if they fix the thing where you cant re-corrupt something you cleanse
i'd imagine they will, but then again it's been on tr/pvp gear like that for all patch
so idk
4
would this make the mechagon rings kinda bad if they are 465ilvl?
oops 2
nzoth ring, carapace boots, double dagger if fixed
feet ring
mechagon rings have always
been on a timer
where corr res pushes them out of your gear
well not anymore
yeah, i guess
mecha rings are gonna be bis ofc
wonder if we can corrupt crafted pieces then
with expedient stack
Does exanguinate affect gushing wound?
and gw
485 gw is 20k
i already have mecha rigns without corruption
465 gw is 16.3k
hm
but being 465 rings, the corruption effect wont be as strong right
100% first slot to put GW
i wonder if the ilvl on the 2 ring slots is just worth more
is gushing wound still ahead of expedient with exsang?
i have no idea
for gusing wounds, unless you just put %stat on it i guess
yeah but your 485 slots
and gw on higher ilvl peices
unless you magically have two 475 mecha rings
well i 100% think mecha rings will be bis even at 465
in my brain the 485+475 haste heavy 2nd ring with gw
Does exsang boost GW dmg? if so by how much overall
and putting expedient on something else
sounds better
but ye
just made up brain thoughts
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
gw is hasted, and there's more sources of normal haste procs
because 3x ss exsang is better than normal build
ah
since you eventually drop coral and play vita
wow thanks guys, i didn't know it was THIS hard to type "yes/no/not sure"
200 extra haste is just too good on mecha rings
asked twice
and i didn't read it twice, unfortunate
so do we just full send GW with change ?
Hey all, for Cara can you feint insanity bomb damage? or does it only apply to damage from being in someone elses ring?
I’m assuming someone out there will see what the best corruption combo will be
or should i ask in #wow-general ?
u can feint it yes
Funniest thing is that we are still forced into TA on mh
TA?
Hero dmg profiles use how much corruption resistence?
And every class using nzoth's td sword lmao
sims might change if we increase it
Oh twisted
herodamage profiles for corruption comparisons have no corruption so
only the trinket comparisons etc play the 6-7x gw
When do we drop coral? Think I missed something reading through
you dont in most fights
Oh just following sims
Ok, was gonna say, mine are still showing coral always
Don’t have 475 vita yet though
My sims make me go plumage+vita
Is there a pin about this exsang build I can read up on?
Yeah I dropped coral for vita on drest
i don't play coral on anything anymore really
What build do you play?
enxbuild?
i don't play coral for either build
Ooooo
ive only got coral + vita. havent gotten anything else yet, no matter how many KRs and SoBs i run
it still sims better for me at 5mins but like
very marginally
and no fights are st 5min
what youre using ?
Sim link?
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
my sims tell me to still use azshra trinke t=/
Yeah could see that
Just on the topic of builds
I presume one is still the standard DD/NP etc build
The other is?
3xSS+exsang
The other 3 traits would be?
I’m running https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/LLKyZo4mWQFUkQZhVULJU atm
5 min fight ik, haven’t tried shorter sims yet
exg SS + HD
Ooh and you go bote
Ok interesting
Is this written up anywhere? Might bookmark it to read tomorrow
i thin you need at least Expedient rank 4+ before it becomes viable
dont think so no
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
i have 0 expedient and sims just tells its a dmg loss to go exg
definitely wouldn't socket dice
it's not a bad item but it's pretty likely it falls outside your gear at some stage
@cobalt pelican thanks I guess
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
I've been wondering for a while, and havent been able to sim it, but does gushing wounds sim overall better than Infinite stars?
gw sims better and is better

IS is simbait
however is can due to rng nature have higher highs
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
feels good doing wqs and INIFINITY STARing some critters
will full GW stacking be the go to or GW+expedient?
cant beat that with gw
Seeing the recent changes to corruption and how we will be able to 'buy; corruption effects, I can finally get some gushing wounds
i'm thinking in holding currency and see if sims change.
the best possible corruption combination could be a goal now
thats really smart
im not a pro simming but bet someone will do it
yeah for surely
like 3 12% haste + 4 GW
If that happens is it possible to pin that message :P?
yes please ^^
the corruption pin itself would likely be updated
can there even be a be all end all combination if what ever corruptions could be better depending on our own gear anyway?
Hi, im looking for info to start playing Sin M+ any guide which can help, i usually play Outlaw
Technically there will also be a cap like all gw is only that much corruption
i mean technically with no more titanforging and all corruption available, there could be a bis gear set right? like back in the day
i think they said somewhere max cap is 120 resist ?
135
Yes, but all items with gw 15×x
yeah, but there's what
9x15
it fits perfectly
into 135
idk if the 135 is still true of not though
Replace a few to get to 25
save play would likely to increase too
someone just has to do a gear compare and try out every single combination of corruption:)
already many play at 40-50s
on every item
with a max corruption using 145 resist
crit damage% is good with bote
end of expansion madness just began
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
Nightmare of simhell begun
cause i don';t see you really
getting that many that fast
from eyeballing it
like one every 2 weeks?
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)
hopefully gushing wounds is cheap af if its based on total corruption given
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
ah so it's a bit more than i expected
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
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 :)

Buy a socket
it will be the same alts get for essences
ive been doing 5x visions for the past few weeks to try get less coalescing and still sitting on 120k
i have full sockets already
Bank them for reasons
masks drop more?
I have plenty of unsocket and uncorrupted 475 items ready to go
meh i do 4 5 mask vison every week farming corrupions...
yea vision is really boring af
wasted a lot of keys =/
at least we dont have to do visions for vendor trash at end of run and can get resource to buy actual upgrades now
oh no we are gonna have to do emissaries now
how many echoes did they give?
50 i think
250
sooo arena is gonna be a pretty good way to get some extra
Have fun
considering its faster than m+
lfr will finally see an influx of high ilvl players
nah, its probably gonna give you if you haven't cleared the other difficulties
so 1.5k from the mythic run
time to restore 3 months of 475 items lol to put corrupion on better stated ones 😂
Enjoy your search function
anyone gonna do the sims? 😄
prob aethys ? fu? the sims gods
for what? to see exactly what is BiS?
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
we will have THE BIS list now can farm a boss / dg get the better stated boots in all game and put best corruption
inb4 gushing wounds isn't in shop for 2 months
@scarlet sequoia What are you currently simming at now?
106k
I really hope I can get a bunch of severe corruptions
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
Its prolly based on usefulness
Idk, just guessing.
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
I cant imagine gushing wound would ever be under 10k at the very least
if it's overpriced vs the amount of corruption budget it covers people will just run the stat increase corruptions
Yup. I just hope the rank 3 stat corruptions aren't crazy expensive
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
pvp probs gonna be a mess unless they nerf gw
Pvp is already a mess
ye true lol
Also I'd be very happy if blizzard adheres to your math mo
they should bring that new shadowlands feature earlier, the one where they remove corruption
I just want haste and crit corruptions. I have so much of both stats that I just want to make them bigger
ngl, stacking ineffable truth will fuck things up in pvp
like actually fuck it up
trying to track enemy cds, gl with that one
ye i read somewhere ferals could get like 50% incarn uptime or some shit
I wouldn't mind if they disabled them in pvp altogether, they'll never admit it's a shit system for pvp though.
I'd be fine with that. Then I wouldn't need to put on an asston of mind flay gear
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
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
Will be fun to Kick that 1s < Chaosbolt
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
What would you think will be more worth for m+
Either stacking severe for Eb and reaching near max crit or stacking gushing ?
for sin? Severe / Strikethrough (Bote burst)
would that be the go to vs td?
does anyone know if we can put lashing void on pieces with the incoming change? that would be pretty cool
I would assume not, the samples didn't have any and I can already picture abuse cases with some of them https://www.wowhead.com/spell=316782/whispered-truths
you can assume weapon specific corruptions will be staying weapon specific
not 100% but, i'm p sure they'd mention it else
I like going 3 shroud, bote or guardian and one eb
Idk, I've been satisfied with my current build on 16 keys this week
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
Probably td3 + severe for fort
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
rng corruptions sucks
Yeah
It can be a game changer on higher keys but normally you don't want to rely on it procing to kill stuff
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
Not only that. Tol is the worse dungeon. Always stay correct or you get a really juice pull
may end up getting to try some meme builds with corruption vendor, VoP major / 3 NP and mastery proc corruption
casino sin
wouldn't the Ineffable be more gamble
Then you could also go ineffable truth and gamble
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
I think I will try to max out crit
Expansion is over, no one really cares anymore except high ppl or pvpers maybe
to begin with i'll probably stack severe due to versatility of stat
If I wear all my highest crit items without my severe pieces I am at 51% crit. Imagine having severe on every piece then
At least crit stacking is good for keys
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
legion is back
crit has high DR tho
the thing about garrote is just wrong, right?
garrote w 5.4s left is fine bc pandemic
and double cast at first bc ss
It's been said that wowanalyzer is outdated
mfw my sim has been running so long i forgot what i was simming in the first place
probably at least partially yes
Do you guys know of any good starter weakauras/addons to get into assassin? I mained outlaw, not too sure about assassin just yet
what else would be good to fill with anyway
cause 9 gushing is way under corruption budget
!wa

9 gw is like 50 corr as of this week
yeah so it only goes up
you're supposed to use BotE primary?
use whatever sims highest for you, or what the fight dictates
so what to switch to once cap goes up
CLF sims higher than blood for me by 1300 DPS
remains 2 be seen what's actually good but i imagine it's just some mix of expedient and gw
but i like using blood on wrathion because it lines up
do we want to just buy gushing wounds when the corruption vendor comes out and put it on everything? lol
by the time we max cape resistance, 9x gushing would put us at 0 corruption so probably some tentacles or something with high corruption
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 ?
stacking vers sounds silly
probably do something like that for pvp, but every stacks vers in pvp anyway
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.
GW is not hasted so much
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
do I still sim 4-5 targets or is dungeon slice usable now
it just means everyone else who isnt as lucky to get insane gear can get it now too
Do you gain Subterfuge from Shadowmeld?
Might depend on the build too right? VoP build with 3x NP with +%mastery might sim well too.
Will need to test it.
Guys. can someone explain to me the rotation for Assassin burst single target. pm or voice? ty
!guide
nice, ty
Does Gushing Wounds interact with our Bleed support/mastery?
no
To bad, i feel like there are so few interesting interactions this explansion.
Do i need dagger off hand as assa, or i can go with something else?
Need 2 daggers
😦 okay
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
Versa affects everything
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
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
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
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
lash? in sin chat? nani?
it s a corruptor vendor , they showed 10 corruption available
i assume 4 rotation and the raid one available
99% sure weapon specific corruptions will not be there
cuz they are 'weapon specifiic'
they're unique
why wouldnt they add it and limit it to weapon slot?
imagine stacking only lash
makes no sence to give expedient and mastery to mage and war
and not give mele class their best corruption
Yes it does.
why give it to them when they already have it
we dont have it yet
its a 100% drop chance
at least that would make the game fun
its not like you gamble to have it on the weapon or not
Why are we even talking lash in assa?
beats me
exactly my question
blizzard just fixed the system so peoplr can get their shit and people will still moan about it
if they dont add it i ll stick to my DH then , even with hm ra den it will outdps my 480 rogue
ok
Good for you bud.
if they add the unique corruptions to the vendor some crazy stuff will happen
tanks running multiple copies of maut's weapon for ST
I hope they do it for the luls
no , they just have to limit the slot available to weapon, problem solved
No :)
Weapon was designed as a fistweapon why change that noe
Lash isn't make or break for assa
it would blow MF out of wtaer man
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
But who would use TA when you can stick better shit on your weapons now?
people with hentai fetish?
what s better than TA on 485 dagger exactly?

u need corruption outside of GW to activate hod
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
i dont, did ra den and cara on my DH to help the guild composition
Exactly so u don't have the dagger eirher, so your point is what?
the only problem is if they dont fix that you can corrupt cleansed items
the point is, u cant put anything on those dagger atm , they said u cant re apply corruption to a cleansed item
otherwise you use carapace dagger or wrathion with something else on it
for now
But they also said they were trying to fix it
they will fix it eventualy
so u either roll with them as they r , or u put a lash on 475 normal weapon
and 8x r3 expedient is still 160 corr
ye like the pvp bug one
so fine for a while before cloak goes up
Idk why I would want
it s there since day 1 of pathc
Lash
still not fixed
pvp bug?

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
why are you comparing rogue to dh
it procs a lot or is a pro corruption?
i m more talking bout lash proc(obviously on my DH) compare to TA proc on my rogue
Where's the 125k sim?
A haste abuser class, ye.
Anyone put one together yet?

comparing a hasted and generally more proccing corruption on a dh to a 1 ppm tentacle that is not hasted on rogue 
Would you want 8 expedients? Don’t you want to mix in some GW’s?
Wait can you buy raid-specific corruptions? Like lash?
Not announced yet
Theres no way you can would be way too broken
Imagine stacking lash
Or flash of insight
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 ?
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
So guys what do u think is the go for assa now when we can buy corruptiones
do you guys think we will be able to buy the nyalotha exclusives like raden or skitra as well?
most likely not
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.
They cant let us buy skitra corruption
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
you can sim that via gear compare
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
Why would you do an 100% crit build
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?
Dolo rank 2 x2 is better than r3 imo and adds more flexibility on your build
gw and expedient is what you'll see
What about the peeps who play sin in M+, I’d assume they’d stack severe like mad
Cheers @rose sapphire 🙂
does anybody allready simmed what the best corruptions are? full haste/ full gushing?
Herodamage template use full GW
Problem is stacking GW then an awkward need hits
herodamage template is very old
the idea of expedient SS exsang was also not present back then
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
@wet ruin how come subterfuge is better than ma ? did something change from january ?
no obviously nothing changes between 2 patches
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
Just asking because MA still sims higher for me, unless i go with ss
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
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?
@foggy flume subterfuge has been simming better for a lot of people for quite some time now, it just scales better
with t6+ exp haste will start pulling ahead until a certain point around 50-53%-ish
then crit takes over again
Sorry for the stupid question, what's the basic for the ss exsang build ?
so u wanna go for rank 6 exp and then go after stat weights?
u don't go for anything, u do what the sims tell u
i do as the sims guide
it's way too complicated
then what's the issue
was a bad rick and morty reference by me i guess
no issues here just wondering how it works

@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.
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?
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
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
looks correct, looking at wipe #10
I think you only garrote once without SS
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?
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
I used TB on CD and blood with Vendetta right?
This is going to sound daft, but you only use exsang in M+?
Or use it for mythic as well?
Don't use it
Oki dokes
@outer lotus timeline looks scuffed kinda but you used rupture, vendetta, TB, blood then Env
which means your env was 2 cp at best
Maybe one pull i messed it up? Cuz i usually used it at 4 or 5 CP
Oof that's a lot of Ilgy wipes
First day on the boss and we have 9 melee lmao
wait
It wasnt pretty
Are you not using the actual dispel tactic?
No

lol, good luck
had somebody tell our raidlead that thats the go-to with the nerfs
We had 8 melees as well 
i think they just follow stankie video for the first day on a boss lol
hopefully gonna switch next week
Idk what's worse, no dispel with 9 melees or having to deal with MC with 9 melees
both are cancer
the best one
@outer lotus you're doing that opener almost all the time it seems
unless I can't read a timeline
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
that's a damage timeline not a cast timeline
does it change something ?
was gonna say why the hell is it tracking stuff like deadly poison
yes, a lot
One shows what damage is going on, the other shows actual keypresses
oh yea nvm watching cast now

looks good to me
yeah yeah
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
You might want to take vop
Yea we basically didnt make it to the 2nd phase on ilg lol
As your raid dmg is ass
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
As long as full bote is into vendetta ye
~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
And vanish garrote in the Vendetta just as soon as its up and garrote is in pandemic
yea the apl doesn't even care about lining vanish and vend right?
Think so
Oh that makes stuff easier
never played tb subt so could be wrong though
Think it's a 0.6% loss if you don't pick a talent at all
So probably better of to just use it to maybe dot the clotted boy and ilgy
it naturally falls partially within vend anyway
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
are there any videos or guides post-nerf for the dispel strat i could link my raid lead?
there's a weakaura
you just dispel when the circles are small
that plays the fight for u
i don't think most people even use the weakaura
aye
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
seems very straight forward. ill bring it up next time, ty!
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
just getting from the first organ back to ilgy was basically impossible lol
half the melee just won't get to hit the boss even
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
infinite stars cant proc off bleeds/poisons right?
it can
it procs off any damage i thought. that said I don't have any IS pieces on my rogue so dont listen to me
alright cool thanks
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
you use the dispell strat cuz its easier
Dealing with more mechanics is easier? Or just easier on healers specifically?
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
Ahh
Wonder what the breakdown is between the no dispell strat and the easy strat on prog kills
what is the weakaura for dispels btw?
the easy strat is the dispell strat
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
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.
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.
yeah, no dispel is definitely still functional and can work for your raid it's just more burden on individuals to play not moronically
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
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
relearning?
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
yeah your healers have to learn how to do the mechanic and you have to actually do the mcs again
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
the biggest problem with dispelling is that
they changed the mcs
to not get healed to full
for some reason
I mean we had deaths only if people got stunned in the black shit during mc
casual 55k
and dying is not that big of a problem cuz you won't wipe the whole raid
you have raiders doing 55k?
yeah and read what he said
i misread sorry
yeah yeah i didnt read closely my b
that said
bolasToday at 10:44 AM
you have raiders doing 55k?
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.
i guess for first time in mythic its not the end of the world
29 IS procs in 3.5 min
what will the best Corruptions be for asssassin for raiding?
Awesome lol
prob a mix of gushing and expedient
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
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
same
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 %
I hate proc corruptions in general. Just give me Severe, Expedient, and Strikethrough.
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
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
solo content easier to just stay under 40, with a healer its pretty manageable to be under <79 imo
So during raid just tank the circles and try to avoid the dude?
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
Gotcha. Can you kidney shot thing?
I just try to avoid even getting it so I don't know the mechanics too well
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
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
yeah in general i don't even react to corruptions unless, like i stated, im low hp or high eye stacks
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
Yeah I'm going to have two sets going into it. Will try with higher corruption, if it sucks I can just swap back
What's a good combination of azerite traits from Maut head gear for raiding?
Stuck with either Heart of Darkness or Double dose lol
Double dose is good
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.
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.
IS adds a ton of damage to a fight overall
I get IS and why its trash and when im just trying to figure out what this is telling me
nah, just a couple fight you can use it effectively in this tier
but it does sim pretty well for patchwerk 5 minutes
is that reading like that dagger equipped is 5k+ dps increase over stars equipped?
or is droptimizer just free range with corruption values
With the corruption vender coming I should be getting expedient on most pieces, correct?
probably a mix between gushing wounds and expedient
Mmmkay
since GW scales with gear ILVL i can see using carapace 485 boots with GW and daggers (if they fix the bug)
Can I sim 150 sec battle in raidbot?
thx 🙂
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/oKVe1fLMNSfaaqM4FBGsCX whats holding your boy back for ST on sin?
your stuff
1 socket, bad corruptions, low ilvl gear, double deadly navigation enchants, low ilvl azerite
ouch
is there a way to curb the "just get better gear" analysis
no not really

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
Twilight dev stacks right?
simming for longer mythic boss fights
only boss ive seen go for 7 minutes is wrathion
also 7 minute fights are not pure patchwork
i mean 5 min/7 min probably doesn't affect the results much
true
the only real helpful advice i can give beyond get better stuff is like
sim hod on your maut helmet, add your jar to the sim
fix up your weapon enchants
sim hod on your shoulders
wouldnt razor coral be good
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
I've checked my damage and said, oh wow its gushing
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
thats not a reason to think mindlay is better than gushing
true
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
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?
and even if it's overperforming massively it's not comparable to put 15 corr of gw against
assassination rogues that is
120 corr of ta
even though crit sims significantly better than haste?
okay, that makes sense
Will Stacking expedient for the exsang build be doable now?
nah, i was looking specifically at sin

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.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mEPXvX2Rq8gLXTrxRNbzs9 moved some stuff around, but i guess getting better stuff still stands?
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
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)
Jeah but it's enough of a difference that 9/10 Top Rouges on Rio are Outlaw.
it depends what you are taking a rogue to m+ for
outlaw has the huge cc + control
sin does not
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.
what piece of the azerite vendor should i start buying first?
like the slot with least terrible shit outcomes
for m+?
yeah
probs shoulders
thanks ! 🙂
iirc there's 3 with ss/eb on, Gorak's is also pretty nice
What are optimal Essences for regular Singeltarget/Small Cleave Situations?
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
If you have heroic on farm then you probably don't need to buy vendor pieces
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
Highest I've done is 11 
Is the guild itself 12/12 heroic
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
@tropic jackal Screenshotting DoTs hasn't been a thing since I think either late MoP or WoD. They live update.
@dull lava ty for the reply!
whats the opener for exsnag DS build?
I would say save for the mythic piece
g r g v m r exsang blood
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
is it worth it to refresh dots outside of pandemic for exsang when it coems off CD?
Before
less than 25 sec left on rupture u refresh before exsang
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?
ok ty
ok np
what is pandemic timer for 6cp rupture btw? sorry for so many questions, this my first time playing exsang it finally is simming higher
30% of 28 seconds
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
Someone said this works for Garrote.
https://wago.io/ByPIbMmR7
anyone around willing to see if I'm playing the rotation alright? I feel I could probably pool for TB better https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wb2G7hM6xc9rF4VZ#fight=3&type=damage-done&source=6&start=751079&end=1025978
pug shadhar kill, died at 4:31 due to monkaS kill
going to be trialling in a new guild this coming week, need to fix any glaring mistakes
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
assa bad for m+ 🙃 https://gyazo.com/eec0b0a75859748b4b47c23bbacf53b5
@static glacier held vanish for 30ish seconds-ended up losing a cast. couple of tbs could be planned around just a little better.
@vast forum what dungeon is that
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
@wet ruin UR22
3eb?
actually pretty big
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
what corruption are you running
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
running 2x TA2 (485 daggers), honed mind 3, expedient3 and severe1
hm. how is expedient in m+
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
yeah, I catch myself doing that - what's the play though
do I lose a tick or two
for the extra env
idk, i don't have better options
I see
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
Is it worth getting that last env in with less than 5cp?
Wait guys just started playing 8.3 after quitting in 8.0, do I have to farm Eternal Palace for Condensed Life Force?
@opal minnow I am pretty sure people ran the sims for that and reaplying during tb was better
@wet ruin i could run TD but i don't like it on assa
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
@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
28/11 was 6 months ago?
yeah, I'm looking more now, seems to be a mixed consensus
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
Anyone able to help me out with Condensed Life Force?
that moment simply having some gear would let me scuff my rotation 😦
so it wasn't added to the default apl cuz it wasn't extensively tested
it shouldn't really happen all that much
tbh i was also splitting hairs when i mentioned it-so its not a big deal
the vanish thing was the major fix
either way, it shouldn't be too difficult to work on, vanish was just a
from me
kek
ty for help boys
pray for me, apparently 2 other rogue trials
@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
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
oof
he also has 5k score and i only have 3.8
gonna bonus roll the second one
we also take buyers that get the weapon sooo I am nowhere near the front line for it 😄
