yy and NP+Blightborne sims better than tc+np as well

warm geode
#

Twist sims higher ten NP to

#

at least second

rancid bobcat
#

rankings are still dominated by sub/ss thinkums

fleet whale
#

because it's not like it's terrible for ST and getting specific traits for azerite is easier said than done

warm geode
#

@rancid bobcat i belive we r saying, DD better for ST but not every fight is ST, gonk SS is good, opulence not

#

and go on

warm geode
#

got me by surprise Twist chest been the best

strange python
#

I bought 2x Residuum chest and got the Waycrest one TWICE

#

cbacbacba

warm geode
#

EB + SS go m+

next wolf
#

Scared to buy another also, funker 😭. Got that one first time round also, damned it's gonna be the same one a second time too

primal gazelle
#

the chance of that happening is 2%

#

you got fuckeddd 😛

raven mica
#

I wish you could tell CS you bought the wrong thing

#

And they would refund you the TR

primal gazelle
#

well you can refund the item as long as you havent click on it yet to proc

rigid mango
#

When doing conclave, do you keep both bosses g+ruptured?

#

Or do you stick to one

civic palm
#

1

river zinc
#

for poison build..is there a reason we don't run Master Poisoner?

civic palm
#

What poison build?

royal lantern
#

master poisoner only works for our weapon poison in bfa

#

and he means toxicblade i think

river zinc
#

I guess I don't know sin enough to word things correctly I currently run 2212221

#

so TB

#

basicaally

civic palm
#

MP is only weapon poisons (Deadly Poison/Wounding Poison), influences nothing else.

#

EP shows better numbers either way.

spice surge
#

It does influence mind numbing poison in pvp as well 😉

#

But yes, EP affects everything and MP only affects a small portion of our damage

river zinc
#

thank you!

Also it says to run either subterfuge or Master Assassin

#

what decides which I should use

elfin plaza
#

MA sims slightly better for pure Single target

spice surge
#

Aoe or shrouded suffocation traits = subterfuge
ST = MA

elfin plaza
#

^

river zinc
#

ok thank you I'm sorry for stupid questions

#

O

#

I'm only running sin for ST..so I'll learn the MA opener

gilded thistle
#

If I reapply Rupture during the Elaborate Planning window, is the whole dot affected our just the ticks that I get in while the buff is still active?

inner pecan
#

it's dynamic

#

just the ticks while the buff is active

gilded thistle
#

thanks

weary arrow
#

is battle pot of ag or pre pot gem from crown better

gilded thistle
#

Should Galecaller's Boon be used with Vendetta or on cd?

spice surge
#

Both

#

As it has a 1 minute cooldown and vendetta has a 2 minute cooldown

gilded thistle
#

Im stupid. Was thinking 1:30min cd. Thanks @spice surge

nimble tartan
#

Galecallers 😂

untold current
#

Sims showing me to run no SS traits with talented exsang wtf

spice surge
#

That sounds odd, mind linking?

#

Do you have like, no DD traits either?

spice surge
#

Seems like you didnt select TB and MA tbh

untold current
#

i didn't just selected esang since GCB is best trinket i have

nimble tartan
#

It won't show u other talent combos if u dont select it

vast forum
#

i think he meant more like - it's telling him to play dd even tho he plays exsg

untold current
#

yeah i try other combos, but simming exsang build for if adds

#

that

#

Like, i get that it can be higher dps to run toxic blade even if running SS for reasons

#

but dont get why its suggesting DD if I have ex talented

spice surge
#

Most of exsangs power doesnt come from speeding up garrotes, its more from speeding up ruptures

#

Since you cant apply vanish garrotes after your existing ones have fallen of for more uptime (since it is tied to vanish cd)

#

Since you get most of your vanish garrotes inside vendetta anyway (20 out of 24 seconds)

untold current
#

So if i run no SS, is it still worth to vanish garrote adds on say grong?

#

or champion

spice surge
#

You should be running SS if you are intending to vanish and garrote multiple things yes

untold current
#

and if not then vanish env?

#

oh nvm, only if running MA

fringe lodge
#

has nothing personnel always stacked well on herodamage? I thought it was only good with one trait

civic palm
#

Damage was undervalued until recently.

opal minnow
#

there was a change in simc concerning it last night

fringe lodge
#

ahh

opal minnow
#

something about it and haste i believe

fringe lodge
#

when I sim myself with simc and raidbots it still says generic traits are better after 1 nothing personnel, is it wrong?

vast forum
#

probably not

#

nothing personal scales with stats so it could depend on your stat distribution

spice surge
#

Make sure to sim with the nightly version on raidbots

#

As the weekly version has yet to recieve those updates

vast forum
#

i think fuu said that the weekly was at the same time as the newest nightly

#

and the NP change is included in both

spice surge
#

But yeah, the first np is definitely the strongest, good other traits can be better than a second or third np

#

Ok then, i was wrong, i just assumed it wasnt updated yet

untold current
#

So if running no SS but subt u vanish and garotte once?

#

with TB

spice surge
#

Well yes, but if you're not running SS then you might aswell run MA

weary arrow
#

on mythic grong is better to vanish->garrote on both adds or just focus one? or does it depend on how far apart they are

pulsar coral
#

my brother's 396 lock

plain jacinth
#

i think you should garrote both adds, and maybe the boss if its close enough

pulsar coral
#

i think im gonna commit subaru

#

wut in tarnation

spice surge
#

Yeah demo is strong on st with no movement

pulsar coral
#

nerf pl0x

#

i wanna be strong st with no movement, what else is cloak for except to let me not move

dark crag
#

There is sim dps and real dps

spice surge
#

Spoilers: locks look even better on logs than on sims

fluid mist
#

Somebody in that class dev team deffo has a girl at home who plays a lock

spice surge
#

Idk i dont think its unreasonable to have to least mobile spec in the game do good damage if they dont have to move

dark crag
#

Did you just asume his/her/its gender and loveinterest?

fluid mist
#

He getting nothing if he does not pump those Numbers up every damn tier

#

Oh yeah i forgot it’s 2k19

coarse quartz
#

does anyone know what WA he uses in the center?

#

showing uptimes

spice surge
#

One of these

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
spice surge
#

Dont remember which one though

pulsar coral
#

speaking of demo, anyone else get disoriented when a boss mc's a demo lock and suddenly there's red everywhere

#

like in Shrine or Waycrest

dark crag
#

Never happened to me, but i never did m+ with a demo

fluid mist
#

I don’t run keys with a lock that often

#

And if there happens to be one it’s mostly destro

#

So i have No clue

coarse quartz
#

it doesn't look like any of the wa command

#

unless he customized it

alpine rain
fluid mist
#

Sick

#

Gz man

alpine rain
#

thanks :3

fluid mist
#

Got that slot covered for The rest of The tier i guess lol

alpine rain
#

lmao told my guild the same thing

#

like GG probably wont need a trinket untill next tier heroic

fluid mist
#

Well what else do you have :p

#

Kimbul’s still pretty Nice hehe

alpine rain
#

405 Dice and 400 Pulmage

fluid mist
#

Nah then you fine lol

untold current
#

I notice in logs for MA people are gar>mut>rup>mut>ven> TB>vanish>env vs the ravenholdt opener

#

Is this higher?

stable pine
#

Ven>Van>TB

untold current
#

Yeah, just see a couple people in logs doing ven>TB>vanish env

plush remnant
#

I have a 395 Galecaller, 400 kul Tiran cannon thing, and 410 plumage. Sim says the plum and galecaller are best, but I’m not sure those two are actually good in most raid fights with movement. Thoughts?

plain jacinth
#

the cannon is also bad with movement anyway

plush remnant
#

True. I’ll have to get dice then

round harbor
#

I like tb vanish envm mut envm

strange python
#

Is there an ideal time in our rotation to pop GC if you know you’ll be stationary?

hollow stone
#

@untold current do whatever feels better for you. Vend, tb, van, env, m, env is a negligible amount better than vend, van, tb, env, m

#

@strange python with vend and on cooldown

strange python
#

Solid thank you

tribal marlin
#

Keep plumage definitly, gale caller is strong but having 2 on-use feels not good

potent owl
#

how did i get a 5 second roll the bones 5 roll buff as sin ? ive been looking everywhere and i cant find an answer im so confused

spice surge
#

The trinket from freehold has the same icons as roll the bones

potent owl
#

OHHH im stupid LMFAO thank you

gilded crest
#

are the new sims for Nothing Personal correct?

civic palm
#

Yes

fleet whale
#

if only we had the leggo boots again

chilly marsh
#

FUCKING LUCK

#

piece of shit trinket 40 ilvls and only 0.4%

#

will replace it easy when i get a new 400+ pvp trinket

#

@potent owl gurrrrrl you’re drunk

raven mica
#

#

FUCKING

#

SERIOUS

#

I got the waycrest chest

#

fickle obsidian

actual same

young meteor
#

herodamage is saying to stack nothing personal?

raven mica
#

Can I like

lone junco
#

depends. Mine still has dd/tc on 2 slots. dd/vend on the other.

raven mica
#

go to customer support

#

for this fucking bullshit

lone junco
#

no

#

@young meteor in pure st it is up yes. any time there is an add it loses to TC.

#

so it will probably just be an ilvl thing between TC and Vend to go with your 3dd

#

there are still ss options with subterfuge and vend. so w/e not a bad place to be with so many combos.

tired shell
#

soooo what azerite traits am i looking to run for mythic +.....sufficating x2 double dose x2 and 1 echoeing is what im running. Any thoughts?

lone junco
#

m+ is gonna be a combo of ss, eob, with monster crit.

#

and twist or scent.

tired shell
#

ah ok thx

calm hatch
#

has anyone followed what would the best combo of traits be in m+ now? how many SS / EB and what else?

young meteor
#

@lone junco thank u

tired shell
#

do you run exanguinate or toxic blade in mythic +? i have 2 sufficating so im assuming exang

honest needle
#

can some 1 help me when i try to add a weakaura it says import disabled

#

for soem reason it wont let me add new weakauras i want

austere scarab
#

How do you guys open on Jadefire w/ Sub?

#

Is it double-tap garrote monk, single garrote mage, then spread rup, or is it single garrote / rup / single garrote / rup?

fierce pivot
#

I am so confused about whats the best combo of azarite gear

#

Is 3x DD and 3x NP really the best?

woeful oriole
#

I just realized that bloodmallet uses master assassin instead of subterfuge...

#

I wonder how much that changes some things.

honest needle
#

can some 1 tell me why weakauras wont work for me

#

it wont let me upload new string

#

for a bunch

#

it says import disabled

hollow stone
#

@austere scarab g monk g mage g monk rupt mage m vend monk rotato

austere scarab
#

@fierce pivot For pure ST maybe? I feel like SS/Sub still has its place on a lot of early fights

#

or maybe I just like to pad

#

Currently running 3xDD / 2x TC / 1x SS

#

It's a fucking mess.

fierce pivot
#

I like SS, I'd like 3x DD and 3x SS

#

but the system continues to work againts me

#

I know the energy from NP does not stack, but does the damage?

pastel vault
#

😦

#

think I must be doing something wrong that I dont see

civic palm
#

Sorry what's the issue?

pastel vault
#

I do no dmg

civic palm
#

I mean you do some damage.

#

If you wanna cheese a 1:44 Champions and parse well, you need to cheese harder.

crude bay
#

And not play MA

pastel vault
#

I mean for boss dmg

civic palm
#

Bingo.

#

Be more specific?

#

Then.

pastel vault
#

was still low compared to my other rogue teammates

round harbor
#

2 minute on use on a 1:45 fight REEEE

pastel vault
#

true

round harbor
#

U lucky I'ma miss farm tonight

#

I'm coming for that #1 tich spot

pastel vault
#

I dont do grong ever until no one needs gear so my allstar gonna be low anyway

#

I just feel like something is wrong in rotation if Im the bottom boss parse idk

round harbor
#

I'm on phone but I obvs know what it doing

woeful oriole
#

DD, Treach, Overwhelming.... OR... nothing personal, DD, overwhelming?

round harbor
#

You

#

If I had to guess I'ma bet bad crits in vendetta window

#

Only reason I'm in on grong is to pump boss dmg

#

Basically just dot up the homies then step to boss

tough whale
#

Haste 2.99 feels wonderful man

round harbor
#

Uh

#

Wut

#

2.99%

#

?

tough whale
#

2.99 weight

round harbor
#

Oh

tough whale
#

if it was 2% id uninstall

round harbor
#

Yeah I was gonna say that's KMS territory levels of haste

tough whale
#

Teach a man to sim and he'll never flood the discord with posts like that

woeful oriole
#

They sim the same.

tough whale
#

Then use it based on fight preference

#

and how you can use it best to your advantage

woeful oriole
#

I was wondering what people's thoughts were. I'll be more specific next time.

strange python
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
fleet whale
#

So yeah... three traits of NP is quite strong

civic palm
#

1 is pretty good yeah.

fleet whale
#

3 of them was nearly 12% of my damage

civic palm
#

ok

empty tide
#

im running 3x DD 1x NP 1xTC 1xTwist the knife

tough whale
#

Noice

#

We've had literally 1 of those helms drop

#

in 3 weeks

empty tide
#

ye got lucky, second kill got helm, and first jadefire kill got the shoulders

tough whale
#

Also dont have those drop either

#

real fun

empty tide
#

and the 415 chestpiece random got me something juicy

tough whale
#

I had a DD/NP chest as my first 415

#

2nd is NP/Blood rite, still pretty good for not getting jadefire yet

#

jadefire shoulders**

empty tide
#

i was using 2 treacherous with the mekkatorke chest

tough whale
#

Feelsbad

#

Literally still getting cucked by galecallers

empty tide
#

i just need better daggers

#

still using 400-390

tough whale
#

Ye, got lucky with rasta, but no more chance til next tuesday now

fierce pivot
#

I got a cannnon runner 420 for my chest

#

it upset me

tough whale
#

I got a pair of pants that went into the dumpster

earnest pilot
#

is SS considered good?

#

i really like having it

#

but i feel like i over value it

empty tide
#

its good

#

but not necessary

#

and if you're talking ST, other traits outscale like DD

mystic pond
#

It is very good for dungeons, since you can get back into stealth fairly often

bleak star
#

So I’m being forced to run an ss trait cause my gamble 415 shoulders have them, when is the best time to vanish to reapply the powered garrote? Do I do it when the first is about to fall or save it for next vendetta ?

serene basin
#

right around when the first is about to fall off

#

for a single target boss fight

#

you'll want to pool energy so that when you vanish you have enough to garrote ->envenom ->garrote again

#

or garrote -> rupture -> garrote

chilly marsh
#

is there a way to sim dungeon slice and patchwork at once with gear compare ?

bleak star
#

@serene basin ok thanks man, and do I hold vendetta for vanish? Or just use when it’s up per usual and when vanish is up use it?

#

I have a pretty good base idea of what to do just need some iteration on it

tough whale
#

Sync them

#

its only about 15s of pooling for your first set of cds, then they realign for the rest of the fight

bleak star
#

Ok awesome, also do I vendetta fist then do the vanish sequence or vise verse?

serene basin
#

basically always vendetta on the opener first

#

and vanish 20~ seconds later to refresh garrote

#

as always, fights aren't always cookie cutter and you might get mechanics that throw off timing but

#

I'd always evaluate how long you think the fight will be and how many vendetta's you can fit in

tough whale
#

wat

#

Nvm my small brain took a second to read taht

serene basin
#

a good example is jadefire masters

#

your timings are going to be all over the place

#

think of vanish + ss as a way to empower garrote for the refresh > having to always line it up with vendetta

red zealot
#

Quick question for you veterans so I have been enjoying OTL for M+ but I was curious how is Echoing blades trait for Sin? Or it better to go for Suffocation if i play sin for M+s

drifting cloud
#

theyre both bis

serene basin
#

you'll ideally want a combination of high single target traits and echoing blades if you can @red zealot

red zealot
#

Hmmm alright

drifting cloud
#

you definetly want atleast 1 EB, probably more, not sure what the exact bis setup is

#

I guess 3 of each

serene basin
#

if you just roll 3 echoing blades and the other traits are garbage it's not great

red zealot
#

Feels bad doing M+ as sin due to trash dmg

#

least it did last week >.<

drifting cloud
#

almost depends more on dungeon, affixes and comp

red zealot
#

currently can either get 3 SS or 2 ss 1 EB

drifting cloud
#

but theres no point going pure ST, you just lose way to much on aoe

#

so you just have to find a balance

serene basin
#

sin ramp time is pretty bad without EB

#

so on a week where it's fortified teeming (like last week)

#

outlaw is prob the go-to (without enough EB traits)

#

and that's only if your m+ needs the aoe right

red zealot
#

naturally just depends on traits ob

#

if sin go for a mix

serene basin
#

a DH, prot warrior, etc can output so much

red zealot
#

or just yolo outlaw

mystic pond
#

But if ramp up time is bad, isn't sin pretty good for the fort weeks, since then you get to do the ramp? 🤔

drifting cloud
#

but yeah take 1 eb pretty much 100% of the time

red zealot
#

Ill try one with EB

mystic pond
#

Where as outlaw might run out of blade flurry uptime on long sustained AoE

drifting cloud
#

its pretty broken

serene basin
#

well, I'm leaning more towards reaping tbh

#

sin feels garbage without eb -> reaping

mystic pond
#

Yeah that is true

red zealot
#

Getting into the swing of things since legion...thanks gents ill try them out worst case I have solid set up for Otl if worst case

tough whale
#

outlaw with wits is fucking grossly good

mystic pond
#

Too bad adrenaline rush fix is first in 8.1.5

warm harbor
#

when running a nothing personal trait is it better to toxic blade before or after vendetta

mystic pond
#

right now that CD is the most clunky shit ever, even subt feels better imo

drifting cloud
#

after vendetta

tough whale
#

AR feels awkward sometimes, full agree

#

still fun smashing buttons

mystic pond
#

Atleast vendetta is useable from stealth

fleet whale
#

AR is iconic though 😦

mystic pond
#

even tho I don't really use it from stealth, but it is

#

Man MoP outlaw was Kreygasm back when you had thieve's guile and killing spree + SnD were baseline

#

And we had cruise control Ass gameplay Clap

fleet whale
#

i liked assassination in SoO with the dispatch procs

mystic pond
#

Yeah those were nice

#

but I always loved the fact they could just refresh SnD through Envenom

#

that curise control was truly luxurious

fleet whale
#

yeah, they made snd baseline in WoD for sin because of it lol

mystic pond
#

and outlaw lost rupture

#

which is fine, since it was mostly a DPS loss in most cases

#

but all those things lead to where we are now, we dont have 1 rogue class with specs

#

we have 3 classes classified as rogue

fleet whale
#

well, assassination i would argue has changed the least over the years

mystic pond
#

granted MoP did use current talent spec

#

but atleast they had shared abilities across the board

#

yeah and outlaw has mostly just changed names on their abilities

#

subt tho

fleet whale
#

sub by far has changed the most

mystic pond
#

Still have shadow dance though

#

but works a bit differently

#

But yeah ass is so smooth in BfA with a lot of haste FeelsGoodMan

steep obsidian
#

how has sub changed the most?

#

i guess if you mean that the other specs hvaent changed much at all and taht dfa isnt a thing

mystic pond
#

We're talking since MoP I guess

#

dfa wasnt a thing at all in MoP

steep obsidian
#

oh i missed that part

mystic pond
#

I do wish we had something like NP build into vendetta tho, to make it more interesting

steep obsidian
#

sub has always been about the burst windows since wod though

#

i dont even remember sub in mop

mystic pond
#

I know pyllerøx played subt in SoO?

tough whale
#

bring back combat readiness

#

😠

mystic pond
#

is vendetta getting any changes in 8.1.5 btw?

plush remnant
#

What's the best way to know which azerite piece I have equipped is the worst?

weak creek
#

what classes does ruby normally go to?

plush remnant
#

Classes that are better at focusing boss instead of adds. Assassination is good with Opal

mystic pond
#

I feel like most classes has a way to tag all the mobs quickly though

#

for the opal

#

But yeah fan of knives from Ass is definitely nice for it

plush remnant
#

I like to focus doting as many adds as I can so I’d say classes that can aoe but don’t tab to the adds a lot should get ruby

mystic pond
#

But Opal only gets stack from the first attack on the adds?

#

Each new creature you attack whole holding the opal grants a stack of unleashed rage.

plush remnant
#

Yeah, I’m saying if I had ruby. Me going around doting adds is a bad idea

mystic pond
#

Is it though?

#

If you have dots on boss

#

doesnt it still apply Focused Animus?

plush remnant
#

It’s direct damage that refreshes

mystic pond
#

Ah

#

I guess it could come down to team comp then

#

if you have a lot of AoE stun, I can easily see an Ass rogue with ruby working

tough whale
#

Just fok

mystic pond
#

since then FoK can apply ruby stacks to everything at once

#

boss and adds

tough whale
#

the dps % buff on small adds is minor

#

just use fok to funnel dps into opulence

mystic pond
#

I guess

plush remnant
#

It really does depend because if your raid lets the adds get too far out then it won’t reach

tough whale
#

You sync topaz with it and should have grips / rings / slows / etc

#

so the adds should melt

mystic pond
#

Yeah so you think Opal is better to just get the dmg increase as Ass rogue?

#

just tag the mobs mostly

plush remnant
#

Yeah

tough whale
#

yeah but as a rogue youre going to get stuck ruby

#

most likley

#

If you arent on ruby duty you get opal

plush remnant
#

I’ve gotten away with opal so far. They give it to our outlaw rogue lol

tough whale
#

we run 4 ruby

mystic pond
#

Is there ever any reason to have emerald? I cant even imagine any casters wanting to use it

tough whale
#

:/

plush remnant
#

I hate emerald

raw tusk
#

what are the typical top trait combos?

plush remnant
#

3 double dose or 3 shrouded suffocation are good

raw tusk
#

is it worth getting more then one NP? Wowhead says prefered only 1 but im simming two

#

right now i have 3 DD 1 TC and 2 NP With an Unstable Flames and Overwhelming

plush remnant
#

If it’s telling you it sims the highest compared to your other traits then stick with it. The dot stacks on NP. But not the haste benefit from it

lone junco
#

@raw tusk wowhead is out of date. NP is simming higher now that it was before

raw tusk
#

ok. do you guys use raid bots to sim? and is the best way to just check all the traits and have it run for that?

lone junco
#

and you should always sim your options

#

top gear on raidbots lets you pick an array of traits + a few talents (subterfuge and ma)

raw tusk
#

yeah thats what ive been doing

#

just feel like ill sim a piece and itll give me traits but if i sim everything its different so i wasnt sure if there was a "most" accurate way to sim it

lone junco
#

accurate depends on proper fight settings for your goals

mystic pond
#

raidbots should be fine, you can check what revision of simulationcraft raidbots is using iirc.

#

I don't remember if it uses the most recent nightly release or not though

raw tusk
#

mainly single target fights Noobe

lone junco
#

its daily. and it will be more update than your simulationcraft version.

mystic pond
#

Are you sure about that? 🤔

#

Unless the guy updates raidbots himself before newer simulationcrafts, then it should be the same as the one I have myself.

lone junco
#

of course. there are very very few reasons to download the simc too.

mystic pond
#

What?

lone junco
#

unless you install the new simc every day every time.

mystic pond
lone junco
#

what do you mean what. the tools on raidbots are easier to use. the gear sets. the smart sim.

#

ok good for you. its not worth doing that

mystic pond
#

I update my simc every morning

#

shrug

#

Part of my nice daily morning routine, I like it

lone junco
#

the gear compare tools are better

#

ok.

mystic pond
#

I mean yeah if you have no simc usage previous to raidbots invention, I can see what you mean and I agree it is good enough to use.

#

but simc is fine aswell shrug

raw tusk
#

so back to what i was saying lol just click every good trait and itll sim the best combo?

mystic pond
#

Yeah

raw tusk
#

cool

#

i might end up paying the 3 dollars to just mass sim lol

You might want to set the options a bit

#

depending on your guilds average fight length etc.

lone junco
#

i used plenty of simc prior. but the gear compare toolkits are easier to use. w/e

mystic pond
#

depending on AoE or ST

#

You can also disable buffs, incase you might not have all of them available to you.

chilly marsh
#

i'm thinking here if its worth having a full aoe set for m+ ( losing 4-5ilvls) vs my full ST raid set

lone junco
#

slice doesnt have a zombie wave

#

35 crit. and a combo of ss + eob + twist is good.

#

with 2 scent, you just tab out all the ruptures you can.

chilly marsh
#

yes i ahve 3 sets there

#

one with 2 scent + 3 ss

#

otehr 2 ss 2 fok

#

and the full ST set

#

same sets but ST fight

lone junco
#

watched seli sustain 104k dps over about 30sec. my eyes about popped out

light rampart
#

While on opulence. You guys run EB for that fight?

chilly marsh
#

losing 14% dps in any ST fight with the aoe set

lone junco
#

@light rampart opulence is ST. just stacking opal and burning boss with a vanish at max stacks

light rampart
#

Aight

lone junco
#

youll never actually kill the adds if there is an outlaw or warriors near by

light rampart
#

I guess I felt my team was a bit slower on adds that I run it. But I can see it being better not too

chilly marsh
#

dont know if the +2% aoe is worth the -14% ST with doing m+

#

even more tyranical week

lone junco
#

depends on how big you pull, if you stay in the slice pull sizes, then follow that. if you gigapull, the aoe isnt represented in that sim.

chilly marsh
#

yea ghost waves i can keep 80-120k dps

#

with 2fok 2 ss

lone junco
#

thats a good combo imo.

#

the crit trait on 3rd row is nice too

chilly marsh
#

yes but 370.. urg

#

i wish we could buy target 400 azerite

will never get 415 i want for dgs

that's yikes

is scent of blood even good ST?

#

also it assumes 100% uptime on TC

Can someone provide maybe a guide to siming. New to it. Just looking for somewhere to get started?

Can someone update on the NP thing? It Sims highest even on 3x stack? So that is what we want to do now? No more 3x DD?

Anyone have any insight of why blightborne might be simming higher than NP at 400 ilvl? I mean its not that big of a deal just curious

If it's against your second NP Blightborne will beat it.

Small margin, but it does.

blightborne is REALLY strong, it always sims good cus of it

yeah its p small was just woondering, thanks for the insight guys 😄

So I still want the same gear but 1xNP becomes more important than before. But as long as I have 1 I should be fine?

Do we have a consensus on best gem for assa rogues on Opulence?

So guys. For raid. What would you recommend now after the change? 3xDD 1xNP and then TC or Tfk? Or would you go pure ST and have 3xNP?

civic palm
#

3xNP isn't your best option.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

strange python

Well it Sims highest! Even on 3x stack

Just gearcompare

Imagine you get each individual piece

Herodamage sims are somewhat of a pointer but not nearly as accurate as just simming a few different items

strange python
#

Well I did and 3xNP Sims highest ST, but that is patchwork as everybody know that is not the case ingame.Therefore my question was. what you recommend for raid due to the change to NP, making it sim this high on ST

vast forum

Np doesn't lose value with downtime

#

Unless you have downtime during vendetta

Does lose value on fights that line up poorly with Vendetta.

Some of the items were posted yes. I think tho it is only the effect pieces of gear. I assume more is coming but they start by showing the interesting loot first.

golden relic
#

Any of u sacrificing a DD trait for a SS even if DD sims higher pure patchwerk just due the fact that very little is pure patchwerk in dazalor

#

if it makes a difference at all , even with the 40 sec add sim forgot the name, its not much higher but im thinking like grong, jadefire, rastakhan mythic

#

if its worth the trait swap

#

also i dont wanna run MA, Reee lmao

#

Asking cause running goraktuls shoulders i see some ppl running SS and some DD on them , and it makes sense the logic behind taking SS even if it sims less, but idk

tribal marlin
#

is raidbot up to date about NP changes ?

marble hemlock
#

keeping 1 SS is definitely a decent strategy due to the 1point value it has

quick ice
#

@tribal marlin yes

golden relic
#

Ye i figured , but maybe its not that big of a deal

marble hemlock
#

theres a few bosses where you can align vanish pretty well and use it on CD to get multiple garrotes out

#

i.e. grong, jadefire, opu are 3 fights back to back where its pretty gud

#

rasta as well

#

its pretty decent for jaina too if you hold vanish and use it right as she teleports at the end of p2 so you get garrote on her and the wall

#

although that might be offset by the actual gain of DD, so im not sure how useful SS will be for the last handful of bosses

golden relic
#

Bosses u gave as an example are the ones I was thinking of aswell

#

but ye, mekka, blockade

marble hemlock
#

on blockade we dont really switch all that much to the adds, thats mostly a ranged job while we burn the boss, mekka you cant use it at all, and the use for jaina is very limited and questionable too

#

but its nice for the start, and by the time most people will hit those later bosses, they will most likely have more choice in their azerite as well

golden relic
#

ye for sure

are we really releasig TB 100% on CD or should we pull some energy before sometimes? I mean I've looked perfecto playing and read the raven guide but I can't figure out 😦

scenic quail
#

question for opener when speced in MA. Assume 5 CP, Vanish -> Envenom, if your next mut only takes you to 3 CP do you envenom regardless (to get into the MA window), or mut again to get to 5 CP?

quick ice
#

pool the energy before it comes off CD @tepid ridge

granite rampart
#

i just use the envenom at 3 cps and hope for crit. pretty sure a 3cp crit envenom would do more than a 5cp non-crit envenom @scenic quail

quick ice
#

pretty sure best practices on opener is to vanish-TB-mut-env?

tepid ridge
#

when I can for sure but if refresh needed delaying TB or using it without energy? @quick ice

scenic quail
#

that cant be right @quick ice , surely

quick ice
#

low energy probably

scenic quail
#

you'd only get one envenom into the window then

#

instead of 2

granite rampart
#

i think thats the apl, but i think using vendetta>toxic blade> get to 4+cps> then vanish envenom>muti>envenom with 30% damage from TB is better. @quick ice

tribal marlin
#

Better pooling before envenom then you never had concern about pooling for TB. We should see envenom more like the begining of a cycle insteed of the end of it

scenic quail
#

@granite rampart i do same for now, but was just wondering

granite rampart
#

yeah thats what i do, i would only mutilate again during MA window if you got super unlucky and didnt get any crits and only got 2 cps

scenic quail
#

thats yet to happen to me

#

i would be dirty

its happened to me before lmao

hm guess it's been slightly changed since I last looked at which traits to prio

You ideally still only want 1 np

But the difference is less, so with ilvl differences things can change

potent monolith

i have 3 DD 1 np and 2 tc is that good? is better if i have other combination?

switching out from covenant to NP on helm earned me like 250 dps

NP might be better than TC especially during m progression

What is TC again?

no change on NP, just a simc update recently

it was not hasted in raidbot/simcraft

yeah when I last looked at the trait worths on hero damage maybe 1-2 weeks ago and set my mind on what pieces are bis I don't think NP was as high up as it is now in single target

#

no actual blizzard side change tho

spice surge
#

The first trait was always better than anything else though

#

Basicly the same as now

rigid sonnet
#

maybe I just looked at it wrong, either way good that I found out as just reforging 1 item from TC to NP upped my simdps by 300 now

scarlet urchin
#

I've recently started trying Exsang instead of Toxic Blade since I finally got a Galecaller and it seems to do pretty well when I'm testing it myself and simming it. I have some questions though, maybe they're already answered somewhere but I can't find it.

  1. Do you always refresh your bleeds to max duration before using Exsang?
  2. Do you save your second Exsang until Galecaller is back up? (15 sec downtime)
  3. If 2 is true, do you hold Vendetta an extra 15 seconds for Exsang and Galecaller to be back up again?
  4. Should I Vanish-apply Garrotes before or after Vendetta the second time Vanish comes up?

(I'm running 2x SS trait)

quick ice
#

2 is false

summer cape
#
  1. After Vendetta since it buffs your dmg after u popped Vendetta which means Vanish Garrote becomes stronger

#

hmmm, ND BiS Trait (herodamage)?! oo

Is there any way to sim, "Battle potion of Agility" Vs the gem from the crown that gives main stat for 1 min?

  1. Refresh rupture if it's less than 22s, refresh garrote if it's in pandemic range
  2. No, exsang on CD
  3. Hold vendetta and vanish for the next exsang
  4. Depends, after vendetta usually

I wouldn't spend or scrap anything. For ST you want another Pair or Shoulders I guess. But you have a good pair on 2nd boss mythic so just kill that instead and save your current shoulders for m+

What are you guys all using for simming with top gear in terms of bosses? SS is almost never recommended for me when simming even with 3 pieces etc and talent sims.

#

And I have to imagine for a lot of the bosses having some SS is worth considering the multi dotting etc.

cobalt pelican
#

i just sim st and if ss is anywhere remotely close i'll take it on everything except mekkatorque and if it's a decent bit behind but not miles i'll take it on anything that it's likely to get 2+ empowered out

Are you running TB or Exang?

Or swapping depending on fight

#

Well I guess exang is only worth on 3x

whatever sims best, which is basically tb exclusively in my gear right now

due to DD etc

I think I'm going to go 3x DD, 2x NP, 1x SS, 1x TC

Perfecto was talking about SS vs DD like 2 days ago , and he personally doesnt like x3 DD cause nothing is pure ST in dazalor, there always smth u can use 1 SS on.

feral flower
#

Yeah basically exactly what I was saying earlier

#

I'm finding it not as ideal

tough ridge
#

Thank you everyone!

golden relic
#

its not that big of a sacrifice so idk why ppl make a big deal out of it

feral flower
#

SO the census is 1x SS and NP with 1x TC is ideal?

golden relic
#

they see sim patchwerk numbers and think they are losing so much using 1 different trait

late dawn
light kestrel
#

We take opal on Opulence, right?

late dawn
#

btw

feral flower
#

It's enough of a sac with multi targets so i'm going to disagree

#

like a 3% difference which is quite significant

golden relic
#

3% wat

feral flower
#

Anything outside of PURE ST, SS is going to give better burst and yield especially on fights like Rast

golden relic
#

its like 1.2% for me max

feral flower
#

Anything outside of Mekka really

strange python
golden relic
#

might aswell just have DD on everything and swap chest between mekka chest and grong one

wary ice
#

In 2-3 target, w/ DD we still mutilate. In 2+ w/ EB we FoK.

west fox
#

with master assassin talent are you supposed to vanish during combat and stay in stealth as long as possible so your dots get the extra crit chance?

wary ice
#

I have both because my azerite sucks shit

#

in 2 target should i be DDing or FoKing?

strange python
#

i don't find any news for the stacking of "Nothing Personal" in ST, only in herodamage

prisma beacon
#

@west fox i would never stay in stealth in combat, just vanish and try to get 4+ cp envenoms in ur master assasin window

west fox
#

so vanish at 4+ then envenom, then mut, envenom?

#

i tried on a dummy putting basic dots on it, was doing about 15k dps then vanished and stayed vanished and my dps jumped to 25k

prisma beacon
#

ye, if u are crit unlucky u need to do doub mut to get 4+ cps again

tough ridge
#

Vanishing on a dummy may reset your combat and thereby your DPS tracker.

spice surge
#

Well put it on overall rather than current

tough ridge
#

Lol right!

primal gazelle
#

is the change only applied to 1 NP? is 2 NP affected as well? @vestal wren

vestal wren
#

np is hasted

#

thats the change

ivory crow
primal gazelle
#

is herodamage updated with the NP change?

spice surge
#

Yes

#

It affected all stacks, but the ranking of the trait didnt really change

#

You still want 1 trait and prefer other traits over a secondnp

chilly marsh
#

it did change

#

stacking does ore mdg

primal gazelle
#

NP is now bis 😮

vestal wren
#

yes bis value for first one

surreal halo
#

Has anyone purchased random 415 azerite? I don't know if to choose shoulders or chest, both very similar

primal gazelle
#

if you care about m+, roll for shoulders first

quasi pewter
#

depends on what you have, for first piece i would suggest chest

#

if you raid mythic and arent gonna be at mekka any time soon, go chest

surreal halo
#

I mean both pieces I have are relatively similar

spice surge
#

@primal gazelle Only the first stack is better than DD/TC

#

Which was the case even before it got updated

#

Its just better in sims now overall

quasi pewter
#

@surreal halo depends on what you want to do aswell, if ur mainly raiding i would propably say chest first

surreal halo
#

Fair, cheers @quasi pewter !

west fox
#

the preferable azerite chest pieces that drops in the raid is from mekka i believe

primal gazelle
#

imma sim myself later tonight, i have 3 dd 1 np 2 tc combo, but i can switch to 3 dd 3 NP and see if that sims any higher

surreal halo
#

Got a spymasters wrap! Nothing personal & DD, so not bad!

quasi pewter
#

2nd bis i think, nice

delicate crater
#

The Sin guide for MA Opener says to Vend/Vanish then use TB and start your Mut/Env rotation. Is that still correct?

quasi pewter
#

yes

strange python
#

I’ve been seeing people say that in the research channel so I believe so

pale knot
#

anyone here with Shoulders of the Sanguine Monstrosity can confirm that gutripper dosent proc ?

#

just got 415 today and its not procing

quasi pewter
#

sounds weird

#

you sure you didnt just get unlucky?

pale knot
#

on one whole fight

quasi pewter
#

well

#

that can happen

#

im pretty sure its working correctly you just got unlucky

strange python
#

What’s the proc chance?

pale knot
#

ah maybe ur right but there is 2 logs from heroic today were i didnt get procs then

quasi pewter
#

can you show the logs?

quasi pewter
#

yea

inner pecan
#

there's a bug where azerite traits randomly stop working in the raid

quasi pewter
#

really?

vestal wren
#

i had a azerite piece not working after the drop

quasi pewter
#

havent heard about that at all

vestal wren
#

but after reskilling it it worked again

inner pecan
#

yep

midnight ibex
#

412-414 IL in that log 😯

strange python
#

I found this about gutripper

#

Gutripper is considered a "white attack" and can be blocked, dodged, and parried. Against raid bosses, it has a 3% chance (for non-Tanks) to parry when facing the boss.

It's important to note that Simcraft sims this trait as if you're always behind the boss, and thus will never account for this. The DPS loss is generally insignificant, but can affect the value of this trait depending on spec.

quasi pewter
#

its also weird because it usually proccs like 30 times per fight in your other logs

#

the chance of it proccing 0 times on 2 seperate fights is kinda ridiculous

pale knot
#

note that i switched around shoulders

#

i had 400 ilvl ones somefights

tough ridge
#

Dumb question. Does it matter on which weapon the enchants is applied to?

inner pecan
#

no

tough ridge
#

Thanks!

spice surge
#

Just re-equiping the item should fix the bug @pale knot
Sometimes it just stops working

quasi pewter
#

im checking my hc logs from last week and my unstable flames also seems to only be working on some fights

#

usually 40+ proccs per fight but then some with 0

pale knot
#

👍

Broken game

good morning afternoonn and evening my gamers hope u all have a wonderful day

hollow jolt
#

hey guys what sim should I run for m+ ??? cause If I use the Dungeon Slice (BETA) it says i should swap my crit mastery gear with some haste versa :X

quasi pewter
#

dungeon slice is not perfect but its the best we got

primal gazelle
#

dungeon slice is more geared towards ppl who clear 10s

hollow jolt
#

Before this option I used 5 tar 40 sec sim

primal gazelle
#

i trust 6t 40s sim more than dungeon slice,

#

but 6t 40sec sims tells me to stat for crit>verse as opposed to crit>mastery and im starting to wonder if that should actually be the case

hollow jolt
#

yeah its strange... I just started the Dungeon Slice (BETA) sim and got some haste versa stuff and I don't think this is the way to go actually

#

but maybe cause of the flat dmg increase we get from versa

primal gazelle
#

dungeon slice assumes low mob count pulls

#

like 3-4 pulls

hollow jolt
#

oh rly? I was thinking it maybe switched because of reaping

primal gazelle
#

it includes boss fights as well which is why haste is so high

hollow jolt
#

yeah

primal gazelle
#

Here are my stat weights for 6t 40 secs, shows crit>vers>mast. I wonder if Crit/verse is actually the play now since FOK/EB is 50% of my overall damage and gains nothing from mastery

hollow jolt
#

you play hidden blades?

primal gazelle
#

yeah i do

#

i have 3 EB though

hollow jolt
#

what have changed? last id was all about outblaw buf before this I only saw ct

primal gazelle
#

if you have 3 traits of EB, 1 fok cast > initial dmg of CT, making CT not worth spamming and only to be refreshed. CT also sucks for reaping because not enough time for the dot duration before they die

nimble tartan
hollow jolt
#

wow 😄

nimble tartan
#

its just my ilvl set my raiding set 408 😢

next wolf
#

that great moment when you get your second ss+eb azerite chest piece

#

someones having a good chuckle right now im sure,

primal gazelle
#

blessed by rng

inner pecan
#

raiding set is 412 rn

#

no ilvl cheesing

nimble tartan
#

dam thats crazy

#

all my big stuff have bad stats

#

or i have like 400 socket versions

inner pecan
primal gazelle
#

3x dd 3x np 😮

#

do you burst for 80k on openers or what

inner pecan
#

like 70k somewhere around that

nimble tartan
#

tfw i still have 400 helm

inner pecan
#

depends on crit rng

hollow jolt
#

for ST haste mastery still the way?

hollow stone
#

Sim it dude. Like 2 scrolls up you were talking about simming so you know how to do it. Stats are dependent on char

#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.

hollow jolt
#

sry

delicate crater
#

so was there an actual in game change for NP or just the APL?

spice surge
#

Just apl

#

or well simc

hollow stone
#

Me too. That came off as harsh. Didnt mean it to be 8)

hollow jolt
#

np dude 😃

#

was stupid question

strange python
#

So 2xDD, 2xTC, 1xTTK and 1xNP OR. 2xDD, 2xNP, 1xTC, 1xTTK? They sim 34 diffrent. What is the best for raid?

#

Or is it such a small difference it doesn't matter?

karmic ingot
#

@primal gazelle I’m not sure why crit/vers being favored in those sims would surprise you. Mastery isn’t doing a whole lot for you on huge AoE pulls when you’re not running CT.

proud spruce
#

Such a small difference that it doesnt matter imo

#

2xTC if you like TC, 2xNP if you like that

hollow stone
#

@strange python if they are that close, i would go tc over np because it is slightly more versatile (tc has aoe/cleave usage while np is pure st)

strange python
#

True true, I got unlucky with buying Azerite chest so got TTK NP. it is not bad, But want 3xDD x)

karmic ingot
#

If the sim was done with 100% uptime on TC, then I’d lean toward the other option since 100% uptime is unrealistic.

strange python
#

90% uptime on TC

hollow stone
#

Thats the chest im using too atm, its ok

karmic ingot
#

Yeah, 90% seems reasonable based on actual logs.

strange python
#

how do i power level

#

im a new player

golden relic
#

@inner pecan 70k, wat

#

for like the 1st second or what

primal gazelle
#

lol i need a gear overhaul then, literally every single piece of my gear is crit/mast

inner pecan
#

nah like the first 10 seconds I guess

hallow coyote
#

You could go sub with those stats ha

obtuse ruin
#

anyone else get only 2 combo points when garrote from stealth on bosses?

#

with 2 SS traits

inner pecan
#

are you doing old raid content

hollow stone
#

Cps from ss do not stack, if thats what you mean. So even with 3ss, you still only get 3cp from 1 garr

inner pecan
#

sometimes those bosses reset your CP weirdly when you pull

obtuse ruin
#

yeah doing legacy raids

inner pecan
#

yeah that's the answer then

strange python
#

hey

obtuse ruin
#

so it is a bug then

strange python
#

anyone wanna help a newbie out

#

please advise

hollow stone
#

Then yea. What famo said. Its buggy w old raid content

obtuse ruin
#

probably should make a ticket and make blizz aware of this

inner pecan
#

it's not really a bug

hollow stone
#

I wouldnt waste your time

inner pecan
#

pulling raid bosses resets your CPs so you can't pre-bank CPs before pull

hollow stone
#

Yea. It "resets" your char when you pull a boss. Including dots, cps, etc

#

The interaction just ends up being weird sometimes

obtuse ruin
#

yeah but im technically getting 3 cps after I pull

#

yeah i guess

inner pecan
#

all you need to know is it never happens in any relevant content

obtuse ruin
#

oh ok
