Oh yeah I know haha
I'm not here for gem advice yet, no point gemming sub optimal gear and weapons yet
It's a 370 iLVL weapon. I can't get a better to drop currently and it's hurting XD
So Raidbots shown DPS, that's the best DPs you can get out of that gear isn't it? Assuming you put all enchant/gems in and play perfectly? Am I understanding that properly?
Haha thanks Raz XD
Only been back playing a few weeks so it's slow going. Current plan is to spam whatever mythic drops Dagger (TOl Dagor ideally) and Nazjatar to roll for pearls.
im simming it for u now, moment
ye thats a good plan
remember to not upgrade benthic items without sockets
Yeah I've spent 160 pearls so far rolling
Which is why I was double checking best order this morning 😄
Cheers
We are starting Heroic EP this week so just trying to prep as many upgrades as possible for that. (We all only just came back to playing 3-4 weeks ago)
triple ttk 
Sweet. Is that EP or Mythic focussed? Does Raidbots have two modes for that?
Thanks for that, will have a play around with Raidbots some more. Is there anyway for me to see which gears you chose to sim?
So I can try and understand what I can ignore/bin?
Ah run sim again brings it up
Ah wait no it doesnt
i just used my brain a little
youll learn as you play more what pieces are potential upgrades dont worry
TODAYS EMISSARY IS A WEAPON! Hurray!
how is assa coampared to outlaw in m+ this season
outlaw is still #1
but it doesnt shit THAT MUCH on every single other dps spec in the game anymore, sin works
Outlaw s+, sin is like, s
see, unplayable /s
Outlaw however, is nearly required thanks to their utility
you can play sin, the difference is that outlaw is less effort/way more easy too gear/better utility cus of stuff like gouge, deffensive vansih etc.......
if you dont play very high keys, it doesnt matter that much
but on the top edge players, outlaw shines a bit more.
Outlaw enables the other DPS to do damage
hey guys, what is the best way to use Razercoral with Font of power?

ok, the pin tells me to use coral with vendetta, does that actually mean i shoud always wait 15? so font, 15sec, vendetta and coral?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ggq8iU9DRpb9nrjPDZPhBC hi guys i'm trying to improve my sim, but seems like i cant go further than that. Can someone please give me a hand?
more sockets 2 benthic
that's the only stuff i can improve right? having luck with drops
I mean this far into the tier
not having full benthic is lazy, not lack of rng
unless you're the unluckiest person in the world
Yeah thats normal
how tf u on that many pearls when theres 2 belts
luck i guess
Sounds more like exarragated numbers
I ran 4 toons for 2 months
Every day
And it took 2 full months to get boots
So exaggerated numbers isn’t the case some times
Wow that must've sucked!
That’s running 4 fucking toons lol
Yeah it sucked it’s over now but I got it
if u wanna keep it up.
Dayum I feel for you friend !
Stock up on tokens, dont use 3 every day. There is bad luck prevention with sockets/tf right
So you dont use your good rng on wq garbage
XD
No ?
anyone fancy having a gander at some ashvane logs with me? we've been trying to 2 phase so im looking to squeeze out every last drop of damage i can
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/6ThcPFNY1nzVq4wk - I'm Volniron, played outlaw for a few pulls but was sin for most
not to be rude but there is no way you are 2 phasing with that dps
yeah overall raid dps is too low
guess we just keep pluggin away. feel like there isnt much more i can do anyway
to 2 phase or just in general?
to 2phase
that'll be why we're not trying to anymore then haha, thats way way off
idk, if you're 20% off, idk if you'll even have dmg to 3phase it...
we got the boss to 16% i think before 3rd shield went up, or do you mean kill the 3rd shield then finish boss
suppose thats a lot of time too
Does font channel break shroud?
Got it, just got one last night and I’d hate to pull a goofball move like start channeling right in front of the boss
if you get him too 16%before the 3rd shield you have the dmg
Happened on 3 pulls out of the 20
hmm
avergae damage during hero (2nd break) is 800k, but during first break is about 611
hey, in the guide is written, taht u use vanish with vendetta, i mostly like to use vanish the first time after the empowered garrote is down.
but then i have about 20s delay on vendetta
Yes that's normal
so vanisch after opener is fine?
Yes, you vanish late and then align the 2nd vend to the 2nd vanish
so in about 2m 20 sec you will press both
Would you guys pick conflict over iris (as minor) on orgozoa even if your role is to just prio boss?
Seems very smallish on sims, like 83 dps
what did you sim
50.9k
Yeah yeah
Conflict is really good
if you're struggeling on prog, you can probably run conflict
If you're keeping ruptures up, conflict might push ahead as well
Alright thanks
Bingo
should you wait for second CLF to use it among with second vendetta and first coral stack use?
or does clf not benefit from vendetta at all
It doesn't benefit from vendetta at all, but vendetta benefits from CLF haste
It's in the pins, for that matter
Did you read the pin?
im trying to make a orange parse so little stuff like this matters
so hold clf for 3rd vendetta?
for minor gain
still a gain
if it doesn't miss you a cast
no
If you can get 3 casts of CLF use on cd and pair with 4th vendetta
But if you can only get 2 use with 3rd vendetta
so you don't hold
ahh gotcha
Vendetta gains value from clf through the 100% uptime of the 5% dmg buff as well
that's the most important stuff 😉
Yeah , why
so my brain works in a different way and i made a chart
to see better the missed casts and what not
1st Vendetta 0:11
2nd Vendetta 2:11
3rd Vendetta 4:11
4th Vendetta 6:11
Fight end 7:00
5th Vendetta 8:11
1st CLF 0:10
2nd CLF 3:10
3rd CLF 6:10
Fight ends 7:00
4th CLF 9:10
you said if I hold for 3rd vendetta i miss a CLF cast?
If you cast CLF at 4:11
With 3rd vendetta
You get it back at 7:11
When the fight has already ended
Okay
Nd if you dont hold it you get another cast at 6 mins
that makes much more sense lol
ur rught
right
so pretty much it should most of the time be paired up with 4th vendetta
and first
then no 4th vendetta
If you cast CLF at 3 mins in its own or at 4 with vendetta
ok
You dont get another cast anyways so better pair them up
okk that makes sense
😄
thanks i understand much better now lol
i dont know why it didnt make much sense in my brain at first
1head
vendetta prepull huh lol
so crucible rank 3 sims about 200 dps higher than BoTE rank 3 for me o_0
Coral + Azshara's font .. i guess sync Font with vendetta since the insane primary stat increase .. what about coral ?
Check the pins
"more info in #tc-updates "
^
great ! ty
Benthic Gloves - Is it the Poen's ones?
"While in Nazjatar or the Eternal Palace, your spells and abilities have a chance to send out droplets which heal allies or deal Frost damage to enemies."
yup those are the ones
Sweet. Finally got one with a socket \o/
Noice 😄 I got mine 3 days ago as well ^^
Just bracers belt and waist to go haha
Doesit matter which way enchants are on weapons?
Nope
bracers are hell
Indeed.
which one is the easiest? so i know which to target first
at zaqul if i do 1. and 2. split is vop necessary?
Yes
What traits should I be using in m+?
SS/ TTK /EB
How many of each?
5
Ye
do i keep the 2nd vanish until 3. vend?
me?
ye
used razor+ink, but i think i switch to razor+cyclo
dmg stop
do autohits proc ink and coral?
and everyone with ink/coral
should keep on spamming dps
just to get stacks up
so like
You stop dps at like
90% or smth
say 92-93 can't member waht we did
and everyone with ink or coral or both keeps on dpsing like normal
to create as many stacks as possible
i like japanese schoolgirls
Are you a big and gross tentacle?
anyone know why some rogues run Conflict and Strife in the Mythic Queen Azshara fight?
!Essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
MA build using vanish
You'd do Vanish > TB > Evnenom mutilate env mutilate?
Or TB first?
im assuming you have 2-3 combopoints before you vanish>tb>envenom
And what kind of opener would you use with the MA build?
gotten so used to subterfuge build
@glacial crypt
its kinda funky on here
but
i usually do vanish then toxic blade for the extra dmg, but some would say that right there would be better for an extra crit on envenom
since MA is only 5 secs
MA is like, 3 seconds
So TB before vanishing
I believe its optimal yes
Thank you:))
Its also better to envenom twice during MA since the 2nd one will be buffed by Elaborate Planning
^ that too
@hasty fiber because it has very good uptime
And with iris minor you drop stacks often due to target switching (hulk, adds, aethanel/cyranus, myrmidon)
so would you say that would be better than crucible flame minor?
best 2nd minor for meme+ ?
I believe lucid is always best minor, no matter the circumstance.
lucid c&s is the most common
lucid gives you like what, 370 something vers with >70% uptime before even considering the refunds and healing
Yup.
k thanks
i think if you were going based on pure damage to massive packs that are guaranteed to be stacked (6-10t+) purification probably beats out conflict but in the real world conflict will just give you a lot more value
question, anyone on queen azshara rn?
can yall tell me what you are currently simming on single target
with bote major, con and strife minor and memory of lucid dream minor?
what can you get from seeing a sim
what food do rogue's buy for M+ ?
Crit or mastery
just examples of how much dps output i should be doing @arctic walrus
i always take 3k dps off from sims anyway since its unrealistic
You could just go to logs and check specifically how much each rogue is doing on azshara
You have too much downtime on Azshara for sims to be effective.
Fight is basically a 3 part fight.
First a 2 minute 2 target fight.
Then a 2 minute 1 target fight.
Then a 3 minute 2 target fight.
Then again 1.5 minute 1 target fight.
4 parts, actually 😄
opog
So i was watching some of the top rogues on parses and i saw they all used the first cast of coral at around 15-20 seconds after fight starts
is there any reason for this, isnt it to start stacking it asap
better*
Theyr'e using font and coral?
Seems eerily like that CD
ahhhhh gotcha did not know that
so when you dont have font do you use it before first mutilate? or at same time as first mut
or macro maybe?
the first cast of coral
ok
true
How are some rogues able to beat their sims by such a large margin on seemingly single target fights?
Looking at ashvane
every class does that
kill time
So for bohemouth its pretty much impossible to get decent logs unless you 2 platform it on mythic? etc?
To get top tier logs, ye
Makes so much sense, thanks for answering my dumbass question
Stuff that has set timers/phases
You can easily log much better thanks to kill timers
first 3 are perfect examples of that¨
I mean
You can get decent logs without having perfect kill timers
95+
but you can't roll 100's without them
yeah
even if you check top logs on some fights you will see 1 min or more differences on kill timers
especially on first 3 that get pugged by every random and has much higher number of logs
Sometimes people just had nutty luck
Everything crit, welp insane log
even tho it wasn't greatest kill timer
i really dont like the RNG Crit combo points
I mean you got 50 things that are rng that impact your log
get lucky and you can get 4 env into TB, unlucky and you get 3?
hell lucid is biggest rng fiesta of them all
you can become fury warrior level of spam with good procs
Just going straight 3-4 env each tb window
is so much damage
compared to 2-3
There's a lot of RNG and that's how it's gonna be
sin doesn't have the highest variance, but afaik it's aight
indeed, at that point how do you feel about your EP and ENV buff uptimers?
I mean, I pool and play around them when I can
It's a very minor gain in the end
and a lot of the time you gain p much nothing, because lucid woulda done it for you anyways
yeah personally i just play around EP dont even track envenom lmao
I track both
but if EP's done, Env is done too
more or less
if I pool to the point where env is out
Env wont matter
you get nearly every muti inside of env windows by just playing the game anyways
Ah
thanks man
Are there any talents in the tree that you wish were better/more viable?
Exsang possibly?
all of the last ones for m+ purposes
Maybe deeper strat and possibly MFD?
Although I prefer tb to exsang anyays
Should just remove something and put in kingsbane tho
Kingsbane ftw
I kinda thought that with lucid coming we might not be still using vigor tbf
It's not a big diff
it feels different to play though imo
Kingsbane 
I mean, I think EP is by far the best in first row
I think TB is generally the best in that row
talking from a gameplay standpoint
It's mostly about vigor/ds/mfd and last row
since you take PB in literally every scenario
Maybe MA vs subt?
pray to RNGsus for procs on adds
I wish there was more cleave to make subt more viable
i wish dispatch was actually useful talent 
Meh, PB rng isn't high impact anymore
Blindsied

I think blindside'd be dope if it actually worked properly
but DD killed off that ever happening, aslong as that's a trait
yeah DD not working with the talent was such a bad decision from blizz
That being said
if it was even a decision, they probably forgot the talent existed
Do you ever play blindside even if it does?
i have no idea tbh
yea
since it's nearly always up
I'm v glad MP isn't good
same for VR, same for nightstalker
they're all giga boring
last row talent being good is what sin really needs, then I'm p happy
yea
You play around Envenom by accident anyway don't you since you are playing around Elaborate planning? I.e. not pooling until EP fades? I guess there's an extra 2 seconds you could play around of Envenom.
I mean, yeah
And agree, better option in last talent tree would nice. Poison Bomb is beginner friendly but having it locked behind a 20% RNG is meh.
Lucky that RNG doesn't matter tho
that's the thing
It doesn't do any huge damage, so getting fucked on rng a couple times doesn't change much
It's just sad the final row is basically RNG AFK AOE damage gain vs worse but more reliable ramp up AOE vs bad but reliable AOE
Actually question, Prey on the Weak - is there any reason to take this in EP? Maybe Azshara for the big adds if your on stun duty?
Yeh, azshara
But yeah, main issue I see atm with sin is the last row
the fact that PB is the best choice even for m+ is very dumb to me
and that it really shows that the other options are truly undertuned
Yeah it's odd that last row. 6th row sucks too IMO. All 3 are bad/useless for raid pretty much. Seems weird not to atlest have a semi decent raid choice in there.
is that the cc utility?
They are, but having none do much in raid feels bad IMO. Maybe allow the secondary effect to work even when the stun/silence isn't on? Prey would probably be overtuned then though.
Like if they're unsilencable still reduce damage for half the duration? If unstunnable still do half udration amp damage
I mean every class has a row like that
Exactly
True I guess.
I have no issue with there being that
Last tier we only had conc where it was useful
this tier, it's potentially azshara if ur on stun duty
It should have the posibility to be more diverse in m+
but the other options are a bit too undertuned for sin in comparison to iron wire
Silence*
extra silence and damage reduc
It's super good
IB is interesting and I ran it a lot early on last season
But using kidney with prey feels aweful
great with ib
but ironwire is too good
I assume Prey is super hard to sim as well thinking about it? As its worth depends on everyone elses damage output?
And then you have inconistencies on what can/can't be stunned too
prey needs a high ammount of players actually focus that 1 target
like, if you stun the hulk on aszhara
Nah, it doesn't need a lot
to be a dps gain
think about it
10% of everyone doing say
40k
Yeah, it's a good bump. Would bump my 20k to 22k 😄
I mean, you're not accounting for wasting a gcd, energy and 5 cp on a spell that does no dmg itself
Ah yeah that's true as well. So you have to remove EV+Increase poison damage from it
I mean yeah
It's got huge potential gain for raid damage
on stuff like hulk
Tkae this example
raid did 587.7k dps on first hulk
That's an added neraly 60k from pressing kidney
I mean that's one of the reasons why outlaw is so good in keys
Although if u have an outlaw it's even better
Yeah true. I should really try outlaw at some point (I know, dirty to say in here).
Means trying to find a sword though haha. Took me ages get a dagger.
So, I was told undulating tides was a shitty trait, but it is the highest on bloodmallet for single target..?
Have you read what the trait does?
Well it procs frost damage on hit..?
Ooooooh. I see, now. So it'd mean I'd gain damage as long as I don't don't drop under 50%..?
Yes
And as soon as you d
ALL of the damage effect is gone for 45 seconds
So in a realistic scenario, where you will drop hp, it's a very bad trait
I see. Thanks for the explanation, me dummy. x.x
glgl 😄
So my azerite pieces are indeed terrible... x.x
does any 1 kno todays new affixes. my addon isnt working
Are you NA?
ya
Read your key?
crippling poison is only slow right? doesnt do any dmg
reset didint happen yet
@crystal vault ye
Im asking for when reset hits
I mean, first of all
not a sin question
second of all
how are we supposed to know when it's a week that's never happened before
since we're in first rotation
🤷
wait for reset like everyone else.
Sucks.
no reason to ask a stupid question in the wrong channel 😄
get over it
How ironic.
Don't ask the question in the wrong channel
we've got rules for this exact thing
Feel free to read the rules like you're asked to when joining 🙂
ok thats fine. regardless no reason to be an ass
I took the 2seconds to google it. EU - Bursting Skittish and Tyrannical apparently.
No idea if that's reliable or not.
But agree, #wow-general
When do i use adrenalin rush?
Look at this mad man now.
Hi I'm on orgozoa and I am using echoing blades with deeper stratagem. Should I focus on fully dotting the ads? Or should I put minimal bleeds on them (enough to maintain full energy regeneration) and focus on envenoming the boss? Also, should I ever not use a finishing move and continue to use fan of knives while at full energy? I do not have scent of blood traits unfortunately, if that changes anything.
the question you should be askin is "does the raid need more add dmg or more boss dmg"
@storm forum
the answer to that should give you the answer on what you should focus on as a player
you will find conflicting information if you look at random public logs
understand the boss, understand your raid and fill the role thats needed to kill the boss (i would guess its most likely boss dps thats missing since the dps check is kinda tight depending on your setup)
Ok
99% of the time, go standard boss dps
if u dont care about ur logs :D
There's way more efficient ways to get more add damage than swapping sin stuff around
Much better classes at doing that
The farthest we got was the 4th set of ads. We were light on AoE/add damage last time after the opener (combustion destroyed the first set) and we had a couple deaths so the third set still had like 30% hp when the 4th set came.
We only had like 10ish pulls though. And someone is swapping to their shadow priest (and another rogue said they would see if they could had azerite for outlaw) so I guess I'll have to see where we are at tonight
if u are confident with sub and have azerite for it u meld boss. eb destroy fully the adds and outlaw is a good mix
If you're proggin the fight
Going eb build is hampering your raid
99% of the time
There's better solutions to add damage than going that build that does absolutely nothing
and it is a very boss damage oriented fight, even though that might sound weird
Play subtlety
@rigid mango is right
there are much better classes for add dmg
still ... most raids have to work with what they have
Yeah, but most of the time you'll have a class that's more efficient in cleaving
or spec
Like outlaw.
yes
You can use echoing blades build.
orrrrrrrrrr, you know.. Both outlaw and sub are pretty good.

Offering up all your ST for the sake of AoE/cleave is very innefficient for sin
Yeah, agreed
but then again, outlaw might be overkill for add dps in that specific case
what i want to say is, its not black and white most of the times
thats why i said, understand the boss, understand your raid and your role in it

Its not black and white, yet echoing blades is still bottom tier solution for most scenarios involving orgozoa.

Outside of that
Fully agree with your post
I mean if people go EB on prog
I would get them out of prog
Unless your comp is so insanely funnel ST focused
That you really, really have to
i am not even sure if i used it on prog 😄
Sub's better for boss damage, outlaw's better for the fight if you need a mix of both
The one fight sin sucks at
i think we just had the rogues try out some shit and felt like adds and boss are going down pretty good at some point, so we just all stick with what we had at the time
and it worked out well
just play your best
I always play my best 
I tend to just rupture adds and return to boss on Orgozoa. Don't do adds 
We suck though so ignore me aha
i mean yeah if you do that and build for single target you should be right up there on boss damage
which is still important
but erryone gotta get that high parse
I might just go sub for this fight
Can anyone suggest any streamers that push high keys as sin?
You'll make him blush 😄
So in m+ does mastery become more important? Can't help but notice top m+ rogues with like 8-9% haste and then a bunch of crit and mastery.
In AoE haste becomes pretty crappy
And does that transition into raiding too, or would it be better to run more haste in raids?
Haste is king in single target
Mastery is pretty meh nowadays on ST
but the best in m+
Crit is second best for me in raid st
rn you run 1 eb and get crit to about 35%
then rest into mastery
And stack SS traits
Kek, okay so if I want to take sin into both then I would be best running two sets, one with focus on haste and another for mastery?
one with focus on haste mastery, one with crit mastery
I think you should always sim things to give yourself a better idea of where you want to go too.
it obviously depends from character to character but a sim will never ever tell anyone no matter what to run haste for m+
LUL
Granted you're optimised
You're running r3 blood
which gives about 10% haste when it goes full stacks and procs
the minor, that is
and you get that from about 2-3 foks
So on every pack you're essentially playing with ATLEAST 16% haste, but more realistically 18-20%
You can run more EB's but in this meta it's not needed
Granted you do, more crit is good
But right now, 3 SS 1 EB is a good base for everything and anything
is it irontide, pistoleers and blackwater that gives 3ss 2ttk 1eb
adding on ttk, bbi or another eb on there
Is good
Aslong as it's any of them you're fine
And yes, Sin is a fucking abomination to gear.
but it feels too good when you get full bis
has anyone cracked what the most optimal trinkets are for m+ on tyr weeks
Coral spyglass will always work on tyr weeks
better than coral inkpod?
Although I've seen people muck about with the ML trinket
since apparently it got stealth buffed
did it? 
Apparently so
Heard it from one source I trust, and saw seli w it equipped
So either truly mastery whoring
Or it's actually decent
I mean, flat mastery + agi proc is preeetty good for m+
time to farm ml
Depends entirely on how good it actually is
to be fair my mastery is pretty low atm
im like 40crit 35mast 10vers
is socketting mastery instead of crit ever good

I'm not socketing mastery yet bec I need the crit sockets to keep my crit up
but when I optimise my gear a bit more
I'm aiming for 60% mast
Seli said that he runs 1 EB only on KR/Sephra/Boralus that have smaller packs, otherwise he pretty much always goes 3xSS 2xEB 1xTTK. On big pull you still want more than 1 EB
When'd he say that
he also has the ml trinket in 455 which obviously makes it a lot better
I mean
Shit at 455 is still shit
Granted it's shit, or maybe it's good
and in that case being 455 is great
I had 2 of them at 425 socketed last season and they were still worse
I tried it in a few dungeons and it ended up with 20-25% uptime usually
and the fat mastery is really good for triple ss
Thing is agility doesnt boost your aoe dmg very much even tho its not that bad
FoK with EB doesnt scale with agi at all
Do you think that's all your damage or?
SS is majority damage with 3 ss
Garrote*
Thinking purely around EB when you're only running 1-2 whilst relying on 3 stacking something else seems weird to me
yeah garrote should be still your #1 dmg in dungeons unless there is like insane packs where fok with eb pulls ahead like shrine on eels
it depends on the dungeon
with 3 ss 2 eb 1 ttk mostly eb is my highest :9 - in trash heavy dungeons
I believe that's still the case
Holy shit boys
i've rolled 5 445's from the vendor this season
Gorak Tul, Slithering Loa, Cephalohide
and blighted tribe/fluid machinations, but those aren't as good, atleast not for raid.
guessing the murky wins for m+ right
speed is bis, ofc it wins
with speed you can run too the next pack without stealth faster cus your tank didnt let you stealth 

my vers is like 10% but its the same as my mastery so i guess i can affort to cut some to get like 50%

You know, I'm a little hesitant to follow what the sim is telling me to do
I'm sitting at 41% Mastery, and it says I should put mastery in my gems? 😄
What essences are you using? Patchwork or dslice?
ignore general guide stat weights
Link the sim
So if I were to use CLF it'll want me to take crit / haste gems?
CLF generally values everything apart from mastery
But your traits do also favour mastery
Ahh god dammit I simmed with the wrong helmet
I'll be progressing Zaqul tomorrow
Even if my vision is only rank 2?
i'd go 0 haste on za'qul
Yeah
full crit/mastery
vision only needs rank 1
Oh wow
I'm not
The rogue I'm replacing gave me a lot of pointers and this was the trait setup he told me to use
Also you sim 2 loyal without a single loyal with you
Though the helmet he told me to use was different
Yeah well, either he played another role
or he didn't know what he was talking about
One second
I'll go through our chat to see what I'll be doing in the fight
I asked if I should spec into echoing though and he told me not to
Oh god no
That's total troll on prog
it's a good setup if you ultimatly want to parse whore
Can we take this to DMs, by any chance?
Go for it
1 trait of SS with Subterfuge or 1 Twist the Knife with master assassin?
Sim it.
Most likely the latter.
But there's stuff that can impact that choice and make it swing either way
thought so, thanks 🙂
how close are outlaw and sin overall for mythic raiding right now?
Sin is generally considered the best progress spec
but if you're not raiding super top tier, it wont matter
cause im looking at rankings and seems like half the fights outlaw is on top and the other half sin is
outlaw has fights this tier where it fills holes/roles that sin doesn't/can't
I mean, take into account that outlaw is insanely good at "doing damage"
whether that damage is relevant or not is another thing
Sin blasts bosses, sticks to bosses, and doesn't lose as much from downtime
Aka doing mechanics
Thus being a very consistant and forgiving progress spefc
the fights outlaw is higher on theres low hp adds that they blade flurry. radiance, ashvane, zaqul. the only fight i would say outlaw is straight better at is orgozoa
im mainly asking because i want to join a mythic raiding guild and dont want to get laughed at if i try joining as outlaw (which is what im currently playing)
you wont get laughed at for playing outlaw
Loktark just killed M Azshara whilst being an outlaw main
How is that relevant tho 
cuz he very clearly doesnt get laughed at for being an outlaw main
I mean
He's also arguably one of if not the best outlaw player in the world
He wont ever get laughed at for playing outlaw
If he feels he can
Outlaw is more than fine to raid with
This tier it's actually been really good
if youre recruiting and you see two rogues similar gear/exp, youre going to pick sin over outlaw most of the time?
I would, yeah.
not at all
you pick the one who can play the other spec better
idk theres too many factors to consider when recruiting. the spec isnt as important as their play
but if on entirely equal footing, just one that's sin one that's outlaw
from a tryhard-y progress perspective, I'd pick sin

Sometimes the single digit IQ outlaw player cna also play sin
just cus u sim decent doesnt mean u can play it
i just wanted to link that rq
yeah and most rogue players dont one-trick their spec
Ehh
ehhh
You'd be surprised by the amount that do.
especially if theyre in a good progression guild

yeah
We're tlaking about sin v outlaw
I'd say most players are open to play either, a lot atleast
well, except the fotm reroll rogue players who only play outlaw to push M+ but ya know
big true
But yeah, this tier has had such a small diff compared to others this expac in how good the two specs are
Outlaw is more than fine.
thank fucking jesus
only time I ever got forced to play sin was actually right now
cuz my other rogue buddy is gone
and VOP on zaq is pretty good
same
Tomato tomato
and i hated every minute of it
the 2 other rogues got to stay sin for orgo...
I hated the fight, not outlaw
also had a question about twist the knife, neither ravenholdt nor wowhead mention it as a good trait, but seems like its widely used?
It's good yeah
a lot of the good pieces have it on it
but mainly because it's on pieces tha are great
Blackwater, Cephalohide
cuz of OP
and then a ttk there to fill in the gap
since TTK is far from a bad trait, but not BiS as a standalone trait either
well idk if I'd call LttE a BiS trait
well oK then.
The fact that it's +- a DD
in damage
Since from a sim standpoint, cepha and blackwater are +-0
But that's not even accounting for the extra damage gain if someone dies
which someone will, somtime
So by itself, it's equal to a DD, granted someone dies, it's better
Seems BiS to me
Going after gorak tuls would be the smartest thing to do right? our guild is currently on court
Yep,
Unless you want a potential gain that's gonna be null as soon as you get zaq helm
wtf Gorak Timbs is 2% ahead of 2nd bis
yeah exactly! yeah it's insane, the blightborne infusion is a fckin beast
PRay for me boiz and gals! ❤
well now idk if I wanna buy irontides or gorak
loyals? ^^ @rigid mango
Yah, BiS in some circumstances
But ye, 500 dps from ur 2nd np
NP is so underwhelming this tier it's insane

how many ppl do you need to be for it to be worth runnin ? 😮
Thx a shitloads mate, youre a fckn king, or queen!!!
❤
when should i go for the master assasin talent ? i sim higher with sub
depends on traits ma dude ^^
When you drop ss traits
it feels so wierd to vannish after vendetta runs out cause the garrote mnust run out with sub to do max dmg
Yeh, it's a bit awk
But you align your 2nd vendetta to your 2nd vanish
So that means you'll be vanishing with your vendetta after the opener
Evening everyone ^^
vanish before vendetta so it will be vanish garrote garrote rupture trinket/essence vendetta spam envenom?
after the opener
the opener is standard
wait 20 ish seconds to vanish to get another empowered garrote out
but the 2nd vendetta, you wait for it to align with your vanish
and then use them together
to get the empowered garrote ticking during your vendetta
same goes for any vendetta and vanish window past the first one
does ashvane razor coral devalue crit?
A bit, yeah
well im getting about an extra ~500 haste from gems/enchants, but do have the coral, was gonna sim with crit, but itd be costly to do just for a sim
gotcha, thanks
The diff wont be huge either way
would 3 SS 2 fan 1 TTK be better than 2/2/2 in overall performance
Probably, especially as a Nelf
More into SS means that you get screwed a little harder if your stealth gets scuffed from pug tank or whatever
2/2/2 is just good as a general base that covers everything instead of a focus
whats the highest benthic can go ilvl wise on wowhead it showed i can go up to 455
oh ok i was confused cause wowhead was showing 455
so maybe 3ss 2 fok 1 ttk is the way to go
wow just shows every item scalable to max ilvl
🤔
ahhh
i use 3ss 3fok or 3 ss 2eb most of the time
Switching between fort and tyran and dungeons
also i dunno if anyone has seen this today but on the loading screens does it go brighter then darker then back to bright? for anyone
imagine 3 ss 2 fok 1 bbi
Sin traits have always required a bit of brainpower to determine what's best for you, in your group, in whichever dungeon on a particular set of affixes
U can have that no?
That's doable yeah
Gorak + raiment + eb ss helm
Just can't have BBI w/3 EB
only problem is 3rd ring traits
atm i use blackwater pistoleers and ss eb helm
If only you could farm some currency to change traits on gear ><
ye
well the problem is you are limited by pieces
so with blackwater you dont really have a choice
i have cephalophide and gold tasseled 445
already
rolling a helmet tomorrow
hoping for an irontides or fluid machinations

Blackwater is super accessible but
I guess if you never raid on that character you'd have to gamble
if I could freely choose
Id probably use 3 ss
1 eb 1 bbi
1 incite the pack/swirling sands
with 3 op
@shut pasture if you want the "best" combination at the moment it would be 3ss/1eb/ and a mix of anything from ttk, bbi, etc
@lost horizon eventually i'll have access to mythic raid on my rogue
but why not play Outlaw at that point
3 ace/2 follies will be 
@shut pasture RIP 🐍
Did anyone lose about 300 DPS from their sims after this patch?
prolly the broken ring enchants
Would inkpod coral be better for zaqual instead of font + coral
Why does my haste say 24% (16% against current target)???
font is superior to coral in zaqul @shy dust
as u can either use it for add
or punctures
and you don't really need the execute from inkpod in zaqul imo, since when u get him to 30% ull puncture zerg him down anyway
Aight thanks for the help man
if I have Zaqul helm from heroic, spymasters and gorak tul @445, should I bother gambling at all? I was thinking maybe ceph but it doesn't seem to sim better than spymaster
roll helm and get blackwater chest, probably
are 8.2.5 parses irrelevant
i didnt read anything and just hopped on for raid
dont know if any major changes went through to invalidate them
any reason why shimmerscale vest is simming so low for me? everyone says its bis https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/cuEvpwHBRwKrWjTPaDEcaY
(yes i have loyal to the end allies marked in sim)
because you have 0 np
i wouldn't really consider equal to spymasters as 1np really low
but generally it's safe to assume that when you hit 65, you'll get a bunch of 'free' haste from iris 3rd minor
and your haste weight will drop down making mastery more valuable in general
and 8.2.5 is the same as 8.2, i don't even think wcl will have a seperate tab


that was in here one time did
