Opener / vanish make the spec a lot harder than outlaw haha
But if you just mash mut env you may have windows of dropped ruptuee.
Nah.
That SS exang is like a script.
idk I have an easy time as outlaw but i played it a ton
Yeah i need to get used to that
But you can almost afk between the vendetta's. And still do good work.
It’s pretty fun so far i’ll keep practicing sin
You stack crit/haste gear and mechagon haste rings ?
Or is crit not necessary?
Find a good mythic log. Snip the opener and put that on your second monitor.
Shad has a st Exang by "Prime" that was really smooth. It's about 12 sec long.
Yeah I figured haste was good, was wondering what other stat to get
Crit and mast usually
haste >crit/mast
Though I have dozens of pieces in my bags I should have everything lol
Good. Cause in keys it is crit stack.
Since we are having class.
Sin in keys is great.
3 garrotes. On 3 separate elites is really strong.
I tried a jy 18
Then it rolls into Fok spam. With high crit.
The bene is having 300k dps cleave without having to commit a single cooldown.
And the sustain is forever.
Just tab out enough rupture to keep energy rolling.
And don't bother garroting outside of the opener or vanish.
It’s a very fun spec though I’ll take advantage of non push weeks to learn it
I less st
Oh really ?
I garroted a lot
Always refreshing in pandemic
Or almost always at least
The SS garrotes tick for like 80k. The base ones are like 6 k
In cleave you can sustain ruptures for bleed after the opener.
In lower mob counts the garrotes are just energy.
Like st. Really important.
But in a 6 pack. I g g g. CT or env. Then might vanish g g g the other 3
Depends on when you need the vanish.
But after that. Garrotes are duds. Let them drop and just maintain the ruptures for e
None of this is in the guide. But it is all in the guide.
So the what to do is all there. Just written for people that know what it means.
Ok that was 30mins. Back to work.
Will take gold as payment. NA -Thrall.
Jk. But not really. I'm a poory
Thanks mate
Don’t think so
They just fucking immuned my garrotes 

Wouldn’t surprise me if they were still bugged somehow
But as far as I know, there’s no immunity on them
Maybe like right as they spawn

Rest in Peace Reckful

what's up manor, I'm getting decent parses on single target bosses but my parses on hectic add cleave are hot garbage. Wowanalyzer has me doing relatively okay, but I'm not sure that there isn't more I could be doing on hivemind or vex. Maybe these are just fights where I should be using Echoing blades?
if you want to parse on aoe you'll have to aoe
or have crazy killtimes
and pump single target
there's hivemind logs floating around with like 2 drone phases I think
well for vex 1 phasing helps
but you dont have to eb at all there
just a little ct pad
did 122k with full st build 3h ago
hivemind if you're quick I think you can get away with it too
oh ct is something I didn't think about
but if you got slow kill times
way better than poison bomb
CT is also better single target if you have enough haste
not sure if this is mythic or heroic or what the gear is
howcome when I sim my rogue it tells me to stack crit vers?
because you're simming stat weights
i guess im just confused
Heroic, 475 ilvl, not too much base haste but about 100 corruption worth of expedient. I'm at 45% haste with just food buff
and those give worthless information
that doesn't help you whatsoever
yah 45% is probably a little too low for CT to win ST
usually around 55% unbuffed you start to see it creep in
somewhere around there
so i shouldnt be simming weights? i was doing it for pawn cause im new and im getting overwhelmed gearing myself
im 439 ilvl
Ilvl is probably your most important stat until 465 or 470 ilvl
so i should just say fuck pawn and stack haste vers? or something
if i wanna do good pvp and pve
oh true
then you can decide whether to stack haste or crit depending on your build
crit for m+ haste for raid
but vers no matter what or
crit and vers for pvp
got my first one of these on heroic xanesh last night and I've been giddy about it ever since
I thought it wasnt updated
its like good 'at a glance' type stuff
oh i see
I know one thing that's awkward about it is that it likes to yell at me when I save my cooldowns to line them up in vendetta
which is weird because I thought we were supposed to use our vendetta windows
yeah
mostly vanish and blood of the enemy
tb on cooldown
yeah
dude wow analyzer is constantly telling to use arcane torrent more lmao
and im just like i cant
waste of a gcd
just get more haste for even lower gcd ... oh wait 
Is there anything I should know before swapping from a 475 shrouded suffocation/heart of darkness/elemental whirl to a 480 piece that replaces heart of darkness w/ clockwork heart? The swap sims about 700 dps higher, potentially just because of the ilvl increase, but idk if clockwork heart will be "hard to use" to its sim potential in practice with how cds line up or some shit idk
nop
heart and clockwork are passives you can't control
there's been some talk about delaying openers for clockwork to proc
but you don't change anything as of now
What food buff is recommended with the exsang haste build? or just pick food based on your stat weights?
Thank you!
np
So I shouldn’t have a ton of mastery rn
Yeah its like the theorycrafter in me is like, you'd want the 1 min clockwork cycle to line up with cds, but when exsang is 45s, vendetta/vanish/plumage are 2min, blood is 1.5min but gets delayed to sync with 2min, its just a nightmare to sync up theoretically
yeah
its not strong enough for that
ruining the current cd lineups is just not worth it
and Matcha afaik haste > mastery >= crit > vers
yeah kinda
haste should be top but mastery has always been a close second for me
it ends up being ahead of crit but it doesn't help I have some pieces w/ crit gems and rings w/ crit enchants because I share them with outlaw
cause its different for literally every single person
that's why we always tell people to top gear sim
My friend payed for my rogue to come back to horde so her gear is kinda vked rn
Its very hard to make statements about stat trends in the current patch.
Please use a simulation to generate results for your personal gear situation.
Yeah its like in practice stat weights dont mean much across different toons but like, theoretical bis bis bis gear will technically have a certain stat priority
but at any given moment yours will change
I'd argue stat weights don't mean much of anything to even one toon
simming stat weights is an actual waste of time
So ilvl haste then mastery
haste
and crit/mast as the second stat
vers won't kill you
but really
this is so generalized and watered down
simulate yourself
and you'll be fine
eh, its like I never just replace a piece blindly because stat weights said so, but I don't think I ever find myself getting a piece that has been an upgrade by my stat weights but wasn't an upgrade when I simmed top gear outside of like, if it was a negligible upgrade by both but one had leech or something
now this is just a question regarding the exsang build, tempest sims about 1-1.1k behind for me, do you think its worth me swapping to it just to practice running it for when I eventually get a couple more expedients and it theoretically becomes better than poison bomb?
I've wanted to run crimson tempest since it became a talent but this is the closest its come to being on par with my top loadout
do you have irontide as a helm?
aha
im gonna be rolling for azerite helm
yeah more haste needed
since i had enough residuum but didnt knwo where to target it
I don't think its earth-shattering
like
you run CT
you just hit the button like you would rupture
maintain and forget
its really not that bad
Yeah like I don't think it'll be hard to pick up, I just like the idea of maintaining all 3 dots
sad
I wish my guild could get to M vex. We're fuckin 5/12 but can't even reclear hive or shad consistently (I also just play outlaw for hive cuz I get to press blade flurry, turn brain off, and race my bm hunter buddy for top dps
we have >200 wipes on fuckin xanesh because we can't piece together 9 competent soccer players and half our interrupters are inept
In other news my gear loadout is now cursed
fuckin quad 6s
Yeah, my rogue has been my side char to gear
I main brewmaster for the guild rn cuz we didnt have any other competent tanks
and when gearing rogue it was mostly for M+ so outlaw was where my gear went
sin I have 4x exp 3, 1x honed mind 1, and 1x mind flay 3
cuz i had to split the echoes i had between strikethrough/severe for outlaw, and expedient for sin
yeah that's a yucky
hell for the longest time i ran void ritual 3 w/ mind flay 2 or something jank
i ran negative corruption on both specs cuz i didnt roll into anything good
and i didnt have the echoes to buy expeident, severe, or strikethrough before they went away in the early rotations
also have yet to get a carapace dagger, have a 465 mast/crit dagger and a 465 haste/crit. Only have like 2 sockets on sin gear too
outlaw's running fuckin 475 wrathion sword which is disgusting, off hand is a 435 folly cuz i have yet to get a mythic one to drop since that was current content and I can't get a clapper off raden for my life
the grind never ends
i've considered putting my rogue up for recruitment just to see if a guild would let me trial and i could snag some raden gear
not that im not necessarily considering trialing anyway
i digress tho, just in a ranty mood
Thanks so much for the help tho
really appreciate it
np
Im back, with another probably dumb question. I finally got BotE rank 3, but it's simming lower than Worldvein Rank 2, does that seem right? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7dui6EYoHiaRSBgrvhiaRQ
What corruptions should I use for M+?
Severe is a safe bet
severe6 and then strikethrough
@ruby ibex you'll probably need to get some more corrupts for it
but im not sure
undergeared sims are kinda janky
Alright thanks 🙂
Blood of the Enemy before or after Vendetta? After, right?
yeah
Okay that makes sense. Thank you
I'm assuming I want to hold Blood for vendetta
yes
I feel like this is just a dumb question, but when level of haste does exsang become good? I feel like my sims are low for TB and Exsang and I am not sure what I am doing wrong .
I don't really have logs either sorry for being so unhelpful
exsang starts to pull ahead for people around the 40ish% mark
buffed or unbuffed
depends heavily on SS azerite and such
unbufffed
some people see it at like 35% if they have poppin azerite and stuff
CT will pull ahead at ~60%
again, grain of salt, depends on person
It plays the exact same you just finish at 5 instead of 4
Maybe its my haste, I always just feel like I have soooo much downtime
well do you have enough haste for it to start simming better
I have 33% haste
at 463 unequipped no raden trink
I was drooling over the rogue I saw in a pug today doing like BIG DICK dmg
She was making every sweat, it was me and her top 2 dps on H skitra, she ended at like 80k and I was like 53k
I was like 😛
well you know that's how skitra goes right
I havent gotten to do much raiding this tier due to work situation
couldnt tell ya haha
Skitra has this weird thing where damage doesn’t update from people on the opposite color
I thought they fixed it tho
Hi guys. just came back to WoW and want to raid again on my Rogue to push higher keys. Focus is clearly getting mythic slappers for outlaw, but bc outlaw sucks in single target fights i feel pressured to go assa in raid.
Since i really hate playing the poison build i loved to hear that the Exsang build is now viable (on high haste levels). Which haste levels are we talking about? I currently have 1,5k haste and 2k crit (optimized gear towards outlaw for m+ pushing so still lagging Haste/crit haste/mastery gear) with only one Exp III and mechagon rings + no vita (myth wrathion trinket doe) and harlans.
how high do i have to go for raiding on haste rating? Thanks in advance!
Exsang usually gets better at around 35-40%
It varies from character to character
If you don’t have SS azerite for example, it’s gonna be tough
I got BIS azerite doe
Hey everyone! I’m looking for a new class to main.. kinda doubting between Dk/dh/rogue .. how is rogue? For solo PvE play? Mytic+ dungeons, and wq? And mayb solo old raids etc.. ?
If you are looking for a solo exp @rose lark you wanna go with Rogue/DH if you dont wanna tank. You can easily get into keys as rogue, DH got a lot of competition tho. But on a rogue your Job in higher keys is not strickly DPS! Just remember. you are the utility bitch, if you dont like this go with DH
It’s not the fastest or whatever, that’s dh
But yeah, utility gods
We’re usually always viable in content
Then you should see it ahead at around 35%
@balmy condor so i can qoute you on that? even without expidiant?
I mean, please don’t
and buffed or unbuffed?
fuck, then i need to wait for expidiant 😄 thanks dude!
Np
You can sim it
And see how many you need until it beats it
Just keep cranking the containers higher till it gives in
Utility bitch as in? Cloak and stun? Or is there more?
Vanish kidney cloak shroud
Outlaw has gouge, we have good mobility, tricks
Sin has silence with iron wire
Immunity soaking
Just keep cranking the containers higher till it gives in
@balmy condor just doing it right now 🙂
Feint is still super strong defensive
Sub can chain stun with cheap shots technically
Blind, sap
Distract
Interested in assa or outlaw.. and prob not higher then +15
Either will work fine
Utility bitch as in? Cloak and stun? Or is there more?
@rose lark as i was starting doing 20+ keys with shit gear i was still viable, bc you can just live through basically everything with faint cloak evasion/outlaw thingy, as outlaw you basically can perma stun one target, got 2 hard cc´s in sap and blind, can vanish out of combat, can go on solo activate pillars to speed up the route, got shroud for skips, can solo events like FH, you can snap pull for the tank (AD e.g)
and you got a very good short cooldown in gauge as outlaw
but if you wanna go just 15 you really dont need it all, but its helpful 🙂 i did 20s w/o any corruptions and did fine due to outlaws control in keys 🙂
M+ is like 75% mechanics 25% damage tbh
If you got clean pulls and solid cc locks
It’s a ton easier
Which is more fun in ur guys opinion, assa or outlaw ? And why?
Outlaw for big AoE, sin for single target and strong multidot fights
Is how I do things
Roll the bones is too janky for me
It fuels my gambling addiction that I totally don’t have
I miss when it was true 6 random dice rolls and you could get 6 buff
Sin is reliant on multiple gear sets to do well
It was a totally unbalanceable spec because of how wildly variable their dps were
That's the problem, EB gimps your ST
But was so fun to gamble
Yeah
based on crimson tempest? 👀
I dob't really understand sin AOE lol
Last question, for now- how do rogues look in sl?
Anyway back to typing my actual question before giving spec opinions
Rogues are fine in SL
Balance hasn’t been done yet
But we didn’t get ridiculous reworks or anything
Seems to be similar to what we have now
I just realized, I’m sitting at 25 corruption rn (4x exp 3, 1x mind flay 2, 1x honed mind 1) so next week, short of a lucky usable chest or vision piece, I won’t be able to trigger heart of darkness. Should I snag an expedient 1 before it rotates out with the midweek reset just to be safe? It’ll keep me in HoD range till expedient 3 comes around. Only other options I have seem to be getting racing pulse 1 or masterful 3 in the second half of the week, or honed mind 2 available right after reset.
I think exped 1 is cheap enough to just grab
Triple DPS classes are one of the safest bets, there's usually at least one that's viable
You have more than enough time to farm up for exped 3
@static acorn you wanna pick up an exp1 and exp2 to account for resist anyways
For offpieces ideally
Yeah
Yeah it’s like, I’m grabbing at least one more severe 3 for outlaw, I can get the 8k echoes to get both before reset but it was like, if id be better off getting a honed mind 2 or something for the long term (I keep seeing that as the recommended stat proc for sin, not racing pulse, meant to ask why that is) then I’d just do that, not need to run as many of my visions now, yada yada
It’s like I both see it in guides as recommendations but also ppl getting high parses with it and no RP
So I’m like
Yeah
Is it a case of it’s just what people who are good enough to top parse happened to run
RP/HM is the last thing
Or is it actually the right choice
Like all outlaw rogues running blood over iris, where iris is better but ppl just like blood
Well that’s technically a debate of effective damage, dmg distribution, blahblah
Don't get r2 of stat proc
The value is rank3, in that it has 15 more corruption on a single piece
And it's only really valid for cloak cap afaik
Doesn't it put you at like, flat 60 though? That's kind of annoying af
Like with cloak cap
I’m actually not sure
All 20s with 2xlash is 55 at cap
I was thinking it’s like 56 or some weird ass number like that
So less 10 off the lashes
just dont apply the resitance yet i would say tbh
you actually dont have to use it immidatly
I mean eriu id wanna use it for outlaw for keys, since my outlaw is 42, it’ll put me at 39 there, throw my severe on and I’m at 59
^
my options are basically expedient 1, honed mind 2, or swap heart of darkness to double dose for the week then swap back when exp 3 is back up
I mean
You can sim that
And see if to you, that’s worth the echoes
I would personally buy an exped1
And call it a day
just buy any stand in corruption like it matters
Exactly
i would go for exp 1 aswell, DD will scuff your dps a bit and the exp will give you somewhat of a boost - if you can live w/o optimal dps (heroic raiding only) just save the echos and swap to DD
Exp1 puts me at 29 when exp3 comes up, drop the honed mind 1 for exp 3, puts me 34, put another thats 54. Or get rid of mind flay and somehow budget 3x exp 3 and that’s 54
Think that maths out fine enough
There’s no right answer
¯_(ツ)_/¯
There’s an answer to “What will give me the most dps”, you can sim that
I’m just tryna think about my theoretical down the road position, avoid putting corruption onto pieces Im gonna be replacing and all
But “what should I buy right now”
And typing it out helps me think it out
going for ifs and whens is really not productive
go for whats good now not in 2 months
But this isn’t really meant to be a personal notepad
But just typing it to myself doesn’t reveal if anything I’m thinking is stupid af
Like the idea of buying masterful 3 instead cuz it’s a 3
So it’s basically just spitballing options to see which ppl think are valid so I can decide from there
All of them are valid
That’s what we’re saying
If you want to know what’s “the most valid”
You simulate
I mean there’s options I COULD take that wouldn’t be valid
You could buy a vers proc and say “ill do pvp while I wait for exped3
And that’s fine
Live your life
If you need the corruption in the next 2 weeks for progression raiding or m+ pushing
Simulate
But like regardless most ppl seemed to agree the valid choice was getting an exp 1. What I do last is less relevant, but the what to do right now consensus was exp 1
Which was basically what I was tryna get
And I’m thankful I did
And I’m glad you found peace
Do you guys think 90% +Haste is too much and will overflow the energy bar?
90% haste unbuffed
Probably a little crazy
But people running around with 80% and it’s fine
You’ll cap in bloodlust
But that’s normal with that much haste
just because youre energy capped doesnt mean its bad
21?
it just do be like that
12 x 7 is 84
6x12 and 2x9
That calc is flawed imho
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5DbnU1BnFY2efZMribTCQA sim's depleted i have no sockets
but yeh it's basically all expedient
Our BiS setup calls for exped23
all the way down
you can't add it together yeah
Sure you can
why do you sim 114k wtf
It’s 3% per 5 corruption
my gear is literally better where are you cheating
but the gear the stuff is on is just good ig
yeah but if you say 7x12 is 21 thats bull
Fine
its 7x12 should be 28 since T1 is 3%
is it some dumb clockwork heart thing or what
Yep
idk why it likes those pants
oh
are you not simming clockwork heart
are you not using*
clockwork heart
cuz that shit actually slams in the opener
sooooo hard
it's insane for stuff like raden if you go fast etc
no this sim just makes no fucking sense
like in any fight you don't get second v it's best by far no matter what innit
yeah
ashufgfisfzhfd
Exsang is better for shorter fights right?
Yeah
It bursts harder
i sadly lack good SS pieces
wouldn't have been for this one
this one would have been better with tb build probably
2:20 proper players
Tell your raid to slow down
yeah I guess if you know its gonna be 2:20 you have to what delay exsang

Vop minor and hold vanish
nah i didn't

i don't think it's worth to even hold the vanish though because like
in bloodlust
idk
though if you vanish on adds you actually get to vanish on second exsang
which doesn't suck alot
but it kinda does
it actually just gimps your boss dammy though
like it fks the ele shaman, locks, etc
we Good Boy TM'd the adds for as long as we could keep them alive
i think when we did that we were going for speed and not for parses per se
it just worked out kinda nice for everyone
we dont even 1 phase vex I look at meter at the end I was like 122k
dont even know how
dude i can't get them to try one phase vex
it's depleted
but we had like 5 people out on both days this week so idk
well we did splits for like 2 months but now we dont anymore because people quit/break whatever so theres just random chars in on most bosses
and on most fights its worse for MUH LOGS
never 1 phase maut, vex, wrathion could die like 20s faster I wouldnt mind
etc
Ahh I wish we did splits
But tbh if you asked me like a month ago
I wouldn’t have said that
but atleast our raden kills are all scuffed 2:40-3min
why have splits when u can bring different alt every boss like me 
which is good for rogue
ngl my mage is some next lvl wheelchair
Apparently it’s “a bad precedent”
Dawg my mage slams


lmao
I remember I played assa on zul
didnt fok
got like a 3% without dying
was giga pog
56k woah woah slow down
That’s way too high
8.1.5 called, it wants it’s sim back

The character is no meme 9 hours old
Has looted like 3 visions, 5 keys a weekly chest
The gear process is actually so fast on alts
Except when you hit the wall where you need sockets
Then you’re just upset
biggest residentSleeper is having to go farm badge in pvp
Yeh
im still using nzoth hc trinket cuz i cba
I got the plumage on my first 2s game
ofc i forget to use it at all 90% of the combusts but kekw
Was so close but so so so far
Dawg just macro it to combust
Who cares
Wait actually
Do you need the verse bit active
What I’m not looking forward to farming font
Don’t want to be in some hc azshara group
yea u need to double tap the macro
to cancel first part of the trinket
Ohhh
Isn’t it okay to get the verse later though
Cuz the ignite modified on your standing verse
no idea everyone told me this is how its done and i just follow xd
Don’t mean to be “that guy” but this isn’t the Fire mage channel btw
stop playing mages you degens
But yeah you’re right

is EB crucial for m+? i have a sin azerite set but i dont have EB options and i dont wanna farm shit, just wanna play sin casually. what are the good all around traits? stick to DD/ttn and 1 ss/np?
you can run full shrouded suffocation and do pretty good
with heart of darkness
really good on smaller packs and you can use vanish to make larger packs good too
lmao damn i can only squeeze 1 ss
gotta pump those numbers up for raid big boy
eb isnt crucial for m+, 3ss is though ;p
lmao

most people would have it the other way around tbh
there’s no reason to not play outlaw in m+ if all your sin gear consists of no SS/EB/HoD
Ye outlaw is the m+ spec
outlaw in M+ is way better than sin
lmao...
obviously if you REALLY wanna play assa in m+ with double dose and ttk
go dor it but
i main outlaw. across the board. i just want to play sin casually.
a few weeks ago i read something about a cancel aura for blood of the enemy for dungeons
I think Seliathan linked it.
Do you also use that macro while in raid? for instance on nzoth with all the psychophages
Hi guys,
I recently simed GCB over plumage, and I have been really surprised about the DPS upgrade.
What’s your thought about GCB trinket ? I actually never played with it (yet). I feel like there is some kind of bosses which can make the zone really painful to stay in
should make a !gcb command tbh
For M+, does dropping TD3 also translate into more damage or just better consistency? What I mean is, if I dont care about consistency, after a million M+ runs, would I really have more damage with for example 16% strikethroughs instead? My statistically irrelevant average damage of TD is somewhere between 10-12%.
16% times average crit% over the dungeon would be my calc approach, even though I dont have that crit% number. I wanted to ask for your experience first.
I always read here that "you cant really sim M+", but sure that would be an approach. Is Dungeon Slice what I Sim or hectic add cleave?
well if you want to see the comparison between td and crit
how important is the 34 crit when building the bleed build?
not at all @errant delta
dungeon slice is very inaccurate
and yes you can't really accurately sim m+
as its not a static thing, it changes with affixes, group comp etc
pulls will be generally bigger if you have firemage in group compared to when you dont
some groups pull trash into boss, others dont and so on
2 many variables
I understand. So just asking for opinions, is the general opinion that its better overall? From a casual 15 Key standpoint.
crit/crit dmg build is usually better
and also involves no rng basically
despite the rng to crit or not to crit, but with as much crit, thats pretty minimum
Thanks
Hello. How do i sim Assa in Nyalotha, only Bosses? Do i use Patchwerk with 1 boss or 4 bosses , or do i use hectic Add Cleave?
just sim ST 5min or 3min depending on ur guilds kill timers
anyone got a giga sim to share? i think my gear is solid but im still "only" at 102k dps
wanna see the differance between me and those 110k+ sims
clf > bote any time
@runic tinsel link your sim and we can point the differences
@tropic ocean missing 6 sockets, casual
is quicksim fine?
ye
you are actually worse than me ausrr
quicksim is fine if you wanna compare to other people
i thought i was bad with 3 missing sockets 
Visions are awful
at least our class is somewhat not cd dependent for visions
should give more mementos from raid clear
doing it on mage is like torture
or let us coin mementos or shit
mage is aids for visions i agree
seems the biggest thing is no cara weapons and gibbering maw. been unlucky with that head and havent killed cara yet
chest as well
and 485 boots
chest is also bad
with no access to mythic cara which daggers would you use ?
the ones that sim highest
@sullen pagoda do you run living bomb for visions?
yeah
breath major?
i usually go the casual 2min build but i tried out 1min yesterday
i just take breath major, you don't need any essence for bosses with combust imo
but it helps with trash a lot
yeah breath major sounds like it would be great
should do that today with rest ofm y keys
damn i actually need to do vision
@umbral rapids your only other dagger choice without getting lucky in weekly is wrathion mythic
is it severe now or
y
we might get the date on tuesday or whenever the dev thing is
@sullen pagoda oh right yeah. actually considering cleansing TA2 on the 470 one once i'll have enough expedients
isnt is usually 3-4 months earlier
you will enjoy rogue a lot more I assume once u got expedients
only rng is to proc or not to proc vita before exsang
😛
i mean i enjoy rogue, just picked up sin yesterday to try to learn it
there is slight RNG on opener if you end up with 5 or 6 CP aswell
i play outlaw
difference is small
i was molded by rng
between
on a 3 min sim i do alot better
ct or instant rupture
most of our killtime is within 3mins or close aswell, only vexiona and drest thats abit longer
Does dd favour longer fights? If so how come, is it just longer fights means more procs or?
Eetswa
but mostly it favors uptime
Cause sims still tell me to run dd but im trying to get that bleed build
well bleed build requires a decent amount of gear to take over
but you also need to apply some logic to when you can discard a dps difference
like if it sims 1k 2k lower on fights like raden, hivemind, ilgynoth etc that difference will be gone
bleed build is honestly the best that could have happened to rogue. so much more fun to play than old TB/PB build
(this late in an expansion atleast)
it was more fun in uldir too 😄
Currently working on my Haste/Expedient set, but for now I’m just having so much fun running lame cheap-o corruptions during mythic raids, lol.
Single Target gear set: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vs7giwNPNhdqgtiWbe8Lyr
Hivemind / Cara gear set: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gtoQdyAVTHXKyqoBtGHXBB
don't run EB on hive/cara
the adds don't live nearly long enough to be worth it
just go full st
My guild is like a cute retirement home of older people, lol. I sort of have to hard carry them through Heroic Ny’alotha. I run my Mythics with another guild. Just started progression with Hivemind this week :^)
still no reason to run aoe build there 😛
The adds don’t die quick with them, lol
yea but they're also not very relevant
even if the small adds on hivemind don't die fast, what are they gonna do? melee you to death?
if the dps can't kill the adds I would also guess that the healers won't be able to heal through the damage
does bleed build still work with lower amount of gear?
sim yourself too check that
but no, you need 3xSS and some expedient too make it work
Alright, cuz I just got 3 SS and my gear has 0 expidient, I was just wondering IF u could make it work anyways, to just have some fun. thanks for answer
ye, just sim and you have the answer
is exang build the go-to for m+ aswell?
No
M+ we want to use severe/strikethrough
Usually that turns into a TB thing
Big crunchy envenoms
But exsang is technically fine
I think it’s a lot of preference, but I do see more TB than exsang
Until you get big haste yeah
At roughly 60ish% haste unbuffed you’ll see CT showing up for single target, and lucid kinda dropping out
Usually replaced by formless minor
new thing? no, it has been like that for a while
Yeah if by new thing you mean 2 months
well, if you considerer that corruption is a "new" thing then yes xD
3x shrouded is Basically required for m+
For raids you can still do DD with a poison build, but as you get more expedients, exsang with SS traits will end up beating it
With exsang and SS you’ll fill the rest with HoD, clockwork, or bbi from the gorak shoulders
is gatecaller a sim trap ?
A little bit
It’s incredibly strong if you can stand in it
But it obviously loses a fair amount if you have to move
It’s definitely usable though
so for m+ its a no go ?
is it better than azerokk for m+ ?
Is drest trinket good for m+?
Azerokk is pretty mediocre imo
You can use plumage though if you want, especially in more boss-focused keys like WS and KR
The drest trinket isn’t great
I think it’s decent in pvp but don’t quote me on it
it's bis for pvp
Pog
Do you run vita + plumage?
For what
m+
Maybe dumb question, but I just hit 120 on my first character, can I follow the pinned guide even tho I'm not gonna raid etc? And I'm only like 250 ilvl too but I need to find a guide about what spells to use and rotations etc
& talents
Yeah
Wowhead/icyveins or the ravenholdt guide up top are all fine
The pinned exsang guide written by raz is more advanced
Alright, cheers :]
@lethal wren triple SS build has low value with low haste, if you want to do decent damage with low ilvl gear(low haste) go triple double dose build(which is the old build for rogues)
btw if i cannot follow this channel you can whisper me on discord
^
Sure thing, what does SS stand for and how do I opt for those changes? Is there a guide or do I just swap out a talent or something
Oh alright
You’ll want to simulate to see if/when it’s a gain to switch over to exsang
Does anyone know where I can get infexious gamings weakauras? Or are they not free?
Damnt...

You can use any of these if you want
Yeah, im just looking for ones for bleeds, with the different colors for empowered/pandemic etc.
i think lokkek one has it iirc
I also think lokkek’s one has a broken link

Just memorize it lol
Is it needed to use 2x dagger as sin? or could I run dagger main, fist offhand?
like the ra'den slapper
ooo true
Which is usually not great
Not IDEAL
There’s some hivemind padding where you run 3x EB and run double lash
And then just don’t mutilate
But that’s pretty cheesy
Lmao that sounds like pretty good cheese ya
It’s not even that good tbh
i think i see rogues play that on the first pull of tol dagor where they pull the whole room
when they play ol the rest of the dungeon
yeah, that happens too
If I want to push some higher keys (pugging ) would I be better off focusing on outlaw? Got 20k echoes (don’t have many good corruptions at the moment) and getting severe?
I think at this point, its definitely an option to play sin
sin does fine, we just really need the re-stealths
Can sin work with haste amps in m+
yes but you'll lose a lot of aoe damage compared to severe/strikethrough
missing out on a lot of EB
usually you'll see 2x severe 3 and then a ton of strikethrough
sometimes 3x severe
any more than that, and its usually overkill
Ah maybe I’ll pick up 2 then and get strike through
i need to buy some severes to hit 34% crit

hey guys I have a question im currently sitting at 41% crit on my char should I pick up 2 severe 3s?
i have severe 2 racing pulse 2 twisted appendage 4
no, its a all I have set
I highly suggest separate sets for raid and m+
thats the endgame
its more a sim question I would say
but you can pick up the corrupts for now and then works the sets
okay thank you\
Is there a crit % breakpoint or anything that I should be aware of? Looking at my stat weights for sims shows that crit is still more valuable than anyting else for me for a dungeon slice.
😮
y u say this when everyone else says no
how should I try and find my stat weights?
you sim everything with top gear
DS is never meant to be perfect, it's just meant to be a tool. And it's a decent tool for looking at how setups will perform across a variety of pull sizes + boss in a composite sense.
There's always room for improvement in any multi-target/timing-based sim but generally most people's objections to DS aren't really about SS performance as much as it doesn't make EB look very good because of the large boss segment and percentage of smaller pulls
those are two of my favorite koji quotes ™️ regarding dungeon slice
cause I used to be a hater too
but its just a tool like anything else
and simming m+ is just not possible right now given the variation in keys
Fair. Thanks for explaining fam
anytime
thank you
any reason why all of my stats are higher then stats from highest mythic + players?
what am doing wrong or it shows differently on armory?
what azerite traits should be aiming for m+?
armory isn't the most accurate thing
after warcraft logs i insert their name there
logs stats are also kinda janky
so which one to use?
just look at the gear and the corrupts
i check best player on logs, wanna copy him , where to compare stats
@vagrant dirge 3x SS 3x EB btw
oh it doesent take in count corruption
attempting to copy top players stats probably isnt your best move... use them as a guideline but simming yourself will always be more effective than going based on others gear and stuff
i dont have any gear with EB on 😮
found 1 :/
Do you guys buy rng Residuum pieces or save the residumm for the 20k ones?
some save some gamble
I gamble
I can stop at any time
I cba to save 20k 8)
Saved for Goruk Tul shoulders and gambled the rest
Im like with lots of haste but not a single SS froma 480 lol, still getting DD's
should my secondary stats be haste so aiming for crit and haste gear?
for what content
m+
crit mast
kk
crit vers if you are running eb
CT damage still pretty good though
and SS damage
but yes
full EB send is crit vers
does going crit do decently in st too? I only recently started playing rogue again and dont have enough echoes to invest in two separate sets of gear
kinda
haste is only st?
I'm still rocking tentacles atm lol
my plan is to get corruption for M+ and then grind again for raid
thats a good idea
finally maxed my cloak, just go full exp3 or should i get anything else
managed to gamble for 2xEB and 3xSS
twist the knife
it's that or dagger in the back
deadly + quick enchants or something else?
always deadly and quick
i can get an EB and SS but means dropping 15ivl on the helm
im so confused man
not sure if thats worth it?
