like saving ur energy that u only get 1cp for evenom
weakauras? Cool thank you very much. I’m just now trying to get into raiding and I’ve been screaming internally the entire time
Try to express what you want with cp
I think he means is there any situation where using one mutilate and instantly envenom (with 2cp) is worth
The only thing with wakauras is that you will have to import a profile to get it to work for you

It is never worth to finish under 4 cp
And with pandemic there is no chance rupture falls off without heavy mechanic duty
why ? dont u wanna keep elobarate up ?
You dont have to be a slave to elaborate uptime.
not at the cost of finishers
you shouldn't play around EP
lolwhat
so you wanna allways have 4-5 cps for enevom ?
You want to do more in your EP window rather than simply have good EP uptime. What does it matter if your EP uptime is high if you're not even Mutilating during it?
You pool energy before tb window and that auto makes eb and cp gen smooth
playing well automatically get a you good EP uptime
yeah but not staring at it blindly
guys atal dazar trinket is good ?
you dont after a while
Only when tb is up, you run out of steam very quickly finishing every 4.9 secs
If you Envenom at 0.1s left in EP but you're at 35 energy, you will do nothing for the majority of your EP buff. So you should just pool letting EP drop, then when you get a new EP and envenom buff you will be pumping Mutilates into it and with good crits will be able to finish again in your EP window with high energy
Doesn't make sense to just use a finisher at low energy just because EP is about to drop off
Also dd procs inside ep
Yeah especially if you play double dose traits but even otherwise it’s stronger to play around envenom windows than ep
Sucks that ep and env buff are different secs
It’s being able to play around both and optimize that separates really good play from perfect play kinda
Why can't ep be 1 sec + 1 sec per cp
6 seconds is a long time
You basically would ignore ep in that case
Cuz at the bottom of envenom window you just play to clip envenom and you never actually mutilate without both by default
Would make it about as interesting as mp
Mp assa in legion antorus
I didn’t play legion 
I hear we had an execute and 100% on ma
Must have been a good time
Yes, bracers and shoulders
Pretty good trick huh? @gusty kestrel
It was like ma assa now but with more pb proc hopes
so i allways wanna have 4-5 cps for enevom/rupture and i still get good uptime on EP ? what about low energy do i still continue with 4-5 cps ?
Also kingsbane
You should hard spend in Tb windows
whats tb ?
Toxic Blade
riight
My idea on how to play out of Tb windows is you pool to like 110 or so and then you want to end your final ep env buff window with mutilates and sit to pool for next Tb
Cuz then you don’t waste dd proc chances or damage on mutilate repoisons at all
Jeez
How do i sim for jaina mythic execute phase? 2 min sim assumes i start stealthed
you should try using MA too
What traits are you playing kamui
Also can you remove the stealth conditional at the start maybe
Like just cut it out of the sim
Somebody halppp @vestal wren
@cosmic pier 3 EB?
I wanna try it but like
Wait are you playing 3 echoes for jaina
Outlaw pumps too hard to give up lmao
2x DD 1 NP 1 Blightborne 1 TTK 1 SS playing subterfuge..couldnt get mekka chest and am thinking of going MA with grong chest with DD SOB instead of TTK+SS cus it sims 1% better on 5 min sim
Hmm I think you don’t actually get much of the value of subterfuge on jaina execute cuz you’re not gonna garrote ice blocks that’s ridiculous right
When does vanish come up
Vs vendetta
I mean, it does good burst for the garrote
Like how do you play wall and elemental
Then don’t you start vanish
In which case so do you play one Tb window before vendetta
I think you have to
Like garrote muti rupture muti tb without bend
Uh
Vend
Then you actually get value out of vanish
Idk
Might as well just play ma
In that case lol
Cuz if you end execute at like 2:20 or 2:30 in real time that last vendetta could be the kill
Or not
Depending on how spicy it gets
The phase is like 90 secs long max
In that case it’s probably a toss up
How much exsang gear do you have if you end on third exsang that’s actually probably more damage :^)
Not even actually trolling right now
Like rupturing blocks for giga uptime on ep and to funnel envenoms
I could equip 3xSS
But what blocks?
I think when ppl ice block its wipe
Fair
@cosmic pier embrace the memes 😄
Yeh in that case I don’t think you want to play exsang cuz without rupture refreshes for energy resets you’re going to end up worse off
People who arnt on mythic jaina prog talking bout mythic jaina prog if u get ice blocked its a wipe xD
i mean, im dumb, why does it not stack cps before then TB vanish envenom, or vanish tb envenom
Hey man I’m just trying to help
i thought that was the standard thing
To be fair demo pet does about as much damage as a melee dps
Can see how the confusion happened
:^)
So I can do that advanced sim in top gear option?
It kinda depends when and where you get blocked, a single block can be a wipe but sometimes you can keep going
whats exactly the purpose of opening without stealth?
He just wanted to see what it would do given a fresh target I think
i wanted to sim my best gear/talent choices for jaina execute
Blindside BABY 
Same as a non execute fight except gut ripper is now best
Not actually serious. Dont do it
Well thats something. Last time i simmed it. For ghuun. It was literally a dps loss in execute to use blindside over no talent...
i think its still the case if you have 3 DD
Weird maybe I did it wrong? Maybe I'll redo it for jaina, 2 target <28%
Cant wait to start jaina prog. Should have stormwall down next raid night. Then the fun begins
do i also need to delete a line for lust?
does it matter where i add it?
Uh don't think so, I put it near top
If Jaina didn't take dmg during lust, sub would pipe p3
No lust short fight 2nd target for fok between dances 
but then you have to play sub all the other phases too
😄
actually would probably not even matter since we need dps stops in p1 and p2
another question, can i change my race from NE to troll? 😄
hm, the MA profile already sims higher. since SS benefits from being NE, the MA build without SS should surely be better, right?
its not like assa during that downtime does giga damage with dots
its like 200k if you plan your rupture/garrote
what downtime?
when jaina ports away
she still takes damage
so you wanna reapply your dots to max pandemic to do as much damage on her
are you comparing assa to sub?
not really comparing assa to sub just in general specs on jaina are really close
all 3 of them
i mean, i kinda have to play assa anyway since i dont have an adequate weapon for outlaw and i have high haste/mast and low crit/vers
ye thats fair
to play w/e you have best gear for
and most people geared around playing assa right
coz it was safe bet
but even outlaw is very competetive on jaina, can say that from my experience
but isnt it a bit lower on the ST burst?
it is
but thing is
in a window where outlaw gets 3 cds
assa gets 1 cds
and its during wall + p3
- cleave is really beneficial for outlaw because you wanna play wits
you get a lot of cleave value on jaina
you get big combo point influx allowing you to get rolls easier
and you can pre plan your rolls for wall aswell
you mean the elemental cleave?
ye elemental
ordinances
potential iceblocks
becuase people might get frozen
its just nice for you right
even balistas in p1
the additional combo poitns influx from extra ss procs/deadshot procs you get from wits
allow you for more rerolls
balistas / ordinances are almost never in boss range tho
at least in our raid
you'd be suprised
in shrine on 1st boss
you can cleave 2 adds
with wits
with bflurry*
even though it doesnt look like it
because they're so far apart
you can find a spot where you cleave them both
nice 😄
so ye even though it might look
you might be able to
like if you get a 'lucky p1' without a 5 buff
@cosmic pier i wonder how it feels to be that mage/ww and be 10k less dps under somebody lmao
but with decent spawns of balistas
you do pretty decent
think if you could be able to use cds on wall
nah they're alts, carrying them
interested to see how it goes with my main group tomorrow night, usuallyget spanked by our spriest
i was thinking of using SS vanish garrote on jaina and wall, but it probably doesnt even make that big of a difference when timed perfectly
y thats worth
i'm pretty sure it is
because you can get 2x pandemic garrotes
on both jaina and wall
and tahts probably most you can get out of vanish aswell in that fight at this point
you could also use vanish on jaina with vendetta, potion and troll racial
@cosmic pier are you going with SS as well, or do you use TTK?
I guess SS since I don't see envenom^^
@dry thicket ofc its hard to measure right coz its very specific
but i think its most overall damage you could get out of vanish
but if you strictly lack pure p3 damage then y holding is smarter becuase its for sure more boss damage
tough call idk
Yes
You could probably run that setup any week and be fine
@lethal heart anyone gonna stream your prog? I wanna see the subtlety in action xd
You have to change specs on different bosses to get a chance to at weapon right
Right click your portrait set loot spec
Nah I know
Seems dumb for rogues tho
Should just give me both 1 handers and dagger no matter what spec
Not really cuz it makes other stuff more likely if you don’t have the option to get a weapon you don’t want
I guess
And druids probably
feral is not bad tbh
Feral seems okay now
its more an issue that you dont want melees in the raid
And feral’s the last melee you’d want yeh
Id take a feral over a sub rogue
Do 1 handers and daggers drop as sub?
Is there a macro when you are like in stealth you have on keybind 'F' Cheap shot, and when you get out of stealth, it chagnes into kidney shot?
Same one as the shadowstrike backstab macro
Wack. Ok ty
you can just use stance:0 as modifier
I am terrible with macro's , so I have no clue how to make those. I am totally new to rogue ( main warlock dont use a macro) 😛
You should for pet attack 
i use it on the same hotkey, which is on the bar which changes if i'm in/out of stealth
/cast [modifier] spell; spell2
@bleak spoke My pet never listen to me anyways...
Yeh I have ambush and sinister on that as well
Well it would if you had a pet attack macro
Xd
@edgy pawn I am using elvui 😛
me too
Not planning to pvp anyways xD
(out of combat = sap, in combat = kidney)
Thats an odd macro
@lament dove sorry i was in a key, 3 eb 2 ss 1 ttk
Yeh was gonna say that’s a bit strange to me
i think i used combat as modifier
the ttk could be a third ss but i think its overkill
but could be stance too
Hello guys, I've got 2 questions and I need answer from people that are 100% sure about it. So, my first one is for whoever plays with TB. It happens to me that during a fight if I have a total of 12-14 TB casts like 4-5 or 6 I have to redot in pandemic while in TB. How can I avoid that? How do you avoid that? Do you focus on redot in pandemic or not really? Also, the talent elaborate planning, besides on opener with cds or blood lust/TW where you need to pull of energy to not cap, do you always try to optimize the usage of it by just trying to use a finisher to synq with elaborate planning (when possible) or not really?
@vestal wren what if you want to open with a mfd kidney shot from stealth? 😛
Short answers. Use TB on cooldown regardless. And Dont worry about EP. Long answers its the smallest gain in dps to optimize those two things so if u care. Im sure theres a bunch of people here that are gonna talk to u about pooling
All you can do is try to plan ahead for tb usage. There will be times where that doesnt happen and dots need to be reapplied. Reapply them even if this means only getting 1 env in your tb window. Tb on cd is more important over the course of the fight. As for eb, you want 100% ep uptime in vend when you have the energy to do so but your goal shouldnt be maintaining ep.
So basically same same as crit said :p
Eh, I need to look elsewhere then, I keep not being able to get orange parses for w.e. reasons I think I fix but I guess I don't. Thanks
If you want help parsing. Just link logs. People will love to tell you what youre doing wrong
^ LOL
Nah, I've done it and most people tell me things I already know tbh, so it's either I'm missing something very basic or Idk. For real. Every single week is a tilting week on reset for me.
Sometimes it's not you it also depends on how fast your group can kill a boss
Okay so did u apply the things people are telling u. You did wrong that u "already know"
If people are telling you things you know that means youre not executing properly despite having the knowledge. Sounds like its time to go beat on a dummy for like an hour
Yesterday I even tested out if SS padding on adds matters, nope, I literally got the same parses as with DD traits, so I either keep doing the same mistakes all over again or It's something basic I ignore.
Damn crit. We on the same page today sonnnnn
well I applied them I think xD. Cos I've asked here already a couple of times
Not trying to be a dick, genuinely asking, do you know how to review your own logs?
To some point, I know how to see uptime and resources like energy and CPs, also when I have used a cd. I also know how to see the whole casting rotation. What else is important? Maybe dmg taken but that doesn't concert parses ofc.
U can use the compare tool to compare to a higher parsing rogue around ur ilvl to see how different their casts are to yours
Thats a good way to learn
Thats good enough. #1 make sure dots (both dots) have 98% or higher uptime. #2 check to make sure youre not wasting any of your vendetta window due to mechanics (ex. Popping vend on pull for grong when you need to swap adds half way through it). #3 was tb ever on cd for more than 2-3 sec? If yes, check why, if it was you doing a mechanic thats fine but if it wasnt, then you need to tb more. #4 try to review the timings of mechanics on a boss and adjust accordingly. If a mechanic is about to come out that forces a swap, dont tb the main target (for example)
Playing DD first thing I look at on the long is mutilates cast with envenom buff on
If u can use cloak to avoid a mechanic and continue dpsing thats another xD
And then envenoms cast with Tb buff on
GET OUT OF MY HEAD @ripe nimbus
And then garrotes/ruptures cast with Tb buff on which is something I want to avoid
I’m not 100% sure if this is accurate but I think you have a bank of about 15 seconds over the course of any fight whatsoever to delay tb
Because that’s the time you have to get full value out of casting every Tb in a fight
@hollow stone I think you've got it. I don't have 98% most of the time, it varies around 94-95%, sometimes might be lower but whenever I feel like I am doing super good and I see the log It feels very annoying, I just don't think I ever will be able to get to a point of 98+%. I sometimes forget to pop TB exactly when it's off cd returned. ;(((((((((((((((((((
Need god RNG to gold parse mekka
My m champs is literally on the border of 98 and 99 but the fight was 2:01
hey, wth, is Double Dose really physical damage and it doesnt scale by mastery?
Or slower :^)
Our champs this week was like 2:15. It was horrible
wowhead says school:physical
God damn apes, man
At this point I hope some dps die so it’s a good 2:25
DD is another poison
LuL
Yea. 2:25 would be fine
i mean if its on wowhead, it must be true
Getting half a vend and a slow kill time, not fine
Almost a full one with MA
And your whole tb window
But honestly I think subterfuge to pad is best
I know. Subt is for sure best
@brazen prairie Wowhead says the school is physical, IE its an ability, not a spell
Cuz I opened 3 g and that was more successful
So you can use it while silenced
Bigly energy regen
the whole guild pads on champions adds and they die too fast 😦
@spice surge tyvm. Btw where can I check stuff like this? I mean from what each spell is affected and such
Just check logs, average hit of double dose during TB is always significantly higher than outside tb
U can also just watch ur own numbers
Idk its pretty random what effects what
Id say its probably about 30% higher 🤔
i hope none of you are exploiting on jaina 🚓
Why wouldnt i be
🚓
Exploiting?
tys!
@hollow stone do you always get above 98% uptime? Do you use a WA or something to shine bright when TB is back on? I never had this probrem on exsanguinate but Idk why I can't follow TB always for 15 seconds.
Just like how every demo lock is exploiting their tyrant bug
is that the los bug?
Koopa
Whats this jaina exploit u speaketh of
Koopa
No. Not always but thats due to operator error. I just use basic wa to track bleeds and i have a timer for tb. Works for me but my set up is ancient
Havent really touched my ui since like mop
anyone have a WA that shows the amount of ruptures you currently have up? I have a WA for scent of blood stacks but it doesnt work when i dont use the trait
its better not to know so u dont tempt yourself...
EZ clap
Ye. Keep it for yourself fo sho
You’re like actually the personification of Jebaited
Sorry i mean, exploits are against the tos 
Ye definitely keep it to yourself but let me know so I can be sure to keep it to myself

Okok. Ill spill the beans
Get the int oh and use it during transitions thats the exploit. Enjoy
Speaking of champ kill times ours was 1 minute 40 seconds this week

Wont happen everyone dies to mallets at the end pepega
We also never underheal stuff which is feels bad
We did have 5th fastest stormwall tho
Why reclear when you can wipe on jaina for another night 😄
Jaina is such a boring fight imo i hope we never extend
Stahp. Im excited to start prog this week or next. IT WILL BE FUN
Its certainly a cooler fight
-_- x3
@primal gazelle why would i do that
shes cute
Implying Ghuun wasn’t
@vestal wren for pvp purposes, kidney healer, cheapshot dps
i like pvp, but not in wow
for pvp just play League 😄
yes there are a lot of games that focus on pvp out there, if i look into playing pvp i look into those
what's your second vendetta timings on jadefire
Just cloak it
Pvp in wow 
cause you get it just before 60 energy
btw. to not cause issues, in no way do i look down on ppl who do pvp in wow.
I think its a part of the game that some enjoy and if they do its great.
Wait for them to teleport away. Or vendetta the wall for luls
So is erp
Though I find myself wishing I were good at pvp more often than wishing I were good at role playing
so you hold it till after maze @ripe nimbus ?
Thats if u vendetta on pull i havent tryed holdin vendetta for after u get sent up and get dmg boost thinking about it now doing that prob lines up vendetta better
i'll just do it on wall to pad
ez clap
ye maybe
i normally hold my vanish for that
Im gonna try holding vendetta next week seems better
Because 2nd vendetta always comes up on wall and they tele away after
So thats annoying
ye
When is pad log with 3EB 3SS exsang
Not even kidding
Okay kinda kidding
But maybe not because you get out of wall around 2:35 right
The real pad log is letting the tigers live and having the healers just focus heal the people and running scent
See u there
Big brain
the new trinkets from the 2 boss raid will allow quite brutal padding
just hope you got very strong healers
Many mastery
guys,is sample sequence table on raidbots accurate, or its just a "sample"?
Wall timings can be different depending how fast u get their and how fast u kill it. Maze phase for us is so short lol
Yeh but it starts at 2 mins ish right
@strange python it takes the 2nd iteration of the sim for the sample sequence
Wouldn’t the faster the maze phase the better it be
what's the best way to pad on champion?
a sim has (depending on settings) usually between 5000 and 100000 iterations
SS 3 mobs and then do it again on vanish?
Idk I Garrote the one that blinds cuz at least he’ll live through the poison for e regen
And double garrote on boss
nothing else to do on farm fights lma
Just become a chad and run ma obnly
@vestal wren what exactly do you mean by that? :
just join the __MA__sterrace
Gonna do it next week, got jadefire shoulders now 8D
Maybe I’ll be a blightborne boi one day, gonna start rolling shoulders
God I love blightborne
@strange python it means it is 1 iteration of 5k-100k so its as accurate as it can get for that
No one looks at boss damage 
its not a average or anything it is how it plays in that specific iteration
You can parse with MA
oh,thanks 😃
Significantly harder if you want to gun for rank 1 tho
Just crit literally everything 4Head inc
if you find sth off in the sim, you can ask here or in #tc-research
We’re talking about champions tho
Ok yea on champs you’ll have a hard time
What’s rank 1 right now anyway
do ppl rly put any value in champion parses?
I like the color orange 😡
You can get orange without padding on champions
Also the fights simple so it’s harder for it to expose the fact that I’m dogshit
2:01 kill this week 
well good groups are at ~1:30
Yeah was gonna say
😛
Fuu spittin fire today
We are the picture of mediocrity
my guild has 2:20 best kill or so
oh ye i played it as sub so i want to have it killed asap
Nah. Faster better. The less time in a boss without lust, the better
btw. this boss is the first one with an absurdly low killtime in mythic
it had even a low killtime during first weeks
The problem for us is all the god damn healers still want champs so we run 4-5 healers still
let them go dps
Don’t they have dps specs
We had a monk go full on dps mw because we didnt need the heals
Better to have them do like 10k than nothing right
We have 1 that will go balance. Rest as stubborn af
Even if they have no azerite
Cuz their healing logs gonna be doodoo with more than 2
Yea. Idk. I havent healed since cata but i dont think being afk half the fight would be fun
Heals are also the weakest part of our raid group
Im sure that doesnt help
We have 1 really good healer. And then 2 pretty good healers. The rest are poop
Lol. Yuge @gusty kestrel
Yeh
you bring the battle shaman for the slt
thats it
litteraly 3 button dps spec
lava burst, flame shock, and ligfhtning bolt
Igneous Potential omegalul
Elemental is great though. It's more complex than any Rogue spec right now as far as rotations go
Assuming you take Icefury and MoE
It's objectively better in practice for raid than any Rogue spec, just not for M+
What ranged class isnt better than rogue for raiding? Lol.
hunter
Til tuesday
Ele is fun but the lack of mobility sucks so hard
I think Mages are kinda meh too. Would much rather play a Rogue
is sin actually better than outlaw at anything?
seems like all parse and strong m+ are outlaw
Guess it depends if they got frozen in the near of jaina or in ruanda
Parsing is a lot of cheesing. If you're on M Jaina prog (or even like Mekkatorque) you want to be Assass because the damage is essentially guaranteed in the hard phases
On progress assa yeah
makes sense
Outlaw also has high highs and low lows where sin is more consistent. Consistency is very valuable for bosses where timing is important, such as conclave or p1 blockade
In general, sin is the go to raid apec
Spec
Would anyone be willing to look at my logs and help me figure out why my parses are garbage? I almost always top charts but I’m always parsing sub-50
Link em. But based on what youre saying so far, sounds like your group overall needs better kill times to help you parse higher
Yeah link em. Usually if you're top DPS and its low percentile it means your guild execution and kill time is primary factor
YA GOT ME
i mean a lot of it is going to be to do with other guilds just killing bosses way faster
Looking at your Grong kill, 4 minutes is basically the worst kill timing for Assa since it's when you're about to Vendetta again so you're at a valley for DPS
Makes sense, I also don’t usually pot which I imagine would help a bit too, just didn’t think it would make up for 40% of the parse
Potting is big. If you 2 pot a 4 min boss, you nearly have 25% pot uptime. Which is big
could play ma for higher st
Its also expensive tho
Also not sure about your opener. On Conclave your opener got scuffed too, you hit Vendetta and got hexed, took 7 seconds to get dispelled (lul) so half your first Vendetta was wasted. Which is enough to kill a parse.
Gotta cloak that hex during vend
cant you cloak that hex
The hex is only like 5 seconds though? 🤔
its definitely worth
Run out cloak step
I tend to save cloak cause it’s not a boss we have on farm, so I can use cloak later to help heals
Which will be better when it is on farm
You won't need cloak again until 2nd winds anyways so you're ok to use it there
You dont need cloak for anything else on that fight except maybe winds and maybe more uptime on akunda
hi guys, considering rolling an ally rogue to play with friends, does shadowmeld give empowered garrotes with SS?
It does
thanks!
but its more like you'd meld to get back into stealth and triple garrote
Meld gives subt or ss, and not the other. Cant remember which since thats the wrong faction
Also should I not double garrote with SS for my opener? I thought the added time to the garrote was preferred
So its not huge
So ultimately, fix my opener, start potting (when I want to get my high parses cause why am I gonna waste money) and wait until my guild has these fights more on farm with faster kill times and my parses will go back to being higher like they’ve been in the past
a nice bug people in especially warmode can use is, if you use Subterfuge while world questing: you can flight whistle/hearth/mount and not break stealth
when do you use galecallers in that opener apple? just out of curioisty
i pop it between vend/tb personally
pop with vendetta so it lines up for subsequent vendettas
macro it together with vendatta
How in the flip do I AOE? Do I just keep spamming fan of knives or do i do fan of knives then target one mob and kill them one by one?
Depends on situation and traits
multi dot
Generally, 4+ targets you open with three garrotes, rupture, fan for cp, spread ruptures envenom when needed
But traits change that a lot
Just general AOE mob killing. I just turned 119 and switched from outlaw to assassination and trying to figure out assassination from 119 to 120 to see if I like it. Single target stuff dies super fast but I keep dying with 3+ mobs super quickly
how do these rogues achieve such low chilling touch dmg?
Its a bug
Assassination has trouble leveling with multiple mobs. Put out garrotes out of stealth with subterfuge. Rupture one or two then spam envenom
And will be fixed
whats the bug
Ah okay, I guess I keep expecting outlaw type AOE. basically spread the venom and then single target stuff?
If its ToS, you wont hear it here 😉
Keep ruptures and poisons up for lots of energy and spam envenom yes
You won’t do the aoe like outlaw while leveling
kk, appreciate it, thank you!~ ❤
i mean its clever use of game mechanics am i right? 😛
@frail anvil If you have an SS garrote trait that will help a lot. Can g g cheapshot.

SS?
okay i found the ans
🙄
fun detected
👋
Shrouded suffocation @frail anvil it’s on the first azerite Helmer you can get from Magni quest. No clue if it’s anywhere else easily
Really strong for leveling
Dont play dumb, take it somewhere else
Ah what! I should have it already? I think I may have fucked up cause if its the first azerite helm we get, I'm pretty sure I obliterated it
i was just tryna make 10$ geez
I mean it’s fine. Once you hit 120 it’s irrelevant
It just would make your life easier until then
ah true true. alright ill just grin and bear it for the moment. thanks!
If you scrapped it you can use the "Item restoration" from ingame help menu
eh, im already halfway thru 119
I'm using WAs for my bleeds/debuffs but I really wanna make maybe a button with seconds countdown for TB, I really really can't get used to use it when it's off cd, I lose dmg like that and parses
Maybe it sounds weird but I really can't get used to it
is anybody using such?
Are u talking a WA to track TB because many people use such
well I don't really have a problem tracking the dmg increase for 9 seconds, but to see when it's off CD
Yea many people use a WA to track TB sure someone can get u one
I dont because i have a really good muscle memory xD

Any of the base WA would have it
I am bad at this game
with how many targets do we use fok when using 3 times dd?
I don't want packages as I am already using WAs for most of my things
4+ probably
only TB needed 😄
If u type /WA then go new and go to the preset ones for cooldowns im almost certain WA has a built in WA to track TB
I doubt as mine are custom made
Yes but WA has built in cooldown trackers for almost everything u just gotta to the new section and its under presets or something
@full pagoda you can make a Tb weakaura that shows up with 5seconds or so on cooldown, then dings when ready.
I used one for outlaw Alacrity. Only show the icon when buff has less than 5 sec remain, so I could roll to extend. Same thing would apply to a Buff almost ready icon.
on grong
do you guys vendetta/vanish the adds
they die so quick
or do you just save it for boss?
I vendetta the boss i vanish SS the adds
k
same
guys what guide is better ravenholt or wowhead ?
else you waste vendetta duration and end up delaying
Im pretty sure they are pretty similar @potent oracle dont quote me on that though i havent read a guide in years lol
i sim .5% lower ST with Subtlety and one SS on a +15 ilvl upgrade., over MA. I prefer the SS opener, will that .5% kill me?
Hey, does anyone know, without me having to investigate good logs and actually use my own brain, if it's worth saving Vendetta for after MSS on Mythic Jadefire for the damage buff? I'm assuming the answer will be "How long is the fight / Will you lose a Vendetta cast doing that?"
Haven’t done the fight but if you don’t lose a cast then it only makes sense
Purely output wise anyway
I only thought of it because after our farm kill Tuesday, one of our monks shot up insanely after MSS, and was so far ahead of literally everyone else, that when he died 5 seconds into the Barrier phase, a full minute later he was still dead.
Er
A full minute later he was still #1

rupture and echo or ttk and echo for standard m+ (10-15 keys) ??
yeah, thx mate
^^
which piece is that
i guess
hmmm
anyone know which freehold event it is on EU this week?

Hello guys , I have a question . When I have Vendeta about few second ending and I refresh Rupture . Will be Rupture buffed for full duration ? Example - Vendeta ends in 3 sec and I refresh Rupture 😃
no
nope
Thanks for answer
feral druids can do things like that but not us 😃
but then you'd be a furry
Hey guys a few questions. I've watched a few videos trying to squeeze out as much as dps as possible and along the way coming up with questions I don't know the answers to.
- On an Empowered garrotte do you pandemic it or wait for it to fall off before reapplying?
- Does Vendetta effect work on bleeds?
- You want to let empowered garrotes tick down all the way. If you have an empowered garrote ticking don’t overwrite it. 2. Yep
You only really pandemic an empowered garrote with another empowered garrote, in situations like the opener/out of stealth with subterfuge
I thought so. I was just questioning myself as I watched a Rogue POV on most mythic fights to nail down the CD usage and I was second guessing myself as this one guy would let his empowered garrote fall off then vanish garrote again. Which made me think why didnt he refreash empowered with another empowered at 5 secs? His vanish was up at the time.
Has there been any pretesting of the Zandalari Troll passives and their DPS effectiveness?
People tend to wait until there are finalized numbers before testing.
I was under the impression the latest iteration was "final". Though we are talking about Blizz here...
Lol, true true
hey guys, question about the opener with master assassin: why do we do vendetta > vanish > TB > mut > envenom , instead of doing vendetta > mut once or twice for 4-5cp > tb > vanish > envenom> mut > envenom?
basically the first opener is the one on the guide and u get 1 envenom during the MA window, but the second one lets you start the MA window with an envenom, and if the mut crits, u can drop a 2nd one during the MA window as well, wouldnt that be better? o.o
it's all about the combo points you have... check your own, but for me: 4+ pt envenom > TB > 3 pt envenom > mut ...you only have time for 3 globals inside the MA window, and since your first should ALWAYS be a full 5 pt envenom coming out of vanish, that leaves just 2 abilities left... just use that priority 😃
yea, but what im saying is, if the mut crits with MA buff inbetween envenoms, you would get a 2nd envenom during the MA window
@alpine pilot dunno where you are seeing vanish into tb in opener with MA
Master Assassin talented
Garrote
Mutilate
Rupture
Vendetta
Vanish
Toxic Blade
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Clear cookies and reload the site
ok
Think that's old
Same issue happened to other rogue in my guild I think
There was a typo in the first version that came out or something like that
well what is the correct MA opener then?
i refuse to believe that is the correct opener
It's basically the same except vanish moves back 2 places as far as I know
okay

ive already simmed myself
i wanna from ppl here how good is it iin their exp
@alpine pilot that's not quite accurate you don't want to "mutilate UNTIL 4+ combo points"... because if it doesn't crit, you still want to envenom within the MA window. You can't TB + mut + 2nd mut + envenom withIN 3 seconds
????
its dependant on staying still so i wanna what ppl expereiences are with the trait
is that somehow wrong to ask?
There's nothing weird about the trait (eg. Dagger in the Bank and Overwhelming Power), it works the way it works.
Although I have seen a mut / rup / mut / garotte opener in logs of some of the better rogues out there
That is the opener on the wowhead guide
Unstable Catalyst is much like Galecaller's, depends in if you can use it or not.
how often does it proc?\
For those wanting to follow some guide or a specific priority list... you have to react to the situation (procs, combo points, etc) and use your head. You can use them for a general guide but no APL should always be followed 100% if you are truly trying to min/max dps
UC so good you might as well by using Archive > _>
Except that opener doesn’t change no matter what happens
It’s just weird because people have followed the RH openers for so long and wowhead has it different suddenly. More than likely the differences are negligible
@sturdy python referring to the 2nd MA window obviously... again, use your head
We are talking about openers
Not sure id ever follow a wowhead or icyveins class guide tbh
So use your head
that IS part of the opener.... you want to use your vanish (2nd MA window) ASAP... what are you on about??
Wowhead is written by Mystler
The Wowhead guide is fine this expansion.
Rather just pick through logs of good players than use those sites
He’s our TCer
as it's written and maintained by Mystler.
it just makes more sense to me that its have like 3 to 4 CP toxic blade then vanish envenom
because then you get another MA mut and envenom
like i dont get why the opener is like that
on wowhead
So here's the problem with looking at "good players" and using their opener...
Sandman you’re arguing stupid stuff. People told him that isn’t how you open. I’m saying that is how wowhead has it now
Their opener didn't get them to a high parse.
@sturdy python you're actually trolling just stop. Giving people bad info cuz you like to hear yourself is not appreciated by anyone
and I imagine the opener on Wowhead is the way it is because Double Dose is stupid.
After vanish is irrelevant because the discussion is vend>van>Tb or vend>mut>Tb>van>env
I’m in here every day helping people, what bad info have I given @strange python
the second one makes much more sense i mean thats the entire point of MA
to get those big envenom crits
ya but does the MA opener assume you have 3xDD?
Could ask Mystler maybe
The Vanish ~> TB opener is about consistency, reason it's simming higher and is the opener.
vanish env mut (2) (No DD) mut (2) (No DD) ayo
There ya go
that limp carrot opener.
They're not telling you to do the opener that MIGHT deal the most damage.
Ven - tb - env - vanish - mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut mut
you might roll 2x 5s in a row as well.
How viable is assa in M+ right now? Or in general - i had a long break after it's peak in s1
Very.
so no need to reroll to sun or outlaw, i kinda dislike the outlaw gameplay
You dont like spamming 2 buttons?`
So you tb before or after van? 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃
Whichever you like.

theCorrectAnswerIsAfterVanishYouFuckingMonsters
But that doesn't FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL right!!
But if youre sposta use tb on cd, youre delaying it by doing it after vanish so you should do it before 
Openers are special :"3
I cant wait to see this discussion tomorrow
This is weird because nothing on the Guide changed > _>
Why do people get so hung up on debating the opener? Perfect opener =/= 100 parses. Worry more about wasted energy, wasted CP's, and the rest of the fight.
Because they feel like they don't want to make any "errors".
At this point, we're just joshin'. But yeah
I know you and Mizerok are, lol. But some of the others... It's just laughable.
We're being shitty about it, but people do genuinely care... for whatever reason.
does someone mind taking a look at my logs and providing some feedback? trying to figure out why my dmg /parse% is low https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/pbm9KNJwdaTGYjnz/#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=30
I'm sure the precise order of your opener is less significant to your overall parse than your ability to deal with mechanics while stabbing the boss and whether you get forced to move away.
@livid bronze If your DoTs are under 98% uptime you owe me a Coke.
By several orders of magnitude probably, too.
Ohhhhhh
You get .14% of a coke.
Oof.
yeah ive been having problems getting azerite gear with decent traits
Annoyingly at this stage that is going to dictate quite a bit of Damage.
Probably 10-15% dps gain just getting better traits, there.
Zeleo i'd be surprised if your Deathsnap Jerkin with TtK & SS doesn't sim higher as long as you can unlock the +5 ilvl
Or NP + SS on it
I'm sure both would be higher
@rose wharf I do a lot of m+, and my opinion is both sin and outlaw are viable in m+ and actually ideally you should be able to play both well. Affixes, group comp and what key it is determine what spec you play
my heart is only 37 atm 😃 I just got back into raiding a few weeks ago
That's enough to get the things that matter.
Tyran weeks with a dh/frost mage in grp, prolly sin for boss dmg. Motherload fort week, outlaw time etc
@scenic quail True but i have to concentrade at one specc at first to get into it again, i don't want to do much raiding with the rogue though, for that i my priest now
Since you're running 3xSS and SUB you wanna let the first Empowered Garrote fall off entirely and then Vanish and get 2 Garrotes in there as well as using your CP.
Id side in favor of assa for fort ML but thats being nitpicky a bit
Outlaw on big trash key fort weeks outperforms sin by ~20-30% for me across the dung
You also only got 1 ENV in that TB, try for 2 ENV.
My gear is still 3 traits stuff thts going to be a hassle to get the rogue from 375 to 410+
For context I play both at 15-19 key ranges
Fort ML you starve on BF charges if its a key big enough that youre at all worried about the timer
yeThatsTheShit
Which is why i say assa. I woulds played it previous weeks but i didnt have EB pieces until now
Having to refresh garotte in your TB window is never really ideal. Try to plan ahead and ensure your dots afford you the full 9sec TB buff to pump envenoms
It's fine so long you get 2 ENV on average really, just don't do it A LOT.
This is a bit of a mess.
The outlaw dream is coming to an end:(
In this case you should delay the TB for SOMEWHERE around Vanish and Vendetta.
Nah theres still very few dungeons i think assa is actually the play if youre min maxing
Outlaw's still hype
But there are a handful
In waycrest ohbby
Refresh Rupture before the Vanish, if you use a Finisher before the Vanish then you will have 0cp going into it and can Van - G - G
If you don't you can Van - G - Finisher (refresh RUP or ENV) - G.
Also actually USE Yulons.
CP?
Combo points = CP
You can macro Vendetta and Yulons together if you have issues remembering to use it.
#showtooltip
/cast Vendetta
/use Invocation of Yu'lon
like that
Will show CD of Vendetta on the icon still.
thanks
If the first ENV is 4/5CP here, just TB and then ENV.
Other than that look through the guides and make sure you are not making any really awful choices;
https://www.wowhead.com/assassination-rogue-guide

Also make sure to
in case there are bugs (are none atm) or minor questions that might be answered there (eg. Which Enchants should I use?!)
@ruby idol stop spreading your propaganda in my town
O _O
man i was blessed today seli
coming to assa to praise outlaw 
opulence head, rasta shoulders AND mekka trinket
outlaw > assa 🏃
i got cyphohide aswell but idk , u running x3 TTK cuz of higher keys
or all the time
ill ban you next time youre on my stream 
id say assa is preferable in ML, KR, Temple, Underrot, and potentially FH/Siege depending on comp
horde siege probably
ally siege you definitely want an outlaw to just chain stun the bombers
can't you jump down as ally
and play the horde side
or do the mobs change or something
quick question, whats more important, maintaining EP or pooling energy? going DDx3 with NPx3 and MA
if TB is coming up, pooling energy
if you just finished one, pool until you have to refresh rupture as late as possible, and then use the EP from that rupture and try to chain 2 or 3 more, at which point you start pooling again because TB will come up
generally id say however, that you should prioritize not refreshing envenom before it hits pandemic over EP, but thats just my personal opinion
okay, 2 or 3 EP cycles then pool inbetween TB's, thanks
dont forget to whisper your locks theyre getting nerfed next week meanwhile
thats the most important part of rotation imo
esp with multiple DD traits, i feel that its less important to watch out for EP, and more important to not cast another envenom when your current one is still 3sec left
yeah it's been whats killing me honestly i try to hard to keep EP up
Thanks for the input
@bleak spoke mobs are different
yikes haha
patchwerk and do mechanics I dunno
Do the mechanics.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wTaPsPV8GWRnb3ocNMshRb this sims correct, right? FT isbetter than SS/Sub?
im usually outlaw so im a bit dumb
when itcomes to sin
For pure single target, and with full uptime on boss, sure.
Hey guys, i have a one bit problem with my dps. im ilvl 392.6 and my average dps is 11-13,5k. On hero with vendetta and trinkets its 22 sometimes 31k
my most dificult problem is energy, i dont know if i hit keys too fast or to slow
sometimes i have to pull it and i loss my dps
i should keep it on specific lvl? like 60-100 energy?
could be gear, yeah haste effects energy
He means his actuall dps
I get that.
It's still low
Haven't logged at this ilvl yet. But I would expect 18k on gronk prob.
How much versa?
@ruby idol what build you going for? Davy eb build or sell/morning ttk
7%
probably should sim your character to see waht your character is capable of doing
with simcraft, i didnt get this addon
is there any instruction how to use for assassinatuion rogue on yt?
yeah 385
any good i mean
got some work to do.
my rogue has always been tuned pretty well for low ilvl. but just post a log.
i ve got rotationhero for helping me
if youre doing 12k dps its clearly not
i see
gotta memorize the priorities, and not rely on a helper.
idk if its rotation gear or something else
First week hc uldir i did 15k as sub
if your helper blows vendetta before a swap, youll get fucked
A helper for one of the easiest specs cries for making mistakes
@round harbor both
id say if your think its rotation, go hit a dummy and fiddle with it
link a log or a sim or something, we can help a lot more than "i do this much"
Raidbots import from armory is close enough to see what you should expect. Run one and post it.
First you look at your azerite and choose the right talents, then you go to the dummy
No
k
You copy the text and visit raidbots
ok
There you choose quick sim and see what your char is capable of
Top gear is the next step
ok ty
Note. The number will be high. Or should be. But rotation matters a bit and kill times /strats with raid matters as well.
i run some simulations on raidbots and my dps should be 17,3k
i tried different talents depending on ravenholds guides
and lowest is 16,8 highest 17,3
Link the Sims?
still no conclave chest piece fuck my LIFE
6 mins as well, at that. Lol
i mena also, you could do like one round of world quests and islands and get a 33 neck level
382 is absudly lower
his neck is 37, hes just not revered
im working on it i just started to play again 2 weeks ago
FUCK i gambled shoulders and got EB Scent
and first time i take the game seriously
okay...3SS 2EB 1BI OR 3EB 2 SS 1Scent
i think 3SS 2EB 1BI would be smartest but idk
kk i changed it like @cobalt gyro showed
2min fight on dummy and my average dps is about 16-17k
still lot to work on but ty for your help guys 😃
whats more important to sin rogue SS or EB
on Underrot which guy do you have to sap to skip platform? priest or the other guy, don't recall its name
you just have to go to correct side
yeah
oh, i need to run it more then 😃
i mean if youre going the side with two matrons, youre already dead
that pack is probably impossible past 15 without heor and most of your gorups cds
can you just shroud and hug the edge or do you have to at least distract?
one pl,atform has matrons, other one has nothing
so you can just shorud past with 0 problems
huh ok
