How important is a aoe and a single target gear set for assa in m+ ?
If you're planning to switch during the M+ it's not that important considering it's impossible without zoning out
i mean more for different weeks and affixes
I usually just run AoE for everything, even on tyrannical trash is most of the time spent in the dungeon
overwhelming power or gutripper ?
should i am for shrouded suffucation?
Any tips on how to play sin rogue on Zek'Voz mythic?
do you really need to play sin on zekvoz? outlaw is better I think
i have no weapons for outlaw
it's either sin rogue or learning subtlety from scratch
just run poison bomb and save vanish for the caster dude spawns the cd lines up well with it
is saving vanish just for prog or does it actually parse better?
it parses waaaaay better if you can spread empowered garrote on multiple targets
im at 96% with vanish on pull
For mythic zek after the first voidweaver dies is it best to just stick on zek + fok the little guys or is it efficient to put ruptures on as many little guys as possible and pray for poison bombs?
ive mostly been blaming my rank on bad orb prio
i put rupture on as many small adds as possible when they spawn
thats mostly for padding though
stick to voidweaver and maintain dots on boss if you're still on prog
@fervent hearth you only need one mainhand, the offhand doesnt matter so you can easily go get the one from freehold
guys can i ask something from an addon here?
details doesnt record the profiles i make
for example
i make it looks pink and in a corner
do /reload
it goes back to the middle of the screen
and how it was
i uninstalled and installed
and its the same
Did you lock the window?
i dont know if details needs any validation before exiting the config
i dont think so?
im not at home, but ill check in 30min
tyvm
sometimes there is a little okay button somewhere
fell over that many times
but hol on im actually on my way home from work
So, how exactly do I play the opener on Vectis? Do I just apply Rupture and Garrote on the first add and then keep focusing the boss until Vendetta is over?
@glacial steppe do regular pull, vanish and rup on add
but stay on boss
so emp garr on boss and first add
i dont play exsang or subterfuge
@glacial steppe if your group can handle it, yes just bleed the add and keep hitting boss ONLY if you currently have vendetta on the boss
@glacial steppe do you run ss?
And then use toxic blade on the add from then on, it lines up pretty well
He doesn’t play exsang or subt so I assume he doesnt
nah, i dont have any good SS pieces
subt is objectively better on vectis though
my best ss piece is 370 which is also my slot for array so
and i only have 1 uldir azerite item
id still run subt, even without ss
whats my opener then? garrote > mut > rup > tb > vendetta > env?
I think you vendetta before tb then mut to 4+ > env
and then vanish for adds?
personally I would say you use tb only when you have 4+cp
anyone know how subterfuge sims more than MA for me
So you will be able to do more envenoms during the tb uptime
@marsh bloom traits? subterfuge sims more for me aswell
Double dose Archive and Meticulous Scheming
hmmmmmm

It’s probably the gems then
Yea I use 385 taloc trinket and doom’s wake
Haste is like WAY up there for my stat prio though
Could be something as simple as stat distro too, change gems around and see. Out of curiousity I'd sim the other trait on your help just to see
oh wow u needed 390 trinket to overpower 355 trinket
i wish the motherlode trinket would proc more often
@ornate mantle tried it myself now, no validation needed, probably the settings arent stored in the wtf folder properly
k thanks will see
Save CD's till last room on mother?
and haste is barely above mastery
@opaque grotto
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qPnKFch8YEJFJajce2gAjQ yay, haste isnt better than agi anymore, for me atleast xd
Yea but maybe mastery has more of a positive interaction with subt than haste does? Idk I’m just guessing

It does, but its more likely that its subterfuge that interracts more positively with haste
Which is also why exsang favors haste more aswell
But in the end, the differences are really tiny and doesnt really matter in most cases.
Yeah there’s not much of a difference, he just wanted to know why subt sims better than MA
He could be lacking crit though
27.50% crit
It's more likely more critical devalues MA
inflated since it presumes you get the backstab effect 100% of the time
so if you had to choose between SS chest with heed or ditb with OP would you still choose ditb?
CT on Zek?
@marsh bloom with dd and tb. My subterfuge and ma are like 3dps apart.
At that point it depends on adds for double garrote. Or preference.
which do you guys think is better, 355 scent of blood or 370 glory in battle for M+?
I would say Scent for higher keystone with fortified affix
Also prolly depends how many mobs you pull
the tank i usually run with pulls 2-3 packs at at time
@lone junco should we clip EP every time?
I usually go with 2x Shrouded + scent of blood, would've gone with 3x Shrouded if I had a decent helm with it @strange python if you apply 6+7 mobs with your rupture that's about 700+ main stat, quite good imho
Thank you mate
Still use TB on opener for Vectis?
Why dont u check logs
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mE8LtSAr1wYykf8giVaSWn the never ending grind for mastery 🤔
I only DoT the add for a bit of extra damage and then the boost of energy you get when it dies. The add just melts at this point so there's no real reason to properly swap to it (didn't do much during progression either).
If add damage is constantly a problem, then yeah i'd hold TB for it
my group is having a hard time killing it in time

archieve or ss in uldir hc? i can only pick one with current gear
you'll always want 1 uldir trait, reorigination array with worth a ton of DPS
presuming you actually have buff stacks
if you had the energy to use envenom, should you use it immediately or wait for elaborate planning to run out, assuming youre NOT energy capping anytime soon
and looking at logs doesn't help me when the adds aren't dying
if ur group has a problem killing vectis add then u suck
Cause that helps
LOL
Does the add spawn every 25 seconds?
so I can save TB for the first tb and it will line up everytime after that?
yes
first add usually pops very quickly because everyone has 2min CDs up for that one
so you can pop vendetta+TB on pull on boss, and then keep TB for 2nd/3rd/4th add
anyone using mfd in m+?
I wouldn’t choose DitB for anything unless there is a massive ilvl difference.
whats ditb
dagger in the butthole
I’m sure there are builds where you could make decent use of MFD in M+, but with the typical SS builds, it wouldn’t be very useful. You’re already wasting CPs on purpose to get more garrotes out early in the fight. You also don’t have enough energy for triple Garrote without vigor, which would make MFD a huge DPS loss in most situations.
yea ok ty for that @karmic ingot
i just saw in hero dmg for m+
they have mfd and sub for talents
so i was just wondering xD
I think MFD could work if you have >30% haste so you could still get 3 garrotes inside the subterfuge window, but then you’re running suboptimal secondary stats to make a suboptimal talent work.
Just picked up 385 Gorak Tul's Mantle and its sims much higher than Usurper's Bloodcaked Spaulders 375 running archive. Why does that seem wrong?
For temple this week are you guys running bomb or tempest?
This week is going to blow, lol
Oh you can see the next weeks affixes? Where?
angry keystones addon
Nice, thanks!
This may sound like a silly question but does crippling poison apply to M+ mobs/elites
Yea,it's great except for certain affixes like sanguin
Sweet
even on sanguine it's not awful since your tanks might need to kite depending on key/other affixes
I'm about to do a temple key and I was wondering if it'd help the tank kite when we get to the orb running room
oh it's another explosive week. I think that means I'm going outlaw
I usually run M+ with a ret paladin and UH DK. not exactly the optimal specs for killing orbs
3melee dps is not optimal for pretty much everything lol
this is true. but my guild's ranged DPS doesn't log on for anything but raids
slack ass mages
Blade flurry doesn't kill the explosives right? You mean just for pistol shot to kill them?
target explosives with blade flurry on to cleave onto everything else
Explosive and infested, sooo much fun /s
yeah and teeming for more explosives 😫
Might just grab the 10+ for the week and be done with it
Assassination can handle explosives just fine.
i dont miss high keys at the end of legion where a full cp envenom was no longer enough to kill explosives
as long as we're not living htat particular hell i'm comfortable playing assassination on explosive week
Does Crimson Tempest for Mythic Vel'koz make sense?
A lot of people run PB but if your group REALLY needs the add dmg you can take it
Or just play outlaw lul
I play outlaw on zek
Does your guild ST dmg suck or something?
Or are they just sheep that think assa is by far the best on every boss
Anyone that wants to push this week after the Golden week last week going to have a pretty rude awakening.
imo this week isn't as bad as people are making it out to be
a lot harder than last week but
honestly fuck grievous
id rather have explosive
i replaced SS with archives but idk if its just me, doesnt seem better
Anyone else playing sub this week for explosive orbs? Or did you guys stick to sin?
Why sub?
Probably because big eviscerates on orbs
but I think sin is just as good with energy regen from ruptures + mut
SS + evis will basically one shot orbs
And because of symbols + SD talent you’re never energy starved when one spawns. Sin is fine too sub just feels better I think
So will mut and envenom
IDK, that's a lot of wasted dps on an orb imo
Outlaw kills them quick with almost no dps lost tho
Yeah sub is good at orbs but sub doesn't have the luxury of spending resources on them
get a survival hunter in your group because wildfire bomb hits then when they aren't the main target
It does?
I guess but if you can kill them quickly it frees up the group to continue AoEing
Definitely not supposed to, weird
Will drag survival hunters along this week then

Yeah but then you’re not playing sin / sub :p
Is bursting blood better ST than agi pots?
Sim it
Sub is just residentsleeper
Its not @static sky
Aweeeeeee
Do you ever CT in single target fights?
5 weeks without any class tuning? That's strange as hell
quiet down or they'll nerf us again
Sorry if this has already been asked but, does anyone know if Reorigination Array stacks past 10?
how many cp is it ok to envenom at?
10 is max @light kestrel
envenom at 4+ cp @tawny iris
5+ with deeper strat but i dont think anyone plays that atm
Hi quick question, is SS simming correctly in raidbots?
ty
@tawdry breach why wouldnt it?
I can't remember when, but it was broken at one point
Long time ago that was stated
I have heard it doesn't handle vanish right, and if true definitely not shadowmeld
Shadowmeld doesn't work in raids
it actually does for SS
Shadowmeld doesn't work in raids
you repeating yourself 😃
shrouded suffocation does trigger
not subterfuge
it's actually quite easy to test if you don't believe me, just shadowmeld and garotte a dummy target, you get 3 CPs and increased damage from shrouded suffocation
well then, irrelevant if you're not night elf 😃
and that triggers SS?
Yes.
Without restealthing?
WOOOOOOOOOOH
shadowmeld on bosses doesn't drop you out of combat so you cannot stealth, but if you garotte from shadowmeld it does get impacted by SS
dumbest shit and completely unfair towards other races
"Stealth"
if you garrote out of shadowmeld
So you can basically pandemic the garrote from vanish

Oh then apply it after it drops
yeah I let sub/ss garottes drop, use the shadowmeld after a normal garrotte hits 5-6 seconds
so I get a SS garotte at max length, I think that's right
Seems fine.
king's rest this week, worth doing CT?
I'd go PB
Especially if you're having to use envenom to kill orbs
Not a lot of CPs to go around for CT usage if you're an orb killing mokey
monkey*
at this point is it better to get the +10 reorgination array for Mastery or Haste
I've got a dumb question, if I vanish garrote an enemy, that already has the garrote bleed on him, does the whole bleed turn into the subterfuge op bleed?
Yes
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2ygPgrPrsNkrzYSYA7z9pq 18k but i give up SS 😦
not sure why i cant fight it, but is there a link to all of luxthos' WA's in one link?
hate spending all this time trying to get them to line up from each individual import
@vocal harbor flipped a few things around myself and got my ss up to a -3 dps loss. Ill take that.
that's my goal atm @lone junco
1 arch, 1ss, 1 blood rite
i was playing 1 arch, 1 DD, 1 SS
mostly due to ilvl on my 2nd ss
i think my rogues luck is broken
but weekly chest just gave me this 385 dagger chest
Jeez
my dd, sharp kife is actually my highest, but im not playing knife.
That's nasty
its my alt and it gets better gear than my main
You know what to do
my main concern is that i only have practice with the SS rotation
without SS i'd probably spec into master assassin or something
ive tried DD tb a few times, and it comes up a bit limp for me. idk.
Hi. Does poison ticks proc Heed my call trait?
Elab Planning affects garrote and rupture, yes?
how do you guys feel about 2 on use trinkets? I've been running boon and plumage with plumage on vendetta and boons with exsang but it misses the first exsang because vendetta puts boons on a 15? sec cd.
for m+
should i swap one of them to a proc?
usually its boon with dice or sometimes the seige trinket or just a darkmoon one
Deadly brew got removed on ptr?
Yes, kelustu
i only have dooms, frentic corp or fathoms as options
Just keep bleeds rolling how the guide says. There's no snapshotting, it's all dynamic
ah got it, yeah i meant for snapshot
lots changed since i played last then...have been fucking up my opener with garrote>rupture>garrote>rupture for that shit LMFAO

Quick question, is the trinket from ML combined with dooms wake a sick combo for assass? Since both have static mastery and give a fuck tonne of agi on proc/use?
@last crown there's 3 things that snapshot in the rogue kit
garrote from stealth with subterfuge/SS modifiers
Bleeds from stealth with the NS modifier
exsang snapshots based on the haste when it was cast
with subterfuge and no SS then, my opener should be garrote>garrote for Subter?
the openers are in the guide
No, you play ma with tb
@last crown when in doubt, just run your quick sim, and read the apl sample sequence.
but yeah you typically want to pandemic garrotes from stealth so you have the buffed one longer
i had subterfuge = = ma. so it was pref i guess.
weird ss without GCB
I guess, it is easier to just use dice. cant mess up the gcb
Fathoms is almost unbeatable
maybe my haste is just high enough gc isnt that important.
Your dice has the agi gem
it was over haste at the time
I sim'd a 351 demon hunter in my guild and then sim'd my 366 rogue on the same exact fight
-6 minutes
-no buffs
-1 boss
-light movement
351 DH: 9,914 DPS
366 Rogue: 9,731 DPS
Other sim settings seem to show more or less the same pattern

what is light movement anyway?
So many factors. Unless you link sims, it's all feelycraft
No, I assumed the site runs sims the same way

oof, I didnt expect the spammy thumbnails
im 16.5 at 368 ish. so, there is something wrong with your sin rogue
raid buffs are off.
They dont either
Offhand not enchanted
and the traits are pretty bad. looks like ilvl over dps.
😬
fuck, I keep forgetting to enchant my weapons
Sat on 345 weapons for a month or two, lol
welp
honestly I didnt believe that you could come out sub 10k at 366. but here you are
I use a 355 socket offhand, because it is >> 370
1 sharpened blade is basically not even a trait
I haven't gotten a very good azerite trait since like a 335 chest I had with SS
and it is weekly.
Sharpened blade isnt bad
355 with ss is probably better
wtf u talking about
Light movement is nightly
Even with 3 I wouldn't wear sharpened, trait is wack
Just wanted to run the generic sim on all defaults
I mean, under 10k you are doing a lot wrong tbh. sorry.
I always run no buffs because I primarily run M+
m+ with no ss. /wrist
I mean, I'd love some SS
It's especially terrible in m+
But Blizz doesnt want me to have SS
fully raid buffed your sims dont look that awful
still not perfect but not that awfu
We're talking about Single target??? @ruby idol
I mean the guy who linked his sims just said he does m+ mostly so I followed up on that
ye
But he simmed single target
I mean, I literally just never get good traits
I figured I'd hopefully out DPS a DH on ST
lol
have you been maining rogue? the 370 random azerite has filled my bags with traits.
But luckily my DK gets plenty of top 5 traits on his gear 
Yeah, maining rogue this xpac
First time playing a rogue actually, just never got around to them until now
Formerly played Pally,Shaman,Mage,DK,Warlock,Druid
it alright to stack a galecallers boon (380) and a doom's wake (370)? they seem so far and above but the 20s delay between the two is a little oof
Also, is there anything you see I could improve that isn't RNG 😛
well, other than weapon enchants
if you wanted to big brain that combo, use the doom on open, and let it stack. then vendetta into the vanish gg gc exang
that's a big oof on my end
v big brain, I'll give it a go
Used to them fancy free DK enchants 😦
just rerolling and got hella lucky on drops it's disgusting
i ran myself on a 6min light, no buffs. and have good gear for the ilvl. came in 11.2k. so i guess its just a weird sim.
exsang is a snapshot ability right?
yeah.
just the haste though.
there arent a lot of 6min fights that you wont use flask lust etc.
solid, ty
I did get a bizarre 385 helm today, forgot to equip it before I left
who is a good rogue to watch and learn from? or logs to look at because im braindead as fuck
Of course the same shitty traits, lol
fragnance has a pretty good rogue video on the method channel
Maybe blizz will replace my 340 shoulders one day 
m+ notflawless is who I generally watch too, small enough chat that he'll answer a ton of questions
flawless is great
@sick monolith seli is really chill as well.
also he shares his ui for free
ty
Ty btw @lone junco
my !stealth macro stopped working, am I losing my mind or did something change?
any particular dungeons you guys prefer sub over assas or more affix related
Im casual so choose assa over sub everywhere in pugs. 😿
In this M+ week should sin rogue run bleed build?
Everywhere I read it says poison build, but the folks I run M+ with wants me to try bleed.

U mean exsg vs tb?-_-
Yeah and Crimson Tempest
can I nag someone to take a look at my logs later tonight?
i know sims is sims and dummy is dummy, but im beating my dummy sim target and somehow just shitting the bed in the raid
U can use ct everywhere. Aoe from ct > pb bonuses on st
@narrow slate and u eun exsg specially coz of more energy regen on trash and synergy with ss + subterfuge.
would you guys use triple 385ss or 2 385ss and 1 385 archive for m+ 🤔
should i delay first vendetta on M mother?
my group is doing the spirit link strat so i have to peel off boss like 10 seconds in
Still need aboe 345 SS shoulders D:
so on fights like vectis, should I fan of knives to cleave the add/boss or just mutilate boss/add
mut
ty
General usage rules are now:
- Use Mutilate at 2 Targets always, swapping targets with Mutilate briefly if needed to reapply poisons to the second target (with or without Double Dose)
- Use Fan of Knives any time a target doesn't have Deadly Poison at 3 targets (or 3-4 with 2+ Ranks of Double Dose), otherwise use Mutilate on your primary target
- Use Fan of Knives spam at 4+ targets (or 5+ with 2+ Ranks of Double Dose)
thanks for the additional info
@dark token do you have a 385 scent? I like the tab ruptures in big packs.
no rip
@dark token if i can choose im think one archive on hard tyranical bosses only. Like maybe Tos. But im running 85 Fok shoulders anyway imstead of archive, coz no drop from zul -- run normal shoulders for many weeks --
wait is SS really that good still? every sim I look at still shows Double Dose and Sharpened Blades above
anyone else vanish / garrote not applying the empowered buff?
i run ss x2 and sometimes when i vanish garrote it wont apply the buff
heres the fight
@last crown if you are seeing SS low on the st, it is because you are looking at a MA/TB list. the subterfuge exang lists still have ss very high.
@solemn mason how do u know
@solemn mason are you sure you cast the garrote in the subterfuge?
in the last one?
@solemn mason you have a macro with garrote vanish. ?
you literally garrote, then vanish.
you are fucking it up
.3 seconds after the garrote you vanish
lol
the garrote hits first
not even that, 0.03
and it is 0.03 s
just cool it, and vanish first. the gcd isnt lost.
and you burn that suberfuge, and rip your dps anyway
Does it matter which enchant is on which weapon?
Like does deadly have to be on main hand or can it be on offhand?
Either hand. Just not two of the same
Cool thanks
someday i'll get 385 shrouded pieces so i can play sin in m+....
yeah but not better than my sub or outlaw gear
Should I be stacking archive azerite for raid?
no
why is Toxic Blade+Master Poisoner simming so well wtf
mastery going up bb
Mythic fetid should we be on the big or small adds
will link logs in a bit, but any quick suggestions as to why my DPS is so shit on zek?
big add if youre an ass ass rogue
and saving your cooldowns for them
and have you tried stabbing harder?
even vend?
our RL organized our CDs so
everything at start
i save vanish so i can use it on 1st add
so 1st add = vanish + GCB + exsang
2nd add = vendetta + GCB + Exsang
3rd add = hero + pot
then its back to tunnel boss
got shrouded though?
im running TB and dont have shrouded, so the vanish changes will only make a small difference on that one add, which is honestly dying so fast i imagine its tiny
ahh
if youre not having add damage problem
then fucks given = 0
we were having issues on our first add
just trying to figure out why my DPS is so damn shit
zek
oh, i've been talking about mem8 fetid
assi isnt the strongest for that fight anyway
you can try run CT for some add damage padding
still would like to not be parsing fucking green
but i only have one log on him anyway and its shit because i fucked up and died half way through the fight
Could I ask for some feedback for my craptastic logs please. Recently swapped from Outlaw to Sin and it just isn't clicking for some reason. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WTYXzHyBfgvV4M7N
yeah i cannot figure this shit out wtf, my cooldown usage and move breakdown is similar to the top rogues on zek
is THAT much of the fight orb order and lust timing?
has anyone had DS/exsang sim top
it happens. but when ive seen it, its not a substantial gain over vig
yea its 50 dps but it took me by surprise
what lvl 100 talent should i be using for this week in m+?
is crimson temp any good?
if you're doing large pulls CT is much better. Especially with Teeming/Fortified
i need help can someone help me out and whisper me
@ebon tapir how should I open on big pulls with ct
1ct over rapture
Then Raptures
?
Ten dump?
Then*
3 Garrotes is common knowledge
if u use TB talent, invest into envenom
exsan thing im not sure of
logically maybe vanish after exsan?
🤔
@signal salmon g g g , CT, g, fok rup
@signal salmon big pulls, for exp FH first 9 trash. With 5+ mob u can use a full duration rupture, less than 5 they die faster so u dont have to apply a full cp rup
No not instant but less than 5 mob rhey die about 10-12 sec
my packs doesnt die that quick 
they easily last over one full cp duration of rupture
U have a full premade grp or doing it with pugs?
both
The reason is I think that u complete higher M+ than 10
Hmm. Usually we do M+ with warr, rogue, hunter. We all have almost the same dmg , around 20-25k at FH10. I take it as an example cause it was a few days ago. And I was wrong cause its not 10-12 sec its around 16 at 3 target
And sorry for those whose eyes are bleeding at the morning because of my broken english 😇
I asking for 11+

@worldly ledge why use ct over first rapture + exsang -_-
would yall use a 390 fetid trinket over fathoms?
for M+ i've been running 370 dice/galecallers for raid ive been using 370 dice/fathoms but i got a 390 fetid trinket tonight

It's the only way
On paper, fetid trinket for sin is pretty garbage
But it's 390, so I don't know
I have simmed myself with top gear on raidbots, its telling me 390 but its also telling me to put on mastery enchants on my wep and enchant masterywhen stat weights say that haste is greater than my agi
Now for the ring is haste
yeah i've got 27's on atm but im still wondering about the mastery enchant on my OH
Maybe you have so much crit on other pieces
So mastery take the place for the enchant
ive got 1,006 crit rating outta combat outta raid
just under 25%
with 956 haste 144 vers 838 mastery
1k crit is a lot
should i change my 370 SS chest to 385 DD one ? not sure if sim is right on it
sims are right for it
Really? i've just been trying to stack haste/crit gear
u dont really stack depending on content
ended up looting a 385 zek ring that sims better and put me up like 163 crit
also, i hear that im supposed to try to keep elaborate planning above 75% uptime, but i cant seem to hit that even envenoming at 4 CP
again, depends on fight
EP high uptimes are sometimes just impossible due to mechanics and phases
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/BdQDCqr4W8gHFPvY/#fight=1&type=auras&source=2 here is M mother tonight, and i got to just sit on the boss the entire time
its something u can sharp up on
but i wouldnt put a lot of focus onto that uptime
What could've I improved on there?
I'm used to being able to throw my logs into wow analyzer but last time i checked the spec wasnt supported 😦
be less spammy with envenoming without capping on energy
assa spec is not huge apm spec
What do you mean by be less spammy? It may seem like a dumb question but I don't get it
that u dont push envenom the moment u have 4+ cp
u can just look at energy levels and EP buff duration
assa is kind of spec that timing abilities brings better results than spamming anyway
So, i should just try to cast a finisher when EP is about to run out?
and slow down my gameplay a bit?
after opener yeah
its pretty surprising that nothing actually changes when u slow down
😃
who knows maybe my damage will go up slowing down some, ive got less than 4 days played at 120 on rogue so im still really really new
thank you for your help ill read up and definately make a EP buff WA to track it
looking up top rogue parses
can someone explain on taloc the garrote rupture garrote opener?
does it stack the garrote durations?
that’d be if they were running ss and subterfuge
@wide horizon Check pins and scroll down to pandemic, that's why
And also, all openers are in the guide in the pins :)

For m+ it's best to take 2 SS + 1 Doube dose compared to 2 Double dose + 1 SS (all same ilvl)
right?
probably yeah
Y
2 ss 1dd is good for high tyrannical
Also for kings rest, because there is not much room for fok packs
But it's just my personal preference
How many applications of rupture do you guys go with on pulls of 5-7 mobs? Provided these mobs live long enough for a full duration
@amber sparrow all. Than Ull have infinity amount of nrg to beat the living sht out of them.
is there any use in running 3x SS?
Most guides say 1/2 traits but never mention 3
I was running 385 SS helm + 370 SS shoulders + 370 Archive chest but got a 385 SS Chest out of m+ cache
I don't have an archive on shoulders tho
3xSS is for m+
There's only 1 ss helm in the game, you're pretty lucky to have it at 385
Week 1 ;D
congrats dude
So yea, if you do m+, you're lucky with your traits
Right now it is yeah. I rerolled halfway into the tier so only got 5 stacks or Reorigination atm
still for m+ id prefer atleast one stack of SoB
got a chest 385 with twist the knife/dagger in the back, Idk what to take 😥

:^)
@shrewd bane got the same one, lets hope for some better sims than Devourer HC chest
which i use for the SS trait
ahaha I also have a chest with SS.. my only one
shit got a 370head with twist the blade ><
hm seesm like ditb will be a 2.6% upgrade for me, lets see how it works on vectis tomorrow 😦
I was hoping for SS D:
can you sim not being behind the target? to see how much worse dagger in the back is.
i now got 3x the azerite helmet with tradewinds, and no other 385 piece
im not slightly pissed
@torpid kernel Change position from front to back in your /simc copy
@spice surge ty
for m+ would yall use a 340 SS trait over a 385 archive?
is it your only ss?
nah, i have a 355 ss chest
I'd say no, but no sure way to know
then probably not, too much stat lost
That's what i was thinking since thats almost 400 agi counting archive
not for archives, the difference bettwen a 340 and 385 item alone is huge allready
Does anybody know where I can get proper azurite weights for the add on for sin?
Herodamage.com is always the goto
hey guys can u tell me what i can change for more dps? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/42txSWYPkDZFv18TNJtiWS
Hey guys, hope everyone is happy with their weekly chest 😃 I was hoping you could tell how you guys sim for single target and aoe? Fx. 1 boss 3 min. single target and 10 bosses 40 sec aoe.
U are missing 1 stack of array
Acha, 5 min sims are standard for st
exsang or tb is still a personal decision?
so with 2 ss i go exsang
Hey Yoppa, thank you for your quick reply 😃
what u guys think of a dooms wake? better then gale caller or fh dice?
and remember using 2 on-use trinkets is ass

@elder cypress switching from small ring enchants to the big ones improves dps
wtf?
it's not like you gonna switch em that quick
they are worth the bigger enchants
if iam lucky i loot 2 today at mother mythic 😄
Man u aren't gonna change them quickly u have both of them with socket
And good stats
yea thats right somehow
sockets are worth more than 20 ilvl so unless you get mythic socket rings ur gonna have them for a while
atleast one of them
Socket can be ~15ilvls so you'll be fortunate to find something better soon, especially as the upgraded enchants are no where near as expensive as release
Yeah exactly Saryero.
Slap those enchants boi
👌🏼
What is the priority on crimson tempest
And how many mobs should i be using it on minimum
3+
I open up with triple garrot then rupture then crimson?
is 3 SS worth it over 2SS and 1 Scent of Blood?
If they're the same ilvl no celiok, otherwise it depends on ilvl difference
same
mhh 370 emissaries are useful at something I see
TFW you still have 340 shoulders because you can't get some to drop from anything.
so, i have two sets of 370 shoulders, one that has shrouded suffocation and one that doesn't
the one that doesn't sims better
but i have no other ss traits
im running mostly m+, any thoughts?
Did you only sim ST? Doubt any other trait of the same ilvl sim higher in m+
might be my opinion but I never rely on m+ sism,they count for the "perfect situation",no movement have all CD's etc.I'd rather ask someone who has tried different pieces.
how many targets should we rupture in m+ with CT? I got a 385 head with swirling sands(crit proc) and Scent of Blood, and scent sims higher but i'm not sure about that. (I do m+ in 11-13 range now.)
okay, thanks
is it worth it to play around envenom/ep uptime or just use cp as i gain them
Hey guys, can anyone recommend some good places to read up on how to better myself in mythic +? i'm getting super confused about trinkets to use , traits and gearing i also have no idea how to sim for mythic + . i feel like im under preforming and would just like a starting point to do some reasearch. are the Mr robot mythic + sims any good?
Pinned messages
thanks
hey guys, i just saw i sim on crimson tempest for m+ at 5 targets 40sec higher than poison bomb. how exactly is my opener rotation? 3x garrote 1x rupture > crimson tempest?
not sure about 3 but 4 definitely
Hello everyone ! Is it possible to request help with analyzing my logs to improve and get better parses in Uldir ?
does it matter where I place my enchantments on my wespons?
crit haste main/offhand?
No difference
Here are logs for the two first boss MM : https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/pyqxQ38nFNJZcj7W
And one for an HM run : https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/aJ6Xqbv1DzwMNf3p
Both are with my guild, and my character is zex
If anyone finds anything useful, feel free to pm me or discuss here
get better weapons and ring 😃
Why do you have same enchants on both weapons
Also what is this opener https://gyazo.com/903d1661a556c4889bc656e4ab3206a1
@void moth
- Check the guide here for the opener, you're just wasting your vanish with the one youre doing.
- Use two different enchants, they dont stack
well I can finally replace Fathoms. A 390 Construct overcharger is a whopping 0.2% more DPS for me after it got buffed
How did his offhand mutilate not trigger for one cast?
when did construct overcharger got buffed?
Last reset
That is really nice
@strange python ahah ! Nasty M.O.T.H.E.R doesn't want me to get better dagger
I did not know same enchant did not stack. Which one should I take ?
@spice surge Why am I wasting vanish ? Isn't that second garrote going to be really good because of Subterfuge ?
Where can I find the guide ?
You already have subterfuge?
your first one was still on mate
In the pins or ontop of this page
Also, on fights that isnt just ST your uptimes on garrote+rupture is low
which fights for example ?
Zek'vos, mythrax, zul
I should work a little more on my weakaura to use garrote more often
Orb bitch duty in m+ this week do you guys open on a big pull x3 garrote the straight into CT then orbs come do you rupture orb 1 for energy? If so do you do same for orb 2 ect? Looking for tips first week as sin for affix. Ofc I know rupture might not kill the orb, purely for energy to help kill orb 3,4,5 ect
where can I see that :P?
It used to be 40, now its 60 (385 that is)
Idk, ingame?
My protip to deal with orbs as Assassination - Spec Outlaw :p
I've also tried exsanguinate / CT but I can't figure out how to use it properly
I am normally assassin for M+, but I was running last night with a UH DK and an undergeared Spriest. I had to go outlaw and I did 76% of the orb dps
Yeah lol was purely outlaw b4 it's ez but rng gods gave me no sword over 355 so fk this game x
using pandemic get counter intuitive when I use exsanguinate
Gl with that logic @strange python the groups I've ran already have 5 orbs up. You have no energy after 2 or 3 orbs
Orbs have like no hp n you should have melee dps or hunter
Very very rarely i'm energy starved and i just throw a Rupture on an orb for a quick 50+ energy, but outside of that it's a waste. Most of the time i never need to touch them
The tank should also be primary one getting most orbs
In a perfect world
I mean sure in pugs, but you wouldn't pug anything higher then 10
At least I wouldn't
I think I’m going to go outlaw this week, just for the AOE in m+. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but on trash fights I’m always last in AOE damage.
aoe in assa is harder to master
I’ve been focusing primary targets and orbs and let the other two dps do the cleaving.
quick question, if my weighs show that haste > agi, should i discard the +40 agi gem in favor of 40 haste? or should i always have 1 40 agi gem?
I haven’t really played sub much lately. I’ve seen sub rogues put up some good aoe with secret technique, but outlaw feels so good to just pop blade flurry and dps the primary target.
@low palm probably discard, but if you could Sim without the agi gem to be sure, that would be good, as your stat weights could change enough to swap them.
@quick ice thanks, i think i'm at the spot where agi-haste have almost the same weight so it could be more or less the same, i'll sim. I got some weird comments for not having the agi gem by guildies
and thought maybe i was wrong and should always have an agi one, but i guess not 😉
Yeah don't worry if the haste comes out ahead, happens for a few classes and for many in legion too.
Just remind them that haste is better for you.
It's probably only like 2-3 dps difference though.
everything counts 😃 ty
Does mastery sim better for m+ for you guys too?
With tripple shrouded suffocation, haste sims as the worst
I just swapped out all my gems for mastery even though raidbots said haste and agility were higher and ran the sim again and got a significant dps increase.
yes, mastery sims best for aoe - not that I could change any of my gear, so I just eat different food lol
dont do that lol
So sims are bad?
You're going to do 0 dps on bosses
On fortified they arent the problem anyway
mastery in bfa is 
crit is the goto stat for m+, should go up around 30%, some haste and the rest goes into mast vers not the other way around
tell me how to win vs frost dk in dps
roll a DH
Kick out of group
i havent met single dps DK that outdps me on rogue

@drifting elbow our unholy is a monster for the first 40sec or so. Works well in m+.
well UH is monster when there is a lot of mobs
Like 35k trash with me.
His single is strong too though.
He won't play breath because mechanics make it dumb.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/pN1HBMwyCYLP2zDj/ amI not pooling enough energy?
same name as on discord
feels like im not doing it 😒
outside burst haivng issues doing finisher in EP
maybe my gear is shit
idfk
according to wowanalyzer im playing it correct
"SORRY, THIS SPEC IS CURRENTLY NOT SUPPORTED"
Thats the weird thing about wowanalyzer atm at least for sin it says that the analyzer supports it for 8.0.1 (https://wowanalyzer.com/#Specializations) but whenever you run a report through it the site says the spec isnt supported
Also afaik @buoyant coyote You dont aim to do finishers in EP its great if you can but your main focus should be maximizing envenom uptime
So to do that you envenom watch for your envenom buff to fall off and cast your envenom at the last second to elongate the buff ,and while waiting youve heopfully built up enough energy to cast another envenom before that one wears out
I have 95 logs as sin and follow those rules
Only time i really play around EP is if im overflowing with energy
i have ones on normal but not hc :S
okay, thanks ❤
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/34445789#difficulty=4 managed to almost get rid of all blue logs today
Yea ghuun is a tough one just gotta hope that timings line up that you dont miss a cast trying to have vendetta for laser
*miss a cast of envenom
er vendetta
😅
but during burst phase i can focus to finish in EP a few times and after that just env uptime
you can pool if you're low on energy to get better uptimes on EP
On vectis i find that im generating enough energy to play around ep but thats with 2 tragets dotted, galecallers and vendetta just cast. So basically i have more energy then i can even spend at times
Otherwise sin is a slow spec all about watching uptimes and maxmising them you have a lot of free time to just sit there and auto attack while you watch timers and plan ahead
is double shrouded still best in M+? its not even on blood mallet for hectic add cleave.. so its it not good anymore?
my blood mallet is bugged actually but question still sstands
Personall use herodamage because I believe Rogue TC'ers are in more direct control of it but afaik its still BiS to run 3 stacks

385,380,375
imo dice is certain
Then probably spyglass
But really your best answer will come from simming
for this affixes i guess will better heart and spy
On Mythic Zekvoz, do you boys run CT? 🤔
If you want to pad yea
But really if yore sin on that fight your job is to push boss afaik
Run PB
I was doing like 17k last night and I had lowest DMG on adds. Just felt useless, but I guess I shine in P3
Never CT in Uldir

If you want to do add dmg you have to play outlaw and roll crit buff when adds come and use Kspree
As sin its pray your poison bombs go in the right spot
and even then you wont do much
yea im starting to play outlaw on zek and vec now
I've always played sin but my traits and gear worked out pretty well for sin
And not so well for outlaw
guys, im confused, a rogue 376 do more damage on his garrot than me 379
average tick 3.6
average tick 2.7
how can I do more damage on garrot's ticks guys ?
Ss Traid?
got ss traits
does he have more mastery
Both have the same quantity of SS traits?
Can you give us a log of you and this other rogue?
Caus eotherwise all we can do is guess
yes
let me see
we jsut did
HC uldir
so I dont have logs :/
fuck, well im confused my stuff might be wrong
Yea without logs we can only guess. Does he have more of a secondary then you do? Did he dot an add and you didnt? and the list goes on for how many reasons there could be
yes, I exactly know what you mean
how should i play in M+ ? multi rupture / garrote on every mob and keep Crimson Tempest up ?
You run the shrouded suffocation trait and on opener you triple garrote (if its a bigger scary pack yo vanish and triple garrote 3 other mobs) then put rupture up on the biggest longest living target
then ct and/or spread rupture
Kinda depends on pack
I need to try CT this week
yeah have 1 shrouded trait, wasnt just sure on rupture how many i should put up

why not sub?
