Yeah Stabb, at higher haste levels lucid overcaps energy quite a bit.
The energy return of lucid minor becomes less valuable
thanks

are you guys using clf over blood major if it sims better for you or do you prefer bote due to bossdesign/timings in nya? unsure what do do. My idea was to take clf except at hive,vex,ilgy,drest and nzoth
people use bote cause they like it
not cause of anything else
just like noone uses galecaller
Sims tell me WV should be my major and I feel like I’m getting jebaited
Hey fellow rogues.
I really want get more DPS in raids, but I think I messed up with my stats. I went for crit because I read it´s better for m+. At the Time I was doing mainly m+ content.
Should I exchange all my crit gems for haste gems and start to buy EXPEDIENT corruptions? Can Play with the garrote azerite trait or is it better to go for double dose? Atm I play with 3 times shrouded suffocation.
If I would change everything to haste is it still viable in m+? I dont plan on doing higher than +15 because I lack the skills. But atm I enjoy raiding more :)
I really would appreciate it, if sbdy would find the time to give my some tips.

how does masterassassin, vigor or tb sim compared to that?
actually
don't mind me you have 5exp already
how does CT cahnge the rotation?
it replaces the first Envenom in the opener
it replaces envenom as a filler if it is down
Cool 👍
nerd
kinda late to the party here but hey im done with bfa i guess
nah
Should i already be using blood of the enemy at rank 1 instead of crucible at rank 3?
queueing pvp for anything besides echo farm in current season sounds like self inflicted pain tbh
i rather watch some guys thatare know what there doing in pvp..not my cup of tea
If blood of the enemy is already better at rank 1 then i don't have to do the shitty quests to get crucible to rank 3 so yeah simming isn't going to help with that
how?
bote aint worth unless its r3
if its better at r1
u use it obviously
compared to ur crucible
and sim will answer that question for you
wait hol up
It's just confusing the me which essence i should go for since i never farmed any
for what content
your final raid setup will most likely consist of clf/bote - lucid/breath/formless void/iris depending on ur gear llv
And ill have to use an essence anyway even if its only at rank 1 because u have no other choice
and for m+ bote/lucid/conflict/breath
So going for bote first would be best since it can be used in m+ raids and also pvp i believe
I could prob get rank 1 in about an hour
clf super fast too, you just get carried in mythic EP
any insight on what I should work on from that? What would the best upgrade I could do ?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/th8BtE3xy2Z7xr4mEgjirT
(not raiding mythic, or just 3-4 first bosses)
Which essence do you use for pvp then? Pins in pvp channel said bote
i doubt that
generally for m+ i'd probably just recommend if you don't have a main to buy essences from mother just play iris major in m+ till you have bote rank 3, and in raid i wouldn't be surprised if something like flame was your best in the super short term
Kk thanks
I got like 7 characters to 430 before deciding which one to main so that's why i don't know shit about essences
but generally whatever you do you're gonna be playing some not-normal shit cause the essences don't scale linearly per rank, so if you don't have everything at rank 3 power levels are a bit weird
best to just aim for the long term good ones (like aus posted for raid) and in the short term just sim what you have
Ill try getting bote rank 1 and crucible rank 3 and just sim
i think the flame quests give ap anyway so
it's not all wasted time
and it might be your best minor for quite a bit till you finish up the better ones
hey guys, with wihich uptime i should sim symbiotic presence?
90% is probably fair if your tanks are playing flame major
okay ty
if not it's quite low and probably not considerable but i'd guess 50% or something
I have a question guys. Honed mind proc does it increase the damage of already applied bleeds? Or does it snapshot on application?
@rustic python increase already applied bleeds
Cool thank you
np man
Your name
lul
race too

outside of obvious statements like getting the better items with the holes in them
like cara boots
cara dagger
475 legs etc
seems fine
droptimizer adds the corruption i have on said piece when simming, right?
thats right
hmm
I can choose between crit/vers+socket 475 or haste/vers + socket 465
Do most of you not use CLF? it sims a decent bit higher than bote for me
only 5 exps
i dont even wanna see the sim now when i get more exp
:p
pretty sure if I update trinket few sockets it will shit on my rogue by 10,15k 😄
hahahahah
Fkin warrs
Wow, send us more arms warrior sims over at #wow-general 
Can i ask a dumb question
both socketed
Do you want to use CT in single target rotation when doing Exsang build?
How does expedient actually work
SHARD SIMS WORSE REE
it increases your haste
amp haste %based
Like does it increase ur total haste
% from all sources
yea
total haste
haste from all of your items
So just from q item
not just the item its on
yea
essence
your vita procs 1674 haste = you get 1874 haste (with 1x expedient III )
yeah
At what haste lvls should you start considering going for full haste build? (Currently at 32% haste w/o any expedients)
I am peaking at 180-200% haste when everything procs at once
32% w/o expedients is fine I think
I am at 65%
but I increased other stats a bit
currently at 33% crit 62% haste 4% vers 44% mastery
only thing I could replace was
gloves from haste vers to haste mastery or smt
then either need to git gud at pvp or get 475 plumage off chest
I got 475 plumage this chest xD
Coral apparently is like, a bis trink, but I got the vita and wrathion trink, what should I swap for the coral?
i havent gotten anything good from any of my weeklys
@rain sundial 
Is there an easy to understand reasoning about why we should use a vers trinket ?
easy to use
big damage boost for vendetta window
sorry for interrupting, is there a weakaura which lets you know when you don't have your poisons applied?
I see almost noone playing with guardian it sims much higher for me tho, should I use it then? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/aUQiRoNGGaJcPJqh2nX7Ga
ppl do play with clf
i had some fights where i didn't have the poisons up and it fucked me over lol
@green scroll it is 2 min cd, as vendetta, it gives u over 15% vers for 20s
biiiig dmg increase
so it's because of the amount of vers it gives compare to other trinkets based on other stats mostly ?
it just lines good
has same duration same cd
and vers is flat dmg buff
no brain trinket
oh and it also outsims coral at some point
people use plum and blood cause they lazy
ok i keep simming IS and it is always more dps, how can i tell how bad it is compared to expedient
and want ease of use
u can even get a macro to use vendetta and trinket at same time
since trinket is off gcd
which is what i do
someone has the simc line so I can add it to my topgear ?
how many cp do i use CT at? 5-6 too?
ya
@true kindle IS is bad in short fights, it's also huge RNG.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/27pnn12xLuSt7XxvJAYjhA anything i can improve or is it just "get more sockets 4Head"
@pseudo hamlet yes i understand that, which is why i hate it, but sim seems to love it, doesn't take in account bad rng i guess
it does take
you just dont have a single boss thats afk target dummy hitting for 5 mins
do you
just dont sim stars
"final build"
@rose sapphire 👏 looks stronk
cause thats what youre simming
@pseudo hamlet yeh looking forward to it, made same sim which replaces 1 exp r2 with gw on 485 wep but it sims 100 less so thats what I can push as most
How do you guys handle sims, do you all have a raidbot premium with millions of iteration or is there some order to sim like raw stuff first, then corrupt then talent then gems ?
Paying for premium is the best investment I have made to gaming the past decade
pretty much anyone who raids actively has access to a premium account i think
its worth it
wtf lool
between 5 guilds :d
I sim like 5-6 times with different corruptions/essences
i dunno why but Formless Void always sims way less then other essences for me, even with 90% uptime and i have alot of haste : https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4A3M3GTRGyB5hvSwkrzgGW just kinda wanna know why
cause it isnt some random haste point where it becomes better
it might be better for you
or it might not be
u have to remember
when u run formless void, u lose out on a minor
that minor is just better for u
hey guys ... one stupid question when does the pandemic starts @ crimson tempest ?
thanks mate
with 6 Exp3 do you socket full haste?
I would sim it but 80% yes
it wants me to cleanse it and put exped 3
no
perfect pvp piece
it wants you to pvp
fuuu
kinda jelly of those gloves
I learned about exstang build way too late so i went full toxic blade and double dose. is it worth it changing to exstng at this point? already wasted my titan residuum to buy that chest. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/t99fZMiA9qvfWM44DXvKrM
but thats 460
would you rather go 3x SS or 3x DD? or is it bad to miz them up?
thats a math question

im worried that the haste proc ring wont even sim higher than this
unless i drop it with a socket
rip
even tho haste proc is about 3 sockets
so itll probably be really close
do i commit to raid and fuck pvp
I CANT DECIDE
@lethal bobcat pretty much ss on most fights even with lower haste or if dd sims better (depending on how much ofc)
aight thanks
multitarget needs to be accounted when valueing ss vs dd
obviously ss is more flexible
but if youre asking for st numbers
only robot can tell you that
like in fights like hivemind or raden a 1k dps lead of dd will more likely be outvalued by the cleave gain of ss
any lads purged 485 daggers today 
ye like this blizzard hard trolling with this ring
😂
and not even mythic ring from nzoth+socket outsims it(even added expedient to it) ???
just telling me to corrupt something else instead 4Head
you want to corrupt mechagon rings anyway
yea
do you have any weak auras that show if you don't have poisons up?
i fucked up many times by not applying it before a boss
😐
lol
@sullen pagoda whats your baseline haste if you dont mind me asking
@hardy crypt https://pastebin.com/Zydsyjjh
lol what
what do you play for major essense on ST?
clf/bote
ty
Gentlemen, heavy expedient stacked here. Given Vita and Dice trinkets sim almost same (+- 150dps diff), would u personally go Vita or Dice?
so troll is actually masterrace now?
for horde yes
overall no
but then you cant tmog shoes
and good tmog is dps increase
so
):<
flames r real
pog
monkaW
For exsang builds do you guys prefer haste mast or haste crit
whatever sims better
Is there a clear winner in 2+ target?
how do you guys handle CT on aoe? at what amount of enemies you just spam it as a finisher?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qNRH3EMmYmCRT9bTbxYS4P should i trust sim with this trinket combo?
@sacred yarrow yeah raidbots.com
or just roll with vita and plumage
plumage only starts otusimming at super high haste
also your spyglass is socketed
ur vita is not
and since u dont have gorak tuls, crit is strong for u
yeah thats why im not even too keen on putting expedient on those vers crit legs tho
it doesnt matter too much
Any consensus on whether expedient or severe stacking is the way to go for m+ now? Or if it kicks outlaws ass enough to beat the utility
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2eNgoqsWEcdzzd3fykVq7Z plumage still 400 dps behind
someone farm socket for me 
@placid kindle switchin vers mastery to haste mastery pants is like 300ish dps up for me
so its not super giga what stats on ur item are
i really wouldnt put corruptions on shit you'll replace soon
but thats me being lazy do what you want
raidbots down?
i had a 503 error earlier, restarting browser worked
yeah ty
is the gear even that replaceable if I'm not a mythic raider tho is more or less what I'm wondering I guess
stats seem decent
oh if you dont have access to high ilvl stuff then yea seems decent
have you simmed non-exsang?
still with expedient?
like dd/tb uses expedient too but might be more forgiving with low stats
lemme check
and use lucid instead of vop
Can anyone take a look and tell me if there is something I should change or get some other piece?
i mean
you need 485 daggers
¯_(ツ)_/¯
and azurite
you can sim those though and see how much it would be
Cara daggers and cara chestpiece?
@winter gale Boe boots, pants crit+haste from some dungeon, Daggers from Carapace
belt bis stats/ vita 475
and maybe mechagon combo, idk
he doesnt need boe boots mythic cara boots will most likely be bis
Hey guys, I’m starting mythic progression tonight as assassination rogue. Is there anyone who would be willing to help me with stuff?
ye, chest you can change aswell
Mythic progression starting from the first boss?
I suppose the 10k between me and urs is basically just raidbuffs right
I believe mine were off
Mythic progression starting from the first boss?
@delicate bone I’ve done 3/12 but general progression
could be yeah
and if you're mythic raiding i wouldnt put exp3 on low ilvl stuff
but you'll keep your rings forever for example
I've seen alot of people parsing well with SS, exsan and sometimes even CT. Do we have any ressources explaining why this is getting good? Just more haste?
❤️
1 hour and a half later and still haven't won a single BG for bote rip
me neither
alliance or horde
@swift timber With deeper stratagem, do we use finishers at 5/6 instead of 4/5 or?
alliance, ofc
dont you get honor regardless?
odd
just farm them
I thought that's where all the good players went
@dusty vigil I believe it's 5/6 but I'm no exsang expert
jep alliance haha
i've never lost more then 2 bg's in a row as hore
but happens to me pretty often as alliance
currently at about 7 games lost in a row
russian alliance used to camp in AV and farm honor
during the honor bonus week playing horde was miserable
i've went up vs 2 full premade russian horde teals
i think i might just have to go play my undead rogue again if i want to have fun at pvp
I've been simming DS and Sang for a while, and DS is simming as an increase but Sang hasnt. Is it due to fight length? BOTE also isnt simming higher than World Vein Major. Is this a situation where I ignore the Sims?
is your bote rank 3?
did you set any wv allies?
and ds beats vigor at high haste levels
Yes. I'm presently at 3796 Haste, which is 56%. My Blood is Rank 3. And I do have WV Allies.
In no sim has Exsang been present at all as being higher, but DS always is.
set wv allies to 0 to get a better idea but generally i wouldnt play it unless you can stand around 18 secs and tunnel
do u have any SS that will increase xang
I have one SS, but its not active(have run it in sims). I could do a second if I dropped my 480 to a 465. I'll try simming with that.
is there a macro to automatically swap trinkets on your hotbar
link ur highest top gear sim
when u use diff gear sets
Will do.
it changes depending what you wear
thanks
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kh6AEV27T5vLpZnLbLraw4 Is this what you're looking for?
Or do you want comparisons with BOTE, Exsang, ETC
nah need a top gear from in-game simc
Kk
so i can see all ur stuff
And set WV to 0 for this sim you want to see?
i had to put that in because of discord
oh kk
Lul
just do 1 other option idc ill tweak it
that definitely works yeah, and 13 is top trinket 14 is bottom trinket
do ur highest set ideally
how come PB still sims higher for me then CT im at 68%haste
okay so its just the last %haste i need for it to be better
he's trolling you
he's telling you to just follow the sims, different stats can put pb ahead of ct for any kind of reason
yeah i know to follow the sims just curious if there was a % you would go to it
Question on Maut mythic, is it worth to Run the leech talent?
I never tried leech but feint damage reduction is hella nice
can someone explain to me the pros and cons of stacking twisted appendage vs expedient? looking at top logs there appears to be no consensus
ive played outlaw most of this tier
TA is if u want to not be rewarded for your play but put your damage in hands of rng gods
Twisted appendage is proc based. Expedient is more stable
is one considered better, or in combination with certain gear or azerite traits or something?
got myself murky signet band 475 with crit stack corruption from weekly
top logs reflect the luckiest of lucky TA procs
not your average unlucky joes pull
and bomer jacket chest
got eb and ss with it
@lean marten Shared it above, if you didn't see. Thanks.
workin on it
what do you guys think about clockwork heart instead of blightborne infusion?
how to use ct in a single target rotation
How much haste would you want for the crimson build?
@verbal radish https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6FpqmNc88Q5MQEweCCGexN This is what i ended up with, adding an exp3 to boots. I think your head and chest azerites are holding you back the most at this point
sims almost same for me (-48dps), depends on your gear probably @raw pecan
ok thanks

clockwork heart shoulders generally better the more of your damage is in the opener
like i'm pretty sure in most profiles they'll be better on 3min sim
I'll give this a look for a moment. Thanks @lean marten
and it's usually +/- negligible difference on 5min
only issue on longer fights is the 1min interval timer can overlap badly (wrathion intermission if you aren't apeing the boss, etc)
if only I didnt scrap them
if i have a normal square icon weakaura that shows up for garrote/rupture/ct, where in the weakaura can i add an affect for when its empowered?
I hadn't read the CT stuff until seeing it in the chat today. Is that another dot you try to time up the best before Exsang?
yes but not in the opener xang
you use ct in the exsang opener
depends on CP rng technically
do i use CT before exsang on opener
so how it is? garrote > rupture > garrote > ct ?
no it replaces the first envenom, is the short answer
thats in AOE
@frigid briar
pretty sure run of the mill ct opener is
garrote > rupture > garrote > vendetta > mut > ct > mut to 5-6 > rupture > exsang
but your garrote will be like 15-16s till exs
100% depends on if you get 6CP with your first Mutilate or not
But honestly just mash whatever tbh the difference is less than 0.2% depending on which logic you use
basically just get ct up with empowered garrotes and rupture right before xsang
If you get 6CP from your Mutilate you just Rupture and Exsanguinate
no point in doing an opener that changes depending on cps tbh
Then put CT up after
for such a small improvement
Gar>Rup>Gar>Vend&Trink>Mut>Rup>Xang>BotE>Mut>Mut>CT
I mean.. it's not hard to internalize, but if you want to ignore it that's fine
is my goto opener
when top gear says to replace vita with spyglass
how good is that
seems like a meh trade off
my sim told me to use spyglass + galecaller, over vita and plumage
If Vita is close I would always use Vita just because the party benefit is definitely worth it
yeah ym sim told me to use spyglass +galecaller is
You wont get to sit in Gale all the time either
galecaller will be a bit of a sim trap i guess
It's not
Exsanguinate snapshots haste, that's literally the whole point of using Galecallers. You don't have to sit inside of it the whole time to get value.
getting 100% utilization on a 1min seems hard compared to like a 2min macro'd in vend
the worst part about playing gcb is needing another gem
SS Rogues used Galecallers all of Uldir, it's nothing new 😛
but it generally doesn't pull ahead of other trinkets if you're only using it for snapshot and moving out of it
That seems pretty hard to believe
realistically there's very few movement intensive fights on reclear anyway
Galecallers is like
i can understand not wanting to play it but like
2.5% higher for me than any other trinket right now lol
idk how much you're moving
if you're playing gcb why not double down and play wv
depends on how much you're moving, but i only know how to sim the stock movement options
Think you are massively underestimating how the GCB and Exsang interaction works
but the sime is getting 100% utilization. if u step out for a few seconds or dont use on CD u probably lost that 2.5% no?
I mean you could make that argument about anything tbh though
yes, but it depends on your other trinket options. for instance, when i sim against 475 socketed vita and 455 coral, galecaller's is barely an upgrade patchwerk and no upgrade with any movement in the sim
GCB is slightly annoying for sure but it's not that bad
so i'd sim it and weigh your options
Given how it gets used in this build
what about vita + gcb? is it too much or ?
Does CT become just another dot to refresh outside of exsang windows? Or is it considered wasted CP outside that period?
I think is overkill a bit
ah ok
You always get more ticks
tbh outside of like
what about crit amounts?
any ideas why its favouring the gcb over other trinkets or is it just the socket? that and its swapping out haste gear for crit mastery pieces quite a bit
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tMoNxNKatwB1S4UhtBKj6i
xanesh moves as well
other rogue in my guild was playing gcb on jaina and that was funny
doesn't she ?
patchwerk sims will usually favor gcb @red bloom
almost at 100k sim wait till i get goraktuls 
even last 2 I've been using gcb for a while and timings are fine if you plan your movement around it
@fleet anchor having for example: 78% expedient, and having around 55% haste, how should I take on other secondary stats?
shrouded suffocation or Nothing personal? ilvl 455
on a fight like shadhar would you keep your vanish
- vendetta
for second phase
if fight is like 3 mins only
so it lines up with exa
like especially nzoth the main thing is a couple times it comes up during beams and you just need to drop it next to a beam so you dont need to move during
yeah
then you use vendetta when vanish comes back
How do you mean Dwarfik?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3M92hGCdwxNvFKSu66HXdv this is pretty funny though
Generally just keep stacking Haste forreeeever 😄
In the pinned note about the quick guide to exsang build the prop is haste > crit. And then other guides I see haste > mastery. Should I be stacking haste mastery gear or haste crit gear...
Other secondary stats end up being pretty close
other secondaries doesnt matter?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iXzY4kHECRzhVnPFVZ23Qm should I apply my 7 Expedients to my gear or should I wait, can't seem to pull out a higher sim than this
To each other
I have very low vers, but it is being backed up by lucid
crit is blightborne
@desert kelp Hard to say.. I think some of those I wouldn't do
But depends on how much you plan on changing your gear
Well, not much to change the gear with for the time being
And if you are using your currency on a Crit set or not
Because honestly if you only care about a Haste set
Nah, just Expedients
Then spend whatever I guess 😛
seems like a low sim ngl
Guys question. The new expedient/Exsanguinate build's opener is still GRGMR like the old one?
I think the only one I'm not a fan of is the ring
Because ideally you want to use Mechagon set
470 vs 475 items is kinda whatever
I mean I can just put the exp from the ring to Bracers
the only slot I have Exp on right now is boots
rest can be placed wherever

I think the dagger is fine too since you can use that as an OH even if you get a M Carapace dagger
The 475 or the 460 one?
hmm
Also I suppose you mean I want both of the damn mechagon rings (since the one I have isn't haste but nature dmg)
In the pinned note about the quick guide to exsang build the prop is haste > crit. And then other guides I see haste > mastery. Should I be stacking haste mastery gear or haste crit gear...
Think I'ma place those Expedients, but leave the 2nd ring without for the Mechagon one to get set
Cause might aswell
hmm crimson tempest outsims Poison bomb in ST?
How is exsang played with CT?
A question to you about IS: Is there a point where pure expedient sims better for you guys? I'm quite certain that this is only due to some insane parses pulling up the average and thus skewing the result towards IS. But still I'm losing 3k dps and I can't figure why. But maybe that's normal. Does anyone have a high parse where IS was parsing worse?
exchange parse for sim, sorry.
can anyone make my sim not bad thx
which crafted legs/boots is haste/mastery and haste/crit?
Crafted gear is randomised
No i know
No no like the name like quickblade or whatever I don't remember
fireflash is crit and feverflare is mastery + haste
IS sims very good but is only that good on a few fights and thus regarded as simbait @analog phoenix
alright thanks!
My pre mythic full haste /expidience / Exan build sims WAY lower than my pre mythic full crit build
im so confused :S i thought the full haste build was the way to go
my crit build is 82k~
it's probably a combination of not having a third SS, running CT without the haste for it to pull ahead of PB, running vigor over DS, etc.
sim all the combos
ultimately you might not have enough haste in general idk
i do have 3x SS
what vop minor doing in the sim
it's showing stygian guise as your helm
Check below - the helmet that is simming 79k is 3x SS
only current gear was 2x SS
If I only play my rogue in keys and run 3x SS / 3x EB should I just go all in on severe/strikethrough?
I'll try again with correct minor, mecha rings and DS/PB
is my azerite really that bad https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/64dfbnSwbNahSJEF1zbeKm
anyone here uses hekili? i am learning the ensang build for the 1 time and i had trhe addon showing me the rotation
but it doesnt use banish or shadowmeld
to reapply empowered garrote
Not really sure. I can vouch for HeroRotation (alpha version) doing the correct stuff generally but not sure about Hekili. HR gets maintained heavily by Rogue mains so generally works right.
i tried, and im using ensang vuild but it shows tb dd build rotation instead
stop using rotation addon
rotation is very simple read up guide/watch vids and just practice it
u'll get it in notime

Hi guys my sim is saying the Raden trinket is a downgrade for me, my guild will start progress on this boss soon, just wondering why ? as most high sims seem to always have it ?https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5cMDRjTv8jocU6j2M5bXcy
How many shrouded suffocation traits do you need to make exsanguinate + crimson tempest work?
Simmed again with correct minors/talents/mecha rings
Now it seems correct
thanks guys <3
so m+ simming is 4 targets 40 seconds no lust?
5-6 more likely
@ebon heath you don't 'need' SS traits per say, exsang will work without for some people, CT is just big haste
having 2 ss traits is good though, a lot of people will have a DD or something on the third slot cause thats how the sim shakes out
Well it's because of higher ilevel shoulders
yeah
And it's totally fine although the 3rd SS is nice
lack of azerite from the vendor, no raden helmet
everyone's rng is a little different
yeah getting Azerite sucks
i need a weakaura to remind me when my bleeds are empowered, anyone wanna share theirs?

Does applying garrote from stealth with 3 sec left overwrite it or does it just not get empowered
Hey there, any advice for essencs/enchant/gems ?? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fBXdvquF4NWQRXRRAaXHH5
With Crimson Tempest, do I just keep the dot up and otherwise just use CP for Rupture/Envenom?
Thanks @balmy condor I actually have 3 DD and 1 SS, Farming echoes now for Expedient III , gonna try it out
only 0.3% dps tho
where do i find the guide to how to play with CT and exang? just got the gear for it but never played it before
@ebon heath just sim it
@runic tinsel guide in the pins, CT is just maintained on single target like any other dot would, don't force it into exsang
then how do i use exang? :p only played assa for this tier
check the pins

Any1 got a "bis" list what gear u wanna aim for ? Not the azerite parts but the rest. or is it just like high ilvl haste > Crit/mastery stuff ?
i was reading through them before asking, not that you told me its literally the first pin...
now* not "not"
anyone got a sim script to sim food/potions?
after vendetta, do i mutilate until full CP or just mut once then rupture before exang?
@lime edge Paste this in advanced sim:
https://pastebin.com/YR4YEKEv
Thanks to @tropic ocean
@runic tinsel again, read the pins
Wait whats CT?
@vagrant hinge work on bote3
Crimson tempest
OH right
thanks
Oh my lord just tried the build out and running out of energy is hard :d
@sweet rampart I cant find how many CP it wants me to do, just "Vendetta > Mutilate > Rupture > Exsanguinate >". I know it might be a dumb question, but im not used to playing rogue so might be something im not aware of.
195% haste with vita + hero jesus
if it doesn't specify an alternate route depending on cps then you just follow the opener
but basically it's going to be 5 or 6cp depending on crits
nvm, after thinking it through for a sec i got it
yeah, already have 3 CP from second garrote. didnt think very far
i made that pastebin not ausrr @pseudo hamlet 
and CT just replaces first envenom right? then just maintain it
hey lads, I'm simming about 1-2k higher with condensed life force than bote, should I trust the sims or the logs?
@runic tinsel technically the best is if your first mut gets you to 6cp you rupture and your first envenom becomes a ct, if it's 5cp you ct first instead
but doing the right thing vs just the same thing every time is something like a 0.2% difference
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8xqZX95s66HuXeiwFnCqbJ
Why does haste sim so low for me? at 4k (60%) atm
should I trust the sim and go other stats or jkust keep stacking
in that scenario where i CT first, when does exang fit in?
grg v m ct m m r exsang
@vagrant hinge work on bote3
@woeful minnow i am but freaky long
ty!
i have another really stupid question, after i exang, do i let the dots run out fully?
Yes
ty
would it be worth putting exp3 on 455 mechagon ring set?
When do you use your galecallers?
@gaunt aspen do you want to farm them at 465? Does other combo of rings in your bags sims better ?
I'm running a crit/versatility build in M+ right now, but do you guys know if it's possible to run a high haste build with comparable results?
From what i saw in high io assas players, they are playing crit strike build i guess its the best for now
40 seconds
its for m+
yea 5 target and 40 seconds
use blood
it really depends on the pulls...if you are doing big pulls the sever/strike thru is better...if the packs are like 2-4 mobs the high haste can be better
Because clf is extremely powerful in such a short sim
i mean
blood cd is over 40 seconds aswell
but i guess im not gonna use clf on a pack
Yes but you get two uses of blood per clf in a dungeon
yea i know
Change it to 2 mins and you’ll see a change
^
A lot of specs do that actually. That’s beside the point though
since when does a pack live for 2 mins
That’s why clf is simming so high
when do 5 targets take 5 mins to die in m+?
they dont
who said anything about 5 mins
what
but its not just clf
its not even telling me to use EB piece
or go crit
40 seconds*
Run the "dungeon sim" option to get a better idea of M+ damage
when you pop blood shit dies in like 20seconds
@keen dome I simmed all my 470 rings and 465 rings and the 455 mechagon ringset sims higher
On the topic of sims, does infinite stars in ST sims assume near perfect stack applications?
not r eally sure what perfect stack applications means
big true...d slice is bad
why would u sim clf for m+
ye, I mean lucky stacks
im redoing my m+ set
so im simming starting from my sub 40 corruption single target set
the result you get is always the mean of the amount of iterations ran
i should put on bote i guess
what key levels do you push?
i dont really push, i just do 16s
realistically i wouldn't be surprised if both iris and clf outperform bote with a 0eb build at this point in any composite sim that isn't pure aoe, in pure aoe i wouldn't be surprised if iris is consistently better
What makes d slice bad specifically for assassination?
I guess I'm really asking how reliable it is. Have 1x R2 IS and 1x R3 IS. I feel I'm over relying on IS. Could replace the R2 with 2x R3 Expedient, but sims 800 dps lower.
dont run stars
and last time checked bad rotation too
when are we using ct(if talented) in exsanguinate build?
how often do you find yourself hitting a single target with nothing else on the screen
Just keep dot up
Infinite stars rank 2 sims higher than my Expd 3. So its want me to run rank 7 exd over my possible rank 10. whats up with that? (Light movement, 8 mins) https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/b9Pp3tYgyQefKfRA1MFLpF
Use ct instead of envenom when dot not active
damn, was worried that might be the case. Guessing exped + appendage?
if i had to guess trying to overcomplicated ilgy sim or something
just do patchwerk 5 mins
Isnt that a good basis?
not rlly
do patchwerk 5 mins and dont sim stars
Okay ill switch
honestly i would just recommend
putting smoething like
bfa.infinite_stars_miss_chance=0.5
and run a top gear
and just leave it there forever
Will do!
and if it's STILL spitting out is
then you can consider it, or consider the environment you're in and whether more, or less than 50% of the stars are going to hit the thing you want them to and change the value if you want to get
specifica bout it
you're never gonna get absolute answers on m+ gear tbh, smoeone can probably give their 'this is what i would play' but it will be based on not much
gearing assassination for m+ is too annoying for me
Hey, whats the idea behind using CT over PB on nzoth? Just currious
like switching shit up depending on the week and the dungeon when you could just switch to outlaw and literally have 1 set for everything
when do we reapply ct?
Well fair enough xD
you keep it up
@cobalt pelican that's brilliant, thank you. Ran again, sure enough IS falls a few ranks: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8od4fzh3xzmB7ekK72kMhW
I dont like outlaw, it just feel like rng spec
why cant sin be the better m+ spec, feelsbad
that's fair, I personally choose that over having to have 7 different sin m+ sets
(number pulled out of my ass)
Yeah i get that
i might just do that
tbh
screw gearing sin for m+
too bad i just scrapped a ton of azerite pieces recently
rip
Oof ^
do you vend - > vanish - gar - x - gar when you get your cooldowns back the first time or the other way around?
u vanish first
and act as if u were opening again
but if u dont need to refresh rupture, u either envenom or mutilate depending on your cp
Is there any dps gain in doing Garrote Rupture Vendetta Garrote Instead of Garrote Rupture Garrote Vendetta
in your opener
ah good to know mate thanks, didn`t see it that way
There was some talk of it in tc research but it’s really iffy if you could get that second garrote inside subt window
Nah u can garrote in it
yes u can lmao
nope
bruh
are u sure its affected by haste
Positive
yes it is
go try it on a dummy i garentee you can garrote in your subterfuge again
do you go accord of haste on rings too?
yes
aight
i guess u can
Yes vendetta shouldn’t be affected but it is
Search for a poster named Yoppa in #tc-research and he asked awhile back. Koji had a discussion about it
@cobalt pelican Darn, still sims higher by 2k dps.
Im not sure how to do the infinite star miss chance (0.5) which is probably the issue
you should just be able to put it into the custom apl box at the bottom, like in the picture
you might have to click on this if it's not open already
for my second vendetta do i wait for exsang to come off cd ?
don't forget about item restoration
can item restore undo scraps?
yes
oh wtf
but they take the residuum back so if you don't have enough it'll just sit in your mailbox with a residuum COD I think
gotcha
Is there an option to uncleanse Cleansed items? 😄
no
I m rading tonight and I have this sim for my trinkets and essences:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sQV6M4nt7VTD2Gpsz8W7dB
Any suggestions regarding those?
Yay! you the best @cobalt pelican I put my gushing wounds bracers on the sim with exp rank 1 and it simmed higher as well by almost 600k
.600k lol
I think you have the gear for CT @fast pine, did you try simming it?
what is CT ?
crimson tempest
ah i never tried. Is it any good? simming it right now
in single target situation do i keep CT always up like my other bleeds
take a look at kojiyama's post from the 29th in #tc-updates @fast pine
What build / corruptions is recommended for trying to do the 5 mask solo visions?
yes you just keep it up
@woeful minnow OK ill check now
Whats the goto opener for CT single target? I'm seeing openers with CT before exsang and ones with CT after exsang
basically if your first mut gets you to 6cp you rupture and exsang without CT, if you get to 5cp you CT first, then apply rupture, then exsang
oh and in the first scenario you just replace your first envenom with a CT
CT sims higher by a close margin.
thanks @woeful minnow
hey fellas for M+ would you use a 465 wep with better stats over a 470? I'm not sure if there's a reliable way to sim for m+ so thought I'd ask here
for the third exang cast, do i use Bote or hold it for vendetta?
i think that is in the pinned guide
@grim trellis always higher ilvl wep in MH
OH can be debatable
you're 1 socket away from that 100k
😄 looooooooool
hopefully tonight raden will drop
it's my first time going MM with my new guild
im gonna get that juicy boost
how reliable is harlan compared to vita? they seem to sim within target error
if they're that close wouldn't you want to keep vita for the party buffing aspect anyway
no fuck those padders lol
rude

should you refresh bleeds outside of the pandemic window just before you use exsang?
if rupture is below 25s
not garrote?
garrote should be above 15s as well
