wow!
I can't read!
literally right above me, sorry folks
Delete the message . Quick!!
I will own up to my mistakes >: (
30 % crit and 13.85% haste is a good thing for my stats 380 ilvl
Wich two trinkets should I use as assa for m+? Ive got pvp 375 on use and harlans, azerokks, dead eye spyglass, galecallers boon n fathoms as 370
quick question, when playing exsang, after u cast it do you let the garrote and rupt falloff before reapplying them?
since im not too sure how it works
yes
exsang snapshots the bleeds you have active and doubles their tickrate (as well as halving their duration)
meaning that the bleeds that have been exsanguinated are stronger than a regular bleed
I believe DITB sims assume you have s 90% uptime on the back of the boss. So some people have found it over valued
check if you need ss....?
like, for fetid you should go ss, cus it helps with bursting down the adds etc...
skittish and exsanguinate kinda fucked me a bit lol, when tricks of the trade was down on cd
any specific dagger I should farm? like from a dungeon or uldir boss?
I don't think I ever had skittish trouble before
the difference I think is it's a warrior tank, maybe that's causing the issue?
prot war does insane dmg
does garrotte and rup snapshot off of galecaller's?
Garrote and Rupture are dynamic.
can you explain "dynamic"?
30 % crit and 13.85% haste is a good thing for my stats 380 ilvl i have 2x SS
i assume "always changing" in that they are always modified by procs
@lilac spade they do damage based on your current buffs, regardless of when they were applied
Exsang snapshots haste though
right...im macroing GC with Vend
seems like im free to apply my opener with Gale's being applied with Vend
As long as you're hitting your macro every 1 min
ill do gar>rup>gar>ven>gcb>mut>rup>exsang on ST - GCB while gcd from ven
since im not a big fan of macros
Has any1 looked over what the azerite combo will be once 22.jan comes? Like the best obtainable azerite pieces
im looking foward to that too, there are some crazy combos you can do with azerite from the new raid
!m+
Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.
Would you use Crimson Tempest for every high (15) m+?
If not, which ones would you use it for
Depends on if your gonna be pulling 4+ elites ever
!ct
There is no specific week or affix that makes one or the other more viable.
CT vs PB is mainly down to your group, the dungeon itself and your pull sizes, with PB naturally having an edge in boss fights.
It's mainly the combination of affixes and dungeons that favour one or the other. High Tyr KR/Temple favour PB in general, due to low pulls and harder bosses.
In terms of Exsang vs TB; Exsang wins since it works well with SS traits and it's only 1 global on your priority target for some burst damage and extra energy.
TB usually locks you to that target to gain the most out of it.
Smaller pulls (and tighter grouping) and/or more emphasis on bosses favour PB
Something like KR is where you'll probably want PB, since you won't get good CT value on more than a couple of the pulls
where do i find the top tier m+ rogues traits
like what they are using
i have one echoing blade, 1 SS, and one blightborne infusion so i feel like i should buy a 390 piece to switch out the BI
for arena trinket wise if I have no pvp trinks is the Doom an d fathoms still good?
I also have permafrost heart which is vers and agility proc
oh and plumage
i posted on pvpv no response
was going to say xD
id say doom because it adds more burst for your all in
though the vers form perma might be good. you prolly gotta wait for !pvp to wake up ๐
are specific talents worth using in uldir?
I'm just runing EP/sub/TB/PB rn
hopefully that's good enough for normal
but I feel like looking at normal logs is kinda eh
sim things with the ammount of array stacks you have
because if you're not an alt
you can try dif combos
I have 0
i think it does it auto from memory
yeah it checks the quest completion in there or something
that's what I brought up
for the highest logs
there are a few combos taht are within 100 dps or so for me like i said
just sim things
i prefer the cookie cutter subterfuge and alternate with tb and xsang depdning how bored im feeling
simming doesn't match the encounter and is only representative of a purely single-target thing, but I feel like cookie cutting will work fine
If you're looking to parse well now even in Normal for Uldir I imagine it's not possible due to the encounter abuse and tiny kill timers.
nah
I'm not
I just want my 0 dps to be because of gear and because I suck, not talents
i mean sin is pretty basic spec to play
Then just check the pins and the guide to make sure you're not making hideous errors.
you should parse quite well in normal/hc if your group is not extremely bad and your gear is decent
the only huge mistake you can make is overwrting your empoered/xsanged dots
mythic is harder to get good parses
i looked at the top m vectis parse and i laughed
this is my alt haha
330 ilvl
will definitely not parse well
I main fury warrior
they had the boss to 1hp befoere a transition and let every add spawn
so I'm just trying to get used to 'sin
downtime and starving are not things I'm used to at all :p
that is the kinda dumb shit you get
tbh ppl think to high about parses
ye idc about parses
Well now sure.
I just don't want to be absolute deadweight
Even looking at them isn't very informative.
I care about parses on my warrior though
i mean i dont really care that much about parsing
i know ppl who even in progress rather whipe the raid group then parse bad
Yeah > _> those people.
that happens even on prog sometimes in some guilds
Ban those people from the game
But yeah the guide is up to date last I checked, pretty straight-forward.
guess i'm just going cookie cutter with TB
I would like to > _>
forgot to make a UI though
aaa
generally write all my own WA sets and I forgot to
if you have a galecaller and tons of haste xsang will be a bit ahead of tb
its a nature of the system, ppl like to give themselfs values and do everything that leads to a better ranking
!wa
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)
https://wago.io/E1EB91OtM (Lokkek's Group)
https://wago.io/SyLUNGD4X (Sovv's Group)
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
but tb is fine
I mean, parsing well has almost nothing to do with mechanics for melee in uldir
i have all my cds on wa
A ton of people this expansion seem to be too keen on improving their M+ score as well, stating that Blizzard doesn't give them enough reason to push keys and that RIO does > _>
You can do all the mechanics a melee is able to get and still parse 99
and if there is an important mech i need to do or i suck at ill make a wa for it
Forgetting... I suppose... that Blizzard tracks that shit but just doesn't give them a nice score to jerk off to.
wasnt there some m+ rewards in 8.2 or so?
Doubt it
IIRC there's a +15 achievement for season 1?
i could just use the standard ui though and use moveanything just to move buffs bars and other stuff
Blizz announced an m+ revamp for bfa
But people want titles, gear, mounts, weapon skins, etc. as well.
the standard buff bar is shit
And there's nothing
yeah like make a mount for a +15 in everything or something
We should be seeing more changes going into 8.1.5 considering the changes we saw recently.
pretty lame
They didn't have enough time to get the rewards in order IMO.
i agree m+ should have seen more focus
The philosophy of "we have to release the game at a specific date, regardless of the state it is in" really hurts early expansions
Nah the date was set when they knew they had a releasable product, or at least thought.
I personally wouldn't mind another 3 months of antorus
i did a SICK 6k on taloc boys
I really see promise for me as a rogue
The good thing about BfA is that catching up is trivial even now.
So breaks aren't awful.
outside of raid it is :c
BFD should be better
RoA is a terrible mechanic for alts
unlike legendaries it's legitimately time-gated
Well, no catch-up for RA stacks
i think a lot of dev time went into fixing gcd changes and reworking classes to be at least somewhat functional
Yea
Yeah unlike legendaries where you might not ever get the things you want.
At least with RoA you will get there sooner or later.
i mean
yeah
but you can do that now
and you'll be at 3 stacks by the time tier ends
with legendaries it least it was theoretically possible to have every single one drop from one boss lol
dunno why we're comparing a shitty system to a shitty system
I think I brought it up even
Correct.
dunno why I'm comparing
I guess I'm still salty about them
I made my rogue, I got Cinidaria, and then I quit until now
Legion legendaries were amazing in bfa prepatch
Legendaries were one of the most short-sighted things Blizzard ever added to WoW, it's understandable to be annoyed.
yeah I decided if my first was garbage I'm done playing
so I got cinidaria and I quit
M+ azerite rewards beg to differ, mize
No if they added AA to M+ that would be shortsighted.
the main issue with lenedaries was that blizz (till the end) refused to give them out in a reasonable timeframe
Not having more sources earlier on was also not a good design choice.
if you had all legos from the start, it would been smooth sailing and no issue
Well the solution to the Legendaries was to not have them be DPS oriented ๐
Until maybe like...
the final raid.
i think they worked out good if you had all
the main issue is that they were super rng
kind of like 2 additional talent rows
and the first bug with them is that if you were lucky enough to get your first you would get your second faster
yes hence i was saying blizz was stubborn on holding on to low drop rates
ye we should have just been given them through quests or smth
They did modify the drop rates early on, but fucked up some shit at the same time.
not a completely unique storyline for every legendary, but at least, like, achievable
a goal to work towards
even in the end of legion you needed forever to get all of them
it was nowhere near reasonable
taking the rpg out of mmorpg
an RPG is a lot of things.
if they want them to be a drop, make you get them within some days if you farm a lot
IIRC @ the end of Legion it was ~2 a week if you did everything.
doing everything felt like shit lol
1 drop 1 vendor
did you do your nighthold on raid finder ?????
Yeah well farm your butt off if you want your oranges!!
did you do all your m+0s
and no you did Nighthold on a higher difficulty for the guild alts that needed NH for weapon skins.
and your emerald nightmare on heroic
I'm gonna drop my outlaw role, full sin rogue B)
EN for Xavius shoulders that never dropped ๐
EN to experience the potential of a raid tier that never really was
i bonusrolled them ๐

i dont know which trinket to use.. if i sim dungeonslice it says i should take the 390 + overcharger 385 but most m+ rogues take loaded dice and galecaller.. actually my roguegameplay feels so bad.. i'm waiting most of the time to regnerate energy and refresh my dots. then wait again for felt 1 hour to cast another finisher.. for m+ you dont actually need haste but it feels so stupid without ?
galecaller can be annoying if you have a tank who is unsympathetic and moves shit randomly
you shouldnt be energy starved once you get the 3 garrotes out and start rollin some ruptures on multi target
unless you are doing something silly like forgetting to posion your dagger
with those trinkets, id run harlans+dooms wake
mh okay.. so multitarget is fine. i never starve there but on bossfights im okay too but it feels little bit stupid, i'm most of the time just waiting for energy it feels so slow.. really boring.. i mean i played assa in nighthold and there it was kinda the same but it felt better with the artifact weapon and i never had such energy problems
well
so i try harlans + dooms.
welcome to the new assa design
its supposed to starve on resources on singletarget, but our damage capabilities are balanced around that shortage of energy and CP
that way, we scale well into aoe, where we generate more resources
legion assa had much more base energy regen to work with, and thus sucked on aoe because our abilities hit like wet noodles. and they had to, cause we used them much more often on singletarget so they couldnt hit harder, without us being op in singletarget
so the current gameplay on singletarget is a necessity in order for assa to have meaningful aoe capabilities
haha ye i know what you mean.. in legion i played only sub and it was really fun
_>
if you actually want to minmax for m+, you drop all haste and just focus on improving your aoe damage, since thats what you spend most of your time with. if you dont care too much about min-maxing however, you can still run 10 or 15% haste
itll lower your aoe damage potential, and give you slightly more singletarget, its your call really
in pug groups its like playing roulette.. if i go aoe and the tank is a pussy as usual im useless too.. so i wanted to find something in the middle. little bit aoe with CT and bleeddmg and my ST so i have Archive of the titans in my head instead of EB +2xSS
id honestly just play PB in pugs and run with a mixed setup. 3xSS will carry you to victory in pugs
you barely get to use CT efficiently in pugs
okay nice. now i need to get a head with SS 
O _O
well, theres one from m0 ๐
There are strong options outside of SS as well, don't particularly need SS on helm.
but you can run archive or EB on helmet if you want
freehold this week CT is okay in pugs. i just tricks the tank sap infested and pull at least 2 groups^^
but SS will carry in pugs unless you dont get to restealth
I only posted the GLADIATOR WARRIOR apm because it's silly.
do you think sub is better for puggrps ? i heared its better for farm / lowkeys
SIN is bullet-proof at this point.
sub wants 6 mobs in every pull, ideally, for maximum ss value
assa is by far the most flexible spec for pugs
okay 
yeah....
Least that time it made sense.
+2 is another world
running tisu-goddess alac build
tisu
go buy monsterhunter
i wanna hunt some mons
๐ฆ
you would still take 370 dooms + harlans in pugs right ? the 390 azerokks resonating heart is useless ?
Not useless just worse.
It's not THAT BAD
assassination is by design the slow paced spec, it was in legion the same. tho it gets a lot more energy in aoe due to spec design
agi > mastery ๐
yup
only this time our abiltiies hit hard enough for it to do proper dps in aoe
in legion our abilities just didnt hit hard enough
well, PK did with proper investment, but then they fucked up the mutilate vs fok tuning and "had" to nerf PK
Was thinking of anything trinket O _O
so we were shit again ๐ฆ
Assassination had good AoE in legion
You just needed to sacrifice a goat to the poison bomb gods

can anyone gift seli an emote for his channel
also how good is EB pls help whats best for m+
anyone know best rogue spec
๐ฆ
That's so fucking offtopic I can't even.
Outlaw is the real pug play 
@civic palm i'm sorry i edited
There we gooo
would you guys take doom's wake over galecaller's in m+? both 375
nope
Fact
Also I'd take doomwake over gc anyday
Full stacks it's like 1900agi or some shit for 6 seconds
Iโve always went for PB as last talent but Iโm tempted to give CT a try for m+. Do you take exsang with it as well? Or keeping TB for that row is ok?
You should be taking exsang regardless
should almost always use CT in m+
CT is great when your tank pulls mid-large
Which should be most dungeons
Except shrine/kr
only like tyrannical KR or temple of sethralis can PB be better.
how is Kezan Stamped Bijou
950 crit in 340 ilvl
did they fix snapshotting Exsanguinate with gcb?
casue my dots tick the same if i activate exsanguinate before gcb or as normal gcb before esxanguinate
can someone confirm this pls?
exang
i know it only accelarates ur dots to finish twice as fast
but i remeber hearing that u have to snapshot ur exsanguinate with gcb
for u dots to tick harder
faster*
Mmmh
and ultimately harder, since they get crammed in a smaller window
right?
so i a have high haste(1.4 tick rate on my bleeds, and do 1000dmg per tick)
for example
i means that in a windo of 30 secs i will do 30k dmg
honestly i can't answer this
with exsanguinate on i will end up doing 30k in a 15sec window, resulting in a 1.5kdps compared to the 1k dps i have without exsang
so now my question was
does it matter if i activate Gallcaller boon before or after exsanguinate?
Yes always before
why?
since i have noticed
that my tick rate still updates if i activate gcb after
i remeber hearing about snapshottinmg
and thats how i have done util now
but jsut playing around the dummy i noticed my exsanguinate still gets haste buff even if i activate gcb after exsang
Unless it has been changed, exs is one of those situations where it will snapshot your haste at the time of cast. I don't remember seeing that being changed, though I could be wrong. Every other point in your rotation bleeds will update dynamically.
can u confirm
i mean it is happenign to me
i activate exsanguinate, on garr and rup
havea 1.6 tick rate
then i will activate gcb and get a 1.4 tick rate
O can test when I get home. At work rn 
if i leave circle i lose the tick rates on teh dots and if i get back in they update again
this i can cofirm
confirm*
which means they took out the "snapshot mechanic"
it only snapshots if you use gc before you xsang
not after
or has that changed is that what you mean?
This week if your running +10 keys would you consider outlaw over ass? for the AoE?
i stopped running the trinket coz it pissed me off
depends on your group and dungeon spirit, but sure why not
But outlaw outpeforms on AoE ye? I doubt Crimson tempest is enough
outlaw does decent aoe yar especially if you pull big and keep them decently grouped
best to ask inoutlaw channel tho
its ot here
for ol specific things i mean
k i will
problem this week is bolstering, outlaw has very little control over which targets you hit once you activate BF, so that might be an issue
hi seli! ๐
How does the new fan of knives trait work? It says the first 5 crits...but when does that reset?
Every cast
Does any1 still have the Bag of Tricks WA? Where it says in /say "Poison Bomb fading in 3..2..1"
its for every cast of fok @faint sleet
if you crit any of the targets, you will have that additional damage from the echo, and you can have up to 5 if you crit 5 targets
Wow that seems really powerful
Yeah itโs awesome I use it in islands
I donโt know if I would use it in m+
talking about m+ build, atm I have 2 ss / eb, shall I go for np / ss / eb?
np one got 15 ilvl higher
i tried simming 2-3 times, first it said ss then np and so on and so forth
Whats the best Horde race for rogue ... Undead, Troll ???
Blood elf
Wtf rly ... why ???
Does it matter anyway? :d
the differences are too small to be even considered sometimes tbh
Silence and 15 energy and crit 1% is that good
^hey any high m+ players, what talents/traits u would run sethralis 18 this week?
I usually run PB on temple cause it has smaller pulls
Last talent is the only one u really swap around for m+
I don't have a 3rd ss yet :/, but I was wondering if I should go 1 ss / 1 np and 1 eb, instead of 2 ss / eb
What do u think?
dont think np is worth it in m+
you guys using CT at 3 or 4 targets normally in m+?
I use at 3.
Quick beginner question, at how many targets should i use crimson tempest ?
๐ค
also quick question i m stuck at my dmg curve but i want to improve more are there any tips on how i can do this?
!rotation
@celest swan Aight, I'll go for 2 ss then ๐ Thanks fam
getting strange sim results
subterfuge with 0 pieces SS sims the same as Master Assassin @ 5 mins
does that seem off or do both matter so little over 5-6 mins that they're negligible?
subterfuge is still a really good talent without SS.
!rotation
SIN GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ FAQ IN PINS-->
question, if i'm using SS with subterfuge, why am i garroting twice?
says so on the rotation but just wondering why
to get longest possible duration on empowered garrote
obviously if it was mid fight and you already have garrote rolling you wouldnt need to garrote twice
cool thanks guys
just switched over from outlaw cause i hate the RNG
dps is so bad when u dont get good buffs from roll the bones
Iirc it assumes youโre behind the target is all
Garrote when your current Garrote is below 5.4 or there is an additional targett does the garrote stack up like rupture?
no, rupture has different pandemic "targets" because the duration scales with combo point, garrote is flat duration and 5.4s is the pandemic window.
okay thanks ๐
just got a 395 ivus trinket and it sim lower than my 385 dice + 380 gcb.... feelsbadman ๐ฆ
^^
Forreal
0.3% downgrade to go with ivus trinket + dice... might test it to not have to worry about gcb usage
@dark token haha sry mate ๐ฆ big ilvl not being an upgrade always tilt me haha
It's a good crit trinket to have just not the best
Wish I had 385 dice and a 380 gcb lol
Any AoE tips for mythic +? currently only have 1 EB
i try to garrote up if im stealthed then put around ruptures while FoK
dumb to put up too many ruptures since you gain more energy than you have time to spend?
I'm rocking 385 Razorleaf + 380 Lustrous and still wish I had 385 dice and 380 GCB lol
Not necessarily, rup does more damage than envenom if it lasts the full duration
But you can only reasonably keep so many up at once and also need to consider if there's a priority target you should focus envenoms into
Also, 5+targets CT spam is a DPS increase. So basically, it just depends on situation
man, I think my sims actually want me to run
x2 Nothing Personal + versatility/mastery shift
for ST fights
Using a mastery or vers on-use trinket + rings sims ~100 DPS higher than my other options. :^)
guys
brief question
does rupture snapshot vendetta when used?
or will it just tick harder if vendetta is on?
is there a difference between using rupture into vendetta or doing vendetta into rupture? ๐ฎ
No snapshotting for vendetta
CT this week?
if there's no snapshotting; why do we use vendetta before applying our 5 cp pandemic rupture? ๐ฎ
wouldn't it be better to use rupture before, then vendetta so as to get more harder hitting abilities into vendetta
In the opener? You'll have rupture throughout the whole vendetta one way or another
The opener uses it as early as possible with bleeds already up
yeah, so if you're going to have rupture throughout he whole vendetta...
why apply it during vendetta
as opposed to applying it before
Using this opner as an example (From one of Infexious' videos)
its to get it on cd as soon as possible there
and it kinda just fits there
right before you exang
That makes sense
I was thinking switching vendetta with rupture there
also made sense
If you rupture vend exsang you're also losing etra ticks from exsang
And if you rupture exsang vendetta you're definitely losing too much
even your garrote will lose a couple ticks
By losing extra ticks, you mean you'll get some ticks outside vendetta window, right?
Yes
tho the diff is very small
But that small difference would be better if using the opener I sent rather than changing it
Exactly, I doubt it matters too much but I have no doubt it was simmed every possible way
Makes sense
Thanks for the help guys
Kinda like to understand why I'm doing things as opposed to just doing them haha
You can always editthe apl yourself and see the difference
whats this "pandemic" you talk about ๐
are pandemic timers still a thing ?
should i be reapplying as soon as the window is up ?
yes
rupture has 5 different pandemic timers
garrote has 1
might make a weakaura for it
!wa
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)
https://wago.io/E1EB91OtM (Lokkek's Group)

https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
you dont have to reapply as soon as the window is up
it just means you can
its essentially leeway in most cases
it's the best place to reapply generally
but you shouldn't be like "oh fuck 5.6s on garrote getgetget"
You do want to be hitting max pandemic if you're setting up an exsang though
360 Shrouded or 390 blood rite for M+?
already have 1 SS
BR sims higher on single target but I feel SS on the lower gear might be better
Ct or pb for siege?
why are so many ppl running one SS with toxic blade?
because the first stack of SS has good value regardless of exsang
also other stats/gear affect whether or not TB is optimal
not just SS
Also the tb brainless to play
As opposed to setting up full duration bleeds / galecallers and popping exang? Big brain plays there.

@hazy iron I mean, TB is even worse, that's saying something for how brain-dead it is
you're not wrong, the whole spec isn't exactly rocket science. I guess the point I was trying to make is that TB still isn't just pop TB and forget, you have to do a few things too like ensure you've pooled enough to env spam afterward. Neither are exactly complicated
Sure, but TB is a whole new low LOL
TB should one shot bosses confirmed
i mean with haste it basically is pop and forget
theres little to no pooling involved
the only one thing you can really mess up is having to refresh bleeds during
5% is way too low
way
haste is the strongest ST stat
should I be refreshing my bleeds to max duration before exsang?
typically yeah
and ideally you want max pandemic on them
especially if its something like a subterfuge garrote
I think you refresh rupture at 20seconds or less and non-empowered garrotte at 6~ seconds or less
for exsang
Gale Callers or Heart?
only 0.7% dps dif between the 2 in Dungeon slice sim for me
alright ty
plume plume plume plume plume
385+soc FC is worth in uldir? Even i have 370 loaded dice and 370 dead eye. What do you think?
Because uldir has so many cleave add situation. I think 370 loaded dice is best
You should sim it, but I think the stats of the socket might be worth more
Any good sin rogue in m+, would u rather have 2x unstable flames or 2x heed my call?
Heed
ok thanks
I simed. Simc says those are similar. But considering cleave situation like vectis in uldir.
I think loaded is much more worth than others
Of course i simed 2 ways patchwalk stlye and cleave add
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
boss with adds list
FC gets worse with AoE
but also vectis is kinda hard to say as its a weird sortof cleave
Yeah, thnks. But herodamage gear set is weird. They set poor azerite power to compare dps.
Man fuck heed. I hate that trait
Why do you hate a trait that's entirely passive
In a ring full of other entirely passive traits
Cause the animation is deceiving. When it procs it has that "yeah I did something" vibe but when you look at the numbers it's like "yeah. Fooled ya fam"
With flames at least I feel when the crit is there
Yes I can when I get that 4 cp mut
Or at least that what I associate it with
20% crit doesn't give 4CP Muts, 30% does ๐
"FC" what trinket is that?
Frenetic corpuscle
anyone else encountering a bug where tricks gives you invalid target?
Nightmare doing keys on skittish with this 
Or if you have a mouseover macro on your trix sometimes that can cause that error
ooof, ok, thanks ๐
I got a 390 Construct Overcharger today. Something finally outsims Fathoms.
barely.
sub/sin pretty close in numbers ? just a playstyle choice?
What we doin tonight?
About to get some tacos. Idk about you.
Any clue why I would sim lower with CT instead of PB in a dungeon slice setup? The sim says itโs nearly a 2% dps loss
Yo do sims use shadowmeld, like for dem extra garrotes?
The Sim undervalues CT quite a bit because of the size and duration of the pulls
Yes it uses shadowmeld I believe
looks like it doesn't
in the apl it says to use shadowmeld for shrouded suffocation but then it doesn't actually use it
did a couple different sim scenarios
Might want to bring it up in #tc-research I remember them saying it should
Link the Sims, I'm fairly certain it does shadowmeld
Yeah just double checked, mystler said it's in there back in november
@thick musk you have no SS traits
Would explain why!
hm but it vanish-garrotes I think
Can't resteslth for subterfuge in a boss fight
Yes because vanish gets you subterfuge
Nope
Meld won't get you into stealth in a boss fight
You cannot drop combat in boss fights
But from meld you can garrote to get SS value
Now in dungeon slice it should be done
You can meld for proper stealth on trash
Doubt it's implemented <speculation though I have no clue
thanks boiz ^_^
what I'm interested in is this part of another sim I did
it's stealthing twice?
lol
damn
sim u crazy
ohhh
Look at the targets and time delay
okay makes sense
thanks for helping me understand haha
wait but
why is it burning shadowmeld
to do 1 garrote
when combat is ending and it could use it on the next pull
Honestly probably because dungeon slice is fairly new
And with such varying health pools
Yeah, it's not perfect
It's tough to assign CD use based on health
and it won't be perfect ever.
^
gotcha
Not because there are not smart people working on it, but because I am not even sure what "perfect" would be.
If I had to guess, it goes all in on bosses which is what I assume 'bigadd' means
Yeah there's no conditions for expected remaining health.
IIRC
Because even then, you need;
I've never looked into dungeon slice much tbh
- Conditions for small mobs for HP
- Conditions for medium mobs for HP
- Conditions for large mobs for HP
- Conditions for average group DPS on all of those mobs
Yes for typical boss fights tisumi
Yeah varying health pools fuck things up
That's a lot of averages don't probably can't transfer to anything practical.
Just make sure to apply your brain to the encounter.
Why would I apply Garrote to something dead within 5% of full duration?
If you tried to assign that kinda stuff you might end up in situations where it just doesn't do shit cause things will die too quickly
This was an issue with energy capping and proper FoK usage.
Yeah at some point you just gotta try and parse it out yourself.
I just feelycraft everything
Yeah just MUT/FOK depending on target # and HP%.
and DP timers.
and group movement.
It's tough for something like sin too
and blahblahblah.
Where the only complexity is trying to figure out if shit will last long enough
I'm sure conditions could be placed to make it pretty accurate but I know absolute 0 about apl and Sims so I have no room to think
Oof
Lol
Add into that sometimes you actually want things to die asap so you get full energy back
Poor xae
That +50 agi proc is super noticeable okay my dude
Those conditions could 100% be made, buy without knowing how they might interact with the other conditions it might just bork things up too much to be worth the time.
Tbf when I run 3x flames I def notice the extra crits
General group DPS isn't even that hard to find within item level brackets either.
But 1 prob not so much
Okay but do you hate heed @spice surge?
I still dislike how short the trash lasts
in the APL or?
For dungeonslice
Yeah welcome to averages, hahaha.
I have no hatred against any type of trait
It was brought up on TC and I know the trash to boss time is about what you'd expect but how short they are makes anything like CT look horrible
Can't hatespeech on discord
But yeah you're right, and we gotta use our thinkers sometimes I suppose
#AllTraitsMatter
Just don't trust the SIMs after you understand how they're written and how they can be used.
@sturdy python it also probably groups mobs up tight af for PB
Yeah no doubt it does
Which isn't always realistic
One of the few time CT is actually clutch is for when shit jumps away
Like saurids in AD
It simply creates targets in range of attacks, that's it AFAIK.
I mean it's fine, I can figure it out i just hate thinking of people simmin it and getting bad results
Who might be less knowledgeable
But I don't think there's any better options
So all goooood
If they're simming at all they're on the right track anyway
Debatable
Most people will operate just fine under the general information.
If they wanna perform better they're gonna have to use their noodle.
True
Okay that might not be entirely true, but there's a huge amount that can't/don't even sim
I think you should SIM it
But which TrInKet iS bETteR?
But I don't have a sim card
MRKRABS
WHY DOES BLOODMALLET SAY SS IS SO BAD?1
Bloodmallet rip

Stab my FUCKING EYES OUT ALREADY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
@civic palm TB or exsang for M+ though?
So about that haste cap 
My ilvl is 280 should I stack avoidance?
Yes.
Until you get more HP sure.
Noxxic says leech > avoidance
Ah a man of culture I see.
I just need to get this AGI finished and just have it write the fucking APL > _>"
Is there a website anywhere that I can check the new azerite dungeon gear next tier?
I can see the raid ones from journal but what about the dungeon pieces
Btw @civic palm I went on wago the other day for CC trackers cause I didn't wanna remake mine, your's was first on the list
Wowhead?
Shit is fine get over it.
Give me my 10minutes back
Unless you are talking about non ROgue stuff they changed the spellIDs lool too bad
Looks like we would be able to get 3 SS 3 Scent just from raid pieces
Which is nice
Yup
Yaknow if you told me about the issue I would have fixed it.
I mean
I didn't care that much, just remembered the name so it was relevant
Until I find a group that pulls more than the minimum I'm avoiding eb
Iโm going for 3 eb 3 scent for yolo aoe
I have a 390 eb chest and I can't get use out of it in half the dungeons
I might just rip the other CC out of the WA but people have not complained about it.
When I tried it only had blind/sap
ss will prob be better tho in the first half of the tier
Yeeee outlaw 
Other than this dood - -
But meh I just slapped in shit for the other classes I've got leveled rn
Who FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS
I make sure people know I have 5 rolls
Hold on I got you
Yeah there was some weird shit when I originally made them they demanded a fresh WA for every fucking ability.
Problem solved
Couldn't dupe without getting weirdness.
ayyy
Yaknow the lazy man would make someone else do it?
Don't test me okay I had to DM mystler to get him to add meld to his logic block
Cause I'm fucking stupid and couldn't get it to work
I cannot spawn PTR server instances.
It should be fine, especially if you get some new azerite.
Oh that.
hrrrrrrrrrrm
fuckifiknow
So long there are not Uldir waterfalls.
Anybody know whats the invasion reward ?
Doesn't the UI tell you the reward?
Like a 370 or something?
Should be a gear chest
Sometime its gear sometime its azerite
Idk I'm also in bed sorry
I just want someone to tell me so i dont have to get up from bed to check lol
I think it's random, ie not the same for everyone
Assaults: Immortal
No there are Azerite caches sometimes
Sometime theres azerite cache
But its random whether or not it's Azerite or not
Ya
So you just have to check
@civic palm u should fix Ur WaS mOre OftEn
So I just asked in case someone was in bed :p
Char specific, or possibly account
Was in game *
I'm in bed
It doenst matter because it's not always the same for everyone
I've yet to see an assault that wasn't a gear chest honestly
Nice for you to bring up my outdated WA after it was updated :3
Fk if I know anymore
Wtf
How
I have like 160?
Well I've definitely gotten 0 of those to drop out of there
And none from emissaries
You def push higher keys than me tho
listen miz, among my ton of weakauras i haven't updated since tomb of sargeras, i expected better from you
hahaha
Well I actually did a 14 this week so almost there
i'm taking down the poster i have of you above my bed
First key higher than 12 I've done on months
which i am currently in and therefore cannot check invasions
People like you make me feel horrible about myself tisumi
there we followed the process
out of date -> complaint -> update
i don't hate you tisumi
You do Sim stupidly high tho
sim DPS is stored in the sockets
Unacceptable
damnit
Guess we don't need to invade you Mize
you've been granted immunity from invasion by the US
You're welcome
you're welcome best friend
@gusty kestrel aye man they sim within 10 dps of each other I'm allowed to say what I want
That's where Tisumi got all the gear from yep
reported
Reported
Drop it for DD
Ez
I just realized I have not simmed a single thing for over a month
Hmmm
more verstaile how?
Yeah
ah
Just don't pull more than 3 lul
Pro strats mize
triple rogue, 3pack pulls, new M+ meta
Tisumi will you give me rogue lessons
ew youre alliance
Literal masterrace yes
meld master race
I dunno what to use my 7th legion medals on
eyyy
theres a 395 ring u can buy with those medals
i think u need like 400 or something
The ring is a 40 dps increase at best :/
get it for the bag ilvl
do you have 2?
damn, you'll never get into heroic uldir pugs i guess
you mean u dont logout in highest ilvl gear so u can pad your ilvl rank on wowprogress?
Lmao no I prefer removing gear so people look at my shit and think I'm even better
Something interesting I just did. I simmed human rogue same traits, same gear, vs. night elf rogue, same traits, same gear in dungeon slice. On hero damage with exsg and m+ setup it shows nightelf (night) as .5% more damage over human, but the sim actually shows 2.14% higher for dungeon slice
so it seems night elf is better in m+ than the standard sims are showing on race comparison
Human only has increased secondaries as the dps boost right?
ye
I knew it, that person was right
big brain plays
And still Sim higher than me when I use array
Screw the assault, good night y'all
neat

hahaha
Took my advice of just getting more sockets too literally.
Yes officer, these are the hackers right here
i think that was intended
cos you dont get TR from pvp
so how else would pvpers get azerite pieces
Idk why the pvp chest doesn't just always give the trophy
only the top .01% of player base "NEED" to pvp to get "max pve"
aka blizz wont care
inb4 the pvp azerite pieces give u pvp traits
so scuffed for pve purposes
Well, it means you get to stomp rosvall more often then
Except pvp trait (battlefield focus) is actually really good
Its absurd in pvp and strong in pve
Blightborne only available on like 2 pieces
So its #3, basicly tied with #2
I'd say that's "one of the best"
Yikes
hellchains is realistically number 2 (another aoe)
its just not implemented in simc yet
DK theorycrafters need to step it up
i dont know c++ ๐ฆ
Rogue crafters putting you guys to shame
