i cant find it
this weakaura knows when the peoipleee who have 6 stacks
and it lets us kno when we are safe ?
it does both ?
It's only for you
let's you know if your stacks are going to cause an aoe, and then does a range check to make sure no one is close
so it only lights up when u need to move or spread correct
it dont stay red or green the whole time does it

The link to the Dungeon fight script is no longer working?
wow.. nice.. lol.. thanks for info
for ghuun, can rogues only shadow step up the side to a person or can we shadowstep to monk statues?
I'm slightly confused.. The "fight_style=DungeonSlice" script for M+ is suppose to provide DPS for trash packs leading up to a boss? it shows that the fight length is for 360 seconds
Pretty sure it is boss first, then a few waves of trash.
you can check the timings in the sample sequence.
@patent jetty https://gyazo.com/30748bf3b49412f9b3d7cd8a2c944368
Otherwise no, it doesn't work
If you don't do it exactly like this, you can't shadowstep the statue
Hey guys I'm parsing terribly in uldir and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some pointers or maybe tell me some of the stuff I'm doing wrong?
Thanks @lone junco
they made me go warlock
:\
and I done fucked up and did top damage
so now I'm gonna be stuck
so Mythic vectis is same as heroic only difference is we needs to spread during contagion the people who have more then 6+ stacks ?
no
do we need a certain order per group to drop the vector on a specific person
sort of
You need to organize the spreading of vector otherwise things become impossible quickly.
wat i mean is cant people stack in there specific group to drop vector
then just people who have 6+ stacks split when needed
ok so then each group needs a specifc order then like jon passes to bob then bob to tom
like that
i thought it can be passed naturallys just by stacking in your group
I wouldn't say you need an order, as things can get messy in the transitions.
The group needs to be aware of the current stacks on everyone else in the group, and move to soak vector if they are the lowest in the group.
The WA linked above assist with this.
there's a WA that picks whoever has the least stacks I think
or you can just use your head and see who has the least stacks 😛
GL
Either way...
If the RL is in Group 1 YOU can still use it.
not using a trivializing WA makes you a dumb idiot and you can suck it
signed, Real American
If nothing else you should use whatever information you can to make better informed decisions.
yeah make sure you get that in the screenshot too
@austere scarab dont be an asshole.
Make no mention that you are using a fucking LISTING WA and if they ask just say you are looking at the groups.
i just dont see why we cant do it like heroic n just spread with 6+ stacks
r u being sarcastic ?
like passing the vecto to a specific person is making it so we cant get full dps uptime on boss n adds because we gotta keep chasing people
Nah should be fine so long everyone is paying attention
i gotta keep chasing a specific person just to drop off my vector
uh
you should have 4 stack points
2 for melee so they never have to come off boss, 2 for ranged
ranged has a step-out point where both people go, takes less than a GCD to move
melee just shuffles slightly together
If the groups are close enough the melee can move to soak without leaving melee range.
fathoms or mythic construct
Sim it to see
bloodmallet says same dps
raidbots says 100 dps more with construct, was wondering if there is any in use prefrence. As opposed to sims.

Daaamn... I still rock one 340 and one 345... Rng is not good to me...
Good luck to my EU Rogue bros with the cache soon 😃
small adds on Zek'voz, is that just a fan of knives thing but dont apply your other dots or is it worth it to hit some with garrote or rupture
Everyone knows the mother dagger doesn't actually exist. If it did, surely I would see it drop / bonus roll in the past almost 3 months @cobalt gyro
🤔
If you are playing Assa, you shouldn't care too much about those. @sage prairie
Play to your strengths
makes sense. do I still hit fan of knives or just ignore and keep mutilating zek?
its good to get 1/3 extra ruptures (even if just 2-3 cp ones)
to get more energy for the big add
Remember - ruptures always deal the same damage - more CP just increase the duration
😂 fuck off xD
I got a mother dagger with a socket tonight. Unfortunately no war/titan forge so it's just 385 😦
still nice
you know what doesn't exist? zul shoulders
8 kills with 4-6 rogues a kill, i coin it every week
still none
lol
ive gotten that fucking cape 5x
Guys, could You please give me some ghuun tips ?
cries in 370 daggers after 3 months @crude bay
Almost as bad as WoD, when I didn't get the tier gloves from Socrethar mythic for 3 months, so i had to roll with 3 set
Yeah, zul shoulders are a myth
We had 4 sets our 1st kill, all the alt rogues got them. Thankfully I did too.
One of our rogues got the zul shoulders tonight. I didn’t tho, even with a bonus roll.
My guild has seen 3 vectis helms from 5 kills, 2 fetid chests from 3 kills and 0 zul shoulders from 1 kill (10 leather in grp)
We gud on azerite
i got gold tasseled epaulets so not sure i need zul shoulders
I don't need them either for any of my main azerite combinations
But having archive on shoulder could prove useful at some point
For example i have chest and helm with first dance but no shoulder
the best chest is cephalohide right?
I think DitB is overrated personally
worth taking a chest piece with double dose even if it has no overwhelming?
would you guys play with master assasin and toxic blade if it would sim 100 dps higher than exsan?
TB yes, MA no, it feels awkward to use in my opinion
MA is nice when you actually get both mut crits so you can env-mut-env properly
otherwise it feels wonky
i would play tb over exsang even if it simmed lower tbh
lucky you 
i feel like i have to be missing something cause i feel like my sim is really low https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kjez3vcXarj51d791s7Qh2
it won't do heaps, but you could get the 40 haste gem to replace that 30, and upgrade to the 37stat ring enchants?
probably add 50-75DPS?
yea only reason i used the cheapo one was the gems were like 2.5k when i got that ring
fair enough
the diff is like 30 dps. so meh
are there any decent addons that will help me with my rotation? im mega noob :]
guide link?

Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
When I see people's sims and they have 7 sockets 🤢
Some people have more 😄
Not that lucky then
ghuun progress tonite, hope the nerfs made it easy, dont want to spend 3 weeks on one boss
@sage ruin M+, SS. Raids, The second option.
You can check the stacking charts and see that SS loses value the more you have.
You need 1 Archive trait for this raid tier, and in M+ at least 1 Scent and 1 Shrouded Suffocation.
@sage ruin Your post was bot filtered so just adapt your language going forward ty.
How do I adapt my language? de fuk meng?

I enjoy that the blob gets sick 👍
are you supposed to poison knife if at 4 combo points and never envenom on 4 combo points?
SIN GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ FAQ IN PINS-->
For running m+, is blightborne infusion worth using? As in 1scent, 1SS and 1Blight?
blight isn't bad
as with most gear-related questions, it depends on what it competes with
It competes with a 345 SS pretty much. Havent gotten much luck with azerite pieces
Oh, and the blight piece is 385, forgot to say
does cloak work on malignant growths p3 ghuun?
Hello there ! just got a second Shrouded Suffocation today, should i keep both talents or double titans archive is a better choice ?
@winter warren Hekili is not perfect but enough for bout 80s logs if you use ur brain as well 😄
@upper burrow I run with x2 SS, x1 Archive and exsang. Seems to be working good
I currently run 1 DD 1 SS 1 Archive in Raid environment - feels pretty good
@strange python same here, but DD is 70 when my new SS is 85
@upper burrow 
@strange python ok i'll try like this frist thanls, exsang really is a better choice than Toxic blade ?
I sim 18.5k with exsang and around 18kish with tb so I have never run with it.
I have 360ilvl and I legit only did 6k damage vs heroic zul. I'm following all the guides properly. I swear I'm just LOW IQ or something
Time to commit sodoku
well when u need a huge burstwindow - devourer adds- then exsang can help to squeeze. otherwise i feel TB a smother rota
With 2x ss should be exsang better than toxic blade but 
no reason to swap when u feel comfy with exsang and it sims better
I already simmed it, but others players feedback can also be helpful
i sim about 200 dps diffrence in favor for exsang but only play it on m Fetid
I feel the same way as Dartfall, x2 SS = exsang better controlled burst
But if you are not used to playing with exsang, you'll have to put in some time on a dummy to make it pop
@winter warren then Try Hekili, it will allow you to get insight in the rota
Just make sure you refresh within the pandemic window be4 exsang
Yeah I'll check it out thanks hekili
I feel like the possibly gain of exsang is hard to get when toxic blade on CD is not a big loss of damage
Just check some logs replays and then train on dummy

Hi is it better to run 3 SS or 2 SS 1 archive for M+?
ty
Got a 385er chest with ruinous bold and fan of blades trait. Currently using a 345 ss chest. Are the 200 agi more worth playing with a shit trait?
you can sim it
if i get the pin right, it doesnt matter which enchant i put on main and which on off hand, am i right?
Right
thanks was jsut crazy, that everyone has deadly on main and quick on off. not the other way around 😄

Hell yea just got a socket 370 doom's wake
Gz
guys I feel naked without SS on my sim
but its sim better than anything else
testing right now in HC, it works pretty well
should I play without SS at all ?
SS isn’t mandatory
SS isn't necessary. Depending on gear no SS and TB is highest sim for people. Admittedly I greatly prefer the opener with SS and I'm glad my traits work out with an SS as my highest sim
Is ss better than DD, feels so trash but sims higher
Y
I feel the same,
Its trash by the feeling, but honestly im doing good without
@old escarp link your sim pls
I've seen quite a few variants of the SS+exang opener, depending on where vendetta is placed - e.g. garrote rup garrote vendetta .. , garrote rup garrote mut vendetta ... , and even garrote rup garrote mut rup vendetta. Where do you guys vendetta, is there a best place?
check guide in the pins
now thanks to weekly chest i could go 2x Double Dose and 1x Archive of the Titans but since overwhelming power sims so absurdly high i have to keep it 1x Double Dose 

Not bad
somone needs a flashpowder hoodwith ilvl 385? got it 4x now
Think so yeah lol, people won't like you much over there
why
Was a joke, he's gotten 4 385 DS helms
Poison bomb feels like ass this week 😦
Whats the optimal way to play with Galecallers? Got a 385 from my weekly, but I always feel like not playing it right. Do I delay Exsan for it and only cast it once a minute, every other time with vendetta?
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
As pinned
Hmm, is 2.25 2 min 25 sec or 2 min 15 sec?
2m 25s
You cant do it at 2m15s unless you exsang exactly on pull
(without any dots up, ie a wasted cast)
Yes you vanish garrote for that 2:25
Thats not what I mean, some people use vanish to have a second empowered garrote during vendetta in the opening
Some people DONT do that? 🤔
well, if I have adds coming up that need multidotting yeah I dont
i assume they do it to get an additional vanish cast over the fight, but its hard to say
I mean if you delay vendetta anyways because of exsan then vanish is ready by then anyways
and for the 2.25. the best way of saying would be 135 seconds after first exsan, or around 145 seconds into the fight
You want vendetta and vanish to line up, which is why this delay is basicly only worth after the opener
Nah, I've just edited it to 2:25
It doesnt matter
Lol
to me clarity matters lol
Fair enough, to me 2:25 is fine
How come Master assassin is the default on herodamage? I have hardly seen anyone play with it, and logs aren't showing any lead either
It sims higher with the default profile
It used to sim like 0.1% better for me with specific stats, but its a really small niche
hmm, so the twist the knife piece sims better than running shrouded + subterfuge?
thats very unexpected to me
The twist the knife piece has overwhelming power, the ss one doesnt
Default profile is just all uldir gear
I guess I'll need to stick to simming myself even for trinkets then
tfw u cant delay boon because its only 12:30 😦
2 hours from now though my burst is gunna be siiiiick
Damn, no one wants my rogue in raids :d
hygiene matters
Hey guys, if I have Galecallers and specced into TB, when do I use my first Galecallers? At pull before I put up my dots, or after dots are up?
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 (This means 2 minutes and 25 seconds)
OK so before, gottcha, ty

anyone mind having a look at my mythic logs
and telling me wtf im doing wrong
?
@velvet kernel Any boss in particular?
Most of them if you dont mind
im just not good at picking out the thing i do wrong
things*
and on mythic i feel likei could do much better
hi guys, just a quick question? i have head 385 double dose , shoulder 370 ss and chest archive , and got now 385 double dose shoulders , should i replace em?
asking for uldir , in m+ im running ss anyway
Replace
ok ty , for any boss?
i think it depends? cause i like the SS on vectis to push third add
its not really goingto make him do more dps
my group is 3/8 and we're skipping fetid and went zek because 8 melee LOL
we skipped aswell
@velvet kernel You're delaying exsang way too much most of the time, so they dont line up at 2:25 for vanish+vendetta
i raid with 2x 390 SS and don't use Exsang, am i a bad person? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/bloodhoof/symmetry
Or you delay it even more so it does line up
and on vectis its ok to delay exsang for galecaller, as you only get 2 exsangs per phase anyway
ok
But you used exsang like 3 seconds before gale was ready
Ideally you should get one exsang in the opener, then one at 50ish, then another at 1:35 and then the one that line up with vendetta+vanish at 2:25ish
on the vectis?
ok thanks
@stuck flax Surely exsang sims a lot higher with that setup lmao
Some bosses had a little bit low uptimes, but not too bad
Yea Mother and Fetid youre dot uptimes were low
You had like 88-90%, whereas you should try to have like 96-98%
But thats an easy fix Mother just redot just before your called to move
Ah okay in my group we have rogues go last by default so i just assumed it was the same for you
@spice surge yes but lazy https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2C73JP6tJEMSm6WRBdVRoH
But fetid youre on big add so just tab over and maintain garrote/rupture every few globals
At least it looks like youre on big add
Based on dmg done
yeah
i try but sometimes we dont have damage on big add
so
scared to use globals on boss
imagine not being allowed to stay on fetid 100% when he hits half hp. Why even live?
yeah that's my life as one of 8 melee
I don't get to stay on him either i was just joking around. 😦
on a few kills i've sat back and thrown poisoned knives from the other side of a wall of paroxysms

Hey guys. So, if my rupture and garrote are at like 50% of their duration remaining and exsang comes off cd do I refresh them and exsang or do I wait for my dots to get in pandemic range and then refreshing and exsang?
Still pretty new to rogue :)
refresh and exang
Is exang better now?
Depends on traits and situation
Understood.
@stuck flax damn those are some saucy parse
i also like playing tb, hate how exsang feels 😦
just to piggyback when you exsang, do you let the bleeds expire full before refresh?
I'm actually the exact opposite @fresh ginkgo
I'm running TB because it sims higher atm, but I love exang gameplay
Semi fresh 120 rogue here, how do I figure between exsang or toxic blade, never used toxic blade since I didn't want to add to my 3 button rotation yet without understanding what it does
exsang is ike one of the few things you actually get to manage well or poorly this patch
@cunning fiber Refresh rupture if its below 20 seconds and garrote only if in pandemic
playing tb is supersnooze
Thats how I feel Nameless
Exsang for m+, for raid sim it
good thing theyre not too far apart
can anyone answer my earlier question? does exsanguinate work until your bleeds fall off? or is it like an instant effect
I'm probably not optimizing my gameplay in that case, but exang feels more interactive
Twist your blades into the target's wounds, causing your Bleed effects on them to bleed out 100% faster.
Exang speeds up the bleed rate of your CURRENT bleed effects
i dont play with it too much but it just bleeds out the current bleeds 100% faster
so when those fall off or are refreshed, its over
@dull osprey so after every exsang i gotta let the bleeds fall off before refreshing
yes
basically
The only thing I'm still trying to figure out is when I should vanish mid fight
I'll sometimes refresh at <1s
That would explain my parses then lmao
and I vanish to double garrote + rupt right before a exang
delayed only if vendetta is almost ready
Yeah you do that at 2;25
With 4th exsang
I usually use my vanish of the fight when my vendetta and exsang are both off cd (so like after my initial subterfuge mutilate>double garrote>rupture>vendetta>exsang)
and I exsang if it'll come off cd with vendetta
Yeah because you line up 3 of those abilities together at 2:25
Yeah I vanish right after my opening garrote and rupture/exang falls off
to refresh garrote with SS
Should I hold it till exang comes off?
Does Shrouded Suffo stack? I only have kept one on me all the time
yeah I figured
@dull osprey Exsang + vanish + vendetta at 2:25
So running 2 shrouded suffocations should be pretty good
and 1 archive?
Thats what I was running till I got a double dose piece and simmed higher with TB
i mean look up
Problem is I have to use LFR gear till I run normal/hc uldir so traits are pretty pointless for me till I get the gear
and I hold Vanish till my exang and ven is off cd?
the guy is parsing super high iwth dbl SS
I know that, I'm just saying that my personal sim says that TB projects higher dps
Exsang + vanish + vendetta at 2:25
Yeah, I simmed both x2 SS and x1 SS and x1 DD and the DD build was higher. However, I think I'm gonna say fack it and stick to exang
yea i think dd will always sim higher than ss atm
just play what you think you can do the best at i guess
Feelycraft 
Playing without a SS feels so gimp tho. Opener feels wack without it.
Yea
yes
October 3rd it was fixed.
hey guys, what should u run for uldir? Archive + 2 SS or archive + SS + DD?
Sim
Just got a Frenetic Corpuscle , is it any good?
A 370 Frenetic was 0.1% less than a 360 galecaller on a top gear for me last week (but I'd only been 120 for a few days at that point). I'll have to try them again with better gear now.
if i have 5 cp do i toxic blade at 5 cp then evis or evis then tb
I'm assuming the sim APL ueses galecaller optimally? (like with the 2:25 stuff above for exang)
On zekvoz are you guys rupturing the warriors?
Or just spamming fan till they die
No envenon in between?
rupture a few (maybe 1-2) for energy regen
Do you envenom in bwtween at 5 cp or just still spam fan?
envenom? you mean silithids? no, why would you
a few ruptures up - fok spam - envenoms into zekvoz
Ok so at 5 cp even though warriors are up, still enevenom zekvox
if i have 5 cp do i toxic blade at 5 cp then evis or evis then tb
do you play CT on that fight?
then i don't understand why you don't want to envenom the boss
Ok got it thank you
is it important to have quick nav as a enchant on MH weapon or not ?
Yes it is
doesn't matter

Always enchant ur weapons if thats what ur asking
No, he means does it matter which hand the enchants go on
^
It doesn't
And the answer is no
okay, thanks.
you saved me some gold
What was CT again?
Is Ravenholdt telling me to open (with one SS) by letting the first garrote fall off entirely before vanishing and garroting twice, then waiting after Vendetta is back up to vanish and garrote again before using Vendetta?
crimson tempest - last row talent
Ajjj Yeah i dont like that one for aoe
will echoing blades be any good?
wait, let me bring my magic future ball xD
i mean, looking at the numbers and considering you stack crit in m+, would 1 trait of it see use over SS?
Its good yes
Wether or not its better than SS is gonna depend on how you pull
Its the same with scent. If you're doing big pulls where things live for a long ass time, scent is going to be better than SS (which doesnt really happen <+15)
how do i use exsanguinate in m+?
on trash, use it on priority targets as close to on cooldown as possible after applying an empowered garrote and a 4-5cp rupture. on bosses follow the guide in the pins exactly
and when do i use crimson and poison?
use crimson tempest to consume the CP you built up tab target garroting on pulls big enough to warrant using it (3-4+), then reapply it if there's still enough targets alive when it has 2s left on its duration
i don't know what you mean by "when do i use poison".
Guys, does it matter if i have deadly nav on mainhand?
alrighty, thanks
what do you guys use to track dots on your targets? currently I use Threatplates and just look at the icons on top of them, but it can be easy to lose track of this
i just have normal ElvUI for it
I assume it does something similar by putting little icons on top of the nameplates?
yea, i usually target other mobs once the one im focusing is getting close to losing dots
if i dont keep track of it
I use a combination of cycling through targets with tab, looking at the icons above the nameplates, and just short-term memory/instinct. which is more error-prone than I'd like
although after doing some research, I think the real solution I want is something that is now disabled by the addon API: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/enemy-grid
it's a shame they disabled that without improving the way nameplates work. either you have them overlapping which makes it hard to target something specific without moving the camera/character around. or you have them stacking, which means they randomly change y-axis which is pretty annoying

not sure if this is the place to ask and yes i've looked around and haven't found any solid answers
i am debating leveling my 110 rogue alt and can't find if any spec is performing over another to make it more worth while (aside from sub on zul)
Sin or sub for add damage burst on fetid prog?
combat looked like it had highest sim dmg on herodamage but top "many" rogues are all sin so didn't know if that was the actual idea that sin was just doing better but no one wanted to say it
shitton of upgrades according too sims in 1 raid
but dropping from 19% too 14%haste feels so bad
sin is just solid everywhere. good in m+ as well as uldir. outlaw is really random, lower ST damage, used usually for aoe burst (big pulls in m+, zekvoz, zul if sub is not an option for some reason). sub is not that great on ST, used for zul and in high m+ keys (only for experienced groups)
@echo sphinx
@normal spear thank you much
the most rng spec in the game
Outlaw is not that random, stop spreading this info
This isn't early Legion, the variance is much more reasonable now
Especially with the current top traits, your damage is coming no matter your rolls
idk, i like sin rogue because it has no stupid procs etc, and even with bad crit luck you do stable dmg
but all 3 specs do something good
That wasn't 100 true until 8.0. did you like it before that?
you mean poison bomb?
What I'm getting a is Antorus poison bomb was likely a bigger rng mechanic than Curren outlaw
im trying too forget that dark time, it was not fun
well, you did good dmg without pb procs too
You do good damage without great rolls now too
pb just made your dmg insane OR made you do 2x more then everyone else
yay, rolling cd reduce 3-5 times in a row makes me spec back 😛
may be in term of damage it's not that random now, but the gameplay is just meh
rtb for 1 specific buff or 2+
Well that's subjective now isn't it
pure slot machine
not a fan of rolling energy regen 6 times in a row xd
combat is hella fun, not harping it there. but ya get bad rolls an entire boss fight, takes all the fun out of it
Just thinking of it the wrong way
makes up for it tho when I roll 2 5s in a row. that was fun
Every reroll is bte, br, and ar CD being reduced
Had fun gambling for gold back in WotLK, no need to gamble for dmg hah
Or more snake stacks
That's fine, but it'd be preferred if people quit spreading this misinformation about outlaw being heavily rng based to newer rogues
combat=morefun, Sin=more consistant, Sub=more skill lol
sub = more effort*
accurate
Im helping a friend gear his rogue. Rotation tips/Biz azerite pcs info greatly appreciated
I’ve played combat(outlaw) for some time during BfA. I found it not that amazing to keep rolling for RTP or GM or 2+ buffs. Once I started using Snek eyes, it got a lot more consistent and fun, only drawback I find with it is that you are in a pretty shitty position when you have to move from target or go from pack to pack since at start your dmg is shitty. Imho sin is most consistent spec atm. Sub is ..... although I like it, I would say it’s underperforming compared to sin unless your group builds around you
hello i'm aiming for a FH16 fortified, we are aiming to do big pulls (more than like 10 mobs every pulls) do you think I should go Scend of Blood or 2* SS ?
Guys, whats the best way to sim for mythic Vectis fight?
@tribal marlin consider outlaw ^^
Assa does significantly more sustained aoe than outlaw
@tribal marlin both are gonna be good options. hard to say whats better. just give it a try yourself
And a +16 will have mostly sustained rather than burst
I doubt it will be constant 10+ tagrets, so I would say SS
Its not about target numbers, its about length, ss is useless after 20 seconds into the pull
@spice surge idk how long you expect a pack of 10 mobs to last
im not sure on how assa/outlaw stacks up on sustained AoE but I think outlaw has like 36 seconds of bladeflurry
Sin will out aoe outlaw once outlaw can't keep flurry up
And you're getting in that range at that level
@spice surge I think number of targets was said because of scent of blood scaling with amount of ruptures you have up
Ok can someone spare some time to properly talk to me about stuff i can improve on
i got some help earlier
but i need to be yelled at
@sturdy python I agree that its perhaps the case across the entire dungeon but I would suspect that a lot of pulls where you're pulling 10 mobs you do have pretty much 100% uptime on bladeflurry. but yeah depends on dps and keylvl
https://www.twitch.tv/incarnated/clip/ObliviousGracefulHerdHassanChop
stuff like this. Sure that is with hero but its also a month old
But as i said, unless you're doing REALLY high keys, SS is gonna far outweigh the other options
hmmm, you think its bad when the reorigination bonus goes from haste too crit?
Not really if it sims better. It frequently swaps between the 2 when you get weapon enchant proccs anyway
yeha, but i went from 19%haste too 14% u.u
what ilvl are you? right now with RO my haste is at 30% in uldir
and it's 19% i think without
so garrote is becoming a talent in 8.1??
no
it's listed under talents there
tooltip stuff
382
1st re-clear after ghuun kill, 5 items that where a ilvl and simdps upgrade, but fucks my haste hard
yeah, im only at 376 ilvl but I have a pretty heavy amount of haste
@stiff crag The only change to garrote in 8.1 is that it requires a weapon to use
gotcha
o kill my dreams

It's still gonna be good, im interested to see how SS will combo with the new FoK trait
It's gonna blast
that has potential too
SS and scent, imagine that
i just want 1 ss for the smoth opening combo
raids always feel weird for the first few pulls without it
@tribal marlin if I had to choose I’d pick 2 ss 1 scent over 1 as 2 scent
@solid lava Sorry for the delay, I was on mobile all day https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ijesd3qTTVHK3GaKy1hfYw
Realistically you would only be able to keep ruptured on 4-5 targets, you would run out of gcds cos you’re trying to keep up full dots on everything including CT
Most of your dmg in a 10+ pack will come from CT, not rupture
ideal fat opener vs 10+ target would be G G G CT, vanish G G G CT, then apply ruptured after
You wont have energy for that
@crisp steppe xD If I was listening myself I'll go sub but my tank ask me for assa for crippling
you want wait too long before doing 2-3 rupture or you get energy starved
and we did it and I ran archive 2*ss 😄 20k overall
!food
anyone have the problems shadow steping up to a block oxe statue in mythic ghuun? it's telling me "can't use that here"?
stepping to statues on ghuun is super weird and buggy most of the time
YES U CNA
Chill ur tits mate
shadowstep in general seems to have some issues with doing stuff that would be considered something teleport-like, you kinda need a direct line of movement for it to work similar to warrior charge
usually you could just jump down a cliff and shadowstep back for example
that doesnt work anymore
and im guessing the statue is a similar issue, too "teleport" like for the games taste so it bugs out more often than not
even then its not reliable
best to just put a rogue as the first runner, not the second
and have druids/locks/monks be second runner
well, right side is definitely buggy most of the time, but not all the time
Thought u could not do on right side
either way, rogues are usually better off as the first runner, since wl/druid/monk can still cast from upstairs after delivering orb
ok so black oxe cannot work on right side
i just tested twice it was in good positions both times
so they can avoid a corruption stack after popping orb
i wish i was the raid leader o.O lol
Tell him
any decent raidleader should acknowledge that rogue isnt that great as a second runner
If he is good he will listen
rogue has a good selfheal, first-runners are the ones who take more damage since they have to go up earlier without any healing left. they have cloak in case the gateway is garbage and you get rooted, and they cant reliably step on the statue, at least on the right side
thank you seliathan and nyuro
all of which should make any raidleader worth its salt consider having rogues as a first runner, not second, unless you really dont have any warlocks/monks/druids
this has all led toa discussion w'ere having
no
it's just something connected to no path available/different levels
thats why shadowstep bugs there probably
ty
I cannot get statues to work for shadow step but I can shadowstep to players who are up there no problem.
I’m in group 5 for my guild and we haven’t made it far enough for me to have to do orbs yet so I’m sure it’ll be a fun time tonight when I wipe us trying to get it sorted out 😦
i believe for step to work you have to leap off the ramp with springt and then step to make it. Something about needing the game to register you on the same floor as the statue for step to trigger
@spice surge
6 sec. in lust.
yikes.
Doubt Prey will exceed IB
that is just a window of raw boss lust on mother phase 1.
if the ib is like 30k, would need group/raid to burst a 300k gain to = =
is the Icy Veins opener up to date?
Dont use Icy Veins, check the guide at the top or in pins

Dungeon Fight script: fight_style=DungeonSlice
If you want to get stat weights add this additional ```calculate_scale_factors="1"
scale_only="strength,intellect,agility,crit,mastery,vers,haste,weapon_dps,weapon_offhand_dps"```
How to use it(video):https://streamable.com/guxh4.
hey guys any use for wound poison?
like for mythic+, pvp, etc. i cant find a real reason to use it
dead spec? kappa
Not really a reason atm, no
does sprint no longer let u run on water?
😦 nomore
Sub can, but only if you're going forwards. Can't stand still on water.
@lone junco Its gonna need even more than that, if you IB during lust you get like 11 ticks of it, so thats 77 energy ontop of of that
for exsan rupture do you let it run out before reapplying
hmm hard to line it up
@quick ice you can still sprint on water as sub??! i thought that was an artifact thing from legion?
You have me questioning myself and I'm no longer certain. Will check next time I'm at my PC.
with blindside do you just spam it in exe range?
its simming higher for me
instead of mut
only on procs
You could check the sample sequence table for the Sim
?
Blindside is simming higher than EP for you?
I can't seem to find a simple hidden blades weakaura
Use the templates in WA?
:3
i doubt the blindside nerf will be much of a change but i would like to leave the middle talent alone T.T
blindside buff****
what are good stat weights in uldir? im at like 21% crit 16% haste 31% mastery 3% vers outside of raid and i think my haste is like 26% minimum in uldir
am i supposed to get like 20% haste and the rest into crit?
thanks for the response, is the 26-32% haste way too much?
Probably not.
so maybe just focus on dropping mastery for crit?
and i do sim, but im not sure if it takes into account the bonus haste i get
i thought it was just patchwerk basically
Hey I'm new to rogue, rolled it to help another guild with progression and I'm having some questions about what I'm doing wrong on some fights. Can someone who's knowledgeable send me a PM when they have time to help me review some logs?
thanks in advance
(I've seen the guides and I do decent but I feel on fights like taloc and in M+ my dps is way lower than it should be)
If you have a log in specific that you are curious about you can put it in chat and someone might get to it.
Odds are, if you read the guide and pretty much know what you are doing then the largest contributor to DPS is outside of your character (minus things like getting more sockets).
Can someone explain to me why triple ss is better than 1 archive 2 ss on m+?
What aren't you understanding about it? @glad sapphire
Using SS traits you're commiting to those opening garrotes
Stacking more just increases their value
zekvoz parses are more about orb timing and add padding, I wouldnt worry about that. Ghuun is about pumping damage in p1 with multiple vanish garrotes, not running orbs. I also vanish garrote the add during beam transition idk whether that counts though. here is my log from 6 weeks ago, it is mostly cheese though so I wouldnt worry https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FXLHBCMRW4Qth1qm#fight=28&type=damage-done
IIRC many people are not going triple SS to begin with, as other traits (Archive/Scent/etc.) hold potentially higher values.
@patent topaz anyways, I’m so bad at ghuun don’t know why :/
ok thanks im new to rogue and saw couple of streamers go for it just wanted to ask
Yeah archive and scent are great if shit lasts long enough/you pull big enough
But if you're playing SS then more of them is better
Yeah general rule, the more SS the better.
I havent had an SS for the past month cause I had a 340 and nothing above that would drop. Got a 385 Tuesday and went into a dungeon. Could feel the difference immediately
Tough to get a headpiece w/SS at high level
Yeah cowl of fluid machinations is like the only one isn't it?
raid chest
Headpiece I mean though
mm yeah tougher
There's easy 370 shoulders from emissary
At least on ally side, I imagine same deal for horde
Isn't that 355?
I guess beats only having 340 from M0
Above that though you're praying from M+ cache
and emissary caches.
hey guys, what nameplate addon you are using? 😃
Elvui
if someone has some spare time please check these terrible logs and tell me what im doing wrong plz
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rD7Qg1CctwdhzqHy/
im Blixem in the logs
Can you macro shadowstep to a monk statue for g’huun?
hmmm good question can you target it?
i know mouse over works
did it yesterday in m+ to avoid sanguine
I have macros to ss to other players, wasn’t sure how to do statue
i think i would try set focus to statue if possible, then just use focus macro unless you using it for trick?
Samstel, sorry I don't have much time, but what I can see is, you're wasting uldir array into crit because you don't have enough haste
And I saw Mythrax, you're wasting lot of combo point (i.e mut at 4+)
You can see it from Summary, select your nickname then ressources, and chose combo point
so if array is giving crit i should rather swop it for double dose or rupture one?
Well, if the difference is not much between your crit and haste, shouldn't be a problem mb since your trinket, azerit trait and weapon can proc haste
Are there any Sims on te nothing personal trait ?
Array should give you haste
Try to aim for a gear with haste to proc array haste
ok cool thankx for atleast looking at it for me 😃
Your trait are fine, don't use rupture
ok cool will see what i can do about that haste
I can't see from there, but what you should be looking for in your log is
Uptime garrote, rupture, envenom and ep buffs
Wasted combo points and energy overcapped
And little things like not using a full 5combo rupture on an add who will die asap
The trick is, when a add is up, just rupt/garrote it, make sure to apply deadly poison and just focus boss :) you will regen enough to spam gcd
Ofc if your raid strategy need the add to die faster help them, but shouldn't be your role
Lëylaa - Archimonde
ah ok cool thankx man appreciated
i normally tank so rusty on dps, was just curious to see if im making any major mistakes
its garrote>mutil>rupture right?
even if its just a 3 point rupture?
or do i mutilate again before rupture?
All the openers are in the guide, relative to your traits/talents
I checked 4 fights and all 4 had different openers
How it is easy to get SS trait Shoulder from Emissary?
I just got another chest piece from Emisarry, and that was 3x 370 Chest and bunch of 340 (before changed). only loot one 340 shoulder since BfA.
And Emissary cycle for Zandalaris emissary is 2 weeks?
at least there's an SS chest from raid?
ye, >.< I know, but you can have another chest SS from normal or heroic Uldir. but not shoulder or helm.
yea I get lucky with ss shoulders I guess. 370 zandalari and 370 shoulders from weekly chest
I don't raid though so I'm using the pvp chest with ss
feels bad
Got insanely lucky yesterday: 385 waycrest manor shoulder piece from weekly chest, 385 dagger with socket from mother and 390 cloak with socket from vectis
...
Me can not get dagger from mother for 6 weeks, using coin every week
Thanks blizzard
i had same prob aemond then i got 3 in 3 weeks and a zul dagger too
¯_(ツ)_/¯
keep at it
Got the dagger first week from Mother, been 8-9 kills since then all with bonus rolls and still no 2nd. Every Rogue alt we have just for Zul has 2 Mythic daggers at this point as well. Kinda demoralizing :p
370 belong to us
Can anyone elaborate on this? Html report on sims has me pooling to 125+ energy before envenom outside toxic blade/vendetta. Is this correct?
envenom,if=combo_points>=4+talent.deeper_stratagem.enabled&(debuff.vendetta.up|debuff.toxic_blade.up|energy.deficit<=25+variable.energy_regen_combined|!variable.single_target)&(!talent.exsanguinate.enabled|cooldown.exsanguinate.remains>2)
Envenom at 4+ (5+ with DS) CP. Immediately on 2+ targets, with Vendetta, or with TB; otherwise wait for some energy. Also wait if Exsg combo is coming up.
Anyone has time/ feels up to destroying my confidence and finally helping me improve in my performance this xpac, by looking over some resent logs?
If so: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gvdJCQp916ntTDVX/ I am Estable
you should probably replace that 355 galecallers by now and play toxic blade
do you really not have any better trinkets?
@main mirage
Galecallers sim better than my 385 trinekts
what 385 trinkets do you have
also your uptimes are really low
like
REALLY low
maintain your dots better
these are my uptimes from our fetid kill this week
these are yours
Ye, i know about the uptimes, tbf it was the first time i killed fetid, but even on the other bosses you are right
cant do dmg if dots dont tick ;)
i believe low uptimes on some bosses with downtime like taloc or vectis
but on fetid it should be 100% especially if you are on mutated mass duty
@main mirage what trinks do you have
can you link me your raidbots
like a top gear sim
Finally got a good parse on fetid after weeks of being on furthest add duty 💦
LOL
jesus
yeah i was playing sub on small add for every week
finally with fetid nerfs raid went yolo and i could play sin on mass
felt so easy lol
haha exactly the same for me, finally got my rl to give me sin big add yesterday
so i could get a good parse
I played assa exsang for small adds, we are extending ghuun now so maybe no more mythic kills
98 perf avg now, feeling finished with uldir
Now just for mythrax for all orange 🔫
yeah we dont for our prog logs we just go public after
so people dont pad for prog
i guess
I got 91 on first mythrax kill I think, good enough
I still didnt get ghuun since i missed kill night
im finally getting benched on ghuun to try out new trials
we got to 6th dunk on our first progress night, feels doable
feels so good to not have to kill that fkn maggot
But all our 5%> wipes i was on 100% parse
Will probably get fucked on kill knowing my luck
public:
Same screen lol
private:
Im on mobile no linkerino
I like how the Zul is the same dps with different hist%
ye
cause i stopped reforging gear after prog
LUL
but it was good for september
its rng and not counted for allstar points anyway
dumb fight
I love getting my fear late dispelled on zul
Or not at all
tanks fuck up = 0 parse
Its irrelevant boss ye
Not really
Zek is more outlaw
arguably zek is an outlaw fight
I’m kinda new to the class
Sin is only far superior on vectis imo
Just want to start with 2 specs
Rest is whatever
And in mythic plus? Which dungeons are better for sin?
Man im having so mmuch fun as outlaw and i hated the living shit out of it before
Kings rest is a sin dungeon
Shrine is a good sub dungeon
That’s cuz the packs with priority add
Atal is terrible for sub
I’ve seen a lot of rogues going sub for AD
Itscuz u can play around sub for insane dmg overall
What is that like? Pulling always 3 mobs or >4
If your group doesn't pull like mdi sub isn't gonna help you much thougj
@dark token could you please give some tips on zek and ghuun ?
MDI is different than everyday m+ run. They have very specific tactics revolving around certain players that your average group would not even think about doing
zekvoz, dont use vanish on pull
use it to vanish/SS theadds
yell IM GETTING THIS FUCKING ORB to guild on last orb with cds
use crimson tempest if your guild has no aoe padders, or poison bomb and pray for parse
tempest is consistent tho
ghuun status: get benched cause melee, no rekill next week, afk 2 weeks cause school, sell 2 weeks and dont want to bring new people cause its sketch
will i get kill before 8.1? who knows
Ss which adds ? Seletides?
im in 1st runner group on prog, so I run twice
hopefully we can kill before christmas
on like every boss
Thanks
Imin 5th running once life
at least I know 2 runs wont fail
i make sure to fresh rupture add right before platform drops
then vanish garrote add shadowstep taloc garrote garrote
eh it lives a little, like 1/3rd hp left for us usally
you dont lose much boss dmg by delaying rupture for 2 gcds
ive actually started using "player dmg to bosses" as a statistic when looking at parses because of how much add padding this raid has lol

What’s weird about those stat weights
2.03
should i be taking shrouded sufforcation if possible or rather go with archive ? 😮
saw some dope rogue with 3 of em
@dark token so you are talking about last add before platform finishes it’s moving ?
Anyone around to give me some feedback on my logs please? I'm struggling to get above blue and it's driving me nuts. HC only. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Xb9Qt7d3KLmyZFGY/
you should keybind your vanish
its a big cd
you also dont use vanish ever yeah
Garrote
Rupture
Garrote
Vendetta
Mutilate
Rupture
Exsanguinate when talented
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote twice
@flyover#3514 for M+ 3x SS if possible. For ST sim yourself. But you will always want a reorigination array piece
You're also randomly using your racial too
Sometimes its there
Sometimes its 3-4 GCDs after vendetta
Other times its unused
@dark token his opener is pretty good, cause for example on fetid he didnt use SS, but yeah use vanish to empower garrote
Why would you link the SS opener if you didn’t check whether or not he’s using SS 🤔
cause everyone on the planet but this guy uses ss 🤔
^this
or low ilvl
^
Plenty of rogues do blessrng to good mut crits with MA :p
either way his opener is super inconsistent
My best simming set is archive/DD x2
You seem to do this a fair bit too.
I run MA
I find the crazy part is he is beating his other raidmates
well if you are lucky enough to DDx2 i guess good for you m8
@solid nova Probably ranged dps pulled the boss and he ran to him instead of shadowstep :p
Point is - don’t make assumptions because you can misinform people
You're not using your 2nd pots properly either
@fluid owl better uptimes, use vendetta to empower garrotes if you use Subterfuge, also pair vendetta with vanish and racial
Just seem to be popping it randomly
@fair blaze Nah Prot pally pulled first, then 2 seconds of nothing
always tricks tank so u pull 1st
pull on 6 sec so no one can get 1st hit or steal your prepot
pro tip from frozen
he sits afk or the back of the raid a lot on pull
So dont know why he didnt cast anything :d
yeah
Just use tricks 🤷🏼
Maybe he doesn’t have a boss mod and can’t see pull timers lol
maybe passlife warlock main
i always start at boss and sprint or ss to its tank pul llocation
