You just need TA8 man

#

Go big or go home

drifting cosmos
#

Ty!

fleet anchor
#

@lone junco this was from the other Rogue in our run last night

#

Casual 3m from only 3 procs which isn't even a good proc rate lol

#

Like he easily could have doubled that within the realm of decent possibility

tropic charm
#

For raiding and M+, primarily for the boss fights or for single target, which essences should I be using?

fleet anchor
#

Depending on your neck level for raiding you'll likely end up CLF/Breath/Blood major with Breath(if not major)/Lucid/Iris/CnS minors

#

Some niche usage of VoP

#

Depends pretty heavily on your other gear and neck level though

storm perch
#

What are best corruption pieces should I be aiming for when going for m+?

#

I feel like td doesn't work for me

#

Seems it requires a lot of haste?

fleet anchor
#

Largely it probably depends on what you have available

#

Like if you look at something like @marble hemlock's gear for M+ he runs a pretty decent mix of stuff, GW/TA/Severe/etc.

#

But like Corruption is pretty RNG so you usually have what you have ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Especially if you're starting out

marble hemlock
#

not by choice, i might add ๐Ÿ˜›

fleet anchor
#

Haha

marble hemlock
#

but having ~70% crit on average in a dungeon

#

feels good

fleet anchor
#

Hey, at the end of the day.. we all play the game to feel good right ๐Ÿ˜„

marble hemlock
#

well yeah

#

playing bosses with 80+% crit

#

and getting multiple 4CP mutilates in a row

#

just feels good, and its nice for TB windows too

#

getting 4envenom TB windows pretty consistently etc.

#

and it makes EB better on lower-target pulls

#

cause even on a 5mob pull you still get 4echoes on average

fleet anchor
#

I do still mostly run M+ as Outlaw so do the standard Slappers+TD with a spattering of GW mixed in but it's different for everyone.

storm perch
#

Got some good corruption pieces like td/ta/expedient/crit etc. But can't find best combination. Ta is perfect but only on bosses, packs are destroyed by someone else-not me๐Ÿ˜ฉ

marble hemlock
#

TA is pretty decent on packs too actually

fleet anchor
#

But yeah if you're running EB Seli I can definitely see how like going towards Severe or Momentum would work well with that

marble hemlock
#

its not the biggest overall, but it always procs on your target, so its good prio damage as long as your target selection is good

#

im not a big fan of TD in general

#

just too inconsistent

fleet anchor
#

Yeah TA is not so bad on AoE as you might think if only because you don't "lose" value from it easily

#

Since it target swaps

#

When things die

marble hemlock
#

id personally run any combination of ta/gw/severe/strikethrough

fleet anchor
#

You lose like 1 tick when something dies

storm perch
#

What is go to major essence in m+?

marble hemlock
#

yeah, not just that, but if you prio like a matron and then cleave with echo/mouseover ruptures, you proc TA on the matron

storm perch
#

Still blood?

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

i really wanna try

fleet anchor
#

Yeah if you are using mouseovers it's pretty strong to target

marble hemlock
#

formless void someday ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

yoink lucid on st, bote or iris on aoe

#

go deeper stratagem

fleet anchor
#

haha just leech your party, I like it ๐Ÿ˜›

storm perch
#

Should I use eb azerite? How many and when?

marble hemlock
#

cause blood is really the only option that works on both aoe and st

#

its not because its supremely good for either

fleet anchor
#

I will say I love Breath to death especially as Outlaw but I could see how it would be awkward playing Assassination to keep up with the globals and other dot applications

marble hemlock
#

and when you run a high crit setup already, the bote will overcap you on bosses quite often

#

yeah, breath is just too much opportunity cost as assa on aoe

#

and i never liked the notion of sniping mobs that are gonna die within 2-3GCDs anyway

#

id rather fok one more time, hit the highst hp targets too, and not waste a GCD on a mob thats gonna be dead sooner already

#

its not really a GCD that saves time

fleet anchor
#

Well still good for funneling to since you do something like death into a <20 or >80 and get the buffed value on the top mob, plus finish it off

#

But I have a lot of practice with it on fights like N'zoth and whatnot, but it's an acquired skill

#

But I could see how EB setup is gonna be GCD saturated a lot

#

Also Breath really good on ST nowadays

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

i guess it depends a lot on timers as well

fleet anchor
#

Also really think CLF could make a bit of a comeback too

marble hemlock
#

if you get a 2nd or 3rd use etc.

fleet anchor
#

Starting to sneak back up there

marble hemlock
#

for assa i just like the vision+bote setup too much i think to ever give that up

fleet anchor
#

Actually pretty scary to think about CLF if they had never nerfed it

marble hemlock
#

since it frees up your CD usage so much to not delay vendetta/bote to your 2nd vanish

fleet anchor
#

It would be so ridiculous

tropic ocean
#

tents are bae

fleet anchor
#

Truly the most skillful of plays ๐Ÿ˜„

marble hemlock
#

instead using vanish on the last trashpack for cleave/aoe dps, and then have it back up for your 2nd bote/vendetta and get multiple bote/vendetta/vanish exsanguinates in there

#

and then have CDs back up again after boss is dead

tropic ocean
#

cant wait until I can equip t8 tent

marble hemlock
#

feels so much smoother than playing with 2min vendetta

tropic ocean
#

so I can do 50k dps or 90k

marble hemlock
#

go into arena

#

as a tentacle tamer

tropic ocean
#

im bad at arena

marble hemlock
#

either you proc, use smokebomb and win

#

or you dont

tropic ocean
#

i dropped from 2130 to 2k

fleet anchor
#

You don't have to be good at arena

tropic ocean
#

so i dont play anymore

fleet anchor
#

Your tentacles have to be good at arena

#

Step 1) Press Sap
Step 2) Press Kidney Shot
Step 3) Tentacles do 3m damage

#

ez

tropic ocean
#

๐Ÿ˜„

fleet anchor
#

Tentacles are really messed up lol

tropic ocean
#

think they should just lower the dmg

#

and increase the procrate

fleet anchor
#

Yes

tropic ocean
#

so its more "viable"

fleet anchor
#

The other option would be to make it so the pet despawns or refreshes

#

instead of multiples

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

or that they only proc on your target

#

and not on random nzoth with shield

fleet anchor
#

Right now B2B procs are too rewarding

#

I mean same goes for IS and TD, but IS at least is spread out more

#

TD and TA both have the "b2b procs delete things" problem

tropic ocean
#

yea

fleet anchor
#

Stat procs or whatever.. there's very little gain

#

b2b proc of Mastery proc? Ok gg?

#

You gained 2 extra seconds of the buff

marble hemlock
#

tentacles only proc on your target

#

its like legion poisonbomb

#

god i miss that

#

mouseover rupture a mob next to you, have target be 40y away, spawn bomb 40y away

#

good memes

fleet anchor
#

I had a pull the other night playing as Outlaw. I used one Sinister Strike + 1 white hit

#

SS proc'd Main Gauche

#

Main Gauche spawned Tendie

#

Melee swing proc TD

#

Melee swing proc Flames

#

Flames proc Tendie

#

SS proc TD

#

3.4m damage.. one button press. Winning.

#

4x 1 RPPM things in less than 1.5s from one button haha

#

absurd

marble hemlock
#

nice

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

member when rppm didnt reset on bosspull

#

those were good times

fleet anchor
#

I member

marble hemlock
#

always getting that pb and trinket proc in your opener

fleet anchor
#

That was so much more fun

marble hemlock
#

i liked that consistency

fleet anchor
#

Into Soul Cap

#

Into Ring

#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

But I actually do think RPPM always triggering on the pull was a lot nicer for executing openers

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

its also easier to balance imo

#

take into account the proc on pull and the big bloodlusted openers

#

when you balance boss hp

#

now its just too much RNG

#

i personally preferred the ICD trinkets we had in MoP the most though

#

being able to time deep insight BG with a trinket proc+AR+KS

#

by delaying insight for just 10-15seconds

#

felt nice to play around, and it was tuned just right to actually be a dps increase thats worth playing around, but not too big to be 100% required to perform well

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I agree

#

From one standpoint I get why they changed it but for the reasons you mentioned too I don't get it

#

Because I do think it makes their tuning job easier

#

In terms of encounter design and such

marble hemlock
#

i like being able to play a much more difficult version of my spec, and do like 5% more dmg

#

not enough for everyone to follow suit, but enough for it to make a difference

#

assa in particular right now needs a serious re-do of the scaling so multidotting for energy is actually a dps gain on singletarget again

#

or rather, a noticeable one

#

not just like 0.3% or smth

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I do not really like how the relative value of multi-dot has really fallen away

#

Honestly gives me "WoD Feral" vibes to some degree. Not quite that bad, but playing during that time period I identify with it

#

You do so much work to multi-DoT but the payoff isn't really there

#

Single button press AoE specs do more AoE

marble hemlock
#

yeah exactly

#

passive cleave is way more valuable than meticulously multidotting on 4 targets

#

weirdly enough, 3-4 target is where we're weakest compared to any other class with passive cleave

#

we start catching up on bigger pulls thanks to EB

#

but even with 3ss3hod, our 3target cleave is pathetic

fleet anchor
#

Yeah it's kinda bizarre the direction it has gone

marble hemlock
#

well, its not just us

fleet anchor
#

I suppose one could infer from a move towards more target-capped AoE that it could turn around

#

But we will see

#

All numbers in the end

marble hemlock
#

its every multidot class that got gutted after legion

#

whether its SP, boomy, affli or us

fleet anchor
#

I do feel like to some degree Assassination paid for ranged multi-DoT sins ๐Ÿ˜›

marble hemlock
#

i always found it curious

#

how well rupture scales in pvp

#

where its like 25-30% of your dmg if you maintain it on 2-3 targets

#

and then in pve its just a wet noodle and essentially just exists to generate energy for your builders

fleet anchor
#

yeah

marble hemlock
#

i hope they focus on that multidot aspect again for SL

fleet anchor
#

I mean part of that also that is strange is I don't think the Rupture trait was particularly interesting from a design perspective. Could have seen a world where perhaps Azerite made it more of a thing

marble hemlock
#

yeah

fleet anchor
#

But that didn't really happen

#

And DD pushed Mutilate hard

marble hemlock
#

id still prefer them just combining rupture and echoing blades

#

every ruptured target echoes on a fok

#

and not have it rely on crit

fleet anchor
#

Like DD totally warps the rotation towards generators instead of finishers it's kinda strange

marble hemlock
#

its the same with EB

#

on aoe ๐Ÿ˜„

#

not having a baseline aoe finisher that we couldve scaled through traits is just bad design imo

#

just make sectec/bladerush/ct baseline ><

fleet anchor
#

That's actually why people were always perplexed about some of the MA APL stuff

#

People would react to MA Vanish Mutilate/Envenom/Mutilate vs. Envenom/Mutilate/Envenom

#

And it's like

#

Well Mutilate really basically contributes as much

#

So it doesn't matter lol

marble hemlock
#

yeah

fleet anchor
#

Was literally almost exactly neutral

#

Which is crazy

marble hemlock
#

i really think the overall design of assa is very solid, and they shouldnt change it much at all

#

dynamic gameplay that flows between st and cleave/aoe

#

with different choices to be made, whether you wanna aoe more or st/prio more etc.

fleet anchor
#

It will be curious to see if FoK remains one of the few uncapped AoEs

#

Skeptical about that one

marble hemlock
#

its just the tuning being quite off when it comes to azerite traits benefitting builders way more than finishers

#

with no proper rupture trait, and ttk just being too weak mostly because its 1-point-bonus is just useless

fleet anchor
#

What a world it will be if FoK becomes the strongest AoE ๐Ÿคฃ

marble hemlock
#

like the 1sec longer duration on the buff on a crit is actually worth it ><

fleet anchor
#

Like the design goal is probably to be able to apply poisons

#

So likely will leave it wet noodle

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

i mean

#

if poisons are actually important again, thats good enough

fleet anchor
#

Although Hidden Blades is still a thing, which raises my eyebrows a little bit in theory lol

marble hemlock
#

but right now, every DoT component of this spec is tuned to barely deal any damage

#

whether its rupture, ct dot, garrote (w/o ss) or deadly poison

fleet anchor
#

Yeah it was definitely tuned heavily towards is just being an energy engine

marble hemlock
#

but it was the same for all other dot specs

#

sp was useless first tier

#

boomy dots are still way too weak, starfall is never worth using ever

#

and what is affli again?

#

we wouldve been bad too if we didnt have a saving grace in DD/EB

#

that barely made us viable next to other melee in the dps department

fleet anchor
#

EB certainly came out of left field for me lol

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

same

#

it also only really worked super well in that specific tier

#

for m+ i mean

#

the scaling with higher ilvl seems to lack behind other aoe traits from other classes

#

maybe that was on purpose due to it scaling somewhat exponentially with crit

fleet anchor
#

The launch day tuning was pretty hilarious

dusky moon
#

assassination is bad for AoE they say

slow helm
#

so i been simming and looking at guides but cant seem to find a "strait" answer, im a raider doing hc weekly soon hopefully mythic 465 atm when is nothing personal better than double dose? and if you run master assassin will you then ignore shrouded suffocation or still get 1 for the ekstra combo points? ๐Ÿ™‚

fleet anchor
#

@dusky moon The real meters Assassination wins at are "combat log entries per second"

#

When one button press does this

#

It's no small wonder the servers melt into a pile of goo

sterile ocean
#

thats to tiny

dark crag
#

Blizz should benchmark their servers with that

fleet anchor
#

And heaven forbid you press that same button on the trash pull before Hivemind

#

That basically lags the entire instance server for everyone ๐Ÿคฃ

dusky moon
#

@slow helm for a pure st you stack 3x DD 3xHoD and MA

slow helm
#

im gonna sound like a monkey now but "MA"?

fleet anchor
#

I would check but Subterfuge and MA honestly atm

slow helm
#

oh master assassin

fleet anchor
#

But yeah lol.. I just checked that trash pull when I was running EB.

#

19 FoK casts

dusky moon
#

but if you're not clearing mythic nya, then your gear choices will be limited

lone junco
#

@fleet anchor nice

dusky moon
#

since residuum gear has no HoD

fleet anchor
#

3587 damahe events

#

For 19. Casts.

#

lol

lone junco
#

@marble hemlock hi buddy

dusky moon
#

in that case NA or TtK may be in your arsenal

fleet anchor
#

Average 188 damage events per button press. Clearly nothing wrong. I don't see why Blizzard is trying to target cap things at all. ๐Ÿ˜„

slow helm
#

@dusky moon i clear mythic's but mainly raiding, but what bosses in ny'alotha would you run 3x DD and 3x HoD over something else? ๐Ÿ™‚

lone junco
#

the dog?

fleet anchor
#

I mean could also probably run something like 3x DD, 2x HoD, 1x NP or something too

#

Depends on what items you have available

lone junco
#

I dont prefer DD MA, but its my high. Simple to play though.

fleet anchor
#

HoD is pretty easy to substitute with Swirling Sands, Blightbourne Infusion, etc.

#

Depending on what you have available

#

But some combination of that type of thing

slow helm
#

chest 465 DD/NP and HoD/SS, shoulder EP/DD and SS/tradewinds, Helm TtK/NP and HoD/DD

#

all 465

#

im 27% crit 25% haste 46% mastery 4% vers

#

i know i need more haste but my damage for ilvl % just looks rly low for alot of the bosses in logs

dusky moon
#

compare yourself to yourself

#

no point of comparing vs ilvl because it is just ridiculous nowadays

lone junco
#

and also, you can use the compare tool. it takes into account boss kill time, ilvl, and raid count (heroic).

granted the top performers will have lucky azerite. but you might find someone similar. for rotation comparison

dusky moon
#

people run with ridiculous corruption levels to get top 0.01% parse

slow helm
#

ye okay understandable my corruption are meh got 2 gushing wounds, 1 strikethrough rank 2, twisted apendage 2, 1 deadly momentum 1

#

so for raiding azerite traits i would pretty much go DD outer and HoD inner always? or wil NP and HoD be stronger if you have 3 of each? when running MA

strange python
#

2 gw is not meh

dusky moon
#

i have no suggestions, i don't raid mythic, so all my azerite is vendor 480 with every possible thing

red bloom
#

I would kill the hunters in my raid if I could get your 2 GWs

dusky moon
#

np/ss, np/dd, dd/ttk + subteruge

slow helm
#

simming it gets me this as top result

red bloom
#

For deciding between subterfuge and MA, you really have to sim them, your gear will tell you (through simming) what would be optimal to run

strange python
#

if you want help with simming, link a top gear sim

slow helm
#

the whole thing from copy?

strange python
#

the results of a top gear sim from raidbots

slow helm
#

oh thought you wanted the copy thing to setup a bigger more clean sim with some of the other items i have aswell like rank 3 infinite star 420 pants xD

slim oxide
#

hey guys its my first 3 days on rogue. im half way there with my essences but the traits are a pain in the ass

strange python
#

lmao i give up

slow helm
#

you said the "results of a top gear sim from raidbots" thats the results, or am i wrong about that?

quasi scroll
#

Do you guys play assassin in solo HV?

#

Whenever I vanish on a boss it resets

dusky moon
#

@slow helm url maybe

#

not a screenshot

red bloom
#

The link @slow helm , the link

slow helm
slim oxide
#

missing a trait that you really need

#

same as me ><

#

one garrote would be beter

dusky moon
#

@slow helm you have sub talent instead of MA in that sim

slow helm
#

its rolled with both MA and sub if you check second highest sim it shows MA ๐Ÿ™‚

strange python
#

and get bote or clf

#

and a coral

slow helm
#

ye havnt rly grinded essence on this char yet i just got back to the game 1 month ago ๐Ÿ™‚

strange python
#

if you dont wanna play vop major, for 100 dps less and less rng there's a wv major one you could play aswell (0 allies)

lean marten
raven mica
#

it has 50% uptime on a tank

dusky moon
#

cleanse trash

raven mica
#

and way less on a DPS

#

btw im fucking jelly

strange python
#

that was discussed yesterday i think

raven mica
#

bis outlaw ring

strange python
#

or the day before

slow helm
#

oh btw strikethrough good or meh on assa?

#

i thought it was kinda strong since you want a nice amount of crit on assa

naive vigil
#

what is better herorotation or heliki

strange python
#

learning to play

naive vigil
#

hmmmm seems legit

slow helm
#

@strange python last question quickly the one you sent has sub but no SS is MA not stronger at that point? ๐Ÿ™‚

strange python
#

well no

#

but i didnt check for ma/subt so maybe

#

could be since you dont have bote

slow helm
#

its 228 dps difference

#

so guess it doesnt rly matter much

slow helm
#

think ima do MA then feels better when pre poting ๐Ÿ™‚

lean marten
slow helm
#

thx alot for the help @strange python ๐Ÿ™‚

strange python
#

np

harsh sphinx

fleet anchor
#

@naive vigil HeroRotation is maintained by Rogue mains so likely would have better results with it

strange python
#

afaik hekili uses the apl which means its also maintained by rogues no? :P

fleet anchor
#

Indirectly sure, but there's some custom tweaking about how some of the things interact that helps make things click for usability

#

I can't really vouch for what it does though. I might be curious to compare them at some point if I get some free time waiting for alpha ๐Ÿ˜„

kind vault
#

Are there any ways to reduce corruption other than the cloak? I got a good armor piece that adds like 7k dps but I canโ€™t use it Bc it gives me +75 corruption :/

#

My cloak is currently rank 5 btw

naive vigil
#

what does pool mean in herorotation

#

is that max energy?

limpid quest
#

question? whats the lowest percent your haste should be?
41 crit, 17 haste, 39 mastery... my attributes, feel like haste should be higher any advice?

fleet anchor
#

@naive vigil Means to just wait

#

Until something else pops. Usually it's pre-Toxic Blade pooling

naive vigil
#

thank you i've been using heliki but it didnt really involve pooling

naive vigil
#

i feel like as a fresh 120 sin pools alot

#

but ig i can turn off pooling

fleet anchor
#

Until you get Lucid and higher haste levels it's pretty expected to be really low APM as Assassination. Even with max gear it's pretty low APM.

naive vigil
#

alright what rogue lingo do i need to know like apm

#

what is apm

fleet anchor
#

actions per minute

#

Assassination is very slow ๐Ÿ˜›

naive vigil
#

could be worse Lol

#

i mean it feels like ret without wings

fleet anchor
#

You can expect to probably spend at least a quarter of the time doing nothing

#

More if you don't have Lucid yet

naive vigil
#

well i have rank 3 of all the essences on my pally besides the ripple so all i need to do is get echos

vital wind
#

i just hit max, what essences should i start farming for?

lone junco
#

@naive vigil when learning sin, remember that mashing mutilate/env isn't really your damage.

That's why there is pooling. If rupture is almost pandemic. Or if TB is almost ready or if vendetta/vanish are almost back around. There isn't a huge value in being energy low. Maintaining bleeds and using stuff when it's ready is key.

vital haven
#

@vital wind in no particular order: blood, lucid, breath, vop, c&s, iris, clf, wv

#

obviously you should always get with echoes the ones that are the hardest to get

#

like blood, lucid etc

vital wind
#

MKAY

#

sry caps

#

do i eventually need to get all of them or can i just get any 3

#

4*

drifting cosmos
#

All of them to swap in different boss /situations

versed mica
#

lucid is probably the one you should go for first

#

it makes the spec feel better and is almost a requirement for a minor trait

bronze cipher
#

hey all just hit 120 and im wondering what weapon enchants/ring enchants are best for Sin rogue

storm storm
#

you should sim your char to have the most precise answer to that but normally crit should work just fine

bronze cipher
#

kk ty ill look up how to sim now

plucky shadow
#

Hello! Does anyone have a mythic raid guide for maiximizing dps as assa?

naive vigil
#

Your not gonna like the answer

#

You got 2 options pretty much warcraft logs and siming

#

Siming is for trying to get a idea for how much dps you can achieve with different paramiters set like gear and talents and essences to get the maximum amount of damage you can do

tropic ocean
#

Just blast bosses

#

And you have done your job

naive vigil
#

Ig that works too lol

balmy coral
#

You guys got any tips for n'zoth encounter? I seem to parse much lower on that fight compared to other bosses

steep obsidian
#

cooldown the pychus and tell the priest to grip the mage during his combust

crystal vault
balmy coral
#

It's on hc though, only just joined a 5/12 mythic guild :b

arctic walrus
#

Kill the boss quick, cd psychus, go insane at the end, stack corruption and get lucky

balmy coral
#

Alright, thanks x)

dusky moon
#

i mean, if you want a crazy parse on NZoth, stack 7x gushing wounds

steep obsidian
#

sif that corruption exists

#

well i do have one of them im wearing

#

but meh

dusky moon
#

or tendies

balmy coral
#

The only gushing wounds I have is my love life

dusky moon
#

same as with other bosses - if you can aoe, stack td for crazy parse, if it is pure st, stack infinite stars

brave crypt
#

i find that breath of the dying major is really good for killing the tentacles etc while not sacrificing too much single target \o/

dusky moon
#

you can try sniping, but most of that would be wasted overkill dps

fathom swift
#

if you're trying to parse it's fine

#

overkill dps doesnt matter if thats your goal

brave crypt
#

Hi, i just got razor coral and have a couple of questions, should I use it before toxic blade window, on cooldown or hold it for higher stacks for vendetta/bote windows? cheers

scarlet sequoia

tropic ocean
#

NoobiesToday at 12:42 PM
i mean, if you want a crazy parse on NZoth, stack 7x gushing wounds

#

if you want a good parse on nzoth

#

cd first psychus

#

cd psychus inside

#

and go mc in the end

#

thats all

#

oh and use 2nd pot on psychus too

storm storm
#

Hi guys, do think vision of perfection is a good choice for this week, i am mostly playing aroud +14 keys

tropic ocean
#

as minor its basically always a set choice

#

as major not so

storm storm
#

dungeon slice sims are not effected by weekly affixes, are they ?

fathom swift
#

how would they be?

tropic ocean
#

no they are not

#

and dungeon slice is not really good to sim for assa too

fathom swift
#

it would have 0 impact on them anyway

tropic ocean
#

well if it was realistic it would

#

but not sure if you can even do that without super good ai

fathom swift
#

like what does mobs bursting or necrotic even matter to your damage

tropic ocean
#

??

#

different affixes either make the dungeon slower or faster

dusky moon
#

@tropic ocean too complicated lol

tropic ocean
#

damn well u gonna time a boralus this week faster

fathom swift
#

dungeon slice doesn't sim actual dungeons

tropic ocean
#

than on bolstering

you doing a dungeon faster or slower on live has 0 impact on how the dungeon slice sim works

storm storm
#

what would you recommend as a dungeon sim ? hectic add cleave maybe ?

tropic ocean
#

for aoe

#

5-6 mobs 40 sec to 1min or 1.30

#

rest doesnt really matter

fathom swift
#

if you're trying to sim dungeons hac is worse cause you dont get any restealths

#

dungeon slice isnt that bad

tropic ocean
#

it is

#

super bad

fathom swift
#

idk about super bad

storm storm
#

so simply patchwork, with 5-6 bosses and for a short time ?

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

increase/lower time depending on what key you do

storm storm
#

okay ty

scarlet sequoia
#

dont forget to disable drums and stuff

tropic ocean
#

like obviously you'll fight a trash pack longer in a 20 than in a 13

dusky moon
#

tried the suggestion... lol

#

i guess should check off drums

#

but yeah, that's about right for the 1st pull in freehold

strange python
#

hey guys

#

best azerite setup for assa in tyranical weeks ?

#

for dungeon like workshop for example

tropic ocean
#

3 ss

#

hod

strange python
#

so 3 ss 1 hod & 2 envenom ?

#

and what stats u want to prioritize ?

#

for a st oriented dungeon

tropic ocean
#

crit mastery vers

#

and nah 3 ss 3 hod better than 2 envenom for sure

strange python
#

i have currently 3 ss 1 clockwork 1 ttk 1 nothing

inland gull
#

i dont think generally giving up all aoe is worth it for the whole run though

tropic ocean
#

hod is not giving up aoe

dusky moon
#

always keep 1 eb

tropic ocean
#

its a generic trait

#

and in workshop as prime example

#

theres barely any aoe

#

but mostly 3-4 target cleave

inland gull
#

in like kr ws st all good, but still others

atomic willow
#

i feel like 1 eb is meh....2+ or none

inland gull
#

for ws kr i do 3ss 1eb 1hod 1ttk

tropic ocean
#

in ws or kr with 3 ss 3 hod

#

you'll most likely top the meter

#

anyway

inland gull
#

i dont have much to choose from though

#

my gear changes on shoulder xd ss eb or ss ttk

#

the vendor hates me

#

i got same chest 5 times in row

#

spymaster wrap

#

do vision give ss hod piece?

#

i could get 480 there

tropic ocean
#

idk

#

does vision even give 480 azerite?

#

u get 3 ss 3 hod from raid for sure

#

in ilgynoth/raden/carapace

strange python
#

and for trinkets

#

in workshop , what would u run ?

tropic ocean

civic hatch
#

is botd any good in m+? simming about 2700dps more than bote for me in dungeonslice

dusky moon
#

if you snipe with botd, it is good dps gain

#

but kinda silly

#

i've seen it critting 450k

shut bone
#

I really enjoy BOTD . but yeah it doesnt really feeel like a rogue ability

vast forum
#

it's stolen dps, in reality, if a mob is low enough to get sniped by breath, it's low enough to die to passive cleave while hitting higher hp targets

civic hatch
#

ye thats true

shut bone
#

the main reason I am using it now it because it is simming ST better than the other traits.

#

I am not maxxed out tho.

vast forum
#

you run it in m+ because it sims better in ST?

shut bone
#

no no.

#

just saying the reason it is equipped at the minute

marble hemlock
#

Assa is also GCD capped on AoE, so every GCD you use on Breath, is a GCD not used on fok/envenom

glacial steppe
#

do I still want to go crit/mastery this week? especially asking for dungeons like kings rest or temple

marble hemlock
#

yes

glacial steppe
#

even tho its just light cleave and no real aoe? always thought the crit/mastery build is an aoe thingy

vast forum
#

haste loses value in anything over 1 target cuz energy is no longer an issue

#

crit and mastery are better than haste for some people even in ST

#

so it's just even more important in aoe

glacial steppe
#

hm, okay, makes sense

#

just thought that maybe my haste stacking exsang build i play in raids could be good on tyrannical dungeons with light cleave and big bosses

#

cus i also have 3x t3 expedient to play around with

tardy nimbus
#

i would switch to assa for keys but got shit azerite for it

#

not even one Head or Chest piece with EB

glacial steppe
#

I like to play KR, Temple and Shrine as Assa

tardy nimbus
#

same i just go 3xSS

#

Shrine i still go Outlaw tho

glacial steppe
#

I dont have EB either

#

Usually going with 3x SS, 2x HoD, 1x BB

tardy nimbus

i switched to much tho 40k for reforge peophammer

what is BB?

Hey guys, i got a NPx3 and DDx3, is there anyway i can stack haste to get more of the DD procs or would mastrey be better to apply the poisions? i simmed and simmed and also i have curruption with ineffable truth that would help Vendetta recover faster abnd since im running 3 of the NP i would think that it would help. but again i dont think sim is taking that inf or acount any insight? dms are open for conversation with people running same setup or close to it

tacit steppe
#

Why do you think the sims donโ€™t count it? Like what are you basing that on?

#

You can go in and look at the sample to see if it is

#

But it sounds more like you have something you want to be good and isnโ€™t and youโ€™re looking for a confirmation bias that sims r busted

tardy nimbus
#

What's BiS corruption for VoP build?

tacit steppe
#

Idk, masterful? peeposhrug

tardy nimbus
#

Got TA,Gushing,Haste%,Crit%,Mastery proc

#

so haste is poop?

tacit steppe
#

With vop a big big portion is coming from np

#

I wouldnโ€™t say haste is poop

#

But iirc when i was running it mastery shit is what simmed the best

#

But i donโ€™t run it anymore so couldnโ€™t tell ya for sure

tardy nimbus
#

Don't think i have enough mastery corruption to run it

#

gonna try sim it tho

tacit steppe
#

Itโ€™s fun when you get omega procs but feels bad if you swap to an add that lives for like 20 seconds and it procs the last 5 peeporeallysad

yh that doesn't sound fun ๐Ÿ˜‚

is anyone using focused resolve over unbridled regularly?

for st

#

obv

restive coral
#

If you play the SS exsang build

steep obsidian
#

it sims like 100 dps more for me without even playing that and i see a few logs using it on wcl too

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

i guess its just per encounter tbh

scarlet sequoia
#

its pretty good

#

more than 400 dps ahead of unbridled for me

vast forum
#

yea when you play with SS exsang, it should be insane

restive coral
#

Thatโ€™s what I said

vast forum
#

first few abilities are just setting up for burst, and the crit stacks up by then

steep obsidian
#

yah

#

i was just curious obviously i can do my own sims and look at shit

#

most of the top logs are still using unbridled on wcl and none of them are running ss that i saw although they running subt

which makes sense

mossy sable
#

Anyone have tips for running Sin in M+?

#

I have 3 EB traits rn

sullen pagoda
#

yea im not playing clf

lone junco
#

@mossy sable 3 garrotes and a rupture at the open, then fok env into the big mobs. Maintaining 4 bleeds. That's about it. Don't need to garrote after the stealth unless you vanish ggg again.

#

Run as much crit and as little haste as you can.

mossy sable
#

What if you don't have shrouded traits?

rigid mango
#

You don't play sin in m+

mossy sable
#

You can it's just not recomended

rigid mango
#

It's just abhorrent

#

Yeah

#

Just don't play it

mossy sable
#

Thanks for the advice

#

Anyways i'll try that out then @lone junco

#

The main reason I am doing this is beacuse Outlaw doesn't have stable enough numbers (Could just be my fault) for raiding and I am not doing good at learning both at the same time

rigid mango
#

If you're playing 3 EB no SS Sin you're not gonna be learning much of what it does in raid

mossy sable
#

I don't run 3 EB for raiding

#

I have 2 sets for sin

#

One has 3 EB, one has ST stuff

rigid mango
#

SS is better than EB

mossy sable
#

For M+?

rigid mango
#

yes

#

I'd rather play 0 EB than 0 SS

#

By far

#

I would, like I said, not play sin if you're playing 0 SS in m+

#

It's really bad ๐Ÿ˜„

mossy sable
#

I just don't like the playstyle

rigid mango
#

Sure, doesn't make it better though.

mossy sable
#

In that case I should go to the Law group and ask how to attempt to stabilize my numbers for raiding

#

I never said it was better

#

II just asked for some advice to playing it and you said don't

rigid mango
#

If you're able to play outlaw or 0 SS sin, you play outlaw

#

If those are your two choices

mossy sable
#

Ok but like I said before

#

My issue is I am not able to learn both specs

#

Like well

#

I have "Learned" them

#

But by splitting my time I don't learn them very well

rigid mango
#

Yeah so play outlaw for m+ and sin for raiding, or just go hit a dummy for 30 min as assa and learn or do a hc clear link me the logs and I'll tell you what's wrong

#

Assa in m+, especially just 3 EB, isn't comparble to raid assa

#

You're not really learning raid assa if you're playing it, if anything you're getting into bad habits of Fok'ing all the time

mossy sable
#

Well thanks for the advice

#

Have a great day

rigid mango
#

If you want to learn how to play m+ assa play with SS' or you're essentially gutting the spec

#

Or if you wanna learn raid sin hit a dummy/raid

#

Outlaw plays give or take the same in both raids and m+ ๐Ÿ™‚

But yeah you generally want to try to get Vendetta on cooldown as soon as your bleeds are up. You will get full coverage on all your other cooldowns/trinkets/whatever anyway and generally it helps with the energy regen during your opener, especially if you have NP.

#

I see people not using mastery now for m+ as assassin

strange python

should i run conflict or vision in m + ?

tropic ocean

vision is more versatile

and lets u get 2x vendetta on most bosses even in not so high keys

strange python
#

it scale good with blood y

little sandal
#

If they run EB just stack ver and crit?

tropic ocean
#

for max overall/aoe yes

#

mastery is not bad though because you dont always pull high mob counts

#

and garrote is nevertheless your highest source of dmg in a key

wet ruin
#

can you see what debuffs does the fluffy pillow have in sims at any point and their duration, specifically bleeds, couldn't find it in the html report

crimson palm
#

Noticed in sims with SS and Subt, it's doing Gar Mut Gar on first vanish. Is that 1 additional tick of garrote worth more than the CPs that are being wasted?

shy dust
#

Yes

wet ruin
#

I believe there was something about using garrote as the last spell during subterfuge (so 3rd spell) that made it better, but I really doubt that garrote->mutilate->garrote is the optimal play

fleet anchor
#

Yes

drifting cosmos
#

Isn't that like 5 sec worth of tick? For gar mut gar opening? And if you have 3ss

fleet anchor
#

Definitely worth it over the CP waste

drifting cosmos
#

That's a lot of dmg

fleet anchor
#

I mean you won't have access to those CPs after Subterfuge anyway

#

So they aren't really wasted

#

Either way, an extra SS tick is worth more than a couple CPs

#

Ideally you Mutilate->Vanish->Garrote->Envenom->Garrote but Garrote->Mutilate->Garrote is fine too and better than delaying Vanish

#

Just take what is available at the time

wet ruin
#

is there a reason the apl keeps doing double garrotes in the vanish windows after the first vanish

#

is it just the cp?

fleet anchor
#

Yeah depends a bit on the CPs and situation. Would have to look at what exactly the situation is.

wet ruin
#

it seems its only doing g-mut-g

#

I assume it does the first g then sees you are not at 4+ so does a mut and then sees you are at the last second of subt, so it does a garrote

fleet anchor
#

Yes at that CP situation most likely

#

That was part of the changes I had made a few weeks ago when I adjusted it double Garrote instead of single

wet ruin
#

yea, but is it better to double garrote, instead of one garrote at the end, at the proper time

#

what I mean by that is when its close to getting into pandemic you can vanish and use garrote as the 3rd spell

#

extending it to full duration

scarlet sequoia
#

should always aim to vanish with 2+ cp points if playing the deeper exsang ss build

#

then u just do g finisher g

fleet anchor
#

That is something I had looked at in terms of like.. just utilizing the last global of Subterfuge

#

And it was pretty much neutral

wet ruin
#

I see

fleet anchor
#

So I didn't bother doing it because I think it's a really risky way to play it out too

wet ruin
#

but yea, in every real scenario you wont do garrote-mut-garrote

fleet anchor
#

Also generalized it's somewhat poor since it would need to be different for multi-target

Probably it all depends of other people gear. After getting Infinite Stars piece my Vita 460 is stronger than 445 ilvl Azshara's trinket.

Its also just really not enjoyable to play

here u go

copy that into your simc

aight, I'll check with r3 - so sim/recommendation difference just comes down to how the value of the essence is calculated (major + minor)?

you need to read up on some basic assassination guides cus theres too much missing and maybe look at your keybinds in stealth or something.

#

vop is decent

#

depending on what your job is you either blast vendetta tents

#

or use vendetta on boss whenever u pick orb

red bloom
#

right on, Ill have a chat with my RL and see what I'm to be doing then

scarlet sequoia
#

doubt you vendetta adds anymore on drest with the nerf

#

just go vop minor and vendetta boss with every buff

red bloom
#

with vop minor, would going 3xDD 2xNP and a HoD suit better than the 3x NP 2x DD then?

strange python
#

i read somewhere that is isnt that bad on ilgynoth cause the stacks remain on the main target is that true or is it pure garbage?

scarlet sequoia
#

well considering u have 30 seconds to pump every minute ยฝ

#

3 np is prolly better

red bloom
#

ah niceone, cheers

glacial steppe
#

plumage is the same as your pvp trinket, isnt it @scarlet sequoia

scarlet sequoia

Good system btw

#

most guides tell me to line up vendetta+vanish, but if i follow their opener my 2nd vanish is like 15 seconds behind my 2nd vendetta? should i just wait with popping vendetta to pair it with vanish?

strange python
#

if they tell you to line it up what do u think the answer is? :P

I've been playing Outlaw (first rogue experience) and want to try Assasination. My barrier has been weapons, any tips on some decent daggers? I currently have crafted

vital wind
#

hey is the simming for the trait - twist the knife - broken?

#

its simming as better than double dose even though i already have a copy of twist the knife

arctic walrus
#

Do m+ of dungeons that drop daggers

#

You can link the sim because thereโ€™s a lot of factors that can go into one trait simming better than another

vital wind
#

I just wasnโ€™t sure if the sim knew what did and didnโ€™t stack. But from your answer it seems that itโ€™s working as intended so I know I can trust the sim

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

ripe star
#

Good afternoon to all

strange python
#

dang yo vop major feels great

vital wind
#

I still have a hunch that this sim is wrong as I really don't think twist the blade should be simming over double dose

patent topaz
#

with those talents and gear it is

#

thing is you are simming the DD piece with hod and you dont have 25 corr

#

probably running MP as well

vital wind
#

yea i'm running MP

#

I was about to resim it with Elaborate Planning since i think I should be running that talent instead

arctic walrus
#

yeah you should be

#

and mfd is shit

#

and spark of inspiration is shit

vital wind
#

whats mfd?

#

oh mark

#

thanks a ton for the help on that!

vagrant raven
#

hey guys im new to assassination rogue, could you look at my setup and let me know what i could change?

patent topaz
#

get more gear

#

and essences

rigid mango
#

Just get stuff that doesn't suck, essentially

#

Your char is obv new/fresh so it's not shocking

#

But r3 essences, coral + vita trinkets, mechagon set for rings and just actually high ilvl pieces esp daggers and azerite that have decent traits

#

i.e do the raid

vagrant raven
#

what essences should i focus on the most?

#

i mostly pug the raid

vestal wren
#

depends on who you ask

#

a lot of people would use blood over everything else in major slot

royal lantern
#

blood/vop/breath are all3 played

rigid mango
#

Lucid and breath should always be used

#

Strife is just usable everywhere, same for blood

#

Breath might even be better as major, same as vop in some scenarios but they both require you to think a bit more buildwise/playwise

magic thorn
patent topaz
#

with triple EB probably more st focused corruptions

rigid mango
#

Depends kinda what you want, TD should give you higher overall afaik.

#

But severe will help more with ST

alpine widget
#

Hey guys what would be the best choice for a dungeon to buy a +15 boost for as a pretty much fresh rogue?

rigid mango
#

Probably even prio? Idk

#

uhh, anything with a dagger

#

FH is pretty dope, dice is nice too.

magic thorn
#

Kingsrest also has dagger+trinket

rigid mango
#

UR has crit mast dagger, TD has crit haste dagger

#

Ye but who uses that trink when coral is a thing duckoWhy

#

Spyglass is obv good but dagger is absolute prio

magic thorn
#

coral as new rogue ๐Ÿ˜„

fleet whale
#

not like it's hard to play with

rigid mango
#

Ye but if u don't care about optimising then u don't care about what dungeon

#

not like what's hard to play with?

fleet whale
#

coral

rancid bobcat
#

he prob means trying to get it as a new rogue, not that it's hard to play

rigid mango
#

^

magic thorn
#

ye

rancid bobcat
#

prob not getting into an ep run unless leader isn't looking at all

fleet whale
#

could lfr it

rancid bobcat
#

you need a mythic version

rigid mango
#

Not like it's hard to make your own run, buy a boost for it or just get it when you have some baseline gear

rancid bobcat
#

someone linked a sim above and their heroic socketed was beat out by a plumage

fleet whale
#

my 430 version of the trinket is still really good

rigid mango
#

If you want gear that'll probably be worth for a while then you should just prio daggers and dice/spgylass

#

Everything else is corruption dependant really

#

Ofc dagger is too but getting one at 465 if you don't is giga prio

magic thorn
#

btw is masterful ever worth it for rogue or can i just freely purge it ? like we cant profit much

strange python
#

its worth stacking Nothing Personal?

rigid mango
#

Masterful is fine

#

And for NP just sim it

fleet whale
#

is masterful the proc mastery one

rigid mango
#

Depends on what it's up against

fleet whale
#

or the one that increases mastery value

rigid mango
#

no it's flat % mastery

#

Honed mind is the proc

fleet whale
#

yeah, i have a piece with honed mind on it, it procs a fair amount

strange python
#

I mean, does the energy regen stacks?

rigid mango
#

Masterful is fine, but nothing amazing, can be really nice to slot in as a low corr item to fit certain budgets

strange python
#

or just the damage?

rigid mango
#

No

#

Just the damage

strange python
#

thanks!

rigid mango
#

Effects don't stack

#

damage always does

magic thorn
#

well i never have more then like 1k mastery, i dont think i can use it much then

rigid mango
#

I mean that's not really the point

#

It's more just like, unless you have something similar that's better that can easily slot into budgets

#

To get you to stuff like 59 or 39

#

It's a fine corruption to use to get there

#

I want to get them to make a KR set full of just mastery

#

3 SS HoD with masterful stack sounds funny.

#

But yeah unless you have a bunch of other low corr items that can do the same thing and the piece the masterful is on is an upgrade worth purifying for, I personally wouldn't cleanse it but that's just me.

rancid bobcat
#

Yeah just always hodl your corruptions

fleet whale
#

unless if it's some total garbage trait

rigid mango
#

The only thing I've purged is the 5 ineffable truths I've gotten from weekly chests ๐Ÿ™‚

rancid bobcat
#

I mean, aside from bad ones yeah

fleet whale
#

i actually am keeping my leech pieces though just for the lols

rancid bobcat
#

I was running out of space so I dumped my void rituals though

patent topaz
#

I use versatile 3 in my >40 set for example. Nothing else I can put in

rancid bobcat
#

I got a fair amount of versatile sitting around, feels kinda bad

magic thorn
#

ineffable truth is bis ๐Ÿ˜„ get em in arena with the perma vendetta XD

fleet whale
#

for pvp i feel you want the verse ones

rigid mango
#

PvP WeirdChampion

fleet whale
#

so why is lash of the void impossible to get for assassination, does it only proc on certain weapons

rigid mango
#

Yes, just the FW from raden.

rancid bobcat
#

You could try the folly meme

#

Offhand claw for m+

magic thorn
#

So i just did a few quicksims, and the dmg im losing/gaining with twilight compares to the extra dmg from my other abilites, so if i want more consistend dmg or more focus dmg on lets say my empowered garrotes i should stick with the crit/severe build. Did i understand it right ?

rigid mango
#

I mean you're relying on crits instead of procs

#

The thing with TD and assa is that we obv don't stack haste for m+ so it's not as good for us as it is other classes, like dh.

#

I personally am not a fan of TD and I'd rather play the stat build than TD but it does work.

fleet whale
#

does any raid actually have someone using spark of inspiration?

rigid mango
#

Dunno.

magic thorn
#

ok gucci. im doing all this because i farmed 4 sockets this week and im super unsure where to put em in

rancid bobcat
#

Probably not

#

Spark is one of those something interesting but not actually used

fleet whale
#

could be fun if someone in your group used it and you used a buffed breath

patent topaz
#

I just put sockets in my raiding gear because im doing lower keys than my gear can do anyway

magic thorn
#

Not raiding anymore. the only time i raid is when zine needs rogue traders for vip buyers XD and then i dont really care because im still decent

patent topaz
#

general rule of thumb is to socket gear you wont replace soon and use in a lot of gear sets

fleet whale
#

i wish assassination had a busted trait like Furious gaze

rigid mango
#

I would never do such a thing MonkaSub

strange python
#

if u play no dispell at ilgynoth can u still cloak or will the raid wipe?

scarlet sequoia
#

the raid will wipe

#

dont cloak

strange python
#

ty some1 else said if u have to cloak do it when the circle is small

peak yarrow
#

anyone have a link to a good assa elvui/wa?

scarlet sequoia
#

yeah u can do that @strange python

#

but then u lose the buff and u can get mc'd

strange python
#

aight thank you!
