#

even if u get first, plan where you want to go (front or back of the room)

#

and start moving asap (while still avoiding donuts)

#

then, when you are about 5 sec

static sky
#

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?

brave gyro
#

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

static sky
#

Ok, and on the first set of donuts, those aren’t random right?

brave gyro
#

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

static sky
#

When you first pull the boss, the pattern of the donuts

brave gyro
#

its different

#

its usually sequences

#

like random presets

static sky
#

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

brave gyro
#

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)

static sky
#

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?

tidal jetty
#

unless there is some wild ilvl disparity, yes you should 😃

dusty jasper
#

The bug the method guy talks about in the method assassination rogue guide (4th garrote used while having the shrouded trait) still exist?

tidal jetty
#

nope

spice surge
#

Nope @dusty jasper

crisp steppe
#

no

dusty jasper
#

I need one more person to say no

celest chasm
#

its both 370

dusty jasper
#

For it to be true

crisp steppe
#

"no" -winston churchill

dusty jasper
#

Wonderful. Thanks all.

celest chasm
#

Also ditch archive of titans for 2nd shroud?

crisp steppe
brave gyro
#

@dusty jasper Good news. No. The bug is fixed

tidal jetty
#

thats more finnicky, but you want atleast one archive or lazer inside Uldir

crisp steppe
#

make sure you select the right build. default is toxic blade, exsg= exsanguinate

final stone
#

4 boss 1min sim best way to sim what to use for m+ still

crisp steppe
#

for traits I just use the list from herodamage

#

rest is feelycraft

#

I have roughly equal haste/crit/mastery

tidal jetty
#

simming your own char is the best choice tho

spice surge
#

Why use feelycraft when there is highly advanced simulation tools to give you precise answers?

crisp steppe
#

precise answers for m+?

#

I just pick what stats I care about

final stone
#

I use ssx2 and I have a blightborne

crisp steppe
#

more AoE= crit & mastery

#

more st = haste

spice surge
#

Well if you use proper condition you get decent sims, but i thought you were still refering to the other guy about raids, mb

tidal jetty
#

^

dusty jasper
#

I am noticing with this spec / class you guys sim with a website not raidbots. Why is that?

crisp steppe
#

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

final stone
#

But one of my ss is 345 wonder if I use my 385 dd instead of 345 ss for m+

brave gyro
#

@dusty jasper Elaborate please

onyx rock
#

@dusty jasper Raidbots is the Website we using

crisp steppe
#

@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

dusty jasper
#

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.

final stone
#

@crisp steppeyeah I'm looking at it now. I think I'll run with my 385 and keep ss x 1

celest chasm
#

use raidbots to sim

final stone
#

It will play well with 14 and higher

crisp steppe
#

yeah its a lot of stamina too

celest chasm
#

but traits i use bloodmallet because herodmg feels too cluttered and not organized

crisp steppe
#

I havent looked at bloodmallet in a while but they didn't show the spec they are using for the sim

brave gyro
#

you can check per dungeon here

#

what people use

crisp steppe
#

and they didn't have option for toxicblade/exsanguinate

spice surge
#

Nor do bloodmallet have any variation with talents, so SS is listed as the worst trait

final stone
#

Also this week coming up is going to be slow so I'll def swap yo that 385 over my 345

spice surge
#

Because it runs tb/ma

crisp steppe
#

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

brave gyro
#

Anyone else crying where their 370 Dice sims 0.2% lower than Darkmoon card? 😄

crisp steppe
#

since you exsanguinate it and then vanish you spend most of the fight with empowered garrotes

brave gyro
#

I'm kinda sick of Darkmoon card trinket is what im getting at

spice surge
#

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

final stone
#

@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

brave gyro
#

shit, didn't thought of that. Tanks @spice surge 😄

crisp steppe
#

hope I get a nice blightborne sometime

#

can use for my other specs too then 😃 and its sick

final stone
#

I have a 375 helm that I use now it's pretty nice

brave gyro
#

I get BiS for enchanting almost every week 😎

final stone
#

385 ss

brave gyro
#

Those sweet crystals

tropic rover
#

At around 375 ilvl, what overall dps should we be in M+, around +10?

crisp steppe
#

we really can't tell

brave gyro
#

14-18k i guess. Depends on dungeon

#

its a decent average

crisp steppe
#

do you pull big etc

glad ferry
#

On a boss on a patchwerktyranical encounter I'd say around 16-20k

#

if your group is decent

brave gyro
#

He was asking overall @glad ferry 😛

glad ferry
#

overall I pull around 17k

#

I guess on shitty dungeons you should be around 14k

tropic rover
#

Yikes, I'm fucking something up then.

brave gyro
#

Yeap, that's why i said 14-18 is a good average 😄

tropic rover
#

Can I log m+ runs?

brave gyro
#

@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

spice surge
#

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

tropic rover
#

@brave gyro I gotcha, that makes sense.

brave gyro
#

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 😄

tidal jetty
#

seven-forty BiS

#

monkaS

tropic rover
#

I think my stats are pretty good, I only have one socket though.

brave gyro
#

@tidal jetty not last raid tier

#

it was like around NH / early tos

tidal jetty
#

740 was like mythic hfc tho

brave gyro
#

ah maybe 800+ already forgot what the ilvls were haha 😄

lusty surge
#

i dont see any information on tb vs exsang in the pins

#

is there somewhere i can go to read about it?

spice surge
#

You use what sims the highest

#

And exsang for dungeons (as you should be using shrouded traits which synergizes with exsang)

celest chasm
#

@brave gyro Not only ilvl, i think raider.io scores are even worse

brave gyro
#

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

celest chasm
#

dont have that luxury sadly 😦

#

then again, i kind of stopped playing WoW that much

primal gazelle
#

I think raiderio score are pretty reliable

#

It’s a resume for all the dungeons you’ve done

lusty surge
#

hard agree

noble ingot
#

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

primal gazelle
#

How would I can expect you to reliable run thru +15 with me if the highest you’ve done is a 10?

spice surge
#

The only problem i see with it is that it doesnt register low-level runs on highly populated servers

brave gyro
#

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

spice surge
#

But in general its good

lusty surge
#

cant argue that point eleem

#

thats the only real problem

brave gyro
#

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 🤷

lusty surge
#

although since i play on a low pop server

#

i get a little extra priority in pugs on mondays

languid olive
#

R.io for 13-15 and up, sure

lusty surge
#

which is nice for me 😛

languid olive
#

But 10 and below

#

Nah

lusty surge
noble ingot
#

meh r.io doesnt tell the whole story

languid olive
#

reliably running a 10 even IF you haven't done it before is such a smaller feat then a 15.

noble ingot
#

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

primal gazelle
#

Well today is the last day to push keys

#

The next 3 weeks is aids

languid olive
#

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.

noble ingot
#

i just dislike how much they slowed the game down with infested

#

such a boring affix

celest chasm
#

having a hard time getting in anything other then +4 because of my 318 score. I dont have time to run mythic plus fulltimes

lusty surge
#

infested isnt that bad

noble ingot
#

its just a slowing mechanic rhyme

#

theres no reason for it

lusty surge
#

as long as you have players that are proactively CCing and tank that knows how to pull around it

primal gazelle
#

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

noble ingot
#

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

onyx hazel
#

!azerite

prisma monolithBOT
primal gazelle
#

Because legion was just an aoe fest

noble ingot
#

fun fest*

languid olive
#

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?

primal gazelle
#

Nothing really to interrupt

spice surge
#

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

lusty surge
#

1 wipe can cook a key

primal gazelle
#

Now you actually have to pay attention to mechanics

lusty surge
#

depending on your speed

noble ingot
#

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

brave gyro
#

@noble ingot I don't feel any incentive to run higher M+ this expansion. AP is shit, items are too low ilvl. 🤷

noble ingot
#

^

#

100%

primal gazelle
#

That’s the point tho, it’s for fun

#

You don’t have to do it

#

It’s not required

brave gyro
#

But I also don't like it to feel like a waste of time

noble ingot
#

and my argument is that not only is it not worthwhile, but they slowed the game down drastically making it unfun

primal gazelle
#

More like a bonus objective

brave gyro
#

mats are expensive yo 😄

#

and consumables

languid olive
#

ikr

ionic charm
#

So run some 10 carries and make easy gold?

latent field
#

How important is it to keep track of elaborate planning?

noble ingot
#

meh

primal gazelle
#

@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

languid olive
#

Not on about raids @primal gazelle :p

#

M+

primal gazelle
#

oh

languid olive
#

Raids we don't wipe :p

spice surge
#

Extremely minor @latent field

primal gazelle
#

one wipe will most likely ruin a 15+ key

brave gyro
#

we wipe raids jnbSmart

languid olive
#

Yah, so for 15+ r.io is perfectly justified.

ionic charm
#

@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

languid olive
#

I just dislike the 10 runs that get over-achievers checking all scores. 10 is perfectly doable :p

primal gazelle
#

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

ionic charm
#

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

celest chasm
#

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

languid olive
#

Well I guess people playing more m+ might also be more prone to find the hassle then me.

brave gyro
#

maybe we should move the discussion to #wow-general before mods Backstab us

languid olive
#

Sure

celest chasm
#

(kick as in interrupt)

primal gazelle
#

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

languid olive
#

😦

primal gazelle
#

any +1500 player would volunteer to take the buff because they know its the only way

#

its stuff like that, that makes io useful

languid olive
#

Ya sure. Though I would expect anyone with a brain to listen to tips when given :p

#

But I see your point

celest chasm
#

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

primal gazelle
#

it sure doesnt

#

but low io scores guarantee that players definitely dont have a brain 😛

celest chasm
#

or that ppl dont run mythic plus dungeons that much

rigid sonnet
#

where can I read up on how exsanguinate works and how haste effects it?

primal gazelle
#

aka dont have a brain in M+

spice surge
#

@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)

rigid sonnet
#

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

arctic ravine
#

is it possible to evis cheese shrine boss with the adds in last phase as long as tank kites?

rigid sonnet
#

even tho it will make me lose out on a full normal exsanguinate before cdäs are back up

spice surge
#

Its mentioned in the pins

#

But no its not @rigid sonnet

arctic ravine
#

Sorry, went Sub last night for Zul, have evis on the brain, this is assassination channel sorry, lol

spice surge
#

But yes @arctic ravine

arctic ravine
#

tyty

rigid sonnet
#

ait, checks out. tyvm for answers

celest chasm
#

@primal gazelle I can agree to that to a certain level. I atleast feel like an exception to that rule though 😃

lone junco
#

First part of io score is doing all the zones. Right?

#

We seem to do the same zones over and over.

latent field
#

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)?

karmic ingot
#

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.

dense quest
#

@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

karmic ingot
#

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.

latent locust
#

i assume with sharpened blades trait u put that spell into rotation at max stacks ?

tropic rover
#

When dealing with trash in M+, you don

#

don't need to 4-5CP Rupture all the mobs do you?

primal gazelle
#

depends on long you expect them to live

latent locust
#

maybe i should just take thunderous blast instead 😄

primal gazelle
#

would you guys queue for this dungeon with this dudes io score? 😛

tropic pike
#

yes?

primal gazelle
#

he wants to do a 15 ML and his highest done is a 9...

#

esp as a tank, instant deplete key imo

ionic charm
#

@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)

latent locust
#

@ionic charm is there a useful WA for this trait ?

#

found it 😃

worldly ledge
#

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?

ionic charm
#

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.

worldly ledge
#

@ionic charm thank you!

tropic rover
#

wait so i m a noob playing m+ without CT? 😄

#

running without CT in most dungeons GWvertiPeepoChrist

#

it was pretty awful when i accidentally had PB talent on instead of CT for FH, lost quite a lot of dmg on overall

hollow cloud
#

who cares about overall damage when u can just kill stuff

drifting elbow
#

but u kill better with CT GWseremePeepoLife

brave gyro
#

Who cares about talents when you don't get invited

drifting elbow
karmic ingot
#

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.

snow ridge
#

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

strange python

Gear Compare

#

and CT is way better than PB if you're doing bigger pulls

midnight reef
#

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!

karmic ingot
#

“If”

midnight reef
#

Huh?

strange python
#

yeah if

#

Overall its better

midnight reef
#

What is?

strange python
#

Unless its KR or ToS

#

CT over PB

midnight reef
#

Ive no idea what yall are talking about

#

i just want an easy simple talent and honor talent build for lvling from 110-120

karmic ingot
#

That’s why discord lets you scroll up for context.

solid nova
#

He's answering a previous question.

midnight reef
#

I prefer assassin over the other 2 spec

#

specs

strange python
#

what

karmic ingot
#

For leveling, I wouldn’t recommend assassination, but if you’re gonna do it anyway, the standard max level builds are fine.

tidal jetty
#

if you have access to legion legendaries, sub with shoulders is a beast for leveling

karmic ingot
#

For PvP talents, take stuff that is a passive damage increase.

midnight reef
#

So i shouldnt lvl as assassin?

karmic ingot
#

Sub with shoulders is like 2-3 GCDs per kill. It’s insane.

spice surge
#

You can do whatever you want

karmic ingot
#

Oh, take marked for death too for whichever spec you choose.

midnight reef
#

Ill give yall my talent build right now

spice surge
#

Who cares if it takes 2 seconds longer per mob, what matters is how much you enjoy it

drifting elbow
#

i destroyed with FoK with leggos when assassin leveling

#

thats a lot of time

ebon garden

Were you running hidden blades or something @drifting elbow?

#

System shock deadly brew smoke bomb

keen spruce
#

I like the uptick in frog usage on this discord

midnight reef
#

but im completely unsure if any of those talents are right

#

havent played my rogue in a bit

drifting elbow
#

yeah, i just stacked FoK talents

karmic ingot
#

Don’t bother with elusiveness. Just pick up leeching poison.

#

Nice. I could totally see that being pretty OP.

midnight reef
#

Ok so leeching poison

#

anything else i should change?

keen spruce
#

leeching poison in what?

strange python
#

levelling

karmic ingot
#

Shoulders, cloak, night stalker, hidden blade, PvP thing, Azerite traits. Lots of stuff you can stack to make FoK OP before 116.

keen spruce
#

oh yeah

#

leeching is a must have levelling

#

very nice

midnight reef
#

I have shoulders thats it

drifting elbow
#

thats fine

#

still a boost

midnight reef
#

Cant afford any other right now sadly

drifting elbow
#

u r just missing dmg factor

#

np

tropic rover
#

any reccomendations for a unit frame addon?

midnight reef
#

Ok maybe ill lvl as outlaw

#

D:

#

lol

#

Assassin so much to keep up with

#

especially with so many adds on you

ebon garden
#

are blizzard removing any rogue traits like they are removing traits from other classes?

#

azerite traits i mean

spice surge
#

What class are getting traits removed? Fairly certain none are, they're just getting changed

ebon garden
#

warlock and dh are getting some traits removed apparently

#

its not getting put on notes

shell zealot
#

Oopss

obtuse ruin
#

is shroud actually getting a buff? Pog

strange python
#

not by a lot

obtuse ruin
#

yeah but its already our bis so

strange python
#

only for m+

#

And some traits are better

#

Depending on playstyle of ur group

obtuse ruin
#

yee mainly m+

spice surge
#

Its not getting buffed, its just the tooltip getting updated

obtuse ruin
#

oh makes sense

spice surge
#

Do you really think they would buff SS by like 50% after nerfing it?

obtuse ruin
#

honestly I dont expect anything from blizzard anymore

strange python
#

They're making it scale better with versa

#

Are they not

obtuse ruin
#

the new Nothing Personal trait looks good for pvp

strange python
#

Yeah its going to scale with versatility

gloomy ginkgo
#

is the shrouded mantle defensive trait any good? or should I go for resounding protection? I primarily do M+

spice surge
#

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

opaque grotto
#

Is nothing personal that trait that makes vendetta put a dot on your target?

#

Ez legion copy + paste

spice surge
#

It also gives energy

#

😄

ionic charm
#

I’m not sure why blizzard thought “from the shadows” was the legion ability we wanted

summer aurora
#

is the SS changes a buff to its dmg ? since it base is the same but with new maths to add vers aswell ?

pliant nest
#

i dont think its a change at all, just tooltip clarification

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

spice surge
#

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..

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

opaque grotto
#

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

olive peak
#

and see the cast sequence?

opaque grotto
#

It’s the same as the opener in the guide

#

Twist the knife doesn’t change anything, just makes your envenom hit harder

olive peak
#

can you even see the cast sequence if using the free version of raidbots?

opaque grotto
#

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

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?

opaque grotto
#

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

solid nova
#

You don't need to use slurs to explain points.

Twice.

lone junco
#

@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?

You?

#

Idk. I'm new here.

dusty jasper
#

So you should always use CP spenders on 5 to get max value? (Outside of opener)

lone junco
#

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

dusty jasper
#

Gotcha. So if generators are on cooldwown and you have 4 CP you should spend those CP and move on?

opaque grotto
#

You can press literally any button except for mut at 4 CP

lone junco
#

Yes.

dusty jasper
#

Oh that’s an easy concept

lone junco
#

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)

dusty jasper
#

I’m learning I’m learning.

#

What situations would you not want to reapply a DoT within the pandemic window?

latent field
#

If the bleeds are subterfuge empowered or bleeding out faster due to exsanguinate

lone junco
#

@dusty jasper aren't you like lvl 45

dusty jasper
#

Yes I’m preparing to boost you see 😉

fluid drift
#

also don't reapply dots if the target will die within the next few seconds and just envenom instead

dusty jasper
#

What is subterfuge empowered. Just googled that and nothing came up

lone junco
#

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.

dusty jasper
#

Is there a wa to know which garrote is a special one and to let it go all the way?

lone junco
#

Mizerok wa kit had "emp"

#

Yellow text over the garrote icon so you know.

dusty jasper
#

Okay. I’m using Ipse one because I’m using his ElvUi profile and his WW wa worked fine

lost horizon
#

Mystler's logic block does that for exsang and subterfuge/NS

topaz notch
#

Darkmoondeck Fathoms, can it proc on aoe?

wispy plaza
normal spear
#

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

lone junco
#

374 should be in the 17k range.

fluid drift
#

he didn't sim with reorigination array on

lone junco
#

Makes sense.

fluid drift
#

but yeah sim with other rings if you can, along with head/shoulders

lone junco
#

And the SS pw tb is a bit weird.

fluid drift
#

those traits are pretty weak for single target

lone junco
#

It's not unreasonable that tb > exang cause his haste / no gcb.

#

But array should be 1k

fluid drift
#

if you want more detailed advice you might need to share some logs

lone junco
#

I'm like 16.6k at 367ilvl

lone junco
#

@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.

ruby idol
#

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

earnest pumice
#

simming is overrated ;]

spice surge
#

For m+ it sortof is

primal gazelle
#

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

spice surge
#

The new ones doesnt give cp

#

Its just damage

primal gazelle
#

sigh

#

wishful thinking i guess

spice surge
#

Although its damage seems to be very overtuned

#

From what ive heard

last crown
#

stupid question slightly unrelated to sin, but, when M+ seasons shift, do old dungeons scale item level up as well?

thanks @lone junco for your answer

what stat template are you guys playing in m+?

marsh bloom

13.3k for a 12 waycrest

lone junco
#

If I could pick I would do 30/5/40 with gcb and dice/crit

sand dirge

hm okay i'm pretty close to that

#

would you always go for 3 shrouded suffocation traits even if they are low itemlvl (345)?

marsh bloom
#

thats not ok dps right?

tired garnet
#

!opener

quasi ledge
#

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

marsh bloom

on the firstboss for UR I did 15k

any tips for mythic fetid as sin?

also is there a list somewhere of the new traits?

I haven't played TB since legion, but at the time it was worth it to 3 cp envenom if they was running off

tawny sable
#

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+

supple hearth
#

likely everyone running exsang has galecallers

tawny sable

so do i

still doesnt come close on the sim

Sim is constantly being updated. I doubt it's broken just for you

tawny sable

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

languid ore
#

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

tawny sable
#

so the answer is yes. thanks

#

kinda took a round-about way to get there but we got there. thanks for the help

sturdy python
#

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

prisma monolithBOT

Exsang also let's you burst prio targets better than tb, so that's good for m+

Well thanks buddy

coarse carbon
#

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)

cunning needle
#

are you talking about on a boss

#

or in m+

coarse carbon
#

I'd say on a boss @fimbulvtr

#

In m+ it's just burn when available on trash pulls i'd imagine.

vast forum
#

On boss, refresh rupture if <20sec remaining

cunning needle
#

mhmm

#

i always refresh garrote and rupture

#

before i exsang

vast forum
#

Yeah i'm not sure about the garrote refresh treshold

cunning needle
#

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

vast forum
#

So you refresh garrote on 15 sec remaining for example? That's 100% a dps loss

cunning needle
#

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

vast forum
#

Yeah that's all feelycraft

cunning needle
#

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

solid nova
#

Got any logs?

#
  • are you simming without buffs?
#

If you're comparing to dummy

boreal saddle
#

Actually, I was simming with default options

#

I'm 362 ilvl, and the dps is super low in my opinion for the gear

solid nova
#

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

boreal saddle
#

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?

Before

And it doesn't snaoshot

luckily theres a fancy shmancy answer to that in the pins

round harbor
#

Only exsang snapshots

safe matrix
#

"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

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

doesnt matter if u used vanish or not

#

garrote shouldnt be that low anyway

winter moss
#

oh baby what is you doing

boreal saddle
#

trying to L2P here 😄

winter moss
#

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

boreal saddle
#

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

winter moss
#

you overwrote your empowered garrote with a unbuffed one

boreal saddle
#

I dont get what an empowered garrote is

winter moss
#

have ss?

boreal saddle
#

yea, one trait

winter moss
#

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

boreal saddle
#

so in short, garrote from stealth == empowered garrote?

winter moss
#

yes

#

GIGAgarrote if you want to

boreal saddle
#

😄

winter moss
#

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

boreal saddle
#

I just tried, a stealthed garrote did 49k damage alone, gonna test without stealth

does the ilevel of a trinket matter too much?

it's not obvious on trinkets like the dice since it just says "random combination of stats" without the actual value

yeah, looking at the herodamage site now

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
sinful flint
#

Where would my best place be to find someone that can code decent functions for WA? Looking to modify a clickable WA

shrewd night
#

Clickable WA

#

Thats the first I hear of that

sinful flint
#

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

patent topaz
#

what is the advantage over clicking the spell on your bars

sinful flint
#

They only show up when I need them

#

my bar space is limited

#

I only have 1 action bar visible, and thats def cds

patent topaz
#

why not show more bars

dark crag
#

First time i here that

sinful flint
#

I want the UI as clean as possible, with only displaying what I actually need

dark crag
#

Most of the action happens in the top 2/3 of the screen

sinful flint
#

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 !

lone junco
#

@strange python its because of your traits and trinkets and gear.

patent topaz
#

quick sim seems really low

strange python
#

Ye I know I c alot of rogues way higher

patent topaz
#

always wear 1 piece with array

strange python
#

but I c for example First mate's spyglass is really good as a use trinket

lone junco
#

missing archive, missing fathoms.

#

i am 369 and sim at 16.6k

#

ilvl isnt king.

strange python
#

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?

patent topaz
#

you can use the top gear feature on raidbots

strange python
#

I c alot of people with fanthoms but it doesnt show up on bloodmallet as highest dps so makes me wonder

lone junco
#

use the Raidbots top gear.

#

it does.

strange python
#

oh ok

patent topaz
#

im 380 equipped and still use fathoms over 380 socket electro, 370 corpuscle, 370 dice

lone junco
strange python
#

says fanthoms is 977 dps

lone junco
#

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.

strange python
#

oh shit I c now, thanks

dark crag
#

Maybe with 8.1 we can replace fathoms

boreal saddle
#

wrong pictur

lone junco
#

top gear. You pick some traits like this. Only Single Target.

boreal saddle
lone junco
#

then talents like this

dark crag
#

3.6 mio

lone junco
#

get a summary like this

#

which basically tells me to pick the top 5 choices

#

I have 1 ss option. and 2 tb

sinful flint
#

@lone junco damn you pay the maximum sub I guess

#

12 mil

lone junco
#

for now.

strange python
#

You're my top 5 choice

lone junco
#

you can split it up and just do a few azerite.

drifting elbow
#

that doesnt look right at all

lone junco
#

you know which ones are best anyway

drifting elbow
sinful flint
#

I think for most people the min subscription is a decent number

#

non-sub is far too low

lone junco
#

next tier will be even worse with azerite

cunning pebble
#

You can always run them locally 😉

lone junco
#

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.

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!

rare garden
#

why do pug tanks hate letting me restealth

cunning needle
#

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

vast forum
#

Pugging m+ as assa/sub is a nightmare

boreal saddle
#

why

tidal stirrup
#

Hi everyone I need your help, should I use the dead-eye spyglass or the loaded dice?

rare garden
#

which sims higher

#

use that one

tidal stirrup
#

its about 15 dps ^^

#

dice is 15 higher

vast forum
#

I'd say dice all the way then

#

Better for aoe, same on st

drifting elbow
#

i like dice more than that spyglass limiting ur buff in MT

winter gale
#

Is assa best spec for m+?

#

Atm

slim olive
#

For avg keys yes

visual wren
#

outlaw might be better atm, but assass is close neough to be viable

winter gale
#

For 10-14* keys

visual wren
#

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 ❤

winter gale
#

I spoke to a friend last night

#

He plays arms warr

#

He said I shoud outdps him

slim olive
#

ehhh depends

visual wren
#

depends idd

slim olive
#

hes gonna do faster burst on big add packs

#

for sure

winter gale
#

I do like 14-16k overall with 380ilvl and 2xshrouded

#

But adds die too fast for me to set up

slim olive
#

Yeah this weak if you're rolling with an arms warrior you may struggle

visual wren
#

then thats clearly the problem, youll be better once adds start living longer

winter gale
#

I also force CT

#

Instead of maybe playing poison bomb

slim olive
#

Non fort classes can outscale us in aoe pretty fast

#

Tyrannical I'd play PB with a bursty comp like that

visual wren
#

i personally stick to poison bomb in any situation due to it having better single target implications

winter gale
#

And exsang is a must?

visual wren
#

any affix i should say

slim olive
#

Yeah since you've got SS

winter gale
#

Yes

visual wren
#

@slim olive would you also suggest exsang with only one SS ? havent figured that out yet

winter gale
#

I think 2 are must

slim olive
#

Eh

winter gale
#

3rd one for me is Archieve

floral frost
#

i run with 1 ss(that's what i got) and PB sims better

#

much better

slim olive
#

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.

visual wren
#

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

slim olive
#

Yeah you should be

#

but if the packs are massive you may get outscaled

visual wren
#

hmm yeah

slim olive
#

depends on how well you manage shit

visual wren
#

rip demon hunters

floral frost
#

1xss, 2xscent works great on big pulls

visual wren
#

they rek me quite often haha

winter gale
#

They are op

slim olive
#

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

visual wren
#

thats exactly the combo i run with ahha xD frost mage DH and disc priest

slim olive
#

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

visual wren
#

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

slim olive
#

No problem

floral frost
#

this weeks affixes are what we need to pull big numbers

#

if the tank can handle it

cunning pebble
#

Handle the pulling for him! #Tricks
My tank loves that

floral frost
#

i meant handle the damage on big pulls

#

teeming+fort

cunning pebble
#

Tanks love playing it safe, and that's boring af 😄

fierce plank
#

which site better herodmg or bloodmalet?

winter moss
#

id say herodamage

shy escarp
#

herodamage does a better job of showing alternate talent options for certain traits if they are better

static tapir
#

Exsang better for m+ with 1ss and no gcb?

winter moss

acoustic latch
#

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

winter moss
#

!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

spice surge
#

@acoustic latch That is a bad idea as it would be delayed quite often, if you want to macro it to anything it should prob be mutilate

#

But its better to have a keybind for trinkets in general
