There hasnt been any relevant changes to the APL or anything else in simc during the last 2 days that would make herodamages essence tab somehow inaccurate
Vision just isnt a good essence for assa
it reduces the cooldown of vendetta right?
Yes, which you dont want
Because then it doesnt line up with aszhara storm items, vanish nor your on-use trinket
So the minor is literally useless
The major is decent, but since it doesnt have a minor it gets outshined by most things
The major doesnt reduce any cd
!essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
It just procs it for 7s
ye, doesnt anymore though
makes it a bit better for assa. imagine if you could get a differrent minor with it
having a hard time deciding on what race should my assassin rogue be
whichever one looks the best generally
Aesthetics or bust
racials don't add much in terms of performance
i mean night elf has 2nd vanish as racial, then dark iron has a racial that makes vanish guaranteed without it being removed by DoTs
make zadalari and call it buff daddy braddin. ez game
prefer alliance though
the night elf meld has no effect in raids
in m+ obviously its nice
so it really depends on what content you're doing
both tbh, pvp and pve
NE probably, meld is good
Night Elf with the new black eyes are 👌
actually in your opinion, which race looks good in leather
NE then if its an all rounder
for transmog
Belf... or nightelf for alli
void elf too 🤣
Oh lol i totally forgot they are ingame
What's this I hear about not using CT in any situation ever
Well its true... the gcd is not woth it. You do more dmg with fok and EB traits
Do we need 3 EB to do that
is it normal for me to be simming mastery > haste
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/aM9eMDkYDnLZbCpbzzt1Xs
I'm at 22crit 21haste 36mast
Yes
Yeah lucid lowers the value of haste
That's more the major though
the minor barely does
Mastery is just a very good stat and was close/better for me before 8.2
Why do you have such random items equiped merkyah
mastery invreases DD and NP damage so if you're running any of those mastery taking over haste is pretty reasonable
@strange python https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9g95zjT82QMTyfrQSBNTxn
Incase you want to do more damage
Equip your good items (this is topgear from only gear you have btw)
Hello, someone looking for something to do could help me improve? I know i suck, but i'm not sure how to get better without changing fingers and brain. Lindiaum - https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Lbf8GpXNR2jwnQ39
just briefly looking through it , your running shrouded suffocation but not empowering your garrotes most vanishes
I just would like to make sure I understand the rotation correctly- I should be using envenom at 4 points and not 5?
both
4+
if you end up at 4 cp you finish
@harsh sphinx u mean, vanish then garrote?
garrote twice
you want to pandemic the empowered garrote
ohh, got it
In the spot he showed the correct play would probably have been
Vanish > garrote > rupture > garrote > mutilate > envenom
Yeah he has an SS trait
Well looking at it again it actually probably should have been
Rupture > vanish > garrote twice > env
or Vanish > Rupture/ENV > Garrote x2
depending on energy.
I was assuming he wanted to refresh rupture either way, yeah
roger, always 2xgarrote with subterfuge
This is one of the dumb little nuances that SIN has that shows no actual DPS gain but there's a difference between doing it right or wrong.
Yeah, with subt it should pretty much always be (at least two garrotes) + something else
on grong you held onto vanish for too long, first use 45 sec. i would just Vanish garrote grong twice/ the add if you can after your initial 3 envenoms
If there's a second target, then it'd be three garrotes
In reality if the Vanish is NOT part of the Opener and you have running Garrotes, you can;
Vanish > G (Primary) > G (Secondary) > etc.
With Combo Point and Energy levels dictating whether you do a finisher before the Vanish, after the Vanish, between the Garrotes, or after the Garrotes.
Who said this spec was easy? o _O
what do you guys bind the cyclotronic blast to?
vendetta
i've noticed you can use a GCD with it
My normal trinket button
My on use trinket keybind.
Which is G.
/use 13
/use 14
^
what i'm saying is, it doesnt trigger a gcd so you coudl technically mutilate and start the cast at the same time, saving a GCD
In the opener I pop it with my lurkers, right before vendetta
yea but you can use it while triggering a GCD
instead of triggering a GCD
use it
wait for cast
use another ability
you just activate it while the GCD is going
dungeon slice on rb is best for m+, correct?
gotta be lightning quick for that, a macro would make it easier. Just dont know what ability
Yes it is
I mean the only one that can really line up with it is vendetta
doesnt have to be a major cd
you can do tb if you're careful around cds
Just press the buttons at the same time > _>"
Have you guys tried using potion of focused resolve yet (20% crit chance)? It pulls you out of stealth and doesnt even proc subterfuge. Not sure if that's intended
i can guarantee that you're not fast enough
I literally do garrote > mut > rupt > mut till 4 > trinket > tb > vendetta > vanish
the problem with other abilities is you aren't going to line up with the CD always for cyclotronic
I can guarantee that I am.
like you skip the "downside" of it having a cast time if you use it exactly when GCD is triggerend
if you put it on mutilate, you HAVE to be using mutilate at the same time as cyclotronic or it's just not being used on CD
thank you very much for your time ppl 😃
Correct :3
It is not a damage loss unless you cap nrg
same with rupture, or garrote
yea but mainly opener stuff then
it's really not hard to press both buttons
im not a piano player
That's fair.
then don't bind it to 0
Good instrument though, pick it up :3
its on Shift - F
LUL
Not like you don't have time with sin's 10 apm
its all about not wasting gcds in opener for me
not so much in the middle of it all
No such thing so long you are GCD locked and not energy capped.
Just use it before you pop any cooldowns
thats what im doing anyway
is anyone simming for 36k+? can you link your raidbots if so
But still
@odd sun it doesn't even give 20% crit
you really don't have to worry about wasting GCDs
it's super buggy, don't use it
just get more sockets 
36k+ sounds
anyway i'll find a way to use it
Insanely high
i sim 35.75k
rank 3 blood shiit
and he's not even using the trinket
only 7 sockets :p
all of my benthic pieces have sockets.. just not enough perals to upgrade them to good ilvls
o _O
weirdchamp
-_-
and here I am with one socket -_-
got a pvper here
i just got rank 2, im still neutral with rustbolt 
god I wish I had Bote

what else is better?
actually not really terrible as a minor
+- from flames r3
im using bote rank 3 myself but i am not going to do that when i have the bis essences
resonating is gonna be better but we cant get it yet
thats what i mean
i never think of the current situation as valuable when it comes to talking about bis essences or similar
only at r3 tho
Until you've farmed the raid for weeks until we have r3 life
between raids who cares
around 34 with joke daggers https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kWtSQHK9GrZAk58LmbWopb
i like bursting over 100k in opener while not even using my plumage trinket cus my macro didnt work and i only realised after raid 
rank 3 flames barf
i'll allow it
I'll probably have to go no bote because islands, ew
Just slowly farm r3 flame
imagine having lurkers
It's probs 2 weeks away I suppose
pretty sure if i had my old off-hand with a socket I'd be at 36k
I mean I'd feel better if I was even close to r2 flame
For non hard island grinders
but i didn't want to have to buy so many enchants
If you're nto close to r2 flame you're either not playing or doing something very wrong
or were behind from start
though I do have to do my island weekly though
and ya I was behind from the start on my rogue
I only like, just came back to them
I'm only at 51 atm though
got some catching up to do
you like btw
I hate it thanks
I also hate it
getting 425 TF 2 weeks before the tier is over
it'll help you push into next tier
weapons I need to catch up on way more than heart levels
I don't even wana talk about my weapons..
anyone know how many ilvls the crit boot effect is equal to?
like
455
a fuckload
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8nzVN1XMQ19QMef2FGHPWE oh boy i did it
How much do we like the red punchcard from Rustbolt?
probs more
your weapons cant be worst than mine tbh
what did u change
how bad are yours?
405 + 400 lul
The boots are worth like, I think more than mythic pieces atleast
with sockets maybe more than 455 but idk
someone said their 385 socket was outsimming actual boots
take that as u will
@opal meadow try mastery gems and leviathians eye
im testing that right now
i have a levi eye on my gloves
actual boots as in
415 etc
btw does the sim assume you are in the new raid? because boots sim crazy
ah
385 are better than actual boots
tes
LMAO
500 dps
from 385 boots 🤔

It's fucking ballistic
Last I checked Akana's bonus works, and is about 1 - 1.5% DPS.
It's only 25 ilvls
anyone who plays poe should know crit multi is king
It can only get better as you upgrade it, that’s the nuts piece
over similar level boots.
how do they compare to cos boots?
Blast them out of the fucking water.
without worrying about stacks
Those boots, are just nuts.
gg
You just do more damage for wearing it, not having to pay attention to anything
only 2?
one for raid one for m+, again.
rookie numbers
i feel like simming deeper stratagem is like opening a rabbit hole
For sin atleast, probs
I had like 4 a couple of weeks ago until they all got shafted thanks to essences
and I got rid of them all
i feel its important to also consider the muscle memory we all havingi using one build vs swapping to a build we have never played but sims a tad higher on some fights
hm?
@opal meadow you upgraded the wrong gloves?
i mean deeper doesn't change anythin
true...i guess
i guess vigor vs deeper strat might depend on boss uptime? if we have some forced downtime, deeper would get the advantage, right?
so weird question, is there any reason I'd be regening energy slower in 8.2?
Why would boss downtime matter?
hey sorry if this is pinned somewhere, what pots are we using
Doesnt having vigor make it easier to stop from capping energy? Cause your pool is bigger.
it smoothens out the rotation when you have low amounts of haste.
You also regen 10% slower
because you have a bigger pool to spend from.
That is such small amount though
That would matter very little, is what I mean
Downtime.
Vigor feels awesome to play with
regen 10% slower?
10% slower than if you had vigor
wait so are we actually considering deeper strat a viable option? cuz that would be kind of fun
we don't consider it an option, we sim it, and if it's better, we run it
^
With increasing amounts of haste and also and more importantly so, lucid
vigor loses value bit by bit
LOOOOOOSE-id
now an argument could be made that if you personally don't like the playstyle of a certain talent, and it sims within error margin
fuck it, run what you want
^
just like im not running the guardian of azeroth essence smileyface
it sims within error margin (of a canyon" - push, probably
Guardian at r3 or swap spec
I’ll just pick the highest simmed talent and play it wrong and do less than the talent i wanted anyway

saraziy just described 90% of wow players
like deeper was simming better for me (on outlaw) this tier, but it was close
and deeper is 
so i didn't run it
can you imagine a full raid of those elementals
are we all fucking warlocks now
let me play rogue, not a summoner
thanks
"hold ur eles boys we need to burst the add phase"
potato crashes
popping bob or something
inb4 only 1 ele can be out at a time

Inb4 there's a bug and they're all assigned to yue first guy to use it
i mean the dragonball m+ beam on 14 players too
if theres like some aoe thing
meant to crash computers
did blizzard recently partner with nvidia or something

Assassination Essence chart: https://bit.ly/2xdr7P8
so if i was going to use lucid dreams major and worldvein essence minor, that would be appropriate for ST?
High ranking flame/blood w lucid minor is better
is "high" ranked 2? 
Sim it
Why isn't that reflected on the essence chart?
well if you click the link above there you can see what im looking at
Ok so lucid major is meh
The minor though, that's gold
The major staple in that ranking, has the minor included
is lucid major meh? the chart is very confusing...
There are better majors than the lucid major, since all you really want from it is the minor
It's not, it's got the minor included in it
if lucid is meh it's confusing*
The major itself is worse than others
i mean, if you sim the minor with a different major it sims less
oh so when it says major it's mixing the major and minor on the chart?
yeah
does for quite a few others as well
how much better?
Look at the diff
In the staples
Look at blood for example, how big of a diff ther is
between major and minor
how do you sim the essences btw?
Raidbots
w/raidbots
1k more having blood as major than lucid for me
I meant like where do you go in raidbots to sim the essences
aint no one sittin on r3 flames
but that wont be achievable for mortals like us until nextweek/beyond that
There are people that are 60 already
4 of them though
anyone else been getting stuck in combat a lot more since 8.2 hit? even without followers
Blood stacks probs
and thats doing everything that i could do
not enough islands
I know the dude who has highest for rogue
he's done uhh
over 1.2k islands since 8.2 launched
And he's 59 atm
iirc
Ok he's not done any islands today, but he was highest, seems like method dudes are catching up.
one thousand two hundred fucking islands?
Yessir.
ya I have no idea how to change essences on raidbots lol
is he okay?
@daring olive how's your brain doing after that many essences mate? 
We'll see in the morning I suppose 😄
you can literally just click over to the new essence on raidbots, scroll down if you dont see anything
The thing with essences
Lucid major is the best before getting high ranking other ones
Then it gets outsimmed
r3 blood/flame + lucid minor will be the go to until we get r3 life
well i'm glad flame is included in that
Unless it gets outscaled, we not may swap it out
cuz i haven't been farming blood
oh, I'm dumb. ya I found it thanks
it’s honestly really ez if you have a 5 stack of good players
wasn't sure if there was a way to sim essences you don't have yet
Yeah, honor aint hard to come by if you're dedicated
just analyze any losses you have, you’ll get it real fast
You get 6k a week from just doing the basic shit
honour just takes time/effort
Rest is down to effectivly grinding
Honestly, you can do the same thing over and over again
well i'll get it off the basic shit i complete then, over time
And you'll have sucess
I'm just stuck on the pvp island adventure
just pve the pvp island. use consumables and you’ll win
Aye
tbh just try and get a tank in your group and you’ll be a lot better off, to the point where min maxing doesn’t matter
gotcha
i ran with a prot pally bud and we wiped them once, and won by 9k or something, despite me having unspecced azerite as outlaw
next part of the quest is making friends that like to tank lol
it's amazing how few of my friends like to tank
with an even smaller amount that'd be interested in doing pvp islands
Hi, i just got a question about my rota, please. I've lost some haste for more mastery according to raid.bot but now it seems harder to keep my talent elaborate planning in my rota
if you’re looking at patches type fights, did you compare your EP uptime with your sim?
Should I make a rota of 2 envenom with elaborate then wait my energy up
yes patch, how u want to compare it with sim?
if you look at the detailed output, you can compare the uptime of elaborate planning on your sim to yours. that’ll loosely tell you if you’re playing it right
I mean, i just swap from 25% haste to 15% haste for more mastery so basycally i lost some of
yiss guildy gave me a socketed lurker trinket
I'm gonna check it
grats
so, when in particular is master assassin generally a dps increase?
when you don't have SS traits
According to raidbot it says 76% but I need advice if you have to optimize my EP with such low haste now. Before 8.2 I was always so high that I never get any issue with EP
There are niche situations where you can have an SS trait and still MA will be better
but the general rule is SS = sub, no ss = MA
SS is better for cleave, MA for patchwerk-y fights
so are we farming M+ for spyglass or what
I guess we willl have to se how that punchcard plays outl. I dont wanna use 2 on use trinkets.
I wonder how long my 420 lurkers will last me
you think mechagon trinket will continue to not share a 30 sec CD with other on use trinekts?
that seeems op? i could see a nerf but idk
It's counted as a gem not a trink
That's why.
The way to nerf it is to nerf the dmg, not the 30 sec
lurkers is still very very good yes
I think there's a very easy solution to that problem
Did to get a socket?
I have both items at my disposal, with sockets
Interesting. What would you time the cyclontric blast with? just after your initial burst with vendetta and your other trinket? @arctic walrus
Gar mut rup cyclo vend van tb etc
Unless you have a plume, it's not modified by any other cooldown so use on cd
What do we think about stacking the blast with vendetta to get damage inside the GCD
Vendetta doesn't increase blast damage
Not what I'm saying
Casting it would simply make you waste a gcd inside
still using a 380 spyglass, rip
Hm.
what minor should we be going for?
Lucid
anything good from the mechagon pvp chest for us?
and major?
Check herodamage for the lists or the guide or the pins.
@civic palm you didn’t wave back at me bro

Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
Anyone else bg all day and still only at 33k 😍👌
did the apl on the punchcards change? Yesteday it simmerdabour 600 less, today about 1k ahead (lurker's/harlans vs lurker's/punchcard)
It sims correctly now
sweet
!azerite
Assassination Azerite overview: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
also, i feel like the 2.5 second channel time is sweet because it's doing damage as we are pooling
You can cast during the channel
oh u can! nice
just not the charge up
so we want to use it outside of vendetta, right?
where in the opener should we use?
the blast
After MA window but before vendetta
Because why pop vendetta when you're gonna cast for like 1.5s
where are people popping lurkers in opener too?
macro it to vendetta
Ye
cool
So the punchcard is pretty good. Everyone was saying it was terrible a couple days ago. Was it just simming incorrectly?
punchcard is terrible unless you have the revered red card
What does the revered red card do if you don’t mind me asking?
scroll up, you can see it on my sim
Damn.
does it crit, like if we used it during ma window
it can't crit, but even if it could MA only affects rogue abilities
If I enable the "in zuldazar" will it turn off benthic effects
run 2 sims and find out
anyway to obtain 410++ yellow punchcard other than begging for warforged/titan?
dungeon on reset
I wouldnt waste Galvanic Oscilators making cards until you have rank 2 of Purification Protocol first imo
can they procc if i craft them ?
yea
till ?
i have a 424 ivl mastery/haste yellow card
ok nice
Is purification protocol decent?
but u only get like 1 galvanic a day
i have a few in bag^^
well i do !
dumb question but any idea why sims show my agi stat prio pretty much at the bottom, yet when i sim top gear and select the options for agi gem/ stat food it always chooses it?
50 vs 120 stat
Because the weight of agility is low, but agi stat gem gives a lot more than a secondary stat gem
got it cheers
when do you use your bote? in the opener and generally
should I be running BBI even if it sims lower than the azerite traits i have right now? Ive been told that its generally a good trait to use
i use it after vend before i vanish
Anyone know how good Alch Trink is?
It's ok but there's a lot of better options
use whatever sims higher cursed bbi gets better the more gear u have
but you synch it everytime with vendetta and vanish?
yeah im about there but i sim like 1k less than u pepehnads
all those vers gems 👀
we live in a society
Once I get enough pearls to upgrade wrists I'll be over 37k 
bro wheres the abberation belt!!!
Chillin in my bags
When is the best time to use lucid dreams major atm?
Do we need to do a +10 or +15 for this week to get cap?
Anyway u get old azerite cap, and this is nothing for new azerites. If u not going for world 10~
But its the Residum going up if im doing my 18 Key for this week so getting enough Residum for buying something nice
On wowhead there is article
Next week the chest should contain the new values of tr, pieces cost around 47k
Its like a +15 gives 21k Residum stated in the article
But blizzdick doesnt say anything about it atm so
As with every week though, try to do as high as possible, if nothing else you get to start out the season with a high key
does the cirt potion still pull us out of stealth?
What spec is most viable for pvp both world and arena?
Suddenly i switched to MA playstyle from subterfuge and my derp brain cant do the opener correctly, feelsbad
16.4% haste feelsbadman
didnt raid for over 1month now, and oh my god, going back from subterfuge too MA was such a pain at the start again
lets fuck up the opener on the first 4 bosses!
hey guys, do you play assa in 8.2 or assa for raid etc. and outlaw for m+?

nah, i was just 
vendetta->tb and then not using vanish cus im a really smart man and stuff
''oh shit, vanish is still up''
subt is not the best feel tbh
you have never env mut env
in tb and ma window
best feeling in the world, giga blast
Do you vendeta toxic then vanish or vendeta vanish toxic using ma
ven>vanish>tb>mut>env is more consistent for opener
using vanish for env>mut>env is a gamble
but when it hits
o lordy
if you want FAT numbers you vendetta > mut > tb > vanish > env >mut >env (not always possible)
tb>vanish>mut>env>mut is musclememory for me at this point, so i just use it
wut
I see
mix of both 
that likes the worst of both worlds
i mean, ofc with 4cp and vendetta up lol
What about when 2nd vendeta and vanish up, do i pre refresh the bleed before doing the burst?
And use the same rotation as the opener right? Vendeta tb vanish mut env mut env
@cosmic pier @distant lava vend>tb>vanish>env>mut>env i mean xD
im a slightly tard today
its ok
weeeeeell
pepegas unite
gar>mut>rup>mut too 3-4>vend>tb>vanish-------the rest---- is what i always do
@distant lava
I hope i dont have to drop lucid major, I love just casting for the whole vendetta window
is it recommend to use ds with lucid even in st ? i ask bc it sims by quite a bit higher than
vigor
inc: people tell me that im doing a really wrong opener for almost 1 year in the expac now
How is assa looking in m+guys?
same it did in s2, great, maybe a bit better
but needs gear too work
@royal lantern I mean for me the mut cast after rupture
should be done after the vendetta
just for the bonus dmg
it's a small loss tho 🤷
People still have this idea that mutilate is a tiny bit of dmg that isnt worthy of being boosted by vendetta
If you run multiple DD traits, it does quite a bit of dmg
even if you don't tbh
except with BL you'll likely be out of energy by the end of vend
so it's not like you will cast this mut in the end of the window
plus using vend one gcd earlier means you get it back one gcd earlier
Is Worldvein Resonance minor, a sim bait since you need other people?
Is there a target cap on blood?
worldvein is a bit weird i gues
Yeah, so I guess crucible of flame minor, is the go to for now
eh, lucid minor if you have a good major
im using blood 3 major and flame 2 minor as it sims better than lucid 2
for me with blood 3 major lucid 2 sims better as minor 🤷
Blood 2, lucid 2 for me

Hi stat for assas please 😄

Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
humm i use Memory of Lucid Dreams with vendetta it's good or not ?
if you read the pins you can see
^
any opener rotation stuff out for when its best to use the punchcard trinket?
i always play subterfuge so its just garrote rupture garrote trinket?
Yep
👍
BEfore any other major cd
do we have an overview of the new weapon enchants?
Sim it, but force + best stat one
it should be worth it upgrading the benthic belt that gives more dmg to abberations no?
for raid
Upgrading w out socket isn't really worth it tbh
Hello guys! Do you think Assassination will be the new To Go accordingly to the new affix?
🔮
yeah i know its speculation
no way to know yet
thats why I said "think" 😛
Hey learning sin as an alt. Was wondering what benthic pieces are worth upgrading if at all. Primarily for M+ if that matters
benthic piece effects dont work in m+ except mechagon
Doesn't work in mecha either
If you want for their actual uses, they're in the pins
o mb
If you just want for m+, any socketed piece w good stats is good
!essences
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
I'm starting to see people use master stratagem over vigor in m+ what is the reason for this?
With lucid, your energy regen is good enough to the point where you can use deeper instead of vigor
Also, you can/normally run 2/3 ttk's with that build, resulting in fat envenom pumping
this synergy is sick
what the rotational difference in MA if using punchcard?
@untold current Nothing, MA doesnt affect trinkets or essences
Also, punchcard cant crit
ah so garotte mut rupture, punchcard, vendetta?
Yep
and for SS?
got it
can you macro it with another trinket or is the active gem also on the GCD? haven't tried mine out yet
I don't have it so can't comment on macroing it, I believe it's macroable though
you can macro it with other trinkets
yeah for sure
the cyclone trinket has been hotfixed
silently
btw
it has longer initial channel time where u cant cast anything else
does ranking up essences increase the minor trait as well?
Pretty sure it had that before, its just that it scales with haste
Yes
@lusty narwhal fun part will be keeping all kinds of gear now to swap in and out of traits.
Literally keeping one of everything.
yeah my banks stocked full of shit
Anyone else running deeper strat for ST yet
I've seen some sims doing it
My difference is negligible but I made the switch anyway to get a feel for it
ahh i vigor feels way smoother thou. i hope vigor stays on top while DS is like 0.0005% behind
I've only had time to try on a dummy but from what I saw, you're rarely low on energy due to lucid, and gemming crit gives you a lot of env uptime
does anyone know why trick of trades doesnt anymore?
i pulled it out from the spellbook and it say nope bro

might be casting it on someone with the blue punchcard that blocks tricks
Would anyone mind linking a random quick sim of theirs
One of them does, not all
the one from the trader?
the benthic boots extra crit dmg is 3% right?
2
and did they change kings rest %?
Yeah
.
I agree
I'm unsure why they made neural silencer a blue punchcard. It's already banned in my guild's raids because of it blocking tricks. Huge pain in the ass
For instance I would almost always get first hit by Kimble during conclave mythic fights because I would switch to that boss after trying to use tricks on the tank who takes it, only to get docked to half HP because of neural silencer
What major/minor are people planning on using come heroic week?
I've been using BotE/Lucid but according to my sims Worldvein/Lucid or even Lucid/BotE will perform better.
Bote
BoTE/flames M + lucid m
Probably
If the others sim a bit higher, you can go for them too
Worldvein is assuming you have other people using it too
Yeah lots of my guildies are high on worldvein atm
12 yards doesn't seem very big but i've not used it
would mean you'd need 3 melee though probably right
My BotE is only rank 2 =|
the tooltip says 12 on rank 2 for me but eh
not a clue
seems like something that's way more sim friendly than the actual game
Yeah im not keen on worldvein. Feel it has too many limiting factors. Also primary stat is zzz
!Essences
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
thats resident sleeper
What major and minor is the to go atm?
2 messages up dawg
What are the top 3 benthics to try and roll for?

This rank 3 is a grind tho
what's people's thoughts about benthic gear for assa? Any pieces in particular to keep my eyes on
Pins say blood is only good aoe
I would never
Is it worth buying benthic gear for 5 pearls to hope for sockets?
@sick cradle pins
or save pearls and get from WQ etc?

no
Not particularly, the minor is awful
Hmm. And I guess it desyncs vendetta and vanish
Yes
90% of the messages here are just:What essences are we using? What benthic gear is bis? Vision is Pog???
Welcome to spec channels during new patch
Making pins doesn't help because people don't read them so sorta un-counterable
they don't even read any messages
I mean if it was only messages that you could see while scrolling up I'd understand but cmon
I think its probably alot of players dont actually know about the pin function. Not that they dont want to read them
That's the case on all DIscord channels. The pin system just isn't very good. It doesn't put the information in front it's more like a back page ad.
The dk discord has a better system than pins
Do they just put it in the default channel?
That'd be much clearer
Pretty much all the discords have this except rogue lol
that would be bis
2Head discord
diff is we have pins and a website that's super simple to navigate, just craves that the average person activates brain
Anyways not a discussion for this channel 
!essence

Haven't been paying attention much but what's usually average env uptime
the mage discord is the way it is because for some reason they really prefer using forums
Please, stop this conversation.
If your using deeper stratagem would you use lucid dreams as the minor still?
Only normal @timber meadow afaik
but maybe that was just from the kills?
You can track it
@muted cove just sim it. I'm running DS and lucid major better for me
@rigid mango you mean just looking at achievement progress yeah?
or is there a more detailed way to track specifically where my honor gains came from
yeah i started at 15k yesterday and ended at 30
and was running almost exclusively rated
ill do it for science today though and just look at my exact progress before entering the rgb and look at it after
15k a day? holy
ttk but not sob
Atleast 1ss, then a mix of ss/eb/ttk depending on what you have or want
en 
Hello i am phone
Hi phone, I'm dad
We in boys
Is worldvein resonance worth having the raid use? Compared to lucid/flame for example when you hit 55 neck
Is there a particular number where it overtakes the other minor? Sorry if it's common knowledge. Couldn't find it through pins or random resources I've looked through. May have overlooked it
😄

which profession is prio, LW or engi?
If you are doing any kind of M+ Engy on a rogue can be priceless
Are people going for force multiplier x2 now instead of crit nav and haste nav?
I don't think that's going to happen because all enchants dick each other if used twice
You never wanna x2 weapon enchants
iirc
any set list of bis gear fro benthic etc out yet?
but is it worth to gamble already with the pearls?
So i'm kind of new to Assassination, I was reading that Haste is our priority secondary stat, but it seems everyone is gearing towards crit and vers. Is this because they hit the haste cap?
@modest vector sim it... its basiclly the basic answer youll get here
@fathom wyvern mk thanks
Essences and new items have pushed people's priority away from haste
does the sim when simming benthic armor take in count that we are in the new raid?
Yes
if u tick that option yes
When am I supposed to click the punchcard trinket in the opener?
so what simc settings do we want for a prio rotation sim?
i would say when ur low on energy
Before vendetta @autumn slate
Why is that
And after the cast (so while youre channeling) you can still use abilities
I thought its buffed by vendetta
It is not
can somone parse me the id from ttk?
finally rank 3 lucid 
@vestal wren 273488
Oke thanks @spice surge
ID for the spell or the ID for simc?
is there any point of saving pearls atm or should we try gamble for gear already?
181 in the other case
the azerite power id, so i can replace powers with ttk
You funnel gear from alts into your main, then use main's pearl to upgrade
oh, and is it still only a 10 we need to do for a maxed weekly chest?
thanks
Nothing will change with the pearls when the raid is released
You will be able to upgrade it 5 (possibly 10, but afaik they removed that upgrade from the ptr) more ilvls, thats about it
Well, you cant spend the pearl on anything else anyway 😄
