont waste 3 cp on because of how fast it dies

opaque grotto
#

Just like put whatever you have CP wise on the add

pearl meteor
#

Supposedly but they gonna fk it up lmao @strange python

opaque grotto
#

It’s not really a huge waste because you get a lot of energy back if it dies with rupture still going

strange python
#

Just support at least 2 cores rofl

clever jackal
#

well if I'm max. I was thinking envenoming vectis. then switching. mutilate and rupture the add

pearl meteor
#

Yeaaa

daring imp
#

i only saw two like those on yours

#

and i'm still pretty sure one is from vendetta

clever jackal
#

that's the energy gained when an add dies?

pearl meteor
#

Yes

mossy hazel
#

It gives you the energy you would have got if the remaining duration of rupture had been allowed to tick

daring imp
#

ignore the one i circled at 4:00 mark that was add dying when intermission ended ( ye an idiot died on the pool and it spawned lul )

clever jackal
#

hmm ok. I actually didnt know about the energy gained from something dying with rupture on it. still pretty new to rogue. just swapped when the expansion released

wheat vigil
#

Seems like no matter what setup I use my sub set sims about 800dps higher than sin. My traits aren’t that bad, kinda confused. ~16.5k sub vs -15.7 sin

sturdy python
#

Could be traits, stats

#

Talents

clever jackal
#

sub seems way harder to use though. with all the mechanics you have to deal with

sturdy python
#

My outlaw out sims sin in St because of my stat distro

clever jackal
#

I always simmed higher on my sub then sin. but I actually do more on sin

sturdy python
#

It's not that hard once you figure out dance

#

Unless you have a bad comp

#

Missing one shadow strike is bad

clever jackal
#

it was more of using shadow dance. then getting a mechanic and having to run. I should have waiting to use shadow dance in the first place

slender sandal
#

Its not hard , but its very punishimg

wheat vigil
#

Yeah but it’s not like Legion where if you mess up the dfa landing you’re stuck auto attacking for 9” seconds

#

90

#

With enveloping it’s pretty smooth now

slender sandal
#

True

median mason
#

Though es Sims lower than ds after a certain point

#

Thought*

wheat vigil
#

It does on add fights

slender sandal
#

Still feels so sad when u ruin ur dance enveloping or not

shy escarp
#

but it felt so good to get a good one. back when I had triple sharpened blades and I crit Fetid Devourer for like 150k in a dance window. so fun

clever jackal
#

thanks for all the help guys

shy escarp
#

then blizzard nerfed sharpened blades, RIP SB 2018-2018

wheat vigil
#

Yeah their approach to traits seems to be to make the good ones as bad as the bad ones

paper aspen
#

I just ran a Sim and it is showing that mastery and crit are above haste for me, which is vastly different from what I've been seeing. Now I remember hearing that some default may have been changed but should I trust those results or look into it further?

drifting elbow
#

they are barely more than haste value u know

#

practically equal

#

that changes the instant u put in 50 stat change

shy escarp
#

you also get a bunch of haste in uldir since it'll be your reorigination stat

clever valve
#

What's the deal with these talent combos?

drifting elbow
#

please use nightly version

paper aspen
#

So if I were to get enchants on my rings/weapons, I should go for mastery/crit? Or Mastery/Haste?

high siren
#

hey guys, do you have a macro to use TB if talented, or exsang if talented ?

lofty sand
#

I just got my 5th shoulder in a row in the azerite cache, boy I really love this system.

drifting elbow
#

there is practically no reason to go with mast/haste from normal haste/crit

#

mastery drops pretty fast when u get more mastery

paper aspen
#

Haste/crit is the norm? Okay, only ask because Mastery is the highest according to my sim

drifting elbow
#

its generalized info about weights on haste / crit

#

those personal weights, they are not accounting the loss of specific stat u put into mastery anyway

#

just do gear sims

shy escarp
#

mastery was my highest as well for my M+ set, but it dropped to 2nd pretty quick behind crit.

#

but for ST haste/crit with my 2x double dose/archive is the way to go

supple compass
#

anybody actually been rocking triple DD?

shy escarp
#

it would be worse than 2x DD + 1 uldir trait in raid and you probably don't want to roll triple DD for M+

drifting elbow
#

uhh

#

its pretty clear that at least SS is preferred for m+

mossy hazel
#

yea I was going to say, I haven't seen the sims for it, but I would assume 3x DD wouldn't be very good compared to 2 + 1archive

vernal robin
#

guys how do you setup your raidbots for m+ stat weights? hectic add cleave 2min ?

drifting elbow
#

u dont setup anything like that

#

only thing u can make sense is patchwerk 20sec-1min sims unbuffed

desert vault
#

Huh, wonder why top talents on almost every fight keep showing TB over Exsang, lots of DD traits maybe?

drifting elbow
#

u can see traits of top guys

mossy hazel
#

TB and Exsang are REALLY close to begin with

#

It doesn't take much to swing it one way or the other

desert vault
#

yeah, it is common for the second ven/van combo to be a bigger burst than opener as well? assuming no pots and stuff, just target dummy

drifting elbow
#

uhh, u dont generally compare opener to mid fight cd use dps burst

#

because of lust+pots

winter fog
#

how should your cds in fight deal more damage than your opener

#

your opener literally has twice as many stealth windows

drifting elbow
#

thats only if u use SS tho

desert vault
#

i dunno, just seems like what I'm seeing on the dummy but ...

#

running 2x SS and TB at the moment

drifting elbow
#

MA affecting opener is little as well

desert vault
#

er, 1x SS and 2x Archive sorry 😃

supple compass
#

would you ever take triple DD in tyrannical? If you could?

drifting elbow
#

never?

#

missing that trash dps without SS

winter fog
#

would prolly play 1x SS 2x archive in tyrannical

iron prism
#

It would cost more time than it would save. Unless your margin is really THAT thin that you feel a need to min max

#

Ideally you bring competent people who can single target

#

Or you can be like me and bring a balance Druid pulling 5k in siege of Boralus 10 :/

drifting elbow
#

dps burst varies on opener, so unless u do 10+ test bursts, u cant really compare opener to mid fight one

iron prism
#

Not lately

drifting elbow
#

0 stuff

#

did u sim

slim jolt
#

yup simmed both

drifting elbow
#

to see average difference

iron prism
#

Spyglass is good. Probably depends on context

drifting elbow
#

i see nothing wrong with it tbh

#

spyglass is very good that doesnt rely on standing on same spot

cerulean magnet
#

guys, anyone care to take a look at my logs and point me my mistakes, i had bad parses :C

acoustic tinsel
#

Galecalers very often gets wasted for me

#

specially when you get tanks that just cant stand still

drifting elbow
#

well it doesnt really make a difference

#

galecaller is pretty good but bad side is standing on same spot

acoustic tinsel
#

yar

drifting elbow
#

sometimes i wonder if i should use 350 spy over 370 gale

#

well if they are statbuffers

hollow cloud
#

GWvertiPeepoSadMan i sim 200 less today

drifting elbow
#

absolutely over fathom

hollow cloud
#

why GWvertiPeepoSadMan

sturdy python
#

Are you running tb or exsang?

leaden niche
#

the trinket from fetid mythic dropped last night - passed as fathoms is still better >_<

hollow cloud
#

exsang

#

@sturdy python

sturdy python
#

What's your other trinket fixxed

#

Ah interesting

leaden niche
#

lion's guile

drifting elbow
#

uhh okay, please do use fathom and spy trinket

#

raid trinkets arent any better memes

leaden niche
#

this tiers trinkets suck >_<

iron prism
#

Lol the overcharged just should be deleted

#

Any item for a class that heavily prefers haste and it’s the worst trinket in the game... was clearly not designed right

leaden niche
#

i have a 390 socket overcharge i bonus rolled, worse than fathoms and guile by a longgg way

#

i think the ppm is too low lunitari

#

fathoms may be dull but it's pretty consistent

iron prism
#

@slim jolt btw spyglass is just generally a little better with tb. With exsanguinate gcb should pull ahead

leaden niche
#

doesn't feel as bad as that highroll trinket from nighthold for example

iron prism
#

Probably won’t be a huge difference but gcb should be superior then

drifting elbow
#

while gale is very good, its not practical in m+ or some raid situations

leaden niche
#

i think gale is good where you can use it well, eg fetid adds

sturdy python
#

Just need it to snapshot exsang

iron prism
#

Yeah end of the day I’d rather have spyglass. I’m lazy

leaden niche
#

with exsang it smashes hard

slim jolt
#

yeah tb with spyglass sims better

#

thanks guys

leaden niche
#

however it requires planning to use like the fel crazed rage thingy

iron prism
#

At least mother dropped my 385 dagger last night

leaden niche
#

grim blade
#

had a quick question after reading the guide, during the opener when you vanish to cast a second empowered garrote, can you do that with 5.4 sec left for pandemic? or should you wait for it to fall off first

leaden niche
#

fall off then apply 2 new ones (repeat opener)

grim blade
#

okie, thanks!

iron prism
#

Meh simming 16k now but really need a better trinket than corpuscle

paper aspen
#

I've seen pandemic mentioned a couple times but I realized I don't actually know what that is. Could someone enlighten me please?

iron prism
#

Probably can sim better with MA too

marble hemlock
#

@paper aspen whenever you apply a buff or debuff, if that debuff/buff can pandemic, it means that if that debuff/buff is already present you add up to 30% of the new duration on top of its original value

iron prism
#

Better desc than I was writing

marble hemlock
#

so

paper aspen
#

Ah gotcha, I knew of the mechanic but not the name thanks

marble hemlock
#

apply a 10sec debuff that can pandemic, and its already on the target with 5sec duration? the new one will gain up to 30% of the original duration, meaning 10sec, so it will now have 13sec instead

#

not all buffs/debuffs pandemic tho

#

garrote, envenom, rupture do

#

elaborate planning doesnt

sturdy python
#

I thought it was up to 30 percent of the new application?

marble hemlock
#

yes

#

thats what i mean by "original duration"

sturdy python
#

Ah ok

marble hemlock
#

its the new one, not the previous one

past harbor
#

hey what have you guys found to be the best healers for this week's affixes

sturdy python
#

Not sure for this week specifically but disc, druid and mw are probably the best in general

#

Disc and druid being good dps as well

past harbor
#

ran iwth disc last night and grievous just trucked us, but it could be he was a bad priest

#

feel like druids are strong for this week since the hots can be constantly applied to keep people above 90%

just take leeching poison 4Head

Maybe, their throughput is fine but spot heals are rough

Disc that is

Druiss are always good so you're probably right

what bosses in uldir mythic would u rather take CT instead of PB

lunar tangle
#

atal dazar should i go ct or pb this week eu?

inner pulsar
#

None

marble hemlock
#

shadowmend is pretty broken so disc should be fine

#

they struggled with grievous in legion cause their spotheal was shit, but shadowmend in legion wasnt nearly as strong as it currently is

drifting nebula
#

Is it worth it to wear both lazer matrix and archive inside uldir? Or is either one enough as long as you have the RA and then roll with whatever sims higher?

sturdy python
#

I don't see any issues khuro

#

But that is weird, I ran sims yesterday and definitely wasn't that high on value

#

You're more geared but still

cosmic forge
#

cheers tawney

#

whats weird, is when running sim for outlaw, its in the 1.x range too

#

something doesnt feel right

sturdy python
#

And madchicken, it would depend what level key. CT will be more overall dps if stuff lives long enough

#

Sin definitely out scales outlaw

#

Maybe I'm missing something on the Sim idk

hollow cloud
#

Did they stealth nerf exsang or did the APL change?

#

or am I just delusional

#

Hey guys, outside of your opener how do you use exang? Just on CD?

#

I have double SS btw

karmic ingot
#

@cosmic forge stat weights tell you how much DPS each point of any given stat will provide. The higher your current DPS is, the more DPS each stat is worth because of the multiplicative scaling nature of your stats.

fathom shoal
#

Could someone tell me the point of double garrote after vanish?

low lodge
#

Garrote will be up for 23,4s instead of 18s Dralin

past harbor
#

@late niche would you actually take leeching poison

karmic ingot
#

All secondary stats increase your damage through some percentage based multiplier. Weapon damage and agility increase the base values that are being multiplied. As you get more gear, the multipliers get stronger (because you have more total secondary stats) which makes the base stats worth more DPS. As you gain more base stats, each multiplier is worth more as well.

fathom shoal
#

Got it...so for pandemic then? Should I be doing it in the opener as well @low lodge ?

low lodge
#

Yes, you should

fathom shoal
#

Great. Thank you

low lodge
#

Check the pins and find the link to the guide on Ravenholdt

karmic ingot
#

Opener is Garrote, rupture, Garrote, vendetta, mutilate, rupture exsanguinate.

low lodge
#

It will explain it all 😃

fathom shoal
#

Tyvm

karmic ingot
#

You want the 3 cp rupture so you get max pandemic rupture and max pandemic Garrote before your first exsanguinate.

low lodge
#

@karmic ingot After the opener, when do you use exang then?

karmic ingot
#

On cd.

low lodge
#

So you don't wait for max uptime on garrote and rupture?

karmic ingot
#

You make sure you have max Garrote and rupture before it comes off cd.

void gazelle
#

Should i refresh for full 32 sec pandemic rupture before exsang?

low lodge
#

Alright, ty

karmic ingot
#

If you screwed that’s part up though, probably better to hold for a few seconds to fix that problem first though.

modest zodiac
#

guys. can someone recommend an addon taht shows energy regen per second?

void gazelle
#

I feel like im wasting lot of combo points because i want max pandemic garrote and rupture before exasng

modest zodiac
#

that's fine

old escarp
#

@cosmic forge my stat weights are fairly similar. Haste and agility over 2dps per point. I think it's due to the nature of scaling when you reach a certain ilvl/stat threshold

modest zodiac
#

you'll lose 2-5 combos max

cosmic forge
#

@karmic ingot and @old escarp thanks for the feedback gents

anyone know if sprint helps somewhat on the slow spores in g'huun?

so would you guys actually ever take leeching poison over cheat death in M+

for this week

Guys what’s better for raid - galecaller, harlan, dark moon

Or spyglass ?

Why dont you try use top gear

Its most helpful

^_^

sturdy python

It does rice

cheat death is rarely very useful in m+ tho

lone hamlet
#

Should I choose that I want to compare ?

sturdy python
#

Outlaw is fairly easy for it too but are taking the chance of dropping dps

#

But last nigh I did it as sin, grab it, Sprint, lock port, shadoestrp to furthest glob you can. Best you can do. I believe only a void elf sub rogue can solo

not even that

#

Macro for TB / Exsang as one button please ?!

true hornet
#

hi what is much worth having dual SS (one 385 / one 370) or one ss + one dd ( one 385 / one 385)?

ancient tangle
#

i think your a lucky boy to have a 385 ss :>

#

depends on what your doing id guess, M+ or ST?

true hornet
#

for ST

#

pure ST in raid i mean

ancient tangle
#

DD is head for ST i believe, but you can sim that fairly easily, if it were M+ id say 2 ss without a doubt

#

ahead*

true hornet
#

ok

ancient tangle
#

depends how exsang sits for you i guess, try TB PB 1 SS 1 DD, i guess your other is matrix achives?

true hornet
#

y 😒

ancient tangle
#

and then sim 2 ss and your other with exsang

true hornet
#

its the head : s

ancient tangle
#

thats good, you want one laser or archives for uldir for array

true hornet
#

i got laser matrix atm :/

odd question, but my guild is boosting my alt rogue in a +10 so we were wondering which one has the most possible upgrades in it? feelshmm

@ancient tangle I mean i got the head with laser i dont have anything better :/

slate jacinth
#

In my opener, when should I use galecaller's boon? 😃

ancient tangle

so you have SS on shoulders n chest?

#

Zaiko, if you have exsang right before you use it

slate jacinth
#

No exsang rn 😃

#

Just TB.

true hornet
#

yes

For this week, would you go CT instead of PB? For mythic +. Might be a stupid question

If your keys are high enough that trash lives longer than a full CT I would

clever niche
high lake
#

I see, thank you Tawney!

ancient tangle
#

oni, then your doing good imo dude, but ofc sim it to be sure, laser 2 ss is great for M+

#

ST sim to be safe, but id imagine the DD chest will be better

#

Zaiko, id imagine GCB is right around TB mate, perhaps before so you can jam in the 3 envenoms

Is there a channel where I could have someone look at a log and let me know why there's such a large discrepancy between my opener and another rogue's opener? I'm new to rogue and trying to maximize as much as I can but I'm not sure where to direct the question.

#

Do I use exsang on cd or wait for shrine trinket for combo?

thanks! pls @ me or pm me with my failures!

mossy hazel
#

Very first thing I see, you're 373 with no uldir traits?

@mossy hazel @pine prism already sim my self but i just want to be sure with some advice

pine prism

That sounds good to me

mossy hazel
#

If that's what the sims say your current best combo is, they yea, by all means

cold meteor
#

Got a 385 helm DitB / TtK, actually DitB sims higher but I eard that sim is false about this trait ?

true hornet
#

k thanks @pine prism @mossy hazel and @ancient tangle

cerulean walrus
#

Its damage output is modified by whether you're behind your target right?

mossy hazel
#

@cold meteor Yea, the sim assumes 100% "behind target" uptime, which isn't realistic

cold meteor
#

Ye ok I see, I will go with TtK

rocky notch
#

im using that helm on some fights

#

3% damage on taloc for me

rocky notch

it's probably just fight based

not doing great on Mother

That's my only 385 helm, I will use it 100% of the time ^^

then cd and everyone crosses

some help to figure it out plez?

For mythic

4:30 is a long heroic mother

buoyant coyote
#

we are like 30 ppl not sure if that matter

plucky patio

Oh heroic

#

Heroic you normally just two room it

rustic isle

should be able to 1 room mother on heroic

rocky notch

if he's asking about heroic mother his guild can't 1 room it

esp with 30

Detection?

May I ask why

I'm also intrigued

sinful marsh
#

I was looking at some of my Simc results and noticed that there are a lot of procs of Meticulous Scheming that are wasted

sturdy python
#

Ah ok

sinful marsh
#

I want to use a free ability to proc it and include that in Simc to get a better picture of the value of the trait

mossy hazel
#

So you're just using it as a filler to keep MS up?

sinful marsh
#

Basically

buoyant coyote
#

seems like im playing my rotation correct im just not good on the weapon front 😒

#

an example

mossy hazel
#

Yea, I just replaced almost that exact weapon. Had it for quite a while

no hc wep at all 😒

on my 4-5th weekj

Mom gave me a dagger last week. Was super excited

#

Just need another

obtuse geode
#

is it important to have at least 1 SS trait when doing raids, or can you go without one? I simmed myself and going without it in favor of ilvl370 archive increases dps by 400

Dont have to have SS no

desert vault

+400 is a lot to gain

no reason to pass that up

I was using those before, but it really bothers me that they sheath on the character's back. : /

#

cus then the game would be dead lol

mossy hazel
#

I don't think they're INTENTIONALLY setting a low bar, but I do think a lot of the framework they're putting in now will probably result in the next expansion being fantastic

#

If they survive to the next. 😄

#

Also, speculation: Next new class? Get one every other expansion

cerulean walrus
#

Bard? Battle-mage? We still need another mail wearing class, also this is totally an #off-topic conversation

meager quarry

guhh sin feels so bad without ss, got 385 dagger in the back chest yesterday

cerulean walrus

Its just legion rotation -Kingsbane dude

Did you not play sin during it?

meager quarry
#

i did, just feels like im doing so much less even on ST

late hamlet
#

I understand that people are busy and stuff, but I honestly don't know where else to ask, did Uldir HC with my guild for the first time and my performance was abhorrent, parsed at 16% overall for the raid, could someone maybe take a look at the logs and tell me what the hell did I do that was so wrong?

inner pulsar
#

Post them

shrewd bane
#

just to be sure, on one target the basic rotation (not including how much cb points etc)

#

garrot mutilate rupture THEN vendetta

#

or vendetta before ?

#

like before rupture

late hamlet
inner pulsar
#

@late hamlet Your DoT uptimes are low

#

First of all

#

You don't have an Uldir trait, that is going to make a biig difference

#

You didnt Vanish on Fetid

late hamlet
#

@inner pulsar I now got the 2 laser and 1 matrix pieses, should I drop 1 matrix for SS?

#

@inner pulsar I now got the 2 laser and 1 matrix pieses, should I drop 1 matrix for SS?

inner pulsar
#

You should sim it out

weak socket
#

@shrewd bane It depends on if you have SS trait or not.
With SS trait you do Garrote Rupture Garrote Vendetta ... then it diverges depending on Toxic Blade or Exsang.

lament slate
#

The name. Lmao

inner pulsar
#

You should Rupture again before Exsang to get max unptime on it

inner pulsar
#

SHould look like G > R > G > V > M >R > Exsang

buoyant coyote
#

Got the dagger from Zul ❤

regal ledge
#

so do i want to ever use shrouded on an azerite piece? bloodmallet has it pretty low

inner pulsar
#

First. Herodamage, you are a Rogue

#

Second, as with most things, it depends

regal ledge
#

currently i have 1 double dose, 1 archive, 1 shrouded

#

dont have a 2nd double dose piece to sim it

inner pulsar
#

Thats fine, no use simming something you don't have. The only question worth answering is "What is best out of what I actually have access to"

#

So the question might be "What is the other trait on the SS piece?"

regal ledge
#

yeah but im thinking more of what do i need to go after

inner pulsar
#

How do you plan to target a DD piece?

regal ledge
#

dont really have anyway to?

inner pulsar
#

Exactly

spice surge
#

@inner pulsar You call your uncle who works at blizzard ofc

inner pulsar
#

@spice surge Right right

#

Point is, a lot of energy is expended in hear discussing what is "the best", and I think frequently those traits aren't even available to that person. Focus on optimizing what you have, and then when you get a new piece, do it all over again

buoyant coyote
#

im abit confused

#

I dont want to spam enveom / finsihers just for the sake of it, instead try keep enveom window ?

inner pulsar
#

The idea is that you want to let Envenom just about run out before casting it again

buoyant coyote
#

yea thats what i am doing atm

inner pulsar
#

But that is going to make marginal differences

buoyant coyote
#

I think my raid grp is spamming em out

fossil agate
#

Which 99% of time outside of vendetta happens normally

buoyant coyote
#

due to them just skyrocket in burst but drop after burst

sick monolith
#

boys what a haste range i should shoot for?

inner pulsar
#

@sick monolith The Sim Youself range

late hamlet
#

So, I know its a stupid question, but if I refresh the bleeds during exsang it stops the effect right?

fossil agate
#

As much as sims say its still best

vital haven
#

yes

#

btw i actually never took into account the envenom buff duration

inner pulsar
#

Meaning, if Haste is still your highest stat weight, keep getting more of it

vital haven
#

still getting 99 parses

buoyant coyote
#

mu envenom is around 50-70% uptime avg

vital haven
#

so i guess its not that big of a deal

inner pulsar
#

It isn't

#

Like I said, marginal differences, its akin to the pooling conversation

abstract atlas
#

Am sitting at 22%haste and its still stronger together with crit then agi is for me at 376

buoyant coyote
#

like that one

#

68% uptime

vital haven
#

keeping good uptime on the boss at all times is probably the most important factor in dmg

#

that and doing your rotation right ofc

inner pulsar
#

Yeah, so, forget Envenom uptime, your opener is all fucked up

buoyant coyote
#

some fights i mess my opener alot xD

vital haven
#

like for example the amount of rogues that still dont know that you can immune the cudgel of gore mechanic in taloc is too damn high still

buoyant coyote
#

Just got the SS trait

#

so getting used to it

late niche
#

i'd rather immune the hardened arteries on taloc tbh

inner pulsar
#

Why?

#

Pools require you to get off of boss, Hardened Arteries doesn't

vital haven
#

you can still dmg the boss with hardened arterires

#

and with cudgel of gore he jumps, you cos and shadowstep to him

#

no dmg loss

dense wave
#

I also realized the other day Outlaw can dps ogre shark puncher through sharknado

buoyant coyote
#

btw on ghuun...should i save vendetta until the boss pops out

vital haven
#

use on the first big add

buoyant coyote
#

seems like a waste to use it on a add with low hp

vital haven
#

at the beginning

late niche
#

idk, we have lots of melees so we actually have to move away from boss plus I take less dmg that way and can help soak the other debuff.. I'd probably do your thing if dps was an issue but it reaaaally isn't

inner pulsar
#

You do you boo, just know that is sub-optimal

late niche
#

not as good for the parses tho!

#

but who cares lul

inner pulsar
#

Your way is not as good for the parses you mean?

late niche
#

yea

inner pulsar
#

I am fairly confident that Cloaking the pool debuff is going to give max uptime on the boss, I've never even paid attention the the cudgel

strange python
#

Cant u just feint the cudgel?

dense wave
#

Just depends on luck at that point

inner pulsar
#

Yeah

visual token
#

I always cloak pool and feint cudgel. We are melee heavy too. In p1 it’s nice as there is less blood.

#

Wait, now I’m confused. Ignore me.

cedar kelp
#

so.. is it only me or have these 8.1 builds only released one new trait for sin rogue..

strange python
#

they're going to support multithreading in 8.1

shrewd bane
#

CT on 3 targets is ok ? :/

inner pulsar
#

@visual token You mean you Cloak the blood pool debuff

desert vault
#

does one pool drop if you cloak?

inner pulsar
#

Nope

#

You just yell "Get fucked!" and nothing happens

visual token
#

I think I was confusing which fight you all were discussing

inner pulsar
#

THe best is Cloaking Putrid Paroxysm on Mythic Fetid

late niche
#

optimal use of cloak on taloc is looking cool while passing through a laser beam on the elevator phase

buoyant coyote
#

also

inner pulsar
#

Or Cloaking so you don't get a stack of Lingering Infection on Vectis

visual token
#

Lool

buoyant coyote
#

do you wait to use vendetta for the first beam on boss on ghuun

#

or just use on CD that figght

late niche
#

probably make sure it's available for that phase as it's the most important one

#

but use liberally before that you have plenty of time

buoyant coyote
#

i dont really feel its usefull to pop it at pull aswell due to mobs dying quick as hell

inner pulsar
#

If you pop at the beginning, you will hold the second use for beam phase

buoyant coyote
#

and we are not killiong the dark young

rustic ether
#

i guess im switching to assasination now guys, i figured out i have three of the bis traits on my outlaw gear, 1 shroud suffocation, 1 blightborne , 1 double dose

inner pulsar
#

Just look at one of your fights, when does beam phase happen?

vital haven
#

@rustic ether i would say playt both specs

#

you;d have to a lot more azerite pieces though

rustic ether
#

thats rough T.T

#

my stat weights for outlaw/sin are backwards

#

outlaw needs little haste, sin needs huge haste

vital haven
#

basically you have to get a lot of gear

#

lol

#

but its worth it imo

#

in some fights outlaw is really good

#

and in others sin is really good

#

same thing with sub

hollow cloud
#

just do what I do GWfroggyPepoThumb collect 2 of every azerite piece

#

1 for outlul 1 for assa, i only go sub for zul anyway not reforging for that shit 😡

vital haven
#

"collect 2 of every azerite piece" what game you playing dude

inner pulsar
#

Outlaw is really good in one fight, Zek Vos, and if you don't have the add damage on Mother

final stone
#

im still trying to get zul shoulders.. zul hasent been nice

#

ssx2 and LM

#

BUUUUt mythic zul tonight or tomorrow

vital haven
#

outlaw for mythic mother is really good

#

all that padding in the last room

#

you kidding

inner pulsar
#

And Blightborne is good for Outlaw and Ass

#

Yeah, its good for padding

vital haven
#

i go from 13k to 22k just from that last room

#

and heroic doesnt matter that much anymore but heroic zul is a good outlaw fight as well

inner pulsar
#

I just let the Frost DK and DH melt the adds

rustic ether
#

wait i thought mastery wasnt great for sin? its my top stat needed

#

i guess its just becasue i have almost NO gear with mastery on it?

strange python
#

yes

vital haven
#

its good for trash

#

and m+

rustic ether
#

ahahhahaa damn lol

vital haven
#

long st fights probably not

gilded yoke
#

is SS still one of the best traits? bloodmallet and personal simming has it so low now

strange python
#

for m+ ye

gilded yoke
#

so I guess that will be the start of a key gear build. thanks

inner pulsar
#

ALright, so real talk, hope no one comes in and bans me, but how do so many people know that SS was good, but those same people not know it is no longer as good in raid? It has been a while now

vital haven
#

the word SS should be banned in this channel

#

lel

#

like seriouysly its been a month

strange python
#

is mace better than dagger?

gilded yoke
#

for me personally its because I had no traits that were better until this week.

inner pulsar
#

I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time, I'm just curious.

#

Ah oke

#

@strange python None of that!

vital haven
#

its good in certain situations

#

hell if you see warcraft logs plenty of rogues still use it

glacial steppe
#

so they just copied taloc trinket and put it in as loot for the new raid

#

with a new icon/name

#

kek

vital haven
#

SS is good in mythic fetid for example

spice surge
#

Theres nothing wrong with the taloc trinket though

#

Except it being tuned awfully

vital haven
#

where you gotta kill the blobs super quick

glacial steppe
#

except its literally useless for most agi classes

spice surge
#

Because its tuned bad

final stone
#

i still have 2ss but one is 385 chest and other is 340 shoulders and ive been unlucky with zul soo rip

spice surge
#

I much prefer those types of trinkets to g'huun trinkets

glacial steppe
#

yeah but

final stone
#

but 2ss still do great for me

glacial steppe
#

why

spice surge
#

They might think nobody would notice as nobody is using it atm 😉

glacial steppe
#

exactly the same trinket just with a different name lol

inner pulsar
#

Could be a PH

glacial steppe

dunno but it has a new icon and name already so

Where did you see it? I cant find any lists of new items, only the icons

Im excited I got a 370 with my second twist the knife. Now I need zul shoulders so I can use it

glacial steppe

high tinker mekkatorque

spice surge
#

Ty guess im just stupid

inner pulsar
#

@spice surge No no....just blind

spice surge
#

How about both?

#

I was looking at mmo-c

inner pulsar
#

👌

glacial steppe
#

hmpf

#

they copied so many items, lets hope its just PH

spice surge
#

It literally used the same buff as well, peculiar, oh well guess we have to see what they do

#

Hopefully they tune the new raid trinkets better so theyre useful

inner pulsar
#

Nope, all development power is going into Azerite traits

spice surge
#

Tuning and making things interesting is different though

inner pulsar
#

"We know people don't like the current Azerite system. We hear you. So here is another ring of Azerite traits on your gear."

glacial steppe
#

id rather grind AP like an ape

#

for cool gold traits

#

tbh

inner pulsar
#

I don't mind the Azerite trait system itself. I don't care for the fact that I can't target a certain trait.

spice surge
#

In 8.1 most pieces will have the single trait you want

#

Getting the doubles you want will be as difficult as it is atm though

inner pulsar
#

Step in the right direction I suppose

#

But this isn't Assassin specific conversation, best to move on

glacial steppe
#

i wish i had double dose pieces

spice surge
#

I got some fat twist traits this week, if i go all in on it i can get almost 70k crits

#

Pretty sick

inner pulsar
#

THere we go

ornate mantle
#

is fetid trinket any good?

#

or dice + galecaller better in every way

inner pulsar
#

@ornate mantle

hollow cloud
#

Fetid trinket sims decently

#

obviously depends on ur dice + galecallers ilvl

#

and the fetid trinket aswell

ornate mantle
#

oh its to know if i should roll coin

inner pulsar
#

You mean on Fetid?

ornate mantle
#

yes

inner pulsar
#

No

#

I mean

hollow cloud
#

🤔

inner pulsar
#

Don't for the trinket

#

The chestpiece is good, but for instance if you already had that, I would not coin it

languid goblet
#

Quick question: what settings in simc do you use to sim for mythic + ?

hollow cloud
#

I mean its pretty close for me

#

galecallers 370
dice 365
fetid 385
dmd 355
But again ilvl will change ur sims obviously

hybrid harness
#

If Im playing galecallers and exsang, do I only exsang every 1 min when i can snapshot haste? or still on cd?

spice surge
#

Cd

lime briar
#

really? i thought you always use it with gcb

languid goblet
#

!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.

spice surge
#

If you miss a cast because you lined them up you lost damage

#

What you can do (and should) is delay third gcb so it lines up with vendetta/vanish

#

So instead of using it at 2.03 use it at like 2.20

#

But dont delay exsang

inner pulsar
#

OR, if we are talking about Raid, stop using Exsang

lime briar
#

okay thanks i'll try that out

sturdy python
#

Depends on your traits

hybrid harness
#

exsang sims better than toxic blade for me by a solid 300 dps

#

cache gave me 385 ss shoulders

lime briar
#

same here

hybrid harness
#

and I had the fetid chest

deft flint
#

Do you alwasy refresh Rupture and Garrote if under 20 sec and hlf duration before using Exsan?

inner pulsar
#

it beat out TB, or MA+TB?

sturdy python
#

I sim exactly the same with sub exsang and ma TB since I have higher ilvl ss

lethal swallow
#

Weird question; with subterfuge do I need to garrote FIRST to get the bonus from stealth or do I just need to do it while I can continue to use stealth abilities?

spice surge
#

Stealth abilities

lethal swallow
#

cool, so within the timeframe is fine then

lime briar
#

yes but usually you garrote first so you can rupture then garrote within subterfuge

sturdy python
#

But you should try to get Max garrotes

lime briar
#

this is for ST so you can get elaborate planning up, and refresh pandemic timer for garrote

#

for multi target its just garrote 3x

hybrid harness
#

@inner pulsar double checking

lethal swallow
#

I had some great parses on early bosses last night man I suck at Mythrax

#

I also overgear heroic...but still

plucky patio
#

.Probably a stupid question, but what traits should I be rocking for Uldir? DD, Archive, SS, or stack up two of them

hybrid harness
#

even with MA, exsang is still my top sim

inner pulsar
#

Word. Keep on keeping on

#

Nice gear btw

ionic charm
#

Sims are weird, everyone's talents seem random. Since I got my gcb subterfuge tb sims highest now instead of ma

inner pulsar
#

@plucky patio You should rock whatever sims highest out of your current available traits

hybrid harness
#

thanks fam

#

tbh im happy that exsang is top for me, its a much better playstyle then tb

sturdy python
#

Agree

lethal swallow
#

for you

#

😉

hybrid harness
#

It looks like 8.1 PTR added a small attack power modifier to SS so maybe itll come back into meta

oak grail
#

How is running 2x Archives and 1xSS? OR is it better with 2xSS and 1xArchive

hybrid harness
#

Youd have to sim, but 1 ss is small

#

the 2nd one is much bigger than the first

lethal swallow
#

don't double up on archive, it's not weighted too high after you get one due to RA

#

but sim to make sure

spice surge
#

The added AP to ss isnt a buff

#

Its already there ingame, just not on the tooltip

hybrid harness
#

ah

#

bummer

spice surge
#

Unless they did something this most recent update, because the previous ones were just tooltip updates

inner pulsar
#

How much do y'all think a gem slot is worth in terms of ilvl? Round about?

lucid bolt
#

wqhats the difference in playstyle between exsang and tb? ive never tried it before

spice surge
#

Depends on the slot

lethal swallow
#

^^

spice surge
#

Like 25 for wrists/back but only like 10 for legs

hybrid harness
#

depends on the slot, but 80+ dps per gem at my current gear

inner pulsar
#

Hmmmmm

#

I think I've been undervaluing them in my decisions to pass on some gear

hybrid harness
#

@lucid bolt TB, you basically use on cd, exsang you need to set up your bleeds for max duration and take advantage of haste snapshotting where possible

#

overall exsang is burstier, but a bit harder to play

modest zodiac
dry thicket
#

do you want to keep EP up for nearly 100% of TB? or maximize envenom uptime overall in the fight

lucid bolt
#

thx @hybrid harness

modest zodiac
abstract raven
#

quick question, can weapons that drop from m+ (not the cache) forge? someone just told me they cant

inner pulsar
#

@dry thicket Just try to get the highest number of Envenoms you can get inside of the TB window, 2 normally, 3 with Vendetta

dry thicket
#

isnt more possible when pooling energy?

#

beforehand*

hybrid harness
#

I did vectis yesterday and he did his 3rd down phase at literally 1 hp

abstract raven
#

@dry thicket depends on crits

#

ive gotten four without vendetta because of 4 point finishers

#

think it was during heroism tho

dry thicket
#

i mean.. thats basically my question. should i pool as much as possible without dropping bleeds before tb?

abstract raven
#

i do

spice surge
#

I dont see why the weapons wouldnt adhere to their regular forging @abstract raven

serene glacier
#

I replaced my last SS trait... How do I play this spec now NotLikeThis

abstract raven
#

@spice surge aight cool, i thought the same thing but they said it was like azerite gear lol.

sudden trench
#

You dont play without ss

abstract raven
#

@serene glacier dont, if its not 200+ dps keep at least one imo

serene glacier
#

replaced 370 SS with 385 DD

inner pulsar
#

@dry thicket Yes, technically you should, but it doesn't make a huge difference

abstract raven
#

riperino. i wont play without at least one because of how smooth it is

inner pulsar
#

@serene glacier You just change your opener and vanish sequence, the 0ther 98% of the fight and rotation stays the same

serene glacier
#

ik... twas just a joke... it's just feel wierd to not get those sweet CP xd

inner pulsar
#

@serene glacier Well, as you can see, some people don't realize how little it actually changes

dry thicket
#

ok ty. just trying to maximize my dps on vectis myth while i played sub everywhere else so far

inner pulsar
#

@dry thicket There are more than a few high parsing people in here that say pooling is nonsense, so it apparently doesn't matter too much

modest zodiac
#

just play ass with 3 ss

#

and garrote the shit out of adds

dry thicket
#

😄

modest zodiac
#

vanish and vendetta will be up for 1st and 6th amalgam

dry thicket
#

i can choose between 385 dagger in the back and 370 SS

#

on chest

abstract raven
#

i thought pooling was a must this expac because of EP?? like making sure its uptime on combos and finishers is as high as possible

whole sonnet
#

If you don't have ss and have dd, how do you do your opener with sub? Garrote, Mut for 4+, Rup without refreshing garrote?

icy crater
#

depends on talents

whole sonnet
#

Same question applies to vanish I guess

icy crater
#

All the openers are on the guide with ss/no ss and talent swaps

abstract raven
#

^ on ravenholdt

drifting pulsar
#

when you cloak the ruin on mythrax. do you still dmg people near you ?

pliant orbit
raven scaffold
#

370DD vs 370SS for mythic raiding?

deft flint
#

Is MA actually better when it sims higher?

strange python
#

lol what

maiden siren
#

fuck got 385 with Sharpned blades.. Gotta play cancer rotation now

crisp hollow
#

SB doesn't impact sin much

#

just throw at 30

#

i think sub tries to line it up with buffs and such but sin normally doesnt give a shit

native saddle
#

@drifting pulsar yes you do, but you can cloak before he casts it to completely nullify it

fringe wyvern
#

what do you guys do if TB comes of cooldown and you have 5 combo points? I know it means you probably fucked up, but is it better to hit TB and waste a CP so you can get a 5 CP Envenom off right after? Or would you do Envenom>TB>Mut>Mut?

north terrace
#

I mean... not sure why having 5 CP when it comes off of CD would be a fuck up

#

If you have no energy too, then you fucked up

#

I would have energy though and Envenom > TB > Mut/Env Spam

sudden trench
#

@raven scaffold what other traits

fringe wyvern
#

yea, i just thought it would be ideal to have like 4 CP then TB>Env>Mut etc... to get more envenoms off in TB

#

like would it be worth wasting 1 combo point to get off 1 more envenom in TB? thats kinda what im wondering

placid elbow
#

I mean, you could just Env>TB with EB buff>Mut

echo geyser
#

Thoughts on 385 meticulous scheming vs 340 shrouded suffocation in m+ for a sin?

crisp hollow
#

can someone go over this log for me?

strange python
#

why didnt u use vanish?

crisp hollow
#

ooh thats a good question

#

mustve forgot, we had different healers in so i was worried about needing to feint/health pot

strange python
#

i mean that dps is ok when ure going between rooms

#

But u missed 2 vanishes

crisp hollow
#

i was group 5 out of 7 so i had okish uptime on her, she died hella fast on p3

#

but yeah good call there on vanish

#

completely slipped my mind for some reason

strange python
#

Um

#

You missed 2 casts of galecaller

#

Or maybe u didnt, cant say
