don't have it, my GCB is max ilvl, but not super ideal for MA, still good for TB
then only have a 360 dice and fathoms really
gcb is like 3rd best for MA
ma*?
master assasin
ohh
Well I just found out that the Taloc haste trinket got buffed by a bit
still sims shit for me
Mine is an 385 with socket over 370 dice
thats pogchamp
whats the stomp timer on fetid, someone knows?
57 seconds-2:10-3:30
It's a shame raidbots api doesn't factor exang properly.....it never sims higher DPS and EVERY top rogue uses in M+
well.
what fight did you sim to deal with Exang In M+?
did you sim 1t 2m, 3t 20 6t 40? then do a composite dps based on pull counts in the instance?
lol
i didnt bother with BFA. cause SS is >>
i actually did it for Upper. cause I feeely that legion exang was better
but it was not.
i played it for raid full time. but m+ was not a gain for me. ever
literally only the 4m sim was >>
and even barely at that.
all the other counts and durations was shoulder mastery stack
i was bored at work one day
meh
@molten moon people use Exang in M+ over TB, because SS is godly for the 3-10t cleaves. so in order to pump the ST bosses exang on SS is best. In cleave it is effectively just an energy gain due to faster tick rates.
here is some crit break point graph from late legion exang.
I guess that was 9500 rating, idk.
Draw my dps like one of those french girls
Do I need galecallers and 20% haste or more for Exsanguinate to overtake toxic blade
Also both of my only 385 Azerite pieces are dagger in the back and my 370 shoulders are the only SS piece I have unless I give up wearing the 385 ditb Chest for fetid 370 SS chest
why do you want to run ss/exsang?
Also are these 18k sims I see floating around buffed or unbuffed
why do you care?
So I can dim my character and gauge where I stand in comparison????
im so confused
Yea you are
why would they not be buffed?
why would you not sim with that?
unless its for m+ but you would not sim 1 target
Why wouldn’t I run SS and exsang
well dd and tb/ma is really good too
or just sub ss and tb
and loads of ppl sim 18k+
but dont worry about sims :d
I don’t know what to say
?
Did SimC/raidbots update with the Construct Overcharger change?
nevermind checked raidbots discord and the answer is yes.
What ballpark dps you think I should be simming at for.375 I level st patchwerk 5min full buffs
I’m pretty underwhelmed with this number
16.5k
with 10 stacks?
It has to matter because I’m fed up with guessing whether shit tier 385 traits are better or worse than 370 SS/ good traits
Just throw the pieces on and then sim the stuff I think is best vs other gear combos until I get the highest number
Is what I’ve been doing
just use topgear
topgear

Yo if anyone is playing MA Sin i was just curious of ur opener for raid
Its in the guide
For those of you are 375+ ilvl, is mastery climbing your stat weights like crazy aswell?
I'm not quite sure why but mines way up there now, just below haste but higher than agi aswell
y'all running CT or bomb this week for m+?
@dawn coyote Yes, same for me Haste > Mast > Agility. But i'm playing MA/TB and an Envenom trait. Also I have a high D-Eye Spyglass so i can see why Mast is gaining value and Crit is losing
@hidden anchor Depends on the key level, the dungeon & the other two dps
you should still run it in any key that isn't KR or possibly Temple
@eager linden Okay, but it's a bit strange though because I'm not using the spyglass, I'm running with loaded dice and plumage so I'm not sure why mastery is valued so much more than crit for me
for anyone who has killed ghuun or is progging, when do i want to rotate my vendetta? @1 minute on tendril or just hold until 2m burn on ghuun
?
Does anyone else have a problem shadowstepping to the first boss in Siege of Boralus? It tells me I can't do that right now
anyone in first add group on fetid? do you use vendetta on the big add or the little one
can you shadow step with orbs on ghuun?
does the enchant matter which hand its in? like is deadly stronger if its in main hand?
I've simmed and found otherwise, but that was for sub, not sure if it's spec relevant
I use my vendetta on pull on ghuun cause I'm on special mission tendril killing the leftmost one all alone
actually nvm, not sure what results i was looking at but just resimmed to check
i know its prob been asked a million times but what azu traits you guys finding best for uldir?
Archive 🤤
I have a fair few questions for assassination, is anyone free to dm me or should I just post em here a few (1) at a time?
omr is it not worth holding venetta since the big wormy will die either way?
Never had issues with it tbh
im starting prog tonight and trying to figure out what i wanna do for the next 300 pulls
I never even swapped to the big worm when it came out
I was just running around dotting tendrils and kicking shit
cancer caner in melee?
Theres just always a couple tendrils that spawn left near the ramp up so I just chilled there dotting and inting
does a haste level where it drops in value exist? 😮
yeah
hope I get benched for mythrax prog, doesnt look fun
G L
What’s your opinion about double dose Azerite trait for mythic+? Is unstable catalyst or twist the knife better?
I got fetid chest, zul shoulders on first kill and 390 dagger from weekly chest, finally some upgrades
for 3 targets with exsang, do i garrote 3x, rupture, mutliate, rupture a different target, exsang, or is there a better way to do it?
Hey guys, just looking for a bit of guidance, just dinged 120, what is the 'go to' scrub talent spec for bog standard dungeons?
Took a huge break after last expac and I'm a wee bit behind at the mo
Cool, thanks mate
Just need to get geared at the mo, so not for a bit
well try aim for that gear if you can
i know the helm drops from SoS
cant remember the rest
glhf though
Looking for a bit of advice on Mythic ZekVoz, what is everyone running in terms of Azerite Traits?
item level, DD if you have it.
I thought DD was pretty average for AoE?

If you need AoE go OTL or something > _>
Let me rephrase, should I focus more on having an AoE presence for Zek through Crimson etc
SIN works fine IMO, most people are well above the designed item level for those encounters.
If warriors are taking too long to die, try and do something about it.
Fair enough.
I'm still reading I should be aiming for SS despite it not simming as high as DD?
It's 2 different situation things
DD is strictly single target
Ss can be used for both
is it worth to have 2 archive of the titans?
Yeah the stats are fine you just don't get the passive twice.
yeah its either that or shrouded suffocation
got a 340 galecaller's boon from Mythic 0 yesterday, and gave it to a hunter....stupid move? already have fathoms and harlan's 345
should've 
galecallers probs beats a harlans at 345 st
2x archives 1x DD raidsetup and everything only 370....shit sucks
Got one Archives now, ditb and SS.
Did pretty okay last night with that
2x archive 1 ss, sim for 18400 now
@brave gyro didnt have time, he begged for it like crazy, oh well...
@lean coral really? ...damn....
@patent topaz i got 1 SS 1 Archi 1 DD 😄
hey how are u guys simming for m+ with SS?
3 targets, sometimes 40 sec - 3 mins, do different variations of that usually
alternately, there's a guide somewhere that shows you how to use raidbots advanced mode to do DungeonSlice, which is what they use on herodamage , it trys to mimic part of a mythic+ dungeon

For exsang out of vendetta and vanish, do I rupture > garrote > rupture exsang?
if i onlyt plan on doing m+ for my ass rogue, should i be using the stat weights of 3 target 1 min fights?
cuz the haste prio is super low
Sim for 3-6 targets, 40sec-1min
yeah its basically teling me to use all my mastery heavy gear is there a certain amount of haste % i should aim for to not be completly useless on bosses?
On tyrannical you might want some haste, but you won't be useless no matter what
ah ok
so i should be gemming straight into mastery since its my lowest over than verse
I just love the hastestacking fantasy
I also need mastery now and I am sitting on 15% haste only
Sims already says I should enchant into mastery for some of my items
switch your crit enchantment on wep to mastery if you have any
I assume your crit is high
Hey Guys, is there any guide that tells which talents to use on specific affixes in which dungeons? For instance Tryanical Temple - use poison bomb instead of CT and such?
well you can just think about it
so many SS and DD traits in the new raid 😮
for fortified its CT cuz of mobs’ high HP, then for tyrannical/ST heavy fight, just aim for PB
Yeah, just wanted to see if there are some experienced people here who already have this tested 😃 In theory, what you said should be the rule
I dont know anything about this rotation, Im just using whichever I prefer most in dungs
You should’ve been in every m+ by now so you can decide whether one is AoE or ST heavy 😀
is the best gem to get on pieces like wrist a haste gem?
Sim it
It'll be whatever your highest stat is from your simmed stat weights
@fair sparrow it also depends on how much you are pulling. If your tank can't handle like 4+ mobs consistently then pb may pull ahead a little more
CT is nice, but I've found the gap between the two in pugs to be very small if any
Yeah, thats my problem. My tank is still bet shaky (he did 1st 10 yday) so pulls are not that big. Also I'm wondering about excetpions, Tryanicall weeks where CT would be better due to bigger packs (motherlode) and fortified where pb would pull ahead
Pb for temple/kr usually. Depending on how you pull underrot it can be good there too
Ct everything else always
it's all small difference but still, i like to be sure i'm using best possible talents and so on 😃
makes me feel good
Also consider playing other specs while your learning and progressing
I much prefer outlaw in motherlode/atal and for shrine/TD sub is top tier
could do that, outlaw is honestly way more fun spec in dynamical encounters such as PVP, while sin i like for dps i pull. But i'm still uncomfortable with sub, i need more experience on it.
Thank for the input, i'll try to see what azerite i have for outlaw and sub
apparently i'm simming equally between 375 SS/Archive and 385 TTK + 375 archive
DD on the helm for both sets
is the archive piece the same piece? because if it isn't, I'd use the setup with SS, just so you can use the same slot in M+ 😃
it is unfortunately
i give up archive on chest to use SS, shoulders get archive
oh wait i see what you mean lol
yeah i can swap out the shoulders for m+
Ummm, I think something fucky is going on with my sims, for some reason Sharpened Blade is simming higher than SS, on two equal ilvl pieces, and I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be happening
with subterfuge?


15+ML key this with CT feels really good.
Hey guys, on vectis when I run with exsang, my bleed and garrotes times seem to get messed up. How do you guys use exsang when you have no vanish and no vendetta. Do you rupture twice and garotte before exsang ? Or just hold exsang for when you do a fresh application of rupture and garote
Are you guys still using PB on King's rest?

hey fellas, I've been out of the loop for a little while. what spec is performing well in primarily M+ content atm?
!best
All specs are good. Specific ones shine in specific areas.
Check the following resources for the facts:
Warcraft Logs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/19#class=Rogue
Raider.io: https://raider.io/mythic-plus/season-bfa-1/all/world/leaderboards-strict
tyvm
In M+ assass is the best spec on avg, but its outplayed by outlaw on certain dungeons and affixes, alle 3 are viable, just dont expect to come close to the other spec preformances in their prime scenarios, but yea, assass and outlaw are very solid allround specs atm, sub feels a bit weird but has its place in M+ aswell
All 3*
@solid sluice
Also comes down to your group comp, whats the best utility for your setup, probably the most important thing atm
How long before TB comes off CD do you guys usually start pooling?
Depends on how many targets you have poisoned and bleeds on, can vary a bit :)
On st i usually wait somewhere between 4-6 sec tops
If im drained
But again, i might be wrong :)
How many ilvls do you guys think SS is worth approx? asking cause I have a 370 chest with poisoned wire + overwhelming power and I'm considering running normal for a chance at a 355 fetid chest
For m+ 355 100%
For singletarget you'd have to sim it but i think it would be close, poisoned wire is very bad
for me a 355 SS helm was worth more than a 385 SoB helm in M+
really 360 since I have enough AP to get the last trait on that and not the 385
That sounds reasonable, especially if you're just doing 10's SoB has like no value
and SS is insane
5 target patchwerk 40s is what I usually use to sim M+
you have to factor in boss dmg too, especially tyrannical
and yeah i guess it depends on how high of a key
SoB is also garbage on ST
sure but +30 ilvl of agility isnt
I mean yeah you lose like 2% on boss dps, but you gain like 5% on aoe, which is the majority of the dungeon
it would be a very minor ST damage loss for a massive buff to trash damage
even on tyrannical trash is what matters most
well if it's 5% vs 2% then yes sure
SS is just ridiculously ahead of everything else in M+
ill have to try some more sims
for me it would be archive rather than sob tho
or battlefield focus i guess
would prefer to just finally get a 385 ss shoulder or helm sigh...
I did managed to get a 385 SS shoulder...but it also has inevitability on it so I have it set to that now because I wanted to play some sub
i only have the fetid chest with ss but until i get at least 1 more piece its hard to justify over outlaw
in my gear setup Sub is actually simming slightly higher than Assassin because my 2 385 pieces have 2 BiS Sub traits, but Assassin is way easyer to play
for m+
need more sub practice
for raid sin is better for a lot of fights even if sub sims slightly higher just because sub is so bad on 2-3 targets
compared to sin
which is a lot of uldir
yeah, I did Vectis for the first time as Sub and I didn't like it
Hello guys, I am a sin rogue but i keep getting very low parses, I follow the rotation in the ravenholdt guide, have 2xSS with ExS build and overall i don't really know why my DPS is so low... I always keep in mind not to overwrite a stealthed Garrote and try to pool energy before envenoming... I don't know what i'm missing, could someone lend me a hand or give me some pointers on how to read my logs so i can find out my weaknesses? Thanks https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/35452714
you're like 10 ilvl behind to parses and your kill times are a little long for starters
You're supposed to pool before envenom?
No you dont have to
So i can get 2 mutilates in the window of the finisher proc? I thought that was the idea
and if i do a "lookup by ilvl" im still in 60 percentile in some bosses which i consider pretty low
the "by ilvl" option is looking at an ilvl window I might be behind?
ilvl parses are weird
people mainly look at overall
although the new weighted dps one is cool if that actually works
@low palm take off that raid trinket man and try to get a galecaller
is Suffocation still worth it after the nerf. I see some saying do other traits and some say use it
in M+ is still destroys all other options
in raids it's still one of the top handful of traits
glad I have been keeping all version of azerite gear then. thanks.
U have to play with subterfuge and exs tho
and you probably need something like galecallers for the full combo to have it beat out something like double dose on ST
at least for me without galecallers DD is better
its not the best single target trait for raid
that really depends on your other gear and stuff but it's often outperformed by others
yeah, i have a 340 gale. need to spam that mythic+ for a better one though
Well I u want to aim for the best one it's ss
Hey i just recently switched to assa, how important are the azerite traits? Got 1x SS, is this enough to play assa effectively? Im mainly playing lower key m+
@round wadi i will try to get a galecaller, thanks
so SS needs the exsanguinate talent for full effectiveness?
Ss is the best overall, just not on patchwerk
So basically best on all the important bosses
Even If u look at Sims numbers ss is higher on patchwerk
How strong is overwhelming power?
I sim 18.4k with 2xSS A
and 17.9 with dd i think
"Important bosses" is basicly just g'huun, where ST in the last phase is really the only dps check
Man it doesn't
Ghuun isn't the only important boss
Just check herodmg
There's plenty of 6h/w guilds still progressing earlier bosses
Herodmg seems weird
x2 ss Sims higher then x2 dd
rates SS as one of the lowest traits of all
Just because all the 9-12h/w guilds are at ghuun doesn't mean it's the only important boss in the raid
Click on exsg
Riiight
If I sim my char with SS and exsg it sims lower than SS and TB, any idea what's causing that?
Not enough haste?
Probably or u just dont have gcb
Yea it does a lot
@round wadi There is literally no way to read herodamage where you get that SS is better than DD, unless you limit yourself to not playing tb
Wat
U just check the dmg of the default build with 2x DD
And then u check the ss dmg with exsg build
Pointless discussion, as exsg is just better in any non-pure st fight
hmm i seem to be simming quite a bit higher with subterfuge 2x SS traits and exang
over TB and DD
its like 500 dps difference xD
And only pure st fight is mother and taloc, the 2 easiest bosses
And even at mother ss exsg is so much better
Agreed
Aniway people can play whatever they prefer
simming at around 16.8k with tb and dd and simming 17.3k with SS and exang
for a 5 mins patchwerk
But don't say is stupid just cause u can't read it
🤷
Tb/dd is still good, just not at all versatile
Pulls slightly ahead on st on high gear levels i think
hmm think imma make the swap over too exang and try that out xD
if its simming higher then it will likelly be better for me i guess
You've been simming higher with exsg and running tb
i got a crap load of haste + 370 gcb though
Mad lad
nahh i just started simming higher coz i got a second SS trait yesterday
before that it was simming lower coz i only had 1 SS trait
31 haste with array
so i usually get 8-10 spot on dps but i still apperantly suck because my dps is around 10k and apperantly it should be much higher
whats your ilvl dpw ?
should be a little higher yeh could be a number of things wrong though
like stats traits talents or rotation
Post logs, hope someone cares to go through them
i checked that guide for talents and my talents are good
but one question toxic blade or the bleed faster thing
depends on your traits tbh
Check the 10 min discussion that happened just a moment ago
usually toxic blade unless your going full in on the exanguinate build
ok toxic blade
yeah it sims alot higher for me too grizzled
but i got 2x SS traits and 370 galecallers boon
so ive fully invested into the bleed build
if you have 2x shrouded suffocation traits
and a galecallers boon
and alot of haste
yes
if you dont have all those
then no
ya the only thing i could change is 2 shrouded suffocation
but honestly just sim yourself dpw
sims can tell you which talent set ups work best for you
i have no idea how to use sim XD
go to raidbots.com
@round wadi I guess you're right where herodamage shows SS as a larger increase, but what i meant is that the overall dps from going to TB/DD sims higher on ST. Im not arguing wether or not SS isnt useful in actual raid encounter but it does sim lower on pure ST. http://piclair.com/data/8txyz.jpg (https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9a6vxHLF6kWomYtmts7QUc)
its super simple
There's also a guide for how to sim in #rules-and-guides
so whats dd and what ss
Because you logged out as sub, download the simulationcraft addon
have
Then type /simc ingame and copy what you get, then paste it into raidbots
paste raidbots sounds complex XD
It's not
just realized it said i can do 18k dps
man i really suck
ya i can do a little more at 10k XD
you mean almost double my dps
nvm it says 13k for me XD
One helm has DD/heed, the other has SS/heed, one has a whirl/dd chest the other has a whirl/SS chest
Now im just gonna assume you're trolling
@strange python Keep in mind sims are done with full buffs and bloodlust
im using cowl of fluid machinations (mythic 8) no dd only ss
With pots, flasks/food. So trying on a dummy you will not be even close to 18k
oh
I'm not trolling but np
do you refresh bleeds right before exsg?
Yes
If rupture is under 22 seconds and only garrote if its is in pandemic
i used toxic blade all my rogue life
U simmed them with the same stats that are the stats that works best for tb
With dd
That's not a pure trait dps sim
I simmed with the default profile
There isnt much gear choices in uldir
Its the same as herodamage uses
thanks for teaching me how to us sim
we didnt teach you the guide in the link did 😛
but use that often its a very powerful tool as a dps player
comparing two 370 shoulders i have right now
Also there is barrely any difference between exsang and tb stats anyway. The only thing is that galecaller gives slightly more damage when using exsang
Yes, but not during pull
As you already got a garrote out of stealth from being in stealth on pull
i know not right away
arguing with a guildie over this, is it possible to get 5 garrotes out of stealth?
yes
No?
im saying 4 + 6 seconds waiting for other
Only 3
no, only 3
You can only do 3 in stealth, but you can have more up at the same time
:p
well 3 subterfuge and then 1 more since that doesnt go on CD
yes, you can do 4, but 4th one will not be empowered by the 80% of subterfuge
yea i know that much
the 4th one for me will
hes just saying that you can get 5 mobs
So unless you use vanish you can only get 3 from subterfuge
dpw no it wont its impossible
and i only got 808 haste (12%)
No you cant get 4 from subterfuge, you only have 3 seconds
no one can
And gcds is always 1s each
i have 21% haste and can still only get 3 out
it makes your bleeds tick faster
More energy
this whole time i thought i wanted mastery
nope
guys please make recommendations on how to improve this parse https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jgGra7c4f1DwdA9k#fight=6&type=damage-done im Balsaq
haste > crit is what ive gone with
alright so not possible to insta get 5 out froms tealth without CD happening, was thinking that maybe i was just misplaying this entire time
i just feel like i should be capable of 90+ and im following the guide on ravenholdt to a tee
i really dont want to chalk what i feel to be subpar parses up to just getting more gear
if anyone can provide fb id appreciate it
zas if its a big trash pull you can do your 3 garrote and vanish to get another 3 out after your crimson tempest
but without vanish your capped at 3 empowered garrotes +1 non empowered
nah you likely wont have the energy for another 3 right after the first 3
then 5-6
- you got 5 combo points that your sitting on
so you wanna spend those
or your losing dps
i usually do 3 garrote > CT > Garrote > Fan > Rupture
dunno if its best but just what i have gotten used to
same here
@paper bough Seems like you're not using TB nearly on cd, theoretically you should've been able to get 3 more of during that fight
Slightly less since its not a full ST boss, but atleast 1 or 2 more is def possible
ct
big pulls i tend to just spam CT over rupture
ill 3x garrote > CT pull a lil energy vanish 3x garrote > CT then FoK rupture spam
i know i need to work on that eleem, thanks for pointing out. i just feel like there has to be other shit going on
whats ct
that makes the difference between 78 and 90+
crimson tempest
unless it really is im just competing with a lot of geared people
oh
You def are, but also mythrax is more of a pad fight
so now i know aoe open whats single open :p
i dont think its good
I usually just going around rupturing and garrote the entire world
You can have groups where one/two people are the only ones that get to damage the adds (and therefore get much higher logs) in hc
@strange python Guide in the pins has openers
check that out
nice
it just feels awful topping damage and then getting a shit parse
Single opener is in guide like most things but from memory, Garrote, Mutilate, Rupture, vendetta, mutilate to 4+ envenom, toxic blade
i can alsmost guarentee i fuck up tb in that one too
when do i apply garrote and rupture right after its down or right before its down
is there any advantage to G,G ,R, vend, tb, envenom, mut, mut envenom, mut mut envenom versus G,R,G etc etc
usually about 4-5 seconds before it falls off dpw
ok imma try on a dummy
you want to always have your dots rolling
@strange python Scroll down in the pins and look for pandemic
them falling off costs you damage + energy
Its a mechinc you should be aware of
this looks much better than how the dh discord sounds XD
@paper bough what traits do you have? I have a rezan's fury and I was wondering myself, how much of an impact would have on the parse if I would have a better one... I mean other rogue has 1,5x garrote dmg compared to me while my rezan's fury is doing like 1/5 of the dmg of that difference
rezans fury is meh
i try to have 1 archive and 1 ss
In raids SS doesn’t matter as much, only for really big add fights.
and then last one is typically whatever my 385 azerite piece has
I would focus on DD or sim yourself on single target
is https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-azerite-traits-powers-and-armor reliable at all to know what traits are good
which i believe right now is dagger in the back
Ultimately though, you arent gonna get 99% parses with 372 when people are doing it with 385
i have more gear now im around 377
but i get ya
i just am really tough on myself and would like to be 90+
more often than not when i get beat i inspect the person and they are sporting more 285 azerite and have like 290 weapons
well, on ZekVoz my rogue pal has 2 SS and he has like 30% garrote dmg and 1/3 of that is from the second SS (compared to me who has 1 SS)...
i rarely inspect someone with less gear doing more damage
I was the same way, then I got all new azerite gear and changed nothing and it happened. Plus a lot of parses are just having the most optimal fight you can
Focus on using your toxic blades more often, you missed a cast on your mother fight aswell
sorry, I meant Vectis:D
vectis is weird i could use help there too i never know what to do with the add
kill it:)
do i swap and throw up garrote and rupture
refresh your dots on the boss
do i save vanish for it
then swap full to add
Depends on your raid damage
i usually save vanish so i can garrote boss + add with a big garrote
You can just dot it and keep focusing boss if it dies before 2:nd cast anyway, but if it doesnt you refresh your dots on boss then focus 100% on the add
Same with vanish saving, if it would die instantly because everyone else has cds there isnt really a point to save it
In tol dagor how do you open the second big gate without aggroing the mages?
Stand to the far right
Behind the pillar thing @fresh ginkgo
cause i cant parse on taloc for the life of me
@spice surge Derp ty
Taloc is hard cause of the elevator
stand on the right behind the little bit of wall @fresh ginkgo
saq you need RoA
then you can shroud and distract the guy standing at the door
and skip all that crap 😄
whats roa
reorigination array
also your fight on taloc was pretty long compared to alot of people with better parses
why not bloodmallet?

i use bloodmallet and then i sim like 2 million times
Because bloodmallet does only feature the default profile
eg SS looks like the worst trait because its simmed with MA
Whereas on herodamage they have a little icon next to ss indicating that its with subterfuge instead
i hate SS im an advocate for making it look bad
MA with DD is more relaxing hahah gets the same stuff done
and also, herodamage is maintainged by primarily rogues
hmmm 385 DITB or 370 SS for mythic plus asking here cause sims don't count the restealths any help?
370 ss
So it will always be the most accurate for rogues
100%
no SS opener feels super wierd to me now
mythic+ is ALWAYS ss 😦
i see np
yeah ss for m+
did u know that ? SS for m+
any other logs i can stare at? i dont wanna socialize with the person next to me
do we tb on cd even with 5 cp
if its before an envenom
also do i give any weight to the wcl mythic plus statistics that show outlaw reigning supreme above all other rogue specs between 70th and 80th percentile with sub winning out at 90+?
i only ask because some of my 385 azerite stuff is better suited to combat
i have no 385 SS stuff
so im kind of at a stand still until i get some
stuck in 370 shit
M+ is not only raw dps
when my overall is like 380
stub all i care about is #1 dps
i know thats not the right way to look at it
but idc
370 SS for M+ is good
you can take 370 SS over anything 385 for m+
^
my 2 385 pieces are dagger in the back so
ill use the Gonk outrunner SS shoulders (370) fetid chest (370 = 2 SS
and then my 385 dagger in the back head piece
unless 370 swirling sands is better
but i doubt it
and then for trinkets im working with 380 lustrous plumage, 385 deadeye spyglass, and 365 harlans, fathoms
guess which sim highest st
sims tell me fathoms and spyglass
but youre prob right cause i can control the usage of plumage
is that what you were thinking?
@jovial kite you still raiding? or nah
are we running CT this week or no
Sharpened Blades is my best ST trait on helm according to Sims but it just feels bad man when raiding with it. Anyone else use this trait?
@paper bough Yes, you TB even at 5cp if its ready
Why plumage over gcb?
Preferably you keep your energy and stay at 3/4 cp but sometimes thats not possible
Wasting that 1 or 2 cp is worth as you get a 30% bonus on envenom and you dont delay TB
guys question for you
(You can think of 1 cp as roughly 20% of an envenom, then its pretty clear that a 30% increased envenom is worth more)
i have 2 370 SS, for mythic + should i go with the 2 or 1 SS and 1 ditb 385?
2
2xSS
ss ftw
cool, thx
going from 1 to 2 SS is like getting a birthday cake
its so hard to sim for m+, my sim says poison bomb does more damage but I end up doing more with CT...whats the general go to build?
the build YOU do more damage with
I dont do damage with any build 
if you want to sim m+ : 1st check out hero damage to have an idea, 2nd sim 5t patchwerk 40sec (60-80sec for big pull fortified) removing buff, 3rd sim 1t patchwerk 2-3mn with lust for bosses
its just so easy
then with the result make your own idea
what do i look for on hero dmg
Does mastery affect double dose?
man, Fetid is funny. We have been wiping endlessly on it. Last night, clear trash, one-shot boss, done. So RNG on that fight with add spawns, breath direction, etc.
so does anyone use Sharpened Blades for prog?
34% haste with 10th stack of RoA, feels gooood
@desert vault makes sense. Thats usually how 1 phase fights go; struggle struggle struggle feel like no prog, then it dies
https://www.wowhead.com/spell=76803/mastery-potent-assassin @spice surge Dd is among affected spells, wording suggests the same
@delicate crater not by choice but if it sims best w your gear, yes they do
Apparently (and i havent confirmed so yknow) dd is phys dmg so is not effected by mastery or tb
Iirc i think i tried both ingame and with simc but neither got increased
But i think it gets the damage buff from tb, or atleast it does in simc
Idk though, i could check agian
In skada it is shown as green for nature dmg
Fair. I dont actually know i just member somebody in here saying it was phys
SB is like 100dps increase over my second best trait, but it just doesn't seem worth it, and I cant use it in the pull opener
I just hope Vectis gives me something this week, nothing from Fetid at least Vectis has bracers and head I still need
385 SS would have been nice from Fetid though
Get my 385 Archive, SS, and DD setup complete and call it a day
Ok im wrong, simc says DD scales from mastery
I remembered it not scaling because i thought it was wierd that it didnt, but apparently it does 🤷
hoping for some 2DD +Twist scale in 8.1
It is 100% poison damage
haste to 18% then crit mastery 🤔
Is there a date for 8.1 yet?
Dec 11, i think
Yes 11/12 december
But raid isnt included, raid is either the 9:th or 16:th jan (probably)
oh ok i was going to say if they were dropping the new raid that quick as well ...
Sure we can, it'd just be rude
jeez MA sims so much higher for me ... I was running it on Fetid and it was alright, but on Vectis SS/Subt has to be better for adds and all that
Not really
SS both
That's true I guess, I dunno I need to run some M+ and I'm not spending anymore money to reforge 😃
So SS it is!
Yeah its a pain to swap, its nearly 400 DPS lower than MA, but its w/e really
Why does TB gain value on aoe when I swap over from poison bomb to tempest? I would assume it to be even better with an extra bleed
Odd that nobody discusses the cadence of actions. It seems just as important as rotation to me. I picked up a good chunk of dps lastnight just paying attention to Elaborate Planning buff and trying to only build combo points during it.

Blizzard: Primary stats and ilvl will always be an upgrade
You must have little to no haste
16%
For me mastery, crit and agi are all better than haste
Mastery took over haste for me too but i swapped a haste gem for mastery and my sim went down
hey guys
is there a way on herodamage or bloodmallet
to check the trinkets at certain ilvl not every ilvl and check everyone?
each of the colors represent ilvls
so its kinda done already
just some visual clutter 🤷
Colours = Item levels
Or if it's a comparison of your own trinkets, you can just sim the difference for a definitive answer.
How do you guys use Exsang, do you use it like the opener, and rupture > garrote > rupture > exsang? Or just Rupture > Garrote > Exsang?
This is without vanish and vendetta
I just make sure rupture and garotte are both at as high a timer as possible
at what stat lvl is exsang = tb?
@tribal marlin whats 5t patchwerk?
@vocal wave Read the guide
@fickle idol I was wondering the same thing about the cadence of the fight. Was hoping to hear from some peeps
In stead of pressing buttons (in the correct order) as soon as there was enough energy to do so I pooled and waited until the energy pool was nearly full. It makes sense given the mechanicso of other dps classes
as you "ramp up" you're getting your bleeds out on more things you've poisoned and then getting energy back quicker allowing for the pace to increase as teh fight goes on
Exsang becomes better when it sims higher
I've heard from several others that pooling doesn't do anything unless you're running TB
Pooling to use your finisher and quickly build combo points while EP is still up was significantly increasing my dps
Guide only really explains the opener but has no other mention of exsang out of that @strange python
including garrote?
Cool like o didn't know if it was worth doing two ruptures to get it to max 31 secs or not
Yeah you want max
I was told don't worry about refreshing garrote, just smang a fresh rupt before a exang
d\idn't make a lot of sense to me, but I wasn't in anuy position to argue lol
that's basically what the sim does @dull osprey
afaik there hasn't been any sim where refreshing garrote to full pandemic regardless of time left is a gain
safe bet is to refresh Rupture if under 20s and refresh garrote if it's under or close to pandemic
So if the Garrote is <=5.4 sec refresh otherwise just refresh rupture and yolo?
What if I have 4 cp. Should I garrote to get the 5th point then rupt or just rupt at four for an exang?
Does feint work on the dmg from people room transitioning on Mother?
yeah
or do I have to talent it
It does not for some reason
wait really?
Y
It depends, usually it is considered aoe
I guess I hadn't noticed because I switched to feint over cheat death
helps my heals out a bit
It looks like the construct overcharger buff was updated on raidbots, can anybody confirm?
where do you see that buff
It is
It’s not posted, it was a stealth buff
Raidbots discord confirms
Haste portion of the trinket was buffed by like ~46%
this info is in the raidbot discord?
You can look at the trinket ingame. This reset it was buffed
No notes isnt unusual for such a small change
46 % is small o.o well lets see how good is it ty for info
Herodamage is updated
Yikes
zandalar emissary emissary cache waiting room 
how do you sim a specific boss
is there someone here very good with Macros ?
I cannot make macro it stops after Vanish it doesnt go any further in Cheap Shot ?!?! Anyone can help me ?
What
I assume you mean that Cheap Shot doesn't immediately cast after you use Vanish on your macro? Might be a targeting or combat issue.
I personally don't have many macros
@lone junco nighly or weekly?
I feel like my stats are really good for Outlaw but absolute trash for Sin. But I don't know if it's worth using OL over Sin for some fights just because of that reason tbh
I've already simmed myself
And it's put haste at 2.83 then Mastery and then agi at like 1.60
post raidbots of those weights
so does anyone think versatility will be useful in 8.1? I saw they added a bunch of vers multipliers to specific traits and I'm wondering if that will affect stat priorities
YES! With the buff to the trinket, I"m now above 16k lol
@cerulean depot ur sockets and 2x double dose are disgusting
The sockets are the most awful thing about @cerulean depot 😃

This is ST
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/481138233254739980/510124254101110784/unknown.png
This is cleave. Did this before
This was set up for my OL set before, hence the crit and vers gems and enchants. But even before I tried going full OL with crit and Vers, with this same gear, I was still simming haste WAY above the rest.
I can resim the cleave one and see if it's changed since I got a piece of gear earlier
@vestal wren I would never use Weekly on purpose. But, im also pretty high on the haste profile, so its probably just not a gain in that current setup. Ill check with my full bank of gear tonight.
Why would even sim cleave
I mean you can ignore cleave, the ST is still up there regardless
I was using that for my OL since it was simming higher, but as I said before, when I was using enchants and gems suited for Sin at the time, the simmed stat weights didn't change much
Haste was still over 0.5 ahead of agi even back then
Have you tried simming Toxic Blade
Lemme give that a goi
fun fact. My white crits are like 5500 which is = a rupture tick crit. I guess thats how they planned to keep things balanced.
I run elusiveness while out and about because I'm in War Mode
Main issue is, do you think these stat weights can translate into poorer than usual dps as Sin, vs OL (where the stats are actually really really good) even on fights where Sin would usually perform better?
Gutripper
3/3 gutripper
Or do you think, regardless of stats, Sin should outperform OL on the fights where it usually does outperform
idk sim it
So is the reason exang build sims higher for me because I have high haste and x2 SS?
This week we realized you can melee Mother through the wall
NAni?
Yeah you can
hey , i would like to ask between 3 trinkets : 380 Harlan , 380 lustrous , 370 dooms wake ( simdps gives random numbers every sim)
idk about random numbers, but I would say harlans and dooms, based on passed experience, but I'm not up to date
if sims are close play what u want
but i always like having 1 random proc trinket
I know that Harlans is tasty af so I would say the other two are conditiona;
id go lust for vendetta windows
I don't have a terrible ilvl, why am I so low under some of the other people I've seen
is my gear just not optimized correctly?
trash trinkets
fair
Traits are okay but there are better
Been trying to get a harlans
Get Fathoms
I was about to say, I fell into the trap of not switching off SS too
I haven't gotten any gear that has double does that isn't 15 ilvls below
Been looking for it since the nerf
Sharpened Blades, Rezans Fury, Dagger in the back (kinda shitty though)
but I've also not be hardcore farming m+
I mean 8.1 is coming soon. Traits will change. I wouldn't freak out too much
Change as in what

I am assuming 😛
There are like only 2 new traits to sin coming
And some of the current ones are going to scale with versa
Which will make them a little bit better
I can't imagine that more PTR builds won't happen, but then again, 8.1 is a month away
@strange python So I should keep my eye out for 370 level DD gear to replace SS/exang build and replace my shite trinkets asap?
Yes
Thanks for the help! ^_^
does anyone have a recomendation for a WA that helps you refresh garrote/rupture on singletarget? on my hunter I used to have a WA that would light up when it was time to use dire frenzy to maximize the uptime. is there something similar for assass ?

We did it boys!
why does it make a difference on which dagger I put my crit and my haste enchant?
how much of a difference is it
congrats @prime stirrup
Your mainhand is less likely to miss its target, which should mean more procs from enchant. Placing your highest stat weighted enchant on mh is always the right move
Dont put the small ilvl in main hand
I would leave highest ilvl dag on mh. youre wep dps should be something like 10-12 dps per ilvl which is more valuable than the socket
385 socket is huge, but 390 is more dmg in main hand.
my 355 socket beats 370 non, for offhand.
which is depressing
Run a stat weight sim, you will see how valuable wep ilvl is in mh vs oh. Its very large, like 11 dps vs 1.5 ish on off hand
The difference is literally
3dps
It doesn't matter in which hand u got the enchants
Yeah the difference could just be chalked up to simulation error
Its exactly the same
Nah he just did it wrong
what did I do wrong in my sim?
I mean the 3 dps difference
It absolutely could be that @strange python
Its just sim variance
Indi
nothing, all sims have a margin of error
His difference was 150dps or so
But you know why?
Because he compared his 385socketed offhand to 385 no socket

So there is no difference
anyone got a link for some rogue macros i dont feel like making my own
What macros
specifically for pvp i have all 3 blind macros uh step kick etc
just want to see if theres any im missing
sure
thanks
Just got 2x Scalpel 370ilvl(normal loot and bonus roll) from the MOTHER after wearing 345 ilvl daggers since we started doing that raid. 😄
using 355 dagger from zul and 350 from +4 freehold
is there an out of invis opener that is most optimal?
like for fetid i need to open on adds not starting from invis
do i just gar anyway? or just start from vanish?
that make no sense for me
for fetid you save 2 min cd's until adds. i cant start from invis but i have all my cds up and full energy ussually.
when i go to add phase
ill just find someones logs dw
@haughty lily Zed says he misses you 😦
😄
@haughty lily 💋
deadly sim lower for anyone else? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pHZpJ4LMxosZt23KjciPik
The difference is 3 dps
Which means that its within the error range (0.05%) so if you run the sim again it can show 3 dps the other way
Anything that close is essentially equal
got ya, thx
ignore the player error while we are at it. cause that is just depressing.
@haughty lily your opener would only change if youre running subterfuge, otherwise its the same
And yes, you would vanish if youre dpsing the mass
Which would make it the same opener
ight sounds good thanks 😃
my stat weighs rn is Haste
2.02
Agility
1.89
Critical Strike
1.81
how can i sim same dps with crit enchant on rings as with haste enchant if thats my simmed stat weight?
Fun fact:
did you know. stat weights are "Additional" stats.
so when you take away Crit enchant and add Haste enchant, that is not using stat weights.
Top gear tool has enchant buttons at the bottom, to swap all from crit to haste.
so when it comes to M+ the goal is to get high crit and mastery, then on trash pulls, im assuming get garrote on 3 targets then rupture on as many while maintaining crimson tempest
do people still run Subterfuge without SS?
yeah i do - MA and subterfuge sim the same for me without SS, so I take subterfuge so I can vanish garrote adds for extra damage (the thought being that subterfuge scales better than MA for multi target)
thats where I am: Subt and MA simming within .01 of each other but it's telling me to use a 375 Poison Wire item over a 370 SS
how much dps diff? might be worth just using SS for better aoe/cleave value
The one time I speced MA and none of my envenom crit in the windows I knew I was done with it.
idk if this is a question allowed or of relevance but whenis the best time to use Vnedetta on G'huun Mythic?
You can use on pull too yeah
Pull on the young something
Then when Ghuun comes out
And then when the 2nd beam is activated which brings ghuun to 20%
think he'll die too quick if i focuz the young
Then vendetta on the small worms or something
Alright, thanks man
I usually just sign up to run orbs on ghuun
anyone here good with logs? i'm a warrior main with some ass rogue questions. would love someone to DM me who is.
Because I dont like phase 1
@dusty wigeon don't do that
Vendetting the 3rd beam that brings him to 20% is very bad, you need vendetta for lust p3
so whats the plan? 😄
On pull, when 2nd beam happens (1st in p2) and in last phase
