theres a maut helm thats decent

vivid topaz
#

i'll jsut tell him shoulders

lean marten
#

so prolly not helm

vivid topaz
#

he mainly will be doing m+ so want those traits (i guess ehcoing blades and shrouded suff)

hollow talon
#

man i can't even log in

#

stuck on loading screen

lean marten
#

best m+ azerite is all from residuum luck so start with shoulders and pray

#

lol

vivid topaz
#

got it

#

thank you!

#

world server is down

hollow talon
#

ah..

#

figures..

#

happening a lot lately

#

😦

white peak
#

I have a kind of a silly question regarding sin rogue AoE rotation in M+ (e.g. on fortified affix) when using multiple Echoing Blades azerite traits. You build combo points quite quickly of course (often 4-5 in a single FoK cast).

#

So, is your DPS from getting lots of finishers (FoK -> Envenom -> Fok -> Envenom, etc.) OR are you just straight spamming FoK -> FoK -> FoK (when using multiple Echoing Blades traits) and ignoring the combo points bc the damage you are dealing is primarily from FoK + Echoing Blades (not from using finishers)?

vivid topaz
#

is tentacle lace terrible

white wyvern
#

@white peak Depends on target count.
IIRC you ignore finishes are 6,8,10 targets with 3,2,1 EB respectively.

#

In that case you just keep up bleeds enough to FoK spam.

vivid topaz
#

sorry for spurg questions

#

i'm trying to help my friend

#

wanna mainly get him up for M+

#

do the traits i selected here seem ok for that purpose? or am i doing something glaringly bad

#

endless hunger seems to sim well for MT?

#

but double dose also is supposed to be good

white wyvern
#

DD is for the most part bad in M+.

vivid topaz
#

so swap for EH?

white wyvern
#

IDK that's also quite shit.

vital crown
#

do you guys think its worth using two 2 shroud suffocation and 2 echoing blades with the engineering head or should i aim for 3?

#

azerite traits that is

white wyvern
#

Sure that's fine. You can still try to get another SS/EB though.

vital crown
#

yeah bit unlucky on that :p also which aoe trait out of the engineering ones is best?

white wyvern
#

Sim it.

vivid topaz
#

i know it's like a weird darkshore trait but it's all he's got vs double dose

#

and just wnana try and maximize his m+ dam

white wyvern
#

Sim it.

vivid topaz
#

i did but i know M+ sims aren't as good so figured i'd ask for some input from people who play the spec

#

and i don't play rogue so it's harder for me to know what's good situationally or what is a sim trap

white wyvern
#

Dungeon Slice isn't good.
Just sim patchwerk 4 targets, 6 targets, 8 targets, 10 targets at 40s with no lust separately and digest.

vivid topaz
#

ok

thorny dew
#

Not sure if this goes here, but raidbots sim is saying that rank 4 crucible > rank 3 Blood of the enemy. I should ignore that right lol?

#

for Major

vital crown
#

but rank 4 doesnt increase the dmg

#

it just looks flashier

thorny dew
#

Yeah im just confused why its saying crucible of flame, from everything I've read it says use Blood of the enemy for Major slot

white wyvern
#

Link the sim.

jolly comet
#

The dream is real guys. Helm/Shoulder/Chest 480 EB/SS

white peak
#

@white wyvern thanks bud

lean marten
#

ur minors are chavez so its giving u weird combos

#

for ur current ilvl/traits/essences crucible is better

#

that will change once u get closer to BiS

thorny dew
#

thanks!

quasi scroll
#

Does Infinite Stars benefit from haste?

rigid mango
#

Yes

quasi scroll
#

mmm nice

#

thank you

strange python
#

guys... i really feel like i lose energy all the time and i cant regen fast enough , what would be the reason (im on alt, im not a realy aas rogue)

lean marten
#

keep bleeds on

#

3+ targets bled is unlimited energy

strange python
#

but on single target ?

rigid mango
#

Well, 5 bleeds = infinite energy

strange python
#

and when there are 3-4 targets, i feel like its a living hell....

rigid mango
#

Beacuse the spec gets a lot harder, yeah.

shut thistle
#

Hello everyone

strange python
#

i play MM hunter , so everything is harder and all that haha , so i picked also this bad spec , dont know why

#

so is there anything that i should do to get my energy back , or to be more efficient on single target ?

rigid mango
#

Assa is simple as hell on single target, there's no real thinking about it as of now

#

There used to be minmaxing with energy and buffs, which is still present just a lot less impactful than people generally think.

#

However as soon as multiple targets are introduced and you have to play the minmax game of garrote/rupture uptime to gain more energy the spec becomes a lot harder.

strange python
#

i mean u have to put garrote on all targets(or as manny as u can) and in the same time put the rupture on each ?

rigid mango
#

Garrote doesn't reward you with energy when it still has uptime and the target dies, rupture does.

#

Also depends a bit on upcoming windows

shut thistle
#

I am new to assasination rogue and read a lot guides from website but I have still some problems with BiS gear

rigid mango
#

Can you have an extended window of high energy inside Vend or TB, etc

shut thistle
#

I want to focused on single target for raids

rigid mango
#

Sim yourself

#

That's all you need.

shut thistle
#

what trinkets and rings should I get?

rigid mango
#

Coral + vita and mechagon ones

#

With backstab + haste

#

But corruption is a thing so shrug

shut thistle
#

By mechagon ones you mean Overclocking Bit Band and Logic Loop of Division right?

upper elm
#

what is the deal of playing subtrefurge over master assasin without shrouded suffocation?

rigid mango
#

If that's what they're called yeah

#

Subterfuge scales better

#

MA is a flat % of the hardest DR'ing stat there is

#

Esp when running coral and bote MA is half wasted if not fully.

strange python
#

im trying to find an opener for - Condensed major(3min cd), Vendetta (2min cd), Galecaller's Boon trinket (2 min cd - 10sec duration) , toxic blade , vanish (vanish feels strange, how do i get out of it ? just atack the target with auto atack ? ) , and how do i combine all this ? binding them in macro ? or just some of them like trinket and vendeta cause same cd ?

#

@rigid mango

rigid mango
#

Are you using MA or subterfuge?

upper elm
#

the better garrote from subtrefurge works only while subtrefurge is active (for 3 sec after leaving stealth) or does it works for garrotes outside stealth too?

strange python
#

MA , i dont like subterfuge , because i dont like to have that invs spell on after i get out of inv

lean marten
#

look at the order in a Quick Sim is the easiest

rigid mango
#

Then you'd just do the same as pins

#

Use GCB when you vendetta or something there

#

Doesn't matter too much

#

Then you just use it on CD once, and again with your vendetta

#

Alternate vendetta > on cd > vendetta etc

#

And CLF you just use blanket but can also delay a cast to the next vendetta for a dps increase if you know that the fight wont last to the one after this.

#

Yes @upper elm only in stealth/subterfuge.

strange python
#

ok , thanks for the infos , ill see what i can do

west cove
#

can rogs no longer shadowstep to racing flag?

rigid mango
#

Nope.

west cove
#

sad

stray folio
#

Why is TA so good for rogues ? does it proc from bleeds/poisons ?

rigid mango
#

It's not

#

It's just as good as for everyone else, just more easily obtainable

dapper dock
#

Should I always run 1 SS trait and 1 EB trait for m+?

strange python
#

it looks like Vendetta, trinket and vanish comes good on 1 macro key , but not the toxic blade

#

so before i start with Envenom, i think i could go Condensed > Toxic Blade > Vendett+trinket+vanish > Envenom

gilded otter
#

Shrouded Suffocation vs Filthy Transfusion ?

lean marten
#

yes

frigid musk
#

which azerite trait do i need for single target ?

ripe gulch
#

how good is masterful on m+

#

with the shrouded build

errant swallow
#

which azerite trait do i need for single target ?
@frigid musk DD x 3

#

What do you guys think about going DD x 3 on tyrannical weeks? I know it depends on group comp a lot but I don't have a solid group, I pug all the time.

strange python
#

any good WA for ass rogue ?

royal lantern
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
lean marten
#

DD on aoe is like EB on ST. just does nothing for the other becuase u dont cast FoK in ST and you don't cast mut in AoE

#

DD won't help at all on aoe but yes it will kill tyran bosses

errant swallow
#

Exactly

#

I built 3x EB for Fortified weeks

#

Sometimes (most times) tanks won't let you drop combat

#

My point being, trash will be pretty easy this week. So might just plan for bosses

lean marten
#

u could swap 1 or 2 EB around but overall won't make a huge diff imo

dapper dock
#

U could do a balanced build between the two. U speaking 1 extreme to the next

errant swallow
#

Solid point

#

Thank you guys so much

#

Ill try for 1eb 2dd 1ss and 2x vendetta

quasi pewter
#

dont

#

use

#

dd for m+

rigid mango
#

DD is quite literally one of the worst traits possible

lean marten
#

yes but still better than EB on ST lol

rigid mango
#

Wat

quasi pewter
#

i thought we were talking about m+

#

or why would eb even be in the discussion

royal lantern
#

if you want more st in m+you take stat traiuts like blightborn or HoD

rigid mango
#

How is that even relevant KEKW

dapper dock
#

U guys now debating it now the guy who needed the help is gone lol

lean marten
#

lmao

quasi pewter
#

@errant swallow

worldly sandal
#

How is glimpse of clarity for sin?

quasi pewter
#

very bad

distant lava
#

complete

#

shit

#

sry for u mate

rigid mango
#

Happy tuesday

errant swallow
#

Have a great day everyone

worldly sandal
#

I guess thats what I get for getting a socketed expedient piece last week

#

At least i got my first 480 azzy gear

errant swallow
#

Yes, sorry I was taking M+ on tyrannical weeks

rigid mango
#

Still would never use DD

#

Literally

#

Never

quasi pewter
#

yea as we said, dont use dd in m+ under any circumstance

#

ss>eb/HoD>ttk

#

dont use anything else if you can avoid it

#

bbi is also good if you have gorak tuls

rigid mango
#

^

dapper dock
#

How much will single target dps take a hit if 3 eb 3 ss?

quasi pewter
#

alot compared to for example 3hod

#

propably like 8-10k dps

dapper dock
#

Gotcha

quasi pewter
#

you can sim it too if you want a more accurate answer

dapper dock
#

Ya true. But running 3 eb and 3 ss should result in a higher total dps for dungeon even on tyrannical?

quasi pewter
#

3eb is almost always gonna be more overall dps

crimson palm
#

do mecha rings proc on nzoth?

quasi pewter
#

only workshop/boralus/kr ur propably gonna see higher overall without eb

lean marten
#

when u hit nzoth from behind yeah

#

lol

scarlet hinge
#

How much haste is not enough for m+ ?

quasi pewter
#

i usually have around 85% uptime on the behind ring

#

on nzoth*

#

and thats with running around, gating etc

#

so its pretty much always up

rigid mango
#

You pretty much run 0 haste in m+

#

As little as you can anyways.

scarlet hinge
#

Sweet, ty,

vagrant warren
#

should i aim for 3 times echoing blades for m+?

tropic ocean
#

yes

vagrant warren
#

and what other trait?

dapper dock
#

Scroll up this was just discussed

vagrant warren
#

3 ss?

dapper dock
#

Keep scrolling lol and read. Put some effort into it

vagrant warren
#

and ss means what?

#

shrouded suffocation?

lost slate
#

if youre talking traits, yea

quasi scroll
#

for assassin in 2v2 do you use basically same build as M+?

rigid mango
#

I'd recommend reading the pins in #pvp

quasi scroll
#

ah nice

white wyvern
#

Do not use a M+ build. kek

next solar
#

ugh, a dh in my guild has 5 gushing wounds..

frigid briar
#

Did coral tooltip get changed today for US after reset. Seen a pic flying around. Not sure if fake

rigid mango
#

People seem to have same old same old.

strange python
#

i did some mistakes with pressing envenom with 3cp , i know i ahve to be 4+ , but other than that , look at that lack of energy...

rigid mango
#

I'm gonna be entirely honest and say I cba watching a video but if you can get me a log I'll be more than happy to look through it

#

They're a lot more comprehensive

strange python
#

its like 2-3 min ... you can watch half, but i can do a log on a dumm maybe

#

ok , wait a sec , i will log a dummy

mystic fractal
#

for starters, keep your dots up?

honest vessel
#

dont mut on 5

#

log would be way better tho

white wyvern
#

Start stealthed?? 🤔

honest vessel
#

o no

white wyvern
#

I saw first global and said "I'm done".

strange python
#

why the fuck are you dancing in front of a dummy

frigid briar
#

You could also have more than 10 energy before riding that dry toxic blade

strange python
fading stag
#

should I sim 3 or 4 patchwerk bosses for aoe? and how long?

rigid mango
#

You should not macro vanish to vendetta

honest vessel
#

tb before vanish

rigid mango
#

You want vanish after TB

#

You mut'd above 3 CP

#

You have random holes where you don't use TB it seems

strange python
#

yes i will do mutilate at 4-5 cp , i mistakes sometimes , but i dont think that the problem with lack of energy

rigid mango
#

And yeah your bleed uptime is horrendous

strange python
#

ok so use TB on cd

honest vessel
#

that makes a huge difference on lack of energy

#

you're spending 50 energy

#

for nothing

frigid briar
#

Your lack of energy is lack of resource managment

#

Think of it as a defined amount of energy per fight

rigid mango
#

What even is resource management

#

Pooling doesn't matter

strange python
#

and about the opener .. i did a macro to press it for Vendetta+Trinket+vanish , because TB cant be impelemented there ...

rigid mango
#

Caring about buffs doesn't matter

strange python
#

so i chose to TB and press the macro

frigid briar
#

Combo points is a resource

patent topaz
#

I wouldnt advise macroing abilities together

frigid briar
#

And hes fucking them badly

#

And entering toxic blade with 10 energy is a dps loss

strange python
#

so dont use TB on cd , wait for energy to rise ?

rigid mango
#

It's nearly irrelevant tho FeelsShrugMan

honest vessel
#

use it on cd

#

dont use things before it

#

so that you have energy when it comes up

frigid briar
#

Just plan to have enough energy when it comes off so you dont need to wait

honest vessel
#

^

frigid briar
#

And its not irrelevant

rigid mango
#

nearly

#

and yes, the dps loss is minor.

frigid briar
#

Extra abilities used during toxic blade is quite big

rigid mango
#

People think buff managment matters

#

Or TB minmaxing matters

#

but it really is very minor 🙂

strange python
#

so can i keep using the Vend+trink+vanish > TB > Mut ?

rigid mango
#

No use vanish after TB

honest vessel
#

if you have to, macro vend and trinket

#

then tb then vanish

#

macros more like wackros

#

amirite

frigid briar
#

Wheres the proof that its minor? Because more abilities used during burst is more dps.

#

Shit energy and good energy is the difference in extra envenoms

shy dust
#

Pooling isn’t a big deal

#

Nor is saving energy for tb

rigid mango
#

It is, but in this day and age everyone has so much free energy from procs etc, such as lucid

shy dust
#

Yes it is more dps but not a significant amount

honest vessel
#

any increase is a big deal

rigid mango
#

It really isn't

frigid briar
#

I mean

#

It is

rigid mango
#

It is?

#

Good to know

#

Maybe for you, maybe not for everyone, not for the vast majority

frigid briar
#

Well lets say everyone optimizes in a raid and deals 0.1% dps more

#

Thats alot when your on progress on a hard boss

rigid mango
#

Yep, but does it matter a lot for you?

#

And RNG will make up that diff in swings?

shy dust
#

Is it damage that you’re failing at?

rigid mango
#

So I don't personally care about it enough

frigid briar
#

Well we wiped Nzoth on 3% like 10 times before we killed it

shy dust
#

With all this gear at this point damage isn’t the issue

frigid briar
#

That eas 6 weeks ago

honest vessel
#

playing as good as you can makes up for other people not

#

kills the boss faster sometimes

#

sometimes is enough for me

rigid mango
#

But saying that pooling matters

#

Is incorrect

#

And when you kill a boss that I didn't because you pooled and I didn't care

#

DM me.

shy dust
#

You know if it was a significant dps increase to pool energy people would be telling you to do so

honest vessel
#

some do

frigid briar
#

Lol

shy dust
#

Instead of saying it isn’t a big deal because it isn’t a major contribution to your damage

frigid briar
#

If you choose to not pool thats fine but its a dps loss

honest vessel
#

seems like it depends who's on that day to tell you

rigid mango
#

but such a tiny one that my RNG could make it up for me

#

I never said it wasn't a dps increase

#

Just a minor one.

#

That people, like you, overvalue a lot

frigid briar
#

What?

rigid mango
#

When infact the diff between me playing properly and brain afk is minor

frigid briar
#

Sorry if I've offended you or your playstyle. Wasnt my intentions. He asked a question on how to improve and I helped him

rigid mango
#

I havn't been offended

plain moon
#

Saying rng could make up for it is irrelevant. You could get the good rng pull on top of pooling.

frigid briar
#

Aye cool

#

Aight*

rigid mango
#

I just don't like the fact that people overvalue stuff that infact is nearly irrelevant

frigid briar
#

Do you have proof on this?

#

Like a sim with changed APL versus current?

plain moon
#

I disagree that it’s “nearly irrelevant”

rigid mango
#

The current APL doesn't pool

#

Atleast very little

honest vessel
#

there arent that many big things to focus on for dmg increases, so theres plenty brainpower around to focus on smaller increases

#

and it makes it more fun

rigid mango
#

And it even gets stuff like

honest vessel
#

who cares if its small

rigid mango
#

1 Env TB's

#

And that is "playing it correctly"

plain moon
#

But it’s not.

rigid mango
#

??

#

Make a better APL then.

plain moon
#

If I could I would

rigid mango
#

Same.

#

So I use what I have

#

I can't say it's wrong

#

I've had convos with koji multiple times where my ideas that have seemed logical to me, havn't been dps increases

#

Which I suppose was being naive by me

plain moon
#

Idk where you’re ideas were but saying the apl does it so it must be right is not the way to look at things at all

rigid mango
#

My way of thinking is the APL is really well maintained

#

And this isn't the first time someone brings this topic up

#

So if it was so simple to just change and make it better, why has it not been done yet?

plain moon
#

My guess is that it isn’t simple just to change

rigid mango
#

Because I'll tell you this, the rogue apl is one of the most refined of all specs

#

Classes*

#

Rather

plain moon
#

I have no idea how to write apls or really any knowledge in it

rigid mango
#

So what makes your way of thinking better than mine?

#

I trust that the APL is good because I see the work being put into it, you don't trust it and that's more correct?

shy dust
#

No one is denying its a dps increase to pool.

#

It’s just not a significant gain

rigid mango
#

I'm just saying that pooling is very minor. That's all I said.

#

And that it's largly irrelevant to your dps in a fight because of so many other factors.

distant lava
#

it's a way more significant gain to loot 6 expedients like a gaymer or to proc 5 tentacle a minute

frigid briar
#

Thats true

plain moon
#

Saying things like “not a significant gain” “largely irrelevant” does nothing

rigid mango
#

???

harsh sphinx
rigid mango
#

It explains how it's, largly irrelevant and not a significant gain?

plain moon
#

I disagree with the fact that it’s largely irrelevant.

rigid mango
#

Because?

plain moon
#

But the point is what’s relevant and what’s not is on a scale that’s different for ever player on what the goals are

rigid mango
#

But why do you disagree? Because the minor dps gain matters or that the APL is wrong? Or both?

#

If you're minmaxing and playing for a top 10 guild trying to squeeze literally all bit of dps out of your spec for the sake of first week(s) progression, I understand.

white wyvern
#

Yall are literally arguing semantics.

plain moon
#

Both

rigid mango
#

But for a vast majority of people, it's largly irrelevant.

#

And last time I checked I'm not helping a top10 raider learning sin.

#

Feel free to make an APL that shows a gain in playing the way you want and dm me with it when you feel like it's refined to your standards.

#

And when you kill a boss because you pooled and I didn't, feel free to sling that my way again.

frigid briar
#

Lets say you have 5 minor mistakes while playing. Fix them and gain 5 minor dps gains. Thats decent dps to gain on progression.

#

What exactly is a major dps gain?

rigid mango
#

I'm not talking about several mistakes?

#

I'm talking about the diff between pooling and not.

frigid briar
#

Yeah but it started with that dude asking how to get better right

rigid mango
#

Anyways, I've already said what I felt, and so did you two I hope.

frigid briar
#

Whos making alot of mistakes

rigid mango
#

This wont get anywhere at all.

faint harness
#

Stab big things, get loot

#

Play game, win dps

#

How hard is it geez

vast forum
#

@rigid mango tbh, apl can only play within certain rules, and all the small mistakes it makes across thousands of iterations iron out to very minor dps losses

#

we won't have perfect sims until we have AI playing the game

rigid mango
#

I know.

fading stag
#

can someone tell me how to sim for m+? I thought it was like 3 or 4 patchwerk bosses and 1 minute

fathom swift
#

On the topic of pooling, if you look at that guys log theres so many things to improve that would help a lot more than worrying about pooling at all

#

Like just looking at time/effort vs performance gain

turbid galleon
#

Anyone have a fix to a Razor Coral weak aura? After the patch my WA is no longer showing coral stacks and instead showing as if there are no stacks on the target.

white wyvern
#

@fading stag emulate M+ environment using multiple patchwerk sims and digest from there.

fleet whale
#

Having op corruptions on gear and good rng>proper pooling, it's just how it is right now

strange python
#

thanks for the answers, and about that Vendett+ trinket + vanish > TB , u said TB has to be before vanish

fleet whale
#

yes

strange python
#

so can i do the TB before that vendeta+trinket+vanish ?

#

i really feel like i want to keep that vendeta and vanish in same button cause both have 2min cd

fathom swift
#

You dont want to macro vendetta and vanish

fleet whale
#

ideally you should tb into 5 cps, and then vanish

strange python
#

fk...

fleet whale
#

and i like to use Vendetta before TB cause of globals

fathom swift
#

Its not that hard to find 2 buttons to not have to macro them

strange python
#

i mean till now i was just pressing condensed and after vendeta and after trinket and after toxic blade and after vanish\

#

and it takes to damn long

fleet whale
#

if you use vendetta after a TB cast, it's a waste global for TB

strange python
#

ok , so cant use TB anywere before vendeta or after vanish

fathom swift
#

Its also bad if you have np traits

strange python
#

so cant get an easier way

patent topaz
#

idk what the debate is here, just use the opener in the guide

fathom swift
#

Yeah its really simple

strange python
fathom swift
#

You're running ss? Without subterfuge?

patent topaz
strange python
#

i just find it strange to use that subterfuge... because i cant use other spell for 3 sec after vanish , right ?

turbid galleon
#

You can

strange python
#

i already looked into that , but ofc i didnt read every single word

turbid galleon
#

With subterfuge, you have access to stealth abilities for 3 seconds. But all you need to worry about is that garrote is empowered when applied during that time

patent topaz
#

subterfuge usage and opener are pretty straightforward

strange python
#

its totally different the subterfuge opener from what i see , different use of vanish also

#

nah , i aint gonna use subterfuge, too different

fathom swift
#

Shrouded suffocation has basically no value then

grim tangle
#

very confused by that decision

cobalt pelican
#

it takes like half a minute to learn and maybe 2 pulls if you're slow

grim tangle
#

1k dps increase and gain even more value with multiple targets and is very easy to play

scarlet cave
#

Yo guys, is it just me or does Nzoth get more dmg from us Assa? 😄

fathom swift
#

What do you mean?

strange python
#

garr>mut>rupt>vend>mut>tb>mut>env>mut>envm>vanish (and what do i do with this 3 seconds of no spells , just garrot ?

turbid galleon
#

There is no 3 seconds of no spells

strange python
#

so how do i get out of that 3 secc

scarlet cave
#

i dont know what it is, but i suddenly sky rocket in dmg vs him

patent topaz
#

3 seconds pass

fathom swift
#

Psychus?

patent topaz
#

1 2 3

scarlet cave
#

like 40k normaly and 60-70k vs him

turbid galleon
#

you change your bars so you can still use your other abilities while in stealth

patent topaz
#

and vanish usage

scarlet sequoia
#

@scarlet cave its because he usually takes 99% less damage

strange python
#

i tought that opener is for " Master Assassin talented "

patent topaz
#

the point is you should be using subterfuge with one ss trait

white wyvern
#

@strange python Subterfuge allows you to use stealth abilities for 3 seconds after leaving stealth. You can still use non-stealth abilities during this too.

strange python
#

yes i got that , so i can put the spells on the stealth bar , didnt know that

undone pasture
#

how r u double garroting with master assassin

strange python
#

all is so different, MA different opener , SS or no SS different opener , exsanguinate different opener

#

i mean wtf...

turbid galleon
#

That's usually what happens with different talents

strange python
#

.... ok thanks for infos..

fathom swift
#

Itd be kinda boring if you hit the same buttons no matter what talents

patent topaz
#

just practice and get it into your muscle memory, takes a while to get used to when you swap talents

strange python
#

man its fkd up , i will be honest , changing the entire rotation for MA or Sub , or for toxic blade or exang , or for SS or no SS

#

i mean there are 6 different rotation or more

patent topaz
#

its not a different rotation

strange python
#

its just 1 spec

eager barn
#

opener, not rotation.

strange python
#

i mean opener

patent topaz
#

just a sequence of a couple of spells at the start

fathom swift
#

Its just the first like 10s

strange python
#

but 6-7 different openers , what is that

eager barn
#

talents should change playstyle

fathom swift
#

90% of your rotation is the same keeping bleeds up and spamming mutilate envenom

cobalt pelican
#

there's 3 openers

#

ma, shrouded subterfuge and non shrouded subterfuge

strange python
#

and i see 5 openers

cobalt pelican
#

i just listed all 3 of the relevant openers, the other parts of them are just where your tb/exsang fit in

#

if you're doing low level content like lfr or normal just press whatever you want

patent topaz
#

I can guarantee you will not play exsang

strange python
#

nah , im not doing high lvl content on my rogue (not sure if i will do in the future , just +10 or around that maybe more if i get more used with it , i do high lvl content with my hunter pvp,pve (raid/m+)

eager barn
#

even heroic and m+15's you can just push whatever

rancid bobcat
#

so do whatever you want then

eager barn
#

as long as you follow basic principles

strange python
#

i just want to do it right , thats all , and im overwhelmed by so many openers and losing that energy

#

anyway i got you guys

#

so thanks for every info that u gave

shut thistle
#

Stealth > Mutilate (generates 4 combo points) > Rupture > Mutilate > Garrote > Vendetta > Toxic Blade > Vanish > Envenom and so on

#

does this rotaion is good for single taget?

#

without shrouded suffocation

little sandal
#

i dont have any shrouded suffocation just double dose and heart of darkness but ssubterfuge is simming more then master assassin and when i tried it the opener its too weird

shy dust
#

It does more damage tho.

#

So use it

patent topaz
#

you garrote once, how is that weird?

cobalt pelican
#

it's like the.. normal rogue opener..

eager barn
#

opening with garrote instead of mut is wierd?

cobalt pelican
#

we even used that opener with ma up until like what

#

mid tep?

little sandal
#

its that it only generates 1 combo point

#

so garrote muti rup garrote and then normal rotation vanish and reset garrot

patent topaz
#

you dont garrote again in the opener, you just overwrite your empower

#

doing that

eager barn
#

vanish-> garr is with < 5.4 sec left on garr

shy dust
#

Wait what

#

Why would you go garrote mut rupture garrote

little sandal
#

doesnt empower garrote stack

#

or is it only with shrouded

shy dust
#

You’re overwriting you’re empowered garrote since the last one isn’t in subterfuge

eager barn
#

it doesn't stack

little sandal
#

ok got it i though u could stack em i only sim 93k i need to get better at this game

eager barn
#

i only sim 78k what's your point

#

that's irrelevent

little sandal
#

i meant it as i need to get better nothing much

patent topaz
#

93k? not many people sim >90

#

as a rogue

lean marten
#

IS stacker alert

little sandal
#

whats the different with shrouded suffocation that you use 2 garrote in opener

#

and with no shoruded u only use 1 shrouded

cobalt pelican
#

it does more damage and gives more combo points

little sandal
#

ok got it then got to get used to this new rotation then ty guys going to go hit the dummy now

modern heart
#

is there a reason why people are running internal bleeding during raids?

fleet whale
#

the whole row is pure utility so it really doesn't matter that much what you take in that row

modern heart
#

ye was noticing it on logs, maybe there was a bug so wanted to double check

#

never know these days, small indie company

fleet whale
#

It is used a lot in pvp so maybe they just didn't bother to switch

#

maybe you could cheese Ilygnoth if you KS a blob or even an MC'ed ally

#

and get more energy

scarlet sequoia
#

ye kidney for a 6 second bleed instead of rupture

#

smart gaming

#

u just play it if u wanna pad a little with kidney

#

if u have to stun blobs on ilgynoth anywyas

distant lava
#

it's the only one that can give you something in raids imo

#

might aswell run something that might be useful if you press kidney

fleet whale
#

but in the end the row really doesn't matter that much, just choose what you like

#

and iron wire can be ok on Vex

vast forum
#

@distant lava i mean, if kidney works on a target, prey is a bigger group dps gain than internal bleeding

#

assuming people are targeting the stunned thing

fleet whale
#

they probably want to pad their own logs

eager barn
#

I run prey because groupdps is larger than my dps, but i'm not sure how i would even measure the effectiveness of it, if it even really matters at all.

vast forum
#

usually if something is being dpsed by multiple people, 10% of total dmg for 6 sec is greater than IB

#

people ran prey on azshara for hulks for a reason

eager barn
#

yes in theory obviously, i more meant whether or not my raid is even taking advantage

#

and whether or not it's my full stun or if it got dred because a pally got a hoj on it or something right before

#

but its not worth looking even, i just feel better leaving it as prey

#

because the potential is there

loud light
#

the prey debuff is always 6 seconds regardless of how long the stun is

#

so DR doesn't matter

eager barn
#

oh true

low girder
#

yeah on azshara we just had hunter binding shot the hulk and then as it wore off i'd 1 cp kidney for the debuff

#

since binding lasts longer

west cove
#

is mecha ring set essential for assa ? any other combinations of rings beat those or no?

#

for raiding environment obviously

strange python
#

yoo guys, i forgot to ask earlier , i need a good WA to see energy, garrot, rupture , all that

fleet whale
#

they are by no means essential like the bracers for fire mages, but yes they can help you deal more damage

strange python
#

any nice WA for ass rogue ?

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT

#

how useful is self reliance? i just picked up gorak tul's mantle, generally i wouldnt pick up self reliance, but i'm not a huge fan of footpad, i'm trying to think through raid encounters for how often i'm 12 yds from all enemies, and it's pretty uh... rare.

#

i might take it for just for solo content though

tacit steppe
#

Yea as a melee class, really not a good trait lol

lean marten
#

is it possible to carry friends in 5 mask visions if they sit in first zone

#

how hard to the mobs scale

subtle tundra
#

depends on the spec

#

dps the hp gets doubled and thats it

#

if its tank, not as much hp but way more dmg

vast forum
#

as assa rogue it's quite possible

#

i've sold many boosts in visions

#

you can even bring them along for other zones if you have the right strats 😄

marble hemlock
#

just make sure theyre not tank-specced

#

youll get demolished :x

vast forum
#

you should still be fine if you go slow 😄

marble hemlock
#

dunno

#

i did it once

#

the 2 archers+faceless in the blacksmith quarter just wrecked me

#

the shoot does 90-100k dmg with a tank in the grp

#

instead of the usual 30k

strange python
#

cause i dont see getting 4 CP from garrot to put that rupture and after that for 1st envenom

shy dust
#

you have shrouded suffocation right?

strange python
#

i think mutilate is missing from there

#

i have 1 on my sholder

shy dust
#

thats the opener for shrouded+sub with toxic blade

#

garrote rupture (at 3 cp) garrote

strange python
#

i just tought we should use rupture and envenom with 4-5 cp

shy dust
#

just for that specific opener its the optimally way

#

since you want to pandemic your garrote

strange python
#

ok i understand

#

but u have to be in stealth at that opener , right ?

shy dust
#

yes

rigid mango
#

Assume every opener is from stealth.

civic palm
#

Yeah this isn't Classic, are any retail encounters forcing you to not be in stealth?

cobalt pelican
#

orgozoa he he

strange python
#

im just a big noob as rogue , thats all haha , im a MM hunter on main

#

and i see another thing , with that WA that i got , i see "EMP" above garrot , is that empowered ? and what should i do ?

dusk narwhal
#

Is there a guide for 5 mask runs? Any certain talent + corruption combos?

Thoughts on expedient corruption?

scarlet sequoia

strange python
#

garr>rup>garr>vend>tb>envm>mut>envm>vansh>2xgarr

#

i can do a short clip fast with this opener so you see my energy is fkd up

raven mica
strange python
arctic walrus
#

why do you not have poisons on, why did you vanish and overwrite an empowered garrote with 14 seconds left

strange python
#

i dont know when the poisions got off , ill put them back and try again

raven mica
#

"energy gets fucked"

doesnt have poisons on

arctic walrus
#

You are finishing at 3 cp

#

you didn't cast for like 2 seconds at full energy

static acorn
#

if I take VoP minor/major, do I still sync up vendetta casts w/ vanish or does that change?

strange python
#

its something new, i cant do everything very fast

#

i just want to do everything right

inland gull
#

@marble hemlock ye, helping tank specced people is nightmare, even in og, mobs hit insane, but carrying even an afk healer lot easier :p

strange python
#

so yeah the poisions was 1 of the prbolems right now

fathom swift
#

Why would you take vop minor if you just delay vendetta to line it up anyway

static acorn
#

I see it simming highly and people take it in some of the high parses im seeing, trying to find out myself why you would take it since presumably you wouldn't change the overlap

#

like in some cases im seeing it sim above C&S all else equal, implying it isn't just the vers

#

but can't tell why it would

fathom swift
#

Nothing personal traits increase its value a lot

static acorn
#

That would just be for the major though, yeah?

arctic walrus
#

If vop is your major/minor, likely you are also running subt, which largely decreases the pairability between vanish and vendetta

#

sims show that it's not a gain at all to sync, so just use vanish and vendetta on their separate cds

fathom swift
#

You can still run it with MA and just delay vanish to every other vendetta but it prob wont sim as high

static acorn
#

K so if I'm running sims for VoP I should be including Subterfuge, got it. Should I also include swapping a point of SS in for azerite?

#

Apologies for the questions, just got BotE and C&S 3 so im running tons of sims and looking into builds i didn't ever consider before

arctic walrus
#

you can sim that as well, but it probably wouldn't be better unless you have a lot of expedient pieces and 490 azerite

fathom swift
#

May as well sim it but its usually not better

torpid linden
#

if we're running subterfuge but no shrouded suffocation, do we not want to pandemic the subterfuge empowered garrote?

strange python
#

logs and video , now i think the opener is right and i dont feel the energy that bad again

#

but still , there is a lack of energy , its like it tells me to wait to get more energy and after to do the spells and thats dps lose while you wait for energy to get up

arctic walrus
#

okay you put poisons on

#

but you're still playing incorrectly

#

?

fathom swift
#

You're vanishing way way too early

strange python
#

i mean im doing what the opener says , in that order nothing more

#

or less

fathom swift
#

What opener says to vanish with half an empowered garrote left

turbid galleon
#

Vanish when garrote runs out

lone junco
#

does anyone play MA like this currently? or is it losing too much cleave.

fathom swift
#

when Garrote runs out

strange python
#

ok , i will try that , to vanish when garrot runs out

lone junco
#

shows a few k loss to go back to 1ss subterfuge, but its more flexible.

cobalt pelican
#

isn't subterfuge just

lone junco
#

actually thats funny. just a 90 dps loss to get subterfuge without 1ss

cobalt pelican
#

better for you

hollow talon
#

just got this

cobalt pelican
#

eh

strange python
#

nice for my hunter , honed mind

lone junco
#

got a 465 socket GCB. so thats going to be fun.

hollow talon
#

guess i wont have to pay for my sub for a bit with this lol

remote latch
#

@strange python, you're opener is good but yes don't waste your vanish too early, wait your garrot runs out, and i saw a lil mistake, envenom with 4-5 combots pts, never less

hollow talon
#

how much is that worth

strange python
#

@fathom swift @turbid galleon @remote latch wait garrot out may be like in 15 seconds

#

so what do i do in that 15 seconds if its the opener ?

cobalt pelican
#

press your builder and spender probably

strange python
#

i mean that EMP garrot , gets out in 15 seconds , and u said to wait vanish after that

fathom swift
#

Correct

turbid galleon
#

you do a few mutilates and a few envenoms

strange python
#

so i just go mutilate and envenom and rupture when i need till the EMP garrot get out of the way and than i do vanish and 2x garrot ??

fathom swift
#

Yes

strange python
#

but this thing is not in the opener guide... someone should put that

cobalt pelican
#

use an ounce of common sense

fathom swift
#

What do you mean it is in there

cobalt pelican
#

do you think you just take your hands off the keyboard till your garrote falls off

strange python
#

so the opener its like :
garr>rup>garr>vend>tb>envm>mut>envm>envm>mut>envm>rupture>evenom>vansh>2xgarr

#

i dont know , i tought there was like 2-3 sec or something when u said i wait for vanish

#

but 15 sec its a lot

cobalt pelican
#

well why would you v anish to put the dot up

#

that you just put up

#

3 seconds ago

fathom swift
#

Idk how you're casting env>rupture>env with 0 cp gain between

torpid linden
#

with subterfuge you have to delay your first vanish until the empowered garrote expires

strange python
#

ok , i understand that now , but i didnt udnerstand from the guide

remote latch
#

your garrot is still active for 15secondes, so why do you want to refresh it 🙂

strange python
#

i got it from you guys , because u are more experienced and i dont know shiet about ass rogue

#

i will do it again and see the results

remote latch
#

honnestly i think you understood the main thing, now you need to optimize hehe

lone junco
#

pray to the crit gods i guess.

strange python
#

i have a feeling that u will say something about first evenom in the opener

#

i know that envenom should be used at 4-5 cp same with rupture 4-5cp , but i just followed the opener without doing that

fathom swift
#

You let garrote drop for a few seconds before vanishing and you wasted a bunch of combo points casting garrote twice at 5 combo points

strange python
#

wait what ? but the opener say that i should use garrot 2 times

fathom swift
#

Yes, you dont have to have 5 combo points already to cast it

#

And if you have 2 you can vanish, garrote, env or rup, garrote

jolly spoke
#

when is the time we swap from Subf to MA?

remote latch
#

much better but yes your ennemy need to keep garrot EVERYTIME, so i prefer you vanish like 3seconds before it runs out than let your ennemy without any garrot at all hehe

vast forum
#

when it sims higher @jolly spoke

strange python
#

yeah , i saw that mistake i didnt pay much attention on garrot and it got off and i pressed vanish to late , ok

jolly spoke
#

as of right now @vast forum im mainly Nothing personal /twist the knife orientated. i dont have SS or dd. 474 geared.

remote latch
#

and i think you should use your azerite talent right after you're toxic blade (because your vendetta add extra damage)

#

so, gar>rup>gar>vendetta>toxic blade>azerite talent>envm>mut>envm>mut...

vast forum
#

with CLF you cast it before vendetta

#

with BotE you cast after TB

remote latch
#

ok, i said that because that's what i do with blood ennemy, but if you say so

vast forum
#

there's a lot of stuff still to fix in that video you posted, like casting rupture as the first finisher in a TB window, using a 2cp envenom

strange python
#

yeah i saw that 2cp envenom , i was just thinking about the opener

fathom swift
#

Yeah you def dont cast clf that late

vast forum
#

best advice i can give you is to read the guide thoroughly, maybe check logs of high-ranking rogues

strange python
#

going like a robot with it , didnt care about the CP at all , i know what ur saying

vast forum
#

the opener (first 5 globals) was fine

remote latch
#

yeah much better

strange python
#

ok , i will do it again video and log , last one for today hahaha

#

how u like me now ? sub

cobalt pelican
#

still a ton of mistakes

#

just follow it properly

#

vanish when garrote falls not when it enters pandemic, envenom between your garrotes if you're capped on cp and not out of energy

strange python
#

ok , the envenom between garrot i get , but the vanish when garrote falls , i dont get it

#

its counter to what people just told me

#

@remote latch take a look if you can and anyone that knows

cobalt pelican
#

you're making something that's very simple and laid out in the guide very clearly quite complicated

strange python
#

people said that i should not lose garrot , right ? and u told me i should vanish when garrote falls

cobalt pelican
#

it's in the guide

#

please

#

just

#

follow the guide

#

if you're playing shrouded

#

let your garrote expire

#

if you're not

#

you garrote in pandemic

strange python
#

my God... ok so i will let garrot expire and after i will vanish and garrot again

grim tangle
#

reapply garrote right as the first garrote expires

#

vanish right before it expires so you can garrote at the right time

#

but the bigger problem is you replaced your vanished garrote with a normal garrote with like 7 seconds left

strange python
#

ok , i will keep all this in mind.. damn its first time i do this opener and i find some of this things and its a bit hard to implement all

#

but i start to understand little by little

fathom swift
#

When i said you had no garrote up for a couple seconds i didnt mean refresh it super early, just as soon as it drops instead of 3s after

strange python
#

i will do my best to do it right based on all the infos you guys gave me and help

#

i dont even want to think about AOE opener right now :)))

strange python
#

U guys make assa seem like rocket science ngl just follow the guide and press the right buttons

if you're not killing carapace mythic anytime soon a 475 dagger socket is fine

#

besides that like.. nothing is irreplaceable, you don't really possess corruption

raven mica
#

tfw that sims the same as my outlaw ST without stars

cobalt pelican

oh you do have a few low tier expedient pieces you're not equipping

#

hm

raven mica
#

tfw you have a 470 with expedient

#

two 470 pieces with expedient.

cobalt pelican
#

tbh i'd just recommend socketing the dagger and farming the mechagon ring set and socketing those probably

#

you don't need to equip both initially, you can just ge tthe from behind ring from junkyard and socket that and play it as a normal ring short term or something

So 3ss is the most important to have right now for m+ right ?

it doesnt benefit from vendetta

The enchants you're using are very questionable

#

And yeah vendetta is whitelisted for the damage it buffs, only rogue spells and traits

fleet jacinth
#

just got a new dagger right before raid, no time to switch the second to stat enchant

latent field
#

Look at your damage breakdown and compare to your sim

fathom swift
#

I mean you're also using 30 stat ring enchants

latent field
#

You may have low rolled on infinite stars, there’s a huge variance

fleet jacinth
#

need to upgrade ring ench, you're right

#

ty for your help guys

fathom swift
#

Tidal surge almost certainly better than scent of blood on st too

latent field
#

Also you didn’t pot

fleet jacinth
#

Yeah I completely forgot x.x

patent topaz
#

minor things, also damage variance means you wont hit your simdps on patchwerk

#

all the time

latent field
#

Sims include all buffs and pots and stuff, plus average infinite stars rolls

tall juniper
#

For the set rings, do you want the gain haste one or is the damage enemy good too?

fleet jacinth
#

so there's a pretty big variance in inf stars procs, huh

patent topaz
#

inf stars sims are huge

#

proc rate not so consistent

It’s good for parsing since you have low lows but high highs

fleet jacinth
#

yeah i bursted for like 75k one fight

at the start

with 2 ss maybe even exsang is better than tb

#

but I dont think so

I’ve only seen exsang in super high ilvl haste builds that stack expedient this tier

#

yea, to be fair TB sims better for me even in my 40% haste set and 2x SS

how strong is sin for pushing m+ compared to outlaw?

quasi pewter
#

worse but not by a huge amount

static glacier
#

safe to macro the on use wrists or naw?

#

since it doesn't seem to be affected by TB

fast pine
#

I'd say outlaw is overall better than assa for m+

static glacier
#

@feral rune major issue with sin is that you have to commit to excelling at either ST or AoE, since our traits aren't as generically useful as outlaw. in essence outlaw can be good at everything, sin struggles to do the same.

#

e.g echoing blades isn't useful ST, Nothing personal / Double dose don't really do much aoe.

ashen oriole
#

somehow subterfuge sims always higher, yet i see many people go with Master Assass. what could be the reason that for me it sims worse?

faint harness
#

subt sims higher for most of us with decent gear

#

Seen that question asked and answered a lot, Subt scale better than MA.

ashen oriole
#

Thanks

minor garden
#

kings rest on tyrannical week, it's not rly good having 3xEB and 3xSS right?

#

rather go with ST traits

#

perhaps with 1 EB and 1 SS ?

#

i would think assa ST traits vs outlaw would be better this week

#

i guess 3xSS is still the best though, but dont wanna have to respecc

arctic walrus
#

3 ss is always good but can drop to 1 eb

#

yea but since i dont have pieces with SS and antoher ST trait without reforging i think ST traits will be almost as good

shouldnt need to select another item u select different traits

works fine for me if u just select another trait

And on Nzoth mythic? saw that sometimes guys are playing with vop major

scarlet sequoia
#

rng logs

arctic harness
#

Is the 3x Nothing Personal + VoP build better than Double Dose stacking?

scarlet sequoia
#

if youre progressing vision major is definitely not the move on nzoth

#

dont want inconsistent dmg and different timers

#

depends on your gear + corruptions @arctic harness

arctic harness
#

Been playing outlaw mostly, but kinda wanna go with assa for a bit

#

Have most corruptions on a couple of good pieces

#

But it's kinda hard to just throw everything in the sim at once haha

#

So need some rough guidelines

scarlet sequoia
#

sim the different builds then and compare the sims

arctic harness
#

Yeah that goes to millions of iterations real fast

scarlet sequoia
#

premium definitely worth bro

pseudo hamlet
#

How many iterations you get with premium anyway?

scarlet sequoia
#

epic 1 is 16 mil

arctic harness
#

I have the 5 dollar tier and you get 5.5

strange python
pseudo hamlet
#

Is premium restricted to yours account only or you can play with other players sims aswell?

strange python
#

the latter

#

doesnt matter where the sim comes from, the simming itself is what uses your acc

pseudo hamlet
#

Thanks

haughty flame
#

morning all, can some1 please give me some advice, im confused how subt would be better over MA

tacit steppe
#

Subt scales better, more stats you get the less valuable the crit from MA becomes

#

Is the short version

haughty flame
#

hmm

tacit steppe
#

And because it sims better?

haughty flame
#

why do the higher logs all play MA, is it because they would stack more haste?

tacit steppe
#

probably because they play what they know. Just because someone had a good log doesn’t mean it couldn’t have been better. Could have been lucky IS procs or whatever. And they could have potentially done more if they were using subt.

#

But it’s totally dependent on each individual character because there’s not a lot of people that have the same exact stats/corruptions/ corruptions that scale with ilvl etc

haughty flame
#

true true

#

thanks for that 🙂

crimson palm
#

VoP major isn't that bad on N'zoth

#

Like if you get good procs It speeds things up but you still can make the timings work

#

And you can get 2 extra vendettas out

scarlet sequoia
#

would never play it on progress

crimson palm
#

I tried it yesterday because I hated the exsanguinate timing on Psychus, it seemed ok

#

but i'll probably go back to standard

deft obsidian
#

Just progressing N'zoth currently. Running 3x DD but thinking is it worth swapping to 3x SS (albeit I have to drop to 465 azerite to achieve the 3rd 😦 ) I'm perma on tentacle duty so won't be down slamming

fringe bear
#

hey guys, just recently come back to my rogue past couple weeks, hadn't played it since 8.1, was my main for like 14 years, just getting back into the swing of things, reading up etc, everything says to go crit/haste, but my mastery is always simming highest, am i missing something?

tropic ocean
#

nope

#

Stat weights are all over the place due to corruption

#

they change a lot especially with gear/cortuption changes

warm parcel
#

And the crit haste is because those are what assa generally needs as a base

#

at this point weve access to so many secondaries

#

and assa doesnt do any dmg on tentacles anyway on nozoth

#

youre there to dps boss

fringe bear
#

sweet, cheers lads

warm parcel
#

and if youre not down, you can focus on the two burst windows before later phase starts

deft obsidian
#

@warm parcel assuming i'll be better running DDx3 if focusing bashers/n'zoth.

warm parcel
#

well least not ss

raven mica
#

If ur tentacle bitch might as well swap to outlaw

warm parcel
#

strong disagree

#

assa can still carry its weight at boss dps

#

if you really just focus on it

raven mica
#

Problem is that why is he up top then

#

Should have another class go up top and he go down to tychus

warm parcel
#

no

#

I didnt go down

#

And our other rogue that did, didnt ven it

#

we just blasted boss

deft obsidian
#

We don't need the dps down on psychus hence me staying top

raven mica
#

Unfortunate

#

Most groups don’t need tentacle damage anyways

warm parcel
#

What I did upstairs just clowning tentacles and blasting boss:
stacking coral on boss while killing tenties
then the usual bote ven on boss during the 2 windows

#

could get some p good burst windows

#

And if you have 3 np its even better

deft obsidian
#

I'm normally 1st/2nd on Nzoth damage (holding trinket/ven/bote) but we've only just reached 2nd burn window

#

Just was curious if worth running something different for tendies but yeah i'll just stick as DDx3 for now.

raven mica
#

Is maut helm better for the triple NP vop build?

#

Or is there a better helm than it, cuz with raden ur stuck with DD or SS

warm parcel
#

I forget which I have

#

sec

limber dew
#

@scarlet sequoia the pins seem a bit dated and the only coral bit i can see is also discussing the use of font.

deft obsidian
#

Running Maut just to get 1x NP. But I don't have a mythic ra'den 😦

strange python
#

!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.

strange python
#

eh

warm parcel
#

Going with the generic what ever sims best on nozoth aint bad

limber dew
#

i need the ST coral usage mechanic

warm parcel
#

I just really liked the 3np when I saw chinese do it early on

limber dew
#

like do i delay the use of vendetta on the pull etc

#

or just delay the cds when they are cloesr to aligning on 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6. and using vanish on the 3 and 6 alignments?

warm parcel
#

Ive gibbering maw, pauldrons of great convergence and fleshbeast cuirass

raven mica
#

Ok so you have raden helm on

warm parcel
#

the 3np vop minor on nozoth is really to maximise first 2 windows and to get an extra ven at the end

#

but dd works just fine

raven mica
#

idk why I’m asking these questions when I’m playing outlaw on that fight anyways

warm parcel
#

heresy

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

How to use Razer Coral?

  • For Assa, apply it as soon as possible and consume stacks with each Vendetta, reapply after.
shut thistle
#

which azerite powers should I pick for Tortured Fleshbeast Cuirass ?

red bloom
warm parcel
#

theyre not rogues

raven mica
#

They’re DHs, BM hunters, and fire mages

red bloom
#

yeah true, big feelsbadman

#

to be fair though, Im quite happy enough i can sim for that under 40 corruption without stars =p

warm parcel
#

83k 0 corr club

red bloom
#

thats a club I'd like to join XD

shut thistle
#

i dont exactly know which azerite armors should i get for single target. Have any idea?

warm parcel
#

what ever sims ywell

limber dew
#

@tropic ocean so on the pull i jsut use it

#

then moving forward consume on the vendettas

faint harness
#

I get beaten in sims by other peoples alts at this point, and my sin sims arent even that low. Just rogue stuff

patent topaz
#

I get beaten by my own alt kekchamp

royal lantern
#

you probs sim more dps with disc priest at this point peeposhrug

rose breach
#

hey guys quick question 🙂 does two "Nothing Personal" stacks or should i take only one of those?

royal lantern
#

dmg stacks

#

if you have it 3x you can play with VoP major too

rose breach
#

nice, thanks a lot!

shut thistle
#

i couldnt understand of sims when choosing my bis gear for single target :/

tropic ocean
#

@limber dew yea

red bloom
#

@shut thistle Select the traits in the gear you have on raidbots, and have that decide for you whats bis for you

strange python
#

im a prophet

shut thistle
#

Pauldrons of the Great Convergence or Gorak Tul's Mantle would be better?

mossy pawn
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

sim it

#

480 gorak tuls beats heroic nzoth shoulders for me, but not mythic obv

red bloom
#

Gorak Tul's are a solid choice

cobalt pelican
#

they're pretty interchangable i think, but i'd always play nzoth if so cause bbi is just like ta in trait form

#

on mythic

bleak spoke
#

Give me stat corruptions

lean marten
#

has t3 475 IS

#

complains

scarlet sequoia
#

thinks t3 475 IS is good

warm parcel
lean marten
#

ur right its only BIS outside of m+ total dogshit

warm parcel
#

it is complete dogshit

#

anywhere

#

this isnt dh discord

lean marten
#

except IS, GW, Expedient are the best

#

have fun in lala land

rigid mango
#

IS is good on irrelevant bosses and aight on nzoth purely based on fight length

#

It's really nothing I want

#

Nor something most people playing assa rogue should

polar cape
#

I like star to pad on useless boss

bleak spoke

Imagine actually using stars

#

Like

faint harness
#

Imagine imagining

bleak spoke

To do anything but pad your sim

#

heyo guys

polar cape
#

I feed my IS with expediant and gallecaller actually more consistent then tendies #feelcrafting

mighty moss
#

have any of you tried going mastery amplifier

#

i just started playing assa for raid

bleak spoke
#

I have a bunch of pieces but it sims not great

faint harness
#

ur the first one

strange python
#

the messiah

bleak spoke
#

I got them early in the tier and wore them to fill corruption gap and they did just about as well as predicted

frigid musk
#

Which essences are good for raiding on assa ?

faint harness
#

Condensed lifeforce, blood of the enemy, breath of the dying, vision of perfection (memes)

mighty moss
#

What is likley to be usefull as assa in simple patchwork ?

#

i mean stats

#

etc

faint harness
#

crit/haste always a safe bet. But every player in this game that cares about dps sims themselves on raidbots.com and dont listen to other ppl, you should too.

spring topaz
#

I like playing around with 45% crit 20%haste 40% mastery.

mighty moss
#

But lets say for like wich azerite traits sync best with wich stats

scarlet sequoia
#

not trying to be rude here

bleak spoke
#

on st there are very few setups haste and crit aren't good for

scarlet sequoia
#

but wtf are u asking

faint harness
#

Theres no specific stat points you want to go for, you take your character and sim it with every single stat.

bleak spoke
#

but just sim

scarlet sequoia
#

u just sim urself

bleak spoke
#

if you care enough to ask these questions you should probably sim

faint harness

Its not some magic 8ball thing
