Am I understanding EP right? While in TB I want highest uptime possible while still "clipping"/squeezing in a Enven right at the end of of its time? all while not over capping resources ofc.
Should I be refreshing garrote and rupture early to use Exsang on CD or should I wait til my dots are in pandemic range, refresh, then exang (But have it off CD for a while? 😃

this week are u taking CT or PB ? With Fortify I would say CT but uh
I hate that spell
Pb is good when stuff is stacked and stays put. A large Ct kite can sustain well over 30k dps forever.
y i guess for higher keys it's the best
I use it in any key tbh. G g g Ct FOK FOK r. GC Exang is a smooth rotation.
i have started using CT in dungeons permanently except for kings rest
do more overall damage and thats what's most important
Should I enchant weapon with mastery for m+? I don't care much about raids
if you want to optimize it i would say go for the 2 stats that sims highest (usually crit and mast)
Any sim setting you use to figure out your stats for m+? And fight length?
@mossy adder never delay exsanguinate, ever
Get bleeds to max pandemic as its coming off cd
so even if there are like 10 sec on my dots i should refresh them very early so i can Exang on CD? 😃
Yessir
I mean. Dont exang prior to gcb or bloodlust if you expect to use them soon.
Well yeah, thats just common sense imo lol
I guess on cd to me means when it lights up. Which is how I play tb usually.
Agi pot or bursting on St bosses?
agi always
If theres gonna be a vuln phase or lust soon you may want to save exsang @mossy adder
So i shouldnt say NEVER delay it
ive always been letting my dots run off before i use it up until now so that should be a big improvement
for some reason there is no exsangf tips in the guide pinned.... only TB
which is strange
Only time you want to let your bleeds completely fall off is empowered bleeds
TB is the current default build, makes sense to me
not always
Yeah, but exsang is currently the default m+ build
So i dont see why its not covered
Its not like its a talent like slice and dice thats literally NEVER viable
On the subject, the icy veins guide mentions it as an option, but doesn't cover how to use it
Currently I'm just running poison bomb as I've not seen anything on proper use of exsanguinate
Oh am I thinking the wrong talent row? Oops, still new to rogue
They also mention crimson tempest but not how to use
Poison bomb is in the row with hidden blades and crimson tempest. Were you talking about TB or crimson tempest?
Use at 3+ targets, refresh at 2s or under
To be quite frank, not sure how either is to be used
I forget the number of targets where it becomes more damage to spam Ct than to envenom
Hmm, so miiight give up a couple hundred DPS and swap to exsang/SS ... so with GCB and Exsang, they aren't going to line up right? Best to wait on Exsang to pair with GCB like 1:1 or just cast the exsang without GCB and pair them when you can outside of vanish/vend windows
3rd GCB is held ~15s (vendetta held too) to line up with 4th exsang and 2nd vanish
ok, so 2nd GCB won't be paired with Exsang? Just smash both on CD basically?
Yeah, it won’t lineup every other, you can’t wait long enough for that to happen without messing up vendetta
I was looking at a Taloc log and it was showing first Exsang @ 7s and second (with GCB again) @ 71s
but I guess on that fight you've got elevator so no reason not to wait and stack them together since you are stuck on elevator for a while and both will be back up by that time
It’s just because of the push, yeah. I’m talking in a vacuum, each fight is different. Having good dps is just as much about adapting your rotation to the fight as it is about knowing how to hit a target dummy.
I've just yet to play with Exsang really, always been behind on sims but feeling its best for a lot of mythic prog fights like Fetid .. but I guess small add isn't terrible for MA though
I dunno
My first kill of fetid was top 10 with TB, you can play what you want. Exsang and TB are insanely close in almost every situation, preferred playstyle makes a larger difference imo
I assume there is a bit more pooling with TB vs Exsang?
hi guys. Im beginning to play assa Exsanguinate and i wanted to know if i should always time Exsanguinate and Galecaller's Boon ?
Yeah but it’s really not that big of a deal. Takes a little bit to get used to, but after a few pulls you start to realize, why would I cast envenom here when I can wait 5s, not waste any energy, and increase its damage by 30%
thanks @ionic charm 😉
@gentle mist use GCB before exsanguinate, exsang snapshots your current haste for the duration of the empowered dots. 2nd GCB should be used on CD (2nd and 3rd exsang on cd as well), but then around 2 mins it changes. Hold your 3rd GCB ~15s to line up with 4th exsang and 2nd vendetta/vanish
And my precious response wasn’t directed at you, ignore that
That was for Tb usage
ok thanks
I always feel like I'm bad for not using Exsang cause my GCB is so high ilvl, but TB still sims a bit better and I just like TB better in general
Only thing my 390 GCB did for me talent wise was make fuge sim higher than MA
Still likes Tb better
I've got a 395 GCB and MA is still best for me, just cause my trash azerite gear
need a 385 helm from Vectis so I can do DD+SS
Right now DD+Twist with MA is best sim for me
cause twist is 385 and other stuff is 370 archive
Interesting. I thought the haste proc was what made subterfuge better, but I guess not. I have blightborne and DD, and blightborne sims higher somehow, even running MA (at same ilvl). Herodamage sims aren’t 100% accurate for each individual, but the traits seem extra fucky to me
SoB is good for really high keys imo, for like 10-12 not as much
I just didn't like it as much was all, SoB that is
Big thing I've noticed is how much having good secondary stats matter.
Azerite traits*
Sub/Exsang 0.5% better than Sub/TB, but 300+ behind MA/TB
might just give up and go back to Subt+Exsang/TB or just hope for a 385 SS tomorrow 😃
I like dd. Tb for raid. Ezpz heavy pressure.
I doub't I'll drop the DD I got since its 385, just wouldn't mind running DD/SS/Archive if I can find it
I just feel like my particular GCB I almost HAVE to run Exsang on some level 😃
It is guilt-tripping me into running it
DD and ss don’t really go together. DD is better with MA, SS requires fuge. And galecallers still helps your TB damage, just does nothing for MA
Gcb is still a great trinket for tb
that's true, forgot it will help TB a bit as well
But 3ss m+ is still amazing.
One day maybe I'll get to swap to scent for the 6-8 stacks. But for now it is SS.
yeah I tried SS+SoB and it was not even close to SS+SS honestly. Though I don't run 14+ stuff, just 10-12s
340 ss beating out 385 of other good traits in multi target sims even without vanish is just stupid. But it’s true
Much to my dismay
I still like 2xSS and 1x Archive in M+ for me its either 345 SS or 375 Archive and I just like extra agility and two SS is strong enough for me
I'm sure the math on the 3x SS is better
https://i.imgur.com/oGxoooj.png lol my friend heal got this
me and my 375 harlan dices;;;
titanforged + socket
#mad
A friend just loot a 390 socket GCB on his alt tank in front of me
How important is getting 3 SS over ilvl for M+? I am missing SS helm but have 385 scent of blood. Would I want to use 340 SS if I got it over the 385 SoB?
"friend"
Hâte? Is that haste?
@jolly comet 385 SoB is very good for m+, although it’ll depend from key to key how good it is. 3 ss isn’t necessary, but if you didn’t have any, I’d take the 340ss for sure.
@ionic charm ok thanks
I’m only 1.4k though so not an expert on that
is there a particular sim fight style that i should use for general trash in M+. ihave been using hectic add cleave for fort weeks with "one boss"
also 2 min fight time
Hectic sims are useless for sin. A lot of people like sims of 3-6 patchwerk targets for 20-40s, depending on what key they are running
Ss seems to only sim higher than other traits in like 20-40 sec Sims. But it's still basically the best.
ahh ok
I use 20 and 40 second 3+ target patchwork
It isn't perfect since normal apl just uses all your cooldown, which obviously aren't used every pull
You can copy the APL from the generic sims, and remove vanish usage if you feel so inclined. I usually do for m+ sims
With MA you should always be able to get to get 2x Envenoms off inside 3s MA window after Vanish?
True, just depends on crit chance on first Mut ...
MA actually fucking sucks if you do the math. If your base crit chance is 20%, with MA buff you only have a 49% chance to get a 4 combo pt mut
Having said that, it will likely perform better on average if it sims higher, but each individual pull has a lot of variance
yeah that is true, it can just be all over the place
when you get those 50k+ envenoms back to back life it fantastic
when they are 25k you cry
Try doing mythic Zul, either 130k dps over first 20 seconds or 50k from crits or your other dps going mongo on the adds
Weird, looking at an MA log and the guy is using Vanish > TB instead of Vanish > Envenom ...
APL does Vanish > Tb > mut > env afaik
You can do either, this was a long discussion a few days ago
Oh yeah yeah, I remember now 😃
Good news boys
I've been assigned on mythrax to go to the far add and fuck him up during the intermission instead of having to Dodge beams
@proper zealot how did you get a 390 chest??
last trait
ah
You guys all these damn sockets ...
It's a Level 32 Heart of Azeroth, yeah.
is it viable to have 2 or even 3 ss traits?
I don't grind AP, though. @round harbor
I just do the AP world quests, and that's like an hour of playing each day. I don't usually touch Island Expeditions and I don't really do a lot of Mythic+ keystones, either, not that they're a good source of AP.
It's just AP world quests with War Mode enabled.
Ye to me that's grinding lol
Different folks different strokes but yeah
World quests are the worst kind of content for me to do
I guess, but I don't consider it grinding. I play for literally like an hour each day. 😄
Feels pretty darn casual to me.
Just do the opposite faction ap wq
Theyre usually the blue ap thing and takes 15 mins
well considering theres no benefit to ap world quests except the ap..
Id rather be doing keys
For mythic+ is it worth going 2x use trinket? I have a use pvp trinket 365 and galecallers 370.
I don't have a group to do keys with really and I don't really enjoy doing them in PuGs so much. I take care of my weekly +10 at the least and usually leave it at that.
Even with a 1k Raider.io score (which I know isn't very high anymore) PuGs still seem to go relatively poorly.
are you looking for one to track the buff from it and when you are not standing in it? https://wago.io/BJ9g3ES_7
or one to track the trinket cooldown? https://wago.io/S1zdDR4dX maybe?Not a lot of info in the description
i couldn't find one with both aspects, and I cant test them at work :/
I am confused rn,sims are saying Ring A but Stat Weights say Ring B
does ring a have haste and ring b have less or no haste?
probably, i would use A but dont get rid of B since you could get that haste breakpoint in one other piece of gear tomorrow
or the next day
ok ty
i just learned how to make one that tracked when it was on cd
good enough
thanks anyway 😃
Yeah, it just seems "weird" using Subterfuge without having any Shrouded Suffocation powers.
MA just strikes me as a weak talent overall, much of that is just perception but that I think isn't irrelevant
not entirely at least
On ST, with TB do u wait to get like 120 energy , and then go full rotation ? Or it doesnt matter ?
I finally got a galecallers boon at 370 (with gemslot) after running that shitty dungeon so many times, and that dungeon sucks under just about every affix lol
@peak harbor use on cooldown
the reason is, you want to use it as many times as possible during the fight
@peak harbor ideally you are looking to use TB with lots of energy, but not if you are delaying TB. Use TB on cd, limit your energy usage when TB is not active. You should basically just be refreshing rupture outside of TB, spare envenoms can likely be held until Tb is up
Do you hold exang till galecallers is up?
The opposite. 2nd galecallers won’t align, but 3rd is held ~15s to lineup with 2nd vendetta/vanish and 4th exsang
Vendetta is held for the same
Yes
Ok

Are all dots dynamic these days when it comes to applying a buff after a dot? Like agi potion or vendetta for example
For Rogues, yes.
Exsanguinate is the only thing that snapshots from what I have gathered? IDK if only haste or everything
before haste scaled tick rates were 2sec. then 1sec with exang. so Now, they are between 1.4 and 1.8 seconds, so exang is an awkward number. so apparently it does the math prior, so it can establish tick counts. Good thing for us, esp when using things like GCB.
Only haste
also partial ticks still exist and are effectively added to the ending tick.
While the DMG is a fraction of the normal ticking damage it's visible in the combat log and occurs at the same time as the final tick or within .25 seconds after, making it the strongest tick.
hey guys is shrouded suffocation still good for m+?
one of the best
Actually, THE best
Mad gains there Noobe
big difference
seen folk using toxic blade even though they use shrouded on taloc, is there any reason for this?
there are a very few isntances when people use TB and SS. but its an option.
there are going to be a handful of trait/spec/gear options within 0.5% of your best.
alright cheers
TB and exsang dps difference is most of time practically same dps
Guys so i joined a new guild that has more progress than my previous one(5/8) and they took me as a trial to mythic and i got really low parses(for being very safe so i dont f' up the mechanics) i already had 90+ on taloc mother and zek'voz but i need better ones on vectis and fetid, any tips for them?
It was my first time on those 2
@glacial steppe they all cross both rooms in 1-2 minutes, aoe adds, and burn mother in 3rd room
mass cross with darkness + healing cooldowns
@subtle tundra fetid is hard to get a good log on mythic unless you dont have to waste cd's and you are on the big add
vectis i would just say is about making the most of your cd's
hey guys, forgive my poor english. Any tips on Vectis pull ? like, should i keep focus adds (raid dsnt have problem with adds) or i just pop my normal opener on vectis then vanish+garrot add > garrot vectis and continue to vectis ? What is the best pull for you on this boss ?
If your raid isn't having trouble killing adds, then focusing boss, and rupturing adds for energy is your best plan. Using vanish like you mentioned is how I did it as well. If you are talking about mythic, the most significant part is not messing up during the intermissions, so you don't gain extra stacks of the debuff. Because if you get 6 stacks before 3rd intermission, your parse is fucked.
yeah talking for mithyc vectis sorry, but why fucked up with 6 stacks ? i know i have to spread on the cast when im at 6 but obv fucked ?
No, using finishers at 4 cp is fine, PK is too high of an energy cost @marsh bloom
any idea why they do it in pvp?
@cinder sparrow It depends on how much melee your raid has, but for the most part, getting 6 stacks will just lead to you having to spend too much time off the boss, and will ruin your damage. Seems to be far more significant than anything else, looking at logs
@marsh bloom system shock requires 5 cp
if they arent using system shock when they do it, i have no idea
perhaps for the 100% poison reapplication if they are going to switch targets or need to keep up poisons for the wound poison effect
@marsh bloom for system shock. U don't need to if ur not running ss
Do any of you play both sub and sin in m+, been thinking of giving sub a try in m+ but it seems theres a good split with what people play inside m+, does it just depend on the dungeon/comp?
I play outlaw
I feel like sub would be fine
just see your damage by the end of the dungeon
if you forget to pool energy before TB comes off cd, should it be used instantly regardless?
@wary reef Sub feeds off the trash pulls, carried into bosses. Not my style but it was cool to see a sub rogue pumping 45k st on a boss with shitty trash
@wary reef its dependent on dungeon, and how coordinated your group is. If you're in a pug with mongos that will aoe tiny adds that sub wants to be kept up for cp, its not effective
I prefer SS Ct cause there are very few CDs necessary to do big damage.
agreed
I tend to just play with friends, we want to push though, were just not as reliable as we wish we could be, I tend to avoid pugs if I can. Our groups consists of fire mage, balance druid, disc priest and brewmaster. Noticed this week with bursting that because were all dot classes, even though we want to stop stacks from ticking higher, our dots just blow random enemies anyways, so I was thinking of going sub for that or just to move away from all of us being a dot spec
No as in were at high stacks already and we want to avoid more for healing reasons. Just our group
We dont intend to stagger them
Fire mage isn't great for the sub cheese. Bursting issues really are less of a spec thing and more of a coordination thing
what kind of stack amount u guys got anyway
As in how high we get before we say let it drop? Usually 5-6
that ticks longer than 6seconds?
also, assassin being ''dot spec'' is pretty irrelevant in this case
u can literally just target one or 2 guys to nuke
instead of all
New to rogue and doing the x4 weekly in freehold. where would I shroud to skip to last boss?
the packs before bridge
Like where youd usually jump over?
Oh ok
it has the most mobs to skip
after second bridge has like 8 mobs or 2 mobs if u got warlock gateway to skip
Ok so we can just go straight to the last boss doing that? dont need to kill any?
just few mobs and last boss
should be 5 min runs if no ninjapulling
even 300ilvl geared can run those pretty fast 
Okay I ran into an enforcer that was blocking the bridge lol
Can you actually get by him?
yes
ppl just needs to choose correct spot
that is not too close
i've succeeded sneaking past him like 8 times out of 10 
Dont you do 4 m+ a week anyways?
it takes way longer time than completing 4 FH last boss runs
But if you do 4 m+ anyways, it takes longer time overall to do 4 FH last boss runs
Ye?
Yeah, then i understand
im not farming that much m+ after being geared good
Is there a video/resource that shows common m+ skips? Always start sweating when I'm asked to do a shroud skip that I havent done before
No raider io score for these 0s
Watch muh stream a lot hamster
Then you see all the skips
Gonna do keys from 12-19 tomorrow
advertising ?
Never
xD
Helping a fellow rogue out
ahahaha
I can shroud but if I need to distract+sap I don't know which mobs
is my main issue
i do it and it works for me
i dont really see harm in telling u to check out m+ (specific spec) streams
Lmao I did have that happen once
Shrouded in FH, tank never stealthed
pulled everything and I was told to distract
???
with sap its only needed if hou are going to run over the mob really
Underrot shroud you must sap
so I shouldnt be watching fortnite streams
And me
no
😦
2k or above bro
@young socket should just about always wait for quaking to go off before shrouding in my experience, especially something as tight as the underrot bridge
Give me 2 days
rip
I was 1.8k 3 weeks ago
i mean after this week
but i dont do m+ unless friends ask
Same, and no friends, so rather just go vacation
went on vacation one week
Im not in enhnace discord anymore
and they left me behind
Enhance*
we have an enchane in the guild
he is the meme of the guild
and he got told to go enhance
I was main enhance up until after zul
anyway this is giga offtopic
Then i switched rogue
then you never looked back
Nope
Yeah
oh this mob got pulled through the floor NICE
Oh spawn of ghunn went underground and infested and pulled a bunch of mobs below us
Oh, boss reset because talked walked on top of a rock (this happened)
Tank*
Wasnt even a big rock
its so fucking dumb
Beta for Azeroth. Cant expect them to fix these bugs.
indeed
#off-topic > _>
hey, what do you guys prefere as a secondary azerite trait, heed my call, or overwelming power?
i should also add, for pvp not pve!
would say heed
:S
cause you get hit a fuck tone in pvp
Overpower is still better
It doesnt get used up every singletime you take dmg, it has some sort of icd
Or something
well
that makes sense
but yeah overpower is just so good
so if thats not a factor then go with that
hmm, ive just gotten a chest peice with laser matrix, the 2ndary choices are heed, and overwealming
just trying to decide the best choice, my other peices have 1 overwelming and 1 heed aswell.
so itl either be 2x overwelming and 1 heed, or the oppersate
Prob power
power is just really fucking good
gottchya, thanks
i cant use it anyway untill i can find a diffrent piece other then chest with shrouded suffoate, cos i dont wanna get rid of that
yeah
but when i do i shall use it thanks lads
how do yall feel about archive in M+?
Good but it isnt SS
i mean, should i run 1x arhive and 2x SS OR 1x Swirling Sand and 2x SS like my sim is telling me to
Whats the ilvls of sands and archive
375 on both
i could def use my crit in my M+ build, but not sure if I need it more than the agi from archive :/
its not about what i like. its always all about DPS though 😃
remember that sim start with 0 archive stacks
when in m+ you most of time start with more than 15+ stacks
am i dumb or is it not possible to macro trinkets with skills anymore
Depends if they are on gcd or not
The abilities that is
You can still do it if they are
oh, figured it out. was trying to have it be shift: vendetta, otherwise trinket. just had to add [nomod]
Is it weird to equip 2 active trinkets??
Kind of clunky, yeah.
so i should keep harlans
Using one puts the other on a 20-second CD before you can use it.
and choose between dooms and gale
Active trinkets 😷
So it's awkward, as you can't use them both at the same time.
Lock Harlan's Load Dice and sim between your Galecaller's Boon and Doom's Wake, I guess.
any idea why my 3t 40s sims keeping telling me to equip all my haste gear, when my haste is already 19%....i thought it would push all my crit/mastery for aoe
Use more targets.
Like six, rather than three.
6-target patchwerk, 40 seconds, no buffs.
@molten moon Things like CT/Exsang gain exponentially more value as you add more targets. Assuming you're simming for M+, you want to be pulling bigger packs to get more value out of CT
the issue is, our M+ group is running 12/13s at the moment with a prot warrior. He can't take 5+ targets so we go slower. I feel like I'm losing DPS running things like CT and Scent of Blood when I know our run will consist of 3t packs
especially on a fortified week
Yeah in that scenario, I would recommend TB/PB. A lot of the value you get out of crit in AoE is coming from the combo point generation from FoK, which generates a combo point each time it crits. So lets take your M+ scenario for example. You pull packs of 3 and are simply not able to generate enough combo points for efficient finishers
so i guess it makes sense its pushing me into haste more than crit/mastery
Yeah, using CT in your position is just going to leave you energy starved without combo points
I had the same questions when I was learning rogue. I couldn't figure out why CT was so bad when everyone else said it was great. Turns out we just weren't pulling enough haha
Would you still recommend TB/PB over Exsang/CT if youre running 1xSS and tank is only pulling one pack at a time (max 4 targets)
CT feels shit on small pulls, would rather have PB at least.
4/8 mythic boi, just got vectis down last pull of the night
ya
vectis is super complicated though for me
as sin
not sure when to use vendetta on boss, and if i do, do i switch to add when it comes up and waste vendetta on boss
if anyone wants to help me out on how i should be doing this better
also, like save exsang for add? but will it get full value if add dies too quick shrug
i mean generally the first add that comes up after transition isnt that problematic and it lines up with vanish + vend putting an empowered garotte on it and maybe a rupture should be plenty
i dont think we ever had that add 2nd cast
yeah, the first add didnt even have 1 cast ideally i think
i dont bother with the first add, with lust and prepots, it usually dies really quick without me doign anyting
Is there a guide anywhere for how to play with exsang?
im more concerened about the other addsd, cuz my dmg on adds is lower than other dps'es
i mean i personally dont give a fuck about parsing myself if i have to vendetta an add for it to die then ok but that probably means someone else is slacking
TB lines up well with adds and is easier to set up on them
well, the reason im concered about parsing is because it will let me know how to be most efficient without cheesing stuff, using vendetta on add to kill it rather than wipe is preferable, but then we are losing dmg on boss too, and might just die in late game
If you're looking to parse
Rupture add for energy and tunnel boss
For more add dmg probably just go TB to have it up for like every add
hmm, okay soemthing i have to think about then, cuz exsang does sim higher, but if more add dmg is needed, tb might be the way
going to watch some sin PoVs on youtube and see how they do it
for exsang do you let bleeds run out and reapply or just refresh w/ pandemic?
Run out.
we looking for full crit mast gear for m+?
Ideally.
How about for tyrannical weeks?
you won't care about haste until you're doing very very high keys
and only on pure st bosses
imo ignore it
i'd drop vigor if you could cleanly open without it
guys when using exsanguinate do you refresh garrote and rupture even rupture has 17-18 secs.

If you have pressed Exsanguinate you do not refresh DoT for the duration of the "EX'd" DoT.
Yeah refresh if under 20 seconds.
@ tb exsang discussion i swap between bomb/ct depending on the dungeon usually, if i'm doing say, king's rest CT loses a shitload of value cause your max pull is gonna be like maybe 5 mobs
Yeah anything sitting at low pulls like that CT loses value.
trash in there is too dangerous to really pull the stuff that is grouped up all together, so i find that just spreading garrote/ruptures and then burning the scariest in each pull works best there
Yep.
Is CT worth casting in M+ with one target?
No.
Got it
You only compete with players within 1 ilvl of you
so higher is better?
oh I got 98 😃
Guys do u think gcb and doom's trinkets are good together?
Or should I just keep gcb and darkmoon

I would think you should see what the dps difference is
If it feels weird dont do it
then consider the time to click, and the window to use
In Sims doom's have 200 dps more so is pretty big
Can you manage it tho
Yes I can
Then go for it
But should I trust Sim with double on use?
Yes
Ok
But 2 use trinkets sux tbh. Wouldnt do it but Thats just me
same
anyone know if you can get your weekly m+ loot if your game time expired on reset and you couldnt get online for a week?
in the ravenholdt guide it says to use vendetta in tandem with vanish if you have shrouded suffocation, but it also says in the opener to vanish when garrote is about to run out
so your vanish will be like 8-10 seconds delayed from your second vendetta
are you supposed to hold vendetta until vanish is back up?
@quiet spruce because i never screwed up, but discord knows everything best rofl.
so i had 3x ss when the game started and before (even called my team to double check their traits) match started, my gar did 0 dmg. i wrote to the admin to fix this that my ss not working (it got bugged in the tourney server) he told me just "keep play" after the match he said"cant change it anymore" end of story. So i was arguing through the match with the admin to get the remake cause my traits were not working and i got the sub traits instead of my 3xss, but never got a rerun.
Lol, blizzard doing their best with "competitive integrity"
i think they didnt give us the remake because kjells got it first round and they hate remakes for their image anyway
did you use the first dance trait as sin or was that a visual bug?
and allstars was just an "showcase" anyway
What happened in kjell's game anyway?
no @vestal wren obvsl not read what i wrote
i had 3xss ON
@vast forum wrong affixes
-> remkae
ah interessting
and blizz hates remakes
Maybe their game shouldn't suck so much if they don't want remakes
i mean it was just exhebition no team really "cared"
practiced like 4-5days
and streamed
evcen the prac
Yikes
i fucked up my gear when i was the guy who told my team to double check traits before match, and argued WHILE the match 30min with admin to fix it
@solid nova just answered a q
which im allowed to or?
XD rly
If its relative to the spec channel then by all means, continue.
If it's not you can move to the appropriate channel.
well its actually related to this chnl
what do u mean rage just answered a thing ppl got wrong from online thats it not gonna discuss it anyway ^^
cause it about sin
i said what was needed and im done @solid nova
Great
👌
Hey everyone, I played first week of bfa then stopped. I thought that sub was bis for uldir and I come back now to find sin/combat is? Is this cause of in raid gear or a buff/nerf? Am I safe to respec or is the power based on some sort of azerite gear choice?
I don't right now but I'd like to get back into it. Rogues in my guild have respeced and was wondering if that was cause of gear or buff/nerf?
And even for mythic only boss you cant play all 3 specs is zul
Assa is generally the best right now for most bosses
ive read somewhere that you shouldnt garrote more than 3mobs in m+ with the suffocation trait since the 4th would bug the first 3 out making them do normal dmg , is that still true , or was that ever true ?
@slender berry that was fixed some weeks ago
ah okay thanks
I enjoyed sin in ATB, whats the playstyle like now? I leveled as sub since that was suppose to be bis
Guys can anyone tell me setup for m+ raidbots simulation
patchwerk, 5 bosses, no BL , 40sec/1min?
or ?
depends on how you pull in m+
40 sec for 10-12 1 min for 13-15 and if you pull alot sim 5-6 if you pull small groups 3-4
still very innacurate but as good as it gets
since the sims assume you got ful cds on every pack etc you will never get accurate m+ sims
personally id sim with 4 targets 1 minute no bl
@slim estuary our best trait (blade in the shadows) got 3 rounds of nerfs, making sub fall behind other specs
Right, ok. I'm just trying to size up where to go from here 😃 Thanks!
What Azerite traits are you guys running in Mythic raid? 2x Archive 1x SS?
Archive + 2xDD sims best for st for a lot of people
But archive + 2xSS is the most versatile
If you have a choice, swap around depending on fight
Got a question for you guys: I’ve been told that exs snapshots haste but the same is true for garrote? Because I’m trying to figure out where is the right time to use gcb on the opener. Usually I use it right before exs
I usually use it as soon as possible, because then the 1st few bleed ticks until exsg are also buffed by haste, and whole exsg is buffed by it anyway due to snapshotting
I can't say with 100% certainty that it's optimal, but it makes the most sense to me
Exang is the only snapshot. Everything else dynamically updates.
Which is why using exsg at the last sec of gcb gives gcb more value
What stats shuld you aim for M+ ? Critt mastery?
Basically makes 9 sec of dots tick faster + a whole exsg
is it possible to see the opener and rotation for a raidbots sim?
@sand canyon whhaaaaaa, dude, I can't believe they didn't give a remake. I've seen you practice on stream daily and to get screwed in this way is the worst of all. Sorry to hear what happened.
🙃
No Nefy, high skill
I see thats why people are having a hard time
@sand canyon unlucky my dude, feels bad that they only remake if you run out of the instance and start jumping around
Ss traits are so fucking huge
Which is the minimum Haste to play assa?
No well known minimum, gotta Sim stat weights
Like I said though
I'm inclined to believe someone who implies blizz are incompetent
So i'll trust muscle on this one
Why do you think kjells Angels got to remake
Depends, was it a bug or just player negligence
Cuz blizz put the wrong affixes on a key @exotic rampart
Yeah but
They only called remake after they wiped and afked
If they didnt wipe and afk they would've kept going
One would definitely argue preparation is part of a key, yes?
I'm fairly certain they were told to just kewp playing until they make a decision
@floral frost click the html link. go to APL section, read the sample sequence.
They made a decision because they afked
Or they made a decision because it was blizzards mistake
If one team afks due to a "bug" they will stop the contest
Doesn't matter, blizz just want a good viewing experience
They don't give a fuck who wins
So they will allow remakes if it's better than a team afking
Well, it's a matter of who you trust, muscle or blizz devs, but i'm fairly certain his teammates can confirm his story if it's true
That's called bias
Of course his team will agree with him
Idc, it is what it is but assuming one is true is foolish
Kjells Angels ran out and jumped around before the remake happened
They risked getting dqed
We already went over this, it's not comparable
Did they get dqed? No
Muscle claims it wasn't his fault
Simply, if it's a bug blizzard should fix it. If it's player error then qq
Do you dq him for lying
And blizzard would claim it is his fault
That's it, there's no more to this discussipn
We have no way to know the truth
eu/na sucks
Do you guys open with garrotex3 on a m+ pack, or use rupture first(if you had any from last pack) and then apply garrotes cause elobarte planning and not wasting too much CP?
Assuming you're using SS use garrotex3
ok thanks, yes using SS, but only have 1 piece with it
I believe in you tap that garrote and all your keys with great ferocity
No, keep the dramatics out of the spec channels for the 3rd time.
!warn @blissful saddle Read above, take memeing to #off-topic
To get a bit back on topic, what do you guys think about mfd in m+? Assuming perfect play
what's mfd
Marked for death
What are your opinions on exsanguinate vs. toxic blade in m+?
Hey guys :) I'm new here at discord and just recently started WoW again after a long hiatus. Wanted to ask you how viable Assa is in mythic+. Been playing only sub and want to try out different specs :)
Assa is best for pugging
Most people use exsang, but i think you need at least 1 SS trait for that (best sim yourself for just in case) @delicate egret
is 2x double dose 1xArchieve any good?
Right, I've been simming myself and getting toxic blade over exsanguinate, my monk friend kept reeing at me to get exsang
I always use exsang for m+
It sims better 1.2% for me but I am not sure
And if i didnt have ss traits i wouldnt play sin for m+ personally
Anyone knows or use it ? I was reading like double dose is good x3 only
2x DD is strong in raid, not so much in m+
2xDD + archive is the best combo for st for a lot of people
@delicate egret you probably just simmed basic ST patchwerk 5 min for that result?
make sure you are simming MA/TB with that cause Subt and DD is meh
ah shit I might've been
what is the better site to sim yourself?
Raidbots
unstable catalist or DD?
wat
280 agi for 8sec or Double dose
Cuz i only have ss traits
oke man was just asking
its hard to say which one might be better, depends a lot on the rest of your gear
nd situation
its most likely going to be DD, but you never know
In aoe it's goin to be catalyst prolly
on a trash pack in mythic plus what takes prioity, so i crimson tempest after my first 3 garrotes, or do i garrote,rupture 3 targets then crimson?
rupture if u are energy starving
So with 2xDD and 1xArchieve I should sim MA also? Even with Subterfuge its 1.2% upgrade for me. I will now sim for MA too.
you can crimson tempest most of the time after your garrots, if there's enough mobs
garrot will give you enoug energy to Fok and apply ruptures
enough*
Can anyone tell me how I sim my gear for m+? What setup is the best? 5bosses patchwerk for 40 sec w/o bloodlust?
so you'd open garrot x3, CT, FoK, rupture, exs for more energy, then start applying ruptures for energy
And is SS still good to go for 3
then maintain CT or spam it if the pack is big enough, and maintain ruptures for energy
do u spam fok for 4+cp rupture or do u just get ur 3 out regardless of cp, then build them with the extra eneergy?
if you have enough crit you'll rarely get in a situation where you have a 1 CP rupture
2 or 3 then
you can throw 3 CP ruptures if the pack is not gonna last long
@winter gale i do pathcwerk, 4 bosses, 40 seconds, only food and flask
ty m8
if it does just refresh it with 5 cp after
np
yeh cool, thanks @random scroll
if you're running scent of blood trait try applying more ruptures
@winter gale i pinned herodungeon fight script in #subtlety its probably the most reliable approch atm
Can you pin it here?
we discussed about making it a ! command
but iirc there are plans to natively support it on raidbots so its probably only a matter of time
But you don't know how long it will take
well i dont agree it being most reliable with herodmg scrip
spawning adds in middle of combat
that even last pretty long seconds(mobs)

there we go
which would be better double archive or double SS?
Sim it
I feel like the sim would always favor double archive
kk

meow
What is that editing bro
I got my second GCB, so now I can rock two of them ... 😐
lol each on a 1:30 sounds like the dream
no
heh
its unique equipped
I'm being sarcastic cause I've gotten two GCBs in my weekly chests now
mythic cross realm is live?
for NA maybe
@tidal sedge
do you have windows as OS?
If so just use shift+windowsKeys+s and you'll get a screencap that autocrops with your mouse
no need to prntscreen to paint 
Just blanked again, on 2nd Ven/Vanish (subt/SS) do you vanish first or vend then vanish?
What trinkets are good for running mythic 10+? I just got a 380 Azerokk's Resonating Heart. My current trinkets for m+ are Dead-Eye Spyglass(370) and Harlan's Loaded Dice(365 /w socket)
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
doesnt really matter much what combo you have as long as they are in the top 20 trinkets and decent ilvl, pretty marginal differences according to those charts
Yeah but the shards are just looking at aoe damage right?
what if you are doing a really high key where bosses are empowered
there you might want to go for a use trinket like plume or the pvp one
for more burst damage on the boss
You can follow the chart for casual M+ 😛 but if you want to be on the leaderboards its really situational
why not gale or doomscaller for m+?
you usually have to move out of your galecallers for one reason or another, so you cant use it as efficiently
and doomswake is a very good trinket
its just that spyglass/dice are better overall, whereas doomswake gives you a little more control over when it affects you
but assa doesnt have great aoe CDs or anything to use it with
we're king of sustained aoe, on-use trinkets dont work that well with that. its obviously very strong for singletarget, same as galecaller
hmmm guess i need to start farming that spyglass then
what's better for m+ 385 scent of blood of 370 shrouded if I have 3x shrouded?
gotcha. feelsbad my cache had a 385 scent of blood/heed my call in it
scent is very good
its just that SS is so broken for most m+ situations, that it cant compete
i run double scent and its great for gigapulls
doing 70k sustained on aoe on a 10+ mob pull feels amazing
but then you have 3-4 mob pulls where SS just completely outscales traits like archive or scent
get used to it, it happens 90% of the time 😃
the warfront boss drops a 370 azerite correct? is there a list of who drops what?
that's assuming alliance actually contributes up to 100% at some point
you can check your journal in game
but it drops a trinket and an azerite shoulder? i think
oh i see it now, ok
yeah like I know its Doom's Howl/Lion Guile boss when the other faction has control
then there is another guy that you have to queue for the instance and all that, that boss drops 370 as well i think
I still don't fully get how all the warfront stuff works
oh the actual warfront?
there is a quest that you can pick up that gives you a 370 cache
that is only once your faction contributes 100% right?
once you finish the warfront scenario you can turn it in for the 370 item
yea where you queue up
right, but is there a list of what items are available from that or not really?
or does that pool from the same list of bosses in the "Azeroth" section of the journal just starts at 370+ items?
Those are honorbound items
Its all honorbound outriders pieces
but its basically the same 340 piece you get from warfront but 370
huh, ok ... did they change it to where the regular world bosses in arathai drop 355 now? I don't even think I did any of the bosses except the guy with the doom howl's trinket 😐
There isnt any 355 world bosses in arathi
Er, yeah I see now. Durr.
The game is telling me to play outlaw I think. I just got 385 irontide captains hat
With ditb and deadshot
Last week I got 385 chest with ditb
All this ditb shit idk what to make of it cause it’s kinda middle of the road trait for all 3 specs
I play with doom's wake + Dice during fortified. It is possible to make a good use of Doom during big pulls. I open normally, pop multiple Rupture then use Doom's wake, vanish apply 3 garrote, meld apply 3 other garrote and I manage to deal insane amount of damage
note that I also run Send of Blood (when running 13+ keys)
raid? pvp? m+? worldquests? leveling?
that's not possible
raid for now

meld doesn't grant stealth so you get 1 cast of garrote
You meld to break combat then stealth? 🤔
yeah i have the taloc trinket and fetid
theyre both kinda shit
yup
across 3 spec
dice is pretty good, so is dead-eye spyglass
damn i hate free hold
ideally you have one of the strong on-use trinkets
like dooms wake (arathi worldboss), galecallers boon (shrine of the storms) or lustrous golden plumage (kings rest)
my chest gave me a 395 socketted indestructible haste vers legs. think it wants me to play outlaw
u want on use trinket?
to line up with vendetta/vanish/toxicblade
trueee
most trinkets have 2min CD, so do our dps cooldowns
damn gotta do more m+ then
370
but the haste trinket is shit 😄
that ones only good for combat
you got a darkmoon card?
can play that one +fetid until you get better ones
Good week to do some 20+ keys @marble hemlock
I might actually bother to get my score over 1k, actually should prolly start with 500 and maybe actually run all of the dungeons ...
for mythic + : 3xss or 2xss and 1x archieve/laser
What are this weeks affixes? On mobile and can’t get it to load
I like 2x SS and 1x archive, but technically 3x SS is better
tyrannical raging volcanic
I saw laser simming better on mythic dungeons with 2xss but I am affraid laser is pulling
As I saw it few times
Laser shouldnt pull but it does, happened to me when I was spamming shrine
I have either 3x 370 items with 2xss and one archieve or i can go 3x ss but 3rd one is only 345 ilvl
So i am not smart what to do atm
In last sim I did 3Xss was best
But sim options are different
everyone have their own way to sim for mythic plus so I am not sure what to equipp 😄
And me myself dont know
@winter gale unless you are running massive keys I don't know its a huge difference. I just 2x SS and 1x Archive and it does fine. I have basically the same setup, 3x SS would be 345 and I'm just 'meh' about it. But I only run like 10-12s
2xSS is mandatory for m+. the third slot can be a third SS, but it can also be the knife fan one or something. Archive is less effective in m+ since you not getting the ray bonus
Hello, is ss still bugged ?
No
@gusty needle Archive is pretty solid in m+ if your run is going well considering you'll be at high stacks the majority of time and theres no 100 seconds build up time every time like on a raid boss.
Congrats @paper bough
@gusty needle flat agility will provide both AoE & ST.
Idk what to do now shadow
@lone junco thanks
Anyone try running blightborne for m+? I got one at 385. Seems like it sims pretty high but haven’t seen much discussion about it
it sims high on ST & AoE. do a dungeon with it and you'll see it has pretty considerable uptime. its great, SS is still better.
SoB helm in cache. Thats not...terrible?
Its not
not good on ST, ok on AoE
i wouldnt mind hat. My scent hat is 345
seli has been playing 1ss 2 scent. but they do big pulls.
well its better in m+ than on raids I think
70k sustain for fat trash is pretty baller.
@inner pulsar 385 ilvl?
I know that goofy, I've got a 385 SoB Helm, 370 SS shoulders
I thought u could either pick 385 sob or 370 ss
like noobe said maybe theres a case for scent of blood on high keys with big pulls. but for doing 10-15 SS is probably going to be better
I mean, lets be real, I hate M+, I do my one 10 each week
Doing same for now
Just because my internet is fucked
And levelling warlock for next tier
got a big midas trinket in box. must be an outlaw thing cause it appears to be pretty bad.
Its garabge for outlaw
neat
wait is 5auto for fixed dmg.
Very noob question, do you guys pop trinket before applying bleeds or after
might as well be a shadowbolt at 1.5 mins.
@balmy finch bleeds are always up. the only play is haste around exang. in that case before.
@balmy finch they update dynamically except for exsanguinate with haste
what do you guys think, should go for exsanguinate over toxic blade? m+ and raid also.
m+ exsang
yes
Raid sim it
all good, thanks
both are solid in raid. just play what you prefer
exsanguinate is better all around imo
slim chances
Nice
you get a bleed burst then reapply
raidbosses aren't sims
dope dmg
Toxic sims like 500dps over exsang for me
So saying that chances are slim is just dumb
🤷
k you dont have to be a douche
I'm not
Im just saying exsan is better
ok
They are if you're good at mechanics :)
^
didnt want to start a flame war tho
alright if theres a considerable difference than maybe do play TB. on a lot of fights you'll see that TB/xsg are pretty equal
What youre saying is wrong though if TB sims better for some
dam 2 weeks in a row i get really good azerite pieces on different slots
TB is more popular in Uldir overall
from cache
@nimble tartan gimmeh
because its easier to use
got my first double dose chest WOO
exsan if you do mechanics
Okay, so for example, I have Dread Gladiator's Badge, which is an on use 1590 agil for 15 seconds. I looked at the tooltip and my Garrote ticks for 4643 every 1.7s and if I apply trinket before garrote, it ticks 5258 every 1.7s. I've tried to apply bleeds and pop trinket after and it doesn't change the tooltip.
naisu!
What mechanics
@strange python its not a popularity contest. you can see on some bosses TB is better and on others exsg is better.
what do you mean what mechanics
like when you have to run away from boss, just put garrote+rupture+exs and run away or smtg
to keep some dps still
I think
meh.
youre a melee dps youre constantly moving back and fourth to the boss. It makes more sense to use TB since its easier, when you use exsan you have to be able to burst then reapply
