The 85k dude obv did
got r1 boss dmg 

but as rogue its so easy to parse if youre in 2nd group
atleast when I boost
man that guys TA did 22%
and he only has r3
Truly outskilled
yeah just proc it when psychus is on 5 stacks
@rigid mango what talents for assa vision? I have 3x ss
use Hb then u wheelchair
internal bleeding can be dope but I think iron wire is bonkers
if you play solo I think you run with PB
Nice corruption
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3on3sWMn4PhDJZNDESjrCg
why should i choose subterfuge without ss trait?
and why 2 times nothing personal?
just want to understand, i know .. sim is right xD
do we use font of power 18 secs before pull

cuz of double on use like mages
i use exsg for solo visions (up to 3masks so far), it provides a much better burst and bosses die within seconds
You don't care about applying coral early @strange python
You care more about getting your entire vend in font
font/coral usage is pinned somewhere 😄
hey boys, why so many ppl playin botE on Xanesh?
Sup
Bote opener was before vanish right?
is the double raden trinket worth it in the raid?
Im using 430 coral and 465 spyglass right now
tb before bote?
Ye.
okay what are you using for 75
also why the heck would this discord exist if you just sim yourself
everytime
So we can tell you to 
thats just trolling man
How else would you know.
the official guide states certain essences as good enough for single target, just doesnt list one for 75
this is the part where I tell you cns3 is good as minor
then you say you dont have it
and then were back to 
whats cns
oh i aint got it at rank 3
damn Im a prophet
can i just use rank 2
no its bad at r2
for some people CLF is bad as a major now, for me its still the highest simming major
at 1k mmr it will take you 4months to get r3
rank 3 requires 1k rating season 3 right
damn Im a prophet
@drifting cloud hahahahah dying rn
yea ill just use crucible rank 3
I've forgotten how to use coral in raid, been popping it with cd's but it doesn't feel strong
ok zine/eniz
You should be using it with cd's, yeah.
@drifting cloud not a prophet, just has prophetic statements sometimes ❤️
I also lol’d pretty hard reading that
hi all, quick question. Im at 58 total corruption and ive heard the thing from beyond is super tough to deal with as melee. My two corrupted pieces are a dagger with a 1% echoing void (465 ilvl) and boots with a 8.3k tentacle flay (445 ilvl). Which one should I cleanse? or should i keep both?
This is for H Nyalotha btw
58 is manageable especially in hc, but if you prefer to cleanse one, just sim it 
wont it be tough during fights that require a bunch of movement or dont have a lot of space?
all corruptions scale up sooooo
Is there much RNG to the ASN playstyle? I haven't played since Legion and Outlaw just seems way too damn RNG heavy.
I'm thinking about grabbing some daggers and switching over
outlaw is not that rng heavy as you think, trust me
Sin and OL both have 6.7% dps variance (aka same rng)
No, there isn't, but Outlaw is not that heavy rng either. Take all RNG over a long enough period and it's smooth.
the perfect trio
trifecta
but ye, assassination RNG is actually getting good mutilate/envenom crits during burst windows
Oh, I'm sure over the grand scheme of things it isn't. It just feels that way to me with RtB so I'm thinking about coming over to ASN. Just figured I'd ask and get some feedback 🙂
and outlaw can get fucked by bad SS proc luck
you need too stop seeing rerolling as a waste
is there something htat has BIS?
Yeah, already know what I'm doing wrong with Outlaw. Just thinking about swapping and thought I'd ask.
The thing about sin rng is its not as obvious. You dont count how many cps you “could have gotten” had mut crit. Or how many DD procs you “could have gotten” if it proc’d, etc. Whereas outlaw, its very obvious when youre rolling for buffs
that's a good point that I hadn't really considered
I don't wanna ping him, but there is a dude named RtB rng Barely Affects You.
is double carapce dagger bis for us?
yis
good that i bonusrolled in outlaw spec then
Yes but not always with keeping the corruption effect on it
Given you can get BiS corruption elsewhere.
It’s bis because of ilvl
aight tyvm
So, still learning a lot when it comes to gearing Assassin. Are stat caps still a thing or does simming just answer all questions?
hc carapace until you get wrathion mythic, and that until you are lucy enough too get carapace mythic
its simming
@unreal shoal Sim.
Cheers.
im doing more dps as sin on hivemind then the 2outlaws in my group
without padding
ama
Why do your Outlaw suck?
Why do you play sin?
ask them, not me
🙃
cus im a cool kid
why do you have 3 rogues 
You said AMA.
(and because nobody kills the priority targets fast enough is the serious answer)
im #1 on ravager/darter dmg 
anyone knows if haste affects infinite stars ?
Assassination is fun and engaging
You should ask those types of questions in general @swift sparrow. But yes, it does
Anyone have an idea of how much uptime you get on surging vitality in your average boss fight?
depends on the encounter
its very good in every encounter that has constant raid dmg intake
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/tarren-mill/nolltresex# Can anyone help me with what im doing wrong? Feel like im performing worse for each raid
idk why.. but this annoys the crap out of me xD
I've notice that too. Is there a way to switch it to always be minutes anyhow?
something changed on raidbots. yesterday, i was simming at 62k and now im simming at 68k
@fair delta Are you running Void Ritual corruptions?
yeah
boys, what prepot are you guys using? 20% crit or agi?
@hot copper
@fair delta The bonus on it got doubled, that's why
@worldly tree correct answer here is 
But Unbridled
it was supposed to be updated yesterday though
had to be on nightly yesterday
mmm
it was keeping pre-nerf sims until EU reset
@hot copper where do i check on raidbots which pot to use?
yeah, but like i switchet to let simc decide there is no place which i check it after simming?

echoind void lvl 3 increases 300k dps more than my ritual void lvl 2 and doubles corruption
nice blizzaerd
I'll change it for the ritual and lose 300k worth it
What?
no more thing from beyond
!essence
Assassination Essences overview: https://bit.ly/2XaZOVd
Losing 300K dps sounds pretty extreme
the 2 are in the same item slot
http://prntscr.com/r1hkzj these is not bat right ?
bad*
You must be a pro if you are doing 300k
Question about vision of perfection. Im looking at kill times on several bosses... a lot of our heroic kills are 5-5:30 in length (I realize that’s slow). Since I would get an extra vendetta squeezed in on those fights would it be worth running it as a minor? Does the sim account for getting another vendetta for a given fight length?
you still get the same amount of vanishes
so youre just trading 1 vendetta for the dps the other minor would give you
also way worse if you use font for example
My sims show that subterfuge vs ma is only a 100 ish dps gain.
Do you have SS traits on your ST gear?
Subt > MA in higher end.
To the ss traits
But the diff is normally negligible
Yup.
Right, so if I’m not running ss traits and not running ma, would the extra vendetta be worth it
Full ST and the let the warrior pad his lil heart out
No? Subt is still around your vanish.
We haven’t killed that yet but I ran echoing blades and ss and was doing a steady 67k
like vop has 100 passive vers right
but cns has 480~
so youre trading almost 380 vers for a scuffed vendetta
can someone verify that these talents should be ran? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kxQhj8CZ7DZascfAW8X9Tt
same thing applies
just gave you a direct vers comparison
the vendetta is not free, youre paying stats for it
Cns is conflict and strife?
y
Its what you switch to once you have enough haste to not need iris or bote
which essences shall i focus on getting first? just coming back since 8.1
iris is easy and you gonna use on minor or major for dungeon
you kinda want to farm most of them
lucid and breath of the undying are staple minors atm, vision minor for m+, bote major for m+/raid, worldvein major for raid
lucid dreams is good on minor but is farming :/
and if you like can use on major too until you get CLF or worldvein
it was reduced to 4800 iirc
the good shit
Are we in the 3rd mythic week?
Yes
Thanks
Can anyone tell me what that combo point tracker/energy bar and the debuff bar to the left of the rogue is? I run with bt4 and move anything so really hoping I don’t need elvui for it
looks like weakauras
Thanks so much, that thing is a beaut
Hey guys do you know where i can get the quest for 460 piece for darkshore, unless i'm mistaken
In the port of zandalar.. the quest giver is right where you queue for it
hey peeps, I'm pretty stuck with deciding which trinket to run in raids and dungeon. I have 460 [Humming Black Dragonscale] 450 [Harlan's Loaded dice] and a 430 [Azshara's font of power].. Which one do I run with! please help! 😄
what major do y'all use for raid?
I alternate between worldvein and bote depending on fight/raid comp
@frozen plover sim them!
what other specs have wv as bis major? there aren't enough people running it in my raid for it to be worth it
@honest vessel They are 200 dps apart 😄
I thought there might be a usage to both of them in different situations
theres ur answer then :p
if timers dont allow for font on cd then swap off
thats bout it
like wrathion
@true pelican any minors? even with 0 others it still sims better for me as major lol
there's 1 other rogue running it as major
and a bm hunter running it too but they're usually too far away
hmm I just ran the sims again and seems like with 1 ally it's still better than clf
pretty close though so idk how much movement would affect uptime
can we out damage hunters and dh's, or is it a losing battle? assuming equivalent gear and skill?
50 corruption? that's gonna be nasty
single target yes, easily, aoe not unless you go outlaw
i mean assuming everything equal maybe hunters win idk
but you can beat a dh single target
warrior? o.O
I'm having trouble keeping up on alot of bosses in the new raid.
well you have very little corruption, and now that echoing void got nerfed it's even worse
are those essences your best?
crucible of flame?
50 corruption isn't too bad if you know the fight
you just need to know when you absolutely cannot take extra damage and use the cloak on use or rogue cloak
@short token I was replying to his comment ealrier
oh ok
was confused
anyone with breath of the dying experience have any advice, do we just use on CD? when are people using it in the opener?
Just got a few pieces with heart of darkness on it. After some sims, i didn't realize how powerful it was lol
Does assa have a prefered azerite combination in m+ now, or is it just any combo of 3 EB + whatever
3 SS + as many Eb as possible
So SS is > EB
Generally yeah, but they're both really good
I see
SS is just very versatile in its usage and is only limited by chainpulling, EB has a lot of short comings that SS helps patch up.
Yeah.
Thanks
hello anyone know what's best status for crit % haste % mastery % is good?
I don't think it's feasible to hit the "best" status for any secondary. What secondary is best varies from player to player
you have to sim your own stat weights man to get that answer, or preferably top gear. but your verse does seem really low, so i think that will be your top secondary
For m+?
when do you use vanish with subterfuge + bote in st fights?
With vend
yep m+
I assume you swap out iris minor for C&S for M+ right
You'd rather have strife/vop than iris
iris is major
i just change for gor about it
And you also want more echoing blades
You can easily just sim yourself there
yeah everyone saying it
ST it depends from player to player
All the stats are very near eachother just better a diff points
but realy don't know that sim thing
actually hype that breath major is so good for me. shit is fun
guffin what's the plan using it? just on Cd? when are you using it in your opener?
just using it where we always used clf in the opener, and then on CD.
I hold it a bit if: adds are about to come up in less than 30s (benefit from the lower CD on a >80% target)
or the boss will be under 20% within 30 secs (same shit)
and then you can also snipe executes on adds obviously
like nzoth you execute tentacles with breath, and then pump a big double damage one into a sub 20% psychus and then get 2 uses on nzoth
etc.
idk, it's really fun imo. lot more engaging than clf
and if it's almost equal in pure ST, then it's ahead in any fight with adds basically
at least for me
Looking at Ass rotation, https://i.gyazo.com/f6f0d2d44ed8833ee9a1adc5dcfdb24c.png - do I just not use Toxic Blade or?
with exsang
is echoing void simming correctly in raidbots, or is it using unnerfed damage?
for gushing wound/expedient/surging vitality etc. does it make any difference whether you stack a singular one like stacking a buncha expedient with maybe a racign pulse or something vs. combining the same amount of corruption but splitting it between different traits
idk if stacking has a benefit beyond just the dps per corruption point
Subterfuge and 0 SS traits in ST, just single garrote out of stealth?
Sim MA and see if it’s better with no SS traits?
ya single garrote
Does cloak free you from the 99% slow on dog?
corruption is always a raid specific thing, i played 55 on it and it was fine for me
hey guys im using dungeon slice to sim for mythic+ is the info accurate?
i got a few haste rings but it has echoing void and twilight devastation on it and its simming higher than my crit rings
the ilvl for the rings are about the same
In M+ with 3-4+ targets with Subterfuge, should I look to garrote them or garrote AND rupture 1 by 1?
getting 3 garrotes in subterfuge takes priority with any shrouded suffocation traits
thank you!
and dslice for assasination is kinda unrecommended but it doesn't seem unlikely that if you dont have other corruption that ev/td takes precedence over better stats
yes almost certainly
thanks one more q. if dungeon slice is not good for assa how should i sim for mythic+ tried patchwerk on multi bosses and shorter length fight but it gives some very strange results
what kind of results
generally multitarget patchwerk is kinda ok as long as you disable lust
but it's still not something you can rely on 100%
sounds not that abnormal, what's the issue
sim numbers are always kinda higher than you expect in reality due to inperfect play but as the target count grows so does the room for player error
ahh okay
Is it worth to crimson tempest on bossfights in m+? For an extra bleed or is that just wasted combo points
wasted CP
aight ty
How much are you guys simming atm ?
70-80 depending on corruption
How exactly are cleave fights played? F/e hivemind do you start by garroting both targets with SS and then Rutpure them before going into the Ven/Tb phase? And how many of the adds are you supposed to dot? Afaik sin should be really good in such cleave fights yet i struggle a lot to perform well so any tips :)?
Used to sim 78k before the nerf
Now 70k only 😦
Boomy in the guild sim for 86k
Dafuk is this
yeah with IS probably
boomkin sims are always super inflated as well
So what are the bis corruption for us atm?
How much crit should i be aiming for for pure single target
The sim is telling me to drop my NP for a second heart of darkness, feels bad, don't wanna do it, should I keep doing it?
try and get some opinions on #feelcraft
No
@dense blaze the bis that hero damage has doesn't have np atm, for what it's worth
got 2xSS, 2xTTK and 2xEB all 465 or should i drop one of my azerite pieces to 450 for extra EB or SS
for m+
what's the correct time to use BotE in, for example, a 4+ target pull?
2nd pin from the top.
hmm literally never seen an assasin sim where deeper came out slightly ahead - is this a new thing just with a lot of the good haste corruption?
yes
With the new raid gear, what will the BiS set-up be in M+ for the traits? 3x SS and 2x HoD and 1x TTK?
ttk is bad for m+ overall :D
is there a site where I can see the meaning of rogue short cuts like Bote?
Bad or just marginally worse

Bote is not a rogue thing
and its Blood of the enemy
ah okay haha
bote is assa wet dream in m+ push :p
the reason he's asking is probably because he didn't know what BotE was 😛
yea but its not a rogue spell
There should probably be a pin with commonly used abbreviations
Like pepega
@faint harness gonna check it!
THere is none currently
Tbh, the general chat here isn't a bad place to ask
@rigid mango fix ur name and make a pin for commonly used abbreviations, they might be obvious to most but for new players/new to the discord its very confusing when 50% of it is in shortened mode.
hey there everyone just curious is there generally a good trinket to use in m+ ?
torment in a jar from xanesh?
yea
interesting. thanks for advice
Flat agi?
Is it legendary
Scales with neck levels?!
you know it
Dood, sign me up
/signed
what trinket is that?
the R1 abreviation is for? i cant seem to pinpoint it in my head xD
nvm
rupture ofc
lol
I still enjoy font of power :3
madman
My actual concerns are corrupted item NOT dropping
like we did 200 m+ runs since 8.3 came out
we got like 10 corrupted itme over 700+ item dropped
I'm 100% sure it has reduced drop rate in m+
I looted like 5 corrupted item from horrific vision
Hey guys, i am new to Assa (played only Outlaw til yesterday) i kinda like it but i am unsure about Azerites. Herodamage and Bloodmallet say Double Dose is the way to go. at least 1 Nothing Personal. And i got 1 Shrouded Suffocation. I see m+ ppl running 3x SS and echoing blades. sometmes no Double Dose at all
Single target and dungeon traits are completely different
Ah thats why. So Single Target e.g. Raid u wanna have the Double Dose and maybe Twisted Knives i think ? and M+ the SS / EB combo with at least 1 Nothing Personal in both situations?
anyone wanting to help me sim top gear?
Anyone who's smart here? 😬 I have some dps issues
wait in the aoe openers what's the point of the Fok->Envenom before BotE
why not just BotE right after first ruptre, or after applying 3 ruptuers
@idle cedar what kind of dps issues
I have burst dmg around 55-60k, but then it scales down to between 17-21k and no matter what I do I cant up it more
this is both in raids and in m+'s
have you tried pressing more buttons?
I've tried everything hahaz
do you have a sim you can link
!abb
Rogue abbreviations: http://www.ravenholdt.net/rogue-abbreviations/
You gotta be doing something very wrong with 17k dps
Yes, thats my point @brisk forge 😅
aight so first of all
I've even downloaded addons for rotations
your talents are a bit questionable
Check up the bacis on wowhead/ravenholth
@shrewd night wups
@brisk forge I used Icy-veins
@lyric glade one is patchwerk sim and one is dungeon slice sim, can't compare that at all
ofc he got more ilvl but i want understand if e.g. the "Double Dose" tratis are thaat impacing
oh wtf didnt saw that -.-
sry!#
@shrewd night Where are essence abbreviations? Bote, CLF, VOP
@scarlet sequoia I put talents according to icy-veins :<
@idle cedar EP MA
And shit trinkets, essences
So work on that first
Dunno about your playstyle since u havent linked wcl
can still want to optimize current gear as much as possible tho
Warcraftlogs*
get better gear is quite terrible advise
@lyric glade one sim is patchwerk, other is dungeon slice
Use topgear aswell, not Quicksim
is there a certain amount of corruption i shoudnt go over ? or always prefer corrupted gear with cloak 10?
Nah, gear will help with dps 🧐
sure but it’s terrible advise none the less
It is
im confused
so you want to do more dps? press your buttons correctly and get better gear
so should i go for all corruption
105% guaranteed
or should i limit corruption
don’t go over 39 if you’re insecure
^
59 if you can manage
59 for HC 39 for M
Well if your gear is fucked up ofc that will impact the dps output 🙄
'Get better gear' as a catch all advise is terrible, since it doesnt give them any direction for what to improve on gearwise, whether it be stats or specific pieces of gearing/essences that would further improve their gameplay.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/droptimizer get better gear
You can give advise without logs, but the advice will be alot more specific and accurate with logs.
The generic stuff is there on icyveins
don’t go over 39 if you’re insecure
and an essence that gives resistance too
Cant get any clearer than this
if you go over 39 a dude will chase you and kill you
Is there any azerite BIS list? I mean, something I should aim for? (yeah, yeah -> sim everything, but we had, for example, Gorak Tul shoulders for titan tesiduum which were bis)
Not kill you insta tho, except if u’re Low on hp
bloodmallet has sims for best pieces
it depends on your gear @pseudo hamlet
check it out
high haste you want vexiona chest, gorak tul and ra-den head
crit you want last 2 bosses azerite and ra-den head
or swirling sands head from vendor
yeah
The PvP chest heads are also pretty good
same as ra-den head yeah
Considering my chances of killing N'Zoth this month(or even patch) I shall focus on Ra-den, Vexiona and Gorak Tuls then. Thanks guys 🙂
I have a Question regarding the opener for my Talent / Azerite setup:
Do i apply the 2 Garrots on the same target or is it meant to G1, R1, G2 ?
Numbers = targets
Both Garrotes on the same target
thank you sir
hey guys, got a question
im running a lot of m+ and im not sure how many corruption i should take. i got a dagger with +60, giving me echoing void, a ring giving me +35, also echoing void and some legs ho give me + 15 with versa buff
any recommendations? greetings
Play as much as your comfortable playing with
Some people feel comfortable with up to 39 some with up to 59
I’ve been using this opener too, but I’ve also wondered why are we casting garrotte twice so close to each other?
to get a longer duration on the empowered garrote
So the first 3 globals are stealth as in u get max duration and max damage garrotes
Ah ok that makes sense, thanks
U also dont wanna refresh the dot until it runs out if your running SS
That’s only the empowered one tho right? So the one from opener and after vanish
Yes
Cool, thanks
which site where to see bis gear
You can check icy veins but BiS really depends on ur Corruptions / stat weights etc so
@jagged elk i run 60 corruption in m+
but if you're not confident surviving the things should go <
anyone using surging vitality ? how does the proc rate feel ?
Pretty inconsistent. Had between 0-10% uptime yesterday on some early heroic bosses
Same here, far from the optimistic 45% i simmed for...
Hmm so that's normal I guess, I've been simming for 45% uptime too but i had very low uptime during my raid last night, just wanted to make sure thanks
Is it still best to play with max 39 on progression?
Should I sacrifise 2k sim dps for that?
Best is whatever you can manage without being a burden on the team
I think that's a personal accountability/how much your healers tolerate potential failure question.
Yes, I get it.
I have a belt that's a 4k simmed patch increase but I don't wear it because I'm not good enough on progression to manage thing from beyond. Plus it's pretty obvious when people run high corruption and die, then are sat without figuring out the two things are linked.
Rogues really do have a lot of ways of dealing with corruption no?
Got ‘smeagoled’ by it and now I sucked badly for last raid day and I got benched for next progress.
Perhaps assa less so than outlaw
Not all of us are of same skill I guess 😦
I like what your saying dude, survivability > dps on progression
Biggest dps loss is dying so
I had a thing from beyond pop during a fixate with purple swirls right before phase 2 on doggo.
Since then, pass on above 39.
Anyone have tips on how best to use razor coral on ilgynoth? Or even what happens to stacks when he "hides"?
Cool, at least I can formulate a strategy then. Thanks!
Timings all depends on ur Raids dps. But u still want to line it up as usual
Rogue abbreviations: http://www.ravenholdt.net/rogue-abbreviations/
For that
can you vanish the slime focus on Shad'Har mythic to avoid that mechanic or you still have to run out?
I've done it out of pure rng and popping cds right as it targets me
And if the person tigers lusting/freedoming me was fast enough to do it on me before I vanished the new target is fucked
the existing abbreviation isnt listing essences
Idk ask fuu to update it, even if it's pinned or in a command no one will use it
I dont personally think it needs to list essences as they are rather eplanatory by themselves.. But deliver a list to us and we can look into adding it, I guess.
Only reason it was brought up cus someone was asking about the rogue ability "BOTE" and what it meant.
@digital sphinx depending on raid DPS -> if you use vendetta on second organ, you'll use. coral during the final boss burn. Else you can pop it during each vendetta window on the boss
mythic plus its better 3 EB or 3 SS ?
I have items with 3 SS and 1 EB or 3 EB and 1 SS
3 SS
I just got back to raiding again and maybe I missed this in a guide or previous talks. Do we pop coral every vendetta window or is it first time and hold it for later?
every vendetta
Cool thanks been doing that wrong then lol
I hold my coral yesterday for execute range in mault mythic
its not a big deal
use in every vendetta its better
execute range as rogue 
You don’t run dispatch @scarlet sequoia ?
yeah i do
@kind eagle doesnt matter if detection procs something you dont use 
@tropic ocean :/ feelsbadman

Next to my titanforge socketed eye of command 💔
eye of command kreygasm
is it ever worth using FoK in ST to cap CPs? I've always just finished with 4
No
Could do it with hidden blades talented?
Any rogue of whom i can get some help with why i am underperforming in raids regarding my damage? My gear is fine etc.
can you share a log?
How accurate are dungeon slice sims?
@tidal dust your third vendetta window is suspicious
You mean regarding with TB?
also, how much corruption are you running with? from your shadhar logs I'm only seeing your infinite stars. Heart of Darkness azerite doesn't activate until 25 corruption
i was running with 60-80
ah, the weapon corruption doesn't show on summary, but i see the appendages. thought you cleansed those for a second XD
no no! i got 3 mindflays and 1 infinity star and like 30 more corruptions pieaces but finding it hard to play above 70-80 so normally around 60
I feel like im doing worse by each raid and tbh im not sure way. I see the vendetta window now as you mentioned

It seems you are playing subterfuge without any shrouded suffocation traits, that's one problem at least @valid sphinx
sims higher single target atm
Yeah a lot of people are finding that to be true atm, same for me
does for a lot of people, sounds like it scales better into higher ilvls
plus i strongly prefer Subterfuge to MA so if its only a 100-300 dps difference either way im gonna play subt
saves me lots of tomes for multi target fights too lol
The only major thing I saw was you didn’t hold vendetta for your second vanish
Usually you want to line the two up so that your empowered garrote is under your vendetta
ahh i was thinking that didnt matter with subt that was probably part of it
Ah I see, I believe the opener is G-R-G for subterfuge?
It still buffs garrote damage by 80%
nah only with SS traits
good to know kyle ty
frustrating because i feel like im playing near perfect but damage is so low, not sure if its just corruption RNG or shitty stats/not having a 445 razor coral
my corruption was s o good then they nerfed EV and honestly feels like im just gonna purify my 60 EV belt
certainly will as soon as i get carapace dagger
in 5 of your tb windows you only got two envenoms
which is fine
i dont think my haste is high enough to consistently get 3 even when i pool, have to get lucky crits
and simc still doesnt care about haste at all, think its my worst stat
play seems pretty fine tbh, shitty killtime in bad gear
you don't have any hasted corruptions so it's pretty normal for haste to be not that hot
just drop worldvein when you're playing in raids like this every log i look at just has like <50% 4stack uptime
you'd benefit a little bit from generally slowing down on your button pressing cause you're bottoming out on energy at low haste pretty much all fight but it's not really that much damage lost, like ~5-6% elaborate uptime anda couple percent envenom at best
hmm thats interesting insight thanks, i probably should throw up a weakaura to track elaborate i kinda forget about it
you don't have to worry about it too much but it's just a good habit to get into to like
not be mashing your mutilate as hard as humanly possible waiting for the energy to come up
there's so much room in the assassination rotation at low haste to just chill out
Y’all talking about haste, how much haste is like a good amount? I can’t seem to get anything other than crit/mast but my rogue is about 2 weeks old. Sims got me stacking crit but I’m sitting at like 33% crit 13% haste and 41% mast lol

i understand the principle of why you dont need to mash mutilate cause obviously as long as you're not capping energy its no damage lost, however on the opposite end i havent really found the justification not to just spend the energy as it comes up as long as you're pooling for TB. does it just come down to elaborate uptime?
it's not just uptime per se, you can have lower uptime but better usage if that makes sense, if you're floating 20 energy the entire fight you'll go into some envenoms with 0 energy, noodle a no crit mutilate and the second will fall outside elaborate planning for no reason
if you have no elaborate up already and you're at 4/5 cp and envenom buff is still rolling but you're at 20 energy what is the point of envenoming again rather than just either waiting for envenom to trail off or have 100~ energy
ooh yeah i see what you mean that makes total sense
It’s not difficult to see how mathematically front loading more damage inside windows of increased dmg yields more damage than spacing casts out, some falling in or out of those windows
it's pretty minor gains overall but for something that basically becomes habit after a few pulls it's super worth it
but like i said generally your play is fine, your gear just sucks you killed a boss 2 seconds before vendetta was ready and your major essence basically worked at half value
what's the main issue with my gear you figure? my ilvl is obviously reasonably solid but i dont know what major goals for getting different gear would be
445 razor coral? right now ive just got a 415 and my weird trinkets both sim higher
here
i simmed you
@valid sphinx
roughly a 2.5% gain over what you currently have
i'll sim again to test enchants/gems
Huh interesting I must have some real odd gear on at the moment cause after EV nerf i was simming 64k
you had aoe gear on so i had to alter it to match the gear in your shad'har parse
fuck
i had lust off
that's probably why
ahh that might explain the low number
kk im doing a new sim
looks like MA once again took over subt by a touch on pure single target which is interesting
not sure what is making it go back and forth for me, maybe because my trinkets got swapped around a bunch on tuesday
gimme one sec im on the work laptop but i can grab it
kk
mhm
Subt -200 DPS on ST
I should probably just switch to it completely no?
Since the only pure ST bosses are Maut and Dog
and ilgynoth
You can pad on the blobes 😄
ye but why would u pad
Would be a dps increase over MA
highly doubt it but u do u bro
wouldnt go subterfuge without any ss traits unless its a like 500 dps increase
You ain’t running it?
doesnt sim higher
Ah dope
@rigid mango should I be playing sub the same way you do with ss or follow sims. It uses gar mut rup opener then doesn’t line up for 2nd vendetta
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/grcKx5RS29YhmwcC2W655n with a SS trait (though on 465 ilvl)
I'm at 59% mastery, might be why
When would be the best time to use the troll racial? During Vendetta or after the Vendetta window? Since i'm playing with Galecaller's atm i'm unsure if i should use both or even just one during the ven window cause i fear that i get more energy than i'm able to use and waste a lot
yeah wrathion trinket is one of the trinkets id use over anything else even if it was a 200-500 dps downgrade lol
the wings are cool enough to justify the loss in dps imo
Do as the sim says @arctic walrus
Atleast on the first vanish, dunno I still think aligning is just better
should i mutilate the explosive orbs or just melee?
garrote and rupture it
ignore them
how do u guys play as sin in m+? what is our major damage in a tiranical week?
poisoned knife
you guys are too funny

how do u guys play as sin in m+? what is our major damage in a tiranical week?
Good question though
with 3xSS and subt your top damage over an entire dungeon will almost certainly be garrote
followed by FoK/EB if you're playing EB traits
AoE M+ build Assassination sure feels bad to me in high tyrannical keys though ill tell u what
the tradeoffs you have to make as ass for ST/M+ are huge
or you have 7 tentacle traits and let it top for you 
Idk doesn’t feel that bad imo. Def not as good as running a raid build and traits but not the worst
But I’m just a shit tier player sooo
as much as it physically hurts me to say it, i do think outlaw is better for high tyrannical keys 🤢
Anyone have a Blind target macro for Thing From Beyond?
Ahh
contrary to popular belief though i do think assassination with the correct traits is actually better for high fortified keys
someone can help me with logs? -.-" low envenom damage idk what doin bad ...
CT for fortified weeks is better i think
tiranical adds almost dont live to dots make the real damage
The copy pasta is:
PB: KR, SoB, and Tyr ToS.
CT: The rest.
@honest vessel PM x) ty !
Simming dungeons will never be that accurate. Too many variables on routes, pull sizes, etc.
wich is Tyr?
Yes, only use to keep bleed up. Don't spam it.
is vop considered good for sin?
And how do we feel about EV after the nerf ?
not bis st anymore but still decent and good on aoe
It's quite dogshit for all content
One of the worst you can possibly have for ST and at best mediocre.
im coming from outlaw and adrenaline rush with vop was nice so i was thinking maybe vop minor would be good since vendetta is a big cd
its not good most of the time cuz using vendetta without vanish loses a lot of damage
ah ok ty
im surprised to see the herodamage set doesnt use NP anymore
heart of darkness just that good?
HoD is good, but don't rely on HeroDamage either.
no ofc not always sim
ofc
just an interesting thingy
cuz thats a theoretical bis list right
thats kinda the point of the combinations tab
theoretical BiS doesn't really exist.
theoretical.
BiS doesn't really exist.***
i put theoretical because its not a list of items you should try to get
Was supposed to be two separate statements.
oh gotcha
So are we supposed to roll with twilight devastation now for myth+ or those stat increase bonuses ?
What sims best of whatever you have/can get
TD is pretty good.
A crit or mastery corruption is probably good too.
Take dungeon sims with a grain of salt.
probably big in m+ too
Is there a guide somewhere that shows all the stuff that can be cheesed with Cloak and Cheat Death in Ny'alotha?
Wowhead ny’alotha tips n tricks for sin maybe? Idk if those are bad or good tho
Wrathion
Cloak removes the stacking slow from creeping madness and prevents reapplication while cloak is up.
Maut
Cloak immunes Stygian Annihilation and the damage reflect from Obsidian Skin
Skitra
Ends Shred Psyche, spawns add
Xanesh
Ends Soul Rend effect entirely
Vexxiona
Immunes her P3 effect, I think you still take haste debuff if not near anyone else
RaDen
Don't know, I haven't got hit with mechanics on Heroic and haven't seen it on Mythic
Hivemind
I've just used it to ignore the damage from void zones and stuff
Shadhar
Pretty sure it ends the fixate mechanic with no downside?
Ilgynoth
Not sure, lve only done this fight a couple times and haven't tested it much
Drestagath
Cleanses the stun debuff, procs the on expiration stun on anyone around you though
Carapace
Cleanses Insanity bomb, procs the on expiration effects
Nzoth
I haven't tried to use Cloak while affected by Paranoia, not sure how it works
That's just based on my personal experience and memory of the encounters
On Ra-Den you'll probably use cloak for soaking
And you can cheese the big circle so the raid doesn't take dmg
is the dungeon slice sim to be trusted as assassination? or ever? just curious
It can give you like a rough idea, but the answer isn't just
like with ST.
trying to choose between 440 spyglass and 470 harlan's
Sim 3 targets patchwerk for 1-2 min and you'll get a rough idea
ty. the crit from spyglass seems pretty good with 3 EB.
is there any stats that favor Infinite stars stacking?
Haste, but 
470 harlans almost definitely beats a 440 spyglass in mythic plus me thinks
yeah. i just did 3 sims for 1, 2, and 3 minutes on 3 targets and harlan's wins by about 800 dps each time
that's with 2 ss and 2eb
Yeah I mean if it wins on 1 target it will win on anything above 1.
also, is echoing void just dead now? i got a r3 ev belt the first week of heroic which was huge, but now gets beat by lots of other stuff
Pretty much.
no level of echoing void is worth the corruption it costs to wear it unless you have legitimately nothing else
+15 corruption gushing wounds will do the same amount of damage as a max rank echoing void
because blizzard is garbage
they just arbitrarily nerf corruptions in such a way that one will always be significantly better than the others, and if you dont have that one you do 20% less damage than people who do, then they nerf the one you have so that it's useless but there's still one just as broken that they may or may not ever make changes to, completely arbitrarily
and they don't seem to know how to not do that with any system they implement for the last 5 years for some reason
People want a lot of cool, asymmetrical effects. Disparate effectiveness is baked right into that idea.
sure it's fun, but when your ability to get 99%+ parses relies on multiple levels of RNG both in long term loot drops and short term fight RNG, its just kinda ehh
i just dont understand why they continually put such GIANT variance on stuff like this. like how is 150 avoidance based on haste, and 25% of your damage over the course of a boss fight on the same loot table? it makes no sense and they continue to do it. it would be so much more fun for everybody if every single one of them was OP but different
likely however that they have taken this all into account and the psychologists they have on board have determined that items dropping in such a way generates maximum revenue.. hot garbage tho
like arms is one of the few specs
that has no corruption with rng that is really good for it
haste from all sources > everything
for m+?
for m+ in any affix (tyranical and fortified) sould i run 3 ss 2 EB and 1 ???, or have some setups for each afix?
It's because the game is never going to be balanced around getting top rank parses
That's a concern for a very small minority of the player base.
3 SS 2 EB is good and is all you will need. 3 SS 3 EB is better.
even for tyranical 3 EB is that good?
Still lots of trash in the places
Yes, pull fat. Big
.
Sin in m+ lost hes value of haste, but i feel my single target too garbage
on boss fights
even with vendeta up, i can get a good burst
but after burst = trash dps
should i put some haste?
Your setup changes dependant on dungeon more than affixes
How far will assassination take me in M+? My friends and I plan on pushing Mythics pretty hard soon. Im dead set on sin though. Id rather not change to Outlaw, but if its make or break after a certain key level ill consider it.
On par to outlaw.
Just hard to gear it and optimise it
and not as simple to just rock in and make it work
On par meaning its equal to outlaw?
Yus.
That's good to hear.
you need good gear tho
Because I can spec into an AoE version of Sin. Right now im raid spec'ed. So theres more AoE to be had if I want without going Outlaw.
with outlaw getting 1 wits and deadshots/aces is easy
getting ss/eb pieces is hard on assa
there's only 1 head in the game with ss/eb afaik
how do u sim corruption effects on raidbots?
and traits is the most important thing for assa
You just put your gear into raidbots?
Wow here I thought azerite traits on armor were random rolls. That was a mistake, lol. So I can actually target specific prices of gear with specific traits on them?
i mean like to compare two corruption effects to see which one to cleanse?
Sin is not on par with outlaw imo
Yeah its BETTER.. right? RIGHT?! Lol...
Am 2k io current saison as sin rogue and got hard time to follow my outlaw friend
im sitting at 58 corruption and i feel like it might be too much to deal with during raids, but im struggling to decide which of my two items to cleanse
Justin you can use raidbots to compare what your dps will be like without each effect to see which is the lesser one.
ok cool thank you!
or just wear the old piece of gear and put on both when your cloak is high enough
dont cleanse if the effect is good, eventualyl youll be able to wear a TON of corrupted gear
Look at morningwind/seli stream. They 80% of the Time last dps. Even tank compete with em on overall
my two effects are echoing void (1% health damage) with 60 corruption on the piece and boots with an 8.3k dps mind flay add that adds 35 corruption
its just i know this is like a really shitty echoing void corruption. its not the best one so i figured its probably not worth it to deal with the thing from beyond during fights
Farayzen - Whats keeping you from changing to Outlaw in that case? I wonder if its the same for me. Im just not sure if the difference is so drastic that I have to go out of my way to put a new build together for an off-spec I havent played since it was called combat.
you can easily wear both of htose corruptino effects
95 - 35 - 10 (BOTD) = 50 coirruption
Celestron - i did. Im now outlaw. But to be Honest i prefer sin
35 is rank 10 cloak
Was it worth the change? Like did it make a big difference with your runs or did you just change to keep up with your friend? How much of a difference was there?
Hm. That doesnt seem like much.
I changed to be on par with em
does the thing from beyond and the huge radius of the eye not matter? cause even just doing wq's its a pretty big radius and on fights like Ra-den p2 where you have to stack together for group healing do i just eat the damage?
We play sin/outlaw/ havoc
sorry im just coming back after a while and these corruption effects are making my head spin a bit
the radius at 50 corr isnt huge, you can cloak, cloak, or Elusiveness and Feint, or just tank the dmg - it's not that much in a raiding situation
just save your cloaks for those stack situations
Always finish third dps overall. Now its more equal
when you NEED to be able to move (Xanesh soccer) or stack like raden
And what about utility? I know OL has that grappling hook, but beyond that is there anything more an OL rogue can do then a Sin rogue for the group?
gouge is pretty nice interrupt for some trash mobs
Sin can work just as well as Outlaw. Sin is just harder to optimize.
gouge is a pretty big bonus over sin, i swap around what i play in mythic plus cause i get bored playing one thing, and i really miss gouge when i dont have it
Dps / bte / stunt who dont need combo to use.
with bte and gouge outlaw sort of has 2 more interrupts than sin does
like sure you could kidney shot but that always feels so weird compared to just having bte part of your rotation
Exact
plus my single target/2 target damage is significantly higher as outlaw compared to sin with AoE traits
I feel like SS should have is nerf removed to be on par with other dps
Thank you for your answers! Ill keep both effects for the raid tonight and see how it works out
And with 3xSS 3xEb the single in tyr week is meh
worse than meh i'd say, its pretty bad
empower garote fade fast and eb worth nothing in single
So u spec to compete hardly in aoe/cleave but dont keep up on single
Its frustrating
Maybe subtlety is the play 😂
Plus low haste make it quite boring
what if you're not supposed to outdps every single group member in any scenario
Haha sub😂
I dont Ask to outdps. We Talking about the pro/cons of sin vs outlaw
Havoc have this right?
havoc is beam beam fel barrage i do damage 
Il dont know em but i guess u right
hey guys, for Nyalotha raid, what pre-pot do I want to use? Unbridled?
Anyway i love sin. Its just not on par when u play with good player.
hey all, my sims recommend taking heart of darkness over SS, is that a good idea?
Hmm. Not the best for sure. But pretty sure am ok at 95%
95% what
I mean you can chat all the shit you want
but seli can contest every good player in the world
its really not that bad
Nah lol
Idc
its like a teir
He play with god player
tier*
wellllllllllll?
Look their meter man
He is a god tier player?
