im assuming all the benthic gear should just be rerolled until i get sockets?
i have the MS pants with gem
So I am simming the Benthic pants vs my LFR version of the CoS pants and they get beat by a couple. The sims have been handling the pants correctly, right?
so benthic gear can roll sockets?
yes
is that what everyone is spending manapearls on?
So in the moment we using lucid dreams ?
the full opener is in the guide, lucid, and basically benthic r erolls for pearls
Feels weird to waste the crit on garrote
or does it still crit
i guess garrote does crit
Is blood bad?
I've been doing bg's 3 days straight still dont have rank 1. all losses.
wow pvp i touched like 10 years ago and its shit and still is shit
I think im just gonna wait for 9.0 or 8.3
I feel like a wet noodle as an assassination rogue in pvp
everyone has a ton of heals or CDs and i feel like i dont have enough dps?
maybe i'm just bad though, i dont have a lot of pvp experience
You shouldnβt have issues killing anything as an assass in a pvp environment itβs definitely your gameplay
mostly i have trouble with mages, hunters, and DKs
anyone have any insight into the mechagon trinket 3 slow, customizable and its potential potency?
So we're leaning to Lucid now for the Major slot?
Will give it a whirl and see how it feels
do rated battelgrounds count for the blood essence
Dont see why they wouldnt
they do not
specifically says battlegrounds, pvp islands and epic BGs
rated BGs are for the other essence
lucid feels bad on some farm fights in bod
what u mean bad
So what is the best thing to spend manapearls on, i see people keep mentioning legs?
depends on what u want π

How should I gem if I'm still in the gearing process and want to be semiviable for both m+ and raid?
1 "wrong" gem means like 20-30 dps loss at most so you'll be viable no matter how you gem imho
well realy I'm talking 4 gems, 2 ring enchants, and my weapon enchant (assuming we only run one force multi, and the other an old enchant)
hm... as m+ and raid require different stats, you could aim for an inbetween gear
but as u need much haste in ST environment and much crit/mastery but nearly no haste on m+, its difficult to do that
with lucid you could go ham on mastery which is good for both but i assume you don't have it since youre gearing
unless you are pushing the envelope just pick raid or m+ to focus on and the other will be good enough
Depending on the week, Dungeon and group composition your role and therefore itemization Changes aswell
You can be the st guy in nasty tyrannical weeks If your grp picks up the slack
How high does Benthic azerite go, to 430?
425 atm i think
425
the essences page is currently telling me to use Lucid in both minor and major slot, is that even possible?
nevermind i didnt read "if you do not have a minor-only slot unlocked yet"
do you think that alchemy trinket is worth getting on rogue over other flat agility trinkets?
blood no longer a top tier essence?
lucid feels so good to use idk which is top though
Class theorycrafting community, latest simulation results and resources -based on SimulationCraft- for World of Warcraft.
interesting
lucid is adrenaline rush for us
i dont get why lucid tier 2 and tier 3 have a difference in dps though
sims might be broken still
unless i don't understand how leech works
There will be constant tweaks to the apls associated with each essence over the next few weeks. that was just the initial build from herodamage. essence sims will vary a lot in the coming weeks.
which potion u guys think its good?
Potion of Unbridled Fury or Superior Battle Potion of agility
focused resolve was doing insane damage for me on ST testing
r u talking about potion @ Beverice?
yes
20% crit chance for 20 seconds
and then 4% crit chance for the rest of the fight assuming you don't hit anything else
get your guildie to make you some
yeh
you can sim yourself with different pots in raidbots. for me on an MA build for patchwerk, focused resolve was best.
@opal meadow Lucid rank 3 gives you a vers proc when you proc the energy refund
isn't that for minor
and the uptime of that buff is like 30 ish %
yea but the major is both major + minor
oh what
thx guys
???? i had no idea lol
its nice in raid bad in everything else
Its just annoying to use
gotta have it on its own keybind cus you cant really macro it to a CD
So it takes up a bind spot, ugh
I dont wanna accidently place it and have to move
wait
shrine of the storm my bad we are talking about different trinkets yeah i hate that trinket
I am talking about the circle
That one sucks
I hate it tbh
is it feasable to get full benthic 415 befor season 3? I havnt played for a year and want to prepae for m+ and raids
yep i hate it too
makes me enjoy raiding less
just dont use it
you can try to farm the plumage from kr to replace it, its not too far off from galecaller's
i farmed CoS for the trinket to replace galecallers
@wise whale benthic is the catchup mechanic yea
yes i know but will i get enough pearls in 3 weeks?
yea
i have gotten like over a 100 since patch launched
Around 420ilvl should be fine for s3 release
i am 380
420?
around 400 will be fine for s3 at least for normal/heroic
and 430 when raid is released
best part about benthic is that you can send it to alts
Even 400 is fine okay TIL
so with little cost you can deck out a completely fresh alt in 380 gear
You are right
you will need 415 ish for heroic azshara
I just want to be high enough to get in mythic+, my guild will take me for raid anyway
Overestimated 420 since i aim for that
I'm 415 atm, but ilvl is lower due to rings not following ilvl rules
yeah i'll be aiming for 420 too but ive been running mythic bod and m+ all season
418 here
boots are leatherworking though arent they
Truuu
so maybe bracers only
i think those are the ones with good procs
maybe the belt too, 2% more dmg to aberrations
alliance or?
the items are follower based, so we dont have the same items on alliance vs horde
@opal meadow, for cleave fights, which potion would you start with, if u go SS trait?
agility
u mean the 1215 agility one
I have 13 days till release at 20 pears/day that would be 260 pearls, but i would need 450 for full 415 benthic
got it
at the end of the day you are still an assa rogue even in cleave fights
I already have 1 piece upgraded so 400
so you gonna use that vendetta
and want to pump into that TB
correct me if i'm wrong ^^
most of the time if there are 3 targets to cleave i just single target
yea
idk if that's right
yep
you should
^
depends on how close they are to each other ofc
not worth to walk 15s across the room
to dot a 2nd target ^^
depnds on how long its gonna live tbh
but you wouldnt realy call it cleave then i guess
so on rastakan which has 3 unit cleave i just singletarget every time i try to cleave i end up doing less dps
im probably playing wrong
tbf rastakan is pretty chaotic depending on your guild
but when i single target i get like 40k dps
oh
and vanish 3x ss after opener
well if you're running SS it's different for sure
the dps window is just longer
its not that punishing if you have to play a mechanic inbetween
espacially jaina
you actually gain ur full CPs quicker with MA, pretty sure
you open and eat that first avalanche, no biggie, come back, vanish, double garrote and keep on going
i raid with 2 other rogues, both playing MA, me subterfuge, they usualy start off doing more dps but i catch up and get ahead like 30s into the fight
how much dps are you in 30s into the fight?
let me check
What pieces should i go for in benthic gear?
40k+
with lucid the assa opener feels gud
I know Lucid dream is the essence to go, but i don't understand when to use it, does anyone know where does it fit in the rotation?
I use lucid right after vendetta has dropped
but everything crittet and the stars aligned
you dont want to overlap lucid and vendetta, its just wasted energy
But my vendetta has Nothing personal so i super overcap energy
once I get energy starved after the first TB I pop lucid
yes so yo use it after vendetta is over
i use lucid a few seconds after vendetta
you just use it when you have less than 50 energy
and keep blasting
what vanitaus said
use it as soon as you get energy starved
really? thats weird
1000 dps loss according to those
Just use it right after vendetta is over, you will have like 40 ish energy at that point so ideal time to use it
pop it once you run out of energy after opening

there is no ideal time to use it like after vendetta
it's depend on proc
you just press it when you cannot press another gcd
sims aren't concrete yet?
i dunno man, i just go by the sims made by eleem yesterday
which showed a 1000 dps loss to use it during vendetta
No they're not concrete yet
i assume the 1000 dps loss was using it right after you press vendetta
when you don't lust
ok so vendetta gives 60 energy over 3 seconds so after those 3 seconds you use lucid when you're starved for energy
you have to press it at like 5 sec of vendetta remaining usually
for example mekkatorque
yes i dunno why everyone overcomplicate it
you cannot press another gcd = lucid
nothing else matter
do not ever ever use it with vendetta
vendetta/tb timing don't matter
you're gonna energy cap no matter when you use it right?
rogues it's all about manage your energy
@opal meadow yes
lol
thats why you want to use it as you are low on energy
because you get more energy during vendetta
and cant use something else anyway
vendetta doesn't gives u max energy
that usualy does not happen during vendetta ^^
it all depends on if you lust on pull too
yes
indeed
that why you all overcmplicate it
no one is overcomplicating it
press it >50 energy
no you press it <50energy
when do you use lucid with lust?
not >50
dont use it with lust
yes that what i meant sorry typo
so after lust
u use it when you have less than 50 energy
yes, if u dont need energy, dont press lucid
nothing else matter
i mean ppl overcomplicate it saying you shouldn't press it during vendetta or w/e when it's not true if you don't lust at pull
I have unleashed hell upon this chat
π
the only rule followed by sim is less than 50 energy press it
If you use it the first time you go below 50 energy i dunno what to tell you
if you read the sim it also says that using lucid during vendetta is a 1000 dps loss, but yea sims are not 100% yet sure.
we can go even deeper and consider boss mechanics aswell
when do you really want to use lucid
Do you even wanna use it ever?
you might cap if you need to run away
Best to save it π€
lol
lucid when under 50 energy means you'd use it during vendetta right
No
yes @opal meadow
What
but you run under 50 energy in vendetta
we went full circle
o no
yea
i guess its pretty clear that you not gonna use it right with your opener
that is it
since you just overcap like a motherfucker
yeah
doesn't need to line up with anything
and it feels wasted
my brain is too small to read the raw input
so after the first few seconds
Use before opener pepega
basically during raid this week ive been doing 1. opener. 2. be energy starved. 3. pop lucid. 4. go ham
indeed
the top sim listed uses it at 49 seconds, assuming lust
i just gonna say it one last time there is no perfect timing for it it depend on crit on mutilate and proc on minor ....
lol
if you use lucid together with vendetta and lust cus you're starved for a second you're a 
ok this is assuming no lust on pull
you're never starved for a second with lust and vendetta
^
You wanna rule all kinds of misunderstandings out
vendetta u will actually
before the buff runs out
so like most poeple said, after using vendetta, if u know ur low on energy, just pop lucid
simple
then go ham
pump shit
There are very few bosses where you dont lust on pull atm
?
xD
Rastakhan, opulence, jaina, stormwall, mekka
even conclave
i mean we lust everyone on pull except jaina
almost every boss in bod
depends on raid
besides grong and champions

Like theres not much point lusting these bosses on pull
my raid doesn't lust on pull for like any boss
well if you can kill first boss on conclave within 20 seconds its worth lusting, which is kinda easy
rastakan we lust in the shadow realm
Same
jadefire we lust after 2nd 7 sided strike
same
i dunno, we just blast every boss from start, except jaina.. for obvious reasons
For jadefire we used to lust on pull but with current dps theres so much bad overlaps
So we save it
opulence lust on pull pepega
oh yea not opulence too
blockade aswell
And for mekka or blockade not worth a
uhh mekka would be dumb as well
mekka you wanna lust after 40%
for no reason
why would you lust on mekka wtf
to blast dps
if you lust mekka on pull you might get into intermission wihtout bots up xD
yea
my guild is pretty uhh something.. so we can't kill mekka
turning into #wow-general
just slight derailing
we're talking about lust and lucid i think but yeah
Internet police never sleeps
yikers
lol
you forget thistle tea
Thats my strat too
but you go lucid lust into vendeta
you use that after lucid
oh boy
not starving -> being obese
and only then pull
Okay i have another question to stirr everyone up, do you use subterfuge or the better simming one, master assassin?
I also like to have my energy full
subterfuge
i use MA since i dont use SS
master assassin of course
Incase i need it for a dangerous scenario
if you use SS you use subterfuge
i could go MA, still sticking to subterfuge π¦
i prefer MA opener
I use SS with Master assassin 
i dont like the MA opener on the website though. i toxic blade then vanish
I've actually never used MA, how do you use it? I'm too used to subterfuge
amafu bad boy
Push, enlighten me with your Simming knowledge
you wanna use big abilities in vanish, tahts about it
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
always vanish > TB
why though?
TB hits hard and it's more consistent damage
i prefer to use TB right before vanish, this was a big discussion back in the day too
i TB then vanish then envenom for 5 CP crit and then mutilite for 4 cp crit
its barely a difference in dps
it's just more consistent
yeah probably doesn't change much
your damage won't skyrocket, but you won't get fucked over by not critting
if you TB right before vanish you can get 2 crit envenoms in it tho
yeah
vanish env - mut - env
thats RNG for you
exactly

I'm having a Jimmy neutron cerebral scene right now
but if you TB you'll still have only 1 or 2 CPs
that's what I meant by vanish -> TB -> mut being more consistent
could you not just mutilate a 2nd time before TB -> vanish?
1-2 cp from TB -> usually 3cp from mut
overcapping from crits isn't really an issue
but we like overcaping in here, no?
if you get 3 cp you just dont env
i just stick to subterfuge untill MA is clearly ahead
MA is fun π¦
like by a huge margin xD
na MA kinda sucks for me
i am just so used to playing subterfuge due to m+
I get two vendettas on boat on M jaina with MA, wouldn't get that while waiting for vanish to cool down
with subterfuge
yeah i dont like the cd gap with subterfuge
i cant even use my 2nd vendetta on the boat
since everytime i want to use it we have to call a dps stop
since next blizzard is around the corner
yea thats nice
i suggested we do that aswell
be we had 5 family & friends guys with us last time
they just dont pull the numbers
Do what your name says
I accidentally had a SS trait on my helm once and went to subterfuge since I had already HS'd once to reforge another piece, and it did feel nice to have big bleeds ticking if you got the first avalanche. but yesterday, I was still top 4-5 after stepping back to jaina, even with MA
yea
i feel like it really comes down to boss mechanics and playstyle in general
its hard for me to judge if one is better than the other
even if it might be on paper
I do like SS, it's a fun trait, I just really don't like it anymore on single target, it usually prevents me from using a vendetta here and there
especially since we pump too hard for many mechanics now
so we are using lucid dreams, right? when do you activate it?
oh boy

here we go again
Scroll up for your own good

so we use it outside of cooldowns right
you might want to use it if you only have vendetta up but not right from the get go
maybe with 5s left or something like that
but thats up for debate
well its an energy regen proc, it isnt that useful if you are maxed out
bossfights are rarely target dummys anyway so
you have to cycle them around mechanics and phases anyway
the point is
lust+vendetta+lucid = overkill
oh and also, i wanna point this one out, always refresh your garrote before u pop lucid
why?
because Garrote only gives u 1 CP
u wanna max all your energy on mut + evn
in the lucid window
so you want to refresh not only garrote but rupture aswell?
lol
ye what about the minor power at 55
lucid minor probably
can you use the same essence as minor+major?
you cant equip it twice
ok
well ok maybe you guys can correct me if im wrong, but you can equip it twice eh
so 200% 
if you equip a major essence
the minor part of that essence is active aswell
if you equip a minor essence, only the minor part is active
you cant equip the same essence multiple times in minor and major slots
thats what i understood, i might be wrong
sounds right to me
not possible
No its not,
thanks
But also, why would you want to do that
You get the major and minor effect for having it in the major slot
maybe there could be a nice stack if it would be possible, but whatever, makes sense as it is
stacking some minors would be op
Yeah they're unique slots, cant have more than 1
it makes es-sense
badum tss
See yourself out 

I was very sad when I was using the flamey essence one wednesday, it was very boring
but lucid dream feels super fun
not being energy starved as assassination 
such sustained burst on opener
i like blood and aoe
So i've been missing some of the chats the last days. What essences do we go for? Lucid Dream? Vendetta cooldown thingy? Or is Blood of the Enemy still the one to go for? As a Mythic raider
lucid major till you get minor slot then wait for sims
!essrank
Assassination Essence chart: https://bit.ly/2xdr7P8
Unless tuning changes it, it seems good for a lot of specs
yeah
it's the best essence but its just like not impactful to your rotation really? just a haste buff. i like lucid because it's fun
or the blood one seems fun too, more crit is nice
blood essence + crit pot = 40% crit chance
but it doesnt seem that good in the rankings
Wdym?
thats why he said "it seems fun" π
I guess thats true it is more fun
some plebs still enjoying the game
@solid nova in the essrank you cheked blood isnt as good
ye but its still outscaled by iris
worth getting? or not
Massively
Wtf
guess i dont need that 50k honor for now
I'll probably still do it passively for it
?
Try your luck in #wow-general this isnt the channel
Yeah i guess so .. sorry
Yo guys, do we have a website to check everything like lockonestopshop?
ravenholdt is probably the closest
@potent stone Atm Wowhead is more up-to date
okay thanks
but i guess ill just ask here, for assa m+ i right now have 3xSS 1xMD 1xNP 1xEB should i go 2xEB and lose 1xSS?
yes
stacking SS is not really worth it anymore when you can get more EB for most dungeons
is sin best for WQs and content like that?
Vwym ss isnt worth staxhinfx
Im shit gear for everything lol
when you have the choice bettwen getting 2xSS or 2xEB, the 2xEB will win in most dungeons
EB?
dungeon sims is not a good measure of traits
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
somone else asked for m+
it doesnt suck, but EB is just better for the big pull meta
and 1xSS is still good for dungeons
Whats EB again?
FoK trait
echoing blades
What traits should I be going for? I just hopped into 8.2 with a 850 ilvl
850 monkas
with 850 it doesnt matter
do you raid or do you M+?
because shit dies when you look at it π
But when I get my benthic pieces
he is stuck in legion
dungeons deepens on the dungeon, but 2-3xEB is almost always good
Idk I would figure eb being dead last in ST would make it far less appealing
for pvp you want too stack twist the knife
you always spend WAY more times doing aoe in dungeons
even in tyranical weeks
I mean personally I just switch ol for m+
I just wanna focus on other content right now.. then ill get a pvp set ofc
ye, you are basically better off going outlaw in M+ and staying asn for the raid and picking up 3x np and 3x dd
but that is just my opinion
But I've seen wicked raid dmg on bosses like champs with ssx3
mate
thats padding
thats like saying that outlaw is the best rogue spec for jaina
π€·ββοΈ
@icy ember Speaking to me bud?
because they can pad so much dps with BF on the balistas/iceblocks
im speaking to all of the discord
for raids? nope
well, no, but that is just me personally, i can visibly see someone swapping to 1x ss over NP instead of dd on fights like jadefire
if you stack DD you go MA, and SS is pretty bad without subterfuge
why would you take ss for conclave....?

Raptors
i like to get 1 bbi in there
Tryan aswell
All you need for questing is subterfuge
Does the energy regen from Memory of Lucid Dreams makes Haste weight much lower? Or will it still be top stat for ST?
As I understand the bis combo be Condensed Life-Force for major slot and Memory of Lucid Dreams for the minor one
I just couldn't find the info how much exactly energy per minute we'll get from the minor slot of Lucid Dreams
I've noticed that lucid minor doesnt impact stat weights much at all
The major makes haste less valueable though
I felt that my galecallers was sort of wasted, dunno
def going to swap that out asap, terrible to use
lurkers
lucid just makes it even better
do you pop it together with vendetta?
nope, ofc not
got 884 energy from lucid minor during a 5:5 minute fight yesterday
i popd it after second envenom in tb window
some rng involved, it has a fixed procrate right? and you can get it on your finishers/garrotes
quite the difference in energy gained
yeha, i use it on the 2x TB window and ALWAYS overcap, even when i use stuff on the gcd
ye it procs from every ability
yea i just checked my log
Im unsure if its a flat% chance everytime or if its rppm, i'd assume its rppm but who knows
did it proc on faint? π
feint in 2k19
so I'm not the only one thinking lucid dream sims are sort of inflated ? Like, when would you optimally use it if not with your CDs, you have energy for days without using it I feel like
The minor is just strong
lucid dreams+venom rush strats inc
@jovial tulip Use it when youre low on energy (<50)
the on use just extends ur opener dmg
Dont line it up with vendetta or anything
you are swimming in energy until almost a minute into the fight, its quite neat
Yeah, usually when I'm low on energy, I got no dmg anyways, like I'm far off from TB etc, so I feel like it would be wasted
You still get lots of DD damage
i usually get a TB in the lucid window
it devaluate haste a lot for me
i dont have my lucid minor yet, can we get close to 100% EB uptime with it?
and even if you dont get a TB during lucid window you'll go into a TB without having to pool energy because you're basically full
hmm, so we will 100% want to use that major as assa then ? Because I'm leaning towards using vision in major, then lucid in the minor
even if sims don't support it, numbers wise, I feel like that might be stronger ?
Is it in theory possible to make it 5 envenoms in 1 TB then? 
TB->relic-> env - muti - env - muti - env - muti - env - muti - env
10 gcd in total
world first?!?!
sims say lucid in minor right now
Considering u'r full of crit and get 4cp everytime lol
If you EB, can the vision proc go on more than 1 target?
Vendetta CD reduction as Minor and chance to proc Vendetta + trait, if we still haste stack, might be strong, but yh, idk
no
Vendetta cd reduction isnt very powerful as it offsyncs vanish
you're also going to misalign vendetta and vanish
this is the same debate as was had during the CDR days of legion but for another class
missalign monkaS
sure its nice having ur CD more often, but it fucks everything else up
I don't remember t hat being such a huge deal back in legion tho ? during the convergence meta
or maybe that's so long ago that I've forgotten already haha
couldnt you get vanish down to a 1 minute cd
so you had it back up for 2nd vanish anyway
i mean
vendetta
yea but so you only had to hold vanish for a few seconds
would not be the case now i think
Its not only vanish either. Lurkers is still an amazing trinket and likely to be sought after even in palace
And the storm effects from aszhara (see belt from aszhara boss)
Both of those also have 2 min cd which you dont want to missalign
Yeah, vision looks horrendous for raid
hmm, true, lurkers OP
I still don't see the full value of lucid for rogues tho, since you overcap so hard, atleast I have so far
For other classes, sure, it's busted, boomie's for example get AP, their rotation is moonfire starsurge, moonfire, starsurge etc, broken lol
but for rogue, idk
Anyhow, someone mentioned for sims lucid is minor ? what's being used as major then ?
You get the minor when you have the major
yeah, obv π
And right now most people only have 1 major slot and no minor
The major that sims the best is condensed life force (after you get 2 slots and can have lucid minor)
I'm at neck lvl 53 atm, so not far off π
so once I hit 55 I'll put lucid in minor, but yh, major I'm still not sure
Yeah flames are fine
wath do you guys think about worldvein when some people in the raidgroup use it?
cus you will get 55 in neck before you have condensed
Hi, can anyone confirm Lucid Dream effect breaking stealth when it procs on sap ?
does nazjatar stuff change traits ?
crucible of flame is a good major, no doubts
Razen it might be your follower doing some shenanigans
@jovial tulip https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/e7mBMsC1gmFbWTs6tTuZnz
This is my character so slight deviations for yours ofc (caps is major)
but i have experienced the same thing
@faint harness ok ty mate
I've heard reports of it too
follower not vanishing with me annoys me
also this ^
@spice surge thank you, didn't realise we could sim the essences already, was doin like 50 different sims yesterday lmao
hmm, same happened without follower
Life force lucid here we come 
@spice surge your sim is saying lucid in major and flame in minor is better 
lucid is the best major till rank 3 essence or condensed life
not sure which sims you are lookin at but life force major and lucid minor is showin as best for me
yea but you cant get life force yet
Those sims are all with r3
hey guys, is it possible to use the essences as part of macros and how? I tried with /cast and /use but none seems to work...
neck lvl
Isn't it levels?
@spiral escarp /cast Heart Essence
right
Its neck lvl
54 for r2 iirc
rank 3 is lvl 60?
How many Shrouded Suffocination trais is too many?
60 or 65
60 r3 70 r4 ye
@scenic torrent For ST you want 0, for cleave you want as many as possible, for aoe you want 1
@spice surge ty, its just some random pieace, nothing better to pick anyways
should i make a bot command for the azerite major macro?
@rigid mango Its yikes how MA is still simming higher than subt and ns with blood+crit pot 
Idk
i pinned it in general yesterday and thought that would be suefficient
First time i've seen it mentioned, so i think its fine
Since dragging out the spell from your spellbook does the exact same thing as that macro i dont see the need really
But hey
this,and it's on gcd
Is lucid essence BIS for us?
depends what you mean by bis
sim it bro
i mean the exact acronym deffinition

for major essences rank 1 seems huge
What slot though? π€
thx fuu
if you have 1 major 1 minor we might take it to minor slot
and for m+ i am not sure if you use it

you don't pop it during vendetta, you will overcap way too much energy (edit: if you have NP, I keep thinking about that trait by default since I run it)
I would pop it after your toxic blade ran out
pop it whenever you don't have enough energy to mut in your next gcd
THe energy from vandetta only lasts 3 sec
Vendetta
so after 3 sec, whenever I reach sub 50 energy?
Just whenever
You reach sub 50
If you do, press it
If you can't press a button next gcd, press lucid.

Idk why would you not use it during vendetta
Obv when im low energy iβd want to use it during vendetta cuz I want to pump out as much envenom during vendetta as I can π€·πΏββοΈ
That still falls into the -50 energy statement though
Yes ofc
Im just not sure how ppl come to the conclusion not to use it during vendetta
right, last time I answered that, it was during the opener
Even with np and 26% haste I starve energy during last third of vendetta π€·πΏββοΈ
so yeah, of course you'd use it during vendetta if you can benefit
^

Yes but I cant use both rn
If you use lucid
Main slot essences have both enabled.
You get both the major and the minor
Iβm looking forward to combo guardian major with lucid minor
The middle essence has both
Thats still a lot less apm than simply lucid major
!essence

Yeah but should be higher dps wise
And you still have more apm than we had before essences
Which is great
i just spam my buttons with 200 APM and pretend they do things
This is not fury channel
im abit confused by echo blade trait, first time testing this trait out. so if theres 1 target, and I use FoK, the echo proc only happends after I crit my own FoK 5 times?
So if theres 10 mobs, echo blade will only happend on the first 5 crit on mobs?
@carmine valve It will shoot out the wave from the first 5 yes, but it will hit all mobs
Does the FoK from echo blade apply poison or give combo point or anything? beside always being crit
what about applying Deadly poison?
no
Going off by that chart would you not want to wait on switching out lucid until you get r3 life force or r3 flame
Nvm better to throw lucid on minor and get more dps out of something else
Ok between essences and traits feeling about overwhelmed
what do we think about that new arcane heart trait?
I think the mastery trait will be very strong but arcane not so much
anyone getting taken out of stealth all the time now ?
Your follower
I believe so mate
yep i only run around with neri and she always gets me out of stealth
Lucid energy return does it too i tink
raidbot is opti or not ?
its the most common used sim tool yes
yes i know but for the 8.2 ?
ok good thx
You can sim yes
just resim your char on a daily basis as it gets updated and optimized day by day
But theres also a big disclaimer about unstablility while things are settling out
It's janky sims though
The big red bar on the website
^
They're not entirely optimised yet, so just take them with a grain of salt
Compare with others' and try to get something similar 
Or just hoard everything and sim before july 9 when its stable and optimizing actually matters
I mean I assume that's what everyone's doing anywats
I think we'd be surprised lol
Yeah

are there any benthic gear sims available?
or atleast an early idea of which ones are looking like the best ones to keep
what's the new crafted trinket like for rogue?
Does anyone know if sin is gonna be the best raiding spec again?
thanks sentrip! I like all the specs. I play whatever is best
That trinket is not properly implemented in simc yet, but it doesnt look very good to me
The trinket is bugged. Punchcards dont always give the stats they say they do

Blue cards are just quirky utility
blue cards seem like flavor things
Will banthik gear be bis for raiding?
! essences
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
well you probably won't be able to upgrade all benthic gear to 425 or 430 whatever the cap is.
then as soon as the raid comes out you get 430 from heroic. the belt has a powerful passive on it for doing more dmg to abberations which are like 2 bosses
you will get 2-3 pieces before raid comes out, try to get a socketed 385 one and upgrade that, or aim for ur slots that arent already 420+
Punchcard trinket with the 404 basic red card don't look good, might be pretty decent with red card coming in S3
also both Insidious gift and Kimbul are busted right now so hard to compare

Is exanguinate going the tallent to go for m+ in the new season?
Why would it?
does anyone know if the mechagon azerite gear will be sold by the vendor?
Sounds no assa to me
Is there any word if we can skip essence ranks?
Does anyone know if the mechagon azerite gear with assassin traits on it will be sold by the vendor?
Sounds very un assa to me
Imagine if there was a channel like #wow-general where you could ask non spec specific questions
oh, u'r one of those
I'm just making the mod's lives easier
The answer is yes liquid btw
It's me or a mod, you pick
There mods that's there job leave it to them u brown noser lol
wanna get mad about what the rules are just bring it up with them
hey zine, do you know if the SS trait on mechagon azerite gear scaled to 445 from the vendor?
π
Once mechagon is split into 2 dungeons and made into M+ prolly
Using more than one channel 
Lol
