What im trying to say is, pbs dmg on first boss is not what makes or break the dungeon in almost every situation

civic thorn
#

Have you never had a 1% wipes when you just start dying to casts cause youre out of interrupts

#

And cloak/deter/whatever

ruby idol
#

Ya in a key that was higher than we were gonna complete anyway, or because we scuffed kicks

#

Not because i didnt have pb

#

I was in the ur pb camp for a long time

civic thorn
#

I feel like you underestimate the generosity of nerfed timer

ruby idol
#

But then i evolved

#

I mean sure the timers generous, but ct is more likely to help you make the timer than pb is in my opinion

civic thorn
#

There's no denying ct wins in total by a large margin

distant hinge
#

What stats for Exang rogue? same as TB?

#

generally

#

high crit?

glacial steppe
#

Anyone here played Zul as Sin already and give a few impressions?

pastel wasp
#

dont do it

distant hinge
#

SUb or die

pastel wasp
#

ive played both

glacial steppe
#

Well I have to next ID because Sub wont be in the game anymore :^)

pastel wasp
#

well

#

if u like big numbers stick to sub

sturdy python
#

Sub won't be doing big numbers though! Not like now anyway

glacial steppe
#

My highest crit so far was 196k

#

-40%

#

yikes

elder quarry
#

anyone have issues shadowstepping to monk statues on left side on m g'huun?

molten moon
#

whats a good crit for M+?

#

im stuck at 22%

pastel wasp
#

wheres this sub change

#

oh

#

PTR

fierce sinew
dense blaze
#

Using SS and garroting into a mutilate into a rupture

spice surge
#

Poor uptime on rupture and garrote

#

Not using toxic blade near cooldown means you miss out on a lot of casts

fierce sinew
#

Rupture and garrote aren't on boss during elevator phase

dense blaze
#

His uptime is fine

spice surge
#

Im not looking at elevator phase

fierce sinew
#

Cooldown of what though?

spice surge
#

Last phase your uptime is 83% and 77% respectively

#

Toxic blade

fierce sinew
#

In terms of gear how is that looking

#

Been farming for new trinkets from mythics but no luck so far

civic palm
#

0 sockets O _O"

fierce sinew
#

Well I can't do much about that lol

dense blaze
#

27 haste enchant

#

Stop being poor

fierce sinew
#

10 haste is going to be minimal thoughl lol

round harbor
#

@dense blaze 👋

spice surge
#

I mean, playing well will give you more damage than a trinket will

fierce sinew
#

I mostly am interested in rotation advice and stuff I guess

civic palm
#

Especially considering he has decent trinkets.

dense blaze
#

Get the 37 haste

fierce sinew
#

will do

#

Is it mostly my uptime on my dots that is the problem?

civic palm
#

and yeah Rupture and Garrote uptimes are low.

dense blaze
#

Explain this

spice surge
#

You're barrely using TB either

dense blaze
#

Using one SS

round harbor
#

Oof

#

That's a decent no SS opener

fierce sinew
#

I mean it's possible I was running away from boss during phase 3

#

oh I see

#

that is my opener

dense blaze
#

Mhmm

round harbor
#

It's wrong

fierce sinew
#

Well I actually got a piece with SS

spice surge
#

For example, over the course of your taloc kill (not counting the elevator) you missed out on 3 casts of tb

#

7 casts of tb instead of 10

round harbor
#

Vanish windows should always be g (x) g

fierce sinew
#

I see, well I only ever didn't get the debuff once in phase 3 so it's possible I missed a few trying to get some space

dense blaze
#

I got 9 TB casts on a 4:09 kill, you got 9 on a 5:20 kill

round harbor
#

If possible

fierce sinew
#

ok i'll work on that

#

when is the best time to use TB, someone said to go mutilate TB mutilate envenom to get an extra envenom?

spice surge
#

On CD

round harbor
#

On cd

fierce sinew
#

ok

round harbor
#

Just try and get two envms out during it

#

Not the end of the world if you dont

fierce sinew
#

Do you use your finishers when you are at 4 cp?

spice surge
#

Yes

fierce sinew
#

okay cool

dense blaze
#

You can get three

#

Got a second to reapply rupture

round harbor
#

Three is tight and more minmaxxy with globals n energy

fierce sinew
#

okay

dense blaze
#

Which he does do

round harbor
#

If he missing the casts, three is the next level ofastery

fierce sinew
#

well it's something to aspire to lol

#

so essentially I just need more uptime on boss and to use TB on cooldown?

dense blaze
#

Always

round harbor
#

Without looking EB is also very important to manage

spice surge
#

Its not really though, comparetively

#

But yes, work on uptimes and using TB on cd

fierce sinew
#

eb?

spice surge
#

Since if you hold it for 5 seconds, then you lose a cast every 5:th cast

keen belfry
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
spice surge
#

Elaborate planning, talent in the top row

fierce sinew
#

Does that put a buff on you? I could weakaura it to help me manage

round harbor
#

You should def have a wa for it

spice surge
#

It barrely matters compared to the other things we mentioned though

#

So dont fret too much about it

round harbor
#

Eh

fierce sinew
#

Okay. So... better uptime on garrote and rupture on boss. Use TB on cd. Manage EP better. Anything else?

round harbor
#

X% dmg on a finisher is pretty important

#

Imo

spice surge
#

Point being that most of the time you doit without caring about the buff

round harbor
#

Keeping dots empowered for Max uptime isnnice

#

Yeah

spice surge
#

Im not saying playing around it isnt worth it

round harbor
#

But tracking it to clip the last millisecond is valueable

spice surge
#

Im saying its minor

fierce sinew
#

So if I use a rupture with ep up it keeps the bonus damage even when the EP buff drops?

spice surge
#

No

fierce sinew
#

Oh okay I figured

#

So I should try and use more envenoms with ep up?

spice surge
#

Try to use it when it has low duration left (so like 0.2s) instead of when it has 1s left

#

To essentially make it last longer

#

(provided you wont cap energy, but you wont most of the time)

fierce sinew
#

Oh I see, because envenoms gives a buff so u should maximize that

spice surge
#

Envenom uptime gets taken care of if you do the EP uptime properly

fierce sinew
#

Okay, i'll weakaura it to help me keep track

#

Thanks for the advice everyone it was very helpful

glacial steppe
#

funny contrast: someone at balance discord asked for vectis advise

#

best answer was "hit add"

heady marsh
#

I still can't figure out either 2xDD or 1xDD 1xSS, using TB

pastel wasp
#

im so used to having SS

#

with TB

#

lol

#

but i think 2DD is better

strange python
#

SIM IT

heady marsh
#

is there a basic guide to sims?

strange python
#

!sim

ancient mistBOT
strange python
#

Google how to sim

#

😃

heady marsh
#

Thanks

paper heron
#

Doesn’t ss sim poorly?

#

I saw musclebrah was running a 345 piece just to have 3x

spice surge
#

it does not

#

You wouldnt run a 345 ss on ST

#

for m+ its different

paper heron
#

Yeah I get it’s for m+ I just thought it would aim much worse than it performs . I dunno I guess I remember reading that somewhere but have no idea where or if it’s credible

pastel wasp
#

i think having 1 SS is good for raids

velvet kernel
#

It’s good for making the rotation nicer

#

But not for anything else really

pastel wasp
#

yea

#

considering most bosses have adds

#

good for that too

#

dunno, i dont get good azurite pieces so

runic oyster
#

So we use 1 ss for raids what is our other?

#

double dose?

pastel wasp
#

whichever you have that sims higher

runic oyster
#

all I have atm is 2 ss im working on getting other pieces

pastel wasp
#

normally 1 archive/lazer for array

#

and DD

#

if 2 SS all you have

#

then thats all you can use

#

it still works

spare nebula
#

Any sin rogues here in the back half of running orbs (the one who dunks it)? We dont have 4 locks so there is no lock portal from when i shadowstep up to a monk statue and im having issues getting to the end before im rooted (mythic btw)

#

would lvoe some pointers

spice surge
#

Having the portal for the last dunkers is typically better than for the first people

#

If you cant have both

pastel wasp
#

im doing the back half

#

and unless ur running sub, its not easy

#

do they help clear the path?

spare nebula
#

its a holy priest going with me

pastel wasp
#

uhhh

#

that aint optimal

#

lol

spare nebula
#

yeah such is life

#

trying to optimize a bit

#

but was just wondering if smeone was in my position and successful

#

i can play around with it a bit more

pastel wasp
#

i guess you just need to pass it back and forth more

spare nebula
#

i think if i have my thrower wait a couple seconds ss comes off cd faster

#

and ill have some time left befdore im rooted to shadowstep and walk toward the thing

coarse carbon
#

I run back half of orbs but am paired with a boomy. I just spam FoK as I run it. He gates, leaps, then tosses to me halfway while throwing out dots.

spare nebula
#

yeah the key there is the leap

coarse carbon
#

Holy priest sounds terrible tbh. Suggest a mage or boomy go with you. Even a hunter.

spare nebula
#

werd

coarse carbon
#

The boomy and I dunk in <18sec every time.

pastel wasp
#

u just hope the other side is fast too

#

lol

coarse carbon
#

They are, DH

near hound
#

he's terrible

#

he's making excuses

#

i'm waiting an hour at the thing for him

pastel wasp
#

yea

near hound
#

mfw rogue can't make it

pastel wasp
#

DH/warrior makes it easy

spare nebula
#

fuck you @near hound

#

im handicapped

coarse carbon
#

Well this just got hostile.

spare nebula
#

hes in my guild

#

being a troll

near hound
#

it's sexual tension

coarse carbon
#

HPriest is the last person I’d want to duo an orb with. Might as well send 3.

spare nebula
#

hahaha

#

yeah i think we're going to optimize, but we have like 9 min left

#

and i wanna see if i can get it >:[

coarse carbon
#

Gotta take the DPS meter pride out of it. Almost anyone is significantly better than HPriest.

#

Just have them stop being stubborn and do the task, you’ll get the kill.

near hound
#

we did it that time, i just had to wait 18 seconds for him

spare nebula
#

diaf

near hound
#

it could have been less

#

i was using one one thousand method

#

not accurate

spare nebula
#

@coarse carbon yeah if we werent literally ending raid in one more pull i would have insisted ha

pastel wasp
#

so

#

u running to the end

#

after hpriest takes gate and gives to you?

#

im assuming ure sin and only have 1 step to get up on statue

#

!ghuun

spare nebula
#

yes

#

correct

pastel wasp
#

yea.... have fun

#

😃

west cove
#

what are some good traits for M+ ?

velvet kernel
#

@spare nebula i have a tip, your guild is dumb

civic palm
#

Shrouded Suffocation, Scent of Blood, Archive,

grizzled jay
#

Triple laser matrix imo

velvet kernel
#

but for real you are not going to be able to do that especially with having to use ss to get to the statue

civic palm
#

0 Laser Matrix

spare nebula
#

@velvet kernel yeah we're changing it for next raid

#

but i did end up being able to do it

velvet kernel
#

you need both portals to be from mid to the end

#

that is much better when you only have access to two

unique junco
#

Hi there - do you have any experience on which doungeons it's worth to play crimson tempest>poison bomb ? ;)

civic palm
#

If the dungeon consistently allows the tank pull near 5 targets on average CT is more than likely worth it.

unique junco
#

Yeah but I mean which exactly doungeons :d

civic palm
#

Depends on target #/etc.

#

Temple and KR are low average pulls. But even in those dungeons if the keys are low enough there's a decent chance that you group might be able to do larger pulls, making CT worth it again.

#

Context is important.

civic palm
#

No.

marsh bloom
#

no what?

#

a 340 ss beats my 390 meticulous scheming

#

ridiculous

civic palm
#

In... what kind of scenario?

marsh bloom
#

6 targets 40 sec

#

1.8% more damage

civic palm
#

k

patent topaz
#

10% wiperino on ghuun, gonna get him next raid. Or maybe not because its on monday and people will forget stuff

civic palm
#

gogogo

#

Rest tends to settle knowledge.

#

If people have to ask for a refresher the next attempt they weren't interested in the beginning.

patent topaz
#

we are still getting mcs during p2

#

orb runs are good unless solos get rooted which is the most common wipe cause I think

main flicker
#

Heyo, so i'm curious to what is the best stats for M+ ? Currently im running Crit/Haste but i hear many say Crit/Mastery am i missing something or?

civic palm
#

Nope.

marble hemlock
#

crit+mastery to optimize aoe damage

green saffron
main flicker
#

How come i do way less damage in packs and such then?

mortal finch
#

Should I put mast over crit or crit over mast?
And what % should I have haste?

(Single target)

marble hemlock
#

if you mean m+ with MD+, then yes, exsanguiante in every singel dungeon

main flicker
#

So i want to stack Crit and Mastery for M+ even on this week where ST is more important?

prisma smelt
#

!m+

prisma monolithBOT
#

Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.

main flicker
#

I sim 19480 in a Dungeon Slice sim is that decent or? I am so confused about stats atm its insane, i hear diffrently eveywhere

marble hemlock
#

the dungeon sim isnt necessarily what you should sim for for statweights, since it tries to emulate an entire dungeon, including b osses, whereas we generally optimize our gear for trash and not bosses

main flicker
#

First time i used it now ^^

civic palm
#

Yeah, just remember;

marble hemlock
#

if you wanna go for a jack of all trades approach, the m+ sim is very helpful

civic palm
#

Haste is only good until you're energy capped and need scaling for damage elsewhere.

main flicker
#

I just wanna optimize my dps output since i recently started to do higher keys.

civic palm
#

and in 3+ target situations you will get to that point a lot.

#

~10% Haste, Crit + Mastery

marble hemlock
#

~10% haste/28-30% crit, 30-40% mastery are decent values

main flicker
#

This is my stats and such atm 22% crit 16% haste and 26% mastery

marble hemlock
#

you need more crit

#

way more

main flicker
#

I have gear for that

#

I have like 30 pieces in my bag xD

#

Since i heard so many different stat prios i just saved everything

marble hemlock
#

drop the haste, get more crit, until youre at like ~28% crit or so (theres no cap at 28% or anything, just a suggestion)

#

and then you can get some haste

main flicker
#

Mastery?

marble hemlock
#

if you can get crit+mastery items, yeah

main flicker
#

I can probably change that when i get home.

marble hemlock
#

if you cant, crit > mastery until you get to a point where you have some decent CP gen

civic palm
#

In high density situations you want FoK to give you 4-5CP as often as you can, so Crit gains a ton of weight.

marble hemlock
#

id settle for not getting 1cp 😄

civic palm
#

Tru

#

Scent weight also increases the faster you can get the Rupture onto targets.

marble hemlock
#

but yeah, crit directly translates into the amount of CP you generate via sealfate, which directly translates into your energy generation on aoe by allowing you to spend those CP on more ruptures

#

and more energy = more foks = more cp = more rupture = more energy

main flicker
#

Fair enough. I'll check my gear when i get home change some shit up and se where i end up. Also, what 100 talent is the best to use? I've only used Poison bomb but i hear crimson tempest is great.

marble hemlock
#

i think you see what i mean 😃

#

with your gear, which im gonna assume is ~365ish

#

id go PB

civic palm
#

PBomb if you are not good with CT, CT if you want to do as much as you can in a dungeon where you are getting ~5 mobs on average per pull.

marble hemlock
#

CT is an option in dungeons where you do bigger trashpulls on a regular basis, and when you generate enough resources to maintain it without losing uptimes on more important stuff

civic palm
#

PBomb is a very safe choice.

main flicker
#

Ehh im 380

marble hemlock
#

hm

main flicker
#

Like i know how to play

#

I'm just not sure about stats

marble hemlock
#

ye

main flicker
#

Since i recently rolled rogue for M+

marble hemlock
#

just drop the haste

#

its not good, even on tyrannical you spend a majority of the time doing trash

civic palm
#

Yeah.

main flicker
#

Fair enough. Thx for the info 😄 So for m+ what trinket do i want? I have the dice 380

#

The other one sucks

marble hemlock
#

dice is good

#

spyglass is bis

#

agi/vers on use trinkets are fine choices too, so is galecallers (albeit a lot harder to use since you need to predict mob/boss movement)

main flicker
#

Ill just farm the SOB trinket then i guess

#

Aight hopefully this should help bump my dps up abit :) We are trying to do 15+ and Up atm ^^

crude bay
#

What i enjoy about galecallers is the initial haste on a pack, since you don’t have as many bleeds up to generate energy. Esp if you know how your tank plays and when he starts moving and where

#

Think my assa gear has 3.5% haste but galecallers

main flicker
#

I mean u get 3/4 garrotes and 2 raputers almost instantly

crude bay
#

It all depends on what gear you have available ofc

marsh bloom
#

Is Assassination changing really at all?

civic palm
#

no

#

Well

#

Maybe

#

For M+

marsh bloom
#

o:

main flicker
#

In what way?

civic palm
#

Won't speculate until numbers are off test servers.

main flicker
#

I mean what skill and such will change

#

Like i said befor i rerolled to rogue 2 and ½ week ago i have no clue about stuff like this xD

civic palm
#

No skills are changing.

main flicker
#

Ah

#

ok fair enough

Is vanish garrote still triggering garrote cd on PTR?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

obtuse island
#

Somewhere down the line I am messing up, I feel like I should be putting out way more dps then I am. Can I link someone a log of my raid lastnight, hopefully someone can point out a few mistakes

nimble tartan
#

Link it

obtuse island
#

Ashtag is my character

nimble tartan
#

Low garr uptime compared to the other rogues

#

Really low uptime on boss

#

Another rogue had like 11% more active on taloc just make sure youre always doing something watch your bleed timers

obtuse island
#

By uptime do you mean being in auto attack range? Or using an ability?

#

Ah ability then

smoky fiber
#

auto attack range too

obtuse island
#

Okay I’ll try make me WA’s a little bigger

marsh bloom
#

Is it ok to go TB/PB for Tyhranical?

#

or do we still go Exsg even on Tyranical

nimble tartan
#

Missed a lot of tb casts as well ash

#

Other rogue had 7 u had 4

#

Just make sure u use that on cd

#

Be more aggressive on boss and just make ur was bigger so u can see ur cds

obtuse island
#

Yeah I was expecting you to say TB, I changed from Exang not that long ago, getting used to the shorted CD

#

Cheers for your help 👌🏻 I think my WA’s need to be abit bigger for sure

#

Stupid question, but I should pool energy for TB?

nimble tartan
#

Ideally

obtuse island
#

I feel like it’s a waste of I pop it at low energy

#

If*

marsh bloom
#

Is it ok if I go ct on tyranical?

bronze kelp
#

depends on the dungeon i guess

#

ct has no benefit on bossfights so you want PB for more boss dmg. but ct has a higher value on trash if you do big pulls

#

if you only pull 2-4 packs, PB is slightly more worth then CT

slim drum
#

Main stats for Assa Rogue?

main flicker
#

@marble hemlock managed to get to 27% crit 10.88% haste and 32.44% mastery should be better right?

marble hemlock
#

ye

main flicker
#

I can reenchant my rings away from haste to crit tho

unique junco
#

Do u use anty sort of wa to track all your bleeds and poisons?

normal spear
#

of course

marsh bloom
#

When I gear compare my 390 meticulous scheming vs the 355 SS the 390 sims .9% more when put into the dungeon sim but 4% less when put into 6 targets 40 seconds

#

so which one do I equip lol

normal spear
#

none of those sims are a perfect representation, but i'd imaging dungeon slice to be more accurate

marsh bloom
#

But like next week

normal spear
#

6t40sec if a pure aoe setup, isn't it? so SS is pretty good there, but dungeon slice also includes a boss fight, so 390 is better on pure ST (maybe i'm wrong)

marsh bloom
#

6 targets 40 seconds is gonna be pretty good right? for fortified

#

next week is teeming as well

unique junco
#

Guys is there a build for tyrranical weeks and forti?

#

I mean

#

On forti u can have exan +pb or exan +ct

#

But what about tyrranical weeks?

cosmic pier
#

i personally play 2 ss 1 sob and then play whatever sims highest ST

#

since bosses take some fucking work

#

also in my group, i stick to boss if adds would spawn, since sin does pretty meaty ST

cyan zephyr
#

I'm currently 20.97 crit, 20.13 haste, 32.68 mastery with shrouded, dagger in the back, and double dose. Should i try to pump crit higher?

#

Sim your stat weights and you'll find out

strange python
#

!m+

prisma monolithBOT
#

Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.

cyan zephyr
#

i'm using simc and it's putting a slightly higher weight on crit...but it's a single target fight

#

guess i'll go higher crit and it should help even more in mythic plus

#

didn't know simc had multi options

#

thanks so much

astral gyro
#

whats our weapon enchants supposed to be?

Your 2 highest sim stats

With the changes coming to sub with 8.1 will sin pull ahead of sub on M zul?

@vapid moth

oof

you want to garrote twice after vanish to get the most possible time on empowered garrote

vapid moth
#

i was gonna but ran outta energy for the second one :/

#

Depends though, if you're pandemicing the previous garrote you don't need to

try to pool a bit before you tb to actually be able to squeeze in 2-3 envenom

ocean rune
#

In your opinion, is Double Dose or Shrouded Suffocation the better trait?

wary ice
#

THey do different things

#

SS is better in that its more applicable in different situations

#

Apples to oranges though

plain topaz
#

so im testing out sin a bit but i feel very energy starved, actually worse than with sub, im at 19% haste, is that the usual?

#

also, any rules for when to exsang or tb? more specific, what bosses to use what talent?

storm pumice
#

Sim

#

TB is better for a sustained dps output in general

#

Exsan with Shrouded Suffocation + Subterfuge offers insane burst over a window of 10 seconds

#

On fights such as Mythrax this is very helpful when you want to just nuke the shit out of Xalzaix to get him out of the way

plain topaz
#

and on fetid too i assume

storm pumice
#

Yeah ^

plain topaz
#

i have archive, dd and meticulous so i suppose tb would be better for me in the long run?

storm pumice
#

Also, I wouldn't recommend it without a Galecallers

#

Absolutely

#

DD is a perfect trait to go with TB

#

Make sure you pool 130-140 energy before using TB especially with DD

#

Because you want to make the most out of that 9 sec window

plain topaz
#

since i dont have a galecaller either is it ever worth for me to run exsang?

storm pumice
#

Not really

#

Unless you're doing mythic+

plain topaz
#

doubt i will run m+ with sin, thanks for the tips tho 😃

storm pumice
#

Sin (in general) is the best spec for m+ 🤔

#

Maybe you have a proper group that lets you Sub rogue, then have fun 😄

plain topaz
#

been playing sub because i find it more fun and been ddoing fine with it, just wanna try out the said better spec for once ^^

#

mostly to compare the 2 speccs with my own preference

#

there is also no pooling other than saving up for tb window?

storm pumice
#

Sure thing! Playing sin without a lot of haste feels terrible though

#

Well, you don't want to be running dry if you're about to use a finisher and do something more after

#

Use your EP uptime as much as possible

#

The only time I let my energy go really dry is if I have to refresh garrote/rupture

#

Then I build CP, hold them, pool, finisher and build CP, and finish again

#

build CP, wait for TB, pool, finish, bam bam

plain topaz
#

i see, a bit different than sub pooling where you pool for the cp generation and not the actual finishers

silver notch
#

I'd even argue that master poisoner is better then playing with EP if your starting off sin haste starved.

plain topaz
#

im at 19% haste atm

storm pumice
#

Then you're fine tbh

silver notch
#

Oh your fine haha

storm pumice

I did a 15 temple yesterday with a less "hastey" build, fuck me it felt so bad LOL

silver notch
#

I purposely run around 16% for mythic+ (around 1500io) and go to like 22% pre array for lfr raiding

storm pumice
#

I believe you want to change your 2ndary stat prios depending on fortified/tyrannical as well

#

More haste during tyrann weeks

#

and more crit mast for fortified

#

I prioritize mastery still just because my team likes to pull big

storm pumice
#

At least that makes sense to me

But yeah definitely just depends on how your pulling

i know theres some leniency to get 3 so

hollow stone

Not really tbh, you get 3 gcds in the subt window. So the only leniency is if you get that last one off near the end of the third gcd (like 0.1 before subt goes away). But you dont wanna aim for that

#

And because rogue gcd is static at 1.0 you cant get any more than 3 gcds in a 3 sec window

#

Hi Guys, what should i take for M+10-15 keys - 2x SS + Archive or 2x SS + Scent of Blood? thanks in advice

hollow stone
#

Its mostly dependent on your tank. If youre consistently pulling 4+ packs, sob should out perform archive. Best to sim it though using this sim:

#

!m+

#

Or not :p

#

Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.

granite parrot
#

but its simming with chainpulls or am i wrong?

hollow stone
#

That sim is the most accurate one we have for m+ atm. It accounts for bosses n trash

#

Idk if its chain pulls but i dont think it is

granite parrot
#

DUNGEON SLICE is a new SimC/Raidbots encounter option meant to help simulate M+ dungeons. It splits the simulation into multiple 15-30 second trash packs of 1-6 mobs, followed by a single target boss for the last ~30% of the simulation, in order to replicate clearing to and then facing a boss. More information can be found on the SimC wiki.

The simulation doesn't drop combat in between pulls or have variable M+ mods like actual dungeons, and may not yet be optimized fully for every spec, but it offers an alternative to HecticAddCleave or Beastlord, which are more suited for single target raid encounters with period waves of adds. Use at your own discretion.

TB w/ a Double dose and Dagger in the back sim about 100 dps higher than 2x SS w/Exsan. Is it reasonable to say on fights where adds pop up and Im able to Vanish Garrote ( Zek,Vectis and maybe fetid) that I should run the SS build?

#

Especially with the longer downtime on Vect during intermission for the longer CD exsanguinate to come back up.

sturdy python
#

Probably. Make sure you're simming MA with the DD and you can run TB and SS together also

#

You don't have to have exsang just because you have ss

elfin plaza
#

hmm yeah. Just defaulted to that paring due to M+ didn't think about swapping more around.

lone junco
#

Tb doesn't have a lot of value in cleave or m+. Exang is an energy feed to start your rupture tabs.

#

But plenty of people use tb and SS in raid.

#

I run 1dd 1ss 1archive.

molten moon
#

anybody else feel that having 2 combo points after 2 FOV's on a pack of 5+ is the biggest buzzkill in this game 😦 almost makes me want to just mutilate to keep finishers going out

lone junco

Limp crit is a bummer.

molten moon
#

22% for me

lone junco
#

It feels like I should FOK mut. But it simmed out as a loss.

molten moon
#

what's an ideal crit to strive for in M+?

lone junco
#

30 would be nice.

#

Crit weight goes up with larger pulls. When you pull small at 1-3. Mut wins. But in 6-8 FOK has to crit.

vapid moth
#

When you sim using the dungeon slice and the results say you need to stack more haste

#

But you cant find anymore haste gear

echo cargo
#

So- what happens to Mythic Zul strats on Tuesday when they removed the shuriken combo from Sub 🤔

safe canopy
#

plenty of guilds have killed it without sub cheesing it

echo cargo
#

Without stacking, sure, but frankly a huge majority of guilds have at least one, and it's still a lot of boss damage to drop.

hexed sail
#

have any specific or atypic WA for mythic g'huun boys ? Like a circle being red or white and depleting when wave is coming, stuff like that ?

#

I’ve managed to down zul without a single sub rogue tho so I guess it isnt completely needed

spice surge

Its "only" a 23%ish nerf to subs zul damage

They will still be the strongest on that fight by far if you bother playing around them

hollow ivy
#

how much haste do you guys run at m+? i tried this new m+ sim but i am a bit confused. It's tell me to get much more haste

civic palm
#

~10%

hollow ivy
#

i was around that value to, but this new sims tell me that haste is the best stat for me and also when i choose top gear this suggest me to wear 18% haste

#

i am not sure that i should trust that sim :c

normal spear
#

m+ sim includes a boss fight. that's why it suggests getting haste (best ST stat)

lone junco
#

And the trash count on the dungeon slice is very low. Haste is god at 1t. Good at 3t. Garbo at 8T.

#

Crit mastery with GC is still gonna do very well.

normal spear
#

don't think of dungeon slice as 100% accurate simulation. it's just a really general approximation (as of today, it'll get better for sure)

lone junco
#

And. Dungeon slice trash doesn't live long enough for ggg to finish.

#

The small stuff anyway.

#

Which may or may not be the case in your groups.

hollow ivy
#

at this time we are pushing like 16+ sometimes 17+ so i guess i will stick to my 13% haste and focus on crit/mastery

lone junco
#

effectively the sim isnt wrong. If you pull less than the fok breakpoint and are muting mostly, then haste is good. If you are pulling enough to fok out ruptures, Crit takes off.

#

in the case of having 5cp and TB about to come off cd, do you TB at 5(with vigor) or env > TB?

vapid moth
#

Good question

honest basin
#

I'd say it depends on your energy and bleed time remaining

#

You want as many envenoms as possible during TB, but you shouldn't waste combo points either. If you won't need to refresh rupture during TB and you have enough energy to go and spam spells for the next 9s, then Envenom then TB then do your mut mut envenom thing

vapid moth
#

If I had one cp from garrote and used mut to get to 5 I'd just tb first

spice surge
#

Tb at 5

#

Is what sims the highest

honest basin
#

Even if you need a rupture refresh during that TB...?

strange python
#

just dont be at 5cp if u have TB?

spice surge
#

I'd you can refresh rupture at pandemic then do that instead ofc

#

If

#

But like, a 30% increase to envenom is worth more than 1 cp

vapid moth
#

@strange python not every situation makes that ideal but ok

strange python
#

Just plan ahead

spice surge
#

Because one cp is basicly 20% of an envenom (slightly less due to energy)

strange python
#

Its not like u cant see the CD on tb

honest basin
#

This guy is right

vapid moth
#

You can plan all you want but it doesnt mean everything happens perfectly

strange python
#

Its not that hard lol

honest basin
#

If you're looking at cds and dots/procs time in fight it'll be extra rare to find yourself at 5 cp with TB up AND a situation you want to use it

spice surge
#

If tb is up its a situation to use it

#

Delaying tb is bad

honest basin
#

Yeah

#

And using it 'cause you can press it with dots that needs refreshing in the TB window without sufficient energy is an even greater waste of it

#

It's fine to delay it by a couple seconds if that means you get 3-4 envenoms in it instead of 1

strange python
#

no

#

plan ahead

#

pool prior to tb usage

vapid moth
#

Lol

honest basin
#

Yeah but I don't think that answers the other guy's question

#

He asked "IF I'm in that situation what do I do"

strange python
#

its already been answered

vapid moth
#

The situation can literally happen no matter how hard you plan

honest basin
#

Yeah but that's a stupid answer

#

😁

strange python
#

How??

#

Its just a straight forward answer

#

???/

honest basin
#

Doesn't rake into account ANY of the several parameters you need to take advantage of TB

#

It's obvious to anyone that if you don't deal a lot of nature damage during it it's wasted

strange python
#

The question was

#

Do I use TB or ENV if Im at 5cp

#

TB is the answer

honest basin
#

Well no, if you got a long enough bleed uptime and enough energy to spam spells during TB even if you envenom first then you'll get more value out of your rogue if you envenom first

#

Simply because you don't waste 1 (maybe 2) cps

sturdy python
#

Not necessarily

#

You're asking tb time

#

Wasting

#

Not using tb on cooldwon causes you to miss casts

strange python
#

what does the damage in parenthesis mean in bloodmallet? e.g 900 +(80). where does that come from

honest basin
#

True

sturdy python
#

If you delay it for only 5 secs that means the fight only needs to be 2 mins to miss a cast

#

And chances are it's goin to be longer due to energy

honest basin
#

Yes. What I'm saying works if you only delay it by one, MAYBE two gcds, which is 1-2 seconds

sturdy python
#

No possible

strange python
#

Still delaying

honest basin
#

Ans as michee said that situation shouldn't happen a lot anyways

sturdy python
#

2 muts and an envenom

strange python
#

You just don't delay

sturdy python
#

Maybe you get luvky for one mut, prolly not

honest basin
#

So, even it it happens 4 times, and then you waste 4s, is it better to waste those 4s or 5 cp (which is what you get on average with crit rating people have these days on average) because you used TB at 5?

sturdy python
#

4s 4 times is 16/25 of a tb

#

And chances are it's not that short each time

honest basin
#

Those muts you talk about if you do TB first then envenom you'll have to do them to build next envenom and so on. Chances are you'll not end your TB tile RIGHT with an envenom if you TB at 5, those muts will be at the end of the 9s instead of at start, on average

sturdy python
#

If the fight is so short that you don't lose a cast, sure may be true

honest basin
#

Well

#

You'd need to find yourself in that situation pretty often to lose a whole cast

sturdy python
#

Well yes of course, that's why the answer is normally to plan better

#

If it happens one time in a whole fight your way may be right but it's not proper according to sjms

honest basin
#

Idk how sims take all we just said into account

sturdy python
#

Can't say for certain but I'd assume they made the apl use both ways and found which one averaged out to be the most

#

Now if the Sims were made to be in that situation Every tb then that wouldn't be right but I doubt that's what happened

strange python
#

I consider myself shit and pretty much never had 5cp when tb was about to come off

sturdy python
#

As usual if you want the most out of sin you need to plan ahead

#

"my ruptures falls off in 14 secs and tb is off CD in 8, I should prepare for that

civic palm
#

or just mash.

sturdy python
#

I mean, you won't do bad damage I guess lol

honest basin
#

Well that's what I see a lot of players complain about

strange python
#

I don't see how you can always prepare to never be at 5 combo points for toxic blade

#

One proc on your combo points before it comes up and you're at 5

civic palm
#

You can prep to be @ 3/4/5 if you are willing to burn ~1CP on TB

honest basin
#

The current spec isn't punitive you can play it approx, waste envenom buff uptime, waste TB CD, refresh dots a bit too soon wasting cps, and you'll do good, the difference with a great player doing few mistakes won't be huge (not enough at least)

strange python
#

Like yeah you can prep majority of the time but you're there's always gonna be some rng in crits involved

#

I stay at 3CP before tb or 4 if garrote in pandemic

civic palm
#

Nah, you either Mut to 2 and mut again to 4/5, Mut to 3 and wait, Mut to 4 and wait.

You don't NEED to be at 5CP.

Can fill a CP with a Garrote as well depending on time/mechanics.

sturdy python
#

The situation occurs when you have refreshed bleeds, mut to 2 with tb coming off

strange python
#

^^

sturdy python
#

Mut again, crit, bam 5 cp

#

Just tb and move on

#

Could do something weird like pk, fok, or garrote even out of pandemic at 2 cp I guess but I imagine that energy is too much waste

civic palm
#

Nah

#

Just overcap.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sturdy python
#

Yeah

strange python
#

Or "just don't be at 5 combo points"

#

Ez

#

Its not that hard

#

😃

civic palm
#

or do, the CP loss from Seal Fate is larger on average, wasting 1-3 on overcapping from TB won't end you.

strange python
#

It was a meme at Michee

honest basin
#

Who replied quite seriously to it

strange python
#

no offense taken mate

spice surge
#

Tb isn't a very advanced spell, currently (ie while not using twist traits) there isn't much to play around. Sure refreshing garrote and rupture before tb feels nice, but if you're refreshing outside of pandemic it's a loss.

I'm about to get booted from the raid team if I don't improve

#

Debuff uptime

#

95% is acceptable, 60-70 is not.

proper dagger
#

So it's all in the rupture and garrote uptime

quick ice
#

I mean I didn't look beyond that massive issue

proper dagger
#

Also I think I'm still struggling with haste, still my lowest unbuffed stat

spice surge
#

The reason you feel like you struggle with haste is because you have low uptime

#

Your bleeds is a majority of your energy regen, so having 60% uptime on them is gonna severely gimp your energy

proper dagger
#

That I understand, but like on fights like Zul, how do you even keep a good uptime on your bleeds if they have you run around to all sorta adds

spice surge
#

Why would you need to run around on zul?

proper dagger
#

They make me chase the casters, since they don't pull them all the way in etc

#

I use a WA to track my debuffs, and it for example says to refresh Rupture at 6 sec left, is this even correct?

spice surge
#

Yes

#

Read the guide in the pins

#

and come back if you have any more questions afterwards

lament dove
#

well you run out to the add and put up a rupture
until then your old rupture ticks on Zul or whatever, so that shouldn't cut down on your rupture uptime
first priority if you start punding a mob that lives for more than a few seconds is to rupture it, it's your energy generator
if there are more mobs next to you rupture them all, or at least 2-3 of them

#

and garrote your main target

#

and keep that up continuously as well

proper dagger
#

Yea I just don't get how I miss it on some bosses like Fetid, but apparently I just do

spice surge
#

Dont cast that third garrote, ever.

#

You do it quite a lot

#

It just nullifies your vanish and ss

bronze kelp
#

thats one major mistake you can do

#

only overwriting a vanish and ss empowered exsanguined garrote with a non buffed is worse

proper dagger
#

So I vanish and only use it once I suppose then?

#

Sorry was getting ready for work, 5 min left hehe

#

I only recently started using vanish in boss fights as a rotation 😦 I feel like a really bad rogue

lament dove
#

you use it twice for the pandemic, but second one NOT after subterfuge window

proper dagger
#

Thanks again 😃 Love you guys for taking your time to reply

#

It's easy to read guides, but sometimes it's just better to get straight feedback

#

Off to work, have a good one.

grim sable
#

on 3+ mobs, is it better to get all 3 SS procs, overcapping on the combo-points or SS twice and then CT/Rupture

slim socket
#

SS

spark oyster
#

Garrote all 3

slim socket
#

You always want to have as many buffed garrote as possible

Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.

tawny sable
#

if your simming same ilvl weapons will the sim punish the one without an enchant?

lone junco
#

what

#

"will a weapon without an enchant do less dmg"

#

yes

#

at the bottom of raidbots top gear, you can override the weapon enchants for comparison reasons though.

#

@tawny sable ^

thanks, appreciate it

hollow matrix
#

anyone have an idea on the average and/or 'good/above average' dps for mythic raiding sin players nowadays(for maybe those who have consistently gotten past zul at least for a lil while)? Just got curious is all - i don't expect any exact numbers or anythin

dark crag
#

Do i need 2 daggers to multilate?

hollow matrix
#

Just been out of raiding for most of this tier, with only 1 kill on some bosses - curious how far behind i am

#

yes i think u do creativmas

#

pretty sure as sin and sub u kinda need 2 daggers? outlaw not the case

#

for competitive dps at least

#

could be wrong lol dont quote me!

dark crag
#

Purple logs is good, orange is excellent, everything under that are small mistakes, raid mechanics or an overall bad raidcomp

hollow matrix
#

yea i was wondering actual sim dps for standard ST fight averages maybe

dark crag
#

Mythic itemlvl 18 to 19k

#

The more sockets the higher it gets

hollow matrix
#

right on, im exactly in the middle of that

#

377ilvl tho 😦

dark crag
#

I am close to 19k but i am half ss half dd and crit sockets/ enchants because i don't care anymore

solid nova
#

Yes you need 2 daggers to mutilate. The other specs weapon requirements are pinned in their respective channels.

dark crag
#

😂

solid nova
#

🤔

jovial fractal
#

fck my life i cant get a new dagger to drop. M+ and rolls on h mother for weeks

hollow matrix
#

so come tuesday their will be azerite trait vendor right? Is their an super ideal 3 pieces and/or super ideal 3 main traits to want to run? Well now thinking about it i guess what 3 for m+, raid ST, Raid AoE would be best? Sorry for so much questions!

spark grail
#

Shrouded suf X 2 and an archive is kinda the assa meta ATM for m+

dark crag
#

Keep the currency until season 2

#

It won't reset and you could by 415 ones right away

spark grail
#

But yeh I'm pretty sure the new vendetta trait will be decent but everything needs summing still

vast forum
#

They said currency cost and generation will be increased with raid release

#

So not worth stocking up

hollow stone
#

I agree with mr christmas, its likely better to save unless you REALLY need a slot

#

@inner pulsar where's that breakdown on saving for specific or spending on random when 415 becomes available?

spice surge
#

@spark grail Current tuning has the vendetta trait being absolute garbage, actually worse than poisoned wire, which it is replacing

spark grail
#

@spice surge AHH yikes man rogues not looking as good next patch

vast forum
#

Assa lookin horrible, no nerfs

keen inlet
#

h y p e r b o l e

dense quest
#

I am sure this is what was said every expact/patch

barren marsh
#

Yes I agree, we will be fine

hollow stone
#

"Sin isnt getting any major changes, its one of the best melee specs right now. Its gonna be shit next tier". What??

#

The logic fails

patent spire
#

no it doesnt

#

because that has nothing to do with logic 😃

hollow stone
#

Lol

glacial steppe
#

We still have sub

hollow stone
#

Hah, sub in 8.1

glacial steppe
#

ST could be getting quite strong with the reworked FD trait tbh

hollow stone
#

Yea. Thats fair

#

But the aoe nerf was harsh

#

Fuckin zul ruined everything

glacial steppe
#

tfw combat rogue + soulcap flashbacks

#

I enjoy Sin so the Sub nerf isnt really bothering me in terms of fun x3

hollow stone
#

No arguments here. I just find it funny that they nerf it now

dense quest
#

hey man those raid designer put a lot of thought into zul

#

and was probably very pissed that 1 spec ruined it

glacial steppe
#

that should become a meme

dense quest
#

imagine when they designed the encounter they were told the game didnt have sub rogues

hollow stone
#

Nah. Blizz design team def intended sub to cheese zul hard 😎

dense quest
#

if it was intended I am sure they wouldnt nerf any spec

#

they just had no idea sub rogues were so good for it

#

come on its not like they work for blizzard

#

and know every class in and out

glacial steppe
#

they either dont think about possible abuse when designing OR they dont know what the classes are actually capable of

hollow stone
#

Im just laughing to myself at the discussion about it: what about sub rogues, wouldnt they just... nah nah dw dw they wont figure it out, and if they do, we'll just nerf sub, itll be great

dense quest
#

I am gonna go with dont know class capabilities since blizzard is small indie company

#

you mean

#

meh whos gonna stack a single class for 1 encounter

hollow stone
#

Haha

dense quest
#

what mythic raiding guild will bother doing that

hollow stone
#

Its never happened before and will never happen again

glacial steppe
#

didnt they stack warlocks for mythrax/ghuun aswell?

hollow stone
#

Thats the joke, yes

glacial steppe
#

even tho affliction isnt even close to his former self. funny enough that sin does better damage with spreading dots than affliction does xd

hollow stone
#

I think we better shift this back to sin before st. richard needs to tell us to

glacial steppe
#

btw i have a 390 crit mastery ring which is technically an upgrade but i cant equip it cus ill lose array on haste

#

yikers

hollow stone
#

Did you sim with array stacks on?

#

It might be worth still

glacial steppe
#

yeah its my raid setup and it feels super bad losing that much haste

#

need more haste feelings

hollow stone
#

Yea. Just.. slower

#

I hear ya

glacial steppe
#

im sitting at like 32% buffed

hollow stone
#

Gotta love it

#

My stats are dumb. Its like 1300 base haste, 1150 crit, 400 mast, and like 80 vers (in raid gear)

glacial steppe
#

and i dont even have a offhand/cloak with haste

#

so 35% with array is possible

dense quest
#

do you have dices?

hollow stone
#

For sure

glacial steppe
#

dices?

hollow stone
#

I do. But i think you were prob asking cirilla

dense quest
#

i am around 1300 haste and 900 crit

#

and I think I flip to crit RA when I get procs

glacial steppe
#

ah

#

yeah I do

hollow stone
#

Yea. If weapon and crit dice procs you would

dense quest
#

yeh

glacial steppe
#

wow never thought a bout that

#

yikes

dense quest
#

I guess its ok tho cuz ideally I dont use dices

hollow stone
#

Mastery weapon isnt much of a dps decrease to crit, just sayin' 😏

glacial steppe
#

my raidgear stats are like 880 crit, 1,3k haste , 600 mastery and 250 vers

dense quest
#

yeh I use to do that mastery enchant

#

but after zul no point

#

like after it becomes farmable content there is no reason for me to even have that enchant

#

not like I have 3 daggers spare

glacial steppe
#

im still hoping for zul to die on tuesday so i can grab my shoulders and get back my double OP

dense quest
#

I got lucky

#

a DH gave me

#

havent got a single drop on zul

#

just sang and money

glacial steppe
#

wait no, if i get zul shoulders ill have tripple OP

#

:insert sayajin emote here:

hollow stone
#

My group is like 50% leather and we only got 1 pair of shoulders on first kill (with a lot of people bonus rolling too)

#

Was brutal

dense quest
#

our one DH is like god tier with loot drop

#

I always try to run with him cuz he gets a ton of good drops

glacial steppe
#

our healers are god tier with loot

#

they literally got no items so far in mythic

#

and still have highest ilvl

hollow stone
#

Weak. Healers dont even need gear, its a luxury for them

glacial steppe
#

we only usually equip are disc cus hes insane

#

and can carry 2 weak healers easily

hollow stone
#

Sounds like disc

glacial steppe
#

btw do guys still go full cirt/mastery on tyrannical weeks or do you go with a haste heavy build?

hollow stone
#

#

Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.

tidal ermine
#

guys how u choose ur azerite traits? bloodmallet is like changing every week

hollow stone
#

Sim with this. Its the best we got atm for m+. I go more haste than fort weeks but not crazy

#

We sim @tidal ermine, obsessively

tidal ermine
#

ok thanks^^

dense quest
#

I go with haste

#

cuz not like there isnt a boss fight

#

your haste is still pretty good

#

I usually run with a conservative tank either way so my pulls are smaller

hollow stone
#

Yea, see, my tank goes ham on tyr weeks

dense quest
#

mine doesnt

#

most we get is 5-6

hollow stone
#

Replace 😏

#

Jkz of course

dense quest
#

meh no point lol just getting an above 10 done every week not like I am trying to push

spice surge
#

Except this week and all weeks coming up, because you get more azerite currency

dense quest
#

even that, not sure if its worth it for me

#

I have all the azerite I need atm

smoky fiber
#

farming azerite currency isnt for 385 pieces though 😄

dense quest
#

cross that bridge when we get there

glacial steppe
#

anyone read the reddit thread about the new azerite vendor and how bad it is for higher tier raiders?

spice surge
#

I mean he just made assumptions of how much residium you would get every week, and it also didnt account for DE/scrapping other pieces

#

Its not gonna be a BiS piece every week though, if people were expecting that

tidal gorge
#

Is there a ranking/sim for the new traits anywhere yet? Been digging around randomly but haven't found it

spice surge
#

They're waiting for the actual patch notes before releasing them as they expect changes

#

For example, currently the vendetta trait is straight garbage because it doesnt scale with anything. Its actually a fair bit worse than poisoned wire

#

and apparently the sub nightblade trait is 🍝

tidal gorge
#

Lovely, I happen to have poisoned wire on my head because I haven't gotten another 385 😒

spice surge
#

Fuck no, cant play with that ping

#

Just triggers me too much

#

Mystlers notes says they dont

#

The DoT component of it is (despite the tooltip) not scaling with Spec Aura and Mastery. DoT is unhasted and cannot crit (guess this is intended, just mentioning). (Updated: Has been changed and can now crit.)

#

Oh well ye maybe tb

#

Guess i worded it poorly, the notes says it can crit

#

Ye i didnt think it would go live being worse the poisoned wire

#

Have you checked the nightblade trait?

#

Its pretty spicy according to the notes

#

Whats spicy about dd and shrouded?

#

That sounds intended though, since it doesnt scale linearly
