Ok, and is there a logic behind who gets it? We did 20 pills last week and I got it in 16 of those pills, sometimes 2-3 times per a pull. Am I doing something wrong to get it so often?
nope, its random
sometimes u get all of them, sometimes you get none of them
just save sprint / ss for those as well
so you sprint out to drop it
Ok, and on the first set of donuts, those aren’t random right?
and if u dont have cloak, drop it in the donuts' safe zone, as far away from the rest as possible
What do you mean?
all deceits are random
When you first pull the boss, the pattern of the donuts
Ok but during one of them there is no safe zone except with everyone else?
I think one of them covers the entire room I mean except the one circle
its still circle, you just move away from where the rest are (usually towards the front of the room, as most play in the back of it)
Ok so assuming I get deceit first circle, I stay in te safe zone as long as possible towards one side of te room
Then sprint last second after final donut
Assuming I don’t have cloak
Hey guys, should i ditch sharpened blades to get shrouded suffocation? or is the dmg potential from blades too big?
unless there is some wild ilvl disparity, yes you should 😃
The bug the method guy talks about in the method assassination rogue guide (4th garrote used while having the shrouded trait) still exist?
nope
Nope @dusty jasper
no
I need one more person to say no
its both 370
For it to be true
"no" -winston churchill
Wonderful. Thanks all.
Also ditch archive of titans for 2nd shroud?
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
@dusty jasper Good news. No. The bug is fixed
thats more finnicky, but you want atleast one archive or lazer inside Uldir
make sure you select the right build. default is toxic blade, exsg= exsanguinate
4 boss 1min sim best way to sim what to use for m+ still
for traits I just use the list from herodamage
rest is feelycraft
I have roughly equal haste/crit/mastery
simming your own char is the best choice tho
Why use feelycraft when there is highly advanced simulation tools to give you precise answers?
I use ssx2 and I have a blightborne
Well if you use proper condition you get decent sims, but i thought you were still refering to the other guy about raids, mb
^
I am noticing with this spec / class you guys sim with a website not raidbots. Why is that?
yeah for raids I do sim my own character. the combinations can be deceiving at times
most people use raidbots/simcraft for simming raids
theres lists for easy reference. they are not going to be most accurate
But one of my ss is 345 wonder if I use my 385 dd instead of 345 ss for m+
@dusty jasper Elaborate please
@dusty jasper Raidbots is the Website we using
@final stone the list on herodamage says double dose but its gonna depend on the key ur doing
@final stone if the packs are small say on average 3 mobs then you're likely to mutilate a lot
but shrouded suffocation is also really powerful if the key is low where they die in 1 garrote
Ohhh okay. Gotcha. Some reason I thought hero damage was the website you guys were using to sim. Never used that website and assumed it was a sim website. All makes sense now lol.
@crisp steppeyeah I'm looking at it now. I think I'll run with my 385 and keep ss x 1
use raidbots to sim
It will play well with 14 and higher
yeah its a lot of stamina too
but traits i use bloodmallet because herodmg feels too cluttered and not organized
I havent looked at bloodmallet in a while but they didn't show the spec they are using for the sim
and they didn't have option for toxicblade/exsanguinate
Nor do bloodmallet have any variation with talents, so SS is listed as the worst trait
Also this week coming up is going to be slow so I'll def swap yo that 385 over my 345
Because it runs tb/ma
yeah it runs the default simc shit yeah?
@final stone also on short burst fights shrouded suffocation is gonna be really strong.
@final stone fortified n shit
Anyone else crying where their 370 Dice sims 0.2% lower than Darkmoon card? 😄
since you exsanguinate it and then vanish you spend most of the fight with empowered garrotes
I'm kinda sick of Darkmoon card trinket is what im getting at
And also, herodamage is just old ravenholdt rebranded, so the main guys running it are rogues from this discord
Just get a higher dice 4Head
@crisp steppeyeah if I run low keys I'll run double ss other wise I think I'm going to run ss/dd/blightborne until I get at least a 370 ss shoulders
shit, didn't thought of that. Tanks @spice surge 😄
hope I get a nice blightborne sometime
can use for my other specs too then 😃 and its sick
I have a 375 helm that I use now it's pretty nice
I get BiS for enchanting almost every week 😎
385 ss
Those sweet crystals
At around 375 ilvl, what overall dps should we be in M+, around +10?
we really can't tell
do you pull big etc
On a boss on a patchwerktyranical encounter I'd say around 16-20k
if your group is decent
He was asking overall @glad ferry 😛
Yikes, I'm fucking something up then.
Yeap, that's why i said 14-18 is a good average 😄
Can I log m+ runs?
@tropic rover don't sweat it too much tho. It depends a lot on how you pull, if you wipe, etc. Also, it mostly counts in premade groups imo. In pugs my dps goes down because of how things are pulled
Also ilvl is an awful indication of damage. 365 with good stats, good traits and socket can do more damage than 375 with bad ones
@brave gyro I gotcha, that makes sense.
I agree @spice surge ilvl is the bane of pugs atm
even back in legion, i would be like 740 bis, and then some random guy with 755 is shocked i outdps him 😄
I think my stats are pretty good, I only have one socket though.
740 was like mythic hfc tho
ah maybe 800+ already forgot what the ilvls were haha 😄
i dont see any information on tb vs exsang in the pins
is there somewhere i can go to read about it?
You use what sims the highest
And exsang for dungeons (as you should be using shrouded traits which synergizes with exsang)
Or advice i got from Method's rogue: "You whatever the fuck you want. It doesn't matter"
Haha, yeah. I stopped carrying about it. I'll push keys with premade, not pugs. @celest chasm
I think raiderio score are pretty reliable
It’s a resume for all the dungeons you’ve done
i think everyone pretty much quit bfa
i just log in hit one pug a week dont really care as long as its higher than 8 and pop 3 raid bosses and log off
How would I can expect you to reliable run thru +15 with me if the highest you’ve done is a 10?
The only problem i see with it is that it doesnt register low-level runs on highly populated servers
i mean, i get declined for a +6 because i have 913 rio score instead of 1k 🤔
So i kinda stopped pushing about a month ago. Haven't moved since then
But in general its good
Also, I get nothing atm from anything besides Mythic raids. And I am not willing to spend hours grinding for a potential titanforge. But that's just me 🤷
although since i play on a low pop server
i get a little extra priority in pugs on mondays
which is nice for me 😛
reliably running a 10 even IF you haven't done it before is such a smaller feat then a 15.
i was 4400 legion not the greatest but i know the bfa dungeons and i dont even have a char over 1100 cuz of how lazy i am to even do m+ in this expac, just boring overall.
but i could prob hit any of the dungeons 13+ without any issues on my rogue or dh
just my 2c
It's the same thing as it used to be with Gearscore. Sure, it has got it's merits, but it's also widely overused to weed out people that would probably have been fine in a dungeon anyway.
having a hard time getting in anything other then +4 because of my 318 score. I dont have time to run mythic plus fulltimes
infested isnt that bad
as long as you have players that are proactively CCing and tank that knows how to pull around it
People don’t want “fine” they prefer a smooth run and 1 shots. That’s why you see some grps requiring 370+aotc for heroics
i played w my push buddies from legion a few times, they still going hard, and even w proper pulls the keys feel so much slower than they did in legion
!azerite
Do my azerite traits stack?
The damage part of azerite Stacks.
Other components can be assumed to stack however with some exceptions and limitations.
You can check https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/azerite-stacks/1t-t22-assassination for estimations.
Because legion was just an aoe fest
fun fest*
I get that, but isn't it a kind of shame that some people have gotten to the point that they can't tolerate 1 wipe?
Nothing really to interrupt
I mean when i pug hcs i look for group with either 380 or 375 requirements, i just want big blast and 100% no wipes
1 wipe can cook a key
Now you actually have to pay attention to mechanics
depending on your speed
plenty of interrupts, its not like these mobs are tough to interrupt once you learn whats necessary and what isnt
go into maw w/o interrupt prio
lel
@noble ingot I don't feel any incentive to run higher M+ this expansion. AP is shit, items are too low ilvl. 🤷
But I also don't like it to feel like a waste of time
and my argument is that not only is it not worthwhile, but they slowed the game down drastically making it unfun
More like a bonus objective
ikr
So run some 10 carries and make easy gold?
How important is it to keep track of elaborate planning?
meh
@languid olive not at all. It’s a shame that you even have ONE wipe at this point because the raid has been out for 2 months
oh
Raids we don't wipe :p
Extremely minor @latent field
one wipe will most likely ruin a 15+ key
we wipe raids 
@latent field it’s more important at different times. The only times where it should really be on your mind is when you are trying to clip envenoms with the buff during TB, or maintaining 100% uptime on EP while exsanguinate dots are applied
I just dislike the 10 runs that get over-achievers checking all scores. 10 is perfectly doable :p
I’m 1500 io and I personally leave a Grp if I see that they are underscored for the key that they’re trying to do
Why wouldn’t you check scores for a 10? If you’re a good player, why wouldn’t you take 3s out of your time to read the score on their tooltip? Saves you so much of a hassle
I normally proactively kick almost everything (been runs where i double the interrupts of my teammates combined), outperform in dps. Though i cant be arsed to keep running "low" keys to only get upgrades through titanforging
Well I guess people playing more m+ might also be more prone to find the hassle then me.
maybe we should move the discussion to #wow-general before mods Backstab us
Sure
(kick as in interrupt)
i did a +15 shrine key with a bunch of 1200s last night, i told them a dps MUST take the debuff on the last boss otherwise we wouldnt kill it in time. That's literally the only way to kill it on a +15 tyrannical week, but the dps player refused to do it
this is what happened after
😦
any +1500 player would volunteer to take the buff because they know its the only way
its stuff like that, that makes io useful
Ya sure. Though I would expect anyone with a brain to listen to tips when given :p
But I see your point
io shows that ppl already have run an instance before, but if they exploit the system (think of beefing scores through low-populated servers, buying runs) the high score doesn't guarantee that players have a brain
it sure doesnt
but low io scores guarantee that players definitely dont have a brain 😛
or that ppl dont run mythic plus dungeons that much
where can I read up on how exsanguinate works and how haste effects it?
aka dont have a brain in M+
@rigid sonnet Works like haste does with every dot, with the exception that it "snapshots" your haste the moment you use the ability. (so the tick-rate is constant through the entire thing rather than fluctuating if your stats change)
and how much is haste worth for exsanguinate? is it worth waiting for 15 seconds with exsang off cd to make sure I get trinket in there
is it possible to evis cheese shrine boss with the adds in last phase as long as tank kites?
even tho it will make me lose out on a full normal exsanguinate before cdäs are back up
Sorry, went Sub last night for Zul, have evis on the brain, this is assassination channel sorry, lol
But yes @arctic ravine
tyty
ait, checks out. tyvm for answers
@primal gazelle I can agree to that to a certain level. I atleast feel like an exception to that rule though 😃
First part of io score is doing all the zones. Right?
We seem to do the same zones over and over.
If I have ~15 seconds on my bleeds left and exsanguinate comes off cooldown do I wait to refresh my bleeds or do I hit exsanguinate? Or should I refresh my bleeds early (before the pandemic window)?
I usually refresh them early to maximize the value of exsanguinate. You’re trading a few GCDs, energy, and combo points for a few more ticks of super bleeds. Hard to say for sure if it’s worth it.
@lone junco you get score from all zones but the most efficient way to do all zones and get a score for all zone instead of 0 for some zone which brings down your average
Noobe’s point is that people have a tendency to run, for example, Freehold and Atal’Dazar repeatedly and never touch Shrine of the Storm or Temple of Sethralis keys. If you want to get your raider.io score up , make sure you have scores for all dungeons.
i assume with sharpened blades trait u put that spell into rotation at max stacks ?
When dealing with trash in M+, you don
don't need to 4-5CP Rupture all the mobs do you?
depends on long you expect them to live
maybe i should just take thunderous blast instead 😄
would you guys queue for this dungeon with this dudes io score? 😛
yes?
he wants to do a 15 ML and his highest done is a 9...
esp as a tank, instant deplete key imo
@latent locust you plan to use at 29 stacks, because you autoattack in pairs and you don’t want to waste a stack. In an ideal situation, you have planned your rotation in a way that you have elaborate planning up when you cast it. This usually amounts to delaying a finisher 2-5 seconds in order for stacks to accumulate (outside of TB or Exsang active times ofc)
If you want to join a 15 with an unknown entity, more power to you. But you could just do a 13 with a competent group and get a better score anyways. (Not related to sharpened blades message)
I know its a bit late to ask, but for M+ with these affixes which talent comps are better? Exa/CT or Tb / PB. The bosses hit harder so they have to die faster. What do you think about that?
PB is like 2-3% single target damage, it’s not worth keeping in most situations. CT usage generally depends more on the dungeons than the affixes, how big the pulls are.
@ionic charm thank you!

wait so i m a noob playing m+ without CT? 😄
running without CT in most dungeons 
it was pretty awful when i accidentally had PB talent on instead of CT for FH, lost quite a lot of dmg on overall

who cares about overall damage when u can just kill stuff
but u kill better with CT 
Who cares about talents when you don't get invited

PB is fine in dungeons. It’s low on overall damage, but you’ll be using more ruptures and envenom on trash. Plus CT is a dead talent on most bosses. The overall damage difference isn’t as big as people make it out to be. Especially on lower keys.
if anyone has 375 zul shoulders can you please post your raidbots, I want to sim it and need the id to paste into mine. just want to see how much of an upgrade it will be
need it to use my 390 DD and 390 SS
Anyone mind telling me what talents and honor talents to run on assassin when lvling from 110-120 plz?
whatever is easiest to play with plz and ty!
“If”
Huh?
What is?
Ive no idea what yall are talking about
i just want an easy simple talent and honor talent build for lvling from 110-120
That’s why discord lets you scroll up for context.
He's answering a previous question.
what
For leveling, I wouldn’t recommend assassination, but if you’re gonna do it anyway, the standard max level builds are fine.
if you have access to legion legendaries, sub with shoulders is a beast for leveling
For PvP talents, take stuff that is a passive damage increase.
So i shouldnt lvl as assassin?
Sub with shoulders is like 2-3 GCDs per kill. It’s insane.
You can do whatever you want
Oh, take marked for death too for whichever spec you choose.
Ill give yall my talent build right now
Who cares if it takes 2 seconds longer per mob, what matters is how much you enjoy it
i destroyed with FoK with leggos when assassin leveling
thats a lot of time

3 SS for dungeons, 1 385 and 2 370 
MP Subterfuge,MFD,Elusiveness,internal bleeding,toxic blade, poison bomb
thats what im rolling with regular talents
now honor
Were you running hidden blades or something @drifting elbow?
System shock deadly brew smoke bomb
but im completely unsure if any of those talents are right
havent played my rogue in a bit
yeah, i just stacked FoK talents
Don’t bother with elusiveness. Just pick up leeching poison.
Nice. I could totally see that being pretty OP.
leeching poison in what?
levelling
Shoulders, cloak, night stalker, hidden blade, PvP thing, Azerite traits. Lots of stuff you can stack to make FoK OP before 116.
I have shoulders thats it
Cant afford any other right now sadly
any reccomendations for a unit frame addon?
Ok maybe ill lvl as outlaw
D:
lol
Assassin so much to keep up with
especially with so many adds on you
are blizzard removing any rogue traits like they are removing traits from other classes?
azerite traits i mean
What class are getting traits removed? Fairly certain none are, they're just getting changed
https://ptr.wowhead.com/rogue-changes-tides-of-vengeance
Heres all the rogue changes thats been on the ptr's atleast
warlock and dh are getting some traits removed apparently
its not getting put on notes
Oopss
is shroud actually getting a buff? Pog
not by a lot
yeah but its already our bis so
yee mainly m+
Its not getting buffed, its just the tooltip getting updated
oh makes sense
Do you really think they would buff SS by like 50% after nerfing it?
honestly I dont expect anything from blizzard anymore
the new Nothing Personal trait looks good for pvp
Yeah its going to scale with versatility
is the shrouded mantle defensive trait any good? or should I go for resounding protection? I primarily do M+
Its just getting its tooltip updated, it already scales with versa and your AP
But the tooltip is just a static number based on ilvl currently
Is nothing personal that trait that makes vendetta put a dot on your target?
Ez legion copy + paste
I’m not sure why blizzard thought “from the shadows” was the legion ability we wanted
is the SS changes a buff to its dmg ? since it base is the same but with new maths to add vers aswell ?
i dont think its a change at all, just tooltip clarification
^
ghuun
Guys, what would you reccomend for PVP talents for aasa? Worldpvp / arena 2v2
I have System shock, Creeping venom, Deadly brew and I am considering switching Deadly for Smoke bomb. Not sure, need your opinions, thank you! 😃
sorry, I just got up and am a bit scatterbrained. But yes its just a tooltip clarification 😄
hey, is the atal dazar talisman any good for rogues? got a socket in it too
Hey hey, i was wondering if i could get Some help on my logs/parses. Guild is @ fetid right now so i could use better parses to get unbenched ‘:D thx in advance
<— Maagd
Why do you tripple mutilate so much?
finish on 4+
And you're not utilising your TB windows properly. You need to be focusing on planning ahead so you can push envenoms out. You're TBing before phase starts too, essentially wasting a TB cast with no follow-ups
You also finished the fight with a triple mutilate, Rupture as your final cast
Need to get a handle on your CP usage as a main prio
And you're not using TB as often as possible either, missing out on roughly 3 casts on that fight (not counting the elevator phase)
Thx for The feedback. Yea that 3x mutilate mistake is something i recently noticed..
Yea biggest thing is he mutilates at 4 CP all the time

hiya everyone...ive seen some people play with master assassin and twist the knife...for me it seems just about equal with the exeption that it probably bursts way..way higher...how would u think an opener with master assasin and twist the knife would look like..im trying to make this work
Probably the same as the regular master assassin opener..
Twist the knife doesn’t change your rotation
Instead of feelycrafting you should sim the combination
and see the cast sequence?
It’s the same as the opener in the guide
Twist the knife doesn’t change anything, just makes your envenom hit harder
can you even see the cast sequence if using the free version of raidbots?
Yes, to the right of the sim result click on the link that opens the html version
I promise you it’s the same as every other master assassin opener
Twist the knife does not change this
Do you guys know if shroud of suffaction applies the same way on non silenceable mobs vs silenceable mobs?
Yes, the damage is the same
oh ok
Otherwise it wouldn’t work on raid bosses LOL
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hi, I’m looking to parse better than I currently am https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/dalaran/lothandorian.

i'm sorry if this was pinned i did not see it, which talent do you take Exsanguinate or Toxic blades if you dont have any shroud?
is it possible to use the dungeon fight script with top gear?

So the main thought process with this spec is to use CP spenders at 4 or higher in order to not waste CP. and also not let energy reach max all while maintaining DoT uptime and cool down windows for burst?
Keep your bleeds up
Pool a little energy before toxic blade so you can fit at least 2 envenoms within that window
Bruh who just nazi’d my post
@quaint sequoia not yet. Likely at 8.1
@dusty jasper it's not so much use at 4+ as dont mut on 4. You can still garrot or tb.
Wait who used slurs?
Being toxic again
You?

All of us

broke 17k sim, 380 ilvl EQ and recleared 6/8 with a new guild, today is good day! 👍
Idk. I'm new here.
So you should always use CP spenders on 5 to get max value? (Outside of opener)
4/5.
But it is ok to use garrote to hit 5
But if it is on cd. Then you can tb. If it is on cd just finish at 4
Aka don't mut at 4
Gotcha. So if generators are on cooldwown and you have 4 CP you should spend those CP and move on?
You can press literally any button except for mut at 4 CP
Yes.
Oh that’s an easy concept
Over capping cps is bad. Finishing with 3 is probably bad. So we aim for 4/5
(3cp ruptures aren't horrible but they hurt your pb)
I’m learning I’m learning.
What situations would you not want to reapply a DoT within the pandemic window?
If the bleeds are subterfuge empowered or bleeding out faster due to exsanguinate
@dusty jasper aren't you like lvl 45
Yes I’m preparing to boost you see 😉
also don't reapply dots if the target will die within the next few seconds and just envenom instead
What is subterfuge empowered. Just googled that and nothing came up
Subt is a talent. It pumps your garrote from stealth. 18 secs of bonus dmg.
So we let it fall off.
Midblock rotation could have a. vendetta vanish garrote.
Is there a wa to know which garrote is a special one and to let it go all the way?
Okay. I’m using Ipse one because I’m using his ElvUi profile and his WW wa worked fine
Mystler's logic block does that for exsang and subterfuge/NS
Darkmoondeck Fathoms, can it proc on aoe?
if im not allowed todo this i apologise and please delete my comment or inform me too
im struggling to figure out what to improve on to become a better rogue if anyone has any advice on stats or gear/talent builds please let me know
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3z3Gr8KFM9qDWsT8tmT19U
i personally don't like versatility on both rings. rings are a huge source of secondary stats, which in your case gets taken by the least valuable stat
374 should be in the 17k range.
he didn't sim with reorigination array on
Makes sense.
but yeah sim with other rings if you can, along with head/shoulders
And the SS pw tb is a bit weird.
those traits are pretty weak for single target
It's not unreasonable that tb > exang cause his haste / no gcb.
But array should be 1k
if you want more detailed advice you might need to share some logs
I'm like 16.6k at 367ilvl
is SS still bugged when multi dotting?
no
haste is my highest stat when i sim with the dungeon fight script. i thought mastery/crit is the go to stat when im going into mythic+?

thats not gonna help admire
^
@sand dirge remember that the idea of mastery crit is based on Fok spam and tabbing ruptures. Haste is still bis for Bosses. So the M+ sim has bosses and trash, and attempts to fit across both.
your choice is to follow or ignore or do a combo. Does your aoe go down a TON to bump your st a little? is ST your prio in the dungeon comp? or are you the guy that cleave 3-6 mobs the best? etc
of you do giga pulls of 8-12 you will wish you had high crit, cause haste is a very low stat there. and GCB helps cover the haste requirement for ST, while letting you drop it some for aoe.
Using the dungeon script for stat weights in m+ is a trap honestly. It's better to actually understand what makes your stats valuable and feelycrafting gear
Value item level, haste to an extent, sockets, and balance your stats that way
simming is overrated ;]
For m+ it sortof is
what yall think of the new fan of knives trait?
will it give us pretty much an instant +5 combo point on +5 target?
assuming the extra proc can also crit
stupid question slightly unrelated to sin, but, when M+ seasons shift, do old dungeons scale item level up as well?
like, will I have to farm Shrine unendingly again next season?
425 galecallers Poggers
13.3k for a 12 waycrest
If I could pick I would do 30/5/40 with gcb and dice/crit
hm okay i'm pretty close to that
would you always go for 3 shrouded suffocation traits even if they are low itemlvl (345)?
thats not ok dps right?
!opener
Overall 13,3k on a Waycrest+12? I mean, it's average i guess but completely depends on how much you pull
If you pull fairly big and sit at 20k+ on trash then your overall is gonna even out to 16-18k ish depending on how much you do on bosses
on the firstboss for UR I did 15k
any tips for mythic fetid as sin?
pray that you get asked to sit on the mutated mass
Look at the mythic guide?
also is there a list somewhere of the new traits?
and damage on adds > damage overall so if your raid is struggling to kill the mutated mass, save your vanish for the first one

But there hasnt been 2 traits per specc for some specs yet, so we'll have to see
do you guys envenom with 1-3 combo points if toxic blade is ending?
active or effective time to look at our damage for overall?

I haven't played TB since legion, but at the time it was worth it to 3 cp envenom if they was running off
Is simming accurate for exsanguinate? Every combo I do shows TB as significantly better but it seems like exsang is the go-to especially in m+
likely everyone running exsang has galecallers
Sim is constantly being updated. I doubt it's broken just for you
lol it doesnt have to be "broken" to not do a good job with something. it doesnt do a good job simming M+ and it isn't broken. thats just how it is
Yea and it's common knowledge that it doesn't work great in m+
But you're asking about a talent that's been simmed a billion times for raiding and asking if it is wrong
so the answer is yes. thanks
kinda took a round-about way to get there but we got there. thanks for the help
Exsang is used with SS traits. Which also means you're simming with sub and not MA. Also, you can sim 4-6t over 40s-1m for a decent idea of aoe. Or use the dungeon custom apl

Exsang also let's you burst prio targets better than tb, so that's good for m+
And we rarely use env in aoe. Let alone tb +3 env. It just doesn't work.
how much will i regret giving up and going outlaw
@sturdy python thanks for the additional info
How will you ever get those juicy 80k gauntlet pulls without ct in tos!?
Hi guys whats your opening Rotation for m+? Garotte garotte garotte -> ct or 4th garotte->ct?
And when do you Start Refreshing garotte? When first empowered g ist 6sec remaining to have more uptime? Or when the first one expires?
herodamage in the pins
3x ss still the way to Go?
depends on the pull type
but yeah SS is the goto
scent is solid too
but requires bigger pulls
Well thanks buddy
I know TB we are essentially using on CD; however in switching to exsang, what is the best method of implementing it into the rotation? Pop exsang off of CD regardless of rupture time left? Is it worth overwriting 10sec rupture for a max rupture THEN popping exsang? (thanks for the help in advance)
I'd say on a boss @fimbulvtr
In m+ it's just burn when available on trash pulls i'd imagine.
On boss, refresh rupture if <20sec remaining
Yeah i'm not sure about the garrote refresh treshold
i do garrote > 20 seconds and rupture > 25
for such a big cooldown, its not worth using on anything less than at least the 'min' default duration
but thats feelycraft
like if you look at the casts on the sim report
i dont think they ever refresh garrote before exsang
So you refresh garrote on 15 sec remaining for example? That's 100% a dps loss
i'd delay my exsang for a few more seconds if it's at 15 secs
i think delaying exsang for up to 4-5 seconds is okay
Yeah that's all feelycraft
and its also depending on the fight as well
so on the mutated masses
i'd garrote
and then garrote again after 6 seconds
so thats what.. 12 seconds left?
then exsang
just to get a max duration exsang out
but yeah it is all feelycraft
and all situational as well
and the dps gain/loss wouldnt be that much anyway
i mean the important thing is just keeping up the bleeds right?
Hello assassins
Any advice you can give for getting DPS numbers up?, I'm Simming 13,4k and using Hekili for dps rotation
and my dps on f.e target dummy is <10k
Actually, I was simming with default options
I'm 362 ilvl, and the dps is super low in my opinion for the gear
Default options include raid buffs/pots/flask/lust etc
Which unless you're practicing with all of those on, will give you a variation
But logs will be a definitive reason to see any performance issues
Could you point me to right direction to finding about logs and how to use them properly
what I associate with logs, is the "log" chat tab that shows whats happening
Have you progressed within any raids this tier?
As if you've not logged yourself, you'll be relying on someone else doing it
just a pug here or there
I haven't got a guild
tick that
2x SS is always better than 1?
Alright, i'll see if you've got any logs then
Well thats more accurate now
I’ve simmed and it’s suggesting I use dd instead
stacking SS isnt super great anymore
Ah
DD > SS
Interesting
Ss is amazing
How do you guys see 10k for 362ilvl? I think I did more as DH with 10 ilvl lower
Do you not have any uldir traits?
So taking your first log, you didnt vendetta in the opener
You're also not utilising Toxic Blade properly, where you should be pushing for envemoms. You're mainly getting 1, sometimes none within the window
@solid nova where do you see all of these ? 😄
You also could have used Vendetta 3 times in the fight and only used it twice

You can sim your stat weights
could also use that

@solid nova I got raidbots subscription and have simmed propably everything I can for the optimal gear 😄
you can sim for pvp?
@boreal saddle So select the fights, select yourself, timelines, casts
and you can see your cast sequence
@unkempt mica haste > mastery > vers for pvp
For example, your Mother opener. No vendetta and not sure why you crimson vialed.
probly because of damage I took
What damage is there in mother in the first few seconds
"oops" damage
And you have healers. Nothing in the opener should require CV use
Is that even possible
lmao
Fire on the ground happens 3-4 sec into the fight
No other dmg
Don't use vial unless you're in real danger of dying
Cheat death on cd and all that
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
Ok, thanks @solid nova I'll get to the guide and try and get the hang of the basics
I thought Hekili addon would keep my rotation optimal, maybe thats not the case here
try to not rely on an addon
Im personally not a fan of rotation addons.
Give the guide a good read as well as the other resources in the pins and see how you go
assi is also pretty straight forward
refresh dots
envenom at 4+ CP
actually using vendetta on the pull
So if I sim higher with 2x dd is it better than 2x ss in m+?
What are the settings I need to sim for m+

Feel as if I may be simming wrong then
Thank you sorry I didn’t realise there was a command
All good, commands get updated regularly
imo just run 3x ss
unless youre doing mythics like 15+
then its worth taking Scent
I found 1xSS was good enough for m+ for me, I use 1xss and 2x archive (all 385)
do you notice much of a difference on dps on trash?
because thats the main reason i run it
haha fair
im tempted to swap out my 345 ss for my 385 dagger in the back
i have a 370 archive but im not sure if thats worth
i just got a galecaller and i am not sure when to use it, before or after applying bleeds? do they snapshot haste when applied?
luckily theres a fancy shmancy answer to that in the pins
Only exsang snapshots
"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"
that doesn;t answer my question
Before Exsanguinate. Thats the only move that snapshots
thx
exsang is the only thing that snapshots on haste, everything else is dynamic to it
i am at work, so yes
bnet is down and cant log in into any gamez ayy
goes to --> #off-topic
anyone playing MA doing the vanish tb in the opener as apl suggests or are u guys doing the tb before vanish into env
@nimble tartan Both viable, we simmed the difference a while back and the difference was extremely minimal.
If i recall the difference was 33dps 🤷🏼
33 dps 
It adds up!
if you do vanish TB, you can't fit in a 2nd envenom into MA window...?
practically one envenom worth of dmg in 5min 🙃
yeah. crits 
still daddy

if you wipe on ghuun with 155k you gotta make every envenom count
TB crits are pretty hefty
if u need to minmax to that point, stack the gutripper traits man!
just kiddin spook, it does not matter in the slightest
please excuse my ignorance, but what is TTK
its was a target dummy so prolly not logged anywhere

well uptime is clearly gutted really hard
I'm just trying to figure out wtf 😃 but I got the guide, it'll prolly tell me what
me stalking
just one rule when doing rotation, keep garrote and rupture up 100%
stormscaale righ
I was paying extra attention to the uptime, and I'd say with 90% certainty that I had it up all the way. BUT I didn't utilize vanish properly
oh baby what is you doing
trying to L2P here 😄
spooky got it right just by looking
and after a quick overview of the logs you gotta pump those uptime numbers
refresh timers are in the guide and be a sticky cunt and stick to boss

and dont do that
My logs are based on just Hekili addon and what it told me to do
prolly best not to analyze that, I've since dropped hekili and working to just understand the class
you overwrote your empowered garrote with a unbuffed one
I dont get what an empowered garrote is
have ss?
yea, one trait
it buffes your garrote by X dmg and makes you get 3 cp
IF used from stealth
and if you overwrite it out of the subterfuge window youll get an unbuffed garrote dot on the boss
so in short, garrote from stealth == empowered garrote?
😄
na the dmg is insane
ye ye >.<
just made sure
dont punish me
so back to topic
tisumi is right, if talented into subterfuge your garrote does increased dmg if used from stealth, further ss buffs it even more
so GIGAgarrote
I just tried, a stealthed garrote did 49k damage alone, gonna test without stealth
22k
I see that now 😄
I see
it is helpful to read through your spellbook, talents and traits
see what they do
to avoid making silly mistakes
Good point 😃 Obviously I'm taking shortcuts where I can, which in many times turns out to be a detour instead 😄
Drink some coffee.
speaking of coffee, I need a cup soon
am I supposed to spam mutilate and envenom until I come to the point where garrote is running out and I need to vanish?
does the ilevel of a trinket matter too much?
I have a 345 dice is it worth spamming some higher keys looking for a higher level dice
Or will it just be an agility increase?
the effect also scales
Oh so it's definitely worth upgrading
Had a suspicion that it did but just wanted to confirm, thanks!
it's not obvious on trinkets like the dice since it just says "random combination of stats" without the actual value
but you can see the difference on trinkets with actual numbers

Where would my best place be to find someone that can code decent functions for WA? Looking to modify a clickable WA
I use clickable WA for flasks, potions, food, augment runes and poisons
but the poison wa I found does not allow applying crippling, only wound and deadly
what is the advantage over clicking the spell on your bars
They only show up when I need them
my bar space is limited
I only have 1 action bar visible, and thats def cds
why not show more bars
First time i here that
I want the UI as clean as possible, with only displaying what I actually need
Most of the action happens in the top 2/3 of the screen
but I'm not really here to argue whether clickable WA are good, but rather if someone can help me modiify one
Guys I got a question. Im 373 ilvl yet my dmg is pretty low. Im wondering if thats because of my ring or maybe traits? I basicly can change my chest to a uldir chest with the array trait on it and I got the plumage trinket. But I've seen rogues here prefer darkmoon trinkets over lets say a foothold trinket of ilvl 365 while bloodmallet shows that the darkmoon trinket is lower in DPS so I was wondering what I can do vastly improve my DPS because Im gonna raid mythic + soon and I wanna up my dmg . Thanks alot !
@strange python its because of your traits and trinkets and gear.
quick sim seems really low
Ye I know I c alot of rogues way higher
always wear 1 piece with array
but I c for example First mate's spyglass is really good as a use trinket
I can maybe change one of my rings for a mastery haste one ! And my weapons ofc upgrade, I got the chest orrgination array
but isnt fathom only ilvl 355?
you can use the top gear feature on raidbots
I c alot of people with fanthoms but it doesnt show up on bloodmallet as highest dps so makes me wonder
oh ok
im 380 equipped and still use fathoms over 380 socket electro, 370 corpuscle, 370 dice
says fanthoms is 977 dps
you arent reading the chart properly. that is why you should stick to top gear tool. Pay for the service
stop
do you see that line? fathoms is better than any trinket under 370 and better than some 400s.
and use herodamage, not bloodmallet
and use TopGear.
oh shit I c now, thanks
Maybe with 8.1 we can replace fathoms
wrong pictur
3.6 mio
get a summary like this
which basically tells me to pick the top 5 choices
I have 1 ss option. and 2 tb
for now.
You're my top 5 choice
you can split it up and just do a few azerite.
that doesnt look right at all
you know which ones are best anyway

I think for most people the min subscription is a decent number
non-sub is far too low
next tier will be even worse with azerite
You can always run them locally 😉
lolololol
profile sets, for 12 azerite nah
next tier will have traits all over the place at different ilvls. gotta be biggeest brain for that shit.
@strange python Imagine trying to troll in a spec channel. Gtfo.
Shiennar pls
sup gois
Sim talk like always
like always
anyone know what the bleeding option does in raidbots?
probably a multiplier for feral. idk
Hello guys, the other day I was asking about DPS pointers for an EXsang build with 2xSS, and everyone recommended i get GCB. I now have it but wonder when is the most optimal time to pop it, if always on CD or try to match it up with empowered garrote+rupture. Thanks!

why do pug tanks hate letting me restealth
because some people just want to watch teh world burn
and then will also go 'wtf why do you do so low damage, arent assi rogue ssupposed to be broken in m+?'
just remind them each restealth is like another 500k damage or something
Pugging m+ as assa/sub is a nightmare
why
Hi everyone I need your help, should I use the dead-eye spyglass or the loaded dice?
i like dice more than that spyglass limiting ur buff in MT
For avg keys yes
outlaw might be better atm, but assass is close neough to be viable
For 10-14* keys
the longer mob fights last the better you'll be, seeing as we got amazing sustained aoe
thats why we are amazing on fortified weeks ❤
ehhh depends
depends idd
I do like 14-16k overall with 380ilvl and 2xshrouded
But adds die too fast for me to set up
Yeah this weak if you're rolling with an arms warrior you may struggle
then thats clearly the problem, youll be better once adds start living longer
Non fort classes can outscale us in aoe pretty fast
Tyrannical I'd play PB with a bursty comp like that
i personally stick to poison bomb in any situation due to it having better single target implications
And exsang is a must?
any affix i should say
Yeah since you've got SS
Yes
@slim olive would you also suggest exsang with only one SS ? havent figured that out yet
I think 2 are must
Eh
3rd one for me is Archieve
1 is fine with exang
You wanna focus on getting your ruptures out rather than tunnelling with TB
GGG Rupture/ CT if tallented. Then tab rupture things.
hmm ill tinker around with it a bit
ive got it down pretty well atm, put ruptures on, spam envenom when ruptures are all above 5 sec and when they start dropping below refresh em
outdpsing most dps that are 10 ilvls above
hmm yeah
depends on how well you manage shit
rip demon hunters
1xss, 2xscent works great on big pulls
they rek me quite often haha
They are op
Yeah sent is another good option if you've not got ss
Yeah like if you've got a frost mage and a DH
there is no point in you going full aoe too
Plus non fort week's the adds will just die too fast
Sin is a very good hybrid between ST and AOE
thats exactly the combo i run with ahha xD frost mage DH and disc priest
damm
I'd just go aoe trinkets like dice or spyglass for the little bit of aoe gain. Little bit of haste to help with ST like 18% or something and then PB
with that comp
yeah thats similar to what ive been running
haste is just a bit lower tho
like ill said ill tinker around with it a bit, not got time for M+ this week anyways
uni stuff sadly
cheers mate
No problem
Handle the pulling for him! #Tricks
My tank loves that
Tanks love playing it safe, and that's boring af 😄
which site better herodmg or bloodmalet?
id say herodamage
herodamage does a better job of showing alternate talent options for certain traits if they are better
Exsang better for m+ with 1ss and no gcb?

Hello fellow rogues, I finally managed to get my hands on the Galecaller's Boon trinket, but is it possible to macro it with for example toxic blade? Or is that a bad idea
!pin
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
