oh ok, let it drop
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
@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:
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
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?
Yea SS/Exsang has fat openers but TB builds are more consistent dps
@shy axle 6+ targets spam ct over env
Exsang is great for priority dmg though
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
5 is situational
that also explains why enchance is up there, because of it's procs
@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
@pearl meteor thx
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
I swear this gets asked every 12 hours
Proc rate seems to be around 20%
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
Why would you cast rupture after vendetta
I dunno? Isn't that the opener? Vend > Mut > Rup?
For which build?
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
SS+Exsang
no
Yikes
Grgmrvexsan
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
Rupture after does
i see. thank you so much @wispy quest that clears things up nicely
For exsang
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
Yes you want to press rupture right before exsang probably but I’m sure the difference is minimal
You should make that your toon name @wheat zealot
@wispy quest 12m death from above 
Grgmrvexsan
damn, that was a fun time on kj
nah, 7.2 assa best iteration evah
A1 name
i miss so much CD juggling T_T
@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 )
blizz give me back CD juggling T_T
anyone in here good at going over logs and can possible help me?
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
Whats your haste
started out in raid last night as 960 but ended at like 1100
what
Ye that’s fine
the people I'm comparing myself to all seem to have over 1500. is there a soft haste cap around that range?
@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
Its his haste rating
oh
dont have that yet. I'm unlucky when it comes to raid gear lol
Welp theres ur issue for haste
lol
The rest is just dot uptime
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 ...
so that 500 haste I'm missing is just that stupid trait I dont have yet
for raiding, ye
Assuming you have 7 stacks ye
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
🤔
is there catch up for that indicaz?
so I got a piece with laser matrix last night and I plan to put that on.
no
Its 3 per week
yeah thats what I thought
I've been clearing the raid since it came out. so I should have max stacks
afaik you get 1 stack every week that you kill ATLEAST 3 bosses of uldir ( doesn't matter difficulty, can even be lfr )
Idk how you have no 370+ uldir pieces
we roll BiS before main spec upgrade
🤔
what
and I was dumb and didnt have them
right. I'm dumb lol
just thought about that last night. cus the raid pieces arent super great. just need 1 to start with
next raid u gonna veto that shit
unanimous decision between me myself and I that you give the item to me m8
then the only uldir trait that drops is for the piece you already have a 385 ...
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?
No
thanks for the help guys. I hope the reorigination array helps me get more mutilates off
hmm wait with exsang till galecaller is up? 🤔
No
you hold gcb for vanish/vend/exs combo tho
@clever jackal did you check the overall energy generation of the other guys?
idk how to check passive haste gains
oh another 370 azerite piece for alliance today, come on DD!
got tidal surge and gutripper from that 😄
not sure if wowanalyzer is still working or not for ass rouges
when I go to resources then energy. "venomous vim" is the only thing that comes up
which boss is this again
This whole SS/Exsang is going to take some getting used to! I don't like the huge DPS drops, makes me feel sad
I was looking at vectis. because for some reason I am always low on that fight
Its not huge dps drops
don’t get it why galecaller is so good with exsang, it only lines up at the pull
do you use fok on vectis?
@peak musk you make it line up on all the vend/vanish/exs
If you remember to use GCB on its second CD it will line back up
I sometimes tend to forget 😃
ok ...
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
Ur using tb?
pretty similar kill time
R u getting 2 env in each tb
also similar garrote/rupture
(Cant look @ log in in bed) lol
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
Ur env dmg shld b higher imo thats why i ask but idk cant rly look atm
the only thing i can tell you is that i have absurd amounts of haste and 3x overwhelming power
well.. my crit for that is like 10% less then it normally is
i did 21 more mutilates on you on the same fight that lasted only 17s longer
and we had basically the same dot uptime
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
Go look @ raw energy gained @daring imp between two logs
yours Venomous Vim 2467 43 2424
mine
Venomous Vim 3470 107 3363
Restore Energy 100 0 100
how can you look at raw energy gain?
Not dotting add? 🤔
^
is that the venomous vim?
Yes
ok
did you bother gar/rup the add right when it spawns?
only 1000 more energy...... chump change
if it's already midway dead no point to do any of those
not with gar/rup
Ah
I think so?
i don't think you did @_@"
you had 18 garrote ticks and 24 rupture ticks on adds
I have a 355 az chest with SS and a 385 with scent of blood. no other SS. Which is better?
i had 50 and 48
haste does effect the dots right?
yep
so with my 50% extra haste. that would be closer to 27 and 32
but you still had 50 and 48
i literally dotted everyone one of them
with both bleeds as soon as they spawned ( sometimes delayed garrote a bit cuz of cd )
ye that too
is there a way to check that add up time?
@pearl meteor Ek did more damage too adds than ong, he just envenomed instead of bleeds
maybe it's not worth it to dot adds at all if they die too quick?
Look @ dmg done to specific adds so 1st n u will see window
Secrets of the Deep ...what is that traysh!
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
Yea you know when the add is gonna spawn so you can save CP for it and just rupture/garrote it
Sad, no DD in the azerite today 😐
Idk how long it lives, my guild is doing mythic so it’s up for a bit longer
It doesnt matter much as you get much of that energy back anyway, but yes you dont need 5 cp
Its a dmg loss
That add gets evaporated on heroic in my guild
I wld if it was a guild run lmao
I don’t pug really
My guild stopped doing heroic awhile ago
Same
Ah
our adds were dying in like 6 seconds
Mhm
Yea we have demon hunters and warrior out the ass
So it just gets deleted on heroic
nvm. closer to 10 for average
a big part of all that extra energy i got back was from rupture when add died
which translated in more mutilates
Yea you get like a full bar of energy if you have any significant time left on the rupture
when an add dies that fast. would a 2 CP rupture be better then a full 5cp?
Prob
blizz fixing engine and allowing multi threading in 8.1
that way you dont waste 3 cp on because of how fast it dies
Just like put whatever you have CP wise on the add
Supposedly but they gonna fk it up lmao @strange python
It’s not really a huge waste because you get a lot of energy back if it dies with rupture still going
Just support at least 2 cores rofl
well if I'm max. I was thinking envenoming vectis. then switching. mutilate and rupture the add
Yeaaa
for example
i only saw two like those on yours
and i'm still pretty sure one is from vendetta
that's the energy gained when an add dies?
Yes
It gives you the energy you would have got if the remaining duration of rupture had been allowed to tick
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 )
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
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
sub seems way harder to use though. with all the mechanics you have to deal with
My outlaw out sims sin in St because of my stat distro
I always simmed higher on my sub then sin. but I actually do more on sin
It's not that hard once you figure out dance
Unless you have a bad comp
Missing one shadow strike is bad
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
Its not hard , but its very punishimg
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
True
It does on add fights
Still feels so sad when u ruin ur dance enveloping or not
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
thanks for all the help guys
then blizzard nerfed sharpened blades, RIP SB 2018-2018
Yeah their approach to traits seems to be to make the good ones as bad as the bad ones
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?
they are barely more than haste value u know
practically equal
that changes the instant u put in 50 stat change
you also get a bunch of haste in uldir since it'll be your reorigination stat
please use nightly version
So if I were to get enchants on my rings/weapons, I should go for mastery/crit? Or Mastery/Haste?
hey guys, do you have a macro to use TB if talented, or exsang if talented ?
I just got my 5th shoulder in a row in the azerite cache, boy I really love this system.
there is practically no reason to go with mast/haste from normal haste/crit
mastery drops pretty fast when u get more mastery
Haste/crit is the norm? Okay, only ask because Mastery is the highest according to my sim
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
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
anybody actually been rocking triple DD?
it would be worse than 2x DD + 1 uldir trait in raid and you probably don't want to roll triple DD for M+
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
guys how do you setup your raidbots for m+ stat weights? hectic add cleave 2min ?
u dont setup anything like that
only thing u can make sense is patchwerk 20sec-1min sims unbuffed
Huh, wonder why top talents on almost every fight keep showing TB over Exsang, lots of DD traits maybe?
u can see traits of top guys
TB and Exsang are REALLY close to begin with
It doesn't take much to swing it one way or the other
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
uhh, u dont generally compare opener to mid fight cd use dps burst
because of lust+pots
how should your cds in fight deal more damage than your opener
your opener literally has twice as many stealth windows
thats only if u use SS tho
i dunno, just seems like what I'm seeing on the dummy but ...
running 2x SS and TB at the moment
MA affecting opener is little as well
er, 1x SS and 2x Archive sorry 😃
would you ever take triple DD in tyrannical? If you could?
would prolly play 1x SS 2x archive in tyrannical
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 :/
dps burst varies on opener, so unless u do 10+ test bursts, u cant really compare opener to mid fight one
Not lately
yup simmed both
to see average difference
Spyglass is good. Probably depends on context
i see nothing wrong with it tbh
spyglass is very good that doesnt rely on standing on same spot
guys, anyone care to take a look at my logs and point me my mistakes, i had bad parses :C
Galecalers very often gets wasted for me
specially when you get tanks that just cant stand still
well it doesnt really make a difference
galecaller is pretty good but bad side is standing on same spot
yar
sometimes i wonder if i should use 350 spy over 370 gale
well if they are statbuffers
i sim 200 less today
absolutely over fathom
why 
Are you running tb or exsang?
the trinket from fetid mythic dropped last night - passed as fathoms is still better >_<
lion's guile
this tiers trinkets suck >_<
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
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
@slim jolt btw spyglass is just generally a little better with tb. With exsanguinate gcb should pull ahead
doesn't feel as bad as that highroll trinket from nighthold for example
Probably won’t be a huge difference but gcb should be superior then
while gale is very good, its not practical in m+ or some raid situations
i think gale is good where you can use it well, eg fetid adds
Just need it to snapshot exsang
Yeah end of the day I’d rather have spyglass. I’m lazy
with exsang it smashes hard
however it requires planning to use like the fel crazed rage thingy
At least mother dropped my 385 dagger last night
gz ^^
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
fall off then apply 2 new ones (repeat opener)
okie, thanks!
Meh simming 16k now but really need a better trinket than corpuscle
I've seen pandemic mentioned a couple times but I realized I don't actually know what that is. Could someone enlighten me please?
Probably can sim better with MA too
@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
Better desc than I was writing
so
Ah gotcha, I knew of the mechanic but not the name thanks
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
I thought it was up to 30 percent of the new application?
Ah ok
its the new one, not the previous one
hey what have you guys found to be the best healers for this week's affixes
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
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
Am i being derp - i dont remember weights being over 2.X last time i ran it. Anyone see something i messup? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5NfmkkVuMszhGuxiUJJTBh
what bosses in uldir mythic would u rather take CT instead of PB
atal dazar should i go ct or pb this week eu?
None
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
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?
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
cheers tawney
whats weird, is when running sim for outlaw, its in the 1.x range too
something doesnt feel right
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
Hey guys, outside of your opener how do you use exang? Just on CD?
I have double SS btw
@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.
Could someone tell me the point of double garrote after vanish?
Garrote will be up for 23,4s instead of 18s Dralin
@late niche would you actually take leeching poison
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.
Got it...so for pandemic then? Should I be doing it in the opener as well @low lodge ?
Yes, you should
Great. Thank you
Check the pins and find the link to the guide on Ravenholdt
Opener is Garrote, rupture, Garrote, vendetta, mutilate, rupture exsanguinate.
It will explain it all 😃
Tyvm
You want the 3 cp rupture so you get max pandemic rupture and max pandemic Garrote before your first exsanguinate.
@karmic ingot After the opener, when do you use exang then?
On cd.
So you don't wait for max uptime on garrote and rupture?
You make sure you have max Garrote and rupture before it comes off cd.
Should i refresh for full 32 sec pandemic rupture before exsang?
Alright, ty
If you screwed that’s part up though, probably better to hold for a few seconds to fix that problem first though.
guys. can someone recommend an addon taht shows energy regen per second?
I feel like im wasting lot of combo points because i want max pandemic garrote and rupture before exasng
that's fine
@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
you'll lose 2-5 combos max
@karmic ingot and @old escarp thanks for the feedback gents
u use vendetta after 50% for Fetid speedkill?
Sup guys, when you guys run high level keystones, what's a good trait setup
whats the rotation for MA without SS? TB + PB ( raid spec )
got my 2nd peice of DD 385, have head and chest now :>
have always had 1 peice SS, but thats now out the window, sure going to miss the 2 cp
its on the site

anyone got any info on the real world differences between mantle and subterfuge on pure ST without any SS?
Been out of the loop for a bit, whats the reason SS being on the bottom on bloodmallet?
Bloodmallets profile uses master assassin, not subterfuge
Ss is worthless with master assassin
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
It does rice
cheat death is rarely very useful in m+ tho
Should I choose that I want to compare ?
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
Only heard rumors so wasn't sure
Step > step > vanish > shadowstrike is all you should need to solo it
double step?

Sub rogues have two

does anyone know if DitB is affected by mastery as sin rogue ?
It shouldn't be
whats that?
Dagger in the back k
ah
since its a bleed i was kinda wondering
hi guys, dead eye 360, harlans 350 and i got plume 375 what should i change??

Macro for TB / Exsang as one button please ?!
hi what is much worth having dual SS (one 385 / one 370) or one ss + one dd ( one 385 / one 385)?
i think your a lucky boy to have a 385 ss :>
depends on what your doing id guess, M+ or ST?
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*
ok
depends how exsang sits for you i guess, try TB PB 1 SS 1 DD, i guess your other is matrix achives?
y 😒
and then sim 2 ss and your other with exsang
its the head : s
thats good, you want one laser or archives for uldir for array
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? 
@ancient tangle I mean i got the head with laser i dont have anything better :/
In my opener, when should I use galecaller's boon? 😃
so you have SS on shoulders n chest?
Zaiko, if you have exsang right before you use it
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
Broke into the 17k club 😄
I see, thank you Tawney!
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
grtz @clever niche
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.
anyone care to view my logs and see where im messing up at? i tend to do lower than a fellow rogue whos dpsing me by 2/3k every fight but were the same ilevel
Do I use exsang on cd or wait for shrine trinket for combo?
@ancient tangle I got the DD chest 385 so in pure st i should go 1 ss 385 + 1 385 dd + the laser atm right?
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
That sounds good to me
If that's what the sims say your current best combo is, they yea, by all means
Got a 385 helm DitB / TtK, actually DitB sims higher but I eard that sim is false about this trait ?
k thanks @pine prism @mossy hazel and @ancient tangle
Its damage output is modified by whether you're behind your target right?
@cold meteor Yea, the sim assumes 100% "behind target" uptime, which isn't realistic
Ye ok I see, I will go with TtK
it's probably just fight based
not doing great on Mother
mother is all about the strat your guild uses
That's my only 385 helm, I will use it 100% of the time ^^
we nuke room 1-2
then cd and everyone crosses
Everyone cross stray is easy mode
wait so you do all 3 rooms?
some help to figure it out plez?
For mythic
4:30 is a long heroic mother
we are like 30 ppl not sure if that matter
should be able to 1 room mother on heroic
true
Im asking on what to improve on
my envenom uptime or wot
this is what WoAn says
but might not be accruate
Is there a line I could add to Simulationcraft that would have my character case Detection when pooling energy>
I'm also intrigued
I was looking at some of my Simc results and noticed that there are a lot of procs of Meticulous Scheming that are wasted
Ah ok
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
So you're just using it as a filler to keep MS up?
Basically
seems like im playing my rotation correct im just not good on the weapon front 😒
an example
Yea, I just replaced almost that exact weapon. Had it for quite a while
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
I saw some rogue with red daggers sheathed on his back, is that an artifact appearnce? not sure what spec she was
could be a million things. red see-through is prolly from sub artifact mage tower
sorry, thats an assassin blade https://www.wowhead.com/challenging-artifact-weapon-appearances
thats what i use..was mage tower for sin
I was using those before, but it really bothers me that they sheath on the character's back. : /
lol thats part i like about them
dont get the booty shake from the belt sheathed daggers
lol
i actually loved the mage tower stuff before they were super easy, hope we get more of that
Pre nerf sin rogue quest to get Kingslayers
That would be nice
Teach those rogues how to really stealth
alright will stick to archive then, thanks guys
yeah the quest for kingslayers was great..legion was great for class fantasy stuff
Indeed
inb4 BFA is just here to set the bar low so they drop another bomb expac in 2 years.
doubt it
hope that they dont listen too all those whiny people on the offical forum/reddit
cus then the game would be dead lol
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
Bard? Battle-mage? We still need another mail wearing class, also this is totally an #off-topic conversation
guhh sin feels so bad without ss, got 385 dagger in the back chest yesterday
i did, just feels like im doing so much less even on ST
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?
Post them
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
@inner pulsar https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jLpqJ9bg3RBz16Av/ I'm Somehow
@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
@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?
You should sim it out
@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.
The name. Lmao
You should Rupture again before Exsang to get max unptime on it
SHould look like G > R > G > V > M >R > Exsang
Got the dagger from Zul ❤
so do i want to ever use shrouded on an azerite piece? bloodmallet has it pretty low
currently i have 1 double dose, 1 archive, 1 shrouded
dont have a 2nd double dose piece to sim it
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?"
yeah but im thinking more of what do i need to go after
How do you plan to target a DD piece?
dont really have anyway to?
Exactly
@inner pulsar You call your uncle who works at blizzard ofc
@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
im abit confused
I dont want to spam enveom / finsihers just for the sake of it, instead try keep enveom window ?
The idea is that you want to let Envenom just about run out before casting it again
yea thats what i am doing atm
But that is going to make marginal differences
I think my raid grp is spamming em out
Which 99% of time outside of vendetta happens normally
due to them just skyrocket in burst but drop after burst
boys what a haste range i should shoot for?
@sick monolith The Sim Youself range
So, I know its a stupid question, but if I refresh the bleeds during exsang it stops the effect right?
As much as sims say its still best
Meaning, if Haste is still your highest stat weight, keep getting more of it
still getting 99 parses
mu envenom is around 50-70% uptime avg
so i guess its not that big of a deal
Am sitting at 22%haste and its still stronger together with crit then agi is for me at 376
like that one
68% uptime
keeping good uptime on the boss at all times is probably the most important factor in dmg
that and doing your rotation right ofc
Yeah, so, forget Envenom uptime, your opener is all fucked up
some fights i mess my opener alot xD
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
i'd rather immune the hardened arteries on taloc tbh
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
I also realized the other day Outlaw can dps ogre shark puncher through sharknado
btw on ghuun...should i save vendetta until the boss pops out
use on the first big add
seems like a waste to use it on a add with low hp
at the beginning
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
You do you boo, just know that is sub-optimal
Your way is not as good for the parses you mean?
yea
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
Cant u just feint the cudgel?
Just depends on luck at that point
Yeah
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.
so.. is it only me or have these 8.1 builds only released one new trait for sin rogue..
they're going to support multithreading in 8.1
CT on 3 targets is ok ? :/
@visual token You mean you Cloak the blood pool debuff
does one pool drop if you cloak?
I think I was confusing which fight you all were discussing
THe best is Cloaking Putrid Paroxysm on Mythic Fetid
optimal use of cloak on taloc is looking cool while passing through a laser beam on the elevator phase
also
Or Cloaking so you don't get a stack of Lingering Infection on Vectis
Lool
do you wait to use vendetta for the first beam on boss on ghuun
or just use on CD that figght
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
i dont really feel its usefull to pop it at pull aswell due to mobs dying quick as hell
If you pop at the beginning, you will hold the second use for beam phase
and we are not killiong the dark young
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
Just look at one of your fights, when does beam phase happen?
@rustic ether i would say playt both specs
you;d have to a lot more azerite pieces though
thats rough T.T
my stat weights for outlaw/sin are backwards
outlaw needs little haste, sin needs huge haste
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
just do what I do
collect 2 of every azerite piece
1 for outlul 1 for assa, i only go sub for zul anyway not reforging for that shit 😡
"collect 2 of every azerite piece" what game you playing dude
Outlaw is really good in one fight, Zek Vos, and if you don't have the add damage on Mother
im still trying to get zul shoulders.. zul hasent been nice
ssx2 and LM
BUUUUt mythic zul tonight or tomorrow
outlaw for mythic mother is really good
all that padding in the last room
you kidding
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
I just let the Frost DK and DH melt the adds
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?
yes
ahahhahaa damn lol
long st fights probably not
is SS still one of the best traits? bloodmallet and personal simming has it so low now
for m+ ye
so I guess that will be the start of a key gear build. thanks
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
is mace better than dagger?
for me personally its because I had no traits that were better until this week.
I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time, I'm just curious.
Ah oke
@strange python None of that!
its good in certain situations
hell if you see warcraft logs plenty of rogues still use it
so they just copied taloc trinket and put it in as loot for the new raid
with a new icon/name
kek
SS is good in mythic fetid for example
where you gotta kill the blobs super quick
except its literally useless for most agi classes
Because its tuned bad
i still have 2ss but one is 385 chest and other is 340 shoulders and ive been unlucky with zul soo rip
I much prefer those types of trinkets to g'huun trinkets
yeah but
but 2ss still do great for me
why
They might think nobody would notice as nobody is using it atm 😉
exactly the same trinket just with a different name lol
Could be a PH
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
high tinker mekkatorque
Ty guess im just stupid
@spice surge No no....just blind
👌
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
Nope, all development power is going into Azerite traits
Tuning and making things interesting is different though
"We know people don't like the current Azerite system. We hear you. So here is another ring of Azerite traits on your gear."
I don't mind the Azerite trait system itself. I don't care for the fact that I can't target a certain trait.
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
Step in the right direction I suppose
But this isn't Assassin specific conversation, best to move on
i wish i had double dose pieces
I got some fat twist traits this week, if i go all in on it i can get almost 70k crits
Pretty sick
THere we go
@ornate mantle
Fetid trinket sims decently
obviously depends on ur dice + galecallers ilvl
and the fetid trinket aswell
oh its to know if i should roll coin
You mean on Fetid?
yes
🤔
Don't for the trinket
The chestpiece is good, but for instance if you already had that, I would not coin it
Quick question: what settings in simc do you use to sim for mythic + ?
I mean its pretty close for me
galecallers 370
dice 365
fetid 385
dmd 355
But again ilvl will change ur sims obviously
If Im playing galecallers and exsang, do I only exsang every 1 min when i can snapshot haste? or still on cd?
Cd
really? i thought you always use it with gcb
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
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
OR, if we are talking about Raid, stop using Exsang
okay thanks i'll try that out
Depends on your traits
exsang sims better than toxic blade for me by a solid 300 dps
cache gave me 385 ss shoulders
same here
and I had the fetid chest
Do you alwasy refresh Rupture and Garrote if under 20 sec and hlf duration before using Exsan?
it beat out TB, or MA+TB?
I sim exactly the same with sub exsang and ma TB since I have higher ilvl ss
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?
Stealth abilities
cool, so within the timeframe is fine then
yes but usually you garrote first so you can rupture then garrote within subterfuge
But you should try to get Max garrotes
this is for ST so you can get elaborate planning up, and refresh pandemic timer for garrote
for multi target its just garrote 3x
@inner pulsar double checking
I had some great parses on early bosses last night man I suck at Mythrax
I also overgear heroic...but still
.Probably a stupid question, but what traits should I be rocking for Uldir? DD, Archive, SS, or stack up two of them
even with MA, exsang is still my top sim
Sims are weird, everyone's talents seem random. Since I got my gcb subterfuge tb sims highest now instead of ma
@plucky patio You should rock whatever sims highest out of your current available traits
thanks fam
tbh im happy that exsang is top for me, its a much better playstyle then tb
Agree
It looks like 8.1 PTR added a small attack power modifier to SS so maybe itll come back into meta
How is running 2x Archives and 1xSS? OR is it better with 2xSS and 1xArchive
don't double up on archive, it's not weighted too high after you get one due to RA
but sim to make sure
Unless they did something this most recent update, because the previous ones were just tooltip updates
How much do y'all think a gem slot is worth in terms of ilvl? Round about?
wqhats the difference in playstyle between exsang and tb? ive never tried it before
Depends on the slot
^^
Like 25 for wrists/back but only like 10 for legs
depends on the slot, but 80+ dps per gem at my current gear
@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
Playing SS on vectis is actually op
do you want to keep EP up for nearly 100% of TB? or maximize envenom uptime overall in the fight
thx @hybrid harness
quick question, can weapons that drop from m+ (not the cache) forge? someone just told me they cant
@dry thicket Just try to get the highest number of Envenoms you can get inside of the TB window, 2 normally, 3 with Vendetta
I did vectis yesterday and he did his 3rd down phase at literally 1 hp
@dry thicket depends on crits
ive gotten four without vendetta because of 4 point finishers
think it was during heroism tho
i mean.. thats basically my question. should i pool as much as possible without dropping bleeds before tb?
i do
I dont see why the weapons wouldnt adhere to their regular forging @abstract raven
I replaced my last SS trait... How do I play this spec now 
@spice surge aight cool, i thought the same thing but they said it was like azerite gear lol.
You dont play without ss
@serene glacier dont, if its not 200+ dps keep at least one imo
replaced 370 SS with 385 DD
@dry thicket Yes, technically you should, but it doesn't make a huge difference
riperino. i wont play without at least one because of how smooth it is
@serene glacier You just change your opener and vanish sequence, the 0ther 98% of the fight and rotation stays the same
ik... twas just a joke... it's just feel wierd to not get those sweet CP xd
@serene glacier Well, as you can see, some people don't realize how little it actually changes
ok ty. just trying to maximize my dps on vectis myth while i played sub everywhere else so far
@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
😄
vanish and vendetta will be up for 1st and 6th amalgam
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
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?
depends on talents
Same question applies to vanish I guess
All the openers are on the guide with ss/no ss and talent swaps
^ on ravenholdt
when you cloak the ruin on mythrax. do you still dmg people near you ?
Hello any ideas what can i improve with my gear? :P
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6vCgMBgeJN3QMfeYkuCLTV
370DD vs 370SS for mythic raiding?
Is MA actually better when it sims higher?
lol what
fuck got 385 with Sharpned blades.. Gotta play cancer rotation now
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
@drifting pulsar yes you do, but you can cloak before he casts it to completely nullify it
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?
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
@raven scaffold what other traits
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
I mean, you could just Env>TB with EB buff>Mut
Thoughts on 385 meticulous scheming vs 340 shrouded suffocation in m+ for a sin?
why didnt u use vanish?
ooh thats a good question
mustve forgot, we had different healers in so i was worried about needing to feint/health pot
