hearty cave
#

Would you recommend keeping TD 3, or replacing it with a few stacks of expedient?

#

All I've got currently is 2 expedient 3s and 1 TD 3

timid coral
#

just sim it... the answer will be exp, but just sim it

balmy condor
#

Ye

humble valley
#

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?

balmy condor
#

Yes, roughly 60% haste, maintain

#

Don’t force it into exsang

#

You should sim yourself to see when it becomes good for your character

humble valley
#

okay ty ty

idle nova
#

woo

balmy condor
#

mine's doodoo

idle nova
#

now i need to farm another socket

robust lintel
#

for pvp is all gushing best or just go for expediant(hast) if i raid 1 time a week

balmy condor
#

GW will be better for pvp, but worse for raids

#

haste will be better for raids, but worse for pvp

#

pick your poison

robust lintel
#

aw shit

main forge
#

or grind 70k echoes and get both

robust lintel
#

pfff

main forge
#

and say goodbye to them in 3 months

balmy condor
#

^

main forge
#

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.

robust lintel
#

well only really wanan pvp for the rank 3 blood for youe neck, so will probably stick with hast

balmy condor
#

oh

#

yeah that's big whatever

celest sundial
#

waaait, dice is simming almost 1k more than vita on patchwerk for me, wtf

balmy condor
#

is it a 475 dice

#

it'll do that

celest sundial
#

yea it is

#

I have 2x 472 dice lul

#

475*

balmy condor
#

should still run the vita

#

the party buff is gonna be worth more than that

celest sundial
#

hmm

arctic socket
#

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?

balmy condor
#

blood is still basically BiS

vast forum
#

blood is the overall best

#

but you might wanna swap to clf on certain fight times

balmy condor
#

CLF is marginally better in raids

vast forum
#

in general, if you never swap away from blood in pve content, you're not doing anything wrong

arctic socket
#

Alright so it’s still a swap between CLF and BOE thank you a lot

balmy condor
#

np

arctic socket
#

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?

balmy condor
#

mastery doesn't affect GW

#

you should stack exped for raids

arctic socket
#

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

lunar tangle
#

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?

balmy condor
#

never go nightstalker

#

nightstalker

#

is poop

#

exped is good either way for raid

lunar tangle
#

i meant Master assassin sorry

balmy condor
#

shrouded/exsang is objectively better for raids than a crit TB build

lunar tangle
#

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

balmy condor
#

the one that sims higher

#

if you don't have the gear for exsang, don't run it

lunar tangle
#

What exactly is the gear for exsang multiple expeds?

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

you'll want expeds regardless though

lunar tangle
#

yeah then nightstalker tb would be better in that case

balmy condor
#

its 7x exped 3, 1x exped 2, 1x Hm3 or Rp3

#

master assassin

lunar tangle
#

master assassin****

thin cargo
#

Lol nightstalker

lunar tangle
#

sorry for the brain dead

balmy condor
#

remove that from your vocabulary lmao

lunar tangle
#

LOOOOL

balmy condor
#

you'll play subt with a TB build as well eventually

#

once you get more expeds and gear

lunar tangle
#

yeah havent touched my rogue ever since essences came out so this is going to be a yike

thin cargo
#

You might luck into 3 ss traits then. Those were good at launch

balmy condor
#

yeah but if he doesn't have the haste it won't beat it

thin cargo
#

Truth

lunar tangle
#

and whats the best essence setup

#

sorry for all these questions just want to be prepared

balmy condor
#

for your gear

#

probably will be some janky WV maj iris/lucid/breath thing

#

WV is great for undergeared

thin cargo
#

Lucid major lol

balmy condor
#

but you'll want Bote or CLF

lunar tangle
#

i am 470 ILevel btw

balmy condor
#

then you'll probably see bote

#

that's a sim question tho

lunar tangle
#

yeah i guess ill just sim that part

balmy condor
#

lucid major is trash though don't do that

arctic socket
#

Another equation wanted to ask was do I still rock my mythic font/coral or is there better trinkets?

balmy condor
#

vita/plumage

#

you could do galecallers instead of plumage, the pvp on use vers medallion, which is identical to plumage

#

harlans is good too

arctic socket
#

Kk yeah I got some gearing to do

#

Stuck at 447 ilvl, Very good when I was playin but dog shit now 😂

balmy condor
#

yeah that's omega yikes

#

need to farm those m+

whole salmon
#

how much damage does thing from beyond do at 45 corruption? is it relatively safe to use and what defensive options do we have?

balmy condor
#

you can eat it to the face at 45

#

you can run elusiveness and feint

#

could blind it

arctic socket
#

elusiveness is big

balmy condor
#

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

whole salmon
#

does legendary cloak negate it completely?

balmy condor
#

it removes it

strange python
#

cloak of shadows negates it

#

legendary cloak removes it

balmy condor
#

"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

whole salmon
#

nice i guess ill try it tonight 😛

balmy condor
#

but honestly 45 corruption is weak sauce

#

you could run 45 and just stand still

#

and probably be fine

strange python
#

39 for n'zoth progress?

fleet whale
#

I like to be below 40 just cause i don't like the purple shit around my character

strange python
#

whispyr

balmy condor
#

ye if you're doing hard prog

#

then you'll want to drop

strange python
#

would u go over 40 on n'zoth prog?

fleet whale
#

but if you go above 40

balmy condor
#

cause healers are hard-stuck

fleet whale
#

really you can go 59 cause i don't think thing damage actually increases

strange python
#

considering constant damage

fleet whale
#

it just runs faster

balmy condor
#

nah

#

it hits harder

#

says so in the tooltip as well

main forge
#

If you need more that 39 corruption on progression... then the problem isn't likely you on why the boss isn't going down

balmy condor
#

ye

fleet whale
#

i just looked at the tooltip

#

and all it says for me is that speed increases with further corruption

main forge
#

but getting hit by a thing from beyond at a 5% and killing you... yeah that no bueno

balmy condor
#

really

#

is the damage just eyeball

strange python
#

so I go under 39? 🙂

#

under 40*

whole salmon
#

im assuming cheat death will save me as well

balmy condor
#

it will

fleet whale
#

yeah eyeball damage and radius increases

balmy condor
#

and if you're doing hard prog, you should do sub-40

#

yes

fleet whale
#

the eyeball becomes a bigger issue imo with higher corruption

whole salmon
#

nah just farming heroics

balmy condor
#

then run like 70

#

fuck that

#

ausrr was parsing with like 98 corruption or something on mythic maut

main forge
#

sad you can't go above 200 anymore 😦

balmy condor
#

I run 80 on our heroics

fleet whale
#

is that 200 base corruption or 200 including resist

balmy condor
#

including

fleet whale
#

idk how people were running 200+

balmy condor
#

rextroy ran like 500 corruption worth of IS

#

and then one shot people in arena

fleet whale
#

like that eyeball

#

will cover the entire zone

balmy condor
#

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

#

;-;

strange python
#

Wait did they?

balmy condor
#

yeah

strange python
#

what effect?

balmy condor
#

you take like 25% of your hp every second

strange python
#

LOL

#

worth on progress 🙂

fleet whale
#

i mean to be fair, running over 200 corruption is still deadly even without the new effect

balmy condor
#

its just to stop the cheese

quaint vortex
#

I ran 102 in some of our heroic kills

sterile lodge
#

Is there a reason why it would tell me to socket agil over haste?

balmy condor
#

not enough expeds probably

#

usually you see the agi gem with lower gear

sterile lodge
#

7 exp 3 and 1 exp 1

balmy condor
#

yike

#

no clue

#

is it a big up?

timid coral
#

you might also have "always choose agi" checked

balmy condor
#

yeah

sterile lodge
#

Like +5

balmy condor
#

oh

#

well that's literally nothing

#

ez margin of error on that one

sterile lodge
#

kk thx

lunar tangle
#

wait what im confused 😒

balmy condor
#

seems okay

#

whats the confusion

lunar tangle
#

its telling me to run subterfuge with 0 ss traits

balmy condor
#

correct

lunar tangle
#

when even though i tagged them on the pieces them selves?

balmy condor
#

subt scales harder

lunar tangle
#

damn

#

did they buff it since essences came out or something?

balmy condor
#

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

runic kiln
#

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%

balmy condor
#

are you simming stat weights for that info?

runic kiln
#

yes

balmy condor
#

don't do that

runic kiln
#

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

balmy condor
#

basically you're in a point in your gear where it thinks an increase in mastery is going to give you more damage

runic kiln
#

just out of curiosity if theres a point where you start re-stacking nonhaste stats

balmy condor
#

our stats are all fairly good

#

so its natural for crit/mast to swing wildly

runic kiln
#

has vers above crit for me which ive never seen before

balmy condor
#

yeah

runic kiln
#

granted i only have 150 vers...

balmy condor
#

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

celest sundial
#

I thought coral was gonna be my best trinket but it sims lower than dice and galecallers, hmm

steel ridge
#

Coral doesnt give haste 😙

celest sundial
#

it still sims very close tho

balmy condor
#

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

steel ridge
#

But flat damage is gud

celest sundial
#

for me coral sims higher than plumage

balmy condor
#

what ilvl/socket

celest sundial
#

450 non socket vs 465 non socket

balmy condor
#

a 450 coral

#

god I hate you

celest sundial
#

I got it literally like 5 mins ago lul

#

thats why I started simming

balmy condor
#

coral still strong ye

celest sundial
#

but I guess I wont be using it anyways

balmy condor
#

fk coral

steel ridge
#

Noice

warm parcel
#

you can be at a point where adding a gem of mas is better than haste

#

and expedient is still your best corr

balmy condor
#

^

warm parcel
#

theyre not mutually exclusive

#

stat weights also only add stats

#

they don account for you swapping a gem/enchant

#

its always just adding more

balmy condor
#

weak out here spitting faks

warm parcel
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeah

ruby ibex
#

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

balmy condor
#

during opener

#

also before every exsang

ruby ibex
#

Ok, so if I get super unlucky and after 2x Mutilates I am at 5cp, I am muting again?

balmy condor
#

yep

#

there's times where you'll vend-mut

#

and land 5

#

then cast the CT

#

and then have to cast 3 muts

ruby ibex
#

but the rest of the time, a 5cp rupture is ok? along with CT and Envenom

balmy condor
#

they're pretty rare

#

yes

#

6cp only for ruptures before an exsang for full pandemic

ruby ibex
#

during standard rotation, would I prioritize maintaining rupture over CT?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

without any buffs, you're prioritizing rupture, then CT, then envenom for combo points

#

and you're prioritizing garrote uptime over CT uptime

tulip panther
#

Hey guys, can someone with raid bot premiun help me with my top gear? there's so much interaction i can't sim properly

balmy condor
#

sure

ruby ibex
#

Sweet. Thanks again, as always! lol

balmy condor
#

np

mental trout
balmy condor
#

I already see a big flaw

dark crag
#

Is that for full cloak later on?

balmy condor
#

your discord name is crimp with a c, but your character name is krimp with a k

#

actually triggered

mental trout
#

hahaha, it was my classic rogue name but some one took it

#

rock climbing problems lol

dark crag
#

Your rings remind me, i got to 115k without the rings

#

I should farm mechagon

mental trout
#

im not sure why it puts me at that 155 corruption... i have enough enough to be max cloak atm also

warm olive
#

in an 100k sim, how much of a difference is division vs recursion? can someone give me a rough estimate?

mental trout
#

total on all that gear is 175. my current cloak is 80 + 10 from essence

balmy condor
#

@warm olive use gear compare

mental trout
#

so it should read 85, not sure why it has 155

warm olive
#

can i sim items i dont have there? i will give it a try thanks

balmy condor
#

that's what its for, yes

ruby ibex
#

#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?

fallow peak
#

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!

balmy condor
#

@ruby ibex why aren't you just binding CT to Shift+button?

mental trout
#

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.

balmy condor
#

that seems like a huge hassle for something you could just have another action bar for

ruby ibex
#

Because then I woould have to change my UI to show another button, and I really don't wanna do that

warm parcel
#

also startattack lines have been useless for a good few years

#

its built in all off moves at this point

balmy condor
#

np crimp

#

I try my best XD

ruby ibex
#

o

#

lol

warm parcel
#

did you try swapping "mod" to "modifier"

#

dno if it requires full word

strange python
#

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.

balmy condor
#

keys

#

spamming keys is just huge

fleet whale
#

if he's at 410 he'll have to do some M0s likely

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

but dungeons

#

for sure

strange python
#

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

fleet whale
#

pvp conquest cap gives you a 440

balmy condor
#

enlighten you regarding what

strange python
#

keys

#

or M0s

#

both?

fleet whale
#

M+ dungeons

balmy condor
#

so there's a m+ system

ruby ibex
#

Full word didn't seem to fix it @warm parcel

fleet whale
#

and M 0 is just a regular mythic dungeon

balmy condor
#

I'll get you a wowhead link hold on

strange python
#

ok so mythic and mythic+ dungeons

fleet whale
#

and even heroic dungeons, the one you can use the automated group finder for

#

drop 430s

balmy condor
#

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

strange python
#

well ive done A mythic dungeon before like, once and it wasnt too bad but it took forever to find one

balmy condor
#

its a lot easier when you've got a guild or friends

warm parcel
#

even mod works just fine
@ruby ibex youve your shift + whatever the bind is bound already

fleet whale
#

also, if you haven't killed him already

strange python
#

well i dont got a guild and i have no friends

warm parcel
#

so it defaults to that instead of this macro

ruby ibex
#

I Def don't, I made sure it was unbound

fleet whale
#

there is a world boss in Uldum right now that can drop 445 pants or a 445 ring

strange python
#

name?

fleet whale
#

I can't think of his name but if you look at the uldum map

balmy condor
#

its the big purple world quest when you get there

strange python
#

oh

warm parcel
#

works just fine

fleet whale
#

you'll see a purple circle that's where he'll be

warm parcel
#

(thats me tapping shift)

strange python
#

so THATS what those are

#

i saw the purple ones but i thought nothing of them

balmy condor
#

purple is world boss

#

the shiny blue ones are elites

#

and the rest are regular

strange python
#

aight

#

i hate being a noob lol

balmy condor
#

happens

#

we all start somewhere

strange python
#

im from valorant and dark souls

ruby ibex
#

It's Shift+E, idk if that's a thing, but it's definitely not bound to anything in WoW

warm parcel
#

a lot of mod binds are

ruby ibex
#

So it's on the bar, bound to E; shift mod would make it shift e

strange python
#

ok so dungeons and world bosses

warm parcel
#

it didnt work for me when I had shift 3 bound

strange python
#

i can do that

warm parcel
#

but unbinding it makes macro work on "3"

balmy condor
#

world quests and visions drop stuff too

#

that's pretty good

#

at least early on

strange python
#

41 million... thats a lot of health

warm parcel
#

if I have shift 3 bound

#

you can see it blink on "shift 3 bind" not on the macro

balmy condor
#

you need a group for world bosses

warm parcel
#

so it defaults to the bind if there is one

strange python
#

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

balmy condor
#

spam stealth button

warm parcel
#

dont be first one in

balmy condor
#

that too

warm parcel
#

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

strange python
#

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

warm parcel
#

yup

strange python
#

so probably even by clicking after him thats way quicker

#

tyty

novel drum
#

dont be in stealth when you channel

ruby ibex
#

I tried it on bars bound to 1, 5, E, and H, none of which should be bound to anything already with a shift

warm parcel
#

haste build makes you enter so quick

strange python
#

ye i know that @novel drum

warm parcel
#

then it could be any of your addons regarding UI

ruby ibex
#

K, I logged out and back in and that fixed it. Idk wtf that means, but I guess

#

changed nothing, works on shift e

warm parcel
ruby ibex
#

Imma go die now

loud brook
novel drum
#

what have you done

loud brook
#

i have ascended past and gone even further beyond

loud light
#

living the life of ripping threat off the tank in the first 2 seconds of every pull

loud brook
#

true

novel drum
#

nah man he has tricks

#

so only every other pull if he never loses focus

loud light
#

gotta proc right after tricks wears off then

rose ermine
#

What is a good haste percent?

balmy condor
#

higher

novel drum
#

18

balmy condor
#

higher than you have

rose ermine
#

lmaooo

balmy condor
#

whatever haste % you have

#

double it

#

and add 3

loud brook
#

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

rose ermine
balmy condor
#

oh

#

well

#

you should TRIPLE that haste then

#

my bad

#

people running around with 80% atm XD

rose ermine
#

WHAT

balmy condor
#

yuh

half timber
#

How much corruption are most of you running?

balmy condor
#

sub 60 for most everything

#

sub 40 for prog

rose ermine
#

Good lord.

novel drum
#

59

#

crisp 59

#

shoved a honed mind 1 into my last dagger just now

balmy condor
#

crisp 59 this week yeah

half timber
#

how do you deal with the things from beyond? just eat them?

novel drum
#

nom nom

#

eat em up

rose ermine
#

What about Crit and Mastery?

balmy condor
#

blind, cloak, legendary cloak, feint with elusive, eat them

peak jungle
#

When playing exsang/haste build, what secondary stat is generally best after haste?

balmy condor
#

crit is between 30-35% and mastery is like 45-55ish

novel drum
#

theyre all 3 very near eachother and really differ form person to person @peak jungle

peak jungle
#

Thanks

balmy condor
#

vers is the worst

loud brook
#

I run 49 or lower

balmy condor
#

you should be going for mastery/crit

peak jungle
#

Got it

novel drum
#

vers is typically the worst but sometimes even then youll gem vers

balmy condor
#

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

rose ermine
#

Vers is just for PvP yeah?

novel drum
#

noo

crimson palm
#

79 is fine on all bosses apart from nzoth

balmy condor
#

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

novel drum
#

not to continue the discussion of vers, but c&s is now simming good for me T.T

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that'll happen

sly ferry
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

sly ferry
#

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

novel drum

DD is still good

#

and so is NP (less so)

balmy condor
#

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

novel drum
#

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

balmy condor
#

bbi is poggies tho

north pond
#

can someone help with how shitty my dps is

#

i know my daggers but i need help

balmy condor
#

need more corruption

novel drum
#

yeah but bbi just feels like its going to be too sporadic when all your dmg is condensed to 10 second windows lol

north pond
#

i have 6 more exped 3

balmy condor
#

scent of blood is a bad trait, the shoulders aren't good either

north pond
#

i just dont know if my gear is worth putting on it

balmy condor
#

ineffable truth is actually just a straight dps down

#

so that's a dead corruption

#

should get some mechagon rings

north pond
#

should i throw exped 3 on any other pieces u think?

balmy condor
#

rank 3 iris would help too

north pond
#

thank u btw

balmy condor
#

the belt probably

#

but you're gonna be replacing basically everything else

north pond
#

rank 3 iris is next week chest 😦

#

ok so belt? and then replace everything else?

balmy condor
#

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

novel drum
#

bbi is a 400 dps increase 🤔 whats the uptime on bbi again?

balmy condor
#

bout 25%

covert needle
north pond
#

i have lower ilevel shit with haste/maste on it

balmy condor
#

you'll want to save corruptions for 465+ gear ideally

north pond
#

ok well looks like i got some grinding to do

balmy condor
#

@covert needle looks okay, whats the question?

novel drum
#

i gotta just trust bbi instead of feelcrafting triple hod

balmy condor
#

why wouldn't you trust bbi

naive lynx
#

What's the best build if I want the most damage possible on M+?

fleet whale
#

someone people are extremely allergic to any sort of rng

#

no matter how small it is

balmy condor
#

@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

novel drum
#

i just look at 25% uptime on bbi when exsang is a 12 second window looks tight

naive lynx
#

@balmy condor thanks

balmy condor
#

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

autumn night
#

so how do you aoe with echoing blades do i just spam fan of knifes?

balmy condor
#

spam fok at 9+

autumn night
#

thanks

balmy condor

Fok->CT spam at 7

#

and fok->enven otherwise

autumn night
#

alright

#

thanks for the help

runic kiln
#

is there a way to make raidbots sim without vanish?

novel drum
#

so i could sim 115k if i ran clf 🤔

#

now i just have to find a fight where i can run clf

balmy condor
#

why would you want to sim without vanish as a sin rogue

novel drum
#

to use it defensively 🙂

runic kiln
#

because i want to try to match my dps on a dummy but vanishing on a dummy breaks meters

vast forum
#

you can run clf on any fight in nyalotha

balmy condor
#

not how our spec works sadly

runic kiln
#

realistically how much off on DPS should i be without the vanish

novel drum
#

have a buddy in party keep combat rolling for you

#

should keep you in combat i think

balmy condor
#

or log it

#

or log your raids

quiet radish
#

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?

balmy condor
#

that's normal

#

its not a long dot

strange python
#

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?

balmy condor
#

in pandemic

#

like rupture

#

or anything else

strange python
#

i need specific seconds here whispyr

quiet radish
#

Which becomes priority if both are about to go off at same time

strange python
#

you are my senpai i need answers

balmy condor
#

30% of the duration of the newly applied dot

#

would you like an example

strange python
#

so 30% of 14 seconds

#

4 seconds

autumn cosmos
novel drum
#

with the exsang build ive never tried to keep env buff uptime. it just happens

balmy condor
#

probably should be sub 40

#

for prog

#

a smash + the tfb will crush you

strange python
#

im running 54 fuck my healers

quiet radish
#

Oh really?!? I thought the envenom buff uptime was a must

balmy condor
#

not at all

strange python
#

i think that's more of a thing with tb build

balmy condor
#

envenom uptime is something I don't even think about anymore

#

with all that haste

quiet radish
#

Holy sh** mind blown

balmy condor
#

you can mut, refresh ct

#

and then mut into an envenom

#

before it even drops off

novel drum
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

honestly though

strange python
#

true

novel drum
#

its was the only way to "optimize" that build

balmy condor
#

we have so much haste now though that it's hard to drop envenom lmao

naive lynx
#

sorry but what do these mean? 😄

novel drum
#

balmy condor

that's the opener

thanks!

autumn cosmos
#

If Drest isn't prog rather a re-clear - would 49 be okay do yall think? Or am I just asking to get spanked.

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

49 should be fine for a re-clear

autumn cosmos
#

Wicked thanks.

humble valley
#

When did sims tell y'all to switch to CT over PB? I'm at 63% haste and PB still sims higher

balmy condor
#

do you have a TTK helm

icy girder
#

i got mine around 70

balmy condor
#

irontide perhaps

#

60-65% for most

humble valley
#

I have been super unlucky wtih my azerite pieces

balmy condor
#

if you have a TTK trait, you're never going to see CT

humble valley
#

Looking back I should've just saved up, but I tried to gamble and here we are

#

TTK?

balmy condor
#

twist the knife

#

the envenom trait

humble valley
#

I don't have any TTK's

balmy condor
#

aha

#

then you're chillin

humble valley
#

1 SS and 2 DD

balmy condor
#

oh

#

well that doesn't impact the CT thing

#

but yeah

#

needs more haste probably

humble valley
#

Gotcha. ty ty

balmy condor
#

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

humble valley
#

Did you have a lot of mastery or crit?

balmy condor
#

crit affects CT and PB equally

#

so that doesn't matter

humble valley
#

Hmm

balmy condor
#

and as far as I remember, mastery affects PB

#

if it doesn't its the mastery

#

very clearly

humble valley
#

My 455 dice always sim higher than my 460 vita

balmy condor

yeah that happens

rocky holly
#

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?

balmy condor
#

before vendetta in the opener

#

and then you have to think about kill times

rocky holly
#

got it

#

whats to consider with the kill times?

#

just making sure im able to get a 2nd use?

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

you want to sync up CLF with vendetta/vanish ideally

rocky holly
#

if i can get a second use where do i use it at? just immediately off CD?

balmy condor
#

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

sand kestrel
balmy condor
#

its always better to line it up with something rather than not lining it up with something

sand kestrel
#

< feelsbad

rocky holly
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

holding CLF

rocky holly
#

so hold everything and wait for CLF

balmy condor
#

no

#

that's troll

rocky holly
#

use everything a 2nd time

balmy condor
#

once CLF comes up

#

you hold for a good lineup if that's your last cast of CLF

#

in a 7 minute fight

rocky holly
#

so realistically to get good use out of it

balmy condor
#

you get 3 casts

#

so you cast in opener, on cd

#

and then lineup the last one with something

rocky holly
#

got it

#

Does the sim account for people using there essence for the formless void?

our final build is 8 exp and 1 honed mind?

we should simc 110k +- with those corruptions?

balmy condor
#

around there

#

if you have sockets and stuff

novel drum
#

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

that's pretty troll imo

yeh

#

whats people stats looking like with expedient?

novel drum
#

i have 80%

#

hearing alot of other rogues say roughly the same number for the high end.

#

anywhere from 50-80% i think?

balmy condor
#

80% for the high end yeah

if i run the third hod tho id be at 83 tinfoil_pepe

AHA

sorry

balmy condor

and i assume best weapon enchants would be force mulitplier + quick nav

fast nacelle
#

i have 92% haste

#

cant wait for beta to drop to 10% again

balmy condor
#

and that's your highest sim?

#

92% seems pretty overkill

fast nacelle
#

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

balmy condor
#

I meant like

#

crit/mast gems

#

instead of haste

fast nacelle
#

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

@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

lone junco
#

Indeed. Am sad to not be rogue atm.

#

Hpal Ineffable is pretty good memes though.

fast nacelle
#

i played dh 8.3 aswell - rogue is/was just my alt

#

sad times

lone junco
#

Been doing keys as Rdruid as well. So guess I'm a Healy boy until the end now.

fast nacelle
#

what a tragedy

#

holy moly these sims take ages

fast nacelle
#

400ish dps with some mastery in it

#

so just getting 485 boots crit mastery should be fine to call it a day for both - bote and clf

sour wraith
#

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)

balmy condor
#

Envenom until 7, then CT until 9-10 (with 3x EB), then FoK spam

sour wraith
#

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?

balmy condor
#

Mut to 6

sour wraith
#

👍

mortal oriole
balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Harlans got a socket and the vita doesn’t

#

Harlans is very strong

mortal oriole
#

Yeah ok i figured it was to do with the socket aswell

balmy condor
#

You still take vita because of the party buff though

mortal oriole
#

Oh actually, alright thanks man 😄

balmy condor
#

The party-haste is worth more than the difference from harlans

strange python
#

when do most people pop cl

#

f

balmy condor
#

Before vendetta in opener

strange python
#

tyra doesn't

balmy condor
#

Probably precasts

#

But you did ask about “most” people right

#

And not what does Tyra do

strange python
#

true 😄

rigid eagle
#

guys help

#

why is worldvein simming higher than bote

#

something's wrong i can feel it

balmy condor
mortal oriole
#

At what % of haste does Crimson Tempest become better than PB im on 75% haste an it sims for 1700 less dps?

balmy condor
#

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

rigid eagle
#

fookin azerite man

#

and it's like 1k dps gap too

balmy condor
#

Give me a second I’ll take a look

mortal oriole
#

Oh i am indeed running an irontide helm lol has to do with the Twist the Knife then right

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

TTK disables CT in single target

steep plover
#

Whats the rotation like when using the raid build in m+

#

3 ss into ct?

#

And then what

balmy condor
#

And then envenom spam

#

Just like always

steep plover
#

How about for big mob counts

#

Like 6+ 8 +

balmy condor
#

CT spam

steep plover
#

Fok build combo ct spam to use combo

balmy condor
#

Yeah

steep plover
#

Sweet ty

balmy condor
#

@rigid eagle couldn’t get it to get rid of worldvein

rigid eagle
#

@balmy condor yeah lol, im fucked

balmy condor
#

I haven’t seen it before

rigid eagle
#

do i save exsang for every WV then

balmy condor
#

Honestly confused

rigid eagle
#

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

bronze topaz
rigid eagle
#

LOL wtf

balmy condor
#

Yeah I did that too

#

Vel help

steep plover
#

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

balmy condor
#

Also that’s not how math works

#

CT spam on 7

#

Not 5

rigid eagle
#

ah rip then

steep plover
#

7> do u just focus 1 target?

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s your job anyway as a haste build

steep plover
#

Spread bleeds, exsang high prio

#

Might try it out this week

#

Fuck these affixes but

balmy condor
#

@fleet anchor send help why is worldvein popping off on this guys sims

#

Very confusion

fleet anchor
#

hmm?

rigid eagle
#

yeah dude the walls are closing in

balmy condor
#

He has bote3

#

Running exped/exsang

#

Looks normal

#

But WV Major is like 3%

#

And we have no idea why

fleet anchor
#

Because he has 10 Worldvein Allies in that sim

balmy condor
#

I simmed with 0

#

And it still did it

#

I’ll try again though

fleet anchor
#

I mean even with 0 WV is one of our best majors

balmy condor
#

Thought I checked

fleet anchor
#

Always has been

balmy condor
#

Yeah but 3% over bote?

fleet anchor
#

WV has always been better than BotE as long as you don't lose significant uptime during cooldowns

balmy condor
#

Hm

#

I guess

#

Idk it just feels so extreme

fleet anchor
#

Pretty much used WV exclusively this tier until CLF killed it due to neck scaling 😛

arctic walrus
#

it's a larger margin than usual because he doesn't have conflict 3

fleet anchor
#

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

drifting cloud
#

yeah but the problem isnt the on use

#

its all the minor shards youre losing on alot of fights

fleet anchor
#

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

rigid eagle
#

actually if i do run WV can i afford to save exsang for WV cd lol

fleet anchor
#

Best not to overthink being in the shards more or less if you do happen to use it

rigid eagle
#

im tempted to try it now

fleet anchor
#

It's something you can try to do but wouldn't stress about it too much

#

I mean it's a 12y radius

arctic walrus
fleet anchor
#

Which gives a pretty massive circle to run in

balmy condor
#

you make me learn something new every day koji

fleet anchor
#

Always depends on stats though

#

Assassination has more viable majors than most specs, even though most people only use one 😄

balmy condor
#

yeah I knew WV was good

#

I was just surprised to see it so high

fleet anchor
#

The whole WV+CLF play with Formless can be pretty strong too

dim estuary
#

Hi guys, can I borrow one of u in PM to ask 2-3 things about assination against outlaw ?

fleet anchor
#

Breath will be back on the menu in the prepatch too probably

#

After we lose our precious haste

balmy condor
#

and lucid's back

#

oh boy oh boy

fleet anchor
#

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

#

😛

balmy condor
#

10?

#

wow that sounds great

fleet anchor
#

Ok I'm using hyperbole

balmy condor
#

high estimates

fleet anchor
#

More like 5

balmy condor
#

yeah thanks koji

#

5 is more like it

fleet anchor
#

@dim estuary Sure but like.. just play what you want to play mostly 😄

balmy condor
#

We're in the sin channel

#

fk the outlaw guys

dim estuary
#

ahahah

fleet anchor
#

hah

balmy condor
#

outlaw bad sin good

#

reeee

fleet anchor
#

CnS major

#

Is the new meta

dim estuary
#

i'm a sin guy from last expac

balmy condor
#

then you should be a sin guy from this expac

#

:)

dim estuary
#

but i tried outlaw for the first time and I need to get convinced to stay sin ahah

#

i'm more m+ oriented

drifting cloud
#

just play outlaw in m+

fleet anchor
#

Outlaw is pretty fun

balmy condor
#

yeah sin has its shortfalls in m+

fleet anchor
#

Assassination takes a lot of gear setup to be as fun as Outlaw in M+ to be perfectly honest

balmy condor
#

outlaw is just everything you need

dim estuary
#

it felt more dynamic than sin with my low ilvl (430)

fleet anchor
#

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

dim estuary
#

yeah but the feels when you dot everything and poison bomb proc

#

i miss that

drifting cloud
#

poisons bomb doesnt do dmg anymore

dim estuary
#

😮

balmy condor
#

poison bomb is rubbish

fleet anchor
#

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

dim estuary
#

yeah, but on bosses it feels like it's so fucking slow

balmy condor
#

play the haste build in m+

#

you'll be fine

dim estuary
#

maybe i can start outlaw then i'll go sin when I can minmax the spec better ?

fervent jasper
#

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

fleet anchor
#

I think that may be possible now yes

fervent jasper

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

dim estuary
#

lmao

fervent jasper
#

theyre going to prefer you play outlaw for more easily facilitating those things

i switched from fire mage to go back to my rogue

fervent jasper
#

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

dim estuary
#

and if I decide to go the haste ST build then

fervent jasper
#

since again the mage and hunter are carrying the dps anyway

dim estuary
#

i'll still be decent in m+ and excelling on bosses then right ?

fervent jasper
#

its going to give you very good ST for the bosses for sure

dim estuary
#

actually I only aim to clear all 15 timed first so...

fervent jasper
#

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
