And at that time SS was way stronger than it is now.

#

And only worked in cleave.

#

And was bad

prime void
#

Sayitback is the homie haha

lone junco
#

Probably gotta be a champ with that ankh totem.

#

I just hate running no Rez. Cause we are sloppy bitches.

#

I'd level engineering on my hpal, but I got down to like 800g on him this week. Lol

static glacier
#

were the envenoms chunky atleast?

lone junco
#

I have up on coins since they took away the AH app.

#

@static glacier no. Everything is ilvl scaled.

shy wolf
#

does the visions of perfection proc for vendetta activate nothing personal aswell, or is it only when you cast the cooldown itself?

lone junco
#

Point being,. You could easily run a non env rotation. But they didn't let the numbers scale off a fatter weapon anymore.

#

At that time the CT hit component was higher. So you could spend on that.

tropic ocean
#

@shy wolf it procs np as well

#

thats y u usually stack it with 3 np

shy wolf
#

awesome! thanks a bunch!

junior flume
#

Has anyone checked how much up time you can have on vendetta if you stack ET and use VoP?`Don't think it's functional, just for the fun of it 😛

heavy forum
#

So is farming echoes fast or slow?

static glacier
junior flume
#

If you have keys for visions, then it's rather fast

static glacier
#

@heavy forum fast, arenas probably the fastest way that's repeatable, visions are fastest but generally timegated

heavy forum
#

Ok nice

tropic ocean
#

if you are a guy that plays m+ a lot they just come naturally by the content you do anyway

#

but most efficient as said is arena/visions

#

I farmed pretty much all in m+ as I like to do it anyway so it didn't feel like a grind

sweet rampart
#

Got a potential dumb question - why is our opener garotte > rupture > garotte? Wouldn’t it line up better to go garotte > garotte > rupture so they are both ticking for about 21 seconds? Refresh would line up better at the end of vendetta for the vanish > garotte > garotte

grizzled trail
#

Elaborate planning

limber lion
#

Actually it's because of pandemic windows not EP.

#

The max duration on rupture is 26 seconds with 6 combo points. If you refresh the rupture again, you lengthen the duration by 10 seconds.

#

You want to have both garrote and rupture at the maximum pandemic durations. So instead of 18s garrote and 26s rupture, you get a 24s garrote and 36s rupture Exsang

#

The bleed effects snap accordingly to EP when you use finishers, you don't need to actually use the ability during the EP window to get the effect.

sweet rampart
#

Ok i am messing something up in my opener then. Hmmm

limber lion
#

It's pretty much just garrote - rupture - garrote - vendetta - muti - rupture - exsang

sweet rampart
#

When i open, with garotte > rupture > garotte > vendetta > TB > evenem, my rupture is only ticking for 8-10 seconds, i have to refresh it at somepoint in the vendetta window, where as if i got gorotte > garrote > rupture, i have a good 20+ seconds of nothing but envenom spam during vendetta

#

So i am screwing something up with when to refresh rupture

scarlet sequoia
#

thats because its the wrong way to open

limber lion
#

You're using TB which changes the rotation completely.

sweet rampart
#

Yeah the guide doesn’t say when exactly i should refresh that 10 second rupture 😦

onyx hedge
#

Nelf just better now for alliance?

limber lion
#

Did you try simming your traits? SS traits usually fall off with TB and Assas with TB tend to go for Double Dose traits instead. SS works better with exsang + loads of haste.

onyx hedge
#

since exsang

cobalt pelican
#

yes

onyx hedge
#

yeah, ima race change, its just better for raiding pvp and M+ now

#

over human on my orgue

cobalt pelican
#

human isn't bad either with the amount of secondaries we have now

#

but generally nelf will still be like

#

+.5%~

onyx hedge
#

yeah

cobalt pelican
#

give or take a bit

sweet rampart
#

I will have to run some sims, my gear is only 446, i don’t think i had the great traits, i think i had 1 double dose, but it also had nothing personal, so i had to get that one over DD, then the others were not good and a SS or two 😦

cobalt pelican
#

do you even have a single ss on your gear

#

sounds like you're trying to use ss opener without the trait

sweet rampart
#

I have two of them

cobalt pelican
#

then the rupture will generally be refreshed just after tb ends at some point during pandemic

#

the extra tick of empowered garrote is more valuable than the alternative

sweet rampart
#

And garotte is empowered because we use it again with EP up?

cobalt pelican
#

dots are dynamic

#

doesn't really matter

#

they'll get buffed by elaborate planning whenever it goes up

#

just generally potentially getting an extra envenom inside vendetta (this isn't guaranteed) is less valuable than the guaranteed extra garrote tick and if you're still playing vigor, cp loss

sweet rampart
#

Okie dokie, i was just curious. It doesn’t feel great popping vendetta > TB > Envenom > and then build to do another rupture haha. Just wanted to make sure i wasn’t doing anything wrong with how to refresh it.

cobalt pelican
#

you'll never need to refresh the rupture inside tb

#

your first rupture is 16 seconds

sweet rampart
#

And when I vanish i don't need to worry about redoing rupture right? Vanish > garotte > garotte is it's own thing, don't need to focus on making sure i refresh the rupture before vendetta is up after the vanish garottes?

lone junco
#

@sweet rampart just refresh in pandemic when not using exang.

sweet rampart
#

Ok, i am going to run some sims and make sure i should still be using TB, thanks for the help 🙂

lone junco
#

What ilvl are you?

sour citrus
#

what is the expedient I am seeing you guys talk about? I don't understand. please explain...thank you

lone junco
#

@sour citrus just the R3 haste % gain. They are trying to get a billion haste by multiplying lust and procs and as a result very high energy gains.

lime edge
#

what are the 3 bis azerite pieces for mythic+

lone junco
#

Do you have enough TR to just buy what you want? Or do you have perfect gear just not know how to play rogue?

lime edge
#

what

#

im just asking for the 3 best pieces

#

im assuming is 3x SS and 3x Echoing blades

#

but dont know what pieces exactly

lone junco
#

Got it.

sour citrus
#

@lone junco ah, got it. Thank you.

sweet rampart
#

@lone junco 446

prime void
#

3ss 3eb

#

is indeed

#

bis

lone junco
#

Yeah. The SS EB is the traits. Just the exact pieces was a new question.

echo mantle
#

So whats with this Vision of Perfection build I see popping up. I dont see any pins about it or anything. Anyone got more info? Looks interesting

lone junco
#

@sweet rampart that's kind of low to worry about the difference. But you can def sim. Then decide which you like to play better.

sweet rampart
#

@lone junco yeah they are within about 600 damage of each other, not sure it matters but TB is still slightly higher.

#

is blood mallet updated sim wise for azerite traits?

#

it has SS pretty low on there is why i ask

lime edge
#

isnt SS better with exsang build

shut garnet
#

in raid probably

#

in m+ im pretty sure you still play TB

sweet rampart
#

I still sim higher with TB

sour citrus
#

@lone junco where do you buy the expedient spell? from Mother? it isn't showing for me. theres crit, mastery and vers

lime edge
#

it ran out

#

it changed on friday

#

or satruday

#

idk

#

youll probably see it again in 4 weeks

sour citrus
#

ah

tropic ocean
#

@shut garnet not exclusively played exsang pretty much for all score keys now

shut garnet
#

so you mean

#

you play exang for all keys with 3ss3eb?

tropic ocean
#

I did yeah

shut garnet
#

how come it switched from tb

tropic ocean
#

Not 3ss3eb though

shut garnet
#

havent played it a while is all LUL

crimson palm
#

raz how much formless void uptime are you simming/

shut garnet
#

what with?

tropic ocean
#

I play 3ss 3hod or 3ss 2hod 1bbi in kr/tos/siege/ws

arctic cloud
#

So for everyone that missed the 12% haste, its best to wait 4 weeks and try again?

cobalt pelican
#

i doubt anyone is changing formless from the base 90%

tropic ocean
#

i also tried 0eb in atal and the overall was very similar

shut garnet
#

what about every other dg

tropic ocean
#

And for exsang just figured u can melt hard mobs

shut garnet
#

like freehold toldagor

tropic ocean
#

Rest just 3ss3eb

shut garnet
#

so u still play TB when u go 3ss3eb ye?

tropic ocean
#

Nope

#

Havent played tb since 2.6k rating or so

shut garnet
#

interesting

#

what are ur stats looking like when u go 3ss3eb

#

still 40crit rest mastery?

tropic ocean
#

In td i tried 3ss3hod but didnt came to proper conclusion if its worth

#

I have close to 45% crit and rest in mastery versa

#

Versa pulls ahead in aoe in big pull/trash dungeon with 3eb

willow pulsar
#

Which corruptions are you using right now?

tropic ocean
#

Td 18+12% + Strikethrough 4%

#

But will change to crit% crit amp once they are up

willow pulsar
#

I hate td on sin so much

tropic ocean
#

same

#

But gotta use what you own

willow pulsar
#

I use 2 severs III, strike III, honed mind and gw for cleave dungeons and 2 td for aoe

tropic ocean
#

will see how severe strike stack will do

#

Definetely will be way more consistent than td

#
  • never need to care about ninjapulling in tol dagor 😂
willow pulsar
#

For cleave dungs i don't own hod pieces, so i use 2 clockwork hearth and 1ttk along with 3ss

#

Sniping for gor gorak tul but no luck yet

tropic ocean
#

im torn between saving or keep gambling

#

Only missing helm

#

but guess saving is smarter to def have it for next fortified bursting week

willow pulsar
#

Which helm?

crimson palm
#

i got it on first roll kekw

arctic cloud
#

SS and NP on gorak tul shoudlers ye?

tropic ocean
#

no

#

ss bbi

#

For dungeon

#

For raid depends if u have raden helm or not

#

@willow pulsar ss eb one

#

I still rock 465 😂

willow pulsar
#

I was lucky to get even 4 480 ss eb pieces. In a row xP

#

I can even play subwannabe build with 3 eb 2ttk 1ss

tropic ocean
#

would personally never play non 3 ss

fluid bough
#

Does anyone have any suggestions for guides to keybinds for rogue? I’m finding that I am having a hard time fitting them all in.

willow pulsar
#

Get mmo mouse and maybe a keyboard with additional macrokeys

tropic ocean
#

^

#

heres mine

#

basically all hard to reach binds are bound to mouse

crimson palm
#

assa has almost no binds lmao

#

compared to average of other classes

strange python
#

Do you guys use weekly or nightly when simming?

tropic ocean
#

night

fluid bough
#

I played demon hunter and guardian Druid before this

strange python
#

ty

glacial crypt
#

How much does playing DS change how you play, compared to running Vigor?

tropic ocean
#

0

#

except finishing at 5-6 instead of 4-5

glacial crypt
#

ty ❤️

tropic ocean
#

might have some more pooling with very low haste, but I used it with 1? expedient for nzoth progress and had no issues

willow pulsar
#

Ds on m+ is fun, you do 3 garrotes on pack and prey for venomous wounds proc xD

strange python
#

Deeper feels nice on bl

tropic ocean
#

yeah I stopped using it for m+ too

#

dunno if its better but with my 6 or 7% haste I have

#

its awkward
😄

strange python
#

How can you play assassin with that

tropic ocean
#

in m+?

#

in aoe u have 0 energy issues

#

and on bosses its okayish

strange python
#

Yes I couldn't get used to low haste with assassin in m+

tropic ocean
#

well u spread 4-5 bleed in aoe

#

to have infinite energy

willow pulsar
#

But 3 gareotes and ct leaves you with very low energy

#

On opener

tropic ocean
#

and for boss, well I play vita so that usually carries boss energy rec

#

with exsang its already better than tb energy wise

willow pulsar
#

For single target DS sims like 132 dps more than vigor

#

For me

tropic ocean
#

well if u dont like the playstyle/starving with it

#

wouldnt care about 132dps

#

I already stopped playing font+coral when it was still simming +4xx dps for me

#

cuz cba

#

😄

hushed maple
#

guys

#

imagine

strange python
#

Coral sims a lot better for me but I don't see the results from the sim

hushed maple
#

doing such logs

strange python
#

is it a bit simbait?

tropic ocean
#

in m+?

strange python
#

single target

tropic ocean
#

nope

#

its super good

strange python
#

I am using gladiators badge just now, but with coral I never see the big return even on second burst

tropic ocean
#

whats the issue with the logs? except bad garrote refreshs

#

and what does rio have to do with it? :^)

lone junco
#

Yikes. Did be not even vanish with MA

#

But no Io doesn't mean they have a good ST rotation.

tropic ocean
#

theres some flaws with essence/vendetta usage too

#

think it would be a better idea to help the guy than make fun of him

hushed maple
#

just the pot

#

alone

#

is giga cringe

#

xDX

#

I couldnt join the raid

#

cause he got the spot

#

xD

outer lotus
#

Seems like you are jealous of his rio or something? Like what does that have to do with anything

lone junco
#

Pots are insignificant compared to the opener. But sounds like you are trolling.

hushed maple
#

but yeah I will help him

#

^^

outer lotus
#

Looking at his rio he plays outlaw exclusively

tropic ocean
#

I guess if I played outlaw in raid

#

I'd suck some as well

#

😄

#

but since u can pad so good with it its not as visible

lone junco
#

One of our guys is DH main. Took like 3 whole minutes to learn the m+ ggg rotation. Bet he would be dumpster in raid damage.

outer lotus
#

Dh is the same for aoe and single target

clever dagger
#

is exang build now the new meta build for raid or can i still use tb ?

strange python
#

what ever sims best for your gear

#

tb still simming better than exang for me just now even with expedient and like 44% haste

lone junco
#

When you compare the two you can decide based on the difference. Eventually the diff is small enough to be negligable.

clever dagger
#

wow u got 44% haste ? im at 20% xD is that what i should get higher?

#

ye i will sim it and look at it

hushed maple
#

gotta be honest

#

if exhang wont sim much higher

#

probably not worth the struggle

distant lava
#

struggle ?

hushed maple
#

well it aint a struggle

lone junco
#

Struggle? It's not harder to use than TB

distant lava
#

it's way easier to play than TB

hushed maple
#

but in comparison to tb

lone junco
#

And MA is dumb.

hushed maple
#

yeah MA is not a favorite of mine either ^^

lone junco
#

TB requires uptime. So you don't delay. Exang is super strong at the open and vanish.

hushed maple
#

exhang is NEVER easier to play than tb

strange python
#

Do you guys just pop vanish before an envenom with ma?

hushed maple
#

tb is just pressing it on cd

#

dafuq is hard about that

outer lotus
#

thats not optimal TB play though

hushed maple
#

it is

#

just not in a vendetta window

outer lotus
#

you dont wanna refresh dots in it, use it at high CP and pool energy before

lone junco
#

TB is constant pressure. Exang is burst. But you do you.

hushed maple
#

but whatever my Rogue is on ice for now since I have lots of fun on my mage ^^

#

looking forward to Shadowlands tho

tropic ocean
#

@lone junco i started to twink dh this season, pushed him to somewhat over 2.8k and I stilldo so much things wrong

hushed maple
#

kinda hope for Sub to be meta

#

never played that spec

clever dagger
#

i use tb after vendetta or before?

tropic ocean
#

guess until u hit the key tier where stuff actually 1shots 22/23ish? its just about how much time u sink ingame

#

to pushrio

hushed maple
#

after

clever dagger
#

okay just for claryfy 😄

hushed maple
#

@tropic ocean last week inflation I guess

#

^^

#

god I wish I would've had time for pushing last week >.<

tropic ocean
#

well I push score every week so but yeah last week was very good

#

think I pushed 250ish score or so

hushed maple
#

I pushed 2 keys I had on 19 to 20 and 2 keys from 18 to 19

#

lmao

outer lotus
#

i pushed from 3,3k to almost 3,8k lul

tropic ocean
#

went from 3,2 to 3.4

hushed maple
#

had 2,68k and pushed to a whopping 2,75xD

tropic ocean
#

after depleting 2x 22 by few secs due to people just trolling I stopped playing

#

😄

hushed maple
#

yeah there were alot of pepega people

#

but ofc that would be the case

#

in such a stupidly easy week

#

the biggest gimps of my guild who fail to dodge Shadhar zones, got 2.4k rio

tropic ocean
#

its very time intense for me to pug higher keys already since not playing outlaw

#

and cba to sink even more time in than already

#

😄

hushed maple
#

well yeah high keys as assa

#

surely aint easy

neat sable
#

assa isnt that bad during tyrannical is it ?

tropic ocean
#

its not

hushed maple
#

it snot no

#

but still

#

less utility

tropic ocean
#

and particularly not at my key levels

#

but u just get declined very often

#

or kicked when they inspect u

outer lotus
#

gotta find a tank that appreciates you as sin and you're probably good

hushed maple
#

nah

tropic ocean
#

but yeah I guess can go 4k or so with next push week and new corruptions

#

funny enough I made the experience the higher the players exp the less they care

#

time dsome nice keys with 4k+ ppl that didnt care

outer lotus
#

yea

tropic ocean
#

and even said "i wont chain as much dw"

hushed maple
#

I really hate playing my outlaw of tyrannical weeks

#

not gonna lie

tropic ocean
#

generally the better players I played with, the more chill non toxic the attitude

#

played few days ago with naladra and rads was super fun

#

and learned so much shit

outer lotus
#

its the people that are at like medium r.io that think they have to follow the meta to a T

hushed maple
#

the absolute worst rio playrs are 3k when it comes to attitude

neat sable
#

I'm main outlaw in m+ and assa in raid, sometimes i just want to try assa during tyrannical, outlaw is sooo bad single target, but i don't have the 3x suffocating and x3 Fan of knives so ...

atomic spoke
#

Shadhar fight, is there anything other than shadowstep to deal with the slow?

outer lotus
#

low people dont care, high people dont care

hushed maple
#

Cloak I guess

#

^^

atomic spoke
#

don't think it works

hushed maple
#

hm I found it to work but maybe our pala just freedomed me

#

in that second

#

dunno

outer lotus
#

outlaw and grappling hook lul

ornate lodge
#

Cloak doesnt work

outer lotus
#

vanish makes the blob choose another person so thats really bad too

hushed maple
#

xD

atomic spoke
#

hmmm

hushed maple
#

sounds good to me

atomic spoke
#

vanish could be an option

#

rather somebody else who can deal with it

hushed maple
#

but they wont be prepared

verbal sparrow
#

I doubt it but is alchemy trinket at least useable or not worth even thinking about at all ? 😄

hushed maple
#

probably

outer lotus
#

exactly

#

like they see "ok its not on me" and then 2 seconds later its on them and the blob is already half way there

tropic ocean
#

VaughnToday at 5:49 PM
vanish makes the blob choose another person so thats really bad too

NOT FOR ME

#

😄

atomic spoke
#

i guess it's best to just rely on freedom

hushed maple
#

jup

#

or get as far away as you can

#

to keep the damage as minimal as possible

#

^^

atomic spoke
#

yup

hushed maple
#

if people die

tropic ocean
#

monk can give u that shit as well

hushed maple
#

they sleeped

tropic ocean

tigers lust its called i think

#

yep

uneven summit
#

Anybody with some tips and tricks for Nzoth mythic, could be anything. Right now it seems outlaw out plays assa, but i wanna play my main specc 😦

near coyote
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
uneven summit
#

We´re at chamber phase, so haven´t seen it all yet

tropic ocean
#

focus on boss dmg as assa

#

unless you are assigned to psychus

uneven summit
#

im in interrupt order for psychus yea

tropic ocean
#

in chamber phase theres not much to do group with raid, defuse the bomb you are assigned to and move out with purple circle when you have it

#

for psychus interrupt use focus kick macro and focus him makes it easier with all small adds and shit on ground

uneven summit
#

Yeah true true, allready am, really feels like outlaw is so much better down there, but i think when we get closer to kill switching assa might be wroth

#

worth

#

Any specific trait-setup better for nzutti

tropic ocean
#

exsang build if u have the azerite for it

#

3 ss 3 hod or 3 ss 2 hod 1 bbi

#

and for downstairs depends on ur raid if u dont lack dmg on psychus

#

might as well use cd on boss instead of psychus

uneven summit
#

big truee

tropic ocean
#

the higher your boss dmg is the easier the fight will get

#

at a certain point u wont play/barely play any mechanics after chamber

#

so can already prepare for that

uneven summit
#

Exsang 3xss 3x hod - blood?

tropic ocean
#

y

uneven summit
#

thanks for the tips budd ❤️

tropic ocean
#

anytime

loud brook
#

What is the average dps for a mythic nzoth fight for sin running ss

tropic ocean
#

highly depends on what you are assigned

#

theres basically sins that just dps boss

#

and others are assigned to psychus cd depending on raid setup

#

the 2nd obviously higher dps

loud brook
#

I see

near coyote
#

Anyone have a suggestion for a weak aura for just bleeds and combo points? All the ones I can find include legit every single spell

raven wyvern
#

i have a question about my rotation if anyone can help.. so opener is G,R,G,M,R,Exang, V, blood... but when it comes to using vanish do i do a standard garrote so it gives time for my first exang rupture to go full duration? or do i vanish and get empowered garrote as soon as it runs out?

cobalt pelican
#

just.. delete the parts you don't want?

ebon yew
#

Fresh character on a new server and coming back from a long hiatus. What are some things I should be focusing on? I have the cloak up to R5 already, but feel my iLv is still kinda... meh (420).

#

As Sin, obv.

tropic ocean
#

@raven wyvern wrong

#

garrote-rupture-garrote-vendetta-mutilate-rupture-exsang-blood-mutilate mutilate envenom

#

when ur first garrote ticked out full vanish garrote garrote

#

then hold vendetta for next vanish and repeat

raven wyvern
#

ah shit.. thanks for the help. think i just plucked my opener from thin air haha

near coyote
#

I didnt know people used exang, what made it good all of a sudden

tropic ocean
#

stat scaling

#

similar to warr, just not as potent

#

😄

lime edge
#

do u guys gear up outlaw for mythic + or just solely gear up assassin both mythic+ and st

#

?

willow mulch
#

quick question. just came back, have weapon enchants changed for assas since 8.1? can anyone give me the 2 enchants i need

currently mastery> crit>vers>haste single target

#

deadly navigation andd?

#

force multiplier?

tropic ocean
#

u need the ones that sim highest

crimson palm
tropic ocean
#

so paste ur char in raidbots tick all enchants and u good

#

@lime edge its always good to have both

#

and with corruption vendor u can just have a crit/versa set with crit dmg and crit % corruptions that will serve u both assa and outlaw in m+

crimson palm
#

outlaw is played by peasants only, assa is the master race

tropic ocean
#

reasons to play outlaw:

#

thunderfury transmog

topaz valley
#

How do you do Garotte Rupture Garotte when you open with condense? my subterfuge doesnt last enough

atomic obsidian
#

@near coyote use tell me when and set them up yourself

#

Super easy to do!

woeful minnow
#

the clf open means you restealth first

#

it's risky and most people don't do it

topaz valley
#

so i should only do one garotte or play blood?

#

cause clf sims higher

woeful minnow
#

no no, I mean if you clf first global, you clf at 2 then restealth then do your normal opener. that is risky and you don't do that. you can still play clf without doing that

topaz valley
#

kay

woeful minnow
#

the "normal" clf is just clf before vendetta

#

you can check like the 4th pin

red bloom
#

Hey guys, on carapace what would be more beneficial over all going NP/VoP or DD blood/clf, I've been given the hard task of tunnelling the boss since the rest of our raid has loads of add damage anyway, both sim pretty similarly so was wondering what yous think would work better in the fight

dark crag
#

Since you tunnel boss, use what sims highest for st

scarlet sequoia
#

@crimson palm 90%

stiff sable
#

.

slow tulip
#

guys i have a Q, i don't see ppl playing with deeper, except when they have exsang and SS traits

#

but the sim tells me to run it over vigor with my gear and talents

#

should i believe it and run deeper or stick with vigor

#

thx in advance

limber lion
#

Have you tried simming with exsang/ss traits? Or do you just not have the pieces for them? Also have you tried simming Subterfuge instead of MA?

slow tulip
#

ye, did all that

#

still this is the top sim

#

by like 1K +

limber lion
#

But looks like you have enough haste to run DS isntead of Vigor, but either not enough to use Exsang or your SS traits are low so it doesn't justify using Exsang

slow tulip
#

im with 60% base haste atm

Tbh, most of the fights in Ny'alotha are not patchwork fights. Have you simmed Cleave Add or something similar as well?

slow tulip
#

im simiong just for nzoth and sub 40 corruption since we are progressing it

#

so i sim for 40 sec, 2 mins and 5

#

all of those prefer deeper over vigor

limber lion
#

I think it's just the fact that you have enough haste to run DS. Vigor loses value the more haste you get

slow tulip
#

sounds logical

#

thank you for the input mate

#

was very helpful

#

🙂

man im farming bote on alliance....let me tell you

i am ded

strange python
#

guys after exanguinate I have to wait till both bleeds drops for refresh?

tranquil marsh
#

you dont need blood for enemy major

strange python
#

or just refresh normally?

tranquil marsh
#

use condensed

#

you can more value

distant lava
#

@strange python you wait for them to drop, I guess you can refresh rupture with 1 or 2 secs left

#

you absolutly do not refresh them normally

strange python
#

Ok 🙂

#

Thanks buddy

distant lava
#

no problem man ComfyBear

#

hey guys can i post a picture in here to ask how my ui looks? I am not sure if i need to change anything or not

cobalt pelican
#

aren't you the only person who can answer that

fluid bough
#

idk what im doing lol

cobalt pelican
#

but there's not really a ban on ui pictures so if you really want to go ahead i guess

fluid bough
tropic ocean
#

ur ui only needs to fit your playstyle

#

noone elses

cobalt pelican
#

looks fine to me, do you use nameplates for bleed timers?

rose lichen
#

Are there any more encompassing guides anyone can recommend other than the tagged one? New to BFA and previously I played combat/sub, so, I’m not familiarized with anything sin related.

When you're playing Exang with SS traits, how do you manage your CD's when you need to do the Vanish at 2 minutes of fight ? You do Vendetta - Vanish - garrot - garrot - rupture - exsang - blood ?

minor thicket
#

Would it be beneficial to switch to goblin

#

Considering they have a haste buff

tropic ocean
#

races are not really a hard dps difference

#

pick the one with most utility for ur contet

#

or the one where u like optics

#

@untold stream with 2nd vendetta u do same as in opener

#

unless ur rupture is already refreshed then u just do gg r exsang blood

strange python
#

@lime edge why would you think so?

lime edge
#

cause weapon dps is my biggest weight

tropic ocean
#

yeah mh ilvl is ur biggest dps up generally

strange python
#

its biggest 99.9% of the time

#

doesnt mean your weapons suck

#

also, why sim stat weights?

untold stream
#

@tropic ocean Difference between opener and mid fight is that dot's are already applied, that's why I was wondering in what order do I use vendetta/vanish then, but it seems that what I wrote looks correct then, thanks

tropic ocean
#

it depends on how your dots are on the target when your stuff comes off cd

#

you want as freshly as possible refreshed rupture and full duration buffed garrote before exsang

faint harness
#

ive got a 465 GCB, supposed to be good for exang builds

#

but its simming like garbo

#

anyone getting the same, is the gcb for exang thing an outdated trinket

north basalt
#

Is it worth running Purification Protocol as a major in visions?

lime edge
#

@faint harness how many expedients do u hyave

faint harness
#

not many

#

i have 2x T3, all i could get this vendor

manic harness
#

So is there technically a BiS now?

vast forum
#

technically yes

arctic token
#

alright ive got a question after simming myself and looking at guides. im 467 sin rogue at 38 14 39 6 for stats atm. im sim something like 14k higher when i use iris as main essence compared to BoE. that is heavy add cleave. as i like m plus better than raiding. i know BoE is is better for burst with single target and vendetta. i was just wondering iris sims sooo much higher.. ive gone on the aoe dummies and its not that huge of a difference. also the top sin rogues alll seem to use BoE as main. is it just becaue this week is tyrannical. this is my first post sorry if its too long

rancid bobcat
#

iris just does a lot of damage

#

you maybe also dont have the right traits/talents to take advantage of blood of the enemy

arctic token
#

i run the shrouded build

rancid bobcat
#

gear makes blood of the enemy better because it enhances your abilities, while iris just does raw damage on its own irrespective of gear

arctic token
#

they guys i look at on raider io also run about 50 percent crit and mastery.. im just not that high yet

rancid bobcat
#

blood of the enemy is good with fan of knives/echoing blades

arctic token
#

yeah i know that

rancid bobcat
#

so yeah you have low gear, so iris will probably do better

arctic token
#

i didnt think 467 was terribly low. but yeah def not as high as the top end guys

limber lion

Opening with CLF feels kinda weird with SS/Exsang build. CLF, Stealth and prepot into garrote. Like 4 buttons to press in less than a second, haven't had this many buttons to press at once since they nerfed GCD's in BFA :' )

untold stream
#

IIRC sub opening was pretty button smashing before GCD nerf ^^

limber lion
#

Exactly. Now everything is just so slow with everything on the gcd 😦

royal lantern
#

the gcd change didnt change much for rogue

#

what are you about

#

outlaw suffers the most

#

and even on outlaw is slightly annyoing at best

#

what changed with the gcd change

#

the 3min cd is now on the gcd aaaaaand....?

#

did i miss something for sub?

lime edge
#

idk what to do rn for gear

#

this is annoying

royal lantern
#

content

untold stream
#

Symbol of death is off the gcd, so nothing much I guess, I thought they gave it a GCD but they didn't

royal lantern
#

did on the beta

untold stream
#

Since we can chose our stuff now, do we mainly take pieces with haste/crit then, and kinda discard the rest ?

royal lantern
#

stack expedient

royal lantern
#

do your own keys

#

or

lime edge
#

im debating saying, screw my outlaw

patent topaz
#

people arent going to invite you unless you have 2k score or like 475 gear

royal lantern
#

GET A GUILD

patent topaz
#

for random pugs

lime edge
#

i am in a guild

#

i have a 13 fh

royal lantern
#

stop pugging unless you really cant do it otherwise and do stuff with guildmates

untold stream
#

@royal lantern Yeah, stack expedient, but I need to put the expedient on a piece of stuff x)

royal lantern
#

always better and saves you a migraine

#

and the hell has outlaw too do with that

#

just play sin for 15keys if you prefer the spec

#

class/spec differencec in m+ dont matter until you do shit like 22 or higher

lime edge
#

guess ill just play sin

#

i dont even know how to play outlaw tbh

#

i have to use hekili

royal lantern
#

then dont play it

#

its a 15key

loud silo
#

how much haste do you need to run deeper stratagem instead of vigor?

lime edge
#

probably a lot

royal lantern
#

you could dps as restro shaman and time it with a halfway decent group

lime edge
#

FINE

#

youve convinced me

#

time to sim my ass with outlaw azerites, lul

royal lantern
#

@loud silo sim it tbh

#

deeper just plays different cus you do finishers at differnt cp ammounts

#

always 2x mutilate etc...

rigid eagle
#

RAISE YOUR EYES TO THE SKY AND OBSERVE

#

i mean hi guys

#

i've been wondering if any exsang playstyle is still viable

lime edge
#

exsang is better with high haste

rigid eagle
#

so like 20% isn't gonna cut it right

real solar
#

no lol

rigid eagle
#

fking rip lol

#

but also, would esxang work in a raid setting

lime edge
#

y wouldnt it?

#

exsang build is not good for aoe at all

#

its just st

#

afaik

rigid eagle
#

like toxic blade is still buffing double dose without vanish, but exsang on a non-buffed garrote sounds pretty sad

vast forum
#

why would exsang be bad for aoe?

lime edge
#

because u dont go crit

#

so no echoing blades

rigid eagle
#

wait, not at all?

lime edge
#

im talking for mythic+

#

basically

rigid eagle
#

exsang doesn't use crit???

lime edge
#

well it does

#

but like

#

not as much as a mythic+ build

#

mainly haste

vast forum
#

that's some serious misinformation you're spreading

lime edge
#

ok

rigid eagle
#

also, is crimson tempest just bad even with exsang

real solar
#

CT isn't bad for MT

#

M+*

lime edge
#

ct is used in m+

rigid eagle
#

sexy

#

but again, in a raid setting

lime edge
#

wdym in a raid setting

rigid eagle
#

would you just exsang a normal garrote

tropic ocean
#

exsang is not reliant on haste in m+

#

its very viable

rigid eagle
#

like extended single target fights

real solar
#

Yes you would

tropic ocean
#

and it doesn't necessarily need a buffed garrote

#

it just doubles ur bleed dps for the duration

#

which is very good to down prio targets

rigid eagle
#

yeah but doubling up a normal bleed seems much weaker than toxic blade right

tropic ocean
#

seems

real solar
#

just sim yourself

lime edge
#

just sim

#

rofl

rigid eagle
#

true

tropic ocean
#

u can sim which does more dps in a 40s duration

#

😉

lime edge
#

the sims are 5 minute fights

#

doesnt matter if at x point y does more dmg

rigid eagle
#

but yesterday my sim told me that TD3 increases my single target dps by 5k

real solar
#

prob because you have trash corruptions

tropic ocean
#

which is very likely possible?

rigid eagle
#

and im pretty sure that's bullshit

lime edge
#

whats ur gear look like

real solar
#

he said he has 20% haste

rigid eagle
#

sec

lime edge
#

and also

#

if it says td3 is better for single target

rigid eagle
lime edge
#

then its better for single target

#

lol

real solar
#

yeah, those stats are awful

rigid eagle
#

rip

tropic ocean
#

????????????

loud silo
#

on tyrannical week should i run sin?

tropic ocean
#

are u a math genius or how do you tell his stats are awful

lime edge
#

he has like no stat

#

they are pretty bad

tropic ocean
#

???????????

lime edge
#

i have higher than him in almost all of them

#

lol

#

except verse

tropic ocean
#

because u are higher itemlevel probably?

#

🤔

lime edge
#

im literally not

rigid eagle
#

i got a ton of versatility for no reason

tropic ocean
#

so more sockets

lime edge
#

thats my point

loud silo
#

on tyrannical week should i run sin?

tropic ocean
#

🤷

#

@loud silo run whats ur best

real solar
#

@loud silo run what you want

lime edge
rigid eagle
#

yeah

#

versatility is fucking me over

faint harness
#

5% aint much

real solar
#

post your sim

tropic ocean
#

u do realize that the % values wont tell u if u have more or less stats than him

rigid eagle
#

i got it on like 2/3 of my gears

real solar
#

@rigid eagle

tropic ocean
#

but the amount of stats flat

rigid eagle
#

@real solar

lime edge
#

and i have 1 socket

tropic ocean
#

cuz obviously it takes more versa to up 1% than it takes mastery to up 1%

real solar
#

I wanna see if I can help you not run td

lime edge
#

well duh

#

thats why i said except vers

#

i literally have higher on every other

tropic ocean
#

yeah so

#

but its % values

lime edge
#

and vers isnt even that good

#

but ok

tropic ocean
#

doesnt mean u have "more" stast than him

rigid eagle
#

@real solar im not running td anymore lol, got a cara dagger last night

lime edge
#

he doesnt have "op verse"

#

at all

tropic ocean
#

idk what you are saying

lime edge
#

u really dont

tropic ocean
#

but u dont have much more stat than him

#

cuz he has more vers

#

and vers takes more flat stat

#

than the other stats

#

to increase the %

lime edge
#

citizens

#

whats ur verse stat

#

hover over it

#

its probably 1k

#

im guessing

faint harness
#

less

tropic ocean
#

and telling his stats are bad or good is not possible

#

without his sim

#

cuz u dont magically know his stat weights

#

anyway

real solar
#

his vers is like 800

#

to be at 10%

rigid eagle
#

800

lime edge
#

yea probably

rigid eagle
#

yeh

lime edge
#

thats my point

#

he has 400 verse over me

#

what corruptions do u have

#

equipped

rigid eagle
#

2 crit dmg

#

1 % crit

tropic ocean
#

and 10% versa

rigid eagle
#

1 carapace dagger

tropic ocean
#

is 900 versa rating

#

w/o vers corruption

#

btw

#

+-

buoyant ridge
#

hi guys, do you know the soft cap of the various stats?

lime edge
#

u just sim

#

no cap

real solar
#

900 versa rating is 10.59%

#

he's closer to 800 than 900

rigid eagle
#

812 versa

lime edge
tropic ocean
#

just do a sim and post it here

rigid eagle
#

i don't have the extra little things at the bottom lol

tropic ocean
#

🤷

real solar
#

Just sim for us Citizens

lime edge
#

oh wait, prob an addon

#

nvm

tropic ocean
#

@real solar and yeah I forgot one vers corruption

real solar
#

so ausr and shax can stop fighting

rigid eagle
#

I got 2 rank 2 strikethrough, one severe 3, one carapace dagger

lime edge
#

damn lucky

#

i still havent gotten dagger

#

riperino

rigid eagle
#

i didnt grab expedient 3

#

because im fking inbred

lime edge
#

lul

rigid eagle
#

and i now hate everything

real solar
#

it's okay, it'll come back

#

once you get more gear

lime edge
#

yea

rigid eagle
#

yeah in like 2 months

lime edge
#

it just means ull be able to buy a bunch of em at once

real solar
#

a month

lime edge
#

1 month

rigid eagle
#

yikes still feels like a year

lime edge
#

realistically, u dont lose out

#

in a way

rigid eagle
#

and i REALLY hate the whole poison theme

#

really wanna play exsang lol

lime edge
#

yo same

rigid eagle
#

imma go sim real quick

lime edge
#

but my haste too low, T_T

buoyant ridge
#

u just sim
@lime edge thx

rigid eagle
#

btw is strikethrough even good

lime edge
#

yes

#

its decent

rigid eagle
#

i got 2 rank 2 during the expedient rotation

lime edge
#

rofl

#

ur trolling

rigid eagle
#

im just

#

really not smart

#

xD

lime edge
#

xd

tropic ocean
#

should've waited for r3

rigid eagle
#

also im mostly a M+ guy so i wanted to build more crit than haste

tropic ocean
#

but still good for m+

#

so not total loss

lime edge
#

blood mallet updated with nerfed gush

#

expedient pog

rigid eagle
#

ah shit

#

i lost 1.3k dmg on sim

lime edge
#

how

rigid eagle
#

but rn im running triple double dose

#

and then simming with exsang

tropic ocean
#

can u just post ur sim

rigid eagle
#

so im surprised i didnt lose more xD

lime edge
#

post it

real solar
#

post the link sir

rigid eagle
#

uuh

lime edge
#

thats not a link kind sir

tropic ocean
#

the link

tropic ocean
#

and yeah with exsang u want to sim subterfuge

#

not master assassin

rigid eagle
#

oh true

lime edge
#

subterfuge is better normally anyways

sturdy python
#

Youre only running 19 corruption?

lime edge
#

..

tropic ocean
#

sim topgear

#

and post

lime edge
#

thats why td3 is a dps increase

#

rofl

tropic ocean
#

so we have full simc string

#

and we will fix ur dps

rigid eagle
#

lol was counting on buying another % stat corruption

real solar
#

do what @tropic ocean said

rigid eagle
#

but then they came out with nothing but versa 3

real solar
#

post the full string if you can

tropic ocean
#

well, or at least fix ur best gear setup

real solar
#

or do a topgear sim

#

so we can do it ourselves

rigid eagle
#

kk, waiting simbot line rn

shy axle
#

how do you use breath major on drest? For now i try to use it once at maxhp, then i try to snipe the 100% dmg (target dying in 2 seconds) and use it on drest if he is above 80 or under 20. So i am just using it on things that are above 80 or under 20 to not have a 45 seconds. Is that okayish?

tropic ocean
#

ye

real solar
#

ya

lime edge
#

yu

tropic ocean
#

and if u need more add dmg u do the same to adds

#

instead of drest

#

or if you wanna pad

lime edge
#

u should be simming way higher than me with that 470 shard

#

for sure

rigid eagle
#

ok so subterfuge helped my sim a bit

#

but now

#

top gear

lime edge
#

link your topgear

vast forum
#

@shy axle don't use it on drest if you don't have the ichor debuff

rigid eagle
#

how do i top gear lol

lime edge
#

click top gear

vast forum
shy axle
#

yeah ofc only with bugg

#

buff

#

thanks guys

real solar

lmao

tropic ocean
#

oh wait

rigid eagle
#

yeah its not letting me choose my character

real solar
#

???

tropic ocean
#

aaah

real solar
#

log on

rigid eagle
#

i have to copy pasta something

tropic ocean
#

go to twitch app

real solar
#

and copy the string

tropic ocean
#

install simulationcraft addon

lime edge
#

oml

#

topgear is how u sim btw

tropic ocean
#

it will let u sim all ur gear and everything u have

lime edge
#

for future reference

tropic ocean
#

way more accurate than simming ur character from armory

rigid eagle
#

okie dokie

tropic ocean
#

when u installed it restart wow and type /simc in chat

#

then copy the stuff from there to paste in top gear

zinc furnace
#

is there any "hidden" crit threshold when crit stops being top stat for gems, enchants etc with all my expedients? like 33% or such?

tropic ocean
#

no

#

depends on ur azerite/essences/traits/corruptions

#

raidbots will tell you

lime edge
#

thats just something u sim

zinc furnace
#

its so weird. i thought hasting everything is the way but no

tropic ocean
#

it is

#

if u have the appropriate gear for it

zinc furnace
#

have galecaller 475, hc raden trink. but my best simming ratio is crit/haste/mastery all evenly being around 34%

lime edge
#

haste is his 4th

tropic ocean
#

yes obviously still uhaste everything

lime edge
#

at that point

#

5th*

tropic ocean
#

but noone having access to that gear

#

will ask here anyway so

lime edge
#

yea ik

tropic ocean
#

😄

#

@zinc furnace sim top gear

#

and yes it will be like that until u stacked enough expedients and have the right azerites

lime edge
#

for exsang build its 3x ss

#

right?

tropic ocean
#

cuz u will get 1.8 or more haste per haset invest

#

yes

lime edge
#

what else

tropic ocean
#

2 hod 1 bbi

static glacier
#

did WCL get reset or something

tropic ocean
#

u can play exsang with dd as well

#

dps difference is not big but it suffers in multi target

lime edge
#

what is bbi again

tropic ocean
#

blightborne infusion

#

from gorak tuls

lime edge
#

oh that one

tropic ocean
#

the big crit proc

static glacier
#

gorak tul shoulder thing

lime edge
#

the op one

#

yea

#

thats from azerite vendor, right?

tropic ocean
#

yea

lime edge
#

time to save up 20k

#

lol

static glacier
#

anyone else have their WCL parse page all cleared with purple backgrounds?

tropic ocean
#

@lime edge or just get lucky

lime edge
#

thats not happening

tropic ocean

what addon is that for azerite

tropic ocean
#

azeritetooltip i think

real solar
#

ya it is

lime edge
#

thanks

static glacier
#

that bar layout tho

lime edge
#

how is ur bag organized like that

#

or is that by hand

rigid eagle
#

btw im back

#

what do i do with this now lol

tropic ocean
#

its nto by hand

#

adibags addon

lime edge
#

pog

#

thanks

#

do the sim again

#

with all ur gear in inv

#

or with ur bank open

last crown
#

someone mind doing a quick log review? been awhile since i raided (uldir) so trying to make sure im not fucking things up

rigid eagle
#

i barely have any extra gears lol

lime edge
#

do u sell all of ur gear or something

#

lol

distant lava
#

@static glacier yeah me too

#

not for all my chars too so idk why

rigid eagle
#

tbh i've only been playing bfa for a bit over a month lol

tropic ocean
#

which rogue are u

#

@last crown

lime edge
#

i started under a month ago

static glacier
#

I like what he's done with core CDs being below rotational stuff

rigid eagle
#

next week is gonna be my first 475 weekly chest

#

not a lot of gears saved up

lime edge
#

weird

manic harness
#

grats on that

rigid eagle
#

its mostly just shitty 450-ish stuff

#

and i disenchant those pretty much right away

lime edge
#

why

#

450 is good enough

#

for you

#

...

rigid eagle
#

really?

#

no corruptions?

lime edge
#

yea

#

depends

#

i barely sell any gear

#

unless its 100% trash

rigid eagle
#

hmm

last crown
#

uwutangclan obviously

rigid eagle
#

i thought secondary stats dont matter when they're more than 15 ilvls lower

tropic ocean
#

dont play exsang with the stuff u linked

#

play toxic blade

lime edge
#

^

last crown
#

exsang sims ahead

#

in raid buffs.

rigid eagle
#

rip lmfao

#

my exsang dreams

tropic ocean
#

and for lobstah

#

your dot uptime is bad

#

it drops in shadhar for example where it shouldnt

#

dont refresh garrote outside pandemic

#

u lose effective duration due to refreshting too early

last crown
#

i think the only times i refreshed outside that window were pre-exsang or with vanish

lime edge
#

1.7% dps swapping essences

#

and going subt

#

u rlly need more corruption tho

last crown
#

are you not supposed to refresh rupture and garrote immediately pre-exsang and then let them fall off before immediately reapplying? that used to be the way

tropic ocean
#

depends on duration

#

koji did some research

last crown
#

memory was 20+ seconds garrote and 25+ for rupture

tropic ocean
#

in tc-research

rigid eagle
#

@lime edge dang breath of dying major is op

lime edge
#

breath is the most op major imo

last crown
#

whats the tldr on when the refresh and when to le t fall then

tropic ocean
#

this ur main issues

#

u either let them drop off completely

#

or refresh too early

last crown
#

thats a long window, but you do still let exsang'd garrotes fully expire, yeah?

tropic ocean
#

u only let exsang/subter buffed fall of

#

but not for 4 or 5 sec

last crown
#

right, with only a <1 sec drop

rigid eagle
#

@lime edge but i'll still need better stats for exsang regardless of talent and essence

tropic ocean
lime edge
#

yea

#

dont play exsang

#

rn

last crown
#

i mean, it sims 1k above TB

#

in my gear

lime edge
#

talking to citizens

#

😛

last crown
#

oh

#

xD

tropic ocean
#

only let bleeds drop

lime edge
#

exsang is for higher gear

tropic ocean
#

when boss is close to dying

#

or in stuff like nzoth when theres few seconds left on dps window

last crown
#

i know i mistimed CDs on a few fights as well

#

anything else glaring?

tropic ocean
#

but generally u play fine

#

rotationwise

last crown
#

mostly was concerned because my parse was lower by bracket than flat, which has never happened to me before

#

but that might be all fucked because of corruptions

tropic ocean
#

dont care about parse % or bracket

rigid eagle
#

i see thanks

#

@lime edge

tropic ocean
#

killtimes/gear/corruptions

#

influence it a lot

#

like I have 99s where i played like blind deaf person

#

carried by corruption

last crown
#

look forward to 5 more weeks before exped comes back

tropic ocean
#

its very late in the tier and it will be hard for you to do super good parses unless big gear and fast killtimes
