#

if you have none, Master assassin is superior

#

Which means you go for that opener^

fathom echo
#

yeah this was for my purely ST build

rigid mango
#

This is all in the pins

#

in the guide

fathom echo
#

ah cheers ill check it out

rigid mango
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
rigid mango
#

There

vapid scarab
rigid mango
#

Not anything

#

Don't take CT

#

CT is pretty much only good if the trash is surviving for a very long time

#

But atm, EB stacking is quite good

rose perch
#

i think the question is "long enough" on garrote and rupture in that guide

rigid mango
#

And EB ends up dealing more damage

rose perch
#

not about CT

rigid mango
#

Oh great

#

well, yeah

#

You learn that from playing, I suppose

#

It's all relative to the level you're doing, and waht you're doing

rose perch
#

there's a number let me find it

rigid mango
#

With whom

fringe narwhal
#

question I mostly play outlaw

#

do you guys play EP and MA?

#

in mplus

rose perch
#

the question is how long the target has to live to be worth garroting and rupturing and there is an answer let me just find it real quick

rigid mango
#

no

#

Ep yes

#

MA, never

fringe narwhal
#

I thought that was the case

rigid mango
#

Sub always

fringe narwhal
#

have a pug with that

rigid mango
#

MA is garbage

#

Sub + ss traits is too good

#

in comparison

fathom echo
#

even for raiding?

rigid mango
#

That's solely m+

#

EP you take whatever content you're doing PVE wise

#

The choice between MA and sub is a nobrainer in m+, as sub is far superior

#

but in raid, the choice comes down to encounter and traits

rose perch
#

@vapid scarab Garrote if the target will live for 4 seconds on single target, or 12 seconds in AoE. Rupture if the target will live for 4 seconds.

vapid scarab
#

awesome, thank you

rigid mango
#

Sub with ss traits is superior in cleave, ma and full ST blast is superior in such fights

fathom echo
#

wow just tried MA opener, and that NP dot plus vendetta + vanish is huge

rigid mango
#

Your burst windows are far more impactful

vapid scarab
#

@rose perch how many targets is AoE in that example

fathom echo
#

you can only garrote 3 targets with subterfuge time right?

rigid mango
#

Yes

rose perch
#

looks like any number more than 1 @vapid scarab , with the caveat that if you're at 4 combo points you can garrote a little more agressively

vapid scarab
#

also, is it worth multidotting targets for purely priority damage?

rigid mango
#

You don't gain ST damage, no

#

Rup sniping low hp can be worth it though

rose perch
#

yeah there's a slight ST gain associated with having a second set of dots out

#

especially if you're lower haste

rigid mango
#

hm?

rose perch
#

the energy regen

#

gives you more globals

rigid mango
#

I thought it wasn't an ST gain

#

yeah, but I've been told several times it's not

vapid scarab
#

i've noticed that when stuff dies with i get a big burst of energy, what is that?

rigid mango
#

Rupture timing out

#

With a lot left

rose perch
#

that's Venomous Wounds second clause

#

the passive

rigid mango
#

It refunds X energy depending on the time on rup leflt

#

on a target that has poisons on it, that died with rup up

vapid scarab
#

oh cool, didn't read that far

rigid mango
#

So you rup snipe

#

Which is pretty much putting a high CP rup on a target dying soon, think balistas on jaina

#

or in m+

#

To get a huge burst of energy back, especially handy if you have a tb window coming up, for example

vapid scarab
#

that's worth spending the 5cp for?

rigid mango
#

If you wont waste the energy, yes

fathom echo
#

what do you guys take for M+ on 75 row ,im guessing iron wire is the go to

rigid mango
#

yes

#

ib is very handy, and lovely to use

#

but iron wire is too good

vapid scarab
#

oh, i assumed prey would be go to since it lets your group burst prio targets really hard

rigid mango
#

no, the two other options are better

#

iternal bleeding does a lot of damage, and iron wire is one of the main reasons for sin's strength in m+

#

9(?) second silence x3 with 15% dmg reduc

#

Yep, strong

vapid scarab
#

isn't it only 6?

#

3+3

rigid mango
#

uhh

#

I can't remember

#

Hence question mark

#

I'm too tired, brain malfunctioning

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

Yes, 6 seconds, and 8 second dmg reduc

vapid scarab
#

alright, and if I'm reading correctly earlier, to do aoe as ass, at 3 targets you keep up garrotes on them all and FoK only to maintain poisons, do i also maintain rupture on 3 targets or just Env?

rigid mango
#

In an m+ setting?

vapid scarab
#

in any aoe setting, assuming the targets all live the proper length

#

assuming sub is talented

rigid mango
#

I mean, I'm not sure past initial garrotes

#

in an m+ setting, garrote isn't worth while applying past the first 3

vapid scarab
#

but that's because the targets will die right

rigid mango
#

But that's also because stuff doesn't normally survive much longer than that, and the damage is much lower than echoing blades fok

vapid scarab
#

do you rupture all 3 targets?

rigid mango
#

Ye

#

This is the point where we're talking like, cabal mythic

vapid scarab
#

and once using FoK once to apply poisons, you build combo points with mut

rigid mango
#

Where even SoB can become a valid choice

#

That's sorta down to traits

#

If you're running echoing blades, several

#

fok does more damage than muti at 2 targets

vapid scarab
#

i'm just reading what's in the guide

rigid mango
#

but it's less effective than muti as it gaining cp

#

at 3, you'd be foking to gain

#

Unless you're runnning DD

#

The guide is sorta outdated afaik, and doesn't include a lot of information regarding traits

vapid scarab
#

yeah, i've noticed that, and it's not very clear either, hence all my questions

rigid mango
#

Yeah, I mean 3 target sustained aoe is a very niche situation

#

that you're nearly never in

vapid scarab
#

so is there a target count where you just FoK->Env over and over

rigid mango
#

once again, that sorta depends on traits ๐Ÿ˜„

sour wraith
#

There's a target count where you just FoK with the right traits

rigid mango
#

in m+, you'll do that at 3-4 targets

#

with ttk traits

#

yes, at 5+ targets and several EB traits, you mongo fok

#

and just ignore CP entirely

vapid scarab
#

what is ttk, it doesn't say in the guide

rigid mango
#

Twist the knife

#

more env damage

vapid scarab
#

how many EB traits would that take at 5+, 2 or 3?

rigid mango
#

There are diff set ups people have for m+, doing diff things

#

2

#

I mean, possibly even 1, but I never run less than 2

vapid scarab
#

what is the standard trait setup for m+ and ST

rigid mango
#

For m+ wise, it's any mix of eb/ttk/ss

#

I'm running 3ttk/eb 2ttk/eb 1 ss

#

Depending on group, dungeon etc

#

or 2/2/2

#

If you need more aoe, 3 eb will be better

vapid scarab
#

so 2 of everything then

rigid mango
#

if you need more priority damage, you go 3 ttk

vapid scarab
#

for a standard build that will be pretty good for everything

rigid mango
#

if you want a bit of everything, which i recommend for anything

#

yeah, 2/2/2 is a super good starter build

#

And also just a generally really good build

vapid scarab
#

for ST tho? EB is useless right

rigid mango
#

yes, there we end at the diff between cleave and patchwerk

#

Cleave, SS is god

#

As man as you can, really

#

rasta padding, JFM, etc

#

Cabal, etc

#

You need atleast 1 NP thanks to the insnae value it has at 1 trait

vapid scarab
#

ok, so ST is 1NP, 1SS, and then 4 of whatever really sims highest?

rigid mango
#

For cleave, sorta

#

You want to take as many SS as you can, and 1 NP minimum

#

for patchwerk style

#

last 3 BoD for example

#

Youw ant 3 DD + np

#

and fill out the rest with other NP, bbi etc

vapid scarab
#

DD is the mut trait right

rigid mango
#

Yes

#

When running DD it's all about envenom uptime

#

Since you get the 6 second buff from env that increases poison app

#

And DD is a poison app, so you want to try to muti in env windows all the time, to get the maximum value out fo the trait

vapid scarab
#

so pool energy before you env

#

?

rigid mango
#

Normally, you don't worry about it

#

You nearly always have time to muti within those env windows

#

Just like EP, you don't need to play around it

vapid scarab
#

does rupture snapshot with EP

#

okay

rigid mango
#

Nothing snapshots

#

apart from SS/sub/ns

vapid scarab
#

so EP you literally just ignore, passive talent

rigid mango
#

When you come to high tier min maxing, you pool and dump around it

#

but it's a very minimal dps gain

#

that's not worth thinking about

vapid scarab
#

yeah, that makes sense

rigid mango
#

in m+, you can just think about spacing your finishers between fok spam

#

Pretty much

#

It's not something you need to think about, really

vapid scarab
#

unless it's 5+ right, then you don't use finishers

#

or do you still use finishers to maintain EP

rigid mango
#

not to maintain ep, but to maintain energy reg

vapid scarab
#

oh with ruptures

rigid mango
#

you use 3 garrotes, rup -> fok -> rup

#

and then spam

#

When those garrotes start ending and trash still has hp

#

you rupture, even better if you can rup snipe

#

at this point

#

more energy = more fok Sinscheme

vapid scarab
#

so past the initial garrotes basically never garrote unless 2 targets

rigid mango
#

Yep

#

Garrote isn't really worth it after that point

vapid scarab
#

and then for aoe, just have 5 bleeds out and FoK spam

rigid mango
#

At 5+ targets, yeah

#

1 sec

#

I'll give you my copy pasta

vapid scarab
#

less than 5 do initial garrotes and spread rupture to everything

rigid mango
#

lemme find it

#

think of playing sin in m+ like driving a car, with 4 gears
first gear: 1 Target. you do standard 1 target rotaion (with exceptions if you're running HB)
second gear: 2 Target. say 2nd boss fh, your rotation changes a bit, you keep both dotted and you build differently
you muti first, 2 cp? muti again, 3 cp? fok, 4-5 cp? finish
This is if you're running 2+ eb
Third gear: 3-4 target, here you spread 5 bleeds and build and spend like regular, fok fok into env
Forth gear: 5+ Targets, here you spread 5 bleeds and fok like a madman, ignoring all spending until you need to reapply your bleeds with ruptures

#

That's a pretty general guide for m+, atelast

#

You'll notice how things work when applying it in game, and notice when to swap shit up

vapid scarab
#

second gear sounds confusing

#

how do you have 3cp after 2 muti

rigid mango
#

Uhh, that's just poor formatting

#

1 sec

#

1/2 CP = muti
3 CP = Fok
4-5 = finisher

#

Muti is better at gaining cp, but fok does more damage

#

well, better at consistantly gaining, atleast

vapid scarab
#

it's fine to use finishers at 4cp as well right, unless you can pool for a bit till it's time to refresh garrote/TB is up

rigid mango
#

You always finish at 4+

#

Since risking muti critting for 4

#

is a potental 3 cp lost

vapid scarab
#

well say you were at 4cp, you need to refresh garrote in like 2s, why not wait 2s to get a 5cp finisher

#

assuming you wouldn't cap energy during that 2s either

rigid mango
#

Yeah, for sure

#

If you're at 4 and you have garrote or tb coming up

#

it's defo worth waiting and finishing at 5

vapid scarab
#

okay that's what i was asking

rigid mango
#

see, you're already getting effectivity

vapid scarab
#

i mean i play WW at a pretty high level already im just trying to learn how to play rogue now

rigid mango
#

Yeh

vapid scarab
#

mostly just need to know what to do at what numbers

rigid mango
#

That's mostly what this spec is

#

And preplanning

#

All about planning.

vapid scarab
#

yeah, used to that with WW already

rigid mango
#

St sin is mostly around TB windows

#

and using them efficiently

vapid scarab
#

oh, i thought TB was just braindead use on CD don't think about

#

what should i be fitting into each TB

rigid mango
#

2 envenoms

#

atleast

vapid scarab
#

okay and more if possible

#

depends on mut crits i guess

#

for cp

rigid mango
#

If the situation lets you, for sure

#

it depends on your haste, muti crits

#

energy reg thanks to other sources

#

For example, rup sniping a balista on jaina

#

getting that burst when you're starved in your tb window

#

might result in 3 instead of 2

#

which is enough of a dmg increase to be worth while

vapid scarab
#

rup sniping actually sounds pretty cool, i didn't know you could game stuff like that with assa

rigid mango
#

It's quite a niche thing

#

It's not suuuuper useful, and isn't used very often

#

mostly in m+, and niche raid encounters

vapid scarab
#

it's kinda similar to how you would use MfD with adds tho right

#

is that ever taken btw

#

m+ or anything

rigid mango
#

Nope

#

It's just worse

#

pretty much

vapid scarab
#

yeah i guess you would need a fight where you have 1 add spawning constantly and dying really fast to be worth

#

cus at high targets you just FoK spam anyway

rigid mango
#

Yep

#

It's just very lackluster

vapid scarab
#

and deeper strat is not great to right

rigid mango
#

Not atm no

#

Maybe later in the expac with higher haste or smth

#

atm it's quite stale talent wise :/

#

I don't change anything apart ma/sub

#

Unless niche situation

#

Like iternal bleedin is better on conq since you want to kidney adds

#

Elusiveness is better than cheat death in tyr kr/tos keys

vapid scarab
#

and vendetta in m+ is basically just use on CD if there's no priority add or boss within the next 2min right

rigid mango
#

Yep

#

Just use whenever you can

#

but as you said, want to have it for bosses or bigger add

vapid scarab
#

kinda shitty not having an kind of CD for aoe

rigid mango
#

not really

#

you outdamage people with aoe cds

#

with 3 eb

#

and they have down time, you don't ๐Ÿ˜„

vapid scarab
#

how do you use vanish btw

rigid mango
#

in m+?

vapid scarab
#

in dungeons i've been using it if tank chain pulls shit and i can't stealth to start with empowered garrotes

#

other than that just on boss fights

rigid mango
#

yeah, I don't use it for straight up dps all the time

#

I use it for situations like that

#

or awk reap spawns

#

or general utility usage

vapid scarab
#

makes sense

rigid mango
#

Saving on stuff like rezan

#

is imo better

#

but you lose a bit of dps

#

but you lose potentially more not using it later

vapid scarab
#

by awk reap spawns you mean vanish so you don't die while everyone else is dying?

rigid mango
#

same for using it in vanish skips, another reason outlaw has better utility

#

By awk reap spawn I mean it spawns mid packl

#

and you don't get restealth

#

So you vanish to get 3 garrotes

#

and get into spamming fok as soon as possible

vapid scarab
#

oh yeah ok

rigid mango
#

if there's like, 1 dude left, not letting you restealth

vapid scarab
#

reap is worth garroting?

rigid mango
#

vanishing to fok faster is very worth while

vapid scarab
#

didn't think it would live enough

rigid mango
#

First 3, yes

#

not after that thouhg

#

not dmg

#

it's for energy reg

#

for fok spam

vapid scarab
#

it seems like a lot of it is just getting a feel for it rather than memorizing exact numbers

rigid mango
#

Very much so

#

Numbers are good, but in application a lot changes

#

and you need to do a lot of on the fly rearranging

vapid scarab
#

okay, well thank you for taking the time to answer all my questions

rigid mango
#

np, if you need help I'm nearly always available in dms or just asking it here

misty edge
#

I honestly think this is my favorite discord Iโ€™ve ever been in. Iโ€™ve basically lived in here the last few weeks always getting ultra fast questions answered and reading everyoneโ€™s advice to other people. Iโ€™ve had some gear upgrades and such but my numbers in dungeons have gone through the roof from everything Iโ€™ve been putting into practice and 97% of it came from here haha

rigid mango
#

Glad to see it ๐Ÿ˜„

strange python
#

This discord is also very toxic but you know..

#

Rogues likes poisons

near nacelle
#

Does anyone know if blizzard fixed the Racing Flag for Uu'nat?

tropic ocean
#

Vanish is also really good to use to ignore certain mechanics if needed e.g. powdershot

limber gust
#

how long did you take to get "pretty confident" with sin overall? I am not playing m+ or dungeons that much yet (some raids on LFR) but still feel like i am doing something wrong somehow

tropic ocean
#

maybe2-3 weeks after bfa launch since it changed a lot compared to legion

#

I usually watch a lot of seliathan stream to improve decision making

#

For raid its pretty straight forward and only changes when certain mechanics force you to move/burst dps

limber gust
#

hmm so it's all bout getting more confident with rotation and the pulls

#

xd meh i need to start to make some more m+ sooner or later

tropic ocean
#

After some time your st/ 2 target is just automatism

#

In m+ theres more decision making involved due to kicks/cc pull size route etc

limber gust
#

but yea i am still not so sure like when you hit envenom you wanna spam mutilate on the time frame of envenom, if you hit TB you wanna use lot of envenom during that frame, right`?

tropic ocean
#

Depends on target count

limber gust
#

yea for st it is, for mt you wanna add 3 rups and fok?

tropic ocean
#

You dont want ur dots to expire during envenom and want to pool energy so u can fit 2-3envenom into tb

#

In a mt situation theres 2 different approaches

#

If theres just many mobs that dont do hard stuff put 3 garrote rupture and pump fok while putting enough energy to sustain

#

If theres a priority eg trash/reaping with ludwig for example u put enough bleed to sustain build with fok and pump envenom into priority

limber gust
#

okay

tropic ocean
#

a common pull this week is the pack with the backhand guys in freehold

limber gust
#

yea but as you said prob. need to get that "memorized" like ST and later on decision making

tropic ocean
#

Where u spam fok and spam envenom into the big one that cant be slowed

#

Best 2 advices i can give u is play a lot

#

And watch seli stream

limber gust
#

okay

#

thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

yea i need to play lot more m+, but I am doing atm just random groups and feels like dunno ๐Ÿ˜„

tropic ocean
#

it will get better once you climb and get into better groups/keys

#

i basically went from 1.8k to 2.3k just by watching seli and trying to applicate the same decisions

limber gust
#

Okay, but i would first need to reach any higher r.io score. my highest is DH with 870ish

keen spruce
#

What's the consensus on treacherous covenant? it sims pretty well but it seems like the downside is kind of gnarly in M+ and if you get any ticking damage in a raid you get clapped

real bay
#

btw on higher tyr how tf are you supposed to survive FH 2nd boss this week ?

#

just get lucky or

keen spruce
#

pray your clothies dont get shotgunned

real bay
#

yea, tank tried to take them but the shot very narrow

tropic ocean
#

U can los the shot behind pillar if its really needed

#

Other than that rogue has a really good toolkit to survive multiple shots

#

Iirc evasive vanish (feint if taken elusiveness?)

#

and feint again

real bay
#

yeah I guess los would help, it's the casters dying always

#

dodged many myself without evasion

tropic ocean
#

You can take improved feint too

#

So basically u can feint vanish feint evasion feint

#

If you get 5 after each ๐Ÿ˜‚

real bay
#

yea took it , lost barely 50% per shot

tropic ocean
#

If you evasion pretty late and get another one I think u can even evasion two

#

But not sure about it

#

i had the same issue you have and thats pretty much what flawless told me when I asked for help

keen spruce
#

Troll for the dps or belf for the belf?

tropic ocean
#

Prefer belf for mythic+ just super utility for many mobs

#

(Ur, tol dagor) just to name sone

#

Some*

keen spruce
#

probably for raiding prog and m+, not sure if zerking is really gonna make a big enough difference to give up the utility of torrent

#

but the parses peepostudy

worldly iron
night vale
#

Troll sims lower than belf anyway, if that makes up your mind

tropic ocean
#

@keen spruce not a big difference for sin anyway and belf has the critz

keen spruce
#

that'd do it snimo thanks fam

flint jetty
#

Earlier in the tier when haste was low troll was a bit ahead of belf but the resource return and crit hold more value with higher item level it seems

tropic ocean
#

I guess with the new gear 450 ilvl belf will pull ahead even further cuz of the flat 1% crit

#

same for goblin for the haste

granite beacon
#

I wonder if there are people that actually race change to gain that extra 0.2% dps

rigid mango
#

yes

#

I mean, changing to nelf is worth it

#

if you're ally

granite beacon
#

Because of the 5% MS, right

#

๐Ÿ˜

rigid mango
#

Shadowmeld is v good in m+, atleast

#

not only for utility

#

but as nelf w 3 ss you can get 9x garrotes

#

as opener

#

100k each

granite beacon
#

Does shadowmeld trigger subterfuge?

rigid mango
#

You shadowmeld -> stealth on non bosses

#

But on bosses, it only triggers ss i think?

#

it's one but not the other

spice surge
#

Yes, you cant leave combat on bosses

worldly iron
#

ss

#

not subterfuge

#

for bosses

#

so you're right

granite beacon
#

That's a funny interaction

spice surge
#

And SS is amplified by subterfuge

#

So its quite a lot weaker than a vanish, but better than nothing

rigid mango
#

It's insane in m+ though

spice surge
#

ye no doubt

rigid mango
#

means you can use get a 2nd m+

#

vanish*

#

brain lag

granite beacon
#

Zine is out here trying to cast m+

rigid mango
#

Dude, my brain

#

Yeah, but it's nutty

#

Means you can use one as utility like outlaw

#

And still have one for the massive dps increase that it is for assa

granite beacon
#

You can reserve vanish in an m+ in case you get ganked by some horde

buoyant lichen
#

it TotT even necessary to cast nowadays?

granite beacon
rigid mango
#

TotT?

buoyant lichen
#

Tricks

rigid mango
#

Yes, it's insanely good

granite beacon
#

Skittish

rigid mango
#

for m+

#

Like, with bfa aggro changes

buoyant lichen
#

ah for M+ ok

rigid mango
#

It's very good

buoyant lichen
#

that makes sense

rigid mango
#

just use on pull on tanks

#

in raids

granite beacon
#

Bring back classic aggro tbh

rigid mango
#

I use it nearly on cd in m+

#

Don't bring back classic at all

buoyant lichen
#

So on a fight like Jadefire, I'm basically just keeping my dots up on secondary target, and then using CDs/on main target ya?

rigid mango
#

Yep

#

Keep both dotted so you get all the energy reg

#

and pump damage into the monk

buoyant lichen
#

for the first 2 garrotes, Suffocation and Toxic blade, would I stack both of the garrotes on main target, or put one on each?

rigid mango
#

you go

buoyant lichen
#

going by the ravenholdt opener

rigid mango
#

g monk g mage g monk

buoyant lichen
#

ok

rigid mango
#

Get pandemic bonus on the monk

#

as it's prio target

#

and then follow regular opener from there

buoyant lichen
#

Emerald or Opal for Opulence?

rigid mango
#

Opal

buoyant lichen
#

thx

strange python
#

ruby if you are raid's bitch

granite beacon
#

Does venomous wounds trigger twice when one target has two bleeds? Basic thing I've been wondering

rigid mango
#

Yes

#

You gain energy reg for both garrote and rup

strange python
#

works for every bleed, so both garrote and rapture

rigid mango
#

Not every bleed

#

CT doesn't work

granite beacon
#

What's the cap on extra energy income?

strange python
#

thats beacuse no one plays CT

rigid mango
#

5 targets

strange python
#

LUL

rigid mango
#

At 5 bleeds, you'll get inf energy reg

granite beacon
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

I've tried a few classes since I got back into wow, and this spec feels the most big brain

#

Actually planning ahead and managing resources rather than fishing for procs all the time

fathom echo
#

anyone know how long you stay in vanish after you pop vendetta for the MA opener

sullen pagoda
#

u dont stay in vanish

fathom echo
#

doesnt it make the NP dot tick harder

sullen pagoda
#

no you continue with your opener

You use it to refresh MA

#

and get crit window with vendetta + tb

fathom echo
#

ah i though the crit would affect NP Dot

rigid mango
#

Sure, but it doesn't deal that much dmg

#

not as much as critting env with tb + vend on target

tall pelican
#

What is expected from you as a rouge in mythic plus aoe or single target ?

#

If you go all aoe traits boss damage sucks

rigid mango
#

You take a mix

#

2/3 eb, and rest are SS/TTK

#

Your ST is normally ok, and you have one of the highest aoe dmg ceilings

tall pelican
#

It 2x echoing the norm ?

#

Like 3x is a waste ?

rigid mango
#

Nah

#

3 is still really good

#

You just need bigger pulls to make up for it

tall pelican
#

Ok atm Iโ€™m 3x eb 2x ss and 1x ttk

rigid mango
#

Yeah that's fine

#

You just need your tank to be pulling big

#

and you'll be doing more than fine

tall pelican
#

Just getting been getting beat on bosses

#

Is that the norm ?

cloud iris
#

Beaten by what classes

buoyant lichen
#

Time vanish with 5 combo points so you can Garrote/Rupture/Garrote agian?

tall pelican
#

DH and a rogue Sin with single target traits

rigid mango
#

"st traits"?

#

wdym

tall pelican
#

Yep doing all that

rigid mango
#

If he's running dd/np

tall pelican
#

Yep

rigid mango
#

then he's a bad sin rogue

sullen pagoda
#

if hes playing DD and NP in m+ hes doing it really wrong

rigid mango
#

no fucking shit he'll out dps you

#

when he's specced into st

#

and you're not

sullen pagoda
#

if u want dungeon ST u just go SS and TTK with 1x EB

rigid mango
#

like, dh has good st

tall pelican
#

Like smashing me

rigid mango
#

yes

#

obviously

#

The diff between aoe and st traits

#

are quite huge

#

for sin

sullen pagoda
#

and how much overall is he doing @tall pelican 15k max? omegalul

rigid mango
#

Like

#

If you're dealing less than him at the end of the dung

#

and not like, nearly 2x

tall pelican
#

I did beat him overall by couple of million

rigid mango
#

like, if someone

#

ran 3 dd np

#

in an m+ dungeon

#

I'd be doing over double their dmg

#

in the end

sullen pagoda
#

yea

rigid mango
#

For sure

sullen pagoda
#

those traits are just garbage for m+

rigid mango
#

No doubt about it

#

Like, 1 np can be arguably good

tall pelican
#

Just cleared 2 key waycrest 17

rigid mango
#

actually decent as it turns out on tyr keys

#

Yeah, you should be miles ahead of him

#

WM has enough big pulls

#

where you should be beating by like, 10+ mil

#

atleast

sullen pagoda
#

yep

tall pelican
#

Yeah was 9 million

rigid mango
#

If you compare the diff in time spent on bosses

#

to trash

#

bosses are a fair bit less

tall pelican
#

Yep so just stay my aoe spec ?

rigid mango
#

Like, running 3ttk/eb 2ttk/eb 1 ss

#

is what I'll be doing

#

this week

sullen pagoda
#

id say sisters boss is only "high ST required" boss but 17 is just so low key to min max around that

rigid mango
#

Swapping depending on dungeon and group, 2/2/2 for kr

#

Yes, you should

#

It's vastly superior to going ST

#

You can sacrifice an eb if you think your ST is too low

#

and take another ttk/ss

#

but that means you sacrifice about, I'd say maybe 3-4k+ end of dungeon average

tall pelican
#

2x eb ?

rigid mango
#

Yes, if you feel like your ST is dragging really low

#

And you're not completing keys thanks to it, maybe

#

But I'm normally semi competitive with most specs on ST

#

bar shit like elly etc

tall pelican
#

I like my 3x eb and 2x ss

rigid mango
sullen pagoda
#

2x of each shouldnt even be that low ST or 1x EB

rigid mango
#

Cool, so why are you here

#

If you like it

#

Why are you asking for tips, if you're not gonna swap anyways

tall pelican
#

Just didnโ€™t know what people expected from us

rigid mango
#

I'm v confused

sullen pagoda
#

3x EB is more of a fortified week combo but it shouldnt matter at 17

rigid mango
#

Nah

#

3 eb is arguably better on tyr

#

since shit isn't fort, so you can pull bigger

#

= eb even better

#

You just need to have a decent tank, what can I say

sullen pagoda
#

maybe even that

#

ye

rigid mango
#

The diff on bosses aren't big enough

#

where the 1 eb diff will kill you, most of the time

#

if you compare fort to tyr hp/dmg

sullen pagoda
#

all in all going for DD NP traits is mega yikes no @tall pelican

rigid mango
#

^

#

at max, 1 np, but it's pretty situational it seems

sullen pagoda
#

i think ive seen 1 log of KR 25 i think it was with sin going DD

#

but thats a god damn 25 KR

#

omega

rigid mango
#

Yeh, very niche

tall pelican
#

Can you get mythic plus parses ?

rigid mango
#

yes

tall pelican
#

Like raid bosses

rigid mango
#

But no one uses them

#

It's not really indicative of much tbh

sullen pagoda
#

its not like raid bosses its overall dmg ranking

rigid mango
#

Very few use them

#

It's very hard to use parses to gauge how well you did

#

since pulls/your experience differs so much

#

every run

sullen pagoda
#

yea if you want any pointers id suggest just watching some streams i guess

rigid mango
#

I mean, looking at them and looking at what they're casting might help you

#

But even then, it's way too niche and not very substantial information to learn from

lethal heart
#

@sullen pagoda he probably did that just to easier complete dungeon

#

because in kr 25

#

you go for complete

#

rofl

rigid mango
#

deplete*

lethal heart
#

well

#

its complete

#

deplete doesnt necessarily mean you complete

#

xd

rigid mango
#

never try kr

#

scary place

lethal heart
#

just overtuned

rigid mango
#

Just go for weekly key

lethal heart
#

because blizzard is delusional

rigid mango
#

yeah, insanely so

lethal heart
#

about balacing dungeons

rigid mango
#

like ally side siege

lethal heart
#

just like seat

rigid mango
lethal heart
#

in legion

elfin gull
#

what are the desired traits in M+ compared to BOD raids?

lethal heart
#

ttk/eb/shrouded

rigid mango
#

raids are DD/NP/BBI/SS

#

Depending on encounter

elfin gull
#

ttk = twist the knife?

#

thank you both

rigid mango
#

Yes

#

If you check wcl you can see what peeps are running for every boss

elfin gull
#

im trying to decide on whether to go outlaw or assassination. i dont want to keep switching haha

#

ok thanks again

sullen pagoda
#

id say assassination is safe pick

rigid mango
#

Sin is always good in raid, and is looking like a super good pick up for m+ next season

elfin gull
#

they seem to be stronger for pvp as well

#

is there an easy way to keep track of dots on other targets?

rigid mango
#

Dunno anything about that, but yeah I'd guess so since bf is virtually not a spell in pvp

#

Plates, probably

elfin gull
#

so far aoe in m+ the basic idea with 4+ targets is Garr 3 targets and fok?

dense falcon
#

when spreading bleeds in M+ do we always want a 5 combo point rupture?

rigid mango
#

You gar 3x with sub first

#

and then rup, then build and rup again

#

at 5 bleeds you have inf energy reg

#

and can start spamming fok if you're at 5+ targets

dense falcon
#

dope ty thats exactly what i needed

rigid mango
#

or if you're at lower, you envenom etc

elfin gull
#

gotcha ty

lean glacier
#

Really dumb question. So the rotation im seeing for assassination says to vanish to reapply garrote, if im soloing stuff, wont it just reset the fight?

rigid mango
#

Uhh, sometimes

#

if you're fast, not really

lean glacier
#

okay thats what I figured

royal lantern
#

vanish in solo content is like faint in raids

#

sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

#

๐Ÿคท

lament dove
#

usually if you want to vanish for dps, mob resets, if you want to get away, it doesn't work

real bay
#

solo won't work if you're the only one with aggro

knotty falcon
#

Hey, I find myself dropping rupture way too often during tb, should I either refresh it before tb when it has over 7.2 sec left or maybe still use it during tb if i allready got 2 envenom? Or just let it drop and refresh the next spender after tb?

rigid mango
#

You shouldn't use a rupture during tb

tropic ocean
#

i think you pool poorly or

#

panic

#

i usually dont really rn into that issue

#

if rupture is >9 seconds when u tb you good

#

usually its 11~14ish for me

knotty falcon
#

So that means at some point you refresh it over 7.2 seconds no?

#

For example if i just do my opener without lust, my 2nd tb comes right before the moment i'm supposed to refresh rupture

fading ocean
#

i run into that issue too, i would like to know as well lol

#

but then again i don't really play sin anymore

tropic ocean
#

sometimes I overbuff > 7.2 yes

#

but in opener i don't run into that issue

knotty falcon
#

Guide opener is diff tho

fading ocean
#

i get into this weird cycle where my TB is always coming off CD right as my rupture is falling off

tropic ocean
#

?

#

thats 3 target

knotty falcon
#

Oh

#

Ye nvm

tropic ocean
#

but its the same with ma too u dont refresh during tb

#

but after

knotty falcon
#

Let me try again

#

One sec

tropic ocean
#

if that happens @fading ocean u should've refreshed before

#

and pool porperly

#

theres no way it will happen it opener unless you need to move, which means you'll delay tb anyway

regal vessel
#

Anyone can dm me for some ez questions?<3 I'm new to assa

fading ocean
#

yea i think im just garbo at sin

knotty falcon
#

Nah it's ok, i've figured it out

fading ocean
knotty falcon
#

Just need to sometimes refresh slightly before 7.2 or 6

#

And nothing overlaps

#

Good thanks for your help @tropic ocean

tropic ocean
#

np

#

@fading ocean just practiice it will get into your muscle memory

#

its basically keep dots up and pool/plan before tb so u can fit 2, better 3 envenom inside tb

#

this is the important part, pooling and not overcapping before tb

#

even if that last mutilate didnt crit i could've fit 3 envenom

regal vessel
#

Link to a good guide pls?

rigid mango
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
rigid mango
#

Damn

regal vessel
#

Thx

limber gust
#

feeling so unlucky with traits atm. Right now got SSx2, TTKx2, NPx1, EBx1 :H

knotty falcon
#

Also, another question, if you double garrote a target, do you also wait for it to completely run out to refresh?

#

Double garrote thanks to subterfuge

tropic ocean
#

u g r g

#

then let it tick out completely

knotty falcon
#

Yeah i meant that

#

and ok

#

Then the weak aura i was trying out is fucked FeelsBadMan

hushed valley
#

Np stacks correct?

tropic ocean
#

dmg yes

#

energy not

hushed valley
#

Ok so what's like a perfect world trait settup

tropic ocean
#

for st?

hushed valley
#

Cuz I've got 3x np then random shit for the next circle

#

I assume as is best in m+ still

tropic ocean
#

no its shit

#

m+ u want eb/ttk/ss

hushed valley
#

So just 1 ss

tropic ocean
#

any combination

#

some ppl play 3ss 3eb and do fine

hushed valley
#

Ok. I left before bed just getting back now

#

Where is dd useful

distant lava
#

raids

tropic ocean
#

on pure st encounters

#

or if you need heavy focus target dmg

#

(in st environment)

regal vessel
#

Not doing great on reaping what finisher should I use please ? Rupture till I have good energy then envenom?

tropic ocean
#

if you're stealthed before 3 g into rupture spam fok and spread ruptures till u have 4~5 bleeds up then just spam fok

#

if you're not stealthed fok>rupture>fok>rupture>fok>rupture>fok rupture> spam fok

regal vessel
#

Spam fok without using finisher? So envenom doesn't buff fok?

primal gazelle
#

spam fok over finishers at 6+ targets

#

assuming u have the energy regen to do so

rigid mango
#

Seems more beneficial at 5+

primal gazelle
#

What led to your conclusion?

rigid mango
#

Damage

#

Unless you're running 3 ttk's, and even then I doubt it

cobalt pelican
#

use t he power of mathematics

#

then you never have to doubt anything

tropic ocean
#

FEELCRAFT

#

:D:D:D ๐Ÿ˜„

regal vessel
#

Okay thx <3

primal gazelle
#

i wasted many minutes of my life making this stupid spreadsheet a few months ago of when to cast fok over finishers

#

plug in your values yourself and see @ how many targets should you fok over envenom

regal vessel
#

Nicee

primal gazelle
#

at 50% crit, 3 EB 0 ttk it tells me at 6+ its worth it to fok

#

but im not gonna argue over 5 or 6 targets

#

one thing to note, 50k dmg to 1 target is more "valuable" than 50k dmg to 5 targets

tropic ocean
#

so sheet is basically useless for me

#

will keep doing what I do ๐Ÿ˜„

primal gazelle
#

how is it useless

#

plug in your own values

tropic ocean
#

cuz

#

who is using 3eb 0 ttk

#

๐Ÿคท

primal gazelle
#

plenty of ppl

#

3 ss 3 eb is the pad spec

real bay
#

and pulls are often bigger anyways

rigid mango
#

๐Ÿ…ฑad spec

real bay
#

3ss is actually very good for bosses

tropic ocean
#

and if I use hidden blades

#

๐Ÿคท

real bay
#

combine it with lurker

primal gazelle
#

hidden blades is factored in your average hits of fok

limber gust
#

Zine just a prob. stupid question (if it is)

rigid mango
#

Sup

limber gust
#

if i wanna go like "more or less" hybrid as ST/MT (going to get 2 EB, 2 TTK, 1NP, 1 SS)

#

should i focus on crit/master mainly

rigid mango
#

YEs

limber gust
#

as main points

rigid mango
#

Haste is still worth very little in m+

limber gust
#

yea

rigid mango
#

And if you've already got 4 "st" traits

limber gust
#

i wanna setup my pawn as main crit, mast 2nd and haste as 3rd

rigid mango
#

You're better off pumping more crit and mast than a bit of haste

#

uhh, stat weights aren't that good to use

primal gazelle
#

didnt know ppl still use pawn lol

rigid mango
#

They're really off

#

And so is the dungeon slice sim

#

you have to know what to do with sin, v hard to sim for it

limber gust
#

hmmm i just take it as indicator

rigid mango
#

m+ wise, atleast

limber gust
#

yea i am kinda still new as sin

#

still learning :H

rigid mango
#

Yeah, you're still going to be way better off stacking crit and mast

#

mast scales w ttk and np, crit for eb

#

etc

limber gust
#

yep

ocean sparrow
#

Unfortunately, I feel almost useless with super low haste on TR weeks during boss fights.

limber gust
#

so nothing wrong to go crit/mast as main and lil bit of haste later on

#

right now i am like 892 crit, 790 haste, 860 mast (370 ilvl)

ocean sparrow
#

I can only ever remember what I have for crit...which is 1600ish for both outlaw and sin

lost horizon
#

I wouldn't worry about stat distribution at 370 ilvl

ocean sparrow
#

Both are 14% haste, and I swap all my verse for mastery for sin

limber gust
#

true too

lost horizon
#

Start looking into it when you've got more gear to work with

#

Cause at that ilvl better pieces will likely be upgrades regardless of what stats they have

limber gust
#

yea but lately i feel like not evne ready for m+ somehow

#

but yea i am afraid of m+ :H

lost horizon
#

Tbh at 370 you're not likely to be doing anything higher than like, idk a 5? Unless you're running with friends who don't mind carrying

#

Is this character an alt or your main?

limber gust
#

alt

#

but tho random m+ groups are bi*** more or less

#

got declined at +4 :p

lost horizon
#

Pugs are picky af

limber gust
#

yea

lost horizon
#

If it's an alt then don't stress m+, if you've done it before and know the mechanics you're fine

#

And don't expect to blast at 370, sin can get there but it's requires pretty specific gear

limber gust
#

yea but i am not really confident if i know all mechanics. especially my boss frame is acting up again (i never get in terms with elvui xD)

lost horizon
#

Well rogue is probably one of the most forgiving classes mechanically

#

If you make a mistake and proc cheat death (which you should probably take to start out with) just don't make that same mistake again

limber gust
#

yea but i am still not that sure what to kick overall in different dungeons I know some but yea ๐Ÿ˜„

lost horizon
#

Well that part's pretty important

#

I'm sure wowhead has guides for specific dungeons though

#

Can check that out

limber gust
#

yea its like i am totally "new" to it, but sometimes i am not sure what i should kick or not

lost horizon
#

Yeah some casts are gonna have higher priority than others

#

Best bet is dungeon guides for that

dark crag
#

In pugs i kick the deadly stuff

lost horizon
#

Or running with someone who can help call stuff out

#

I think his point is that he's not sure which casts are 'deadly'

civic palm
#

Bongo.

#

They need either a list of experience.

lost horizon
#

Tbh there's a lot of important kicks in most BFA dungeons

civic palm
#

Yeah my suggestion is to just interrupt everything you can.

rigid mango
#

Melee meta

civic palm
#

and make note of things that did not get interrupted that caused issues.

lost horizon
#

I was gonna suggest the same but sometimes that backfires

#

Like shrine ugh

#

I'd say best bet is to run with experienced folks who can call it for you as you get to each pack

#

But you know, that requires knowing experienced folks who are willing torun with you can call shit

civic palm
#

or that they are willing to even do that.

#

and won't just huff at you not knowing literally everything.

lost horizon

civic palm
#

Yeah, the FRENCH!!

lost horizon
#

LOL exactly

#

People are receptive to sharing like, niche strats/tips for high level but

#

Cause everyone assumes that everyone else knows it

civic palm
#

Also, if someone makes an error, don't blow up over it.

#

If they make it 12 times...

#

O _O

lost horizon
#

Ragers are the worst

#

In pugs especially

distant lava
#

hey guys how do we use galecallers as sin ? I'm a lazy fuck and I'd like to make a macro on a spell with it, I was thinking with TB , would that be a bad idea ?

lost horizon
#

On CD

#

But like

#

I wouldn't macro it

#

You're gonna wanna place it when you won't have to move out of it

civic palm
#

Yeah GCB's weighting demands using almost the entirety of the buff, so using it when you will have it most is better than stacking it and losing the buff half way through.

distant lava
#

I was doing sims and it said subt was the better talent for me without SS, I thought it was weird then I saw I picked nightstalker as the second talent and not MA dogeKek

Pretty much, you probably have options in your bags that are better than GCB as well, but only when something doesn't line up well.

shit overall

rigid mango
#

plumage and gcb sim at same value for me at equal fotting

but at the same time, plumage is just macro to vend

so

:/

lost horizon

Well if you can't use GCB properly there's no point

civic palm

Not sure it matters really, especially when you cannot use GCB correctly.

first time I killed uunat I got trinket and gave it to our enh sham dogeKek , regret that now
