m+ 
On hero damage it say gusting wound is the best is that true ?
Educate me what this part meant
EV probably better overall for raid though
As in 3 gushing items?
For m+ ev is king
Unless it somehow scales with amount of pieces with it
unless gushing can stack from aoe
Ye
Depends entirely on fihgt
which is like very few fights this tier
or well if u are commanded to just burst st
EV is just too versatile
instead of overall
for assa everything is pure st
but on the other hand ev is pretty strong on st too
so gushing is bis
so not sure if worth the sacrifice
ev is just constantly up and proccing
idk what the proc rate is
dunno about gushing yet it says 4 rppm
Most of the shit in raid need to to swapping
Ev is 10% in every key I did
4rppm is pretty high
For me it's like
TLDR on corr is
but not compared to echoing
It's absolutely disgusting
@meager bridge its insane on st too
from first 2 raid nights
2x ev is same dmg as envenom on st
so
Yeah, it's completely nuts

I only have 1 r2 I think
Yikes lucky bastard
Been trying to farm a second one in m+ but shit is rare as hell
been doing that since wednesday
Here I am sitting with 3 dog tier corr pieces
but neverlucky

I got is and ev
i got stacking crit corruption
👌

only corr piece i have is my dagger
and 3 or 4 void ritual
and 415 gloves that give me more haste
hopefully void ritual is buffed resident sleeper
The versa one might be halfway decent
Crit buff + crit stat increase + ev
It's 700 something vers
ive only used it 2 keys but
Same
its not as high uptime

I wish I could have this for raid
Ikr
🙏
Holy shit
That's a lot
55%
Chill it's the naga buff
Scam
Oh

2x ev is also very close to outdpsing eb

on key

Actually sorry it's more like 1.9
I am so lose on the build right now
I mean, things can only get better, been playing the raid with 2x EB because I wanted to use the new pieces

Be honest if we stacking Cri and ves can we go back to bleed
you wish

It just doesnt work
All t2 talents suck for it
Vanish desync sucks for it
Essences suck for it apart from blood thats yet again desynced from vanish
And if wv were tobecome meta
Again desynced
Trinkets - desynced
ye
get better gear
i mean ur gear is last content
its what alot of people simmed after nerfs and no benthic + mediocre gear
clf nerfs*
ur head and shoulders are pretty bad
They just told you what is wrong

Do we need 1 Blightborne or do we just want DD DD DD NP TTK TTK? Thoughts?
yea thats why im about to tend to get some more of the rest (rolling random piece, that means :D)
wait heart of darkness is even better. allrite
once we go full haste end of xpac for corruptions, would it then be exsanq and ss build again due to galecaller?
Mastery Andy
herodmg trinkets top ones are all haste? :c
and?
a simple no would've sufficed..
I was just curious where this comes from
Don't use herodamage
It's playing entirely around inf stars (which fyi sucks kinda for prog) and that's where all the haste comes from
!Essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
Use your own sims not those pre made ones that wont look anything like realistic ones.
I'm still simming mastery over haste but I only have r1 stars so that might be it
the top trinkets on herodam aren't really haste anyway it's liek what
coral plumage
then galecallers which has always been like a swerve if you can
vitashard (p ok i guess)
deadeyes font
harlans
m+ trinkets are there overall for 2 reasons
New trinkets suck
And new trinkets suck some more
And m+ is closer to m level now
Fs in the chat for all my guys out there who gotta go back to EP to farm a better font
don't think so either, my goal is just to get my hands on a torment in a jar for carapace/hivemind/whatever i think
a what
borement in a jar
they might be better than nyalotha trinkets
dbw 
Does it actually do respectable dmg
it's like, kinda ok
Does it split the dmg?
it's like one of those things that i don't think i'll end up using but i want incase
i don't believe so but i'm not 100% sure
ait
so are we running galecaller + coral now??
No
Initial tests with Torment in a Jar on a M+16 Mech did about 2.6% of damage at 445

sounds about the same as electroelemental jar
WM6 torment did 7%
what ilvl
460 trinket
lol not that bad
but still pretty fucking ass
why run that if u can run coral + sm other statstick
lazy
wait @meager bridge you were playing assa in that 6+
HoD is simming way lower than NP even tho I've got NP on my shoulders
I thought HoD was good
Any ideas why?
plenty
you dont have the corr needed
you dont have the corr items needed
your gear is low
your trinkets arent good
any of the above
you can just post the rb link
did the trinket buff change anything for us anyway?
[Shorting Bit Band] with nature dmg someone know how good this is ? 😄
mechagon ring
best all round m+ azzerites ?
3xSS+3xEB has been the go-to for most dungeons, but we'll have to see with corruption and the 490 azerite not having EB
okay thank you
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iGRj9bJt1oR9n54Xnjr3RN
Interestingly enough
Nothing beats font coral for me 
@warm parcel just Titanforge a dragonscale 🙂
They’re not beating out mythic fonts and corals
The need about an additional 30% buff I believe to be up At least up to par
is there anyone here that does log reviews? its not for me so i would prefer it be in dm (or if im in the wrong channel please let me know, i didnt see one when i glanced around)
Pog a useful minion

Ty for help whenever I drop by frost channel
always happy to help 😄
I can review them but I’m at work rn so can’t atm
all good
I can aswell
if you dont mind if i could dm, that would be great
Go ahead
!mute @strange python 4h stop filter dodging after reapeatidly hitting it, it's there for a reason.
imagine getting filtered or trying to dodge
Yeah dude.
Outlaw only

Is it worth holding TB 10 sec to line it up with worldvein resonance?
If you're at 99% pushing for 100% it might make a difference
has the pin been updated for what to take with your fourth heart slot?
nope
what ever sims highest for you
@shrewd iron you shouldn't because you'll lose TB casts in the long run. You could do it only if that TB is the last one you cast for some minor dps gain
Anybody use a macro to apply razor coral?
Yes, use trinket slot one
ok thx @crimson palm
you can't really macro coral to any ability you use
i just noticed simcraft is simming me with focused resolve instead of unbridled fury, is resolve better?
they're pretty close right now, unbridled wins for most people
word
Erm. Something I'm wondering about - do I use WVEIN like Guardian? Just after tb before vanish / env? Because at pull u don't have shards yet,or do I?
the major forces you to 3 shards and you'll have 1 from somewhere
my sim says use it pre vendetta on pull, for what its worth
if anyone else is running wv you'll always have at least 1 up I think
Just to confirm
That infinitely scaling azerite trait that is based off our neck level was scrapped right?
Our azerite powers dont scale with our neck level, that was replaced by the cloak level scalingf
Hearing a lot of conflicting information about this
The traits do scale with necklevel, but 80 is max. Cloak will get +2 cor resi per lvl after max
Cor procs don't scale with ap anymore but with the itemlvl where they are on
5 minute, 50 second fight on Ra-den. "2 out of 5 possible casts" of Vanish. 
Looking to confirm. The best way to sim for M+ is to use the Dungeon Slice?
Stick to raden on hc, orbs are not worth it
Unless something has changed you don’t sim Sin in dslice
Oh, I plan on sticking to Raden after experiencing him that first night. It just throws me off that it says 2 out of 5 Vanish casts instead of 2 out of 3.

@toxic burrow did you have vop minor equipped?

Assassination Guide: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/
Anyone able to help with a quick rotation question?
After a very long time farming, I finally have both Coral and Font. I would operate under the assumption that Font should be used approx five secs before pull on a boss, then prepot, stealth, opener rotation which would include Vendetta. From that point forward, how is Coral used? On CD? Do I pool stacks and use with Vendetta or continue to try and line up Font with Vendetta?
its in the pins
With vendetta
apply coral on cd, then use it with vendetta
what do people do for tracking bleeds in aoe?
and how many targets do you keep bleeds on before you just focus on envenom
I use plater and have bleeds setup as a special debuff.
The buff to the trinkets looks like it still isn't enough to compare to a 445 coral
That's a shame, or perhaps I'm mistaken
does vision of perfection procced vendetta also give 60 energy?

@teal mica yuh
so what's like the ideal m+ assassin azerite setup, 3 eb but what else you care about? 1 ss i assume?
Take a look at high io sin rogues
3x EB and 3x SS.
thanks
is this true even on tyrannical weeks? like you wouldn't sac some SS for more ST damage like DD or w/e
DD is useless on trash
alrighty. fair enough
Get yourself 6x laser matrix 
Where does worldvein fit in the MA opener?
right before vanish?
@balmy kraken just before vend
@upper ether how can it be simbait
@civic forge fyi SS > DD in short boss fights, DD is really just good on extended fights hence its raid usage.
gotcha. makes sense
SS for parsing zergs, DD if you’re not trolling lol
SS isn't horrible in any way shape or form.
is there any point in going into mechagon workshop with AoE azerites?
The aoe is quite limited but the bridge is real scary
was thinking if for awaken and bosses it would be more valuable to do a solid 10k more ST
aslong as you're not sacrificing SS' for it, possibly worth it
Hello guys i had break after Azshara Mythic how good is rogue so far in raid?
I have the option of another NP on my helm, should I take it or stick with TTK?
just come back from a long ass break and rogues seem to be kinda dead ad buried and now the place is over run with DH's
what's the code to incraese my corruption for a sim
want to see what heart of darkness will do for me but my corruption is to low so wanna force it on the sim
Defo sounds like #wow-general
Do you have rank 3 in the others?
Feel free to link the sim
You didn't use condensed, WV, or crucible as major
yeah i came back to my rogue in 8.3, don't have clf or blood essences unfortunately
just surprised me that it got the highest dps

what trinkets are best for assa in the current patch?
is haste one from wrathion any good
yes it is
All of the ones from new patch are beaten by font coral (:
Wouldn't say wrathion trink is particularly good either.
5 minute, 50 second fight. That's what I was talking about earlier.
Is that wowA?
Yuppers.
Haha. That makes sense. When I looked at the other two sins it showed the correct Vanish data though so I was...confused.
i use iris after or before CT on M+?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/UZTAJ39mSyEtxQQaxDLWX Have question regarding my rogue... SHould I just keep farming gear in M+ or look for something more specific
Is it ever correct to reapply dots prior to pandemic window when TB is about to be up?
just so you only envenom when in the TB buff
@rigid mango think 1 eb would be the play in upper mecha?
Uhh, probably?
@fallen compass yes if it's within 3~ sec of hitting the pandemic window
Thanks!
Hello everyone, I decided to pick up my rogue, did some reading, i tried outlaw, i personally don't care for it, is there any real issue playing assassination in pve?
sin is fine
No.
okay, thanks
For 2-3 target cleave should I use 2 SS or 1 SS and stack TTK
Hey guys, I recently picked up Assassination as my main spec, and I had a question regarding the Envenom buff
Should I be waiting to re-apply Envenom if I'm not energy capped until pandemic range, or should I spam it as soon as I have 4-5 CP?
Waiting is fine as long as you are not over capping and there is no movement coming up. Waiting isn't really a huge DPS gain either though.
Alright, thank you!
is there a crit cap for rogues or no?
no
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kvH3YCDrKSzTdfhR4aFbLK so it just told me Dice with socket >Font
font coral doesn't like
exactly work right in the apl with subterfuge ss for some reason
have you tried going with hod instead of ss and ma over subterfuge?
like, font is getting pressed at 1:55 and vend isn't getting pressed to 2:31
he doesn't have the corruption to enable it besides a td ring which sucks
probably something that should be looked into cause it'd explain why ss builds like actually suck ass now
@arctic walrus even as nightly scale is simming better for me now with new corruption. Can i finally pog or am i idiot again?
fuck yeah your right
forgot to get rid of this apl when i was testing something before
it was fonting early pre pull
was so excited about it i forgot to get rid of that
atleast you sim 1k more now!
hey mythic socket one its probably pretty close
mythic wont rng socket tho right
with CT i have to use in Single target too? or is not worth it?
you dont use ct on st
Its impossible getting my raid team to think that worldvein is better *sigh
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th in the order that we do them all requires stacking
11/12 require stacking and make wv worth it lol
Would anyone please tell me the stats im looking for in drops to start my assas raiding set? crit haste?
so question, mainly playing m+ but still kinda fucked with azerite traits. currently have 1 SS and 1 EB do i go poison bomb or crimson tempest in m+?
also do i got 1 nothing personal over 2 twist the knife or do i prefer twist the knife
@honest plaza all of them are really close just sim it honestly it's the only answer, esp w corr
@strange python CT for all but kr/siege/tyr ToS, ttk>np apart from 1np in kr/siege is dope.
great tyvm 🙂
ah ok thx
anyone have experience playing with 50+ corruption in raid? how big of a detriment is it?
an annoyance that can cause death but will likely remain just an annoyance
i would say it's "manageable" but can def mess you up if you're not paying attention
just picture it as like a 10% chance you randomly die out of nowhere
probably not for prog, fine on hc/meme raids
I guess I'll play it in heroic but drop down to 39 for mythic prog
numbers are stupid though with higher corruption
actually silly
is there any consensus on ra-den trinket set being good for rogue?
consensus is that they're bad and don't beat out font/coral anytime soon
so is there anything worth chasing in the raid? besides I guess carapace dagger and azerites
there are some things about the titanshards that might make them like actually good but i'm not sure
like currently the voidshard is simming at 50% uptime on it's crit buff, and as far as i can see the titanic empowerment buff (set bonus) isn't granted at all
it's possible it's under another buff name that i'm missing though
or it's not a buff at all, and just a stat given
its like titanic empowerment or something like that
I heard
o wait you just said that
if it's an actual buff it's not showing as granted in the sim at all (orb not collected), so it's possible the set is actually gamer gear but not yet known
i'd definitely hold onto them if you get one or the other of them
the void shard default sims at 50% uptime on the shield
which is like
i'm not sure how accurate that would be? it obviously varies a bit encounter to encounter
it's only like a 70k shield so it's not unreasonable for the default to be breaking at 7 seconds into the crit buff but yea
guess it wouldnt be that good on Maut :^)
yeah it's the kinda thing that idk, the void shard might just tank the set on some fights to being unusable
and Torment in a Jar I pressume is good on aoe only?
currently yea
why is rogue so low on the dps rankings?
Please, I'd love some sleep
I was looking at noxxic, is it not accutrate?
who would you use?
Warcraftlogs
noxxic is literally a website that lives off ad revenue
An actual joke of a shitter site.
some of the legion sims were so hillarious, like demo lock 30% higher than everything else
I remember it being close to good in like mop
But then it just shit itself again instantly
Noxxic and AMR are verboten
Get that trash out of here
Noxxic is the dumpster fire version of icyveins
Oh boy
If you could decide for 2 bosses which u will be preferrebly able to loot, which would you pick? (except last two) and regarding outlaw offspecc, too. Let me hear some opinions <3
Mythic, that is

Wration and ra den is pretty obvious
Then whatever gives you the best ilvl upgrades
Since there's no titanforging
corruption system is nice now, either stars or void or scrap gear 
Possibly heroic carapace and nzoth
Raden trinkets viable now after buff?
if you scrap gushing wound you're inting
Or wound yes
Eh people are freaking out I think a bit too much about corruption still
Yeah it sucks not to get one but you'll eventually get saturated
and craft head
corruption is fine
Esp with the gating
I got like 10 corruption pieces, all with garbage corruptions, while ppl simming 15k more just by beeing lucky, ofc we freak out
High chance of more nerfs still to come
its not even mythic week dude lol
It's titanforging but worse
@strange python got the 3rd biss one
bis*
but on outlaw
lel
why can outlaw use daggers as offand but assa cant use swords as offhand 😦
Gearing for sin so fun this patch u need 6 different azerite pieces since they cant do both ST and AoE KEK
same as always xd
Meh not really for EP u only realistically do it for Orgozoa if ya wanted to parse or just play outlaw
Blizzard should prob implement EB by default in our kit or something cause if you count M+ that's a whole other set for SS build kek
Ye that wouldnt be broken at all
Obviously you would balance it
By what other spec needs 3 different builds?
Lmfao I'm just gonna play warrior or DH and do all
Just play outlaw and use bf if you want aoe
Nobody really cares about parsing until its later in the tier anyway
Like 1 or 2 months later y mean
How am I gonna have fun till shadowlands
If not by parsing kek
You will skip until 2 last bosses and play other games
Or roll DH sounds good : ) I rather play DH than outlaw
Dungeon slice is kinda bad for sin
hmmm
did you sell your font by chance
So whats the plan for trinkets now for assa?
no i still have it
don't see it in your top gear though
okay well
Do you have 0 max as your corruption limit?
you can throw on lethal strikes to put you down to 38
with this ring i got 48
and then font will get better, and then wv major will be better
yeah i'm aware but like I said, lethal strikes is -10
Font/coral or coral/inkpod?
font coral
think thats gonna be better than vita/coral? or both raaden trinket?
if we take sims at face value, those trinkets are still bad compared to our ep combination. It could be a fault in the sims however, but we'll have to wait and see on that
it wont let me sim all that
In vanish windows if you only get 3 cmbo from mutilate do you envenom or mutilate again ?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3whUqiYW1SkUU76Zr7nTw6 Id love if when i cleared half of heroic i got more than 1 useful piece D:
Farmed over 30+ 6s now and no decent corruption
i simmed with leathal strikes and notta
@rancid bobcat why is da-den such an obvious roll? I mean he drops ol weapons with single target corrupted. Trinkets aren't sure to be good. And engi helmet mythic is a solid choice till ra-den
I'm not talking bout bonus rolls - I need to choose 2 'major need"-bosses for raid. But not more than 2
2 last bosses
That feeling when you are simming at 52k dps and people are simming at 65k dps and you are still beating them :I
did you check the corruption slider in the sim input?
umm i cant sim it with the ring
48
it gives me over 100 combos and i dont pay for raidbots
oh thats why
Vel keeps telling me to sim with font even tho its not gonna work 
You got rid of the ring or bank again
i dident get rid of the ring
the way im looking at it im gonna have to wait tel my cloaks higher to put it on
unless i find a replacement for my belt cause it has 25 and my cloak resists 27
i have it equiped lol
yes
smiyo: isn't lash of the void aoe though, not a single target corruption
anyone have a weak aura for TB duration so I know how long i got left
hey , i wanted to know when i should pop blood in m+ as assa rogue ? on ST & cleav

Be honest with me here, how completely ruined are my stats for raiding?
Have this one for more crit though, and also have a 425 dice.
Not too bad, need more haste tho
I'm assuming lucid dreams is probably your best major lmao
15% is on the ultra low end, isn't it?
Yeah I think so
Yeah, so, i just got back to the game, and i only have rank 1 lucid.
Don't even have flying yet, lmao
lucid ranks are easier to get bc blizzard nerfed the rep requirement
Until you get your first minor, always use lucid major
I was told that blood of the enemy was really good, so, i got myself this:
I'd sim yourself. bote isn't as good till rank 3
Like I said, with your low haste lucid will probably be the best major for you, even at rank 1
But I might be wrong
gl
also, get rid of that cannon trinket asap
it's simbait, it's garbage
it sims way higher than it should
Yeah, sims sim it like a true patchwork fight
any sort of movement, or even bad geometry positioning makes it really bad
Oh, sweet, thanks.
np
so is CLF still one of the best ST majors? ive heard rumors of it only simming goot and not playing out best in pracise
it is, but it's looking like worldvein +3 and lucid are better majors rn
however
sim yourself first, for some CLF is still simming better
worldvein is a 500 dps increase if 3 uses
but how do you play it out in practise?
use at the same time as youd use CLF? pre each vendetta window?
Yeah, use it on cd to try and line up with ven. Unfortunately, higher movement fights will prob make it suffer a bit. CLF or lucid might be better in those situations
I gladly use clf oder wv, clf is just press and go, wv. Wv loses value by moving and you barely patchwerk a boss
how do you play out lucid major tho?
it might be better to wait on using worldvein if you know a boss mechanic is coming up thats gonna move ya
how do you use lucid as a major tho?
Uhh you'd have to check out a rogue guide for that, it's been awhile since I've used it. If I remember correctly, you use it after ven falls off?
Either that or use it with ven. Can't remember
so with the TB after vend?
Oh yeah, that's what it was, thanks
oh so kinda after the TB window in vendetta?
when u are out of energy
Approx yes? But it's more important to use it when low on energy so you don't overcap like crazy
ye ofc
bote still better for fights like the tentacle you gain a dmg buff for tho?
since its a burst window of dmg you need?
long time ago
but still functions the same
basically when u cant press anything else anymore
same time you wanna use belf racial as a belf then i guess?
to gain energy to continue
probably use it after lucid
Yee ofc
because during lucid u have a hard time to not overcap
i ment like if you dont run lucif major 😄
lucid simming same as CLF weird?
or, +- 50 dps
theres nothing weird
each character is very unique due to items/stats/corruptions/essences
if it sims best for u, use it
but if they sim the same when is lucid stronger than CLF and vice versa?
ah
and how do you play worldvein in pratcise?
use before each vend window?
and on CD for 2nd thats outside of it?
so use it before first vend then on cd?
what is sequence would it be like vendetta world toxic vanish envenom?
i feel like u could let your energy recoup a bit with the one global and not lose damage up time but idk would need someone much better than me to answer haha
you shouldnt be starved entering vend tho
and vend does give you energy regen
but BotE should still be best for burst window fights like draz right?
eh
I would love to be able to run world but people dont want to bother trying it
It gonna become irrelevant because of ilvl agi increase
Vita-charged is the only viable trinket to use with coral?
how much vers are people running
im actually running fucking no vers, not simming very well. 79 vers....
@fathom wyvern u shouldnt be starved but also shouldnt be full before using vendetta
personally I do wv - vendetta tb vanish envenom
ye kinda what i thought
anyone know a good WA for bleeds and poisons?
what's the best setup as sin rogue for corruptions? <39 obviously I guess
can we stack gushing wound on multiples items?

@faint harness i need to call 2 major bosses where I will be in on progress for "best loot". (not counting last 2 bosses). For now, I'm about to say vexiona for chest and wrathion for assa and ol weapons. (to be in on every wrathi to get a weapon w/ corruption forge). Or vexiona / ra-den cuz of that weapon (which has shitty stats and a not - so good corruption effect and trinkets which are not safe pick yet).
That's my dilemma kinda
would anyone actually suggest CT over hidden blades with tripple EB in M+?
ima try ct for a bit
The long awaited
8.3 Corruption
Gushing Wounds
This effect is really good for single target and currently the highest dps/corr effect you can find, but only drops with 15 corruption. Doesn't help cleave but doesn't get punished, pretty much always a good choice.
Echoing Void
This is probably the alround best choice for sin in the upcoming nyalotha tier, it's very good for single target, gets better with cleave and is never going to be bad for any encounter. It's also a top choice for m+ because of all of this. Echoing Void Recieved highly impactful nerfs not only numbers wise but the removal of detection spam to work with it, it's now one of the worst corruptions available in every form of content.
Infinite Stars
Probably the most controversial of them all, Infinite Stars has been nerfed time and time again and even though the popular belief of how good it is, it still suffers a lot from multi target fights because of the lack of concentraded procs onto the main target as it can missfire onto anything you're in combat with. It will be a top choice for any single target boss.
Over everything I will once again advocate for simming yourself, top gear is an amazing tool to help you when you have questions about these or the other effects present in this current patch. The different corruption effects impact your values a lot. Apart from the aforementioned effects, there are still a lot of them that are really good.
Hello, not sure where to post this but here goes
I've been told DFT benefits Sword rogues more than dagger rogues
could you lot confirm this assertion
and tell me to which extent is landing white hits with swords more valuable than daggers
ty kindly
Is this classic stuff?
it is
Because there's a #classic-discussion for this
thought it was a classic discord, mb ^^
Is visions of perfection worth getting as assa? it must be pretty good to make it line up better with vendetta I assume?
i mean, make vendetta line up better with BotE :p
It's good for m+ yeah
Oh, not for single target fights?
Nope, vend + vanish is too big.
I see, thank you
Gotta sim whats best for my essences... sucks that it takes forever to get rank 3 on WV... thought i would get it before tursday raid but its sunday and i still wont get it before raidtime 😦
Is flame usually the best for ST for assa?
not really, WV is really good, so is blood and CLF
I see.. Flame simmed slightly higher than all of those for me as Major essence
Is there a preferred way to set up raidbots to sim m+? Dungeon slice is giving me traits I would call...questionable
you can use my sim script from #wow-general (pinned),
but as every m+ script it has diffrent issues
that was exactly what I needed @vestal wren thank you
anyones else infinite star doesnt proc? 2 m+ 2 rated bgs and 15 mins now on dummy not a single proc
A guildy of mine wasn't seeing it proc on a dummy either, should work elsewhere though
if your stuff never procs at all, take the pieces off and eq them again
i did like 20 times. its either bug or they broke it to proc very rarely or im unlucky af
anyone know if/when bloodmallet will be updated with new gear
I am very lazy and do not sim or test things
Say, Is Breath of the Dying really OP or something? its still stronger for me than my BOTE rank 2
(when I sim)
bote rank 2 is garbage
bote is pretty shit until r3
Im... not willing at the moment to farm any more honor
if i collect 500 conquest i will get a good axe in pvp, any way that i can get a dagger instead?
oh nice

raidbots is telling me rank 2 essence of the focusing iris is my best major essence for single target
I feel like I am being lied to
well what essences do you have
recently getting back into things, so not great I admit, Rank 2 are Memory of lucid dreams, the unbound force and vision of perfection
rest are r1, dont have CLF
I see , thanks for your input
Use icy veins
Is CLF rank 3 still needed? As for trinkets do I really really really need both coral and font? I assume coral is stil bis but the second is a bit optional am I wrong ?
I see all top rogs logs use font and Coral in every fight so :/
yep font and coral are bis
If you can’t get a 445 font, then new raid trinkets might be better for you. As for coral, It’s probably still worth the pick up, heroic or mythic
Clf isn’t that great anymore, and in your raids you should try and run worldvein major
has anyone simmed to see at what level would the new trinkets beat font coral?
actually kinda curious 
Need to bonus roll that fucking coral till September t.t
A 490 dragonscale is on par with a 445 font @shut garnet
Raden trinkets even higher than that probably
Switched from a fury warrior full bis for this patch , I fill a bit stupid right now xD
Are the 10% buffs implemented on raidbots yeah?
So still shit then, ta
@arctic walrus when you want to change class , I think rog its a good choise for m+ and raid and pvp compared to war
is TTK worth using if your spec under subterfuge?
It's never bad
regardless for M+ or raid?
p much
Rip ttk. You were fun for a time
you never know, might come back this season
didnt really look to see what seli’s been playing around with in m+
but he was speculating it might make a comeback
with how many worldvein allies do you guys sim for raid?
4
is the vita charged changes already up on live?
I've seen a buff/fix on herodamage etc
but unsure if it's for next LO or this one

Crucible simming higher than worldvein and bote, something new i didnt hear?
: http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ is it down ?
Yup
!stats
Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > vers => mastery > haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.
ye no one using wv for this fight
just seems weird with crucible, as wv with 0 allies has simmed like 3-400 over bote and crucible the last couple of days
any idea why haste sims so bad for me?
14% haste
could be my minors but still 14 is really low
also didnt sim my sockets yet
could actually be lower
i dont like low haste
how bad is "so bad" in terms of stat weights?
just ran your stat weights, it's not entirely terrible. But I think your iris minor with 3x OP and quick nav enchant probably makes the sim value crit & vers by significantly more (crit is 6.7, vers 6.59, and haste is 5.2)
echoing void probably has something to do w ith it too, but idk enough about how the corruption stuff works to say anything about that
just off the top of my head, I think vers might increase the dmg of it and more crit is never a bad thing until the sim tells you otherwise
uff i guess ill see later in the patch with max ilvl gear
yeah I feel like the corruption stuff has made it a lot more complicated than it was before
I agree. I have % mastery from corruption on something and it's like GET ALL TEH MASTERY
wheres the assassination guide? keep getting 404 error
sorry its just i was gonna run a dung as assassination and was looking
IS anyone having issues with vanish+ subterfuge? i'm 100% vanishing but not getting the SS opener on certain fights
@subtle tundra youre running triple OP, 2 haste minors (iris/bote) quicknav/force, and youre a troll(berserking), thats going to bring haste down quite a bit, also if you have any kind of corruption specifically void like you do, that will bring verse scaling up
does the coral usage change if running CLF? like instead of using coral for vendetta, use it with CLF 2nd cast
Hmm, Subterfuge sims better than MA even w/o a single SS trait. Why ?
It scales better
How so? Am I supposed to use Garrote then even with no trait?
Coz even if I offer him to take Garrote traits he still rather takes double dose
I thought he would at least take 1 somewhere, but straight up takes only double dose
The only time, so far, SS is better is on cleave fight and sub 2min burst
Okay, but do I still use Garrote or just stick with the normal opener?
Btw, the sin guide link in the channel description gives me a 404
I would ping some1 for it, but Idk who or if it's necessarry
Yes you use garrote without any traits
You go back to old opener, gar > mut > rup, afaik
It scales better bec of % dmg increase instead of flat 50% crit
Thoughts on alchemy trinket?
humming black dragonscale is simming at 1k less than dead-eye spyglass (15 ilvl lower)
:/
I have void twisted titan shard too but not the vita, someone was saying both together are BiS
Say, would it be alright if I drop a Log here and you guys could tell me what I am doing wrong?
Is it just me or is the N'zoth fight shit? During Psychus phase everything dies so quick that you either end up energy starved cause of no bleeds or no dps cause you're putting up bleeds and not much else. Or am I doing something entirely wrong on this fight?
@junior flume Felt the same way
Some of it is probably just due well geared toons killing the tentacles too fast, but man...
Just pump vend into every nzoth phase and look at just boss dmg
Any suggestions about 4th essence in the neck ?
Thats what sin does on that fight
tfw u overwrite a empowered garrote 
Yea that's sorta what I was doing but it just feels so meh
@junior flume dot up psychus, envenom each tentacle once and while moving keep dps up on psychus
cds on n'zoth, overlaps with each 'intermission'
my bigger issue is Font on that fight, there's no way you can use it together with coral though
Idk I just keep psychus perma dotted and dot tentacles for energy regen every other tent ish~
keep spamming tb's on it and have high coral stacks
at 15%~ you get 4+ cp and channel font
click your body and pop cds when u come out
how much boss dmg did u do on your hc kill?
hey all, sorry if this has been stated already, but i just hit 75 on my neck, whats the best combo for pure ST for essences?
checked the guide and i dont think i saw anything
Whatever sims best honestly
Just returned to live - best way to farm corrupted items? speed running m6+ atm or something?
cheers ty, what lvl cloak do you need* for several rooms? im barely able to do like 2 bonus rooms at lvl 3 or 4 cloak
@fresh robin its more of a question of how fast you can blast it, the memento upgrades helps alot, but i did my first 3 room clear with rank 3 back
@fathom wyvern roger , ill just get good, my gear was frozen in time when classic came out, least i have 445 weps i suppose 😛
Does anyone know if the Guardian of Azeroth benefitted from your stats? Was simming stat weights w/ worldvein and saw that despite losing the haste buff that the Guardian would give you, haste has become less valuable to me. Guessing it just means that guardian benefitted from your stats but can't find anything saying that would be the case. Mastery also became much more valuable, and crit became less valuable too. That was the only change made between the 2 instances of stat weights, so any/all changes are from losing guardian and gaining worldvein
I know other elementals and pets benefit from player stats so it would make sense, but I haven't seen anything saying that it functioned the same way (I tried looking but mighta just been searching the wrong stuff)
he did benefit from haste atleast
because there was a bug with some classes that had too much haste and it made guardian do some funny things
Hmm. Yeah it would make sense that he would, just surprised I never saw anything mentioning it in rotation guides or theorycrafting when to use him with cd syncs for any classes
I never saw that bug pop up or anything about it, otherwise that woulda answered my question
didnt happen for rogues afaik
Condensed Life-Force: The Guardian of Azeroth (Essence) pet should no longer have delays between its casts when the player has very high levels of haste.
22nd November
Hmm. Alright so I guess that just means that losing the benefit of building haste to give to guardian was a more significant loss than losing the haste that it gave me during its uptime
Doesn't necessarily explain the significant jump in mastery scaling and the dip in crit, but I'm guessing that its probably just something with having the consistent agi buff making mastery better because its more consistent damage or something, idk
or just that now since all the damage is coming from me and not some from the ele, more of my damage makeup is poisons/bleeds so that becomes worth more. idk
¯_(ツ)_/¯
theres usually way more factors, overanalyzing youll just get in over your head
Yeah but I like overanalyzing. More fun
its not like you only removed clf, you also added something instead of it
and well new patch, people have all types of different gear
Yeah but thats what i'm looking to compare. It's not like I also had to change gloves and trinkets and enchants. I do have a single comparison point
I ran statweight sims before and after the change to make the comparison
I could also see it being because CLF was a 3min cd vs 1min worldvein, so you're getting a cd to line up with every vendetta/master assassin burst
which is a big poison chunk in and of itself, benefitting from increased agility
Basically I'm just doin this for fun more than anything.
I enjoy the theoretical stuff and tryna find out why it happened
ct in more aoe friendly dungeons (generally larger pulls, less st hard mobs)
siege, kr and tos usually average lower pull counts and have annoying lieutenant type mobs that would warrant pb
you guys using hidden blades or crimson this week
never hidden blades
im enjoying tempest
wich the best azerite combinations for M+? i'm using 3 echos 1 Scent of blood 2 Twist
i saw peaples using 3 of garrote but idk
ss is by far best trait to stack and eb cant get close dmg wise
Hello ! I m a new rogue player for this patch and i dont have razor coral (ashvane trinket). What should i do ? If i dont get it soon, i will lost a lot of DPS and i will never parse good? The difference between this trinket and New raid ones seems so huge in bloodmallet. I dont understand why. Thanks
because it gives dmg and a lot of crit
theres still pug mythic/heroic running in ep so try to yoink one from there
or do it with ur guild
No plans for blizzard to change that/fix it ?
Ofc not
Why would they fix a trinket from last raid tier that has been out for ages
It's not that it's super strong it's just the new trinkets are shit synergy wise
I mean it is also strong but not broken,way below broken
To be prepared for Nyalotah MM last week i better do EP HC than Nyalotah HC ?
So just so EP hc and myth first 4
I mean doesn't really matter on the order
But yeah go do EP hc and myth
I mean if you really are dedicated u can run normal too cuz if u get 415 with socket it's like = 430 no socket
But finding a group might be hard if you got no logs and low ilvl so good luck with that
This is so weird
What is?
the best trinket in the previous raid
should i go farm Kimbul too ? Kappa
