I don't think it does

#

It's bought from a vendor

#

With tokens you get from doing the invasion thingies

marble hemlock
#

Twist latent corruption into a socket

#

is the text

#

but yeah, we will see i guess

rigid mango
#

I didn't see anything special when I looked at it when people were showing on pbe

#

ptr*

rough agate
#

wheres the currency to buy it from, the visions?

rigid mango
#

It'll just take a long long while to get to it as the tokens you need are farmable through these invasions, but you need to spend tokens on upgrading stuff to be able to do the invasions better and get more tokens from them, rinse repeat until you can farm out tokens and get yourself sockets.

#

Yeah those vision thingies, anyways #wow-general I realised just now

#

Way too late.

rough agate
#

I was gonna make a joke about it and @ you but i dont wanna be banned or something

royal lantern
#

i dont think zine can ban people kekw

rough agate
#

lol yeah but the clout!

I can perma mute you smileW

what did you say again for m+ traits?

#

#

what are the best stats for assa ? bc on the site it says haste more than crit for ST but if i sim it, i need more crit

gusty mirage
#

follow your sim

#

guides are just general info, sims are based on your character

cyan loom
#

quickets way to gear up from 400 ilvl?

gusty mirage
#

M+

cyan loom
#

ive been playing too much fkln classic

gusty mirage
#

if you have a group of friends to carry you through 10s you can get close to, if not over 430 pretty quick

cyan loom
#

all my mates play classic 😦

strange python
#

how good is the leatherworking gear looking next patch?

hidden bay
#

got 450 belt with socket today, 10 dps upgrade over benthic ez

gusty mirage
#

@strange python I haven't checked the PTR in a while, but when I do I'll let you know. I do know that we'll be able to craft 470 pants & boots in 8.3

plush remnant
#

What's best essences for raid? worldvein seems to sim higher but most rogues running lucid and iris as minors

hidden bay
#

Condensed Life-Force

#

Iris + Lucid Dreams minor

plain moon
#

Worldvein is a bait

grave elk
#

ive been running keys with 2 SS and 3 tk plus 1 NP. I could swap in the rupture boosting agi trait with another ss. I still have consistently pulled 35k and up thru all my runs so far. Is this bad for m+? it is kinda sweet having good priority dmg

shut garnet
#

yeah 35k is pretty bad

#

if you're playing no EB traits you have 0 aoe dmg

#

you should play at least 1

#

and NP is also really bad in m+_

#

try aiming for 3ss 2eb 1ttk

#

or 3ss 1 eb 1ttk 1bbi

drifting cloud
#

35k is definetly not "pretty bad"

zenith gust
#

Depends on key level tbh

woeful jungle
#

ideal stat distribution for m+?

zenith gust
#

Crit mast

#

35+ crit close to 40

jaunty crystal
#

35k is way above average in any 10-15 pug tbh.

zenith gust
#

Low haste 6-10

#

@hidden bay for real? I got 455 socketed gloves and benthic still sim clearly better 😡

drifting cloud
#

its probably the azshara belt

tropic ocean
#

idk 35k overall is pretty low not sure how you come up with way above average - unless were talking logged dps

strange python
#

do i need 2 daggers for sin or can i use something else in the offhand?

meager nebula
#

need 2

strange python
#

ty

woeful jungle
#

@zenith gust how do you get enough energy with only that much haste? I'm running 15 atm and it feels like I'm often waiting a sec or two between FoKs

brave vector
#

Keeping bleeds on things

#

You become energy neutral by having at least 4 bleeds up in aoe (gaining as much as you spend)

woeful jungle
#

sorry rogue is just my alt im getting ready for 8.3 but is there another passive that grants us energy per bleed aside from the rupture refund on death one?

brave vector
#

Yes

#

Venomous wounds is a passive we have

#

Bleed ticks on poisoned targets have a chance of giving us energy back

#

Only garrote and rupture ticks tho, bleed from crimson tempest and internal bleeding don't count

woeful jungle
#

oh wow thanks. i cant believe i missed such a crucial part lol

tropic ocean
#

@brave vector afaik internal bleeding does proc venomous wounds

heavy haven
#

i see people running coral for azshara. how are you using it in the beginning? it goes away during intermission

cobalt pelican
#

use it before you get to the intermission

#

usually on some hulk you want more damage on or when the bosses are back together so you have 4 bleeds up doesn't really matter

brave vector
#

Yeah looks like it says it in the tooltip if you have it specced @tropic ocean I stand corrected

grave trail
#

got zaqul helm finallyyyyy FEELSGOODMAN

neat estuary
#

@heavy haven i use on the melee boss on pull stack up and use it for 2nd hulk

#

@heavy haven then on azshara as she spawns ofc, depending on your raid dps you can either use it early to squeeze in a bit more dps to meet the dps check or save it for 1st add p3 (around 16 stacks at that point)

umbral folio
#

I played on azshara myth with inkpod yesterday and it didnt do damage on azshara

hasty hamlet
#

how is versa good for assa rogue ?

umbral folio
#

u need few % only

hasty hamlet
#

!azerite

prisma monolithBOT
modest tendon
#

@umbral folio there isn’t a specific amount of versa you need?

umbral folio
#

Simcraft says that u need just few percents in high gear

#

Something like 4%

modest tendon
#

Where does it say that?

umbral folio
#

On stats weight

modest tendon
#

Stat weights are dogshit, top gear is god

#

You might be right in that 4% versa is optimal or whatever

#

But that’s not the point

umbral folio
#

It's always same

modest tendon
#

Top gear is god

rigid mango
#

No stat is required.

#

Saying you need vers is false.

umbral folio
#

If u have 0 verse and 440+ gear, simcraft will say u that u need more verse

modest tendon
#

If top gear wants you to wear your versa gear, wear your versa gear that’s all that matters

rigid mango
#

Yeah, so in your situation, it wants vers. Saying vers is required is wrong.

#

Vers is by no mean bad or unwanted, just never required.

#

It's the highest simming stat in the top end sims too, iirc.

modest tendon
#

@hasty hamlet update

umbral folio
#

Link ur sim

hasty hamlet
#

like you get versa from benthic arent you ?

rigid mango
#

Vers is good for both benthic and clf

hasty hamlet
#

not sure if that's 4%

#

ye i'm just running 4 benthic pieces

modest tendon
#

Just trust top gear ember

rigid mango
#

There's no "need"

#

You don't need 4%. You need what top gear says is best.

hasty hamlet
#

thank you sir gachiBASS

umbral folio
#

I didn't say you should have exactly 4%

#

I said that simcraft says that u always need few % versa in good gear

modest tendon
#

There isn’t a quota or a soft cap or whatever, it depends on the individual

#

Sure it might be right

#

But the point is you shouldn’t go out of yo it way for versa if you have another piece that sims higher that doesn’t have versa

#

Hence why top gear >stat weights

shrewd night
#

The correct answer for all gearing and stat questions is always - sim it. Anyone saying different is doing you a disservice.

#

Especially when it comes to stat caps, which has been dead for a good while.

jaunty arrow
#

Dunno but when i do top gear with gems atc and after statw is kinda balanced 🤔

modest tendon
#

Who knows, don’t stat weights change depending on the scenario though?

#

Like if you have a specific buff or something

#

Doesn’t that make them insanely complicated?

#

Or for multi target

#

Sounds like a nightmare

umbral folio
#

Sure it changes

modest tendon
#

Does stat weights account for different scenarios?

#

Oo it does actually

#

Meh

#

Top gear is always the answer

stuck knoll
#

The easy answer is

#

Why would you want to waste your time simming twice

#

When you can sim once on top gear and forget stat weights

lethal heart
#

there is very little point in simming stat weights nowadays with top gear

#

i guess stat weights can give you general idea what to go for

#

but it changes so much when you change 1 essence/1 trait (which is loyal in assa rogue case)

jaunty arrow
#

Coz we have vip acc in guild and u cant sim all at once

#

I am not saying its necessery but why not 🤔

lethal heart
#

yea sure

#

simming is so easy nowadays can run many combinations/different setups

#

lets you understand spec/essence choices more

rigid mango
#

Just usable for understanding how certain traits, essences or trinkets impact your weights

#

But for gear choice it's just inferior and misleading for a lot.

jaunty arrow
#

For gear its a rly bad idea use statw but for geming, i like to check statw after that

modest tendon
#

For what purpose?

rigid mango
#

Top gear is better for gemming any everything, really.

radiant dragon
granite rampart
#

worst in slot shoulders, no benthic, mediocre main hand weapon

rigid mango
#

Yes, elaborate planning instead of master poisoner

granite rampart
#

and that

modest tendon
#

Master poisoner is only weapon poisons right?

#

That’s why it’s meh

#

If it was all poisons it would be sick

granite rampart
#

i dont think it effects double dose damage?

#

not sure though

modest tendon
#

Only weapon poisons

radiant dragon
#

I should change talent for elaborate planning. And change weapon on main hand

#

Right?

modest tendon
#

Yes

radiant dragon
#

Okay, thx

#

What u think about my stats. Take more haste or crit?

modest tendon
#

Read the conversation from like 30 minutes ago

radiant dragon
#

Okay

#

Thx again

modest tendon
#

Np 🙂

arctic socket
heavy haven
#

@neat estuary thanks!

rotund mural
#

Using guardian of azeroth in MA window means anything? is it useful/better?

rigid mango
#

You shouldn't ever be using it in MA window

#

😄

civic palm
#

The opposite of useful/better.

rotund mural
#

ahhh thank god, ty so much xD

civic palm
#

You've got important things to stab in that time.

rigid mango
#

You use it in between your two MA windows in opener

rotund mural
#

opening with mutilate-rupture-mutilate is the best yeah?

rigid mango
#

Yep

#

Mut rup mut gar if first mut is 4cp
Mut mut rup gar mut if it isn't

neat estuary
#

if you have 2cp after the first mutilate, just call a wipe

rotund mural
#

hahahhaha so true xD

tame basin
#

Guys, do you know if in 8.3 Assa should still be top choice for raiding?

modest tendon
#

🤷

rigid mango
#

Probably.

#

🔮

marble hemlock
#

There doesn't seem to be a reason why the current meta would change.

#

Assa is easy to play, requires little focus and allows you to watch out for other stuff.

modest tendon
#

A lot of bosses look like cleave fights

arctic socket
#

Name a spec hard to play in wow 😂

modest tendon
#

So outlaw

rigid mango
#

Outlaw can have uses, yeah.

modest tendon
#

But assa isn’t getting nerfed

#

Yet

rigid mango
#

But odds are sin is still the go-to prog spec.

modest tendon
#

So it looks fine

tame basin
#

@arctic socket elemental with Icefury is quite complicated if you want to get prio list right

marble hemlock
#

Sub requires much more focus, uptime and when mismanaging your cooldowns punishes you way more for it - just an example.

tame basin
#

Ok, thanks 🙂

arctic socket
#

Just play sub for pvp I haven’t seen any rogues able to actually do 30k deeps as sub but ye if you mismanage you going to suck

tame basin
#

I thought that Assa is still top spec for pvp as well

#

or comparable to Sub in 2v2 situation

marble hemlock
#

Nah, with the WQ and mechagon trinket, sub burst potential is so huge that its way better imo

tame basin
#

what is WQ?

marble hemlock
#

worldquest

tame basin
#

which one?

scarlet sequoia
#

assa is still better for pvp yes

arctic socket
#

3s I would say sin 2s sub is very nice for setups and damage in pvp hella better than Pve

#

Sub is still viable depending on combo

tame basin
#

I was starting to climb to get 2.4k rate as Assa but maybe I should switch to sub

scarlet sequoia
#

no lol

arctic socket
#

Sub is a somewhat skill cap pvp class stay with Assassin

marble hemlock
#

i think tis the vial of storms @tame basin

scarlet sequoia
#

trunksy bro

marble hemlock
#

doesnt share a cooldown with other on-use trinkets

#

nvm

#

raz is right 😄

silk stump
#

with Font and coral for raid when do i use both? font pre pull coral when i can, after that when i use again coral or font?

hushed maple
#

Well always use font, when you can channel completely

#

For the coral, I don't know. I am wondering my self, if you use that thing on cd or max stacks

distant lava
#

1 I don't even know if coral has max stacks

#

2

#

it's written in the pins

silk stump
#

oh thanks didnt check the tc-updates channel

#

did just check the pins here

rigid mango
#

where it says go to tc updates

neat estuary
#

@distant lava not sure about max stacks but crit kinda soft caps as most stats i guess ... meaning if you use it at 25 stacks you might be around 75-80%, if you use it at 35 stacks you might end up at 80-83%

#

so it decays quite heavily

#

i usualy just line it with my CDs

#

opener with font of power and complete set of CDs, then use ashvane as it comes off the CDs from the font of power usage

#

next round of CDs you use font of power, wait a bit to line up your burst window in the 10s overlap of font of power + ashvane (with usualy around 15-20 stacks)

#

i believe that should be the correct usage, but feel free to correct me if i'm wrong

#

i could go into more detail if you have a specific bossfight in mind

rigid mango
#

Idk where you're even going with this, isn't all this a given if you read the pins?

#

Even sounds as if you're doing font coral a bit wrong.

steady owl
#

So I’m using hood of the slithering loa and gorak tul’s, right now I use swirling sands and bbi but if I use np on gorak’s I do 63 more dps which is not much. Should I use no or bbi?

#

I feel like I could be unlucky with procs with two crit traits but I could also be lucky

Guys*

#

I have a off the topic quick question

rigid mango
#

If it's off topic

#

Don't ask it here.

#

Just that

rigid mango
#

Feel free to ask that where it should be.

winter gale
#

Ok

Yes it's broken.-

#

Is vision major getting good next patch?

rigid mango
#

We'll have to see, most likely not.

crimson terrace
#

if im trying to build an azerite set mostly for M+ but with decent ST to take to raid, is TTK the strongest trait to seek? I currently have 2x SS/EB, 1x NP, 1x DD.

#

I just dont play enough to have separate sets, lol

vast forum
#

SS is your best balance trait between raid and m+

#

you just have to play with subterfuge then

#

@strange python problem with vision major is that the minor desyncs vanish from vendetta

crimson terrace
#

@vast forum so I think I'll get a 3rd SS then, was just hoping to replace my lowest ilvl azerite but its a piece with EB and SS

strange python
#

That helm is a pain in the ||ass|| to farm

keen hill
#

Is Matrix Restabilizer from the anniversary event any good for ST or M+?

brisk forge
#

[Poen's Deepsea Grips] vs [Gloves of Incomparable Beauty] 430 socket. gloves of... sims better but is itr true in real action aswell since almost everybody plays with poens?

scarlet sequoia
#

socket azshara gloves are better yes

#

but if your guilds kill timers suck dick then poens are better

#

at least when it comes to 430 ones

brisk forge
#

ah i see, we have speedy clears so should be fine then vid beauty gloves 😛

scarlet sequoia
#

well if fights last less than 2 min they wont proc at all so u do the math

#

procs every 2 min

#

so fights just under 2, 4, 6 etc theyre most likely worse than poens

vast forum
#

it doesn't reset on pull tho

#

you can probably make a WA for the timer

#

and if the fight is 2.10 you could have it proc twice

#

obviously, no1's gonna do that, but just saying what you CAN do

autumn slate
#

I need help for mythic Azshara progress. We literally just killed ZaQul and im clueless as to what essences I should use along with how I should use my CDs to make progression easier. Any hints?

arctic walrus
#

blood lucid strife

harsh sphinx
autumn slate
#

Okay, I can understand Blood and lucid, but why Strife

tropic ocean
#

100% uptime

autumn slate
#

Is there some amount of vers that makes something easier to do or is it just w/e you sim the best with

tropic ocean
#

Qa is not a st fight

arctic walrus
#

When you play blood haste loses value and strife becomes your best stat. Iris drops often in p3 because you swap a lot

tropic ocean
#

For most part

autumn slate
#

Ah

#

ok

#

Thanks guys

tropic ocean
#

Versa also reduces dmg taken

wide delta
#

whats the best ST traits

#

which one do you wanna have?

arctic walrus
#

Double dose, loyal to the end (if I have 4 members), nothing personal, blightbornes infusion

#

Bis setup is zaq helm gorak tuls and blackwater

wide delta
#

damn

#

i got cepha, gorak and hood of slithering loa

fleet whale
#

i mean that set-up isn't bad though

wide delta
#

means im running atm : 3xDD, 1xNP, 1xTK and 1xSwirling Sands

#

the thing is that i wont be able to get blackwater for a while since my guild is extending till ash is down

arctic walrus
#

Meh yeah you’re set up is fine. Just not the best

worldly yarrow
#

Coral on Ashvane : hold until shields gives decent stacks or wait for 100% crit?

#

(W Vandetta when shield down, yes?)

arctic walrus
#

You'd never "wait for 100% crit" ever

#

just use with vendetta

dapper pewter
#

If I am going alliance should I go nightelf?

arctic walrus
#

Do you want to m+ or raid

dapper pewter
#

um both

arctic walrus
#

human is better in raids, and pretty okay for m+

#

nelf is very strong in m+, but pretty bad in raid

strange python
#

does hidden blades ever get better than poison bomb?

dapper pewter
#

oh really, the extra stealth doesn't help?

#

in riad

arctic walrus
#

no it doesn't

#

hb needs big pulls to make better than pb or ct I believe

strange python
#

not in m+ then?

arctic walrus
#

something like fok has to be 20% of your overall damage to be better than either options. You have better luck consulting @marble hemlock on the matter, I am not well versed in this topic

hushed maple
#

Yo is there a way to fix input lag in WoW?

#

I feel like my input is delayed a little bit an thats annoying af

marble hemlock
#

HB will never be better than CT

#

its just easier to use

arctic walrus
#

So Seli it's only really ever a choice between ct and pb?

strange python
#

so CT and HB are garbo all the time?

#

CT seems like shitty version of Feral's aoe rip

marble hemlock
#

ct is fine if you get good use out of it

fleet whale
#

it can be good but for like 95% of assassin rogues PB is more than fine enough

cerulean kernel
#

Using BotE is it Ven>BotE>TB>Van>Env/Mut or Ven>TB>BotE>Van>Env/Mut or does it matter?

arctic walrus
#

The difference is marginal

#

I personally prefer Tb bote

#

And I would say that might be the better option

cerulean kernel
#

Gotcha-Most Logs show bote>TB but sims indicate TB>bote thought id ask

#

thnx for advice

light pebble
#

Hey guys, im newish to siming and when i sim my stat weights it tells me this. Most videos and other places i have looked at tell me to prio Agility and then either haste or crit. Now im not sure if im siming wrong or what stat weight im meant to use. Can anyone help me out?

rigid mango
#

Don't use statweights

#

Use topgear, ignore statweights. Tadaa, problem solved.

light pebble
#

So i shouldnt be using stat weight and pawn to find out if gear is an upgrade?

arctic walrus
#

yeah

#

go to top gear

light pebble
#

ok thanks

#

im also at item level 422 atm and wanted to ask if there is something like a BiS list for gear as well in retail or if its just siming the top gear?

rigid mango
#

Top gear.

arctic walrus
#

no that isn't really accurate nowadays with titanforging

#

I feel like mut/dd crit would be more than a tb

rigid mango
#

Probs

#

But diff is feelies

arctic walrus
#

I respect your opinion and hope it does you well owoLove

rigid mango
#

I just click either one first

light pebble
#

is there a way to find out what gear has certain azerite traits or is it all rng?

meager nebula
#

azerite traits are static

#

you can just check them in the dungeon journal

light pebble
#

ah ok

#

so certain gear will always have the same traits?

arctic walrus
#

correct

light pebble
#

ok ty, last question, to find out what traits are best should i just be siming or is there a list of what traits are best while doing M+ dungeons?

drifting cloud
#

you want atleast 1 ss and 1 eb

#

3 ss and 2-3 eb is among the best

#

but its hard to get that azerite

light pebble
#

ok ty

simple rivet
#

when using vendetta, should you TB inside the ven window, or pop before

#

or does it not really matter? kinda confused

dapper pewter
#

Okay should I go night elf or Human?

inland forum
#

night elf is better for m+ human is better for raid

arctic walrus
#

@simple rivet you always vendetta first

umbral lintel
#

hey guys where do i check for different assassination builds?

strange python
#

rlly dumb question, but can some1 tell me how or where i can read how i use the coral trinket correctly on raid bosses etc.?

arctic walrus
#

What builds are talking about

#

You pair coral with vendetta

#

apart from the opener

wise sun
#

Hey guys new to assassination and I’m not really comfortable multidotting, what is the proper way to do it? Tab targeting or clicking.? And is there addons that can help?

arctic walrus
#

clicking nameplates or tab targeting is fine

#

I'd say name plates are a bit more accurate

simple rivet
#

Thanks @arctic walrus

sweet inlet
#

There a way of changing the talents Hero Damage uses so i can see whats the best combination of gear with Master Assassin instead of Subterfuge?

#

or any other suggestion on where to find this info.

Which name plate addon are you using?

restive kettle
#

KUI

tropic moon
restive kettle
#

personally find it alot more nice to config and use than tidy plates

tropic moon
#

tho neatplates and platter are also good imo

#

plater if you like cusomization you can look around on wago.io for some stuff

#

so 2x145k dmg over 10 sec if you are lucky with dubble proc wonder how its gona work

Plater is love

#

So to ask my question again: is there a way to fix the damn input lag in WoW? Bothers me for a while now

hoary crown
#

Are there any good trinkets for us stabby boiz in ny’alotha? Or is it back to the old m+ chest rng?🤔

Got it fixed, felt like the game queued spells after another for me so lowering it fixed that for me

Not assassination related but also you could literally have just googled that

@reef mulch 7331 do i need plater addon for that weakaura?

arctic walrus

Whatcha need

strange python
#

Wanted to show the botcommands but if you ask so kindly i just got a 440 spyglass and thought it would sim better than my coral 445 and resonanting heart445 with socket but it does not on "dungeon slice(beta) or patchwork 😦

#

for m+

#

obviously

arctic walrus
#

Yeah so usually the spyglass would work well with the coral, however since your heart is both a higher level and comes with a socket, it will be better than a 440 base spyglass

#

Plus assuming you have x3 ss, the mastery from heart is pretty good too

strange python
#

yeah i have =/ just wanted spyglass fo so long and it warforged but it´s not enough

Yeah I have a question for Org, I am running 3 EB, Deeper Strategem, and trying to run CT. When should I finisher when spamming FoK on top?

#

My WA turns green on 5, but that pretty much means I could be wasted up to 3 CP

do you really not have add dps in your group and you desperately need AOE?

if they replace it with something better im fine with that

TB is basically just C-Smash for rogues

im happy we'eve stuck with EP at least

TB + MP would've been a bit lame

subtle tundra
#

i just want assassination to not be stealth dependant next expansion 😦

fleet whale
#

hmm it goes both ways for me

dense cedar
#

what's wrong with stealth?

fleet whale
#

on the one hand i wish vanish could go back to being pure utility

#

on the other hand, i love what subter and MA brings to the table

dense cedar
#

Vanish as a dps cooldown is big fav of mine

subtle tundra
#

unless youre in keys and can barely stealth

dense cedar
#

i only ever do keys with guild

fleet whale
#

tanks shouldn't be chain pulling that much

dense cedar
#

and they realise that chain pulling outside of Nelf/vanish is actually slower

gentle jewel
#

Who’s a good streamer or guide I can watch? I want to gather more ideas to see if I can polish up

subtle tundra
#

it feels like time wasting

dense cedar
#

like

#

if u chain pull with sin it makes the key take longer most of the time

fleet whale
#

plus your healers can't drink

subtle tundra
#

but then if you want to go as fast as possible why have sin when you can get outlaw

#

drinking shouldnt be after every pull

fleet whale
#

also even if your tank likes to pull quickly, you should still have time to re-stealth

subtle tundra
#

well this season especially i hate the restealth since you have to sometimes wait for 5+ seconds because of emissaries

Ok thank you!

Crit has diminishing returns in value, each vendetta should be an impactful burst window, coral is insanely good for that.

You can see what you hit

maybe a critter

dapper pewter

Is it supposed to target just one at a time?

It hit every single target dummy in range for hte whole duration of the proc

agree on corruption system being absolute trash @hushed maple , seasonal affix i dont really care tho, probably will be fun, i enjoyed all seasonals so far

Corruption is better than titanforging because it doesn't randomly prevent you from trading pieces you don't need just because you got a 5ilvl upgrade

seli, you ran the 3x EB meme build?

marble hemlock

mmh

vast forum

i'm just wondering

why you're against HB 😛

#

in sims, it's very close to CT when you run it with 3eb, and in reality it's usually even better (because it stacks between pulls) and has SOME st value

marble hemlock
finite vortex
#

@marble hemlock do you sim , or run with traits that you like?

#

I mean like try them yourself in dungs

marble hemlock
#

im against HB because i dont see the point of it

#

its worse on aoe than ct, its worse on st than pb

vast forum
#

was that with 3EB and was it a fortified week? 😛

marble hemlock
#

psure it was 3EB ye

#

and a forti freehold

#

although it doesnt matter

#

whether its freehold or tyrannical

#

CT scales better than HB the bigger the pull is

#

because HB affects fok, which gets scaled down in dmg on largescale aoe, meanwhile CT is a dot on each target which does not get downscaled

vast forum
#

i think the "large scale downscaling" starts on 10 targets?

marble hemlock
#

idk

#

ultimately it doesnt matter

#

keep in mind that the calc i did there

#

was with numbers that were already affected by HB

#

so in reality

#

the gain is a decent amount lower than what i calculated

turbid relic

I was wondering, also I've been playing around with the Essences, what are the best essences for M+?

arctic walrus

blood lucid/c&s

turbid relic
#

even if c&s is rank 1?

cobalt pelican
#

people generally only recommend essences assuming they're all at rank 3

#

if you have random ranks you'd probably need to l ist them

#

but it'll end up being iris/lucid/flame or something if you're a freshding

turbid relic
arctic walrus

iris lucid/pp

prisma monolithBOT

#

I'm atm farming my butt off to get blood rank 3, I'm just horrible in pvp and a sore loser too 😄 Getting 1k rating would be possible but getting rank 3 cns would be hard 😮

arctic walrus
#

you don't use strife or blood until 3

turbid relic
#

Same in raids?

#

Cause I figured, cause of the massive AoE on Orgozoa I would atleast get strife on her.

#

@arctic walrus Thanks so far! ❤️

arctic walrus
#

no

#

clf lucid/iris for 1-6

#

blood lucid/strife for last 2

assuming all rank 3, assuming you do echos (although you might need vision minor for zaq)

Hey everyone, so I have some questions with the orgo fight on mythic. Has anyone ran this fight as Assassination? I know it's supposed to be nutty as outlaw but my group has a lot of cleave already and needs more Boss damage. If so what exactly do you run essence and trait wise? Please and thank you, I'm not really happy with my dps in this fight and wanted to know what anyone else is doing.

strange python

So ive done 8/8 HC Ep, 8/8 normal EP, 10+ Mythic +10s and still only have ilv 370 wepaons... and i got 422 ilv equiped..

#

@fickle cairn you use the standard ST build and just rupture the adds

fickle cairn
#

@vast forum thanks for the response. I've seen people only rupture one add, wouldn't you want to rupture as many as you can while keeping rupture on boss up?

drifting cloud
#

well then youre not focusing on boss dmg

#

thats alot of globals dotting

vast forum
#

if you just want max boss dmg, you ignore adds

#

or you rupture 1 of them just before a TB

fickle cairn
#

Thing is I'm also on tricks duty

vast forum
#

just rupture all the adds then and then pump boss

drifting cloud
#

tricks dont make any difference lol

cobalt pelican
#

if you're not hitting the ads you're never going to give meaningful threat

#

just tell the tanks to stop being asshats

drifting cloud
#

thats just an excuse bad tanks use yeah

cobalt pelican
#

two spawn in the same spot and one spawns like opposite they shouldn't be too hard to pick up

fickle cairn
#

Well they have me tricksing the ads as they spawn in so the tanks can get them easier

#

Which sort of ruins my timing sometimes

cobalt pelican
#

and in terms of st damage i'm pretty sure it's a gain to maintain 4~ bleeds for energy income so if you have no desire to cleave both bleeds on the boss and a couple ruptures is more than sufficient, you won't really ever look pretty on the meter though

#

they really shouldn't need tricks, the only time that there's ever an issue with ads hitting other people is if a fluid person is by the ad that spawns on the right for arcing current and for some reason hits it as it's coming down

fickle cairn
#

I see, I'll try swinging it by them. I feel like it's an old strat that they are just imposing

cobalt pelican
#

but yeah generally for boss damage it's just a pure patchwerk fight where you have the luxury of extra energy income, so play your normal build and essences

#

when you say you're unhappy with damage do you mean purely to the boss relative to others?

fickle cairn
#

To the boss. I know my dps is going to be lower than the cleave but I still do as much or even a little less than some of the cleavers which doesnt seem good

cobalt pelican
#

a lot of classes gain st damage from having ads to cleave, which is generally why people prefer outlaw for the fight

fickle cairn
#

But on ashvane for example I do a lot more boss damage than everyone else

drifting cloud
#

I had 92% boss dmg breakdown this week, a whopping 45% log, but on boss dmg its a 95% pepeclown

cobalt pelican
#

spriests get more insanity, outlaw gets more wits stacks, fury gets more rage, demon hunters hit stuff by accident, etc

#

assassination just doesn't really gain that much st from having ads near if the ads aren't important

fickle cairn
#

That makes sense though, that's pretty much who's beating me

subtle tundra
#

on ashvane you get free energy from adds

#

as assa

dark crag
#

If you bleed snipe, but not sure if that is a gain

cobalt pelican
#

it's generally not, and if it is it's super minor and much easier to overreach and lose dps than it is to gain the minor amount available

vast forum
#

bleed sniping is a dps gain if it's just before TB

#

but also all the dmg to bubbles is effective dmg as it frees people earlier and allows them to dps so it's always worth dpsing the bubbles unless you have TB on the boss

Hey guys, my sims say that with Master Assassin my best major slot for the most dps is Condensed Life-Force instead of Blood of the Enemy. Anyone having a similar experience and is this normal?

for ST yes. normal.

woven summit

I see, thanks.

#

Do you usually use Blood of the Enemy as major slot when doing keys?

I reckon that's powerful for aoe with the crit increase

#

correct

woven summit

Nice, just got it rank 3 so I'll play it.

if you're at 5CP and tb comes off cooldown - is it better to envenom then toxic blade

Just a waste a cp I think.

woven summit
#

I think it's more viable to just waste the CP, use Toxic Blade and start envenoming.

cool. what about getting off another envenom in a TB window or letting rupture fall off?

harsh sphinx
#

don't let rupture fall off. ever

if you're in that situation, you already fucked up

Nope if Tb is up and rupture is at 9s you Tb and refresh as your last global/finisher

Hopefully this is ok, but I've looked through a few different guides to try to improve my DPS, which it has, but not enough. So, I was wondering if anyone is free and willing to look over some of my logs and see what else I'm doing wrong? Thanks! 🙂

rigid mango
#

Feel free to link em

noble night
rigid mango
#

First off you're running subterfuge without any shrouded suffocation traits

#

Subt -> MA

#

You wasted 19 CP with mutilate which is a metric fuckton, seemingly you're not finishing at 4+ and mutilating instead?

#

You're using lucid as your major instead of condensed life force, when it should be the other way round

#

Simple Opener Priority:
If first mut is 4cp: Mut rup mut gar
if first mut is <4cp: Mut mut rup gar mut
Finish both with CLF>Vend>Tb>Vanish.

#

Your opener should follow that logic, not what you're doing

#

You should really be using the double dose on your helm instead of undulating tides

#

You had meh uptimes on bleeds on a boss where uptime should be pretty much 100%.

#

Your TB windows are "ok", your cooldown usage is sporadic

#

You also missed I think 2 casts of TB

noble night
#

Thanks! So lots to work on then 😅
So should I then change Subt for MA? And using Mut as my first ability from stealth rather than gar? And one last dumb question CLF? 😅

rigid mango
#

CLF = Condensed life force

#

Which is the BiS major essence granted it's rank 3

#

yes, change subt for MA, and yes, follow that opening logic

#

Slight reactionary gameplay for first couple GCD's, that's about it.

noble night
#

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it 🙂 I'll work on those and see how I go in raid tonight

@rigid mango I actually have 2 ss traits, does the rotation change then?

nimble skiff
#

If I'm taking CT, do i bother using it in ST?

marble hemlock

No, never.

carmine dawn
#

is there a soft cap on crit and haste I should stop at and dump into mastery? or just max out haste and crit?

nimble skiff
#

Alright, second question, if I take PB, do I envenom after 5CP in aoe situations? Or should I just spam FoN?

drifting cloud
#

that depends on your eb traits and target count

yes

harsh sphinx

sour wraith
arctic walrus

Yes

Because your spymasters has your only np

So it adds a big weight in terms of how easily the sim will want you to switch off it

sour wraith
#

Checking with NP on gorak's

Well yeah because then you’re giving away another great trait for an NP

Gear compare with zaq helm

it's quite large annoying to have my big 'press your coral idiot' weakaura on my screen the entire fight while i watch the stacks just stay there

You never run MA in dungeons

hot urchin
#

just raids, got it

arctic walrus
#

If you want to play sin in dungeons you'll need SS traits/subterfuge

hot urchin
#

awesome, ty

candid phoenix
#

a little of an awkward question, but i always thought and played Master Assassin as in, 5 CPs ---> Vanish ---> Envenom --> Muti --> Envenom. Today i saw a rogue playing MA doing vanish/Garrote/Muti/Envenom, which seems like a big mistake to me. Am i right or am i wrong? 😄

arctic walrus
#

Ye that's pretty shit

candid phoenix
#

just as i thought. i m more of a subterfuge loyalist even for raiding, so i havent rly been playing MA that much this tier, so i was wondering if its rotation changed, but i guess that rogue was just bad 😛

#

Is it blood of thy enemy for last 2 bosses or 3?

rigid mango
#

Last 2

arctic socket
#

That’s what I thought just making sure tho

earnest token
#

is there going to be a nerf to fok next patch?

gusty mirage
#

I don't think there is

graceful mirage
#

why would there be one?

agile shore
#

Wasn’t it nerfed to the ground until the talent came up?

gusty mirage
#

I think they were fixing the tooltip for FoK if anything. I vaguely remember there being something about FoK in the PTR patch notes like a month ago

graceful mirage
#

checking atm and no rogue changes at all on patch notes

gusty mirage
#

yeah I just looked it up and didn't find anything either, it was in the same patch notes where they said they were changing crimson vial to be a distributable consumable like healthstones

graceful mirage
#

thats on live as a pvp talent tho

#

you sure you didn't see an old patch notes?

gusty mirage
#

That might've been it

rigid mango
#

If you've seen a change to fok coming next patch, it's just a tooltip change, nothing changes in actual usage.

#

This was a documented change that came with 8.2.5, for some reason it's in 8.3 too.

#

Atleast was.

gusty mirage
#

Yeah it was in the first ever set of ptr patch notes and hasn't been in any of the others. For what its worth I found a link to the wowhead page about it: https://www.wowhead.com/news=295493/first-patch-8-3-ptr-build-class-essence-changes

#

looks like they were just tooltip changes

modest tendon
#

if you have 2-3 double doses how many adds should be around you before fok does more damage than muti?

steady owl
#

Does an echoing blades build work when going into delerium realm or do the adds die to fast?

modest tendon
#

no it doesnt work because you will kill your allies

#

unless your the only melee?

#

but whats the point?

#

you get haste in deli

#

haste means nothing when you aoe

#

pointless

cobalt pelican
#

5+ for fok usually

#

the actual value varies a bit bit just using 5 as a baseline will be fine

modest tendon
#

ty

grave elk
#

when it comes to using blood of enemy, when i pull in m+ do i just spread my ruptures then blood ? just so the ticking crits?

flint compass
#

And spam fok^

grave elk
#

ok im assuming i want atleast 3 ruptures out before i bote

flint compass
#

3 garrotes + 1 or 2 rupt so you have enough energy to spam fok.

grave elk
#

makes sense

modest tendon
#

Garrote garrotte garrotte rupture bote fokx9

#

It should be that every time

flint compass
#

You just want to make sure you can use fok for every bote global

#

Yup, no finisher necessary.

modest tendon
#

It’s so rare to mongo fok nowadays

#

Pointless outside of the bote

strange python
#

Any idea if the corrupted daggers spawn stuff on the ground or put a dot on target?

#

i.e., can target be taken out of them?

hot urchin
#

hey all quick question ,returning player and doing M+ with subterfuge with SS. Was wondering what the optimal opener is?

harsh sphinx
hot urchin
#

Thank you

arctic walrus
#

oh seli rewrote the guide? pog

#

Mhyep.

#

If you notice anything that might be outdated or plain wrong, please lemme know so I can fix 😉

arctic walrus
#

You're never wrong owoLove

harsh sphinx

#

Is blackwater shimerscale vest still bis if enough people are using loyal to the end

arctic walrus
#

yes

mild obsidian
#

Why is Raidbots telling me not to use force multiplier?

polar cape
#

because the other option are probably better

strange python
#

Damn

cobalt pelican
#

force multiplier isn't like particularly standout good

#

it's fairly normal to have deadly/quick as your best

#

or in weird cases other nav enchants

#

force isn't usually far behind though and is pretty versatile for other content i guess so do whatever

robust river
#

Morning all, just to check does this opener look correct for Assa/MA?

#

Never sure when to drop Gaurdians of Azeroth thing

harsh sphinx
#

not correct

robust river
#

Ah you use gaurdian before Vendetta?

harsh sphinx
#

vanish after tb before the envenom

robust river
#

So you don't waste TB/Ven time I guess?

harsh sphinx
#

but guardian before vendetta

robust river
#

Ah yeah I usually vendetta then TB I must have fucked it that fight

#

You just use coral as soon as you have down time/it up after pre-font?

harsh sphinx
#

yes coral asap

robust river
#

kk, cheers

warm sable
#

And from stealth mutilate rapture mutilate so you use good that cp and than you garotte ...

rigid mango
#

No, that's correct if you don't get 4 cp from first mut.

low lodge
#

Is that actually the best opener? I find that holding vanish for the next envenom will get you EP with that envenom

#

So you get a bigger envenom into your MA window

rigid mango
#

What rav linked is the correct opener.

low lodge
#

But isn't it better to have EP up for the MA window?

rigid mango
#

It's the best.

#

You're losing one envenom of ep, and for that matter ep barely matters.

low lodge
#

I know it's a small difference, but would just think that on average it would be better to have EP up for MA envenom

rigid mango
#

So what would you prefer the opener be.

robust river
#

IF you used envenom then rebuilt points wouldn't you have to hold TB for even longer? And Vendetta etc.?

#

Also your raid has probably already blood lust / heroism at that point on a lot of bosses

#

I think Rav's make sense practically rather than in theory

rigid mango
#

If you want ep there you either just sacrifice uptime on cooldowns or you waste some of them

hidden bronze
#

Hey guys. I'm a newbie at rogue stuff but I wonder why you won't pick the nightstalker talent. I would assume it also raises the damage of dots aswell .. like when I cast rupture out of stealth doesn't every tick get the 50% buff?

#

Sorry of that thought is nuts at all

#

I didn't try this out actually just a thought that crossed my mind

rigid mango
#

Because it's bad

hidden bronze
#

Why.. it's a safe 50% dot buff or am.i getting it wrong

rigid mango
#

Because it does less damage than the other options

hidden bronze
#

Ahh I see...from the potential amounts of damage

rigid mango
#

It's just worse

hidden bronze
#

So master assassin beats damage wise and subterfuges comes for the silence benefits of garotee

modest tendon
#

You can just sim it, the APL should be pretty good for nightstalker, it’s not a new talent

rigid mango
#

MA beats on ST, Subt beats on cleave/m+

modest tendon
#

You will find subt and MA always win

hidden bronze
#

Alright ;) thanks for the amswerspeepoguns

low lodge
#

I'd suggest to open with CLF -> Vendetta -> TB -> Envenom -> Mutilate -> Vanish -> Envenom

#

I know that top logs aren't doing this, and that it might be worse, I just don't see why

#

This way you'd have EP up for the envenom in your MA window

#

Ofc, this opener is after you applied the dots

modest tendon
#

It might work, yoppa opens with, muti-envenom-muti- apply dots then vanish-blah blah blah

#

You can’t tell which one is best without sims

#

So unless you know how to mess around with APLs the standard one is the most optimal

low lodge
#

I don't, was just wondering and thought maybe someone knew why one was better than the other

modest tendon
#

Because the sims say so

#

That’s all there is to it

low lodge
#

Ye, but I'm curious 😄

modest tendon
#

Of course this is a science

#

The APL might be wrong

#

But sims are the closet thing to objectivity we have

rigid mango
#

because the gain is so minor that the headache of desyncing cd's is probably not worth it

low lodge
#

Ye, that's actually a good point

#

It just feels good to see a 10% higher Envenom crit in your opener

severe sedge
#

Can anyone give me some tips for queens court mythic as assa? I keep bleeds at both targets, feel like its not optimal. Is it worth running for bleeds or just when shadowstep is up?

scarlet sequoia
#

just when step is up or if theyre randomly close

modest tendon
#

Shadowstep on cd

severe sedge
#

Bleeds for orbs?

scarlet sequoia
#

ya

severe sedge
#

Or just if they are close?

scarlet sequoia
#

just the close one(s)

#

dont bother running around

severe sedge
#

Så step in cd, stay on that targets refresh bleeds again as step comes up and go on other one?

scarlet sequoia
#

eh its like hard to explain cus u dont rly wanna do it with step on cd either

#

it would be easier to just give u a stream and u check the vod

severe sedge
#

Sure! Would be nice

scarlet sequoia
#

check nukkz2292

severe sedge
#

Ill check

hushed maple
#

What traits do the best rogues use actually?

scarlet sequoia
#

2 dd 1 np 1 ttk 1 loyal 1 bbi

hushed maple
#

willow sundial
#

Za'qul helmet, Gorak tuls and behemoth chest

hushed maple
#

#

fckn Gorak Tul man

willow sundial
#

I gambled 11 times

#

before I got them

#

so dont gamble

hushed maple
#

specific Items are so stupidly expensive

#

well Za'qul helmet seems to be pointless to farm for

#

NP and DD are on alot of items

willow sundial
#

that is true

#

but overwhelming power

hushed maple
#

yeah...

#

damn I cant wait for Shadowlands

#

byebye azerite

#

I am currently running 3x DD and 3x NP
