#

do you hold vendetta for 4th exsang always

#

or is it worth just saving 3rd exsang for vendetta

solar rose
#

It also feeds into your energy at the start of packs so you can get bleeds out faster

bleak spoke
#

if the fight's not like 2:45-3 mins

#

but like 2:20ish

solar rose
#

Depends if the boss will die or not.

bleak spoke
#

cuz i'm not playing high enough keys where the boss fights all last super long (like in 18s/19s they're still dying at that really awkward spot)

#

so basically always just make sure i vendetta twice?

solar rose
#

in the 18/19 tyrannical range you should be reliably getting 2 sets of vendettas yeah.

#

When is the optimal time to use vanish on opener using MA build

worldly iron
#

if you want consistency

#

I prefer to cast TB before vanish and hope for mutilate crits to fit 2 envenoms in the MA window

round tree
#

Thanks!

#

On 2 boss fights is it a dps gain to keep dots up on both bosses or just tunneling one target

willow chasm
#

both

#

Hey, I have a question - just started assassin and am really enjoying it, just wondering how you are all keeping track of the bleeds and who has them/who hasnt, are you using default interfaces, elvui, some weakauras etc

#

But don't they clutter up the screen If you're fighting against a huge pack of mobs? That's why I always have them disabled

worldly iron
#

nameplates makes everything easier to keep track of, including enemies during big pulls

#

yeah, I have them stack

#

but you can find stacking cluttering as well, depending on how you feel

#

but to me it feels really clear when I can see everything exactly

sharp gazelle
#

Ohhh okay, it's an addon called nameplates?

worldly iron
#

I use elvui

#

everything is pretty much included in elvui

sharp gazelle
#

Okay then I'll try fiddling around with the elvui nameplates when I get home, thank you guys!

round tree
#

Is it optimal to refresh dots before using 2nd vendetta?

bronze kelp
#

i use plater nameplates

#

highly customizable, but also bit hard if you are new to this topic

#

cause it has a lot of settings u can adjust

#

but has one advantage: scripts via comunnity

#

you can for example add a different color for every mob class (e.g. casters, high HP mobs, must-interrupt mobs)

#

i got a color for hard low hp mobs, so that I'm not rupturing them

sharp gazelle
#

Nice, thanks! And last stupid question - do you switch between targets with tab and just rupture them etc and then tab back to the main target?

bronze kelp
#

also nameplate answer 😉

#

i try to rupture mid hp mobs for energy reg, and then switch to the most important target back

#

tabbing is an option, both as tab targeting is not 100% perfect you can end up with being stuck on tabbing

#

nameplates let you simple choose and if you got the adjusted to your needs they are the most important thing for you

night vale
#

yeah my reaping goes like this; G > G > G > Ruptre > Fok > Rupture > Fok > Rupture > Fok * infinity

bronze kelp
#

why fok after triple garrote ?

night vale
#

yeah mb rupture!

bronze kelp
#

^^

worldly iron
#

@round tree more or less. don't think I'm the best person to answer that, but you pretty much want as many envenoms as possible during TB in your vendetta

bronze kelp
#

yes you want that

sharp gazelle
#

Thank you @bronze kelp , @hollow wraith and @worldly iron

bronze kelp
#

no problem 😃

worldly iron
#

refreshing bleeds is ok during TB but you really don't want that most of the time, especially not in your vendetta TBs

bronze kelp
#

you need to plan your TB window a bit

worldly iron
#

and you don't want to delay TB enough to lose a cast during any fight

#

if avoidable, of course

bronze kelp
#

you want to refresh bleeds before, and got ideally have 4 CP before vendetta

worldly iron
#

yeah

bronze kelp
#

then start vendetta window with TB and after that spend and build with envenom and mutilate only

worldly iron
#

vendetta -> tb -> vanish -> envenom is something I would do

bronze kelp
#

in raid environment yes

#

vendetta -> vanish -> tb is also okay, cause tb does good dmg too

round tree
#

Thanks for the advice, it’s just that I kinda know that it is how it’s suppose to play but watching top rogue videos and streams they rarely go above 50 energy

worldly iron
#

yeah, it's totally fine to tb in the MA window, I posted the consistent way earlier

bronze kelp
#

yeah cause usually you never delay TB

worldly iron
#

I just like to go for those juicy double envenom crits

bronze kelp
#

the delay is worse cause you maybe lose a full tb duration or two over the whole encounter

#

thats why i like the m+ ttk build with high crit 😃

worldly iron
#

my biggest envenom crit in a raid encounter was 98k on an opener when I had 2x TTK

#

bad luck with azerite pieces so I went with SS and TTK for a long time feelsyarrman

#

not MA, though, just a regular crit

round tree
#

Have to say I’m impressed with the rogue discord, probably the best class one. Y’all are awesome

bronze kelp
#

😉

#

got a lot of time at work, so im here to learn for myself and help others 😃

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.

past spruce
#

I put my priority at mastery>haste>crit i am normaly at 36 % mastery 17% haste 23%crit this because i am still a noob and i may be wrong but it makes sence since a lot of the fights have disconnects and so i spec in to master poisoner for more sustained dmg...
But like i said 3 months playing 2h a day at most equals to total casual noobie trash so wht do ik right?

worldly iron
#

always sim yourself, and you'd have to have a nuts amount of mastery in order for master poisoner to be good

#

elaborate planning is just generally better

past spruce
#

In a perfect cenario yea absolutly i cant really say nothing about high raiding m+ because i aint getting a chance to do any

#

Game aint noob friendly...or better the comunity

heavy skiff
#

I would go ep too

worldly iron
#

pretty much no one goes MP since it's straight up worse than EP

past spruce
#

Game is ez enough ppl dont wanna have noobs in the group anywas yea ep better if you can keep the buff up 100 % the time but i mostly pvp when i do group content and there is a diffrent ball game at least from my point of view

worldly iron
#

no you don't even need to keep it up 100%, that's impossible

#

MP is good for pvp as far as I'm aware

#

you just want to pool and use mutilate during the EP window

#

and envenom in TB window with EP if possible

tropic ocean
#

100% ep the dream

heavy skiff
#

Only way is aoe

worldly iron
#

m+ feels nice when you've got EP rolling all the time PirateHeart

tropic ocean
#

i will tell my raid to constantly get 2-3 ppl blocked next to jaina for ep uptime

worldly iron
#

I won't have to tell them kappat

#

they'll all be popsicles whether I want them to or not

tropic ocean
#

😄

#

i know the feeling

worldly iron
#

imagine the parse if every single popsicle would bleed all the time PiratePoggers

golden relic
night vale
#

Doesn’t say on wowhead but apparently commenters say quite high

#

Let me see if anyone is using one on warcraftlogs

golden relic
#

Tried it over 2 min on 3 targets and the uptime was 58% to dead-eye spyglasses 38%

#

seems to be able to proc back to back

marble hemlock
#

if thats the equivalent to the razor leaf trinket only for alliance

#

the uptime can be anywhere from 70 to 20%

#

i looked up razorleaf procrate back when the boss first came around, and it seemed to have a decently high procrate, but there was still plenty of logs with very bad uptime on it

golden relic
#

na it isnt

#

its the world quest one

#

from tortollan

marble hemlock
#

ah okay

lament dove
#

razorleaf is a 16 sec proc

marble hemlock
#

tru

severe current
#

The thing is, yes, with good play EP will be a lot better, but there is no easy way to evaluate things like 'not pooling right' so i can relate to the MP decision

worldly iron
#

but MP is just bad feelsyarrman

lament dove
#

don't forget that MP only gives dmg to deadly poison, while EP is for everything

worldly iron
#

^

night vale
#

75%ish uptime on EP is probably about right yeah?

marble hemlock
#

ye

worldly iron
#

pretty much

#

used our last grong kill as an example since it's pretty straight forward and I had 74%

severe current
#

Iirc sim told me i loose 1.5% if i'd go MP... maybe it's my gear, but loosing less than 1.5% (since EP not perfectly played) for ease of use i can see some people getting better results with MP

cobalt gyro
#

@golden relic get advanced tooltips, shows a lot of procrates right on your tooltips

worldly iron
#

I mean you don't need to play perfectly for EP to still be better

#

and all you really need to do is fit two mutilates in most of the EPs

#

at least with DD

#

if you lose 1.5% according to a sim, you'll probably lose a lot more in a real fight without the EP buffing all of your damage sources

golden relic
#

@cobalt gyro PiratePoggers ty didnt kno about that , pretty nice

worldly iron
#

but don't quote me on that, I'm no wizard besad

willow chasm
#

What's ep stand for?

worldly iron
#

elaborate planning

#

So guys, I have a 406 ilvl and average about 27-30k dps in a m+. I am trying to find a way to push higher than a +17 but everytime I try an 18 we barely fail. I am wondering if I am fucking up somewhere maybe azerite. Does anyone average higher than this in high keys? Maybe I can look at their armory and see where I am going wrong.

severe current
#

That's what i'm interested in. I can't really believe, that these 1.5% (for me at least) hold that much against 'not caring about ep'

heavy skiff
#

@empty badge on high keys its not that much of overall dps

#

Its bout efficient dps

#

If u hit masive aoe and ur dh does the same.thing

#

U can kill everything but high hp adds still alive

#

Or bosses take way to long to die

empty badge
#

Yeah my problem is single target I am fairly confident.

#

Am I not meant for good single target? just like average single target?

#

Its not bad its just, average

heavy skiff
#

I run 3xss and that carrys my st

#

And its rly good on most dung

cosmic prism
#

whats the fastest way to get good daggers? im having no luck

heavy skiff
#

M+

vestal wren
#

pvp maybe

bronze kelp
#

Farm m+

vague patrol
#

if good means 400 then definitely m+

cosmic prism
#

yeah im doing m+ now but the chance to get a dagger is pretty low

heavy skiff
#

Do higher m+ so u get more gear of it xD

bronze kelp
#

I got on one day on 5 runs 4 daggers, so it's just rng

heavy skiff
#

I have like 7 daggers

cosmic prism
#

what + do u start getting more loot? just got back into the game so only 385 ilvl

empty badge
#

@heavy skiff I am running 3 SS.

heavy skiff
#

I use a 410 and a 400 soket

empty badge
#

Maybe I just need higher ilvl.

heavy skiff
#

If u are 385 just try to run +10 back to back

cosmic prism
#

thinking i'll get accepted into +10's

empty badge
#

@cosmic prism If you cant, just run 7's, then 9's, then 10's

heavy skiff
#

@empty badge pulling reaping into vosses aldo helps 4 the timer

worldly iron
#

sure assassination wields daggers, but that doesn't make it spec talk besad

forest jetty
#

hey guys, I got a trinket question. I got a 400 plumage, a 410 spyglass with socket and a 400 harlans with socket. which combination eould you suggest for m+? simminggave me different combinations for every parameter I changed, but I got no clue what would overall pull ahead

empty badge
#

Plumage and harlans

marble hemlock
#

spyglass+harlans

#

gonna be slightly lower boss damage, but higher damage on trash

forest jetty
#

even if I have plumage ready for every reaping wave?

marble hemlock
#

reaping damage is the least important damage in the run

empty badge
#

Plumage will give higher DPS on trash if youre looking at it that way haha

#

1 Active is better for controlled burst

marble hemlock
#

you shouldnt hold cooldowns just for reaping, unless thats something your group really struggles with (and i doubt any group does)

worldly iron
#

and sockets on dice+spyglass is juicy

empty badge
#

Holding plumage for reaping isnt a bad idea as long as you arent holding it for more than 30 seconds

heavy skiff
#

410 soket spyglass... Fuck u man lul

marble hemlock
#

youre not gonna pop vendetta on reaping, at which point you would desync your plumage+vendetta#

cobalt gyro
#

reaping damage makes you look good in the meters

marble hemlock
#

thats pretty much all it does, ye

cobalt gyro
#

But it's "fake" damage because it doesn't help you complete the key on it's own

empty badge
#

Lol

marble hemlock
#

if you wanna pad on reaping, go ahead, but its not the most efficient way to play a key

empty badge
#

Killing reaping faster helps you complete the key yes

cobalt gyro
#

Yes and no

#

If you're killing reaping on its own you're literally wasting time killing mobs that give 0 count

marble hemlock
#

the amount of time you gain by killing a wave of risen souls slightly faster vs the amount of time you gain by using your CDs on mobs that actually live more than 5seconds

worldly iron
#

reaping dies super quick even without coolies, it's pretty free

cobalt gyro
#

I've had the reaping still be alive after the trash pack we pulled with it is dead.

#

Depends om the wave

worldly iron
#

generally speaking, of course

marble hemlock
#

most reaping waves consist of a dozen or so risen souls, and a handful of tormented/lost souls. how quickly you finish up reaping isnt as much about how quickly you kill all the small shit (which is where most of your dps goes when you just blast AoE without any prio-damage) but about how quickly you kill the big ones

empty badge
#

We all pull 50-100k on reaping and it lives 10-20 seconds I think thats worth the CD's to keep things consistent

#

But I do agree pulling something with it normally is what we do

#

In which case you arent just using plumage on reaping

marble hemlock
#

ye, ideally you pull reaping into the next pack/boss at which point your CD usage is changed based on that

empty badge
#

Also ; Do you always try and keep your ven/plumage synced?

cobalt gyro
#

Yes

marble hemlock
#

in any case, if you have a 410+socket spyglass, use it. its the best m+ trinket

#

well, 2nd best. best one would be the agi-proc pvp trinket 😄

forest jetty
#

ok, ty guys. good to see that there was no "easy" answer 😃

winged remnant
#

so is it normal for my damage to fall off super hard after vendetta all the way til a new 1 to ramp it up again in some form

worldly iron
#

I feel like reaping waves are baby waves compared to some packs on like, certain fortified weeks

empty badge
#

There isnt anything easy about answering m+ questions ahha

marble hemlock
#

assa isnt as straight forward when it comes to m+, you always have options to focus on either singletarget, aoe, or prio. most setups that are being discussed focus on one or the other, and its hard to give any recommendations due to every group, comp, and dungeon requiring a slightly different focus

#

thats why i said earlier that plumage would give you more boss-damage, while spyglass would be better for trash. you yourself know best what your group needs, so you gotta decide what you want to focus on 😃

#

its a curse and a blessing, having this flexibility

#

but its why assa is much more fun than other specs, atleast in my opinion ^^

worldly iron
#

assassination PirateHeart

forest jetty
#

so if you say that reaping isnt that important, you play poison bomb this week over crimson tempest?

empty badge
#

I always play PB over CT

#

Depends what you like

marble hemlock
#

i personally play a setup that heavily focuses on priority target/singletarget damage, so i use 3TTK traits, run TB and poisonbomb since i dont want to spend CP on CT instead of the buffed envenoms

#

if you want to go full AoE because your group is lacking AoE, or because youre doing something like a freehold or motherlode and pull pretty big, CT is the better choice for those kind of situations

winged remnant
#

which trait is ttk again? mutilate 1? vendetta 1? envenom 1?

marble hemlock
#

envenom

winged remnant
#

what lvl keys r u doing this week on tyrannical

cobalt gyro
#

I haven't been able to pull in a way a ttk build is worth yet

empty badge
#

Yeah, I dont have the traits yet but Ideally I would run 3 SS, 2 EB, and 1 TTK for generic keys

#

3 SS is jsut too gooood

#

and being a night elf it has a lot of upside

forest jetty
#

never tried ttk, is it worth to go 2 ss + 1ttk instead of 3 ss?

#

i could also drop 1 of my 2 EB for 1 ttk

marble hemlock
#

not really doing many keys recently, we usually just do a weekly 22 or 23 and call it a day, pushing on live is kinda boring rn

#

and most people are busy with MDI

#

i run 3ttk 2eb 1ss

winged remnant
#

on live i notice in ur highest keys u were doing 2 ss 2 ttk 2 eb

marble hemlock
#

focusing on prio, with the aoe potential thanks to 2eb, and not focusing too much on SS openers to allow the tank to chainpull as much as he pleases without me dropping a lot of dps

#

thats just r.io bugging out my set up

#

in the ML i ran 3ttk

#

not sure about the underrot

winged remnant
#

o?

#

whatd u drop for it, an ss?

marble hemlock
#

could check in the vod, but im pretty sure i ran 1ss only cause i knew that UR/ML are both dungeons where you want to chainpull a lot

#

ye

#

3ttk 2eb 1ss

winged remnant
#

so is 1 ss for the combo points more than anything at that point?

empty badge
#

When is the next season?

winged remnant
#

also what trinkets are u going for in this build style? @marble hemlock

marble hemlock
#

pretty much, have the SS for a decent opener, and then just focus on the aoe vs prio options with 3ttk/2eb respectively

#

spyglass+dice

winged remnant
#

so ive played outlaw in m+ a decent amount. recerntly switched to trying assass in keys and shit (rogues basically just for keys) and

#

theres 1 thing im pretty concerned with

#

my damage falls off super fucking hard after vendetta is over on bosses, is that normal?

#

like...

#

massive differences

marble hemlock
#

yes

#

we have a massive opener

winged remnant
#

yeah no like

#

what i mean is

marble hemlock
#

and then we have downtimes where were sustaining like 13-15k dps outside of tb/exsang

winged remnant
#

it feels really low outside of the opener

#

as an overall

#

with opener included

#

yeah like..

marble hemlock
#

well, that heavily depends on what setup youre running

winged remnant
#

well

#

as im new to it

marble hemlock
#

you can do insane singletarget if youre running 3SS and exsang

winged remnant
#

i have triple SS

#

1 EB

#

1 nothing personal

#

uh

marble hemlock
#

id drop the NP if possible

winged remnant
#

treacherous

marble hemlock
#

it scales well with haste, and we dont want haste for m+ 😄

winged remnant
#

1 treach

strange python
#

I am thinking of running 3xSS, 2xEB 1xBBi with Exsang as Nelf tonight

winged remnant
#

also, im running crimson tempest exsang

strange python
#

2xOP aswell

marble hemlock
#

ye, ive basically ran that build in s1

#

you can get a lot more singletarget out of it by running bomb and maybe even galecallers as a 2nd trinket

empty badge
#

Seli you would never recommend scented blood would you

queen pawn
#

guys if a question: If i garrote with SS 2 targets so garrote gets buffed, if i run out of subterfuge window and i apply my third garrote on a third target does the buffed garrotes gets unbuffed?

marble hemlock
#

or any other on-use trinket you can pop with your first big exsang

empty badge
#

Yes @queen pawn

marble hemlock
#

smuchz, i'd love to, but in its current state scent is just a worse version of EB

#

no

#

smuchz

uncut trout
#

what are the good m+ chests for single target assassin

marble hemlock
#

that bug was fixed months ago

uncut trout
#

im gunna roll all my residuum away

empty badge
#

oh?

#

I just got back into the game last week since season 1 lul

marble hemlock
#

used to be that way, but they fixed it quite some time ago. you can freely garrote after subterfuge runs out without losing any of the bonus damage

strange python
#

3xSS, 2xEB, 1xBBI, 2xOP. Nelf with Spyglass, Dice and Heavy crit. Feel that would be insane dmg both AoE and ST?

marble hemlock
#

ironmongrel, cepha chest is pretty good

winged remnant
#

so am i losing a ton of boss damage by running triple SS instead of just 1? cuz basicallly what im saying is my tyrannical boss damage feels really bad. the opener dps is cool but it settles very low...

uncut trout
#

i have the head and shoulders off the first bosses in bod

#

idk if there's any traits i need to have 1x of

#

im an outlawl player

marble hemlock
#

the good chest from raid would be mekkatorque

uncut trout
#

we're on him r/n

short pivot
#

Is it worth losing TC and dropping 10 ilvl for traits combo?

#

For m+ that is

marble hemlock
#

from m+, cepha chest has ttk, dd and op, which sims slightly higher than the mekka one due to mekka not having OP

#

depends on what you would gain in return, rom

short pivot
#

Stacking ss and eb for instance

#

Etc

uncut trout
#

BOO YEAH

#

FIRST ROLL BABY

#

WHAT UP

marble hemlock
#

well, its gonna give you more aoe, and slightly less singletarget

short pivot
#

Just hurts me to lose 700 straight agi

marble hemlock
#

agility isnt that important of a stat for aoe

winged remnant
#

oe?

#

o

marble hemlock
#

😄

winged remnant
#

seriously though, is triple SS bad for a pure ST tyrannical fight?

marble hemlock
#

a lot of our damage comes from sources that do not scale through agi, i.e. all the bonusdamage from traits for fok, the echo, or shrouded suffocation do not scale with agility

winged remnant
#

im new to assass my by tyrannical st damage feels like..ass.

#

overall.

#

by like end of a fight

marble hemlock
#

nah, ss is your best option for pure singletarget without compromising AoE too much

uncut trout
#

ok what are the good shoulders

marble hemlock
#

goraktuls

uncut trout
#

is pistoleer terrible

marble hemlock
#

for raid? ye

strange python
#

Is 3xSS 3xEB bad?

uncut trout
#

single target only

#

all i care abt

marble hemlock
#

braxoo, its just very heavy on aoe, but its still a good setup especially for pugs

short pivot
#

Currently 2xdd 2xtc 1 ss 1 eb and i do decent aoe and decent st

#

In m+

worldly iron
#

DD is feelsyarrman in m+

short pivot
#

Is that combo horrible? Can use crown but i lose 15 ilvl

strange python
#

Well I am not in a pug right now. And I am still struggling to find a combo that fits me and my team.

marble hemlock
#

3ss helps on both st and aoe, so thats always a good jack-of-all-trades option

#

it does require you to get regular restealths, which might limit the pulls your group can be doing a bit

#

but especially for nightelves, 3ss is very solid

#

and for anyone who mostly does pugs where tanks are pulling a bit more timid and timing the keys isnt as essential, 3SS is the best choice

#

its only at the higher levels where you might want to opt for a more specialized azerite/talent setup, and thats where ttk starts shining more and more

winged remnant
#

okay so i think what im by far most confused on right now with assass

#

is how do i do a 2nd opener mid fight basically?

#

like when vendetta and vanish are coming back up

marble hemlock
#

nelf/3ss/exsang?

winged remnant
#

but i dont have the prestealth anymore

#

also, i am infact nelf and 3ss

forest jetty
#

but you would suggest 2 eb 2 ss 2 ttk over 3 ss 2 ttk 1 np?

marble hemlock
#

hold your vanish until your exsang is back up

#

then just do another double garrote vanish, refresh your rupture, and then pop the 2nd exsang

winged remnant
#

id have to hold my vendetta not my vanish though?

#

or

#

what is the proper way to handle the 2nd vendetta mid fight i guess?

marble hemlock
#

hard to say, i dont think tb is worth if youre just running 1ttk

#

well, depends on whether you get a 2nd vendetta or not 😄

winged remnant
#

my fights definitely are lasting longer than 2mins

marble hemlock
#

theres different ways to playing m+ bosses, depending on how long the boss will live

winged remnant
#

2nd vendetta no 3rd, but i mean i assume id play a 3rd the exact same as a 2nd

marble hemlock
#

anything that lasts less than 2m30s, use vanish at 45-60sec into the fight with your 2nd exsanguinate

winged remnant
#

why that period instead of using it during vendetta since only 1 use anyways?

marble hemlock
#

anything that lasts between 2m30s and ~3m, use vanish after your first garrotes run out, and then delay vendetta until vanish is back up

winged remnant
#

so delay vendettas til vanish is back up

marble hemlock
#

anything >3m, delay vanish for 2nd exsanguinate, delay vendetta until vanish is back up,, pop everything at once

winged remnant
#

how do i handle the vendetta in the situation of delaying vanish for it?

marble hemlock
#

what do you mean? you just delay it 😄

winged remnant
#

do i like, vanish garrote garrote rupture vendetta?

#

like whats the best priority with working with vendetta mid fight is where im confused i guess?

marble hemlock
#

make sure you have a rupture up that lasts 10sec or longer before you vanish

#

double garrote, vendetta exsanguinate

#

can use vendetta before vanish if you want, its not gonna make a difference (unless youre starved for energy, at which point use vendetta before vanish)

#

its not about vendetta, its about exsanguinate

#

vendetta just is a flat damage increase, thats pretty simple

#

for the exsanguinate however, you want the maximum duration of your bleeds

#

thats why you double garrote in vanish, to apply the first one, and then the second one for maximum pandemic, while also trying to get a 32second rupture out

worldly iron
#

is it not worth to vanish -> garrote -> envenom -> garrote -> mutilate -> rupture before the exsang? I wasn't following the conversations so maybe I'm completely off

#

I don't even play exsang so I kinda know jack diddly, only applying some things I've picked up from vidyas

marble hemlock
#

can do that aswell, it wont make any significant difference

worldly iron
#

at least I'm not off PirateHeart

marble hemlock
#

its basically 1more sec of EP

forest jetty
#

@marble hemlock you playing MP with 3 ttk?

marble hemlock
#

no, EP all the way

forest jetty
#

ok

marble hemlock
#

MP only affects poisons

#

not envenom/tb

forest jetty
#

ah my bad I meant MA

marble hemlock
#

oh

#

nah

#

subterfuge/vigor all the way

winged remnant
#

so question on something u said there earlier, are u saying the proper way to play a fight over 3 minutes is roughly:
opener; garrote garrote rupture vendetta mutilate rupture exsang-then w.e, then like 45seconds in, vanish garrote garrote rupture exsang, then hold vendetta for an entire 45seconds the second round to vanish vendetta and exsang all together?

marble hemlock
#

theres not a single situation where you dont want to run subter+vigor for m+ sadly

forest jetty
#

ok

marble hemlock
#

for the general openers, just check out the guide in the pins

winged remnant
#

also what is EP ? dont know most shit by acronyms yet :<

marble hemlock
#

it has the opener for ss+exsanguinate in there

bronze kelp
#

EP = elaborated planing

winged remnant
#

if youre talking to me my question was about the whole thing not the opener

marble hemlock
#

well, the opener you mentioned isnt the best one, thats why i linked the guide 😉

winged remnant
#

wait

#

thats exactly what the guide says tho?

#

unless im stupid, let me recheck

#

i guess

forest jetty
#

you said that we don´t want haste, but sim says that my sec stats are crit>haste/mastery all of em almost equal

marble hemlock
#

G R G V M R E

winged remnant
#

wait

#

i meant garrote rupture garrote

marble hemlock
#

is the opener for exsang+ss

winged remnant
#

i put it backwards

marble hemlock
#

😄

winged remnant
#

for some reason

#

thats only thing i fucked up

#

:<

marble hemlock
#

but yes

#

basically its like this:

winged remnant
#

my thing was about the stuff after that tho just wanted to add it in for clarity

worldly iron
#

Juventaz, in m+ haste isn't desirable

#

unless tyrannical, then you might want a tiny bit

forest jetty
#

I could have 19% or 11%, guess 11% will be enough then

marble hemlock
#

any fight where you dont get a 2nd vendetta, you hold vanish for 2nd exsang
any fight where you do get 2nd vendetta but not 5 exsanguinates, vanish after opener then hold vendetta for vanish CD again
any fight where you do get 2nd vendetta and 5 exsanguinates, delay vanish for 2nd exsanguinate, delay vendetta /exsanguinate for 2nd vanish

#

which roughly translates to: a sub 2m30s, sub 3m, >3m fight duration respectively

golden relic
#

What was the math on the x3EB HB , how much difference was the 3rd compared to 2, sorry to being totally off topic to your conversation lol

marble hemlock
#

no idea about HB, i never play it cause i think its awful and only good for padding :X

#

as far as haste is concerned, the dungeon-slice sim will still give you fairly high values for haste and versa, due to how the sim is set up (2min bossfight, then a handful of 2-3target fights weaved in with 5-6target fights for the remainder of the sim)

#

the boss-part of that pushes the haste value fairly high up

#

in general you try to itemize for aoe however, not singletarget, which is why you will get low haste-values when doing a 6-8target 40-60second patchwerk sim

#

the loss in singletarget damage by not having high haste, is made up for over the course of the dungeon by having higher aoe dps

forest jetty
#

ok

winged remnant
#

so to clarify something, with so much info some small parts get lost

marble hemlock
#

its the best way we have right now to emulate a pure aoe fight

#

well, its more accurate if you only care about aoe weights

strange python
#

Is 3xEB this week in higher keys is bad since you lose too much ST? Or okey since you kill mobs faster?

empty badge
#

Would you guys use 385 if it had better traits than you 400?

marble hemlock
#

its still far from perfect, since it still prioritizes using vendetta/tb/exsang on cooldown etc.

winged remnant
#

in option #2, would the 2nd vendetta vanish be like: vanish garrote rupture garrote vendetta mutilate rupture exsang? or...?

marble hemlock
#

you just prepare your 2nd burst by having a ~10-15sec rupture on the mob, and then just vanish, garrote, rupture, garrote, exsanguinate, with vendetta either before the vanish or before the exsanguinate

winged remnant
#

it doesnt matter if u use ur dots before vendetta or after basically right? no snapshotting then i take it?

marble hemlock
#

braxoo, if you need the aoe, go EB ye

#

no, vendetta just dynamically increases all damage by 30% while it is active

#

snapshotting is a relic of the past, and only very few abilities still do it

#

demolocks snapshot their tyrant, we snapshot exsanguinate, and feral still has snapshotting dots as well as far as im aware

#

the reason you want to set up your exsanguiante as flawlessly as possible, is that you do not refresh your exsanguinated bleeds until they ran out

winged remnant
#

so i know this is asking a weird question of you because i KNOW its varied, but in this week specifically, what type of trait setup do u think id be running in 18-19s or so? i said my current were 1 echoing triple SS 1 treacherous 1 nothing and u said to drop a nothing personal, my other option for the nothing personal is blightborne (the crit buff trait), is that alot better? thats just off top of my head havent been on in hours

marble hemlock
#

usually you just refresh whenever inside the pandemic window, but exsang dots you want to refresh the second they ran out, otherwise you lose some of the sped-up ticks

#

get blightborne

winged remnant
#

i think ive been refreshing in the 2-4second zone

marble hemlock
#

also, i hate you for having goraktuls

winged remnant
#

during exs

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

dont do that

#

😄

#

wait until they expired

empty badge
#

Is PB or exstanguish better?

winged remnant
#

which piece is goraktuls xD my rogues an alt and i just started taking it a bit more serious and trying more than outlaw

empty badge
#

Ive always ran PB

marble hemlock
#

exsanguinated ruptures tick every ~0.8-1second, so by refreshing that one when it has 4sec left, youre losing out on 4 ticks

strange python
#

So Gorak is good for M+? SS BBI then gueess

marble hemlock
#

thats the shoulders with blightborne you mentioned

winged remnant
#

PB and exsan are on dif tiers?:

marble hemlock
#

blightborne is gigabis

empty badge
#

or

#

toxic blade sorry

winged remnant
#

blightborne is amazing? someone i spoke to said just use NP cuz its probly worse then my treacherous

empty badge
#

i was thinking poison blade lu,l

marble hemlock
#

tb if you run ttk and focus on prio damage, exsang if you run multiple ss and want more st

strange python
#

So the build I talked about before. 3xSS 1xBBI 2xEB should work Well? On ST I have 2xOP then aswell

marble hemlock
#

yes, blightborne is amazing for both raid and m+

winged remnant
#

whats BBl ? idk acronyms yet reee

marble hemlock
#

blightborne infusion

winged remnant
#

ohh

marble hemlock
#

on a sidenote, and dont take this personally, but since youve just started out as assa in m+, dont over-prepare

#

assa is fairly complex in keys, and i always advise people to just play it and get a feel for the spec before delving further into the gearing options and minor improvements that can be made

winged remnant
#

i mean i know what im doing in m+ just not assass, and i have people to push higher with all over my list so like, i kind of need to learn pretty major issues first like this

empty badge
#

Exstanguish is confusing me

winged remnant
#

like the overall i havent asked about much because it is so all over the place

marble hemlock
#

gameplay comes first, theorycrafting comes after

winged remnant
#

but

#

i felt like

#

my tyrannical

#

dps was really bad

empty badge
#

I have always use TB because its more simple lol

marble hemlock
#

assa in keys is not easy, if you want to play it well

winged remnant
#

thats what the base of all my questions have been

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

well, the singletarget on bosses is the same as in raids

#

so for that, the guide should answer most questions

winged remnant
#

i dont raid on my rogue

#

but i mean

#

in all honesty

#

the guide felt very over simplified to me

marble hemlock
#

it is

#

but it covers the most important stuff

winged remnant
#

i feel like theres too much it didnt answer that was fairly prevalent like, a 2nd set of cooldowns as we just went over

marble hemlock
#

keep dots up, use cooldowns on cd, stack up specific cooldowns, and how to open

#

well

winged remnant
#

or i was really tired and somehow both times ive looked at it im missing shit ?

marble hemlock
#

its not really something that needs to be explaiend in detail, since it already mentions that you want to pandemic your bleeds as much as possible

empty badge
#

Seli, would you take the 385 with SS/EB or the 400 with SS/SB?

winged remnant
#

i guess but a lot of the helpful info youve said in this very conversation feels very helpful and isnt mentioned in the guide in anyway

marble hemlock
#

well obviously me answering your questions directly is going to be more helpful than a guide thats written for everyone 😄

winged remnant
#

scent of blood = sb?

empty badge
#

yeah

winged remnant
#

ofcourse thats true but like some of this feels pretty overall encompasing towards many people and fairly important in a number of situations is i guess what i was poking at there

marble hemlock
#

hard to say, id probably play the 385 one

empty badge
#

I dont know whether to value agi that high or not

#

Ok, thank you

winged remnant
#

my understanding is dont

#

tbh

#

(@ valuing it too high)

#

@marble hemlock so, is ur 3x ttk, 1x ss, 2x, eb ur favorite overall set for high keys? are u still running that on a fortified week?

marble hemlock
#

well, agi isnt as important as secondaries, but then again azerite pieces have a metric shitton of primaries on them

#

i run that basically every key, ye

#

only deviation is for temple/kingsrest

#

where i run 2/2/2 instead

winged remnant
#

2x ss?

marble hemlock
#

2ss 2eb 2ttk

winged remnant
#

why do u deviate to that on those?

marble hemlock
#

kingrest has smaller pulls that are well suited for SS since most packs are 2-4mobs, temple has a 2boss-fight which is great for SS and similar "small" pulls

winged remnant
#

honestly, atleast off the top of my head, i dont think a single 1 of my pieces has ttk, maybe not really even the mutilate trait either? all my pieces had like NP a neutral and SS

marble hemlock
#

ttk starts shining when you have bigger pulls, since its really only worth picking up if you have a consistent CP-generation on trash, and that requires more than 3-4mobs at a time

winged remnant
#

wait temples 2boss fight with destroy u if u ss it though? am i missingg something here?

#

i mean were def doing big pulls, atleast this week. not sure what "big" is to you tho

marble hemlock
#

neither garrote nor rupture have an initial hit, so you can multidot without getting damaged by the lightning shield if you do it properly

#

only risk is getting meleed, but thats what evasion is for 😃

#

or just multidot while hes casting, since mobs dont melee during a cast

#

but again, thats fairly advanced stuff and shouldnt be a concern when youre still struggling with more pressing matters 😃

winged remnant
#

wait are u saying they can have the lightning shield on already, and u can just walk up and ggarrote and rupture?? lol? without getting struck back? wtf lol.

marble hemlock
#

yes

#

as long as you dont melee the mob

idle vigil
#

How do u stop the melle

marble hemlock
#

evasion, or go in as he casts

idle vigil
#

I mean your own melle

marble hemlock
#

oh

#

mouseover macros

#

are the easiest

idle vigil
#

Hmm I

#

K*

winged remnant
#

i mean id like to think i learn fast and most of my issues are knowledge based thats why im trying to figure out shit

marble hemlock
#

you can also position yourself in a way that you can still style the mob, but dont autoattack

idle vigil
#

Just trying to think what binds I have open now for a mouse over lol

winged remnant
#

style it? is this some slang ive never seen b4 xd?

marble hemlock
#

you can only autoattack in a 120° arc in front of you, while you can use abilities in a 180° arc in front of you, so if you shift the camera to have the mob within that 30° deadzone on your left or right side, you can use rupture/garrote on it without autoattacking

winged remnant
#

oh u meant angle

#

ok

marble hemlock
#

not sure if "style" is still used these days, basically just means "using an ability"

winged remnant
#

i take it u cant rupture the 2nd ? not that u'd want to but now im curious more than anything else

marble hemlock
#

yes you can

#

but its not worth doing unless you can also apply a poison, rupture alone as a multidot ability isnt worth it

#

the value of multidotting comes from the extra energy, and that requires a poison to be on the mob

#

and theres no way to apply a poison without hitting the mob

idle vigil
#

Even for the damage?

#

It’s not worth?

marble hemlock
#

no

#

not on rupture. its worth for a SS+subterfuge garrote

#

and you can use cloak+evasion for your first vanish to apply dots to both without getting any retaliatory damage

#

after the first switch you can just multidot with mouseover/utilizing the angles, and throw a poisoned knife. since theres no group damage during the 2nd phase that one can just be healed up

#

then its back to p1, where you just make sure to refresh bleeds/poison before the switch happens, p2 again where you do the same, and in the 3rd p1 you have evasion/cloak back up

winged remnant
#

do u have to feint b4 the PK ever lol

marble hemlock
#

depending on how close the boss is to dying, dont use your 2nd vendetta tho, its better used on the rider that comes immediately after the boss. but we're delving into too much detail here i think 😄

#

nah, feint doesnt reduce the damage of the shield unless youre specced into elusiveness

forest jetty
#

are you using mouseover for every multidot scenario? trash etc?

marble hemlock
#

(which is a viable choice for temple/kr if you can handle not having cheat death)

winged remnant
#

does it not 1 shot u on higher keys? ive hit into the shield on like a 19 tyr and man did that shit truck

marble hemlock
#

lots of people are, i personally dont

#

nah

#

i mean, ive taken like 90% hp hits on a 22

#

but again, theres 0 damage going out in p2

#

so thats just healed up

forest jetty
#

I would be afraid to dot a target twice by moving the mouse a bit to far

marble hemlock
#

i prefer tabbing/clicking nameplates to swap targets

forest jetty
#

yeah m2

marble hemlock
#

although the recent nameplate/tab changes with 8.1.5 have mad that a pain in the ass....

winged remnant
#

ive never noticed cuz ive never been low during it really, does the dust that blows out do damage? if so couldnt that fuck u at 10%?

#

what do u mean? i dont really remember noticing a dif since 8.1.5, but if u mean all the weird elvui things i havent updated past that on purpose

marble hemlock
#

nah, its just a knockback

forest jetty
#

I use plater and customized it to show every nameplate in green which got my posin and my rupturwe

marble hemlock
#

not gonna delve into the nameplate-issues again

#

ive discussed it at length before :p

forest jetty
#

well, thank you for your effort mate, helped a lot

marble hemlock
#

happy to help ❤

winged remnant
#

the only real issue i have with assassin with my plates

marble hemlock
#

youre gonna play around nameplates a lot as assa, so having clean ones that only show whats necessary helps a lot

winged remnant
#

Is idk how to customize the debuffs/poisons style of options much.

#

like my max debuffs on main target frame is like 3

#

haventmessed with options like that

#

in literally like 7months

empty badge
#

Sel, in m+ what do would your ideal crit/haste/mastery be?

#

Vers im assuming would ideally be 0

marble hemlock
#

~35% crit, ~40% mastery, ~8% haste (cant really go lower due to neck/weapons)

forest jetty
#

@marble hemlock do you use quick navigation? or really NO haste at all? and go for deadly and masterfull?

marble hemlock
#

deadly+quick, ye

#

ran versatile+deadly for a while, but didnt feel worth

bronze kelp
#

also ~8% haste on tyra weeks ?

#

or a bit more ?

marble hemlock
#

youre not gonna feel a difference by having 3 or 4% more haste

#

on ST

#

and you will feel missing 5% mastery or crit

bronze kelp
#

hm... ill try and test this. always went with about 5-8% more haste and therefore less mastery and a bit less crit

opaque relic
#

@Juventaz you basically don't need haste on trash mobs in m+ since all the energy you need is generated by rupture and Garrote energy regen. So only time you need haste is during boss fight.

#

And generally you spend like 8 mins fighting bosses and 22mins fighting mobs (on fortified week).

strange python
#

So as low Haste as possible then Deadly-Quick. I thought deadly-masterful was better. Hmm also the thing with haste %. I can have 6 % haste. Is that too low? :S

spark oyster
#

I was playing with 6% on tournament realm and I was blasting even on bosses

#

And I went deadly+masterful

strange python
#

Traits?

winged remnant
#

so

#

for stats

#

is it mast>crit>hast>vers or mast>crit>vers>haste?

#

is haste so useless u just go vers if u have to pick 1 of the not 2

wary ice
winged remnant
#

talking m+

#

not really simmable

#

especially the specific mechanic im referring to in realistic scenarios

bronze kelp
#

in most cases its crit > mastery> versa > haste

plain thistle
#

with the current build, ppl tend to stack crit

#

more than mastery or versa

bronze kelp
#

crit -> good for EB and ttk

plain thistle
#

yeah

winged remnant
#

i thought it was crit>mast but then i assumed 35% cr 40%m and assumed for the second off top of head cuz not in game dont know the ratios on %s to amounts

plain thistle
#

and it makes you feel good, mastery is just more damage kappat

winged remnant
#

xd

#

also thoughts on treacherous for assassin in m+? dont have a lot of trait options yet

bronze kelp
#

not bad and not good 😉

winged remnant
#

i was told dunggeonslice is definitely bad for assass m_

#

ye sal said something along the lines of

#

it prioritizes cds and such wrongly and the boss in a short timer like thatweights it too far that way

#

i have eb but only 1

#

also i dont think i have a single ttk trait, or maybe even dd trait

#

my trait options were more for outlaw

#

no

#

xd

marble hemlock
#

opu helmet, conclave chest, rasta shoulders are all good for m+

winged remnant
#

well my rogue is an alt and a rather newer 1

#

that ive barely raided on

marble hemlock
#

That’s raiding

#

Keys = multitarget

spice surge
#

Heed is not very good for m+

#

Since the aoe is exceptionally small and will a lot of the time only hit your main target

#

The stat traits (such as overwhelming power or unstable flames) are generally much better

primal gazelle

What bout heed vs azerites globes

marble hemlock

heed is better for singletarget than aoe, surprisingly 😄

#

theyre both garbage for aoe

idle vigil
#

Can u evasion barre through in Kr?

#

Barrel*

cosmic pier
#

yes

idle vigil
#

Still trying to figure out al the shit you can evasion

#

Seems like half the bladestorms you can

#

Half you can’t

tall pond
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

@idle vigil Make sure the bladestorm is full frontal, evasion only works in a frontal cone.

marble hemlock
#

keep in mind that when you are charged, the damage comes at the end of the charge

#

so if you move towards the original charge-location, youll get hit in the back and still die

#

since dodge only works from the front 😉

#

everyone that helps soak gets hit as the mob travels through you, but the original target gets hit as the boss finishes the charge

empty badge
#

So if you evasion, and dont move you wont get hit by barrel through?

#

BEcause that is fucking OP.

marble hemlock
#

yes

empty badge
#

wow

#

Ok cool

marble hemlock
#

thats how DH solo-soaks it, since bladedance gives them 100% dodge

#

you generally want to hold evasion for the butcher tho

empty badge
#

Why is that

marble hemlock
#

if youre the target of the severing axe DoT

#

you can dodge that one if you use evasion before she finishes the cast

#

healing the charge usually isnt an issue

#

the dot on the other hand hurts like hell

empty badge
#

Thats even mroe op lol

marble hemlock
#

its a 1.5sec cast, at the beginning of the cast she turns towards the player she casts it on, and during the last 0.5sec of the cast she also targets the player directly

empty badge
#

So it works like the boss in TD

marble hemlock
#

so you can either try to evasion reactively during those last 0.5secs, which is kinda hard to do

#

or just position yourself in a way where its obvious that she turns towards you if youre actually her target

#

you can also stand in the whirling axes as long as you have evasion up, so thats another benefit 😄

#

so basically evade one of the severing axes, and evasion lasts long enough to just stay in melee for the next cast of whirling axes as well

empty badge
#

Cant you cloak as well?

Hey guys, can somebody help me decide which trinkets are bis to use for M+ this week? I have 400 dice with socket, 410 socket dead-eye spyglass, using them atm, but I also got 410 socket boon which always simms better but as you know it's very dependant, also 415 azerokk's resonating heart which is more or less always behind

#

I can't really sim it tbh

golden relic
#

Dice and spyglass always my g

#

Boon is a pukemoji in m+ anyway no matter the sim

full pagoda
#

Ya, sadly, it is

#

Ok, thanks, just felt needing a confirmation xD

#

@golden relic Do you think azerokk's heart can replace dice (I doubt) or deadeye for Mythic progress Jaina as there's a lot of movement and boon is absolutely not ok for there?

golden relic
#

Uh idk, maybe .. id aim to get a plumage if i was you, i Think @marble hemlock used galrcallers on jaina (not sure?) . Maybe he can give some insight on that matter

ripe nimbus
#

There is plenty of time to use galecallers in jaina

#

Ur cooldowns always come up when the group isnt moving anyway

golden relic
#

Guess planning ahead with it is easy after a pull or two and u kno when and where shit happens. I used galecallers on like everything up to rastakhan

#

But i didnt like it at all

lost sentinel
#

I tried plummage for a bit, went back to gcb, it's not that difficult to utilize imo

golden relic
#

That trinket has been the fattest bait, farmed it and when i got it i wanted to trash it

#

lol

#

I was using 380 boon for like forever, been the most unlucky on trinkets this expansion and got dice, dead eye and azerokk 415 for literally 2 weeks.

#

I couldn't even appreciate it

#

So more or less I have gotten used to boon but still felt like asking for Jaina. Well, I guess i'll get used to it on her. I used it for Blockade and it was amazing. Thanks for all the help guys!

thick galleon
#

is elaborate planning better then master poisoner currently?

spice surge
#

yes

thick galleon
#

even for pvp?

spice surge
#

Depends, generally mp is good as the increased slow/healing reduction is useful in pvp

#

But for pure dmg ep is better. Deadly poison is such a minor part of our damage

#

Whereas EP applies to all damage

thick galleon
#

ok then those are good enough to roll with ep from now on

thanks for the help

it's better to sim sub or MA but generally sub is better with SS trait, while MA is better with DD trait. It's general said tho.

@tired drift Raids or M+?

Not sure about raids, it's really best to sim yourself. Some items can literally switch everything for you. That happened with me with not long ago.

@ionic hill Yeah, I needed time to get used to both rotations but still SS is always bis for M+. DD is not enough good as you switch too many targets.

harsh sphinx
#

valid kayak
#

just got a gcb and wondering when is best to pop it during my opener?

civic palm
round harbor
#

anyone around to look at a log for me?

vital haven
#

ye sure

#

whats a log?

civic palm
#

@round harbor Some issue in one?

round harbor
#

christ

#

my V button stopped workingh

#

lol couldnt copy paste

vital haven
#

hmm yes

round harbor
#

idk, felt like i played the fight perfect and still only a ~80

vital haven
#

can you get anymore sockets btw

#

like seriously

round harbor
#

only 7 in raid gear

civic palm
#

Missing like 4 sockets LAMER.

vital haven
#

ONLY 7

#

this guy

round harbor
#

in outlaw if i want i can get 12

#

but its not optimal

civic palm
#

Normal killtime?

round harbor
#

that was our first kill

#

of stormwall

#

so i tihnk the only thing i shouldve done is held vendetta for lust. but i didnt think we were gonna kill it sub 6 minutes

civic palm
#

Looks like it's 5:16 already though.

#

or is the timer fucked for that.

round harbor
#

yeah it was like super fast kil

vital haven
#

cant hold vendetta for lust

#

the kill time is awkward

rustic ether
#

do you guys ever end up using cheap shot

vital haven
#

and the lust timer is awkard as well

rustic ether
#

in m_

round harbor
#

yeahn true

#

i couldnt have gotten another one

vital haven
#

you can hold on hold on vendetta for lust but then you dont get anoither one

civic palm
#

Your Rupture uptime is @ 90% and I don't think that the transition accounts for that much time.

vital haven
#

ye exactly

#

you were left boat?

round harbor
#

yeah

vital haven
#

@rustic ether you mean in raid?

#

i didnt get a good parse either

#

75 on our first kill

#

but i know what i need to do

#

let me watch the replay

round harbor
#

yeha i tihnk the rupture never dropped

#

off luminara and the adds

#

atleast i dont see it

civic palm
#

Does look like the higher logs have ~4% higher Rupture uptime.

#

Garrote being the same.

round harbor
#

think its because our other side of boat took longer

#

so i had to afk for a few seconds in the first dip and the boat to boss on the second

#

or maybe it dropped during tempting sirne

#

not sure

civic palm
#

That's the only uptime issue I see.

#

Rupture and Garrote should be ~94%.

round harbor
#

ight

#

then maybe u think other people are muti dotting the adds more?

#

like i treied not to go too far out of my way to get off boss

#

when we have like god comp for ranged dps

vital haven
#

ya im watching the replay right now

civic palm
#

Lemme check the add phase.

round harbor
#

still was 4th place on siren tho

vital haven
#

you gotta switch to the big adds more

civic palm
round harbor
#

jusat like throw a rupture on them when they get close?

#

wait is that a top log?

civic palm
#

Trusted Top 10

round harbor
#

so they must be running back and doouble dotting the storms

vital haven
#

phase is all about multidotting shit

#

when they close enough to step

#

step garrote rupture go back to the boss

round harbor
#

hmm

#

ok ill look into that

#

i was just poushing boss as hard as possible

vital haven
#

thank laminaria hitbox is huge lmao

civic palm
#

But just enough to get Rupture and Garrote

#

Step, Garrote, generate, Rupture, back to boss.

round harbor
#

casn u link the log ur looking at?

#

curious to see his luminara dmg vs mine

vital haven
#

i lowkey think that SS is pretyt good in that fight

round harbor
#

yeah i went 3dd3np just for the giga burst

vital haven
#

especially at the end when if you get a vanish wiuth the 2 adds and luminaria

round harbor
#

cause we were lusting on pull

#

at start

vital haven
#

i mean the parse is really good a prog parse

round harbor
#

HMM OK

#

so it looks like they are doing more boss dps cause the multi dotting aswell

#

even in last phase

civic palm
#

Yeah, energy gen is important.

vital haven
#

im sure most RL want the melee to just stick on the boss on the first kill and dont move

round harbor
#

but our killtime is faster so as as group we did more efficiently on adds vs boss

#

yeah

civic palm
#

So they're on big adds for garrote and rupture, Lam. the rest of the time.

round harbor
#

yup

vital haven
#

the sirens are not even worth dotting

#

they die too fast

#

too low health pools

round harbor
#

yeah i see that noe

#

they barely touched them

#

unless they were like already in tab target range it seems

civic palm
#

Rupturing them is fine.

#

The Temptresses.

#

Garrote is expensive and has a CD.

#

and you can just mouseover them.

round harbor
#

their adds also lived alot more

civic palm
#

I imagine when they cannot generate on Lam.

round harbor
#

we only did 9m to the energized storm, they did 19m

#

so we mustve skipped a few that they had to deal with

#

since they lusted on pull

civic palm
#

Yeah BL is gonna move that around.

round harbor
#

ok so just gotta lust on pull then have more storms to pad on

#

then i get good parse

#

after jaina im ready for it

#

we locking out until then though

civic palm
#

Could look at some other parses, but it seems like that atm.

vital haven
#

im on jaina prog as well

#

only jaina for the next few weeks

round harbor
#

his EP uptime was a little higher aswell, but thats probly form the same thing.... more energy from the adds

civic palm
#

Yarrr

vital haven
#

btw your guys kill was the 3rd fastest kill

round harbor
#

ya

#

for a first kill becool

#

our mekka was i think rank 10 or soemthing

#

this guild is so weird, like we take long to kill bosses but when the one pull comes together its a gigga pull

vital haven
#

same thing happened with us

round harbor
#

just need everyone to focus for like 6 minutes straight sometimes

vital haven
#

i think we got a super quick stormwall kill as well

hollow cloak
#

does raidbots atm buggin?

#

Top Gear requires at least two combinations. Make sure to select some additional items, enhancements, or talents

#

iget that if i have 24 combi

vital haven
#

is the replace existing gems/enchants checked?

#

its at the bottom

hollow cloak
#

yes

vital haven
#

ok nvm its actually happening to me too

#

lmao what is this

#

they have a discord @hollow cloak

hollow cloak
#

what was called

vital haven
round harbor
#

ight well thanks for the help figuring that stuff out

hollow cloak
#

@vital haven okay there is bug atm, fixing asap

open raptor
#

What traits should i aim for in raids?

regal carbon
#

Does evasion work on Rezan's devour

icy girder
#

u can vanish it i know that

#

never tried evasion

sterile ocean
#

Whats the best race for rogue right now Mag'har orc or reg orc?

civic palm
#

Night Elf :3

sterile ocean
#

i mean for horde

#

Night elf aint horde

civic palm
#

Probably Troll or Maghar then.

sterile ocean
#

ah k

civic palm
#

Everyone is within 1% so it's w/e

sterile ocean
#

was thinking cause Mag'har's is rng on the stat and Reg orc its straight up damage

civic palm
#

unless it's dungeons, then NE are broken

sterile ocean
#

true

civic palm
#

Whatever you think looks the best, really, things are pretty normalized atm.

sterile ocean
#

yeah true

unkempt belfry
#

go home, @sterile ocean you're drunk, lol. I thought you gave up on Rogue anyway.

sterile ocean
#

I never said i did? LUL

#

i was thinking about it but decided not to

unkempt belfry
#

How could you betray the Blood Elf master race by even considering being an orc? 😮

sterile ocean
#

cause they look badass Lol

unkempt belfry
#

do they though?

civic palm
#

More badass than a girl or maybe/probably a girl.

supple hearth
#

If Im going to buy a random relinquished azerite piece. Are my odds better going helm, shoulder, or chest

civic palm
#

Same odds are getting something you want unless you are specific on how many pieces you COULD get with each slot that interest you >_ >

rustic ether
#

@supple hearth depends what youre aiming for

#

if youre going for a M+ 3SS 3EB build, then shoulders have two possible EB SS

#

after shoulder i would prolly roll for helms as you can get an EB SS chest piece form BOD

strange python
#

anyone have an issue not being able to choose MA as a talent? keep trying to sim it but it's disabling it for some reason

icy ember
#

WAT no

rustic ether
#

nah

strange python
#

df. im tryna sim sub vs MA and it's not even enabling it

#

zzz

rustic ether
#

do you mean that it wont let you choose both MA and sub to sim?

#

because sme of the sims on raidbots doesnt let you sim talent options in one talent box

strange python
#

yeah; which is weird cuz i use to do that all the time

#

unless they just changed it

#

i.e; comparing both talents

strange python
#

is hidden blades worth simming

#

for dungeon cleave

#

or is a waste of iterations

civic palm
#

Yeah sure.

strange python
#

that's not really like

#

an encouraging response :x

#

I don't know if anyone actually uses hidden blades ever

civic palm
#

:3 HD is fine, SIM it.

strange python
#

HD

#

🤔

civic palm
#

HB sorry typing over something

crisp kayak
#

Just go outlaw for dungeons tbh 🙄

icy girder
#

why

#

sin is also very good in dungeons

#

ss and eb is viable

strange python
#

I do play outlaw in dungeons

#

however I'd like to be good at multiple specs

lost horizon
#

I'm a convert

#

Sin shreds in some situations moreso than outlaw imo

strange python
#

Sin is also really good, just Outlaw seems "easier" to gear/play.

strange python
#

because it is

#

no need for quotes

#

it 100% is

tropic ocean
#

i guess outlaw is as hard/easy to gear as sin 😄

strange python
#

it's not

#

it's much easier to gear

tropic ocean
#

by your thinking or by any accessible data?

strange python
#

by the thinking of anyone with a brain

tropic ocean
#

so no facts just qq

#

oki

strange python
#

every trait good on mt is good on st as outlaw

#

do you stack triple dose and eb on mekka too?

tropic ocean
#

not sure you'd use wits on st

#

lul

worldly iron
#

it's not qq politics how did you interpret it that way feelsyarrman

strange python
#

what fights are pure st and gain no benefit from wits

#

there's like 2 of 9

#

as well as the fact that ss bonus damage is up 100%

#

the 2 most important bosses in the raid benefit a lot from wits

#

which bosses benefit heavily from eb again?

#

in what mt situation is np good?

tropic ocean
#

the most important?

worldly iron
#

you need like, one wits and you're basically set as outlaw. sin needs to stack EB and get both SS and TTK in many scenarios

strange python
#

my single treacherous outsims NP

#

in dungeon cleave

#

lol

worldly iron
#

that's why assassination is harder to gear

#

you switch around traits a lot as assassination, depending on keys and weeks

#

you don't do that with outlaw

strange python
#

don't even switch talents as outlaw

#

only real exception is cheat death and the feint talent

tropic ocean
#

@worldly iron then you need infact to take into consideration what sources you get the bis pieces from

#

you want deadshots and ace up your sleeves as outlaw + 1 wits

strange python
#

they're very common traits

#

tc is also good

tropic ocean
#

"they're very common traits" - checks raid loot table, no

strange python
#

I run 2x ds 1x ace 2x tc 1x wits

#

2 of my pieces are from raid

#

the one that isn't is ace/wits

#

bis outlaw are from m+ just like sin

tropic ocean
#

opulence, conclave

#

rastakhan

#

is ttk/eb/ss

#

so idk about that

strange python
#

ya but do you stack 3 eb
