im now a shadowdamage healing rogue 
maghar orc is nice for rogue ?
Yes
if you like the race its nice for rogue
I really want to see the trait prio damage thing Koji was working on
Any cuties online rn
U
well during reaping, 5 procs of eb would give you 2200x5 = 11000 dmg + 6000 avg FOK hit = 17000 dmg to each target,
- Procs of instant poison = ??? idk how much dmg this is
its about half an envenom or more 😛
@primal gazelle do you still use CT?
ive never used ct
Never?
dont think ive used ct at all in s2
if i use 3 eb, i use HB
if i dont use 3 EB due to KR/TOS, i go PB anyways
Grommghar or Throghar , name for my maghar , cant decide 😛
My still was in reference to S2
as in do you still use it from S1
is HB really that good?
how good is zandalari for rogues?
its not that hb is insane
About as good as all the other races
CT just sucks
oof
yeah not saying i disagree haha
I just liked pressing the CT button tbh
been PB or Outlaw all of S2
if reaping come in waves youll have to CT multiple times just to keep up dots on all targets
HB also offers slight ST value
1-2%
CT is strong + enchoing blade you can deal 100k+ without and problem during reaping
any*
by FoK @20 stacks?
on single target?
got it
I have 0 :^(
then deadshot/wits for u
Like my status if u have 4k dust
@fleet anchor mentioned that outlaw with wits might possibility have higher priority dmg than assa with ttk? interested in seeing those numbers too
@primal gazelle iirc it was sth along:
subtlety - 30k prio damage
outlaw - 21k prio damage
assassination (with sob) - 20k prio damage
assassination (with 2x ttk - 19k prio damage
rip to sub rog dreams as assa lmao
well subtlety styles on both outlaw and assassination in prio damage
it makes sense that both sub and outlaw are better if you think about it
i thought envenom funnel would outdmg outlaw for priority dmg
i guess maybe cos outlaw can just focus one target, and assa loses uptime on "priority target" due to tab targetting to keep up ruptures etc?
koji modified the apl for prio damage
so are those numbers, before or after the apl change
no with diffrent traits
it just shows that 2x ttk does agains common beleave not strike ahead in prio damage
iirc koji plans to bring prio_rotation to sin apl too (its in subtlety for quite a while now, probably not in the super near future tho)
mystler made some adjustment to prio_rotation for sub also recently, those are commented in #tc-updates
Honestly really surprised by those numbers
Is it worth it to cap energy for a second or 2 if you have 5 cp and TB is coming up?
yup
it prob wont make much of a diff tho
since you'll gain that energy back during globals?
put the ttk memes on hold lol
not sure what sim setup he used tho, i assume more bosses
so numbers are bound to the fight style
(the main conclusion is just that subtlety > outlaw > sin in prio damage)
with the margin between outlaw and sin beeing not to big
Hey @vestal wren is there a fix yet for that extra line in the simc for troll racial yet?
Okay. That on this disc somewhere?
raidbots discord, its linked on the raidbots site
Okay thanks man
just klick on the link for discord

can someone explain why the bis trinkets are vers bonus on use. when vers is my last stat priority on ST
@primal gazelle Well Outlaw has a rather significant benefit of only having to spend 1 trait on Wits and not having to compromise on traits/talents at all. Kinda a design advantage of the way Blade Flurry intrinsically works.
Basically only major trade off Outlaw makes is using Dancing Steel.
Which is a prio target buff in larger packs anyway. Just a ST loss.
@robust trench because its much of it and it aligns with Vendetta
Does Master Assassin have an internal cooldown?
I am trying to do the Master Assassin build and have some questions - ideally is your uptime on a boss fight for garrote and rupture both 100%?
is there a chance that sin got nerfed this patch? feels like my dps is really inconsistent now
@fleet anchor Are you still planning on posting your priority target damage findings?
Yes @safe egret
@patent leaf no
as long as you can stealth, it activates
except with shadowmeld
yeah i watched some replay that rogue didnt pop it until the buff
Yes Tawney. Probably not until tomorrow though due to my raid schedule.
which buff? @strange python
idk if its eu servers only, but i went from having overall of 18k dps on 30 pulls on jaina to like 15k in 10 pulls right now and just all around feels like traits dont work sometimes
some pulls i have 22k dps, other pull i dip down to 15k
Take off and reequip azerite
nothing changed
Wouldn’t be surprising if your traits stopped working
yeah last night was rough for raiding, we had alot of ppl random crashing and 1-2k ms most of the night
@primal gazelle I don’t like the sob, I feel this pressure to upkeep rupture rather than just snipe with ruptures
And these conflict with whether you want to env or put another rupture out which is probably hard to optimize and has to be done pack to pack
Gonna try to score rasta shoulders for ttk fok instead
And do 3 ttk 2 fok 1 ss
For Master Assassin opener do you guys use toxic blade right after vendetta before vanishing or do vendetta vanish toxic blade like this-
Garrote
Mutilate
Rupture
Vendetta
Vanish
Toxic Blade
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
ST I was suffering a little too you’re too reliant on the bounce back from second vend
And your opener is kinda weak compared to another ss
i tb out of vanish
I TB before vanish then env->mut->env (mut)
^ thats a little riskier
yeah
but it works if ur lucky
Got to risk it for the biscuit brother
this is true.
I feel like if you're not setting urself up for highest output with MA you're better off with Sbut builds
when they all crit feelsgood
bull, that's extremely true heh
Env mut env feels dope AF
i usually g m r vend 4 combos tb vanish env mut env
env mut mut doesnt feel any where near as bad as it sounds like it would when u have 3 DD
idk if that's wrong but it feels nice
Thats my opener
yep
sometimes im lucky and that 4 combos is 1 mut right after vend is popped
then everything crits out of vanish which is pog
shit thing is, if i have to mut 2x before vanish, im pretty starved
this is true
oh yeah, i'm running 3dd 1np 1tc 1ttk
just cuz chest problems
ill prob swap that tc to np once i get my 3rd np from mekkiboi
so you can get the mut env mut env within the 3 seconds?
ah
so while vanished, youll have 4-5 combo points and env
then mut, if u crit, u get 4 combos, if not, u get 2 which gg at that point
cuz instead of getting off a mut env under MA, you get mut mut
If we could get 5 abilities in 3 GCDs I'd cream myself but also have arthritis
LOL
is there any easy way to compare overall m+ damage like there is with raid DPS using warcraftlogs? I'm trying to figure out if I'm in the ballpark for my numbers I do in m+ compared to other similar dungeon levels and players
yup
go on warcraft logs and look under mythic + damage
it should show class/dungeon and damage done overall, i think?
it may just be rankings, actually.
@safe egret you delay the vanish after your vendetta; so it looks like Vendetta->Mut->(Mut)->TB->Vanish->[ENV->MUT->ENV]
^
the only real problem
is when ur tank decides to go for a fucking walk right when u pop vanish
and u can only get 2 gcd's in MA
LOL
😠
kk
if both crit, you're at 5. if they don't, you're at 3
which is why (mut) is there, cuz if your first mut doesn't crit, do another to get to 4
then commence the dam
correct
during MA window
if your first mut doesnt crit, then you have to do another
it's not worth it to do a 2env under MA at all
THats why its riskier
yep lol
cause ENV MUT MUT is a worse MA rotation than TB MUT ENV
its god awful
is gore splattered vest nothing personal and shrouded suff worth keeping?
i would
for m+
with*
theres also a VERY slighty desync that will be more noticible in like 12minute fights
by delaying the vanish and TB
what traits should i play for m+ or cleave in general 3x fok and ???
SS
3x?
if you can get it sure
it's pretty nice on packs
EB>SS> SOB apparently
yup
since @vestal wren shared some relative numbers that puts sob > TTK
and does it make sense to sort of mix in st traits?
are people really taking hb with 3x eb?
@strange python ppl do that a lot
feel like I'm looking at something wrong cause those don't look like overall DPS numbers ...
Dayvanie is
depending on the dungeon and shit
i wonder how that works out in cleave
probably big ass fok hits lol
oh, it's more passive if anything
and then every 20stacks in ST u just burst with it
oh thats interesting
I actually kind of like it since it brings in the 3 dead traits in ST
yikes i didnt realize i was talking to a bad player this whole time
brb deleting wow
smh im striking out on getting m+ azerites
outlaw for another week it is
i mean, i have 3x ss 1x eb atm, thats about it
I have 3dd 3 np :^)
oof
whats with this inverse pirate?
On the real though: is MP worth considering over EP?
I've seen alot of people using i
and have noticed DP being a large portion of my damage since swapping to 3DD + MA
thats interesting
I simmed myself and EP was still higher; but unsure if thats like a thing with more mastery
but dd and MA dont change anything for your deadly...?
since mines pretty low
Actually that might just be a side effect of actually raiding
Since in S1 i only did dungeons
the other things are still in play
Is anyone familiar with the timewalking trinket Vestige of haldor? Is it secretly op?
no idea
Why u guys wasting residuum trying to get sin M+ gear. U know u can just stockpile it till next season right it doesnt have a cap
Im at like 5k residuum
true
why do i even bother too get gear in this expac, next expac quest gear is better
how do you know blizz wont use different TR for season 3 gear
Thats a bit different bud. U can just play outlaw and do fine in M+ ur trying to optimize a worse performing M+ spec essentially just wasting residuum
They've said they're gonna rewamp the azerite system
So i dont think holding will make a massivedifference
every piece is gonna have every trait available in the new tier
whats the point of stockpiling TR
Everything is just going to be unlocked dont need levels to get traits the vendor and azerite armor isnt going anywhere
I can't wait until 10.1 so I can finally care about gear all you noobs trying to DPS now smh
imagine saving up 3 months worth of TR just to buy 1 piece of gear 4 months later 🤔
Imagine gambling on gear for sin M+ when u can just hit swap spec and not gamble and waste TR
you act as if there isnt a bis outlaw traits to "gamble" for
U can get those all from raid
You say that like outlaw is strictly better in m+
What if people...want to play Assa in M+....
Which it isnt, especially when people start to get more gear
Since outlaw is allergic to gear scaling 😄
even if i get sin bis, ill still spend my TR for outlaw/sub bis, just to have more options and variety to swap around playing different stuff
saving TR for 3 months when you dont even know if blizz might change how TR works is just stupid
Sub bis 
method doing azerite funnel runs was dumb af, allowing them to buy 3x 415s first week of mythic
blizz will definitely fix that
or require different types of TR for season 3
Or increase the cost again
Or u know they wont because they rarely fix anythin lol
The cost is going up def. But u can easily save enough to afford at least 2. Most likely 3
sub is insane for high tol keys still, ill spend my TR on bis sub traits if i get sin/outlaw bis
There are still bugs in game that ive reported in alpha
minor bugs yeah
Maybe they're features
What makes sub so good for Tol?
oh sick u dont open the gates to get that dope damage
trash doesnt matter cause of cannons?
thats actually really cool
I'll have to give that a shot
been looking for an excuse to be blue
you can open the gates before the 2nd boss, and drag the mobs into the boss for the sub pad
and 1st boss on high tyrannical gets brutal
takes 3-5 min on a 20+
sub is best for that fight
''cries in 0 leach gear on his warrior''
yeh to this day haven't matched the damage i could do with sub funnel at like 375 or 380 gear on sand queen when shuriken combo lmao
its crazy how fast they nerfed first dance trait
meanwhile they let warlocks keep their OP trait for all of progression into the next patch
meanwhile sub gets a "hotfix" nerf
it was also crazy first week into heroic doing 28k constant dps on the boat on blockade and finishing with 23k dps
the trait was broken honestly
😄
not as broken as warlocks explosive potential trait
the lock in my guild simmed 33k st
now he sims 29k...
cool and what about the actual dps
cuz locks in my guild sim 32k and i still outdps them in the long term
or come close
tell me this wasnt broken 😄
hey i just rogue for fun as an alt so im not up to date on everything, i see for sin people are 3 eb 1 ss and 2 ttk. dont want to stack ss anymore?
i have 3 ss 3 eb atm
those locks in your raid werent even demo
UR locks sound bad tbh
thats literally week 1 of heroic
Our demo locks avged 28-33k
week 1 of heroic when nobody has double traits
sounds like a great indicator of class balance
even better, imagine doing 21k dps mainly as ST as 391 with no double traits
honestly they couldve not nerfed sub and it would still eat shit to sin/outlaw
🤔
I like sub; but its current iteration just feels like playing Assassination with a REALLY fast vendetta and no Venomous Wounds
i wish sub was a thing
82% parse at 21k as sub, vs my 61% as 20.5 as sin
a higher 80-90 sin parse would prob beat out your sub parse there
how is that op? lmao
hows that laminaria damage looking like
damn bro, your sub st lost to a FERAL
how does it feel?
wait jk, you beat him by 200 dps on boss
still dont get how that makes sub overpowered in any w ay
sub op? what?
idk he linked a stormwall log saying sub was "broken" first week of raid cos he did 21k dps
He thought first dance trait was op
but it made them barely viable and then got nerfed
they have 0 scaling and just do raw damage
kinda shir
shit*
mate, u have the weirdest flex ever
lmao
week 1 also that was the highest dps rogue log
im not even flexing
Careful, he'll charge you for that log analysis
if sub is op now i wouldent mind switching if needed
i just didnt understand your "flex"
it wasnt a flex
im implying the scaling was gonna go out of hand
thats how stats work
how is 21k dps out of hand? lol
Wasnt TFD Haste mostly just for Energy Regen?
My understanding of the spec is superficial at best
ppl that play it exclusively but dont know how to play it, those ppl make me sad
If only there was a place where you could talk about sub 
It seems like toxic blade only lines up with 1st (opener) and 3rd vendetta vanish window. is that expected? to use vendetta vanish without toxic blade on the second 2 min cd window?
Ur missing timings if tb is desyncing with vendetta and vanish
For 2nd Vendetta window you use TB before Vend comes up and then hold Vend/vanish for the next TB
oh so it shoul dline up for every 2 min cd window?
k
Probably better to hold Vend/Vanish
As long as you don't hold Vend/Vanish for a total for 2 mins over the fight you're not losing anything
I think oppulence is the only fight i hold TB
for 2nd vend
Lines up so i get 4th room buff for the whole tb
Cause we leave it at like 1:59
Still might not be worth it
just feels good
Also means you're probably losing 1 more TB on the boss in last phase
which will be worth more
Nah doesnt affect last phase really
depending on how long you're holding it
Would matter more if there wasn't like 10 seconds downtime between the bosses
Anyone a Ztroll rogue?
Feel any good?
They sure are ugly
^ obvs plays belf
Who doesnt lmao
Ztroll is cool
Is the bleed affected by mastery?
Def rolling a Ztroll
No
Unsure what to roll as though
Damn
I expected that for VW but not the mastery
Wonder if that makes crit>bleed for sin
Check tc research
Probably but you can sim it now on the nightly
Probably the bleed is pretty meh
Fuu sent strings if you wanna check
Who tf cares it's like .2
I think the glider makes up for it
How do you sim as ztroll?
Male or Female
Yeah i lost like 100dps but its fuck all
guys yulon + tol dagor trinket is good for mythics ?
Ztroll alpha race
Quick question foir Traits: 2xSS+2NP with 1EB/Scent or should i go for DD and Twist regarding M+. ( an abit ST, still trash matters)
DD is basicly ussules for m+
Unless tyrannical
you spend more time on trash in tyrannical weeks too
👑🗑
i dislike outlaw
With 2 SS i can prob play exsan again
how do i look at how many envenoms i cast during tb on a log
How do i enable Combopoints on the enemies nameplate in ElvUI, all my settings were reset with the latest update?
Yeah nameplates got messed up with the new UI scaling
Why on the nameplate though? Combo Points are universal now and not target based
We can up combo point in fight out with FOK ? Its new ?
What?
Does anyone know if simc accounts for shadowmeld with ss?
Probably not
@shrewd plover bug
@strange python It does
yeah its a bug
Well i always had it on enemy nameplates, so i can see how many cp's i have, instead of always looking in the middle on the screen
So for nighelf rogues. Is it better to go with SSx3 or SSx2, DD?
It would probably still be best to sim
If it accounts for Shadowmeld simming is still the answer
Optimal boss opened in m+? Fok to 5–> open on boss with 5 cp envenom —> double garrote?
which gem do you guys take on oppulence
ruby
Ruby because I'd go Outlaw if I wanted to cheese adds and my guild kills em all in 4 seconds anyways

Someone smart pls do the math for the optimal opener with this fok bug 😂
i take opal if other people have ruby
it's fine if you stack them
i have 2
3 mutilate , 2 nothing 1 rupture treit
for raid dont know if its the best
damn is there a way to calculate scent of blood uptime with more than just the one stack
so like time spent with 2 ruptures out or 3 or etc
what does snapshotting a gorrote actualy mean?
The garrote from subterfuge does 80% increased damage
ye
That 80% increase is active until you either refresh it or it drops of
so would i have 2 drop it then reapply with vanish garotte
Yeah you basically don't refresh an empowered one early. Let it fall off then varish-garotte, then let that one fall off before your non empowered garrote
A lot
ty
have been scratching my head why i cant get high logs on wow progress
thats why im askin
that mean you let 2 empowered garrote fall off and then follow up with non empowered garrote
Wait hold up.
Is Nelf(meld+garrote with SS traits) > Worgen(+1% crit)?
Also if you overwrite a regular garrote with an empowered one, is the entire 1.3x duration garrote is empowered? I wanna say yes but who knows
yes, you get the entire duration empowered
there's a FoK bug?
also, does anyone know which Loa buff is best for sin rogue yet? I'm assuming it's Paku or Kimbul
nevermind, I see raidbots still doesn't support the racial yet. guess we'll wait and see
any race sims yet?
Check TC research channel. Can sim with nightly build
Not sure if its entirely accurate but its something
does jaina reduce haste on mythic? my energy reg felt so bad if i look back at stormwall
dafuq does akunda do
Uhhh yeah I don't even have to be in stealth for FoK to give combo points out of combat
next time run it with Blood elf. undead. troll etc.
nub question but does shadowmeld proc sub
w/ belf & maghar orc
pretty sure shadowmeld procs SS not subt though
in raid gives you 3 cp + ss @warm harbor no subt
aight thanks
@obsidian ruin rip
there is no way to make ur tab detect mobs that have garrote on it and skip them right?
cause im sick of having 3 targets
g tab g tab g
and i g the same mob twice
i mean why blizz why
tab target doesnt even work the way they actually says it does
nope
Honestly in a pack of 3-4 it nevers tabs to the same target
if a mob circles behind your cone of los it could happen, mine also never hits the same twice with 4 mobs unless that happens
so i cant be in the middle of a pack?
this also happens a lot to me if i want to ggg vanish ggg
in that case i gust give up on tab
and try to click em
can u configure nameplates somehow so that the ones with g show at the back?
I'm sure you can custom make smth like that with plater
Anyone know if the gift of the Loa bleed works with exsanguinate ?
Yup
You can tab to the closest mob to the middle of your screen and it works outward
IDK if that's default or what but it's what I've seen
alchemy trinket is worth ?
it is the only decent one, you mean
Hey friends, what’s the optimal m+ build for assa? I see OL is the go to but I don’t have any swords

!wa
For those who’s using Afrnar’s WA - how can you tell if the garrote is empowered?
@dense imp if your just starting out any combo of eb/ss/ttk will work. As you play more and more you'll learn in which situations you'll want different traits on pieces of gear that you specifically have
@stable pine mizerok kit is nice. I remove the E bar and cps. But love it overall.
Shows EMP for the subterfuge garrote.
@lone junco cheers - will check it out.
its Kimbul's Razor Claw good for assa?
Not that good
Check the charts. And I think meh.
Hey guys, with 3 x DD does anything change in the opener or regarding vanish??
are you running MA?
Yes
I think it's the same
Can you vanish the brawlers guild bosses for ma?
So question is it gonna be killer if I dont get a SS but I can get 1 Np 3 DP and 2 Treach?
is DP suppose to be double dose?
yes sorry
then yeah that set up should be fine for ST running an MA build, however be aware your dmg will be severely lowered during times of TC downtime
Probably asked an answered already but , Zand Troll racial good enough to switch over for assasin
Thanks figured id ask atleast I know SS is great for anything 2+ targets but d id see a few on WCL of rogues not using it on like jadefire etc
3 NP is BIS?
@silent silo some you can, some it’ll reset. Happened to me earlier
@spiral blade you can sim in raidbots I think. Check #tc-research for discussion on it. It's not in herodamage yet.
Racials are minimal. If you like a race, play it
zandalari troll racials is the new opulence question
i was under the impression that Kimbuls razor claw is good, but it never sims higher even at higher item level.
its decent
Parsing well with ruby always makes me vaguely sad
opu is off all-stars so who cares
you mean traits? azerite only has main stat
Racial sims are out and it doesnt look pretty
Ye unfortunately reflects the sim i posted earlier
Anyone else noticing heed my call not doing any damage since patch?
A hunter buddy of mine is still around 5% overall damage with it. Didn’t proc for me once tonight in BoD
ya
now they come to melee range before casting grave bolts
this is actually huge
since EB has a small radius
Pumping as intended
Wiping as intended?
That would be enormouspump nudo

If I'm not planning on pushing higher into m+ would it be worth to keep rolling 400 azerite pieces for better traits with residuum instead of upgrading to 415's?
no
why not rng the best gear possible
another timed shrine 15, would have counted before change too
assa's actually so incredibly good here
*assa is incredibly good
hey guys treacherous covent or nothing personal?
El Sim it <3
good idea
I don't like TC
I always prefer how consistent NP is
1v1 NP wins easily
is 39-40k overall in AD good
never looked at overall much cause I'm pepega
you have one NP already?
y
thanks for making me look haha
assuming that's with 100% TC uptime?
yea with 100%
that's the reason I don't like TC, don't want to have it drop off 
haha i guess np dosnt stack
yea well i have 1 np and 1 tc now
was on an opener, I'm 409
im only 404 atm
I have TTK
2x TTK and it lets me crit massively on opener
i need the dice trinket seems everyone has that
is that trait good?
well.. it's alright, I've just been forced to play it 
progressing mekkatorque (reclearing this week) and I've yet to recieve a single piece with DD
I have SInister's Gladiator Badge at 400
felt pretty good
i guess i gotta farm M+ free hold haha
TTK is nice for Opulence 
lust + crit into TB and TTK envenoms on the big golden boi
oooo
i dont pvp atm so rip im never getting that trinket
is that the vers trinket?
so yeah, my azerite loadout is 2x TTK, 2x SS, 1 NP and 1 Blood Rite
it hurts me 😦
no, it's the agi pop
ahhh
I've got the vers trinket at 390 which lasted me a long time
405 plume and galecaller 
stilll haven't seen a plumage since the one i got from week one at 390 D:
with avoidance 
i have a love/hate relationship with it
weirdly i like it in dungeons
while I really enjoy SS gameplay, I really wish I could play MA for certain bosses
game pls
give me some azerite
can get nice boosts from opener with gale
fixes situations where you mismanage your energy
and you're energy negative for a large pack
instead of having to dot up every 3/4 globals you can just continue as tho nothing happened
how bad is the TD cannon trinket
absolutely
i have it
weekly was 410 socketed
if you're fighting on any slightest hint of elevation
need to replace 415
gg
anyone have any issues with weakauras etc atm?
it will fire into the ground
this might be a weird questoin butis it normal to have lower dps than ur sims?
@cobalt gyro seem to be updating kinda slow yeh
like
my outlaw one is just not tracking BR cooldown
oh thank god
wat
go check if they're like
actually tracking the right spell
if they're legacy auras hit the convert button
there was an update recently
i'm using miz's OL suite
invocation of yulon or cannon?
they sound equally unappealing but yulon i think
cannons at 415 and yulon is 400 socket
yulon doesn't bug out really
stat budget from socket is very high on trinkets
lots of times even a shit trinket with socket will outsim a really nice one at a higher ilevel
you mean the dice?
dice is kinda whatever imo
like it's nice ST
i'd much rather have a spyglass for dungeons
@cobalt gyro how much crit do you run on your sin set
like % or
ah ok haha
Finally got the missing piece where MA sims better than Subterfuge for me
Is the opening with MA in the guide correct? Vanish > TB ...?
Yes
Reason I´m asking is that I´ve seen several people talking about Vanish > Envenom
Vanish>env>mut>env is after opener
aaah, so they meant during regular rotation
Though i'm inclined to believe with the new fok bug we should open with 2cp and go g>r>m>vendetta>tb>vanish>env
I just use a WA to track procs. If I have 50% crit before/during the vanish/Vandetta window I go vanish>env otherwise I go vanish >TB.
50 with procs + 50 from MA. 100 % Env mut Env is better
What new fok bug?
Maybe it overcaps like 5 energy but it prevents overcapping of 1-2 cps which is probably more valuable
yeh
feels like it has to be more accurate than opening muti
that's actually so yikes
Hey @vast forum what fok bug were you talking about?
So even if theres no enemies around?
yes
no
Guys I bought a chestpiece yesterday and got my 3rd DD trait wich makes my setup : 3xDD, 2xTC and 1xTTK. Couse of that I lost 1xNP and 1xSS. I simmed myself and with MA talent im doing 2.1% more dmg, some 600 dps more wich is great. But whatever I read ppl suggest atleast 1NP.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vfmDg4GxMU5yCmodshLGiT
Should I stick to this sim result or get one NP back?
if it sims better for you you should stick with it
And do I lose anything if even one add is included due to not having subterfuge to fast dot em?
ss*
tbf, in the current raidtier there is almost no fight where you need too garrote multidot
maybe grong if you dont delay the kills and rasthakhan on pull
Y, mostly its singletarget
everything else is pretty much pure st where subterfuge garrote on multiple targets is not avaible/doesnt really matter
Ill just keep it then like this and switch when needed
Im on Mythic Rastakan atm anyways
Ty @royal lantern for ur time
you can take subterfuge on rastakhan when you want more deeps i gues
but even he is a pure st fight, on p1 the siegbreaker needs too die fast, after that you always only go for 1 target
melee in deathrealm, lul
Thats the order 😂
i hope ur talking about heroic
yeah i mean melee really shouldn’t have to go downstairs unless ur stacked on melee
Then most likely ill be out when we get back there.
pretty much all guilds i know use the ''build a gate wall and afk dps with ranged''strat for the deathrealm
(not like its different then ussual, ranged dps is always afk dps)
thatnis the meta
Death's Door at entrance?
yeha
btw. the win from starting wiht 2 cp is somewhat around 10 dps
so the bug is not rly impactfull
It's a qol bug tbh
Maybe exsg opener could change to rggvr-exsg
Still doubt it will be a noticable gain
fok keeps you also in stealth, that wasnt before or?
nope, stealth broke when you used fok
tbh, that seems all like a bug
those are changes that should be in the patchontes otherwise
it is a bug
yeah i wonder how blizzard can fuck those things up
new patch brings always some suprises
because in a game with a billion lines of coding adding/changing anything can have any affect on any part of that coding
^^^^^
dps wise, its quite 🤷 in pve
in pvp it is kinda abusable
Opening with full kidney while keeping mfd for an env during tb
kinda big
What bug are you talking about?
Also out of los and filling your cps
@spare dust try using fok anywhere without a target (it will generate 1 cp per use)
Oh ok, i will :3
is it a few ruuptures and then literally spam fan with eb on reaping packs or is it worth to fish for bomb procs/elaborate planning uptime? Assuming there's no prio target
you need 4 bleeds up at all times to sustain energy
Or to "snipe" low hp mobs to get the refunded energy
Ye
do i wait till it hits 20?
At 20 stacks
roger that tyvm
Hey all, Im running into a weird situation with my azerite traits. I'm mainly basing this on mythic mekka btw. Anyway top logs and sites like bloodmallet are showing that multiple copies of NP are the way to go, however in Sims I do most St damage running 1 NP one ttk and one bbi with 3 overwhelming power. Anyone know why NP is performing so well on mekka?
You should look at the values each trait adds in terms of DPS as for example, 1 DD is worth more than 2nd NP.
I like how you're refering to the bis setup as "a wierd situation" 😄
I have a question for mekatorque mythic . When i have the BIG shunk on me . Do shadowstep on boss trigger on other player or not cause im not "moving" ?!
Overwhelming power is very strong
Sorry the options both include 3x DD (so 3x DD with 3 x NP vs 3 x DD with ttk and bi and one NP)
So you have 1st boss, Gorak Shoulders and Ceph chest?
Yeah so basically my gut and this theoretical tripple overwhelming power sim is telli me it's better but the logs are showing that more NP is better
Omg
Yeah I do
Its not that twist is better than NP, its that overwhelming power is so much better than the other alternative that it outweights the difference
You have BiS
Yeah I got both shoulder and chest from first random 415 pls don't hate
Just embrace it! I got my 3rd spywarp in a row 😂
Cephalohide chest is bis? @strange python
I got it yesterday and almost deleted it due to my previous one having one NP
For M+, cephalo enables you to play the elusive 3TTK 1SS 2EB build
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
All azerite pieces have 3 dps rings on them, only looking at 2 of them is rather silly
Especially with how incredibly strong overwhelming is
for single target what are the best traits 3 mutilate 3 vendetta?
3xdd 1xnp 2xtc probably
3x mutilate / 1x blightborne / 1x NP / 1x tc
gameplay whise i'd swap the tc for 1x SS tho
ss feels to smooth
yeah and you likely won't get 100% TC uptime
in numbers i swa NP is worth 3 why people dont use it at least in raw numbers on blood malet
No its noth worth it even in raw numbers
Ideally you'd want 3x NP, 3x DD and 3x overwhelming power
But there isnt 3 pieces with all those 3 on them
I have a question for mekatorque mythic . When i have the BIG shunk on me . Do shadowstep on boss trigger on other player or not cause im not "moving" ?!
remember that NP is bound too a cd
wich binds you too 1 target with a, well, huge cd, and you cant always use vendetta on cd too
yeah right and there probalby is associated with a perfect fight for that cd
@spice surge 3x NP / 3x DD and 3x OP is far outsimmed for me with 2x NP / 1x Blightborne / 3xDD / 3x OP
yes i know
DD is only ST too, but you use mulitate all the time,even when you switch targets
yes thats was what he said
I just simmed myself once again after I saw what u guys typed. I changed 2xTC to 1xNp/1xTC and got 1% dps increase. So my setup is now 3xDD/1xNP/1xTC/1xTTK
Sounds good
the problem with blightborne is
its incredible powerfull
for me its worth 2x NP traits
but
only one piece in the game has it
its a shoulder from dungeons
which means you need to gamble it
so for simming what percentage you use for TC?
you sim 100% uptime
most people sim with 100%
Yes it sucks. But it is the same for Ceph. There is one more piece a PvP piece but still. Both Gorak and Ceph are gamble
reality is probably like 80% in raids
@manic veldt it doesnt trigger
yeah need to see, pot/hs everytime you go below 20% xD
I allways sim 80 or 90% why would you sim 100% that is not realistic
It really depends on the fight
and for m+ i heard now its quite some changes
most farm bosses 95% is really realistic
95 is realistic
80 is too low
yeah with amount of mitigation that rogue has
i'll pass TC thanks.
in raid fights you pretty much always go from 100%too like 30-20%in 1 hit and then need too be maxed out fast
you only stay low hp when stuff goes wrong/you do mechanics wrong
(most of the time, not all the time)
in m+ ss is still king?
3x ss + 3x EB
EB is king, SS is good
because new affix right?
Eb/ttk
this week could go 1x SS
Ss is not as good as before
1xSS is good. 2sSS locks you and your group from chainpulling
Tbh chainpulling with necrotic might prove difficult
ttk?
Do u guys use garrote in single target only to refresh it or do u use it sometimes for 5th combo point even if its good on duration at that moment?
That is true Yoppa. Was speaking more in general tho but ye. This week might not be the best idea
Or maybe pool energy till it comes close to being refreshed?
don't refresh it too early
You don't wanna use it to get a 5th combo point - that was only viable with the old set bonus which lowerd the energy needed to cast garrote
Thank you ;)
so on boss weeks you still mantain 3EB but not worth to use 3 SS and i should use some single target trait for tiranical?
ofcourse EB is good m10+
EB doesn’t help kill bosses
but the EB you will use on mobs and affix ss goes to waste on mobs and affix cuz they die to fast
TTK is good for m+?
you can spam big envenoms on big mobs
oh right priority targets a bit like sub
pretty sure sub and outlaw both have better prio damage
yes its arguably the best M+ spec in the game.
still no race sims?
but for raid sin still best right?
Any fellow zandalari who has info on which of the bleed or the crit racial is better?
Hey guyz! I tried a 14 motherload yesterday with 2xss,2xeb and 2ttk (since rng gave me outlaw only azerites for m+ the whole season till now) and since im pushing 20+ keys i need to start playing assa as well ..the problem is i did smthing wrong and i cant figure out what
I finished with 28.4k, the mage at 36k and dh at 32k... What stats should i be aiming in a week like this with that build?
Why do you "need" to play assa, arguably outlaw is better atm
I said need because at some instances i may be needed in my grp to play as assa for the st push
We played as mage rog demo till last week
Not motherlode tho
But outlaw can go st az pieces and still shaft you on aoe damage
Stat wise, crit is a hard need for eb, stack as much as possible, mastery right after, get to 9-11% haste bur nothing more
Ofc not but i have nothing else on sin xD
Sooo play otl?
Then you’re better off playing outlaw
Was your boss damage ok for the dungeon?
Appart from the 2nd boss yes i was first
Well you've done what you set out to achieve then.

Honestly, if you're looking for ST damage in m+ and it's not temple/kr
where you can sacrifice some aoe traits to get ST shit
outlaw will perform better
Sin is very good at aoe OR st, but lack the combination
Well, not lack, but get outperformed by an outlaw
Im just trying to figure out why im that far away from other sin rogues i see in m+ and cant figure out why since i was almost on them in last season
Reaping and outlaw change with wits destroyed my mind :p
I think i will stick with outlaw for almost all the dungeons and i will give it a go again in a kr or seth next time
If you like outlaw
