I'd wait until I could choose the piece I want instead of random, but that's me.
@vestal wren hey right on man, thx for gettin the ball rollin cuz i forget things little things like that all the damn time
I've never really played assa and tryna get into it, where is SS ranked on traits? Ravenholdt puts it very high up but bloodmallet only does with sub
Also where do you rate EB for m+ as that's the main thing that I do
For m+?
yes m+
Anyone here able to tell me if NE shadowmeld will work during boss fights to get re-stealth for SS garrotes?
doesnt work
You get the empowered garrote, but not the subt bonus
Alright so I won't be able to get multiple of them out then that kinda sucks
In BoD, is it only worth taking MA if u have 3 DD traits? I found myself struggling hard conclave and the beginning of King Rastakhan..towards the end I catch back up. Sims show MA is highest for patchwork, but the movements and other targets are making a little harder
Does double dose stack ?
So woulld bloodmallet or hero damage be considered more accurate?
or is it pointless having it on 2 pieces of armour
Same
double dose is amazing to stack
Ill pass it on cheers
@solid nova meanwhile is icyveins/wowhead ok for guides?
Does NP stack?
anyone got a macro so i dont have to swap toxic blade and exsang all the time?
π
Like 2017?
yea
Yeah i remember π
π

Decent
Yeah definitely mate
like on a +15-18 level?

Sim it, I guess
3dd MA is out there, but depends on what else you've got from your top gear sim
ST sim vs actual raid fight, should be taken with a pinch of salt when considering changes
also can rogue get nerfed or do blizz not care about m+ balance
Can they, sure. Will they? Who knows mate
@buoyant flicker
/cast [talent:6/2] Toxic Blade; [talent:6/3] Exsanguinate
I'd be surprised if outlaw doesnt get addressed
I mean they let rogue thru legion without gutting them
@civic palm how do u adjust the #showtooltip part of that?
Just have it say #showtooltip, nothing weird
You just leave it as #showtooltip
kk
Is assa last when it comes for rogue in m+?
No
Aight
It's "Melee" imo
I miss nightstalker being the go to talent in stealth row.. miss my free stealth movement speed
Oh yeah btw does NP stack well?
no
Is a second stack still good enough to be better than SoB?
in ST?
In general, m+
sob for m+, np for st
And just stack as many EB as possible?
ideally 3 EB
can someone enlighten me as to what EB is?
ah
I gotchu
ty
the difference between 3 eb and 2 eb is pretty big imo
difference between doing 60k to reaping and 100k+
i downgraded my 415 ss piece to use a 385 piece with Eb on it just to triple stack
Which is the BiS chest for assa, m+ wise?
Prob the ss eb one. There's guides in announcements for all the available az gear

Ah didn't know, thanks
Richard is da man
lol
Thanks π
Plumage or Galecallers Boon for burst dps? 2nd trinket would always be Dice
which stone do you take by Opulence? opal?
Gcb and dice i believe are bis (if everything is equal ilvl, etc). But you need to sim em to see
Yeah id say GCB>Plum if same item level
If youre talking pure burst, gcb def better because of how it interacts with ss
Erm, xsang ss
exsang isnt really a thing this tier anymore imo
Has any1 tried hidden blades now in M+ with 3x EB?
exsang is bae
Is using Lazer barrage and the other uldir trait still decent for going into dazar? Or should I replace those with other generic ones?
sim yourseeelf
Exsang and toxic blade are both things lol depends on if you have stacks of SS or not for me toxic blade comes ahead by 5 dps on my sims
does evasion work on the monk mechanic on jadefire?
How do u all sim yourself for BoD? Cleave add/patch work, etc
There's not an accurate way to sim for specific boss fights. You just need to sim ST and apply raid knowledge to determine any close simming talents and other factors that might be effected by cleave/aoe situations
where to find the new Raid bis azerite gear list
!ct
There is no specific week or affix that makes one or the other more viable.
CT vs PB is mainly down to your group, the dungeon itself and your pull sizes, with PB naturally having an edge in boss fights.
It's mainly the combination of affixes and dungeons that favour one or the other. High Tyr KR/Temple favour PB in general, due to low pulls and harder bosses.
In terms of Exsang vs TB; Exsang wins since it works well with SS traits and it's only 1 global on your priority target for some burst damage and extra energy.
TB usually locks you to that target to gain the most out of it.
nvm check pins π
TB locks you to a target? wut
Yes?
hm i didnt realize that
if you want to do max dmg it does
Well why TB and then change target?
i mean yeah you want to attack the target that you used TB on xD
Wasted TB
not physically locking u tho
on sims
we talkin bout toxic blade right
Tb and vend both do. If you are not a fan of being "locked" to a target, sin is not the spec for you
It debuffs the mob to make it take more nature dmg
Well if you TB and then change target, you've wasted your TB
It locks you
the more you know
it's just a small vendetta for nature dmg only
have anyboyd tried if monk air multi strike do nothing with evasion on
When youre up in the air??
on jadefire
why would it make a difference
im reatarded on spelling today
you need to face a target to dodge
idk cheeese
You dont need to dodge anything, you just face the one that is coming at you
No. Theres no cheese
even if you could dodge the strikes, dodge only works from front
therefore defeating the whole thing lol
And what famo said, cant dodge the one behind you that youre not facing even if it is a dodge-able mechanic
Living Action Potion hotfixed out βΉ
*all stun removal hotfixed out
And technically patched out since it was only after tues's patch :p
I have no issue doing the mechanic just though of evasion dodging most stuff ^^
Im the cheese lord and i still felt unclean using free actions for first kill
That was def not the design of the fight lol
my rl wanted everyone too buy a stack of them cus ''blizzard will not fix it lol''
well, now he wasted 50k, they always remove that stuff
Lol... we all sold ours after our kill cause "blizz will def fix this"
Thx for the gold
they dont want us too farm old stuff for current content(thank god for that)
Exactly. And yea, thank god
Imagine having to go back to mc or something for raid mats..

hmmm, triple double dose w/ MA and subt simming the same results w/ no SS:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/i2585K7acLFs7AWqCTopZD
I think I'll take 1 SS + subterfuge, since it's pretty nice in BOD
says only -.5% on a single target
what are the best azerite pieces you can drop from dungeons?
Yeah sounds like a plan
For head and chest

I thank you
4mins π€
I do default Richard
Default is 5?
I saw that too, richard, lol
Wtf I guess I changed it once on my pc and it never changed π€
Running again at 5
Sim it and check the apl @crude bay. Idk if that trinket is good for sin. But its very good for outlaw according to my OL guildie
It was 19.4 with both weapon enchants the same I fixed it let me see
I feel like I should run at least one NP over double TC ...
No dont double enchant
Tc > np unless the tc nerf was too much but i dont think it was
It's week 2
Right, I guess its pointless to really sweat too much
By end of tier i almost guarantee top logs will have 2-3 tc
and I suppose TC is better overall for aoe and st right?
Yea. Tc and dd are our strongest st traits as sin. Tc helps with cleave n aoe as well
Yeah, I guess its a nice balance with 2x TC, 2x DD, and 2x SS
Ss is not great for st. but it helps on those cleave fights
I just like having a build that is good for going back and forth from m+ and raid, too lazy to reforge constantly
My goal will be 3 dd, 2-3 tc, 0-1 ss or 0-1 np. Depending on drops
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
The problem is raid v m+ you want completely different traits now
Raid you want dd tc np. M+ you want ss eb sob
Right, but I don't push super high keys, my poor man's version of M+ will just be SS, TC and DD π
I actually got a pair of 400 shoulders with EB and SoB on it as well, so I can use that for m+
Nice
The Canonball trinket isn't the worst thing in the world for M+ right?
Friend said it does 2-3% of his overall, well he is like a 415 socketed so ... I got a 410 from my chest, might run with it some
Yea. Thats a good plan then given what you wanna do. Cannonball trinket is ehhh because it depends on the mobs/boss staying still
So its not the worst, but its far from the best
Oh fort weeks I'll run it in place of my GCB maybe
Sim it. It may be better than your alternative
See what it feels like
does the kimbul trinket scale with our mastery?
Yes. Just so you know how to do it (or that youre doing it right). Click to view full html report. Go to abilities. Look at the interval. The interval in this case is 90 sec (the trinket's cd). So it wants you to use on cd
Yeah, thats what i looked at
Perfect!
Can post it and someone may be able to look
Use opener from ravenholdt.net, cause you did only one garrote from stealth and you are playing with subterfuge
but everyone on warcraftlogs play subterfuge
Yes but it's not about subterfuge but it's about your opener
ok i check the opener
Also try to not refresh dots during TB window
You want to maximize 4+ Envenoms during TB
Like 2 or more Envenoms at 4CP are good, so pool a bit energy before TB comes on CD
TB? sorry
Toxic blade
ah got it
Uptimes are pretty good
ye thats not difficult <.<
Yo guys
I'm watching this Method rogue and he's letting his bleeds fall off many times in a single fight. I can understand letting a empowered bleed fall off to get the most of it but why would he let them fall off so often ?
Maybe focused on other things?
Ravenholdt.net suggests different and this is not the first rogue I see do this
guessing he is focusing a lot on staying alive.. dont see other reason
stay alive, dead boss
Do they actually fall off or is he waiting until right after they come off to reapply
Idk he doesn't seem like he's in danger a lot and I counted him letting bleeds fall off at least 3 times in a row
They are completely falling off
yeah no shit, theyre playing exsang
Then he's just messing up I suppose
Who are you watching?
Maybe method's rogues are just bad 
He already said the empowered ones are obvious, Ryler
Yeah obviously they're horrible 
Tbh, dont look at top tier prog raiders during prog because shit will not be ideal
Thats just how prog goes
Seriously though he's probably just focused on timers or something else
WF progress vs generic rotation
Sorry, using phone app and I stuck at linking things with it
Theres gonna be some variance π
Yea. Youre way overthinking it
Or on accepting they'll only be 2nd place
Honestly unless it's a dps race staying alive is more important than anything else.
Theres too many reasons for why he/she may be doing that to give you a definite answer
So if it's not a matter of staying alive( which I promise I will check ) what else would it be ?
dead rogue deal no damage
Ok
Could be that they need to stop dps for a mechanic to line up
Could be that he's doing a mechanic and cant maintain
no hes just overstating it
Could be that his coffee is ready and he went to get it
ive been watching yliajo and at most ive seen his bleeds be off for like 2 globals
Could just be misplay
That's a lot of seconds to me
Does he stream?
2 globals, boss wont die 
Maybe ask him why
Could be that the healing is intensive and its more beneficial to prio cv over maintaining bleeds
I read http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ but I have question to single rotation if I have 3 shrouded suffication and 3 echoing blades still mulltilet above fan of knives?
So for my own education , am I doing my rotation to its max potential if I'm refreshing bleeds at the proper moments said by the ravenholdt.net site ?
Yes
Yes
doubt all other dps are going 110% on dps either, they cant waste rez on dps
have to focus on stuff
The guy is just messing up rotation a bit, don't think too much on it
I'd be doing much worse than that I'm sure
Would you sit there afk for a couple global cooldowns to pool energy enough to be able to refresh bleeds and envenom after the elaborate planning buff from using ruptute ?
That's honestly what I do lol
Has no bearing on when you cast rupture, it's dynamic
any of this yeses was for my question? ^^
Clipping EP with envenom has simmed to be no dps increase
Sorry , my question was specifically , would you sit there pooling energy so that you can envenom AFTER EP from rupture falls off
Pool to refresh bleeds
Thanks Richard ^^
Maintaining full up time on bleeds is mandatory if you want to do a "perfect rotation". If this is what youre asking
is it only me that think Double Dose doing 2x more damage than Muitlate? thats dumb
good sin rogue youtubers?
Gotcha Applejuicce, that's what I was asking
no bleeds, no energy, feelsbadman
I have 3 dd, 2x 390 and 1x 400 and my dd is about 50% of my mut over the course of a fight, where are you getting 200% from??
Refreshing bleeds at proper moment above all costs ( which basically has caused me to get triggered from watching that Method rogue I mentioned lol)
thanks
am stupid its around 50% yes
but my point stand
a trait that buffs one our abilities does more than the abilitiy itself?
thats so dumb
No. I dont think 7-8% dps increase over 3 traits is unreasonable
Thats less than 3% dps per trait
have you seen warriors use 3x LoW.. that shit is much more
than DD
there are many traits like this
the whole system is fucked beyond anything i have ever seen
this Azerite shit is off
oof
I dont think you played early legion then
The system is fine. Not perfect. But its fine
lol, we can hope tier sets come back next exp
i did play legion
there is nothing NOTHING that does more damage than your abilities
Early legion*
no legndary no set bonus nothing
You trolling?
Yikes
Wait
Theres nothing that ever did more damage than your abilities
Is that what you mean?
no no no
there is nothing that buffed one of your spells but the buff did more damage than the spell it buffs
Bracers leggo for outlaw?
I dont even...
Pyro leggo for fire
As for sets maybe not that example but there were some that were ridiculous OP
am dumb then
The tomb mage set is one
arms ToS xd
that azerite and i know that was talking before than
but there was, just it didnt feel like it to me? or my frustration of the current rotation and class, makes it more apparent? and clouded my mind
probably
Probably mate π


bit of a noob question, is there any point in a fight where poisoned knife is worth it?
build combopoints if running away from mechanic.. if ur capping energy anyway
Very very rare occasions. The only one that comes to mind is you have rupt on main target and offtarget and you cant swap to offtarget to reapp dp so you toss a dagger to keep your vw tickin'
Oh damn, thats another one
so basically
avoid overcapping energy and applying poison from really far away
gotcha
for tyrannical weeks do you still want to run 3 echoing blades? It seems very worth it with reaping.
Probably
im sitting at 15% haste and i feel like its a little too slow, energy regen is slow, having to replace sub gear
hey guys, I have a question. is there a weakaura out there that helps track garotte, in terms of snapshotting and just keeping it up correctly?
oh, thanks dude
Anytime
i assume the one to use is the top one? for all specs?

and dont pandemic SS garottes
ye wait until it ticks off
i got mekkatorque's trinket today, and im already pissed about it. its so annoying to use
thats all, just had to share my pain
^my sims dont even want me to use SS anymore either, its awkward now.
SS >all
Yeah It was a 250 dps loss for me to take SS over the 3rd DD
sims show SS < by around 2%
Worth having SS for most fights because adds though so π€·π»ββοΈ
Waddya gunna do
would not say most is pad, maybe on hc some of it like first boss is full cheese
but on mythic it's different
@scenic birch Are you looking for tips on your log?
Openers not correct
Triple mutilating, finish on 4+
Not utilising Tb windows at all
Vanish window wasted
Massive amounts of downtime (far beyond whats expected)
Never do this
Over capping CPs
kk slowly π
Thats you should be opening
but sometimes its difficult if tank moves boss shitty, i think i loose a lot of dmg in this case
You're overcapping your combo points alot
guys, on opulence i am first until the adds come out.... then all aoe classes go over me... should i go with CT? it sucks
So overcap CP is the worst thing can happen?
So dot uptime and always do 2 evenoms in TB window is very important?
Okay π ty
Fok, get like 3 ruptures up, then priority envemon main target
after a 3 garrote opener
I am curious about vanishing after the 3 and tagging 3 more
with garrote
What is the average uptime for TC?
@solid nova what about fight like conclave with adds? I loose a lot of dmg if a siwtch on adds
@strange python 95%+
garrote 1 add, then garrote another and another rupture on the last, and maybe vanish 3 more garrotes on 3 more targets with rupture on last
On the majority of the fights
How do you get so many garrotes off?
oh SS
sub
if you dont have it this its diff
Currently running master ass
So i have a question
@solid nova How did you see the ingame lagg? We talked about this the other day. I have slowed down my botton smashing alot. I still overcap some CPs but not nearly as many
i was looking at wowanalyzer and i realize i waste a shit ton of combo points, is it better to use a 4 combo point envenom than wasting a combo point and maybe more for a 5 point one?
okay
@strange python
yeah it was like "you used 181 combo points out of 204 " and im like yikes what the fuck
yeah
@strange python you can check your fight logs and see hp graphs
so many envenoms wasted
It's less effective to overcap 1 CP than it is getting off a 4 CP finisher
It's the same for all specs iirc
thanks for the help
Thanks Noobe
when i have to use ensanguinate?
Should I pool energy pre-TB to maximize the envenoms during it? With elaborate planning, I feel like it's probably all a wash (pooling/spiking reduces EP uptime)
And should I hold vanish & my 1.5m CD Trinket 30s to align with the 2min Vendetta CD?
Yes and yes
@rigid mango small addition to what you were told, if you ever run deeper strategem, you will always be using finishers at 5+
well yeah, I thought that was pretty obv with what I said after
What's the best gem to get on opulence?
Opal
on HC its prob worth to take emerald and pray you dont get liquid
Not enough adds spawn to warrant opal tbh
But mythic def opal
yeah thats what i though. since for example i didnt move a single step after we got to p2
but its just hc tho, havent killed him on mythic yet
@solid nova totally borked my opal vanish last night. I vanished at 2stack on contact, hoping that boss would be alive 2 mins later. he was not.
heroic will probably have 2 vanishes, but normy, gonna have to hold until 20x .

Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
Raid dps being absolute units
Anyway see you in 6 hours, gotta get the standard rest in
zzz
I'm around a good 12-18hrs a day, pick more appropriate time slots 
@rigid mango sorry wrong person π
Should I delay my Exsang to wait for Galecallers every time or should I just be using it on CD mainly?
Xsang is dead anyway. Long live tb
I got 3 SS D:< I can't quit now!
I gotta learn how to play TB/MA again sometime, I avoided that shit all through Uldir.
so the way is now DD 3x 1 or two SS for qol and then TB?
Right now its use what you got and sim for top dps with what you got
End of tier will likely be 3dd, 2-3 tc, 0-1 np. No ss
Except for cleave bosses
And even then..
got the Head piece from Champs on myth π
Dat big boi bis for all tier. Gratz!
thanks π
woops i dropped this mb guys
Not that good
Grats!
i got a 400 dice and im happy shit lol
why is my mastery simming so high i feel i need more haste ( Pawn: v1: "Nylho - Assassination - Patchwerk (Raidbots)": Class=Rogue, Spec=Assassination, Agility=2.15, CritRating=2.24, HasteRating=2.24, MasteryRating=2.51, Versatility=2.16, Dps=10.90, OffHandDps=1.18 ) π€
@hasty marsh what talents
TB wants mastery
is it worth playing without shrouded for BoD?
On bosses where damage to more than one target matters
Most bosses, no, and some bosses yes
Exsanguinate is the talent to go atm right?
so do you still play subterfuge without shrouded? ma seems pretty hit or miss vs subterfuge seems pretty consistent
You'll have to sim yourself but for me MA has been a few fractions of a percent higher
When I don't have SS
My MA seems like 400 dps higher
but whenever i play with it, seems really hit or miss
if you dont get double envenom crit its seems really shitty
Or if mut doesn't crit
Try doing vanish TB mutilate envenom for a lower variance MA window
Should i be equipping an Agi gem in one slot? I see a lot of rogues just using all Haste gems (TB spec)
@strange python usually agi Sims below secondaries for me, you'll have to sim yourself to be 100% sure but probably
I use raidbots and equip what it tells me is highest on light movement since no boss is patchwerk... chatting to some other rogues they said they read guides and go by that
does hero damage give a good indication about trinkets and powers or just sim every time?
Always just sim everything. For me, mastery is simming slightly ahead of haste, but other rogue in our guild is simming haste higher. Agi is lowest of all though, only higher than off hand dps
Personal Sims are the best. Herodamage is a good quick reference but it's Sims are done with a template which won't match you. Guides are the same
Hello, do you think like "one trick pony" (Playing only assa) you can be wanted in mythic guild and maybe do CE?
@honest onyx yes, especially if assa keeps performing as is has done in the past
Yes assassins rogue doign pretty well in mythic. Try tp maximise combat too for opulence could be good
Regardless of what spec you play, as long as you are good and show up "CE guilds" would want you
@manic veldt are the adds actually relevant on mythic
Doesnt matter what spec or class you play
Well, what about case assa os bottom tier spec literally but you perform on it better than on other specs cuz you dont lkke them playing?
What level do you raid at
I told, mythic maybe CE
Doesnt matter
If you're asking it probably doesn't matter
What do you have against the other specs though
A 99 percentile low tier spec is most of the time better than a 44 percentile fotm reroller
Since i just hate those cases where rl force ppl other spec only cuz its broken on some boss (eg. Sub amd Zul)
Just play what you enjoy
Why wouldn't you want to play sub for something like zuul though
Then dont play in a guild that forces you?
And does guilds like that exists? Since in mythic ppl tend to fotm reroll..
Plenty
? yes?
sub on zul is like pretty niche scenario but ok
if you didnt go sub on zul you were actively holding your guild back
As long as you're doing mechanics and doing decent damage, its fine
Welly sub on zul scenarii is one of cases where ppl can tell you, go sib or benched for example
And there is plenty of guilds like dat...
yeah and it would have been deserved? even if your guild was rank 1k or whatever
we had people on 360 rogue alts for zul
this isnt a "this class does 10-20% more dmg scenario", sub rogue would double anyone else there
Just be good enough relative to whatever Guild you are in that your spec doesn't matter
So basically playinf class for 1 spec is not worth if you wanna mythic?
I played outlaw for pretty much every boss in uldir
you can definetly play a class for 1 spec
jsut dont use mythic zul as an example
because its a really bad one
So you say if you get benched cuz on m zul you wannna play assa instead of sub is bad example. But this is one of situations where ppl force you to play smthg else.
because on zul a sub rogue was worth 2 dpsers? whats so hard to udnerstand here
Because on other bosses, you'd do 10% more damage as another specc
On zul you would do 100%+ more
Host and Zul are different. "Playing Sub" is different than having a mastery set and spamming fok evisc. over and over.
For the current raid all speccs are fine for all bosses
Fk blizzard.. So now that Sub is completly decapitated, what does one play. Outlaw or Sin? Which one is more fun?
Made a rogue only to play Sub.. fml
I hear SP is a monster
any why would you say Fk blizzard. Wow is better than the game you made. its their fucking game anyway. if you dont like it, dont play.
but nerds love to complain about shit ayy.
is there any reason i see people on logs stacking 2/3 nothing personal traits even though they could get 2/3 treacherous or double dose instead?
Quick question regarding master assassin - After you vendetta toxic blade mutilate vanish envenom, do you try to get off as many envenoms off as possible during toxic blade, or is it best to be energy efficient / more elaborate planning uptime
doubt
@waxen vine dont worry about ep uptime during your 3 sec MA window. just use 3 skills. pref env mut env.
but MA is not 100% crit..
@buoyant kraken Could they have chosen that on the gear that they have? (not NP)
@buoyant kraken maybe they didnt want the TC penalty. might try asking them.
is there a guide to BOD as a sin rogue?
might be
For mechanics and whatnot?
yes
This is what @gusty kestrel has written up so far - http://www.ravenholdt.net/battle-for-dazaralor-a-rogue-dps-guide/
ty
i have the champions helmet, jadefire shoulders and mekka chest for 3x dd 1x NP and 2x Treacherous, but i even tho i sim like 600 dps higher with this and MA, i feel like 1 shrouded + subterfuge is pulling ahead even on ST
like i feel the burst is stronger with a shrouded than MA, which i suppose it shouldnt
Well you should stop feeling like something might be pulling ahead and go see if it does.
@buoyant kraken you will feel like u are god when u use Mut-mut-vendetta-tb-vanish-envenom-mut-envenom-mut-envenom at the middle of the fight
with MA
Your DD will crit 20-30k, envenoms 50-65k
Im just not sure where i see MA really pulling ahead if it isnt supposed to be in the opener
talking ST here
and u see, talking ST, subt+SS pulling ahead at the middle of the fight, i mean, better than a crit env burst?
ok, i am prepared for a kicking for asking this BUT.... does it matter which weapon you put your enchants on?
:3
is it important to envenom to keep elaborate planning up? or just focus on envenom buff uptime
@lone junco I say whatever I want to say? And so you think its justified to nerf sub cuz of zul which hurts sub in m+ and then nerf them more cause they prob do some weird stuff in pvp? which then hurts then in PVE.. And they never been on top of the logs.. If you dont got anything wise to say then please, say nothing.. You didnt answer anything to what I asked. Right.. Forgot to add "ayy".. Jeez ppl theese days.
!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.
@elfin quiver
If you dont got anything wise to say then please, say nothing..
If this were actually a thing then no one would be speaking.
@buoyant kraken ss + subt feels really good, but if it isn't simmimg or performing better than it's whatever. Also you gotta consider that ss is only valueable one every two minutes where's DD is litterally all fight. MA being in a shorter window also means that its not as big a deal if you don't keep EP up all the time during your empowered dots if you have to do a mechanic or something
@honest vessel I wouldn't worry too much about either envenom uptime or EP uptime - both of those will come naturally from doing the rotation well, but you shouldn't really do anything special with those things in mind
back in legion you would hold envenom's to save energy by getting the most uptime per cast, is this no longer useful?
is our energy gain just that good passively?
squeeze as many 4-5 cp envenoms into the toxic blades is what i've been trying
while keeping garrote and rupture up
2 envenoms into the Toxic Blades
and dont delay TB.
and dont drop bleeds.
and dont run out of your GCB circle like an idiot you should have cloaked that shit.
lol
its been a while. feels good to be back at it.
aite. i need some halp. any tips on getting better? well besides dying in some of the encounters (didnt know the fights, but i guess i know now). latest logs. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/PYQVBrAkJx1RXLw4 any advice much appreciated.
π @lone junco π
β€
Instead of scowering through your logs is there one you feel you did well on but the results showed otherwise? @neon thunder
and don't say "all of them" because that will get you a lashing.
i only like reviewing ST logs. Weird fights are weird
i dunno why im doing so poor on opulence tho i felt i played aite
and as for ST, grong
Is that uhh...
i thought i was doing good, then flopped off hard
wooops for opulence yes
Just suck less and do better
@neon thunder opulence really has to do with Trash cleave. and also banging out your vanish at the 40% buff point.
K I D D I N G
Yeah, max cheese...
My ST boss dmg was pretty high, but I didnt do shit on the trash.
use our CDs well in the tunnels.
Just make sure you have everything you can for the +40% point.
or if things are dying gigaFast, the 20% point.
right. dont be dumb like me and vanish at 4% thinking it would be back up at 40%. cause boss was dead.
aite, i sent that to outlaw, and ill take that into account.
At the 18% buff I busted my vendetta cause I thought we were lusting there
the TTD timer is way skewed
I got cucked lol
any tips on Grong? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/PYQVBrAkJx1RXLw4#fight=11
Still got like 93 parae or some shit but yeah could've been way higher
Looks like ur second vendetta isn't synced with vanish
I'm on mobile so I can't confirm
Yeah the timing is whack due to the VEND early on the Vanish being at the refresh point.
Looks like there was ~20 seconds between them being in sync, just wait.
Also really bad kill time
Like half way between burst windows
Also idk if you did it or not but for the second vanish, garroting boss, running to the add if it's close then stepping back to boss for your three garrote window
Since you're using Shrouded Suffocation you want as many of those ticks under Vendetta as possible.
If you were doing DD/ENV/etc. you could just make sure that your Vanish/MA window falls within Vendetta.
i usually play exang but TB started to sim better. and i got confused how to do the rotation for the second vendetta vanish, cuz when i played exsang, i tend to ugh, refresh dots, vendetta, exsang, then use vanish g g. not sure if that is ideal but its just been soething i have been doing and also if now its TB how does the rotation look when i want to line up vend with vanish?
same ish. I was going to start playing 2ss 2dd subterfuge tb. and its a wonky open
@civic palm for the second screenshot do you mean why i didnt start attacking til 4seconds in or the opener is off?
Question - im switching from boon + exsanguinate to boon + toxic blade. SHould I be lining up boon with toxic blade at all or just when i am refreshing rupture and garrotte?
@neon thunder Yeah either that or the log is weird/etc.
hmmm. i thought that was the opener for subterfuge and tb, as for why i didnt attack, i was alt tabbed expecting them to do a countdown but they just piulled lol
Yeah the opener is fine, just the time before activity looked weird π
aaah okay
Sometimes the website doesn't sync logs correctly or the upload is weird or the page doesn't render the timeline right, so it's best to just ask.
how to lineup vend and vanish with TB? vend vanish G R G? TB?
Worry about lining up Vend+Vanish first, TB will fit where it fits.
okay
Should vanish be held for vendetta window or used on cd?
Hold for vendetta
After the second set they line up every time
Unless your fight ends somewhere between vanish and vendetta CDs of course but thats super specific
Newish to TB, do you literally "use it on cooldown", or do you prep for it with CP and refreshing bleeds first? (2x Double Dose if that matters)
Also, would you delay one for Vendetta or no?
Fuck ive been using vanish on cd this whole time
You shouldnt hold it, too much holding and you lose a cast over a fight
You can prep before it cokmes off CD
And no, you could delay vendetta for a small window for TB but chances are its not necessary since TB is such a small CD
Alright ty. Been having an issue w/ the bleeds sometimes dropping off but getting a full 4-5 CP Rupture (and the energy back) would lose like 6s or more. I assume using TB on cd is more important though.
Def dont want bleeds falling off. That hurets a lot
Which I try not to let them but I feel like sometimes I have to sacrifice a lot of energy/time refreshing, or overlapping a bit on the bleeds by doing them way earlier
@lone junco utility CDs or not?
OI!
lol same
cause I never look over at my cd timer
Ok, they might be nice. I have been waiting on trix. and sprint and frint and step this week.
I have a bink sound for M4D ready btw. really helps with outlaw RT spamming.
bink bink bink bink bink
if it ever became a sin talent
my 5cp/6cp was a shotgun cock and Mark was a bink.
Bink crunch bink crunch
my WA crashed in oct and never replaced it. but it was nice when i was learning rogue.
was really cool during Dreadblades.
@lone junco I saw that > _>
i changed my mind.
btw, the yellow EMP floats around out of combat
i just dont care
Yeah the tracker requires an update to update.
If you feint or do almost anything it checks and goes away.
Just an annoying little thing
@untold current don't pop tb and then put your bleeds up. Refresh your bleeds right before tb's cd is up if they will fall off during the window, then tb and get as many envenoms off as possible
Obv 4cp+ envenoms tho
So should be be aiming for 100% uptime on envenom, or as close to it as we can? Or do we pool our energy for busts as priority?
env uptime is prob 62*-68%
for second vanish/TB and SS -> vanish first or vendetta first?
i know you hold the vendetta cd for vanish to come up
Wow analyzer was rating me low for about a 60% uptime on envenom
Just wanted some human feedback
wowanalyzer isn't really up to date for sin
Anyone know if the same dagger is better in 380 w/ a socket, or 385 no socket? Can't really sim it since I'm trying to figure it out for pvp and crit isn't as good.
sockets are huge
Sim it
esp for offhand.
mainhand wep dmg matters.
offhand wep is garbage. stat stick. so sockets are worth like 25 ilvl
use Raidbots. to test mainhand swaps.
Yeah its tough to sim since in pvp you want Haste > Mastery, but simming stays you want crit which isn't correct. Can't sim for pvp sadly
What's your best min max move?
stab, then slice
hey few questions about m+
im running with crimson tempest
when is it worth to crimson tempest vs multidot
like if its 3 adds, is it worth multidotting everything then crimson tempesting
and at what point is it worth spamming shuriken/CT like how many adds
on 2 targets you should maintain the CT bleed as a lower priority than ruptures
on 3+ targets you should maintain the CT bleed as a higher priority than ruptures (so first finisher should be CT)
on like 9+ targets you can spam CT, maintaining only enough bleeds to never miss a global from energy starvation
What are you guys doing with cooldowns on the opener for mythic Grong?
Why ravenholdt said, and i see some people on log with 2-3 personal traits
usually means they don't have a better choice, or don;t understand that part doesn't stack
just did freehold 11 and got a 400 dice at the end π
probably not gonna replace it for a while
whacha mean? incoming 425 socketed leech dice next run
my 400 dice had leech on it
mine was base =[
got 3x 420 items yday
1 is actually 425
actually lucky af
crit versa crit haste and haste versa stats 
on mythic grong, is there way to see who is getting targeted by the missile?
e z p z
I was about to be like... I think mine was from something like that as well...
lemme link it.
was 0.6% over my 355 socket
sockerPOWER
little wings come out
Yeah but ain't that off-color a bit?
The shoulders are kinda redish/purple.
sure
this bird kit is ok
Hey all I am still pretty new to rogue. I played some sin and outlaw. I ran some sims last night for both, they came very close for st but outlaw was 4K higher in dungeon slice, with a worst mainhand. Is that normal? Or am I not optimizing properly? Thanks in advance
Do the drood. Icecrown green set, matching skirt, antlers. @lone junco
Outlaw has nice AoE buttons.
Yeah but not that helmet, +dress, +antlers.
isnt that icecrown?
Also there's a green/red version.
So outlaw should sim higher for aoe?
Mmm, poor dress.
i dont do xmog
There's one from Icecrown.
summer flame red ones are nice
i still like the one from naxx.
yee, or the ones from uhhh Black Temple/Hyjal
There are three new ones from BfA that have fur tops that are nice, red/green/grey versions.
dreadlord deciet looks like a locust beetle or something
=\
u need echoing blades for reaping, correct?
can u discuss transmog shit in the channel for it?
Nope.
as soon as there is a sin question
I feel like every other class is blowing me outta the water due to AOE. They all 29k and Im sitting 20k with 2 SS and a DD
Correct.
i swoped 3 times between channel because is was searching input why my dps is not found
Those aren't very strong on-demand AoE traits.
seli was holding 29k overall against a dh at 34k
I guess AOE burst is kinda reigning king atm
Yeah but after a certain number of mobs that number does nothing for EB.
You're at the crit trigger cap quickly.
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
yea its insane. Before patch I was usually top dps with 2 SS and 1 DD, but now im a far 2nd and maybe 3rd. This reaping man. forcing me to go Echo
he did shift to TB/PB
EX is gigaShit this season.
idk. maybe the Twist helped with his DP fok dmg.
i didnt look at the details of overall though.
Well it should have, and since he's not playing Scent there RUP isn't of huge importance.
Especially since things don't live.
π¦ i keep getting assigned to the red gem on opulence, rip me
in other news
PBOMB on Opulence @ 40% with MA feels like Legion again... a little bit.
MA?
cool
@scenic birch the real question though. what is that weapon mog?
its hellfire citadel mythic dagger
new mog mission. tyty
Wow, German must be a nightmare for UI programmers
Agility, Agilidad, AgilitΓ©, AgilitΓ ----> Beweglichkeit
lmao
couldnt have scuffed my opener any more, and its the pull we kill it
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
kms
Lul
pressed my vendetta macro inside global so it didnt trigger
looking at some top logs see some scuffed vanish/vendetta usage but that's likely due to not knowing fight lenght for sure
not a big difference I guess.
yep did many vendetta just before add spawned.. learned later lol
hey guys is rogue in a good spot atm to get a spot in a good guild? around top 500-1000?
or are the rosters to big at the moment with melees.
Lol
Be a semi competent player and you'll get a spot 500-1000
or is the chance higher as lock? cuz im range? my characters close together.
rogue seems pretty good in m+ this season, did 27k overall in freehold 11. Beat fury warrior by 3k and frost mage by 10k π
https://i.imgur.com/n8eaFex.png Is this the optimal burst window rotation
Rogue is always good in M+
frost mage 17k overall seems pretty low though
looks like overwrite emp garrote there after the rupture
this is why there is 2 garrote casts + finisher
assuming that's on the same target
Hey, so I've switched from Sub to Assa yesterday, and in Uldir I played Tank. So sorry for the noobie questions, but I did not find my answer in the guide.
-
Ravenholdt and other guides recommend Poison Bomb for M+, but I've still seen people talk about Crimson Tempest in the past. When is CT useful, if ever?
-
So in Legion and now, it seems a good idea to keep up bleeds and poisons on two targets as well, but for fights like the Monk-Mage duo or the Council of the Chosen in BoD, when targets might stand quite a bit apart from each other, should I still try to keep Bleeds / Poisons on them too?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if the questions are really stupid.
!ct
There is no specific week or affix that makes one or the other more viable.
CT vs PB is mainly down to your group, the dungeon itself and your pull sizes, with PB naturally having an edge in boss fights.
It's mainly the combination of affixes and dungeons that favour one or the other. High Tyr KR/Temple favour PB in general, due to low pulls and harder bosses.
In terms of Exsang vs TB; Exsang wins since it works well with SS traits and it's only 1 global on your priority target for some burst damage and extra energy.
TB usually locks you to that target to gain the most out of it.
oh sorry
!trinkets
If they are far better don't do this. On jadefire you can try but on conclave it's more difficult because logs don't look at dps done before boss heals to full HP. Of course you can dot for resources but only if they are close and you are sure it's worth
I am still fucking up the opener and capping CP. But a lot less now then before. Managed to get some orange yesterday:) yey
Thanks for all the tips :) still need to sort out world lagg / lagg comp. Anyone know how to do That?

I may have spilled monster over my keyboard when i got it haha
well i got it in hc yesterday
and my one was buggy so i played like half of the raid without traits on it (i fixed it with re-specing in the break)
i simmed it today, no traits vs. skilled is a diffrence of ~10% dps
Dont have the mythic helm,but got the gloves on ilvl420,so i dont complain
TC after the nerf isn't simming better than first NP, for me
@royal lantern got those 2 dw we will just get head next week
ew panda!
hei bois, simming for m+ is still 5x patchwerk 40 seconds ?
!m+
Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.
!m+
Use the fight style Dungeon Slice (Beta) for a M+ simulation on Raidbots.
π
i thought Dungeon Slice is crap. it says i need more haste but i generate my energy with the bleeds.
it sims for the whole dungeons not only packs
How are you able to tell if a trait is bugging out? I could tell with the reorigination array, but not with double dose, for example
it was visible to me bc. i played subtlety and inev (that extends symbols) did not work at all even tho i had it skilled
so it was easy for me to just open the log and look at the runtime of symbols (that was flat 10 sec bc. the traits didnt work)
Right that makes sense
Is there even a method to finding out if a non-buff trait is bugged?
logs
or target dummy, you can only use 1 azerite piece and see if you get the traits
Ohh i like that method. As for logs, I didnt know we could differentiate between 1 dd vs 2 dds
you could isolate it with some simple math
also respecing the piece fixed the issue for me, i guess its not a very frequent bug
maybe i was just unlucky, its usually quite noticable if you do significantly less damage
I always chalk it up to bad crits lmao
i just say, dont panic it might be a bug i run into that might only happen very rarely
There are legit times where i will get 11% env crit on a fight.. when i have 23% crit. I like your thought process better though
dungeon slice slightly overvalues st
it factors in st too, if you just want wights for aoe you need to run a diffrent fight script
π
if you run sth with bosses just dont forget to dissable stuff for the sim
is the fight script, feel free to modify to your liking
I find M+ hard to sim and instead just go for a stat set that applies to every situation. A sim is always nice but getting all the restealths, pulls, kiting (no GCB) and so on makes it, in my opinion, not good
I know the aim think of that
thats why you can make a custom fight script
its not easy but its sth to consider if you want to have a specific scenario covered
Yo where can i find tisumi's guide again?
I mean pulls/kiting/group playstyle will always be the limitations of generic m+ script
In the pins @cloud iris
Ah yea cheers
ππΌ
its also linked in the last #announcements
I guess you are correct, it makes sense. I just was so stuck at simming for M+ at the start and as soon as I went over to a more generic stat build it became better
