Enough dps to kill the boss

#

simself and try to reach that as close as possible

jolly spoke
#

lolol

#

i sim at 22kish just wonder what the standard is?

sturdy python
#

Just depends on fight

#

Check warcraftlogs for a break down I guess

heavy skiff
#

Check logs and see.ur rankings

jolly spoke
#

okay. im just held back by the Rng gods. havent got much upgrades in my weekly nor raid. so its a bummer

round harbor
#

Do m+

#

By far best source of gear

#

Imo

jolly spoke
#

ive been DYING for an upgraded Harlans lol

#

im rocking a 390

#

sorry

#

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?

dark crag
#

Dd ss np are all good

tender quail
#

same shit like uldir ?

dark crag
#

Kind of but now you can have 6 traits

tender quail
#

lol wtf, x3 DD, x3 SS ?

dark crag
#

Theoretically yes

#

But there are 2 builds now, ma and subter

tender quail
#

this is insane

dark crag
#

With 1 ss you go subter and without it, ma

tender quail
#

nice

#

I was checking logs... I saw only Shadow Priests and Warlocks at top ranks lol

dark crag
#

Yes

tender quail
#

last question, assassination is the best spec right now or it's depend on fights ?

dark crag
#

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

tender quail
#

thanks man

exotic rampart
#

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

tender quail
#

😮

#

no 3x SS for m+ ?

#

T_T

lament wagon
#

Can still run 3 ss, or just get az for an outlaw set and win

pale agate
#

between vendetta and NP, which is less bad for m+?

fleet whale
#

vendetta and NP... those are the same trait lol

#

i assume you mean NP and DD?

pale agate
#

err yes, brain fart

inner pecan
#

NP is slightly better for m+

#

But both are pretty bad

fleet whale
#

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

inner pecan
#

Problem with NP is it will absolutely annihilate a single target in a pack

#

Which isn't always what you want

fleet whale
#

for this week though it should be fine though to do that

inner pecan
#

You also don't use Vendetta on CD in m+ so the trait loses value

pale agate
#

thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍

stone crescent
#

Anyone here actually mastery gemming as their ilvl goes up or are you just sticking with haste cause simcraft says it's a sidegrade?

strange python
#

anything in sidegrade is unimportant tbh

grave elk
#

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?

dark crag
#

More/less haste

#

Np dot is haste boosted

grave elk
#

Oh .. so he must have higher haste then me for np value to be worth swapping

dark crag
#

Maybe

grave elk
#

Cuz I have like 10 ilvl son him

#

Hmm he has 3% less haste then me

dark crag
#

Its all kind of factors not just haste

humble crane
#

Been away for a month overseas for field work. Been waiting for zandalari for ages. Can't believe they are so poo for assass 😰

fleet whale
#

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

humble crane
#

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 😂

strange python
#

blood elf

#

the best race

humble crane
#

0.7%

#

That's huge!

fleet whale
#

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

humble crane
#

Yeah but the ranged in my guild are legit trash 😂

#

Melee carrying our guild in jaina for sure

fleet whale
#

but it's your money to spend, do what you will with it

humble crane
#

I wanna spend it but it's not worth the Dps loss =(. I'll just race change my shaman instead

strange python
#

racial dps means nothing to world top 10

#

nor world first

#

only utility

honest iris
#

what dungeons is sin better for in m+

#

kr and what else

strange python
#

shrine

rancid bobcat
#

i dont think you take assassination even to those unless your outlaw set is just bad

fleet whale
#

i mean you could play assassination in any dungeon if you want to

strange python
#

sin in shrine is wonderful

#

with iron wire

fleet whale
#

but yeah, iron wire is great in shrine

strange python
#

Dad takes sin to shrine and kr

#

dunno about anything else

rancid bobcat
#

top shrine runs are all still outlaw

#

not that bleeding edge can be applied to everyone

cobalt gyro
#

I take assassination to shrine/kr/temple

#

And every dungeon if there's already one outlaw and it isn't motherlode

ruby idol
#

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

cobalt gyro
#

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

ruby idol
#

Ya i mesn 2eb 2ss 2ttk is pretty versatile if you want to only play assa

#

Fits decent everywhere

grave elk
#

I def like sin better there’s something great about fok into rupturing the whole pack lol

ruby idol
#

Its good enough that youre certainly not throwing by playing sin if its what you like

grave elk
#

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

ruby idol
#

Even Atal and WC which i think are like perfect outlaw dungeons, sin can be just fine, albeit slightly suboptimal

cobalt gyro
#

atal is really only not a great dgn for sin because there's so many pulls with mobs that just melt

ruby idol
#

Just run heavy ttk and blast skyscreamers

grave elk
#

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

ruby idol
#

Take dungeon slice with a grain of salt imo

grave elk
#

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

ruby idol
#

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

grave elk
#

Yeah I just couldn’t decide how much I try to improve st dmg verse pumping more aoe

ruby idol
#

When in doubt favor aoe

grave elk
#

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

gilded sorrel
#

Anyone any data on best leveling loa buff for zandalari trolls who play assass rogue>?

modern isle
#

Hey peeps. at ish how many mobs is it worth to just spam FoK? with 2-3 EB

little sinew
#

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.

fair blaze
#

@modern isle with these many EB stacks, you want to use FoK at 2+ target : )

inner pecan
#

@little sinew use it on CD

#

it naturally lines up with your Vendetta, nothing complicated about it

little sinew
#

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?

inner pecan
#

It's basically a worse version of Galecaller's

#

But you don't get the positional requirement

fair blaze
#

You don't need to stay in it atleast 😄

little sinew
#

Yeah, that was the benefit, no doubt

#

Anyways, thanks 😃

inner pecan
#

Trinket is kind of irrelevant because it's not farmable at any decent ilvl

#

But it's good for new characters/alts for sure

modern isle
#

@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?

fair blaze
#

Are you talking about raid scenario or m+ scenario?

scarlet hinge
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
modern isle
#

ah. only m+

fair blaze
#

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

modern isle
#

perfect! exactly what i wanted to know! thanks ❤

fair blaze
#

Your welcome

#

@modern isle Remember to Vanish while fighting 6+ enemies :D, because SS probably still will do more dmg than your FoK spam

modern isle
#

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

is it worth multi dotting both bosses on conclave for energy regen

Nah

#

its not worth

i'm wondering if rupturing only before a TB for the extra energy for more globals in TB is worth it

#

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

strange python
#

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.

solid nova
#

Depends on more than that, have you got the sim?

stuck knoll
#

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)

uneven summit
#

Everything points towards blightborne being alittle stronger than shown by charts etc, any info on this?

shy axle
#

it`s good. As well as DD/NP/TC and even SS (not optimal tough). Perfectly fine to use it

green vapor
#

any tips for mythic rastaman?

spice surge
#

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

green vapor

Yeah it's our second night progressing on him, thank you!

hallow coyote
#

Does anyone actually use Nightstalker?

fleet whale
#

as assassination? you shouldn't

hallow coyote
#

Yeah I can't think of a scenario in group content where I would want it over the other options

fleet whale
#

it's pretty much a dead talent right now, but who knows what the future holds for it

winter orchid
#

Rupture in pandemic with 4 or 5 CP?

bleak spoke
#

7.2s with 5 cp 5.4s with 4

#

Anything under that is fine as long as rupture doesn’t drop off

winter orchid
#

Thanks

naive cypress
#

Should I spec Outlaw for Opulence progress?

near pilot
#

I've been wondering the samething

#

sin gets guardian down better outlaw obv melts adds

#

depends on what your guild struggle with?

fleet whale
#

if you're on ruby duty Assassination is better imo

hallow coyote
#

FoK+EB ruled for the boss adds

near pilot
#

how many EB's? like is one enough?

smoky fiber
#

if youre on ruby duty i dont see how assassination is better than outlaw with its lower apm

#

pretty sure thats a wrong statement

bleak spoke
#

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

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.

dark crag
#

More crits, more cp, more finisher, more fluid gameplay

pastel vault
#

Dungeon slice was updated?

heavy skiff
#

Im at 35% crit 4 m+ xD

shadow agate
#

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?

heavy skiff
#

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

shadow agate
#

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

heavy skiff
#

If.u get 3xeb HB is rly good on fort weeks

#

But on tyr i just go pb

#

Depends on dg too

shadow agate

Alright. Thanks! Def gonna test some things

are people playing assassin or outlaw for king rak prog?

what makes the gold on opulence increase in size

is it a move i can look for on dbm?

strange python
#

the shit you gotta soak

#

ye

#

ok

#

ty

steep obsidian
#

its way too big to not proc cheat

pale agate
#

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.

steep obsidian
#

it depends on your comp

shy axle
#

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

steep obsidian
#

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

pale agate
#

I guess I just never have shitty cleave, even though I only do pugs there's almost always 1 other pumping big numbers

steep obsidian
#

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

heavy skiff
#

@shy axle tb then env

shy axle
#

thanks

heavy skiff
#

Np

halcyon falcon
#

@heavy skiff why TB then Env at 5cp?

#

as in..why waste the CP?

heavy skiff
#

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

halcyon falcon
#

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

heavy skiff
#

Yep

#

Try. Not to get into that situation tho

cobalt gyro
#

General idea behind

#

Tb On cooldown

#

You just use it, if you waste a cp at least you get a 5cp env

heavy skiff
#

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

pale agate
#

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?

shy axle
#

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.

heavy skiff
#

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

strange python
#

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?

Yes

but stop talking about sub because admins will be mad

heavy skiff
#

Yep ur right

#

Richard sees everlything

#

Hey madve 1q tho

#

Why did u play outlaw over sin on mekka?

carmine solstice
#

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

heavy skiff
#

Yep ok ty

pale agate
#

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?

stable pine
#

I usually have at least 3 rupts up depending on pack size and affix sometimes I have 4 up

pale agate
#

you get the 3 rupts up before using TB?

stable pine
#

No I use to TB as combo builder for second rupt

pale agate
#

ah

#

ok, so dont need to worry about TB window on opener?

midnight yarrow

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?

Yea why not

#

I macro it to vendetta in the opener

#

And then i just use it on cd

Is the Exsanguinate build the best go to right now?

class design

#

no it isnt

blazing kayak
#

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

spice surge
#

patchwerk, 1 target, 5 mins and nightly

#

For a singletarget sim

#

Which will answer your question, but almost certainly toxic blade

blazing kayak
#

what about subterfuge/master assassin?

#

ive seen that alotta rogues run master assasin in raid

lethal heart
#

with shrouded probably subterfuge

spice surge
#

If you have SS traits you have to use subterfuge

lethal heart
#

but sim it

#

subterfuge you mean

blazing kayak
#

ok thats good?

spice surge
#

Yes

blazing kayak
#

@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?

distant helm
#

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

blazing kayak
#

i should be at like 30 crit huh?

#

is 15 haste good?

distant helm
#

i assume thats for mythic+?

blazing kayak
#

nah for raid

#

i simmed myself for single target 5 minute fight and those are the stats i got

distant helm
#

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

spice surge
#

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

distant helm
#

besides on rings imo

#

cause they give stamina instead of agi

spice surge
#

Well, you still take the ring that sims the highest

distant helm
#

ye

#

just meant socket rings 400 itemlvl often sim way higher than 420 rings without sockets

#

or with bad stats

blazing kayak
#

i feel like id have a prty rouh time in raid with 15 haste 23 crit

grave elk
#

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

nimble tartan
#

Just gettin the cd rolling no point in delaying just for the vanish

golden relic
#

u pop vendetta on CD if you are gna use it no matter the CPs so

grave elk
#

Yeah but even at opener he uses tb before vanish

golden relic
#

only thing u have to hold is TB maybe for the vanish window

grave elk
#

i thought opener always tb after vanish

golden relic
#

and u will have it in the vendetta window anyway

nimble tartan
#

Usually pop vendetta after the initial bleed setup in the opener

golden relic
#

if u use it on CD

#

so it doesnt matter

#

i TB before vanish always

nimble tartan
#

I do tb b4 vanish I prefer that play

golden relic
#

its not much of a difference

grave elk
#

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

golden relic
#

once

grave elk
#

ah ok. trying to work at dummy to work on figuring out how to pool energy before TB comes up

On Aoe with 3xSS 1xNP 1xEB 1xSoB .. Do I spread rupture after the first crimson to get my SoB stacks?

#

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.

rose loom
#

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

rancid bobcat
#

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?

solid nova

Yes for part 1, up to you for part 2, both are good.

Oh ok very well, i love assassination

#

Thanks anyway

#

@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

fringe lily
#

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

round harbor
#

Exactly what u just said

drifting cloud
#

I ditched gcb, its probably only always better on 1-2 fights at max

round harbor
#

Same

drifting cloud
#

its too unreliable

round harbor
#

Plum u just macro to vendetta and forgot that you have it on

drifting cloud
#

ist not bad, its just not worth the hassle imo

fringe lily
#

Yeah, this is what I figured. Thanks for the thoughts

drifting cloud
#

theres still top logs with it, but its the minority

#

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

bronze kelp
#

nope no downside

strange python
#

so the ideal is to refresh it basically with as little time remaining as possible?

#

0 ofc

solid nova
#

As long as you refresh within your pandemic timings its fine mate

lament dove
#

just refresh it anywhere in the pandemic window when it's good for you

vast forum
#

It makes no difference if you refresh at 0.1 or max pandemic

strange python
#

awesome, thanks!

worldly iron
#

if you have empowered garrotes you refresh when it falls off

vast forum
#

If you have any empowered bleeds you let them run out before refreshing

strange python
#

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

worldly iron
#

if you can pool energy for tb without capping that's good

#

don't mutilate at 4cp though

rugged jetty
#

stay be or go zandi ;/?

solid nova
#

Makes little to zero difference, personal preference.

ruby oxide
#

Big F for my buddy who just killed mythic opulence as a troll (->nightelf) and didn't know shadowmeld activated subterfuge

solid nova
#

It doesnt

#

You get empowered garrote, but not subt

ruby oxide
#

That!

golden relic
opaque relic
#

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.

solid nova
#

Thats the only way it works yes 😄

#

The difference over the length of a fight isnt going to be massive either way

opaque relic
#

Wow what an important information, considering I'm gonna progress mythic opulence with my guild tonight :-D. Thank you

solid nova
#

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

It's kinda meh honestly

More value in m+

cobalt gyro
#

Being able to vanish for damage and still meld mechanics is some busted shit

worldly iron
#

I wish I liked night elf the most feelsyarrman

#

would be neat with shrouded suffocation

#

minor, but neat

strange python
#

Meld with SS is massive in M+ tho

worldly iron
#

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

misty shuttle
#

I restealth aft meld. Full reset

worldly iron
#

oh, that's dope

strange python
#

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

misty shuttle
#

Not always but it can work

#

Yes

strange python
#

Allways if you stealth the moment you meld

misty shuttle
#

U explained what I ment

strange python
#

Even if you get out of stealth you still had a 0.01 sec "real stealth"

#

= you get subt

sturdy python
#

In bosses you can meld>garrote and get SS trait value on it

#

Just not subt empowerment

worldly iron
#

yeah, that was established, I just thought it was the same for regular ol' packs

#

still neat

#

or just human trinket any stuns PirateHeart

strange python
#

I'm running TB + MA, should I be pooling for max envenom uptime or max EP uptime?

heavy skiff
#

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

strange python
#

how much energy do you pool before tb

heavy skiff
#

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 😃

worldly iron
#

stabby stab

#

currently progressing on him with 13% as the best attempt so far

#

he's way easier than I imagined

pseudo finch
#

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

worldly iron
#

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

cobalt gyro
#

Trampling as in normal size or like being giant

worldly iron
#

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

pseudo finch
#

1st time i was giant, 2nd time someone was small and i was normal

cobalt gyro
#

If you're giant ppl need to make way

pseudo finch
#

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

cobalt pelican
#

generally as a rogue tehre's no good reason to move as giant

worldly iron
#

I hate being trapped by two ranged standing super close to me when I'm giant besad

cobalt pelican
#

save cloak for the buster, tank with feint if you have to

pseudo finch
#

Holy pally is literally the only person withing even 10-15 yards of me

cobalt pelican
#

there's not really a good reason to be moving

#

trampling small people as a normal person is also kinda just.. hard to do

pseudo finch
#

but ya true didn't actually think of tanking with feint

cobalt pelican
#

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

pseudo finch
#

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

round harbor
#

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

pseudo finch
#

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

round harbor
#

You typically want to lust as the fire from intermission are fading away

cobalt pelican
#

you want to enter intermission just after bombs are about to clear usually

#

what time that is depends a lot on your gruop

cobalt gyro
#

@round harbor we wiped to that combo at 1% 4 times

pseudo finch
#

When we were casting lust there was around 3-4 seconds until bombs were about to be cast

round harbor
#

Yeah it's rough. Same we have 3 zero percent wipes due to it

pseudo finch
#

so when the debuff when out 3 people would have to run away during lust

cobalt pelican
#

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

round harbor
#

Or just 4 heal 😁

dark crag
#

Clear polys with bombs?

round harbor
#

I actually don't know lol

cobalt pelican
#

yes bomb everyone who is polymorphed

#

it's a perfect strat

round harbor
#

monkaS

dark crag
#

1 bomb in raid is wipe

round harbor
#

How does one bomb the polys

cobalt pelican
#

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

round harbor
#

Yeah but what we are saying is that isn't always as easy as that

#

Since knock up and polys are random

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

round harbor
#

Then just rng then

#

Do dungeons that give daggers

solid linden
#

doing it, guess unlucky

#

I still have a 370 GCB and 370 Harlans because rng hates me for trinkets. So yeah, just unlucky dude.

idle ember
#

I didn't get a max level GCB until the middle of Feb. Farming from the start. You'll get there. eventually

lost sentinel
#

I like GCB but tanks love to move the moment I pop it

dark crag
#

Yell "STOP Hammertime"

lost sentinel
#

it should be an animation others can see, so they know when it's up

strange python
#

i got kinda lucky with trinkets

#

405 socket ivus, 400 gcb, 400 spyglass same week

lost sentinel
#

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

desert vault
#

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

warped gate
#

feint doesn't reduce damage from freezing tidepool on stormwall, is that correct?

cold saffron
#

if you talent elusiveness it does but i’m not sure about if you don’t

hollow stone
#

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

oblique smelt
#

what does MA Poison build opener look like with troll racial

warped gate
#

sure but dps isn't an issue for us so might as well use the energy to mitigate tidepool ticks if possible

heady loom
#

Does multiple SS, DD, and/or NP traits stack?

mint peak
#

All of the damage stacks

#

The combo points and energy regen parts don't

heady loom

gilded sorrel
#

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

mint peak
#

Yes

round harbor
#

I mean for leveling garrote mut rup is probly more than enough to kill any mob

mint peak
#

I assumed he meant in 5 mans levelling because yeah normal questing you're prob killing stuff in a few seconds anyways

storm pilot
#

u delay vendetta+vanish for first multi sided strike at jadefire?

spice surge
#

Depends on where you lust and your kill times

#

If delaying means you miss out on a vendetta cast then don't

idle vigil
#

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

dawn root
#

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.

round harbor
#

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

dawn root
#

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

#

Do you guys think it'd be a good choice for certain situations with a lot of movement?

lone junco
#

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%

lone junco
#

I wish I had the mongo crit trinkets. But it's what I have.

mongo crit?

dead-eye?

lone junco
#

The mekatorque and spyglass are good examples.

For m+. Specifically

Ya, I got dead eye 😄

#

got it from M+ chest, insane luck

gilded sorrel
#

Gz @full pagoda

#

Question: sometimes mutilate gives me 4 cp. not sure if it’s because of mutilate only.

#

Anyone have an idea why?

lone junco
#

When you crit. You get double cps.

#

So mut. Tb. FOK. Etc.

#

Mut is 2 or 4

spice surge
#

2/3/4

strange python
#

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?

serene basin
#

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

spice surge
#

Double dose is not good

#

For m+

sullen pagoda
#

Dd in m+ lol what

#

Even np is yikers

spice surge
#

Twist is good, double dose is not

serene basin
#

well of course

but i'm not sure everyone has access to the perfect 3ss 3eb pieces

#

like I myself, do not

sullen pagoda
#

ye but DD and NP oof

strange python
#

Yer for that setup I have to drop a bit of ilvl on the Azerite down to a couple of 380 pieces

like massively tbh

they asked me to 🤷

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

nimble tartan
#

My ass was pocket typing

dire dragon
#

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

sturdy python
#

Youll usually use TB pretty much always except maybe M+

dire dragon
#

Ok, thank you

swift prism
#

It sims higher most often, but I think it comes down to preference in regards to playstyle tbh

cobalt gyro
#

Even m+ tb isn't awful

#

At least when I simmed exsang and TB didn't affect my damage at all

swift prism
#

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

A little slow on the uptake even.

atomic saddle
#

Still not sure when to use Shrouded suff and when Echoing Blades become better, can anyone clarify?

lone junco
#

@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.

golden relic
#

depends on the dungeon, alot of trash = EB , less trash = SS , if u want a simple answer

lone junco
#

if your tank is a bitch and pulls pack by back SS is great.

atomic saddle
#

So for freehold +12 EB will pull ahead I guess

lone junco
#

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.

atomic saddle
#

Thanks got a much clearer picture of it now.

lone junco
#

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

atomic saddle
#

definitely appropriate reaction I must admint ;D

swift prism
#

Yes

#

Hit him with a fish

atomic saddle
#

would prob burn his house, too

swift prism
#

Yeah, so you could have cooked fish.

dark crag
#

When they do that i ask them to stop, if they don't after 3 times, i just leave

strange python
#

i can't play sin in m+ because tanks refuse to have me in mind when they pull

swift prism
#

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"

strange python
#

oh yikes that's an instant quit from me

swift prism

I was like ... okay then you can heal more since my dps will be low as fuck

this tbh

swift prism
#

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

you're an (actually viable) sub rogue

this was the iffrence in koji's sim coming from ss (prio damage)

the meld 3 is discount though

not sure if melt allowes stealth in the sim

cobalt gyro
#

if you're not in a boss

#

you can

lone junco
#

neat.

civic palm
#

It's only present in the Dungeon Slice IIRC so probably doesn't account for meld on bosses and on trash.

vestal wren
#

ye for that sim def. not as it has more targets up for the fight

cobalt gyro
#

kidna busted

vestal wren
#

but not sure with dungeon slice

#

i know it allowes restalth between backs, but melt

civic palm
#

FoK | ENV also doesn't require 200 targets.

vestal wren
#

ye

civic palm
#

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.

vestal wren
#

i am not sure tbh

cobalt gyro
#

also means you can be a bit more flexible with vanish uses

lone junco
#

anything that allows chain pulls is more flexible than ss.

#

like blade flurry

vestal wren
#

mystler was saying it does, so you right

civic palm
#

👌

round harbor
#

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

primal gazelle
#

Chainpulling for outlaw = no prepot, no fishing for good buffs before next pull, no letting bf recharge

round harbor
#

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.

cobalt gyro
#

in m+ you never wanna be fighting just 1 mob

tho in some cases ya just finiush it off

Good for Raids, bad for M+.

tender frost
#

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?

civic palm
#

Yes.

hallow coyote
#

DD rules in raids, 3 of them are among the best possible ST combination

round harbor
#

That scores thing is no where near accurate

tender frost
#

explain.

round harbor
#

Traits have different synergy with different stats that you have, and different azerites/talents that you may have or use

tender frost
#

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?

civic palm
#

no

#

No?

#

No, I think no.

crystal vessel
#

Its physical damage.

marble hemlock
#

honestly no idea. theres not that many physical spells anymore that you can actually dodge with evasion

#

my gut says no

crystal vessel
#

I am pretty sure it works. I used it once. I dont know if I had an external or not.

#

Ill check and see.

marble hemlock
#

would definitely be good to know

civic palm
#

It's a big fat no, IMO.

marble hemlock
#

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 😦

civic palm
#

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?

civic palm
#

Depends on comp mostly.

coral meadow
#

prob 3 EB an SS and like NP/TTK/TC

civic palm
#

But that seems fine.

marble hemlock
#

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

civic palm
#

If you are ST then 3xEB | 3xTtK , if you are not sure SSx3 | EBx3

#

Fucking just run 2 | 2 | 2 > _>

round harbor
#

Just run 6 eb tbh

Tape 2 SIN Rogues together, back to back.

winter moss
#

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?

There u go

@round harbor well doesnt help me at all, appreciate the effort tho

Does Nothing Personal stack and if so which part x-x

low junco
#

from what i know

#

it stacks

worldly iron
#

yes, damage

low junco
#

damage part

#

the dot thingy idk

upper oyster
#

hmm

#

So Thunderous blast Vs a 2nd stack of Nothing personal

#

🤔

winter moss

simming is the answer

upper oyster
#

Simlatorcraft?

#

Or where exactly xD?

low junco
#

there are tutorials on youtube on how to use the site

#

its pretty easy

#

once u get what u should do

dawn sentinel
#

Does scent of blood ever see any use at all for m+?

vast forum
#

Ideally, no

#

But if you have no better choice in the slot, it's fine

dawn sentinel
#

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

vast forum
#

Ttk is your best pick for m+ if used properly

#

Well after eb

heavy skiff
#

Any mix between ttk eb and ss is.good

winter moss
#

avg cpm on m jaina around 52 as sin

#

how

vast forum
#

Cpm counts muti as 2 casts iirc

winter moss
#

ah ic

#

thanks for the really quick answer

#

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?

golden relic
#

garrote 1 garrote 2 garrote 3

distant helm
#

Depends on your azerite traits

atomic saddle
#

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?

worldly iron
#

p sure you only keep CT dot up and refresh when it's about to fall off

#

otherwise you just FOK

#

(with EB)

strange python
#

is CT even worth it in m+ anymore?

worldly iron
#

I run PB so I dunno

atomic saddle
#

Wait so u just use CT for the debuff, not for the initial damage?

#

and fok instead?

worldly iron
#

I find CT to be pretty lackluster

#

yeah, just the dot

distant helm
#

Same

worldly iron
#

you blast with EB anyways

strange python
#

although pb is rng i still find it better than CT

worldly iron
#

CT doesn't even give energy regen so it's better to get a few ruptures up instead

atomic saddle
#

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

vast forum
#

If you have eb traits, ct is not worth running

worldly iron
#

you get a chance to proc a PB on every rupture

#

so it evens out

#

and yeah, EB is enough anyways

vast forum
#

Pb or even hb is better than ct

atomic saddle
#

I it worth to drop CT even with 2 EB traits instead of 3 then?

vast forum
#

Yes

#

You can check any high assa rogue

#

No1 runs ct anymore

atomic saddle
#

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 :^)

vast forum
#

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

atomic saddle
#

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)

vast forum
#

Pretty easy to math out that envenoming a prio target will save you more time than spam aoeing with ct

atomic saddle
#

Hidden Blades is not a thing compared to PB on Fortified weeks?

vast forum
#

Hb is viable too

#

Probably only with 3eb tho

#

Depends on dungeon and affixes

leaden scroll
#

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 ?

sturdy python
#

Single target where it will die shortly after vendetta ends is probably the only situation I can think of

vast forum
#

Single target 25 second fights

#

Hello guys, What trait is best for m+/raid atm?

night vale
#

thats probably your best bet

#

i like running 3xEB 3xSS for m+ at the moment

stable oxide
#

I have 2xEB 3xSS and 1xTTK for M+

#

Works pretty well for me

#

But I think all the big boys go outlaw anyways :P

winter gale
#

Is 415 yulon any good for m+?

#

Sim it on dungeonslice?

spice surge
#

Not really

winter gale
#

I assumed that @spice surge

#

It sims worse than gale and 385 dice

spice surge
#

Depends on what else you have obv, but a standard dice/spyglass will be better

winter gale
#

dice and deadeye?

strange python
#

Yes dice and Deadeye with high crit is very good

pastel crow
#

How are u guys compared to playing with a retri?

#

Equal or usually over?

spice surge
#

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)

pastel crow
#

Thats What i Thought lol. I Feel like garbage on my retri without crusadd

#

Crusade

real bay
#

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

#

fluid mist
spice surge
#

Your azerites are decent. But you should ditch the SS trait on your helm for DD and specc MA

mint peak
#

25k at 410 seems right but you should take DD on helm instead of SS

spice surge
#

Just keep buying shoulders/chest and hope for gorak/ceph

fluid mist
#

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.

spice surge
#

and well, ilvl is a poor indication of how much damage you should be doing

desert vault
#

Hmm hmm, what traits for M+ this week ...

serene basin
#

ss, sob, eb - shouldn't vary too much

#

or you know, just play outlaw because it's fort/bolstering

desert vault
#

I did 2x eb/ss/ttk last week might switch to 3x eb, 2x ss, 1x ttk or something

serene basin
#

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

desert vault
#

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

spice surge
#

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 ^^

fluid mist
#

eleem why would you focus so much on the gorak tul shoulders if i may?

spice surge
#

Because they are by far the best shoulders

#

For ST

atomic saddle
#

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?

fluid mist
#

They have NP and DD right?

wanton pond
#

sorry whats TTK?

#

twist the knife?

spice surge
#

DD+Blightborne+overwhelming

#

yes

fluid mist
#

hmm i'll look into it.

spice surge
#

Simming about 1% higher than jadefire shoulders

#

But jadefire shoulders doesnt have overwhelming so they're not too good anyway

fluid mist
#

I was under the impression btw that the gore splatted chest was the best one to get from the vendor?

spice surge
#

It doesnt have overwhelming power

fluid mist
#

Pretty overwhelming trait that one hehe

desert vault
#

DD+BB is running better than DD+NP (stacked NP)

fluid mist
#

i got ceph on my dh alt that i never play

#

feelsbad.

desert vault
#

I always forget how much better overwhelming is that everything else

spice surge
#

Its only slightly better than everything else in that row on jaina, which is the worst fight imaginable for op

serene basin
#

@atomic saddle you mean for like reaping?

spice surge
#

Or well, overall, gutripper is obv better for p3 dmg

crisp shard
atomic saddle
#

@serene basin yea exactly

desert vault
#

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.

serene basin
#

so if there are 10-ish mobs

#

I would definitely get out at least 3-4 ruptures, while spamming FoK

#

then spend the CP on envenom

#

but if you have like, 30-40 reaping mobs

spice surge
#

If its reaping and they're gonna die fast

#

Just put one rupture on a low hp target
