Hmm, I'm almost half tempted to drop a 300 DPS to just play with SS/Subt 😄

#

Blah

faint harness
#

I have 385 SS, SB, DD etc but they cant beat it

#

I guess my character really likes crit

spice surge
#

@wispy wigeon Looks pretty good overall, however it seems like on some fights you're holding onto TB for a little bit too long

#

And thus missing casts

#

On some fights you've also cast a couple of ruptures during TB debuff, which isnt optimal as it should be refreshed prior so your envenoms benefit from the increased nature damage

desert vault
#

I make that mistake quite often myself 😃

#

Can't decide whether to hold TB for 5s while I build CP to rupture or just smash TB and deal with it

spice surge
#

Use tb anyway and try to be better prepared next time 😉

strange python
#

Tb on cooldown

#

Never hold it

desert vault
#

pretty much, ya

strange python
#

You can pool before TB

desert vault
#

i forget to do that too! 😄

strange python
#

You can make a WA

desert vault
#

not always though, that i'm better about, just forget to refresh rup/gar at times

strange python
#

With a big icon and text to remind u to pool

ionic charm
#

Try playing sharpened blades and then you have to worry about each time you use a finisher if you want to wait another 2 seconds to clip the throw with EP

#

That’s my only gripe with the trait

desert vault
#

isn't SB the poison knife stack?

ionic charm
#

Yeah

desert vault
#

oh ok, oh so yeah let it max stack, but don't throw outside of EP, yeah

#

that sounds awful 😃

sick eagle
#

is it normal for haste to be simming higher than agility even tho my haste is at 24%?

ionic charm
#

And on openers without lust you need to throw as late as possible into vendetta, since 25+ stacks with 30% extra damage is better than 30 stacks without. I probably put way too much thought into something that only accounts for 6% if my damage, but it’s kinda tough attempting to pool for Tb, while making sure Ep is up when I throw my daggers, all without wasting stacks of the auto attack buff

#

@sick eagle yes

lilac lily
#

@sick eagle yep

desert vault
#

I think agi is bottom on my list right now with MA.

simple meteor
#

even tho they tried to make ilvl better cause agi. Secondary stat starts taking the ropes again 😃

wispy wigeon
#

thanks for the help guys ^

sour wasp
#

flashbacks of agonizing poison

#

385 Shrouded Suffocation :> finally a good piece from cache

fading spade
#

@sour wasp shudders

strange python
#

round harbor
#

kms

#

y u no give 385 cowl

strange python
#

catalyst

#

is good

desert vault
#

Hmm why do I feel like NOT running 3x Gutripper ... jeez

ionic charm
#

Sb is better tho for first stack

round harbor
#

lol

strange python
#

What addon shows the traits? DonkaS

ionic charm
#

So get yourself a 385 vectis helm, then you can use it 😛

desert vault
#

I'm so ready for the vectis helm today

ionic charm
#

I’m ready for another 395 corpuscle I won’t use

round harbor
#

nah i can never use iot lol

#

m+ or raid

muted jacinth
desert vault
#

alright, giving up 300 DPS to run SS/Subt/Exsang for Fetid progression I guess ... dang it!

round harbor
#

MA

#

big facts

#

if your on small adds atleastr

desert vault
#

I'm on big add, so yeah

#

or else yeah MA for sure since it sims way better

round harbor
#

just have 4 warlock on big add 4head

desert vault
#

I wish, we've only got two at the moment

round harbor
#

so its like 2warlock/rog/fdk?

polar goblet
#

is there a post to know what u guys mean by GCB, SS, DD, etc since i just came back to the game and kinda lost xD

desert vault
#

yep

strange python
#

can someone translate this i just woke up

round harbor
#

we gonna try the burn strat for fetid this week

strange python
#

how is my best gearest the lower one

muted jacinth
#

gcb is galecallers boon, trinket from shrine
dd is double dose trait
ss is shrouded suffocation trait

polar goblet
#

@muted jacinth thanks

round harbor
#

neverdance wehat do you mena

#

looks normal to m

#

e

strange python
#

it says my best is what i have on but other enchants sim higher

#

so do i swap?

lilac lily
#

the stuff above is enchants/gems

strange python
#

oh it doesnt count them as best gear?

round harbor
#
  • Equipped gear is within the error margin of the sim
ionic charm
#

Your equipped gear didn’t change, it doesn’t show the equipped with the best sockets, it just shows them in the list below

strange python
#

so basically swapping to mastery enchant is ok

#

cus i need the mastery to make it my buff on zul

round harbor
#

it doesnt matter

strange python
#

in sub

round harbor
#

its ~0 dps difference

ionic charm
#

If you’re doing zul you’re gonna want to switch off haste enchant eventually

pastel vault
#

If it's 10 dps you go with mastery because it's better in multi dotting

#

So for vectis or zul or w/e

round harbor
#

i had to edit, its 0

pastel vault
#

Also better on short fights like ghuun phase3

round harbor
#

im considering stick mastery on my offhand just for m+

#

and i dont have a third dagger of equal quality

ionic charm
#

Mastery wins for me even in ST, but I’m assuming that’s because blightborne devalues crit

strange python
#

i cant take haste enchant off my wep for zul because i cant have more crit

#

my gear is in an aids spot

ionic charm
#

You can enchant vers for zul, it’s roughly equal to crit

strange python
#

oh true, i think wep enchants are cheap by now yeah?

#

wouldnt know, still cant get mythic daggers

#

XD

cold dragon
ionic charm
#

Yeah they’re like 3-5k

light kestrel
#

What do you guys think would be better in M+. I'm running two SS and my third piece would be either Bloodrite or SoB. I was thinking SoB on fort weeks and Bloodrite on Tyrannical

ionic charm
#

@cold dragon opener seems a bit all over the place, it would be helpful to pick one of the two accepted MA openers (apl - g m r ven van tb mut env mut, or custom one that sims slightly ahead g m r, ven mut to 4+, tb van env mut env). Prepare for TB more. Not getting 2 envenoms in during TB should be considered a problem, happens fairly frequently. Other than cooldown usage being erratic and TB usage not being efficient, no other glaring errors, maybe a bit too much energy waste.

cold dragon
#

Ravenholdt guide says to TB then Mut>Vanish>Env

#

I can try harder to pool for TB, but while trying to keep EP up as much as possible, it just feels impossible. I have so much haste and I still need more @.@

ionic charm
#

The guide doesn’t necessarily have all of the most current information. Not that it’s necessarily wrong, but others have done sim research on their own to show greater success in the openers I mentioned. Regardless your opener should look pretty much the same all of the time, which it currently doesn’t. Especially like on vectis where you didn’t vendetta til like 30 seconds in. And Keeping EP up outside of Tb doesn’t matter if it prevents you from keeping EP up during TB

cold dragon
#

It was because of quick wipe pull probably. didnt have them up

#

So, I should prioritize TB windows over EP. got it

ionic charm
#

You basically don’t want to cast spells outside of TB unless you’re going to overcap energy, or lose dot uptimes. No reason to use resources when you can wait 10s and do 30% more damage

#

That’s a bit of an extreme way to look at it, but envenom should not have many casts that aren’t buffed by Tb

cold dragon
#

When looking at top logs, their EP uptime is around 70%. I have a similar ilvl, shouldn't i be able to do that too?

strange python
#

its haste dependant and pooling

ionic charm
#

100% uptime during Tb is 9 seconds. The 2 finishers you will cast over the next 16 seconds gives another 8 seconds of EP. that’s 68% right there, not counting the extra 1-3 seconds of EP that should be left over from last TB envenom

#

That is doable even with bad haste, if you play it properly

desert vault
#

100 energy is about the number to take into a TB window yeah?

ionic charm
#

About, yeah. But it’s more just about trying to have as much as possible rather than a specific number

desert vault
#

and in opener its alright to CP cap on on Vend > Mut (usually 2x mut) to 4+ CP > TB?

ionic charm
#

That’s debatable, but likely not very significant of a change either way

spice surge
#

There is no specific energy number, just make sure that your dots are ticking for the duration of TB and you are not delaying tb

desert vault
#

Ok, I was just trying to do Vend > Mut > TB cause that is typically 4 CP

#

or do you not want to Vanish > Envenom with anything less than 5 CP?

strange python
#

vanish into env at 4+cp

spice surge
#

I mean, its better with 5 but no point wasting a mutilate to get 1 cp

#

So just do it at 4

ionic charm
#

I am of the opinion that you can do whatever you “feel” better with. All of the openers I have seen mentioned for MA are fairly close together. In the “ideal” world, you won’t have 5 cp because your first mut gave you 4

cold dragon
#

Im gonna try that opener next time, thanks Artinz. I just miss the WoD days when all I had to compete with was Arcane

ionic charm
#

Just resist the urge to spam buttons and sin plays itself

#

Gl

cold dragon
#

Looking at my Zekvoz wipes makes me feel better too. 70% ep uptime and middle of the pack. I cant be doing much wrong

opaque grotto
#

Assa isn’t super sick for zekvoz so if the rest of your guild plays well then you’re probably not going to be top dps

ionic charm
#

One day we will live in a world without FDK breaths and everyone else will rejoice

desert vault
#

And I assume its ok to refresh rup/gar outside of pandemic before going into TB window?

primal gazelle
ionic charm
#

Supposedly, the ideal is to refresh if rupture is below 12s before going into Tb. Garrote can be refreshed during

#

I didn’t run the sims or even look at them, that’s just what I heard

#

Wasn’t @spice surge the one doing that or am I wrong?

primal gazelle
#

youre wasting rupture ticks if you refresh below 12 secs

desert vault
#

oh garrote can be refreshed during the TB window? Seems like Rup would be better suited to use inside TB window, less energy to cast?

#

but I guess needs the CP for rupture

ionic charm
#

I understand you’re wasting, but this is about making the best of a bad situation. The situation I’m describing is one where you’re either going to have to refresh rupture outside pandemic, refresh rupture during TB, or let rupture drop off for a few seconds. None are ideal

desert vault
#

Right, that is what I was more asking seems like the best of the three bad choices would be refreshing outside of pandemic

spice surge
#

I dont think so, i havent seen anything that specific. I did some where you refreshed before but simc showed it to be pretty equal (+-0.1%)

primal gazelle
#

i highly doubt anyone here can do the math for those scenarios to tell you which one is better, only someone that knows how to sim those specific situations will be able to answer you

spice surge
#

But refreshing before without clipping rupture pandemic is definitely a gain

ionic charm
#

I doubt I’ll change my play style for the .1%, but if people ask I’d rather tell them the “correct” one

spice surge
#

I mean there is no simc proof that even pooling is a gain

#

Or atleast i havent seen any, and i've tried editing the APL

#

Its more a case of that it intuitivly feels better

primal gazelle
#

ideally getting 3 enveoms in "feels" better than getting 2 in, but maybe the cost of delaying TB by 1-2 secs for pooling, negates any dps gain

#

who knows

ionic charm
#

You pool so you don’t have to delay it

#

And still get the same casts during

spice surge
#

You can pool a bit, but most of the time you cant pool enough for 3 casts of envenom

hollow stone
#

Leave for a week, still talking about pooling. See you guys next week

ionic charm
#

Oh yeah sure, not without a haste buff or crits. But lots of times you won’t even get 2 without it

spice surge
#

As i said though, simc doesnt pool at all

cold dragon
#

Yeah, zekvoz isnt so great for Sin compared to a demonhunter, but when an Afflic lock with 6 ilvl less than me is pushing orange parses while im in blue, something feels wrong

spice surge
#

and it doesnt seem to be a gain to make it do so

ionic charm
#

It doesn’t? Last I checked the apl had like 6 seconds of doing nothing in between each Tb, but didn’t count the time as pooling for whatever reason

#

I should check again

desert vault
#

oh I didn't know simc didn't pool, but it assumes two envenoms every TB cast?

ripe nimbus
#

Someone should make a pool emote

hardy veldt
#

Rogue = needs a lifeguard. confirmed.

ionic charm
#

The apl sample table shows like 5-8 seconds in between each TB of doing nothing that is logged as “waiting” not “pooling” for whatever reason

#

Even though it’s clearly not waiting for global

spice surge
#

Yeah and other times it does TB at 30% energy

ripe nimbus
#

That the apl waiting to pandemic rupture

desert vault
#

hmm, I hope with raid buffs and RA I can get 4 envenoms off after Vanish in opener, on dummy I'm only getting 3 before cutting it way to close in letting gar fall off

spice surge
#

Half the time it does some waiting and half the time it refreshes rupture right after tb. Seemingly though it seems to be more worth to not clip your rupture timings than to make sure you get multiple envenoms off in tb

ionic charm
#

It does seem to only refresh dots during Tb when it pooled to 100% energy beforehand. So at least that makes sense

drifting elbow
#

hardly makes sense with not being consistent in priorities with TB

#

pools but doesnt use that pooling for dmg into envenoms

twilit parcel
#

The rogue murder has a cap or something like that?

drifting elbow
#

murder? 🤔

twilit parcel
#

sorry for my englith

#

google traductor 100%

#

Rogue assa use cap? haste?

drifting elbow
#

no caps at all

twilit parcel
#

thx

cold dragon
#

I feel like rogue got over nerfed when comparing my dps to raid members, or do I just need to git gud? is it because logs are skewed towards lust on pull farm kills?

drifting elbow
#

🤔

#

there has been no changes to rogue for a while now

cold dragon
#

I dont think its lust pulls though. 373 Afflic lock in my group pushing orange like every pull

#

I know, but I didnt start mythic raiding until recently

#

so I didnt have a frame of reference

drifting elbow
#

that just means, that player is that good on his spec

#

if u are not at least getting purples constantly, u have plenty of room to improve

cold dragon
#

I feel like Im doing everything I can is all. Its such a brain dead spec at this point lol

drifting elbow
#

believe me, aff is way more brain dead

#

but spec being super easy isnt relevant on this

cold dragon
#

I just mean that, based on how simple the gameplay is, how much more can you really do to push dps

#

I do the opener, try to keep EP up and not let dots fall

drifting elbow
#

there is a lot of ways to get more dps into fight parses

visual token
#

Get ball, die, get brez, get ball again 😂

drifting elbow
#

🙃

cold dragon
#

Not gonna do that for me if Im middle of the road to begin wiht

desert vault
#

If you are doing mythic raiding ... mechanics > DPS in my opinion. I used to worry about my parses all of the time, but then came to learn that a lot of "top" parses are staged basically. Specific group setups, huge amounts of cheese, etc.

ionic charm
#

Even outside of just playing sin, there are many factors that go into parsing well. Mainly the fine balance between ignoring minor mechanics and optimizing cooldown usage based on kill times.

desert vault
#

The way I am sure to get a raid spot ... mechanics + attendance = spot on team 😃

ionic charm
#

And they all matter less than optimum performance

drifting elbow
#

u can do 100 parses even without premades, elinkar

cold dragon
#

Yeah, I agree. I just play this game for the big dick feel and rogue isnt doing it for me

spice surge
#

100 parses are gonna depend on when in the raid release cycle it is

#

But def 95+

drifting elbow
#

that planned premades needs actually exploited mechanics for it to be worth

desert vault
#

I forgot kill time being a huge factor too

#

kill time alone can prolly affect a parse ... 10+ levels or more?

drifting elbow
#

no?

twin pollen
#

after I cast envenom, should I wait till it runs it's course to recast it if I am able to recast it before it was to run out?

cold dragon
#

Kill time is a huge factor, mechanics rng, you name it, but it still remains, an afflic lock with 6 ilvl less is pushing orange like every pull

spice surge
#

Faster kill times isnt always better

ionic charm
#

It depends on the fight. That’s why I’ll cry at my purple vectis holding me back from pure orange because my guild can’t kill before 3rd intermission

drifting elbow
#

if a lot of guilds does same kill speeds too, there is no 100% improving parses

spice surge
#

Ilvl is mostly irrelevant

#

If all your gear had sockets you wouldnt gain any ilvl, but your damage would go up by like 1.5k in sims

desert vault
#

I've only been back to mythic for two weeks now, I hate every fight so far as sin and don't think its going to get any better 😃

drifting elbow
#

u mean, u hate them as melee

spice surge
#

And then you got trinkets/traits as well which also are not strictly ilvl related

desert vault
#

yeah sockets are nuts too, I remember a rogue that was 376 I think, but simmed at 18k+ because he was 2x 385 DD and sockets on 8-9 pieces .. I mean

#

@drifting elbow pretty much, yep 😃

ionic charm
#

I love hearing about juicy loot when I can’t open my cache so I can spend time fantasizing about the 4th cloak I’ll get

cold dragon
#

Holy shit, yall are right, he has 5 sockets

#

i have 1

desert vault
#

there you go @Tej that is a massive difference

#

oops 😃

ionic charm
#

Nah 400 dps isn’t a big deal at all

#

No way

#

No how

desert vault
#

is that the general rule? socket = 100 dps?

#

I have no clue, sitting on my one sweet socket piece 😐

ionic charm
#

Socket = 40 haste = ~85 dps

hardy veldt
#

Mine sim out to roughly 90 per on each socket

inland gull
#

after 8weeks i saw my first DD trait item from zandalari emissary, happy bcuu i had bad helm and its nice for pvp aswell

opaque grotto
#

I use twist the knife for pvp

#

1 SS 2 twist the knife

hardy veldt
#

I thought ttk was horrible in pvp

primal gazelle
#

im 377 and i sim 18k with 7 sockets 😛

inland gull
#

how much is it reduced?

opaque grotto
#

Nah you run MFD and it does some nice burst

primal gazelle
#

ttk is nerfed hard in pvp

hardy veldt
#

Oh gotcha

opaque grotto
#

You can env MFD env

primal gazelle
#

like 60% or something ridiculous

hardy veldt
#

That’s what I thought day

inland gull
#

i thought about the throw trait for some reason lol

#

envenom gives 60dmg per combo

opaque grotto
#

That plus system shock with MFD adds up to pretty decent burst within kidney + bomb

true rapids
#

What's the best sim for hectic add cleave just leave it at default or bump the number of boss targets?

cold dragon
#

is your character name artinz @ionic charm ? I want to look at your logs

ionic charm
#

Yup a52

cold dragon
#

Jesus christ dude, nice parses

ionic charm
#

I try

#

No 100s tho 😦

ripe nimbus
#

What happened on vectis

ionic charm
#

I got hit by an extra tick in 1st intermission so I had 6 stacks coming out of 2nd intermission. I knew it was over then

#

And then we had a healer missing last week so didn’t reclear

ripe nimbus
#

Rekted ur self

#

Hope u got 2 button sub gear for zul or gonna see that juicy blue on there lol

#

Stack mastery and the first dance trait

ionic charm
#

Yeah pretty much. Now I have to wait til Thursday for vectis. And yeah I got my 385 dance and nights vengeance

#

Since I have no first dance shoulder

#

I’m going to be very sad using 370 ML trinket over my 390 GCB on Zul

drifting elbow
#

🤔

ripe nimbus
#

I don't get zek orb cause guild put me last so I don't get to get it feelsbadman

drifting elbow
#

how is ML trinket better than GCB as long u dont use it when debuffs is happening 🤔

sturdy python
#

Why do they put you last?

ionic charm
#

The convenient thing about not joining a more serious progression guild is I get to pick when I want to do mechanics like orbs

sturdy python
#

Yeah I only raid heroic so we just fight for it lol

ripe nimbus
#

I donno why I'm last but we kill it before we even get 3 orbs

#

So it doesn't really matter

ionic charm
#

Hpal in my guild loves to steal first heroic orb for his fucking avenging crusader

pastel vault
#

You don't want first orb unless you lust and guild will res you

ionic charm
#

For heroic it’s usually dead when the second orb comes out. For mythic I took 6th, and still died too early

ripe nimbus
#

Yah it depends on ur guild on mythic we lust on 2nd orb and it's usually dead just as 3rd orb lands or alittle after lol

pastel vault
#

Dang my guild does low dmg then, think we get 6

gloomy ginkgo
#

what is the "baseline" haste I should be aiming for for M+?

pastel vault
#

Generally mastery and critical are better in multi target situation

gloomy ginkgo
#

Currently at 12% haste, 40% mastery, 22% crit. Are those decent distributions?

ripe nimbus
#

Yes

calm grail
#

What content!

#

?*

ripe nimbus
#

He already said

calm grail
#

Oh

#

Yeah those are good. More crit might make things feel smoother

#

But that's just getting better sidegrades

gloomy ginkgo
#

okay, thanks!

waxen cobalt
#

Running TB, do you still do envenom as many times as possible, or only on 4-5?

spice surge
#

Only on 4-5

waxen cobalt
#

aight, cheers

rugged jetty
#

2 first dnace 1 arch or 2 arch 1 first dance for zul?

gloomy mason
#

I have a Huge dps problem at zul. I only do about 9-10 k there as sin:/ I have 366 ilvl... can someone help me out?

ionic charm
#

@rugged jetty 2 first dance

eternal wharf
#

have a question reguarding what the guide says on rotation on keeping rupture up and refreshing at 7.2 seconds, why at 7.2s?

ionic charm
#

Pandemic allows dots you apply to add on to the previously applied dot, up to 30% of the new dot’s timer. 30% of 5cp rupture is 7.2

eternal wharf
#

had no idea that was a thing

#

so im reading u need to garrote 3 times on open, but the debuff maxes out at 24s, 18 from first, 24 from 2nd garrote and the 3rd doesnt add time

strange python
#

3 garrotes on opening ???

#

Where are u reading that

dense quest
#

you 3 gar if there is 3 target

modern smelt
#

I guess for some comps u could garrote all 3 targets... but that doesn't mean garrote the same guy 3 times.

eternal wharf
#

for ST should u garrote twice since it increases the duration?

dense quest
#

yes

cold dragon
#

Im gonna record some progression tomorrow. Something is not clicking and Im not seeing it in logs.

wild gyro
#

cool, 3x385 SS traits

#

i feel dirty

sturdy python
#

You should, you dirty little rogue you

hardy veldt
#

When would you prefer to run 3 ss though

wild gyro
#

m+

hardy veldt
#

Thought 2 ss with one uldir is better

#

Certainly would be some sick damage though

pastel vault
#

In raid yeah, for the Raid buff

hardy veldt
#

I only have 1 atm 😦

wild gyro
#

i only have 370 uldir

hardy veldt
#

Not just raid buff. 20 stacks gives a solid chunk of agil

ripe nimbus
#

It's 2 SS 1 arch for M+

wild gyro
#

yeah no arch unofrtunately

hardy veldt
#

That’s what I thought

wild gyro
#

hopefully tonight

pastel vault
#

Why arbitrarily do 2 and 1

hardy veldt
#

Not arbitrary

wild gyro
#

^

pastel vault
#

If 2 and 1 is better than 1 and 2, then 3 0 would be best

wild gyro
#

that's just so incorrect

#

how on earth did you get to that conclusion

hardy veldt
#

Lmao what?

pastel vault
#

?

hardy veldt
#

Hahah

pastel vault
#

Because you gain the same agi from 1st and 2nd archive? There's no greater benefit to 1 archive over 0 in m+

#

Only in raid

#

The first ss trait is slightly stronger than 2nd and 3rd but even 2nd ss is better than an archive

wild gyro
#

Oh I see where the confusion is

hardy veldt
#

I suppose you can sim to confirm? But afaik it’s 2 ss, 1 arch as bis

wild gyro
#

2ss and 1arch is bis

#

because 3rd stack of SS doesn't outweight the 1 arch

#

it USED to

#

just not any more

pastel vault
#

You realize I'm talking about m+right

hardy veldt
#

We do

pastel vault
#

Where you get a ton of restealths

wheat zealot
#

If equal ilvl id much rather have a 3rd ss lol

#

Fuck archive

ripe nimbus
#

????

wheat zealot
#

In m+

pastel vault
#

Ss is broken in m+ archive is not better than the 3rd ss

wheat zealot
#

In raid its good obviously

ripe nimbus
#

U realize it's gives a shit ton of main stat right? Which just makes garrote and empowered garrote hit harder same with every thing else u do?

pastel vault
#

No I have no idea what archive does

wheat zealot
#

Lmao

pastel vault
#

Typing out what it does makes it stronger than ss apparently tho

ripe nimbus
#

I'm done with u carry on sir actual waste of energy

vagrant tapir
#

ss?

#

Whos saying 2ss is bis?

#

lol

#

It isnt

#

Thats only in mythic plus

hardy veldt
#

That’s what we are discussing

wheat zealot
#

We are talking about mythic plus

ripe nimbus
#

...

wheat zealot
#

Ffs

hardy veldt
#

Lmfao

ripe nimbus
#

Welcome to the convo

hardy veldt
#

Ya boy is out

pastel vault
#

Yeah Sim a sustained fight with no restealths ofc archive will Sim higher

#

Nice

vagrant tapir
#

"Burritoj: In raid yeah, for the Raid buff"

Seemed like you were talking about in raid

wheat zealot
#

Lmao read the rest of the convo maybe

vagrant tapir
#

Depends on the key level though

hardy veldt
#

Burrito, I can’t imagine a scenario where that might come into play. Possibly on each of the bosses.

vagrant tapir
#

Im not scrolling up for half an hour to find that out lol

hardy veldt
#

If only there was a strong talent that would be useful on non restealth fights

vagrant tapir
#

And as for archive, that depends on how high the KS is

ripe nimbus
#

It was literally right next to what u quoted

vagrant tapir
#

2SS 1SOB is really good

#

Depending on how big the pulls are

hardy veldt
#

Also true. I think I remember reading that 4 sob (on average for each pull) is break even point? No source on that.

vagrant tapir
#

Yeah something like that

#

Really rough though

#

Cause it depends on how evenly they die etc

#

I cant find any reliable info on MA ability usage

#

Sim says Vanish TB Mut Envenom

#

I feel like with 2xDD, TB>Vanish>Envenom>Mut>Mut would be good

hardy veldt
#

I believe that second one is correct

ripe nimbus
#

"Feel" there's ur problem

"I cant find any reliable info on MA ability usage"

I've read some people on here delay vendetta to pair with the vanish garrotes? But if im running ESXG would i delay it that too ? Where as in the websites opener is a bit different

prime stirrup
#

i delay 2nd exsang to line up with galecallers

#

and then hold vendetta and exsang for a few seconds for GCB/Vanish to be up

#

I think at 7 min mark you lose a full exsang so if fight is longer than that you should just exsang on cd

tough whale
#

Simc APL says exang with vendetta, then on CD until theyre align at 2:20.

harsh sphinx
#

if you have boon do you wait the 15 or whatever seconds for both?

tough whale
#

From going off the APL alone no

#

you'd be pooling longer than necessary on vendetta/vanish/exang/boon

#

which is bigger than your exang+boon w/ no empower

prime stirrup
#

youre already waiting 21 seconds for vanish/vendetta i couldnt see how delaying 2nd exsang for gcb would be a loss

drifting elbow
#

hmh?

harsh sphinx
#

on the second exsang

#

do you wait the 11 or so seconds for boon before exs

drifting elbow
#

typically u dont delay trinket

vagrant tapir
#

People still running exsang in raid?

tough whale
#

Yes?

prime stirrup
#

@harsh sphinx yes i delay 2nd exsang for gcb

vagrant tapir
#

I guess if youre still stuck with SS traits

harsh sphinx
#

i'll have to tinker around with it, thx @prime stirrup

vagrant tapir
#

But if youve moved on to DD, exsang sucks

vagrant tapir

SS is a pretty shitty trait on most bosses in uldir

tough whale
#

I'd check logs

#

😃

smoky lantern
#

M+ = uldir.

vagrant tapir
#

Yeah ofc its good in m+

#

Im not talking about that though

civic palm
#

and raid, hilariously.

drifting elbow
#

SS can be ur best in raid too GWsetmyxPeepoWeird

prime stirrup
#

SS is perfectly fine for raid

vagrant tapir
#

I mean if you have nothing else yeah

drifting elbow
#

because u r ''stuck''

civic palm
#

"stuck" btw

tough whale
#

Yikes

prime stirrup
#

it might not be for you. but 1ss 370 sims higher than 1 dd 370 for me

vagrant tapir
#

But against an equal ilvl DD its worse

prime stirrup
#

exsang also simms higher with a single ss stack

vagrant tapir
#

Yeah depending on your stats

tough whale
#

man all those poor people on warcraft logs, stuck with their shrouded and top 10 parses 😦

prime stirrup
#

for me that is

vagrant tapir
#

With SS itll be better

#

lol calm down nerd

tough whale
#

? I'm calm, friend.

vagrant tapir
#

Its ok

#

Everything is going to be ok

tough whale
#

You're making a pretty bold claim about the state of an azerite trait that most people still use to preform.

drifting elbow
#

calm down laxx

vagrant tapir
#

Its a worse ST trait

#

It is

#

It just is

#

If you can choose ideal stats, DD will outperform it

#

Obviously you cant do that though

drifting elbow
#

in a perfect world sure

vagrant tapir
#

You have to play what you have

drifting elbow
#

but we r not in perfect world

prime stirrup
#

I have no problem 99 parsing with SS.. guess you arent as good with the trait

vagrant tapir
#

People have to play what theyve got

#

You're missing the point

#

Completely

tough whale
#

Where's an omegalul when you need it?

civic palm
#

We're also not in a world where there are target dummies for bosses and in some cases due to them dying too quickly, SS is better.

drifting elbow
#

99 parse with ss= missing point

harsh sphinx
#

having at least 1 SS feels better to me at least, opener and rotation wise

prime stirrup
#

I love ss

vagrant tapir
#

It makes the opener a lot smoother for sure

#

"99 parse with ss= missing point"

tough whale
#

SS synergizes well with a large number of fights found in Uldir

vagrant tapir
#

Completely missing the point

drifting elbow
#

sure buddy

vagrant tapir
#

What does a 99 parse have to do, with it being a lower DPS trait

tough whale
#

Due to the fact there are no patchwerk fights and ample opportunity to gain MORE value out of SS.

vagrant tapir
#

Not many people have super high DD traits

#

You can get 385 SS from uldir

#

Lots of people with high parses have got fetid chest

drifting elbow
#

i guess all those good parses with ss in uldir is doing it totally wrong ionAddons

vagrant tapir
#

Of course youd run it

#

Again

tough whale
#

Yeah the r1 parses with 2/3 shroudeds, poor guys

vagrant tapir
#

You guys are complete morons lol

Adios

#

We arent, you are for speaking in absolutes in a game that changes with every little secondary stat

tough whale
#

don't let the door hit you on the way out

drifting elbow
#

more like u want to box things into perfect world ST situation

tough whale
#

"lets talk about bis ST traits in a raid with no ST fights"

vagrant tapir
#

Its a better trait on ST bosses

tough whale
civic palm
#

and on critters.

vagrant tapir
#

What does that have to do, with where people are parsing

civic palm
#

Maybe.

drifting elbow
#

how many bosses in uldir are perfect ST

vagrant tapir
#

It has nothing to do with it

tough whale
#

Because SS helps you parse better because you get more value out of multi target ss?

#

big think

#

What does more, one SS garrote or TWO

In practice: ditb or ttk? Sim diff is 80 in favor of ditb (for raiding)

I'm leaning toward ttk atm

I don't get why double 385 SS sims lower than my 385 DD/DiTB for Subterfuge and exsanguinate.

harsh sphinx

the plume doesn't sim that bad for me, guess if you already have GCB

drifting elbow
#

dont take dagger in the back without standing behind the target like 90% of time

prime stirrup
#

Im pretty spoiled on trinkets with 385 dice/375 gcb so i just see everything as a down grade. though im sure other trinkets are just as valuable

timber mauve
#

we did it boys

#

no ss though, feelsbad

prime stirrup
#

18k grats

hollow stone
#

@drifting elbow that's my thought process as well... but it's a raid enviro, I "SHOULD" be able to stay behind the boss for at least 90% of the fight... idk, I think I'm just gonna run twist

drifting elbow
#

i mean there is a lot of different situations requiring u to move and mechanics

prime stirrup
#

what boss do you position in front of though?

hollow stone
#

I know but it's not often you run to the front of the boss for mechanics. at least not in uldir

drifting elbow
#

does side count as back

prime stirrup
#

i honestly cant think of a single one. maybe ghuun?

rocky notch
#

taloc if you need to stack

hollow stone
#

@prime stirrup could be things like adds on zek/vectis etc

#

but even that's behind the boss @rocky notch

#

or should be, lol

drifting elbow
#

well there is stacking periods in ghuun

prime stirrup
#

our tanks cheese the m mechanic so we dont stack on them

rocky notch
#

mythrax

prime stirrup
#

he has a aoe frontal cleave

rocky notch
#

not on mythrax

prime stirrup
#

go ahead and stand infront of him

rocky notch
#

himself...

hollow stone
#

on the add, lol

#

Anyone know if I can change something to have 80-90% butt time on the boss instead of the auto sim at 100% for ditb?

prime stirrup
#

add movement

drifting elbow
#

point being, DitB is oversimmed due to it assuming u r behind the target 100%

hollow stone
#

right, movement doesn't really solve that problem though

drifting elbow
#

if u got add shit and mechanics, that trait is not as good as sim suggest

prime stirrup
#

really it still assumes youre on boss ass?

hollow stone
#

right

drifting elbow
#

it would be weird if sims let u stand on front of sim boss tho 🙃

hollow stone
#

idk if adding movement would do the sim properly though assuming movement means moving out of melee

shy dust
#

ive gotten a 390 trinket from normal RNG is just RNG

prime stirrup
#

im trying to think of a way to get what you want but ive got nothing

#

can you adjust uptime on boss?

hollow stone
#

yeah, I couldn't find anything either :/

prime stirrup
#

that isnt accurate either.. but

#

ya

hollow stone
#

same problem; if I did that for ditb then I would have to do the same for ttk

#

I think I just go with my gut and say TTK > ditb if the sim is within 80 dps 😛

drifting elbow
#

well TTK is in ur envenom that doesnt need stacks to deal dmg

prime stirrup
#

ttk is the extra envenom dmg?

hollow stone
#

yea

#

twist

prime stirrup
#

only fight i see ditb out classing it would be zekvoz/zul add cleave

drifting elbow
#

ditb is pure ST dmg tho

hollow stone
#

maybe mother for me since I sit boss all fight

drifting elbow
#

spreading ditb to multiple targets doesnt increase dps

hollow stone
#

twist it is though, decision made, thanks for the discussion

prime stirrup
#

when i ran ditb at low ilvls i would notice the icon on the target dummies

true rapids
#

Did you get an irontide captains hat too?

prime stirrup
#

so it definitely can be spread from garrote/ruptures on new targets. but I doubt its that reliable

hollow stone
#

naw, got the chest (cephalohide jacket)

drifting elbow
#

i mean its not limited

#

but u r missing a lot of stacks

prime stirrup
#

for sure

drifting elbow
#

multiple targets getting 1 stacks compared to full stacks on ST

calm grail
#

This is my TTK vs DiTB test.

#

Bit over 80dps difference

cold dragon
#

Would pooling for TB be enough to take my green/blue parses to purple in mythic raid? If im doing everything else properly

calm grail
#

No

#

There is no way you are doing everything else properly and getting green by not pooling.

cold dragon
#

fuck

calm grail
#

I don't pay attention to pooling half the time and get purple's or orange. You got another more serious issue probably.

spice surge
#

@calm grail If you stand infront they're pretty even

hollow stone
#

Basically same results for me @calm grail. Im gonna take my own advice i gave you like 2 weeks back and ignore that 80sim dps and run twist

#

Gimme those spicy envs

ionic charm
spice surge
#

Yeah envenoms get spicy with ttk

hollow stone
#

Yee, hoping so at least :p

spice surge
#

Tried a normal with 3x ttk (2x 370, 1 385) and got like 65k crits 😄

spring iron
#

Is AMR actually pretty shit as far as checking for gear optimization?

hollow stone
#

Oh shiii. Thats like caster level crits right there

spice surge
#

Yes

prime stirrup
#

amr sucks

#

just look at its rotation

eternal sigil
#

Just got a 380 galecaller. I have 2 385 shrouded. How do I work galecallers in with exsang

prime stirrup
#

its so fucked.

spice surge
#

Hopefully ttk+dd is bis next tier so we can get them fat envenoms all the time

cold dragon
#

Oh hey artinz, thanks for the help earlier. From what you saw, besides the opener fluke on vectis, what should I focus on? I think doing mechanics + attacking is something I can work on instead of just one or the other...

spice surge
#

My recommendation for that is to stand and slap the dummy forever

#

So you get your rotation on musclememory

hollow stone
#

Yea man. Im basically running the dream now: 1x dd, 1x twist, 1x archive all with overpower

spice surge
#

3x overpower is OP 😉

hollow stone
#

Just in time for my guild to ask me to play my mage instead. Zz

prime stirrup
#

rogue is good on every fight

hollow stone
#

Not when your group is melee heavy

#

And nobody else has a good ranged alt

prime stirrup
#

were progging fetid with up to 8 melee. its the visualization of cancer

hollow stone
#

I think id sit myself if we had 8 melee for fetid

spice surge
#

Melee on mythrax 😄

#

and fetid

hollow stone
#

And vectis

#

And ghuun

ionic charm
#

its hard to tell from logs. I saw energy waste, but its not easy to tell where. Its a combination of gear, getting better at optimizing dps with mechanics, and just becoming more comfortable with the rotation. I'm not the best at analyzing logs, I usually just try to think of what I would do differently than the log, and theres not usually too many answers other than what I already told you. @cold dragon

spice surge
#

If you link em again i can have a look as well tej

cold dragon
spice surge
#

Owie, thats unlucky

cold dragon
#

Yeah, but its nbd there. Im more worried about when I have cds and im so low

prime stirrup
#

dont go into mythics thinking youre going to parse

#

a lot of it is fight length on vectis

cold dragon
#

I want to look at it that way, but then i see other's with similar ilvl parsing in orange

prime stirrup
#

group comp / overall group and strat makes a huge difference in what is even possible to parse

#

Like vectis, the highest parses are on kill times of under 5:30. best being at 5:03, my guild killed it in 7:22. no way to parse high like that

cold dragon
#

I agree with that

#

I guess an afflic warlock would benefit from longer fight

#

Him being the highest dps in my group

prime stirrup
#

low dps comps with a warrior is funny

#

you will see them really climb cause execute last a lot longer for them

nimble tartan
#

18.3k sim 👀

ionic charm
#

Only time you benefit from a longer fight is like in mother cheese when 2/3 of your raid dies going into p3 and you get 2 and a half mins to smack the boss at +100% damage

nimble tartan
#

is 19k possible 👀

prime stirrup
#

look at the big bad dog @nimble tartan ! grats

spice surge
#

It seems like you're not using TB nearly on cd, a lot of the times you use it at around 30s instead of 25 @cold dragon

ionic charm
#

Why am I always 200 dps behind you mother fucker

spice surge
#

On most fights i checked you could've gotten more tb's out if you used it on cd

cold dragon
#

@spice surge that is concrete thank you

balmy perch
#

i am crossing my fingers for some drop RNG on mother tonight

prime stirrup
#

this will be week 7. im praying for the dagger gods

cold dragon
#

@spice surge did you just look at casts or was there a fast way to check that

#

I guess filtering for TB in timeline

#

is fast

spice surge
#

Yeah casts, but you can press events instead of tables

wispy oar
#

at how many stacks of Sharpened Blades should I be using Poisoned Knife and should I line it up with Toxic Blade?

spice surge
#

Go into casts > press tb > events

cold dragon
#

Thats concise

spring iron
#

Is there something wrong with my AoE build?
2222223 <---- The build.

prime stirrup
#

@wispy oar at 30 stacks. save if vendetta is within a few seconds of you hitting 30 stacks

vale helm
#

If you're on 5Combo points and about to Envenom but TB goes off CD, do you overcap and use it first?

#

Also it feels that alot of time my TB gets off CD where if I'd cast it right then I'd have to refresh rupture during it yet if I refresh it before that I'll lose time of the debuff that won't pandemic

cold dragon
#

@spring iron Yeah, using deeper strat. MfD is better for aoe where you can get resets, otherwise vigor is what everyone takes

pastel wasp
#

i think vigor is more worth than 6CP for sin

#

even for AOE

i would have a hard time letting go of vigor

you guys know what ilvl is needed for emmisary's to drop 385's? (currently 369)

supple hearth
#

not possible afaik

#

370 is the max atm

vale helm
#

^ 370 is emmisary cap

supple hearth
#

you can currently get ~385 from raid, 2400 pvp rating, and m+ cache doing a 10+

safe matrix
#

It can still forge further than 370 though

supple hearth
#

from emissary?

I've done all the emissarys I don't think any have ever forged for me could be RNG tho

I just woke up from a nap man

no

#

?

regal estuary
#

what do we use

strange python
#

@supple hearth The reason why that helmet is 390 is because last ring increases ilvl by 5

supple hearth

yes I know tysm XD

regal estuary
#

ty

supple hearth
#

@regal estuary SS and SOB are both the ideal traits

strange python
#

SoB only if u do big pulls imo

supple hearth
#

Seliathan was saying earlier SS is the best until higher levels and then SOB will likely pull ahead

#

double dose is good for raids tho

regal estuary
#

cool tyvm i dont have much of a choice in my set up atm was just wondering the optimal set up

#

so its still pretty much 3 ss if possible?

strange python
#

yeah

#

depends on ilvl too though

#

You should always sim urself and check herodamage

regal estuary
#

thanks for the info im usually outlaw but i got a 380 boon and want to rlly give assas a good try

lone junco
#

@supple hearth lots of seli advice also has to be scaled w/r/t pack size. scent really is good at 10 mobs. but we never ever pull 10 mobs.

#

yadda yadda

supple hearth
#

yeah in which a triple garrote empowered by ss would be very strong. thats what he was implying

lone junco
#

im stuck with 3ss with 4t20 4t40. it is so much stronger than any other option.

was that my only problem?

that was something i cant control the bloodlust

no one called it till the end

spice surge
#

You didnt use tb on cd either

#

You missed out on a cast

eternal wharf
#

one cast?

spice surge
#

and as you said, bl used incorrectly

#

And no second potion

#

Yes, you used tb on average every 30 seconds instead of 25, meaning if you used it better you could've gotten another one in during the fight

eternal wharf
#

should i be able to pull 16k+ on every boss in uldir

#

this sim says 14k

#

but somehow i pulled 16k i dont understand

#

and some bosses i do shit on

spice surge
#

Fetid takes 50% increased damage under 50%

eternal wharf
#

i see, lets say a dps sim like raidbots says i should pull 14k, i should be able to pull that on a target dummy every time right

safe matrix
#

probably not

#

because i assume you had raid buffs on when you simmed

Short answer is no... i believe default patchwork sims assumes you have all raid buffs and lust and max reoriginstion stacks if u are running a raid azerite piece.. you won't have those against a training dummy

safe matrix
#

and you typically wont have every buff when you do a training dummy

#

just sim without buffs

eternal wharf
#

well i believe in the sim i checked off every raid buff flask and food

#

so if it says i should get that dps, i should be able to pull it on dummy

safe matrix
#

I mean you should get around that range then yeah

#

but are you sure you simmed with everything off?

eager crystal
#

You are running 1 gutripper trait.. the training dummy never hits 30% hp so you never get the extra proc on that which the sim probably took into account

eternal wharf
#

but ill see all feedback

strange python
#

Why is that sub on ur log 16k dps

#

😐

eternal wharf
#

idk man im sure u can look at his logs and figure out why right

#

im not worried about him

plain spruce
#

blindside is simming higher then EP for me, i just spam that instead of mut at 30% right

ionic charm
plain spruce
#

holy your trinkets

ionic charm
#

the corpuscle actually isnt that amazing, only like 30 above my dice. But yeah rngesus has blessed me several times. Just not in my mythic cache

plain spruce
#

same ilvl as you but 1.3k lower

ionic charm
#

azerite is a cruel mistress

#

wait blindside actually sims high for you?

#

i didnt even think it was comparable

balmy perch
#

is crimson tempest worth using in zek'voz during the add phase in mythic?

wide horizon
#

im an orc rogue, is there any downside to macroing vendetta / orc racial in hindsight that im not seeing?

buoyant ember
#

Isnt orc racial 3 min cd?

ionic charm
#

@balmy perch if you have trouble killing small adds, yes. But consider outlaw if you have the gear to play it

balmy perch
#

ya i dont have the gear to play it without downgrading to 240 gear

wide horizon
#

its 2m mins

balmy perch
#

340* azerite gear

buoyant ember
#

Then it makes sense to use in conjunction with vendetta

balmy perch
#

I am keeping up with our combat rogue on add dmg with crimson tempest but i feel like it will hurt in the longrun not having poson vile

ionic charm
#

Theres no reason not to macro racial to vendetta. I do it with berserking even tho its 3 mins, just lines up with 1st and 3rd vendetta (i also use it on a separate bind)

#

@balmy perch are small adds the issue?

#

or more specifically, what is your guild's current issue?

#

that changes what you want to run

buoyant ember
#

@ionic charm artinwhats the script you use for it to activate vendetta even if racial is on cd?

ionic charm
#

/cast Berserking(Racial)

#

/cast vendetta

#

it will work even if berserking is on cd

wide horizon
#

okay thanks, just got my rogue to 120 and there was a case with another class where it did matter but just wanted to make sure

ionic charm
#

I still have my thumb ring in the macro lul

#

@wide horizon if you end up playing sub ever, do not macro racial to shadow blades

wide horizon
#

yeah thats what it was

balmy perch
#

@ionic charm it seems like the adds may be the issue. we arent getting all 3 big ads down before he does the surging darkness

wide horizon
#

bc i was interested in sub originally but playing ass for now

#

thanks for the advice

balmy perch
#

i know CT doesnt do anything for the big adds

#

but it helps with the small ones

ionic charm
#

@balmy perch are all small adds dead by the time the first big add is dead?

balmy perch
#

no

ionic charm
#

then go ct

#

if you guys start making past that phase consistently, and you find that you are wiping in p3 due to lack of dps (i.e. too many people are dead from mc because you should have already killed it), maybe consider pb, but more than likely your group will need more than just pb damage to make up for it

balmy perch
#

ya we havent made it to P2 yet

#

i think most our deaths are duing the surging darkness eye beam combo

#

but we have only tried him like 25-30 times so far

ionic charm
#

on 2nd adds?

#

its the first hurdle yeah

balmy perch
#

righbt after the first adds

ionic charm
#

oh

plain spruce
#

@ionic charm its 50dps higher for me, figured it would be an excuse to use it

balmy perch
#

half the time we die during the second adds

ionic charm
#

@plain spruce just checked, 400 lower for myself lol but to each their own

plain spruce
#

any more buttons are good buttons

ionic charm
#

@balmy perch Likely, your group has other issues than just your usage of ct or pb. But go ct if you feel like you need damage on little adds, go pb if you feel like the damage is needed on big adds and boss (keep in mind, big add damage might be looking slow if people have to spend too much time on small adds)

#

just try to feel it out, I would , but I cant be in your raid

balmy perch
#

cool will do

ionic charm
#

In a "best" case scenario, CT does more damage. But you don't want that scenario to appear

balmy perch
#

thanks

ionic charm
#

no problem

balmy perch
#

we have 4 dps below the warrior tank on add dmg X_X

normal flint
#

if you have a galecallers do you delay exsang for it?

halcyon kayak
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
ionic charm
#

you want to delay your 3rd galecallers usage like 20 seconds, so it lines up with 2nd vanish and vendetta, and 4th exsang

#

it all happens at like 2:15-2:20 into the pull

normal flint
#

so use exsang on cd? until the 4th one?

ionic charm
#

yeah

normal flint
#

ah ok

#

thanks

ionic charm
#

get your 9th array stack for 18.15

balmy perch
#

woo made it to P2

eternal wharf
#

in rogue opener you garrote rup garrote TB/vendetta then vanish garrote garrote, when vendetta is up should I be waiting for vanish to come off CD as well?

round harbor
#

crit/mastery for me top twso stats single target lol

ionic charm
#

crit is 2.38 for me with haste at 2.08

#

array you son of a bitch

round harbor
#

i even have 1600haste outside of raid lmao

balmy perch
#

i dont get how this DH is losing to half the raid on dps on adds

fierce knoll
#

quick question and someone may not know but why would my WA memory usage climb and then drop and then climb again? is one of my auras causing it?

eternal wharf
#

to many auras get a better computer

drifting elbow
#

prolly cuz u r using some addon that constantly does something

#

unless there is problems that causes gaming worse, i wouldnt mind it

arctic crow
#

Without SS and using exsang

#

doesnt make sense to me to use vanish before exsang

#

wouldnt u want the full second garrote

novel rivet
#

Does anyone know where herod damage gets its sims for M+. since raidbots and simc botho nly have the hectic add cleave option, I wanted to know if there are diminishing returns on Shourded Suffocation

safe matrix
#

its a custom apl

novel rivet
#

Thank you

drifting elbow
#

diminishing returns on SS?

#

is that even legit way to look at it

arctic crow
#

?

drifting elbow
#

i mean, numbers gained from SS trait stays same

vocal harbor
#

i can't get my assa to sim within 500dps of my outlaw, even though they're the same ilvl

#

probably the weapons but could it also be the trinkets?

civic palm
#

and current stats. Though OTL and SIN are similar so it's probably not that.

eternal wharf
#

how long has Pandemic been in for rogues? was it here for legion?

civic palm
#

Yep.

eternal wharf
#

i know its been a warlock thing for awhile

#

but i had no idea it was for rog

vocal harbor
#

yeah current stats probably has a lot to do with it, i'm super starved for haste apparently

#

the weight is 2.04, i've never seen a stat weight exceed 2.0

eternal wharf
#

would u guys say assassin rotation is more complicated than its ever been?

civic palm
#

NO

#

no as well

opal minnow
#

no

eternal wharf
#

when was Pandemic added to rogue bleeds?

civic palm
#

A long while ago.

eternal wharf
#

bfa?

civic palm
#

LONG

eternal wharf
#

er

civic palm
#

WAHILE

#

AGO

eternal wharf
#

wod

#

my bad

#

i meant wod

civic palm
#

mmm

eternal wharf
#

i cant remember the last time i dedicated time to pve, i think it was cata firelands/deathwing, but sub was the spec to play and i dont think Pandemic was a thing at the time for rogues

steep obsidian
#

i played all 3 specs in dragonsoul they were all fine

#

them were the days

hollow robin
#

Whats the best way to sim for +10's? Not sure what talents to run for this week

civic palm
#

@vocal harbor weights can go higher as well, haste will probably just keep increasing until you get a lot more

eternal wharf
#

lazer matrix or archive, with 2x shroud 6 stacks of array

#

i could stack 1x lazer, 1x archive 1x SS but i believe 2xSS is a must

civic palm
#

Fortified is this week so CT is a must. @hollow robin

steep obsidian
#

its not really if you only do small pulls its marginal

eternal wharf
#

i am mainly talking about raiding not m+

steep obsidian
#

or arent pushing really high keys

#

my mastery is almst as high as haste now in my sims tempted to just gem mastery for dungeons

#

but that would swap my array ibet

#

lol

eternal wharf
#

what is CT?

#

thanks for all the advice/help

hollow robin
#

So if im running CT and I have 2x SS traits, do I run Exang as well?

#

@civic palm

#

Sorry for questions, normally an outlaw rogue. Figured Id try it for this week

#

and guides are unclear

steep obsidian
#

xsang is useful for trash in dungeons because it still works when you swap off a target

#

if you have 2 ss its probably the same or higher for st in sims but sim it yourself

vocal harbor
#

@civic palm what's your crit rating?

#

i thought i had a lot of haste but, i primarily play outlaw and it's become one of my lowest weights so i've been minmaxing around it

#

only at 19% haste atm, but 26% crit

#

@eternal wharf CT is crimson tempest, level 100 talent

eternal wharf
#

ah no shit thx for the help man kinda ignorant on abbreviations

lone junco
#

haste back on top

civic palm
fervent finch

!sim

ancient mistBOT
tepid orchid
primal gazelle
#

sim it dude

drifting elbow
#

is that dagger really ur best trait on that azerite?

#

TTK trait in that azerite is practically better

primal gazelle
safe matrix
#

thats below sim error

woeful sentinel
#

what is best spec for mythic+ rn?

#

is sub any good or no

coarse knot
#

Depends on what you want to play

#

Don’t think there’s really a best spec pretty sure there all viable @woeful sentinel

safe matrix
#

its been answered in literally every other spec channel

civic palm
icy hare
#

is scent of blood better than shrouded suffocation in aoe?

supple hearth
#

!warn @woeful sentinel don't spam in the channels.

drifting elbow
#

its decent trait wolf

civic palm
#

Scent is much better than Shroud when the groups are ~5 and live for a long time.

drifting elbow
#

...does it

civic palm
#

Even better when Garrote is no longer able to be applied in empowerment windows.

drifting elbow
#

SS is pretty darn competitive even 1min 5 target

civic palm
#

Normal Garrote does near the same damage as Rupture and doesn't give you AGI like Scent would, a mix of the two is 👌

coarse knot
#

Kinda all depends on how many mobs you pull also

#

And also like he said how long they live

#

Like a fort week it’s good

#

None fort maybe not so much

#

Unless your pushing crazy high keys

civic palm
#

or very high keys

#

yeah

drifting elbow
#

i mean 1min is really long time

coarse knot
#

Other then that I personally don’t run it

#

It is

civic palm
#

Scent is also not punishing if your tank is a potato...

#

or if extra adds are pulled.

drifting elbow
#

how is SS punishing u more

coarse knot
#

Cause once it runs out

#

It’s basically a dead trait

drifting elbow
#

its pretty much set on 3 target garroting at start

civic palm
#

When you lack the ability to restealth SS loses near all its' value, and when extras are pulled you can just Rupture them to get over your 35NRG/second and never cast Garrote

#

You would reapply Garrote as targets die to make sure you are over your NRG quota, empowered or not (probably not).

drifting elbow
#

well its not as if u r without vanish

civic palm
#

Every 2min, sure.

#

Shadowmeld if you have that as well.

#

Gives some SS benefit as well.

coarse knot
#

Not gonna have vanish ever you’ll

#

Pull

icy hare
#

its just that i hear SS being hyped up a ton, but sims are pointing me more towards scent on add cleave, and even preferring double dose on add cleave

drifting elbow
#

if u got that shit tank that fail on every pull, idk why u run with that
