Normal packs don't kill people as much as reaping packs though. Well I guess that depends on if you have mass grip or boomy int

#

I just don't see any point in playing assassination over Outlaw in Mythic Plus

desert vault
#

On reaping packs is it just for, spread 2 or 3 ruptures for energy and then just fork and envenom spam?

lone junco
#

23k people making me feel bad.

#

oy

real bay
#

set up some garrotes ruptures on the first mobs so you have energy to spam fok when rest of them run to you

#

as long as you have energy to spam fok it seems most dps , envenom gcd is kinda waste unless it procs PB, in a very big pack, imo

#

would use it to keep poison proc chance high

patent topaz
#

I run CT for most dungeons, I saw the most dps spamming fok CT after I got bleeds for regen and mobs live long enough

idle vigil
#

0 point in refreshing ct if it’s not gonna expire

#

Better off applying rupture or keeping a envelop up to boost ur fan damage

royal lantern
#

what? its about the cast dmg on CT, wich is pretty high

#

and you should spam it when you have enough bleeds out

idle vigil
#

The cast damage on ct is extremely low

#

It’s literally 1 tick of bleeds

sturdy python
#

At 5+ targets it does more than envenom

#

Of course you have to judge if the spread damage is better than prio and whether another rupture would last long enough to out damage it

maiden parcel
#

hey, fellow rogues. Can someone help me with my logs? I dont get i why im just at round about 30-40 % perfomance. Is there a huge problem ( gear/traits/talents/rota/etc) or are there many different minor problems?

vast forum
#

Try playing outlaw on high fortified

#

You run out of bf stacks

#

Whereas assa only keeps getting better with more time to set up bleeds

sturdy python
#

Not really True anymore with wits and ds being used

vast forum
#

Wits has nothing to do with bf uptime

#

It just makes it more effective, thus more important and thus the downtime hurts you more

sturdy python
#

Wits makes DS actually effective, increasing bf uptime. Without wits DS is not an option

brave gyro
#

do you guys hold your 2nd vendetta until you have vanish up ? ( ~ 15-20 sec)

sturdy python
#

Yes

brave gyro
#

Cheers, just checking

lament dove
#

I use MA so I don't have to hold it for long mwhaha

#

MA keeps getting stronger for me, now it sims about 600 dps higher than 3xSS + exsang oO

brave gyro
#

I wonder if it's worth holding with only one SS (and subterfuge)

#

i guess, with MA, u wanna Mutilate out of stealth (after vanish) ?

lament dove
#

no, envenom

#

you can envenom + muti + envenom during MA

#

if you're not unlucky...

sturdy python
#

You hold vendetta for vanish no matter the spec

#

Unless there some really weird timing in the fight i guess

brave gyro
#

ah, true, like when we had shoulders

#

ive just been stuck with subterfuge since start of BFA, forgot what it is to play with MA 😄

obsidian sierra
#

I mean obv assa becomes better due to dotting. If mobs live ling enough to keep dots ticking and a lot of raptures up if you have scent i think it might get even nearer to OL pack dmg

#

Ol has no advantage except on demand burst

spice surge
#

Outlaws aoe "burst" lasts for 45 seconds though, then a 5 sec gap and another 15

obsidian sierra
#

How much do you pull nowadays at bosses as ol

spice surge
#

Unless the fight ends right after a vendetta you do more as outlaw on bosses

vast forum
#

Wat?

#

No wai

spice surge
#

Wdym? Outlaw and assa basicly sim exactly the same on a 5min sim, and assa has to sacrifice 3x DD, poison bomb and ma+tb to do any aoe

#

Whereas outlaw gives up blade rush

vast forum
#

Assa can go exsg and 3xSS which is still close to 3dd+ma+tb

inner pecan
#

you still have to play 3EB technically

spice surge
#

^

inner pecan
#

which is big ST loss

#

but idk if I agree on Outlaw and Sin being basically equal on ST

#

maybe on a 5m sim but the burst is nowhere near the same

spice surge
#

They sim equal is what i said

#

Obv the burst from assa is better

obsidian sierra
#

I mean for now obv outlaw might be better but im sure this changes on higher keys later the ss. Also assa has silences and slow

#

But we just can guess now

inner pecan
#

triple SS Exsg is like a 45k opener

#

Outlaw will be the default for Reaping season

spice surge
#

Gouge is often way more useful than the silence

#

tbh

inner pecan
#

but you might see sin if the comp/strat calls for it

spice surge
#

yeah, sin definitely isnt bad

vast forum
#

I never said assa was better, but the difference just keeps getting smaller the higher the key

thin patio
#

Gouge is not even binded on my outlaw omegalol

spice surge
#

Its just that outlaw is insane

#

With wits and dancing steel

#

Outlaw isnt just burst aoe

#

Its very constant

vast forum
#

It has downtime tho

inner pecan
#

nothing you can't play around

vast forum
#

It's also more punished by mechanics

spice surge
#

Depends on the dungeon

vast forum
#

I personally play both but my traits are better for assa

spice surge
#

Some dungeons assa is punished more, because outlaw can hit the boss while assa cant

#

With the extra range'

inner pecan
#

ur reaching real hard to argue that outlaw isn't best but your position isn't really justifiable

#

sin is very good compared to other melee

vast forum
#

I never said it isn't best

inner pecan
#

but in general Outlaw is a bit stronger in this season

#

and both are obviously viable even at the highest level

#

but there's a reason you see more outlaw at that level right now

vast forum
#

Outlaw is also better for organised grps who can pull bigger

#

Slow 3-6 target pulls easily venture into assa teritory

inner pecan
#

sure can agree

real bay
#

assa isn't bad for high targets tbh EB only gets better

spice surge
#

Idk, it was like that last season sure

inner pecan
#

but now ur just changing the parameters of the argument tbh

vast forum
#

Nah

subtle imp
#

Just play sub and question why you're still sub madman

rigid mango
#

Them big pulls/reap pulls with 3x eb is insane

vast forum
#

I'm giving arguments for both specs

real bay
#

the only thing assa lacks is instant toggle on aoe

vast forum
#

I would play outlaw as my main m+ spec if i had the azerite for it

idle vigil
#

Exanguante or tb? For keys

quartz rune
#

Exsa usually

#

Depends on traits obv

idle vigil
#

Triple as?

#

Ss*

thin patio
#

yes

ember saddle
#

rolling ruptures on multi targets with TB being applied to a specific target makes it somewhat akward IMO. exang is fire and forget.

spice surge
#

There's been some arguments about pretending to be a sub rogue as assa with tb and twist traits

#

The prio damage is very strong with such a setup

real bay
#

it's strong with EB in a big pack every other gcd full cp envenom if you wish to focus a mob

small hollow
#

is it ever worth to wait out an Envenom if you have the buff still running and you arent overcapping with energy?

spice surge
#

Think of it the opposite way. Is it worth casting it now rather than waiting?

#

If you have short term buffs or debuffs which will end soon (tb, elaborate planning, vendetta, trinket proc) then yes use it, otherwise wait

#

The default is always to wait till you have a lot of energy before using either finisher, unless you have a reason to cast it earlier

robust lake
#

do y'all overlap berserking and bl? I feel like its impossible to not overcap on energy when i do that

#

if you are trolls ofc

serene basin
#

@small hollow during vendetta you should be whipping out as many envenoms as you can, because the regen allows you to

#

outside of it, you should make sure you have enough energy to refresh dots before finishing

lost horizon
#

The haste still impacts bleed tickrate, so you're still getting value even if overcapping energy @robust lake

robust lake
#

true

lost horizon
#

I play ally so I don't have a ton of experience using troll racial but

spice surge
#

Also, haste is multiplicative, so if you use berserking when bl is up you get 13% haste instead of 10%

lost horizon
#

Holding for the whole hero duration seems bad

robust lake
#

idk

lost horizon
#

Just stack it up and go ham

robust lake
#

i was thinking of that too eleem

#

troll racial is 10% haste for 12 s btw if youre not familiar

arctic summit
#

Heya, quick question, Is it worth keeping bleed on crimson tempest up on singletarget?

wary ice
#

no

hollow jungle
#

what 415 azerite are you guys rolling on?

#

given the first 3 bosses drop double dose i'm not sure what to snag

spice surge
#

If you're gonna be killing the first 3 mythic bosses with any regularity, then chest

hollow jungle
#

that's what i was thinking

spice surge
#

Because the chest from grong isnt very good

hollow jungle
#

got nothing personal and double dose

#

pog

uneven summit
#

Nothing Personal x1, 3x Double Dose, 2x Treachorous is Perfecto and Yliajos choice for most mythic bosses

hollow jungle
#

i got 2x NP...bummer

wary ice
#

dont take it personally 🤷

hollow jungle
#

gottem

desert vault
#

I am really liking 2x SS, DD, TC. Feels pretty solid. Good from progression stuff and all that.

uneven summit
#

yeah sounds nice

#

😄

#

3x dd is amazing on st

desert vault
#

I could give up a SS for NP, but dont really like NP that much. I mean it's alright but I dunno.

hollow jungle
#

i'm tryin to get rid of my last SS so i can try MA build

desert vault
#

I dont think I have a decent piece with a third DD.

uneven summit
#

1x NP is good

desert vault
#

I hope I get a good trinket from chest. Xant get past 385s of dice or glass yet.

uneven summit
#

i like my 395 galecallers with socket and 385 mekka trinket

#

would love dices tho

desert vault
#

I have 395 gcb but kind of tired of it. Want something new.

uneven summit
#

i get that

#

it´s just so damn strong

desert vault
#

Yeah but a 400 dice and 400 spyglass is really strong now as well.

uneven summit
#

thats true

hollow jungle
#

when do you guys pop galecaller?

#

before vendetta in opener?

#

subterfuge open btw

uneven summit
#

Garrote - Multi - Garrote - rupture - vendetta - multi - multi - toxic blade (with galecallers+mekka trinket) then envenom

#

works

#

with subter

#

but it also depends on the combo point procs

spice surge
#

You shouldnt always be using your mekka trinket there

#

Use it with max stacks, not at any specific time

uneven summit
#

i know

spice surge
#

Since the stacks are randomized

uneven summit
#

yup

hollow jungle
#

i've always garrote-rupture-garrote-vendetta-TB

uneven summit
#

mekka is in there if it´s at 6 😛 otherwise i pop it before

spice surge
#

All the openers are in the guide in the pins

#

o shit got 410 galecaller

#

replacing golden plumage 385

how many of you did switch from subt. to MA with the new azerit pieces?

raven mica
serene basin
#

@unkempt belfry dang, grats my dude!

wary ice
#

Against a single target, with neither Vendetta nor Toxic Blade up, it is worth pooling to about 80% energy before using [4+CP envenom]. I'm rereading the guide and this jumped at me - is this still true with Elaborate Planning?

#

I've been trying to clip EP

unkempt belfry
#

pooling to 80% seems like you'd risk overcap or need for poisoned knife to prevent overcap if you have to move out of melee for a mechanic? I'd rather go for EP uptime.

quiet parrot
#

Is there a better opener i should be doing? I am currently doing this:
Use Battle Potion of Agility Icon Battle Potion of Agility at 2 second on the pull countdown.
Garrote
Mutilate
Rupture
Vendett
Mutilate
Toxic Blade
Vanish
Envenom
Mutilate
Garrote
Envenom
Then normal rotation

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
spice surge
#

@wary ice Yes, unless you have a reason to cast envenom (such as tb/vendetta) you should just wait until you have high energy

#

With EP its slightly more complicated, because you want to clip ep but you also want your mutilates to have EP and envenom on them

quiet parrot
#

i had always been using the icyveins guide

#

and thats what theirs had listed, but i was not sure why they say to cast envenom

spice surge
#

So you clip the Ep if you have enough energy for 2 mutilates afterwards

wary ice
#

This is some news man

#

I've found ive been choking in st situations during dungeons

spice surge
#

@quiet parrot All openers (for every trait/talent setup) are in the guide in the pins here (the ravenholdt guide)

wary ice
#

I've written it up to no poison bomb but 🍡. Excited to give this a try

quiet parrot
#

ill read that now

#

ty

spice surge
#

It also becomes more pronounced if you have multiple double doses, since its very important to have envenom up when mutilating

wary ice
#

@spice surge I imagine w/ 3x SS+Gale+Exsang, EP uptime is highest priority during Esang window?

spice surge
#

Yes, exsang is different

#

But you still dont use low cp finishers for it

wary ice
#

yeah

#

sick

#

thanks

fervent goblet
#

Would you replace Fathoms or 355 Chargestone trinket for 410 Galecallers?

shy axle
#

most likely yeah, need to sim it for real data

wary ice
#

My immediate assumption is fathoms + GC

#

sims are better than me tho

rose perch
#

yeah that's my thought too

wary ice
#

👋 hi @rose perch thanks for the dungeon run videos

rose perch
#

hi ^.^

wary ice
#

Seriously absolutely love the comentary on the higher keys - really helps with learning why/how to do stuff

final stone
#

is chest the piece to go for for a 415 piece considering the pieces in raid?

harsh carbon
#

If I sim Dispatch as equal, if 0.1% worse than EP, could I run it and not be flamed?

spice surge
#

Mind linking your sim? im curious how you could even get it that close

#

I assume you mean blindside

buoyant kraken
#

Does anyone know if Grong at some point takes increase dmg on mythic?

#

Im seeing some rogues crit for 130k+ on grong

wary ice
#

Doesnt the orb crit?

#

or was that ptr only

pallid spruce
#

for mythic + 3 ss or x1 ss and x2 EB what u think

buoyant kraken
#

im not talking about the orb, im talking about envenoms critting for 130k+ and garrote critting for 40k+

spice surge
#

Grong doesnt have any damage taken increases, where did you see 130k+ crits?

rose perch
#

@buoyant kraken there's a bug apparently where doing the achievement thing causes him to take extra damage instead of doing extra damage

buoyant kraken
#

oh ok

rose perch
#

possibly bannable so be careful

buoyant kraken
#

is it the barrels of monkey achievement?

rose perch
#

yeah

pseudo hamlet
#

3xSS(400) or 3xEB (385) for M+? Gonna sim it now, but yeah... was wondering if anyone says that they preffer SS or EB?

primal gazelle
#

whats with sims apl for MA?
1st vanish it does vanish-> TB Mut - > Envemom
2nd vanish it does -> vanish - > envenom - > garrote mut
3rd vanish it does vanish -> envenom - > Mut -> Envenom

?

spice surge
#

The garrote mut one is def wrong

#

But it doesnt really matter if it does 1:st or 3:rd option, they're basicly equal

primal gazelle
idle ember
#

Does DD stacking with MA overcome subterfuge SS for the new raid? I know. Sim it. But I finally have the ability to run 3 DD and I havent done anything without SS in a long, long time. I'm sure it's been covered heavily.

rose perch
#

yes on pure single target you'll probably find comparable ilvl sets that are DD/TC/0-1NP type traits with no SS and using Master Assassin being better than SS and Subterfuge - but if the fight is multi-target pretty much ever you'll probably want SS and Subt

swift prism
#

What's the benefit of using garrote twice in a row with SS and Sub?

woeful oriole
#

increased duration of teh dot

wary ice
#

30% more duration of the snapshot

swift prism
#

it stacks that early?

rose perch
#

if you use it once it will be up for 18 seconds, if you use it twice it will be up for 24+ seconds

swift prism
#

ohhhh

harsh carbon
#

@spice surge I'll link it once I get home, I'm currently out for awhile.

night vale
#

With toxic blade I find myself doing :

Mutilate > vanish > garotte > envenom/rupture > garotte > toxic blade ( comes just off CD) > envenom

#

No idea if that’s right though

swift prism
#

I thought it was like "pandemic" and only added at the end of the duration.. is my understanding of pandemic incorrect? lol

solid nova
#

-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.

swift prism
#

so it doesn't matter when it's added on

#

interesting

#

My world has been shaken

deep glacier
#

How do I use exsanguinate after the opener? With full duration of the buffs (the double garrote and double rupture thing) or after rupture and garrote on their own?

#

looked at some logs and it's sort of a combination though, I guess you try for the full duration?

swift prism
#

My guess is full duration, judging by the guide

rapid flame
swift prism
#

Another pandemic question -- if I use a 5cp Rupture, I would get an extra 7.2 seconds out of it using the formula you mentioned @solid nova ... but if I use a 4CP Rupture, does it count as 20 seconds max duration, or still 24 sec? Will I only get the extra 6 seconds if I refresh a 4CP Rupture?

spice surge
#

Its only your gear that is bugged, if it happens you have to re-equip your azerite and/or relogg for it to work again @rapid flame

#

Happened to a lot of people after the dc yesterday

marble hemlock
#

the pandemic duration you can add is based on the new dot you apply

#

so you can do 2cp rupture into 5cp rupture and still get the 31.2sec rupture from it

swift prism
#

oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

#

that's insane!

marble hemlock
#

(not that you should do that, just to explain how it works)

swift prism
#

Nah, it makes the guide make more sense now

marble hemlock
#

when applying a new dot, up to 30% of its duration is added if the dot is already present

swift prism
#

Garrote > Rupture > Garrote etc

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

thats why you see double garrote on singletarget

swift prism
#

right, right

#

it's all coming together now

#

thanks dudes

#

yall are about to take my rogue to the next level

marble hemlock
#

to ensure max-duration subterfuge/ss bonus garrote

#

outside of that, pandemic is really only there to make the rotation a bit smoother

#

becomes a bit more important of a mechanic to play around when youre playing with exsanguinate tho

swift prism
#

What about on Fan of Knives - seems like it has some wonky CP generation - sometimes it only gives me 1CP, other times it gives me 4 or 5 in one use. o.O

#

I only use with 3+ targets

#

so I'm not sure what's happening

spice surge
#

It gives 1 combo point baseline, and then you get 1 more per crit

swift prism
#

oh cool

#

pretty straightforward then

weak creek
#

need some opinions

#

rolling a 400 azerite piece, i have champions 415 mythic helm, ss/endless hunger 400 shoulders and 385 dd np chest

#

roll for shoulders that dont have ss or 400 chest

swift prism
#

Wouldn't it be best to upgrade your lowest piece?

lone junco
#

@swift prism and the vanish GG is a cheap way to cap cps. Alternative would be at 2+ cps, vanish then g env(rupture) g, but thats obnoxious.

swift prism
#

I see

mystic fractal
#

finally got a GcB this week. How do yall use it besides opener?

#

does it lose value during lust?

solid nova
#

How do I use Galecallers Boon?
-With Toxic Blade: On cooldown
-With Exsanguinate: Do NOT hold exsang for every galecaller. Use them seperately on cooldown with the exception of the third galecaller use, which you want to delay to line up with vendetta+vanish+exsang at around 2:25

lone junco
#

@solid nova i got that haste bijou trinket. 700h 1min. totally excited for it. Fuck that GCB circle anyway. (until i get a 410 socket gc, then yay)

#

if my box has a fat socket GCB today, it will be my new favorite trinket, again.

swift prism
#

Why is it better to use Envenom at 4CP than to use another Mut for 5?

#

Just efficiency reasons?

plain thistle
#

because you will overcapp combo points

swift prism
#

ye, figured

#

Would I want to use a garrote (assuming no empowered one is getting overwritten) to get to 5cp, or just use at envenom at 4CP regardless?

lone junco
#

@swift prism Mut is 2 or 4cps. using it for 1 is dumb.

bold hearth
#

Too bad that bijou trinket is super under statted, I got one the other day too

lone junco
#

any time you leave the GCB circle, just punch yourself in the face. then determine if Bijou is better or worse

#

@swift prism never mut on 4 is a good rule of thumb. could garrote or TB.

swift prism
#

Okay cool

mystic fractal
#

i watched perfecto a bit on their jaina attempts and it looks like he TBs on 5 CP to get the extra envenom in the window over maximally avoiding wasted CP

#

that seemed odd to me but maybe just a mistake?

spice surge
#

What he does is right

#

Think of it this way

#

1 cp is roughly 20% of an envenom

#

and 30% of an envenom is better than 20% of an envenom

#

But being at 4 before tb is obviously better

#

But if you crit twice and get 5, what can you do

mystic fractal
#

it's slightly more than 20% though, yeah? it's 20% + (your crit * 20%)

#

nobody's at 50% crit, so it's still less

#

but i see what you mean

spice surge
#

Its a lot less actually, since you also have to pay more energy, but the point is the same

lone junco
#

and then, count up the seconds of TB delay aggregate across the fight, and Tadaa. if > 25, then bad bad.

#

and if you have DD, going into TB Env with high E is also nice, instead of dumping prior to tb.

#

got a few crit strings last night. almost got a 4th Env in tb, made me reminisce the Shoulder bombs.

yall buying a random piece or waiting for a specific?

anyone else have Mastery being very close to overtaking Haste in ST?

wicked sluice
#

If I have a piece that I have to choose SS or EB for, which one do I pick for myth+?

hollow stone
#

My mastery is most valued stat. Low mastery and high haste will do this to you. Thats why it recommends simming your specific char

fleet whale
#

yeah, in fact for me, haste, mastery and crit are pretty close to one another

hollow stone
#

Yea. Same.

fleet whale
#

I also have a rank of NP, along with 2x SS and 2x Twist the knife... might be pushing mastery up a bit more for me

#

Hey, how is sin compared to outlaw in m+

languid ore
#

No comparison, outlaw is best. 0 bias opinion.

foggy trench
#

ah dam, really like the play style of sin aswell..

languid ore
#

You need some gear to make sin work. Whereas you only need wits to be competitive with outlaw

#

Play sin. It's not terrible. I just think this tier favors outlaw a lot.

but if i want to push higher keys go outlaw?

Play sin, and dont have to be bothered with RTB

Does having x3 DD change how you pool? do you no longer want to maximize envenom/Mut's during EP windows, but prioritize envenom window uptime?

sin/outlaw*

earnest pilot
#

why is the opener garrote rupture garrote?

#

whats the point of double garrote. surely its not as much dps as a mutilate?

unreal fog
#

Extended duration does more than a single cast of muti

earnest pilot
#

ah ok.

stone fable
#

For AoE using CT do you use that before rupture on open?

merry orbit
#

@prime stirrup when you fok with 3x dd?

prime stirrup
#

5 or more

#

you fok at 5 or more with 1xDD

distant halo
prime stirrup
#

Would only FoK to apply poisons then go back into muts

merry orbit
#

Okey, thanks, but i'm theory on m+ do i event want to have dd? Some tyra kr or sth?

prime stirrup
#

I wouldnt go DD in m+ unless your SS/eb gear is shit

wild mural
#

@distant halo pretty sure default talents are MA Ss sucks without Subterfuge

prime stirrup
#

im using 375 head piece with ss/eb over 400 NP/DD

merry orbit
#

@prime stirrup yes i know it's why i'm asking, but i forget about ripping, it's big change tho

distant halo
#

Ahh right I forgot there was another ss on the list, thanks for that

merry orbit
#

It makes aoe dungeon even from kr

prime stirrup
#

Its all about your comp though

distant halo
#

I still have no idea why my sim for single target is telling me to take blightborne infusion over NP both at their first stack, for pure single and cleave. Any thoughts?

prime stirrup
#

if youre just pugging keys then fucking yolo it for the meters and go full ss/eb + ct

merry orbit
#

Yea but even with 3x ss and 3x eb single is quite nice

prime stirrup
#

If you have a comp that has huge aoe and lacks ST dmg then adjust accordingly

merry orbit
#

With exa ofc

prime stirrup
#

your burst is nice with SS, after that your ST tanks into the group

#

ground*

merry orbit
#

Kinda true, so can play single target raid talents with nice aoe group

wild mural
#

@distant halo not sure man my sim has me running MaA; 3xDD w/ an NP and Blightborne. I don’t question it I trust the Sim

earnest pilot
#

when i open on aoe pulls i should garrote them all before applying rupture right

distant halo
#

I just thought that first trait of no would be rated so high though

prime stirrup
#

20kdps on a 2min cd isnt that great

#

20k dmg*

merry orbit
#

@earnest pilot yes 3x garrote ct garotte or not and then fok rupture but not more than 4 max i belive? Ct = Crimson tempest

distant halo
#

Would anyone be kind enough to have a look at my sim before I choose traits?

prime stirrup
#

I race changed to NE so i can abuse SS mechs in m+

earnest pilot
#

ct?

prime stirrup
#

so worth

earnest pilot
#

ah ty'

distant halo
#

apparently the third ss isnt even worth for cleave add

earnest pilot
#

should i be taking ct? guide says poison bomb

distant halo
#

im really scratching my head over this

prime stirrup
#

how

#

did you sim at 25k with shit gear

#

wtf

distant halo
#

It’s cleave

wild mural
#

Find it hard to believe you’re gemming all Crit for ST

distant halo
#

The second one

prime stirrup
#

oh, add cleave sims

distant halo
#

Nah that’s just mainly for dungeons I’m building a raid set now

merry orbit
#

@earnest pilot not 100% sure about its the best best option but its pretty much that way.
Dont know what are you reading but in general you wanna play ct on m+

distant halo
#

I don’t get how that one stack of blight is supposed to be better than the first NP or DD is better than 3rd ss for cleave

candid mica
#

just play outlaw in m+

#

4Head

merry orbit
#

Sth like tyra week on kr is better to play poison bomb ofc

wild mural
#

Because NP is underwhelming

candid mica
#

that's wrong mieta

earnest pilot
#

@merry orbit ok and in your previous comment not more than 4 max what

candid mica
#

because of reaping i can guarantee ct is better

distant halo
#

i thought that first stack of NP was supposed to be awesome

prime stirrup
#

yeah i wouldnt take PB

earnest pilot
#

& its fine if i overcap my combo points while garroting ?

candid mica
#

unless you're running with like

distant halo
#

i still dont get hows its telling me the thrid stack of SS isnt worth taking even on a cleave sim

candid mica
#

a havoc and an outlaw rogue

prime stirrup
#

made. NP gives you small energy regen and 20k dmg

candid mica
#

you should be ct in kr

prime stirrup
#

on a 2min cd

#

how is that good?

distant halo
#

I thought that would allow you to drop more haste for better burst windows to, although i have never used it

#

im still questioning the SS part of that sim and i have no idea why its saying one stack of blight is better

prime stirrup
#

because blight procs 4 times a minute

woeful citrus

wild mural
#

Add cleave is you’re cleaving off a boss

merry orbit
#

@candid mica yes mate i always forget its not 1st season xd

wild mural
#

You still have a priority focus

#

Which is why it gives you the DD and not the SS prolly

distant halo
#

would it be safer to take the SS assuming it would be better in any situation bar pure single?

wild mural
#

I mean you vanish once every 2 mins

#

You multilate a lot

#

You tell me p

distant halo
#

but allot of these raid fights do have multiple adds

#

and at this point i should probably swap over to Exang now

wild mural
#

A lot of it is pad

distant halo
#

i guess im just trying to understand whats happening with these numbers so i can educate myself more

wicked sluice
#

If I have to choose SS or EB for a ring, which do I choose?

distant halo
#

yeah you are right, thanks allot for the info and help @wild mural

robust lake
#

probably depends on your other gear and what youre gearing foe

for*

dull osprey
#

How do I sim other enchants/gems? I have a feeling I need to swap my haste out with mast

#

raidbots.com top gear lets you sim every possible enchant combination

yeah i love that tool so much

#

😮

wide bolt
#

Yea raidbots is one of my favorite toys to mess with when I'm bored

thorn crypt
strange python
#

Its not the end of the world at that level of play, no.

#

But there is a dps difference ofc having the enchant on "wrong" weapon.

spice surge
#

It literally has no impact on which weapon has which enchant

#

But you want your highest ilvl in the main hand

copper kestrel
#

Is there a way to see the rotation used to sim in raidbots?

spice surge
#

Yes, press "Full HTML report" to the right, scroll down to "action priority list" and then press "Sample sequence table"

thorn crypt
#

Ok, thanks guys ^^

copper kestrel
#

Thanks!

dull osprey
#

Man.... If I want to really min max gems I'm gonna have to pay for a sub... not enough iterations available lol

spice surge
#

Gems arent overly important anyway, we're talking like 15 simdps difference

dull osprey
#

ah gotcha

#

I guess the main reason I'm only simming at 17.7k at 388 ilvl is my shite trinkets and meh azerite traits

stoic rover
#

can u still cloak block on jaina?

spice sorrel
#

Don't think so

#

no

rigid mango
#

I don't see the alch trink on bloodmallet, does anyone know how good it is at, per say 400?

spice surge
#

Its there

#

You just have to scroll down a lot to find it

rigid mango
#

Oh I was searching for the 400 one

#

It's just the 370 one with upgrades

spice surge
#

?

#

They're exactly the same

^^

Not name wise

I control F'd the 400

And couldn't find it, but it has a diff name to the 370 one

supple compass

does ss still not sim properly

spice surge
#

Wdym

#

When hasnt SS simmed properly?

supple compass
#

wait does ss just actually sim like shit on patchwerk then

real bay
#

nope

spice surge
#

Look at herodamage and not bloodmallet

#

and look for the subterfuge icon, because SS will sim like shit if you're using master assassin

strange python
#

HELP

#

Rezans Fury or Twist of the Knife

#

Bloodmallet says rezan is higher but its also saying the mutilate apply venom one is best which i dont think is right

timid cradle
#

so I have 3x echoing blade / 3x scent of blood, should I still go for crimson tempest, or is hidden blades a viable option?

#

I tried nightstalker + hidden blades for a bit and the burst is pretty insane, but idk if its really worth it

#

for mythic + of course

polar cape
#

Unless pack instant rip you pick tempest

timid cradle
#

I mean, in tyra weeks it feels as if everything gets shredded before I get good usage out of tempest

#

but that might just be that our tank is a bit spasticated and we can't really push past 13-14

robust lake
#

i feel like echoingblades and hidden blades have anti synergy tbh

timid cradle
#

Im pretty sure hidden blades works on the extra fans from echo though

#

seemed like it did, anyway

robust lake
#

if thats so im wrong

chilly marsh
#

so where people is using their m+ coins ? chests ?

robust lake
#

what

timid cradle
#

either way, Im probably better off going 1x SS, 2x Echo, 3x scent

#

with crimson tempest and subterfuge

#

wanted to try out 3x echo with hidden and nightstalker for the stupid high burst, but it doesnt really seem worth it

#

I was hitting like 300k with one fan

robust lake
#

its worth trying imo. i actually like hb in reaping tbh

dapper moat
#

M+ coins???

robust lake
#

most of the mobs like insta die

dapper moat
#

Residuum?

chilly marsh
#

im using 2x echo 2SS and enginner head sbterfuge + PB and doing 90-98% logs

robust lake
#

but maybe i just run very aoe heavy

chilly marsh
#

never used CT

timid cradle
#

yea the problem I had was that I felt pretty restricted in the 40-60s before reap

chilly marsh
#

like spaming Fok more

robust lake
#

ct is underwhelming for me but i also dont have optimal azerite yet

timid cradle
#

like doing no damage cuz I have to save HB stacks for reap is pretty sad

chilly marsh
#

yes hiisi residuum what is the best buy ? think i will go for chest

robust lake
#

eh its like 1 mob before and my job is usually tunneling down high value people while rest of my team

#

chest for sure like 5/6 are decent

#

altho i have a good helm and good shoulders drop off jadefire

chilly marsh
#

yes also mythic bis only from the mekktork or whatever si his name

robust lake
#

so only a matter of time of those

#

yeah was gonna say chest is from mekka

#

so like itll be a while

chilly marsh
#

yea

#

chest for sure then

timid cradle
#

is shoulder or head better to buy if you already got chest tho

robust lake
#

idk i got engi helm so im not too worried on it

chilly marsh
#

shoulder wil be next

robust lake
#

which boss drops the helm again? its low priority for me

chilly marsh
#

i can make 415 eng head this week if i dont drop it today from mythics clean

#

robust lake
#

yeah i guess shoulders next then

chilly marsh
#

1 boss bis head 2° biss shoulder

#

chest 6° boss

#

if you drop of course

robust lake
#

oh ur ally arent you :P

chilly marsh
#

yes

robust lake
#

i was gonna say im pretty sure its third haha

#

but also im garbage at that i need to check loot journal every damn time

chilly marsh
#

downlaod addon BIS

vestal wren
#

we used it its decent

#

not sure if super good

chilly marsh
#

its good but could have profiles

vestal wren
#

(i dont like bis lists in general)

chilly marsh
#

i usee the normal drops as AOE setup

#

mythic as ST

#

and heroic for cleave

#

only way to sabe multiple bis lists

#

its good for knowing what m+ to do for famring or where usign coins

#

after playing every day you kinda remember what loots you need : )

What dungeon should i farm for daggers, currenlty have 3 outlaw rogues in my guild and i wanna swap to assasination to secure my mythic spot

marble hemlock
#

underrot/tol dagor

#

crit/haste and crit/mastery daggers respectively

#

shrine is crit/vers and atal is haste/vers, so not as optimal due to the vers on them

#

and KR has haste/mastery, probably the best choice

#

since it also drops plumage

chilly thunder
#

Already got a 410 plumage

robust lake
#

id spam td, they'realways looking for rogues

chilly thunder
#

Im currently specced for outlaw so not a lot of mastery is that a problem or should i be looking for more mastery gear aswell

robust lake
#

sim yo self. :) for me its haste >crit>mastery>vers=agi

chilly thunder
#

Alright, will do

rustic ether
#

any pins for variable oscilating mekkatorque trinket?

chilly thunder
#

Currently at 17 dungeons and no weapon drop

robust lake
#

check voldun emissary unsure if dame cross server

#

but it droped a pretty good weapon for me tbh

chilly thunder
#

Yeah got a 385 out of it

#

assa requires 2 daggers rigth? not same with outlaw who can use 1 dagger 1 sword

dark crag
#

I warforged to 395 and it went directly into the vendor

robust lake
#

yeah two daggers

#

when did assassination start being called sin and not mut

#

its haste/mastery not bad

buoyant stream
#

I’m assuming there’s no way to unlock the bottom trait for kingslayrr?

rustic ether
#

any nelf rogues around here who have a shadowmeld macro? if i use a basic macro like
/cast shadowmeld
/cast stealth
then it puts my stealth on gcd and rips me out of stealth again

robust lake
#

im not a night elf normally but I am for 3 bosses. what is the point of that

#

instead of just going into stealth

summer valve
#

you can shadowmeld in combat

#

for a pseudovanish in m+

#

doesn't work on boss encounters

robust lake
#

oh i got excited for a minute

#

still useless to me then

summer valve
#

yeah no free extra vanish in raids or on m+ bosses lol

#

would be more broken than it already is

robust lake
#

i mean that would be good

#

hardly seems broken but im also usually a troll

#

i feel weak af when i race swap in bod

summer valve
#

also @rustic ether try changing the second line to /cast !stealth

#

i'm not a nelf but that should prevent you from breaking stealth even if you mash

#

alternatively don't mash too fast :p

rustic ether
#

@robust lake do you run with any SS traits in raid?

robust lake
#

i wish, i got garbage azerite

rustic ether
#

ah damn

grizzled trail
#

hi guys. i have always played exsang on sin but now looking at logs toxic blade seems to be way to go. i know its to be used on cooldown however should i dump combo points if i have 5 prior to using it or overcap combo points with the toxic blade?

robust lake
#

worst luck

rustic ether
#

well even in boss combat if you have shrouded suffocation, you can shadowmeld and get the extra cp and dmg. you just wont get the subterfuge dmg boost so its worth it but not like huge priority

robust lake
#

mostly dd and one dagger in the back lol

#

oh really? great once i get it ill keep it in mind

rustic ether
#

@grizzled trail even if you have 5 cp just use toxic blade and then 5cp env

#

@grizzled trail also with toxic blade make sure you are pooling a ton of energy to make sure youre getting at least 2 envenoms in each TB

robust lake
#

i have to stand still before garroting i assume?

rustic ether
#

yeah it takes a little bit of restraint because you have to stop, shadowmeld, garrote. LOL

grizzled trail
#

@rustic ether great, opener feels slow cause im so used to exsang but ill have abit of practice on it

#

thanks

rustic ether
#

took me awhile to get used to it and even now i sometimes mess it up and get a 1cp garrote

robust lake
#

i actually dont move much

rustic ether
#

@grizzled trail opener def. feels slower, with tb your rotation is a lot slower and hitting in smaller windows more akin to sub

robust lake
#

unless theres a mechanic to dodge. i just hate people running into my /range for fights that need it

#

also remember is on target so dont use it something that will die before buff runs out generally

#

or on the second fight of shrine before a rune

#

man thats the worst feeling

#

You actually can use shadowmeld on a boss to apply a garrote with SS on it (it will also give you 3 combo points), but it won't have subterfuge bonus. It gives a little more value to SS for night elfs

robust lake
#

thats exactly what they said

#

like exactly

night vale
#

Was playing my rogue tonight... noticed a few times I vanished and went to apply garotte... and it wouldn’t cast garotte? I had to press mutilate to leave vanish then it would let me garotte???

robust lake
#

was it on cd

night vale
#

Nope

robust lake
#

dunno then

rustic ether
#

@night vale ive had that issue. your garrotemight have been on cd, but when you vanish for some reaosn it doesnt show it being on cd.

robust lake
#

this is true

#

but he says it was not on cd

#

my guess hes wrong

rustic ether
#

i assume thats because he sees it isnt on cd

night vale
#

Ah could be something like that! Cause I have a weakaura so maybe it just didn’t show it as being on cd but it actually was

robust lake
#

yeah when in stealth it doesnt show up as cd, but id think a wa would show it

#

depends how its written i guess

night vale
#

Yeah it’s just a standard WA to show the garotte icon and it’s cooldown, really basic.

It looked like it wasn’t on CD and I was spamming the button and it just wasn’t doing anything. Odd I’ll keep and eye on it and see if I can replicate it on a target dummy and fix it 😃

should be easy to replicate just garrote vanish check wa

#

is there a different oppener for 3 double dose, no SS?

spice surge
#

Double dose has zero impact on your ST rotation

#

All openers are in the ravenholdt guide

robust lake
#

i mean its different than having ss

#

but not than like not having dd

rough halo
#

cause i've seen a couple of logs with people oppening with DD during the stealth window, as oppose to using garrote

warm geode
#

herodungeon is a good sim for aoe with EB?

#

to know what is best for EB

civic palm
#

A couple of logs is 18 too few to mater.

and people have been opening with Mutilate for a long time now.

robust lake
#

yeah that was the way to go in cata

#

410 vers mastery bracers how sad

maybe earlier

i dont think its best but its not gonna change your logs so dramatically it will make you parse bad

rough halo
#

yeah but i've been using 2-3 SS for a while, and this isn't cata.. So i wondered if there was a different opener

spice surge
#

All openers are explicitly written in the ravenholdt guide

robust lake
#

its different than the ss opener because youre probanly running a different talent

rough halo
#

okay, so "no there isn't" ?

robust lake
#

facepalm

spice surge
#

Compared to running with SS, yes

#

Its different

#

Just check the guide

would you choose Twist the knife over Dagger in the back since the SIMS are basically 100% behind the target

I would atleast

So it's not so hard to farm it

idk depends. like engineering is pretty pricy to level

#

if youre not rolling in money and clearly youre not at world first level its kind of like ehhh

#

what stats should i prior? crit?

#

simulation dont use a good rotation for EB aoe

strange python
#

vers/mas

round harbor
#

????

sturdy python
#

Why would Sims not use a good rotation for eb?

#

Unless you're simming like 15 mobs

round harbor
#

Vers mas sounds big wrong

robust lake
#

increase number of targets

#

to something reasonable

sturdy python
#

Anyways, crit is important with eb

round harbor
#

Crit vers is eb build I believe

warm geode
round harbor
#

Don't quote me on that though

robust lake
#

when would you need a purely eb build though. you have to balance between trash and bosses or am i very misguided

warm geode
#

i have 3 ss for ST to

#

so prob something around crit/hast i was thinking

robust lake
#

yeah so the stats for that should matter youd think

#

is m+ gear , the set the i was showing

this isnt what we use to simc for m+?

Just wanted to make sure. Double Dose is simming higher than shrouded for me by about 1.2% difference. However, on Herodamage it shows that's its top spot for single target? Is it not simming correctly?

opal or emerald, i cant remember

#

its normal so fast

supple hearth
#

Not emerald

#

If people checked pins they'd realize the answer is already pinned

#

😜

robust lake
#

wait why not emerald tho

#

i see it says opal but like whats the reasoning

proven wasp
#

when you get stung by a scorpion and still manage to get a 98 parse on a fight

supple hearth
#

Only need emerald if you struggle with p1 DPS. Otherwise opal and Ruby outperforms.

robust lake
#

i guess im not seing how

rancid bobcat
#

giggle what are you doing here

supple hearth
#

@rancid bobcat no u

rancid bobcat
#

do you even play

robust lake
#

wait how many adds spawn exactly

idle ember
#

Ruby you're just the stacking bitch though right?

robust lake
#

it true

#

but rogues have easy way to apply it

#

probably one of the best classes to do it

idle ember
#

Ive always been assigned it, along with the DH. Just assume I'll never get a competitive parse.

tough whale
#

p much every guild puts rogue as ruby bitch

#

if youre lucky enough NOT to be ruby bitch

#

opal > emerald

rose wagon
#

Mastery simming highest again 🙄

robust lake
#

perks of being raid lead i put dh on ruby

#

they deserve it ok

tough whale
#

feels bad, if they eye beam or fel barrage as the only ruby the stacks fall off

#

&yeah my mastery is like 2.87 :sigh:

unreal fog

Is that the same narokuu that played league agesss ago?

sand otter
#

been my gamer tag since everquest in 1999

unreal fog
#

recognize the name xxiizdeathxx perhaps?

tough whale
#

just looking at Grong alone

#

You had vanish / vendetta so far apart

#

and then you never re-vanished

#

on the kill

#

W/ shrouded suff and Subterfuge thats a massive loss

sand otter
#

yeah i remember that name xxxizdeath

tough whale
#

If youre saving vanish for the add i wouldn't, it doesnt get full value

sand otter
#

and ok Justice thanks, i really ahve to work on this

#

im really about to give up and just be a healer

tough whale
#

i dont like to shill myself out but i have tons of vods of different buidls of rogues, if you have any Q's about openers, builds, talents, etc, let me know

sand otter
#

been palying this toon for 10 years and im just garbage lol

tough whale
#

It's pretty simple when you realize what does damage and what doesnt do damage

#

how to open, how to use CD's, how to maximize

sand otter
#

i even went to the extent of using GSE sequencer

#

and Max DPS plugin

tough whale
#

I hate sequencers, they dont really allocate for the playstyle one needs

sand otter
#

just so i can benefit the raid more

tough whale
#

They just look at whats available

sand otter
#

maybe my interface is too much

#

hard time tracking whats what

#

idk

unreal fog
#

Sorry ive gone off topic as fuck just weird to see someone i have not seen in ages your best bet is one of the pinned guides if they are still up there

#

a few in depth guides on rotations etc

#

other than that its just tim

sand otter
#

hey if there is a vieo that actually gives good info ill watch and learn

tough whale
#

Its pretty straightforward, just practice and look at other peoples logs to compare casts, uptimes, buff useage, cd useages

sand otter
#

but between simming, icy veins and WoWhead im getting 3 diferent stories

tough whale
#

ravenholdt > icy

#

also depends on your azerite, talents, stats

sand otter
#

i did good last tier... well "good"

tough whale
#

Good is relative, as long as you paly at the level you enjoy, that's all that matters

sand otter
#

got AotC with the guild and was decent. but im just getting frustrated lol

#

there is a windwalker monk in the guild pressing 2 buttons and doing 35k

tough whale
#

Its more than 2 buttons for sure man

sand otter
#

hes using a sequencer

tough whale
#

dont let other classes and their balance affect how you play

sand otter
#

its why i say that lol

tough whale
#

I benched myself for our reclear of M conclave so if you need to ask q's or something lmk

sand otter
#

our guild doestn do mythic

tough whale
#

nothing wrong with that

sand otter
#

we just raid tue/thur 9-11 to get herioc AoTc

#

i just want to get better for myself

tough whale
#

We can help you with that

sand otter
#

Justice UI makes me so confusd i cant tell if he has tons of macros or just random stuff on his bars haha

#

man my OCD is sooo bad

tough whale
#

I have quite a few extra buttons

proud prawn
#

Silly question but just want to make sure:
Shadowmeld has no offensive advantage / place in a rotation right? It doesn’t proc subterfuge. Does it get extra garrote damage from SS? Wanna make sure I’m not missing something that the tooltips leave out.

sand otter
#

i see that haha

tough whale
#

dont use shadowmeld

sand otter
#

My UI

#

targeting myself

#

i ahve weak auras, probably should learn it better so i can maintain Cds and buffs

quick ice
#

@proud prawn it gives the bonus damage from SS, but not subterfuge

hollow turtle

woeful oriole
#

so... all my pieces azerite gear is post 8.1 but it's all ilvl 390... how do I decide which to get the rando 415?!

quick ice
#

choose the one you think you're A) most likely to get a good piece from and B) not going to replace quickly from raid

woeful oriole
#

that's actually really good advice

#

We're only 3/8H so probably chest piece then since the good treacherous one drops off mekkatorque.

smoky fiber
#

well, also first two bosses drop best head/shoulder piece

#

so yeah probably chest is the safest

#

for both outlaw/assassination

quick ice
#

also it'll let you trade the grong chest, which is BiS for other people

#

its what I did, fwiw

tough whale
#

roll chest if youre assa

#

cause grong chest sucks

#

and mekka is a devcent ways in

#

helm/shoulders are replaced quickly because beastly ones drop from jadefire / champions

quick ice
#

plus there's only one not-really-good chest (for ST) from residuum

#

and its got EB/SS so its perfect for M+

tough whale
#

i got DD / NP

quick ice
#

spymaster? me too

tough whale
#

Yea

#

so ive been doing dazar prog with 3x dd / 1x np 1x Bargain 1x engi trait

#

I am a single target only machine

tacit wolf
#

anyone have an armory of their M+ sin build? curious

tough whale
#

Depends on weeks

tacit wolf
#

typically are you running multiple EB?

tough whale
#

Usually no, many EB gain lots of value on say, fort weeks, but usually if youre just looking to maximize youd play outlaw w/ wits

#

look at group comp / affixes, the more AOE you need the more EB gains value

tall basalt
#

how big of an impact is venomous wounds?

tall knot
#

think hidden blades worth taking for M+ ? poison bomb does like 2% of my damage , running 2 eb,2ss

tough whale
#

venomous is big big

#

massive energy regen

tall basalt
#

yeah, im playing a rogue for the first time since cata

tough whale
#

id take CT > for most keys

tall basalt
#

and im totally dropping the ball on dps

tough whale
#

Its similar to old rogue

#

just multidot w/ poisons

#

2targets with bleeds = 2x energy regen

#

3tar = 3x

#

etc

#

sorry shitty responses we're pulling mekka

tall basalt
#

all g 😄

#

should i worry about using envenom? or just stick to ruptire

tough whale
#

Multi-bleeding is big

opaque tree
#

guys, best gem to grab on opulance?

#

errr

sturdy python
#

Opal

tough whale
#

opal if youre not on ruby duty

tired shell
#

New to assassin spec...how many targets minimum do you use fan of knives on for mythic +. When doe s it become not worth with echoing traits

harsh goblet
#

can we vanish off coin shower

#

on opulence

jaunty crystal
#

tfw on ruby duty 😦

harsh goblet
#

I dont want to be sacrificed to the jewish god of gold

tough whale
#

wouldnt risk

#

just bop it

#

vanish is enough damage where you dont wanna use it to cheese

#

either feint it under raid / run out and bop it

harsh carbon
#

What gem does Assass usually take on Op?

tough whale
#

Usually? red. If youre not a red slave take opal.

#

Opal > emerald.

ornate gazelle
#

Do we want ruby or opal for biggest boss damage on Opulence?

tough whale
#

ruby is not a personal dps upgrade

#

so opal

steep obsidian
#

i mean rogues stack the ruby debuff pretty fast

#

you might be assigned to do bitch job

stone fable
#

so TB sims higher than Exang, but my dps is almost 1k higher when I whack on a target dummy with Exang. Is there a trick to TB I'm not aware of ??

steep obsidian
#

other then using it on cd and trying to fit as many envenoms into the debuff as possible no

lone junco
#

@stone fable the vanish rounds are huge. and it doesnt capture well on a dummy

ornate gazelle
#

You might have PvP talents ticking on the dummy as well.

lone junco
#

got new shoulders and went up like 1200dps. hooray for 3DD

ornate gazelle
#

System Shock and/or Creeping Venom

bleak spoke
#

98 parse on HC rasta, 68 ilevel, but i sim worse than ppl like 2 brackets under somehow ;-;

smoky fiber
#

were u above? or on bwonsamdi

bleak spoke
#

err i meant mekka ffs

#

was 90 on rasta, was above, but there was a lot of dead ppl

harsh carbon
#

I sim better w/3 double dose and no shrouded suffocation, but I do 1k less dps without it. What could I be doing wrong?

prisma carbon
#

are you simming patchwerk?

#

patchwerk assumes 1 target so you can't vanish garrote multiple targets

safe matrix
#

You could also be doing your rotation non optimally if you're more familiar with SS

prisma carbon
#

yeah that too

#

no SS has a different opener

safe matrix
#

so you gotta post them logs big boy 👀

#

maybe someone can take a look through them

patent topaz
#

triple DD = 10%+ of damage done

#

crits for a ton during TB

#

friendship ended with ss now dd is my new best friend

prisma carbon
#

tfw i sim higher with 400 shoulders over the 415 ones i bought with residuum besad

real bay
#

buying shoulders yikes

harsh carbon
#

The first is my Jadefire (best attempt) w/shrouded. Second is without

real bay
#

With my luck I'll get the worst azerite possible

bleak spoke
#

@harsh carbon hard to compare those given one lasted 2 minutes longer than the other :x

harsh carbon
#

Yeah...I uh...I had also assumed that might have something to do with it

fallow cypress
#

We want Champion helm, jadefire shoulders and mekka chest right?

prisma carbon
#

yes

raven mica
#

for ST in raid, yes.

#

For M+ you want the freehold shoulders, Conclave/waycrest chest, and Shrine helm

tall basalt
#

so i swapped from subterfuge to master assassin, and my stealth has randomly been dropping ever since

#

and it's not like i'm getting spotted by mobs, my stealth just drops

#

even when i'm just walking around

safe matrix
#

maybe a trinket is pulling you out of stealth

#

if you have it macrod into something

tall basalt
#

nope

#

dont have any trinkets equipped lol

real bay
#

maybe a bugged azerite trait? lol

tall basalt
#

no azerites

#

im lvl 44

quick ice
#

That's really weird then

opal meadow
#

for boots do we just target farm m+ until we get lucky from jaina? feelskindabad

tall basalt
#

if i double rupture a target, do they stack?

real bay
#

you overwrite it to max duration based on pandemic and cps
