there are almost no changes to the class in 8.1
some tooltip updates and minor changes/nerf to sub rogue
definitly dead
If i use master poisoner instead of elaborate planning, since the simmed dps is very similar, it differs 0.1%, should that not make it alot safer from situational bad timings?
"idiot proof" as to say
How the hell do they even sim close for you?
EP is as "idiot proove" as mp
Question, can monks hold burst on mythic fetid for adds? I just asked a monk in our raid, hes way ahead on his dps on fetid, kinda low on adds. Something about karma, can it be helped?
i mean you can't reliably use karma to dps adds, but he can save his other CD's
I'm talking like 2.3M on fetid and 382k on corpuscle
on our last wipe
I guess it's not as bad as I think. I'm 1.92M on fetid and 600k on corpuscle
think I do around 270k per small add on average
that's some rookie numbers
they die in like 8 seconds, such a meme everyone using cd's on them 
there are 5 people on it and it dies before the cast
Do we have any Sim for the new poisoned wire?
Now you need a weapon to cast it
O_O
Ctrl + F
Rogue
is there a site or a doc where some1 found the "ideal" gears for rogue?
icy veins has a "bis list" iirc
but due to war and titanforging
you gott sim yourself
and that list is accurate? i mean icy veins guides is not the best
i have not controlled it myself but probably everything with crit haste that drops in the raid
ill check in on it
Becouse I have a 381 assa Rogue and I do way less dps than is should
You gotta do a few things to dps well
Sim yourself, practice rotation, and learn fights inside+out
in a nutshell
there are various reasons why you feel like underperformin
is the update on garrote seriously that you need a wep to cast? xD and also to the guy who asked me how MP can sim 0.1 difference as EP, i dont know? i even tried on dummy, barely noticeable
can u link something @strange python ? im no professional, but its hard to know what u define as underpreformance
if we dont have anything to look at
time to move to outlaw
i dont have weapons :c
63.70% uptime on EP
@strange python dont pay attention to me i was just talking about the changes to sin. Nothing to do with your logs.
@strange python you died in your log
you died at the end, but still
btw, I think zek voz isnt really the fight where you'd want to analyze what's wrong with your dps
you could be good and do an average log, because you got multiple times the cloud debuff, or because you needed to take an early orb during a dance phase, and you don't get CR
then on what fight should i check myself?
if you question your rotation, maybe taloc
otherwise, that's more about your ability to maximize your dps on a specific fight
I've got 69 history% log but i dont think its my characters best
you didn't use any pot on this fight
and you got targetted by the blood debuff once, on which you didn't use your cos
I think that are your most "dps impacted" mistakes
i think i used feint for those
hey, when playing CT on 6+ targets how do I start with the dots? Garrote x3 then CT or put up a few ruptures first?
CoS just removes the debuff, meaning you dont have to run away from the boss
I seek help my fellow rogues. I finally got galecaller to drop for me and now I finlly had to remove fhatoms apperently. which is fine. but now I'm wondering on when to use it with EX. do I hold my second Ex until the trinket is ready?
Nope
no
I have a 360 galecaller should i change my 375 gladiator's badge?
you should use exsang on cooldown
@strange python u should play exsg build for gcb to work at its best
and you should hold all your others cooldowns (trinkets, vendetta, vanish) for the 4th exsang
at around 2:20
U should try to Sim it cause u even have a ss trait
so ex on cd
will I use gc the moment it comes of cd instnaly agian? or line it up with 3rd ex
It's in the pins
No sweat
1 more tho, when do I vanish the first time, after my bleeds fall of I kind of assume?
Y
cheers ๐
@strange python your opener is super weird aswell, u had 1 ss trait right?
yep
garrote -> rupture -> garrote is the standard to go ffrom stealth i think, since the garrote will give u 3 CP each
i see u dont use that rotation after any vanish either
i think on your opener alone you will se a big difference from that
garrote - rupture - garrote, vendetta and toxic blades
and do the same "opener" after every vanish aswell, atleast the garrote - rupture - garrote part
Dont thank me, its from the ravenholdt assassin guide :p
Man i wish we could use the inflatable thunderfury in both hands from this anniversary shop
would look so cool
How do you feel about assa changes in 8.1?
what changes? did i miss something?
pvp assa got nerfed :C
Some traits, talents.
We have to wear weapons to garrote now, ded spec 
and they buff blindside talent, so im done
xD
but traits, i havent seen what traits they will change tbh
so i dont know if it fucks us
well the "garote nerf" is relevant only for pvp
I am bot sure that i read that correctly but they change SS trait. Is it stack with our ap and versa? That means it will be better?
"Shrouded Suffocation Garrote cast from Stealth generates 2 additional Combo Points and deals 234[234 * (1.27 * (1 + Versatility) * 1.14)] additional damage. "
and you have to wear a eapon if you wanna use garotte
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.
this will be the new garotte
yoppa said that we need use weapon for garotte but i did not read it anywhere
well u linked a text where it confirmed what yoppa said?
i dont know what is the current formula for SS, but i hope its not a nerf atleast xD
current SS is depending on item ilvl
according to wowhead
still will
well read what, point out misstakes?
"Shrouded Suffocation Garrote cast from Stealth generates 2 additional Combo Points and deals 234[234 * (1.27 * (1 + Versatility) * 1.14)] additional damage. " as i see it scales with versatility
I need second opinion if i fck up specific things
Sec
Link the logs then we'll be able to see
pretty sure its a tooltip change and it already scales with vers?
spooce according to wowhead its not scales atm with versatility
If needed
@quick ice
How to calculate the new formula? xD
We need some smart guys to calculate that
@solid nova pm me if u dont want to flood here
Shrouded Suffocation Garrote cast from Stealth generates 2 additional Combo Points and deals 234[234 * (1.27 * (1 + Versatility) * 1.14)] additional damage.
just insert your versatility
and use a calculator .D
So versa might be bis stat for m+?
if you have SS yes
I got 3 sooo i guess time to farm come versa gear
:D
@blazing forge Opener is pretty consistently off from a couple that I saw. Double Garrote to start is not a thing unless you are against multiple targets
Not even to extend duration of buffed garrote?
@blazing forge
Improvements
-Opener is wrong
-Not making efficient use of TB windows
-You're FoKing to 5 CPs (why?) Finish on 4+
-Incorrect GCB use
I mean, I stopped looking there. Please reference the guides and resources we have available
Theres a lot of basics you're not covering
Global cooldown
Do I save CDs at all on M Zek? or just normal and hope it lines up with adds that need to die right away
No, your trinket GCB.
@strange python I did but the result canโt be right xD
Oh
:D
Gatecallers
I will loom at the guides
@strong sundial how much did you get?
I mean, when the fundamental basics arent there, its hard to pick specifics mate
I see
@strange python around 400
Ok i will at the guides im guessing that will@help@with findamentals
From the method guide video they say that best single target opener is :
Garotte rupture garrote mutilate rupture vendetta ex
Car you confirm ? (With ss trait ofc)
If u got SS u can take garrote garrote rupture then garrote again
If u can pull it during subterfuge
@strange python
Ilvl 370: Garrote cast from Stealth generates 2 additional Combo Points and deals [406 * (1.27 * (1 + Versatility) * 1.14)] additional damage.
oO so actually they buff SS with a plus versa scaling?
@solid nova is there any specific points where GCB should be used? or just on cd?
It's only 1min CD, so you stack it with what you can, Vendetta, TB, Vanish. Not really much to it ๐
But it was referenced in the previous logs as it was used, then moved out of, or phase occurred, wasting it
We use the third exs with second vendetta right?
Yes, with vanish + GCB if you have
-With Exsanguinate: Do NOT hold exsang for every galecaller. Use them seperately on cooldown with the exception of the third galecaller use, which you want to delay to line up with vendetta+vanish+exsang at around 2.25
Should cover what you need as well
Its the 4th exsang but yea, what @solid nova said
When simming, my higest gear combo is coming out to be 1x archive, 1x meticulous scheming and 1x rezans fury. Should i really drop my 1x shrouded for this?
Yeah that makes sense, never thought about it that wayu
Yeah that makes a lot of sense, im simming for M Ghuun so it makes sense to go shrouded there too with that logic
Yeah i was playing hidden blades meme build for p1 prog but now in p3 im going full st with triple gutripper etc etc, still unsure on TB vs Exang though
They sim within 100 dps to eachother with my gear so i dont suppose it matters too much
i heard gutripper isnt as good as you can sim it
no idea if its true tho
but sim counts every attack as from behind
and that makes me realize
i mean dagger in the back
so ofc it doesnt matter
xD
YEah im just using it for p3 cos we are well ahead on damage in p1 and p2 anyway so its pointless to play something else
๐
but method stacked gutripper right?
Xerwo was lucky then, 3x gutripper xd
can u snipe orc racial with i.e dooms wake?
Snipe?
Iโm going to assume they mean macro together

Holding exang and galecaller too much
I should use on cd? And stack the third use ?
To combine it with vanish/ven
How do I use Galecallers Boon?
-With Toxic Blade: On cooldown
-With Exsanguinate: Do NOT hold exsang for every galecaller. Use them seperately on cooldown with the exception of the third galecaller use, which you want to delay to line up with vendetta+vanish+exsang at around 2.25
No
3rd galecaller, 4th exsang
No, its literally written above lol
4th exsang 3rd galecaller
You delay 3rd Galecallers for 4th exang.
So fourth exang comes right with vendetta and vanish, and I should delay galecaller for it
The more mastery you have the more toxic blade sims ?
So what makes each talent better ?
Which stats affect which talent more ?
Ah ok
finally starting to get the hang of doing aoe damage, now I can feel useful on more than just bosses
Guys do you recast rupture / garrote before using exang?
In pandemic ? If I have 10 seconds of garrote, for example, than I should not recast ?
As pinned:
-Pandemic this term relates to reapplying buffs/debuffs. When a debuff (like garrote) is refreshed, its remaining time (up to a cap of 30% max duration, so 18x0.3=5.4s for garrote) will be added to the new buff. Primarily used to give leeway to reapply bleeds, however can also be used to make bleeds last longer
So in that scenario as you mentioned, no.
Is 1 SS/heed worth losing 15 ilvls for over Twist the knife/OP for M+? I coudlnt find anything regarding ilvl over traits in the pinned guide. My other are 2x Double Dose / Gutripper, using TB. As a side note: Is there a more accurate method of simming for m+ than hectic add cleave?

And for M+ you'd probably be better off running SS + Exsang.
Even in tyrannical?
Depends on what kind of keys you're doing, but i'd certainly say so. Especially if its going to be your only SS trait.
They X amount of seconds you save per boss vs Minutes saved on trash ๐คท๐ผ
- Comp variances etc.
๐๐ผ
how did we come to vers being needed for garrote from these changes../
its not, pretty sure its a tooltip change
yeah
While exsang does sim better for, i just recently switched over to tb. I feel like i couldnt get the most out of exsang in many instances in m+. Sometimes i had to holt exsang too long (shrine endboss in the underworld) or just simply failed to set up it properly. With tb i feel like i have way more breathing room
Does anyone feel the same or am i just too bad
exang and GCB are both functions of energy when not aligned with the vanish//vendetta.
holding them forever is not best.
@strange python you will almost never cast any envenoms in a regular pack in m+, excluding bosses ofc
which makes tb a waste
4-5 is enough to not cast envenoms
Plus you gotta maintain ruptures
which is most packs in m+
I mean I agree with exsang >>>> tb
go try against a 4 target dummy, you can barely keep up full garrotes and full ruptures on 4 targets with barely any gcds left to spare for envemon
@solid nova so we delay 15 seconds of second vendetta to use with 4th exs, vanish and galecaller?
hello guys which is better atm and in 8.1 assa or sub?.
just lvled one played as assa
Yes @thorny shore
Play whatever you find the most fun, they're good at different things and neither is inheritly better @balmy zodiac
ty @spice surge
Do you still need three sharpened blades to be viable on multi-target?
I assume you mean shrouded, and not sharpened, but sortof, depending on how you pull
Scent is also very good though
@thorny shore Yes mate, Eleem had you covered thankfully ๐ Was driving home from work.
guys what do you say for 8.1 changes for traits ? seems like they will get bonus dmg from versa do you guys think versa will be more important at 8.1?
The scaling isn't changing. Versa is just being added to the formula on tooltips
oh I see thx for answer

@lone hamlet https://gyazo.com/6adc067903fab46e5203306e2cd33567
that screenshot doesnt say anything tbh
it doesnt say that much, but 94.66% garrote could be much better
it could be but it doesnt have to be a problem
plenty of good logs with similar uptimes
That's great, your uptime could be better.
the uptime is not a problem though, so it doesnt help
๐ฎ
at 1:17 fetid runs away, and at 1:25 again
several seconds lost
just running to the boss
and after that you get knocked back (~2 seconds lost before shadow step)
@lone hamlet
see, thats better
aaaand only 1 pot used
at least he got lucky that tanks came to the boss after it ran away, so fetid didn't run another time across the room. my tanks never do this ๐ฆ
No1 way of increasing your parse, kill Fetid before 1 minute has passed.
Too many SURV hunters on this list get that mess outta here O _O
and get more sockets.
Gameplay seems fine minus the minor downtime from a knockback.
Didn't get lucky and get close to DoT an add as well.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
just thinking: bl was on pull + he used vendetta. in this fight he would only get 1 vendetta, wouldn't it be better to used it after 50% on the boss?
Possibly.
You don't get another natural alignment of Galecaller's so there's some weirdness there.
You cast like, no fucking abilities when he dies fast.
Get better raid members lul.
get more sockets ? wtf
rogues can shadowstep to monks statues on mythic ghuun? in our raid druids can port to same statue that not in los for rogues. rogues need special positioning of these statues?
ezpz take off rings ๐
Rogues require the flagging that you are on the second floor, so you have to sprint off the ramp to get there.
Yeah like that.
thank you!
for zek'voz is it Outlaw>Sub>Assass.
If it is how big is the difference?
currently have 2 arms and 1 havoc and some mages for that burst damage sos ub with ST funnel damage I guess?
Yeah if you think that switching to OTL for the burst isn't going to outway you just doting the boss and tunneling the void weavers.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
outweigh*
sub won't do the trick
there won't be 6T always
outlaw will blow up the selithids + ok single target
if your raid doesn't need help with adds, take sin and afk tunnel zekvoz
Yeah just rupture the weaver if it dies too fast. Probably stacked anyway.
do I rupture the small adds for more energy for evisc spam or it isn't necessary?
i would rupture a few, so you get energy while they live + when they die
Yeah but, not many.
Do we still ignore envenom with Crimson Tempest at 2 targets?
ok ty
CT at 2 targets? sounds really bad
To clarify, next week is fort + sanguine, and im assuming CT has more value than bomb due to the importance of AoE in fort weeks, and the added movement from sanguine
Ideally i wont end upp at 2 targets
but i only control a third of the damage
CT is better only with many targets that live long (i.e. really big pulls during fortified)
if your group doesn't do big pulls, i wouldn't even bother with CT
depends on dung tbh,like you will never take CT for KR and if the packs are big like ML etc. you play sub.
But if it sin't KR/ToS/(sometimes UR) or some dungs on Tyran. it's always CT if you choose to play assass.
but CT on 2 targets is not worth it imo
I use it on 3+
The thing is your group should always be pulling big esp at higher keys otherwise you wonโt make timer
Like you should always aim to pull double packs in most dungeons
@topaz spoke the mizerok kit has all sorts of goodies.
will check that out thankyou!!

With SS/exsang, are people holding third exsang to line up with vendetta/vanish, or holding off vendetta to line up with 4th exsang?
4th Exsang with Vendetta and Vanish
can someone check my logs on Vectis?
Not sure what I am doing wrong tbh

๐ค
oh yea lets ignore pots xd
Wasn't an easy farm kill so didn't really use them to try to better log
and we didn't get to a point were dps needed to get the kill
Well you start the fight with 3.5 seconds of nothing as well
So as well as your choice of pots, there 2 factors already
if you mean downtime at the beginning is the boss being pulled to the middle,guess I should SS to it but don't want to complicate vector cuz it's already complicated
Tricks?
but I mean what is wrong rotation wise
You didnt line your 2nd pot up with anything either
@sick eagle our raid lead yells at us to make sure we're on vectis immediately on pull, running with until we're at markers. vector shouldn't go out until about 2 seconds or so after you're at markers i believe.
you didn't use TB in your opener
vectors start randomly anyway so it doesn't matter where you're standing until they're about to expire, so dps on pull with tricks on and run with the boss (with sprint)
Youve also got a triple mutilate in there as well.
@cinder quail yea never figured that out
I saved Tb for add so it dies fast but I guess it's better for boss since there is hero
Triple mutilate is from random evisc parry. I press it,it parries,I don't notice,so I press mutilate.
Well I see I am doing like shit,this things should help me ty vm
Yeah, your 2nd pot was questionable as well. CD usage went down hill towards the end
You vanished on its own, when Vendetta was off CD. Vendetta on its own, then after it had expired 2nd potted with GCB.
Makes no sense
New here - Don't shoot. What's GCB stand for?
GCB = galecaller's boon (trinket)
Ahh ok thank you
Also @sick eagle you only used vendetta 3x. Could fit 4x full vendettas in that kill time (lines up with vectis coming out of intermission)
and your toxic blade debuff is being used really late on the add sometimes, which causes it to die halfway through the debuff. perhaps try swapping to the add faster and have CPs ready to put an immediate rupture on it so you can start using TB earlier
what second poison do we put on our weapons ? crippling or wound?
im not talking about pvp
crippling is a must in m+
how do you decide whether to go exsanguinate or TB in m+?
You dont decide, you just go exsang
is exsang really that much better
it's easier to utilize I guess
it isnt much better
if i use Crimson Tempest as a talent in scenarios like m+, am i using it on st bosses in the instance?
no
not even if exsang is rdy?
never
ok thx
Is the BIS traits for raiding 2 Archives and 1 SS?
@radiant storm depends on the fight, ST is 2x DD and 1x archive but I can't stand the rotation w/o SS so I run 2x SS and 1x archive.
What benefit is 2 SS ? just a little more garrote dmg?
Yes
Would 2 Archives not result in more dps?
maybe, sim it on raidbots
Probably not though
My sims say that i should do more dps with dagger in the back sharpened blades and laser matrix but in actual practice i find 1 twist 1 ss and one archive resulting in more dps
i have a twist because i havent got vectis helm

hey guys, if you have 3 combo points and toxic blade is about to run out, is it better to use a weaker envenom or use mutilate and spend the combo points after?
let it run out and use 4+ CP envenom. i imagine 3 CP envenom into TB wouldn't be that big of a damage loss, but still a loss
The question is whether a 3cp envenom with TB is more valuable than a 5cp envenom without since you're guaranteed to get to 5 with that mutilate.
My guess is no.
thx fix my cleave problem
dont take posion bom for mythic plus unless raid
crimson blade does more
maybe a bit slow answer but if u do the math, the mutilate will put u on 5cp and a 3cp envenom with the toxic blade buff is roughly 78% the damage of a 5cp envenom
if im right
so should be worth casting another mutilate
Can someone look into my parses from today and pm me what to improve? I did play really poorly today but I dont know what to do to get better XD https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DzghJqVNcvR39PbQ/
hmm not bad
champz
dont tink gahuun good boss for any class amount movment there
if u cen ped it great
Well was this your second kill of the boss?
yeah
well, im not the best when it comes to reading logs, but you did most dmg in your group to raid
and if i compare your logs to rogues with similar ilvl etc~ the high loggers is better at dotting up adds
so maybe you tunnel the boss too much?
Ahh I get triggered, I always see people with 90%+ parses t-t I want that too
I see
77% of your damage is done to ghuun while if i check other rogues, 60-65% of their damage is dealt to ghuun rest to adds
so focus keeping bleeds up on adds, u might see a big difference
and as always, its practice ^^ if u did every try in one way, you got a good routine for that, so expect some trys with dotting everything up
tobias
1 qestion how to get u bleed so high dps meter like malee higher then my bleed
sould not tick for more
hes to do mastery
Well i dont know, depends on traits, uptimes, how u execute your vanishes etc, but guys im no pro so i might be wrong
degger back few top trait but i dont tink traits thet good be fair
no its not a good trait
kk, ty ๐ฌ
unless u can hit your target from behind 100%
else dagger is not as good as it can be
not always depents wat u face
sure shadow step it but still just go arch titans
mastery ? dot everting i cen
tap like mad man
mastery in what?
for bleed
mythic plus
ye
So i see a pin that says "shrouded suffocation fixed". Why does bloodmallet still show it being one of the worst traits? ๐ค Should i be using it when i can?
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
Shrouded in m+ with exsang
Check the talents and encounter bloodmallet is using to simulate, probably ST without Subterfuge, so SS is going to be low.
am I losing dmg on mythic vectis by trying to keep rupture/garrote up on boss and add at all times.
Just keep Rupture on add for normal rotation, Garrote as well if empowered.
Tunnel add if add DPS is too low, boss if add DPS is fine.
yea I'm garroting both during my vanish
alright thanks for answering, that's kind of waht I expected.
sound right that my sim is valuing overwhelming power SO highly that it wants me to take twist the knife and dagger in the back over shrouded and matrix?
what's the optimal setup for Toxic blade window? How much should you pool?
almost 100 wipes to kill mythrax, should have killed him last week
extending until we kill ghuun
we killed him in two raid days, the last hotfix nerfed him so hard
melee not getting orbs was pretty huge, we just had inconsistent pulls where everytime someone would die to beam, get sheared or double mcd
we actually killed him the 1st time we got to p3
@strange python well, around 70 nrg without burst
late, but thanks @normal spear @strange python and @topaz notch ๐
That's extremely optimistic
True.. but its 10 stacks of array
Bosses are doable within one night imo if ppl adapt fast to tactivs
We did that in one week aswell
not killing zek is basically not having killed a mythic boss
if you canโt beat the mechanics check on zek, the others will be unpleasant to say the least
We even did zul same week, so i believe
Hey guys. I'm new to both rogue and this raid tier. My guild is 2 mythic bosses down, so very casual. Tonight they are bringing me to HC, my first time in Uldir. My question is, is fatboss still a good source for tactics or is there better guides around?
as dps you donโt really need to know much. donโt get hit by stuff kill adds.
Fatboss is solid yes
It's not impossible to kill all in the same week, but i'm genuinely curious how you haven't killed zek yet
Thanks
zek isnโt a dps check anymore, itโs just a question of whether 20 people can dodge surgings, interrupt the adds, and get the roilings away
The big issue here is - if 12 weeks into uldir you haven't killed 3 mythic bosses, how do you hope to kill 3 new ones in the same week?
zul can easily go down the next night after fetid if you have a bunch of rogues prepared, but not killing zek means either your dps is VERY low or your raid is mechanically challenged, the former is a problem for fetid, the latter is kind of an issue for both fetid and vectis
there are a lot of 2/8m guilds on my server struggling
probably still more 2/8m guilds than 8/8h guilds
yeah i think so too
Im purely pugging, so at 2/8 M
Not had a chance to work in anything except zekvoz, which has not gone to well.
With the recent nerfs to Fetid I'd Imagine it would be just as difficult as Zekvoz
Should I pool energy to do more env during the effect ?
If you plan properly, pooling will be minimal, if at all
Plan what ? Refreshing dots ?
Yeah
Emphasis on pooling isnt as big as made out to be
Plan properly and you'll not have energy issues during TB to maximise envenom uptime
If you are 2/8 then you must raid 3 hours a week or something

we're 2/8 and havent raided in 6 weeks :/
So i've been running archive helm/shoulders and dagger in the back chest with subterfuge - all pieces at 385. (i messed with MA but it didn't seem to make a difference outside of better burst)
I'm simming the SS chest from fetid and it sims 300dps less but am i wrong in thinking that SS chest is the better choice? Seems like there is less RNG involved and dagger only sims that well on patchwerk fights.
is there somewhere I can see what's the number of pulls average per boss for the first kill ?
the ST sim is pretty reliably @smoky moth . you are however right, that for some encounters you may still want to get the SS chest when you get better value out of it. so if theres an add, for example on fetid, and it has a high priority and you can make good use out of vanish/exsanguinate on it, SS might be the better choice still

but for pure ST id trust the sim in that regard (unless you have to stand in front of the boss for long periods of time)
Yeah the only fight i was thinking of using dagger over SS was taloc but even then i'm not sure?
SS sims a couple hundred dps less for me but I still run it on most bosses
I just prefer subt over MA anyways
With exsang
Exsang is such a satsifying abilty to press
Compare that to tb which is just a wet little noodle
Even if it sims slightly lower I still take exsang because I prefer it
Exsang sims higher for me so im good ๐
Yeet ๐
I also have 7 sockets, which is also pretty neat
i'm not 100% sure how sims work but is TB sims based on getting x3 env in a single TB?
Nope
just two?
2 is the goal
im not sure how much the value of dagger drops if you dont have 100% uptime on the boss, but it definitely favors SS more if that happens regularly
Yea nobody likes dagger anyways
Hey quick question, does azerite traits like Twist the Knife dr if stacked?
!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.
ty
Damage stacks, anything else normally doesn't
I mean, isnt that command wrong? The other compenents can be assume to not stack
Damage always does though
Yes you're right, needs fixed
Ty
๐ Thats some fast fixing ๐
Fixed
What do yall think would be better 2 Double dose or 1 double 1 ss double sims higher but i dont know if SS would be better for add dmg
I think ddx2 is better until more than one target show up Rashathel. Make sure you sim with subterfuge if you have ss though.
is ddx2 and archivex1 best for fights like fetid, taloc?
Ddx2 arch x1 is probably the best build for almost everything
i thought SS is better for multitarget
SS is better if there are gonna be better for 2 targets
Like Seli said you might consider taking SS for adds that line up with CDs
more than 2**

same cape for the 4th week thankyou blizz
clearly they want you to take up the cape and fight crime during the night
does anyone know what happens to raiderio at the end of the season and the start of a new tier?
it resets to zero and the previous season is archived
would the previous season score be shown on the addon still?
haven't used the addon since legion bcz I don't pug, not sure
thinking about how to filter out the plebs when forming a group to farm 10s for new 415 gear when the new tier drops
press the magnifying glass button in the group finder
gives you a string to paste into raider.io
and it shows previous season's score
along with other stats etc, for all applicants at once
Man everyone had good caches while I got 380 crit mastery ring
someone has to suffer, we all cant have good caches
does crippling poison affect sanguine healing? / is it worth running over deadly?

Hey, any informations for me how to use Galecaller's Boon and any Macro?
you mean wound poison? @pale agate
not worth ever
kk. it's a huge chunk of my dmg so that makes sense

Elapsed Time: 01:50. Can someone look over my guy and tell me why my sims are so shit?
Even with 10 stacks I barely break 16k. If anyone can look over this guy and tell me the biggest upgrade would be for me at this point. Iโm deff willing to learn and take good critical criticism!
your helm and chest are pretty bad
easy upgrades to aim for are the vectis helm and fetid chest
I would sim TB it could be better for you since you don't have a GCB
Besides what famo said its basicly just get higher ilvl/sockets on more pieces
Also your ilvl sucks
I sim around 18k at 382
So youโre not really far off persay
Ilvl is a poor indication of damage
Sure it is but itโs a consistent indication
I sim 19.5k at 383
It isn't consistent at all
Do you have like 10 sockets lmao
A 370 with 385 weapons and azerire will out sim a 370 with 360 weapons and 395 off pieces
What are you referring to when you say TB @inner pecan Iโm sorry I probablyknow just canโt think of the acronym
Toxic blade
Oh fucking ay, Iโm stupid ๐๐
@jaunty crystal 7
Yeah but 12 overall ilvl is a ton of stat
I did say itโs a bad indication
But odds are 12 overall ilvl will correlate to higher damage
Mainhand ilvl is still the wildcard ๐คท
So quick question. I have the TB, m10 trinket, would that be better than the ones I have for assasination?
With triple shroud for M+, what is standard opener for Exsang / Crimson Tempest? Garrote, Garrote, Garrote, CT, Fok(4) Rup, Exang, Fok(4), Rup, Fok, CT?
things don't really work in set rotations like that, it'll depend
lets say 4 target taht like 30 seconds
-40
or is there some priorities that I can use to figure out what's best
but on huge your general goal is to get 3 ss garrotes every time, get enough Ruptures so that energy isn't an issue and then FoK/CT spam
that's the ez part the hard part is how to incorporate CT
get it rolling either as your 1st spender or 2nd spender
like spam CT, keep CT debuff up?
you can spam it if you have enough energy and there's a lot of targets
You'll generally need about 4 Ruptures out to spam it comfortably though
But it depends how long things live, if there's a prio target etc
Things that die quick favor CT spam, things that live long favor Rupture multi-dot
KK, these items will actually help โค
Would it be acceptable to use rupture as 1st / exang when strong target on 4ish mobs then spam 2-3 CT then back to rupturing
on 4 i'd probably do Rupture on 1st, Exsg, then CT, then spread Ruptures on all, then go back to CT while maintaining your Ruptures
at that point ignore garrotes unless you vanish to empower
same general idea but instead of throwing out CTs you can throw out Envenoms
you can maintain CT dot but it's not huge prio
uuh anyone here using details know how to not show enemy mobs dps in dungeons? ._.
You mustve changed data tabs
Right click the bar above the first dps bar
You'll get all the choices @obtuse ruin
its like this https://i.imgur.com/VAaFA0I.png im in the damage done tab
Oh. Strange
well reinstalling worked
Sometimes you just gotta turn it off and turn it on again...
In Uldir, on most of the bosses like Fetid, Mythrax, e.t.c., would I want 2 double dose or shrouded suffocation, if same ilvl?
as in single target bosses
for ST dd is better, but i wouldn't really go out of my way to farm DD traits as, well, they are kind of hard to farm
if they are same ilvl or better than the pieces with SS then go ahead then
just note DD relies a little more on boss uptime
gotcha
I swapped out my DD back to SS cause DD barely sims higher and as NE I get an extra SS empowered garotte due to shadowmeld
Shadowmeld?
yeah, NE racial
nelf racial
I've always been nelf ๐
Horde tho, so I didnt have an option for nelf :p
i like SS more personally because of the CPs on the opener
I got trolled today in my chest, I got a SS chest piece but it was on my DH... and a third shoulder piece on my rogue
can't wait for 8.1, main complaint is that azerite is too rng in m+
i have 2 secondaries that sim close to each other. unstable flames and heed. which would you guys take
unstable flames- crit feels spicy
they're both pretty good, one can ramp up and the other hits harder faster I'd imagine...
for raids i'd go unstable I think, for M+ I'd go heed
unless u rly need crit for M+
which is a good stat tbf
so I'd go either ๐
alrigiht
Construct Overcharger outsimming my other trinkets but it feels bad :x
shadowmeld applies emp garrote?
Only the SS bonus damage, not subterfuge
unstable > heed for m+ imo cause crit is so good for CP generation with fan (and heed aoe is tiny)
So a little bit, but not overly much
Is ravenholdt up to date for sin?
Yes
I've had some people telling me I need to stop running SS in raid. They said its been shit for like a month, is this true?
i dont like how we need to carry separate gear sets for ST/aoe situations, we cant be optimal at both ๐ฆ
SS is still pretty good for ST, just not as op anymore as it used to be
Why does nobody do the Wowanalyzer for sin ๐ญ
Does anyone know how to custom sim your toon? Like compare dmg spikes in kidney shots. Iโd like to set custom rotations in pvp, particularly dmg done inside kidney shots to compare ex against TB
so for ne racial that only works for m+s and everything but raids correct?
It works for raids too, it just lets you apply garrote with ss damage and extra cps
Doesn't benefit from subterfugr talent
How is Shadowmeld for M+ trash? Is it pretty good for SMโ>stealth then garrotes on trash?
it helps but it's not as strong as you'd think because it's only enabling shrouded suffocation, not subterfuge
meaning you get ONE additional empowered garrote, and it is not as empowered as the first three from your opener out of actual stealth
Sorry i meant SM then go into stealth before reopening with garrotes again
For M+ trash packs as I know you canโt do that on raid bosses?
In legion it worked, sm stealth reopen
What about BFA?
I don't know, i am no ne since antorus
does feint work on ground effects like sanguine or the green shit in AD?
very rarely is there an aoe on the ground that doesnt count as aoe damage.
great, i wasn't sure if stuff on the ground in general would count
Thats the next thing we get nerfed in, only instant onehit aoes get reduced by feint
oh no. just started this rogue, guess i can enjoy it while it lasts
apparently i missed the days of 100% feint uptime as well
It was a joke
ah good lol
You missed the no cd and low energy cost times
Sub rogue wod pvp setboni was triggered by feint
900 versa or something
fuck.
Is overwhelming power any good for m+? It sims highest but idk if it's worth it due to the damage you take from trash
hi
can someone tell me a good opener with toxic blade with shrouded suffocation?
!opener
!options

wut? haha
oh yes I see
it has all the potential azerite/talent combinations and the respective opener
thank you sir!
Garr rup garr vend muti rup muti 3-4cp tb env muti -4-5cp env
But if u are quick enough and pure st fight garr rup vendetta garr muti rup muti 3-4cp tb env muti env muti env
Theres no tb in that opener you wrote..
Wtf why vend before multi rupt?
No need to rupture twice either

What is urs?
Depends on traits/talents
with this you get 3 envenoms in tb
if i get lucky with crits i can get 60k+ each
@worldly ledge damage increase from Vendatta only applies to the target itโs not an overall damage increase so vendetta and then apply multi rupts makes absolutely no sense
So I shouldnt apply rup for the full 31 sec before vendetta? Ill try this tomorrow. That gar rup gar vend tb env.
Openers based on traits/talents are here
Please do read them as both examples you gave were incorrect
I read it. I just dont understand why i believed that is good + i dont know than why I am the highest dps in almost all fights. I look forward for that guys thank you for helping me!
@worldly ledge you do have to keep rup up time, so it will be gar,rup,gar,vend,tb,env(you should be able to fit in 3env during that TB) then apply a fresh rupt after that before it runs out
Practice on dummy
@stable pine thanks a lot. :) Tomorrow ill have time for partice!
Is doom wake better than a 355 Harlanโs loaded dice with a socket and a fathoms?
Trinket. Bloodmallet is telling me itโs one of the best trinkets, I simmed the trinket, and it says no upgrade?
my friend just got a titanforged dooms wake
im qutting this fucking game
he's a god damn enhancement shaman
Just get tforged Galecaller's ๐
mythic 10?
@fading vigil Sockets can be worth 15ilvls, if not more. Fathoms has simmed well all tier and will continue to do so.
The sim is accurate
Serious question. Iโm trying to be better. So a 370 dooms wake would not be an upgrade @solid nova ? Iโm still learning a lot on my rogue bro.
Quite possibly not. If you've simmed it correctly, it'll be accurate mate
Bloodmallet has generic weights, where as raidbots sims will take into account your toons stat weights etc.
what do you think guys. m+ with 2 x SS. 3rd : archive or double dose. both same ilvl. No option for a 3rd SS sadly.
double dose is better outside of uldir
Do we need 3 SS? I always have one (i dont even have more) as I like the dot dmg but espec the bonus combo pts
Others are double dose and archive for me
3 SS is for M+
2xSS and 1 archive is p nice if you're chain pulling trash
Why would u chain pull if u have SS
It's more about not letting Archive get under like, 15 stacks.
@cosmic forge Go with archive, dont listen to Seran he doesn't know what he's talking about
Yeah, wrong phrasing. Should have said "keep time b/w packs low"
Obv should be able to get out of combat to restealth
yea archive is def better for m+
haha thanks gents
Hey guys, Iโve simmed but hard to account for lots of movement in Uldir. 370 Galecallers + exsang sims about 150 dps higher than a 385 construct + tb. You think galecallers is worth it if you mainly only get it in for snapshotting exsang? I think I miss out on prob about 50% of uptime on the haste buff for various reasons on most bosses
I'd suggest going with Construc + TB, it's much much easier to use.
Well, more like, it's harder to fuck-up compared to GCB + Exsang. In the end if you dont play the first talent/trinket combo perfectly, you'll end up losing way more dps
Yeah that makes sense. Thanks Tess

prolly 1x SS and 1x DD on mythic Mythrax over 2x DD? Similar sim results really
Haste proc mods, like gale callers, snapshots dots?
is 370 Doom's Wake behind Fathoms?
bloodmallet vs sims, sims puts it on top
Fathoms, that is
raidbots will always be more accurate than bloodmallet
/sigh ... I thought I was finally rid of this thing
is that bug still around, that after the 3 SS garottes, any new garrote will reset the damage boost on all?
Nope
good to safely do that 4th garrote then, nice

do i refresh garrote and rapture before exsg, or what is the magical uptime left on Dots to use exsg?
Refresh garrote if its in pandemic, rupture if its below 20s
Otherwise just go, dont delay exsang
thank you
Iafyer the buff to contract over charger, is it worth having now?
Not really but maybe depending on what you have, herodamage is updated
Is it panda and troll that sims higher at 380 will?
Add phase as in when the add spawn, or intermission?
But typically you save for when the add spawn
when using crimson tempest for m+ u never use it with less then 3 enemies? not even on boss right
Only on 3+
@spice surge I'm just wondering if I can use it every time small adds come out, or if I wait for the big add to vanish after opener
I'll probably know once we pull but idk
The weapon spawn (the add during not intermission) lines up with first vanish
It spawns at like 16s
okay, dope
I just wanna put garrote on all the small adds but I'm getting the impression using vanishes on every other weapon is better
for actual progression of the fight
lol
All the small adds? You mean the visions?
Eleem ok so besides reapplying dots just envenom right?
yeah lol
They should be stacked and just instadie from cleave
If you stand ontop of a rock
All will spawn stacked
Im sure you can find a video of the exact location of the rock if you look
Yeah loti
yeah we're having the portal put there
I thought they might live a bit longer cuz mythic

how many vendettas do you guys get on mythic tal?
@quaint pewter if you dont want to use raidbots or simc just guess.
feels like a crafted trinket 355 should not beat a 375. so just go with your gut.
im probably a little late, but @worldly ledge dont do this.
very silly.
RIP Poisoned wire. I actually wanted that to be a thing. They could have bumped it into play.
I love some quality mut crit.
The damage of the new vendetta trait is pretty lackluster too
ugh
And unless the extra energy amplifies venomous wounds, its prob not gonna be too great. (It apparently gives you 20% more energy regen, rather than 2 per second)
Is 3x SS still the best for Mut ?
in M+ it is best.
For Mythic Uldir what is ideal for azerite
All specs are good. Specific ones shine in specific areas.

Appreciate it
@lone junco Seli was talking about some sweet 3x scent with nightsalker+deeper+CT for long lived sustained m+
yeah., He has the biggest eggplant though
if you are pulling the 6-60 packs that last way way too long.
most ive ever seen him get was like 8x buff.
Yeah most people arent gonna play at a level where things live that long ๐
but it held 42k for like 30 sec.
8 times 400 is a lot of agi
and you need fat crit to 4+ cps each fok.
Yeah you need massive crit for it
that being said. 1ss 2scent is what I would enjoy playing
That build wont ever be viable for lower pugs
Some times I do 2ss 1scent. cause it is more fun to tab rupture and feel like Im doing something
hey guys on assassination APL, toxic blade on cooldown even if you have max cp. is that one of a few rare times where wasting CP is acceptable?
wowza
and getting into a tb window with 0 cp is also bad
real answer is plan better
^
@rugged jetty about 2
dont do the 3cp mut with TB soon.
err from my understanding i was holding tb for the mut w/ 5cp, but the additional award was considered waste on wowanalyzer
not doing the 3cp mut haha
if you dont cap E, then just wait a second.
mashing mut is not in your best interest
it does shit for damage and low crit rates. So if you can let your e fill up prior to the tb, then do that.
but we see logs all the time of 4 mut in a row.
so people do all sorts of dumb shit.
just so I don't feel dumb, 4pt envenoms are ok unless garrote / TB coming up soon?
Yes
4/5 are both fine. never mut on 4 is the basic rule.
good log content here.
quality parse
crucial kidney shot
Definitely a wipe saving kidney
Kidney is pretty damage neutral compared to envenom though, assuming the target can be stunned ofc
(and you have internal bleeding)
whats the trick for mythic vectis
Im taking alot of dmg
im trying to stay spread out
Stay in your group until you have 6 stacks, then spead for aoe and stay in your group again
the whole raid spreads
why?
@spice surge
does each group spread
or everyone
im taking alot of dmg i had 5 stacks
What? Why would your group need to spread?
Yes when he does the aoe and you have 6+ stacks
is it the whole raid or just a group
The people with 6 stacks
Looking through logs, it seems some people hold exang for galecallers and other spam on cooldown
Is their a solid answer on which strategy is correct?
Are you looking at vectis logs?
Yeah, vectis and fetid
My dps seems garbage on vectis and trying to figure out why
Because you will never get 3 exsangs in on vectis anyway
As he transitions after 1.25ish
is extang better now i been using tb
Follow your sims
Exang parses better for me, so I use it
is there a wa for m vectis
that shows people with 6 stacks
so they kno to spread
Yes
poison bomb or hidden blades for zul?
respec
Yeah, sub for zul
I would, but my sub stats are garbage atm only 1 set of gear
If its mythic go sub, for HC prob pb as adds just die instantly
doesn't matter, you'll do fine
nope, that's for keeping stacks spread
