Yea up the stairs
LOS works too but unreliable because there’s always one guy who ducks it up
yeh, i've been trying to tell my teams to murder the casters real quick so we don't pull the pat, and play the elemental with the templar downstairs so it'd be a lot easier
but somehow someone always gets hit by heaving blow when the rising tide happens or the tank falls over or something like that
You can just stay upstairs, have a ranged do the pulls and pull it up, so everything dies within same area and not have to deal with “waves” of reaping
I had a group that wanted to employ the strat of dragging mobs to the first platform for LOS in room. It was a massive waste of time.
hey guys, have just trialled PB > CT in m+, felt it was much stronger, i'm assuming it'll probably be stronger on conclave as well?
sorry, on opulence**
of course pb is better on opulence
the most important part of the fight is the rooms. The adds are nuked by 1 eyebeam or one outlaw rogue
if you're with a pug or something and it's literally down to you to kill the golds cna take CT
Is having two on use trinkets workable?
conclave is an ST fight pretending to be a multitarget fight
its not the best blaq. one will get okay uptime the other will take a big hit. neither of which will get the uptime of just 1 onuse
yeh 2 on use is pretty shit for assa imo
which slot should i gamble on with titan residium?
your worst...
whatever you're missing
what are these questions
xd
Got it. Bummer I've got a 400 BoD active trinket. Having trouble getting a decent passive trinket to go with
i gambled shoulders first, my guild is going to be low mythic so JFM shoulders are a long way away, going to gamble chest next as the grong one isn't fantastic
you mean yulon's?
ya
sims better than the 360 trinkets I'm getting in open world fwiw
can hit someone from range with that and restealth almost instantly
@copper kestrel thats why you go park your ass in LFG que for 10 freeholds till the sun dont shine anymore
freehold siege king's and shrine
say it with me :^)
FREEHOLD SIEGE KING'S AND SHRINE
FHSOBKRSOTS
he wants a passive though. so freehold/siege are his options
yeh
all 10s are an easy farm
shrine with pugs can get pretty yikes
is pugging 10s workable?
of course you can pug a 10
dope
even better if you have a dope caster or DH/WW as a friend to duo q into lfg with
like, the other guy can literally be doing 7k dps and you cna still time it
For hectic AoE such Opulence adds or reaping affix, is it better to FoK and apply finishers or just spam FoK? I've heard mixed reviews, hoping for clarification.
for 7-8+ adds
Got A 370 Lions guile and a 360 spyglass, sim says the spyglass is better, dunno if it really is better this tier (just coming back for this tier)
zhira both will be replaced very quickly if you continue to gear up. dont be so concerned with sims at your ilvl
DPS rotation question...
I normally save envenom til the last second to minimize clipping to give myself maximum envenom uptime and give myself the best chance at the most possible poison procs. is that correct, or should I be trying to hit it inside the 4s elaborate planning window?
EP dont matter much. envenom is the more important of the two
That's what I figured. I tore uldir up for the most part, but my parses lately have been just awful. trying to figure out where I'm falling short.
i'd say if you play bleed build EP matters more but if you play poison envenom matters more
whats the best trait setup and talent setup now for m+ ?
3xss 3xeb
theres no general THIS IS BEST IN M+ since it all comes down to the comp youre running with. but if you just care about what your meters say 3xss 3xeb are prob gonna be it
Or 3 EB 2 ttk 1 SS
ok thx ^^
If you’re doing high keys
ttk ?
Twist the Knife
ah ok ^^
Shouldn’t worry about that tho
No double dose?
3xss 2xeb 1xSoB is my sin m+ traits
Play 3 EB 3 SS with exsang and ct/pb till you’re comfortable first
DD is only good in st
Jaina shoulders shanksy?
I dont even know what my sin shoulders are. been playing outlaw in all keys last 2 weeks, lemme check real quick
darkwood sent shoulders. So the darkshore warfront ones
ye
Yeh was gonna say I’d play nothing but bleed build haha
im using vanish and meld everytime they are up
That’s so much energy regen for globals that actually do dmg
but 9 SS garrotes is obsurd dmg
Yeh
youre gonna over cap in aoe no matter what
140k a garrote x 9 capping energy so hard that the only finisher you’d consider is CT to refresh lmao
Actually disgusting
with sob im still spreading some ruptures out but its typically garrote everything ct then fok envenom till the cows come home
Biggest dam
Considering I feel like I’m already competitive with outlaw playing the build I am with slightly suboptimal traits with meld I think it might actually be better
Especially on weeks like this where you have to play mobs very even
You cant keep up when they do 300k on a reap and you only do 80k
the overall meters are what people look at for the most part, and outlaw is still ahead of sin, even on tyran weeks. but it always comes down to the comp you bring
But honestly what made me go for outlaw for the past two weeks was my 120k reforge bill, and that playing sin on explosive week is about as cancerous as anything else in the game
You don’t like spending 55 energy to pop an orb?
a lot of fun to me 🤔
I love dumping cp into explosives when i dont have any ruptures out because a boomy refuses to target them. What sin rogue wouldnt love being energy starved every single pull
Boomies arent especially great for expl. Better than us. But not great
or the constant over capping because you dont want to dump finishers into an explosive. honestly its just a lose lose
just let em blow up, fuck it
i just went toe to toe with a 2.1k IO 409 ilvl outlaw rogue in a UR 11 😮
i lost by 500 dps 😦
he had 6 ilvls over me tho so i guess not bad? wanted to beat him for the sin pride lol
am i seeing those logs right? you guys lusted 1 time?
and the prot war/frost mage stole all his chances of padding on the reaps
we drums first boss so it doesnt show
ah okay, makes sense
your comp, route/pull patterns and key level all go into determining which is better sin or outlaw but you did well
was pretty close tho, we kept switching who took #1 spot on details
fawkez if could be too many different variables for why your dmg is low in aoe. your gear could be trash or your azerite, you could be butchering the rotation, you could not be using vanish / meld / trinkets who knows what. You could be doing baby pulls and not given the chance to really shine.. its too hard to say with the information provided
because of no explosives, i assume its fine coing C.T now?
when would explosives change if you go pb/ct?
the determining factor for pb/ct is the dungeon youre running, the affixes in place and your ability to keep uptime on ct in the rotation
because youre taking time out for MUT's to kill the orbs
having to reapply ruptures/garrotes, it seems really hard to keep C.T, rups, and garrotes while having to waste energy on explosives
youre alwasy going to be energy starved in explosive week as sin. theres no way around it. the first wave spawn right after you 3x garrote. so you have decisions to make on your next move
is there a guide for which dungeons is better for pb/c.t?
In large pulls you actually dont reapply garrote unless its from vanish/meld. So just let them bad boys fall off, spread ruptures and ct . when you got all those out spam envenoms before rupture freshes
gotcha
ST-4 mobs i would keep at least 2 garrotes going though.
Should I take SS in raid encounters over Twist the knife if im not running exsang?
I think in that case youre suppose to sim yourself @violet sonnet
@violet sonnet you could run SS with subterfuge tb. But you can sim the talent combinations and find the best using top gear.
Hey does does the dot component of NP snapshot haste or is it dynamic
It's probably dynamic. The only reason exang snaps is the half time calculation of tick rate.
But idk.
I was assuming the same makes sense. But bliz u know
embrace of kimbul works with our mastery? it's a bleed "iving your damaging abilities a chance to make your target bleed for 6 seconds. This ability can stack up to 3 times." from the new zandalari racial if u take the kimbul shrine
The only bleeds our mastery affects are rupture,garrote, internal bleeding and crimson tempest afaik
Its a whitelist rather than blacklist, so anything other than rogue spells will not work
😦

What Pvp Trinket would you guys suggest i should pick?. Going for one of the top 2 and hope they forge or just go for the maledict to apply more pvp pressure ?
@primal gazelle ayy making us proud
i lost tho lol
didnt get a restealth for 3/5 reapings
i bet the outlaw rogue did that on purpose to sabotage me
idk why ppl seek outlaw, ok they ruine reaping spawn, but with a demono/warprot/dh comp the rogue just ruine all boss
its all about the comp surrealz. Most of the players, and i assume playters like you dont have a consistent group to run with. they are pugging keys where all that matters is the meters.
outlaw is better on mythic jaina than asa I think :]
i play only with the same comp and this is protwar/dh/demono/rogue/hmonk, so i dont need to go outlaw or echoing this week its overkill
just play whatever you find the most fun
"fun"
should you even bother runnin m+ as sin without 3 eb?
or is 2 fine enough
also do you run CT with that build?
Sin is fine in m+, and no you dont need 3eb to do it either. Will you be the greatest stabby boy out there? no, but you probably wont be anyways. If you dont enjoy playing the other specs stick to what you do enjoy. Remember you pay to play the game, play it however you want
i prefer to play the best way possible, so being average isn't how i want to be. i play outlaw in keys atm for obvious reasons
just didn't know if or when the eb build becomes competitive
Theres no "eb build"
Its just the same talents with EB instead of anything else
Sin is good in m+, its just much more demanding and harder to play compared to its ST rotation and compared to outlaw
Hello, simbot is suggesting me 2x "nothing personal"
should i roll with it? I was reading that energy regen doesnt stack
on this trait
Correct.
?i should roll with it even energy does not stack? or what do you mean ?D
It suggesting 2xNP is correct.
You rolling with it is correct.
The NRG regen does not stack is correct.
The SIM prior did not factor Haste into NP calculations.
EB was awesome before it was nerfed. I enjoyed it immensely for all of 3 hours
Having Hero/BL up with Vendetta is extreme damage now.
but should i postpone vendetta only cuz BL?
👌
EB on rasta is dumb idea right? even if you're in life stage?
meh, I'll stick to just SS
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2m9d4UsUd43Y8QityikdaM
What Pvp Trinket would you guys suggest i should pick?. Going for one of the top 2 and hope they forge or just go for the maledict to apply more pvp pressure ?
Just asking again now
so just going for the pvp way ?
ask in the pvp channel but maledict is bis
@gusty kestrel no lust in last phase
yeah but if the medallion forges it is bis for pve
ya Im still usin 385 socket medallion
so im unsure
Vanish bugged again with subt?
nope?
Does it matter which weapon has the enchant? (haste and crit are my primaries)
nope, and try mastery, simc
because asa benefits from it more
ya except the outlaw who did more p3 damage than all of the sin rogues?
Zz
in my sims outlaw has a higher average for a p3 jaina but near double standard deviation in its damage
and you can cloak the heart off for more uptime
to lessen the gap in asa's natural advantage over outlaw
Rogue job is boss dmg not padlawing all over blocks imo. But im not on jaina so what do i know
ya he did 27k boss dps
best sin rogue on public logs is honestly's asa rogue at 25.5 or something
which is about a standard deviation above his mean damage
Maybe he got godly rtb procs tho. Fair
yeah both of them were 1 std dev above what they sim on that fight I would estimate
Im not sure ill play outlaw on jaina because of p2 and 1 but for p3 on AVG it should be better
Outlaw's swing would be a larger amount. But sure. OL is prob fine
yep
you could do 19k with a perfect outlaw rotation in p3 but you could also do 27k
but its average will be higher if gear is equal because asa sims high normally because of vendetta + LUST
which you dont have
OTL has always been... "Yeah but you could do 20% over standard deviation!" though > _>
I guess all Im saying is, without lust asa loses a lot of its advantage over outlaw
OL also messes with timings for the bosses. Sin is consistent and easier to gauge
enough so that outlaw will do more on average
yeah you might do less wall damage on outlaw becuase you might have to hold AR or something idk didnt try it yet
their p1 p2 dmg should be very equal
mabye outlaw less if you get lots of mechanics
yeah the outlaw guy used a wits trait and cleaved but for me at least, that's about 100 dps loss over not having a wits trait and only pure ST
for sin I dont think it's worth dotting ele
Probably is. But again, idk from experience
it is worth making sure you have full dots on it before you're able to damage jaina that'd be good
We need some big bois in here
so if you get like a 30s rupture on ele then dmg jaina that'd be nice
they're tanked together right?
like the elemental and jaina
cuz getting energy to funnel ST is pretty nutty
not in like a balanced 2t
like you can get ~3-4 envenoms every toxic blade if you pool well
yeah they're tanked on each other
ya that rogue cast 21 roll the bones in the whole fight, getting 2 5-buffs
Does hidden blades have any place in m+? With 3x eb?
Doubt it.
MA is only simming 100 dps higher for me even tho i have no SS traits is this normal?
Do you use tb?
yes
The difference was never high
subterfuge it is then
which chest is best from residuum trader?
depends raiding or m+
also doesn't really matter cuz you get a random one anyway
just wanna know if the spymaster one is best for raiding
No but it is good
DD NP!
Anyone have an opinion of whether or not 3DD 3NP would be decent
Or will having a ttk be much better
All stacks of DD and NP are better than twist
The reason the chest with twist on it is the best is because of how much stronger overwhelming power is compared to the other options in that row
Fair
opinions on bis trinkets for m+?
Would you play a spyglass over a dice of the same ilevel eleem
Been using the dice but I’m unsure
Idk, dice is very good aswell, probably very equal
i have a deadeye 410, trying to replace my 380 galecaller
not sure what to target
Should i take 3 times Double Dose or 1 time Shrouded Suffocation and 2 times Double Dose for the entire raid? 😮
shrouded feels nice regardless of whether it sims better
in the end it up to you
¯_(ツ)_/¯
shrouded sims good
yah but dd might sim a tiny bit more? just sayin id take a small sim dps hit for shrouded is all
i would even say ss is overturned given it sims close on st to dd and gets a lot more powerful with more targets
Eventually all of you will give in to the power of MA 
shrouded suffocation stacking for m+ is the way to go, right?
unless tyrannical or smthn
SS, EB and Twist are the goto traits for m+ depending on what you want to do
Any mix of those traits and you're good
i dont think we'll give in to the power of MA if we keep stacking SS though 😛
when do you refresh rupture/garrote with exsanguinate?
at 0.0001 preferable

What is the general consensus of Vigor vs. DS? M+ vs Raid
Never DS, always vigor
Afaik, unless something changed recently, sin rogues dont run ds ever (this xpac, so far)
Incase you didnt misplace your question, sounds more like an outlaw question
That's what I figured. I've seen some running, but haven't seen it on any parse lists. Had a guy whisper me telling me my build was bad, not taking toxins in the first row and not using DS. figured it was a troll
Sounds like that guy is still in legion
Nah, I've run DS before to test it and it just feels awful. maybe with enough haste, but the energy regen feels awul and with mute costing 55energy, I couldn't see myself using it
That's what I told him
crimson tempest and exsang for freehold this week ok?
yup! PB vs CT is really close and more based on party/pull size
Same for Exsang but I feel it is more flexible since you can swap after Exsang a target for no DPS loss as opposed to TB locking you in on that target you use it on for the DMG increase. SS is almost always your M+ traits of choice and Exsang goes well with it as well. Again both those options on that row are competitive.
EDIT there is a command read that lmao
!ct
There is no specific week or affix that makes one or the other more viable.
CT vs PB is mainly down to your group, the dungeon itself and your pull sizes, with PB naturally having an edge in boss fights.
It's mainly the combination of affixes and dungeons that favour one or the other. High Tyr KR/Temple favour PB in general, due to low pulls and harder bosses.
In terms of Exsang vs TB; Exsang wins since it works well with SS traits and it's only 1 global on your priority target for some burst damage and extra energy.
TB usually locks you to that target to gain the most out of it.
😄
why do I even type anymore 😦
2 stacks of shrouded vs tidal surge and 1 shrouded?
Only a 2 percent difference.
Just asking for an opinion, not useless responses.
lol
2% isnt only
Small percents add up.
I figured as much. With the suggested adjustments, it's a difference of maybe 3% increase in DPS but I truly haven't been able to ever hit my peak in DPS cause I admit I'm not perfect.
But each bit helps.
I'm not sure I understand why twist the knife is good, am I missing an interaction/passive somewhere? I never seem to have trouble spreading poisons without envenom buff to application chance?
is the extra damage just scaled that high?
The increased envenom uptime is irrelevant. Its good for m+ because it allows you to get more of your damage into envenoms so you can focus one target a lot more
For example this week with bolstering, you want to kill the mobs at the same time. If theres a pack with 1 big mob and 4 small then having that extra damage on the big one is useful
what is the best lvl 45 talent for low levels?
ok thanks
with master assassin do i always line TB up with vendetta+vanish or will i just vanish>envenom without waiting for example TB
Its better to have them lined up, so assuming you dont miss any casts its better to do so
which most of the time means delaying vendetta+vanish a few seconds for TB rather than holding tb for an extended amount of time
Marked for Death is fun what a relief at lower levels
I always enjoyed m4d outlaw while leveling.
^ with legiondary shoulders 😃
Feels like longer envenom with twist isn't entirely irrelevant to DP application with FoK spam when some casts will be spreading ruptures. Possibly more so with scent?
did something changed in raidbots ? i am simming about 500 dps lower than yesterday with the same gear
was 24,5 yesterday
is anyone using hidden blades in mythic plus? wven with 3x echoing blades?
or is pb ct always going to be better?
Confirmed he stole your dps
anyone played with TTK in m+?
looking at trying it out since ive heard it. dropping two eb's for two TTK and idk if its gonna plow or not lol
hey guys, my alt rogue is up to 400 ilvl now and outlaw has been catching up sim wise to sin even though I have pretty ideal traits for sin. Starting to just run outlaw all the time because the AoE is much better without needing to hard trait into AoE. I enjoy playing them both but sin is a better thematic so I'd like to make it work.. is there a well rounded trait set up I should be aiming for? Current have 3x DD 2xTC 1xNP
for raid thats prety close to bis set up
Is that the Cotl head, jadefire shoulders, mekkatorque chest?
if not complete bis imo
Cuz if it is, you're not gonna get much better than that/
I think I have good azerite
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8EnkAweN7LL6M7CciVvSHU
its Cotl head jadefire shoulders and dungeon chest
¯_(ツ)_/¯
forget which dungeon tho
ye
we basically have same gear
but lower ilvls
lol
gonna give this a go later
wont beat outlaw im sure but maybe more prio dmg in underrot
Any recommendation for light weight WA?
Do ppl here prefer going no SS for ST? and go MA? I sim higher with no SS but it just feels so meh playing it compared to with SS
SS is only good once every two minutes
DD is good then entire fight no matter the killtime
I play outlaw in m+
ye u dont want ss then
no
you wont use it for the ads
?
its barely any damage
your opener and your vanishes
thats it
I know its logs but I just see top ppl still use SS
Well
cant expect alot of ppl to have all the azerites they want ideally either so
azerite wont give u a good rank alone
SS has a really good feel to it. That matters to some people above the numbers
I have 3dd and 1ss. and play subterfuge tb.
if u wanna play cause it feels better sure
you can play MA if you like
but dont ask whats the best then
but any time you can vanish gg. ss will take off.
When exsang comes off CD, do you hold it until you refresh your dots, or do you refresh bleeds immediately (and possibly losing some ticks if it’s before de 5/6 sec marker) to use exsang right after that?
you wanna refresh rupture preemptively, and make sure garrote isnt in pandemic range it doesnt need to be max
https://wago.io/Afenar_Rogue
^ i installed this WA but i get no pandemic flashes or outlaw buffs on it? any idea why that might be?
when do the first 2 adds spawn on stormwall blockade
completely depends how fast you push P1

Yeah that Mizerok guys WA are my favorites mmhmmm so good.
But it says Oi
It does.
Well if I've got you, does it add your utility cooldowns underneath the main bar?
No utility, I played with it for a week and didn't like them, so I removed them.
Fair enough, gunna test em each out on dummies, see which I like more
How should a opener with 2 targets look with subterfuge and shrouded suff look?
Garrote both
If you go back a few versions you should be able to find them, though I do not know how many it was, gotta be less than 5. @north leaf
I am betting that 95000 line one had the utility in it
G target 1, G t2, gt1, rupt t2, mutilate and rupture t1 is how I open 2 target
But I'm bad, so don't listen to me
@hoary crown put 1 garrote on the wimpy mob. tab 2 garrotes on prio mob, then rupture. that is the grg part of the opener. if you have exang or tb, follow the rest of that rotation from the guide.
if neither is worth of vendetta then just g tab g g rupture tab back for rupture on 1st
finally got my crit over 30%. just have shitter trinkets. so it doesnt stack up into the 50% range. 😦
Thank you so much guys 😃
@timid plume ss is insane on grong if you get good luck on spawns bc vanish lines up perfectly for a subt garrote on boss and both adds every time
Will be less boss dmg tho ofc
@strange python is that on ST? Pretty sure it is, try simming more than one and you will see you would prefer the 2 ss
Even in raid there are multi target scenarios on many bosses
Grong, jadefire and rastakhan are the fights where ss would be good
ok
so is it worth linking vendetta with lust even if you get 1 less vendetta
over the whole fight
like delaying it
to sync with lust
@high charm - Yeah, I went with two SS.
@strange python holy shit probably not.
its not like DH 5min meta. Vendetta syncs with vanish. thats the imortant part.
When fighting a big aoe pack and running CT, should i be applying 4/5cp dot with first use, then spamming instead of envenom? or just applying when needed to keep dot up?
CT is just an uptime thing tbh.
g g g ct fok and tab ruptures. after 4 ~ ruptures and if ct is up, then use env.
@marble hemlock is that 100k Env from 3 twist or just 2?
3
is your normal M+ kit actually your best slice sim, or do you just wing it with feels?
I have 2ss 1twist 1tc 1dd 1EB
i dont sim slice
its not representative of what i aim for in terms of itemization
i just do bigger aoe sims, 6-8t 40/60sec, which is just gonna spit out crit+mastery anyway
but i generally dont decide traits and stuff on sims
we pulled about 10-12 in a run today, and i got dumpstered by our DK made me sad but i still won overall by a lot
ive just always felt that ttk is gonna be good since it scales pretty well with what we go for in terms of itemization
high crit = high envenom uptimes, higher EP uptime on bosses too, and good value for prio
I like the idea behind the env hammer fed by fok crit
yep
the g g g vanish g g g pulls. only take me so far.
idk, i never did straightup 6 garrotes back to back
just regular g g g ct/env fok rup fok rup fok rup fok ct/env
its only after i had the time to set up a few ruptures that i look at mob-hp and calculate whether its worth to vanish for another triple garrote set or not
Is it not a good idea to set up a fok for at least 4 combo points before rupturing??
I don’t
even when not using ss
No
doubt its worth to do so
because they cant even be stacked
so you have to go out of your way to rupture them
maybe if you played some scuffed trait like SoB maybe then its worth
Not even sure the AGI is worth it at that point, considering how important blasting those bosses can be depending on your raid.
no idea but thats the only scenario where it might be actually st upgrade
but even if, it's gonna be minute
@spring iron fok r fok r fok r fok r fok ct. in big trash with big crit. most all of those are 4+cps. But the early ramp is about stabilizing energy return i dont ever do more than 2 fok though.
at the open.
Anyone know what traits to look for in 2v2?
What gem do I take for opulence?
Opal or emerald
Emerald > opal on farm
If you get 2 or less waves of adds
Not really. If you're forced to move from liquid gold you instantly lose your value, and it caps at 30%, meaning that by the 2nd add set (Also where you should lust) opal provides more damage than emerald
And the odds of not getting liquid gold on mythic are pretty slim
and you gotta take that shit pretty far or you're inting
Asking which gem to take is a sign of not doing mythic
Still losing stacks, and people ask shit about mythic here all the time
it's only the 4th boss
Yeah I mean it’s my first heroic raid and my guild isn’t even aotc yet. So I’m sure I’ll be forced to move a lot for adds
Opal for sure
Emerald really only gains value on short fights, and as a prog / not super quick klill opal will surpass
yeah
its left altar furthest from when you walk in
Just FoK when the adds come out and you'll get your buff
Ok got it
i am ruby bitch because I don't cry hard enough to pad
you shouldnt be ruby bitch
it only works off GCD casts
so assassination is terrible
I always do ruby:)
does any1 use elvui? if so, does anyone know if there is a way to change the enemy nameplates to give me knowledge if they are able to be stunned? some enemies appear like they would be able to get cc'd but they are immune or for whatever reason cannot be stunned
Learn them, or use a different nameplate addon that does that.
thank you
don't auto attacks also proc the ruby?
making the swap from exang to TB, any pointers? i cant seem to nail the rotation, feels very clunky
@warm ibex your avi is stupid.
avi?
the picture by your name. the one you picked. it is stupid.
and you are an idiot for picking that.
need I go on?
okay snowflake
it did snow today. but anti-Semitism has nothing to do with that.
you shouldn't flame it's not nice (:
aka get fucked nerd.
@pastel vault nope
"Added clarification on what actually triggers the ruby to apply the debuff (an ability/auto attack is needed)." wowhead was it changed?
Hm? IIRC it was just labeled as "Dealing Damage".
ive been told its ability casts so idk
but regardless if youre ruby bitch, you are doing something wrong
o _o
Yeah I am not giving some idiot that dies a lot the Ruby that's worth too much.
@royal lantern i would be more insterested in someone who always gets ruby then someone who try to top logs with opal
just saying
top logs from opal is killing the 3rd wave probably
and other ppl sucking at farm aoe
someone know if alch trinket is good for sin? gonna craft next week for outlaw, simms better then galecaller and better then spyglass
idk, but it is really good for hpal. but hes not my alch.
inst dat good for assassin https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qDg8e4m7gds5Zi1f5999Ja
thats not bad. and pretty easy to get
might play it over gcb in M+ due to movement.
Ive been running my bijou cause the gcb circle is dead to me.
i wish my outlaw could do dat simulation on ST
outlaw almost full gear, with bis set up

Doing ruby as sin just sucks
Literally the only change is using poisoned knife if you have to range the boss for 5 seconds
could u tell me , how u change ur gameplay based on gem?
Sin isn't good at stacking it
1 person per side gets the ruby. Do the job.
2.5 debuff time
for mythic then?
Yes
Ah, I was stuck on heroic. 5s
Heroic doesn't matter
sin shouldnt be doing ruby job ever
But as sin on mythic you can get it to drop off very easily
@strange python didnt get how this change ur playstyle, sry if im sounding badly
just want to undestant, to improv if is a good thing
It does on mythic
SIN is also one of the faster attackers and won't let Ruby drop.
You have to use 3 combo finishers at time
Just to keep it up
It doesn't proc off autos
@rustic ether outlaw can do a good job as ruby carry
I mean a lot of guilds have 2 ppleach sude on ruby
While sin has one of the lowest apm
my guild use 5 rubys just for safe, just need ruby to kill the boss
eh, it is better on other melee classes
If rather have dh on opal
sin has a slow APM, wich is not that good for the ruby
To pump adds
but tbh, the difference is not too big too make a huge difference
Phase 2 tends to ve the easier phase so i mean you dont need to min max those gem usage usually. 4 ppl on ruby is quite normal
Ya I have ruby also
Same as assa
So omr I am sure you noticed on mythic you have to slow things down even more to make sure you don't let it drop
Its never been an issue for me I just play normally
I am guessing you never been by yourself haha
Ye i never pay attention to it and it always stays up
One of our last pulls has 3 people with ruby on one side
But ye if I was alone itll be slow
And I was the only one on right lol
But fights right in with our playstyle
O _O
one way i'm able to bypass designated ruby shenanigans is by just taking the opal
if someone calls u out just say it was a misclick - works like a charm
if you are assigned red and dont get red, there are only a few times thats gonna work out
if you are the raid leader, and cant bench yourself. yay
lol
or if you are in a guild that was a heroic prog raid last tier and trying to push the envelope a lil and see how far u can go in mythic, too probably. That way you are most likely going to be an asset no matter what, and failures might be a little more commonplace and acceptable?
but in all srsns, get the opal if u want any dmg 😄
and make sure someone has Ruby that won't drop because that's more DMG than Opal.

whats the kill order for conclave?
Depends on comp.
Low dispells kill buffer second, Low heals kill Kimbal second, etc.

what is pandemic timer 3 sec?
5.4 for Garrote, ~7.2 for Rupture
Do I use shrouded suffocation garrote? And does it stack?
The damage stacks. The combo point bonus does not.
Does it pair with other SS?
What do you mean pair
Like if I use ss toxic blades and ss garrote will it stack?
Still not quite sure what you're asking. All damage stacks. The utility does not.
Poor giggle
is the darkshore world boss up? i just came to darkshore and i have nothin on my map that looks liek a wq
that likely depends if you are horde or alliance
im alliance
i just came to darkshore and i have no icons on map. and ive done the darkshore scenario and battle so idk why i wouldnt have wq here
u always know if the arathi/darkshore wq's and world bosses are up/available to you just by looking to see if the portal(s) are availabe to use by the boat
assuming you've gotten that far in the questline with at least 1 character and are lvl 120 i think
yea no point in flying there or anything
ok cool
is there a crit % to aim for?
!cap
100% is crit cap
I imagine crit becomes kinda meh when you get 100 crit
So that’s probably a good cap to aim for
Does vanish/evasion work for coin shower on opulence?
any way for rogue to immune coin shower on mythic opulence?
bop is the way
You can’t immune coin shower with anything in our kit no
I kinda wonder if you can shadowstep it or grapple it tho
Does it actually land on you or is it just like a pulse from where you’re standing
you can survive it with the talent?
elusiveness?
it goes way over the cheat cap i thought so no way to live it
Use stamina flask so u can survive it 5Head
cant survive coinshower by yourself unless you get a BoP
I remember in kj prog I had to soak a big armageddon with feint and cheat
Hi, im wondering. is 2x Treacherous covenants better than 2x Nothing personal?
Can you sim that?
do you have the pieces?
very easy to sim on raidbots.com if you do just by the top gear option
Its the same piece with the convenant and NP
Can you switch the traits inside of raidbots?
Yes
you are limited in how many things you can sim unless you pay for a sub but its pretty generous
but you can select traits and gear in yoru bags and change enchants and figure out what is best
Thank you very much, is it top gear och Gear compare?
even tough MA is simming slightly higher, would you take MA and hope for those juicy crits or du you prefer taking subterfuge for the guranteed dmg ? Whats your preference guys?
I like MA
it's less of hoping for juicy crits and being annoyed if it somehow doesn't crit
shouldnt you vanish after TB?
yeah, I go tb-vanish-mut-env-mut
see I too regularly only got 3CP from that 1st mut
Tb vanish env mut env or vanish tb env mut
so the opener would be garr-mut-rup-mut then vanish-env-mut the way you describe it @vast forum?
G m r vend tb m vanish env m env OR g m r vend m vanish tb env m
Rule is 4+ cp finisher with vigor
If envenom is up, yes
Yeh so even if you get rekt on the muti after env and have to muti again it’d be more
best 100 talents for m+ this week?
situational depending on key level and whether you care about winning overall at the end or maxing boss damage
PB then
you will do fine with a full single target build in kings rest hardly any big pulls and the reapings arent big etiher
Is there a dagger that stands out for ST dmg, just like outlaw has the underrot fist weapon but then for assasination?
Alright ty
Is it worth buying a random 415 azerite gear on assasination and in that case what piece ?
do you do mythic?
if you do chest is probably best option as the good chest drops off of meka which is a bit later in the raid
the helm from the first boss and shoulders from masters you can aim for early in the raid
np
if you didn't do mythic id have just said to go with wahtever your weakest slot is

do you believe that mastery haste enchant in weap is better than crit haste?
for an ass roguelike me that plays with mastery haste
What do you think? Outlaw or Assas for mythic opulence?
no but i play with haste mastery
not crit haste
so i was thinking
maybe i should follow same tact to my ench weapons
@strange python sim it
if you do the crit buff right and have a few bursty aoe classes adds shouldnt be an issue anyway
does bf spread the ruby buff on opulence? I know fok does
if you end up being ruby bitch anyway
Quick question guys - BiS gem for socket for sin? pawn saying Mastery, sims are simming haste, but then every other sim it puts one random mastery gem in with 2 haste.....not sure why
@heavy skiff have only come to add phase once so really dont know
what gem are you taking?
opal
the gem your raidleader tells you too take
i am taking opal
Wouldn't opal be a good choice if only due to FoK?
adds DPS shouldnt be an issue, so take your best ST spec.
well dont i need to FOK just once and i will have full stack?
take my chances buying a random 415 chest or wait another 400 titan resid for bis?
@strange python well you know what i mean
4000 titan
I thought Ruby increased damage on the adds for every instant of damage you dealt to them?
it can't stack more than once per second
thats the opal
Yeah so FoK every GCD or two, would give you stacks no?
Ruby stacks once per second.
yeah ruby stacks once per second, opal only stacks once per target
Wait hold on
ruby buffs everyones damage to the adds
Opal self buff, Ruby raid buff.
yus
Does Ruby place a debuff on the target you hit?
But only when you hit the target, right?
Right, so FoK would be the best choice right?
Yepp
its pretty easy to get 4 or 5 stacks+ on the adds and with crit buff and opal they should melt from other classes
Mut each add would suck balls :p
Lol
I'd personally let others burst em down but I never set up my outlaw spec properly
Yeah I just wanted to confirm I had understood the ruby gem because people were confusing me.
ruby gem is vital
and it drops really fast
i think a lot of teams are running with 4 of them? its impossible to run the gold out and keep stacks up because you have to take it miles out
we had 4 Ruby's, just to be safe its up 100% of the time
yeah
for m+, 0xEB and 2xDD or 1x EB and 1x DD?
How high can it stack?
im not sure if there is a cap
ive seen over 120
with tha tmany stacks boss just falls over
yes
you can hit them all with fok
You hit 6 targets, raid gets 6% damage on all adds
at the start anyway
You hit 6 targets, each target get 1 stack
K good.
Trying to figure out how someone has seen 120 stacks xD
The adds must have been up forever
Or everybody took ruby
Probably not on adds no, but on boss 😃
But tbh i dont know if there is a cap/max stacks on Ruby, never paid attention to the amount of stacks just that there was stacks 😄
Oh. :|
adds not the hardest part of the fight porlly over thinking it tbh
get to that phase with everyone up and the boss prolly die in a few pulls
Second time in p2 boss died for us.
@crimson condor sim with dungeon slice. But dd is not good for m+. Most use a combination of SS. Eb. twist.
I've only wiped to that phase once and it was when my guild decided to yolo normal wail of greed without an amethyst 😂
Opal is capped at 20x
talking about Ruby Noobe
👌
Think ruby cap i s 150
Pretty sure my guild capped on 150 atleast when over half the raid died on normal
lol thats good to know
might as well quit for tier can't really get much better gear
pray for weapons so you can 😛
ye better weap, and maybe rings
socket ring might be hard to replace
pulsing veins 410 give equal dps sim
Toxic blade or Exsanguinate for m+ this week?
your call as to whether you want to be tied to a mob for the duration or xsang and move onto another one, most prefer xsang in dungeons
does anyone know if you cloak one of the soaks on mythic blockade whether you get knocked back?
you can cloak it I believe
I did it and took 0 damage
that or I had someone focus healing me, but I am pretty confident you can cloak it
wait nvm I didn't see you said mythic, I haven't done mythic
2x NP traits better than 1x NP and 1x coven? general thinking? Cant sim because stupid azerite swap cost..
What should my baseline stats be looking like?
@dapper moat For me, sim tell me 1x TC + 1x NP is better
you can with Top Gear
"Cant sim because stupid azerite swap cost.." wait what?
hey all im new to the channel and was wondering if 20 percent haste was good
i have been trying to look up what it should be without much luck
@strange python well i have simmed my azerite talents in a way where i have changed traits and then simmed and then changed back now its 100k to change talents 😄
uh oh, that hurts 😭
yeah the gold cost is stupid I refuse to waste so much
just use raidbots.com to figure out what is best 😛
yeah i try to push higher keys same time as we try to progress raid with the guild..
but it kinda sucks if you want to min max for raid and dungeons
but most of the time a pure single target build can do reasonably ok depending on key
thats why i use 1x ss in raids too instead of MA
just gotta not tlook at overall and carry bosses 😛
3xdd 1xss with subterfuge atm
that would suck a little bit for dungeoning 😦
meh id take 1 ss even if it simmed a little worse just because i like subt and ss
but thats just me
3 ss is not terrible
well yeah me too, i like the rotation much better than the original MA one 😄
i think i would go to 3xss but
im bad with exang
@elder gulch yeah 20percent haste is good. I run with 20% haste 30% mastery
thanks 😃
@steep obsidian you can cloak and immune the damage, you'll still get knockbacked but you can instantly step back to boss
yeah i figured that the step is fine then because even if you ended up in pools you could still have cloak up and enough time to move out might be an option for a hero save if tank soak fucks p
Quick question here. Im only doing M+ and currently are at 370. I play assassination because its the one ive played the most in the past. I see lots of top streamer playing outlaw in M+. Is there a point in gear where outlaw became better then assassination?
(i sim like 200dps difference)
maybe a question for outlaw peeps unless one of the dudes who pushes really high keys can answer
outlaw is obv superior for cleave
3eb makes sin cleave really well
true but outlaw is still more consistent
and for azerite... i see herodamage vs bloodmallet dont suggest the same azerite
those lists are only a guide I think bm sims with different talents but not 100% sure I'd just sim what you have to find out what is best
on herodamage they suggest to stack shrouded suffocation vs echoing blade for bloodmallet
can you vanish coinshower on opulence?
any changes? got galecallers with socket and now exang sims over tb ...
There is nothing a rogue can do to survive coinshower without external help
thanks
On mythic that is
hi guys one question 😛 does someone have the box where the titanic waste that they deliver according to the level of key you make is seen?
@cobalt pelican thanks 
It's meant to be
What do you do if you need to refresh rupture while Toxic blade is off cooldown or on the target ?
Prioritize rupture imo
And how much energy should you pool before entering TB window :S?
I typically pool ~100, so I can maximize envenoms during my TB windows
Depends on your personal haste of course, but that's typically enough. Never want to overpool
Ah okey thx for the tips mate ! 😃
No worries! 😃
Is it crucial to have 1 shrouded suff trait ? :S
Does nothing personal scale off haste when vendetta is used or does it change depending on haste % whenever during the vendetta
Its dynamic, ie it changes depending on how much you have during the vendetta
@hoary crown For ST no not at all

what is the rotation for MA instead of subter?
tfw you're wearing maledict instead of harlans
or is it still the same? surely not ya?
It’s not the same you can check ravenholdt for the opener or you can sim yourself check the sample opener
TFW your guild insists on pulling when your mekka trinket has cycled down.
Is it possible to evasion the coin shower on oppulence mythic
apprently i got told they can -.-
which gem do we take on opulence?
Opal unless you’re in ruby
opal, fok adds
@hoary crown "What do you do if you need to refresh rupture while Toxic blade is off cooldown or on the target ?"
Dont delay TB. Use on CD and adjust around it.
@loud niche with subterfuge your main damage is garrote
so both the opener and stuff you do around vanish is different
comparing to MA
@pseudo finch Rogues cannot survive coinshower on mythic without externals
When doing champs fight, do you just focus the main boss or do you try to fok/multi dot?
When stacking them up, ofc
Thank you @lone junco and @spice surge
what happened to nothing personal that it jumped so high suddenly on the sims ? jadefire shoulders not good anymore for me coz i got DD NP shoulders from vendor
Np was fixed in the sims to scale with haste
when you shround in Underrot is there a mob you have to sap while you are walking down the ramp?
You can't shroud the ramp. Matrons see stealth. But it's not a bad idea to sap one of the casters at the bottom. Better safe than sorry and there's no loss or extra effort in doing so
Where can you shroud in Underrot then?
If you clear the ramp, you can shroud the mask pull
thanks @vast forum
If you shroud the ramp you can basically go the entire rest of the dungeon without having to shroud again. But you can shroud as an option past the big Yogg Baby patrol after the skele pack after the thrid boss
A lot of groups i’ve seen are also shrouding the skeleton pack after 2nd boss
Shouldn't bother, IMO. You can clear half the boss room and trigger reaping on the skeletal pack. makes a nice funnel
But I guess if you don't have offensive dispels, that pack is annoying
Yeah, but with fortified these skeletons can hit tank really hard
If you lust the first boss, you can clear that skele pack and a little past it to get your lust/hero timer back to use on the crawg
Then you don't lust again til the last boss
+1
I’m curious how many %dps can you forgive to go with SS and Subt instead of MA and no SS traits
Because im in the place when MA simms the highest and i have no problem(despite using vanish and getting only 2CPs from Mut xd), and subt with one SS sims around 3% lower than my actual setup
Would you stay with MA or rather would you go with this smooth rotation, which SS and Subt combo provides
@fair blaze 3% is pretty far. I have a setup that is like 0.3% loss. maybe you can meet in the middle with 3dd 1ss. subterfuge tb
whats the timing on the sprint
on jaina
when youre walking over the frzoen lake
to interrupt
do i pop cloak straight away, sprint and run at her
or like
sprint
and then cloak near her
and shadowstep interrupt
help a brother out quick
dont have much time
@lone junco yeah for example, changing only to subterfuge is 0.1% diffrence, but i feel it a little clunky to play subt without SS traits
Crit cap is 100%
It seems like there are certain points where stats start to lose value. Example: Crit>Mastery until around 25% crit, then mastery takes over. I think mastery takes over haste somewhere in the realm of 1200 haste rating, whatever that gets you---anecdotally
When in doubt, sim yourself up. If you have 2 pieces of gear that are very close (much less than 1%) use some common sense to determine which piece is a better fit for you/your playstyle.
because my enchant is haste, and my gem too, but i saw a assasination rogue with full mastery in a m+
he was doing a decent damage
Mastery is valued higher than haste in multi-target situations
So, he probably performed better on trash than on bosses
but not that bad !
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qVdwBSJiKYXrYuBtvourCV
For me at 23 crit, 23 haste, 27 mastery
Can you stop posting your sim, you make us feel uncomfortable
😂 he's just brushing his epeen on us now
we speak about stat weight
¯_(ツ)_/¯
just to show sometimes mastery going over haste
i'm still asking myself why sims tell me to use 1TC & 1NP over 2NP since the change on NP
Or your mastery is low
yes it is
932 mastery is 35%
Hey guys, i'm fairly new to assassination rogue (started in bfa) and in now running with a guild that is logging all bod fights and my parses are'nt good, can someone explain me what i'm doing wrong? thanks in advance

@rigid yacht for a SS subterfuge >0 + tb opener, this is borked.
Big deeps from @light jacinth for r1 conclave though. 30k DD crits 👌
@lone junco so is my opener the most impactful missplay i do or is there something along the fight i can improove except the obvious (keeping dots up, never overwriting ss garrots)?
Hey guys does the DD trait only work, when critting with Mutilate?
cause the passive says, that when you crit you hit with both weapons and generating 4 CPs
and since DD means it does +dmg, when you do dmg with both weapons?
No, u always hit with both weps
@rigid yacht Try to have ~100 energy before TB come off CD to have more envenoms, because there are moments in fight when you press TB and and follow with only one envenom
Each of the 2 hits of mutilate have a chance to apply deadly poison, dd procs when both do
Also @rigid yacht you are playing with subterfuge, so why didn’t you garrote 2 bosses to have energy regen increased? The same thing is with internal bleeding, you casted kidney only once
Ib is not too obvious
Hey guys I am struggling to do my Opener right in the raid
I have the feeling, that there is insane input lagg in Raids
I press the button and nothing happens
and sometimes my gcd isnt even over and I can use abilities
Make sure you don't have crazy Spell Queue Window applied through an add on or something.
Do you just have bad lag?
I dont know. It doesnt really feel laggy
happens
