#

Would like more aoe as assass

#

Rly?

#

Could ya link please?

#

Nvm found it

solid nova
#

Ah nice 😄

sturdy python
#

Assassin is probably the best sustained aoe in the game right now

#

That's just only really a thing in m+ though atm

languid ore
#

Isn't sub getting nerfed further in 8.1? That just leaves ass and law. Depending on how much cleave there is in 8.1 it's looking like ass is gonna be top dog

sturdy python
#

It's getting damage removed from sh combo and added to sstorm. I hear it is a Nerf overall but idk

#

Outlaw is getting a new trait that some people think will help it out

languid ore
#

It'll help but bf still has a cap

sturdy python
#

Sure but depending on how strong outlaw is itself that might not matter

#

Doubt it though, sin scales too well anyway

#

Don't hate, appreciate

lone hamlet
#

How’s actually outlaw generally ?

languid ore
#

The best. If you're looking to push content id go with outlaw

dense blaze
#

Not a fan of the blade flurry change

#

Feels wrong

sturdy python
#

Once it run out of bf other stuff will out pace it

languid ore
#

Unless pressing buttons at a face pace is intimidating

lone hamlet
#

Bf what is it

solid nova
sturdy python
#

Outlaw is pretty good, it's just assassin does everything better except burst aoe

royal lantern
#

tbf, assassination should do higher st dmg and sustained aoe by desing

#

outlaws niche in bfa is supposed too be good cleave/good burst aoe, but you only need that for some fights, not all the time

wide delta
#

@echo night bro can u please link the link to the Changes please ?

hollow stone
#

So m mythrax now... melee can just stack all over each other yeah? I really like my fellow rogue and want to be inside him during bosses if at all possible

dense blaze
#

correct

hollow stone
#

As richard said "Theres a breakdown on wowhead of everything, can filter by class and spec"

#

Well i cant find it - on mobile it has bad overview -

#

Else i wouldnt ask wtf

#

Found in like 3 sec on mobile

#

This one was updated yesterday

blazing forge
#

can anyone give me the macro for shroud

#

where u /say the countdown

fair sparrow
#

there is weak aura for that, it should be easy to find

blazing forge
#

oh cool

#

Oops that was azerite

#

no need to link it 2 other ppl did

#

But its on the same page

#

Oh

#

oof, rip deadly brew

quick fog
#

I'm mad Sharpened Blades is getting turned into a Sub trait. >.>

blazing forge
#

ty

hollow junco
#

good riddance to sharpened blades

quick fog
#

I didn't like the trait but it was the best thing I had on my 385 piece

tropic shadow
#

Most of the raid pieces have SS so you can look forward to that as well as more M+ pieces with SS

hollow junco
#

Most of the raid pieces have SS
praise ion. ionWOAH

lone junco
#

is "spray of knives" another fok? so the CPs can chain crit?

#

or is the fok crit spray, just dmg.

strange python
#

Fan of Knives damage is increased by 137. For each of the first 5 critical strikes, it will fire a second spray of knives at that location, dealing 328 damage to enemies within 8 yards.

#

But I bet that second wave will not be affected by crit

lone junco
#

right, i read that. just wondering if the second wave will gen cps on crit.

#

i doubt it will

strange python
#

Probably not

#

That would be op

lone junco
#

ish.

#

would drop crit weight in cleave for sure.

strange python
#

Sharpened blades removed

#

wtf

lone junco
#

I liked pw.

#

it just wasnt strong enough

#

and didnt synergize with ss.

#

but once we shifted to DD/Twist, it would have been great

strange python
#

It kinda worked like WW combo talent

#

Well nvm im thinking about the wrong trait

signal summit
#

Where do u actually see the specific traits the pieces have ?

#

For next raid

spice surge
#

Wowhead/wowdb

umbral hemlock
#

I don't get it. are Garrote gonna be a talent? It says Garrote under talents

#

In the PTR notes

fleet whale
#

garrote is not going to be a talent, the only change it got was that it requires a weapon to use now

hollow stone
#

Makes perfect sense. How can you garrote somebody irl without a knife in your hand

lone junco
#

i did try to make fat MH garrotes a thing

#

mut is overrated.

ornate forum
#

Well, the icon is literally a razor wire. Unless I've been looking at it wrong all these years

lone junco
#

same

#

it looked like a bloody knife or something, its barbed wire

hollow stone
#

Yeah, everyone knows you cant hold wire unless you have a knife

#

What are you? New?

lone junco
#

this guy is just throwing the barbed wire.

hollow stone
#

Lol

#

#

well, for me atleast

slim olive
#

What about the infinite scaling poisons that happened in legion ANT

#

that was pog

umbral hemlock
#

Thanks god. I almost shat a green pig

lone junco
#

@slim olive yeah. that sstep knife opener was actually really cool

#

vanish fok in trash for NDSP was good game imo

tropic shadow
#

What’s the optimal way to use exsang in a trash pack scenario? Something like 4 targets. Just got my 2nd SS piece so I haven’t had much experience with exsang

lone junco
#

I tend to use it every pull on the prio mob.

#

so
g g g ct fok fok rupture exang

#

add in vendetta and vanish if the mob is a super baddy.

#

or st pull.

#

that exang is mostly an energy pump to start your trash pack.

#

helps you tab out 4+ ruptures.

tropic shadow
#

Ah okay I’ll practice that later, ty!

lone junco
#

Galecaller lines up well there.

#

dont bother with a 4th garrote until the first 3 drop off. once you have the ruptures tabbed out, garrote is pretty worthless. can vanish g g g to refresh if it is a major pack.

tropic shadow
#

Doing mostly 10-14 keys so trash dies pretty quickly

vapid moth
#

which level 75 talent do yall use for M+

tropic shadow
#

And with CT, to get the most benefit do pulls have to be on the larger side, or is that something I’d have to sim using the dungeon script to get the best answer

marble hemlock
#

fokkening memes you say?

lone junco
#

CT vs PB doesnt sim that well for M+. Sims assume flat footed application. meaning PB hits all the shit.

#

CT is great for kites or tanks that dont stand still.

tropic shadow
#

Ah, that’s interesting, didn’t think of it that way before

lone junco
#

same with Galecaller.

#

the assumption is that you are in the circle

#

if you are not in the circle, it only applies to the Exang.

#

but we use it due to bosses. its not insane for the trash component, but there are still ST fights.

#

so you can stack crit/mastery, and reserve GC for a good haste pop to the st moments.

vapid moth
#

what level 75 talent do you use for m+

marble hemlock
#

iron wire

lone junco
#

it makes that G G G shine

#

IB is neat, but defense isnt horrible.

spice surge
#

IB for fat damage, but i would run wire if i were doing high keys

royal lantern
#

i like IB cus it gives you a shitton of energy, wich is great too burst down priority targets

tidal sedge
#

have you guys seen the new traits for sin rogues? they are all getitng a vers multiplier so does that mean we actually need vers 😦

spice surge
#

All traits already scale with vers

#

Its just a tooltip update

tidal sedge
#

ooo

#

well i have 0 vers anyways lmao

vapid moth
#

damn ive really been sleeping on IB for so long.

#

i was using prey in pvp then remember it was nerfed to shit and i never checked out hte other choices. thought IB did its damage over 12 sec or some shit till then

royal lantern
#

nah, IB ticks REALLY fast, wich makes it great too get energy back

vapid moth
#

gotchu

opaque grotto
#

IB is nasty, it ticks harder than rupture

#

You definitely get more dmg out of it than you would from prey

rare jackal
#

doesnt venomous wounds only procc off of garrote and rupture?

#

🤔

royal lantern
#

take IB and check the passive

rare jackal
#

o

#

never noticed that

royal lantern
#

yeha, idk why its only in the tooltip when you have the talent

keep the dot up at 3, spam at 5-6

spice surge

Shrine is pretty chill tbh, atleast if youre running with a premade group

#

Sub is amazing there

royal lantern
#

i like tol dagor at this point, did it sooooo many times too get a decent weapon, can do it with closed eye's now

#

just hate the camera on the cannon part, you cant see shit

sturdy python
#

Hate the cannon part. My favorite route is just death running that part

devout osprey
#

So is Ravenholdt better to use the Icyveins?

#

So far I'm finding teh rotation for this class to be WAAAAAAAAAY easier then Affliction

royal lantern
#

w8, isnt affliction just dot->dot->shadowbolt until full soulshards->spamm unstable....?

devout osprey
#

sorta

#

but it's the nature of spamming dots

#

I can't stand having that many dots

#

not when the class itself isnt fun.

dark crag
#

Assa is a dot spec too

devout osprey
#

Not as bad

royal lantern
#

thats why i nicknamed souldrain fundrain in legion, you top the meters and want too kill yourself while doing it:P

devout osprey
#

I started playing rogue on Classic

#

servers

#

and came back for BFA

#

I knew I had to play Rogue

#

So...back to topic. Icy Veins is no go?

spice surge
#

The guide in the pin or wowhead guide is my recommendation

devout osprey
#

thanks

#

Icy Veins was confusing me.

where can you see the new profesions shit?

light rampart
#

I’m i the only one not liking the galecaler spec? I switched back after getting it honestly

#

So used to the rotation that gale feels clunky and losing dps over it in raids

surreal lodge
#

gale doesnt change your standard rotation tho? im confused

#

just some fights u cant stand in it

light rampart
#

I think so tho? Having to make sure my bleeds are topped of eventho my bleeds are not in the range to refresh yet

#

That’s the biggest part I’m struggling on

spice surge
#

?

surreal lodge
#

youd only need to do that if theyre gonna run out in the 10seconds of galecallers tho right? and at that point you're only refreshing a few seconds early if that

spice surge
#

Galecallers has literally no impact on your gameplay, except trying to make sure you dont step out of it

lone junco
#

if your GC and exang are going to be used at the same time, just make sure to hit GC first.

light rampart
#

Hmm

#

I feel like I’m doing something wrong

#

I feel like I have to refresh my bleeds whenever ex is coming of cooldown even when it’s not in pandemic ( I’m used to playing without ex, I used to sim better eventho I run double SS)

#

Side note. Gale makes me sim better in ex

royal lantern
#

getting shittalked by a boomkin on the ToS endboss cus he has higher dps then me

ffs, some people dont understand shit about classes lol

ornate forum
#

Reminds me of taking my frost mage alt to temple on a quaking week. We kept wiping about 45 seconds in on shocky boi boss because the healer was garbage. Yet the healer was raging about dps being bad and tha't's why we're failing - because an aff lock and a frost mage couldn't keep up with the assassin rogue on a 40 second fight length (and during quaking to boot). I just kept shaking my head.

please everyone, be kind to any of the remaining sub rogue mains coming over here, they need love and compassion right now.

Nope get out.

Only real spec here :3

Shhh, Let's be nice. They've been forced from their homes okay.

pearl widget
#

is Shrouded Suffocation still BiS?

civic palm
#

For M+ you want as many as you can get without sacrificing too much item level.

#

For Raids if you're a Night Elf you probably want 1 as well.

pearl widget
#

just 1 stack for raid?

civic palm
#

Depends on everything else you have. Check WCL there's a wide spread of 1-2 SS with Archive/DD/etc.

civic palm

beepboop

devout osprey
#

So which is an easier spec ass or out

civic palm
#

Do you like maintaining DoTs or Pushing Buttons more?

winter niche
#

Maintaining dots is kinda boring after playing afflock so i find outlaw more fun personally

#

But sin is my second spec

devout osprey
#

But ass is more involving

#

I dont mind some dots

royal lantern
#

outlaw is more easy too get into imo

#

assassination atleast needs too line up some stuff and keep an eye on pandemic timers, outlaw is always pretty much the same

icy ember
#

hey asn rogues, what is a good setup for M+? is 3x shrouded suffocation still good?

lost horizon
#

yep

icy ember
#

so what changed about shrouded suffocation? its damaged was nerfed?

#

damage*

#

but its still top dog after nerf, like deadshot for outlaw

lost horizon
#

nothing recently

icy ember
#

yea i haven't looked at asn in quite a while

#

like 2 months or so

wide bolt
#

Is there any competition between 3x SS and 2x SS + 1 Scent of Blood?

#

In M+

karmic ingot
#

Scent of Blood is very strong on fortified weeks.

wide bolt
#

Yea was thinking of running it this week

#

equal ilevel between both pieces

icy ember
#

is 'Cleave' considered 2+ or 3+ targets?

sturdy python
#

Any number I'd think, usually it's 2 or 3 that live for a long time

#

So like council style fights

undone minnow
#

hey, could someone help me with a weak aura question i have for tracking debuffs on target frame?

civic palm
#

Fire away.

undone minnow
#

right now i made a group of debuffs that show over the frame when applied, and the text is in white which i want

#

but

#

i want the text to change color when its in pandemic range and glow

#

so go from white to red and start glowing for example

civic palm
#

Goto CONDITIONS for each of the WA, set Remaining Duration as the Conditions and enter the correct pandemic timers.

velvet kernel
#

ok so

civic palm
#

There will then be options as to what you DO with that CONDITION and you can set it to GLOW (/w a checkbox) and change color.

velvet kernel
#

how many buttons would you say sin has?

civic palm
#

That many.

velvet kernel
#

rip kingslayer

undone minnow
#

would u recommend using a 4pt timer for rupture pandemic?

velvet kernel
#

friend said it had 3

undone minnow
#

or can i use a percent condition?

velvet kernel
#

and that dh was more intricate

undone minnow
#

for the 30%

velvet kernel
#

guess i now know why he is trash

civic palm
#

Use a LITERAL timer for each DoT.

#

or use % either should be fine.

undone minnow
#

so then go off of 4 pt rupture timer

civic palm
#

You will only ever be able to get so much added to the new DoT, so a literal number works fine.

undone minnow
#

ok thank you for the help 😃

#

@civic palm hey so i got the color change but im having trouble with the glow

#

cant get the glow effect on it for some reason

civic palm
#

There's a little checkbox next to the glow, has to be checked.

undone minnow
#

ya i just found that haha my bad

Hey, i was wondering why Mutilate sometimes gives me 3 combo points instead of 2.

#

@civic palm hey one other question

#

is there a way to attach weakauras to enemy name plates to track debuffs?

#

currently have elvui debuffs for enemy nameplates

calm quartz
#

Sub or Sin for 10-14key farm?

strange python
#

Sin

civic palm
#

@undone minnow As far as I know that's not a frame you can target to clamp WA's to anymore without some further knowledge of LUA.

undone minnow
#

hmm alright, ill see if i can find anything like that, no luck so far though

#

just wish i could change more for the debuffs in elvui

#

thanks though

velvet kernel
#

@undone minnow maybe you can as they can put fixated and infested on nameplates with weakaura's if you can catch someone like nnoggas stream i would ask him

undone minnow
#

ya thats a good point!

gleaming siren
#

okay, trying to find a definitive answer - can you snapshot stealth empowered garrote by continuously refreshing it before it wears off?

Okay finding stuff that says snapshotting was essentially removed in WOD... this is what I get for not raiding since cata.. anyone can correct me/call me an idiot now

correct snapshotting is ded

earnest quest
#

Hey guys, I understand that many ppl think that ass is the go to rogue spec currently for raids (Except Zul) but taking a look at warcraftlogs and filtering the top 80% parses, it looks like outlaw and sub are outdoing ass by a little. Why is this the case then? Doesnt warcraftlogs info show that outlaw and sub are better?

#

I'm not sure if this info takes Zul into account because if it did then I understand Sub dropping down a few notches cause Zul is an anomaly so to speak

#

It seems more ppl play outlaw than even sub so was wondering why ppl keep claiming that sin is the king of rogue specs right now cause from the data, it doesnt appear so. In fact outlaw should be the go to spec

#

If its just cause sin is easier to play then I understand... Haha

normal spear
#

Many logs are cheesed as hell (look at top mother parses)

strange python
#

assa is better in p3 ghuun which is where dmg matters

#

better on mythrax unless you struggle with small adds

#

better on fetid if youre on big add and if youre on small you go sub pretty much

#

considering those were the relevant fights this tier

earnest quest
#

I understand that dsj. Thanks but does that amount of cheesing really skew the results by that much? Outlaw is ahead of ass by quite abit.

#

I understand roguewarlock but I guess I was referring to parsing in general as compared to fights that matter. haha. Thanks tho

normal spear
#

Yes, that skews the results by a mile imo

#

I agree with roguewarlock. If you look at each specific fight, sin is usually more suitable

earnest quest
#

The only reason I can think of that makes outlaw undesirable is rtb buff which is just too random but by we are talking about the best parses out of all the classes, I'm sure that will be able to normalise things somwhat

#

Ok again I understand but to go outright and claim that ass is the go to spec seems a little of a stretch?

strange python
#

at this point

#

maybe

earnest quest
#

Sorry if this is seen as arguing but I'm not 😃 Just trying to udnerstand

#

It seems to me like all the specs are pretty close with ass having a slight edge that would be my assessment

#

yes no?

strange python
#

whats the metric

#

overall damage

earnest quest
#

parsing

#

Basically being top dps in raids is my metric

normal spear
#

Dont look at overall damage only, easily cheesable

earnest quest
#

ok

strange python
#

if overall dmg is the goal

#

then yea

#

go by what performs higher statsistically

earnest quest
#

even if normalised score is the metric? It still seems like all 3 specs are very close

#

and ass should not be the go to spec

normal spear
#

One ks into full raid adds on mother - outlaw will come on top by a mile. Leaving adds alive during last intermission on vectis - sub will blow the boss up

earnest quest
#

easier yes but go to seems abit of a stretch haha

#

true true

#

haha

#

but are raids doing that tho?

strange python
#

chinese guilds

#

some

earnest quest
#

are the top parses doing that? If yes, then I agree cheesing is a huge issue

strange python
#

also

earnest quest
#

and many top parses not just a few

strange python
#

it was unarguably the go to for progress

#

for most bosses

#

which is the most relevant for most people

earnest quest
#

I understand roguwarlock

normal spear
#

Better padding doesnt equal better spec, but outlaw is a solid spec. Uldir just doesn't have massive aoe fights where pirate shines

earnest quest
#

yeah I agree 😃

normal spear
#

And 2-3 targets is perfect for sin

earnest quest
#

yeah definitely

#

thanks for your time anyway guys

#

learnt alot

strange python
#

also is there any difference in difficulty between outlaw and assa

#

i guess rolling good

earnest quest
#

haha

#

I actually think out of all 3 specs, (I have tried outlaw and sub only), Sub seems easier once you get the hang of it but that could only be me

#

seems very annoying to keep rtb for buffs if you font get a good set

#

that takes focus away from your awareness

normal spear
#

Sub is the hardest of 3

earnest quest
#

For sub its just focusing on burst windows and making sure you are constantly on the boss to ensure cdr on your cds

#

I definitely feel like I'm the odd one out in thinking that sub is easier than outlaw lol

marble hemlock
#

nah

earnest quest
#

I've primarily played sub this whole expansion

marble hemlock
#

sub is very simplistic, its just that the managing of cooldowns is something you need to get used to at first

earnest quest
#

only lvled as outlaw for abit

marble hemlock
#

but mechanically speaking theres no difficulty, you have exactly 3 rotational abilities

earnest quest
#

I can see the challenge in sub in M+ when switching between 2+ adds rotation and st rotation and how much quicker the spec becomes in aoe

#

Sad that it seems sub is gonna lose its niche in 8.1..

#

@marble hemlock Hmm not really true. Rotationally yes, but when you add buttons that you need to press every 30s of so and how crucial every shd is, it ups the difficulty lvl quite abit

its not more buttons though, is it

#

shd just replaces backstab

#

and you hit a shd/sod macro

earnest quest
#

I dont think you should ever macro sod and sd

marble hemlock
#

most people do

strange python
#

is amount of buttons a good metric for difficulty tho

earnest quest
#

isnt that suboptimal?

#

haha I feel so

marble hemlock
#

amount of rotational abilities is imo

#

warlock in tbc was very simple, because it had 1 rotational ability

strange python
#

thats

#

an extreme example

marble hemlock
#

yes

strange python
#

yea when your spec is only shadowbolt its easy

earnest quest
#

Using just rotational abilities well only will not give you good dps

marble hemlock
#

but i wouldnt call any spec difficult to play that has 5seconds out of every 30 seconds where you actually need to be aware of what youre doing

#

and sub spends most of the other 25seconds just backstabbing/refreshing nightblade

#

thats not involved gameplay

earnest quest
#

haha I guess we can agree to disagree in that statement

#

Perhaps, I'm just need to get good so lol Could be a me issue

marble hemlock
#

obviously everyone has different opinions about what constitutes "difficulty" in terms of gameplay

earnest quest
#

yep

marble hemlock
#

having to maintain 1 debuff, while having 1 builder and 1 spender outside of nightblade just seems.... boring

#

assa isnt much better

#

mind you

earnest quest
#

St rotation is easy in general for all classes but M+ is where I feel things get more tricky cause of your aoe rotation which can change quite abit

normal spear
#

Are there difficult specs?

marble hemlock
#

well, subs aoe rotational gameplay is very simple tho

strange python
#

like wotlk ret had like 7 rotational spells i think

#

and i doubt anyone considered it hard

marble hemlock
#

on singletarget most specs can be played on a controller with 4 buttons now, so no

earnest quest
#

Then I need to get good :/

marble hemlock
#

dont think any are hard

strange python
#

ya

earnest quest
#

haha

#

ok

marble hemlock
#

on aoe? theres definitely a huge change in difficulty for some specs, and not for others

#

some specs do the same they already did

#

some specs have minor changes to their rotation (sub for example)

#

and some specs gameplay changes entirely (assa for example)

echo night
#

@marble hemlock would u say that Assass is still going to be meta for M+ in 8.1?

#

Im really interrested in how the new fok trait will pan out with more ilvl etc. Would love to see assass put outlaw in its place on aoe aswell :p

spice surge
#

It already does in high keys

dense blaze
#

They'd have to like.. remove venemous wounds to make mut not meta in M+

drifting elbow
#

...u just kill shrouded suffocation trait

#

to make it on same level as other spec

dense blaze
#

Removing venemous wounds would have a bit larger on an impact don't you think

#

That's just a pipe dream though that'd be senseless

nimble tartan
#

new meta 1 echo 2ss for pug keys to chad on aoe and st

scarlet escarp
#

my haste is at 18% at 365 and I feel like I need more

drifting elbow
#

sure its an impact but SS is the one who does most dmg in period of 1min pack life spans

marble hemlock
#

@echo night if the combo nerf goes through

#

then assa is gonna be the go-to for almost every dungeon, ye

drifting elbow
#

well it was already 100% to go spec for casuals

dense blaze
#

bUt tHe St BuRsT

drifting elbow
#

only real change is that top runners that usually has big pack pulls cannot use sub spec

scarlet escarp
#

call me crazy but I almost feel like im better in aoe situations than I am ST

lone junco
#

Because you can't mess up ggg Ct.

echo night
#

@marble hemlock what u mean combo nerf?

marble hemlock
#

current PTR patch doesnt have shuriken combo for sub anymore

#

so its gonna take a ~15% hit on its overall damage for m+

#

not even that much

sage narwhal
#

So scent of blood > Blightborne infusion for m+ even if blightborne sims higher?

lone junco
#

Blight is crit right?

blissful saddle
#

Yeh

lone junco
#

Makes sense. If you can't get 3ss

#

Crit is king in FOK

sage narwhal

Yeah it's crit

#

I have one SS, and then I can choose between another SS or Blightborne

#

Blightborne sims higher, but I don't see anyone running it

#

Oh wait I wrote wrong in my first question, it's SS or blightborne, not scent of blood

thoughts on new alchemy trinket ?

twilit elk
#

is the goal as sin, to make sure that i keep envenom up as much as possible? So say i have Garotte and Rupture on target. Then i generate 4 CP, envenom. then i mutilate get lucky now i have 5 CP. Do i wait till the envenom buff is low and pool energy then envenom. Or do i ijust spam it as i get it.

quasi pewter
#

wait until elaborate planning has 0,1s left and then envenom if ur not gonna cap energy

velvet kernel
#

tbh most of the time now you dont really have to think about it i would say its only if you want to really min max

strange python
#

No

#

Thats how you play the spec

#

Maximizing EP windows if you're specced into it

normal spear
#

but EP is not the highest priority, or am I wrong?

hollow stone
#

Its not the highest, i guess. Probably bleeds, vendetta, etc. But like michee said, it is an important part of the spec

normal spear
#

maximizing TB windows is much more important. and since EP utilization is just dumping/spamming envenoms, it can lead to energy problems

hollow stone
#

Optimizing ep leads to optimizing ev buff too

#

Regardless of "what's more important", ep is important to use properly

marble hemlock
#

since envenom pandemics, and EP doesnt, clipping EP will automatically lead to good envenom uptimes

#

and yes, other stuff has priority, i.e. getting 3 envenoms into TB

opaque grotto
#

EP really has the most priority during vendetta, other than that it’s kinda hard to sustain for a long time

marble hemlock
#

yup

#

keeping high/100% uptime during vendetta/exsang is definitely a priority

opaque grotto
#

Like you could ignore EP outside of vendetta/exsang/TP and it would barely be a loss

#

TB*

marble hemlock
#

other than that, try to clip EP when you have the energy, if you dont, just pool before you use your next finishers so you can clip on the subsequent envenoms again once or twice

opaque grotto
#

But yeah if you want to truly min/max do what seliathan says

normal spear
#

outside of TB do you use envenom asap for the buff or pool energy?

strange python
#

Bro like I already told you

#

Maximize your EP windows

errant mauve
#

EP windows? like sexual healing

i cannot always fit envs into EP. i'm talking about situations at low energy, so i should prob pool

@onyx rock that is what i normally prefer

untold cargo

isn't overcharger pretty good now

hollow stone
#

I would likely run dice n spyglass

onyx rock
#

In patchwork you need to sim. If you macro it to vendetta it can be a very strong trinket.

hollow stone
#

I find them both very strong for m+ and personal pref puts them over gcb (for m+)

spark grail
#

i personally hate boon and dont feel the power of it when i use it

#

yeh i burst for like 32k with glad badge and that was when it was 350

Nah. In a true patchwerk fight (like taloc), gcb > badge if same ilvl

#

Straight up

opaque grotto

gcb is very powerful

untold cargo

isnt gcb better for exsan

hollow stone
#

Better than it is with tb. But its still extremely strong for tb too

opaque grotto

even with tb it's very good

spice surge

Yes its the best trinket for exsang and "only" one of the best trinkets with tb

untold cargo

construct overcharger sims really well now

Yea. The buff they did made it way better

untold cargo

especially since 385 is easy to get

hollow stone
#

Thank god, my 390 socketed overcharger was rotting in my bags pre-buff

spark grail
#

yeh ofc if i have like a 390 overcharger thats better than them all

untold cargo
#

you never want to take TB with CT right

#

it only synergizes with PB

#

and env

#

so CT is always with exsang

spice surge
#

CT vs PB isnt tied to other talents at all

spark grail
#

rofl my spyglass sims 4 damage higher than badge

#

my boon 50 damage higher

spice surge
#

Sure pb does slightly more damage if it proccs during tb, but its not very significant. And you dont care about using exsang on CT

untold cargo
#

But TB increases poison damage so if you are in cleave with CT what does it even do

spice surge
#

PB is for low target counts and CT for high target counts

#

?

#

both exsang and tb are st

untold cargo
#

but exsang atleast feeds you energy for cleave

#

so if you run TB with CT you just dont use it at all unless theres like 1 random mob with high hp left

#

or a boss fight obv

spark grail
#

i cant stand using CT always have more consistency with PB but i'm used to PB maybe

untold cargo
#

same but this week PB feels crap in m+

#

bc of necrotic kiting

spark grail
#

yeh PB sucks this week for sure, just feels so much more satisfying when you get a fat PB in 3 mobs

untold cargo
#

in tb window

#

kreygasm

#

@spice surge so basically you ignore Exsang and TB in 3+ when running CT

#

not worth the energy vs just spamming CT

dark crag
#

Ct spam at 5+ targets?

untold cargo

damn it really takes 5 to pay off

Guys, what do you think of running the d-e spyglass/dice instead of gcb/dice on high m+ this week , to have a high crit and not to be tied to one place ? Or having a on-demand trinket is necessary? I run with exsg build and 2 ss, if it's matters

#

High m+ for me is 14-15+ )

strange python
#

ughhh

#

Depends what ilvl ur trinkets are

fleet acorn
#

All 380

strange python
fleet acorn
#

Seen it , but I feel like having to stick to one place kinda diminishes the benefits from gcb

#

And that's why I ask

#

Small area

strange python
#

GCB is still strong even if u can only use exsang while in the buff

fleet acorn
#

I don't want to have a trinket and not use it obviously

#

Oh, ok

#

Just for snapshot

#

Thx guys

untold cargo
#

where can i find good info on snapshotting and how haste affects dots

#

cant find it anywhere

spice surge
#

Haste affects dots the same way for every class

#

The only thing that snapshots stats is the haste when you exsang (because speeding up the ticks of a dynamic dot wasnt something they wanted for some reason)

marble hemlock
#

you want to play spyglass almost every dungeon/week

#

its the best m+ trinket

untold cargo
#

the spyglass with the active or passive, bc the passive seems doo doo for cleave

#

the one from siege.

spice surge
#

The passive one

#

Why would it seem bad? Attacking the same target 5 times is done superfast

#

Its basicly just a crit procc

untold cargo
#

i dunno bc it procs randomly

#

what if it procs on a low hp mob

#

why not take overcharger, consistent high agi and haste

spice surge
#

The crit isnt removed if the target dies

#

Or you hit anything else

untold cargo
#

thats true

spice surge
#

and haste is bad for aoe

untold cargo
#

do bleed ticks proc it

#

The Trink Debuff

spice surge

The debuff is fairly irrelevant, you get the full stacks so fast anyway

@strange python Yeah tested it out for sub aswell. Seems that Vanish isn't activating Subterfuge atm =/.

marble hemlock
#

regarding spyglass, every fok hit grants a stack, so does CT or autoattacks

#

you basically get the 5stacks in a matter of a few seconds

quaint flare
twilit elk
#

Can you guys give me a run down of what you do on a typical pull on m+ 10 key. With 3+ targets. 3-4 garottes then tempest? Then ruptured in between for energy? Then spam fok to build cp

#

?

cosmic pier
#

3x garrote, rupture (tempest first if adds will die fast), then tempest, 2x more rupture

#

maintain ruptures and tempest, throw out a garrote when if off cd if it doesnt eat into your other priorities

#

and yes, fok to build cp. always cast finishers at 4+, unless the target is dying soon (<10 secs)

lethal heart
#

after 3x garrote if specced into Ct your 1st finisher should always be CT

that opener is strange

garr - mut - rup - mut? why?

why is that so strange

normal spear
#

and you garr only once during vanish

#

coz he's running 1x SS + subterfuge + TB

fleet whale

maybe he likes the guranteed 5 cp rupture, and the mut after it is to build more cps to enter into his TB/vendetta window i guess

normal spear

there's a set opener for this build

its wrong though

he asked for someone to check it 😄

he loses buffed garrote total time

I mean, it's not a bad log either. Depending on how/when you swap rooms and do the opener correctly then it'll probably improve

he is doing the opener wrong still

Did you read what i wrote?

vapid moth

Why should I garrote more than once in vanish?

velvet kernel

so its longer

normal spear

coz pandemic

Extend the buffed one to max

normal spear

it lasts longer

vapid moth

Im already making use of pandemic though. The boss was garrote before

velvet kernel

and

#

there is no harm

#

and it builds cp

#

its 3 guaranteed cp instead of a mutilate

#

which might just be 2

vapid moth

Most of the time I cant make use of the third one though

velvet kernel
#

you do it twice

#

not 3 times

vapid moth

Third cp

velvet kernel

why?

this is not an "opinion thing", you're not doing an optimal opener and vanish usage

velvet kernel

^^

normal spear
#

the end.

vapid moth
#

Alright

#

Anything else?

quasi ledge
#

I mean, without Exang, if he's got Garrote already up when he Vanishes it's a waste Garroting twice

velvet kernel
#

ez way to find this out

vapid moth
#

I really dont see the point in using garrote twice on the vanish. Its already at max duration if you made use of pandemic

velvet kernel
#

the api does it

#

there we go

#

sorted

normal spear
#

wait what? how is it max duration if you use it once?

velvet kernel
#

it will never be unless he times it perfectly

quasi ledge
#

If it's his 2nd Vanish, Garrote will already be on the target unless it lines up "perfectly" and runs out just before

vapid moth
#

If you already have a garrote up and you use another one with pandemic it should be max duration

velvet kernel
#

legit

#

this is so dumb

#

this is not opinion

#

like dsj said

#

its facts

normal spear
#

your empowered overwrites old garrote

vapid moth
#

I'm not opinionating I'm asking for a fucking explanation

normal spear
#

it doesn't add up

civic palm
#

oi chill

#

The API is going to cast G G after Vanish outside of the opener because Garrote otherwise would not be at maximum duration.

velvet kernel
#

the api casts G envenom G

#

not gg

#

well i guess thats cause it mutilates before vanish

normal spear
#

first garrote is 18 sec. the second usage make it 23 secs long

#

23 > 18

vapid moth
#

So by garrote twice you meant garrote, evenom garrote?

civic palm
#

it can cast whatever it needs to between the two Garrotes.

#

needs to not wants*

vapid moth
#

So when you vanish and garrote even if you still had time on the old garrote the new one will be 18 seconds?

normal spear
#

it overwrites it

#

completely

civic palm
#

be more specific, otherwise you get misunderstandings.

vapid moth
#

Yes pls

quasi ledge
#

No, as long as it had ~5 seconds left on it it'll be 18 seconds + time left

icy ember
#

so does that bug w/shrouded suffocation still exist? where you cant refresh it until it fades

velvet kernel
#

or just take the fact that its better

civic palm
#

@icy ember No.

velvet kernel
#

lol

icy ember
#

so it won't break anything if i refresh a garrote before it fades

normal spear
#

no, you're safe)

vapid moth
#

What does overwrite mean. Cause from what I understood before it just had to do with damage not timers

civic palm
#

The bug prior removed empowerments from EMPOWERED garrotes when you Garroted a fourth target or when you were outside of an EMPOWERMENT window.

quasi ledge
#

It'll overwrite the "normal" Garrote if it's already up, make it empowered, and extend the duration if there was any left

icy ember
#

so now it doesn't remove the EMPOWERED part of the garrote, and will continue ticking the rest of its 5-12 seconds or whatever

civic palm
#

So long you do not cast a normal garrote on a target with an empowered garrote.

#

All good 👌

vapid moth
#

So we basically garrote twice for an extra second of buffed garrote

civic palm
#

Should be ~5 seconds.

quasi ledge
#

On the opener you get an extra 5 seconds

strange python
#

hes on about doing it with pandemic garrote from unbuffed one

normal spear
#

the thing is: you use your first vanish when your initial empowered garrote fades out. you G-G to make garrote 23 secs long. the next time you use vanish when it's off CD. your empowered garrote will overwrite you normal garrote (and be 18 secs), and then you use it 2nd time (23 secs)

normal and empowered garrotes don't add up. never

vapid moth
#

Alright

strange python
#

really?

normal spear
#

there is no pandemic between them

vapid moth
#

Ty now I get it

civic palm
#

mmm

strange python
#

my timer says there is

normal spear
#

hmmmm

#

maybe i'm wrong about overwriting normal ones

quasi ledge
#

Yeah, that's completely wrong

strange python
#

lmfao

civic palm
#

Empowering Garrote doesn't modify it's spellID, there no reason it should not take the timer...

#

So...

#

BE SPECIFIC

strange python
#

@normal spear clap

velvet kernel
#

Its more like

#

you are going to let the opener garrote fall off no?

dense blaze
#

Are we saying that if I cast garrote after vanish on a target with regular garrote the timer won't add up for 23 secs for empowered?

#

lmfao

velvet kernel
#

to get max uptime on empowerment

dense blaze
#

That is so wrong

#

You have no idea what you're talking about

normal spear
#

yes, i checked that part. i was completely wrong

civic palm
#

uhhuh

strange python
#

i love how you were so sure of yourself

velvet kernel
#

lol

strange python
#

with the .never.

civic palm
#

All being said you shouldn't even be overwriting Empowered Garrotes with a normal one, for any amount of time.

velvet kernel
#

cba trying to help him here

#

tiem for dm's

quasi ledge
#

That's not the issue we were discussing. It's when a "normal" Garrote is already up, Vanish/Vendetta come back up and you Vanish Garrote

civic palm
#

unless you are leaving the target and the garrote will fade before you return

quasi ledge
#

Kinda pointless Garroting twice as the 2nd won't add any duration and will waste at least 1 combo point

velvet kernel
#

the api says to do it so go it

#

lmao

#

shit api ?

#

kk

dense blaze
#

Your first reaction is that the API does it because empowerd wouldn't stack on normal timer?

civic palm
#

The API would have been written in a way that they tested not doing the second Garrote on a target with a rolling Garrote already.

quasi ledge
#

Ok? And you were agreeing with dsj 5 minutes ago

civic palm
#

As this double garrote business was brought up weeks into the expansion.

velvet kernel
#

@dense blaze you talking to me ? 😄

dense blaze
#

Who are you

velvet kernel
#

?

#

lmao

strange python
#

@normal spear definitely correct

normal spear
#

i was wrong about only 1 part: i didn't know about garrotes sharing pandemic and should have checked it before giving an advice

velvet kernel
#

dont listen to him

normal spear
#

but what i said about opener and 1st vanish is true

tribal marlin
#

Last time I checked APL only do 1 garrote (overwriting a normal garrote) after vanish

#

something like Vanish ->garrote -> Vendetta -> rupture -> exsang

spice surge
#

Doing 1vs2 garrote from vanish doesn't matter as long as you get a full garrote of it

civic palm
#

...

#

leaves

spice surge
#

I mean yes it's better to only do one

#

But the difference is so minor and people fuck it up so its better to say do 2

tribal marlin
#

yes sure

#

especially if you do like g -> finisher -> g you get 1 more tick and don't waste 3cp so

civic palm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

acoustic atlas
#

For multi target M+ is there a break point or something for haste when I can just start dumping everything else into mastery?

wary anchor
#

Any good tricks macro?

sacred flint
#

i just do hover or focus

worn cloak
#

[@mouseover][@focus]

flint swift
#

Yeah I just do focus for tricks

strange python
#

thx for tip for assin

tribal marlin
#

Hey ! Is someone can help me ? I want to know if it is possible to display stat weight from an advanced simulation on raidbot

#

!m+

prisma monolithBOT

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"```

ok I guess i'll try this 😄

twilit elk
#

Is askmrrobot broken when it comes to BiS lists?

nimble tartan
#

its broken in regards to everything kkona

twilit elk
#

What does double garrote do from stealth?

#

I play TB rite now but I’d like to learn ins and outs of exang

strange python
#

You get the maximum duration out of it with pandemic

twilit elk
#

So the guide on Ravenholdt that says garrote rupture garrote is ideal to start a fight. Then rebuild combos to put full rupture up with vendetta

#

And basically vanish is just used to keep up empowered garrote. So use it on cd

#

I’m rather new to playing rogue so just trying to get the quirks to improve down

untold cargo
#

do you guys ever use envenom in cleave

#

if you have CT

#

im just not getting this shit

sturdy python
#

Depends how many targets

untold cargo
#

4

#

energy for days

sturdy python
#

Then if rups and CT is up youd envenom

untold cargo
#

but how is that more dps than just spamming CT

#

its driving me nuts

#

4 x 21% attack power > 80% attack power

sturdy python
#

Spamming CT is only a dps gain if the initial damage is more than envenoms

#

Envenom also increases poison damage and proc chance

untold cargo
#

thats only like 500 damage if it applicates

sturdy python
#

To all 4 targets?

untold cargo
#

500 per

sturdy python
#

Yes, thats a lot

#

pretty sure 5 targets is when you spam CT, not 100 on that though

untold cargo
#

2.7k CT vs 10k

#

ahh

#

that does make sense

sturdy python
#

Also note envenom is going to help bring down a prio mob faster

untold cargo
#

yea thats for sure

dark crag
#

If the target count is almost equal with ct and envenom you can ct while the envenom buff is running

untold cargo
#

good point

dark crag
#

In the end we have to many factors, direct dmg, poison applications, fok crits

#

Does ct bleed trigger venomous wounds? I know the bleed from kidney does but ct would be too op

untold cargo
#

just realizing you have to do atleast 2 FoK to get 4/5 combo points

#

which makes envenom window even stronger

sturdy python
#

No CT doesnt

#

I checked after realizing IB did when specced

dark crag
#

That change comes with 8.2 when sub gets removed

sturdy python
#

Lol

#

Just make rogue sin only

dark crag
#

I mean sub becomes the shadowhunter range spec

untold cargo
#

im actually tempted to write some kind of equation for this cleave shit

#

all the variables are defined, would just have to plug in the # of targets

dark crag
#

What if the poisons would have procced even without envenom buff?

untold cargo
#

its a %

#

its 50% without envenom window 80% with

#

removes all the variability

glass plank
#

Is it better to have have a 345 with SS or a 375 with Archive, with that 345 i got my 3rd SS

sturdy python
#

Probably archive. Absolutely if we are talking about raid

#

Can sim this to maybe confirm

bleak spoke
#

do we run ct in dungeons over poison bomb

untold cargo
#

depends is what i hear

#

this weak since tanks are kiting alot poison bomb sucks bc nothing ever stands in it

#

week*

bleak spoke
#

will ct do more in a big aoe pull?

untold cargo
#

then it depends how long they live

#

so in a super high key yes bc of the dot

#

if the mobs die fast PB will be better bc it does its damage over 2 seconds not 12

#

so its a factor of if they are standing in the PB and how long they will live

bleak spoke
#

ite thanks 😃

primal gazelle
#

i dont agree with using envenom on 4+ packs

#

you do more overall dmg using ct

primal gazelle
#

the only dungeon id take PB is on kingsrest on tyrannical weeks but thats it

untold cargo
#

so if anyone is interested i made a formula for the whole envenom vs ct during cleave thing

#

at 5+ targets it becomes exponentially worse to use envenom over crimson tempest

#

even if you just refreshed CT

civic palm
#

Yep.

untold cargo
#

so yea i guess the final answer is use CT on 2+ targets if they will live long enough for the bleed, and only refresh CT early if there are atleast 5 targets, otherwise envenom.

civic palm
#

or Rupture, should probably have 1 Scent.

#

But if you don't.

#

Sure.

untold cargo
#

yea no scent for me atleast

untold cargo
#

still trying to find out why exsanguinate is better in any situation

#

wont sim higher for me in any scenario

civic palm
#

with or without a Galecallers?

untold cargo
#

no galecallers yet

civic palm
#

_>" well

#

It's also good when cheesing as bosses tend to not last very long and the phatter burst you can generate the better.

#

Even without a Galecallers.

untold cargo
#

trying to figure out my m+ cleave

#

somehow TB sims better by 3%

#

dont even know how the sim is using it

#

its not like ill be spamming envenoms

sturdy python
#

Look at the APL, it might be spamming envenoms

untold cargo
#

APL this sounds good

#

is this only in the app

sturdy python
#

You can see it on raidbots yeah, not too versed in how though

#

HTML report maybe>

untold cargo
#

omg

#

'full html report'

#

this changes everything

primal gazelle
#

youre like a few years late on that option

#

😛

untold cargo
#

im a new player anyway 😄

#

turning into a crazy min maxer fast

#

interesting its only avging 3.5 envenoms per 2 minutes

#

but almost 5 toxic blades

neat haven
#

am i crazy for thinking of using wound poison on fetid?

sturdy python
#

From what others have said it doesnt work

neat haven
