it seems that we do, barely, if everyone saves litterally everything for first shield break
hero and pot with CDs after second shield break and its pretty easy with the right group
second shield break is ez
problem is first break and consistnetly letting her on 55-58%
ottherwise it's no bueno
Hey anyone mind looking over our rogues log for M ashvane and see whats going wrong?
Using 2 phase strat for referrence
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gTm31JCHwPqyGR9z#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=5&view=timeline
you have a 99% parser in the same raid lol, why aren't they talking
Do you guys use dungeon slice for m+ summing or is there a better way to sim?
I'm honestly not finding anything particularly egregious in his ability usage
his opener is good
he got briny bubbled 3 times though
I'll let someone else go through the entire timeline to find mistakes but nothing screams bad to me
he got bubbled 3 times and cutter 7 times
poor guy
nvm he got knocked up 7 times
lol
should i use the coral trinket on cd or dont use it?
i dont see any rotational mistakes though
!coral
The way to use coral in M+ is using it on your priority target,
and then whenever that target dies, reapply it to your next target.
Whenever your target dies it gives you the crit it would give from using it,
so consuming the stacks for crit mid pack is generally suboptimal.
oh that's the wrong one
Just bad rng with abilities im guessing?
check the pins
Aight thanks for the help Vel!
looks like use it with vendetta
yes
@shy dust just by going through ability log, he had 3 moments where he had 0 instances of any damage for 10 seconds
that's 30 seconds of doing nothing, because I'm assuming it was either bubbles or a knock up
ye that happens
@shy dust so his problem was just getting bubbled 3 times actually
However, he is choosing not to cloak off the debuff
I'm assuming he saved it for a big bubble burst? But he can survive any damage with feint + pot, and should be saving cloak for bubbles
Mannnnn the third shield came up like 4 times with nearly nothing on the boss including one pull I actually was at 51k
Wouldn’t have been enormous but would have still been a decent rank zzz
Yeah I saw on the replay he did get bubbled 3 times
I hate this game
Ill just tell him to save cloak more for the bubble
@dark crag
@arctic walrus when do you font/coral on ashvane
I tried several different timings but results were inconclusive
Cuz random cutters/weird bubble placements
We do 2 phase strat
Can’t seem to figure if I font so I can coral bottom 10 or bottom 5s of vendetta
I feel like it depends on how fast you push shield phases
On the kill pull tonight I never hit coral on first shield break which was some monkaS
I just font'd during first break, coral during tb after 1st vend
And then everything together later
I did coral/inkpod last week lol oops
you only coraled on your last vendetta?
I didn’t hit the button
I need to change the keybind
It’s on alt f, my Tb is f and my vanish is shift f it’s a hecking mess
well I attempt to follow the sequence in tc updates
or at least how I think it's meant to be
I did it right in the pulls prior to the kill pull
sec let me find
Or at least I think I did it right
Like the tc says up to 10s before vendetta you can font
But on different fights it feels wrong at different times kinda
vendetta at 71
And then you coral on tb
Alright yeh I see it that way your rupture and garrote ride through most of vendetta
I don't know if this is correct so yeah
Kinda like on an opener
That's right.
dope
👌

Kick for posterity.
kick for stupid mecha ring that I don't have anymore
lol
I need neck 68 to get 53k without any upgrades 
at least you've got a goal
hey how bad are gold-tassled epaulets, the shoulders, for ST dps... prolly dd/tradewind+shrouded... how bad is tradewinds?
depends on alternative
I mean your alternative shoulders
oh
gorak tuls 420
it gained like 400dps on sim
but just wondering how bad tradewinds is, it seems pretty decent
it is just below DITB lol
its better than gorak 420 but worse than gorak 435 if you've got 450 epaulets
ye, just a weakass piece, i also have venture co's chestpiece, i'm working on the subpar sin rogue
epaulets are pretty good m+ tho
.<
i don't run sin in M+, i run outlaw
the game is pushing me towards running sin, last week i got pistoleer's shoulders
in m+ anyway
if it sims best then do it, you can just bank on the fact that there's better you 'can' get
does anyone know if theres a way to change ur spec on raidbots
In your simc string there's a line towards a top
oh okay! thanks
which dungeons would be the best to spam for socketed rings? Was thinking siege cuz it has 2 with good stats
If u want less cancer, wcm has crit vers and haste vers, ur has haste mast and fh has crit haste
sots has high crit + mastery ^^
Does vendetta increase the dmg of cyclotronic?
No
so opner should be something like, garrote > rupture > cyclonic > vanish > garrote > vd > rotation
It depends
On SS or NP?
What if your stacking NP?
With MA Muti > Rap > Muti
You shouldn't open like that ever
Cyclo is when you're outside of all cds, dont need to refresh and have low energy
That's when you cyclo
Stacking NP doesn't matter
You still get energy just from one
Yes
It does
It does
Doesn't affect how you play though
roger that
Guys Could you help me with performing as Assassination. I probably can play sin but i want to perform as best as i can. My guild is struggling at Orgozoa and I want to do my best as sin. There are some of my logs https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/AznLrHhdQPDbXjRW https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XQhBqCf1yDAWM7J3https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Fqhn6Jz2atyZdXKv
Maybe you will find something that i can't that will help me improve
I can post my sim too but 45k is pretty sad for me especially when you post something around 50k
@ me now and I'll come back and take a look at it this afternoon when I come home
@rigid mango
im onto it

@ember pulsar i mean you are aware that sims will never get close to real performance
unless you have 100% uptime behind the boss, not getting hit by mechanics
yeah and imo the only thing that keeps you from that juicy orange logs are killtimes
But Sivara is probably around 50% and Radiance
which you dont have a major influence in
i mean you parsed 96 on sivara
which is pretty darn good
Thanks? 😄
point being: you play your rogue pretty solid
on that perf level its most of the times the kill time and crit RNG
Yeah i feel that rng
in terms to the 50k sims
I feel like my every bleed crits but any muti
I am trying
and replace heroic shroud of upmooring whispers with the mythic one
but all in all a good geared character
I am poor decision maker and i rolled around 15 shoulders 430
I guess 10 were shoulders from Tol Dagor
the orgo shoulders on mythic are decent also
Well those with tradewinds 445 are around 300 dps better than Gorak 430 in sims
I mean worse
meh .... got goraks today, and dont know if i should use them for raid or for m+. hate it to reforge
430 tho 
i know
I have never got them since uldir
I am struggling with one more problem and i don't want to depend everything on sim
I have been using Dead-eye 440 and font 440
Today i got galecaller 440 with socket
And i don't know what i should use
Sim say galecaller + font
gaycaller is very limiting your movement
if you cant stand in it 100% i would not use it
sims are good and all but you gotta turn on the old brainmachine. sim traps are everywhere 
If i got one

I am probably first in queue for it
Our paladin is monster so he got first coral
and only because other player already had it on 430 
i mean there is really nothing you can do wrong as ret. you only can overcap the palapoints
not to say that he is bad or something just a statement that imo ret is a very ez class
perfect for us sin player ngl
Oh I forgot to say. Thanks for help
you're welcome
Hi everyone, was wondering how u guys use ur titan residum ? pray the god and roll for random 445 or buy the one you need ?
first 445 azerite lottery. Should I go for head/chest/shoulder?
muhplus
EB + SS is pretty good but eb is stronger with larger packs
How am i simming this ? if more than 3 shoulder is good i go roll ?
head to raidbots.com
droptimizer and sim all azerite caches
it recommends the cache tha may bring you the biggest upgrade
the best are shoulder, but should i roll 445 random or wait for the one i need ?
roll
Well if you feel lucky
You have like 1/3 for good shoulders
i mean 5/6 shoulder are pretty good for ST or MM+
Ye 2 are BIS, 3 are pretty decent, 1 sucks
i need both st or mm+ so i hope im not gonna get the only one that suck 😄
yup thats my goal 😄
a wise man once said man up an roll for the good shit
Just try to roll maybe it's your day
from 2 season of M+
I rolled for many characters
majority got bis within 3 rolls
some got bis from 1st or 2nd
5/6 are good, i hope rng jesus is not gonna let me down
5/6 are good 2/6 are probably great
yup
If you get the worst one it's still good for mythic Orgozoa 😄
Shoulders of the Sanguine Monstrosity are the shit ones?
ye already have it 430
Yeah
yes
Thought so, got them twice in a row
😄
Insta scrap😂
@shut pasture for outlaw and sin, yah
is TTK underrated on herodamage for m+ ?
Yep
so the priority is SS > EB/TTK ?
You need 1 ss eb to function in m+
After that, any mix
2/2/2 is pretty good for every scenario
alright, NP is also good or far behind from these 3 ?
Nah, a bit behind
Has niche uses in v high tyr keys
But wouldn't even recommend there
ok thanks 🙂
is it worth vision with x3 np and 0 haste items for zaqul any tried that build?
hm.... the opener with bote was "m r m g bote vend tb van env" or am i wrong ?
to have the whole tb window profit from bote
cause simc sample sequence is bote after vendetta and tb
It's tb>bote iirc
hm... so use bote after tb ?
also sim uses bote at 0:05 and as second use at 2:41, ig uees to line it up
With MA it might be wack
cant quick sim atm :/ at work
Should be using bote with each vend
BotE should be used before vanish, if you have MA.
Literally last GCD before Vanish.
Whats the best sim site? Taking notes
on lady ashvane do I save my vendetta for breaking the 1st shield
You do what your raid lead tells you
You sim on raidbots
I was answering a question della wtf
Answer my question then
Which was ?
lol della
@fast nacelle im actually the worst like you
gambled cepha week ago into goraktuls now

yee we're still progressing so still counts 😄
:D
maybe today tho 👀
pog
13% last week, more people gonna get 65 now
but yea not issue of neck levels, just misplays obv
meanwhile me grinding vanilla dungeons

@viscid lichen tell your raid leader that you want to use your CDs on pull on first shield, as it will line up with 2nd shield and then again with 2nd burst phase.
It depends on your comp
Its not about topping the meters its about killing the boss
I found out that my raid struggled with breaking 2nd shield optimally, so me having vendetta for the start of 2nd shield actually helped my raid a fuckton.
Ashvane is not a "one fight fits all" kind of fight. It largely depends on what you're planning to do as a whole
yo, so with coral
should i use it in my opener just after vendetta and then remove it when the 2nd vendetta comes around?
i have read the pin just not sure what it means^^^
do you use azshara trinket aswell
or coral is your only on use
then yea use it insantly on pull
and then 'gather' stacks around your 2nd vendetta
so then when 2nd vendetta comes around i go
ye
coral is not on the gcd, so you can trigger it on pull with your first cast
or am i wrong ?
wdym?
Just macro it with Vendetta really
Coral is not on the gcd, correct
i meant for the initial cast of coral you can cast it immediatly on pull with your first skill, so you apply it 4-5 secs earlier, but i guess that doesnt really matter

o and also, assuming the fight takes longer than 3mins 30 or something, what would coral usage look like then
1st cast on opener, 2nd cast to pull on 2nd vendetta, then instantly cast again once it comes off cd and save for 3rd vendetta?
If you get a 3rd vendetta yes, else i use it before the fight ends and cover tb with it
finally

Am I crazy or something? I really don't get why my versa sims so high https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kwRY4RcwXoNPcroPEr8e87
Its 0.03 over mastery
Zero point zero three
I sim 50k and all stats are really close to each other
It's because you have 2 trinkets that give crit and also use CLF.
CLF changes value of Crit, and the 2 trinkets decrease it even further.
Clf favors haste but its not really decreasing crit
It favors haste and versa.
why would clf decrease the value of crit
It's not that it's decreasing crit, it's that the value of both haste and versa goes up, while crit stays the same, so overall still makes it have a difference.
I edited to say it changes.
Basically, let's say crit, haste and versa are all valued at 1 without CLF.
When I equip CLF, the value of crit stays 1, but haste goes to 1.05 and versa like 1.01
So even though crit stays the same, haste is better than it was before.
haste went down for me with clf
??
well you get haste from clf
crazy
idk
definitely a sim yourself here
cus haste is my 2nd worst stat and i only have 23%
Clf lucid iris, crit > mastery = haste > versa for me
correction, haste is my worst stat
ah yes
why u running pp
speculation here
and u also only have 17%
definitely the reason haste is so high for you
stat weights is a fickle mistress that's why i never bother even looking
and i've not put vers gems in my top gear sim once this tier
heheheh
I was swapping between cleave add and st, since I was simming for Azshara.
Where you have an add up like most of the fight.
In last phase.
think the move on azshara is bote major lucid and conflict minor
That is correct.
Best results I had with BotE since you have to actually not cast the elemental from CLF until burn phase.
So you lose like 1 minute on it.
BotE is a lot more flexible for Azshara.
mhm
I think best way to sim azshara is to sim Cleave add, to be honest. Which returns me Crit and Mastery being way ahead of anything else.
On Orgozoa mythic, would it be a single target increase to rupture the adds? My job is just to pump the boss.
Yes, you pump adds.
You need to have 5 bleeds rolling, ideally.
2 on boss, and one rupture on each.
Or even 2 on boss, 1 rupture and garrote on one, and a rupture on another.
That way you won't have to actually pump all 3 adds.
^
I made a build which served me well for prog
Before i got 445 divers anyways 
3x TTK 3xEB
You played it applying at least rupture on everything, garrote on boss and maybe 1 add
I think Orgozoa is a fight where scent of blood is actually insanely good.
Then after that fok > evis
It literally fits the fight perfectly.
Just checked logs, and indeed Scent of Blood performs best there.
Every rogue has it.
3xEB is imo irrepleceable
Interesting

Well i did just run outlaw for the kill though

I didn't go full pas because we had more than enough aoe damage, just needed boss damage 
3 eb is quite stupid unless you want a parse
good evening boys, new to rogue/sin, what traits should I aim for this week for M+s?
really? sick
yes u can
but any combination auf those traits is fine, if you got at least 1 ss and 1 eb
as we got bolstering, some dungeons favor 3 ttk more maybe
guys anyone can explain hot to use coral trinket ? i have both coral and font of power..
font at pull

#tc-updates aswell
You use it with vendetta
mm but at pull
if i use font i have 20 sec cd on coral
so i delay vendetta for the coral cd ?
nah just do everything else normally and press coral as soon as you can
idk what so hard to understand
Coral is literally your first thing you cast after Muti.
Since it's off the GCD.
If you have build that opens with Garrote, you do Garrote => Coral, in same GCD.

If you have build that opens with Muti, you do Muti => Coral
I wanted to talk about coral 😄
But wrote font by mistake.
still 
What ?
Coral is off the GCD, you`re supposed to use it literally after your first GCD into the pull.
So that it starts stacking as fast as possible.
You can't do that if you use font Adrian
Oh, I thought he wanted to know about coral usage, didn't read that it was font + coral.
first night using font, not getting hit while channeling is hard

you literally wait the first 2 spawns
and as the third starts u run into safe position
start channeling

great idea 
i cloak on the jump down because i don't want to play frogger waiting for flying zoatroid pats to move out of the way 🤷
Radiance was hairy
Wasting cloak for the jump 
445 slitering loa head and 450 coral in one day, today was a good day even if I got shit from weekly box
yup
ceph ~ Spymaster > rest
when simming for dungeons ive been told to do patchwerk 6 targets and then 40 sec tyrannical and 1 min fortified or was the other way around? i forgot to write it down the first time
Neither are good
You can do a sim, but you have to feelycraft/ask/know the rest
There's a lot of wrong shit when simming m+ for sin.
i use 2/2/2 and do better than ever, but its nice to sim gloves and boots and stuff too. so i cant really trust statweights either? just go for lots of crit?
Crit + mastery if ttk/vers if not
Both mastery and vers are very close/good
You can't go wrong with it aslong as it has crit + either
Hi guys, i hope you are all doing well. I'm here for a friend that play Assassination and he struggle to get the most out of it. May i ask you to check his logs pls ? I don't know shit about the class so that why i can't really help him ^^
and here is it's sim
Thank you very much in advance 🙂
Horrible vanish use, don't know how to use coral, wrong pot
Okay thank you guys, which pot should he runs ?
Fury
I'm feral player but do you Rogue use the coral at nearly 15 too ?
Used font only prepull and not during the fight
No
Sin doesn't just use it
Sin aligns it to vendetta
Apply 1st, consume on 2nd and reapply after, consume reapply repeat for each vendetta
Zine you talking about the coral stack usage ?
you mean that he should aligns it with his cd or smth ?
On the mythic kill, he has very long downtime for God knows what
Yes "align it to vendetta"
ok
He holds his vendetta for over a minute, only to not even pair it with 2nd clf
Alright so it seems that his cd usage aren't good
He is fonting at exactly 4 seconds on the pull timer, so he's not getting a prepot in
Most of the shit he's fucking up on
Yeah our sp did a prepull if i remember on this one xd
Yeah but he is not rly comfortable with english
that's why i'm here trying to understand his class xd
It's not just a one pill thing, he had it on both kills
Okay
Regarding font usage i think he doesn't really how to reapply it during the fight
do you guys got a specific window for that ?
or just use on cd (dk if it's dps loss)
He has both font and coral, right?
He does
Yeah
you rock
gonna send him that first of al
all *
Okay so main issue cd usage, wrong pot
and vanish usage
wasted combo point too.......
Assa rogue seems interesting gameplay wise i might reroll for it once i hit 65 with my cat :p
Thank you very much for your time guys i'll send him all that, if anyone see something else i would be glad to read that. Peace ✌
I might be wrong here, but looking at the timeline it looks like he only finishes at 5 combo points as well
What do you mean Annsie ? (again i don't know shit xd)
you generally use a finisher at 4+ cp
Mutilate generates a minimum of two combo points. So when you get four combo points you get more damage by casting a finisher to dump your combo points and then your next mutilate will give you the two points. If You cast another mutilate with four points you'll have five and have wasted one
Ok i got it
^
Yeah it's a huge loss if he does that every time
Atleast 1 up to 3
Could anyone help me out? I am currently able to buy a piece of azerite gear from the currency, but im not sure what the best option is. Ive simmed on raid bots and it says getting a new chest piece will be the biggest dps gain, but my helm is 405 ilvl compared to my 420 ilvl chest.
Should I got for a new chest or helm? thanks for the help
Do what raidbots tells you to do. Also worth noting that the helm of zaqul is pretty strong so it isn’t hard to get a 435 in that slot
If you at least do heroic each week
I see, thanks for the input. Did I interpret the data correctly also? From the screenshots?
Yep. The big number is if you roll the best piece. The expected dps gain is raid bots averaging all possible outcomes
I would roll for shoulders if you don't have gorak'tul, you can get pretty much bis helm and chest from raid
Be considerate as the pieces sim with you having SS/subt, when the best build atm is MA
If you don't have gorak go for that, as yes it's the only vendor item you need
Helm and chest from raid
Thanks for the advice everyone, here my current gear if that helps
saving 200k titan res and buy gorak shoulders outright or gamble? 
the world as we know it will end before you get 200k
Do you guys pool energy when deadly navigation is nearing 5 stacks?
for envenom chains
Hi there folks
I kinda struggling with some stuff: my ilv is 430
i have a shitty ring and shitty daggers
My burst is up to 100k
do mechagon
but gets down to 40 and then keeps going down and down
the ring set is really good
til 30 or so
I think i do the rotation well, but, i dont certainly know when to save energy
do you have logs or anything? @loud reef
Is stacking 3x DD and 3x NP not ideal? I got new random titan res shoulders last night and they both had DD & NP. My sim tells me that my equipped is best, but I was wondering anyone's thoughts on tripling the traits. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2JD9s7ZxZTsRAPQ6hXBpiV
hold up
this is my guild trying myth without even completing hero
But thats more representative, cause in the past days i increased my dps a lot
right know ive been like an hour at the dummie changing essences and im going for lucid dreams as major 100% cause i dont have the Guardian Essence at lv 3
And as secondary essence im just trying between guardian or lazor
Also, i think i lose such an amount of time on my opening (stealth, garrote, coral, muti, rupture, essence,vendetta,toxic,vanish and then spam muti at 4o5cp and envenom)
@tough dome you can check the dmg increase of traits on herodamage or a similar website, for example a bbi is very strong to have, also overwhelming power as a third ring trait is very powerful as well, and there are simply no chests with DD, NP and OP
@loud reef why do you open up with garotte when you don't have any SS traits to begin with?
Sorry, what does SS stand for?
shrouded suffocation
you shouldn't for raids
Okay cool, i still have some work to do in the azerite gear dept. trying to get everything up to 430 so nothing is concrete. Thanks!
I shouldnt go SS for raids?
yea, well right now i have no SS
I got the blackwater chest, it's better than what I had and my sim is higher DPS, what chest should I be gambling for?
also thats kind of what sin rogue is about, you have your burst window and then you'll slowly sink down and then you burst again
@verbal knot the ones from AD and Siege
@loud reef https://wowanalyzer.com/ is rather good aswell to try and point out any big fails you're doing
Okay @bright smelt ima give it a look
Thanks man
@verbal knot why do you want to gamble for a chest if you already got one?
@crystal vault gz!
I mainly raid so I'd like to lose the SS trait for DD
blackwater has loyal to the end
I mean, what?
better to sim yourself for best results
and get the simulation craft addon for game
Yay, i already got it
I simmed myself
And im on my "best gear"
im still not sure about my dps going down to 28k
link the report?
in a static boss
the sim you did
k
are you Horde by any chance mate?
May i invite u to a group and see with your own eyes at orgrimmar whats going on
at the Dummies
you'd be better linking a log
im on it
Yay, ill have that in a couple hours
and not just 1min snippets
poke in channel with logs and it'll be way easier to see
looking at your sivara kill from the 24th you're playing subterfuge with no shrouded, your opener was garrote vendetta lucid mutilate, you didn't prepot you only potted 10 seconds into the fight using the wrong pot, you're randomly pressing your coral for no reason, you average close to 30 seconds between tbs
and about rupture: if i have 4 combo points, is it worth to do another mutilate to get it to 5 or its also worth with 4
Nope.
@cobalt pelican yay but that log was before doing my recents changes on my character i kinda sucked there
Tonight ill have a better report on that
you'll need a newer log then
anyone mind looking through my logs for me? I see other rogues opening bigger before our dps evens out during the boss which makes me think i'm opening wrong but doing the rest okay
Yay, tonight ill have
Thanks to everybody, for real
U guys are an amazing and very supportive community
opener burst really just depends on what you're playing
if you're playing dd and ddcrit everything you'll spike really high
i mean low 80's and a 70 probably mean i'm not executing to the best of my ability anyway
so if anyone has time I'd love some help ❤
You have a dice
Non socketed rings
your opener on sivara looks fine
like
there's more than the gcd between your globals
but that's the only thing noticably wrong
micro-pooling
Yeah but it's also not WRONG.
Doesn't matter.
was the logic behind it
Just mut mut rup
Rupture doesn't scale off CP anymore.
hmm interesting
does the damage from SS stack? Is that why the guide says double garrotes on openers?
no with SS you double it to get max duration
Why does he use Fan of Knives?
For the adds, ah Ok
should i not be putting low ruptures on baby adds for energy gen?
If you're spamming that many you'll be going energy overcap
- what are u doing with that energy
sniping more energy
and using 0 EB foks
that's just no damage
That's your energy whilst you're doing that
Especially sinc eyou had tb up, you could be using that energy to pump envenoms
Also, yeah, dice really do suck.
Not having a font at this point is a lot of damage lost.
And yeah, vanilla 430 rings are very meh too
I cba going through log, but I assume you have enough loyals.
yeah i made sure lol
@ember pulsar http://prntscr.com/oys02f dunno about that part, you lost out on a couple of seconds on your CLF thanks to that
You also lack 2 benthic pieces 👀
I can't sim myself right now as I am at work, but Azerite pieces are pretty standard. Is 1 SS better or worse than 1 Loyal with 0 others in raid?

@ember pulsar You didn't use step a single time on behemoth 👀
Doubt there will be many scenarios where you’re the only one in raid with loyal.
Idk why you keep envenoming there in the opener
You see we have TOO MANY melee dpses so only 4 are allocated to puffer (better that than killing others) and that's not me. Maybe stepping puffer would help and I am stepping from 3rd puffer to behemoth and from 5th to behemoth only if we need to kill that fish
Aslong as you use step at all
You can use it to get there, or to get back
there's just damage lost not stepping there
Just be careful you don't step to behemoth when he's about to shock lol I've made that mistake once
yeah feint is awesome on that fight and Radiance
Bois is it possible that inkpod (orgozoa trinket) is simming incorrectly? I've seen many rogues playing with but it sims quite pporly for me :/
You won't get killed when using feint on every shock
Maybe you will lose some energy but atleast you won't die and you don't have to move away or pray
It might be Coral + Inkpod. I know some people save Coral until 31% then blow it for that 100% crit for Inkpod
@inner pier I'm interested to see too actually, its a pretty minor sim upgrade to my 400 dice with socket which doesn't seem right
i mean compared to my azshara's 430 and coral 430 it;s 1% downgrade in theory
mythic inkpod
Well font and coral are our best performing trinkets so
I'm running inkpod / coral b/c i still haven't gotten a font to drop yet. but also even if i did have a font, there are some fights where it just doesn't line up well with dps windows
I usually hold it for 31% yeah
I'm not sure if that's 'correct', but that's what I've been doing
hi, I've been mantaining 41k on ashvane but suddenly since yesterday I just can't even reach 37k. Did we receive any kind of stealth nerf or something?
No we haven’t
Did you change strat or move your kill timing around?
anything😭
is everything the same, maybe some people had se more heart level or who knows but thank you anyways
Other people having more heart level wouldn’t affect you
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/WctfuzChFkRCLpUTE3zZx is there any way to have droptimizer evaluate the drops as 450's? my 450 behemoth chest is being compared against 445 chests
click the button that says unlock all azerite traits
thanks!
wow even at 450 ceph is a downgrade to behemoth chest for me
kinda nuts
-0.2%
oh no im stupid the sim takes into account i'm 64 still
Behemoth is bis so
and won't be buying for a while
1 sec let me unfuck it
changed neck level = 65 and running all traits
life will be so easy on tuesday when i actually ding it haha
i mostly want ceph to be better so i can use behemoth on outlaw set
Just go on a 3 week holiday so reforge cost goes to 1g again
i keep it sub-100g weekly
i reforge my shit on weekends to pvp for cap to get AP/C&S
and only then
Big thanks for my friend guy he just increased his dps by 6k on sivara Mythic 🙂
guys *

Wait how is behemoth BiS If you don’t know how many people are running loyal
Check 😛
!essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
If people aren’t using loyal they’re griefing themself tbh
And the raid
It’s a double grief
Is there a single assassin rogue in Mythic who's used exsanguinate on any boss?
for EP
Hopefully not.
^
it just fell off really hard this expansion, even worse than legion
GJ
@shy axle gz, coined mine today aswell, 450 tiddyforge
there will be, somewhere
exsang just doesn't seem to scale that well, even when blizz had mastery effect bleeds
That's because mastery doesn't really influence bleeds THAT MUCH.
exsanguinate scales fine as an ability by itself
Comically I am pretty sure Haste scaling has made EX worse.
it's just too reliant on the overall setup of gear that you have
plus it probably has negative synergy with stuff like lucid minor
and even with 2xSS, exsang actually simmed lower than TB back in BDA
coral usage was at the star and conv for every vendetta wasn`t it? Did not really follow it due to not having it and did read many different versions so far
start
yup, that's how you should use it
although if you have inkpod too, it's worth using coral just as the boss is about to reach 30%
cause if inkpod crits, it's a lot of damage
even when there is no vendetta usage in sight?
where do you place coral in your opener tough? With Vendetta too or as soon as possible?
as soon as possible, but it's not a big difference
It doesnt share a gcd so personally I just use it right as soon as I break stealth
hello fellow rogues, can someone please explain what is the right choice of traits assa rogue supposed to use in m15+ keys ? and is there any difference between tyrannical or fortified ?
A healthy mix of EB, SS, and TTK is standard
i checked rio and rogues using w/e they want
A mix of ss/ttk/eb
its like 2/2/2 ?
Yup
2/2/2 is a decent set up
for both tyrannical and fortified
^
There's no easy 1 build best for everything
But 2/2/2 is probably fine if you're looking for an easy answer
2/2/2 always works, you swap 1 for 1 else dependant on dungeon/comp/week.
But 2/2/2 will be more than fine for every dungeon
Hi guys which Potion did u use inside raid?
Fury
thanks
and for example for tyrannical weeks 3x TTK or 3xSS is better than 2/2/2 or its w/e
moreso the dungeons
yeah
plus how your tank pulls, or if you're a Nelf can affect the value of SS
in KR you dont need 3x EB cus the pulls are small but heavy hitting/shitton of hp
as an example
SS shines in KR big time
Sorry if this is stated somewhere, but where do i fit in BoE with SS in the opener?
BotE*
thanks guys
I’ve just been doing g, r, g, vend, tb, bote, env. Not sure if better to use before or after tb, but it’s probably a tiny difference regardless
cool 🙂
whats a good m+ build for this week guys? considering tyrannical
currently running this
you could maybe drop an eb for another ttk, but it's not gonna be much different
^ listen to him
Trash is still a majority of dungeon, you still pull quite big
Tips on Ashvane CD's? My Font of Power-trinket and Vendetta just come off cd or 5 sec ish into Hero.. Should I still use it or only vendetta there, or wait for both?
2 eb is still good outside of KR/ToS I'd say
okay thanks for the tips 🙂
depends on how your group handles cds. are you trying to 2 phase
Not atm, we've done that as well, but played Outlaw then.. And just gotten the FoP-trinket
So 3-phasing, yes
Why wouldn't you use them together btw?
Just wondered if channeling + vendetta during Hero was a waste or if it was better to hold them until after.. I'm asking 🙂
How to open on Ashvane as MA talented rogue?
New way without cd's or old way with cd's
Can anyone give any tip?
@winter gale At least I'm opening with mut-rup-mut-gar-vendetta-tb-vanish-env.. Hold my CLF.. That's how we do it atm tho, not sure what your guild do
We are saving cds
2- or 3min ?
I am keeping all
We only hold 3 min, so I pop CLF after 1st shield
Guardian and vendetta vanish
forcefully desyncing guardian from vendetta is a bad decision
either use them all on pull or hold them all
But how to start the fight was what I meant
the same way you start every fight
Explain to them you are an assa rogue and you need to start with cds because poisons, energy reg, bleeds, cut to the chase and so on
for a prog fight like ashvane you can advocate for yourself to cd on pull but you can be overruled
You don't lose a cast by delaying for first break
🤷
0 dps loss if u just play with head on body

makes sense ty
But do you take it out and put it in often in between? Or do you put it in and then wait for each vendetta?
wait for each
Ah ok
it's basically a 2 minute trinket that you don't get to use on pull, but it becomes extremely good the next 2 minutes
Isn’t that a waist on longer fights where you could get the crit buff a few times in between vends, or is it that the “ coral in” damage proc thing is overall better in between and then having super vend crit is good
the sims work out that saving the stacks for vendetta is better
@vestal wren still playing ?
So when vends coming up, and both trinks are off CD, I’m assuming you font and then vend etc and then pull coral out? Only get a few seconds of vend and coral
Just read it
Holding vend and vanish for 20 sec sometimes seems harsh haha
Like in terms of patience
it's likely that tb comes up in that window so
Right
and 4 seconds of it is the font channel itself
Which azerite piece is best to buy for 200k dust? Gorak Tul shoulders?
@light umbra yes, also still on subtlety 😛
Gorak Tul shoulders, chest from Behemoth and head from Za'qul, right?
I doubt my guild will kill Za'qul on mythic tho
That's the combo, yeah
Hey!
Slithering loa/430 zaq/first boss mythic/engi helm are all good too
thank you for help, I'll try to sim engi helm vs 1st boss helm now
How can I improve
Wow ty that's extremely helpful
Play the game, I mean
What did you expect?
You lack benthic
You don't have good peices
you don't seem to raid
You throw an armory link at us and just say "fix it" what do you want us to do for you
Do m+ and raid, get benthic, tadaa
Not more I can do to improve your gear apart from play the game for you
but what if he doesnt wanna play the game XD
Pay for carries

doing a tomb xmog run on horde if anyone wants to go lol
Not the place for it 😄
Sorry I ment for like traits and shit but can see this is a shit place to ask for help0
You get out what you put in
If you need help on knowing what traits to go for, you read guides, which are all over this place
ok sure dude
ah blame us when you don't look at pins lmao
Not my fault I cant carry idiots in m+
@strange python all your azerite sucks, if you want to know what's good check the guide, your trinkets suck and you lack sockets + benthic that are both easily farmable through m+/naz
There you go, hope it helped.
get pearls and roll for crit boots for starters
Not much else I can say to help you
Probably a reality check, but with your gear, you most likely are the dude getting carried
im 421 and simming 35k
Most of the information to improve is all around you 😄
benthic OP
Is it worth running both azshara and ashvane or should I go ashvane inkpod
Both.
Azshara sims higher than inkpod but feels so clunky
Font and coral are bis
You know how to use it correctly ye?
Once you get over the mild learning curve
The worst is when a pull gets scuffed and half the raid is waiting on trinket CD
is this usage the right way? - using font right after (or like 1-2 sec after) the tb window before vendetta (about 12-15 sec left on toxic blade) and then use vendetta with next toxic blade and follow with coral about 5 sec later? this way I am getting full vendetta during font and about 13-14 sec of coral in vendetta with font as well
The way that's in #tc-updates , yeah
I mean that's how I understand it from the tc-updates, its that right?
you'd have to link the entire sequence but if i had to guess
you hit the energy threshhold just before vanish came off cd
so it envenomed to not cap and then just fired off vanish
there's nothing tying vanish to having combo poinst before pressing it
Quick rogue question..
