i wasnt playing my rogue
thought i wanted to play my druid beacuse im a whore and wanted to show off my glad mounts
but moonkin is boring as fuck
just got back into rogue this week
lmfao
figure im basically SoL this tier and will not be able to compete until Siege of Draz
Good news is that you don't need 4+ pieces of tier to get a huge DPS boost.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
also holy fuck i want a damn dagger above 355
when doing m+ and you dont have vanish do you wait until empowered garrotes fall off to spread more or start spreading them beforehand so you never drop below 3
on 3 targets and on ~5+
Usually by the time your empowered garrotes wear off, you have enough ruptures out that you don’t need to add more garrotes for the energy and the damage/CP generation isn’t worth using garrote over FoK.
If you have vanish up and stuff will live long enough, then getting more empowered garrotes out is worth it.
you guys take poison bomb in king's rest?

From looking at logs, exsang appears to be the best talent on the row. However TB sims the highest for me. Does this have to do with people stacking SS traits increasing the value of exsang?
After you Exsang, you want to let your dots tick all the way down, right?
what is a good overall dungeon uptime/average overall % uptime for swirling sands in a m+? this 13 atal I just did it was only up 23% of the time...that feels kinda low?
50 dps difference between 395 construct and fathoms
Yes @stray hatch
for pure st
yeah i hate simming trinkets cause always seems so off
says its 50dps above my fathoms
woulda thought tb would of been bis for me by now aswell
High Construct with Galecallers is actually pretty op for exsg I think
Hello 😃 Do you always delay exsg 15s to use it together with galecaller?
The best answer I can give there is sim yourself with the right amount of time for the fight
then look at what the apl says to do
cause I personally don't know the answer to that question, and i've seen a couple of discussions about that either delaying or not delaying exsg/galecallers/vendetta
ok thank you, i will do so 😃
I've read a lot of discussion as well
That says don't delay until your 3rd one
So you can line it up with Vendetta/Vanish/Exsang
It's a good thing I sim higher with TB
But even then I can either fit 3 Envenoms in my opener in TB window or keep rupture up with like perfect pandemic
Won't galecallers sim way higher than what it actually does in M+
since it's 20 sec 6 bosses for M+
40sec
Any veteren's out there able to give me a helping hand? PM please
would u pref 100 versa or 100 haste for m+, current stats 1300crit, 950 mastery, 200 versa, 450 haste
you need way more haste
not for m+ mate
Well for Tyranical Weeks you need haste else you can setup your campfire ;D
at least aiming for 10-15%
yeah thats a terribly low amount of haste for m+ youre probably energy starved like hell on bosses. Im running 1150/1007/791 crit/haste/mastery
even on tyra bosses are still a small part of m+
im fine wiht bit more, but at some point u get a dead stat in 70%+ of the isntance for like 2% more dps on boss
it feels more worth then it is dps wise ST i guess
ôk dead stat is maybe a bit hyperbolic 😄
In regards to exsanguinate, do you refresh the buffed rupture/garrote from exsanguinate within the pandemic refresh window or do you let them completely run its duration before refreshing?
Let them drop off fully
ok thanks
is there an concensus between crimson tempest/poison bomb for this weeks affixes? for +15 keys
go with ct except in KR
cheers
Sethralis is good wiht poison bomb aswell
nope, u dont use it st
on 2 targets u keep the dot up
the second aprt u basicly repeat u opener
with SS trait alwways use Garrote Twice
after stealth
Cool cool thanks
You guys think Construct Overcharge works well with Boons for raiding?
Exsang build
Hard to tell from simming really, before any of you say I should sim.
Not to shabby tbh
Its okay, same ilvl dice or spyglass is better though
deadeye or firstmate?
I have 385 construct but I havent really used it yet cuz it sims worse
In M+ trash with SS, do you guys prioritize getting ruptures out after your three garrotes or do we CT then go for FoK builder -> rupture spread?
Anyone knows if the azerti pieces from the dailyWQ-chests are completely random ( what i think it is) or "fixed" in a way that you Always get that piece which is your lowest ilvl? Got chests 6 times in a row while hoping for the 370 SS shoulders -and thats okay, just wanted to check if I have to get a better chest to have a Chance of them dropping again.
Random otherwise my warrior would have 370 shoulders from Zuldazar emissary but has gotten chest twice now
ok thx
Do you garrote twice only on opener and with vanish or on every exsan. Cd?
if you have shroud trait, I believe it is only on opener and vanish
How high do you guys prioterize SS in m+ i got some shoulders 385 without and some 370 with it, should i run with the 370 ones ? the 385 got blightborn
depends on the traits, you'll need to sim yoself. but in my case, a 360 helm with SS is worth more than a 385 helm with SoB in M+
might be a stupid question, but is there a way to see what places are good to skip in m+?

2x SS + twist the knife is better than 1 SS, 1 scent of blood + twist in m+, right?
depends on ilvl of azerites
even with 2 SS exsanguinate sims lower than tb which is strange. is there any reason to take exs over tb for m+ even if it sims lower?
all 370
TTK trait is also pretty poor generally when u do FoK spams with bigger pulls and spread ruptures
also CT ability uses 🤔
there is practically no big difference in each pack dps for exsan vs TB
overall exsan brings more garrote dmg , but i dont really see much difference than faster prio kill on one target
thanks
Reeeeeeee didnt get zandalari shoulders this time either
Never better SS traits for m+ 😦
i'm trying to get a better SS helm, mines is only 360.
You cant get a better ss helm outside of your weekly chest though
welp. i think i'm in the same boat with trying to get an ace up the sleeve chest for outlaw
Doesnt matter much tbh, gonna be ez to get 3 of one trait with 8.1 in december
But then getting the ideal combos is gonna be the hard part
Or well, maybe not hard as you can save your points for a specific piece but its gonna take a while
I mean, easy in that you don't have to do much, hard in that it takes ages?
I guess
Dont have to do much, except run every difficulty of every piece of content for azerite to scrap
lol
i dont know how grindy it is
this isnt the good kind of grind though
unpopular opinion inc
i sort of miss artifacts, grinding ap and legos
at least you had a goal and a reason to log in and do things
I don't think that is unpopular
i never went hard enough to burn myself ot
not my fault other dickheads did and then complained
I think they problem is, they removed all grinds
AP/Leggos/Rep Mounts/Artifact skins
🤔
there is islands and AP grinds
and m+
grinding hasnt really changed, just different sources
Yes they are? Just because you dont like them doesnt make them not content, do you really have all the traits? The 5 ilvl ones?
The 5 ilvl ones are generally worth around as much as the 0.5% upgrade traits that people spammed maw for, but anyway this is getting offtopic
370 pieces yes. Because I can't grind 385 azerite 🤷
I will. Thanks
I prefer a grind, instead of leaving up to rng gods to not screw me
You're not gonna be able to grind much next patch either as the availability of good quality azerite is very limited (and low ilvl doesnt give much at all)
And unless you need a really specific combo (such as SS and echoing blades for m+) you're better of just buying random pieces since a very high amount of pieces have that one trait you're looking for
3x SS or 2xSS+Titans? m+
i am new to assa m+, what stats are you running? low haste and stack crit? without my 10 array stacks i feel pretty weak on bosses without haste, i assume more crit would fix something? since we dont need haste on trash.
My 345 SS pieces already sim higher in M+ than my 385 azerite pieces and yet SS gets buffed
want to puke
It doesnt
It just gets its tooltip updated to reflect how much damage it does instead of just a flat number
So it already scales with versa and is just a tooltip update?
is two ss pieces good with 1 archives?
Hi guys, regarding the troll racial nerf (Berserking now grants 12% haste over 12 sec (was 15% haste over 10 sec) in 8.1. I have no idea how much of a nerf we're talking about, does anyone have access to 8.1 racial sims?
Anyone know a good addon to take mythrax and the add into focus before fights starts? To keep track of dots on mythrax for example while Im on the add
Sorry if this has been posted but I couldnt find it. Is SS still bugged where you cant use 4 garrotes?
No, it's fixed
Ok, so you can drop the three free ones and then the normal one
si
tyty
hi guys, quick question: when is generally the best time to use envenom?
- when Elaborate Planning ends
- when Elaborate Planning is about to end (like 0.1s so envenom benefits for the bonus damage)
- when Envenom buff is going to expire
there's no real hard and fast rule for using envenom to be honest, it's more of a checklist of things to avoid/aim for
The priority is to never overcap energy and CPs
Tbh it doesnt really matter, the difference is abysmally small
after that, you want to maximize EP and Envenom buff uptimes (they should be relatively similar due to durations)
oh is it really? i thought 15% bonus damage on envenom would be huge
the damage on envenom itself isnt really a large portion of sin damage while at current haste levels
Env is a relatively weak finisher that provides a strong buff
Its 10% not 15%, but the ideal situation is to use #2 in what you posted
Envenom buff is largely irrelevant atm, and EP uptime is only relevant during TB/exsang
Sure, but not if that's going to make you starved for energy and miss a garrote or rupture uptime or reduce overall EP uptime
okay thanks guys
I would say, try to keep the envenom buff up. And don't get too caught up on EP (unless during BL/vendetta when you have more resources to work with)
this is imo
The sim doesnt do anything around either buff directly, and when i tried it didnt seem to be gain. It does however wait for some energy before using envenom
Finally got my 370 shoulder with SS trait, so I am running eith 2xSS/1xArchive. Cant wait to test it on m+
yea still hoping for that shoulder myself ^^
Can you get a Chest with DD from emissary caches?
There's no reason clipping EP wouldn't be a small gain so long as it doesn't cause you to make a mistake later. It's probably super minor though
are you guys popping boon instantly on burst
On CD, use it right before exsang if you're running that
I run 3x SS in M+, not sure if Archive is worth outside Uldir 🤷
Archive isn't bad in m+, it's constantly at 20 stacks
What WA you guys using?
since i can spend less time, i just get the set WA's by Afenar
since they get upgraded pretty regularly
and they dont look bad at all
No I don't, SS is too good. Given same ilvl of course
@short arch Honorbound/SI:7
Hey sorry im completely New to rogue. I read that you garrote twice with the Ss trait, but not on pull. Might be a stupid Question but why do we garrote twice, and why don't we do that on pull?
Pandemic
We do on pull if you have the trait shrouded suffocation, check the pins here and scroll down for pandemic
@spice surge So it does drop honorbound stuff? Only getting the same pieces everytime ._.
Oh. My bad but thanks for answering
Yes honorbound emissaries can drop a DD chest
oh boi
do you guys run with crimson tempest or poison bomb in kr?
Pb
should i be going for x3 shroud traits even if i got to equip lower item level armor for mythic plus?
SS in m+ really shines, I would say try it out 😃
depends on the traits on ur higher ilvl gear and the difference in ilvl
There is a m+ chart on herodamage.com that you can have a look at and do a rough comparison @modest badge
i have a 370 DD tht sims almsot 300 dps more than my archive but in practicality it seems to do just 1-2 % of my dmg on bosses.. is tht right ? - talking about Tyran 10-12 lvl keys
2 SS 1 Archive or 2SS 1 Scent for m+ this week ya guys think? same ilvl piece
Archive probably. I think scent is better for fortified weeks or really high keys like 14+
im running mostly 14s this week but archive feels really good on tyrannical. hm
its a 360 with shroud and a 375 with archive, 15% downgrade
sim it 😄
4head
yeah just press the m+ sim button 4head

Not entirely accurate because of no restealth, but otherwise fairly good
the sample sequence has multiple restealths in that fight
at least when I messed with it
can we use the m+ script in top gear?
how can a single script give you weights for the dozens of different pull types you will encounter... seems....unlikely
That’s like saying you shouldn’t use a patchwerk sim to sim for raids because not every fight is the same
does anyone have the updated WA party interupt?
@fresh ginkgo as of yet, the m+ sim is not integrated in the raidbots menu so no. Top gear is out for now.
It has to support a lot more dps class apls than just rogue
do you guys like running CT on shrine?
i do
Ya shrine is a good one for CT. Most pulls are 4+mobs
Simmong for m+ seems kinda silly the more I see people ask about it
There is way too many variables to get a reliable sim
meh, fair, but for some people, getting super high M+ scores is the end game, not raid
they use mythic raid to get gear for M+
i guess
The big m+ boys just sim weights for 6 tar and 1 tar and then feelycraft from there
A lot of them barrely play assa either
what do allot of them play?
Because if your group can pull so that you get 6 mobs up all the time (so no aoe) then sub is just a monster
But yes ofc it depends on dungeons
14% haste sound alright for M+ with Dice/Galecallers?
24% crit 14% haste 34% mastery?
6 tar? @ruby idol
which talents do u guys prefer on high tyrranical KR?
If you can be 30c 5h 40m.
Hi guys, i play with 2 Archive and 1 SS its good for MM+ ?
Ugh.
I play 3ss.
Asking if it is goood. Gonna get a bit shrug. If those archives are 385 but your SS is 340. Then prob.
uh ya thats fine shitty
id prolly drop a little haste for some crit and mastery but i wouldnt sacrifice ilvl
Do you guys use vanish on adds on mythrax?
Depends on group comp/CD rotation
Do you vendetta and galecallers before opener or before exsang?
Im not quite sure how the interaction is with exsang
When im trying to step to our black ox statue on ghuun it says you cant use that here
Exsang
@spice surge is that 1dd 1ss 1archive?
Yy
I should jump to 17k soon. We are hopefully starting mother this coming week. Else I'm done until next tier tbh.
no 385 weapon or azerite gear and wiping on ghuun, wich means im stuck with 17k until he is dead
We finally pulled taloc. Took 3 pulls prob. Figure we can mush our way through a few bosses at 368avg.
we are notoriously bad at footwork. There are probably some things you just can't out gear.
Mythic?
Yeah.
What realm are you on
Thrall horde.
I'm not too worried about mother. We had been killing heroic in room 1 for a few weeks just for lols.
I don't pug. If we don't do it, we don't do it.
If all goes well we can farm up a bit before then next tier so it goes a bit smoother.
@ruby idol would you sacrifice a 395 boot with no mastery or haste for a 385 booth with haste and mastery?
@ruby idol im a bit struggle town in trying to figure out if I would to loose some ilvl for mastery in M+
When im trying to step to our black ox statue on ghuun it says you cant use that here, thought we could use ss?
yo dudes, how accurate is raidbots sims? Do they have correct sims for all specs?
@tulip tide for rogue specifically it is the best tool we have.
Doesn't mean it is perfect. But there isn't anything better.
How do you use vendetta on M G'huun?
@round harbor Can you make cereal?
I mean you can pour it in a bowl
But can you actually make it? 🤔
Can anyone explain me how rupture works? im a Rogue noob and have a bit problems with setting rubture correct. When Adds die quick like the Casters at Zekvoz is it better to Rubture with 3 cb or 2 for example because time is lower.
Its generally better to try to time it with how fast they die, but you get slightly less punished if they die to fast as you get the energy that you would've gotten back anyway
The damage from rupture doesnt scale with CP
Only the duration does
thanks alot
I can put the cereal in the bowl and add orange juice. So yes I be making ceral
Orange juice? That sounds like the most american thing i've ever heard
But thats off-topic 😉
so for m+, ive got 365 dice, dooms wake, 375 azerokks, and fathoms ofc, ive been useing dice and azerokks, you think its the best combo or ?
On Fetid
My tanks are complaining that when I shadowstep and I have Miasma, that I spread it onto them
If I have the AoE, should I just not SS the stomps?
So wait, I shouldn't SS the stomps at all?
Position yourself so you get knocked into the wall, or not knocked back at all
Don't really have that luxury since we have DKs who take the wall spot
There is three spots
You have dks on both + tanks in mid?
Other option is if you don't have aids you can run on the tank spot just after thrash, but before knock
Kinda risky. But it's what I do and I've only spread cancer one time
Ye think we run 6 on fetid
Do you have any logs I can have a look at some positioning
Cheers
Not the best play in the world, but you can see me use the corner a few times
Wish I could sit on the big add for a parse lol
for exsang builds w/ galecallers, do you wait every time to snapshot?
err wait to pair them together
"How do I use Galecallers Boon?
-With Toxic Blade: On cooldown
-With Exsanguinate: Do NOT hold exsang for every galecaller. Use them seperately on cooldown with the exception of the third galecaller use, which you want to delay to line up with vendetta+vanish+exsang at around 2.25"
^ there we go
conveniently pinned for your viewing pleasures
Chose to record my g'huun hc kill today, any idead on where one could post such & get some feedback?
given that you'd be posting it for feedback, ideally a log would be better, but you can post it here
Should i always go with 2 x Shrouded Suffocation Traits? or should i switch to 1x SS and 1x Twist the Knife and stack a second "overwhehlming power? ^^
since that wouldnt be self advertisement, more like self improvement
@strange python gotta sim it
Alright 😃 well i'll post the g'huun kill here (with log attached) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4LHW091XuM 😃
Mainly for own entertainment. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/van4GPN8phJgq3QM/#fight=last&type=damage-done AZERITE GEAR: Archive of the Titans Rezan's ...
but for m+ SS is much stronger than the other two
maybe someone will look it over, but it depends on whos in the channel at the time
I'm here and usually willing to look at logs, but on phone right now
Watching the first 20 seconds of the video you are hitting the dark young
That's wrong
That was mainly to just dish some damage - but yeah thats not the way to play it entirely right in P1 :b
few more things before i watch p3
during the p1 you want to keep the dark young aslive for the dmg buff, take the first one. skip the second. get the third buff, cloak as the 4th buff is coming out to get it
multi garrote/rupting the small tendrils till the blightspreader is active, vendetta/vanish on it then continue to dot things up
Yeah, got the 3rd dark bargain 😃
during the split phase you want to get 5cp, sit meleeing him for full energy and 3-4 seconds before he becomes active full rupture/garrote him, then youll have a global or two to regen some energy
that way you have full dots running on him the millisecond he becomes able to take dmg, and you have a full energy bar for mut/envming
your vendetta/vaniush will most likely be available for the orb burn
you want to do a similar thing going into the mega burn orb. get full dots out a few seconds before and pool for just a moment so you have full energy goping into the burn. all cd's pots/lust and plow him
last phase is turn when you need to turn and dont stack on other melee and its gg
tldr version; press buttons
if anyone else has tip/tricks id love to hear aswell
he got a 99 tho 🤷 just need to min-max better
giggle i see u lerking
i got bumped down to 55 😦
yeah, got 99 - stuck at 6 arrays but there's most likely things i can still improve on it make it even better
stuff i might not notice myself
if you padded on adds better in p1 you'd have done more
obviously what i posted isnt 100% doable every pull, but its what would be ideal
im usually aiming for like 35k-40k by the time that phase ends
most of that comes from the worms
I only touch the dark young to dot him when I need to run back in for the buff
we usually have the phase done by the time i get a 2nd buff anyways tho
tbh nowadays i dont really even minmax on ghuun heroic. its at the point where heroic logs dont bother me, and no matter what i do itll be enough dmg and my guild will kill it
Yeah, i mean would prolly play it quite different if i had scent of blood or another shrouded - add a tad more mastery gear aswell, one can hope for 2nd shrouded or double dose 😦
feelsbad
yikers
feelssobadman
would u believe its because i do good in raids that they put me on orbs
i mean if they trust you thats good
but the idea is to have the lowest common denominator be smart enough to run orbs and you can do dmg
unless your talking mythic which in anycase you have to run anyway
mythic
hell nah, rogues pump on mythrax
?
you can delete entire add cycles
?
our mw solos twice
yea mw solo
ya
and group 5 only runs one time
?
youll always have someone who can solo
1 does it 2 times
no?

If you’re not sure whether you should run PB or CT, the answer is PB.
But really though, play sub for shrine.
and hope that people dont aoe down the small adds?
You’ll still smash even if they do.
do you? i would have thought that with all the adds down you lose a ton of damage since nothing to shuri storm on
Sub is decent for normal AoE stuff. It’s amazing for AoE stuff where you can abuse its priority damage.
kk i might try it out then next time i run SotS
any recommended azerite traits? or just go on whatever is highest ilvl
/whatever herodamage is saying for m+
Hey guys, i have a quick question about trinkets for sin, all these trinkets are base 370, which would yall use. Galecallers, dice, azerokk's resonating heart 375 fetid trinket and fathoms
GCB and Fathoms but also sim yourself
Archive and first dance are solid. Basically things that give you stats that can be applied to eviscerate damage.
yo quick question
Galecaller and dice for M+, Galecaller and fathoms for raid.
with galecaller's, do you hold vendetta 15 seconds for exsang to come up?
yes
tyty
you exsang off cd
Yes. Hold vendetta, don’t hold exsanguinate.
and dont hold GCB for exsang
only 3rd one amirite?
sim yourself then check when things are casted on the report
yeah
so on pull you use everything
then 45 sec you exsang
then 1min you gcb
then 1min 30 you exsang again
then 2:15 you everything
thanks 😃
It’s probably more like ~2:18 so you can vanish.
ah yeah
hoy
I'm coming here with a question 'bout sim, I'm pretty confused in that kind of weak about that stuff I should wear since our stats are oppozite between AOE and Singletarget
that looks more like a statement 
you gotta sorta mix and match gear depending on the content you do
haste gets strong in ST because you want the energy regn
but in AoE because you should have so many bleeds out you have a ton of energy regen from venomous wounds
ye ikr
in something like m+ you dont need a whole lot of haste and would prefer crit/mastery since trash is about 80% of a dungeon
Ya but for exemple this week
but if it were a tyrannical dungeon, like lets say KR where bosses are a much bigger portion and the pulls are small haste becomes a lot higher value
It's like "deal damage on trash and fuck boss"
typically you only need to run higher haste if the pulls are consistently small or you need the boss damage
like KR or temple of sethraliss
but for most other cases somewhere low like 12-15% is probably fine
raidbots wont let me change out my darkmoon deck for a 375 lions guile someone kill me i hate holding this 355 trinket
Raidbots doesn’t “let” you do anything. It just gives you a point of reference for what gear will perform better while fighting patchwork of you play your rotation perfectly.
wait does your raidbots not have a gun to your head?
Nah, I pulled mine first.
maybe you dont have raidbots prime+
it just stands behind you and tells you what to do
it is odd that bloodmallet shows the sims for lions guile versus darkmoon deck is like 400 dps
but in raidbots my stats somehow make it LESS dmg
That’s for an ilvl 400 Lion’s Guile, which you don’t have.
Also, bloodmallet.com sims are based on MA/TB build. If you’re running subterfuge/exsanguinate, your results will be different.
whats the cmd for the m+ sim?

im running m+ so im 2x SS and one DD or Archive sim says its same
the two SS are 345 and 360..
Looking to ask a question about the exsanguinate opener in M+. Any knowledgeable have a minute?
Ask away
Somebody told me that 1k haste is jsut the right amount and everything after is excessive, how true is that? Also does it apply to all these different dynamics eg raiding/m+/pvp, if not care to elaborate the haste go to number on 3 of those. I assume raiding should be less since you'll be getting reorg array haste. I'm sitting on 1300 atm. It has something to do with diminishing, but I don't know it and can't find any resource explaining it. Any insights will be appreciated. Thanks.
there is no magical go to number, just gotta sim yourself and firgure out what your stat priority
haste looses a lot for multi target but as always what that guy says sim it
yeah haste def lower priority for multi traget since having multiple ruptures/garrotes generates plenty of energy, for single target it will definitely be one of your top stats
i use sim craft how do i sim for multiple targets.
goto: http://www.raidbots.com and use their handy-dandy GUI along with your SIMC profile export that you can get from using the SimulcationCraft Addon (that you might already have from using SIMC).
The easiest way to use SimulationCraft. A resource for World of Warcraft players.
casual 9 min boss fight LOL
heh
I'm only doing like 12k dps in M+
373 2 SS with 1 Swirling sands wtf am I doin wrong lol
allota people say heed my call is really good for M+ but it doesn't sim that well
heed my call is good for packed fights
just keep up 5 ruptures and spam fok
garotte 3 enemies
I only use PB on KR and Temple right?
tbh i use pb almost everywhere
depends on your tank
if he pulls only one pack at a time
ct is useless
and if he pulls allot
shouldn't we be spamming CT
and not trying to get rupture on like all the targets possible
the conditions to use pb are pretty much small pulls or if you need the boss damage
so KR and potentially temple of sethraliss
Do you mean 12k on ST? That not that bad tho
Probably Overall
do I wanna spam CT over getting all my ruptures out?
you won't be able to without the energy from the ruptures
anyone got tips on adds that die pretty fast (uldir mythic), feels like im doing crap on those situations. Runnin MA/TB and bit unsure how to dps the adds most effectively on vectics mythic for example.
we're killing the adds before the 2nd cast of immunosuppression but would like to improve my own game on them :p
not much you can do
unless you want to tb or xsang them
the first in each phase lines up with a vanish so you can double garotte boss + add
except im not running subterfuge but master assassin
¯_(ツ)_/¯
hehe
as long as its not gettng a 2nd cast it doesnt matter then
If they're dying before 2nd cast just use them for energy to funnel boss dmg
yeah was thinking that as well, should probably not waste toxic blade on the adds then
You get enough energy theough ruptures and garrotes, if they live enough and you stacked 5CP ruptures you can spam FoK&envenom, theres no need to waste your TB
@vestal wren continue here then?
well my statement was just that CT is largely used wrong, besides the fact that its probably not even the best pic for that tier esp. in m+.
Hey guys, I'm really struggling on Vectis as Sin. My first kill was shit due to me being overly overly defensive with bursting lesions. I had a bit more uptime the second kill, but my DPS really takes a nose dive after the 2nd intermission.
Mind someone giving me some tips on how to approach the fight after intermissions? And how to keep my uptime really stable?
You see far to often ppl spamming CT as finisher what is inefficiant and makes it even worse then it already is as a talent choice
Right, but it's worth at enough targets
Just far more than most people expect
It's also much more spread than PB, can't always have tight groups especially w/kiting or no bdk
i dont say CT is always bad, the nerf to it just makes it a lot less good to a degree where picking PB is not a bad choice
Oh I didn't realize that there were nerfs incoming
also spamming CT instead of using it only to apply/refresh the dots is not good, the initial damage of the ability is not worth enough to do that
there are not, but they nerfed it in one of the first weeks of the raid
yes ofc, if the targets survive suefficient long and you have enough targets its the better talent
Hmm how many Ruptures do you keep on on trash in m+ lets say freehold 13
it took 56 minutes
the main point was that a lot of player (even big streamer) missuse it
besides it not always beeing the top talent but always picked
What about ruptures how many target do you apply it too ? Before you just spam FAN and envenom the focus target ?
I think anything over 4 ruptures becomes too much, and can't spend the energy
as far as I remember at least
There's a few dungeons where you're better off with PB though @vestal wren
PB just seems like the easier option that can be nearly as good in trash if you have good RNG
With the added benefit of boss damage

sup kids
@frosty robin ayyy
every time i come in here
I haven't killed Vectis yet, since some people think it's "Collect all spikes" during intermission. But what i do, is align my TB with adds. I always have it as an add spawns. @vocal wave And the rest is just keeping dots on vectis
wut
Every time im in here, someone i've never met says people know him 🤔
I am awful with names, know that feel.
@vocal wave You have tripple and even quadruple mutilates in that log btw.
mmm sure sure
idk i wouldnt know where half my friends list comes from on bnet
if you have 4 CP, u use finisher
I think I was.
Hey, maybe he is making a point?
I hadthis issue before and was focusing on ratifying it
There's actually a decent chunk of tripple muts there mate
And several quads
Thats a big issue in itself
oof
But atm it seems like I'm losing track of shit as the fight goes on
Sometimes learning mechanics and doing your class stuff can be difficult.
If you have issues tracking CP rectify that first.
Then just go into things with more knowledge and understanding and you should be more comfortable.
Maybe your UI makes it more difficult for you rather than help you, Mango Boi
Side note: how do you check how many Muti's are done for a finisher?
cast sequence table
Player > Casts > Timeline
Check CP generation and/or MUT casts in sequence
😄
Thanks y'all
But if you're wanting a start for issues, you'll need to get a handle on your CP management first, polish the basics then start to look in other areas for refining the fight @vocal wave
MHm
I generally seem to be losing track of things the more hectic the fight gets
I can see my CP fine, I think that no matter how big it is, when I'm trying to look at other shit, my mind wanders which is a big issue too
So I really need to work on that
probably just a routine thing
Comfort thing ^
(if you are otherwise good at games) then i assume it will come with time
if you are not then it will come with more time or not at all
Yeah I thought you were new-ish, it's just gonna be a time thing.
😉
Make sure you can notice thing without having to focus on them, get more familiar.
Alright, I'll get a handle on my CP gen and spenders and try to focus more during encounters on my CP
yup
Speaking of Vectis, am I doing it right, to save TB for the add every time?
or just Rupture+DP
Just do one or the other as the timing will fuck you if you wait to use TB on one or the other.
Well if you're in a guild like mine where our ranged DPS refuse to target switch, yes you are right :p
@shy escarp too real
Rupture+DP meaning to just make sure that DP is on the add.
i started just ignoring the very first add, since it dies pretty fast, and then TB all the other adds
I think the other issue is, my raid is struggling on killing adds, and I've been asked to do more dmg to adds. So I'm trying to funnel more dmg on the add without drpping dots on Vectis
Yeah if you are Lusting the beginning the first add explodes.
just make sure u vanish garrote on 2 targets every time
I use TB on the adds. I looked at my best Vectis parse once and even though I had an orange parse in total, my boss damage was like 43 percentile
if u play subterfuge that is
I just funneled everything into add
This is my UI atm, including WAs, so I'd liek to think my CP is noticeable enough. But maybe I need to make it bigger.
i think u show too many auras
if u have rup garrote tb vend evasion shadowstep its fucking cluttered bruv
It's a group, but they're all on for show atm I hardly ever show that much
For me, it's just intermission phase: two of us in my group get 1/2 stacks from omega. The rest as well.
After intermission: us two have 1/2 stacks still, rest have 4-6 stacks already.
Gotta catch all the spikes lol @shy escarp
My Garrote changes animation based on Imp Garrote, and my Rupture and Garrote light up when they'rei n pandemic window
But that's really all I got
But thanks for the help
Honestly. if u know your binds, you dont need to show your main rotational spells and shit. Just track what matters: dots / CDs @vocal wave
The UI is clean for the most part, I personally wouldnt double up on the WAs for abilities but thats your preference.
It's a smattering of Tisumi's ugly dynamic aura and RodgerBrowns love of just putting his fucking action bar too high into his UI.
Since I have less time to play atm, i moved to premade WAs, but they are doing fine. Before i was making my own stuff, but its whatever
!wa
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)
https://wago.io/E1EB91OtM (Lokkek's Group)
https://wago.io/SyLUNGD4X (Sovv's Group)
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
SO...
I prefer having my action bar high on my screen and use them for CDs and then use my WAs for the actual durations
i use Afenar's group, since its pretty clean and regularly updated
When I'm not targetting shit it all disappears anyways
I use my own weakauras always
For Vanish I generally don't have TOO many issues only because I've gotten used to it and I know the timings for it on the fights now.
Like I know Vanish will be up after every intermission
Imo, it feels like you are overwhelming yourself with information, about passive things
The only things that really show 100% of the itme are Garotte, Rupture, Vendetta, Elaborate Planning, TB and Pots and so on.
this is mine, its nothing spectacular, but it works for me. My main bars are even on 50% opacity, because it doesn't matter if they show or not. The WA track what they need to track
Yeah, pretty standard Elvui
the only thing i need to take care of tbh, is making a WA for gale trinket, since i often forget to use it
i just focused on keeping my screen clear as i can for all the tracking stuff during fights
Boss WAs etc
Like, some people even have poisons shown on their UI for some reason
its just clutter
Hey any assasination rogue can give a newbie a round down for pvp openers and overall gameplay? would be aamzing if you could use vc
Just needs to be in the way enough.

You should do that for CPs as well 😄
I think I will
L O L
It'll work till you get used to it for sure
"FUCKING 4 POINTS. 4. POINTS.
maybe make a script that doesn't let you Mutilate if u have 4+ cp xD
"I can't do that yet"
Every 4CPs, Mutilate disappears from your bar 
Amen
Fav iterration of rogues is still from HFC wod for me tho 😦
except Assa - i liked the nighthold version (guilty pleasure, even tho Agonising Poison was 💤 )
You guys reckon we'll get KB back? It made the spec flow so well
no


with 2xSS and 1xAotT, do you open with gar,rup,gar,ven,mut,rup,exhn?
yes, with 1x SS too
That's the general opener for SS and Subertfuge with Exsang, aye
i've had SS for so long, i've forgotten how to open without it 😂
once gar falls do you vanish and garr x 2 befure rup?
You refresh it with Van when its ~4.9 sec as far as i know
but that might be for TB
you let it wear off with exsang prob
hmm
do i need to use toxic blade before envom?
TB oper (with SS) is:
gar, rup, gar, ven, tb, envenom
tb = the best?
toxic blade
nw, now you know
Vendetta
Vend is Vendetta. Envenom is usually shortened to Env
^
gotcha
PB?
poison bomb
depends how tank pulls
latter half is already decent for PB, first half of the dungeon is the question
i do it on cd
you NEVER hold exsg
When you do it on cd, do you set up rup to full duration like in the opener?
well unless it's like a 2 minute fight
You can delay 4th exsang for 2:25
when should we use second pots on vectis?
When raid leader tells u to
then use pots for big cds
kk ty
which addosn u guys use for pvp?
about never holding exsang.. what if u have GCB ? do u line it up ? or just do that on the vendeetta exsangs ?
How do I use Galecallers Boon?
-With Toxic Blade: On cooldown
-With Exsanguinate: Do NOT hold exsang for every galecaller. Use them separately on cooldown with the exception of the third galecaller use, which you want to delay to line up with vendetta+vanish+exsang at around 2.25
Is pinned fam
do you guys envenom with 1-3 combo points if toxic blade is ending?
double SS means using exanguinate yeah?
what do sims say for yourself, typically exsang/tb is about the same for me
I don't see that much azerite stacking on rogues via wcl
well no wonder, since there isnt dominating one due to ilvl differences and having at least one raid azerite for buff
I am around level 32/33 does the play style and lack of resources change at max level? It feels very lack luster to level as Sin and would like to know if there is a light at the end of this tunnel and how far away am I from it lol.
lackluster?
Yeah I have no AoE atm and being energy starved
I have never leveled a character before. Always boosted.
well its better once u are 100+
u have long way, u could wait few weeks when blizz plans to release nerf on exp needed for each level

Reading a lot the topics in here doesn’t seem to apply to me yet lol. Is there typically so much discrepancy on the proper way to play and the rotation for this class?
I’m sorry I meant this spec.
outlaw is nice for leveling since blade flurry allows you to pull more
On my WA (Ipse) when garrote and rupture on close to running out the turn green. Does this mean that is the opportune time to the apply the DoT?
-Pandemic this term relates to reapplying buffs/debuffs. When a debuff (like garrote) is refreshed, its remaining time (up to a cap of 30% max duration, so 18x0.3=5.4s for garrote) will be added to the new buff. Primarily used to give leeway to reapply bleeds, however can also be used to make bleeds last longer.
7.2 secs in rupture, 5.4 in garrote
check if that's when they turn gree
So for rupture if you have a 5 CP DoT going and you are going to re apply another rupture do you need it to be a 5 CP one in order to keep the old one going?
no
no you don't need to, they always sum up with the remaining pandemic time
anyway you should always aim to reapply with min 4 cp
That goes for all DoTs with this class?
@dusty jasper never mut on 4. so you can env at 4/5 or rupture at 4/5. or garrote to refresh. refresh is in pandemic. (5 sec for garrote 6-7 for Rupture)
Ty all. I’m only level 32 so there are so many key opener spells I don’t have yet and can’t mentally comprehend lol.
CT probably does, but I dont bother too much with tracking pandemics on CT. it is only 12s so its a pretty short window.
lvl 32. shit. disregard all things.
LMAO
just click buttons. until 120
don't worry about this until 120 man
go outlaw pull huge loads spam blade flurry and cheese
you'll have time to practice in the dummy in boralus
you are not going to do good aoe in 5mains until outlaw gets blade flurry. outside of that, just stab things.
will probably get beat by monk healers a lot.
What are y'all playing on zek mythic?
idk about cheesing when mobs are actually challening in big packs since leveling changes
Outlaw

I may indeed do that. We have 3 different poisons to apply to weapons right? Which one do we use for PvE - damage I would assume?
deadly and slow
he is LEVELING
Who plays sin on zul
zing
very far from current raid things
you cant apply wound and deadly
yeah wut sin on zul wut
I do for heroic. 💪
i zerg as sin at zul hc
stick stick

@modest zodiac we know that
rip crags
yeah but HC, who cares
many cares
wow we're all top 10 mythic runners here
always
Thanks for the help guys. You guys are more responsive and friendly than the WW monk discord lol
advicing so many about mythics specs when u r not doing mythics 😄
@lone junco wow toxic
@umbral scaffold you are not the boss of me. there are far more people here doing heroic than just mythic. stay in your lane.
preparing for the revolutionary big brain response
afk. work
Where is this hostility coming from lol, he was asking about poisons and stuff and you told him about HC mechanics, doesn't rlly matter tbh
talking about mythic, I am currently progressing on Fetid mythic, but I feel as rogue, that shadowstep is falling behind, cause of the cooldown. Any tips for this fight from a rogue perspective? I mean, I am so jealous at almost other classes on that fight :X
Lol. No need to argue over a newb rogue and his newb questions. 😃
@acoustic latch position yourself against a wall or where the add spawns?
@acoustic latch You cant really do anything about it
@dusty jasper A wall is not always possible, depending on if there is a melee there already with the debuff or if an add spawns there
What @dusty jasper said. Never had a problem on Fetid, almost always my best fight
True true.
Roll void elf for a free tp 😄
@acoustic latch My best advice is to be really careful about when you have to use step. Look at you surroundings and determine when you can use it.
When i progressed it, i liked to saved step for when i had to go to the adds and then sprint back to the boss
Yea that is what I do now aswell, just want to make sure I am not missing anything here
how do you use cloak in underrot's sporecaller zancha? at what moment exactly do you use it?
i used it once and when i finished soaking spores, i died
I will be going horde this upcoming week and transferring my main as well. What are the top PvE races for us rogues?
Doesn't matter, play what you want
Troll i think
Gives a haste buff with the racial
So for assa it would be the best
But then its kinda useless for sub and outlaw
Best sim for sin is Blood elf
Also for subtlety
Where do u see this
Wowhead
i mean both bloodmallet and herodamage sims says troll is ahead in pure ST
Interesting. Ty
Wowhead used charts from herodamage, perhaps they are outdated
🙂
Yeah they're just outdated
lol if you race change for dps
I mean he was swapping to horde from alliance, so he kinda needs a new race
Anyone do Assassination in M+ here? I'm having trouble figuring out when and on what I should be using vendetta (and cooldowns in general) vs trash. My general plan is "if im not fighting a boss in 2 mins, pop vendetta on the big guy" but I really cant tell if I'm missing something obvious
also arent they nerfing berzerking? RE: troll best in st - coulda sworn i read that in one of the ptr notes
I just pop vendetta on priority mobs, and yes the racial is getting nerfed
I sorta figured that to be the case but i was hoping there was some secret I was missing
One stupid question is it same to refresh Rupture on 7,2 sec or later for exeple on 2 sec do i lose time on Pandemic with that late refresh ?
no u dont lose pandemic
But u only get that extra 2 seconds
troll racial getting nerfed in 8.1 isnt it? to just 10 %
yea 10% for 12 seconds in 8.1
Thats barrely a nerf though
yea not that big
A super tiny nerf, as they increased the duration
should still be best for assa
From 10 to 12 seconds
theyre really not going to do any changes on rogues are they
thats pretty disappointing
other than those sub nerfs
i mean the specs are fine mostly
Tbh why would they, all of the rogue speccs are in a good place
assa is good outlaw is fun aswell
sub is boring as fuck but idk how you would want to change that
bring dfa back only option
also it kinda feels like the other 2 wont be competitive to sin
sin rogue will always be only decent if you need burst aoe, thats where sub/outlaw shine
given enough mobs, Sin aoe is nutty
Sustained aoe yes, the burst not so much
Mmmm yes council fight
Hi, My guild has me switching to my rogue to start raiding tomorrow night. Does anyone know of any guides for mythic Uldir as a sin rogue? My big worry is zek’voz as I couldn’t really get the hang of it on my other toon either

Thx
Trial by fire if your first boss is mythic Zek
What about Zek'voz is unclear? @static sky
I always die to the shit on the ground when I’m trying to get out with rolling deceit
I don’t understand when I’m supposed to move out
Donuts?
Yeah
During donuts you shouldn't worry about dps, just focus on positioning
You’re supposed to be on the edge/safe spot when the debuff ends
if you need to move out with Deceit, drop as far away as possible from the rest OR call for a monk bubble or something
If you’re caught in the darkness with deceit ask for external and use personals
As a rogue, if you are topped off, you can survive with feint (still ask for spot heals)
Ok but they tell me if I get deceit during donuts, I should have enough time to wait for the last one then go to the entrance or where the boss starts
or easiest - use cloak
My issue though is that when I wait there is like 2 seconds left
3 deceits are given, at different times
if you are first or 2nd, you dont have too much time
You should be saving cloak for those exact scenarios early tbh
Yeah when I get 1st or second I just panic and kill myself getti it out
