So everything spawns at the same spot

#

200 iq

bleak spoke
#

like around the staircase?

#

where the droplets were?

primal gazelle
#

Yea up the stairs

#

LOS works too but unreliable because there’s always one guy who ducks it up

bleak spoke
#

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

primal gazelle
#

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

prime stirrup
#

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.

robust cloak
#

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**

prime stirrup
#

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

bleak spoke
#

if you're with a pug or something and it's literally down to you to kill the golds cna take CT

copper kestrel
#

Is having two on use trinkets workable?

bleak spoke
#

conclave is an ST fight pretending to be a multitarget fight

prime stirrup
#

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

bleak spoke
#

yeh 2 on use is pretty shit for assa imo

tawny iris
#

which slot should i gamble on with titan residium?

prime stirrup
#

your worst...

bleak spoke
#

whatever you're missing

prime stirrup
#

what are these questions

bleak spoke
#

xd

copper kestrel
#

Got it. Bummer I've got a 400 BoD active trinket. Having trouble getting a decent passive trinket to go with

robust cloak
#

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

bleak spoke
#

you mean yulon's?

copper kestrel
#

ya

bleak spoke
#

that thing is g a r b

#

has some outside use in pvp

copper kestrel
#

sims better than the 360 trinkets I'm getting in open world fwiw

bleak spoke
#

can hit someone from range with that and restealth almost instantly

prime stirrup
#

@copper kestrel thats why you go park your ass in LFG que for 10 freeholds till the sun dont shine anymore

bleak spoke
#

freehold siege king's and shrine

#

say it with me :^)

#

FREEHOLD SIEGE KING'S AND SHRINE

robust cloak
#

FHSOBKRSOTS

prime stirrup
#

he wants a passive though. so freehold/siege are his options

bleak spoke
#

yeh

robust cloak
#

fh is an easy farm

#

keys just fall over, especially this week

prime stirrup
#

all 10s are an easy farm

bleak spoke
#

shrine with pugs can get pretty yikes

copper kestrel
#

is pugging 10s workable?

prime stirrup
#

of course you can pug a 10

bleak spoke
#

you can solo carry a 10

#

as a rogue

copper kestrel
#

dope

bleak spoke
#

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

peak jungle
#

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

stray pumice
#

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)

prime stirrup
#

zhira both will be replaced very quickly if you continue to gear up. dont be so concerned with sims at your ilvl

ruby oxide
#

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?

prime stirrup
#

EP dont matter much. envenom is the more important of the two

ruby oxide
#

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.

bleak spoke
#

i'd say if you play bleed build EP matters more but if you play poison envenom matters more

royal widget
#

whats the best trait setup and talent setup now for m+ ?

prime stirrup
#

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

bleak spoke
#

Or 3 EB 2 ttk 1 SS

royal widget
#

ok thx ^^

bleak spoke
#

If you’re doing high keys

royal widget
#

ttk ?

bleak spoke
#

Twist the Knife

royal widget
#

ah ok ^^

bleak spoke
#

Shouldn’t worry about that tho

ruby oxide
#

No double dose?

prime stirrup
#

3xss 2xeb 1xSoB is my sin m+ traits

bleak spoke
#

Play 3 EB 3 SS with exsang and ct/pb till you’re comfortable first

heavy skiff
#

DD is only good in st

bleak spoke
#

Jaina shoulders shanksy?

prime stirrup
#

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

bleak spoke
#

Oh

#

Alliance?

prime stirrup
#

ye

bleak spoke
#

I wish I could play nelf for dungeons

#

Meld seems so op

prime stirrup
#

thats prob why im 3xss 2xeb

#

and you are 3xeb 1xss

bleak spoke
#

Yeh was gonna say I’d play nothing but bleed build haha

prime stirrup
#

im using vanish and meld everytime they are up

bleak spoke
#

That’s so much energy regen for globals that actually do dmg

prime stirrup
#

but 9 SS garrotes is obsurd dmg

bleak spoke
#

Yeh

prime stirrup
#

youre gonna over cap in aoe no matter what

bleak spoke
#

140k a garrote x 9 capping energy so hard that the only finisher you’d consider is CT to refresh lmao

#

Actually disgusting

prime stirrup
#

with sob im still spreading some ruptures out but its typically garrote everything ct then fok envenom till the cows come home

bleak spoke
#

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

prime stirrup
#

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

ruby oxide
#

You don’t like spending 55 energy to pop an orb?

prisma beacon
#

a lot of fun to me 🤔

prime stirrup
#

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

hollow stone
#

Boomies arent especially great for expl. Better than us. But not great

prime stirrup
#

or the constant over capping because you dont want to dump finishers into an explosive. honestly its just a lose lose

visual quartz
#

just let em blow up, fuck it

primal gazelle
#

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

rich linden
#

For AoE weeks, how many stacks of E.B do we want on traits?

#

3 is fine?

prime stirrup
#

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

primal gazelle
#

we drums first boss so it doesnt show

prime stirrup
#

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

primal gazelle
#

was pretty close tho, we kept switching who took #1 spot on details

prime stirrup
#

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

rich linden
#

because of no explosives, i assume its fine coing C.T now?

prime stirrup
#

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

rich linden
#

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

prime stirrup
#

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

rich linden
#

is there a guide for which dungeons is better for pb/c.t?

prime stirrup
#

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

rich linden
#

gotcha

prime stirrup
#

ST-4 mobs i would keep at least 2 garrotes going though.

violet sonnet
#

Should I take SS in raid encounters over Twist the knife if im not running exsang?

rich linden
#

I think in that case youre suppose to sim yourself @violet sonnet

lone junco
#

@violet sonnet you could run SS with subterfuge tb. But you can sim the talent combinations and find the best using top gear.

hazy ravine
#

Hey does does the dot component of NP snapshot haste or is it dynamic

lone junco
#

It's probably dynamic. The only reason exang snaps is the half time calculation of tick rate.

#

But idk.

hazy ravine
#

I was assuming the same makes sense. But bliz u know

elder gulch
#

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

spice surge
#

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

elder gulch
#

😦

bleak spoke
#

@primal gazelle ayy making us proud

primal gazelle
#

i lost tho lol

#

didnt get a restealth for 3/5 reapings

#

i bet the outlaw rogue did that on purpose to sabotage me

twilit portal
#

idk why ppl seek outlaw, ok they ruine reaping spawn, but with a demono/warprot/dh comp the rogue just ruine all boss

prime stirrup
#

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.

pastel vault
#

outlaw is better on mythic jaina than asa I think :]

twilit portal
#

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

primal gazelle
#

just play whatever you find the most fun

magic thorn
#

"fun"

civic forge
#

should you even bother runnin m+ as sin without 3 eb?

#

or is 2 fine enough

#

also do you run CT with that build?

prime stirrup
#

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

civic forge
#

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

spice surge
#

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

honest onyx
#

Hello, simbot is suggesting me 2x "nothing personal"

#

should i roll with it? I was reading that energy regen doesnt stack

#

on this trait

civic palm
#

Correct.

honest onyx
#

?i should roll with it even energy does not stack? or what do you mean ?D

civic palm
#

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.

green bison
#

EB was awesome before it was nerfed. I enjoyed it immensely for all of 3 hours

civic palm
#

Having Hero/BL up with Vendetta is extreme damage now.

honest onyx
#

but should i postpone vendetta only cuz BL?

civic palm
#

Not for a long time you shouldn't.

#

or at all.

honest onyx
#

cool i tought that

#

thank you very much sir

civic palm
#

👌

lost sentinel
#

EB on rasta is dumb idea right? even if you're in life stage?

#

meh, I'll stick to just SS

magic thorn
primal gazelle
#

super dumb idea

#

maledict for sure

magic thorn
#

so just going for the pvp way ?

primal gazelle
#

ask in the pvp channel but maledict is bis

pastel vault
#

@gusty kestrel no lust in last phase

magic thorn
#

yeah but if the medallion forges it is bis for pve

pastel vault
#

ya Im still usin 385 socket medallion

magic thorn
#

so im unsure

untold current
#

Vanish bugged again with subt?

civic palm
#

nope?

copper kestrel
#

Does it matter which weapon has the enchant? (haste and crit are my primaries)

warm geode
#

nope, and try mastery, simc

pastel vault
#

because asa benefits from it more

warm geode
#

telling to simc enchants on weapon, hast crit and mastery

#

mastery could be better

pastel vault
#

ya except the outlaw who did more p3 damage than all of the sin rogues?

hollow stone
#

Zz

pastel vault
#

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

hollow stone
#

Rogue job is boss dmg not padlawing all over blocks imo. But im not on jaina so what do i know

pastel vault
#

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

hollow stone
#

Maybe he got godly rtb procs tho. Fair

pastel vault
#

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

hollow stone
#

Outlaw's swing would be a larger amount. But sure. OL is prob fine

pastel vault
#

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

civic palm
#

OTL has always been... "Yeah but you could do 20% over standard deviation!" though > _>

pastel vault
#

I guess all Im saying is, without lust asa loses a lot of its advantage over outlaw

hollow stone
#

OL also messes with timings for the bosses. Sin is consistent and easier to gauge

pastel vault
#

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

hollow stone
#

And 2 target cleave of sin would be nice for ele + jaina

#

I can see args

pastel vault
#

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

hollow stone
#

Probably is. But again, idk from experience

pastel vault
#

it is worth making sure you have full dots on it before you're able to damage jaina that'd be good

hollow stone
#

We need some big bois in here

pastel vault
#

so if you get like a 30s rupture on ele then dmg jaina that'd be nice

bleak spoke
#

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

pastel vault
#

yeah they're tanked on each other

regal moss
#

all u need is a single 5 buff

#

to ez clap

rose perch
#

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.

tacit knoll
#

what enchants should i get for raidin?

#

weapon

dark crag
#

Your 2 best simming stats

strange python
#

MA is only simming 100 dps higher for me even tho i have no SS traits is this normal?

dark crag
#

Do you use tb?

strange python
#

yes

dark crag
#

The difference was never high

subterfuge it is then

thorn tartan
#

which chest is best from residuum trader?

timber geyser
#

depends raiding or m+

bleak spoke
#

also doesn't really matter cuz you get a random one anyway

vast forum
#

You can buy specific

#

Just takes a while

thorn tartan
#

just wanna know if the spymaster one is best for raiding

spice surge
#

No but it is good

bleak spoke
#

DD NP!

#

Anyone have an opinion of whether or not 3DD 3NP would be decent

#

Or will having a ttk be much better

spice surge
#

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

bleak spoke
#

Fair

crimson condor
#

opinions on bis trinkets for m+?

spice surge
#

Things that give crit

#

Deadeye/mekkatorque are really good ones

bleak spoke
#

Would you play a spyglass over a dice of the same ilevel eleem

#

Been using the dice but I’m unsure

spice surge
#

Idk, dice is very good aswell, probably very equal

crimson condor
#

i have a deadeye 410, trying to replace my 380 galecaller

#

not sure what to target

bleak spoke
#

Shrine or King’s

#

On use feels pretty great with vendetta

reef orchid
#

Should i take 3 times Double Dose or 1 time Shrouded Suffocation and 2 times Double Dose for the entire raid? 😮

steep obsidian
#

shrouded feels nice regardless of whether it sims better

#

in the end it up to you

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vestal wren
#

shrouded sims good

steep obsidian
#

yah but dd might sim a tiny bit more? just sayin id take a small sim dps hit for shrouded is all

vestal wren
#

i would even say ss is overturned given it sims close on st to dd and gets a lot more powerful with more targets

spice surge
#

Eventually all of you will give in to the power of MA ionAddons

small hollow
#

shrouded suffocation stacking for m+ is the way to go, right?

#

unless tyrannical or smthn

spice surge
#

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

pliant nest
#

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?

ruby oxide
#

What is the general consensus of Vigor vs. DS? M+ vs Raid

spice surge
#

Never DS, always vigor

hollow stone
#

Afaik, unless something changed recently, sin rogues dont run ds ever (this xpac, so far)

spice surge
#

Incase you didnt misplace your question, sounds more like an outlaw question

ruby oxide
#

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

hollow stone
#

Sounds like that guy is still in legion

ruby oxide
#

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

shadow parrot
#

crimson tempest and exsang for freehold this week ok?

elfin plaza
#

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

spice surge
#

!ct

prisma monolithBOT
#

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 😦

strange python
#

2 stacks of shrouded vs tidal surge and 1 shrouded?

#

Only a 2 percent difference.

#

Just asking for an opinion, not useless responses.

#

lol

solid nova
#

2% isnt only

strange python
#

I don't see a difference, to be honest.

#

play what u want

solid nova
#

Id say 2% is pretty sizable, if you dont think its a big difference

#

take whichever

strange python
#

kk

#

thanks

elfin plaza
#

Small percents add up.

strange python
#

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.

spare dragon
#

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?

spice surge
#

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

strange python
#

what is the best lvl 45 talent for low levels?

spare dragon
#

MfD

#

if you 1-3 shot mobs it is super good

strange python
#

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

spice surge
#

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

strange python
#

Marked for Death is fun what a relief at lower levels

lone junco

I always enjoyed m4d outlaw while leveling.

ember saddle
#

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

polar bridge
#

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

round harbor
#

for raid thats prety close to bis set up

raven mica
#

Is that the Cotl head, jadefire shoulders, mekkatorque chest?

round harbor
#

if not complete bis imo

Cuz if it is, you're not gonna get much better than that/

earnest pilot
#

no

timid plume
#

etc

#

JFM

earnest pilot
#

you wont use it for the ads

#

?

#

its barely any damage

#

your opener and your vanishes

#

thats it

timid plume
#

I know its logs but I just see top ppl still use SS

golden relic
#

Well

#

cant expect alot of ppl to have all the azerites they want ideally either so

#

azerite wont give u a good rank alone

ruby oxide
#

SS has a really good feel to it. That matters to some people above the numbers

lone junco
#

I have 3dd and 1ss. and play subterfuge tb.

golden relic
#

if u wanna play cause it feels better sure

lone junco
#

you can play MA if you like

golden relic
#

but dont ask whats the best then

lone junco
#

but any time you can vanish gg. ss will take off.

amber talon
#

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?

pastel vault
#

you wanna refresh rupture preemptively, and make sure garrote isnt in pandemic range it doesnt need to be max

spare dust

^ i installed this WA but i get no pandemic flashes or outlaw buffs on it? any idea why that might be?

lone junco
#

i use the Mizerok kit. Big fan.

strange python
#

when do the first 2 adds spawn on stormwall blockade

inner pecan
#

completely depends how fast you push P1

civic palm
#

Yeah that Mizerok guys WA are my favorites mmhmmm so good.

north leaf
#

But it says Oi

civic palm
#

It does.

north leaf
#

Well if I've got you, does it add your utility cooldowns underneath the main bar?

civic palm
#

No utility, I played with it for a week and didn't like them, so I removed them.

north leaf
#

Fair enough, gunna test em each out on dummies, see which I like more

hoary crown
#

How should a opener with 2 targets look with subterfuge and shrouded suff look?

bold trail
#

Garrote both

civic palm
#

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

north leaf
#

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

lone junco
#

@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. 😦

hoary crown
#

Thank you so much guys 😃

high charm
#

@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

spice surge
#

Grong, jadefire and rastakhan are the fights where ss would be good

strange python
#

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.

lone junco
#

@strange python holy shit probably not.

#

its not like DH 5min meta. Vendetta syncs with vanish. thats the imortant part.

strange python
#

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?

lone junco
#

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?

marble hemlock
#

3

lone junco
#

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

marble hemlock
#

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

lone junco
#

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

marble hemlock
#

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

lone junco
#

I like the idea behind the env hammer fed by fok crit

marble hemlock
#

yep

lone junco
#

the g g g vanish g g g pulls. only take me so far.

marble hemlock
#

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

spring iron
#

Is it not a good idea to set up a fok for at least 4 combo points before rupturing??

honest needle
#

on conclave do u guys garrote and rupture both ads

#

i mean both bosses

spring iron
#

I don’t

honest needle
#

even when not using ss

civic palm
#

No

lethal heart
#

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

civic palm
#

Not even sure the AGI is worth it at that point, considering how important blasting those bosses can be depending on your raid.

lethal heart
#

no idea but thats the only scenario where it might be actually st upgrade

#

but even if, it's gonna be minute

lone junco
#

@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.

cunning urchin
#

Anyone know what traits to look for in 2v2?

quick ice
grave elk
#

What gem do I take for opulence?

dark crag
#

Opal or emerald

tough whale
#

opal > emerald

#

If youre not forced on ruby

dark crag
#

Emerald > opal on farm

spice surge
#

If you get 2 or less waves of adds

tough whale
#

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

spice surge
#

Then emerald is better

#

In hc especially

tough whale
#

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

dark crag
#

Asking which gem to take is a sign of not doing mythic

spice surge
#

Wel yeah, but thats only losing you like 10ish stacks

#

Assuming you shadowstep back

tough whale
#

Still losing stacks, and people ask shit about mythic here all the time

#

it's only the 4th boss

grave elk
#

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

tough whale
#

Opal for sure

grave elk
#

That’s dmging multiple enemy buffs you?

#

Or something like that

tough whale
#

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

grave elk
#

Ok got it

steep obsidian
#

i am ruby bitch because I don't cry hard enough to pad

I always do ruby:)

grave elk
#

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

civic palm
#

Learn them, or use a different nameplate addon that does that.

grave elk

thank you

"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".

#

but regardless if youre ruby bitch, you are doing something wrong

o _o

royal lantern
#

i was the ruby bitch

#

:C

lone junco
#

maybe because they knew you wouldnt die

#

grats for being stable and dependable

royal lantern
#

but muh logs

#

i need those logs nobody will ever look at too be good!

civic palm
#

Yeah I am not giving some idiot that dies a lot the Ruby that's worth too much.

royal lantern
#

dont give it a dh/warrior then

#

those guys always die first

warm geode
#

@royal lantern i would be more insterested in someone who always gets ruby then someone who try to top logs with opal

#

just saying

lone junco
#

top logs from opal is killing the 3rd wave probably

warm geode
#

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

lone junco
#

idk, but it is really good for hpal. but hes not my alch.

warm geode
lone junco
#

thats not bad. and pretty easy to get

warm geode
#

yeah

true nest
#

Doing ruby as sin just sucks

warm geode
#

why?, i mean, u dont change ur gameplay

#

opal , ruby, same thing, just numbers

true nest
#

If you don't change your gameplay you can't keep it up

#

Solo that is

ruby oxide
#

Literally the only change is using poisoned knife if you have to range the boss for 5 seconds

warm geode
#

could u tell me , how u change ur gameplay based on gem?

true nest
#

Sin isn't good at stacking it

ruby oxide
#

1 person per side gets the ruby. Do the job.

true nest
#

2.5 debuff time

ruby oxide
#

for mythic then?

true nest
#

Yes

ruby oxide
#

Ah, I was stuck on heroic. 5s

true nest
#

Heroic doesn't matter

rustic ether
#

sin shouldnt be doing ruby job ever

true nest
#

But as sin on mythic you can get it to drop off very easily

rustic ether
#

sin pumps single target and should be using opal/ruby

#

opal/emerald***

warm geode
#

@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

true nest
#

It does on mythic

civic palm
#

SIN is also one of the faster attackers and won't let Ruby drop.

true nest
#

You have to use 3 combo finishers at time

#

Just to keep it up

#

It doesn't proc off autos

warm geode
#

@rustic ether outlaw can do a good job as ruby carry

true nest
#

Only abilities

#

So it is best on high apm

mossy adder
#

I mean a lot of guilds have 2 ppleach sude on ruby

true nest
#

While sin has one of the lowest apm

warm geode
#

my guild use 5 rubys just for safe, just need ruby to kill the boss

nimble tartan
#

It's fine on sin

#

Not really a big deal

royal lantern
#

eh, it is better on other melee classes

true nest
#

It's better on outlaw/fury/monk/dh

#

Way better

nimble tartan
#

If rather have dh on opal

royal lantern
#

sin has a slow APM, wich is not that good for the ruby

nimble tartan
#

To pump adds

royal lantern
#

but tbh, the difference is not too big too make a huge difference

nimble tartan
#

That's the way I set up my melee comp

#

Since I'm trash at adds

mossy adder
#

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

nimble tartan
#

Just let them pop off

#

And I'm ruby boy

true nest
#

Ya I have ruby also

mossy adder
#

Same as assa

true nest
#

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

nimble tartan
#

Its never been an issue for me I just play normally

true nest
#

I am guessing you never been by yourself haha

mossy adder
#

Ye i never pay attention to it and it always stays up

nimble tartan
#

Ye never

#

3-4 ruby

true nest
#

One of our last pulls has 3 people with ruby on one side

nimble tartan
#

But ye if I was alone itll be slow

true nest
#

And I was the only one on right lol

nimble tartan
#

But fights right in with our playstyle

civic palm
#

O _O

hollow matrix
#

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

lone junco
#

if you are assigned red and dont get red, there are only a few times thats gonna work out

lone junco
#

if you are the raid leader, and cant bench yourself. yay

hollow matrix
#

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 😄

civic palm
#

and make sure someone has Ruby that won't drop because that's more DMG than Opal.

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?

supple hearth

What do you mean pair

haughty mulch
#

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.

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

hollow matrix
#

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

you can survive it with the talent?

oblique herald
#

Hi, im wondering. is 2x Treacherous covenants better than 2x Nothing personal?

#

Can you sim that?

steep obsidian
#

do you have the pieces?

#

very easy to sim on raidbots.com if you do just by the top gear option

oblique herald
#

Its the same piece with the convenant and NP

#

Can you switch the traits inside of raidbots?

spice surge
#

Yes

steep obsidian
#

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

oblique herald
#

Thank you very much, is it top gear och Gear compare?

steep obsidian
#

top gear wil do what you want

#

just click on he bits and traits you want to

shy axle
#

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?

quick ice
#

I like MA

lethal heart
#

depends on what azerite you have at your disposal

#

but MA is fine choice

bleak spoke
#

it's less of hoping for juicy crits and being annoyed if it somehow doesn't crit

quick ice
#

when I get 4 CP in my mid-opener vanish-TB-mut-ENV

#

angery happens

sharp token
#

shouldnt you vanish after TB?

quick ice
#

more likely to waste CP then

#

2 mut can be as many as 8CP

sharp token
#

yeah, I go tb-vanish-mut-env-mut

quick ice
#

see I too regularly only got 3CP from that 1st mut

dark crag
#

Tb vanish env mut env or vanish tb env mut

vast forum
#

The difference is almost negligible

#

And tb/env/mut is way more consistent

quick ice
#

so the opener would be garr-mut-rup-mut then vanish-env-mut the way you describe it @vast forum?

dark crag
#

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

bleak spoke
#

Still feels like 1st variation is better

#

Isn’t 3DD mutis better than Tb

spice surge
#

If envenom is up, yes

bleak spoke
#

Yeh so even if you get rekt on the muti after env and have to muti again it’d be more

Alright ty

#

Is it worth buying a random 415 azerite gear on assasination and in that case what piece ?

steep obsidian
#

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

for an ass roguelike me that plays with mastery haste

What do you think? Outlaw or Assas for mythic opulence?

Depends

Do.u have problems killing adds?

#

no but i play with haste mastery

#

not crit haste

#

so i was thinking

#

maybe i should follow same tact to my ench weapons

sharp token
#

@strange python sim it

steep obsidian
#

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

feral basin
#

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

lusty saddle
#

@heavy skiff have only come to add phase once so really dont know

steep obsidian
#

what gem are you taking?

lusty saddle
#

opal

royal lantern
#

the gem your raidleader tells you too take

lusty saddle
#

i am taking opal

glacial shuttle
#

Wouldn't opal be a good choice if only due to FoK?

strange python
#

adds DPS shouldnt be an issue, so take your best ST spec.

glacial shuttle
#

Er

#

Ruby*

lusty saddle
#

well dont i need to FOK just once and i will have full stack?

strange python
#

No, you get full stacks on second wave of ads

#

crimson condor
#

take my chances buying a random 415 chest or wait another 400 titan resid for bis?

lusty saddle
#

@strange python well you know what i mean

crimson condor
#

4000 titan

glacial shuttle
#

I thought Ruby increased damage on the adds for every instant of damage you dealt to them?

rose perch
#

it can't stack more than once per second

lusty saddle
#

thats the opal

glacial shuttle
#

Yeah so FoK every GCD or two, would give you stacks no?

strange python
#

Ruby stacks once per second.

rose perch
#

yeah ruby stacks once per second, opal only stacks once per target

glacial shuttle
#

Wait hold on

steep obsidian
#

ruby buffs everyones damage to the adds

strange python
#

Opal self buff, Ruby raid buff.

steep obsidian
#

yus

glacial shuttle
#

Does Ruby place a debuff on the target you hit?

strange python
#

Yes¨

#

That stacks once per second

glacial shuttle
#

But only when you hit the target, right?

strange python
#

Use an ability on the target, yes.

#

Autos dont stack it

glacial shuttle
#

Right, so FoK would be the best choice right?

strange python
#

Yepp

steep obsidian
#

its pretty easy to get 4 or 5 stacks+ on the adds and with crit buff and opal they should melt from other classes

strange python
#

Mut each add would suck balls :p

glacial shuttle
#

Lol

steep obsidian
#

I'd personally let others burst em down but I never set up my outlaw spec properly

glacial shuttle
#

Yeah I just wanted to confirm I had understood the ruby gem because people were confusing me.

steep obsidian
#

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

strange python
#

we had 4 Ruby's, just to be safe its up 100% of the time

steep obsidian
#

yeah

crimson condor
#

for m+, 0xEB and 2xDD or 1x EB and 1x DD?

glacial shuttle
#

How high can it stack?

steep obsidian
#

im not sure if there is a cap

#

ive seen over 120

#

with tha tmany stacks boss just falls over

glacial shuttle
#

Is the debuff applied to each target individually?

#

Or is it, say

strange python
#

yes

steep obsidian
#

you can hit them all with fok

glacial shuttle
#

You hit 6 targets, raid gets 6% damage on all adds

steep obsidian
#

at the start anyway

strange python
#

You hit 6 targets, each target get 1 stack

glacial shuttle
#

K good.

#

Trying to figure out how someone has seen 120 stacks xD

#

The adds must have been up forever

#

Or everybody took ruby

strange python
#

Probably not on adds no, but on boss 😃

on the boss i meant of course

#

durr

strange python
#

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 😄

glacial shuttle
#

Oh. :|

steep obsidian
#

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

strange python
#

Second time in p2 boss died for us.

lone junco
#

@crimson condor sim with dungeon slice. But dd is not good for m+. Most use a combination of SS. Eb. twist.

glacial shuttle
#

I've only wiped to that phase once and it was when my guild decided to yolo normal wail of greed without an amethyst 😂

lone junco
#

Opal is capped at 20x

strange python
#

talking about Ruby Noobe

lone junco
#

👌

tiny arrow
#

Think ruby cap i s 150

#

Pretty sure my guild capped on 150 atleast when over half the raid died on normal

steep obsidian
#

lol thats good to know

steep obsidian
#

might as well quit for tier can't really get much better gear

#

pray for weapons so you can 😛

cold meteor
#

ye better weap, and maybe rings

steep obsidian

socket ring might be hard to replace

pulsing veins 410 give equal dps sim

flat jackal
#

Toxic blade or Exsanguinate for m+ this week?

steep obsidian
#

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?

chilly tartan
#

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

dapper moat
#

2x NP traits better than 1x NP and 1x coven? general thinking? Cant sim because stupid azerite swap cost..

steep obsidian
#

yeah heroic doesnt do the knocback

#

ill find out before i get there 😛

split ferry
#

What should my baseline stats be looking like?

cold meteor
#

@dapper moat For me, sim tell me 1x TC + 1x NP is better

dapper moat
#

k

#

would be nice if u coulkd change azerite talents with sims

cold meteor
#

you can with Top Gear

dapper moat
#

aah

#

tons of thanks m8 😃

#

did not know that

strange python
#

"Cant sim because stupid azerite swap cost.." wait what?

elder gulch
#

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

dapper moat
#

@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 😄

strange python
#

uh oh, that hurts 😭

steep obsidian
#

yeah the gold cost is stupid I refuse to waste so much

dapper moat
#

yeah i try to push higher keys same time as we try to progress raid with the guild..

steep obsidian
#

but it kinda sucks if you want to min max for raid and dungeons

dapper moat
#

and been very unlucky with second set..

#

yeah i think i stop for now..

steep obsidian
#

but most of the time a pure single target build can do reasonably ok depending on key

dapper moat
#

thats why i use 1x ss in raids too instead of MA

steep obsidian
#

just gotta not tlook at overall and carry bosses 😛

dapper moat
#

3xdd 1xss with subterfuge atm

steep obsidian
#

that would suck a little bit for dungeoning 😦

dapper moat
#

yeah i was thinking to go 3xss on raid

#

but dunno

#

dd is so good to have there

steep obsidian
#

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

dapper moat
#

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

fading wigeon
#

@elder gulch yeah 20percent haste is good. I run with 20% haste 30% mastery

elder gulch
#

thanks 😃

inner pecan
#

@steep obsidian you can cloak and immune the damage, you'll still get knockbacked but you can instantly step back to boss

steep obsidian
#

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

mystic anchor
#

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)

steep obsidian
#

maybe a question for outlaw peeps unless one of the dudes who pushes really high keys can answer

#

outlaw is obv superior for cleave

lost sentinel
#

3eb makes sin cleave really well

steep obsidian
#

true but outlaw is still more consistent

mystic anchor
#

and for azerite... i see herodamage vs bloodmallet dont suggest the same azerite

steep obsidian
#

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

mystic anchor
#

on herodamage they suggest to stack shrouded suffocation vs echoing blade for bloodmallet

lusty saddle
#

can you vanish coinshower on opulence?

peak musk
#

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

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?

#

What do you do if you need to refresh rupture while Toxic blade is off cooldown or on the target ?

steel kraken
#

Prioritize rupture imo

hoary crown
#

And how much energy should you pool before entering TB window :S?

steel kraken
#

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

hoary crown
#

Ah okey thx for the tips mate ! 😃

steel kraken
#

No worries! 😃

hoary crown
#

Is it crucial to have 1 shrouded suff trait ? :S

golden relic
#

Does nothing personal scale off haste when vendetta is used or does it change depending on haste % whenever during the vendetta

spice surge
#

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?

autumn trench
#

tfw you're wearing maledict instead of harlans

loud niche
#

or is it still the same? surely not ya?

wild mural
#

It’s not the same you can check ravenholdt for the opener or you can sim yourself check the sample opener

true ingot
#

TFW your guild insists on pulling when your mekka trinket has cycled down.

pseudo finch
#

Is it possible to evasion the coin shower on oppulence mythic

#

apprently i got told they can -.-

timid cradle
#

which gem do we take on opulence?

stable pine
#

Opal unless you’re in ruby

dusky moon
#

opal, fok adds

lone junco
#

@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.

dusky moon
#

@loud niche with subterfuge your main damage is garrote

#

so both the opener and stuff you do around vanish is different

#

comparing to MA

spice surge
#

@pseudo finch Rogues cannot survive coinshower on mythic without externals

rigid mango
#

When doing champs fight, do you just focus the main boss or do you try to fok/multi dot?

#

When stacking them up, ofc

hoary crown
#

Thank you @lone junco and @spice surge

finite acorn
#

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

vast forum
#

Np was fixed in the sims to scale with haste

desert vault
#

when you shround in Underrot is there a mob you have to sap while you are walking down the ramp?

ruby oxide
#

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

desert vault
#

Where can you shroud in Underrot then?

ruby oxide
#

If you clear the ramp, you can shroud the mask pull

finite acorn
#

thanks @vast forum

ruby oxide
#

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

fair blaze
#

A lot of groups i’ve seen are also shrouding the skeleton pack after 2nd boss

ruby oxide
#

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

fair blaze
#

Yeah, but with fortified these skeletons can hit tank really hard

ruby oxide
#

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

fair blaze
#

+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

lone junco
#

@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

strange python
#

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

rigid mango
#

I use a skystep potion

#

Just to get there really fast

fair blaze
#

@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

fair tusk
#

!haste cap

#

someone can told me the stat cap ? crit and haste please

rigid mango
#

There's no cap?

#

afaik

amber arrow
#

Crit cap is 100%

ruby oxide
#

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

fair tusk
#

tanks

#

thanks

ruby oxide
#

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.

fair tusk
#

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

ruby oxide
#

Mastery is valued higher than haste in multi-target situations

#

So, he probably performed better on trash than on bosses

fair tusk
#

but not that bad !

Can you stop posting your sim, you make us feel uncomfortable

languid ore
#

😂 he's just brushing his epeen on us now

cold meteor
#

besad 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

dark crag
#

Or your mastery is low

cold meteor
#

yes it is

dark crag
#

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 👌

rigid yacht
#

@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)?

hushed maple
#

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?

vast forum
#

No, u always hit with both weps

fair blaze
#

@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

vast forum
#

Each of the 2 hits of mutilate have a chance to apply deadly poison, dd procs when both do

fair blaze
#

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

vast forum

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

civic palm
#

Make sure you don't have crazy Spell Queue Window applied through an add on or something.

Do you just have bad lag?

hushed maple

I dont know. It doesnt really feel laggy
