That's literally an uptime sim, on herodamage
Aw wtf, sorry I missed that
You mean the BIG RED ARROW
.<
chill

Im not on a pc, the arrows tiny on screen
I'm just glad I got a 445 chest with DD+NP so I don't have to use the UT chest anymore, I do enjoy the defensive prock trait for prog, but it just procs wayyyyy too often with the amount of damage that goes out
Make bigger arrows plz
will do
should you maximise the envenom buff uptime in aoe situations? To maintain it you should really be envenoming every other finisher, is it worth trying to get as close to 100% uptime as possible?
I can't wait to get the fastidious shoulders on wednesday
@frigid briar dont use it 😛
isnt it just fok - envenom while maintaining couple of ruptures, so its actually more than every other
env uptime doesn't matter in m+
Fok for max aoe with big enough pack, envenom for prio damage
Like you have 5 mobs and a really mean big one
Fok env fok env to melt it
don't think you just fok spam even after cap in M+ anymore with reaping gone, I mean you can, but if you have multiple ttk traits why wouldn't you just finish with envenom.
So just have enough bleeds for energy and spam fok and envenom pretty much, in a shell of a nut
unless you're pulling like 10+ mobs then it might be worth
It's worth to mongo fok at 5+
Damage per energy
if you are trying to pad aoe and nothing else, is weaving in enveoms into your fok spam a dps loss?
Thats why it's also recommended to just rupture in big packs outside opener and vanish
Assa aoe is tricky
A thin edge between fok spam and prio target, there is no right answer because affix, mob count and team comp play a role unlike outlaw and sub
At 5+ targets another fok is better than a 10% buff
That's true, in large caster packs you'll find yourself using vanish to refresh iron wire garrotes on those mobs. While in larger pulls there's almost always an emissary that needs prio target focus, at least in my own personal experience I don't find myself just fok spamming as much as I did in S2 without finishing with envenom. Although it does happen depending on the pull.
the envenom buff seems to be made for priority damage tbh, im guessing when your singling out an emmissary to kill you should be keeping the highest possible uptime on it anyway
it feels like your wasting the kit though
if you're doing prio target while aoeing you will have 100% env uptime
doesn't require you to think
How do I use the condensed essence on my opener?
Garrote -> Mut -> Rup -> Condensed -> Vendetta?
yes
okay nice thx
I will delete my character before I use clf
have fun deleting your char
R3?
Yep
Above what, bote?
Yea
50 dps increase over what 2 essences?
Soon we will all use clf 
Blood lucid
I'm not shocked
Waiting for the nerf
I somehow doubt that their design plan was for every single dps spec to be using the same essence
but benthic is
so if they don't nerf benthic, they dont nerf clf
that's my train of thought
Benthic is bis for everyone
The only reason other specs don't use clf is cause those specs have something else that's broken
Obv
I also don’t think it’s the play for zaqul
this was the combined effort of the rockstar developers at blizzard
So I’m free for atleast a little more time
I saw lots of ppl running protocol minor for zaqul so
Yea it’s pretty good
Hello guys. Ion here. With the 8.3 Patch we‘re introducing a questchain to unlock empowered benthic gear. This lets you upgrade your benthic items to 445.
🤙🏿

I‘m pretty happy though
Friday saturday sunday a lot of time to farm pearls on all my alts to roll bis sin gloves
🤗
is the dps increase big with the benthic ?
Yes, especially with socket
How do u guys farm pearls most effectively ?
Alts
I know it's in the pinned messages, but it's not very detailed. A little confused on how to open and follow up later on 2nduse with blood of the enemy
And MA
It's like the opener
Was it garrote-mut-rup-bote-vanish-tb-mut-env?
With vend before bote?
Or was it garrote mut rup mut tb vend bote env mut emv?
!essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
@lean folio do full story with all alts, and lab weekly all wq with pearls and dailies
On main i farm all rares as well
hi have a great day
do i hold tb for vendetta?
anyone got full rotation for MA?
It's in the guide pinned above but here's the rotation
Master Assassin talented
Garrote
Mutilate
Rupture
Vendetta
Vanish
Toxic Blade
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
How do we integrate BoTE into that rotation?
I dont play with bote since cba farming this shit so idk
MA blood big burst
before vendetta i guess?
after
k
you could also sim your opener
oh
since when we can sim our opener
how is that risky
Also a lot of people saying to TB after vanish I dont think thats the case 
you can get 2 MA envenoms if you vanish env mut env right?
i dont think it makes a lot of difference
makes like a lot of difference?
my tb crits for 20k a 4 point envenom crits for over 60
whats the point of taking MA if you're going to use lesser abilities in the very small window of its relevancy
I'm just curious
yea
https://i.imgur.com/2aEKbxu.png this is what it typically looks like based on my research of logs
the garotte vs mut as first global is the only thing that ever changes
@rigid mango i know that But except that How do u efficently farm on one char ? More than daily quests and rares
and the mut count for crit variance before TB
Thats all you can really do oggish, dailies + algans + rare farm group
You pretty much either use 2 mutilates+1 rupture in your first 3 gcds or you garrote mutilate rupture
- mrrl if lucky
the sim for me startet with mut mut rup gar
The difference is insignificant
Who do I contact for making a Subterfuge profile on herodmg next to their normal sin profile
so in the very first opener should i garrote or mut?
I garrote first because I have 1 SS trait
with MA?
So the picture above is about right then? so instead of vanish-tb, we do tb-bote-vanish-env-mut-env
yeah with MA...the other traits on that same ring are worse
have you simmed sub?
so we are fucked basically if we get less than 4 CP after the vanish-env
for me wehenever i have 1 ss sub gets ahead
I did before but MA pulled ahead...it's been a while though since I compared the talents
but whenever I vanish it's still the same where it's TB -> mut
the first thin after vanish with MA should be a big ENV
I thought I read on opener it goes from vend -> vanish -> tb etc
Some people think that? The guide literally says to do that
Yo. Are there any benthic-Gear worth having as assa? S:
boots & bracers @wraith lance
Sub actually sims pretty good for me. Barely behind MA
Ok, ty choke!
guides can be wrong
the raidbots sim also says to do that lol
i'm also not running BotE
I used to vanish into env until I read the guide for 8.2
!essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
gg if you have bote that + your crit + MA is just abotu 100% crit
Sad that BOTE sims little lower than lucid fit me. BOTE is a good time
yeh thats the good boy rotation right there all the crits
i need to get BotE
font of power, cyclo blast, phial of the arcane tempest - which two for m+?
the font is 415 and phial 435
Lucid sims higher for me but I feel like I rarely need it during a fight. Specially with the cyclo blaster being used when I have no tb and kind of energy starved.
CLF is big pog bote is small pog
Wrong
CLF won't sim higher for me until I get R2
currently Iris R2 + lucid minor sims higher for me...i'm so behind
I've had R3 since Tues it's big pog
@ripe nimbus does it feel slower for you ?
Feels about the same tbh just burst is insane
hmm
110k burst 
Maybe I just lost a lot of haste
We're u running lucid major before?
Plagued with having a 3 minute cooldown
No blood major lucid minor
Strange. I know I was running R3 lucid before and it made haste my lowest stat then when I went R3 CLF haste was my best stat good thing I kept all my haste gear lol
i heard the benthic gloves sims are bugged and they are simming higher than they should, is that true?
not afaik
They're not bugged, they do however have a cahnce to heal, but that chance seems to be 70/30 in favour of damage
And it does good damage
Sim is pretty consistent with logs in my experience
alright thanks
I just got the abberation belt with socket...moving onto boots next...think that's the next best % one
in terms of chance to get the right ones
The Heal on Crits hands are good?
Not for damage
screw this am not playing MA

MA is fun


Is the talent the problem 
i dps 41-40k with sub
which rank is your BoTE ?

there u go rofl
why use it before rank 3
I can understand that, thats why I didnt farm it
and thats why I farmed Lucid R3
instead of BoTE
fuck it am not farming 50k honor from bgs
so wait for CLF
but thats the problem here, dont use BoTE R2
casual 🤣
HOLY
Using bad essence, blaming a talent for it ????????????????????????????????????
is there a build for ma with condense?
3
k
clf + lucid
^
good question, idk that
clf users GET OUT
since I dont play with CLF (yet)
Imagine blaming the people that play with what sims higher ?


Some people are not struggling on heroic zaqul
Sims are the devil
So we optimize
i just use my thinker
Feelycrafts better 
sim slaves OUT
U use CLF on cooldown unless u won't get another cast in the fight in which case hold it for vendetta
i am a wholesome gamer
I didn't get mythic coral off ashvane last night that's the real tosic
hell yeah
ouf
Respect
Only rank 2 condensed and rank 2 iris what are u doing with ur life..
Wait farming honor nvm
haha
i raid saturday sunday 😭
also i need 1 thing for rank 3
litterally sitting at 35 since wed

iris r3 is basically nothing
i've checked the sims
who cares
Its nothing in sims
Iris 
Its big in real situations
perhaps
I mean someone who cares about rank 4 bote I would imagine doesn't care about sims
XD
i mean i'll get it
next week
hey hey
im simming just shy of 40k at 425 ilvl
fite me irl
nice
i need trinkets
i have 2 410s
not even raid trinkets
maybe i can get coral and/or font on normal later today
Saw someone get a 455 inkyboipod from normal

nah it was from mythic azshara
World first beat limit ez
could have been normal
4Head
at least a guildie has it
we need litterally every single point of dps we can get on Ashvane
Yes
it depends on your config or stat weights
for me bote 3 was 150 dps behind of cdf 3
ye but i simmed both seperatly for best stats and diffrent pieces
felt like bote should be better
Oh, then it makes more sense
specially with the font
guardian just pumps too much
would be unsurprised to see a nerf across the board
i dont see blizz liking that a single essence is bis for everyone
Same logic, they would nerf benthic
I have no problem with a benthic nerf
benthic is boring, got 455 boots and 445 gloves that are just useless rn
M+
ye ofc
It's too late to nerf it now though
Its never to late to nerf stuff, if blizz compensates with a slightly nerf to like boss hp
But we talk about blizz here, so wait until 8.3
It's not to late to nerf right now. They prob waiting for world first race to be over
Mark my words it will be nerfed
Yeah but that's too late.
It's already had way too big an impact on the game at that point
Tell that to the zul sub nerf before the tier was over
to be honest I would prefer them removing sockets from the benthic gear. Even when a lot of people (including me) invested tens of hours in Khadala gambling all benthic pieces.
But I don’t see how they would pull it of. Nerfing benthic would be a indirect buff to the raid wouldn’t it? So earliest nerfs to benthic would happen when all meaningful progression is over . By this time like everyone is stacked with socketed benthic gear . The uproar would be astronomical.
yes, that's what I mean with "it's already had too much of an impact"
regardless, this is straying far away from assa, #wow-general lads
Nerf benthic, nerf boss hp, raid fixed
!essences
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
guess raid trinkets are heaps better anyway but
Yep.
which azerite piece should I gamble first?
Droptimize sim yourself
is there like a really really good piece that I can only get from vendor?
i want BOTE back

Similarly
how I can use dribbling inkpod as assassin on multitarget? I saw that my fun of knife don't trigger the stack or I'm wrong?
I see no other way to compete as assassin against outlaw
triple SS / EB
Thats meh
use iris or bote
its good on bosses
Its just like playing poor mans outlaw
sneak in a TTK if you can in place of one of the EBs
it does a lot of dmg
YMMV, my outlaw set outsims my assassination set in dungeonslice pretty easily
my real world results are always way better as assassination though
Is there any point in tracking envenom uptime? If I have 5 combo points and 5 seconds on envenom buff do I wait or just hit envenom?
Assa dungeonslice is not accurate
Thinking outlaw vs sin is about dmg 
they both have decent dmg
really the question is utility and control
that's a terrible reason
outlaw has gouge
give it back, bliz
would you say assass is more consistent
MORE DAMACHE
You don't understand how tired I am of this exact conversation
to be fair i rarely get harassed about outlaw/sin life choices in-game
it's only in this discord that people get mad
I can't spell
"you are doing x content, you should play y"
Bad people think there's a big diff
i mean i could see it last season
i mean i would've never said it
i just meant i could see people saying it
but now its like w/e

Well at least for ST there IS a big difference on outlaw vs sin @rigid mango
Not really.
I would go back to outlaw, but Assa is just better for raids and ST. Aint rly doing Well in this spec but still more dps than in outlaw.
Yes, really
Assa 40 outlaw 30 that’s it
xdddd
Xdddddd
Seeing as how they really aren't that far from one another, nah
Shit dice rolls and u can Log out as outlaw
Good timing on 5 buffs i guees
Once i roller 5buffs like 3 times in a single dung. And 2 times on a raid boss.
Fine but not Assa fine xdd
@rigid mango do you have the blackwater chestß
Yep
fuk u
Got 1st boss/tent/blackwater on atm

I hate rolling 5buffs into a wipe and constant single crossbones on kill
that was ages ago tho
I know but they reduced the timers on kingsrest etc again
if I remember correctly
since they thought they were too long
Also increased % needed so
we wiped like 3x at the beginning but it was still intime
Digging through the fighting for an answer was fun
thanks rogue discord
I love you
Getting benthic wrist is a nightmare
So rank 3 blood is better than others for major?
yah working on rank 3 for that, just have memory, blood right now at rank 3.
@dark crag the fish one?
clf is ~400 dps better than BOTE for me, but people's sims are different
(both at r3)
Frost damage one probably
Mechagon trincket still better than Heroic palace ones?

mechagon trinket is high value because it doesn't have to be used inside of your cooldown window, which means that even though it's a second on-use it can still be paired with azshara's font or ashvane's razor coral
effectively and easily
Should we use font prepull?
yes
Thx dad
I wonder what I need for 45k
probably another socket and better rings
do you guys use coral in m+?
benthic gloves 😮
I suppose there isnt any other way in farming titan residuum except weekly cache and salvaging azerite gear? need 7k lol
If you've done your island cap, yeah
chance to give 5k
That would help
Last 2 weeks for me island map has given me green mail gear mission 😭
\o/
Suppose the chance is quite small?
not really. You can get gold, AP, or the residuum.
still MA with 2 shroudeds?
probablynot
Is the Font usage in any of the pins? Didn't see it.
sim it.
naw im only asking cause of that 44k sim that was posted
the sim is a gear compare sim
My follow up question is if you are using font and cyclonic.
the damage is what he would have if he had thos items
I am.
your cyclo usage doesn't change
it's still outside of vend/tb and low on energy
right. so font is just 4 sec before your next set of vend/tb?
like after the initial pull
is what im curious about
You font at 5 sec on pulltimer
Is it correct that we open with Garrote when we use MA talent? Wouldnt it make more sense to open Mut - Rupture - Mut - (MA drops) - Garrote - Vanish - TB - Envenom - Mut -...
You do what you said if you have bote afaik
the diff is so smally it doesn't matter anyways.
Thank you, zine.
Got 2 residuum missions 
Niceu
Didn’t know the Mut - rupt- mut opener was only for BoTe. 😑
I don't even have bote and still play subterfuge 
Just pump. Get dps. Ez boss kill
I played Sub last week. Switched back to rogue from boomie because casters suck. (I tend to jump while dpsing) changed to MA this week. Pretty close tbh
Do you ADAD during playing as well 

Really helpful when I get frost on first boss
Hey guys, question regarding assassin. I have an azerite piece that has shrouded suffocation, which I will go for, but then the decision between Meticulous Scheming and Echoing Blades. Meticulous sims higher for single target, but Echoing Blades is really nice for m+ (if I don't swap to outlaw as the costs currently are too high).
Should I pick Echoing or go for meticulous just for the single target dmg?
Depends on your other traits and what content your doing. If your rocking DD and the vendetta one (can’t remember name) then met will be better as echoing and DD contradict each other
Both of the options suck, but yeah, met
okay, thanks
The guide /ravenholdt said that shroud was still the 'go to for' trait even though DD sims higher. So I sticked with that
double blightborn is so good
Does the extra attack on echoing give cps?
@acoustic latch it is, for cleave fights. It's not far off of the main traits but a bit worse
there also aren't many cleave fights
so for the raid, you would pick DD over shroud then
yes
Unless on court, yeah
theres almost nowhere SS is being run over MA except court
And even court
Theres still so much MA lol
I really need to get 2nd azerite set to lower the costs 😄
There's a very neglible diff between the two, even on that
worst part about have 445 gorak tul shoulders
what do you mean with MA, sorry
Any cute sin rogues awake this morning
The talent
oh I am still using Subterfuge
yeah with ss
but even with SS, MA wins out with certain other traits
am i not cute @nimble tartan 
sometimes
I'd just never swap to sub
So in my current situation,. 3 azerite pieces, 2 with shroud, 1 with shroud/DD choise. I would still go for Master Assassin trait with the 1 DD ?
so only with 3x DD I should change
Specifically with no SS, instead of any amount of DD
I do what the sim gods tell me. Which right now is Sub/SS
yeah
alright thanks
how do you sim pre pots on raidbots again?
is the opener still garrote, rupture, garrote?
!guide
Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
the openers are in there
umm which one is the optimal? 😄
ah ye, so it's the same still. thanks
The one on the left, technically
but the diff is so small that it really doesn't matter
unridled fury or focused resolve for eternal palace? any suggestions?
unbridled.
@rigid mango i might be special boy but i can't find more options 😃
cheers
oh, so the sim already chooses the best one for me?
doesn't it vary with the player?
When is the best time in a fight to use memory of lucid dreams? Right at the start? What if there is a lust at start, should I wait to use it after?
Does what, which one is best?
yeah
@fierce sinew pins
ty
nah, unbrid is always best for ST
ah cheers then, thats all i needed lol
they're 500 a pop so i wanna be efficient with my gold
vendetta window means during when vendetta is active correct?
yeah
and TB window is when toxic blade is on the enemy, okay got it lol
yup
i was definitely pairing the too and was feeling like it wasn't feeling right
*the two
Unbridled is bette raye
200 dps is a big gain tbh
I just want to get lucky with a 455 socketed spy glass so I can not have to worry about messing with 2 on use trinkets.
they're not rocket science tbh
Mainly running our of convenient buttons in my unconventional but otherwise effective keybinding scheme
I feel you my dude
Is there a way to make a macro for 2 boss fights, were it will cast something at boss 2 while targeting boss 1? no:mod garrote boss one, mod:shift garrote boss 2
yea
Something like that but actually worded correctly
/cast @Target
or /target Boss2
/cast Rupture
/targetlasttarget
or just use mouseovers
then do whatever your modifiers would be...
i have a floater hotkey that i just use for boss specific macros that i swap out
like in ghuun i liked to mash it to target the big worm to avoid targeting the wrong thing to get some cds on it
on rasta i had a hotkey that targeted my assigned CC target and blinded it
That could work but I was thinking more along the lines of what arena players use. One button targets opponent 1 same thing with a modifier targets opponent 2
This is probably a question for wow-general
Just use mouseovers imo
Make your modifier use the same ability but as a mouseover, and can use boss frames if your nameplates aren't convenient
a dude is telling me that when using coral in dungeons, if the mob you applied the debuff to dies, Coral gives you the crit anyways, even when you didnt use the "use" function of the trinket, and gets no CD on the trinket so he can insta use again. is this true? 
because by reading the tooptip what i understand is that u dont get any crit unless you actually USE the trinket right?
If stacks are removed, u get crit buff
Okay thanks guys. I’ll try those ideas out and see. I probably just need to change my trip macro to something besides focus target to free that up for something more useful
if you use lucid dreams, should i just burn all my energy after the opener and use it asap?
Use whenever you are starved for energy after the opener. Usually 15sec ish into vendetta
👍 thanks

Dose Vendetta work with the guardian condensed life-force summons?
hey guys,can someone explaine me how to use the coral ?
C O R A L
On pull to apply the debuff and then everytime with vendetta
And 20 secs before the boss dies
:P
should i use CoS trinket before or after vendetta?
Thats what I do and I believe most ppl that use trinkets with the same cd with vendetta
Doesn't matter both will be used at the same second regardless of the order on the macro
Np
@zenith gust by CoS do you mean lurkers?
yep
macro it to vend because if you vend + lurk + tb you get a bit of the last seconds of lurk with your next tb
yeah i only macroed it to vendetta, but didnt know if it made any difference the order in the macro
nah it's the same
guys, on MA opener, if i get 4cp on the 1st mut, it's best to rup and then mut again, or mut mut rup all the way ?
hey guys, im at 350 pearls and can upgrade a benthic azerite piece to 430. im not sure how to sim which one i should upgrade out of my choices, can somebody help me?
The answer is boots.
boots last
Then just best stats
what have i been doing with my life.
boots effect is flat 3%, doesnt scale ,rest scale
but just do a gear compare and add same ones with 430ilvl and check whats bes
best*
forgot i can edit, damn
So is no one talking about how we all got screwed on TR shoulder rolls tuesday?
420 ilvl, probs
well, 350 is for 430
ah i didnt know raidbots had a gear compare feature. thank oyu
Why would they, utterly un-intersting conversation.
430 on azerite, yeah
You can't get rest of ur stuff past 425 tho
yea, he asked azerite 😃
i threw you off with my fake news
im doing head, since head from m+ are worst, but thats because i run sub + exsang, and head has ss + dd + op
awesomeness 😃
Less damage 
well, when the choice is less damage or not playing wow at all... that is better option to me 😃
that's a lot of hate for tb
still less than for dfa as i played sub last exp and quit because that crap was far ahead
dfa
hmm, benthic helm has loyal as alternative for ss, so its not bad that way either, but then everyone in m+ group should have it
at what point do we drop elemental in our opener?
before vend
it kind of fucks up the first EP envenom but should be negligible
So, I am about to unlock my first minor on my rogue. What si teh ideal setup for major minor when you first unlock your minor? Obviously I'll sim but figured I'd ask ahead of time.
there are like 5 different combinations that depend on your character, simming is the only way to know
i dont have blood of the enemy yet but that one seems like itd be really good for toxic blade burst
any tips for people using coral in m+? when to use and what not
Pop it on a target and when they die it gives you stacks without setting off cd
So you just activate again on the next person
but wont the amount of crit gained not be much?
Helllo, I am new here and new to rogue (a couple of weeks in). I read the suggested guide with shrouded suffocation and Toxic Blade. How does the ideal opener look like from invis in mythic plus if there are let's say 3-4 enemies. Should I use empowered garrote on three targets and overcap my combo points or should i use empowered garrote and rupture, garrote on the other target and rupture and non-empowered garrote on last. Thank you in advance
It’s as much crit as that mob could physically get
Because you let it stack til they die
gotcha
is the coral even that great for m+?
right now it feels like my plumage gives me more value overall
Coral is insane for outlaw
just got one so trying it out
And I think coral is also decent for sin
Though I don’t know how good
Zine?
atleast decent i gues
small dmg boost for 1 enemy, more crit too finish the group 🤷 its something i gues
plumage is a ~10-12%dmg increase
@finite osprey you garrote all 3
now u all confuse me
I think font is the best trinket you can have atm for m+
Just about using it correctly
Zine what's your character called if I may ask?
@vapid scarab Thank you kind sir
Why do u want to know 
Want to look at your logs 
My logs are priv mate

Just prog
I hate how expensive everything but gems and food is
Hes ashamed of his logs obviously 
if I didn't boost I wouldnt have the money for anything
@vapid scarab May I ask if Dungeon Slice Beta worth using for the purposes of mythic plus simulation or should I rather use patchwerk with different targets?
Yeah no kidding 
@finite osprey it’s not great for assa
My logs are garbage, no one is allowed to see
don't sim sin for m+
😬
No you still sim
I'm looking 3 different builds on wowhead for assass, vanilla, Exsang, and Master Ass, do you all have any preference? Is one particularly stronger than another for ST?
m+ is more just knowing more than simming tbh
You just don’t blindly dslice
m+ is about when to use cds
you just ask what you should take and then you take it


alright coral sucks for low M+
m+ sims are turbo scuffed, I'd rather just go off of my knowledge > sims
since there's no accurate enough way to see
ok, I answered my own question 😄
The problem is that I have 0 knowledge since I am very new to rogue. I have to rely on something . I went through ravenholdt guide as well as wowhead in order to catch up. Maybe you could suggest an alternative resource, targeted specifically for mythic+. This is pretty much the sole reason I leveled my rogue for.
There really isn't one, that's the issue
😦
just ask man
The only proper source is following seliathan
He's streaming atm
Green name to the right
Thats the entire purpose of class discords
Ask questions here, people know stuff and will help
Aslong as the question isn't answered with check pins, sim yourself or look at the guide
It's not a bad question.
What is the optimal combination of azerite traits, because I've seen so many variations. At the moment I have 2 twists the knife, 2 shrouded suffocation and 2 echoing blades. Should I aim for something better?
That's what I'm running 😄
That's a sim yo self situation I think
no it isn't
It isn't, not m+
just kidding!
What are the best trinkets for keys?
2/2/2 is a good general build that will be pretty good for just about anything
You tjink phantom vial a good one for aoe?
you can specialize more depending on group, dungeon, and affixes
Paired with any passive trink, spyglass pref probs
Phantom vial sims close second on bloodmallet
but even then, 2/2/2 is gonna be great still
Is it OK using it if you have no font?
My unluck with trinkets is insane. I think I tried to get Harlam dice about 10 times + rerolls 😦
harlans is not even that great tho
It's not
I've seen a lot of people using it plus spyglass
Ye I got the dice not that good
and I farmed near 100 fh on all my chars total last season
I like to use dice for m+
raid trinkets beat dungeon trinkets pretty easily this patch
yet to get more than a vanilla 10 one
I think spyglass is just a more consistant dice
I'd value it a bit higher, but not much.
Is spyglass good paired with mechagon trinket which has an active for reputation?
That one's aight
but I don't think it's that good for m+
Raw damage trinks normally aren't as good as stat ones
i.e font, lurkers, plumage
Etc.
What combination would you suggest zine?
As BiS?
Font + spyglass
Font takes a while to learn to use
and is MUCH better if you're synced with your tank
By Font you mean Azshara's Font of Power?
Yeah
Thanks a lot for you suggestions!
It's really good, just harder to use than the other ones
I am sorry if some of the questions were stupid 😃
plumage is just on demand damage
Nah man, no worries 😄
new trinkets and all, warranted questions
@rigid mango should i sim patchwerk or maybe light movement? cuz it seems movement favours crit and patchwerk haste :/
Patchwerk, always
light movement -> https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jS4VeCiA1akef6wb6E7jpa
Dont sim lightmovement
Lightmovement is wack
^
Stick to 5 min patchwerk as a source for baseline sims
That's what everyone uses, that's how you compare yourself
That's the best way to see
light movement has interrupts in that make you randomly stop doing actions, so it can screw your output quite
Do we just use CDL on cooldown
depending on kill timer yeah
If you wont lose a cast from delaying it to vend, go for it
if you will lose a cast, use on cd
and or it syncs with hero
Has anyone tested a 430 phial in m+?
hey dudes, random question but i've been wondering about this. is it better to get an extra envenom in TB and let rupture drop for a few seconds or should i try to keep my rupture uptime up?
Damage trinkets are normally not as good as stat ones
It's always worse to let bleeds drop
plan ahead so that rupture doesn't drop in the first place
ah ok. is it worth to hold TB for a few seconds to renew a rupture then?
if you are in that position, yes, but you should never be there
plan more ahead if that is the case
You never hold TB
You'd rather waste a couple of seconds of non-pandemic'd rupture
than to hold tb extra seconds
got it. thanks dudes
Only time you may hold tb is if you will be swapping and wont get the full tb duration in, or something like that
Haha. No promises ❤️

No. Like they said plan better
Aha I see
never hold TB
Pool before tb is off cd
Yea
You fucked up planning
you're trying to fit 3 in each TB window right?
2 at the minimum, 3 if you plan well, 4 if luck
5 with alacrity
Should you use TB off cd even if you have 5 combo points? Or should you spend them and then use it
use it on 5 cp
yes
Losing 1 cp is worth it
Even 2 if it crits, doesn't matter
unless you wont get full tb on target
use tb.
What if rupture needs refreshed? I feel like I'
Where has eleem been? He loved that question
d wait until the next envenom
then u missplayed
what is CDL?
ah ok
What if the monster about to die like 5% or smth and your rupture has run out. Would you spend your combo points for envenom or reapply rupture
"Do we just use CDL on cooldown"

From what I understood envenom deals more damage but you also said don't let your bleeds drop 😃 I am a bit confused
I just assume CDL is condensed life force
oh ok
at that point
If it will only survive a short amount, u rupture a small one
2-3 cp maybe
and then keep puimping
depends how little 5% is
So rupture is always priority to envenom?
It's always good to have one up, yeah

Never deal in absolutes
hard to gauge
that's the only way to answer the question
👀
Well about 4 seconds maybe
Just finish it off
trash you probably always just env it at 5%, unless you're trying to rupture snipe for energy, bosses as long as boss is going live >4s, always refresh rupture
@vapid scarab Thank you too 😃
@verbal nimbus plan bleeds around cooldowns and pool for TB even if youre sitting at 5cp for 3sec
It says that u have to be stealthed to apply Shrouded Suffocation, but Subterfuge does bypass the "u have to be stealthed" thing, right ?
While sub is active SS is applied yes
Pog
Imo they should write that is works with subterfuge since ur not really stealthed 😄
It is a stealthed ability when played from subterfuge tho = stealth : )
I havent dropped this nugget in a while so here we go: outside of burn windows in particular (vend and tb). If youre maintaining both bleeds, and not capping E or CPs, youre not losing potential dps
Pool away friends
do most people have a raid set/keys item set
cuz these stats are driving me insane
im boutta keep them all in the same ballpark and call it a day
do we still used focused resolve for single target
different sets ofc
raid gear consists of 4 benthic pieces which are not that good in m+
i feel like u dont even need benthic until mythic progression
well mythic prog is already a week in
ye and people are getting stomped
ofc depends if you ar ehc raider min maxing benthic isnt a problem
yeah for sure
btw what is the best way to farm rank 3 BoTE
im just getting tilted trying to even stats
