#

last time I checked ...depends on lenght of fight

#

M+ bosses -> Exs

#

Raid 5 min bosses - TB

polar bridge
#

Oh last question. If I'm at four combo points do I use finisher inside of elaborate planning window or get to 5th combo point.

buoyant coyote
#

go 4 so u dont overcap

#

4 or 5 is where u wanna use finisher with¨

polar bridge
#

Hmm ok. Seems like rng usually has me using 4 point finishers back to back on openers it feels weird.

sturdy python
#

Finish at 4, inside EP doesnt matter

#

At this time anyway

buoyant coyote
#

how exacly do I open with MA?

#

didnt play rogue in legion

spice surge
#

Its in the guide in the pins ^^

buoyant coyote
#

learn awhole new opener

#

.<

sturdy python
#

Some people still dont use it even if it sims better becayse they like Subt

#

Just giving you the thought to look at

buoyant coyote
#

its in que

#

Subf sims higher

#

so... ima go blood rite then cuz the traits i got is useless

spice surge
#

You didnt swap to the set without SS that simmed higher

buoyant coyote
#

im not a rich boi

spice surge
#

Just swap on raidbots

#

No need to swap ingame

buoyant coyote
#

uh....how do u switch traits on raidbots

spice surge
#

Go to the reforger, next to the guy where you buy weekly coins

buoyant coyote
#

I meant raid bots xd

spice surge
#

top gear is the easiest

bold trail
#

Just click on it? In top gear

buoyant coyote
#

oh like that

#

i only have 300k itterations cuz im a poor boi

#

So basicly. GET gud azerite items

#

So use the titan for random 400 to start with

#

scent is so low XD

#

i see now

sturdy python
#

Switch azerite to DD>Bloodrite and subt to MA on top gear

#

Not switch, sim both

buoyant coyote
#

Eh I dont wanna play with MA tbh, did some dummie testing and it feels wierd xD

#

might skip that DD on pelt for a SS just cuz it feels so smoother

rich linden
#

is it ever worth stacking SS?

#

(if thats the best trait on the gear)

royal lantern
#

its one of our best traits for m+, you want too stack it for that

sleek temple
#

what would be great traits to have for sin

#

for ST

royal lantern
#

double dose/nothing personal/covenant

sleek temple
#

is it the vend one and mut ?

spice surge
#

Herodamge.com has a good list where you can check out how good a trait is

sleek temple
#

ty ty

buoyant coyote
#

yepp my azerite armour is fucking shitteee

#

but i got 415 helmet that is bis 😄

#

kinda dumb how world bosses have best azerite tbh

rich linden
#

anyone know a great website/video showing the best opener?

civic palm
#

_>

buoyant coyote
#

just read the guide and pratice it

rich linden
#

forgot about pins

buoyant coyote
#

feels so wierd without SS 😒

rich linden
#

what does this mean: "no SS powers for toxic blade"

#

as in the damage from TB wont effect SS?

civic palm
#

more context

rich linden
#

under the pull part

buoyant coyote
#

SS = Shrouded Suffocation

rich linden
#

yeah

#

"No Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blade"

buoyant coyote
#

yea...this feels so odd...been playing with SS for like months!

buoyant kraken
#

so i sim about 130 dps higher with 3x dd and MA than i do with 2x dd 1x ss and subterfuge. How reliable is MA, and would it be more worth in the end to take a dps loss for subterfuge?

buoyant coyote
#

and now its really fucking wierd without it

#

wish I could reset my cd's during dummies somehow

ocean rampart
#

It's the rotation when you don't have SS traits while using TB talent @rich linden

buoyant coyote
#

is there a way to macro vendetta with galecaller?

rich linden
#

@ocean rampart So if I have 2 pieces with it, then i follow the opener that says one or more?

ocean rampart
#

Yes.

rich linden
#

Thank you!

sleek temple
#

is it good to stack nothing personal or just get one for the energy reg?

buoyant coyote
#

i would say do not stack that ^^

civic palm
#

Only 1 NP if you can.

buoyant coyote
#

might just sac some dps to get my SS xD

#

for the nicer opener

#

some haste item sims higher now

versed mica
#

Uhh, herodamage.com is suddenly saying that SS w/ subterfuge and exs is the best

#

But when I sim it SS is always the worst trait ever

#

ST I mean

civic palm
#

ever?

elder gulch
#

does kimbul work well for us?

#

or does it not increase the bleeed dmg?

civic palm
#

Mastery does not influence trinkets anymore (after the idiocy that happened during Legion).

buoyant coyote
#

for me it works well

hollow horizon
#

Hey, im kinda new at sin rogue and im noticing that my energy generation is quite low, do i need higher haste or is that just how sin rogues are?

warm harbor
#

For jade fire masters mythic better to save vendetta/vanish for first set of multi sided first buff or just pop on your opener?

royal lantern
#

@hollow horizon assassination is really slow, 2nd lowest APM in the game right now with frost dk, its pretty normal too have a few dead gcd's

#

it gets faster when you have higher haste etc....but not by a large ammount, its just pretty slow

#

except in aoe where you play on the gcd

buoyant coyote
#

bois

#

I managed to get this

#

abit better?

royal lantern
#

looks good imo

buoyant coyote
#

my 400 is just wank

hollow horizon
#

Okay, im getting kinda bored waiting for energy, would outlaw be better or is it too much of a dps loss?

buoyant coyote
#

I dont like this azerite at all tbh

royal lantern
#

outlaw is......a bit like dh, you spamm the same skill 10000x, but its fast

#

RIP ME

#

outlaw sim

hollow horizon
#

i do like the playstyle but everyone says i should play sin since it deals way more damage

royal lantern
#

sin sim

#

i dont wanna be a yathzee pirate

civic palm
#

IT'S NOT THAT YATZEE!!

buoyant coyote
#

Is it because of the ilvl it sims lower or wat?

royal lantern
#

nah

#

stats probably simply suck

buoyant coyote
royal lantern
#

24%crit 16%haste 25%mastery

#

my stats are simply not good for sin right now

tepid haven
buoyant coyote
#

my stats are so bad xD

#

need to get better azerite pieces due to 370 not being gud nufff

tepid haven
#

your azerite is not too bad but imho, but you need way more haste for raiding, for m+ it should be alright

zenith gust
#

My sims for m+ tell me to go with 20% haste. St sims tell me to go with 16%.

civic palm
#

hmm

lusty narwhal
#

Do you guys reckon running 3x DD - 2x TC and 1x NP for grong is better than 2x DD 1x SS 1x NP

#

Could probably pad more with an SS on the adds hey

steep obsidian
#

that aint pad

civic palm
#

add that needs to die

padding

#

_>

lusty narwhal
#

Lol I know they need to die, but Im asking if you reckon you could push out some more DPS by using those traits instead

#

for Logs

steep obsidian
#

well add dps is as important as boss dps on that fight

#

if its prog who gvies a fuck about your parse

#

do what you need to to get the boss dead

#

in all seriousness though you can go look at a bunch of logs to see how other rogues are using their cds on the fight t compare

#

i think the add spawn lines up well with vanish though

lusty narwhal
#

yeah they do, dead on basically

swift prism
#

yo wtf - Nothing Personal makes Vendetta break stealth

steep obsidian
#

lol that is good to know

lusty narwhal
#

Probably because of the damage compotent right lol

swift prism
#

yep

lusty narwhal
#

makes sense

quick ice
#

Same thing used to happen with the old vendetta gold trait in Legion too

swift prism
#

why do they do this to us

tepid haven
#

because fuck you

#

did you really think blizz tests any of the shit they spit via patches?

steep obsidian
#

im pretty sure it didn't happen with the aritfact trait in legion butt could be wrong

quick ice
#

I think they changed it so it didn't?

round roost
#

qq regarding the Mizerok SIN Group WA: how come i get a big giant "OI" flashing in white on my screen when i use it in M+ or Arena's? Anyone know?

onyx rock
#

Because you dont have your Poisons applied

round roost
#

already checked that - i do.

onyx rock
#

Hmm.. like Mizerok would say: O _O

quick ice
#

Oi should show up if you only have DP applied, I think?

swift prism
#

yo if I Exsang a 5CP Rupture, do I wait to reapply until the final tick hits, or do I refresh early?

quick ice
#

Do not refresh early

swift prism
#

figured

#

thanks spooce

civic palm
#

Correct the OI! and Poisons are two different poison checks.

round roost
#

right - i get the OI! even with poisons on. At the training dummies, the WA works flawlessly. In arena and dungeons, i get the OI and have to "pause addon" for it to go away.

#

I still get the CD timer, but the bleed tracker doesn't work.

civic palm
#

Sounds like random weirdness, nothing in there that excludes things from working due to instance/grouping, mostly all combat/notCombat stuff.

round roost
#

so looking through it, it looks like it does a check for "Crippled Poison"......in arena when i run wound, i wonder if thats what its triggering on?

civic palm
#

Correct, checks for DP will probably update that tomorrow, or in a moment.

#

Who knows.

#

Also those are the other way around but adding wounding poison would fix that ezpz.

round roost
#

gonna try disabling in this next arena and seeing if that works

#

ok so that didn't work - i had to delete both poison WA's for the message to go away......wierd

civic palm
#

I am updating it now, they're very weird now that I am remembering making them.

round roost
#

no worries - i'll redownload them tomorrow after i get out of these arenas. I just deleted them for now cause i reapply poisons (as habit) for arena.

civic palm
#

mhmmm

steep obsidian
#

you should charge people for support miz

civic palm
#

They still don't DM me like the instructions say > _>

steep obsidian
#

people will pay for a clean ui setup

#

just ask fragnance 😛

civic palm
#

They've tried to give me money already, don't want any of that.

steep obsidian
#

yeh

cold glade
#

I'm a night elf. when I cast garrote out of shadowmeld, I get the bonus combo point and bonus damage from Shrouded Suffocation, but not the bonus damage from subterfuge. Is this a bug?

civic palm
#

Intended.

cold glade
#

that's really weird. They both have the same wording, but one works differently?

civic palm
#

Shadowmeld gives access to stealth abilities, but doesn't put you in stealth, whereas Subterfuge is triggered by you leaving stealth.

#

They're just mechanically different.

#

You can re-enter stealth from Shadowmeld in dungeons outside of boss encounters though > _>

cold glade
#

ok, but the damage component from subterfuge doesn't trigger on leaving stealth

civic palm
#

Subterfuge requires Stealth to trigger.

cold glade
#

only the 3 seconds of stealthed abilties does

civic palm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cold glade
#

is this confirmed intended somewhere, or is that just your best guess?

civic palm
#

It works that way, until Blizzard says otherwise.

steep obsidian
#

if you got a free vanish there would be no other choice for rogue racials

#

having t at something that is cool but not stupid op is the way racials are meant to work

civic palm
#

if SUB/SS/EX end up the best talent/trait combo there's already no other option > _>"

steep obsidian
#

true

#

alliance though 🤢

civic palm
#

Y E A H W E L L

#

not uhh...

#

not a lot of gifs in there...

#

hmmm

swift prism
#

I'm playing a nelf assassin rogue right now - can confirm - Sub does not activate on Shadowmeld until you press "stealth" after melding. This does not work on any boss fights.

rancid bobcat
#

Do not support tenor integration with discord

steep obsidian
#

ahuh

rancid bobcat
#

Giphy is also bad but

#

It's not tenor

#

Tenor is only bad cause discord is forcing it

#

I wonder how much they're paying discord

#

I wonder what company is gonna buy in next

steep obsidian
#

twitter already using it i thought they used to use giphy but maybe i was wrong

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste

#

Hey been trying Sin lately

#

whats the go to rotation for AOE?

woeful citrus
#

nothing personal vs treacherous cov? i do arena as well.

#

Also have neither of each

brave gyro
#

In M+? With SS:

Garrote x3 (on different mobs) > CT
FoK > Ruptures (up to 3/4 I usually do)
FoK > Env (while keeping CT up) @shy dust

shy dust
#

Thanks!

brave gyro
#

On reapings I CT more than env

shy dust
#

wasnt sure how many targets to rupture

brave gyro
#

you get way overcapped on energy beyond 3/4

#

dont forget: rupture deals the same damage no matter if 1 cp or 5 cp - more cp change only the duration

#

so dont be afraid to throw some 2/3 cp ruptures

#

FoK only on 3+ targets

#

and no point to CT on 2 targets (do it on 3+)

#

if reaping is coming up, save vanish

#

so you can garrote 6 targets

raw tusk
#

Any tips for a new assasin rogue?

brave gyro
quick ice
#

read the guides, maintain your dots, make friends with an M+ tank who knows to not pull until you're out of combat

obsidian sierra
#

Does vendetta trait stack with all aspects of it?

#

Or just the dot

#

Just wondering if i should bonusroll on 1st boss mythic today or not since i already got pretty good 415 shoulders from azerite vendor with dd and vendetta trait on ut

#

Or is tc on 1st boss head on 2nd ring beside vendetta trait also good?

#

I just red it had a nerf

#

@shy dust for m+ (i play with 3 eb, 1ss , 1 scent) i open with 4 gerrote, 1 fok, 1 ct and after this i just use fok and rapture as a spender except ct is about to run out. I pulled between 70 minimum and 120k max dps on reaping waves

#

But its also important that your tank and all otherw uses kick and stuff to pull mobs as close as much together

junior seal
#

i think it's a pain loacating the high hp mobs in reaping wave's and garrot them, my other teammates wrreck the low hp in like 2 globals, not doing uber high keys yet thou.

#

might have to get some better enemy name plates , maby some thing if they have over 500k hp they a diffrent color , if thats possible

ruby idol
#

You can change nameplate colors based on name with most nameplate addons

#

For example for me

#

Lost Souls are purple, tormented souls are blue, and risen souls are red

junior seal
#

aha !

ruby idol
#

Lost souls are almost always the highest hp targets, theyre the smashy ones

junior seal
#

thats cool aswell wich one's you use ?

ruby idol
#

I use kui

junior seal
#

usiing elvui's own atm

ruby idol
#

P sure elvui has that functionality

junior seal
#

oki i have used that addon before, will look into it ty !

ruby idol
#

Just havent used them in a long time

junior seal
#

yeah should have.

ruby idol
#

helpful for explosives too, like next week explosive nameplates will all be orange for me

junior seal
#

😃

obsidian sierra
#

@ruby idol im sure u played outlaw whats your dps average on reapings?

ruby idol
#

Uh i guess it depends

#

I pay more attention to overall dungeon dps rather than pack to pack

#

But i guess anywhere from 60-200k depending on which reaping pack it is

obsidian sierra
#

Ah yeah i mean i just need smth to compare. For example overall im mostly always top as assa , over dhs booms mages . Im just wondering if assa is that good or my mates were just not the best in the keys

ruby idol
#

I mean

#

If youre using reaping wave dps to justify how strong a spec is

#

Youre actively not critically thinking

#

And i dont mean that as flame

obsidian sierra
#

Nah i just thought its one of the important aspects right now isnt it? I know boss dps and generall pack dps is also important

ruby idol
#

Id argue reaping waves are the least important part of every dungeon

#

Like obviously they need to die, but theyre super non threatening compared to basically any other pull

#

So sustained dmg is good to clear them efficiently but any sort of burst cds are usually better used on actual trash

#

But ya, thats why overall dmg is a better indicator imo than reaping waves

#

Dmg to lost and tormented souls is a good indicator also

obsidian sierra
#

Ok i see. Yeah i mean actually what i wanted to say is , is assa still as good as outlaw for mplus since i really often hear ppl say they want outlaw but my experience shows im still topping meters as assa

ruby idol
#

Both specs are fine

obsidian sierra
#

So dont know why ppl want outlaws that bads maybe just a mainstream thinking?

ruby idol
#

Outlaw is just incredibly OP in the right hands

#

Im suprised the outlaw craze has trickled into pugs so quickly considering none of the big streamers are really playing it

obsidian sierra
#

It was already in last ss when wits came there were a lot of gros i got declined since they especially wanted outlaw

#

I just saw on rio a lot ppl play it, also ashine played outlaw on all his recent keys when he mostly never played it last ss

ruby idol
#

I gotta find the clip of ashine flaming the NA brains for playing outlaw hahah

obsidian sierra
#

I remember some time ashine said he really doesnt like outlaw cause of randomness and then seeing him play it on all recent keys says a lot

ruby idol
#

Moral of the story, assa is fine, outlaw is just the best spec in the game for keys rn

#

But that doesnt make assa not good, if that makes sense

vestal wren
#

outlaw is just extremely good for the seasonal affix

obsidian sierra
#

Yeah i will see when it comes to mid season what will be wanted for mid- high keys (speaking on the equivalent of 18 s i played last ss) since i dont want to play a spec that gets declined on 50 perc of pugs

ruby idol
#

Im honestly shocked that you have groups asking if you play outlaw or assa and declining if you say the wrong one

#

How many times has this actually happened?

vestal wren
#

legion

#

they asked if you are sin

ruby idol
#

This is different tho

vestal wren
#

it was early legion to tos

#

even tho outlaw was better ppl wanted you to play sin

#

tos to end ppl didnt care

obsidian sierra
#

Not really asking directly they just decline after some mins and when you ask „hey you search rogue as its written in your desc why decline me?“ they say we need outlaw

#

Or just writing in desc outlaw especially at all

ruby idol
#

We need outlaw lmao wut

vestal wren
#

outlaw atm is just insane in numbers

ruby idol
#

Bro find some homies to play with

obsidian sierra
#

Or asking in disc „apics you play outlaw?“

#

I have some but i mostly play in the night since i have my own family which just allows me to pug

strange python
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
obsidian sierra
#

So i never can get a fixed grp i always play 22:00 to 02:00 or so

#

Never before

ruby idol
#

Like pugs are gonna depelte cause your tank randomly dies way more often than cause you missed the timer cause of lack of dmg. Assa is better at protecting tank

#

That mindset from people forming pug groups i will never wrap my head around

cobalt gyro
#

if you're pugging 100% of the time if you're going to miss a timer, it's not because of lack of dmg

ruby idol
#

Put simply, if a group is declining you because you play assa and not outlaw that group is garbage

#

Even tho im like the biggest outlaw fanboy and dont play anything else in keys rn

obsidian sierra
#

Haha

cobalt gyro
#

I only play assa in like, temple rn

obsidian sierra
#

I see

#

I really like assa in mplus with 3ebs some pretty numbers flying around

#

Its fun

ruby idol
#

And as i get more traits and can play around with all 3 specs, im sure there will be dungeons i end up thinking assa is even better than outlaw in. The dust just needs to settle

#

But for right now while reaping routes are still like works in progress, outlaw is king thats all

#

So keep playing assa my dude

sand canyon
#

simply because Sin > Law. Dmg Reduction, Silence, Slow + more consisntent aoe without needing the crit buff to shine. 415 3x eb , ss, thats how rogues gonna play endgame. ppl just dont know how to ramp up as sin on reaping and are flashed from law cause of the 6s burst into aoe. played both in max gear on Ptr and tested enough.

obsidian sierra
#

Yeah sounds good boys so i will get my head free of the need to get extra outlaw gear for now 😄

sand canyon
#

you dont need. outlaw for sure is really really good especially reaping helps it. but when ppl disocover the power of 3xss 3xeb and how to ramp up the neergy correctly so u also blast 200k on aoe. its not gonna be a question anyway since u also bring the grp more, then law does.

obsidian sierra
#

Already saw how 3 eb is fine even if one of my pieces is just 370. so wondering how it looks with full gear later

sand canyon
#

if u have 415 3xeb ss, big daggers and high mekka trinket, u gonna see its gonna be meta and giga consistent.

#

no rng, no rolls always blast.

obsidian sierra
#

I had my peak on 120k yesterday with 404 gear

sand canyon
#

i had 300k on a reaping wave

#

consistent

#

burst was 600 on shrine but idc about burst/shiny numbers for 2-5s its about especially in highkeys 20s-40s packs what matters

#

have a great day

#

dont let ppl tell u u have to play outlaw lol.

obsidian sierra
#

Huge numbers - yeah you also , thanks for advice

uneven summit
#

Enlighten me... EB?

strange python
#

Echoing Blades

uneven summit
#

ahhh ofc

fallow estuary
#

^3x EB + Mekka trinket

#

= rip reaping

obsidian sierra
#

Just from reading tooltips and not even looking at actual sims i would not know why i should take any trinket from the raid over one of the dungeon trinket

#

Like spyglass is extremely good or dice

#

Plus use trinket plumage or sots

sand canyon
#

u want to play spyglass+gigavolt 3xeb 3xss 30%+ crit mark the words

obsidian sierra
#

Ah really is that so good

#

I got 410 spyglass and a 425 pvp one now

swift prism
#

Engineering helm any good for us?

fallow estuary
#

How does the API uses mechka ? on CD with a few seconds delay to get max stacks?

sand canyon
#

ofc u wanna stack high crit obsvl because eb uptime

#

i did in ptr weeks testing

#

its giga difference if u go 60%+ (with trinkets etc) or 50% like u get much more procs u blat every global on aoe thats how you do ez outlaw dmg while consistent without relyn on crit buff to smack super big

obsidian sierra
#

I see. But not prefering a use trinket for bosses or priority mobs?

sand canyon
#

the gigavolt is ON use trinket also thats why its so broken

#

on prio u just vendetta exsang

obsidian sierra
#

Or so no trinket macro anymore just use it when its on full stack

raven mica
#

Wait how the hell am I supposed to end up with 3x SS 3x EB

sand canyon
#

not always but pref on 6 yes

raven mica
#

Without some giga luck

obsidian sierra
#

Chest from conclave and then pieces from vendor

sand canyon
#

you get from hc/mythic chest rest u play m0 (not even kidding) its good enough and u buy in 4weeks with residum head, then 4 after the shoulder.

#

have to go now guys enjoy

obsidian sierra
#

On shoulders there are 2 i guess and head only 1

raven mica
#

You can’t buy a specific 415 with 4 weeks of Azerite farming......

obsidian sierra
#

So might be a bit lucky

sand canyon
#

ofc u can u should have 2k already. and every week u get 1k+ in weekly chest already.

#

bb

raven mica
#

You get 800 from doing a 15

obsidian sierra
#

See you

raven mica
#

And also no, I have like 1200.

sand canyon
#

well do a 18

#

u get 1k

#

@obsidian sierra cheers

obsidian sierra
#

I mean you can do it in 4 weeks if you have luck since 400 scrap gives 110 already

sand canyon
#

it doesnt matter then its 5 weeks doesnt matter u have it in 2-3months full its fine

obsidian sierra
#

I got 5 400 this id

raven mica
#

Idk I main outlaw anyways

Waited like fuckin

#

2 years for this moment

obsidian sierra
#

Haha

#

Outlaw azerite even harder to get perfect

#

So less pieces with ace and ds

raven mica
#

Don’t fuckin matter cuz a fuckton Of outlaw traits are good anyways

obsidian sierra
#

Mostly ace OR ds plus wits

raven mica
#

4/6 are good, 2/6 are good to stack, and TC works just fine

#

Unlike how EB and SS work

weak isle
rose sapphire
#

hows the opener with master assa

royal lantern
#

its in the pins

strange python
#

Hey

#

How is sin in m+?

#

like 8+

winter gale
#

Guys

#

I saw Doom's Howl Vest sims best for us on chest piece on BloodMallet. But on journal in game there is no that one extra trait row. Can anyone explain me

brave gyro
#

What the fuck @weak isle 😂 Now that's a dead slot until next raid

dark crag
#

Use herodamage

royal lantern
#

you can play everything in a +8 key lol

brave gyro
#

@strange python Assa is fine. I would go CT on +10s or more if pugging. Otherwise its small pulls and trash dies too fast

strange python
#

yeah I know you can play everything on +8

#

I just wanna know if I should play assa or outlaw

#

for m+ and raid

dark crag
#

What do you like more?

brave gyro
#

If Raids > Assa
If M+ > Outlaw

If both > Assa

(this is my opinion, not fact)

#

I just love Assa too much. Its super strong in M+ either way

strange python
#

idk what I like more

brave gyro
#

just needs a tad planning

strange python
#

never got into playing assa really

#

but assa is better in raids right?

#

like thats a fact isnt it?

#

or did I just hear some wrong stuff from some guys

brave gyro
#

unless you are progressing mythic, it doesnt really affect that much what spec u play

#

you can get curve and M+ as Sub if u want, as long as you play well and know your stuff 🤷

strange python
#

well

#

I wanna be on top of the damage meter on my guild

#

so what specc do I play? lmao

spice surge
#

Assa is better at pure ST in raids yes

dark crag

spice surge
#

When theres more adds its complicated

proper igloo
#

toxic blade or exang these days?

dark crag
strange python
#

thought about switching classes aswell yeah, but I wanna play something like feral and I dont have that lvled 😭

brave gyro
#

For BoD assa is definitely superior imo. Lots of time you can dot stuff and keep dmg on boss ticing

dark crag
#

Don't go feral

strange python
#

saw some insane feral with like around 35k dps in m+

#

like overall

brave gyro
#

if u doubt rogues watch musclebrah on twitch

strange python
#

but isnt feral like a cheap assa rogue?

brave gyro
#

it is jnbLUL

spice surge
#

If you want overall damage just play outlaw

brave gyro
#

overall dps is fine, but if u get stuck on a high tyrannical boss, overall won't help

strange python
#

true yeah

dark crag
#

Outlaw evens out on longer boss fights

brave gyro
#

again, both are viable, just see what you like more

spice surge
#

I mean, outlaw does more boss damage than assa

brave gyro
#

you can do great with both

spice surge
#

Since assa sacrifices a lot of ST dps to even do any aoe

cobalt basalt
#

we have azerite that has both Shrouded Suffocation and Echoing Blades?

dark crag
#

Yes

spice surge
#

Unless the fight is specifically 2:30-2:40

brave gyro
#

musclebrah is doing a +19 FH as Assa at the moment, so you can see what it does 🤷

cobalt basalt
#

@dark crag can u name it pls

dark crag
#

No

brave gyro
#

check the azerite gear vendor

strange python
#

I Dont see any streamer called musclebrah

brave gyro
#

and you can see them

dark crag
#

Look at the vendor

brave gyro
#

/musclebrahTV @strange python

strange python
#

hm

spice surge
#

If you wanted to argue assa does good ST damage then saying watch musclebrah watch 17k on a boss isnt the most convincing argument 😄

strange python
#

yea

real bay
#

that seems really low

strange python
#

ikr

blissful saddle
#

Lol

spice surge
#

Well, triple eb

real bay
#

but those bosses do take a long time i guess

blissful saddle
#

Still does more than most

real bay
#

yeah i use double ep double SS and do 20k,but a lot shorter fight

#

dont have gear for triple both yet

blissful saddle
#

That would be awesome

#

I just love killin

#

3 ss with twist and NP

brave gyro
#

tbh, on that high keys, priority is surviving

blissful saddle
#

Love what shaggy gives you

royal lantern
#

reaping in tyranical is no problem when you have a mage/shaman/dh anyway lol

strange python
#

I Mean look he has 50k aoe dps, seems high but then think about what outlaw would have

royal lantern
#

i have 1xeb for dungeons this week, thats it

#

stuff simply dies too fast with other classes that have(too) much aoe dmg

brave gyro
#

i mean, he is pulling 180k+ atm

royal lantern
#

play a dh, pull 300k by pressing skill barrage

brave gyro
#

idk dude, its easy to say how one can do it better, but once you are in, there are more factors 🤷

real bay
#

dh is a no

#

wouldnt play one even if it was even more op

royal lantern
#

im just trying too say that you dont need too go heavy aoe as sin and sacrifice so much st dmg when you have a dh that does more then enough aoe dmg in your group

#

and lets be honest, you almost always have a dh or frostmage in a key

brave gyro
#

i've never had a frostmage in my keys kek

#

but i agree, you dont need to

royal lantern
#

well,not always, but you should build around your group, and most groups have more then enough aoe baseline

#

and if your group REALLY needs the aoe too get a reaping wave etc....down you are probably better with playing outlaw

brave gyro
#

I am on the opinion that both are viable, and people can do great with both **(both in raids and in M+) **

That being said, I personally mainly raid, and i barely have Outlaw gear. So I just maximize what i can do as Assa in M+ too, hense, going certain traits / talents etc. 🤷

real bay
#

its just a pain to swap azerite traits around

#

get expensive fast

smoky fiber
#

azerite reforge costs shouldnt be a thing

real bay
#

yep

royal lantern
#

it is, im sitting at ~40k right now too reforge 1x

brave gyro
#

I think it's a toxic circle of an "argument" to keep going back and forth L but assa... / but outlaw... so yeah

real bay
#

just like talents change in city

royal lantern
#

ofc both are viable, but both have situations where they shine

#

wich is how the game should work

brave gyro
#

exactly

strange python
#

I guess yeah

brave gyro
#

But that doesn't mean one spec is "useless" in the other situations

strange python
#

but I just want one spec to be better, so I know I will play that one

brave gyro
#

go Sub and become hokage

strange python
#

what? xD

brave gyro
#

its a joke

vestal wren
#

if this discussion is still about why not to play assassination in m+.
There is no reason not to, but outlaw just beats it esp. on not very high keys.
If the discussion about anyone beeing better reguardless, no outlaw is better bc. of the strong burst but yes you wont be terrible as sin either.

tulip mirage
#

does some one know why the f aspix always os me with her aoe even if I cos

brave gyro
#

Just do the best with the gear you have and play what you like imo 🤷

strange python
#

is there any class rn

#

that is proper op

#

in m+/raids

#

dpswise

earnest token
#

Demonhunter

royal lantern
#

dh is really good for m+ and raids, idk about fury warrior in m+,dont see many warriors there but they do pretty good dmg this tier

#

and,well, rogue is always good cus of our utility

strange python
#

fury warrior? hmm

royal lantern
#

dont bet money on it

#

but the fury in my raid pulls some insane dps

strange python
#

name, server?

earnest token
#

I mean if you are just looking at in terms of raid Spriest is pretty insane right now and if you play it right in m+ it does really good dmg it just lack utility

vestal wren
#

if you dont play in the wf race head on, play whatever you like

brave gyro
#

I mean, once you figure out what class you wannna play, join the discord and ask for details tbh 😂 idk why we are doing this in the rogue discord

vestal wren
#

if you want to be the "best possible always" you need to adjust

#

(unless you play dh, then you just play dh)

royal lantern
#

yeha, but play a class that is not rogue? zzz........

strange python
#

I know I can play everything but I just wanna be 1st in dps lol

vestal wren
#

if you want to have a secure melee spot

royal lantern
#

then

#

pad

vestal wren
#

play DH

royal lantern
#

like you never did before, pad the shit out of everything

#

multidot the adds on the 1st boss, even when it kills your tank

#

and then blame the boomkin/afflock

vestal wren
#

if you want a secure raid spot, shadow or wl will do it

real bay
#

just stack the adds near boss 4head

#

is the real way to pad

vestal wren
#

but keep in mind, shadow is atm very noticable overtuned, so its reasonable to expect a nerf sooner or later

strange python
#

is dh just a meme here or is it actually really good? xD

brave gyro
#

Im just waiting for the rogue buff 😂 we've had only nerfs since BFA release

#

its a meme, befcause its simple and really strong

vestal wren
#

the majority of "nerfs" where to azerite

brave gyro
#

true

vestal wren
#

reguardless of class/spec

strange python
#

true

vestal wren
#

from rogue only subtlety and outlaw got a straight 5% nerf

brave gyro
#

The memory of my gold remembers early Uldir, where every week full reroll or two on azerite gear 😂

main mirage
#

Am i wrong/bad to always use 1 x SS even tho it sims a bit lower than using 3 x of other traits for raiding? It just feels so bad not having ss

vestal wren
#

without the 5% nerf ranking would look somewhat like this (just multiplied overall with 1.05)

obsidian sierra
#

What nerf

#

Do we get flat nerf?

vestal wren
#

start of uldir

obsidian sierra
#

Ah

#

Was afraid

#

😂

vestal wren
#

i doubt they would nerf sub by 5% now

#

its already the least played spec in the game

strange python
#

didnt sin also get 5% nerf?

brave gyro
#

That's what happens when they remove a core spec mechanic because it could abuse raid bosses 😦

vestal wren
#

no sin did not get nerfs

#

only azerite nerfs but even those where far later then for sub/outlaw (both sub and outlaw recived nerfs to azerite too in addition to the 5% spec nerf)

#

i think one of the reasons sub playrate is so low is that they removed all the core elements of the spec and shifted it to other specs/classes

#

it remains a somewhat functional spec tbh

strange python
#

sub feels so weird tho

#

just spamming backstab 3x or something or 4 then evisc

#

like so weird

#

then shadow dance every like 30 sec just to do the exact same but with an ability that gives 1 more combo point

vestal wren
#

thats fine tbh

#

backstab is a filler spell, and a lot of emphasize was shifted towards dance

#

issues i see is core elements that where introduced to the spec in legion where dropped in favour of going back to a more wod like gameplay

#

i also think outlaw would need a bit of change, even tho numbers esp. in m+ are atm very good

#

sin is probably the only of the 3 specs where the core spec works well and improvements could be made with azerite

cold rampart
#

hey guys

#

nothing personal or TC?

vestal wren
#

what did the sim say?

brave gyro
#

Unpopular opinion, but combat > outlaw for me . At least bring back deeper insight, added much more depth to the spec

vestal wren
#

outlaw is essentially combat

#

i played it back in wod and it was boring

brave gyro
#

In raids it was fun, when you had to plan your insights and CDs based on bosses

#

things like Iskar Mythic, lining up stuff with your Ring

#

and red insight

#

on the packs

#

that's how i got my best rankings i've had

vestal wren
#

did not like it back then, but i prefere subtlety due to more complex gameplay

brave gyro
#

oh, wod sub was amazing. broken, but amazing 😄

vestal wren
#

it was amazing due to tier set, trinket and ring

brave gyro
#

i was just saying, i really enjoyed the planning of deeper insight based on fights

vestal wren
#

without those it was not better then current one, probably even worse

brave gyro
#

true true, tier set doubled your damage pretty much

#

at least openers

#

So many deaths at pulls, when that soul cap popped 😄

#

taking aggro and all

vestal wren
#

btw. sub was buffed significantly in the last tier iirc

#

else sin/combat would have remained the top specs

strange python
#

The old SnD and Rupture rotation of old combat best.

#

😄

strange python
#

on conclave can you pop cloak prior to the first hex

#

or not

#

so you don't get hexed half your vendetta

#

or do i just need to delay vendetta

brave gyro
#

I mean, the hex is only 3 sec, i wouldnt say half 😄

#

I would save it honestly, it negades winds dmg

#

it can be very powerful

hi, why is tb used before mutilate in the ma opener? shouldt potentially fit one more envenome in the tb window if it would be mutilate - tb?

green vapor

is it ever worth running hidden blades in m+? how about if you have 1/2/3 EB traits etc

trail bronze
lone junco
#

@green vapor hb no. EB yes.

#

you can sim the dungeon slice to see if 3EB +HB ever wins, but i doubt cause PB will maintain ST value for the bosses.

patent tide
#

"AzeritePowerWeights" add-on is good ? never try

lone junco
#

you would need to get the weights from herodamage for the proper spec and build.

#

unfortunately, this doesnt appear to be a subterfuge option, with SS garrote values.

#

and you would need another string for M+

I just sim myself for each piece on the fly.

stable oxide
fresh coyote
#

Not an expert, but I'm assuming ma builds with TB and ttk require higher uptime on boss and have lower aoe compared to SS builds.

stable oxide
#

Yeah okay, vanishing to multi garrote targets its pretty strong

#

So this would be better only for a patchwerk fight

fresh coyote
#

Exactly

#

Sims also assume a very high uptime on boss. With ss you only have to not mess up the opener and the vanish window

stable oxide
#

Yeah

#

Well I sim 22.6k with the Subterfuge specc so I shoudn't complain I think :p

fresh coyote
#

No. But ma typically aims higher with toxic blades and ttk which I thought requires higher uptime of staying in melee range

lone junco
vestal wren
#

yes the fight is not trival

#

i wish more of the other fights where higher tuned

Ma TB 3DD

deep solstice
#

Triple DD does well, but it will fall behind SS / Sub with any significant cleave

vestal wren
#

he has good pieces for it

deep solstice
#

I am kind of sad that exg fell behind. I enjoyed it in uldir.

vestal wren
#

both are fairly close

deep solstice
#

Even with double SS exg sims about 0.7% behind TB for me

#

I no longer run galecaller's (because I cant get one to drop) so that probably hurts exg a lot.

vestal wren
#

you could farm yourself a gc

#

if you want it to sim equal/higher

#

opener is slightly smother with 1 ss

#

i assume a lot of ppl will play with 1

deep solstice
#

I got pretty fortunate with my azerite. I can run 1 SS 3 DD or 2 SS 2 DD, so I swap depending on the fight

#

Anyone know if Exg affects the bleed from the conclave trinket?

#

havent tested it myself

stable oxide
#

I asume you want to go for 3xDD-1xTreacherous Covenant-1xNP-1xSS?

vestal wren
#

should not affect the trinket

#

!azerite has gear recomendations

prisma monolithBOT
deep solstice
#

Are a lot of people running NP right now just due to lack of options? It sims abysmally for me.

vestal wren
#

only 1st np trait is good

stable oxide
#

Yeah

deep solstice
#

Ya just saying even one sims bad, but I have DD, BI, SS on basically every piece, so probably just fortunate azerite on my part

vestal wren
#

i mean thats what sims for 😛 to have results for your personal gear lvl

deep solstice
#

ya I was just making sure I wasnt missing something with NP that sims dont account for

#

But ya I think it's the fact that I would have to give up either BI or 1 DD stack for NP that makes it sim so poorly.

you could say "jaina" if u say blocks

end of king as well

buoyant coyote

y

#

So wouldnt going SS be good as a "Middle ground"?

#

sure i lose 200 dmg which is like nothing

spice surge
#

Blocks on jaina lasts <8s, not enough to get good value out of vanish SS

#

Opulence what?

#

Then you might aswell just run fok traits

dark crag
#

The strength of ss is when you can vanish garrotte multiple adds that live long enough

spice surge
#

The fight that is best suited for that is rastakhan, but rogues are typically desired downstairs

What ever boss I look at, almost everybody is runnin Subsef insteaf of MA. Why is that? 😮 No way everybody sim better with Subs instead of MA. Am I missing something

@strange python not every fight is pure patchwerk, DD gets worse in AoE SS gets better

well SS is good in cleave, especially if adds lines up with vanish

#

Well you just did, but feel free to ask another

How strong Kimbul's Razor claw is ?

pastel wasp

i think SS is still strong

#

most boss fights have a 2 min burst window and not patchwerk fights

true fulcrum
#

How does prepotting work with sin? I thought we want to use battle potion of agility when we pop vendetta? Are we supposed to use a different pot before pull?

safe matrix
#

agi, before pull

true fulcrum
#

Why not on vendetta?

spice surge
#

Because if you do it before pull it wont trigger its cooldown

#

And you can get another one later on in the fight

safe matrix
#

yeah if you activate it before you get into combat it will go on cd for 1 minute, but when you activate it during combat it goes on CD for the whole fight

true fulcrum
#

Got it, thanks

safe matrix
#

So you do it 1 second before combat to get two potions over a fight

#

its the same as any other class

obtuse surge
#

Why are we doing garot-rupture-garot with shroud trait in the opening?

safe matrix
#

so you have a longer buffed garrote

#

"-Pandemic this term relates to reapplying buffs/debuffs. When a debuff (like garrote) is refreshed, its remaining time (up to a cap of 30% max duration, so 18x0.3=5.4s for garrote) will be added to the new buff. Primarily used to give leeway to reapply bleeds, however can also be used to make bleeds last longer." -the pins

obtuse surge
#

Ye i know, its was just to maybe garote and then get 4+ for rupture

safe matrix
#

nah

#

cause you're also recasting rupture, if you're doing exsang, it saves a GCD

#

and also GRG means you have one more second of buffed rupture

what do you guys think the best combination of traits for pure ST are atm?

3x mutilate then 1 ss 1 np 1 tc?

#

simself but 3 dd is set

yeah 3 dd but then what?

plain thistle
#

1 ttk is algo very good

i see alot of rogues going 3 vendetta

rigid mango
#

DD + TC/SS

#

If you can

#

One NP is pretty good too

fresh robin
#

yeeeah that first NP looks juicy

so i was just gonna aim for 1 ss, 1np , 1 tc just cuz not having SS for the opener feels so bad man

I mean

What are you replacing to get NP

nothing, its what i have atm, 1 of each

NP is very strong as a one of

#

it doesn't stack

#

That's pretty much the ideal set up

fresh robin
#

really? blood mallet shows it does, and i see several rogues with 3 DD 3 NP

rigid mango
#

3x DD and then one of each

#

Yeah, but the energy regen doesn't stack

#

(apparently)

fresh robin
#

ah

#

im currently stuck with 3 DD, 1 TC, 1 NP, 1 scent of blood

#

but it could be worse

rigid mango
#

I mean yeah

#

sob isn't that bad

#

Defo could be worse

strange python
#

does galecallers and the vers trinket from kings rest share a cd?

fresh robin
#

yea, i tried making outlaw work but i just hate having terrible boss damage

dark crag
#

2dd 1np 1scent 1ttk 1engi

fresh robin
#

ah yeah engi helm is pretty strong

rigid mango
#

@strange python every on use does

#

It's a 20 sec cd for the other if you use one

strange python
#

thats what i thought, thank you!

dark crag
#

400 itemlvl eq sim 21,3k

rigid mango
#

I mean outlaw's fine

#

It's just so roll reliant

haughty verge
#

im running 3 dd 1 np 1 tc 1 ss but can only do 400 dps more than my outlaw

rigid mango
#

Then your stats might be off

#

Because those traits are pretty insane

#

That's pretty much the perfect ST setup

haughty verge
#

yeah im outlaw main so maybe i suck at assas

rigid mango
#

That too, I mean I sucked for a while

fresh robin
#

i tried outlaw again this tier, had triple ds and good ST secondaries

rigid mango
#

It has a diff playstyle to outlaw/sub

fresh robin
#

i just hate how meh the boss dmg is on raids

rigid mango
#

Yeah it feels relativly meh

#

The boss damage in m+ is aight, because it's bursty enough

#

Or if the fight has cleave, it's pretty nice

fresh robin
#

i mean even with good rolls it still feels meh

rigid mango
#

yeah I felt it being underwhelming

fresh robin
#

on a 5 roll, u cant even spend ur energy fast enough sometimes

#

because of the gcd

rigid mango
#

So I swapped over to sub as I was playing casually and then swapped over to assa because I was gonna start trying again

dark crag
#

Subs my heart, but the tryhard in me plays assa and oulaw

rigid mango
#

Yeah same

#

Sub was so much fun when I played it

#

But god fucking damn, 3x EB in reaping pulls

#

Those numbers don't lie

dark crag
#

I play sub for wqs and world pvp

rigid mango
#

I don't care enough

round harbor
#

world pvp OMEGALUL

rigid mango
#

Tbf, assa is insane in pvp

round harbor
#

imagine warmod eon in 2019

rigid mango
#

Imagine having small dick energy and not

dark crag
#

Dodging gank squads with shadow duel is 200 iq play

rigid mango
#

^

#

Current assa feels like MoP druid

#

Dot and play like a cuck

round harbor
#

never having to dodge shit because warmode doesnt give any benefit is even better

rigid mango
#

20% more stuff's nice

dark crag
#

But hunting bounties

rigid mango
#

It does give a literal bonus

round harbor
#

bonus of worthless stuff

dark crag
#

All my gems were bounty bags

round harbor
#

thats like every paycheck u get at ur shit job ur boss gives u a bag of rocks

rigid mango
#

No it's like he'd give me an extra 20% of pay

round harbor
#

just another kick in the nuts by the boss

rigid mango
#

of the stuff that I will eventually need

#

Esp if I slack

round harbor
#

oof what

#

gem that cost 10g?

rigid mango
#

No a 20% increase in the war resources

#

If I slack = I run out

dark crag
#

You pay for them, i don't

rigid mango
#

I run out = no missions

dark crag
#

Now you mad

round harbor
#

lol why would i be mad

#

my guilkd bank has like 200 of every gem in it

#

since they are 10g each

outer ruin
#

This isn't really sin related, but I was watching musclebrahtv's stream, and they were activating an item in vol'dun that let them run SUPER FAST while stealthed. anyone know what it is?

dark crag
#

Probably the fp upgrade

outer ruin
#

no it was absurdly faster than FP upgrade

#

like faster than mount runspeed

dark crag
#

At the Harbor the npc sells missions to upgrade fps

outer ruin
#

I swear he said "gungo boots" ?

dark crag
#

Was it a caravan?

round harbor
#

no it was boots

outer ruin
#

I have all the honorbound upgrades. to my knowledge it isn't that

#

It wasn't caravan no

round harbor
#

same thing u used to skip all the trash in uldir

outer ruin
#

It added a green affect to your runspeed, and you could use it while stealthed

round harbor
#

gunshoe boots

outer ruin
#

😮 these seem amazing!

#

thank you rawrzilla. that's exactly what I was after

dark crag
#

In tanaan jungle drops a skull that has the same effect, but i think thats jungle only

#

Although it has the green effect you described if my memory is correct

#

Draenor only

outer ruin
#

yeah I'll have to craft a bunch of those gunshoes

Hey guys a quick question regarding the assassination opening. Is the proposed opening on icy veins better or on ravenholdt (toxic blade with shrouded suffocation) ?

https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-rotation-cooldowns-abilities

http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/#rot

spice surge
#

The opening on icy veins is for MA, not subterfuge and shrouded

#

But in general, i'd advise against reading icy veins and stick to the ravenholdt or wowhead guides

strange python
#

Alright big thanks!

fresh robin
#

is there a tool to look up where items with certain traits drop?

#

like say i wanted a SS/DD chest?

quick ice
#

!azerite

prisma monolithBOT
quick ice
#

Should have a link to the azerite power Finder

civic palm
#

there ya go

#

Got it

fresh robin

ty

rose bolt
#

Is it possible that raidbots reccomends gear for crit/versa? According to the Guide it should be haste?

safe matrix
#

yep

#

because people have different crits/talents/gear

#

your personal sims will always be more accurate than the generic stat weights

rose bolt
#

I see... Thanks!

buoyant stream
#

should i use dagger

#

or swords

dark crag
#

Mutilate needs 2 dagger

buoyant stream
#

oh

#

rip

fickle obsidian
#

!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.

spark grail
#

390 dooms wake and 400 boon, what should i use in opener?

rich linden
#

2 DD over 2 SS for traits right?

#

or is SS like top 2 for traits

#

i thought some traits were suppose to be stacked no matter what

dark crag
slow mortar
#

Is there a rationale for DD not working with blindside?

spice surge
#

Idk

#

There is none

dark crag
#

Lazy blizz

civic palm
#

Yeah, not breaking Mutilate/DD.

slow mortar
#

How so?

civic palm
#

Whaddaya want MUT to be free during EXE on a proc? or DD do more damage during EXE? or MUT do more damage during EXE?

#

They'd just make it worse everywhere else, and "better" during execute.

#

and if you want DD to do more DMG or proc additionally in EXE they'd have to nerf the Mastery scaling of DD outright, making it worse in general but "better" in EXE.

We're not an Execute spec, we've Blindside as filler because of simplistic design.

steep obsidian
#

blindside doesn't even work with venom rush they didn't even think it through

#

should just delete it

civic palm
#

They didn't want it to, it's mean to be a filler/throwaway IMO.

#

We've a few of those > _>

steep obsidian
#

what is the point in a throw away talent

#

what shit design

#

im not one to whine much about the game but that is just lazy and bad

dark crag
#

Gloomblade says hello

civic palm
#

Well it is better than MP/EP at really low item level.

steep obsidian
#

at least gloomblade was the best talent with certain setups in legion

dark crag
#

It was minimal better in st sims

slow mortar
#

I thought pretty simplistic about it then. Like why not half or 1/3rd the damage of DD for blindside. I understand blindside has a higher chance than mut to apply poisons(specially during envenom)
Rotational priority puts blindside barely above mut. But with DD you wouldn't use use it outsideof procs, even in execute

dark crag
#

But in real world had no chance

cunning geyser
#

It's a general thing that happened when they wanted their supposed "class fantasy" basically we ended up with specs based around 1 iconic spell the rest is basically fillers so blindside is just there to have an icon

civic palm
#

and Blindside as a concept might grow by the end of the expansion/in the next expansion.

steep obsidian
#

what?

#

blindside was fine wod

#

it was a proc and at least worth pressing

#

and with the tier bonus in hfc was really strong

#

dunno why they need to fix stuff that wasnt broken

civic palm
#

Well they didn't fix it they removed it.

#

_>

#

and I've said it about 20 times now, it takes one trait to make Blindside better than MP or EP.

how much crit u guys run with assa ?
