lunar jolt
#

does it

pastel vault
#

1st vanish on 3rd dark young cast buff, then before every vendetta

dusty wigeon
#

ty

lunar jolt
#

is there is difference between main and offhand enchant on the proc ?

strange python
#

No

lunar jolt
#

why does raidbots says otherwise ?

strange python
#

3dps?

distant mesa
dusty wigeon
#

gear then stats

#

until like 350 ilvl

#

then go for stats

lunar jolt
#

mmh

keen spruce
#

@hidden anchor what's your rogue's name?

hidden anchor
#

Vöyd

#

I was looking at my Vectis fight in particular and trying to compare my unclean burst windows to Seldom's parse.

keen spruce
#

I normally just look at fetid kills, but vectis is pretty good too

#

wait mythic vectis

#

or heroic?

hidden anchor
#

mythic

#

rogue is still somewhat fresh. only 4 array stacks

#

377 ilvl

keen spruce
#

I'm only 1/8 m cuz i'm in a friend guild but i'm kind of a parse slut if you wanna compare anything. I run MA not subterfuge though

#

on vectis your opener is wrong

#

you TB on 0 combo points then immediately envenomed

#

Then you mute

#

and then nothing for many seconds peepostudy

#

unless this log is missing something

keen spruce
#

I don't see vendetta or antyhing appearing

hidden anchor
#

Are we looking at the same log?

keen spruce
#

apparently not

#

this looks way better

hidden anchor
#

lol

keen spruce
#

well it's the same log

#

but something is fucky

#

with the one I pulled

#

GCD locked here and missed an envenom

#

only need 2 garrotes on vanish

hidden anchor
#

triple garrote no good

#

yup

keen spruce
#

I mean the rests looks pretty okay

#

without going through it line by line everything is basically where it should be as long asy our'e not dropping bleeds

#

make sure you garrote and rupture the add

hidden anchor
#

i'm wondering if i'm just not keeping rupture/garrote up on the adds

keen spruce
#

then get back on the boss

hidden anchor
#

back on boss? shouldn't i be killing the add?

spice flicker
#

yo, as a opener on single target, whats better? g-r-g-vendetta-m-rupture-sang, or g-r-g-m-r-vendetta etc?

keen spruce
#

yeah there's a lot of parse padding tricks on most fights. Fetid and taloc are a little easier to just look at parses

#

oh I guess on mythic

#

yeah you gotta actually do your job

#

just make sure dots dont' drop on the boss

#

while burning the add

hidden anchor
#

lol

#

do you let empowered bleeds fall off?

#

there have been times where my rupture has like 2 seconds left and i have 5 combo points

keen spruce
#

only your garrote will be empowered

#

but yeah

hidden anchor
#

like, an exsang rupture

#

sorry

keen spruce
#

oh yeah exang

#

let them burn all the way down

#

you can just sit on 5 cp

#

if your'e not energy capped

#

worst case scenario is you have to envenom, mute, rupture

hidden anchor
#

don't cast anything and just wait?

keen spruce
#

then mute mute rupture

#

yeah like if you're at 10 energy

#

and you have 5 cp

#

you can just chill

#

if it means lining up your refreshes/cds better

spice flicker
#

yo, as a opener on single target(rb), whats better? g-r-g-vendetta-m-rupture-sang, or g-r-g-m-r-vendetta etc?

keen spruce
#

pooling isn't super important anymore but there's a few places where it's really handy

#

@spice flicker subterfuge or MA?

spice flicker
#

sub

keen spruce
#

The link in the pins should have the full opener

#

for all talent setups

#

I don't play with sub anymore

spice flicker
#

this guide says vendetta after 2nd garotte but the method guide says vendetta after 2nd rupture

keen spruce
#

but I think it's the first one

spice flicker
#

is MA better than sub?

keen spruce
#

it depends on your traits and your gear

#

I run MA once I dropped all of my SS traits

#

sims a teenie bit higher

spice flicker
#

i see

#

also

#

should I always

#

keep sang for the trinket? galecaller?

keen spruce
#

@hidden anchor if you're guys are in mythic progress still I wouldn't worry too much about parsing

spice flicker
#

or should I use em both

#

off cd

keen spruce
#

looks like your'e doing most things right

#

so the way the timing works

hidden anchor
#

it's not progress, just an alt

keen spruce
#

oh i mean things still look okay

#

it may just be stat weights and traits

hidden anchor
#

4 array stacks :/

keen spruce
#

that too lol

#

haste is big nuts for assa

#

Also besides like fetid and taloc

hidden anchor
#

yeah, and i'm missing 450 haste

#

lol

keen spruce
#

assa parsing is mostly about ignorning as many mechanics as possible with feint and cloak

hidden anchor
#

that's like 1k dps

keen spruce
#

and cheesing a little AoE here and there

hidden anchor
#

meh, not worried about parsing, just looking for areas of improvement

#

parsing comes along with improvement

keen spruce
#

yeah I'd say just a couple mistakes that you probably already saw

#

Assa is pretty simple

#

for the most part

#

just a little nuance with exang and how your refresh stuff

#

but that's not gonna make or break a pull

#

@spice flicker they line up almost 2:1

#

so you GC and exang on pull

#

then you'll get an exang off on CD

empty lintel
#

does scent of blood stack?

keen spruce
#

then wait on the next one to line up with GC

spice flicker
#

i see

#

ok

#

just found out on fetid M u can cloak the big debuff

#

feels good man

#

it does (scent question)

marsh bloom
#

Why is assassination so much better than sub for Vectis?

#

@empty lintel yes

austere spade
#

dot cleaving

empty lintel
#

oooo

keen spruce
#

sub's single target damage scales off of the cleave

#

hence why they're so good on zul

#

vectis is only one add at a time

#

assa can just multi dot then continue doing their normal ST rotation

hidden anchor
#

Do you toxic blade if you have 4+ points?

keen spruce
#

yeah

#

4

#

not 5

#

those are spots where you try to just plan ahead to avoid awkwardness

hidden anchor
#

With 5, you rupture/envenom, then blade

marsh bloom
#

you can TB with 5 points

keen spruce
#

yeah env -> TB vs TB -> env

#

is pretty close

#

fairly close*

#

so it's not gonna totally mess you up

#

if you're forced to env

spice flicker
#

i mean, u lose 1 cp but u gain 30% increase dmg on env and poisons

keen spruce
#

ENV buffs your TB

marsh bloom
#

cause theres like a ~40% chase you'll overcap points anyway

keen spruce
#

pretty sure the lost CP or two is gonna be a bigger dps loss than getting the TB off before env

#

but again, most of that can be avoided

#

just by planning ahead

marsh bloom
#

you don't know if you overcap though

keen spruce
#

outside of very unfortunate crits or lack of

marsh bloom
#

if you tb first

#

ah

#

"unfortunate crits"

keen spruce
#

"unfortunate"

marsh bloom
#

FUCK I JUST CRIT 3 TIMES IN A ROW

#

WTF

keen spruce
#

that shit's gonna get quoted out of context

marsh bloom
#

I know lol

#

that's why it's funny]

#

but vectis is really the only boss where sin beats sub right?

#

because of there multi dotting

#

well and Fetid

keen spruce
#

Mother probably too

#

but sub is useful

#

for dance cheaps

#

on adds

#

I dunno I don't play sub so i'm not sure which other fights they're close on

sand notch
#

Did they do something to construct overcharger? It's simming higher for me today..

marsh bloom
#

Sub is better than sin for mother

#

I play all 3 specs lol

#

so azerite pieces get... difficult

keen spruce
#

looks like assa is generally better on taloc

#

looking at top numbers

#

all sub/outlaw on mother

#

assa fetid

marsh bloom
#

yea for fetid

keen spruce
#

outlaw for zek

marsh bloom
#

and vectis

#

sin

#

any aoe fight outlaw will win

#

unless it's insane aoe

#

then sub

keen spruce
#

outlaw/assa for myth

#

and ghuun parses mean nothing

#

so it looks like all 3 have a nice niche

#

which is nice PeepoThumb

marsh bloom
#

lol

#

I don't know which one to play

#

UGH

#

Like you're forced to go sin for vectis lmao

#

top parse doesn't have reorrigination

#

nvm

keen spruce
#

still a lot of SS on top parses

marsh bloom
#

does damage to the add matter that much on mythic?

#

cause for damage to boss sub/sin is best

strange python
#

You have to kill the add

#

Or wipe

empty lintel
#

so say i have 3 combo points do i throw a knife then toxic blade then envenom/rupture?

strange python
#

No

#

You mutilate

marsh bloom
#

Never throw the knife

#

lol

empty lintel
#

i feel like mutilating nonstop is so ass

marsh bloom
#

thats Sin for ya

strange python
#

Throw knife only if u have the trait

empty lintel
#

that trait is cheeseball id never

strange python
#

if u are at 3 combo

#

U can refresh garrote

#

But only when pandemic

#

And then envenom / rupture

#

But never throw knife

hidden anchor
#

You don’t even throw knife while you’re running to the boss?

#

Like fetid

fluid drift
#

not unless you're energy capped

strange python
#

You can then

#

But never when you're in melee range

#

You can throw knife at Shark boss at freehold

marsh bloom
#

just play outlaw

#

you can hit the boss while he does nis tornado

hidden anchor
#

Instinct is to always be doing something.

empty lintel
#

pvp wise couldnt i use it to keep poisons up?

strange python
#

For sure

fluid drift
#

also if you have 3 CPs and toxic blade up, you just toxic blade...(which can crit)

strange python
#

But this is mainly PvE channel

empty lintel
#

oh it is? rip my bad

strange python
#

No u can talk about pvp

marsh bloom
#

pvp channel is mostly assassin anyways

#

and yea you can talk pvp in here

#

strange python
#

But most pvp people are in #pvp

empty lintel
#

one dude said i was terrible at rogue the other day so i dedicated my entire wow experience to getting good at rogues lmao

marsh bloom
#

I kill Mythic Zul today c:

keen spruce
#

nice!

marsh bloom
#

1/8M ❤

keen spruce
#

yeah never throw knives though peepostudy

#

unless you're chasing something

#

and you're capped on energy

strange python
#

++++++

keen spruce
#

if you throw too many knives, when you catch your target

steep obsidian
#

taoloc aint a mythic boss tho

keen spruce
#

you'll hve no energy to hit him with useful spells peepoHands

marsh bloom
#

I killed Zul today

#

I'm 1/8M

#

@steep obsidian

steep obsidian
#

wut

marsh bloom
#

you said taloc aint a mythic boxx tho

steep obsidian
#

its tru

marsh bloom
#

boss

#

when I never mentioned taloc

steep obsidian
#

you said 1/8M

keen spruce
#

He just killed zul

marsh bloom
#

before that I said I killed mythic zul today

steep obsidian
#

oh lol

#

hurr durr

marsh bloom
#

lol

steep obsidian
#

you should kill taloc

#

he free loot

keen spruce
#

our taloc mythic "prgoression" was 2 shotting it with 18 people

steep obsidian
#

we have never wiped on taloc

#

and we are prtty special

marsh bloom
#

we only had 4 rogues

keen spruce
#

we have very bad raiders peepo

marsh bloom
#

when we killed it

#

OH TALOC

#

LOL

keen spruce
#

grey parses everywhere

#

in heroic

#

all week

steep obsidian
#

although the only reason we wipe on mother is coz for some reason he chases our paladin tank who never even hit the boss through the wall

marsh bloom
#

I've never seen any mythic boss except for Zul

cold dragon
#

Is there a list of popular M+ streamers soemwhere

marsh bloom
#

and zek'voz a couple of times

civic palm
#

There's an issue with taunting the adds and it applying to the boss as well.

steep obsidian
#

zek'voz is kinda fun

marsh bloom
#

Outlaw isn't lol

#

You just KS and thats where all your damage comes from

#

literally lmao

steep obsidian
#

this week though people annoyed me at like 5% soak in the middle of the shadow pool thing stand in it ready to cloak some idiot takes the eybeam there and kills raid reee

#

i think next raid will be more fun with this one

#

bosses are fucking shit for melee

#

fetid mythic makes me want to just go stand in a corner and afk

#

coz our melee jsut fuckin dance around everywhere

marsh bloom
#

I can imagine that

steep obsidian
#

its so bad

#

we did a lot of prog with 7 or 8 mellee

#

not fun in the slightest

spice flicker
#

yo, where can I find some logs on assa rogue on mythic bosses?

#

we're doing progress on fetid with 8 melee D_D

#

cancer

steep obsidian
#

just have someone play a shitty ranged alt

#

you will kill it faster

spice flicker
#

people are already lvling alts

steep obsidian
#

more then 6 melee is a fucking nightmare

#

even with 6 its annoying as hell if people are selfish

spice flicker
#

anyway, where can I find some logs on assa rogue on mythic bosses?

#

true dat. luckily as a rogue we can cloak the big debuff

cold dragon
#

Yeah, you're not gonna do fetid with 8 melee

spice flicker
#

so we can get more time on boss/blops ez

cold dragon
#

What are you looking for in logs @spice flicker ?

spice flicker
#

rotations

#

the way they used cds

#

stuff like that

cold dragon
#

I used 1st vend on boss, then 2nd on big add

#

Really depends on your groups damage on adds where u should use urs

spice flicker
#

i'll have a look at it

#

thanks

cold dragon
#

Yeah, also dont worry too much about going exsang build if your group is killing adds. I went MA with Toxic Blade which boosted my dps quite a bit

cold dragon
#

Yeah look there too. I thought a progression kill would give a better comparison than a farm top parse

steep obsidian
#

xsang is extremely good for killling the mass

#

espec if you have a galecallers

#

you can carry a fair bit

cold dragon
#

Unless your group kills it before your dots run out. I would press exsang and shit would be dead

steep obsidian
#

if you are on the mass

#

there is no way your group kills it before the dots run out

cold dragon
#

Oh yeah, I was on small adds

#

We switch once those are dead

#

we had like 3 afflics on mas

steep obsidian
#

we assigned a few to tunn it

#

like just saved vendetta for 2 adds

#

but we sucked at killing them mostly

marsh bloom
spice flicker
#

i am

#

why does he env

#

with 1 cp?

#

2nd env

#

he also opens with g-g-rupture?

cold dragon
#

Go look at ravenholdt guide for Sin

spice flicker
#

already did lol

#

opener= g-r-g

cold dragon
#

Its for max duration dots for exsang

spice flicker
#

not g-g-r

cold dragon
#

its a minor difference. makes refreshing them not waste ticks when they run out

marsh bloom
#

not just for exsg

#

it's max dots if you're using Subterfuge

#

with SS

cold dragon
#

yeah yeah

spice flicker
#

so why does the guide on ravenhold say g-r-g if g-g-r is better?

#

xD

#

am I stupid or...i dont get it

cold dragon
#

some people do it this way, its a tiny difference

spice flicker
#

ok

#

but then

#

whats with the 1cp env?

#

why?

#

2nd envenom

#

was it a mistake or?

cold dragon
#

how do u check c points?

#

oh

spice flicker
#

u can just see

#

he envenoms, garrotes and then env after again

cold dragon
#

likely a mistake? thats my only guess

marsh bloom
#

he did a 4point env @spice flicker

spice flicker
#

how was that a 4cp?

marsh bloom
#

he gained 4 cp from that one mut

spice flicker
#

wait

#

lemme look

marsh bloom
#

Resources Combo points

#

at 8.4 seconds he gains 4 combo points

#

offhand and mainhand crit

spice flicker
#

i swear to god on mine

#

i dont see

#

any mutilates

#

on my

#

graph

marsh bloom
#

idk

spice flicker
#

i see at 5:6

#

a mutilate

#

then at 9:7 a env

#

then garotte and env

keen spruce
#

click on that

#

if you just click timelines it get's all fucky

fluid drift
#

he does do a single vanish garrote -> envenom -> garrote at 0:17 though, and the envenom was with 3 combo points

#

guess he didn't want to overcap 1 CP with double garrote...but 3 CP envenom is questionable

spice flicker
#

oh

#

festive

#

that helps a lot more

#

lol

#

im stooped XD

#

@fluid drift yo

#

where was the 3rd

#

cp from?

#

he only garottes once

#

and he env be4 that garotte

#

wait

#

IMioebaijbed

#

im stupid

#

yea

#

3 cp

fluid drift
#

yeah he has SS

spice flicker
#

yeah, i forgot

#

what he did there

#

wasnt the best option

#

was it?

#

should've g twice or muti before env, right?

#

he does that twice there

fluid drift
#

you cant garrote muti env cause youd lose the 2nd garrote

spice flicker
#

3cp env

#

so g-g-env is better

fluid drift
#

but you can do mut vanish garrote envenom garrote or what you said

#

g-g-env can be better if you need vanish on cd 1-2 seconds earlier, but i imagine you could prepare for it better and vanish just as the initial empowered garrote falls off

jaunty ginkgo
#

can night elves use shadow

#

meld as another vanish?

dark crag
#

Yes

keen spruce
#

you gotta remember too that top parses don't mean perfect play

#

or perfect gear

#

just highest damage

#

people still gonna fuck up

fluid drift
#

yeah a single 3 CP env not gonna change dps much overall

dark crag
#

Top parses often mean best case scenario, luck or cheese

velvet kernel
#

Well I don’t think many are looking for 100 logs

#

Just 99

#

And that’s easy

keen spruce
#

99 on most fights just take a few ignored mechanics and a little luck

dark crag
#

100% is rank 1, 99% is top

velvet kernel
#

Does it take luck ?

civic palm
#

Takes the fucking stars aligning.

velvet kernel
#

.....

#

To get 99

#

?

jovial kite
#

Theyve aligned for me plenty

#

Am i in favour of the gods

velvet kernel
#

Same I guess

civic palm
#

100% take alignment, 99% is way easier.

velvet kernel
#

99 is gigs easy

keen spruce
#

99 is not hard

velvet kernel
#

Giga

keen spruce
#

100 takes lots of luck

#

100 quite hard for rogues

#

too many of us peepostudy

#

very competative

velvet kernel
#

Hmm

#

Then what about aff locks ?

keen spruce
#

kind of the same

#

aff is way harder than assa

velvet kernel
#

Harder

keen spruce
#

to play

velvet kernel
#

Aff is not hard to play

spice sorrel
#

you think it's worth dropping a 385 archive for a 355 SS in m+? I only have 1 SS atm and that is my only archive

keen spruce
#

harder than assa

velvet kernel
#

I would say it’s the same lol

#

Cause neither are hard

keen spruce
#

I feel like stooge playing warlock

velvet kernel
#

Lol

keen spruce
#

granted i'm like <360 ilvl

#

but still PupperKEK

jovial kite
#

I think i have 5 or 6 100%

keen spruce
jovial kite
#

Thank

drifting elbow
#

my lord

#

thats low parses as aff

grand trail
#

can someone look at it

#

is really this chest better than all other uldir chests ?:D

dark crag
#

Yes

placid elbow
#

I think the parses on Zek Voz is lame

dark crag
#

Ditb is not bad and stacking archive is not that good

placid elbow
#

I have to do so much extra work lol but once i figured out how to inflate my numbers, parse99 full time lol

dark crag
#

And what do you do?

placid elbow
#

ooo

#

apparently

#

Open the fight as you normally would but save your Vanish

#

as soon as the 3rd eyebeam ends, give it like 5 seconds, Vanish, adds will spawn. Garrote Zek, one of the small adds and the Warrior.

#

FOK>Envenom spam

#

lol

fierce heath
#

Would someone mind taking a look at my logs and seeing what I'm maybe doing wrong

#

or how to improve?

strange python
#

18k club with still hc dagger 😭

vocal harbor
#

is toxic blade build decent for m+?

fierce heath
#

I use 1 HC dagger and 1 M+ dagger. Probably why parses are so bad lol

mystic marten
#

what are the current BiS traits?

fierce heath
mystic marten
#

sweet

placid elbow
#

wtfffff

mystic marten
#

So, the sims still say two archives, I take it that is still really good?

placid elbow
#

385 Construct simming higher than my 370 Harlans

#

HMMMM

vocal harbor
#

i've got a 385 socketed construct and a 375 socketed harlans

#

i can finally replace fathoms

fierce heath
#

Construct sims terribly for me

placid elbow
#

I would love to get rid of fathoms

#

but

#

the anchors stronk

vocal harbor
#

anchors are indeed stronk

placid elbow
#

Did they buff Construct?

trim gull
#

I think construct is a bit weak for me too

strange python
#

nope @fierce heath u can get a decent parse with hc dagger too but its not the same feelywheely

fierce heath
#

I don't hate the parses, they just feel weak.

placid elbow
#

wth lol

#

o well

#

i'll test out construct in raid and see how it goes haha

trim gull
#

my parses are such crap compared to you @fierce heath

#

hah

strange python
#

xD

fierce heath
#

My parses are before plumage

strange python
#

but it feels rly bad

#

after 8 weeks mythic content

fierce heath
#

so they are with 385 overcharger and fathoms

strange python
#

zero daggers

fierce heath
#

I'm 0/12 for loot on mythic mother.

placid elbow
#

i got 385 dagger drop from mother and used a seal and got another

#

lul

#

#TheDream

strange python
#

i sealed every week

#

and zul too later on

#

that 375 socked daggers :x

vocal harbor
#

envenom scales with our mastery right?

forest grotto
#

envenom is nature damage mastery scales poison and bleeds

strange python
#

try urself .. put ring with mastery on and off

#

and check envenom tooltip

vocal harbor
#

oh dang, i thought it might cuz after switching to TB build, stat weights are saying i need way more mastery

#

which i thought was only for exsang build

placid elbow
#

yeaaa, don't lower your mastery too much

#

i've found that 18-20% haste is a good spot for rogues, seems to be when Statweights will start preferring another stat.

strange python
#

low mastery feels on exsang bad too, maybe its only my opinion but everything under 25% bleeds feels like a decoration

placid elbow
#

You're not wrong, under 25% mastery, dps feels like dogshit

#

doesn't matter how much haste you have haha

strange python
#

1,1k haste 1k crit 715 mastery on raidsetup

brisk raptor
#

715? what % u have?

strange python
#

30%

brisk raptor
#

mmmm

spark ermine
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.

placid elbow
#

i'm 32% mastery

#

23% Crit and 19% haste

strange python
#

i am on 25% crit, but i wont lower my crit lvl

#

maybe i should test next week 22%crit 20%haste 27%m ..mutilate crits would never been happen xD

subtle root
#

23% crit, 18% haste, 32% mastery

paper bough
#

no answer in #pvp so trying here, anyone have any general idea of which assa traits are bis in 2v2 and 3v3?

strange python
#

one SS

#

2x scent

paper bough
#

sick i have no scent whatsoever

spice surge
#

Or go double battlefield precision/focus, half of the games you'll win just because of it

#

It does insane damage but has low proc rate, so if it proccs its ez. Otherwise its hard

paper bough
#

how is dagger in the back?

#

i have some 385 stuff with that

strange python
#

yeah alternatives are these two pvp traits

#

i dont know but i think it wouldnt be the best thing, uve to pray for procs at least in ur dmg window

spice surge
#

Yeah hence why i said it wins half the time and doesnt the other half

vague patrol
#

ss/archive/scent/battlefield focus

spice surge
#

If it proccs during your dmg windows you just slice everybody. My 385 and 370 does like 50-60k in one procc if i have vendetta up

#

Which takes like 5 seconds to procc all of it 🤔

strange python
#

ive only 1 scence item too .. spoulders ... recommended a second one :x

#

wanna test/run 2x 1xss for m+

vocal harbor
#

should we worry about refreshing rupture during toxic blade?

strange python
#

mostly i am playing exs/ct .. and maybe i am wrong but on decent pulls there is no use for tb :x u need dat globals for rupturing ? 😄

glass atlas
#

guys, i am really confused, when should i use exanguinate over toxic blade?

strange python
#

hm its up to yours i think, at least u need one ss trait

snow loom
#

If I'm at 4 of 5 CP with Toxic Blade about to be off cooldown, should I go ahead and Envenom, or TB and potentially waste a CP?

spice surge
#

TB

glass atlas
#

@strange python so lack of ss trait, go with exanguinate?

strange python
#

and mostly exs isnt used for sickkkk bursts .. it helps u on trash pulls

spice surge
#

As empowering envenom by 30% is worth wasting 20% of an envenom (1cp)

strange python
#

to spread ur bleeds

#

and energy regn

snow loom
#

Fair -- that's what I figured. Thanks @spice surge

strange python
#

there is no way to play without SS :p

#

at least one trait .. and 2xarchive or 2x scent

#

i am running 2xSS 1xarchive

#

cause the game is the finest gear rng fiesta :X

glass atlas
#

damn then i am really screwed until i get that ss trait

strange python
#

any1 playing with mfd in m+ ?

vocal harbor
#

tb just sims higher for me atm, so that's why i'm using it @strange python

#

i'm just wondering if TB is active on boss, and rupture is close to falling off, should i bother refreshing?

#

or just go for another envenom with TB buff

strange python
#

hm ive to sim

#

but i mean tb was stonger

#

on my current gear state

#

listen to ur hearth and feel the next mut crit

#

@vocal harbor Refresh garrote prior

vocal harbor
#

yeah but what about rupture

strange python
#

:c

vocal harbor
#

do i bother using CP on rupture during TB

strange python
#

yeah whats about rupture

#

xD

#

Oh my bad

#

Refresh garrote and rupture prior

vocal harbor
#

oh okay

#

regardless of remaining duration?

strange python
#

jap

#

no bleeds no energygain

#

Yeah but like

#

If u see rupture and garrote falling off before TB

#

u dont have to rupture full CP

#

just like 2-3

vocal harbor
#

right yeah

#

kk tyty

strange python
#

So u dont have to refresh it in tb window

#

wanna knew which trait combis are coming up on the new azerite gear :x

spice surge
#

Its on the ptr if you want too 😉

#

Wowhead is bugged though

#

So cant check there

strange python
#

TB is on the corner 200+ dps (2xDD/1archive) than exs (2x SS/archive) .. peaces have equal ilvl .. one 385 and one 370

#

ive to install ptr first y.y

#

i hoped anyone did it and checked out the stuff

#

1x scent + SS .. king+ item

spice surge
#

Wowhead has the data, their display for it just isnt working

#

Which is unfortunate

#

Its sorta available on wowdb but they dont have a display for each item, but if you lookup a certain trait you can find all the item it is on

#

For example, double dose is in 8.1 found on zul shoulders and fetid chest

strange python
#

sounds not bad to me, strong m+ traits combined with strong st traits for tyrannical weeks

spice surge
#

Although from what i've heard the new fok trait is horribly overtuned and should be 3x:ed everytime you aoe

#

Here is the sim mystler made, idk how many targets but still

strange python
#

ive to put out my old fokwheel, we had an mission xD

wheat zealot
#

Inb4 40% nerf

strange python
#

whats the new trait called

spice surge
#

Echoing blades

strange python
#

is that vendetta trait like legion vendetta ? ^^

spice surge
#

Yep

strange python
#

nice

#

😄

#

and everyone hates the vendetta disturbia

#

this trait will be nerfed to the ground

#

echoing shadows ?

#

eh

#

blades

#

Like it will be huge on large pulls

#

yeah but gigapulls sill bfa dream

#

not really

#

dk tank and frost mage

#

enjoy

spice surge
#

Or just a boomkin

#

Idk how they let treants be such a strong tanking cd

strange python
#

i am fine with that .. i disslike that shiv is pvp only

#

droods have a dead spec for a couple of years

hushed wagon
#

do people hold exsanguinate for boon on a st boss.. talking m+

dull osprey
#

is the Fathoms trinket worth the 65k?

hushed wagon
#

yes pale

dull osprey
#

I only have 74 lol

strange python
#

i think it deepends on fight length etc

runic oyster
#

next patch is coming soon

strange python
#

short fights u will sync .. in long thermes u wouldnt ? casue u miss an use

#

something whishy washy

#

so considering its a 2 sec min fight

#

You hold it

#

So you'll get a synced boon+exsang at 10sec and 1:10

#

And then u can exsang at like 1:55 without boon

#

On a 5 minute fight you wouldn't do that

#

Because you'd lose like a whole exsang

#

cmon i am to stupid for an ez mythic wpn sim ..

Hey guys! Looking for some help if possible. I've only been playing a rouge, for a month or two now. I've decided Assassination is the spec for me. I've been checking multiple sites, icy-veins, Noxxic and of course, Ravenholdt for talents, rotations, stat priority etc. I just don't seem to be simming as high as i would like. Would anyone be able to have a look and give me a few pointers? I'll post my armory if that's cool, and i have logs somewhere if needed too. Cheers! :)

sour wraith
#

well you have some unoptimized or ungemmed pieces

vital pumice
#

The ungemmed gear i just got today

#

Finished the instance and just logged

sour wraith
#

your chest says it doesnt have azerite bonuses chosen either

#

And you're running crimson tempest which will lower your ST sims

vital pumice
#

I was only using that in M+

sour wraith
#

what do you sim? i can't do much just from pulling the wow armory link

vital pumice
#

I'll run a quick raidbots sim

grave trail
#

is archive of the titans better than shourded suff

#

i already have 1x shrouded

#

soo it would be double stack

vital pumice
#

I have 3 shrouded i think

sour wraith
#

shrouded drops off a lot after 1 stack iirc

vital pumice
#

Hmmm interesting

#

I know it ticks for over 5k

#

Currently

grave trail
#

so itan is prob better?

#

titan

sour wraith
#

Def at least one for uldir

#

because of the extra secondary stat

vital pumice
#

Hmmm interesting

#

Ive got 2 shrouded + 1 lazer matrix

sour wraith
#

ah that would do the extra secondary too

vital pumice
#

2 shrouded + 1 titans would be good i gues or no different?

sour wraith
#

not sure tbh

onyx rock
#

Try 2xSS, 1x Titan + Exang. and Poison Bomb Talent and sim again.

vital pumice
#

There's a few bosses on there too

#

Exang doesnt help much single target though does it?

onyx rock
#

Its most likely better if you run 2xSS

#

Sim it

#

And dont forget Poison Bomb

vital pumice
#

Im not sure how to change my azurite on raidbots

onyx rock
#

Top Gear

#

But you need to import the simc string from the ingame addon

vital pumice
#

I also don't have anything with Titans >_<

#

Ahhhh, i can't log on at the moment

onyx rock
#

Laser Matrix will do it too

grave trail
#

i already got lazer

#

laser*

#

laser + titan stack?

onyx rock
#

What ? I am talking to Tychi

vital pumice
#

Do i sim with all buffs?

#

I guess it's more realistic for a raid

onyx rock
#

Yea

onyx rock
#

Dont use askmrrobots

#

Wait until you can log in and do it with raidbots

vital pumice
#

ok no problem

runic oyster
#

at what point is exsanguinate better than toxic blade?

sour wraith
#

whenever your stats and azerite traits dictate it is

runic oyster
#

2shroud archive and im mostly haste

#

i figured haste would be better for exsang but it doesnt sim as high.

I did shrine 50 time before looting my 1st one, now I looted 3 in a raw... nice game

eager linden
#

@tribal marlin You should read the last pinned message, especially the 3rd point

vocal harbor
#

is toxic blade decent in m+?

#

it sims way higher for me with reorigination, but i also have to swap gems and enchants around for more crit

#

would rather not blow 3k on gems every time i switch between raids/m+

eager linden
#

Dont switch gems everytime, thats a waste

hollow gyro
#

Fuck Mythrax bois

eager linden
#

Unless you're like a huge M+ pusher, being with raid gems is totally okay. The only thing you should use your gold on, should be changing Azerite traits if needed. They'll have a much bigger impact compared to gem/enchants

#

And for TB, well i've ran some keys with it (mostly due to me forgetting to swap talents kappa) and it felt pretty much the same. Feel-wise & damage-wise, you just use them differently

delicate crater
#

Anyone use Sharpened Blades for progression? It sims about 150 more than my next best trait in that slot but it just feels bad playing it

carmine kestrel
#

I keep finding tanks this week chain pulling in 10 to 13 keys leaving a mob on 5% hp snared and run into next pack. How bad of a total dps loss is that for sin? It's not like the timer was failed, actually had some good times but I know personal dps takes a big hit.

eager linden
#

Pretty big loss, and obviously gets bigger and bigger the more SS traits you have. You should just ask him to let you re-stealth. It should also help the healer to get micro mana breaks

#

@delicate crater Just use your other trait, especially if its a passive trait. Fucking up the utilization of Sharpened Blades should be a dps loss in the end so..

steep obsidian
#

@carmine kestrel its huge tell them to stop being dumb

#

tell them to never invite a sin rogue to their gruops if they do thatt

#

man it triggers me so hard when it happens ijust want to drop group even with guild tanks who forget

#

normally a "fucking hell dude" means they fix it though 😛

carmine kestrel
#

Yeah ok I need to say something I just didn't want to ruin a run, these tanks get hurt hurt real fast

#

Butt hurt*

steep obsidian
#

just ask them if they are happy with you doing shit damage

#

I actually wouldnt mind playing sub in dungeons just coz of the restealth thing as long as you can get a group that can handle the pulls to make it good :\

eager linden
#

Well, even in Sub its pretty huge, not being able to apply FW to the target you're dumping Evis's on

#

Though not as big as Sin

steep obsidian
#

i mean i guess but its nowhere near as big

eager linden
#

Yeah

tribal marlin
#

Keep calm and say nicely "I need restealth to do damage please" -)

steep obsidian
#

and if you doing big pulls that stay alive you prolly just rolling nightblades too

#

unless a prio target

eager linden
#

Depends on the pulls yes

carmine kestrel
#

Yeah might look at sub again, I had such bad weapon luck then the weekly gave a dagger at last, b4 that I used outlaw on m+. Just seeing nice sin dmg at bosses now and my average dmg over taking my outlaw 13k ish with the bad tanks

steep obsidian
#

anyway we got offtopic

#

before someone yells atus

wary ice
#

Can i get some clarification on suffication boostin the tick? ie: is it +[amount] per tick or is the [amount] divided over all the ticks

verbal umbra
#

Is there still a bug were your subterfuge garrotes lose their damage if you garrote a 4th time outside that subterfuge window?

safe matrix
#

no

steep obsidian
#

nope

#

thank god

eager linden
#

@wary ice Per tick

cloud ocean
#

is there some sort of secret that isnt in any of the guides for assa dps cuz my dmg is extremly mediocre and im executing the rotation fairly well to my knowledge i used to think it was the garrote bug messing me up but now yall are saying its fixed

delicate crater
#

so I'm now siming higher with none of my SS traits equipped, but it still recommends Subterfuge. What does the Non-SS Subterfuge opener even look like lol

#

so used to trying to extend the duration on garrote from SS it's going to be strange not trying to do that

eager linden
#

@delicate crater Check the guide

#

@cloud ocean What key levels are you doing ? We dont really have huge upfront bursts so if you're doing low-ish keys and stuff dies like in a blink of an eye, then yes our damage will be mediocre

cloud ocean
#

10s usually

#

and im expecting my trash dmg to be mediocre but even my boss dmg is feeling incredibly meh which i made my rogue because i heard that the boss dmg was great

eager linden
#

Our boss damage is mid-high, but not insanely exceptionnal. Good Moonkins/Dh's/other stuff can be above us

#

What I mean is, we're not at a point where its "My trash damage is average but i'll crap on everyone on bosses"

When using CT in M+, do you still tab and rupture

#

or just on your main target

tidal jetty
#

i prefer having a couple ruptures out for the energy regen, but not sure when its actually worth in terms of dmg

#

same goes for envenom buff

@haughty flame have you tried simming with exang?

nope

currently trying to decide to stick to rogue or main monk 😄

just weird rotation

also shoulders are 370

humble crane

I use sharpened blades chest

#

if you use it properly, its pretty good

#

Try simming with your sharpened blades helm

haughty flame
#

define "properly"

humble crane
#

Like dont forget to use it between 29-30 stacks

#

hits for 45-50k during vendetta

humble crane
#

unsure what else, we now using the exact same azerite traits/ilvl

#

ive got way less vers though

haughty flame
#

how can u do so much more lol

#

u only have 3% crit more

#

maybe cause u took the inside trait

#

overwhelming?

humble crane

Overwhelmings pretty gosu for assass

#

swap that trait and sim with exang

Ive got 1 more socket, so thats about ~90 dps there based on your stat weights

#

exsanguinate value weak aura....

#

what u mean?

halcyon skiff
#

Yeah, it shows how much you would do if you used it at a specific moment. It's somewhat common with the higher m+ rogue streams.

#

Since you don't always get to do a normal rotation, etc.

civic palm
#

You still know your timers and empowerment...

if the debuffs are over 20 sec

#

exsang

it's popular because it's nice for stream viewers.

is it usually beter to go more haste for fights like vectis mother?

winter moss

as much crit and haste you have

but dont forget a little bit of mastery

for m+ we still using 2-3 SS or just 1 + other random strong traits

2-3 SS = god

2-3x ss 1x Archive/Scent of blood

any tips for using 2 active trinkets? i have Doom's wake and golden plumage, dont know the best way to use them since i cant have them up together in vendetta.

probably use 1 with vendetta and the other trinket with TB/exsang when they are up

doesn't one get 30 sec CD when you use the other? is it worth to use them together?

I always use MA with no SS and no Subturfuge

from looking at logs it seems most of the ppl are using atleast 1 SS

haughty lily
#

I haven’t found it to needed

#

And I haven’t really experienced a dps loss

#

DD seems just as good in raids

(I really hate using SS)

small island
#

ye but if u take a look at mythic logs

#

basically everyone is running 1 ss

haughty lily
#

Then run SS

That's partly because there's an "easy" to get SS trait at 385, but not for DD.

hi fellows

im doing Vectis mithyc with my guild, and im wondering hows the best way as an assassin rogue to deal with the adds

they die quickly and i dont know if i should focus on them without bleeding or with a small bleed ...

wheat zealot
#

1 cp rupture @echo crest

marble hemlock
#

nah

#

just pre-dot boss before addspawn

#

save 5cp

#

rup garr muti tb envenom mut mut envenom on add

#

play ttk/dd traits if you have some

#

add spawns every 25sec, so lines up pretty well with TB

#

and ignore first add, people have 2mins for that one

#

so just pop vendetta+1st TB on boss

#

and then focus on 2nd/3rd/4th add

is it possible to cast 3 envenoms into 1 tb on regular basis? (without lucky 4cp crit mutiliates) i mean that's achievable if you pool 130+ energy before tb, but if you do that, your rupture will most likely need to be refreshed during tb

Do you guys recommend leveling as assassination? Starting to level a rogue, and its been awhile since I've played one.

I liked leveling as outlaw

#

What level are you now?

#

Havent tried the spec out yet, only reason i want to level as assassination is to get really familiar with the spec

#

im only 20 so really low

#

I prefer outlaw esp at low levels

#

More frontloaded damage

#

Stuff dies faster

ok so its pulling more dps at lower level then? And is it bettter then assassination once you get to 120?
