yea i normally just use dice+spyglass for fort coral+spyglass for tyr
2/2/2 is most general purpose
I'm using coral for everything atm, mostly out of laziness and liking of the crit
for m+ I use 1 ss 3eb 2ttk
I wouldn't use more than 2 eb
but 3ss is also good
if even that
this week seems ok for 3x EB? Teeming+Fort?
I dunno ive used both and dont see a major difference i just see taht it does alot of damage
oh i still use Pocket-Sized Computation Device... when do i know i should replace that with any 430 trinket for +s?
I don't know if I have a chest with EB/SS, think I just have EB/TTK though which I guess is fine
3x EB, 2x SS, 1x TTK for now
You don't pull big enough to justify 3 eb, and not big enough to get full cp fok's into envenoms to justify ttk stacking high enough
3x EB is probably good but I think 2/2/2 just feels better overall for everything, and also lazy lol
I don't think 3 eb is really passable if you're pushing higher end keys
2ss 2eb 2 ttk?
unless it's this week that might be the exception
2/2/2 works everywhere, yeah
It isn't as punished as stacking any trait is
why is 3 eb not passable?
idk its really fun going full ape FoK spam
however, when you do, it blasts
Esp in this season where you don't really pull that big
3x SS is fun, yeah but no so much with chain pulls 🙂
No.
You've committed two more traits
That's a lot more punishing than only having 1
but, unless you giga pull you will have no issue restealthing, so thats less of an concern
Not up to you to get restealths though
typically tanks just pull fast for the sake of the timer
Someone pulls more, someone ninja pulls, something aggros something else
but you wont ran super high keys with randoms, so you would know beforehand
the beguiling adds will keep you in combat for awhile those are very annoying
Beguiling fucks with sin a bit, yeah
spam restealth and you cant because tank pulled another mob
so, wouldnt it be better to entirely drop ss then?
@pseudo hamlet that dosent really help me with what you just told me but ok?
A pro of having outlaws instead of sin is that reason
I wouoldnt that empowerment is good
Ofc you wouldn't
i mean you get very low benefit from it given you are so dependent on restealths
Empowerement, 3 CP garrotes
anyone know if theres like a haste cap for assassin?
i still use Pocket-Sized Computation Device... when do i know i should replace that with any 430 trinket for +s? (i dont have coral trink yet)
@rigid mango ty reason i was asking cause im 19% and i got 2 things with alot more haste thats a upgrade and still said 19%
so, if you get big beenfits from the initial one, stacking doesent sound bad to me
I have played with 1 ss and 3 ss with 2-3 eb and ttk and both have been successful for me
which is beter Ido not know
Yes, what are you getting at fuu
I can not tell
I'm saying that taking 2 more is a lot more punishing granted your tank/team fucks up
And I've been saying 3 SS rips
I really don't know what your point is
oh, my initial question i cant relate is why 2 eb is fine and 3 is not
why is 3 not
^
Whats the reason for 3 not being as good
You don't do pulls big enough to warrant 3 eb over other traits
Like SS, like bbi, like ttk
kings rest blob room
You don't pull that big anymore
tol dagor adds in the beginning if you pull those for percentage
Sure, but those are niche and few
you will increase your aoe, and therefore kill packs faster with eb
Freehold could work
and 2 to 3 is not such a big jump
stop baiting
@vestal wren its way too exaggerated in here as usually
i use 3 eb 3ss and garrote is by far top dmg even with chainpulls
Cool dude.
if, so why not go with 1 eb to get a more noticable diffrence
Doesn't mean you lost a lot
i dont bait, just want to know the reason first hand from experienced m+ players
If you want exactly that, go to seli's stream
linked right there and you know what it is
i think valid question is why not just 1 eb then and use one trait for something else
And ask the question why 3 eb isn't good.
its not, 3eb 3ss and other 3 eb combos are regularly used by many sin rogues, seli isnt the solution to everything even though its praised here all the time
the avg player doing 15 won't really feel a big difference between 2/2/2 or any other combination anyway
i dont know what traits seli runs, so i cant say
hes not very active in chat recently
whats a good mastery to sit at before your stat weighs say otherwise. im at 41% im even stacking mastery gems which i havent seen another rogue do lol
and especially if you take into consideration what keys he is doing compared to the keys ppl that ask are doing
oh, hes runing 3 ss, wired
is it in one of the dungeons you mentione where that setup is good?
Nah, I talked to him a couple of days ago and I understood what he thought about sin nowadays
435 chest 
TTK isn't as good as 3 ss because you don't pull big enough to get full CP from one fok all the time
i mean i think azerite is always a limiting factor too
EB isn't as good because you don't pull big enough to justify stacking it
how many mobs =big enough for you
He's literally talking about it atm

So if you guys are interested, tune in, watch the last 2 min or smth
can u relink the stream or clip it
clip would be better tho, i think i missed the talk
@strange python you want/need at least as much mobs that you get 4+cp from 1 fok
does he beat outlaw rogue always?
Like I said, watch the vod and go back to about 3 or so min ago
He's normally higher/on par with them
To get the highest value of TTK, you want to be going env > fok > env > fok > env
etc.
You can't consistantly do so anymore
how many bleeds you run for prio damage?
huh?
like if you start a bigger pack, how many bleeds do you apply before entering the fok-env loop
4 if you're above 11% haste, 5 if lower
To go energy positive
g g g rup > build > rup
and then decide from there.
thats 5 ^^
soo WW monk better aoe than SIn rogue?
well watching hist stream answered my question. my mastery is garbage. im at 41% and stacking 7 gems. ughhhh
Yeah, that's if you have less than 11% haste
what I do
41% isn'
isn't* bad mastery
He's jus stacking it very high for the sake of SS and the big envenoms
my stat weighs wont change from mastery being top. im so freaking confused. i look like a dool stacking gems of it lol
Stat weights from what, dslice sim?
looks like a patchwork sim
Yeah, I mean mastery isn't the highest for ST so
how big difference is benthic vs no benthic?
It's probably the worst stat overall
just curious?
about 3-4k dps
is nobody uses those sims anymore sorry i just came back after a hiatus
benthic is quite noticable diffrence
i dont have any benthic pieces rn
You really should do.
diffrence between the 2 wrists is not to big tho just 0.3% or so
rank 3 lucid dreams first or benthic?
You can do both?
^
One doesn't limit the other
if we go back to ST/raids, is having 20% haste or anything above that still wayy too much?
Doenst rank 3 lucid cost me 60 manapearls?
whats a good base % for raid haste
really? how lol
you cant do 100 Zine lol
I've done it
not on 1 chat
yeah maybe with emissaries and 1time quest rewards
Yeah well, there's enough rares to go around
alright
Each one has a chance to drop 3 max(?)
thanks
And there's a good 20 or so of them
what piece to go for first?
feet > wrists > hands > waist dps wise
so dungeon slice stat weight sims are also invalid?
is it a dps waste if i mutilate on 4 CP?
yes, a big one
kk i saw something interesting
you get more value of fok envenom loop
than fok rupture?
it comes down what you mean by value
if it comes to pure priority damage you gain the most value using Mutilate and keep ~5 bleeds running
if you say, nahhh the target dont need to die asap but faster you can do the fok-env with 5 bleeds
If you want reasonable priority damage you do the latter, yeah.
mut is actually quite noticable ahead on prio damage
so again, if add need to die asap -> mut
if rest of pack is also relevant -> fok
so fok 5 cp envenom
You’re looking at as a binary thing tho
4-5, yeah
There’s no pack in the game where blasting specifically 1 mob down and doing no damage to the others is faster
While doing a hybrid of aoe and prio is valuable
prolly, really new to rogue just 2 weeks playing and trying to figure out the rotation for m+
i mean it sounds wired, but if you have a lot of situations where you focus down a prio target that need to die asap you could even consider using DD instead of TTK
Which I think is what people want from fok into env
given mut with dd gives you way more value then ttk
in a situation where you would use mut as a builder
how good is the azshara waist?
so let me see if i get it...
sounds really good imo
its an interessting thought, but i think i havent seen anyone drop fok from the rotation even if one target needs to die asap
You nearly never want to use mut tho
🤔
When people refer to prio we're not just giving everything up in the name of prio
in trash, you just garrote, fok , rupture, and the 2 poisons, then fok env
that is what you guys mean?
If that was the case we'd run raid-like setups
an interessting discussion given there might be a lost opotunity
I don't really see the reason for it, though
You're not giving everything up for prio
Because other things give much more overall value
Like foking instead of muting there
There’s no pack in the game where blasting specifically 1 mob down and doing no damage to the others is faster
f.ex. if you push a emisary down that would else get another cast through
but that contradicts with the whole ttk discussion that we had so often
Would you run dd just to help for emissaries
ttk doesnt require 6x per pull every time to buff Env
I mean nearly every emmisary dies before next cast by doing standard prio rotationm
99% of the time, chaging my rotation wont change the amount of casts go off
its nice to do high cleave without cds.
and a good amount of damage for single target
ye i think pure st traits seem less appealing in m+
no dont do pure ss just have good single target and good aoe
or try to
my single target with my setup for m+ does great aoe and good single
I enjoyed SS, but holy shit when they didnt let me re-stealth, I wanted to murder.

now, you just FOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKFOKF.
YUP
more nelf privilege 😄
when do you drop finisher entirely? i dont remember the breakpoint mentioned
on higher than 5t you just spam fok? whoa
same here lol
You just mongo fok
have 3 fok 2scent 1ss. or 1 fok 3ttk 1 ss
Ignore all cp apart from reapplying bleeds
shit was weird.
2n scent 
is that breakpoint only with a certain number of echoing blades traits? or is it independent of traits
I like fokking
so without EB the breakpoint is different? or
What chests have EB/SS? Can't remember
Blighted tribe
Oh yeah, I can do 450s of 3x SS, 2x EB, 1x TTK which I guess isn't too bad
wish blackwater had something better than OP for m+, all of the 3rd rings on my m+ are kind of trash actually
but I guess the extra haste isn't bad for bosses even on Fort weeks
imagine wishing for something besides OP in that ring
thats not bad at all
I know, just for that little extra in m+, plus I'm already at a base of 11% haste with my current m+ set
like 38 crit, 11 haste and some crappy amount of mastery
ahh gotcha, yeh my haste is at 22ish% last i checked with my crit at 55% and my vers 7 crit 25%
i mean mastery 55
crit 25
I guess I'll try some dice/spyglass this week, see how that goes
I need a better dice/glass ... 430 dice and 435 spy, I just want something with a socket. I have had awful luck with sockets on my m+ gear
don't know if I have a single piece with a socket ... but tons of 445/455s, its been weird
my ilvl in m+ in through the roof when it doesn't really matter, go figure
When you are running 3x SS on packs of like 5-6 mobs, is it worth spreading the extra SS around because of the 3x? Or just wasting casts of EB at that point?
You would always open with 3 empowered garrotes
99% of the time y
I do, I was just saying after the empowered, is it worth dotting the rest of the mobs with a garrote if running 3x SS or just worry about keeping 3x SS up and call it a day
no
3 empowered garrote
into rupture
fok rupture to sustain energy
then fok/env
am i correct that there is not a single good ST azerite helmet from dungeons?
or am i missing something
The slithering loa one
slithering loa is your best option out of m+, but it is not the best
ok thanks. yes its not optimal but close
yeah, best one is Zaqul
!essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
I would rly like to re-visit the 5+ target condition discussion for fok spam.
So if i understand it right you still maintain the 5 bleeds for energy i assume.
Hence 3 EB are not the go-to anymore is that also true for 2 EB, and whats about 1 EB?
afaik it's irrelevant of EB
what do you replace the 3rd EB with?
3 SS is the base, then you stick on eb bbi ttk as you want
I asked the same question ages ago to seli fuu, and iirc it was at 5t+ without a prio target
ok, im too poor to keep reforging so I've just been rolling 1 SS 1 EB 2 TTK 1 MA ;_;
MA?
yea
I hope you don't run MA lol
yeah no i dont
All the face icons blend together, for sub i just go down the list picking every face I see : )
Still only 5 traits anyways 
thats how I sim, the max amount of face icons I can have in my build
loyal to the end i htink is my last one
ive only been playing BFA for like 3 resets so I barely have any azerite still
ok much better, forgot to change my nickname
also for orgozoa, if my raid leader just wants me to poomp boss damage, should I just pretend im hitting a training dummy or would keeping 1/2 ruptures up on the adds for energy regen be worth
so, the 5+ dont change with traits?
afaik no
and just FoK whenever I need to keep poisons up
but it requires EB?
wouldnt be EB the base for such a gameplay?
huh?
this situation applies to M+ so you have to imply that yes you would have at least an eb
I mean, seli was talking running no eb so
I wouldn't put it entirely out of question
even though I don't entirely agree with it
eb depending on trait count can do more than fok damage in a pack can't it
i asked mystler if he remembers such a breakpoint
and he refered me to a old discussion in #tc-research from Murmur
where the conclusion was that 6+ targets with 3 eb and 8+ targets with 2 eb are the breakpoints
however he did not ran that sim with PB what should have some impact and also no essences
(2nd one obviousely bc. there where no essences)
I mean these have been the general metrics that have been used since uhh
earlier in s2
Mainly from I was told in here and from seli
so 5 would be slightly below that reseach so in a realm of possibilities
It might also matter what gear those researches were using
But yeah, they've been used for a long while
but hence i found the above to be relevant i re-run the sim.
basically limiting the bleed targets to 5, dissabled Env and added fok as a filler also on higher cp
so to sum it up:
1 EB - 13+ targets to be a win
2 EB - 9 +targets for a win
3 EB - 8+ targets to be a win
was what i got in the sims
Makes eb sound even worse to me
Regular rotation vs mongo fok and keeping bleeds up
I presume
1 eb is with 12 targets hence that was the value it became kinda neutral and i didnt want to re run it again
on average how many CP does each fok gain on the regular one
on how many targets?
Does it always gain full CP to spend? or is it 2-3 fok's away
Could that be affected by how low crit chance you have
the diffrence is quite noticable in fok executions:
122.6 to 183.7
Since it only has 25%
its the dungeon slice profile
Yucko
I don't think that's close to being accurate with what you'd be running in m+, in that case
Yeah it has like 21% haste
then post me a profile you think will alter the outcome
Same was just wondering how much of an effect it would have since EB gains value with crit
15% is a big jump from that one to what's realistic
If you put in uhh, 7% ish haste, 40% crit and mastery, 3% vers
That's really standard
and I have similar to those numbers with lackluster gear
how much is that stat wise
lets see
I'm unsure about how much 15% will alter the value of EB
but should be something
Also, dunno what vers the dslice is running either
How much is fok spam sacrificing in terms of instant poison application
is that a factor at all
i mean i can see it beeing higher
Shouldn't really be sacrificing anything much
wounder how much it can lower the target count tho
nope but it lowered it
let me check the other 2 eb configuarations and post result then
Stat changes effect:
1 EB - 13+ targets to be a win -> 11+
2 EB - 9 +targets for a win -> 7+
3 EB - 8+ targets to be a win -> 6+
so kinda went down quite linear 2 targets
would be interesting to see if and how these thresholds change based on crit%
That's 40%
He did with 25% and those were the earliuer
i.e 2 higher on each target number, pretty much
With bote though it'll go even lower, probably
ah yeah, just read fully
definitely good to have some actual math behind it as well
This really limits the amount you mongo fok huh
in the current season? yeah
fok-spam is really only worth when bote is up
I already felt it being cut when doing higher end keys but yikes
gotta love the bote > 11x fok
the crit-dmg increase during the first 5seconds applies yes
blood could lower it quite a bit ye
cause by the time you could use the 12th
the debuff ran out?
you bote, 12sec duration starts, 1sec gcd from bote
means 11sec left
Isn't it only 10 sec from bote?
is it?
Yeah
moment i just throw in bote, lets see
12 yard
you get my point 😄
yaya I do
So just 9 fok instead
Question is just what number you just fok spam at
with 65% crit
ish
bote seems not significant enough in impact to lower the target limit
An added 25% doesn't lower targets?
that seems... odd
when 15% by changing profile has such a huge impact
Although crit ofc does have a DR
well you have the 15% forthe entire fight
oh yeah
I mean now we're just talking the window
so kinda:
1 EB - 13+ targets to be a win
2 EB - 9 +targets for a win
3 EB - 8+ targets to be a win
starting with 25% crit
with every 7.5% crit additional assumingly lowering the target count by 1
Maybe at this low % it works near linearly, but I'd assume sooner or later there's DR on the amount of % needed per 1 target reduction
probably ye
well it DRs once you get 5echo every fok
would need to make more sims, its just a assumption based on 2 points
at which point adding targets or crit is kind of softcapping the efficiency of EB
the ideal mobcount is when every fok generates 5echoes
Assuming 40% crit, that's gotta be what, 12 targets or something?
12.5?
Napkin math in head at this point
i mean 13 targets was with 1 eb trait
with 40% it went down to 11
tho cp gain is ignored ?
@rigid mango was just talking about ideal situation, i.e. if you get too many mobs you still scale better, but not as strongly
i.e. the jump in overall dps as assa with 3echo going from, say, 8 to 9 targets, is going to be bigger than going from 48 to 49 targets
Aye I'm just doing napkin math at this point
Yeah, ofc
I'm just happy this means I fok less play spec more

yeah, the degenerate fok spam that we had in s2 is pretty much gone outside of bote
and even then its usually better to blast one prio target with envenoms with tb/vendetta up
That feels great
what weapon enchant u guys use? force multiplier is simming higher but i feel like deadly is better
for main hand that is
In a lot of scenarios I find myself blasting emmisaries with CD's anyways
Use what sims higher
And using blood for prio and not mongo
ok
The forntightly gamble begins...
Tempted to save at this point but azshara prog so yolo
GL!
OOF
5 shoulders so far
Should just have saved for that 200k
hahaha yeah, gambling for better gear is so fun tho
wadu
hahahah
Make progress in your sim dps

Azshara not dead 



imagine being the worst rogue in CC, vel
Don't need to imagine 
So like... if people are spamming FoK less how about deeper stratagem.
Huh?
It's not about fok spamming
It's about it playing really bad on trash, not always letting you get 3rd garrote in with SS
when you're supposed to stack SS
It's bad, just bad.
I’ve played it in a handful of keys and have not struggled to get all three garrotes
Then you've been lucky with 3 DP applications
It increases the amount of bleeds needed to go energy positive
You don't stack TTK's like you did in s2
There's just no real reason to take it
Without DP even applied you get all three garrotes at 8.4% haste. You don’t even have to stack TTK to make deeper better than vigor
Just got C&S rank 3, now i don't have to do pvp anymore unless if I really want to!
So Zine now its preferred to run 3 SS 2 EB 1 TTK?
unsure about 2 EB
3 SS and the 1 ttk I like
I think you can drop another EB and go a 2nd ttk or BBI
gorak tuls in m+ DansGame
BBI 
3 ss 2 eb 1 ttk

Imagine trusting other people to do outlaw jobs
what would that point be
3k not playing outlaw 
imagine having a team to run m+ with
hey do you know how to change my details nickname to more than 12 characters
i keep seeing it in videos and stuff
no more FoK changes in the 8.2.5 notes. sad
Huh?
so you're planning to pug it out to 3k? 
eh, more or less
are 8.2.5 notes out already?
i mean the working definition of "pugging" high keys is like
you don't really need to have a set in stone team to do well as long as you play with similar people semi frequently
just filling from your friendslist
New guild I'm joining has some blasters
Some people chilling at near 3k atm
either way, nolonger sin and I'm not a hypocrite so no bueno conversation in this channel
:C
the guy who saltily links ppl to the correct channels goes off topic 
first you go horde and then you dont play sin
block zine
I am confused tryan
i think zine meant the convo wasnt sin related anymore
Bingo.
So I hope this is the right place to ask this, but damn I need some help from an experienced rogue. I'm pulling about 7k dps less than my sim is saying i should be doing on a patchwerk style fight and I'm absolutely stumped.
Link a log and I'll take a look
I've read the stickies, simmed, etc
So i haven't pve'd since wrath. by log, you mean world of logs? or is there a way to import details data?
worldoflogs became more or less defunct many years ago
warcraftlogs is the replacement
but it's basically the asme thing
cool, ill check it out.
and no you can't import details data it uses combat log and an eternal program to process the information
if you've pugged maybe someone has logged a raid with you in it you'd just need to say your name/realm
oh thats great, i was just in a pug that posted a log supposedly.
What's your name and server?
I can see one heroic log
Yeah the one from today isnt there
if there's something more recent than that it's either private of the person hasn't uploaded it yet
Question. On my rogue i am finding i have a lot of down time trying to regen my energy so i feel like i am missing out on heaps of dps i know haste increases my energy regen but all the gear i am simming is saying the crit mastery stuff is better for me. So should i just stick with what the sims say or stack more haste or something else? P.s i am very new to rogue 😂
yes thats the one
Sim
you will have downtime as this spec
I think you've misunderstood how sin works
Pooling is sorta a part of the spec
It's lower apm, you end up having windows where you do nothing and wait to press buttons rapidly in windows
ive noticed the downtime feels a lot less once you get 2nd minor, either that or im playing the spec wrong
Like per say, pre TB window
hmmm
Downtime isn't that high, but there's enough to throw someone off sin
Sorry this is the first dps I've played
It isn't one of the specs where you need to click a button each GCD
Oh okay well i am playing it wrong haha 😂
There's a lot of windows for minmaxing
Thats probably my problem
You'll do fine if you just click as hard as you can each GCD, though
Aslong as your TB windows are clean
im constantly energy starved feeling i need to hit a button any time energy allows
Minmaxing minor windodws don't matter
Yeah, you really don't
Aslong as you're not overcapping energy and have full bleeds up, you're not losing any dmage
general baseline stuff from looking at ashvane naked you're playing master poisoner for some reason which is never correct, your opener is incorrect, you didn't garrote 2x on your vanish @2mins, you delayed your vend till 160sec for some reason which means you didn't get use out of the end of it
So do i just maintain my dots, make sure i never hit max energy and than get as much into TB window and vanish window aswell as vendetta?
You can let your energy pool from 0 to 99% and aslong as you hit a button before that full energy, you've not lost any potential damage
you have massive holes where your rupture is just not on the boss somehow
those holes are likely energy starved areas where im not pooling energy
Okie dokie thanks Zine
you just didn't cast toxic blade for like a minute somehow
rupture should be up 100% of the time
that's what gives you energy
the basics of the spec are very simple: learn the opener for the gear you have, learn pandemic timers for your two bleeds and make sure they're up 100% of the time, and press tb on cd
so i do have a question about TB, that pin about on cd, that means on cd
regardless
regardless of energy and/or cp
right?
Actually what is the pandemic timers for the bleeds and does envenom have one or do i just use envenom to keep elaborate planning rolling?
Pandemic is 7.2 on rupture, 5.4 on garrote
the envenom buff does pandemic but isn't something worth caring about
if i could point to one big problem for me its using TB more efficiently
don't worry about using is efficiently till you know you're using it
You just try to snipe EP and Env buffs as late as you can
using is badly is better than not using it
but it's minmaxing
So as long as i refresh them with less than 7.2 and 5.4 seconds i am good?
like i said once you have a baseline of 100% bleed uptimes, max tb casts during a fight you can get
Yeah
you can look into how to maximize the damage of those windows
Aslong as you reapply under that timer
right on
You're fine
Awesome
6seconds for a 4cp rupture is probably good to know too
What should i be casting in my TB vanish windows?
is that 6 seconds on rupture for using 4cp or clipping a 4cp
using a new one
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/k3RAXrL2DMzBw86W#fight=2&type=casts&source=6&view=timeline anything rlse i couldve done on this fight
So i should be using vendetta tb and vanish together?
Except get frozen after pressing TB like a fuckin Pepega
those are some nagging questions ive had for a while. thank you so much guys
You should, when vanish and vend are ap
up*
But you should ofc be spamming tb in the meanwhile
Finally got a dagger upgrade for oh Blesssss
It should go something along the lines of how the opener goes
Do i pop vendetta before or after i apply garrote and rupture?

you had garrote fall once for like a decent length of time, rupture fell twice, you could delay vend to your guardian knowing it's a <4min fight as long as you know your guild won't blast it in like 3:20
looks like you're taking your soaking pool pretty far too on your 32sec tb you just stopped hitting the boss for like 12 seconds
and it wasn't an overwhelming barrage cast
so you ALWAYS refresh garrote at 5.4 and rup at 7.2?
Yes
below those values, but yeah
the first convenient time below 5.4 for garrote, below 6 for a 4cp rupture, and below 7.2 for a 5cp rupture
it doesn't have to be the first global after that as long as you understand that they need to be refreshed between those timers and 0
and the longer you delay the shorter that bleed will be and require more maintenance
for example if you know vend is coming up soon it's quite nice to ensure you get a fully pandemiced rupture up just beforehand if you can
and do you normally use font off cd also
font just goes with vend basically, so whenever you're doing that, which is probably on cd
ive seen some ppl use font with a tb window but before vendetta to save vend for coral
which seems pretty Pepega to me but
no that's just.. bad
the way you used font on the sivara pull is pretty f ine, like i say i would've delayed that vend but that's just a fight specific thing
yeah you push the entire font vend coral sequence back
but that's not something to do if you're not confident in fight length
like if you know your sivara kill is between 3:30 and 4:10
you would just, open as you did, font guardian coral vend at 3 mins
that's a minor gain and if you don't understand how long the fight will be you can easily lose a vend cast and a massive amount of damage so
yeah true, thanks for that
was the pooling etc fine tho?
extra pooling with that 8sec stun too of course 
it's like.. okay? i guess
you're not doing any pooling before env really
like if you plot your energy one sec
to be fair since i started running 2dd now with unmooring gorak blackwater i should probably start pooling for envenom to maximise dd mut damage
obviously ep bosses arent patchwerk and im not a robot but that dmg chart is looking so much more different to the sim one idek what to feel 
like
this env is basically just for nothing
there's no reason not to delay it
you delay it to ~100energy normally right?
even higher really, 120-130ish
100 is a number you can start to aim for as a minimum i guess
i guess i never really know when to re-start the pooling cycle once ive pooled env once to 130 and you get to do like a good 3 after that
without worrying about starving
you hit 4cp and don't need to maintain bleeds? wait
tyvm^^^^^
exceptions for during tb/vend obviously
if either of those are up just mash to fit as much into them as you can
i'll try, anyways since then i managed to get goraks + 65 neck so fingers crossed i end up doing a lot more dps than that 
whats everyone mainly using for 3rd essence?
Whats the best way to deal with garrote needing to refreshed while at 4/5 CP right before toxic blade is coming off of CD? Waste the CP from garrote/toxic blade, or Envenom and hold TB for a few extra seconds?
waste CP
Define "right before"
like 3 seconds before TB is coming off CD, with garrote being at about 8 seconds
you tb and refresh during
TB -> Envenom -> refresh im assuming
Bingo
Thanks!
Ihateazsharaihateazsharaihateazshara
WA the fight
the thing about azshara m is, that it costs so much time to get to the "hard" parts of the fight
the first 5 minutes or so are boring af
yeah we got into p4 some times now, but still about 2 weeks away from the kill due to players quitting for classic (LUL)
people get mindcontrolled over and over again... spears are not 100% accurate and we wipe cause of this
so stupid
but thats #off-topic
Dumb question but I'm pretty new to WoW. Does it matter which dagger is in the main- and offhand? I have a 430 and 445 one.
you want the higher ilvl in your mainhand
I thought so, thanks
mainhand weapon damage does WAY more damage than offhand
Does the gem matter? I have force multiplier on my current mainhand which is the 430 one
Do I swap it to my 445?
doesnt matter
Okay thank you
My dagger also has a socket. Do I insert +120 agility or +50 crit? Agility seems to be low in stat weights but I still think it's the best choice?
Okay
@zine hey m8, you around?
3 target cleave using a DD/ss build (Rastakhan In BoD for example) what type of general rotation is optimal? Do you garrote 3 targets then single target the priority damage on 1 of them?
whats better for assasination m+ 2 EB and 1 SS or 2 SS and 1 EB
cause with my gear i cant do 3 and 3
2 ss 1 eb probs
Nah, keep as is
How much haste should you have in raids?
I had 22% and all crit gems but sim told me to change all gems to haste
now it have 26 and it feels like alot
9
always
what benthic piece is most important
Im starting to upgrade them
n0ot sure which to get to max ilvl first
prolly feet right ?
they are kinda better
I don't really know if it changes benthic leveling priority tho
just sim yourself with the different benthics you have on higher ilvl with gear compare
to see what you should level first
But the levelling prio is really scuffed
ya i just wanted to see which to upgrade first
Just sim yourself with the 425 equiv and do accordingly
u think its worth rolling and trying to get the other bracers
Im debating if i should upgrade my 420s or keep puffer fish or go for better ones
I didn't think so, and upgraded mine
Anyone mind DMing me to help analyze some of my logs?
just post em here
If you're shy or whatnot, I normally do
not shy, just didn't want to crowd up incase I had follow ups
but I guess others can learn from them
I'll take a peak when I get home since wcl on phone sucks
Appreciate it
you wanna change your opener to this
its also okay to overcap combo points with toxic blade, rather than using envenom before using tb
like here, where you could pool with max cp into tb
you only got 1 envenom in this tb window, you wanna aim for like at least 2
When do you use BotE for the "new" Opener?
it's all good
what's the new opener been playing classic too much did i miss anything?
the "new" opener he refers to is the MA one, it can be found in the guide for rotations
The one that vani linked
i see thx
It's been like this for well over two months now I think
@worldly iron thanks man, appreciate the feedback, I'll be practicing that opener
yeap been playing this whole patch my bad didn't see it
just to clarify, if my 1st mut only get me to 3 cp then I'd want to mut again before rupture, correct?
yes
right on
If it doesn't get you 4, you mut again
And if you mut twice at first, the opener changes a tiny bit
You go
Mut
Mut
Rup
Gar
Mut
And then as regular on cds
P much you just wanna garrote next gcd after rup granted you're not in MA anymore
makes sense
another question based on the above, should TB only be used w/ >3 cp? since I'd assume i'd want to env immediately afterwards?
ok, didn't know if using it with 0-2 CP was a waste since I prob would only get 1 env within the window
Well, then you planned poorly
You can even use TB at 5 cp and it’s fine
You'd want to pool
in a perfect world you have close to max energy and 4 cp when tb comes off cd
yeah I need to work on pooling in prep for TB
You use tb regardless of cp and energy
roger that
If you have low on either and miss envenoms, odds are that's poor preplanning and counts as missplay
appreciate the help all, should help me out a bunch
Hi folks, I was wondering with the Razor Coral trinket you use it every time Vendetta is up regardless of how many charges you have ?

Yeah but I just wanted to make sure there was no other factor.
Thanks @worldly iron
anytime
guys, question, why does raidbot say 430 w/socket Gloves of Incomparable Beauty is better than 440 Gloves of the Iron Reavers and 440 Underrot Grotto Tenders? Sorry, dont know how to link gear into discord.
Aren't those the azshara hands?
yes, they are
I just got it last night, dont even know what effects it will do, apart from reading it only
And it had a socket
I have
You should be able to understand it does a lot of damaage
Last time I checked losing 0 stats and just gaining a near 15k proc x3 each 2 min is better than 10 ilvls
but the other gear of that kind, Im only wearing 2 and now 3 because of the gloves.
although I understand what you mean @rigid mango
storm of the eternal rises for 10 sec every 2 mins. dealing 14,196 arcane damage 3 times to a random enemy within 60yds. all storm of the eternal effects occur simoutaneously
That's the text, yep
please 🙂
got it, thanks @rigid mango and @arctic walrus

What's your default rotation in M+ on packs guys ?
Iris is bis for ST
but any swap and its worse?
not entirely, you have like 3 seconds to hit the target to keep your stacks up
But on certain fights it's devalued because you swap, yeah
or you have some other way of gaining energy/haste
Like per say, orgozoa, court, zaq
They all have some way you lose value on it, although swapping isn't even that bad aslong as you don't do it super often
aight!
@unreal burrow open w 3 garrotes, rupture, build and rupture from there, you fok to build and spend on envenoms on prio target, reapply bleeds with ruptures/vanish 3 garrotes again, if you're at a huge pack, you can spam fok and ignore all CP
ok ty @rigid mango
hello guys, new rogue here 🙂 i love assa for now but i love m+ soo can u tell me can assa handle good in m+ high keys?
Yes.
if using font and coral, use coral as soon as possible after the pull?
Yep
If you're unsure about coral and font usage, there's a paragraph in #tc-updates
yes, did just read the pins prior to asking and figured it is going to be saved then
lets have a look, t
y
any where i can find bis gear for assa?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tRb4mPdmiGgEjvBSLZrzju Why do I sim so low? 😦
@strange python BiS is hard to say in bfa
so i've seen. Cant find much anywhere
You lack two benthics, lack sockets, lack 430 font
etc
Helm is aight
Your azerite choices seem a bit scuffed but might just be the best with unoptimised gear
You're also simming 2x loyal without any loyal allies

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hPV77EscEPtnBYeWisqjg9 that's more like it
Oooh, thanks, not really that good on simming ^^
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/terXyWRtQJjotANUtxM23M Any ideas? Not good at this simming thing
Do you still need the command for using azsharas trinket
pre pull?
or is it in the apl now
In the apl
what essence do you go for at zaqul trying out for my reclear
is it blood vision puri
or lucid
Difficulty? And are u on echos?
ye delirium
How do I know if the raidbot sim is calculating my Benthic pieces or not?
is this option checked or not?
Ah, I was unsure of how to get that menu open. Just not too familiar with Raidbots. I found it, thank you.
