tropic ocean
#

depends on week I guess

#

most of the time i use 2x ttk 1x ss 2x eb

strange python
#

every really common trait is good as outlaw

tropic ocean
#

but why compare bis assa to non bis outlaw

strange python
#

I've never been forced into snake eyes or Paradise Lost

tropic ocean
#

either compare bis vs bis or dont compare

strange python
#

because outlaw doesn't need to be bis to outperform sin

tropic ocean
#

I really dislike the outlaw vs assa troll stuff in this discord

strange python
#

there's no vs

#

outlaw has a niche that is much easier to gear for

#

I enjoy both specs, there is no vs lol

tropic ocean
#

because 2/3 bis pieces come from m+ opposite to raid?

#

I can't follow that logic

strange python
#

I'm done talking

#

you've missed the point entirely and I can't explain it any easier

worldly iron
#

just because outlaw is easier to gear for doesn't mean anyone is talking smack feelsyarrman

#

I'm not sure why that's such a bad thing

tropic ocean
#

^

strange python
#

He just says it's easier to gear

#

where's the drama

#

its a fact

worldly iron
#

"easier to gear"

tropic ocean
#

"easier to gear/play

#

it 100% is

strange python
#

Yeah that's the point he's trying to defend all the time

worldly iron
#

well if you're looking to get offended then you can just stick to that one sentence despite what's been said afterwards

strange python
#

(I also think it's easier to play in an aoe situation but that's 100% feels and others have felt differently)

tropic ocean
#

i'm not offended at all, i play what I enjoy anyways

#

just that in this discord often statements get set in stone when they're not

#

getting good traits for outlaw is easy yeah

#

saying outlaw is easier to gear than assa is not

worldly iron
#

but that's the point

tropic ocean
#

when you get 2/3 bis pieces of assa in raid

#

while you dont with outlaw

worldly iron
#

we're talking traits

strange python
#

I mean, there's no point on keeping this argument

#

LMAO

worldly iron
#

yeah I want out feelsyarrman

mighty elm
#

Miss me with that outlaw shit

soft island
#

guyz if u could chose bewteeen Seductive power trait and Scent of blood.... would you take the scent of blood?

rigid mango
#

Depends what you're playing

#

SP seems to be better for patchwerk, SoB is probs better for m+ etc

rigid mango
#

Finally the wheel of fortunes gives me something good

real bay
#

yeet

#

I've bought 4 chests I think so far no ceph

scarlet hinge
#

should I ever let myself reach full energy if waiting for TB, also should I use TB at 5CP ?

stuck knoll
#

Use TB on cd even if you'd waste one

frigid sleet
#

is using pot better during normal rotation in hero or with vendetta+vanish without hero ?

wide delta
#

what are the main stats if u play 3xEB in m+

visual dagger
#

does sin ever get faster with more haste or does it always have a lot of downtime and waiting?

stuck knoll
#

It pretty much always has downtime and waiting

#

It's not a spec in which you can spam your buttons

visual dagger
#

it feels like i cant do much of anything except put my dots up and then wait to envenom twice

#

recently capped so idk the ins and outs but it seems like there's not a lot going on, at least with the toxic blade spec. not sure what im missing

frigid sleet
#

@wide delta crit>>mastery> rest

rigid mango
#

@visual dagger It's all about using your time well, maximising your energy usage etc

#

Pooling for ex TB etc is a core part

#

and @scarlet hinge Normally pooling to 50-80 ish should be fine, all depends on your haste value

#

After playing a while, you'll notice what haste you need for 3 TB'd Env's, also ofc down to crits

visual dagger
#

is blindside ever an option?

#

or just always elaborate planning?

rigid mango
#

no

vestal wren
#

always eb

rigid mango
#

p*

tired drift
#

what talent at level 30 is best? I've been using Subterfuge for the most part. But is it the best?

#

come to think of it. I can simself

spice surge
#

Generally subterfuge if you have SS traits and/or there are opportunities to garrote multiple things with vanish

#

Otherwise master assassin

tired drift
#

SS traits?

spice surge
#

Shrouded suffocation

tired drift
#

ah I see

fluid kraken
#

Guys im new to assasination .. im curious whats the best talents and traits for m+ and what for raids ? Is there something different ? And what are the MUST traits

tired drift
#

for what I've seen. It depends alot on your gear

spice surge
#

Check the guide in the pins for a broad overveiw, check the wowhead guide for a more detailed version. Check herodamage for exact numbers on traits

rigid mango
#

Generally

#

The same for everything

fluid kraken
#

Hmm oki thnx a lot .. im around 406 ilv

rigid mango
#

apart from SS/MA and last tier

#

Sub/MA, mb

fluid kraken
#

Okii thnx

#

And btw assasination is much better dps in raids than outlaw right ?

rigid mango
#

For some fights yeah

#

There are fights that outlaw is better at

#

Opu, example

#

outlaw has rly high dmg

#

but most is padding

#

on adds

spice surge
#

Assa is generally better yes

rigid mango
#

^

spice surge
#

Outlaw can preform higher numbers on plenty of bosses, but most of that is killing the adds before anybody else gets to touch them

fluid kraken
#

Yes .. more like i want high dps in bosses like ( jaina..mekka..blockade etc..

spice surge
#

Whereas assa has a very hard time doing burst aoe efficiently

rigid mango
#

Then yeah

#

assa

spice surge
#

But outlaw is not bad at all for ST

rigid mango
#

I'd say assa has better dps for all 3

#

of those

fluid kraken
#

Well outlaw is rng if no get procs dps is lowwwww

rigid mango
#

well

#

not as low as u think

spice surge
#

I think outlaw is better on jaina than assa

rigid mango
#

They don't lose TOO much dps from bad rolls, because they get even more from the good ones

spice surge
#

But its inconsistent, which sucks for progress

#

So its worth to take a very minor hit to your damage to be slightly more consistent

#

But even then, outlaw variance isnt THAT much higher than assa either, on longer fights

fluid kraken
#

Hmm i get it.. i just usually see assas in raids are top melee dps xd anyways thnx guys !

tough skiff
#

Assasin can top Outlaw on Opulence easily.
3x EB + Hidden Blades + Toxic Blade + Opal Gem
fok

fringe lily
#

what's the thoughts on multiple nothing personals? All the top rogues on warcraft logs are running with multiple nothing peronals, however when I sim myself it always recommends taking something else such as treacherous covenant

spice surge
#

@tough skiff Outlaws burst aoe is still better and they're not sacrificing the entire p1 to pad in p2

#

And the top rank of all rogues that is assa is 176, with all the 175 before him being outlaw

tough skiff
#

3x DD
2x NP
1 TC
is great too but for fights with little adds, like Gonk, Mekka and Wall

spice surge
#

TC gets worse the better gear you have, whereas traits such as NP get better the more gear you have as well

#

Just use what sims the highest for ST

tough skiff
#

u dont sacrifice the entire P1 if you are lucky and ur Az armor have SS + EB

plain thistle
#

but you do

spice surge
#

Playing with 3 less azerite traits is

plain thistle
#

since EB does nothing for p1

spice surge
#

EXTREMLY bad

tough skiff
#

you can check wowlogs top assasin rogue how he beat outlaw easily

plain thistle
#

yes, padding

spice surge
#

?

#

Thats what i said

#

The best assa parse

#

is behind 175 outlaw parses

plain thistle
#

but no, the best parse is still outlaw

tough skiff
#

but none of us are top rogues so we should play the spec we handle best

plain thistle
#

๐Ÿค”

dark crag
#

What's considered a top rogue?

real bay
#

EB on opulence nice meme

round harbor
#

@ruby idol playing sin in shrine

tough skiff
round harbor
#

interesting

spice surge
#

And the top outlaw rogue

#

Did 15k more dps (roughly 30% more)

plain thistle
#

yeah, 100% comparing it to other players playing assa

#

๐Ÿค”

tough skiff
#

the top outlaw on Opulence isnt even 100% parse

spice surge
#

?

round harbor
#

wait are we argueing sin vs outlaw on opulence

#

LOL

plain thistle
#

I think you dont understand how warcraftlogs works

dark crag
#

Real men play sub

regal tundra
#

@tough skiff I think you don't understand what the percentiles from Warcraftlogs are

unborn barn
#

Would you nice fellow assassination rogues use 2x EB and 2x SS or 3x EB and 1 ss,

tough skiff
#

Sub is dead dont even mention it

round harbor
#

3eb 3 ss

#

4head

unborn barn
#

Cant ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

EB is amazing on reaping!

round harbor
#

depends on the key but id go 3eb

unborn barn
#

Can even beat frost mages and DH's

round harbor
#

whenever possible

real bay
#

that guy is probably the raid lead or he'd get his ass kicked for playing pad only traits

unborn barn
#

I'm of course talking about mythic+ here..

strange python
#

What Gem did he have? 2xEB is... hmm

real bay
#

opal for sure

strange python
#

Opal + EB. lol.... I rather parse lower just not to be a paddboy

real bay
#

nearly 1min slower kill than ours.. ok

#

dumb boss, anyways

heavy skiff
#

HB is the way to go on opi

#

Opu

left walrus
#

Is anyone using scent of blood for mythic+ ? Seems like it should be good, especially on fortified?

spice surge
#

Its ok, but generally EB and SS are better

golden relic
#

Dad playing assa i got a tear in my eye

left walrus
#

I have 2ss, 2eb, 1np and 1 sob. Should be a pretty good setup? Cant use top gear, I dont have any options for 2 of the slots

rigid mango
strange python
#

For m+?

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

I wanna see what my best prio dmg set up would be

#

And seli activly pushes it, I'd love to try it

#

It sorta just comes down to the mix of eb/ss/ttk

strange python
#

I think Sel would go:
Ironhide (EB/TTK)
Pistoner (EB/TTK)
Conclave (TTK/SS)
3xTTK, 2xEB, 1xSS

Thing is, I know he want to have Gorak. so maybe try to go
Ironhide (EB/TTK)
Gorak (SS/BBI)
Conclave (SS/TTK) or (SS/EB)
2x TTK, 2xEB, 1xSS, 1xBBI

But i dunno what the rest of your gear is or if you are Nelf.

Option 1 feels more into the style Sel is normalyl talking about tho ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

rigid mango
#

I'm not a nelf, I'm a velf

#

And yeah thanks

#

I would assume bbi is on the list of wants tho

strange python
#

Ye, he told me just the other day to use it. I have done some dungeons with it and it is very very strong ๐Ÿ˜„

#

And here he is ๐Ÿ˜„

marble hemlock
#

irontides with eb+ttk, goraktuls with ss+bbi, indomitable will with ttk+ss

#

if youre nelf, go ss+ttk in helmet and eb+ss in chest instead

#

basically up to you, you can mix any combination of eb/ttks/ss

#

if you want more aoe, go 2EB, if you want more prio, go 2ttk etc.

strange python
#

So Nelf = 3xSS, 1xEB, 1xTTK, 1xEB. Exang i guess + still having crit as highest?

marble hemlock
#

ye

strange python
#

Haste at 5% too low?

marble hemlock
#

doesnt matter

rigid mango
#

Is it genuinly worth going exang if you're a nelf and runnin 3x SS @marble hemlock ?

marble hemlock
#

yes

#

i mean

#

if you wanna blast singletarget, then yes

rigid mango
#

and you just run PB at all times ye?

#

I've been debating swapping nelf

#

never see anyone running exsang tho tbh

#

but ig that's just anecdotal info that can be entirely off

marble hemlock
#

hard to say, ive only played nelf for 3 keys on tournament realm

#

ran PB for KR/Atal and CT for freehold

#

well, i tried CT for KR as well when we tried bigger pulls

#

but i didnt really get much practice before healer got banned

rigid mango
#

Got banned?

#

And in general when just pugging similar stuff, 17-20's would it be worth taking CT for FH or was that specific to your MDI runs?

marble hemlock
#

freehold is just a good CT dungeon

#

big pulls, lots of kiting, means PB is a bit worse on trash and CT has good value, esp with hte setup i ran

#

with 3ss, 2bbi, 1eb and galecallers

#

ct with galecallers is gud

golden relic
#

gear setup on serenious in the mdi in temple atm is interesting, that double BBI though PiratePoggers

marble hemlock
#

i wonder where he got that from ๐Ÿ™„

golden relic
#

xd

marble hemlock
#

not playing exsang/gc tho

#

so slight deviation to what i ran

golden relic
#

ye i was questionmarking the TB pick

marble hemlock
#

well, every team is different

#

i basically ran pure st on boss+reaping pulls and didnt even fok for envenom-funnels

#

so outlaw had longer uptime on reaping for more wits prio

cosmic prism
#

do you use envnom as soon as u get to 4-5 combo points?

balmy stump
#

what are best azerite traits for raid?

#

like st

strange python
#

Depends @cosmic prism , if u have nothign to do and you're at low energy is not bad to wait a bit

#

To have a bit of energy pool just in case

#

Maybe im wrong but i usually do that

livid bronze
#

for M+ like Motherload, would you go 3 Echoing Blades and Hidden Blades?

#

Key level around 15

pastel vault
#

ya

rigid mango
#

@balmy stump Check the pins/bloodmallet/herodamage and you should see a good bunch of info

strange python
#

poggers or not poggers

rigid mango
#

it's sorta weird

#

Haste is good for ST, Mastery is good for m+

strange python
#

mastery feelsbadman

rigid mango
#

but neither is good for the other

turbid stratus
#

is ss still good for singel target or is 3 nothing personal 3 dd with master assassin the way to go for st

spice surge
#

Wdym by mastery is good for m+

#

Crit is the goto stat for m+

#

Mastery is the goto stat for raid when you get better gear

strange python
#

haste/crit is what always raidbots tells me to go ๐Ÿ˜„

lost horizon
#

Yeah, mastery has pulled ahead for me ST

strange python
#

haste mast sims the best for me with MA build

#

but i have 29% crit so probably why

sweet bridge
#

Hey guys! Why I do not see the designation of empowered garrote on Mizerok WA after using "Shadowmeld". Does bliz somthing changed?

humble crane
#

No

cobalt pelican
#

depends on what's on the custom condition of the wa you're using

#

most of them don't have meld ss garrote by default (there might be a technical reason for this, not sure)

civic palm
#

@sweet bridge Because that tracks Subterfuge triggers (from stealth) and not just Shrouded Suffocation.

lost horizon
#

I pestered mystler to add it to his logic block since I couldn't get it to work for myself

civic palm
#

imo tracking just SS isn't worth it, can track Shadowmeld and if it's still near 2min CD you know Garrote is SS Empowered.

weak zenith
#

in a trash pull that is 5+ mobs is it best to spam fan of knives and rupture with garrote on cd or is something different/

#

?

lost horizon
#

No reason not to have it if you've got other snapshots indicated imo

#

I do agree it's probably not worth the effort though to make it tbh

#

@weak zenith sorta depends on traits, but on AoE non empowered garrotes aren't really worth

weak zenith
#

so the 3 garrotes then spam FoK and rupture?

lost horizon
#

If you use HB+EB and pull big you just finish for EP uptime

#

If you use ttk you can funnel envenoms into prio target

weak zenith
#

alrighty tyvm

sweet bridge
#

@civic palm got it! thanks!

zenith gust
#

guys how is hidden blades played correctly? should i just treat it like a passive, or should i actually play it like let it get to a certain amount of stacks before using it?

muted jacinth
#

mastery is my highest stat weight atm for st

round harbor
#

Bandoloero just play normally

#

And at the end of pack when stuff has low hp you might start to use mutilate instead if your going into a big pack

civic palm
#

Just treat Hidden Blades like the math it is.

Get +20% DMG after 2 seconds or get +200% DMG after 20 seconds

You can hit FoK every 2 seconds for +20% or wait 20 seconds and get 1 FoK off for 200%.

It scales linearly so you don't lose anything for not waiting.

Obviously +200% DMG is going to be more impressive when you have other DMG amplifiers stacked, but you don't get many options for that.

In reality you are spamming FoK more than every 2 seconds (GCD is 1second) so saving for the 200% burst might actually just be a DPS loss.

Do keep in mind what is coming up though; much like managing your CDs, hitting FoK on ~2 targets with Reaping coming up after the current pack might not be your best use of your GCDs and instead it might be better to simply MUT the remaining trash down.

rustic ether
#

testing out a build on heroic grongg pugs to get used to it in raid before i start progging on it

#

a warrior is asking me why im using iron wire

#

because it does nothing to the boss

zenith gust
#

@civic palm ok, thx, so should i just spam it like crazy (which i atm) or wait for a stack of the buff? and another question, should i even use it on a boss? like with 10 or 20 stacks?

civic palm
#

The other two options don't do anything there either > _> @rustic ether

dark crag
#

Are the adds different for alliance?

civic palm
#

Says it's for trash because the tank is too much a pussy to tank.

#

@zenith gust Yeah play like normal for trash, IIRC you save until like... 15+ stacks I think for ST.

#

But that was before Echoing Blades.

#

and that trait gives a passive damage increase to FoK as well.

#

So it might be earlier but I am not sure.

zenith gust
#

yeah, i play 3xEB

civic palm
#

@dark crag The theme is different for Grong IIRC, the spells work the same though.

dark crag
#

Alliance never see the "smash monkey, horde bad" robots?

civic palm
#

We get ghost adds that we have to kill and pick up an item, functions the same.

#

interrupt the same. etc.

dark crag
#

"Who's a good monkey? You are" is hilarious

cobalt gyro
#

@civic palm our arena is slightly larger as well

#

the adds aren 't close together as often

civic palm
#

True sometimes they spawn about 2 bosses ago.

#

Can take the fucking duration of Sprint to get there > _>"

cobalt gyro
#

ye.

#

i was on a 99% parse run on our reclears too which was pog

civic palm
#

Just stand on the tank ๐Ÿ˜ 

cobalt gyro
#

then i died at the end

#

to expected dmg

civic palm
#

Course.

high wolf
#

If you ahve both galecallers boon and lustrous golden plumage how do you prioritse usage or do you just always use plum with vendetta and use boon when it wont affect vendetta timing and on cd

civic palm
#

You take one off or find another trinket unless you wanna stagger things like that.

lost horizon
#

@civic palm tbf your HB explanation doesn't take into account variable pack size

#

finishing 2 mobs up for reaping? hold out on FoK grab some stacks and blast

#

otherwise though i absolutely agree

civic palm
#

There will always be more variables :3

#

But I will add it just in case someone ends up pinning that rambling.

Is there a way to reset a weak aura back to its original positioning? I accidently fucked one up and can't get it back to the original positioning and dont have the import string or w/e anymore

civic palm
#

Redownload it ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

lost horizon
#

yeah you'd have to reimport to get it back to original if you don't know how to move it where it needs to be

ocean rampart
#

You can simply change x and y offset to 0 in display tab so you can have it at center of your screen then u can move it

warm harbor
#

Anyone here with m Jaina exp used galecallers? is it a decent trinket for the fight?

dry thicket
#

Use something else :D

fringe lily
#

I dont think galecallers is a decent trinket for any fight

rough yarrow
#

its cancer

fringe lily
#

Sims high, but in practice it is a pain in the arse, and wont come close to giving you that sim dps

dry thicket
#

I use it on some fights but on jaina you dont want to play the trinket minigame

fringe lily
#

Get into KR and get plumage

dry thicket
#

Early on in jaina progression i was using azerite infusion (i think thats the name) where you need to stand in it for main stat

#

Realised quickly how cancer that is

fringe lily
#

Oof

strange python
#

How many targets do you generally rupture out of stealth with subterfuge?

#

In M+.

cosmic pier
#

3

strange python
#

thanks dad

cosmic pier
#

oh rupture

#

you mean garrote or.....

strange python
#

ye garrote is 6 with vanish

#

but rupture

#

do u use it ever ๐Ÿค”

#

ravenholdt says "when your target won't die"

#

and it's like everything is going to die

cosmic pier
#

not inside subterfuge window

#

but you need to keep 3 ruptures running for energy regen

strange python
#

is there anything useful to help keep track or that? Or... nameplates.

cosmic pier
#

nameplates

fringe lily
#

Nameplates

cosmic pier
#

should track garrote, rupture and posions

strange python
#

gotcha, I'm just stupid then

cosmic pier
#

at a minimum

fringe lily
#

KuiNameplates with the debuff size increased

cosmic pier
#

^

#

its the easiest solution

forest jetty
#

Get plater and costumize it. my nameplates change colour wenn rupture and poison are applied

strange python
#

I run plater

#

I used kui in the past for sin

cosmic pier
#

i swapped from elvui's plates to kui, the 8.1.5 update was garbage

strange python
#

yeah i've never liked elvui

#

ever since elv wrote a rat into it like 5 years ago

cosmic pier
#

any soure on that? only played since legion

#

*source

strange python
#

he removed it

#

but it was there yeah

#

it's not that I'm worried about someone exploiting it so much as

#

the fact that that was ever released as production code makes me wary of using it again

#

ty for your help

cosmic pier
#

it's just issuing ingame commands though right? wow addons aren't able to make http requests are they?

strange python
#

no they're sandboxed

#

but ingame commands can clean out your guild

#

this is how I've kinda set up the nameplates to show ruptures and garrotes

#

it's so difficult to manage garrotes ><

round harbor
#

just use bigdumbnamesplates 4head

#

whitelist what u wanna see and just leave everything erlse off them

strange python
#

on MT is rupture supposed to take up a large portion of damage? I assume it is

cosmic pier
#

rupture provides some damage, but it's main use is giving you energy to spam FoK or fok >envenom

strange python
#

I see

#

so garrote damage isn't as important

#

keeping up garrotes isn't as important on AoE as it is ST

#

and I should focus more on using it on cd than really keeping it fully up on 3 targets

#

I guess if you use it on CD it will be up on 3 targets no matter what

#

as long as you don't overlap

tropic ocean
#

you dont really reapply garrote on aoe after you used the 3 from stealth

#

you just keep 3 ruptures and spam fok envenom

#

or put 1 crimson tempest if you use that

jaunty lotus
#

Oh, so i've been doing that wrong

bleak spoke
#

@tropic ocean just garrote 1 Garrote 2 Garrote 3 and- :^)

tropic ocean
#

Well I only do it first 3 out of stealth then keep ruptured up and fok envenom cuz can sustain anyways and more dps

bleak spoke
#

Im doing the musclebrah meme haha

#

On the topic of nameplates, if you like the blizzard plates just download flyplatebuffs and youโ€™re golden ๐Ÿ‘

#

Since when can you parry range attacks?

marble hemlock
#

you cannot

#

im guessing "it worked yesterday" just was a lucky dodge

strange python
#

Can you use evasion?

warm parcel
#

Yes should be able to

#

Evasion causes you to dodge all ranged attacks

#

Some skills are just made to hit tho

#

So trial and error

tropic ocean
#

It worked yesterday!!! Best player in the world

golden relic
#

yesterday garrote1 garrote 2 garrote 3 worked

cosmic prism
#

one think that puts me off about sin is that it seems you have to choose aoe azerite traits to be effective in dungeons, is that true?

golden relic
#

I mean

#

u mean not being able to play same traits in everything like outlaw? yes

cosmic prism
#

yes essentially

golden relic
#

@marble hemlock I was gna ask, have you played with 1 EB just so u can play with BBI ? Never tried anything less then 2 , obvsly if I dont need the aoe it makes sense like kR/temple , but in general u think the BBI is good enough to sac an EB

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

it is

teal bane
#

Is there like a weakaura that makes multi dots on 2 targets easier?
I can only see the debuffs as small windows over the enemy healthbar on my second target

strong needle
#

Question for you guys, I have two rogues. One has 2 EB, 2 SS, 1BR, 1TtK and uses PB. Other one has 3 EB, 2SS, 1 RF and uses HB.

I did FH on both, on the 2 EB one I had 20% garrote, 14% FoK and 12% EB, On the one with 3 EB, I had 22% Garrote, 17% FoK but only 8% EB.

Any reason why EB is way lower with 3? His iLvl is lower since he's kinda new but I was under the impression that 3 EB would be higher

magic mural
#

Eb needs crit, with low Ilvl, you won't have the secondary stats to go for 3eb. Or at least it's not that effective.. That would be my assumption

strong needle
#

Make sense, I have higher crit on the other rogue and also the trinket from Mekka. So I guess I should go with 3 SS for now until I get more crit

strange python
#

Both ST and Dungeonslice sim higher with TB than Exang. I use 1xTTK, 1xEB, 1xBBI, 3xSS. Can i seriously trust the sims? 3xSS (as Nelf) and still not Exang? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

So I recently got a dead eye Trinket but can't see any thing on mobs when it procs, any1 how to get it added onto nameplates for tidy plates?

I did check the pins. Unless Iโ€™m blind as hell I donโ€™t see it..

strange python
#

Hey fellow rogues with a better memory than mine

#

Did haste affect our bleeds back in TBC?

spice surge
#

@rose stag You dont need to worry about it

#

You dont need to auto attack it, it stacks of fok and bleeds

quartz dew
#

haste on bleeds was pretty much this expansion was it not

strange python
#

My memory says it didnt affect our bleeds back then, but the argument im having with a fellow rogue claims otherwise

#

Hence me asking, cause my memory might be flawed cuz im old ๐Ÿ˜›

spell dots didn't even scale with haste until 3.3 but it seems unlikely that bleeds did in tbc

#

guys in an m+ with x3 ss and x3 eb after the 3 garrotes and 4-5 ruptures applied my energy is perma capped. do u just spam fok at this point or fok>envenom on prio target fishing bombs ? its seems meter wise just spamming fok gives way more dmg overall.

spice surge
#

You dont need to apply 5 ruptures after you have 3 garrotes up

#

You need a total of 4 bleeds to not go out of energy

rough yarrow
#

ok so spam fok or envenom?

spice surge
#

If you want aoe then fok (if you have multiple EB) if you want to damage a specific mob you envenom

#

so for example, you can garrote 3 > rupture and then starting to envenom/fok

#

Until garrotes start being close to run out

#

Then you rupture again

rough yarrow
#

meter wise not even close

spice surge
#

If you want aoe then fok (if you have multiple EB) if you want to damage a specific mob you envenom

rough yarrow
#

at least in my case

#

no

#

i have usually 2 million poison bomb dmg

#

on tyra ct is no no

#

ill try next week

spice surge
#

PB is generally the goto talent, you need to do very specific stuff to make either of the other two talents worthwhile

tranquil silo
#

You probably want to finish to keep EP up

#

Otherwise spam fok

pale agate
#

M+ dps varies a lot on the dungeon, affixes, how the tank pulls, and who the other dps specs are

#

but yeah that range sounds pretty reasonable

wanton glade
#

@rough yarrow you spam fok, and you maintain three bleeds after opener. EP needs not to be refreshed with 3 EB; with 2 EB you rupture or envenom at 5 CP to refresh EP.

loud blade
#

hi guys, back after a long break. For raiding / mythic +, is there a massive difference between Ass and Outlaw these days?

spice surge
#

You need 4 bleeds to not have negative energy regen

#

No, both outlaw and assa very are good, play whatever you prefer

#

wanton glade

@spice surge 4 indded

pale agate
#

has blizzard ever documented how tab targeting works? I've noticed that sometimes if you hit tab while mobs are casting, it'll prioritize targeting them first. really useful for garrote silence. but if you had targeted them recently then it seems less likely to target one of them. curious how exactly this is supposed to work, sometimes it feels so random but sometimes it's like it can read my mind

wanton glade
#

@pale agate before last patch it was selecting nearest target always first. @marble hemlock was mentioning the other day that something has changed, which seems to be the case according to my post patch exp in tabbing mobs.

marble hemlock
#

ye, theres definitely been a shift in how the tab-targetting behaviour works

#

it used to prioritize marked mobs/mobs with a spotlight, so if you had your nameplates set up to spotlight mobs that were using interruptible spells, those would be prioritized

#

but that doesnt seem to be the case anymore

#

instead its just random

wanton glade
#

"instead its just random" monkaS

pale agate
#

hmm so last night when I was playing, during reaping waves I will usually wait for one of them to start casting before I break stealth, and I found that tab would pretty consistently target the caster, almost every time

#

it could be a coincidence too, IIRC it was not 100% consistent

#

I did not know that the behavior had to do with nameplate spotlighting though, good info

Bursting Blood still best for ST Outlaw?

i tried Bursting blood in reapings.. and im getting like 130k dmg o.O and with agility sometimes 100k and someties 50-60k

my opinion bursting blood is better for big pulls

what's the best time to use vendetta on siege 1st and 2nd bosses?

pale agate
#

i've been trying to time it on first boss to match up the burst window with his 50% extra damage taken debuff when he walks into bombs

#

not sure if it has made a difference

rustic ether
#

if you arent pulling reaping into it that might be a good use as well

#

but when you pull reaping into it you can just dump 2 million dmg into him lmao

pale agate
#

yeah I can see that being ideal

I really need to find a consistent group to play with, i've only sometimes seen pug tanks willing to do that

The Assa we are running with is either running Poison Bomb when we need focus dmg and for general purpose or Crimson Tempest on Fortified weeks with big pulls.

raven osprey
#

hey guys, been playing assa the whole expansion, havent seriously tried outlaw for m+ and so far I'm pretty happy with what I do in aoe and ST, slowly working my way up and currently at +12-+13 keys. not entirely sure if it will get an issue going higher keys? i love the silence and kidney shot over what outlaw offers. I mainly see only outlaw rogues running around, not feeling like switching but on the other hand I don't want to become a drawback for the team

valid kayak
#

Ehhhh sorry my autocorrect fucked that sentence up haha. Must sim it myself later

rustic ether
#

@raven osprey im going into 2500+ range

#

sin is perfectly fine in higher keys

valid kayak
#

Outlaw is fotm right now, sin is perfectly fine, bring both multi and single target to the group

prisma monolithBOT
#

Id read the pins

rustic ether
#

this bot is going to be the end of me

prisma monolithBOT
#

Id read the pins

valid kayak
#

hahaha

raven osprey
#

thanks guys. yeah my feeling was I might do more aoe but a big loss of ST as outlaw. will def keep sticking to it, just wish I'd finally get higher azerite pieces with good traits, the pain is real

rustic ether
#

@raven osprey to be totally honest sin is in a really sweet spot for m+ that its doing really good dmg but its not getting any of the spotlight in the MDI

#

so it wont (PROBABLY*) get hit by the balance bat like outlaw more than likely will

prisma monolithBOT
#

Have you seen the guide

rustic ether
#

@prisma monolith i swear to god

vestal wren
#

5% chance stikes quite often for you^^

raven osprey
#

can't we just mutilate him?

modest jasper
#

Sin in M+ is also a good bit more reliant on Azerite Pieces to perform really amazing.

rustic ether
#

yeah 100% thats why most people run outlaw is because you need specific traits, versus outlaw just needing one trait and then a slew of others

vestal wren
#

i think its fair to say that all specs somewhat depend on azerite for performance

modest jasper
#

Ye, exactly. Outlaw just grab a Wits and throw some other stuff in the mix and you'll be good to go.

rustic ether
#

yeah

raven osprey
#

yeah probably, i really am comfortable with sin and it was just the thought that outlaw would help the group more with more dmg going higher keys but I've always been either 1st or 2nd in my main group and even in pugs

modest jasper
#

Oh, definitely. Just feels like Assa requires more to get to a good stage compared to others.

rustic ether
#

you WANT to run deadshot/ace but you can run blitz/TC/snake etc.

modest jasper
#

Like I have 2xEB 2xSS 1xTTK 1x Relational on Assa and it feels great in M+. Friend does not have SS+EB on any pieces and he says it's super unfun.

raven osprey
#

its def more hectic to play aswell, but i prefer that

rustic ether
#

something people dont really realize is that Gouge is a major part in why outlaw is fotm

raven osprey
#

I have 3EB, 1xSS, 1xTTK, 1xNP, 1xEH (yes i wanna cry)

modest jasper
#

something people don't use is Gouge.

rustic ether
#

having one extra piece of disorienting CC is huge if youre pulling a dozen mobs who need interupts

#

specially with how low a cd gouge is

modest jasper
#

Some friends say "hey, those guys have the same gear we have and yet they can pull 20 packs and we die at 3, why is that?"

subtle aurora
#

Hey guys shrouding after first pack, in m+ ToS , how do u properly sap the hidden snake at the corner?

modest jasper
#

Gouge also is on a different DR than stun.

rustic ether
#

you just get near it

modest jasper
#

So even if you got full stun immunity you can gouge for interrupt.

rustic ether
#

and when it appears you clicky sap

subtle aurora
#

I get near it it sees me and rip key :/

rustic ether
#

yeah Gouge has a special DR

subtle aurora
#

Fast fingers?

rustic ether
#

nah

#

you can stop right in front of melee range

#

and it will appear

#

you sap

#

and then go right through it

modest jasper
#

Just take it slow, go there step by step.

#

Until it pops up then sap.

raven osprey
#

@subtle aurora I had the same issue yesterday

rustic ether
#

everyone needs to be on the same page thats all

modest jasper
#

Rather take 10s for that than rip the key ๐Ÿ˜„

subtle aurora
#

Hmm ok. I tried 4 times, only successful once

prisma monolithBOT
#

Sounds like feelycraft

raven osprey
#

is the stealth add affected by distract?

rustic ether
#

if everyone just fucking runs past you as youre still trying to sap it, scream at them and call them bad

subtle aurora
#

Guess gotta keep practicing

rustic ether
#

it should in theory be affected but it shouldnt matter

raven osprey
#

as much as I saw in a video it really is like take a 1s stop, no moving

rustic ether
#

you should be using distract on the previous pack

#

yeah just stop for a second in the appropriate spot

#

as practice just find that special spot before you start key

subtle aurora
#

Oh I sap the previous snake, then stop at the corner and try to sap again lol

raven osprey
#

there's a vid on youtube of all shroud skips you can see it pretty well in there

rustic ether
#

yeah you do both

raven osprey
#

but didnt have a chance to practive again

subtle aurora
#

"Special spot" = facing that corner?

rustic ether
#

not your direction

#

theres a special distance that isnt in his detection range for you

#

but you can detect him

#

i think its 8 yards versus 5 yards

subtle aurora
#

Oh so don't get too close to that corner, but still face it.

#

Wait for it appear and sap it

rustic ether
#

because you need to find the spot where you stand still durign your shroud and find him and sap him

#

exactly

#

you cant stand still for too long or esle your shroud is going to drop early and the slackers will fall behind and pull

#

ive seen Musclebrah do it in basically 1/10th of a second barely even stopping

#

if you REALLY want to be a scuffed dickhead you could make a /target /cast sap marco that you SPAM

subtle aurora
#

Hmm I think I will just practice it hahahahahh

merry zinc
#

can someone explain to me how the pre shroud in m+ works?

vestal wren
#

use shroud before the key starts

cosmic pier

shroud before keystone is started, then the cooldown resets

#

so you get ~3-4 extra seconds of shroud

merry zinc
#

ah okay thank you

seems to be neccessary if u want to shroud all at start of tos

cosmic pier

yup

#

thats the main use for it

gives you enough time to get past all the shit and sap the sneaky boi

Hello fellow sleepy stab boyos

will 1 NP, 2 ss, 2 DD, 1 ttk for mythic Gronk and Jadefire be fine`? could replace ttk with dagger

I run 2xSS on grong mythic

#

Vanish lines up with each add spawn and you can garotte everything for mega damage

#

Adds spawn at 30, 2:30, 4:30

#

But yeah seems fine to run that setup

forest jetty
#

ok ty

#

I know that ttk is nice in m+ because of fok-> envonem spam, but is it worth in raid too?

cobalt pelican

it's sub par unless the other traits in the piece are great (see: cephalohide)

velvet kernel
#

is nothing personal really the best trait now?

forest jetty

what does sub par mean?

worse than other options

#

for raid DD, NP, TC

gonna be your best bet

1-2 SS if you wanna go for logs on certain fights

So for my m+ set I am at 34% crit 5% haste 5% vers 35% mastery, I can go all the way up to 17% haste but my crit goes to about 23-25%. Is the 5% haste just better for keys in general?

Yeah thatโ€™s really low, never tried it that low though, so may be workable. Honestly depends on traits, your group composition and the dungeon

We are all pretty low ST where it is about 4-5 minute fights. But we are spending equal time running to the bosses as our multi is very high

#

Itโ€™s not brainless reaping padding if thereโ€™s nobody else in your comp that can deal with the reaping quickly... if you take echoing blades and do 150k in reaping then thatโ€™s fine to me

cosmic pier
#

its more like if everyone in your comp is doing 100k and your doing 150, your not really speeding it up that much

#

i like 3 eb in fort weeks, but prefer 3 ttk for tyran

#

usually run 3 ttk 2 eb 1 ss

#

Nobody beats my logs!

night vale
#

I donโ€™t have a lot of azerite gear tbh! I just run 3xss and 3xeb regardless of the week. Works for my group comp cause we have a marksman hunter that wrecks the bosses

cosmic pier
#

only thing you'll find as you progress higher, 3 ss really holds you back from chain pulling

#

I've caved and play outlaw most the time now, just because you can turn trash into one continous pull

night vale
#

Yeah tbh, we donโ€™t chain pull too much so I always get a second to restealth or the healer to drink w/e. So garotte damage is really nice like usually 9k of my dps is from garotte

cosmic pier
#

yeah, in weeks where we are forced to reset (bolstering) its really nice

empty badge
#

This week I find my team chain pulling, a lot. I am still running 2 eb/1 ss/1 ttk/ 1 BI/ 1 NP (I dont have the best Azerite, its actually all 385)

#

I was running 3 SS but with chain pulling, even as a NE, its hard

#

and without chain pulling its even harder to time an 18

#

I mean without chain pulling we are finding timers within 1 minute, instead of say 5-7 minutes left

shell zealot
#

If u wanna chain pull eb is the best and so is SoB, im still running 2ep, 3 ss, 1 sob, and im ending 15-16 with 30-36k overall, though u need another really good dps that can also st hard.

#

I dont have other competative triats, this is the best comp i got

night vale
#

Yeah I mean on big trash pull EB is my biggest damage source anyway so the chain pulls donโ€™t hurt me too much and SS is there for bosses and a nice bonus on trash when I get a restealth

shell zealot
#

Sob maks ur longer and larger packs hit 100k

#

Get 4 runing

#

And u nuke

#

But for this build, unless its freehold/motherlode dont ever take Crimson tempest, ur st will suffer tremendously, but u can hit over 200k on reaping if done right xD

Haha

#

what traits should i run as ASSA?

#

for m+

tough skiff
#

3x EB 3x SS

cosmic pier
#

the all round build is 2 EB 2 SS 2 TTK. but theres a lot of room to tweak your damage based on what you need with different traits

empty badge
#

Yeah Personally I would run 3 EB, 1 SS, 2 TTK

#

as a generic build

bleak spoke
#

222โ€™s problem is that it doesnโ€™t do anything particularly well imo

cosmic pier
#

yup, once you start climbing either 3 eb 2 ttk 1 ss or 3 ttk 2 eb 1 ss is what id go with

bleak spoke
#

Yeah if you play with a dedicated group 3tk is very strong

empty badge
#

I would never 3 ttk

bleak spoke
#

3 eb for pug hero

cosmic pier
#

I usually swap based on tyran/fort

strange python
#

The dream (for me) would be 2xEB, 2xTTK, 1xSS, 1xBBI

bleak spoke
#

3tk makes you kinda like a sub rogue that isnโ€™t garbaj on reaping

cosmic pier
#

why bother with the 1 bbi? why not just another eb or ttk?

empty badge
#

BBI is goooood

cosmic pier
#

surely theyre worth more for damage

bleak spoke
#

Canโ€™t have blifhtborne with anything but ss

#

So you have to play uh

#

Irontide hat gorak mantle ceph jacket I think

#

Might be a different hat

cosmic pier
#

keen to find out how traits and stuff work in 8.2, hopefully it makes it easier to build what you want

bleak spoke
#

I think personally though you play 3 eb if youโ€™re gonna blightborne

#

Cuz you might crit more but you have less impact while gritting

#

Odowla has an alliance piece thatโ€™s blightborne eb though

#

But thatโ€™s not 415

spice surge
#

1 BBI trait is roughly 19% crit when it proccs

#

Its absolutely insane

glass seal
#

And it procs often, that trait is actually bonkers

golden relic
#

BBI feels pog af with other things proccing aswell, but even as a solo proc its funky

tough skiff
#

people run what they have, but if u want to compete with outlaw on M+ 3xEB + 3xSS is the way to go with Crit stacked

bleak spoke
#

Only if you get restealths though

#

With the way pulls are done now multiple SS has to be played around tbh

strange python
#

That's just incorrect tho Bamboo

#

There's plenty of very close damage combinations for assa

#

Triple SS x2 BI x1 EB was a popular build on tournament realm for example

#

the TTK build can compete on raw damage with triple eb triple ss as well

#

you should honestly play around with a few more builds, assa is such an open space for interesting testing ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

tough skiff
#

u cant compete with outlaw with 1 EB

strange python
#

yes, you can

prisma monolithBOT
#

I'd read the pins

strange python
#

well tbf assa can never compete with outlaw, even with triple eb

#

but the triple ss 2bi 1 eb build is probably the highest assa damage build

prisma monolithBOT
#

Did you remember to apply poisons?

strange python
#

sadly it's only available on TR

#

but even triple SS 1 bi 2 eb is insane on live

#

tirple eb is very overrated

#

What? where did you get this information from?

#

playing?

#

"well tbf assa can never compete with outlaw, even with triple eb"

#

You don't even need 3x EB and you still can

#

lol

#

define compete

marble hemlock
#

"you cant compete with outlaw" why choose to try to do the same that outlaw does

prisma monolithBOT
#

Did you sim yourself?

marble hemlock
#

instead of utilizing any of the other important parts that arent solely AoE related that you focus on

#

to help your group

strange python
#

which is why I prefer ttk build

marble hemlock
#

and you can easily compete with outlaw

strange python
#

or even bbi build

#

I assume, based on your statement, that you only look at over all. and Assa can easily compete with overall. But overall is not even the most important thing so I don't agree with you for a second

tough skiff
#

how much dps u pull on reaping with ttk build?

marble hemlock
#

thats the wrong question

sonic bridge
#

around 60k

marble hemlock
#

the right question would be "do the tormented/lost souls die quicker with ttk build compared to an EB one, or compared to playing outlaw"

#

to which the answer is: yes

#

the important metric for keys isnt dps. its time.

strange python
#

which is why I asked braxoo to define compete

#

if you're speaking in terms of overall dps I dont think assa cna compete personally

marble hemlock
#

people only look at dps and extrapolate from there which classes are best

#

when it should be the other way around

strange python
#

but if you're looking at it in terms of overall time saved

tough skiff
#

75k-125k dps on reaping with EB build

strange python
#

then I think assa can easily compete

marble hemlock
#

look at each class/spec individually, and see what they can bring to the table to make the key go faster

strange python
#

an answer to a question which doesnt matter

tough skiff
#

with 3x SS you pull ahead on dps on medium packs and with 3x EB you destroy everyone on reaping. But everyone play whatever they feel best for them.

marble hemlock
#

ideal setup right now is one big aoe class, one with prio, one for st/utility

#

you dont need multiple aoe blasters

#

or, at most, 2

#

assa has the flexibility to pick and choose whether they w anna go for more prio, or more aoe, and thats a decision that needs to be made within each group individually

prisma monolithBOT
#

I'm playing WoW since 2005 and I disagree.

cant make any blanket statements with a spec whose biggest strength is flexibility

im just waiting for a details update that lets you remove risen soul damage from the overall

Using gorak's for outlaw makes me sick

it's bis for outlaw

u wanna be truly sick?

lemme login, 1 sec

hollow stone

Because its bis for sin raiding and been hunting all tier lol

strange python

bis for both specs really lol

hollow stone

And you took blitz over bbi

Which also makes me sad

strange python
#

I dont have blitz anywhere else

Because blitz is better than bbi

so yes

spice surge

For outlaw

why do people spout 3 eb 3 ss, it's so impractical in so many situations

What would be the best trait setup for a "high" kings rest? 15-20 range

strange python

tbh if you're coming onto the discord with such a broad question like "what's best m+ trait for assa", it's p expected to get such a vague answer such as "3ss 3eb"

cosmic pier
#

3 ttk 2 eb 1 ss

strange python
#

depends on the affixes but I'd prefer ttk build on KR

#

I still havent played the bi build in kr

but should nice neat as well

bi build has nice st burst

actualy probs that bbi build if you have it

1 x blood rite vs 1 x SoB ? BR sims a bit higher, but... i feel like would get more damage out of SoB, specially on 3xEB + 2xSS
