G r g if you have SS

#

SS makes stealthed garrote give 3 CO

#

CP

minor garden
#

okay

strange python
#

the head of raden is better than the head of maut right? (for ST)

minor garden
#

why not garrote twice then rupture?

#

yes it is

strange python
#

ty

old escarp
#

If I had to guess it’s because you get 2s extra buffed garrote uptime and a 3cp rupture vs 5cp rupture is no difference

minor garden
#

hmm okay

hollow stone
#

Because math

sacred moth
#

Anyone have a good sim of x3 SS in dungeon slice? Before I spend massive amounts of gold on reforging I want to see if the DMG is there in m+

hollow stone
#

Dslice is bad for sin. It doesnt account for restealth iirc. Theres an apl in (i think) tc research that you can try

#

Sim string, w/e

white wyvern
#

It is in #wow-general pins and still it is not a good sim for dungeons.

#

Ya just can't sim dungeons.

sacred moth
#

What do you think, then? Is it comparable to outlaw for dungeons?

hollow stone
#

Or just be lazy and sim like 4-5 targets 40-50 sec, then a 1 target 2-2.5 min and then use your brain from there

fading wigeon
#

3 x SS is amazing damage in dungeons

#

And on bosses too

hollow stone
#

But its not gonna be perfect

white wyvern
#

Damage wise, yes Sin is comparable to Outlaw. Just harder to gear optimally for Sin.

old summit
#

is vita better than font atm ?

#

st

#

I mean font siming higher but all logs are vita

subtle tundra
#

vita is better if you have expedient corruptions

old summit
#

@subtle tundra can you give an example

subtle tundra
#

expedient corruption is % haste

#

so it makes your vita give you more haste

old summit

crimson palm
#

@rigid mango if with shit APL subt is simming better, difference might be bigger with actual good usage

#

at least for me, subt is simming 600dps higher than MA

rigid mango
#

Yeah I'd never ahve thought of that myself

#

πŸ™‚

crimson palm
#

isn't that a reason to change it?

#

Doubt anything'll change though

rigid mango
#

Ask the TC people πŸ™‚

#

I tried

#

I've given up

#

I wont try again, I have my assumptions.

vestal wren
#

subtler/ma is quite close even without ss

#

also shit apl???

rigid mango
#

The apl for non SS Subterfuge is riddled with a lot of illogical things.

vestal wren
#

like?

tacit pebble
#

re applying vanish garrote during bote/vendetta/tb window

tacit pebble
#

that was a weird one on 3 targets

white wyvern
#

oh

#

still

vestal wren
#

that seems very specific to blood

tacit pebble
#

thats an example on ST

#

well blood is the go to essence

vestal wren
#

thats true, ppl rly like it for some reason

hollow junco
#

not annoying to use, short cd, applicable in ST, AOE, and cleave, typically sims as 2nd or 3rd best possible patchwerk dps option

#

I wish i never had a reason to swap away from it

vestal wren
#

can you link me the st sim?

quick cobalt
#

Hi, what mean ST plz ?

white wyvern
#

Single Target.

quick cobalt
#

Oh ok thanks πŸ™‚

vestal wren
#

i assume it should not use vanish during tb?

tacit pebble
#

using the gcd on the vanish garrote during the tb/bote window seems really bad, I doubt using the vanish during just TB is that bad, but probably a loss inside of vendetta

vestal wren
#

or, just dont use it during bote i guess

tacit pebble
#

I think thats probably the biggest thing

rigid mango
#

I've spoken to koji

#

It's nto a simple fix

#

and it doesn't just work

tacit pebble
#

yea, i can see where a lot of the timings are awkward

#

dont vanish on cd makes the vanish fall out of vendetta I think, dont want to delay TB so just delaying bote until after hte vanish doesn't seem ideal

vestal wren
#

the problem is probably cooldown overlap

#

and the potential loss of casts/efficiency from delays

#

not sure if it fucks up sth else

tacit pebble
#

that much of a gain from just that makes it significantly ahead of MA for sure

shy dust
#

The use of vendetta like 13 seconds before vanish is up

#

Is an issue with the sub no ss apl

vestal wren
#

letm add ma to check

tacit pebble
#

looked back behind it and it looks like the default profile and the no vanish during blood profile are using different consumables

vestal wren
#

huh

#

interessting

#

letme rerun

tacit pebble
#

i'd assume its responding by delaying the vanish until after the blood window is over, which is also after vendetta is over?

#

yea, its vanishing at 2:37 now

#

wonder if delaying vendetta 2 10 seconds til when vanish comes up is the answer

vestal wren
#

delaying vendetta is playing with fire

tacit pebble
#

that would require delaying TB or delaying vendetta more anyway

vestal wren
#

usually not good

#

and delaying in general is not good

tacit pebble
#

yea

#

some awkward timings in this

#

it delaying vanish so much drops average vanish casts from 2.9 to 2.6, so a decent number of sims with no vanish during blood aren't even getting a 3rd vanish

vestal wren
#

yes

#

what means that delaying might not be the solution

tacit pebble
#

that long delay is to not refresh before pandemic, maybe vanishing earlier but refreshing during pandemic is a gain? who knows, those timings are scuffed

vestal wren
#

it could be that applying/refreshing bleeds during tb or blood is not as big of a deal

hazy iron
#

What if you vanish > Garrote after the 5 second increased crit damage window of Bote rather than the entire thing? (Bote buff)

#

Looking at those other sequences, popping bote then managing garrote vanish straight away must be a significant part of the dps loss. Dunno, just chucking out ideas

#

Maybe I'm confused though

vestal wren
#

doesent rly seem to make a diffrence

hazy iron
#

Fair

hazy iron
#

Breath sims higher for me than bote so I've not really spent much time with it outside of AoE fights or wrathion (with vop)

#

But I much prefer subterfuge over MA

tacit pebble
#

appreciate the work messing with the apl

vestal wren
#

WV also sims quite good, but ppl seem to not use it πŸ˜‰

arctic violet
#

hey guys

#

im new here

hazy iron
#

Yeah true

vestal wren
#

no problem, those are very simple changes to the apl ^^

arctic violet
#

can someone tell me what bis should i go for for my assassin rogue?

hazy iron
#

WV at 0 allies sims equal to breath for me

#

No one uses it on my team t.t I always thought people used bote to guarantee crit burst under MA window

vestal wren
#

wv is probably the most underrated essence, it does not mean you should use it if you dont feel comfortable

hazy iron
#

So if you're not running MA, maybe you're better off running breath, I dunno. It all comes down to personal pref I guess

arctic violet
#

guys

hazy iron
#

Yeah my issue with WV is boss movement haha

#

Sup

vestal wren
#

jade bis is a very generic term, might be more specific

#

even not 100% uptime on wv makes it good

#

ppl assume that movement elliminates the entire benefits of it, what its not doing

hazy iron
#

Yeah? I have run it, i'm always happy to try again

drifting cosmos
#

does haste give more PP and breath proc?

vast plume
#

what is the stat priority for ass rogues

white wyvern
#

raid? sim
M+ Crit > Mast

royal lantern
#

the stat priority is simming

vast plume
#

sim gives you different things all the time tho

white wyvern
#

Exactly!!

#

Cause stat prio always changes.

#

Top gear is your answer. Not stop prios

crimson palm
#

With a kill time of 6 minutes on Xanesh, should I just run VoP minor

#

Fucking sucks not getting that last vendetta in 😐

exotic rose
#

I’ve been personally running vision minor and breath major. Vision minor makes your vendetta not align with the adds coming, which is great, because it’s a terrible phase to vendeta given you have to kill the ads and they die quickly. Breath major allows for multiple resets on ads, so you get way more damage than clf

#

Not that logs matter much but I got 3 rank 100 with that build

crimson palm
#

Ye I was thinking the same

echo cargo
#

I've just been rolling with vision major and praying

surreal halo
#

I feel like I have been struggling to sim myself. There are too many variables this expac! Are there any loose rules about subterfuge/MA, and when to switch over and lose the SS traits?

lean marten
#

when one sims higher than the other

#

unless u prefer a certain playstyle

crimson palm
#

@exotic rose I'm guessing you use the breath major on Xanesh right after last add dies? And just wait for the next set afterwards?

short quarry
#

Is it better to stack NP over HoD on nzoth? I feel like my burst is more important than the stat buff from HoD

loud dome
#

which one of the two tentacle corruptions is bis for us

shut garnet
#

you cannot get lash as assa

#

it's a fist weapon

high mantle
#

fist weapon = no more mut

shut garnet
#

so TA is the only one available

loud dome
#

and it can't randomly corrupt?

shut garnet
#

nope

loud dome
#

so only the one on carapace?

high mantle
#

that corruption is tied only to that fist weapon

rough veldt
#

3 SS or 2SS with 1 EB for mythic +s?

white wyvern
#

3 ss

crude nexus
#

does visions of perfection proc nothing personal?

sullen sphinx
#

can someone confirm for me how you obtain rank 1 conflict and strife

sullen sphinx
#

i have capped for two weeks in a row now and not received it.

#

assuming becuse it isnt season 3

rigid mango
#

Probably because of your lack of rating

drifting cloud
#

you dont need rating for r1

vapid terrace
#

What's more consistent for M hivemind. The stacking fan buff, CT or PB? My numbers suck.

We waste time chasing adds, but I need more consistency

sullen sphinx
#

im 1400, seems like the requirement is 1000?

rigid mango
#

If you've capped, looted your chest and still nto recieved it

#

This is a question for blizzard, not the wrong channel in a class discord πŸ™‚

sullen sphinx
#

lol

#

already did a ticket

#

just wanted to confirm i was correct about how to get it

rigid mango
#

Seems like wowhead or blizzard would be a better source than the opinions of who knows πŸ™‚

tropic ocean

@vapid terrace hidden blades is bae

youre really tiring

strange python
#

@sullen sphinx not sure man - I would put in a ticket. You should have got rank 1 by now

rigid mango
sonic echo
#

Quick question: Based on askmrrobot rotation, you only rupture at max combo points. is that true?

scarlet sequoia
#

no

sonic echo
#

k. 4+ without deeper and 5+ with right?

scarlet sequoia
#

4+ with or without

sonic echo

kk ty

scarlet sequoia

@rigid mango @vestal wren @tacit pebble Generally what I would say is saying things like "shit APL" or "illogical" often are not as closely aligned as one might think. Plenty of things that are illogical still perform better. Considering probably around 6-8 hours of dedicated testing was put into the APL for non-SS Subterfuge over the last couple weeks, I'm pretty confident it's generally performing well. Nothing is perfect but it's best not to assume that just because everything doesn't line up perfectly that lining things up better will actually perform better.

#

Often with many things--not just the APL--people tend to value organization over everything else, and certainly one iteration snapshots don't tell the full story.

#

Sometimes alignment issues are things that can be resolved, and other times they are just a necessary evil

#

As the cost of re-alignment is not free

#

Generally I would say that if you see anything that stands out as odd, it's probably worth bringing up. However its presence alone doesn't always mean there is a problem.

harsh anchor
#

Let's say hypothetically, if I didn't have C&S R3, what would be the replacement if I were using BOTD, MOLD and IRIS

strange python
#

is the buffed garrote rly that good

fleet anchor
#

For example in the snapshot linked during the original discussion, you have two options:

  1. Delay Vendetta/TB/BotE to re-sync with the ~12-14s offset Vanish cooldown from the opener
  2. Further delay Vanish and move more of your buffed Garrotes are outside of Vendetta/BotE
    Both of those are probably a bigger DPS loss missing out on 1-2 FoK during Vendetta as CP builders following a Vanish.
#

@strange python Yes Subterfuge is pulling ahead for most people right now, it just scales better generally speaking currently. Also I improved the APL for it a few weeks ago a fair bit.

strange python
#

also a question for xanesh mythic

#

is it worth it to delay the first vanish + buffed garrote to dot the first add + boss or should i just use it in the vendetta window?

drifting cloud
#

well I havent done the boss in like 2 weeks but from what I remember we would always delete that 1st add

#

like it would die before it finished 3rd cast from memory

exotic rose
#

@exotic rose I'm guessing you use the breath major on Xanesh right after last add dies? And just wait for the next set afterwards?
@crimson palm exactly

fleet anchor
#

Yeah kinda depends on how long the add lives in your group

#

Personally I was delaying Vanish for example on Ra-den because you get pretty good value out of triple Garrote and that seemed worth desyncing for. But YMMV

faint harness
#

Do you ever implement bugged interactions in the apl

#

Like the drestagath trinket being flurried

shut garnet
#

πŸ€”

fleet anchor
#

We generally do try to implement bugs

#

If we know about them and it's easy enough to implement anyway

#

I'm not super familiar with that trinket behavior though, since I haven't gotten one to drop yet. Feel free to DM me the details and I can check.

harsh sphinx
#

there's a spreadsheet floating around but it's in chinese

dark token
#

now if only my 2set wasnt the healing one

#

does the healing one proc on self heal with lucid dreams?

maiden raptor
#

Since i can't sim the engi helm due to not having it. is it better comapred to the mythic helm from maut for st?

summer valve
#

gear compare option lets you sim stuff you don't have

maiden raptor
#

wait but can you sim for the engi helm?

summer valve
#

why wouldn't you be able to

maiden raptor
#

uhh cause i can't find it under the options that are given

summer valve
#

gearspun goggles

#

use gear compare not top gear

#

top gear only sims combinations of stuff you have

#

gear compare lets you sim ANYTHING

maiden raptor
#

ohh gear compare ooof. i for some reason read droptimizer monkahmm

#

i'm a pepega

dark token
#

its ok helm is pepega

#

mythic maut is better

#

my 465 helms beat the eng helm

ocean ore
#

Hey guys, how do i play assassin rogue in hivemind mitic with 2dd 1 np 2 hod 1 bi

#

should i dot only boss

#

or darters too?

#

build cp with fok or mutilate?

cobalt pelican
#

is your guild having difficulty killing the darters

ocean ore
#

nope actually

#

but, i think about energy regen

cobalt pelican
#

with 4 full time bleeds on the bosses additional dots are going to be very little value for st damage

#

fok at 5t+ would be the most damage overall but it's pretty meaningless drone cleave for the most part, so if i wasn't playing shrouded or anything i'd just play like patchwerk 2t, bleeds on both and bleeds on ravager when it spawns only if darters are 0 issue for your guild

ocean ore
#

ok, ty for tips!!

proud salmon
#

when to pop blood on opener?

primal yoke
#

Are you running Subterfuge or MA?

proud salmon
#

ma

primal yoke
#

General opener is Mut > Rup > Mut > Gar > Vend > TB > Blood > Vanish > Env > etc

#

Some people use Blood before TB, but I think it's up to personal preference

#

If your first Mut doesnt give 4 CP, I've seen some people do:
Mut (2-3 CP) > Mut > Rup > Gar > Vend > TB > Blood > Vanish > Mut > Env > normal rotation

echo cargo
#

Does the tickrate of NP scale with haste?

primal yoke
#

I'm not sure, it's a set amount of damage over a set amount of time...so I am inclined to say no, but I dont know for sure

cobalt pelican
#

it does

echo cargo
#

I've noticed it going from 1.6s to 1.4s but I'm not sure if it does more or less damage based on that

#

Because it's, i guess, predetermined by the amount of damage the trait indicates?

cobalt pelican
#

it's just a regular hasted dot

#

more haste = more procs = more dam

#

the tooltip will be correct based on your current passive haste

primal yoke
#

Anyone know much about the VoP major + 3x NP traits build? Insane damage coming from NP.

#

Guess its highly dependent on VoP procs though

strange python
#

can someone pls look over my log and tell me what i can improve on? i seem to fuck up the wrathion fight (im doing 1 of the shards if that changes anything)

strange python
#

oh fml i forgot to link it

cosmic viper
#

Can anybody DM me and tell me wtf I'm doing wrong, I'm simming at 53k DPS and I can't even get close to that

flat wadi
#

So i just dinge 120 and having troubles deciding on what spec to go, i enjoy assa more, but outlaw is so much easier to gear, Im like only gonna do m+ on my rogue with the occasional hc pug. Is it fine to just go and get m+ pieces for assa or should i start out as outlaw?

drifting cloud
#

unless you absolutely love assa and/or hate outlaw Id suggest outlaw if majority of your play will be m+

flat wadi
#

It's just that outlaw isnt very interesting or doesnt seems like a challenge to get good at for me, now I might be totally wrong but that's how it feels. Assa feels more complex and rewarding when you get better

strange python
#

just play outlaw until you got azerite/weapons for assa m+

proud salmon
#

feast or haste food?

honest vessel
#

sim yo self

#

might be a different kinda food

#

its probably a 2ndary stat tho

balmy condor
#

almost never feast

#

agi is pretty terribad compared to most secondary stats for 95% of players

#

we're at that point in the xpac

young portal
#

Is 3 x SS, 1 x EB, 1 x NP and 1 x HoD a good setup for visions?

edgy pawn
#

id swap out eb for a 2nd NP

#

but should be fine

distant lava
#

3 ss and you're good

#

but the more NP you have the easier your run will be

young portal
#

My alternative to EB is DD

#

I could drop the HoD for another NP tho

edgy pawn
#

think id go 3ss 2np 1dd then

#

only think dangerous in visions are the bosses

#

and bosses just fall over with ss+np

young portal
#

Roger that, also is leeching poison taken instead of cheat death? Apologies if these are noob questions been doing them as outlaw till I got the azerite

edgy pawn
#

Β΄leeching is good

#

and dont worry about "noob" questions πŸ™‚

young portal
#

Spot on, thanks a bunch!

edgy pawn
#

np

silver musk
#

is tentacle corruption proc scale with haste or pure rng?

#

hey guys uh, so, I'm ilvl 456 on my rogue assa ST, got every mask, and I need like 2 points in sanity quantity talent and 1 in the haste talent per mob killed.. I can't seem to be able to finish the 5 mask run in solo.. any tip/guide/suggestion?

or should I just keep farming mementos to completely cap the talent tree?

or do I need higher ilvl or assa is just no good for horrific visions?

edgy pawn
#

what azerite are you running?

#

there are some videos on youtube of sin rogues running 5 masks, you can get some tips there

prime monolith
#

I mean I am no hardcore, I dont really have any additional gear piece even if I wanted to.. but

#

I have a 2x muti, 1x shrouded, 1x twist the knife

edgy pawn
#

try and get 3ss

prime monolith
#

1x meticulous scheming, 1x nothing personal

#

so you mean m+ build?

edgy pawn
#

ss is what makes sin insane in visions

#

i run with 3 ss 3 np

prime monolith
#

I just exchanged a piece yesterday and I coukd arrange a 2x shrouded instead of a 2c muti but I'd lose an overwhelming power

edgy pawn
#

Β΄do that

prime monolith
#

ok

#

otherwise I'd need to go outlaw for best performance, right?

edgy pawn
#

id still stay assa, you need the burst for the bosses

#

but outlaw is doable as well

crimson palm
#

assa is piss easy

#

dont even need 3x np, just switch your azerite to ST gear before boss

#

tho with exsan and that build they evaporate πŸ˜„

young portal
#

Blood major, Lucid, VoP + Breath minor for visions?

distant lava
#

I use PP instead of vop

young portal
#

Sweet, thanks. I'm assuming coral is bad in them too

prime monolith
#

@crimson palm exsanguinate over toxic blade?

#

@crimson palm the problem is that I am no hardcore gamer so I dont really have any gear to switch mid-run feelscryman

#

@edgy pawn whats the ideal haste % a ST assa should have?

pine pilot
#

for AoE openers "G1 G2 G3 CT FoK R1 BotE 5xFoK" the garrots are all on a different target? when i sim for dungeon slice HB sims best (i have 2 echoing blades) is that correct? for standard rotation on a aoe pack (say 3 enemies) do i prioritize keeping garrots and ruptures up on all targets and spending CP's on envenoms where possible (idealy with TB)? sorry for all the questions only just got the gear to play around with Sin.

flat wadi
#

What traits should I be looking for m+?

edgy pawn
#

there's no ideal amount of anything, you need to sim yourself

naive elm
#

some stats sim higher than others though

young portal
#

@pine pilot Firstly you don't sim dungeon slice for sin, its totally feelcraft you have to follow. Garrotes in opener are on different targets yes. I believe Hidden Blades is hardly used, take CT or PB(situational on dungeon/affixes). For your 3 enemy example you keep your empowered garrotes from stealth up and once they fall off you apply ruptures to your targets instead. Never apply standard garrotes for energy upkeep on trash. Combo points are spent on envenoms on prio target yes assuming bleeds have a healthy amount left

pine pilot
#

thank you, so dont use garrot outside of subterfuge?

young portal
#

Pretty much yeah

edgy pawn
#

only on ST

crimson palm
#

@prime monolith yes, exsan is better for very short fights

peak musk
#

are there any conditions for the ra-den trinket? Got it yesterday and it sims - 700dps πŸ™„

edgy pawn
#

which one?

#

vita or void?

#

vita is good, void not so much

obtuse perch
#

Naladra using a DD/SS build for Workshop, is this a thing now? I can understand it I guess

ocean ore
#

if tyranical maybe should be for pure single

#

adds in workshop isnt a problem without fortified

#

but...not for sure

prime monolith
#

@flat wadi 3x shrouded suffocation and at least 1 echoing blades

obtuse perch
#

it seems like 3ss+ttk,np,hod, etc would be better

prime monolith
#

@flat wadi also you should prioritize crit over haste for aoe

ocean ore
#

think it too

prime monolith
#

@crimson palm what talent build do you do for horrific visions?

peak musk
#

@edgy pawn Vita ...

edgy pawn
#

what trinkets do you got that it sims that bad?

crimson palm
#

sub/leeching/exsan

#

rest is standard

peak musk
#

font/coral (445/455) ...

#

thought 475 vita will beat font but no πŸ˜…

edgy pawn
#

Γ­ would sell a kidney for 455 coral πŸ˜„

peak musk
#

ikr ... but little bit disappointed with the vita sim. πŸ€”

#

thought i can finally dumb font

prime monolith
#

@crimson palm as for the traits, I only dispose of these combinations:
β€’ 2x shrouded, 3x twist the knife, 1x np
β€’ 2x muti, 2x twist the knife, 1xnp, 1x meticulous scheming

which should I use best?

edgy pawn
#

for what? visions?

prime monolith
#

yes

edgy pawn
#

the 1st one

ocean ore
#

the 2x ss

#

one

prime monolith
#

a'ight

edgy pawn
#

ss is king in visions

onyx hedge
#

Apart from gurak tul shoulders are their any decent M+ azerite for st?

lethal heart
#

cepha chest

#

and swirling sands helmet

#

probably best azerite vendor items

onyx hedge
#

pretty sure its maut head gurak shoulders and vex chest right?

cobalt pelican
#

extravagant apaualets are pretty okay

#

as a budget goraks

crimson palm
#

ra-den's head is better

edgy pawn
#

got a ttk/np/op helm from the vendor, forget the name

lethal heart
#

well raid items

#

are better in general

edgy pawn
#

sims 26dps better that maut helmet

lethal heart
#

but

cobalt pelican
#

circlet

onyx hedge
#

i got mythic maut head, gorak tuls and then only 460 vex chest cause we progging on hivemind atm 4/12

lethal heart
#

there are still some good vendor options

cobalt pelican
#

pretty sure you still just go vex heroic/mythic, maut mythic/goggles or raden heroic and then gorak/extravagant

#

depending on your level of play and progress

#

maybe loa is better than maut

#

seems p likely

crimson palm
#

maut M > ra hc

#

~800 dps diff

cobalt pelican
#

uhhhhhh

#

sure

#

if you don't have an np already probably

#

it's likely not that big if you do

crimson palm
#

Yep

#

Well it's the only slot you can get NP on no?

#

or vex chest has it?

onyx hedge
#

Problem is i have heart of darkness chest from vex so i would need heart on headpeice with dd and then a np dd on chest

#

i dont think ima find it

cobalt pelican
#

vex chest does indeed have it

#

it's probably ideal to get maut helm but like i said it's a list of varying gear for people at different levels

#

not everyone (somehow) can kill maut mythic or raid at all

faint harness
#

ra den helm

storm perch
#

is it possible to get 3eb/3dd azerite pieces?

cobalt pelican
#

yes, long term it'll obviously be that actual good items

#

like raden mythic, nzoth mythic, vex mythic

#

with goraks interchangable

#

but this is for de n0oblets

onyx hedge
#

i think n'zoth gona be better than goraks

hollow raven
#

so whats the go to single target build these days?

#

with azzy

cobalt pelican
#

raz said it's pretty close/goraks is still better and he's at the point he could have them so

onyx hedge
#

tbh i dont think there is anything i can get from the vendor that is goign to benefit me

#

i have Mythic maut head, gorak shoulders, hc vex chest

#

and i dont think it worth going hc raden head and then finding some vendor chest with np dd

crimson palm
#

cepalohide is an upgrade over vex

cobalt pelican
#

it's pretty easy to check

onyx hedge
#

@crimson palm mbye

#

but its my only heart of darkness peice

#

and i would lose a dd if i did heart on headpeice

#

it would end up being

crimson palm
#

just do whatever sims better

#

you are not forced into hod

onyx hedge
#

it sims pretty high tbh

#

almost cant pass it

#

only upgrades on azerite for me are for raid and we have to prog there first, so i think the smartest play is prob sit tight and hold resid so if they change anything im set

#

my sims are still sub optimal, i could sim higher with clf but barely and BotE is performing better because of dmg windows and then my raid doesn't want to run WV, for now I'm basically stuck around the 75k range

crimson palm
#

well here's cephalohide for me

onyx hedge
#

Could anyone do a solid and see if they can get any higher

crimson palm
#

460 Vita or the 475 Wrath trinket are probably simming higher for you

onyx hedge
#

teh wrath trinket is pretty terrible

#

and the 460 vita is a downgrade

crimson palm
#

It was 300 dps upgrade for me over the font

#

And so much easier to use

onyx hedge
#

i prob didnt have a good setup for it tho

#

it was a 3k dps decrease for the 475 wrath trinket

crimson palm
#

wtf πŸ˜„

onyx hedge
#

lol

#

Exclude WV, raid wont run it

onyx hedge
#

Dps is lower because i accidentally had vision on from doing something

crimson palm
#

& APL is broken, so It's most likely a higher dps gain

vestal wren
#

what is broken?

crimson palm
#

we were discussing it yesterday

#

with subt & bote it's doing some stupid stuff during 2nd vendetta window

#

wasting gcds in bote window instead of delaying for e.g.

cobalt pelican
#

the default timings are just really bad for it

#

i tried playing around with it but i couldn't get anything significantly better

crimson palm
#

I think you wait before dots expire

cobalt pelican
#

like vanishing even before pandemic on the first vanish was a gain because it would make the 2nd vanish be up before the bote combo

crimson palm
#

Atm It's using vendetta on CD

cobalt pelican
#

even though you'd waste a bit of the first empowered garrote, just because timings were better on the later garrotes it was a marginal gain

crimson palm
#

Then using BoTE after 13s

cobalt pelican
#

and i'm sure there's a better solution

crimson palm
#

Then refreshes rupture & garrote during bote

#

and tb is like randomly cast without any pooling

cobalt pelican
#

huh?

crimson palm
#

lemme show you

cobalt pelican
#

the bleeds during bote isn't even really a loss since they're almost always post-critdam buff

#

and the default timings for blood with no font is like

#

the 2:10 tb, 7-8 seconds after vend

cobalt pelican
#

the only awkward thing is vanish alignment

#

i know, i've looked at it a lot

#

the problem is

#

moving the vanish back slightly isn't a gain

#

and moving it forward is impossible without moving the first one forward

#

which is what i was trying to test initially

crimson palm
#

shouldn't it be

#

vanish before vendetta

#

emp garrote

#

then vendetta into bote tb window

#

so you get max benefit out of the tb window, and still empower a garrote during full vendetta duration?

#

as you get 22s when you reapply

onyx hedge
#

No lol

cobalt pelican
#

that'd be a 3-4 second tb cd hold trade for a few seconds of vendetta garrote when the garrote doesn't hit that hard

#

like all the problems with the sin apl that i notice all end up boiling down to tb alignment

crimson palm
#

if you don't lose on a tb cast it shouldn't be an issue no?

cobalt pelican
#

in the real world, no ofc not

#

but in the sim it will lose a tb cast on a decent chunk of iterations or at elast part of one

#

and then you're looking at very little gain if any at all

crimson palm
#

makes sense i guess...

#

but playing it this way feels just wrong

#

dunno

cobalt pelican
#

the way i currently play it is just

#

if i know vendetta timing will be tight

#

i vend on cd, but delay vanish to after the crit damage part of blood

#

if i know i have spare room for vendetta timing

#

i just hold to the 2:10 tb

#

playing font in general makes it all shitty but i don't do that shit anymore

potent raft
#

in ToS , on the first boss - does the lightning shield reflect garotte ticks?

cobalt pelican
#

you can apply it safely in the opener before the first shield is cast without taking damage at all

#

i usually just open like g r on shield guy and then g on the guy you actually kill

vestal wren
#

people will always create paterns they play with

crimson palm
#

does it make sense for the KPI to be amount of envenoms cast during TB windows instead of amount of TB casts?

vestal wren
#

i discussed this topic in legion a lot where people opted to delay symbols up to 10 secs to line everything up perfectly

scarlet sequoia
#

@potent raft u can apply bleeds as much as u want to if you have focus macros

#

doesnt trigger the shield dmg

vestal wren
#

so, in "reality" people lost multiple casts of symbols just bc. they played what was expected to be perfect for them

#

the problem with the sim is that you take a raid scenario and compare it to it

#

e.g. in a raid it could be possible that downtime does allow a good alignement

#

on pure st its hard to find a reasonable way without making it overall worse

#

what does not matter a lot on logs i guess

grand jasper
#

yo can i ask what the best weapon enchants are

#

for assasination

scarlet sequoia
#

ye

crimson palm
#

1:19:100

#

Envenom cast

#

1:20:442
Tb cast

faint harness
#

why is it 2 targets

crimson palm
#

im checking 2 target rotation

#

0:54 same situation, envenom before tb

scarlet sequoia
#

ah but bro u are trying so hard for nothing

#

are u a robot

#

are u gonna do exactly what this sim is gonna do

crimson palm
#

i just wanna know if there is a bug or not

scarlet sequoia
#

a bug in the assa apl?

#

probably πŸ˜›

crimson palm
#

yeah

vestal wren
#

idk how it can be buggy

#

probably wrong phrase

#

also i think people in here quite regularly overstate the impact of minor points

#

if the question is: is there room for improvements in <insert specific situation>, the answer is probably yes

#

if the question is: does it makes the result invalid? The answer is that it most likely does not change

crimson palm
#

i think a better question would be is subt simming better because of this specific gameplay

#

like would MA be better if played with all the overlaps we do

cobalt pelican
#

it's not a bug

#

on multitarget the delay condition for energy is completely removed

#

because your income is so high

#

and this won't happen on every sample

#

like, you have to realize when you're envenoming and refreshing rupture varies insanely and the power of the sim is that it can run 100k iterations

jaunty arrow
#

What to use in m+ r3 TD or severe r3 and honed mind r3? I feel like td isnt worth SucksMan

cobalt pelican
#

so even if the sample you get is unluck

storm perch
#

seems one more disc for nothing...

cobalt pelican
#

it's just whatever

#

it's possible that's it's straight up not worth refreshing bleeds at low multitarget counts during tb but

#

that's very different from a 'bug'

#

it's also not really a target count worth checking tbh there's no 2t anything atm

crimson palm
#

Vex sorta is

#

We're just starting on her and that's why I was checking subt out

cobalt pelican
#

vex r eally isn't 2t though is it outside of the opener

#

and you'll be delaying vend anyway

#

so it'll line up with garrotes on the 1st pack after intermission and vanish anyway

crimson palm
#

don't know the timings yet, only had 3 pulls

cobalt pelican
#

well, there's plenty of wiggle room on vendetta unless you're really slow in the last phase and the only time it's really 2t is the very beginning

crimson palm
#

i'm checking log now

#

looks like i delayed vendetta for the second vanish

cobalt pelican
#

yeah but you can't really not

#

like she's flying till like 2:00 anyway

crimson palm
#

aha

cobalt pelican
#

and then she takes forever to come down, movement, bleed setup

crimson palm
#

so you actually do her the way it 'feels right'

#

not sure what the correct word is lol

cobalt pelican
#

generally if you're on reasonable pace on the boss it's

#

2t opener, second vend after s he comes down with vanish 3x garrotes for the first portal ads, hold 3rd vend for lust in last phase and then the boss is dead

#

if you're a slower guild then you might have to change it a bit

#

but just doing that naturally have vanish timed with vend anyway

crimson palm
#

yep

#

none of those early vendetta shenanigans so it'll feel right πŸ˜„

tropic ocean
#

holding vend only if u actually kill it fast enough

#

or you'll lose vendetta

#

besides that I barely touch adds at all in vexiona only big add and enforcer, rest leaving it to the auto padlords

crimson palm
#

ideally is 4:30 transition to p3 right?

near apex
#

After the 1st set of adds die,you want to transition

#

So around 430 mb a bit sooner

#

In my case I used vendetta on cd,cause I’m getting sacrificed in p2

#

And I wanted to squeeze in one more before dying

tropic ocean
#

tell ur raid to soak with groups

#

:^)

near apex
#

It’s fine

#

As long as the boss dies I’m ok with it

vagrant tapir
#

How do you play dresT?

#

This major breath minor formless build

#

Does everyone have to be running formless minor?

spark oyster
#

No, you just have a 100% uptime on the buff because a lot of other ppl are running breath major

vagrant tapir
#

gotcha

#

so

#

Do you only use breath over 80 and under 20?

#

like, never let it have the full 45 second CD?

cobalt pelican
#

formless minor is pretty pointless

#

and ya just above 80 and below 20/for execute with some attention paid to tank debuff timing

sterile ocean
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

Assassination Stat weights:
Single target: haste > crit > mastery > vers
Multi target: crit > vers => mastery > haste
Note: Simming will always result in more accurate results.

vagrant tapir
#

why is it pointless?

cobalt pelican
#

maybe pointless is a bit strong but if it's not simming better for you there's not really any reason to use it

#

you gain like 5% uptime in a drest environment to sim

vagrant tapir
#

Really?

#

even if many people are using breath>

cobalt pelican
#

it already sims at 92%~ uptime, there's really not much room for it to go up

vagrant tapir
#

Compared to their normal 1-3min cd mains

#

Hmmm

#

ahh

cobalt pelican
#

it's just not a very good minor

#

it was fine when breath wasn't at rank 3 but now it has very little place unless you really want mainstat for some reason

vagrant tapir
#

how does it have that high of an uptime normally?

#

does it proc when vop major procs?

cobalt pelican
#

it's just the way it's defaulted to sim

#

usually it's a tanks crucible that would proc it on other fights

#

in the real world

vagrant tapir
#

right

cobalt pelican
#

this is the default setting in the sim

#

and it's a 20 second buff

#

so you have 2 seconds downtime each cycle

#

you can PROBABLY get a tiny bit more value out of it on drest since it'll be close to 100% uptime if you have a lot of your raid playing breath but when it's like -500dps or more from the next closest minor in regular sim it's just whatever

terse orchid
#

Dungeon Slice was inaccurate for assassination simming right?

tropic ocean
#

U basically have no room to play formless

#

In drest

#

Breath major lucid set cns set

#

then its most likely vop

#

as the only important thing in the fight is add control

white wyvern
#

@terse orchid Yes.

cunning spire
#

hey, the guides says to use vanish with vendetta when i have SS and subterfuge but in the opener i am supposed to not use my vanish until the empowered garrote has run out. Do i delay my 2nd vendetta then to wait for vanish?

terse orchid
#

So what do you use to sim M+?

sand whale
#

any vision major sin rogues here? it's now my top sim seen a few logs with it but I'd imagine it's all down to RNG

scenic nacelle
#

link logs

scarlet sequoia
#

good on the same fights infinite stars is good on

sand whale
#

man that's like RNG on RNG

scarlet sequoia
#

very rng based tho obviously, so if you enjoy that shit play style then go for it

sand whale
#

lol

scarlet sequoia
#

ye don’t recommend going it ever

#

even if it sims slightly higher

hollow stone
#

@cunning spire yea, delay 2nd vend to resynch w vanish. Then keep then synched. Obv if the boss will die before that, just vend when its up for 2nd vend

cunning spire
#

alright, thanks πŸ™‚

agile oar
#

Hey lads should i just be spamming boe and vandet in mythic plus?

tropic ocean
#

no

soft kayak
#

Can anyone explain why all the top logs are using Bote now instead of worldvein clf etc. I cant make it sim better for me, and I cant find anything written about it, or is it just because its better with vita coral?

strange python
#

sims better for people with good gear + lower cd

soft kayak
#

aight so my gear is shit

#

we gaming

agile oar
#

its not that your gear is shit

royal lantern
#

people use bote because this raid is based around burst windows

#

has nothing too do with gear

agile oar
#

i was gonna say that the faster the boss dies the better boe is

soft kayak
#

fair enough

#

it makes sense on fights like ra-den and stuff but i was just confused by it being used on shadhar

#

but even then it has a use case cause boss moves away from shards a lot

strange python
#

thats where the "lower cd" part came into my answer peophammer

#

but also clf doesn't sim higher than bote for most people

soft kayak
#

yea thats true

#

worldvein just sims significantly higher than me so i wasnt sure

cobalt pelican
#

people just moved away from worldvein gradually when reality wasn't representing sim values

#

if it's still your best simmed at 1 or 0 allies feel free to use it, above that i wouldn't bother

#

bote is -300 for me, is good at all fight lengths kinda, has burst aoe if i need it and has all of it's damage centered in a 10 second window which means it's less punished by downtime as long as you can ensure you're hitting the boss during vend (which you should be doing anyway)

#

so i play it most of the time

soft kayak
#

yea that's very true

#

i found early in the tier worldvein was getting most of the value it simmed for because most of my raid was running it

viscid hill
#

Are those stats any good? Sin rogue for world pvp (and quests) with: 17.09% haste | 22.67% critic | 38.96% mast | 17.22 vers | 8.61% sorver, it's good? or should change those stats?
3x ttk + 2x np + 1x ss (optimal traits from my current gear, anything else is garbage)

royal lantern
#

its world pvp

#

you can have 0/0/0/0 in all stats and still get kills by ganking peeposhrug

ah, but lets say, for 1x1 ?

horrific vision major essence?

Do you have kidney shot bound?

prime monolith

iris?

hollow stone

Gratz on 2200

Bote or botd @prime monolith

#

Iris is fine too but you dont really do big pulls as sin

prime monolith

botd?

hollow stone
#

Breath of the dying

prime monolith
#

ah right

#

I just have rank1 for bote

#

is it ok to go botd?

#

what about the minors?

mossy lodge
#

peperogue honestly i just use outlaw

#

for horrific visions

#

but this is sin chat

prime monolith
#

lol

#

the problem is that I don't have outlaw gear

hollow stone
#

Sin is better anyway

#

Botd mj, pp, lucid, whatever other minor (maybe vop or flame)

prime monolith
#

thanks lads

#

best 3x twist the knife or 2x twist the knife and 1x dd ?

hollow stone
#

Best would be 3ss 3np. You want as many ss as you can get your hands on if able

crimson palm
#

Bote > all

hollow stone
#

It lets you destroy pack by pack and shreds bosses

#

He (or she) only has r1 bote tho

crimson palm
#

Oh assumed he wrote botd lol

hollow stone
#

Or i would have recommended the same. Botd is a decent alternative if you dont have r3 bote

fading walrus
#

i have a stupid question guys but im new to keys as sin, does echoing blade

#

i mean as echoing blade spec do i spam knives for the proc or does it proc after 5 crit hits or 5 crit bleeds or only crits from kniges

#

knives*

cobalt pelican
#

huh

#

when you press fan of knives, each mob you hit with fan of knives will echo if it crits

#

up to 5

fading walrus
#

so it only procs of knives crits

hollow stone
#

Yes

rotund pier
#

Is there an ideal best visions talent/Azerite traits/essence setup list somewhere for sin?

#

And maybe corruption/trinks?

hollow stone
#

Standard st talents (can go exsang over tb to burn bosses if you wish, some really like it). 3ss 3np. Bote mj, lucid, botd, other minor (i use pp but c&s is prob better)

#

Corruption, expedient is really good. TA is good, basically st corruptions that arent IS because IS doesnt stack fast enough

#

Trinkets, cyclotronic is really good for bosses, then swap it in and out when its on cd for something else like spyglass or torment

#

Coral is the other trinket

rotund pier
#

Sweet thanks, been running pretty much what you listed so far. Just haven’t pushed more than a 2 yet(lazy I know). Guess it’s going to be World of Vision-craft farming for the rest of the xpac for sockets bleh

hollow stone
#

Planning your route and pulls will provide better results than having β€œthe best set up”. So make sure you take the time to do that

#

Speaking of vision... vop is another option for your last minor slot

#

The guys in here who use vop minor for visions will defend it til their death

sudden trench
#

what are people simming at these days as assas for ST - PW - 5min

#

im only getting 78k out of my sim

rotund pier
#

If you’re like 470ish then 80kish

hollow stone
#

90k is a high sim. 78k is pretty avg for a mythic raider

shut garnet
#

around 75k is average i would say

#

with sensible corruption

#

no one is simming 90k on assa with <60 corr btw

#

im 99% sure

hollow stone
#

Really? I assumed we’d have some lucker dogs in here pushing that 90k sim by now

#

Man, 78k sim is not a feelsbad

Next week he’ll be sub 60 corruption w that sim

What are people raiding with though? Are most still sub 40 corruption?

honest vessel

my gm wont let me go higher >.<

I dont even sim sub 40 now, personally

Sub 60 fo lyfe

does the slow not make u wanna kill urself?

Not really

This^

honest vessel

i only run 38 and i hate it

Same

shut garnet
#

raz is highest simmer i think and he’s only like

#

84k?

#

or something

#

maybe 85

rotund pier
#

With how much corruption?

hollow stone
#

Raz needs to step up n hit that 90k then πŸ™‚

honest vessel
#

i was simming all my corruption last week and from 28-64 corruption i gained 1k dps

#

huge

#

then i got insane upgrades this week and life is good

rotund pier
#

Cara won’t drop dags for me, so tilting, both is like a 4K increase for me

cobalt pelican
#

90 with stars is surely not that hard

#

i sim like 83k without

#

raz was like 87k or some shit last time i saw but it's been a while so idk

tawny shell
#

84.8 with 38 corruption

sudden trench
#

So what you guys are telling me is - we cant compete with DH and War ^^

cobalt pelican
#

in sim numbers? no not really

#

it's been that way all expansion

#

or at least for a very long time

prime monolith
#

where do you guys find the best performing players in raidbot?

#

is there like a ranking or?

cobalt pelican
#

no

#

generally the highest simming players are also conveniently the people who share the sims the most

#

so they just end up circulating class discords

prime monolith
#

oh

scarlet sequoia
#

85k with 58 corruption no infinite stars

hollow stone
#

Yea. That dh sim was from dh disc a day or so ago, for example

mighty torrent
honest vessel
#

yup def right

#

subt scales better

#

and bote + vanish + coral is wasting some crit value during bote at some crit levels

#

loses out on some deeps

#

but mainly subt scales better

mighty torrent
#

alright perfect, so use vanish to reapply garote now as if running an SS trait rather than using it with envenom etc? πŸ™‚

fleet anchor
#

All you really have to do is reapply at any point when vanish comes off cooldown. Ideally during Vendetta and with max Pandemic. However it’s generally better to use aggressively than to hold things. Especially on ST it only eats one global so it’s not such a large timing issue like MA.

#

Most important thing is obviously not to refresh the buffed Garrote in pandemic like normal.

honest vessel
#

should you wait for the whole garrote to fall off then or like around .5 seconds kinda thing

#

kinda specific, but do u know?

#

i guess optimally it would be after the final tick

autumn slate
#

Let it fall of I believe

honest vessel
#

it feels so wrong lol

#

my bones want me to hit that garrote at 5

autumn slate
#

I would play it like when we had SS traits

fleet anchor
#

Generally you can refresh it once the final full tick happens and not worry about the partial tick. But it is not a huge deal either way. Just make sure you don’t have downtime.

honest vessel
#

thx cutie

honest vessel
white wyvern
#

Here we go again.

harsh sphinx
honest vessel
#

oh no was this talked about recently and ididnt read

#

am i that guy

white wyvern
#

Yesterday yeah. lmao

honest vessel
#

found it

#

cool

primal yoke
#

I saw something about this mentioned earlier, but didn't quite understand it. So if you are running MA, BotE, & Coral...is that an excessive amount of crit during your Vend/TB burst window? Is it worth it at all to save either BotE or Coral for your next TB window?

honest vessel
#

i think there was talk about saving the bote til after the vanish window? or maybe visa versa, but i dont think anything was concrete on that matter yet

rigid mango
#

What's the context for that screenshot?

#

Like what setup

honest vessel
#

third vendetta window with subt

rigid mango
#

Ooft.

#

So it literally doesn't garrote?

honest vessel
#

yeah lol

#

its not even on cd

#

it did blood right before the vanish

#

might involve that

white wyvern
#

oh lmao monkaS

rigid mango
#

@fleet anchor this a single iteration issue or? Seems like quite the big deal literally not using subt πŸ˜„

honest vessel
#

@white wyvern u baited me into thinking this was already discussed!

white wyvern
#

I mean I just quickly grouped it into the issue discussed yesterday, but no G in Vanish seems much worse.

#

oops

honest vessel
#

lol

rigid mango
#

Does seem quite bad yeah

crimson palm
#

Whole thing is broken SucksMan

#

Does it change if you add 1 ss trait

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

The subt + ss apl is diff

cobalt pelican
#

are you actually sure it's a subt sim

honest vessel
#

yes

cobalt pelican
#

can you link it

honest vessel
#

u can see the buff in the screenshot

cobalt pelican
#

i'm curious

honest vessel
#

ya gimme sec i did the sim on my computer and im on my phone rn

cobalt pelican
#

going to guess it's something to do with it being the very end of the iteration

honest vessel
#

oh i didnt even notice that

#

why would the iteration end at 4:21 then

cobalt pelican
#

standard variance

#

if you sim at 5 min the default is 20% variance i think above and below

honest vessel
#

oooh

cobalt pelican
#

it's still not correct for sure, and i might be wrong in my assumption

#

but it seems like the vanish is hard coded to be pressed but there's a ttd constraint on garrote that's not matched or something so it just continues on its merry way

honest vessel
#

yeah thats gotta be it

cobalt pelican
#

prolly best if one of the tc guys looks at it though cause i have a small brain

honest vessel
#

redid it and got an iteration with longer kill time

#

it garrotes

white wyvern
rigid mango
#

Aight then all gucci ig

honest vessel
#

does seem that way

fleet anchor
#

If it’s at the end of the iteration then yeah. DoT sub-APL won’t refresh Garrote if it’s below N seconds time to die. Could maybe tweak that with Subterfuge. Can’t imagine it would make any substantive difference.

#

It’s a 4s threshold I believe

#

On my phone right now so can’t check

#

i wouldnt, personal call

I wouldn't either

weary marten
#

Hey guys, how much corruption do you run if you go above 39 not to be in real danger ? in ST / MM+

tropic ocean
#

depends on group and raid

#

in heroic i do up to 79

#

in m+ mostly 60-70

weary marten
#

how much does the add hit for if it ever hits you ?

#

another quick question : how does corruption stack ? if i have for example 2 x infinite stars, does it increase proc rate or just dmg ?

tropic ocean

just dmg

#

and it depends on how much corruption u have

#

anything from 150 to 350k

#

but if you play properly u wont take dmg from it unless there proc 3 or more in a row

loud light
#

@weary marten except for the ra-den weapon, all the corruptions seem to keep the same proc rate but the damage stacks

weary marten
#

Thanks for your answers πŸ™‚

#

I usually try to not be a burden for my healers so i run <39 and go out of my eye but sometimes i would like more dps ^^

balmy condor
#

mind flay seems to also do proc rate

#

I have 3 mind flay, and they've all procced at once

tropic ocean

no

I have one twisted appendage piece and have had multiples up

Is there any point in going assa in m+ over outlaw other than personal preference?

do you reckon 470 GW is worth putting a socket on

how are you guys opening on ra-den? that orb comes out like 5 sec after the opener, so I've been delaying tb/vendetta until after orb, but not sure if thats best

faint harness
#

not hitting the orb

whole grotto
#

just skipping orb entirely?

faint harness
#

yea we have most melee just hitting boss

#

its a valid tip to ur raidleader

cobalt pelican
#

you have to be running a really wild raid comp to need melee to be hitting the first orb

hmm, ill take the advice back, thx:)

is galecallers boon actually a viable trinket to grind for or is it too gimmicky?

fair relic
#

Dungeon slice is telling me race pulse (hast proc) over hone mind (mastery proc) for m+. Is that right o.O?

arctic walrus
#

no because you shouldn't be using dslice for this spec

#

the mastery would be better than haste

fair relic
#

What is the best way to sim for m+?

white wyvern
#

There's a script in #wow-general that's okay. The best would be to do multiple sims with varying mob sizes for like 20-40 seconds with no lust and some ST for a few minutes and use your brain to analyze it.
There is just not a good way to sim for dungeons because there are so many variables.

fair relic
#

Word, thank you

arctic walrus
#

basically you just want 3ss 1 eb and stack mastery/crit

white wyvern
#

err 1 EB probably not worth.

flat wadi
#

Is there any benefit in going assa in m+ over outlaw other than personal preference? Like assa but outlaw seems so much easier to gear towards but more stale gameplay

white wyvern
#

Other than Sin having big prio damage not really.

rigid mango
#

Sin can optimise for dungeons and be best in a field of choice, outlaw is always in the inbetween. Say you want ridic aoe and focus on mowing down huge packs, 3 eb ss with big stats and big pulls and sin will reach ahead. Come to a boss fight and sin suffers. Vice versa goes for other situations. Dungeons with low mob density, I'll pick KR and WS as examples, favour sin. Angling all your damage into dealing with these low target sized pulls makes sin considerably more potent, and not only that but also optimising boss damage in dungeons with a certain emphasis on the bosses at the same time. Sin is possibly the best spec in the game for these scenarios and is highly looked over.

#

Other stuff like speeding up the dungeon by optimising comp into people with heavy aoe and then having a sin deal with select targets each pack is also a possible time gain in overall speed and execution of the key, but will not show on the meters.

#

Hope this answers your question πŸ˜„ @flat wadi

crimson sparrow
#

anyone know how many points of vers = 1 percent?

85 for dmg/heal, 170 for DR

thanks!

echo cargo
#

Speaking of some key-cheesing for Sin, if you're doing Workshop (moreso than JY), you can set your hearth to Mechagon and gear swap mid-key. Run ST for the first two bosses, hearth, swap to AoE for the big packs.

rigid mango
#

big packs? normally just fine/optimal w standard shit

echo cargo
#

The gauntlet of packs after second boss and then the pack before third boss.

#

Just found it really easy since once the second boss is dead you spawn at it, so the hearth -> re-entrance takes maybe all of 5 seconds

rigid mango
#

Gauntlet is better when using standard SS setup though

#

And so is most packs

#

Since they consist of high prio targets

#

And it's also the best setup for bosses, so dunno why you wouldn't just run it perma

echo cargo
#

🀷 I only have a standard raiding set + a FoK / SS setup with no real inbetween

#

Found it convenient to go from one to the other, swap trinkets, etc

rigid mango
#

Coral used on both, SS best for everywhere probs

what does best drop mean (vs expected value) in droptimizer raidbots? is it with best corruption or whaT?

prime monolith
#

guys, is the fact that assa is the only rog spec that can cast mount, hearthstone, gadgets and so on without breaking stealth an intended thing or just a bug Blizz is still unaware of?

young portal
#

@minor garden Expected value means the average upgrade of the items from that slot/boss (depends what you've simmed) with the values of downgrades being set at 0(not negative)

#

I think

honest basin
#

I know haste is kind of low on the prio list for m+, but is there a recommended % ? Can't seem to see it on guides/steams, and even though multi dotting makes up for low haste it doesn't feel right on boss fights.

minor garden
#

is it worth losing some uptime on garrote / rupture in order to get 3 envenoms in after using toxic blade? And also is it worth not using toxic on cd in order to refresh dots or wait for approx 100 energy before casting it?=

#

i mean which one is better

#

or should i just do toxic and then refresh durations ?

#

and accept only 2 envenoms

surreal halo
#

@minor garden Typically you want to be planning ahead and pooling your energy for when you hit Toxic Blade. I typically aim for 80% or so. You always want to use Toxic Blade on CD. Try and factor this into your planning. Sometimes I might refresh rupture/garrote a little earlier to maximise damage in TB windows.

#

2 envenoms is what your aiming for though.

minor garden
#

i usually get 3

#

envs

runic tinsel
#

3 envs is almost guaranteed with planning ahead, i usually refresh bleeds if its less than 15sec and TB is coming up soon then pool. but honestly, its easier to just always pool before using a finisher, less chance to be caught of guard and you also get more value out of Elaborate planning

#

Btw, is galecallers simbait? i sim 1k more with it than vita of same ilvl

honest basin
#

Well it assumes you always have it for full duration

#

But if a mechanic makes you move out or delay it then you lose dmg

#

@honest basin but thats true for any trinket tho right

#

if i have to move when it procs i lose damage

tropic ocean
#

@echo cargo workshop is literally a super good key for sin, I run 3 ss 3 np 0 eb cuz so little trash

#

but u will delete all of the hard mobs/obelisks/bosses and top meter still

latent gazelle
#

is the opener for raids with subt listed anywhere? saw someone say it was g,m,g,r but sim saying g,m,r

tropic ocean
honest basin
#

@runic tinsel Not as much as for a trinket that has a positional requirement

latent gazelle
#

okay ty Aus

honest basin
#

Say you have a proc of Vita and need to move far, well, at least your dots tick faster

#

Say you have a vita proc and tanks need to move 10y, you don't waste anything

#

In both scenarios with Gale you waste it

distant cypress
#

is 2% dps increase worth puryfing appendage II dagger and squeeze in strikethrough III in my corruption setup?

arctic walrus
#

How much corruption do you have if you have both on

distant cypress
#

with other pieces will give me 73 active corruption

#

would prefer to stay below 60

scarlet sequoia
distant cypress
#

if you have 4 racing pulse pieces on, doest that gives you 4 individual proccs or just one but increased by other pieces?

distant lava
#

just one

arctic walrus
#

One but added haste

distant cypress
#

for the past 3 weeks nothing else drops for me but racing pulse II and III sigh, except 430 infinite stars gloves

#

feels haste man

racing pulse is not bad

i have boots ring, gloves, wrists and dagger with racing pulls II and III, missing belt and pants and i will be complete

What type of question are you asking.

In a m+ setting?

#

In raid? Just sim it.

plain moon
#

@quasi pewter did something change? Hasn't the answer to refreshing during TB been its slightly better to just do it before TB

quasi pewter
#

up to 3s before pandemic is fine iirc

#

but only if you dont delay ur tb

is blood of the enemy the norm in raid now?
