green forge
#

mutilate give at least 2 CP

rancid bobcat
#

be lucky

#

don't be unlucky

vital haven
#

TRUE

balmy condor
#

yeah if you have to mut 3 times

#

its kinda really unluck

vital haven
#

id rather just take my 5 cp rupture to the bank

#

and exsang

green forge
#

there is no case you will have to mut 3 times

balmy condor
#

?

#

the case is you miss the crits

#

and only get 2

green forge
#

coz you still have 3 CP from 2nd garrote

vital haven
#

nah uim talking about using CT

#

when you get 5 cp

green forge
#

so if your mut dont crit you get 5

#

if it does you get 6

balmy condor
#

you get 5, you CT

#

you're at 0

#

then you have to mut 3 times

vital haven
#

if you get unlucky

balmy condor
#

yeah

green forge
#

oh yeah, wasn't talking about that rota

rancid bobcat
#

even with a 3 mut i think you still get full value of blood crit damage

balmy condor
#

I think it gets pretty hairy

green forge
#

I think that's opener setups has been link by Raz

#

& pretty sure he didn't linked it without try it out

#

and in any case, if you feel like its not worth it

balmy condor
#

well the 2 mut is definitely a minor up

green forge
#

its mentionned that's minor upgrade

balmy condor
#

the question is

#

is 3 muts still an up?

vital haven
#

thats 3 globals

#

idk

#

its very feelycraft

balmy condor
#

yeah

vital haven
#

it just feels wrong

balmy condor
#

you start to get into weird crit probabilities

#

and expected values

#

and that's pretty sp00ky

naive lynx
#

am i supposed to have Energy issues? o.O

balmy condor
#

not with a bajillion expeds

#

whats your gear looking like

naive lynx
#

haha you don't want ot know, I barely hit 120 a few days ago

balmy condor
#

then yes, you'll have energy issues

#

big energy issues

#

undergeared assassin is an incredibly slow spec

rancid bobcat
#

was there any apl testing on that

naive lynx
#

I'd better off just play Outlaw, huh?

balmy condor
#

I'm pretty sure there was some

#

@fleet anchor the vendetta mut 5cp CT opener variation was tested right?

crimson palm
#

obv

balmy condor
#

@naive lynx you can play whatever you want, sin is just slow

#

yeah I mean it was tested

#

but how much did we look into that

wet ruin
#

pretty sure he tested forcing the 5 cp rupture exsang and even 6 cp rupture exsang

#

and from what I remember it was either neutral or a small gain to do the ct

steep plover
#

What makes outlaw so good compared to sin in m+ ? Is aoe dmg? Utility?

rancid bobcat
#

i guess it does account for poopy crits

balmy condor
#

they can stack vers as well

#

sin rogue with 3x SS 3x EB is basically just a scuffed outlaw rogue without gouge

#

and reliant on vanish

steep plover
#

Rip

#

Makes me want to try outlaw but i domt have the gear

crimson palm
#

outlaw can solo cc some mobs, doesnt rely on vanish and can chain pull packs

balmy condor
#

^

#

that's more concise

crimson palm
#

and vanish is needed to avoid some one shot mechanics

balmy condor
#

sin can pump harder in stuff like WS as well

steep plover
#

Wth the raid build?

balmy condor
#

but also no one is pushing on tyran keys

#

so

#

yeah

steep plover
#

I wanna run a key with a good outlaw rogue to see how well they do

#

I guess at lower keys its hard to notice

balmy condor
#

in low keys you'll probably get smashed cause things die so fast

steep plover
#

The aoe dmg is so insane tho with ss eb

#

And i still pump top st

naive lynx
#

The aoe dmg is so insane tho with ss eb
@steep plover what is eb? sorry

steep plover
#

Echoing blade

#

Azerite trait

naive lynx
#

You only stack one of them usually?

#

or?

balmy condor
#

3x

steep plover
#

I do 2-3

balmy condor
#

for heavy aoe

naive lynx
#

oh

balmy condor
#

2-3 is pretty usual

steep plover
#

3ss and 2-3 eb is the go to usually

balmy condor
#

ye

#

and you'll throw in a HoD or a TTK

steep plover
#

Im too scared to use the raid build bro in m+ lmao since im not used to it yet

drifting cosmos
#

Why's that

balmy condor
#

Why's what

wind flume
#

building up my rogue and i need more gear with the proper azerite traits, eb and ss. Am i about to get cucked if i try the random 475 azerite piece come tuesday?

balmy condor
#

you always get cucked

#

but that's how you have to roll it

#

there's no other way to get eb/ss

drifting cosmos
#

Chest and shoulder can gamble

balmy condor
#

you either save and specific buy at the end of the expac

steep plover
#

It teaches u how to deal with cuckage

drifting cosmos
#

Head is a lot harder

balmy condor
#

or you gamble gamble

#

yeah don't gamble head

#

shoulders/chest though are pog

#

gamble those

wind flume
#

got ya

drifting cosmos
#

But yea, by the time you geared up expc probably finished

#

Sin is hard to gear

wind flume
#

20k resid is outrageous, guess ill have enough by the time shadow lands comes around

steep plover
#

Just gamble brah

#

Its worth the cuck

wind flume
#

whats prio, eb vs ss

balmy condor
#

SS

steep plover
#

Ss

balmy condor
#

1100010259% SS

#

you can do without EB

#

SS is mandatory

drifting cosmos
#

I mean I probably suggest gamble 465 head

balmy condor
#

@pale tiger there I said it are you happy

#

:)

drifting cosmos
#

But either way it seems late to start brand new char

wind flume
#

k, right now im rocking 3x ss and 1x eb. looks like im going chest piece on tuesday

drifting cosmos
#

Unless you getting it ready for SL

wind flume
#

i mean im just playing the game, my group of friends are just pushing mythic keys and pvping

naive lynx
#

lol i got this from pvp

steep plover
#

I got 425 ring with td3 aswell

balmy condor
#

425

steep plover
#

I still use it sometimes lmao

balmy condor
#

mega unluck

steep plover
#

When im doing islands or some dodgy shit

#

How do we get over thr fact that we're a b tier outlaw in m+

drifting cloud
#

.. ?

balmy condor
#

you run keys under 25's

#

and live your life happily knowing that you're not playing outlaw

steep plover
#

See

#

Ur always there

#

To make me feel better

balmy condor
#

sin isn't bad

steep plover
#

Ty

balmy condor
#

its just slightly worse

#

you can run your 20's ez pz with sin

steep plover
#

Bet

balmy condor
#

the problem comes when you're trying to like 27's and 28's

steep plover
#

Ye probs wont be running 25+s since we near the end of xpac

balmy condor
#

and you have very little vers compared to outlaw

#

and you're getting fucked by mechanics you can't feint

#

so then you have to replace your strikethroughs with vers

#

and then its yuck

steep plover
#

Would u run elusiveness on high af keys

balmy condor
#

cause then you're actually a worse outlaw rogue

#

you can if you're confident

#

but usually the cheat death is just better

#

cause we're all idiots

wind flume
#

outlaw 🤢

balmy condor
#

and stand in dumb shit

steep plover
#

Ye lets cancel outlaw rogues boys

#

Atleast we shit on them st

#

That makes me feel better

balmy condor
#

its gonna be interesting to see the meta in SL

#

cause right now outlaw doesn't seem to be slowing down

steep plover
#

Ye they havent said shit have they

balmy condor
#

and sin is still awful aoe

#

so

steep plover
#

Ripp

balmy condor
#

sub has some decent changes

#

that might be thing depending on how the tuning pans out

steep plover
#

I miss sub

balmy condor
#

but sin also has just missing talents and shit

#

its way to early for anything concrete

#

but as of now, not looking great

steep plover
#

I feel like they want to make outlaw the m+ spec and then sin the raid

balmy condor
#

that's kinda always what its been tbh

#

even in WoD, combat was the aoe spec

#

they just rebranded, and now outlaw is the aoe spec

#

that's kinda always been their design

steep plover
#

I wish it was easier to gear for both together if thats the case

balmy condor
#

probably not going to happen

#

sin is too haste reliant as a spec

#

and outlaw is very much the opposite

empty ravine
#

remember when it wasnt outlaw, it was combat spec

#

i do

#

good times

balmy condor
#

I do as well

#

hellfire assault with combat

#

felt good

#

having to manage your colors

#

pepperridge farms remembers

empty ravine
#

pvp mace spec was op

steep plover
#

Imagine playing wow that long ago

wind flume
#

<--

empty ravine
#

perpperidge farm members

#

i should workout

steep plover
#

Fax

#

Chest day today hehehe

empty ravine
#

i only got like 10 and 20lb barbells sad

steep plover
#

Better than nothing

#

Are gyms open in ur area

naive lynx
#

Guys, how do I manage with the corruption effects?

empty ravine
#

i think so

balmy condor
#

you move out of the eye

empty ravine
#

see what you do

naive lynx
#

Mostly with the Thing from beyong

#

d

empty ravine
#

is you get over 100 corruption

balmy condor
#

you can blind it

empty ravine
#

and kill shit faster than you die

balmy condor
#

but you can feint it with elusive if you want

#

or just eat it

steep plover
#

Eat it

#

If ur in raid

#

I let my healers know

#

Cause sometimes its hard to move out the way

empty ravine
#

if you pro enough and a delusion spawns kidney it

#

or take ez route and blind it

balmy condor
#

kidneying it is hard

#

eating it is usually fine

empty ravine
#

nah

#

well ya

#

sometimes tho

#

shit fucking hurts

naive lynx
#

What do you mean by saying "feint it with elusive"

balmy condor
#

you can cloak it

naive lynx
#

You are talking about the spell Feint?

balmy condor
#

or you use the lego

empty ravine
#

what do you mean what does he mean

balmy condor
#

yes, if you're taking elusivenss

naive lynx
#

I don't understand this expression

empty ravine
#

read elusive

balmy condor
#

you feint

naive lynx
#

I don't know that word 😄

#

hah

empty ravine
#

its a talent

balmy condor
#

elusiveness is a talent

naive lynx
#

oh my god

balmy condor
#

feint is the ability

empty ravine
#

plebbb

balmy condor
#

elusiveness makes feint reduce non-aoe damage

drifting cosmos
#

You have some homework to do mate

empty ravine
#

wrongo

naive lynx
#

I see now 😄 but everybody recommended Cheat Death

empty ravine
#

it makes all dmg reduce

#

feint reduce aoe dmg

balmy condor
#

elusive adds non-aoe damage reduction

wild compass
#

how much crit do u want for the bleed build ? currently 68% haste 26% crit

balmy condor
#

it doesn't add all reduction

#

you want the crit that sims highest for you

#

we don't have breakpoints for that stuff

wild compass
#

oh ok thanks

empty ravine
#

ppl saying aim for 34%

balmy condor
#

that's a meme

#

don't do that

wild compass
#

How do i sim higher crit%?

balmy condor
#

re-gem, sim gear with more crit

empty ravine
#

but only cause i think thats what you will get with 1 ring having crit main stat

balmy condor
#

as long as you sim potential upgrades you'll be fine

wild compass
#

oke what about mastery ?

balmy condor
#

mastery is also good

empty ravine
#

ya its good

wild compass
#

currently have 52%

empty ravine
#

im confused tho

wild compass
#

when do i stop

balmy condor
#

no breakpoints

empty ravine
#

cause dont you want haste

balmy condor
#

you don't stop

wild compass
#

i see

balmy condor
#

you simulate

wild compass
#

if u guys have free time would it be possible for someone to go over some mythic logs i have?
i need all the help i can get

balmy condor
#

sure

wild compass
balmy condor
#

force multi

wild compass
#

what should i switch to

balmy condor
#

quick nav

wild compass
#

noted,thanks

balmy condor
#

you can sim the difference as well

#

that'll be a couple hundred dps most likely

#

this was your second burst

#

probably should pot a little earlier to let the stacks gain

#

if we're optimal

#

you're also forcing the CT in, which is a little bit down

drifting cosmos
#

I tried plumage in keys, it felt good

balmy condor
#

this is a no no

drifting cosmos
#

A second cd

wild compass
#

could you expand on the nono part please

balmy condor
#

always garrote->6cp rup->exsang

#

regardless of time

#

if you're in the situation where that rupture is gonna drop

#

that rupture should've been a 3cp rupture or whatever

#

into a 6cp for the exsang

#

but ideally that would be avoided

wild compass
#

oke

balmy condor
#

CT uptime is a little low

#

but aside from that nothing too crazy

wild compass
#

how much should i have ?

balmy condor
#

90ish+ is fine imo

#

you'll have some inherent downtime with burst phases

#

cause it'll drop while you're setting up the exsang and all that

#

I also see some mutilates at 4 in that pull

#

I mean

#

at 5

wild compass
balmy condor
#

so just be more mindful on overcapping cp like that

wild compass
#

during burst do i prio big envenom or ct?

balmy condor
#

CT uptime

#

that's why you apply CT on the first finisher after bote in the opener

wild compass
#

wrote everything down,thank you for your time ^^

balmy condor
#

np

#

and get some mecha rings

wild compass
#

no major red flags in the logs atleast

balmy condor
#

this hurts me

wild compass
#

hahahaha

#

why is that ?

balmy condor
#

mecha rings are giga

#

the ring itself is fine

#

but like

#

455 and exped 2 and a gem slot and bleh ew

#

yucky yucky

wild compass
#

didn't buy the slot

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I mean its fine

#

lot of haste, crit as well

#

but its not a mecha ring

wild compass
#

gearing is confusing me a lil bit

#

idk if i troll by wearing anything other than haste mast

balmy condor
#

haste/crit is slightly preferred

#

but don't take that as "I NEED THE CRIT NOW IM DOING THE CRIT CRIT GOOD THE INTERNAT MEN SAY THE CRIT"

wild compass
#

lol

balmy condor
#

some people have like a crit/mast leg

#

and its perfectly fine

wild compass
#

is it ?

balmy condor
#

its a bit of a balancing act

wild compass
#

a 12/12 rogue i asked said its troll to get expedient on anything without haste on

balmy condor
#

he's half right

#

when I say 1 piece of non-haste

#

I'm talking like 110k sims with giga optimized

#

gems in every slot

#

that kind of thing

#

in SOME of those cases, you'll see a non-haste piece end up a couple hundred dps up

#

as a general baseline, he's correct

#

haste on every slot

#

the fully correct answer is a little more nuanced than that is the point

wild compass
#

i see

#

im gonna change up my gear alot on reset

#

gonna try to buy 6 exp 3s

balmy condor
#

6?

#

that seems a little excessive

#

do you have a sim for that

wild compass
#

not gonna use all of them

balmy condor
#

oh i see

wild compass
#

i just hate getting an "upgrade" and not being able to use it for a month

#

appreciate the advice

balmy condor
#

np

stiff flint
#

i was gonna buy 7 and use them all

#

is that too much lmao?

#

not sure how much haste is good to play with

balmy condor
#

he already has 4

stiff flint
#

oh okay

balmy condor
#

that's why I said that

stiff flint
#

i have 0 rn so having 7 isn't too much is it?

balmy condor
#

nah that's fine

stiff flint
#

aight cool

#

how much haste is the go to

balmy condor
#

a ton

stiff flint
#

like 70% right?

#

or 75

balmy condor
#

or 80

#

or 72

stiff flint
#

sheesh

balmy condor
#

or 69

#

whatever sims the highest for you

#

I've seen people hit 81

steep plover
#

Is there any good m+ pieces in raid

#

Crit/vers

#

Is wrath dagger crit/vers

balmy condor
#

wrathion dagger

#

ye

steep plover
#

Sweet imma try go for that

#

I need way more vers

red pagoda
#

there's also the crit vers pants from skitra

runic kiln
#

exped3 stack probably not the ideal for m+, severe/strikethrough the best bets?

balmy condor
#

exped3 stacking is fine

#

its a heated discussion

#

severe/strikethrough would be your second set

#

we change our pieces depending on affix/key a lot

#

so its not very cut and dry

runic kiln
#

shiv/tb and snd baseline in shadowlands feel like the rotation might just be obnoxious

balmy condor
#

we're still missing talents

#

have to see how it'll end up

shut garnet
#

SL casually going into beta with a whole class missing leggos and talents

balmy condor
#

if snd duration is long enough I don't think it matters that much

strange lichen
#

They need to hurry up and work on rogue

balmy condor
#

it was like 45 seconds or something ridiculous in WoD iirc

#

1 finisher every 45 seconds

#

not that tedious imo

vast forum
#

nah, in wod it was passive

#

before wod, envenom would refresh it to full 5cp duration

#

so it wasn't something you had to worry about

runic kiln
#

guess itll depend on shiv

balmy condor
#

oh yeah you right

#

you just had to cast it once

maiden anchor
#

does mind-numbing poison work on mobs in shadowlands?

shut garnet
#

the pvp talents are strictly usable in pvp :p

#

pretty sure anyway

balmy condor
#

I mean, it would probably work in open world with warmode

#

Cause that’s how that works

#

So I would assume mind numbing works in shadowlands too

#

It is only open world though

That's my highest sim yet (still annoyingly low, I know), my gear seems significantly better than before... yet worldvein rank 2 is still the best (with 0 allies), and MA/TB/PB is simming higher than Sub/Exan/CT. I don't have high quantity sims, so I've run several different ones and that's the highest. Is it still just that my gear is poor? I remember 35% haste being the point at which Exan becomes better than TB?

strange python
#

probs takes ages to sim

#

but lets see what it says

ruby ibex
#

Interesteding, 89 and Exan with PB

strange python
#

ct didnt fit

#

just sim it seperately

ruby ibex
#

Oh fusho

#

Well snap, thanks!

#

Yup, CT is higher but within 100

weary badger
#

At low gear (460ish) is it always TB > Exsang even if you have 3 SS?

#

For ST

balmy condor
#

you can sim yourself

#

but exsang quickly takes over

#

ASshrug02 exped vendor tomorrow

#

so its pretty free

steep plover
#

FUCK

#

Do i chuck expedients on 465 gear

#

😔😔

strange python
#

if you plan to not replace that for a month

steep plover
#

Still havent got good 475 haste gear

#

The only way i replace is through weekly chest rng

balmy condor
#

465 gear is fine

#

imo

#

475's from raid first though

#

but if you have 465 mecha rings

#

that's usually pog

steep plover
#

I have 1 460 and 1 465 for mecha rings

#

Im gna check what haste gear i can get from M nya and any 465 gear that wont be replaced ill probs chuck on expedient

strange python
#

Guys im so excited for exp3

#

I have soooo much gear ive been sitting on

#

MY BODY IS READY

wary seal
#

guys, random question, i m not wrong, TD and twisted apendage are haste procs?

balmy condor
#

no

#

IS is hasted

strange python
#

td is hasted afaik

#

ta is not

balmy condor
#

is it?

#

yeah TA def not

#

I didn't think TD was

main warren
#

TD is ye

balmy condor
#

hype

main warren
#

according to every DH I know, anyway

#

They run it for ST when stars isn't good

karmic zenith
#

How do you survive the last boss in TD? The boss sometimes casts that explosive burst twice in a row. Feint one but the second one 1shots :(

#

Its on a 22key, I assume tyrannical week will be even worse

rancid bobcat
#

shouldnt be a 1 shot from full unless you have really low max hp

balmy condor
#

can cloak it btw

#

I guess that's implied by "fire damage"

#

but thought I should mention

#

not really much else to cloak on that fight now that I think about it

karmic zenith
#

From full with feint it gets me to50- 40%ish

#

But he casts it almost immediately again sometimes

balmy condor
#

yeah that's the rng of that boss

#

he picks abilites in any order

#

so if it happens

#

you just gotta feint and top yourself up

#

health pots, vial

#

cloak if you can

#

probably will pop cheat death

karmic zenith
#

Yeah, been doing that, I honestly think its also a hps check too from the healer

balmy condor
#

I try and save a healthstone for it too

#

sometimes you just get screwed over

karmic zenith
#

I see

#

Thanks for the tips!

balmy condor
#

np

#

also don't push on tyran

#

that's aids

karmic zenith
#

Yeah, not gonna

#

Week after that is fort, quake, sanguine. That will be the week

balmy condor
#

yep

steep plover
#

U might be overlapping it with other players?

balmy condor
#

nah if he was overlapping he'd be dead

#

shit hurts in a 22

umbral rapids
#

u hurt

balmy condor
#

:(

#

bb no

umbral rapids
#

:(

#

Expedients finally tomorrow PogU

#

Need to kill wrathion to try to get the dagger

fallow otter
#

Do you guys look at iris minor for raid as sim bait?

balmy condor
#

no

#

iris minor is really strong

balmy condor
#

still running lucid minor with all those sockets

#

you should probably not do that

#

play iris minor my dude

fallow otter
#

Im just simming after new expedients

#

Been lazy coz killed nzoth ages ago

#

Raid dps doesn't give me a semi once the content is on farm with buyers

balmy condor
fallow otter
#

Just been buying strike through severe for key pushing tbh

#

How is your sim looking? I should be simming 3min actually

balmy condor
#

Yeah I mean the coral replaced with a galecaller

#

But you’re pretty optimized

#

Not much left tbh

fallow otter
#

Yeah I've got a 475 gcb I'm scared to sim

#

You running bote major and gcb anything else?

balmy condor
#

CLF gcb

#

That’s about it

fallow otter
#

Simming 3mins I'm guessing bote gonna come out in front

balmy condor
#

CLF still beats on 3 min for me

fallow otter
#

Interesting

#

I hope it does for me tbh

#

Im not excited about using gcb

balmy condor
#

It’s honestly not that bad

fallow otter
#

Yeah I mean if we can get used to font we can get used to gcb

#

Lol

steel ridge
#

With this reset, we can run 59 corruption (170 before resist) which is 6 Exp3, 1 Exp2 and HM3. Right?

#

Or go less risk at 39 with one less Exp

balmy condor
#

I’m running 8x exped 3 1x exped 1

arctic walrus
#

you dont run HM for another like month

steel ridge

Prepatch it goes away ye

#

Prepatch corruption goes poof, though azerite + essences will remain

#

Just won't be useable in shadowlands (as in the area and without a doubt pvp too)

#

You'll still be able to use them back in Azeroth which is a bit of a weird design choice but I guess by that point at max level with the new legendaries/sets you'll be better off dumping the heart anyway.

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

They’ll probably level cap it

#

Like usual

#

Same thing they did with the legion legendaries right? Could only use them up until 115.

And then they became redundant.

what is bis corurption for assa ? exp3?

ye

#

and m+

fallow otter
#

Different for each

If you want bis

But lots of expedient and one hm is BiS for raid and that will also do just fine in m+

But it's not bis

But exp is just better

#

ilvl does not matter for it

junior atlas
#

my rogue is just my alt so dont really ahve the gear /echos to farm multiple sets

#

i would just like it to be competeable in mythic raids / do some arena on it

steel ridge
#

Well then you are fucked

junior atlas
#

i guess i can buy some exp3 tomorrow and then see what happens 😛

steel ridge
#

Our azerite game is random af, our gearing is not alt friendly

junior atlas
#

ye i suppose, but w/e rogue is still fun to play

steel ridge
#

Just go with exp, shrouded suffocation and make it work in all 3 contents

junior atlas
#

my main is kinda bis in everything, so need something to do 😄

#

aight will try

crimson palm
#

you're better off with full gw build if you wanna pvp

#

raid build doesnt work in pvp content

steel ridge
#

Or go triple TTK and pump big finishers

crimson palm
#

there's a guy who's rocking 3x TTK with a full crit build

#

that could work as well

steel ridge
#

My thoughts exactly. Direct damage is not a bad thing in m+

crimson palm
#

nah lol

steel ridge
#

and big burst in arena

#

But i am no pvp guy

wet ruin
#

that triple TTK build sucks and requires just as much gearing as expedients or GW or any other build

kind edge
#

You guys use CT only to refresh the bleeds? Talking about m+

woven summit
#

I play with poison bomb 😄 But planning to try CT

#

So not sure

plain thistle
#

for single target yes

naive lynx
#

can a sin rogue reach the same AOE numbers as Outlaw? 😄

plain thistle
#

you can probably do more, it will depend on the target number and pack duration

thin cargo
#

That's an easy sim

kind edge
#

You spam more CT than just to refresh bleeds in bigger packs?

plain thistle
#

yeah, for large AoE you can spam CT, but I dont remember how many targets is required for spam to be better

#

cant remember if its 6+ or 8+ or 10+ 😂

kind edge
#

haha, so guess this means huge packs indeed

#

otherwise just to put bleeds on

#

and proceed with envenom for cleave

plain thistle
#

and if using 3x EB its probably better to spam FoK and not CT

kind edge
#

You spam FoK either way, but I was asking for dumping combo points

plain thistle
#

especially during blood buff window

thin cargo
#

CT then ruptures

plain thistle
#

no, what I mean by spamming FoK is to ignore combo point and just spam FoK

#

😂

kind edge
#

Really? In bigger packs you just spam FoK, you don't dump combo points?

#

Even with 2x EB?

#

I mean 3x

#

nvm

#

I got 3x haha

#

forgot

#

So if it

plain thistle
#

but I dont know if its the universel rule, some people like to finish just to maintain elaborate planning buff

#

and to maintain CT dot, after that just spam FoK

kind edge
#

Yeah Elaborate Planning is useful to maintain

#

So with CT you use envenom only when you cleave and on ST

#

Aight, I'll try CT

plain thistle
#

ofc talking about large AoE packs, things change for prority target and cleave, etc

kind edge
#

Thanks mate

#

Do you have a rough estimation on how much dps you lose with using poison bomb instead of CT?

#

I know this is hard to estimate because it varies on how much the mobs are being moved etc

#

But still... 😄

fallow otter
#

sim it

#

its accurate

kind edge
#

You can sim m+ environments?

fallow otter
#

dungeon slice

kind edge
#

Alright, I'll try right away

fallow otter
#

pretty good

kind edge
#

Dungeon Slice BETA?

vast forum
#

you can't really sim m+ accurately

#

but dungeon slice is the closest you'll get

kind edge
#

Yeah I presumed you can't because m+ environments are pretty hectic and somewhat unpredictable at times. Also mechanically varies a lot from dungeon to dungeon but still, guess it's good to see raw damage.

#

So just set Dungeon Slice Beta and I'm good to go?

fallow otter
#

dungeon slice is a great start

#

then from there you can go poison bomb in KR etc

#

but nothing crazy

#

can just go with the sim

kind edge
#

wtf, it says I lose 1.5k dps with CT

#

But yeah, that's expected, because in a real m+ environment the tank moves the mobs a lot so Poison Bomb is not as effective

#

This probably just sims dummies

crimson palm
#

Depends on your gear

plain thistle
#

high keys you should use CT pretty much in every dungeon

#

PB just doesnt do enough damage, even if tanks dont move the pack

kind edge
#

I just do 15s

#

But yeah, that's mid-range

#

lower mid-range 😄

strange python
#

oh nice, my dungeon slice seems pretty accurate

wet ruin
#

@kind edge can you link that sim

atomic pond
#

would you recommend going with 3 pieces of Infinite Star (level 2) or 2 pieces of Infinite Star (level 2) and 1 piece of Twilight Devastation (level 2) ?

strange python
#

For what?

#

Generally the answer to both of those questions is no

vast forum
#

use CT in every single dungeon

#

if you do small trash dungeons, run single target build and CT will be better than PB anyway

#

if you do big trash dungeons, CT is just better for aoe, regardless of which build you run

wet ruin
#

I have a feeling TTK is involved in the simming

woven summit
#

In what dungeons do you guys run ST builds? Workshop?

main warren
#

any where the bosses are a bitch tbh

#

personally, anyway

All of them :)

There was a lengthy discussion ydah

It's strictly better in a few and debatable in others

Strictly better in kr ws jy

woven summit
#

I see Seliathan has a very interesting build that might work for both aoe and ST situations, with 3x SS and a combination of Hearth and Blightborne Infusion

#

Sounds like this could be a very good universal build for m+

plain thistle
#

yeah, the normal raid build with minor changes, but seli isnt playing the game that much anymore

#

isnt "his" build

woven summit
#

Oh he's not? He's waiting for Shadowlands I presume

plain thistle
#

yeah, he stopped like 2-3 months ago? cant remember

woven summit
#

Anyway, you think this is a good build for all dungeons and affixes of m+?

#

Got kind of confused now about when to run ST build in m+

plain thistle
#

I do, and i use that for pushing medium-high keys (24-25), but other people think severe/strike is better for keys

woven summit
#

You use the same azerite traits?

plain thistle
#

but its competitive and can be better for some dungeons, where ST/cleave is more important

#

yeah, 3ss + 2 Hod + 1 blightborne

woven summit
#

Nice, this really looks like it's more universal. I run 3x EB but sometimes it sucks

#

Depending on situation

#

I feel like Seliathan's traits here are more consistent

plain thistle
#

yeah, for dungeons like KR or WS it feels better for me, because bosses are harder and trash packs are smaller and more dangerous (and for obelisks the damage is really good)

#

and for junk is good too, because shock bot scales with haste

#

but I dont think assa can use a universal build, in my opinion the correct play is to adapt a little bit for every dungeon

woven summit
#

Does severe/strike means you run 3X EB?

wary ice
#

3x eb gives better overalls in my experience

#

The only dungeons eb under perfoms in are KR and WS; and arguably siege

#

But the 3ss + stats build works for sure in any of them

woven summit
#

Can you use SS and DD/NP in KR, WSG, Siege?

wary ice
#

I mean you can do anything

woven summit
#

Guess that's a no 😄

wary ice
#

I wouldnt use DD or >1 NP in keys ever, assuming limitless azerite choices

woven summit
#

Yeah, see your point

#

You'd rather use Heart and Blight Infestation

wary ice
#

the haste build works cause the aoe u lose from not having 3eb is made up for in asome way with Deeper Strat + tempest

#

and thne also your stupid fucking openers on bosses

#

DD and >1 NP dont really do much in either of those situations. in aoe you still fok for CP, and in ST your damage is exsang'd Garrotes still

#

at least thats how i think of it

#

I'm a 2.9k shitter so grains of salt

#

I also vastly prefer the crit build

woven summit
#

Yeah true, I'll focus on the crit build as well, just waiting for 24 July to buy corruption

#

Outlaw is so much easier to optimize but I can't stand that spec

wary ice
#

true on all counts tbh

strange python
#

I've just been using my normal raid build for keys and it seems to be fine tbh. but I'm also only doing like 18s so ignore me

woven summit
#

What's your normal raid build?

strange python
#

Throw as much haste on as possible

#

But my gear sucks, hardly any of it even has haste

steel ridge
#

well, you got gorak tuls, which is nice

strange python
#

First pull from the shoulder lottery

#

Got lucky on that one

#

Dungeon slice is pretty accurate for me too it seems, and I usually don't have any issues with 18s but i haven't tried anything higher

north pond
#

So quick question what are my Traits I’m gonna be using for mythic plus? I’m haste/exg build

woven summit
#

I don't understand this, you sim more than me on dungeon slice and I have 3x EB

#

My corruptions suck though

wary ice
#

The dungeon slice pulls are a lot smaller than what makes eb good

#

IIRc it does likea 1 target 3 minute boss fight -> 3 pull ->5 pull

#

something close to that

#

with restealths, high haste and garrote will be big on that type of sim

woven summit
#

Yeah actually, that plays a major factor

wary ice
#

So quick question what are my Traits I’m gonna be using for mythic plus? I’m haste/exg build
@north pond the standard is 3x Shrouded suffocation 3x echoing blade

Okay thank you @wary ice also what essences? Thanks again

I run Bote Major, CnS, Lucid, botd

woven summit
#

yeah same, except I don't use CnS because I don't play arena

wary ice
#

U can drop CnS for VoP minor if u dont want to do pvp

#

but BotE is pretty irreplaceable, you can use iris instead though if ur really against it

woven summit
#

VoP is better than Iris minor?

tropic ocean
#

@gray hazel always on boss unless assigned psychus

#

@woven summit no

wary ice
#

TBH i forget ur allowed to take iris minor 🤷‍♂️

woven summit
#

Yeah, people always recommend Iris minor here if you don't have CnS

wary ice
#

Makes sense

north pond
#

So I don’t need CLF?

wary ice
#

not for keys

tropic ocean
#

Iris minor is better than cns with haste build

gray hazel
#

@tropic ocean Alright, for the invoke stuff, im having a hard time finding any good uptime to have on the boss

#

is there usually a sweet spot there thats ideal?

#

aside from the burn phase at the end

tropic ocean
#

When u soak first

#

Adds u immune anguish

#

Get full uptime on boss

#

Then again after chamber

#

Usually

gray hazel
#

Alright, ill practice that this raid week. Thanks a lot!

crimson palm
#

U can delay it till before secret phase if ur not comfortable

#

Ppl pump early because u can 3x garrote harvesters

gray hazel
#

RIght now, i was using it during the burn phases, then kinda willy nilly after that

crimson palm
#

2 30 5 30 8 00 10 30 would be ur timings

fallow otter

is formless minor proc rate in sims pretty bang on or under/over valued?

tropic ocean
#

Pretty accurate 80-90%

fathom swift
#

Depends what you set it at

#

You can change the uptime %

fallow otter
#

default atm

gray hazel
#

Does the timings matter if you lust on nzoth burn 2, or after secret phase?

fathom swift
#

So is default accurate for your raid?

crimson palm
#

Does the timings matter if you lust on nzoth burn 2, or after secret phase?
@gray hazel no

#

At least not for rogues

tropic ocean
#

You should lust later so you can have lust during mc

fallow otter
#

So is default accurate for your raid?
@fathom swift never looked, not sure if anyone runs yet, ill check - have you checked yours? if so, wheres it at

Just look at any log and check buff uptime %

dawn root

given that 5 mask visions are easy, from a purely max dps standpoint and since you get a lot of haste from titan buff etc., would you say stacking crit is likely the best play or are you all running just super max haste expedient stacking still?

runic kiln
#

no need to optimize for a 5mask run, but if you really wanted to, you could gear swap for boss vs trash with an equip set

Are these any good for assassin?

what stats do i want for the expedient build

haste mastery right?

any sweet spot percentages?

aka how much crit and mastery should i aim for

#

I know the guides in the pins, but its a month and a half old and I want to know if theres any tweaks to know about. Still 7x EX 3, 1x EX 2 and 1 honed mind 3 the best?

balmy condor
#

Haste/whatever

#

No breakpoints

And that is the setup we’re looking at going forward

crisp sluice
#

so you claim it doesnt matter if i go crit haster or crit mastery?

balmy condor
#

Correct

crisp sluice
#

how come we want a honed mind 3 then

balmy condor
#

You’ll want a mixture

#

Honed mind 3 or racing pulse 3

sinful iris
#

One thing I'm not seeing about that build, should I run my next highest weighed secondary as my other enchant? Or force multiplier? Or just sim it?

balmy condor

Depending on your character

depending on what about my character

i have a lot of crit haste gear

balmy condor
#

Are these ‘people’

crisp sluice
#

ce rogues

Yeah It doesn’t really matter too much tbh
