it's worth noting that I think it's a little buggy on Ilgynoth because of the despawn-but-not-really mechanics
If you notice here it's basically juggling multiple debuffs
And I suspect on your second use you are only getting a buff from that orphaned 1 stack on the organ
At 2:00 it consumes the stacks from Ilgy and it looks okay, but wtf is happening after that
And I'm 100% sure blood should not have a single coral stack
Yo what am I doing wrong on maut here? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4dwYFG2gnBmj1yZq/#fight=6&type=damage-done
Started playing with subt since it’s simming higher but I feel like I’m not playing it right
how much do you sim
then you did not too much wrong
6k dps diff between sim and maut
is alright
I think
I think your biggest mistake might be not having Stars 
Hah
Does that not just 1 hit you on maut though
Just pray to be full hp when it procs I guess
Or be in cloak

Yeah my corruptions are kinda shite
Thought I might be turning a corner when I got carapace dagger last week finally
But nah
Don’t look at hive mind oh god it hurts
Is it because it’s going after 2nd reflect phase?
yeah
Ahh
teams have been beating that for a month or so
Not us 
or it dies right after
I’ll just pray we don’t fail to feed shad and I can get a food parse on him next week by not dying lmao
Is there a specific way to use coral with subt btw
Or do you just pop it when you vend and vanish garrotte when it’s due as normal?
How to use Razer Coral trinket?
- For Assa, apply it as soon as possible and consume stacks with each Vendetta, reapply after.
I just came back to the game and startiing paying my rogue. what are the main stats i would be looking for to do mythic+ ? what a good percent for each stat as well ?
crit/mastery is pretty good
@fleet anchor i was checking my vod, it seems like the secons usage consumes the stacks from ilgy and debuffs at the same time. Then everything bugs out with coral
@strange python any idea what i should be getting percent wise for both ? what about haste ?
Coral gets mega buggy on respawns and stuff. Happened on Azshara sometimes too
So is there a way to play around it?
Probably would be safer to either just leave it on the boss (I think it's still there when he comes back) or manually use right before he fake dies
Like make sure I get consistent usage?
how good is strikethrough II? worth running 48 corruption for it? or just cleanse?
Hmm that would work, but it's not overlapping that way all the time
@lethal imp more crit than mastery and as little haste as possible (someone correct me)
@strange python really no haste at all? I thought it was kinda good till 20% but that might have been outdated info or something? in that case i've been focusing on wroooong gear =[
I would need to double check what happens if you leave it on the boss when he despawns
It has been a while since I tried it
If you check my log, I do that
That's before 3rd organ
And when I use it on organ, it doesn't consume but applies only (unlike the first time)
And he respawns with 0 stacks
Check this out
I apply coral, get new stacks, I use coral to consume them, old stacks are back

Expedient 3 or IS 1, IS simc for 1.6k higher. Any advice?
expedient
IS is really good at simming
expedient is more consistent
fits more bosses
i'd pick exp every time
@crimson palm Yeah the behavior is really strange
Should an assassin rogue be able to 1v1 a healer
in what context
In 2v2 arena let’s say where dampening is a thing
Are there any classes that a sin rogue would have an easy time to 1v1? Any impossible 1v1s?
Alrighty
if you have the right pvp talents most classes are easy to 1v1 but if you run into someone in world pvp with raid setup for example it might be hard
hey guys so, i got my azerite pieces for keys, 465 ilvl all 3 of them, 3x SS 2xEB 1xNP
was wondering the 475 ones are they all from the vendor ?
most of them yes, there might(?) be some ss/ttk or ss/hod pieces from raid though
i really love what im running so was wonderng if i find better ones when it comes to the inner 2 circlers
cz like iw as saving the 20k resi to buy the pvp one but i noticed that maut drops one with ttk so no point in wasting 20k for 1 item
yeah you probably should swap out np for ttk if you can. But idk which pieces are bis for that setup, you probably want to get blood siphon and resoundings
i wonder if icyvein has a guide on bis pieces somewhere
have you tried simming droptimizer for azerite?
might give you an idea of what to roll for
Anyone that's like 6/12-12/12M, what are you guys usually simming on ST sin?
im not familiar with sim that much i just use top gear and stuff
droptimizer is to comapre what i dont have right ?
Yes it finds the best azerite pieces for you from the vendors or raid
it will be less accurate for aoe because i'm not sure if it properly does stealth resets for garrotes in dslice but it should give you an idea of what is top
on mythic n'zoth during paranoia is there a macro to step to your friend?
anyone played Vop major + 3xNp on N'zoth?
I have that same question, I saw some logs for nzoth with VoP in major and minor on nzoth and was wondering whats up
you have better timings with vop overall
Is the aoe opener in pinned messages with echoing blades or doesn't matter
yeah I'm playing vop major + 3x np for nzoth
Idk vop major seems bad but minor is fine
looks like a minor upgrade for me as major essence but has more rng in the min/max dps, so idk
bote is way more consistent and useful I'm just playing for the lols
what's the timings for vendetta with vop ? First or second basher, psychus, basher, then n'zoth ?
The issue is proccing on dead shit/neurons/99% dmg reduc nzoth
not sure how you got assigned but for me its 2nd basher psychus basher basher etc til boss
For me I've always done pull > psychus/nzoth > basher > nzoth > nzoth > secret chamber > nzoth for rest
did my kill without vop, had only 1 vendetta in last phase and losing one on basher after first psychus. feels bad delaying like that
well I don't think vop is necessary just depends on the comp ours is a bit set since we're melee heavy
we have 4 rogues :>
2x 2min 2x 1.5
as long as your tentacles and psychus are consistent since switching to VOP means dmg distribution is diff
yea i see
we were just bad at dmg in last phase, rest isnt really a problem
usually a bit too fast on psychus
If im running BoTe should i run VoP > Focusing iris minor.
Depends on the fight and what sims best 🙂
For m+, should i be saving vanish for the spires? Or just deal with not opening from stealth when i go down
yea there is enough time to restealth
Is bote only good with coral and master assassin?
for st
I cannot get it above condensed
its good with subt, idk how much coral impacts it, i think it actually might hurt it based on crit levels and such
clf very well just might sim better
but blood is nice for burst windows in practce
Also quick question
for quick sims, is the mutilate both mutilate and double dose stacked?
Ahh it is there is a little arrow. mb
how do you open with ss, tb, and blood?

@swift moss should be in the guides but its something along garrote mut rupt vendetta tb bote env
15x gushing wounds xd
how good/bad is torment in a jar for m+? I saw in sims it comes out on top for aoe, but i don't really see many ppl using it, i got a 460 version of it
so would go coral + titan?
not a big m+ player
but why would you play titanshard
i thought haste was bad for m+
I think he meant torment 😄
oh just cuz lot of the topb uilds used it 😂
U saw that on raider io page ?
think so but could b wrong
That page shows gear char is wearing momen that char synced I think so it doesent need to be as u see it. But I may be wrong
You can see the rest of his gear to determine if he's in a raid setup or m+ setup
Yes, indeed
does it have a high ppm?
that's not bad no
some day i'll get that coral,, think next week i'll even coin for it 😂
coral+vita is a good combo for m+
Hows the other one, the vers one
bad
its decent-ish but i'd use spyglass over it
or mythic vita as well
(this is 475 version)
Hey guys, i have a problem, im so bad at dual speccing (getting multiple azerite and stats, and i want to be viable in every aspect of the game, I eas playng outlaw but it kind of sucked in pvp compared to sin, also raids felt underwhelming to sin, but outlaw shine in m+ dont they? I tried sin i mythic+ and damage was okay not too bad, would i be able to push 15+ as sin if i wanted? And also how do i aoe as a sin rogue on multiple targets, how do i weave in with the blood of the enemy in the rotation?
I think i also like sin more in terms of gameplay
yes ofc
theres many 3k+ sin players
M+ AoE Openers
With Crimson Tempest talented
G1 G2 G3 CT FoK R1 BotE 5xFoK
Without Crimson Tempest
G1 G2 G3 R1 FoK Env BotE 5xFoK
Oh there are? 😁
yeah
Raider.IO is a World of Warcraft (WoW) Mythic+ and Raid Progression rankings site! You can view your Character & Guild Profiles, check your Mythic+ scores & Raid Progress, follow the Race to World First, and much more.
even 4k sin
basically u can push up to 22/23 with literally every spec/group setup in the game
super min maxing comp only matters at like highest keys
Oh damn, thanks alot, copied your aoe rotation
Ah well, just tab targeting real quick then
One last question if i mat
May*
Like the vendetta cd is singletarget should i still use it on aoe packs when i do m+? Because sometimes it just sit there out of cooldown
yes when there is a hard mob
or a mob with higher hp that u want to die to not super shitty place sanguines
you most likely also play with vision as minor essence which makes vendetta usable a lot more
(or on the obelisk mobs)
Which minors are the go to?
lucid breath vision
Ah i see, thanks
depending on the keystone lvl and group dps (might be harder on +15 if group has high dps this week) u will be able to use 2x vendetta on boss as well with it
which significantly increase ur boss output
Aa so i use it at pull first then
yeah
and then when its ready again u vanish garrote and vendetta again with bote
and coral extract
Will keep that in mind
theres few exceptions like the 2nd boss on siege of boralus
u will hold vendetta until he comes back down from ship
etc
but generally on pull y
Ye i understand, thanks again mate
np
anyone have a good debuff timer that shows empowered rupture/garrote timers? Used to have one in legion but uninstalled :/

awesome, thanks for the recommendation
Im sorry but i forgot to ask one thing 😉 , i know assassination is mainly a ST spec, but when i sim my character for m+ should i still sim using the dungeon slice? or should i just sim for ST?
dungeon slice isnt great for sin
you could try multiple targets 40 sec - 1 min, ST 2-3 min
and find a good middle ground for your build
but its def more annoying/difficult than simming outlaw for instance
multiple targets, should i use for like 3 target?
depends on how big your pulls are on average i guess
is it the "hectic add cleave"?
aa ok thanks
you have the "number of bosses" option
you could add "light movement" maybe
but i would argue you usually have close to full uptime on aoe in m+
I mean you should, in most dungeons atleast
ok so like sim ST and 3 Targets for like 2 min and then do something between them?
3 targets for 2 minutes
doesnt really sound realistic to me
trash packs of 3 doesnt last that long and can skew the sim
ok but like 1 min then
so the ST and multiple targets use all azerite traits different, which should i go for? nah im doing like 12s atm, but im aiming for 15s soon
like if you sim patchwerk but with 3 targets, the bot will act differently and certain azerite traits will be better. Thats my understanding at least
it wont just sit on 1 target and not cleave
From my experience with simming, the more variables you add the more clouded the results are
Skew the timers, skew the target counts
etc
m+ is not easy to sim reliably for assassination i feel like
whenever i do m+, and keep in mind i dont push keys, i do my weekly 15s and maybe some 16. I just feelcraft my shit
im gonna sim everything Zine
Sorry zine, im noob , dont know what ss is short for 😄
For most dungeons you're probs best off just going SS > EB > HoD > TTK/BBI/Swirl > 1st NP
Shrouded suffocation
its the garrote trait
Granted your tank doesn't perma chainpull
And you're allowed a split second to resteatlh between pulls
It's the strongest trait for assa
Gives the best single target, best 2-3T and still nuts on big aoe. Also best priority damage
EB (Echoing blades) is one of the better traits for overall, but it isn't used in dungeons such as kr/siege/ws/tyr ToS because of the smaller pull sizes
Heart of darkness seems very underrated but is preeetty damn good and a good option when EB isn't the pick^
Or just a good pick at any given point
hod is better in low trash dungeons cuz u cant reliable proc echoing blades
due to small pull size
TTK/Blightborne/Swirling/1st NP are all kinda the same thing
hod is just always active
A bit meh but work out just fine
no rng involved
you dont have many options it seems
thanks alot!
Also swap your daggers around 😄
always high ilvl in your mainhand
and ur trinkets are literally the worst trinekts in the game soo
if i switch my daggers, should i also switch enchants on them+
impossible right
@gray abyss https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mGTkLHgEKiAZ3JBnGuajwz
some easy gains
Oh i see, you really helping me, im an old paladin main, so i kind of suck ^.^
I also have 415 pants with Infinite stars rank 3 , should i use them or the mind flay?
dont think u want force multiplier
should def use the mindflay
ur legs option are A: better, and has a socket
and B: mindflay is generally better in m+ cus IS dmg drops with multiple targets
Bois, how to use Coral when paired with Vita?
oh ok i see
I used it only with font so far
well you apply it instantly
btw Zine, you said my trinkets are litterarly the worst in the game, which do i want for M+?
Ok
Ty, ty
@gray abyss Coral from eternal palace is good, spyglass from siege of boralus, vita from ra-den, torment in a jar from xanesh
but in ur case, i think almost any trinket is better
Harlans loaded dice not good?
but as my sim showed, you should replace the cannonball with ur bijou
But y, give or take everything else is better
ye i did
Torment is fine dmg wise but has a tendency to pull random shit
y
oh i see lool
but coral should be easy to get
cough TD cough
i think it will be hard to get into a mythic group atm, with ur current gear
but get some higher ilvl and you'll be fine
there are multiple EP weekly mythic runs going
and first 4 are free atm
ok, do i need to know tacts? or will we just dps everything down quick?
doesnt hurt to check fatboss guides or something
just so u dont get kicked for misplays
weekly lockout so you cant go in with another raid
i see, gonna try that, thanks for all your good advices
which trinket i would change first for bijou and mydas talisman?
Idk, just try to find literally w/e to replace them at this point
you can sim it once u have the trinket
so HOD> BBI?
ok so just gonna sim like you did then , 3 target 40 second?
im not completely sold on the sim-type, but ye maybe
my group would prob pull bigger than 3 targets at a time
@gray abyss also, make sure to change the sim to "nightly" build. It might not matter atm, but for future uses you shoudl always use nightly as it has the most recent changes implemented. You change it in the advanced options.
how do you use coral on the vendetta on pull with its 15s delay before you can reactivate it

u apply it on opener and then you consume the stacks on 2nd vendetta
then u reapply it
and consume the stacks 3rd vendetta
etc etc
If the idea in your head is that it doesnt seem logical/doesnt work
Its probably cus it doesnt work
4s precombat Font, Coral ASAP to start stacking.... Font when ready again at 1:56, Vendetta before next TB around 2:10, Coral into it at 2:16.
And it just becomes a stupid question
i read tc updates like a good boy
In an ideal world yeah you'd 4s precombat font but, play it safe and do it around 7s pull timer, gives you time to move to the boss in stealth, prepot and it allows your coral stacks to be consumed throughout most of your 2nd vendetta window, I haven't played with Font in a couple of weeks though but, don't make it harder on yourself and miss out on stuff.
whats the best way of multi dotting aspix and adderis so you dont get raped by the lightning shield?
focus macros
https://gyazo.com/aceb8947e2fa8665d21bb3c6be7a982a
what does subterfuge have to do with TA?
hmmm so you use a focus macro for rupture and garrote and you can dot without AAing?
ty
What is the best way to handle energy outside Lucid Dreams? Not spam buttons like crazy? Esp. ST sometimes it's slow
@strange python sim variance?
idk why would they showcase it as a dps gain with subterfuge then? idfk maybe u are right
T8 severe in m+ with 475 spyglass and coral is fun
55% crit with food buff
had 73% average crit over entire m+ on all abilities

@strange python it doesnt show that its a dps gain for twisted
it shows whats the highest talent+corruption combo per trait
Hey guys, quick question from a rookie rogue. I hate multidotting in multitarget situations abd its led me to just play entire different classes because i dont find it fun. I've come back to rogue and have talented in Tempest instead. However im worried im going to miss out on a fair bit of single target dps as im using toxic blade too? Any advice? Could i perhaps use tempest for m+ and dungeons then bomb for raids?
@rigid mango and @faint harness i got the ashvane corall 445 you told me to get 😄
got it from bonus roll 😄

haha, so which one i wanna switch , the bijou or the mydas talisman?
how did you manage to get into a mythic EP group already
dude i have no idea
well gz
they only invited 470+
you should sim it
ok
mydas is terrible, but bijou aint much better so honestly cant tell
probally wont matter too much
lol, sims tell me i get lower dps from ashvane corall???
show sims
ah
might be because of the 40 second
duration
the thing with coral is that its really good since you apply it everytime the cd is ready and then you should more or less have a crit buff rolling for most of the dungeon
and that doesnt really show in a 40 sec sim
depends
i apply it to the target im focusing in aoe
you never consume the buff
you get the crit buff from just killing the target with it
that way you should always have the cd up for every pack
so you only apply it on trashpacks, you only consume it on bosses
usually you dont get another set of cds
but usually with vendetta
otherwise when you think the boss dies in 20 sec
or the buff is wasted
aah ok
Apply the trinket-target dies-you get crit. Next pack you still have the crit buff, apply to new target-target dies-you get crit
and so on
might take a bit to get used to, but once you do its a nutty trinket
I see, im gonna train on that alot 😄
Is it me or is il'gynoth never losing coral stacks, despite activations?
its buggy
Yeah I know, I've been trying to figure out a consitent usage since yesterday
Conditions are almost the same
on our kill yesterday I only used it on boss and consumed it on him, and it didn't bug, I don't know if there is something specific that makes it bug or its just random
can someone help me with corruption gear?
@wet ruin can you send a log?
Think I found the issue, when you consume it on an organ, it looks like it properly consumes the stacks that you have on ilgynoth but doesn't remove the debuff apparently and everything goes haywire after this
nothing really goes haywire, you just need to reapply it to ilgynoth once
when ilgynoth is downstairs and holding coral stacks you can essentially treat them like they're not there, if you use it on an organ and pull it from an organ you just need to reapply to ilgynoth once for it to continue stacking
the only issue you'll run into is if you leave your coral on an organ, and don't reclaim that crit before it leaves
Using it on an organ gives you a consume buff with the stacks from Ilgy
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3CRBxw2mk8Zr6H1z/#fight=13&type=damage-done&pins=0%24Separate%24%23244F4B%24auras-gained%24-1%24114437211.0.0.Rogue%240.0.0.Any%24true%240.0.0.Any%24true%24303570^0%24Separate%24%23909049%24casts%24-1%24114437211.0.0.Rogue%240.0.0.Any%24true%240.0.0.Any%24true%24303564^0%24Separate%24%23a04D8A%24auras-gained%241%240.0.0.Any%240.0.0.Any%24true%240.0.0.Any%24true%24303568%2495&source=19 you can see here at around 2:00 when I use it on an organ, I get a buff
have you actually checked the coral stacks on the buff ingame t hat you have
I was looking at my vod, when il'gynoth respawns he doesn't have the debuff
he should have, can you see all enemy debuffs or just your own/a coral weakaura?
applied as soon as he spawned
consumed -> i have the buff and he has old 13 stacks on him
both
check the portrait, first debuff is coral
and my weakaura is above my portrait
yeah, because you didn't pull your coral stacks from the organ first probably
the only two options are either like rotating them around a lot and ending up only being able to claim coral crit on ilgy after a bit (like.. apply ilgy, apply organ, pull organ, apply ilgy to refresh stack, pull ilgy with vend later in this phase)
or you just leave it on ilgy all fight
and pull with a big vend
during the final burn
which is likely the better option for progress tbh
even though it's kinda shitty overall
I use it on organ 4
When the organ dies it doesn't pull the stacks
So yeah, that's the issue
wtf
and start spam casting the blood spawn
Check the last log then
it's just the way they designed the mobs idk it's stupid
the 2nd buff I get
That's from organ 2 "dying"
I don't cast coral and I have the buff
And somehow the adds get debuffs at the same time
i'm not sure why you got a crit buff there, it's possible the organs have some really delayed debuff cleanse or something
oh no, it's just the debuff falling
So to get a consistent usage, I apply it on pull, kill first boss, don't apply on organ, apply it on respawn on second boss and then consume on second boss?
How?
Cast is at 2:29 no?
yeah that would give you consistent usage
Oh the 1:52 cast you mean
organ2 has your coral on it at 1:38 even though the cast is only at 1:52
wtf
and when it expires at 3:38 you're getting that buff
no idea what'd cause that tbh, unless it's some jank ass cross player interaction
Hey Guys when looking at these Sims:

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3e6sLnDxpdteHXyxT4RLE4 Dungeon Slice
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/whpUQjtnNdV83WKYpNprXL 6T 40s
Would you rather suggest i should buy the echoing/ss head or go gamble for one of the chests ?
What are the timings like with that usage, do I get enough stacks after vendetta ends?
Since the initial cooldown will delay vendetta
you get plenty of stacks, since if you're not putting coral anywhere else all your ppm juice is saved up
timing wise it should end up okay i think it varies depending on how fast/slow you kill the organs, just look through your own log and check when the boss comes up
I think I'll be OK
i'd probably gamble for chest unless you're sitting on a lot of dust @magic thorn
I was running VoP, had a vendetta for each organ and each boss
We were lacking a bit of organ damage due to a small roster issue but should still be ok for next attempt
Vendetta came back up at around 50% of the boss which should be ideal with the initial cd
Sitting on 12K atm, im worried if i gamble on chest and only get shit it was worthless, but 20K is much for the helm so i wanted opinions 😄
@cobalt pelican https://www.twitch.tv/videos/581564915?t=3h11m16s check this shit out
at 7:37 combat time
the rupture applied coral
if i had to randomly shoot a guess then, casts that would apply a stack to ilgy while he's in stasis are applying to your target
pretty jank though
It's weird
Check the coral usage just afterwards
He has 4 stacks, I consume them for the last vendetta
He has 13 stacks 
Coral is just really weird on that fight
Nothing more to it
Why go so deep into such an easy explanation
You can play around it, so just do it. If there is a bug, Blizzard wont fix it anyway cus its so niche/minimal
would you play with Blood of the enemy instead of Focusing iris in m+ even if your blood of the enemy is blue?
or should i just sim it?
blood is terrible unless it is rank 3
😦
Alliance lose every bg
oh shit, didnt see
yep, i didnt think of that, thanks alot again mate
if you build for it yes
I've found it very consistent, but the highs are higher for outlaw
Got 3x SS and 2x EB + 1 HoD
the build requires correct azerite traits?
damn lol
3x SS is good tho
SS traits are fine if you have them for ST. Try to find pieces with Double Dose and nothing personal
twist the knife is ok too
outlaw and assassin have different stat prio?
boys i need assisstance
can someone tell me the opener when possible
mid raid and i'm shit
Heyo Guys icy veins states that i should ppol energy before using envenom? How much energy should i pool? I use Vigor
@shut geyser opener is pinned i think
doesnt seem like it
i mean there is like 7 different openers for assa
What are your talents and azerite traits?
I'll post a screeny of your opener
tier 30 and 90 talents that is
subterfuge and toxic blade
traits i have
2 ss, 2 nothing personal & 2 double dose
sorry 1 dd 1 twist the knife
i dont understand assa nor the dot management
reapply during pandemic window and don't override an empowered garrote
Did you read the Guides? Like, Basic gameplay is super easy.
Build CP with mutilate, keep up garrote and rupture and refresh them within pandemic window, use Toxic Blade on CD with sufficient Energy and CP to get 3 enevenoms during TBs duration
Vendetta/vanish usage etc. is outlined in the Guides
pandemic?
literally i just respecced cos im in an alt run with some guildies
and have no idea what im doing
Check the pinned Messages
Pandemic is explained there
And it also has links to the Guides
RIP, I moved back to my home realm. My addons reset and all my talents and now I am totally drawing a blank on talent builds lol.
It’s a pretty standard build that’s run this tier
The only thing that really changes is whether subterfuge or master assassin is better
I've been running Tempest for M+ a lot but I didn't even know master assassin is a thing, ugh.
lol, I am just confused as to why when I copy and past my addons from the old server to the new one but nothing is showing up
I don't even see that pandemic in the pins
pandemic means if u reapply under 30% of the original duration of ur rupture for example it will be on top of the new duration of ur rupture
So instead of waiting for it to get close to dropping your just applying it sooner?
what about vendetta/vanish cds
assuming you dont hold vendetta
still lost on the opener
Dumb question, how do you sim for raids? just patchwerk for like 3 or 5 min? or would dungeon slice work?
for raids patchwerk 5 min is standard
gotcha
If I was a stronger rogue, it wouldn't matter but I want to make sure I didn't mess up my talents and gear lol
For what content
Bote/botd
Anyone got a macro that will cast garrote over rupture?
Whut
just looking for 1 button to do both if I'm stealthed or not
lol
(hint, you super often do)
I was just thinking of that guy who vanish rupture
nightstalker meta lul
if i got a head 480 and it has scent of blood and echoing blades
so now im running 3xEBs and 2SS and no NP
is this bad ?
+1 scent of blood on 480 ilvl
Hey in warcraftlogs I see a lot of rogues running vita charged titanshard on ST fights. I got one but it seems lower than a 435 font of power or/and galecaller boon 460
how come ?
just because it sims lower for you doesn't mean it sims lower for everyone else. corruption, azerite etc play into it heavily
It's what I was asking, sometimes some stuff don't sim so high but are good
the other hypothesis is that it sims lower for the others too but they play it because it's better in practice ? My char looks like most rogue assa playing it so I'm a bit surprised
(also because the overall value of vita with the added haste to allies can frequently out value the single dps gain for yourself by using font)
- people hate font coral 🙂
it sims even lower than my 460 galecaller boon
Do you have coral?
I do but only a 430 one
It wont
Most likely
But point still stnads
- why care about optimising current stuff if u wont just go get a myth coral 😛
I do it
I have 14 kills on HC Ashvane no titanforging, and 10 kills on mythic Asvane :/
with a lot of coins
I was clearing it when it was current content, we just didn't do many reclear with my guild and never got lucky on that trinket
Is it normal that sims tell me to take subterfuge instead of MA with no SS traits on my gear?
Yeah, at some point you have enough crit that MA has diminished returns
Subt scales better and doesn't DR.
ok makes sense, got a couple of gem slots recently so those crit gems might have put me there. Thanks!
so now im on 3 480 pieces
3x EBs 2x SS 1x scent
cant get another SSon a 480 and cant get a NP
is it bad for keys ?
CLF isnt bis for ST anymore? I see people using BotE even in ST fights
crimson tempest seems like a really coola bility, is it viable in mythic+?
its used in most scenarios
nice
A few things @cunning geyser
- APL for Galecallers was cleaned up a little bit recently, it may have been a little undervalued before especially for Galecallers+Coral
- Everything depends on the gear people have. It's easier to get Vita in a lot of ways since it drops for everyone in raid and there are many flying around
- Ilevel matters a lot, so do player Haste levels. So everyone's value for it is different
I'm using 475 Vita because it sims best for me, but it might not sim best for everyone else. And also doesn't mean a 460 would beat other things by default.
@fleet anchor Thank you for answer, so do you think that these rogues that are ranking have their vita that sim higher ?
ok that answers it
Also things like sockets and tertiaries come into play
Also think in raids that the proc of Vita has a fair amount of value, although that is hard to quantify
If two trinkets were really close I would run Vita
If you are in a group with 4 other DPS you are adding another 1k Haste value to your procs
Also haste = more stars + td so
since a lot of people use those they just stack haste
I asked this once before awhile ago, but needed a reminder, for vision runs - same build just exsang is used instead of tb?
same build as what?
mythic sorry
oh deeper too?
vigor works too
but ur burst with exsang is better with deeper
not a huge difference and for trash vigor is propably better
gotcha, could you run ma as well?
ah
you dont run ma with ss traits
right derped there for a moment
Do we pool energy for toxic blade?
Not sure I understand the opener for assassination rogues in the pins, spec'd into poison bomb. What should you're opener look like?
is there a video guide i can follow for assa?
like if i should hold vanish, opener, when to pool etc
having troubles atm
seems like everyone wants to know their opener / mid fight vendettas lol
what pots you guys use for m+ for prio dmg?
Do we keep rupture up when maxing points with fok on m+ trash or just spam fok and ct at <2 sec remaining after initial opener
K so rupture any targets with 4-5 pts unless CT is gonna drop ?
Depends on the Situation, but ye: generally you need to maintain garrote(s) and rupture(s) to maintain Energy from venemous wounds.
If the Pack is about to die in a sec or two,, it's also not worth refreshing CT
Otherwise keep CT up, sure
Ok thanks !
so guys for keys, i upgraded my azerite to 480
got 3 x EBs 2x SS and either scent of blood or envenom
what would u recomend
Ttk
If you don't only use it for giga pulls only, where you only Spam fok. Like TD big pulls before First Boss or smth. Then sob is better.
But for a General Setup, TTK I'd say
thts what i was thinking too
like on big pulls wasting so much time on gcd ruptures insted of fan envenom
instead
what does the rest of u guys think
ight
im just too dumb to comprehend
do i just consume my coral stacks whenever vendetta is up?
yes
welp, im -10iq
do you log your runs at all
my experience with it is that it's just exceedingly average, and significantly worse than severe if you have the option
ideally id like to run severe, ye
might just be a bit overbudgeted with 35corruption for a T3 DM
i think deadly momentum is super ok as a filler though, like it definitely contributes
seems to have almost 100% uptime on trash
had 440sec and 600sec uptime on 5stacks earlier in a waycrest
it just never drops as long as theres 2 or more targets
I think it's generally fine now yes
The uptime now that it has increased duration should be reasonable
Think that's around what it sims at anyway. I'm seeing 96.2% for my own gear
sub 40 corruption
how good is the attack from behind / haste proc meca rings?
ty
Can you make shrouded suffocation work with master assassin? Just open with garrote and follow MA opener?
why would you run shrouded without sub?
ok just wondering if its viable at all, the next best thing in my azerite ring is heart of darkness but i'm waiting for >25 corruption
heart of darkness is insane to be fair
It is not viable
Subterfuge is ridiculously stronger for SS than MA
It's like an 8% DPS loss with 3x SS to use MA
ashvanes coral from eternal palace
outside of that think dead eyespyglass from siege is prob next best thing
easier to farm too
thanks..
@arctic tulip vita or font are better than spyglass 🙂
ok.. I do have coral and vita.. so I should be good..
Then you should be in good hands, yeah
The vast majority of people use bote major
even for single target?
combined with lucid, botd and strife (vop situationally) it's the most standard setup
And yes.
hmm.. i'll have to try it.. I have been using clf..
CLF is good also
i dont have strife.. so I can use vop
Just that it's more reliant on kill timers tha blood, and overall less used probably on the basis of personal pref, than blood
And vop is used situationally, i.e when a fight needs a 1.5 min timer instead of a 2 min timer
makes sense.. I may need to start working on strife then
Sounds like a plan 🙂
thank you!
what would be the highest dps increase major essence at rank 1? without having all the raid essences
for st
breath.. maybe...?
Lucid probs granted u don't have it at all
what are the rules/situations for going master assassin over suberfuge or vice versa if you have double dose?
You pick the one that sims best 🙂
hm yeah thought as much
For most that should be subt.
tyty
also: if you aren't running VoP and have BoTE, when BoTE comes off cooldown do you use it asap or save it for your 2nd vendetta?
Save
👍
Could someone explain to me why on this report: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/tbqnCf824ArJpxZN#fight=1&type=casts&source=14&view=timeline&by=source he doesn't use his first vanish to re-apply empowered garotte after the first one runs out?
he does very many wrong things
but he has corruption that does 90% of his damage
welcome to 8.3 🤷♂️
but I'm correct in that you would use your first vanish to reapply empowered garotte after it falls off?
ye
apologies for the incoming spam of questions but I've come back from a long break lol
What is the priority for: Rupture coming up to pandemic window or DP running out so you reapply DP with a 4-5 CP envenom THEN reapply rupture but at a shorter time in the pandemic window
Rupture
wait
U never care about poison application it is naturally up all the time as long as you attack the target
It also is not only applied by envenom but by your auto attacks too
nono sorry I asked the wrong question
what has higher priority, pooling for reapplying rupture during pandemic window with max CP for maximum time on rupture or using envenom at 4CP to keep EP up THEN reapply rupture but with less time?
so doesen't matter that your EP falls off as long as you get max cp rupture?
oh okay so you can still reapply with 4+
U dont use max cp
right okay
U apply with 4+
so if u get 5cp from good crits u use it
If u dont u just apply with 4
For ep buff u can clip it but the dps inc is small
awesome
Uptime of it is naturally taken care of by following basic rotation/priority
and during toxic blade do you want to maximise envenoms casted or still wait for EP to fall off before using envenom again (same question but during vendetta/ bote window)
As long as you get 2+ in u are fine
Try to get asmuch in as possible
3 or 4 with good crits are max
but would you use envenom again when EP has 3+ seconds left?
And no u dont care about ep during tb u just pump
to allow you to pool energy
u pool before tb - not during
to max energy? or?
yeah what I mean is the main priority is to get max uptime on EP during TB not to aim to pool during TB
Ah right
U dont actively care about ep uptime
same thing with vendetta window?
It takes care of itself by following priority/rotation
vendetta window is always the same too yeah
ok cool
sin is basically tb on cd, keep bleeds up and dont overcap energy
Pool energy before tb
Thats all
and one last question: when you're using your second vanish for empowered garotte do you use it twice for the longer uptime or just once?
ok makes sense
You usually use it once
Inside of pandemic of running garrote
So u will have max dot time
ah yeah I forgot the second usage will be for pandemic timer from the first garotte
I guess what I'm asking is for the 3rd vanish do you use it again for the exra 5 seconds of empowered garotte timer?
Afaik outside first vanish u always use it once to extend pandemic for max time
Always the same usage after first
well after the 1st vanish you won't have another empowered garotte to extend pandemic from. so the second vanish is used to reapply the emp garotte
sorry I said third
you dont need to extend empowered ones
when you extend a garrote with a empowered one
it will overwrite it
and full duration will be empowered
Is 30k overall dps in a mythic+9 sethrallis ok? we mostly did small packs all the time, im 450 avrg ilvl
heavily depends on your traits
I dont have logs sadly, gonna try set up logs frol now on
but 30k overall is very low
Thats what i thought
thats basically less overall than you did with -30ilvl
nono Ausr, when you vanish and reapply garrote it extends the timer I'm only talking about re-applying during vanish
you use vanish to extend your running garrote inside pandemic
thats it
the new garrote will have max duration and is empowered
yeah so my question was: on your 2nd vanish (when there is currently no emp garrote on your target) do you A) Just apply 1 garotte for normal 18 second timer or B) hit garotte twice during subterfuge window for 23 seconds of application
ohh right the normal garrote
Can you see my traits here? https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/sylvanas/blightforge
when you extend a normal garrote with vanish it will become an empowered garrote
my bad..
@gray abyss yeah your helm and shoulder traits are terrible for m+
you want 3ss +hod/eb
What is ss, hod and eb?
but even with 1eb ss you should do way more than 30k overall
shrouded suffocation, echoing blades, heart of darkness
So i should have 3 ss, 1 eb and 1 hod?
Like i tried hard putting garrote on everything, rupture and fok, dunno why i did that low :/
Used coral every pack
coral probs isn't ur best option for packs
@gray abyss no you dont specifically want 1 eb and 1 hod, you want 3ss and then as many eb or hod traits as possible
3ss 3hod is fine, 3ss 3eb is fine too
etc
ttk is also ok
but significantly worse than hod/eb
Oh ok, but ppl told me coral is bis :/
What is ttk?
twist the knife
But do you recommend me buying 445 azerite untill i get the right traits, and then i only upgrade if i get better azerite gear with same traits?
thats what I do on basically all my alts
is assassination the best spec for raiding or should i just stick to outlaw u guys think?
What do you mean Ausr+
but like for packs specifically would you not replace coral with something like torment in a jar just because you can't stack coral enough?
Yea its a trinket 😁
I bought 450 azerites until I had 3x good trait combo
and then upgraded from there
@round crypt coral is one of the best overall trinkets in the game
as u have perm uptime of the buff because if a mob dies with coral on it you get the buff and can instantly use the trinket on next mob
ah okay
I think in my case only having a 400 coral with a 460 torment torment is a lot better in my situation but I get what you mean
I managed to have like 100% uptime on, but some aoe packs my damage just sucks
Serious question - which azerite piece is totally BIS for raiding for assa? Gorak Tuls? Got 20k of TR and don't wanna gamble.
not so sure about that
gorak tuls shoulder yes
unless you have access to mythic nzoth, then this shoulder might be better, other than that vexiona/carapace chest, and raden helmet (if you have access to mythic versions of it) if not slithering loa helm and cephalohide jacket from m+ azerites
If i fight 3 targets i garote them all, rupture one, fok then envenom then fok 5 times? Then vanish and repeat?
Unfortunately no, don't think that we will beat him in a month or two. Maybe with ridiculous amount of corruption resistance in the future.
@gray abyss u g1 g2 g3 r1 bote spam fok 5x
gorak tuls is very good and also very versatile
go for it
if you already have saved up
use vanish to garrote again when ur garrotes run out or to spread more garrotes if needed

So if there are 6 target i g1 g2 g3 r1 vanish g4 g5 g6 r4 Bote fok?
@gray abyss I think it depends how fast the the mobs dying... There's no reason to use vanish+more garrotes if half of them are going to be dead in a few seconds.
True
in a pack with 6 about same hp mobs thats about right yea
😊
Gonn try fins some azerite pieces with good traits and setup logs and maybe you can see what im doing wrong
sure mate good luck
How much energy do i pool before i use enevenom ?
Aslong as your bleeds are up and you're not overcapping energy you can pool as much as you want without losing dps
as much as possible
why u want to pool your energy?
you always want to pool as much as possible so you can get as many envenoms as possible in your tb window
ah
@plain thistle for the corruptions you have there, feels like 35% basecrit is giga low :x
but looks good 🙂
id also run versatile nav instead of masterful
guys what is the best major essence for mythic +? I got lost between blood of the enemy and essence of focusing iris
bote
if the giga-crit builds really picks up and performs super well, we might actually consider dropping BotE 😮

how id love to play formless void
and just yoink lucid major on bosses and bote/iris on aoe 😮
play DS
with 2 or even 3 TTK
a man can dream
I did a 14 key with my crit build last night, had 72-73% crit on all abilities on average
But thats with bote
lucid major 
@rigid mango whats with the envenom uptime? should i pool between 2 enevnoms and if yes how long?
Aslong as your mutilates are within env buff it's fine, granted you're playing DD's.
Which give or take happens naturally w/o thinking about it nowadays because of the natural haste, haste procs and lucid makes the spec a lot smoother and in that process, no brain
any advice for a returned player?
yes
learn m+ paths before you blindly join keys
??? how are you gonna learn if not by doing low level keys
guides?
and if he is 410 he knows the dungeosn somewhat because he has done them before

I have a question , when it comes to myth+ I know crit i main stat, but at some point should we move to versa or stick with crit ?
When playing with EB you can never have enough crit
Hard to reach that, maybe with bote
Is Sob good for mythic+?
Depends on your playstyle, try sim dungeonslice or 6Targets 40s without bl
ok mate
dont sim dungeonslice
Any kind of sim for myth + is wrong
What kind of stats does 3ss 3np + vp build would favor
I gues you should sim it! But if VP stands for Vision of Perfection you should reconsider the Essence since it heavily Desycncs your Cooldowns and you want Vanish for Vendetta anyways(Maybe you can get away with that as a Nightelf )
it syncs your cooldowns with ST, vanish kinda shit CD if you are playing no SS
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mruUuH7kqpWB28Rd9obWiH can someone check and see if they can make the SS-exsan build work here?
what race sims highest for m+ on horde? are there major difference between them?
You'll either go troll for haste, maghar for the agi proc or whatever it is, belf for the purge or gob for the extra dash
It's utility mostly afaik
how would it ever be 40 seconds unless you're playing vop
Noob question but should I be using Poison Bomb or Hidden Blades when solo run 5 masks visions?
poison bomb
Thanks
Toxic blade or excanguinate for m+ with 3ss ?
both are viable, i personally prefer exsg
is expedient a bit of a trap corruption?... sims really well for me with triple SS but dont see alot of top sins running it?
I personally prefer tb due to it's easy throw in nature. if you look at the M+ openers in the pins from seli. You garrote 3 times rupture up and start fok -ing. Can't find a good use to throw in a exang in there
You have to understand that top logs this patch is mostly giga rng with stars / flay. Expedient is very good and consistent
sorry meant for m+
haste is not very good for assa in m+, it is the worst secondary
im new to assa and would learn it for ST fights. where i can find the opener with Bote essence?
Do a quicksim and look into the sample ability query
Opener changes depending on if you use master assassin or subterfuge. Also if you got ss traits or not
