depends on your gear
for sure
on traits you use
i wanna say
that when you run double dose traits its more likely tb will sim higher than exsang
im so used to my rotation without exsang though
but if you run shrouded
i wanna say exsang will sim higher than tb
but thats purely
wild guess from me
which looks logical
2ss is 100% exsang, with only 1 its pretty varied and idk what really makes either one go ahead
but in general just go for what sim goes for
but if difference is like
100 dps
or like lets say 1%
2% even
just go for w/e you're more comfortable
its not big difference and depends on timing
what is gonna be better
how does a rotation with exsang look like for you guys
whats considered stronger, 2 x SS or 2 x DD?
2x DD definitely for pure single target
will sim higher
but idk i play 2x SS
i like it
I'd recommend checking resources such as herodamage.com, they give a really good overview of trait strength
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
palying exsang is kind of counter intuitive
because you have to refresh your dots before pandemic
because it doesnt influence
how you play
i have both sets of traits, so ill do some testing and see how it feels
at all
you just do standard rotation
i guess
nothing changes when you play DD vs SS really
Hey guys,whats your ilvl?I have 379 and and i cant get higher unless i get titanforge,any tips for gear farm?
Farming high m+ keys since you get more drops that way and just pray to RNGesus for titanforges
I haven't gotten TF from M+ yet but I've got like 6-7 370s with gemslots
You can also do arenas
Having 2.1k gives you a 380 (or 385 azerite) every reset
and right now its fairly easy to achieve because the season has been so long and rating inflation is a thing (compared to a month ago for example)
IS 14K DPS decent for 361 ilevel
Hello, a little question about exsang usage. When it comes off cooldown, should I hard refresh both bleeds and use it or maybe delay it ? and should I also delay the 2nd vendetta to match with the 4th exsang ?
@grave trail I am 17k at 370. But can flex as low as 16.4 with bad traits. Each 10 ilvl seems to flex about 1k dps. So a bit low, but good traits and trinkets will help.
Refresh rupture if its under 20 seconds, refresh garrote if its on pandemic @wide willow
And do it the seconds BEFORE exsang is ready so you dont delay it
That being said I have very good gear for 370.
You delay vendetta to line up with 4:th exsang and vanish yes
okay
well in my shoulder pieaces i have tidal surge
pieces*
and the one with ss wich is 10 ilevels lower sims lower
okay, thanks
got chest from cache
🔫
Doom’s Wake/Lion’s Guile sims higher than Galecaller’s Boon for TB. It also doesn’t have the positional requirement so in practice it’s likely even farther ahead.
may have missed it but does the taloc trinket buff make it competitive?
All resources are updated, but its still not very fantastic
off to simtown i go
3x SS should be best for m+ right? i mean cant really sim it myself, cause every week and every dungeon is different
so just if someone got the knowledge of it
SS is good in in any quantity in M+.
Yes, with equal ilvl SS is definitely the goto
A lot of people run 1 or 2 scent of blood traits too though. It is pretty strong once you have multiple ruptures out.
@tulip wedge 385 taloc is not better than 355 fathoms or 365 gc for me. so 🤷
how come ravenholdt says shrouded suffocation is a top single target trait, but bloodmallet rankes it very low down ?
ok thanks : )
um hey guys
cen i ask u guys somting ?
how do rogeu get there cleave out ting assin
dont get it
ok so if I understand that correctly
Rupture + garrote is your "aoe"
As assassination
Spreading dots
so thet it ?
cen i marco them togeter ?
no
ok
just be fest tap
Garrote + rupture + fok + deadly poison is toolkit
Crimson tempest asw if talented tho
@spice surge i did not know about herodamage, thanks!
Are the ravenholdt guides the most up to date and accurate?
Usually yes. If there's anything that needs updating you should reach out to the authors
after looking at the guide so haste is our worst stat in mythic +?
yeah. haste is a huge boost to energy. once you have 4+ ruptures out, you will E cap quickly
thus dead stat..
other than that, you need crit for cp gain on fok.
so we spec M+ as Crit/Mastery
guys what do you think assasination rogues dps should look like with ilvl 353 in pvp?
ty
is there a way to enteer old BT this week? everytime i run to instance i get ported to TW. noone answering in tmog so maybe i can get answer here
was vers so bad for us?
why* sorry
*why is vers so bad for us? * i cant fucking type
vers is bad for pretty much everyone cus its the most boring stat ingame
you are slightly better in everything, thats vers
can someone give me some advice on this? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hpz68FbTmw93DyZSTTJ4Pu double dagger in the back obv going to sim higher but idk
That is if u're 100% time behind the target
Yeah, feel like I should swap at least one for twist the knife
Even though it’s 200 less in the sim
what's the difference between parry and dodge
is it different mechanically
Don't think so
Same shit
Block and parry are both considered successful attacks that hit. Block reduces a portion of the damage where as parry negates all the damage. Dodge is considered an attack missing and therefore negating all damage.
When a warrior's special attack is parried, he does not spend all the rage cost associated with that spell (even though the spell fails). Miss, dodge, or block events will consume the full rage cost when the spell fails.

94% rup uptime and 86% garrote uptime 😬
what is this opener https://gyazo.com/eab8bb959d1e261af8347e4cd2cc2d68
no enchants on weapons
Read the guide
i just looked at my own zul kill the one time i went assassination and it has 80% uptime of rupture, i blame it on the raidleader literally going berzerk if i focus boss
Can someone please explain
Garrote
Rupture
Garrote
Vendetta
Toxic Blade
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote twice
Why would you garrote rupture then garrote again?
And why does it end in garrote twice?
(from ravenholdt.net - One or more Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blde)
did u jsut played assa rogue more than hour ?
Yeah, I still can't understand why we would garrote twice in a row
pandemic
to extend the duration
Pandemic was the passive for Warlocks during MoP, which allowed DoTs to be refreshed upto 50% before. It's now baked into all classes as standard at 30% or whatever. So if your Rupture lasts x seconds (no idea what it actually is), you can reapply it at 6 seconds and under, and nothing will be lost. You'll then just get a longer second Rupture.
!snek
wrong channel buddy
@supple hearth ok, I now understand pandemic
but still confused at garroting twice in a row
as won't the second garrote remove the empowered garrote from nightstalker?
thats why you play subterfuge
ok got you
has herodamage been updated for the buff to construct overcharge (taloc trinket)?
have to wait another month for a chance for ss shoulders 
You can get them from zandalari emissary for horde too
yea thats what i ment
they dont rotate fast enough 
never gotten that shoulders yet got the chest like 4 times in a row
cool and from teh looks of it it's still rather garbage?
another question.... does vendetta empower bleeds that are already active?
the 30% dmg increase, if I already have rupture & garrote on a target, will that bleed damage be increased by 30%?
or is the 30% dmg increase only applied to garrote/ruptures that are cast during vendetta?
@normal bough it's because of the SS as well. It makes for cheap 3cps. And g r g mut r. Makes for full duration pandemic of both garrote and rupture. Then vanish into 23sec SS garrote.
Vend buffs any damage during its duration.
@normal bough its only empowered during vend's 20 second window, if you want your bleeds to be snapshotted you should go play feral
multi-dotting on zul will help your dps a lot. more bleeds = more energy
What
Isn't it green
It might be red when you are oor and ui helps you out.
Very green
bleed knife red 
can you shadowstep to monk statue in ghuun to take the second gateway to dunk?
Don't think so, but ask him to drop it and see. Can't step to totems I don't think.
if its Mythic then monks should be using RoP anyway over angry dave statue
He meant jade statute
And the jade statue sometimes bugs so you cant jump to it, idk what causes it
statue shadowstep bugged (?) on ghuun for me, just said "You can't use that here" whenever i tried to step to it
worked fine on the ground
for druids it worked always
i ended up doing the first run in my orb group
So I don’t see it in the pins anywhere, but, do we dump ilevel for favorable traits?
I would assume no
on azerite pieces
what sub azerite talent is used to zul?
2x FD and archive i believe
@astral gyro Depends on how bad traits you have, thats why you use raidbots to sim yourself
@balmy perch there is a guide in the #subtlety pins
i have hoarded all my 370 azerite
Ok nvm its no longer in the pins, but its recently posted
Unless you have truly awful traits not really
sounds good
For ST

if the contruct is any lower then 385
does sim has updated stats for construct because bloodmallet and herodamage does not seem to have them
you go darkmoon

Its still not an amazing trinket, just less bad than it was.
Plus 385 of it is arguably easier to get than M+ trinkets.
how many ilvls on a ring is a socket worth?
depends
Do many of you play w/o any SS trait? I sim higher with arch arch double Dose, eg. But w/o even one ss trait i tend to do less dmg than with it
usually around 10-15
I have a 355 version of the band of certain annihilation and somehow its superior to my mythic level base ring?
@versed bobcat on bosses, or like, overall M+?

ok so question.... please dont roast, but does it still matter to be behind the boss as a rogue for melee swings?
Definitely. Bosses can parry/block attacks from the front.
Major damage reduction if you let them do those.
Plus having say, TB parried is awful feeling.
ok... now i feel really stupid, i bet my parses would be way better if i didnt do that
most of my parses are high 80's low 90's but i can get them higher than that if i dont do that lol
@quick ice waht is TB if you dont mind me asking?
Toxic Blade
Yeah, and it doesn't apply the debuff if it does.
well rip
think im doing something wrong on fetid at least, could anyone see why ? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2gX6JvDMfycpCr4L/#fight=9&type=damage-done&source=22
apart from the fact that i got CT instead of poison bomb (im big dumb)
if your on 4cp and garrote is about to fall off you can garrote then envenom
but dont mut
if you dont have to refresh garrote you envenom on 4
or rupture if its about to fall off
i c
but you should look at the guide in the pins
its all covered there
your garrote uptime is also a little low
ok ! ty !
by doing higher dungeons
do u need to beat the key in time to get +lvls?
you get a lot more score if yo udo it in time
Ideally you time it
ok thanks, i feel like i didnt get any + for doing a +8 tol dagor which was about 4 mins late i think
Ex: I've seen 12 in time worth more than a 14 out of time
And you complete a 12
i think you have to do it early in the week too maybe
before the learderboards fill up
im not 100% sure on that coz i never paid attention to it
okay thanks guys, appreciate the help
Don’t think it matters
That's less of an issue unless you're doing very low keys on a high pop server
Raiderio now shows what the minimum is to be recorded on your server
if i havnt done a m+ dungeon yet, should i even start with like +5/6's to get raider up then?
If you go to your character page
The main thing to remember for score is that you have to push all the dungeons
can push your own key
even the ones that are a pain in the ass yeah
sitting on 960 because I just hate shrine of the storm lol
You can have much higher/better keys and still be lower score than someone who instead pushed all the dungeons
I have a 9 siege cause I just never had the key LOL
I spend most of my time spam tanking atal dazar and freehold 10-13’s on main
aight thanks guys 😄
FH is the dream
Drawback of that though is that I know fuck all about the ins and outs of most of the other instances
That's really rough as a tank
As DPS it's less of a big deal as long as you've got a strong communicative group
yeah it just needs
Practice
But hard to get practice because you goof up somebody’s key the flame is bound to happen
Do you use MDT? If not it's a really strong tool
I’ve been considering it
It's really nice, and the UI is way better than I initially thought it was gonna be
MDT is amazing
knowing what you are going to do before you do it will make it much easier
Just do shrine and siege e z
That's a pretty bad spread tbh, but just do a 9/10 of the ones you hate
Just once nbd
if you hate shrine as a sin rgoue you're gonna have a bad time
i do m+ on lock dont @ me
how often do u get M+ keys out of dungeon chests if it wasnt ur key that started the dungeon?
literally the dungeon with best gear for you
delete your key
whats ur main?
Blood dk
I know but I like to have alts
hmm i guess
The only problem with pugging for score is when people are smart about how they check you
What does that entail
Keeps you from jumping from a lowbie key right to a high key even if you've done other high(er) keys
For example you might have an okay score but with some low keys
I've got a 9siege for example, if I applied to a 14 they may not take me
Despite having done other higher keys
ss or archive of the titans for M+?
Cause it shows highest for dungeon
well i think that matters if you are applying for a siege
right
Well most of the other dungeons I would literally only do for the score
the stuff I really need I have pretty high already
Decently so
Yep, but unfortunately they may not take you to a specific dungeon if your highest for that dungeon is too low
add the good ppl you find
yeah I get ya
though
Only really an issue for slightly higher keys/more selective pugs
But def agree, add good people
Ran with a good group last week
Managed to get the exact same group going for a couple runs this week
Add em and make notes of who they are/what they play so you don't forget
I'm horrible with names and I accept like almost any invite so I had to start putting like "M+, disc priest' to organize people lmao
yeah I do that too
Finally got my rogue to 120. I mained Assassination during Dragon Soul.
I spammed timewalking this week to get my rogue 110-120
I never knew it gave so much exp
Niceu. Yeah that's how I leveled a couple of my other toons. The rogue is my 10th 120.
can you get 370 head with SS from emissarys?
leveling up with TW
u r crazy
there seems to be one head that has SS but nobody has reported for getting it
It really seemed way faster and less tedious than questing
I can’t be asked to go through the quest lines again
and island spam is too mind numbing
I was getting like 500k exp per dungeon
so it was like a level every 2 or 3
damn
ripperino
i was at like 18 or 19k dps shortly before i picked up my orb
mythic?
well ppl get good parse without being in last orb turn
just get orb like 1min before kill
orange ofc

please respect my 93s
please respect my 30 ghuun parse
im on seal team 6 p1 im chillin alone in the corner with 1 tentacle boi
have u tried new mythrax yet
i havent i wanna just mongo it seems like its like super free for melee now
just full mongo
you can all stack behind boss now pretty chill yea
My raid had spent like a bit under 2 nights total on mythrax and had a pretty good fluke last phase pull. Then it got nerfed right before our next raid (Thursday)
We had 5 absences that night, brought in 3 people who'd never seen the fight one who was like a 1-2 week fresh 120
Still got the kill, nerf was huge
I feel robbed of actually killing the boss prenerf
But also fuck that boss is dead 👌
With all our absences we probably couldn't have killed it without the nerf
233,0
can u only get azerite pieces from weekly M+ chest and M+0 dungeons?
so u cant get them from the chest at the end of m+ dungeons?
No
hmm i now understand the fuss about it being a bad system lol
thanks Eleen
Eleem*(
!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.
@grave trail outlaw has proc response, and bones tracking. Need a good WA to be competitive.
that being said, i dont see a reason to play outlaw right now.
sin 3t is godly. sin aoe is good if not great. and sin ST is better than outlaw st.
Main reason I don't like outlaw is cause of sinister strike rng, annoys me and isn't responsive enough
higher apm for less dps is weird to me.
I don't mind RTB but it'd be cool if slice n dice was competitive
that being said, I havent simmed outlaw in months. I have bags and bags of shit. so ill give is a run.
I don't feel like dropping from 380 to 370 weapon heheh
only 1.3k dps loss.
yeah, depends on traits/talents/stats etc.
sockets too
I'm still 375 but I got like 6-7 sockets heh
but only 1 385 azerite piece... at least 2x 380 weps
my socket slots sim better than the 385s I got for those slots too
The best example is 15 ilvl on weapons VS 15 ilvls on bracers
Its 1 ilvl overall both of them
But one is worth like 3-4x as much
yep
socks on some pieces are like worht 15ilvl, at least in comparison to some secondary stat combinations
in toldagor is there any way rogue skip the cannon mobs with out deathrunning it?
you can sacrifice vanish too break aggro i think
mount up, hope you dont get dazed, run too the end and vanish should work
Youd have to be more than 20 yds away when you vanish. Doesnt include the group
thats why i said hope you dont get dazed
but yeha, not a viable start or something
just best to shroud to avoid those mage pack and the dude guarding the door?
depends how your group pulls I guess. We pulled for %in my last one cause we skipped all cannon mobs

So as Sin on Fetid, I remember having a discussion here about shadowstep on Fetid. And was told that I shouldn't be SS'ing at all on Fetid and to face my back to a wall. Now the main issue is that I don't have the option to face mny back to the wall
what difficulty?
Mythic
you might have been shadowstepping within 11 yards of them and wiping ur grp
lol
fetid mythic is such an aids fight ;-;
Is Outlul not an option? You have the grappling hook at least

Never had issues stepping to boss on fetid
U should be able to and never drop on tanks they are p far away from ur step spot
Shadow step appears behind the boss? Tank is in front of the boss? How is dot going to drop on tank from shadowstep?
@vocal wave https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/233915185042161665/501010073070469120/unknown.png
If you stand where the frost dk is positioned in this picture and shadow step after every stomp you should be able to stay on the boss without spreading it
I would clear that idea with your RL/Melee officer first though
Of course you just have to be careful if the boss moves and has to be repositioned you may have to just not be on boss to allow the tanks to reposition as easily as possible
Seems like sin has minimal 8.1 changes. Are the azerite additions/subtractions good changes?
Yo guys, how did you manage your CDS for Mythic feted ? Im assigned to the big add
i just use mine on 1st and 3rd set
and 2nd pot on 2nd
Anyone here got time to check my simc top gear and help me pick out what would work logically as Sin? (Main outlaw here).
You want someone to predict the best combo?
- Archive
- Dd. SS.
- Ditb, twist, blood rite, sharpknife

does anyone know if blood rite or archive of the titans is better for pvp?
or twist the knife
also, does anyone know if double dose shows up on dps meters? i've been trying to test the proc rate to see if it would be worth in pvp but it seems like it either doesnt register or doesnt proc
it does
You can just count the procc rate, 25% without envenom and 64% with
titans is better
I was watching my auto attack damage and when i'd attack with offhand, about every 2nd or 3rd hit would do an additional 1k damage
so i'm guessing it isnt showing up on my dps meter
What?
Perhaps you shouldn't use DPS meter from 2004
Double dose proccs of mutilate
I'm using the latest version of recount :/
errr
details*
i do not know why i said recount
i just tried using mutilate to see if it proc'd from that and it seems like it does. thank you
Any tips for exsanguinate playstile?
run shrouded suff, get full duration on your bleeds with garrote -> rupture -> garrote -> mutilate -> rupture -> exsanguinate
gets the most out of the exsan
make sure you get both of the garrotes you do while still benefiting from subterfuge
so when do i use galecaller's boon after opener
do i use it on cd
or i delay it for..exsang?
or something
I've never been lucky enough to get one, so I dont really know, if you were to use it during exsang, you could get more energy to stack mutilates during it and make the burst even bigger
I've only ever gotten it to burst 28-29k, but i've heard that people can get it above 35k
yeah , my opener is like that but later i fuck up something
Its in the pins
Oh? ok il check it thanks
How do you guys handle Fetid mythic. I am so upset cause I am walking so much and I feel wheelchair :S
I know I can do shadowstep every 30 secs
and have Sprint, but still
today i did it i was so paranoid i did so bad dps 😄
cuz everywhere i go i have blockade on the way like 5 ranges with circles dont let me pass
exactly
😄
my dps is alright so far, but we're not reaching that far in the fight
so it's banking from the start
archive / SS / DD u archive /DD/ditb is best?

1ss and something else
I was watching the M+ method blizzcon tourny
why was the rogue using crimson tempest?
i thought getting ruptures on a few targets and just envenom fok-ing was the best?
crimson is huge on big pulls, then you go and tab target ruptures
Is there a macro to use galecaller with vendetta?
i think you should use it with exsang not vendetta but i could be wrong
You could theoretically macro it with vendetta yes, its not optimal but it works
Assuming you somehow see that its ready at 1 min and use it
best way to sim m+? 1 min, patchwerk, 5 bosses?

Hey guys, is there a place I can read up on how pooling works and situations when you want to pool?
You generally dont
Or rather, it doesnt really matter. It feels like its better but sims say the difference doesnt exist
Really? I guess I feel like my energy flow is really bad
I guess I am using mutilate at the wrong times
is it a large dps loss to pool energy
No
But its not a gain
They're equal
But in general, as long as you use your cooldowns, keep your bleeds up and dont overcap on energy/cp there isnt much extra damage to gain as assa by doing fancy plays
Okay that is good to know, I tend to pool right before I use toxic blade to get more envenom + multiates out
I am not using exang yet
You should always get exsang within vendetta yeah? I have a tendency to not get exsang in my second vendetta
As long as it means you dont lose out on an vendetta cast yes, you delay vendetta for exsang
The second vendetta you need to delay anyway, because vanish isnt up. So you delay it so you can use vanish+vend+exsang at like 2.25-2.30
Yeah, i forget that sometimes
should i run 2x SS and exsang for killing small adds on mythic fetid?
They don’t live long enough? I prefer TB for the small adds
Yeah typically for small adds you go either TB or switch to sub
Exsang is amazing for big add
for crimson tempest what are the conditions to use it
i wouldnt use it on explosive week
Hey are the ravenholdt guides outdated?
No
No
So my guild should kill mythrax tonight, and I have a G'huun question. Is blindside worth taking since the big DPS struggle is the sub 20% phase? Or is it too big a loss in the rest of the boss?
Was just curious since double dose shows as top on herodamage but guide says SS? Sorry if it's a dumb comment. I'm just looking at rogue for the first time
wouldnt bother with blindside spooce
@quick ice there are literally 0 parses for M G’Huun with Blindside.
Well that certainly answers my question. Cheers guys.
Has anyone had success shadowstepping to a mistweaver statue on the side for running g'huun orbs? I keep getting the error "Can't use that here" unless i'm like directly under the raised edge, and I get los issues there
@quick ice Blindside is truly awful, if you have 1 (or possibly 2, i dont remember) double dose traits, its not worth to use blindside outside of the procc
Gl hf with the boss 😃
That's a bit sad that the talent is so worthless.
Gutripper traits are pretty 🔥 for ghuun though
Yeah I have 2 of those. Might be able to add a 3rd even
anyone still here
nope
As a game design choice, would you guys like to see Azerite traits around specific talents? What if there were a trait that made Blindside really good, would you enjoy finding those pieces of gear?
ok i go away
@signal wave ask away
someone will probably answer your question
@frosty violet I mean, so long as it worked without the talent, and just made that talent better-er than it is normally, yes
if it just improved only the talent I would not like it
so im a newb to rogues, played a dh for a while now, and have just used my boost on a rogue. having some issues with rotation. could someone help a gal out?

CT has been working well for me this week, provided you don't have a tank that pulls one at a time
Is meticulous scheming bugged or something? It sims higher than my other pieces at the moment, but after makinga weakaura for it so i know when it proc'd, i feel like it just never procs
@signal wave for single here is my rot with SS. g r g vendetta muti g muti tox enve muti enve muti enve.
Without burst the vendetta part comes later.
M+ g g g CT g fok rup and if there are no more target for rup fok enve
should i use 2 SS or 1 SS and 1 DD
For what @broken crypt
Yeah M+ I do 2SS and 1 archive because my 345 ss doesn’t cut it.. then raid I go 2 DD and 1 archive although I think 2 archive 1dd might be better slightly but I haven’t simmed it yet
i must say that 1 ss over 2 archive is simming much better by far roughly 150 dps more
thanks
any m+ guide for rogues?
ass*
like what to do in huge aoe packs, you can only garrote like 4 mobs
unpowered garrotes do as much damage as rupture, you don't need to garrote literally everything on the planet.
gotta pad those meters though
if you have SS use the first 3 gcd to garrote enemies, then put on 4-5 ruptures, if SoB Traits 5-7
refresh CT if the dot has less than 2 secs
@wide horizon You start from stealth and garrote 3 targets. Then you use those 5 CPs for CT on all of the targets. Spam FoK for CPs and spread Ruptures to 3 to 5 of the targets (pref those who live the longest). From then on you just spam FoK and Envom the priority target and keep up Crimson Tempest. Then you will have to make an assessment whether or not you need to refresh Garrote and Rupture when they fall off on the targets that are still alive. This depends on the key, which type of mobs and how good your gear is, ofc. Garrote and Rupture also gives you a lot of energy regen, so I've found that on most packs I will have to atleast refresh Rupture on 2-3 targets. Garrote is a different story as it doesn't do anywhere near the same damage as when it is cast from Stealth with SS and Subterfuge. You can however Vanish and do those 3 Garrotes again if you want to keep pumping out a lot of dmg.
just look logs , every good rogue is using SS trait in uldir,not double dose 😄
Yeah just kill everything in 3min and cheese every encounter. 👌
^
exsang snapshots right?
Ye
hmmm
Exsanguinates takes the current haste values and doubles them for the duration of the bleeds on the current target.
That is it.
I cant find anything about the last (most inner) ring. I heard there was one that was ideal for raids but I cant find anything about it
?
The ring before the +5 ilvl. The one with things such as longstider, vamperic speed
I heard there was one that mythic raiders flat out require
I dunno about that.
Mostly because for raids you are gearing for item level while not maiming your DPS traits.
So I shouldnt even get caught up in that?
I don't think that there is anything that is flatout required.
But some are clearly better than others.
alright, thank you for your help
Sure thing.
Guys will we get nerfed pve wise in 8.1?
nice
Yes.
SS is probably going to see another nerf if I were a betting mans.
and I ain't.
maybe SS will get the sub treatment and do a completely different thing 🤷
Do you think they will nerf SS its self or Subterfuge's SS bonus?
I would have thought that changing the way an azerite trait interacts with a specific talent was a bit too confusing, but maybe they've done it for other classes
what do you mean?
like, if subterfuge provided a reduced value only to shrouded suffocation, that would be confusing, from a tooltip and understanding perspective?
sorry i meant garrote
I keep seeing you garrote x3 and not x4. why not 4? I know the 4th used to be bugged but that was fixed.
I assumed they would try to nerf subterfuges garrote dmg buff to tackle pvp if anything.
because 4th garrote is less value without subter buff
u just do other stuff that are higher prio
for raids they are usually same value
m+ there could be differences
but hard to see % in dungeon run
Exsg is just far better with ss traits in m+
can me someone explain the changes for sin with 8.1 ?
*Garrote the enemy, causing (108% of Attack power) Bleed damage over 18 sec.
Assassination (Level 42)
Silences the target for 3 sec when used from Stealth
Awards 1 combo point
It requires a melee weapon now, IE cant be used while disarmed
So essentially nothing changed for pve

hello so i've been doing a lot of looking. >.< what are the best trinks to use for Hero raiding? some say loaded dice and the water glass from SotS. but i've seen so many and still pullin great numbers. i've simed my 355 dice and looks to be about 1.1k ( no luck on ther drop for the other one yet)

so doom off the world boss is still highest >.< lol tyvm
Or swap to exsang if you're running that and get the best trinkets for that
Is one ditb 385 better than second ss 370 in raid? Simm says yes but I heard that simming ditb is a little bit tricky.
It assumes 100% behind the boss, but you can also edit your position to be "front" instead of "back"
And you'll get what it sims as when you're infront
How can I edit that? xD
Oh /simc no longer includes positions
But just type in position=front under your specc or something in the thing you copy from /simc
I‘ll try, thanks a lot!
Anyone here have advice on progression order past Zek Voz? Does everyone go to Vectis or is Fetid possible?
Fetid is possible sure
But its a lot harder than vectis
In terms of damage and healing required
the reason we are even considering it is because we will have all our big dps here this week, but we are out a main healer and having to run a backup healer
we heard Vectis was more healing intense and FD was more of a DPS race

@royal lantern clearly your DPS are more on-the-ball than some in my guild.
Yeah if you have that weakaura Vectis is a meme
@quick ice ? vectis is pretty much a patchwerk fight with a target switch every ~20sec and some light movment
Let's just say that even with the WA somehow one of our ranged groups requires constant vocal guidance on who to pass to next or bad things happen.

if that stuff happens multiple times......they should maybe dont do mythic cus its such a shit easy mechanic lol
Weirdly they're all fine on everything else
I think we've killed it enough they can handle it silently now, they just don't.
tunnelvision is a hell of a drug
happens when people only care about dps for high logs n stuff
That looks like some shady stuff

Eyo anyone have any videolinks explaining assa in m+? Looking for instruction in how to AoE properly with and without CDs thanks
Did you watch the video in the pins
Method one? Yes
P sure there was another one out there as well. Can't remember 
holla at me if you do
luxthros' guide is good, isn't?
maybe you have a specific question?
nah id just like to see how its played if you're aware of moofzy from the hunter discord has made videowalkthroughs of how he plays in m+ where he explains his choices for each pack
id prefer something close to that as possible
I just dinged my rogue and have never played rogue before
My goal is high m+ so I'll be looking through VSpeeds pov vids from his runs but he doesn't explain anything really id have to figure it out myself
for each pack?) that sounds pretty detailed. i don't believe you'll find something like that
you will not
i'd suggest starting from the beginning: talents and azerite traits
learn to play urself
coz rotation differs
with the help of guides
He explains the dungeon from start to finish pausing the vid between packs to explain choices its great really
Today we have Fragnance from our Mythic+ MDI EU team take you through how you can dominate meters as Assassination & Subtlety Rogue. Be sure to use Wowhead t...
How many targets do want rupture on? I feel like all im doing is spreading rupture at what point do i start using envenoms
I mean, you would use crimson over using envenom
Progging on mythic ghuun, any tips for cd alignment, specific traits or talents?
Would you use crimson over envenom 100% of the time?
At what point is it worth reapplying crimson over using envenom
why would you use CT over PB in fights like taloc or mother? there is 0 reason for it, adds need too stay alive for more then a couple of seconds for CT too be worth it
He was asking for m+ advice, but yeah
can anyone explain the double garrotes in the 'One or more Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blde'
You pandemic garrote to get more damage from SS
Doesnt pandemic just need 1 cast to refresh though, i dont understand the need for two casts, unless its jsut for combo pts or something.
@native dome use both
nevermind i get it now
In opener you have to cast it twice
During the fight you don't have to double it if you can pandemic whatever is already on boss
Why do you have to cast it twice
when your refresh dots early they get the extra duration
That doesn’t answer my question for why it is cast twice back to back
Because of the pandemic mechanic
Pandemic is best when you refresh at >30% duration no?
thats only to not lose dmg
You only get SS benefits from stealth, so you cast it twice to maximize garrote time
Can’t you do that by refreshing later? Lol
Well it's more than 2 seconds
Its longer than 2 seconds but yeah
Something like 6-7
yea since snapshotting is msotly gone im assuming its SS garrote > extended by 2nd garrote > 3rd garrote is back to normal dmg
Okay now I got it
cool thanks, just made a rogue for first time 2 weeks ago for zul, trying to learn it more so i dont suck ass doing 10s
do you garrote a 2nd target immediately in m+ or stil lgo for the buffed duration garrote
maybe buffed duration if its on a tough guy? that will live longer?
watch guide
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
You want to apply as many empowered garrotes as you can in m+, especially if you have SS (shrouded suffocation trait), so preferably open with 3 garrotes from stealth on 3 different targets
try to garrote 3 high hp mobs so they live long enough for the whole bleed
and if there are only 2, you can garrote twice on 1st mob and once on 2nd mob. It would be slightly more optimal to garrote target 1, garrote target 2, and then garrote target 1 again for maximum uptime/duration
Hey all, I have already Galecaller's Boon trinket, wich other one trinket is good to have, I play with exg
it depends, fathoms/harlans/deadeyes are usually good shouts
is DH supposed to do more dps than rogues in ST fights?
depends on the DH and the Rogue
?
Equal gear? According to simcraft, yes. But barely.

What are your opinions on the various trinkets ? what is best for single target and aoe? I currently use fathoms and gale callers boom for single target
But got no clue on aoe / cleave
is there an updated M+ guide anywhere?
check pins. method's guide
@native dome i would use ggg ct vanish, ggg ct, vendetta, fan of knives, rupture, exsang
CT is pretty strong especially at 8+
I've been running some sims using the dungeon fight script above, what conditions make poison bomb outperform crimson tempest? Is there a target threshold?
throw out enough ruptures to keep your energy bar up for 5 pt CT spams
why not 4 garrote?
4 garrotte seems unreliable at best depending on ping
4th garrote could be unbuffed
yup
If the packs are large enough then yes you want to vanish GGG once you can. CT spam if the pack is large enough but make sure your ruptures are up
ie. Watch Method guide
in m+ what's the next best trait outside of ss and aot?
Just did motherload +9 and now i want to kill myself. Just recently picked wow up again and this week is just pure cancer
Did an 11 the other day, wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be (even had an Enh and a Feral). Taking advantage of being able to death skip to the last 2 bosses is great on Fortified
@strange python I feel you. Did a +12 today after being out for a week and a half
Motherload was legit the worst dungeon to do this week I think
i haven't done a M+ since the hotfix on explosives getting half hp
maybe I won't feel so compelled to run outlaw on explosive week now
twist the knife any good for 3v3?
Just play PB for explosive weeks
Ct is punished really hard by spending energy on mutilates
Does anybody have a link to the weakauras that used to be pinned?

Dont play it 🤔
lol
what would be the best dps talents to run for m+
Garrote.
do only bleeds give energy regen? not poisions?
Poisoning the target with the bleeds, makes the bleed ticks give energy.
ahh okay. thank you
didnt kill mythrax yesterday 
Whats pandemic for CT?
12*0,3=3,6
hey, what 2 should i choose out of fathoms deck, dead-eye spyglasses and gale callers for raids/mythics as sin?
but refresh it at 2 seconds and u gucci @marsh bloom
@quick aurora 
but id take a wild guess and say galecallers and fathoms sims highest
unless dead-eye is 385
ok great thanks , fathoms is 60k i better farm more golds lol
oh and if dead eye was 385 would i pair it with gale or fathoms?
okies
Anyone feel like ripping apart my log and trashing me? Performed pretty mediocre and as much as id like to blame gear im certain its my play 😛 Havent played rogue in raids for a long time
whwere are the logs
I can imagine dot uptime being trash
Probably really poor use of toxic blade as i simply forget to use it
Also guessing my items arent really optimised statwise
But other than that ive really lost experience so some general pointers would be great
One of the best dps upgrades is practice and a solid set of weak auras
toxic blade yeah, you have 1 cast in phase 1
Oh yeah for sure my ui was horrible
Thats the first thing i will do get it setup better and get some weakauras
Was an alt run so figured i could gear the rogue a little :p
Question i wanna use vanish on cd with SS right?
Or save it for when adds spawn like zekvoz for example?
i'd say on cd
yu have ss?
ur opener is also wrong
and ur overwriting empowered garrote with normal ones
I think un want to pair it with vendetta. Since the first vanish is used a bit later than vendetta u’ll have to delay it for a bit. The only exception to this is when you only have time to squeeze in 1 more vendetta and delaying it would cause you to lose 1 cast
My opener is usually Garrote Muti rupture Garrote
if im quick i can fit in the 4th garrote
or does that garrote count as an out of stealth garrote?
Because then yeah im messing up the empowered garrote lol...
you have 3 casts after stealth cause GCD is always 1 second
You can't fit 4 globals in subterfuge
but do you have shrouded suffocation trait?
Might have not had it for taloc
its actually only 2 casts after stealth and 1 during
Ok so learned only 3 skills :p so i wont do that garrote anymore then
Will check the ravenholdt guide in more detail if i go on altrun again 😛
cant check right now but im fairly sure i had SS for a few bosses
if you have SS, you want to garr-rupture-garr
Ok noted
read the guide, should have lots of stuff you don't know
Also you dont want to reapply garrote for the first one out of stealth right? So you dont overwrite the empowered one?
Yeah had a few looks at the guide but really noticed in practice i was missing a lot of simple things.
you want to vanish - garr - garr
ALright cheers for the advice guys
np
Gonna work on the ui and weakauras
And reread the guide a few times :p
And practice ofc 😛

In my opinion Lokkeks is the best, because of the original cp counter. I like it more than the others
still need someone to rip logs apart?
If you enjoy doing and have time to spare sure thing
Got some pretty good advice already tho so if you dont have the time please dont waste it haha
@winter moss do u mind ripping any loggs appart or only rouge ones?
ill print them and rip apart any logs :D
just reading conversation to see if there is advice i can give
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/vD4GWmnXaJNrxBYP if ur bored and want somthing to laugh rip the demonhunters logs apart 😃
@fast gyro your rogue is an alt right
yup
Mostly play disc priest and done some shadow dps
but always loved rogue so always got one max level
But im certain the gear is pretty messy
Ass need Haste > Crit > rest right?
Roughly yes
ST yes
Emphasis roughly
just a guideline, sim tells you more about your specific statweights
Simming is probably best to see what stats i should pursue
Haha i lurk these forums a lot :p
but wild guess, haste
what do you guys prefer for M+ siming?

I like that, but I don't M+ much these days
since your rogue is an alt, i wont go to hard on it. your rings are not optimal, you need some more haste and uptimes are already mentioned
as you stated above, rereading the guide sure will help
and practice
oh yeah i did
