@strange python sim 5+ targets 40 secs for m+ sim, but yea the first 2 only bc the 355 is too low ilvl

elfin plaza
#

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.

mossy adder
#

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? 😃

cold meteor

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
shrewd bane
#

this week are u taking CT or PB ? With Fortify I would say CT but uh

#

I hate that spell

lone junco
#

Pb is good when stuff is stacked and stays put. A large Ct kite can sustain well over 30k dps forever.

shrewd bane
#

y i guess for higher keys it's the best

lone junco
#

I use it in any key tbh. G g g Ct FOK FOK r. GC Exang is a smooth rotation.

ebon garden
#

i have started using CT in dungeons permanently except for kings rest

#

do more overall damage and thats what's most important

stark mirage
#

Should I enchant weapon with mastery for m+? I don't care much about raids

ebon garden
#

if you want to optimize it i would say go for the 2 stats that sims highest (usually crit and mast)

lone junco
#

Crit mastery would be good choices.

#

I use crit haste due to raids.

stark mirage
#

Any sim setting you use to figure out your stats for m+? And fight length?

wheat zealot
#

@mossy adder never delay exsanguinate, ever

#

Get bleeds to max pandemic as its coming off cd

mossy adder
#

so even if there are like 10 sec on my dots i should refresh them very early so i can Exang on CD? 😃

wheat zealot
#

Yessir

lone junco
#

I mean. Dont exang prior to gcb or bloodlust if you expect to use them soon.

wheat zealot
#

Well yeah, thats just common sense imo lol

lone junco
#

I guess on cd to me means when it lights up. Which is how I play tb usually.

dusky rose
#

Agi pot or bursting on St bosses?

spice surge
#

agi always

wheat zealot
#

If theres gonna be a vuln phase or lust soon you may want to save exsang @mossy adder

mossy adder
#

@wheat zealot Thanks dude

#

yeah that makes sense

wheat zealot
#

So i shouldnt say NEVER delay it

mossy adder
#

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

wheat zealot
#

Only time you want to let your bleeds completely fall off is empowered bleeds

ionic charm
#

TB is the current default build, makes sense to me

mossy adder
#

not always

wheat zealot
#

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

mossy adder
#

yeah exactly

#

kinda strange

wheat zealot
#

I wanna say fragnance's video guide covers exsang?

#

Not 100% on that though

mint escarp
#

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

lost horizon
#

PB doesn't conflict with exsang

#

You're thinking TB probably

mint escarp
#

Oh am I thinking the wrong talent row? Oops, still new to rogue

#

They also mention crimson tempest but not how to use

ionic charm
#

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

mint escarp
#

To be quite frank, not sure how either is to be used

ionic charm
#

I forget the number of targets where it becomes more damage to spam Ct than to envenom

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

3rd GCB is held ~15s (vendetta held too) to line up with 4th exsang and 2nd vanish

desert vault
#

ok, so 2nd GCB won't be paired with Exsang? Just smash both on CD basically?

ionic charm
#

Yeah, it won’t lineup every other, you can’t wait long enough for that to happen without messing up vendetta

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

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.

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

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

desert vault
#

I assume there is a bit more pooling with TB vs Exsang?

gentle mist
#

hi guys. Im beginning to play assa Exsanguinate and i wanted to know if i should always time Exsanguinate and Galecaller's Boon ?

ionic charm
#

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%

gentle mist
#

thanks @ionic charm 😉

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

gentle mist
#

ok thanks

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

Only thing my 390 GCB did for me talent wise was make fuge sim higher than MA

#

Still likes Tb better

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

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

ebon garden
#

SoB or Archive for m+?

#

370

wheat zealot
#

Blightborne is a good trait

#

And use sob

desert vault
#

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

sonic crown
#

Big thing I've noticed is how much having good secondary stats matter.

#

Azerite traits*

desert vault
#

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 😃

lone junco
#

I like dd. Tb for raid. Ezpz heavy pressure.

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

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

wheat zealot
#

Gcb is still a great trinket for tb

desert vault
#

that's true, forgot it will help TB a bit as well

lone junco
#

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.

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

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

desert vault
#

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

shrewd bane
#

me and my 375 harlan dices;;;

#

titanforged + socket

#

#mad

cold meteor
#

A friend just loot a 390 socket GCB on his alt tank in front of me

jolly comet
#

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?

tulip wedge
#

"friend"

dark crag
#

Hâte? Is that haste?

ionic charm
#

@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.

jolly comet
#

@ionic charm ok thanks

ionic charm
#

I’m only 1.4k though so not an expert on that

jolly comet
#

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

ionic charm
#

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

thick musk
#

Ss seems to only sim higher than other traits in like 20-40 sec Sims. But it's still basically the best.

jolly comet
#

ahh ok

eternal sigil
#

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

ionic charm
#

You can copy the APL from the generic sims, and remove vanish usage if you feel so inclined. I usually do for m+ sims

desert vault
#

With MA you should always be able to get to get 2x Envenoms off inside 3s MA window after Vanish?

ionic charm
#

Not always, no.

#

Unless you have 50% base crit, I guess

desert vault
#

True, just depends on crit chance on first Mut ...

ionic charm
#

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

desert vault
#

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

ionic charm
#

Try doing mythic Zul, either 130k dps over first 20 seconds or 50k from crits or your other dps going mongo on the adds

desert vault
#

Weird, looking at an MA log and the guy is using Vanish > TB instead of Vanish > Envenom ...

opaque grotto
#

APL does Vanish > Tb > mut > env afaik

cerulean walrus
#

You can do either, this was a long discussion a few days ago

desert vault
#

Oh yeah yeah, I remember now 😃

proper zealot
#

So close. : /

#

I didn't get an upgrade at all this week.

round harbor
#

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

strange python
#

@proper zealot how did you get a 390 chest??

grand cosmos
#

strange python
#

ah

round harbor
#

Mega ap grinder lol

#

What is that like 32? Traits

desert vault
#

You guys all these damn sockets ...

proper zealot
#

It's a Level 32 Heart of Azeroth, yeah.

latent locust
#

is it viable to have 2 or even 3 ss traits?

proper zealot
#

I don't grind AP, though. @round harbor

round harbor
#

How

#

I don't grind ap and I'm 28 I think

#

Do you do like all AP world quests?

proper zealot
#

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.

round harbor
#

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

proper zealot
#

I guess, but I don't consider it grinding. I play for literally like an hour each day. 😄

#

Feels pretty darn casual to me.

amber arrow
#

Just do the opposite faction ap wq

#

Theyre usually the blue ap thing and takes 15 mins

somber moon
#

well considering theres no benefit to ap world quests except the ap..

#

Id rather be doing keys

grand cosmos
#

For mythic+ is it worth going 2x use trinket? I have a use pvp trinket 365 and galecallers 370.

proper zealot
#

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.

haughty lily
#

do you guys had a weakaura for galecallers?

#

i have no clue how to make one

spare dragon
#

i couldn't find one with both aspects, and I cant test them at work :/

sick eagle
#

I am confused rn,sims are saying Ring A but Stat Weights say Ring B

spare dragon
#

does ring a have haste and ring b have less or no haste?

sick eagle
#

Ring A 250 haste ring b 120 haste

#

breakpoint maybe or what?

spare dragon
#

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

sick eagle
#

ok ty

haughty lily
#

i just learned how to make one that tracked when it was on cd

#

good enough

#

thanks anyway 😃

proper zealot
#

I could gain 12 DPS if I switch to Subterfuge! 😮

opaque grotto
#

I would do it

#

Subt is more consistent than MA

proper zealot
#

Yeah, it just seems "weird" using Subterfuge without having any Shrouded Suffocation powers.

lost sentinel
#

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

peak harbor
#

On ST, with TB do u wait to get like 120 energy , and then go full rotation ? Or it doesnt matter ?

lost sentinel
#

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

ionic charm
#

@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

rugged jetty
#

Do you hold exang till galecallers is up?

ionic charm
#

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

rugged jetty
#

Gotcha

#

Now do you blow vanish after first exang to get empowered gar up

ionic charm
#

Yes

rugged jetty
#

Ok

eager river
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
shy blaze
#

Are all dots dynamic these days when it comes to applying a buff after a dot? Like agi potion or vendetta for example

proper zealot
#

For Rogues, yes.

eternal sigil
#

Exsanguinate is the only thing that snapshots from what I have gathered? IDK if only haste or everything

lone junco
#

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.

spice surge
#

Only haste

marble hemlock
#

basically this

#

shoutout to lorentz for explaining it like that

civic palm
#

also partial ticks still exist and are effectively added to the ending tick.

lone junco
#

neat. so dont clip the tick

#

noted

civic palm
#

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.

vital haven
#

hey guys is shrouded suffocation still good for m+?

drifting elbow
#

one of the best

spice surge
#

Actually, THE best

lone junco
#

oh man. 2dps loss to have quick on mainhand, deadly offhand captdon

#

theeeee best.

solid nova
#

Mad gains there Noobe

civic palm
#

lol

#

Need a green dagger.

drifting elbow
#

DonkaS big difference

lime plume
#

seen folk using toxic blade even though they use shrouded on taloc, is there any reason for this?

lone junco
#

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.

lime plume
#

alright cheers

drifting elbow
#

TB and exsang dps difference is most of time practically same dps

glacial steppe
#

how do people kill mother in 2:30 and do 40k dps?`

#

dafak

#

mythic obviously

subtle tundra
#

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

fluid drift
#

@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

velvet kernel
#

@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

cinder sparrow
#

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 ?

ionic charm
#

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.

marsh bloom
#

so do you use PK at 4 cp?

#

since you do that in pvp

cinder sparrow
#

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 ?

ionic charm
#

No, using finishers at 4 cp is fine, PK is too high of an energy cost @marsh bloom

marsh bloom
#

any idea why they do it in pvp?

ionic charm
#

@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

supple hearth
#

@marsh bloom for system shock. U don't need to if ur not running ss

wary reef
#

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?

marsh bloom
#

I play outlaw

#

I feel like sub would be fine

#

just see your damage by the end of the dungeon

strange python
#

if you forget to pool energy before TB comes off cd, should it be used instantly regardless?

lone junco
#

@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

ionic charm
#

@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

lone junco
#

I prefer SS Ct cause there are very few CDs necessary to do big damage.

ionic charm
#

agreed

wary reef
#

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

drifting elbow
#

u dont kill them at different times

#

u r just making dmg tick longer time

wary reef
#

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

ionic charm
#

Fire mage isn't great for the sub cheese. Bursting issues really are less of a spec thing and more of a coordination thing

drifting elbow
#

what kind of stack amount u guys got anyway

wary reef
#

As in how high we get before we say let it drop? Usually 5-6

drifting elbow
#

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

steep basin
#

New to rogue and doing the x4 weekly in freehold. where would I shroud to skip to last boss?

drifting elbow
#

the packs before bridge

steep basin
#

Like where youd usually jump over?

drifting elbow
#

no

#

the first bridge

steep basin
#

Oh ok

drifting elbow
#

it has the most mobs to skip

#

after second bridge has like 8 mobs or 2 mobs if u got warlock gateway to skip

steep basin
#

Ok so we can just go straight to the last boss doing that? dont need to kill any?

drifting elbow
#

just few mobs and last boss

steep basin
#

Neat

#

Thanks

drifting elbow
#

should be 5 min runs if no ninjapulling

#

even 300ilvl geared can run those pretty fast GWskarzzLUL

steep basin
#

Okay I ran into an enforcer that was blocking the bridge lol

drifting elbow
#

yeah thats pretty tricky

#

small mounted ppl with perfect sneak can do it

steep basin
#

Can you actually get by him?

drifting elbow
#

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 GWvertiPeepoSalute

crude bay
#

Dont you do 4 m+ a week anyways?

drifting elbow
#

it takes way longer time than completing 4 FH last boss runs

crude bay
#

But if you do 4 m+ anyways, it takes longer time overall to do 4 FH last boss runs

#

Ye?

#

This is only 320 so its hard for me to find groups

#

I dont do them

crude bay
#

Yeah, then i understand

drifting elbow
#

im not farming that much m+ after being geared good

young socket
#

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

drifting elbow
#

if i can spare time for last boss kills, i will do that

#

🤷

with sap its only needed if hou are going to run over the mob really

This was not offtopic

#

you are offtopic

craggy imp
#

hey, what do you guys prefere as a secondary azerite trait, heed my call, or overwelming power?

velvet kernel
#

overwelming power

#

POWARRRR

craggy imp
#

i should also add, for pvp not pve!

rocky notch
#

who knows

#

pvp scaling is so bizzare

#

i actually have no idea

velvet kernel
#

would say heed

craggy imp
#

:S

velvet kernel
#

cause you get hit a fuck tone in pvp

spice surge
#

Overpower is still better

#

It doesnt get used up every singletime you take dmg, it has some sort of icd

#

Or something

velvet kernel
#

well

#

that makes sense

#

but yeah overpower is just so good

#

so if thats not a factor then go with that

spice surge
#

But heed is also very good if you have 3x heed

#

For suprise bursts

craggy imp
#

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

spice surge
#

Prob power

velvet kernel
#

power is just really fucking good

craggy imp
#

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

velvet kernel
#

yeah

craggy imp
#

but when i do i shall use it thanks lads

velvet kernel
#

buts you can also play around with it

#

see what u like more aswell ig uess

molten moon
#

how do yall feel about archive in M+?

velvet kernel
#

its good

#

especially if you do the turnip thing at the start

spice surge
#

Good but it isnt SS

molten moon
#

i mean, should i run 1x arhive and 2x SS OR 1x Swirling Sand and 2x SS like my sim is telling me to

velvet kernel
#

i would go archive

#

but thats just me

wheat zealot
#

Whats the ilvls of sands and archive

molten moon
#

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 :/

velvet kernel
#

Try out both

#

see which you like better

molten moon
#

its not about what i like. its always all about DPS though 😃

velvet kernel
#

well if you play better with one you will do more dp

#

dps

tribal marlin
#

remember that sim start with 0 archive stacks

#

when in m+ you most of time start with more than 15+ stacks

rare garden
#

am i dumb or is it not possible to macro trinkets with skills anymore

velvet kernel
#

Depends if they are on gcd or not

#

The abilities that is

#

You can still do it if they are

drifting elbow
#

macro does work with skills

#

they just dont all activate at same time

rare garden
#

oh, figured it out. was trying to have it be shift: vendetta, otherwise trinket. just had to add [nomod]

haughty lily
#

Is it weird to equip 2 active trinkets??

proper zealot
#

Kind of clunky, yeah.

haughty lily
#

so i should keep harlans

proper zealot
#

Using one puts the other on a 20-second CD before you can use it.

haughty lily
#

and choose between dooms and gale

prisma crescent
#

Active trinkets 😷

proper zealot
#

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.

molten moon
#

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

proper zealot
#

Use more targets.

#

Like six, rather than three.

#

6-target patchwerk, 40 seconds, no buffs.

prisma crescent
#

@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

molten moon
#

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

prisma crescent
#

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

molten moon
#

so i guess it makes sense its pushing me into haste more than crit/mastery

prisma crescent
#

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

young socket
#

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.

quiet spruce
#

4/8 mythic boi, just got vectis down last pull of the night

lost horizon
#

Grats man

#

It's always on those last pulls

quiet spruce
#

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

steep obsidian
#

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

quiet spruce
#

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

old lagoon
#

Is there a guide anywhere for how to play with exsang?

quiet spruce
#

im more concerened about the other addsd, cuz my dmg on adds is lower than other dps'es

steep obsidian
#

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

lost horizon
#

TB lines up well with adds and is easier to set up on them

quiet spruce
#

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

lost horizon
#

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

quiet spruce
#

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

old lagoon
#

for exsang do you let bleeds run out and reapply or just refresh w/ pandemic?

civic palm
#

Run out.

rough agate
#

we looking for full crit mast gear for m+?

proper zealot
#

Ideally.

ruby pelican
#

How about for tyrannical weeks?

rocky notch
#

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

proud surge
#

guys when using exsanguinate do you refresh garrote and rupture even rupture has 17-18 secs.

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
civic palm
#

If you have pressed Exsanguinate you do not refresh DoT for the duration of the "EX'd" DoT.

proud surge
#

i mean before using exsan

#

to make rupture timer 20+ secs on the target

civic palm
#

Yeah refresh if under 20 seconds.

cobalt gyro
#

@ 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

civic palm
#

Yeah anything sitting at low pulls like that CT loses value.

cobalt gyro
#

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

civic palm
#

Yep.

hidden anchor
#

Is CT worth casting in M+ with one target?

proper zealot
#

No.

Or should I just keep gcb and darkmoon

strange python

sim, is the answer yo uare going to get

round wadi

Yea

I know

But it feel weird to have double on use trinket

Whatever fits your playstyle more

#

Play what you like

I would think you should see what the dps difference is

If it feels weird dont do it

cloud grove

then consider the time to click, and the window to use

round wadi

In Sims doom's have 200 dps more so is pretty big

strange python

Can you manage it tho

round wadi

Yes I can

Then go for it

round wadi

But should I trust Sim with double on use?

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?

cloud grove

should still be there

#

not sure how long it will last thou

vocal harbor
#

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?

sand canyon
#

@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.

vast forum
#

Lol, blizzard doing their best with "competitive integrity"

sand canyon
#

i think they didnt give us the remake because kjells got it first round and they hate remakes for their image anyway

vestal wren
#

did you use the first dance trait as sin or was that a visual bug?

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?

quasi pewter
#

Do you raid mythic?

#

If not, play whatever feels best to you, since all are viable

slim estuary
#

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?

quasi pewter
#

And even for mythic only boss you cant play all 3 specs is zul

#

Assa is generally the best right now for most bosses

slender berry
#

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 ?

quasi pewter
#

@slender berry that was fixed some weeks ago

slender berry
#

ah okay thanks

slim estuary
#

I enjoyed sin in ATB, whats the playstyle like now? I leveled as sub since that was suppose to be bis

winter gale
#

Guys can anyone tell me setup for m+ raidbots simulation

#

patchwerk, 5 bosses, no BL , 40sec/1min?

#

or ?

slender berry
#

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

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

vast forum
#

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

visual token
#

Exang is the only snapshot. Everything else dynamically updates.

vast forum
#

Which is why using exsg at the last sec of gcb gives gcb more value

dry badge
#

What stats shuld you aim for M+ ? Critt mastery?

Basically makes 9 sec of dots tick faster + a whole exsg

Cuz blizz put the wrong affixes on a key @exotic rampart

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

lone junco
#

@floral frost click the html link. go to APL section, read the sample sequence.

exotic rampart
#

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

exotic rampart
#

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

Just as likely they'd just dq them too

This is a competition after all

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

Of course his team will agree with him

#

Idc, it is what it is but assuming one is true is foolish

We already went over this, it's not comparable

Simply, if it's a bug blizzard should fix it. If it's player error then qq

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

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

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?

2 gcbs are a thing?

no

I'm being sarcastic cause I've gotten two GCBs in my weekly chests now

@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 GWcmeisterPeepoEZ

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)

stable oxide
#

depends on how high the key is

#

depends on the affixes

strange python
#

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

stable oxide
#

Yeah but the shards are just looking at aoe damage right?

#

what if you are doing a really high key where bosses are empowered

marble hemlock
#

play spyglass+dice

#

as assa

stable oxide
#

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

haughty lily
#

why not gale or doomscaller for m+?

marble hemlock
#

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

haughty lily
#

hmmm guess i need to start farming that spyglass then

silent scaffold
#

what's better for m+ 385 scent of blood of 370 shrouded if I have 3x shrouded?

marble hemlock
#

SS

#

in almost all cases

silent scaffold
#

gotcha. feelsbad my cache had a 385 scent of blood/heed my call in it

marble hemlock
#

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

silent scaffold
#

makes sense

#

thanks for the quick response 😃

fresh ginkgo
#

no upgrades in this week chest

#

😦

subtle tundra
#

get used to it, it happens 90% of the time 😃

fresh ginkgo
#

got lucky last week chest

#

prayed for the SS helm got a wrist feelsbadman

desert vault
#

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

fresh ginkgo
#

you can check your journal in game

#

but it drops a trinket and an azerite shoulder? i think

desert vault
#

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

fresh ginkgo
#

oh the actual warfront?

#

there is a quest that you can pick up that gives you a 370 cache

desert vault
#

that is only once your faction contributes 100% right?

fresh ginkgo
#

once you finish the warfront scenario you can turn it in for the 370 item

#

yea where you queue up

desert vault
#

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?

fresh ginkgo
#

no im not sure

#

where you can find the list the equips

spice surge
#

Those are honorbound items

wheat zealot
#

Its all honorbound outriders pieces

fresh ginkgo
#

but its basically the same 340 piece you get from warfront but 370

desert vault
#

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 😐

spice surge
#

There isnt any 355 world bosses in arathi

desert vault
#

Er, yeah I see now. Durr.

paper bough
#

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

tribal marlin
#

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)

marble hemlock
#

meld

#

alliance scum

median tiger
#

i wanna try out assa

#

which trinket should i aim for

marble hemlock
#

raid? pvp? m+? worldquests? leveling?

oak tangle
#

that's not possible

median tiger
#

raid for now

marble hemlock
oak tangle
#

meld doesn't grant stealth so you get 1 cast of garrote

spice surge
#

You meld to break combat then stealth? 🤔

marble hemlock
#

on trash you get 3

#

only bosses force you into combat, where meld only gives 1

median tiger
#

yeah i have the taloc trinket and fetid

marble hemlock
#

theyre both kinda shit

median tiger
#

also got the tiny jar

#

i heard dice is pretty good across spec?

marble hemlock
#

yup

median tiger
#

across 3 spec

marble hemlock
#

dice is pretty good, so is dead-eye spyglass

median tiger
#

damn i hate free hold

marble hemlock
#

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)

oak tangle
#

my chest gave me a 395 socketted indestructible haste vers legs. think it wants me to play outlaw

median tiger
#

u want on use trinket?

marble hemlock
#

to line up with vendetta/vanish/toxicblade

median tiger
#

trueee

marble hemlock
#

most trinkets have 2min CD, so do our dps cooldowns

median tiger
#

damn gotta do more m+ then

marble hemlock
#

fetid trinket is pretty decent

#

if oyu have it on higher ilvl

median tiger
#

370

marble hemlock
#

but the haste trinket is shit 😄

median tiger
#

i have the tiny jar trinket

#

from TOS

marble hemlock
#

that ones only good for combat

#

you got a darkmoon card?

#

can play that one +fetid until you get better ones

desert vault
#

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 ...

winter gale
#

for mythic + : 3xss or 2xss and 1x archieve/laser

hardy veldt
#

What are this weeks affixes? On mobile and can’t get it to load

desert vault
#

I like 2x SS and 1x archive, but technically 3x SS is better

oak tangle
#

tyrannical raging volcanic

winter gale
#

I saw laser simming better on mythic dungeons with 2xss but I am affraid laser is pulling

#

As I saw it few times

wheat zealot
#

Tyran raging volcanic

#

@hardy veldt

weary verge
#

Laser shouldnt pull but it does, happened to me when I was spamming shrine

mint escarp
#

I've had laser pull some but not others

#

It's weird

winter gale
#

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

desert vault
#

@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

winter gale
#

me too

#

Ok, that was what I wanted to kow

gusty needle
#

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

paper bough
#

Cache had bis outlaw helm in it

#

385 deadshot

thin patio
#

Hello, is ss still bugged ?

lone junco
#

No

crisp steppe
#

@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.

hardy veldt
#

Congrats @paper bough

crisp steppe
#

@gusty needle flat agility will provide both AoE & ST.

paper bough
#

Idk what to do now shadow

thin patio
#

@lone junco thanks

ruby pelican
#

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

strange python
#

Its not bad

#

But SS is king

crisp steppe
#

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.

inner pulsar
#

SoB helm in cache. Thats not...terrible?

strange python
#

Its not

crisp steppe
#

not good on ST, ok on AoE

lone junco
#

i wouldnt mind hat. My scent hat is 345

inner pulsar
#

I still only have one SS trait though

#

Guess M+ is not part of my class fantasy

lone junco
#

seli has been playing 1ss 2 scent. but they do big pulls.

crisp steppe
#

well its better in m+ than on raids I think

lone junco
#

70k sustain for fat trash is pretty baller.

strange python
#

@inner pulsar 385 ilvl?

inner pulsar
#

Yeah, 385

#

Well, 385 SoB, 370 SS

strange python
#

SS for m+

#

15 ilvl not good enough

inner pulsar
#

I know that goofy, I've got a 385 SoB Helm, 370 SS shoulders

strange python
#

I thought u could either pick 385 sob or 370 ss

crisp steppe
#

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

inner pulsar
#

I mean, lets be real, I hate M+, I do my one 10 each week

strange python
#

Doing same for now

#

Just because my internet is fucked

#

And levelling warlock for next tier

lone junco
#

got a big midas trinket in box. must be an outlaw thing cause it appears to be pretty bad.

strange python
#

Its garabge for outlaw

lone junco
#

neat

strange python
#

Might want to scrap it

#

😄

lone junco
#

wait is 5auto for fixed dmg.

balmy finch
#

Very noob question, do you guys pop trinket before applying bleeds or after

lone junco
#

might as well be a shadowbolt at 1.5 mins.

strange python
#

Depends which trinkets

#

Most just go with vendetta

lone junco
#

@balmy finch bleeds are always up. the only play is haste around exang. in that case before.

crisp steppe
#

@balmy finch they update dynamically except for exsanguinate with haste

brisk raptor
#

what do you guys think, should go for exsanguinate over toxic blade? m+ and raid also.

strange python
#

m+ exsang

candid smelt
#

yes

strange python
#

Raid sim it

brisk raptor
#

all good, thanks

crisp steppe
#

both are solid in raid. just play what you prefer

candid smelt
#

exsanguinate is better all around imo

strange python
#

Not if it sims less

#

😃

candid smelt
#

slim chances

strange python
#

Nice

candid smelt
#

you get a bleed burst then reapply

crisp steppe
#

raidbosses aren't sims

candid smelt
#

dope dmg

strange python
#

Toxic sims like 500dps over exsang for me

#

So saying that chances are slim is just dumb

#

🤷

candid smelt
#

k you dont have to be a douche

strange python
#

I'm not

candid smelt
#

Im just saying exsan is better

strange python
#

ok

pastel vault
#

They are if you're good at mechanics :)

candid smelt
#

^

brisk raptor
#

didnt want to start a flame war tho

crisp steppe
#

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

jade grove
#

What youre saying is wrong though if TB sims better for some

nimble tartan
#

dam 2 weeks in a row i get really good azerite pieces on different slots

strange python
#

TB is more popular in Uldir overall

nimble tartan
#

from cache

lone junco
#

@nimble tartan gimmeh

candid smelt
#

because its easier to use

nimble tartan
#

got my first double dose chest WOO

candid smelt
#

exsan if you do mechanics

balmy finch
#

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.

candid smelt
#

naisu!

strange python
#

What mechanics

crisp steppe
#

@strange python its not a popularity contest. you can see on some bosses TB is better and on others exsg is better.

candid smelt
#

what do you mean what mechanics

brisk raptor
#

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

lone junco
#

meh.

candid smelt
#

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
