Yo there's like a billion sources of ROA and it's like week 10 come ooon.

last crown
#

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

civic palm
#

mmm, gooood luuuuck

#

:3

last crown
#

lmfao

#

figure im basically SoL this tier and will not be able to compete until Siege of Draz

civic palm
#

Good news is that you don't need 4+ pieces of tier to get a huge DPS boost.

last crown
#

i guess

#

i like tier. reorg is an unfun mechanic

#

doesnt add any real complexity

civic palm
#

Course not.

#

Neither did a lot of tier though.

last crown
#

i guess, but at least it felt exciting to get

#

reorg is just a weekly quest

civic palm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

last crown
#

also holy fuck i want a damn dagger above 355

thorny jasper
#

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+

karmic ingot
#

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.

#

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?

stray hatch
#

After you Exsang, you want to let your dots tick all the way down, right?

jaunty crystal
#

I know you do with garrote

#

I'm assuming rupture too

weary arrow
#

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?

atomic karma
#

50 dps difference between 395 construct and fathoms

marsh bloom
#

Yes @stray hatch

atomic karma
#

for pure st

marsh bloom
#

fathoms is OP in ST

#

construct sucks for Sin

atomic karma
#

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

marsh bloom
#

High Construct with Galecallers is actually pretty op for exsg I think

slim shuttle
#

Hello 😃 Do you always delay exsg 15s to use it together with galecaller?

marsh bloom
#

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

slim shuttle
#

ok thank you, i will do so 😃

stray hatch
#

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

marsh bloom
#

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

marsh bloom
#

Won't galecallers sim way higher than what it actually does in M+

#

since it's 20 sec 6 bosses for M+

brisk forge

#

Any veteren's out there able to give me a helping hand? PM please

celest swan
#

would u pref 100 versa or 100 haste for m+, current stats 1300crit, 950 mastery, 200 versa, 450 haste

brisk raptor
#

you need way more haste

celest swan
#

not for m+ mate

meager mason
#

Well for Tyranical Weeks you need haste else you can setup your campfire ;D

#

at least aiming for 10-15%

prime stirrup
#

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

celest swan
#

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 😄

wheat zealot
#

Your stats are good go with the haste for sure

#

Vers is meh

civic hatch
#

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?

lost horizon
#

Let them drop off fully

civic hatch
#

ok thanks

vast halo
#

is there an concensus between crimson tempest/poison bomb for this weeks affixes? for +15 keys

prime stirrup
#

go with ct except in KR

vast halo
#

cheers

celest swan
#

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

undone pasture
#

Cool cool thanks

quick void
#

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.

brisk forge
#

Not to shabby tbh

spice surge
#

Its okay, same ilvl dice or spyglass is better though

quick void
#

deadeye or firstmate?

#

I have 385 construct but I havent really used it yet cuz it sims worse

young socket
#

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?

shy axle
#

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.

young socket
#

Random otherwise my warrior would have 370 shoulders from Zuldazar emissary but has gotten chest twice now

shy axle
#

ok thx

strange python
#

Do you garrote twice only on opener and with vanish or on every exsan. Cd?

acoustic latch
#

if you have shroud trait, I believe it is only on opener and vanish

indigo yacht
#

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

shy escarp
#

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+

timid cradle
#

might be a stupid question, but is there a way to see what places are good to skip in m+?

normal spear
#

!m+

prisma monolithBOT
normal spear
#

2x SS + twist the knife is better than 1 SS, 1 scent of blood + twist in m+, right?

drifting elbow
#

depends on ilvl of azerites

normal spear
#

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

drifting elbow
#

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

normal spear
#

thanks

spice surge
#

Reeeeeeee didnt get zandalari shoulders this time either

#

Never better SS traits for m+ 😦

shy escarp
#

i'm trying to get a better SS helm, mines is only 360.

spice surge
#

You cant get a better ss helm outside of your weekly chest though

shy escarp
#

welp. i think i'm in the same boat with trying to get an ace up the sleeve chest for outlaw

spice surge
#

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

steep obsidian
#

i wouldn't say easy

#

i think it will still take a few weeks to get a specific one

quick ice
#

I mean, easy in that you don't have to do much, hard in that it takes ages?

steep obsidian
#

I guess

dreamy fiber
#

Dont have to do much, except run every difficulty of every piece of content for azerite to scrap

steep obsidian
#

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

dreamy fiber
#

I don't think that is unpopular

steep obsidian
#

i never went hard enough to burn myself ot

#

not my fault other dickheads did and then complained

dreamy fiber
#

I think they problem is, they removed all grinds

#

AP/Leggos/Rep Mounts/Artifact skins

drifting elbow
#

🤔

#

there is islands and AP grinds

#

and m+

#

grinding hasnt really changed, just different sources

dreamy fiber
#

Islands aren't content

#

And I have all traits unlocked why grind anymore

spice surge
#

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?

drifting elbow
#

islands that offers different items based on kills there and big ap gains there?

spice surge
#

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

dreamy fiber
#

370 pieces yes. Because I can't grind 385 azerite 🤷

drifting elbow
#

u can grind them once patch hits

#

enjoy that

dreamy fiber
#

I will. Thanks

finite yacht
#

I prefer a grind, instead of leaving up to rng gods to not screw me

spice surge
#

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

strange python
#

3x SS or 2xSS+Titans? m+

crystal vault
#

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.

glacial steppe
#

My 345 SS pieces already sim higher in M+ than my 385 azerite pieces and yet SS gets buffed

#

want to puke

spice surge
#

It doesnt

#

It just gets its tooltip updated to reflect how much damage it does instead of just a flat number

glacial steppe
#

So it already scales with versa and is just a tooltip update?

strange python
#

is two ss pieces good with 1 archives?

crystal vault
#

yes

#

@glacial steppe

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?

unkempt karma
#

Seems as a slight need but to big tbh.

#

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

barren sleet
#

Sorry if this has been posted but I couldnt find it. Is SS still bugged where you cant use 4 garrotes?

brave gyro
#

No, it's fixed

barren sleet
#

Ok, so you can drop the three free ones and then the normal one

hi guys, quick question: when is generally the best time to use envenom?

  1. when Elaborate Planning ends
  2. when Elaborate Planning is about to end (like 0.1s so envenom benefits for the bonus damage)
  3. when Envenom buff is going to expire
last crown
#

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

spice surge
#

Tbh it doesnt really matter, the difference is abysmally small

last crown
#

after that, you want to maximize EP and Envenom buff uptimes (they should be relatively similar due to durations)

celest ruin
#

oh is it really? i thought 15% bonus damage on envenom would be huge

last crown
#

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

spice surge
#

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

last crown
#

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

celest ruin
#

okay thanks guys

brave gyro
#

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

spice surge
#

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

brisk raptor
#

Finally got my 370 shoulder with SS trait, so I am running eith 2xSS/1xArchive. Cant wait to test it on m+

pliant nest
#

yea still hoping for that shoulder myself ^^

short arch
#

Can you get a Chest with DD from emissary caches?

sturdy python
#

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

hollow grove
#

are you guys popping boon instantly on burst

sturdy python
#

On CD, use it right before exsang if you're running that

brave gyro
#

I run 3x SS in M+, not sure if Archive is worth outside Uldir 🤷

sturdy python
#

Archive isn't bad in m+, it's constantly at 20 stacks

brave gyro
#

might try it then

#

you think it outweighs 3xSS ?

exotic ice
#

What WA you guys using?

brave gyro
#

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

sturdy python
#

No I don't, SS is too good. Given same ilvl of course

spice surge
#

@short arch Honorbound/SI:7

grim totem
#

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?

cold meteor
#

Pandemic

spice surge
#

We do on pull if you have the trait shrouded suffocation, check the pins here and scroll down for pandemic

short arch
#

@spice surge So it does drop honorbound stuff? Only getting the same pieces everytime ._.

grim totem
#

Oh. My bad but thanks for answering

spice surge
#

Yes honorbound emissaries can drop a DD chest

short arch
#

oh boi

do you guys run with crimson tempest or poison bomb in kr?

modest badge
#

should i be going for x3 shroud traits even if i got to equip lower item level armor for mythic plus?

unkempt karma
#

SS in m+ really shines, I would say try it out 😃

quasi pewter
#

depends on the traits on ur higher ilvl gear and the difference in ilvl

spice surge
#

There is a m+ chart on herodamage.com that you can have a look at and do a rough comparison @modest badge

primal sigil
#

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

grave delta
#

2 SS 1 Archive or 2SS 1 Scent for m+ this week ya guys think? same ilvl piece

desert vault
#

Archive probably. I think scent is better for fortified weeks or really high keys like 14+

grave delta
#

im running mostly 14s this week but archive feels really good on tyrannical. hm

modest badge
#

its a 360 with shroud and a 375 with archive, 15% downgrade

sim it 😄

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

spice surge
#

Oh mb then

#

Guess i didnt look hard enough

fresh ginkgo
#

can we use the m+ script in top gear?

grave delta
#

how can a single script give you weights for the dozens of different pull types you will encounter... seems....unlikely

spice surge
#

I mean its not supposed to be 100% accurate

#

Its an approximation

opaque grotto
#

That’s like saying you shouldn’t use a patchwerk sim to sim for raids because not every fight is the same

hearty junco
#

does anyone have the updated WA party interupt?

lone junco
#

@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

spice sorrel
#

do you guys like running CT on shrine?

fresh ginkgo
#

i do

prime stirrup
#

Ya shrine is a good one for CT. Most pulls are 4+mobs

round harbor
#

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

last crown
#

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+

round harbor
#

Even at high end

#

Too much variace

last crown
#

i guess

ruby idol
#

The big m+ boys just sim weights for 6 tar and 1 tar and then feelycraft from there

spice surge
#

A lot of them barrely play assa either

marsh bloom
#

what do allot of them play?

ruby idol
#

That's untrue, its half and half depending on the dungeon

#

I'm 2300 I play assa a lot

spice surge
#

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

marsh bloom
#

14% haste sound alright for M+ with Dice/Galecallers?

#

24% crit 14% haste 34% mastery?

#

6 tar? @ruby idol

zinc furnace
#

which talents do u guys prefer on high tyrranical KR?

lone junco
#

If you can be 30c 5h 40m.

analog glade
#

Hi guys, i play with 2 Archive and 1 SS its good for MM+ ?

lone junco
#

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.

ruby idol
#

uh ya thats fine shitty

#

id prolly drop a little haste for some crit and mastery but i wouldnt sacrifice ilvl

fresh ginkgo
#

3ss pepehands

#

if today was a cache i would have a chance 😦

#

yea helm is the hardest

craggy raptor
#

Do you guys use vanish on adds on mythrax?

round harbor
#

Depends on group comp/CD rotation

strange python
#

Do you vendetta and galecallers before opener or before exsang?

#

Im not quite sure how the interaction is with exsang

spice surge
#

#

Yy

lone junco
#

I should jump to 17k soon. We are hopefully starting mother this coming week. Else I'm done until next tier tbh.

royal lantern
#

no 385 weapon or azerite gear and wiping on ghuun, wich means im stuck with 17k until he is dead

lone junco
#

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.

round harbor
#

Mythic?

lone junco
#

Yeah.

round harbor
#

What realm are you on

lone junco
#

Thrall horde.

round harbor
#

You should be able to put mother

#

Pug*

lone junco
#

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.

stable pine
#

@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+

ruby idol
#

Wear the 95s

#

I only really sacrifice ilvl for sockets

silent parcel
#

When im trying to step to our black ox statue on ghuun it says you cant use that here, thought we could use ss?

tulip tide
#

yo dudes, how accurate is raidbots sims? Do they have correct sims for all specs?

lost horizon
#

They use the APLs from simcraft

#

You can flip from nightly or weekly build

lone junco
#

@tulip tide for rogue specifically it is the best tool we have.

#

Doesn't mean it is perfect. But there isn't anything better.

round harbor
#

Ur brain is better

#

Can raidbots make cereal?

#

I DONT THINK SO

silent parcel
#

How do you use vendetta on M G'huun?

spice surge
#

@round harbor Can you make cereal?

#

I mean you can pour it in a bowl

#

But can you actually make it? 🤔

pearl nebula
#

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.

spice surge
#

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

pearl nebula
#

thanks alot

round harbor
#

I can put the cereal in the bowl and add orange juice. So yes I be making ceral

spice surge
#

Orange juice? That sounds like the most american thing i've ever heard

#

But thats off-topic 😉

vagrant onyx
#

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 ?

vocal wave
#

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?

round harbor
#

Why would you

#

In fetid unpredictable blinks/steps are very very bad

vocal wave
#

So wait, I shouldn't SS the stomps at all?

round harbor
#

Your also potentially spreading to every melee

#

You can, I wouldnt

vocal wave
#

Alright

#

So I just don't SS the stomps if I have the aoie

round harbor
#

Position yourself so you get knocked into the wall, or not knocked back at all

vocal wave
#

Don't really have that luxury since we have DKs who take the wall spot

round harbor
#

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

vocal wave
#

Alright

#

We got 5 melee, exc tanks atm

round harbor
#

Ye think we run 6 on fetid

vocal wave
#

Do you have any logs I can have a look at some positioning

round harbor
#

Our last kill before extending

#

I'll see if I can find you a video of it as well

vocal wave
#

Cheers

round harbor
#

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

grim blade
#

for exsang builds w/ galecallers, do you wait every time to snapshot?

#

err wait to pair them together

i dont always

but you should if CD's are close

#

"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"

Chose to record my g'huun hc kill today, any idead on where one could post such & get some feedback?

safe matrix
#

given that you'd be posting it for feedback, ideally a log would be better, but you can post it here

strange python
#

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? ^^

safe matrix
#

since that wouldnt be self advertisement, more like self improvement

#

@strange python gotta sim it

rapid flame
safe matrix
#

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

round harbor
#

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

rapid flame
#

That was mainly to just dish some damage - but yeah thats not the way to play it entirely right in P1 :b

round harbor
#

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 😃

round harbor
#

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

rapid flame
#

Yeah, thats kinda how it went :b

#

But cheers for confirming 😃 appreciate ^^

round harbor
#

if anyone else has tip/tricks id love to hear aswell

supple hearth
#

he got a 99 tho 🤷 just need to min-max better

round harbor
#

giggle i see u lerking

supple hearth
rapid flame
#

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

supple hearth
#

if you padded on adds better in p1 you'd have done more

round harbor
#

99% means you had your dots up and didnt die

#

in heroic atleast

supple hearth
#

you spent way too much time on the dark young

#

as they said already

round harbor
#

obviously what i posted isnt 100% doable every pull, but its what would be ideal

supple hearth
#

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

round harbor
#

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

rapid flame
#

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 😦

i run orbs on ghuun

round harbor
#

just be the best player in the raid and then you dont have to do mechanics

#

4head

supple hearth
#

pretty much

#

or if its heroic just pug a mechanic bot

#

so u can pad

pastel wasp
#

would u believe its because i do good in raids that they put me on orbs

round harbor
#

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

pastel wasp
#

mythic

round harbor
#

mythic 18 people run

#

but yeah, be in group 5 lol and only run once

PB or CT for shrine?

#

If you’re not sure whether you should run PB or CT, the answer is PB.

#

But really though, play sub for shrine.

cunning needle
#

and hope that people dont aoe down the small adds?

karmic ingot
#

You’ll still smash even if they do.

cunning needle
#

do you? i would have thought that with all the adds down you lose a ton of damage since nothing to shuri storm on

karmic ingot
#

Sub is decent for normal AoE stuff. It’s amazing for AoE stuff where you can abuse its priority damage.

cunning needle
#

kk i might try it out then next time i run SotS

any recommended azerite traits? or just go on whatever is highest ilvl

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

cunning needle
#

GCB and Fathoms but also sim yourself

karmic ingot
#

Archive and first dance are solid. Basically things that give you stats that can be applied to eviscerate damage.

strange python
#

yo quick question

karmic ingot
#

Galecaller and dice for M+, Galecaller and fathoms for raid.

strange python
#

with galecaller's, do you hold vendetta 15 seconds for exsang to come up?

cunning needle
#

yes

strange python
#

tyty

cunning needle
#

you exsang off cd

karmic ingot
#

Yes. Hold vendetta, don’t hold exsanguinate.

cunning needle
#

and dont hold GCB for exsang

strange python
#

only 3rd one amirite?

cunning needle
#

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

strange python
#

thanks 😃

karmic ingot

It’s probably more like ~2:18 so you can vanish.

ah yeah

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

safe matrix
#

that looks more like a statement thinkW

kind steppe
#

ya but

#

I try to

#

But I feel like I'm not doing it perfectly

safe matrix
#

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

kind steppe
#

ye ikr

safe matrix
#

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

kind steppe
#

Ya but for exemple this week

safe matrix
#

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

kind steppe
#

It's like "deal damage on trash and fuck boss"

safe matrix
#

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

kind steppe
#

Alrighty then

#

Gonna do my best

rustic ether
#

raidbots wont let me change out my darkmoon deck for a 375 lions guile someone kill me i hate holding this 355 trinket

karmic ingot
#

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.

rustic ether
#

wait does your raidbots not have a gun to your head?

karmic ingot
#

Nah, I pulled mine first.

rustic ether
#

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

karmic ingot
#

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.

queen scaffold
#

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.

cosmic pier
#

there is no magical go to number, just gotta sim yourself and firgure out what your stat priority

steep obsidian
#

haste looses a lot for multi target but as always what that guy says sim it

cosmic pier
#

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

queen scaffold
#

i use sim craft how do i sim for multiple targets.

civic palm

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).

allota people say heed my call is really good for M+ but it doesn't sim that well

winter moss

heed my call is good for packed fights

#

just keep up 5 ruptures and spam fok

#

garotte 3 enemies

marsh bloom
#

I only use PB on KR and Temple right?

winter moss
#

tbh i use pb almost everywhere

#

depends on your tank

#

if he pulls only one pack at a time

#

ct is useless

marsh bloom
#

and if he pulls allot

#

shouldn't we be spamming CT

#

and not trying to get rupture on like all the targets possible

safe matrix
#

the conditions to use pb are pretty much small pulls or if you need the boss damage

#

so KR and potentially temple of sethraliss

brisk raptor
#

Do you mean 12k on ST? That not that bad tho

civic palm
#

Probably Overall

marsh bloom
#

overall lol

#

I only checked for 2 dungeons so idk for sure

brisk raptor
#

take Freehold for example

#

whats ur stats there?

#

I mean overall DPS

marsh bloom
#

do I wanna spam CT over getting all my ruptures out?

steep obsidian
#

you won't be able to without the energy from the ruptures

true gyro
#

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

steep obsidian
#

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

true gyro
#

except im not running subterfuge but master assassin

steep obsidian
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

true gyro
#

hehe

steep obsidian
#

as long as its not gettng a 2nd cast it doesnt matter then

ruby idol
#

If they're dying before 2nd cast just use them for energy to funnel boss dmg

true gyro
#

yeah was thinking that as well, should probably not waste toxic blade on the adds then

brisk raptor
#

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

lost horizon
#

@vestal wren continue here then?

vestal wren
#

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+.

vocal wave
#

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?

vestal wren
#

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

lost horizon
#

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

vestal wren
#

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

lost horizon
#

Oh I didn't realize that there were nerfs incoming

vestal wren
#

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

lost horizon
#

With enough targets it would be

#

And oh yeah, okay

vestal wren
#

yes ofc, if the targets survive suefficient long and you have enough targets its the better talent

marsh bloom
#

12.6k on freehold

#

but kicker

west gate
#

Hmm how many Ruptures do you keep on on trash in m+ lets say freehold 13

marsh bloom
#

it took 56 minutes

vestal wren
#

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

west gate
#

What about ruptures how many target do you apply it too ? Before you just spam FAN and envenom the focus target ?

brave gyro
#

I think anything over 4 ruptures becomes too much, and can't spend the energy

#

as far as I remember at least

lost horizon
#

There's a few dungeons where you're better off with PB though @vestal wren

young socket
#

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

@frosty robin ayyy

every time i come in here

brave gyro
#

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

frosty robin
#

someone i have never seen before, seems to know me

#

its heckin strange

wut

frosty robin
#

or maybe i just forget everyone all the time

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.

frosty robin
#

im good with names irl and shit

#

but in discord wow twitter and stuff

civic palm
#

mmm sure sure

frosty robin
#

idk i wouldnt know where half my friends list comes from on bnet

vocal wave
#

So I'm still using Mutilate too much

#

And losing out on Envenoms

brave gyro
#

if you have 4 CP, u use finisher

solid nova
#

If you're at 4+ theres no reason to mut again

#

Especially 4 times 😄

Sounds like freaking out during the encounter.

#

Hey, maybe he is making a point?

vocal wave
#

I hadthis issue before and was focusing on ratifying it

solid nova
#

There's actually a decent chunk of tripple muts there mate

#

And several quads

#

Thats a big issue in itself

frosty robin
#

oof

vocal wave
#

But atm it seems like I'm losing track of shit as the fight goes on

civic palm
#

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.

frosty robin
#

Maybe your UI makes it more difficult for you rather than help you, Mango Boi

brave gyro
#

Side note: how do you check how many Muti's are done for a finisher?

frosty robin
#

cast sequence table

#

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

#

Sounds like it's not obvious enough.

#

(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

civic palm
#

Yeah I thought you were new-ish, it's just gonna be a time thing.

frosty robin
#

😉

civic palm
#

Make sure you can notice thing without having to focus on them, get more familiar.

vocal wave
#

Alright, I'll get a handle on my CP gen and spenders and try to focus more during encounters on my CP

frosty robin
#

yup

brave gyro
#

Speaking of Vectis, am I doing it right, to save TB for the add every time?

civic palm
#

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.

shy escarp
#

Well if you're in a guild like mine where our ranged DPS refuse to target switch, yes you are right :p

brave gyro
#

@shy escarp too real

civic palm
#

Rupture+DP meaning to just make sure that DP is on the add.

brave gyro
#

i started just ignoring the very first add, since it dies pretty fast, and then TB all the other adds

vocal wave
#

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

civic palm
#

Yeah if you are Lusting the beginning the first add explodes.

frosty robin
#

just make sure u vanish garrote on 2 targets every time

shy escarp
#

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

frosty robin
#

if u play subterfuge that is

shy escarp
#

I just funneled everything into add

vocal wave
#

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.

civic palm
#

No way you should be missing CPs.

#

Just get more familiar.

frosty robin
#

i think u show too many auras

#

if u have rup garrote tb vend evasion shadowstep its fucking cluttered bruv

vocal wave
#

It's a group, but they're all on for show atm I hardly ever show that much

civic palm
#

Personal preference > _>

#

Yeah it's just a disorganized dynamic group.

brave gyro
#

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

vocal wave
#

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

brave gyro
#

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

solid nova
#

The UI is clean for the most part, I personally wouldnt double up on the WAs for abilities but thats your preference.

civic palm
#

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.

brave gyro
#

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

prisma monolithBOT
civic palm
#

SO...

vocal wave
#

I prefer having my action bar high on my screen and use them for CDs and then use my WAs for the actual durations

brave gyro
#

i use Afenar's group, since its pretty clean and regularly updated

civic palm
#

But he's waaaaaaaaaay down there.

vocal wave
#

When I'm not targetting shit it all disappears anyways

frosty robin
#

I use my own weakauras always

vocal wave
#

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

brave gyro
#

Imo, it feels like you are overwhelming yourself with information, about passive things

vocal wave
#

The only things that really show 100% of the itme are Garotte, Rupture, Vendetta, Elaborate Planning, TB and Pots and so on.

brave gyro
#

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

solid nova
#

Yeah, pretty standard Elvui

brave gyro
#

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

That's the general opener for SS and Subertfuge with Exsang, aye

brave gyro
#

i've had SS for so long, i've forgotten how to open without it 😂

cloud grove
#

once gar falls do you vanish and garr x 2 befure rup?

brave gyro
#

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

cloud grove
#

hmm

unkempt mica
#

do i need to use toxic blade before envom?

brave gyro
#

TB oper (with SS) is:
gar, rup, gar, ven, tb, envenom

unkempt mica
#

tb = the best?

brave gyro
#

toxic blade

unkempt mica
#

im an idiot

#

haha

brave gyro
#

nw, now you know

unkempt mica
#

why ven then tb and then ven?

#

ven in envenom right?

brave gyro
#

Vendetta

solid nova
#

Vend is Vendetta. Envenom is usually shortened to Env

brave gyro
#

^

unkempt mica
#

gotcha

marsh bloom
#

UR a good PB ?

#

dungeon

drifting elbow
#

PB?

marsh bloom
#

poison bomb

drifting elbow
#

depends how tank pulls

#

latter half is already decent for PB, first half of the dungeon is the question

uncut solstice
#

hey guys do u use exsangu on cd or wait for vanish/vendett

#

mid fight end fight

drifting elbow
#

i do it on cd

marsh bloom
#

you NEVER hold exsg

strange python
#

When you do it on cd, do you set up rup to full duration like in the opener?

marsh bloom
#

well unless it's like a 2 minute fight

strange python
#

You can delay 4th exsang for 2:25

vocal harbor
#

when should we use second pots on vectis?

strange python
#

When raid leader tells u to

vocal harbor
#

just in line with second vendetta/vanish?

#

what if my raid leader is big noob

strange python
#

then use pots for big cds

vocal harbor
#

kk ty

unkempt mica
#

which addosn u guys use for pvp?

quick ice
primal sigil
#

about never holding exsang.. what if u have GCB ? do u line it up ? or just do that on the vendeetta exsangs ?

solid nova
#

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

hazy forge
#

do you guys envenom with 1-3 combo points if toxic blade is ending?

strange python
#

double SS means using exanguinate yeah?

lost sentinel
#

what do sims say for yourself, typically exsang/tb is about the same for me

buoyant coyote
#

I don't see that much azerite stacking on rogues via wcl

drifting elbow
#

well no wonder, since there isnt dominating one due to ilvl differences and having at least one raid azerite for buff

dusty jasper
#

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.

drifting elbow
#

lackluster?

dusty jasper
#

Yeah I have no AoE atm and being energy starved

drifting elbow
#

well its same feeling for nearly all classes

#

since u r low lvl

#

🤔

dusty jasper
#

I have never leveled a character before. Always boosted.

drifting elbow
#

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

dusty jasper
#

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?

strange python
#

this class has 3 specs

#

each plays differently

dusty jasper
#

I’m sorry I meant this spec.

strange python
#

assassin is bad for levelling

#

Level with outlaw or sub

radiant ivy
#

outlaw is nice for leveling since blade flurry allows you to pull more

dusty jasper
#

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?

strange python
#

-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.

radiant ivy
#

7.2 secs in rupture, 5.4 in garrote

dusty jasper
#

I saw that. Gotcha

#

Okay

radiant ivy
#

check if that's when they turn gree

dusty jasper
#

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?

strange python
#

no

radiant ivy
#

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

dusty jasper
#

That goes for all DoTs with this class?

radiant ivy
#

garrote and rupture only

#

iirc crimson tempest doesn't

lone junco
#

@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)

dusty jasper
#

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.

lone junco
#

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.

dusty jasper
#

LMAO

lone junco
#

just click buttons. until 120

radiant ivy
#

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

lone junco
#

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.

modest zodiac
#

What are y'all playing on zek mythic?

drifting elbow
#

idk about cheesing when mobs are actually challening in big packs since leveling changes

strange python
#

Outlaw

drifting elbow
dusty jasper
#

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?

strange python
#

deadly and slow

radiant ivy
#

slow sometimes

#

you don't want to slow bloodhexers in zul

drifting elbow
#

he is LEVELING

strange python
#

Who plays sin on zul

lone junco
#

zing

drifting elbow
#

very far from current raid things

modest zodiac
#

you cant apply wound and deadly

umbral scaffold
#

yeah wut sin on zul wut

lone junco
#

I do for heroic. 💪

drifting elbow
#

i zerg as sin at zul hc

lone junco
#

stick stick

drifting elbow
strange python
#

@modest zodiac we know that

lone junco
#

rip crags

umbral scaffold
#

yeah but HC, who cares

drifting elbow
#

many cares

radiant ivy
#

wow we're all top 10 mythic runners here

lone junco
#

always

dusty jasper
#

Thanks for the help guys. You guys are more responsive and friendly than the WW monk discord lol

drifting elbow
#

advicing so many about mythics specs when u r not doing mythics 😄

umbral scaffold
#

@lone junco wow toxic

lone junco
#

@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

umbral scaffold
#

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

acoustic latch
#

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

dusty jasper
#

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?

strange python
#

@acoustic latch You cant really do anything about it

acoustic latch
#

@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

fair hill
#

What @dusty jasper said. Never had a problem on Fetid, almost always my best fight

dusty jasper
#

True true.

acoustic latch
#

I don't have issues dps wise, just positioning

#

we're quite melee heavy

strange python
#

Roll void elf for a free tp 😄

umbral scaffold
#

@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

acoustic latch
#

Yea that is what I do now aswell, just want to make sure I am not missing anything here

radiant ivy
#

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

strange python
#

Use it before u start soaking

#

Pop sprint

#

And cloak

#

start soaking all spores

dusty jasper
#

I will be going horde this upcoming week and transferring my main as well. What are the top PvE races for us rogues?

strange python
#

Doesn't matter, play what you want

umbral scaffold
#

Troll i think

#

Gives a haste buff with the racial

#

So for assa it would be the best

strange python
#

But then its kinda useless for sub and outlaw

#

Best sim for sin is Blood elf

#

Also for subtlety

umbral scaffold
#

Where do u see this

strange python
#

Wowhead

umbral scaffold
#

i mean both bloodmallet and herodamage sims says troll is ahead in pure ST

dusty jasper
#

Interesting. Ty

strange python
#

Wowhead used charts from herodamage, perhaps they are outdated

#

🙂

#

Yeah they're just outdated

patent topaz
#

lol if you race change for dps

umbral scaffold
#

I mean he was swapping to horde from alliance, so he kinda needs a new race

wary ice
#

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

umbral scaffold
#

I just pop vendetta on priority mobs, and yes the racial is getting nerfed

wary ice
#

I sorta figured that to be the case but i was hoping there was some secret I was missing

warm sable
#

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 ?

strange python
#

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 %

quasi pewter
#

yea 10% for 12 seconds in 8.1

spice surge
#

Thats barrely a nerf though

quasi pewter
#

yea not that big

spice surge
#

A super tiny nerf, as they increased the duration

strange python
#

15-10?

#

ohh

quasi pewter
#

should still be best for assa

spice surge
#

From 10 to 12 seconds

strange python
#

theyre really not going to do any changes on rogues are they

#

thats pretty disappointing

#

other than those sub nerfs

quasi pewter
#

i mean the specs are fine mostly

spice surge
#

Tbh why would they, all of the rogue speccs are in a good place

quasi pewter
#

assa is good outlaw is fun aswell

#

sub is boring as fuck but idk how you would want to change that

strange python
#

eh i guess compared to other specs

#

but could use some more imo

quasi pewter
#

bring dfa back only option

strange python
#

also it kinda feels like the other 2 wont be competitive to sin

spice surge
#

not on ST no, but if there's more targets def possible

#

or rather, if theres aoe

royal lantern
#

sin rogue will always be only decent if you need burst aoe, thats where sub/outlaw shine

brave gyro
#

given enough mobs, Sin aoe is nutty

spice surge
#

Sustained aoe yes, the burst not so much

tropic shadow
#

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

brave gyro
static sky
#

Thx

tropic shadow
#

Trial by fire if your first boss is mythic Zek

brave gyro
#

What about Zek'voz is unclear? @static sky

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

brave gyro
#

Donuts?

static sky
#

Yeah

brave gyro
#

During donuts you shouldn't worry about dps, just focus on positioning

tropic shadow
#

You’re supposed to be on the edge/safe spot when the debuff ends

brave gyro
#

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

tropic shadow
#

If you’re caught in the darkness with deceit ask for external and use personals

brave gyro
#

As a rogue, if you are topped off, you can survive with feint (still ask for spot heals)

static sky
#

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

brave gyro
#

or easiest - use cloak

static sky
#

My issue though is that when I wait there is like 2 seconds left

brave gyro
#

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

static sky
#

Yeah when I get 1st or second I just panic and kill myself getti it out

brave gyro
#

i just wait for the last donut, go to china, pop cloak right before it hits

#

then shadowstep to friendlies inside if there is another donut
