Of nacoo?
ye
i linked it but was erased by mod right now
Sometimes plays with seli high keys
I'm not shocked.
basically he's saying HB and CT is way better than PB, cuz PB is shit
Good players cna still have dumb/wrong opinions
sure
ok i ahve found it
i have a question
in m+ when you open up
what if 3 seconds are not enough to dot everything up with garrote
do you restealth to garrote everything else too?
in that window from stealth you should be able to get 3 targets with iron wire proc
and 1 extra just with SS and it'll put it on cd obvs
if you vanish you can get up to 7
but its more energy efficient to just garrote 3, then do fok + rupture
but once you have rupture of 4 targets
you should just be spamming FoK and envenoms
tbf if the pack is >7 its probably a dps loss to envenom rather than just spam FoK at that point
I guess envenom on priority target right?
ye
assa is so much more complex than outlaw
works really well on packs of 4 tbh

garroting all of them, applying rupture then just fok evenom
but yeah with 3EB if you just spam FoK on +7 targets u should get like 100k dps xddd
true LUL outlaw
@shut garnet If i dont have x3 FoK and x3 Garrote traits, what are some good alternatives i should be shooting for?
ttk
i mean if you dont have access to EB you could go st for tyranical
but yeah ttk
ttk, np
not np.,
its bad but i mean youll do boss dps
thays the issue with assa its rly gear dependant
Np isn't good in m+
What potions should we use for single target?
I can get something like x2 EB x1 SS x2 TTK and x1 NP
It has very niche uses and isn't widely reocmmended
x2 EB x2ttk x2 SS @rigid mango ??
Yeah
Ok ill look into it.,
Is double dose worth in m+?
i know seliathan normally goes 3EB and 1SS or 3TTK and 1SS in some
One of the worst traits
Seli runs 3 eb in fort keys
the gear
Of specific usages
!essences
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
Its pretty good
It's not just your every day setup for him, not anymore atleast
yeah he did say its very dependant on week dg etc
There isnt really an overall best assa setup anymore
but 2/2/2 seems solid
There hasn't been one since s2 released
Assa has always been like this for the entirity of s2 and now s3
One last question, how good is scent of blood?
Bad
LUL
Very underwhelming and mediocre
if i'm running 2 nothing personal traits should i use visions or raid essence?
In your every dungeon use, probably better than both dd and np
Visions is atrocious
Don't use it.
Rip, looks like ill have to wait for some new pieces before i can swap out my outlaw set for sin in keys..
it's a lot easier to decide your gear setup when you play solely in environments where you know what your pulls will be
and what your role is
if you're pugging keys just get any mix of reasonable gear and press your keys
Sometimes it procs 2-3 times b4 vendetta get back
Doesn't mean it's good
It's horrendous, don't use it
๐คข
Generally, if you're pugging keys 2/2/2 will always work
double assa worth or nah 
It's good for sure
good but why not go double outlaw LUL
Sin is currently a very potent spec so
best pieces for 2/2/2?
hows meticulous scheming? never saw it before and rolled it today
Really bad
hmm i guess i'm running full single
@shut garnet post nerf assa is prolly better, no?
huh
anyone know how i can sim teh 2% benthic for Aberrations ?
really?
tyranical week i feel like sin gets some value no
Outlaw does +- same
They're stupidly bropken
utility
I've got 2 DD, 2 NP, 2 SS at the moment, will that be okay for tyrannical week?
wouldnt assa be +- better damage
well, theyre still broken, just 33% less broken
than outlaw
well
isn't only utility outlaw has on assa is gouge?
and stuns
ranged stun, hook

hwat
its rly strong
????
reaaaally doubt that it's worth staying outlaw
just damage wise
and you can play around not having BtE
or gouge
tf do u mean people starting to play outlaw over sin in raid
lmao
:kekkw
assa shits on outlul on st
nt outlaw nerds ๐
The reason outlaw is better is a rotational stun that applies prey, gouge, vanish on lower cd and being able to use it without losing any dps
It has a near perfect damage profile for current m+
No.
15% is a LOT
not about dthe dmg
getting a cephalohide 445 after using a 420 mekk chest this whole time โค
thanks RNGesus
what do you mean it's not about the dmg
TRhat wasn't a nerf tho
when you are doing 15% less overall and 33% less aoe it's noticeable
ofc it is
Do you not realise
and stun+gouge isn't that big
outlaws strength isn't from dps

it's from utility + it
yes
don't think anyone said outlaw would be significantly worse after the previous wits change, some people predicted a bigger falloff with the removal of reaping but ye
you can have all the utility in the world
but if you can't do enough damage to kill 100% of the trash and the bosses in time
it still is a dead key
idk if you think outlaw is going to do 0 dmg or something
post nerf I don't really know about that dude
it'll still do comparable if not better dmg than sin on most pack sizes
15% of dealing 150k on a pack of 8
Like
is noticeable but
we're back to late season 2
outlaw does less damage than an optimised sin
but has way more utility
thus still arguably better
being able to solo handle a mob in a pack is pretty valuable
applies what
if you don't even know what the class talents are why bother arguing :thinkyface:
Not my damage @zine but thanks for being a smartass. Just showing that Outlaw dmg is still fine.
You're using anecdotal evidence to prove balance
Don't find that to be a valid argument
We should really make a PSA pin in sin
telling fotm rerollers outlaw is still fine

Yeah it's really good, as a one of atlast
Iโm not rolling to sin from outlaw :p
Iโve just only played sin in dungeons and starting to raid now
Thatโs true
Are the outlaw nerds even that massive
outlaw damage really carried my m+ runs lately
whats the weak auras command?

they're pretty sizable nerfs but the spec was pretty sizably ahead of everyone else so
Alright thanks

ty I didn't see it in the pins
There you go
the base template for azerite gear is still zaq/gorak/ceph with blackwater chest being interchangable so
get mizerok's wa so the poor guy can eat today
3dd1ttk1np1bbi3op
Would 3 DD be the most important then?
It's very good, yeah
dd is just the most available very good trait
like if you try going 3np you end up
Aight cool
with shitty inner traits
or shitty 2nd outer traits
dd usually comes on pieces with op and something tolerable
whats zaq
ceph chest?
@cobalt pelican
o head from zaqul
guys can you pray i get ceph chest tomorrow?
I'm at 3 dd 2 np 2 ttk but just 1 op (2 gutrippers ๐ฆ )
i need the collective energy of all the nerds here
i am giving you my ceph energy
O_o
well i got gorak =\
zine stop the ss plz
i'm getting my goraks tomorrow : - }
sass*
@cobalt pelican hf with ur sanguine monst and mydas 
no
I have 430 goraks ๐
i already got gorak
yes (:
mydas 
forever hoping for 445 gorak and ceph
i got 440 inkpod =X
isn't blackwater ss/ttk?
true

dont we all
that toxic "(:"
he cant be toxic
zine is a drama queen
his profile pic is a pacifist
r r r rank1
ok people talking too much about pfp time to change again
So if I have the 430 mechagon helm and goraks should I just roll on chest pieces until ceph?
And pray I get zaq helm?
Depends if you're raiding or not
Then the chest from blackwater is BiS granted you have enough other loyal users in your raidteam
Ohh is loyal actually good
Insanely so
Oh damn what does it do again?
I kind of just neglected it thinking it was garbage ngl
It just give flat mastery
gives you mastery up to 4 allies
how is it at low stacks/if noone is using loyal?
Oh shit
Thatโs nuts
Loyal is quite meh if no one else is using it
@icy ember when I was simming myself it lost out to NP at 1 stack. 2 stacks of it was +50-100dps and max stacks was a 550dps increase
If you an guarantee 4 others, it's real good
it does have a maximum range,but its high enough it shouldnt be an issue on most bosses
just to make sure I understand sin rotation, after opener, I keep up rup/garrote, use cd's when they come up, and try to fit in as many envenoms in toxic blade as I can?
Do you guys have any tips for logs on court?
Think 3x ss, 1x eb, 1x blight, 1cx ttk would make any sense this week or just 3x ss, 2x ttk 1x eb?
mostly for that do not repeat part
awesome!
do you just alternate mut and poison knife?
no?
@rare pond that's about right. it gets a little different with CD's once you get 2 on uses like coral/font/cyclonic but thats about right
Never poison knife
I didn't realize it was that bad lol
poison knife is kinda inting
how should i go about using the Ashvane trinket during the opener? or wait till it builds a while
and have it stack until next vendetta. assuming no font ofc
@red plaza ty!
you dont lose THAT much by getting the silence sooo.....
i forget, does detection work?
ye
oh it gcds tho
Just forces you to pool lmao
is the silence longer on mythic? not there yet ecks dee
hello all quick question when do you use font of power? and is it ideal to use font and coral if you have both?
for zaqul logs ignore the adds in the begining or nah?
I feel like they die just as i apply dots on them
Crimson tempest or Poison Bomb? I am currently in a plus with a sin rogue running CT.
Pretty sure someone said yesterday always PB
guys, I'm having problems with my stats. The raidbots is telling me to put more mastery, but I've seen ppl with very low mastery and a lot of crit. I tried to put more crit, but it didn't help my damage, it was like 26% crit
Follow top gear
I'm doing it. The stats I'm changing with gems and enchants
Gear and essences change your stat prios
Those people you saw, what were their talents and traits, essences?. Maybe they simmed themselves and crit worked better for them but that's not for you.
Whats a good chest piece to look for ST
I think they were using lucid dream and blood of the enemy
Both Lucid and BotE as major essence can heavily swing stat priority. Your best bet as Zine said is to just follow top gear for what you currently have available.
my ilvl is 429 and my rogue does 21k dps without burst. Is this normal?
Like in a raid or?
There's no burst for SIN in M+ so I am not sure what you are doing.
I'm talking about vendetta
I'm using elaborate planning, subterfuge, vigor, toxic blade and poison bomb
Seems fine for talent selection.
What azerite traits are you using?
lucid dream level 2 as major and blood of the enemy lvl 2 as minor
sin is very trait dependant, so that'll matter a lot
Tod, if you have a link to a raidbots top gear that would likely expedite getting you suggestions.
This is reminding me of the people in Legion that called Relics ARTIFACTS and were impossible to get information out of.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3QF8GNgpeD8HX4WZQTtueB So this is my setup right now, best traits i can find, thoughts on keys 17+???
Wrong Essence btw^^^^^
Which azerite piece should I be gambling for?
I have 2 double doses, 1 nothing personal, 1 twist of the knife, 1 scent of blood, 2 unstable flames and 1 overwhelming power
Is there an accepted best piece?
1 of those are good for M+
is 3 DD still the best?
yep
2 DD are useless, NP is useless, Scent of Blood is almost useless.
And there we have it, you need at least 1 ss and 1 eb for it to be viable
Twist the Knife is fine, and the UF and OP are good.
Roll for gear that gives you either ss/eb or ttk/eb
The raid will give you ss/ttk gear
Thatโs the pieces you need to look for
Guys we should use tb and then vendeta for optimal usage or doesnt matter?
has no AOE traits WHY AM I DOING NO AOE DAMAGE REEEEEEEEEE

i mean to buff NP from bonus nature dmg of tb into vendeta
You want to use tb with vendetta, yeah
Note that the way you should be thinking about M+ is that ~70% of the total DMG is done through AoE, with ST (usually boss damage) being the remainder.
Your cooldowns all need to line up so you can vanish,vendetta and tb at the same time
So going into an AoE scenario with ST traits is going to gimp you to an extreme degree.
Pool some energy as well so you can get as many envenoms in as possible
I'm very noob with those traits
Easy fix at least.
You guys stacking 3 EB for m+? I'm using 2 atm
Some of your gear might have M+ traits already.
no i mean i can boost vendeta dmg from NP trait if i use tb before vendeta or doesnt matter?
Look for Echoing Blades, Shrouded Suffocation, and Twist the Knife.
Just focus on getting an ss and eb trait your damage will shoot up off that
Ttk is icing ๐
ttk aint for damage
Bingo
But ttk doesnโt make the spec work, ss and eb do ๐

Run back out and in quickly haha
lol
My guild did an mdi type thing with 2 streams going and starting the keys at the same time, i checked everything except for my azerite traits haha
thanks for the tips, guys. I'll try to fix my traits
The customisability of assa azerite traits is a great strength of the spec tbh, itโs just a ball ache getting them all haha
You can run out then change
guys if I use shrouded suffocation on 3 targets then I can vanish and apply it to another 3 targets ?
Sure why not?
It doesnโt work like that dracul:P
have heard something that it ovewrites the others ?
Pandemic
wish i knew that just finished the dungeon
And empowered garrottes overwrite non empowered ones
But they donโt stack when you vanish an reapply
ya you can empowered garrote 6 targets
I don't mean on same 3 targets
Oh sorry I miss read
it's not really ever worth it though unless it's a big, short life pack
since you'll end up having more bleeds than energy expenditure
it's probably better to just 3+rupt and then 3+rupt later in the packs life
Why not just blow it on a big pack for more deeps?
Depends on what adds you want to control I guess
Anyone using the engineering helm for M+? how do hey find it ; I don't have an SS EB helm yet ๐ฆ so might just make the 430 one of that if its decent
finally got 3 DB 2 NB and 1 IB
?
db and nb what now
hmm, what m+ trinkets this week ... got 430s of font, coral, dice, and spyglass ... hmm
font and coral are best 2 just generally arent they?
font + spyglass imo
font and coral sim best, yeah
and I was sort of thinking the same font and either spyglass/dice
I've not played much with font yet, just recently got it, so getting used to it a little
imagine having so much choice with trinkets while im stuck with mydas socketted feelsbadman
isnt font in m+ awkward since it takes you out of stealth?
It is, but I think it's worth it
Just channel whilst last shit idies
Stealth, keep it going
i'd be the overly careful type and only use it before boss pulls or if I could hang back from a pack and cast or something
that is a good way to use it as well, right as stuff dies, get a chunk of it on next trash pack
i just use plumage since its more convinient
That must be nuts on ST in m+
st in m+ 
I just use coral on CD in M+ cause I'm lazy
cause I don't think there is a massive difference, at least no in the smaller 10-14s I usually run
will prolly run spyglass/dice on fort weeks, EB crits for days
Font just feels too good imo
CLF or Iris this week for m+ I just got my CLF to r3, sort of feel like playing it, bored with Iris ๐
you probably need iris + 3EB + 440ilvl to get close to outlaw pack dmg LUL
Why not go blood?
Hey guys, can anyone help me... how can i use the azshara font in my rotation?
I'm assuming he doesn't have it
Use it Before you pull
yeah I don't have blood, I guess Iris is good this week really
And on windows where you canโt do significant damage
at pull? after my burst?
Use @ 5s on pull timer, repeat for each vendetta @faint quiver
Before burst
ty
ty
man, I want some mythic Blackwater chest for m+ ... almost want to waste 9k on a head to try and get some SS/Ttk love
Yeah man, must suck to not have it since first mythic clear
Yaknow what they say about gambling.
Can't imagine how that feels 
why what does blackwater have
isnt it better to have 3dd?
is there a skip to first boss in FH this week, anyone know?
Arguably BiS for both forms of content
for raid
Yeah
Close miz
i thought dd ttk was better than ttk loyal monkaS
Blackwater sims equal to cepha
But with the added function of if someone dies
The trair spikes in damage
Hence it's BiS, imo atleast
They're very similar sim wise, yeah
And i suppose YOUR dps spike for someone dying doesnt account for the loss of 30k avg dps or whatever they had right
Damage sways eirher way
Ofc it doesn't, but realistically people die
true LUL
Also I need to make some dumbas die for me on reclears for logs
Might as well make the best out of their death.
doesnt the loyal death buff last for like 2 seconds
Question: for M+, I have 40% crit 15% haste, and 38% mastery (no vers at all). I know I'm supposed to drop some of that haste but I have 9 sockets on my gear and two 455 rings with sockets so its hard to replace gear. I have the option of running two overwhelming powers, or one overwhelming power and one unstable flames. Which should I do?
15s?
its 15
ah okay
I'd love to sim it with it
In dungeon slice?
and patchwerk
Idk I havent simmed since I got the correct azerite. I have all 435 pieces, no 445 so probably not as much as you think
i got trophy today big uppie https://i.imgur.com/hoVMJrQ.jpg
Does anyone know which of those traits I should take?

gemhide, might aswell scrap it
Between op and other shit?
Usually two OP would be better but I already have too much base haste so idk
Two OPs or one OP and one unstable flames

Op is my source of haste for ST
When dropping all haste
yep
that boss is so fucked
infinite shadowsteps week 1
now shadowstep just goes on cd and takes you nowhere
For m+ exclusively
unless they fixed that
is 10% haste low enough that you need 3 overwhelming
No
I run 0 haste but neck and rely on op, lucid minor and 1 weap ench to keep my st up there
i have 3 overwhelming and still run 25% haste
This is m+ raz
oh
Shooo
nvm
raz with 50k sim
Should I run two OP if I have 15% haste in m+? I can't drop any haste without dropping crit cuz 9 sockets
So it is what it is rn
op is always the right choice ๐
how crazy is 9 sockets tho wtf
Not that crazy?
maybe if the other option was unstable flames
dumb question, is life force basically just used on CD or are we trying to line it up at a specific point?
everything else not worth
very
what Major Traits to run for in M+? since after EU patch goes live I will drop my Outlaw.
honestly outlaw very well could still be better for M+
even on 17-19 keys?
outlaw will still deal with trash better than assassin, even with the nerfs
are you the guy that the warrior discord smiley is named after
guess it kinda depends if you need more single target or more trash clear
@arctic walrus
feels like the difference between outlaw and sin on trash
is smaller than the difference on bosses
now
I had a 92 log on azshara and we wiped on 4% an on kill had only 79 ๐ฆ
ya but on a lot of weeks trash takes more time than bosses
Who
most weeks*
every week*
Doesnt 3x echoing beat outlaw on trash even pre nerf?
I heard it simmed higher idk
no.
Can anyone help me out or give me tips for dueling fire mage?
3 EB doesn't beat them, and even then you're gimping your ST anyways to run 3x EB
"play better" even tho i follow the basic rotation and tips
but like, nothing basically beat pre nerf outlaw for sustained aoe
kinda hard idk
there's a REASON they nerfed outlaws aoe
literally nothing unless it was like 40 mobs
you probably aren't following them very well
then UDK's win
thinking you're following them and actually following them are like different things
other classes have more burst aoe, but not the sustained aoe
@unreal perch idk what you are talking but 3eb assa already shit on outlaw on trash pre nerf
blade flurry is just nuts
whos excited to open boxes tomorrow
no it didn't?
455 weapon hell yeah
yes it did
people wouldn't run 3x outlaw then...
there'd be no reason to run outlaw over assassin if it "shit on outlaw"
how do you get excited to open boxes when you have everything already
you're like the rich kid at christmas
you dont understand the reason outlaw is picked
weekly disappointment ๐
๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
the fact that assa needs 3 azerite traits to compete with an outlaw 15sec cd
lol
says a lot
im excited for the AP @cobalt pelican
i mean outlaw needs traits too
but i'm really curious why it is that ausgelebt thinks that outlaw was brought
other than the fattest aoe dmg
from a pure aoe dps perspective outlaw cant compete with eb
@scarlet sequoia whats ur ign
outlaw just has a very strong overall kit
that sweet sweet stun DR from BTE?
Idk if you can count vanish that heavily since sin kinda gets it too lol
I'll give you that one
@scarlet sequoia ur gear is fking nuts
also the gearing is way easier for outlaw
how come u have so many haste sockets instead of crit tho
you're still absolutely the first person I've seen that 3x EB was better than outlaw aoe
i did what the sim told me to do @shut garnet
like outlaw was nuts for aoe damage
Anyone here duel or play pvp at all? no on ever talks in the pvp chat
it still is
Where can u see what stats u need more of
Just 3 eb is higher
tyvm
you need premium to do it tho
๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
EB vs. BF is entirely based on time spent.
top gear is not giving me any input on enchants, and im pretty sure i have the settings right
EB wins over time, BF wins in burst.
wtf are these smilies you keep posting
You do not have the settings correct.
@manic yew tick the box for replace existing?
man today is my day for rings ... 445 haste/mastery from chest, 445 haste/crit from FH
kind of need some M+ rings now ... go figure
well, my M+ box gave me a ring that's... 130dps gain :/ thanks vers...
a gain is a gain
true
better than my priests 50dps gain belt
two best stats for m+ are crit > mast > vers or crit > vers > mast?
vers and mast aren't too far a part just try to get a ton of crit
yeah i need some crit rings for sure
is 40crit 15 haste 35 mastery sorta ideal
for what
quick question, how is the engi helmet for sin? never looked into it
m+
and the helm is decent, i see a handful using it on rankings
tbf itemlevel got some more value with higher keys
I was using 400s socketed cuz it was highest dps
But switched fast to 440 when 280k freehold first boss 1shot me
๐
I just need to farm some crit rings ...
farming siege is not something I wanted to hear lol
yeah, and don't bother this week
yeah i have the 430 cirt/haste
ran a 14 and it sucked
@shut garnet for m+?
this week in siege ... nope
not just that, emissary spawns are terrible
that shrine ring is good, but that means running shrine which is so bad
you actually have to fight on the boat between the first and second boss
I don't mind shrine personally, depends on the week
ew, 29 crit, 19 haste, 39 mastery for my current m+ that is lazy, no regemming/enchats
What is Bis Chest piece for St rn?
Need way more crit if you want to pump
Ceph
@jolly garden cephalohide but behemoth is very good too
dope asf, ty
i'm stuck with the warfront chest but it isn't that bad
oh, the engi helm is a 1400 dps gain for me atm :/
how badly do I want to level engi lol
you have to deal with the weirdness of your camera shifting when using eng helm
just fyi
hmm
Best prepot for raid?
the other ring you choose a trait that either gives you haste or agi, and it makes you grow or shrink
it probably isn't that big of a deal but it might annoy some people
@vocal lion unbridled fury
Need that stupid Court ring I guess
frost damage
Hey guys ! As we all know Outlaw will be hardly nerf and will bring back Assa to M+ more than before. What do you recommand as Azerite trait build?
I have 3 SS atm, 1EB, 1 Double Dose ('cause I can't have anything else atm) and 1 TK. Do you think replacing the DD and 1 SS by 1 TK and EB would be better?
does font still break out of stealth?
Yes.
yuck
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
@molten cosmos You're going to still need 3x EB basically to compete with outlaw. fun fact, they didn't just "kill outlaw" for M+
I might break out my 400 crown this week for that ss/ttk
@unreal perch your statements arenโt very accurate you might want to do some research actually
you really wana push the narrative that outlaw is just dead?
its not
your statements about assassination are just incorrect
the trait choices vary alot depending on dungeon and affix and also depending on that your choice will dictate if you compete with outlaw or not
e.g. using 3ss in kings rest will make it pretty easy for you to compete with outlaw from a dps perspective
If you just want the trash padding is there any justifiable build with crimson tempest or is poison really just the only answer?
Poison always
CT is never worth taking in any scenario.
i think seli was using ct for some high freehold fortified and did very good with it but
Pb is just the safe passive talent
DON'T DPS I AM TRYING TO MAKE CT LOOK GOOD
Unless you really like CT 

That is unless it actually doesn't, and more PBOMB is just more DMG.
!essences
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
ct is lidderally only ever worth it unless you're going to have high downtime on packs for some reason
but i don't think that's something you plan for
WAIT ON MY WINGS, I NEED TO PAD.
I always go into dungeons like "You know I may just back off for a while"
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
o _O
packs could live infinitely and it'd still be a dead button if you could actually press fok and hit them all (1eb+)
it's probably pretty close at 1, enough to maybe be playable
well im not sure thats accurate
Fair enough figured Iโd ask. I want it to be good
As eb is tied to crit
But itโs not ๐ฆ
there will be a point where fok >>> ct
its just not as bad or useless as its always shouted at
i'd agree that it's not as bad as touted, especially if you're playing a low eb count build but it's just
Given itโs much easier to just do what youโre already doing and sometimes rnging into more damage
without doing the math im pretty sure if you have 20% crit
Ct can be really good
Compared to eb
it's like
even if you can get ct to be higher dpet in that global
you have to account for the fact that you're missing pb for like
bosses and any relevant finishers on packs
and then it'd have to beat fok by a decent margin on dpet which it just.. doesn't
Pb on boss doesnt really matter
o _O
Its just the trash but there its
wtf is that mentality
how does pb not matter on bosses
that's an interesting take
"doing bonus damage to bosses without extra investment doesn't matter"
but if you have to pidgeon hole a talent into being, super low crit low eb build that also has downtime occasionally to make the talent strictly 'better' that's probably why it's never taken
Benthic gear would like to have a word
Do note that if you are using less Finishers because of EB, CT still has less value than PBOMB.
maybe it has its place though, i don't know
its def niche
mastery bigpumper build soon
just overall its not as big of a difference as you saw when top rogues were using it
CT just isn't worth the global most of the time
If you ever end up stacking Mastery hitting ENV still wins, as if you ever have enough targets to maybe make CT worth it, EB is still beating it.
wheres the math
lol
Done after EB was spoiled, dunno where it is now.
The logic also doesn't make sense in regards to stats, target count, and average time spent attacking those targets.
But if you wanna try and make it work, do go ahead and try.
Iโm not and I donโt need to it just seems for me that often this discord just goes full theoretical mode even though in actual keys people are doing different with success
There's not 1 solution to completing a key, especially with regards to DPS.
gz
A lot of options will result in success, none of them being wrong, but there's almost always one that is the "best" choice.
@arctic walrus Gz!
grats
If I get zaqul helm i'll be so happy
uhhuh
wait did you say.. people go theoretical in this discord, so instead you have to theory craft how ct may be better?
I'm confused
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
hey can i get those
People tend to bring a lot of theory into the discord that has been shot down over and over again because it doesn't math out well.
except im not talking about theory ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
THE PROBLEM is that most people wanna support their claims with Raidbots but Raidbots doesn't work for this.
you literally were going "well if you have x and y while doing z CT could be good"
that's theory
I do believe he was saying that someone was using CT at one point in time.
Without knowing why.
I mean you cant argue against what is mathematically correct
Wasnโt CT a thing at the start of BfA?
just ct has and had its usages
Yeah but people used it wrong, PBOMB was the better choice 90% of the time back then.
Iโve been playing ct for a long time and overall the dps didnt differ hugely to pbomb
CT is also almost worthless on boss fights
I imagine boss damage would have suffered considerably
And just recently seli was running ct in very high freehold with giga dps as well
Tailored to a specific group Comp and strategy
I mean he did say "PB doesn't matter on bosses"
You can't always look at the very best and assume that what they do should be replicated, and that goes for more things than just wow
yeah iโm not even arguing pb is bad
@marble hemlock Oi boyo, any reason to run CT over PBOMB in M+?
Just that it has its uses
Which aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare?
@unreal perch idk what youโre trying to argue pb boss dmg over the course of a m+ dungeon is very minor and not really relevant for overall output
not really no
quick question. which class would you guys rpefer to go to Del realm on Zaq. sin or MM ?
@civic palm spread cleave eg
havent tried ct much recently, but its still the same issue of wasting CP on somethign that ultimately could just be replaced by another fok
or envenom for prio
Right.
I think Ausgelebt saw you running CT and thought it was in
Alright, off to do something else, thanks babe @marble hemlock โค
like i said earlier... ct is just a waste of a global, when you don't waste one with either pb or HB
i played it with triple scent, yeah
since CT has good AP scaling
i just dont have the azerite right now to try and test different combinations of azerite, gotta play with what we're given from raid, and for most people thatll just be ttk+ss
since the eb pieces from raid all suck ass
Yarrr
True
what do i need to do right to Shadowstep and Sap a Mob with Stealth Detect without getting caught?
distract
Distract him
distract them
i wouldn't shadowstep tbh, it might just be safer to sap from range
when they are turned away
if you distract, theres no reason to shadowstep
distract them so they're facing away from where you're shadowstepping from, then spam your sap while you shadowstep
ok ty
@marble hemlock didnt you play CT in FH on teeming week?
think that was when i tried 3scent
Oh ok
2ss/2ttk/2eb or 3ss/2ttk/1eb?
Does garrote on hit dmg? I use mutilate to generate combo points, but if i have subterfuge + ss, is it more worth to use like 2 times garrote out of stealth instead of garrote mutilate? Sry, im pretty new to assa.
Garrote has no on-hit damage.
yes with ss you want to use more than 1 garrote from stealth
Ideally 3 on 3 targets or 2 on 1
Okay, and why not 3 on one? I guess because i cap on cp, right?
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Thanks for the info.
You want to garrote rupture garrote
on 1 target
so you get garrote tick off, get rupture running and regarrote to max duration inside subter window
Is one TTK better than a 3rd Double Dose? For me it sims higher but not sure how much to trust it when I see others running one TTK
Is it like a passive ability that you can extend dots. e.g. garrote to 23 instead of 18sec or is it just how it works? Noticed it when i rolled buffs on outlaw but never thought of why, because it doesnt really matter there.
think they run it due to higher ilvl piece
Correction: 3rd double dose sims higher
@teal locust its just how pandemic works
Thanks
U can refresh a dot before it runs out and 30% of the duration get added to new dot
Garrote rupt Garrote is the way to go since s1 during boss encounter in m_ with shrouded
but without exg it feels wrong
So if you refresh garrote with 5.4 sec remaining new garrote will be 23s
like I have to refresh rupture during BoTE windows
so I tried a bit of a classic G G R opener
feels better
not sure it even matter in term of dps
if I play with 4 loyal to the end buddies in raid and one of them dies, do I get full value of loyal after his death or is it down to 3?
its down
But u get the on death buff for some time
@lime geyser im running 2 ttk as well not because its better but because its the only 445 pieces I have your sim will be correct
its easier to get good helm and chest from raid than from gambling so ppl use their best piece
For m+ do i take as many SS traits as I can? What's the 2nd best?
you want a mix of ss/eb/ttk
2/2/2 is a good overall build and then you can play around with that depending on the dungeon and/or affixes
I had no idea ttk was suddenly useful
is the azerite helm from the first boss in palace any good?
Tips on playing Coral properly?
it's not the worst thing in the world but it's not good for anything really either
what food do we use in raid? i feel like i see rogues using a different food buff every week
just use the one thats highest on your stat weights
theres not a general one?
no, since all the stat weights are pretty close at certain gear levels
its barely a difference
at worst youre going to be losing like 30 dps
I usually just click what I have in bags tbh, maybe prefer crit just for rng purposes
hey guys with the MA opener thats Gar> Mut > Rup> Vend> Vanish >TB> Envem . wouldnt it be better to TB before vanish so you can get 2 MA envenoms off?
Either way is fine, but tbing before vanish is seen as a high risk high reward scenario
both are fine, but if you dont get 4 cps from that muti you arent going to envenom anyways, but another mut
also how many targets does everyone rupture in raids
which fight exactly do you mean @fresh notch
Just killed M sivarra and only had 350k dmg with a 435 inkpod
I had good uptime on the boss
it depends on your apm and crit
350k no crit probably?
I did over 1 mil with inkpod @ crit and 99% uptime
Yea, it didn't crit, I got the trinket last week and it seems like its dmg is pretty low
its decent and very good for progress and in combo with ashvane
My razor coral did 430k dmg alone





get it away from me
