Tripple EB+SS will be so much fun

#

gotta get the pieces first tho

strange python
#

I have 3xSS 2xEB. And I find sin better than outlaw. I am going fine in M+ . The higher the keys the better it feel to be honest

unkempt tangle
#

From what I saw I could work better on bleed uptime (93%) though I'm not the worst of the 3 rogues. EP is 68%, not sure whether that's average or not

rose perch
#

EP uptime definitely not something to worry about no

#

keeping bleeds up is a good thing to aim for for sure

#

especially without Subterfuge or Shrouded or Exsang, you have little reason to ever let them drop off

#

you did a good job of not mutilating at 4+ combo points

hasty hamlet
#

What are the stats as assa rogue for raid still haste>crit>versa>mastery

quick ice
#

simself is always the better option

real bay
#

bless raidbots

#

don't miss simming slowly with own pc

solemn dune
#

so shrouded is no longer mandatory ? dd is better ?

thin patio
#

@unkempt tangle at 6:54 you did wrong MA rotation

real bay
#

for pure st dd is likely better but sim

thin patio
#

not much but better than nothing ^^

rose perch
#

@unkempt tangle yeah that last vanish is a problem

#

and missing prepot hurts a bit too

real bay
#

got 3x 400 DD it does mad on st

rose perch
#

getting more real azerite will help you keep up with the other rogues too

thin patio
#

True yikes !

rose perch
#

also ofc you may know this but there are +37 stat enchants for rings if you want to squeeze out an extra half a gem

real bay
#

killed 3 bosses and simdps went up 2k lol, azerites are big

hallow walrus
#

@solid nova Did you try this? I did exactly this and tried to fly over there. 1) fatigue would kick in before reaching bloodmyst isle 2) i flew against an invisible wall, got dismounted and fell into the water

solid nova
#

Apparently he teleports you there

quick ice
#

ypou can't fly to bloodmyst

solid nova
#

I just googled it for you and copy/pasted what people confirmed was true

quick ice
#

its in a different zone

solid nova
#

Along with the wowhead comments

#

You're meant to talk to the NPC

quick ice
#

there's a boat that takes you once you're in the correct phase

#

(I think its still a boat)

unkempt tangle
#

@rose perch uh true xD thanks for the tips. I got 400 azerite head from blockade so traits should be better now :)

#

@thin patio thanks for the tips !

rose perch
#

Pog grats!

hallow walrus
#

Ok i have to test this again. I talked to him this morning "like, let me see the old Darkshore", but i didnt find a boat or something (this was coming to Auberdine, right?)

#

i didnt see him having a teleport option, might check again in the evening

solid nova
#

Yeah so he takes you back in time

#

And it should be accessible that way

#

Apparently at least

#

Read a reddit post and the wowhead npc comments said the same so i assume its fine

hallow walrus
#

ok, will do, thanks mate

regal chasm
#

is there a point at which Exsang becomes better than Toxic Blade? like at a particular haste/crit %

#

or is it just the type of damage that is required

#

sustain vs Burst

unkempt tangle
#

I think it's with SS that it becomes better. At least on my Sims, with 2 SS exs is better

verbal mantle
#

Yes, SS does a lot of work in that case

regal chasm
#

and correct me if im wrong but most BoD pieces have DD instead of SS

verbal mantle
#

plus it's more comfy to play with Exsang imho

#

did you read the loot table ?

onyx rock
#

And more fun

regal chasm
#

ive only recently come back @verbal mantle so im havnt looked at all of em

verbal mantle
#

trying to find it atm

#

but iirc there are SS and DD

strange python
#

Anyone have tried out Hidden Blades + EB? Possibly +MA if you lack SS?

#

For m+

regal chasm
#

might be interesting on non Bursting weeks @strange python

verbal mantle
#

Didnt test it yet Braxoo, but i will definetly try it out

onyx rock
#

I did yes... but i didnt like it tbh. On big pulls its fun yes but you dont have any boss dmg and you are not very versatile

#

If you dont have any SS I would farm m0 or something to get one

strange python
#

I have 3xSS so the idea was not for myself. It was more a general question based in the idea to burst Reaping asap

regal chasm
#

i have 1 SS

vast forum
#

Ma with 3 eb is amazing on some dungeons fortified

tiny vapor
#

EB is great for Reaping imho

onyx rock
#

it's certainly cool for reaping, but remember, reaping is just a small part of m +. There are other classes that can take over

regal chasm
#

i can see UH DK and Ele sham doing Major DMG

#

i just realized...

#

Motherlode with reaping......

#

Eww

obsidian sierra
#

I was running 14 td yesterday with 2 ss 2 eb 1 sob 1 muti (due to unoptimal azerite) and pulled around 40-50k on aoes and it was my first reaping dungeon so i didnt know how to time everything and optimize

spice surge
#

If you want to kill reaping adds fast play #outlaw

obsidian sierra
#

Plus i was top on bosses

#

So i think assa still is pretty fine

regal chasm
#

i do feel im failing somewhere on the Rot

onyx rock
#

Yes assa is pretty fine overall

regal chasm
#

but ive no data to actually check against

#

watching guides is all well n good

#

i find i learn better from being told i fucked up

obsidian sierra
#

Whats your issue

#

To less dps or what

regal chasm
#

im simming about.. 16k

#

but only hitting 13 ish

buoyant flicker
#

Play better :)

obsidian sierra
#

Ah you mean st ?

regal chasm
#

aye

obsidian sierra
#

Hm dont know assa rota is pretty straight forward

#

All the guides saYing the same

regal chasm
#

im not sure if for the stats i have im using incorrect talents or what

tiny vapor
#

Yeah you can't really go wrong, it's not difficult at all

regal chasm
#

i was informed previously that @ 18 % haste you used exsang

spice surge
#

Are you testing your damage on a dummy

#

There no hard % caps for anything

#

Because sims use potions, bloodlust, flask and food

tiny vapor
#

simself if you're not sure, with different talents !

spice surge
#

If you dont, obv your damage will be lower

obsidian sierra
#

Tbh exsang i find bad for raiding since fights are pretty long and you only get max value from vanish openers with ss

#

I play tb over all bosses

spice surge
#

Also there's some nuance to playing assa, its just that its not overly impactful and its not obvious at all when you screw up

onyx rock
#

Its simple... play more, get loot, sim again, wear your best combo, repeat

regal chasm
#

it could be a simple case of Git Gud which id Gladly accept if i could find where im fuckin up XD

spice surge
#

If you link a log we can help you out

verbal mantle
#

If you have some logs it could help a lot indeed

regal chasm
#

Like i said above... no data to check against.

#

ive old logs but they are pointless now

real bay
#

proper use of cd' s, keeping bleeds up, not capping energy or wasting CP's gets you quite far

verbal mantle
#

Up your neck, try to raid and get new azerite pieces with good traits such as DD, SS, sim with different talents since you have some differences between TB and Exsang

#

and work on your rotation, hard to tell when we don't have more informations

regal chasm
#

yeah.. ill get some logs this week and if could point the hard finger

#

rap my knuckles and ill "GIT GUD"

verbal mantle
#

Dont give up

#

that the main thing to do lel

obsidian sierra
#

I dont know how the screen looks when playing outlaw but with 2 eb i loved how crits and figures flew over the screen ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Huge aoe is fun

#

Want to test with 3 eb once i have the pieces

regal chasm
#

is crimson tempest even worth using? since it doesnt proc the passive

tiny vapor
#

Yes in certain situations

devout jolt
#

depends on pack size

#

ive been using PB this week whilst due to bursting and tanks doing smaller pulls

tiny vapor
#

Same

#

CT doesn't feel good when the tank can't pull much

frozen pecan
#

never give up YoukoShock

strange python
#

Not even CT for reaping. That is what I have been using

buoyant flicker
#

For st dps in raids pooling energy to clip EPs is pretty huge

spice surge
#

It really isnt though

quick ice
#

I think someone did the APL fiddling last year and showed it might be 1-2%

#

tops

real bay
#

it's easy to have 70%+ uptime

nimble tartan
#

I press my buttons whenever i want works out fine

#

๐Ÿ‘

buoyant flicker
#

Is 2% not huge to you guys?

quick ice
#

its also possible that I'm VASTLY overstating its impact

vast forum
#

I think it's probably less than 2% tbh

spice surge
#

Idk what do you even mean by clipping EP, because that isnt even always the right play

#

Especially with double doses, its better to have your mutilates with envenom buff inside EP than it is to get 10% extra dmg on your envenom

small island
#

is more than 1 echoing blades needed for it to be good?

strange python
#

For m+.... the more you have the better

bronze holly
#

Is the 415 alchemy stone better than the raid trinkets?

quick ice
#

nope

#

pretty bad tbh

strange python
#

@small island it comes down to a combo of SS and EB. Now with 5 rings. There are multiple pieces with SS and EB at the same time. Those are the ones you wanna go for

#

Hey guys, whats the best race for rogue horde, pve wise? orcs?

quick ice
#

herodamage currently has belf on top

strange python
#

belf?...come on :()

#

why tho?

quick ice
#

1% crit is pretty nice

strange python
#

thats it?...:/

quick ice
#

arcane torrent free energy?

midnight ibex
#

Well the difference is pretty minimal so wouldnt worry about it. BE racial is good though

vast forum
#

Troll if you play exsg

#

But belf best overall

strange python
#

Alright, was hoping u'd say orc or mag'har lol

vast forum
#

The difference is so minor

strange python
#

oh ok so it doesn't really matter that much got it

vast forum
#

You can choose whatever you think looks best

strange python
#

yea cause i wanted to make an orc with that laughing skull mask transmog

#

real bay
#

What if you're ally ionsadhours

vast forum
#

Nelf

quick ice
#

then you have your i400 piece to carry you instead of racials ๐Ÿ˜›

vast forum
#

Meld is too op not to have

strange python
#

i am ally, elf but dont like ally anymore, atleaast on this shitty realm

#

Nelf is so nice. I like melding for extra Garrote so much. + it is nice since you get 4 extra silences on the reaping wave. Been using that all week to help out my tank with ranged mobs since we cannot always stack LoS due to quaking

real bay
#

I am guessing bloodmallet does not account for the extra garrote

#

or

strange python
#

In bossfights you only get 1 extra. But in mob packs you get a full duration Subs+Garrotea

spice surge
#

It does, but when you're not running SS its not very impactful

vast forum
#

Nelfs are pretty much obligated to run 3xSS if they can :D

burnt orbit
#

"Rupture, refresh with 7.2 seconds remaining at 5 combo points, or 6 seconds remaining at 4 combo points", the combo points that this says means the rupture that u are gonna use or the one u used before?

#

i dont get why u have to wait 1,2 secs more if the rupture will last shorter

spice surge
#

Its refering to how many points you spent on the rupture that is already up

#

Not how many you're planning to spend

burnt orbit
#

okey ty so much

vast forum
#

Wait no, that's not true

#

Pandemic calculates from the one you plan to apply

#

So if you have 7 sec remaining from any kind of rupture up on a target, a 5cp rupture will have its duration increased by 7 sec

#

Even if the remaining 7 sec were from a 1cp rupture

real bay
#

makes more sense imo

#

about the duration you are applying

burnt orbit
#

okey, but why the 4combo rapture has to be applied when are 6 sec left?

real bay
#

actually I'll just Google it.. lmao

vast forum
#

You don't have to apply at 6

#

Reapply at 6 or less

spice surge
#

What? The reason you can refresh at 6 seconds with 4cp instead of 7.2

#

Is that the original rupture was shorter

#

Thus you need to wait a bit more to not waste pandemic time

#

Pandemic is always 30% of the original duration, so if you spent 5 cp the pandemic window is larger

#

than if you spent 4

vast forum
#

I'm like 99% sure it's the other way around

real bay
#

I'm finding mixed info as well

spice surge
#

If you put up a 1 cp garrote

vast forum
#

If you have 5cp and want to apply new rupture, previous one should have less than 7.2 remaining

spice surge
#

The pandemic window isnt fucking 7.2s

#

Sure you will get a longer new rupture

#

But you will miss damage from the previous ones

vast forum
#

What?

#

You don't make any sense

spice surge
#

If you put up a 1 cp rupture

#

It will last 8 seconds

#

If you put up a 5cp rupture right after at 7 seconds, you will waste the majorit of that rupture

vast forum
#

If you put up a 3cp rupture in the grg opener, then muti and apply 5cp rupture, it gets the full 31sec duration

humble crane
#

Is it still possible to cloak off the iceblock buff on Jaina or did they fix it? I tried all night tonight on our heroic kill but the debuff never got to 5 seconds passively without Reseting the counter and applying a stack

real bay
#

and if you apply a 5cp on that you will get full pandemic when it's under 7.2sec

spice surge
#

Yes, it gets the full duration

#

It gets the full duration if you refresh it at 20s left too

wary frost
#

4 cpoints rupture : 20 s 30% of 20s is 6s

#

5 cpoints rupture : 24 s 30% of 20s is 7.2s

#

thats why

vast forum
#

Yes, but it calculates from the newly cast rupture

wary frost
#

30รน is max pendemic

vast forum
#

Not the previous one

spice surge
#

If you refresh a 5cp garrote at 20s instead of 7.2 seconds, you have wasted 12.8s of rupture

#

Because you refreshed it too early

wary frost
#

yes

spice surge
#

And with a 4cp, you need to refresh it at 6s

#

Its got literally nothing to do with the new rupture

vast forum
#

That was never the point of this discussion

spice surge
#

?

strange python
#

please stop fighting i dont like it

real bay
#

the previous is irrelevant only thing that matters is the time left

slim olive
vast forum
#

You said 30% of first rupture is applied to 2nd

#

Which is not true

spice surge
#

No?

strange python
#

Yeh but if you 1 cp rupture and then that has 6 seconds left and then you 4 combo point rupture you're getting a max rupture

spice surge
#

Only 30% of the duration

wary frost
#

its 30% of the new one can be add

spice surge
#

Idk what you're even trying to say

vast forum
#

Up to 30% of newly cast rupture's duration can be added from previous rupture

spice surge
#

Yes?

vast forum
#

Regardless of the full duration of the 1st rupture

spice surge
#

Yes?

vast forum
#

You didn't say that originally

#

You said 30% of first rupture can be added to 2nd

burnt orbit
#

yeah

royal lantern
#

@lusty compass sorry just came home from work, and yeha, my character is a pandaren? you think it has something too do with that?

spice surge
#

No, i said if you refresh too early you miss damage

vast forum
#

No, before that

sturdy python
#

Pandemic is explained in pins

vast forum
#

You said the pandemic window is applied to 1st rupture

sturdy python
#

Ez pz

slim olive
#

You guys are gonna break Eleem

spice surge
#

Pandemic window is based on the 1st rupture?

wary frost
#

no

spice surge
#

wtf are you even

sturdy python
#

If you are casting a 24s rupture, 30% of that time can be tacked on from the previous rupture

royal lantern
#

stay strong eleem

wary frost
#

if you cast a new 5cp rupture at 1s you will add 1s due to pandemic, if you cast at 7.2s you add max pandemic ( 30% of the new one )

#

if you cast a 4cp rupture the max pandemic is lower ( 6s )

real bay
#

easy

u guys reckon Blood Rite is better than Scent of Blood in m+? they sim like 700 dps apart on a 4target 40s sim but ofc that doesnt count the kill refresh effect

thin patio
#

I'd say take scent but it depends on how u play M+

past star
#

scent definitely better in m+

strange python
#

If you wanna play Sin in M+ you should aim to have 3xSS + 3xEB. That is better. SoB after that.

#

You get good ST with the SS. Good burst AoE with EB. And overall very good damage on all packs with 4x Garrote and EB / Ruptures.

wide vapor
#

Is there any know bug with crimson tempest? Just used it for the first time in m+ yesterday and half the time I pressed the button it just didnโ€™t do anything, global locked me, and then I had to press again

#

Did you smash the key hard enough?

#

Joking, honestly no idea

strange python

Hello guys,i see a lot of video for the assassination opening,what is the best with toxic blade for raid?

cerulean walrus
#

Pins

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

Pins + sim yourself

real bay
#

depends on your talents

#

so guide it is

merry orbit
#

Guys, i was looking Sims today and on theory bis for sin rights now is 3x raid trait + 3x dd and ofcorse toxic blade, am I right?

cerulean walrus
#

I'd honestly go 3x TC 2x DD 1x NP

#

But that's just me

verbal mantle
#

depends if it's pure ST or not

merry orbit
#

Yea np is quite nice with energy but acording to sims 3rd tc is higher

verbal mantle
#

pure ST would definetly be at least 3 DD

cerulean walrus
#

Yeah.... you take the 3 TC AND NP

verbal mantle
#

TC is Tracherous Covenant right?

merry orbit
#

On double IT can be too like 2nd boss

#

Yea

verbal mantle
#

k

merry orbit
#

On what Boss it's nad to have 3x DD?

#

I mean couple of them have add phase, but bot that's super long

#

Maybe on mythic SS will be quite noce for Vanish burst

cerulean walrus
#

I just prefer NP because of the energy regen tbh

real bay
#

SS is nice for Rasta and Jadefire

strange python
#

I feel that, for full potential of that cleave you are talking about you will need to move more than you actually will gain. The only boss might be like Rastakahn

real bay
#

really need to get a second set of azerites so you can swap around

#

it such a pain

spice surge
#

Its also impossible to have 3x DD and 3x TC

verbal mantle
#

yup, thats my main issue atm since I came back to WoW 2 days ago lul

spice surge
#

so thats why the best setup has 1 NP

real bay
#

3x DD 2x TC 1xSoB rn

#

yep I need mekka chest

tiny vapor
#

TC is simming well because you never go below 50% tho

cerulean walrus
#

I really enjoyed the Mekkatorque fight tbh

#

Just don't go below 50%

#

That easy

tiny vapor
#

You don't know my heals

cerulean walrus
#

Stop taking avoidable damage.

tranquil basin
#

Is the simming correct for SS (without Exsanguinate), sims really low

spice surge
#

Yes, just make sure you're using subterfuge

#

Being below 50% for any substantial amount of time is very rare

cerulean walrus
#

If you're constantly under 50%, you're taking avoidable damage. lmao

#

I get that the fire looks nice and comfy, but don't

spice surge
#

G'huun is probably the worst fight imaginable for that trait and even then most of my guild would've had 75-80% uptime on it in the last phase

strange python
#

Except for Jaina. Then the fire is your friend

cerulean walrus
#

Until it isn't lul

spice surge
#

You dont really drop below 50% from the fires in p1 though, they only do like 30k per second

strange python
#

Btw. Isn't 3xDD, 2xTC, 1xNP best? Not 3xTC, 2xDD, 1xNP??

cerulean walrus
#

TC sims higher

spice surge
#

Tc sims higher, but its like 25-40 simdps

cerulean walrus
#

So do whatever you want

strange python
#

Okey nice

primal gazelle
#

TC gives aoe value as well since its your overall stats

cerulean walrus
#

? its just Agility

primal gazelle
#

which affects your ruptures

#

garrotes

#

etc

cerulean walrus
#

Well no kidding. Its your primary stat. Haste has more of an effect on those though

#

and Mastery as well

primal gazelle
#

not sure what you're saying here

#

my point is that TC gives aoe and st value

#

dd is st only

cerulean walrus
#

Wait yeah wtf am I saying? This is about the trait lmao

#

Holy shit I'm like drunk or something

spice surge
#

You're correct but the DD crits during vendetta+tb are definitely juicy

#

22k with only 2 traits atm ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

so thoughts on seductive power. I heard its kinda bugged where it hardly procs? im testing sims out on my gear and one of my traits is SP but im using SoB just because i heard its kind of bad but sims are showing SP better?

#

Unless its just normal that it like never procs

brave dragon
#

can we stack Nothing personal ?

spice surge
#

With every trait in the entire game, the damage/healing/stats always stack while all the other effects dont

finite acorn
#

should i use exs even i have better traits for TB in dungeons ?

#

in raids ik tb is better but just wondering is there some reason that exs is always in used in dungeons

outer ruin
#

significantly higher amount of garroting means exsang does more in dungeons

#

Also since you're envenoming much less, less TB value

oak inlet
#

I'm struggling a bit with understanding the rotation when there are 2 adds, 3 adds, and 4+ adds. I think the 2-add rotation is basically just the ST rotation and trying to maintain rupture + garrote on both targets. What about for 3 adds?

strange python
#

vanish garrote all 4 when they spawn

#

try to keep rapture on all 4

oak inlet
#

fan of knives to build CP?

strange python
#

fok instead of muti

oak inlet
#

And that's assuming subterfuge?

strange python
#

yeah

oak inlet
#

My sim is better for Master Assassin given my current traits (lack of SS). So that wouldn't be possible for me I don't think

obsidian sierra

Any1 know yet if raid trinket can compete with dungeon trinkets

strange python
#

no

#

no raid trinket can compete

Go into your damage breakdown, and look to the right

#

In the same row as your dots damage bar there wil be a "uptime" column

@buoyant coyote

oak inlet
#

and it will tell u

robust light
#

Can't check journal myself atm but does anyone know if any of the raid azerites have SS and EB on separate rings? If so which ones?

spice surge
#

Jaina shoulders

robust light
#

Okay cool. Anymore?

spice surge
#

Is wowanalyzer even updated for assa? I know it wasnt supported throughout uldir

robust light
#

So we're reliant on either using 370 m0 pieces or getting lucky in the cache to have 3x SS and 3x EB right?

spice surge
#

Looks to still be fairly barebones

#

Idk if you dont want to rely on luck buy specific

#

But buying random is in most scenarios just better because they're so much cheaper

robust light
#

Yeah ofc. Would have like 5/6 chances at getting a good one for same price of buying the specific

#

Can't remember exact amounts

spice surge
#

Its 4 1/6 chances, 5 if you scrap all the first 4

tough egret

what do people tend to gem and enchant for for m+?

spice surge
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.

tough egret
#

aye, but what do you actually do

robust light
#

I aim higher going mastery but I have 0 EB so I'd assume that's why

#

hello! anyone know how to use Invocation of Yu'lon? on CD?

spice surge
#

If you want ST damage you gem haste

#

Yes on cd

tough egret
#

fine, thanks

primal gazelle
#

jaina shoulders does not give ss/eb combo, it gives SS SOB, or EB SOB

#

its the conclave chest that gives SS/EB combo, the other 2 slots youll have to fill via random azerite purchases

spice surge
#

oh mb

primal gazelle
#

you should also purchase the shoulder slot first if you care to optimize for m+,
there are 2 out of 6 shoulder pieces that give ss/eb, so its double the chances of other slots of getting those traits

robust light
#

Ah right

#

Thanks

primal gazelle
#

i can buy a 415 random one tomorrow, hoping ill get it lol

#

33% chance

robust light

What's the chance of getting the combo from a chest? I was gonna buy chest at reset cause I currently still have a mythic uldir chest which is baaad

spice surge
#

You can have a look at all of the chests in the document in the pins

robust light
#

Oh yeah forgot about that

#

1 chest with the combo then yikes

wanton pond
#

i dont understand why people are taking opal over the emerald

#

if you shadowstep properly you can maintain high stacks, get into opulence and get to 30 stacks

#

maintaining that single target on the boss and doting the adds closest to you seems optimal

hollow stone
#

Tbh, most of us went opal because emerald was bugged and wasnt an option. Tbd which is actually better

ripe nimbus
#

Because it's bugged and only stacks to 5

wanton pond
#

?

#

did they fix it?

#

I ran it yesterday and capped at 30

hollow stone
#

Yea. They hotfixed it

wanton pond
#

ok so emerald is defs the way to go then no?

hollow stone
#

But after a lot of us already cleared

ripe nimbus
#

No

spice surge
#

Its likely opal is better on mythic if the fight lasts long

#

so you get multiple sets of adds

hollow stone
#

On a short kill, prob. Opal still likely better on longer kill times

spice surge
#

But for hc prob emerald

ripe nimbus
#

U get liquid gold once and ur fked

wanton pond
#

ok then in that case do you think it would be worth to vanish triple garrote then fok continously ?

potent monolith
#

if i have only 1 SS i have to use Subterfuge or Master assasing?

ripe nimbus
#

Sub

hollow junco
#

!simyoself

fading vigil
#

How the fuck did they down heroic opulence in 2 minutes?

hollow stone
#

Depends on what your group needs. If you are tunnelling st into boss you fok once per add spawn. If youre aoeing, aoe

ripe nimbus
#

If u have any SS it's always sub

fading vigil
#

2 minutes and 18 seconds. Did anyone see that?!

wanton pond
#

i feel like even if you get liquid gold if you have shadow step up you can maintain your stacks

spice surge
#

Prob just a log error

ripe nimbus
#

It's a bug u can reset the boss and keep ur gem stacks

dark crag
#

You have 1 step, you have to run once

primal gazelle
#

who are you gonna shadowstep to if you get liquid gold?

spice surge
#

Their logs start when they hit the boss, not when they start the corridor

#

so yes, its a bugged log

wanton pond
#

you sprint out, cloak

#

then shadow step back in

primal gazelle
#

thats still losing stacks tho

wanton pond
#

that way you lose half the stacks you normally would

#

yeah but definately not as much

#

you can recover and get back to 30

dark crag
#

And then you get gold a second time

primal gazelle
#

how much dmg increase is 30 stacks?

wanton pond
#

well if you get it again youre defs fucked

#

30%

#

increase

#

1% per stack

primal gazelle
#

thats less than 2 waves of adds lol

wanton pond
#

your st flies

hollow stone
#

Opal is the safer choice unless it's a fast kill

ripe nimbus
#

If ur guild can kill the boss and only have him spawn adds once emerald may have merit

hollow stone
#

Simple as that

primal gazelle
#

yea maybe on farm

#

on mythic, the adds will live longer and be more spread out, and youll get a 3rd wave or even 4th

wanton pond
#

i see both being useful

#

i think depends on your group

hollow stone
#

Its almost like we said that

is the raidbots tool reliable to compare dps output across specs?. (haven't played since MoP, and back then shadowcraft was good intra-spec, not so much across)

spice surge
#

You're missing a lot of dps traits in your gear, and scent of blood is fairly bad for ST

primal gazelle

you dont have the neck ilvl for the 3rd dps rings

which is 200-400 dps each depending on trait

@wild stone what i do is ill email my self the current /simc on my rogue then copy that from my phone then you can top gear while your at work.

do you hold on to your 2nd vendetta till vanish is back up? (20 sec ish)

@mighty elm you would 100%

miss to much burst w/o it, but it should be close. within like 5 seconds of eachother

mighty elm

well first one come

20 sec later

sturdy python

Yes, hold second vendetta for second vanish. After that they line up

mighty elm

yeah ok perfect

assume you hold on for the toxic blade for it aswell

sturdy python

Tb on cd

mighty elm

dont you line it up with vanish vendetta ?

sturdy python

it's only a 25s CD. You can hold vendetta and vanish for tb

mighty elm

hmm i see

sturdy python

Chances are you'll never have to for more than a few seconds though

I would only reccomend the MA build for fights that require very little movement. So far thats pretty much just Grong. I sim higher for ST with MA but real world has me doing a lot more dps with SS+subt

Where can I find more information on running Crimson Tempest for high keys?

primal gazelle
#

!ct

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

round harbor
#

@primal gazelle I been playing with pb and it feels so nice

primal gazelle
#

poison bomb?

round harbor
#

CT is still good, but with triple eb spending less energy on CT and more energy on foks feels right

primal gazelle
#

use HB foo

#

if you gonna do triple eb

round harbor
#

O run double atm

#

I

primal gazelle
#

o

#

when i get 3 ss 3 eb i plan to run hb

round harbor

But looking at people and just using the two feels correct

primal gazelle

@round harbor lets duke it out one day when we both get bis traits ๐Ÿ˜›

I'm also considering running 3ss 2eb and 1scent if possible

With pb

Best name plates !?!?

round harbor

It sounds really good synergy

primal gazelle

i dont like scent very much tbh

#

it actually sucks for reaping because they just die before you can get 4-5+ off

round harbor
#

Yeah as sin ubaint the reaping killer tho

#

You rupt the larger targets

primal gazelle
#

what i do is actually only rupture the risen souls (lowest hp ones)

#

spam fok until 50 or less energy, 5 cp rupture a dying risen soul for full energy bar back

#

and just keep spamming fok without putting up ruptures unless under 50 energy

#

i only have maybe 2-3 up at a time this way and just spam fok

round harbor
#

Also gotta consider I'll probly be running outlaw in everything besides kr and temple

#

So or and temple might benefit from scent and a little less aoe

#

Or*

#

Kr

#

I'm just azerite starved ATM so I can't run both specs optimally

Can you pre-cloak to stop the iceblock on jaina? Like, theres those few sec before you get blocked after hitting 20. If you cloak then, can you avoid being blocked? I cannot test again until next week

spice surge
#

Yes for 5 seconds

primal gazelle
#

cloak doesnt clear your stacks, so even if you stop the iceblock, itll still freeze u right after it fades

hollow stone
#

Ah ok. So the stacks remain, it would just extend the time before actually being blocked by 5 sec

#

Wtf blizz, why even play rogue? ๐Ÿ™ƒ

#

I was hoping it would interact like "hit 20, cloak, immunes the block, stacks reset as if blocked, profit"

cerulean walrus
#

Breaking news: Cloak clears stacks. Method uses 5 rogues to defeat Mythic Jaina for WF

#

Zulul II: Electric Boogaloo

Nah nah, clearing stacks, thats fine, that makes sense. But im pretty sure if you bubble pre-block, you dont get blocked

So stack pallies i guess

just summon yourself durrng combat and hearthstone on 20

so youre jus delaying it lol

not avoiding the mechanic

Yea. Its all just delay

Its almost like they thought about this ahead of time

And then free action pots happened...

Just play mage

free action pots work on jaina?

And block/blink out of every block

theres no you can blink a block what

cloak doesnt clear stacks

is that a meme

If you dont play shimmer

and they will remove the free action pot thing

cerulean walrus

Nah I wasnโ€™t serious about Cloaking stacks Tryan

It was all for the meme potential

I wasnt asking about stacks but about the block itself. Either way, mystery solved

If a fire mage combustions right before getting blocked...... #classfantasy

anyone else feel bad when theres like 6-8+ iceblocks to pad on jaina, as a rogue you do like maybe 20-30k dps to them, but dhs and ret pallys blast fhem for 60-80k ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Hi! I am a bit newbie when it comes to rogues and how to play them, so I kinda would like to some one more experienced to maybe help me out. I checked the guide and pinned messages but didnt find an answer. So the thing I wanted to ask is that should I go with Shrouded suffocation over Double dose when they are both same Ilvl gear when playing Toxic Blade. Other thing that I am wondering is that how much I should pool energy when going to cast toxic blade to make as much out from it as possible ?

prisma carbon
#

Both traits are good. Simming yourself would tell you what is better. SS will probably pull ahead on fights where you can vanish garrote multiple targets.

merry python
#

try to pool for TB but i'm pretty sure you just want to mash it if you're arent 5 cp

#

to get the most casts out of it rather than the most efficient one

steep carbon
#

Ty for answers. So Gerts do you mean that I should cast envenom after every mutilate ?

#

during toxic blade ^^

solid nova
#

Finish on 4+

#

That applies to TB window too.

steep carbon
#

Okay, thank you!

primal gazelle
#

anyone tried testing out MA with 3 DD? and changing your vanish opener to mut envenom mut?

ideally your DD can crit too which "might" be a dps increase" but who knows

I gotta ask, I'm struggling a bit with rogue for example in Freehold. I just can't stay out of some kind of aoe everywhere. Am I being a tard or something?

primal gazelle
#

yes

#

stun the duelist charge, banana barrage, dodge traps, interrupt frost blast

#

avoid the slam from the crusher

hollow stone
#

And if you still fail, go outlaw for the extra melee range, it removes a bunch of those XD

worthy leaf

Yeah I found m+ a lot easier on outlaw in general... but... assassin is more fun :p Other than that whole dying part

atomic willow
#

whats the best proffesions for a sin rogue?

rustic ether
#

the enforcers are always the hardest ones to dodge because i can never see where theyre facing lmfao

primal gazelle
#

i wish theres like a WA that shows an arrow on top of your target and which direction its facing

hollow stone
#

Proffs allow you to craft gear. Lw and jc would be considered the best for rogue this tier. W makes 2 pieces and jc makes a guaranteed socketed ring

rustic ether
#

is that sarcastic

#

i feel like thats sarcastic

primal gazelle
#

me? no

rustic ether
#

damn i wished you were LOL

atomic willow
#

ok i got LW and was thinking bout ditching skinniong for something so jc looks promising

primal gazelle

im actually serious

#

i feel like it would help alot

#

esp on bosses like jaina

worthy leaf
#

The good, old AVR addon would be awesome

primal gazelle

her boss model is so small

and theres like 8 other melee on top of it

She's dainty

primal gazelle

and the entire damn background is BLUE

and shes casting an icy ray thats also blue

cant see shit

Just mark her with square ๐Ÿค“

mark doesnt show which direction shes facing

yeha, they should make jaina somewhat better too see

(Square is also blue and cant be seen with that fight room)

primal gazelle
#

joke went over my head

odd hatch
#

Let's say I'm at 75% energy on mekka, and tb comes up while I'm at max cp and bleeds have sufficient time. Currently I cast tb and overcap cp to get another env out. Over the course of a fight, I get 3 or so more envs out during tb but lose an env overall. Worth or nah

nimble tartan
#

Its fine

spice surge
#

Think of it this way

#

1 combo point is worth roughly 20% of an envenom (slightly less because of energy)

#

And TB increases envenom damage by 30%

#

30%>20%

oak inlet
#

I am sure trait stacking has been discussed at length, but can anyone confirm if I have our BIS azerite gear correct please? Cowl of Righteous Resolve (DD + TC), Ma'ra's Boneblade Mantle (DD + TC), and Mekkatorque's Bomber Jacket (NP + TC)

odd hatch
#

That's true. Tb crits like almost half the time for me though, so that'd be 40%>30%. Ehhhh

lost sentinel
#

so a 3 point TB envenom < 5 point non-tb envenom?

nimble tartan
#

Never 3 cp env

lost sentinel
#

I don't, but it seems like a worthwhile question

#

also, you might 3 cp env if the thing is about to die before 2 globals ๐Ÿ˜›

#

so never say never ๐Ÿ˜„

nimble tartan
odd hatch
#

Ok so on that, let's say mekka is about to fly away but this is the last chance to use vanish before wasting a ton of time. If we have ss, would it be garrote env garrote or garrote garrote env?

primal gazelle
#

he takes 99% reduced dmg when he flies away

#

so youre wasting it either way

odd hatch
#

That was a bad example lmao

#

Rasta before going into bwomamdi's area. That'd be a solid 15s off target

primal gazelle
#

mut --> 2 combo, vanish -> g finisher G to avoid wasting cp points if possible

nimble tartan
#

Theres like barely any downtime b4 u go down

odd hatch
#

If you're too low energy going into those last 3s you just won't have the energy to get those off tho

#

I guess you can sacrifice something else to pool tho

nimble tartan
#

Just dont leave early he has a cast time for his phase so just watch for it

if not bis very close to it, nothing better from raid I guess

those pieces are from raid..

real bay

yes

primal gazelle
#

the shoulder piece is called Mestrah's Singing Spaulders

My analysis includes dungeon gear tho

primal gazelle
#

which piece is dungeon

real bay
#

name is different ally/horde

primal gazelle
#

oh

real bay
#

kinda dumb

oak inlet
#

From what I see, ideally we would want 3 x DD and 3 x TC

#

but there is no chest piece in the game that has DD and TC

#

so we are left with what i posted

strange python
#

Btw guys what is top best performing spec for m+ and what is for raid?

real bay
#

pins is the answer

strange python
#

Heard that outlaw does way more dps in m+ with new affix than assa , sry i was not playing for some time.

oak inlet
#

You'll get a lot of different answers on this addikt as it is a matter of opinion. But I'd say outlaw for m+ and sin for raids.

strange python

i saw noxxic site looks like sub is performing better with 385-415ilvl on 1 target not moving

delete that website from your browsing history. also how many fights are you aware of where there's 1 target and no movement?

glossy kestrel
#

you proably want EB not DD for like half the fights in BODA

what? lol

you do not want any eb for any fights in the raid

sheesh

strange python
#

i know but its just testing how classes perform ๐Ÿ˜„

@strange python Sin and Outlaw are perfectly viable choices. The wowhead guides are probably the best written atm. Use sims, WCL and other resources here to determine things.

It's really well written

but are paladins now good dps in raid or this one was insane that i saw in raid?

there's millions of factors man

rustic ether

theyre not bad

No idea dude

he might have had 6 traits

Fair enough

rustic ether
#

rly? surprising! this is the first raid thats been surprisingly well recieved

yea i like it 10x better than Uldir

dno i liked Uldir more tbh it felt like a real raid

okay now thats too far

this feel so cheap dude

I really think it is leaps and bounds ahead of Uldir

you can have an opinion BUT NOT THAT ONE

that first boss with that small ass boat when i was there with 30ppl i got cancer my dude xD

yeah no im jk i just hated uldir like the sheep i am

no im sure theres people who dont enjoy it. its a very ranged friendly raid as usual so im sur emelee may not like it

rustic ether
#

ooooohhh

solid nova

Rip your log ๐Ÿ˜„

rustic ether
#

ohmygod i just read ruby

#

so ruby applies for literally everyone

#

holy fuck im blind

#

i feel so bad now

#

i think opulence would have gone down alot sooner if i hadnt told most of the melee to go ruby LMFAO

solid nova
#

Have a flick through this if you get 5 mins spare

#

Its decent

inner pecan
#

guide is decent but know that limit has nothing to do with it lol

#

title is clickbait

sinful lotus
#

Hello everyone, what's the optimal way to use the Gigavolt trinket from Mekatork? Do you wait until it hit 6 stacks (then wait 6 seconds) AND THEN hit the on use effect to get another 6 seconds at max stacks? Or am I understanding it wrong?

lost sentinel
#

why does the guide say limit, just to add credence to it? meh

solid nova
#

They're aware ๐Ÿ˜‰

heady raven
#

Just got the mekkatorque chest azerite

#

Should i go double dose or treacherous?

#

Rest of my azerite is all pre 8.1

spice surge
#

Prob dd, becuase they sim roughly the same

#

And even though the drawbacks of tc are rare, dd doesnt have drawbacks

heady raven
#

Yeah true

#

Hopefully i can snag tc off the first boss next week

rustic ether
#

for the bursting affix does DH darkness do anyhting?

spice surge
#

Yes

dapper bough
#

is blockades normal overtuned on normal with low players ?

#

It was easier in hm than in nm i swear lol

#

or whatever the boss before jaina is called

oak inlet
#

Just to pick up on that opulence question re gems, I took opal on my first run. On my second run I decided to take emerald (do more damage if you stand still capping at 30% increased damage). I did not move a single time in phase 2 and I absolutely crushed the meters.

regal tundra
#

@dapper bough it definitely seems harder on NM for whatever reason. Low number of players also means harder soaks since a bigger portion of your raid will need to move

dapper bough
#

yeah... the adds have way too much hp it seems on normal ... and they teleport

dark crag
#

Fast kill favors emerald, many add waves favor opal

humble crane
#

Anyone know if its still possible to cloak stacks of the iceblock before it resets <5 seconds on Jaina, or did they fix it? I tried to do it all last night on our heroic kill but never seemed to get to < 8 seconds before it passively reset.

spice surge
#

Cloak does not remove stacks of the iceblock thing on jaina no

humble crane
#

I know it doesnt remove them, but before yesterday rogues were timing cloak to avoid the buff resetting passively when it was about to time out.

#

So when the debuff was at < 5 seconds, you could cloak and not get reapplication, the debuff would wear off

#

Not sure if they fixed it since though

glossy kestrel
#

has anyone had issues with their ruby user dying on p2? i can't see why there's a need for a second ruby, except to help the adds die at the same time. or you could just make your melee group heavier than ranged group, knowing that ranged will catch up in final room when there's a ruby on the construct

dapper bough
#

because if you have only one ruby guy and he needs to move because of the gold thingy... you're fucked, I guess

junior aurora
#

rogues can at least shadowstep back, though if you get multiple pools in a row then its rough

fleet whale
#

so i got the mekka trinket yesterday, and it appears to sim well for me. Do you try to delay certain cds to get the most benefit on the highest stack, or do you just use everything on cd regardless?

royal lantern
#

its pretty hard too do plans with that trinket cus it builds and drops stacks even outside of combat

#

sucks when you pull and its at 2 going down

fleet whale
#

i just hope the trinket is as good as my sims says, my 375 dice and mekk trink sim the highest for me

royal lantern
#

right now i just use it at max stacks or when its dropping and a cd window just came up at 5 too hold it longer

sturdy python
#

As long as you use the on use properly it should be

royal lantern
#

probably not the best way, but idk

fleet whale
#

i think the ideal way would be to activate at the last second you have 6 stacks

#

i'm gonna miss lion's guile though

royal lantern
#

does that matter? i thought the timer just stops

#

wich means you still have the full timer of the current buff

fleet whale
#

i thought it might reset

royal lantern
#

like i said, not sure about it cus the trinket is a bit weird

#

and i would prefer that it doesnt build and drop all the time

fleet whale
#

it's sort of like incanter's flow

#

and who knows, maybe some one will make a quick guide on how to use it, but it's probably just as simple as using it on 6 stacks when you can :/

royal lantern
#

well, incanters flow is only in combqat if im right(?) and always gives you a bonus, and like i said, its annyoing when you start a pulltimer and the stacks are at 3-4 dropping, cus then you pull at 1-2 stacks and have no trinket at all after a few sec

weak creek
#

do you guys pool your energy till something comes up like tb (obv not capping on energy) or do you try to keep refreshing EP as soon as it drops

wide bolt
#

From my understanding you dont really track EP and more so bother with maintaining envenom until it falls off and you cant immediately hit it again. Then you pool until around 150 energy and envenom > mut til 4/5 cp > envenom > repeat until energy starved

#

Assuming things like TB dont come up or you dont need to refresh rupture

unkempt solstice
#

Do we need a 10 key this week, or does it cap at 6?

wide bolt
#

Rewards from end of dungeon cap at 6 but weekly is still 10

spice surge
#

10 for weekly rewards

heady raven
#

what was the consensus on emerald vs opal?

#

for op

spice surge
#

!opal

#

Awww not in yet, but if you're on normal or a good geared hc then emerald

#

Otherwise opal

desert vault
#

Do the gems spawn in random spots or same every time? Only had a couple pulls on heroic cause I've been sick all week.

royal lantern
#

always the same

desert vault
#

Ok. I need to unfortunately pug a kill tonight I supposed. Try to get them sweet daggers.

#

Need a stupid shoulder as well. Got head from first boss and really nice 400 chest from world pvp reward. Jadefire gave up nothing for me though.

rustic ether
#

first boss head is really good for aoe and ST right?

#

i havent really looked into anyhting other than m+ traits lmfao

royal lantern
#

its bis for raids right now

#

same with shoulders from 2nd boss

rustic ether
#

ho boy time to pug

royal lantern
#

(or 3rd if you play the wrong faction)

rustic ether
#

uh whats the wrong faction

heady raven
#

does horde get the pvp 400 piece next week?

royal lantern
#

nope

#

they lower it too 385

heady raven
#

game is rigged

royal lantern
#

and there need too be more alliance then horde in WM for that anyway

#

wich is impossible in world of hordecraft at this point

spice surge
#

Horde isnt gonna get the piece

pastel wasp
#

naww

dull osprey
#

Why is Fathoms STILL so op.... a 30ilvl upgrade is still under simming

pastel wasp
#

thats odd

#

it shouldnt be simming that high anymore

dull osprey
#

the +30 beats in on aoe sims

rustic ether
#

what are your trinkets? fathoms is garbage for most trinkets

#

compared to*

silver quiver
#

Can you log a fight against a dummy? I just started and ended a log on fighting a dummy but it doesn't seem to upload

dull osprey
#

@rustic ether I have Construct overcharger and fathoms. Just got a 385 tortollan trinket that has more agil and gives crit

#

whoops, wrong one

#

Is my sim wrong or am I stuck with fathoms forever? lol

sturdy python
#

Fathoms beats most trinkets outside of a few at a high levels, especially in St. That's close enough that the tooth would probably be better in aoe at least

dull osprey
#

Its definitely simming higher in aoe...

#

Feels bad lol

rustic ether
#

get 385 trinkets and that shouldnt be an issue unless theyre bottom tier

dull osprey
#

Are there m+ trinkets that beat it?

sturdy python
#

Dice, spyglass, GCB, plume can

drifting cloud
#

at 400 almost every m+ trinket will beat it

dull osprey

Sick... I'll start farming

crown dropped, i had the TC head, so i gave it away. the guy who won the roll, replaced it with the WQ head. fml i'll just keep it next time if you're going to roll on a garbage item just for 10 levels

DitB if you're a savant will compete with Ancients' Bulwark

Same as CoA.

lone junco
#

@primal gazelle were we expecting nerfs?

spice surge
#

Not really, but it wouldnt be unreasonable

primal gazelle
#

you never know what blizz does

#

like the sub nerfs hahahha

sturdy python
#

Always expect nerfs

civic palm
#

?

#

What?

primal gazelle
#

The First Dance haste reduced by 40%.

civic palm
primal gazelle
#

goodbye sub

civic palm
#

If you think THAT is OK.

#

Fuck off.

spice surge
#

^

primal gazelle
#

its comical at this point

#

to nerf the most underplayed spec over and over again

#

every other month

#

lmao

lone junco
#

is it underplayed in progression raiding?

#

or just general population

spice surge
#

Everywhere

sturdy python
#

Its underplayred everywhere lol

lone junco
#

and you cant compare it to any class with a tank or heal offspec

sturdy python
#

YEs TFD needed nerfed, should have had other buffs though

primal gazelle
#

if you look at the # of logs by sub rogues, its literally the least played spec in the game

civic palm
#

Who fucking cares if it's underplayed, the trait is broken.

primal gazelle
#

the trait itself is broken yes, but the class isnt

#

they dont do anything amazing

civic palm
#

Not anymore they made sure of that :3

spice surge
#

Not rogue related but my god this this Blur of Talons effectiveness reduced by 33%. take way too long

#

Cya survival

civic palm
#

Other than being the best ST Rogue spec, sure.

#

They didn't do anything amazing.

primal gazelle
#

on a boss that doesnt move for 5 minutes

#

sure

civic palm
#

or for most if not all of Normal and Heroic, honestly.

#

uRdpsHitBoss

#

and yeah BoT was dumb > _>

primal gazelle
#

what does that talent do

spice surge
#

Makes their 2 min cd last 1:30 and give a massive agility bonus

civic palm
#

Still very good it looks like.

Just more in line with everything else.

Yeah.

i thought none of the enh stuff was any good.

can I stay with you guys until they fix my spec?

civic palm
#

It is fixed.

#

TFD was broken.

#

Fixed.

rustic ether
#

no demon hunter nerfs surprises me

hollow stone
#

Or spriest

lone junco
#

anyway. "least played class" still bugging me. Not a heal offspec, not a tank offspec, not ranged. Grats = rogue. so yeah would make sense to be least played class. there are other roles to fill. and then Ranged.

Ill take my responses offline. thx.

hollow stone
#

I guess spriests deserve a chance at being strong

spice surge
#

Their aoe trait got nerfed by 35%

hollow stone
#

Ah. Perfect

thorny shore
#

guys, on pull, its a big dps loss, start with gar-gar-rup-vend-exs-etc instead of gar-rup-gar-vend-m-rup-exs-etc ?

lean coral
#

you want 2nd one for max rupture and garrote duration with exsang

quick ice
#

Don't know about big, but you sure lose out on exsang rupture time.

sturdy python
#

Yeah thats a fair loss, big or not theres no point to do it

civic palm
#

If anything it's actively doing something worse.

lone junco
#

grg v m r exs is ezpz. just do it properly. If you are snitching on our guild rogue that swears by ggr. just nod and remember that he is wrong.

wait, exs is good?

This isn't...
