13s on the other one

#

But one of our Warlocks is going ham on that one

distant lava
#

same thing as psychus man

#

imagine 2 combusts and 1 vend going into it

#

how do you even pad on it

vast forum
#

but why?

#

although i guess it makes sense

distant lava
#

idk we were asked to play it safe

fleet anchor
#

I mean Psychus I'm in MG2 and we don't have a Mage down on that one so it's not so bad, but I don't use CDs on Psychus anyway, just save for coming out on boss

vast forum
#

because if you use CDs on boss, he goes immune 😄

distant lava
#

and the logs weren't changed back then

#

I've been using vend on boss for a while now

vast forum
#

at this point, using CDs on anything other than boss is better 😄

fleet anchor
#

You can get around the boss going immune

distant lava
#

but I remember him dying with the 7th tentacle

vast forum
#

you need to stop dps tho

fleet anchor
#

You just have to slight delay before the RP

distant lava
#

then you have the run of the century to your corpse

fleet anchor
#

We still pushed him sub-20% before going into Mythic phase this week

vast forum
#

well, what might be slight delay for you is ~15-20 sec for us 😄

distant lava
#

I guess we have too many padders

fleet anchor
#

I'm curious to try the P2 kill strat but that probably requires a little more burst than we have available at that timestamp lol

distant lava
fleet anchor
#

Either way we're basically just getting to the point where we're letting first thoughts make us go insane in P3 and killing before any mechanics so it's way nicer than on prog 😄

distant lava
#

I mean

fleet anchor
#

Cutting 2 minutes off the fight is nice

distant lava
#

if chamber is wiping you

#

some peeps are HARD trolling

#

you legit have to click a thing

#

and that's all

fleet anchor
#

lol well happens sometimes if people are dumb but mostly just takes time

distant lava
#

I remember wiping on progress on one of the potential kills

fleet anchor
#

The P2 kill strat is like sub 9 minutes haha

distant lava
#

cause a lock put a soulwell

#

just on a bomb

#

so nobody could click

#

people panic screaming "MY CLICK DOESN'T WORK"

fleet anchor
#

But I think anything now in the 10:30ish range is fine in terms of risk/reward. No P3 mechanics makes it pretty trivial

distant lava
#

then you see 5 " x created healthstones" in chat

fleet anchor
#

Failing the P2 kill strat going insane there is just a hard wipe 10 minutes into the fight

#

Not sure our DPS is quite comfortable enough to make it reliable lol

#

Also those timings would basically require Assassination to use Vendetta on Psychus otherwise you won't even get one during the lust/insanity burn timing

distant lava
#

I guess you could hold

#

the 2nd one

#

in phase 2

#

for that

fleet anchor
#

yeah but then you give up Vanish cleave on the THs which is sad!

distant lava
#

just Ct cleave

fleet anchor
#

Vanish Garrotes are like an extra 1.6m damage or something 😄

#

I'm not really sure the timings would be great for parsing for Assassination anyway

#

P3 strat is easier

#

Either way, anything that skips the clown fiesta that is P3 mechanics is good

#

I sure do love running around as melee for 60 seconds with virtually no DPS uptime. Good fight design. 🤔

silver musk
#

poisened knife wdym

fleet anchor
#

Meanwhile BM Hunters are like "what mechanics?"

#

😛

distant lava
#

"oh my paranoia partner doesn't want to go close to boss ? ok I guess SucksMan "

red bloom
#

Progressing on it now, I never thought I could hate some of my guildies so much

fleet anchor
#

haha

#

I do definitely enjoy fights that make you hate your fellow raiders

distant lava
#

QC

#

yep cock

silver musk
#

tfw priest grips you away from boss and stand still

fleet anchor
#

I believe the same guy who designed N'zoth did Maiden of Virtue, so he seems to highly value raid hate 🤣

silver musk
#

feelsbadman

red bloom
#

I keep getting them jokingly asking why I’m not on my hunter which they know I fucking hate, but they’re not joking RIP MYDUDES

distant lava
#

mistake number 1

#

don't mention a good alt

#

you wanna be safe like me play boomy on the side

#

no immunity wesmart

tropic ocean
#

@fleet anchor how much can you tweak apl that my character doesnt get outsimmed heavily by my shitter alt that killed maut

red bloom
#

@distant lava that should have been the play 😂 😂

fleet anchor
#

lol

#

Ausr, I've been subconsciously sandbagging my Hunter alt

#

By not playing it hardly at all over the last 3 weeks

#

Then I sim it with Expedient vendor adding 2 Expedient IIIs

#

And I'm simming at 103k with scuffed Azerite, no Mythic Vita, and 2 sockets

#

Makes me pretty sad lol

#

If I actually put any effort into my Hunter I'd be like simming 10k higher than my Expedient 28 Rogue lol

#

It's messed up

red bloom
#

My rogue sims much better than my hunter cause I put it in the bin pog

#

It also could have been me making macros for it just to change the icons to all my sin abilities making my RL feel bad for me

fleet anchor
#

Like basically if you have the Skitra bow, random 475s you can toss a couple Severes/Expedients on

#

You will sim 100k+ on a Hunter

#

😛

#

But at this point Rogue is mostly a bottom-end outlier of pure DPS specs. Given that Mage/Hunter/Warlock are all really strong right now. Rogue just hasn't gotten much attention in BfA after the first tier. 😦

red bloom
#

Rogue are still top tier in arena just to throw fuel on the fire of hate rogues get, since arena is a popular way to grind echos, get the the brunt of it from my guild mages and locks for “not being aloud to play cause we’re a shit class” haha

fleet anchor
#

lol yeah Mages and Warlocks aren't good in arena? 🤣

red bloom
#

Lol ikr

ocean torrent
#

can anyone drop me some insight on the "BiS corruption" setup. I have the 7x Exp III and 1x Exp II, but I ran a set of SIMs to confirm 1x Honed Mind III was the best option for corruption as listed on the guide, but SIMs came back as telling me to use a 1x Racing Pulse III but then swapping all my gems from Haste to Mastery.

red bloom
#

Just a few pve heroes thinking they can mindlessly blast arenas and get mad if I or any other rogue can lock them down and not get hit by fast af chaos bolts

vital haven
#

racing pulse can be better

fleet anchor
#

I'm probably gonna ask Paryah to clarify that part of the guide

#

And mention that Racing Pulse/Honed Mind/Void Ritual are all viable top corruption fillers and just depend on your gear stats

vital haven
#

hell if you really want to go full ST an infinite stars with expedient is technically the highest dps you can get

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I mean technically IS is always gonna be highest when it works, and our proc rate can approach DH levels

ocean torrent
#

yea @vital haven I've seen people run 1x IS III and a bunch of Expedients

fleet anchor
#

But I don't think anyone really wants to do the RNG thing lol

vital haven
#

its a set that ill have

fleet anchor
#

But yes

vital haven
#

in the future

fleet anchor
#

I think most people probably will have an IS3 option

#

Either way

#

Racing Pulse+Honed Mind+Void Ritual are all potentially good

#

It 100% depends on your gearing stat itemization

vital haven
#

ye

ocean torrent
#

makes sense

vestal wren
#

i would argue that if dh uses it and the proc rate comes very close to dh that it might become a relevant idea^^

vital haven
#

for me racing pulse is better

fleet anchor
#

Well DH also hate using it too

#

But they don't have much other option

#

I get to listen to our DHs complain about RNG proc rate every raid 😄

vital haven
#

man i remember complaining how broken dhs were gonna be at the beginning of this tier

fleet anchor
#

IS is so much better for them than everything else

vital haven
#

how wrong was i LUL

fleet anchor
#

And none of the stat corruptions are very good for them

#

And GW nerf killed that avenue

#

Probably a lot of them were going to go full GW

balmy condor
#

My DH had 23% damage from IS on our shadhar rekill this week

#

It’s very fun gameplay I hear

fleet anchor
#

Ra-den this week

vital haven
#

good game

fleet anchor
balmy condor
#

Oh my eyes

#

Oh god it’s so much worse

mellow pier
#

Dh has furious gaze tho

vestal wren
#

is pretty sad that dh has no alternative tbh

ocean torrent
#

3x Furious Gaze is busted

fleet anchor
#

DH has a lot of haste sure

#

But like..

#

So do I lol

cobalt pelican
#

being a dh is just suffering at this point

#

they're actually cornered into that build

mellow pier
#

2 immunities, raid cd, infinite leech

#

Boo hoo

#

Theyre fine lol

fleet anchor
#

DH is pretty much in a terrible spot with corruption though

vital haven
#

im pretty sure being a dh in general is not suffering

fleet anchor
#

They have no better option than IS

balmy condor
#

I mean, I think having utility but a shit rotation and garbage gearing

#

Is bad design

fleet anchor
#

lol yeah but I have 74% passive haste

#

With procs and shit I'm like over 200% 😛

mellow pier
#

Theyre over 300

fleet anchor
#

For a smaller percentage of time though

mellow pier
#

With eye beam

#

They have same procs as us

fleet anchor
#

I actually think full Expedient build Rogues probably average more Haste than DHs at this point

ocean torrent
#

my DH has meh gear and have t5 Exp and hits 200% just using Eye Beam

fleet anchor
#

They have the same procs but never run Expedient so get less from them

mellow pier
#

Point is they can afford to run a shitload of IS and have close to same haste as us

#

With full exp

fleet anchor
#

Perhaps, but that requires running full IS 😛

#

The main point is they pretty much have to put all their eggs in the RNG basket, similar to TA Rogues

#

It just sucks to play

#

And has zero skill expression

mellow pier
#

True but i dont think dh players are looking for that tbh

#

Lol

ocean torrent
#

i miss my tendies

fleet anchor
#

I mean I think that's just a stereotype

#

Pretty much all the DHs in my guild have either quit or would quit if we didn't need one in for the raid buff 😛

#

They were great for prog but post-vendor they just suck

lean marten
#

DH is a gateway class

mellow pier
#

Imagine quitting on ur guild cause ur class sucks

#

Quality raider

fleet anchor
#

I mean they have quit playing DH

#

😛

mellow pier
#

Ah

lean marten
#

imagine justifying not having fun playing a game, for any reason

fleet anchor
#

Anyway mostly Blizzard screwed them and a bunch of other specs (including Outlaw tbh) with the GW nerf

mellow pier
#

Imagine only having fun if ur class is brokenly op

fleet anchor
#

Any spec that didn't gain a lot from Stat%

mellow pier
#

But wait it still is

fleet anchor
#

Got screwed by that change pretty badly

mellow pier
#

Rogues dont scale super well either but we still play them

fleet anchor
#

Yeah but Assassination actually has Stat% as our BiS

mellow pier
#

Our top end sim is like a mid tier arms sim lol

fleet anchor
#

Like consider the fact that before the Corruption vendor

#

Despite the memes

#

Sub and Assassination were doing nearly identical damage

#

On most fights

mellow pier
#

Tendy dagger tho

fleet anchor
#

Post-vendor, Assassination is just destroying Sub

mellow pier
#

It was all rng procs

onyx osprey
#

3.5k haste unbuffed + vita enough to play the Garrote build?

fleet anchor
#

GW was going to be Sub's BiS setup and got nerfed

mellow pier
#

Sim it

fleet anchor
#

Just like WW/DH/etc.

#

Most of the low-tier specs got hurt

#

And the top-end specs didn't lol

mellow pier
#

WW is in a real bad spot for pve

#

Like terrible lol

#

Yeah the gw nerf shoulda just been pvp only

#

Ita still stacked in arena even after nerf lol

#

GW would made dh feel a little better I suppose

cobalt pelican
#

honestly post vendor i'd rather play sin than arms on reclears

#

despite the sims

mellow pier
#

Arms depends on weird kill times and shit

cobalt pelican
#

sin is pretty chill atm tbh

#

i like it

#

i'd rather have a geared caster but

mellow pier
#

Yeah u dont have to thibk

cobalt pelican
#

i'm not unhappy with the state of it

fleet anchor
#

For reference though. I checked out compared to one of our DHs. Their 71 Corruption IS6 setup vs. me going 71 Corruption with IS3+Expedient.

mellow pier
#

U can just mongo ur cds tbh lol

fleet anchor
#

On the same fight length

#

I average more IS procs by like 2 😛

#

And sim for higher

regal tartan
#

Why are so many rogues playing with triple SS now?

fleet anchor
#

So I don't really think DHs are really in the healthiest place tbh 😦

regal tartan
#

Is it because of the corruption vendor who has tons of haste?

mellow pier
#

It sims the best

#

With exp

regal tartan
#

Yeh forgot the name :D

#

I tried it too and my damage jump is insane

#

What's the opener for ss rogues with Strategem and Exsanguinate?

#

The usual one or garrote garrote rupture ex

plain thistle
regal tartan
#

Whoops mb, thanks :D

tropic ocean
#

@fleet anchor with full procs and 7x t3+1x t2 with vita i dont get close to what my dh gets

#

😦

muted swallow
#

for the expedent/exsang build whats "high amounts of haste" like % wise lol

regal tartan
#

What's the point of that one honed mind 3 in the bis corruptions of the ss build

slim pebble
#

More bleed damage on proc id guess

strange python
#

because after we have max cloak resist (125 cloak + 10 from essence i believe) 9x exp3 is only 45 corruption

#

while 7x exp3 + 1x exp2 + 1x honed mind 3 is 55 corruption

#

Finally ditched my IS3 lol. 41% haste enough for exsang?

urban bough
#

so i have a problem ^^ since outlaw doesnt makes rly much fun in my opinion i switched from outlaw to assa back and now i need some help from someone who can sim my character cause i rly dont know how to sim it perfectly maybe cause i have less iterations some help would be great 🙂

regal tartan
#

@strange python alright thanks :)

urban bough
#

mhm ok i got it with simming properly but with which corruptions do we play the assa rogue especially in m+? same as outlaw? severe and strikethrough?

woeful minnow
#

yes, and expedient in raids

urban bough
#

ok thanks 🙂

desert orchid
#

So how does exsang actually work? It speeds up the dot tick rate, if you reapply during the pandemic period does it refresh at the faster tick rate?

fleet anchor
#

No

#

Exsanguinate snapshots the hasted tick rate through the duration of the DoT

#

If you overwrite it, it removes the benefit

desert orchid
#

K, so hit it and just refresh right before they drop

wary ice
#

no

fleet anchor
#

So you always want to let Exsanguinated dots fall off

wary ice
#

let them drop

#

then reapply

desert orchid
#

K

#

Do you save vanish for your 2nd exsang?

wary ice
#

vanish after opener garrotes w/exsang drop off

#

2nd exang on cd

desert orchid
#

So no

fleet anchor
#

No, you use it immediately after Garrote falls off, the goal is to get Vanish DoTs within Vendetta

wary ice
#

3rd exsang you can either use on cd or save for vanish vendetta depending on situation

desert orchid
#

Got it, that's what I thought

fleet anchor
#

You'll always get the same number of empowered ticks

#

Regardless of Exsang or not

desert orchid
#

And is tb viable if you don't want to miss with that aoe bleed talent?

#

Err. PB. Not tb. Sorry

strange python
#

its slightly less dmg

desert orchid
#

Crimson tempest of whatever it's called

drifting cloud
#

at high haste ct is like 1k over pb

desert orchid
#

What haste cap should we go for base?

drifting cloud
#
  • free pad 👌
desert orchid
#

Or should I say, is there a thing as too much haste?

strange python
#

neverrr

#

you wont reach that

#

if you have to ask

desert orchid
#

Think I'm at like 50% base

strange python
#

Just tried out exsang, this is pretty fun

#

Getting like 85k+ sustained on dummy, with pretty high burst windows

#

I dig it

#

Now off to farm KR for that trink

desert orchid
#

Which, plumage?

strange python
#

Yeah

desert orchid
#

Is that good now?

#

Think I trashed one of those 3 or 4 weeks ago

strange python
#

Idk, guide says it is the recommended trinket

plain moon
#

So is vigor vs deeper just a matter of how much haste/expidents you are running?

desert orchid
#

Well, running that hastd one from the raid and Harlan's, can't be too bad off

solid warren
#

Si basically its

strange python
#

yeah im just rocking vita and dragonscale

desert orchid
#

I need to get thd hastd ring in me ha though still

solid warren
#

Opening garrote , rupture , exsang ans after vanish vendetta right ?

desert orchid
#

Wish this thing would quit misspelling haste

#

Isn't it garrote, rupture, garrote, mut to full cp, vendetta, essence/trinket, rupture then exsabg?

#

Maybe swap essence/trinket and vendetta around

#

Then when empowered and exsang garrote falls off vanish and reapply thd buffed garrote. That's the just I got, might be wrong though

solid warren
#

Oh ok ty ! Will try that

woeful minnow
#

check the guide

#

first pin

tropic ocean
#

@desert orchid this sounds very wrong brother

#

garrote, trinket,rupture,garrote vendetta, mut if cp =6 rupture, exsang bote, mut, mut ct

strange python
#

Is exsang build okay for M+? Not doing super high keys or anything

#

Or should I just swap to a standard m+ build

tropic ocean
#

yes

#

exsang is fine

lean marten
#

its a good all-rounder cuz of CT

tropic ocean
#

wouldnt stack haste tho

strange python
#

So with CT do I just replace envenom with it?

#

Or how does that owrk

#

work*

#

oh nvm, i just read the description. never used it

#

So if i'm getting it right, just use CT during opener and refresh whenever it's about to drop?

#

And env in between

#

pins

#

click guide

#

read

#

Yeah I did, it doesn't say anything about how to use it. Just the opener.

#

its very complicated

#

see you have 6 combo points

#

so your first ct gotta have 1 cp

#

then after that 2 cp

#

and so on

#

you cycle through it

#

Yeah this CT rotation makes no sense to me

#

Losing like 10k dps on it

vast forum
#

@strange python btw there is such a thing as too much haste, unfortunately

#

i did a 7exp3 1exp2 1hm3 sim on my gear with galecaller and vita and it wanted a few vers and 1 crit gem 😦

strange python
#

haste lord

#

If exsang comes off CD, and I have like.... 22 sec on rupture, should I refresh rupture then exang? Or just hold exsang til rupture refresh is coming up?

vast forum
#

refresh rupture or plan ahead

strange python
#

yea it had me gemming weird things lately

#

So it's better to refresh way ahead than hold exsang CD?

#

but i wrote he probably wont reach that point from where hes at now

vast forum
#

i guess galecaller/vita/2xOP combo really overwhelms you with haste 😄

strange python
#

i think there was a magic number for what duration rupture the apl looks for before using exsang right?

tropic ocean
#

its not really complicated

#

@strange python 26+ seconds

strange python
#

Yeah I mean the guide says >25 seconds

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

pretty much same

strange python
#

But if say you have 23 seconds, do you refresh rupture right then and there and then exsang or just hold exsang

tropic ocean
#

dont hold exsang

scarlet sequoia
#

it says exactly how to use CT in the guide? what are u on about

tropic ocean
#

iirc u will just put max cp rupture over <25 duration one

#

not 100% sure tho

#

can probably see from quick sim what apl does

strange python
#

kk. And it says how to use CT in the opener but that's it, doesn't say about using throughout the fight. idk i never use CT i don't know the intended use

tropic ocean
#

? u just keep it up

#

so if you would envenom and ct is in pandemic or not on target u press ct instead

#

thats all

#

and

strange python
#

Okay ez pz, that's all I needed. I kind of figured but juggling three finishers was just throwing me off

tropic ocean
#

maybe raz should add general rotation into guide as well

#

so its not in a different place

strange python
scarlet sequoia
#

general rotation

#

i can take a gyazo gif and scroll through a log

#

rofl

strange python
#

then people complain its too fast

#

scroll slower reee

scarlet sequoia
#

im not gonna sit there and write every global u press

#

that seems mega dumb

strange python
#

lol jeeze sorry guys, I just didn't see it mentioned in that section

#

SORRY

scarlet sequoia
#

its okay

jovial haven
#

I think sim uses it at 4+ cp with 2+ targets, but in ST it’s just another finisher

arctic walrus
#

also a specific build guide shouldn't really cover how you go about your rotation/priority

#

wowhead icy veins and rh all have that covered on their own, even with whatever talent you have selected

minor thicket
#

why do we focused resolve now over unbrideled?

lean marten
#

it does more dps

solar flicker
#

tf does general rotation even mean

#

keep bleeds up smack envenom button?

civic hatch
#

Anyone else using galecallers boon over plumage? I’ve got no plumage and a 475 boon but I kinda hate positional trinkets but it sims higher than plumage for exang build

tropic ocean
#

no

#

@scarlet sequoia well ravenholdt already has the basic rotation/priority

#

just in a different place than exsang guide so

#

might want to add it to there cuz u know new players might think its different

#

who knows

scarlet sequoia
#

i disagree

#

im not doing that anyways

late vessel
#

Is assass at all useful for M+?

royal lantern
#

does more or less the same dmg as outlaw but less utility cus vanish is a dps cd for assa, and utility cd for outlaw+outlaw has gouge wich is huge in m+

feral flare
#

So ive been practicing with high corruption for the past few days. 160 base. It's.. interesting to say the least. But with the weakaura im finding it manageable. Barely. Ive only tested it so far in heroic NWC. My raid group is 5/12M. We're progressing on Xanesh. Im just curious to know... am I a mad man for running 160cor? Its almost killed me twice I think so far in my shakedown runs. Next week it'll go below 59 so atleast Ill loose the extra effect on a TFB strike. Thoughts?

storm perch
royal lantern
#

running over 39 during progression is a big nono imo

quartz depot
#

how the fuck do you even equip 160 corruption

feral flare
#

Problem is im being smoked on the meters while the rest of the guildies run high cor. Until now I was the running the lowest at 39

#

160 base. 61 actual.

royal lantern
#

who the fuck cares about meters

storm perch
#

I can understand a copy, but what with the eye radius?

royal lantern
#

like

#

who

#

if you die, you do 0 dps

#

if you keep running around/use cloak sprint too avoid things/eyes you dont have the abilitys for utility moments

cobalt pelican
#

just.. play better

feral flare
#

Sure. But if I can avoid the eyes and TFB then... no problem, right?

#

we just started Xan. Not stuck.

royal lantern
#

^

#

we STILL tell people too go under 39 for carapace/nzoth re-clears cus we hate random corruptions wipes

fringe socket
storm perch
#

I guess with 160 eye radius will be like whole zanesh's platformytho

cobalt pelican
#

he's saying 160 before resist

#

it's not that insane really

#

i play '155'

#

so it's like 61 corruption or whatever

feral flare
#

Yes 160 base. 61 actual. The eye is roughly the size of Id say Thrall's throne room.

storm perch
#

Ah well

cobalt pelican
#

it's certainly playable but i mean idk

feral flare
#

So those 5masks will be fun 🙂

storm perch
#

Better to get 59

cobalt pelican
#

xanesh has 0 relevant dps checks

feral flare
#

Ive seen the snare. What causes that? I thought that was from being hit by TFB?

cobalt pelican
#

and you shouldn't be on the bottom of the meter regardless of corruption in a low end guild if you're playing well

feral flare
#

59 will be next week,

storm perch
#

The biggest problem on xanesh, if you are football player, copy will be always on you

#

Cause of the debuff

feral flare
#

Its not so bad. Just a of the meta classes that can allow for it like DHs...

#

just a few*

#

DH's, Warrios, Mages... cant keep up.

quartz depot
#

i never played above 39 in prog

#

just cba dealing with things

feral flare
#

I wouldnt mind going back below 39. My heart would thank me.

#

Ill post a log next chance I get at 39 to see if theres things im missing. Gear wise Im missing all the EP trinkets. Gor mantle, CLF rank 3 and those ring pairs. Sims at around 75k. Beyond playing better I just wonder what obtaining all those pieces would do for me.

strange python
#

linking a sim is better for us to see what your gear looks like

cobalt pelican
#

75k is pretty low at this point so i'm sure there's quite a bit you're m issing

strange python
#

and u can go into gear compare to see what they do for you

main forge
#

Eh despite what I thought. The EP trinkets aren't as good anymore. I think that Raz guide favors other ones now.

rich trellis
#

is it worth playing assassination in m+ tyrannical weeks or stick with outlaw? any thoughts

feral flare
main forge
#

Meh. I feel assassination lacking in M+. Especially since you need SS + EB. So if you have that it might be comparable.

dull crypt
#

Why bod major o:

feral flare
#

All of that is what RB is telling me to do. I understand I may have to bench that mentality at some point.

main forge
#

With chain pulling, it can be difficult to get a restealth too.

dull crypt

If I were you I'd try and get rid of IS and replace it with expedient/mind flay

feral flare
#

I have tried that. I got burned real hard.

dull crypt
#

for 61 corruption and the gear you have the sim is pretty low because of your corruptions aswell

main forge
#

IS is a sim trap.

feral flare
#

Im sure it is, but even with IS in the sims I feel like it should be more.

dull crypt
#

It's really unrewarding for rogues aswell

ocean drum
#

guys.. even though guide says if you got 5 CP after mut you'd use CT before 2nd rupture, meaning you'd use exs at around second 9.. it kinda feels bad to me since you "wasted" that much time on this 3 SS + sub garrote and it feels some less bursty? or is it just me? 😄

main forge
#

It's fine for shadhar but even my latest log on shadhar. expedient pulled ahead.

rich trellis
#

fair, i wasn't sure if anyone had some experience with the higher ST damage of assass possibly making some runs easier with tyrannical

feral flare
#

And I did try an No IS build. It may be a case of just not enough expedient, but the performance was bad to say the least.

dull crypt
#

rogue can still do good ST with triple SS and a mixture of TTK and NP in m+

#

for tyrannical

#

I think you just dont have very much base haste gear

#

so expedient doesnt really do much for you

#

actually youve got more haste than i first thought

#

isnt worldvein a much better major essence for you in that build than bod is?

feral flare
#

Yeah all my gear has haste on it except my boots.

#

With 1 ally it is.

#

334 dps difference with 1 ally last I checked

strange lichen
#

Is 3 SS pretty much required to play sim? My single target is higher as outlaw but my ilvl is 4 lvls higher with 470 / 465 compared to my 465/460 outlaw weapons

#

To play sin*

dull crypt
#

in m+ kinda

sly fern
dull crypt
#

vita just gives a huge amount of haste

#

imagine if youre in a party and 5 people have it

sly fern
#

I agree. But I thought that vita give more dps than any other trinkets to you personally. Am I wrong?

dull crypt
#

It does anyway yeah because of the raw haste

#

especially with your haste build

latent field
#

That’s not what his sim results say

sly fern
#

Yea. That's why I asked 🙂

cobalt pelican
#

for a lot of people (my profile included), vita is better than dice for personal dps before considering the group buff

#

it seems pretty common that mid geared characters end up using expedient and trying to force the build that's naturally best for better geared characters

#

and end up stat deficient in other areas

#

dice probably covers some of that

brave escarp
#

My sim shows that I should not be using any haste enchants/gems despite expedient stacking. Is that normal?

cobalt pelican
#

it can happen, it's kinda unlikely though

brave escarp
#

Interesting.

sly fern
#

@cobalt pelican thx for answer. It seems that you are right and I need some other stats. Probably better azerith gear
I spec to exsang build just because it started to sims better for me

cobalt pelican
#

as long as you're sure you have replace ticked

#

and have alternatives in the sim

royal lantern
#

haste gems only started too pull over crit at like 3x expedient

cobalt pelican
#

should be fine

royal lantern
#

for me

brave escarp
#

I'm at x3 expedient >.<

main forge
#

I'm happy that I had top dps on shadhar despite missing raid by an hour because I fell asleep. Although I'm scared that in top dps ....

#

We were missing our best dps. I just got lucky on that end.

honest iris
#

what crit % do you want to be at?

main forge
#

110% is what I want to be at.

#

But in reference to what for real? M+ or raid? And as the usual note we don't have % to hit. We just sim and see what comes out better. Our stat weights are fairly even.

main forge
#

anyone got a good guide for what to run for 4 and 5 mask runs? I really hate doing visions, they make me tilted at times with adds and the like, and just want a good setup to aim for doing them(essences, guessing azerite for expedient build is fine) or any other tricks y'all do? I only seem to struggle on thrall and the add pull before rexxar.

strange python
#

you can swap to outlaw to grappling past pack before rexxar

#

and what problem do u have with thrall?

serene osprey
#

good spot to cloak of shadows too, rexxar is usually done with orb + gift proc

strange python
#

Im at the point where I kill him in 8 seconds

#

so I just cloak the first void quill

#

on thrall you can sap and blind both adds to make it a lot easier

tall basalt
#

ok dumb question but

#

why would you want over 100% crit?

tacit charm
#

I can usually be in an orb and kill rexxar

tall basalt
#

wouldn't anything over 100% be wasted

strange python
#

I'm pretty sure he was memeing

main forge
#

Thrall is just me being bad, I think i burn him too fast, and the phases just fly by and I take that easily avoidable stun too much

tall basalt
#

i see

serene osprey
#

yea that frontal cone is crazy sanity loss, adds up

main forge
#

Yeah... I was being a dick. about that crit thing

strange python
#

get the weakaura for visions too if you're having trouble

tall basalt
#

gotcha gotcha

#

i figured either you were trolling or i've spent the last 4 expansions misunderstanding how the crit stat worked LOL

main forge
#

I just like to see big numbers... you know 9,999 ruptures.

serene osprey
#

whats real 100% crit anyway? like 102.6?

tall basalt
#

how much of a difference do you guys think it would make if the energy cost of mutilate and garrote went down by 5?

#

🤔

serene osprey
#

a lot of us are basically gcd capped, so not really much atm

ripe gulch
#

u know ur fucked when ineff sims highher than other corrupts for you

#

lnao

main forge
#

so for visions, essences should be... breath major and minors purification, iris, memory ? or is there a better setup?

ripe gulch
#

just go m+ build

drifting cloud
#

purif minor slaps

#

major bote or breath both work

ripe gulch
#

blood major, minors breath cnf and u can use purification

#

i just pull the whole startign area and blood it down

#

with hidden blades

rancid bobcat
#

there's not really some magic combination

#

ease of doing it is definitely more reliant on your overall gear

main forge
#

yeah, I know, just making sure I am not far off from what i plan on using

digital cosmos
#

is razor coral still a borderline bis? running dragonscale and vita, but guild wants to run EP for mages to get font, wonder if i should tag along for razor coral

drifting cloud
#

better than dragonscale

digital cosmos
#

yea ive been trying to replace dragonscale by grinding for either loaded dice or spyglass. figured coral might be even better

jolly helm
#

Is there a magic number for the amount of haste I should have for the exsang build to be preferable?

rancid bobcat
#

do you not have a better on use

dense blaze
#

Coral is a downgrade across the board for me these days, feels good

drifting cloud
#

compared to what

dense blaze
#

Vita and plumage

rancid bobcat
#

gale or plumage

drifting cloud
#

my 445 socket coral beats everything except a 475 gcb

dense blaze
#

You hate to see it

fallen shuttle
#

Hey guys, I'm trying to build up on the exang build, what's the general consensus on Blightborne vs Heart of Darkness?

drifting cloud
#

not really I dont mind it

#

people overexaggerate, coral was fine for a year suddenly everyone think its terrible :d

dense blaze
#

hod sims better with short fights

forgot about plumage. god i hate kr

I love KR.

coral is actually still better for me

#

but fuck using coral dude

#

trinket is still top tier

royal lantern
#

1,4-2k crit is too stronk

#

I was suprised they didnt nerf it at nya launch

wary ice
#

The exsang guide mentions the plumage as being BIS; but im simming galecallers higher (which is lower ilvl and missing a socket) do i trust my sim here or is there something im missing?

tribal obsidian
#

think you literally need best everything for plumage

vital haven
#

nah there trinkets that can be better depending on your gear

#

gcb being of them

wary ice
#

Got it

#

Do we delay exsangs for GCB?

vital haven
#

i havent used it in a while

#

im sure someone else can answer

wary ice
#

I guess you actualyl dont care, as long as you have everything for the vanish vendetta 2nd pot

#

might as well get as many cds out as possible

rancid bobcat
#

the sims dont sync intermediate uses

tribal obsidian
#

shouldnt it line up anyway because you are saving second vanish for vend

wary ice
#

so just use stuff on Cds and save for 2ns vanish?

tribal obsidian
#

i think you use on cd everything except saved second vanish for vend so those two always line up

scarlet sequoia
#

galecallers is better if you can stand in it for the full duration

serene osprey
#

does galecallers get you towards the top of the meter at pull like plumage does? that's like 75% of what I care about these days tbh

#

Gotta look good on the prog wipes

steep plover
#

If i wont be mythic raiding anytime soon will heroic versions be fine? Or are there better choices at higher ilvls

cobalt pelican
#

gcb is more dam on the opener than plumage i'm p sure

#

the inter-vendetta use is so like

#

low value

#

so i imagine the majority of the dps gains over plumage are on the vend uses

#

but you can just sim 40sec or something and get a reasonable result

serene osprey
#

Nice, have to try that for our no mage, no warlock raden strat

wary ice
#

im going to stick with plumage cause its easier to use :/

#

ima smol brain man

#

500 damage on the sim will get rekt as soon as i get incerated during vend :/

fathom swift
#

Most important part of gcb is just having the haste when you use exsang tbh

vast forum
#

ye

rancid bobcat
#

maxed plumage and coral don't even show up

vast forum
#

that's actually pretty interesting

#

i'm surprised your vita has a mastery gem but

#

dice outsimming vita?

long portal
#

Mine does that also when i use GCB

cobalt pelican
#

do you have vers gems in here

#

i think i'd always rather gem vers if required and not play conflict minor if possible

rancid bobcat
#

nah vers usually never makes it in

#

so i cut it to fit the sims in

cobalt pelican
#

it might if your sim is unironically thirsting hard enough to want conflict

#

98 vers is very low

rancid bobcat
#

but my guild can't do good formless uptime

#

you still have 2x hod worth of vers

cobalt pelican
#

i suppose

#

that puts you at like what 250 i guess

rancid bobcat
#

well im gonna swap out the belt soon

cobalt pelican
#

yeah idk stats are wild

#

like whatever i do dice won't show up for my character in a million years, but i also have way more balanced stats than you (which isn't necessarily a good thing i suppose)

rancid bobcat
#

i mean with sockets you have 550 stat to dole out to whatever you want

#

so if the sims wanted vers it could socket it in

cobalt pelican
#

this doesn't have vers though right, but i guess you've checked before

rancid bobcat
#

well im rerunning it for the first time in a while

cobalt pelican
#

i actually have a 475 dice sat in my bags that's been there for like

#

10 weeks

#

with 0 reason to use it

rancid bobcat
#

this sim did run vers gem

#

you can check in run sim again

cobalt pelican
#

yeah i don't doubt it it's just

#

weird

strange python
#

I dont think it simmed void though?

rancid bobcat
#

stats dont have to be balanced

cobalt pelican
#

they don't have to be balanced

#

but usually

#

if you have 0 of a stat

#

regardless of how your spec interacts

#

you want some of that stat

#

for example there are shadow priests who had to move over to conflict minor or gem interim vers despite 'hating vers'

#

and dice itself like

#

isn't a good trinket

#

it's not bad

#

but if it's good it's usually because it's giving you something you need

#

not because it's inherently good

anybody knows why recently I feel like im always out of energy?

do you run like 5% haste?

well then

ionic vault

whats the target?

strange python

Nothing

#

There isnt a target cap on stats

you just sim what you have

ionic vault

Like I said I havent changed my gears in over a month but I just noticed recently

strange python

maybe much downtime on bleeds?

rancid bobcat

thats just really low

ionic vault

its not so much on boss fights, more when im doing wq

strange python
#

idk

#

your haste is just super low

ionic vault

what do you roll with ?

strange python
#

Im 73%

#

because I got expedient stacking

thingken about it maybe it really is worth just relying on dice/hod for off stats

i should prolly check my character with some of my poop pieces replaced

#

meh

strange python
#

but during world quests u can just get perma energy resets from rupture @ionic vault

ionic vault

I usually open with garrote and the mut till I can hit a 5cp ruptre but they close to die by then

how is rupture reset energy^

"If an enemy dies while afflicted by your Rupture, you regain energy based on its remaining duration"

Is it worth buying another Expedient III just to hold onto incase i get a better piece of gear to put it on or just save my echoes?

do u need m+ corruptions?

Outlaw gang in M+ so im good with that

then i would say it's worth to buy one more

there is a guide

#

you can ask specific questions here though

#

yes

but yes

#

with DS u use finishers at 5/6

#

that is in the guide

#

I would suggest that you read the guide and then ask questions after 🙂

dull crypt

unless you've already got bis pieces with expedient on its always worth buying in advance

rancid bobcat

vers comes into play only if can wear formless

nice..

i checked some stuff for my profile and dice is like +91 for clf and +636 for bote so i guess is hould socket it one day

pretty low down my list of give a shits for now i guess

i need to get me one of those 98 necks some day..

coarse carbon
#

With DS, what break points are we going to want to pandemic non-empowered garrotes and rupture? Are we wanting to also pandemic CT or let it fall off?

cobalt pelican
#

pandemic is always 30% of duration you're applying

#

so garrote won't ever change

#

others depend on the cps you apply

coarse carbon
#

Gotcha, easy. Thank you 😄

cobalt pelican
#

for example rupture is 4cp is 6s, 5cp is 7.2s, 6cp is 8.4

#

same applies for ct

Fantastic. Thank you for the help!

Does anyone have the sims laying around for the Severe / Strikethrough build as well as the Expedient sims ? Can't seem to find them

spark cloud
#

So guys im currently working on the expedient build, as a casual player its gonna take me a while, but what i would like help with is what should i focus on trying to upgrade first? i dont raid, i do mythic+ and i conquest cap every week

strange python
#

what will you be using the expedient build for if you dont raid?

spark cloud
#

honestly ive gotten a taste of it and the amount of haste you have with it is so so satisfying and fun to use

#

in a fight when i went up to 156% haste it was just unlimited potential and i loved how good it felt

strange python
#

you could start by farming galecaller's trinket and another one of the mechagon rings (the from behind one)

#

you should also want blood rank 3 and get breath rank 3 asap

spark cloud
#

yeah that other mechagon ring ive been trying for but no luck. the galecallers im assuming to replace the spikes trinket?

strange python
#

yep

#

since if you dont raid you wont get a vita from ra-den

spark cloud
#

yup im working on the rank 3 essences as well! they're taking me a while to catch up on

#

breath rank 3 isnt too far off for me, im almost revered with them. but blood rank 3 i need like 10k more honor haha that one will take a while

strange python
#

i think you only need revered now to buy rank 3

spark cloud
#

yeah rank 3 breath is revered, im almost there. stil honnored

#

i got the mechagon "if you hit 3 different abilities"

surreal summit
#

Hmm i don't get this, with the triple SS build we open with Garrote obviously, but i land on 3 combopoints, and the guide says i should use rupture right after. Do we double garrote to land on 6 or?

scenic shale
#

@surreal summit do you know how pandemic effect works?

surreal summit
#

Refreshing dots etc right

scenic shale
#

do you play with exanguinate too?

surreal summit
#

So by extending garrote with double application at start, i gain the 6cps i need for rupture

#

yeah

scenic shale
#

when u get 6 combo point rupture its not the highest duration u can have before exsanguinate

#

so you do it on 3 combo points

#

then you can refresh it with pandemic effect

#

you will have a longer duration

surreal summit
#

ohhh

scenic shale
#

than just 6 combo points

#

maximizes the efficiency of ur exanguinate

surreal summit
#

Makes sense

#

Does the pandemic work for Garrote / Rupture only

#

or is Crimson included in that one?

scenic shale
#

i dont really run crimson tempest :/ so i couldnt answer that

#

but i dont think it is part of the opener

#

pandemic effect should work on any dot

#

pretty sure it works

#

you do it when there are 2 seconds left or something

#

since its already on a low timer just 12 seconds

surreal summit
#

yeah it's rather annoying that crimson is in the game 😛

#

simming poisons bomb vs crimson now, hope poison bomb comes out on top

#

There's a 0,4% dps difference here

#

One thing i don't get, is why is im so low compared to other classes... but i guess IF and stuff liek that just sims higher

#

@scenic shale would ya mind taking a look at my sims? gear aswell

scenic shale
#

im kinda new to this patch i quit after bod started actually 3 weeks ago, still learning more abour corruption, essences and new stuff

#

but sure ill look at your sims and see if i can help

visual kiln
#

Im playing master assasin. Question is how do i do the vanish combo with blood? I get full rupture+garrote, vendetta, then toxic blade and vanish? And use mutilate to break vanish and blood after? Or use evenom to break? Also not sure when to press blood

#

New to assa peeporeallysad

turbid galleon
#

Check the guide in the pins

visual kiln
#

Pin says blood into vanish + finisher(evenom) while tb is up with vendetta. When i sim the sim says use tb after vanish in sequence. Any benefit to use tb after vanish? Or can i do it before?

strange python
#

The assassination essence overview in the pins seems outdated. Or is it still relevant?

feral flare
#

Also.. is there anything else I can post for troubleshooting?

#

Besides RB

#

I sim 4k higher with a t3 infinite star, but im trying to eliminate it.

vital haven
#

is that the best essence combination you have?

#

you dont have r3 blood or r3 clf?

feral flare
#

I do have r3 blood, but it sims much worse then Breath. No r3 CLF.

livid hull
#

Breath is a sim trap most people don’t use it if you look at logs

drifting cloud
#

breath is not a sim trap

loud light
#

^

#

you can at least make an argument that it's hard to use as well as the sim in multitarget, but patchwerk is very straightforward

feral flare
#

Those logs have 3min kill times. We're at 6min roughly.

vital haven
#

i mean idk

#

seems pretty equal to me

feral flare

I like patchwork as a baseline. Ill use Helter Skelter sometimes for more realism. But even that doesnt help me much

#

84k..wh.. how?

#

1min?

livid hull
#

Cause he’s simming 5 mins

drifting cloud

you have everything disabled ..

no buffs, no lust

helter skelter is a nonsense sim, btw

vital haven

ye

#

Oh.

#

I do that for a baseline number

livid hull
#

Basically you should just get more haste amps buttttttt a bit late for that now

vital haven
#

well no this is for raiding

feral flare
#

I figure the buffs will be there regardless.

vital haven
#

ah ok

drifting cloud
#

yeah thats why you sim with them

vital haven
#

there is nothing that stands out to me with your gear

drifting cloud
#

I mean everyone else will, how are you going to compare sims

vital haven
#

maybe put on more corruption pieces 26 is a tad too low

livid hull
#

^

#

Stack haste amps

feral flare
#

26... crap. Thats wrong. Ill have to redo it.

drifting cloud
#

you just need to farm more echoes

feral flare
vital haven
#

ye dont sim without buffs unless you wanna sim for like solo content

feral flare
#

You think thats why Breath is simming better? No buffs?

vital haven
#

well idk the theorycrafting behind it but ye im going to assume that is the case

feral flare
#

Makes me wonder how much its been effecting my corruption sims ive been pounding my head over for days.

vital haven
#

really breath major is fine as you can see from my link

#

its just rarely used as a major

feral flare
#

Do you just check "optimal raid buffs" for the sim?

vital haven
#

ye thats fine

feral flare

I was able to recreate your sim. Ty. Thats.. interesting. The inclusion of deeper strat as well.

depends on the rest of your gear and etc

feral flare
#

So im just wondering if maybe I should go back to using Infinite Stars given what I have for gear. Heres a sim with no IS. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2Dp4EDsYLnxwhDtzk1yDe and then a top gear sim with it. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/et1DnQQNUjYdrnypnRiY4P About a 4k dps gain. I know IS is a crap shoot, but given the fact that the IS build has be loosing two gushing wounds and a severe1 im wondering if it may be worth it. I keep the rest of the expedient I have.

vital haven
#

IS is good for ST fights that have a good duration

#

the longer the better

#

you also need to be aware that you will need a non IS set as well

urban bough
#

im thinki9ng about picking ct in m+ instead of poisen bomb? what do you think? is it worth picking it?

teal geyser
#

usally u always use crimson tempest in dungeon excapt for temple and KR i guess
and if u run the expedient build now u still use it even on single target fights meaning u use CT all the time

feral flare
#

Hmm. 20k for Gorak Tuls Mantle. I have 13k. Enough for two random rolls... what do you do? 😛

last gyro
#

same for me but I'm saving it up

#

Gorak tul is like 4k dps gain

So god damn tempting.

Hey I'd like to know what are my best talents for assa rogue m+, is dungeon slice on raidbot a good tool for it ?

spice surge
#

Why wouldnt they stack

#

Ofc they do

worldly fable
#

dslice is not good for sin, the general consensus is to go 2/2/3/x/(2?)/2/1or3 , stack echoing blades and shroud suffocation azerite traits and use bote major iris/botd/cns-iris

tranquil moat
worldly fable
#

They do? neat

distant lava
#

nobody goes 2/2/2 anymore

worldly fable
#

I mean yes, when you stack expedients

#

You dont need vigor

distant lava
#

wait I'm dumb

worldly fable
#

But if he;s asking for starter stuff 99% he wont have expedient

distant lava
#

I thought you meant azerite

cunning geyser
#

I see some hidden blades, poison bomb, crimson tempest, how would I know what's best

worldly fable
#

Hidden blades is kinda poo, PB and CT depending on which dungeon and what affixes

cunning geyser
#

I'mm full expedient and severe I have both

worldly fable
#

aha

cunning geyser
#

I play outlaw m+ so I got severe/strikethrough and assa raid so full expedient

#

but I want to try assa m+

tranquil moat
#

Since I don't have expedient, do I go crit or vers?

worldly fable
#

I think what corruptions and traits you use depend on which dungeon and what affixes

#

So, if you do small pulls 3x SS+HoD and expedients will be best

#

Big pulls 3x SS+EB and crit corruptions

#

Chaos you need trinkets, thats for sure, even a 445 vita would be best than the mechacycle/cannon/mydas

@worldly fable Thanks dude, i'll try and spam some freehold and raid then.

#

I've got some echoes for expedient, should I start rolling some bits?

drifting cosmos
#

Appendage is not particularly good

#

Too much rng in practice, in Sims it's not a simbait like stars

feral flare
#

Just switched to deeper strat and i find im having a hardtime filling out the extra combo point. Should i go for a third mut or should I env at 4cp?

drifting cosmos
#

Mut

feral flare
#

Whats the minimum? 5?

#

And what about refreshing rupture? always 5+?

drifting cosmos
#

Most of the times yes 5+

hushed torrent
#

@drifting cosmos So the only really way to go atm is expedient build? which is like 7 exp 3?

drifting cosmos
#

Well I woundnt say the only way but definitely the optimum way

#

I think after a certain point of haste you just plug in a hone mind

#

Check Raz s guide

tranquil moat
#

oh shit

hushed torrent
#

@drifting cosmos 12k echoes = 2 exp id have to wait forever for it to come back up and be optimal just doesnt seem worth it

worldly fable
#

Could be higher, just fucked up some purifies

#

I'm also using your higher ilvl boots

#

You can buy another pair off the AH

tranquil moat
#

i'll have a look at your link thanks 🙂

worldly fable
#

I'm not super into sin, but from what I've seen maximum expedients with exsang will sim the best

#

But if you want to use the same gear for outlaw you can just use haste+crit gear with severes/strikethroughs and toxic blade

#

wont be super far behind, and if you're not progressing mythic raiding it wont really matter

dull crypt
#

Is force multiplier/quick nav viable for exsang or is that a stupid idea

vast forum
#

Deadly/quick usually best but sim it

worldly fable
#

quick nav is the standard, the 2nd one is usually deadly nav, but you should sim it either way

ancient cosmos
#

is shrouded suffocation the best trait ?

dull crypt
#

Hmm top gear actually says force multiplier/quick nav, also wants me to go clf major formless void minor, never played those before

worldly fable
#

Bote is generally not the highest siming essence but it is generally accepted as the best because it makes your rotation smoother

#

since double CPs from mutilate and stuff

#

botd/clf generally sim the highest in patchwerk sims

dull crypt
#

just got the rotation and opener down with bote major aswell, so probably not worth learning something new before tomorrow

#

we're progressing vexiona zerg so just want reliable damage

scarlet sequoia
#

botd is complete garbage for the ss exsang build

opaque relic
#

Should I use BotE even tho it sims 2k less than CLF on patchwerk?

worldly fable
#

essentially it's supposed to be that the raw damage from botd surpasses the multipliers from bote

#

however botd is generally frowned up

#

(unless you're almost bis)

dull crypt
#

CLF feels a lot more comfortable than I thought, I take it you just use it off CD because it never lines up after the initial burst?

worldly fable
#

I cant answer that

mighty elm
#

depends on your killtime

#

if fight is long enough, just line it up with vendetta again

glad horizon
#

i have no idea what general corruption setup to go for considering it seems to be expedient best for raid and severe for m+?

#

Hey guys, when is Shrouded Suffo x3 better than double dose/nothing pers?

#

is there a haste breakpoint?

#

currently rocking 37% base haste

strange python
#

sim yourself

ancient cosmos
#

isnt there a definitive answer on traits ?

strange python
#

No

ancient cosmos
#

cause on warcraft logs everyone seems to be running shrouded suffo x3

strange python
#

they are also all max geared

#

with most bis

#

but it will almost certainly be better when u got ra den mythic helm + carapace mythic chest + gorak tul's mantle

ancient cosmos
#

so until you can get 3x of shrouded, you go for double dose and nothing personal ?

strange python
#

you go for what sims tell you

ancient cosmos
#

alright thanks

dull crypt
#

The SS build only works if you're very geared

#

or ridiculously short fights I guess

tropic ocean
#

or cleave fights

#

or fights where high burst is needed

runic tinsel
#

its insane how annoying it is to farm the mechagon ring. 17 runs last night and saw it drop twice, once for another rogue and once for a really low geared lock that couldnt trade it..

desert pelican
#

4x75 from weekly ;D

wooden osprey
#

@runic tinsel wow you sound like you have my loot luck.. Meaning not very much! 😂

strange python
#

mechagon rings are bitches to get

#

I think I ran 16 runs on both dungs

#

my guildie got both for me though xd

wooden osprey
#

@strange python hey at least you got em! How much of a difference did they make?

runic tinsel
#

yeah, i have to rely on pugs to give it to me, since no guildie have a workshop key this week >.<

strange python
#

Rip

#

my guildie is apparently rng god too

#

got both with socket

wooden osprey
#

What's the min + level mythic you guys run for gear?

runic tinsel
#

damn

#

14

strange python
#

14

runic tinsel
#

14 still drops 465

wooden osprey
#

Okay cool, just checking... I've only been back for less than two weeks since taking a break in December.

strange python
#

I think dps increase when I got the behind dmg one was 4k since it had socket and I could add expedient

wooden osprey
#

This corruption crap... Haha

strange python
#

I took a break when I got 3/12

runic tinsel
#

corruption is fun once you get all the expendients

strange python
#

got back 3 weeks ago I think

#

only back res left to grind xd

wooden osprey
#

I have zero expedients...heck my cloak is only rank 11 and I still have some gear in the 440s

#

I shouldn't even worry about expedients until I'm fully geared out right? Like 475 or close?

strange python
#

no you shouldnt

#

pretty sure I forced it too early too

runic tinsel
#

the only 465 pieces worth using corruption and sockets on are the mechagon rings (backstab and haste)

wooden osprey
#

460 and 445 daggers 😭 lol

dull crypt
#

you shouldnt have to really look into it until youre geared enough to progress deep(er) into mythic

strange python
#

mechagon rings are the only 465 pieces i have 🙂

runic tinsel
#

i have plumage 465 😦

strange python
#

I got it 475 before my break

runic tinsel
#

lucky

strange python
#

Guess it's coming in handy now 😄

wooden osprey
#

Geesh man.. You're doing great gear wise. Even on my bonus rolls I get gold.
I always think "this is my day". Haha not yet..

#

Doing heroic clear tonight, so maybe I'll get something

dull crypt
#

should consider coining carapace then, since it drops a really nice dagger and a very good chest for the exsang build

#

other one ra-den

wooden osprey
#

Thanks.. It will be my first time doing heroic. No rolls left. Guild pulled me into mythic for 3 kills. Used them all.

Hopefully Carapace feels giving!

#

when to use crimson tempest in the opener with deeper strat + exsang build?

#

Guide on ravenholdt is updatet

#

Now

#

You can check it there

#

awesome, thanks!

No worries you are welcome

dull crypt
#

been playing around with target dummy, is the rotation on the second set of big cds like vanish/garrote/rupture/garrote/mutilate/rupture/exsang or should I not go into pandemic rupture that way

west totem
#

Vanish

strange python
#

depends on your bleed timers

dull crypt
#

The way it seems to turn out most of the time is that they're both about to end anyway

#

but maybe I'm subconsciously making that happen

#

But if garrote is already on 30+ sec before vanish go for envenom instead I imagine?

#

Err rupture*

feral flare
#

Is the pandemic timer for garrote/rupture different with deeper strat? As opposed to 3 and 6 seconds?

dull crypt
#

garrote isn't a finisher so not there

#

rupture is a bit more I think

strange python
#

garrote pandemic is 5.4 not 3

#

and I think rupture is 7.2 at 5 CP

sturdy mesa
dull crypt
#

rupture is 28 seconds on 6 CP so 8.4 seconds pandemic window

#

Is the expedient build allways better than IS? simming my character says IS 5 is doing in theory more dps than 7x Exp3 but i hate the rng thingy. What shall i do to get the most out of it?

dull crypt
#

Infinite stars shouldnt be trusted in sim ever

#

It's mega skewed

#

and IS is generally just quite bad for rogues compared to DH/unholy DKs etc

strange python
#

IS is sim bait

uncut tiger
#

alright thanks, ill try it

hardy wind
#

sorry if someone already answered but I couldn't find it in the exsanguinate guide. is there a specific haste % where crimson tempest is better than poison bomb?

shell owl
#

Does anybody have a WA tracker for Exsanquinate damage?

strange python
#

@hardy wind no

bleak spoke
#

How would you even do that

Wa for exsang
