im usually around 30k dps with single target focus build

#

still goin for 80k+ dps on reaping so im fine šŸ˜‰

#

but for fort weeks ill guess ill switch one ss for one more eb

#

especially with teeming

desert vault
#

I wish I could pull 30k. Only like 404 equipped though and I dont run high enough keys either. Been going back and forth from 3x EB, 2x ttk, 1x ss and 2x eb, ss, ttk.

bronze kelp
#

im also only 404 equipped

desert vault
#

Oh jeez. I'm clearly doing something wrong then :)

bronze kelp
#

maybe

rigid mango
#

30k on waht

desert vault
#

I do 22 to 25k overall

bronze kelp
#

its okay, depending on dungeon

#

30k on ML or FH, which have a lot of trash

#

25-28k on such dungeons like Temple or KR

desert vault
#

What traits are you running?

bronze kelp
#

playing with 33% crit and 15% haste atm

#

2TTK 2EB 2SS

hollow stone
#

It depends on your tank pulling too, and group comp, and a number of other factors such as what youre doing for the group. Id say 30k+ is good for end of dungeon on meter dps

viscid crown
#

i think you should really go for 3 ss, other ones are kinda whatever as long as you have 1 eb coz why not, also in ml and fh you should play CT i reckon

hollow stone
#

Ct is poop. And a trap

real bay
#

did some 15-17s with outlaw and he did overall maybe 1k more, pretty much only beat me on reapings, bosses were quite equal, he did beat on some

hollow stone
#

Get more eb and dont run cr

#

Ct

#

With 2eb im pulling over 100k on reap using the dayvanie strat and just dumping fok after fok

viscid crown
#

ct is good, idk what youre smoking, for reaping it blasts and on freehold at least you get easy packs that can double pull

hollow stone
#

You do you. But trust. Ct is weak

viscid crown
#

idk if 35k overall in freehold 17 is weak for you

hollow stone
#

Nah, thats good. Clearly its working for you

desert vault
#

On reaping packs are you putting up two rupture then just fok and envenom spamm

viscid crown
#

the trap with ct is that you spend too many cp on it insted of keeping your 6-7 ruptures so youre low on energy and then u slowly become useless

hollow stone
#

Nah, just rupture sniping on reap and then just foking

#

With some env cause i have 2ttk too

viscid crown
#

i think you just use envenom to keep the buff up probably

desert vault
#

Like you fok past max combo points?

hollow stone
#

Yea

viscid crown
#

to spam fok every gcd you need at least 4-5 ruptures rolling

hollow stone
#

Depending on the reap size, fok w eb will do more dmg than ct or anything else

#

You dont for reap if you rupt snipe

viscid crown
#

or yeah that

#

šŸ˜›

#

ive not played 3eb, only 3 ss 1 eb 1 ttk 1 sob

bronze kelp
#
  • CT lowers you boss dmg again
#

Cause u don't use it on st

desert vault
#

I have been doing it all wrong cause I was fok to 4 or 5 CP then spending it on envenoms

sturdy python
#

Just depends on how many eb, ttk traits, prio targets, and total targets you have

bronze kelp
#

On high enemy count u just rupture 4 targets then fƶl the hell out for pure aoe

#

As enemy count shrinks u use finishers again

desert vault
#

Huh ok. I normally run 2 or 3 eb traits so certainly be. Doing it wrong. So just open with 3x ss spread around and then another 3 or 4 ruptures spread around. Then just into fok?

#

Until back down to like 2 targets?

spice surge
#

You dont put up 4 ruptures when you have 3 garrotes rolling

#

You need a total of 4 bleeds to be energy neutral (assuming you dont have literally 0 haste)

#

So while the first 3 garrotes are up, you dont need 4 ruptures ontop of that

arctic harness
#

Next week is teeming fort, people still not running CT?

spice surge
#

Imo its never worth to run CT anymore

sturdy python
#

EB killed CT

spice surge
#

If you want that kind of "pad damage" you might aswell play outlaw

#

Its not pad per se, but it looks good on the meters but doesnt make your run that much faster

arctic harness
#

If the entire dungeon is about big amounts of trash, its not really padding

merry elbow
#

you are literally without a talent on boss with CT

candid jasper
#

Is the master assassin build the one to go for with the double dose/nothing personal traits?

spice surge
#

Like, does killing the small reaping souls 2 seconds faster actually make the run faster if you have to spend an additional 6 seconds killing the one with the smashes?

#

Killing the souls faster gets you more dps, but doesnt necessarily speed up the run

arctic harness
#

... who said anything about reaping, its teeming fort

spice surge
#

?

arctic harness
#

Regurgitating the same moot point about ā€œmight aswell run outlawā€ everytime someone says something about aoe is pretty dumb

merry elbow
#

its not really dumb, if you wanna run CT because you need aoe dmg then yeah outlaw will do it better

spice surge
#

If you want to sacrifice a lot of low target count damage for better high target count damage, which is exactly what you'd do if you'd spec outlaw

#

instead of assa

#

Its not like assa does 0 aoe without ct :p

#

A single fok still does more damage than a ct cast

#

with eb traits

#

But sure, if you want to use CT go ahead

fleet whale
#

I'm currently at a spot in where with my two sockets, i have one mastery and one haste gem

#

that is how close they are for me

bleak spoke
#

Next week might actually be one to play ct on in dungeons with a lot of casters because mobs might be hard to group up for the pbomb

hollow stone
#

Nah. Next week is play outlaw week lol

bleak spoke
#

Well yeah but lol

#

I’m still not tryna play outlaw in kr or temple but honestly I’m really really not tryna play ct in those dungeons either

#

With bosses dying in some 1:30 lookin timer on 15s

hollow stone
#

Yeaaa

bleak spoke
#

So in a way the affixes don’t really affect any decisions

#

Except now I have a sub set I might play that next bolsto

hollow stone
#

Ew. But also yay. Somebody's gotta bring it back

bleak spoke
#

Yeah I haven’t played it at all this season

#

Just been alternating outlaw and assa every dungeon to see which ones I get more out of cycling AR vs being locked to vendetta

#

That’s the main thing for me it’s not aoe quality or st burst it’s whether cooldowns line really

#

If they don’t then I play outlaw

hollow stone
#

Ive played sin all week to help prio shit down to avoid huge stacks since my other dps are mongos. And we have boomie prot warr dh for reap :p

bleak spoke
#

Yeah I think I want a macro to take flurry off next time this week comes around

#

Too much of me shouting I CANT STOP with grand melee rolled in aoe lmao

hollow stone
#

Prot warr op w avatar on reap

#

Lol. Yuuuup

chilly obsidian
#

How much % of your overall damage do you guys normally do to raptor's on conclave?

dark crag
#

Nothing

chilly obsidian
#

Nice, I like that

hollow cradle
#

Hi,guys.
Does anyone have a weakauras for a rogue in 7.3.5 or even in the legion
Or throw a link please

dark crag
#

I stay on boss and let the mongo dps insta rape the raptors

royal lantern
#

how2prot warrior

#

stack the thunderclap trait

chilly obsidian
#

That's the kind of validation I need

royal lantern
#

congratz, you are now a top tier prot warrior

chilly obsidian
#

No dont stack thunder clap

#

Stack the avatar trait

#

More damage

dark crag
#

In mythic i maybe use 1 kidney if a raptor targets a worthy guy

royal lantern
#

idk, thunderclap and top dps

dark crag
#

And the raptor runs near boss

chilly obsidian
#

I had a tank shit talk me cause my raptor damage was low but was leading overall dps so I needed validation from other rogues

#

Thx

bleak spoke
#

If you don’t want to lose anything spec internal bleeding

dark crag
#

If raptor dmg is a problem spec outlaw, as assa you could single env them and thats it

bleak spoke
#

And the kidney pays for itself in terms of dmg per combo point and energy regen

#

It’s actually higher base dam than envenom

chilly obsidian
#

If raptor damage was a problem we should have kicked the 3k dps shadow priest

bleak spoke
#

3k

#

Is he 310

chilly obsidian
#

Pugs are a struggle

dark crag
#

3k on raptors?

#

Or overall?

chilly obsidian
#

He died instantly before the first Paku wrath

#

Every time

#

Overall

#

Lul

bleak spoke
#

What

#

I would leave

#

That group

chilly obsidian
#

The struggles of a casual guild I hate raiding

#

Well I hate raiding with casuals I mean lul

bleak spoke
#

If you’re topping damage in a pug with someone doing 3k you probably deserve a better group

chilly obsidian
#

Thanks lol

bleak spoke
#

Don’t make yourself angry and waste your time for no good reason haha

chilly obsidian
#

The struggles of raiding with friends who insist on bringing shit guildmates

bleak spoke
#

Yikes

strange python
#

Its all about that DPS!

#

(Was being sarcastic)

bleak spoke
#

I think even in full m0 gear you’d have to be outstandingly bad to not maintain like 12-15k on any class right now

dark crag
#

Dead dps deal no damage

bleak spoke
#

You’d have to be outstandingly bad to die before paku wrath

#

As rdps

#

Like

#

How does that even happen

#

I’m actually confused

lone junco
#

neither were dead.

#

boggles me.

bleak spoke
#

Yikesssssss

lone junco
#

thats 14k 12k.

#

Jade masters.

bleak spoke
#

As a dh?

lone junco
#

it has got to be a timing issue with meta or something

bleak spoke
#

Jesus

#

No way

#

You can blade dance on cd

#

And do more than that

#

Actually

#

Afk auto and just spam blade dance

dark crag
#

Last hc run, one lock needed to go afk and was just placed there, pet hit the boss that guy did 1% logs with only pet dmg

bleak spoke
#

Who knows what goes through people’s heads when they’re playing haha

chilly obsidian
#

Anyone had any weird issues with jade fire?

#

We had the rings of hostility show up but we didn't teleport

strange python
#

Yea, monk always disapears when i pop Vendetta

#

or wait, what did you mean?

#

😃

dark crag
#

Hahaha

chilly obsidian
#

So we were just right on the orbs

dark crag
#

Is it hp based?

lone junco
#

oy

chilly obsidian
#

My world questing alts are 390 so idk

lone junco
#

my hpal was literally 380 in 4 days.

#

370 in 4 hours.

storm pilot
#

any advices on galecallers usage?

bleak spoke
#

On cd

strange python
#

Use it when you gotta run, so you run faster.

bleak spoke
#

Line with every vendetta

storm pilot
#

ty @strange python

strange python
#

np friend ā¤

lone junco
#

@storm pilot hes trolling.

bleak spoke
#

Loool

lone junco
#

use it when you can stand still in the circle. or you get no buff.

storm pilot
#

?

lone junco
#

there is a circle on the ground. Be in it, or you get no haste.

#

on cd is fine. lining it up with vendetta is fine. but dont use it prior to movement. thats stupid.

strange python
#

And yes @storm pilot , i wasnt being serious. Dont do as i said, do what @lone junco and @bleak spoke said ā¤

storm pilot
#

I knew ur trolling so im a bit confused right now. Just thanks to all of u 😃 U are nice guys ^^

bleak spoke
#

On some fights you can use it to kite too

#

I love that thing on opulence right side

#

Cuz if you drop it in md of the golem you move so fast

strange python
#

Using GCB to avoid the flames oO

bleak spoke
#

Yeh just don’t do it before room transition

#

I’ve been memed pretty hard

#

A bit of good news, my guild isn’t going to make me take ruby anymore cuz I linked a clip of ashine addressing guild masters who make rogues take ruby xd

strange python
#

Never had a problem taking the ruby gem myself. So good for you i guess D:

bleak spoke
#

Ahh you can reasonably pool long enough for the buff to just fall off is the issue

#

Cuz 2.5 seconds

#

Especially playing TB

strange python
#

link the clip, wanna see it 😃

bleak spoke
chilly obsidian
#

I want to take opal :/

strange python
#

Well, if im carrying Ruby im sacrificing my own DPS for the better of the raids DPS. Thus i dont pool that hard šŸ˜„

bleak spoke
#

I mean I literally don’t have the haste to upkeep the buff

chilly obsidian
#

Ruby rogues unite

spice surge
#

I mean hes not wrong

#

But he is also not right

#

Rogues are decent for ruby because they're durable and dont die

strange python
#

Hes not wrong, im not saying that. But it can work, and i dont have a problem with making it work

bleak spoke
#

just because he is correct doesn’t mean he’s right?

spice surge
#

Moreso than them being the most optimal applier

bleak spoke
#

Yeh to be fair I’m one of the idiots who never actually falls over until the very end of a wipe

dark crag
#

Bm hunter are best ruby

bleak spoke
#

I just don’t want to drop the buff or something and be upset

#

Does their pet stack it?

strange python
#

We have such a strong kit to be the last ones standing on a fight, makes us worth habing Ruby on even if its subpar

cobalt gyro
#

Rather not wipe the raid on otherwise what is a kill

bleak spoke
#

If they still make me take ruby I’ll play outlaw and just afk sinister I guess

chilly obsidian
#

BM hunters tho lul

dark crag
#

Don't know but they can use a skill 100% every 1,x secs

bleak spoke
#

Our issue is people not making it through he rooms without splattering anyway

#

And when they get swapped they tard out

royal lantern
#

p1 is the hard part of the fight anyway

strange python
#

yea for sure

royal lantern
#

you will need like 4-5 p2 pulls too get the kill

strange python
#

second time p2 we killed it

bleak spoke
#

To be fair I was honestly resigned to take the ruby cuz I’ll be top damage regardless

#

Like even with the two pulls we made it to the actual boss with the ruby it’s like 5 fucking people total actually know how to play their fkn class zzz

royal lantern
#

nobody cares about your dps/dps logs on opulence

strange python
#

You dont have to pat yourself on the back all the time :/

royal lantern
#

thats 1thing people should learn ;P

bleak spoke
#

Yeah I don’t care either my ilevel parsed are gigadepleted lol

dark crag
#

On hc you all go right and only kill 1 golem, then you get good logs

bleak spoke
#

Oh is that how that happens?

#

Wtf

royal lantern
#

well, you spend more time on p2 then

bleak spoke
#

I have a 99 anyway xD

royal lantern
#

wich means more opal stacks

chilly obsidian
#

That sounds cheesy and fun

dark crag
#

It is

bleak spoke
#

Yeh that sounds super fun lol

#

Just blast the boss into the next reset

royal lantern
#

all 100 logs are cheesy as hell

bleak spoke
#

Do you even take opal in that case

royal lantern
#

100 logs on fury warrior in legion?

#

do it with a guild

#

everyone except the warrior stops dps when you reach 30%

#

enjoy your fury 100 log

dark crag
#

With 1 golem you get more add spawns, opal is king

strange python
#

lads

#

scent of blood or unstable cata for grong?

#

ik it's minor but haven't put in traits yet

bleak spoke
#

Or do you go emerald and don’t move

strange python
#

Sim yo self!

royal lantern
#

i would go cata

strange python
#

ye but it's grong

#

kind of hard to sim

royal lantern
#

doesnt help because catalyst always sims high

strange python
#

ye

#

fuck it

#

no real movement in the fight

#

so cata can't be bad

#

Id take scent

#

just to go against the majority

#

St it's a 300 dps difference

#

lmao

#

HUGE agility during add phase, tripple rup rolling

#

big big numbers

bleak spoke
#

Yeah just leave grong with full cp

#

The adds will spawn immediately as you refresh the rupture

ruby oxide
#

It would line up with vendetta/Plumage as well if you're running that trinket

strange python
#

you're a cruel man krem

bleak spoke
#

But instead of leaving for them just mutilate the boss twice

strange python
#

Haha, am i making you doubt the unstable choice?

#

šŸ˜„

#

lmao

#

get but it's minimal

bleak spoke
#

So you can open again with rupture vanish 3 g rupture

strange python
#

so idgaf

#

my guilds dogshit anyway

#

not like logs are achieveable

#

If its a minor differemce. id always go with the passive gain.

#

well

#

i dno if it's minimal

#

how do you sim a boss like grong

#

Get toss on you as Unstable spawns, and its wasted.

#

for example

bleak spoke
#

Idk my guild strugglebusses on everything but my progress logs are still purple/purple side of orange

strange python
#

dno how much uptime there is on the adds

#

it's 300 dps

bleak spoke
#

And they make me stay on the range add cuz our rdps can’t kick xd

strange python
#

lul

#

If you arent unlucky, Unstable is probably the way to go. But if you wanna guarantee you get worth from the trait you go scent

#

Your call if you wanna play the lottery or not šŸ˜›

bleak spoke
#

Unstable ain’t bad is the thing

#

Like it’s super strong when it appears on TB

real bay
#

unstable puke besad

royal lantern
#

unstable is quite good

#

because it procs all the time lol

bleak spoke
#

It’s the only 415 chest I have and beggars can’t be choosers

#

That’s actually not true but I play grong chest for outlaw m+

#

The adds spawn every 2 minutes and die after 30s at most

#

Or if your guild is throwing then you get a full second TB before they’re both dead

#

This is actually an interesting question of whether scent is viable on that fight

strange python
#

If you're doing the tactic where you leave 1 add up, youd get 2 full rup on that add before it dies

#

thats 48s of 156agi

bleak spoke
#

Best case scenario you get back to boss as your garrote falls off if you kill one add and return

real bay
#

415 is 179 agi

bleak spoke
#

Like what I would do if my guild didn’t make me play both adds unlike every other melee would be to overwrite 4s of empowered garrote from the opener with a non empowered one

strange python
#

Even better! šŸ˜„

bleak spoke
#

Like do garrote rupture muti and leave

#

And then rupture vanish g g g rupture

#

And then you have Tb come off right there

desert yoke
#

does it depend on traits if i should be running master assasin or subterfuge?

strange python
#

yes

bleak spoke
#

And bleeds rolling on all three

#

Yes if you have shrouded at all run subt if not ma probably sims better

desert yoke
#

so one shrouded is already enough for subterfuge? i have 2x DD 2x shrouded 1x NP

strange python
#

without subt, the difference between MA and Sub is <100dps for me

bleak spoke
#

Yeh your shrouded is a dead trait with ma

#

Cuz you never vanish to put bleeds on

desert yoke
#

was jsut checking logs for blockade and ppl seem to paly both

strange python
#

Blockade is ST fight, so go with your best ST setup

bleak spoke
#

Yeh on blockade I put the shrouded away usually

#

When mythic happens I’ll play exsang for that cuz I already know my rdps won’t kill the adds

#

And I’ll have to vanish for them

#

And pretend I’m in m+

ruby oxide
#

Yeah, there's a reason the big guilds run like 3 melee for that fight

bleak spoke
#

Yeah

#

We have roster problems as is

ruby oxide
#

Same.

marble elm
#

3 melee on blockade?

bleak spoke
#

We some 3/9 lookin

#

Sigh

ruby oxide
#

We have 21-22 players and 5 are melee. A few of us are working on ranged alts and stuff

#

We're 3/9 as well

bleak spoke
#

Yeah I have a warlock I mained last tier and maintain weekly but

#

I love the rogue and I feel tepid about the lock

#

Like when I show up on the lock I still gun on the meters but it’s not like the rogue where I give everything haha

ruby oxide
#

I'll be ruby-bitchin'it up on Opulence tonight, gunning for 4/9. But the fight is so long, if we can't progress on the gauntlet and see P2, I'm a little concerned. And we only have 3/20 players who can solo the golden shower

#

2 BoPs available

bleak spoke
#

We have 2 bops. We’ve made it through gauntlet twice

#

Our players don’t seem to understand the swaps after 7 hours of pulls

ruby oxide
#

What immunities are we going to use to mitigate Coin Shower? Battle Rez.

#

We pulled once for a dry run on wednesday and then we had someone disconnect and hte game forced an update that was taking forever so we had to swap to heroic

strange python
#

bop

bleak spoke
#

And the way they place gold in heroic makes me think they literally never have run Kings rest before

ruby oxide
#

Kings Rest is hard. Dead Key. GG

marble elm
#

you can soak the first one or two

bleak spoke
#

I love Kings it’s big assa dungeon

#

The skill expression on the last boss is kinda nuts

#

When I see someone like seli run King’s I know I have such a long way to go and that’s a good feeling imo

ruby oxide
#

Something to work towards is always nice

#

Nobody stays on top forever either

primal gazelle
#

lies

strange python
#

lies

primal gazelle
#

warlock been top for the past 5 tiers

#

šŸ˜„

strange python
#

ive always been on top and always will.

bleak spoke
#

loool

#

Are you still benched on spk Dayvanie xd

ruby oxide
#

Coin Shower on Mythic does 3.2million damage, is there an external setup to actually soak it as a raid? Seems like too much

#

considering you want rotations to cover greed's wail

strange python
#

Soak first, bop second if no immunity sacrifice rest

#

easy

#

šŸ˜„

marble elm
#

soaking the first is fine

bleak spoke
#

What’s 3.2 divided by 20

#

160k

marble elm
#

soaking the 2nd is fine too but if you cant handle it just do first

bleak spoke
#

So like 100k in darkness

#

And like 50k after feint for us

#

That’s like two stacks of resounding

strange python
#

40% of 100k = 50k

#

math 1.1

#

šŸ˜„

marble elm
#

feint is a dps loss

bleak spoke
#

Nah there’s multiplicative scaling on dam reduction

#

And traits and shit and other things

primal gazelle
#

why feint when you can blame healers?

bleak spoke
#

Loool

strange python
#

Stack Vers and soak em alone

bleak spoke
#

Plumage to soak :^)

golden relic
#

Just curious, who here acctually likes blightbourne infusion as a trait

bleak spoke
#

Everyone

civic palm
#

What is there to "like" about it? o _O

bleak spoke
#

It’s got more uptime than overwhelming power

#

Okay I’m lying

civic palm
#

l o l

bleak spoke
#

But it’s got lots of uptime

golden relic
#

Idk its a 80 dps upgrade for me over a 2nd NP, but litterally the trait

#

is just pure puke proc

bleak spoke
#

Like 45% in a dungeon

#

I tracked it a lot last season

civic palm
#

Right so what is there to "like" about it, it either performs well or doesn't.

golden relic
#

what is so hard to understand about the question, it sims well but the proc feels shit when playing the game

marble elm
#

what is there to not like about it vs another nothing personal

bleak spoke
#

Feels like the 4cp mutilates happen a lot with it but that’s obviously feelgcraft

marble elm
#

how does another nothing personal feel better

bleak spoke
#

I think that’s the wider issue this is all feely

#

But np is consistent right

golden relic
#

well ye ofc its all feely

#

exactly

bleak spoke
#

I’d take np

#

Did you get nice shoulders

golden relic
#

consistentsy vs a proc that c an proc when you are not doing anything

#

or it can proc but how good is that proc if its 80 dps over smth thats consistent

#

is that worth, imo no

bleak spoke
#

No it’s not

golden relic
#

no ive already had gorak tuls for ages

#

but i didnt have first boss head until thursday

bleak spoke
#

If you play that piece in dungeons it’s big dick though

golden relic
#

ye sorry im talking purely from a raid POV

bleak spoke
#

Yeh for raid I’d play np over it for sure

#

Cuz you choose when you vendetta

#

That’s already stronger right

civic palm
#

You can manipulate high proccing 1PPM spells just as well.

#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

golden relic
#

Im not saying something is right and something as wrong im curious how the thought process of others is

civic palm
#

But that's... some special garbage.

bleak spoke
#

Sounds like you’d have to be a nutter to try to get that to work

#

You know those tv credit things at the end of series where they tell you what a character’s doing with their life after the events of the show. ā€œThis rogue is now trying to optimize incanter’s flow on his mageā€

#

Xd

civic palm
#

It's more about losing DPS from not triggering a proc, which is entirely counter-intuitive as none of these procs are worth that much DPS.

But from time to time you can simply switch to a target that you could make better use of that DPS.

#

But again, none of those procs do that much.

bleak spoke
#

Nothing like that buff at the end of legion right

civic palm
#

heh

bleak spoke
#

That people actually lined cds for

#

Err something legionfall

#

Idk I didn’t play then

ruby oxide
#

So you think we can soak coin shower with darkness, barrier, some personals? Personals need to be saved for greeds wail?

marble elm
#

Personals should be saved for people with liquid gold

bleak spoke
#

You can soak with 20 on darkness

#

It’s 3.2 mil right

Is it practical to soak with 20? Does it overlap with liquid gold?

#

Dude that’s less damage than a mid level Kings key if that’s an issue I will flip

civic palm
#

Yeah haha

slow mortar
#

For m+(and if it is dependent on fortified/tyrannical), do you vanish on CD for trash, or use situationally in order to have it up for bosses? I try to use once after a boss if I only used it once on the boss (if this makes sense)

bleak spoke
#

Vanish on cd roughly for trash

#

You don’t need vanish for most bosses to do very good damage

#

So you might run into bosses with like 1 min of vanish and vendetta up

#

In that case you just save vanish for second vendetta or use it on CD or on third exsang or whatever conditional

#

If you need to burn a boss like in temple or King’s in pure st try to really make cooldowns line well

slow mortar
#

Hmm gotcha, that'll give a lil boost to overall damage for me then

bleak spoke
#

Basically if the difference between a successful kill is the damage then line and save

#

If not you’ll get more time from using on cd

#

Personally I play exsang gale for assa m+ so if my vanish isn’t up on pull I use it with second gales and hold second exsang for it

#

With three SS at 412 and the shittily optimized high haste I have it seems to be an st gain but your mileage will vary

#

If I could drop my haste to 10-12% I would be more careful about playing the cooldowns but that would be much more damage

slow mortar
#

400 plumage and 405+socket razor leaf with 380 gcb/dice, also slight aversion to exsang so after some dots i tb something to doom

bleak spoke
#

If you’re playing the poison funnel with TB then vanish on cd

#

Your vanish isn’t that relevant on ST cuz you don’t need to grab empowered garrote to make exsang chunky dam

chilly obsidian
#

What conditions usually make exsang better than TB? I always sim higher with tb

bleak spoke
#

Energy starvation

#

If you can’t maintain infinite foks during a big pull cuz you’re energy negative spamming fok with 4 dots out (11% haste) exsang global means you get to cheat

#

That’s the biggest one

#

Also TB locks you to one target so in dungeons with many pulls where there’s no strong prio target

#

Exsang nor Tb nor vendetta are pressed on the pack at all

#

So think underrot freehold

#

If you run CT you put yourself behind on energy balance

#

So exsang usually makes it flow smooth

slow mortar
#

Same-ish logic for vendetta? I may use it for a big trash mob but usually have it ready for bosses

bleak spoke
#

In which case you garrote 1 garrote 2 garrote 3

#

Uh I mean

#

(I haven’t been trolling until this last bit)

#

But actually you do three garrotes ct and then pick a rupture target and that first one you exsang as the global after rupture

#

So you go from having 4 rolling dots of energy to the equivalent of 6 rolling dots for 7 seconds

#

Then you can put two more ruptures out to stabilize before having to refresh ct again

#

Then after fok spam for another 4 seconds your first rupture falls off

#

Which means if you don’t crit then the very first non exsang rupture will fall off after you do second CT

#

And then you do fok ruptures until you’ve refreshed your 4th rupture and like clockwork it’s CT time again

#

And this is like 50k+ damage no matter what stats you have

#

But the thing is you actually start to ramp after these 33-35 seconds

#

Cuz you now have the energy to spam fok CT on big packs

#

By the time your ruptures start to fall off is when your exsang cycles

#

And then you can vanish for second exsang to redo this

#

It’s strong even if your tank chain pulls because you can roll the engine so to speak for 1:30

chilly obsidian
#

Sounds fun but more brainpower required then pressing blade flurry and spamming ss:/

Yeah

was thinking wether to use toxic blade or 5cp envenom from vanish

bleak spoke
#

Envenom muti envenom and pray is one option

#

From 3+ cp vanish tox envenom muti is also valid

#

Second is more consistent but first can net you bigger damage

green vapor

alright cool, thanks 😃

first is basically how it worked in Legion, which is the one i would use but that is just because i am already familiar with that opener

A question about sim and bloodmallet, currently i see a lot of rogues running SS x3 even though double dose sims higher, is there a reason for this? is x3 double dose better or no?

Besides my opener running MA is there any change to my rotation?

pale agate
#

anyone have a sim of a decently-optimized ilvl ~410 character? just trying to get an idea of easily i could swap my gear over

royal lantern
#

sim yourself

#

dont just look and copy

spice surge
#

I mean, besides azerite and trinkets its basicly get the highest ilvl thing you have

#

Perhaps a slightly lower thing if it has a socket

pale agate
#

I simmed myself earlier on dungeon slice, best I could squeeze out was about 28k. my outlaw set is ~33k, I feel like I'm missing something simple that could help close the gap a bit more

royal lantern
#

outlaw pulls bigger overall dps most of the time in m+ right now and your outlaw gear is better, idk wath you expect

#

get a better offhand weapon and 415 azerite

pale agate
#

guess there's no magic trick to it eh 😦

royal lantern
#

you should probably not try too get more raw aoe dps then with outlaw, and focus more on the TTK priority dmg build

#

cus if you sacrifice so much singletarget stuff too do aoe burst that is close too outlaw....you could just play outlaw anyway

pale agate
#

that's a great point.

#

sorry for the questions. checked slack history and ravenholdt, so as far as I can gather the TTK build is 3xTTK and run TB? would the remaining traits just be 1xSS 1xEB and 1 anything?

#

err discord history not slack

grave elk
#

what is ttk

pale agate
#

twist the knife

grave elk
#

gotcha

#

finally got a good dd ish set running for master assassin for raid. and i just got outlaw to outsim my sin for m+ aoe. so i can now just swap instead of having to trait swap gear back and forth which was just ridiculous in cost

warm harbor
#

@pale agate running 2 EB is probably is definitely preferable, is stacks extremely well and with reaping you want to be maximum your AoE potiental even on tyran weeks

pale agate
#

thanks, that makes sense

stable pine
#

Show me your 27k ST sim. Go!

calm depot
#

This might be a little vague, but what are you folks tips for improving? I'm decently new to rogue and my parses are fairly low, but looking at sites like wowanalyzer there are no red flags. What sort of tools/techniques would you guys recommend for diagnosing where my biggest issues are?

golden relic
#

look at a good log and go through it thoroughly and compare to your own

#

opener, Cd useage , energy pooling

#

stuff like that

#

watch ppl play rogue

#

on streams

spice surge
#

bleed uptimes and cooldown usage are probably the biggest ones

golden relic
#

if they have that like rotation addon that shows spells for viewers

#

can look at that during certain periods of fights

#

get an idea whats good to do

calm depot
#

In terms of energy pooling, is the goal primary to maximize actions within elaborate planning and toxic blade?

golden relic
#

u wanna pool for toxic blade so u can get like 2 envenoms within the time yes, or atleast 1 during a non period of CDs

#

if u have CDs u can prob get 3

warm harbor
#

you got any logs to link @calm depot , would be happy to have a quick look through one

calm depot
#

none that i feel great about, but sure, let me find one real quick

warm harbor
#

linking the one that you did worst in when you're not sure why would be best, will be easiest to find the mistakes

calm depot
spice surge
#

What? You dont have to stand still with the orb?

calm depot
#

it was lining up with the fear timing (not sure if thats by design or just our dps rate)

golden relic
#

your sad sun profile pic makes me sad

calm depot
#

oh no

spice surge
#

I still dont understand what you mean, you can move after you've picked up the orb

calm depot
#

yeah the person using it was casting it during the fear, so unless they had someone with them theyd get feared

#

i agree that it doesnt sound like the best plan but thats what people wanted to do so i kinda just went with it

spice surge
#

Why couldnt the guy with the orb just stand in the regular group? šŸ¤”

calm depot
#

i think they wanted to pop it as soon as they picked it up, its something we'll likely fix on more clears, but this was our first week on heroic, so there are some weird choices

spice surge
#

But in general, your bleed uptimes are rather low, it should be 98%+ on both, you're around 90%

#

Also not using any potion will obviously result in a lot lower damage

warm harbor
#

@calm depot could early issues, you need more a lot more haste (200-300 min), you've got to switch some vers out at as vers is quite low weighting for sin, your traits are also limiting, scent of blood isnt terrible but is quite bad, you've only got around 90% uptime for bleeds on grong should be aiming for ~100%

torn shore
#

worth pooling for TB, but is it worth pooling to maximize uptime on EP? or just ignore EP as a passive?

warm harbor
#

consider switch scent out for either NP or DD

stable pine
#

Wait no 27k ST sim? Come on...

spice surge
#

Also, you should be using vanish together with vendetta

#

After the opener

calm depot
#

so reset garrote early within vendetta?

#

@warm harbor thanks for all these, ill work towards fixing the gear issues and aim for higher bleed timing. what did you mean by 'could early issues'

spice surge
#

You use vanish garrotes before vendetta, otherwise you wont have it up for the entire vendetta

warm harbor
#

@calm depot on your second vendetta you dont toxic blade until the end, meaning that all that NP damage wasnt buffed

#

and was a typo class hahah sorry

calm depot
#

whaddya mean by NP?

warm harbor
#

also make sure you hold that second vendetta an extra 20 seconds or so to vanish/garrote than vendetta

#

Nothing Personal

torn shore
#

anyone fancy answering my nice quick question? šŸ˜›

calm depot
#

okay so save vendettas so they line up with vanish?

spice surge
#

Yes, you should also probably sim yourself, looks like you could pick better traits on your azerites

#

Doubt that twist is higher than another NP

warm harbor
#

yeah some other mistakes are, so for your vanish at 20 seconds you garrote straight after to proc Subterfuge, but then 5 seconds later you press garrote again completed losing out on that empowered garrote dmg

calm depot
#

okay so there i think what i was trying to do was get a second one in within the subterfuge window and might have missed it?

warm harbor
#

you only have 3 seconds

#

you took around 5/6

#

the same with your second vanish

spice surge
#

But yeah, just using a potion (even if its prolonged because the regular ones are too expensive) will increase your damage by a pretty good amount

#

Thats like the easiest way to gain a lot of damage

calm depot
#

i mighta just done a really bad job on the first one matthew, generally im trying to do two garrotes in the sub window because the opener has it, is this right to do?

warm harbor
#

yep just do a double garrote straight away

calm depot
#

even if i overcap on energy?

warm harbor
#

this will increase the length of the dot by around 30%

calm depot
#

Eleem, yeah I get that, i wasnt potting mostly because we were 1-2 shotting a lot of these bosses. I figured that with where my parses are at even with pots I'm missing something significant

#

so for sub window, aim to enter with combo, then just double garrote?

#

with 0 combo**

warm harbor
#

yeah 0 or 1 combo is fine

spice surge
#

Doesnt matter, you can just go garrote>finisher>garrote

#

If you dont have 0 cp

calm depot
#

ok sounds good

#

i appreciate the help on this

warm harbor
#

so other than stats and gear the major issues I'd say or, dot uptime time, syncing your post-opener vendettas with vanish and toxic blades, and making sure you dont miss the sub window on your vanishes

calm depot
#

ha, other than everything 😃

warm harbor
#

you'll be right hahah

calm depot
#

that atleast gives me bullet points to aim for, thanks

stable pine
#

If you’re stacking NP do you TB before Vend?

heavy skiff
#

i think no

#

but idk

warm harbor
#

you should be TB in your NP/vend window yeah

ionic arrow
#

I just switched from outlaw to assa and I have a problem with "subterfuge".
In my stealth bar I have sap on 1, while on the normal bar mutilate. So subterfuge doesnt let me mutilate for 3 secounds.
Normally I need the 3 secounds for garrote, but especially in single target I miss some attacks then.
Do I have to rebind my abilitys, or is there a kind of bind, that makes my mutilate useable in subterfuge.
I would like to keep my main builder on 1 šŸ˜„

warm harbor
#

dont have a stealth bar

torn shore
#

anybody? worth pooling for elaborate planning? or just ignore as a passive?

calm depot
#

in terms of simming is the raidbots patchwerk profile a reasonable way to sim for this raid tier? is there a better/more accepted way to do it

ionic arrow
#

and where do you bind sap? @warm harbor

warm harbor
#

just have it on bars as per any other ability

#

@calm depot its general reliable for most fights for sin

lusty hamlet
#

My elvui profile doesn’t use the stealth bar for subterfuge

#

It switches as soon as I drop out of stealth

ionic arrow

okay I also use Elvui, maybe my loaded profil doesnt do this, I should use some default maybe šŸ˜„

torn shore
#

???

ionic arrow
#

My stealthbar stays in subterfuge

tame granite
#

is it just me or does assassin really drop off at around 30 seconds in

#

i can burst upto 35-40k then drop to 16k

civic palm
#

Well considering your damage buffs are gone after 30 seconds...

#

it's normal.

fleet whale
#

Assassination has very high opener damage as well

#

maintaining envenom/EP will help alleviate some of it though

desert vault

When running 3x EB do you need hidden blades well for it be ideal or pb still ok?

rigid mango
#

@desert vault Hidden Blades is definetly not a need, I personally run PB all the time, especially on tyr weeks. CT is only really ok on teeming weeks imo.

grave elk
#

for master assassin. when vanish comes back up for 2nd time. is it just vendetta vanish tb muti envenom?

warm harbor
#

@grave elk its currently up for debate which one is better, whether or not you tb before or after vanish

#

personally i would tb->vanish->env->mut->env

opal mesa
#

Always do that. And pool before.

#

I have that trinket off mechatork too so I pop that + tb + vanish then env mut env mut env mut

rustic ether
#

idk how anyone thinks tb after vanish is better than having double envenom

warm harbor
#

just how the sims work out or something

#

someone recently mentioned it in the tc-research channel aswell i think

sturdy python
#

You still get the envenom inside TB and MA window

grave elk
#

so is opener still vendetta vanish tb ?

#

after the garrote muti rupture of course

#

@warm harbor

sturdy python
#

No, check guide for openers

grave elk
#

i did

#

its garrote muti rupture. vend vanish tb

warm harbor
#

i think it would be better to after the garrote muti rupture to muti ven tb van env muti env

#

if you do it the way you say you wont get 2 env's in the MA window

grave elk
#

ok im just following the guide

#

thats what ive been doin

sturdy python
#

Ah the wowhead guide is a bit different than the RH one I see

grave elk
#

oh yeah i have only looked at RH

warm harbor
#

even so @grave elk go to a training dummy and test this stuff out

quick ice
#

To be fair, you won't always get those 2 Env in the MA window because it's not 100% crit. Sometimes it's Env mut mut

warm harbor
#

yeah thats very true, so doing the tb after vanish will give you more consistant dmg

prisma crescent
#

Anyone having actual success with MA in raid? I feel like I'm gambling with my dps

#

If that env doesn't crit it feels so bad

warm harbor
#

been using for m mekka prog, quite happy with it

river zinc
#

what traits do you guys aim for in M+?

prisma crescent
#

3xSS 3xEB

warm harbor
#

couple builds atm grom

#

3x TTK, 1x SS and 2x EB is also going around

#

like a psuedo sub rogue

river zinc
#

I would like a build that is good on Tyrannical and reaping basically.

Twist the knife is being used that much?

prisma crescent
#

Tbh though, i don't run Assass in M+

#

@river zinc You can't really build for ST and AoE

river zinc
#

ugh

#

thats no fun

prisma crescent
#

You could try 3xDD 3xSS

#

I've been wanting to try that myself tbh

#

Can you even get 3xDD 3xSS?

#

idk

warm harbor
#

that would be kinda of problemic when choosing between tb and exsng

#

cause if you are going for prior dmg then tb w/ double dose would work but then you have 3x SS's than could be exsanged which arent going to be

#

no real point taking the extra SS's compare to EB

#

not your mention the extreme drop-off in dmg in reaping's and large pulls

lost sentinel
#

I don't think DD really makes TB that much more appealing, if really at all

prisma crescent
#

I feel like if you are going to run assass in M+ it would be KR/ToS so not a lot of value to be gotten from EB

#

Otherwise I'd just go Outlaw

#

Trait system makes it hard to play around with multiple builds which is a shame

primal gazelle
warm harbor
#

@prisma crescent yeah that makes sense, not sure if having that third SS trait would be worth it over EB still. but yeah the reforge system sucks, just make it free like talents

nimble tartan
#

mmm

rancid spade
#

is Sapphire of Brilliance better than the agi pot in any scenario??

warm harbor
#

overall its more useful, you have to think about how you can line up its second use with lust and cooldowns though, since it has a 5 minute CD, im not sure if you can use it on pull and then just agi pot whenever, but yaeh 400 all stats is better than 900 agility, especially sicne haste is weighted so high for us

spare flame
#

Can anyone confirm whether its possible to cloak and soak all 5 frogs on Rastakhan? Ive heard its possible but i havent seen it done

stable pine
#

@spare flame yes it is

spare flame
#

So you only get the initial 5 puddles and nothing more?

stable pine
#

What do you mean?

rustic ether
#

the umping frogs

spare flame
#

When frogs goes off, the 5 pools spawn with frogs. Im assuming you sprint/cloak and blast through all 5 but does that stop them from jumping and leaving additional pools?

rustic ether
#

it does stop them form moving

#

however its very hard to get all 5

stable pine
#

@Wolfie yes that’s correct

spare flame
#

but even in an ideal situation the original 5 pools remain

#

?

rustic ether
#

yes

#

they still SPAWN with 5 pools

spare flame
#

correct, ok

stable pine
#

The initial 5 pools will always be there

spare flame
#

Thanks for the info. Seems strong

rustic ether
#

kinda?

spare flame
#

My raid team likes to stand in things

rustic ether
#

your group shouldnt be putting that inot your strat is what im trying to say

spare flame
#

shouldn't be putting that not?

rustic ether
#

into :/

#

if your group is getting hit by avoidable dmg, tell them to get their shit together

#

you shouldnt be using cloak for that kinda thing when you could be using cloak for emergencies

mint peak
#

The only other thing worth cloaking on Rasta is the leap which you get 1 of at the beginning of the fight

#

By the time you need it for the hectic part it’ll have been long off CD if you used it early

hybrid granite
#

What makes assassination so strong in pvp compared to the other two specs that it is the represented class in arena

#

Most* and I mean represented above 1800 according to the website

sturdy python
#

Damage, wound poison

#

Smoke bomb

strange python
#

wat? is that a question? being highly represented doesn't make it a strong spec... it is highly represented BECAUSE it is a strong spec. for sin this is many reasons including garrote silences, being able to drop combat while still having dots on your enemies, etc

sturdy python
#

I mean he said its represented because its strong...

hybrid granite
#

I didnt say being highly represented made it a strong spec, I was asking what did lol

strange python
#

okay yea it wasn't phrased like a question and there was no question mark... that's why i asked what you meant lol

#

btw if that name is a reference to Sheldon's rogue from TBBT good for you! 😃

hybrid granite
#

It is a reference to TBBT!

supple hearth
#

Sub is in the worst place it's ever been

#

Is the main reason

strange python
#

well not to get off topic about other specs, but sub is actually still great at short-window burst... the problem is that raid bosses require more endurance dps and in pvp it's too easy for smart players to counter burst windows

#

I agree though... haven't had fun playing sub since HFC in Warlords 😦

proven wasp
#

For m+, is it better to use haste or crit ring enchants?

stable pine
#

Crit

willow pulsar
#

Depends how much haste do you have, but crit is the best for m+

rustic ether
#

@proven wasp for sin in m+ having the 3EB 3SS build, youll want really high crit, at least 26% or more, with minimal haste

#

if you're building with TTK youll porbably be focusing on ST so youll want maybe a tidbit more haste

winter gale
#

Is invocaton 415 good trinket for reaping?

#

Or should I stick to galecaller?

doesn't scale all that well with extra targets, tbh

if your group blows them up you don't have time to start blasting

night vale
#

Not necessarily true, with 3xEB I do average 80k damage to reaping waves

#

Fok + EB is like 60% of my damage on reaping

rustic ether
#

in order to be correctly "blasting" though, youll need to put up your three garrotes, and a rupture or two to be able to spam out 3 fok in your EP windows

night vale
#

Yeah ofc... tbh I triple garotte then usually have to put out 3 low cp ruptures so I can spam fok every gcd

if you have a dh and stuff you don't have time to do that in like a 10

#

just get some foks off

15+ different

some cases sure

Anyone really struggling to put up good numbers in bod playing ass or is it just me?

solid nova

Post logs and we can see šŸ˜‰

fiery eagle
#

Haven't raided ass for a few weeks been going combat

solid nova
#

Considering how well both those specs perform in general, unless there's something we can look at it's a blobshrug

rustic ether
#

yeah 15 and up the reaping mobs actually start having hp so that sin can help do dmg again lol

#

i think thats the main reason everyone is on the outlaw hype train

prisma crescent
#

Outlaw is meta regardless of level above 10

rustic ether
#

yeah im not saying it isnt

#

its just that class like sin and aff and spriests arent good in content where the mobs have 10 hp

real bay
#

how common is it for outlaw to run out of BF charges , I mean the guy I did some 15-17s with did few times , ripped dps right there

balmy condor
#

their talent helps with it

#

but they have pretty high uptime

rustic ether
#

if theyre smart they only run out of charges at the end of the pull

real bay
#

ok

spice surge
#

Depends on how you define "meta". There are more assa rogues than outlaw unless you look at 20+, and even then its still like 60/40

prisma crescent
#

Who's playing assass at 20+? I still use assassination in ToS/KR but anything else I'm using outlaw

spice surge
#

Morningwind is the one with the highest keys done

round harbor
#

Morning, seli

spice surge
#

But not many people have tried assa with 3x twist

rustic ether
#

i still play sin because outlaw makes me suicidal šŸ˜„

spice surge
#

A lot still believe SS is the way to go

round harbor
#

It's very very very good

spice surge
#

Yeah, killing the big reaping souls at the same time as the small ones is šŸ‘Œ

prisma crescent
#

Tbh, I'd love to see how assa is played in M+, I'll check out seli/wind

bronze kelp
#

jep, two awesome assa players

#

they made me switch back to assa again, also to focus more on prio target/boss dmg.

#

if you got DH and frost mage, you dont need a third big aoe burster in most cases

prisma crescent
#

Looks like 3xTTT for Tyran and 3xEB or SS for fort...guess its worth a shot

bronze kelp
#

also for fort TTK is nice, especially if you got prio targets

#

problem on some dungeons is, that the trash is dying to fast cause of other classes aoe burst

spice surge
#

Its more like, you go 1ss and then fill the rest 5 slots with twist+eb

#

If you want more aoe go 3 eb, otherwise go 3 twist

bronze kelp
#

ill test 3eb 2ttk 1ss next id

rustic ether
#

this coming week tho youll prolly want eb ss

bronze kelp
#

as its fort SS maybe loses value due to longer living trash. need to sim that

#

and also you maybe want to let some big mobs die faster šŸ˜‰

spice surge
#

Fortified makes twist more valueable and ss less

#

Not the opposite

bronze kelp
#

thats what i said, didnt i?

spice surge
#

Yes

polar tapir
#

someone else said 3xss, 3eb for fort tho 😃

real bay
bronze kelp
#

you still can play that, its not bad, but maybe not the most effective

#

3eb 3ss does a lot of dmg

real bay
#

Better off taking blightborne or something instead of a SS

bronze kelp
#

but remember, after your empowered ss falls of the trait loses value

polar tapir
#

unless you have vanish obv

#

and want to use it 😃

bronze kelp
#

if you got maybe got swirling sands trait, thats also good 😃

prisma crescent
#

Anyone else feel like SS isn't scaling as well as our class is? Seems like SS is getting more and more outclassed as we get more gear

bronze kelp
#

sure u use vanish, but you dont always got vanish rdy

#

SS is still a top dmg source

prisma crescent
#

Sure but i feel like that gap is shrinking

real bay
#

sure but you don't need 3x

#

1 is enough imo if you have good alternatives

bronze kelp
#

im running 1 or 2 SS atm depending on dungeons and affixes

#

2 SS cause im lacking of a good m+/st aleternativ

spice surge
#

Well, if you're talking ST

#

SS hasnt been the best since it was nerfed

bronze kelp
#

m+ st šŸ˜‰

#

not raid st

spice surge
#

Even m+ st

#

Its just that people didnt have any azerite options in uldir so everybody played SS because it was available

#

and array made exsang better too

bronze kelp
#

hm... oh well

#

i guess i got a better option ^^ just had that TTK /swirling sands piece on my assa gear 😃

tepid socket
#

Well imo ss/subterfuge isnt as good in higher keys, since you'll chain pull alot. Same with triggering reaping midpack.

bronze kelp
#

so i got 2ttk 2eb 1ss 1swirling

real bay
#

gief 2x EB 2x TTK 1x SS 1x Blightborne

tepid socket
#

Thats one of the reaspns why i started play outlaq

bronze kelp
#

dont like the playstyle

#

yes it does a lot of aoe dmg

#

but im got DH and frost mage in my group

#

and assa still does good aoe

stone crescent
#

What do you guys think of the Bile-Stained Crawg Tusks (The statless proc fist weapon from underrot) for outlaw? Heard it was a bis offhand for demon hunter, but not sure how it is for outlaw

tepid socket
#

Pretty good for ST but not aoe. Since it doesnt proc with BF

polar tapir
#

maybe ask that in the outlaw spec discussion 😃

bronze kelp
#

hope ill get cephalohide jacket on wednesday

#

able to roll again for 415 😃

feral shore
#

been hearing a lot here about some sort of TTK build, where can i learn more? I always thought it was mediocre at best

#

TTK is amazing priority target damage @feral shore

feral shore
#

Legion Sublety style priority target damage? Aka spam FoK and Envenom priority target? Like if I wanted single target, why wouln't I just take DD

bronze kelp
#

cause you want aoe+st dmg

#

you are not a big help for doing dmg to exactly one mob

#

an DD is meaningless on aoe

#

and with EB traits you do good aoe as well + the nice prio target dmg

quick ice
#

yes sub style priority target

bronze kelp
#

not that hard powerfull, but pretty good

stone crescent
#

oops, sorry!

feral shore
#

Oh, I see. I feel like I spend more time dotting up targets than doing priority damage, but that's 'cause I generally do low keys (12 max). I'll look into it though, thanks!

bronze kelp
#

you normally only rupture 4 targets for energy reg, then start to envenom

#
  • EB and TTK profit from crit rating
#

but one SS is not bad, cause of triple silence for 6 secs

exotic widget
#

DO you guys trust raidbots or bloodmallet+herodamage ? showing differently

bronze kelp
#

always sim yourself

#

bloodmallet and herodamage sim with other gear than yours

quick ice
#

raidbots is for precise, HD/BM give rough idea

bronze kelp
#

yep thats the point

exotic widget
#

ait cool ty

#

i feel running without 1 ss is meh

feral shore
#

So no point in refreshing garrote, only go for ruptures for energy regen? Like for raids I'm currently running 3Ɨ DD, NP+SS+TC, and those are 400 + 2 415's, but if i wanted to go EB, I have to run two 385's, which sucks, might as well look for some TTK's in there

#

Like, the fact that I have to run so low azerites and I can't another 400 dagger for shit kinda tilts me to run outlaw on fortified weeks

exotic widget
#

Dead-Eye spyglass loses value on target switching right? whats the ramp up time?

bronze kelp
#

u dont refresh garrote

spice surge
#

No hardy

#

Thats not how the trinket works

bronze kelp
#

nope, dead-eye is fine

spice surge
#

You dont have to auto attack the target, any damage source will trigger it

bronze kelp
#

it only uses value if it procs on a low life mob which dies before the proc runs out or is fully stacked

spice surge
#

So fok/bleeds will both trigger it

exotic widget
#

i got 400 dice and 405 + socket dead-eye spyglass. the spyglass is simming a little higher

bronze kelp
#

and what is your other trinket ?

exotic widget
#

415 lumstrous

bronze kelp
#

im running dice + spygalss atm

#

hm..

#

crit is more worth when running EB or TTK

#

@feral shore you just garrote 3 targets out of stealth and start rupturing

#

if targets die very fast, dont rupture it

#

or at least not all of them

real bay
#

can snipe low hp mobs for energy

#

shouldn't need to that often

feral shore
#

Yeah, still need at least some for energy regen, got that. Given all this, haste kinda loses its value, right? Since I'll do way more damage via envenom+fok spam than to rely on bleeds. Same goes for mastery. And since Fahwi already mentioned that crit is more worth it, I might consider regemming and stuff - only got 24% crit right now

#

As for HB vs PB, this choice depends on the count of EB traits and crit chance?

bronze kelp
#

24% crit is sure a bit low, should be around 30% or higher

#

im playing PB only cause of the ST component

#

CT has zero value on bosses

#

and PB does good dmg. CT is well for giga pulls on fort, but for tyra i would prefer PB over CT.

#
  • as you play TB with TTK, PB gains also from the TB debuff
feral shore
#

Good point. I was just considering HB 'cause of the RNG of PB. It's not as bad as in legion, but I feel like it's still significant and doesn't proc as one would like it to proc

shy axle
#

why suddenly TTK in the mix? At the start of the season everyone talked about 3 Eb/3SS - whats the pro of using TTK ?

quick ice
#

priority damage

lament dove
#

with 2+ EB, HB will do more dmg on ST than PB

spice surge
#

No

lament dove
#

it does for me

spice surge
#

In my gear setup HB sims 1% behind, and since its bosses we're talking about then it works to sim

#

And that also assumes you go into the fight with full stacks, which you wont most of the time

shy axle
#

on St you do always tough. Wait for full stacks, use fok

spice surge
#

Yes

#

But you will not have 20 stacks when you pull the boss

#

Because you cleared trash

shy axle
#

and you won`t have a PB procc everytime you pull boss

#

then do it later

sullen pagoda
#

Nah gonna ask for trash fat 1% šŸ˜‚

#

Afk*

shy axle
#

no offense man but in general such big amount of nitpickery on such little things here, the essence of the question gets ignored for the sake of "being rigth"

lament dove
#

you sometimes forget to press FoK during a bossfight though^^

spice surge
#

Well, a lot of people here seem to spread missinformation, and if the goal is to help players get better then providing the right info is important

#

Atleast to me

bronze kelp
#

should be

#

HB also sims worse for me when playing with TTK + TB + PB

sullen pagoda
#

Also hb isn't practical, it's crap talent to play around

lament dove
#

all I'm saying is that if you have 2+ EB it's just a switch of a talent, you can try it out and see for yourself

#

ofc it's not the same for everyone, it depends on your gear, team, instance etc.

strange python
#

I have 2xEB and I have tried HB just becouse... why not. And the value you get out when pulling very fast is close to zero. I could not find any value at all with it. Personal experience ofc but I did not see any good use of it. To be added we do some high keys were I only get like a millisec to restelth between pulls so I never went in to a pack (after AoE) with more than around 1-3 stacks. =1 proc of PB did way more damage

wild kindle
#

is there any comparison betewen outlaw and assa? how much behind is assa ?

night vale
#

I mean it’s fairly close in terms of overall dps in high keys... obviously outlaw does more damage in the vast majority of keys... in my own personal testing, freehold is like 33k dps as outlaw and 30k as assassination

#

Most keys it seems about 10% ahead for me

#

That’s just my personal view though

spice surge
#

Yeah seems about right

#

But its worth noting that a lot of that damage is "sniped" by doing damage to low hp targets very fast (such as the risen souls). Outlaw will do higher overall but what matters is the speed of the key, not your overall dps

bleak spoke
#

man, i just tried to play a key with no EBs for poison funnel and it was fkn disaster

spice surge
#

Well why wouldnt you play eb?

bleak spoke
#

cuz was talking to ashine about the build and he said if you followed the logic all the way down why wouldn't you just not play any EB at all so you don't kill the mobs you're generating cp from

#

and since my key was a siege thought i'd give it a try

strange python
#

I did a SoB last week and priodamage the big mobs such as Commander in every pack

#

Every single pack died at the same time. It was super smooth. It is worth more than overall

bleak spoke
#

i'm pretty sure it was the first time i've lost to a DH in overall in weeks and the key depleted too

#

though there were some... misunderstandings with the spotter

wild kindle
#

i mean topping meters is usually about killing something faster before others do so u can grab the free aoe chunk for yourself

steep obsidian
#

the pack only dies as quickly as the highest hb mob

#

that is the strength of the build if you want reliable mass cleave of course ol is gonna be better

spice surge
#

Not necessarily true, you can pull mobs that are still alive with the next pack in a lot of cases

#

But yeah

steep obsidian
#

its a bit weird that it took the niche that sub had and yeah that too i guess

#

i havent really tried ttk build myself though hope hey don't nerf it

#

be just like blizz for them to do it

spice surge
#

Sub still does more prio damage by a fair margin

#

Its just that assa can do decent aoe and st with the same setup

On Opu M can we Evasion/cloak the shower?
