#

seems like ~the play~

#

but idk

#

all made up mumbo jumbo for now

worldly sandal
#

if they fix the thing where you cant re-corrupt something you cleanse

cobalt pelican
#

i'd imagine they will, but then again it's been on tr/pvp gear like that for all patch

#

so idk

worldly sandal
#

how many slots is that at 485 that you can corrupt besides the cara dagger?

#

3?

rancid bobcat
#

4

civic hatch
#

would this make the mechagon rings kinda bad if they are 465ilvl?

rancid bobcat
#

oops 2

cobalt pelican
#

nzoth ring, carapace boots, double dagger if fixed

rancid bobcat
#

feet ring

cobalt pelican
#

mechagon rings have always

#

been on a timer

#

where corr res pushes them out of your gear

scarlet sequoia
#

well not anymore

cobalt pelican
#

yeah, i guess

scarlet sequoia
#

mecha rings are gonna be bis ofc

strange python
#

wonder if we can corrupt crafted pieces then

scarlet sequoia
#

with expedient stack

outer arrow
#

Does exanguinate affect gushing wound?

scarlet sequoia
#

and gw

cobalt pelican
#

really

#

what's the diff between

#

485 gw

#

like

scarlet sequoia
#

485 gw is 20k

chilly marsh
#

i already have mecha rigns without corruption

scarlet sequoia
#

465 gw is 16.3k

cobalt pelican
#

hm

civic hatch
#

but being 465 rings, the corruption effect wont be as strong right

chilly marsh
#

100% first slot to put GW

cobalt pelican
#

i wonder if the ilvl on the 2 ring slots is just worth more

rancid bobcat
#

is gushing wound still ahead of expedient with exsang?

cobalt pelican
#

i have no idea

civic hatch
#

for gusing wounds, unless you just put %stat on it i guess

scarlet sequoia
#

u do not put gw on mecha rings

#

u put expedient on them

cobalt pelican
#

yeah but your 485 slots

scarlet sequoia
#

and gw on higher ilvl peices

cobalt pelican
#

are hard limited right

#

and ring is one of them

worldly sandal
#

unless you magically have two 475 mecha rings

scarlet sequoia
#

well i 100% think mecha rings will be bis even at 465

cobalt pelican
#

yeah maybe

#

i have no idea either way

worldly sandal
#

but i guess you would have cleansed them

#

so nvm

cobalt pelican
#

in my brain the 485+475 haste heavy 2nd ring with gw

outer arrow
#

Does exsang boost GW dmg? if so by how much overall

cobalt pelican
#

and putting expedient on something else

#

sounds better

#

but ye

#

just made up brain thoughts

chilly marsh
#

i have 465 but all my gear setups ST /cleave/m+/pvp

#

use thsoe rings

#

so its a VALUE GW

#

think its better than use it on a item i will only use in one situation

civic hatch
#

whys expedient better than severe?

#

if u play non garrote/exang build

cobalt pelican
#

gw is hasted, and there's more sources of normal haste procs

scarlet sequoia
#

because 3x ss exsang is better than normal build

civic hatch
#

ah

cobalt pelican
#

since you eventually drop coral and play vita

outer arrow
#

wow thanks guys, i didn't know it was THIS hard to type "yes/no/not sure"

crimson palm
#

200 extra haste is just too good on mecha rings

cobalt pelican
#

the answer is no, not everyone is reading every line

#

chill out bum ass

outer arrow
#

asked twice

cobalt pelican
#

and i didn't read it twice, unfortunate

stray folio
#

so do we just full send GW with change ?

cobalt pelican
#

3rd times a charm

#

: }

hollow robin
#

Hey all, for Cara can you feint insanity bomb damage? or does it only apply to damage from being in someone elses ring?

versed mica
#

I’m assuming someone out there will see what the best corruption combo will be

hollow robin
scarlet sequoia
#

u can feint it yes

crimson palm
#

Funniest thing is that we are still forced into TA on mh

versed mica
#

TA?

chilly marsh
#

Hero dmg profiles use how much corruption resistence?

crimson palm
#

And every class using nzoth's td sword lmao

chilly marsh
#

sims might change if we increase it

versed mica
#

Oh twisted

cobalt pelican
#

herodamage profiles for corruption comparisons have no corruption so

#

only the trinket comparisons etc play the 6-7x gw

turbid osprey
#

When do we drop coral? Think I missed something reading through

cobalt pelican
#

when you have something better

#

that varies a bit on build and gear

chilly marsh
#

you dont in most fights

turbid osprey
#

Oh just following sims

#

Ok, was gonna say, mine are still showing coral always

#

Don’t have 475 vita yet though

versed mica
#

My sims make me go plumage+vita

turbid osprey
#

Is there a pin about this exsang build I can read up on?

chilly marsh
#

coral is OP i only change it in bad fights

#

like hivemind

turbid osprey
#

Yeah I dropped coral for vita on drest

chilly marsh
#

drest i drop it too

#

for plumage

cobalt pelican
#

i don't play coral on anything anymore really

turbid osprey
#

What build do you play?

chilly marsh
#

enxbuild?

cobalt pelican
#

i don't play coral for either build

turbid osprey
#

Ooooo

worldly sandal
#

ive only got coral + vita. havent gotten anything else yet, no matter how many KRs and SoBs i run

cobalt pelican
#

it still sims better for me at 5mins but like

#

very marginally

#

and no fights are st 5min

chilly marsh
#

what youre using ?

cobalt pelican
#

socketed plumage

#

470

turbid osprey
#

Sim link?

cobalt pelican
#

generally i'd recommend simming 3min for the first half of the raid at this point anyway

#

and there coral loses a lot of value

#

and for the back half

chilly marsh
#

my sims tell me to still use azshra trinke t=/

turbid osprey
#

Yeah could see that

#

Just on the topic of builds

#

I presume one is still the standard DD/NP etc build

#

The other is?

strange python
#

3xSS+exsang

turbid osprey
#

The other 3 traits would be?

strange python
#

hod is good

#

and 1 np

turbid osprey
#

5 min fight ik, haven’t tried shorter sims yet

chilly marsh
#

exg SS + HD

strange python
#

or just 3 hods works too

#

its filtered for logs with exsang

turbid osprey
#

Ooh and you go bote

#

Ok interesting

#

Is this written up anywhere? Might bookmark it to read tomorrow

chilly marsh
#

i thin you need at least Expedient rank 4+ before it becomes viable

strange python
#

dont think so no

turbid osprey
#

Mmhmmm thought there’d be some juju behind it

#

Guess I’ll keep joshing for plumage/vita then

#

Incidentally would you guys socket a Harlan’s at this point?

#

From my set in the sim above

chilly marsh
#

i have 0 expedient and sims just tells its a dmg loss to go exg

turbid osprey
#

Or the expedient legs?

#

Both 475

cobalt pelican
#

definitely wouldn't socket dice

#

it's not a bad item but it's pretty likely it falls outside your gear at some stage

outer arrow
#

@cobalt pelican thanks I guess

turbid osprey
#

Ok ty

#

Was thinking of doing that next but I’ll chill, maybe do crawg tusk for my outlaw set or sth

#

Don’t think I’ll be changing that anytime soon

mellow hornet
#

I've been wondering for a while, and havent been able to sim it, but does gushing wounds sim overall better than Infinite stars?

tropic ocean
#

yes

#

gw is best dps/corruption

royal lantern
#

gw sims better and is better

balmy condor
royal lantern
#

IS is simbait

tropic ocean
#

however is can due to rng nature have higher highs

mellow hornet
#

that's what I've been thinking, IS just feels so...RNG based that it feels not worth it

#

and doesnt really help with simming

strange python
#

feels good doing wqs and INIFINITY STARing some critters

civic hatch
#

will full GW stacking be the go to or GW+expedient?

strange python
#

cant beat that with gw

mellow hornet
#

Seeing the recent changes to corruption and how we will be able to 'buy; corruption effects, I can finally get some gushing wounds

chilly marsh
#

i'm thinking in holding currency and see if sims change.

#

the best possible corruption combination could be a goal now

scarlet sequoia
#

thats really smart

chilly marsh
#

im not a pro simming but bet someone will do it

scarlet sequoia
#

yeah for surely

chilly marsh
#

like 3 12% haste + 4 GW

eager mountain
#

If that happens is it possible to pin that message :P?

red bloom
#

yes please ^^

cobalt pelican
#

the corruption pin itself would likely be updated

red bloom
#

can there even be a be all end all combination if what ever corruptions could be better depending on our own gear anyway?

dreamy schooner
#

Hi, im looking for info to start playing Sin M+ any guide which can help, i usually play Outlaw

prime void
#

Just keep playing outlaw

#

It’s a simpler life

dark crag
#

Technically there will also be a cap like all gw is only that much corruption

civic hatch
#

i mean technically with no more titanforging and all corruption available, there could be a bis gear set right? like back in the day

chilly marsh
#

i think they said somewhere max cap is 120 resist ?

cobalt pelican
#

135

dark crag
#

Yes, but all items with gw 15×x

cobalt pelican
#

yeah, but there's what

#

9x15

#

it fits perfectly

#

into 135

#

idk if the 135 is still true of not though

chilly marsh
#

135 + 10 from essence +39 (safe play) from essence = 184

#

we cna have

dark crag
#

Replace a few to get to 25

drifting cosmos
#

save play would likely to increase too

scarlet sequoia
#

someone just has to do a gear compare and try out every single combination of corruption:)

drifting cosmos
#

already many play at 40-50s

scarlet sequoia
#

on every item

echo cargo
#

GW is good, exped is good

#

void ritual is good

chilly marsh
#

with a max corruption using 145 resist

echo cargo
#

crit damage% is good with bote

drifting cosmos
#

end of expansion madness just began

cobalt pelican
#

did someone do the epic math addition of how many echoes you can get per week pre-repeatable content farm

#

and how many corruption per week it is in purchased corruption

#

i'm too stupid

dark crag
#

Nightmare of simhell begun

cobalt pelican
#

cause i don';t see you really

#

getting that many that fast

#

from eyeballing it

#

like one every 2 weeks?

scarlet sequoia
#

Math for the new changes

Horrific Visions: 750 (250 for last area + 125 per side area)
Major Assaults: 625
Minor Assaults: 375
Emissaries: 250
Raid Boss (1/wk): 75 - 100 - 125 (assuming normal, hc, m - aka, M full is 1,500)
LFR Wing: 125
Random BG Win: 75-125
Rated Arena Win: 50-125 (increases with PvP rank)
RBG Win: 175+ (increases with PvP rank)
Mythic+ Dungeon: 15 per Keystone Level (+15: 225, +20: 300)

Weekly:
Mythic+: 100 per Keystone Level (+15: 1,500 +20: 2,000)

civic hatch
#

hopefully gushing wounds is cheap af if its based on total corruption given

scarlet sequoia
#

was this or something

#

@cobalt pelican

echo cargo
#

easily 1 rank 3 per week

#

if you're doing content

magic thorn
#

I currently have 12+9% more crit and arround 3k crit. If we can buy crit now i will get to 70 80% crit without Problem

cobalt pelican
#

ah so it's a bit more than i expected

scarlet sequoia
#

its like 5 times as much

#

as before

dark crag
#

If gw is available, i go for that. Got enough TA's and others for stuff, gw is just more flexible for what i do ingame

cobalt pelican
#

even just visions is like 5 vessels per weeks right

#

besides the ppl sat on 5000k already

#

i guess you get to spend all your coal on weds :)

#

have fun :)

scarlet sequoia
shut garnet
chilly marsh
#

but thats not the coin used ?

#

mains cant farm it

dark crag
#

Buy a socket

chilly marsh
#

it will be the same alts get for essences

civic hatch
#

ive been doing 5x visions for the past few weeks to try get less coalescing and still sitting on 120k

scarlet sequoia
#

i have full sockets already

cobalt pelican
#

yeah but it's 750 per vision right

#

that's pretty hot

#

just very boring

dark crag
#

Bank them for reasons

chilly marsh
#

you get 750 per vision ?

#

didnt know only play my main ahaha

scarlet sequoia
#

u will with the new math ye

#

if its correct

chilly marsh
#

masks drop more?

dark crag
#

I have plenty of unsocket and uncorrupted 475 items ready to go

chilly marsh
#

meh i do 4 5 mask vison every week farming corrupions...

drifting cosmos
#

yea vision is really boring af

chilly marsh
#

wasted a lot of keys =/

civic hatch
#

at least we dont have to do visions for vendor trash at end of run and can get resource to buy actual upgrades now

wet ruin
#

oh no we are gonna have to do emissaries now

civic hatch
#

how many echoes did they give?

strange python
#

50 i think

drifting cosmos
#

250

chilly marsh
#

think we could pin raz TO DO list

#

with everything to farm

#

prob at general

wet ruin
#

sooo arena is gonna be a pretty good way to get some extra

prime void
#

Have fun

wet ruin
#

considering its faster than m+

strange python
#

lfr will finally see an influx of high ilvl players

wet ruin
#

nah, its probably gonna give you if you haven't cleared the other difficulties

#

so 1.5k from the mythic run

chilly marsh
#

time to restore 3 months of 475 items lol to put corrupion on better stated ones 😂

prime void
#

Enjoy your search function

chilly marsh
#

removed lol

#

too hard to fix it lol

wet ruin
#

anyone gonna do the sims? 😄

chilly marsh
#

prob aethys ? fu? the sims gods

worldly sandal
#

for what? to see exactly what is BiS?

wet ruin
#

to get a general idea of what is gonna be good yes

#

SS exsang is already better than all GW, but it might be different with 485 GW combined with expedients

chilly marsh
#

we will have THE BIS list now can farm a boss / dg get the better stated boots in all game and put best corruption

static glacier
#

inb4 gushing wounds isn't in shop for 2 months

heavy lark
#

@scarlet sequoia What are you currently simming at now?

scarlet sequoia
#

106k

loud brook
#

I really hope I can get a bunch of severe corruptions

static glacier
#

I'm trying to figure out their pricing formula

#

can confirm it's not based on the amount of corruption on an effect, since TD 3 costs twice what TD1 does

loud brook
#

Its prolly based on usefulness

static glacier
#

you realise what you've just said?

#

that's REALLY subjective

chilly marsh
#

Mo its probable a extra pay per rank

#

rank 1 = meh no one wants

loud brook
#

Idk, just guessing.

static glacier
#

I think that perspective may change soon scarf

#

since we're not playing the lottery and can actually target corruptions rank 1s aren't as trash as before

#

since you can guarantee you'll get your corruption budget filled

loud brook
#

I cant imagine gushing wound would ever be under 10k at the very least

static glacier
#

if it's overpriced vs the amount of corruption budget it covers people will just run the stat increase corruptions

loud brook
#

Yup. I just hope the rank 3 stat corruptions aren't crazy expensive

static glacier
#

based on the numbers they gave for siphoner

#

siphoner 2 is 1.48.. as expensive as 1

#

assuming masterful costs the same as the haste / crit etc ones

#

and the increase in rank from 1-2-3 is 1.5*

#

which roughly lines up with TD cost increase (td 1 cost *1.5 twice is 14k, not far from 15k for TD3 in actuality) would lead me to believe that expedient 3 will cost 6750 or somewhere around that ballpark

#

so you can get one per week comfortably, maybe 2 if you're dedicated

civic hatch
#

pvp probs gonna be a mess unless they nerf gw

loud brook
#

Pvp is already a mess

civic hatch
#

ye true lol

loud brook
#

Also I'd be very happy if blizzard adheres to your math mo

civic hatch
#

they should bring that new shadowlands feature earlier, the one where they remove corruption

loud brook
#

I just want haste and crit corruptions. I have so much of both stats that I just want to make them bigger

static glacier
#

ngl, stacking ineffable truth will fuck things up in pvp

#

like actually fuck it up

loud brook
#

Omg

#

U rite

static glacier
#

trying to track enemy cds, gl with that one

civic hatch
#

ye i read somewhere ferals could get like 50% incarn uptime or some shit

loud brook
#

Welp, there's gonna be another round of corruption tuning now

#

Mark my words

static glacier
#

I wouldn't mind if they disabled them in pvp altogether, they'll never admit it's a shit system for pvp though.

loud brook
#

I'd be fine with that. Then I wouldn't need to put on an asston of mind flay gear

prime void
#

Pvp has been fucked since corruption became a thing. Don’t think they’ll fix it now.

#

Also mind flay has been shit for awhile now

static glacier
#

you'd think they understand that competitive pvp is fundamentally incompatible with RNG RPG elements

#

it's why actually competitive esports start people off on an even level, accentuate the effects of player skill and minimise things like gearing / pre-match choices

magic thorn
#

Will be fun to Kick that 1s < Chaosbolt

static glacier
#

nevermind corruptions being rng in getting the one you want and at procing at the times you want

#

don't even joke about that man

#

it's already fucked up with the chain fear -> CB degeneracy they can pull off with haste procs

magic thorn
#

What would you think will be more worth for m+
Either stacking severe for Eb and reaching near max crit or stacking gushing ?

static glacier
#

for sin? Severe / Strikethrough (Bote burst)

civic hatch
#

would that be the go to vs td?

random cape
#

does anyone know if we can put lashing void on pieces with the incoming change? that would be pretty cool

static glacier
cobalt pelican
#

you can assume weapon specific corruptions will be staying weapon specific

#

not 100% but, i'm p sure they'd mention it else

loud brook
#

I like going 3 shroud, bote or guardian and one eb

prime void
#

Heh

#

Enjoy doing no damage on fort weeks with one EB

loud brook
#

Idk, I've been satisfied with my current build on 16 keys this week

civic hatch
#

will TD still be the go to for fort weeks or severe/strikethrough if we can stack it now

#

you can run anything on 16s tbh

prime void
#

Probably td3 + severe for fort

magic thorn
#

Well depends on the dungeon I would say, I'm always playing with 3 eb 2 ss 1 ttk and severe 2 +3 and on the dungeons where you don't so big pulls or weird ones twilight doesn't do like 5% of your dmg.

#

And I have twilight 3

brave sinew
#

rng corruptions sucks

magic thorn
#

Yeah

#

It can be a game changer on higher keys but normally you don't want to rely on it procing to kill stuff

civic hatch
#

ye i also find trying to always face the cluster annoying sometimes

#

and when ur kiting a pillar boss and u proc td into nothing

magic thorn
#

Not only that. Tol is the worse dungeon. Always stay correct or you get a really juice pull

static glacier
#

may end up getting to try some meme builds with corruption vendor, VoP major / 3 NP and mastery proc corruption

#

casino sin

lone junco
#

wouldn't the Ineffable be more gamble

magic thorn
#

Then you could also go ineffable truth and gamble

lone junco
#

Or like 7x of the cooldown reduction one.

#

The glimpse.

static glacier
#

gambling on mastery proc aligning with vendetta is probably a bigger gamble than the CDR one

#

since it can completely backfire while CDR one would only be wasted if VoP is proc'd while vendetta is off cd

magic thorn
#

I think I will try to max out crit

#

Expansion is over, no one really cares anymore except high ppl or pvpers maybe

static glacier
#

to begin with i'll probably stack severe due to versatility of stat

magic thorn
#

If I wear all my highest crit items without my severe pieces I am at 51% crit. Imagine having severe on every piece then

lone junco
#

At least crit stacking is good for keys

magic thorn
#

Will also be huge for bosses then since you don't need much haste anymore if mutilate gets you safely 4 cps

#

So full crit/mastery m+ build

drifting cosmos
#

legion is back

vast forum
#

crit has high DR tho

fleet jacinth
#

the thing about garrote is just wrong, right?

#

garrote w 5.4s left is fine bc pandemic

#

and double cast at first bc ss

static glacier
#

It's been said that wowanalyzer is outdated

worldly sandal
#

mfw my sim has been running so long i forgot what i was simming in the first place

rancid bobcat
#

do gushing wounds still beat out expedients for exsang tho

cobalt pelican
#

probably at least partially yes

prime vortex
#

Do you guys know of any good starter weakauras/addons to get into assassin? I mained outlaw, not too sure about assassin just yet

rancid bobcat
#

what else would be good to fill with anyway

#

cause 9 gushing is way under corruption budget

drifting cloud
#

way under what budget

#

100 corr? sure

worldly sandal
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
drifting cloud
#

9 gw is like 50 corr as of this week

rancid bobcat
#

yeah so it only goes up

prime vortex
#

you're supposed to use BotE primary?

worldly sandal
#

use whatever sims highest for you, or what the fight dictates

rancid bobcat
#

so what to switch to once cap goes up

worldly sandal
#

CLF sims higher than blood for me by 1300 DPS

cobalt pelican
#

remains 2 be seen what's actually good but i imagine it's just some mix of expedient and gw

worldly sandal
#

but i like using blood on wrathion because it lines up

grizzled mist
#

do we want to just buy gushing wounds when the corruption vendor comes out and put it on everything? lol

civic hatch
#

by the time we max cape resistance, 9x gushing would put us at 0 corruption so probably some tentacles or something with high corruption

honest basin
#

That's the big question now, what is best, full Gushing Wound on every single and stacking versa like mad, with a bit of crit and a bit of haste ? Is there any other option that come close to that ?

cobalt pelican
#

stacking vers sounds silly

fleet whale
#

probably do something like that for pvp, but every stacks vers in pvp anyway

honest basin
#

Gushing dmg is increased by vers. When many people having dmg corruption already have vers simming quite high stacking vers doesn't seem so silly.

vast forum
#

the proc is also hasted

#

so why not just stack haste?

lilac sparrow
#

GW is not hasted so much

cobalt pelican
#

something is either hasted or not hasted there's not really an inbetween

#

you get haste% more procs

#

but yeah given how the gear of the best geared rogues has played out naturally this tier i'd imagine you basically just want their gear with some of the expedient moved around and gw on high ilvl pieces to fill

#

i doubt it's more complicated than that

#

like some people already have insane gear

#

it's not like we're getting new items

balmy condor
#

do I still sim 4-5 targets or is dungeon slice usable now

civic hatch
#

it just means everyone else who isnt as lucky to get insane gear can get it now too

heady aspen
#

Do you gain Subterfuge from Shadowmeld?

vast forum
#

no

#

but you do gain SS bonus

subtle stream
#

Might depend on the build too right? VoP build with 3x NP with +%mastery might sim well too.

#

Will need to test it.

broken goblet
#

Guys. can someone explain to me the rotation for Assassin burst single target. pm or voice? ty

drifting cloud
#

!guide

broken goblet
#

nice, ty

rancid obsidian
#

Does Gushing Wounds interact with our Bleed support/mastery?

drifting cloud
#

no

rancid obsidian
#

To bad, i feel like there are so few interesting interactions this explansion.

mossy valve
#

What about % mastery and honed mind?

#

For m+

languid mesa
#

Do i need dagger off hand as assa, or i can go with something else?

quasi ledge
#

Need 2 daggers

languid mesa
#

😦 okay

drifting cosmos
#

Don't think gw affected by mast, but it's affected by haste tho. Not too sure about vers but I don't think so

dark crag
#

Versa affects everything

lilac sparrow
#

anybody know why sims use only one garrot for sub/TB opening and first vanish?

#

As I calculate expected dmg of 5.4 sec garrot is larger than mut... even I have 3 DD

balmy coral
#

Do you have SS though? It's not just damage from hitting the button, it's damage per combo point and energy spent

#

you gain more CP from muti so that adds more dmg

lilac sparrow
#

Then I need to calculate again with expected dmg per CP

#

thx

wet ruin
#

the amount of people who ask if GW is affected by exsang/mastery is way too high

#

if only they checked to see GW is not even a bleed

torpid sparrow
#

prettu sure this gw discution isnt even worth it , if it s like i imagine u ll want 2 lash on ur weapon anyways, the higher ilvl the better

balmy coral
#

lash? in sin chat? nani?

torpid sparrow
#

it s a corruptor vendor , they showed 10 corruption available

#

i assume 4 rotation and the raid one available

wet ruin
#

99% sure weapon specific corruptions will not be there

torpid sparrow
#

why not?

#

it s the best corruption in the game

wet ruin
#

cuz they are 'weapon specifiic'

balmy coral
#

they're unique

torpid sparrow
#

why wouldnt they add it and limit it to weapon slot?

balmy coral
#

imagine stacking only lash

wet ruin
#

it s the best corruption in the game
exactly

#

cuz it already has a 100% drop chance 😄

torpid sparrow
#

makes no sence to give expedient and mastery to mage and war

#

and not give mele class their best corruption

rigid mango
#

Yes it does.

wet ruin
#

why give it to them when they already have it

torpid sparrow
#

we dont have it yet

wet ruin
#

its a 100% drop chance

torpid sparrow
#

at least that would make the game fun

wet ruin
#

its not like you gamble to have it on the weapon or not

rigid mango
#

Why are we even talking lash in assa?

wet ruin
#

beats me

balmy coral
#

exactly my question

rigid mango
#

BraveryShrug blizzard just fixed the system so peoplr can get their shit and people will still moan about it

torpid sparrow
#

if they dont add it i ll stick to my DH then , even with hm ra den it will outdps my 480 rogue

drifting cloud
#

ok

rigid mango
#

Good for you bud.

brazen garden
#

if they add the unique corruptions to the vendor some crazy stuff will happen

#

tanks running multiple copies of maut's weapon for ST

echo cargo
#

I hope they do it for the luls

torpid sparrow
#

no , they just have to limit the slot available to weapon, problem solved

rigid mango
#

No :)

#

Weapon was designed as a fistweapon why change that noe

#

Lash isn't make or break for assa

torpid sparrow
#

it would blow MF out of wtaer man

balmy coral
#

I think the ra-den weapon is a nice reward for progressing that far, if you can just put the corruption on any 1hander it removes that

rigid mango
#

But who would use TA when you can stick better shit on your weapons now?

balmy coral
#

people with hentai fetish?

torpid sparrow
#

what s better than TA on 485 dagger exactly?

rigid mango
torpid sparrow
#

u need corruption outside of GW to activate hod

rigid mango
#

Expedient.

#

And even them

torpid sparrow
#

it doesnt add that much if u dont have raden helm and carapace chest on MM ilvl

#

for me , a 12 % is like 1.5k dps

rigid mango
#

Yeah so why would u have a myth carap dagger

#

If u don't have those?

torpid sparrow
#

i dont, did ra den and cara on my DH to help the guild composition

rigid mango
#

Exactly so u don't have the dagger eirher, so your point is what?

drifting cloud
#

the only problem is if they dont fix that you can corrupt cleansed items

torpid sparrow
#

the point is, u cant put anything on those dagger atm , they said u cant re apply corruption to a cleansed item

drifting cloud
#

otherwise you use carapace dagger or wrathion with something else on it

wet ruin
#

for now

rigid mango
#

But they also said they were trying to fix it

wet ruin
#

they will fix it eventualy

torpid sparrow
#

so u either roll with them as they r , or u put a lash on 475 normal weapon

drifting cloud
#

and 8x r3 expedient is still 160 corr

torpid sparrow
#

ye like the pvp bug one

drifting cloud
#

so fine for a while before cloak goes up

rigid mango
#

Idk why I would want

torpid sparrow
#

it s there since day 1 of pathc

rigid mango
#

Lash

torpid sparrow
#

still not fixed

wet ruin
#

pvp bug?

torpid sparrow
#

if u use a token on a pvp reward

#

u cant socket it

#

same if u cleanse it

harsh sphinx
torpid sparrow
#

my hope for a fix is rather small ifd they didnt fixe it in 4 months already

#

and in the end i m hoping for lash cause it s a corruption which seems to pro alot , compared to the full rng swing of TA, at least it s how i feel it when playing my rogue and DH

#

if they dont add it , i ll play something else obviously , but it would be fun

wet ruin
#

why are you comparing rogue to dh

harsh sphinx
#

monkahmm it procs a lot or is a pro corruption?

torpid sparrow
#

i m more talking bout lash proc(obviously on my DH) compare to TA proc on my rogue

lone junco
#

Where's the 125k sim?

rigid mango
#

A haste abuser class, ye.

lone junco
#

Anyone put one together yet?

harsh sphinx
wet ruin
#

comparing a hasted and generally more proccing corruption on a dh to a 1 ppm tentacle that is not hasted on rogue peepostudy

arctic harness
#

Would you want 8 expedients? Don’t you want to mix in some GW’s?

cloud iris
#

Wait can you buy raid-specific corruptions? Like lash?

arctic harness
#

Not announced yet

cloud iris
#

Theres no way you can would be way too broken

#

Imagine stacking lash

#

Or flash of insight

honest basin
#

Is Expedient better than Severe just because there are so many haste procs in the game ? I see many ppl say "you'll want expedient and GW" ... yet crit is a very strong stat, right ?

arctic walrus
#

haste affecting bleeds as well as regen just makes it worth more whereas crit really onlyhelps with cp generation, which can also be supplemented by higher haste -> more builders

#

if you look at a corruption breakdown per point I'm pretty sure exp is closer to gw than severe is to exp

rose sapphire
#

So guys what do u think is the go for assa now when we can buy corruptiones

shy axle
#

do you guys think we will be able to buy the nyalotha exclusives like raden or skitra as well?

arctic walrus
#

most likely not

honest basin
#

I mean I'm aware of what haste does but so far in BfA I've felt like Assa needed some kind of stat balance especially between crit and haste as it's very cool to have a lot of haste but the value decreases the more you get as you have fewer to none energy issues especially with Ra Den trinket.

heavy haven
#

They cant let us buy skitra corruption

arctic harness
#

Imagine stacking lash
@cloud iris they could just make it so you can only apply it to weapons, but they can also not add it. It’s up in the air at this point. Until they release a list of what will be available (which I hope they do) we won’t know

dim yacht
#

what are peoples thoughts on running all crit corruption, for 100% crit?

#

viable?

edgy pawn
#

you can sim that via gear compare

wet ruin
#

you won't be able to get 100% crit even with full crit corruption but 100% crit (or close to it) for 3 seconds with MA is already worse than subterfuge, so I would guess that this much crit all the time by stacking all crit corruption is not gonna be anywhere near the other options

shy dust
#

Why would you do an 100% crit build

crimson rampart
#

Would you just try to get like 3 or 4 twisted when we can buy corruptions?

#

Also, would it be a case of buying rank 2 ones over rank 3 for twisted?

rose sapphire
#

Dolo rank 2 x2 is better than r3 imo and adds more flexibility on your build

arctic walrus
#

gw and expedient is what you'll see

raven mica
#

What about the peeps who play sin in M+, I’d assume they’d stack severe like mad

arctic walrus
#

severe/strikethrough yeah

#

gw obviously still really good though

crimson rampart
#

Cheers @rose sapphire 🙂

dim yacht
#

thats what i was thinking muffin

#

crit for m+

feral creek
#

does anybody allready simmed what the best corruptions are? full haste/ full gushing?

keen dome
#

Herodamage template use full GW

rose sapphire
#

Problem is stacking GW then an awkward need hits

wet ruin
#

herodamage template is very old

#

the idea of expedient SS exsang was also not present back then

small crypt
#

do you just stack haste when playing ss exsang build? cause i see many players going full haste socket enchant etc. but when i sim myself with ss exsang crit is alot better, even though I'm only at 3k haste

#

i know i know sim yourself

#

but was wondering why some stack it to 4,5kish

foggy flume
#

@wet ruin how come subterfuge is better than ma ? did something change from january ?

crimson palm
#

no obviously nothing changes between 2 patches

cobalt pelican
#

depends a lot on what corruptions you have, as well as what the base stats on your gear/corruption are

#

stats try to balance each other out to some degree, that's why you'll see some people gemming some/all crit gems despite committing full expedient

foggy flume
#

Just asking because MA still sims higher for me, unless i go with ss

crimson palm
#

do you just stack haste when playing ss exsang build? cause i see many players going full haste socket enchant etc. but when i sim myself with ss exsang crit is alot better, even though I'm only at 3k haste
@small crypt what's your exp rank

small crypt
#

rank 4 only

#

big yikes

#

makes sense, that haste rating scales up as you have more exp

#

but, wouldn't be low amounts of haste already be better?

wet ruin
#

@foggy flume subterfuge has been simming better for a lot of people for quite some time now, it just scales better

crimson palm
#

with t6+ exp haste will start pulling ahead until a certain point around 50-53%-ish

#

then crit takes over again

foggy flume
#

Sorry for the stupid question, what's the basic for the ss exsang build ?

small crypt
#

so u wanna go for rank 6 exp and then go after stat weights?

crimson palm
#

u don't go for anything, u do what the sims tell u

small crypt
#

i do as the sims guide

cobalt pelican
#

it's way too complicated

crimson palm
#

then what's the issue

small crypt
#

was a bad rick and morty reference by me i guess

#

no issues here just wondering how it works

raven mica
honest basin
#

@foggy flume As someone said Subt scales better, and there's also the fact that if you play BotE (which you usually will) then if you have more than 25% crit (which you should) then during BotE Vanish you'll go over 100% crit, so you waste some of the value the talent brings you. The higher your crit, the bigger the waste, and Subt takes over.

astral onyx
#

with targeted corruption coming into play is exsang/ss build going to become the "go-to only" build because it scales better or something? Or will toxic blade continue to be a viable option?

balmy condor
#

Unknown, but SS and by extension exsang is scaling really well in comparison, so instinctually, I would think exsang is going to see more light than tb

outer lotus
#

Decided to dust off the old sin for ilgynoth. Anybody wanna look over some logs? Not sure if im doing the opener with bote and subterfuge correctly

patent topaz
#

looks correct, looking at wipe #10

spark oyster
#

I think you only garrote once without SS

outer lotus
#

I always had to refresh my empowered garrote in the 2nd (or 3rd?) Toxic blade but i guess thats just how it lines up right?

spark oyster
#

Eh

#

you can refresh your empowered garrote during its pandemic

#

so that's before 2nd tb

#

also your use of tb and blood is questionable

outer lotus
#

I used TB on CD and blood with Vendetta right?

crimson rampart
#

This is going to sound daft, but you only use exsang in M+?

#

Or use it for mythic as well?

crimson palm
#

Don't use it

crimson rampart
#

Oki dokes

spark oyster
#

@outer lotus timeline looks scuffed kinda but you used rupture, vendetta, TB, blood then Env

#

which means your env was 2 cp at best

outer lotus
#

Maybe one pull i messed it up? Cuz i usually used it at 4 or 5 CP

spark oyster
#

Oof that's a lot of Ilgy wipes

outer lotus
#

First day on the boss and we have 9 melee lmao

shrewd night
#

wait

outer lotus
#

It wasnt pretty

shrewd night
#

Are you not using the actual dispel tactic?

outer lotus
#

No

shrewd night
plain thistle
#

lol, good luck

shrewd night
#

Brother

#

...BROTHER.

outer lotus
#

had somebody tell our raidlead that thats the go-to with the nerfs

crimson palm
#

We had 8 melees as well monkaW

shrewd night
#

Zero dispel tactic with 9 melee

outer lotus
#

i think they just follow stankie video for the first day on a boss lol

#

hopefully gonna switch next week

spark oyster
#

Idk what's worse, no dispel with 9 melees or having to deal with MC with 9 melees

#

both are cancer

crimson palm
#

Range wiping you with 9 melees

shrewd night
#

Ranged standing in melee with zero dispel tactic

#

Not bitter, promise.

spark oyster
#

the best one

#

@outer lotus you're doing that opener almost all the time it seems

#

unless I can't read a timeline

outer lotus
#

i think you are reading it wrong because im very sure i didnt envenom with less than 4 CP more than maybe once that evening

shrewd night
#

Nice save datsik

spark oyster
#

you haven't seen shit

cobalt pelican
#

that's a damage timeline not a cast timeline

spark oyster
#

does it change something ?

outer lotus
#

was gonna say why the hell is it tracking stuff like deadly poison

fathom swift
#

yes, a lot

shrewd night
#

One shows what damage is going on, the other shows actual keypresses

spark oyster
#

oh yea nvm watching cast now

shrewd night
spark oyster
#

you have it right

#

xd

ember mural
spark oyster
#

yeah yeah

cobalt pelican
#

the opener is fine, generally hard to assess normal gameplay when you're (w/o being rude) speed depleting before 2nd vend

#

like wipe 29 has a giant 1min gap between tbs

#

but that might just be

#

progress things

#

either that or you're unsure of organ kill speed

crimson palm
#

You might want to take vop

outer lotus
#

Yea we basically didnt make it to the 2nd phase on ilg lol

crimson palm
#

As your raid dmg is ass

outer lotus
#

I dont hold TB for Vendetta right? Just use vend when its up and use blood with the TB thats coming up in the vend

cobalt pelican
#

yeah

#

normal timing assuming you're pressing on cd has tb coming up like

crimson palm
#

As long as full bote is into vendetta ye

cobalt pelican
#

~5-6 seconds into vend

#

which is fine

#

gives you some wiggle room to fuck up a few gcds and still get the full debuff inside vend

outer lotus
#

And vanish garrote in the Vendetta just as soon as its up and garrote is in pandemic

crimson palm
#

Don't worry about garrote

#

0.3% diff

spark oyster
#

yea the apl doesn't even care about lining vanish and vend right?

crimson palm
#

Think so

outer lotus
#

Oh that makes stuff easier

spark oyster
#

never played tb subt so could be wrong though

crimson palm
#

Think it's a 0.6% loss if you don't pick a talent at all

outer lotus
#

So probably better of to just use it to maybe dot the clotted boy and ilgy

cobalt pelican
#

it naturally falls partially within vend anyway

crimson palm
#

on ilgy if you dont take vop everything's gonna line up

#

since vend usage is smth like ilgy ilgy ilgy organ ilgy

#

with the delays inbetween

outer lotus
#

are there any videos or guides post-nerf for the dispel strat i could link my raid lead?

cobalt pelican
#

there's nothing to really like

#

explain tbh

crimson palm
#

there's a weakaura

cobalt pelican
#

you just dispel when the circles are small

crimson palm
#

that plays the fight for u

cobalt pelican
#

i don't think most people even use the weakaura

crimson palm
#

aye

cobalt pelican
#

you basically just play the fight like heroic (or like i assume you did on heroic)

#

use 1 organ segment for beams as the entire raid

#

break mcs (not too hard)

#

and dispel small circles (either through the player asking for a dispel, general awareness, or weakaura)

#

and then you go 2nd organ segment/use the remainder of 1st organ segment

#

and then at the end you just use the enterance or any space left

outer lotus
#

seems very straight forward. ill bring it up next time, ty!

cobalt pelican
#

it's honestly so much easier if your raid is even a tiny but functional communication wise

#

and tbh doing no dispel with this many melee is like.. it's possible but i mean

#

as you get deeper into the fight and space gets restricted

outer lotus
#

just getting from the first organ back to ilgy was basically impossible lol

cobalt pelican
#

half the melee just won't get to hit the boss even

wet ruin
#

dispell is so much easier, one fuck up with the other one and you are done

#

also you can use cloak on stuff like the eye following you

#

instead of just saving it for the next boss

sharp elk
#

infinite stars cant proc off bleeds/poisons right?

lean marten
#

it can

worldly sandal
#

it procs off any damage i thought. that said I don't have any IS pieces on my rogue so dont listen to me

sharp elk
#

alright cool thanks

zinc coyote
#

Why use the dispel strat? We had 5 melee not including 2 tanks 2 hpals when we killed it. Took 31 pulls (with our large amount of body pulls factored out lol). Just gotta make sure people are paying attention to their buddies when moving around. If it helps a DH and a fury war can stand on top of eachother

wet ruin
#

you use the dispell strat cuz its easier

zinc coyote
#

Dealing with more mechanics is easier? Or just easier on healers specifically?

wet ruin
#

its not really more mechanics, its really only spreading for MC

#

I don't think someone calling for dispell or using WA or wathever is really a hard mechanic

zinc coyote
#

Ahh

#

Wonder what the breakdown is between the no dispell strat and the easy strat on prog kills

outer lotus
#

what is the weakaura for dispels btw?

wet ruin
#

the easy strat is the dispell strat

cobalt pelican
#

generally the dps check is so low in ilgynoth now you're like 2.5mins off enrage

#

on our reclears for example

#

we still wipe 2-3 times sometimes

#

but none of our reclear kills are 0 death kills

#

and those would all be wipes doing no dispel

worldly sandal
#

I remember when my guild did N Ilgy for the first time when the raid dropped (casual guild no mythic kills), and struggled to make the enrage timer.

wet ruin
#

and again, with doing the dispells you are left with more room, can use immunities for the eye beams you don't need to worry about not taking damage, you can play over 40 corruption, etc. etc.

cobalt pelican
#

yeah, no dispel is definitely still functional and can work for your raid it's just more burden on individuals to play not moronically

wet ruin
#

yea, I think we used it for 3-4 rekills, but then we tried the dispell, had literally 0 problems with it and we've been using it since

fathom swift
#

if you did it no dispel from like early prog then its prob not worth relearning the whole thing to do it with dispels tho

#

at least thats my experience trying both strats

wet ruin
#

relearning?

cobalt pelican
#

idk, we killed it no dispel just before the dispel damage change

#

and killed it in like 6 pulls with dispels on first reclear after like 2 months on nzoth

fathom swift
#

yeah your healers have to learn how to do the mechanic and you have to actually do the mcs again

wet ruin
#

we one shotted it the first time we tried dispelling

#

dispells are really not a problem

#

we just call for dispells

#

not even using WA

cobalt pelican
#

the biggest problem with dispelling is that

#

they changed the mcs

#

to not get healed to full

#

for some reason

lone junco
#

this made me lol. Stars did more dps than most of our raiders do overall.

wet ruin
#

I mean we had deaths only if people got stunned in the black shit during mc

lone junco
#

casual 55k

wet ruin
#

and dying is not that big of a problem cuz you won't wipe the whole raid

fathom swift
#

you have raiders doing 55k?

worldly sandal
#

no, the raiders stars did a total 55k

#

oh wait

fathom swift
#

yeah and read what he said

worldly sandal
#

i misread sorry

#

yeah yeah i didnt read closely my b

#

that said

#

bolasToday at 10:44 AM
you have raiders doing 55k?

lone junco
#

mythic maut

#

lol

fathom swift
#

yikes

#

im surprised you have the dps to actually kill maut

lone junco
#

6:01

#

we did hit enrage once.

#

but i clocked in at 126 hps.

#

not bad

#

no assassin stuff though

#

was our first week doing mythic. but we stumbled through it.

fathom swift
#

i guess for first time in mythic its not the end of the world

zinc coyote
#

29 IS procs in 3.5 min

elfin saffron
#

what will the best Corruptions be for asssassin for raiding?

zinc coyote
#

Awesome lol

fathom swift
#

prob a mix of gushing and expedient

night vale
#

for reclears do you guys prefer to play whatever sims highest or just stack a bunch of Twisted Appendage? looking at logs seems people seem to just stack TA and hope for procs

cobalt pelican
#

i avoid ta as much as i can

#

but then again idc about rank 1 logs

#

i'd rather just do decently well on every boss than have a rollercoaster of a raid

raw coral
#

same

fathom swift
#

there's not that many other options for damage procs tho, is is also rng and way worse in a lot of situations

#

so unless you have a whole lot of stat %

frigid kestrel
#

I hate proc corruptions in general. Just give me Severe, Expedient, and Strikethrough.

night vale
#

ive got some good corrution, im currently running, Severe, Strikehthrough, Gushing wound, Expedient and the 485 TA dagger, im just gonna run that tonight i think

strange python
#

How do you guys handle so much corruption? I'm trying to stay under 40 because I hate dealing with the dude chasing me

#

Which basically limits me to just my Infinite Stars III ring with 75 corruption on it

lean marten
#

solo content easier to just stay under 40, with a healer its pretty manageable to be under <79 imo

strange python
#

So during raid just tank the circles and try to avoid the dude?

lean marten
#

if u have no stacks going in, u can tank a full circle

#

if u have stacks or low hp + thing incoming, use cloak or leggo ability

#

unless ur doing raid prog then prolly 30-60 range is safer

#

otherwise healers can typically deal

#

they Eye stacks are pretty manageble under 15 stacks

#

any more than that u start melting

strange python
#

Gotcha. Can you kidney shot thing?

#

I just try to avoid even getting it so I don't know the mechanics too well

lean marten
#

im not sure, but melee abilities are in range to get hit by thing so its a crapshoot if it works or hit u

#

if ur full hp then let it hit u

#

it will take u to like 70% and healer can deal nbd

strange python
#

Schwerd

#

I'll try it out tomorrow night. Throwing more corruption on gives me like 6.5k dps increase but I've been holding back

lean marten
#

yeah in general i don't even react to corruptions unless, like i stated, im low hp or high eye stacks

fathom swift
#

if its farm sure run more, but I wouldn't go from below 40 to over 60 if you aren't used to playing with it

strange python
#

Yeah I'm going to have two sets going into it. Will try with higher corruption, if it sucks I can just swap back

north ibex
#

What's a good combination of azerite traits from Maut head gear for raiding?

#

Stuck with either Heart of Darkness or Double dose lol

rancid bobcat
#

Double dose is good

idle ember
#

I'm having trouble figuring out Droptimizer. It's telling me the mythic carapace dagger is a 5,500 dps upgrade. Does Droptimizer not take into account your corruption levels? I can't imagine dropping T3 stars to wear it would still be a 5k+ increase.

subtle stream
#

I'm personally not a fan of IS at all. It's too RNG, and has very little value on add fights. But to answer your question, the droptimizer does not take that into account. Do a gear compare with it and drop the stars/equiv corruption.

strange python
#

IS adds a ton of damage to a fight overall

idle ember
#

I get IS and why its trash and when im just trying to figure out what this is telling me

plain thistle
#

nah, just a couple fight you can use it effectively in this tier

#

but it does sim pretty well for patchwerk 5 minutes

idle ember
#

is that reading like that dagger equipped is 5k+ dps increase over stars equipped?

#

or is droptimizer just free range with corruption values

plain thistle
#

yeah, that top gear is using 73 corruption

idle ember
#

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

#

thank ya!!! good catch

gloomy slate
#

With the corruption vender coming I should be getting expedient on most pieces, correct?

plain thistle
#

probably a mix between gushing wounds and expedient

gloomy slate
#

Mmmkay

plain thistle
#

since GW scales with gear ILVL i can see using carapace 485 boots with GW and daggers (if they fix the bug)

gloomy slate
#

Cool cool I will keep that in mind

cobalt pelican

your stuff

#

1 socket, bad corruptions, low ilvl gear, double deadly navigation enchants, low ilvl azerite

mystic crest
#

ouch

rancid bobcat
#

is there a way to curb the "just get better gear" analysis

mystic crest
#

no not really

rancid bobcat
mystic crest
#

i havent simmed in ages

#

my last one was about 72k dps

merry perch
#

yeah i play outlaw mostly but i wanna get better with sin for ST boss fights. Just trying to scope out what i need to do to increase my dps

north ibex
#

Twilight dev stacks right?

mystic crest
#

it does

#

whats with the 7 minute sim tho

merry perch
#

simming for longer mythic boss fights

mystic crest
#

only boss ive seen go for 7 minutes is wrathion

rancid bobcat
#

also 7 minute fights are not pure patchwork

#

i mean 5 min/7 min probably doesn't affect the results much

mystic crest
#

true

cobalt pelican
#

the only real helpful advice i can give beyond get better stuff is like

strange python
#

get better gear and get better gear

#

its that simple

cobalt pelican
#

sim hod on your maut helmet, add your jar to the sim

#

fix up your weapon enchants

#

sim hod on your shoulders

mystic crest
#

wouldnt razor coral be good

near coyote
#

I know gushing wounds is good, but iv never seen someone tear up a fight and look and be like oh wow its gushing

#

it's always mindflay or infinite stars

#

No one lucky enough to get gushing wounds or why is that the statement always

wet ruin
#

I've checked my damage and said, oh wow its gushing

near coyote
#

fair, just I pug heroic every week on 3 chars never once has someone been top by miles with it in my experience and thats three diff groups weekly

#

Not saying it's not, just I always see mindflay and infinite

wet ruin
#

thats not a reason to think mindlay is better than gushing

cobalt pelican
#

there's very few people with like

#

even 2 gw

wet ruin
#

true

near coyote
#

I know it's not a reason but I also don't live in a simulation, while it's a good tool a lot you play raidbots more than the game

#

So was curious why in actual game i never saw it

strange python
#

is it still good to run subtefuge without SS traits if it is simming higher than MA?

you haven't seen it because nobody has it

#

and the people who do have it

#

have 15 corruption worth of it

Can anyone explain why a lot of they high end mythic plus rogues are using vita-charged titanshared over ashvane's razor coral?

cobalt pelican
#

and even if it's overperforming massively it's not comparable to put 15 corr of gw against

gloomy pagoda
#

assassination rogues that is

cobalt pelican
#

120 corr of ta

indigo elk
#

vita buffs your party

#

and no on use effect so is just equip and forget

gloomy pagoda
#

even though crit sims significantly better than haste?

indigo elk
#

its no longer about personal dps

#

they use it to buff their party

gloomy pagoda
#

okay, that makes sense

cinder nymph
#

Will Stacking expedient for the exsang build be doable now?

rancid bobcat
#

a lot of those rogues are outlaw

#

probably

gloomy pagoda
#

nah, i was looking specifically at sin

rancid bobcat
gloomy pagoda

thats why i was surprised

@near coyote TA and IS have WAY more variance than GW does

#

GW is extremely consistent

#

i've had 2 minute pulls with 0 TA procs and 1 minute pulls with 4 procs

#

on that 1 min pull i can say "WOW, TA carried"

#

but on average, GW just outperforms

#

it's also the fact that VERY few ppl have enough GW for it to matter

How is assassination at low gear levels? I just got 120 on my rogue (returning player after 5ish months) and have heard assassination is good end game, but not sure if I should stick to another spec until I get gear or just go in.

definitely look to get better things

My simc say 3ss+exng better for less than 3min battle.. but sub/TB is better for more than 3min. Does it not happend for 3ss players?

Outlow or assassin ? What is thé Best

rancid obsidian
#

For what?M+ it's pretty clearly outlaw but in Raid/PvP Assasination can realy shine. (+It isn't THAT bad in M+)

#

(+ most People realy perform best with what they like)

vast forum
#

assa is like

#

only slightly worse than outlaw for m+

rancid obsidian
#

Jeah but it's enough of a difference that 9/10 Top Rouges on Rio are Outlaw.

steep obsidian
#

it depends what you are taking a rogue to m+ for

#

outlaw has the huge cc + control

#

sin does not

rancid obsidian
#

Nothing is realy "Bad" that's one of the few good things in bfa, the balancing is pretty alright.

#

All depends on what you want.

steep obsidian
#

oh they fixed the thing so i can get echoes now

#

i never got any on my main

thin ingot
#

what piece of the azerite vendor should i start buying first?

#

like the slot with least terrible shit outcomes

young portal
#

for m+?

thin ingot
#

yeah

young portal
#

probs shoulders

thin ingot
#

thanks ! 🙂

young portal
#

iirc there's 3 with ss/eb on, Gorak's is also pretty nice

rancid obsidian
#

What are optimal Essences for regular Singeltarget/Small Cleave Situations?

strange python
#

How about azerite vendor for raid? I got enough to buy a rando 460 piece. Should I just save for the 475?

#

Guild is currently doing H Ny'a, don't know if/when we'll do M

rancid bobcat
#

If you have heroic on farm then you probably don't need to buy vendor pieces

strange python
#

Not on farm yet. I'm just now getting back into things so I joined a pretty new guild to learn the fights etc

#

Shoulders are 435 but the traits are nice. Was thinking about trying to replace that

rancid bobcat
#

Hmm

#

You're doing your weekly 15 though right

strange python
#

Highest I've done is 11 besad

rancid bobcat
#

Is the guild itself 12/12 heroic

strange python
#

Nah I think they're 8/12

#

Only been with em for a week so we'll see how this week goes

#

It's so tempting to grab a 460 piece but i can probably grab the 475 next week

#

hey guys quick question about dot mechanics. back in cataclysm I played spriest and it was a dps increase if you refreshed dots when you procced a stat boost

#

does that still apply in bfa? or are the dots auto updated

dull lava
#

@tropic jackal Screenshotting DoTs hasn't been a thing since I think either late MoP or WoD. They live update.

tropic jackal
#

@dull lava ty for the reply!

tiny sierra
#

whats the opener for exsnag DS build?

rancid bobcat
#

I would say save for the mythic piece

scarlet sequoia
#

g r g v m r exsang blood

strange python
#

ty kaite, that's prob what I'll do

#

oh wait snapshotting isn't a thing anymore? shit i had no idea

#

So should I rupture before or after Vendetta then

tiny sierra
#

is it worth it to refresh dots outside of pandemic for exsang when it coems off CD?

rancid bobcat
#

Before

scarlet sequoia
#

less than 25 sec left on rupture u refresh before exsang

tiny sierra
#

also worth it to cap on CP to make sure im always getting a 6 cp rupture?

#

or only aim for the 6 cp with exsang

#

is 4-5 cp rupture ok with DS?

scarlet sequoia
#

only with exsang

#

4+ ruptures with ds

#

5+ envenom

tiny sierra
#

ok ty

scarlet sequoia
#

ok np

tiny sierra
#

what is pandemic timer for 6cp rupture btw? sorry for so many questions, this my first time playing exsang it finally is simming higher

scarlet sequoia
#

30% of 28 seconds

lean marten
#

i wish afenar's had a diff glow/color for exsang'd bleeds on icons

#

cuz im an ape and forget i xang'd sometimes and overwrite lol

going to be trialling in a new guild this coming week, need to fix any glaring mistakes

tiny sierra
#

so with corruptions being purchaseable, do yall think there will be a theoretical BiS list to aim for? do you think the most poss damage will come from a full expedient exsang rogue? just wondering what you guys think

vast forum
opal minnow
#

@static glacier held vanish for 30ish seconds-ended up losing a cast. couple of tbs could be planned around just a little better.

static glacier
#

@opal minnow around when did I hold them?

#

it*

wet ruin
#

@vast forum what dungeon is that

opal minnow
#

from 2:15-3 min mark.

#

so 45 seconds actually

static glacier
#

ah I think I know why

#

I held it to allign with vendetta, Im assuming it's just use on cd if running VoP?

#

well, refresh garotte before vendetta but you know what I mean

3ss 1eb 2hod

wet ruin
#

actually pretty big

opal minnow
#

i've only seen people hold vanish for vend if they run exang build with like 1 exception

#

and then its only like 15 seconds once then on cd

wet ruin
#

what corruption are you running

static glacier
#

it's a mistake in understanding on my part then

#

will fix, as for optimising TB

#

I've heard it said 3 Envs per Tb is optimal

vast forum
#

running 2x TA2 (485 daggers), honed mind 3, expedient3 and severe1

wet ruin
#

hm. how is expedient in m+

opal minnow
#

it is. 2 is usually fine but you reapplied bleeds on the tail end of the buff a few times and cost you the extra buffed env cast

static glacier
#

yeah, I catch myself doing that - what's the play though

#

do I lose a tick or two

#

for the extra env

vast forum
#

idk, i don't have better options

wet ruin
#

I see

opal minnow
#

conventional wisdom seems to be you can reapply rupture a couple of seconds outside of pandemic just before tb (like 9ish seconds remaining on bleed) and then tb asap

strange python
#

Is it worth getting that last env in with less than 5cp?

simple flax
#

Wait guys just started playing 8.3 after quitting in 8.0, do I have to farm Eternal Palace for Condensed Life Force?

wet ruin
#

@opal minnow I am pretty sure people ran the sims for that and reaplying during tb was better

vast forum
#

@wet ruin i could run TD but i don't like it on assa

wet ruin
#

I don't even like it on outlaw 😄

#

my 1 GW on 470 is consistently doing more damage than my rank 2 TD (damage per corruption that is)

#

I am running TA on assa as well

#

with GW and severe

static glacier
#

@wet ruin did some searching, there was a response to this question by Zine on 28/11/2019 that suggested reapplication before TB is ideal

vast forum
#

i have 0 gw

#

and i had to give my slapper to a dh last night

wet ruin
#

28/11 was 6 months ago?

static glacier
#

yeah, I'm looking more now, seems to be a mixed consensus

vast forum
#

reapplying out of pandemic is fine

#

if it's just before TB

#

that was my suggestion 😄

#

when we tested it

#

at the time, it was a 0.2% dps increase or smt

simple flax
#

Anyone able to help me out with Condensed Life Force?

static glacier
#

that moment simply having some gear would let me scuff my rotation 😦

vast forum
#

so it wasn't added to the default apl cuz it wasn't extensively tested

wet ruin
#

it shouldn't really happen all that much

opal minnow
#

tbh i was also splitting hairs when i mentioned it-so its not a big deal

#

the vanish thing was the major fix

static glacier
#

either way, it shouldn't be too difficult to work on, vanish was just a Sinscheme from me

#

kek

#

ty for help boys

#

pray for me, apparently 2 other rogue trials

wet ruin
#

@vast forum yea, I am yet to get a second one from like 8+ kills already and I really only rely on my bonus rolls at this point

#

same with second dagger from 8 kills as well

vast forum
#

i don't even have a hc slapper

#

and i got my first mythic yday and i had to give it to DH who has mythic and hc already

#

cuz he doesn't have double mythic

#

and i don't raid as outlaw ever

wet ruin
#

oof

vast forum
#

and he's an ooficer

#

(intentionally misspelled)

wet ruin
#

ah, there it is

#

same with me I bonus rolled my first one

vast forum
#

he also has 5k score and i only have 3.8

wet ruin
#

gonna bonus roll the second one

vast forum
#

tbh next one that drops in the guild goes to me

#

but idk when that will be

wet ruin
#

we also take buyers that get the weapon sooo I am nowhere near the front line for it 😄
