Or you can be a real tryhard and swap between bosses
Do you refresh dots when in pandemic after casting exsang? Or do you let them expire?
Can anyone tell me what trinkets are S-Tier for Assa?
A quick question about refreshing garrote/rupture. Is it better to refresh a 4cp rup then use garrote with EP, or use garrote as a final cp to get a 5cp rup up?
Is this the correct Assa opener with Toxic Blade? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Wzja7PktYvhc91Ag#fight=2&type=casts&view=timeline&source=20&target=51 - I know there is a garrote missing at the first cast, it just didn´t get logged, don´t know why
so it´s basically garrote - rupture - garrote
@onyx raft it doesnt really matter, EP is dynamic
so if you have to refresh garrote anyways you can do either
Ok
@languid gate skimmed but mobile is cancer, looks fine
Check pinned guide and compare
Does anyone know if the new 415 Engineering goggles are good?
is Sin still good at anything? I used to run it for Single-Target but now Subtlety seems to do alot better
Sin is the better spec in most situations
Where does sub do better at ST
Yeah without array or default profiles true
Any ideas on The most efficient way to get your Neck to 38 without burning out on stupid expedition farming?
Or basically do all The things? :p
I think WQs are the fastest
warmode on
after that I dunno, weekly expedition, raid kills, dungeon runs, RBG daily win, other daily pvp stuff
whats the rush for 38? I'm 37 1/2 atm
41500 ap to go heheh
Well i just want to get it done :p
I tend to slack on content like this i don’t like daily grinds
Yeah but i kind of wanna be there or atleast close when The tier starts
@fluid mist just do all the azerite WQ every day. That's what I've been doing. I hit 38 tomorrow
Have never done an extra island or anything. Unless you count the 4+ M+ dungeons I run a week
I was a bit behind because i had to switch mage for half The tier
So i’m only at like 33,5
And i dislike islands :p The only positive thing i have to say about that content is that it’s quick lol
It's not quick anymore 👀
All I’ve been doing is the blue slayer quests that yield AP. It takes about 20 minutes and on good days you can pull 2-4K AP depending on if you did them all the day before and if there were a lot of spawns.
Who ever does the small green ap wqs deserves an award
Lol, doing everyday in the morning and end of the day on my 2 chars WQ's 😃
But are you doing all of them?
Yes.
You clear both maps?
Even arathi and darkshore 😃
Lmfao whatever mate 😉
Man you have some serious discipline
Lol gained 16k AP today just WQ's and looted 4 boxes.
I really cba to grind for traits i already have anyway just on higher pieces
I dont really know if 16k is really time waste to be honest :/
Well if you are above 38 i’d say you can give it a rest for now :p
Just wanna make sure that my rogue is ready for next raid, so he can pick directly the traits 😃
Almost 38 aiming for 40
Unless you play at The absolute bleeding cutting edge ofc but if you do who am i to give you advice
As long as you don't burn out, go for it
+5 item lvl on new raid pieces is around 44 in hc i think
42 last i saw.
Then it was for mythic
38 normal 40 hc 42 mythic. as far i see
The +5 or defensive ones?
+5
38 for dps traits right?
4% to 38
Also have you noticed that The first boss drops an azerite helm with ss and double dose on it :p
Same ring or on both rings together?
No clue tbh just The fact that it has both traits and it drops from The first boss was good enough for me to be happy lol
I’ll look into it
Daggers on 4th boss tho that’s a shame
Thats dumb
Lol my bad, i see mythic +5 is 46 damn
38 Normal 42 HC, 46 Mythic
I kinda dont like ''nothing personal'' i dont see any damage boost of it
Lol :p 1st boss so good
It drops a 2 hander aswell
Welfare loot from blizz just handing it over on The 1st boss :p
On your screen in the upper left corner, is that an elvui feature?
Any insights on when The max m+ reward Will scale up to 15+ again btw?
If ever
Hmm shame really
The difference between a 10 and a 15 is so huge they should reward you for The trouble :p
+10 will just yield higher itemlvl with s2
Question is if the base %values get increased
Kinda excited with that new season ability no more ''infested'' Lol
Will The scaling in difficulty happen on day 1 of The tier?
When mythic raid opens
They have not tested The new seasonal 1 afaik right?
It should be come out in the new season as far i heard.
Yeah but i’m kinda scared for it to be broken if they have not tested it
But w/e we’ll see
I don't even know what it does right now
whats everyone going for in terms of professions
Every 20% of progress the marked mob will come back as ghost and hunt you
Alchemy is always the awnser
for the crafted items? lol
If you want the best crafted items you go JC
Because a 415 with socket is better than 415 without
So... who thinks this is going to be stupidly broken, and most groups will dissolve at the 20% mark the first time this happens? I doubt even the best players in the world could take on the trash of an entire dungeon at once on a 10+ key. Bolstering, volcanic, and explosive w...
Ontop of the fact that you can loot a good ring and not replace your crafted item
mmmmmmm
thats pog
Just gotta get that zandalar 150 mainstat ring (assuming it works while in raid) and you're set with that and a jc ring
The 2set, ring+cloak
Its not clear wether or not it works inside the raid though, probably not but possibly
wait what jewels did you do ;o
also worth farming out that ring for 300 honorbound medallions or whatever?
i already got 241, i think its easy to farm :>
CT is 3+ targets, right?
ye. bigger pulls
Is DS/Sang supposed to be outperforming TB/Vigor?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dVAyb2ipth5bYtAZgiwAq6
yeh that 395 ring is really nice, loving the insta port to boralus helps a lot 😄
Exsang can outperform tb depending on gear
DS, thats interesting. But sims are pretty accurate
Anyone get a glitch where they attack something but no combo points occur at all
no matter what
gotta attack from behind
😄
Yo im the rogue in abovementioned sim
Would Dagger be better than a DD/NP trait for G'huun progress?
For zul now is sub or assa better?
!SPEC
All specs are good. Specific ones shine in specific areas.
Check the following resources for the facts:
Warcraft Logs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/19#class=Rogue
Raider.io: https://raider.io/mythic-plus/season-bfa-1/all/world/leaderboards-strict
is construct overcharger any good for m+?
not really, in AoE haste loses a ton of value
and most of m+ is aoe
it can be fine though, but there are definitely much better trinkets
wait. you mention the 415 ring. but the ilvl cap is 425 right
scrub question here: would you take echoing blades over archive in m+ this week?
depends on the dungeon
good point. Was doing Freehold, which made me feel like it'd be worth it considering the size of the packs
freehold is probably the best one
same goes for motherlode, depending on the pulls
i would definitely not pick it for tos and it didn't do that much for me in kr either
i would say other than those 2 its actually a really strong trait for everything else
if i understood correctly, if you are doing low level mythic keys, the best choice of traites would be: 1xSS 1xEB and 1xArchive of titans? Once i find a good group, that pulls big, i could go for 2xEB 1xSS ?
preferably small pulls: 3x SS or 2x SS and 1x archive latter most likely easier to get
small pulls and stuff lives for an eternity 2x SS 1x SoB
big pulls like you said 2x EB 1x SS
yeah......right
Well yes, it would be better for those short big pulls
But not worth for a dungeon 😄
for when you feel like doing some heroic dungeons
hi, how would you guys sim for ghuun? should i go full single target or is it worth going more aoe?
i'm currently using 375 archive to have DD and SS but i'm simming higher in ST with 390 twist and changing SS for archive
sim highest burst dps
like 20s
only dmg that counts is during beam and the last 20%
alright ty i wil try
that doesn't mean you should sim your stats for a 20s fight @deep meteor
but you want the highest burst possible
for logs
Only the last phase matters, the burst during beams is pretty irrelevant
Assuming you're talking mythic for progress
For logs you just want to stay in p1 and be the only one padding for as long as possible
@rose violet dont worry i was only wondering about traits
@spice surge yes for progress
you both made it clear i'll focus on ST for last phase and beam, thanks for help
Scent of blood or apothecary concortions guys?
Got archive on shoulders and shrouded on chest
m+ or raid?
Pff...mostly raid.but let’s say both.
Sim it
well in M+ you shouldn't use archive right? lots of better options
Scent is good for m+ because you can put out a lot of ruptures
if you want to avoid reforging all the time then go for scent
otherwise the apothecary thing should be better
Aight ye makes sense!thanks!
Archive isn’t good for raid?i got double dose as an alternative.shall I go there?sorry I am new player
And archive is decent for m+
But there are definitely a few better traits
For raid you need one piece for RA
Cause it's a lot of stats
RA?
Reoriginstion array
yea that's what i mean, without RA so many better options for m+
Ok
Are there any references to top trinlets/azerite pieces for season 2 and next raid?
I will try 2x ss sob ,instead of aott ss sob
its just
people always say there are better options when there are only a few and they're mostly proc based
@rose violet @vast forum thank you for the answers, was afk and didnt read 😃
the best traits for sin rogue in m+ are not proc based?
anyone know of a guide for what M+ mob/boss abilities are negated by cloak/evasion? like jes's daggers/smoke bomb, harlan's bombs, etc, etc?

how the heck is this darkmoon trinket still better than all my other trinkets on ST sim lol
its tuned quite well 😃
yeah id say haha
ill still be using it but dam hate seeing that 355 trinket equipped haah
I had to wait for a 390 frenetic to finally replace mine. I think it beat by like 80 fps according to my sim lol
Dps
Yeah that's what I'm kind of thinking waiting to get a 390 one or a 385 with a socket lol
im only using a 370 gc and 375 dice and fathoms sims lower
380gc 370dice, for pure st fathoms is still better
GCB is amazing, Exsang or not
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
It's just better with Exsang because of the snapshotting
even with 1ss and 380gcb TB sims better then exsang for me
was like that for me until I got 2 SS, then exsang simmed higher in almost all situations
I'm at like
a bunch of breakpoints and have tons of sockets
and I can't figure out if I should be going exsanguinate or not
I feel like i'm doing something wrong, is anyone around to help
Tons of sockets, what a drag
im using tb with gc as well. sims more than fathoms
everything is within 0.1% of each other
I have fathoms, 385 CO, 370 socketed CO, 370 Dice
What is the cap for rogue assa?
cap of?
About 12 agility should do the trick
haste has no cap from what ive noticed in my stat weights. but mastery is a higher dps increase for me point for point over crit rn. 1130 haste , 1011 crit and 822 mastery. this is all only with array though
Theres no caps, sim for stat weights

Anyone see what we are looking at for BIS azerite?
hello guys, simple question to you, i dont have echo blade trait, and not this talented what increased damage over time, i more often play with posion bomb or tempest. What the question is, when do i use fan of knives over multilate ? i saw some streamer use it at 2 targets, but probably because of some kind of traits right ?
guys i need ur help, played shadow since bc and never touched a rogue yet. playing assa rouge but ive no fucking idea how to deal damage.
applying garrote and rupture (sometimes from stealth) and then? just spam toxic blade and envenom and rebuff garotte and rupture when it goes off?
capping at 8k, simming 14k - the fuck? i guess theres something missing, like stacking sth or dunno
Can you teach me how to spam toxic blade?
keep garrote/rupture up all the time, watch out for the pandemic timers(if you played shadow that should not be a problem)
use TB on cd and get 2x envenom out while TB is up
use finishing moves at 4 or 5 combo points, dont overwrite buffed dots(garrote from stealth with subterfuge)
thats pretty much it
TB? mate
toxic blade
no? just use it on cd
dont worry about low APM, thats pretty normal for assassination in bfa
you maybe know a solution for my problem @royal lantern ?^^
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
kk ty ^^
the guide is linked right there and covers all situations/talents
@strange python multitarget is pretty much, spread garrote/rupture too 3-4 enemys(priortiy on important targets that need too die faster like casters) then envenom or CT if you took the talent when your bleeds are up
You know what rogue needs? An aoe stun
nah
then we would be dh
and only dh is allowed too have everything while having the best sustain and best mobility ingame at the same time, for other classes that would be broken
When you say it like that it makes sense
Sounds like rogue needs another nerf
shuriken storm removed from sub rogue
sstrike removed
new spec name´´reroll sin/outlaw allready´´
i hope so - i already shelfed my 389 rogue to make boomkin and ele sham my mains for 8.1.5 😃
Rogue4lyfe
^
go away with that dirty ranged dps
standing still and watching the same cast bar filling itself 5x in a row, thats engaging gameplay, am i right?
I would just die from fall damage, being a panda Rogue I can basicly jump of every ledge I can find and survive
Playing dh is fine though, but stuff like shaman? Yikes
This looks like a nice M+ trinket
do we allready know wich trinkets in the next raid are good or not?
@spice surge ik man, panda rogue is the best, people chase you, you jump down a cliff and lose 20%hp, they jump after you and die ❤
storm wasnt removed tho
oop i didnt read the one above lul
single target - DDx2 or SSx2?
raid or dungeon
raid
DD
ss is good for shorter fights, like most dungeon boss fights in fort weeks, DD wins on sustained dmg and pure st
ty!
Hi i wonder if you use Double Dose on 2 azer gear do it stack?
dmg effects stack, bonus effects not
example: you get more dmg from having 2x shrouded suffocation, but not more combo points
Ty
im simmin better with 1 DD and 1 dagger in the back than 2x DD
still should go with DD's or trust raidbotts?
Don't use Dagger in the Back.
dagger sims with always hits from the backside and pretty high prochance if im right
wich is not true for real raidfights
why dont they make it sim from always forward
id rather see worst case scenario than best case
sims also have 100% uptime
actually i'm kind of curious now, what's the dps value of standing behind vs. the front?
on patchwerk i guess
how is assassination in raids?
ok
whats the best spec?
from looking at WCL, demo warlock seems strong, boomkins, ele shams, spriests
and i think fury warriors
let me look again
but yeah depends on the fight i guess and how many adds there are
i've heard the next raid has a lot of council type fights so dot classes will be very good
i meant best rogue spec
I was thinking of making a switch to outlaw for next raid but im just performing lower than sin. Even with higher ilvl weap
I also never tried the echo hidden blades combo i was curious about

anyone have a good collection for multi dot tracking
I had one but I fried my SSD over xmas
Nameplates
now I found another one but it's not as good. the one I had tracked target names and whether or not DP dropped off by turning green
Mizerok has rupture and garrote multi target counting, you don't need anything more
whoaa this is really useful, thanks for making these @civic palm
I just ported them for use, didn't makem.
oh, I can't read
So, M+. Is it better to run 3 390 SS traits, or 2 390 SS + 1 Archive?
I wouldnt run archive in m+ vs. sob, ss, or eb
32 OMEGALUL
SSx2 or SSx1 + EBx1 for M+?
prolly depends how big you pull, affixes and dung i found 1 eb kinda crap in kings rest last week but that probably the worst dungeon for it
id presonally go ss
but it up to you
Was raidbots bugged or something last week? I was simming in the 19k range but now its showing me in the 17k range
are you sure you have array activated?
Hmmm I guess I had optimal raid buffs turned off when I did it. Showing 19k again
hey noob alt here, is EB worth stacking for m+? just got a 2nd 385 piece over a 375 double dose
since it's basically a dead trait on ST, not sure if stacking 2 is a good idea
@spare fractal a guildie of mine is running 2 eb and 1 ss for m+ but they pull decently big too
@spare fractal depending in how aoe focused your group is, its in my opinion better to be leaning towards aoe dmg
you gain a lot of time by clearing trash faster
should try to avoid it if you're already aoe heavy and destroying packs in 5 sec
boys do multiple shrouded suffocations stack and should I use more of them?
@jagged gazelle the damage portion stacks and you should in some situations use more than one
the trait is not the best one when it comes to raiding but it is by no means a bad one
hmmmm I have one on my helmet and one on my chestplate currently but I'm thinking of switching one on the chestplate with dagger in the back
is that so
Dagger is garbaj
I thought it was good since it sims good on bloodmallet
so im gonna just roll double shrouded suffocation
i does SIM good
Sims assuming 100% on conditional
The more SS the better I think, have 3 now and it feels absolutely amazing
shrouded is not far behind dagger and its far more practical
alright then thanks for advice
np
It also sims better if you play exsang
thats debatable but theres at least not a big difference
Thoughts on replacing 1 shrouded with 1 echoing blades for M+ (currently run 2 shrouded 1 arhcive)
is archive good in M+ i only been using it in raid and running 3x SS for M+
@deep solstice 1 EB for dungeons with bigger pulls e.g. freehold, archive is quite good for stuff like KR or TOS if you have no better alternative
@atomic willow archive is quite good for m+ but not quite as good as SS
when u get 4 envenoms in tb 🤤
My shoulder traits are just kind of all over the place. I have most of the Dungeon specific traits, but no SS shoulders
I run Blood Rite with 2X SS a lot of the time
can someone help me level today, i just boosted my rogue on sargeras
so I can go from 380 offhand dagger to 385 (MH is 385 already) or I can upgrade my SS chest piece from 375 to 390... I guess I'll sim it but I wonder which is smarter considering I'll more likely (in future loot) get a 385 dagger than a 390 chest piece with SS and the fact that the chest piece is a 15 ilvl upgrade vs a 5 ilvl upgrade
I do like the idea of having all 390 azerite gear finally
Offhand ilvl is basicly irrelevant. The chest is 100% the correct option
ah yeah, you're right
looking at the stat weights for offhand are pretty depressing lol
Offhands are just stat sticks, having a socket is most of the time better than 15-20 ilvls on it
aight, chest piece it is then, thx
I think so, u prob wanna sim it though heheh
just noticed that i have scrapped my 385 plumage.. 😄
Anyone got a link to a discussion or simstuff about the new upcoming raid azerite pieces and which combination of traits to aim for?
How much haste you guys running on Tyrannical weeks as assa?
did they change CT or poison bomb? the sin guide says to just use poison bomb all the time
not that i know of
CT it's mostly for pulls that last 10+secs, high keys mostly

anyone? 😃
If only there was guides in the pins that would mention such things
my non ss gear is simming with subterfuge as highest dps
how does my rotation on opener work with this sim wtf
I'm so confused as well
My SS gear sims almost 400 dps lower
Came here for some sort of peace
SS is a must? no matter what?
@sleek iron there's a list of openers in the pinned guide, for different talent set ups
@fading vigil SS is a good trait, but there's better combos for pure ST
SS shines in M+ where you can restealth between each pack and get huge value, but even then if you pull big enough there are other better options
It's situational
well fuck me sideways man =*( i hate those answers but yes, very true
Wish i had someone to hold my hand and just point me out to what would be best haha
What exactly are you looking to gear for?
I am building a mythic plus set, but wiht the chest piece i got
I had no SS
put me in a shitty situation
I'd say build towards what your group needs
can you shroud past a teeming shield bearer in atal? or past the early teeming pack in temple? just curious before I start doing keys for the week

Depends Kasharan, the ones teemed right before the giant boss do not have truesight until they are aggroed once
what do you guys think of the trait nothing personal?
Its good for burst, it wouldnt suprise me if there was a boss with a tight burst window where you might stack it
But its basicly doing the same thing as shrouded does, except its less versatile
I much prefer it over poisoned wire that used to be on those pieces though, more options are always welcome
Yeah for overall dps, the new stat traits are pretty good too though
I think treacherous was slightly better than DD, assuming you can keep your hp above 50%
i think we need too take treacherous 1x anyway?
for the new array thing that will probably come with it
There hasnt been anything similar to array thats been datamined
what really?
i thought the idea was pretty good, not over nerfing fights, give the players slowly more power over time too get the kills done
Titanforging and sockets already do that though, as does AP
Shadowmeld gives a empowered garrote yes?
not in raids
But you only get the SS trait buff
what really?
You dont get subterfuge
so u get 1 off basically
In dungeon trash you can meld to get proper stealth, and thus subterfuge
Only the ss buff, so its not as impactful as it might sound
have u guys tried https://www.wowhead.com/item=164983/rhankas-escape-plan
But it won't work on dungeon or raid bosses, can only get the 1 SS buffed garrote there
toy acts as shadowmeld
Doubt its usable in raids/m+, but maybe idk
If blizz was lazy and basically just copied the meld buff effect, probably works
15min CD though, far from worth tbh
yea i havent tested it yet i know people have been using it in m+ to basically drop combat

too late, report is out, ban for exploits
I mean having that as a button to press for more burst seems really good
Even if it’s every 15 mins

would you guys suggest pb or CT for 13 motherlode?
nothing personal vs rezan for m+
Guys i have some trouble aoeing as asa...do you guys garrote+rupture everything or just 1-2 targets and then FoK+envenom?
did something weird happen to simc in the last couple days, im suddenly simming a couple hundred less in every category
@supple compass I think someone broke the sims it's telling me to take some crap azerite traits and other get rid of my haste which anything under my current % makes me do 2-4k less damage
@supple compass On a serious note though even though that's happening always make sure you have AoE and ST Selected for the sim that you want to perform
always trust those sims... topkek
I mean, if you have some type of evidence of it not working take it to #tc-research
Or post a sim showing something odd
when using exang I should wait for bleeds to finish before reaplying it? no pandemic right?
@supple compass you can check the changes
Yes
You let them tick out
Or atleast very minimal pandemic
thanks mate. i'm trying to squeeze everything out of bleeds for pvp
do not use exsang for pvp
I know poisons are better but I just like exsang more. I played through all of legion with toxic blade i'm a little burned out
how much tr do you get from srapping 385s
ah ty, and with 1 cshb, would u take gutripper for unstable flames
on the same piece
unstable seems unreliable
what is everyones action bars like? also what should i be using to move
Everyone uses different stuff, most people use WASD or keyts around there to move
I use W for forwartd, A D to strafe left/right
when pulling a pack of mobs and ur applying ur garrotes with SS, do you rupt before casting ur 3rd garrote or it dosent matter if u miss out on the free cp from the ss garrotes?
so ull go garoote,garrote,rupture ,garrote
kk yeah that was my thinking
One of the few times its worth wasting CP
Hey, I ran a few keys with the new affixes for this week and I was just wondering if it was worth it to take toxic blade over exang on tyr weeks? The guide says either or so I was just wondering. Thanks!
is there a point where haste starts to DR that we should try to stay under?
I can swap gear around and float between 14-16%. With 16% it's my highest stat so it will get boosted in Uldir
any 1 good at reading logs here ?
@celest cobalt no, not really
Exsang is just better all around for m+
@delicate crater
it is a very common misconception that there is some haste breakpoint for all 3 specs, there isn't
Ok thanks 😃
so Raidbots will take into consideration the RA stacks
yep
that was my concern
updates it dynamically too
so itll swap based on procs both in the sim and in the game
you can manually switch RA stacks in 'simulation options" setting
but it detects how many you should have by default
Does Nothing personal trait stack?
so if I have 2 390 with those and a archive thats good then
your 2nd one is gonna be weaker but not by much
hmmm.....EB or Archive for UR this week? (with 2 SS)

@spice sorrel most likely archive
because of the better boss damage or pulls not big enough to warrant EB?
still trying to figure out when to run EB and when to run archive
generally DH and boomy/fmage
in general i would go more ST focused for KR, UR TOS and with the dungeon changes one could argue for TD
the thing about TD is that you could pull more but most groups will just skip most of it and use the cannons
i know
3 SS still strong for me
DD is quite nice for tyrannical tho
If you havr a good aoe group
for me its not that EB is weak with only a few mobs but that some dungeons cant be completed in time without huge dmg on the boss
yeah I been trying to contemplate if I should run CT or PB on most dungeons
typically CT is better in most cases
but if they pulls are small or you need boss damage, then thats when PB is taken
Well
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.
oh fuck its a command now
You don’t gain that much damage from pb
thanks tisumi 
oo
yeah but not much > nothing at all
for sure, I been only playing this rogue as an alt
You can make that argument for a lot of stuff
but I'm learning it and its a lot more fun than this ret pally
but PB isn't bad, CT is better in most cases but PB is also viable
I actually get invited to pugging m+ ;D
and PB is entirely passive which makes it much easier to use
!avoidancecap
do you even use CT on ST? or only for 3+
no
not ST
3+
it doesnt hit hard enough, and you dont get venomous wounds for the energy return
Wasn’t it also good for 2 targets but not highest priority?
no
Why you all so lazy 😄
you can refresh/use CT on 2 targets once you have everything up
so I know that in every situation, even p3 mythic g'huun, blindside is terrible. but I'm curious why it's terrible, because I'm desperate for more buttons to press and prefer using it
is it because, essentially, it's built to get you CP's faster with less energy while we're drowning in haste already?
It’s a bit less energy for I think minor to no damage gain
its worse at generating combo points

Blindside: Is an additional ability with both a proc and an execute effect. It makes the rotation a bit more diverse but is currently not really worth to be taken. The effect it has during the execute phase is a bit underwhelming since it competes with Mutilate which awards more combo points, more crit chances for Seal Fate, and more chances for poison applications.
jesus. that's disappointing. thanks.
I could actually feel that subconsciously even when I tried it on g'huun's execute phase - I kept hitting mutilate even past 35% because it was just better
what a garbage talent
if you want more buttons to press strafe with A/D and jump like the rest of us
That’s why it used to be baseline
lol I've been a rogue 8 years but never that kind of rogue, I guess I"m not a real rogue
So it could be stronger
yeah baseline TB and blindside would be great
this is so bad, I actually have nothing to put on my 2 key now that I swapped from blindside because I'm muscle memory'd to s-1 for envenom and 3 for rupture

I've had S-1 be eviscerate/envenom since tier 11
you dont
I think I'm going to put mutilate in that spot just out of spite
S-1 
the suds debuff in freehold is legitimately the worst thing
I always fucking stun myself
from jumping
shift - 1 is pressing 1 but with more pizzazz
I basically spam 1 and put my pinkie on shift for finishers
Jesus
feels good and works
Talking about pb for easier use
looks good plays great
I try to avoid using modifier keys
for some reason modifier keys work best for me. it might be because I'm quarter monkey
if s-1 finisher made you mad then you probably don't like that I bind sprint to a-1
All that I need
I never have anything important bound to 5, I don't know how anyone would do that

Oh boy
has been since like, WotLK
What do you use r for
trinket, usually
That’s fair I guess
You gotta work for it
yeah shit. no fatfingering that
if I accidentally hit the T key, that's all on me
that's kind of impressive
I use a Razer naga so I got some extra keys
I got one recently too but being a mut rogue all I have to put on it are cheap shot and my engineering belt lol
sometimes I put healthstone there
Uuuhhh fancy
I feel like I'm giving someone an anyeurism
it's just that I've been doing it one way for 8 years and whenever I change things I fuck things up, and I don't seem to be having a problem with hitting stuff accidentally or moving too slow
I've always had the tendency to change my keybinds slowly so I don't confuse myself
Something like that
maybe what I have is a kraken, or is that the headset? idfk
17 i think
the one I have has just two extra buttons
Kraken is the Headset
you can tell that I'm very passionate about my peripherals
Razer mice have snake names
I don’t use it because I’m passionate but because I would have to stop playing wow
Missed opportunity for sure
Maybe you just haven't seen it yet 
anyone have good authoriy over sin in m+?
im trying to find a different source of statting than raidbts because it doesnt seem that good at judging for m+
DD is better than NP in M+ right?
Probably not.
dumb as f question maybe but, do i need to be wearing an archive piece for it to stack RA or can it just be in bags
kk cheers
CT or PB for TD this week?
with 2 ss and 1 sob, I've found pb to be a smooth this week
kk thx
what’s sob?
scent of blood
anyone know if theres something similar to RA for next raid
i cant see it
Nothing has been announced
Supposedly there is not
freeeeeeeeeeeeedom
Yeah RA is interesting but sucks for alts
Just sucks for anyone who had to reroll midtier
Or level an alt for prog or whatever
Def
It's insane that there's 0 in game explanation for it either
I just want my little crown transmog
it seems like a lot of gear after season 2 starts has shrouded suffocation added to it, but I guess we still gotta get new pieces of that gear right?
You kinda have to, since all your gear before season 2 wont have the extra ring
and thats gonna be pretty bad even if you're comparing best to mediocre traits
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
So, push week and tyrannical - how much haste do we run this week? 12-15%? Or still lower bc of teeming?
Hey 😃 Is assa still viable for the 8.1 raid?
why would it not be still viable 🤔
There is a lot of DD & SS pieces in the next raid
I tried the last few days as outlaw but it just feels better coming back to sin
i wonder if sub wont be better than assa until they nerf TFD
because rn TFD is better than 10x array
but you lose array in the next tier
Hey, would someone be kind enough to take a look at my M Mythrax logs from last week. I'm, new to rogue this expac, but I feel like I'm not doing near the damage I should have been so far this tier as highlighted in my Mythrax fight.
Hello quick question on azerite powers i only have a few meager option and i would like to know if i should go with shrouded suffocation instead of archives on m+ (i only have 1 SS) + Echo blades...no aditional option my 3rd piece sadly...or go with 2x scent of blood...for m+ i've seen the bloodmallet data and are using the import string from there in AzeritePowerWeights but the numbers are misleading as to what i see in general guides and videos for m+ ...thoughts please 😃
shrouded and archive are good for m+ pretty much all the time
echoing blades is situational
yeah but got them on the same piece and is wondering which one i should pare with either echo blades or scent of blood or i should run 2x scent...can change my 3rd piece..
scent if more versatile than echo but works kind of the same way
can't change*
the bigger the pull the bigger the value
scales on crit
uselessish on ST
scent however is useful on 2 target fights
one question about vendetta which has been asked many times I guess but does vendetta take into account the dmg done from rupture and garrot if you cast them before you use vendetta? (dunno if I am clear)
it gives the same agi as archive, and outscales it starting 3 targets
shrouded works everywhere and you should always have atleast 1
I imagine you have raid pieces only ?
kk that takes my options too 1 SS and either 1 ecor or 1 scent i guess cent is the way to on tyranical weak
the thing is that scent isn't worth it most of during tyrannical weeks
if so go for archive head scent shoulders SS chest
nope i only have one raid piece actually
depends of the level of the key
but if you have no better option
you can still get value out of scent on higher keys
because mobs don't get deleted
depends on your comp aswell
if I run with dh frost mage for exemple on a low health dungeon like siege and I happen to play assa instead of sub i'd go triple SS or 2SS 1 archive
only got one head piece as its my only 385 piece...i scrapped the other headed pieces as i didn't know the value of some of the traits vs ilvl
ye
EB is only amazing on freehold and motherlode imo
you can recover scrapped head pieces with the blizzard tool
in case you didn't use that already
i think it's 1 item every 2 weeks or something
as many as you want
allright i'll give that a go...used the restore service 14 days ago should be up tommorow and im gonna restore it
hmm don't think i can restore my azerite pieces i have no residiumm
did you buy azerite items?
yup i gambled a 385 and 370 to see if i could get another ss
hmm yeah that would have been better i reckon...oh well hopefully the rng gods while shine their light upon me in the next tier 😛
it's alright the new items will cost so much that saving since 8.1 won't be a big deal
unless your guild gives you all the azerite to scrap
and even then if what they said on the Q&A is true
it will only be a 1/6 of the cost
its fine to be honest my guild isn't very competetive in raiding we hc and dapple a bit with mythics thats i i focus a bit more on m+ this expac
dw about it then 😄
anyways ty for the advice i guess i'll run hc uldir with my archive before i switch it to SS for key push this weak 😃
week*
yeah traits and spec for st heavy M+ (KR, ToS) and AoE heavy M+ (ML, WCM, FH) plz
aware it’s tyrannical, but if we’re talking 17/18+
3xshrouded/2x shrouded 1x archive (ST) or 1x shrouded 2x echoing blades (AOE)
is it worth sacrificing 1 ss for np this week? my np piece is also 390 compare dto 374
m+ or raid @wary anchor
m+
kk
the dmg you gain on trash makes up for the one you lose on bosses
also teeming this week so even more trash
Dagger in the back + OP vs SS + gutripper
sims says SS + gutripper does more dps like 100 on single target and on aoe over 2.1k more
any other opinions ?
because the differences is pretty huge if i sim, but the bloodmallet says OP + dagger in the back is better then SS + gutripper but sims not ... even u read the procs u see the OP + dagger does more at least more stats 847 + gutripper .. when power gives 625 haste + 4x 1911 from dagger
prob have to do some dummy testing ....
there is no encounter where you get 100% uptime on the boss and can be behind him all the time
bloodmallet and herodamage just sim a patchwerk encounter
and there's none currently
shud i use exang or tb with 2 ss traits for m+?
exsang always
enifire what is ur mythic + score ?
1870 or something
exsang is more fun
tbh
more energy = more apm = more fun
we're just lucky it's also better
exsang is not better....?
it deepens on your stats and traits if TB or exsang is better
tbh it's really close and depends on your traits, stuff
well...
you'll most likely use ss traits
so exsang is automatically better
not to mention the fact the that tb does nothing but increase your nature damage on that specific target
and a combo point
Not that it's as much quality of life as exsang
im running around with 1xss and exsang is still worse then tb for st fights
sooo.....
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not trying to parse uldir 3 weeks away from next tier tbh
so I'll go with exsang for st
hey guys do u still do that thing where u clip elaborate planning or poisoner at the last second with envenom in bfa?
you do
hm ok thanks
Gut ripper is better than head my call guys?
no
Ok
gut ripper can be good for padding on ghuun, but thats pretty much it
???
Gutripper is "only" good for the most relevant phase on g'huun
I'd def use gutripper over heed

should i be running heavier on crit even on weeks like this w/tyrannical
first time getting a group that does actual pulls and i feel like i'm FoK way too much
I don't know i have none
idk you can sim it. Prob around 150
Question regarding echoing blades trait.
„For first five crits additional fan of blades“.
They mean once you have 5 crits with fan of blades theb you spread an additional one?
Or random 5 crits like white hits etc?
Wasn't there a breakpoint for mobs where you stop using finishers and just spam FoK (like that first pull of ML)? I thought I remembered someone talking about it
So it will spread from 5 of the targets hit with the crit FoK...amko. Say you have more than 5 targets in a pack, it'll not spread from all of them, just the first five hit by that FoK
Is my understanding
lol can anyone please explain me why this trait is so much stronger than in my case 1x SS? http://prntscr.com/m295xx
some enlighten me please? traits seems shiit tbh
Is that a 5 minute fight?
ya 5 minute ST fight
Equal ilvl?
yes same ilvl
Oh TB
Makes sense at least for twist the knife. 1 SS isn't great for extended fights with TB
Idk what the new trait is
Like i said. Ss doesnt sim nutty
Really just strong for m+ atm (unless you have bad traits/lower ilvl)
ok thx guys
gives some sick burst on things like ML first boss tho
What does?
SS + exsang
Oh, yeah it does
somone else has a problem since this reset that SS doesnt work right
like, ~20%of the time im using garrote from stealth it isnt buffed and i only get 1 cp
So what traits are people running in Uldir? I have ss, archive, dd.
DD archive and NP are the best for most raidfights
Alright. I just really like the extra combo point lol. I have a helm with NP I will try out.
That would put me with NP, DD, Archive.
are you sure about NP? i haven't seen any of the top parses on WCL use NP, it still seems to be like 1 AOT, 2 SS or 1 AOT, 1 SS, 1 DD
reworked NP is still pretty new +SS is not bad, its really good for fights like fetid where you need fast burst with exsang
did they just rework it or something?
NP was poisoned wire or how it was called before
oh, the same from 8.1 - i thought you meant it got buffed after it came out
well go look at WCL - they have about 20 days of parses now and none of the top parses uses NP
on ST fights, it's still primarily AOT, DD, and SS
On Vectis do you ignore add when you have vendetta up?
Or just out a rupture on it and go back to boss?
i think it depends if you're talking about progression or farming/padding? you don't want the add to cast immunosupression twice or it'll affect your healers significantly
if you have enough dmg on the adds anyway, just keep padding on the boss is fine i think
but the add is the priority target to help your healers out - it's really a healing intensive fight more than anything else
Alright. Thank you.
anyone know what the diff colors of each person in the chat means? like why are some people yellow, red, and light blue?
oh, it's based on spec? that's weird - i'm mostly assass 😛
sounds like a addon does that?
You can change your role @sonic marten
where's that at?
#bot-spam
oh i see what's going on - i did both so i could be in both chats and for some reason it prioritized outlaw over assass
Yeah it does that, you can remove Outlaw if you want it to be red
It doesnt limit you to that channel
For me 375 chest with ss/heed sims worse than 390 with NP/gutripper on Patchwork fight 3min. Have to try 5min or something pretty funny. The ss would be my second one in the gear. Always exsang talented
If I have a Rogue with all Artifact appearances unlocked, and I make another rogue for the Heritage Armors, will it have the appearances my main has?
But playing mainly m+ so 2x SS + Echoing now
Thats not surprising amko, thats a big ilvl jump
Ah sorry tawney
Ss one sims better
Thats the strange thing haha
Every1 going with exsang in m+ right?
:p
Yeah p much
Exsang just plays better in m+ imo. Not too certain the dmg difference on trash is worth mentioning (you kinda have to insta reapply both bleed when exsang finishes for it to be a dmg boost), but with a crit/mast heavy gearset youre just so drained on energy for Tb it feels awful
the fire-and-forget nature of Ex is nice too, compared to Tb which kinda locks you too a single target
TB before a 5pt envenom or after?
I mean. Mut tb. (5cp). Env is fine.
is a 375 shrouded suffocation azerite piece better than most 390s?
ok
Anyone mind taking a look at these logs? I'm Tej and I'm trying to match the other rogue's, Gosu's damage. I know he has 400 more haste than me with RA, but other than that, is he just sticking to the boss more than I? This is Ghuun so I just care about P3 really.
so with envenom chaining, are you waiting for the envenom buff or the planning buff
EP
@cold dragon I can take a look at your logs in a few min if no one else does
Just ping me in 10min or something if you're still looking
Thank you
2xSS and 1xarchive is pretty good this week
If you're going 2x SS for m+ might as well go all in for 3
Echoing Blades is prob huge with teeming
horde has no way of getting a high ilvl helmet with SS tho 😦 @lost horizon
unless you buy it ofc, but thats ridiculous at this point imo
thats nasty
Lol
@cold dragon you want me to go over this stuff in DMs or post here?
you've got TB casts with 1 or no envenoms
Alright, some of it might be accounted for by me having to run. I especially care about P3 damage
Will keep that in mind
Ok cool, right I see the zoom
and on your last pull only
you mean Cowl of Fluid Machinations @tidal jetty ?
!stats

Should I save tb for moments where I know I can envenom and stick to the boss?
in P3 you should only ever be off the boss very briefly
Is there some way I can talk to the RL's about this? I was doing things like soaking and making sure there wasnt pile up on the boss when waves come out
I guess Im asking how do I improve uptime while not being a detrimant
If you need to go out and soak, you need to make sure your bleeds dont fall off
just reapply before you go soak, you've got a pretty decent window to soak boils
Bleeds dropping = no energy gain
Without the energy from bleeds ticking you'll be too starved to do anything useful
Melee is pretty huge too right? The other rogues top 2 dps sources are melee and envenom. Probably because he also doesnt miss envenoms in TB
Is 3 Gutripper good or sub par for this fight? I can change one or two to Unstable flames or Heed My Call. No OP on these pieces unfortunately
I mean, gutripper is generally the highest simming trait besides overwhelming, and its fantastic on g'huun
The procc chance of gutripper is 1 rppm, but if its execute its 6 rppm
So, keep it as is I guess.
@pale agate yes, cant get it above 340 as horde afaik, other than buying it from the vendor
1 x SS with 2x NP are a good trait for single target ?
nice, I just got it yesterday by buying a random 385
??? Those have no synergy at all
