i'll jsut tell him shoulders
so prolly not helm
he mainly will be doing m+ so want those traits (i guess ehcoing blades and shrouded suff)
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)?
is tentacle lace terrible
@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.
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
DD is for the most part bad in M+.
so swap for EH?
IDK that's also quite shit.
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
Sure that's fine. You can still try to get another SS/EB though.
yeah bit unlucky on that :p also which aoe trait out of the engineering ones is best?
Sim it.
blood mallet has EH p high up is that just cause of the default gear they use?
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
Sim it.
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
Dungeon Slice isn't good.
Just sim patchwerk 4 targets, 6 targets, 8 targets, 10 targets at 40s with no lust separately and digest.
ok
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
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
Link the sim.
The dream is real guys. Helm/Shoulder/Chest 480 EB/SS
@white wyvern thanks bud
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
thanks!
Does Infinite Stars benefit from haste?
Yes
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)
but on single target ?
Well, 5 bleeds = infinite energy
and when there are 3-4 targets, i feel like its a living hell....
Beacuse the spec gets a lot harder, yeah.
Hello everyone
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 ?
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.
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 ?
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
I am new to assasination rogue and read a lot guides from website but I have still some problems with BiS gear
Can you have an extended window of high energy inside Vend or TB, etc
I want to focused on single target for raids
what trinkets and rings should I get?
By mechagon ones you mean Overclocking Bit Band and Logic Loop of Division right?
what is the deal of playing subtrefurge over master assasin without shrouded suffocation?
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.
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
Are you using MA or subterfuge?
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?
MA , i dont like subterfuge , because i dont like to have that invs spell on after i get out of inv
look at the order in a Quick Sim is the easiest
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.
ok , thanks for the infos , ill see what i can do
hmmm interesting https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eJKbZeaYNJmHzEph38i5jL
can rogs no longer shadowstep to racing flag?
Nope.
sad
Why is TA so good for rogues ? does it proc from bleeds/poisons ?
Should I always run 1 SS trait and 1 EB trait for m+?
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
Shrouded Suffocation vs Filthy Transfusion ?
yes
which azerite trait do i need for single target ?
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.
any good WA for ass rogue ?
!wa
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)
https://wago.io/E1EB91OtM (Lokkek's Group)
https://wago.io/SyLUNGD4X (Sovv's Group)
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
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
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
u could swap 1 or 2 EB around but overall won't make a huge diff imo
U could do a balanced build between the two. U speaking 1 extreme to the next
DD is quite literally one of the worst traits possible
yes but still better than EB on ST lol
Wat
if you want more st in m+you take stat traiuts like blightborn or HoD
How is that even relevant 
U guys now debating it now the guy who needed the help is gone lol
lmao
@errant swallow
How is glimpse of clarity for sin?
very bad
Happy tuesday
Have a great day everyone
I guess thats what I get for getting a socketed expedient piece last week
At least i got my first 480 azzy gear
Yes, sorry I was taking M+ on tyrannical weeks
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
^
How much will single target dps take a hit if 3 eb 3 ss?
Gotcha
you can sim it too if you want a more accurate answer
Ya true. But running 3 eb and 3 ss should result in a higher total dps for dungeon even on tyrannical?
3eb is almost always gonna be more overall dps
do mecha rings proc on nzoth?
only workshop/boralus/kr ur propably gonna see higher overall without eb
How much haste is not enough for m+ ?
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
Sweet, ty,
should i aim for 3 times echoing blades for m+?
yes
and what other trait?
Scroll up this was just discussed
3 ss?
Keep scrolling lol and read. Put some effort into it
if youre talking traits, yea
for assassin in 2v2 do you use basically same build as M+?
ah nice
Do not use a M+ build. 
ugh, a dh in my guild has 5 gushing wounds..
Did coral tooltip get changed today for US after reset. Seen a pic flying around. Not sure if fake
People seem to have same old same old.
@rigid mango i did a short video with a single target dummy , take a look if you can
https://vimeo.com/410308234
This is "Assasination Rogue - dummy single target" by Wonder B0y on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
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...
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
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
for starters, keep your dots up?
Start stealthed?? đ¤
o no
I saw first global and said "I'm done".
why the fuck are you dancing in front of a dummy
You could also have more than 10 energy before riding that dry toxic blade
ok i have the logs @rigid mango https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/xqGy4jPv6dahHpX1/
should I sim 3 or 4 patchwerk bosses for aoe? and how long?
You should not macro vanish to vendetta
tb before vanish
You want vanish after TB
You mut'd above 3 CP
You have random holes where you don't use TB it seems
yes i will do mutilate at 4-5 cp , i mistakes sometimes , but i dont think that the problem with lack of energy
And yeah your bleed uptime is horrendous
ok so use TB on cd
that makes a huge difference on lack of energy
you're spending 50 energy
for nothing
Your lack of energy is lack of resource managment
Think of it as a defined amount of energy per fight
and about the opener .. i did a macro to press it for Vendetta+Trinket+vanish , because TB cant be impelemented there ...
Caring about buffs doesn't matter
so i chose to TB and press the macro
Combo points is a resource
I wouldnt advise macroing abilities together
so dont use TB on cd , wait for energy to rise ?
It's nearly irrelevant tho 
Just plan to have enough energy when it comes off so you dont need to wait
^
And its not irrelevant
Extra abilities used during toxic blade is quite big
People think buff managment matters
Or TB minmaxing matters
but it really is very minor đ
so can i keep using the Vend+trink+vanish > TB > Mut ?
No use vanish after TB
if you have to, macro vend and trinket
then tb then vanish
macros more like wackros
amirite
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
It is, but in this day and age everyone has so much free energy from procs etc, such as lucid
Yes it is more dps but not a significant amount
any increase is a big deal
It really isn't
It is?
Good to know
Maybe for you, maybe not for everyone, not for the vast majority
Well lets say everyone optimizes in a raid and deals 0.1% dps more
Thats alot when your on progress on a hard boss
Is it damage that youâre failing at?
So I don't personally care about it enough
Well we wiped Nzoth on 3% like 10 times before we killed it
With all this gear at this point damage isnât the issue
That eas 6 weeks ago
playing as good as you can makes up for other people not
kills the boss faster sometimes
sometimes is enough for me
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.
You know if it was a significant dps increase to pool energy people would be telling you to do so
some do
Lol
Instead of saying it isnât a big deal because it isnât a major contribution to your damage
If you choose to not pool thats fine but its a dps loss
seems like it depends who's on that day to tell you
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
What?
When infact the diff between me playing properly and brain afk is minor
Sorry if I've offended you or your playstyle. Wasnt my intentions. He asked a question on how to improve and I helped him
I havn't been offended
Saying rng could make up for it is irrelevant. You could get the good rng pull on top of pooling.
I just don't like the fact that people overvalue stuff that infact is nearly irrelevant

I disagree that itâs ânearly irrelevantâ
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
And it even gets stuff like
who cares if its small
But itâs not.
If I could I would
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
Idk where youâre ideas were but saying the apl does it so it must be right is not the way to look at things at all
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?
My guess is that it isnât simple just to change
Because I'll tell you this, the rogue apl is one of the most refined of all specs
Classes*
Rather
I have no idea how to write apls or really any knowledge in it
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?
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.
it's a way more significant gain to loot 6 expedients like a gaymer or to proc 5 tentacle a minute
Thats true
Saying things like ânot a significant gainâ âlargely irrelevantâ does nothing
???

It explains how it's, largly irrelevant and not a significant gain?
I disagree with the fact that itâs largely irrelevant.
Because?
But the point is whatâs relevant and whatâs not is on a scale thatâs different for ever player on what the goals are
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.
Yall are literally arguing semantics.
Both
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.
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?
I'm not talking about several mistakes?
I'm talking about the diff between pooling and not.
Yeah but it started with that dude asking how to get better right
Anyways, I've already said what I felt, and so did you two I hope.
Whos making alot of mistakes
This wont get anywhere at all.
@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
I know.
can someone tell me how to sim for m+? I thought it was like 3 or 4 patchwerk bosses and 1 minute
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
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.
@fading stag emulate M+ environment using multiple patchwerk sims and digest from there.
Having op corruptions on gear and good rng>proper pooling, it's just how it is right now
thanks for the answers, and about that Vendett+ trinket + vanish > TB , u said TB has to be before vanish
yes
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
You dont want to macro vendetta and vanish
ideally you should tb into 5 cps, and then vanish
fk...
and i like to use Vendetta before TB cause of globals
Its not that hard to find 2 buttons to not have to macro them
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
if you use vendetta after a TB cast, it's a waste global for TB
ok , so cant use TB anywere before vendeta or after vanish
Its also bad if you have np traits
so cant get an easier way
idk what the debate is here, just use the opener in the guide
Yeah its really simple
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/eu/ravencrest/Baraw
here are my traits
You're running ss? Without subterfuge?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/skmsyoKhJUbkgoa2ryVwb6 1200 increase to run subterfuge
i just find it strange to use that subterfuge... because i cant use other spell for 3 sec after vanish , right ?
You can
i already looked into that , but ofc i didnt read every single word
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
subterfuge usage and opener are pretty straightforward
its totally different the subterfuge opener from what i see , different use of vanish also
nah , i aint gonna use subterfuge, too different
Shrouded suffocation has basically no value then
very confused by that decision
it takes like half a minute to learn and maybe 2 pulls if you're slow
1k dps increase and gain even more value with multiple targets and is very easy to play
Yo guys, is it just me or does Nzoth get more dmg from us Assa? đ
What do you mean?
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 ?
There is no 3 seconds of no spells
so how do i get out of that 3 secc
i dont know what it is, but i suddenly sky rocket in dmg vs him
3 seconds pass
Psychus?
1 2 3
like 40k normaly and 60-70k vs him
you change your bars so you can still use your other abilities while in stealth
@scarlet cave its because he usually takes 99% less damage
i tought that opener is for " Master Assassin talented "
the point is you should be using subterfuge with one ss trait
@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.
yes i got that , so i can put the spells on the stealth bar , didnt know that
how r u double garroting with master assassin
all is so different, MA different opener , SS or no SS different opener , exsanguinate different opener
i mean wtf...
That's usually what happens with different talents
.... ok thanks for infos..
Itd be kinda boring if you hit the same buttons no matter what talents
just practice and get it into your muscle memory, takes a while to get used to when you swap talents
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
its not a different rotation
its just 1 spec
opener, not rotation.
i mean opener
just a sequence of a couple of spells at the start
Its just the first like 10s
but 6-7 different openers , what is that
talents should change playstyle
90% of your rotation is the same keeping bleeds up and spamming mutilate envenom
and i see 5 openers
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
I can guarantee you will not play exsang
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+)
even heroic and m+15's you can just push whatever
so do whatever you want then
as long as you follow basic principles
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
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
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
you garrote once, how is that weird?
it's like the.. normal rogue opener..
opening with garrote instead of mut is wierd?
its that it only generates 1 combo point
so garrote muti rup garrote and then normal rotation vanish and reset garrot
vanish-> garr is with < 5.4 sec left on garr
Youâre overwriting youâre empowered garrote since the last one isnât in subterfuge
it doesn't stack
ok got it i though u could stack em i only sim 93k i need to get better at this game
i meant it as i need to get better nothing much
IS stacker alert
whats the different with shrouded suffocation that you use 2 garrote in opener
and with no shoruded u only use 1 shrouded
it does more damage and gives more combo points
ok got it then got to get used to this new rotation then ty guys going to go hit the dummy now
is there a reason why people are running internal bleeding during raids?
the whole row is pure utility so it really doesn't matter that much what you take in that row
ye was noticing it on logs, maybe there was a bug so wanted to double check
never know these days, small indie company
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
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
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
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
@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
they probably want to pad their own logs
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.
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
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
the prey debuff is always 6 seconds regardless of how long the stun is
so DR doesn't matter
oh true
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
is mecha ring set essential for assa ? any other combinations of rings beat those or no?
for raiding environment obviously
yoo guys, i forgot to ask earlier , i need a good WA to see energy, garrot, rupture , all that
they are by no means essential like the bracers for fire mages, but yes they can help you deal more damage
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)
https://wago.io/E1EB91OtM (Lokkek's Group)
https://wago.io/SyLUNGD4X (Sovv's Group)
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
nice , thanks for that , i was look also at https://wago.io/SyAZO3zXz , i will check those right now also
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
Yea as a melee class, really not a good trait lol
is it possible to carry friends in 5 mask visions if they sit in first zone
how hard to the mobs scale
depends on the spec
dps the hp gets doubled and thats it
if its tank, not as much hp but way more dmg
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 đ
you should still be fine if you go slow đ
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
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/316923750073499648/702245893902041311/unknown.png
so how do i do the combo points here ?
cause i dont see getting 4 CP from garrot to put that rupture and after that for 1st envenom
you have shrouded suffocation right?
i just tought we should use rupture and envenom with 4-5 cp
just for that specific opener its the optimally way
since you want to pandemic your garrote
yes
Assume every opener is from stealth.
Yeah this isn't Classic, are any retail encounters forcing you to not be in stealth?
orgozoa he he
: - |
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 ?
Is there a guide for 5 mask runs? Any certain talent + corruption combos?
Thoughts on expedient corruption?
good
ok , something is wrong with this new rotation that i do... can someone check this out ? its just less than a min on dummy , the energy is down and i cant do shit after the opener and maybe 1-2 spells
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/tBJnN93r64d7wFbV/
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
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/waYnZQtHPyYv5NPoSUK7jm
Game's tryin to tell me something and I dont wanna listen
my energy gets fkd on this opener
https://vimeo.com/410415888
why do you not have poisons on, why did you vanish and overwrite an empowered garrote with 14 seconds left
i dont know when the poisions got off , ill put them back and try again
"energy gets fucked"
doesnt have poisons on
if I take VoP minor/major, do I still sync up vendetta casts w/ vanish or does that change?
its something new, i cant do everything very fast
i just want to do everything right
@marble hemlock ye, helping tank specced people is nightmare, even in og, mobs hit insane, but carrying even an afk healer lot easier :p
so yeah the poisions was 1 of the prbolems right now
Why would you take vop minor if you just delay vendetta to line it up anyway
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
Nothing personal traits increase its value a lot
That would just be for the major though, yeah?
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
You can still run it with MA and just delay vanish to every other vendetta but it prob wont sim as high
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
you can sim that as well, but it probably wouldn't be better unless you have a lot of expedient pieces and 490 azerite
May as well sim it but its usually not better
if we're running subterfuge but no shrouded suffocation, do we not want to pandemic the subterfuge empowered garrote?
ok guys , i did it again with poisons ON (
)
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Xk3Z9JVgMBAWHaDh/
https://vimeo.com/410418612
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
You're vanishing way way too early
What opener says to vanish with half an empowered garrote left
Vanish when garrote runs out
when Garrote runs out
ok , i will try that , to vanish when garrot runs out
shows a few k loss to go back to 1ss subterfuge, but its more flexible.
isn't subterfuge just
actually thats funny. just a 90 dps loss to get subterfuge without 1ss
better for you
eh
nice for my hunter , honed mind
got a 465 socket GCB. so thats going to be fun.
guess i wont have to pay for my sub for a bit with this lol
@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
how much is that worth
@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 ?
press your builder and spender probably
i mean that EMP garrot , gets out in 15 seconds , and u said to wait vanish after that
Correct
you do a few mutilates and a few envenoms
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 ??
Yes
but this thing is not in the opener guide... someone should put that
use an ounce of common sense
What do you mean it is in there
do you think you just take your hands off the keyboard till your garrote falls off
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
well why would you v anish to put the dot up
that you just put up
3 seconds ago
Idk how you're casting env>rupture>env with 0 cp gain between
with subterfuge you have to delay your first vanish until the empowered garrote expires
ok , i understand that now , but i didnt udnerstand from the guide
your garrot is still active for 15secondes, so why do you want to refresh it đ
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
honnestly i think you understood the main thing, now you need to optimize hehe
@fathom swift @turbid galleon @remote latch
i did it again, not perfect but i waited for vanish
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/x9BdkLDF3yA8j6Rt/
https://vimeo.com/410423722
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
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
wait what ? but the opener say that i should use garrot 2 times
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
when is the time we swap from Subf to MA?
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
when it sims higher @jolly spoke
yeah , i saw that mistake i didnt pay much attention on garrot and it got off and i pressed vanish to late , ok
as of right now @vast forum im mainly Nothing personal /twist the knife orientated. i dont have SS or dd. 474 geared.
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...
ok, i said that because that's what i do with blood ennemy, but if you say so
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
yeah i saw that 2cp envenom , i was just thinking about the opener
Yeah you def dont cast clf that late
best advice i can give you is to read the guide thoroughly, maybe check logs of high-ranking rogues
going like a robot with it , didnt care about the CP at all , i know what ur saying
the opener (first 5 globals) was fine
yeah much better
ok , i will do it again video and log , last one for today hahaha
This is "ass rogue dummy opener (best version" by Wonder B0y on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
how u like me now ? 
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
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
you're making something that's very simple and laid out in the guide very clearly quite complicated
people said that i should not lose garrot , right ? and u told me i should vanish when garrote falls
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
my God... ok so i will let garrot expire and after i will vanish and garrot again
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
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
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
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 :)))
U guys make assa seem like rocket science ngl just follow the guide and press the right buttons
anyone using https://wago.io/6JJ6laqgo ?
stoped working today after reset
=/
Yes there's something weird going on with Coral, hold your butts.
So 3ss is the most important to have right now for m+ right ?
sooo i got almost enough for 2 slots of gems what should i be gemming here? what do yall see as the least replaceable items here?
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
tfw that sims the same as my outlaw ST without stars
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 ?
any1 has a quick answer?
yes probably
Kk ty!
all the expedient pieces sim lower than my current gear
i tried a fuck ton of combinations
im wearing the highest ilvl
err highest dps gear i can
@raven mica
Got my 2nd carapace dagger this evening and I was hyped. It let me down a bit immediately after on Nzoth though, lol. Think I'll just run one cara dagger and keep running stars 2 for that fight
I was hoping getting the 2nd one would let me not need to use stars and more but it's just too strong
Is BoTE a good major for raiding?

expedient 7 now god bless
can anyone check my logs? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/J3TQg7znbYAwBXkZ#fight=36&type=damage-done&source=10
46k dps on shad, simming at 52k
im sure some part of that is from not pre-potting, but 6k dps seems somewhere else
proc more starts
I always pandemic rupture under 8s and garrote under 5s, toxic blade on cd with >50 energy
uptimes and traits look ok
scent is pretty bad though
in the opener breath before vendetta and tb after vendetta
what before vendetta?
major essence
ok, i was using reaping after vendetta because 20% extra dmg
it doesnt benefit from vendetta
oh
The enchants you're using are very questionable
And yeah vendetta is whitelisted for the damage it buffs, only rogue spells and traits
just got a new dagger right before raid, no time to switch the second to stat enchant
Look at your damage breakdown and compare to your sim
I mean you're also using 30 stat ring enchants
You may have low rolled on infinite stars, thereâs a huge variance
Tidal surge almost certainly better than scent of blood on st too
Also you didnât pot
Yeah I completely forgot x.x
minor things, also damage variance means you wont hit your simdps on patchwerk
all the time
Sims include all buffs and pots and stuff, plus average infinite stars rolls
For the set rings, do you want the gain haste one or is the damage enemy good too?
so there's a pretty big variance in inf stars procs, huh
Itâs good for parsing since you have low lows but high highs
Iâve 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
exsang is v fun spec
how strong is sin for pushing m+ compared to outlaw?
worse but not by a huge amount
safe to macro the on use wrists or naw?
since it doesn't seem to be affected by TB
I'd say outlaw is overall better than assa for m+
@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.
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?
subt sims higher for most of us with decent gear
Seen that question asked and answered a lot, Subt scale better than MA.
Thanks
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
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
Anyone have a razer coral weak aura that acshally has the counter showing?
i have one that suposed to show it but its not
no
dont recommend doing that either
check the pins
Should I play VoP Major if it is simming better than blood or is it a trap?
good on pure st fights
how do I compare traits on a single piece in raidbots?
top gear > click on all of them
it demands another item selected though, do I just indulge it?
shouldnt need to select another item u select different traits
but ye i guess u go do it
ah I figured it out
it won't take two pieces of the same name but differnt ilvl simmed against eachother it seems
got it simming anyhow
And on Nzoth mythic? saw that sometimes guys are playing with vop major
rng logs
Is the 3x Nothing Personal + VoP build better than Double Dose stacking?
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
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
sim the different builds then and compare the sims
Yeah that goes to millions of iterations real fast
premium definitely worth bro
How many iterations you get with premium anyway?
epic 1 is 16 mil
I have the 5 dollar tier and you get 5.5
you could take a look here and see what could be useful to get you an idea what to sim: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/24#boss=2335&class=Rogue&spec=Assassination
Is premium restricted to yours account only or you can play with other players sims aswell?
the latter
doesnt matter where the sim comes from, the simming itself is what uses your acc
Thanks
morning all, can some1 please give me some advice, im confused how subt would be better over MA
Subt scales better, more stats you get the less valuable the crit from MA becomes
Is the short version
hmm
And because it sims better?
why do the higher logs all play MA, is it because they would stack more haste?
probably because they play what they know. Just because someone had a good log doesnât mean it couldnât have been better. Could have been lucky IS procs or whatever. And they could have potentially done more if they were using subt.
But itâs totally dependent on each individual character because thereâs not a lot of people that have the same exact stats/corruptions/ corruptions that scale with ilvl etc
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
would never play it on progress
I tried it yesterday because I hated the exsanguinate timing on Psychus, it seemed ok
but i'll probably go back to standard
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 đŚ ) I'm perma on tentacle duty so won't be down slamming
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?
nope
Stat weights are all over the place due to corruption
they change a lot especially with gear/cortuption changes
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
sweet, cheers lads
and if youre not down, you can focus on the two burst windows before later phase starts
@warm parcel assuming i'll be better running DDx3 if focusing bashers/n'zoth.
well least not ss
If ur tentacle bitch might as well swap to outlaw
strong disagree
assa can still carry its weight at boss dps
if you really just focus on it
Problem is that why is he up top then
Should have another class go up top and he go down to tychus
no
I didnt go down
And our other rogue that did, didnt ven it
we just blasted boss
We don't need the dps down on psychus hence me staying top
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
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.
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
@scarlet sequoia the pins seem a bit dated and the only coral bit i can see is also discussing the use of font.
Running Maut just to get 1x NP. But I don't have a mythic ra'den đŚ
!coral
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.
eh
Going with the generic what ever sims best on nozoth aint bad
i need the ST coral usage mechanic
I just really liked the 3np when I saw chinese do it early on
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?
Ive gibbering maw, pauldrons of great convergence and fleshbeast cuirass
Ok so you have raden helm on
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
idk why Iâm asking these questions when Iâm playing outlaw on that fight anyways
heresy

@limber dew always with vendetta its in the pins
!stats
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.
which azerite powers should I pick for Tortured Fleshbeast Cuirass ?
is there anything gear wise I can do to push my dmg up? been simming 82+k now for a few weeks but now theres dudes in my raid simming 98k+ and Im feeling left out
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ivymRrSAt44LarEtvtoNkC
theyre not rogues
Theyâre DHs, BM hunters, and fire mages
yeah true, big feelsbadman
to be fair though, Im quite happy enough i can sim for that under 40 corruption without stars =p
83k 0 corr club
thats a club I'd like to join XD
i dont exactly know which azerite armors should i get for single target. Have any idea?
what ever sims ywell
@tropic ocean so on the pull i jsut use it
then moving forward consume on the vendettas
I get beaten in sims by other peoples alts at this point, and my sin sims arent even that low. Just rogue stuff
I get beaten by my own alt 
you probs sim more dps with disc priest at this point 
hey guys quick question đ does two "Nothing Personal" stacks or should i take only one of those?
nice, thanks a lot!
i couldnt understand of sims when choosing my bis gear for single target :/
@limber dew yea
@shut thistle Select the traits in the gear you have on raidbots, and have that decide for you whats bis for you
Pauldrons of the Great Convergence or Gorak Tul's Mantle would be better?

Gorak Tul's are a solid choice
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
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3zqXgfMGg4PeFQ8TckiV3W man this game is awful
Give me stat corruptions
thinks t3 475 IS is good

ur right its only BIS outside of m+ total dogshit


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
I like star to pad on useless boss
Imagine imagining
heyo guys
I feed my IS with expediant and gallecaller actually more consistent then tendies #feelcrafting
I have a bunch of pieces but it sims not great
ur the first one
the messiah
I got them early in the tier and wore them to fill corruption gap and they did just about as well as predicted
Which essences are good for raiding on assa ?
Condensed lifeforce, blood of the enemy, breath of the dying, vision of perfection (memes)
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.
I like playing around with 45% crit 20%haste 40% mastery.
But lets say for like wich azerite traits sync best with wich stats
not trying to be rude here
on st there are very few setups haste and crit aren't good for
but wtf are u asking
Theres no specific stat points you want to go for, you take your character and sim it with every single stat.
but just sim
u just sim urself
if you care enough to ask these questions you should probably sim
Its not some magic 8ball thing
