Ruby buff is only for those carrying ruby correct or does it assist the whole raid?

spice surge
#

Everyone

sturdy python
#

You want opal

#

Ruby is just necessary as a one or two off

sinful lotus
#

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

plain thistle
#

for mythic you want more than 2 ruby, and rogue are usually the candidates for it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

sturdy python
#

Makes sense for mythic yeah

plain thistle
#

ofc for your personal DPS opal is better

primal gazelle
#

ofc ttk is gonna sim lower than sob or ss, because its a single target trait

#

and youre simming for aoe

haughty sand
#

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?

sinful lotus
#

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?

primal gazelle
#

in that case sure

#

@haughty sand pop with vendetta because they both last 20 secs

plain thistle
#

@haughty sand it will empower everything while its active, vendetta is dinamic and doesnt snapshot

#

same thing with the trinket

strange python
#

Well I would run a M+ and then redo it and just change traits but it is way to expensive ๐Ÿ˜’ I duuno what I wanna get as traits ๐Ÿ˜› lol

cold patio
#

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 )

strange python
#

what are bis traits for m+?

#

3x echo blades and then?`

pastel vault
#

Ss

strange python
#

3x?

pastel vault
#

Ya think so

#

That would be a ton of aoe

#

Could go dd for more boss dmg but only consider on tyran

solid nova
#

3 ss 3 eb is insane

sinful lotus
#

Would you recommend 2SS 2TTK 1EB 1SoB over 2SS 3SoB 1EB? (For M+)

serene basin
#

2SS 3SoB 1EB, imo

sinful lotus
#

@serene basin yea? Hmm ok, was scrolling up and people were talking about TTK being good for M+. Now i have no idea ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

serene basin
#

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

spice surge
#

TTK isnt for the ST, its for the priority damage funnel

sinful lotus
#

Ok, thank you guys for the info ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

civic jay
#

Mekkatorque M broken on anyone else?

somber mortar
#

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?

plain thistle
somber mortar
#

yeah just noticed my bad

glacial grotto
#

does feint work on tantrum or do you have to talent it

scenic nacelle
#

From my experience it appears to help

civic palm
#

Tantrum is AoE?

glacial grotto
#

yeah im just not sure of the mechanics, someone said feint only works on aoe ground effects and not direct aoe dmg

hollow stone
#

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

ripe nimbus
#

It does work

glacial grotto
#

ok thanks

primal gazelle
#

anyone here actually have 3 ss 3 eb to play with? lol

glacial grotto
#

i have 3/2

#

its dank

wary ice
#

nabbed it from some top parser logs

rigid mango
#

On herodamage for az traits, SS is rated highest with sub + exs, does anyone know where it rates with sub + tb instead?

pastel vault
#

Anyone do log checks, I'm not great at reading them

#

Feel like I'm doing good but probably some mistakes

civic palm
#

Within 2%

pastel vault
#

Anyone know if you hold TB for a vendetta with MA at all

civic palm
rigid mango
#

Thanks man

spice surge
#

Well no @pastel vault

#

But you can hold vendetta for like 5 seconds

pastel vault
#

Ya true

spice surge
#

Since as long as your tb has 11 or less seconds cd left when you vendetta you get the full benefit of it

tacit wing
#

can you get 3ss and 3eb from just dungeons or would i have to raid to get that kind of setup?

sick cradle
#

Opal is best gem on Opulence, right?

rigid mango
#

Yeah it is

mighty elm
#

considering how log agility sims for us

#

is normal stat food better than feasts?

#

also im a panda if it matters

hollow junco
#

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

vast gale
#

I haven't been able to find much info on engy goggle. Any opinions?

hollow junco
#

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

vast gale
#

as far as are they worth to craft?

hollow junco
#

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

vast gale
#

gotcha, rng has

#

hasn't been kind to me in the last 2 weeks

sudden gale
#

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 .

#

ah, didnt notice it was updated, thanks alot!!

hushed maple
#

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

peak rune
#

wich gem should i take @opulence?

solid nova
#

Opal, 1 person needs to take ruby as well

vestal wren
#

Opal if you have 3+ add waves
Emerald if you have 2 or less

hollow stone
#

Gcb is bis trinket. You can sim it even if you dont have one to see the increase it would give you @hushed maple

soft cargo
#

which gem for sin reclear hc?

#

opulence

bleak spoke
#

opal always opal

ripe nimbus
#

If u only get 1 add phase emerald

hushed maple
#

sicne I am the only rogue in my guild

#

I am the ruby guy

#

xD

#

and I stack to the boss allday

simple meteor
#

idk how the opal looks and i always get the wrong one ๐Ÿ˜„

hushed maple
#

and FoK onto adds

ripe nimbus
#

Make the fury warriors and hunters do it

real bay
#

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

solid nova
#

fuuToday at 20:21
Opal if you have 3+ add waves
Emerald if you have 2 or less

#

Is accurate

amber arrow
#

take ruby

#

be a team player

vestal wren
#

and suffer silently like a real rogue

real bay
#

does anyone actually get more than 2 waves

#

outside mythic

vestal wren
#

mythic or hc?

#

iirc we had 3 last week but we had also some ppl die on ๐Ÿ”ฅ

#

also a quite significant damage stop on melee site due to that

stable pine
#

I still donโ€™t understand why FOK/Echo Blade doesnโ€™t hit/proc off explosive orbs... whatโ€™s the logic behind this?

real bay
#

no aoe hits them afaik

#

that would be too easy

#

indirect hits

vestal wren
#

yes, the reasoning behind it is that you cant cleave them passively

hollow stone
#

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

ripe nimbus
#

The point of affixes is to make everyone not run more then one until an easy mode push week arrives. *fixed

serene basin
#

at least they are tuned down now

vestal wren
#

i thought the aim was to populate balance druids in m+ , as if you had one in the group he did orbs solo

serene basin
#

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

hollow stone
#

Nah. Thats what hunters are for @vestal wren

hushed maple
#

Dh are the best orb killers by far

#

since they dont have to waste ressource for dmg

serene basin
#

true

#

but have you run with a god tier MW

hushed maple
#

whats MW

#

Mistweaver?

hollow stone
#

@serene basin tfw your mw says "dw about explosive, i got em"

serene basin
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ "we dont deserve mistweavers"

chilly dagger
#

does iron wire works on bosses?

#

nvm

#

i cant read D:

#

Outlaw is good at killing orbs too

#

Since you can just blade flurry of them

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)

hushed maple
#

I think outlaws Bladeflurry hits it, tho

wary ice
#

I did my first explosive key as outlaw last night

#

I dont think it does but i wasnt extensively testing it

ripe nimbus
#

No it doesnt. U can only blade flurry off the orb

atomic jolt
#

pistol shot one times it

wary ice
#

blade flurry does hit everything around it if you target the orb though

atomic jolt
#

^

ripe nimbus
#

Aka ST the orb and cleave off it

atomic jolt
#

yup

robust lake
#

idk if you have a start attack macro sin isnt bad with orbs

#

which you should because

#

you know its bad not to

real bay
#

thats like bound to all keys

#

except garrote lol

robust lake
#

i dont have it on--

#

yeah that

#

dh eye beam hitting it is the biggest bs of all time

hollow stone
#

Just play OL if explosive is a problem

real bay
#

what

#

dh ionsadhours

robust lake
#

yeah if they tab while they eyebeam to it

#

it just hits it

so they just eyebeam and lazy tab to it

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.

idle vigil
#

Anyone know if free action potion works on jaina still?

#

Or is it hotfized

hollow stone
#

No stun removal works on iceblocks

ruby idol
#

@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

rich linden
#

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.

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?

You just type in the name of the item and it's desired item level/rolls

hushed maple

ah nice thanks

harsh pebble
#

is there any point in vanishing to refresh garrote if not using subterfuge?

hushed maple
#

I dont think so

harsh pebble
#

i wasn't sure if it was even worth the extra crit from master assasin to vanish

hushed maple
#

well that surely is

#

Vanish with full CP and good Enrgy level

#

then Envenom

#

and use the Master Assassin timer for mutilating/Envenom

harsh pebble
#

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

Is there a software to train your opener?

Not played for a few months, but is the addon "AzeritePowerWeights" still a thing?

neon thunder
#

How come you are waiting? At dummy? Usually there is no queue

#

Just keep mashing your rotation

hollow stone
#

He's waiting for cds to come back up..

neon thunder
#

It's good for your rotation training

hollow stone
#

He's practicing just opener

neon thunder
#

Then reset for opener.

#

I get that but like might as well make the most of the CD reset

hollow stone
#

@hushed maple you can queue for arena skrims, will reset your cds

#

Or you can do that

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?

velvet willow
#

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?

shy dust
#

Yes

hushed maple
#

yup

shy dust
#

If not running Deeper Strat

#

finish at 4+

#

if running Deeper Strat finish at 5+

velvet willow

what about a 4 cp rupture?

shy dust
#

thats fine

spice surge
#

Rupture doesnt do less damage with less combo points

#

Only shorter duration

ohhhhh

see I come from feral

complete opposite lol

well not since 8.1 (for ferals)

pulsar coral

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

sand notch
#

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

#

okay

#

MA sims better for me with DD over SS and Subterfuge. Does MA lose value once another target comes on the scene?

sand notch
#

You should pop galecallers just before exsanguinate right?

spice surge
#

If they are up at the same time yes

sand notch
#

should you wait on GCB to use the second ex or just ex on cd generally?

spice surge
#
-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```

I wouldnt be suprised if you simmed higher with NP instead of tc on your helm btw

anyone knows why bownsamdi doesnt work at 50% on mythic ppl are not going back to live in the fight

rough halo
#

is there a guide for simming? like... do azerite pieces, then trinkets, then rings and so on?

hushed maple
#

sim everything except azerite first

#

go for bloodmallets data for that

#

sim every item by itself

onyx rock
#

Wtf no ?!

hushed maple
#

then do sockets/enchants with those

onyx rock
#

Stop

hushed maple
#

then sim best gear with azerite

onyx rock
#

Azerit change stats !

#

I always sim traits first

#

but obviously limited number of iterations, wondered if there was some clever process people where using

hushed maple
#

simming traits is most likely useless anyway

onyx rock
#

pls what

hushed maple
#

cause there wont be rarely insanely many traits avaiable to pick ^^

if you have a gear with DD trait you probably should take that

"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)

spice surge
#

Snapshotted refers to subterfuge

#

I assume it means you are refreshing subterfuged garrotes with regular ones

rough halo
#

ohhhh yeah potentially

#

we wait until the subgarrote is just about to drop before we refresh, right? not the 5.4 seconds?

hushed maple
#

no 5.4 works

well that's what i'm doing - so i don't understand the snapshotting thing ๐Ÿค”

The only time, you dont want to override is, when you play Exhanguinate

then the dot has to run out

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

you also let it run out there?

no just once

#

only 6%

#

was one fight, wondered what it could have been

nono I mean that, because Nerkul wrote, you also let your first garrote run out ^^

#

ohhh

#

yeah

trail bronze
#

Yeah do your vanish when the first garrote is done or you lose the 5.4 empowered seconds (assuming single target and subterfuged)

going lfr

#

right now

#

is it in lfr?

sand whale
#

it had good time on heroic with just me having it but lel heroic dun even need to move that far

hushed maple
#

dont know

sand whale
#

in mythic we had the hunters doing it rip them

rigid sonnet
#

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

hushed maple
#

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

sand whale
#

it's 1 application per second it also drops off rather quick someone else correct me if I'm wrong

hushed maple
#

7seconds or so

#

not really slow

sand whale
#

so as long as you are hitting the boss it'll apply 1 stack per second abilities or not

hushed maple
#

ah no 5

rigid sonnet
#

u got logs of that?

#

also what were you playying

hushed maple
#

well if you do dmg every second(dot ticks dont count)

rigid sonnet
#

assa?

hushed maple
#

I was playing my sin rogue

rigid sonnet
#

what difficulty?

hushed maple
#

with my druid, I had to do it, too

#

and I couldnt keep it stacked with moon/sunfire

rigid sonnet
#

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

hushed maple
#

so you couldnt keep a 5second dot up?

#

which just requires AA or an ability

#

yikes

scenic nacelle
#

Ruby buff application is shared amongst all other ruby players to buff the raid

rigid sonnet
#

it was absolutely not 5 seconds

#

was under 2 gcds

hushed maple
#

you must be trolling hardcore

scenic nacelle
#

and no AA does not add a stack

hushed maple
#

the ruby buff lasts 5 seconds

sand whale
#

definitely not 5 secs

rigid sonnet
#

what difficulty are you talking about

rigid sonnet
#

already said

#

that is extremely false

hushed maple
#

thast for heroic

rough halo
#

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)

rigid sonnet
#

if that was correct then dot dmg would count too no?

hushed maple
#

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

scenic nacelle
#

Dot damage does not add a tick

hushed maple
#

as I said, yes

scenic nacelle
#

it's a pressed ability so pressing rupture adds a stack

#

i was answering else

hushed maple
#

k

sand whale
#

but you should get a range or 2 to take ruby we were trying 3 rogues for a while

hushed maple
#

why 3

sand whale
#

a couple of times getting that rng when liquid gold goes on 2 rogues

hushed maple
#

the tick happens only once per second

#

why would you do 3 rogues

sand whale
#

because on mythic first few liquid gold are dropped really far away

#

one person simply cannot handle the stack by themselves

hushed maple
#

well do Druids, then

#

Starfall strong

rigid sonnet
#

either way my point stands, melee auto attacks do not add stacks in mythic difficulty

humble crane
#

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

rigid sonnet
#

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

sand whale
#

just tell your raid lead that most rogues cleared it concur that 1 rogue is enough, then fill the rest with ranged lol

rough halo
#

guys - sorry to interject, how accurate is the API from simming? it's showing some weird things :S

flint jetty
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
hushed maple
#

so getting big dmg is better then helping your guild clearing?

#

yikes

humble crane
#

If your guild struggles on a 2 mechanic fight like opulence you have more yikers moments to worry about =P

rigid sonnet
#

to me it is

#

wouldn't struggle if they put the correct specs on their correct role

#

s

rough halo
#

the API is telling me to rupter after toxic blade... is that as mad as I think it is?

#

rupture*

#

3rd TB for reference

rigid sonnet
#

prolly don't want to beusing a bleed during TB uptime no

eager haven
#

Itโ€™s because in the APL, there was enough time to refresh rupture so it doesnโ€™t fall off, and get envenoms in the TB window before it expires.

dull osprey
#

Does yulon's invocation get buffed by TB?

#

or Vendetta for that matter

#

RIP

hushed maple
#

well Tb buufs nature dmg

#

not poisons alone

#

^^

dull osprey
#

Thats what I though

#

But I read somewhere that trinkets aren't buffed by abils but idk

hushed maple
#

dont know that

dull osprey
#

true

light kestrel
#

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+

raven mica
#

Kimbul's

#

is mega bis for certain specs

#

namely Havoc and Outlaw

light kestrel
#

Ah, as assassination it does so little

#

I tried out yu'lons on rasta and it was doing about 56k every min 30

hushed maple
fleet whale
#

the mekk trink is actually really good from the new raid

hushed maple
fleet whale
#

Kimbul's is alright... the yu'lon one though is kind of bad

light kestrel
#

Yu'lon feels terrible, but I really want to try it on reaping and see how hard it hits

hushed maple
#

do it then

#

^^

fleet whale
#

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 ๐Ÿ˜›

light kestrel
#

rip I'm using 400 dice and 380 gcb

hushed maple
#

380 dice and dooms wake 375 :C

#

no gcb for me

#

only 340

fleet whale
#

what is gcb

hushed maple
#

galecacllrs boon

#

*callers

fleet whale
#

oh that one

#

well im kind of glad i don't have that trinket tbh

hushed maple
#

THE one

#

^^

fleet whale
#

if i wanted to be an arcane mage, i would roll an arcane mage

hushed maple
#

well exhang + gcb

#

is just stupidly strong

fleet whale
#

im also not a huge fan of on use trinkets in general

hushed maple
#

you have spyglass

#

thats not passive

fleet whale
#

that's not on use

#

youre thinking of the wq spyglass

light kestrel
#

I love on use trinkets

fleet whale
#

the one i have is from SoB

light kestrel
#

until the tank pulls them out of it and I cry in my wasted buff

hushed maple
#

I am a horrible person. my gf bought me the Corsair scimitar pro rgb for christmas.....

raven mica
#

my fucking

hushed maple
#

I still didnt try to get used to it

raven mica
#

co-rogue

#

was complaining about RNG cuz his envenoms werent critting

true viper
#

So on mythic jadefire did anyone run into the problem with the multi constantly disappearing graphically?>

sand whale
#

few of our raiders had that issue, not sure what's causing it tho

#

I'd just play around with graphic settings tbh

true viper
#

but its like the entire raid

dull osprey
#

Cool.... I just got Yulon's and the Gigavolt....

#

any handy macros so I'm not flailing about clicking things?

sand whale
#

beats me, it was fine for me before could be a bug or something and your guild stumbeld on it lol

true viper
#

I mean theres more then one reason why we cant kill it but that whole graphic disappearing for everyone is kinda an issue though

ancient tide
#

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 removenrageLURK

patent topaz
#

you can post logs here and someone will go over them, if you are grey parsing there is likely something fundamentally wrong

ancient tide
#

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 cahlaRIP

rustic ether
#

id be happy to look over em a bit ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

dull osprey
#

So TB is used on cd even if the next finisher needed is a rupt?

#

Trying to get my parses out of the blue

rustic ether
#

kinda

ancient tide
#

should i post my armory or specific fights?

rustic ether
#

specific fight s if you can

ancient tide
#

okie

rustic ether
#

preff something like grong

#

@dull osprey when youre using TB

#

you want to pool a ton of energy

rustic ether
#

so YES you can spam TB on cd BUT if you cannot get two envenoms in the TB window, its prolly not worth

dull osprey
#

Oh wait, so there IS pooling in sin?

rustic ether
#

oh god

#

yes

ancient tide
#

i just recently swapped from outlaw so any and all tips are welcome

rustic ether
#

thats literally all sin does

dull osprey
#

I've been told otherwise so I've been spamming

rustic ether
#

OH NO

#

lol

dull osprey
#

FAK

rustic ether
#

yeah sin is NOWHERE near a GCD locked class

dull osprey
#

so pool for TB

rustic ether
#

its one of the LOWEST APM specs in the game IF NOT THE LOWEST

#

@ancient tide one sec checking now

ancient tide
#

much appreciated! i want to try and take some more logs this week and improve any way i can

rustic ether
#

@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

ancient tide
#

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

rustic ether
#

@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

ancient tide
#

okie

#

i have a wa that i keep up and just try and reapply as they fall off, besides garrote

rustic ether
#

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

ancient tide
#

that would probably explain why i feel so energy starved sometimes.

rustic ether
#

if you look at rupture the damage doesnt actually change the more cp you use

ancient tide
#

so on fights with adds am i okay with garrote then FoN?

rustic ether
#

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

ancient tide
#

lol yeah sorry fan

#

oh rip i didnt realize that.

rustic ether
#

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

ancient tide
#

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.

rustic ether
#

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

elfin fossil
#

The opener with SS is also wrong and you should probably go exang. But youโ€™ll have to sim your talents to see the best result, Nugs.

open reef
#

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?

rustic ether
#

@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

ancient tide
#

Thank you @elfin fossil , do i just change the talent and then sim on the site? sorry im fairly new to simming myself.

rustic ether
#

@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

ancient tide
#

that looks like a lot of damage loss, ill be sure to highlight that im taking notes lol

rustic ether
#

@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

elfin fossil
#

@ancient tide You donโ€™t need to change talentโ€™s in game, you can sim them directly on raidbots. I also see on your last Grong log that you didnโ€™t apply rupture until 8 seconds in. Your main prio is to get bleeds up asap, since you get energy from venomous wounds.

rustic ether
#

your rupture and garrote uptime is A B Y S M A L

elfin fossil
#

^

#

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

rustic ether
#

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

ancient tide
#

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

rustic ether
#

rupture and garrote IDEALLY should literally have 100% uptime

#

even on two target cleave you can have 100% uptime on two targets

elfin fossil
#

but generally your opener (with SS trait and exang) should be: garr > rup > garr > vendetta > mutilate > rup > exang

ancient tide
#

i will try and fix that first then @rustic ether , and @elfin fossil looks like i sim just -.6 with exsang

elfin fossil
#

Then go with whatever youโ€™re more comfortable with

ancient tide
#

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

rustic ether
#

@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

elfin fossil
#

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 youโ€™ll see@an improvement.

rustic ether
#

how do i see someones azerite powers from a log? ๐Ÿค”

ancient tide
#

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

rustic ether
#

yeah theres no need to be focusing on dmg

elfin fossil
#

I just checked his armory @rustic ether

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

ancient tide
#

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

rustic ether
#

which trinkets?

#

the variable?

open reef
#

You cant click 2 x trinkets on use

#

In 1 macro

quick ice
#

Can if one is vigor iirc

ancient tide
#

Variable and Kezan, and even if i cant do them together i meant with another ability maybe

rustic ether
#

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

scenic wraith
open reef
#

Ok another question : im talented with MA have no Ss traits do I vanish -> envenom?

ancient tide
#

for ST? sorry?

scenic wraith
#

toxic blade - vanish 5 cp envenom 2x mutilate

#

i believe

#

or 1 mutilate envenom if u get lucky and 4 cp

rustic ether
#

@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

ancient tide
#

ohh alright

rustic ether
#

@ancient tide oh shit ive been pinging another guy just named nug sometimes LMFAO

#

sorry @uneven kestrel

ancient tide
#

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.

rustic ether
#

@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 โค

#

@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

ancient tide
#

i will be back with some more logs soon, hopefully improvement!

scenic wraith
#

bonded souls

rustic ether
#

@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

scenic wraith
#

yeah i have overwhelming power on my shoulders, yet to unlock tho

rustic ether
#

@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!

scarlet escarp
#

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 ....

real bay
#

it's good

rancid bobcat
#

it's lots of stats constantly on you

#

if you don't take damage

scarlet escarp
#

but should i take that over SS or double dose?

#

especially if atm im stacking SS x3

rancid bobcat
#

theyre pretty close, it's a sim thing

scarlet escarp
#

ugh simming....i loathe simming more than i do logging out of WOW

real bay
#

a single TC is worth like 750 dps for me

#

just stay over 50% hp ionsadhours

scarlet escarp
#

i guess im going to have to give a shot LOL and stay over 50% HP .......

quick ice
#

Have faith in your healers!

scarlet escarp
#

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

bitter rock
#

so stupid question, does shrouded suffocation increase the damage per tick by 800 or is it the overall damage?

summer onyx
#

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.

real bay
#

ticks, also the increase is a lot higher with subterfuge

scarlet escarp
#

im stacking SS x3 atm and i think mines ticking for like 8k with subterfuge

#

i could be mistaken however

real bay
#

ive had over 20k per tick

#

with 3

#

crits ofc

scarlet escarp
#

lol wtf are your stats

bitter rock
#

Wow

#

what ilvl

#

?

summer onyx
#

388 lol

real bay
#

398 or something 35%mast

bitter rock
#

I personally just got into rogue so

#

Don't know what average ticks for garrote should look like

scarlet escarp
#

i wonder what my ticks would be if i used the talent from the legion shoulders with SSx3

lament dove
#

then you lose subterfuge which almost doubles garrote dmg

scarlet escarp
#

true and i dont actually remember what the tooltip for the other talent even says anymore

real bay
#

SS and subterfuge is da way , just feels smooth

bitter rock
#

didn't realize how much of my damage was garrote

winter gale
#

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.

tribal marlin
#

is vanish into TB is the way to go or just some wierd apl thing ?

real bay
#

with MA

tribal marlin
#

yes

real bay
#

one of the ways to do it

bitter rock
#

does subterfuge increase damage on all garrotes or just the ones from stealth?

tribal inlet
#

Hey guys for what percent of haste you aim for that the spec feels smoothly?

tribal marlin
#

aparently raidbot says me to go mastery/crit once I get 16%

#

but tbh there is never too much haste so

real bay
#

@bitter rock just cast from stealth get 80%

bitter rock
#

okay

real bay
#

duration of subterfuge

#

so 3 garrotes

fierce pivot
#

If I have no Shrouded Suffocation powers should I go Master Assassin than Subterfuge?

hollow vine
#

yup

winter gale
#

I play without SS and I simmed with and without MA. O.2% better with MA, some 60 dps increase.

zenith gust
#

subterfuge sims better for me even without any SS...

winter gale
real bay
#

minimal difference for me

#

not worth the rng imo

solid nova
#

52 DPS on Patchwork

#

The moment a second target is involved it'll easily outshine

#

Id stick to subt.

winter gale
#

Yes, I agree @solid nova

#

Ill do that

#

I will also look to obtain one SS item

zenith gust
#

how good is the engineering helm?

round harbor
#

Free 415 he with his traits on it

#

What more do you need to know

#

Bus*

#

Jesus, bis

cerulean walrus
#

I mean, doesnโ€™t the BoD helm outshine it anyway?

#

Itโ€™s from the first boss too

round harbor
#

Yeah, but it's free

zenith gust
#

yeah i have the BoD mythic helm already

winter gale
#

Me too.

round harbor
#

And people like me have bad eng and no helm from champions

cerulean walrus
#

Then the Engi helm is pretty meh. Decent for M+ though

round harbor
#

It's also really really good for outlaw too

#

Worth making one

cerulean walrus
#

Yes. I use mine for Outlaw but this is Sin channel so

#

Gotta dodge Richard lmao

raw tusk
#

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

#

?

cerulean walrus
#

At least 3

zenith gust
#

do i need to have engineering to use it? or can i learn engineering, craft it, then "forget" engineering and still use it?

raw tusk
#

Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ve been trying to do

cerulean walrus
#

Maintain 3 rup/g with 100% uptime

rose perch
#

you need to have engineering to keep it on @zenith gust

cerulean walrus
#

Everything else is a bonus

round harbor
#

I think 5 ruptures is = to infinite energy

cerulean walrus
#

That sounds about right

round harbor
#

But its late and I could be wrong

raw tusk
#

Okay. Iโ€™ve been back and forth between Assassin and outlaw and the rng for outlaw is a bit much for me so Iโ€™m back to assasin

patent topaz
#

engi helm is decent, champions helm was 130 dps increase for me though

cerulean walrus
#

At a certain point you just canโ€™t spend all the energy your dots generate

#

Itโ€™s mega

raw tusk
#

Yeah thatโ€™s true. Still learning the, like, hidden mechanics of it and the caps

cerulean walrus
#

Thereโ€™s a lot of unwritten stuff yeah. Doesnโ€™t take too long to get the hang of it

#

Learn mechanics, curb stomp meters, get nerfed. Rogue life

raw tusk
#

Yeah Iโ€™ve always been outlaw/combat with assas sprinkled in so but as good as the cleave is with outlaw 6rolling the the shit buff isnโ€™t as fun

cerulean walrus
#

Yeah sin is just extremely consistent. You want results? Play assassination

winter gale
#

Assa is way to go. Simple and deadly AF

lament dove
#

playstyle fits the name tbh, we are cold blooded relaxed killers

winter gale
raw tusk
#

Plus itโ€™s only like 4 main buttons lol

cerulean walrus
#

4-5 yeah

#

Funny enough thatโ€™s more than most classes

winter gale
#

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.

raw tusk
#

If they ever switch back to a slice and dice based outlaw Iโ€™d go back. I liked that but itโ€™s such a downgrade now it sucks

summer onyx
#

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

lament dove
#

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)

inner pecan
#

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

winter gale
#

Fok envenom

#

Fok envenom

inner pecan
#

In mass AoE you should be spamming FoK-CT

#

if you have infinite energy

random scroll
#

^

#

build enough ruptures/garrot to maintain fok spam

#

and maintain CT

strange python
#

It is based on comp like we talking about yesterday. So I think FoK-CT spam is bad

solid nova
#

Comp, Pull sizes, dungeon

#

Affixes

lament dove
#

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

strange python
#

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

inner pecan
#

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%?

lament dove
#

the whole duration of the 3 second MA:)

winter gale
#

No

lament dove
#

not the whole duration of the bleed

winter gale
#

I mean Strayhand is right :)

mighty elm
#

is nothing personal simming correctly? because a 2nd treacherous covenant sims about 200 dmg higher than 1 Nothing personal for me.

vast forum
#

That's not a hell lot more

#

Also, np scales with some stats

mighty elm
#

looks like 3 times more

vast forum
#

Wat?

mighty elm
#

2nd treacherous is the red

#

1 np is blue

solid nova
#

How is that 3x more?

glacial shuttle
#

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?

With subterfuge, garrotes are empowered for the 1st 3 globals out of stealth

Anyone got an empowered garrote weakaura?

"empowered weak", that's got to be normal then

void gazelle
cerulean walrus
#

I actually use Luxthosโ€™ setup, super thorough

glacial shuttle
#

And is it Garrote > Rupture > Vanish > Garrote to ensure it stays empowered?

cerulean walrus
#

No

solid nova
#

No

cerulean walrus
#

You get 3 globals

solid nova
#

First 3 globals you're still in subterfuge

glacial shuttle
#

Oh right

lament dove
#

for 3 seconds it stays empowered because of subterfuge

glacial shuttle
#

Good point. I can't believe I wasn't capitalising on this.

cerulean walrus
#

Just make sure you time it right so you donโ€™t muck up your garrote

glacial shuttle
#

Is Shrouded Suff. still really good with the poison build for this particular situation then?

cerulean walrus
#

SS + Subt is still very good regardless

lament dove
#

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

glacial shuttle
#

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.

In Afenar's groups, why does Sub's one have an energy bar that glows purple?

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

brisk forge
#

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

winter gale
#

I had same issue and bought the Chest

spice surge
#

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

winter gale
#

Kept 385 shoulders and got hc ones very next reset

rose sapphire
#

TBH if the shoulders did drop last raid for me on jade I would buy chest but now its dilema, patient or not

winter gale
#

U will clear 3/9 many times before u reach Mekka

rose sapphire
#

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

winter gale
#

Thats how I thought about it and I bought 415 chest. Got NP/Blightborne Infusion ๐Ÿ˜‚

rose sapphire
#

I can fill in that I am doing +16 key every week so I can buy a new 415 piece every second week

winter gale
#

Then go for Chest imo

spice surge
#

As i said, depends on if you need the extra ilvl right now

winter gale
#

And If u will do it now link what u got ๐Ÿ˜‚

brisk forge
#

Wing it bro ๐Ÿ˜Ž

rose sapphire
#

well my shoulders are really bad, feels like anything would be upgrade

winter gale
#

Thats another pair of shoes then.

brisk forge
#

Easy pick then, u can buy a new 415 i 2 weeks so no biggie tbh

winter gale
#

And u can also get 400 shoulders from HC too

#

Also upgrade from 385 :)

rose sapphire
#

@brisk forge Easy pick u mean I should buy shoulders? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

ye Ohandza

#

but it doesnt drop ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

fbm

brisk forge
#

Imo yeah why not ๐Ÿ‘

rose sapphire
#

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?

spice surge
#

ye

summer marten
#

at least you didnt get ruinous blast chest

#

fml

lament dove
#

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

rose sapphire
#

farmin m+? ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I have barerly 0 pieces of mythci raiding and hc

summer marten
#

yea, its good for m+, but i wanted it for raid ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

rose sapphire
#

my gear is from m+

lament dove
#

yeah, I'm doing that as well, always seeing my trinkets drop for someone else...

rose sapphire
#

btw did they say anything official about master assa opener+

raven mica
#

@summer marten imagine getting that chest and realizing that ur never gonna use it until you have a dedicated M+ set

spice surge
#

Just scrap it

#

You can item restore it later when you have residuum to spare

raven mica
#

No point tbh

strange python
#

It is Ttk that makes the aim that high? I have 3xDD and same ilvl and I don't sim that high

hollow vine
#

how much TR do you get from scrapping 415?

raven mica
#

Like 360 or something

spice surge
#

You get 365 residum, if that lets you buy another piece in the meantime for your raiding set

zenith gust
#

at what % should i sim TC?

spice surge
#

Why wouldnt you

raven mica
#

In my case at least

#

I wonโ€™t get a new piece any faster

hollow vine
#

i got SS/NP chest.. kinda meh :/

summer marten
#

@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

zenith gust
hollow vine
#

dont think you can get the same one again

spice surge
#

If you're not doing mythic jaina, tc uptime should be 95%+

#

Probably 99%

raven mica
#

You can have like 90%+ uptime on TC though

rose sapphire
#

in raids u will have 90%+ on TC

raven mica
#

Even on a boss like M gโ€™huun, you still kept above 50% for like 90%

zenith gust
#

oh, ok, then i guess i will go for the double TC

#

thx

Anyone got the optimal way to go with master assa in opener? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

spice surge
#

Yes, the guide in the pins explains it pretty well ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

vestal wren
#

wowhead guide is a good alternative if you want more in detail one

rose sapphire
#

Wowhead tells me to go vanish into tb

#

intressting

rose perch
#

i prefer that one myself

#

vanish > tb, that is

rose sapphire
#

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

spice surge
#

You can only cast 3 spells while master assassin is up

rose sapphire
#

y which means vanish evenoim almost garantuees me 2 evenoms

winter gale
#

I always have 2

rose sapphire
#

Ye but we talk with master assa here ๐Ÿ˜›

winter gale
#

Oh, sry. Didnt scroll up far enough ๐Ÿ˜‚

rose sapphire
#

@rose perch do you do a mutilate then vanish tb to be sure u can cast of evenom instant

rose perch
#

no it's fine to vanish tb mutilate envenom

#

the alternative would be vanish tb envenom mutilate

#

same buttons, different order

gusty plinth
#

rather tb mut till 4+ then vanish env

rose perch
#

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
