its my highest major with just one additional ally
@dull root yep, equip infinite stars, profit
is raidbot sim a bit outdated or herodamage is wrong with azerite trait from the raid? my droptimiser pref a 2nd NP than a 1st raid trait 
looks weird to me
how trustworthy are the sims for WVR? i'm only at rank 2, and it appears to be simming way higher than CLF https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8hkHXJ1o6zNcLFG7L53yQe
if i have 2 of the same rank 1 corruptions how does that affect? tried googling but couldnt find anything
Guys, where I can find top chart of corruptions for assa? Can't see in guide
Is it best to stack double dose or a variation of the others?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nCxvuh5qANkYK9t19Vhs1W needs more stars how do I do the dps
yeah was talking about the guy that linked the sim

@distant lava yeah
460 piece of trash, I only play m+ and this is like I didn't even do the warfront... 430 ss+eb still better imo
been swapping between ss/eb and st variations
raid

Which 2 mecha rings are we after? Is it Loop of Division and Overclocking bit band?
Backstab haste
Thank you!
so WV actually worth ?
yeah
we will see soon enough what people actually use, wv sims good but..
maybe on some boss
having to rely on not moving doesn't seem worth few hundred dps
if im using worldvein, where do i pop it? is it after i use vendetta?
ive just been using it the same way we used clf on opener
alright
Still curious 'bout botE on ST.
What about it
anything special you def want to extra coin this evening?
2 last bosses
if im using font coral, i pre font then go in, apply coral then when do i take the coral buff? on 2nd vendetta?
that is in the pin
aight
yea use for each vend
yeh^
- Use font 4s precombat and after that pretty much on cooldown as long as Vendetta has less than 20s on its cooldown.
- Then, with in-fight Font, the idea is to hold Vendetta(+Vanish) a bit to make it also profit from Coral. It's a gain to hold it until Coral is ready (hence the 20s condition above) but...
- If a Toxic Blade is coming up before Coral (which is the case in default fight timings) it's better to Vendetta right before TB and then use Coral ASAP.
- Summary of example timings: 4s precombat Font, Coral ASAP to start stacking.... Font when ready again at 1:56, Vendetta before next TB around 2:10, Coral into it at 2:16.
@ornate meteor
Can someone tell me how many heroic bosses I need to kill to craft 465 item(s?) is it per item or once? As - how many do I need, how many does each boss drop. Thx in advance
do you mean 470 items or?
heroic bosses drop 10 each and it works like it did in 8.2
good point, is there any quest i have to accept to craft like in 8.2 ?
Erm okay and how many do I need? Since limit boys already crafted 470 yesterday (after killing just a few bosses)
Looked like I only needed 20
#wow-general btw
20 is for 455
thank you, what the name from the item that start the quest?
guide is on wowhead go read it there
and yeah it is smarter to ask general wow questions in well... wow-general 😛
okay ty now b2t
crimson tempest gonna be viable anytime soon?
it's already viable
@knotty pond it's used in the majority of m+ wdym?
for raid also?
Hey , witch boss u want to coin for ur first run ?
never for raid fam @knotty pond
carapace is the one to coin most due to weapons i believe
anyone know a WA that shows what gearset I've got equiped from my equipment manager? Last night I had on my trash gear set for 2 bosses and didn't notice till after pull....a WA would really help me make sure that doesn't happen again
Should i use worldvein resonance if only i use it?
Sim it (:
I can recommend to practice and run the content you want to run to increase your comfort with the content and the rotation. Watching twitch aint going to do much for your personal skill.
Out of curiosity why are people saying to bonus roll on last boss? the azerite seems pretty ordinary
better ilvl would be my thought
the jar people mention here, is it the jar that you loot in tos or in nyalotha?
What bosses you guys bonus rolling?
Carapace, Carapace has the best dagger
after that, im waiting for mythic/late heroic
who knows, outside of lucky corruptions otherwise, its pretty much a solid ST upgrade no matter what
right
So Memory sims well but I never see anyone in here talk about actually using it. Do yall have issues with it in practice?
I don't have any gushwounds or infinite stars yet anyway
i never use memory as major, but its a lock for minor
yep i always use it as a minor. Atm i am simming best with wv major, lucid + iris minor. Did not unlock slot 4 yet
Did I get really lucky?
not really
rip
Only 430
Last night our guild killed first 4 bosses on heroic, one thing ive noticed this is not a parse raid nor is it a heavy dps raid. Many of the bosses have a lot of breaks or small intermissions
Its almost same as benthic boots right ?
its slightly lower actually, but the socket might just barely save it
would you use this for m+...?
Sim the pins bro
devestation is pretty good
Wish I was druid tank and dropped this..
r3 did like 9% ~ of my dps in m+
Fr? Thats alot of procs
you guys using bote or clf as major? as far as I understand it, bote = better burst / clf = better sustained (overall dps).

yeh i did, question was more regarding which one is better for the new raid
Is the mechagon ring combo any good for Assassination ?
Afaik, mecha rings are bis for all dps. But, i havent actually bothered to look into it more yet so this is just feelycraft atm for me
I'm pretty sure they are unless some dope corruption is there instead.
you can get corrupted mechagon rings so yeah they're bis
unless there's a spec that absolutely hates haste/mastery I guess
Hey guys outlaw here stepping in to get some raid help, what’s the Azerite setup for assa st/raid? The pins won’t show up for me
!azerite
Assassination Azerite overview: https://bit.ly/2U86I7o
Damn I probably should’ve typed that first, carry on 😏
what do you guys think the best raid trinks are for sin
font coral
does the raibots APL line up Wraps of Electrostatic Potential with toxic blade?
how do i use bote with 3x SS but 0 echoing blades? still just spam fok in it?
with 0 eb you'd probably spend on envenoms into your toxic blade target unless there are a ton of mobs
yeah thats what ive been doing, ty!
just a general question when playing with subterfuge why is hast not as important to keep high? Is it because your relying more on the bleeds to multidot them so you generally want more mastery and crit?
When running MA do you just mutilate from stealth on bosses?
is there any reason some people run with one twist the knife? i could run with x3dose or x2dose 1xtwist sims tells me x3 dose, but im kinda confused tbh.
@minor thicket you have infinite energy with 4 dots up and fan of knives is a 1 sec gcd regardless of haste afaik, rendering haste essentially useless on aoe
cool thanks just wanted confirmation
@quasi scroll yeah, mut->rupt->mut if the first mut crits and you end up at 4 CP, mut->mut->rupt otherwise
maybe the most asked question, but we re goin worldvein major right? at least for hc
what major essence we using in 8.3 nwo?
any word on what stats people are rolling for on crafted items?
Is SS over DD this tier in terms of traits?
think i might just stick with the classic crit/haste for crafts, even tho mastery seems to be simming a little higher, think crit/haste more reliable long term
I lurk but thank you all for the tips and tricks! Very helpful

Working out that shit as we speak.
thanks @strange python
curious how sims work
Do they datamine stuff like proc rate etc?
and assume "perfect" playstyle etc?
There's numbers to everything that anyone can see
There's an APL that has a rotation that is quote on quote "perfect"
That plays out a standard 5 min fight as well as possible
so e.g. application rate for stacks of inkpod is all just known?
Correct.
nice
Effects have PPM's, proc per minute, that is fixed
Unless it's "hasted" i.e haste makes it proc more often
ah, I had wondered about that
so should we follow the sims or hold off and keep haste/crit gear
Always follow sims.
even if it sims mast higher than haste?
Why would that be wrong?
All stats are +- same for sin fam
Just about what you're wearing and how much of each that impacts the value of them
So say you have fuckall mastery it'll want mastery
But rn there's funky stuff going on, correct I bet, but I can't find the soul reason for the spike in certain values like I could last patch
Which is what I'm working on rn.
As per usual I'll be sharing the info when I know more 😄
I see
how high is fallen stars simming? I dont have a piece to sim but just wondering theory wise is a 410 fallen stars better than say, a pair of pants with perfect stats and a socket at 445
what does "fam" mean pls?
it means sim yourself
It's slang, essentially "dude"
fam = family
Zine sees you as family.
Erryone.
So we should disregard the stat pyramid on bloodmallet?
Always sim yourself > using bloodmallet/herodamage
You don't have the same exact gear as those sims do
Is standard patchwork fine for assa raid these days?
Still trying to learn my perfect azerite options
Yus
zine do you know if the APL lines the mechagon bracers with toxic blade?
5 min patchwerk is standard
I don't think so(?), because it generally doesn't matter
They're not good enough
Such a small diff it wont matter
even at a high ilvl? they simmed similar to my 445 socket bracers at base 445
Thanks
but idk if that's with using them with toxic blade every time or not
Ah it's those ones
anyone know a good video guide for assa? Similar to drats outlaw 6 part guide a few months ago
TB is whitelisted so wont work there
sims telling me not to use 460 eng helm and 460 nwrathion trinket :/ confusing
Generally all rogue abilities that you'd think affect everything, like vend/tb/ma only affect rogue specifics @strange python
Wrathion trinket sucks and engi helm might not be good enough dependant on what you lose
Ah fair enough, odd that's it's specified as a nature damage proc but I guess it's just for flavor
sad then 😦 thought i was lucky with the trinkerino
Yeah but it wont matter
For example inkpod is nature damage but wont get amped up by vend/tb
yeah true
Anyone been trying WV major?
Works if the fight allows you to.
wtb a class that actually has good and bad stats so i can confidently craft 🙂 giving me anxiety
I use it. Feels good on certain fight.
I don't think it's worth to use on prog in general.
I would just stick with CLF for now unless you care enough to swap between each fight even on normal/hc
the fights it's unquestionably good on will generally just fall over anyway
There's more potential loss with WV than there is with CLF in general, and during hectic prog it's simpler to play CLF/Blood than manage WV in the middle of fights, imo.
From what I did last night there are def fights where it feels awful
Felt really bad on Inquisitor
Ancient bulwark sims so high? But is not on any items recommended in !azerite, Is it not attainable or something?
I see thank you, was very confusing seeing double dose halfway down the list of recommended azerites... and then so saught after when getting to the actual gear section
Anyone know when to font/coral on Skitra? I tried after the illusion dies but getting the debuff feels really bad
Hey guys, got some questions about pooling. 1) I assume I should try to be at 100% energy for TB windows?
- I assume I should also pool to 100% energy for Vendetta?
You never want to overcap energy
But you want to be in the 70% ish area normally if possible to be comfy for TB
Vandetta gives energy, really bad to be at 100%
So going into Vendetta at 0 energy (really hard because I use Font right before) is optimal?
Guess I'll try to font earlier.
You can use font up to 14 sec before
(which is optimal if you've paired it with coral, which is also bis currently and might end bis even after the raid)
font+coral gameplay feels so bad on progress, really hate how bad the new melee trinkets are
essences for neck 75 in m+? 😛
do we always wait for CLF to use with vendetta?
Bote + lucid vop strife
@vocal ginkgo yes wait with it if you wont lose a cast, if you don't know just use it
vop = vision? for assassin?
Yes.
i mean if the boss wont die within the wait time we always use it right? thats kinda what i meant
If it'll die before you get another cast of CLF but after your next vendetta, you save it for that vendetta
It's not a huge dps increase anyways.
ok sounds good thx 
font coral
what ?

font and coral
are the trinkets from waling city so bad ?
I don't see what's wrong
?
@drifting nimbus yes, and the old ones are stupid broken 😄
in the sin guide, the rotation doesnt mention when to use essence
blood of enemy i mean
That'd be in the pins I made 😄
so i use blood of enemy after envenoms from vanish
of use blood after vanish and then envenoms
use blood right before vanishing
its confusing
Huh
The more mastery I get, the higher more mastery Sims for me. Mastery is now my highest stat and I'm still simming mastery ring enchants
ahhhhhhh icicicicic
And yuh, mastery litty atm dunno why really.
oh hehe humble i see
quick/deadly navigation for wep enchants?
vop now best eccence in minor ?
oh ok
You can't shadowstep to the racing flags anymore right?
Correct.
F
multi DD is good right?
Yus.
I too am an e-janitor
im just a janitor heheh
just tryna think through coins right now
heroic: dagger / last two boss azerite
and then have the rest saved for mythic?
I'll just be saving all mine for mythic apart from 2 on last 2 hc
okay, so the main difference between what I proposed and what you doin is just one less roll
Yuh, bec the HC dagger from carapace is also 10 ilvls higher even if you get two you just get rid of the corr on one/both and you have 2 high ilvl daggers
Also I'll be boosting the raid a fuckton this week so I'll have more chances to bonus roll carapace if I feel it's needed
!azerite

yeah last two bosses just have really good gear on avg
Guys i trying to figure out what talents to use for m+ and im stuck between PB and crimson, can someone give me some pros and cons?
PB in kr/siege/tyr tos CT for the rest
why is that ?
Siege has like
theres only 1-2 big mobs and 200k hp mobs per pack
hmm
I have a pretty stupid question... Should i ever hold tb or how do i even use tb IDK pls help me be better
It does also have last boss that's horrid
do i only try to keep the CT bleed up or do i spam it as a finisher?
if i dont plan on running super high keys and i want to stick to one talent and dont switch it up all the time would you recommend me CT or PB? cause i kinda like the CT playstyle but i dont want it to be a huge dmg loss for lower (+1-10) dungeons
pb is always good
no brainer
on lower keys u are probably better off using 3 eb and spam fok over ct
if mobs dont live the duraiton
duration*
Just use it? dont think about it. I heard something about spamming envenoms or something of that nature
xd
okay thanks 🙂
it depends on what u wanna do
if u want overaell in packs u spam fok
if u want to kill some hard mob
u spam envenom into it
with fok as builder
Is it best to spec for AoE on Vexiona (EB and SS/SoB) or go full single target with DD
Full ST probs.
Ok, that's what I was seeing in logs. Would it be worth going ST talents and traits but taking Focusing iris
lmao works for me
you could be a zombie braindead and still do good dps

so what you're really saying is that I should go combat for that fight
Combat?
If you really lack the aoe

There's no need for it probs.
Sin slams the boss and unless you're really strugglign w adds no reason to swap
Got my 3rd corrupted item with stocket, 430 belt that give like 12% crit damage
and I currently have 430 infinite star
I slapped our outlaw rogue one vex with just fok and rupture spread on a few adds and slamming boss
🤔
what weak auras you using zine
Question on Maut, Phase 2, should cloak protect me from the reflect damage? Since i believe it registers it as magic reflect dmg.

Because he's in the discord and I can annoy him about help 
Yes it should protect you
I suggest Luxthos
@quiet parrot listed as arcane damage so i would assume so
It does protect you..just be careful when cloak falls off
of those 5 wa's linked, which ones the simplest
Idk
@civic palm look at this dude saying ur stuff's lame
Nah for real idk, personal pref man try them out or search on wagio
Someone who took the time to create and share a complex WA is lame?
its not beginner/noob friendly
A noob wouldn't require any wa's
I was doing terrible dps on N'zoth fight and now i wanna cry
Well not complex ones which rearrange your ui
I find Mize to be the simplest as it can get
Someone gett8ng the hang of something isn't going to be learning min-maxing on their first day
Gotta crawl before you walk
WA's aren't necessarily for that though, are they?
Apparently that guy thinks so
aany tips on performing better on fights like N'zoth on assa?
They're for highlighting things in a nice fashion so you can have less visual clutter, no?
Personal pref, nothing to keep talking about tbh.
I'm not arguing with you lol. He said they weren't noob friendly
ill shut up
tbh i find all classes difficult, not trolling, ive failed so many trials in a row, i cant remember
maybe raiding isnt for me
And if you want WA's get whatever you want man, this is some gatekeeping about WA shit that I've never seen before 
I'm a sex symbol.
yes hes a qtpie
hehe
I wasn't gate keeping
Do we know which 4 essences to use for ST yet?
Jesus
Honestly whatever sims best.
ST means what
Are there any good bar style WAs for sin dots? I'm not good at gauging numbers on icons
So sims are up to date?
Does... the types of corruption stack past Tier 3? For example I have boots with tendrils Tier 3 and the raid dagger Tier 2 tentacles.
WV is situational, blood/CLF diff isn't big enough
If I haven't played death knight before, how am I meant to understand an entire WA suite?
Single target @pliant apex
I'll be using blood + lucid iris conflict for our hc clear
Just hit 75 yesterday, I'll sim top gear
I'll be mucking about with sims until mythic to see what I genuinly think is "the best"
Those are what I'm using atm
It also does come down to fights a lot.
I would like blood mallet to update trinkets
@strange python There's 3 tiers 1-3, nothing higher.
Just sim yourself with droptimizer or gear compare my mans
better than looking at bm/hd
Got it, thx
Ok yeah I was confused because... man it hits hard lol but the risk for stacking a T3 and a T2 is not worth
Much appreciated Zine. Yeah I run sims nonstop. I semi dislike bm/hd XD
Yeh, they're good but also not as good as personal sims 😄
Damn RIP subtlety rogues
100% agree haha
34 heroic parses
Sub will rise again "hopefully" after their SL rework

I hope so. It's a lot of fun
Sad Zul crushed it
sub dead let it be dead all rise sin
Zul didnt crush it, zul was just the last stomp
I'm doing the last 2 and saving 5 for mythic
+1
Thought about doing carapace twice but idk if I want to pug a clear
Who’s been luck with streaking starts? I’m jealous
I would say sim pieces you think are worth it, but I might get labelled a gate keeper so
Is the opener with BotE still the same with Subterfuge? the pin says MA but it sims better for me with Subterfuge
You use it at the same place yeah vend > tb > bote > env
thnx ❤️

is 39 corruption and below what i want to stay at ?
oh sorry whoops
@wet zealot probs
If you can manage being over 39 then there's no issue, but being under 40 is just easier.
I am a sad assassin

i can't seem to dps anymore 😦

You've typed it out 3x now
boon/coral
You're first time nzoth and it's a bad fight for overall, a lot of movement and you're not used to it

a lot of movement for wv/boon
Best part of nzoth is the no stealth opener
Hopefull that just changes for mythic honestly.
with the state of the trinkets, is it still worth going back and doing ashvane?
for razor coral
For sure.
Stealth bugged but really good if you're running in a group and don't care about stealth
oh wow that can fuck u up badly
For solo runs aye
I have 5 flasks for vision in my bag so I'll wait for a hotfix
For sure better than outlaw in general though, if the stealth wasn't bugged it'd beat it by miles.
Well you can swap pieces as you want
So for example for a person like me with stacked traits
I swap from 3 eb and mongo aoe to 3 ss 2 np 1 ttk between trash and the boss
well I only have sin pieces. I just only got the bis pieces from nyalotha nothing else
You have guaranteed leech, better aoe and better boss damage
I see
yeah ss seems really good in visions
rogue feels so fun after playing sp last tier lol
Anyone have macro from Blind on Thing From Beyond when spawned?
in theory /target Thing From Beyon /cast Blind /targetlasttarget should work
Dont work
I was simming ~
new essences any good for sin?
Sim them and see (:
haha yeah nice one!
I was simming around 39-40k this morning, then azerite power weights told me to change everything, now i'm only simming 37.7k.. I'm so lost with this new patch it's not even funny. So no more nothing personal or shrouded suff? Just double dose and the new corrupted things? Has any guide been fully updated for the new raid? I've got a lot to catch up on apparently cause my stuffs all messed up..
talents change too
try Master Assassin
and rotation changes as well
but SS is still good for M+
You're picking master assassin over subterfuge?
Generally the meta choice, yes.
I changed that and it did go up a hair but still not as close to 40k as I was. :/.
What's the rotation?
You use your vanish a bit diff
and your opener is diff
Should all be in the pins/guide
when I use CDs on Vexiona (vendetta,vanish, GoA, TB) should I only focus the boss or should I also try to spread poisons on mobs?
I am actually talking overall about situation where I have a boss and adds near it
going on the adds when boss is up feels like a waste, if you have dh,fdk,arms. .
I'm basically just tunneling every boss right now. There are so many other classes that can handle all the other stuff. Just tunnel boss and fok for combo points when you can
how should i go about carapace and nzoth as assassination
debating just being outlaw for these 2
question ....if it an legit build to play 3x NP with 3x DD and VOP essence ???
does anyone have a good way to farm marks of honor for BotE?
alright thx
yeah, jeez dude. I thought I was hot shit at 60k
I only hit 51k, recently started gearing for sin
I mean you do realise it's just corruption
you sick bastard
is the trait from goraks worth more than a NP?
some tips to farm shred of insanity ?
@safe marsh try #wow-general
@rigid mango Thx and sry ^^
👍
was fun with 45 corruption, so many slows and guys damaging me lol, but the dps gain from that corrupt (r2) isn't that high..
without echoing blades and 3x SS does my stat prio change? like less value on crit and more on mastery or something?
While watching Seli, he used to play 3x ss and ttk-blightborne-np but didn't change his gear, still crit highest, so I guess nah..? Idk tho
So this one isn't worth using? It even has versa-haste stats ><
Infinite stars is still best ST. Maybe not most efficient, but highest DPS
@outer lotus You just want both honestly
I'm playing m+ only, are infinite stars best there as well?
I wish I got that crit damage increase..
what the heck blizzard, nice one
yeah
I went from being 2nd-7th on meters in EP to being 1st-3rd on all fights
Ive heard Echoing Void is best for M+ though
zine will probably chime in if I'm wrong though
M+ is harder to sim accurately
what's the best time to use CF ?
Actually devastation is the best, based on bloodmallet hectic add cleave, but 5% from r2 is not much imo
that stars wtf
best as in most efficient DPS/Cor? or best in straight DPS
r3 echo does like 14% st
efficeient
I got one shorted because infinite stars damage proc the reflective shield from maut
Shoted
Does anyone know how the mind flay corruption works? Some fights its doign 10% of my dmg
Soem its like 4%
is it literally a crap shoot
Rng
Did unbridled fury potion get nerfed, or did focused resolve get better for us? Been a while since i simmed potions and focused resolve is now a 600 dps gain for me over unbridled fury
It's simming higher for some people apparently.
It's whatever sims best mate, mastery is currently my best stat because logic
🙄 nvm forget i asked
Will do
Zine talking shit as always 😡
Are they equal in both st and mt?
multi target as in what setting? trash in a raid? m+?
typically for trash & m+ haste loses a lot of value because mobs don't live as long so you don't get full benefit from the haste
CLF for the most part still feels better for dmg, worldvein is nice and all...lol
are you kidding? WV when you can sit and burst feels so amazing. I'm getting up to 160k DPS bursts with lust
and WV lines up with Vend/TB/Vanish window
and also TB on it's 1 min window
plus if you have at least 3-4 people running it, it has a stupid good uptime (almost 100% if I recall correctly?)
even on Xenash or whatever the azshara fight is, I had like 85% uptime. 100% during the burst phases when im pumping the most DPS
yeah new WV is stupid good, CLF since nerf is kinda meh
95% uptiem of 4 stacks or 95% just general buff uptime
hmm, lemme check
xanesh in a messy group seems like it wouldn't be anywhere close to 95% 4stack uptime
dunno how to filter
and thats not a kill
but closest pull to it
so yeah dropped a few stacks during 2nd burst window, but third burst window was pretty good
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/16TMQJtKP8p3VAmL#fight=24&type=auras&source=18&ability=295137 this was me on xan last night with a handful of users
xan isn't a crazy amount of movement though, its more like move to spot, stand there for 30 seconds
rinse repeat
@Tom-DBD#2535
thats pretty good! you mustve had more people with WV
16 people
sim says i should put my corrupted wep (infinite stars) to my off-hand instead of main-hand, is this valid?
is the ilvl lower than your mh
then it shouldnt matter
probs doesn't matter
hey, when u got at least 1 infinite star haste becomes like super huge right?
anyone else having issues with loyal to the end, had 4 people in my raid also using didnt feel like it was workiing even when people died didnt get a buff
there's a 15(?) yard range on the death buff
might be 20 i don't even remember anymore, but it's not raid wide
the regular trait itself doesn't have a buff ever
ah okay thanks !

any logical reason why the other rogue in my raid chose to run VOP minor today? assuming he has the basic essences even crucible or breath will be better right?
Lots of NP and no other options?
1 np trait which he got from maut helmet, didnt run NP at all throughout TEP
and yeah i'd sim him but he logged out in outlaw spec
No, it's bad
Unless you need it for specific timers, like zaq with echoes for example.

Does 1 SS can switch the stat weight? my mastery became 1st which is a mess to organize.
It'll switch weights yeah, but use top gear 😄
Well I dropped the darkshore 460 shoulders, with the versa second ring azerite trait, I wanted to try since herodamage says it's one of the strongest
Ask #wow-general (:
do you know if the formless void minor stacks
it will only refresh
eh, I guess it would be way too strong if it stacked
what essences are you guys running for m+ this week
suggestions for CD usaging on Drest'gath?
bote + lucid strife pp/vop
Idk depends a bit on timers rn, shit seems to be going so fast or so slow dependant on guilds
Will probably be more clear on mythic
im running outlaw for m+ 
jesus
mind flay corruption is so rng
literally some logs with 30% uptime and some with like 8%
can swing from like 4% of your damage to like 20%
proc rate doesnt even seem consistent
@dense axle when you spoke of WV and 160k did you mean as major or minor
but you can't play hidden blades as outlaw?
still font and coral for raids?
Legitimately 2 posts before yours
is 3 echo blades all that is needed ofr assaination M+?
And SS
fudge none of my peices have echo + SS its either or
2 echoing + SS still good or should i stick to outlaw just wanna spice it up abit
2 of each is fine if you're just farming gear
Am new to Sim - where to I go to get help interpreting the stats weights?
i really just dont wanna lose to the DH
so 3 EB and 3 SS is the mythic + goal? hows the boss damage ?
@sly rampart ignore stat weights and use top gear instead (:
@rigid mango Thank you
@sly rampart type /sim c copy the code and post it in stat weights and copy and paste the code on there to pawn
No because that's bad
And gives bad info that's outdated as soon as u replace one item
And doesn't take into account stats lost when you replace an item properly
And is alround a shit tool for optimisation but useful for understanding the reasoning behind shifts in power
So please avoid using them especially if you're new to the spec (:
thats what i did and im doing just fine
Good for you bud
But you wont be optimal, atleast not forever
They even say that it's a flawed system straight up when you get your weights from raidbots
So please, don't try to say it's fine to use it when it's worse.
I tried telling you earlier in simple terms but some people are too good for simming their own stuff I suppose.
You would also be "doing just fine" if you just equipeed highest ilvl
No one told u to.
But if you feel like stat weights and pawn work for you, you do you fam. Just don't adv for it here thanks.
I'm aware that this is probably answered by "play better" but im noticing in keys that my single target is fairly anemic. I'm returning from a ~5 month hiatus, so im sure my rotation is less than optimal but i was hoping someone could take a look at my sims and tell me if im just completely geared wrong for keys?
Like a champ im still in queue for said sim; give me a minute and i will link sorry :^(
i dont see this in the pins but for SS you only use it twice for single target not three times yes?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2AngCagviN1thxdVX9Rfeb as above sorry 4 spam; ty in advanced
thank you
so yes your st will probably be lacking until you can pick up 3 ss
You can respec your helm to SS > TTK
also your essences are very aoe oriented
if you have it, pick up blood major, and throw on strife or vision minors instead of pp
my BoE is 1
similar story with strife
So im hearing its time to PvP
Has the TTK hype died? when i left people wer talking about how it was useful in the priority damage it provided
Strife doesnt take much to get, and if you really dont want to pvp then VoP is just as good for m+
VoP minor?
Yeah
its not that i dont want to i just dont know how lol
You only need 1600
And you dont degrade until like 1500 so it shouldnt be too bad, hell you only need 1000 really, itll just take longer
i think itopped out in 2s around there back in season 1
Either way thanks for the tip! are there any other interesting Azerite traits besides SS and eB?
Ss, eb, ttk are really what youre looking for in m+
bbi or np are fine since theres only 1 piece per slot that has ss/eb outside of pvp ones
Stuff like swirling sands or bbi are good, and some people run NP
i imagine NP is better w/ VoP minor yeah?
what enchants and gems should i use?
top gear
soB? not Temple?
whats top gear
Whatever sims the highest via Top Gear
Do you worldvein in the same spot as CLF in the opener
Yes
This was wrathion with CLF, i plan on WV for the rest of the week/tier
Also, holy shit what is the PPM on appendage?!?!?1
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wtJfkcBZqWpPLKQm#fight=6&type=damage-done&source=17
you guys meleeing mc's on il'gnoth?
nope
is void tisted trinket form raden really as weak as sims are saying?
What is the preferred max corruption cap for sin?
Is there a 'in Ny'alotha' option for sims? Or is it by default.
what exactly happens "in nyalotha" that would warrant the option?
@next solar I found that sometimes ppm on tentacles is horrible, like 8% uptime, and other times it's like 30% and is all of your damage. Seems uh, slightly inconsistent
What corruption procs should I aim for on terms of Nya'lotha encounters?
the corruption that gives you....most dmg?
aka stars/echoing void/twisted appendage cus that stuff right now is more or less on the "how did that leave the ptr" level
twisted appendage seems really inconsistent
like it can vary by magnitudes of 3-4 times
seems really bad for progression
unless you always get lucky
i got the 2 trinket set today in heroic
it has a 27% uptime on both
i did not look at logs yet for the buff on other people
i just used them messing around in normal but ill try it when we do nzoth's insides tomorrow
I need help with my toon. All these new azerite pieces are simming higher for me with shrouded suff as opposed literally anything else- including double dose and nothing personal. Im simming for single target (raid). Also Master assassin always sim's lower than subterfuge even without all the shrouded suff traits
from what i understand i need to target double dose and nothing personal or even twist the knife but everytime i sim those traits, shrouded suff sims higher

so I understand worldvein
but why is lucid so high
ive never been able to come up with a gear set, personally, where it ever does that well especially relative to like blood and clf even post nerf
is it because the profile is using stars?
because like 2/3 of lucid's power comes from its minor
Why do I sim so low? I've seen similar geared Sims here with 10k dps more, I can swap to 3rd DD on shoulders and master assasin but it gives me like only 1k more
you dont have font
fml when i can't restore my 440
right now if they dont buff the raid trinkets OR nerf font, you gonna use font for a loooooooooooooooong time
Is there somewhere i can go for log analysis?
At my first look
Your azerite is fucking trash
Your opener is a mess too
I really cant be bothered to look at this on mobile but I highly suggest you read the guide and ask questions from there
Just at a simple glance you're doing basically everything wrong
I thought i was following the guide but ill read over it again, thank you
Now I got 430 infinite star belt and 430 echoing void boots.
Bote clf lucid strife iris vop pp
my secondaries all sim relatively equal, is heart of darkness worth it over a 2nd SS?
Probably, but sim should tell you
Does Corruption gear that has the same type stack?
So 2 items with void ritual just makes the buff bigger?
Just more stats I'd assume yeah
simmed it, -1.3k dps lol
You sure you got 25+ corr though?
you dont have 25 corr then probably
plus what? should be fine
so does increasing corruption increase the base effect of the item? ie, mind flay for 2k, now mind flay for 3k because you added more corruption
How comes my 430 socket font sims lower than 440 kr trinket? Can someone explain since font seems like bis for every rogue lol
link the sim
Cant right now im at work will do l8r
Was just wondering since everyone is talking about how good font is
Ah i dont have coral
even tho should still easily clap a kr on use
sure, but should still atleast be ahead of that 😛
even if not by alot, so probably also other factors in play here
They're like, a lot closer than a lot of people think
hey @rigid mango do you know if corruption increases as you add more? I had mind flay leggings, but the damage changes everytime I change gear 
maybe font just scales that good with ilvl I guess
meanwhile kr trinket gains mostly agi, the on use doesnt increase by that much iirc?
I will link a sim later for sure, rly trying to get some deep understanding
Dunno man. Everything with this patch is kinda jank.
ye for sure, it is also extremely janky
Vers also scales better in general
the act of using mindflay r3
well i dont use font dont @ me
i dont enjoy math, and good things, and two use trinkets
I like damage so
so I really should try to get font and Coral on a new char?
herodamage has plummage above fonte
Hard to evaluate the value of a trinket when it's essentially tied to another
@covert basalt , in my situation, the 445 Mythic Font is a 2,3% DPS increase (against Harlans loaded Dice 450)
but it sims better than the 445 Galecallers
Only 3 slots but 58k dps. My 0 corruption gear but 4 slots is 54k
But galecallers is also horrible?
says its BIS on bloodmalet
You need to consider how much movement is in Nya'lotha
Also just the fact that the trinket is bad itself
Line up the ven diagram of Stars+GCB >_>
God bloodmallet is simming 95 corr worth of pure inf stars
lol
Clearly best.
Christ this is gonna be a fun tier for me isn't it
No.
Looking away from font and coral, what would you go for then zine?
Plumage + something idk
I've honestly not done enough sims on non-coral font
Because the diff is probably not big enough for me to care nor is it bis
Coral is straight up fucking nuts regardless of having font or not
Can be used with shit like vita thingy from raden ig?
Honestly I'd really really reallly recommend simming your own shit this tier
Websites like herodamage and bloodmallet have gear pieces that impact your personal values wayyyy too much
already am, just contemplating if there is a second trinket to focus on since eternal palace absolutely hates me
yeah I mean herodmg is using double tier 3 stars
so like
that sim is useless for 90% of ppl
Wont go as far as saying that the info is disingenuous but like
They're essentially useless
I mean I have to SIM with 75 worth of Stars anyway :3
particularlyy big haste proc items id take with a very large grain of salt lmao
stuff like plummage tho is prob legit
oh really? shit lol
Errything but mastery
do they typically build profiles off of raid gear specifically or just taking wtvr they feel would be highest dmg profile
both M+ and raid combined
cause looks like almost entirely raid gear cept for rings
right like the rings are just so obvious that they included them
but mainly just pickin raid stuff
yus.
They didn't make them with ttf so mythic pieces are better 99% of the time
and now mythic is flat out better so
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/j5VqpLGdHgVxzGG2eBJG1k
this is what I got in 18 hours of gearing up
Looks about right
Just that you should swap to subterfuge > ma because of the SS trait on your helm
it always seems like raidbots sims subterfuge+SS really low for some reason
I feel like it's stronger than it seems
That seems like top tier feelcraft sir 


Don't mind me, I just loved the beginning of BFA when SS was stupid strong in ST ;-; pls let me be delusional
The guy with 72k dps has ofc infinite stars and echoing void, both together doing 27% of dmg, cmin blizzard. Get free 10-15k dps boost by only beeing lucky with corruptions, unbelievable, even for blizzards balance game
Rest of the gear isnst even top tier

hard ones ofc
a rogue friend is doing 70+k st just because he got max corruption stars on a WQ 410 item...
Foto de Manuel
everyone’s gonna have them eventually

you’ll reach a poiny where you’re able to minmax between bosses choosing which corr effects you want on depending on the encounter
just like essences
ppl complaining about rng literally 24 hours into the patch 
Essences didn't do 27% of overall dmg
well thats not the point is it
Feel free to keep going in #wow-general
torment in a jar good for st?
Sim it
@strange python im guessing you are reffing to wowprogress sim, it doesnt really give a good picture of the sim dps, as you Can Equip 200 corription if you want. That hunter simming 88k is without legendary cloak, and then just put every piece of corrupt on
Simming will be odd, considering corruption can has huge draw backs that the sims dont seem to calculate
With all my corruption gear on, i will sim like 73k and the only drawback is 35% dmg taken and healing reduc, plus random oneshots from thing from beyond
“the only drawback is random oneshots and 35% more dmg/less healing”
yeah unfortunately assa isnt a superclass
that can exactly play around “those only drawbacks”
so you’re kinda trolling if you equip that much
rotate cloak and back use effect
it’s a 3 min cd 
just blind the thing 
ye you can cc it
when you play with world vein,
hold tb to line it up or vein on cd? 🤔
