i think versa also scales ur essences right?
like more versa = more dmg on big laser
I think vers is too good not to use atm yeah
@minor nebula anything but haste
haste is very bad in m+ because you already have infinite energy from bleeds
and for outlaw i assume its crit haste
different specs are different
@vapid scarab how much does fortified/tyrannical effect builds tho
you would swap traits before stats
does anyone in super high keys start running raid builds for tyrannical weeks lol
actually tho what even is our raid builds nowadays
hey i play my expedient set in keys i play sin now
define your raid buid
if your raidbuild is 3ss 2hod 1bbi, you should use it in tyrannical
especially since ct is a st talent now
also, yea, CT is a ST talent now so literally 0 differences
and traits
no
it's actually pretty good in low pull count dungeons
3ss 2hod 1bbi is great for keys where you have aoe blasters in your group
your build has 0 EB, that's far from optimal for m+
doesn't matter how many aoe blasters you have, 1 EB is going to be more efficient than something else
i guess crit vers is the same for outlaw too
i'd love to see you use 1 EB in KR/ToS/workshop
EBs are good for dungeons with big pulls
i should actually do some schimulations at some point but like
i played my raid set in kr today
and not gonna lie
outside blob room
felt pretty hot
yeap
i always run 0EB in KR/tos/workshop
even if you do more dps with EB in some situations, i'd trade that little aoe for ST any time
Ok so i played 2 dungeons now, +19 Yard and a +20 KR and on both Dungeons TD did a pretty decent Job.
Should i consider keeping Twilight on my Boots or purge it like the sims says:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hgFammDRimMqWjZh7S4U4o
idk how you feel pretty hot in KR, subcreation has that dungeon permanently on f tier lol
@cobalt pelican
TD feels good because it's visible on the dmg meters
you don't see severe/strikethrough on the dmg meters, you just see the exact same breakdown of abilities just all the numbers are higher
i guess EB climbs a bit
TD only feels good when you don't get that secret passive
where blizzard curses ur TD to only proc on single target
The screeonshot is the kr
did it proc in blob room?
if you can actually farm all of thecorruption you have in the sim i'd just cleanse it
but i mean, this is a lot of stuff including stuff not on the vendor
hey so, if i wanna swap to sub rn
The only thing im missing is 2 severe
and don't wanna wait expedient, can i just stack striketru
and i can farm that next reset easily
then pick up sev ?
there's expedient on the vendor right now
yeah, but it's rank 2 which is a ripoff compared to the 3 tbf
then again, it's not like those things are hard to come by
idk if a st / exp combo would be worth smthing
i think it's ok to have a few rank 2s and a few rank 3s right
with all these % stat corruptions
yeah it's linear so it's the same
(dps/corru speaking)
so right now my best best for a transition would be
just stacking as much expe as possible
then fill with whatever i have, between st / severe
we still running or any thoughts for crit/mastery for m+ EB build? ive been running crit/vers with EB build o.o
does internal bleeding work in pve
if they are immune
like the damage still goes through amr?
no
not unless they can be kidney shootered
so why is @scarlet sequoia running full vers now?
probably because he was just doing pvp
Jesus, nearly full perfect Vers corruptions too lol
I never got good corruptions x_x
He farmed like 72k echos first week so
yeah he's a little nuts
hes Danish it happens
72k echoes in one week?
are you sure that this is an actual player we're talking about
and not just a really advanced bot that replies to msgs?
Tbf echo farming like that is fun
does the heart of darkness azerite trait mean total corruption or base corruption?
you need to be above 25 after resistances
ok so total
How is 72k possible and i cant even make 5k ๐
A little bit over 100 games a day isnโt horrible
How does the sim handle formless void minor?
Any WAs for mechagon rings? Since I have the one that procs from attacking from behind and not the 3 different spells one, Id like to track buff and CD for raid (cause I will have to go behind them to get buff instead of just do my rotatio).
Is 90% the typical uptime?
assuming your tanks are playing flame ya
generally if you have the division ring you never have to think about it at all
since it'll proc from dots anyway
but you can just make a basic weakaura tracking 'recharging' debuff spellid 306474
guys i see rogues using crit dmg % corruptions in m+, is it only for teeming weeks?
with 3eb,or good generally?
301886, but you never need to track it
if the recharging debuff is on you, the haste buff is on you
they're the same length and proc
so you can kinda choose either one to use as a trigger but you definitely don't need both
and crit damage is good every week in m+
Ah great tks
really confused why I'm simming 10k~ less than other rogues with similar stats and ilvl. A few more sockets + mythic carapace chest makes up about 3k of that damage but still at a loss for the rest.
you'd have to link but
'a few more sockets' sounds like a lot
a socket itself is like 700 dps now
@inland gull its good in almost all weeks, due to the nature of EB always being a crit
Maybe the sim wasn't accurate then, but this is my current sim. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/peRSuuzpejpJhhhqf3i8Br
You been pushing much this season seli?
so as long as pulls are sizeable enough and you get 4-5echoes per fok, critdmg is pretty significant on aoe
nope
trying to avoid playing the game, and highkeys in particular, as much as i can atm
personal reasons
Hope all gets solved and you go ham in SL dude๐ช

expansion is still long, gonna come back in a few months and show people how its done by playing 7days
:^)
Yeah there's still push weeks to come
@marble hemlock sweet,thanks :p i buy some then
This mightโve been answered a while ago, but is the move to get expedient 2 or farm for when expedient 3 comes back
both are resonable options
depends on your situation
theres not much downside to buying 2-3 r2s tho
biggest reason would be if imo if you want to also buy corr for m+ and/or other specs
why do i assa using Honed Mind in high keys?
@frigid kestrel where do you see this
O shit i wasnt looking at the date
@quasi pewter Why the fuck did you run 1 eb in motherload 
Think that was my only 480 piece with ss
Should I be focusing on putting my expedients III's on items with big haste, or should I be fine putting them on crit/mast/vers items?
the items should prob have some kind of haste imo
but might not have to be majority hasted
Yeah, that's why I'm asking. Because at a certain point I'd think having some of the other stats would be better. But at the same time, you're getting more secondary stat per item (haste) when you have expedient
would be for m+, in raids you'll want expedients
what is our best m+ build? full severe and st? or can we do a mastery build
i dont see plumage and mechagon rings
why would u advice him to farm a plumage
on both 5min and 3min its a loss
this discord is so feelycrafty lately its insane
well if you socket it its better on 3
plumage pulled ahead for me even over coral with a shitton of haste
and then people cba so they use it everywhere
and its nicer to use
but yeah depends on other secondary balance
its gonna be better by like 100 dps
so 100 dps is feelycrafty for you now?
idk i just think if someone comes for help looking for advice you dont advise him something thats not really upgrade
where's the line?
mate he doesnt even have full sockets
i have 475 plumage so, for me it is choice over coral
the pair of trinkets that sims the more
and even if u do put socket on 5min sim its still 1k at least loss
are coral/gatecaller
@indigo cloak ye but 475 is not something u can farm unless you are really good at pvp is it
best advice is, sim your char, play what sims higher or what you preffer
if you dont care about 1k dps +-, just play what you like
Also sim simulation is not how you will dps anyway. So 100 dps is kind of pointless.
So are we still on the expedient hypetrain? Just checked raz' raiderio and he's running vers 3 now
Probably for pvp right?
Vers3 for PvP I assume
Oh yeah might be, just noticed the MfD
Jesus how do some people have so many echoes already
idk ๐ maybe they had buch of echoes before corrupt vendor
raz farmed like 55k didnt he
Yeah we got miffed hard
Is there anywhere I can read about m+ corruption ideas? I thought at first we were thinking about cirit mastery builds but now I donโt see angone saying thatโs the bis
What's the best way to farm, arena?
yeah arena probably if you are low rating
I'm low rating cause I suck haha, so doubt i'll win much
or run as much visions as you can
but expedient isnt coming for 2 more weeks by the predictions was it? so u might have some time or they might just put it on wednesday ๐คทโโ๏ธ
ye, after reset please ๐
Exped 3 will be 2 or 2.5weeks from tomorrow, probably.
imagine if blizzard was at least clear about it but hey who needs communication with players 
Hey, the more vague and random they are the more we have to play their shot game xD
speculated date of return for Expedient III is 26th June
Cause some streamer said so and wow head posted their "information"?
4 resets from now
Its all speculation for sure. But it shouldn't take 6 weeks to rotate 50whatever corruptions at 14-16 per week /shrug
no way they fucked up that hard
u are right
its up in 5 rotations*
That is what I suspect as well.
i think im going to buy 3rd expedient II, later i will just swap for rank3
this whole rotation thing is another time gating garbage by blizzard
insane how they say "they realize the mistake" and do it again
why not just have a vendor with all of it there
More streamer speculation, but at least his speculation accounts for number of weeks to rotate every corruption option.
because we must grind = play the game = buy game time
I have some exped 2s in my bag atm. I got them right before I logged so I can return them if there are any surprises tomorrow xD
expedient 3 wont come tomorrow
Its unlikely, yes
are the if behind and then haste rings BIS for assa ?
y
Can TEP items still warforge / titanforge? Or do i need to run Mythic TEP for 445 Coral?
They can still warforge yes
Ight cool, thanks!
People expecting rank 3 expedient in like 2 weeks might get fucked btw. Theres no saying the rotation will stay the same. I wouldnt save and plan for when its coming. Buy what you can then save till its back up. Echos come pretty freely
questionn
when they say high lvl of haste we talk in how many % of the 8.3 sanguin e build ? from the guide
The sim is running 8x exped3, afair
@ausr I'm so scared to put anything on my mecha rings because I know ill get one from my box as soon as I do ๐
@tropic ocean you can buy it can't you? or is this gone now, havent done a m+ boost in a long time
yea, I think they might have removed the buying option when the vendor came
@long portal ๐ tables have turned im always hoping for trinket from box now
How's GW lookin for Single target after nerfs?
bad
But it isnt
compared to haste stack
Was plannin on pvp'in aswell so goin full haste would be a bit meh, i've already got r9 expedient so might get some gw
Hey guys, i m pretty underwhelmed about my simdps. Do you have an advice for me to improve the dps? Thank you. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kciqbf2gueg4i5jCH1TDEW
as it's gonna be what 4 weeks until next set of expedient rank 3 anyhow
@tropic ocean isnt that shirin david? :D
@tropic ocean just cosplay wizards IRL

should i buy 2x strike if i need 3x expedient next time it rolls by with 11k echos atm or wait?
bit of both tbh looking to start mythic raiding just came back a month ago, but at the same time building m+ gear
playing that catch game
well my personal approach is, I finish 1 thing then work on the next
so if you will be able to play as much so you can grind out 15.000 until expedient is up (17th june) you could just buy the strikethroughs to be more powerful in the dungeons until then
personally as I don't want to super hard grind I just saved to finish my raid/expedient set and will buy all strikethrough/severe when its up next time
ah right makes sense, i think ill save
So, I understanstand it correctly: Severe/strikethrough for m+ and Exedient for raids? Or is strikethrough/severe only good with Echoing Blades Azarite trades and for Double Dose Azarite it is Exedient?
Damn, I only have Dobule Dose Azarite gear, but bought strikethrough/severe.
Crit: 39%; Haste:21%; Mastery:27%; Versatility:7% are then kinda awful stats for assa rogue, for m+, over all.

@lapis coral yep you usally want high crit then fill with vers/mastery
haste has very low value in m+
so drop some haset up some crit/vers/mastery and u good
guys, how is explained that i sim better with DD (instead of SS) and subterfuge if i try the new build ?
yes
are you simming exsang ?
Try the azeroth guardian
exsang too
For me i needed 50% haste and had to swap to CLF for exang to pull ahead
will try ty
i tried to see the haste of the better sim, but html report show only equipped and do not take expedient in count
maybe i do not read correctly
While playing Exasng build with DS talent, at what points it's best to Envenom? 5/6? or is it worth on 4 ?
ty a lot 
guys
where can i check the american servers
like what are the upcomming corruptiosn
is it pinned somewhere?
No one knows for sure
resets in 2 hours
aight, ty
I'll post if I remember
Go to Wowhead, click on NA and check when next assault resets. By that you can track it.
He means the vendor
vendor resets with assault, so it's w/e 
vendor is tied to assaults
Do i use razor coral to start the building of stacks or is it a pssive?
felt like i got like 2 stacks on a dummy after 2 mins
First use adds a stack and lets you proc more stacks. Second use consumes the stacks and gives you crit
Aright thanks panda
make sure you remember to use again 20sec after the second use to start building stacks again
I have two dd one tk three np should I be going stat corruption or mindflay/ is for raiding
sim yourself, hard to say what is best for you, but expedient is good for dd build
Expedient is still very strong for DD build. With 3 np traits you may find that VOP is best for you. If you're saving echos to buy corruption and care about raiding i would just save for exped.
Is there a date when we can expect R3 Exp to come back ?
all estimated but i think June 26th
Should be in 2 weeks no?
june 17th is when rotation should end
one has vers crit/ one has haste verse
Raidbots.com, Go to top Gear, paste your /simc import from ingame, select both Boots and Press simulate
Wait 2 Minutes
And you got the definitive answer
thanks
Use whichever ones look best.

Deadly momentum 3 pretty shite even for m+?
Hayo, is there a specific BiS list of corruptions for m+ specifically Fortified?
Would it be good to stack on severe or go with a mix of severe/appendage
i play 3xEB 3xSS and stack severe and strikethrough
but im only 3.7k i dont push really high keys
I've used https://mplus.subcreation.net/assassination-rogue.html for reference, seems like every sin uses a mix of td/app/severe
Subcreation Mythic+ provides statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons in World of Warcraft, using the raider.io API, and provides summaries of the top talents, essences, azerite, corruption, and gear used in Mythic+, using the Warcraft Logs API.
That is high keys ofc
depends heavily on stats too, i run 8% haste for m+ so TD always performs very poorly when i try it, as its a hasted proc.
If i played more haste that would become more viable
no nothing will be confirmed until june 16th or we get a repeat corruption
I swear I saw a suggest list somewhere, but what is our BiS azerite list including raid and residuum?
Both theories gone to shit
1 less expedient 3 to buy ๐
Slap a gemslot on that item
whats the addon saying percentages?
Just bought two IS r3 kappa
and doest it take expedient into account?
advanced tooltip
or just rought value?
it doesnt
rough*
Speaking of corruption, in Raidbots, how do I apply corruption to a specific piece?
ok, thanks
or, when you select it from the list does it just automatically sim everywhere it can?
it goes on uncorrupted items if you have any and wont go above the limit
got it, do you know if it goes on purified items?
it does
np
what corruption should I buy this week?
should we have 1 x Rank 3 Severe for our setup?
what would you play for m+
No one uses nothing personal anymore eh
@tropic ocean for the Exsan build would it be worth having a severe 3?
@near coyote its good on some things
any specific desired amount @tropic ocean ? like are you looking to hit a specific crit% or
looking to proc 5 echoes of every fok
the higher your base crit is, the less severe you need/want, and the more strikethrough you want
theres sadly no definite answer as these values change depending on how many targets you fight
so might want to increase/reduce severes on a per dungeon/affix basis
thats what i mean so would you look to get to 50% and then stop adding severes and put everything else into strikethroughs oor?
if you want specifically for the sake of the example say
idk theres no accurate answer
for freehold u probably dont need much severes

think some guy simmed the other day with 60% crit his best was to just stack strikethroughs with 1 severe or so iirc
goddamn i slept on strikethrough 3 when it was on 
it will come again, dw
i have 60% crit and 3 strikethrough rank 3's for m+ (40 corruption)
I just see it super chill no need to hastle or worry
and works for me
as before i'd probably never get all corruptions I needed so now with vendor
why panic
๐
What do you pull for total dps on like a high freehold?
hard to say, depends on the size of the pulls and the other dps im running with
I tried it in KR but not as much aoe
got a question abt buying corruption, since expedient 3 and 2 just rotated away, should I just buy the expedient 1's whilst waiting for the 3 and 2's to come back?
itโs probably good to have 1s and 2s as backup to fill pieces after all the 3s have been applied, but i dont think youd wanna cover gear w 1s atm
7 exp ? How much corruption are you running on progress ?
usually you'd run <40 on prog
the people here running 7 expedients arent on progress however xd
How do you assassinatiob mains handle multitarget/AoE raid bosses? Do you stay assa with EB/SS traits or go outlaw but with the same gear or is the only real option to get a whole other set with crit instead of haste?
most bosses like that have some sort of prio
your goal as assa is to prio that target
EB would only be worth it for logs on fights like cara and hivemind, and on both fights there are more important things than add damage
if ur progressing then taking any EB traits is inting
the only boss i imagine EBSS was fine on prog on was hivemind
youd stick with SS+HoD and just using garrote/rupture on secondary targets
cuz u could still have giga ravager prio and shit w it
but vexiona cara etc you just go normal build
ud have to talk yo rl id assume cause as sin youre not really there for aoe unless u donโt sacrifice st for it
yeah
Thats what ive been doing, just go full boss damage. But its demoralizing being last on dps almost every fight :(
overall numbers really dont matter as long as the boss is dead
ultimately if you really wanna give yourself a pat on the back to into logs and a) compare w the same spec and b) check damage done to prio target 
First on doggo, football and split guy, though, so thats where i keep my raidspot
That makes me feel alittle better, ty :)
do u have a sim/log u can post?
Maybe, hold on
So is the general consensus for assa m+ leans toward crit stacking or TD stacking? Or td as much as you can + some crit %?
severe if u need more crit% and then strikethrough once u have enough base crit
So people donโt just stack td as assa for m+?
also the crit build for M+ is assuming youre playing with EB traits
which u should be if youre not already
ones consistent and the other is random, If you get good TD procs having all the haste or crit in the world wont beat it
but thats an if
thats why all top parses in the world run RNG corruption and they got lucky
Couldnt find the vexiona one, might have forgot on loggning that fight
nbd was just curious to see your build and stuff but i wouldnt worry about your numbers as long ad they are comparable to other rogues cause were by no means top dps at the moment :/
We have no other rogue, and lots confuse me. Ive kinda resigned to being low on meters on cleave fightas but on st i usually only loose to warriors and locks.
yea sounds about right
We arent the best guild either to so compairing myself in such a small pool isnt the best probably
Just kulled vexiona M this week

What are the BiS shoulders to buy with the Titan Residuum?
Gorak tul's i think
Gorak Tuls
Sick I thought so, got them with the random 475 purchase today ๐
Is there a good site to read about assassination? The only one I can find is icy veins.

!guide
is c+s worth using at rank 2 or only really at rank 3
on a scale of 1 to bad, how bad is the slithering loa helm for exsang build lol
got two of them back to back just now
How good/bad is GW after the nerf?

True ๐
Can somebody help me understand stat weights? What should I be looking at after I sim my characters weights?
Gushing wound no nerf?
@jolly helm in general, stat weights are "if you added a bit more stat of this" then it tells you which one would be better. unfortunately we usually have to drop a bit of stat to add another, and with corruptions and traits and essences, its gotten pretty complex.
If you look at them on a regular basis, you will see that crit is good in keys, and haste is good in raid, and agi is low priority. but simming actual pieces is how its done these days.
and even beyond that guides or general knowledge is better than winging it with stat weights.
Thanks @lone junco that was very helpful
wish i could sim for gears i dont have
really wanna see how swirling sand does vs. third SS
How much haste (pre-expedient) do you need before the expedient build becomes optimal?
1843
Im the same Jokke
And i sim so bad compared to other people 73k rn
473.5 ilvl
And if i run exsang i sim even worse
What would be the best way to sim for M+ use the dungeon slice (beta) for raidbots?
or just sim it as add cleave?
Dungeon slice is bad for assa
@tranquil imp patchwerk, 5 bosses 90 sec
@dusky moon Thanks.
Should I pick up any severes or just hold out for Expedient round 2?

@tranquil imp if you are doing sustained cleave sims like that, make sure you disable bloodlust and other raid buffs.
didnt people use to do 6Target 40s.?
No one knows what you should pick up, we aren't you
@tropic ocean thx man, suddenly im not too depressed about the slithering loa helm anymore xD
Yeah that is where my sim is making me wondering because it wants me to use a t2 tendy piece over a T3 severe piece.
In M+ what's the recommended trait set up now that the vendor is out ? I used to go 3 SS 2 EB and one ST trait for boss fights, but since the crit seems to synergise particularly well with EB I'm wondering if the default set up should be 3 EB.
3EB and fat crit is nice
took a 440 rogue last night and he was sustaining 150k ish. and lolling his ass off.
dh main.
"you really just press 1 button?"
Mmh. And then it's Crit > mastery on every piece of gear, ideally ?
I assume haste needs to be PRETTY low, no matter if it's tyra, with such a build ?
What's the opener with CT @scarlet sequoia
what pot will you use for Exsanguinate build Unbridled fury or Focused Resolve for single ?
Guide says FR on pure st, IF on others
g r g v m (ct if 5 cp m till 6 cp rupture exsang) (rupture exsang if 6 cp bote m m ct) etc
or just check a quick sim and figure it out from there
Would you say expedient 1 is good for some who is lacking in haste, or would you wait for 2 or 3 again ?
Confirm that itโs appropriate to use guardian of Azeroth as your first gcd before g, r, g opener?
(Breaks stealth but subt window is still large enough to do the two gโs)
There is an exsang guide in the pins with the exsang opener(not counting CT)
Mhmm. I read the guide. Did I miss the part that talks about when to deploy condensed life force / guardian?
Copy. Thanks panda. My simc (via raidbots) uses it as the first global.
That's above my paygrade xD
Assuming we can choose between all the available trinkets, what's the ideal set up in M+ ? I'm currently going Vita 475 and Spyglass, although I'm not sure it's the best I could get.
@lavish swallow there was speculation about using it pre pull
but it doesnt really work, sometimes it just stands there and does nothing for 4-5 seconds
Copy, thanks Raz. Iโll use your priority list until we hear more on that.
do we know when next expe 3 since we know tomorrow's vendor?
I don't think so
is it possible to make a macro like exang/tb but for talents on 2 different rows
well i can just try it i guess
seems like it works
#showtooltip
/cast [talent:6/1] Mutilate; [talent:6/2] Toxic Blade; [talent:6/3] Exsanguinate
is it possible to make a macro like exang/tb but for talents on 2 different rows
@rancid bobcat
@rancid bobcat its possible but if you have both talented only the first one in the macro string will apply
yeah it's for mfd/ct
you need to make sure that both conditions match
dont ever plan on having both at the same time
with enough haste its correct to play crimson tempest ST right? as long as it sims higher? there hasnt been any apl changes the last couple days to conttradict that?
@west cove speculative june 17th
?
its no theory
exp 3 was first day
52 corruptions
6-7 per vendor
so rotation is done with reset on 17th june
it will either be same from start or rng
so will see
oright ty ^^
is there a certain amount of crit i wanna have for raid ? like 33% i.e
or is 30% overall enough
Just started playing the rogue again for raid. I currently have zero expedient corruption. Should I save for those in a few weeks or get severe now?
tips for rexxars jackass boars knocking you into mirror circles when you get poolblocked out of your only exit?
unless you desperately need dmg for progress
Thanks @tropic ocean
@last crown cloak, evasion+burn rexxar asap
3ss 3 np exsang
pot on use trinket
rexar will live few seconds
i prepotted, have flask and battle shout scroll, used all defensives, rexxar lived through it and then boar knocked me into a delusion and i got permastunned till i died
bring back umbric
you can sap/blind the boars
if you have enough damage you can kill him before they wear off
oh wait rexxar
idk
i just orb and kill rexxar
How many strikethrough are recommened for a nice M+ build ? Unless it's FULL Severe but I don't think so ?
use cloak after orb wears off
wait wht i thought the boars were untargetable until they charge you into things
i honestly usually kill the boar on thrall and have never had an issue, but rexxar just seems like he randomly fucks me in 30% of runs
i do but once in awhile ill get boar knocked to kingdom come into a delusion orb
How's your gear?
also if you use a sanity orb, the madnesses disappear
until the sanity orb goes away
i legit did not know you could drop the orb on top of rexxar, thought casting it would drop stealth and start the fight
if you have subterfuge talented, you can drop orbs while stealthed without breaking
subterfuge is kind of wacky
it lets you do a lot of stuff without breaking stealth
how do i use galecallers? do i always save it for exsang?
you can mount up while in stealth with subterfuge
I was just playing around with it actually. With how late you use exsang in the opener, the second cast of both almost line up.
then 3rd use second cds is close again
@last crown can always use iris major, i do that to just kill the boars off
and how do i avoid getting mechagon self-heal ring with masterful 3 ๐
by cleansing it ๐
i meant from my cache, ring is fully garbage even without corruption
@last gyro good

iris over purification lousy? purification felt nice on those bugs before rexxar who randomly stun for some unknown reason
Bote major all day
5 stacks = stun
^
in m+; uou bote and fok for 5 or 10s?
when i didnthave enough gear to just kill rexxar over i find iris helped with crapz
and his stupid boars
then again i didnt knew you could drop orb on rexxar while stealth
Crit dmg is for 5 sec, crit buff for 10
you can also just slow dps rexxar and focus boars as they come up
so you fok for 5 secs ?
Looking for a combat timer weakaura anyone know of one?
tried that one and it didnt work,does it only work in raid?
kk ty ill go test it there
exorsus raid tools has one built in if you have it
Should I cleanse my GW and apply an expedient 3 to another piece of gear? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tUNDJyFCSMBYWfM9LUMf5g
I have a lot of 475s that I could apply it to, but some of my expedients are on lower pieces of gear
love to see it, pug leader kicks whole group before ashvane to bring his friends in
got this helm out of the roll for this week
razor coral is so one month ago though
j/k it's still really good
but perhaps not THAT necessary
Told ya Severe III is tomorrow ๐ those calculations of that dude from Reddit aint for dime ๐
yeah im sure your crystal ball was correct
Kek
Expedient 3 back next reset Iโm telling u
If you rub them maybe you get something
But still strikethrough is pulling more for myth+ after 60% crit
i mean my guild doesnt have mythic ra den down yet, so corral is definitely still pretty huge for me
difference between a hc and mythic vita is like 300 dps
honestly something like a 465 plummage and heroic vita probably isn't far off at all from a 445 coral
sure but kicking people before ashvane to bring in your buddies is still mega demoralizing
fill a group fast and steal the lockout
it's a dick move for sure
mythic vita is minor update over hc one
yeah, how much expedient you have is actually a bigger buffer for your vita then what ilvl vita you have
yes
this game is horse shit
i mean, it's working as intended
if its intended to make its palyerbase hate it, yeah
vanish puts you in stealth... if you don't have a party member also in combat, your gonna drop combat and the mob will reset
that is so hit or miss, and definitely not reliable
U mad vanish working like it has worked for the past 15 years?
It is stupid that they make rogue dps reliant on using vanish
I'd like to be able to do my rotation in shti content; yeah
just give him true sight in combat
problem solved
get a 475 gushing wounds on nerf day.....thanks blizzard just in time
rather not give him true sight cause then you cant place an orb on him
so in the enhang opener of gar>rup>gar>vend>mut>rup>enhang....we are refreshing that rupture off that mutilate with 5 combo points and rollin with it, not getting 6 for enhang? wasted combo point not worth i presume?
you can pretty consistently vanish>garrote without dropping combat though
you lose garrote ticks if you spend 2 more gcds before exsang
yeah that makes sense
For m+ I have 15k echoes to spend, already have 1 r3 severe, do I buy 3 more tomorrow or get one strikethrough 3 today and 2 severe?
Save for 20k..i got the same bad shoulders 5 times in a row
@tropic ocean well there will be 13 for sure, when it comes to other numbers I cant say it since CIA is on my ass
If you use CLF you can Vanish pretty safely on Thrall because the pet will keep him in combat
Also possible to Vanish into Garrote macro and not break combat potentially
Does applying CT break iris minor haste buff? If 2nd mob present obviously
Anyone know of the parse/logging community that try cheese strats to get high parses?
Does anyone elses stat weights sim haste as the lowest stat for ST? mine says Crit>Vers=Mast>Haste
Can happen if your other stats are very low
koji did you look into the missed guardian casts with prepull
Wasn't able to see anything too consistent
crit>vers seems like you have tentacles, simming bote and not too many expedients
how much of a gain is a pre pull guardian anyways
Don't remember exactly, I'd have to check again
0.1-0.2 iirc
@primal turret just read the message above yours 
and it quite well describes your case
not bad?
It is very small though yeah
gonna obviously cleanse it
I'd say if your GoA tends to delay at all on prepull then just not using it prepull is probably slightly better
Lol got that same dagger today, just cleansed it and tossed expedient on it
If you're not getting a cara dagger today ๐
Which I'm getting 2 of, I can feel it ๐
do u have enough time to cloak sprint the lightfoot segment of carapace?
remember to buy your rerolls
i have 5 xD
u dont use em?
dont need anything from raid except cara and ilg belt for arena /shrug
what
i use my rerolls on heroic raden and carapace
still have 0 items from either
pog
actually ahve raden azerite i guess
i havent loot raden weapon yet neither in hc or mm
i got vita and azerite on first raden kill somehow. i guess that was my luck fgor the tier
cara azerite and wep for me : /
Anyone that has CT sim better st for em...do you just keep up ct but ignore during exhang/vendetta window?
raz told me you put it up for exsang in opener
How bad is a crit/vers set up for assa m+? I hve all my outlaw gear (crit/vers) corrupted with severe/strikethrough and just got my BiS sin azerite.
makes sense cause you have plenty of energy in the opener, and exang can be delayed, as long as you still have trinket and bote. ๐
@lime edge yeh im legit convinced now that carapace chest doesn't drop for rogues
Those stats are sick for assa m+
i got it on rogue, but then sims had me use DD anyway. rip
I was under the impression that masters>vers for the shrouded suff build
i had to get to like 45-50% haste before ss/exsang took over
yeah, my rogue is wimpy boy still.
mastery is good too, but crit is god because of EB/fok
Like as you can imagine my outlaw gear has basically no mastery
besides my slappers which I wouldnt be using as sin anyway
crit/mastery>crit/vers but your corruptions are the same
tbh i kind of like how outlaw mastery is because it's a call back to sword spec, but with how the spec is designed and tuning it's just really bad
tell me about it man. need exped for raid, severe for m+, and vers for arena
true
wasn't it also garbage in wod when it was just haste/multi everywhere
it's a long time ago
it hasn't been good since like maybe mop?
ye
and it wasn't even the best stat in mop neither
combat mastery has always done the same thing, i believe
it was memed in Legion for KS + bladeflurry hits on that skorpion boss
ele shammies hate their mastery too and it's semi similar to outlaw
do we want severe on 1 or 2 pieces after haste?
on the first boss of nh lol?
yeah. when they would KS, the bf would trigger the gouch hits
thats like tier 3 meme. sub slapped on that boss
it's kind of sad that a lot of people seem to want/prefer boring damage increase masteries these days
but, i guess that's on blizz
nah. bigger than sub. was mongo meme
it was remade but they brought it back
Ye, its meme in that killing those adds didn't matter at all
when multi went away
was neat to see it work, in that case only.
playing outlaw on zul is probably more accurate xD
you guys think the logic loop that triggers from standing behind your target or the 3x spells is better?
behind 100%
it feels like you wont always be able to stand behind your target but you can trigger the 3x spells one by using 3 spells one in any scenario by using filler stuff like distract/tricks/evasion/sprint when you need it
in which instance can you not hit a boss from behind once ever 15 sec?
nzoth p3 but that's the only place
talking about using globals or utility spells as "filler"?
oh really, it doesnt proc on nzoth?
during p3 behind is usually covered in anguish
havent done last 2 bosses so i cant speak to those but ilgynoth you often have an assigned melee spot with no dispel strat so you cant be behind him, wrathion there is risk of tail swipes
you don't have to be directly behind
behind on wrathion is his side also
its like the 200degree cone
@vast forum double drest ๐
pretty sure any dragon behind is the side anyway
oh ok yeah that makes it better
it used to be that way when there was bonus damage or hit chance when hitting from behind
I believe
I am still learning ๐
90-100%
When you guys have your vanish and vendetta line up for the 2nd time, what do you usually do? Do you just vendetta then vanish into garotte > garotte?
you don't have to be behind the mob to proc from behind really
there's no reason to ever run 3 spells if you have the option
Also damn outside of my opening burst, and then back with vendetta, i fall to abysmal levels of dps lol
hey guys, have you ever had your sim tell you to take both lucid dreams and formless void
it happened before the corruption vendor came out for some people yes
should i be worried lol
i mean stat weight is telling me crit is my best stat rn
and then top gear tells me to ditch BotE
...
BoTE major for a lot of people isn't actually the highest simming major
but sim is telling me to get more crit and ditch bote at the same time
and that just really makes my head hurt lol
isn't bote like
3k free crit or some shit
stat weights don't account for the sort of major swing you're talking about
behind a bit, but you can test the behind ring on a dummy, the from behind cone is extremely wide, to the point that you can get parried by the dummy but still proc it
@rigid eagle where did you get that 3k free crit from
@wet ruin i just mean bote is a ton of crit
its really not
it's pretty normal both for clf to sim better than bote for you, and in the event that you drop bote crit gains a bit of value because the % of the time you'll be over 100 lowers
oh
outsimming bote
the minor is like
idk
very interchangable
with alternatives
namely iris
like bote/iris kinda just swap around for me randomly as my gear grows
nothing is ever mandatory
hard to believe blizzard balances the game that well LUL
have you chosen to play ns 4fun4 or
rupture is the highest damage per cast so yea
Pretty sure rupture does the most damage per global so yes that would be correct
i imagine that you'd want to ns rupture before the bote just to not spend the gcd but
its "close" so i was wondering
ok dumb question of the (tm pending) - Infinite Stars worth it for Sin? And what scenario?
ew ok thx
Hc maybe xanesh idk
but if you have nothing better to use and if it's needed for your budget use it i guess
nah its up for sale with Mother this week - figured I'd ask before wasting my $$ on it
yeah i wouldn't spend all those echoes on a rank 3 IS
i use a rank 2 IS ring cause i have nothing better atm
USING IS LUL WHEN EXPEDIENT EXISTS
and i got it from a M+ chest
yea I've never had IS or GW drop... its always void/tw/mineflay
Do you use CLF on CD post opener? or try to sync it with something
depends on fight length
Ah, fair point. okay
if you can align it to vend without losing either vend or clf then go for it
if oyu can't then fire and forget
thanks!
just got clf 3, pog
but...i never got r4 rockboi ;_;
Bois I need ur help. Rerolled to rogue last week and wasn't allowed to play it on mythic nzoth. I have raid tomorrow and my raid leader told me to play old main (boomie). I asked if I could play rogue but he said no, cuz the other boomie in guild is not gonna be there for raid so we will lack synapse damage in psycus 1. I basically promised him I'd do big synapse damage and he agreed we could try it for 1 or 2 pulls. Any tips? Do I go breath major? Maybe I shouldn't go exanguinate +SS build but double dose instead?
ur doomed
breath major is pretty fuckin good for synapse damage
if you use it well, you can top synapse damage
wow being ddos'd 
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2nascGcchdPn6cLaNMfqsY cant see any improvement. Any ideas?
@celest sundial play outlaw LOL
u have a crit gem
Will outlaw be better for that? I have better outlaw gear tbh
outlaw is significantly better for synapse damage
Is it because they live so short so you don't get that much value from bleeds or?
yeah theyre not even worth garroting
outlaw with breath major sounds like the best option there
but assa with breath major isn't bad either if you wanna go for it
i did 3m on progress but that was after like
I guess I'll try outlaw for it if it's the best suited
so much repetition i had set spots for shadowstep
and everything
this was my first time playing outlawa in raid
in like 6 months
Do u fan of knives to build BTW in psycus, or mutilate
In case I end up playing assa there
not 100% sure what's optimal tbh, probably depends a bit on your gear
i was playing 0dd and randomly feely fokked when there was a pile of psychophages ontop of us and didn't when it was just a couple
yeah most of the time you still wanna mut
THE HORROR
i was playing m+ just before raid and went to make food instead of reforging
the play in general was awful, it was great fun
is honed mind 3 worth it if i have base 40% mastery? or should i go for dif corruption
top gear has preserved contaminants sims available to check, i'd guess no (nothing to do with your 40% mastery), but my guess is as good as yours
depends a lot on your alternatives, traits, rest of your corruption etc
rn my haste is really bad so i was gonna buy some expedient 3's when they come back in stock, i already have dagger with twisted appendage 2 that i feel is worth keeping for the corruption cost
Are the Gushing Wounds nerfs live?
yep they are live
quick question, i got this for the opener with Subterfuge but 0 shrouded suffocation
garrote-mut til 4+ CP- rupture - vend-tb-do your standard stuff until garrote is in pandemic-vanish-garrote-do normal stuff
is this correct?
shouldnt i need to do a double garrote?
you don't need shrouded without exsang
ah great then
i dont have enough expedients to make me go exsanguinate build
used everything on striketroughs for outlaw
this is my current sim
im trying a lot of stuff but i cant get past 87k
i made a yolo sim to see how many exp3 i would need to surpass that and only with 5 or more rank 3s
so im stuck with this build for a while
but without exsanguinate or shrouded suffocaton, do i still need to double garrote?
!coral
The way to use coral in M+ is using it on your priority target,
and then whenever that target dies, reapply it to your next target.
Whenever your target dies it gives you the crit it would give from using it,
so consuming the stacks for crit mid pack is generally suboptimal.
Ugh, I sim better with TD/Expedients than with Severe on big packs. When does severe start pulling through?
Any1 got a link to that corruption clone site? where you in can input your char and clone over items with your chosen corruption?
What is a big pack @limber lion
@tiny finch no you don't need to double garrote
just scroll up or search discord for the corruption clone thing
actually i can't seem to find it so 
Got it ๐ https://ennukee.github.io/corruption-replacer/
A website to provide cloned pieces of existing gear, but corrupted! For Raidbot simming purposes.
