fallen bay
#

i mean from DPS perspective

stuck knoll
#

Well does spending 20 quid on around +/- 50 dps sound worth

#

You can check the actual race differences on herodamage

#

But tbh just change if you think the utility sounds worth

#

And you like how they look

fallen bay
#

i know sims says something else, but real experience i ment like if that 4% crit procs do better or bleeds than 1 % perma crit

stuck knoll
#

It's completely unnoticeable

#

You're not gonna see the difference outside of sims

fallen bay
#

so let's say in dungeon in Overall dmg i wont see big diff i see

stuck knoll
#

Not at all

#

Utility > looks > dps is how to look at is a race worth

vestal wren
#

i think the majority decides on looks > rest

stuck knoll
#

I agree but I know a couple like Utility a lot as well

#

I play my race based on looks 🤷

strange python
#

Utility > all

#

Troll zerking, when I turn ally in Bod my 20sec open order is messed up when I lose it

strange python
#

the sweet rocketjump ❤

agile oar
#

hey guys

#

i need help on what i should be doin

strange python
#

go to bed

agile oar
#

but its morning

#

well my main question is

#

what is overall better 3 SS or DD

#

I only have one set gear and resetting traits is getting expensive

#

doing mythic prog and i want to know what is best in all situations

warm parcel
#

Well in the raid your job is boss dps

#

So DD is far superior

agile oar
#

ok can you also look at my mythic logs and see what i can improve on?

spice surge
#

My'das talisman is atrociously bad

#

Do a wq and get a better trinket

warm parcel
#

You pressed tb at 15 s

#

And the next time at 144s

#

It has a 25s cd

#

You also randomly forgot vendetta

#

You cast tb just before a mechanic caused you to be off target

#

You fok on 2 targets

spice surge
#

Fok is at 5 targets with 3 dd

#

Not 2

warm parcel
#

Your dot uptimes are really low

spice surge
#

Its 3 without any traits and 2 with echoing blade traits

agile oar
#

i'm plannin on changing ss to dd

warm parcel
#

Thats not your issue

#

You should go to a dummy and just practice getting used to assa for an hour or two

spice surge
#

^ Dot uptimes should be 98%+, preferably 99%+. Only having 85-90% means you lose out on A LOT of energy and damage

#

And on most fights you are missing anywhere between 25-40% of the tb casts available because you delay it so much

warm parcel
#

On jadefire I used as the example log 99% isnt really achievable. But Yours were 68% and 35% something

#

Those are just not acceptable

agile oar
#

so vandetta and tb on cool down even if its rotation from boss?

spice surge
#

What do you mean? You dont pop vendetta on a target you're not about to hit

#

Neither tb, that is one of the things you've been doing that is really bad

warm parcel
#

Yeah, there is no reason to delay unless a mechanic comes up

#

Which does happen a lot on jadefire

#

So getting used to the boss itself helps

agile oar
#

ok i see what you are sayin

#

this might sound dumb but i know you just said to not hold the abilities what if the raid lead says we are poppin hero in like 1 min

#

but vandetta is up

#

i know tb will be back up

warm parcel
#

Does the boss die before you can use it again?

agile oar
#

no

warm parcel
#

Cause 2 vendettas > One good vendetta

#

Then you hold

spice surge
#

Also, you're supposed to know beforehand when you're gonna pop BL

#

And plan ahead before the fight even starts. If the fight is 6 mins you're only gonna get 3 vendettas of regardless

#

So saving it so it lines up with hero at 3 min is good in that case

#

The key being planning ahead

agile oar
#

ok i see

#

thanks for the help guys

wooden fog
#

Is 1-2 SS good on mythic stormwall for the extra adds on p2 or just run MA for boss dmg? Any recommendations?

royal lantern
#

idk your team comp, but i gues you dont really need too hit the adds as melee and can just go full st boss dmg

peak quarry
#

Soo, I assume one shouldn't spam envenom as soon as they get the combo points for it right?

royal lantern
#

deepens on your energy

#

you should use envenom when all bleeds are up and not close too the pandemic timers, and then another envenom too hold the envenom buff up

peak quarry
#

hmm sounds good

zinc willow
#

Envenom benefits from pandemic right?

peak quarry
#

since I run out of the energy few envenoms after

#

also is Exangunaite viable pvp or pve ?

royal lantern
#

exception is when tb is up, then you should try too get asmany out as possible

#

exsang was always bad for pvp in bfa, and right now TB is simply better for pretty much everything in pve too

peak quarry
#

thought so

#

Would be fun if rogues spec had some variety in talents. But oh well, one thing is most of the time the best

#

also what's the Pandemic ?

royal lantern
#

check the pins, in in there

peak quarry
#

oh wow

#

so that's what it is

#

hmm, I should do some Assa play. Gotta get good dagger. I already have 415 galecaller in my inventory

royal lantern
#

and we actually have some variety, but mostly on utility tiers

peak quarry
#

yeah, utillity is most of the time customizable

#

Thanks

slow vessel
#

would wound poison reduce the healing effect of sanguine on mobs?

fleet whale
#

i don't see why it wouldn't but it wouldn't be worth the loss of dps imo

timber swan
#

Guys what's a good aoe and st opener with MA.

plush oasis
#

Interested in that as well. Noticed the ST opener guide in the pins just puts what looks like toxic blade, one mutilate and one envenom in the crit window which seems wrong.

timber swan
#

Exactly what I was thinking

bronze kelp
#

Why should it be wrong?

#

Tb does good dmg and amplifies your poison dmg. So why not?

plush oasis
#

I was thinking a second tb buffed envenom would be worth more.

bronze kelp
#

Yep

#

The opener is not a fixed prio

#

But u can get unlucky with crits and only get 2 cp from mutilate

#

That's the part where you have to think 😉

plush oasis
#

Thanks @gusty kestrel , that's kinda the one I was wanting to do.

#

Of course, I have terrible luck so I anticipate cussing over 2pt muts.

bronze kelp
#

You just have to adapt to the situation

plush oasis
#

Which wouldn't be the worst thing really.

#

I have three DDs now I think anyway.

outer ruin
#

Does anyone know what % slow Cripple goes to with MP? is it 70%? or 60%?

primal gazelle
#

60%

civic palm
#

updates on tooltip to 60%, least it should

heavy skiff
#

is OP good in M+? i mean idk if i can trust dungeon slice...

#

aoe sim tells me to go crit one and st says op

#

they are close on dungeon slice but idk lul

civic palm
#

Overwhelming Power is overvalue'd still IIRC as it has unnatural uptimes in the SIM, the normal procs are much more reliable.

lethal heart
#

dont worry about tier 3 traits

#

unless its azerite globules

#

pretty much anything works

civic palm
#

Yeah.

heavy skiff
#

then im gonna go crit one

#

just cuz i like the high crit lul

lethal heart
#

crit is good stat for m+ in general

#

its not bad choice

heavy skiff
#

ye i know

#

get up to 40% crit with mekka trinket

lethal heart
#

no idea how much crit people run as assa nowadays

heavy skiff
#

and idk how much i can get when bbi procs and this shit procs

lethal heart
#

havent been playing much assa myself

#

because i dont have that great azerite

#

so i cba

#

and i mostly pass offspec/m+ azerite from raid for other people

#

coz im playing outlaw anyway in dungeons

heavy skiff
#

i play assa cuz my 300ms fuck up my outlul

lethal heart
#

i mean assa is gcd locked in aoe aswell

#

kind of

#

unless its like 3 targetsd

#

but 4+ targets you're gcd locked aswell

heavy skiff
#

ye but its always the same spell

#

fok fok fok fok

#

so spellque solves the issue

lethal heart
#

i guess

heavy skiff
#

but as outlaw i have to actualy do a rotation

#

and then im at 4cp

#

wanna press a finisher

#

but spell que throws out another ss

lethal heart
#

couldnt you solve that issue a bit

#

with spell queing ingame thing?

#

i dont know how taht works exactly

#

but there is some sort of lag tolerance or sth

#

that you can adjust

#

with some macros

heavy skiff
#

iw i put it lower then i cant use a spell every global

#

and cant burn my energy in adrenaline

civic palm
#

Spell Queue would work for smoothing that out yeah.

heavy skiff
#

if i put it too high this happens

cinder delta
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
heavy skiff
#

so i just play assa lul

#

assa is still fine in M+ as loong as trash lives long

lethal heart
#

y assa is ok in m+

civic palm
#

and for ST as SIN people are getting to ~25% and crit drops below haste/mastery, in M+ you get as much Crit as you can.

heavy skiff
#

and in +18 /19 it does 4 our group so...

lethal heart
#

in m+ you go for crit because its a stat that is useful for both st and aoe

#

whereas haste is useless for aoe

civic palm
#

Yeah you want 5CP every FoK if possible.

lethal heart
#

yea

#

high crit brings consistency to your aoe

civic palm
#

There's a mathematical breakpoint under 50% crit but w/e.

#

It varies a little with average target count but just get as much as you can.

heavy skiff
#

i saw my crit jump to 72%

#

when everything procd

lethal heart
#

ye blightborne is a good trait

#

and then idk maybe spyglass

heavy skiff
#

i would prefere another eb tbh

lethal heart
#

and unstable flames

civic palm
#

Blight is waaaaaaaaaay too much crit > _>"

heavy skiff
#

but i dont have a 415 one

strange python
#

I run spell queue 0

heavy skiff
#

how much ping do u have?

strange python
#

like 20ms

heavy skiff
#

well 20 vsa 300

#

xD

civic palm
#

Spell queue 0 is a no-no IMO.

strange python
#

my spell queue should be like 150

#

I ran 0 for the meme and forgot to replace it

civic palm
#

heh

#

and yeah 50-100 + your average ping

#

Find something that feels right.

strange python
#

not like it's a big deal on sin in st

#

but I'm aoe or on outlaw yeah

#

though I actually miss more casts on sin due to 0 queue than I do outlaw

inland stump
#

sorry to interrupt, looked at the guide but still wonder, is EB on the same ring as DD and SS?

#

if so, how many EB should I get instead cuz atm Im mostly focused on m+ but should still have 2 different sets for m+ and raiding?

#

is one EB enough or more needed or does it depend on dungeon?

lone junco
#

1eb is nothing.

desert vault
#

is 27+ in King's Rest decent for overall DPS?

#

I don't run it often, so not really sure what I should be expecting

#

er, 27k

meager basalt
#

27k overall is good if 340 ilvl

#

lol jk brother thats good in my eyes

desert vault
#

Right, I know it is not bad. I beat the DH and Mage by a large margin. Neither of them managed to break 20k overall, which is really low even in KR I'd assume

meager basalt
#

yikesssssss

#

20k is bare minimum in m+

inland stump
#

also depends on ur ilvl and encounter

#

sometimes also u can have trash runs and sometimes you have good runs and also with good players helps u dps so so much, and the other way around when you have bad player in your team

#

but how many EBs should be picked in m+?

meager basalt
#

1-2

#

i use 1 and do great

desert vault
#

I almost never run less than 2

#

but I have a very friendly 415 gear with EB

#

hard to not use it with my gear choices

inland stump
#

cuz I have only the rupture agility buff(forgot to theme)

#

i dont ahve pieces with EBs either and overall lately been focusing on raiding build since I was recently in a raid trial

desert vault
#

I don't run SoB much at all, pretty much a constant mix of TtK, EB, and SS

inland stump
#

i will try to get a piece with EB

#

well its either that or a trash trait

#

so have to

desert vault
#

and almost always Blight if you have Gorak shoulders

inland stump
#

my chest piece is very very meh

#

i have those 😄

#

its so awesome

#

i get around 50% crit with it

#

plus the harlan trinket and weap enchant

#

got gorek tulle 415 shoulders on my first TR buy

#

but at the very least 1 EB then?

desert vault
#

I've yet to get them, shoulders

#

yeah for sure at least one EB

#

at least

inland stump
#

well I just wanted better shoulders and got BIS on first try xD

#

alright thanks 😃

#

cuz otherwise I have 2 DD, 1 SS 1 NP and the blight trait, rest are random good stuff

primal gazelle
#

Asia MDI Team D Assa rog running 3x EB 3x SS with HIDDEN BLADES

#

im so proud

#

the meme lives on

desert orchid
#

is there a way to see the specs and gear of the rogues in the end mdis?

cold saffron
inland stump
#

hey @cold saffron there is a pinned post answering just that and also you should do a stat weights at raidbots.com

#

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

quasi pewter
#

stats "looking ok" is irrelevant, do top gear sim and just take the best gear you have. @cold saffron

desert orchid
#

how is sin holding up to outlaw in m+?

inland stump
#

yea exactly @quasi pewter 😃

#

i personally go for mastery, crit, haste and it works good for me 😃 its different for player to player since you can do several different builds

cold saffron
#

alright cool, thanks all!

inland stump
#

assassin works very good for me in m+ but my aoe is not that good because I haven't got any EB traits yet and according to MDI, Outlaw seems to be a lot better since thats the only Rogue spec and even dps spec they use almost

#

but then again, they use specific strategies and playstyles

#

yw @cold saffron 😃

strange python
#

outlaw is easier to gear and has a higher top end in aoe

#

sin is competitive 100%

steep obsidian
#

sin is only ok if you can restealth

strange python
#

and you can be cutting edge in m+ with sin

steep obsidian
#

otherwise its pretty garbo

#

a lot of tanks want to be chain pulling and pull reapings onto trash and shit

#

and you only go ooc to reset pot timer at the top end

strange python
#

chain pulling with a sin rogue in your group straight up makes you a bad tank

#

in fact chain pulling at all is generally a bad sign outside of predetermined strats

#

pull big or pull small, but finish your pull

steep obsidian
#

i know

#

but of course

#

you cater strats round your comp

#

and the strats for top teams arent catered around reliable resetealths

#

did see one or 2 sin rogues for some reason in this weeks tourney

#

i think it was kings rest though so that prolly makes sense

#

do any of you guys use the "bequiet" mod which takes away the talking heads from world quests and dungeons and stuff?

#

I think its lagging me out

primal gazelle
#

there was a sin rogue used for shrine

bronze kelp
#

If you run 3ss than your tank can't chain pull. But if you only play 1ss, he can und you still end up competitive. @steep obsidian and @strange python

#

Also pull big and end your pull is not right. In ML for example u chain pull a lot. Finish of the dangerous mobs and continue. That's Important if you wanna time high keys

lost horizon
#

You need to get resets for pots anyways

#

Chaining can be good but it's not like you wanna spend the whole dungeon in combat

tropic ocean
#

@steep obsidian using mdi to see if something is viable or not for m+ is not the best data to base that on

#

99% of players won't see any pulls close to what happens there

tawdry rune
#

Hello fellow assassins!

unborn barn
#

Hello fellow

fallen bay
#

is bursting blood worth on trash fights or is it still more worthy to pop agility one ?

rose perch
#

Agility is better in all cases but especially on AoE - bursting blood's damage splits among all targets so it doesn't increase with extra targets, but Agi does!

strange python
#

would you run CT this week for dungeons?

#

subterfuge with ss is a given but fort makes me think CT

#

though, in a 10, I hardly believe it matters.

#

i'm gonna do it

#

TB CT meta

shy axle
#

how are you engaging reaping as Assa with 3x Eb/3xSS? Read something about just spamming fok, or still getting rup/env out and doing normal fok spamm for the cp`s?

tropic ocean
#

@strange python not worth in a 10

strange python
#

yeah i can tell LOL

#

19k dps on trash pull be like

tropic ocean
#

@shy axle depends on pull if dropping combat 3x ss spam fok put some ruptures if not dropping combat put some ruptures spam fok

shy axle
#

not using cps then or how do you mean it?

strange python
#

if you aren't in combat when reap starts

tropic ocean
#

Yes using cp for 3-4 rupture

strange python
#

put out 3 SSes

#

and use CP for rupture

#

after that spam FoK

tropic ocean
#

Then envenom high hp mob

strange python
#

^

shy axle
#

ok thanks guys

strange python
#

3-4 ruptures should be fine

tropic ocean
#
  • spam fok
strange python
#

I need to make a focus macro

#

for like focus garrote, rup, envenom

#

lol

umbral fiber
#

can also snipe lowhp mobs with rupture for extra energy regen if needed

strange python
#

tru fax

#

mouseover rupture be like

rigid mango
#

What haste values are you guys at for your raid setups?

umbral fiber
#

22

rigid mango
#

I feel as if though my haste is too low and I'm getting cucked

#

hm

umbral fiber
rigid mango
#

Mine's at just under 16 but other shit is simming higher 🤔

strange python
rigid mango
#

hmm ur crit is way lower than mine hm

strange python
#

your haste changes like

#

nothing.

#

removal of 76 haste is like

#

.2 energy regen

rigid mango
#

yy but still

#

I feel like I'm HARD struggeling to get 3x TB'd env

strange python
#

..do u have deadly poison up? 🤔

rigid mango
#

Yah

#

Like

strange python
#

I made that mistake LOL

rigid mango
#

I can fit 2, but nearly never 3

strange python
#

pool beforehand really

solid nova
#

Thats why its 2+, not 3+

rigid mango
#

yeah man, killed first 2 bosses w out deadly poison on

#

🤔

strange python
#

if you're in AoE have ruptures out before your TB

#

3 is rare

solid nova
#

Because the 3rd isnt always possible

strange python
#

I normally get 2

rigid mango
#

Ah ok

#

Like

#

I feel like my dps

#

is so low

umbral fiber
#

3rd one is almost RNG based

strange python
#

with a lot of bleeds or exceptional pooling I can get 3

rigid mango
#

and I've got no clue why

umbral fiber
#

cause of DD crits

strange python
#

but it matters when your bleeds tick as well

rigid mango
#

hm yeah

strange python
#

so it's not as much RNG on that as it is just rainman math

rigid mango
#

I'm still sorta geared into m+ shit so my haste isn't as high as I want it to be

#

@solid nova would you mind checking a log of mine?

strange python
#

if u post it someone will check it

rigid mango
#

this is like my first week back to raiding after like a 2 month hiatus

solid nova
#

Ye can do.

strange python
#

u drop garrote more times than the boss switches

rigid mango
#

mind you I just got my spymaster's after raid so I've now got a bit better az

solid nova
#

Wheres the garrote on the opener?

rigid mango
#

Did i seriously miss that?

#

yikers

#

Yeah I know it's supposed to be there

strange python
#

ma tb so

#

garr mut rup vendetta vanish tb (mut 4+) env (mut 4+) env

#

iirc

rigid mango
#

idk I know I played that entire raid horrendously since I've solely played outlaw m+ for the last like 2-3 weeks ish

#

yeah

strange python
#

haha yeah idk

rigid mango
#

I know the opener, I must've just fucked it up

strange python
#

garrote is

#

reaaaally big to miss

rigid mango
#

aye

#

Agreed

strange python
#

you start with mut then rupture

#

mut rup vanish vendetta tb mut env mut env

#

is your opener

#

add a garrote to the intro, swap vanish and vendetta

#

and ur fine

rigid mango
#

yeah ik

#

I'm still relativly new to all these fights

solid nova
#

Your tb windows are fine, idk where you got the info on 3+

strange python
#

3 is exceedingly rare

rigid mango
#

aight fair enough

strange python
#

you're probably not going to get 3 by planning for it

rigid mango
#

I jsut felt like I never really properly got the power off of tb from it

#

seeing as how I feel my dps is severely lacking

strange python
#

if TB were 1s longer 3s would be more common fwiw, but it's not 1s longer, so don't feel bad

umbral fiber
#

Be happy with 2, consider yourself lucky with 3

#

x)

solid nova
#

You didnt 2nd pot either

rigid mango
#

That's just because RL said "we didn't need to"

#

during those bosses

strange python
#

do it anyway

rigid mango
#

and also I'm a cheap ass

#

so

strange python
#

your pots, your money

solid nova
#

I mean if youre wanting to parse

#

It counts lol

rigid mango
#

I mean yeah

strange python
#

i don't prepot or 2nd pot bc i can't afford them

#

so it's whatever

rigid mango
#

idm parses

ruby oxide
#

You should be double potting LFR to flex on normies. It's a good habit to have

solid nova
#

Idk i think if youre raiding you should be making the effort to afford them

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

i can

#

and I do

umbral fiber
#

Make sure to also post dps meter after LFR encounter

solid nova
#

Especially if its mythic

rigid mango
#

but if RL says i don't need to, I wont

#

ik it's a dickish attitude or whatnot

solid nova
#

Well looking at the log only a select few people are listening to that

#

Even your tank 2nd potted 😄

rigid mango
#

Well for them it's mostly parsing time

#

I'm still learning fight

#

s

solid nova
#

Thats fair, i think its a good habit to get into regardless

rigid mango
#

yeah defo

#

ig it's just using it at 2nd vend?

strange python
#

yeah if you're not poor

rigid mango
#

I'm not poor, just, cheap

strange python
#

i'm both ¯_(ツ)_/¯

rigid mango
#

But are there any like, proper rotational faults?

strange python
#

yes

#

your opener

rigid mango
#

well yeah

#

but apart from that

strange python
#

also

#

you held TB for a very long time

#

near the end of the fiht

#

1 minute 1 second

rigid mango
#

I held it for that long?

strange python
#

that's over 2 casts

#

tb sin relies on those burst windows

rigid mango
#

yeah I get that

#

Should I be focusing more on utilising EP/Env uptimes?

umbral fiber
#

just start pooling energy 5secs before it comes off CD

rigid mango
#

Yeah I know how pooling works etc

#

I'm just insanely rusty and feel like I can defo improve atm

solid nova
#

Yeah you did hold it for 1minute

#

Not sure why

pastel crow
#

How is assasination doing in m+?

solid nova
#

248-311

#

And its doing great

rigid mango
#

hm

pastel crow
#

Good at raid aswell?

solid nova
#

Yup

rigid mango
#

It's good at raiding good at m+

pastel crow
#

What trait for m+?

rigid mango
#

SS/EB/TTK

#

But stats wise

#

is 16%~ haste a bit low for raiding?

solid nova
#

Not at all

rigid mango
#

hm

#

I might just be used to outlaw in that case

#

because it feels as if though I've fucked something up

solid nova
#

Feel though

royal lantern
#

sin is slow

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

well

#

I look at my parses

#

and I feel^

solid nova
#

Yeah but the overall raid performance isnt great

#

Thats a factor

rigid mango
#

Wdym mine or the raid team in general?

solid nova
#

Team in general

rigid mango
#

ah yeah conc was a shitshow

strange python
#

your ele sham pumps tho

#

xeera

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

He's insane

#

He's a living parse machine

#

and a good raider at that

solid nova
#

When people get more comfortable itll show as well

rigid mango
#

I just need to beat that other rogue

strange python
#

you did beat that other rogue

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

well she died

#

so

strange python
#

by like 3k dps

rigid mango
#

Aye but she's beating me on other fights

solid nova
#

If he didnt die in that log, I dont want to look into it 😂

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

I died

strange python
#

their best conc is 18.3k

#

you did 18.4k

How looking ma opener mut rap mut gar vendetta tb mut(4-5) vanish env mut (if 4 env if <4 mut) env

strange python

wrong*

#

garr mut rup vendetta vanish tb mut4 env mut4 env

rigid mango
#

but last seconds

strange python
#

you can experiment with moving specific things in other places

#

like TB before vanish

#

but

#

that's going to feel terrible if you don't crit

rigid mango
#

how much do you guys focus on EP/Env uptime?

strange python
#

don't

#

if you have the energy to spare, keep it rolling

#

otherwise focus more on bleeds and TB windows

#

don't starve yourself trying to get EP/env uptime

rigid mango
#

kk

strange python
#

plume 🤢

rigid mango
#

wdym

strange python
#

hate on-use trinkets

rigid mango
#

everyone does

#

but atleast it's just like

#

another button to press whilst ur doing vend rotation etc

#

and nothing more

#

I'm just amazed to see ML trink out simming dice, might be because it's 20 ilvls higher up

#

🤷

golden relic
#

how can u hate plume

#

just macro it to vendetta

brisk forge
#

So true XD

#

Gale is another story tho

cloud iris
#

39% crit unbuffed with 406 ilvl hmmmm

ruby oxide
#

That's a fuck ton for assassination. Haste or mastery is suffering somewhere. I remember having mastery overtake crit for stat priority at around 25% crit for me. to be 39% you must have crit on about every piece of gear.

cloud iris
#

hell yea dude

#

only doing m+ tho

#

3x twist and 2x echoing blades + 39% crit and spyglass+harlans g motherfckin g

ruby oxide
#

Oh, that's a totally different story, I was focused on single target, not thinking about M+

#

39% is still nutty

35% crit 40% mast befuu

for raid if im not running shrouded whats the opener look like ?

tropic ocean
#

garrote mutilate rupture vendetta vanish toxic blade mutilate to 4+ envenom

bleak spoke
#

I still think even if you’re doing Tb in vendetta that’s inaccurate

#

If you have double dose

#

Like why not g m r v m vanish Tb env m

#

You’re e neutral except you’ve given yourself a higher dd proc chance in this scenario

Got the +15 dungeon achievement, switched back to sin, FeelsGoodMan

#

Shrine was complete AIDS to get this week

rigid mango
#

It's always bad.

arctic harness
#

That dungeon can never go smooth

#

Something always goes wrong

rigid mango
#

I mean all you need to do is skip all mini bosses/do death runs

#

then it's easy.

#

"easy"

#

Easier

arctic harness
#

Yeah but then someone ninja pulls, especially with sanguine and little space

rigid mango
#

And that's explaining most dungeons with sanguine

#

welcome to sanguine

arctic harness
#

True, but Shrine has so many skips

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

It shouldn't have too many that fuck you over

#

pull wise

arctic harness
#

Yeah, that dungeon compared to FH or TD is such a world of difference in terms of balancing

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

#

SoTS and Siege

#

Siege on tyr

#

same for ToS on tyr, atleast old ToS pre-8.1.5 nerfs

arctic harness
#

Siege with bolstering bepickedlast

rigid mango
#

Is insane compared to shit like AD/TD/FH

#

Meh

#

siege with bolstering is aids, but every other week

#

the last boss is a like 6-7+ min fight

#

Where on higher keys if you don't have a 2nd dispell your healer is fucked.

arctic harness
#

Yeah, and then add a guardian druid on top as a tank

#

And imagine the struggles i had

rigid mango
#

Imagine running with a guardian druid

#

You could still leave.

#

I would, If I saw a guardian druid for a push key I was doing

strange python
#

zandalari troll with paku buff or belf for assa?

vestal wren
#

!sims both sites have race sims, else you can just sim it on raidbots

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

ive seen the sims but i was wondering if people prefer ztroll over belf just because of the buff versatility

royal lantern
#

most people play the races they think looks better cus race differences are pretty much only in sims anyway

#

atleast the %stat / dps difference

tropic ocean
#

belf racial is mvp

stuck knoll

prisma monolithBOT
civic forge
#

is it ok to toxic blade even on 5 cp if it comes off cooldown at that time?

#

or do you finish first -> toxic blade

spice surge
#

Think of it this way

#

1 CP is essentially 20% of an envenom

#

TB buffs envenom by 30%

#

30%>20%, therefore you tb and waste cp then envenom.

civic forge
#

is it that easy though? i mean tb could crit and i'm wasting 2 at that point

#

i guess the avg dmg is still lower than 30%

#

ill just use on cd

hasty brook
#

Is assassin still worth it now in endgame? Keep seeing top rogues as outlaw

royal lantern
#

sin is the better spec for raids

hasty brook
#

But outlaw playstyle is too RNG for my taste

royal lantern
#

actually look at the logs pal

#

the top log outlaws use aoe talents too pad dps

hasty brook
#

Ah

royal lantern
#

not doing actuall boss dmg

#

for raids sin>outlaw, for m+ right now outlaw>sin, both works for both content 100%fine

hasty brook
#

That's a relief. I figured for aoe they were the bees knees because of all their talents being about it.

stuck knoll
#

At this stage all top logs are all about abusing the fight which outlaw is better at than sin but sin is the better raid spec

visual quartz
#

cant think about TB crit being a waste as the same way that you Mut at 3cp but if it crit youd lose 1-2cps

robust light
#

can i cloak or evasion or something to cheese the in the air phase on jadefire mythic?

civic forge
#

yeah it's called doing the mechanic correctly

ember remnant
#

why would you want to cheese it? you get 25% dmg bonus

civic forge
#

cause you want the 25% dmg buff it gives

hasty brook
#

Was about to say, ain't that avoidable?

robust light
#

didnt know it did that :p

ember remnant
#

and you should be using cloak on traps

robust light
#

yeah ofc i cn just dop it, i just figured if i can cheese it why not, but didnt know about the buff

rigid mango
#

Is it worth saving vend+vanish an extra min on stormwall for it to align with hero?

stuck knoll
#

Are you gonna miss a vend vanish if you do

#

If no then yes wait

#

If yes then no

rigid mango
#

hm

#

Killed it at 6.20 last time

#

So probably not?

stuck knoll
#

If you killed in 6.20 you are gonna get 3 full vends in if you pop them as they come up

#

So in that case waiting would make you miss one

rigid mango
#

Aye

stuck knoll
#

And that's not worth

bleak spoke
#

You mean 4 right :^)

#

Also 6:20 is a really pretty kill time for our cds

stuck knoll
#

Yeah 4 sorry

rigid mango
#

It's perfect

#

for king rasta mythic can you cloak the soak ability

#

#

Hey guys. I am trying out master assasin talent for the first time, and am wondering about the rotation. I get dots up, then vendetta-->vanish-->toxic blade?

rigid mango
#

Would it be better to use 2nd pot during MA etc or during hero w out any MA?

civic palm
#

During BL/Hero is usually a good choice.

rigid mango
#

Yeah but is it worth more than using it during MA burst window?

civic palm
#

Yeah.

royal lantern
#

if heroism is like 10sec away you should hold cd's anyway

rigid mango
#

Nah it's an entire minute away

#

It's bang in the middle betwee both 2nd and 3rd vend

obtuse cedar
#

Hey, I sometimes read that gcb on Jaina wasn't that good bcs she often changes spell order. Shall I use plumage even if it is 10 item level lower ? I can't really tell

#

It's a no brainer but gcb feels rather nice with tb

royal lantern
#

the dps difference bettwen plumage and gcb is not that big

#

but its really easy too fuck up gcb, while plumage is almost impossible too fuck up, you just use it togheter with vendetta

#

i would take plumage, for gcb too be better you need too use it on cd and stand in for 100%of the time for the entire fight

obtuse cedar

Alright, thank you very much !

Rogue can somehow soak coin shower on mythic difficulty? #opulence

No

No

#

You cant solo coin shower as a rogue without bop

Cheat death only saves up to 2x your max hp

I'd swap your initial az set up if I were you

#

If you're playing the heavy EB/SS you might aswell go Outlaw

#

@signal stream Nelf has a substantial increase in damage if you run an SS focused build

not really interested in swapping specs, just curious about blood rite 😛

arctic harness

Generally you use PB and rely on EB damage for aoe. Use 2SS, 2EB and 2 TTK. I use 1 TTK and 1 BBI

leaden garden
#

Master asasin for st and subterfuge for aoe, is that the general idea?

distant lava
#

not really, pretty sure it depends on your traits

lone junco
#

subterfuge goes with SS trait.

#

which does 1,2,3 t well

leaden garden

If no ss traits, i go MA even for m+?

it's not about parses, it's about the sense of advancement (which is kind of a basic element in RPG-like games), or rather the lack of it

royal lantern

if you want good logs, ofc its a pad party

lament dove
#

finally something drops and then it's not even an upgrade sometimes because of lack of socket

wich is 1 of the reason why i dont REALLY care about parses, they are too luck based on most fights imo

soon 27k, soon.....

#

just gimme 2 sockets and im fine :c

rank one parses might be luck based but general parse% is pretty accurate in most cases

ah ye

Like not using kick on fiery enchant instead using it elsewhere and using blind or gouge on it, and it stopping the cast as you’ve kicked it

that makes sense

anyway, go to bed

makes sense then y

marble hemlock
#

theres a lot of stuff that people dont know. think most of the people are still surprised whenever i explain how i multidot without autoattack due to angling my character correctly 😄

lethal heart
#

knowing what abilities you must kick because mob spam recasts versus what abilities you can BTE/gouge/whatever other random disrupt is valuable

marble hemlock
#

ye

lethal heart
#

and even then

#

sometimes you can disrupt the recastable shit for long enough

#

till he prios other spell

#

its kind of

#

fucked up

marble hemlock

kinda lika jaina in that sense

lethal heart
#

like spiritualists in shrine

marble hemlock
#

where the nova doesnt get cast at all

lethal heart
#

they do heal

#

you can disrupt it like

#

5 times

#

and then they prio anchor

#

to then cast heal again

bleak spoke
#

happens with wicked frenzy too, when you hit it three times with blind/gouge/stuns it'll try to cast raise dead again

#

big weird

cuz it feels random but also consistent

its not random

i'm kinda okay with them not explaining literally everything though

just kinda annoying when stupid stuff happens that probably wasn't intended but is really punishing

look at stuff like earthquake

marble hemlock
#

how many op/uf with that setup?

bleak spoke
#

Uh I know that the opu helm has elemental whirl as the best

#

I think the shoulders from underrot have unstable flames?

#

And I think grong vest does as well

#

But yeah the generic stats rings are vaguely depleted iirc

#

What would you even play with this setup is the question though

#

Like some exsang ct kinda deal?

marble hemlock
#

definitely CT

#

since its the best way for you to scale your aoe

#

through the extra agi from multidotting

#

CT scales very well

#

which entirely defeats the purpose of a prio build

bleak spoke
#

Yeah pbomb seems kinda depleted without toxic blade

marble hemlock
#

well, PB also scales entirely through agi, so its still an option

bleak spoke
#

But then you kinda run out of buttons to press innit

marble hemlock
#

the prio build would probably be tb+pb regardless

#

set up 6-7 ruptures for stats

#

then pop TB, blast envenoms for prio

#

and start dotting up again

#

That’s soooo many globals

#

That’s like 15 globals if you get lucky

#

well, prio doesnt have to come instantly unless its about bursting one mob quickly

#

if its just to even out mob health

#

it doesnt really matter when the prio burst comes in

#

if its 5sec into the pull or 15sec, if the mob lives 25sec regardless

bleak spoke
#

It really feels like this build occupies the space between giga aoe assa and idk like affliction warlock or something

#

Where you take 15-20 seconds of setup to blast on one mob exactly

#

It just seems really depleted

#

Cuz strength of sub prio is that it’s fast right

#

Shadowstrike out of stealth, put a nightblade on, storm, and then your next global is 120k

#

same for ttk. 3g+1r setup, so 4gcds, and then its just fok, vendetta, tb and blast

#

after the TB you still have enough time to multi-rupture to not starve

bleak spoke
#

And while ttk prio is slower is 4 globals fok got points vendetta Tb and then you sink 110k env

#

Yeah

#

I mean, nobody is arguing that assa has better prio than sub

bleak spoke
#

With vendetta sometimes it’s overly generous on energy innit

spice surge
#

Its just that assa does actual aoe damage while doing decent prio

bleak spoke
#

No we’re talking about how it seems like this scent of blood setup might have good prio

#

As in good damage to the focus target, but I’m saying there’s no way it’s fast enough

#

By the time you start envenoms the outlaw rogues done an entire full flurry

#

BBl could also potentially outdo ttk

bleak spoke
#

I believe it

#

That trait is so overtuned

mint peak
#

I don't think it's overtuned at all

bleak spoke
#

And also it has the knock on effect of adding certainty to this prio when it procs

#

Like cuz the setup is Tb and hopefully 4 envenoms right

#

With nice crit (somewhere between like 40-50% with procs, trinkets etc) in a medium sized pack

#

It’s like you’re not likely to get it every time right

#

Or even that often

#

But 415 bbi is 1.4k crit

#

That’s like a hilarious amount of crit

lament dove
#

almost 20%

spice surge
#

But its not ontop of herodamage so it cant be overtuned
