just sim it... the answer will be exp, but just sim it
Ye
Do I use CT in single target at a certain haste level? If so, do I maintain it like rupture and garrote or do I just put it on for exsanguinate?
Yes, roughly 60% haste, maintain
Don’t force it into exsang
You should sim yourself to see when it becomes good for your character
okay ty ty
for pvp is all gushing best or just go for expediant(hast) if i raid 1 time a week
GW will be better for pvp, but worse for raids
haste will be better for raids, but worse for pvp
pick your poison
aw shit
or grind 70k echoes and get both
pfff
and say goodbye to them in 3 months
^
I got 7 gushing... should have got 9... still have 3 expedients I can't use yet
gushing does 25% of my damage in pvp min.
well only really wanan pvp for the rank 3 blood for youe neck, so will probably stick with hast
waaait, dice is simming almost 1k more than vita on patchwerk for me, wtf
hmm
Returning form a pretty long break, Is Blood of the enemy still a pretty solid major essence or will I need to be swapping to something like Worldvein/BOD?
blood is still basically BiS
CLF is marginally better in raids
in general, if you never swap away from blood in pve content, you're not doing anything wrong
Alright so it’s still a swap between CLF and BOE thank you a lot
np
If I decied to go Gushing wounds is it worth stacking more mastery for the bleed increase? or do I need to just still stick to what sims highest?
Kk well Exped seems like it would be for a bleed build so didn’t know if that made mastery a little bit better or if the secondary stacks were still extremely close together
which build is better to go if you have trash corruptions is it better to go Shrouded+Subterfuge+Exsang or Nightstalker+TB+a mix of good Azerites eg Hod DD NP?
i meant Master assassin sorry
shrouded/exsang is objectively better for raids than a crit TB build
because like i have 0 exped corruptions since this is a new toon but have decent heroic gear and i might be joining the mythic raid with the alt so not really sure which build is better to go
What exactly is the gear for exsang multiple expeds?
yeah then nightstalker tb would be better in that case
master assassin****
Lol nightstalker
sorry for the brain dead
remove that from your vocabulary lmao
LOOOOL
you'll play subt with a TB build as well eventually
once you get more expeds and gear
yeah havent touched my rogue ever since essences came out so this is going to be a yike
You might luck into 3 ss traits then. Those were good at launch
yeah but if he doesn't have the haste it won't beat it
Truth
and whats the best essence setup
sorry for all these questions just want to be prepared
for your gear
probably will be some janky WV maj iris/lucid/breath thing
WV is great for undergeared
Lucid major lol
but you'll want Bote or CLF
i am 470 ILevel btw
yeah i guess ill just sim that part
lucid major is trash though don't do that
Another equation wanted to ask was do I still rock my mythic font/coral or is there better trinkets?
vita/plumage
you could do galecallers instead of plumage, the pvp on use vers medallion, which is identical to plumage
harlans is good too
Kk yeah I got some gearing to do
Stuck at 447 ilvl, Very good when I was playin but dog shit now 😂
how much damage does thing from beyond do at 45 corruption? is it relatively safe to use and what defensive options do we have?
you can eat it to the face at 45
you can run elusiveness and feint
could blind it
elusiveness is big
you can use your legendary
you can cloak it
elusiveness is big if you're not on prog
if you're on prog, probably not a great idea to run elusiveness
does legendary cloak negate it completely?
it removes it
"dispell any effects of n'zoths corruption and become immune to any further corruption effects for 6 seconds"
so it'll get rid of tfb, eyeballs, everything
nice i guess ill try it tonight 😛
but honestly 45 corruption is weak sauce
you could run 45 and just stand still
and probably be fine
39 for n'zoth progress?
I like to be below 40 just cause i don't like the purple shit around my character
whispyr
would u go over 40 on n'zoth prog?
but if you go above 40
cause healers are hard-stuck
really you can go 59 cause i don't think thing damage actually increases
considering constant damage
it just runs faster
If you need more that 39 corruption on progression... then the problem isn't likely you on why the boss isn't going down
ye
i just looked at the tooltip
and all it says for me is that speed increases with further corruption
but getting hit by a thing from beyond at a 5% and killing you... yeah that no bueno
im assuming cheat death will save me as well
it will
yeah eyeball damage and radius increases
the eyeball becomes a bigger issue imo with higher corruption
nah just farming heroics
then run like 70
fuck that
ausrr was parsing with like 98 corruption or something on mythic maut
sad you can't go above 200 anymore 😦
I run 80 on our heroics
is that 200 base corruption or 200 including resist
including
idk how people were running 200+
doesn't matter if you one shot them first XD
as a prot pally he's got bubble and his legendary cloak
he can basically be immune, have the IS proc
and its GG
so then the fun police added an effect at 200 corruption
;-;
Wait did they?
yeah
what effect?
you take like 25% of your hp every second
i mean to be fair, running over 200 corruption is still deadly even without the new effect
I ran 102 in some of our heroic kills
Is there a reason why it would tell me to socket agil over haste?
7 exp 3 and 1 exp 1
you might also have "always choose agi" checked
yeah
Like +5
kk thx
its telling me to run subterfuge with 0 ss traits
correct
when even though i tagged them on the pieces them selves?
subt scales harder
I think they made it from 60-80%
but that was like
maybe october?
its been a long ass time
but the reason subt is good isn't because of that buff
subt just scales harder with gear than ma
ma is just 50% crit
when sims start to say that mastery outpaces haste, should i ignore it and keep stacking exped/haste assuming itll come back into haste favor as i add more expeds?
im at about 60%
are you simming stat weights for that info?
yes
don't do that
i know not to, i was just curious
i know itll want me to add more mastery because its lows, but each point of haste is really 2 points of haste because of expeds
basically you're in a point in your gear where it thinks an increase in mastery is going to give you more damage
just out of curiosity if theres a point where you start re-stacking nonhaste stats
has vers above crit for me which ive never seen before
yeah
granted i only have 150 vers...
and you see why XD
anyway
you'll see some people re-gem out of haste
but that's pretty deep into optimizing
just keep stacking exped and haste gems and it'll be fine
I thought coral was gonna be my best trinket but it sims lower than dice and galecallers, hmm
Coral doesnt give haste 😙
it still sims very close tho
coral isn't the best trinket in general
its top 5
but its definitely not just a win
@steel ridge plumage doesn't give haste either
But flat damage is gud
for me coral sims higher than plumage
what ilvl/socket
450 non socket vs 465 non socket
coral still strong ye
but I guess I wont be using it anyways
fk coral
Noice
you can be at a point where adding a gem of mas is better than haste
and expedient is still your best corr
^
theyre not mutually exclusive
stat weights also only add stats
they don account for you swapping a gem/enchant
its always just adding more
weak out here spitting faks
I mean it is a fair question why weights might show diff from corr %
And it might seem odd
Just that haste amps like more haste amps
yeah
The guide in the pins seems to indicate that rupture at 6cp, is that strictly during openers, or always? I was under the impression with deeper strat finishers were used at 5+ cp
Ok, so if I get super unlucky and after 2x Mutilates I am at 5cp, I am muting again?
yep
there's times where you'll vend-mut
and land 5
then cast the CT
and then have to cast 3 muts
but the rest of the time, a 5cp rupture is ok? along with CT and Envenom
during standard rotation, would I prioritize maintaining rupture over CT?
yes
without any buffs, you're prioritizing rupture, then CT, then envenom for combo points
and you're prioritizing garrote uptime over CT uptime
Hey guys, can someone with raid bot premiun help me with my top gear? there's so much interaction i can't sim properly
sure
Sweet. Thanks again, as always! lol
np
I have 7 exp 3 in my bag ready to go. This is the highest i've gotten so far but I'm use to being proved wrong when it comes to sims. lmao, If any one sees some thing LMK please before I botch these corruptions lol https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7axbWATDpgTSFuemeKt1zh
I already see a big flaw
Is that for full cloak later on?
your discord name is crimp with a c, but your character name is krimp with a k
actually triggered
hahaha, it was my classic rogue name but some one took it
rock climbing problems lol
im not sure why it puts me at that 155 corruption... i have enough enough to be max cloak atm also
in an 100k sim, how much of a difference is division vs recursion? can someone give me a rough estimate?
total on all that gear is 175. my current cloak is 80 + 10 from essence
@warm olive use gear compare
so it should read 85, not sure why it has 155
can i sim items i dont have there? i will give it a try thanks
that's what its for, yes
#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast [mod:shift] Crimson Tempest; Envenom
This macro does the start attack, and the envenom - shift modifier still only casts envenom though, is it formatted incorrectly?
Anyone remember at the end of warlords when they first added exsanguinate that it was a 400% bleed rate? That was a lot of fun for 2 months!
@ruby ibex why aren't you just binding CT to Shift+button?
Also thanks a lot for all the help from this discord and @balmy condor . Coming to this expac so late put me behind. Hope to return the favor to people come SL.
that seems like a huge hassle for something you could just have another action bar for
Because then I woould have to change my UI to show another button, and I really don't wanna do that
also startattack lines have been useless for a good few years
its built in all off moves at this point
yall know the best way to get from item level 410 - 440? I dont have a guild yet but my item level is only 409 and i'd feel bad if i joined that low. also id have a harder time finding a guild in general at that level i think.
if he's at 410 he'll have to do some M0s likely
you see that's great but i started playing 2 months ago and found out what essences were a week ago so enlighten me please
pvp conquest cap gives you a 440
enlighten you regarding what
M+ dungeons
so there's a m+ system
Full word didn't seem to fix it @warm parcel
and M 0 is just a regular mythic dungeon
I'll get you a wowhead link hold on
ok so mythic and mythic+ dungeons
and even heroic dungeons, the one you can use the automated group finder for
drop 430s
m+ is a scalable dungeon system that basically gives increases rewards for harder dungeons, you'll need to join a group for both m0 and any m+
but yeah, heroic drops 430, so you should start there
well ive done A mythic dungeon before like, once and it wasnt too bad but it took forever to find one
its a lot easier when you've got a guild or friends
even mod works just fine
@ruby ibex youve your shift + whatever the bind is bound already
also, if you haven't killed him already
well i dont got a guild and i have no friends
so it defaults to that instead of this macro
I Def don't, I made sure it was unbound
there is a world boss in Uldum right now that can drop 445 pants or a 445 ring
name?
I can't think of his name but if you look at the uldum map
its the big purple world quest when you get there
oh
you'll see a purple circle that's where he'll be
(thats me tapping shift)
im from valorant and dark souls
It's Shift+E, idk if that's a thing, but it's definitely not bound to anything in WoW
a lot of mod binds are
So it's on the bar, bound to E; shift mod would make it shift e
ok so dungeons and world bosses
it didnt work for me when I had shift 3 bound
i can do that
but unbinding it makes macro work on "3"
41 million... thats a lot of health
you need a group for world bosses
so it defaults to the bind if there is one
what's the secret to getting the stealth after entering obelisk btw? never really had problems with it, but just had a run where it didnt work on any obelisk for some reason
spam stealth button
dont be first one in
that too
and haste makes the entry quicker
so if you have more haste than your tank you can end up first in
even if you start later
ye what weak said is what i was thinking. but i made sure to click after tank
ah that makes sense
was a workshop with raid build
yup
dont be in stealth when you channel
I tried it on bars bound to 1, 5, E, and H, none of which should be bound to anything already with a shift
haste build makes you enter so quick
ye i know that @novel drum
then it could be any of your addons regarding UI
K, I logged out and back in and that fixed it. Idk wtf that means, but I guess
changed nothing, works on shift e

Imma go die now
what have you done
i have ascended past and gone even further beyond
living the life of ripping threat off the tank in the first 2 seconds of every pull
true
gotta proc right after tricks wears off then
What is a good haste percent?
higher
18
higher than you have
lmaooo
to be fair. I have a macro that targets the tanks with my tricks whenever I press it as long as they're my focus target
I've ingrained it into my muscles to press it before every pull
oh
well
you should TRIPLE that haste then
my bad
people running around with 80% atm XD
WHAT
yuh
How much corruption are most of you running?
Good lord.
crisp 59 this week yeah
how do you deal with the things from beyond? just eat them?
What about Crit and Mastery?
blind, cloak, legendary cloak, feint with elusive, eat them
When playing exsang/haste build, what secondary stat is generally best after haste?
crit is between 30-35% and mastery is like 45-55ish
theyre all 3 very near eachother and really differ form person to person @peak jungle
Thanks
vers is the worst
I run 49 or lower
you should be going for mastery/crit
Got it
vers is typically the worst but sometimes even then youll gem vers
that doesn't mean you should be looking for vers, nor that vers is "near" to the other stats though
they are not mutually exclusive
objectively if you look at sims, you'll see that having more than 1-2 pieces of vers is going to lower dps
that however doesn't mean that vers gemming is bad

Vers is just for PvP yeah?
noo
79 is fine on all bosses apart from nzoth
vers is more desirable in dungeons rather than raids
vers works and is good
crit/mast is just a bigger gain in a raid setting
not to continue the discussion of vers, but c&s is now simming good for me T.T
is there a point where u should start to consider switch from blade to exsang build? i dont have 3x suff/ 3x heart, and only 50% haste atm
exsang is usually better starting around 30% haste
but obviously with bad azerite
you'll need more
I would assume if you have at least decent SS, it should sim higher
i can get 3xSS, just only 1 with HOD, rest would be either generic or DD or NP
guess ill just dink around with sims and see if its worth loking into
yeah
DD is fine even for a bleed build until you get clock/bbi/hod
but I would be surprised if you have 3x SS and 50% and exsang isn't simming higher
ooooooh so c&s is simming into my essences whenever i sim gorak tuls shoulder instead of ilgy shoulders
and tbh i kinda just dont want to run bbi lol
bbi is poggies tho
need more corruption
yeah but bbi just feels like its going to be too sporadic when all your dmg is condensed to 10 second windows lol
i have 6 more exped 3
scent of blood is a bad trait, the shoulders aren't good either
i just dont know if my gear is worth putting on it
ineffable truth is actually just a straight dps down
so that's a dead corruption
should get some mechagon rings
should i throw exped 3 on any other pieces u think?
rank 3 iris would help too
thank u btw
the gloves and wrists need replacing for some haste/something gear
you got a lot of vers
the daggers you already mentioned
the rings should be mechagon rings
you can toss on the exped's onto stuff for now
cause its probably gonna take a while to get it all replaced
bbi is a 400 dps increase 🤔 whats the uptime on bbi again?
bout 25%
Here's my current sim. I still have a few pieces of loot to get, namely, the logic loop of division ring, vita or lustrous plumage, and the Type II Bomber Jacket. 7 Exp 3's, still need a Exp 2.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/cNKPpMAoQJr1obaS1ukTMk
i have lower ilevel shit with haste/maste on it
you'll want to save corruptions for 465+ gear ideally
ok well looks like i got some grinding to do
@covert needle looks okay, whats the question?
i gotta just trust bbi instead of feelcrafting triple hod
why wouldn't you trust bbi
What's the best build if I want the most damage possible on M+?
@naive lynx depends on key
there's 2 trains of thought
there's the raid/exped set
which will pump on KR/WS
and tyran stuff
and there's severe/strikethrough crit/vers 3x EB
which is higher aoe
i just look at 25% uptime on bbi when exsang is a 12 second window looks tight
@balmy condor thanks
its guaranteed to proc at the start of a fight crab
like most things
or at least it has a preference to the start of a fight
so how do you aoe with echoing blades do i just spam fan of knifes?
spam fok at 9+
thanks
is there a way to make raidbots sim without vanish?
so i could sim 115k if i ran clf 🤔
now i just have to find a fight where i can run clf
why would you want to sim without vanish as a sin rogue
to use it defensively 🙂
because i want to try to match my dps on a dummy but vanishing on a dummy breaks meters
you can run clf on any fight in nyalotha
not how our spec works sadly
realistically how much off on DPS should i be without the vanish
gotta get them mecha rings
i knowwww
giga haste
i keep running it but they wont drop
I’m having a hard time with CT I feel like every time I’m fighting with keeping that dog up and Envenom buff up
Any suggestions?
Yeah I've found myself caring less about env after switching to CT
I still try and get it as much as I can but the bleeds seem to be yuge
What's a good time to refresh CT btw?
i need specific seconds here whispyr
Which becomes priority if both are about to go off at same time
you are my senpai i need answers
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/txoz3CYLo95Zwxd4DH7xs2 Running this tonight for Drest. What's a "safe" corruption level yall run? Ill be 49 after my vision prior to raid. Is that all g?
with the exsang build ive never tried to keep env buff uptime. it just happens
im running 54 fuck my healers
Oh really?!? I thought the envenom buff uptime was a must
not at all
i think that's more of a thing with tb build
Holy sh** mind blown
lets be real here envenom uptime was only "important" in the TB build because it was the only thing you could actual keep track of because its so boring
true
its was the only way to "optimize" that build
we have so much haste now though that it's hard to drop envenom lmao
garrot1
that's the opener
garrote2
you garrote 3 targets
yis
thanks!
If Drest isn't prog rather a re-clear - would 49 be okay do yall think? Or am I just asking to get spanked.
Wicked thanks.
When did sims tell y'all to switch to CT over PB? I'm at 63% haste and PB still sims higher
do you have a TTK helm
i got mine around 70
I have been super unlucky wtih my azerite pieces
if you have a TTK trait, you're never going to see CT
Looking back I should've just saved up, but I tried to gamble and here we are
TTK?
I don't have any TTK's
1 SS and 2 DD
Gotcha. ty ty
there's probably some stat things happening with it
but I'm honestly not too sure why it happens
CT was better at 58% for me
Did you have a lot of mastery or crit?
Hmm
and as far as I remember, mastery affects PB
if it doesn't its the mastery
very clearly
My 455 dice always sim higher than my 460 vita
yeah that happens
anything good from corruption vendor tomorrow?
Big Expedient 3
yeah exped 3 is huge
is exp3 go to for ST assa or?
yes
Yes

ah alright
Saved up for 7 extra tomorrow
Whats holding me back from 95k? Is it the lack of Heart of Darkness pieces or the masterful corruption? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/i5KwFS36Bomj2Yurj23BuU
I'll take a look in a second
probably missing hod, that's a biggun
thats my guess...but number crunching and sims arent my strong point. Im just a button pusher
I'll make some gear-compares and stuff for you when I'm back
cause I'm a number cruncher by trade
appreciated. ty whispyr
^he's p. good at it
helps when I'm helping people 24/7
why are you running those essences exactly
lot of experiences
did I miss some lore here or
those essences gave me shell shock
the helm/ct are within margin, but you really need to change up those essences
lol
REE
RIGGED
I haven't opened the sim yet

so I'm excited
I like a good shell shocking
that's my kink fetish uh.... It's a good time
yeah essences...whoops
you're always welcome to try and squeeze more out of mine :3

condensed - bote/iris/breath sims about 2k higher than the set up provided in the haste guide. how do i even use clf in my rotation with it being on a 3min CD?
got it
whats to consider with the kill times?
just making sure im able to get a 2nd use?
if i can get a second use where do i use it at? just immediately off CD?
so for a 5min fight for example
you're only ever getting 2 casts anyway
so you would hold it for the next vanish/vendetta lineup
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tqoaktk6hhLkRj9FGT4fdg i guess it was the essences...REEE
its always better to line it up with something rather than not lining it up with something
< feelsbad
wouldn't i be holding everything else for CLF?
given that its 3 minutes and i use it in the opener
er not holding
but waiting
so hold everything and wait for CLF
use everything a 2nd time
once CLF comes up
you hold for a good lineup if that's your last cast of CLF
in a 7 minute fight
so realistically to get good use out of it
you get 3 casts
so you cast in opener, on cd
and then lineup the last one with something
Does the sim account for people using there essence for the formless void?
you can select formless void uptime in the bottom
symbiotic
np
U shouldnt chck expedient on haste/vers right?
wdym
Like is it worth it or should i wait fkr a haste/mast or haste/crit piece
Since vers sounds like its not that good for st
its fine
Sweet
our final build is 8 exp and 1 honed mind?
7x exp 3 1x exped 2 1x hm3
we should simc 110k +- with those corruptions?
with the correct build yeah those corruptions are the best bang for your buck in your corruption budget
but thats still not viable for another month+ when we get more corruption resistance
YOINK EM
Will I do the big duppus.
you will BE the big duppus
!stats
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.
yeh
whats people stats looking like with expedient?
i have 80%
hearing alot of other rogues say roughly the same number for the high end.
anywhere from 50-80% i think?
80% for the high end yeah
if i run the third hod tho id be at 83 
how do you do an opener with subterfuge if you dont have shrouded suffocation beacuse i cant seem to find it anywhere
gar mut rup
and then vendetta botm Tb?
np happens
and i assume best weapon enchants would be force mulitplier + quick nav
i ll have less tmrw when i ll socket my 485 boots
and put a socket in it
ehh expedient
its ~390 dps more than 475 haste mastery socket
so its not even that much overkill considering some of the dps comes from +10 ilvl
oh yeah im just too lazy
i think i could replace 3-4 sockets with crit
for the 2-3 min fights
but it wont change anything ... parses are about some luck with procs and mostly killtime so i dont even care :D
actually ill run a sim hold up
we can check for 3 minute fights
brb bathroom while it ll sim it
Shit & Sim
@fast nacelle ayo
@lone junco ayyyy how are you bud. long time no see
when we had the switch to exang few weeks back i though of you lmao
as the exang lover #1
Been doing keys as Rdruid as well. So guess I'm a Healy boy until the end now.
400ish dps with some mastery in it
not really worth considering at 5 min fights (or with clf) you have this one
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mbi5WwtszqBxSQWtfMhsxa
so just getting 485 boots crit mastery should be fine to call it a day for both - bote and clf
For aoe, when I'm in a mass aoe situation is it better to alternate FoK and CT or just spam FoK (2 EB traits)
Envenom until 7, then CT until 9-10 (with 3x EB), then FoK spam
Thanks
Another question - on pull, if I get 5 cp twice in a row (so g r g, ct, mut to 5) to I go to 6 cp or just rupture at 5 and then exsang?
Mut to 6
👍
Quick question on sims here boys i've got a 460 Vita that's losing to my 465 Dice but that's 5% haste alone from the vita if i change?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/cEVbdaTx9F3zQ46YTzq3iL
Yeah ok i figured it was to do with the socket aswell
You still take vita because of the party buff though
Oh actually, alright thanks man 😄
The party-haste is worth more than the difference from harlans
Before vendetta in opener
tyra doesn't
Probably precasts
But you did ask about “most” people right
And not what does Tyra do

true 😄
guys help
why is worldvein simming higher than bote
something's wrong i can feel it

At what % of haste does Crimson Tempest become better than PB im on 75% haste an it sims for 1700 less dps?
My best guess is that the worldvein is stronger than bote because you’re missing a lot of agi from having 465 Azerite
But uhhhh
Definitely sus
@mortal oriole that sounds like an iron tide helmet
Give me a second I’ll take a look
Oh i am indeed running an irontide helm lol has to do with the Twist the Knife then right
Whats the rotation like when using the raid build in m+
3 ss into ct?
And then what
CT spam
Fok build combo ct spam to use combo
Yeah
Sweet ty
@rigid eagle couldn’t get it to get rid of worldvein
@balmy condor yeah lol, im fucked
I haven’t seen it before
do i save exsang for every WV then
Honestly confused
rip man
btw @steep plover look at the initial dmg of CT, when u hit 5 targets at once that dmg is already more than envenom
i gave him azerites + plumage but it didnt work 😄 https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3tjXH82nWmMQouJrqhJG4Q
LOL wtf
btw @steep plover look at the initial dmg of CT, when u hit 5 targets at once that dmg is already more than envenom
@rigid eagle right sweet
ah rip then
7> do u just focus 1 target?
Yeah that’s your job anyway as a haste build
Spread bleeds, exsang high prio
Might try it out this week
Fuck these affixes but
@fleet anchor send help why is worldvein popping off on this guys sims
Very confusion
hmm?
yeah dude the walls are closing in
He has bote3
Running exped/exsang
Looks normal
But WV Major is like 3%
And we have no idea why
Because he has 10 Worldvein Allies in that sim
I mean even with 0 WV is one of our best majors
Thought I checked
Always has been
Yeah but 3% over bote?
WV has always been better than BotE as long as you don't lose significant uptime during cooldowns
Pretty much used WV exclusively this tier until CLF killed it due to neck scaling 😛
it's a larger margin than usual because he doesn't have conflict 3
People's fear of getting outside of the WV circle basically scares them off using it though
Even though it's like.. really easy to stay in during the on-use
Since the range is quite large
yeah but the problem isnt the on use
its all the minor shards youre losing on alot of fights
The on-use is the main source of the value for us though
Even with 0 allies and low shard uptime it's still good because it syncs with every CD cycle
actually if i do run WV can i afford to save exsang for WV cd lol
Best not to overthink being in the shards more or less if you do happen to use it
im tempted to try it now
It's something you can try to do but wouldn't stress about it too much
I mean it's a 12y radius
Which gives a pretty massive circle to run in
you make me learn something new every day koji
Always depends on stats though
Assassination has more viable majors than most specs, even though most people only use one 😄
The whole WV+CLF play with Formless can be pretty strong too
Hi guys, can I borrow one of u in PM to ask 2-3 things about assination against outlaw ?
Breath will be back on the menu in the prepatch too probably
After we lose our precious haste
Breath only got squeezed out by GCD lock
It was performing really well otherwise
I'm not looking forward to prepatch going back down to like 10 APM
😛
Ok I'm using hyperbole
high estimates
More like 5
@dim estuary Sure but like.. just play what you want to play mostly 😄
ahahah
hah
i'm a sin guy from last expac
but i tried outlaw for the first time and I need to get convinced to stay sin ahah
i'm more m+ oriented
just play outlaw in m+
Outlaw is pretty fun
yeah sin has its shortfalls in m+
Assassination takes a lot of gear setup to be as fun as Outlaw in M+ to be perfectly honest
outlaw is just everything you need
it felt more dynamic than sin with my low ilvl (430)
Assassination is fun in M+... when you spend 10985 years getting a good setup for it
But at lower ilevel I think Outlaw is probably the play
poisons bomb doesnt do dmg anymore
😮
poison bomb is rubbish
But you can play what you want honestly, both specs can be good
But if you stick with Assassination the gear requirements are a bit higher for sure
yeah, but on bosses it feels like it's so fucking slow
maybe i can start outlaw then i'll go sin when I can minmax the spec better ?
i play both specs in m+ and i honestly think i do more damage as assassination
the issue im running into is with how good mages and hunters are, nobody cares about the rogue's damage
I think that may be possible now yes
it just needs to be reasaonable
My damage feels slightly higher as Assassination nowadays, but my gear is a bit better too
More sockets on my Assassination gear
i just dinged yesterday i'm 430 currently
youre there for trix, vanish skips, mob control, and the occasional shroud
in which case outlaw has the edge
and if no matter what you do youre 40-50k behind the nuclear mage in your group
lmao
theyre going to prefer you play outlaw for more easily facilitating those things
i switched from fire mage to go back to my rogue
so i have the opposite experience from Koji
im doing more damage as sin on high keys (24s and 25s) with 3 less sockets
but when i say more, i mean like 5-10k overall more
and most groups will not care enough about that to sacrifice the CD on Vanish, and gouge
and if I decide to go the haste ST build then
since again the mage and hunter are carrying the dps anyway
i'll still be decent in m+ and excelling on bosses then right ?
its going to give you very good ST for the bosses for sure
actually I only aim to clear all 15 timed first so...
i have ran into an issue where my 2nd vendetta lines up with the mage's 2nd combust and they basically kill the boss before i get full value
on fort weeks (push weeks)
however having tested it i wont pretend its anywhere near as good in AOE as the crt build
if you only want to clear all 15s you can run the haste build
those can be 3 manned
you can run anything you want and its more than fine
