@strange python need log my dude
I'm not even registered on any log website
Sounds like fake burst then
...
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jW7JuthP3y4Ebc8WLSN9ba @crude bay ๐คท
500 is so much, it definetly doesnt feel that much worse
anyway, just passed by to say good night
ah yeah forgot to swap
i got 2x pieces with DD+SS tho
So its not DD vs SS in my case, and it wont be for many
In which situation, Subt will be better, even for ST
And any spec that perform a tiny bit worse pure ST, but get a lot more value multitarget, is always something i would go for
Double gambling yeah
i got 0 raid pieces
We are discussing traits tho, not how to get them
yeah but most people dont have 2-3 415 pieces per slot to choose from
so usually you just wear what dropped/you gambled
But we are talking in terms of end game raiding
id much rather prefer to have 1 ss perma on my gear
and then you usually do
but dont have that option, or well losing 600 dps st seems alot atleast
dont mind me, just casually sustaining 92k dps over 118 seconds in the double skele pack in UR 18 @lone junco
seli 100k in 30 secs aint got shit on dis
m+ 18+?
thats the pack right after 2nd boss?
double skeles into reaping
for me they dont last that long ever
But yeah, i dont see people preaching how good twist the knife is, even though twist and SS are about the same value on ST
@primal gazelle 3xEB?
I like twist
tbf a bunch of people do really like ttk
was sustaining 110k up until the last 2 mobs, and dropped down to 92k rip
yea 3 eb
is sickkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I just don't evangelize for my azerite .
what was your overall?
Yeah twist is what a lot of people (me included) like for m+
ppl just don't really like change i think is the issue
@primal gazelle do you evisc or just spam FOK?
in an ideal world 3 SS + exsang would sim best for me cuz that's what i like playing the most but
it doesn't lmao
Sin can def be viable, but the only reason you run sin over outlaw in m+ right now, is never damage, it would only be if you need the slow
did 39k overall in a 19 UR last night
that's not true
It is though
the reason you run sin over outlaw is that when you hit the point you run out of blade flurries sin still continues to pump
can outlaw sustain 92k for 2 mins ๐ค
Yes
probably for 2 mins
No, cause pack will already be dead cause you pumped 200k for 1 min
๐
aka time saveds
if you already have aoe pump classes sin will save more time with prio targetting
and you are running triple EB; you lose a lot of ST value from that, outlaw can pump aoe dmg while not losing out on st dmg
this argument's been hashed out like a million fkn times in here tho
Just look at this season
love it tho
i play both in dungeons, have fun playing both and think both are good zzz
outlaw vs sin keep them coming
I doubt we will see sin rogues in mdi
how many big boys you see running assa in huge dungeons?
seliathan
Ok, one
and tht should be enough
technically its the same 5 people thats "big boy"
now look at the rest
yeh
adnd you see their names 5 times each on each dungeon
That morningwind dude always plays assa aswell
And thats because seli is fanboy to assa, if seli did as good as outlaw as he did as sin
hed do more dmg
it's dad and ashine and seli and morning and flawless and muscle etc etc
flawless plays assa too
ashine does as well soemtimes
dad and ashine go outlaw now
Outlaw is just a lot easier to play without the perfect gear setu
Assa scales with gear and requires good azerite, whereas outlaw can just blast with whatever
mdi will prob be mostly outlaws tbh
just because some people perform with assa, doesnt make it the best
yeh that's the issue i have with sin, the azerite is pretty hard to acquire
MDI will be double outlaw for lots of dungeons
they say sub's gonna make a comeback
Outlaw scaling is ๐ฉ
im fine with it
Gonna see double rogue for many comps in mdi
i wish i had the money to reforge my gear constantly ;-;
easier for my name to be on top of wcl allstars since all the good rogues went outlaw 
outlaw just gonna get nerfed like monk was
yeh seli and sebek playing together as double rogue, gonna be lit 8D
@primal gazelle ngl thats pretty good. Do you find that you can EB like that with a DH? meaning are you guys fighting for the same trash?
i hope jay doesn't play that boring ass zul pad mage build
the one with freezing/thermal
in higher keys on fortified yeah
_>
after their 1st eyebeam, their dps just goes down
Triple melee is prob the play for mdi teams
triple melee is only unviable where like motherlode and siege?
though with outlaw attack range it probably works in ml
i think chain pulling will be a big factor to bringing outlaw > sin in mdi
yeh being able to chain pull really really helps
If you're only running 1 SS then chain pulling doesnt really matter that much as assa
the last boss is a pain
i did +20 ML triple melee in infested weeks
With the 1ss, 3ttk and 2eb
Then its obv viable with reaping
mdi is just gonna be like 15 keys again lul
Prob like 17-19s
oh right i probably only think that cuz i play with a mistweaver
literally all melee >_>
The keys need to be possible, not that kinda competition.
i thought mdi was always 13-14 keys
Hopefully i get to compete aswell
well they all had 370 ilvl gear last time
It's about speed and nothing else, doesn't matter what chest they get so long the majority of people are clearing.
Have no team atm tho
i don't want them to be doing keys i can do easily with some random guildies ๐
you cant easily do them at the level they do tho
true
which is the entertainment value in it
a spread of keystone levels would be nice tho
bring back tyrannical dht memes
yikes
people wiping on last boss was fun times
spicy boss
I mean dungeons in legion didnt get patched
until mdi quals
remember shade spell reflects
or the 100 bugs and overtuned as fuck bosses in cathedral
they just didnt care
you guys always getting opal for m opulence?
Ultimately what matters is the raid dps, and if you being alive and keeping the debuff up (so its like 100% damage for everyone) that is gonna be way more benefitial than you having 40% more damage
Yeah you're better off to make sure the Ruby never drops than risk it and be Opal.
But yeah, if you have others that take ruby that you know wont drop it, you take opal
well
you what what 3 people with it everytime atleast?
and they kinda have to be melee
so it more depends on your raid comp than anything tbh
We ran 5 because we had a lot of trials last night.
yeah I mean we do 4 aswell, can see dropping down to 3
5 sounds overkill but its better than dropping the stacks i guess
and my guild doesnt have that many melee, so I dont see how I wont have ruby
The ideal (for a speedkill scenario) would be 2, but thats relying on not getting screwed by swaps
Hunter that play BM are the best ruby carriers
They had issues last week where a 100stack fell off because only 4. Idk, wasn't there.
Since they are ranged but attack as fast as melee
you prolbaby want 4 just in case it goes to shit and some ruby people die, its impossible for someone to keep ruby up and run the gold out
at least the first set of golds anyway
Speaking of a lot of melees, fuck the fires on rastakhan
Playing with anything more than 2-3 melees makes it so awful, you just have to run out soo much
huh?
I swear melee don't get it on heroic
yes
Yes on mythic the fires can hit melee
!opulence
yes i dont need ruby, we have others. ty @spice surge
m+ dungeon slice on raidbots telling me to get some haste :S
I got the chargestone of the thunderking from the tort emissary cache... Is it as terrible as it sounds?
Overplayed classes in MDI will always get nerfed, like ww monk in legion and sub rogues at the last one
Sin stay under the radar while outlaw get hit with the bat ๐ค
. . .
i mean if we're pretending sub rogues were ok in what they did last time then ya sure
i don't think doing more than double the damage of everyone else in the same situation was "ok" tho
^^
invocation yu'lon bad?
on mythic mekka when your huge can you shadowstep to someone or boss and not kill anyone?
@rugged jetty yeah you can shadowstep. Ive done it and no one died
worse case they get stunned for like 1s
best of luck 2 u
@ember forum oh no, you fell for the wildcard mass recruiting
lol
if im running SS and sub. is Garrote mutilate rupture garrote vendetta tb envenom a good opener? just had sum1 suggest it for me. but ive been doing the guides opener of Garrote rup Garrote etc.
@grave elk
@grave elk you only get 3 GCDs inside subterfuge so you have to have garrote be in those first three globals twice no matter what
otherwise you overwrite it with a basic garrote and you lose a fuckload of dmg
thats what i thought. he was tellin me about it being super strong. and i was like umm isnt that bad
Is the Person that told you this opener maybe musclebrah ? ๐ค
Nah MB is on that normal shit, he ain't fuckin up SUB AFAIK O _O
unlessHeIsTryingToSabotageYOU O _O
for m+ my opener on mobs. do u guys 3 x garrote diff targets then pop CT or use a rupture
yaaaaaaas, CT into Ruptures.
I legit have a guy telling me by opening with garrote rupt garrote is losing me dps cuz im refreshing an enhanced garrote
He can be as wrong as he'd like but that's perfectly fine on ST.
So long the Empowerment from Subterfuge remains at the second Garrote you are not losing anything.
gotcha
Unless there is a new bug that is causing some unexpected interactions, but I doubt that very much.
@grave elk g r g is ST. G tab G tab G ct is M+ trash open.
assuming subterfuge with +1 ss.
and yeah. the grg is really good at pushing garrote to 24 sec. and also feeding a lot of cheap cps on the open.
@grave elk hearing that would make me go into an uncontrollable rage tbh
a lot of people say dumb things.
or just what they know works well.
I saw a person specced into cannoball barrage
Not that it's dumb, just that they do not know any better.
UNLESS... they're just being an idiot.
I KNOW WHAT THE GUIDE SAYS... but this works better for ME
we were clowning a guy that opened stealth with MUT. instead of garrote. cause he knew better. Turned out he was getting NSDP applictions ayo.
That kinda thing.
Yeah that era also brought some people into BFA wondering about MUT openers as well.
was a cool log. guy didnt need to sim to know how to play
Without understanding why people were mistakenly doing it.
speaking of cannonball barrage, how is that not a trait for outlaw? that would be such a cool aoe trait if like popping AR would also proc a cannon barrage
rip
If you had small enough ping you can knife ~> step and still get the NS bonus.
But it's sketchy as fuck.
incoming CBB talent + BLADED CANNONBALL trait
CBB should have always been good, and just reset CD based on targets hit. like DH beam orange.
Yep.
like how the fuck did they drop the ball for a pirate spec during a fucking naval pirate expansion
I am actually not sure why they removed CBB other than pulling out of the "pirate" focus.
LUL
They could easily tune it to compete.
Apply a multi-target damage cap so it doesn't go crazy like we have for Echoing Blades.
etc.
Fuckin...
My stat weights are saying master 2.8, haste 2.6. not feeling like socketing mastery. thoughts?
have CBB apply a debuff that increases physical damage taken > _>
@visual quartz Sounds right.
they could honestly just remove paradise lost and everytime you reroll with only one buff it summons a giant cannonball/CBB splitting between all enemies
anyways BACK TO SIN
Mastery and Haste are very good if you have 1xNothing Personal.
@visual quartz people have been noticing that haste loses out to secondaries once you hit around 20%ish haste
and unless you are doing M+ Critical Strike Chance loses value @ ~23% for ST.
and yeah Haste @ ~20%
thoughts on marked for conclave?
ya but marked to cheese combo points on raptors
Not enough targets imo, though if you can use it every minute that's good.
I don't remember the timer for raptors.
If it lines up that's the best if can be, but if the raptors aren't near you you're only using MFD a few times over the course of the fight and that doesn't seem as good as Vigor over the entire fight.
Raptors are every minute.
Technically over a minute as you need them to come to you, so if you have strong ranged MFD becomes much worse.
Yes. I wouldn't run it.
It's not quite like Vectis where you are basically delivered a second target to your feet.
Talic elevator also made MFD decent there.
Taloc*
I actually ran internal bleeding as a test last week, because I figured it would do more than prey.
I usually go straight for back raptors because pallystun on close, and they die instantly.
Yeah.
So I get more from IB than the raid would from prey.
I do wanna say that 10%DMG is better than a bleed you don't get most of the duration out of.
mfd is a 30s on sin so i figured it wouldn't be awful
That all depends one how long they live of course.
and ya prey is probably better since you might not always get the full ticks of internal
?
O _O
idk, it def 30
oh the aura changes is
lmao
i know it's 60s for outlaw because relentless lowers it
Yeah, for SIN and SUB it is 30 seconds.
always refresh CT at 2 seconds remaining on bleed?
i think my aoe rotation just feels bad cuz i only have 1 EB lol
ya i'm getting huge value out of mfd on conclave rn
EB won't influence rotation unless you are trying to say that your damage is low. @grave elk
well cuz idk if at 3 targets fok is actually worth? and also i dont know how priority works when 3 targets compared to 4 or more
so 3 or more i can fok. ?
I think it's 2 or more if you are nearing 25% crit, probably less. Though that does feel kinda butt.
gotcha yeah im sitting on 22% crit and like 16% haste. i had 19% haste and it felt good. then i got gear upgrades and dropped me like 3% haste lol
This was WITHOUT Echoing Blades.
oh dang so 3 targets after applying poisons always mutilate
WITHOUT Echoing Blades O _O
god damnit lol. so IMA just spam fok always
DDx2 probably pushes FoK spam to 3+ targets.
EBx3 probably pushes FoK spam to 2+ targets.
yeah i only have 1 DD and 1 EB so im guessing ill just spam on 3
If you somehow have DDx3 and EBx3, I do not know what word you are living in.
Yeah that's probably fine.
2 is probably fine as well
yeah i just feel super energy starved it seems in aoe situations. so i try to get rupture on 3 targets
Your goal should be getting your energy regen to 35/second so you can FoK spam.
how the hell do i know if im getting 35 a sec?
3 dd 3 eb sounds liek hell
You can use a WA, can use an addon like DejaCharacterStats, can press FoK and see where your NRG is in 1 GCD.
what is NRG?
energy* fuckinkids
also it's about 3-4 ruptures
i have deja but id have to have the character sheet open right?
so my base regen atm is 12.7 so atleast i know where i can see it
Yeah if you wanna, the update is kinda weird the last I checked though, like it's not constant, so you have to close and open it again.
i use miz's multi rupture tracker for it actually
That works as well.
can u link

soon as it's at 4, just fok spams
can find it in that
alright so multi target rupt is the one id want
Tomorrow I might see if I can get a #/sec for energy in there as well.
Maybe.
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
hey, kind of a whack question, but I see a lot of high-level sin rogues in m+ using double echo, triple shrouded and a scent, flawless for example. using that, how would you choose between rupture/crimson, and straight fan of knives spam
Well you can't spam FoK if you don't have the energy to do so, and with 1Scent you're probably spamming the shit out of Rupture, to ~6.
Shrouded is for the strong opener as normal.
Also pretty decent ST.
so the strat would be triple garrote into a CT, maintain the CT dot and get a ton of ruptures out, then go ham on the fan
Yeah, but with only 1 scent the value isn't that much, and since they have 2xEB you're gonna wanna spam FoK earlier than you are going to be putting up Ruptures.
There's also the problem of putting up too many ruptures and not being able to keep them up without a LOT of CP, but since that doesn't run at Twist the Knife it should not be that bad.
yeah, I'm running triple shrouded/triple echoes right now, but my helm is 370
but I could run double echoes and a scent with a 400 helm, which is probably worth
30 item levels is a lot > _>"
Then quit yer bitchin ๐

So yesterday on champions my grp decided to just sit on the boss full time. I reviewed my logs and noticed that my garrote and rupture had 95% uptime. I never once let them fall off. I raid from EU on US servers and my MS is usually around 150. Im curious if my timers are a skewed because of this latency? Also, if theyโre whats how do I gauge when to refresh my bleeds in order to prevent them falling off?
Is anyone else finding their getting small GCD interruptions when having a few dots up? Iโve been on the target dummies for about an hour now and it seems after many dots applied my fan of knives and dot application seems to get chocked sometimes, missing a half global here and there, the same feeling of playing with lag and not pressing the next ability in time but I have no lag whatsoever
Reminder that CotL is a hard pad fight that can be mega cheesed, but that doesnt give you greens.
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
Wat, I parsed orange doing nothing but ST on cotl >_>
You donโt need to pad at all
well, to get the 100s you do but not here for that
Well yeah probably
Did you get robbed by cheesers xd
Yea now im #16
to be fair I ran killing spree on the fight and we stacked adds on top of boss, anyways wrong channel
@west cove you didnt vanish.
I killed everyone's parse on cotl this week. Somehow cast evasion instead of shroud and prepulled.
your garrote/rupture uptime could be improved.
since you waited 15 seconds on your 2nd toxic blade, you missed a cast
Better to have to rupture or garrote in your Tb than to lose a cast
Obviously itโs not an ideal situation but thatโs the case
its the equivalent of a 3-4 CP envenom with a lower energy cost that generates a combo point
Or two 8D
thanks @raven mica this is really helpful!!
do i just blindly follow my sims recommendations or do i tweak them to myself?
Anyone have insight on my questions posted a bit earlier in regards to MS?
Considering how easy that fight is, its so easy to get a perfect rotation on it
or hit adds
or do a lot of things
Iโd say that you can get a blue/purple parse just doing the basics tbh, bleed uptime, Tb casts, vendettas
well in that fight he only had time for one vendetta
I mean in general tho
I should play sin again, still waiting on a decent chest before I do.
nah fuck that shit ill wait until im on mekkatwerk
Mekkatwerk
when does EB start losing value? i see is managed about 60% uptime on avergae
EB loses value when you have a prio target
sorry *EP
mekka sims better than spymaster, might be another one
At 413 equipped mp still sims like 750 behind with high mastery
so even avg 60% uptime is still better then the MP ?
or maybe I was simming mekka at 420 ilvl, anyways theyre super close
Canโt say for certain, thatโs the sort of thing you have to play at a training dummy a few times
Just set a timer for 5 minutes and do your best rotation once or twice with either talent
And youโll see if itโs worth for you
EP will almost always play better if you follow the rules or whatever
and high movement fights like conc?
Conclave is an st patchwork pretending to be like 8 other things
Your uptime on the primary target should be close to full
The only time you get off is to kidney or rupture random raptors
And with sprint you outpace your tanks movement when itโs being dragged into paku zone
So you can spend the whole time hitting
Like I doubt mp will make you go up on the meters but if it does itโs trash damage that will be healed up anyway
thanx valuable feedback, in m+ do you even bother with fan traits and crimson tempest and the rupture trait?
Or overkill from other classes slamming raptors
EB is incredible in m+
CT and scent of blood had their day but most ppl donโt anymore
SS/EB are 100% the best M+ traits
Well the SS is debatable
regardless of ST ?
But until you reach pretty high keys itโs not worth discussing
If you play 3 SS exsang on the 1.5-3 min dungeon fights youโll slam on ST
hmmmm some really nice advise here really appreciate it guys.
Hey everyone, anybody who's good at analyzing logs and has the desire to help me?
I literally sat on the boss yesterday during champions and yet manage to only have 94% uptime of garrote and 95%rupture. My MS is 150 due to me playing from EU on NA servers. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/CWLvY3p1HaDwGNBg#fight=6&type=damage-done For reference. If the MS is the reason for my bleeds dropping off, when should I be refreshing or how can I calculate the time based on MS?
150 ms shouldnt affect ur bleeds falling off
just apply them 2 sec before they expire in worst case
Except the empowered garrotes
Refresh in the pandemic window and have like 99% ezclapper
Does mastery affect double dose dmg?
Eh, I guess I'll just write it down if anybody has the time and is willing to help. I literally got no idea why I can't go above 70-80% parses on most bosses. Last night we just did HC reclear. Can somebody check Opulence, Conclave, Rastakan and Blockade encounters. I literally have no idea, as I sit on some mostly. It cannot be only uptime, I must be doing something wrong https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/dDwHAYX1ZQP6mr8f
doubt mastery does anything for dd
@full pagoda without even looking at logs I promise you it's garrote and rupture uptimes
Now let's look and see if I'm right
Oppulence it's 94% which isn't terrible. But needs to be better. You only used two vendettas on a 5+ minute fight
8 toxic blades over a 5:21 fight is a big nono
You had Ruby, so you likely wouldn't have parsed ultra high no matter what unless you had opal
I'm tired as hell. I'll look at the rest in the morning and dm u
@round harbor thanks, have a good night
aya you can look at wowanalyser, there you can get some SUGGESTIONS.
https://wowanalyzer.com/report/dDwHAYX1ZQP6mr8f/11-Heroic+Opulence+-+Kill+(5:21)/52-Ayaza
what do you guys think of this setup for m+ : 2x EB, 2x Twist the Knife, 2x SS ... playing with toxic blade and posion bomb?
@regal pumice I really don't think it's a hood website except for patchwork fights
really? and why do you think it?
@mortal meadow it's not good tbh, ss always sims better with exsanguinate, also PB is pure ST, CT is a must for M+ now
its pretty easy you parse a top Player in to Analyzer and then you parse yours and then you can see were are the differenz
@regal pumice well I don't think it can sim correctly boss fights with intermission
Or rng either
strangely exsanguinate sims worse than toxic blade on st, most likely because of the twist the knife traits
@queen girder thats right but this is a problem for all the Player, so if a Player makes 13/13 TBs and you do 8/13 then you know dam iam bad at this
compare it with other Player and you see whats wrong at your play
Hmm, yeah, the only way it'd be relevant is if the log of the kill is for the same time as our kill
@mortal meadow My bad, forgot twisted knife, still, CT > PB cos of reaping
@mortal meadow thats very good setup for M+
ty for the input, should spec into CT then
Meh
I know PB is nature dmg, combined with twisted knife, it still would do less dmg than CT imo, even on tyrannical weeks CT is better now
That's like... Not true with twist setup
if i spec into CT the twist the knife specs would be useless right?
Hello good people. Can somebody take a look at my mythic grong parse and give me some pointers on what to improve? First time running MA since i finally got the right traits ๐ https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/argent-dawn/mosh?mode=detailed&zone=21#boss=2263&difficulty=5
@regal pumice Do you compare only logs which are the same duration. Like, I think that's the only relevant way wit h wowanalyzer. If the killd are in a few seconds difference
It's better to spam envenoms on big risen souls with a few ruptures up than keep CT up to uselessly pad on the little ones
Let the other classes deal with that
yeah true but with ct i would barely get the time to spam Envenoms in trash groups
So use PB.
@full pagoda please don't spread misinformation
It's very good
A vast majority of top assa rogues use pb
Except a few dungeons
While ct might provide more overall dps, it's also more pad dmg
@vast forum Eh, I'll be honest. I'm sorry. Got the info from high scored rogue but never compared it with others maybe it's outdated now. Why is PB so much better?
I'm on my phone so typing this might take a while, will try to be concise
A trash pull ends when the last mob in the pack dies. If there is a mob with more health than others in the pack, using an envenom on it for (for example) 40k dmg is more valuable than doing a ct for 25k per target, regardless of target count. Pb is also passive damage and any cp you would use on ct could be cast on an envenom or rupture instead
Basically, on the pack of 1 big rat and 5 small ones in fh, ct will provide more dps but envenom spam will kill the pack faster
And killing stuff faster is the whole point of m+
It's an extreme example but it applies to just about any pull in m+
Exactly. People think too much of overall dps and pad when doing shit faster is what counts
Aye
if we have ss we let it fall off before we vanish and reapply right
On st yea
@vast forum thank you
@grizzled jay Never been about pading in M+, I guess I'll just too bad to see the difference. I really thought CT would be better. Thanks both of you. @honest iris You meant garrote at 5.4? Vanish ->garrote? I think I was doing it wrong as well
on multitarget u would refresh at 5.4
st u let it fall before refreshing with vanish
got the 415 shoulders having NP/DD along with Mekkadril 400 breast (NP/DD) and First Boss 415 helmet. Raidbots says it is best to use double NP. I thought i read here never use two, but even bloodmallet says it is good. Is it a big loss to take 2 times NP?
okay thanks man
Iยดm slowly getting geared up and getting better azerite itemisation. I have 2xDD, 1xSS, 1xNP at the moment. Tried replacing my SS-piece with an older DD-piece, but still sub simmed higher for me than MA. At what point does MA overtake Subterfuge?
just my personal experience, but if my best pieces have SS, subt always sims better
MA only came into play when my highest azerites didn't have SS
but I have meticulous scheming and ruinous bolt on my best pieces, so how the f*ck should I know, rofl
meticusouls scheming is actually very good, because it never procs, so I guess I'll just set my shoulder to EB and I don't have to reroll between raiding and m+
@grizzled jay tagging you regarding the NP buff by haste you said. So, do you think 2xNP > 1xNP & 1TC? Any idea? I got all pieces 415 ilvl. Or it'd be just for a higher burst time. Got almost 1.5 haste.
my thoughts, wondering too
from my sims, TC wins at 100% uptime, but goes just behind at 90%, then clearly behind at 80% or lower uptime
depends what you think you're likely to get ๐คท
Tbh i'd go with tc as it has aoe value
may vary dependant on your personal stats
I have been using TC as I just absolutely love the raw stat but now I considered asking.
NP just looks like a burst helper. That's all.
agreed 95+ is reasonable most of the time
And Vendetta has 2 mins cd which would be 3/4 vendettas per fight or so.
On fights with downtime between vendettas (f.e. Mekka), np gains value
Yeah, tbh. Cant wait to get as many azurites as I used to have previous tier. Had specific to half encounters lol. It's gonna take a while though.
I'm just gonna stick to one aoe/m+ set and one for general raiding
I just used 2xSS and archive last tier on every boss :D
Most pieces with ST traits normally have the other ones too, so I'll just be reforging if need be
Well it's what I'm doing as well but as the example Yoppa gave. It's not like yoi can't perform well even with minimal trait difference. Just if you want to be extremely precised. And yes, I won't reforge for specific boss, unless super necessary.
Aye, most of the raid pieces normally have TC/NP/DD, the good ones, and if you REALLY need to change smth, you can just reforge between those
Doesn't feel like there's a good boss for any others really
It's so addictive to stay in specific chat lol. I feel like I wanna read everyone's post. And yes you're right.
hey guys, have a question. for mythic+ i mainly should go for crit/mastery but are that the stats to go for tyrannical weeks too? or should i go more ST stats so haste/crit then?
for the master assassin rotation, why is it not venetta > toxic blade > mutilate > vanish > envenom, but vendetta > vanish > toxic blade > mutilate
@strange python I'm going for haste/crit as it's mostly boss fights. Not sure if Its correct.
@honest iris I checked a couple of top parsing rogues with this rotation and it was like that garrote - muti - rupture - trinket+vendetta -muti -toxic - vanish - envenom - muti -envenom etc
why do people type "multi" ๐ฆ
it`s about that juice
Why is Nothing Personal suddenly our best trait - does it stack now?
energy gain
blizz silently changed it to be hasted
once somone reported it it was changed in simc, what leads to it gaining a lot of value
so, its rly good
Dd is still better past the 1st one
you can mix traits, np has the biggest value for #1 trait
what you use will in the end always come down to what your azerite offers
HD is now showing 3xNP being better than 3xDD. Is this trustworthy?
it shows the combined value of 3 np is higher
this does not mean that one individual is better after the first one
2xDD+1NP
why not, use a sim?
You can see the individual values of each stack
But yea, simming yourself is always best
Yeah I know
Can somebody explain it how does it stacks NP when is 2/3 traits? Does energy regeneration value changes
Hello guys, first message in the discussion. I play Assassination/Outlaw rogue. Atm i'm focused on the first, and with a Sim it said I should stick around 18k with my actual ilvl and pieces. Yesterday I had a little debate with a guildie about how my Garrote dmg seems low. (He said that should be the major dmg resource) but of course i wanna talk about it with people that actually plays a rogue too. So, I know it's kinda of a general question but, which build goes "better" in terms of dmg? Toxic Blade or Hemorrage? I always played with TB and now i'm using traits like Double Dose.
Feel free to @ me so I don't lose your advices ๐
both can be viable, try sims

Garote is #1 if you use the SS trait
Envenom is #1 if you use DD/twisted knife.
If you have multiple ss traits, garrote will be #1
Ok, which makes sense. Is it worth it to keep 1 SS for the 3 Combo Points in opening and rest DD/Twist?
Not really if you have better alternatives
IE dont pick "that one SS" over a DD or a NP trait
but if it`s your best alternative take it, still viable
@zinc igloo What's the best traits you can get atm or currently can have?
Hmm 3xDD and 3xNP is simming higher than typical 3xDD 1xNP 2xTC. Rough sim that I did on my phone https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pwZa1VUUZUwF4UrAymtnMh
interesting
On shoulders I have the SS and Twist, which are the best options
Sec to log in and check
@slim olive You forgot one tier 3 trait with your treacherous profile
NP will probably still be higher, but not by that much
If thats the case then. The TC "Set" has a chance to fall even more if you drop health regularly.
ok yeah its around 200dps difference.
3DD/3NP and 3 DD/1NP/2TC seems to be quite interchangable depending on gear and situation, varieing by very little dps
Ok so, my actual azerite gear is:
Opulence Crown: Twist and SS, chance to take Blood Scent
Warfront Shoulders: SS and Twist again, best options.
Grong's Chest: DD and Blood Scent, chance to take SS on first and Soul Bond on the second.
I build haste and crit when i have the chance, which is not going greatly during this progress.
Atm i play Master Assassin and TB
maybe I could try to go x3 SS, Subterfuge and Exsanguinate?
Which changes up the rotation a lot too i guess
Exsang is rarely worth it
But if you have any SS traits at all equiped, you must play subterfuge
^
SS is complete garbage if you're not using subterfuge
ok that's a good point. A more "nooby" question: Should I always throw Rupture/Envenom at 5 points? Coz sometimes i force it down and seems like I found myself in lack of energy
no, 4+
so in opening with subterfuge is something like Garotte, Muti, Rupture, right?
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
I was watching the guide right now that's why I ask, isn't that going for a 3 Combo Rupture?
Rupture doesnt do less damage if you have fewer cp
Only lasts shorter
So putting up a 3 cp one is better than wasting 1 cp from garrotes
Damn, that changes all, tooltip isn't that clear in my language at this point.
and guess this all works for the stable rotation during the fight too
Which is the part that probably gives me more trouble in medium length
So instead of capping 5 points it's better to go for a 4 even with Envenom?
Another question before i forget: mortal navigation should always be on the main hand as enchant?
envenom only at 4 or 5
It doesnt matter which weapon you have the enchant on, just dont stack it.
so i can run quiclky navigation on main hand too, that's a lot of saved money lol
You dont want to stack it, so depending on your stat weights you choose the top two. For example, if crit haste is simming highest, you put quick navigation on one and deadly on the other.
one last question...at this point is it better stack a triple SS over the DD I have?
2 of 3 pieces have SS already
It honestly depends on your gear and the ilvl of those pieces and obviously the situation, its best to sim which is best on this https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/topgear using the "Simulation craft" Addon
ok, thank you a lot to all, gonna try to improve ๐
With time you'll be the best rogue in the world, keep up the research and practice.
I had missed so much readings, even though I knew, had to read it /stalking mode avtivated 
Hello assa boys
can some1 explain wtf i just did "wrong" in this gear compare
or why is the chest + head 15% lower
it cannot only be becuz of losing a NP + overwhelming power trait
that's weird
Yeah thats wierd
ok, so the head is actually ilvl 15, not 415
the items have raidfinder tag on them, maybe it sims the wrong ilvl...? I donno otherwise
you've dropped a 4
huh
tht doesn't look incorrect
np + dd simming higher than eng + dd
both say 415
it says 415 in the tooltip, but if you open the full report its only i15
might be because of the actual sim taking a different ilvl than the one showing
But i mean it doesnt really matter, when you get the champion helm you have full bis azerite
No point comparing it to worse ones anyway :^)
wait wtf lOL
big meme
but ye
mistakes were made xd
yeah I don't think it lets it show an invalid tooltip for azerite or something
probably worth tossing a report to seri on the raidbots discord
hero spooce
the things we do when we're sitting on the bench during raid ๐
to be fair raid finder + 415 is pretty invalid
yeh
nah it makes sense i'm just being a cunt
also that is really really nice gear holy moly
25.6 
pass some opulence daggers this week aswell pls
that's pretty cool
Can't see it from phone
Fml
Got some upgrades yesterday from 21.6 to 24k, can't imagine what you got for 25k+
I'm at 404 ilvl
got a 2nd cypohide this week
was fishing for a reverant, is that the name, KR one atleast, for M+
ceph is good for m+
doesn't that one have EB TTK
he's got a LOT of sockets @full pagoda
Got insane titanforge from M+ cache, 425 haste pants with gem, previous week got 425 cloak 
Very lucky
that's big big dam
i love the poison funnel playstyle but all my pieces somehow have shrouded on the inner-outer ring so idk
so i just reforge the champions helm to SS TC and play 3 SS exsang now LOL
I got gold-tasseled this week from my random, but have to run DD/tradewinds because I have bad shoulder for raid
better than playing with two SOB omegalul
no way tradewinds is better than SS
just play subt and not ma
I'm pretty sure I checked and it was still better
even for the way the raid fights are shaped?
like
there's so much vanish into multidot
You seriously have that chest and those shoulders? Omg.....
I have 4 sockets and shit azerite. RNG is a bitch
What bosses have much things to vanish multidot? Yeah grong, jadefire and maybe rasta
But mostly its just pure ST for melees
man
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hb1yvzvxzYtRMyuH2owtCZ
straight up better simDPS for MA/tradewinds, and I usually play bench on grong
But tbh one fight I 100% will play ma on is stormwall
i acctually like MA after swapping to it week and a half ago
I just cb fucking a with vanish timings on that fight in HC I think itโll suck worse in m
what do u meanfucking with timings
Like it gets so desynced
Or maybe itโs the speed we do boats thatโs fucked
Idk
Like I end the fight with the strangest cds
u mean like that it never aligns with vendetta properly at 2 min or , im not following
Yeh
btw @@golden relic, I talked to some of the raidbots people
With subt
apparently its because of the way you built your gear compare
summary: don't put multiple of the same slot in the same comparison
it gets VERY confused
and apparently simc and raidbots tooltips handle it differently
so
Oh yeh it does the thing where it says โsame itemโ on the sim text and starts assigning weird numbers
basically make a like 10 set gear compare
To the gear
yikes
yeah
well i doubt the outcome will be any different , but thanks, ill keep that in mind
Or copy the gearstrings and do topgear
that's Champions helm 4421 btw
basically it doesn't compare them when its within the same gearset
top gear is best gear
i kinda wonder what you sim for with master poisoner dog
like i don't like going down this road but
pretty curious
I can run one
cuz mp is some boring ass shit
EB
EB
thanks
damn when the MP starts catching up to EP 
LOL
It wont unless we get something that makes poisons more relevant though
Or they stop scaling up the traits
does DD benefit from MP
thank god
if we got a huge azerite trait that increased poison damage somehow
Maybe they'll add something more cool next tier, I hope it won't be just one more ring and period
some healer in my raid was like to me if i run TC I'm basically asking for it xd
they've said they're adding traits of some kind to the neck itself and that azerite gear won't require levels, in 8.2? IIRC
ye
i didn't play legion but everyone seems to love kingsbane
please yes
Calling it now. Legion leggo effects on Neck incoming.
I would be 100% ok with getting either execute bracers or vendetta CDR boots back
Probably bracers for sin. Would be Nice to have a big execute again
Kingsbane 
felt more effective than TB does though
Well I just want something more, to change a bit our gameplay
Watch mages get that second lust bac k see how many fotm bois reroll
big pog
honestly i just want some time in any kill to feel as impactful as the opener
cuz right now especially playing subterfuge it's like
25 seconds into a pull you get this state of depression that nothing will be as good as it was
This^^
bring back opulence restealth!!!
that felt so fkn nice
when u killed the golem and could drop combat :x
i think that's why i'm enjoying MA right now
it's like every vendetta is strong
in the way the first one was
Yeah, I've also always enjoyed more MA than subterfuge. I like big crits 
I feel like subt/ss is more impacftfull somehow
Even though The Numbers donโt reflect that as much
in short fights subt ss exsang is definitely bigger dam
like if you go do a 10 key and gib a fortified boss in 1:10 or seomthing
you will shit on it with 3 ss galecallers exsang
That triple dd on my pieces is very Nice tho. Not gonna lie lol
like a 56k peak on ST opener is fkn eyewatering
currently running 3x DD / 2x NP / 1x SS
is it worth keeping the SS trait as a night elf for the shadowmeld -> SS empowered garrote? not really sim savvy or know how to go about this
the majority keeps 1 ss trait, ss is overall always a save bet
thank u i love you very much
Do they do that since it is the best they have or do they just seriously want It? Going with Sub instead?
also why are so many people running master assassin on stormwall blockade
also 1 ss feels better to play
assuming by the time ppl reach stormwall they have the relevant MA pieces
and that usually sims better around the 410 range
It does Sim higher indeed but i very much agree with fuu
Ss feels so much more fun
wtb chest with dd and ss
The SS/sub opener feels so smooth compared to not having it, feels like a need for me at this point
I actually really like the MA opener. Might just be me.
Also how big is the dps increase to be a nelf whilst running it?
Yeah, don't take it wrong, I also like ss playstyle as well. Lf ss and dd as well xD
@rigid mango it's said racial difference is 1% but I kinda don't believe it
1% whilst getting like a second vanish feels a bit low ye
Itโs not a second vanish
Atm I got triple dd, one TC, one NP snd one twisted blade
Well, close enough
It's at best a mini-vanish
Double dose is usually so high on dmg breakdown for me
An empowered garrote*
Triple dd 2 np 1 tc
Aye DD is so neat
Tbh I'd swap a tc for SS any day
Just because i love how ss feels to play
My guildie rogue has shoulders with dd and ss
Isn't there a dungeon one?
Hmm iโd prefer a chestpiece tho shoulders and helm are very good
But i guess iโm hitting that lottery again next week lol
Gold tasseled epaulets
They have both
Aye got the mythic head off of first boss yesterday
Feels absolutely amazing
My m+ set up is way better than my raid set up, piece wise
I love how The mythic mechanic on The first boss is actually a bloody interrupt lol. Theres like guilds that are 4/9 hc 1/9 mythic
I mean when has the first boss in mythic ever been hard
I'm also severly overgeared for the stuff I'm doing, but I only casually raid
Well never hard. But a bit more challenging then this..
uldir. the elevator caused more deaths than like any other mechanic Keepo
1st bosses on mythic are never REALLY hard anyway
last i could think of is maybe trial of valor abit, harder atleast , and like siege of orgrimmar but back then it was heroic
Odin indeed
yeha, shitton of guilds had mythic taloc before they killed hc zul/mythrax/ghuun
this time tho i think people had mythic champs before they had conclave lmao
i dont think that rules applys too the 2-3boss raids
Yeah but still. Those were The last 3 bosses
Yeah conc is way harder than mythic champs
Nythendra was probably harder than xavius?
those are always raids in the middle of the tier where they expect people too be geared
xavius?
What's the mythic jadefire stuff?
you mean shadowpriest stacking?
Is that any harder?
Spriest fire mage meta pog
@rigid mango everyone goes up
xavius in a nutshell
Jadefire is a fun fight imho
We already do on hc
Every single time
Right?
no
Oh wait
on mythic every1 has to dance the dance with mr miyagi
Just near the end once if you're slow on heroic
The entire fight?
Yeah
Also orbs in the maze
not much stuff changes tbh
Not sure exactly what the deal is with those, but they're important?
keep a kidney for the tigers the orc chick summons is probably the 1 thing you should do
@royal lantern there was similar with warriors and execute
Aing that always a thing though?
Orbs, that is
Having to grab the things to cleave the wal
+l
2-3 orbs are enough
Aye I love seeing 3 empowered garrotes + ruptures ticking on the bunch
Feels very satisfyinf
Just save vanish for it
Saving vanish for The wall??
I would not do that tbh lol
I think it's normally up, i normally save it for first cat
I mean itโs not really a dps check xD
Nah, but that fight isn't a dps check for my guild
It's a brain check whether they can do the multi sided strike
I vanish right after the wall when they come back
maybe should wait for puzzle buff or not
Tbh, like so many keyboard turn
Bgrgb is hard ๐
It's insand
We spent like 4+ hrs on the same 5 people inting the multi
Not the most fun I've had ngl
our dps warrior dies to the first one every pull
Yeah but we're a social guild :^)

Itโs so easy tho
Can't bench people that's not nice
The minigame
Like you need to turn your char
And I had to stick the charger in
Thatโs it
Yeah
Lol
does melee give ruby stacks?
But peope keyboard tueb
on opulence
Turn*
@mental obsidian make someone else take it so you can take the opal :^)
Yea feels so bad as assa rogue to take ruby
im outlaw
maybe they use slow mouse sensitivity, can't turn fast enough
Opal 
asking for our sin rogue
well, if your RL tells you too take it, you take it
nope
Nah, they just fucking use their keyboafd
the guys with ruby need too stay alive, thats the most important part
Yea true i mean assa rogue dont have best add dps so it depends how good ur add dmg is
Opal feels so nice tho
ruby on sin is useless
Yea of course doing more damage always feels nice
Afaik pets apply it too
just give it to your monks or meme hunters
How many Topaz do u guys run on mythic Opu?
well ye dont know between ret, ww monk or our sin rogue
got me outlaw and 2 other DH
no bm hunters
2 topaz 4 ruby rest is the mouthbreathers that take opal
more topaz i think
so give it to the DHs
2 topaz only yea? When do u pop them?
or the WW
im also asked to take ruby... the bad side effect of being reliable
We use 4
being reliable nets me orb duty on grong
^
So glad I didn't wind up with that one.
