youre too biased
im curious here okay
And the clown show goes on
demo in a movement fight 

demo in a movement fight 
i mean these guys seem to do well with it?
good stuff
that can AFFORD to play demo
we can look at 95 as well
in any case
im just curious why demo is an exception here
cuz much movement
it has 15 logs
Out of how many demo that have killed it?
17 parses 
does the parse total effect power level?
yes
if youre actually, genuinely, curious, here it goes: nzoth is equal parts cleave (not melee cleave however, because corrupter spawns are random and rarely in melee-range) and destro utterly smacks at that. theyre also really good psychus carries, and do solid enough ST
ofc lol
I guess survival is the best spec on carapace
I mean, I just don't understand this "afford playing Outlaw"
1039 Outlaw parses vs. 651 Assassination parses. Pretty clear those aren't all sandbagging. There are plenty of reasons to play both specs? π
https://gyazo.com/8ce60617ad91cf5019ff9e783e4a9aa5 THEY ARE SO CLOSE, YOU CAN JUST SWAP OUT YOUR DESTRO FOR A SUB ROGUE 
Does the DPS check even matter at this point anymore though.
yes
Especially for guilds just starting prog now
Are we time travelers?
yes
for guilds progressing, which is what we're talking about? yes.
Like weβre gonna gain even more corruption resistance
guilds that are progressing now, will struggle with the same issues that guilds did 2months ago.
clearly for those guilds it matters because if they were good enough they would have killed the boss by now
And the check is just going to get easier and easier.
which is, largely, boss-dmg and tentacle cleave
Ok so we only care about WF guilds, in the US, with worse gear, and different tuning, and different corruptions, and different boss HP? I don't understand.
no?
no, we dont koji. we care about guilds progressing the fight.
hi is this discord moderated by dev company or independent?
LOL
moderated by biggest chads in wow
guilds that still need to figure out dps assignments, movement, positioning etc.
I don't think that's really true at all. Outlaw was used on tons of CN/KR first kills...
moderated by biggest chads in wow
@vast forum and zine
One of the big reasons more outlaw than assa have nzoth parses is chinese & korean guilds disproportionately public log, and they also disproportionately play outlaw
so? they didnt play efficiently as they have could?
i remember the last time CN/KR were competitive
CN/KR are also like all outlaw one tricks
so does he
and asians are playing outlaw all day
why do CN/KR love to play outlaw?
he only got mod because while he was raiding with me he had ~20k messages in this discord over the course of 13 minutes
I played outlaw on mekkatorque...
am i wrong tho @rigid mango ?
it seems weirdly inconsistent to me the reasoning at least
Not entirely.
yeah same
in what sense guy?
Ok, so their prog kills aren't real?
yes they are
but they just play outlaw all the time
no matter if its better
or worse
they like it 
eu/us guilds play whats good on progress
destro absolutely destroys tentacles, so its better to bring over demo which only does st well, in addition to being heavily stationary on a fight that is incredibly harsh on classes like that.
I do not remember this at all.
well we said earlier that demo is bad when it does better boss damage because "turret spec" but it seems these people are doing fine with it, but then the fact that there are less demo logs invalidates it, but sin having less logs than outlaw doesnt, but then there is a justification why outlaw has more parses and its because china?
tbf id take eastern outlaws over western sin players
They played sin on orgo
can any reason for outlaw vs sin not be extended to demo vs destro?
I distinctly remember both my guild and the other rogues I knew played sin.
15 parses is very relevant data π
i mean, my argument for more outlaw rogues is that most public logs are not from guilds progressing or having killed the boss recently, but guilds having killed the boss. im fairly certain that when we progressed the boss assa had a huge edge over outlaw in terms of logs available on the boss

looks outlaw to me
lol Ausr, I think that is a ridiculous argument that somehow the US/EU are god gamers compared to CN/KR or something.
WF maybe.
not god gamers
thats fair i guess
at this point youre comparing farmlogs, not logs of guilds that have 1-2kills under their belt. that skews the data for sure
I already addressed this above though but got out-scrolled,
Assassination will be played more because most Rogues played Assassination on every boss this tier and a lot of people are one-tricks. That's the real reason. Which people say as the reason that CN/KR guilds all run Outlaw. So it should be pretty obvious that preference plays more of a part than tuning. π
Talking about raiders around my level to maybe up to the back end of HOF raiders
https://gyazo.com/3d022f670d6b0f9819b3e638381b7b66 method plays outlaw when it's good
how much/in a meaningful way? i dont know that.
remember when hidden blades was mathematically worse over the other talents in last row?
method doesn't play outlaw when it's not god π
yet chinese koreas play hidden blades in m+ all day
whats the reasoning behind it?
they dont give a shit on anything
And US players play BotE every day π¦
Lots of people do things that aren't mathematically optimal
Preference carries a lot of weight
it doesn't when you're playing for tens of thousands of dollars
Yoda was playing vigor in MDI
And US/EU has a strong preference for Assassination atm
otherwise they wouldn't be running 3x hunter, but playing their mains
if anything it would be BoTE vs Breath
You only delay the inevitable zine
if were talking ST
idk eu/us i just see playing whats good for the progress
they're doing what's optimal
This is the reason I'm staying awake and I love it
muscle was playing 1 legendary instead of 2 in BRH during MDI semi-finals. clearly MDI players always know whats best, same as WF raiders.
I'm not delaying anything I'll shut it down if need be
Argue about Iris and bote please
It's more that people run BotE on ST fights when BotD/CLF are probably mathematically better, but nobody gives a shit about 1% when they are fishing for 30% TA damage π€£
quick question for my EU boys: just woke up or still awake from last night @rigid mango @marble hemlock
its not only that
Still awake fam
@fleet anchor bote is also very easier to play
Yeah people are more comfortable playing assa, but thats prob a better argument to keep playing assa on prog bosses rather than a spec they're not as comfortable with
still awake?
and line up good with cd
Zine did not go to sleep I can fucking assure you that
you think id get up at 7am
still awake gang
^
BotE is easier to play than CLF? π
yes
How?
What is a sleep schedule?
Still awake @vast forum
Idk clf is pretty easy
bote is better cause most fights are designed around bigboi cooldowns, and vendetta+bote every 2min > clf+vendetta every 6min
!wa
Assassination WA's for BFA:
https://wago.io/HJUbINlV7 (Mizerok's Group)

https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
CLF is 3 min and doesn't align with anything
and for nzoth particularly isnt bote even better for the push boss phases
it does to relevant things
its better becuase you can play vision minor and get 4 vendetta+bote windows into p2+p3
progress bosses aren't target dummies/patchwerks @fleet anchor
I run bote on N'zoth because I find it easier to use than breath
Not talking N'zoth. If you wanna make timing arguments sure
But breath would be the most optimal I believe
But people roll out BotE on Shadhar lol
if this is gonna become a "muh sims" discussion im out
yeah
pretty much yeah
and i will keep doing it
Ok, so? that's my point
have to respec for drest though
fuck, i have a breath of the dying major ilgy kill
People play what they want
i play 3 ss 3 np on every boss cuz i cba respeccing
why shorten the fight by 1-2 sec ?
for those breath snipes
cause i forgot to respec after dresta
same @tropic ocean
Preference > all most of the time
bote simmed best for me when it was prog 
also true @rigid mango
People play what they have practice with
bote still sims higher for me than botd
now shadhar is a pushover so why care
And a LOT of people in US/EU actually have basically no practice playing Outlaw in raids. And won't ever respec. So that's how it goes.
Any feelers
then HSed out to respec to 3ss 3np for memes
HOW?
it does @tropic ocean , unless you wouldnt consider a guild that consistently failed HoF by 2-5pulls not a topguild
and vop major sims 1k above bote so ye kinda dumb
Just like a lot of CN/KR players won't play Assassination
when i say top guilds
Just how it goes
im talking about top 10
and u can just see they dont play outlaw
unless on cleave fights
why
cuz its worse
and noone of them will care about any sim
and yet they take top rankins
there's a reason KR/CN can't win shit in wow π
most guilds dont have tactics tuesdays and prep what spec everyone is gonna play. they go into the fight, see if they can make dps checks with what they have, and then adjust. maybe do 1-3 class switches beforehand
KR/CN can't win WF race, MDI or arena
they're simply all busy playing starcraft and lol
all of the good ones at least
isnt that cuz eastern players get the raid 2 days later than NA ppl do?
π―
nah lonewolf
? CN isnβt Starcraft, CN is dota
i meant koreans π
lol people downplaying CN/KR guilds so hard π
the top CN guilds consistently have like 30-50% more pulls on firstkills than the top-eu/na guilds
but yea CN can't seem to beat OG in TI either 
oh wtf
probably cause their rogues always play outlaw instead of assa
and for the very top guilds @fleet anchor they switch spec
or they're just not as competitive as NA/EU guilds
perfecto play outlaw on vexiona too
They got "World first" Garrosh back in SoO, but it didn't really count since their gear drops were of higher ilvl in that region
tldr if china played assa they would be world first
Any truers
they also wiped over 1k times on avatar and kj
tldr if CN/KR were actually pushing hard for WF, they'd probably learn assa
I mean Blizzard unfortunately restricts a lot of data about CN guilds because of their API
nah, but theyd kill bosses faster probably :p
yes
no
Go to bed
this is too fun
Wtf
What is there to gain here
drama funtime
We have logs tho, most of them public log
don't leave us seli
I shoulda been asleep hours ago man
You too zine

Can paryah mute zine for 8h
and even more they dont switch specs they switch complete class
any truers?
If you guys were serious you'd just reroll BM. Stop playing your non-optimal carry spec. π
sure bud
@fleet anchor maybe i would have if it was known in advance how OP they would be this tier
i mean realistically if u wanted to be optimal
I don't play anything on nzoth 
yeah guy
Ok I was bout to say, zine does actually play pirate occasionally
We've already said this
i made a fire mage the moment they announced acc wide essences π
I've not played outlaw in like, a year
you play "sit on bench and still get boostcut"
???
without infinite resources u just play the more beneficial spec of your class
last time was orgo prog iirc
orgo was the same thing really
im just saying to say "lmfao just play dh instead of outlaw its betteR"
No you play the guild disbando card and get into club camel
that was fun @rigid mango
no
like okay go play fire because rogue is dogshit??
outlaw was good if oyu struggled in killing the zoatroids
lol
@sudden brook i didnt say that
i just said what top guilds did
they switch out rogue for outlaw
we shared the nightmares dude
they switch out rogue for dh*
if you didnt, ttk assa was way more solid. it still lacked behind in p1 boss-dmg, but was vastly superior in p2 boss-dmg, which is what most guilds wiped to.
do u remember the fucking trial rogue
well theres no reason to even bring a dh

just bring a mage at that pointn
why did they do it
why stop at dh
:^)
i member 
14 fire mages
you need that magic debuff though
u have the magic debuff anyway
DH tank 
Ok 13 and 1 ADHD sub 50 IQ havoc player
so the average DH player?
and for nzoth u basically want 2 dh
We have 4
dont need 2DH
assassination isn't that much harder than DH
you need 1
you want 1
@fleet whale sure 
you dont really want a second DH, no
I want to keep the 4
just need 1 for the 14 mages
but why they all play 2 dh
DH isn't great for n'zoth
you want 1 for mindgate2
I mean havoc is really easy to play, but it's not like assassinaiton is hard lol
becuase most guilds have mindgate1 also be carried by mages/warlocks instead of their rogues
cause they all play outlaw
there's some shade being thrown here
Defo because of assa
@sudden brook is just salty that the cf color is green, cause its an assa color
not just ur shit personality or anything
i miss in legion when assassin rogues could have green leters in this discord
_>
i mean
i mean technically you can play whatever spec you want it's not like theres too strict a requirement
was there even any other exsang boi in legion other than slack?
rogues not every a really good class to begin with right now xD
Yea dude just reroll BM
lul
did that dude quit wow?
rogues are bad
Actually I might reroll DK
except outlaw
yeah
outlaw is big
Here we go again
we can afford to have pointless discussions about outlaw vs assa, because our class is kinda meh either way.
Oh god
outlaw is ok, assa is better 
I do want to sleep
My BM Hunter got Mythic bow last week so who cares about this? Play for 2 weeks already pull 85k on Shadhar in the alt Mythic run. Ez game
But if thisbattats again...
π
Literally no one is stopping you
rogue is average ish in raids, very good in M+, very good in pvp
Gn guys its 7 am here
it literally is what
This chat being too fun to read is stopping me
rogue is not very good in m+
rogue is average rn
BM is a dumb spec lol
not anymore
rogue is passable in m+ becuase most groups havent figured out how to use their hunter beyond blasting their cooldowns every 3.7seconds
^
ok, well they are still good in pvp
when ppl stop pretending to care about gouge, ppl will drop rogue
They blast their cooldown every 3.7s because that's how long their cooldown lasts with the current build π€£
theyll drop outlaw rogues, anyway
Oh shit here comes the fucking arms main boi
theyll still want the 3eb 3ss, 2x raden weapon assa pumpers
Tricks is still vastly superior to misdirect, tho
Is it really a cooldown if it's always off cooldown? π€
Odo fuckin wish he had tricks still
So tol dagor is always a rogue key cos of that
x
Tricks is definitely better than MD because pet damage doesn't redirect
MD works exactly the same way tricks does in TD
u cant md cannons
MD is only 6 sec tho
so really, thats a bad argument
but it doesnt matter
MD starts the threat redirect immediately
anyway
made up for by binding
No it doesn't cause tricks is 2 seperate buffs
once again this is the worst raid for rogue in a long while, since like high maul, but they are still alright in this raid
TWO QUICK ONES
unless ofc BM brains cant comprehend hitting the cannon to proc their MD, and then jumping into cannon and getting 2 shots off
which is entirely plausible
Rogues get by on being good players and by reputation of having great survivability (which they don't really) so we're lucky for now that our rep still holds up despite so-so numbers. π
I already know im getting there on the perfect line @raven mica
IVE NEVER EVEN SEEN A 1:13
what a legend
seeing what rogues are currently top-scored
id press doubt on the "good players" part
and with that toxic shade, im gonna go to the store before theres too many people there. i hate people. esp my nemesis @vernal adder
I mean
after a certain amount of score
isnt it only who plays the most/rolls the best keys
?
yes

like if i could do keys 16 hours a day with fixed group
im confident i could be 4k rio too
and im pretty shit
Any rogue after 3k io donβt know how to do M+
I mean I'm pretty shit and I'm 3.3 rio
I dont want to shittalk anyone or talk down their skill but
For some reason π
All they knows is tricks tank, hit they BF, TD, eat slobber knocker and die
when i see some of top players they even stream 16hours+ so yeah that clearly helps in pushing score
Hey Seli, if you don't want me to play Outlaw on N'zoth find our guild a Mage so we can have more than 1. I'd appreciate it. π
i mean
tell ur bm/dh/warr/warlock to l2p
i dont see why mage is the outlaw equivalent
if anything, mage is the assa equivalent in terms of basher dmg, psychus dmg, uselessness on everything else
Because Outlaw can actually bring enough cleave on the THs to be relevant to the cast timings.
its the hunters/dk/boomies blasting psychos
but all of the above can do that
Heard stores are packed at this time @marble hemlock , enjoy
β€οΈ
100% would not die in time with our comp if I wasn't focused on it
its saturday, so plenty of swiss people shopping across the border π¦
If I get fucked by corruption again Iβm rerolling
yeah i guess
not having enough destros/mages to blast harvesters
is the only thing i could see outlaw being good for
Mages make me sick this tier

Such a fucking broken class
u tell me how?
Wait how the fuck
I mean DKs can just do the BS they do in M+ if you set it up right for Psychus
If they canβt be in melee range
I woulda played frost on that fight anyways. 2 min>8 min
u cc the casts
frost fucking pumps
and then they are ded
people still sleeping on frost-dks like crazy
frost on psychus with breath is stronk
i was watching flawless play frost-dk on progress
he was in mindgate
he did nothing
he was a mascot
and then pumped CDs on boss instead
couldve stayed out for that
tisu is here, great. he can take over for me.
yeah but that pic ofc the guy is gonna have 8 mil on them
whgen hes out all the time
and they die slower outside
tisu tell us
why outlaw isnt as useful on nzoth as assa
ill be back in 30
cheers

Wait how many DPS do you guys have going into psychus 1?
we have 2dps for psychus (mage+me) and then bm, ret, dh
cause youre triyng to apply a 2cp rupture on a mob that still has 20sec of rupture left?
Sounds more like parry
don't worry guys
Wcl is fake news
i'll solve this argument
but parry still takes the cp no?
parry takes your CP
It shouldnβt no
Tisu that's literally what I done when we started prog 
assassin = bad at cleave
Oh
gg no redos
im pretty sure it does
xD
if u think nzoth is cleave
u might want to turn your raid difficulty from heroic to mythic
there's ads right
I've got things to do but the argument is pretty simple: play what your raid leader fucking wants you to play based on your gear and skill level and don't worry about it. π
Put nzoth in the figure 4
therefore it's cleave 
Implying 95% of this discord is even capable of reaching heroic nzoth.
Lotus doesn't like assassination
@fleet anchor or tell ur raidleader to l2p
Imagine rolling the bones
Hey man, I gotta be careful about how I backchat to the raid leader
the mods will help you out @rigid mango
Don't wanna get benched for a BM Hunter alt π€£
Need to reinstall windows texas
Or: you play the spec that you prefer because at this point if youβre progging it, your spec is not going to be the make or break except on a .5%
but dude said it right
Fuck off @marble hemlock
play what your raid needs
I mean generally yes do what your raidleader says obviously but
fill that role

and execute properly

might as well tell ur raidlead that he should fix all his raiders to play properly when you NEED to switch to outlaw cuz u lack cleave
And on a .5% thereβs a bajillion different other things you couldβve executed properly and gotten the kill on instead of oneβs spec
@gusty kestrel nah i dont
competent raidleaders are rare
I love this
most just log at wclogs, see one spec more often than another, and tell you to do that.
thats exactly not how to approach raiding seriously.
so you play what your raidleader tells you to, and after 1raid you explain to him why hes wasting your potential by telling you to play outlaw.
also need to adapt to your players basically
i love how tisu just turns up like "who the fuck thinks outlaw is better?" π
I mean when we started I looked at the fight and thought outlaw looked more fun to play on it, looked at wcl and told me RL I wanted to play it on the fight
just cuz "everyone uses destrolocks"
Guys
I always had to have whispers with my RL during nighthold how i couldn't really switch targets on most fights cause of Agonizing poison
Tisu saw the statements before this all happened
Now he doesn't want me on assa because the damage xd
Everyone know that outlaw rogue is the best spec.
and that i was far more useful sitting on the boss
@glacial crypt overall barely matters in nzoth
rather than switching and doing crap add damage
and agonizing poison, my god that was cancer
anyway
indeed it was
imagine playing sin and not using a damaging poison.
I'm a very anti one-trick kind of guy though. So I'm pretty open-minded about swapping specs whenever. If I wanted to play one spec and be stuck with it, I'd still be on Feral or Havoc. π
i'm pretty open minded about it too, i just don't think outlaw is as good on n'zoth 
I thought this was off topic, im tired
Laughed about it left
Dude I fucking pumped as Feral in WoD. As much of an uphill battle as it was. lol
Yes it does tisu
i played outlaw on orgo and hivemind
I typed and got told off xd
i don't mind playing outlaw when it's better, it just isn't on n'zoth 
Good
i think i'd have switched to outlaw on hivemind and vexiona but
no weapon so
π€·
oh and no azerite too
i don't think vex is much of an outlaw fight tbh
It's not
Fight is literally p3 pump
it really isnt yeahb
Im curious how much dps I did on nzoth compared to the other sin rogue in guild
but we struggled adds in progression
Vex I think assa is better on
sure, there are adds, but she goes away for quite a while which allows assa CDs to come back up
Boss damage is huge there
Vex is a st fight
1 min phases with 1 min downtime is amazing for assa
Adds die to annihilation
Vex I played Assassination on fwiw π
also, early prog killtimes were perfect for assa
vex has ads
therefor also cleave 
Idk if u think ur funny or what
Vex has very slim AoE requirements though
but just stop
il'gynoth has adds, therefore outlaw 
I mean yeah by now they dont matter
but yeah vex is st yeesh lol
Vex the adds just explode within like 2 seconds nowadays lol
but when I progressed it we didnt manage to kill adds before transition
Yeah but it was ok for adds to be up during intermission anyway though
Not like there was anything else to do
just kite them? π
it wasnt I can assure you
kill them in the 1 min
when ur raiders cant dodge the breath
haha
My god, the other sin rogue out beat me by 3m damage
solely because of his IS alone

I could see where that might cause problems Ausr π
but at least sin pumps with 3 ss exsang build so i can pad everywhere and pretend to be a good player
10/10 raiding experience
a lot of haste i guess
Probably just classified wrong. It relies on manual classification
There's some submission form somewhere on the page
i legit spent ~10 min looking for it in the damage buffs section
thinking i went blind
Finish at 4+, yeah
anyone have vision reccomendations for rogue in general
3xss 3xnp exsang bote
for what reason we should open with rup b4 garrote?
mutilate till enough cp>rupture then garrote
in what opener
Simple Opener Priority:
If first mut is 4cp: Mut rup mut gar
if first mut is <4cp: Mut mut rup gar mut
Finish both with CLF>Vend>Tb>Vanish or Vend>TB>Bote>Vanish dependant on major essence.
yeah
that's if you're running MA
mutilate
if you have 4 CP, rupture into another mutilate, then garrote
if you have 2 or 3, mutilate again then rupture
does galecallers work well with the ss build for raids? Seems good on Nzoth?
yeah its alright
probably not the move on nzoth tho considering how much you have to move
Go for plumage
hi I just started playing wow for 3 days
I wanna what's the best opener when you start from stealth
idk if mine is good enough
I've been doing Garrote>rupture>cheapshot
then multilate>kidney shot
no I only kill mobs xd
just wanna know if there's a better order so I can start practicing my muscle memory
well openers depend on a variety of things like your talents and azerite traits. if you have shrouded suff or subterfuge or MA. still check pins or the WoWhead guide/Ravenholdt guide to get a better idea
he/she is leveling
okay then, thanks for the help π
you probably don't ever need to cheapshot mobs while leveling
just garrote mut rup mut kidney or something if mobs live long enough for bleeds to do something
or even cut the kidney
idk how hard stuff hits at low level anymore
Inb4 heβs playing classic
I do kidney shot for extra dot damage
I have that talent
let me look it up
internal bleeding
Itβs not until you hit endgame content that you need to worry about things like your opener.
seems fine
Generally try to finish at 5 combo points though
One combo point rupture doesnβt really
Do anything.
hey. I'm wondering when im running a dungeon slice sim why 'shrouded suffocation' doesnt sim high at all? is there a reason or is there actually better options as assasination for m+?
Dslice isnβt optimized for sin I donβt think
Dslice doesn't restealth between packs afaik
ah okay. thanks! π
it restealths most of the time, but it does miss some (unless changed recently)
shrouded should sim pretty okay in dslice for the most part, but it's not so insane in that fightstyle that you'll do weird shit to your gear to get it
for a number of reasons i guess, missed restealths, short timers on small ad packs, awkward vanish timing etc
do i go for my top sim?
i have 3 SS and i have 3 DD and 3 NP i can't decide what to play since my sim tells me to use this traits
also subterfuge sims higher than master assasin
is something wrong with those traits or something
im so confused xD
even without SS trait?
and you should prolly sim w/o vop minor unless you need vop minor for some specific timing reason
yes
let me fix some stuff and link u another sim
also do i use formless void 3 as a minor or i use memory?
lucid is basically never replaced but you don't have it at rank 3 yet
sim works for this kind of thing though, so just put all the junk in you want to check
formless void is better sim by only 200 so i think lucid is worth keeping
not really sure how you'd come to the conclusion that +200 is worse than not +200 but i guess that's ok
did you come back to wow/start recently or can you not just buy lucid with echoes of nyalotha?

cool cool
agility gem is very unlikely to be worth at this point
and your weapon enchants might not be wrong but might be
i will sim them now
whats the best essences for horrific visions
rn im runnin visions of perfection n purification protocol as minors for it
or should I just go with whatever sims the highest
blood of the enemy major
lucid, breath and purification protocol minors
some will say others but ye
any essences work really, its pretty free to 5 mask now
it aint worth runnin perfection?
no
aight thx
ya it links up w blood aswell
but im talm specificly about visions
what the best would be
got p much all at rank 3 except for strife
the best is whatever works for the route you're taking
are you guys actually able to hit your sim number? i sim at 65k but best i was able to put out in heroic nya boss fight was 56k. mostly was around 40
yes
skill issue then
with that difference yeah prolly, but u have to remember sims are a robot doing it more or less perfectly
and its typically 10k+ iterations
i saw in the logs my bleeds were only up 65%. im sure that didnt help
yeah thats definitely not good bro
ill work at it π
thanks man
just switch to sin this week to try and up my raid dps
still very scrubish
actually @scarlet sequoia when you sim do you use heavy movement for the fight style? always avoiding floor crap and doing mechanics in raid considered...that actually has me right on target for dps
nah i just use patchwerk
but yeah if youre still getting the rotational stuff down it can be tough
it takes a bit of practice to be able to do mechanics perfectly and still do your rotation perfectly
raz how close to 100k :D?
can someone explain to me the appeal of running 3x EB and hidden blades on carapace? is it just padding?
because it felt very underwhelming
padding only
on wednesday @crimson palm

Hello, i got a doubt with essences, because different guides say different essences
For PvP looks like Blood of Enemy is core
But at pve Worldvein, but this one looks like need other people with that equped right
?
Should i go Memory if i play with random peopel?
is there a sweet spot for how many bleeds you should have up? in cases where there are many adds. I'm thinking stuff like HC Hivemind adds
depends, but 3-4 is ok
5 is usually what I'd say for sustain
But depends on the time window
But on Hivemind you should have 4 on the bosses most of the time anyway
But when I tested the priority target rotation APL some time ago, 5 was the saturation threshold for energy when trying to do a focus target rotation. 4 probably fine for FoK spam.
i think it was even 3 with fok spam but that required a lot more targets
Yeah pure FoK spam requires quite a bit and depends on EB count
with FoK spam you mean no useage of finishers? so I assume 3-4 bleeds up and just spam FoK or with Envenoms in between? finding it hard to optimize my DPS against phases with many adds
and thanks for the info fellas
Delay vendetta for vanish with no ss playing subtrefuge? going through logs and I see both ways
yes, fok spam is the point where you in essence only maintain 3 bleeds
its to emphasize your aoe and requires 3 EB traits and usually high target counts to work
it has one obvious downside, your st damage becomes negatable
also keep in mind that groups don't remain big,
so you need to adjust back to a normal rotation if your target count gets lower
in ST do i want to vendetta before Garrote, or after (assuming Subterfuge)? connected to this, does anyone get pulled out of stealth when casting a macro with trinket/vendetta (i don't have the poison azerite for vendetta)? Thanks in advance

@patent topaz only if it wont cost you anything

this look about right? major essense
subt better than MA right now with no SS?
strange is the correct word π
:thonker:
Is it really that strange? Subterfuge has been good for years and years in the past. MA was always going to have diminishing value due to base Crit increasing. π
it doesn't scale well, it's just that all talents on that row are somewhat irrelevant
Subterfuge scales as well as it always has, it's MA that is getting worse
gotcha
The connection with SS is mostly because SS itself is tuned around having Subterfuge
So you basically have to use Subterfuge when using SS
Funny enough, with my current gear set I have enough Crit that MA has become even worse than Nightstalker haha
(Also did some minor Nightstalker optimizations a little while ago haha)
is "current gear" without a talent in that row?
i have question, why is it that when i sim my char than i follow the info and my dps is smaller:))
is there anyone kid enough to look at my char? im confused
kinda crazy how small dps increase it is
1.6% for a talent row, i love how shit rogue scaling is
huge tbh
Hello guys, i read Ravenholdt guide but i'm a bit confused when it comes to second Vanish. Is the rotation : Vanish> Blood of the ennemy> Vendetta> Toxic blade> Garrot x2 ? Or Vendetta before vanish ? And should i delay 2nd Vendetta to line with 2nd vanish ? Thank you very much if you can help me
Vendetta tb blood vanish env mut env with ma
Does anyone have a good keyboard layout normally ive seen people using things not too far apart obviously like 1-5 and shift + 1-5 etc and q and e
Yes, you can add xcvb and f-keys
Yea i use those too
Like the keys around wasd and thumb area
I played maplestory so these were common lol
I use Q, E, R, F and 1, 2, 3 with all modifiers (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT), and as secondary, G, T, then Z and X
Can you guys tell me how much you are patchwerk sim on raidbot? and your ilvl please
Thanks
Trying to figure out a good layout i use to use 1-= and F1-F12 lol
Basically using my forehead to activate shit
I was helped by switching to a more cramped approach, but it is not for everyone; i found reaching past 6 pretty difficult, and the F keys seem like they are miles away
by difficult, I mean, the chance of striking the correct key diminshed rapidly when I was trying to hit 9 instead of 8, for example
Yea no i find past 6 difficult but then i would stand in 1 spot and not move when fighting thats why
are your A and D keys set to strafe?
No
i would recommend starting there actually
Ok
and just go to work on a dummy in town for a few minutes to get used to it
taking the right hand (mouse hand) out of the equation for movement helps a bit when it comes to bindings
zandalar/boralus
Where in zandalar? Near the dock?
Ah ok ty
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iF1n6k2g9rCfTinXrSHpS2 hello I would like to improve my sim someone would have a solution?
i need up 90k+
am i tripping, or are you using a 460 dagger in your MH but a 465 one in your off-hand?
@granite haven You should start by having your higher iLvl dagger in your main hand π

@granite haven should be the best https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hG6cLZoFUht4CGxzAirBgg 
Ohhhh thank you ! @hidden bay
300 dps more if u get conflict and strife rank 3
basic question, assassination is dagger only in mh, right?
both
ty
mutilate needs 2 daggers
that can even be mogged as anything else. Some real fun
why would you tmog them too something else
daggers are the weapons of civilized people
Can anyone recommend which M+ dungeons to farm for daggers? (Everything but both my daggers are 465+)
So i dont pvp and dont have rank 3 blood essence available on my rogue, what would second best major slot be?
ur/fh would be fastest for daggers i guess
cheers
for a workshop 19-20s should i got aoe or more single target
!guide
would you guys say assass is close at least to outlaw in m+? its gotta be way better for open world pvp/dailies doesnt it?
it is, IF you have the gear for it
which is much much more tedious and/or rng based to acquire
outlaw much easier to gear?
ok. just returning to the game/class and trying to catch up a little bit on things
scath got alpha? :<
grats
both corruptions and azerite for outlaw are easier to get
i like it
im in
lets make a club
mines better
maybe asmongold will post rogue feedback
on raden mythic which option is better r3 infinite with r2 mindflay / or r6 mindflay ? i am playing subterfuge
but if i got infinite i would go 475 dagger mind flay 2 and a 460 dagger no courrption
I would say mind flay
if playing master sin infinite will provide more output?
what should i do for gear rn, mythics are like a 1% dps increase
is output is complete rng
unless i do some super high lvl one
thats what im talking about
get a key and just try to form a group
will probably be easier than joining one since you're new
1.1% rofl
gear scales all the way up to +14's i believe so
just keep grinding
or try to get into a normal / heroic raid
not yet π
might do raids
Ineffable Truth any good for 15-20s?
Hello, I have a question regarding M+ and do not know if its a dumb question lol. Is Sin playable in M+ without SS?
i really don't think so, because most my damage comes from garrote - noob rogue opinion
echoing blades stack can work but i never tried it yet
thanks brother
a non-noob rogue opinion: it's extremely suboptimal to play assa without SS
you should try to get 3 of them, and if you can't, you should at least try to have 1
what about echoing blades
I love sin but SS just feels bad to me to play, i havent played it in forever because of it lol
Is DD not even worth using in M+?
No it's horrendous
The absolute only way you're getting good numbers on sin in M+ is running Shrouded Suff.
is it me or playing subterfuge and SS is easy mode in sin rogue :o?
I crank in M+ as sin running 3x SS 2x EB. But without the SS you lose all the big garrote damage which is your highest damage contributor in that environment.
Thanks boys, appreciate it
hey do any of you rogues ever find yourself coming out of stealth randomly? it happens to me kind of frequently it seems without me doing anything to leave stealth to my knowledge.
never to me. Check your bindings (you might avec a strange binding that makes it happen, like space or something close to a useful bind you use)?
In PvP be careful to some abilities of enemies that can do it. Not all as visible as a big damage aoe
so i run a quick sim just to have a glance at the rotation for the essence im using would anyone recommend doing anything differnt cause something dont feel right
what's wrong with it
just dont feel like im doing the damage i should be with this opener, i was doing mutilate - rupture razor coral - mutilate garrotte - vendetta vanish + TB - boe - then evenom
Vanishing there is bad
And coral can be with your first mutilate if you so want it to be
yeah but would i miss the MA window?
Huh?
mater assassin window i might miss the empowered garrotte if im not fast enough
The ma window is for env mut env
Coral is not on gcd
