Solid 2-3k lower dps ?

subtle tundra
#

Last week it was also pb for me since explosives needed to die(after the 50% nerfs you could go ct if your group killed explosives)

#

Also depends on the tank and pulls

#

Small and fast pulls pb big pulls ct

#

About stats it’s beyond me

radiant sequoia
#

I guess I just don't get how much different the rotation is supposed to be with 2x DD ?

spice surge
#

Its not different

radiant sequoia
#

Does it just sustain higher deeps vs double SS?

quasi ledge
#

Rotation doesn't change, but I think the talents and opener does

spice surge
#

DD has no effect of the rotation

#

SS changes the rotation very slightly

radiant sequoia
#

Ah

#

So on single target your truly run 2 x DD vs 2x SS? Or is it a tossup ?

quasi ledge
#

Gotta sim it

spice surge
#

Use what sims the highest

hollow junco
#

that said

#

if the sim difference is very small, like 40dps or something

quasi ledge
#

I personally will always use at least 1 SS even if it's a small loss. Find it easier, will be better on more targets and cba holding multiple sets for raiding and M+

hollow junco
#

you may want to choose whatever the other trait is, because DD is dumb the moment you get into any multi-target circumstance

im here with my peasant 370 boon while my ww friend got boon 2 weeks in a row from chest and one of them titanforge to a 395 pepehands

#

good old secondary stat homeostasis. all balanced

#

Not socketing 395 gloves

#

🤔

fresh ginkgo
#

those gloves tho

glass atlas
#

i would your opinion. I finally got my hands on a azerite armor that has SS but its my shoulders and that piece is my only archive of the titans, i dont have any other trait that activates reorganization array. According to the sim using the archive of the titans yields higher damage even though it is a 360 piece and the other azerite armor with SS is 370. Do i follow the sim or do i equip the SS regardless?

#

you have toi have reorigination

#

end of story

#

its 750 secondary stats + ~240 main stat

hi, anyone know why daaagger in the baack sims better thaan ss?

echo night
#

So quick question, PB or CT in keys this week?

#

10-13 keys

#

I see Seliathan going CT with GCB trinket

stiff crag
#

Is Shrouded Suffocation or Double Dose better for ST? Bloodmallet says DD but ravenholdt.net says SS

echo night
#

Sim yourself

#

Depends on ur build and stats

stiff crag
#

Wouldn't those sites be using the same data/builds though?

normal spear
#

@echo night i believe CT is worth only if you constantly make 2pack pulls

#

But i would also like an answer from more experienced rogues here

dusky inlet
#

Depends on the dungeon

dense quest
#

kinda depends on your tank

#

for M+ I usually always go CT

#

get more value out of every pull

dusky inlet
#

I wouldn’t say every pull lol

steep matrix
#

do you guys use ss or dd in uldir ?

glass atlas
#

@round harbor ty!

echo night
#

Speedoflife is using PB this week, just played sub in atal tho

#

I guess he's changing spec rather than talents xD

fresh ginkgo
#

i been just using pb cause im bad and its easier

dusky inlet
#

Speed always switches between sin and sub

#

He was sin for their underrot attempt

echo night
#

Did he play pb then?

dusky tinsel
#

is zuldazar the only emissary cache that drops an SS trait piece?

echo night
#

Or CT?

dusky inlet
#

Yeah

#

PB

#

Kings rest also

echo night
#

fickle latch
#

Hey guys is it worth it to go for 3x Archive vs 2 arch 1 shrouded ?

dusky inlet
#

No

#

Not for m+ anyway

fickle latch
#

For Raids

dusky inlet
#

Sim it

dusky tinsel
#

wish there was an emissary cache loot table

fickle latch
#

Yve been told Raidbots sim doesnt work so good for shrouded trait dunno if its acurate or now

fresh ginkgo
#

@dusky tinsel yes thats correct

maiden forge
#

how do we use "Sharpened Blades" just use at 30stacks and 4cp?

dusky inlet
#

Pair with toxic blade

#

If talented

#

If not just save for 4cp probably

dusky tinsel
#

they should seriously open up M+ azerite gear after the hall of fame is done in CE raiding. At the least.

dusky inlet
#

Azerite vendor 8.1

dusky tinsel
#

well yeah

#

its a start, at least

dusky inlet
#

Need to toss that random cache shit though why the fuck is that even a thing

dusky tinsel
#

haven't gotten a single 385 SS trait piece yet

dusky inlet
#

Spending currency I farmed for a chance at the one I want lol

dusky tinsel
#

well at least in 8.1 I can just save up and get the piece I want

dusky inlet
#

For 3x the cost of a random item

dusky tinsel
#

still sucks for someone who pushes keys regularly

fresh ginkgo
#

first comment

dusky tinsel
#

I'm completely fine with working towards something that takes a bit longer if I get to choose

#

@fresh ginkgo thanks fam

#

Does it makes a diferent where I put my better dagger in main hand or off-hand ?

plain thistle
#

yes, higher ilvl weapon on main hand

#

off hand is just a fancy stat stick 😂

fathom wyvern
#

so do i want deadly or quick navigation on main hand?

solid nova
#

Doesn't matter

fathom wyvern
#

no?

solid nova
#

Nope, can sim the difference for yourself if you'd like to see

Its always funny when people worry about what happens at a +21.

#

if you arent playing +21, then their spec and pull strat doesnt really apply, now does it.

dusky inlet
#

The community definitely has a bad habit of trying to emulate the top players. Amplified so much by streaming now

#

whats the website for traits, like bloodmallet but better appearently

wary anchor
#

how many targets needed for fok>mut?

lone junco
#

depends on DD traits.

wary anchor
#

if shrouded

#

?

lone junco
#

its probably 3, but it is in the apl string

gentle belfry
#

@dusky inlet Nothing necessarily wrong with that. Most people just lack the skill and synergy needed to execute a lot of those pulls

lone junco
#

skill to do a giga pull of 10-15 mobs with chain stuns, and massive healer outputs.

gloomy ginkgo
#

For M+ will I get more mileage going 3x SS or 2x Ss + 1x Archive

lone junco
#

very likely 3ss

#

depends on ilvl differences.

gloomy ginkgo
#

Same ilvl

lone junco
#

I sim 6t 40s patchwerk.

gloomy ginkgo
#

Doesn’t going 3x SS drop some of my aoe on bigger pulls? (6+ mobs)

lone junco
#

@wary anchor

#

@gloomy ginkgo the g g g vanish g g g is huge.

#

it really depends on pull duration

gloomy ginkgo
#

I’ve tried simming it but pull length varies so heavily as well as cooldown availability depending on what is coming up / what we just did

lone junco
#

your garrotes are 18s. so when pulls drag out for 1min, you will favor Scent.

#

right.

gloomy ginkgo
#

Looking for advice from someone with experience at the 16+ lvl

lone junco
#

Seli uses 2scent 1ss. cause of giga pulls. I use 3ss due to pulls of 3-6t

#

4t20 is 3ss ALL DAY

gloomy ginkgo
#

It’s such a shame because different dungeons have different pull sizes, fucking reforge costs means I can’t go back and forth

#

Need a 1 size fits solution for now

wary anchor
#

can u explain the ss, bit donfused

gloomy ginkgo
#

I don’t remember if I have a scent, is that preferable to archive?

#

In that case will probably run 2x SS 1x scent

lone junco
#

@wary anchor i am reading that at fok at 3 to maintain dp on all targets, fok spam at 4, unless you have DD.

#

@gloomy ginkgo Scent is better than archive in cleave. a single rupture application is a bit less, but doesnt have ramp up time for stacks. but tabbing out a bunch of ruptures makes for a large agi bonus.

#

If you pull small, kill quick, use 3ss. if you pull big and drag for days, 1ss 2scent. if you arent sure, try 2ss 1scent.

gloomy ginkgo
#

Thank you for the advice!

peak smelt
#

If you look at tooltip it takes 2 scent buffs (ruptures) to equal 1 full archive (20 stacks). So you are only benefiting more from scent with 3+ ruptures up. Your empowered garrotes will not have 3+ ruptures up for long if it all. I can see where it can be big on loong big pulls. If you want one to use in all situations i'd stick with archive.

lone junco
#

Scent scales the CT and fok and vanish GGG.

#

i have seen up to 8stacks of scent in large pack pulls.

#

takes high crit to pick up enough CPS.

#

but when you pull big you deeps big. Scent scales, SS does not.

#

archive is a better for bosses. but we arent the pure ST bis class

do i hold my 2nd vendetta for vanish to come back up?

#

i assume only if i wont get a 3rd one in

lone junco
#

yeah. we hold 2nd to align with vanish, then they stay synced for the rest of the fight.

#

you can read the sample sequence of your specific trait /talent setup and watch the timelines for that stuff.,

#

Hi guys, i'm looking for a little bit of insight on Mythic Fetid which my guild is in the early pulls of progressing. Currently add clearing is inconsistent but we are able to do it. I'm currently at a dispute with the other Rogue in the raid group, he is using Vendetta on pull in his opener whereas myself and everyone else in the group (as asked of us by the raid leader) are saving cd's for the first set of adds, using our second pot on the second set, and cd's due to them being back up and BL on the third set. I'm curious as to what is better saving vendetta for adds or using in the opener on the boss?

#

Also, due to the spawn time of the adds I am using Exsan in the opener as it's back up for adds. 😃

marble hemlock
#

most people during earlier progression started the pull with vendetta+exsang, saved vanish+exsang for first add, vendetta+exsang 2nd add, vanish+exsang 3rd add, and then balst the boss at the end with another vendetta

#

that way you have very consistent damage on the big add (which im assuming youve been assigned to) whiel dealing strong damage to the boss aswell

burnt bolt
#

usually you time out your cds because blobs come every ~1m

#

so if you vendetta on the 1st blob, someone else needs to use a cd for the 2nd one

#

then your vendetta is up again for the 3rd

marble hemlock
#

i suppose you could save CDs on pull (except exsang), pop vendetta+vanish on 1st+3rd, and have bloodlust+pots on second one

burnt bolt
#

if ur going on 2nd blob, u vendetta boss on pull and it'll be up

fossil iron
#

alright okay. Thanks for the help guys - that clears it up nicely 😄

marble hemlock
#

ideally you run atleast 1 SS trait if youre on big add and playing exsang

fossil iron
#

i'm running 2 SS traits

marble hemlock
#

keep in midn that the boss needs to die before he heals by eating the 4th adds, so if the damage on the adds is okay-ish, you gain quite a bit of boss-dps by opening with vendetta and just staggering your CDs

radiant storm
#

Hey guys im a bit stuck i cant decide between 2 archive of the titans or 1 archive and 1 ss

sturdy python
#

Sim it and see

#

Most likely one of each will be best for you but depends on ilvl really

Yea one of each

visual quartz
#

at what point does exang sim better than TB. I always sim higher with TB

lone junco
#

ss and subterfuge

marble hemlock
#

depends on gear. theres no breakpoint or anything, its a combination of stats and azerite traits that make the sims favor each one of those talent options

lone junco
#

@visual quartz and to be honest, 2dd and archive (for me) is about 0.8% better than SS. BUUUUTTT> you will want to run SS over TB for anything that has a vanish GG>

#

take a small patchwerk loss, to be able to cleave

#

I play sin for heroic zul, and it is a clear win to play SS.

visual quartz
#

Ya ive been using one SS and like the playstyle feel alot more, havnt found multiple.

lone junco
#

when you can open g g g or even vanish into 2T garrotes, it is going to be nice.

#

this is my zul open.

#

so patchwerk says DD. fight says SS.

visual quartz
#

and thats rolling 3 piece SS?

lone junco
#

g g g rupture GC Exang into a vanish G G G .

dark crag
#

And outlaw will crush assa

lone junco
#

inb4 SUB ON ZUL Noobe

#

our warriors murder the craigs. so sub doesn t work for heroic for me.

dark crag
#

Go outlaw

lost sentinel
#

mostly want ST on zul though, outlaw is fluff damage with cleave

lone junco
#

sure.

#

same thing applies for Zek or fetid or Ghuun (i guess). if it is raw ST, then enjoy your DD. but these fights are wonky.

visual quartz
#

your open Noobe, is that 10 globals as fast as you can as well?

lost sentinel
#

I sim higher DD as well, 1ss/1archive/1dd to be precise, but (at least without raidbuffs) on target dummy I perform better with 2ss/1archive and likely because of sims not doing vanish or shadowmeld (maybe both) correctly

#

I wish you could hit target dummy with RA

#

that's a significant amount of haste missing

karmic ingot
#

@marble hemlock does your guild stick melee on big adds full time for Fetid? Mine has us kill small adds then swap. It gets the job done, but it feels awful. I spend way to much time running around ranges DPS with big circles while trying to get from one add to another and then back to the boss.

marble hemlock
#

im on big add cause im an assa

#

dh/warrior/sv dont have issues

karmic ingot
#

Gotcha.

#

I might see if we can get that changed next time then.

marble hemlock
#

i was on small adds for a few raids

#

didnt really matter, playing TB/dd/ttk for those is fine too

karmic ingot
#

I play MA/TB with DD and BB + archive.

marble hemlock
#

yeah, that works too

#

both for big and small add

karmic ingot
#

Tb feels wasteful for small adds though. By the time I get a rupture and garrote up, they often don’t live through a full TB duration.

marble hemlock
#

you dont garrote smallies, not worth the energy/gcd

#

just rupture, mut, tb, envenom mut mut envenom

karmic ingot
#

Makes sense.

marble hemlock
#

basically same way youd play vectis add

karmic ingot
#

I have fewer Vectis pulls than Fetid since my guild had him down before I joined.

#

Still trying to get good at that fight too.

dark crag
#

I played fetid with a new guild today and wasted so much potential using cds on adds

marble hemlock
#

like

#

at some point you hit the threshold of where you popping all CDs on adds loses so much boss-dps, that its not worth doing

#

so if adds dont die because you play efficiently

#

you might wanna look at other people in the raid not carrying their weight

#

if its really required, you obviously dont wanna block progress by being stubborn/greedy

#

but theres a difference between being greedy, and being efficient

#

ideally you wanna put the assa on the big add, and let them stagger CDs in their own ways, since they can keep up with WLs on both boss and add-damage that way, despite being a melee

#

so foregoing that would be huge overall loss for the raid

dark crag
#

I just did what they wanted, the boss was dead after a few tries of bad positioning

marble hemlock
#

i mean sure, dont wanna stand in the way of the raids success

#

but on a different boss you may not be able to make up for the gameplay-weaknesses of other people anymore, so the people keeping you back on fetid will have to shape up sooner or later anyway

#

so telling rogues to hold vendetta for like a minute

#

is just not very efficient

dark crag
#

Yeah, but the gear is so inflated that after succesfull killing 3rd adds the boss just dies

lone junco
#

@visual quartz prob not. I would at least wait for the exang Garrote to fall off zul.

visual quartz
#

thats more of what i was thinking, I can have 2 ss just little ilvl lose, gonna try it out

marble hemlock
#

we usually skip 3rd adds entirely now and just kill him before those

#

but obviously boss-dps is different for every grp

#

so yeah, id advise going for add-damage first, and then change your cd timings if you wipe to the boss repeatedly because the boss-dps isnt high enough

lone junco
#

yeah. we cc the hexers and just push the boss.

spice surge
#

I got tilted last raid, i had the dream pull on zul but ofc we wiped

#

Got azerokk procc in the opener and did 4 230k crits during tornado

Question: If I'm running 370 Galecallers with Exsang. If I want to try out TB, should I swap out galecallers? I will sim it tonight when i get a chance to get on, just wondering what the general consensus is

Not really, its still the best (or close to) for TB aswell

Sim it to be sure ofc, but prob not

swift ivy
#

hey guys, trying to work on my parses. Fairly new to wow but I've watched all the youtube/icyveins stuff I can. Feel like I'm misisng something quite drastic cause my ilvl parses are awful but I can't seem to think anything other than maybe a little bit of garrote up time https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/RzhDY6rJdW41x3yb/

#

if anyone can offer any advice i'd be grateful

wet condor
#

I find it really weird that logs counts orbs increased dps into the logs

#

It should exclude the orb increased damage

#

Because ppl who doesnt pick up the ord

#

Get shit logs

#

Even though their DPS is really good for a non-orb user and get compared to a orb user

smoky tulip
#

TB sims 150 DPs lower, even with other trinket options

#

Exsang SS and Gales too good

#

Anyone running DD?

sturdy python
#

In my raid set yes

normal spear
#

@swift ivy taloc: garrote/rupture uptime could be higher. feint before cudgel and continue to dps. stand in aoe during intermission and dps adds. also your opener isn't correct + i see only 1 envenom into TB. you should aim for 2

spice surge
#

Your openers (why is it different on like every fight lol?) is often very odd, check the guide in the pins for it.
Also if you really want good logs you need to use a proper pot and proper enchants

#

@swift ivy

muted jacinth
#

@swift ivy at first glance you dont have an archive or laser matrix trait so you arent getting array at all in these parses. having garrote fall off a bit here and there, exsang is also simming higher for you and on these short fights that are heroic exsang will be better i feel

spice surge
#

But yeah, garrote uptime is a really big thing, it might seem minor to have 10% less uptime but thats a lot of damage and also a lot of energy

strange python
#

@swift ivy you don't have archive of the Titans trait in the raid. That's a big one. Gonna be hard to compete with people who do have 10 stacks.

swift ivy
#

that is a good question actually, i don't have proper enchants cause i was hoping for beetter rings basically but i'll probably switch it up. I do only have 6 stacks of RA and I was hoping for a new jerkin of chimera so i didnt have to pay for azerite traits, so after Fetid I have archive

#

I dunno why my opener is different, i've practiced it on a training dummy like 500 times

#

I'll try to work on my garrote a bit, i didn't feel like I let it drop off at all but I guess I am

normal spear
#

you don't hope for a new chest. archive is a must. always

swift ivy
#

I got one

#

I forgot to change my trait before I went in and I didn't wanna make everyone wait, it worked out for me though

#

so opener+archive+garrote up time. Thanks guys

normal spear
#

and 2 envenoms into TB

swift ivy
#

in the duration of TB or before?

#

I don't understand why i'd want to use 2 before

sturdy python
#

In the duration of TB

#

To buff the envenoms

swift ivy
#

ok

sturdy python
#

With proper planning should be able to get 2 everytime

swift ivy
#

yeah i've been working on my pooling a bit and i thought I did really well this raid, was kinda disappointed with the parses but I know i've got a lot to work on

#

cheers bru

visual quartz
#

2 evertyime for sure, Im a troll with haste racial, during open can get 3 in TB

#

not sure if thats good or bad but 3 envenom during TB feels good

sly talon
#

should i cap haste on 19%?

civic palm
#

You should follow your stat weight values. If Haste is being beaten at 19% for you then look elsewhere for DPS gains from stats.

sly talon
#

oo ok raidbots hhere we go again xD

subtle tundra
#

well i use 3 envenoms during TB in opener and if they crit each deal like 50k+(without pot)

karmic ingot
#

without pot

Does not compute.

lone junco
#

That's what I thought tbh.

#

I use prolonged power for farm stuff though.

#

I cba to farm for parses.

I can’t help myself.

Also, I really don’t want to fuck with adding another key bind for prolonged power.

well im talking about the usual opener on wq mobs and random mobs..

marsh bloom
#

Do people actually think the breakpoint for haste is 25%?

civic palm
#

People?

marsh bloom
#

in the guide explains how 25% isn't a breakpint

#

and if I do 3 envenoms in my opener I'm not able to keep up EP 100%v of the time during vendetta is it worth it?

old lagoon
#

For exsanguinate, is it worth keeping a 1min CD trinket even though its not up for every exsang. do i delay ex for 15s? or just use a 2min trinket? sims are within 20dps of each other

strange python
#

3 envenoms inside first TB

#

@old lagoon check pins

oh word i somehow missed that

marsh bloom
#

even though

#

I won't have 100% uptime on EP?

#

during vendetta

strange python
#

You will though?

marsh bloom
#

I can't get 100% uptime if I use 3 env in first TB

strange python
#

But why

marsh bloom
#

I'll try with haste

strange python
#

You use the 3 envenoms in the span of 9 seconds

marsh bloom
#

then after that

I won't have 100% EP after that

#

Icy veins guide says to use TB over Exsang in m+. Does this stand true even with at least one Shrouded suffocation trait?

civic palm
#

Did they say that it did in their guide?

wide mountain
#

What do you mean?

civic palm
#

Does the guide that you read mention whether or not it is with Shrouded Suffocation or not?

wide mountain
#

No it is not specified. It says "Below are the suggested talents for Mythic+. These talents are recommended for all groups and keys at the current time."

#

And obviously TB is the selected shown talent

civic palm
#

mmm

#

Seems pretty vague.

#

At least 1x Shrouded Suffocation is clearly the choice when talking Mythic+.

#

So between Toxic Blade and Exsanguinate we just need to figure out what each does for you, and whether that's important or not.

#

EX will increase your DMG on a single target and increase your Energy Regeneration (making it easier to cast abilities)

TB will increase your DMG to a single target and that's about it.

#

TB has a lower CD for sure, but you still need good targets for it, and the energy to make use of the DMG buff from it.

wide mountain
#

Yeah I rarely find myself using envenom on m+ trash packs as there is so much to do with crimson/rupture so I doubt TB would be good

#

maybe some people use it but I don't see it being superior personally

#

Beside with my gear it only sims like 100dps above exsang

civic palm
#

It's good on bosses still, which is where Shrouded Suffocation is worse than a lot of other traits if the boss fights last a long time.

karmic ingot
#

Yeah, trying to make good use of TB on trash pulls in dungeons just feels bad. Exsanguinate is just easier to work with.

wide mountain
#

Agreed

civic palm
#

Yeah, just make sure you're not losing EX on bosses and things will be a-okay.

#

Which is hard, considering how slow M+'s go.

wide mountain
#

Another question, I have been looking at the Method Assassin/sub guide and the guy mention that there is a "bug" of some sort when doing a 4th garrote outside of subterfuge

dark token
#

this fuckin taloc parsing guild

#

rotating rogues every week

wide mountain
#

Supposedly it would unbuff the previous 3 other garrotes to do standard damage (ie not buffed by subterfuge). Has this been confirmed or fixed?

civic palm
#

aaaaaahahahaha

#

There is no 4th Garrote bug anymore.

#

Was fixed weeks ago.

dark token
#

a month pretty much

wide mountain
#

Yes that's an old video. Good to know tho

#

was it a ylajio video,

#

Yo fams, can we multi-dot on the Triad fight in Waycrest?

#

Not sure if they’re immune or if it dmg me, so never tried ☺️

lost sentinel
#

I think it buffs their damage or something I'd double check

civic palm
#

They get 99% reduction.

carmine pulsar
#

So it’s just a waste of energy/CP?

civic palm
#

If you're capping sure.

velvet kernel
#

Hey all

#

anyone want some help?

marble hemlock
#

its not really worth to multidot in sisters as assa

#

while you get more energy from ruptures ticking on more targets, you lose out on damage because youre spending CP on something else than envenom for the prio-target

#

whenever i played assa in waycrest i usually just kept garrote+rupture on maintarget, and then ruptured the sister that came up next

#

that way you can get a fast full-pandemic rupture up for exsang whenever they switch

velvet kernel
#

seli do you stream raids?

marble hemlock
#

rarely

velvet kernel
#

rip

marble hemlock
#

think i streamed the one 1 or 2 weeks ago

#

but im out on a few bosses where i dont need loot

velvet kernel
#

mhmm

#

one question, what are your opinions on rogue going in to the next raid if you dont mind? 😄

#

im assuming you have tested

marble hemlock
#

lots of council-like fights, so assa is gonna be quite good i think

#

nah, we dont do PTR testing

velvet kernel
#

its making me wanna go back lock but i wanna have one xpac where i stick to one class and see how good i can get

marble hemlock
#

rogue is always good for progression tbh

velvet kernel
#

yeah i just have rerolling problems

marble hemlock
#

cant really help with that, never felt the need to switch classes, im just in love with my rogue 😃

I simmed my rogue but its hard to believe that 380ilvl belt with 100 haste with 80 versa worth more than 375 100 haste 73 crit. I did my stat weight and sim and it says that 5ilvl and versa gives me 300+ dps. Any idea guys?

@velvet kernel rogue solved my rerolling problem. Haven’t had this much fun in an xpac in a while, and really upset I didn’t try rolling a rogue sooner

shell zealot
#

Hey guys, im having triuble dpsing on zekvoz mythic, im using sin spec with: AOT+ 2xSS, + CT. (Im doing around 14-17k, and i dont understand what im doing wrong during add phase(im not dpsing hih enough in that phase)

#

Anyone can throe a few tips, i can link logs if needed

civic palm
#

You chose SIN to AoE is your first problem.

shell zealot
#

😦 i dont have a propper Outlaw Oh

#

340..

civic palm
#

Then single target.

#

Let the bigger dicks cleave/aoe

shell zealot
#

Can u check my logs?(last nights attempts)

rare jackal
#

i did 20k on zek today

shell zealot
#

Cause i tried the firt few attempts to single target

rare jackal
#

basically, as soon as the adds spawn you want to dot the boss, the voidweaver, and about 2 of the little guys

#

then just dump dps in the weaver, then the boss

old quartz
#

complete waste of cp's

#

my bad responded to a way earlier post on accident

shell zealot
#

Vanish+ garrote 3 targets+ rupture on 2, then 4 more secs max of dos on adds( they ho down quite fast

rare jackal
#

also when switching to the adds in the back of the room, make sure to refresh dots on the boss before switching, make good use of sprint and shadowstep

civic palm
#

Yeah the total time they are alive is a thing.

#

If you can't get things rolling it's useless to try.

rare jackal
#

in my experience it depends on how hard your raid cleaves

#

sometimes its not worth dotting the smaller guys at all

#

but other times it can

shell zealot
#

This was frim last night

rare jackal
#

if you dot the caster add and the boss, then just spam fan of knives and envenom you cant go wrong

civic palm
#

Yeah we've 3 warriors and like 2 DHs, the adds die.

#

and like... an elemental shaman > _>

shell zealot
#

Same here, adds die pretty fast, prob takes 8-10 secs from them to dwindle

rare jackal
#

that being said, its probably always worth dotting one or two of the little guys during the second add phase, since cleave damage will be lower

#

because people have to dodge the void rings

civic palm
#

Yeah the second warrior wave should take longer.

rare jackal
#

aye

shell zealot
#

Aha

#

yeah we reslized that we trying to nuke the adds before surgeing d

rare jackal
#

other than that i think managing your mobility cooldowns goes a long way in maximizing dps in that fight

civic palm
#

Footpad is hilarious there if you do not have a G/F.Druid.

shell zealot
#

Nada, did u get a chance to check my logs?

rare jackal
#

looking at it right now

#

damn you almost had a 10 minute fight lol

civic palm
#

O _O

shell zealot
#

civic palm
#

checks his own shit

#

ok

rare jackal
#

mhh hard to compare , you guys take a long ass time for this boss

shell zealot
#

😦 we basically still progging on him

rare jackal
#

i know the pain

shell zealot
#

Kazzak alliance.. too fee

rare jackal
#

so yeah looking at wipe number 2

#

your garrote and rupture uptime is rather low

#

god damn it i hate how warcraftlogs forces me to check vendetta usage

civic palm
#

ha

rare jackal
#

your cooldown usage is also off, you need to keep galecaller on cooldown to line up with vendetta

#

you didnt have it up during your third and fourth vendetta

#

also you didnt use a second pot

#

it was unlucky ou had the debuff during your second burst window tho

patent topaz
#

I just play outlaw on zekvoz, less hassle

rare jackal
#

delay your fourth burst opening (vendetta/vanish/galecaller) for bloodlust and orbs

#

@shell zealot

shell zealot
#

Roger that

#

#

Tonight, so do go Ct or pb?

rare jackal
#

ct or pb?

shell zealot
#

Crimson temp or poison bomb?

rare jackal
#

poison bomb for sure

shell zealot
#

Kk

#

Thanks again bois

rare jackal
#

good luck

shell zealot
#

Oh, one more thing, i keep my first vanish for adds?

rare jackal
#

nah it throws off the timing too much

#

just use it with vendetta

#

but make sure to keep galecaller on cooldown

shell zealot
#

Basically line up all major dmg buffs

#

?

#

Throughout the fight, make sure to hold them all for BL in orb phase?

rare jackal
#

yes you want vanish galecaller and vendetta always lined up, and since you guys probably go beyond 8 minutes you will get 4 2min cooldown windows in total

#

so you have some wiggle room, and you definitely want to delay the last vendetta for lust and orbs

shell zealot
#

Copy that! Thanks again

#

Also if u can/have time/feel like it, check my mythic taloc fights, and give me a recommendation for the same mistake i do there

#

Anyhow thanks a ton!

fathom swift
#

hi, if im looking at my logs is there anything specific that's worth looking out for for assa?

ornate gazelle
#

Quick question: Do you use Sharpened Blades on 29 or 30 stacks? And as soon as you get them?

quick ice
#

@fathom swift the usual - dot uptime, CD usage

fathom swift
#

yeah keeping bleeds up and using cds isnt something i have any problem with im more wondering about stuff like maximizing elaborate planning or envenom buffs or energy pooling at specific points

winter moss
#

where those logs at

fathom swift
#

id rather just get told what stuff to look for so I can do it myself tbh, all the mythic ones are private anyway

winter moss
#

look for dot refreshes during tb

#

etc

fathom swift
#

so rupture casts with tb debuff up is bad?

#

anything else to look for?

quick ice
#

should get 2, ideally 3 envenom during tb

fathom swift
#

ok cool

#

is there anything specific I should be doing with elaborate planning or envenom buffs too?

empty quartz
#

does garrote from shadowmeld in raid empower it?

#

doesn't work on dummy, why does the sim shadowmeld garrote before 2nd exsang?

civic palm
#

Shadowmeld and Stealth are both megaPotato, and you get part of the buff from SUB and part of the buff from SS.

empty quartz
#

ah i see

#

megaPotato indeed

civic palm
#

@empty quartz sounds like it gets all of SS and none of SUB, so not so bad.

shell zealot
#

Never thought of that, free ss garrote basicaly?

civic palm
#

Right but you don't get SUB, so no triple Garrote, and no 100% empowerment.

#

Just check #tc-research , might have to scroll a bit to find all of the information.

#

But it shores up NE and Troll almost entirely.

#

and makes NE Kings of M+ unless I am forgetting some other race.

empty quartz
#

meld garrote does 500 extra damage per tick rather than just the 307 from my 340 SS

#

unless that's just normal SS tooltip potato

vast forum
#

Blizz is no stranger to potato tooltips

civic palm
#

Part of that is due to old information, most of it is due to just not being specific enough.

empty quartz
#

well it's nice to find out my meld has some use in raid

regal shadow
#

Guys, would you rather stack Laster Matrix/Archive or trust SimC when it tells you to go for Dagger in the Back and Twist the Knife instead?
Got 10 Stacks and simmed the items with the same ilvl but my guts tell me to go for the raid traits

civic palm
#

"some use"

#

DitB in SIMS assumes you are behind the target at all time.

vast forum
#

Stacking raid traits isn't that good

civic palm
#

If you cannot be 100% sure of that do not use it.

vast forum
#

But yeah, ditb is overvalued in sims

Quick question, how do we get a streamer weakauras once we subbed to his channel ?

Just subbed to fragnance's but can't get my hand on any link

civic palm

Talk to him about it, not us, also this has nothing to do with #assassination

#

I assume it's in his stream details?

hot flume
#

can't find it in the details. And yeah sorry should have been to #off-topic , my bad

civic palm
#

DM him, dunno if there are other people using his stuff or not.

winter moss

@hot flume wait for discord to sync with twitch

#

and yeah offtopic etc

no it's a channel on discord

What are the best trinkets for rogue in m+ guys?

dark token
#

#

#

spyglass is also v good

rapid flame
civic palm
#

I assume the earlier garrote is higher up on the list?

rapid flame
#

Ya it is, i'll just post a longer sequence with the usage of cd's thats got me questioning

civic palm
#

Let's see, what's the duration of Garrote when it hits EX?

#

22 seconds or so I imagine.

#

EX cast 10 seconds later, 12 seconds remain, EX halves duration, 6 seconds remain, new Garrote cast 5.1 seconds later.

#

It probably should not clip, but it's not the end of the world.

#

What's right after that?

#

btw

rapid flame
#

ehm

#

the garrote on 41 seconds is fresh

#

it's after subterfuge>vanish garrote runs out

civic palm
#

If the Garrote @ 41 seconds is not from a pandemic refresh that means it has a max duration of 18 seconds and by the time EX is hit it will last for 4 seconds.

rapid flame
#

so according to the sim it's better to exsanguinate on an 8 sec (4 with exsang) second garrote than to re-apply garrote & get pandemic & full exsang?

#

Does not seem right to me

civic palm
#

It's right if you are planning around lining up EX in the future for a larger burst sequence.

#

Delaying EX can lead to desyncing Vendetta and trinkets.

rapid flame
#

it's not delaying though, another garrout could've been cast after the rupture @50 seconds, 'delaying' the exsang by a mere 1 global but getting full value (pandemic garrote) instead of 8 second garrote

#

another garrote*

civic palm
#

I imagine an unpowered Garrote isn't worth lining too much up with, even if it's just refreshing it. This distinction is probably within a tiny difference in DPS.

civic palm
#

woopwoop

patent topaz
#

getting close to 19k myself, I just want ghuun down before the new raid comes out

dusky fulcrum
#

We're at mythrax and extending til ghuun dies, Shame i wont get a 380 helm/gloves untill we do :( all i need for complete mog

quick ice
#

mythrax has a helm?

#

though

dusky fulcrum
#

Mytrax helm is SHIT

quick ice
#

gets you the mog 😄

patent topaz
#

recleared yesterday, got mythrax down to 29%, havent killed him yet. Should go down on monday (next raid)

dusky fulcrum
#

I will be forced to trade it for sure

#

useless for rogues

quick ice
#

yeah true

#

ok for sub I guess?

#

bits still strong I think?

patent topaz
#

I use fetid chest, zul shoulders and vectis helm

dusky fulcrum
#

No fullset for me for a while

patent topaz
#

2x archive 1xss

dusky fulcrum
#

yes that was my intention aswell

#

but vectis is a POS

quick ice
#

I'm running archive, blightborne infusion, SS

dusky fulcrum
#

Never drops helm

patent topaz
#

got 390 mother dagger with socket yesterday, only took 10 kills and 10 coins

quick ice
#

because BI is better than 2nd archive

dusky fulcrum
#

i got like 6 vectis kills

#

Coin Every kill

patent topaz
#

got mine on 2nd vectis kill, now I get to chill on the bench for vectis because people need loot

dusky fulcrum
#

0rogues in my guild has vectis helm

quick ice
#

only mog piece I'm missing is the boots

#

which I traded away 😦

dusky fulcrum
#

craft them

patent topaz
#

my 2nd 385 shoulders have rezans fury and archive is better

#

also I cba to respec to the rupture trait for m+ everytime

dusky fulcrum
#

with Lw

#

@quick ice

#

LW can make legs/boots, 3rd craft has mythic mog

quick ice
#

Yeah but I'd have to drop alch/ench and I have some old recipes I'd prefer not to lose.

ornate gazelle
#

So each of my builds are really, really close to each other. Within ~50 dps of one another. What is the most practical build to raid with? SS-Exsang-Galecaller's or SS-TB-Gale or Mantle-TB-Sharpened Blades?

#

Mantle is nice because everything lines up and you don't have to worry about galecallers zone

#

idk tho

civic palm
#

What race?

next maple
#

Hi, wich stats should i use, this week in M+ (King Rest for example) with monotarget PB build ?

normal spear
#

i imagine crit/mastery as usual. even in KR you will always get 3-4 ruptures running, so energy is not a problem

bronze kelp
#

for higher boss dmg you normally raise your haste on tyranical weeks, im running with about 15% haste

amber temple
#

It's not entirely clear from the Assassination guide on Ravenholdt, but do I pop vanish and Vendetta at the same time after the opening rotation? Due to the opening Vendetta will be available the 2nd time some seconds before Vanish. Do I just hold on to vendetta for a few seconds and go Vanish > Garrote > Rup > Garrote > Vendetta?

bronze kelp
#

on which build ?

amber temple
#

Ah sorry, SS and Toxic Blade

bronze kelp
#

afaik you use vendetta "long" before the vanish

spice surge
#

Yes you hold vendetta for vanish so they line up

amber temple
#

xD

bronze kelp
#

are we speaking about the opener ?

spice surge
#

No

amber temple
#

No, 2nd set of CDs available

bronze kelp
#

ah okay

#

sorry for that ^

amber temple
#

2m past opener

bronze kelp
#

then forget what i said 😉

amber temple
#

Okay, fair enough :)

#

Thanks guys, I will vanish before Vendetta next time then :)

#

Do you have any preference about when to vanish 2nd time? Do you do it on cooldown, or wait for current Garrote to be close to expiration?

pliant orbit
#

Guys, how can i check proper rotation for mythic mythrax?

elder prairie
#

I generally use second cooldowns for a "second" opener

#

without the vanish part

radiant storm
#

Vectis helm also eludes me

spice surge
#

@amber temple You want rupture to be either in pandemic or close to falling off

#

Garrote*

amber temple
#

Pandemic?

spice surge
#

It doesnt matter much if you double SS garrote or refresh a previous garrote with pandemic to full

#

Its in the pins FAQ, what pandemic is that is

rustic forum
#

any assas rogue here with some free time who can see my simc string and help me out figuring what to run ? getting mixed results from a guildie and sismc, for m+ and raids in general that is

amber temple
#

Aha, so when you say in pandemic does that mean when the buff is still in it's extra duration, or reapply such that it enters pandemic total duration?

spice surge
#

Use topgear on raidbots

#

Yeah

#

For garrote that is 5.4 seconds

rustic forum
#

for raids i go with Patchwerk 1 boss right?

spice surge
#

Yeah, 5 mun patchwerk

#

Make sure to set the proper amount of array stacks as well

#

However many you have

amber temple
#

But @spice surge suppose you just garroted and then 6s later Vanish comes off CD. Do you vanish immediately or hold it until garrote duration is < 5.4s remaining?

dapper moat
#

U vanish

spice surge
#

Then you didnt really need to garrote earlier

dapper moat
#

Because vanish boost your already put garrottes

rustic forum
#

alright then for raids im set its just for m+ is where i get all confused since someone told me I should run exsang and CT and a diff azerite piece than the one that Raidbots give me

spice surge
#

Yes but no, as you will waste duration hiisi

#

If you refresh it at 16 seconds left you effectively waste 11.6 seconds of garrote that you spent energy on

#

But you just need some foresight, if vanish&vendetta is coming up soon set up for it beforehand

dapper moat
#

I know

amber temple
#

Will there be scenarios where Garrote expires and then you vanish shortly after?

#

you let garrote expire*

dapper moat
#

Ideal is that your garrotte is almost done

#

But

amber temple
#

Yeah, ideal :P

dapper moat
#

If u have to make it

#

For example boss dying soon

#

Then just refresh even if u have almost full garrotte on it

rustic forum
spice surge
#

!m+

prisma monolithBOT
dapper moat
#

As its still huge boost ofc

#

But uf u know that u can wait then wait

amber temple
#

Yeah. It's more a question of when you can see that current garrote will fall off before vanish cd is up

tawny sable
#

that dungeon fight script gives me stat weights heavily favoring haste. everyone says haste is lowest for m+. did i do something wrong or could haste be above agility with that script?

dapper moat
#

Yep, juu

spice surge
#

Haste is bad for aoe, a lot of the m+ script (and regular m+ as well) is bosses

#

So haste isnt worthless at all

amber temple
#

I only have haste gear since I primarily raid and I do just fine in m plus

tawny sable
#

i just didnt expect the weights to be almost the same as my boss weights

#

even in my best haste gear i'm at like 14.5% at 374ilvl

spice surge
#

Also, having stats over agility isnt unusual at all

tawny sable
#

yeah that part i know to be true

#

just stat weights for the script put me gearing for haste instead of mastery/crit which most people say is best for m+ so i thought i might be doing something wrong. 4 bosses 40 sec gives me weights closer to what is said to be better for m+

#

something wrong with the script i mean

dapper moat
#

Im just too lazy to have dungeon gears and raid gears set up.

twilit quiver
#

about that empowered garrote thing;
wouldnt it be technically better to vanish garrote right after your first garrote runs out? as you garrote twice out of stealth each time, prolonging the timer of your garrote anyway, you'd waste like 5 seconds of empowered uptime if you pandemic your opener garrote while vanishing. If you'd let it fall off and then vanish > garrote > x > garrote you'd have maximum efficiency, no?

spice surge
#

It doesnt matter if you garrote twice or not as long as you get a full garrote

tepid cedar
#

Hey guys, kinda new to rogues, is bloodmallet ok for checking general BiS trinks and gear?

spice surge

Herodamage is better

I mean even for other classes too?

I mostly just play rogue so cant really say, probably though

Cool thanks

@twilit quiver during a 5 min boss fight like Taloc. I mean when u use bl on the floor level u can do the g vanish g. Its kinda cool idea yeah

G vanish g ?

So u have a full 45-50 sec empowered garrote during vendetta

velvet kernel

G wait 5 secs

#

Vanish g

So its foolish to use V-G when u have 2 sec left from the first empo garrote?

thorny shore
#

guys its a good choice drop some mastery for haste during tyr weeks?

No

#

Well the first one would be exsang one

Or u play rn?

#

Yeah I play tb

velvet kernel
#

Well nah

like for temple of sethrallis

I see. So i have to use it precisely.
@velvet kernel u play exang?

twilit quiver
#

@thorny shore I'd do it tbh.

velvet kernel
#

Yep @worldly ledge

worldly ledge
#

And what is ur opinion, it worth nore than TB or it fits better for ur playstyle?

strange python
#

Exsang for m+ always

velvet kernel
#

I use exsang because I cba to change from m+ and it sums higher for me cause of my haste

#

@worldly ledge

worldly ledge
#

@strange python I know that exang is for M+. I was curious about raid bosses.
@velvet kernelhow much haste do y have unbuff?

spice surge
#

Its not just about haste, its about traits/trinkets n stuff

#

For raids just use what sims the highest

crisp hollow
#

DD, Archive, SS setup currently my top simming for ST with exsang

#

do you guys take TB on Mythrax?

#

debating if i even wanna sim for that setup at all

#

all other fights are short enough for exsang to pull ahead or have cleave

strange python
#

sim

#

sim

#

sim

crisp hollow
#

im asking about the fight design

#

not my personal setup

#

in regards to mythrax

strange python
#

1 talent change isn't going to change the whole fight

#

Play what sims most

crisp hollow
#

oh wow 150 damage difference between exsang and TB at 95th percentile

#

exsang it is then

strange python
#

Yeah

spice surge
#

Like if you really wanted you could prob hold exsang and use it on every add if you want 100% progress strats

#

But for parsing i dont think it matters at all

strange python
#

TB is always kind of more sustained damage

crisp hollow
#

I haven't done it on mythic yet

strange python
#

around 7.30

spice surge
#

7.30-8.30

crisp hollow
#

god damn

patent topaz
#

I play exsang and always do more then the other rogue that plays tb on mythrax

strange python
#

Yeah but they might suck

crisp hollow
#

"the plural of anecdote is not data" - some podcast I overheard in the library

patent topaz
#

think he is equally good, less experienced maybe

crisp hollow
#

but yeah WCLogs shows it may as well be a preference thing

strange python
#

TB is more used in Uldir overall

crisp hollow
#

negligible performance difference at high percentile

strange python
#

On each fight

patent topaz
#

play what you prefer for sure, I prefer exsang and galecallers

crisp hollow
#

which is weird to me

#

cuz exsang sims a lot higher patchwerk for me on earlier fights cuz so many are short

patent topaz
#

sims 50 dps more than tb for me

strange python
#

Mythic fights aren't short though

patent topaz
#

but I like exsang galecallers combo

crisp hollow
#

i kinda new TB = long, exsang =short

strange python
#

Mother and Zul is kinda short

#

Other are a bit longer

patent topaz
#

I dont play assa on either of those

strange python
#

On mother?

#

Why

patent topaz
#

I play outlul, just because

#

we cheese so theres always a ton of waiting, so just KS for adds

crisp hollow
#

taloc 3:54, mother 4:14, fetid 3:46, Zek 5:38, Vectis 5:25, Zul 3:11

#

as per my parses

patent topaz
#

we had some new people yesterday, one shot fetid, 5:03

crisp hollow
#

at 5min exsang and TB are very close for me, anything less and exsang pulls ahead

patent topaz
#

was like a milisecond on his cast

#

to eat an add

crisp hollow
#

yeah i dont have a good score on that fight because i popped vendetta thinking we'd go longer then raid lead said "actually just lust we can burn from here"

patent topaz
#

my parse on fetid is always dogshit, I have a bad spot to stand in and small adds/big add die juuust in time so my uptime on boss is low

crisp hollow
#

guild has CE, i'm 6/8 besad

#

midterms + being melee

#

maybe next week

hard cove
#

just killed fettid for the first time yesterday and i played like total garbage any tips for maximising my dps on that fight ?

#

on mythic i mean

crisp hollow
#

basically beg to be assigned the big egg

patent topaz
#

im on small add team and my dps is always shit

hard cove
#

im on the small add team too

crisp hollow
#

you can cloak as your circle is about to expand to make it not expand

hard cove
#

and died with the big circle debuff xD

#

while on my way to help out with the big add

patent topaz
#

hunters strafing all over the place with big debuff

#

💯

crisp hollow
#

i keep mixing up shroud and cloak

#

its been months

#

smh

hard cove
#

ahh i did not know that

#

i think ive fallen into a bad habbit of getting too used to the playstyle of assassination in m+ and it seems to be hindering my raid dps

#

coz im a benched raider / zul bot for my raid team as we have 5 rogues

crisp hollow
#

what changes in M+ for you?

hard cove
#

the whole play style and i run 2x SS traits and exang

#

where as in raids i run 1 ss 1 DD 1 archives

#

and use toxic blade

crisp hollow
#

you don't need to change it like that

#

obviously sim to compare but 2SS+archive

#

and exsang

#

should be fine on every fight

#

esp if it makes you perform better

hard cove
#

hmm i never considered that 😛

#

i just see most top rogues running TB even with 2x SS traits

#

so i figured it was the more stable option

#

its not that i dont know how to use TB

#

my dps parses are just dog shit in raids

#

yet in m+ i can hold 16-18k dps throughout a dungeon np

crisp hollow
#

raiding imo is a lot easier than M+, what with encounters being the same every time and whatnot

#

just a matter of knowing the fights

hard cove
#

yeh alot of the fights are still new to me xD

#

i mained tank for the first half of the expac

#

so i know all the fights down to a tee as tank spec

#

but ive barely done much raiding on rogue outside of mythic

#

think ive killed maybe 6 of the bosses in heroic

#

and the same ammount in mythic xD

#

i geared mostly through m+ lol

crisp hollow
#

i have so much less reps on each boss that i have to be satisfied with purples because i'm either benched or unavailable

#

versus last tier doing the progression and knowing it like the back of my hand

#

i have maybe 11 total pulls of Zekvoz and Fetid combined smh

hard cove
#

i have 1 purple log on mythic

#

rest are green and grey xD

crisp hollow
#

mother and fetid are strat reliant so you could probably get a pass on those

hard cove
#

we use the heroic strat for mother

crisp hollow
#

Zul is a shitshow

#

lust first room?

hard cove
#

zul we use the 5 rogue strat

#

nah we lust in room 3

#

but we send people through 2 at a time after the first group

crisp hollow
#

oh ok, I know the heroic strat as just kill Mother outright

hard cove
#

so group 1 goes through as a whole with tranq

#

then 2 at a time after that

#

then get into room 3 with mother on 40-50% hp and lust and kill her

crisp hollow
#

yeah thats pretty standard, we do it with two big groups of 5

hard cove
#

not great for dps padding

crisp hollow
#

spirit link mandatory tho

hard cove
#

but good for killing her quickly

#

yeh we dont have a resto sham

#

so we gotta use this strat xD

#

for zul i feel like our team is screwing our rogues over though

#

almost every pull we are losing 2 crawgs permanently right off the bat

#

and the first crawgs are usually dead in the first 20 secs

#

i feel like thats not meant to happen if your using the 5 rogue strat

crisp hollow
#

a guy failed his trial on tuesday for bladestorming crawgs

spice surge
#

I mean, why are you playing sub then

#

Tornado build without adds is the most miserable experience

hard cove
#

yea

spice surge
#

One spell every 4 seconds

#

Fun gameplay

hard cove
#

first night we were doing 45-50k dps

#

now we are lucky to be above 35k

#

the feeling when you shuriken storm and only get 3 combo points xD

crisp hollow
#

the first set is kinda understandable because of lust but yeah i get triggered when a couple die outside of that

#

lotta 4CP eviscerates

hard cove
#

yep

onyx raft
#

Last night the crawgs were dead 24/7

#

for me atleast

#

Feels like everyone really like killing them

crisp hollow
#

but i bring it up and the other rogue says "nah we're fine" because he already has his orange parse on that fight so fuck me lol

hard cove
#

i feel like people are like well we've killed him once now its time to cheese the aoe xD

crisp hollow
#

doesn't matter that we haven't cleanly killed Zul yet and the last phase always involves kiting

hard cove
#

ive asked our raidleader / main rogue if it feels to her like the crawgs are consistantly dying too fast and never get an answer

crisp hollow
#

just once i'd like to have perma uptime on shuriken combo and not have someone get assblasted in the soak order

#

while we're asking for things maybe prioritize dispelling the sub rogue's fear over the other dps

#

because ive walked off the edge a solid 5-6 times

hard cove
#

xD

#

thats pretty bad

#

we dont have issues with dispels tbh

#

i feel like our team is prioing dispels on rogues

#

coz they know we are more than 50% of the boss damage

crisp hollow
#

i don't talk to our healers the rest of the week if that happens

#

literally its only thing in this game that upsets me

#

when a BM hunter gets saved on zul and the spec that makes the strat viable in the first place doesn't

hard cove
#

the only thing that upsets me in the game is bad m+ groups

#

coz im primarily an m+ player who raids on the side

#

like last night a group depleted a TD 12

#

the dps looked like this me on 17k mage on 13k warrior on 11k

#

and warrior was in 2/3 of the canons

#

i was in the 3rd

crisp hollow
#

man one night i turned down the usual people i push with because a friend asked me to fill in for their rogue

quaint flare
#

U think pugs will kill mythic fetid after the changes?

strange python
#

they already do though

crisp hollow
#

i don't think sin rogue should be outdamaging frost mage and havoc demon hunter on overall, esp when both were in the 385-388 range and im 379

#

basically turned down pushing 17-18's to fail 14's for 3 hours

quaint flare
#

Most only do taloc mother tho I'm sure a couple do beyond that but It isn't the standard

strange python
#

nah people already do mythic Uldir up until Zul

#

on pugs

crisp hollow
#

dang do they do vectis without a WA?

quaint flare
#

Hmm I need to find said pugs

strange python
#

Why would you need a WA for vectis

crisp hollow
#

im in Pho, we live and die by the WA

quaint flare
hard cove
#

my guild using a wa for vectis

#

and it makes it sooo easy

strange python
#

You have DBM and BigWigs

#

that shit is enough

hard cove
#

the wa just makes the debuff easier to manage

#

like ALOT easier

strange python
#

Like spreading?

hard cove
#

yeah

strange python
#

DBM and BigWigs handle that

hard cove
#

tells you who to pass the debuff to next

#

not well enough i feel

crisp hollow
#

a lot of our WA's involve taking DBM/BigWigs data and making it more visible/streamlined

hard cove
#

the one i use has a list of the names of everyone in your group

crisp hollow
#

like a teleprompter

hard cove
#

and tells you whos next to take the debuff

strange python
#

You have 4 groups and you make sure every group has a debuff

#

Its really easy lol

crisp hollow
#

or the WA tracks who's at the lowest stacks within their group and makes a loud noise to alert them that they're next to soak

strange python
#

Only problem may be the intermission

#

But usually people that have low stacks take the debuff

crisp hollow
#

also marks them with the appropriate sign to show the group where they are if its jumbled

#

i can believe its doable without the WA but having it makes that fight comparable to Taloc

strange python
#

Yeah I don't doubt that

#

But my guild never needed it

#

I just hope next tier is better than the current one

#

I really disliked Uldir

crisp hollow
#

just gimme Nighthold melee mechanics

#

that is, zero melee mechanics

#

thanks

strange python
#

Nighthold was a dope raid

royal lantern
#

maybe make a raid that has ranged mechanics that are not only´´spread´´ and melee that are not only ´´stack now´´?

crisp hollow
#

like what the fuck were they thinking with mythrax

#

purely spacing boss

#

with important positioning

#

in a tiny room

alpine rain
#

so im noticing on logs that some rogues save Exang + Gale to use it together

#

and other use it seperate

#

pins say use seperate

crisp hollow
#

together on pull, separate on their second use, together to line up with vendetta

alpine rain
#

its it just a min max thing by using it seperate?

#

yeah thats what i thought too

solid nova
#

The pin says that as well.

alpine rain
#

I know i said that i read the pins

#

was just wondering why people would save it

quaint flare
#

@solid nova ablobwave

crisp hollow
#

are any mods NA?
