Why would nzoth be higher than others

#

Drestagath has constant ticking aoe dmg as rogue

wet ruin
#

what do you mean why

#

n'zoth literally has a ticking dot the whole fight

faint harness
#

Cus its the same dmg profile

#

You take constant dmg from the big tentie clouds on drestagath

wet ruin
#

sure, but my point was that n'zoth would be the fight with damage takes at all times

fleet anchor
#

I’d need to look at more logs but you could probably expect uptimes will be kinda random on short pulls.

faint harness
#

Shadhar also have constant aoe dmg

#

Torment on xanesh, ruin on ra-den

wet ruin
#

its not constant

#

frequent, maybe, not constant

faint harness
#

Nzoth is the same?

wet ruin
#

you have a dot

faint harness
#

P1 you dont take dmg every second

#

Only if targeted by spikeys and he does the aoe pulse

wet ruin
#

no

#

you do

#

Infinity's Toll

fleet anchor
#

It does proc from Toll yes.

wet ruin
#

its a dot that is applied at the start

#

is there at all times

#

deals damage every 5 seconds

faint harness
#

Must be really minimal dmg

wet ruin
#

it is

#

but is damage

faint harness
#

Yea

#

Just dont notice it

wet ruin
#

your healers do 😄

faint harness
#

Barely

fleet anchor
#

But since it’s RPPM it shouldn’t matter too much. N’zoth will just easily make it hit the max target.

wet ruin
#

and it procs surging vitality which was the point

fleet anchor
#

In a more consistent way

faint harness
#

Cheesed it with MW doing all the healing, poor healers

#

Point was that its an underestimated corruption

#

Does it proc from eye dmg

wet ruin
#

I guess what I am trying to say is if I want to gamble with rppm I would probably do it with tentacle

#

since SV is not consistent

faint harness
#

and tentacle is?

wet ruin
#

eh?

#

I said both are not, and I would rather gamble with tentacle

fleet anchor
#

Yeah but Lonewolf is sitting on 474 SV pieces but using VR3 item. So I think it’s better anyway. 🙂

#

Even at 30% probably lol

#

That’s the only reason I mentioned.

#

It’s an average corruption for sure but he has good ilevel pieces.

wet ruin
#

I think the conversation started by simming it at 50%

#

which I think is unrealistic

fleet anchor
#

I would sim at 50% because it will be at that for the later fights that are most important. And for any solo play, HVs, etc.

strange python
#

i simmed it at 50% and here are the results

fleet anchor
#

But can always check 35% or something too

strange python
#

you guys dont have solo play sets? wtf

#

( i dont have premium thats why its messy u have to scroll down to 53 corruption)

fleet anchor
#

Bold 😄

#

Fortune favors the corrupted.

wet ruin
#

I am simming it with 30% which seems to be the average considering all bosses

strange python
#

as i said u have to scroll down to 48/53

#

im not going to play with 88

faint harness
#

depends on prog Annsie

#

30% over an entire fight, sure, if you're just looking at maximizing overall dmg

#

but if its a lot higher in like ra-den p2

#

which has ruin dmg going every few sec

#

its a lot more worth than a 30% sim

wet ruin
#

I mean, I guess it could be better for progress

faint harness
#
  • the defensive bonus you get
strange python
#

if i could only go for 68 then i could play my striketrthoguh dagger

wet ruin
#

but if its rppm, then its still rng, so being in a later phase wouldn't necessarily mean it will proc

night vale
#

What sort of sims are people pulling nowadays, below 40 corruption?

strange python
#

Hidden blades or poison bomb for Hivemind?

scarlet sequoia
#

poison bomb

faint harness
#

@wet ruin more dmg taken events make it more likely to proc tho

wet ruin
#

I guess

faint harness
#

i mean all this surging vit hype is only cus it was prob a better option for lonewolf

#

i dont play it even tho i have it for a reason

wet ruin
#

whats your reason

faint harness
#

i have TA on 485 items which means its base dmg is higher

#

and nothing beats my severe corruptions

wet ruin
#

so it just doesn't sim better 😄

faint harness
#

i have tried to swap to non-severe corruptions since release of 8.3

#

but nothing beats it

#

pretty much

#

but i am done with prog since 5 weeks ago, only play for fun now

#

not gonna play surging vit for fun

wet ruin
#

I mean, thats a valid reason, when you said for a reason I thought you meant something else

#

yea, same

faint harness
#

wathcing TA get nutty procs is more fun

wet ruin
#

like I said, I would rather take the tentacle rng and hope for the best

strange python
#

Thank you for all the answers

faint harness
fleet anchor
#

I’ve used it for N’zoth some weeks for sure depending on my resist amounts

#

And how it fits in

#

Since I have a 475 bracer with a socket with it. So it tends to pop up now and again.

wet ruin
#

@faint harness did you play sub on n'zoth monkaS

faint harness
#

once

#

just for fun

wet ruin
#

madlad

faint harness
#

bit rusty

#

so i wanna get back into it

wet ruin
#

not going down huh?

faint harness
#

nah

#

i was planned to go down in psychus2 but i kept dying cus of lack of sustain

#

so we swapped in a DH from psychus 1, but i didnt get to go down psychus1

#

so chasing tentacles for 200+ pulls in p1

#

not very fun

wet ruin
#

yea, I wasn't going down for first kill as well

#

good for boss damage though

faint harness
#

well

#

our other rogue isnt using vendetta on psychus

#

so it would have been the same i guess

wet ruin
#

you can stack coral upstairs

#

or I did atleast

faint harness
#

true

#

i dunno how big difference it is compared to stacking it on psychus

wet ruin
#

you mean he leaving it on the boss?

#

and going down

faint harness
#

nah on the psychus

#

in the downphase

#

so you get the crit when it dies -> instant boss anyway

#

might be like 3-4 stacks ish, in difference

wet ruin
#

comparing it to what

faint harness
#

being upstairs and stacking since min 1

wet ruin
#

ah

#

well stacking is better for boss damage for sure

#

I usually get to 10+

#

for each stun phase

faint harness
#

ye mine was prob a bit lower than that, cant remember

#

around 8-9

#

it was a lot more annoying to stack it as sub tho

wet ruin
#

some pulls you get to 15

faint harness
#

nightblade not lasting long enough

#

no poison ticks

wet ruin
#

yea, I just keep bleeds at all times

faint harness
#

same-ish

wet ruin
#

stacks pretty high

faint harness
#

it might have dropped a few times

#

but i tried to keep some dmg rolling on it

#

i did not enjoy the bossfight tho

#

p1 was simply too long if you didnt do psychus, and vendetta is a trash CD for the tentacles

#

they always die before you get full usage

wet ruin
#

I don't use vendetta on tentacles

#

only on the first one at the start

faint harness
#

do you sit on it?

wet ruin
#

yea

faint harness
#

i mean theres no reason to sit on it either?

#

its back up

wet ruin
#

what do you mean

faint harness
#

you can use it at least 2 times

#

and also on boss

wet ruin
#

I think I tried and couldn't

faint harness
#

like ye the value is shit, but its more than 0

wet ruin
#

so i just saved my second vendetta on boss

faint harness
#

fair

#

boss dmg all that matters anyway

wet ruin
#

yes

#

I got rank 2 boss damage on out first kill kekw

faint harness
#

i had terrible tentacle rng on first kill

#

did 500k dmg to nzoth

#

over the entire fight

wet ruin
#

oof

#

it should be fairly consistent there

#

because of the length

faint harness
#

yea i dunno

#

prob procd on the wrong tings

#

like the add in heart chamber

wet ruin
#

when do you use vendetta on the tentacles though

faint harness
#

hmm

#

i dunno if i remember wrong

#

but i think it was during prog when i was running vop minor

#

on kill i actually didnt use it twice

wet ruin
#

ah, with vop it can work

#

I wasn't running it

Hey all, new here. Was just about to swap to outlaw to test it out when I came across this place! Currently sitting at 440ilvl, sim tops at 35.5k, ran heroic nya with guild last night and was lucky to pull 15k in hivemind. Chalk it up to total nub, thought i had rotations decent but kept botching some things throughout fight. Hope to learn some from everyone here 😄

subtle tundra
#

15k monkaS

#

check guides

#

lusty swallow
#

Yeah, it was bad and i feel bad. Lol

neon glen
#

How much ilvl for m+ does the 3xSS, 3xEB make up for? Currently sitting on 3x365 ilvl pieces with 2xSS, 2xEB, NP, DD and wondering if I should spend residiuum on 365 pieces to get 3xSS/3xEB or just wait till tuesday and hope for good roll on 480 piece

Oh nice timing as im looking at setting up elvui and weak auras hah

#

Hello everybody. Is anyone here who speaks Polish?

#

I have a problem with my rogue and I would like to advise here what to do to have a larger dps

#

sim with no buff

strange python
#

is void ritual better than TA at 2+ targets on raden? i could put in 1 more void ritual 35 corruption and swap it out for my TA 35 corruption
is there a way to sim this?

dark crag
#

TA does dmg regardless of targets. It maybe hit an add or orb but they need to die too. The tentacle doesn't despawn when its target dies

surreal bolt
#

I think he’s asking if the raw stars are more beneficial on multi

#

Stats**

strange python
#

yeah im basically asking at how many targets the stats are better than the TA dmg or how to sim for it

dark crag
#

Raden mythic?

strange python
#

yes

dark crag
#

I sticked to raden and let the mages wl, dh and warri do the adds

#

Maybe a bleed on the adds

#

You can ofcourse sim like beastlord or hectic add cleave just to look. Also inform yourself if others use vr

fathom swift
#

Cleave add is probably closer to raden than hac or beastlord

strange python
#

the highest assa used void ritual thats why the question popped up to begin with ill only rupture and garrote the add anyway

dark crag
#

Someone should make a customizable setting. Add number, spawntimes, etc. That would be really nice

#

Like you can set the fight exactly like you want

fathom swift
#

You can in simc, its not super hard to learn

cobalt pelican
#

the issue isn't setting up the fightstyle tbh, it's more that like 30 of the 36 specs wouldn't even work i don't think

fathom swift
#

Its just the behaviour might not be what you would expect yeah

dark crag
#

Why wouldn't they work?

#

I am no programming pro but isn't the core just if else?

#

5 targets for 5 min or 2 for 1 and 3 for last 2 mins, would that really brake it?

fleet anchor
#

@wet ruin does look like they fixed the proc rate for Vitality on Xanesh though.

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Qz2TAFvf4bCaDyMd#fight=10&type=auras&translate=true&ability=318211&source=9
(40-45% or so, high P2)
Ra-den:

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/7QkmvczDB4hwntTM#fight=9&type=auras&translate=true&ability=318211

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/9vyjYtPpBQN4zn8b#fight=56&type=auras&translate=true&ability=318211
(Would estimate around 40-45% once the DoTs start going out on everyone and adds start exploding past 2 minute, not much in the first 2 minutes)

So TL;DR, I'd say it's pretty good on the majority if fights. It's going to be low in the 30s on Wrathion and Hivemind, maybe Maut. Not strong at the start of Ilgy/Vex/Ra-den but kicks in later. 50%+ on the other fights.

#

Also of note, confirmed it does proc from standing in your own Eye of Corruption

wet ruin
#

its still rng, there are also some < 30% on those fights as well

#

so pretty much like tentacles

fleet anchor
#

I mean of course it is RNG, but that is all corruptions

#

The variance here is generally lower than TA though

#

1 RPPM has crazy high variance

wet ruin
#

the question was more how to sim it

fleet anchor
#

TA is all over the place

wet ruin
#

since it can be like 30% or 60%

fleet anchor
#

I would say sim for what fights you care to sim for. I would sim 50% generally and then check to see if there is some big corruption set difference at 35%

#

And maybe make two sets

#

Personally I'd lean towards using it on Ilgy/Carapace/N'zoth/Drest/Shadhar/Xanesh/Skitra as effective ~45-50%, Ra-den/Vex probably would view that way too since P2 uptime is of most concern (obviously not gonna proc in intermission flyovers)

#

Also probably worth strategically standing in low stack Eye of Corruption pools slightly more aggressively on some of the fights 😛

wet ruin
#

the question is if its gonna be better than the tentacle, considering both of them have some variance

fleet anchor
#

Well that is only something that sims can tell you, so that's why I was looking for rough target values for people to input. 🙂

wet ruin
#

I mean, the sim can tell me the average for the tentacle

#

and for SV I need to guess if I will have 30% uptime or 50%

#

or do both those sims, and get the mean or something

fleet anchor
#

I don't think you have to guess, it's just per-fight. You know the fight you are equipping the gear for, so it's not an unknown factor.

wet ruin
#

yea, but those fights are just "you can get good uptime on this fight", doesn't mean you will

fleet anchor
#

It's OK to sim the average for SV for the fight, TA is being averaged out as well. It's apples to apples.

#

TA can give you 6% one pull and 30% the other pull

#

You don't manually select that, you just consider the mean

wet ruin
#

yea, exactly and its gonna be the same with SV, will I get more procs and keep 50% or will I get no procs (even on a fight with alot of dmg), and is tentacle rng better than sv rng

fleet anchor
#

Any encounter with enough trigger attempts will converge on ~50% because it is RPPM

wet ruin
#

well then this should be true for tentacle

fleet anchor
#

Just like Tentacles converge on 1 RPPM on average

wet ruin
#

and in reality I've had 0 procs on 3 min fights

fleet anchor
#

1 RPPM is notoriously high variance

wet ruin
#

it is yes

fleet anchor
#

TA is probably one of the most random things in the game 😦

wet ruin
#

my point is that it can happen to SV

fleet anchor
#

SV it is less likely though because it is 2 RPPM at least.

#

Chance per trigger is generally higher

wet ruin
#

so its weather you wanna go with the 'slightly better consistent rng' or just blast with 3 tentacles in your opener 😄

fleet anchor
#

Like if you really want to fish for parses you run TA because it has pretty much the highest top-end when you get good RNG, even if the average case is mediocre most pulls 😛

#

But that's also why I don't personally like it all that much for prog

#

But it is what it is. Corruption is quite RNG in general.

wet ruin
#

yea, I am mostly looking for farm, done with progress for a couple of weeks

#

so something like tentacle could be fun when it procs

stray folio
#

!coral

prisma monolithBOT
#

The way to use coral in M+ is using it on your priority target,
and then whenever that target dies, reapply it to your next target.
Whenever your target dies it gives you the crit it would give from using it,
so consuming the stacks for crit mid pack is generally suboptimal.

wet ruin
#

I would prefer to have a couple more GW or % stat, but what can you do

faint harness
#

if you have vers % items

#

etc

#

i can see surging vit being really good

wet ruin
#

yes, I thought about it as well

#

but I only have one

#

that is rank 1

#

and with it I have less versa 🙂

faint harness
#

I can equip 18% vers items

#

i mean 18% from corruption

#

and i got 475 dagger with T3 SV

#

but then i lose 485 TA

#

might try it at some point tho

wet ruin
#

imagine having 2 of those

faint harness
#

just 2.5k less dps 🙂

#

with 10 more corr

wet ruin
#

put plumage

faint harness
#

a lot less rng tho

candid jasper
royal lantern
#

i hate you

wet ruin
#

low peepostudy

faint harness
#

trolling or what

candid jasper
#

No lol, sorry

faint harness
#

ur playing 1 SS in shoulders, very strnage

candid jasper
#

I mean, my other rogue pals in the guild are simming around 95k

#

I can't get anywhere near that

fathom swift
#

I doubt it

drifting cloud
#

doubt

rancid bobcat
#

infinite stars

wet ruin
#

those rings though....

royal lantern
#

maybe 95k with like rank9IS and 300corruption

fathom swift
#

Hitting 95k as assa is like either insane gear or insane corruption

wet ruin
#

no such thing as insane gear, only corruption

candid jasper
#

One moment

rancid bobcat
#

im 94k with 125 corruption worth of infinite stars

#

and could probably push to 95k if i socketed the rest of my gear

#

so yeah you need like full socket full IS

candid jasper
#

He's lowered his corruption

#

to 43

rancid bobcat
#

thats infinite stars

candid jasper
#

but when he plays up to 58, he gets 95k

#

I mean, the sim could be wrong if you guys are sure it's impossible

rancid bobcat
#

it's not wrong

#

it's just infinite stars

wet ruin
#

rank 4 IS

rancid bobcat
#

said it multiple times now

#

plus r3 expedient

fathom swift
#

Thats also not 95k

candid jasper
#

bolas, please read what I wrote shortly after

#

but @rancid bobcat thanks, that makes sense

rancid bobcat
#

and a good coral

candid jasper
#

(I do have similar, I haven't yet had any infinite stars, but been quite lucky with gushing wound x3)

#

My coral is also pretty decent

rancid bobcat
#

infinite stars will sim higher in patchwork than gushing wounds

#

wait i lied

wet ruin
#

will it though

rancid bobcat
#

i thought it did but i guess not anymore

fathom swift
#

Yeah I'm skeptical he would gain 4k dps just going up 20 corruption

rancid bobcat
#

but it's still easier to grab r2 r3 IS than 8x gushing wound

candid jasper
#

I am under the impression that gushing wound sims best per unit of corruption x

wet ruin
#

I am not sure if IS was ever better, in terms of dps/corruotion

faint harness
#

@candid jasper ur correct

#

but a T3 IS will sim more raw dps

#

but it also costs 75 corr

candid jasper
#

hm, interesting, thanks 🙂

rancid bobcat
#

i think if you really stack the haste, IS still might pull ahead

candid jasper
#

I seem to be able to keep up, none the less, which is probably because I believe the uptime of gushing wounds is around 60%

rancid bobcat
#

especially if you fill some corruption with expedient

candid jasper
#

so on multiple targets, it's better

rancid bobcat
#

base gear on hero damage doesn't include sockets i believe, and some pieces don't have haste

wet ruin
#

your gear is insane, those rings pepeez

candid jasper
#

My traits aren't too amazing to be honest, I haven't got a gorak tul yet

flint gorge
#

hey fellas i have a question about azurite skills idk which ones to chose i just boosted a rouge and i have the starter stuff they give at 120 gear

candid jasper
#

@wet ruin yeah those rings! 😄

rancid bobcat
#

and doesn't have any vers either

candid jasper
#

I've actually got some strange gems/enchants atnm

wet ruin
#

you just need to put some sockets/get better vita/azerite and I believe you could be simming 93+

candid jasper
#

I would love gorak tul's mantle! ❤️

rancid bobcat
#

always hold residuum for gorak

faint harness
#

unless u prog mythic

#

inting personal loot

wet ruin
#

are they better push

#

the n'zoth ones

faint harness
#

no but you cant trade with personal loot

#

if you dont have higher azerite

wet ruin
#

I mean gorak vs n'zoth

#

since I got n'zoth I stopped rolling for gorak and started to roll for some SS/EB on head or chest 😄

candid jasper
#

er, lol, I do have the ones from n'zoth

#

but for some reason, the corrupted gladiator simmed higher

wet ruin
#

490?

candid jasper
#

Nah, 475 😦

#

so 5 ilvl lower than the corrupted gladiator

rancid bobcat
#

if ur guild cant handle not being able to trade mythic azerite in the 1st week (where you prob dont even have the residuum to buy a random anyway) then idk

wet ruin
#

yea, thats probably why

candid jasper
#

I'm not overly happy with my rank 4 twisted appendage either to be honest

#

The RNG damage is somewhat dumb imo

#

Hoping I can get more gushing! 😛

rancid bobcat
#

dont count on it

#

kinda sad they didnt fix it but it's way too late now

candid jasper
#

fix what sorry? x

wet ruin
#

there is still like 3-4 months at least

#

there is still hope

faint harness
#

@rancid bobcat yes you can

rancid bobcat
#

pretty sure they're done tuning corruption

candid jasper
#

I find gushing less RNG though

#

60% uptime feels quite manageable

wet ruin
#

cuz there is no RNG on it

candid jasper
#

I can spread gushing across targets in a cleave type situation

wet ruin
#

its good as it is on just one target

rancid bobcat
#

i mean it was possible to get enough by mythic week but

#

that required you to do 2x +18s

candid jasper
#

Sorry, what do you mean? x

rancid bobcat
#

or scrap a heroic

candid jasper
#

ohhh gorak

#

Yeah I probably should save

#

It's rather annoying that I rarely see anyone in our group or the guild's other groups getting corruption drops from m+

faint harness
#

@rancid bobcat yes and you did +18s

#

any semi-serious guild did

rancid bobcat
#

idr how it went but 18s were pretty hard

candid jasper
#

18s felt tough for me at the start of this tier :p

#

We managed a 22 at the end of last tier

rancid bobcat
#

like that just depends on your definition of semi-serious

faint harness
#

dont have to time it

fading walrus
#

is 36% unbuffeed

#

too much for raids

fathom swift
#

You could also just do 2 15s and roll a residuum map from islands

rancid bobcat
#

but you did still need the key

faint harness
#

we have a rank 1 resto druid in the guild

#

he supplied everyone with keys

rancid bobcat
#

meaning you needed to spread around a 23/24 in your guild

#

i mean yeah, but not every guild has a push group

#

i was my guild's

#

im just saying, it's probably wasn't as commonly done as you think

#

also yeah just roll the residuum map

faint harness
#

being able to trade mythic azerite is better for the guild than waiting like 6 weeks

#

for ur bis azerite

fathom swift
#

Esp if you're gonna clear the raid before you'd even be able to save up enough to buy guaranteed

rancid bobcat
#

well i mean if you're in that running, sure

#

you prob did have the keys too

#

6 weeks this tier is like world 150

#

actually lower

#

around world 80

fathom swift
#

Yeah its not super high, but it was the same most tiers this expac where you weren't gonna save until farm

rancid bobcat
#

this tier was actually fine given heroic nzoth/carapace azerite allowed you to trade mythic

#

i mean, i know you world 100 guys gotta do what you gotta do

honest basin
#

I have a basic sim question. The goal is, of course, to get the highest number, right. If you look at stats weight, then you should always aim at more of the thing on top while taking away the thing on the bottom for it, I guess. Does a well-equipped character have around the same value for all stats if possible ? Since everytime you add your best stat its value goes down, and the others go up. Or am I totally wrong ?

royal lantern
#

stat values themself are pretty ussules right now cus they change all the time

#

and all stats are pretty close for assassination right now by default

honest basin
#

Yeah, but I guess my question is more general, I jsut happened to ask here because I do play Assa now

dark niche
#

speaking of stats

#

how comes agility sims so low? is that normal?

faint harness
#

yes

rancid bobcat
#

@honest basin your idea is kind of correct. but usually the values will even out when the stats are uneven

#

and there are some cases where 1 stat just never stops being the top

dark niche
#

i see

honest basin
#

Thanks Kaite, but yes I of course do not try to have even stats in game, I was talking about the sim value per point only. Not trying to get even stats at all !
Yeah I noticed on some classes one stat is always top. I just wanted to know whether the right attitude was always to go for the top stat, even if as assa it changes every piece of gear, or if it was a msitake to try and have even stats.

Quick Question: I am currently on sin, but can't seem to get any dagger drops. I am currently using a 440/380 and sitting at 450ilvl. However, I have a 465 fist weap and 465 one hand axe. Would it be worth from me to switch to outlaw so I can use 465 weaps until I can get some daggers...or will the dps change be lacking? PVE/PVP..Thanks

civic hatch
#

Makes me want to just go full vers gems enchants

#

So annoying how corruption skews your stat property now

rancid bobcat
#

i dont think outlaw does well in pvp at all

#

but you can run dungeons as outlaw and loot spec for daggers

royal lantern
#

ye outlaw in pvp is a bad idea

#

you lack kill preasure

iron mica
#

Yeah, i assumed- just hate to have good weaps collecting dust

#

But it is what it is

keen geode
#

hey guys i have a questioning concerning azerite traits that cause bleeds such as Rezan's fury. Do those bleeds interact with venomous wounds and if so are they worth taking?

royal lantern
#

nope, dont interact

#

mastery/wounds/vendetta etc...is only for ROGUE abilitys

keen geode
#

ah ok thanks. 😄

sonic iris
#

the top logs are using BotE just wondering if thats the preferred essence or are those logs from rng?

faint harness
#

A mix maybe

#

Bote is really good

#

But top logs are often RNG heavy

sonic iris
#

CLF the way to go usually then?

faint harness
#

i would sim it

#

thats the best answer

#

ur gonna get

sour glade
#

BotE pairs really well with vendetta and vop minor, prob have to sim to see what's best for you

sonic iris
#

👍

tender folio
#

Hey lads, one question.. Is it smart to run Exsanguinate if you have x3 SS for myth+ ?

vast forum
#

yes

quasi pewter
#

its ok yes

tender folio
#

Thanks

radiant hawk
#

Hey Guys i see all of your sims with DS, Exsanguinate and SS. But when i sim my char with DS, Exsanguinate and 2x SS its dosn´t work. i have no idea.

quasi pewter
#

what build sims best for you depends on corruptions etc

restive magnet
#

How often should I do 4pt ruptures/envenoms? Should I weave in a poisoned knife to top it off to 5?

#

or just send it with a 4pt rupture/envenom for fluidity

#

Ive been struggling this lately

low girder
#

assuming you're not running deeper strat, no, 4 is fine

patent topaz
#

you shouldnt try to cap with poison knife

#

or with fok like a dude yesterday

#

on single target

glacial steppe
#

Infinite Stars any good for Carapace? Still not sure what to play there

drifting cloud
#

how much higher does it sim than your non-IS stuff

#

I played it, deleted people on boss dmg in last phase

#

but yeah was 1month ago because we extended for nzoth

glacial steppe
#

hmm, first of all i have to talk to my raidlead and ask if im allowed to go above 39c

#

but i think its 4-5k difference in sims

subtle tundra
#

bosses arent really a dps race this tier

#

and going above 39 corruption on carapace can kill you in last phase

#

and i'd save cloak in last phase to put insanity bomb somewhere in narnia

strange python
#

I also have a twitch vod if that helps

warped panther
#

Does anyone know how should I sim on Boss Fights like Drestagath / Ilgy etc. From my experience I switch between Assassin and Outlaw depending on the fight type.

I want to ask, because I have trouble dealing more damage in fights where they are multiple targets. For example on Vex / Carapace and Hivemind I play Outlaw and for everything else I stick to SIN.

I want also to ask which are the best / good corruptions for SIN (I have Honed Mind | IS3 | Twisted Apendage 2 x2 ).

I currently run VOP build, but would like to try Blood of the Enemy build as well.

Should I maybe play with shrouded suffocation trait and Subterfudge?

Any input will be really helpful to me.

#

whats the problem with ilgy? its a ST fight

vast forum
#

vex and ilgynoth are ST bosses

subtle tundra
#

also wouldnt play VOP build for prog

vast forum
#

^ vop major isn't good for progress at all

warped panther
#

Is vex really ST boss? with the amount of aoe adds that spawn?

vast forum
#

adds are not rogue job

warped panther
#

As for Ilgy yeah I can understand that, but still there are some bloods and a lot of movement involved etc.

vast forum
#

ilgy is fine to sim as patchwerk

warped panther
#

I am pretty new player tbh, started playing seriously only since BFA 8.3

glacial steppe
#

@subtle tundra so you think its generally not worth going above 39c on Carapace?

warped panther
#

So any information I would appreciate, because would want to improve generally.

vast forum
#

generally not worth going over 39 on any relevant progress

subtle tundra
#

on vex adds die from passive cleave and add beam

vast forum
#

BotE major DD build is the most consistent progress build that you should be comfortable with

warped panther
#

Well on Vex I played outlaw and had to help out quite a bit with cleaving the adds down

subtle tundra
#

if you dont have fire mages, then yea maybe its better

vast forum
#

i guess it depends on your group, but if tanks bring the adds on top of vex, they should easily die passively

subtle tundra
#

also killing big add is bad

warped panther
#

Also do I understand that correctly?

Stealth (master assassin talent) -> Mutilate -> Rupture -> Mutilate -> Garrote -> Vendetta -> Toxic Blade -> Vanish -> Envenom | Does this sound like a good opener depending the CP you have?

subtle tundra
#

yes if you get 4 cp from first mutilate

warped panther
#

Also do you need to Envenom at 4CP or it's fine to overcap with mutilate if you dont have garrote or toxic blade available for pushing to 5 cp

drifting cloud
#

mutilate at 4 cp is really bad

#

pretty big dps loss

warped panther
#

Yes I don't do that, but still asking for information

#

Because envenom at 4CP feels a bit awkward

subtle tundra
#

it really doesnt

warped panther
#

Then its completely fine to envenom at 4 ?

subtle tundra
#

100%

glacial steppe
#

even tho I dont understand why Honed sims better than Racing Pulse

warped panther
#

But still to prio to Envenom at 5 correct?

#

Also, is Outlaw superior in terms of AOE on fights like Hivemind than Sin?

drifting cloud
#

yes

subtle tundra
#

if you have toxic blade up / youre in range of garrote pandemic you use those before envenom

drifting cloud
#

but your setup might not need you to play outlaw, too much aoe is not always a good thing

subtle tundra
#

sometimes sin is better for hivemind if you lack boss damage/ravager prio

#

on reclear i still hold cds for like a min to deal with second ravager and not wipe cause of it

#

who cares about add dmg when you have fel barrage bois blasting them all

#

this patch made me care so little about my dps

#

its insane

warped panther
#

Okay, anyways

#

Regarding Drestagath fight exclusively

#

Should I maybe go a different build and talents/

Does nothing personal stack?

drifting cloud
#

the dmg stacks

#

not the energy

dapper dock
#

K cool

dapper dock
#

Why does Icy veins say to do garrote on opener then rupture then garrote again when using shrouded suffocation. Won't second garrote undo first?

shut yacht
#

To get a longer empowered garrote and the 3 cp afaik

plain thistle
#

with subterfuge you get 3s to use spells, G > R > G, the last garrote is still in that window, so it gets buffed and you get a longer empowered garrote ticking

dapper dock
#

Ahhh gotcha

restive magnet
#

If I have 5cp and Toxic Blade comes up and all my bleeds are full should I envenom or Toxic Blade then Envenom

#

Prob a dumb question lol

shut yacht
#

TB>Envenom

restive magnet
#

Even though it’s wasting a combo point in essence ?

#

@shut yacht

shut yacht
#

That extra CP isn't as big as a lose as generating more CP and energy for the coming TB window

glacial steppe
#

Wondering if I could tweak my CD usage on Carapace so it fits better in P3. Im currently using my first Vend on the first Eye that spawns next to the P2 entrance. My second Vend goes on a solo Synthesis Growth. My 3rd usually gets rdy 10s before the 2nd Infinite Darkness. I dont think I have it ready for Lust tho

crimson palm
#

Eye should just die without Vendetta

#

My timings were on pull, after second eye, after first gate and with lust

glacial steppe
#

We are only 3 DPS there so dunno

crimson palm
#

That's an issue

glacial steppe
#

Well we are only 5 people at the front (first tentacle)

#

Me, 2 Dhs, Tank, Heal

crimson palm
#

Warlocks should be the ones that are in the small group

drifting cloud
#

what % is it after you break its shield

#

should just die really soon after that

glacial steppe
#

The Eye's %?

drifting cloud
#

yeah

#

if it doesnt die within 5s after you break the membrane you probably dont ahve enough dmg on it

crimson palm
#

It should pop instantly

glacial steppe
#

Uh i cant check since im on phone

#

and replay sucks on phone

crimson palm
#

How many warlocks you're running?

glacial steppe
#

2

crimson palm
#

Because they can just infernal blast the tentacle in the back

#

That's enough

#

Ask your RL for re-assignment

glacial steppe
#

Both of our locks are at the entrance (wrathion)

#

im at the entrance to p2

crimson palm
#

Yeah that's good

#

But you should be 9-10 ppl there

#

Depending on comp

#

We had all our non-cleave ST in it

#

Eye died in 7-8 seconds

glacial steppe
#

Uh we running 3 Hunters, 2 DH, 2 Mages, 2 Locks, 2 Rogues, 1 Warrior, 1 Owl, 1 FDK

#

My group is me, 2 DHs, Monktank and Disc

crimson palm
#

That's exactly the same composition as ours actually 😄

#

Instead our DK is unholy

#

2x Rogue 1 DH 1 Warr 1 DK1 Moonkin 1 MageFirst

#

Between 3h Hunt 1x Mage 1x DH

#

2 Locks and 1 boomie in the back

#

you should never have to use vendetta on gaze

glacial steppe
#

It kinda works, we get somewhat frequent in P3 but I feel like we lack lots of boss damage and as I said Id like to have CDs for Lust

#

Best try was ~8:40, 4%

crimson palm
#

Oh I dunno then

#

Our kill time was around 7:20ish

glacial steppe
#

Hmm

crimson palm
#

Vendetta around 4:30 and 6:30 lust

glacial steppe
#

our P3 begins at 4:30/4:40 I think lol

crimson palm
#

With the timings I shared, vendetta was just coming up for P3

#

Meaning we cleared the rooms in <2 mins

#

And the second vendetta was enough to transition him without waiting for mindbombs

glacial steppe
#

I probably cant use my CDs differently because I highly doubt that they suddenly assign different for P1

#

Idk, I wish my Raidlead was somewhat transparent so Id know what strategy hes following

dapper dock
#

Do you guys use empowered envenoms when u vanish besides opener? or just empower garrote rupture then 2nd garrote in subterfuge window?

#

The icy veins guide really confusing me

strange python
#

What's an empowered envenom?

dapper dock
#

Activate  Vanish on cooldown if using  Subterfuge or with 5 Combo Points in order to facilitate  Master Assassin-empowered  Envenoms.

#

Sorry I said it wrong but same thing

strange python
#

Thats what confused me

#

What you linked there is for MA

#

And your question also talked about Subterfuge

dapper dock
#

It's for both

strange python
#

Ah yeah, it's for either

#

But still your question implies to use both ?

#

I don't get your question

dapper dock
#

No sorry

strange python
#

If you use Subterfuge, you use Option a

#

If master Assassin then Option b

dapper dock
#

What's option a?

strange python
#

With Subterfuge you Vanish -> garrote

dapper dock
#

Garrote rupture garrote again? Everytime I vanish?

strange python
#

With MA you TB -> Vanish -> envenom -> mutilate envenom Spam

#

I mean, yeah you can vanish garrote rupture garrote with Subterfuge

#

If your rupture is low

#

But If not, No need

dapper dock
#

Ok

#

After the opening sequence. Do I use vanish the same when using vendetta/bote?

#

Like everytime cds up?

#

Always fit a vanish into vendetta window to re apply garrote?

crimson palm
#

Without SS traits it doesn't matter

#

Just use it on cd

dapper dock
#

I'm curious cuz using vop minor so vendetta is less.

restive magnet
#

Should I be refreshing my bleeds as close as I can to them running off or as soon as my Weakauras shows them in the pandemic time period

subtle tundra
#

anywhere in that time is good

vestal granite
#

So been playing a lot of ass rogue lately, and sometimes my Shadowstep refuses to cast at all. What gives?

#

Also wonder about Blood of the enemy opener. Is it just Toxic blade > BotE > vanishEnvenom Mut Env?

quasi ledge
#

Quite a few places just say no path available, even first boss room in Siege quite often says cannot use while mounted. Just bugged in/to some areas

#

And yes, TB before BotE

vestal granite
#

well the shadowstep happens both in open world and battlegrounds where it just does not shadowstep even at like 5 yards clear vision. Sometimes It DOES use it and instead jumps to a random different target (I think allies pref but Idk)

#

no indication as to why

#

😦

quasi ledge
#

Using a mouse over?

vestal granite
#

vanilla shadowstep

#

straight from the book

quasi ledge
#

Literally never had it randomly step a different target, only accidently using a mouse over and I've clipped another hit box while aiming it

dapper dock
#

Do i use vendetta with every bote and vanish?

vestal granite
#

^ is it ever better to use bote on cd or keep it for vendetta?

quasi ledge
#

Hold BotE and line up

dapper dock
#

Vendetta has same CD if use vop

#

Minor

#

Right?

quasi ledge
#

If using VoP then they line up anyway and then most of the time just Vanish on CD separate, although that can/might change with SS traits etc

dapper dock
#

If I'm using vanish to re apply for empowered garrote. When do I use vendetta/bote?

vestal granite
#

I am having shadowstep bug RIGHT NOW! trying reload

#

did not help

quasi ledge
#

If you have SS traits you hold Vendetta until Vanish is up and use together (or at least used to), but then VoP minor becomes useless. Don't quote me though, not used SS in raids since Uldir

vestal granite
#

On a quest with Finn. I can step HIM but no enemies)

#

this is so frustrating, sending ticket

#

leaving combat seems to have worked.. but that is not helpful when pvping for example

quasi ledge
#

No idea, never had it just stop working

vestal granite
#

was hoping this was somewhat common and fixed 😦

tropic eagle
#

is TBing with max combo points fine but not optimal right

tacit steppe
#

It’s less than optimal but less of a loss then sitting on it

#

Yea

tropic eagle
#

for every envenom i should also pool enough energy for 2 mutilates right? and never be in a situation where you have to refresh garrote/ruptue with TB up

civic palm
#

You should moreso think about Toxic Blade coming up and making sure DoTs are healthy and you have enough energy for 2+ Envenoms during that window.

tacit steppe
#

^^^

woven pine
#

yeah what mize said

civic palm
#

By no means let Energy cap, but also do your best to plan ahead.

woven pine
#

you can pop off abit if you have a vita proc

tropic eagle
#

i guess i should make a WA for vita

#

vita*

woven pine
#

but just make sure your ruptures minimum 14s to give you time to reapply, try to pandemic it at like 9 for 30% extra duration though

tacit steppe
#

I usually just pool about 60-70% energy before TB envenoms, don’t think about the mutilated too much bc you can get lucky with haste procs or crits from the mut and get into a mut env mut env mut env chain

tropic eagle
#

what currently bugs me atm is sometimes i catch myself in a situation where i used TB but then rupture is coming down to 8s

woven pine
#

yeah ideally you want to reapply rupture there, thats where the pooling comes in though

tacit steppe
#

It’s ok to refresh rupture early if the alternative is it falling off during TB window

woven pine
#

yeah

#

thats why i said like 14s minimum when you have that overlap, gives you time to reapply and then pool a little with some CPs for that envenom spam in TB

#

thats personally though

tropic eagle
#

hey its good info

#

i knew i wasnt getting good value out of it and needed advice

patent topaz
#

you arent going to play around vita

#

only build id say its useful to see the buff is exsang

civic palm
#

If you have the energy regen then you are playing around not capping anyway and it changes nothing, IMO.

woven pine
#

no but if you do get a proc during pooling and you aren't capped on combo points or need to refresh rupture to give you breathing space, do so

tropic eagle
#

is it worth to hold TB if vendetta is coming off CD

#

like ~20sec

civic palm
#

No more than like, 5 seconds.

#

TB CD is too short.

woven pine
#

I'm talking out of personal experience where your cut between, waiting for TB to come off CD, at high energy already, ruptures going to drop like 2s after TB does what do etc.

tropic eagle
#

awesome miz

#

really great info

#

last question, 4 point rupture refresh, should i use throw for the last cp to get a 5 pt

woven pine
#

I've seen people in a mastery build do it on multi-add fights where a target out of range of them needs a poison reapplying to them but other than that, not really, don't waste the energy and lost combo points for 1 combo point in most cases, same with envenom

tropic eagle
#

hmm man that brings up more questions

tacit steppe
#

Only time I’ve seen people do that is with envenom in pvp for system shock

tropic eagle
#

yeah

#

thats where i sorta got the idea from

tacit steppe
#

Yeah they’re just doing it to get the benefit from system shock, nothing else

tropic eagle
#

so 4 point rupture refreshes are fine up until what point?

patent topaz
#

you dont try to cap with pk or fok on st

#

ever

woven pine
#

just wasted energy

tacit steppe
#

There’s not a point, it does the same dps just increases timer

tropic eagle
#

so its only bad to refresh early

woven pine
#

its just better to refresh and try pandemic the next one with 5, you're heavily relying on 'good' seal fates to give you a consistent 5 on rupture

tacit steppe
#

Essentially the benefit is not having to rupture as much with longer timers saving energy, but you’ll waste more resources spending the energy to get the extra cp in that instance

tropic eagle
#

ok that makes sense, but refreshing rupture/garrote early is a damage loss right?

woven pine
#

always try to refresh at 30% of the duration

civic palm
#

Not if you are doing so to NOT lose DMG during a burst window.

woven pine
#

except in cases where you're bursting

tacit steppe
#

In a vacuum, yes, but like we said earlier, it’s not as bad as it falling off during tb

#

So do it if you’re prepping for that

tropic eagle
#

well the reason im asking is cause i saw it on wow analyzer it said i lost like 8 seconds of rupture from refreshing too early

woven pine
#

yeah get a weakaura that helps identify to you the pandemic window

tropic eagle
#

its unrelated to what i was asking earlier about TB etc

#

yeah I do

#

for garrote/rupture

tacit steppe
#

Yeah but it can’t calculate if you did it because you knew that was coming up, it’s a robot

civic palm
#

wowanalyzer isn't in current development IIRC so it's giving you information without telling you why.

#

for assassination^

tropic eagle
#

Ok good to know cause it was telling me i was completely wrong TBing on 5 combo points and i knew i read i think on ravenholdt its fine to

civic palm
#

Ye, wowanalyzer isn't kept up to date IIRC, so while it seems to function it doesn't provide useful feedback.

tropic eagle
#

for single target are you guys stacking tentacles

tacit steppe
#

I just use whatever sims best

#

For pure ST

#

Corruption is a chance to proc on gear, with a random corruption, with a random rank, on random ilvls of gear, so hard to say “stack this”

tropic eagle
#

yeah ive been hoping and preying for a r3 star on weapon or ring but havent seen a single one

#

got a r3 TD on a 415 world quest ring its actually putting in work on hivemind prog

tacit steppe
#

And star is one of the ones that scales with ilvl

#

So if you’re looking at a fight like shadar, just sim top gear

tropic eagle
#

i might even consider using stam flask for more TD damage idk about that lol

tacit steppe
#

Naw not worth

tropic eagle
#

yeah shadhar i stacked triple mindflay it melted him

#

we did shad first instead of hive kind of weird but whatever

tacit steppe
#

That’s what normal guilds do

#

We did hivemind then shadar and was weird lol

#

We spent way more time on hivemind than shadar

tropic eagle
#

what do you use vendetta on vs hive?

tacit steppe
#

We raid like 6 hours a week and shadar was like 3 hours... lol

#

I played outlaw on hivemind so idk the answer to that

tropic eagle
#

yeah thats prob most ideal went thru 5 raden kills with loot spec on outlaw and no weapon

tacit steppe
#

I got one to drop, bonus rolled other

#

But if I was just spitballing I’d just use it on whatever boss you were on as long as darters weren’t coming up

#

Assuming they make you swap to those

tropic eagle
#

yeah ive been doing that and the ravengers not too sure whats best but working on it such an easy fight but you know how it goes with some guilds

crude compass
#

Hey there fellow stalkers. Got my rogue 120 recently and i've got a question. Which of the essences should i get for assasination?

strange python
#

what do you want to do with it?

#

!essence

prisma monolithBOT
warped panther
#

I just saw a mythic nozth assassination pov.

The guy was using envenom at 3CP during Toxic Blade.

#

Is that bad or ok?

Basically what he did was

Toxic Blade - Mutilate - Envenom -Mutilate - Envenom

#

So he can squeeze as much envenoms as he can, but I feel like envenom on 3 cp is bad

#

Is that correct?

arctic walrus
#

nah that's pretty bad

jaunty crystal
#

If you want to fit in 3 envenoms

#

It’s better to have the combo points ready before you TB, and pool above 100 energy or so.

dense axle
#

Pool that shit

jaunty crystal
#

That mutilate immediately after he tbs is a nono for sure

dense axle
#

Energy is important. But I have had openers where I just keep spamming env after a single mut, and I swear it always puts me on top for burst

nimble mesa
#

In an ideal world, one pools energy before TB cooldown is ready. If it gets ready and you have 10 energy (and 4 cp), do you wait 100 energy to TB or do you immediately go TB ? In one case you'd save a few seconds on your next TB, on the other, your tb window will be better, so would need to know what sims suggest since both sound legit 🤔

tropic ocean
#

always on cd

#

if you have 10 energy when tb comes off cd you played bad before and should fix that

last ingot
#

im coming back after 8.2. my question is: What essences should i take for visions?

#

Hello! Would anyone be willing to go over my logs with me so I can understand exactly why I am parsing so bad?

tropic ocean
#

just post them here

viral forge
#

a question. I am new with the rogue to start is the assassination or outlaw better?

molten mesa
#

try both and see what you like better

#

both are p good in raid and m+

strange python
#

outlaw is easier to gear (1 set for all)

molten mesa
#

that's true

viral forge
#

but is a lot rng rolls to make dps?
Doesn't it depend a lot on good dice?

shy dust
#

No it averages out

#

And it’s not as a big deal as you think it is

viral forge
#

okay thx

i will try outlaw

3ss and 3 eb always was the shit right

now they say blightborne infusion

got none og those

tropic ocean
#

3 ss 3 eb still is the shit

#

blightborne is good heart of darkness is good

dusk moat

never seen those

tropic ocean
#

depending on what your group needs

#

what the affixes are

#

and what dungeon you are playing

dusk moat
#

true

tropic ocean
#

lets say kingsrest your pullsize will naturally be 3-5 targets all the time due to nature of the dungeon

#

so bbi/heart of darkness will be far superior to eb

dusk moat
#

but i havent even seen that got like 6 480

tropic ocean
#

because u dont have enough targets to proc eb good

dusk moat
#

ah okey man i se what ure saying

tropic ocean
#

but in stuff like freehold or underrot, motherlode w/e with lots of trash especially in fortified week

#

3x eb will be out of competition

#

guys hey

#

what are the best azerite pieces for assa rogues? especially for single target.

dusk moat
#

so blightborn infusion for like kr?

tropic ocean
#

or temple or siege

or whenever ur group needs more prio less aoe

is it still worth to wear the vita trinket even if it sims lower just because of the group buff?

if its the 475 vita then its definitely worth

any competent simcrafters here? assa multitarget patchwerk sim ( like 4-5t 40 second/1 min) for m+) having right apl? cos its used garrote during bote window, and ct in this window too just to refresh EP. + is using garrote more effective than rapture if target lives for all duration, isnt rapture more effective cos of refreshing the EP and with 3 EB traits FoK instead of just using garottedoing more damage on 4+t?

Hi! Hows assa rogues doing now? Wondering to start one as alt

#

sooooo

#

Anyone else happen to know what their stat weights are? Every time I sim my rogue, I get Crit and Vers being top, then Mastery, then Haste (V-6.58; C-6.48; M-5.81; H-5.63). But when I look at the logs of top rogues, it seems like many of them are stacking Haste, making me rethink my build. Am I missing something?

raven locust
#

Unless you have % corruptions your stat weights are going to be almost equal to the point where gemming will tip another stat to being higher

hazy quartz
#

Would it be worth it to seek out a particular corruption % stat?

lean marten
#

use top gear to determine gear, stat weights are really only good for what food to use

raven locust
#

You cant really seek out any corruptions lol, if you get %haste its the best of the stat corruptions

lean marten
#

haste corruptions are more consistent dmg (not proc based) and haste ramps bleed/poison dmg and gives energy regen so its aight. haste stacking is best with the 3xSS exsang builds tho

hazy quartz
#

That makes a bit more sense. As far as the 3xSS builds go, though, they haven't seemed very appealing to me because on single target fights, aren't you just overwriting

Yo guys, another questions regarding azerite traits.

I have 2 Mutilate + Blightborne + Winds (the one that gives Crit and increases duration depending on howx many crits you do) + Nothing Personal + Heart of Darkness and on patchwork it sims higher than any other combo.

#

Are they good traits?

faint harness

those traits are very good yes

ye theyre good but sim urself like with everything else

sim ur azerites with MA and Subt to find the top

sims highest on ma like that

just replace MA with subt

assa has alot of good majors, while lucid is probably in the top5 nobody really runs it

#

memory is a must-have minor

rancid bobcat
#

most of the value of lucid major is from the minor effect being packaged with it

the herodamage graphs only simulate the essences in a vacuum. while in reality, you will be adding 1 of those major+minor bars and 3 of the minor only bars

you take assassination for st dmg, not for aoe in raiding

cuz you'll sacrifice a lot less st

So pretty much Haste>Mastery>Vers?

eh, just sim

all stats are really close at this point

Okay thanks guys

So i'm going to try swapping over to BotD from Lucid for a major as it's simming 2.1k higher. Is there a guide anywhere on how to use it in my opener rotation? I didn't see anything about it in the pins.

why did you use lucid major anyway ionwut

I mean, maybe I just got lucky, but I actually managed mostly orange parses so far with lucid

but I think i'll go Blood as a major now

fleet whale
#

it's not like ripple in space or unbound force, you can do good damage with it

#

BoTE and CLF just steroid up your vendetta, and a big chunk of assassin's damage come from vendetta windows

while VOP has very high damage potential, and Breath can deal insane damage

@vast forum Afaik at most rated BG teams run one rogue if not none? my experience of rogue is almost fully pve, so idk if they have a specific role that's valuable?

if they've got a good niche to contribute then tell me so I can do it

guys, do you use your finishers with 4 combo points aswell or only with 5? (both pvp and pve)
in other words: its ok to spend only 4 cp?

#

to prevent overcap cp

royal lantern
#

4 or 5

#

if you are at 4cp->finisher

tropic sand
#

all finishers?

white wyvern
#

Yes.

#

PvP you can make the argument to PK at 4 CP in order to apply System Shock with Envenom. However, you would do this for the slow System Shock applies not for the damage.

tame tangle
#

If you’re at 4 cp with tb coming up right then you should tb before envenom ya

white wyvern
#

If you won't cap energy the answer is yes wait for TB. If you will cap energy then you don't wait.

Hi I'm struggling to choose between corruption for a total of 50 I could go IS or TA2+RP1. IS is simming higher but I heard it was kind of a sim trap?

but for exemple on Nzoth, should I go TA+RP?

@scarlet sequoia ? it's very clear why rogues suffer more than some other melee in uncoordinated group pvp than other melee, no need for the dumb ass emote.

#

adds nothing to the discussion

vast forum
#

rogues are more efficient against uncoordinated groups than against coordinated ones tho

#

also, assa is 1 of the best sustained aoe specs for stuff like silvershard mines

wet ruin
#

is the breath major on like 7-8 players or so used at the same time a thing in rbgs

#

I can imagine it will be enough to one shot someone

#

or maybe from 50% or something

static glacier
#

I'd argue that the value of smokebomb / rogue control is reduced if there's no one going in on it, more than the idea that people won't peel.

#

my experience today playing Random compared to rated is that you get peeled less in rated due to your team ccing on your engage / smokebomb while in random you get no follow up and no peel from your team ccing for you when you go hard.

#

this is all anecdotal though

#

and I agree, sin aoe can be solid IF there isn't a holy paladin.

From the Gnomish Battle Chicken? It's an engineering trinket that has a use effect of spawning a battle chicken that will fight along with you and has a chance to cast Battle Squawk on the whole raid which increases attack speed by 5% for 4 minutes.

prisma monolithBOT

The way to use coral in M+ is using it on your priority target,
and then whenever that target dies, reapply it to your next target.
Whenever your target dies it gives you the crit it would give from using it,
so consuming the stacks for crit mid pack is generally suboptimal.

Am I supposed to spam garrotte (assuming its single target)

You can fill three GCD's after hitting vanish. Meaning the optimal would be garrote x garrote, where x depends on combopoints.

weak basalt
#

Thank you I wasnt sure wether its work using it more then once till I fill combo points ^^

amber talon
#

How do you line up vanish and vendetta when using vision of perfection? For the first one it’s easy, but then vendetta will come off CD before vanish does. I’m guessing use of vendetta on CD but then do you delay the vanish to align it with the 3rd vendetta? Even if you’re running MA as a talent ?

#

Or do you slightly delay vendetta so that you’re vanish will come off CD for you to use it in the last remaining seconds of the vendetta buff ?

no

you use both on cd
