final gazelle
#

i just searched him on twitch

rigid mango
#

incarnated on twitch

civic palm
#

He couldn't be asked to change his fucking name one way or the other so now we've this.

rigid mango
#

What he said

final gazelle
#

ok, foudn him

#

again, thanks for the info, this is way better response than what i was expecting

rigid mango
#

Np, gl ^^

grizzled crypt
#

i play both in m+, and the higher the keys get the more i come close in dps with assa

#

its just fucking riddicolous how much azerite gear you need with the perfect traits for different dungeons

#

with outlaw i just run the same traits for every dungeons

rigid mango
#

Another reason why there are so many more outlaw players

grizzled crypt
#

rupturing a couple of adds and spamming fok with 3 eb on ML 20+ isnt that hard tbh

civic palm
#

It's not really that much gear.

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

If you think that's the only thing the spec does

grizzled crypt
#

i run 3 ss/2ttk 1 eb for KR, 3 EB for ML, 3 ttk for a couple another

#

and with outlaw i run the same shit for every dungeon

rigid mango
#

Yep, that's how the specs work

grizzled crypt
#

depends on week aswell with assa, but its just alot more gear depend if you ask me

rigid mango
#

And another reason assa can be stronger

civic palm
#

You could probably drop the 3xTtK and have it not matter.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

grizzled crypt
#

then u prob wrong

rigid mango
#

I prefer having the choice and flexibility that sin has

grizzled crypt
#

the amount of time saved, while nuking a prio target is alot most of the time

rigid mango
#

Also one of its current core strengths

grizzled crypt
#

i like it alot too

#

i just dont have all the pieces i need :/ started to late with rogue

rigid mango
#

Happens to be the issue with assa

#

and why without awesome RNG, outlaw'll most likely still be better early on next season

#

Maybe assa pulls ahead after reaching optimal gearing, maybe not GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

grizzled crypt
#

tbh if you not playing on top keys i dont think it makes much of a difference

#

lets see what new affixes bring to the table, shadow adds seem to be aids anyway 😛

rigid mango
#

Seems to be easier than before now

#

with the considerable nerfs it got

lime path
#

anyone on the PTR sim the new potions yet?

echo night
#

Are there coming any changes to Assass in 8.2?

rigid mango
#

Not flat out, no

echo night
#

Buuuut :p?

rigid mango
#

But, essences?

#

Bound to change something up in how we play.

echo night
#

Meh

#

True

#

Essence feels too hyped up tbh

rigid mango
#

Depends on the class

#

Some, like assa, look like it's mostly gonna be pretty menial QoL increase

#

Just a better feel for the spec

#

Outlaw however, looks like it has a bunch of shit changing up everything

quiet totem
#

They will change play but doesn't look like more than 1 Legendary would have changed your play really

rigid mango
#

I mean, I'd say it's more like having an extra talent or two

white basalt
#

Any clear choice for best essence for raid yet? Anything I can do this Tuesday to get a boost before raid time?

#

Starting Jaina progression and hoping to scrape by and get CE

woven summit
#

When is the new raid released?

#

Not right away right?

meager nebula
#

2 weeks after the patch usually

#

with mythic a week after that

real bay
#

9/10 july

#

depends where you are xd

loud pine
#

hi

#

1 qustion about AOE if i use garrote OR rapcure on x1 target this 2 ability share my posion or debuff on all targett ?

distant lava
#

not sure what you mean by that

unborn barn
#

oh no djamax 😦 no you're morally obligated to see this trough!

#

I think you stepped on a mine

#

*now

#

*through

#

xD

distant lava
#

hey man I'm here to help other people so 🤷

unborn barn
#

Thanks for that, on behalf of everyone

loud pine
#

@distant lava i mean rapture or garrote spread poison on all target ?

unborn barn
#

@loud pine What even makes you think that?

distant lava
#

they don't

loud pine
#

nothing i just see 1x video and i sens

distant lava
#

fan of knives is your way to apply the poisons in aoe

unborn barn
#

and bleeds you apply manually 1 by 1

loud pine
#

can we in asaasin spread rapture buff on alll target or just rapture buff is on x1 target ? i want to know why in aoe rotation we use rapture and garrote

distant lava
#

you can use your bleeds on multiple targets

#

you have to apply each individually

#

of course you can have multiple active at the same time

real bay
#

dont bother with garrote on trash outside stealth with buffed gs

loud pine
#

this is aoe rotation =rapture on x1 target >fan of knives?

#

and how much need haste asasin spc?

distant lava
#

no haste for m+

loud pine
#

@distant lava so

#

which state have Priority in M_+

mental fiber
#

lots of good information there

#

probably answers most of your questions

vestal wren
#

the wowhead guide is more in detail

#

also keep in mind things might change with 8.2 essences, so probably wait a bit to see how they turn out

distant lava
#

yeah but this person had pretty basic questions, pretty sure the answers won't change in 8.2

waxen valve
#

So which accessible essence will be our first target at 2 weeks preseason period? (Before mecha and raid openings)

candid jasper
#

is 3x echo + 3x shroud the best combination this week?

strange python
#

Depends on dungeon and group

tropic ocean
#

@candid jasper I tried 3 ss 3 eb and while its very good for overall

#

I really feel like I lack dmg to kill down prioritized mobs so I changed back to 1 ss 3 eb 2ttk for most dungeons

#

and especially with chain pulling the ss traits lose value

rigid mango
#

Ttk is just too nice

ripe nimbus
#

I was messing around with a lucid dream venom rush/master poisoner double dose/TTK build on PTR pure ST it did decent

rigid mango
#

Did you compare it to regular tb build etc?

ripe nimbus
#

Nah I was just messing around

rigid mango
#

I mean I can imagine it feeling super smooth to play

tropic ocean
#

maybe master poisoner will get good some day again 😄

rigid mango
#

I just doubt that VR will ever out damage TB tbh

ripe nimbus
#

With enough mastery it will overtake EB at some point

#

What ever point that is I donno

rigid mango
#

I don't even think that's gonna happen tbh

ripe nimbus
#

EP*

rigid mango
#

Yeah, I doubt MP>EP

#

ever

ripe nimbus
#

It's only a 500 DPS loss for me right now

rigid mango
#

500 DPS is a lot though

ripe nimbus
#

That's 2% that's not "alot"

rigid mango
#

It's enough to make it better for the considerable future atleast

ripe nimbus
#

For reference at the start of BFA specing MP over EP was a 7% loss with the amount of mastery we have now it's only 2% I'd imagine by the end of the Xpac we will be using MP

sullen pagoda
#

i hope not

rigid mango
#

passive damage PogU

ripe nimbus
#

EP is just as passive lol

sullen pagoda
#

i think you need to reread definition of passive 🤔

rigid mango
ripe nimbus
#

Something I don't track and don't even remember it's there

#

Pretty passive

spare dust
#

Then youre just bad

rigid mango
#

I don't think that's entirely true either tbh

#

A lot of the time Ep uptime just comes naturally

ripe nimbus
#

Yep I'm bad

rigid mango
#

Also with a smoother rotation/higher apm play with lucid

#

EP is probably even better

#

Your uptime should be a bit higher anyways

sullen pagoda
#

man they need to buff up blindside and make it work with double dose

rigid mango
#

It'd be fun for sure

sullen pagoda
#

mop assa pepehands

rigid mango
#

Another button to press sounds nice

storm pumice
#

Imagine not having to pool

cobalt pelican
#

even though pooling is literally doing nothing if you didn't have to pool the spec would be even more boring than it already is

sullen pagoda
#

like fury war, you are just spamming buttons and none of them feel impactful

balmy cradle
#

Giving us kingsbane instead of poison bomb and making blindside baseline would be a nice spice up i guess

ripe nimbus
#

Wtf u mean hitting rampage is the best feeling button in the game smh

sullen pagoda
#

i dont feel it

#

you use it too often to feel good

#

look dfa felt good

ripe nimbus
#

Until u died

sullen pagoda
#

well there were some bugged hitboxes but with proper positioning it didnt matter

#

so its player thats pepega usually

ripe nimbus
#

Yes but every player has killed themselves with it ur a liar if u say u havent :)

sullen pagoda
#

ofc i have but it still doesnt change the fact that u just nut when u land big dfas

#

while as fury during battle cry you have like what 3 rampages and it doesnt really feel like you blasted

ripe nimbus
#

I have damage numbers completely off the size of the number has no affect on me

sullen pagoda
#

thats a pretty boring way to play the game considering how mind numbing rotations are

ripe nimbus
#

I pay attention to other things like the game

sullen pagoda
#

not much to pay attention to unless you take some time to intake information

ripe nimbus
#

Seeing how big ur Crit was isn't information u need tho

sullen pagoda
#

its not but its there to make game not boring af

#

like i have a stream usually open on 2nd screen anyway during farm

ripe nimbus
#

To each there own I don't get excited over numbers personally

balmy cradle
#

I think in the case of dmg numbers there is a lot of difference in feeling between some abilitys. Look at fist of fury and eyebeam. Basically the same thing but eyebeam imo feels so much better because there are so many numbers that come fast. Where as fist of fury doesnt feel fury at all feelscryman

ripe nimbus
#

Or u could turn numbers off and enjoy the animation beweak

balmy cradle
#

Sound does make a big difference too. Some abilitys just chunk and are nice to hear and some are just plain boring or annoying

#

Ofc you can was just an example for dmg numbers

distant lava
#

I think the case of dmg number and game enjoyment goes to #wow-general

sullen pagoda
#

pve is just too much of playing mechanically, raiding same thing after months of farm is mindlessly easy 🤷

rigid mango
#

There are no spec specific ones

compact hamlet
#

question for you guys... im currently assassination but with 8.2 ive seen alot of multi pulls questing in the new zones, would it be better for me to switch to outlaw if im primarily going to be focusing on those zones?

ripe nimbus
#

In the grand scheme of things it won't matter

#

Follow ur heart

compact hamlet
#

im currently like ilvl380, i dont raid other than lfr

wooden flax
#

Assassination has pretty good cleave too

#

I run sub + 1x SS, and I can mutil dot 3 mobs with garrotte and just FoK

#

you gain combo points pretty quick for you to put rupture on mobs and still cast envenom to finish... it's not outlaw level, but it does get the job done

rigid mango
#

No it's not outlaw level, it's better

wooden flax
#

I mean, mobs do die faster...

#

I am 413 assassination/outlaw, and honestly, I only play outlaw in M+

#

assassination is pretty good for general outdoor content

rigid mango
#

And does even more damage than outlaw ^_^

#

The diff is how much harder it is to minmax stats and pieces for sin

compact hamlet
#

i was primarily focused on ease of content for the najatar and efficiency

rigid mango
#

Outlaw is far easier to gear

compact hamlet
#

didnt want to be in a spot where im focusing on a pack of 2-3 while outlaws are running around gathering a mob and cleaving them down

royal lantern
#

.......get 1-2 eb and spamm fok

#

thats it

#

we talk about world content

spice surge
#

Get 3 echoing blade, then enable warmode with the fok honor talent and spec hidden blades

#

Then you'd do way more damage than if you played outlaw

compact hamlet
#

sounds like a good plan, thank you

waxen valve
#

I usually add MP/MA/LP too to Eleem's setup. Almost best 1 button aoe with no downtime for grouped mob packs.

tropic ocean
#

man they should give us flying daggers for m++ :>

vast forum
#

fok once, whole dungeon pulls

#

cuz of the increased radius + splash from eb

spice surge
#

You wouldnt use MP anyway

#

The damage gain from that would be abysmal, its like 1%

distant lava
#

LP ?

waxen valve
#

It is mostly for LP, 3 fok if any alive rupture for energy back. Legion shoulder style

tropic ocean
#

@vast forum imagine crit of the proc crits will chain

waxen valve
#

But i played some ptr sub/garrote would be better for starting. After you outleveled content that really shines.

spice surge
#

what do you even mean by lp

waxen valve
#

Leeching poison wtf cheat death

#

:)

#

For world content i mean

spice surge
#

lmao

waxen valve
#

And for mp theres no other talent useful at that row

spice surge
#

Well yeah, but you still wouldnt use MP just for that

#

2% leech isnt worth losing like 6-10% dmg

waxen valve
#

Ya youre right at starting because you know new content's mobs will have more hp

#

I use that setup for solo boe farm etc

distant lava
#

wait to people really swap talents for world content ?

wooden flax
#

sometimes... not very often

rigid mango
#

Apart from always running Sub for obv reasons

#

nah not really

fleet whale
#

i swap to leeching poison in World content from Cheat Death

#

that's about it though

distant lava
#

have you considered MfD if you're doing world stuff ?

fleet whale
#

tbh most things die in a couple hits so i don't switch to MfD in World content. Leeching helps if I'm soloing the bigger elite mobs

#

and it's just habit for me to use Leeching outside of raid/ M+

distant lava
#

yeah but exactly you walk to a dude

#

you mfd env his ass

waxen valve
#

Changing talents for 2 seconds. And no subterfuge target swap just 3 fok and way faster easy relaxed wq aoe farm. More comfortable. But especially nazjatar' mob packs not much suitable for this, not too much stacked :)

fleet whale
#

I would have to switch binds around for MfD, which i'm not gonna do for World content

modest tendon
#

Can I ask how much dps you guys do overall in assassination compared to when your playing outlaw? I do noticeably more in outlaw but I can’t figure out if it’s that I’m shit with assassination or it’s just the spec (use 3xEB, 2xTTK, 1xSS)

tropic ocean
#

I do +- 40k, sometimes up to 50k in ml/fh/ur with big pulls and padding a lot

#

with outlaw i was around 30kish +- but i have bad gear and never play it so 😄

pearl pagoda
#

depends on what level key youre doing, if its a meme 15 key you can do above 45-60k, but if youre doing a hard key around 20, 35-40k

modest tendon
#

Do closer to 40k in outlaw and 35-36 in ass, maybe I just play more carefully in assassination

tropic ocean
#

@pearl pagoda ? you will do higher dps in higher keys

pearl pagoda
#

in a 15 key you can pull a quarter of the dungeon at a time

modest tendon
#

Agree with @tropic ocean

tropic ocean
#

the pull sizes dont really vary

#

by key height

#

but trash lives significantly longer in higher keys

void bough
#

pve assa makes me wanna roll outlaw..but pvp outlaw makes me wanna roll assa feelscryman

pearl pagoda
#

not been my experience, my tank pulls a hell of a lot more during meme keys because we dont really die

#

pvp outlaw is actually painful

void bough
#

i think my only choice is /reroll dk lol

modest tendon
#

Why? @void bough frost buffs?

void bough
#

naw id still play UH if i went DK..was a joke cuz pve assa is terribly boring but pvp outlaw terrible

#

cant win pepehands

modest tendon
#

I like pve assassination, I like the steep learning curve to get good at it

#

But I’m probably a worse rogue than you 😛

ripe nimbus
#

Learning curve?

#

I'd put sin and outlul near the top of the easiest specs to play

#

Right up there with BM hunter

shy axle
#

well its subjectiv

#

there are a lot of nuances some can do wrong

#

some find it "harder", some not

#

no specc is that complicated anymore

balmy cradle
#

No specc should be complicated at its core

pearl pagoda
#

i just wish every class had its "non spec specific" abilities back like gouge

modest tendon
#

Homogenising everything is boring though

rigid mango
#

We already a bunch of same utility

shy axle
#

seems to be the case after ions youtube video

#

lets see

ripe nimbus
#

Gouge I feel is fine for just outlaw to have.

dark crag
#

My raid has 2 bm hunters and the 2nd bm never got close to the 1st bm. In a serious tone he asked if the other hunter has the pet attack ability macroed to all his attacks. Now they both are almost the same

#

Thats bm hunter for you

ripe nimbus
#

Hehe

distant mist
#

I thought that would be a given though :x

sonic spindle
#

Is there a general consensus for M+ on stacking shrouded vs echoing blades? I’m assuming at least one of each, but do we know if there’s one that does better for general trash pulls?

tropic ocean
#

only real exceptions to not going 2 or 3eb is tos/kr

#

you can play 3 eb 3 ss just fine but it loses value in chain pulls and isn't as effective as 2 ttk but overall ur highest output

frosty obsidian
#

hi sorry you probably get this q a million times but is it worth to run ct for reaping instead of pb?

rigid mango
#

Nop

#

Pb is just better

frosty obsidian
#

thanks boss 😃

vast forum
#

if you're looking purely at reaping, HB is best

grim canopy
#

which essence for primary

civic palm
#

🔮

red plaza
tribal marlin
#

Lucid dream is easy to get and strong enough

#

Vision of perfectio nis buged so we can't test

#

Unbound force have no real synergy with the spec but is ok by itself (and easy to get)

frosty obsidian
#

if i am doing only m+, is it better to just play outlaw?

stuck knoll
#

None of those are confirmed we'll see what's best when sims come out

pale dew
#

@frosty obsidian for the rest of this season or next season? Cause if you're finishing this season, then outlaw for sure. But next season outlaw def will be a little less strong with no reaping. So assass will def become bit more meta.

#

One of the best rogues in m+ plays sin this season so both are def still good.

frosty obsidian
#

thanks, guess ill just stay sin and see what happens after 8.2

#

just came back since early s1

wooden flax
#

@frosty obsidian They changed the trait that made outlaw good for reaping. Wits in 8.2 procs per blade furry, where as now it procs per enemy hit

#

Hence you see in MDI, outlaw just hits blade furry and spam sinister strike like nothing, doing up to 100k dps on big reaping waves

#

with that change, and new affix, the meta could change 😄

royal lantern
#

its somewhat naive if you think that reaping alone is the reason why outlaw is strong lol

#

the aoe is still fking nuts, its just slightly slower now

#

and gouge, not needing stealth on pull on rogue and vanish as a deff cd etc.....

spice surge
#

Also, the wits nerf is less than a 2% nerf

#

And a substantial buff (~3%) on 2 targets

wooden flax
#

not saying that it is the only reason.

#

shroud is, in my opinion, one of the reason the new affix now has true sight

spice surge
#

Only the void ones do afaik

wooden flax
#

watch blizz intentionally put the void one in places people skip the most, ie. bridge in KR

marble hemlock
#

with the count-increase to KR, youre not gonna skip anything anyway

#

you can only skip a single pck now

strange python
#

so.... i'm hearing different things about haste and mastery... should i be more concerned with getting more haste, or should i be shooting for around 40% mastery?

pearl pagoda
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
royal lantern
#

haste is good for raids, mastery is good for dungeons

tepid ridge
#

is there any place where we could read the essences effects etc? it's for making wa purposes not "what's the most OP" or w/e ^^

#

I have issues founding something decent ^^

strange python
#

Wowhead has all the essences plus how to get them. Google is hard.

tepid ridge
#

Being nice aswell I guess. Thanks.

grim canopy
#

Are there any good sin m+ streamers

royal lantern
#

seliathan in this discord is streaming quite often

grim canopy
#

how much crit do i need to do sin aoe

visual quartz
#

all of it

grim canopy
#

lol

white basalt
#

Tryin to scrape by and get CE. Would I be gimping raid by not going outlaw for jaina?

drifting cloud
vapid scarab
#

no? whatever spec you play that does the most ST is going to be best for jaina

stuck knoll
#

Outlaw is better at padding on Jaina just cuz the top logs on Jaina are Outlaw doesn't mean it's better

#

Like 30-40% of their damage is blade flurry

#

It used to be closer but with the changes sin is just clearly better

white basalt
#

Ok thanks boys wish me luck

vocal kelp
#

Does unstable flames gain value in m+ or is like overwhelming power just better

polar cape
#

Crit is better for aoe

#

OP is better on bosses

placid dew
#

not so sure about clearly better, but we shall see

frosty obsidian
#

does SS reset when u apply it after u do 3x in subterfuge? used to be bugged in s1, is it fixed?

vocal kelp
#

its fixed

drifting cloud
#

yes its been fixed for like 9 months

frosty obsidian
#

thanks lol havent played in time

white forum
#

Sorry if this is the wrong channel but I've been gone since 8.0 and was wondering what the best spec to go for mythic+, is Outlaw still top in mythic+

cerulean walrus
tribal marlin
#

outlaw and assa are both good in mythic+ scenario. Outlaw might be easier to gear than assa tho

cobalt gyro
#

outlaw is very much easier to gear for sin

#

since you eitehr need to be rich as fuck with really good pieces, and reforge for every situation

#

or have 3-4 sets

peak saffron
#

have sims for essences been done yet? or are we waiting until changes are 100% done?

lone junco
#

whey they are done, you will be able to see charts on herodamage

wary ice
#

in tyr keys is it worth grabbing a bit more haste than what is reccommended for pure aoe stat priorities?

solar rose
#

Depends on the build / dungeon, generally it's better to gear for 90% of the dungeon(trash) instead of the bosses, unless you're not worried about time and more so worried about living the boss.

short pivot
#

I tried switching from 3xeb 2xss 1xttk to 3ss 2eb for tyr, i found it being not worth since you do 2-3k more dps on bosses than the other dps but in aoe you suffer and my total ended up dropping from 30-34k to 28k whichh i found displeasing so sticking with 3eb i guess

solar rose
#

I'm really enjoying 3eb 2ttk 1ss in majority of dungeons, it's nice not being tilted when people chain pull when I ran 3ss

midnight flower
#

2 ss 2 eb 2 ttk

#

Balanced af

feral knot
#

so do we have a guid on what essences will be best for on on tuesday?

tropic ocean
#

no

#

they are not live

severe bough
#

Even if no real info is posted

#

Which essence you think i should aim first?

#

Especially on day/week one?

hidden plinth
#

bote and lucid drems

sacred rose
#

Hello I have a little question about Aoe, In a nice aoe pack should I use as many rupture as possible or is there a sort of cap when I should start using envenom instead of rupture ?

tropic ocean
#

only as much rupture to sustain energy to spam fok

#

so 4-5

#

in opener 3x garrote 2x rupture and u will be fine until garrote runs out

severe bough
#

Thanks

short pivot
#

also if u playing EB, throw in a rup or env with ttk from time to time before big fok spam

distant lava
#

if you do that for the EP window , it's not worth it

short pivot
#

idk man not the EP window per se but sometimes the buffed fok after env on prio target hits rly hard

#

so EP+ttk buff = stronger fok after seems rly nice in some situations

distant lava
#

I mean sure if you want to dmg a prio target down ofc you env

short pivot
#

it rly depends on pack size etc..

distant lava
#

but if they are many targets that you want to spam fok on just keep bleeds up so you're neutral on energy then spam fok like a madman

short pivot
#

yeah idk im in more of the add more ruptures camp with EB

#

EP*

#

love how it plays out

distant lava
#

see it that way

#

even if you fit

#

4 foks inEP

#

you get 40% fok dmg + the dmg of the finisher

#

from that global

#

if you just fok instead you get 100% fok dmg

#

which in the case of big packs (basically when you want to spam fok) , the finisher will not make up for the 60% of fok dmg you lose

short pivot
#

i cant support my claim with math tbh but for instance what i do is i rupture the first time after ggg then i spam fok and after 5-6 of EP falling off i add a rup or envm then spam fok

#

also if u rup a low hp add in addition to the EP u get a full energy bar and etc..

distant lava
#

rupturing a target if you need energy is necessary and you should do it

#

I'm just talking about the weaving in a ttk env in there if you don't want prio dmg

short pivot
#

yeah idk man one env on an aadd that has more hp and needs to die faster is always needed in most situations

#

or lost soul or w/e

distant lava
#

yeah that's what I'm saying, if you want prio dmg, you env the target with more hp

#

but if you want pure aoe dmg (maybe on a pack where mobs all have the same base hp for example) it's not worth to do the envenom

short pivot
#

yeah cant disagree to that but idk how to explain the feel of it its always highly situational

unborn vapor
#

Is vision of perfection with 3 traits of NP not looking desirable? Seems proccing a ~70k bleed would be good.

#

Unless i guess when vendetta procs it doesnt trigger NP.

polar steppe
#

hi guys does nothing personal double stack give me anything whatsoever?

worldly iron
#

more damage on the dot

bleak spoke
#

It’s a lot of damage

tribal marlin
#

It does but only for 35% of the duration. Also it's currently bugged on PTR so it's hard to say if it's good or no

stuck knoll
#

How's it bugged?

tribal marlin
#

there is a bug that prevent regular Vendetta cast to trigger NP when using Vision of perfection

#

so Vision Procs does apply NP for 35% of duration, but regular vendetta no longer apply NP (edit: once Vision proced once, and persist even if you swap th essence. Only way to fix it is to relog)...

stuck knoll
#

Oh that is weird

#

Hadn't heard of that

sullen pagoda
#

Can someone confirm it please

#

If that goes live...

tribal marlin
#

Go on ptr and see, at the start Vision was procing NP for it's full duration

#

then they modify it so it only proc 35% of duration, but since then there is the bug

#

was still here yesterday but maybe it got hotfixed with today's hotfix

#

The essence is gated with season3 start and OP:Mechagon so there is still 2 week for theim to fix this

unborn vapor
#

Hopefully it gets fixed. Even at 35% it's still a~20k dot over 7 ish seconds

tribal marlin
#

Tbh I don't like it. Proc rate is lame (sometime it proc 2 time in 5sec so it's almost useless because it doesn't refresh NP dot, sometime it doesn't proc at all for 2mn, sometime it procs when you have 0 energy...)

rigid mango
#

I would've just assumed they made it so NP is only as long as vend

tribal marlin
#

And it also desynch Ventta and Vanish/2m trinkets

rigid mango
#

Yeah, that was an issue from the start

tribal marlin
#

Since Lucid dream is now sync with Vendetta CD

#

it's active ability is now pretty god for assa

rigid mango
#

Having the minor is sorta like either playing without a minor or losing value

#

Yeah, it looks pretty aight

#

Just a bit boring

tribal marlin
#

Not that boring, it reduce pooling and downtime by like ... a lot xD

rigid mango
#

It's boring

#

Doesn't do much

spice surge
#

Idk i still dont think the active of lucid looks very strong, since you're already mostly gcd capped during bl

rigid mango
#

Just higher apm and smoother spec, which is nice for sure, but it doesn't bring much

spice surge
#

Although the minor looks like a given

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

Idk it just looks something you wont play around

spice surge
#

Obv where you dont have bl it will allow a couple more globals during vendetta

rigid mango
#

Just more of a QoL thing

tribal marlin
#

No it does increase damage

#

it's not just qol thing

rigid mango
#

Yeah obviously

tribal marlin
#

but ye I get your point

rigid mango
#

But it's nothing interestinf

#

If it didn't give dps we wouldn't touch it ResidentSleeper

#

Eleem, when do you think we'll use it during vend

#

The major

spice surge
#

I mean, its 15s so it covers most of it

tribal marlin
#

it's active makes you GCD capped during the whole vendetta + next TB (if using at a wisely moment)

spice surge
#

And you dont need it for the first 3 seconds of vendetta when you have the vend regen

#

So

tribal marlin
#

It's passiv makes you GCD capped during TB most of the time

rigid mango
#

Just after that?

#

Lose out on a vend gcd for it

#

Sounds aight

spice surge
#

Idk, is it on gcd?

tribal marlin
#

yes it is

rigid mango
#

Uhh good question actually

#

I aasumed it was

tribal marlin
#

basically you should (unless high rng on passif proc) hitting 0 energy right after the TB

#

use it at this moment (you don't loose a global)

#

then you keep being GCD capped without really overcap the energy, and it will remain until the next TB cast.

spice surge
#

Idk we will probably end up using it, since most other essences have been gutted and/or align poorly with vanish

tribal marlin
#

ye :/ unfortunately it's the only essence that have 2mn cd ....

unborn vapor
#

What does lucid dream do again? Im holding my kiddo and being lazy lol

tribal marlin
#

Active : Increase all source of energy refund by 100% (including poisonous bleed and following passiv) (15sec, 2mn cd)
Passiv : Chance on hit to refund 50% of the energy spent.

unborn vapor
#

Oh dang. So tons more energy then. Anything to speed the spec up im okay with lol

royal lantern
#

it will not really speed up the spec tbh

#

unless dumping energy into envenom is that much of a change for you

tribal marlin
#

You'll still have pooling downtime

royal lantern
#

you will probably still want too safe energy for the next tb etc.....

tribal marlin
#

Less pooling and more suited TB (no shit timing with dot going to fade etc...) but the core of pooling ressource outside of TB windows will still be here

spice surge
#

Tbh looking at it more it doesnt even seem good. Looking through my logs im casting 15 or 16 spells during my vendettas without BL (so 15/16 out of 19 available gcds)

#

Sure getting another envenom and 2 mutilates extra in every vendetta i dont have bl isnt worthless, its just not very impactful. Although having a full energy bar afterwards is fairly good

bleak spoke
#

That being said with good pooling and a bit of luck you can get three envs in your second Tb to begin with

spice surge
#

But i'd wager i would be able to fit 17 or 18 with simply the minor of lucid

#

So its more like 1 muti+env and a full energy bar afterwards

#

But like, is getting 1 more envenom and 1 muti buffed by vendetta worth more than having 35% more crit damage and 25% more crit on your tb+vendetta spells? My gut instinct says no

bleak spoke
#

^

#

The extra crit alone might end up meaning extra envenoms

#

Man like the more I look at the essence choices the more it seems like we’re actually just playing nightstalker and doing blood major with vop minor and living with a weird 1:40 cd

tribal marlin
royal lantern
#

''they are the same picture meme''

tribal marlin
#

If you look closely you'll se higher sustainer dps on lucid, but higher burst on guardian

#

(both picture are around same dmg)

bleak spoke
#

I mean like

bleak spoke
#

like in the first one you have 85% of mutis cast in env buff and the second one you have 80%

#

you really can't compare the two

edgy ember
#

is there an estimate for what essence would be good on assa?

stuck knoll
#

Tbh Lettuce I don't see you running vision if you're not running the major

#

Or it'll be the 65 slot

tribal marlin
#

Should I have 100% of muts cast in the env window ?

bleak spoke
#

bro like, your opener is inaccurate

tribal marlin
#

I don't pretend playing perfectly

bleak spoke
#

no but the difference is pretty different

tribal marlin
#

ok no this one is shit

bleak spoke
#

like in a good log on live without essences on a big st fight <82% is a giga parse

tribal marlin
#

forget about last one

#

there are BL and all shit

bleak spoke
#

err >82%*

#

@stuck knoll yeah i forgot, need neck levels ugh

tribal marlin
#

Well that also what Lucid dream (mostly passiv effect) do or at least make easier to do (more mut in env buff)

bleak spoke
#

that's the point i was making it's hard to compare

#

especially since dd procs are the most rng part of assa dam

#

and even on live it's like top 3 sources of damage on a good log

tribal marlin
#

Also the guardian is strong in a real situation since as you said is hardly doable to have that much uptime on a real mythic boss

#

better burst windows are usually more suitable with real fights where you have time after a transition to fully do your CD rotation before shit mecahnics come .

bleak spoke
#

the point i'm trying to make is like it's hard to imagine a world where you get more out of lucid major than lucid minor

#

regardless

tribal marlin
#

Ye I definitly agree with you. Unfortunately I couldn't test Major + Minor combo on PTR so I only tested essence as Major

#

but at least for the first week if I had to choose one it would probably be this one

stuck knoll
#

Well sims will be out soon hopefully so we won't need to rely on tests to know whats best

tribal marlin
#

Doing tests make me hyped for the patch :3

I was really excited when they removed portals so I could travel long forgotten continents again

I can't wait to bring my assa rouge the glory of old days

#

yes traveling around the world for 30min is immersive and its fun ask classic players omegalul

daring basalt
#

I am leveling rogue atm. When I hit 120 should I go for ass or outlaw? for pve

rigid mango
#

Both are very godo

#

down to personal pref

#

Outlaw is easier to gear, assa has more specialization

grim canopy
#

is assa as hard as they say to gear?

rigid mango
#

It's a pain to maximise, yeah

#

The fact that there's more or less 2 sets you need, one for m+ and raid

#

and even then, you swap pieces depending on encounter and pieces depending on affixes/dungeons

shy axle
#

saying a mix of SS/EB/TK for dungeons and DD/NP/TK/SS for raids sounds a lot more accesible

rigid mango
#

I mean

feral knot
#

i like assasination sure outlaw can be fun i just dont like roll the bones

rigid mango
#

Ttk isn't even taht good for raid

#

Thing is, there's more than azerite

grim canopy
#

I guess while playing outlaw i will eventually get the gear w/ the right azerite to switch to assassin

rigid mango
#

Stat pieces in general, trinkets

#

EVERYTHING

sullen pagoda
#

cant wait for that SS ruinous bolt chest as my 1st one in new season

#

i cant escape it

rigid mango
#

Can't wait for sang monstrosity x3 before getting goraks

shy axle
#

still it is a okayish trait you wouldn`t say no to under the right circumstances

#

see cephalo

#

ye man you are right

#

hoping for gorak a little bit earlier this time

rigid mango
#

TTK is subpar

#

the only thing that makes cepha better is op

sullen pagoda
#

ceph is overwhelming power carrying the chest

shy axle
#

if it stays the "go to". Still wondering if the essences will shake up the assa azerit "raid meta"

rigid mango
#

It's not ttk

#

It's far from bad

#

but I wouldn't put it in the top traits with dd/np/ss

#
  • bbi
shy axle
#

yes thats why i said under the right circumstances in regards to ceph

sullen pagoda
#

all in all gearing assa is pain af

rigid mango
#

That's still like, weird

#

Cuz it's still not ttk

#

It's op.

shy axle
#

well, you do you man, no problem. Still it is the combination of all - there is still a line how far op can carry the piece

#

okayish, like I said. Just feels like everyone jumps on the wording without reading it properly just to point out "Thats wrong"

#

chill my dudes

rigid mango
#

I'm not jumping on it

#

You just count ttk in the top traits, which is incorrect

#

It's on the basis of that another trait carries the piece to the point of BiS

#

It's not ttk being good enough to warrant BiS status, it's the fact that OP is so good

cobalt pelican
#

blighted tribe gang

#

it was my first 2 in bod

rigid mango
#

That's why everytime people ask for BiS tratis

#

I specify cepha and the reason behind it, so people don't think going around picking TTK is a good overall choice when there're better options

shy axle
#

i said it is okayish, counting it in under the right circumstances

#

people just need to read it

#

but fine

rigid mango
#

"saying a mix of SS/EB/TK for dungeons and DD/NP/TK/SS for raids sounds a lot more accesible"

#

I'm just saying, that's a very blanket statement

#

If you specify cepha

shy axle
#

thats why i wrote more

rigid mango
#

All gucci gang

shy axle
#

to it

#

ye all fine, no prob

Anyone have an idea about what essence we should be aiming for (pve raid/dungeons). I know the are constantly changing numbers but any thoughts?

Lucid it looks like

For raid, that is, for m+ it looks like blood, but could be anything tbh

steel wagon

i like the pvp one.

rigid mango

@vague eagle Essentially never atm, possibly with the new essences but its doubtful

#

thanks for the quick answer 😃

untold current
#

Been outlaw in m+ this whole patch. Whats the ideal traits 3EB.1 TTK and 2 SS? Or some mix like that?

rigid mango
#

2/2/2

#

3 ttk/eb 2 ttk/eb 1 ss

untold current
#

And aoe rotation is same? 3-4 targets just keep ruptures, fok for cps and envenom? Big packs rupture 2 - 3 targets, then fok with EP buff?

rigid mango
#

More or less, sure

untold current
#

Anyone have a good guide for reference?

#

M+ only obviously

rigid mango
#

Nope, I'm afraid not

#

Not that I know of

#

Maybe the wowhead guide has it there? but I doubt it

untold current
#

dont think so

rigid mango
#

It's more or less

#

2 target muti for cp fok for dmg
3-4 fok for build and finish on prio target(s)
5+ fok spam unless you have prio target to pump envenoms into

untold current
#

so for 2 target - go garrote 2 target, muti for cp's into 2 ruptures, then fok?

#

garrote with SS

rigid mango
#

Yeah always ss so

#

uhh sorta like

#

0-2 cp muti, 3 cp fok, 4-5 finish

#

Since fok deals more dmg, but muti is way better at gaining cp

untold current
#

right

rigid mango
#

You garrote 3x -> rup -> build -> rup -> build env

#

3-4 is just garroting 3 thinsg, rupture on 2, build w fok spend with env on higher prio target(s)

untold current
#

Gotya

#

And 4+? Still rupture for regen?

rigid mango
#

5+ you garrote 3 and rupture 2x

#

5 bleeds = inf energy

#

you don't garrote though, unless empowered

#

So no garrotes after the first 3

#

You just decide whether to spam fok or just pump env damgae into prio target

vapid scarab
#

don't forget you can rupture snipe stuff to as it's dying for more energy

untold current
#

but u want to envenom for the EP buff tho right?

rigid mango
#

Not really

untold current
#

even for big foks

rigid mango
#

You space your ruptures out

#

after getting all your bleeds

untold current
#

ohhh ya rupture gives ep

#

duhh

rigid mango
#

The first ones you do as fast as possible though

#

But when you have inf energy, and garrotes are falling off soon

#

you start to space your ruptures out

#

to get ep and keep energy reg up

#

and like he said, sniping low hp targets with rup ends up with energy influx and you can keep on spamming

untold current
#

Good info, thanks for it

rigid mango
#

Gl 😃

fleet acorn
#

Is there a situation where we need to apply the unempowered garrotes ? I mean, except for the 2-target cleave. In this season it doesn't really matter, but i struggled with it a lot in s1

#

on 3-5 targets is it worth it?

rigid mango
#

No

fleet acorn
#

or just stick to ruptures and wait for vanish

#

ok, thanks

fleet whale
#

So since it's likely that we'll have to use the crucible of Flame essence at least for the first raid night, you think it will just be fire on CD?

rigid mango
#

I've not seen any sims suggesting we wont be taking lucid yet

fleet whale
#

i'm talking about the first day

#

of the patch lol

rigid mango
#

Oh

#

You said first raid night so I was confused a bit

#

I don't see a reason not to

fleet whale
#

i meant first raid night when the patch comes out, so BFD

rigid mango
#

Ah kk

fleet whale
#

it's kind of weird to use im gonna be honest

#

at least on opener, cause it costs no energy

rigid mango
#

I mean is it on the GCD?

#

I'd assume so

fleet whale
#

yes

rigid mango
#

Then idk

#

Idk if it's worth while casting during vend

fleet whale
#

it's probably fine to use mid fight

rigid mango
#

It'd be worthwhile casting if you're pooling

fleet whale
#

just the opener with all of our resources overflowing

spice surge
#

Last time i checked none of the dmg essences were affected by vendetta damage bonus

#

So you probably use it before and then vendetta

rigid mango
#

Oh really?

icy ember
#

which ability you talking about? the first night of the raid

spice surge
#

Wednesday

rigid mango
#

Flame essence

fleet whale
#

the first essence you get

spice surge
#

As in, this wednesday (or tues if NA) where you wont have access to all the new ones

#

Since they require rep/new raid kills/lots of pvp etc

icy ember
#

interesting

fleet whale
#

lucid is possible to get before the new raid launches, i doubt you can get it the first day the patch comes out though

icy ember
#

what does lucid require?

rigid mango
#

Quests

fleet whale
#

bodyguard to level 3

rigid mango
#

Rep shit

fleet whale
#

so basically doing dailies and WQs in Nazjatar

#

with your bodyguard

icy ember
#

so there really isn't any difficult to get essence

fleet whale
#

no, some just take more time

vapid scarab
#

the r4s are the ones that are supposed to be difficult

#

and they're cosmetic

icy ember
#

i hope the r4s are worth it

rigid mango
#

If you care about visuals, sure

icy ember
#

hell ye KKool

rigid mango
#

If we get a good azshara kill I'ma be rocking taht one purely for flex reasons

icy ember
#

is there anywhere that shows what the rank 4 cosmetics are for rogues?

rigid mango
#

Not seen any, no

#

Ask in transmog/wow general and see if anyone knows

fleet whale
#

they are probably universal for all classes

tardy jay

any rogue specific guides up for essence?

Not yet

tribal marlin
#

Maybe just dive into a few bg and get Blood of the enemy ?

#

Its not "a few bgs" though

rigid mango
#

It

spice surge
#

Its a lot of bgs

rigid mango
#

is a good few

#

It's a fuckton of bgs

tribal marlin
#

well for rank 1 I'm pretty sure you only need to win 1 RBG, 1BG and 1 pvp island

rigid mango
#

Aye

spice surge
#

Well rank one isnt very powerful

tribal marlin
#

still better than flame rank1 I assume

#

for day 1 purpose

spice surge
#

Idk im not so sure

fleet whale
#

i think it's kind of funny that rank one has a 2 min cd yet after that it's a 1.5 min cd. It makes sense but i feel like sin rogues would prefer 2 mins just cause of vendetta lol

onyx rock
#

I think its win a pvp Island/bg/whatever IN season 3. So no day 1 use anyways

spice surge
#

Nah it has nothing to do with seasons

vast forum
#

"becomes unobtainable in season 4"

i dont want to grind for Blood of the enemy ):

putting essence in BGs is mean

You think you dont, but you do

doing pvp in wow after playing actual pvp games oof

should i use 3 SS for raid?

how hard is getting 3 EB

hello

looking to go full time Ass in 8.2

#

all in Ass

austere ruin
#

what do u guys think of the new essecnce "vision of perfection"

#

stack 3 X NP

#

to me seems one of the best essence

grim canopy
#

Lucid

spice surge
#

Idk man, lucid seems garbage to me, idk why people say it looks amazing

rigid mango
#

Lucid seems good thanks to the minor less so major

spice surge
#

You're already casting 15 of the 19 globals in vendetta

strange python
#

Just get lucky and get all your bis azerite right away @grim canopy

spice surge
#

With lucid you get 18 globals in vendetta

strange python
#

It's easy bro

grim canopy
#

How about one of the dmg ones? 2min cd

spice surge
#

The minor probably makes it 16 without the major, so youre essentially getting 1-2 mutilates and/or 0-1 envenoms

#

And then a full energy bar after vendetta, but that doesnt seem worth it compared to other things

rigid mango
#

Idk what's gonna be bette rtho

austere ruin
#

i say "vision of perfection"

spice surge
#

Does vision still apply a full NP? or is it like 35% duration?

austere ruin
#

it should

rigid mango
#

it's small

#

aslong as vend

#

6-7 sec afaik

#

got nerfed

austere ruin
#

so it got nerf...

#

sigh

spice surge
#

All of them got nerf hard kayo

strange python
#

It is lil boi NP now

grim canopy
#

for m+ which essence instead of VOP

#

as major

rigid mango
#

Blood

spice surge
#

Blood easily for m+

rigid mango
#

Probs

#

I don't see any other being better

spice surge
#

Tbh i think blood will be the goto for ST too, especially with the new crit pots, unless they hard nerfed those too. Either that or like the focusing iris bullshit

rigid mango
#

Afaik untouched

#

but not checked

harsh sphinx
#

plus dagger from first boss, rejoice. Sinscheme

vast forum
#

tbh, with hero/lust, you can have 20 globals in vendetta, as its gcd gets reduced by haste

spice surge
#

Well yeah, but you get that regardless of lucid or not

grim canopy
#

I been watching sin M+ vids damn bro the aoe is way crazier than i thought

spice surge
#

And also, lucid major is on the gcd afaik

#

So you only get 19 then

vast forum
#

yea i meant in your "16 of 19" thing 😄

#

you can lucid then vendetta? 😄

spice surge
#

Or if you use it before you waste a fuckload of energy

vast forum
#

ye tru

#

probably not worth

strange python
#

It is very good with 3eb and big crit

grim canopy
#

i did sin all of legion in m+ i loved it but it looks crazier now

spice surge
#

But like the 16/19 thing is only relevant outside of bl when comparing lucid, since you dont have empty globals during vendetta+bl anyway

#

@rigid mango Ye focused resolve pot still untouched, 20% crit for 25s is pretty bonkers

#

Thats like having your blightborne be guaranteed poggers

rigid mango
#

Seems giga strong

spice surge
#

It is cancelled if you attack another target though

rigid mango
#

ye ik

spice surge
#

But assa doesnt do that anyway so we gucci

strange python
#

"Damaging a new target"

#

What uhhh exactly does this wording mean

rigid mango
#

aint it scuffed like

#

auto attacking them

spice surge
#

Idk

strange python
#

Hmm

#

Real noodle scratcher

austere ruin
#

what do u guys think of the trinket in Eternal Palace?

#

for ass

tribal marlin
#

sorry didn't see it has been said

tawny shell
#

lucid dreams feels good actually on ST

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

I can bet

tawny shell
#

blood of the enemy burst is insane

glacial jasper
#

Even after the nerf hammer

#

?

#

5 sec only allows at best 3 globals

tawny shell
#

your envenom with MA is very large

grim canopy
#

with no more reaping will 3x eb still be good

rigid mango
#

Reaping isn't as much as you think it is, I think

#

It'll come down to how much damage you need for the beguiling adds more than lack of reap

grim canopy
#

so EB still good on 4 targets ?

rigid mango
#

eb is good at 2 targets

#

just not always

glacial jasper
#

@tawny shell yea it’s just that at best you will get one envenom

#

On the debuff I mean

reef peak
#

Any idea on what Essence is BiS or we all still fuckin clueless?

rigid mango
#

Lucid for ST, blood for m+

dull osprey
#

Whats the advantage of running sin > outlaw in m+? I know that outlaw is insane cleave, so is it based on team comp? When does sin out perform outlaw in AoE situations (using EB and bleeds)

rigid mango
#

Is the general consensus atm

#

sin has a higher dps ceiling

#

Sin has the function of prio target damage

reef peak
#

Triple Echoing can do just as good as Outlaw

dull osprey
#

So with god tier crit

rigid mango
#

It's just under outlaw

#

You have to realise both are insane atm

#

every other dps spec is far beneth both

reef peak
#

I restored 2 items that had echoing blades so i could get triple echoing and I can do like 150k dps with reaping up

dull osprey
#

do I need trip echo for it to be worth using?

rigid mango
#

No

#

You can run 3ttk and be valuable in toher ways

reef peak
#

2 is decent but 3 is where its at for insane aoe

tribal marlin
#

I just noticed something on PTR with lucid dream passiv

#

when having lucid dream minor passiv, pooling is not something you want to do

reef peak
#

i run 3 EB, 2 TtK and 1 SS

cool... been pigeon holed as outlaw with friends and need some spice in my life, know what I'm sayin

tribal marlin
#

you have to, at least keeping around 100 energy in order to be able to do 2/4mut in TB but you really don't want to pool more, because the more time you spent pooling, the less time you spend casting and thus the less Lucid dream proc you get

dull osprey
#

How much crit do we want (inb4 all of it)?

rigid mango
#

35%

#

Is a good aim

dull osprey
#

.>

rigid mango
#

After that I put all of it into mastery

#

and haste is garbage

#

i'm running 5% atm

reef peak
#

Im kinda newish to Rogue, Is pooling just auto attacking til you have a lot of energy back?

#

Really? I'm at 25% Crit 20% Haste and 28% Mastery

tribal marlin
#

basically outside of Vendetta/TB windows, you don't want to spent ressource for nothing

rigid mango
#

Haste is poopie

#

monkaW pinging someone else

#

like

#

as soon as you reach 3 targets you get inf energy nearly instantly

#

aka 5 bleeds

tribal marlin
#

so you want to use Mutilate only if you have evenom buff. So basically you will go to a certain amount of energy, use an evenom, spent some energy for 1-2mut then start pooling again

rigid mango
#

For m+ that is @reef peak

reef peak
#

Im more worried about raid

rigid mango
#

It's good for raid

reef peak
#

Cause I just have an awful time playing Sin if I have no haste

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

2 sets my dude

#

I've got 3 sets, 2 for sin 1 for otl

reef peak
#

damn

#

Doest matter. Gotta rebuild it tuesday 😛

rigid mango
#

Yep

#

Still looks like outlaw might be top, but we'll have to see

grim canopy
#

but gotta kill those beguiling dudes fast

reef peak
#

I switched from Pally like a month ago. So im still trying to figure shit out

grim canopy
#

sin is better for that i thought

rigid mango
#

Outlaw can have perma 2 buff

#

or close to, anyways

#

Regardless, sin look poten

#

potent

grim canopy
#

does benethic gear include azerite

rigid mango
#

yes, buit limited at 415

grim canopy
#

Random traits?

rigid mango
#

it's all there

#

just google it my dude

grim canopy
#

mk

#

i liked leggos better than traits lol

rigid mango
#

Unlucky

dull osprey
#

Am I basically just spamming FoK and rupture on as many targets I can tab target to then maintaining those bleeds and getting an envenom when ever I can?

rigid mango
#

2t: 0-2 cp muti, 3 cp fok, 4-5 finish
3-4t: spread bleeds, build with fok pump envenoms into prio target(s)
5t+: spread bleeds, mongo fok and ignore finishers unless it's to refresh bleeds with ruptures, if there's an obivous prio target, pump envenoms into said target instead

#

Rupture snipe often to gain an influx of energy

dull osprey
#

coo

river vessel
#

anyone update on what essence is looking to best for ST right now?

rigid mango
#

Lucid

bronze kelp
#

@dull osprey you usually want to have 4-5 bleeds running, for constant energy reg in aoe situations

dull osprey
#

Dang that seems hard keeping garrote and rupt up on those targets

raw gull
#

Sup y'all, what it do

Patch 8.2 Changes
There are several changes coming to Engineering along with many other profession in Patch 8.2.
The maximum skill level of Zandalari and Kul Tiran Engineering is increasing to 175 (Old cap was 150).
Most of the new patterns will require you to level up your skill level to this new cap in order to craft the best gear.
New Recipes for Notorious Combatant gear (370 item level).
New Recipes for The Eternal Palace raid-level Azerite Engineering goggles (415/430/445 item level).
Scrapping Eternal Palace raid-level crafted gear refunds slightly less the amount of Expulsom spent to craft it.
The ability to craft raid quality gear is unlocked by completing the Abyssal Focus quests.
Engineering googles do not have a socket, but are 5 item levels higher than most equivalent crafting gear.

#

just about the goggles not having a socket... implying that other helms do? is that a change?

modest jasper
#

I don't think there are other crafted helmets besides the engineering ones.

bronze kelp
#

@reef peak you dont keep garrote on all targets. in aoe situation you triple garrote at the start with subterfudge bonus and then only if the enemycount gets 3 or lower

modest jasper
dull osprey
#

@bronze kelp ahhh. That explains why I was constantly swapping targets, not doing anything other than rupt and garrote

#

Thanks!

bronze kelp
#

no problem 😉

dull osprey
#

I did, but probably missed the flashing neon sign 😂

severe raven
#

so whats the best build for sin m+?

rigid mango
#

any mix of eb/ss/ttk

severe raven
#

3x ss?

rigid mango
#

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

#

3 SS works in kr

#

Wouldn't take it anywhere else

severe raven
#

whats ttk?

rigid mango
#

Twist the knife

severe raven
#

oh really?

rigid mango
#

Yes

severe raven
#

and what about build? has it changed?

rigid mango
#

You're gonna have to specify from what previous one

severe raven
#

master assin > subterfuge?

rigid mango
#

Never MA

#

always sub

severe raven
#

i used to play many months ago. and the build was 3x ss + subterfuge etc

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

You always want atleast one SS

#

and always running sub

severe raven
#

sang over toxic?

rigid mango
#

Toxic always

severe raven
#

so bizare

#

im used to 3x ss and just pre dotting everything

#

with 3x garrotes etc

rigid mango
#

That's what you do now?

severe raven
#

oh so it doesnt change but dont stack 3x ss

#

neat

#

whats eb?

rigid mango
#

It's the same thing aslong as you're running ss and sub

#

Echoing blades

#

Fok trait

severe raven
#

and for raid?

rigid mango
#

Check WCL, copy what people are running

severe raven
#

dude i have so many azerite gear sets in my bag this whole system is poop

nimble tartan
#

alright gamers whats the gameplan when 8.2 drops

#

we doin pvp islands all day?

rigid mango
#

Doubt it

winter moss
#

we are doing the same thing as every night

#

grinding a virtual currency for progress we will never see or feel for accomplishments that never existed

grim canopy
#

wait why pvp islands?

#

pvp in this game is shit we gotta do taht?

meager nebula
#

Could be

#

Depends what essences come out on top on the sims

bronze kelp
#

i hate it to be force to do content I dont like. as it would be if the pvp essence shines on top 😦

rigid mango
#

I don't see any other being as good in m+

#

So to pvp we go

bronze kelp
#

thats the sad point :/

grim canopy
#

For the PVP essence we need to just do BGs?

#

i guess I can afk in them

winter moss
#

well longway to go for 50k honor

grim canopy
#

do rated BGs give more honor

#

bah but people want rogues do actually do important stuff in those

#

i can't just slack off

tribal marlin
#

with the amount of pve guys going to do 5man party for BG it will be a nightmare to farm theese 50k without a party

#

especially horde side

#

The best way to get maximum honor is to go for Epic Battleground

grim canopy
#

oh lord

winter moss
tribal marlin
#

AV and IC historically gave a hell tons of honor

grim canopy
#

i guess its easier to afk in those i spose

winter moss
#

imagine hardcore pve raider who never touched pvp in epic battle grounds

grim canopy
#

or anyone

tribal marlin
#

You can't really afk but you can slack bit making people belive your defending useless flag

grim canopy
#

well i mean alt tab ever few min and move a bit

#

whiel i play witcher 3 or something

winter moss
#

well this just makes me hate you even more

grim canopy
#

wowpvp =\

winter moss
#

some of us enjoy pvp

grim canopy
#

maybe if this was tbc or wotlk

tribal marlin
#

people will flag you afk and you'll get kick out the bg, beside also not being as effective as actually killing people (honor wise)

rigid mango
winter moss
#

you aint my mod

rigid mango
#

I'm the pre-mod

#

Like prenut

grim canopy
#

conflict and strife is BIS for WW monks, RIP

tribal marlin
#

What is defias brotherwood ?

#

flag

winter moss
#

an basically we are talking about the essence blood of the enemy good for sin or nyeh

#

so get lost zinead

rigid mango
grim canopy
#

season 3 mdi wil be asssassin rogue, dh, and ?

#

maybe balance druid

winter moss
#

i mean the extra crit is and haste is huge but will the grind for it make it worth?

rigid mango
#

Seeing as how

tribal marlin
#

s3 mdi will be boomkin, dh and rogue good old shit

rigid mango
#

Outlaw is looking nuts

#

I don't think counting them out is fair

grim canopy
#

i want it to be assassin tho

winter moss
#

aslong wits keeps being wits outlaw is going to compete with sin

tribal marlin
#

Wait for the simulation but in a Single Essence scenario you'll probably output same dps with Lucid dream which is way easier to get

#

So the actual grind is more grinding to 55 in order to slot lucid minor and use Bo

winter moss
#

well grinding to 55 is the easiest part

#

what

#

128hrs of islands and you are done?

grim canopy
#

islands suck

rigid mango
#

I mean it's not even wits only

#

It's the fact that they have superior utility

winter moss
#

THEY WHAT OMEGYLOL

grim canopy
#

8 yard range is also pretty amazing

rigid mango
#

Outlaw has superior utility

#

By a fair bit

winter moss
#

marginal

rigid mango
#

gouge + stun in rotation that applies prey + vanish on lower cd without losing dmg

#

vs iron wire

grim canopy
#

slow?

nimble tartan
#

how do you get lucid dream

tribal marlin
#

face tanking isn't a concern anymore theese day

nimble tartan
#

bro i turned my brani off for so long

rigid mango
#

People really over value the slow

nimble tartan
#

idk anythgin bro
