just go triple dd bro and this can happen https://i.imgur.com/Jnlf5lt.png
Just get better traits 
i have 3x ss already so will see what i drop next but 1 np is ok i guess
but DD is strong
i guess MA is better with 2+ DD
even with 2x DD and 1 SS sims still tell me to go Subt ;_;
Wtf 
Yip ;_;
How does that sim compare to if you were to drop that SS for another trait
MA would go ahead?
other chest i have to replace that ss trait is eb/ss + sob/somethingiforgot
Do you know any sites beside wowanalyzer, for analyzing logs?
so wouldn't help me at this moment ;p
@void gazelle people would answer specific questions about a log if you posted it
But if it’s just general advice like wow analyser then you’ll just get sent to the guides
Lol, i've been saving my luck for mythic week
And bruteforcing luck since ill just buy a 415 piece wednesday
Good luck on bonus rolling first boss on Wednesday boiz 
Should have my engi helm done this weekend, and got the hc ss/echo chest
Other than that, a lot of wasted rolls
At least we can get azerite from WQs in the meantime

i play ma only @gusty kestrel
i like it for all situations
its the best
even with ss for my character subter and ma simmed the same
Weird, for so long its been around 25 dps for me even last tier
i think i try out 2xdd 1xss with sub
dang the more i mess around with MA the more i want to play it
the opener burst is hilarious
i cant go and change traits every now and then from 3xss to 3xdd...
depending whatever its st raid or aoe m+..
should have mained mm hunter 😄
I hate that hiisi as well
I play outlaw in dungeons and its a pain
Especially since i know im not min maxed if i dont swap its terrible
And then theres pvp.. god
Just play 3xSS then, st dps loss should be minor but aos gain huge
Its why i usually do like 0 key content until my raid week is over
So then i never have to play sin
my raid nights are mon/tues/thurs so i think until i get better azerite i'll change all my ST stuff to EB for the weekends for the forseeable future
monkaS
they should just remove reforge costs
and then it'll be so much less annoying
yeah
ill try now 2zss 1xdd with sub gonna be my raid AND m+ setup
after all theres much of multidotting in this raid anyway,..
Not really
Not much honestly
Jadefire and p1 rastakhan
Not much convenient multidotting
Like I’m driving my guild crazy cuz they’ll call swap on grong and I’m like it’s actually pointless lol
I guess first boss too, but since you can just outdps it first week on hc i dont expect it to take long for you to zerg it on mythic either
You need to interrupt it though, on grong
Like my rupture gonna tick for 5 seconds
Yeh I step to it and then garrote rupture kick it and leave
how about first boss when add phase?
All the dhs and warriors are just wailing on it
but yeah in gonk my guild also screams me to go and nuke robot from far back 😄
Like think about sin strengths
im like stfu , guys! 😄
You’re not finna hold vanish for that so ss is so whatever
We are like a top top tier st spec
With all st traits
Idk i just dont see any value in ss this raid personally
yeah might go master ass then, jesus
When does siren spawn on the brother Joseph boat
I mean subter still strong on st too
Maybe won’t be horrible for stonewall
I just rather continue to mut
u guys go at siren too,right?
Bro its insane how much harder normal blockade is compared to heroic
Cuz of the random yeh
I have a feeling that the fights gonna be really really scary on mythic
And probably buggy xd
And yeah ignore RL calls to swap on grong dude, you’re doing it right
Rogue privileges
Naw i always swap pop a rup on it some dp
Insta go back
Get that younf energy for more muts
yeah.. i did not and i was effing sprinting all over the place and shadowstepping and then parced at 67... 😦
but now i stick to the ape no matter what
yeah.. its just, yeah..true ^^
Yeah ofc but it should be able to be covered. Can’t speak for every group ofc
The later ones it might be needed
I'd imagine mastery is top stat with 3DD @nimble tartan ?
Or atleast a lot higher than otherwise
Does haste drop a lot when you change from SS, subt and exsang?
Wish I could play and sim
But you guys passing my day at work
It is my top stat eleem
Last time i simmed it was like worth 2.61 for mastery and haste was 2.56 so its p close
I still gem and enchant for haste
The difference between swapping to and from is p small anyways
Cool ty
i take it crit's worth a lot less with MA
Not really, its only 3 seconds every 120 seconds
Crit is still good yeah. All my atats are basically so close to each other (minus vers) that apart from rings its mostly just slap on highest ilvl gear u have with sockets
I think i have like 7 sockets on
7 😮
The 415 dice isn’t 😡
Its not mine i swear
I am new to a rogue, just saw the wowhead guide but i have a doubt using toxic blade or exsanguinate? with shrouded suffo its better exsa?
It’s fight and trait dependant, ex is more burst so that can be useful on some fights
Otherwise just sim
And sim different combinations of azerite
415 dice wtf
should i pick up a 3rd SS or take echoing blades for dungeons
btw on gongk when he tantrums i presume feint works on it or cloack?
yeah
@tough egret echo is very very good, I’d go as many echo as possible with at least 1 ss
Depends on key level and how many mobs are pulled tho. And if reaping is in play
Echo will be more value the more mobs you have
How much do you guys sim?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/v8txD3ecsuRMsNNtHpaK6T
i sim 17k but i feel its kinda low?
Probably fine for ilvl, do you have azerite with double outer ring traits?
How do you guys feel about shrouded suff? I feel like its way better than what it sims.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nSvuu7wNzuHeq2ZYZi8C49 Do you guys think its worth to take shrouded suff as trait anyway, even though it sims 1.7% less?
SS is a cleave trait, so if you're going for pure ST then no
But most bosses do have some sort of adds/cleave, so do you think its generally worth using shrouded suff?
Cleave or burst*
Most? In uldir yes, in battle no, not really
Rastakhan if you're staying up (which you shouldnt) and jadefire is basicly the only ones where cleave dps would matter
Because you're not gonna vanish for a grong robot unless you get really lucky with it spawning close to the boss and champions is basicly just zerg the boss
is there a list anywhere for sin trinkets like which ones are the best etc etc.?
you can cleave against blockade, gong and conclave pretty good i feel like
Because they are too far away from the boss and dont line up well
so you can wait till a add spawns near you
conclave, you can use it when all those raptors spawn
feel like thats gonna be a huge dps increase
I'm probably just very biased towards shrouded suff tho, since I really like the trait
Hey Guys i'm haveing some trubles... i've runned most of 8.0 with SS now with higher gear, had my hands on DD traits. It feels good the only problem is that i feel i'm doing much less in AoE scenarios. So after running some sims i've checked that MA sims the same as Subterfuge, but as "the internet" says MA gives more burst. How do you guys manage AoE /Cleave situations with MA. I'm going to Garrote - FoK - Rupture - switch target - FoK (1 or 2 depends on crits) - Rupture - Garrote -switch target and repeat to have the 2 bleeds on 3 targets... i'm missing something? Or is that?
Either way swapping cost too much for me to min/max so i propably just keep 2xdd 1xss. It makes life more easy in m+ and world quests 😂
You dont go MA if you're going to go into aoe scenarios mekkla
In a strict aoe scenario ss is much better
But regardless, the gameplay is basicly the same except you dont garrote 3 targets, you just rupture them
@dapper moat they made switching azerite cheaper
well, kinda, the cost decreases now every day instead of every 3rd i think
@spice surge i'm not running SS anymore due to HUGE il between my azerite gear... ATM i'm running 2 DD with 1 Scent of Blood. I've readed taht MA gives more burst due to more krit more burst with FoK but SUB gives more sustained due to more EP windows . Then in m+ i'll run SUB and just limit my self on rupture the targets
MA does not give good aoe burst unless you're running fok traits
Its fairly useless without it (on aoe)
And even then, its not really a thing anyway since the garrotes from subterfuge just does so much damage
Agree, Eleem.
20k garrote ticks, feelsgoodman
Thats a lot of ticks
so running with subterfuge is Garrote switch garrote switch garrote, then rupture then TB then FOK and rupture to 3 3 targets? and putting some envenoms in the middle?
so it is worth anyway with subterfuge garrote 3x even without SS
Here you go 
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
uff that musclebrah video is hurting
There's also the joshXmusclebrah remix
Need
Will i'm not running bleed build... i used till yesterday dropped azerite stuff with DD for poisons... the problem is that when i used to do AoE with Bleeds i was doing insane from 30k to 40k too, now that is not the case with the build i'm running... i guess i've just have to drop one SS again
Idk if its allowed to post it here though, its just a mp3
if its not offensive i dont see any harm
who muscle or josh?
josh

Why would you fok fok rupture after 3 garrote? And then only CT the first time after like 8 globals?
oh to enyone watching this video, the gameplay footage/suggestion is just straight out wrong, use it at your own risk
But he has 30 armor sets do u have Kappa
i mean its a good video if you want to have a lough
havent played my rogue a lot in bfa so far just switched back and even i see its wrong
Yea was just memeing, in reality you wanna get ruptures and ct rolling earlier
Idk which exact order on 3 targets
exsang is also quite wasted in the video 😉
3 is quite irrelevant as most groups are bigger
Yeah that is what I meant. Like there isn't a fixed opener anyway, except 3 garrote.. Depends on talents, enemies (is there a big one to exsang), target count, Azerite traits. (vanish isn't worth with 1 ss and 3 eb, but 3ss 0 eb could be worth, etc)
then again, i like his enthousiasm.
doing sth rly wrong and then be like "40k, its fucking over dude, LETS GO"
my eyes.
pepega
Wow. Best rotation. Been doing it wrong all along
That's why they removed shuriken toss trait. So broken
tbh the toss trait wasnt to bad, it was just hard to get and noone rly wanted to play it
He probably also had warmode talents
Fatboss said in his video, that cloaking magma trap on Jadefire masters won't knock you up, but i did them 2 days ago and i was sure that i got knocked, can someone tell how it is for real?
No, cloak prevents this effect. 100% sure
you need to use cos before stepping on them
Ty guys for clearing this out
Does cloak remove chilling touch stacks on Jaina?
No
No
Fun. Ok thanks.
Only mages can?
It might prevent you from gaining more? But it doesn’t reset
Probably depends on source
Similar to the fetid debuff maybe
I definitely stayed out of an ice block longer than everyone else when we wiped to the wall transition
My guild is starting back up at mekkatorque in a few hours. Figured I would ask before dieing to something dumb.
that musclebrah video induces physical pain
Don't trample small one, don't get trampled, run behind boulders with bomb, learn to handle robots
anyone here thats good at WA?
Have you checked wago. What you need is probably already on there, and pretty.
Not even the slightest, sorry.
damn 😦
over 20k finally https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/anmSFAt9rxCu4UnVad4xqQ
Pog
Traits?
It ain’t a bad mix for this early
yeah
gonna have enough next week after m+ cache to buy mythic chest
hopefully something sick
bis with those 2 talents
but without it s 3rd from the bottom?
wth?
could someone pls explain
3rd from the bottom is SS without subterfuge at all which really sucks yeah
subterfuge is hugely multiplicative with SS
Hey everyone. Why would a rogue open like this on champions of light. He parsed a 100. Just curious.
well 3x garrote for padding
Ah gotcha

azerite traits stayed like they are, you can use !azerite to get a link to a summery about them
stat wights are like always, you need to sim them
garroting the adds on champions is def pad but it does still boost your ST no? just gotta poison them too
Not really
you gain slight higher energy regeneration so i would say yes
or rather, not very noticeably, especially if you have to poison them after the garrote
however you usually dont want to kill the adds, so this is pad
and have to run inbetween them
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
3x garrote fok hope it does it but yeah padderino
If you have to fok its probably not worth it
im still using Prolonged power. So I just add 5% to my rank. that means I get 98
how do people get 50k+ dps on opulence?
With my current haste (~17%), my garrote ticks roughly every 1.3s during hero. For one garrote to make up the 45 energy it costs, it would need to tick 6.5 times, which takes about 8.45s
So if you get lucky and apply your poison with garrote (or the melee) you get 21 total extra energy for that one global spent
can u take multiple gems?
youll see the 300k dps peak
the dps garrote does will be added to your dps tho
If you can attack it more (IE its right next to your prio target) and you can keep up poison for the entire garrote then you get more
Well yes obv, but he said it was a boss dps gain
@strange python 1 opal stacks 2 % per mob hit. so you fok the trash. it caps at 20x. or 40%
so you vendetta vanish gg
ye
that particular log is neat. the 40% lasts long enough that exang is not necessary. so he has 2ss subterfuge and also TB
I think the opal was grey/whitish
it was white
its not pad. its boss dmg
Who's log are you guys looking at ?
just look for rank 1 heroic
its the 50k dps rogue
mythic will be neat prob. raid will sit capped at 40% bonus dmg for 2-3 min prob
Wtf the opal is blue for me guys
I think on mythic prog I’ll probably play subtlety for that fight
And pretend I still have shuriken combo cuz of opal
So opal is the best gem for logs on the opulence?
i assume opulance logs will be put off allstar
It’s like press FoK on the adds to have +dmg
Rupture, refresh with 7.2 seconds remaining at 5 combo points
i got a WA that lights up at 9 sec remaining
is it bad to do it before 7.2 sec remaining
Not so much, if you play with exsanguinate you will often have situations when you refresh earlier than 7.2
it's bad to do before 7.2 seconds except when you're planning to exsanguinate though yeah
you can probably edit the WA to show it at 7.2
Its fairly bad to refresh before pandemic yes, because you are essnentially wasting damage that you've already spent combo points and energy one
The exception being exsang
it's not the end of the world or anything but you'll do more damage if you don't!
of all the things you can fuck up, that 1s of rupture isnt gonna be the end
yeah if that's the worst thing you're doing your dps will be great
but the answer to is it bad is yes
Opal was blue for me 🤔
what if I refresh rupture after 7.2 sec
No damage loss if you have 5 combo points then
double dose + covenant trait head dropped 
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
i do not understand why with EB in aoe sims i sim less then scent of blood... Any clue? as for AoE it should be the best!
Depends on what aoe you're talking about
If its 4-5ish targets then scent is amazing, but you dont really get anything more from getting more targets after that
But EB gets better and better the more targets you add
you right i use to sim on 4 targets
And also the more crit you have
Since whenever you get enough targets that you can reliably crit 5 times with every fok cast then EB is godlike
I'd stay away from DD in M+ - especially if you combine it with EB, as the two traits are fundamentally at odds with one another
Like DD by itself has value on 2-4 targets because you'd mutilate then, and EB by itself has value on 2-4 targets because you'd fan of knives then - but if you're playing both, they can't both get value
i think you are wrong, as on 1-2 targets u go with Muti but on 3+ is ever worthed more not useing Muti but go on to FoK due to CP building. I've got to try that out in m+ it sims good in ST and really good on 5targets aoe scenarios (just doing those sims). To me it seems a god compromise to not fall behind on ST. I'll try that out in some m+ tonight.
You need a lot of crit for FOK to actually surpass the expected amount of CP that you'd get from mutilate
On something like 3 targets
Hey guys! When i dont have up any cooldowns like Vendetta/Exs/TB, what has more priority? Spreading out my envenom buff as efficient as possible or have another Finisher in my EP buff?
W/o cds I'd suggest making sure your rupt is maintained. Dont really want to rupture while vendetta is up unless absolutely necessary
You shouldnt really focus on either the EP or envenom buff uptime
Make sure rupture and garrote are up, and envenom anytime they have more than like 3s?
What you're looking for (especially when running multiple double dose traits) is to get as many of your mutilates inside envenom (and preferably EP too) as possible
Which can often coincide with the things you mentioned, but not always
@rose perch hey
@queen pawn these are average expected values of fok vs muti, per energy and per global, so if you've got enough energy from many dots up then you can consider the per global column
bolded is the 'realistic' crit % you get generally
so you dont need a lot of crit for FoK to be better if energy is an issue, but if energy isnt an issue then Mutilate averages more CP at realistic crit values until like 5 targets
thanks a lot
And what dratnos was saying was that, on top of this stuff above, taking DD traits pulls you towards wanting to press mutilate more (at low target amounts where its sometimes quite equal)
Whilst EB does the opposite
It pulls you to pressing FoK more at low targets (even though the CP value might be worse, the extra dmg value in that case makes up for it)
[5:38 PM] Dratnos: I'd stay away from DD in M+ this though
so u just want some EB, and then you can safely FoK as of 3 targets without feeling bad about it ever pretty much
is the opal gem called opal?
opal of something something
Vendetta on cool down
Vanish paired up with vendetta
how can I do that if they dont line up
in a raidfight
you wait the ~20sec with vendetta
@strange python Opal of Unleashed Rage
should I wait for SotS trinket when I play with Exsg?
or I can use exsg on cooldown
Haven’t played with exsg. before 
The answer is in the pins 😃 Under FAQ and galecaller's boon
Sorry, multiple traits of Nothing Personal only buffs the dmg of the dot and nothing else ?
Yes, its the same with every trait.
Damage/healing/stats always stack and everything else doesnt
doesnt change the fact that i dont drop shit ;P
Oh so do I every raid. Thank you, the answer was too obvious.
What do you think about crit trinket from dazaralor? Has anyone tested it?
should i run 3xeb in m+ or is it worth swapping 1xeb for np+ec?
does cloak work on Jadefire mini game I presume?
Or just do it, its so fun
well i didn't try that first time i just went the normal route
i always miss the first one for some reason
Cloak makes you able to go through ring of peace on jadefire yea
you should use cloak too disable the mines
just step behind a mage/dh
but yeha, in theory you can go trough ring with cloak
he meant the minigame wqhere you face the clones
and dont think cloak works cause its phys?
you can use hs if you are low

In M+, my current items let me go 2x EB 1x SS OR 1x EB 2x SS, what would you prefer?
So is dmd fathoms still pretty decent?
yes, but once you got a decent raid/m+ trinket its not
so i would not recommend buying one
Havent played in a bit and I still have mine. Wasn't sure if it got nerfed or anything cause I dont recall seeing it on bloodmallet anymore
its quite low on herodamage too, given it cant compete with higher itemlvls
need a quick answer from someone pls
what's better in tol dagor
echoing blades or SS
Does Nothing Personal stack? my sims telling me to take a 2nd NP over SoB
I dont see why not Echoing Blades, but, I feel like SS would be good for the single target fights.
hey dudes, trying to figure out what to do with these raid and dungeon mats. are the traits on the engineering goggles pre determined?
Now, I have a question. Im getting about 11k at item lvl 379 what am I doing wrong single target?
Or is it possibly I have Twist the Knife x2
thank you world quests
Currently switcing to assa from sub, what do i pool energy for? after doing my opener, which windows am i looking to empty my energy into? i currently don't have any shrouded trait, but i got 2x nothing personal, 2x double dose and 1x twist the knife
for some reason i only generate 1 CP with ss right now?
SS?
shrouded suffocation
Not in stealth > _>
Garrote outside buffduration.-
Then start in stealth.
didnt happend the entire expac, but for some reason right now i only get 1CP the last 6 pulls
inb4WrongGearEquipped
^
^
nope, 2xSS and subterfuge
Then you arent pressing garrote from stealth
Some macro casting a trinket you got there?
even if i would mess that up, suberfuge gives you a 3sec window
maybe your SS gear broke
Unless you are exiting stealth without attacking.
You must be doing something wrong
try repairing
im the guy using shroud, and gear is fine
Using a trinket from stealth breaks stealth without subterfuge
/rl, UI is messing with you
But unless you have logs we can just keep guessing 🤷
^
i have vigor and kimbuls claw, not a active trinket you use prepull
like i said, yesterday everything was fine
I mean theres not much to mess up so im just more confused than anything
just notice the last few pulls that i only get 1cp
SS nerfed, heard it here first!
try sitting in stealth for like 1 more sec after everyone opened
im still getting my combo points from SS
pretty sure something like that happened to me aswell before
Correct gear 
Repaired gear 
Reloaded UI 
Relogged 
Not a trinket 
Im all out of ideas
If its not any of the above
^ has a point
Yeah I have 2 SS's and am only getting 3 CP.
The CP generation doesnt stack from more than one trait
Thats normal lol
Damage/healing/stats always stack, everything else never does. For every trait in the game
Damage stacks
From Outlaw.
CP generation doesnt
^
1 SS or 3, CP generation is exactly the same
uhhuh
so theres something with your opener, are you sure nothing is macroed to your garrote
nope, nothing
then im not help idk
I dont get why vanish garrote would work but normal opener wouldnt unless youre doing something different
Unless he's magically not in stealth for his opener.
Record your opener showing ss not applying with vanish garrote straight after to apply
Something is fishy
Can you still G G G in the opener?
Try relogging and restarting wow
Thoughts on no SS traits and running MA instead of Sub for BoD?
If it sims higher, do it
what is MA
master assasin talent
Yeah I have 2 DD, 1 Np, 1 TTK, and Rezan bleed trait..shows itv sims higher on ST
what is EP
70k envenoms 
damn 70k
And 1 TC trait
Or get 3x DD and crit like 25k with it 👌
I think if I swabbed out some gems, enchants ...I could hit 70k+ envenom np
Dropped haste and picked up mastery
allright
i did HS out of the raid and changed my traits and swaped back again
now it works
im confused as hell
weird
i just reset all traits and took them again
Very odd
I had a similar bug during our raid, my nothing personal traits stopped working as well
On rastakhan
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/B6D8JZ9fPmwAgyMV#fight=30&type=damage-done&source=10
3 casts of vendetta, 0 damage from nothing personal
Even though i had 2 traits equiped
Big unlucky
azerite bug has been around since 8.1
you have to go find out which piece isnt working and go reforge it iirc
very common it happened to my hunter on all 3 of his pieces on tuesday
its good to have a piece with a passive on it that u can check before raid bc it just happens sometimes
ty for the info didnt know that was a thing
im not sure if its just 1 trait sometimes or if its the whole piece it would be helpful if someone knew
i know that on our last reclear of uldir i didnt get a single overwhelming power proc all night
but the main azerite trait was working
for m+ if you guys had to double up on SS or Echoing blades which would you choose?
im using fan of knives and +crisom tempest still low dmg on several mobs,any tips?
our aoe is slow
you dont gonna out dps a DH that is doing meta>eye beam>skillbarrage in burst aoe fights
hold garrote/rupture on ~3-4 priority targets in sustained aoe fights, then spamm CT, if there are under 4-5 enemys just hold the CT dot up and spam envenom
feels bad when a DH or frost mage is outdpsing simply cause the mobs die before garrotte can even get close to expiring lol
keys you're doing are too low level then
currently have 2 SS and 2 EB for my dungeon set
I got 2SS, 1DD/+barrage(engineering helm trait), 1 SOB... still haven't gotten a new shoulder piece
lucky guy shay
hey guys im having some trouble with my AZ traits is stacking 3 SS still the bis im not sure if im using the wrong sim profile but when i run raidbots its telling me to drop to 1 SS and use other gear
Herodamage.com have azerite rankings
So when do i play what spec in higher m+? is there one thats better than the other on something or are all specs about the same?
Depends on what dungeon and how you pull, you can make all 3 work
The one that gets the best results for the least amount of effort is definitely outlaw
So in the case of reaping for example and say 10+ which spec handles reaping mobs the best meaning higer aoe dmg
Depends on what dungeon and how you pull, you can make all 3 work
Aight
hi, asking again, with EB we FoK over Mut with 2+ targets?
yeah
howdoes the dps on assassination rogue looking
How do you aoe at sin, legit never played it in pve content
AP - gives slightly more
Has anyone tested mekka trinket using on CD vs holding it 30 secs for venndetta?
so is CT baseline for m+ now?
CT?
Crimson tempest
@royal lantern had that issue sometimes where ss gives 1 cp, not sure what causes or fixes it
Why would the sim recommend vendetta for an aoe (4 boss, 20 sec) fight? Especially 2 of them? Energy regen aspect? Does that stack?
Sorry, i meant "nothing personal" for vendetta.
Compared to what?
With all traits damage/healing/stats always stack, never anything else.
20 secs isn't enough to benefit from scent
ahh, ok. Thanks!
why everyone tells me in pug to take ruby of focused animus
or whatever its called
One person in the group should take Ruby
Anymore than that is pointless
So max 2, one for each side
And it should be a spec that hits all adds in last phase with aoe easily
Any keen Assassination players rolling around the Discord today?
If you are not the Ruby person take opal
Is shrouded still good?
Yes
there any bad trinkets in new raid?
Is it going to be better then Incite of the pack?
Sim to be sure, fairly certain that's a yes
Tfw I still have a fathoms
Same here lol
can fathoms be upgraded yet?
No
Okay, I just wanted to make sure. Sims showed shrouded is better
Not surprising incite isn't very good for us
Yeah 400fathoms would be insane
It would break everything
I'd instantly swap to inscription to sell them
Anchors that would tear a hole into the fabric of space
who said they were getting 70k envoms, i call bullshit
I get 50k envenoms
Think they said they had multiple ttk traits
my buddy got i think a 90k envem
I get 65s sometimes
With vendetta and tb seems possible
I think ive just seen 40 k 😦
Lion’s Guile makes it pretty easy too
outside damage increase windows, id like to see the log
Did he say outside of increase?
not sure, only glossed over it
Then assume it was
whats the point in mentioning it then if thats the case
???
That's like when someone says they can do 200k as sin
Surely they aren't talking about over an entire fight or dungeon. It's a snapshot of a time when they were doing that
@strange python it was me
hey for multi target, you guys no longer take crimson tempest? according to the guide anyway
Where does it say that
well it reads that way
Could be
idk, was just curious as i'm trying out asn for raids
probably not going to use it anyway during the raid
You take pb in every raid boss
with 3x ttk and every cd + pots ive gotten over 80k envenoms too
highest was 100k+ but it was with 25% opulence buff
pretty sure if i went with ns i could hit about 100k with vanish-envenom without opulence buffs
hmm
3x ttk and mp?
3x ttk and sub
here u go
with subterfuge
nightstalker would buff it even higher
hmm
i really like ttk traits
but there are not the best ofc
i got a 125k envenom on opulence
ill take back what i said then
double dose is stricly better though =/
i take what i have
never ran ttk, just 2x dd
my 5ring azerites are uhh, okay
sims telling me to use master assassin now
if you dont have any shrouded, then probly
Laser matrix 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
well this one is using ttk, but laser sims the same
135k*
with nightstalker it's well over 200k envenom
you dont have any chest that has two traits on it?
was using MA
just buy a random 385 tbh
it likely wont effect you being able to buy a 415 any sooner
even 370 5ring azerite is a big upgrade to 385 4ring
yeah that too
873 residuum and i did a 15
that'll put me just at 1720ish
isnt it 365 residium this week
from weekly?
800ish with a 15
yeah youll need to scrap 1 piece of azerite
but you should hit the 1725 mark
yeh i could always just do a few m0's
just scrap ur old 385s
for 35 residium now
or so
i recieved none of them post change so i dont get the residuum 😦
m0s then
yeh that'll have to do
do full leather group and pray they give u some azerites
could be worse
u know whtas worse
spamming shrine 5s all day and not get gatecaller
dropping your ice cream on a hot day?
i dont really want to live in a world without ss
just so fluent
also even without master poisoner, mastery simming highest for me
didnt think it would happen
Theres not a single scenario in pve where you'd use master poisoner
@strange python same for me, I dropped SS traits and went MA..going to try it out for a while. I know initial opener is crazy burst
how do sin rogues handle the mass rush of reaping adds? just spam CT?
dno if there's rly a special number of ruptures
i have a few scent of blood traits too
3x garrote + rupture go to town ig uess
i normally keep Ct bleed up
and get as many ruptures as possible up
and once i have a shit load of ruptures then i'll start spamming ct
but dno if that's the optimal way
Does raidbots effectively simulate timewarped trinkets? Want to see how a 275 windswept trinket matches against my fathoms deck trinke
A 275??
whoops sorry, 375 windswept trinket
sim really doesnt like my 3rd double dose
wait peki youre alliance lol
i was like where the fuck u get that helm from
kinda unlucky to get that though i guess since bis helm is off first boss
morning @strange python :)) xx
when did u sleep
every day of my life except yesterday and today monkas
first boss helm is for sure better than that one at an even ilvl, but also considering that youll get the mytghic one relativly fast
assuming you raid mythic
which im pretty sure you do
i mean depends how highly you value treacherous
dd/np + overwhelming its the same
really depends on the content i suppose
i get what you're saying, but lets use this weeks m+ affixes for example, where my uptime on it is less than 50%
in a vacuum, yeh its better
we'll see how mythic prog goes
to each their own, but even in m+ id use it
the times where it wont be active are at the end of a pack
not nessecarily during your big damage windows
Does galecaller's boon stack with lust?
how accurate is the Dungeon Slice (BETA) simming for dungeons? mastery sims pretty low and haste and crit is super high?
@strange python you wrong
rarely, but not here
Just dont use dd 4head
probably a reason its not called triple dose
I love double dose
in general, are we looking for 1 SS, 1 NP, a few TC, and a few DD?
This has prob been asked a ton but Echoing Blades > SS in M+?
Sub is doubtful, it's just not doing well outside it's niche.
Is Shrouded really only beneficial with Exsanguinate?
No, it's good with tb too, esp the first one.
I was using 2 SS and tb was better st
I have the rare opportunity to pick
It's all very situational
It's all about that one button like killing spree or secret technique
1 SS and 2 DD or the other way
Ss in 2019 
Sin does better sustained aoe than sub. Sec tech isn't going to be that huge
Sim it Sab. DD is better St, ss shines in multi
Variance?
I've never seen that
The margin of error is something like 0.05%
It does the exact same for thousands of iterations and then averages that
I'm aware
Then you should know it won't vary by thousands between sims
Unless something is being changed
I reforge my azerite and retalent so I can just draw straight from game data rather than using talent calculator
The data for raidbots is pulled from game data...
Unless I use talent calculator instead of copypasta from simc
I don't understand what you're saying
St Sim is accurate though, you should use to decide
Instead of doing a straight dps sim I was trying to use talent compare
And things got wonky
Just running each iteration as a sim with relogging in WoW works best I guess. 5 attempts later and DDx2 and SSx1 with Toxic Blade pulled ahead.
could someone sendme their tricks macro? my focus one doesnt work
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
👏 ... 👏 ... 👏
is exasanguite AOE or is it single target only?
ST only, aoe exsang would be nuts
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Sinister Strike
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Dispatch
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Ambush
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Roll The Bones
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Between the Eyes
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Pistol Shot
that should do yer just fine
its what i do 
lol
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Sinister Strike; Dispatch; Ambush; Roll The Bones; Between the Eyes; Pistol Shot
This does not work.
Cause you need to vanish before ambush
Riiiiiiiiiiight
/cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade
/cast Sinister Strike; Dispatch
/cast Vanish; Ambush
/cast Roll The Bones; Between the Eyes; Pistol Shot
I wouldnt make a macro like that
^,you should use tricks 2-3 sec before pull anyway, and the other stuff is just all skills in 1 macro?
True story
eh, sometimes its better too hold tricks instead of using on cd
Btw, is 3x SS 3x EB the best way to go atm for M+?
With reaping I've sometimes regretted having it on cd as a wave is spawning
??
like, on stormwall brokcade you want tricks when the 2 priest switch sides
or in m+ with reaping
Yes stabz I think that's nutty although only one piece with that combo from raid, other two slots have to be residuum
Hello from raid is good too for the same/tc combo
Helm
Holy fuck
Phone typing
Ss/tc
I would actually love 1x SS/TC just for some more umpf
turn autocorrect off ;P
But yeah trees every reaping and Earth ele every reaping is pretty fucking nice for stacking it up fast
And just a few seconds to mongo without worry
Which is all I've found it really takes to clean things up
Would ya say reaping is less of a pain in the ass than infected?
10millions times easier
Sweeeet
you can just pull with reaping, dont need too slow down like with infested
People are already doing 20s with shit azerite week 1
Im sensing that reaping will get buffed somehow
Good xD
its sometimes really easy, and sometimes really shit,deepens on the enemy wave that comes
Think the 20s being done are like TD tho right?
many elite enemys=stuff can go south pretty fast
But still yeah I tihnk reaping is easier. Maybe not for random pugs though
Yeah all TDs but a 20 to this season is like what 23-24 s1?
Random pugs who pulled one pack at a time will probably find reaping harder
a 10key right now is bettwen a 13 and 14 key last season difficulty wise
Hmm, easy enough
Will get easier in a few weeks when people starr reaching 395-400 ilvl
Next week I think people are gonna be getting baseline 20s
With more azerites and good affixes
TD is unique in that its a joke of a dungeon
wath are all the outlaws doing in the superior sin channel btw?
Theyll probably make the cannons not work on them at some point
Dont see how they wont
So the scaling up doesnt really make any difference in there
Yeah
everything is hard for casual man
Because they dont utilize cannons the way pushers do
thats like, the deffenition of a casual
@sturdy python ty
Its not tho, some things are intuitive and not difficult regardless of skillset right
So i have a few options. Play the healer myself. Swap to BloodDK and pull myself. Find better friends. Or just accept the shitty play.
honestly we always have at least one offspec or alt.
wq still only way to level rep with champions?
I mean there isn't a whole lot of more than 6 mob pulls
That are meta pulls atleast
Outside of reapojg of course
Ur maybe with second boss room, skele packs which are a joke, kr blobs, fh quite a few pulls, motherlode you really don't want much more than 6. Maybe two pulls after second boss. Shrine maybe two pulls with 6+ elites
There is more. But yeah
It's not super super common
i mean. we pull pack, by pack.
thats why 3ss is so godly.
3-5 over and over and over.
even better w/ shadowmeld
Shadowmeld Xdxdddxd
w/e. just bitching to bitch.
Yeah I mean depending on the key one pack at a time is ok
It really safe but you don't get to see big numbers which sucks
Just pug if you want to do higher
grats on the sockt
Rogues are near 100 pickrate in keys
If no one is on tonight. Ill pug. sounds fine.
this one was something else.
explosive orbs everywhere.
2h
ugh
Yikes
I should play with people that beat me probably.
honestly, I beat them, cause we pull like bitches.
Are you us horde
yeah. Thrall US Horder
I'll run some shit with you sometime
I like to put and it'll help your score so you can get into better pugs easier
What stats should be prio for high end m+ is it still mastery?
what if blzizard let us m+ on all dungeons that were out since m+ inception. If the dungoens were created or out with mythic + system in place they should let them all be playable throughout time with current affixes....
see yall in neltharions lair with reaping POG
guys, the crafted trinket is any good? i mena, are the sims right? cuz it sims like shit to me. the 385 i mean
Alch stone?
y
It sims like shit because it is shit.
depends on what you have access too. but yeah. its not simming incorrectly
@marble hemlock in a perfect M+ world what are your 6x? 2g 2fok 2rupture?
depending on boss, ye
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
Hey guys so I was throwing my logs into wow analyzer and its telling me that im wasting CPs generated with garrote
But on certain fights I open up on 3 targts with 3 SS garrote, just gotta accept the fact that those points are going to be wasted right?
There is nobody maintaning the assassin (or any rogue spec for that matter) module for wow analyzer
Ah. But garroting all possible targets still king dick right?
Yes
yes
Im thinking 3 ss and echoing would be nice
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4zabt82dk1FvJPaxLgSSf8
Can anyone explain why DD would be better than a 2nd SS when specced into subterfuge? I have no words, makes zero sense to me.
Is there a weak aura that tracks empowered garrotes/rupture
Is Boon still bis with toxic blade or is it only with exsanguinate?
@cerulean junco haven't used it myself but I recently heard this one does that https://wago.io/AcVGRZAuG
Database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
thank you!!
@high shell it's got more synergy with ExS but it could be best for you with TB too - sim it!
does NP energy gain stack?
No it doesn't so you really don't want more than 1 copy of the trait
(@rancid bobcat )
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3jtE4otqD1iPfdXcHesr3z does anyone else get these results when comparing toxic blade/exsanguinate? it is 1% superior here, im not certain why
im just throwing together an asn set
not surprised that TB is simming a bit better for you with only 1SS, sim's probably right
ya it is a weak SS as well, 370
just throwing something together for the raid, the 1st 2 bosses are asn
my other pieces are much better, but no shrouded sang unfortunately
This question seems pretty obvious, but I figure better safe than sorry when it comes to my rotation. Is the Nothing Personal trait and the trinket Invocation of Yu'lon affected by the 30% nature damage buff by toxic blade?
Trait should be, trinket no
Huh, bummer, just had a second to test and you're right. Sucks, considering it says its dealing nature damage.
Trinkets are not buffed by things like that anymore due to idiotic stat scaling that caused issues in Legion.
If my energy is not capped, I'm meleeing, and I don't have any temporary buffs up, I'm not losing damage by doing nothing, correct?
goawaymastery
hey guys which is more accurate herodamage or blood mallet. Both are showing SS at different levels and has made me skeptical of which one is the correct one.
Herodamage shows their sims, and the gear they are using. Last i checked (start of BFA) bloodmallet didnt show sim datat
Blood mallet uses master assassin so SS underperforms
