Or spam fok, assuming you have echoing blades
4 ruptures as in that's always max, or 1 rupture on every target while spamming fok?
yeah if it's just trash i've just been spamming fok and pumping 2/3 CP ruptures onto everything
Dont put 2/3 cp ruptures
well you need 4 ruptures to sustain energy
is that because 5 CP puts out more dmg per tick?
and since fok with eb > rupture dmg
They do the same damage
you don't want to put more ruptures than the ones you need for energy
depends how long they live right? most reaping id put out 2/3 cps ruptures for sure
But there is no point wasting a global on a 2/3 one
in reaping you just rupture the high hp ones its not efficient to put out low cp ruptures, you build enough cp anyways
reaping is a good example for the scenario I'm asking about yep
and putting out 4/5cp ones gives you more time to spam fok
by the time your 4/5cp ruptures would expire reaping mostly is dead
You either rupture the big ones or you rupture the small ones to refund whenever they die
while with 2-3cp you need to redot
yeah but im talking about reaping... id happily triple garotte and put out 4 low cp ruptures for energy then just spam fok
Neither of those you want to use a 2/3 cp one, its just inefficient
theres no point to put out low cp rupture
but you want energy to spam fok right? im talking about reaping to be clear
"well you need 4 ruptures to sustain energy" -> what do you mean by this exactly?
or ones that are close to dead to refill energy
You need 4 bleeds up
what do the 4 bleeds up do?
venemous wounds
they refill your energy
anything more than 4 is redundant in that regard?
so if you dont put bleeds on reaping? how are you supposed to spam fok?
im so confused here 😂
Well no, more than 4 isnt completely reduntant, but its just that the more echoing blade traits you have the less you want to use any ability that isnt fok (on aoe)
yeah but you said not to put ruptures on reaping?
🤷
i see what you mean now
i still dont get why you wouldnt put out low cp ruptures on reaping though?
I think the only situation I don't put out as much ruptures is if reaping is pulled with boss and bl
because its less efficient
? if you put out a 3cp rupture and the mob dies inside that rupture dot (which reaping often will) i dont see how that inefficient
You get less energy back
ah okay
okay makes sense to me then 😃 thanks
Generally on reaping you put out 1-3 ruptures, depending on the mobs health (generally 1 on a low hp one, one on a mid hp and one on a high hp), and then you literally just spam fok for 10+ seconds straight without caring about overcapping cp
and use envenom every 4 sec !
Na
u buff all the poisons too
to be fair, im really liking sin in m+ right now, nice change from outlaw. Did almost 50k in freehold the other day
nice
yeah was very pleased after getting flamed beforehand for playing assassination rather than outlaw xD
is there a nicer way to see priority targets and such than default enemy plates + tab targetting?
That must've been some huge pulls
what details sprite is that? looks very clean
@dusk thistle I use plater and customized every thing
not really, was a 17 freehold ( granted it was last week with teeming fortified)
e.g. I put my augurs/confessors in atal different color
we couldnt pull too much cause tank would die xD
@tropic ocean nice, sounds handy!
yep he stays in too late everytime xD
kiting as warrior tank KAPPA
oh really I gotta check that yours looks so much cleaner than mine
and yeah in my key range 18~20 ppl often go like "OUTLAW???" and then cry when you're assa despite being top dps
😢
also got kicked here and there for not playing outlaw 🤷
^ yep i pretty much get that, although im just doing 17/18s atm with friends and nobody really cares, we cant pull big which is a shame... and when we do pull big my friend plays unholy and steals all the AOE xD
ppl just tend to underrate the value of assa, dps is nice, and the iron wire talent makes your garrotes literally cast immune 3 mobs for 4? sec and making them deal 15% les dmg
its huge
I'd rather have gouge though, most of the time
gouge and prey from between the eyes is just huge tho
I've never been kicked for being sin but maybe it's because if I'm joining a key where someone will kick, it's already a key I'm not progressing on
6 second silence and 8 seconds of damage reduction yeah, but in most cases gouge ( and the extra vanishes) are better utility
haters gonna hate
@dusk thistle I use Plater with an imported profile that highlights each mob depending on its category and the important casts to cut.
nameplate kai also has npc coloring
and it does not eat your cpu cycles like potato chips
Cant say ive ever been apart or seen a group kick a rogue just cuz they are assa, if they want to play assa 100% , alot of rogues swap between depending on dungeon and the strat of the dungeon from my experience
@vestal wren don't like nameplate kai style, but that's just a matter of taste. Elvui does npc coloring as well but been experiencing FPS drops on reapings, even with a high end PC
i changed them to look like kui
but that requires some lua edit
the standard coloring is awefull
Nameplate Kai ? Yeah really ugly
But feels like Plater is more customizable. Might be wrong
Been using Kui Nameplates for a while. They are ok for raiding but really not suited for M+
plater is quite popular for its additional features
configuration is a pia
performance is also not super good (as if ppl care)
i'd love to see your nameplatekai configuration, fuu
sth like this
i did not 100% change things to be like kui, mainly changed the coloring and some other minor things
that's clean af
nameplate kai you're using you said?
my plates are a fucking mess atm gonna need to try this
He held back
pffff
MOVING GOALPOSTS
typical outlaw brain
but nah, outlaw utility is pretty big still
#gougeforassa
It's outlow
dh not monk 🤔
#vanishutility for allspecs
#makeazerothgreatagain
DH for the assa and not the outlaw, favored
fedora tip
sin is nice tbh.
Did you bleed some?
Did you Fok a ton?
Did you get a fat PB in a trash pack while eating a sandwitch fokfok env fokfok env fokfok env fokfok
#bladefurryforassassination
remove echo limit from 5 targets to 10
pretty sure that would be broken AF
100%
i stopped reading after "remove echo"
Which is reasonable, i dont like my builders doing far more damage than my spenders
Id rather be able to cleave 3-7 really really well, than mongo on a 30 pull.
Can we please swap scent to vers. thx.
The fact that the optimal play is often to just smash fok and waste double digit amounts of combo points feels odd as hell
how is vers on SoB better than agi ?
scent to vers would be awesome from a defensive stance, and it would buff EB (as well as anything else_
agi is kinda limp these days.
Still fun to tab out ruptures an ramp dps.
prefer that to fokfokfokfokfokfokffokfokfokf
hoping blizzard will ever fix wow 
i think everyone has a diffrent perception on how the game should look like
so its hard to "fix" sth
i hope blizz nerfs EB and makes scent our go-to aoe trait :<
the fok spam is boring
Bring back the old 3/3/5 rotation, felt good and smooth!
or 3/5/5 maybe it was, so long ago cant remember
Do we have any ideas on what the best essences will be and how to combo them?
Perfect vision + 3x nothing personal seems pretty good
quick question: as assa am i able to solo orb in ToS?
any1 can solo orbs
yep you just throw it ahead of you
as a rogue you can sap the orb guardian by the orb and then blind the one near where the head is
allright,t hanks
@solar rose youre beautiful
@marble hemlock
should i take 2nd gutripper, unstable flames, or Heed my Call? (2xttk, 2xEB, 1xSS 1xNP) is my build
@hollow wraith bbi is better than 3rd NP near certainly
@elder gulch odds are unstable flames is best
405 😦
Think it might be why
Nah its mostly due to lurker
oh lurker makes np that much better?
Well, its a lot of mastery for every NP
ye obv
Which scales a lot better than plumage
ye makes sense
can you evade/cloak the coin shower in opulence?
Nope
ah damn
i feel like these people link chars with shit azerite on purpose just to show off their 425 lurkers...
Going to have to target roll that thing. Just too much mastery
meh it's only the best trinket in the game for assa
Pretty over gcb
plumage > gcb imo
I switch between em but ya def feels nice on the opener and easier to usr
If the cooldown reduction essence isnt the best one then its very likely we want this trinket even during aszhara
I mean I think it's genuinly the best trink in practice, bar lurkers
Stormglide Steps on mythic uu'nat yay or nay
They're fine, they're removed by the laser dot (which you shouldnt take any damage from anyway) and the aoes when he shrinks the room
What about last phase when i'm possibly getting leeched off in melee
does leech remove stacks?
Not being leeched of by others
But dont everybody just sack most of their leechers after a bit anyway?
🤷
I just avoid them we have so slow dps we end up having like 5+ leechers and it starts to hurt when they all stack on you . Lol
rather have someone with the debuff die than whole raid
Chaps, are there any rules for posting logs for some analysis? I'm not happy with where I am at the moment but suck at reading logs and could use some help
post for roast
Ok, well I've just rerolled to Rogue from Feral after 14 years. Been playing Outlaw in M+ so gear is still a bit crit-heavy/low haste
The Rasta kill I died at like 12% left so that's maybe not good to look at
But Uu'nat should be a decent example
It's Subeta, not Skidly
You would be essentially correct, I have no idea when I should be using it - I thought when bleeds had just been refreshed so it gets the most value?
Because if you use garrote or rupture afterwards, it will overwrite it
But I haven't played with it before so this was a learning experience
So what you're doing here in your opener is using 2 garrotes with 3x shrouded (why do you have 3 shrouded to begin with?) and then you exsang
Which speeds them up by 100%
And then you put a regular shitty ass garrote there instead, which means that the OP 3x shrouded one is completely gone
So instead of having garrote tick every 1 second and deal 13k you put up a garrote that ticks every 2 seconds and does 2.5k dmg
yeah, thats a good way for a grey/green parse
You need to let an exsanged bleed run out fully before refreshing it
You do this A LOT, which you should stop
Ok yeah I was totally not getting Exsang then
I thought it just dealt a bunch of damage equivalent to X% of your existing bleeds
it basically buffs current bleeds. so yay. then you over write. boo
it's a pretty simple rule, anything empowered by anything runs its course unless you're applying something of the same power or stronger
especially if you play feral
even though it's not technically snapshotting for rogue
it's the same premise, really
Yeah, with feral I just got used to snapshotting. Cheers guys
You shouldnt really be running exsang to begin with though. Swap your shroudeds to double dose
your opener on rastakhan is weird..
you garrote the 3 mobs and immediately vanish garrote them again
Our other rogue advised doing so for the max duration garrotte and he’s played rogue a lot longer than me
So I just kind of went along with it
a maximum length garrote is reapplied at 5.4 seconds or lower
Should I have let the first ones drop then vanish and re-apply?
not like.. 16 seconds
You want to reapply bleeds at pandemic
I would study the opener. then log that. when its better, come back.
Well seems like he stopped playing (or atleast reading about rogue) in october since they nerfed shrouded then
i still play shrouded on rastakhan
it's probably not good for my raid
but i do it
Well yeah, its good for aoe but not ST
bad 
Thanks very much 😃
if you think it'd help you there are weakauras that have glow or other shit on empowered bleeds to stop you being a dumb person that come with pandemic timers
since these logs you're basically playing with half of your traits disabled and no lvl90 talent
decent thing to have so you never go pepega
Definitely let exsang’d bleeds run it’s course before you reapply. In the opener the empowered garrote you get from vanishing should be instantly refreshed in subt to get max duration and then you let that fall before you refresh again
Ok, I think my biggest issue was being an idiot and not understanding Exsang
Also the heroic Council kill I was playing with no way to see my combo points due to a WA fuckup which didn’t help matters
And I’ll swap my SS traits to Double Dose - thought SS might be better for Rasta but as I was being sent downstairs due to low range numbers I guess DD would be better
yeah Ive stopped bring SS to rasta as always sent downstairs, but downstairs is the most fun.
I mean SS will give you better padding dmg, but tbh DD damage is just pumping it all into the actual boss
which is probs worth more
whats hat circled in blue. how i do remove it? GCD?
swing timer?
ooooh how do i remove, it may well be swing timer
was addon - Quartz
GCD
thankyou tho
I mean on rhasta phase 1 is the hardest healer phase. There's a good argument for "padding" p1
Are ideal raid traits 1xss 2xdd and 3xnp?
Then for m+ 1xss 2xdd and 3xeb?
Wanting to learn sin because I only know outlaw atm
i play outlaw there but id go 3xss 1np 1bbi 1dd
Bbi?
blightborne infusion
raid st you'll probably end up playing ma and not wanting an ss at all
in m+ dd and eb are basically directly conflicting traits and dd is a hard avoid
take anything else on the ring, basically
we are talking about rastakhan not raids in general
I meant just raid in general
just answering his general question
Swapping to 3x eb for trash is 200IQ
going afk for trash is peabrain iq but i do it anyway
not afking trash? notlikethis
i used to respec to outlaw but at this point i'm just over it
i like playing different specs on different bosses
and the switch between alliance/horde is so tilting cuz it removes my racial off bars
panda yiiiikes
Male or bust
So in m+ 3xEB 1xSS and 2xNP?
You dont really want NP either
no NP
np is less awful than dd, like you can actually use it at least
TTK or more SS
Its not as bad as DD, especially the first one, but most other things are better
but just think about a normal dungeon for you
i also dont like 3x EB but thats a personal preference
3xEB 3xSS viable?
definitely
yeah
Master poisioner work on NP?
Toxic blade is the same then?
No, tb increases it
They're worded differently
But yeah, tooltips in wow are generally scuffed
Nice
What level 15 and 100 talents are go to on sin?
Seems like EP and PB for m+ and raid
With vigor changing to DS inn m+
You do not change vigor to DS
You can basicly keep the same talents, with 1 exception
If your raid set has no shrouded trait then spec master assassin for ST
Kk
failed 6 rolls in a row for an EB helm >.<
Which helms have you got
not any good obv
Also while I don’t disagree with 2/2/2 I kinda disagree
If I had to run 1 setup for m+ for the rest of the tier I’d play 222
It's not minmaxed, it's not perfect, it's just simple and introductory
Sure, you want me to swap my name each week?
I'll do that
But if I had infinite choices I’d run some 321 of any of those traits in different dungeons
And 3 eb 3 ss if I just need to gigablast aoe
This week is definitely a 3tk week
But I’d probably play 2 eb
Cuz and start prio rather than end prio on packs
Cuz if you play 321 ttk ss eb you need a decent amount of coordination and sometimes you lack the power to finish off packs that are already even cleave imo
tbh
I think it's a really good set up this week
if it was similar shit on fort
I'd go 2 eb
Cuz with 2ss you refresh ep on cooldown and with 2 eb you extend envenom as the playstyle change
Yeah that’s fair
If I play 3tk with 2 ss I index heavily into mastery and I ask for huge pulls
I think 2 ttk 2 ss 1 eb 1 bbi
is the best
For general weeks
I think only for bolst/sang weeks and teem weeks I'd go diff
So I have tripple dd and only two ss - should I be going MA build in most cases since I don’t have three shrouded but I do have three dd
if u have
But if you play that setup why not just go 3SS 2eb 1 bbi drop all your haste and sit on vanish for on demand
For raid I mean
Yeah that’s fair
I think that mostly
Like if I go tripple dd I won’t have any ss
That’s okay just play ma
Having any ss means you just don’t play ma unless timings are really bad for subterfuge imo
so ttk is nice for my groups
Only stormwall is like that
Okay so if I have the option to go ss and sub hen I do that
Even if it means not playing any dd
Unless your guild is giga slow on boats having ss is a liability on p2
always want DD for raid, 3xDD MA usualy always sims higher ST
Yeh
it´'s what he has
It’s about what you have and specific timings on bosses
Unless you're going for niche high log pad situations on specific bosses
I can either go double ss and 1 dd or three dd and no ss or two dd and 1 ss
going as many DD as possible, atleast 1 Np
and filling out the rest
with whatever you got, is the best you can do probs
3 DD and no SS = you play ma
Right
S I M U R S E L F
Having a choice between ss and ma means you’re super ahead already
yes it is simple as simming
hes not asking boss specific, hes just asking what he should go, sim yourself first and then decide about each boss you want
for raids its 100% simming urself
No I know what sims higher ST
So you mean
I’d say it’s more of a problem of boss timings like I played 1 ss on mekkatorque because there’s like 3 tbs in every vendetta window when you play ma that he goes up and I find that annoying
Pure st ma sims higher for me
For fulltime cleave fights i go ss, for st stuff i go ma. Simple
you do know you can sim different amount of boss targets
But on stormwall having to delay vendetta is kinda depleted
since it's ST and MA is way better than sub + ss
since sub + ss is better for cleave
3DD with MA will be best for ST fights
It's as simple as that, cleave fights SS is really good
On jaina I had my best pulls playing subterfuge cuz that meant I could vendetta more naturally when the rings happened but after the hp nerf if I play subterfuge with our current dps I won’t get second vendetta at all on p1
Stuff like that
With 5% nerf this week, assa timings will be even more scuffed
Lucky me that my guild blew up so I don't have to deal w it
But I also notice some weird stuff like on jadefire there’s a lot of MA builds in top logs
When I woulda intuitively thought that’s a sub fight
i highly doubt there is a lot
Oh okay, I must be mistaken
jadefire benefits ss even more than regular 2 boss cleave f ights cause of multisided
yeh luhmi i think i just dump energy and vendetta when we run for ice ring
Okay that’s helpful I misrememebered
there might be some nutso 1 guy critting everything in an exactly 420min fight with ma or something but that'll be it
Yah like
if a person is running ma 3 dd and critting like a madman
their logs will be nutty
I mean that correction aligns with what I woulda thought
(assuming they're also good)
just crit more 4Head
^
I am the cloak soak for the ♿ people in first intermission
you wanna see a beauty of an opener, this is whats it called watching 2nd screen too much https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/343741346806497280/573620709499076608/unknown.png
When i cloak on ship, atleast 2 people get frozen left side
this was stormwall while trialing in new guild LUL
that's like
well got rank 9 stormwall week after
but this was mega pepega
my guild threw my rank 1
was 31.2k it would still be rank 1 right now
was 3 weeks ago
they missed a soak LOL
i was on like 29.5k and CDs coming up boss on 20%
and motherfucker
forgets to soak ire
i tilted
^
literally
i think i'd never actually been angry playing wow like that
like no depletes on big keys no wipes have ever actually made me mad
like that did haha
i had 50% crits on my envenoms LOL
its same on ghuun mythic during prog i had like 3 or 4 rank 1 pulls on >5%
but noooo
lets kill it on scuffed pull
dude my stormwall parse is literally 85
cuz that pull
i had to do some weird shit
with cloaks and soaks
and i got mc'd like 4 times
and of course
taht's the pull
we kill it
my 1st 2 stormwall kills were all grey logs cuz i just sacrifice my self to ire soak
then 98% and 99% when i dont need to omega
l0l i got lucky for that cuz other people were too helpful
but they didn't have shadowstep
so they got booped off l0l
oh theres cribStep meme
ill link it in a sec
https://clips.twitch.tv/HonestUglyWalrusKeepo @bleak spoke watch the rogue in ire
man step on stormwall is so strange
thats cribStep
Best is when you get mc but went in a safe position, nothing in your way but then melees run infront of you and place seaswell
oh LOL
moving 2 steps for swell 2 hard
i must leave now
is stormwall still fked when you shadowstep sirens actually
that shit was annoying
yeah you get ported weirdly
You need to step boss
like somewhere in the middle
maybe fix by 9.2
its there to reminds us of good old DfA days
you pop it and pray you dont end up in eye of azshara last boss pool or some shit
didn't play during legion
not sure if i should be sad or happy that i don't know what i'm missing

care what you say you will trigger some
Idk
VANILLA WAS THE BEST bois
ye start of legion definitely had its issues with legendaries
Rng for several months to try to get BiS legendary and never get
but man classes felt so fucking great when fully decked
and legendary swapping in m+ was so involving and made the gameplay so much deeper than it is now
and Legion was the peak APM time
now they just chose to slow it all down
😦
Idk I think most dungeons are super poorly designed
DeSiGnEd WiTh M+ iN mInD
gear changing in M+ would be fun now
mini bosses just dont work for m+
like all the dungeons with mini bosses are most avoided dungeons
imagine
being able to go
3 DD 2 NP 1 BBI
for every boss
and go 3 EB 3 SS for each big pack
and prio for everyother pack
it'd be insane
Yeah like
Even if you have to play subterfuge
It’s like actually less than 1% behind ma with many dds and nps
And multidotting on open with subterfuge is still a gain I think so probably better for 2t
I would love to be able to swap to something that gave me a shield for places like freehold
Or like the opulence trinket
Or some on use for damage reduction or shield for spit golds etc
you want to be able to adapt to the situation? blasphemy
what azerite are you running for SOTS this week, im torn
Is BBI really a BiS trait for sin?
Sure why not Crit is nice.
Usually class specific traits are top and crit isn't even top prio for sin unlike SP
Just seems weird to be a BiS
Crit is our highest Stat for m+ and if u run EB and TTK, it's even more worth
Ttk?
most classes, class specific traits are actually garbo, Asn is nice
Nah there's usually 1-2 traits above or near treacherous
Class specific
Sin just seems to have real options
Fair enough, it's pretty high on a few casters. Weird that it's not higher for outlaw and ret then
Unbound force looks damn strong on sin
there is something that give stacks passively
Ok poison application give stacks of Unbound forces
not sure if intended but it's completly broken
That an essence?
TTK = twist the knife
Pray for bbi
Ah ty
Despite beta testing. I assume essences will get nerfed heavily once live gets going and people figure shit out
33% uptime on a +100% crit buff
Probably
But it wont it live
hit*
I mean the fact it's procing on poison application, i'm not sure it's intended
wow, thats heavy OP
if doenst get nerfed before it hits live, Im done with hoping for blizz to even have employees that do balance stuff
that looks dope
It's aight.
Well outlaw can have 100% uptime on the buff since it procs on BF xD
Requires constant AoE though.
A world where outlaw is rolling out of RP
is the first boss in Underrot able to be pushed back? I know that grip works, but does engi belt work?
äh not the boss, the blood add
Wont hit live, keep kalm and pray for sub
yeah cant find the achiev when searching, dunno if they can see it on the ptr
besides Jaina, what other BoD bosses are a no-no to use Stormglide Steps on? Grong?
funny enough that the greatest essence is a PvP reward
Does Mekkatork robot thingy cancel the buff ?
Would you consider going full ST for 21 wm ?
wut?
why would you ?
you can go more into prio target dmg
with 1 eb 2 ss 3 ttk
okay, i assume full ST is 3dd 3np
that would be dumb, cause your trash dmg would be crap
at least one EB
always
especially on high trash dungeons like WM
on WM you are maybe 15 minutes on bosses
an the rest is trash fights. so you need dmg on trash
and with bolstering you want to have prio target dmg -> ttk is the choice
if you take 1 ss and 2 eb or the other way round, depends on you if u want more cleave or more aoe dmg
@tribal marlin
3 DD in m+ 
!essence
First research 8.2 Sin Essence notes Thank you Tisumi: https://tinyurl.com/y6ouut2o
we deplated because of a few fail but we killed council
having 1 EB isn't a very big loss tbh
not like the boss dies 20s slower
but on trash it's a big one
rather use a good st trinket than get rid of EB ?
all trait/talent decisions have an upside and a downside. usually the downside is small, and the upside is big, for any single choice. the more you move into pure aoe or pure st/cleave territory, the smaller the upside, but the bigger the downside
the opportunity cost just gets bigger and bigger the more you try to specialize
1-2EB are perfectly fine for aoe. you can go 3EB+HB to out-pad even outlaws, but the cost of having 3 non-ST viable traits and a talent is too high for most groups/dungeons/affixes
2 Eb 3 ss 1 bbi 
sim around 25k st in m+ gear , near 36k in slice
i wish i had the pieces to switch to what i want, but atm im stuck with 400 pieces on some builds, the only build with 415 peices i got is 3 eb 2 ttk 1 ss, which isnt that bad, but could get better stuff for tyra weeks
im in an argument with a guildie atm who is arguing that a slower weapon, assuming ilvl is the same, would only be a 5% dps difference
We know that you have to use daggers, but for the sake of argument
Cant use mutilate without 2 daggers
Abilities use dps in their calculations so wouldn’t matter assuming same dps
Removing the dagger requirement
my argument is that a faster weapon gains more energy, procs talents more often which results in more than a 5% difference
more enegry = more buttons
Why would you get more energy?
No one have sims for this in a bfa context so I think it'll be hard to find out
No, Combat potency procs are normalised
Also, close to all procs are rppm, so it doesnt matter how fast you hit since it Will only proc x times per minute anyway
Sword/Dagger/7 sided axe, its all the same
Combat potency in assassination !?
@native lynx TLDR: No you're not correct and better suited for #wow-general
Assassination doesn’t really benefit from one weapon type or another except that mutilate requires 2 daggers. Unless one ability just so happens to use weapon damage instead of dps but that shouldn’t be a thing anymore.
so weapon speed is useless
For assassin and outlaw yes
No kidding, I already mentioned that
And yeah what Richard says, this is all hypothetical anyway
I know that, I said that already
Also, close to all procs are rppm, so it doesnt matter how fast you hit since it Will only proc x times per minute anyway
@real bay atm since I reduced eb traits to get more ttk for bolstering I removed harlans and use spyglass+cos trinket (cos trinket giving really good st dps, as well as trash dps) (your healer will hate you though)
No way I use CoS trinket like ever in m+ :3
I don't understand why you remove EB and switch to spyglass, since crit is loosing value with the removal of EB no ? Sim will have the word but I think you should keep Harlan
i didn't remove eb
I just reduced it to put more ttk to trim priority mobs
and spyglass > in m+ still
for me its a good mix for this weeks affixes
Well @real bay imagine if I don't use the trinket, replacing it with like Plumage. I think the dps my healer can provide greatly compensate the difference between trinket right 😄 ?
Dunno might sim to be sure, for me I have socket on 415 dice so I won't replace it
Hello! Leveling my 1st wow rogue and I would like some opinions on the outlook on the state of rogue specs. I’ll mainly be running m+. With the outlaw azerite trait nerf and the 8.2 season affix is assassin looking to be the preferred m+ spec?
"Beguiling
Azshara's Emissaries are present throughout the dungeon."
It's unconfirmed of its exact interaction
As for if Sin > Outlaw for M+, thats 🔮 for now
Both will likely be more than fine
I heard it’s more st based, like a random mob getting a buff turning into a stronger version or something
Theres still going to be at least another month, if not more before release, so making definitive statements at this stage is just guess work
question in raids do we refresh our dots before swapping to a diff target or add?
yo so i heard sin was better for raiding heroic bod then outlaw is that true or no
yea qued up as sin for my chest got a dagger guna try to do the rotation and raid
@turbid zealot depends on the fight, what damage you need and if your dots would run out, if you attack target a and need to switch to target b, and dots on target a would run out before you are back at target a, refresh yes (for most dps)
ok ty
if its conclave for example, you won't benefit from multidotting both bosses
@true parcel i guess if theres one buffed mob due to affix, you will most likely kill him together with other trash so it won't matter if you are outlaw or sin (i mean in infested you didn't kill infested mob alone either, you cc'd 3-4 and then played them together)
@tropic ocean on conclave i try and just get ruptures up. my haste is too low so having that extra bit helps
well all the dmg done to the non killed boss is basically poofed to air
you can use kidney shot with kidney shot talent on raptors to gain some energy
(you will do more dps by just pooling/autoattacking, than dotting the non activate boss)
oh nice, okay ill give it a try

hey as an assisnation rogue on king rasta the adds in the begining do u fan of knives or do single target damage to the adds then king rasta for heroic bod
i garrote all 3, rupture seigebreaker, vendetta tb, get 3 envenoms off and rupture the other two and focus back on seigebreaker
vanish garrote on all 3 when 5 seconds left on timer
dam ur pro ill try to remember all that @sleek iron i use to only do mythic plus with outlaw spec but ill try to do what you said as assisnation spec
this is assuming you have at least two double dose traits
yea i have 3 double dose and 3 nothing personal
i think raidbots is broken
you wanna have double dose and nothing personal on the same azerite piece correct?
Well yes, but there are 3 rows of traits
Whats ideal crazy dps traits for Assassinatiion for M10+'s Is it still x3 EB and x3 SS?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5AGv1RnvEjwm4a3q7347C2 why the hell is it want me to use Treacherous Covenant over Nothing personal
is my azerite gear ok i just switched from outlaw to assination cuz i learned that assassination is for raiding and outlaw is for mythic plus
Because you already have one NP and no good on-use trinket (ie a badge/lurkers/plumage)
i should be useing all 3 reguardless
?
anthaz how come your damage is more then mine but were the same ilevel
You dont have a 2 min on-use trinket which you line up with NP; which is what makes np better
Lurkers buffs np by like 20%
dang ok
Also, the current ideal setup does not use 3x NP and 3x DD since there isnt a chest which has both those traits and overwhelming power
@sand gust Swap to master assassin instead of subterfuge since you have no SS, enchant haste or mastery instead of crit on your rings and try to get a on-use trinket
kk
And you should see a ST gain
kk
no i was just being a dumbass
ahhh
i would take np anyway since the difference is negligible at 100% tc uptime
ahhh yeah
and generally most fight lengths favour np anyway
i was just going off what bloodmallet told me and raidbots told me to go for a diffrent trait
bloodmallet is one generic template ran through simcraft
use it as a rough guide and no more
yeah
also on the dropamizer it even told me before i got mythic champs helm if i got the helm from the vender get both nothing personal and Double dose which is basicly the same helm just diffrent name
is it worth to stack echoing blade for mythic+?
Little better
Probably like 30-50 higher if you swap crit gems to haste, but i assume you use those for outlaw so its fine
Have SS builds surpassed DD again?
n o
:thumbs_up:
eleem wholy shit how did u know i had all that old gear i didnt know it was better
i will def wear that i just dont have premium raid bots so i couldnt do big sims
thank yo by the way 😃
hackerman
Well if i press "sim again" on the one you linked, it literally takes your previous /simc and pastes it into mine 😄
😉

First research 8.2 Sin Essence notes Thank you Tisumi: https://tinyurl.com/y6ouut2o
Wasn't 3dd 1np 1bbi 1ttk 3op the "meta" setup?
Hi does Shrouded Suffication trait stack ?
nothing personal too ?
dmg yes energy no
cuz i can get like 2 of each from items
is it worth to play Subterfuge with 3x SS at Opulence Myth? is the sim still bugged
there was something i remember that the sims are curious
right now i have 3 DD 2 NP and 1 TC. so i sholuld play still like that
How would you guys value unstable flames compared to heed my call in dungeons?
personally not a fan of random damage procs but they prob sim pretty close
Unstable is better in every scenario than heed
Heeds aoe is so abysmally small that its essentially a ST proc
depends if your raid has a reliable topaz or not i think bluehawk
i can imagine ss/np during the crit buff being pretty juicy
though how much of the difference it covers from normal builds i'm not supersure
okay thanks @cobalt pelican
if you're progressing it's probably best to play pure st since the majority of deaths and dumb shit happens before gems are in play anyway but after that i think playing for the topaz crit windows is the play
So ravenholdt.net doesn't say anything about energy pooling, yet wowhead's guide says I should energy pool. What do?
yeah we still progress at opu cause people are dumb 😄 playing full ST niow and might be dead at wednesday after ~100 pulls
@versed mica the wowhead guide is correct in that you should be energy pooling
@versed mica if you check what envenom and eloborate planning do you can figure pooling is a thing. especially when theres times you can pool without any downsides
I guess that makes sense right^^
it took my guild like 120 pulls on opulence and over 100 was just the rooms lmao
"Against a single target, with neither Vendetta nor Toxic Blade up, it is worth pooling to about 80% energy before using it. (envenom)"
What makes 80% so special tho?
theres nothing special about it
just a way to prevent wasting energy
if you pool to 99% you're likely to mess up sometimes right
lmao true
So essentially because of EP and envenom's buff, we want more energy to use more muts and get higher damage double dose procs?
deadly poison applications will deal instant dmg after the first one yeah
so you get more dmg that way too
even without EP and azerite it would still hold true
just less so
u ever scrap your 2nd cephalide to get enough to gamble another chest and then u get a 3rd ceph
^^ had the same with shoulders 😉
Same, but Raiment of the Blighted Tribe x 4
how trash is it to stack SS? i'd only be able to run 2SS/2NP/DD/x atm
Trash for anything entirely single target.
Does cloaking the orb of frost soak for m jaina stop the stacks from being added for the soak>
ive done that with my 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th cowl helm. i just want deadshot....
@warm harbor not sure if it does or not. Youre likely better off cloaking the siegebreaker or cloaking right before getting frozen at the end
With the 5% nerf to health not going to have an issue with getting frozen I don't think, but if I stop 3-4 stacks of CT that'll help the healers out a ton (thats the theory I suppose)

That WA has double CD number showing anyway > _>
Just scrub through the Rogue stuff looking at the pictures.
No idea.
Just looking at it without knowing anything about it, looks like you can just go through the Templates and get the stuff you want.
Then line it up.
FUCKINNOOBEJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS
here I am doing weird shit
and Noobe has numbers showing twice basically on purpose > _>
just lazy
Course.
Found it, if anyone cares https://wago.io/H1P2C4mim
yes i know its not the best 😦
i had two numbers on my was for a long time cause i use omnicc for everything but want custom function text on some auras
the only way i could figure out to not have double text was make a whitelist of literally everything for omnicc and i was too lazy
Just blacklist WA in OMNICC.
then i have to manually add text timers to everything
Did they change Jaina?
You used to be able to eat orbs with cloak in image phase, no?
yes?
It's not working anymore.
where you seeing this
I'm currently at M Jaina right now & I used to be able to eat them to clear the way. Same for a spell-bop
seems like a weird thing to change without posting notes?
do you have a gif or something
is it better to use a 405 DD NP or a 415 NP and twist the knife?
both have overwhelming power
if i go with 405 i will have 3 DD and if i go with 415 i will have 2 DD 2 NP so idk which one to choose
That should show it.
I just tried it a few more times to make sure.
I'm even walking into the orb fully.
Not just the outline, which normally would be the spot where it would eat the orb.
I think you see a portion of spell-bop not working either.
i use my cloak there to sit on jaina and get the interrupt...shouldn't have to clear shit
Not sure, when I cloak it doesnt affect you but dont recall it ever making the orb disapear
I think I’m taking damage from it too.
It just doesn’t seem right tbh.
Because hunters can turtle it & eat them up
& we where able to eat them last week.
just check from your log if you took dmg from it
it's working fine for me
Was it just my instance then? Because that clip shows me running through it fully & multiple times throughout the VOD
maybe visual problem?
I legit took my time to try to eat them. I’ll try more tomorrow I guess.
I’ll ask for a test wipe lmao
for the dmg part u can just check log
or have someone running into a soaked orb and see if he gets frozen
That's super strange.
Same for me yday, cloaked sprinted like 30 times nothing happened to orbs
Ok buddies 2 questions,
im using Shrouded Suffocation and im getting lost on the 2nd burst
im using the normal ( stealth > garrote, Rupture, garrote, vendetta , toxic blade, envenon ) rotation
then Vanish when garrote completely falls off, garrote garrote then normal rotation
the problem is
when the next vendetta comes out of CD i still have like 20 seconds on vanish
1 - Should i hold my Vendetta for the vanish combo?
2 - should i hold my vendetta for the Toxic Blade CD to come off as well?
it generally has like 15 seconds
Hold vendetta and line up with vanish assuming you won’t lose a vendetta cast later in the fight
forgive the bad english
Which is unlikely
and for toxic blade? should i hold for the 15 secs to come?
You’d have to hold vendetta and vanish for 15s?
If you don’t lose a cast of either in a fight then it’s not going to be a loss but that depends on kill timing
yes
its on the vanish CD tho
i wouldnt have to hold anything else
im trying to print my timers sec
You don’t need to have Tb up when you use vendetta either
Can use vendetta when Tb has 12s on cd and get all of Tb inside the window
hmm interesting
so wait 26 seconds untill vanish comes off cd
then start back with vanish, garrote envenon garrot then ( burst 1 rotation ) right?
Use that Tb in 5 secs, 20s later use vendetta/vanish and then in 5 secs you’ll have Tb up and vendetta is still out
aaah i see
Assuming you’re not going to lose a vendetta cast later
so ALWAYS hold vendetta for vanish
on the long term, like after 4 vanishes wouldnt i lose 1 vendetta in the fight?
Which means the kill happens at like 2:20, 4:20 etc
No
Because after first time you hold it lines up for everything after
So you only lose 26ish seconds
yeah true, since i wont be out of combat for a normal stealth
ill make this test
can i put a Shadowmeld for a extra stealth or nah?
For example if a boss dies at 4:20 you’d technically lose a cast
1st: 0:00 2nd: 2:25 ish 3rd 4:20
So you don’t get that third cast because you held for the 2nd
Whereas if you don’t hold on that case
1st: 0:00 2nd: 2:00 3rd: 4:00
Three vendettas
hmmm
