Monk tank im my guild has rank 1 mythic carapace dps. Lemme check what his dps was
tank of my core have t2 or 3
oh hi infexious gaming! i love your videos
he does 60k dps hivemind mytic
that's nuts lol
td was something like 50% he's damage omegalul
rofl

will a T3 TA do the same dmg like one T2 + t1?
if the ilvl is the same, t2 + t1 = t3
good to know regarding the ilvl, thanks
ilvl of damage corruption always change the damage done
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
Would 3 np 2 ss work for nuking bosses and elites in visions?
Yes.
Guys, on m+, are u playing with bote major even if it sims like 4k less than focused iris?
I was playing outlaw since last week so i had this doubt
On outlaw i was playing bote too
Shhh or you will kick start the bote Vs iris argument lol
!iris
Xdd , no more questions ๐
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iCzaPTJJdvhQTjkJvW9wJM
Sim sample log good?
Especially bote single usage, vendetta single and vanish single usage
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?
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
you dont play scent of blood
@autumn girder is this Twilight devastation t1 your best belt? dont have anyone simming better?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/28VVb88qT2sz6V9zdWj5GS
Thats the top gear sim
try to sim conflict over vop
i did sim conflict with vop
uhh 7 min sim?
5min better?
much better
ah because 2 of my guildmembers simming 7 minutes thats why i chose that too
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
๐ but if its vop > conflict i just use my cds alone right?
considering the difference is 300 dps you can just play whichever you like
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 ?
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%
ok ty ๐
fark ppl giving some shitty advice, just catching up on chat
run more corruption, upto 59, makes you a better player
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
like weight training in dbz
xd
comparing weight training to wow 
just run triple SS+combination of twist with 1 NP
@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.
ahh twitch emotes
ok you're one of those
what, good players?
Alright I'll try that. Thanks
@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
do you guys know the wa/addon thats shows you witch pots are good for the visions?
CT this week except in KR and SoB.
What changes in those? Less movement?
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.
Makes sense, thanks for the answers
Offf can't really decide i got this gear atm
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mX1vymJgExgjrc5Xx4jHn3
but for 600k i can buy some 460boots with stars rank2 just for playing around
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tJXed8X2D74cvSqFQAmzD6 any opinions?
dont buy IS
leaning on infinite stars as your output-enabling corruption is something you're forced into, not something you aspire towards
yyyyyyy
thanks Kira
congratulations
throw some aoe corruptions my way will ya
havent seen a single TD since 8.3 start
i saw a drest ring get GW on it with a socket. it was insane
didnt get it tho lol
bm hunter snatched it up
Noob question here, what do you guys use to see the title of the corruption before the description? Also shows those %s by the stats?
Corruption tool tips addon
Tyty
๐
mmmh

Gemhide or Vampiric speed, if I have to choose?
for what content?
M+
vamp speed
And sometimes a lil bit of w-pvp.
vamp speed is sick
Do I hold second vendetta for vanish to come back up if I play subterfuge?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/c9tkaKgSjbbpux8KEoLhQ3 sigh sims want me to purify my TD III from weekly
Well TD was never that good for ST patchwerk
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
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
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
Not to mention if you're doing higher keys, your garrote build won't even come close when you start doing 6+ mob pulls
What investment? Get one wits, and then fill the rest with dead shot and ace and youโre golden for every affix/dungeon
gearing outlaw is stupidly easy this tier because all the raid gear has the traits you'd need for m+
i have tohse yet was only doing like 40k st
where as assass i push like 50-60k
and thats with my m+ build
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
that and holding BTE when you shouldn't etc.
BTE?
it's normally one of 3 things, holding BTE when you shouldn't, managing deadshot procs, and reroll logic.
between the eyes
Probably log a few dungeons in outlaw and assassin and post em in the channels
should reroll always to get 2+ buffs unless u get shark buff right
Basically. But check outlaw pins.
I believe if you're running 3x deadshot one broadside is fine
Especially if youโre stacking dead shot.
is stars better in fights than sims? cuz another combo of corr is simming 1k better but i got a 430 r2 stars today
It scales with the ilvl
And no, it's even worse in fights than it sims ๐
@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
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
riposte isn't better than evasion tho
there are attacks you can dodge but not parry
but not the other way around
but riposte does that DMG
big dmg
but i didnt now that, what can u dodge without parrying?
that's not very important compared to being able to evasion the axe on 3rd boss KR or the shot on korgus
ur right those r nuts
generally ranged attacks can be dodged but not parried
you can't parry random shots from "archer" mobs usually but you can dodge them
I mean the other head is shit
true
my azerites sucks ass
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
i'd do the first one
ilvl is big but 1 EB seems lack lustre
3 ss is hugelier than 3 eb i think
and 3 SS 0 EB 1 NP bigger than 3 SS 1EB or 2SS 2EB then?
ok
@high nacelle what did you decide on?
less than 1% in it, going to try various durations
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?
I believe it's 4 or more mobs
still finish tho
I do not know, but I think that in a smaller fight, will use 1 CLF should be better BoTE?
if the fight is <1min30 yea
2x bote >>> 1x clf
eh, not always
your bote is also losing value because of master assassin vs subterfuge
overcapping on crit during bote window with MA
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
make sense
with subterfuge talented its a much more normal 300ish dps difference between clf and bote
even the people who have bote simming the highest it's rarely by much
wow im surprised
yea, the other benefits from bote make it worth the 300ish sim loss for most
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
i dont thnik anyone has 3 minute cds anymore at this point
every 3 minute class plays vision
boomkins/warlocks
sub i guess doesnt but its not even a spec
which trinkets are you using for 5maskruns with 3 ss/3Np and exang? Read something about the mechagon with beam + font (?)
can play cyclotronic
bike/drestagath i guess
plumage can be ok
spyglass/dice is ok
just w/e makes you kill bosses faster
3ss carries trash alone
whats reasonable corruption for raid and mythic+ ?
does assa mastery work with gushing wound bleed?
raid usually <40, or <60 for farm
m+ depending on key height and ur confidence
I run 15s with ~80~90
@undone cipher Weapon ilvl will increase a lot of your damage
90*
any other thing to look for?
@whole mantle rng hates me xD
i've never been so mad in my life ever when i had 1% wipe on mythic argus
mage tower is cancerous.
i'll ask again - for m+
with 3x ss + 2x eb . what is best for the last trait - NP or HoD
HoD.
ty
which t4 talent would you rather use on maut ?
leach helps
I just stick with cheat ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
ineffable truth any good?
PvE, no.
bis for pala heal xd
Regarding M+, raidbots is telling me to go for double dose and scent of blood. I'm assuming the top two traits for M+ would be SS and echo?
running subter, garrote and then FoK spam?
p much
mindflay prob the most inconsistent of the corruptions but when it procs it pops off
Tips and trix for ra den M?
@hoary crown you can feint solo Void Collapse now after the nerf. Cloak immunes it.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Pcn2JRh1MxQB6DCK/#fight=12&type=damage-done&source=30 if u wanna see giga TA on maut
Which is better for raiding, Twisted Appendage II on dagger or purifying it and taking Twillight Devastation III on waist?
Twisted Appendage on dagger
@small island ???????
with subterfuge how you use your second set of cooldowns
do you hold vendetta and the essence for when toxic blade comes off cd and do you also wait for the second vanish to come off cd as well?
Hey guys on 4+ add pull with crimson tempets taleneted what should i open with 3 garrot rupture or 3 g tempest?
@agile oar look at the pins and scroll down a little bit
wait theres a pin for that
m+ aoe openers
thanks @vital haven
np
@tropic ocean are u jealous of my rank 5 ta?
@vital haven I'd recommend doing a quick sim and looking at how the apl handles it
is it not big? i thought 101 corruption TA would do more dmg than a single gushing wound
ye i wasent being serious, game is total garbage
oh sorry then

can we cloak vexiona stacks?
meanwhile from vision
Rip

there is no bis ?
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
I may have missed one...
Lucid, botd, flame, iris, even pp all have usage as minors
Oh and vop. Vop has some usage too
Happy farming! ๐
so now i have 3x DD / 2 HoD / 1 NP and 3 overwhelming power
is my ST good to go ;p ?
ty ty
in M+ having 1 EB, would it be better to get 3rd SS or 2nd EB
3rd ss
is 3ss3eb better then 3ss3HoD
depends on affix dungeon
this week for sure with few exceptions like kings rest or siege
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?
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
Only fight Id say Infinite stars isnt the best (rank 4 475itmlvl) is hivemind and Nzoth
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
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
for sure
IS is actually quite nice on nzoth because it gives you a lot of damage in the final phase
Sim is telling me to go triple NP and vop minor
Lol
We cant get to final phase yet. We like 1 minute from chamber phase
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
How does vision major work for assasination
I see rogues using vision major now for soem fights
๐ฃ for NP procs
and do we hold vendetta for vanish ?
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
I don't think CLF is great on wrathion unless your guild's kill time is super slow
is hoD the go to for single target aka raid?
Would you guys cleanse t3 ev?
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
no trick
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?
casts and timelines
you can plot stuff from taables too
but generally a timeline is easier to read
wowanalyzer also does it pretty well
ok thank you guys
so rotation dont change at all for vision major am i correct ?
is the mecha ring set with the 3 different abilities + haste a lot behind the backstab + haste or basicly the same?
@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
Sorry for the silly question here- been gone 9months... Are sin rogues still stacking crit > haste > mastery in m+ when stacking EB?
crit mastery. dont believe you want haste
Thanks @grim mason
How many of you guys have replaced your mythic fonts so far? Finally getting a sim that says higher
only reason its higher because you have vop minor
oh yeah forget to change before i started the sim. I traded to a wlock in my guild anyways
Is by and large the best Main essence BoTE for raiding and M+?

haha
ive read somewhere here that wowanalyzer isnt "updated" is that true? if yes what do i have to look out for while analyzing?
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
glimpse is pretty bad, gushing wound is best, followed by expedient. mindflay is good though, having 3 is fine
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?
haste %
Rolling ap on mythic raden repetitively is doing my head in
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
Thanks for the input guys, I'm sure ill have more questions and I appreciate it!
just sim yourself
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
a VoP build seems more consistent to you?
It just doesnt seem as dependent on crit chance
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
what does VoP stand for?!
vision of perfection
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?
and if you are running BotE + coral...do you pop both of them on Vendetta?
Will we ever get to replace Coral 
no
they'll both be during vend, coral will cover all of it and bote will generally be aligned to the tb inside vend
Cool, and when do you choose CLF over BotE major?
if im asking dumb question or too many, sorry. I am new to the discord.
Just tell me and I will stop
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
Is pooling energy still worth it, or not so much these days?
@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
so even if you are at 10 energy when you get 4-5 CP, do you wait until 70 to use env?
i mean envenom cost 35
debating using my residuum for AoE pieces for M+. Most of the gear doesn't seem to be much better than heroic azerite pieces
but yes wait for 70+ to envenom
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.
Yeah, raid, seems like we lost all utility in M+ too, with the new boss mechanic thing.
just feels clunky to me.
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?
Do you pool energy outside of about to tb?
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
@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
Opinion is based on feelings and conjectures. @unkempt solstice Have you played rogue, mean assa rogue?
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.
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 ?
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.
Thanks. Yes that's why I asked. Maybe too much Haste on gear dampen its value and place other stats on the top
i heard ppl with IS got haste always on top stat
@raw dove do you have a sim handy?
but it's better to sim yourself always
Can sin compete with outlaw in keys? Primarely 14-18 keys
Yes
Is 3xSS 3xEB still the way to go?
Yes that's good but some drop some EB for some dungeons like KR
Is 3xSS 3xEB still the way to go?
@echo night depends on affix, encounters
being sin you need to become an azerite gear master. Collect them all)
Is coral + torment the best trinket combo?
Torment is horrible trinket
i guess coral + vita is the best
god dang i hate that thing
I got a galecallers boon at 475 aswell but i dont wanna have 2x use trinkets
I tried it with font, full fire mage style, it wasn't bad but I hated it and my usual combo is better
Mythic version is nice, I like it
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8pZZDww4SCmjqyqSnXJ7rN
@raw dove you should get rid of haste. Get crit/versa enchants. Lucid never should be in major slot. Only minor
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
get bote in major, if you have it rank 3
what are you guys simming for dungeonslice
my 440 dh sims higher
woops wrong gear
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
Yeah needs rk3 tho
it's all about 
i get like 3-4% in a mythic+
Outlaw though
Not happy with 4%?
That's good
Or just annoying that it pulls the world haha
Do you guys run bote or iris for mythics
@latent wraith bote ftw
what are good numbers you searching?
@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
what azerite pieces do you have?
for aoe, at least, you should have tripple SS
i have two td'/ one rank 1 one rank 2
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
ah crap)
Guys 2 stupid questions
First one, about what depends the combo regeneration? I mean sometime with 1 skill I get 4 cp, sometimes 2
Second one, with this unpredictable cp regeneration, how can I do it to avoid waste cp?
Must I use envenom with 3 cp?
no
multiate
dont posion knife or muti at 4 tho
if you overcap due to crit
no big deal
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
you cant
boom at 4... sometimes
depends on situation
just try to not waste cp when you are ready to use tb
Ok
im off to bed
@latent wraith get 3 ss, find eb gear. Get rank 2/3 VoP and Lucid
u talking 3 eb 3 ss gear?
at current affix yes
Why do people use vop in m+ ?
Why do people use vop in m+ ?
@slender sandal make vendetta great again?)
I guess more vendettas and playing subterfuge you donโt need to line up vendetta and vanish. Having them desynced is not bad
does sin use PP at all in raid? for any fights (as a minor)
does sin use PP at all in raid? for any fights (as a minor)
@dire terrace Purification Protocol? Ye, viable on bosses with trash
which bosses is that? ive barely stepped into the place
vexiona, carapace
ty
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
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
pretty decent
ez ty
yeah pp performs like dog shit on outlaw wasnt sure about raid for sin though
i dont like it on the rogue
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
yea
leeching
Do garrote/rupture/crimson tempest snapshot? I got the golden plumage triket and was wondering in m+ if I should use the trinket before I dot
99.99999999999999999999% sure that if you bleed and then use trinkets that the bleed dmg increases
no snapshotting anymore
For m+ it is 4-5ish targets and 40sec right? If a remember correctly dngsim sux for assa?
pretty much yeah
Cool
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
https://www.twitch.tv/musclebrahtv/clip/EnchantingLuckyBeefAMPEnergyCherry?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time follow that and then use BotE at the end for giga damage



40k 

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+?
Thanks!
Ny'alotha aoe as assa is more padding than anything
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
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
@faint harness 3x SS & sub felt pretty satisfactory when you save vanish for the darters ๐
And then with every re-clear they just evaporate in <10s ๐ฆ
Do you multidot on those bosses @subtle tundra? Spreading ruptures for example? Or just yolo ST
Except hivemind is not pad cuz adds are #1 priority
- having big ravager dmg with vendetta + 3x ss ๐
thats mythic progress for you
corruptions are the bigger impact
and it has to be that way, i wouldnt play farm if it was like doing prog-like kills every week
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?
Hey everyone! I haven't raided properly since Argus where I got CE. I'm not doing very good :/ how should I change to improve? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/28085957
You're doing ok considering the gear you have
Rotation isn't much different to antorus?
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
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.
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
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
@summer valve thx for ur opinion
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
Check the pinned posts
@slim estuary change your azerite traits, regarding what raidbot sais
Do echoing blades change at how many mobs i use fok insteaf of mutilate?
With MA It's Mut Rup Mut Gar Vendetta Tb Vanish Env Mut Env etc.
@south sapphire on m+ with 3 EB you use fok at 2 adds more
almost 2k dps increase
in raid.... with 1 eb, maybe 3-4
@storm perch rule of thumb, what is the correct traits to use
ST: 3x DD 1x NP, Overwhelming Power & HoD
@storm perch rule of thumb, what is the correct traits to use
@slim estuary sim yourself
But sim yourself
@slim estuary you should sim it, but Double dose, Nothing personal and Heart of darkness going very well
if u have it
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
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 itโs held 2s and even then youโre probably low energy to not get 3 env in the window too
waste the cp
Thanks everyone, I just simmed my traits and changed a few around
Anyone got the macro for the thing from beyond?
Papa you still use TB on CD (unless vend is a few seconds away then hold) I think itโs 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
@rocky ruin you cant use a macro to target it, mouse over only
There's a WA that puts Ion's head over it
It's pretty hard not to notice it ๐
Or you just just change Ion's picture with a picture of your crush 
get plater and check your advanced options. check guardians โ๏ธ
It is so hard to sim good as rogue.. I mean I have good gear and sim 84 k https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hioRHXk1Qk746e1XStnX5M
And a friend has like only 2 items he can use and he is doing 7 k more dps https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dbnWpLBFFoDWdefBam9QgD
WTF ?!
Is Potion of Focused Resolve or Unbridled Fury better for Sin Rogues?
Do a quick sim and check what sim is using
Its using Focused Resolve, but everyone on logs is using Unbridled Fury
you're simming 6 minutes for some reason even
but yes generally rogue will be lower than dh
especially a dh stars sim
botbait!
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
Yeah was simming 6 min cause most of the fights are really long in mythic ๐
Well you can't compare DPS of different sim settings.
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
feel like that wasn't there when i checked last time
bote used in major even in legion
Okay, Iam dumb xD

for padding on carapace hc, yes, with 3 echoing blade traits
adds spawned? Bote > multiple foks until all adds die > profit
well 20 times? i guess they will die way more faster)
They die really fast
5-10sec casting. but it is just padding, to get nice logs.. totally not needed lol
the stacks get used up in one go
^ 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

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
Dafuq you talking about, literally all padders in top100 are stacking eb
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
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
^
just remember what top logs means most of the time
in legion fury warrior top logs was basicly
his statement was that stacking ebs wont get you a good parse
19people stop doing dps, warrior execute for 10min
even padding with EBs casually will get you 95+
going full ST gets you to 95+
Thats a question of definition. If you got a high orange from padding, I still wouldnt classify that as a good parse.
why do ppl use vision of perfection as minor? sims worse then a rank 2 essence for me
@shrewd night obv, but the statement above was that stacking that shit wouldn't give you a good parse
Its not a good parse
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
Pretty sure my statement was, it wont get you a good parse unless everyone ignores adds
The top rogue log as several people with 99+ logs, do you think any of those ignored ads?
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....
You can just cast FoK a few times when adds swarm and that easily gets you 300k+ dps for several seconds
Lol
Why is there even discussion about hc fight
All parses matter
Hc parses oof
Its pretty dumb
The point was, you can stack EB and get a high parse on the boss by padding on the adds. That's all
Cant you just ignore tenticles in p1 and get thousands of adds then wait till twilight procs?
The point was, you can stack EB and get a high parse on the boss by padding on the adds. That's all
Possible
Yes, and the entire point was that it wouldnt be a good parse

High parse does not mean good parse.
How do you even define good parse in heroic ๐
grey parse does not mean bad parse?)
I mean, you were the one who brought up heroic..
You donโt define heroic parses at all, thatโs how you define it
Stacking echo blade wont get you a good parse on carapace unless you tell everyone to not dps adds at all in any phase
Okay
This is like the dumbest shit ever.
This is such a facepalm discussion Im not wasting more time on this.
Yeah im out
That's what it feels like 
this disc should be alrdy over)
I bet if you had EV you killed
I got Assass rank 8 on first kill
EB*
Stack more EB to kill boss yeah
The 200k pull i had worst rng, like 10k below usual boss dps i have p3
Unlucky tentacle gamer
EB
Just play full ST on cara
Play for ST on all bosses
Ofc
Think I got 4 100% logs for boss damage
I legit dont give a fuck about adds or parses lol
Well not hivemind but who cares about that boss kekw
Hivemind I got 100% for boss damage lol. Parse was shit overall but we wanted to skip a set of darters
Idk if ur gear depends on mind flay corrupt its fking casuno dps
Casino
Im envious of ppl with haste and gw corruptions
I got 2 infinite stars max itmlvl last week so finally can start doing good ST. We extending this week though 
I got avoidance from haste weekly, and gw on boomkin and 12%haste on arms alt
Great game
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
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
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?
Sim
Do you use vop minor with bote?
almost definitely unbridled fury
only on fights where timings dictate it, most of the time no
So you just hold bote until vendetta is back up?
yep
alright
why do i shroud to use garrote in starter anyway? it doesnt do more dmg?
What
ah jesus
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
Yeah IDK their terms are all f'd up.
Is Gorak Tuls still BiS for azerite shoulders?
Finally got a second SS/EB azerite piece.
Only took two seasons. ๐
Outside of mythic nzoth yes
Does cloak work on mythic Shad'har fixate slow?
Nope @warped mica
Nope
K, thanks that's messed up though
Got goraks on my first roll this tier thankfully
Does sub work off another players shroud?
That would be interesting
Vanish shroud to give all rogues new burst
Ah
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
Yea, you absolutely want to be maintaining garr during the fight
ah my bad. i looked over it in the raidbots rotation
Just dont overwrite your ss empowered garr w a normal garr
it was waaaaaaaaaaay down the rotation
what is the time-left point where clipping garrote is ok? (not an empowered garr)
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 youโre losing out on a tick
What traits did you run? 3 SS and...?
Do you run crimson on last talent trait for visions?
Ahhhh makes sense! Is the middle tier any good for aoe pulls? Iโve never ran it
The one for FOK
With the traits you think it would be decent?
Its mostly a meme talent. I would just ignore it but if you wanna get in on some memes, play around w it
Lmao heard that! Preciate it bro!
what other builds have people been running to 5mask clear stormwind?
Can yโall give me a guide and updates on how yโall are running the storm wind vision? Should I even be trying to 5 mask or full clear till Iโve got the titans talent and my cloak to lvl 11 before I worry about that shit?
Or were yโall getting some masks done and full clears before cloak 11
With the sanity resist we have now, โanyโ build will work for 5 masks. Planning ahead is more valuable than the โbest gearโ. The goal would be 3ss 3np
thanks, applejuicce
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
Without gift itโs possible, just hard
Yea. Exactly
Without extermination itโs near impossible Iโd say
Pretty sure its impossible w/o exterm but cant say i tried so :p
Whatโs 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
Rogue in a guild I run with sometimes says he always runs WV major in Nyalotha. Which canโt be right, anyone know which bosses it would be bis for and which itโs bad? With other people in raid running to of course
For sin*
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
shadhar and maut are pretty much the only fights I think WV work in
there are fights where it's viable, but it's not really reliable imo
Thatโs what I thought and told them. A few others chimes in and said they run it to, a hunter, DH an someone else
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?
w/o any SS traits the dps difference is probably like what? 200-400? just play MA then if you're used to that ๐ @fair stag
subterfuge is a bit better for most people at this point, people just aren't changing
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
its about 500 dps better ST and 1200 dps better 2T, which I think there are enough opportunities to take advantage of
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 
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?
So what do you guys think would be optimal opener if playing Subterfuge without SS traits? Garrote X2 > Mut > Rupture > Vendetta?
on single target you garrote-mut to 4/5 cp- rupture - vendetta
vanish when the garrote enters pandemic
Aight thanks man... feels weird lol
why do we not g m g or g g m for longest g?
ok thanks
Is this right
Check the BoTE usage please
Second vendetta looks very weird as well
Subter is better for most fights
Delaying 2nd vanish for 2nd vendetta feels bad when playing bote
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
Why is 2nd vendetta not delayed but used at 2:03:784
No emp garrote, no bote, no tb
always sim your gear. Stats will be different depending on what you have.
I canโt speak to the sim rotation. Was just commenting on my thoughts subterfuge vs. MA
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
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
๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ i assume its been tested with sims and its generally not worth it
VoP minor is simming as my highest minor with NP. Do i just just ven without vanish then?
it doesnt make any sense to me
Tb bote env vanish/garrote seems weird. Thatโs better than finishing your 5s Bote before the subt garrote?
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
ya ignore what i posted. im an idiot and thought lucid was vop when i glanced at it
i only use vop minor for wrath cause of how the fight works otherwise formless minor seems higher
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
I think I'll just stick with MA lol
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
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?
2nd bote is always delayed cause it doesnt line up no
like every bote after first one
It has shorter cooldown than vendetta?
unless you run vop minor
yeah and if you dont delay your bote it wont line up with your vend or what are you saying my dude
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?
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?
Andoris the sim i linked above is that situation, check the casts log
just joined, didn't scroll up
it doesn't put vend and coral together hmm
it does
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
thats not the opener
Why use bote before vend and tb?
Should be vend Tb bote env mut env
Otherwise you was 2/5 bote globals
Waste*
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
We were speculating above around 30 min ago the sim might need to be looked at because the rotation doesnโt seem correct with subt + bote
Additionally in cleave it wastes bote window with 3 garrote casts
ah makes sense then
Hmm so if apl is scuffed would subt be better in reality?
but with subter you bote always waits for vendetta right which was i was trying to make the guy understand
Probably.
Likely marginal difference. Probably doesnโt matter
so whats teh real No ss opener?
That's my assumption anything
like can someone write it out pls lol
just delay vanish for pandemic imo
is the only diff no?
or use rather for pandemic
Subt opener would be g mut r vend mut Tb bote env etc. then vanish g in pandemic window. I think
^
Wouldn't you want 2 garrotes in opener? g > g > r
some guy was saying use vanish off cd which was very weird
it doesnt give extra cp but still extends so prob yeah
oh yeah so g > m > g > r
yeah

dunno if its worth it over another M but bah its minimal loss i think
I really doubt 5s of garr is worth it with no ss. But thats feely
^ 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
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
Only with SS. Otherwise that is not the opener
