rigid mango
drifting cloud
#

but as rogue its so easy to parse if youre in 2nd group

#

atleast when I boost

#

man that guys TA did 22%

rigid mango
#

He just outskilled you

#

wdym

drifting cloud
#

and he only has r3

rigid mango
#

Truly outskilled

drifting cloud
#

yeah just proc it when psychus is on 5 stacks

wanton viper
#

@rigid mango what talents for assa vision? I have 3x ss

rigid mango
wanton viper
#

Wtf crimson tempest

#

I dont have a button for that I'm afraid

rigid mango
#

use Hb then u wheelchair

#

internal bleeding can be dope but I think iron wire is bonkers

distant lava
#

if you play solo I think you run with PB

rigid mango
#

hm maybe

#

Idk fuck solo xd

distant lava
#

fuck you

rigid mango
#

PB isn't a huge gain for short kill timer shit either

distant lava
#

leave my boy solo alone

wanton viper
#

I always fuck solo

strange python
#

do we use font of power 18 secs before pull

arctic socket
strange python
#

cuz of double on use like mages

vast forum
#

i use exsg for solo visions (up to 3masks so far), it provides a much better burst and bosses die within seconds

rigid mango
#

You don't care about applying coral early @strange python

#

You care more about getting your entire vend in font

strange python
#

aight tyvm

#

so 5 secs before pull

vast forum
#

font/coral usage is pinned somewhere 😄

versed bobcat
#

hey boys, why so many ppl playin botE on Xanesh?

rigid mango
#

Sup

crimson palm
#

Bote opener was before vanish right?

viscid lichen
#

is the double raden trinket worth it in the raid?

#

Im using 430 coral and 465 spyglass right now

rigid mango
#

tb > bote > vanish > env ye

#

Sim it KGB.

crimson palm
#

tb before bote?

rigid mango
#

Ye.

crimson palm
#

do I delay it on carapace?

#

for the ads/

pliant apex
#

is crucible of flame okay for 75 minor slot?

#

rank 3

royal lantern
#

answer for almost everything

pliant apex
#

okay what are you using for 75

#

also why the heck would this discord exist if you just sim yourself

#

everytime

white wyvern
#

So we can tell you to simself

pliant apex
#

thats just trolling man

white wyvern
#

How else would you know.

pliant apex
#

the official guide states certain essences as good enough for single target, just doesnt list one for 75

drifting cloud
#

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 simself

pliant apex
#

whats cns

white wyvern
#

Conflict and Strife.

#

Look the answer wasn't simself

pliant apex
#

oh i aint got it at rank 3

drifting cloud
#

damn Im a prophet

pliant apex
#

can i just use rank 2

drifting cloud
#

no its bad at r2

white wyvern
royal lantern
#

the thing is simple

#

stuff is slightly different for everyone

pliant apex
#

well im not that far from 1000, im 800 hmm

#

ill just use crucible 3 till then

royal lantern
#

for some people CLF is bad as a major now, for me its still the highest simming major

drifting cloud
#

at 1k mmr it will take you 4months to get r3

royal lantern
#

^ atleast go for that 1,4k

#

its not hard

pliant apex
#

rank 3 requires 1k rating season 3 right

drifting cloud
#

yeah for 1 item a week

#

you need 15

cosmic obsidian
#

damn Im a prophet
@drifting cloud hahahahah dying rn

pliant apex
#

yea ill just use crucible rank 3

rigid mango
#

Just sim it

glacial crypt
#

I've forgotten how to use coral in raid, been popping it with cd's but it doesn't feel strong

pliant apex
#

ok zine/eniz

rigid mango
#

You should be using it with cd's, yeah.

hollow stone
#

@drifting cloud not a prophet, just has prophetic statements sometimes ❤️

#

I also lol’d pretty hard reading that

tiny sierra
#

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

vast forum
#

58 is manageable especially in hc, but if you prefer to cleanse one, just sim it blobshrug

drifting cloud
#

honestly the worst one is the slow

#

since it scales up

tiny sierra
#

wont it be tough during fights that require a bunch of movement or dont have a lot of space?

royal lantern
#

all corruptions scale up sooooo

alpine latch
#

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

royal lantern
#

outlaw is not that rng heavy as you think, trust me

hollow stone
#

Sin and OL both have 6.7% dps variance (aka same rng)

white wyvern
#

No, there isn't, but Outlaw is not that heavy rng either. Take all RNG over a long enough period and it's smooth.

hollow stone
#

Woah

#

Im seeing triple

royal lantern
#

the perfect trio

white wyvern
#

trifecta

royal lantern
#

but ye, assassination RNG is actually getting good mutilate/envenom crits during burst windows

alpine latch
#

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 🙂

royal lantern
#

and outlaw can get fucked by bad SS proc luck

#

you need too stop seeing rerolling as a waste

fair delta
#

is there something htat has BIS?

royal lantern
#

dispatch is not THAT strong

alpine latch
#

Yeah, already know what I'm doing wrong with Outlaw. Just thinking about swapping and thought I'd ask.

hollow stone
#

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

alpine latch
#

that's a good point that I hadn't really considered

white wyvern
#

I don't wanna ping him, but there is a dude named RtB rng Barely Affects You.

strange python
#

is double carapce dagger bis for us?

white wyvern
#

yis

strange python
#

good that i bonusrolled in outlaw spec then

hollow stone
#

Yes but not always with keeping the corruption effect on it

white wyvern
#

Given you can get BiS corruption elsewhere.

hollow stone
#

It’s bis because of ilvl

strange python
#

aight tyvm

royal lantern
#

for your mainhand weapon

#

simply go ilvl over everything

unreal shoal
#

So, still learning a lot when it comes to gearing Assassin. Are stat caps still a thing or does simming just answer all questions?

royal lantern
#

hc carapace until you get wrathion mythic, and that until you are lucy enough too get carapace mythic

#

its simming

white wyvern
#

@unreal shoal Sim.

unreal shoal
#

Cheers.

royal lantern
#

im doing more dps as sin on hivemind then the 2outlaws in my group

#

without padding

#

ama

white wyvern
#

Why do your Outlaw suck?

hollow stone
#

Why do you play sin?

royal lantern
#

ask them, not me

hollow stone
#

🙃

royal lantern
#

cus im a cool kid

granite dust
#

why do you have 3 rogues monkahmm

white wyvern
#

You said AMA.

royal lantern
#

(and because nobody kills the priority targets fast enough is the serious answer)

#

im #1 on ravager/darter dmg blobshrug

swift sparrow
#

anyone knows if haste affects infinite stars ?

dense blaze
#

Assassination is fun and engaging

hollow stone
#

You should ask those types of questions in general @swift sparrow. But yes, it does

echo cargo
#

Anyone have an idea of how much uptime you get on surging vitality in your average boss fight?

tropic ocean
#

depends on the encounter

#

its very good in every encounter that has constant raid dmg intake

tidal dust
topaz vine
white wyvern
#

I've notice that too. Is there a way to switch it to always be minutes anyhow?

fair delta
#

something changed on raidbots. yesterday, i was simming at 62k and now im simming at 68k

hot copper
#

@fair delta Are you running Void Ritual corruptions?

fair delta
#

yeah

worldly tree
#

boys, what prepot are you guys using? 20% crit or agi?

fair delta
#

@hot copper

hot copper
#

@fair delta The bonus on it got doubled, that's why

#

@worldly tree correct answer here is simself

#

But Unbridled

fair delta
#

it was supposed to be updated yesterday though

hot copper
#

Simbot didn't update til today I believe

#

But don't quote me on that

upbeat tinsel
#

had to be on nightly yesterday

fair delta
#

mmm

upbeat tinsel
#

it was keeping pre-nerf sims until EU reset

worldly tree
#

@hot copper where do i check on raidbots which pot to use?

hot copper
worldly tree
#

yeah, but like i switchet to let simc decide there is no place which i check it after simming?

latent gazelle
#

Yes

#

(Someone else help, I can’t remember what it’s called that you look and see)

#

echoind void lvl 3 increases 300k dps more than my ritual void lvl 2 and doubles corruption

#

nice blizzaerd

rigid mango
#

Have you simmed with nightly?

#

EV is pretty fucking shit.

whole mantle
#

I'll change it for the ritual and lose 300k worth it

rigid mango
#

What?

whole mantle
#

no more thing from beyond

tropic surge
#

!essence

hallow coyote

Losing 300K dps sounds pretty extreme

whole mantle

the 2 are in the same item slot

#

You must be a pro if you are doing 300k

whole mantle
#

ops 300 dps

#

sorry

kkkkkkkk

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?

drifting cloud
#

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

fallow peak
#

My sims show that subterfuge vs ma is only a 100 ish dps gain.

serene osprey
#

Do you have SS traits on your ST gear?

fallow peak
#

And my 430 font simmed lower than my 445 Harlan’s/430 coral

#

No

rigid mango
#

Subt > MA in higher end.

fallow peak
#

To the ss traits

rigid mango
#

But the diff is normally negligible

wet ruin
#

what do you go for vexiona?

#

is it full ST or?

rigid mango
#

Yup.

fallow peak
#

Right, so if I’m not running ss traits and not running ma, would the extra vendetta be worth it

serene osprey
#

Full ST and the let the warrior pad his lil heart out

rigid mango
#

No? Subt is still around your vanish.

fallow peak
#

We haven’t killed that yet but I ran echoing blades and ss and was doing a steady 67k

drifting cloud
#

like vop has 100 passive vers right

#

but cns has 480~

#

so youre trading almost 380 vers for a scuffed vendetta

fair delta
fallow peak
#

I run wv, lucid, focusing iris and breath

#

Never got the pvp

drifting cloud
#

same thing applies

#

just gave you a direct vers comparison

#

the vendetta is not free, youre paying stats for it

fallow peak
#

Cns is conflict and strife?

rigid mango
#

y

serene osprey
#

Its what you switch to once you have enough haste to not need iris or bote

fallow peak
#

I don’t have that one ...

#

I realize I’m not optimal by missing those essences

whole mantle
#

this ring lvl 1 is so fucking bad 😦

#

but gives me a lot of critical

#

sad

tacit wing
#

which essences shall i focus on getting first? just coming back since 8.1

whole mantle
#

iris is easy and you gonna use on minor or major for dungeon

strange python
#

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

whole mantle
#

lucid dreams is good on minor but is farming :/

#

and if you like can use on major too until you get CLF or worldvein

tropic ocean
#

it was reduced to 4800 iirc

stable isle

#

Are we in the 3rd mythic week?

raven locust
#

Yes

dark crag
#

Thanks

zinc coyote
#

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

jolly trout
#

looks like weakauras

livid spindle
#

the left bar atleast

zinc coyote
#

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

pure moth
#

In the port of zandalar.. the quest giver is right where you queue for it

frozen plover
#

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! 😄

cinder lava
#

what major do y'all use for raid?

strange python
#

I alternate between worldvein and bote depending on fight/raid comp

honest vessel
#

@frozen plover sim them!

true pelican
#

what other specs have wv as bis major? there aren't enough people running it in my raid for it to be worth it

frozen plover
#

@honest vessel They are 200 dps apart 😄

#

I thought there might be a usage to both of them in different situations

honest vessel
#

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

true pelican
#

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

unkempt solstice
#

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

short token
#

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

unkempt solstice
#

I'm having trouble keeping up on alot of bosses in the new raid.

short token
#

how's your boss uptime?

#

has that changed?

short token
#

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?

true pelican
#

50 corruption isn't too bad if you know the fight

short token
#

oh i scanned over i only saw he had EV

#

shows 15 corruption for me

true pelican
#

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

short token
#

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?

fleet whale
#

Just got a few pieces with heart of darkness on it. After some sims, i didn't realize how powerful it was lol

naive cypress
#

Does assa have a prefered azerite combination in m+ now, or is it just any combo of 3 EB + whatever

rigid mango
#

3 SS + as many Eb as possible

naive cypress
#

So SS is > EB

rigid mango
#

Generally yeah, but they're both really good

naive cypress
#

I see

rigid mango
#

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.

naive cypress
#

is TTK a fine filler ?

#

So if i get like 3 SS, 2 EB 1 TTK

rigid mango
#

Yeah.

naive cypress
#

Thanks

fossil pagoda
#

hello anyone know what's best status for crit % haste % mastery % is good?

fleet whale
#

I don't think it's feasible to hit the "best" status for any secondary. What secondary is best varies from player to player

fossil pagoda
#

mine like this

#

i can change tatsus

#

like %

#

up and down

fleet whale
#

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

rigid mango
#

For m+?

umbral mauve
#

when do you use vanish with subterfuge + bote in st fights?

rigid mango
#

With vend

fossil pagoda
#

yep m+

fleet whale
#

I assume you swap out iris minor for C&S for M+ right

rigid mango
#

You'd rather have strife/vop than iris

fossil pagoda
#

iris is major

rigid mango
#

You want less haste and more mast/crit

#

Nah blood is major

#

😄

fossil pagoda
#

i just change for gor about it

rigid mango
#

And you also want more echoing blades

fossil pagoda
#

i see

#

for raid

#

cirt haste?

#

crit

rigid mango
#

You can easily just sim yourself there

fossil pagoda
#

yeah everyone saying it

fleet whale
#

ST it depends from player to player

rigid mango
#

All the stats are very near eachother just better a diff points

fossil pagoda
#

but realy don't know that sim thing

strange python
short token
#

guffin what's the plan using it? just on Cd? when are you using it in your opener?

strange python
#

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

short token
#

gotcha

#

it's kind of like marked for death in that aspect

strange python
#

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

woeful hornet
true pelican
#

with exsang

woeful hornet
#

ohhh thats right its a talent, mbmb

#

cheers!

#

been a while haha

unkempt solstice
#

is echoing void simming correctly in raidbots, or is it using unnerfed damage?

strange python
#

Nightly has nerfed one

#

So gotta Switch to that in the options

timber meadow
#

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

sturdy python
#

Subterfuge and 0 SS traits in ST, just single garrote out of stealth?

strange python
#

Sim MA and see if it’s better with no SS traits?

cobalt pelican
#

ya single garrote

half tartan
#

is it too dangerous going > 40 corruption on shad'ar

#

puppy cute

sturdy python
#

ty

#

I did Shen, subt is a little better

ornate gazelle
#

Does cloak free you from the 99% slow on dog?

cobalt pelican
#

corruption is always a raid specific thing, i played 55 on it and it was fine for me

amber tiger
#

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

woeful hornet
#

In M+ with 3-4+ targets with Subterfuge, should I look to garrote them or garrote AND rupture 1 by 1?

cobalt pelican
#

getting 3 garrotes in subterfuge takes priority with any shrouded suffocation traits

woeful hornet
#

thank you!

cobalt pelican
#

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

amber tiger
#

ahh

#

ev/td corruptions > bis stats?/

#

i dont have any other corruptions

cobalt pelican
#

yes almost certainly

amber tiger
#

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

cobalt pelican
#

what kind of results

amber tiger
#

the dps result numbers are really hih

#

high

cobalt pelican
#

generally multitarget patchwerk is kinda ok as long as you disable lust

#

but it's still not something you can rely on 100%

amber tiger
#

i did 5 bosses 1 1/2 min fight no buffs

#

results came up 106,043 dps

cobalt pelican
#

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

amber tiger
#

ahh okay

maiden raptor
#

Is it worth to crimson tempest on bossfights in m+? For an extra bleed or is that just wasted combo points

sturdy python
#

wasted CP

rigid mango
#

It doesn't give energy and deals less than env on ST

#

Used on 2t+

maiden raptor
#

aight ty

hollow haven
#

How much are you guys simming atm ?

arctic walrus
#

70-80 depending on corruption

maiden raptor
#

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 :)?

hollow haven
#

Used to sim 78k before the nerf

#

Now 70k only 😦

#

Boomy in the guild sim for 86k

#

Dafuk is this

drifting cloud
#

yeah with IS probably

hollow haven
#

Only 18k difference in sim

#

Yah 2 rank2

#

That's actually bullshit

arctic walrus
#

boomkin sims are always super inflated as well

hollow haven
#

So what are the bis corruption for us atm?

raw lotus
#

How much crit should i be aiming for for pure single target

dense blaze
#

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?

strange python
#

try and get some opinions on #feelcraft

dense blaze
#

No

fallow otter
#

@dense blaze the bis that hero damage has doesn't have np atm, for what it's worth

sly ferry
#

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+

vague rock
#

what's the correct time to use BotE in, for example, a 4+ target pull?

olive topaz
#

2nd pin from the top.

timber meadow
#

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?

arctic walrus
#

yes

pale verge
#

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?

inland gull
#

ttk is bad for m+ overall :D

ionic arrow
#

is there a site where I can see the meaning of rogue short cuts like Bote?

faint harness
#

Bad or just marginally worse

#

Bote is not a rogue thing

#

and its Blood of the enemy

ionic arrow
#

ah okay haha

inland gull
#

bote is assa wet dream in m+ push :p

scarlet urchin
#

the reason he's asking is probably because he didn't know what BotE was 😛

faint harness
#

yea but its not a rogue spell

#

There should probably be a pin with commonly used abbreviations

fallow otter
#

Like pepega

ionic arrow
#

@faint harness gonna check it!

faint harness
#

THere is none currently

fallow otter
#

Tbh, the general chat here isn't a bad place to ask

faint harness
#

@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.

jovial canopy
#

hey there everyone just curious is there generally a good trinket to use in m+ ?

faint harness
#

vial of torment or whatever its name is

#

coral from EP

jovial canopy
#

torment in a jar from xanesh?

faint harness
#

yea

jovial canopy
#

interesting. thanks for advice

fallow otter
#

@faint harness where can I get your trinket that sounds sweet

#

Is it on use?

faint harness
#

Yea

#

you throw black shadows on the ground

fallow otter
#

Flat agi?

faint harness
#

and they do dmg

#

sux for heavy movement tho

fallow otter
#

Is it legendary

faint harness
#

Could be

#

thats how broken it is

fallow otter
#

Scales with neck levels?!

faint harness

fallow otter
#

Dood, sign me up

faint harness
#

scarlet urchin
#

what trinket is that?

radiant seal
#

the R1 abreviation is for? i cant seem to pinpoint it in my head xD

#

nvm

#

rupture ofc

#

tribal marlin
#

I still enjoy font of power :3

radiant seal
#

tribal marlin
#

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

radiant seal
#

yeah its definately too rare atm

#

think i've seen 2 at max drop

tribal marlin
#

I'm 100% sure it has reduced drop rate in m+

#

I looted like 5 corrupted item from horrific vision

lyric glade
#

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

subtle tundra
#

Single target and dungeon traits are completely different

lyric glade
#

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?

scarlet urchin
#

anyone wanting to help me sim top gear?

idle cedar
#

Anyone who's smart here? 😬 I have some dps issues

vague rock
#

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

scarlet sequoia
#

@idle cedar what kind of dps issues

idle cedar
#

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

crimson palm
#

have you tried pressing more buttons?

idle cedar
#

I've tried everything hahaz

scarlet sequoia
#

do you have a sim you can link

idle cedar
#

Im am very new to sim 😅

shrewd night
#

!abb

prisma monolithBOT
brisk forge
#

You gotta be doing something very wrong with 17k dps

shrewd night
#

@faint harness

idle cedar
#

Yes, thats my point @brisk forge 😅

scarlet sequoia
#

aight so first of all

idle cedar
#

I've even downloaded addons for rotations

scarlet sequoia
#

your talents are a bit questionable

brisk forge
#

Check up the bacis on wowhead/ravenholth

lyric glade
#

Can som1 tell me what exaclty is lettming me sim 20k lower than e.g the other guy:

faint harness
#

@shrewd night wups

idle cedar
#

@brisk forge I used Icy-veins

scarlet urchin
#

@lyric glade one is patchwerk sim and one is dungeon slice sim, can't compare that at all

lyric glade
#

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!#

faint harness
#

@shrewd night Where are essence abbreviations? Bote, CLF, VOP

idle cedar
#

@scarlet sequoia I put talents according to icy-veins :<

crimson palm
#

@idle cedar EP MA

brisk forge
#

You cant have checked enough, your talents is way off

#

So go back and do it right 👍

crimson palm
#

Your shoulders also suck

brisk forge
#

And shit trinkets, essences

#

So work on that first

#

Dunno about your playstyle since u havent linked wcl

scarlet sequoia
#

can still want to optimize current gear as much as possible tho

brisk forge
#

Warcraftlogs*

scarlet sequoia
#

get better gear is quite terrible advise

gleaming viper
#

@lyric glade one sim is patchwerk, other is dungeon slice

brisk forge
#

Use topgear aswell, not Quicksim

pliant apex
#

is there a certain amount of corruption i shoudnt go over ? or always prefer corrupted gear with cloak 10?

brisk forge
#

Nah, gear will help with dps 🧐

scarlet sequoia
#

sure but it’s terrible advise none the less

brisk forge
#

But i am pretty sure is need to learn the Class/wow first

#

No its not lol

shrewd night
#

It is

pliant apex
#

im confused

outer hearth
#

so you want to do more dps? press your buttons correctly and get better gear

pliant apex
#

so should i go for all corruption

outer hearth
#

105% guaranteed

pliant apex
#

or should i limit corruption

scarlet sequoia
#

don’t go over 39 if you’re insecure

outer hearth
#

^

scarlet sequoia
#

59 if you can manage

crimson palm
#

59 for HC 39 for M

brisk forge
#

Well if your gear is fucked up ofc that will impact the dps output 🙄

shrewd night
#

'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.

crimson palm
#

You can't give an advise without seeing a log

#

He linked a sim which shows gear

outer hearth
shrewd night
#

You can give advise without logs, but the advice will be alot more specific and accurate with logs.

crimson palm
#

The generic stuff is there on icyveins

pliant apex
#

im confused stil sorry

#

so should i keep corruption to less than 70

scarlet sequoia
#

so you have a cloak

#

it gives resistance

shrewd night
#

don’t go over 39 if you’re insecure

scarlet sequoia
#

and an essence that gives resistance too

shrewd night
#

Cant get any clearer than this

outer hearth
#

if you go over 39 a dude will chase you and kill you

pseudo hamlet
#

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)

brisk forge
#

Not kill you insta tho, except if u’re Low on hp

outer hearth
#

bloodmallet has sims for best pieces

scarlet sequoia
#

it depends on your gear @pseudo hamlet

outer hearth
#

check it out

scarlet sequoia
#

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

pseudo hamlet
#

So, receiving a head from Ra-den is awesome.

#

(pun intended)

scarlet sequoia
#

yeah

crimson palm
#

The PvP chest heads are also pretty good

scarlet sequoia
#

same as ra-den head yeah

pseudo hamlet
#

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 🙂

lyric glade
#

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

young portal
#

Both Garrotes on the same target

lyric glade
#

thank you sir

jagged elk
#

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

quartz rune
#

Play as much as your comfortable playing with

#

Some people feel comfortable with up to 39 some with up to 59

faint trout
#

I’ve been using this opener too, but I’ve also wondered why are we casting garrotte twice so close to each other?

quartz rune
#

Some go even higher

#

Because u get the empowered Garrote only in "stealth"

scarlet urchin
#

to get a longer duration on the empowered garrote

quartz rune
#

So the first 3 globals are stealth as in u get max duration and max damage garrotes

faint trout
#

Ah ok that makes sense, thanks

quartz rune
#

U also dont wanna refresh the dot until it runs out if your running SS

faint trout
#

That’s only the empowered one tho right? So the one from opener and after vanish

quartz rune
#

Yes

faint trout
#

Cool, thanks

pliant apex
#

which site where to see bis gear

quartz rune
#

You can check icy veins but BiS really depends on ur Corruptions / stat weights etc so

tropic ocean
#

@jagged elk i run 60 corruption in m+

#

but if you're not confident surviving the things should go <

deep wedge
#

anyone using surging vitality ? how does the proc rate feel ?

spark sky
#

Pretty inconsistent. Had between 0-10% uptime yesterday on some early heroic bosses

keen dome
#

Same here, far from the optimistic 45% i simmed for...

deep wedge
#

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

winter gale
#

Is it still best to play with max 39 on progression?

#

Should I sacrifise 2k sim dps for that?

crimson palm
#

Best is whatever you can manage without being a burden on the team

idle ember
#

I think that's a personal accountability/how much your healers tolerate potential failure question.

winter gale
#

Yes, I get it.

idle ember
#

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.

winter gale
#

Thats what happened to me to be honest

#

I got 75 corruption infinite star

modest tendon
#

Rogues really do have a lot of ways of dealing with corruption no?

winter gale
#

Got ‘smeagoled’ by it and now I sucked badly for last raid day and I got benched for next progress.

modest tendon
#

Perhaps assa less so than outlaw

winter gale
#

Not all of us are of same skill I guess 😦

modest tendon
#

I like what your saying dude, survivability > dps on progression

#

Biggest dps loss is dying so

idle ember
#

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.

digital sphinx
#

Anyone have tips on how best to use razor coral on ilgynoth? Or even what happens to stacks when he "hides"?

quartz rune
#

Im 99%sure it stays on Boss if he hides

#

Cause he doesnt actually die

digital sphinx
#

Cool, at least I can formulate a strategy then. Thanks!

quartz rune
#

Timings all depends on ur Raids dps. But u still want to line it up as usual

#

@faint harness nah I'm fine we have

rigid mango
#

For that

atomic willow
#

can you vanish the slime focus on Shad'Har mythic to avoid that mechanic or you still have to run out?

arctic walrus
#

If you vanish it targets someone else

#

Which ain’t good

rigid mango
#

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

faint harness
#

the existing abbreviation isnt listing essences

rigid mango
#

Idk ask fuu to update it, even if it's pinned or in a command no one will use it

shrewd night
#

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.

faint harness
#

Only reason it was brought up cus someone was asking about the rogue ability "BOTE" and what it meant.

crimson palm
#

@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

kind eagle
#

Corrupted Items
Rogues’ Detection no longer builds Echoing Void.

#

you hate to see it

strange python
#

mythic plus its better 3 EB or 3 SS ?

#

I have items with 3 SS and 1 EB or 3 EB and 1 SS

white wyvern
#

3 SS

tired quiver
#

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?

quasi pewter
#

every vendetta

tired quiver
#

Cool thanks been doing that wrong then lol

strange python
#

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 weirdchampius

yea

in my last burst XD

You don’t run dispatch @scarlet sequoia ?

#

How accurate are dungeon slice sims?

crimson palm
#

@tidal dust your third vendetta window is suspicious

tidal dust
#

You mean regarding with TB?

red plaza
#

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

tidal dust
#

i was running with 60-80

red plaza
#

ah, the weapon corruption doesn't show on summary, but i see the appendages. thought you cleansed those for a second XD

tidal dust
#

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

valid sphinx
zinc coyote
#

Just trying to secretly git gud at rogue

tidal dust
#

!ui

zinc coyote
#

What the f does tb pooling mean?

valid sphinx
#

pooling energy before toxic blade casts

scarlet urchin
#

Pooling energy before TB to get more envenoms in

valid sphinx
#

to make sure you get lots of muts/ideally 3 envenoms out

#

during the TB debuff

zinc coyote
#

Fasho thank you

scarlet urchin
#

It seems you are playing subterfuge without any shrouded suffocation traits, that's one problem at least @valid sphinx

valid sphinx
#

sims higher single target atm

sturdy python
#

Yeah a lot of people are finding that to be true atm, same for me

valid sphinx
#

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

wild mural
#

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

valid sphinx
#

ahh i was thinking that didnt matter with subt that was probably part of it

scarlet urchin
#

Ah I see, I believe the opener is G-R-G for subterfuge?

wild mural
#

It still buffs garrote damage by 80%

valid sphinx
#

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

dark lily
#

in 5 of your tb windows you only got two envenoms

rigid mango
#

which is fine

valid sphinx
#

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

cobalt pelican
#

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

valid sphinx
#

hmm thats interesting insight thanks, i probably should throw up a weakaura to track elaborate i kinda forget about it

cobalt pelican
#

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

zinc coyote
#

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

valid sphinx
rigid mango
valid sphinx
#

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?

cobalt pelican
#

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

valid sphinx
#

ooh yeah i see what you mean that makes total sense

arctic walrus
#

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

cobalt pelican
#

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

valid sphinx
#

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

ashen solar
#

here

#

i simmed you

#

@valid sphinx

#

roughly a 2.5% gain over what you currently have

#

i'll sim again to test enchants/gems

valid sphinx
#

Huh interesting I must have some real odd gear on at the moment cause after EV nerf i was simming 64k

ashen solar
#

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

valid sphinx
#

ahh that might explain the low number

ashen solar
#

kk im doing a new sim

valid sphinx
#

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

ashen solar
#

can you link the simc string in here

#

if you're online right now

valid sphinx
#

gimme one sec im on the work laptop but i can grab it

Subt -200 DPS on ST

#

I should probably just switch to it completely no?

#

Since the only pure ST bosses are Maut and Dog

scarlet sequoia
#

and ilgynoth

crimson palm
#

You can pad on the blobes 😄

scarlet sequoia
#

ye but why would u pad

crimson palm
#

Would be a dps increase over MA

scarlet sequoia
#

highly doubt it but u do u bro

#

wouldnt go subterfuge without any ss traits unless its a like 500 dps increase

arctic walrus
#

You ain’t running it?

scarlet sequoia
#

doesnt sim higher

arctic walrus
#

Haste abuser man

#

Would ds be better for you

scarlet sequoia
#

i show u moment

#

im alrdy running ds

arctic walrus
#

Ah dope

arctic walrus
#

@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

crimson palm
#

I'm at 59% mastery, might be why

maiden raptor
#

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

valid sphinx
#

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

rigid mango
#

Do as the sim says @arctic walrus

#

Atleast on the first vanish, dunno I still think aligning is just better

tropic surge
#

should i mutilate the explosive orbs or just melee?

mighty elm
#

garrote and rupture it

crimson palm
#

ignore them

#

how do u guys play as sin in m+? what is our major damage in a tiranical week?

scarlet sequoia

poisoned knife

tropic surge
#

you guys are too funny

mighty elm
fair delta
#

how do u guys play as sin in m+? what is our major damage in a tiranical week?

Good question though

valid sphinx
#

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

mighty elm
#

or you have 7 tentacle traits and let it top for you smilers

arctic galleon
#

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

valid sphinx
#

as much as it physically hurts me to say it, i do think outlaw is better for high tyrannical keys 🤢

ornate gazelle

Anyone have a Blind target macro for Thing From Beyond?

valid sphinx
#

can't target macro it

if you could it would be /tar Thing /cast Blind though

ornate gazelle

contrary to popular belief though i do think assassination with the correct traits is actually better for high fortified keys

i think it too

3 ss 3 EB

someone can help me with logs? -.-" low envenom damage idk what doin bad ...

CT: The rest.

@sharp dust send some logs

wich is Tyr?

Tyrnaical

#

Like the affix

oh

i dont have a head with SS and EB

strange python
#

is vop considered good for sin?

rigid mango
#

Situationally for certain vend timers

#

It's also good for m+.

tender folio
#

And how do we feel about EV after the nerf ?

honest vessel
#

not bis st anymore but still decent and good on aoe

rigid mango
#

It's quite dogshit for all content

#

One of the worst you can possibly have for ST and at best mediocre.

strange python
#

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

honest vessel
#

its not good most of the time cuz using vendetta without vanish loses a lot of damage

rigid mango
#

You still want vanish with each vend.

#

And also stuff like font

#

Etc.

strange python
#

ah ok ty

honest vessel
#

im surprised to see the herodamage set doesnt use NP anymore

#

heart of darkness just that good?

white wyvern
#

HoD is good, but don't rely on HeroDamage either.

honest vessel
#

no ofc not always sim

white wyvern
#

ofc

honest vessel
#

just an interesting thingy

#

cuz thats a theoretical bis list right

#

thats kinda the point of the combinations tab

white wyvern
#

theoretical BiS doesn't really exist.

honest vessel
#

well

#

bis then

white wyvern
#

theoretical.
BiS doesn't really exist.***

honest vessel
#

i put theoretical because its not a list of items you should try to get

white wyvern
#

Was supposed to be two separate statements.

honest vessel
#

oh gotcha

tender folio
#

So are we supposed to roll with twilight devastation now for myth+ or those stat increase bonuses ?

latent gazelle
#

What sims best of whatever you have/can get

tropic ocean
#

deadly momentum became very good 😮

white wyvern
#

TD is pretty good.
A crit or mastery corruption is probably good too.
Take dungeon sims with a grain of salt.

tropic ocean
#

probably big in m+ too

ornate gazelle
#

Is there a guide somewhere that shows all the stuff that can be cheesed with Cloak and Cheat Death in Ny'alotha?

latent gazelle
#

Wowhead ny’alotha tips n tricks for sin maybe? Idk if those are bad or good tho

hallow coyote
#

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

crimson palm
#

On Ra-Den you'll probably use cloak for soaking

#

And you can cheese the big circle so the raid doesn't take dmg

vestal dagger
#

is the dungeon slice sim to be trusted as assassination? or ever? just curious

white wyvern
#

It can give you like a rough idea, but the answer isn't just simself like with ST.

vestal dagger
#

trying to choose between 440 spyglass and 470 harlan's

crimson palm
#

Sim 3 targets patchwerk for 1-2 min and you'll get a rough idea

vestal dagger
#

ty. the crit from spyglass seems pretty good with 3 EB.

raw monolith
#

is there any stats that favor Infinite stars stacking?

white wyvern
#

Haste, but simself

valid sphinx
#

470 harlans almost definitely beats a 440 spyglass in mythic plus me thinks

vestal dagger
#

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

white wyvern
#

Yeah I mean if it wins on 1 target it will win on anything above 1.

vestal dagger
#

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

rigid mango
#

Pretty much.

valid sphinx
#

no level of echoing void is worth the corruption it costs to wear it unless you have legitimately nothing else

valid sphinx
#

+15 corruption gushing wounds will do the same amount of damage as a max rank echoing void

solemn meadow
#

can anyone tell me

#

why this is possible?

#

my guild mate just now

valid sphinx
#

because blizzard is garbage

solemn meadow
#

I play arms and not one corruption does this absurd damage

#

😦

valid sphinx
#

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

ashen solar
#

Well

#

TA has such insanely high variance

#

That it's w/e

hallow coyote
#

People want a lot of cool, asymmetrical effects. Disparate effectiveness is baked right into that idea.

valid sphinx
#

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

solemn meadow
#

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

timber meadow
#

anyone using torment as assa?

#

seems pretty fucking legit - like 4/5% overall

vast forum
#

for m+?

ocean ore
#

for m+ in any affix (tyranical and fortified) sould i run 3 ss 2 EB and 1 ???, or have some setups for each afix?

hallow coyote
#

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.

white wyvern
#

3 SS 2 EB is good and is all you will need. 3 SS 3 EB is better.

ocean ore
#

even for tyranical 3 EB is that good?

velvet geyser
#

Still lots of trash in the places

white wyvern
#

Yes, pull fat. Big pump .

ocean ore
#

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?

rigid mango
#

Your setup changes dependant on dungeon more than affixes

feral flare
#

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.

rigid mango
#

On par to outlaw.

#

Just hard to gear it and optimise it

#

and not as simple to just rock in and make it work

feral flare
#

On par meaning its equal to outlaw?

rigid mango
#

Yus.

feral flare
#

That's good to hear.

subtle tundra
#

you need good gear tho

feral flare
#

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.

subtle tundra
#

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

tiny sierra
#

how do u sim corruption effects on raidbots?

subtle tundra
#

and traits is the most important thing for assa

rigid mango
#

You just put your gear into raidbots?

feral flare
#

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?

tiny sierra
#

i mean like to compare two corruption effects to see which one to cleanse?

rugged tundra
#

Sin is not on par with outlaw imo

feral flare
#

Yeah its BETTER.. right? RIGHT?! Lol...

rugged tundra
#

Am 2k io current saison as sin rogue and got hard time to follow my outlaw friend

tiny sierra
#

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

feral flare
#

Justin you can use raidbots to compare what your dps will be like without each effect to see which is the lesser one.

tiny sierra
#

ok cool thank you!

dense axle
#

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

rugged tundra
#

Look at morningwind/seli stream. They 80% of the Time last dps. Even tank compete with em on overall

tiny sierra
#

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

feral flare
#

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.

dense axle
#

you can easily wear both of htose corruptino effects

#

95 - 35 - 10 (BOTD) = 50 coirruption

rugged tundra
#

Celestron - i did. Im now outlaw. But to be Honest i prefer sin

dense axle
#

35 is rank 10 cloak

feral flare
#

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?

rugged tundra
#

Few k note

#

More*

feral flare
#

Hm. That doesnt seem like much.

rugged tundra
#

I changed to be on par with em

tiny sierra
#

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?

rugged tundra
#

We play sin/outlaw/ havoc

tiny sierra
#

sorry im just coming back after a while and these corruption effects are making my head spin a bit

dense axle
#

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

rugged tundra
#

Always finish third dps overall. Now its more equal

dense axle
#

when you NEED to be able to move (Xanesh soccer) or stack like raden

feral flare
#

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?

dense axle
#

gouge is pretty nice interrupt for some trash mobs

white wyvern
#

Sin can work just as well as Outlaw. Sin is just harder to optimize.

valid sphinx
#

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

rugged tundra
#

Dps / bte / stunt who dont need combo to use.

valid sphinx
#

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

rugged tundra
#

Exact

valid sphinx
#

plus my single target/2 target damage is significantly higher as outlaw compared to sin with AoE traits

rugged tundra
#

I feel like SS should have is nerf removed to be on par with other dps

tiny sierra
#

Thank you for your answers! Ill keep both effects for the raid tonight and see how it works out

rugged tundra
#

And with 3xSS 3xEb the single in tyr week is meh

valid sphinx
#

worse than meh i'd say, its pretty bad

rugged tundra
#

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

valid sphinx
#

Maybe subtlety is the play 😂

rugged tundra
#

Plus low haste make it quite boring

dire spoke
#

what if you're not supposed to outdps every single group member in any scenario

rugged tundra
#

Haha sub😂

#

I dont Ask to outdps. We Talking about the pro/cons of sin vs outlaw

#

Havoc have this right?

subtle tundra
#

havoc is beam beam fel barrage i do damage peophammer

rugged tundra
#

Fel barrage lol

#

Who use it

subtle tundra
#

a lot of people

#

for big pulls

rugged tundra
#

Il dont know em but i guess u right

rigid mango
#

With VoP minor it's got just fine boss damage

#

shrug a bit worse but nothing insane

mint echo
#

hey guys, for Nyalotha raid, what pre-pot do I want to use? Unbridled?

rugged tundra
#

Anyway i love sin. Its just not on par when u play with good player.

candid jacinth
#

hey all, my sims recommend taking heart of darkness over SS, is that a good idea?

subtle tundra
#

@rugged tundra it is.

#

i played with 3k+ players

white wyvern
#

You ever think you aren't playing it optimally?

#

@mint echo simself

rugged tundra
#

Hmm. Not the best for sure. But pretty sure am ok at 95%

subtle tundra
#

95% what

rigid mango
#

I mean you can chat all the shit you want

#

but seli can contest every good player in the world

honest vessel
#

its really not that bad

rugged tundra
#

Nah lol

rigid mango
#

and was top 5 rogue world last season

#

But you can keep saying sin isn't that good

rugged tundra
#

Idc

rigid mango
#

😄

#

I don't care about your argument either

honest vessel
#

its like a teir

rugged tundra
#

He play with god player

honest vessel
#

tier*

subtle tundra
#

wellllllllllll?

rugged tundra
#

Look their meter man

rigid mango
#

He is a god tier player?
