the question is incomplete 😄

crisp steppe
#

no reply in 3sec

marble hemlock
#

what do you want to sim

crisp steppe
#

🤔

torpid cradle
#

for m+

marble hemlock
#

for m+ you can either take the dungeon slice sim for more of a "jack of all trades" approach to gearing, or do a patchwerk sim with 6-8targets that lasts ~40-60seconds

torpid cradle
#

what is better' the patchwerk with 6-8 targets?

#

or the slice

crisp steppe
#

how do you do m+

#

do you always go pack by pack

#

or are you doing higher keys

marble hemlock
#

depends on whether you want to have gear thats decent in all situations

#

or specialize for st or aoe

dark crag
#

If in doubt go 222

torpid cradle
#

nah only for m+

marble hemlock
#

well, m+ has bosses, priodamage, aoe all in one

#

each situation calls for different stuff

#

and since gearswap isnt a thing, you gotta make a decision before you start the run

#

what is it exactly that you want to focus on

#

wanna be aoe gigablaster? do a patchwerk sim with multiple targets

#

wanna be blasting on bosses? do a regular 2 or 3min singletarget sim

#

wanna do decent but not amazing on all of them? do slice

#

each one of those is gonna give you different results

torpid cradle
#

ok thanks

marble hemlock
#

and then you gotta take a look at what you wanna do, and make an informed decision about what would be best for the situation at hand

torpid cradle
#

i really dont awnna reforge azerite

#

everytime

#

just to change from raid to m+

marble hemlock
#

mhye

#

problem is

#

the 2 best raid traits, np and dd

#

are kinda useless in m+ 😄

torpid cradle
#

no i meant, i wanna freforge only if i need to raid

rigid mango
#

🔥 garbage

torpid cradle
#

not every week affixes

zenith gust
#

wait, outlaw is better than assa in mythic BoD? wtf? i thought assa was better for raiding except for a couple bosses... and its the other way around. wtf.

marble hemlock
#

well, you can run 2ttk, 2eb, 2ss

#

and its gonna be pretty viable in all situations

#

on heavy aoe weeks you might want 3eb instead, or in dungeons like KR/Temple dropping 1EB might be worth, but if you stick to the 2/2/2 youre still gonna be absolutely fine in any situation

crisp steppe
#

@zenith gust both are fine. I think assa is considered better in BoD 😃

prisma carbon
#

Outlaw is better on jadefire/opulence. Other fights you're better off playing w/e you're more comfortable with. I'd say Mekka-Jaina are all better for sin tho.

marble hemlock
#

most people just cant stomach progressing as outlaw

crisp steppe
#

idk how it is with good traits but for me

#

grand melee was -1.2% dps

rigid mango
#

yeah

crisp steppe
#

thats pretty reasonable for 25% leech

rigid mango
#

u only save

#

RP

#

afaik

crisp steppe
#

and you decrease your odds of getting tilted by a lot

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

I think for outlaw, the RNG is so visable

#

that you'll always tilt from seeing bad rng

#

for assa, you won't always notice it

crisp steppe
#

the RNG is bigger than most other specs. I think current fire & frost mage compete and then nothing comes close

#

but its also more visible for sure

zenith gust
marble hemlock
#

outlaw and assa both have a fairly high dps variance on ST

rigid mango
#

You do realise

#

that most of the parses here

#

are just insane pad parses

marble hemlock
#

when you check up on outlaw parses

#

you gotta keep in mind that the top10-15

#

are either heavy pad on purpose

rigid mango
#

by people literally playing to parse as high as possible thanks to only padding

marble hemlock
#

or just giga-lucky 2x5roll parses

crisp steppe
#

if their name is like asian type text u discard it TBH

zenith gust
#

sorry what's pad? not that good on english

marble hemlock
#

doing useless damage

#

gotta love how my boy grimzyo is in there as sub 😄

rigid mango
#

Fucking legend

zenith gust
#

but... what is useless damage?

rigid mango
#

pad

spice surge
#

Why would you discard any of the asians lol

rigid mango
#

like

#

iceblockd dmg

#

on jaina

crisp steppe
#

they have a culture of padding

spice surge
#

?

crisp steppe
#

not neccesarily padding

#

but they are setting people up to succeed on parses

zenith gust
crisp steppe
#

@zenith gust you might want to use statistics instead of rankings. unless you are also at the level of getting rank1s

#

put the % to something you are usually at

#

going to be a better indicator for you if you're wondering what you might want to play

zenith gust
#

dont even know what is a percentile

crisp steppe
#

75 percentile would mean you're top 25%

#

if you have logs of your own somewhere you can see how you do

zenith gust
#

its like the score u get on logs? when u get a purple /orange log?

#

that number?

crisp steppe
#

yeah

zenith gust
#

ok thx

#

i usually use ranking to see what talents they're using and trinkets/traits... is that ok?

crisp steppe
#

you can check both for sure

#

it might be that on your skill/dmg levels the talents make less sense

#

because of kill times, difficulty of using talents etc

#

if you know the fight you can usually make sense of it

#

why they would use certain things

zenith gust
#

sadly i'm forced to play frost mage in my raid since... we have none did first 3 on assa, then had to switch, cuz SPs and Locks "needed" a buff....

crisp steppe
#

well fire is quite good on some bosses, so is arcane 😃

zenith gust
#

i used to love frost in legion, i dont really like it in BfA. used to play subttetly in legion too, loved it with that DfA. then in BfA after checking i didnt like frost the way it is, went back to my dear rogue, but rip sub, so tried assa and loved it, but like i'm forced to play outlul for M+ so... i'm hating this expansion xD

crisp steppe
#

assa is great in m +

#

but ur right

zenith gust
#

it fucking is

#

but people your know...

crisp steppe
#

I played mage in legion and started bfa as rogue

zenith gust
#

they want the cool outlul

crisp steppe
#

because I knew mage was getting gutted

#

its just less interesting to play

#

nothing much to it

#

so if you swap class u don't notice what it could've been as much

#

idk I haven't had ppl tell me to swap specs

#

they see ur a rogue and they invite you

zenith gust
#

in tyrannical weeks usually the dont complaint, but on fortified they usually do

#

that's my experience tho

#

but yeah..

crisp steppe
#

sure

#

assa aoe is great nothing to complain about honestly but yeah its not played in MDI

zenith gust
#

yeah, but even before mdi

#

wasnt really a problem before passing 15+s

#

but now doing 19s and 20s people do

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

reason why it's not played in mdi is outlaw is just better utlity and bettter burst aoe

#

just play around 2x BF

zenith gust
#

on fortified with 3xeb and 3xss i do almost like my outlaw frined, sometimes even more than him, overall i mean

crisp steppe
#

don't doubt it

#

pretty silly how much value people attach to increasing their r.io score

zenith gust
#

but... people and spec racism

#

xD

rigid mango
#

sin has higher dps ceiling

#

than outlaw

crisp steppe
#

I think

#

assa slow has pretty good value for pugs if you don't have a superior or similar slow in grp already

#

gives quite some safety to tanks

rigid mango
#

I mean

zenith gust
#

main problem with assa from my point of view, is some tanks chain-pulling

rigid mango
#

assa relies

#

on not chainpulling

#

outlaw loses nothing

#

pretty much

zenith gust
#

not letting you get into stealth

spice surge
#

Chain pulling is fine

#

If they do it properly

rigid mango
#

if u get restealths

crisp steppe
#

restealths are good but like

spice surge
#

If they do it with like 2 mobs that have 40% health then its fine

crisp steppe
#

compared to say an outlaw rogue

spice surge
#

If they do it with 1 mob that has 5%

#

Then its garbage

crisp steppe
#

outlaw doesn't have 100% uptime on bf right

#

so it would be in assassinations favor to chain pull I think

zenith gust
#

no

crisp steppe
#

as far as comparing just those 2 specs go

rigid mango
#

no but

#

assa wants restalths

crisp steppe
#

yeah

rigid mango
#

outlaw doesn't care

zenith gust
#

if you run 3xss you want that restealth

#

for sure

rigid mango
#

if u run any ss u want it

#

tbh

#

3 eb

#

u just spread 3 ss 2 rup go fast

#

into fok spam

#

not getting those 3 ss slows u down so badly

crisp steppe
#

yeah

zenith gust
#

plus

#

i dont really see the benefit of chainpulling

#

take both packs, and if you cant, the fucking wait 1 second

#

then*

crisp steppe
#

context matters yeah

#

often you'd want to healer to dip out of combat for asec too

visual quartz
#

yeah, warr tanks seems to be notorious for that, pull next pack when last a is sub 25%

#

add*

crisp steppe
#

charge and leap 🤔

#

yeah its no good

#

like pulling that pack earlier does virtually nothing

#

since its just them dpsing

zenith gust
#

or just pull them together

tiny finch
#

i think i saw 1 freehold run with 1 ass rogue

#

cant remember the team unfortunately

rigid mango
#

There have been a few

tiny finch
#

i miss Acrobatic Strikes on ass though, it would be great

rigid mango
#

Yeah obv

tiny finch
#

got used to that range

rigid mango
#

It's honestly the biggest QoL in outlaw

#

there is

zenith gust
#

QoL?

crisp steppe
#

im happy assassination doesn't have it

#

adds some skill to multidotting

#

even tho there isn't that much of it with EB atm

visual quartz
#

makes sense we dont, daggers are small, swords are big

tiny finch
#

naah its just annoyng

#

haha

crisp steppe
#

having a positioning requirement makes it more interesting imo

#

once you have your dots setup u are kinda like outlaw tho

#

yeah you miss out on some autoattacks but its aigth

tiny finch
#

QoL - Quality of Life

#

i tried ass AoE spec, its very fun

#

should i just dot 3 - 4 targets with garrote ( shrouded suffocation trait on ) then Rupture to get the buff up?

#

is it worth to keep garroting the adds?

#

after the opener i mean

spice surge
#

You can only dot 3 with subterfuge

crisp steppe
#

for AoE no

spice surge
#

Its not worth applying outside of subterfuge in aoe sitautions

visual quartz
#

well 4 but not empowered on the 4th

crisp steppe
#

rupture is more energy than garrote

trim forge
#

Acrobatic strikes is super awesome. I always feel too close when I sin.

tiny finch
#

and the 10% dmg buff

crisp steppe
#

you just want energy to spam FoK with the echoing blades traits

tiny finch
#

i do fan of knifes 3 times then rupture a add

#

Elaborate planning, thats the name

zenith gust
#

by the way guys, on fortified and reapings, is it worth it to use CT? or better to use HB all the way?

crisp steppe
#

idk just 3* garrote, rupture, fok

tiny finch
#

after the rupture, since its a finisher i get EB then yolo

crisp steppe
#

just play poison bomb @zenith gust

#

I don't think elaborate planning is worth playing around in AoE. spamming more FoK is going to be more damage

#

unless the pack is gonna last

#

to the point you would have to start reapplying ur dots anyway

zenith gust
#

yeah but on m+ you end up needing elaborate planning for bossses right?

crisp steppe
#

yeah you use the talent

#

but if your goal is to do pure aoe dmg

#

once you have your energy regen setup from bleeds

#

you spam fan of knives

#

you don't use a finisher every 4 seconds to keep the buff up

zenith gust
#

and about poison bomb i take it on tyrannical, but on fortified i usually run HB. on season 1 i was using CT tho, that's why i asked

rigid mango
#

Pb > hb

crisp steppe
#

I haven't tried out HB myself but theres some rogues here that have experimented and done some maths and HB wouldn't win out in overall damage, and especially not in useful damage

tiny finch
#

and crimson tempest?

zenith gust
#

pb is kinda rng... and sometimes it doesnt proc or procs at the wrong time, while you usually get the full damage from CT and HB

crisp steppe
#

you can try scrolling up a fair bit or search for posts from seliathan

zenith gust
#

in my opinion

tiny finch
#

what do you guys think about it?

#

Fun wise, and dps wise

crisp steppe
#

I like crimson tempest but its not good

tiny finch
#

ah damn

crisp steppe
#

I haven't done the math on it to see whether it does more dmg than a single fan of knives

#

but you also lose poison bomb

#

its just that echoing blades is so strong

rigid mango
#

if u look through earlier

#

we had this convo already

crisp steppe
#

yeah

rigid mango
#

pb > hb

#

ct is bad

#

Tadaa

zenith gust
#

even with 3xeb?

rigid mango
#

yes

crisp steppe
#

eb does nothing for hb

#

eb does nothing for ct

rigid mango
#

Eb does

#

for hb

#

wdym?

#

eb increases fok dmg

crisp steppe
#

yeah tiny bit

rigid mango
#

yeah

crisp steppe
#

ur right mb

rigid mango
#

so it tives

civic palm
#

Not enough, which is the point.

zenith gust
#

why is CT so bad? because of being useless on ST? or why?

rigid mango
#

It's not worth using

#

when u can spam fok

#

it doesn't give energy reg

#

shit doesn't survive full bleed

#

etc etc

spice surge
#

I mean, it does slightly more damage than fok if you count the full dot (and well, assuming you have 3 echoing, otherwise ct does more)

zenith gust
#

the amount of PB damage on the tooltip is what is applied to EACH mob?

spice surge
#

yes, if they're in range of the proc

Poison bomb would be cooler if the prof was an active you could bank

Does a subterfuge empowered garrote WA have to be a custom code?

civic palm
#

Yep.

#

Any resource where i could find it?

A WA that does that?

#

or what?

steep basin
#

Just wanted to find the code somewhere so I could make my own WA

But i guess its all different if custom

civic palm

Yeah the Garrote Empowerment WA in my stuff does.

steep basin
#

civic palm

and I haven't found something better to replace it with.

stone mesa
#

should i hold toxic blade a couple of seconds for vend?

#

with 3 x nothing personal

visual quartz
#

think its more vice versa, but like 1-5 secs im sure is find, anymore and your wasting casts and should hold vanish/vend for tb cd

Is there a trick to using the CoS trinket? I got lucky and ended up with a 410 socketed one. The dps is great even compared to plumage but the damage debuff actually hurts a bit in higher stacks

empty tide
#

i mean, if you're raiding you should be able to use the 30 s without any big problems, even on fights like mekka and jaina

#

not a major problem for healers

strange python
#

it cant be normal, that i must use evasion and crimson vail if i attack two mobs :S

bleak spoke
#

I mean we’re not very tanky

#

We just kill stuff very fast

strange python
#

yea ok but i leveld earlier a druid without heal and i dont have so much problem as moonkin

bleak spoke
#

Are you leveling?

strange python
#

yes lvl 119

bleak spoke
#

Well yeah cuz from range

#

You can talent into internal bleeding and kidney becomes your highest damage finisher

#

So you put your dots on get max cp and kidney

#

Or pull a bunch and kite them with fan of knives with crippling poison slow

strange python
#

that is atm my character

bleak spoke
#

Can have both crippling and deadly poison on at the same time

#

I’d recommend master poisoner if you pulled a bunch and kites though

strange python
#

i think about that talent too

bleak spoke
#

EP is only better if you’re taking advantage of it

@rigid mango I guess this week in keys > 10 ct wont be bad

@spice surge if you're just spamming fok in trash, wouldn't master poisoner > eb

@tropic ocean Figure out the CP numbers?

Without custom LUA to display another output you will have to have the number at the left or right side if it's a bar like you mentioned.

Oh no those bars mean you will probably have to just go through the templates and make a Text aura that tracks the CP Resource.

then create a weakaura for the numbers

Ok thx:)

and crazy trinkets probably

opal meadow
#

my trinkets are kinda okay

civic palm
#

and yeah a ton of sockets.

#

a 425 Gift

#

etc.

harsh sphinx
#

tried MA and it was only a smidge higher for you. seems like it should be higher

civic palm
#

Also 2xSS > _>

opal meadow
#

MA with SS seems bad

opal meadow
#

yeah i just realized i have the wrong chest on

civic palm
#

mmm

opal meadow
#

i think lack of 425 pieces is what's holding me back

#

420 weap with lurkers tho

#

idk, the power of sockets is too strong

opal meadow
#

yeah i just got the lurkers, was hoping it'd sim higher than galecallers but it's not by much

#

but galecallers sucks in game so its fine

harsh sphinx
#

i still use it but it can def be rage inducing

meager nebula
#

your neck isn't high enough for the extra 5 ilvls on your chest and shoulders

which gives a decent boost

I have the chest one now

is it showing as 415 still?

a lot of people have the zuldazar set as well

on that sim yeah

Probably 27k with MA

er

the 2SS build you linked prob slams on like grong/jadefire king

27k with 420 chest

#

yeah. i was using it for CoS first boss

#

are those shoulders okay for sin? they don't seem that great

opal meadow

Hi Everyone, I have a quick question. Before I ask it, let me post my sim.

#

In M+ what should my rotation be when there are 3+ mobs with the traits I am running?

#

nevermind, I should have checked the guide first lol

visual quartz
#

the DD shouldnt be being used

#

1DD and 1EB makes you kinda want to both mut and FoK, just hurting yourself

fading wigeon
#

oh

#

what should i change the dd to?

#

I have every piece of azerite imaginable lol

strange python
#

This may be incorrect knowledge, but personally I run 3x EB and 3x SS. In AoE circumstances I put enough dots up to sustain my energy bar (typically 3x garrote and 3x rupture) then spam FoK until I need to refresh dots or too many mobs die to sustain my energy

#

If the azerite exists for it (probably does), I bet 3xEB, 2x SS, and 1 NP would be really good

#

I mainly roll with the aforementioned traits because I'm still collecting 415 azerite

meager nebula
visual quartz
#

yeah I run 3xSS 2xEB and 1xTTK, feels pretty good for aoe and solid on bosses

grizzled mist
#

i havent played since Legion, do i still want to hold off using Envenom until the Elaborate Planning buff expires?

bleak spoke
#

All variations of ss ttk and eb are good, except I guess 3 ttk 3 eb

#

That’s a little troll I guess

#

They’re also good for different reasons which is kinda cool

#

@strange python @meager nebula @visual quartz thank you!

Ok bought some azerite pieces and got lucky.

@strange python never take NP for m+, it's hot garbage.

solar bramble
#

curious about the ruby on opulence. does every sin dot tick count towards a ruby? or is it strictly casts (also does a double hit on mutilate give 2 stacks)

rigid mango
#

Casts

solar bramble
#

does mutilate count as 2 individual casts?

#

or one

rigid mango
#

I mean It can only be applied once a second

#

so it doesn't matter

solar bramble
#

and it fades if not hit for 5 seconds right?

rigid mango
#

I can't remembe whatever the number is, but yeah

solar bramble
#

so make sure to poison knife throw as your kiting out to drop gold

#

so the stacks dont' fall off

rigid mango
#

if no one hits it for a certain amount of time, it drops and that can be horrible

#

I mean

#

Are you doing mythic or heroic?

solar bramble
#

heroic

rigid mango
#

Yeah then you should have 2x rubies anyways

#

One on either side

solar bramble
#

the stack apply to the boss or the player?

rigid mango
#

Boss?

#

It's not an individual increase for YOUR damage

solar bramble
#

k, wasn't sure (usually run opal and go outlaw for that fight, so just some calrity)

rigid mango
#

it's the entire raids' damage

#

So you as a person lose out on a fair bit of damage

solar bramble
#

then i likely won't use the ruby then. since i'm usually the highest dps of my group. and instead give it to someone else

#

or at least top 2-3

rigid mango
#

You should rly be running 2x rubies

#

one on either side

#

mininmum

#

if you're dropping stacks often, add a 3rd one

solar bramble
#

we currently have 1 per side

rigid mango
#

Yeah then that should be fine

solar bramble
#

it hasn't dropped on the boss yet, but i'm not the one using it so just curious

rigid mango
#

Then you should be fine 😄

solar bramble
#

somewhat on topic. does bm's kill command also provide a stack (you may not know this one). if so then having one hunter with it would be very optimal

rigid mango
#

I believe BM hunters' pets used to apply it

#

Not sure about anymore

solar bramble
#

that way even if they gotta kite away, they will still be applying stacks

rigid mango
#

They're still good, since they can nearly always shoot the boss

#

Regardless of movement

solar bramble
#

ya if kill command/pet also applies then their good. if not then their a decent s ourcee to maintain stacks but wont apply them fast. since they only cobra every few seconds. and a 1 second gcd wouldn't build up very quickly

#

auto attacks also apply it though so i guess that'd count

rigid mango
#

like I said

#

It's hardcapped

#

to 1 stack per second

solar bramble
#

at 1 per second ya

rigid mango
#

So doesn't matter if you have an arms warrior beating his head into the keyboard

#

he can only apply 1 stack

solar bramble
#

ya. i was thinking hunter not for rapid application but to maintain stacks and ensure they 100% never fall off. even if a target gets gold

rigid mango
#

Thing is, another class should be able to make up

#

Since you should always be two

solar bramble
#

i'll probably stick to opal. i use it mostly for AoE burst on adds with outlaw most the time. but even on sin it may be useful. i'll consider taking a couple FoK traits since the AoE phase is what needs the most dmg

#

and allow someone else to run ruby

rigid mango
#

It's nto good to take EB

#

You can still do really good damage as sin on that phase

solar bramble
#

ik my ST suffers pretty heftily. it'd be strictly for the add phase

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

but most of that is just paddmg

#

if u wanna pad there

#

go outlaw

#

their burst aoe is lierally their strength

solar bramble
#

lol, my outlaw atm has an 86% parse on that fight despite not knowing the class very well

#

strictly because of the 2 add phases

rigid mango
#

Yeah and I can bet that you either did more or were very close to my 100% parse on opu

#

so

solar bramble
#

my ST on outlaw is what i'm particularly not a fan of. i generally only pull him out on fights with substantial AoE phases. i only got that parse due to partial luck. i did several rerolls just before add phase to fish for a good buff combination. ended up with broadside + crit on the 2nd phase under lust . . . sooo . . . rng happened to favor me lol

#

so adjusting to sin there

#

is what i'll probably do

rigid mango
#

Just play it for

#

JFM, opu and rasta

#

Those three are highly outlaw favoured

rotund mural
#

Hello, can anyone tell me basic talents for m+ for someone who is new to assass? And no switch to outlaw jokes plz 😃

rigid mango
#

Rest of the fights are even

#

@rotund mural I'd bet it's in the pins my dude

solar bramble
#

sin talents for m+ . . . inb4someone says @pins

#

dang to slow

rigid mango
#

WEll

#

It's like this discord has a website attached to it

solar bramble
#

but ya for m+ i run 2/2/1/2/2/2/1

rotund mural
#

thanks @solar bramble i appreciate it x)

solar bramble
#

occasionally swapping to CT at really annoying fort weeks

rigid mango
#

CT 🤢

solar bramble
#

lol right

rigid mango
#

Just go TB and PB each week

#

never think

solar bramble
#

i swap to CT since i odly enjoy the playstyle. so if it's something i can get away with i'll use it on occasion

rigid mango
solar bramble
#

i gotta get more comfy at using outlaw lol

rigid mango
#

you can swap first row if you are going full aoe blast and never use finishers

#

and you swap cheat -> elusive for ToS/Kr

#

imo

solar bramble
#

lol the rapid FoK spam into massive poison reapplications lol

rigid mango
#

I mean it'sm just that

#

if you're going for example

#

3 EB 3 SS, which I find bad

#

You won't really be using EP that much

#

After first applications of ruptures

tropic ocean
#

for opulence ruby outlaw/dh/warriors are good

rigid mango
#

just spamming fok

tropic ocean
#

simply due to apm

rigid mango
#

So if you're not intending on using finishers, no reason to take EP

rotund mural
#

i have 1 ss and 1 eb, rest are nothing personal and double dose

rigid mango
#

if your pulls allow that

solar bramble
#

my m+ setup is 3ss/1eb/1ttk/1np (tis what i sim better with. few gear options atm)

rigid mango
#

You never want DD/NP wulf

#

It's truly hot garbage

solar bramble
#

wulf yours is better for raids than m+

rigid mango
#

Like

#

DD is one of the worst m+ traits there is

solar bramble
#

dd is really bad for m+ with how much of your sources come from FoK

tropic ocean
#

@solar bramble you should remove np/reduce ss and take more eb

rigid mango
#

Since with DD traits

#

You want to Fok at 5 targets+

#

with eb traits

#

you want to fok at 2 targets+

#

they counteract eachother

rotund mural
#

damn gotta look at all these shortcuts of azerite names, don't know them all yet hehe

rigid mango
#

And ends up with DD and Np doing barely any damage

#

Double dose

#

echoing blades

#

nothing personal

solar bramble
#

it's a universal setup @tropic ocean that i just use in all situations. since i'm limited on azerite gear options at the 400 lvl (only 1 415). so i don't have the luxory of consistently swapping for raid and m+

rigid mango
#

fok = fan of knives

rotund mural
#

aha

tropic ocean
#

400 eb will outperform 415 non eb

#

I guess even 385 eb

rigid mango
#

Generally

tropic ocean
#

especially in this week with buffed trash

rigid mango
#

The ST traits aren't good

#

For m+

#

ocmpared to outlaw

#

Which is why it's so easy to gear outlaw

solar bramble
#

well outlaw ST traits = AoE dmg traits lol

rigid mango
#

Exactly

tropic ocean
#

for me personally removing 1eb in heavy trash dungeons usually results in 5-6k less dps overall

rigid mango
#

just go 5 ST and 1 wits

#

bang

tropic ocean
#

just go

rotund mural
#

besides echoing blades and shrouded suffication, what would you recommend as well for m+?

tropic ocean
#

anything and 1 wits

#

and bam

#

lol 😄

#

@rotund mural twist the knife

rigid mango
#

^

#

What ausgelebt said

tropic ocean
#

any eb/ss/ttk is fine or if you dont have ttk

solar bramble
#

my 415 is my EB + SS trait. sh oulders are ttk + SS, and helm is SS + np. the only helm option i have with eB is an EB + TTK. h owever that's currently my outlaws helm due to deadshot + ace

rigid mango
#

Blightborne is good too

tropic ocean
#

ss/eb only is fine too (lacking some prio)

rigid mango
#

(if you have goraks)

rotund mural
#

oh nice ihave a lot of twist the knife

tropic ocean
#

@solar bramble and you dont wanna reforge? it will pump your dps (sky is the limit)

rigid mango
#

Like

#

if u don't do it often

#

it wont cost you more than max 100g a week or smth

#

It's not a lot

rotund mural
#

yeah i just got burnt out of outlaw a lil bit, sorry xD

tropic ocean
#

personally I just use lower pieces

rotund mural
#

wanna play assassin worgen 😛

tropic ocean
#

I use this atm instead of 420 helm cuz its so much stronger in m+

solar bramble
#

i'm only doing like 13-15's atm and my dmg is more than high enough currently. . while i could push it and resepec it all the time. i do it so often that it would end up very pricy quite quickly

rotund mural
#

well thank you all so much for this info, i will use it wisely ^^, ty all again!

tropic ocean
#

when in doubt > press fok

solar bramble
#

i could switch from ss + np to ss + ttk. but switch from overwhelimg power to gutripper.whirl

distant lava
#

np

#

sucks

#

in m+

rigid mango
#

what dj said

#

@distant lava 👋

solar bramble
#

i'd have 3ss, 2ttk, 1eb in that helm swap

rigid mango
#

OP is still good for m+

#

That set up is a far bit better

#

^^

#

You want to get rid of all haste, and get OP's instead to make up for it

tropic ocean
#

if you raid you can try to get conclave chest

#

which is good too with eb ss

#

rastakhan shoulder good too

solar bramble
#

ya i have too much haste right now for m+ lol.

#

gotta switch it out for some mastery

#

or more crit (28% atm)

tropic ocean
#

def more crit

rigid mango
#

Just aim for ~35%

#

crit

solar bramble
#

but that'll be hard to do. i have crit on like every piece i have lol

rigid mango
#

and after that pour everything into mastery

tropic ocean
#

i currenty sit at 30% crit 44% mastery unbuffed

#

and I want more crit

rigid mango
#

I'm at like

#

35% crit with 39% mast?

solar bramble
#

1 ring, and my back. are the only 2 pieces without crit for me

tropic ocean
#

yeah but theres good and bad pieces

solar bramble
#

whats your ilvl? i'm sitting at 405

tropic ocean
#

like you want high crit low mastery combo

rigid mango
#

415 equipped I think

tropic ocean
#

on literally every piece

solar bramble
#

ya, if i had them available i'd make those swaps

tropic ocean
#

i still have some pieces with low crit high mastery gotat switch em

rigid mango
#

I'd say 35% crit

solar bramble
#

atm it's mostly crit/haste double stats

rigid mango
#

After that

#

just go full mast

tropic ocean
#

crit just has such a high value with eb

solar bramble
#

i'm at 28% crit, 19% haste, 28% mast which is way to mujch haste

rigid mango
#

Ye

tropic ocean
#

yeah

rigid mango
#

I'm at like

#

6% haste

tropic ocean
#

you can compensate some by using boralus trinket

rigid mango
#

I think

tropic ocean
#

and use mastery and crit weapon enchant

solar bramble
#

lol i wouldn't go under 15% haste. even if it's a dmg gain. cause comfort

tropic ocean
#

?

solar bramble
#

well probably under 10

tropic ocean
#

im at 7% haste

#

and want less 😄

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

just go

#

as low as you can

tropic ocean
#

in m+ you basically don't starve energy

rigid mango
#

and get as many

#

op triats

#

and 1 haste ench on weap

#

to make up for low haste on bosses

solar bramble
#

well ya you have ruptures out giving you so much energy haste isn't an issue. it's only on bosses that it's useful

rigid mango
#

And there u go

tropic ocean
#

yeah but when you go higher

#

and affixes allow it you'll pull trash to boss

#

or at least reaping

ET you'll always be told to go to the pins if it's a common question. they'll generally be answered there

rigid mango
#

😦

#

Yeah I mean ravenholdt guide will tell you a bunch

empty ravine
#

i know

rigid mango
#

Just come back when you have questions regarding the guide 😄

empty ravine
#

i guess my question specifically

#

is for azerite traits

#

when you have master assasination

#

youd get double dose

rigid mango
#

If you have any SS traits

empty ravine
#

over garrote trait

rigid mango
#

(shrouded suff)

#

You go subterfuge

#

Any number, at all

empty ravine
#

oh

rigid mango
#

if you don't, you go MA

solar bramble
#

1+ ss = subterfuge | no ss = MA

empty ravine
#

oh so the subterefuge is better?

#

if you have the traits

solar bramble
#

MA is a mostly ST boss fight setup if memory serves me. with mostly double dose and np

#

suberrfuge with shrouded in m+. or even raid fights if you have shrouded

rigid mango
#

It depends on the boss

#

Saying raid wise here

solar bramble
#

subtefuge just loses a massive amount of value without shrouded.

rigid mango
#

MA set ups are better for the last 3

#

For Sub + SS to be better

#

You need to get off 2-3 empowered garrote per vanish use

#

(and opener ofc)

#

So for fights like mekka

empty ravine
#

well i use sin for raids

rigid mango
#

where you can't, MA is hjust better

empty ravine
#

and outlaw for m+

#

since i have 2 sets of azerite gear

#

pretty much best azerite gear for both

rigid mango
#

So what's yours etup for sin, for raiding?

empty ravine
#

subterfuge

solar bramble
#

i wish i had better outlaw traits :(. think i'm in maybe 1 or 2 deadshots lol

#

sub + what?

empty ravine
#

open with 2-3 garrote

solar bramble
#

what azerites

rigid mango
#

Ye what's your azerite ^^

empty ravine
#

i have 3 nothing personal 2 ss 1 dd

solar bramble
#

with shrouded open is garrote > rupture > garrote

rigid mango
solar bramble
#

with tthat it's 100% subterfuge

rigid mango
#

It's good for the first 6 bosses

empty ravine
#

ya but i could get azerite trait

rigid mango
#

but not having 3 DD for the last 3 is sorta bad

solar bramble
#

MA is useful with 3 DD/np and no shrouded suffocation

empty ravine
#

i should say i could try for better azerite gear

#

and if master sin is better then i can respec my gear to have 2+ dd

rigid mango
#

Mekka chest

#

and 1st boss helm

#

are good for MA build

#

Same for JFM shoulders iirc

solar bramble
#

i love my first boss helm. i'm working to get mekka (heroic)

empty ravine
#

ya i got first boss helm

#

was nice

#

btw the boots from uutar

rigid mango
#

Got goraks so no use fo JFM shoulders

#

They're good

#

if the fight allows it

empty ravine
#

are they better than just boots with stats

#

just got the boots 410ilvl

rigid mango
#

If the fight allows it, yes.

empty ravine
#

what about the pants

rigid mango
#

mediocre iirc

empty ravine
#

i use them for sin

solar bramble
#

my current chest is raiment of the blighted tribe at 415. with only gonk outrunner as my 400 option which is bad lol

empty ravine
#

i have 415ilvl pants

#

with haste and mastery

#

and 405 coc pants

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

sims'll tell you

empty ravine
#

i use 405 pants for sin

rigid mango
#

🤷

empty ravine
#

ya

#

i know

#

:p

solar bramble
#

ya idk about that for sin. for my monk a 10 ilvl loss still favored the CoS leggings

empty ravine
#

i still need daggers above 400ilvl :c

solar bramble
#

i only have 3 400's 😦 . . . . but ya. on high m+ keys do you get multiple item drops? was watching a few runs and streams where people were getting 2 items a run at times. (not sure if they reolled + completed since i see it often enough)

#

nvm went and read up on it "every keystone higher is a 40% addiative chance for an additional peace" . . . . so a guarantee'd 3. and at a 15 it's a guarantee'd 5? with 7 pieces at 20? or is it capped at 4-5

crisp steppe
#

the 40% is correct. don't think theres a limit

solar bramble
#

so a 20 key is 7 pieces guaranteed then? and a 15 is 5?

#

i haven't gone past a 13 yet so idk

spice surge
#

yes

#

Or well, you still get +1 if you time it

solar bramble
#

well that makes doing 15's much more appealing now. I was waiting a little to start pushing a lot higher

spice surge
#

so depends on that too

solar bramble
#

it's 2 base, with 40% per key and a +1 on time is what i'm gettting. so a completed 15 is 5 with an uncomplete 15 as a 4 item chest

spice surge
#

Correct

solar bramble
#

(chose 5 becas;ue it's an even interval 40 x 5 = 2

#

.4x5*

#

good to know

After how many targets is Scent of Blood good?

past marten
#

What healing do you guys prefer next to Lurkers? I am currently experimenting with Deadeye instead of Dice and I like to delay the last Vendetta (if boss dies within 1,5m) until I get the Dead Ahead procs

#

Anyone else who experimented with that?

cobalt pelican
#

sob is only slightly less agility than treacherous with 2 ruptures up with no downside, so 3 consistently probably makes it fine

#

and i don't ever hold for something like that really, even though in an ideal world you want both weapon enchant procs up with a trinket proc on the last one if you can it just never seems that realistic

past marten
#

true, it's not an everyday situation - but for the last Vendetta, might as well give it a go

cobalt pelican
#

and while crit might feel like the best stat for that window it doesn't mean it really is, if i had to guess if you have any np you'd probably want mastery, so just take whichever trinket is actually better for you

#

you can try yeah, you can pretty much guarantee you'll get the trinket window but you might miss an enchant proc to do so etc

#

i just fire it off and pray to the gods assuming i'm not waiting for some other external thing

past marten
#

yeah, I cannot control all random variables obviously.. but I figured I could try the most impactful

Guys

#

Are alchemists stones trinkets any good for us?

#

Liike, would you say they're worth crafting?

rigid mango
#

Depends what your current trinks are

#

Is there a weak aura that displays when your garrottes and ruptures are buffed by subterfuge.

errant viper
#

Yes

#

Many

rigid mango
#

What trinks are you running atm @errant viper

And you're intending on making the 400 alch trink?

errant viper
#

Was thinking of making the 385 one

#

But was wondering if going for that line of trinkets is good or nah

#

will probably sim it, yeah

#

Wait, just read above..

#

does subterfuge buff rupture?

rigid mango
#

No

errant viper
#

Was confused for a moment there

tardy sluice
#

Does anyone know if feint works on Crushing doubt on mythic restless cabal?

errant viper
#

@rigid mango Just to be sure, to sim it I'd have to create 3 gear sets, one with my original trinkets, one with trinket A replaced with alchemist stone, and one of with trinket B replaced with alchemist stone, right?

#

Kinda new to sims, still not entirely sure what I'm doing

rigid mango
#

Yes, I believe that's the case

errant viper

if i mark pre-pull, would it be better to open with rupture or garrote (assuming i have subterfuge)

Don't play mark

i thought mark was the go-to

#

or did that tier get changed

last i played was when the race for first jaina was going on

hey boys after 5months of wow-break I am back - could anyone give me a fast re-startet tip?
I saw m+ nearly all guys playing outlaw, raid a mix of outlaw and assa..
So I was assa, is outlaw rly that good now? ^^

rigid mango
#

They're close

#

They can do diff things well

#

Outlaw is simple to gear, and has a lot of utility

solemn meadow
#

in dungeons you wanna go with outlul

#

in raid the other one

rigid mango
#

in 8.2 you'll probably see sin being better

#

I wouldn't say that @solemn meadow

#

sin is rly good for m+

last parrot
#

sin?

rigid mango
#

assa

#

outlaw is just simpler to gear and play

solemn meadow
#

assas - sin

last parrot
#

ah sin lol xD

rigid mango
#

^

#

both are very good

last parrot
#

ok is outlaw still this reroll rng thin?

rigid mango
#

I play sin for both and have good times on either

#

yes, outlaw is still based on roll the bones

#

Sin has a higher dps potential than outlaw

solemn meadow
#

well its good that the current mythic + affix benefits outlaw

#

aswell

rigid mango
#

<- name

last parrot
#

ok why is outlaw simpler to gear? not that stat dependendd?

#

-d

solemn meadow
#

well you can use more weapons too

#

and dungeon trinkets are better for outlaw aswell I believe

#

for assa you want new raid trinket + dungeon trinket

rigid mango
#

Well

#

Outlaw just gears everything

#

The raiding azerite and m+ azerite is the same

#

apart from that you only need one keep your wits about you trait for m+

#

Meanwhile sin's raiding azerite is 🔥 garbage for m+
