if you want to go for overall
you stack more ebs and go full aoe spam
It's more down to how your tank pulls
but sin brings valuable dmg to the table, not just pad dmg
you're dealing damage to what needs to take the dmg, not just "arbitrary" damage that will be dealt sooner or later
The issue is also that you can't chain pull
sin NEEDS restealths
Isn't sin better for bolster than outlaw?
Cause you can control more aoe and not bolster mobs, not like blade furry
So if your tank is inexperienced with sins etc
you might get fucked over, because contrary to outlaw, you need restealths
Yeah
Sin can pick and choose what target dies when
much better than outlaw
So if tank is chain pulling you better play outlaw right?
at least don't rely on SS doing much heh
But chain pulling IMHO doesn't help with timer cause it's better to prepot every pack no?
Well
It's not only chainpulling
but reaping spawning mid packs
no restealth
you lose dmg
You can't just wait for the pack to run to you and press bf
you have to sacrifice 3x SS'd garrotes
it's annoying when the tank waits the mob is like 10% then chain pulls... like why didn't you chain pull earlier or not chain pull at all
which is where a bunch of your dmg comes from
yah
like I said, inexperienced tanks will cuck you
Then i guess i will wait t see how badly Outlaw will be nerfed and switch then
But outlaw begins to bore me
have they said what is being nerfed?
yeah?
i only saw that it will be nerfed, but not how
could you link if you have pls
so it's not 1 button press, 10 things flurry you get 10 stacks
well
20 stacks, iirc
but now each instance gives 5%
isntead
of 2
ty
Ty
So yeah
raid outlaw is probs gonna be better, esp cleave
but mass pull outlaw is worse, defo
Opens up for sin that'll probs be the best spec fo m+
Then it doesnt matte rmuch cause reaping is gone anyway
but outlaw will probs be a really good raid spec
Well, it still does
nearly every pack is 3+ targets
so outlaw loses dmg on nearly every pack
meanwhile sin's not losing anything
Its back to everyone being Sin
Is difficult of sin similar to feral?
uh
no
Sin is pretty easy imo
dot things, fok... kill priority target
Sin is easy to pick up, mostly
I think I got problems with pooling energy, how can I learn that?
dot more things
you don't NEED to learn too badly
pooling for TB is a basic hting
that's not hard
but it's when you get into trying to minmax EP uptime, envenom usage
tc
I got problems on ST most with pooling energy, aoe seems easy
aoe I think comes down to efficient GCD use
you have enough energy at 4 bleeds
to spam fok for example
you pretty much have perma energy
ST comes down to keeping dots up, and cooldown use, pool for TB if using TB, good dots up for the bleed thing that escapes my mind atm
sin st is so low apm dunno how can mess up
Well it's down to decision making
Pressing right globals at the right time, maxing out the value of each one
Whilst also not dropping bleeds etc
@rigid mango what is ttk and bbi? blightborne infusion ? and the other one plz?
do we know when 8.2 is landing aprox?
3 months
Did they nerf outlaw yet?
8.2 is the "go back to sin everyone" patch
so not yet
prolly a few DHs that went outlaw will go back to DH as well
they announced the nerf, did not do it yet tho
should i envenom at 5 combo? or is 4 enough?
4+
@remote kraken ttk is twist the knife, and bbi is indeed bligbhtborne
thanks mate
All finishers are 4+ afaik @thick galleon
thanks
@solid nova Could there be a sort of ez pez m+ guide made for all the people swapping to sin with the outlaw changes?
Like super basic
I think the Outlaw adjustment is overstated as a bad change.
Yeah ofc
Thought a lot of outlaws were sin
doesn't mean a heard isn't coming sin's way
you'll have to answer questions
Spec fluctuation is pretty normal based on nerfs/buffs
and hit em with the 
Uldir this was the only active channel lol
m+ guide is actually something thats been wanted for ages tbh
I mean once theres a valid one theres no reason it cant be added to the pins
most of the questions here are about basic m+ traits
Yeah
I get that
Just need some1 to make one
Seli or someone
Yeah
one can hope so
but most of the questions'll come now, and when 8.2 drop
ig
Our DH wants to reroll outlaw rogue because I always out do him. Told him he better get familiar with sin to because 8.2 lol
i mean
outlaw'll be fine
It's a shift of power
Just that sin might inch ahead for m+
?
That he wants to switch.
I mean
Everyone’s using outlaw so I do to
what levle do you guys do
Not high. Slowly workin above 15s
Yeah then you shouldn't care at all about mdi
rogue dh elly is still one of the best push groups
Oh yeah I know. I still play sin for certain affix and dungeons
Yeah but lke
They're blasting through
18's
That are quite easy keys, these aren't push keys
It'd be diff if it was push keys
this is just aoe blast keys
proper play matters more than playing mdi comps
^
We don’t have an ele. Have a BM or WW. Which is fine I guess
ww is still nutty
1 caster is normally ok/neat to have in a lot of situations
esp with the hero n st dmg that elly brings to that team
idk, people shouldn't care about mdi meta
Most of our guild/casters just want to get their 10 done and afk the rest of the week since we got AOTC
it's not indicative of the actual key meta, atleast not as much as people think
Ye fair enough
I’ve been rogue awhile. I think he just wants to switch from DH because well idk
I don't do keys with any guildy, none of them push
Maybe he finally figured out DH is boring
I think my group will get there. Just have slot of alts that everyone likes to run with to so our mains group doesn’t get much chance to push
Ive started to every now n then. Slightly below 1400 io so much higher is hard to get into
Do own keys or just abuse the fact that you're a rogue
it sucks to try to catch up when people are super elitist about score, class, spec etc esp with mdi being here
Yeah I agree. Im sticking around the 14-16 range atm. Fishing for weaps above 400 but my rng is crap.
Would be nice if higher keys have higher chance at W/F. T/F
Gear matters so little though
Get decent gear and like 408-410 range
and you can push quite high, down to play more than gear
I’m at 411 overall range tho. My azerite is pretty good for both sin and OL
Ilvl doesn't matter that much, I timed 18 with 397 group and timed a 17 with my 390 + another dps low gear aswell, keys are about how you pull and how you deal with the fights
Yea 4 guys 397 and one 404, was tol dagor tho
Tol Dogor OMEGALUL
I think any fort week
anyone can do TD key 2 levles above what they're used to
like
taht key is so stupidly easy
There's nothing that makes it hard on fort
Lol I do cannons for my group but they like to try and damage the adds I’m shooting so I always kill them
Well
man sure am glad i've had nothing but shrines this week PepeHands
then they're dumb
It was actually a tyr week
Yeah lol
I had a 20kr
Makes me giggle
last week
now
19 KR

19kr tyr 1st and 3rd boss with bolstering mini boss room?
Nah
19 KR tyr. Kill me now
eh mini boss room not too bad, just dont mongo the small adds
Not only tyr, tyr is doable with the right group
well
Everything becomes aids
w fucking bolst
Yeah
Iron wire 
Idk yeah
honestly no clue what's worst
shite dungeon regardless
The cutscene after 3rd boss heading to Zul always gets me killed
stand in the corner next to the door to proc it before you go through
also you should be skipping that 5 pack
Yah
We usually shroud past to boss. Then I pull and group runs by then I vanish
Tho the past couple of runs they been stomping me
i dunno, just make sure your whole group starts the cutscene before shroud (they wont pull from the corner) then make sure you distract in the middle of the pack so you hit all 5 mobs
With echoing blades and 4 bleeds up already and no priority target do we just spam fan or still use envenom?
Depends on ur traits
If you're 3x EB and no TTK's, yes
Depends, what are your other traits @shy dust ?
2 SS 1 TC
ah then ye no
If you're gonna go into fulll aoe pad blast
then yes, you spam EB until shit dies
With a more cleave/multi target prio dmg spec like you're currently running (and I would recommend)
You just use FoK at 2 targets
Oh okay ty!
to get ttk traits in your build you'd rather drop SS traits than EB right ?
I can drop one SS for TTK
i have triple SS triple EB
Would that be worth it?
hm
not really playin sin atm but trying to say updated ^^
if you want a tad bit more prio dmg, yes, but I'd stick with the 2 ss
I wouldn't play that spec
dj
but yeah, drop an eb
tbh i really like triple SS triple EB, i love exsang sin
I'd run it, heh
Playign a worse outlaw? 
It'll probs be decent post 8.2, depends on what the seasonal affix is ofc
I'd run it for memes or if my entire group is ST based
yeah my problem is i don't really apreciate TB sin i find it so slow
If you play outlaw, yeah
that's why i'm kinda
on outlaw nerfs
you'll feel like that
hey can any1 help me with choosing my traits for m+ as assa.
echoing blade or double dose?
twist the knife or double dose?
Nver
nothing personal or scent of blood?
double dose
You mainly use fan of knives
to gain CP
so you never truly get the value of DD
so for your traits I'd use eb ttk and sob
for the ones you just asked
Probably secrets?
Idk
Weird trait that I honestly don't know how good it is
Yeah
secrets
dagger in the back or ttk?
ttk
would be my 2nd ttk
tysm for your help
np, gl 😃
wait, whats the reason you wrote 1 trait per line
I roll 3Xeb, 2xSS 1 scent for fortified weeks. want to loose the scent but havnt found anything yet 😦

is it worth in m+ just to take 1 EB ? or just sim yoself
how do u use hidden blades on single target? wait for the 20 stacks?
i know but i wasnt sure at all
It's worth to take 1 or 2
before becoming pad spec
ofc depends on what ur other traits are etc
yy ofc
is there any trick to not getting touched by wave of light on champions. namey in pugs when you can't always expect it to be tanked in a way to avoid the adds
directing the beam over several
ithink if you stand in the boss's hitbox it doesn't hit you
Yeah it spawns in front of him, so there's a bunch of safe space.
so treat it similar to the 2nd to last boss in boralus. where you stand in the hitbox and just auto dodges it
while also doding blinding
what is the minimum CP you want to use envenom and rupture at?
ok thanks
Is NP useful for M+ or is it a raid only thing ?
It's better than DD in M+ at least > _>
Hey, kinda random question; I noticed Gamerdads brought a Sin rogue over an outlaw for a fortified key, and the sin seemed to pull better numbers than the outlaw. Why bring sin in MDI? Can I switch to sin as a casual and expect to pull as good dps as my outlaw spec?
they are top of rogue players in the world
although i have no clue why they brought assa instead of outlaw
maybe personal preference by morning
who knows
slow for necrotic stacks might be a reason
still morning pulled some serious numbers on his assa
props
Was he running exsang?
Morning loves assa
On Fort that actually sounds fun
I need an eb ss helm for some pad magic
But would sin be as effective on lower keys (10ish) where the mobs die too quick for dots to ramp?
not really
but on 10ish keys it doesnt matter really
play whatever gives you more fun
Poison would be better maybe
Get it, thanks
Honestly while 3tk might be more effective in a well controlled group I think 3 eb 2 ttk 1 ss might actually give you the highest chance of just bulling your way through a key with overall
u wont even notice the difference when u get 3 and switch to exhang
yeah and drop like a rock, its like 0.5% ahead
That’s a lot of haste
I mean I think if you're gonna go pad
And wanna just go for overall dmg 2ss 1 bbi 3 eb
is gonna be the highest you can get
Even though I just realised that's literally impossible, anyways 3 ss 3 eb
"we want item level to matter more than secondaries"
Well for azerite anyway > _>"
waow that worked
I mean it felt pretty obv, but still
If it's an issue ping someone :3
@fringe socket post like that again and I'll ban you
Someone != Me, just... for reference...
What?
Ttk build is a very common build advertised from this discord, but if you look at top100 logs of each dungeon. It’s mainly dominated by ss/eb traits with very minor group running 2 or more traits of ttk
2xEB, 2xTtK, 1xBBI, 1xSS, 3xOP felt kinda lackluster. I'm assuming 3xEB, 3xSS feels a lot better with Exsang?
is there any info for the lurker's insidious gift trinket yet?
like how good is it for us
does ass benefit more from dh chaos brand debuff or monk touch? tyty
I want to say chaos brand
but I think it might actually depend on the build you're playing
In M+ im pretty sure its the monk one, more than 50% of my damage is physical there
Just check your logs / damage meter and check % physical vs % magic for your build*
definitely monk touch
autoattacks/bleeds are a decent bit of your damage
i'd rather buff all of those than buff just env and dp
buffthat
wait till we have final numbers on the trinket before looking for figures on it
Assuming the numbers stay the same it's very strong. The question isn't "will it be the best trinket", but moreso "by how much is it the best trinket"
What traits everyone is running for Tyrannical?
Do you guys run TB or Exsanguinate?
5 months ago I started playing, I had played for a month in pandaria and I decided to play again last year. I use weakauras to help me in pandemic effect, but my dps does not match with my ilvl. I need to change anything like my azerita head or my status?

I had a couple of trinkets to replace too
Gallecalle's boon 400
first thing you can do better is opener
you are using subterfuge and ss trait
try to garrote 2 adds + boss on champion of the light
and dont refresh it untill it runs out
Sprint on pull???
I will try this, thank you ❤
my pally tank runs out with horse i don know why
dont*
sprint on pull is fine
some guilds do not stack first adds
so before they split u can double garrote 2 adds
u had garrote uptime of 80% on grong hc
Shadowstep is infinetly better then sprint but thats not even needed ur a rogue u can stand right next to the boss lol
for your ilvl ur dmg to first boss is good
also try to use double dose trait if u have more
your log is grey because you didn't boost it by add cleave
my dmg in second boss is the worst
i see you are using only 1
so you shouldn't care too much about that
I'm trying to buy another 415 head pice, but wow send me the same piece again
The reason his parse is grey is because he used a regular garrote right after his vanished garrotes
unlucky
Nullifying all of SS and subterfuge
2 whole GCDs were wasted just sprinting to boss
2.5 seconds before he even hit boss
@spice surge if you're talking about mythic champions
its hard to get a good parse unless good geared and shortkill time
or heavy add cleave
his boss dmg was good, not bestor worst in his group
Why not? Thats the relevant part?
if he wants to improve (which obviously is the case why he's typing here) he should pay attention to his log
You can definitely get 99% without ever touching the adds
not sure with 408 ilvl and 2.50 killtime
@tender creek If you use garrote when you have an empowered garrote (ie one cast from vanish or stealth) you will overwrite it
parses at this point of raid depends on how fast you kill the boss
I want to improve, ppl on my guild say you are doing fine girl, but i'm not doing fine when ppl with 400 ilvl do more impact than me :/
faster kill = better parse
So instead of having your garrote buffed by 2 SS traits and subterfuge
Its just a regular one
Which is like 200-300k lost damage
@tender creek just remember to not overwrite ur empowered garrote with regular one
its better to let it run out
and then refresh
@median pawn i will try this
And most of your traits are awful
i let it run out or refresh when it has only 6 secs left ?
@tender creek I would also suggest to change dagger in the back with TTK -- Irontide's has TTK in the second ring yes ?
let it run out
@spice surge idk u can get "99 log without touching adds"
since I have 95 log with 30k dps
so wouldnt care too much about % log
thats 1:50 killtime btw, so heavily depends on your roster as well
Fyi faster kill doesnt always mean better parse and can actually mean a worse parse
@wanton glade i will change this
@tender creek if u want you can send me pastebin with your simc, i'll do topgear sim for you so you can use the best possible combination of your traits/items/enchants
but since with current gear the 2nd part is unlikely, killing it asap usually is the better way to parse
I can paste simc here?
no, the simc is too big
ok
just screenshot the top gear
just use pastebin and post the link here
Their are multiple guides that show u how to sim dont let others do it for u. U learn nothing that way
xd?
Someone helping and you understanding how they helped you is the same as (if not better) than doing it by urself
@ripe nimbus not everyone has prem raidbots and simming every single item will take hours
without premium
Aye, shit's a pain in the ass
@tender creek Your trais are indeed awful tbh. Unstable catalyst and meticulous aren't rly good. Yet, Eleem was on point, if you play subterfuge with SS (which is correct), refreshing an empowered garrote is the worst mistake. So you effectively lost 18sec from the first garrote (I am not even mentioning that you should garrote the adds for a better parse, as well as some energy regen).
yeah, you need to get better traits asap
near 100% sure that'll be the best set up without simming it
not gonna lie, your traits are ass 😄
You need first boss mythic helm^^
and then just reroll chest
until you get ceph/spymaster
and then you're good to go
Or mekka chest, dunno what you're progressing
@wanton glade i never garrote adds, i will try to garrote the adds in the opening
i'm try to get better azerite piece, but i get the same head 2x next weak i'll try i new chest
Hey guys, for m+ should i aim for 3SS + 3echoing ?
Nah
eys
yes*
if you want to, but that's like playing a worse outlaw atm
@tender creek I would think that Scent is better than Unstable -- at least more reliable. I wish you better rng 😃
If you want to get a more balanced build play more less eb's with some more ttk/bbi if possible
@rigid mango i try the first boss mythic but always get azerita in the roll bonus ¬¬'
?
Oh yeah heard of ttk too
Yeah
It's sorta there
You can do that if you want
and your overall dmg will reflect better most likely
@livid kestrel depends on what you wanna achieve 😃
But on a week like this esp
You sacrifice near all your ST dmg
I mean
It depends what he's running with
2-3 eb then mix of ss and ttk is how most high assas do it atm I think
@rigid mango about azerite head, i'm trying to get this piece, but when i kill first boss never drop and in the roll bonus they send me azerite for my azerite hearth
what are you talking about
If you want to go 3Eb, you just go all in and go 3 ss
Gore-Splattered Vest is good too because it will give u that 1xSS in rotation ...
most people use ss for 6/9 bosses
http://prntscr.com/nbsz9i @tender creek
in raids
galecalles's is better than kimbuls?
for raids? by far
@rigid mango what you mean pad dmg mate ?
but it depends on fight
If you want to go 3x eb ss
all ur doing is being a worse outlaw rogue
atm
Yea i like it i am not even changing it for whole raid ...
It could all change for 8.2, and it's probs gonna be a good spec to fill in what outlaw loses
But atm, if you go that set up, all you're doing is being an outlaw without ST traits
Esp on tyr weeks
@tender creek Even if you improve your gear like others have pointed out, the most damage gain you could get is from simply playing better
- You're frequently wasting combo points by using mutilate at 4 combo points, you should be using finishers here instead.
- Your bleed uptimes are decent but far from perfect, they should be 95%+, preferably 98%+. Yours are typically between 80-90%, which means you lose out on A LOT of damage and energy
- Check the proper opener found in the guide in the pins here.
- You should almost always line up vendetta with vanish, using them separately is suboptimal.
- STOP using garrotes after you dont have subterfuge from vanish up anymore, you can only get 3 casts inside it and you overwrite your garrotes in a lot of your logs
- You are not using tb enough (nor efficiently, but thats harder), missing out on between 10-20% of all possible casts on most fights
Im sure i can find more things to nitpick, but gear isnt the main issue
Hence why I recommend going multiple ss, 1-2 eb and fill in the blanks with ttk/bbi
its not comparable to outlaw and outlaw cleave and sin AoE are completely different. outlaw maintains single target dps while cleaving everything around it.. Sin just AoEs
Yeah
and when it comes to ST
sin has sacrificed every trait to get equal dps to outlaw
yet outlaw still has 5 ST traits
@spice surge yeah i didnt know about garrote, i always think that i need to refresh this with 6 second left, but i will let it run out and try to follow your tips
You are refreshing it right after you apply it
but if u go heavy SS + ttk + bbi with 1-2 eb you'll end up being really good at lower target count with a more prio dmg focused build
You go vanish > garrote > garrote > rupture (now your vanish buff is out) > garrote
Almost always
Which is horrendous
i use only 1 garrote?
Or 2 right away, just dont use a garrote outside of your subterfuge buff
u should plan ahead and have enough energy to Garrote, finisher, Garrote but if thats not possible just garrote, garrote
and then dont overwrite it
garrote, garrote, rupture, mutilate, toxic blade and evenom?
when i dont have subter ploc i can refresh it with 6 seconds? someone here tell me to dos this a time ago
something about pandemic effect
you refesh below 6 seconds when it's not empowered^
when it is empowered you let it run out and garrotte right after
you reapply after last tick
you NEVER want to overwrite an empowered one
You lose so much dmg
I mean
Depends what you want from it
do you only do m+ and only raid hc?
Tbh it's a really weird situation
all my gear has been farmed for outlaw but I am pretty fkn bored of that spec
well I have some lower ilvl pieces that I didnt bother simming https://i.imgur.com/PhYtXqJ.png
most of them are pure single target traits
You have pretty good peices for m+
So it's either chest or shoudlers, which sorta sucks because raid has both pieces
Mythic, that is
well I dont think im gonna be getting the mythic jaina shoulders any time soon
ah
Those pieces are pretty good for m+
DD
ah
3x NP is just a dps padding slow fight build or what
SS is pretty good for the first 6 bosses
Nah
it's just not worth it a lot of the time
ah
3DD is normally the core, 1 NP is a need
after that you can your own way pretty much
Atleast last 3 bosses, the first 6 normally have SS in there
Since a lot of the time you can get atleast 2 garrotes off out of stealth and using vanish
Hm
probs
idk if your group's good enough you can enitrely ignore add
and blast boss with full pure ST build
well I'm too lazy to do any guild related stuff so I just do pugs
haven't seen a good group in a while
Aye
Well now that the mythic lock has been lifted
you could pug mythic too, atleast the first 3 are quite easy
yeah I was gonna do first few bosses then raid leader randomly left so my group lock got wasted
better luck next week I guess
🤷
so basically if I wanna do mostly m+ next week I should get 415 chest for EB? and raiding I should get shoulders for DD
What do u mean 3 NP isnt worth it most of the time???
In a lot of cases, other stuff sims better^^
I mean your m+ set up atm is pretty good
Either one can result in upgrade or down grade, I'd rate your pieces near equal
guess I'll just flip a coin and see what happens
Yah
If you want to argue about 3np
for pure st
3dd 1np 1 bbi 1 ttk
is the best set up possible
for assa atm
Simulation data for everyone. Overview of DPS relevant simulation data for World of Warcraft.
I think np only wins when u get good vendetta timing right?
Champs helm, goraks shoulders and ceph chest
is the best set up
possible
atm
because it gives you 3x OP
Np is flat dmg, every time you cast it
and it's a really good trait, it would've been 3 dd 2np 1 bbi
had there been a chest
with dd np and op
but there isn't
mhm
thus, the best POSSIBLE set up is what I already said
Which is affected by Haste and mastery. and is super good for shorter fights which 90% of the raid is at now.
If you could pick and choose exactly everything, a dd np op chest
if fight is 5 min 50 seconds instead of 6 min 20 seconds u feel pretty bad too
missing out a vendetta with 3x np
So yeah @ripe nimbus Np isn't the best at 3 stacks
Myeh
It does suck a bit
but 🤷 nothing much to do about it tbh
ah btw how's the vendetta usage in m+ like 15+, just on cd?
you use it whenever you can
on a target that'll most likely survive
but always have up for bosses
aight
So after a while you'll get a feel for it
esp if you run with 1 specific group
Yah
Well it's also a substitute stealth
if for example awkward reaping spawan
spawn*
mid trash clearing
you don't get a restealth but you'd love the 3 garrotes to get to perma energy for FoK
so you vanish and set those up
true
assa is way more reliant on tank
i wonder what the next seasonal afix will be...
Everyone does
Wasnt it a healing affix?
We don't know yet.
I heard that it would be a bubble thats placed on ppl
And healers have to outheal it
Or something like that
cloak.
personally id like something that doesnt punish healers even more.
tbh st burst would make sin even more insane
i want to see something
that interacts with payer skill not class
like a dodge fest sometimes
but not during fight so that melee aren't too favored
Some rain that constantly falls and u have to doge?
i mean something that doesn't make or break a spec
sanguine, quaking, volcanic wind.
just you're a good player -> you do good on the affix
god. winds would suck on shroud runs. or boss mechancis. or pretty much a lot of finesse.
beats fear mechanics though. fuck loss of player controls.
but its prob not beefy enough. maybe time to swap that for quaking or volcanic
!azerite
Assassination Azerite Season 2 changes: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
wasnt there 3 affixes revealed when bfa came out?
there was some affix that makes u deal less dmg when full hp or smth?
wait wrong one
any affect that dps ignore and pressures healers alone probably shouldnt stack.
i cant find it now but when bfa came out there was some wowhead page i think about potential affixes and it was infest reap and one that makes u deal less dmg when full hp and one that makes enemies immune to cc
no battle rez would be nice
imaging being top3 rogue in the world on mekka
Sloot said that during the summit they had when they asked, blizzards response was that "something aszhara themed, but we dont really know yet"
Mekka is 100% rng
Get bombs and shrunk = bad log
Dont get it = good log
interesting opener
Tbf with MA starting in stealth is actually incredibly minor
Although his opener is odd
with MA
do you vanish tb envenom
or tb before vanish
i see people doing before and after
doesnt matter really
lmao please
I usually do tb before vanish
phishing for crit mutilate dd
since my tb doesnt hit that high :/
Well, on average tb hits higher than mutilate unless you have 3 DD
and if lucky on crits 2x envenom crit is good too
So its not that TB doesnt hit hard
mine hits for 80kish smth
I usually vanish with 4 or 5 cp then envenom>mutilate (hope for crit)> envenom
not sure if best option but it looks really nice opening on 60k+

Heyo, I'm in a bit of a rut here, I'm trying to see if I should by the BBI shoulders or the NP & DD chest or just leave it, I'd like to bounce some ideas off & see where I can improve since I keep seeing different things. As well as other pieces of my gear. Anything would be appreciated.
I was under the impression that x3 NP & DD were the best off of Mekka.
Dusting rogue off after long long time. Assassination or combat for levelling and casual m+?
Assasination since combat is not a rogue spec anymore
Hello. How do you think I should spend my ~10.3k of residuum?
Mostly for ST (though I would like to save some to get ss+echoing blades head&shoulders for m+, if possible).
We're only 6/9. And I reckon we'll be stuck there for a couple of weeks at least, so chest from Mekkatorque is out of the question for quite a while.

Outlaw is better for mythic + though
Sins still got its place
Outlaw is not strictly better for m+ than assa no
Sin in ML is juicy
Any time you pull enough trash back to back that you'd starve on BF charges, sin pulls ahead
I guess is how you good at spec pretty good assa can pull more than outlaw but that's it with Ever spec and class I think
I still play sin in m+ because it's what I like but still believe outlaw is better for trash and reaping. Not so much for boss pulls.
Yeah, you can't be top for aoe and st in m+ unless you are demo before nerf lul
or get good procs as outlaw
But that's too. Much rng
Do you think guys if they made outlaw buffs 3 and not 6, but combined it would made him too much op?
How can it be not massively rng, if you can spend 20 sec rolling for right buff but assa don't have such a thing?
Imo it is same rng like running m+ for tf gear
Buffs isnt the part of outlaw thats actually RNG
Getting pistol shot proccs is what determines your damage moreso than the buffs, the buffs are just what feels rng
I use it with vendetta, so the second one
Second ring*
Does cloak get rid of the blizzard effect that needs you to stack?
If you need too
keep in mind that the "you gotta stack" effect immediately starts again when cloak runs out
Yah
so you have 4sec after cloak runs out, or youll still be frozen
That's fine
Do you have your timings on what you use when seli?
Mostly vend/cloak usage
i cloak first ring for dps, i cloak intermission to soak swirlies for the raid on my side, and then just hold cloak for siegebreaker in p3
vendetta depends on how the boss plays out, which is largely dependant on your raids DPS
you can generally get 2 vendettas in in p1, one more in p2, and then hold for p3
can also hold in p1, use 2 in p2, and then you might get one more at the very end of p3, but i feel thats not worth. dps isnt really an issue until p3
You always vend wall right?
If you're doing the ranged extra dmg
No. In his example you dont vend wall
Oh ok
And save for p3
you try to pump as much damage in p3 as possible
i use plumage for wall and save vendetta for p3 tbh
if your raid struggles with wall at first, use vendetta on wall to make sure it dies
So just save gcb and tb
and then stop using it once its a bit smoother
Aight
you dont want to have a single wipe on that boss because you didnt have enough wall dps
thats just wasted potential
Yeah first day on jaina anyways so not expecting to get that far but
esp when youre getting to wall for the first few times, youre not gonna kill the boss anyway, so its better to make sure the wall dies so you get into p3 to practice the phase, than wipe cause people were holding back
You can vendetta on wall if you have a lot of range
just as the freezing stacks are gonna hit?
So they dont have to swap to the wall
We're doing 5 melee
But generally people hold for p3
rest ranged
just a matter of communicating within the raid that people will hold CDs eventually, so you dont get into troubles lateron 😄
Ok well, how good your ranged are
i think we have 2warlocks and 2mages blasting boss with bloodlust
while rest is on wall
so jaina is at 26% already when we get into the phase
reaching the wall on the first day is.......REALLY optimistic tbh^^
125 wipes and we had like 4 proper p2 pulls now
Yeah well I'm not that optimistic
I'm going with Subterfuge
for dungeons its always subterfuge right now
Okay . Thank you.
Dps spec rshaman outdpsing both our spriests 🤔
Aye that's what he's running
@marble hemlock have you seen Morning's build on MDI last night?
3x eb 3x ss and hidden blades
well, the restro shaman dps start DOES good dmg
Sometimes my Shadow Step doesnt work. Am I missing something.?
but it should not out dps a real dps
the spriest are either hit by every single mechanic or do something really wrong
maybe your spriest should actually dot stuff up instead of wanding lul
How does hidden blades even work? Do you always wait for it to be 20 stacks?
the same way legendary cloak worked in legion
stacks up to 20 every 2s
you can time it for bigger packs/reaping
im still salty assa got this talent and not subltety
since sub was the spec that used legendary cloak the most
It doesnt matter if you use the stacks right away or wait (as long as you dont overcap). The talent provides the same dps regardless
terrible design
for heavy AoE build is master poisoner better?
no
No
It's never better
nah, not watching MDI @strange python
not at all?
he pulled some insane numbers with this build
i tune in like once every few hours
but i mostly just check results, cba watching MDI
just makes me sad im not in it :/

Hi, I do not understand why I'm doing no scratch .. yet I find that my rotation I think ..

Any info on lurkers insidius gift yet ?
@undone sand first thing that hurts my eyes
you are talented into master assasin
yet you don't use vanish in your opener
🤷
Yes, otherwise you're essentially playing without 2 traits
is it still when you have at least 1SS you go subterfuge ?
yes
do i still garrote at 6 and rupture at 9 when using exang+
so lets say i use exang and my garrote falls on 6s, i garrote, right?
when you use exsang, you let the bleeds drop of and then apply them new
thanks guys
cus otherwise you waste uptime on the exsang buffed bleeds
you let empowered bleeds (ss garrote, exsang bleeds) run their full duration
The ENTIRE duration, not 99%. You let it drop entirely.
Does MA require a certain amount of crit ? Cause atm i have around 22-23% and i often find myself not getting enough cp
Just do what you can with what you have; if it sims better for you than using SUB+SS then it will on average lead to more DPS than the other options.
MA sims better - around 400 dps more but i get frustrated when i dont get enough cp
It's gonna happen, just remember that you are getting that crit applied to everything else as well during that window, not just Mut+ENV.
Thanks for ur reply
ya getting 2 cp from mut during MA window happens, just hold yourself and try not to cry
Can still proc DD
Yep, for tons and tons of damage.
C/M is good ye.
Thanks

If i have 3DD, should i use TB before vanish? So i can fit mut in the MA window ?
how much mastery should be min for M+ ?
like i got 29% crit but 26% mastery, that's why i am asking
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > mastery > vers >= haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
well i got stat weights
There isn't a min amount
but for me it seems like awkward to have best gear i have on myself and have that low mastery
just stack crit/mastery and go between 4-8% haste
and follow your statweights
low haste feels sometimes a but hard on boss fights, but u get used to it 😉
:p
