Everyone
Ok, still have no idea how to create a M+ set. I see what people are saying here, but none of the SIMS reflect that (for me). I don't have the option of 3SS+3EB and I'm flipping between using Dungeon Slice and some sort of 5 Boss Patchwerk (for 40 seconds). TTK always sims lower than SoB or SS. Any thoughts? Linking the SIM in case people are curious (not saying it's the right SIM to do) https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/RdbMABbVcws6dxz18kcjn
for mythic you want more than 2 ruby, and rogue are usually the candidates for it ๐
Makes sense for mythic yeah
ofc for your personal DPS opal is better
ofc ttk is gonna sim lower than sob or ss, because its a single target trait
and youre simming for aoe
Question, i have KR trinket. When do i pop it in the opener garrot > rupture > garrot > trinket vendeta but that way it doesnt empower my garrot only rupture or should i do it before for second garrot?
So better to take TTK then to boost ST dps for M+? Would you recommend taking TTK over DD?
Since we're spending more time using FoK?
@haughty sand it will empower everything while its active, vendetta is dinamic and doesnt snapshot
same thing with the trinket
Well I would run a M+ and then redo it and just change traits but it is way to expensive ๐ I duuno what I wanna get as traits ๐ lol
hm is it only for me or will mst go up drastical? ( CritRating=2.77, Agility=2.1, HasteRating=2.95, MasteryRating=3.03, Versatility=2.55 )
Ss
3x?
Ya think so
That would be a ton of aoe
Could go dd for more boss dmg but only consider on tyran
3 ss 3 eb is insane
Would you recommend 2SS 2TTK 1EB 1SoB over 2SS 3SoB 1EB? (For M+)
2SS 3SoB 1EB, imo
@serene basin yea? Hmm ok, was scrolling up and people were talking about TTK being good for M+. Now i have no idea ๐
I guess it really depends on the level of the key, your composition, and if you're looking to push / or complete casually too
TTK is great for single target, and on tyrannical weeks will provide more value (on the bosses) over SoB
In higher keys, where the mobs have more health, +fortified & teeming, and you have to deal with reaping
SoB synergizes insanely well with EB
TTK isnt for the ST, its for the priority damage funnel
Ok, thank you guys for the info ๐
Mekkatorque M broken on anyone else?
ive got 3x dead shot with a 385 helm with ds and tc on it
or i could use a 400 helm with keep your wits and ace
mainly do m+ would you swap it out?
yeah just noticed my bad
๐
does feint work on tantrum or do you have to talent it
From my experience it appears to help
yeah im just not sure of the mechanics, someone said feint only works on aoe ground effects and not direct aoe dmg
Im pretty sure feint helps. Feinted a 4 stack in heroic and it looked like i took significantly less dmg than the rest of the raid. Unconfirmed but pretty sure it worked
It does work
ok thanks
anyone here actually have 3 ss 3 eb to play with? lol
On herodamage for az traits, SS is rated highest with sub + exs, does anyone know where it rates with sub + tb instead?
Anyone do log checks, I'm not great at reading them
Feel like I'm doing good but probably some mistakes
Within 2%
Anyone know if you hold TB for a vendetta with MA at all
Thanks man
Ya true
Since as long as your tb has 11 or less seconds cd left when you vendetta you get the full benefit of it
can you get 3ss and 3eb from just dungeons or would i have to raid to get that kind of setup?
Opal is best gem on Opulence, right?
Yeah it is
considering how log agility sims for us
is normal stat food better than feasts?
also im a panda if it matters
depends on your stat weights
if your haste was valued at 2.9, but agility 2.1, yeah you'd use haste food.
if (secondary stat weight) * 75 > (agility) * 100, then use the secondary stat food
I haven't been able to find much info on engy goggle. Any opinions?
of course, since you probably generated your stat weights from a ST sim
this would result in a minor gain for ST and might be a loss for multi target
as far as are they worth to craft?
they are solid in mythic+, but since our BiS 415 helm comes from mythic champions - the very first boss, which is much more easily puggable than even mythic taloc was, i don't personally see the value
Hello! I am wondering if i should open with Garrote > Rupture > Garrote > Exsanguinate. Or if I want to use Exsang on a 5 cp Rupture instead. How would my opener be then? I have 3 SS traits .
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
Openers for all talents/traits are in there
ah, didnt notice it was updated, thanks alot!!
Hey guys. I see alot of Rogues use Galecallers boon atm
I am farming this thing for a damn while now(since season 1 xD)
and was wondering, how much of a burst difference this trinkets makes in the opener
wich gem should i take @opulence?
Opal, 1 person needs to take ruby as well
Opal if you have 3+ add waves
Emerald if you have 2 or less
Gcb is bis trinket. You can sim it even if you dont have one to see the increase it would give you @hushed maple
opal always opal
If u only get 1 add phase emerald
sicne I am the only rogue in my guild
I am the ruby guy
xD
and I stack to the boss allday
idk how the opal looks and i always get the wrong one ๐
and FoK onto adds
Make the fury warriors and hunters do it
we barely got 2 add waves on hc, opal felt kinda bad, boss died right after 2nd
emerald you get the 30% damage much faster
fuuToday at 20:21
Opal if you have 3+ add waves
Emerald if you have 2 or less
Is accurate
and suffer silently like a real rogue
mythic or hc?
iirc we had 3 last week but we had also some ppl die on ๐ฅ
also a quite significant damage stop on melee site due to that
I still donโt understand why FOK/Echo Blade doesnโt hit/proc off explosive orbs... whatโs the logic behind this?
yes, the reasoning behind it is that you cant cleave them passively
If you could just aoe explosive it would be a free affix. The point of affixes is to change the way you approach the dungeon
The point of affixes is to make everyone not run more then one until an easy mode push week arrives. *fixed
at least they are tuned down now
i thought the aim was to populate balance druids in m+ , as if you had one in the group he did orbs solo
idk if you recall, but you wouldnt be able to kill one, with a single mutilate before
trying to get any orbs as sin felt like a big oof b4
Nah. Thats what hunters are for @vestal wren
@serene basin tfw your mw says "dw about explosive, i got em"
๐ฆ "we dont deserve mistweavers"

re: explosive orb's not getting hit by fok - orbs are totens and immune to AoE (outside of chain effects as of a recent (maybe a month old now) update)
I think outlaws Bladeflurry hits it, tho
I did my first explosive key as outlaw last night
I dont think it does but i wasnt extensively testing it
No it doesnt. U can only blade flurry off the orb
pistol shot one times it
blade flurry does hit everything around it if you target the orb though
^
Aka ST the orb and cleave off it
yup
idk if you have a start attack macro sin isnt bad with orbs
which you should because
you know its bad not to
i dont have it on--
yeah that
dh eye beam hitting it is the biggest bs of all time
Just play OL if explosive is a problem
yeah if they tab while they eyebeam to it
it just hits it
so they just eyebeam and lazy tab to it
wow subtlety.

!ct
There is no specific week or affix that makes one or the other more viable.
CT vs PB is mainly down to your group, the dungeon itself and your pull sizes, with PB naturally having an edge in boss fights.
It's mainly the combination of affixes and dungeons that favour one or the other. High Tyr KR/Temple favour PB in general, due to low pulls and harder bosses.
In terms of Exsang vs TB; Exsang wins since it works well with SS traits and it's only 1 global on your priority target for some burst damage and extra energy.
TB usually locks you to that target to gain the most out of it.
ty
No stun removal works on iceblocks
@rich linden PB is typically the play explosive week because your spending mutilates on orbs which makes you fall way behind on energy/cp and makes it difficult to really be efficient with CT
ah i see
but i assume packs that are 4+, CT will always just do more damage?
obviously when it comes to that, explosives come first, so i see why PB is better for explosive week.
Thoughts on Kimbul Trinket, i feel like it's so lack luster
Guess this has been asked a million times but can't seem to find it in the guide.
Which combo of azerite ttraits are we going for 1. PvE and 2. PvP?
not really a million times since it is in the guide but okay http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/#azerite
there's is also blood mallet or herodamage for your viewing
raibots as a tool for you to sim as well

How can I put a calecallers boon into my sim?
I dont own one
would love to, tho
*galecallers
You just type in the name of the item and it's desired item level/rolls
ah nice thanks
is there any point in vanishing to refresh garrote if not using subterfuge?
I dont think so
i wasn't sure if it was even worth the extra crit from master assasin to vanish
well that surely is
Vanish with full CP and good Enrgy level
then Envenom
and use the Master Assassin timer for mutilating/Envenom
oh yea i get that, i meant like, with master assassin if i had to wait to
yea i kinda answered my own question, ty though
^^
When you time it just right to vendetta envenom spam into conclave but get liquid gold everytime
when you just keep getting liquid gold then get coin shower at the very end
feelsbadman
doing like 100SotS runs since m+ start and never getting galecallers over 340
feelsbadman
I know them feels my first gc was m0 farm before uldir ๐ that said my 2nd one was today 405 so wooo pog
You know freehold? You know the dice? You want it? Run with me, you will drop it
should i sim my stat weights for patchwerk or the dungeon slice thing?
Not played for a few months, but is the addon "AzeritePowerWeights" still a thing?
How come you are waiting? At dummy? Usually there is no queue
Just keep mashing your rotation
He's waiting for cds to come back up..
It's good for your rotation training
He's practicing just opener
Then reset for opener.
I get that but like might as well make the most of the CD reset
@hushed maple you can queue for arena skrims, will reset your cds
Or you can do that
any high m+ people on?
eye roll
Lol, depends what you consider high keys
I do 15s religiously unless I'm selling. But I don't think 15s are high anymore
never went higher than 13 :C
Thats why i asked to specify :p. If 15s are high then there's a ton of us in here doing high keys
Looking for an avid double dose master assassin player to dm some questions. Curious about energy pooling. For instance before having DD I would pool energy before refreshing a rupture to get more attacks off inside elaborate planning. But if I do that with DD I notice I miss opportunities to Mut during envenom buff. Basically looking to find out the nuances I'll need to know to maximize DD dmg
any assassination experts able to help with a very specific question?
it was answered sorry :/
how dare you
40 seconds vs 5minutes ๐
its not supposed to be a dmg-off here xD
It's like using a measuring tape with a scewed scale ๐
so werid.... I thought gale is such a ncie trinket
*weird
Thats my shitty current DPS :C
new to rogue, wowanalyzer said I am wasting combo points generated by mutilate, I assume this is in reference to when I use mutilate when I have 4 combo points, should I instead cast a 4 cp envenom?
Yes
yup
what about a 4 cp rupture?
thats fine
ahh thanks
dungeon slice sim says i should drop CT for poison bomb
is that reasonable this week especially
fuck no
dungeon slice doesnt account for reaping or teeming or big pulls
its actually a lot of ST still
redid my azerite traits for EB because guildies complaining i dont do enough AoE in m+
i hate reforging azerite, shit's gonna bankrupt me
- i make everyone invisible and 2. i melt bosses leave me alone
Just swapped from outlaw, is CT the go to for M+ with reaping? What about tyr weeks?
Also, did they fix garrote reverting to non-empowered dmg on all if you apply a non-empowered one?
Or is that still a thing
With eb, i just go pb all day now
does the opal buff stack up off of Fan of Knives or do you I need to single target the Gold adds?
okay
MA sims better for me with DD over SS and Subterfuge. Does MA lose value once another target comes on the scene?
You should pop galecallers just before exsanguinate right?
If they are up at the same time yes
should you wait on GCB to use the second ex or just ex on cd generally?
-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```
From the pins
neat! sorry ๐
guys, does Wowanalyzer work well with rogues logs? (i'm trying to improve all 3 specs)
I noticed it got updated the other day. Itโs pretty nifty. Wouldnโt hurt to check it out.
ok thx
how do you guys sim a mythic grong fight? 2 boss cleave add?
more looks like jadefire masters...
so how many ilvls is 1 socket worth for you guys :x
wtf
got those bracers 410 clean out of weekly
395 socket is 4% upgrade going by stat weights
so over 15 ilvls per socket
Lots of people Sim higher with it
mastery is my top simming stat
Especially with multiple DD's mastery is very strong
I wouldnt be suprised if you simmed higher with NP instead of tc on your helm btw
and I already got a fuckton of crit/haste
I just ran a top gear sim with all combinations on both weapons and that's what came out on top by a bit
anyone knows why bownsamdi doesnt work at 50% on mythic ppl are not going back to live in the fight
is there a guide for simming? like... do azerite pieces, then trinkets, then rings and so on?
sim everything except azerite first
go for bloodmallets data for that
sim every item by itself
Wtf no ?!
then do sockets/enchants with those
Stop
then sim best gear with azerite
Azerit change stats !
I always sim traits first
but obviously limited number of iterations, wondered if there was some clever process people where using
simming traits is most likely useless anyway
pls what
cause there wont be rarely insanely many traits avaiable to pick ^^
if you have a gear with DD trait you probably should take that
for ST
Did CT turn in to shit in the 4 months I missed?
CT?
Crimson Tempest
you mean crimson Tempest?
!ct
There is no specific week or affix that makes one or the other more viable.
CT vs PB is mainly down to your group, the dungeon itself and your pull sizes, with PB naturally having an edge in boss fights.
It's mainly the combination of affixes and dungeons that favour one or the other. High Tyr KR/Temple favour PB in general, due to low pulls and harder bosses.
In terms of Exsang vs TB; Exsang wins since it works well with SS traits and it's only 1 global on your priority target for some burst damage and extra energy.
TB usually locks you to that target to gain the most out of it.
Well that's too bad I guess.
"Lost snapshotted Garrote due to early refreshes" - is that because i'm refreshing before the 30% window?
says 6.58% next to it, if that helps (from wowanalyze)
Snapshotted refers to subterfuge
I assume it means you are refreshing subterfuged garrotes with regular ones
ohhhh yeah potentially
we wait until the subgarrote is just about to drop before we refresh, right? not the 5.4 seconds?
no 5.4 works
well that's what i'm doing - so i don't understand the snapshotting thing ๐ค
The only time, you dont want to override is, when you play Exhanguinate
then the dot has to run out
No let it run all the way out if it was exsangd or subterfuged
subterfuge/TB
how come i cant see that auction dude everyone is standing around in boralus
you don't have engineering?
exactly the same as it was in Dalaran
O.o
Well. whatever. I told you shit actually about the refresh
I forgot, that you do Vanish after pull @5.4remaining
after vanish you dont refresh it tho, until it runs out ^^
You want to let your initial garrote from stealth opener run all the way to zero before you vanish and re-garrote
riiiight. okay I've probably been messing that up on the second vanish in a fight
nono I mean that, because Nerkul wrote, you also let your first garrote run out ^^
Yeah do your vanish when the first garrote is done or you lose the 5.4 empowered seconds (assuming single target and subterfuged)
If it helps there's a couple auras in here that show the remaining duration on garrote and rupture and will highlight differently if they were empowered:
Assassination specific auras, builds on NerkulRogueGeneral - https://wago.io/uEHQxOSdc
oh I've got one - thanks bro, I must have just messed up on the one fight because of whatever reason, it was just that one log that looked a little suspect
is there a way to set details in Dummy mode?
I cant do a proper opener, since vanish resets everything
fuck being ruby bitch on opulence lol
cus some shit mythic guide said rogues have good uptime so they'll stack the gem high
Well the ruby applies via autoattacks
it does not
no
IT DOES!
It applies on AA and abilities
it ONLY applies from pressed abilities
that is inaccurate
dafuq
I'm 100% certain auto attacks do not apply it
it was not applying from my autos
mental breakdown, everybody
prove me wrong
in game
no tooltips
or logs
logs are fine*
did it today
there's no way it would ever run out if autoattacks applied it
Runs out if u gotta drop pools twice in a row
it never run out for me
well you can do throw poison knife
Unless you have more than 1 ruby then itll never run out
it simply applies by auto attacks
N
Y
it had good time on heroic with just me having it but lel heroic dun even need to move that far
dont know
in mythic we had the hunters doing it rip them
unless it's diferent on mythic I'm completly sure my autoattack did not apply any stacks
only reason stack number went up is cause another user of the ruby used abilities on it
In my guild(we succ) I am the ruby sloot. I had 160stacks on the boss
noone else, besides me
has the ruby
it simply does stack via AA
it's 1 application per second it also drops off rather quick someone else correct me if I'm wrong
so as long as you are hitting the boss it'll apply 1 stack per second abilities or not
ah no 5
well if you do dmg every second(dot ticks dont count)
assa?
I was playing my sin rogue
what difficulty?
why is lfr wing 2 not out yet
gating my lfr logs blizz cmon
was doing it on mythic tonight and I am absolutely sure that the buff on my target ran out while I was alone at it and was not using a resource costing ability on it every 1.5 seconds or however long it lasts
which was not possible alone at some points due to energy restraints
Ruby buff application is shared amongst all other ruby players to buff the raid
you must be trolling hardcore
and no AA does not add a stack
the ruby buff lasts 5 seconds
definitely not 5 secs
what difficulty are you talking about
thast for heroic
just tried the API sequence table, it's saying to rupture during the first mutt/evenom rotation after openner, and just garrote twice after vanish. is that accurate for the sim? (sorry to derail from ruby bants)
if that was correct then dot dmg would count too no?
myth has 2.5sec
dot dmg is repeated dmg from the same spell ID
so no
it has to be unique
and an AA is unique
Dot damage does not add a tick
as I said, yes
k
but you should get a range or 2 to take ruby we were trying 3 rogues for a while
why 3
a couple of times getting that rng when liquid gold goes on 2 rogues
because on mythic first few liquid gold are dropped really far away
one person simply cannot handle the stack by themselves
either way my point stands, melee auto attacks do not add stacks in mythic difficulty
We do rogue, hunter, dk and ret for animus buff on mythic. Need a ranged in case all melee get gold. The hunter can still give stack running out with gold
what I brought it up for originally was that assa rogues are dogshit for it
as we do the least amount of actions because of high energy costs
outlaw is sick
assa is not
yet rogues are forced on it by raid leaders cus rogues have "high uptime and do lots of attacks"
which is bullshit
and I don't wanna do shit dmg cus I'm forced to carry some red shart around
just tell your raid lead that most rogues cleared it concur that 1 rogue is enough, then fill the rest with ranged lol
guys - sorry to interject, how accurate is the API from simming? it's showing some weird things :S

If your guild struggles on a 2 mechanic fight like opulence you have more yikers moments to worry about =P
to me it is
wouldn't struggle if they put the correct specs on their correct role
s
the API is telling me to rupter after toxic blade... is that as mad as I think it is?
rupture*
3rd TB for reference
prolly don't want to beusing a bleed during TB uptime no
Itโs because in the APL, there was enough time to refresh rupture so it doesnโt fall off, and get envenoms in the TB window before it expires.
Thats what I though
But I read somewhere that trinkets aren't buffed by abils but idk
dont know that
true
So did blizz critically undertune trinkets again for agi users? I have a 400 kimbul's and a 405 yu'lons and they're just so bad
although I guess yu'lons could be good in M+
Ah, as assassination it does so little
I tried out yu'lons on rasta and it was doing about 56k every min 30
use bloodmallet.com
the mekk trink is actually really good from the new raid
Kimbul's is alright... the yu'lon one though is kind of bad
Yu'lon feels terrible, but I really want to try it on reaping and see how hard it hits
in any case i probably won't be needing to worry about trinkets from the new raid too much as i have a 400 dice and a 410 dead eye spyglass ๐
rip I'm using 400 dice and 380 gcb
what is gcb
if i wanted to be an arcane mage, i would roll an arcane mage
im also not a huge fan of on use trinkets in general
I love on use trinkets
the one i have is from SoB
until the tank pulls them out of it and I cry in my wasted buff
I am a horrible person. my gf bought me the Corsair scimitar pro rgb for christmas.....
my fucking
I still didnt try to get used to it
So on mythic jadefire did anyone run into the problem with the multi constantly disappearing graphically?>
few of our raiders had that issue, not sure what's causing it tho
I'd just play around with graphic settings tbh
but its like the entire raid
Cool.... I just got Yulon's and the Gigavolt....
any handy macros so I'm not flailing about clicking things?
beats me, it was fine for me before could be a bug or something and your guild stumbeld on it lol
I mean theres more then one reason why we cant kill it but that whole graphic disappearing for everyone is kinda an issue though
Hi there, im just wondering if there is anyone that would be up for helping me with some kind critisism from my gameplay. I am parsing gray and green mainly and starting to feel pretty bad about it and ive been using the analyzer to take notes on where i can improve but i would really appreciate some input. Ive been following the new guides on the site as well. I can send armory/logs to someone willing to help. Just @ me here or send me a pm please. Thanks in advance. If this isnt allowed please remove
you can post logs here and someone will go over them, if you are grey parsing there is likely something fundamentally wrong
I have been over lapping my garrote which i know is very very wrong now
I will hop on my pc and post some i wasnt sure of the etiquette here and i already know im not v good 
id be happy to look over em a bit ๐
So TB is used on cd even if the next finisher needed is a rupt?
Trying to get my parses out of the blue
kinda
should i post my armory or specific fights?
specific fight s if you can
okie
preff something like grong
@dull osprey when youre using TB
you want to pool a ton of energy
so YES you can spam TB on cd BUT if you cannot get two envenoms in the TB window, its prolly not worth
Oh wait, so there IS pooling in sin?
i just recently swapped from outlaw so any and all tips are welcome
thats literally all sin does
I've been told otherwise so I've been spamming
FAK
yeah sin is NOWHERE near a GCD locked class
so pool for TB
its one of the LOWEST APM specs in the game IF NOT THE LOWEST
@ancient tide one sec checking now
much appreciated! i want to try and take some more logs this week and improve any way i can
@ancient tide this is my first time checking logs so it wont be expert level analysys but i will say your TB windows are off
your first TB is 10 seconds into the pull when that should basically be popped within 1 Global of vendetta
yeah i just seen your above comment " BUT if you cannot get two envenoms in the TB window, its prolly not worth" relatable to my gameplay as well
here is my most recent grong kill
@ancient tide if youre not running Exsanguinate, theres no reason to be pandemic applying your rupture
UNLESS you are target switching and you get the chance
okie
i have a wa that i keep up and just try and reapply as they fall off, besides garrote
youre double rupturing on the adds where they die almost instantly so if youre applying a 30 second dot and the add dies in 10 seconds youre only geting 1/3 of that dmg
if you can help it, you should really only be applying a very small rupture on those adds and a single garrote on the add that spawns
that would probably explain why i feel so energy starved sometimes.
if you look at rupture the damage doesnt actually change the more cp you use
so on fights with adds am i okay with garrote then FoN?
so a 1cp rupture is literally the same as a 5 cp rupture
the only difference is that the rupture is applied for much longer
fan of knives?
whats FoN lol
no you wont want to be using fan of knives basically ever on this fight
i also see youre using poisoned knife on grongg, im guessing when youre running form the add to him, i wouldnt do that unless youre capped on energy and dont have shadowstep
poisoned knife does almost no dmg and is only useful if youre enrergy capped and unable to hit anyhting
sorry i should have been more specific i guess i was meaning with adds in general bc of how much im using rupture. and sounds good on the poisoned knife i was just trying to keep dps on something lol.
another thing i see is that right before your second vendetta you used toxic blade so you only got 3 or 4 seconds worth of that damage
The opener with SS is also wrong and you should probably go exang. But youโll have to sim your talents to see the best result, Nugs.
Hey , got Sots haste trinket. I macro it with vendetta for high burst. Question. Delay TBlade to line it up with trinket for more burst window or go everything on cd?
@open reef iim not an expert, but i would spam toxic blade unless its like <8 seconds on cd
@open reef i know that the GCB has a pin somewhere that says you should spam GCB on cd until like the third vendetta, youll have to find it
Thank you @elfin fossil , do i just change the talent and then sim on the site? sorry im fairly new to simming myself.
@ancient tide for your vendetta you dont NEED to get toxic blade right when you pop vendetta but you need to make sure that you get one in the window so if you use it right before vendetta, you cant get one even in the end of the vendetta window
that looks like a lot of damage loss, ill be sure to highlight that im taking notes lol
@ancient tide yeah just go to raidbots, pick talent compare, choose talent builds you want to sim, and then sim
@ancient tide now i dont want to think im belittling you here but i need to make this your biggest takeaway from this
@ancient tide You donโt need to change talentโs in game, you can sim them directly on raidbots. I also see on your last Grong log that you didnโt apply rupture until 8 seconds in. Your main prio is to get bleeds up asap, since you get energy from venomous wounds.
your rupture and garrote uptime is A B Y S M A L
^
Get a weakaura and track them so they never run out.
And plan accordingly with energy pooling so you always have CP/energy for garr/rup
when you know the add is coming, try to do that pandemic rupture on grong, so its still ticking when you get back from the add
i do have one for garrote, rupture and envenom. i think my problem is cp/energy management to keep them up when they should be
rupture and garrote IDEALLY should literally have 100% uptime
even on two target cleave you can have 100% uptime on two targets
but generally your opener (with SS trait and exang) should be: garr > rup > garr > vendetta > mutilate > rup > exang
i will try and fix that first then @rustic ether , and @elfin fossil looks like i sim just -.6 with exsang
Then go with whatever youโre more comfortable with
when i get another SS trait is that when i should go for exsang? or maybe i am misthinking, i thought i read that somewhere/.
if i dont botch my opener i have written down garr > rup > garr > vendetta > tb > env >mutilate for cp >envenom >vanish > garr
@uneven kestrel its not really a concrete moment to do it, its just that when your sims DO tell you to switch to exsanguinate, thats normally the point it happens
The opener for TB is then: Garrote
Rupture
Garrote
Vendetta
Toxic Blade
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote twice
You just need to practice the opener, and maintaining your bleeds and youโll see@an improvement.
how do i see someones azerite powers from a log? ๐ค
ive moved some abilities around from what they were last week to make adjustments to my rotation from what it was, i think i just need to apply more and practice. because i think a big part of it is also im getting tunneled in mechanics and lose my attack rhythm
yeah theres no need to be focusing on dmg
I just checked his armory @rustic ether
when youre running TB, and TB and vendetta are on cd, youre entire priority is 1. survive 2. keep bleeds 3. not overcap energy
when TB is on 10 seconds cooldown is when i actually focus on shit
i make sure my bleeds are good and i make sure ill have energy for the EXACT moment TB comes off cd
should i create a macro for my trinkets? they are both on use right now. and ive been just using them with tb as they come off cf
cd
Can if one is vigor iirc
Variable and Kezan, and even if i cant do them together i meant with another ability maybe
the kexan trinket i would be macroing it to vendetta
thought you would still need to use it once out side of vendetta
as for the variable tirnket i would really try to change that tirnket out as its not too good for ST
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/59X6ffpwJpcwJnKuzYtPCR
anyone got an idea as to why i might be simming so low? is it just raw gear or do you guys see any specific deficit in my setup?
Ok another question : im talented with MA have no Ss traits do I vanish -> envenom?
for ST? sorry?
toxic blade - vanish 5 cp envenom 2x mutilate
i believe
or 1 mutilate envenom if u get lucky and 4 cp
@open reef with MA you want to pool a bit of energy, get max cp, vanish, envenom, mutilate, and envenom
and yes if you run TB you want tb right before vanish
@ancient tide Single Target
@uneven kestrel The variable tirnket is really good for Aoe but its not the best for ST
ohh alright
@ancient tide oh shit ive been pinging another guy just named nug sometimes LMFAO
sorry @uneven kestrel
lmao oops!
i dont have another trinket to swap out at the moment but its good to know!
i appreciate yall taking the time to look. i dont want to be shit forever.
@ancient tide np! always looking to better people, and as someone who isnt the best its always good to teach others as ive even gotten a bit of information myself because you made me think โค
@scenic wraith whats the non spec specific trait instead of scent on your chest?
scent is NORMALLY worse than most other traits for single target
i will be back with some more logs soon, hopefully improvement!
bonded souls
@scenic wraith cough
move along
@scenic wraith secondary offensive traits are a deceptively strong traits and youre missing 1 because your neck isnt high enough for shoulders, that will be a couple hundred dps right away
yeah i have overwhelming power on my shoulders, yet to unlock tho
@scenic wraith i doubt it would be lower dps, but have you simmed the double NP versus one NP and one Twist the knife? stacking NP has less value
@scenic wraith but as far as it looks, your dps is decent, theres nothing painfully obvious like vers stacking or something youre missing
i apologize but im off to bed, glhf!
ok ive had a couple people tell me that Treacherous Covenant is one of the best azerite traits atm for assassination but im not really seeing how ....
it's good
but should i take that over SS or double dose?
especially if atm im stacking SS x3
theyre pretty close, it's a sim thing
ugh simming....i loathe simming more than i do logging out of WOW
i guess im going to have to give a shot LOL and stay over 50% HP .......
Have faith in your healers!
well ....i guess if i was using that trait it would help me to not stand in front of bosses....my guildies give me hell about that ( even tho i dont always mean to ) but im just trying to help out and bring back rogue tanking
only healer i have faith in with my guild is the one who always sends me boxes to unlock for him lol
so stupid question, does shrouded suffocation increase the damage per tick by 800 or is it the overall damage?
Is it normal for my mastery to sim quite a bit higher than my other stats? I've got it simming at 2.5 with haste at 2.32 and crit at 2.28. Just transitioning from outlaw and am wondering if that seems correct since it seems far off from the normal stat values.
ticks, also the increase is a lot higher with subterfuge
im stacking SS x3 atm and i think mines ticking for like 8k with subterfuge
i could be mistaken however
lol wtf are your stats
388 lol
398 or something 35%mast
I personally just got into rogue so
Don't know what average ticks for garrote should look like
i wonder what my ticks would be if i used the talent from the legion shoulders with SSx3
then you lose subterfuge which almost doubles garrote dmg
true and i dont actually remember what the tooltip for the other talent even says anymore
SS and subterfuge is da way , just feels smooth
didn't realize how much of my damage was garrote
Hello guys. I bought 415 chest and got 2 items from the raid. Is SS good for Single target with TB? I played with SS since release but now my best pieces are 2x DD, 2x Trecherous Covenant and NP/Blightborne Infusion.
is vanish into TB is the way to go or just some wierd apl thing ?
with MA
yes
one of the ways to do it
does subterfuge increase damage on all garrotes or just the ones from stealth?
Hey guys for what percent of haste you aim for that the spec feels smoothly?
aparently raidbot says me to go mastery/crit once I get 16%
but tbh there is never too much haste so
@bitter rock just cast from stealth get 80%
okay
If I have no Shrouded Suffocation powers should I go Master Assassin than Subterfuge?
yup
I play without SS and I simmed with and without MA. O.2% better with MA, some 60 dps increase.
subterfuge sims better for me even without any SS...
52 DPS on Patchwork
The moment a second target is involved it'll easily outshine
Id stick to subt.
how good is the engineering helm?
Free 415 he with his traits on it
What more do you need to know
Bus*
Jesus, bis
I mean, doesnโt the BoD helm outshine it anyway?
Itโs from the first boss too
Yeah, but it's free
yeah i have the BoD mythic helm already
Me too.
And people like me have bad eng and no helm from champions
Then the Engi helm is pretty meh. Decent for M+ though
Hey how many mobs do you guys try to DOT on big pulls? All of them or a handful and start fanning and kinda dotting in between
?
At least 3
do i need to have engineering to use it? or can i learn engineering, craft it, then "forget" engineering and still use it?
Thatโs what Iโve been trying to do
Maintain 3 rup/g with 100% uptime
you need to have engineering to keep it on @zenith gust
Everything else is a bonus
I think 5 ruptures is = to infinite energy
That sounds about right
But its late and I could be wrong
Okay. Iโve been back and forth between Assassin and outlaw and the rng for outlaw is a bit much for me so Iโm back to assasin
engi helm is decent, champions helm was 130 dps increase for me though
At a certain point you just canโt spend all the energy your dots generate
Itโs mega
Yeah thatโs true. Still learning the, like, hidden mechanics of it and the caps
Thereโs a lot of unwritten stuff yeah. Doesnโt take too long to get the hang of it
Learn mechanics, curb stomp meters, get nerfed. Rogue life
Yeah Iโve always been outlaw/combat with assas sprinkled in so but as good as the cleave is with outlaw 6rolling the the shit buff isnโt as fun
Yeah sin is just extremely consistent. You want results? Play assassination
Assa is way to go. Simple and deadly AF
playstyle fits the name tbh, we are cold blooded relaxed killers
Plus itโs only like 4 main buttons lol
Then, when u get into it, u start learning those small tips and tricks and it becomes so nice. I started in NH and I will never switch from my rogue. subtlety if assa drops. If both will be bad ill stop rather than Outlaw.
If they ever switch back to a slice and dice based outlaw Iโd go back. I liked that but itโs such a downgrade now it sucks
Is there a cap of how many targets you should be rupturing at once? I've heard only up to 3 if they live through it
I asked earlier and 3 was the general response. The energy regen is to fast to use at like 5
Alright, thanks
You want 3 with 100% uptime
how do you guys use EB on big packs, where one cast gives you 5 CPs (e.g. reaping)? it seems to me that damage seems higher if you FoK at least twice (and wasting CPs) instead of using the CPs to envenom every second global
since your envenom doesn't do like 50-70K (even with boosted DP procs after it it seems)
whats your reasoning for thinking that 2 FoKs do more dmg back to back than spaced between an Envenom
if anything your question should be is there a point where we ignore spenders and spam FoK
It is based on comp like we talking about yesterday. So I think FoK-CT spam is bad
yes, my question basically is, should I feel stupid for spending energy on builder instead of finisher if I see that it gives me more dps, but I guess it's a rethorical question:)
it's rather an observation
FoK + Maintaining CT then FoK Envenom onto the biggest mob the pack gives the biggest yield. I see most pugs for example handle reaping In a way where every mob is dead except for 3 big reaping adds standing casting Shadowstrike. Envenoming those is best, in my opinion. But ofc based on comp. If you have someone already doing that , no need for you to do it
my answer was moreso a theoretical one that talks about the highest dps output on mass aoe
assuming equal health targets or w/e
ofc you can answer every single question in this discord with "it depends" but that kinda defeats the purpose imo
Hey guys, quick question . Does master assasin buff rupture and garrote for the whole duration with 50%?
the whole duration of the 3 second MA:)
No
not the whole duration of the bleed
I mean Strayhand is right :)
is nothing personal simming correctly? because a 2nd treacherous covenant sims about 200 dmg higher than 1 Nothing personal for me.
https://gyazo.com/2e020b82aba86cb80dc6492c5cc11f3c going by this, 1 nothing personal should be worth a hell lot more than 2 treacherous
looks like 3 times more
Wat?
How is that 3x more?
Why does Ravenholdt guide for Sin with 1 Shrouded Suffocation tell us to Garrote right after setting up Rupture on the pull?
Doesn't the new Garrote remove the shroud buffed garrote?
nvm i retreat my comment, im actually disabled
Did u cut half the 2nd tc in screenshot?
@glacial shuttle Extended empowered garrote
@glacial shuttle G R G
How long can it cap out at?
With subterfuge, garrotes are empowered for the 1st 3 globals out of stealth
Anyone got an empowered garrote weakaura?

Can just delete what you dont want
"empowered weak", that's got to be normal then
Can someone help me point out the problems with my rotation? My ilvl % is low, I know DD and toxic blade build is stronger a little, but I like to do M+ so I have to use Ss/exsanguinate. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/1gxfFADjkZbtazYc/1gxfFADjkZbtazYc#fight=12,12&source=16,-2&type=damage-done&start=0,0&end=0,0
I actually use Luxthosโ setup, super thorough
And is it Garrote > Rupture > Vanish > Garrote to ensure it stays empowered?
No
No
You get 3 globals
First 3 globals you're still in subterfuge
Oh right
for 3 seconds it stays empowered because of subterfuge
Good point. I can't believe I wasn't capitalising on this.
Just make sure you time it right so you donโt muck up your garrote
Is Shrouded Suff. still really good with the poison build for this particular situation then?
SS + Subt is still very good regardless
and then you wait for it to expire and THEN vanish and garrote twice (inside the 3 global subterfuge window) again to get another long empowered garrote
Awesome. I wasn't extending the duration, so it's good for me to find something to improve upon.
So uh
I tried it
and my DPS was super low, though I know I did it how the guide said
Halfway through killing Opulence constructs I realised I didn't have my poisons up.
๐ ๐ ๐ Top plays.

you need a weakaura that reminds you to put on poisons

In Afenar's groups, why does Sub's one have an energy bar that glows purple?
Just figured it out, nvm.
It's when Shadow Dance is active.
guys, in rastakhan king fight, what should i do on adds phase? keep rupture and garrote on all adds then fok and envenom? or maybe just dot some then go single target on one of them? assuming i use TB and PB
Dot them up and ST right target but can always pad tho with fok
Ok guys I need your help here, been thinking for myself for a while but dont really know whats the best thing to do here. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hJPBW41DnmVdxxhjZsDWJE
So it is about azerite pieces, u can see my gear in the raidbots. The head is nothing to discuss about, but here is the thing, u see my chest and shoulders, I am for 3x DD and 3x TCC/NP, I have enought titan res to buy a new 415 piece, the chest I want drops of Mekkatorque which we wont have for a while in mythic, but we are farmin jadefire mythic where the shoulders drop. So should I gamble with titan res and buy chests till I get my DD + NP one which is 1/6 chance to get, and be patient to shoulders drop of jadefire, or should I just go for 415 shoulders now with titan res to boost up the pure 30 ilvl where I have 385 atm
I had same issue and bought the Chest
depends on if you need the extra ilvl right now
Also, the chest you want is actually the one with twist+dd, since it has overwhelming power
So its 2/6
Kept 385 shoulders and got hc ones very next reset
TBH if the shoulders did drop last raid for me on jade I would buy chest but now its dilema, patient or not
U will clear 3/9 many times before u reach Mekka
but as u say Eleem twist+dd with op is not bad either so y 2/6
Yes we will farm it like in the next 3-4 weeks
Thats how I thought about it and I bought 415 chest. Got NP/Blightborne Infusion ๐
I can fill in that I am doing +16 key every week so I can buy a new 415 piece every second week
Then go for Chest imo
As i said, depends on if you need the extra ilvl right now
And If u will do it now link what u got ๐
Wing it bro ๐
well my shoulders are really bad, feels like anything would be upgrade
Thats another pair of shoes then.
Easy pick then, u can buy a new 415 i 2 weeks so no biggie tbh
@brisk forge Easy pick u mean I should buy shoulders? ๐
ye Ohandza
but it doesnt drop ๐ฆ
fbm
Imo yeah why not ๐
and then in 2 weeks chest
and sit gamble chest till I get the one I need
smart
btw scraping a 370 azerite of m+0 is 12 titan res right?
ye
I got a chest with ruinous bolt... at least it has SS+EB so I use it in m+ ...
and another nothing this week from heroic
seriously, how are people over 400 ilevel? how?? fml
yea, its good for m+, but i wanted it for raid ๐ฆ
my gear is from m+
yeah, I'm doing that as well, always seeing my trinkets drop for someone else...
btw did they say anything official about master assa opener+
@summer marten imagine getting that chest and realizing that ur never gonna use it until you have a dedicated M+ set
No point tbh
It is Ttk that makes the aim that high? I have 3xDD and same ilvl and I don't sim that high
how much TR do you get from scrapping 415?
Like 360 or something
You get 365 residum, if that lets you buy another piece in the meantime for your raiding set
at what % should i sim TC?
Why wouldnt you
i got SS/NP chest.. kinda meh :/
@raven mica pretty much how it is for me. Next time i get 1725 residuum im going for chest again, it better not be same one
if i set TC uptime % at 60% i get this to sim highest, but if i set it at 70% uptime, then the equipped azerite sims higher, dont know what to do though... https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fvBL1oAEcN2CyTvUCXdgbB
dont think you can get the same one again
You can have like 90%+ uptime on TC though
in raids u will have 90%+ on TC
Even on a boss like M gโhuun, you still kept above 50% for like 90%
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
Anyone got the optimal way to go with master assa in opener? ๐
Yes, the guide in the pins explains it pretty well ๐
wowhead guide is a good alternative if you want more in detail one
but do u fit 2 evenoms in the crit boost?
I mena do u have time to after going vanish tb to pull of 2 evenoms before the master assa buff is over
You can only cast 3 spells while master assassin is up
y which means vanish evenoim almost garantuees me 2 evenoms
Ye but we talk with master assa here ๐
Oh, sry. Didnt scroll up far enough ๐
@rose perch do you do a mutilate then vanish tb to be sure u can cast of evenom instant
no it's fine to vanish tb mutilate envenom
the alternative would be vanish tb envenom mutilate
same buttons, different order
rather tb mut till 4+ then vanish env
yeah that's the alternative way to do it
but you open yourself up to the mut after that env not critting and feeling bad
not that it's a feelycraft argument i'm making
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/j5z7C9wYo4zGtw6eRChuGQ imagine being 406 and simming like actual garbage
