Monk tank im my guild has rank 1 mythic carapace dps. Lemme check what his dps was

ocean ore

tank of my core have t2 or 3

hollow bridge
#

oh hi infexious gaming! i love your videos

ocean ore
#

he does 60k dps hivemind mytic

gusty mirage

that's nuts lol

ocean ore
#

td was something like 50% he's damage omegalul

#

57k tank dps carapace mythic lol

gusty mirage
#

sick, your tank does more damage than 90% of my old guild did

#

will a T3 TA do the same dmg like one T2 + t1?

ocean ore
#

if the ilvl is the same, t2 + t1 = t3

shy axle
#

good to know regarding the ilvl, thanks

ocean ore
#

ilvl of damage corruption always change the damage done

subtle tundra
#

t2+t1 != t3 twisted appendage

#

t3 = 66 corruption

#

t2= 35

#

t1 = 10

#

t2 + t2 will be slightly better than t3

#

but t2 + t1 will be worse than t3

#

assuming they are all same ilvl

lean marten
#

coulda saved about 4000 years but i refreshed rupture 3 times oof

muted heart
#

Would 3 np 2 ss work for nuking bosses and elites in visions?

white wyvern
#

Yes.

#

Guys, on m+, are u playing with bote major even if it sims like 4k less than focused iris?

white wyvern
#

Yes.

#

You can't sim M+ well.

undone cipher
#

I was playing outlaw since last week so i had this doubt

#

On outlaw i was playing bote too

muted heart
#

Shhh or you will kick start the bote Vs iris argument lol

Xdd , no more questions ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Another doubt is if I have 2x scent of blood and 1xshrouded suff. ; on m+, are u applying gorrote and rupture to as many mobs as u can or how to do it the best way?

desert ether
#

So decided to shelf my geared warlock and go rogue the rest of this hideous expansion. Come Shadowlands I think I am going to make my rogue main

subtle tundra
#

you dont play scent of blood

ocean ore
#

@autumn girder is this Twilight devastation t1 your best belt? dont have anyone simming better?

autumn girder
ocean ore
#

try to sim conflict over vop

autumn girder
#

i did sim conflict with vop

subtle tundra
#

uhh 7 min sim?

autumn girder
#

5min better?

ocean ore
#

much better

subtle tundra
#

everybody sims 5

#

its the default

autumn girder
#

ah because 2 of my guildmembers simming 7 minutes thats why i chose that too

ocean ore
#

you have 2 np, maybe thats why your vop simc better

#

if your boss fight have 7 minutes duration, keep it

#

if not, try to use the real simc, thats my pov

#

haha

autumn girder
#

๐Ÿ˜„ but if its vop > conflict i just use my cds alone right?

ocean ore
#

if u dont use vop, delay blood with vendeta

#

But, if the sim say use vop, so use it

subtle tundra
#

considering the difference is 300 dps you can just play whichever you like

night vale
#

Missed the chat about it earlier but my Tier 2 TA displays excatly half the tooltip dmg of my Tier 3 TA (same ilvl)

So doesnt T2+T2 = T3 ?

hoary crown
#

is it really worth gambling for gorak tuls? got 6,4k atm the only other upgrade I can get is tentacle laced which is 0,5% compared to goraks 1%

autumn girder
#

ok ty ๐Ÿ™‚

strange python
#

fark ppl giving some shitty advice, just catching up on chat

#

run more corruption, upto 59, makes you a better player

paper relic
#

Is it worth to run sin in 16-17 keys without EB? I can get 3x SS but I have no EB/SS pieces at all. I would have to run 2xSS, EB/Scent of blood on another. I feel I suck at outlaw because I hate it, but I can't get the pieces I want for assasination :x

strange python
#

like weight training in dbz

ocean ore
#

xd

subtle tundra
#

comparing weight training to wow Weirdchamp

strange python
#

just run triple SS+combination of twist with 1 NP

white wyvern
#

@paper relic 1 EB is not worth. I have been running pretty scuffed traits (2 SS, 1 NP, then random other shit) and still pulling 70k-80k DPS depending on dungeon.

strange python
#

ahh twitch emotes

subtle tundra
#

ok you're one of those

strange python
#

what, good players?

paper relic
#

Alright I'll try that. Thanks

subtle tundra
#

oh boy

#

keep it in your pants

paper relic
#

@white wyvern are you running PB or CT? I guess it depends on dungeon, but last time I tried CT I didn't hate it at all

supple monolith
#

do you guys know the wa/addon thats shows you witch pots are good for the visions?

white wyvern
#

CT this week except in KR and SoB.

paper relic
#

What changes in those? Less movement?

white wyvern
#

SoB most packs have like 1 or 2 prio targets then the rest are low health so CT not worth.
KR there is just too much emphasis on bosses and prio damage is important.

paper relic

Makes sense, thanks for the answers

i wouldn't buy it personally

dont buy IS

leaning on infinite stars as your output-enabling corruption is something you're forced into, not something you aspire towards

Do I hold second vendetta for vanish to come back up if I play subterfuge?

red plaza
#

Well TD was never that good for ST patchwerk

peak juniper
#

How is outlaw viewed as the better m+ spec? I put together an outlaw set even with the top simming azerite traits for it and its single target dps is like 10-15k lower than my sin st, and it's cleave is like borderline equal if not lower than my sin's garrote ss build

gusty mirage
#

because vanish isn't a dps cooldown, you don't really need to open from stealth so chaining becomes easier, blade flurry makes explosives a joke w/o losing any dps at all on your target, gouge + a ranged kidney shot

#

if you gear it right, your ST damage won't be 10k-15k lower than an assa m+ build

peak juniper
#

just feel like that requires a heavy investment into outlaw then though

#

most m+ grps i been in too don't chain so fast that im not able to get a stealth in

balmy dome
#

Not to mention if you're doing higher keys, your garrote build won't even come close when you start doing 6+ mob pulls

red plaza
#

What investment? Get one wits, and then fill the rest with dead shot and ace and youโ€™re golden for every affix/dungeon

gusty mirage
#

gearing outlaw is stupidly easy this tier because all the raid gear has the traits you'd need for m+

peak juniper
#

i have tohse yet was only doing like 40k st

#

where as assass i push like 50-60k

#

and thats with my m+ build

gusty mirage
#

I don't know enough about outlaw to really know what could be causing that, but I'd assume it has something to do with the rtb logic

balmy dome
#

that and holding BTE when you shouldn't etc.

peak juniper
#

BTE?

balmy dome
#

it's normally one of 3 things, holding BTE when you shouldn't, managing deadshot procs, and reroll logic.

#

between the eyes

red plaza
#

Probably log a few dungeons in outlaw and assassin and post em in the channels

peak juniper
#

should reroll always to get 2+ buffs unless u get shark buff right

balmy dome
#

Basically. But check outlaw pins.

gusty mirage
#

I believe if you're running 3x deadshot one broadside is fine

balmy dome
#

Especially if youโ€™re stacking dead shot.

gusty mirage
#

but I'd ask in #outlaw because I'm awful at outlaw ๐Ÿ˜„

brisk forge
#

is stars better in fights than sims? cuz another combo of corr is simming 1k better but i got a 430 r2 stars today

subtle tundra
#

Low ilvl stars is shit

#

And stars is only good on purely st fights

undone cipher
#

It scales with the ilvl

rigid mango
#

And no, it's even worse in fights than it sims ๐Ÿ˜„

undone cipher
#

@gusty mirage maybe dont 10-15k but 5k at least for sure

#

I was outlaw but in st is so hard to sim more than assa

honest vessel
#

their dmg are v close, sometimes one will pull ahead. the nature of m+ is diverse pulls. outlaw is considered better for its utility. Gouge, BTE + prey on the weak, leech ffom buff sometimes, hook > step, shorter cd on hook and sprint, ranged melee, little difference between st and mt builds, better cd for packs, riposte is slightly better evasion

vast forum
#

riposte isn't better than evasion tho

#

there are attacks you can dodge but not parry

#

but not the other way around

honest vessel
#

but riposte does that DMG

faint harness
#

big dmg

honest vessel
#

but i didnt now that, what can u dodge without parrying?

vast forum
#

that's not very important compared to being able to evasion the axe on 3rd boss KR or the shot on korgus

honest vessel
#

ur right those r nuts

vast forum
#

generally ranged attacks can be dodged but not parried

#

you can't parry random shots from "archer" mobs usually but you can dodge them

honest vessel
#

interesante

#

i have learned

fathom wyvern

why does it feel like this sim isnt accurate?

#

0 DD traits simming highest?

480 EB SS, 480 SS TTK, 475 SS HoD vs 480 EB SS, 450 EB HoD, 475 SS HoD; for this week?

#

the 480 EB can be a NP

tacit pebble
#

i'd do the first one

high nacelle
#

ilvl is big but 1 EB seems lack lustre

strange python
#

3 ss is hugelier than 3 eb i think

high nacelle
#

and 3 SS 0 EB 1 NP bigger than 3 SS 1EB or 2SS 2EB then?

strange python
#

you know what

#

sim patchwerk 6 targets 40sec without bloodlust

high nacelle
#

ok

strange python
#

@high nacelle what did you decide on?

high nacelle
#

less than 1% in it, going to try various durations

honest vessel
#

1 eb isnt v worth it

#

1 np is import tho

high nacelle
#

on Tyrannical it was a no brainer

#

just sucks not having access to more than one EB atm

#

when would we FoK with 0 EB?

gusty mirage
#

I believe it's 4 or more mobs

white wyvern
#

still finish tho

high nacelle
#

yeh

#

thanks

whole mantle
#

Why peaples using BoTE and not CLF ?

strange python
#

sims better for some people

#

is nicer to use too

whole mantle
#

I do not know, but I think that in a smaller fight, will use 1 CLF should be better BoTE?

cobalt pelican
#

if the fight is <1min30 yea

honest vessel
#

2x bote >>> 1x clf

cobalt pelican
#

eh, not always

tacit pebble
#

your bote is also losing value because of master assassin vs subterfuge

#

overcapping on crit during bote window with MA

cobalt pelican
#

in the majority of gear setups i've seen clf edges bote at most fight lengths but bote has some real world benefits, like on demand burst, more flexible timing wise, FREE instant aoe in some situations

whole mantle
#

make sense

tacit pebble
#

with subterfuge talented its a much more normal 300ish dps difference between clf and bote

cobalt pelican
#

even the people who have bote simming the highest it's rarely by much

honest vessel
#

wow im surprised

tacit pebble
#

yea, the other benefits from bote make it worth the 300ish sim loss for most

whole mantle
#

Top gear tell me to change some itens for versa itens but i loss a lot o critical :/

#

i'm with 1535 now

#

with the top gear 1010

idk if worth it hahaha

also big weakness about c lf is 3 minute cds arent greatest

which trinkets are you using for 5maskruns with 3 ss/3Np and exang? Read something about the mechagon with beam + font (?)

i did

just wanted to see if anyone here had a differing opinion

there is no bis ?

distant cypress

there is no such thing as bis this expansion pretty much except gushing wound corruption. The more you gear up the more your stat weights are going to change, your bis essences for that moment etc, it shifts so much you pretty much sim daily

this expansion should've been called simcraft of azeroth

i can only sim my stats, how should i sim for other things ?

Clf, wv, bote, botd all have usage for raid majors

Simming infinite stars seems like its so good, but in every fight in the new raid it feels like hot garbage when it procs on adds i havent touched or even proccing and breaking my blind on grand delusions... Anyone else feel the shitty rng of infinite stars?

drifting cloud
#

well depends how much higher it sims than your other stuff

#

is it 2k, id wear the other stuff

#

is it like 6k like for me

#

Im wearing IS

#

even when it doesnt do that good its still decent, but yes depends on the fight

frigid briar
#

Only fight Id say Infinite stars isnt the best (rank 4 475itmlvl) is hivemind and Nzoth

high mantle
#

even M Drest'agath ? ive seen some people using it on the logs, but having so many adds all the time with little uptime on actual boss im hesitant, i have some other options but nothing that sims close to it lol

frigid briar
#

Ahh yeah not drestagth, that boss is just a clown fiasco. Just run breath of the dying and stay on adds. Infinite is poop there aswell

high mantle
#

for sure

arctic walrus
#

IS is actually quite nice on nzoth because it gives you a lot of damage in the final phase

lost wharf
#

Sim is telling me to go triple NP and vop minor

lusty narwhal
#

Lol

frigid briar
#

We cant get to final phase yet. We like 1 minute from chamber phase

hallow kraken
#

so with vop minor how does that affect rotation ?

#

it messes w/ the lineup with vanish so im just wondering how people use it in raid

honest needle
#

How does vision major work for assasination

#

I see rogues using vision major now for soem fights

harsh sphinx
#

๐ŸŽฃ for NP procs

honest needle
#

so we just do normal rotation ?

#

@harsh sphinx

hallow kraken
#

and do we hold vendetta for vanish ?

strange python
#

I like running subterfuge with vop major, use both vend and vanish on cd except situations where adds spawn soon and you hold vanish to get multiple subt garrotes up

honest needle
#

but like for first boss is vision major best option

#

or is clf better

strange python
#

I don't think CLF is great on wrathion unless your guild's kill time is super slow

grim mason
#

is hoD the go to for single target aka raid?

languid sail
#

Would you guys cleanse t3 ev?

quasi pewter
#

if the piece is an upgrade without the corruption on it yes of course

#

@grim mason single target can always easily be simmed, HoD is very strong

honest needle
#

so whats the trick with vision major

#

or is rotation the same

quasi pewter
#

no trick

grim mason
#

So i dont know how to read logs stumbled on it once where I could see what the top rogue cast sequence where on raid bosses, Can anyone navigate me to that point?

cobalt pelican
#

casts and timelines

#

you can plot stuff from taables too

#

but generally a timeline is easier to read

strange python
#

wowanalyzer also does it pretty well

grim mason
#

ok thank you guys

honest needle
#

so rotation dont change at all for vision major am i correct ?

vocal ginkgo
#

is the mecha ring set with the 3 different abilities + haste a lot behind the backstab + haste or basicly the same?

grim mason
#

@honest needle i dont think it would change its simply reducing the cool down on vandetta right?

#

@honest needle and as a major is has a chance to proc vendetta I would asusme useing wa to trck whenit procs

coarse carbon
#

Sorry for the silly question here- been gone 9months... Are sin rogues still stacking crit > haste > mastery in m+ when stacking EB?

How many of you guys have replaced your mythic fonts so far? Finally getting a sim that says higher

marble hemlock

Replaced it the moment I got hc vita

latent pagoda
#

Hey so first time asking a question but I've been scrolling through for a few weeks. As Assassination rogue, glimpse of clarity is good or have i been misreading this? I'm looking for which corruptions i should target.. I have 2 ranked 2 twisted appendage one on weapon and the other on my boots. Should I be looking to change anything? the mind flay normal hits are 20k

arctic walrus
#

glimpse is pretty bad, gushing wound is best, followed by expedient. mindflay is good though, having 3 is fine

oblique smelt
#

i don't know the name of most of them which one is expedient?

#

is that the haste proc or the increased haste or something?

arctic walrus
#

haste %

#

Hey guys, new to the discord. Does anyone know about the 3x Nothing Personal + VoP Major build? I currently run 3x DD, 1 Blightborne, 1 NP, 1 HoD with BotE major. Deciding which one is more effective

#

Vita + 445 Coral trinkets

latent pagoda
#

Thanks for the input guys, I'm sure ill have more questions and I appreciate it!

arctic walrus
#

just sim yourself

primal yoke
#

They sim about the same, but the 3x NP + VoP major build seems like it might be more consistent in reality. So much NP damage

arctic walrus
#

a VoP build seems more consistent to you?

primal yoke
#

It just doesnt seem as dependent on crit chance

cobalt pelican
#

np can still crit

#

you'll just have less of it

#

generally if you have a build that sims the same as vop but isn't vop it's probably the play to not play vop unless for killtime reasons

latent pagoda
#

what does VoP stand for?!

cobalt pelican
#

vision of perfection

latent pagoda
#

thank you

#

tryign to learn the rogue lingo! lol

primal yoke
#

I saw this on the pinned messages, but it seemed like it was pinned back in EP so I am checking for 8.3. Sin rogues still pop coral on every vendetta right?

drifting cloud
#

yes

#

except the 1st obviously

primal yoke
#

and if you are running BotE + coral...do you pop both of them on Vendetta?

oblique smelt
#

Will we ever get to replace Coral PepeHands

arctic walrus
#

no

cobalt pelican
#

they'll both be during vend, coral will cover all of it and bote will generally be aligned to the tb inside vend

primal yoke
#

Cool, and when do you choose CLF over BotE major?

#

when it sims higher by a decent margin, fits fight time for the fight you're planning to play (3:30, <1:30, etc) and you know there's no aoe likely to happen

primal yoke
#

Is pooling energy still worth it, or not so much these days?

grim mason
#

@primal yoke yes...should be envonoming 70+ energy

#

so if you arent spamming enven when it comes of cd you should be pooling till it 70 or more energy I believe

primal yoke
#

so even if you are at 10 energy when you get 4-5 CP, do you wait until 70 to use env?

grim mason
#

i mean envenom cost 35

peak jungle
#

debating using my residuum for AoE pieces for M+. Most of the gear doesn't seem to be much better than heroic azerite pieces

grim mason

but yes wait for 70+ to envenom

unkempt solstice
#

Rogue feels really ruff to play, in comparison to the other melee classes I play (Warrior\DH\Druid) for the same amount (or less) in dps.

#

Really feels like they have nothing going for them

#

I guess the damage output is very sustainable? compared to others.

fallow otter
#

Raid?

#

Have you got decent Azerite and essences? Rogues are fine

unkempt solstice
#

Yeah, raid, seems like we lost all utility in M+ too, with the new boss mechanic thing.

#

just feels clunky to me.

grim mason
#

Rogues are just fine we havent lost anything, feeling clunky to you how and why. The new M+ affix is ok our utility is still a go to for many dungeons if anything now it helps more since with shroud we canlline up skips with oblisks?

strange python
#

Do you pool energy outside of about to tb?

grim mason
#

if you click on pins at the top of this page and scroll down a bit you will see a discusions on energy pooling, it may help

#

the section where they go over the opener for M+ with CT and without CT

fallow otter
#

@unkempt solstice i guess that is just personal opinion but I don't get that at all. We didn't lose any utility for m+ you can still use rogue only things for the new affix

storm perch
#

Opinion is based on feelings and conjectures. @unkempt solstice Have you played rogue, mean assa rogue?

rigid mango
#

Assa isn't top tier but it isn't bad. It feels awk and not as good as other melee classes/ranged classes in a lot of situations, regardless it'd still great.

raw dove
#

I have a shitload of Haste on my gear. Simming my stats give me Vers 1 Mastery 2 in stat weight. Is this standard beheavior ?

storm perch
#

there are no standart behaviour. Every single rogue will be simmed in different stat weights. It's all depends on many conditions. For ex, my top stat was always crit, nowadays it's become haste. So i would recommend: do what bot sais, but with a little analyze.

raw dove
#

Thanks. Yes that's why I asked. Maybe too much Haste on gear dampen its value and place other stats on the top

storm perch
#

i heard ppl with IS got haste always on top stat

fallow otter
#

@raw dove do you have a sim handy?

storm perch
#

but it's better to sim yourself always

Yes that's good but some drop some EB for some dungeons like KR

@echo night depends on affix, encounters

Is coral + torment the best trinket combo?

latent wraith
#

Torment is horrible trinket

storm perch
#

i guess coral + vita is the best

latent wraith
#

god dang i hate that thing

storm perch
#

but still viable coral + font

#

if we talk about st

echo night
#

I got a galecallers boon at 475 aswell but i dont wanna have 2x use trinkets

fallow otter
#

I tried it with font, full fire mage style, it wasn't bad but I hated it and my usual combo is better

echo night
#

Which is?

#

Coral+spyglass?

#

Torment sims high for dungeonslice tho :S

latent wraith
#

my 460 torment hits like a wet noodle

#

and pulls everything like td

fallow otter
#

Mythic version is nice, I like it

storm perch
fallow otter
#

I'd say it's all he has and it's not bad as a major just not as good as the others, if you have them

storm perch
#

get bote in major, if you have it rank 3

latent wraith
#

what are you guys simming for dungeonslice

#

my 440 dh sims higher

#

woops wrong gear

storm perch
#

even breath of the dying will be much better in major, than lucid

#

what are you guys simming for dungeonslice
@latent wraith assa can't be simmed in dslice

fallow otter
#

Yeah needs rk3 tho

storm perch
#

it's all about feelycraft

latent wraith
#

I can't find good numbers for mythics

#

Do you guys run bote or iris for mythics

fallow otter
#

@latent wraith m torment did 4.9% on m vex

#

For reference

latent wraith
#

i get like 3-4% in a mythic+

fallow otter
#

Outlaw though

#

Not happy with 4%?

#

That's good

#

Or just annoying that it pulls the world haha

storm perch
#

Do you guys run bote or iris for mythics
@latent wraith bote ftw

#

what are good numbers you searching?

latent wraith
#

50k overall at end

#

I get smashed usually

raw dove
#

@raw dove you should get rid of haste. Get crit/versa enchants. Lucid never should be in major slot. Only minor
@storm perch Yes ty Im working on Bote right now. Also working on level 12 cloak. Char is not optimized at all im switching main. I know my dps is very low for my Ilvl

storm perch
#

what azerite pieces do you have?

storm perch
#

for aoe, at least, you should have tripple SS

latent wraith
#

i have two td'/ one rank 1 one rank 2

storm perch
#

well

#

you have double dose

#

no double dose in m+

#

get 3ss

#

than depends on affix, you may get rather 3 eb/ or something like ttk/np/hod

#

in current affix i would go 3eb/ 2eb +ttk/hod

#

residuum casino ftw

#

make lucid at least rank 2, get VoP

latent wraith

Guys 2 stupid questions

#

First one, about what depends the combo regeneration? I mean sometime with 1 skill I get 4 cp, sometimes 2

tacit plaza
#

Second one, with this unpredictable cp regeneration, how can I do it to avoid waste cp?

#

Must I use envenom with 3 cp?

latent wraith
#

no

#

multiate

#

dont posion knife or muti at 4 tho

#

if you overcap due to crit

#

no big deal

storm perch
#

First one, about what depends the combo regeneration? I mean sometime with 1 skill I get 4 cp, sometimes 2
@tacit plaza read your passive. Your crit may give you more cp

tacit plaza
#

Ok

#

But then how can I avoid the waste of CP?

latent wraith
#

you cant

storm perch
#

boom at 4... sometimes

#

depends on situation

#

just try to not waste cp when you are ready to use tb

tacit plaza
#

Ok

latent wraith
#

im off to bed

storm perch
#

@latent wraith get 3 ss, find eb gear. Get rank 2/3 VoP and Lucid

latent wraith

u talking 3 eb 3 ss gear?

at current affix yes

I guess more vendettas and playing subterfuge you donโ€™t need to line up vendetta and vanish. Having them desynced is not bad

Don't use it on Vexiona, there're other classes who can handle the adds

Your job is to pump the last phase

and you don't want pp there

dire terrace
#

I dont have bote or CNS (its an alt thats now my main kinda) so i cbf farming it again im running breath, iris, lucid and WV (maybe flame)

#

are they ok

storm perch

pretty decent

dire terrace

ez ty

but ye, vexiona maybe not a good choice

it's all up to your raid

for pp

yeah pp performs like dog shit on outlaw wasnt sure about raid for sin though

#

i dont like it on the rogue

potent raft
#

in visions solo, do you go for cheat death elusivness or leeching poison? I have the feeling that leeching would have the most constistent value

faint harness

afaik we dont trigger our own cheat death if we die

it takes the trees

right?

yes

but the 2nd time you die (if) it triggers

Hi guys, sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you get the best use out of BotE in m+? Do I use it first and then garotte on as many mobs as possible, or do I get garotte up on as many mobs as possible then BotE then FoK spam with envenoms?

The second but with more ebs and mobs you spam only fok

Dropping one ruiounouss bolt trait(aprox 700 st dps) for an echoing blades (gain aprox 2k dps aoe) to run through whole ny'alotha and not have to reforge for m+?

heady talon
#

Thanks!

subtle tundra
#

Ny'alotha aoe as assa is more padding than anything

faint harness
#

i do wonder, was that ever not the case

#

there are bosses with adds that definitely need to die, but should an assa rogue really spec into it

subtle tundra
#

I mean doing aoe is other classes job

#

Having an assa do aoe is kinda last resort

#

In hc I just run full st without ever changing and still parse 90+ on the aoe bosses like hive mind and carapace

crimson palm
#

@faint harness 3x SS & sub felt pretty satisfactory when you save vanish for the darters ๐Ÿ˜„

#

And then with every re-clear they just evaporate in <10s ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

faint harness
#

i personally dont count SS into the pad territory

#

since its good boss dmg too

turbid osprey
#

Do you multidot on those bosses @subtle tundra? Spreading ruptures for example? Or just yolo ST

tropic ocean
#

Except hivemind is not pad cuz adds are #1 priority

#
  • having big ravager dmg with vendetta + 3x ss ๐Ÿ˜‰
crimson palm
#

Tbh as we're getting gear it doesn't even feel that important

#

It just dies

faint harness
#

thats mythic progress for you

crimson palm
#

corruptions are the bigger impact

faint harness
#

and it has to be that way, i wouldnt play farm if it was like doing prog-like kills every week

crimson palm
#

like 4-5 td's stacked and the small ones can be ignored totally

#

idd

#

Do you get more emp garrote dmg if you extend duration on primary target during a vendetta window, or if you garrote a third target?

slim estuary
crimson palm
#

You're doing ok considering the gear you have

slim estuary
#

Rotation isn't much different to antorus?

minor garden
#

So

#

Back to my question, stay with ruinous bolt for 700 extra ST dps is the answer then?

#

Its the only shittalent i got on that row or echoing blades

faint harness
#

you know what the loss/gain is, cant play the game for you. If you dont care about 700 dps ST then play EB and vice versa.

minor garden
#

Yea I just ant to know what other ppls choice would have been

#

Want

crimson palm
#

Your opener is wrong @slim estuary

#

I'm checking the Maut log

#

I'm pretty sure MA is simming higher than you

#

You're also not entering your TB windows properly

#

You want to be at 4+CP and ~80+ energy

#

So you can fit in at least 2 ideally 3 envenoms

#

You didn't even use vanish in the fight

summer valve
#

if you don't want to reforge for m+ i would just go EB @minor garden 700 dps is not gonna be the diff between killing a boss and not, unless you're trying to parse or something

#

and RB is a bad choice in keys, it can break CCs and agro tentacle on last boss siege early

minor garden
#

@summer valve thx for ur opinion

slim estuary
#

You didn't even use vanish in the fight
@crimson palm Yeah, pretty sure my button got sticky on my mouse so I gave up on that fight

#

Could you explain how to correct my opener. I was still working off antorus where you use TB on CD

crimson palm
#

Check the pinned posts

storm perch
#

@slim estuary change your azerite traits, regarding what raidbot sais

minor garden
#

Do echoing blades change at how many mobs i use fok insteaf of mutilate?

crimson palm
#

With MA It's Mut Rup Mut Gar Vendetta Tb Vanish Env Mut Env etc.

ocean ore
#

@south sapphire on m+ with 3 EB you use fok at 2 adds more

storm perch
#

almost 2k dps increase

ocean ore
#

in raid.... with 1 eb, maybe 3-4

slim estuary
#

@storm perch rule of thumb, what is the correct traits to use

crimson palm
#

ST: 3x DD 1x NP, Overwhelming Power & HoD

storm perch
#

@storm perch rule of thumb, what is the correct traits to use
@slim estuary sim yourself

crimson palm
#

But sim yourself

ocean ore
#

@slim estuary you should sim it, but Double dose, Nothing personal and Heart of darkness going very well

#

if u have it

storm perch
#

it's not like goto thing

#

you should understand how each trait works

#

but seems, if you change a bit - 2k dps up

#

in top gear you may choose traits

mystic fractal
#

If you accidentally get to 5cp as TB is coming up, should you just use it and eat the lost combo points or spend then rebuild to 3+ before using?

#

Gut feeling says holding it is worse than a few wasted CPs

#

Best case itโ€™s held 2s and even then youโ€™re probably low energy to not get 3 env in the window too

Thanks everyone, I just simmed my traits and changed a few around

Anyone got the macro for the thing from beyond?

old escarp
#

Papa you still use TB on CD (unless vend is a few seconds away then hold) I think itโ€™s more that we have enough downtime where you can plan ahead and have the CP and energy ready for when TB comes off CD. But yes you are correct TB on CD like antorus

ocean ore
#

@rocky ruin you cant use a macro to target it, mouse over only

rocky ruin

Is Potion of Focused Resolve or Unbridled Fury better for Sin Rogues?

Do a quick sim and check what sim is using

primal yoke
#

Its using Focused Resolve, but everyone on logs is using Unbridled Fury

cobalt pelican
#

you're simming 6 minutes for some reason even

#

but yes generally rogue will be lower than dh

#

especially a dh stars sim

storm perch
#

botbait!

cobalt pelican
#

unbridled is better for most builds, you can just check both pots out in the sim though

#

the sim will by default use the potion in the default profile which is crit regardless of gear

#

so it's best to just check for your own character

glass trench
#

Yeah was simming 6 min cause most of the fights are really long in mythic ๐Ÿ˜„

white wyvern
#

Well you can't compare DPS of different sim settings.

maiden raptor
#

So i checked warcraftlogs and did i miss something or did bote just get used alot more or better in the past few days? Cause it's like the top major essence on allmost every fight

#

monkahmm feel like that wasn't there when i checked last time

storm perch

bote used in major even in legion

Okay, Iam dumb xD

hidden blades on carapacepeepostudy

#

is it good choice?)

odd heath
#

for padding on carapace hc, yes, with 3 echoing blade traits

#

adds spawned? Bote > multiple foks until all adds die > profit

storm perch
#

well 20 times? i guess they will die way more faster)

odd heath
#

They die really fast

#

5-10sec casting. but it is just padding, to get nice logs.. totally not needed lol

true pelican
#

the stacks get used up in one go

royal lantern
#

^ its a buff that stacks up on dmg but uses all stacks at once

#

so its either a BIG FoK cast or a 20%fok dmg increase

storm perch
frigid briar
#

Stacking echo blade wont get you a good parse on carapace unless you tell everyone to not dps adds at all in any phase

#

You wanna go full ST and cleave when possible with something like Bote> drestagath trinket, pre channel font before big adds come or some other cheesey bullshit

#

Your main loss of damage will be how you play P2 as putting up bleeds that dont tick full duration can be a result in DPS loss over just envenon

#

Also running ahead in P2 and nuking the clusters of growths solo helps

crimson palm
#

Dafuq you talking about, literally all padders in top100 are stacking eb

spark oyster
#

most likely because the adds don't die instantly / they get 2 add waves in p3

#

which allows you to get way more value out of eb

#

if the adds die insta like they should in any good group it's a bit pointless to stack eb imo

sullen pagoda
#

Its because top 100 is letting the guy pad or boost run with half the ppl afking

#

15 ppl doing nothing does wonders for logs

royal lantern
#

^

#

just remember what top logs means most of the time

#

in legion fury warrior top logs was basicly

crimson palm
#

his statement was that stacking ebs wont get you a good parse

royal lantern
#

19people stop doing dps, warrior execute for 10min

crimson palm
#

even padding with EBs casually will get you 95+

spark oyster
#

going full ST gets you to 95+

sullen pagoda
#

I mean 95 is irrelevant in hc

#

Well anything is irrelevant in hc but ye

shrewd night
#

Thats a question of definition. If you got a high orange from padding, I still wouldnt classify that as a good parse.

minor garden
#

why do ppl use vision of perfection as minor? sims worse then a rank 2 essence for me

royal lantern
#

its good on some fights for that blood+vendetta overlap

#

wrathion as an example

crimson palm
#

@shrewd night obv, but the statement above was that stacking that shit wouldn't give you a good parse

frigid briar
#

Its not a good parse

royal lantern
#

with vision you can use vendetta+blood everytime he is on the ground, without vision vendetta comes off cd when he is not a target

shrewd night
#

But it wont..

#

By my definition anyways.

frigid briar
#

Pretty sure my statement was, it wont get you a good parse unless everyone ignores adds

minor garden
#

okay

#

so if the timing of vendetta is real bad without it

#

it is good

crimson palm
#

The top rogue log as several people with 99+ logs, do you think any of those ignored ads?

storm perch
#

sounds weird, like you, you and you - just hit the boss, rogue assa.... come to me boy... pick your echo blades/hidden blades, let's do for you orange logs....Weirdchamp

crimson palm
#

You can just cast FoK a few times when adds swarm and that easily gets you 300k+ dps for several seconds

frigid briar
#

Lol

crimson palm
#

Ignoring adds for 30s btw

sullen pagoda
#

Why is there even discussion about hc fight

scarlet swift
#

All parses matter

shrewd night
#

Heroic

sullen pagoda
#

Hc parses oof

frigid briar
#

Its pretty dumb

crimson palm
#

The point was, you can stack EB and get a high parse on the boss by padding on the adds. That's all

frigid briar
#

Cant you just ignore tenticles in p1 and get thousands of adds then wait till twilight procs?

shrewd night
#

The point was, you can stack EB and get a high parse on the boss by padding on the adds. That's all

sullen pagoda
#

Possible

shrewd night
#

Yes, and the entire point was that it wouldnt be a good parse

#

High parse does not mean good parse.

crimson palm
#

How do you even define good parse in heroic ๐Ÿ˜„

storm perch
#

grey parse does not mean bad parse?)

shrewd night
#

I mean, you were the one who brought up heroic..

scarlet swift
#

You donโ€™t define heroic parses at all, thatโ€™s how you define it

crimson palm
#

Stacking echo blade wont get you a good parse on carapace unless you tell everyone to not dps adds at all in any phase

frigid briar

Okay

This is like the dumbest shit ever.

#

any1 can suggest a bursty set up for drest. I was consiering 3 ss with exg but sims assumes tht ill be starting stealthed an not using vanish for my openers

frigid briar
#

3 double dose 3 heart of darkness. Swap in NP if your big tenticles live 20 seconds or your doing boss damage with cds

#

Run breath essence rank 3 as major

shut garnet
#

3HoD doesnt seem bursty

#

why not 1np 1bbi 1hod?

frigid briar
#

You dont need bursty, you just go clockwise around the room hitting shit that lights up orange. Use breath when anove 80% then 2 seconds before it dies

#

Depends why and what he needs the burst for. I just doubt he needs as much burst has he thinks he does. I could be wrong

#

The fights more about not falling behind the waves with consistant dps

hey guys which potions do we use as assa? force or resolve?

Do you use vop minor with bote?

U stealth garrote cuz it deals more damage u dont have to shroud

Only speccd into subterfuge tho

#

With MA u go ham

#

@minor garden Unless I misunderstand your question - if people talk about "shrouded" when it comes to dps/opener it's generally referring to the shrouded suffocation trait, not actually using shroud

Vanish shroud to give all rogues new burst

#

No, you don't enter true stealth in shroud

#

not even on pull afaik

quasi scroll
#

Ah

worldly sandal
#

So looking at my raidbots sim, its showing to only use garrotte from stealth, and in my unstealthed rotation only use mutilate, rupture and envenom. Is this correct? This is with one SS trait.

#

I guess mutilate is more bang per energy spent?

What do you mean exactly? Garrote should be maintained 100% of the time on single target

hollow stone
#

Yea, you absolutely want to be maintaining garr during the fight

worldly sandal
#

ah my bad. i looked over it in the raidbots rotation

hollow stone
#

Just dont overwrite your ss empowered garr w a normal garr

worldly sandal
#

it was waaaaaaaaaaay down the rotation

eager barn
#

what is the time-left point where clipping garrote is ok? (not an empowered garr)

hardy wind
#

so to piggyback on that, it's better to let an empowered garrote fall off completely than to refresh it at 1 second with a non-empowered one? I've been letting mine fall off completely but not sure if I'm right about that

Yes youโ€™re losing out on a tick

potent raft
#

jesus christ.. i did my first solo 5mask run.. in stormwind

#

with the m+ sin build

young portal
#

What traits did you run? 3 SS and...?

potent raft
#

2 eb 1 hod

#

though i imagine for visions specifically NP > HoD

fading vigil
#

Do you run crimson on last talent trait for visions?

hollow stone
#

No. Poison bomb

#

You dont do big enough pulls for ct

fading vigil
#

Ahhhh makes sense! Is the middle tier any good for aoe pulls? Iโ€™ve never ran it

#

The one for FOK

#

With the traits you think it would be decent?

hollow stone
#

Its mostly a meme talent. I would just ignore it but if you wanna get in on some memes, play around w it

fading vigil
#

Lmao heard that! Preciate it bro!

old knot
#

what other builds have people been running to 5mask clear stormwind?

fading vigil
#

Can yโ€™all give me a guide and updates on how yโ€™all are running the storm wind vision? Should I even be trying to 5 mask or full clear till Iโ€™ve got the titans talent and my cloak to lvl 11 before I worry about that shit?

#

Or were yโ€™all getting some masks done and full clears before cloak 11

hollow stone
#

With the sanity resist we have now, โ€œanyโ€ build will work for 5 masks. Planning ahead is more valuable than the โ€œbest gearโ€. The goal would be 3ss 3np

old knot
#

thanks, applejuicce

hollow stone
#

Without gift itd be iffy. Youd have to be your own judge on that. For sw, imo, you go dwarf into old town, lust shaw. Port back, trade into mage. Port back, lust again for alleria. As far as the masks go, you gotta just try. Try 2 masks. If that goes really well, try 3 or 4 depending on how well 2 went, then do 5

arctic walrus
#

Without gift itโ€™s possible, just hard

hollow stone
#

Yea. Exactly

arctic walrus
#

Without extermination itโ€™s near impossible Iโ€™d say

hollow stone
#

Pretty sure its impossible w/o exterm but cant say i tried so :p

fading vigil
#

Whatโ€™s the food buff people are using for the sanity gain?

#

Watched a YouTube vid

#

He would eat every time he would open a gate and gain like 150-200 sanity

#

Kbab something like that

and its 100

#

Rogue in a guild I run with sometimes says he always runs WV major in Nyalotha. Which canโ€™t be right, anyone know which bosses it would be bis for and which itโ€™s bad? With other people in raid running to of course

#

For sin*

gusty mirage
#

WV is supposed to be really good right now, but I feel like its kind of a sim bait. I'd have to guess maybe like maut, shadhar up until phase 3 is pretty good for the way WV works, raden

tacit pebble
#

shadhar and maut are pretty much the only fights I think WV work in

gusty mirage
#

there are fights where it's viable, but it's not really reliable imo

latent gazelle
#

Thatโ€™s what I thought and told them. A few others chimes in and said they run it to, a hunter, DH an someone else

fair stag
#

Guys I'm a bit confused... seems like everyone's playing MA nowadays but when I sim my character it tells me I should play Subterfuge even without any SS traits... thoughts?

gusty mirage
#

w/o any SS traits the dps difference is probably like what? 200-400? just play MA then if you're used to that ๐Ÿ™‚ @fair stag

tacit pebble
#

subterfuge is a bit better for most people at this point, people just aren't changing

gusty mirage
#

yeah that has a lot to do with the power creep from the new gears making subterfuge literally a tiny bit better w/o SS traits

tacit pebble
#

its about 500 dps better ST and 1200 dps better 2T, which I think there are enough opportunities to take advantage of

gusty mirage
#

yeah I could see some fights where it'd be the choice to play

#

and if your azerite traits for raid have been dogshit like mine, it's a good excuse to run 1xSS KEKW

tacit pebble
#

same, i was running 1x ss all the way until nzoth :/

#

was checking how the APL handled 3 target with subterfuge and saw this

#

is using your TB-BOTE then immediately going into vanish triple garrote optimized?

fair stag
#

So what do you guys think would be optimal opener if playing Subterfuge without SS traits? Garrote X2 > Mut > Rupture > Vendetta?

tacit pebble
#

on single target you garrote-mut to 4/5 cp- rupture - vendetta

#

vanish when the garrote enters pandemic

fair stag
#

Aight thanks man... feels weird lol

high nacelle
#

why do we not g m g or g g m for longest g?

tacit pebble
#

its what the sim says

#

its a big boost to garrote, but not as big a deal as SS is

high nacelle
#

ok thanks

crimson palm
#

Is this right

#

Check the BoTE usage please

#

Second vendetta looks very weird as well

grave trail
#

Subter is better for most fights

old escarp
#

Delaying 2nd vanish for 2nd vendetta feels bad when playing bote

tender canopy
#

Can anyone tell me for single target the ideal traits for raid? What % haste crit mastery are ideal? I have some haste and mastery proc corruption gear but not sure what to wear as I play outlaw currently

crimson palm
#

Why is 2nd vendetta not delayed but used at 2:03:784

#

No emp garrote, no bote, no tb

jaunty crystal
#

always sim your gear. Stats will be different depending on what you have.

old escarp
#

I canโ€™t speak to the sim rotation. Was just commenting on my thoughts subterfuge vs. MA

tacit pebble
#

the bote and tb are still easily within the vendetta window

#

no difference in it being at the start of vendetta or the end of vendetta as long as the full duration is good

#

with just subterfuge you both vanish and vendetta on cd

#

its not until you add SS traits that you have to delay things

crimson palm
#

Yeah but why not use vendetta so you get full duration of the emp garrote under vendetta

#

it's not like you'll lose out on a third vendetta if you delay it

tacit pebble
#

๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™€๏ธ i assume its been tested with sims and its generally not worth it

strange python
#

VoP minor is simming as my highest minor with NP. Do i just just ven without vanish then?

crimson palm
#

it doesnt make any sense to me

old escarp
#

Tb bote env vanish/garrote seems weird. Thatโ€™s better than finishing your 5s Bote before the subt garrote?

tacit pebble
#

yea, just vanishing on cd i think is what they decided on with vop minor, weird result to have vop minor as your highest simming though

strange python
#

ya ignore what i posted. im an idiot and thought lucid was vop when i glanced at it

grave trail
#

i only use vop minor for wrath cause of how the fight works otherwise formless minor seems higher

tacit pebble
#

the placement of the vanish/garrote is weird, i think thats something that needs to be looked at with bote

#

especially on multiple targets it spends most of the bote window applying garrotes

grave trail
#

delaying first vanish for pandemic no

#

thats how i play it

crimson palm
#

I think I'll just stick with MA lol

grave trail
#

MA definitely makes the rotation feel smoother but the more crit you have the more it loses value also if theres an add you can cleave off of

crimson palm
#

I think the 2nd bote is delayed because of the dot refresh that overlaps

#

Then it prepares for a tb window and uses bote before it

#

But dunno, I'd still delay vendetta and refresh dots before it?

grave trail
#

2nd bote is always delayed cause it doesnt line up no

#

like every bote after first one

crimson palm
#

It has shorter cooldown than vendetta?

grave trail
#

unless you run vop minor

crimson palm
#

why wouldnt it line up

#

1:30 vs 2

grave trail
#

you delay it?

#

for vend

crimson palm
#

It's used at 8 seconds in the sim

#

Would be up at 1:38

#

vendetta comes at 2:00

grave trail
#

yeah and if you dont delay your bote it wont line up with your vend or what are you saying my dude

crimson palm
#

Check the sim I linked above

#

Vendetta is used at 2:03

#

Then garrote, 2x mut, rup

#

Why isn't it refreshing dots, then going into vendetta window

#

could be that the amount of envenoms in the window stays the same due to energy or smth?

rotund pier
#

If using BOTE major with subterfuge, but NO SS and then coral... is this the right opener? G/M/R/Vend+Coral/Mut/TB/Bote/Mut/Env then mut env etc until vanish+garrote again to extend pandemic? Isn't there a double garrote somewhere there?

crimson palm
#

Andoris the sim i linked above is that situation, check the casts log

rotund pier
#

just joined, didn't scroll up

grave trail
#

i saw it and i dunno that sim loooks weird

#

the casts

rotund pier
#

it doesn't put vend and coral together hmm

grave trail
#

it does

rotund pier
#

coral/mut/rup/vend

#

thought it would be macroed ๐Ÿ˜›

grave trail
#

i always use my second vendeta even with subter, Coral> Bote > Vendetta> TB> ENV window

#

i dont like when the sim uses the Bote but i might be missing something

scarlet sequoia
#

youre wasting 2 globals in bote

#

why

grave trail
#

thats not the opener

old escarp
#

Why use bote before vend and tb?

#

Should be vend Tb bote env mut env

#

Otherwise you was 2/5 bote globals

#

Waste*

grave trail
#

yeah but then you waste on vanish?

#

garrote

#

or no

#

is bote over by then

#

im going off by what your sim is casting

#

your sim is casting vanish garrote inside bote

#

@crimson palm sim btw in case ur confused lol

old escarp
#

We were speculating above around 30 min ago the sim might need to be looked at because the rotation doesnโ€™t seem correct with subt + bote

#

Additionally in cleave it wastes bote window with 3 garrote casts

rigid mango
#

non SS subterfuge APL is Clown

#

Doubt anything'll change though

grave trail
#

ah makes sense then

old escarp
#

Hmm so if apl is scuffed would subt be better in reality?

grave trail
#

but with subter you bote always waits for vendetta right which was i was trying to make the guy understand

rigid mango
#

Probably.

old escarp
#

Likely marginal difference. Probably doesnโ€™t matter

rotund pier
#

so whats teh real No ss opener?

rigid mango
#

That's my assumption anything

rotund pier
#

like can someone write it out pls lol

grave trail
#

just delay vanish for pandemic imo

#

is the only diff no?

#

or use rather for pandemic

old escarp
#

Subt opener would be g mut r vend mut Tb bote env etc. then vanish g in pandemic window. I think

grave trail
#

yeah i can agree with that

#

obviously muts might change if u get crit

old escarp
#

^

white wyvern
#

Wouldn't you want 2 garrotes in opener? g > g > r

grave trail
#

some guy was saying use vanish off cd which was very weird

#

it doesnt give extra cp but still extends so prob yeah

white wyvern
#

oh yeah so g > m > g > r

grave trail
#

yeah

white wyvern
grave trail
#

dunno if its worth it over another M but bah its minimal loss i think

hollow stone
#

I really doubt 5s of garr is worth it with no ss. But thats feely

grave trail
#

^ yup it all comes down to that lol

#

do w/e u feel is worth ig

#

those 5 extra secs can also mean u dont miss some garrote uptime cause of non refreshing during vendetta but i dunno

minor garden
#

Start from Stealth Icon Stealth.
Use Potion of Unbridled Fury Icon Potion of Unbridled Fury at 1 second on the pull countdown.
Apply Garrote Icon Garrote.
Apply Rupture Icon Rupture.
Apply Garrote Icon Garrote.

#

wghy would i rupture on 2 points?

#

this is the starting rotation

#

from both wowhead and icy veins

old escarp
#

Only with SS. Otherwise that is not the opener

minor garden
#

yea

#

i do have it

#

but still why cast a rupture with 2 or is it maybe 3 points?
