Yes
Yes
got a WA for it?
that tracks it or makes a sound when you reach 30%
You guys use Font of Power in every boss? If not , which ones? Got coral , inkpod and FoP
So I just dropped this, and my second best trinket is My'das Talisman 440. How should I manage cooldowns of these? Or is it even worth bothering with My'das'es use effect?
should give you an idea of what to run
when you use vendetta again
Is it just me or is CLF rank 3 not as nice as bote rank3!?
then after the crit buff wears off reapply it again
ok ty
im correct in assuming loyal to the end stat boost doesnt stack with multiple traits?
just finding it weird a 2nd loyal is simming better than a scent of blood
Anything sims better than sob
why the fuck does undulating tides sim so well
but 2 loyal? if the mastery stats dont stack
undulating assumes you dont go below 50% health im sure in sims
true
pretty sure the mastery does stack no?
i read pinned message for sotb on ST, am i understanding right if i cast like this : vendetta>tb>sotb>vanish>finisher ?
Does rogue vanish give extra 50% crit on inkpod hit?
What is the go to potion now? Still unbridled fury even after the nerf?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/bhXNPM6RLAgBrw4W/#fight=14&type=damage-done&source=14 Heya, this was my first heroic raid on assasination rogue, I'm not performing good yet, can I get some tips?
Your opener is very bad
is the apl correct atm for assa ? i used a quick sim to see how it use font and noticed that the opener use muti muti rup gar

I also have the issue of having two on use trinket (Ashvane Coral & Lustrous Plumage) both 440 and I have no idea on what's the best way to use the CDs or if I should drop Lustrous for something else
@dense blaze what should I be doing? I always try to do 2 mutilate, rupture, 2 mutilate, garrote, vendetta, toxic blade, vanish, envenom
but sometimes I mess it up
You didn't garrote until 39 seconds that pull
And your uptime is sub 60%
Need to do better dot uptime
I'm also curious about how to manage both razor coral and font of power together.
should I bother using rupture and garrote in lucid dreams or vendetta?
I think most of my uptime is missing from these
Coral is already a little unorthodox, so adding another use trinket like font with it is confusing.
@strange python Definitely use garrote and rupture in both of those windows. They're still damage, even if they're dots... and they're actually high damage returns at that.
It is crucial to have both dots up
Though you should typically try to apply both bleeds before vendetta.
Anyone know about the double use trinkets though?
Coming back to the game, havent raided since ulduar. Sin still good for raids and mythic +?
font and coral are bis trinkets, they work fine once you realize how to work them in
Ok cool. Thanks Serra
font gets cast on prepull with pot then you do your opener, after 20s you apply razor coral to target, then pop razor coral on your next vedetta rotation
What's up with all the 2 minute sims
@strange python https://wowanalyzer.com/ try this.
put it at 8m make it realistic
âh fml ... was ,my fault.. simming for hc -.-
I don't get some of these damage sims like I'm at 35k I don't think r2 to r3 cdl makes that difference up
4k dps the r3 vn condens. on the same sim
Could visions of perfection work with a ttk build? Obviously it’s useless on linger fights but it could work on trash?
increase
0.2% increase for rank 3 condensed, think I'll just keep blood lol
Any pointers available for M Ashvane? Going in tonight on progression.
coral on ground hurts bad mkay
raja
Cloak the bubble
in a specific phase to cloak bubble?
i know it may be bad... but i found it easier to get thrown up and then shadowstep to the bubbles, better view from above :p
I just did it whenever targeted cause it didn't target me much

He means the explosion of coral shrapnel that you have to soak, I assume
And yes, it knocks you away
Thank you for info. Font sims better but i may run inkpod for this fight since its progression It looks like it would help on the execution phase
damn
Hey sorry for asking this but when do u guys use the coral ?
he must have had insane procs
He also has a 455 one
at pull and every vendetta ?
depends on your other trinket
It's in the pins
Should be using it with the second 😄
I trust my sim 🤷
Sim isn't updated
It's a APL limitation or smth
Since the correct way to use isn't supported by sims or smth
There should be a pin about ot soon-ish
for those who got Coral did you find your sims start to rapidly devalue crit?
They should devalue them a bit, yeah
I'm down to 800 crit from 1100 and its still saying go full into mastery
Are you running CLF as major?
Swap to outlaw.
next time
it's the one fight where I 100000% tell everyone to go orgo
It's a giga outlaw fight
Is there a weakaura guru out there?
switching specs should be illegal
xD It's sad they're all playing outlaw this week too
There is a WA guru around here, aint seen him today though 👀
Is it Worth to use coral + font At the same time ?
how do i use azshara's font of power + ashvane's razor coral
Will tell after this boss 1 sec
pot @ 5s / font / stealth / open 20s later apply coral.. pop coral at next vendetta rotation
you use font 10s before vendetta
than pop coral at the tail end of vendetta
you can sim youself and check the sample ability log
Sorta
When using font and coral, use font at 5 seconds on pulltimer and coral as soon as possible after that. At your next vendetta window, use font 14 seconds prior to casting vendetta, and coral 6 seconds into vendetta, meaning you get a 14 second window of both font and coral inside vendetta. Reapply coral as soon as you can after that.
From my own understanding:
Pull Timer 10s / pot & font @ 5s / stealth & opener, after the 20s internal cd on the coral trinket, apply to target and continue your rotation, when your next vendetta is ready pop it to use coral stacks and begin vedetta rotation again.
Hi! Can we get a discussion about queens court going
In what sense
What are you guys' thgouhts during that fight
yo guys do i need keep my vendetta for Azeroth essence on Behemoth
The thing is tho when my second vendetta comes up and i use coral, how about font of power ?
or use it on cd?
@silver musk pins
oh soz thanks
like
I literally
answered your question aggro
When using font and coral, use font at 5 seconds on pulltimer and coral as soon as possible after that. At your next vendetta window, use font 14-10 seconds prior to casting vendetta, and coral 6-10 seconds into vendetta, meaning you get a 14-10 second window of both font and coral inside vendetta. Reapply coral as soon as you can after that.
Optimally use at 14
In case anyone else is... challenged like me. You can have 1 of the 80 agi gem and one of the 120 agi gem socketed at the same time, you also don't need JC to use the 120 gem.
shouldnt the coral + font use be on the pins?
@light kestrel 80 agi gem isnt worth using imo
At least for me, it simmed higher then haste gem did
This is a feelycraft-free discord
Im not feelycrafting
"imo" never anything good after 😄
Mathematically it shouldnt.
Depends entirely on your stat weights
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jeReVDbQSC2fXeCpE2naya/simc
is it recommend currently to follow the opener even with the overcap of cps at opener ?
What overcap?
I assume he's talking about getting a 4CP 2nd mut
it got 3cp after fist mut which means you mut again
if it had gotten 4 cp it would have ruptured and then done another mut
The APL assumes non crit, I think
Wouldn't make sense
mut/rup/mut/gar/CLF/Vendetta/vanish/TB means overcapping with the TB a lot
yes. If the 2nd mut gives you 4 CPs. Then you garrote.... then you CLF/Ven/Vanish/TB
i mean i have 85% flat crit in ma without buffs
unless I'm completely missing something
sorry... by "a lot" i meant frequently, not "a lot of combo points".

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/area-52/brainblast got 50k residuum. should i cephalohide shoulders or gorak tul's mantle? thanks
Guys, bote r3>clf r3!?
@white basalt Sim which would be a bigger upgrade for you and then gamble from there/
is there a bug with font and using subt vs MA? When specced MA it drops my stealth but when in subt it doesn't?
@dusk onyx no, but you might need to change your shit around
Yes, with sub font doesn't break, ma it does
in which way do we think its a bug?
It seems nearly intentional
with MA or sub?
idk
How do you use coral correctly? I read then pin but wanted to make sure I understand it so use it with 1st vendetta let stacks build and hold 2nd vendetta until it gets to 20 stacks or just use it when vendetta is off cool down then rinse and repeat?
ok, thanks Zine.
Yes, apply with first, consume on every vend after and reapply after
with top gear, how do i sim azerite gear i dont have?
is ma stronger that sf or both same damage?
So Dont hold until 20 stacks then as I did some dummy test and vendetta would come off CD and stacks around 15 or so
@cold rampart What?
depends @cold rampart
@rigid mango master assassin or subterfuge
ss sims higher with my traits
Depends on your azerite
sometimes MA sims higher
st
wut
Single target
subterfuge
Ma is just a superior build atm
so the sim is lying when it says subt is better st for me eh
what traits are needed for MA
There are also very niche cases where sub>MA even without any SS
what traits are needed for subterfuge
i have 3 DD and 1 SS or NP available
You need SS for sub to be better
and it wants me to take the SS and subt
i guess maybe a lot of mastery swings toward subt
not really
well i have that and subt sims higher weird
i have 1 ss available yes, with 3 DD and the option for NP over SS
sim demands SS and subt instead of NP and MA
can i go 3 ss?
if ur crazy
i hate MA too, luckily my sim says go subt
everyone's sim says go subt
Based on your gear what the sim might take 1 ss and say to take subt. But you will still get more damage running the np over it because none of the fights are patchwork 100%
well the fight i'm caring about is ashvane currently
oh my god
@deft nymph same
this conversation is
as hell
Have you not been reading the conversation lol, fk it I'm out! Run what feels good to you.

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uSY7C38kcX6Yet5217Ubpr cant figure out how to sim gorak tul's mantle and cephalohide to see what would be the bigger upgrade
use gear compare
top gear
yea im dumb and cant figure out how to sim the gear i dont yet have, grab the item id from wowhead? insert where?
droptimizer, gear compare
Just go to gear compare
lik
Go there, and punch in the items you want to compare with
boys I swear coral broke my sims, it has me at 1700 haste and 800 crit and still wants more mastery and not crit 
ok i figured it out lol, thanks
Has you at 1700 haste, 800 crit and wants more mast? Makes perfect sense
are the mechagon rings worth farming for?
Almost all the logs I see anywhere near top 10 parses with similar set ups run at least 1k if not more crit though so it just seems strange
cant add gear to top gear? only gear compare?
hey are the AGI gems worth using?
Sim it.
Your ratio is prob skewed, mast will give you the most dps stat weight wise. The crit comes from coral.
crit only comes from coral every 2 mins
that seems like a horrible reason to dump tons of crit
When you burst
I mean ya sure , just seemed odd especailly considering I dont see any logs with similar stat lay outs
how often can the mechagon rings proc? Like the If/then? Just once per target or something?
Most of our dmg is in that window, so ye you will have the crit when you need it
does the item that u need for the raid essence drop every difficutly?
sort of
if you do the highest difficulty first it'll drop all the ones from the lower difficulties
so max is 9 each ID?
so if I do Heroic it also does not drop anymore on normal right?
I cant get any Essence combo to sim higher than Lucid + World Vein right now 😛
There isn't one, afaik
But worldvein sims are super sim pad
Realistically you wont reach that
clf + lucid sims better for me
Mhmm not running world vein Lucid + Iris sims highest for me
plus worldvein is communism
If other shit sims lower
it's because your haste is pisslow thanks to that combo
Fix that, and it's fine
That's the issue so many, me included, had
sim had me regem everything haste with CLF lucid
it was full crit with lucid/wv or lucid/iris
same
I should probably just regem/enchant for haste and take CLD+Lucid
Hello fellow Rogues, should I gamble for Gorak Tuls, buying random HC m+ Item (430), currently I have 27k Residiuum, 6 shoulders = 3 trys?. Or Gamble next reset for 445 random shoulder? 1/6 chance . Difference between hc and mythic Gorak tul would be 400dps. Is the gamble worth it? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sV7BL9qEY57KjZCEUxrLJi
I would gamble
Does anyone know if dribbling ink pod gets stacks from fan of knives?
ya
for queens court with at least one suffocation trait I assume subterfuge to try to get double empowered garrotes off would be better than master assassin?
DPS sub and SS will win out, yeah
does MA only start beating sub when you have no SS traits?
Yes
Even though for mythic court I think running MA with standard ST setup is better thanks to the strats in there
How do you boys open with condensed life force, azshara trinket and a second on use? I think I know the answer, just wanna make sure
CLF usage is in pins
oh shit, didn't notice ty
and for opening you should channel font before pull
I thought that used to be in pinned as well but not anymore
so you can stealøth
it doesnt unstealth you
oh, nice
so you just need to leave enough time to prepot after the channel if you are planning on doing one
Seliathan did a pretty good explanation on one of his streams. Something like 10 seconds before pull you channel. Then do your opener like normal, except hold toxic blade for when your 2nd trinket is ready
I guess it depends on what your on use trink is though
that sounds like he used subterfuge? You surely would want TB for the MA
also I doubt any on use trinket buff would be worth missing the like 3k agi that font gives
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/459087523 starts at about 5hr 10min mark
I'm not sure though, does the 4 second channel time of font give you a couple gcds of potential overlap with the trinket buffs?
wait im dumb i was thinking trink locket was 30 sec not 20 so you can double dip
Sorry to interfere but just a quick question.
Is there any situaltion that using Kidney Shot with Internal Bleeding talent results in higher DPS than normal rotation or any other better effect in raid environment?
I dont think so, anything you are going to be stunning in a raid youd probably get more bang for you buck using prey on the weak so everyone gets the 10% damage boost
just my thoughts though so take with a grain of salt
Does Blackout Barrel in Freehold only target rogues?
Are we talking font + coral or what
I'll do my copy paste if people need it again
I have a dumb 450 galecallers and azshara trinket
Should follow same laws as coral
I guess
When using font and coral, use font at 5 seconds on pulltimer and coral as soon as possible after that. At your next vendetta window, use font 14 seconds prior to casting vendetta, and coral 6 seconds into vendetta, meaning you get a 14 second window of both font and coral inside vendetta. Reapply coral as soon as you can after that.
There u go
Nice Zine, that makes sense. ty!
i personally use that for pvp its a powerdot and a stun, for raid if you can stun something id assume you want the whole raids dmg to increase for 10% on that target... even if its just an add on orogoza
The pocket-sized trinket can only be 400 ilvl right?
There's no other?
You increase the ilvl with the cards?
no, just shows fucked on logs
I can build a 425 via the robot?
It increases with cards
ah right
ok thanks
mine for example is 420
Quick question guys, does it worth it to pooling energy prior using Toxic blade ? Or it doesn't matter ?
you want to use every GCD possible during toxic blade
kk
You want 2 env minimum, 3 optimally within the window
So with MA is it always mut rup mut gar for opener or just with bote?
gotcha, ty for info
I feel like 3 is only really possible if you have CP before toxic blade or you get a double muti crit right?
I'll just force out the last envenom regardless of CP if TB is about to end
3 is what you should be doing
I guess thats something I havent thought of yet, should you try to have 3-4 CP before you use toxic blade each time?
And no Zay, that's a dps loss
mmhmm
The same finishing rules work within tb, 4+
using finishing moves at 3cp is never worth it
kk
except some rupture situations because the stuff dies really fast etc...
oh interesting
^
so a rupture with 3 cbp could worth it, to avoid debuff lost ?
I dont think it really matters if one gcd to cast muti will make your rupture fall off
like i said, on some SPECIFIC situations
It's worth to 3cp rup in very niche situations
neither does envenom though? its flat per CP like rupture
Still not worth it
envenom under 4cp is a huge waste of energy
so aim for 4+ whenever possible
kk
when something dies in like 10seconds anyway you can do a 3cp rupture
With TB, 80% energy is enuf ?
so would ideal TB be going in with 3-4 CP and going tb, env, muti x2, env, muti x2, env?
yes
ty
ideal would be tb env mut env mut env all crits
true lol but unrealistic
ideal you would do only crits the entire fight
indeed
😄
Blood of the enemy rank3 FTW
Is one Shrouded Suffocation enough for m+?
oof
and if you have multiple DD traits
more SS is better but one will help ur add damage a lot still
try too get your mutilate cast done during the envenom buff too force the double poison
when doing m+ TTK is only good if you go poison bomb?
You never don't go poison bomb, so yeah I suppose?
why would one matter for the other?
i think you only go poison bomb anyway no?
i got DDx2 and SSx1, i wonder is MA is the way to go

I think crimson tempest only wins out with like sustained 10+ adds or something so not worth it
god the SS - MA discussion is nuts today...
crimson tempest is ''bad'' because echoing blades is so good
wish I could get some EB SS pieces to mess around with
it was used in 8.0 in m+ sooo.....
Is Iris minor better than resonanse because you need to move all the time and can't have 100% uptime on the shard?
Guess it's fight dependant, but what's your experience?
for low movment worldvein is actually good if other people also use it, yeha
about iris, i think right now almost everyone is using lucid minor soooo.....cant really say that?
Since when crimson tempest + exsang isnt good in m+? 😮
since the last 8 months or something lel
lol
^
guess ive been playing outlaw in m+ since then
EB just means CT isn't worth it unless possibly in high fort fh keys but I still can't recommend it just because seli used it
SELI USED IT SO ITS GOOD FOR MY +13
Also should i use bote in m+?
(sorry)
Bote's good, aye
i personaly use bote for tyranical weeks
Bote?
blood
blood of the enemy
it aint worth it if you dont have r3
rank4
but yeha, blood ONLY gets good at 3
mm so I got 3 SS for m+ with nothing personal and twist the knife, how does a regular aoe rotation look like for me?
The Queen's Court (m) Pogchamp
first beg the tank to never chain pull
lol
I'm guessing garrotes from stealth, 3 ruptures and fan of knives?
then envenom on main
dungeonslice tells me 1eb is stronger than 2 or 3.... you guys think it's alright ?
i dont really trust dungeonslice
im pretty sure its like 70% single target boss and 30% aoe trash
Dungeonslice is not accurate for assassination
i do 3 sims, 1. for single target boss 4-5mins, 2. for trash 6 targets 40secs, 3. dungslice
So would not use it to get what traits is Good etc
dungeon slice isn't that great for sin
so... what you think of 2ss, 1eb, 1dd, 1sob, 1ttk? xD
I feel like dungeon slice is good only for classes that have the same rotation / traits for aoe and st
Decent
pretty much yeah
Ofc DD and sob is trash
my only other option is 2ss, 2eb, 1ttk, 1sob..... but i would replace 445 shoulder with 420
Get away those 2 and get 1 more of ttk and eb and you are fine
7 traits?
you can do a 6t 40s patchwerk sim to see if its better
I would go with the 2/2/1/1
hey everybody
dd doesn't really do much work in m+ so it would surprise me if it doesn't replace it
Can you grind the bote ranks by leveling in BGs?
ty all ^^
is the standard raidbots api correct for us?
@quiet forge 2 would be the best... since a lot of ppl have a lot of aoe xD
true xd
@vocal kelp i can replace that sob with np... you think that's better?
np will help with bosses tho
Since its tyrannical i guess i would go np
anyone else roll gorak tul cephalohide back 2 back
So is the opener with MA mut rup mut gar only with bote, or even without?
I have a gorak tul 445, is blightborne useful in M+?
when are people using condensed life-force in their opener?
before vendetta
Not useless but eb/ss/ttk is better for m+
@sour wraith ty
life-force is only good r3 right?
r2 isn't bad but r3 is when it gets really good
so basicaly lucid dream r3 is better than life r2?
whats the quickest way to rank BOTE
Mercenary bg/ brawls
AIGHT ty
i would use a custom fight script instead of 40 sec x target sims.
f.ex. like the m+ estimate i did. If you want to only sim packs you can use this:
https://pastebin.com/uEMEWVy2
its based on kojijama's pack size evalation a while back
How are people using rank 3 guardian essence? Wcl shows people using it in a TB window, is that so it will be active for a bit of the next one?
so essentially:
koji did take the m+ routes and wrote down pack sizes,
made a version with/without trivial packs.
I took the frequencies of those and made a fight style using it as a base
added a 20% downtime (had 10% in first iteration but was told 20% is more realistic)
is the inkpod trinket good without coral?
wow really nice @vestal wren thanks
Decent, ofc it gains value with coral but its not bad without
so its a sim with 6 packs with variouse pack sizes
that have an impact depending on the probability to pull those (excluding trivial packs)
how many stack of coral can i have on a target?
this version has a boss fight also: https://pastebin.com/UXKAbiX0
(so is a better estimate for overall dungeon dps)
so why arent these default options on raidbots
someone can explain me how to use Ashvane's Razor Coral properly¿?
Pins @vernal walrus

i look pins, i dont understand, thats why i answer here
Use with 1st vendetta, stack and then use during 2nd
How to use Razer Coral trinket?
- For Assa, stack the crit conversion use with Vendetta. Coral also has a great synergy with the Dribbling Inkpod sub 30%.
- For Assa, stack the crit conversion use with Vendetta. Coral also has a great synergy with the Dribbling Inkpod sub 30%.
thats what i see in pins, but what part of trinket i must use with vendetta? the crit or the dmg¿
so that means we activate coral on vendetta for the first usage??
and then use it on the 2nd
oh thx for answering @vocal kelp
@icy ember thats the point i cant understand
idk i'll probably look at the sample log of how to use your abilities
thought CLF will be more DPS gain https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/KPt5y9J49DgAPULwARCmw 
thats quite a nice gain
also if you gem & enchant some haste it will most likely be more
macro it to your vendetta broizer. the first use of coral in your opener will start generating the stacks. the 2nd use of vendetta will consume the stacks and give you crit buff
and then 20 seconds later when it's off CD use it again to start generating stacks
thought so played with Iris Minor before so i could spare a bit ghaste will sim it i guess
Your stats will change so better optimizing means more dps increase
how many stacks do you guys have when coral is stacking and you comin to next Vendetta Phase? im always at like 10-15 at max
@red plaza omg dude thx now i understand
@red plaza ye thx
you should probably update the note to say what lig wrote
just sayin
Although, you might want to get used to having it on a separate key bind if you do M+ and want to use the coral w/o vendetta
@red plaza you actually use Coral in M+? which Key Level and how many stacks do you generate?
2 min timer
2 mins
switching targets doesnt matter
thats why its actually decent in m+ aswell
not insane but not bad either
does like 3,5-4% of my dps usually
how many stacks do you get to on a boss typicallyu
How high can the coral trinket stack my dudes?
hm idk dont really look at it
@lost tree not really sure how good it is in M+ or if its worth at the 10-15 key range. But I'll usually put it up on a big target and will get maybe 4-5 stacks before it dies which will then trigger the crit buff without having to use it again
@dim sigil 99 
for real
i think i had 25-30 or so on tol dagor 18 earlier last boss
next vendetta so 2 min after use and stacking round about around 10 stacks mostly more
yes
Bingo
PogU
and then again after that vendetta
OK
and then again wiht 3rd
@red plaza thanks didnt know it trigggers when something dies
CLF with haste enchants is bonkers
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gWdHXBiPWTfBEnW39rd6hZ
I'm changing from outlaw to assassin bu my simulation is saying that my gear with less haste is the best... Is that right? Like I have only 11% haste now
Are you running lucid major?
Minor, with blood of the enemy major

Any of you guys play with 2 usable trinkets? And how do you manage?
whats the best potion to use in raid for a sub+ss build? i see alot of people use unbridled fury
@mint kindle Yeah i play with azshara trinket and coral but kinda lost too about what use before what cause when u use azshara trinket u got 20sec before using coral
you use azshara trinket 5s before pull -> stealth -> pot
then pop coral when you can
for second vendetta onwards use azshara 14-10s before vendetta
then pop coral when you can
use it when u can xd
for that you just use it whenever you don't have energy
"outside of lucid, tb and vendetta when you are under 80 energy and rupture lasts at least 4 secs" its on the pins of wow general
usually about 45s into the fight
depends on hero and stuff like that though
When using the Guardian essence, do we use it on CD, or wait for it to line up w/ Vendetta?
pins
Bless
Seen some Method bloke playing triple twist the knife is that better than stacking double dose
@vapid elk any good auras for tracking the buff from gaurdian of azeroth
went back to Sin, last nights raid all the way to ashzara i held my own at top 6 or so, im quite proud, simming at 27k, and maintaining 24k average, i have work to do but im getting there. i think.
let me pop WoW open, run the sim and give you a link.
27k was semi optimised BoD sims,
guess im just bad then
Link a sim, I'll give it a glance
running it now stand by one
@weary tulip N, twist not better than dd, but not worth dropping ilvl for dd
yeap i know those things
and using sub optimal enchants and gems
spent all rerolls since the raid came open trying for new ones
i thought i was supposed to follow the sims enchants?
also not utilizing any of the new benthics
thats where most of your damage loss is.
benthic gear is useless in M+
you are using old gems/enchants
i have choice between ttk and undulating tides, sim says tides but i've heard it's overestimated in sims. what should i take?
ttk
Oh M+ lmao
other traits are 3NP and 2 DD

go outlaw reee
still ttk @remote saffron
all righty, thanks!
Gotcha well with the EB nerfs its kinda idk
I think people are stacking SS these days I'm not your guy for M+ sorry
guild doesnt do mythic raiding, we raid 4 hours a week. im just trying to keep up with the warlocks and mages, while working 80 hours a week. its very hard
mix between TTK, SS & EB depending on what kind of damage your group needs for m+, stack crit & mastery
455
heh, of course of all the 455s to get from Freehold ... vers/mast gloves are what I get
yes neck level, can go to level 70, 473
cloak, legs, boots, ring, really anything but hands 😃
i guess wrists are kind of lousy stats too
stronger than this https://gyazo.com/a8e4752bae363c9b8126e6c2e68cefbd
15 ilvl difference
Prolly cus of OP and TC
tc still strong?
Yup
Tc is decent
Just like ttk is decent
But overwhelming power is by far the best trait in tjat category
Which makes up for the ilvl difference
why do you even use tc when the helm has np
NP loses some value when it has multiple stacks, first stack is a big dps gain and TC might catch up if he has more than 1 np trait
i head ppl saying 1 np is enough
maybe run a sim instead
tc is a mediocre trait
because agi doesnt really scale that much
so it was alot better when we were 400 ilvl start of bod than we are now
Even past 1, NP is still an insanely good trait.
you can get more than 1 NP for sure, the first is just the biggest dps increase
Np is indeed a really Good trait and i doubt that tc is Close even woth multiple np traits.
guys how do i sim wth custom encounter?
Wdym
fuu linked his custom settings for simming
What is more important, applying my razor coral debuff again after I hit a vendetta, or using my cyclotronic trinket to get that on cooldown? I'd assume Razor Coral to get it stacking but that's just my feelycrafting
Never use mecha trink during vendetta
Thank you @rigid mango ❤
glgl
mechanist's garden*
I know it would proc close to on cooldown with our normal rotation but if you were past the ICD during a time when you were energy starved would abilities like kick help proc that ring?
Realistically you should be proccing it more or less on cd
Or is it just damaging abilities, I assume not since it just says 3 different spells
But yeah, using kick or other shit could help
Okay if it was so simple I wouldn't have asked smhh
I can do mut gar env
and it don't proc
sometimes it sits off cd for a few seconds
and i have to throw in a kick/tricks to proc it
tricks wouldn't work though since it isn't applied to that target?
Oh you'd think that wouldn't you Tek :^)
I don't get this game some times lol
So literally anything
What if you just applied poisons to multiple targets would that proc it?
no sir not poison application
because it says "same target"
OH
as in
putting poison on your weapons
got you
not poisoning a target
new meta re-apply weapon poisons during fight to proc your rings 😂
using heroic zaq helm over mythic first boss feels weird but OP is OP
I don't understand... when i sim it's tells me to remove azshara trinket i got the 415 one and put inkpot 435
link it
it is dw
Not that that makes ANY more sense
Yeah, with coral it's probably worth taking inkpod>415 font
The issue with font + coral is that it is a dps loss b ecause of two on uses
Hey guys, is asa ok compared to outlaw for m+? with 3x EB and a few SS traits
But the trinkets are so broken
So it makes up for it generally
but since your font is only 415, it'll be worse
430 + 430 will be better than either + inkpod, probs
So now i have to change the way i use coral with dat inkpod or ?
You use it as the boss nears 30% hp
to maximise odds of it critting
Sorry, you use coral near 30% to maximise odds of inkpod critting
@leaden garden outlaw is flatout an insane spec atm, I think sin is in a really good spot atm but don't know if it can go toe to toe with outlaw
has its niches and I've had no issue with it, but outlaw is just insanely good atm
Ok thanks im gonna try to time that with the coral next time
I see Zine, thanks for the input. How about raids, outlaw good there aswell?
Outlaw only really has orgozoa that it's better on
I think sin is better in every other encounter
But outlaw as a specc, is it generaly bad for raiding?
Not really, it wont matter for you whether you play outlaw or sin in raid, doesn't matter past maybe top 50 world
I have a new favorite @rigid mango
@leaden garden I think either spec is generally recommendable, outlaw is probs the best m+ spec in the game atm, sin not super far behind, and sin is probably the best melee raid spec that doesn't give some sort of raidwide buff, but realistically outlaw isn't far off.
Just stop it Vel

That shit is so scuffed it's insane
If only I had the behind the target one
for opener with font when do you start channeling 6seconds?
I think 5-6 seconds is a safe bet, yeah
and 10 seconds before vendetta?
14 seconds before as earliest, 4 seconds before as latest
Anywhere within that area works
cool, thank you!
glgl
would it be worth to use inkpod for progression on zaq/azshara mythic if going to a 445 inkpod over my heroic trinkets (430 font/430 coral w/ socket) is a 1k dps loss or should i tell my RL to shove it?
Hey do you guys know a weak aura or mod for details that display boss time to kill ?
@rigid mango idk what to use for pfp btw
Something so people don't think you're some dumbass with your dumbass questions 
after swapping to r3 condensed life force major, sim is telling me gem all haste. it makes sense and feels right, but is it worth it?
Yes.
what is the correct way to use Azshara font of power?
I fit right in this way (:
Vel get someting that flexxes that ur in CC
i meant for minor
yeah
i am, brain fart
basically what i was asking is if there is a solid risk of me having to regem anytime soon for raid
Probably not.
Gems are dirt cheap rn
gems are cheap...like so cheap
want weapon for gorgonzola + chest ofc
the dagger mission is coomplete
well, we all need a fat proc
but priorities
Fantastically #wow-general convo
!essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
He just explained why he’s rolling for sin, stop being a clown
Starting the entire convo off about forgetting seals wasn't sin related, talking about outlaw weapon wasn't sin related
I don't see what you're on about.
maybe you should open the dungeon journal and try to figure out why he rolls
more like #off-topic , but you get it.
You up tight humans are exhausting
its a boss with a loot table of 4 items, 2 are benthic slots its not that hard t o figure out
People who can't type in the right channel and get flustered about being corrected 
Bless your souls
how good is inkpod for assassinatino
The longer the fight the better it'll probably be

idk, I did a sim told me to put crit in a socket, replace my ring enchant to crit and my 120 agi to crit
Did the first two, just to see diff between 120 agi and 50 crit, now it's a dps loss


ill take my lap
is there a tl;dr for font and coral usage
The combination of the two?
yeah
When using font and coral, use font at 5 seconds on pulltimer and coral as soon as possible after that. At your next vendetta window, use font 14 seconds prior to casting vendetta, and coral 6 seconds into vendetta, meaning you get a 14 second window of both font and coral inside vendetta. Reapply coral as soon as you can after that.
tyty
Is the 14 seconds specifically to make sure your TB window inside vendetta lines up with both the font + coral overlap? Because there wouldn't be a 14 second window of font and coral but only 10 (font would expire 6 seconds before vendetta ends)
meaning you stack vendetta + font + coral + TB deeps?
I'm not exactly sure which is more correct
Since the issue with either is that it's not simmable
thanks to APL limitations
It's either like that, or popping coral 10 sec in instead of 6
meaning you get the 5 sec of your tb inside of coral
but afaik that wasn't a large gain through other sims
I think it is probably just that delaying your TB is a bigger DPS loss than losing 6 seconds of font inside of vendetta
So I assumed the way I phrased it was more correct
so to line your TB window up with the font + coral overlap, the 14 seconds is where it lines up best
I don't think it's a big gain though, that's the thing
yeah this is hyper-minmaxing
but like I said, I'm unsure what is the more correct version
I've thought of that too, but because of some fault in the APL or someshit (that makes my head hurt) it's not testable
Using font 10sec before instead of 14 isn't going to be the difference between you killing or not killing a progression boss 😂
So, I'll default to that which is pretty simple to understand and the gain/loss doing it diff should be minimal
I mean, there's literally no loss to using at 14 pre
since the trinket CD goes off at 14 pre
but the actual 30 sec of font starts AFTER the 4 sec cast
Inititally it was around using it at 10
but I thought of it and tested it in game to see how it worked
and it worked like I just said, so I just auto assumed 14 sec of coral within font + vend > 10 sec of it
5sec font would give you 1sec to stealth and prepot. That’s some anxiety
yeah I forgot about the channel I'm a derp
but only having 10 sec means you also get your next tb after the tb used with vend + vanish with an included 5 sec of coral crit
which might(?) be worth it
Like I said, unsure, but yeah perma minmax
does the trinket lockout start when the channel starts or finishes? I assume from that it locks out at the start of the channel
if I get another fucking toxic blade parried on pull i swear to fucking god I quit this class
it's literally one of the most tilting things I've ever played against
that and MA window being so tight, tank moves an inch and I miss a GCD and it's gg
It's nice wdym 
👀
New guild, Ashvane almost dead
Eng maxxed, LW soon to be maxed
feels good to be alive
do you guys run CLF as major or minor?
Major
so I guess where i'm having some issues then is the amount of GCD's on pull.
At what point do I use the active ?
the end of my TB window?
idk..I checked pins..only found for ashvane coral
you scrolled too far down
thank you re checking
if i dont run ss trait for behemoth boss do u guys dot both puffer fish n boss from the start or just boss then get buff
whats best way 2 parse on that fight without ss
MA doesn't affect cyclotronic blast
oh.. sadness
only affects rogue abilities
It does.
it does?
i know the wording is funky on either the buff or the talent
The talent wording is whack.
ye.
when is best time to use razor coral on opener for assasination
I dont see when to exactly use it in pins
should i macro it with my first vendetta ?
Literally whenever.
is it good to macro it with vendetta ?
or use it before or after
like right before or after on opener
boots i think r better right
i have the boots and bracers done, just wondering if i need to do the gloves too
in reality you don't get that very often
but the lowest i've personally seen was 0.6%
average is still like ~1%
boots are stronger and consistent yeah
any tips on razor coral ? for opener ?
