meh idk
That's not true lol
Best cd ingame is shadowblades 
I mean... Its up there if you're running ds
There is talk about food buffs being released that will give ability to debuff
outlaw is pretty potent on forti weeks
because on high forti weeks you get 2x uses of ar
whereas you dont get 2 uses of vendetta usually
Yeah but that's more cuz Vendetta is a cd while AR is more like a hybrid of rotation and cd
true
Ar is a consolation cd
but then vendetta is purely ST cd
Yeah
idk assa doesnt make sense to me
literally most broken and most underwhelming spec
at the same time
smh
My RL at the start of the tier but our dh in last group for mother over our sin rogue
So he just had to sit there and never got a chance to use vendetta ever
So the assa was supposed to do adds?
I joined a new guild and they did mother with crossing in small grps
Yeah assa on adds
It was funny at first but then I told him to put the poor guy in last over the dh
Kidney > chaos nova ez
Im getting flash backs to mother prog and being in first group over as sin rogue
Its easy as sin since u can vanish and silence
I never did small groups on mythic tho
no one said anything about it being easy or hard. Just that its a massive waste of resources to put a sin rogue on adds. We take a large number of GCD's to ramp up dmg and actually be effective. In that time the adds should be dead. So while yes you can waste vanish to apply garrote/iron wire to a couple adds its not the optimal play
Also we for some reason did 15 ppl at once and then 30 seconds later the rest came through
Sin vs 15 adds isn't great
In burst aoe anyway
Worth going double double dose on high tyrannical kings rest? 16+ keys
It's not bad in there but given the option I'd prefer SS to DD for the extra utility in all the 3-pulls in that place
dratnos. linking your routes is cancer, chill on all the text boxes hahaha
Just clear all drawings before sharing in game if you need them to share faster!
Can someone explain why shrouded suffocation is showing such low sims on bloodmallet and other sites, like literally bottom of the list, but all the top rogues seem to be using one trait of it?
most fights are not patchwork
its not the best trink for 100% single but if you can stealth garrote 2 enemies for even once it becomes the best
trait***
Because bloodmallet uses master assassin and not subterfuge for st
As that Sims higher on st
I see, thanks for the info.
does anyone know if we shoudl wait to kill the darkshor world boss on tuesday?
No the ilvl in darkshore will go up with the next cycle so it's safe to kill now
Thats the reason it will update with the next cycle
do I get increased energy regen from enemies with crimson tempest and deadly poison on them or does it have to be rupture/garrote
Rupture, Garrote, and actually Internal Bleeding as well, but not CT unfortunately
Can you imagine if CT did? Drop all haste, stack as much crit as possible, go into a pack, CT, get infinite haste, win in overall all the time
I mean you dont get haste, you get infinite energy regen
infinite haste would mean your bleeds tick faster too
guys, has it ever happened to you like... mutilate and envenom miss ?
because sometimes i mutilate, but it doesnt generate CPs, but i even hear the game sound of the ability... its so wierd. same with envenom, sometimes i envenom and hear the sound the ability makes, but no CPs are spent.
its freaking me out
i just rerrolled from sub and that had never happened to me on any other char/spec
maybe just boralus lag?
Parried?
Hey guys I have forgotten how to sim M+ could someone help me out?
!m+
Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.
Thank you
@quick ice parried by the trainning dummy? didn't know that
I think if you're in front of it it still parries? I'd check your DPS meter.
mmm i dunnno how to check for parried attacks on details
yeah, in the the combat registry doesnt say it was parried, but it says it missed
shit, didnt know that
i though my UI or lag was fking with me
thx mate, this was really freaking me out
sure it didnt happen in subtetly, since shadowstrike teleports em to the dummy's back...
thx!
is there any min maxing with the envenom buff ? or only elaborate planning
I feel like I could play a lot better on asa even though I know the basics, not sure why my damage seems a bit low
The main way to get more globals in with EP and in the envenom window is to avoid envenoming at low energy except in vendetta/TB - if you just focus on doing that you'll naturally do almost all of the work to optimize it
Does anyone have the poison bomb rick and morty meme
Does anyone know how/if well benefit from the new raid trinket that inflicts the bleed?
Trinket sims are up on herodamage
so basically the raid trinkets are all kinda doo doo
upsetting
least the razorclaw is good for outlaw.
rip.
guess having raid trinkets be good is a thing of the past.
gotta farm those M+ over and over
for same gear
Or arena yeah
Also whats with them not making AoE trinkets anymore.
PTSD from glaives probably
glaives was so cool
they already gutted trinkets from not being able to benefit from any ability.....
they dont need to have PTSD.
im pretty sure they dont want raid trinkets to be good, so people do M+ over and over to TF = More playtime.
Moonglaives were sick
I'm assuming because the rotation in ravenholt says vendetta after the rupture, that spell doesn't snapshot, how does the DOT'ing work with this spec? Trying it out.
it just increases the damage during vendetta
Yeah the only things that "snapshot" are Subterfuge, Shrouded Suffocation, and Exsanguinate, so don't refresh those bleeds early
other than that they check damage based on your stats/buffs at the time of the tick
Okay. Thanks, I'll check it out. I think two of those are azerite pieces? Because i'm still @ level 112
traits* I mean.
two are talents
Subterfuge and Exsanguinate are talents so if you aren't specced those you don't have to worry, and Shrouded Suffocation is azerite yeah
SS is a trait
Ah yeah I'm working subterfuge and the poison ability
although I like the concept of exsanguinate, I'm trying to reduce the difficulty until I up my class mastery
yeah great idea - exsanguinate is never that much better and often is worse, and it's way harder to play
ok so yeah the only thing you need to worry about with your bleeds is that if you refresh a subterfuge'd garrote early you'll lose some damage from a few ticks
I like the idea of making the bleeds tick real fast by shoving the blade in ๐
Right. But I mean you only really get 1 sub garrote
and then as many times as you can vanish throughout the fight
right?
3 sub garrotes read the ability again
yeah you can get more on more targets but without Shrouded Suffocation you'll only do one per stealth and one per vanish
on single target
good luck!
Can I use Hidden Blades while leveling? Seems good.
u can, doesnt matter really.
@silver quiver any solo stuff would be best off with garrote trait. you restealth. kill 1-3 at a time. repeat. fok isnt any good until you can pull a ton, and have high crit.
wait is that the fok talent.
meh. zzz
afk a week.
Can you re-stealth before reaping mobs get to you?
if you're in the middle of a pack and they spawn before you're done with the pack you'll be in combat with them, but if you trigger the wave and aren't in combat with anything anymore you can I believe
well I think it would be a very slight timing. Cause the things you just kill would be included. It depends how long it takes for the closest one to aggro the group
Yo guys. I've been on almost a month holiday break. How are we looking for the raid next week? Anything I should look up / shift around? How are specs looking?
Does any spec deal with high level orbs the best? or are they all about as efficient in dealing with them?
Explosive orbs? Sin is definitely the worst at it
outlaw is great for it, sub can kill them too but dumps a lot of extra damage into it
sin feels like ass on explosive ๐ฆ
outlaw is my favorite because you will generally have blade flurry up so you're still doing dmg elsewhere.
With my group comp I would always end up having to kill orbs anyway, so might as well be Outlaw
yea. I don't mind sin if we got another good orb killer (dh, etc) but if I'm pugging you can never really assume people will kill orbs lol
Ifyou're the only one doing it you are just going to be pumping envenoms into orbs each pull
I usually run with a UH DK and a Ret Paladin, because ranged DPS don't exist
and out of those, even as Sin I'd lose the least damage killing orbs, but I'd rather just be Outlaw and abuse blade flurry
Is it correct that Rupture's dps is the same no matter how many CP i use?
ya
so for leveling/very short living enemies, a 1 CP rupture is totally fine
possibly. Idk leveling I did sub
In general, I'd prefer to get a huge energy refund from such mobs so I'd probably use a 4-5 rupture regardless
Guys my guild is currently progressing Ghuun, we are about to kill it tonight, we had 3,4 0% wipes so I guess he is down tonight. I am very low on dps thought and If I can say I am usually much better in dps than in mechs :D. Would some of u with Ghuun kill mind to tell me how to optimise my dps as much as I can. I am not even sure when to use my cds, on 2 lights or on last 20%. I am using 2 gutrippers too to have more dmg on execute phase. I finish pulls mostly like in last 3 spots with 14/15k more or less. Pls help, any tip will mean alot ๐
Im running orbs 3+8 if that means something ๐
Hey guys, ive got some problems with my rog....i have an 368GS...but my damage is so bad i only do 11k on boss...i dont know what i should do better
got Haste: 18%
@manic cairn Look up there at pins in right corner. there is a guide for rogues with all openers and things. Its really good.
i looked it already up^^..

@winter gale how is your phase 3 damage? That's the most important thing - it's rare that your dps in the earlier phases really matters much. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/9qVwLjt3RDnWTzHm#fight=1&type=damage-done This is my progression kill of G'huun - I was also running orbs 3 and 8, which I think are going to lower your overall damage by the most, and my gear was optimized for phase 3 damage,
@rose perch Thank you. U save ur Vendetta for those last 20% in phase 3? And one before u use on Light Beam no1 ?
I didnt save it for last 20% all the times, that was my mistake.
Yes vendetta is a really annoying cooldown on that fight - I used one on pull, one on the first horror, and then i saved my third and final vendetta for the start of the last phase
your guild might be different but for ours we were never in danger of failing to push the boss to 20% in that light beam
so any extra damage you do to G'huun in phase 2 is wasted
any cooldowns you can save for phase 3 should be saved
We dont, we also push it easily. I mean rn everyone is overgeared and its easy to push. I will save everything for it.
Its the only part that matters.
yeah that's how i think about it as well
Thank you once again for ur help ๐
phases 1 and 2 are executing the orb runs and not dying, phase 3 is where all the numbers actually matter
np good luck!
Thanks !
Anybody know whether we should be using bursting blood or agil pots for BoD?
Agi pots as usual
anyone got any idea on how to fight against the training dummy so that i dont "end" the fight when i use vanish?
Set your details to overall and reset before
Prob been asked alot, but when am i gonna use toxic blade and when Exsanguinate
When it sims better
hmm well then im gonna sim it, thanks
!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.
OK thank you
Hey guys. I am relatively new here. Sorry for silly question but where can I find what all those SS, SoD, BoD, TB, CT, PB etc. mean? Are there commands that explain shortcuts?
theres outlaw and sub versions too
not in that link, but just replace assassination in the URL with Outlaw or Subtlety
Sure this has been asked a lot so feel free to summarize:
As for what spec for BoD (I'm striving for top-level play, so answers based on that are appreciated instead of go for fun gameplay):
I'm doing mythic progression with my guild for the sake of gearing for high keys (would LOVE to hit 18+ this season). I love all three specs, but with reaping, I'm guessing combat will be very, very strong for M+. I currently play Sin and I think it's very strong, but just curious on what you guys would choose for progression even if it's only to do high keys (I.e. I want to try and focus one spec for the best gear traits as possible since gearing two specs may be hard).
play sin for bod, its the savest choice.
Think it will do a good job keeping up on blasting reaping?
also a tip, keep your questions short. ppl dont like to read a lot
If you're striving for top level play, you should expect to be comfortable with all 3 specs as they each have their niche.
yes for m+ you sould def. play all 3
for raid you can easy get away with only playing sin, blizz does a horrible job in balancing and sin is almost always the best spec out of the 3 besides it beeing an obviouse good choice for progression due to design
I want to play all three for sure, but figured focusing one for the first few weeks would be strong.
(this does not mean you should not know the basics of sub/outlaw in case there is a edge case where 1 of those is needed e.g. zul)
Awesome, thanks for the answers. I think I have the same amount of time in all specs (haven't been playing a rogue that long, though).
For raid, I'll focus on Sin, but I'll swap if a fight would be a better niche for another.
For keys, I'll figure out what dungeon with what affixes are best for each spec.
Just as a GENERAL idea, would you say these are true:
Assassin: strong single-target, good for fights with breaks off of target, middle of the road AOE with dmg on a strong single target, very high sustained AOE on longer trash pulls (fortified)
Combat: Strongest burst AOE, bit RNG-based, not primarily for single-target
Sub: strong single-target while AOE'ing, great single-target burst, weakest AOE
Just want to get the basics straight.
The was another long post... I prefer one instead of 5 different messages. Wanted to summarize for any readers.
outlaw has the strong burst aoe, sub's aoe is not that good
takes notes
subs main strengh is the aoe-> st
@civic palm if you have a diffrent opinion feel free to contribute to the discussion
I'm going to edit my post above with fixes.
Seems fine.
@vestal wren just to clarify, are -> st means strong single-target while AOE'ING?
AOE* not are
yes sub does a very good job in priority target damage with many targets up
thats why its used for zul
Sin has strong sustained aoe so middle of the road isn't really accurate either
I want to be top 3 on my realm (Hyjal), CE, and hopefully pushing keys higher than 18.
I set goals for everything, or I get bored.
EB is also nice in aoe ๐
top 3 in all star points?
Probably io
Io
I was also looking for "one spec to rule them all" I even consider going Havoc DH cause I frankly dont have time and motivation to keep up with 2 or even 3 specs to do Raids, M+ and PvP. But as far as I see. Sin is safest, easiest and best choice for all content. I can see Outlaw and Sub be good only in very spesific niche ways
@sturdy python if it's sustained, it would require a longer aoe fight, which isn't that commom, yeah?
It's pretty common if you're pushing high keys
@gusty kestrel US
Fortified is a thing
Yeah high keys are all sustained.
You're not gonna burst down an 8 mob pack in a 20
@carmine valve thanks! I like that answer! I miss my DH ๐
@sturdy python ah, forgot to consider non-boss affixes. Will edit my post
I cant play outlaw as long as they got GCD on Blade flurry, I never manage to activate it
o _O
@sturdy python shows my lack of experience, huh ๐
All good, learning is good
Sinister Strike GCD is too much to get around, play SIN instead.
Maybe its my setting but spamming Sinister strikes spellques it to a point I cannot squeeze in BF
I will continue maining SIN, but will be looking for niche reasons to switch to sub/combat.
Thanks everyone! (At gym, so may get spottie)
I rather stop playing outlaw
Outlaw will be even better in the dungeons it's good at with reaping. Might not see it at mdi or anything because people will just bring havoc instead
@carmine valve tbh havoc is bs, blizz gave the spec far to much and balancing is overly strong for them
I do like not having to play a spec by bringing the right comp.
But, isn't it nice having a havoc DH in your group?
havoc is the ONLY spec that is nessecery for a compatitive m+ group
even if they remove dmg from havoc, they still got 5% magic dmg, aoe stun, purge, single target stun, Darkness they have too many tools they wont be removing them in this expansion
given it has no real weakness and brings far to much to the group
The utility is overwhelming with DHs
I would love to see more utility in some other classes
What is looking like the strongest spec going into tier for rogues
!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
Unsure, assassin is the safest bet though
๐ #wow-general ๐
Im sure blizzard is gonna make some heavy changes on the first week for BoD raid
dh has everything. unlimited mobility, insane burst, strong defensives, strong utility, damage amp, strong aoe....
I know that some shine on certain encounter we s but I'm talking. Overall based on all encounters speculation
dh is already the most played dps spec in the game ๐
well back to topic, play sin. Its great for progression
Yeah but if everyone rerolled DH I could answer fewer questions.
@prisma monolith
@gilded arrow Assassination is solid single target, stronger on cleave, BiS in m+ for most dungeons. Very strong in 2s/3s for dmg and mortal strike effect. they also apply aoe mortal strike in RBG
@gilded arrow http://piclair.com/data/ti18x.jpg
sub is due to TfD trait slightly stronger on high uptime pure st fights
I see that pin but siming lowest in 8.1 uldir
this does not mean its a good spec to progress with
I see barely any SUB for Taloc > _>"
More OTL than SUB even...
So?
Sin is lowest for rogues
it does not sim lower, it sims as mentioned slightly higher
How do you sim without simcraft then?
and why only 90th percentile?
Why not 95%?
Not 9tg
Are you looking at overall statistics?
@gusty kestrel ?
You cant use Uldir numbers to predict BoD, the fights in Uldir are probably shorter since people outgeared it, and any fight where you get to multi dot sin would get advantage
Yes overall
Dont
Assa is bad at padding at adds
K not siming
So it will look bad at overall statistic
sub is good in logs due to zul
the statistic is so to say screwed due to zul
@gusty kestrel xoxo
well to be honest, the majority of logs esp. in the higher % are about cheesing the fight
isnt outlaw logs reliant on good rng? im not sure how that works?
That's why I'm at 90
90 and above is where the most cheese is > _>
95 and up are can get more cheese in them
Tisu always hating on us pirates 
#wow-general is that way.
Point is, sin will be the safest progression spec. Current parses are not a good indicator of that
Got it
If you really wanna pick the best spec go Havoc, no one can deny you a spot
Why you so unhappy?
this is why sin is bad in overall ๐ (zul)
The only safer specs are BM and Aff > _>
And spammy
@vestal wren got it
Didn't think zul penalized it that hard but I guess that makes sense
_>
rogue will be one of the melee specs you will see in bod
given the soak potential ๐
heh
Feint?
cos + feint
e.g. you want rogues for jaina for the snow storm thing
2 min netherwalk cd I belive
Take the DH talk to #wow-general
2
2 min
Yeah rogue and dh good for that
Rogue is, yes.
Can dash not be used with nether
Slip into the nether, increasing movement speed by 100% and becoming immune to damage, but unable to attack.
Ok so yeah both are good
So cloak allows you to attack?
Yeah
Makes things you have to break someone out of doable without removing the aura first.
Made the SUB mage tower a joke, etc.
Anyone know if fathoms will have its ilvl increased
It was good while it lasted ๐
can only use daggers with assassination?
Are the new trinkets from BdA simmable? Anyone know which ones are most gonna benefit sin rogue?
I'd imagine V.I.G.O.R. is gonna be probably top pick for rogues, Kimbul's Razor claw looks underpowered, just a chance to bleed 3.9k over 6 seconds, unless it has good proc rates.
Trinkets are on raidbot as well
#tc-updates is your friend
gotcha thanks yall
Which traits are you alll going for, progressing in BdA?
Anyone else getting the combo point bug again?
as in nothing seems to generate combo points
-_-
Dismissed bwonsamdi buff with active ghosts up?
@fierce sluice
scroll down to season 2 changes:
https://www.wowhead.com/guides/assassination-rogue-azerite-traits-powers-armor-bfa-battle-for-azeroth
thank you!
so SS is still decent for ST? bloodmallet keeps listing it at the bottom
thats bc. both sim sites use MA as talent and SS gets lower value with that
Oh I see
just keep in mind that there are better single target traits then ss, ss is good bc. it works well in st and multi target situations
BI is not mentioned in the season 2 changes, how does that fare?
!sims
BfA Simulations:
Herodamage: https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
herodamage has sims, just take a look
alright, thank you so much
whats performing better atm sub or assassination
i would say it depends on the encounter if we talk about the current state
sub is simming higher, but it's all about performance.
And situational encounters for sure
sin is peforming worse then sub on zul for example ๐
what about mythic+
depends on the affix and key
Also the sub sim is only marginally better. Top Sub sim is 18,785, top Sin sim is 17,891
outlaw and sin are the dominant choices, sub can be played in some specific key/affixes
Also azerite, if you have echoing blades for Sin, it could easily out DPS the other two
thats like close.
Though sub goes up like 2% if you swap out galecallers
In those default profiles
Because haste is awful now after 8.1
maybe true given you use 1x tfd
we can update the profile if you have good alternatives
i agree with your point, t22 profiles might not matter much now
ye, i remember
seems like the trinkets don't get shaken up too much, at least on herodamage
for M+
ya'll gonna buy a random 415 azerite piece when u can, or save up?
random for sure
ill be decked in gear before i have enough azerite for a piece. Given my loot luck
๐
when should one use vendetta on ghuun mythic?
Depends
If your raid is having trouble with some of the adds between beams you should vendetta an add to help that along
But that shouldn't really be necessary
didnt look like it
Where are you wiping?
atm due to other stuff, random fails I'd say. I'm told my CDs are just needed for p3
What %?
anyone checked which bosses should we roll for azerite?
thanks bud
jadefire masters seems like a obvious bonus roll
ddose + covenant traits
champion of the light same
Check how many casts got off from the adds @high ingot those can fuck you up
If no add issues, then it's dunks/boils and there's not much you can do about it
If you're just looking for damage vendetta on pull, 2nd beam, and either hold for P3 if you'll get 2, or third beam and in p3
Is archive still gonna be worth using for first week or two in new raid since you still get the combat stacking buff? say a 390 piece instead of using a375 with double dose or twist the knife?
Are you planning on bonus rolling the first boss of the instance on heroic week? @strange python

what's the way to go as Sin for T23 with azerite?
I can't figure out what's the power of Treacherous Covenant
and I dunno if I wanna gamble on this with potential nerf / bad uptime
Herodamage is updated unless otherwise specified in #tc-updates
List of drops in the spreadsheet #announcements
Whats currently the best trinkets for sin? Arathi WB is one of the BiS, but wondering if Fathoms is better than Forest Lord's Razorleaf
herodamage seems to completly ignore exs spec
you guys think toxic blade will outclass exs next raid?
There is largely no difference between exsang and tb
you can select TB or Exs on herodamages?
nah thats the point u could in previous raid
but now its only toxic blade
and bis list is without 1 ss trait
And the data was basicly the same for both, so it wasnt needed
so im wondering if its so much better to go double dose + treacherous
Well obviously for ST
SS is a cleave trait, so having singletarget traits will be better for ST
ye but nearly whole raid isnt only st at all so i guess ss will still be better
๐คท There's like 2bosses with lots of leave, rastakhan and jadefire
It would be too much work for them to make a sim for each boss in the raid, they use a ST sim because itโs the most reliable
With Shrouded Suffocation, opening on 3 mobs, better to waste an empowered Garrote or Combo Points?
Idk about mythic though, saw blockade had some adds but idk if they're staying up for an extended period or just something you need to burst
You use triple garrote
okay...
Use triple garrote
is there anyplace to compare future dungeon traits or just need to look them one by one ?
oh thanks not used to look at them coz it doesnt get pinged heh
Herodamage is showing SS with exsang as better than double dose? Are we hitting some stat threshold next tier where SS is really strong again?
This is in the T23 category
Seems like you'd want 2 DD and 1 SS if 1 ss is better than a 3rd dd
Idk, I'm seeing 1x SS as a 4.66% upgrade and 1x NP as a 3.96%
And what chestpiece with tc do you see having SS instead of np?
The only one that exists has np
@gusty kestrel ๐
tried outlaw in todays raid, was a truly depressing sight at taloc and mother
Should've stayed assa for those
assassination looking good ?
Yes
Zekvos and zul was good though ๐
And we did blast strat for fetid and vectis, skipping intermissions/eggs Pog
What do you folks think of treacherous covenant?
It gives a lot of agility and the drawbacks basicly never happen
๐คท
also wtf is that role tis
Are you writing the ravenholdt guide now? ๐ค
Been ages since I've seen that role
Blusimi
how come shrouded shot up on herodamage? iirc it was treacherous > double dose > NP
Shot up?
it is number 1 on the trait list
Yes if you look by ilvl
it's beating TC by any ilvl
Look per stack instead of ilvl
Well yeah its still near the top and its a good trait
it's good, it wasn't that high though
wdym
If you swap over to t22 its still high up
Its just that t22 had separate exsang and tb, so it didnt show on the same page
Was always there > _> it's even high if you're NE, but not by much.
if you go to t22 and go exsang, it's still not beating TC
I just don't understand why now it's #1 when it was #5
Well no the first trait of SS is obv better
Which is what the ilvl tab sims
Which is why you dont really look at it, because it doesnt provide all of the info
I dont really get why it is default
And SS was never #5, the reason it wasnt at the top was because we had Archives with 5x and 10x stacks above it
Which isnt really a fair comparison
Yeah not at all.
Yeah, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. I'm done โ
????
You just don't understand.

does anyone have a scent of blood weak aura to show how many stacks you currently have?
Just make one through the templates, just a buff afterall.
zero experience making a WA unfortunately
okay now i made a cool fireorb that pops up whenever i have sob, how do i make it show stacks
Just use the templates, one of the options is for showing stacks I am pretty sure.
maybe @fiery flower knows
!traits
interesting I usually go GGG CT in that spot but his opener is really cool
It's fine, CT is applied later as it's only for DMG.
He doesn't make specific note of applying Rupture to your primary/prio. target but you should do so even if you are not EX.
I probably would not Vanish/Meld to apply 1 Garrote, though that depends on what pack is coming up/etc.
I wouldn't just assume that.
!bis
and putting DMG AMP on a target depends on affixes and group DPS to a degree as well.
He can go to wherever he wants.
Do we have a bis list somewhere?
TF/WF kinda fucked BiS lists, follow your stat weights.
@vital mural I mean I have .io score over him so idk if i like that argument, but i do agree it's a cool opener
I just want to know what to look out for in the new raid
It's the standard opener IIRC.
do you stream?
Though as someone else mentions, his targeting his questionable.
The clip seems more of a meme than anything serious, though he's not wrong in most of his uses.

oh
yeah it's definitely case-by-case in M+ whether you want to even vendetta on 4tgt
looks good to me ๐
๐
Do you CT on single target to get the dot up then Env? Or only Env on single target
don't CT on 1tgt
Don't CT single target.
wait wow we have so many mdi players here
until we get some trait that fucks that up some time in the future
@fathom badger @elder marsh and @light jacinth
Yeah keep pinging them I bet they fucking love it when you do that.
@light jacinth have you got an opener guide?

There was a spreadsheet at one point someone had setup for the bis stuff in this new tier, does anyone know where thatโs gone?
i think its under !bis
Tried that bot isnโt working :/
you have to type it in #tc-research
I already mentioned that there's no list > _>
@vital mural @sand canyon whose better at rogue?
That it depends on your current stats and the encounter.
There was a spreadsheet though
@signal star wait are u that league of legends player?
no i copied his name

Yikes
doxxed
who
wtf

partnered with spotify
wow i didnt know u played wow yazuki
damn thats so cool i was a big fan of yours!!
@fiery flower
excuse me dont steal my name
ok
This
hey any flamers here
What you're gonna do, is as simple as you're gonna garrote one, garrote two, garrote three, rupture vendetta exsanguinate! yeah? then you're gonna fok fok, rupture again, you're gonna vanish, reapply garrotes, especially on the target you don't have, and that's it, then you're gonna ct (crimson tempest). Look at my damage, right now, fucking 40k, it's fucking over dude. Oooh. How the fuck though LETS GO
@civic palm who do you consider the best rogue atm? I need someone to follow
Follow whoever you want.
that doesnt help
Go find a list.
can you write one
and take this to #off-topic
M+ against 6 targets - with SS you'll get way too many combo points if you just garrote for the full subterfuge duration. Is it better to miss out on one Garrote by using Rupture after 2?
About spamming off-topic in spec channels? Maybe.
dw mizerok 1 day you'll get shadowblade
I asked a legitimate question get a troll response

you're pretty rude
Why would I want that? O _O
if all people are like you in this discord then I'm out
?? dont go
@signal star - ask the same question in off-topic and you'll get more answers
Your question depends on variables you didn't provide. Do you want the "best" rogue that raids? PVPs? M+ only? WQ?
@white galleon goodbye man this is too toxic for me
What you're gonna do, is as simple as you're gonna garrote one, garrote two, garrote three, rupture vendetta exsanguinate! yeah? then you're gonna fok fok, rupture again, you're gonna vanish, reapply garrotes, especially on the target you don't have, and that's it, then you're gonna ct (crimson tempest). Look at my damage, right now, fucking 40k, it's fucking over dude. Oooh. How the fuck though LETS GO
^ is with SS anyway hey? Can you not fit 4 Garrotes in the subterfuge window? (one, then 3 in the 3 seconds after breaking stealth)
but not enough haste for that I suppose
The fourth Garrote gets no added damage and will do as much DMG as a Rupture that you have 5CP anyway.
right - it's not subterfuge, just still off CD because the 3rd one didn't trigger the CD
okie
Rogue gcd is always 1s, regardless of haste
Therefore its never possible to get 4 subterfuge garrotes of
Vendetta has a sub 1sec GCD don't ask why.
Because of haste?
Then wouldn't your other CDs also have a reduced GCD?
No
But why is Vendetta special?
hes using a bot?
He watches gameplay
wtf
Look at his cast timeline. Fok and ct
hes still looking at his screen tho lol otherwise he wouldnt had known where the mobs were being kited to ๐
Probably atleast 1 eb
but how is it even possible??
It's called fok'around build
you dont have to be jealous bro lol
lol
maybe he has see-through eyelids??
Fok'em right in the ook
@signal star hi if you want some one to follow i suggest following 2 time MDI mvp champion @elder marsh
link to his twitch?
๐
who?
idk if that impersonate comment was at me but ya ive been insom for fkn ages its like a super common name
so its pretty obvious that ppl would have the same name
๐ฏ
@fiery flower > _>
Ashines guide is for sub. Best thing to do is look at cast sequences on top logs and see what theyre doing
I think do, icy veins assa guide is written by grayhound
Its good too
I would repost your logs here tomorrow at an earlier time and someone will look over them and help you
Should they be NA or EU?
Can I trust anyone in specific or look for someone specific?
I can if nothing else although there are better players here than me
was probs @vital mural
or ashine, since he's naming someone.
haha! smelt it you dealt it!
uhhuh
wow thats not very nice @white galleon
guys, i'm trying assassination these days, did they fix that bug that only let you put 3 empowered garrotes? i assume they did, but just safer to ask :p
Yep
cool thx
and another question, what spec do you think will be better for the new raid between assassination and subtetly (i dont really like outlaw) ?
Assa is safer for progression raiding as bleeds still ticking if you need to deal with mechanics
Agreed that Assassination is generally a very safe bet for the raid tier
Sub might be nice on some fights but generally when learning mechanics, positioning and fight times etc assa will perform better
I think anyway
...and then @carmine solstice teaches us better
i've always played sub, but i'm liking assa a lot. i think is more fun. nice guides btw dratnos,i was the guy asking you about mutiltaes/envenom being parried by the training dummy xD
Madve always does
Heยดs a god
I have a damn lot of respect for players who do not care about the meta and perform better on the spec that they love than 99% of the meta players
I mean look at this... he does this every fucking time
i mean the logs are comapred to the spec he played
His guild kill times are very fast as well which helps, hes definitely one of the best
If not the best
and logs dont really matter that much anyways
its still impressive. atleast for me
Why is the Zul fight the outlaw spec lol
Yep
Cos guilds dont keep crawgs up anymore for the sub cheese strat
Alot play assa or outlaw there now
its 8.1
Ah ye
for 8.0 hje probably still palyed sub
Ye
I stopped playing after CE but hoping something in 8.15 or 8.2 pulls me back in
I have 15% haste - 25% Crit as assination, think it's worth staying sub until i get abit more haste? ๐
Just sim you gear for sub and for assa
Play DH
Do we have a list of BiS Azerite for BoD?
Think the Wowhead guide has suggestions?
Hey fellow rogues! Was wondering, is there any detailed guide on assa these days? By ashine, musclebruh or any other really good rogue? Ive been parsing blue-purple and im annoyed because i cant seem to figure out what have i been doing wrong. Trying to get that orange
Dratnos has a nice serie of videos on youtube starting here --> https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrr_ukI9KzrgxFppyk-RXE6Zg9mqAnH7P
Cheers!
Also ravenholds guide and wowhead
Wowhead guide is slightly more up to date ATM, I believe.
Any mods that online that I can speak with?
About?
I need mods to help me.
With what
You ain't no mod, pal.
Crushed.
Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.
@onyx rock
thanks for those kind words! : ))
@mossy adder and for you too ofc : )
Does archive still work in BoD?
The large stat bonus will not.
Ahh, so pretty much worthless for us now?
The stat bonus are only achieve whilst in Uldir, so no ๐
comparatively yes
I mean it's not AWFUL
Yeah thanks, I just made up a bis list and couldnโt see an archive trait so I assumed not. Thanks for the quick reply
It wont have 2 traits tho, so will be useless
Yeah, a second trait would beat it almost no matter how good it would end up being
that's probably the more important part
You can go pretty far down that list and 2 traits will usually come out ahead
2 traits can be worth ~9% DPS, Archive @ 10 is worth ~13%
Has anyone made their own bis list? I would love to compare mine to yours
I mean, I droptimiser'd myself, if that counts? ๐
No such thing, so no.
bis list in 2k19 
Especially if crit/haste/mastery are close.
Getting a nice TF on one piece could swing your "BiS" too far off kilter.
For as long as wf/tf is a thing and stats being as they are, BiS lists just arent a thing, and havent been for years.
wf/tf/socket just takes the bis list and throws it in the garbage bin
where it belongs 
I know it all changes based on gear and the fight but having a bis list especially for a guild purpose and having something to eye off is what Iโm looking for
lol
Yeah, especially with sockets being as ridiculous as they are
Best bet is knowing what stats. are best for you.
Well sockets are losing some power with the general item level increase and the lack of new gem.
fun fact, 385 ring with socket beats 2/3 of the 415 rings in BoD for me
Also aren't the rings from Battle NOT great?
Exactly, you can have a list by all means, but it'll be blown out the water with 1 decent TF.
395wrists with socket beats 415 wrist
^same
I mean the list is more for guild purposes to see who needs what azerite more than anything
personal loot
And from what I see all most of the azerite is quite good for us in different situations
they cant trade it anyway
So you would need a BiS list for Raids where Crit and Haste lead unless there is a breakpoint that changes the list.
and a list for M+ where you need ~10% haste and mongo crit/mastery.
I mean, they can when its not your 1st piece
We got very lucky with AA this time around IMO.
yeah but unlikely in the first ID to trad around azerite pieces
Yeah it was hard for me to choose my โbisโ on that list since it all dramatically changes with different combos
There's a lot of it, but yeah 1st ID should be pretty greedy.
ID?
RaidID / Lockout
if you're lucky you might be trading normal gear assuming you do it after heroic
i heard the guides there a pretty decent 
tbh wowhead sin guide is probably the best sin guide atm
To be fair since 3 of each slot drops, if someone gets lucky you could get an easy handout.
IF
Iโm smart enough to work out my own list I just wanted to see if anyone had made their own as well
Theres no reason to make them so unlikely 
i know my luck, i aint be trading till clearing mythic
atm there's nothing awful in regards to AA, so I have not bothered looking for anything to stay away from.
Itโs the guild that requires one piece for one slot, which obviously doesnโt work for us
FYI, Mystler's guide on wowhead actually does have a "BiS" list
for uldir/bod/dungeons
Would you be able to link please? I just left home
not a fan of droptimiser @civic palm ?
Yeah I appreciate it none the less
back in the day when amr tried to sim WF/TF
If a rogue assumes they can just follow a list and drop other pieces they shouldnโt be playing the spec
Iโm just more looking for options, and a reason to show when it comes to it that I need that piece
ยดIf a rogue assumes they can just follow a list and drop other pieces they shouldnโt be playing the specยด every class
and unless you have broken traits there's no list to follow unless the list has multiple sets to account for encounter types.
true
mizerok has a quick overview for every azerite piece
*every piece in the new raid
Yes but unless I can put SOMETHING on paper now itโll just look like Iโm hear whoring
Gear*
The fact your guild is asking you to is whats wrong lol
from raid yeah, there's another link in #welcome #announcements with the dungeon stuff.
yeah what guild are you in
I wouldnโt expect them to know the intricacies of my own class though
Hey now no reason to lambast the guild ๐
wellThereAreReasonsButDoingSoDoesNothingWorthwhile
Nor am I going to explain that while they are making strats for each boss
Anyway thanks for the link itโs all I really wanted
you welcome
.9% 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
zzz
atm the Droptimizer shows that you should roll for weapons.
Shocker.
basically you can build 3EB 3SS for m+ right
have to get 2 pieces from vendor if you want 3EB/3SS
EB is veeeeeeeeery stronk.
only 1 EB/SS piece in raid
but dungeon loot: there is for every slot a SS/EB combo
2 of them with heed and 1 gutripper
or just get unlucky and have 1ss | 2eb | 3sob / 3uf
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
One of those UFs might be Gutripper.
that's a pretty hard to complain about setup too
chest from makatorque or conclave 
The new droptimizer on raidbots is pretty sick to see your path of "best" upgrades.
is SS nerfed in the new season?
the "nerf" you remember was just a tooltip update
Cause on Herodamage SS is extreemly low with TB specc
herodamage or Bloodmallet shows ss low bc. they use MA as default
no more RA is kinda a "nerf" to exsang on ST, the extra haste helped a lot
my TB is simming higher without it now
the new azerite tier makes up for the loss of ra
oh he asked if ss was nerfed not exsang my bad
I meant exsang is weaker compared to TB now
Reaping fiesta

Anyone made any sims for versatility or stats in general with the upcomming changes?
Changes?

We're getting changed?
?
Nevermind its old news sorry
"Shrouded Suffocation: Garrote cast from Stealth generates 2 additional Combo Points and deals additional damage. Only go for these if you are still playing Exsanguinate" thats from raven guide. So if using TB then SS is not recomended anumore?
I mean
Just ignore it
Even with tb i thibk 3xDD, 2xSS, NP is the best class trait combo
Mix in a few tc for fun
you wont run more then 1x NP
How many combo points should I be spending at. I know combat is 4+, what about assass?
4-5 as a rule works pretty well
you do 3 in the opener with SS
for your first rupture
Yea, thank you. I read through the guide but just wanted clarification on the general guidance for combo point spending
tyvm
You can also finish at 3 in aoe when fok-rupturing
isn't 1xSS 4xDD 1xNP the best combo? or is this combination not possible within the game
for raidbosses that is
i dont know, aren't there pieces with the same trait in different rings?
ahhhhh
Well I just made myself look stupid here ๐
I was told by tisumi that someone here thought they could get 2 of the same trait on the same piece of gear
Do we already know the go to traits once the raid is released ?
Anything that drops
Good plan hehe
lads
is there any rogue specific guide out yet for the new raid
like best trait setup for certain bosses
There's Mizes spreadsheet for azerite in #rules-and-guides and #announcements as well as the BoD quick reference guide to each boss in the rules and guides part
@strange python But yes there is something in the pipeline more specific for what you need ๐
Soon โข indeed
is there an addon that tracks envenom?

Database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
Oh it's one of the ones in that command too!
Dratnos, in your guide you say that playing toxic blade amounts to just pressing it when it comes off cool down, does this mean that I shouldnโt worry so much about refreshing rupture inside the tb window (at the cost of an envenom)?
ok ty
See pins in #wow-general
@latent field I think u should apply rupture before tb so u can put as much envenoms
@latent field Yes you TB on cooldown
Its a bigger loss to delay tb or to refresh rupture before pandemic than it is to refresh it during tb
And its an enormous loss to let rupture fall of
Yes I agree with eleem!
Ideally you'd refresh it in pandemic before, but sometimes it just doesnt line up perfectly
Multiple situations/multiple losses :)
What do you guys think about new trinkets from the new raid?
Thanks Eleem - yeah I find that sometimes even though Iโve tried to line it up well itโs falling off within the window or just at the end ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
In my experience toxic blade is way easier to overthink than underthink
The new trinkets from the raid look underwhelming, especially on herodamage
Unless you're playing outlaw
I play assa only,but cant get any good trinkets
So its looks like its back to the arena and freehold/siege for us
To aquire our trinkets
I would sell my kidney for freehold trinket,however I got mydas touch or whatever its called from atal dazar 2 weeks in a row...
From the chest remind you
Kimbul's might be strong for a week or two, before gear scales over its static damage?
The bleed trinket does the same damage regardless of your stats
Look at it on t22 Sims vs t23, it's much stronger relative to total DPS with less gear.
Whereas stats scale with eachother and multiple, so the better gear you get, the better your stats become
ooh
So with full 385 gear a 415 trinket that does damage it does more damage (% wise) than it would be if somebody had full 415
But yeah freehold/siege is gonna be the way to go it looks.
And KR/pvp
Haven't done the fights to see if galecallers is still usable/good.
I don't know how it scales on aoe, but possibly yes
Iโm not at home to test this now but does anyone know if they fixed the bug where applying a 4th garrotte out of stealth removed the dmg buff from the last 3
Oh damn thanks
So ive been away for some time. Is m+ rotation still garrote on as many targets as possible, rupture on main target, fok spam with new echoes trait and Crimson tempest?
it's never been like that
O.o was when i was watching the world first high m+'s, but without the new trait ofc..and this was along time ago, hence asking ๐
so what do u guys roll with now?
you always rupture multiple targets for energy
I do like that in m+
crimson doesnt give energy
crimson is overrated neverless
but reaping though

hmm ok, but echoes still better than scent in that case..?
does EB proc also apply poisons?
not sure if CT will be THAT good for reaping cus they dont really have that much hp
somone knows if the reaping adds set you in combat when they spawn and run too you? or only when they get close
Reaping is just a bullshit way of making blood dks a must have again
So they are by default bigger during fortified weeks since the mobs are and technically bolstering as well
