#

nah, its the ussual community interpretation

#

outlaw pulls 0,2%more? that means sin is USSLES!!!111!!!!

cobalt gyro
#

Only needs a single trait, sin needs a very good set of gear to do equally well

minor garden
#

Well, the runs i see assa pulls 30% less then outlaw

tropic ocean
#

then these assas are just

#

bad

cobalt gyro
#

30% less damage pretty much just means they don't blast reaping as hard as outlaw

#

but priority targets in a 3-5 mob pull?

#

they're probably destroying OL

real bay
#

30% less means they are not good

dark crag
#

I don't think the priority dmg gab between assa and outlaw is very high. It's there but outlaw is too easy to do well

Good morning fellow rogues ! I will try to bee the clearer i can (obviously english is not my native ) . I'm a recent rogue player who just ding 120 . I prefer the sin gameplay over outlaw one ( playing gamble feel ... meh) And i'm a bit lost when i check azerites traits i'm suposed to get. I understand there is plenty build for sin but , with the fact i'm pretty new on this toon and in the extension , i would know if there is a "global" build to start aiming before checking for specifics ones ? I play in NM/HM raids and do some mm+ to help friends (so in a range of +5 / +10 , not over)
actually i run 1 SS , 1 NP and 1 EB and i feel pretty useless in multi AND in mono x)

#

Or maybe outlaw is more "noob friendly" for unstuffed boy ?

dark crag
#

Get 1 wits and be set. Assa alone needs many combos of ss ttk eb for different affixes dungeons

#

You run 3 azerites less than anybody else, you should have 6 major traits

#

Eb is useless in st

#

For raid get dd np and if you like the playstyle ss, else go ma spec

#

Raid has good chest and head so gamble for gorak shoulders

dark crag
#

I thought it links wowhead

fair gate
#

oh ok , so obviously i have to get max NP , DD for ST but i will be "useless" for mm+ ? for these one i need an other stuff with EB and SS ?

rigid mango
#

Yes

#

For m+ ttk/ss/eb

#

Are the good traits

vestal wren
#

not sure about ttk

rigid mango
#

Any mix of those 3, is good, when you have better opportunites later you can muck around with the balancing

#

Ttk is very good

#

2+ ttk is worth while playing, 1 isn't really

vestal wren
#

i know i get jumped on again but there is no actual prove ttk is super valuable there.
Changing your rotation to priorize env is potentially the main reason ppl use ttk for

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

You just pump our prio target damage

vestal wren
#

yes but there is no actual connection to ttk there

rigid mango
#

You become sorta like a budget-pre-nerf-sub

vestal wren
#

other traits can work just as good for the prio damage increase

rigid mango
#

Yeah but with that you just spam fok into env

vestal wren
#

however the trait gives you the perception that its super good for it

rigid mango
#

And with tb one target gets nuked

#

It's also good for bosses

#

I mean ttk just increases damage by flat amount on env

#

You just spread dots with ss and 1/2 rup

#

Then start hard env dumping on 1 targrt

#

Not as good this week as others, but you have great control over what dies when

#

For bolst/sang etc

tropic ocean
#

well ttk increases the envenom dmg by a lot

#

and since u can just spam it in packs it gets super value

#

ever since I got 2 ttk i never wanted to go back

rigid mango
#

Idk pressing 1 fok to get cp to just do env fok env fok on a target with tb on it with 2+ ttk traits

#

Feels amazing

#

That thing fucking dies fast

tropic ocean
#

when last it was bolstering it felt so amazing

rigid mango
#

Yah

tropic ocean
#

being able to solo make targets die at the same time

#

even with 400 500k hp difference

rigid mango
#

Same for sang

#

Idk I'd defo say ttk is at the top tier for m+ traits atm

tropic ocean
#

did a 20 atal and in the pack after totem boss

#

i basically did 70% of hexers dmg

#

which is super good cuz the casts shred

rigid mango
#

Not skipping that pack besad

tropic ocean
#

the one downstairs

rigid mango
#

Ah

tropic ocean
#

with 2 stalkers

rigid mango
#

That's fair enough

#

Thought you meant pack of death

tropic ocean
#

nah ever since I saw when someone showed me to shroud from stalker 2 packs into totem boss

#

never played it differently

#

routes get better and betetr with mdi too

#

my last atal 19 was like 50sec left

rigid mango
#

Shroud and vanish/meld run out

tropic ocean
#

now with better route atal 20 with like 3min left or smth

rigid mango
#

Hellla neat

tropic ocean
#

well no vanish out for me as sin but we had hunter so he took care of it

rigid mango
#

Ah ye

#

I normally run w ne/dh so that fixes it

tropic ocean
#

maybe it a little bit placebo but at current state i'd even drop down to 1 eb and use 3ttk 2ss 1eb

#

the dmg value feels just so much better than the eb pad

rigid mango
#

I'm running 2 ttk 2 ss 1 eb 1 bbi

tropic ocean
#

and the overall isnt significantly lower

rigid mango
#

Feels pretty nice ngl

tropic ocean
#

i think my best motherlode with 3eb was 47k~

#

last motherlode I did with 2 eb 2ttk 2ss was 43k so

#

who cares

sacred vale
#

whats the best built for assassin this week for pluses

tropic ocean
#

the one you can play with

sacred vale
#

i havent played assassin in awhile i just got my rogue to 120 barely a week ago and was playing outlaw but its not cutting it for st

tropic ocean
#

well theres no "best" build

#

it depends on your gear, group constellation

#

any combination of traits shrouded suffocation/twist the knife/echoing blades is fine

sacred vale
#

alrighty

#

guess ill just see what i got im sure it will be better than outlaw this week with the gear i got

spice surge
#

Also, outlaw isn't bad for st. It's probably more about your gear/play

sacred vale
#

ya

#

i mean im like 390 simming barely 17kish

#

will resim again and see about changing things

#

that and im still getting use to the dice thing

#

is there an addon for the roll of dice buffs or is it just say f it and look at ur buff area

meager nebula
cosmic pier
#

how do you use vend + vanish in the MA build, with regards to TB alignment? is it fine to just vend>vanish>env >mut>env if TB isnt up, or should i wait for TB?

fallow carbon
#

so which is more important, getting a 3rd envenom during toxic blade, or refreshing rupture / garrote if they'll fall off while doing the 3rd envenom ?

cosmic pier
#

refreshing rup/garrote, losing the energy is huge. as long as get 2 envenoms in a TB its fine

#

try for 3 but be ok with 2

#

also not getting any pandemic has the knock on effect of costing more energy later (having to refresh the dots sooner)

hot urchin
#

What would guys consider a good amount of haste to be at 400?

cosmic pier
#

what ever the sims tell you that you need

#

there's no such thing as breakpoints anymore, just what stat gains improve your dps the most

hot urchin
#

Perfect, thanks!

spice surge
#

@cosmic pier Ideally you want to vanish inside tb+vendetta

#

But as always, if delaying means you lose a cast it's not worth, but most of the time you don't lose a cast

hot urchin
#

I saw a video that said to vanish after your opener when you’ve pooled enough energy, then TB out of stealth into your rotation

cosmic pier
#

yeah thats what i assumed, just delay the vend+vanish since youre less likely to lose a cast of it

spice surge
#

You don't need to vanish right after you vendetta

#

You can tb+vanish 10 sec into vendetta

#

Which means you'll have to hold it the next time sure, but you don't need to hold vendetta much at all

cobalt gyro
#

only time you really hold vend is to line up vanish with it

#

when you're running subt

cosmic pier
#

also for jaina, is it worth cracking a second set of cd's on the boat? I only have to wait ~20 secs once we start p2 for them to be back up

spice surge
#

If it means your push timings are better, sure

#

But it doesn't really matter

#

You're only gonna get 1 vendetta in P2 regardless

marble hemlock
#

if you dont need the 2nd set of cooldowns to transition before the 3rd ring, id suggest holding it

#

and getting a properly setup burst window in p2. if you pop CDs at the end of p1 a second time, youre gonna get the 3rd vendetta ~around the 2nd barrel, which has a lot more movement than the first

hot urchin
#

trying to create a TB buff timer weakaura... do you guys know if the 9 seconds start on a successful cast, aka you hit the target? for example it won't start if the TB gets dodged/parried etc

karmic ingot
#

Debuff doesn’t get applied if TB gets parried.

hot urchin
#

ah its a debuff, that makes things easier

#

i was making it an even

#

event**

#

thanks!

karmic ingot
#

Also, if you use the template in Weak Auras it’ll take care of all of that for you. If you need to know whether or not the debuff gets applied from a parried hit, you’re probably doing a lot more work than you need to.

hot urchin
#

yeah true, thank you!

karmic ingot
#

@marble hemlock do you end up losing a vendetta over the course of the fight if you hold it for P2? I’ve been using mine at the end of P1 to try to push before more bombards, avalanches, etc. but it definitely makes it awkward to use in P2.

marble hemlock
#

no

#

you will get 4 vendetta

#

or 3, if you hold on to it because dps in p1 doesnt matter

#

you can get 2 in p1, 1 in p2, 1 in p3. if you dont use the second one in p2, you still only get one in p2, but with a better timing

karmic ingot
#

Gotcha. So 1 less in total. I’m guessing overall damage ends up being about the same but you have more damage in the later phases.

spice surge
#

Overall damage is entirely irrelevant unless youre trying to parse

karmic ingot
#

Yeah I know.

#

Pushing phase 1 before the second bombard from the third ship makes everything a lot cleaner though. We’re not always doing that consistently. I’ve been using my second vendetta to push P1 but we also haven’t gotten to the wall yet. I’m not sure if it’s going to mess up my timings later in the fight.

marble hemlock
#

vendetta will barely help with that, since on most pulls that bombardement comes in at ~2minutes and 10seconds

#

so even if you 2nd vendetta p1, it wont really help with transitioning the boss faster, since youll pop it like 3% before transition

spice surge
#

Not if you cloak the second ring, then you get most of the vendetta of

marble hemlock
#

meh, sure, but then you cant help soak swirlies in intermission

#

1 question about m+ this week. it is tyrannical but with easy affixes. so more mobs can be pulled. should i use 2 EB 2 SS 1 DD 1NP or 2 SS 1 EB 1blightborne infusion 1 NP 1 dd

marble hemlock
#

do you have some other pieces that doesnt have NP?

#

or DD

#

neither one of these traits are very good for m+, even on tyrannical

crystal vessel
#

Is TTK really that far behind DD/SS and NP?

marble hemlock
#

for singletarget? nah

#

its not great, but its not terrible by any means either

#

the cephalohide chest for example has TTK+DD+OP and sims higher than mekka which has NP+DD and a slightly worse t3 trait

#

so its not like theres a huge discrepancy

crystal vessel
#

Just depends on if you want bigger burst damage or more sustained?

rigid mango
#

It's not far behind damage wise in the end

#

Highest simming ST azerite set up includes 1 ttk

#

since cephalohide chest has OP on it

#

It's not bad if you can pick it, but there are certain better picks

hardy mulch
#

whats the other 5 in this sim?

rigid mango
#

?

#

Traits?

hardy mulch
#

y

rigid mango
#

Highest ST trait sim is 3dd 1 np 1 bbi 1 ttk 3 op

#

1st boss helm/goraks/ceph

#

if there was a chest with dd np op that'd sim higher than ceph

#

but atm, there isn't, so on the basis of 3 op ceph sims higher than spymasters/mekka

fallow carbon
#

bbi = blightborn infusion ?

tropic ocean
#

yes

ornate osprey
#

so i can go 3 ss 2 eb 1 bbi for m+

tropic ocean
#

yeah you can

tribal marlin
#

worth taking KR tank trinket for M cabal ?

#

1mn30 cd for 70k absorb sound like I could take debuff 100% with that

dark crag
#

does someone sim +27k here?

tribal marlin
#

I do why ?

dark crag
#

can i have a look at your gear?

tribal marlin
#

erf not really since I'm geared for M Cabal right now (with 3xSS etc...)

#

I have 3xDD 2xNP 1xTC and 8 sockets

#

415 ilvl

dark crag
#

then i am not that far off. 3DD 2NP 1 TC 417 2 Sockets

#

26,9k was max

tribal marlin
#

what trinket do you have ?

#

well that's a fair enough sim xD

dark crag
#

405 plumage 420 deadeye

tribal marlin
#

I have 405socket dice and 410 eye

#

I mean CoS trinket

dark crag
#

maybe i could get a bit more with all azerites i have but i love sub too much to give it up

tribal marlin
#

and i'm around 26.9k too

#

you won't get much more sim dps with azerite unless you don't have 3x Overwhelming power and can get it

dark crag
#

got so excited when a trinket dropped first hc week, then i saw it and my day was ruined

tribal marlin
#

I looted 420 socket, my gm looted 410

#

I ended up with the 410 -)

dark crag
#

F

tribal marlin
#

actually it's really hard to use

#

the dot is nasty

#

unusable on most high keys, not usuable on Mythic progression

dark crag
#

i thought so

tribal marlin
#

it's splashed over 30sec but it still deal around 170k damage overall

harsh sphinx
rigid mango
#

Just get the CoS trinket

desert orchid
#

is nothing personal worth stacking?

rigid mango
#

It sims like an extra couple hundred atleast

#

yeah

#

it is

desert orchid
#

stacked np better than a single np and a tk?

rigid mango
#

Depends

#

In what context and what your pieces, simming is gonna be the answer my dude

#

np as is sims better than ttk

#

but depends on third ring too^^

desert orchid
#

I have a head, unstable, and elemental

rigid mango
#

Ah

#

It's 1 piece

#

then yeah, np'll probs sim higher

#

but sim to make sure^

desert orchid
#

thx

bitter palm
#

I don’t have lurkers trinket yet but is there a guide on using it for a good stretch of time? Just communicating to healers that you’re a priority and cloaking the worst?

rigid mango
#

I mean just telling them

#

you know, taking about 10k a tick here a HoT or two would be neat

civic palm
#

It's not that much damage to begin with, just surprise them.

rigid mango
#

that's about it, it's not enough to be actually scary

bitter palm
#

Ah I’d read before the dot got really high. That’s not bad at all

royal lantern
#

allright, i have a question, is the envenom dmg calculated the moment you use the skill, or the moment you hit the enemy and the dmg number shows up?

#

example: TB at 1sec left, you use envenom, and hit the enemy when the tb timer is at 0

#

still tb buffed or not?

spice surge
#

Wdym, there is no traveltime for envenom since its a melee skill

#

It hits when you press it

civic palm
#

Just open the Combat Log and see for yourself :3

humble crane
nocturne gate
#

do u guys take all buffs at td 17+ ?

rigid mango
#

Depends on group

#

but I normally just take the ones on our side

#

Cba taking other side, td is easy enough to time

nocturne gate
#

i thought that also

rigid mango
#

Although if you don't have int/ap buff with heavy caster/heavy melee might be worth

#

idk, most of the time is made up by the cannon thos

lost horizon
#

tyrannical the wisdom buff is realllly nice

shy dust
#

What are the reccomended traits for M+?

wooden fog
#

@royal lantern at 0 seconds it still applies before the buff is still up as it shows the 0 second timer. Typically I mixmax by using this principle.

crystal vessel
#

@humble crane who the heck burst that?!

tropic ocean
#

@shy dust any combo of ttk ss eb is good

shy dust
#

and any general idea of what good stats to go for are?

civic palm
tropic ocean
#

For m+ crit/mastery is ur best friend

#

is it viable or worth while to level or M+ as Sin?

solid nova
#

Yes

humble crane
#

@rose perch I was talking to you about whether you would drop a SS for more ST the other night on your stream. Wondering how your burst window compares to mine (have to scroll up a little) during lust/9stack burst on cabal.

it doesnt matter which weapon has what enchant right? so long as I have two different ones?

strange python
#

is 3ttf + 2SS + 1EB viable?

#

or is it not even worth it to run only 1 EB?

nimble tartan
#

I was running a 1 ss setup for m cabal and liked it a lot averaged like 43k dps over the course of the night like 30 pulls

#

It felt good to me i do think that more ss setup probably more overall dps but the 1 felt good playin it I felt like my st push damage to phase was a lil more value and I wasn’t losing out too much on other stuff

tropic ocean
#

@strange python it is perfectly viable

woven summit
#

Yo, what do you think about the CoS trinket? Is it really that BIS?

spice surge
#

Why wouldnt it be?

#

As long as you dont die by using it, its an incredibly strong trinket

rose compass

It says outlaw but i am assassination

lusty narwhal
#

Good solid traits, trinkets okay, only thing I can tell you to fix there is increase the amount of haste you have

#

12% is pretty low

rose compass
#

I have all the haste i can get with my current gear just gotta get more gear

lusty narwhal
#

Thats about all you can do then really

rose compass
#

whats a good amount to aim for? in a general sense

woven summit
#

Depends on your goals in the game.

rose compass
#

i just wanna contribute to my raid

woven summit
#

I have 20% haste and haven't raided mythic yet only cleared heroic BoD and CoS

#

I do over 20K dps

#

depending on fights

rose compass
#

im not a mythic raider and dont plan to be just normal and heroic

woven summit
#

then if you can get around 20% you are great

rose compass
#

k thanks

#

would you recommend ttk + DD or DD+NP

#

i currently have 3 DD 2NP 1 ttk

woven summit
#

what was ttk again? i'm always losing myself with these acronyms

rose compass
#

twist the knife

woven summit
#

DD+NP

#

I'd go with that

rose compass
#

k thanks

woven summit
#

np

lusty narwhal
#

Uhhh

#

I would say leave the TTK and have 2 NP

#

Hey all, I ran Subterfuge for a long time, then switched to MA because it simmed 200 dps higher, but I've been told SF is still beneficial in M+, etc and to still run it. thoughts?

#

?

civic palm
#

It is.

woven summit
#

cant do keys without subterfuge, you need it to line up your garrotes

Any idea how much cost of items for titan resedium will go up in 8.2

only theories so far, nothing confirmed yet

I think people that were in the blizz meeting said 25x

mythic to mythic that is

#

BBI over TC? I have all 3 bis azerite bits at 415. Or just Sim? Wasn't sure how good Sims are for proccing effects like bbi

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
glacial jasper
#

@drifting cloud that’s pretty steep

drifting cloud
#

dont think its offical, but yeah they dont want people to gain a big edge

glacial jasper
#

Almost 200k for pick a piece

meager nebula
#

its mostly to avoid the high end teams walking in with 3 pieces of max ilvl azerite

#

but the price isn't confirmed officially yet

glacial jasper
#

Yea, I get not official

#

I wouldn’t think 25 times is done that’s a bonkers amount

#

What was the increase last time

drifting cloud
#

just to make your hoarded one as irrelevant as possible

meager nebula
#

15 times i believe

drifting cloud
#

it was around 10x

meager nebula
#

it was a bit under 10 actually

glacial jasper
#

70k seems more realistic

drifting cloud
#

it will be bigger than before for sure

#

because residium mechanic came in the middle of the tier and they were able to stack up so much for BOD

#

if it only went x10 like oceblade said all top guild will have x3 mythic azerite before they even step into it

strange python
#

people figure out a talent set theyre running consistently? or does it switch up weekly for m+

#

was thinking of trying out 3ttk 2eb 1ss, but not sure if i'd lose a lot of value from garrotes doing that

stable pine
#

3ttk is feelsbad - my opinion though - everyone else seems to dig it

strange python
#

that's what i've been reading also. i'm still running 3eb/ss but boss damage is pretty low

stable pine
#

I’ve been running 3eb/2ss/1ttsk boss dmg is also low hahaha

strange python
#

actually, yeah. i'm running 3eb 2ss 1ttk LOL

#

i mean, i guess in that sense, losing 1 eb and ss for 2x ttk would boost boss dmg by a fair bit as well as not losing all too much on adds

near pilot
#

is tricks broken for anyone else? my clique bind isnt working, tried a focus macor, even just targetted the tank and hit it from spell book and it always says invalid target all of a sudden

meager nebula
#

does your tank have a neural silencer

near pilot
#

multiple tanks, and current one doesnt

solid nova
#

What about on yourself?

#

Check your own buffs for it

near pilot
#

nothing just the glowing glove, then if i click on tank invalid target

meager nebula
#

were they mounted

near pilot
#

nope, can somebody paste their macro

#

my clique worked fine up to yesterday

drifting cloud
#

if it doesnt work from spellbook its neural silencer

#

not sure what else it could even be

distant lava
#

Sounds like what happened to me

#

And i had silencer on

near pilot
#

noway my whole party has em, their not that good at trolling lol

distant lava
#

So if its not that idk PPepoShrug

#

Maybe yoi have it

near pilot
#

damn, ill figure it out

drifting cloud
#

maybe you have an addon that hides the buff of it or something

valid cipher
#

@near pilot got the same prob. Just replace the spell on your bar by the spellbook once. Worked for me

patent elk
#

Is it possible to interrupt Aspix's Jolt cast in temple without taking any dmg from lightning shield?

meager nebula
#

A focus kick macro prevents you from auto attacking him and getting hit I believe

near pilot
#

@valid cipher thanks but not same for me 😦 ill try some stuff out

valid cipher
#

If you focus the tank and click on tricks directly in the spellbook, what happens?

shrewd night
#

Coming from outlaw Im having some questions regarding EP. Back in Antorus I remember being golden if the next finisher I cast was still within the previous EP window. Yet now I dont neccesarily see that being possible most of the time, either because of unlucky crits or too low energy regen. Is EP something we play around at all, possibly is it just me needing to calm my outlaw fingers and slow down the pace?

distant helm
#

I personally cant keep it up on pure single target fights, during vendetta i usually try to use the finisher at the last second so you still get the bonus dmg

harsh sphinx
#

it's much more methodical compared to outlaw imo , some say boring but i enjoy it. i think TB windows play a bigger factor than EP

#

and getting them crits

signal salmon
#

@shrewd night ep is just to buff dd trait as for me

#

Also, in legion u vanish with Master assassin at 5 Cp. Now u enter with no Cp at all to start tb window and proc DD twice

real bay
#

some prefer to do vanish env muti env

#

you need luck

dark crag
#

Or vanish tb env mut

#

Or tb vanish mut env mut

#

You see all kind of stuff but they all crit in ma window. No crit = unlucky

tribal marlin
#

as long as manage to fit TB -> Mut -> Env in your EP windows I think you fine

real bay
#

wouldn't worry a lot about EP , properly doing TB windows is higher importance ,2-3 env on each

serene elbow
#

is it possible to survive the crushing doubt aoe dmg (#2) on mythic restless cabal while u have 9 stacks of the dmg buff/debuff with only feint ?

marble hemlock
#

feint doesnt work on crushing doubt

#

the only way to survive it consistently, is to run 3 resounding protection, get a disc preshield, and pre-feint with elusiveness talented

#

2RP are fine too, but that requires people to run out properly so you only take 40k per hit, so 80k in total

#

with elusiveness thats ~60k damage after mitigation, and you get ~45k absorb from 2RP+Preshield

serene elbow
#

so how can u survive ?

#

cloak is obvious but then u also lsoe the dmg buff

spice surge

Get dispelled

serene elbow
#

wihtout losing the buff

#

😃

spice surge
#

Play another class

marble hemlock
#

i just described it?

spice surge
#

And/or complain on reddit until they fix feint

marble hemlock
#

get resounding protection traits, talent elusiveness, make sure the disc pre-shields you every time. you will still need a dispel prior to fathuul transitions

#

i tried with 1RP+elusiveness+preshield, and it wasnt enough

#

that was 1RP. with a second one, i wouldve survived with like 3k HP

serene elbow
#

there is a guild halcyon tehy played with 2 rogues and neitehr of them has any resounding protection trait

#

and in they kill vid, rogue pov he just stays 100% hp with not using anything

marble hemlock
#

they both get dispelled

#

before crushing doubts?

cobalt gyro
#

fake news

tribal marlin
#

1st you survive because only 4-5 stacks, 2nd you should have Raptured pws + Barrier + SLT, then you can survive another one with Cheat death and you should have Barrier+SLT combo for 4th

serene elbow
marble hemlock
#

i mean, you can see it in the video, no?

#

rapture shield+bubble+ankhtotem

cobalt gyro
serene elbow
#

hes getting dispelld but after chrushing doubt or nah ?

marble hemlock
#

they just all stack up in the priestbubble and have both discs blanket the raid with rapture shields

tribal marlin
#

with 2 disc you'll never die from that shit

marble hemlock
#

theres no difference between having 1 or 2 disc

#

1 disc can blanket most people who dont survive it by themselves

#

and you cannot stack priestshields

cobalt gyro
#

they even called personals as well

#

so that + personals

tribal marlin
#

yes you can ?

#

anyway 2disc is a constant thing in multiple kill we saw on this boss there is a reason

marble hemlock
#

yeah, because disc is good

#

but you cannot stack PW:S due to WS debuff

tribal marlin
#

doesn't WS only apply for the caster ?

cobalt gyro
#

no

#

target

serene elbow
#

ok, thank you Seliathan

spice surge
#

Well

#

With 2 disc you have rupture more often and more barrier

#

Which means stronger shields

serene elbow
#

& odowla

spice surge
#

But you cant have multiple shields no

marble hemlock
#

is the damage you linked

#

so its devotion aura + rapture shield + PWB

spice surge
#

Wait the disc is the video used regular barriers

tribal marlin
#

you can stack shield bro

#

wake up

#

you can put 12 shield on the same guy if you have 12 priest ...

cobalt pelican
#

are you drunk

cobalt gyro
#

there's a debuff you get that prevents you from doing that

tribal marlin
#

it only prevent the caster from spamming shield

cobalt gyro
#

no

cobalt pelican
#

the person who gets the shield gets weakened soul preventing further shields..

#

even when weakened soul wasn't a thing last tier

tribal marlin
#

it was made so that priest can spam shield on multiple people but not on the same guy

cobalt pelican
#

you couldn't 12 shield someone

cobalt gyro
solid nova
cobalt pelican
#

the more powerful shield overwrote the less powerful shield

solid nova
#

Not sure what you're talking about there mate.

cobalt pelican
#

they didn't stack infinitely

cobalt gyro
#

if it worked that way, i mean

#

why wouldn't you just full stack disc priests

#

and literally ignore every mechanic ever

tribal marlin
#

ok wait

#

because I think you think i'm mad

#

so imma link you a screen

marble hemlock
#

the tooltip may say "you cannot be affected by that players shield again" but it applies to all priests

tribal marlin
#

since you obviously never played priest

marble hemlock
#

there are fringe cases when everyone uses pw:s at the exact same time

#

where they can apply multiple shields due to the ws debuff not being present yet server-side

tribal marlin
#

WS is caster only thing

#

2 priest 2 shield 2 WS debuff

marble hemlock
#

no

spice surge
#

Well, show us a log with that then

tribal marlin
#

2 priest 2 shield 2 ws

marble hemlock
#

as i said, there can be fringe cases where its possible

#

is that 1discshield +1sp shield?

tribal marlin
#

yes it is

marble hemlock
#

so youre literally taking the one exception of the rule

#

which i already mentioned

#

its called rapture

#

which SPECIFICALLY circumvents the "only 1 shield per caster" rule

#

to say "ye, you can have more than 1shield"

tribal marlin
#

ok imma take another screen

solid nova
#

Does this come back around to #assassination at any point or is it priest lessons?

tribal marlin
#

here

sturdy python
#

According to priest disc multiple priests can shield the same target

tribal marlin
#

2 disc 2 shield 2 WS and number are confimed with the wa

marble hemlock
#

well, it started with the question of whether assa can survive crushing doubt without RP

tribal marlin
#

yes so I tell you if you have 2 disc priest you can easily survive no matter what

marble hemlock
#

but i guess i learned something new then. weird how not a single player in the entire raid got a double-shield that wasnt cast with 1 priest having rapture up 🤷

tribal marlin
#

best thing is to get a weakaura that actually count up how many damage you can take

#

so you know if you need to use c os or not

marble hemlock
#

in any case, even double PW:S is not enough to survive crushing doubt unless the raid uses even more externals (as in the video linked its devotion aura+pw:b) unless youre playing elusiveness and prefeint it properly

tribal marlin
#

yes it isn't enough (without rapture should be around 45k absorb) but you can

#

add this some stuff like inge belt

marble hemlock
#

seems to have been a 8.1 change btw, wasnt aware of that, so sorry for the misinformation

tribal marlin
#

it's fine and it's indeed a 8.1 change

marble hemlock
#

its still barely worth it, considering you have to dispell only slightly later for fatguy transition anyway

tribal marlin
#

back 8.0 priest could spam shield anywhere anyday but then they put this back to prevent theim from spamming shield on the same target

marble hemlock
#

while rogue can do significant dps if you can keep the debuff rolling, it requires some investment in the form of gear and raid-attention, im not sure if id ask my discs to preshield properly every single time just for a slight dps increase

tribal marlin
#

but for M Cabal I think there is maximum 4 time where you will actually tank Crushing doubt with stacks

marble hemlock
#

the transitions line up pretty well with 2mins, so you can get a full debuff vendetta out every ~2mins anyway without having to play around absorbs that much

tribal marlin
#

that's the idea

#

only get that full stack for your vendetta

#

and it should line up with multiple raid cd

#

like Rapture / Barrier / SLT

#

using Cheat death for tanking one

#

can also be a thing

marble hemlock
#

i tried maximizing promise uptime last raid and it didnt feel worth it, so ill just take the debuff now whenever i can unload CDs, play the appropriate azerite to maximize dps within those windows, and then just do regular cleave and help soaking instead

tribal marlin
#

you'll only do 4 anyway

cobalt gyro
#

that sounds like

#

SS /NP traits

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

pmuch

cobalt gyro
#

and just play around the BIG burst

marble hemlock
#

i ran 2scent and could hold 50-60k

#

but its so much more attention required

#

and not worth the risk

cobalt gyro
#

that sounds like a lot of work

#

i definitely found SS traits the play on that fight ho

marble hemlock
#

it is, and i died a handful of times or hit a stun cause playing melee multidot on that mess of a fight (as in visual mess) is just insane

spice surge
#

@marble hemlock I could run 3x scent and 3x ttk with 2x rp 🤔

cobalt gyro
#

btw

marble hemlock
#

dont

cobalt gyro
#

you're a fucking wizard for TTK build

#

finally had my group pull enough to make it worth

marble hemlock
#

im pretty confident in my ability to multidot and still be aware of my surrounding

spice surge
#

Oh mb its 2x ttk and 1ss

marble hemlock
#

but on that fight

#

i just cant

spice surge
#

Yeah im probably not going to, but that seems like the log setup

marble hemlock
#

eihtere you play safe, lose uptime, and then scent isnt worth it

#

or you do, and youre gonna have eagle-eye rank5

cobalt gyro
#

literal bggest brain play

marble hemlock
#

well, the giga-parse setup is to either run 3RP and just keep the debuff, or just have priests pre-shield properly

cobalt gyro
#

run 3 RP + engi belt

spice surge
#

564 agi per rupture target with 3scent 🤔

tribal marlin
#

check out thoose 2 rogue that killed the boss

spice surge
#

Big agi

tribal marlin
#

they did the thing pretty properly with taking 4 debuff

cobalt gyro
#

idk i find it hard to have value with lots of ruptures

#

and scent traits

tribal marlin
#

(other rogue in the log only take 1 debuff at the start)

cobalt gyro
#

bc to maximize the buff you wanna be spamming out ruptures

#

but then it feels like a waste because all you're doing is tab rupture tab

marble hemlock
#

well, the 2nd vendetta lineup is pretty bad

#

i suppose you could proc CD on purpose there

tribal marlin
#

ye I think they play CD to get that one easy tanking

#

insteed of feint talent

marble hemlock
#

well, they still feint curhsing doubt w/o elusiveness

#

even tho regular feint doesnt work 😄

cobalt gyro
#

to be fair

#

unless you actual look it up

#

it's safe to assume it should work

marble hemlock
#

at this point, feint hasnt reduced fall-off damage on any of the major fights in the last ~3tiers

#

the last one i recall where it did still work, was nighthold

#

both elisande tank-debuff and anomaly bombs could be reduced with feint as far as i recall

#

every mechanic that came after or even some that came before that had more than just a strict damage-component (i.e. dresaron aoe was damage AND a knockback) feint was very unreliable and more often than not did not work

timid cloud
#

What about Kin’goroth?*

deft bolt
#

we knew feint didnt work on the doubts, usually its muscle memory or running out of melee and being energy capped etc

marble hemlock
#

its just the muscle memory of "taking damage, lets feint" that weve been accustomed to

#

as i said, fall-off damage has been very weird recently

#

maybe bombs were different because its not based on distance to a player, but a doodad

#

whereas siegebreaker/crushing doubt are

#

but in the end its just something thats not consistent, period, so we have to figure out what it works on and where it doesnt work

deft bolt
#

if you have healers with the absorb trinket (from uunat i think) you can survive 9 stack promise, thats how we did it every second one

#

the other we had a cd stack for

timid cloud
#

It doesn’t work on KR final boss either?

marble hemlock
#

nope

deft bolt
#

we assumed we needed to have very good promise uptimes on everyone since we couldnt class stack

fallen bay
#

should i be buying 415 azerites if i got only 1 or should i keep residium for 8.2 ?

marble hemlock
#

do you need/want upgrades now? then buy them now

fallen bay
#

don't think it will make big diff for 15/16+ key right ?

marble hemlock
#

hard to say, depends on the azerite you currently have 😄

#

and what you consider "a big difference"

#

specific max-ilvl azerite with 8.2 will be ~30-40k i imagine

#

probably more

fallen bay
#

well i am able to have 3EB and 3TTK, not at the same time and having perma 1 SS at least

marble hemlock
#

so saving up a couple of thousand now will not really allow you to get a new max ilvl azerite the moment the patch drops

#

well, that seems good enough i suppose

#

but again, even random max ilvl will probably be somwhere around 15-20k

timid cloud
#

Certain stuff is just gonna bang you if you don’t have 415’s in Tyran.

plucky oak
#

random will cost 43125 residuum

marble hemlock
#

there was no source for that tweet tho

#

so im skeptical

spice surge
#

It was sloot that said it from the summit

#

He said they were considering increasing the cost/reward per tier by 5x instead of 3x as it is right now

#

Which would be 25x as expensive

marble hemlock
#

we had a ~9times increase in cost between the two previous tiers, so it'd be weird to suddenly have a much much bigger one

timid cloud
#

Saving up like 5k won’t really matter then if that’s the case.

marble hemlock
#

esp since it would still allow people with gear-share raids to funnel enough azerite into a single person so hes able to buy a maxlvl piece the moment the new raid comes out

spice surge
#

Tbf method is gonna be able to do that for most of their players almost regardless of what they price them at 😄

#

Josh' hc run the week before crucible gave him 2.4k residum

timid cloud
#

Josh & Frag gonna run 15 splits a week again.

Is there a macro I need to cancel the CoS trinket, like the one we used in HFC for soul cap

cobalt gyro
#

@marble hemlock should i try my shrouded + BBi piece for my ttk set or just leave it, do you think

bleak spoke
#

@marble hemlock racing flag on kr last boss is fkn god tier

#

Thanks for the recommendation!

#

And the macro xd

north star
#

is it normal for plumage + galecaller together simming much lower than pretty much any other combination of good trinkets? (plumage + dice , plumage + dead-eye , boon + dice, boon + deadeye, etc..) i don't get it

heavy trail
#

2xuse trinket

spice surge
#

Because using one on-use trinket puts the other one on a 20s cd

#

So you cant use them at the same time, which makes one of them A LOT worse

north star
#

oh i dind't know that

#

that explains it

#

thanks

@cobalt gyro id just run the ss+bbi

Hey guys starting cabal tried today(guild allready had some enrage wipes). I read that you can survive the aoe with RP traits? Is that correct ? Don’t want to try it out and sabotage

ive gambled every shoulder atleast once so far

@nocturne gate not rly 😄 its the boots n trinket

apart from gorak tul

and 6x tentacle laces 4x pistoleers i think

imagine buying 10 shoulders when u coulda bought the one u wanted twice over now

🤷

quasi pewter
#

IMGINE

#

10 is low propably more like 16 so far

but im saving now

#

if you take expected value buying specific is only very slightly better than gambling anyway, + you get some offspec pieces, but i guess i should have stopped after 3 or so

is mythic like hc now with pugging. can come diff raid per boss?

that have both killed atleast 1 boss

12 sockets? eat a dick 😦

Think it's just with item ID's, posted a sim earlier with 27.3

strange python
#

ye i know, no one is gonna be that lucky 😃

spice surge
#

Well you definitely can be

rigid mango
#

Rise who posted his sim has supposidly highest sim of all sin rogues according to warcraftlogs

#

but it's not very accurate

spice surge
#

Not gonna get 12 425s with sockets

#

But getting 410s ish just requires lots of play and slight luck

vestal wren
#

29k simdps O.o

rigid mango
#

Yeah if you're spamming 10+ all day

#

You're bound to get a good amount of them

#

There isn't a list of the highest sims anywhere is there?

spice surge
#

I have 7 sockets, but unfortunately no lurkers yet so 😦

rigid mango
#

7 Sockets is a lot

#

me wanty

spice surge
#

Only 1 that is 420, rest is 400-415s

#

I had 9 sockets late uldir 😄 But then i also played a lot more pvp

rigid mango
#

Currently got 5 sockets so

spice surge
#

And pvp is definitely more gear than m+, but requires you to be high rating and actually win games, so its signifciantly harder

rigid mango
#

Yeah fair enough, never done pvp grinding

#

Since WoD so

spice surge
#

But obv it cant give trinkets (now that lurker>pvp trinkets) nor 2p cloak/ring

rigid mango
#

Myeh

#

I mean what's the highest simming trink combo now

#

dice lurkers?

spice surge
#

Assuming same ilvl yeah

rigid mango
#

Can't get a dice to forge for the life of me so never getting that

#

running fucking ML trink LUL

spice surge
#

Just get a 400 socket :^)

lost horizon
#

oof

rigid mango
#

Aye I mean

#

my ML trink is atleast 420

#

but idk, I've run like

lost horizon
#

sockets are ridiculous rn

rigid mango
#

30+ runs of fh

#

still yet to be on the receiving end of any forge

spice surge
#

@lost horizon 8.2 has epic gems

rigid mango
#

or a socketed

#

dice

spice surge
#

So its 60 per socket instead 😄 😄 😄 😄

rigid mango
#

yikes

spice surge
#

or 120 agi

lost horizon
#

i know

#

it's insane that it's getting worse

spice surge
#

Not by much though, since the scaling of gear isnt linear

rigid mango
#

My friend got a 415 socketed dice on his dh alt

lost horizon
#

honestly you shouldn't be able to get sockets randomly

rigid mango
#

When I boosted him :^)

lost horizon
#

it should be fixed

spice surge
#

A 5 ilvl titanforge is worth a lot more from 420>425 than 385>390

lost horizon
#

either per equip slot or per item

spice surge
#

Yeah idk

rigid mango
#

Idk feels weird that sockets are just worth that much

lost horizon
#

make all rings have sockets since it's insane to balance them with random sockets

spice surge
#

Imo its fine, but it should be capped at something so you cant run around with 10 sockets 😄

lost horizon
#

or make them never be able to get sockets

#

capping # of sockets equippable is sort of gross

rigid mango
#

do rings have a higher socket chance?

lost horizon
#

just not an elegant solution

rigid mango
#

cuz it feels like it

lost horizon
#

doubtful, but the value of socket on rings is so high that you always see them

rigid mango
#

idk find that shit

#

weird

#

I hate ttf's

#

but now it's like ttf's deluxe

stuck knoll
lost horizon
#

imo the best solution is to remove the random socket rolls and just set certain gear or slots to always be socketed

keen elk
#

hello all; quick question about running multiple nothing personals. i see tons of rogues run more than 1 when possible but have yet to come across a simming scenario where that is ever better in single target/lightmovement models. Is there something specific that enables this build? Or just a side effect of the best azerite pieces happen to also have multiple NP's?

civic palm
#

it Sims better for the people that use it, or they just wanna.

keen elk
#

gotcha. right on thanks. i just wasnt sure if there was gear breakpoint or something that enabled that specific build since so many 413-418 builds run as many as possible and ive never seen a sim recommend more than one haha i appreciate the quick response!

rigid mango
#

Np is very good still even after the 1st trait and (excluding dd since you should always aim for 3 with those builds) it only gets outsimmed by bbi as a standalone trait

#

But 3rd ring matters too and a piece with op might still sim higher than non op piece with np, thus choosing the op piece @keen elk

#

Prime example of this is cephalohide chest where dd ttk op outsims dd np elemental etc, since thete are no dd np op chests atm, ceph is BiS

keen elk
#

Perfect! Thanks for the in-depth response. It seams the piece that has stayed consistent and kept simming a 2nd np was in exchange for 80% or higher uptime on treacherous covenant. I was tinkering with it and if that uptime is below 80% or the fight is shorter than 5 minutes the 2nd NP sims higher on both SSx2DDx1 and DDx3 builds for single target.

rigid mango
#

I mean when running basic 3 DD MA builds

keen elk
#

Thank you for the detailed response though! That helps a lot. 3 weeks back after a 2 year break hah relearning while also trying to keep up with mythic progression

rigid mango
#

normally you'll see 1/2np and a bbi/ttk

#

Optimally 1 of each

#

Assuming chest is ceph and shoulders are goraks

#

For the difficult bosses you'll be better off going a heavy DD build with MA

#

for the first 6 SS's can be good for doing more damage, but a lot of the time it's pad damage for parses

keen elk
#

Yeah for sure, I’ve got the padding down on champs, jadefire, grong and conclave. And then running outlaw on opulence and looking like for rasta too now (first week saving lockout and working on him) so I’m just tinkering with sin stuff for learning purposes for the time being

rigid mango
#

Yeah I mean for the first 6 bosses you can pretty much run most things

#

and you'll have a decent time

#

but rasta for example

#

you can run a bunch of SS if you want, but the damage you're doing isn't really damage, it's just pad

#

add damage doesn't really matter, what matters is the ST damage

#

So you might aswell run standard MA build

#

Even though on the meters you might look worse because you're not padding as hard as all the others

keen elk
#

Yeah so basically we’re running DD/MA build on the progression and pure ST fights while we run SS/pad build to parse in fights we can cheese it lol because for anything where add damage is important we are usually running outlaw anyway. Sound about right?

rigid mango
#

Sure, I mean I wouldn't count out sin because of add damage

#

When you look at parsing for boss damage @ opu, sin has higher parsers than outlaw does

#

Outlaw's damage on opu is mostly just add damage normally using opal and using 1 wits to have your damage go through the roof each time there are adds out

#

that normally die quite quickly, meanwhile sin just takes the CP from FoK and dumps into boss damage, sorta depends at what rate your adds are dying and if you need the damage 🤷

keen elk
#

Yep I actually got moved onto opal and outlaw for our opu kill because add damage was an issue lol

rigid mango
#

Ah then yeah

#

That makes sense

keen elk
#

I generally play sin while learning the fights too unless it’s cut and dry outlaw>sin. And like I said, I’m only 3 weeks in so I’ve only seen these bosses in heroic once and mythic the other 2 weeks lol so still learning. SSx3 was amazing the first week or so because I could focus more on fight mechanics and not lose as much uptime damage lol

rigid mango
#

Yeah makes sense

#

I mean I think sin is generally better for the hardest bosses

#

i.e the last 3

keen elk
#

Hopefully we get to see those here in the coming weeks haha we will see. I really appreciate your time and conversation and insight my dude. This discord is just as helpful as it’s always been

rigid mango
#

Aye gl with getting there^^

rocky ruin
#

Would you guys take 405 Cepha with DD/TTK/OP against a 415 DD/NP/ EleWhirl?

rigid mango
#

Sim it

#

but no

#

The difference between the two is very small when both at 415

dark crag
#

If anyone still wonders about the 29k sim, i set all items to have a socket

#

With better azerite it would be a bit higher

hollow stone
#

You cant prove it

dark crag
#

The sockets are a lie

spice surge
#

Yeah, max sim possible atm is like 30k

hollow stone
#

😬

spice surge
#

But that requires, as you said, like full sockets

#

And "lurkers gift will be fairly easy to get at 425 since thats its baseline ilvl on mythic" that i said a few weeks ago

#

I kinda dont agree with that anymore 😄

not as far as i noticed, nah

unless elusiveness I take it?

but i couldnt tell you for sure

since i almost always play elusiveness in KR anyway

i hate not having cheat, but i guess that's even more of a reason to play elu 😦

marble hemlock

well, cheat is nice

but KR has so many bosses or even trash with DoT effects

that elusiveness is just amazing

#

all 4 bosses have a DoT you can get, although its avoidable on the last boss, and most trash has some form of DoT :p

#

yeah ive been playing elu recently

#

i feel so terrible when i die though

marble hemlock
#

dont

#

every othe class has one or multiple proper defensives

#

we just have immunities and take much more damage

#

whenever those immunities dont work, we're screwed

are bleeds snashotted? If I use a trinke that increases my agi or mastery will my bleed do the multiplier dmg for it's duration even after the trinket buff ends?

No

only haste w/ esang, subt/nightstalker empowerments are snapshotted

Quick question about pooling and not clipping EP. is there a certain energy range to pool to before using a finisher if there is no chance of fitting envenom into the last 1 sec of EP? Example; no EP, 5 cp, pool energy to X, then envenom, fit 2 mutilates into EP window, repeat?

#

*when running DD build

#

You can honestly just spam until TB is coming up and make sure you have enough energy to get in two to three Envenoms in the window.

There's a bunch of nuance when it comes to keep ENV up for as long as possible but you have to learn when to not try to clip EP, and when you should be pooling and not looking at clipping ENV.

#

Once Vendetta/Vanish comes up make sure you have enough energy to do whichever rotation inside the Master Assassin window you have lined up.

keen elk
#

Right on. I appreciate ya

#

I've seen the basic guides but is there a more in-depth guide that goes beyond your rotation?

#

SIM says I can do 23k ish but I end up with around 19-20. Figured I'm missing something beyond "keep dots up"

tropic ocean
#

sin rotation isnt really indepth

#

keep dots up, dont overwrite buffed garrotes get 2x-3x 4+ cp envenom in tb

hasty brook
#

Hm ok. I hit 99 once in the logs but at times it seems like even with high dps and not clipping I fall to the 60s range

tropic ocean
#

if you have a log of your fights use wowanalyzer.com it will tell u the major flaws in your rotation in that fight

#

and for logs, depending on encounter/tier playing good doesn't necessarly reflect in orange log

#

its dependant on your killtime as well and how you put yourself into the position to cleave/cheese

hasty brook
#

Okay that makes much more sense. I'll try to be of around wowanalyzer. Thanks.

Guys what is evasion working on? Only meele attacks?

#

And is that 30% on feint more worth this week for kr then cheat death?

distant lava
#

for KR elusiveness is always better

rigid mango
#

Kr and tos I'd take elusiveness every time

bronze kelp
#

evasion works not only on melee attacks @fallen bay

#

also the charge at KR 3rd boss, or sharknado in freehold e.g.

real bay
#

yeah, they are kinda melee attacks, not direct but physical

bronze kelp
#

does evasion work on eudoras shot?

cobalt gyro
#

yes

distant lava
#

yeah

rigid mango
#

Evasion is so nice on tyr fh and kr

#

Dodge 1st boss and eudora shot, and dodge bleed blade thingy from 3rd boss kr

#

i need reminding, what boss does eudora shot?

hey guys, im going to gear my rogue for mostly m+ with ma bois and just wanted to check if im going for the right setup. i saw that i should go for crit>mastery mostly, but im not sure about the traits. do i want 3x SS and 3x echoing blades in a perfect world or a different combination?

tropic ocean
#

you can pick 3x ss 3x eb

#

but also 2x ss 2x eb 2x ttk

#

or 1x ss 3x eb 2x ttk

#

any combination of those traits is fine

#

adapt it to your personal liking, e.g. you lack single target reduce eb increase ttk, you lack aoe, reduce ttk/ss increase eb

little crow
#

i see, thanks. i was trying to stalk some people on raider.io but had a hard time finding an assa rogue 😄

tropic ocean
#

raider.io is not the best way to see the traits they use since its not super regularly updated

#

incarnated basically plays assa only, for flawless hes playing outlaw too, but used to stream assa as well

#

(for general gameplay, traits, talents)

real bay
#

3x EB is def overkill for tyr

#

running with an outlaw and can keep up with him easily with 1x EB except some reapings which are easy anyway

#

I blast his ass with 6 garrotes on big groups

#

3x ss

little crow
#

playing mostly with a frost mage and a DH so dealing with reaping is not really a problem

drifting cosmos
#

then 3x SS is pretty solid for small/mid size cleave and ST boss dmg

#

personally i think 1 EB and 2 EB makes a noticeable difference

fallen bay
#

Wanted to ask about the pooling energy, how does it exactly work in rotation with example please cause I think I don't understand it properly and losing dps when trying to do it

burnt dome
#

Main point is to pool before TB so you can get 2 envenoms off
Pool to +-80% energy before envenoming as well, then do 2x mutilate (1x if crit to 4cp or 3cp + tb soon up) inside the Elaborate planning window then wait for the pool again

#

the 2nd sentence is outside of TB windows btw

fallen bay
#

So I build to 3 cp TB, envenom mutilate to 4cp, envenom and mutilate?

#

Right?

burnt dome
#

Thats your TB window yes

fallen bay
#

And should I refresh dots if they will fade during TB Window?

#

And hold TB longer

burnt dome
#

Holding TB is almost never worth unless for big cd's like Vendetta/Hero/2nd pot (and the only holding it a bit)

fallen bay
#

So I should refresh dots with pandemic during TB debuff?

burnt dome
#

I refresh if I know I'm not gonna get another envenom out, otherwise I delay the refresh - but that's purely what feels right to me, haven't simmed or researched that

fallen bay
#

Okok

lament dove
#

you should anticipate when TB comes off CD and refresh your dots before that, that's the tricky bit in assa's rotation

fallen bay
#

And every window I should do like that on bosses I guess

lament dove
#

if you are outside of TB window just take it easy and pool energy, don't rush to spam finishers, plan ahead

burnt dome
#

Usually mine automatically line up pretty well so has never really been a prob for me

fallen bay
#

And is that haste trinket from shrine worth to dungeons? Cause I see lot of movement and I don't usually use the full duration of it

burnt dome
#

It all really depends on what you want to get out of that trinket. If you want high Overall damage and you usually cant use the full duration, then no - harlans or spyglass is probably better. If you want some more deeps on bosses and dont really care about overall it could still really be worth it. Not saying you do - but focussing on overall damage isn't the way to go. Cater your azerites and trinkets to what your group needs

#

Does it need more boss dmg? More big AoE/reaping? or more pack damage? Or just prio target damage?

fallen bay
#

So might be worth switching it from darkshore boss trinket or motherload trinket?

#

For*

#

Don't have spyglass

burnt dome
#

Whats the darkshore one caled?

fallen bay
#

Not sure but it procs 500 crit

#

For 10 or 15 sec

lament dove
#

forest lord's razorleaf

burnt dome
#

Think it would be worth swapping to Boon yeah

#

Boon sims better than both of them on ST and MT. but if you feel like you barely use the boon's time cause of movement then the Forest sims 2nd best

real bay
#

dice spyglass or forest lord leaf all good , plume isn't bad either I hate gcb tbh unless you can just tunnel still

tropic ocean
#

gcb is really bad for m+

#

you're constant moving, it would be mostly worth for bosses, but even then only if you are sure you dont need to move doing duration

cobalt gyro
#

It's pretty hard to get value out of it in m+

#

If you have one, a plumage will be better

rigid mango
#

I think gcb is aight for harder tyr weeks tbh, since a lot of time is spent on bosses

#

But plumage is literally just "press this button for more damage"

spare shore
#

What should we aim for with Crafted gear Affix wise?

steep obsidian
#

those mechagon set rings look kinda interesting

#

although i guess its gonna be a grind to get the ones you want and also at a high ilvl

#

i know that

#

but im assuming it will have more then 370 ilvl

#

they are still interesting anyway

rigid mango
#

What would be the ilvl needed for it if it were to be out now?

#

Is it gonna be a grind to get it down in the first hand?

rigid mango
#

Hm yeah they look interesting

steep obsidian
#

so one tells you what you have to do to get proc other one gives you proc

rigid mango
#

Just hope they'll give competitive gear

steep obsidian
#

its all placeholders

#

im just talkinga bout the concept is all

#

there are healing combos and stuff

#

defensive ones

rigid mango
#

Yah

#

Doesn't matter if they drop garbo ilvl tho 🤷

steep obsidian
#

depends on how they balance the procs i guess

#

ilvl on rings is not huge

marble hemlock
steep obsidian
#

yah

#

i was just lookin at ptr is all

rigid mango
#

Myeh gonna be down to ilvl ig 🤷

steep obsidian
#

and thought it looked cool havent even read wowhed lately

rigid mango
#

I know ilvl doesn't matter super much, but still

marble hemlock
#

idk

#

depending on the icd on the shield

#

that one seems the strongest by far

#

or the heal one

steep obsidian
#

yeah

marble hemlock
#

running the heal one on every player, and stacking the uwunat tanktrinket on everyone too

#

might allow for some janky 4dps+1tank comps

steep obsidian
#

i guess youd want quite a few different sets for m+

#

for different affixes n shit

rigid mango
#

Dealing nature damage + 46k damage

steep obsidian
#

mabye a defensive set even

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rigid mango
#

Env + 46k Pog

marble hemlock
#

i mean

#

itll proc on icd basically

#

due to poisons and stuff

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

That too

marble hemlock
#

but im less excited about dps ones

rigid mango
#

Tb wont increase the damage right?

steep obsidian
#

numbers tuning will come and i guess they will put them on the vendor

marble hemlock
#

and more about ones that give more defensive capabilities to players

#

no

rigid mango
#

Sad

steep obsidian
#

but i found doing a set bonus that way interesting

rigid mango
#

Yeah def ones could be interesting, might be diff between 4/5 heal

#

If several peeps running those

marble hemlock
#

none of the assa multipliers are global ones

rigid mango
#

Myeh, idk like flavour items

#

CoS, mecha etc, if done correctly could be good fun

marble hemlock
#

its kinda weird tho

#

seeing how assa only increases rogue-skill damage

#

but sub dmg increases for the most part are global ones

tribal marlin
#

I'm not sure that sub dmg amp are increasing damage that don't come directly from player (like trinket, azerite etc...)

#

I mean not anymore

obsidian sierra
#

is tantrum in UR aoe effect

#

so falls under feint effect

#

or need to go elu

tropic ocean
#

should be aoe

spice surge
#

Yes you can feint it

#

@marble hemlock Sub damage amps are not really global

#

Or well, they don't apply to trinkets nor Azerite

marble hemlock
#

probably changed it from legion

#

since legion ones were

#

they mightve just redesigned the entire thing

spice surge
#

Yeah they changed it from legion

#

Afaik trinkets and general damage traits are not affected by any amps

manic igloo
#

what would be the ideal traits for pure ST (how many stacked etc)

tropic ocean
#

with current gear 3 dd 1np 1 bbi 1 ttk

#

(cuz thats the pieces with overwhelming power)

manic igloo
#

ty ty

wary ice
#

most cooldowns only affect the damage of things tagged with your spec/class now iirc

compact haven
#

sup boys? 3x DD or 2x DD+ 1x NP for ST?

spice surge
#

You can have 6 traits total, ideally you want 3x dd

compact haven
#

on my current gear i got this 3x dd but no other assa traits, wich are usefull for st... got the 415 engi goggles (haste buff picked), BoD stat buff on shoulders and dagger in the back on my chest in the second rows

spice surge
#

I'd recommend heading over to Raidbots.com and simming your character

compact haven
#

it says 3x DD

#

thats why i wanted to ask the pros over here 😉

If im not using any SS traits, do I take master assassin instead of subterfuge on st fights?
