Check logs and see.ur rankings
okay. im just held back by the Rng gods. havent got much upgrades in my weekly nor raid. so its a bummer
hi guys, I just re-sub my account, I toke a break after uldir and i'm kind of lost. What traits/meta I should aim for? Is DD/SS still good?
Dd ss np are all good
same shit like uldir ?
Kind of but now you can have 6 traits
lol wtf, x3 DD, x3 SS ?
this is insane
With 1 ss you go subter and without it, ma
nice
I was checking logs... I saw only Shadow Priests and Warlocks at top ranks lol
Yes
last question, assassination is the best spec right now or it's depend on fights ?
Depends on fight but overall its assa, outlaw is good too
Rastakhan is good for outlaw
Many assa play like 3dd 1ss 2np because you can cleave with opener/vanish garrottes
Bod is cleave heavy with the later bosses focusing more on st
thanks man
assass can do very well on most fights
outlaw is better on certain cleave fights
but if you want to save gold on azerite traits just slam assass
though the m+ build is a lot different
Can still run 3 ss, or just get az for an outlaw set and win
between vendetta and NP, which is less bad for m+?
err yes, brain fart
if i had a choice between the two for M+, i would go NP, because you do use vendetta on some trash packs, and it has some value in aoe
and it can also be nice for burst on bosses
Problem with NP is it will absolutely annihilate a single target in a pack
Which isn't always what you want
for this week though it should be fine though to do that
You also don't use Vendetta on CD in m+ so the trait loses value
thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
Anyone here actually mastery gemming as their ilvl goes up or are you just sticking with haste cause simcraft says it's a sidegrade?
anything in sidegrade is unimportant tbh
So i can have 3 DD and 3 NP. but on my helm my sim says treach covenent sims higher then a 3rd NP. but on my buddy it def sims higher. any reason why it wouldnt for me?
Oh .. so he must have higher haste then me for np value to be worth swapping
Maybe
Its all kind of factors not just haste
Been away for a month overseas for field work. Been waiting for zandalari for ages. Can't believe they are so poo for assass 😰
racial dps doesn't matter all that much, if you really like how they look, it shouldn't be a problem being a zandy rogue
1% is 1% though. Gonna be straight into jaina prog when I get home
Pretty sure zandalari is like 1% less than what I am. What am I going to burn my money on now 😂
not really, well, i guess if you are going for world top 10 maybe, but gear alone has made up that difference by this point, plus her hp got nerfed
Yeah but the ranged in my guild are legit trash 😂
Melee carrying our guild in jaina for sure
but it's your money to spend, do what you will with it
I wanna spend it but it's not worth the Dps loss =(. I'll just race change my shaman instead
shrine
i dont think you take assassination even to those unless your outlaw set is just bad
i mean you could play assassination in any dungeon if you want to
but yeah, iron wire is great in shrine
top shrine runs are all still outlaw
not that bleeding edge can be applied to everyone
I take assassination to shrine/kr/temple
And every dungeon if there's already one outlaw and it isn't motherlode
I played around with a lot of assa the past 2 weeks trying to find where it fits. I think shrine and temple are def assa dungeons and then TD i think slightly favors assa actually but only very slightly
Fh kr and UR are about even between the 2 but outlaw shines in FH and UR because of gouge and more mobility
Depends a lot on having many sets for traits
Temple for example im running 3 ss 1 eb 1 np 1 blightborne and that makes assa pull very far ahead there
But then TD i run 3 ttk 2 eb 1 ss, and shrine id run 3 ss 3 eb if i could, but i run 2 ss 1 ttk 3 eb cause thats what i have
Interesting to see that you agree on those three at least
I feel like if I had infinite gold and gear, I could run assa in ever dungeon but it's very difficult to have the traits for it
Ya i mesn 2eb 2ss 2ttk is pretty versatile if you want to only play assa
Fits decent everywhere
I def like sin better there’s something great about fok into rupturing the whole pack lol
Its good enough that youre certainly not throwing by playing sin if its what you like
With outlaw I feel like I just tunnel vision but with sin since I’m multi dotting I’m much more alert and aware of everything goin on. Sadly my sin sims like 6k less dps for dungeon slice then outlaw though
Even Atal and WC which i think are like perfect outlaw dungeons, sin can be just fine, albeit slightly suboptimal
atal is really only not a great dgn for sin because there's so many pulls with mobs that just melt
Just run heavy ttk and blast skyscreamers
I’m gonna have to resim tomorrow for sin in m+ just got a new 415 helm 415 shoulders and I got the mekka chest
Take dungeon slice with a grain of salt imo
Yea I’m still figuring out if simming as 4 targets 40 seconds plus patchwerk is just way to go and mix and match what you are aiming for. More st or need more aoe
Ya if you have to sim for m+ its best to do a variety of different kill times and target counts to better understand your stats and what traits shine where
Rather than how we sim for raid upgrades and trust in sims
Just too many variables in m+
Tho dungeon slice is a good start at working towards reasonably accurate dungeon sims
I just dont think its quite there yet and can be a bit misleading
Yeah I just couldn’t decide how much I try to improve st dmg verse pumping more aoe
When in doubt favor aoe
Yeah I figure if my setup hits 20k st sim. Then. I probably am fine
But then again highest dungeons I’ve done so far are 15’s so I’m sure it’s all relative
Anyone any data on best leveling loa buff for zandalari trolls who play assass rogue>?
Hey peeps. at ish how many mobs is it worth to just spam FoK? with 2-3 EB
Any advice on the trinket "Kezan Stamped Bijou" (385, +313 agi, 700 haste 12s on use with 1 min CD)? Can't seem to find it on the trinketchart.
@modern isle with these many EB stacks, you want to use FoK at 2+ target : )
@little sinew use it on CD
it naturally lines up with your Vendetta, nothing complicated about it
From what I can tell it's about the same as Galecallers in terms of effect (slighty less haste and no speed buff), can that be correct?
It's basically a worse version of Galecaller's
But you don't get the positional requirement
You don't need to stay in it atleast 😄
Trinket is kind of irrelevant because it's not farmable at any decent ilvl
But it's good for new characters/alts for sure
@fair blaze thanks 😃 is there a number of mobs where i stop using finishers then? where it gets more efficient to only spam fok for aoe?
Are you talking about raid scenario or m+ scenario?

ah. only m+
In m+ scenario with 6+ mobs you can use CT as a finisher
Just spamming FoK>CT
in example when reaping comes you stop dotting mobs(you can dot one for energy regen) and you are just spamming FoK into CT, because CT intial dmg will do a lot of
perfect! exactly what i wanted to know! thanks ❤
Your welcome
@modern isle Remember to Vanish while fighting 6+ enemies :D, because SS probably still will do more dmg than your FoK spam
ooh! will do !
wonder which is better for m+ the Razor leaf crit trinket or Spyglass ...
hey, i just picked up my rogue alt so im kinda new but i looked up the guide and saw i should press toxic blade on cd but should i try to press it before Envenom? or does it not matter?
With jadefire as a ss gear sin, do you dot up all wall targers or only nuke one down ?
Before envemon
whatever you do don't vanish for the wall
I just rupture them and keep poisons
and focus one
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5giYZskNvogrcPX7X9CDep
Aswell in the club wirhout blightborne
is it worth multi dotting both bosses on conclave for energy regen
if you tank them close enough yeha
kk ty
i'm wondering if rupturing only before a TB for the extra energy for more globals in TB is worth it
Im on mobile atm, but i'd like to see if you can filter the energy gained gained from vw by the target on wcl
Any excuse for a mythic raider playing rogue to use Prolonged Power?
No excuse.
"Its not progression and im broke". But they should be coughing it up for prog
Sell keys buy pots
potions need to have the required herbs reduced to make, 18 herbs for a single pot is ridiculous
and rng proccing doesn't count
Just switched to Assasination fro Outlaw and it appears as thiugh my stats are all out of whack. Does haste value typically keep increasing as you get more of it? My Survival Hunters haste value FAR exceedes every other stat and the gap widens the more haste I get. This is for single target btw
Haste is not something you want too much of in M+ as Sin
I was suprised to see that my single target dps sims for less when I switched to assasination from Outlaw. Figured maybe it was a stat issue since I have pretty low haste.
Depends on more than that, have you got the sim?
I mean Outlaw ST isn't as garbage as ppl assume it's just not got anywhere near the on demand burst of sin
(Sin will still come out on top once it's optimised though)
Everything points towards blightborne being alittle stronger than shown by charts etc, any info on this?
it`s good. As well as DD/NP/TC and even SS (not optimal tough). Perfectly fine to use it
any tips for mythic rastaman?
The only parts where dps matters is genrally killing the first big dude before his second jump, otherwise your dps isnt very relevant and its better to play safe and not die
Which means running out when plague of fire comes (it can target melee on mythic)
@green vapor
Yeah it's our second night progressing on him, thank you!
Does anyone actually use Nightstalker?
as assassination? you shouldn't
Yeah I can't think of a scenario in group content where I would want it over the other options
it's pretty much a dead talent right now, but who knows what the future holds for it
Rupture in pandemic with 4 or 5 CP?
7.2s with 5 cp 5.4s with 4
Anything under that is fine as long as rupture doesn’t drop off
Thanks
Should I spec Outlaw for Opulence progress?
I've been wondering the samething
sin gets guardian down better outlaw obv melts adds
depends on what your guild struggle with?
if you're on ruby duty Assassination is better imo
FoK+EB ruled for the boss adds
how many EB's? like is one enough?
if youre on ruby duty i dont see how assassination is better than outlaw with its lower apm
pretty sure thats a wrong statement
There’s no way sin is better with ruby
In a world where only you have ruby as a natural consequence of playing your rotation properly ruby will just fall off

Why ain’t any of the WA for garrote includes an empowered garrote? 😱
Cause it's not hard to remember?
Most of them do though?
Ruby duty and/or add dmg outlaw, st boss dmg assa or even sub
So the new Dungeon Slice simming is really pushing crit over haste & mastery for sin. I was sitting around 24 crit, 18 haste, 36 mas. It's pushing me to numbers like 27/28 crit, 18 haste, 28 mas. Giving up nearly 10% mastery feels bad to me. Thoughts on this? Usually running 13-15 keys for reference.
More crits, more cp, more finisher, more fluid gameplay
Dungeon slice was updated?
Im at 35% crit 4 m+ xD
Just running the weekly from raidbots, not sure version number since it's not published in the drop downs.
hmmm... Maybe I'm over valuing mastery.
Thoughts on TB vs exang as well? Seeing this crop up more, and simming about 3% higher which is significant. Might have missed the memo on this swap?
I use tb
This week im going with 3xttk too cause of tyr
3xttk 2xss and 1 eb
But normaly i go 3xeb 2xss and 1 ttk
Pulling reaping into some bosses with 3xttk feels rly good
Running PB over Hidden Blades? I've been messing with this more too, and a lot of folks yesterday were saying CT not really worth the CP spend. I still burst aoe really high with it, but currently have 3xSS 2xEB, 1xSB
If.u get 3xeb HB is rly good on fort weeks
But on tyr i just go pb
Depends on dg too
Alright. Thanks! Def gonna test some things
LADS
need help asap
what makes the gold on opulence increase in size
then go back small
is it a move i can look for on dbm?
cause i ran to drop my gold and died to it cause im special 😃
surging gold
i dno
bop or die
its way too big to not proc cheat
is it possible that I even though I do significantly less overall damage as sin than outlaw, somehow the group still gets through dungeons faster? I've been trying to get +15 timed on shrine/KR for like 2 weeks now as outlaw. got them both on my first try as sin.
i know it's a small sample size, but even in other runs I've felt that even though my damage numbers are way worse, the runs themselves don't feel any slower.
like, as outlaw I'm almost always #1 on meters, as sin i'm usually 2nd or 3rd. but a lot of my outlaw damage just has zero impact or value, it's basically just a race between me and the DH/demolock to see who can get their damage out quicker on reaping packs. I'm not sure if I actually save the group any real time by racking up numbers on big packs like that.
it depends on your comp
situation: 5 cp, TB comes off cd. TB - Env or Env - TB? read a discussion here if it is better to use TB with 5cp and waste the cp but gain but I forgot the outcome
stacking huge aoe shouldnt be needed on tyr kr
even the reapings arent that big on kings rest
but if you have shitty cleave outlaw might be worth
I guess I just never have shitty cleave, even though I only do pugs there's almost always 1 other pumping big numbers
make sure everyone is potting on cd flasked food buffs scrolls etc i guess
but kr is a bit rough if you wipe its hard to salaage a key
@shy axle tb then env
thanks
Np
Cause that 30% on an env is rly big
And u spend energy on an env just before tb
So u also have less. Energy to spend inside tb
In the end the 1 or pot 2 cp are not worth
I came in late to the convo, but you're saying that if I have 5CP and TB comes off CD, use TB and then ENV
General idea behind
Tb On cooldown
You just use it, if you waste a cp at least you get a 5cp env
U should try to set.up.every tb
So when u see tb comes off cd in like 10.sec or 5 sec
Start pooling energy try to set up.ur cp
So that u can get a good tb window
If y start tb with an env and.u pooled energy well
U can get 3 nice env in ur tb
should TTK builds just ignore dungeon slice sims? it always tells me to replace my TTKs with EBs but that's not really the point of the TTK build is it?
Just interested in how you are doing it, reading so much different ways. Inside % dmg windows (Vendetta/Tb) -> getting as much Env out as possible. Outside of it pool energy. How much do you pool? I am aiming at ~ 80/100 while not overwriting EP.
I pool every time im gonna do a finisher
And i try to pool energy to almost cap before tb
So.i go pool env mut to 4/5 pool env mut ro 4 5
Sonthat ur mut get inside env and ep window
Get more dd procs and do more dps
And 4 tb i trybto set.it.up so that i pool almost full energy
yo btw
wtf do i do about the timing with the gold enlarging and me dropping it
on opulence
do i just drop the 2nd lot miles away from the first?
like leave 5 yards or something?
ty
FFFFF
*rework game again
I miss legion sub rogue
In legion i was like fuck dfa and the bugs
But now i miss it way too much
Never rly played wod xD so no idea
Yep ur right
Richard sees everlything
Hey madve 1q tho
Why did u play outlaw over sin on mekka?
because outlaw is more fun (?) than assa, assa is a resident sleeper
but on jaina we need "fix" damage and you need to move a lot, so assa > outlaw
because outlaw loses every dmg when you need to go away from boss
Yep ok ty
on M+ trash, with SS + TB + TTK, do you usually open ggg r tb env env? or throw a few more ruptures in there first?
I usually have at least 3 rupts up depending on pack size and affix sometimes I have 4 up
you get the 3 rupts up before using TB?
No I use to TB as combo builder for second rupt
Hey guys, I've been looking for some info on when is the ideal time to use Galecallers Boon as sin... IDK if it's worth during the opener with lust... is it?
Is the Exsanguinate build the best go to right now?
i ahve 2 nothing personal 2 double dose and 2 shrouds atm. should i go toxic blade or exsang
also i wanna start raiding, are these options good? what should i set them to
patchwerk, 1 target, 5 mins and nightly
For a singletarget sim
Which will answer your question, but almost certainly toxic blade
what about subterfuge/master assassin?
ive seen that alotta rogues run master assasin in raid
with shrouded probably subterfuge
If you have SS traits you have to use subterfuge
Yes
@spice surge my stats look like that when i put on all the gear it says was best
shouldnt my haste be way more and crit way more as well?
those stats look alright to me, maybe switch a ring for a crit one if you dont have one eq already
im not how you guys do it but i usually just switch my rings around for stats if i want more of a certain stat, seems like the easiest way
i assume thats for mythic+?
nah for raid
i simmed myself for single target 5 minute fight and those are the stats i got
i think people generally run a bit higher haste for raid, im personally running 20% haste, 35% mastery and 22 crit, 7% vers
but then again for fights like rastakhan running that high mastery is realy good
cause theres a lot of targets to bleed/poison
Your stats doesnt matter much, especially for singletarget
you just take what sims the highest
And yeah, better stats will do more damage, but more ilvl is often better than perfect stats
Well, you still take the ring that sims the highest
ye
just meant socket rings 400 itemlvl often sim way higher than 420 rings without sockets
or with bad stats
For master assassin i see some high end rogues are popping vendetta then building CP with a mutilate or 2. then tb then vanish envenom. thoughts on that for ur 2nd vanish use?
He is definitely using TB before his vanish pop
Just gettin the cd rolling no point in delaying just for the vanish
u pop vendetta on CD if you are gna use it no matter the CPs so
Yeah but even at opener he uses tb before vanish
only thing u have to hold is TB maybe for the vanish window
i thought opener always tb after vanish
and u will have it in the vendetta window anyway
Usually pop vendetta after the initial bleed setup in the opener
I do tb b4 vanish I prefer that play
its not much of a difference
yeah sorry i mean after garotte muti rupture thats what he does
my bad
i wasnt clear on that
also if i macro my trinket and vendetta together. do i need to hit it twice? or justo nce
once
ah ok. trying to work at dummy to work on figuring out how to pool energy before TB comes up
What did TB mean guys
Toxic Blade
On Aoe with 3xSS 1xNP 1xEB 1xSoB .. Do I spread rupture after the first crimson to get my SoB stacks?
Guild finally killed Mythic Opulence. Did okay with a ruby, no dagger or wrists though 😦
w o o
w o o
It's not forged or anything but it's a huge jump up from a fuckin turtles trinket
yeee
With mythic jadefire bombs, do u guys still put both bleeds on the bombs? As it feel that those bomb die quite fast after all.
Never done the fight but if they're dying before your garrote can do anything meaningful you're probably best to just rupture for the energy regen and get back on boss keeping in mind the chunk of energy you get when the bomb dies so you don't overcap energy
Nah not worth it. Just make sure you have bleeds on the bosses rolling first
Unless your team is really slow on em
Should I take Double Dose over Shrouded Suffocation if I have 0 DD and 1 SS already?
I think BIS trinkets are DICE from FH and the versaliti feather from King Rest right?
thats the most common 2 people aim for yes
Hi guys, is sin good for m+ and raid or should i switch outlaw?
Yes for part 1, up to you for part 2, both are good.
@river zinc to answer your questions from like 6 hours ago you don't take tempest.... Like ever probly.
I can't see a dungeon where I would want it over HB or pb
So in your scenario you would spam ruptures until your energy positive then for envm
Your really gonna wanna work on getting 3 eb though
What are peoples opinions of actually using galecallers over something like plumage or dice in BDA fights? I know it sims higher, but I find I cant always get full potential from it
Exactly what u just said
I ditched gcb, its probably only always better on 1-2 fights at max
Same
its too unreliable
Plum u just macro to vendetta and forgot that you have it on
ist not bad, its just not worth the hassle imo
Yeah, this is what I figured. Thanks for the thoughts
theres still top logs with it, but its the minority
plume is so easy, can't bother with gcb
inb4 you get 425 boon with socket
I have a 410socket gcb that I don't use over 405 socket plume
hello lads
beginner question:
is there a downside to refreshing rupture/garrote on only 1-2 or even <1 sec remaining?
or should it always be at around 3-5 sec
nope no downside
so the ideal is to refresh it basically with as little time remaining as possible?
0 ofc
As long as you refresh within your pandemic timings its fine mate
just refresh it anywhere in the pandemic window when it's good for you
It makes no difference if you refresh at 0.1 or max pandemic
awesome, thanks!
if you have empowered garrotes you refresh when it falls off
If you have any empowered bleeds you let them run out before refreshing
another thing, i am playing with twist the knife right now and masterassassin, if i am at 3-4 cp and got toxic blade coming up in about 3 sec, should i bank energy and tb -> envenom and waste globals or just go multilate -> envenom and then tb
with enough bleed uptime remaining and not capping energy only in that case
if you can pool energy for tb without capping that's good
don't mutilate at 4cp though
stay be or go zandi ;/?
Makes little to zero difference, personal preference.
Big F for my buddy who just killed mythic opulence as a troll (->nightelf) and didn't know shadowmeld activated subterfuge
That!

So do u just use Shadowmeld followed by Garrote or is there more to it? I didn't bother to ever try it, because I thought there is just no way it will work in raid.
Thats the only way it works yes 😄
The difference over the length of a fight isnt going to be massive either way
Wow what an important information, considering I'm gonna progress mythic opulence with my guild tonight :-D. Thank you
I havent played Alliance for years so in terms of optimal use, I wouldnt know other than looking at the APL breakdown
It'll be a gain, but minimal
Every little deeps counts
human trinket 
Being able to vanish for damage and still meld mechanics is some busted shit
I wish I liked night elf the most 
would be neat with shrouded suffocation
minor, but neat
Meld with SS is massive in M+ tho
since it doesn't trigger subterfuge, is it really that massive for one target?
or can you restealth in m+? I'm not sure how shadowmeld works
I restealth aft meld. Full reset
oh, that's dope
Aslong as you are not in an encounter. In other words bossfight or for example turtle in FH you can stealth with meld in packs and you get full subt
Allways if you stealth the moment you meld
U explained what I ment
Even if you get out of stealth you still had a 0.01 sec "real stealth"
= you get subt
In bosses you can meld>garrote and get SS trait value on it
Just not subt empowerment
yeah, that was established, I just thought it was the same for regular ol' packs
still neat
or just human trinket any stuns 
I'm running TB + MA, should I be pooling for max envenom uptime or max EP uptime?
U just want ep for when u are doing something
Its not worth to mantain 4 aa and bleeds
So pool and have ep up when u mut/env
Thats all
how much energy do you pool before tb
As much as u can
As loong as u dont overcap energy
If u can pool almost a full energy bat do it
And using that u explain ur rl that u cant pick up ruby lul

Ola, is there anyone that can offer me some help/advice on mekkatorq mythic 😃
stabby stab
currently progressing on him with 13% as the best attempt so far
he's way easier than I imagined
ah we got him as low as a 3% wipe, but i got benched around 3 quateres of the way through because i trampled 2 people and it was apparently my fault
not saying it wasn't but would be great to get another PoV on what they think from the replay
oof, yeah we're struggling with a lot of people killing others with bombs and/or not standing in the safe zone
hurts to see
just stand still for a while after world enlarger and it's easy peasy
Trampling as in normal size or like being giant
you can cloak for buster, or shadowstep to him
I never trample people that way. if I'm big, I just move slowly but steadily, and I tank blast off if I have to
1st time i was giant, 2nd time someone was small and i was normal
If you're giant ppl need to make way
that the attempt, but im not sure if u can view the log
Basically im big, and i am to the right of the boss, holly pally is behind the tanks, blast off comes and i run to the corner away from everyone but i dont see the holy pally
generally as a rogue tehre's no good reason to move as giant
I hate being trapped by two ranged standing super close to me when I'm giant 
save cloak for the buster, tank with feint if you have to
Holy pally is literally the only person withing even 10-15 yards of me
there's not really a good reason to be moving
trampling small people as a normal person is also kinda just.. hard to do
but ya true didn't actually think of tanking with feint
you get a cast time for it, don't move? you get a warning for wormhole, don't move?
in an ideal world as a giant you don't have to tank anything but you won't die to a buster as a rogue and it's better to worst case have cheat death proc than kill people
Aye, it was just a case of blast off came and being big i thought nobody else would move to where i was going to avoid dmg, but the holy pally ran there while the rest of the raid ran in the opposite direction to avoid
If it was my fuck up, then i fucked up nps, but just wanted a 2nd opinion
Another thing u nay look into is 4 healing
We found that deeper into the fight there is a wormhole blast off combo that more than likely is just gonna kill like 90% of your raid
We are gonna make that change this week and hopefully kill h
it was mentioned but RL said 5 healing for 1st kill is better
I also mentioned delaying lust in p3 by a few seconds so people with bombs can get better benefit
but they said they were waiting to long
You typically want to lust as the fire from intermission are fading away
you want to enter intermission just after bombs are about to clear usually
what time that is depends a lot on your gruop
@round harbor we wiped to that combo at 1% 4 times
When we were casting lust there was around 3-4 seconds until bombs were about to be cast
Yeah it's rough. Same we have 3 zero percent wipes due to it
so when the debuff when out 3 people would have to run away during lust
just get people to kms themselves on the overlap
and hope you have one person to clear polys
(with the bombs that is)
it's pretty lame though
Or just 4 heal 😁
Clear polys with bombs?
I actually don't know lol
monkaS
1 bomb in raid is wipe
How does one bomb the polys
not really no, but that's not what i meant
there's only one nasty overlap in the entire fight
and the bombs can kill themselves
and then if you have one person to clear the poly on the overlap the boss dies if there's even like 10 people alive
Yeah but what we are saying is that isn't always as easy as that
Since knock up and polys are random
Last bombs directly hide and suicide
Hey any tips for getting a dagger? I did 23 times atal dazar and still nothing. I would like to learn assa but i have only 2 fists 385
Is your lootspec set to assassination
yes
doing it, guess unlucky
I still have a 370 GCB and 370 Harlans because rng hates me for trinkets. So yeah, just unlucky dude.
I didn't get a max level GCB until the middle of Feb. Farming from the start. You'll get there. eventually
I like GCB but tanks love to move the moment I pop it
Yell "STOP Hammertime"
it should be an animation others can see, so they know when it's up
I got a 405 GCB, 400+gem loaded dice, 395 plummage, 395 sinister glad badge, 415 yulon (from raid)
yulon apparently does not sim well but I am curious how much it can actually put out
on 4 target dummies it hit for almost 40k
I guess that is pretty low overall
I have not had much luck with azerite armor for M+, I am still rocking the same pieces as like a month ago
3eb, 2sob, 1ss... it's not bad... but kinda want to try those TTK traits instead of SOB
or more SS instead of SOB
I got an ivus with socket too but think spyglass is better still
Ttk over sob for sure
Ttk is really strong most weeks. I usually run 2x eb, as, ttk and maybe on fort weeks go 3x eb and drop an SS or something
feint doesn't reduce damage from freezing tidepool on stormwall, is that correct?
if you talent elusiveness it does but i’m not sure about if you don’t
Just dont stand in the pools from sea swell. You should be dipping in and out right as sea swell is going out. You only take 2-3 ticks depending on how quick you are (1 if youre timing is toight). Shouldnt need to feint them and i recommend not running elusiveness since cheat can save you if you fuck up during boats or move too slow on a sea swell. Cloak certainly works tho, and you can vial instead of feint since the pool dmg is like 60k ticks or something which gives you tons of time to move
what does MA Poison build opener look like with troll racial
sure but dps isn't an issue for us so might as well use the energy to mitigate tidepool ticks if possible
Does multiple SS, DD, and/or NP traits stack?
gotcha thanks
Question, currently Iam leveling and using subterfuge in assassination tree
Do I garrote mutilate garrote till 4-5 cp and then rupture
To gain max duration buffed garrote?
On 1 target
Yes
I mean for leveling garrote mut rup is probly more than enough to kill any mob
I assumed he meant in 5 mans levelling because yeah normal questing you're prob killing stuff in a few seconds anyways
u delay vendetta+vanish for first multi sided strike at jadefire?
Depends on where you lust and your kill times
If delaying means you miss out on a vendetta cast then don't
Nah.
Never delay regardless of kill times
After first multi you get 1st transition and cats
You’ll never be focusing 1 target for 20s until a ways after 2nd multi
Ur second vendetta is gonna be right before second transition but it’s still worth using even if you only get 10sish on it
It’ll be up one last time, maybe 2 if ur dps is shit
Would I be severely gimped running m+ without any echoing blades? I have lots of really good traits on my 415 azerite pieces for sin, but no EB. I'm considering trying it for some keys on tyrannical weeks, as I'm finding my boss damage is pretty inconsistent as outlaw.
Uhh
On tyran weeks outlaw dmg is more sustained. And depending on the traits... maybe
But eb is so powerful I just wouldn't even play sin in dungeons with out it
Ok just curious. I'll have to try and get some before I would test. I have lots of great 415 traits like ttk, ss, NP, DD etc, but no EB unfortunately haha
well I just simmed this cos I've got a new trinket from Torotollan's cache. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bvYMQLKcbuk31aE4ChhE4d
Do you guys think it'd be a good choice for certain situations with a lot of movement?
I like the bijou. Cause it's hard to stay in the gcb circle.
Yeah and tbh I know it says 0.7 % dmg reduction
but there's almost not a single spot, besides on openers where you don't have to move more or less.
I meant -0.7%
I wish I had the mongo crit trinkets. But it's what I have.
Gz @full pagoda
Question: sometimes mutilate gives me 4 cp. not sure if it’s because of mutilate only.
Anyone have an idea why?
2/3/4
It is 2, 3 or 4
I’ve been playing outlaw for mythic + because why not it’s cake, but just wondering about Mut what are the go to traits? 3EB and 3SS or do we mix it up a little?
yea you can mix it up a bit
you can mix in scent of blood, nothing personal, double dose even
its not bad to have a few mixed in, depending on what traits you have access to
Twist is good, double dose is not
well of course
but i'm not sure everyone has access to the perfect 3ss 3eb pieces
like I myself, do not
ye but DD and NP oof
Yer for that setup I have to drop a bit of ilvl on the Azerite down to a couple of 380 pieces
so would i
like massively tbh
not going to take a 370 ss / eb, piece over a 415 (with dd/ ss) for high keys
CT in Freehold this week? Setup is Rogue, Owl, DH
When do you FoK? How many targets you multi dot with garrote/rupture 3-4? After that FOK?
np can be thrown into m+ gear abit , higher tyran keys , a few people have dabbeld in it
like KR
or temple
I've been 3dd 3np because i enjoy being a burden to my friends in temple / KR
Lol
they asked me to 🤷
The ST must of felt good thought aimrite
yeah i mean its exactly like raiding except the trash parts instead of being cheery jokes is mostly just a lot of frantic stress and ruptures
for like
34k
I dont think I'd recommend it; but for hard boss tyr weeks in comps with naturally large AoE damage, i dont think 1 NP is out of the question
something like 3ss 1 eb 1np 1 filler i can see being good on something like Tyr Temple/KR
in basically any other dungeon i think you really want 3eb
My ass was pocket typing
So I read the assassination guide and im not really sure when i should be using either TB or exsanguinate, Could someone please explain it to me
Youll usually use TB pretty much always except maybe M+
Ok, thank you
It sims higher most often, but I think it comes down to preference in regards to playstyle tbh
Even m+ tb isn't awful
At least when I simmed exsang and TB didn't affect my damage at all
Like, I personally hate TB, and I use it only when there's more than a 1% difference in the sims
Exsang is my go-to because I like the playstyle better
And what I find is that I outdps myself using exsang over TB anyway, because the playstyle jives better with me
😄
So feel it out for yourself and practice both
Can anyone link me a good explanation when to use Shrouded Suffocation and when Echoing Blades?
!azerite
!azerite
G G
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
moroes beeing lazy, i see
A little slow on the uptake even.
Still not sure when to use Shrouded suff and when Echoing Blades become better, can anyone clarify?
@atomic saddle SS requres restealth. EB can mass cleave on mongo pulls.
if you are pulling single packs SS will do very well. if you are pulling big, or chain pulling EB does well.
EB requires crit.
ss only dmgs up to 6t. max.
depends on the dungeon, alot of trash = EB , less trash = SS , if u want a simple answer
if your tank is a bitch and pulls pack by back SS is great.
So for freehold +12 EB will pull ahead I guess
if you need help with reaping EB.
basically. the meta is 1ss. 3eb and 2ttk. or a variant thereof
1ss lets you get triple silence garrote and some good boss dmg. 3eb cause 100k fok cleave.
Thanks got a much clearer picture of it now.
one of our tanks, starts running off at 15% throwing shield at the next pack. if I were 3ss, I would drive to his house and hit him with a fish or something.
restealth is required.
eb helps with that
definitely appropriate reaction I must admint ;D
would prob burn his house, too
Yeah, so you could have cooked fish.
When they do that i ask them to stop, if they don't after 3 times, i just leave
i can't play sin in m+ because tanks refuse to have me in mind when they pull
Yeah I tried that one time - asked my tank to stop.. the healer then spoke up instead and said "we only stop if I need to drink - you're just a dps"
oh yikes that's an instant quit from me
I was like ... okay then you can heal more since my dps will be low as fuck
bye key
he deserves it anyway
True
Then it is even more stupid
Agreed
this tbh
He's like the "key czar" in our guild though. There are a number of us that are capable of high keys, but he is one of the only healers, so he has somewhat of a monopoly if we want to run a guild group
Next time he does that answer " is that so? /leave / gquit
lol
They render in the best case 3 azerite traits worthless
@strange python just play ttk build so reastealths don't matter
or be a nelf i guess (^:
never
your st is worse then subtlety's
and ttk doesent even provide that insane st increase
😐
just get more sockets 
😐
this was the iffrence in koji's sim coming from ss (prio damage)
koji works to improves it still iirc (and ttk is not very high on the list)
ok so opening with 9 subt garrotes in m+
does that assume enough targets to fok env fok env. on top of tb
is nuts
3 vanish 3 meld 3?
yes
the meld 3 is discount though
full stealth
yes
iirc its with a lot of enemy's
neat
still slower than fokfokfokfokfokfokfokfokfokfokf
not sure if melt allowes stealth in the sim
neat.
It's only present in the Dungeon Slice IIRC so probably doesn't account for meld on bosses and on trash.
ye for that sim def. not as it has more targets up for the fight
kidna busted
FoK | ENV also doesn't require 200 targets.
ye
IIRC the dungeon slice sims NE so well because it allows effectly a second Vanish with Meld+Stealth.
Which is accurate, but I do not know how well it uses Meld.
i am not sure tbh
also means you can be a bit more flexible with vanish uses
mystler was saying it does, so you right
👌
Chain pulling is just bad in general imo
Like sometimes good but other times shit tanks chain pulling when a low hp mob has like 60k hp
Getting a full stop so all dps can prepot and healer can drink again is massive
Chainpulling for outlaw = no prepot, no fishing for good buffs before next pull, no letting bf recharge
You get to use vanish as a prepot tool in outlaw which is nice, but not chain pulling a sub 100k mob is better
I understand in ml though when u got a 4m how peacekeeper u just drag around.
in m+ you never wanna be fighting just 1 mob
tho in some cases ya just finiush it off
Any1 already lowkey figured out if any of the items in the new raid gonna be good?
Nope
Yep :3
Did you run Sin to level/quest?
Ye
@cobalt gyro did you switch to nelf from void elf hehe
ye
ugh i'm jealous
y
Because he's tall?
is it worth having 2 stacks of double dose? or should I get rid of one for shrouded suffocation ?
Good for Raids, bad for M+.
I have zero SS ... just wondering how valuable it really? azeritepowerweights scores double dose a 10 and SS like a 1.5 or something
DD is good for raids?
Yes.
DD rules in raids, 3 of them are among the best possible ST combination
That scores thing is no where near accurate
explain.
Traits have different synergy with different stats that you have, and different azerites/talents that you may have or use
well DD affects poisons and SS affects bleeds.. so basically the same shi.
I'm mastery heavy.
like39% lol
trying to get my crit up but seriously feels impossible.
Can you evasion Coin Shower?
Its physical damage.
honestly no idea. theres not that many physical spells anymore that you can actually dodge with evasion
my gut says no
I am pretty sure it works. I used it once. I dont know if I had an external or not.
Ill check and see.
would definitely be good to know
It's a big fat no, IMO.
most physical spells cant be dodged anymore, only one i can think of is last boss motherlode, when he smashes onto a pillar
would be nice to have atleast some value with evasion 😦
Cannot miss
Though I suppose MISSING is different than DODGING.
So.
Probably the same though. Physical Immunities work, nothing else.
Quick question. I got on MDI servers playing Outlaw, but I want to try assassin for M+. What's a good baseline 6 primary traits to try? 2x SS, TTK, EB?
Depends on comp mostly.
prob 3 EB an SS and like NP/TTK/TC
But that seems fine.
ttk is more of a highkey setup when you need prio damage
MDI will mostly be speedkeys, where 3EB will rule and probably 3SS as well
If you are ST then 3xEB | 3xTtK , if you are not sure SSx3 | EBx3
Fucking just run 2 | 2 | 2 > _>
Just run 6 eb tbh
Tape 2 SIN Rogues together, back to back.
how many sockets you up to seli
in a two target situation, toxic blade with 1 ss trait, stacked light movement, what would be the perfect opener? garr A, garr B, rupt a/b, mut, mut, rupt a/b, mut, vend, tb, mut till 4cp, env ... continue ST rot?
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
@round harbor well doesnt help me at all, appreciate the effort tho
Does Nothing Personal stack and if so which part x-x
yes, damage

simming is the answer
The easiest way to use SimulationCraft. A resource for World of Warcraft players.
there are tutorials on youtube on how to use the site
its pretty easy
once u get what u should do
Does scent of blood ever see any use at all for m+?
ok so is 1 TTK better than 1 Scent even if im rocking 3 EB and rupturing 3-4 mobs in aoe?
sims showing TTK better than scent even on aoe
fun times
Any mix between ttk eb and ss is.good
Cpm counts muti as 2 casts iirc
What is the opening rotation for assa in M+ on big pulls? 3x SS garrote then 1x Crimson Tempest for AoE dot and then FoK until 3x Rupture and then continue spamming CT?
garrote 1 garrote 2 garrote 3
Depends on your azerite traits
The basic question is do i always try to get 3 ruptures up in AoE situations and keep garrote rolling on cd so I always have enough energy or do you switch from multibleeding to spamming Crimson Tempest earlier?
p sure you only keep CT dot up and refresh when it's about to fall off
otherwise you just FOK
(with EB)
is CT even worth it in m+ anymore?
I run PB so I dunno
Wait so u just use CT for the debuff, not for the initial damage?
and fok instead?
Same
you blast with EB anyways
although pb is rng i still find it better than CT
CT doesn't even give energy regen so it's better to get a few ruptures up instead
yea but its an AoE dot that does quite some damage, just not sure how good a 5 cp CT is compared to a FoK with 2-3 EB
If you have eb traits, ct is not worth running
you get a chance to proc a PB on every rupture
so it evens out
and yeah, EB is enough anyways
Pb or even hb is better than ct
I it worth to drop CT even with 2 EB traits instead of 3 then?
Alright thank you guys for the insight, helped a lot
natural logic told me 5 cp spender must be stronger than a builder, BfA proved me wrong :^)
It's not weaker than fok probably
But adding pb proc to envenom, which you want to use on a prio target is more effective than just spam aoeing
Also pb has st value, unlike ct
yea its pretty hard to math it out but you have a lot less ramp uptime when not using CT because you can use your cp on rutpures that increase your energy regen for more FoK and even better Scent of Blood uptime (if you have it)
Pretty easy to math out that envenoming a prio target will save you more time than spam aoeing with ct
Hidden Blades is not a thing compared to PB on Fortified weeks?
Hello guys ! Could you tell me if there is any situation where a second NP if better than a third DD even though energy regen from NP do not stack ?
Single target where it will die shortly after vendetta ends is probably the only situation I can think of
Single target 25 second fights
Hello guys, What trait is best for m+/raid atm?
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
thats probably your best bet
i like running 3xEB 3xSS for m+ at the moment
I have 2xEB 3xSS and 1xTTK for M+
Works pretty well for me
But I think all the big boys go outlaw anyways :P
Not really
Depends on what else you have obv, but a standard dice/spyglass will be better
dice and deadeye?
Yes dice and Deadeye with high crit is very good
Assa and retri are very different, retri only does damage during their cooldowns. Assa essentially has no cooldowns and just do good damage all the time (for aoe purposes)
I'd rather have good sustained aoe than big and after cds nothing
Doesn't take that much time to get garrotes and rup
I mean we have decent burst too for prio targets
while doing some aoe
with no cds really needed
y
Hello good people. i have a question. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vubCoc4Ku8qp1krFRsM7Xr Looking at my current sim i feel like i am pretty low considering i have a pretty good setup regarding my traits and ilvl? Do you guys have any suggestions on where to improve my gear/traits?
Your azerites are decent. But you should ditch the SS trait on your helm for DD and specc MA
25k at 410 seems right but you should take DD on helm instead of SS
Just keep buying shoulders/chest and hope for gorak/ceph
Yeah i just like the ss/subt feeling of the spec so much better.. 😛
But would it make a big difference if i went for 3x dd and MA?
let me sim it.
and well, ilvl is a poor indication of how much damage you should be doing
Hmm hmm, what traits for M+ this week ...
ss, sob, eb - shouldn't vary too much
or you know, just play outlaw because it's fort/bolstering
I did 2x eb/ss/ttk last week might switch to 3x eb, 2x ss, 1x ttk or something
i only have 2 eb, so if you have access to another 1 alongside 2 ss
i can imagine that feels super good
so the latter combo would be 👌
i think i'm playing outlaw this week tho omegalul
I only play sin, so just have to make due. I do have a 3x eb, 2x ss, 1x ttk build with two 415 pieces so will prolly rock that
Same, but thats because im gonna DE all my assa m+ gear so i can buy my gorak tul shoulders for raid 😃
then refund them in a week or so when i've gotten the weekly redisuum ^^
eleem why would you focus so much on the gorak tul shoulders if i may?
When you play 2xSS, 2xEB, 2xSoB, how to you spend your CP on a huge pull like 10+ mobs? Do you just Rupture X targets and keep spamming FoK instead of using CP or is it still worth dps wise to envenom or keep rupturing?
They have NP and DD right?
hmm i'll look into it.
Simming about 1% higher than jadefire shoulders
But jadefire shoulders doesnt have overwhelming so they're not too good anyway
I was under the impression btw that the gore splatted chest was the best one to get from the vendor?
It doesnt have overwhelming power
Pretty overwhelming trait that one hehe
DD+BB is running better than DD+NP (stacked NP)
I always forget how much better overwhelming is that everything else
Its only slightly better than everything else in that row on jaina, which is the worst fight imaginable for op
@atomic saddle you mean for like reaping?
Or well, overall, gutripper is obv better for p3 dmg
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/npu1tWGqizfkvQS2738gJT @fluid mist
What I've found, would want overwhelming on shoulders aswell but Gutripper is fine for p3
@serene basin yea exactly
I'm not really raiding much, so focusing more on decent M+ gear if I can get it. I'm just filling on a few bosses for my group cause of my schedule. Trying to get my 415 weapons and that is about it.
