exsang gains a lot of value with SS traits
I will be runnig 2 ss 1 tb 1 echo 1 tc
Im not sure about my assa trait
1 dd i mean
I'm using SS most of the time, I really prefer the playstyle over MA. I'm kinda locked out of not running it at the moment, though
Master assassin? The one that make ur vendetta give a dots?
no, it's the talent you'd chose over subterfuge
What about the envenom trait?
The one that give envenom extra dmg, is it good to get? Or should i try to get piece with ss and dd and echo?
can't say for sure, I know that good rogues on the discord are using it
I heard the rupture trait is shit?
that's basically what I've heard in this discord so far. I don't want to spread misinformation so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ on that one
Depends probably what ur playing mrdann
I just want ST
Some traits are crap in raids but good in m+
To run on tyrannical week
Are you looking for gear with traits to farm
Or choosing out of what you've already got
Assassination have herodamage too, which ranks traits 
Im getting 415 from raid so assa will be the 400 gear leftover
So you'll know what traits you're gonna have ye?
Oh ok

Thanks buf
Its almost as everything you learned in outlaw got wiped out when entering this chat
it's almost like the basic things with regards to simming and chasing down traits doesn't change much from spec to spec
Hey i just started ass and loving it. I dont have the az power just yet but have 3 stacks of DD. Should I be going for something else in the meantime or is that ok?
I raid with lock but will probably do m+ on rogue
for m+ the traits are not that good
cause they offer you no benefit on trashpacks bigger then 2 mobs
yeah ive been using mut instead of fok with it
go for echoing blade, shrouded suffocation or twist the knife
first and last named trait shifts your statprio towards crit
Yeah i saw haste is last with mythic traits
Na, just get crit
I for my part got with abou6 6% haste on fortified weeks, and 10-13% haste on tyrannical weeks. after that im stacking crit
so can just keep a couple haste rings for tyrannical then
jep
half of my bags is full with gear to have always the proper stuff with me and my specs 😉
Guess I have a lot of farming to do
when playing master assassin, do you sit on vanish and vendetta till TB is up everytime?
No
you use off CD still?
Yes
i think i looked at top logs and ppl hold it though, APL uses off CD tho
like if you know you can hold vanish vendetta for 10-15 sec and not lose out on any in the whole fight, i guess u hold on it then?
If its like a 2 second wait then sure but otherwise on cooldown.
Its all situational
There is no point in not holding vendetta for ~5ish seconds for tb
You dont need tb to be ready, you just need tb to have less than 11 seconds cd when you use vendetta
i mean if youre in a 5min 30sec fight lets say. why wouldnt you hold.
well, were talking about the crit window with master assassin
There is no point not holding
Im just trying to think where youd benefit by not holding
if you for sure know you'd get same amount of vendetta's in
?
There is none
Unless you need the cds on exact timings or lose a cast, you lose nothing by delaying
so i should be delaying then.
Outlaw or HB with 3 EB on opulence?
Vendetta is 120sec, tb is 25 sec, 5x 25 is 125, 5 sec is not the world
Mythic ofc
I wouldnt use either lol. The adds are alive suchh a short period
So outlaw?
What ? You only have the chance to use 3 EB or?
I atleast did it with full st traits as assa
I run ruby as assa on opulence, spec is too slow for that imo
Ye had to do the Same Last time
I couldn't stack ruby alone on one golem
Got the 415 dagger as reward tho
we cant even get into p2 without deaths consistently, after 5 hours
I am hoping for a 410 dagger from weekly, feel like I am due since we're like 4 weeks in now or w/e
maybe I'll get super lucky and WF
410 only from weekly?
up to 420 if it warforges
Ye up till yesterday was running 2x385's
I got 400s so fast, even multiple heh
thats hard
I still run a socketed 385 offhand
offhand is not that important
I'm the only rogue in my raid so if an agi dagger drops it doesn't leave me lol
I better dont say anything.. 420 with socket and 415 daggers xD
Yet you still said ;p
technically my best offhand for M+ is a 395 pvp one with gemslot, but it's like only 1% better and I don't feel like getting it enchanted lol
I probably should though
Enchants are cheap
yeah, it's not about cost, just was lazy about it for a meager 1%
probably not even 1% tbh
1% is pretty significant to be honest
as far as i know weekly already is warforged from 400 to 410 by default, so cant go above
I literally just said it's not about cost
go level ur enchanter!!
so if its weapon its max 410 from weekly
it can warforge still
my rogue is my enchanter so i can get whatever i want
afaik
to 425
to 420
it can and is labeled as warforged if you get a +10 forge from the weekly chest dagger
i don't know what i just typed it makes no sense
i have a lot of items from weekly, they are all 410 mythic 10 warforged
@summer marten it can proc top 420 in weekly chest
but then it would be titanfroged wpn
it is
i was under the imrpession thtat weapons cant titanforge?
and m+ cache weapons are the only one the can titanforge
ah ok
the base level is 410, so it should be able to hit 420
never got weapon in there anyway, so never seen it
It’s just a labeling issue from weekly. The WF / TF doesn’t actually mean anything.
yep
thats the point
silly way to label them...
see there we go
i bet that its harder to relabel it, then to just let it be that way
yea np, i was ok with it as soon as fahwi said its possible only from weekly 😃
why? if you got a 420 from m10, that's a titanforged, no?
yep
they are labeled as if they were m10 drops, that's all
from m10 end of dungeon you can only get up to 410
yea, the only issue is that weapons cant titanforge usually, only from weekly chest
genai had a problem for weapons to be TF, when they actually dont exist XD
and i didnt know that exception
😉
even more since i never got weapon from it... or raid... or anywhere and still have 385 weapons while being 403 avg
Yall are special. Items from dungeons have a baselevel of 400. Items from cache are 410 base, but the game doesnt recognize that its from the cache, meaning its labeled as a warforge despite being baselevel. Weapons can therefore 'warforge' on top of the base ilevel of 410. The game doesnt recognize that this item is from a cache and thinks the item dropped from a dungeon. Since the game thinks its a 20 itemlevel upgrade from dungeon base, its labeled as a titanforge.
Cant believe this is still a thing so far into the expansion.
why wouldnt it be if people never seen different?
cause no one care...
i wouldnt even care if its labeled "myhtic 14" XD
see?
what counts is the ilvl and if its an upgrade
but okay, thats enough off-topic/wow-general stuff here
I think there is a increasing chance to get a weapon from chest if you failed the previous weeks?
Is that true?
used to be true for azerite now isn't true for any items as far as i know since azerite got moved to residuum
@lost sentinel Thats called bad luck protection, its been a thing for a long while

Yeah, thought so
wait for real?
last week I got the same ring I got the previous week, but with +speed on it... hope that doesn't happen again lol
i havent gotten trinket for weeks
trinkets don't have the bad luck protection afaik, only weapons
I wonder if it reset between seasons, though I don't remember when I last got a weapon
Are you sure back luck protection for weapon is a thing I've ran M+ every week since release and only ever gotten 1 weapon?
I got at least 3 last season
i got one 2 weeks ago for assa 😃 maybe this time for outlaw 😉
not convinced it's a thing, blizzard only ever confirmed azerite having bad luck protection on the cache
i know there's been bad luck on rolls for like
years
but that's irrelevant to the cache really
Depending on the amount of bad luck protection you could still go years without anything of meaning if you keep hitting the sweet spot 🤷
For Conclave raptors. Should I be multidotting? (spamming step/sprint to reduce downtime between) Or tunneling them down one at a time?
I assume multidotting within reason (they're close / my raid doesn't need the single target)
Hey what is better for m+ CT or Hiddenblades
!ct
There is no specific week or affix that makes one or the other more viable.
CT vs PB is mainly down to your group, the dungeon itself and your pull sizes, with PB naturally having an edge in boss fights.
It's mainly the combination of affixes and dungeons that favour one or the other. High Tyr KR/Temple favour PB in general, due to low pulls and harder bosses.
In terms of Exsang vs TB; Exsang wins since it works well with SS traits and it's only 1 global on your priority target for some burst damage and extra energy.
TB usually locks you to that target to gain the most out of it.
Question, for M+, i currently have 3 SS, 1 EB, 1 NP and 1 DD, I could change it to 2SS and 2EB
should I stick with 3SS?
@copper kestrel I'm not 100% sure but I think the ranged classes gotta deal with it mostly. For example if a raptor is gripped or nearby you can do some dmg but it looks stupid to me to chase them, while they get melted, while you get energy capped. Had an argument with my raid leader about it tho.
@gray saddle 2ssand 2 eb and two of what?
2 SS 2 EB 1 NP 1 DD
More eb the better I think
or 3SS 1 EB 1 NP 1 DD
I want six of them
thats what I thought, EB was doing ridculous damage last night for me
First
so I wondered if I should change one of my SS out
I would say first as well
I want 3 eb, 1 ss, then either dd, no or tc in an ideal world
The more crit, the better EB gets, the more CPs, the more dmg
awesome, thank you very much 😃
I of course rolled a new ring that is like 380 mast and 120 crit :(
Was so close to winning the game
So I can finally run 3x EB and with that you just FoK pretty much all of the time? Like 2+ targets just FoK?
and, hrmm, 2x DD or 1x DD and 1x NP this week ... has to be pretty close I'd bet
410 Galecaller's out of chest BLESS
How low do I dare to drop my Mastery without loosing to much dmg on Crit?
is there any way to look at m+ sin players, to see like their stats/traits/etc on raider.io?
as far as I'm aware, 3x EB just gimps your ST damage too much
It hurts a bit, but I think most are still running it when they can. With 2x DD it can help recoup some of it
this week I could see myself setting EB aside, bursting and tyrranical
is there a way to sim azerite gear you have at a different ilvl?
You just want a mix of EB/SS/TTK depending on how much cleave/aoe/singletarget you want
@blazing summit Raidbots
Oh, huh I had one guy telling me DD wasn't terrible but I kind of figured NP was better than DD
@spice surge yes I know I use raidbots but how do you change the ilvl of the piece you want to sim
I can do 3x EB, 1x SS, 1x NP and 1x TtK which is feels decent
Gear compare
If you run 3x EB do you need to run Hidden Blades as well?
is raidbots updated for NP being top trait now? top gear is telling me to go 2x DD even though those slots could be NP
NP lose value after 1 no?
according to bloodmallet and herodamage its the best trait to stack
Imagine a 3 EB / 3 TTK combo for MDI season, with MA and deeper strat and play it exactly like you would as a sub rogue except more aoe 🤔
since alot of the strats will involve 3-4 pack pulls and pulling reapings into boss
Wait, when did I miss NP becoming best ... hehe, guess I should check things more often 😐
NP still loses a lot of value after the first one
Its not a bad trait after the first one, but DD is better
Oh, thought so, so still trying to stack DD or SS better than NP stacked
so is bloodmallet wrong then orrr
Well, they put it first on stacking
But according to them, 3 NP is better than 3 DD
2nd trait of NP is +815 while 2nd trait of DD is +811
anyone know if on the tournament realm, if our characters will be 400 equipped or 415 equipped from the vendor gear?
so even the 2nd stack of NP is better than 2nd of DD
if raidbots is correct, which is why im asking
4 dps is only for the second trait tho
Man, I should have bought shoulders ... oh well, at least chest was SS+EB so can't be toooooo mad
1631 vs 1855 for 2 traits
Yes, but for the second trait only its the same dps, same with the third
FIrst trait of NP is better, as ive said, then they're pretty much equal on bloodmallet
what does herodamage pull from because its trait values are even more weird
Are secondary foods better than feasts now since agi sims lower?

!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
I just go with the feast when someone provides it
but in M+ I go for crit
when no feast is provided in raid, I go for haste
does the item upgrade tool tip go off your worst weapon or best?
I don't know about you ... but i would take 1xEB 1xTC 2-3xSS and as much as i can 2-3xSoB for M+ .... as i see noone even said anything about SoB but i think its op for M+
Does Nothing Personal stack?
@warm sable it's decent especially if running pb or hb
The damage portion not the energy @open compass
@open compass the damage component does the energy does not - so the first copy is very very good and the second/third are just good
What is it like 40k per np?
does like 60k for me, depends on your mastery etc
That’s exactly what I thought. Thanks @rose perch 🙂
Is bloodmallet or herodamage more reliable for azerite/trinket power? Looking at both is exhausting
anyone tried simming mythic rastakhan? any tips?
sim for what
top gear :p
traits u mean?
well traits yes and few other pieces i have
guess i'll just check logs what ppl use there mostly :p
yeah SS and shrouded will definitely be best for overall dmg on that fight since it starts with a 3/4 tgt portion
and if you're an upstairs gamer there's another cleave portion halfway through the fight
and you can maybe even vanish/vendetta at the same time as zombie dust totems
but if you're just a boss damage optimizer (which you certainly can be on this fight, it's the most important thing) then you can just do whatever you normally do
ye, think im gonna go with 1x SS, 2x DD, 2x NP, 1x TC :p
those are probably the best traits i can pull off with current gear
that sounds pretty great
fun times ahead today then :p
Anyone know why the Razzashi trinket isn't on on the pre-sim sites? Trying to determine if I should be rolling to replace my 400 with a 400 kimbuls/oscilating. My gut says no, since I will hopefully get something from M+ one of these days.
https://www.wowhead.com/item=165667/razzashi-tooth-medallion?bonus=4803:1592:4784&ilvl=400
My other trinket is a socketed yu'lon's
I personally just run full st for rasta. Ss is good for opener and decent for p3 but p3 just has 2 targets active when youd vanish so its ehhhh. And my group had enough cleave that tunnelling big boi to avoid another leap, and then pumping on boss was more beneficial. Your plan sounds good, i just wanted to provide another perspective @true gyro
On rasta focus more on priority target damage than Details damage, my tips for that encounter.
Ye idd. Im not one that cares that much about high parses. Rather focus on what matters the most :p
Cause I could go with ma/tb with 3dd and 3np as well gear wise
Debating 2 NP, 1DD v 1 NP&2DD. Sim the same.
Is one more reliable? (I like DD to not be as CD reliant)
my best weapon should always be my main hand right
highest ilvl yes
@copper kestrel if sim is same, you do you. Id go 2dd if it were me
Well, bought a 415 shoulder, was a dps downgrade from my 400 ones, feelsgood
Gratz
I got a haste/mast dagger with a socket
gonna roll for the 415 helm tonight,
16% to get BIS
66% chance to get an upgrade
33% chance to get trash and cry
I’ve gotten everything from champions but the helmet goodluck brother
so, i simmed and the highest stats now is mastery, should i change my enchant rings?
I dont think that math adds up @primal gazelle
Unless the 16 is included in the 66, of course
if im using 3 double dose when do i fok? 3 or 4 target? in m+
and if im using 3 double dose and 1 echo blade do i fok at 3 or 4 target in m+?
5+ targets without EB
and dd
2+ targets with EB
really really don't recommend playing DD in dungeons or ignoring it if you have it
you should ignore it* if you have it rather
for shadowmeld garrote am i correct in understanding, apply at any time in pandemic on a normal garrote and then do not overwrite similar to a normal empowered garrote?
Ideally apply just at the start of the pandemic window
ic
could some1 tell me what that OP Timewalking gear setup for assa was, some1 posted a set just garroting mobs or smth and them dieing
which spell last tier talent should I pick for m+?
for tw easiest is prob just bracers and the ravenholdt ring with 3x ss azerite. you could go mantle but you ditch azerite shoulders. could also run 3x eb with hidden blades and leggo cape. then add in fun trinkets but thats overkill.
saw some1 using t20 or smth
cuz of the 4 set garrote dmg
but i dont recall all the specifics
Top gear, enchants n gems. Just select the ones you wanna sim
Thanks
What traits are you fellas running this week for M+?
Im having a hard time deciding how many echo's I should run
Two maybe?
3ss 3 eb is def the best m+ setup imo
Ya
Yeah for sure. Just thinking about giving just a little extra ST kick for tyranical
But there is always more trash than bosses
so would poison bomb be suggested for M+ this week cuz of tyranical?
if you're group is weak in boss damage then sure
got a 385 dagger haste/mast, that is simming higher than a 375 crit/mast with a haste socket dagger. I lose 1%haste and 1% crit but the OH dmg makes it sim higher. Just oddly confused
You guys think Sin is stronger for M+ this week?
Do you guys use stat food or food based on top stat weight!?
do a stat weight sim and figured out whether 100 main stat or your top secondary stat food is better
in raid i eat feasts provided for free, but dungeons I eat crit food (for eb)
Alright im completely fed up with getting the waycrest chest 3 times in a row, which specific 415 piece should I buy for ST?
I got pistoleer spaulders 3x in a row as well. frigging garbage.
for raiding i see that the sites are saying 3x NP is now bis but when i sim it is still saying i should use 3 dd any reason why?
because NP has huge value at 1 trait and then is less valuable as you get more (but still powerful), whereas DD is good to stack
as always, trust sims tho
kk just hero.blood mallet made it seem stacking 3 was best but ill try to just get 3x for both i guess
the spymaster/ceph is bis for m+ from the vendor
the rainment is bis for m+
@raven mica
need to check by stack
i got it
on the hero damage site
i have 415 cowl/mag shoulders and spy chest
also so siege chest
got it
i dont think its worth to target it though
would take like... 7-10 weeks to get a targeted piece
fuck that
by then the content isnt relevant
thats true but getting the same piece 3x in a row doesnt affect your future chances of getting it
5 Weeks... assuming you do a +22 every week for 1030 TR, you would need to scrap 2k TR to get a target piece
Well considering how that would be the start of april
and how I already have 1k TR saved up
by april id assume you can already kill m mekka for the chest
Idk, mekka isn't gonna be that zergable
I'm probably gonna kill Opulence tonight.
If that gives you any sense of the prog im at
it will be with all the inc nerfs that blizz does to mythic
Can't nerf mekka much without removing any of the mechanics
Mekkatorque bots now put the colored image that you need to press over your head when you enter the bot.
that's the LFR mechanic isnt it?
4 out of the 6 dungeon helms has EB on it, i like my odds 🤔
The robots isn't even the hard part in pugs imo
What are people blowing people up?
!wa
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)
https://wago.io/E1EB91OtM (Lokkek's Group)
https://wago.io/SyLUNGD4X (Sovv's Group)
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
Other than people just not paying attention, the only challenge imo for mekka is when you get multiple mechanics on you at once. Like bomb, warp, and toss up/sheep. Which is rare
It is at least enjoyable.
I love it. Best boss in a long long time for me
Anyone actuallly have 3xSS and 3EB that are running high keys can tell me how much of a god you are?
Prog has been so fun. Hoping we get it tonight if our reclear is fast or tomorrow. Then onto the bench for blockade :p
Calling all @primal gazelles. This guy wants you to flex on him
what should i take Elemental whirl vs Gutripper
Let's check the liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist...
i know they are both kind of mediocore
so i guess if i don't want to reforge all the time whirl is the more safe choice?
It's more than fine.
ok, thank you, got decent 415 shoulders, DD and NP
i dont have 3 ss 3 eb so no flexing from me 😦
Noice.
I love it when you fok dirty
Man, i thought you did run 3ss 3eb. Whomp whomp. Whatever, he should be more impressed given that you dont, i guess??
Lol
im using 3 eb 2 ss 1 sob 400/415/400
im 414 in outlaw gear and im trying to play both specs. but having 2 crafted leatherworking slots with crit versa is killing my haste values
crit verse is actually bis for 3 EB playstyles lol
@primal gazelle do you just FOK during reaping or use finisher between each FOK?
@stable pine grab a WA that shows how many targets within a 10yd radius, finish if less than 7, keep foking if 7 or more
dafuk didnt even know a WA for number of targets exist - churchurboi
should probably play outlaw if you dont have 3 EB tbh
I'll do just that then.
Simming for 700 dps less in ST right now as Sin
Just need better daggers.
anyone got a disc that has premium raidbot so i can leech? lol
im considering gemming for haste this week for tyrannical since my ST is kinda gimped with 4 aoe traits (3 eb 1 sob)
desperately need to replace that sob
you need another ss babe
i'm still rocking a 385 off-hand dagger.
One day oppulence will drop his dagger, one day...
Does the azerite Nothing Personal stack? or is it just on 1 piece?
oke ty @cobalt gyro
does my versatility need to hit a certain number to make 3 NP sim higher then 2 NP 1 TC?
When running Master assa without any SS on lets say jadefire or champion of the light, do you wait with dotting any targets untill your vendetta is over on main target?
confirm / deny that bloodmallet / herodamage sims are bugged for 2x and 3x nothing personal? it is still a one point wonder?
i wouldn't say that. NP is still very strong after 1 trait, but trust sims
If i'm running 2 double dose should i be running MP?
Is posion bomb good in m+ atm? It simmed better for me than Crimson Tempest.
Didnt play that much in this season
all 3 in that talent row have use in m+
@mighty elm yea. Dont multidot during your vendetta. Either do it ahead of time or after, not during
i see @hollow stone , so on jade you'd dott both before vendetta ?
I havent done jade in a while. Got shoulders first kill. I ran ss that kill so i dont know. I would prob open normal st on monk, and dot up mage after vend. Maybe somebody with more recent/similar traits can chime in here
maybe i should just stick with SS and subterfuge on that boss, master assa with 3DD sims 410 more dmg for me so wanna adabt to it
Is it prog or are you looking to parse?
Id go for your st highest simming build then. Getting monk down asap makes the fight waaaaaay easier
Im talking mythic
yeah m2
Just to make sure we're on same page
yes ofc, im no hc pleb
Everyone progresses differently. Never know 😬
tru 
Anyway, id stick w your ma build, focus hard into monk. Multi dot mage after opener. And then just keep dots up on mage when its convenient. For a kill, the faster monk dies the better
Less seven sided strikes
And we can clear like 10 traps in phoenix phase with 1 cloak sprint so space is not really an issue
alright, asked about jadefire mostly to just know how ppl would deal with a boss with cleave
one of the top parses for jadefire runs no SS and subt, just check logs and look at how they casted shit thats what i do
never thought subt without SS bein a option 
Gotcha. So the thing about this raid is even cleave bosses have prio targets in every encounter so playing MA over SS subt is generally the play. However, ss shines in a few instances (specifically if you want to parse)
What top parse are you looking at?
That guy is running Subt.
and no SS, like I said.
Yea. He said no ss but with subt
looking at my wording, I can see how that might be a little confusing actually.
but yeah. I meant running subt, with no SS.
He does it on champions/jadefire/rasta with good results
And MA the rest
I think its actually a really neat variant seeing as how close MA and subt sim even with no ss traits
Looking at Jadefire rankings the one that stands out to me is the guy running 2X scent
I would guess the Honestly dude just didn't want to swap his gear to include a SS
we did it boys, 420 plume this week! anyone get anything awesome? id kill for a dagger that ilvl
Probably a good guess. I dont swap traits around for farm bosses either
Get outa here jozz. Asking for a dagg after getting that
That shit gets expensive, so he probably just swapped to Subt as a small dps increase
Gratz tho :p
He's also a NE meaning he makes extra use of Subt
Sad week to have my first decent 3x EB build ... did garbage for numbers in a FH
was only a 10 though, so I guess might get better with higher keys perhaps
lol thank you, ive been so cucked on my boxes this tier, i pvp and pve so its like double 410s every week
and i must have like 7 rings
last tier i actually got a wep early and raiding was good, but man my rng is so bad this tier, so im really hype over this 😃
Hey getting into assa should i only ever toxic blade after an envenom
we've had down the first 3 bosses of mythic raid forever now and still dont have those 415 azerites which are like bis/near bis for sin XD
pretty sure u just use it on cd jeffrey
kk thanks!
like you used to do that, but now in bfa, pretty sure you lose dmg if u hold it
i use mine on cd
would it be early in your opener?
well i dont have SS traits atm, so im running ma, so my opener might be different than urs
i usually do something like garotte mutilate rupture
then pop vendetta /trinket/racial and vanish TB/mutilate envenom
if you sim yourself on raidbots, you can look at the rotation its running
you can? nice ill have to check that out
Whats the deal with multiple Nothing Personal + Master Assassin build?
Wont Nothing Personal overcap you on energy then?
1 simcraft says 2 tc s doesn’t help any?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wGzqoDoVyxgSkdsqX6NFTp what u guys think? I’m hearing no ss unless ur doing exstringuate....
I personally run one just for combo points on the opener
Hello! Do you know if raidbots sim takes into concideration the cooldown of "use" trinkets? It says my bis trinkets are 2 "use" ones, could that be correct?
depending on your other trinkets, but yes it could be
Ive been seeing this more and more lately. Yes. Raidbots accounts for on use trinkets properly. Is one of them the mekka trinket? If yes, that trinket does not share cd with other on use trinkets. If no, then, yes, its possible that your 2 on use sim highest. I'll reiterate again (like i have every time this comes up): just because im saying two on use may sim best for you does not mean your goal is to get 2 on use trinkets. Rant over
And if ever wanna check out what raidbots is doing to sim. Click the "html report" and you can look at how it sims
I believe that was asked earlier too
I've heard folks say that before. Where do I access an example ability order the html report?
410 socketed plumage feelsgoodman
What are some of the situation you would use Harlem Trinket or Deadeye?
does envenom scale on weapon damage?
youre a monster if you call it the harlem trinket
all dmg scales off weapon dmg a bit i believe
deadeye is when you want more crit, dice is when you have a decent amount of crit already and you want a decent amount of all around stats
So deadeye for M+ and Harlem for ST?
Does anyone here have a PoV of any flawlessly played fight in 2x Nothing Personal Master Assassin build?
praise the lord, after 14 runs this week, its here. and it came in style.
very nice
cloak doesnt cancel out bursting stacks does it?
It does
I feel like those are two very different traits.
they're on the same row. and TC sims like 200 dps higher
but that's considering 100% uptime
so would be safer to pick NP yea?
For raiding? or what?
this is on my raiding set, yes
Then I'd follow the SIMs but keep in mind the added value TC has in 2+ target scenarios even though there are not many of them.
and that TC functions without you having to have "good" uses of Vendetta or whatever.
this is true, okay.
kind of a plug, and stay above 50% vs having to be decent w/ vend
Just have pots/healthstones/etc. as they're DPS cds now O _O
npbud
ive been fully conditioned to read "np" as nothing personal fuck me 😂
Np
lmfaooooooo
does it matter what secondary stats i have in my main hand? for example I have two 410 daggers, one has crit/haste other has crit/mastery. does it change my dps depending which one I have in main hand?
i still need daggers
WTT 2x EXTRA dice for daggers 
what's wrong with by gear boys https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8GbS3UvYNqVBbCZDtRHdfS
so when did nothing personal become bis? did i miss a nerf to something?
that heart
replace with dice. 😉
jk looks nice tbh
I have a 400 socketed dice but it sims lover
ok thanks, thought i had bis traits but guess i dont now lol
sheesh
dice are like 7th for st for sin
need jadefire shoulders
u ever run 3 double dose and then u look at damage breakdown and 2 of the mturned off
what a fuckin meme game
why would they turn off
Does 3x EB need Hidden Blades as well to be the best it can or is just 3x EB and PB fine?
there is a bug where your azerites can not work
randomly
and it happened to me
just happened again
how far is SS behind mutilate for pure st? it feels so bad not even having 1 SS
1SS and 2DD isnt THAT far behind 3DD if it makes you more comfortable, but its definitely ahead
@nimble tartan happened to me once for 2 bosses, 3 dd with 0 dd damage...until i realized i didnt poisons on 🤷
@chilly goblet Its a huge disvantage, perhaps on tyran weeks you can get away with it (maybe..?) but the main issue is you are essentially useless (or heavily hindered) during reaping waves
2 bosses before you notice? dude the zero energy regen clues me in so fast
By stacking EB you go from a horrible class for reaping to a great one
Okay I can't decide where to ask this. I've been playing outlaw every week so far, but my group now has a 17 temple and KR, should I play sin for those? I play with a Dh and Frost mage so i feel they'd be fine handling the big aoe pulls if i went ST build for the bosses. Is 17 even high enough to warrant not just playing sin?
fair enough @warm harbor makes sense, thanks. guess it's time to practice outlaw till my bad azerite luck runs out
not just playing outlaw* i meant
it depends on your comp
@ashen spoke the major issue you might run into is the 3rd boss dps check, overall outlaw will still beat sin on overall but if you have bad rolls during this fight you find yourself way behind on the 3rd boss dps check and your healer will get overwhelmed
you can get away with sin on KR and temple bc it's pretty small pulls, b ut really the answer will be what you need
outlaw loses a lot to spec for m+ compared to sin
got flashpowder hood 😦
Okay thanks for the replies, @warm harbor ye the 3rd boss was what would influence me to choose sin as its consistent. ill discuss it with my group
no EB/SS but still good i guess
could be worse
Where is bis azeritic on BoD for assa ?
Ty 😄
why is nothing personal simming so high now?
rogue raid stack double dose or shrouded suffocation
dd
ahhh
yes i see that
thanks Dayvanie
for second ring: Blightborne or Nothing Personal?
hmmm
Thinking blight for the crit
raidbots.com sim yourself to find out 😃
i'm very confused...I'm stacking Double Dose, but it seems nothing personal is what is simming higher as a trait.
stop being so hung up on 1 trait
azerite has 3 traits and ilvl
and all of those matter more than if 1 trait sims 100 dps over another one
but what changed to make that so? like literally monday it was DD and Treach
i think treach got a slight nerf last week
monday? no its was more than that
rly?
TC got nerfed and nothing personal fixed on simc
almost 1 month ago
TC got nerfed, and a couple week ago they fixed nothing personal, it wasnt scaling with haste on simc
sorry, linked a pt-br wowhead 😛
ok thank you!
does it do more damage with haste or just tick faster?
Gemhide or shrouded mantle?
does it even matter
Doesnt matter. Both of those are pretty trash. Gemhide is completely useless tho so shroud by default lol
hrmm, 2x EB, 2x SS, 2x NP this week or 2x EB, 2x SS, 1x NP and 1x TC .... sad times no ttk though
No eb this week with bursting i would go dd but thats just me
I'm going to mess with the 2x of each, too lazy and cheap to respec azerite 😃
lol fair
For MA. If TB isn't up for Vendetta/Vanish. I should activate vendetta and hold vanish for TB combo, right?
With 3x DD traits at how many targets do i wanna start using fan of knives instead for more damage
So, for up to 2 targets only mutil, at 3-4 targets you FoK to poison all tragets and then continue to mutil, at 5+ only fok
my hero
For M+, I think I saw someone say Cephlaphode is BiS for M+ (EB+TTK+ OP). Is it that the OP is worth more than the SS I get from Vestments of Indomitbale WIll (from conclave)
Probably not, TTK will give you some nice priority dmg but OP loses value with the more targets you have
hello guys, i was wondering if for this patch 3x nothing personal trait is better than 3x Double Dose
Its fairly even and will depend on your stats (sim yourself!)
raidbots is good
topgear optimization ?
so top gear will allow you to pick between all the gear/traits you have in your bags, to sim for items you dont have you can use Gear Compare
thank you so much
huh, 2x EB, 2x SS, 2x NP feels pretty solid in m+
for raid that is solid, yeah
I still want 2x NP, DD, SS just for all purpose raid, good for fights with adds, solid for ST
are we not good with the Ruby on M Opulance? i feel like i read that somewhere
low apm, not good for ruby
can make it work
but there are better specs
bm hunt, outlaw, dh, warr
ok ty
forced to take ruby 😃
Kimbul's Razor Claw...yay or nay?
My rl is trying to tell us to use mr.robot over raidbots xD
😮
flying atleast ur guild sims
so what is the secret to parse on jadefire on mythic as a stupid rogue?
just tunnel the f out of the monk?
and don't be stupid and cast vendetta 5s before multi-sided game 😐
ouch
I felt kinda good, did 27k on a FH 11 which for me is good cause i suck at m+, got a socketed 400 ring too so actually half decent loot
@fleet whale i was just coming in to say i got 415 folly akward LOL
but did yours have leech though? 😛
415 socket galecallers wow
Got champs helm on the bonus role tonight @nimble tartan 
got the champs helm and folley so im happy af, i dont have to reforge my azerite anymore other than my chest!
https://gyazo.com/377bd29f1a67ff4b4cdae89229ed0032 PepeHands mastery stacking
yucks
ill be damned since when the bis traits changed?
oh wait, the herodamage page has the last modified date, nvm
question for all who play sin in m+, on lower keys, is it necessary to take CT as adds would probably die before it deals full dmg? should i just prioritize FoK, ruptures?
lower meaning 1-11 maybe 12 max
bloodmallet sims the sinister gladiators badge higher than both my trinks, but raidbots sims the current 2 i have as better. is raidbots the one to listen to?
^
ah okay thats what i thought, just wanted to make sure. thanks homies
Do you guys use herodamage or bloodmallet to test which traits are best? They say completely different things for me. Like herodamage says stack SS while bloodmallet says stack double dose
i use raidbots personally
for the reason mentioned above, it goes the same with traits
does shadowmeld proc subterfuge
No.
what gem for opulence? someone else is grabbing ruby. opal right?
any benefit at all to meld in raid ..im assuming it doesnt proc MA either then
Im a night elf for the ally part of the raid
idk if it procs MA at all, but if you're using any SS you can get 1 SS garrote off, but it doesn't benefit from Subt
Procs Shrouded Suffocation.
Thinking of switching to Sin for this week from Outlaw for M+, bad idea without EBx3?
I have 2
hi
variable intensity gigavolt oscillating reactor. How do I use it? On CD (provided it's at 6?
My guildie asked me the same thing about playing sin for this week lol, is outlaw bad for bursting or something?
Imo Outlaw is better for keys compared to assa, even with EB
Especially with reaping
Was thinking for Tyr cause bosses take longer
Ehh sin has it's strengths
Depends on the comp. If you have really good air already then assa might be better cause ST is better
Thats what im thinking. Might be more useful for hard bosses
But if you're lacking in aoe I'd definitely take outlaw over EB assa
Depends on the key too. I'd take assa over outlaw in KR
so i had a question earlier on sin's aoe during m+. when is it beneficial to take CT? key # wise
Depends on the dungeon and your group
I wanna meme with 3 eb 3 ttk with MA Deeper strat and pretend to be a sub rogue
Who knows that might just be the meta for MDI
Pulling reaping into boss for the ttk dmg
Etc
I still think if you're going to do sub rogue strat sub is better
But you'd need very specific pulls
so in a case where my group had plenty of aoe, would i just go ST build and during trash pulls, fok and rupture?
not speaking of high keys
But sub lacks real aoe
MDI is like plowing thru keys lower than your gear level, yolo 3-4 pulls etc. I could see 3 eb 3 ttk being a thing. Insane aoe dmg and priority
whats mdi
Lol
What do you guys think of NP? Deciding between that and blightborne infusion. 18k DMG doesn't seem like a lot every 2mins
I like NP Bc it’s reliable and consistent
It's also a lot of DMG.
at what number of adds do you stop using rupture in a multi-target situation? (m+), and with using crimson tempest in a m+, are you just using CT to get the dot rolling, then rupturing? or spamming FoK > CT
Also the energy gain imo overlooked
Do I cast V.I.G.O.R. trinket on CD or align with CDs?
whats the cd on it?
1:30
Idt vigor is very good for raid tbh
any sin rogues do m+? gotta pick brains
My trinket game is weak (M+s haven't been kind!)
i believe 5 targets with rup is infinite energy
and yes build with fok
if two targets it basically your choice if u want to mut or fok. depending on if you want to focus dmg on one a little more or need to refresh DP on the off targtet
ah okay yeah i read that in the guide
thanks for answering, i'll play around without CT for now
if u wanna get better just watch his stream
seli's
just watch what he does and copy it to some degree
gotcha
oh i figured out the active dps number is pretty much ur details dps
@hazy skiff it is 100% viable, you just have to put in alot more brian work than outlaw
gotta know when reaping is to pool energy/prep bleeds so you have infinite energy, etc.
also have to be really good at knowing when to restealth. high keys, most tanks are able to chain pull for a good portion of the dungeon so sin rogues have the task of trying to restealth lol
Stupid question but do you cast vigor when it reaches 6 stacks or when the 6 stack is just about to fall off.
Cast vigor?
Mekka trinket
it doesn't matter when during the 6 stack you cast it
you get 12sec at whatever stack level you use it no matter what
it puts the timer on pause
what he meant was that he'd cast it right before it starts going down again, instead of popping it immediately upon reaching max crit
Exactly
yeah, but it still doesn't matter. you get the exact same period of max crit either way?
so pop it as soon as possible once its at full crit to put it on CD as soon as possible
Yeah I tried doing that also and seemed to work "better" by just doing an eye test and not counting. My little brain was just confused
am i the only one who constantly has broken azerite traits
like every other day my nothing personal trait wont give me the extra boost
My ST azerite piece has ruinous bolt on it.
AKA that trait breaks more often than it works.
my ruinous bolt pulled a goddamn boss in m+ once, I hate it
reforge that shit to echo'ing blades
I couldn't be bothered reforging my pieces for m+ yesterday so I just rolled with it
letting the price cool down a bit
gonna be doing single target mostly today and tomorrow anyways, so I'm sitting on it
How many bursting stacks you guys think we should stop at in this wonderful week?
that answer is going to be different
if you go 1 and then keep extending to 8 you gonna wipe
if you burst 8 mobs down instantly that is healable
ask your healer what they can deal with 😛
1st situation is rookie shit
So 7-8 stacks is healable ok. Def gonna ask every healer just to be sure
Brilliant thing to hear going into a group
You can just pop vigor at anytime as long as it’s 6 stacks
It’ll still be 12 secs total regardless of when you press it as long as it’s at 6
pop vigor?
so there's no absolute min/maxing with the trinket? it's not worth waiting for like half a second with max crit in order to extend the duration to 12.5s? I'm guessing he meant it like that, I don't even have it, I dunno ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@worldly iron it pauses the timer on it. if you pop it the second you hit 6 stacks, it will do the paused duration, then the normal duration of the 6 stacks, before going down again.
cool beans
great
is there anyone here that would go over some logs from tonight and tell me if its where i need to be and such?
Guys. Question. We are progressing on Mythic Mekka (Azerite chest drop). I have 2.3k TR. Would you hope for the best to get the SoB chest? Or wait for Mekka chest chance/ wait for 7k?
depends what you have now
the tier is over when you have 7k
IMO it's not worst saving the 7k at all
I mean if you're at mekka now you likely have done Jaina by that time
I bought relinq shoulders and rolled Gorak Tol Mantle which are better than raid shoulders, so it can pay off.
Lol yeah. Got Champs helm, Gorak Tul w/e shoulders and not just need to get something better to replace my chest from M Grong
what azerite traits/talents are the go to in 8.1 now?
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
ur asking if u should change double dose and go eb for m+?
@marble hemlock sick setup for this weeks big tyrannical bois
even for forti ttk is pretty gud, other classes can carry aoe and you focus more on evening out mob-hp
@marble hemlock you're not using any DD on tyr?
nah
dd is useless on trash
not worth playing a trait for only bosses when you still spent over half your time hitting trash
id agree with you on fort weeks
Guessing I need to roll chest then to get that setup
@marble hemlock whats the reasoning for playing only one SS this week in particular?
idk, i just feel that ss is overrated
SS doesn't scale right?
the damage does, cp doesnt
theres few aoe pulls where you can utilize the 3 garrotes in an efficient manner
by hitting 3 high hp mobs while the other mobs have less hp, making them die evenly
In the sense of scaling with you getting better overall gear with more agi and crit., compared to TTK
usually you just make sure one mob dies faster, and then you gotta clean up the rest anyway, so its not like its a very time-efficient dps trait
I wanna try ss/3xttk/2xeb
You will enjoy being a pseudo sub rogue with 100k envenoms
if you ahve 10 mobs, and you need 30sec to kill them, doesnt really matter whether you deal big or slightly less damage to 3 of those 10 mobs, pack will still last 30sec :/
I don't have the gear for it but that's the dream
people are incredibly focused on high overall right now
but literally any class can do decent or good aoe
few classes can do good prio
or high ST, which is more time efficient imo
overall is easier to track, probably
Yeah I gave the 3SS exang build another shot last week and could definitely see a difference on the big reaping mobs living longer
you can definitely still run a very strong aoe setup with 3ss/3eb or something like 1ss/2scent/3eb and running exsang+ct
Wait even with one SS u still play exsang in m+ right?
but at that point you might as well just play outlaw
Exactly
i like the flexibility assa has in terms of traits and gameplay once youre locked into traits
outlaw has good prio aswell thanks to wits, but it requires you to use BF, assa can choose at will
if i wanna prio, i prio. if i wanna do aoe, i just spam fok 😃
I tried hb yday in a ml, went pretty well
A fully stacked fok with 2eb does decent dmg on st
Yea @marble hemlock almost conviced me to go for the 3rd option
Ran the 3rd setup and it's a fair bit less pad dmg on risen souls but sick crits
You'd need seli's chest to run 2EB and 1SS which would be ideal
So gl on random azerite
Next week hopefully 😁
I don't get how people already got those insane traits gathered
You must be using 390 ilvl pieces or something
The raid bosses actually have some nice pieces
luck helps a lot too
But yea luck helps, got opu mythic head on first kill 😁
You can get a good 400 setup from raid alone which is enough to push quite a bit in M+. 415 is a luxury
Cos I got bis traits for ST but suck ass in M+. And even when I get a good azurite piece in raid for M+ it's given to someone else
How much the ilvl difference matters between 400 and 415 ilvl JUST BY STATS
I know traits are more important but I'm kinda scared to lose stats haha
Having a very good trait setup is more important than running with random 415 just cause they are 415
does anybody use Venom Rush at all? Or is there a situation where it would be good?
Bleah
Venom rush is too much behind I think
it is not good
I mean I know it would simplify things..
Someone within a good guild should try to parse top 10 with venom rush to fuck with people
I had an orange parse on fetid while running ct without realizing it, but i think tb/exsg/vr row is much more impactful
quick question , i belive, all rogues skills r 1sec gcd ? or something like vendetta ( i think ) is .75, if it is, someone have a list of internal gcd of skills ?
gcd is flat 1 sec
Vendetta is 1s but scales with haste
Ye
grats on cyphohide @marble hemlock big pog
Try popping hero/gcb and casting vendetta
It's like almost no global
Also empirically proven that you can use 4th global within subterfuge if 1 of them is vendetta
But still not worth doing for dps
ah nice, i forgot about that
Lul
@vast forum so, only ar and vendetta have internal scale gcd? or there is more?
ar lowers the gcd in general
Ar lowers all other gcd to. 75 i think
But everything else should be 1 sec
humm
Ya
If i'm not missing something
Also, just pop bl/gcb for that fast swirly ball @solid nova

I think .8s GCD in AR?
AR?
Adrenaline Rush.
guys ideal stats for assa, thanks
