these performance charts dont fuck around. its not always clear going into a tier when things are godly
still similar with the patch before that
my point was regarding the width of the spread. there is a lot of value in having a very high low value.
just stay alive and youll do better than a lot of others lol
RIP 45sec vendetta
what pre-pot should i be using for a ST fight versus a AOE boss fight in raid?
focused resolve vs unbridled usually
okay cool ty
okay. I know this isn't the weakaura discord...but I have a text that triggers when I cast EXSAN. Now I want to it to go away after 15 secs like @dire spoke How do I do that?
yeah. I can't get it to turn on, but can't get it to turn off. If that's the only trigger I use, then it doesn't display at all. (not a WA expert at ALL)
raid time. Will figure out later. Thanks @balmy condor
any macros or tricks to managing grand illusions?
only options eh? fair enough. thanks
Shadowmeld dumps it too
if you press meld to drop a thing from beyond, you're inting 🙂
why waste a dps CD defensively instead of doing it the other way around
gottem
you could use a mouseover blind macro

I'm about to step into M Ra'den for the first time as Assassin. Any hot takes so I don't look like a scrub? Crimson Tempest Expedient stacking
Holding vanish for adds will desync vendetta right? worth anyway?
right
the adds come out not much later
not "we"

Oi Whispyr can you explain to me how the nightmare add thingy works that follows someone? that confused the shit out of me 
Whyspir*



Anyone else running expedient stack crimson tempest, what's ur stats lookin like
31/84/39
with there being 3 guides, how can i know which one to ultimately follow? i usually try to read all the guides but if there's a good go-to one
i read the IV one but not wowhead or the class discord one yet
is that without any food buff?
without food
Yeah, I haven't updated the IV Guide for the current Expedient/Deeper Stratagem build, since thats more of a high-end optimization kinda thing. So if youre looking for the current top-tier build and have access to a maxed out corruption budget/gear etc., you should check out the expedient guide from Raz @glad smelt
You can't possibly be running with loop of division, or are you?
i saw that too and i was like oop
another guide
this rogue is a newer toon. only sitting at 450 since maintaining 3 toons was a challenge
still recommend the Raz guide?
Then the expedient build is not something you can run yet
i figured as much heh
Its still the bis corruption, ofc
very generally is expedient best because it makes our dots tick faster?
But the SS/CT/DS/Expedient stack you see the top-rogues play these days doesn't become significantly better than the good'ol DD/NP Vigor one until you hit a decent amount of haste
Yeah. More autoattacks, faster dot-ticks, meaning more damage from the bleeds but also more energy to use etc.
Allows to play without Vigor and still maintain a fairly high APM, and it works very well with Exsanguinate since it snapshots Haste
lol i'm still learning all the traits and whatnot, i'm having to re-learn rogue so much. last time i played one was cata 
So if your brain can handle it, I would definitely recommend familiarizing yourself with the CT/DS/Exsang build so you know what to prepare for both from a gearing perspective and gameplay one
i'll just reference the IV/wowhead ones then for now
crimson tempest, deeper stratagem
Theres a list of abbreviations somewhere
ah yeah
i saw one too
just not sure where i saw it but no biggie
ty ty for the initial info
Anyone else tried Galecaller's Boon instead of plumage?
i mean everytime gcb comes up in conversation it's the same thing right

hey look thats me
it u
that's you 😮
!!!
@balmy condor tbh i thought ur voice would be super UWU
????
wtf
ok actually
now that's a voice that matches
👍 👍
i only have enough echoes for 1 essence right now so for general multi-purpose...blood or beam?
blood
ty!
Is there a way to see amount of stats someone has on raiderio
not directly
you can go to their armory from raider io
yeah
Sweet ty
anyone using the redtusk ui?
dunno what that is
I use my own setup soz
hey folks, for Progging raden do you guys go to orbs?
unless the raid mega needs it, no
imo we're probably one of the worst classes on orbs
our target swap is super tragic
but if you really need the damage then you do what you have to
600k dmg on orbs, had fun running to them every try 
you would have to shadowstep or premove to even have a chance
yeah that's what i did
kinda disgusting
You can't possibly be running with loop of division, or are you?
@carmine latch is this bad??
unless the raid mega needs it, no
@balmy condor thank you
yeah thats what i thought... I have it and a 475 attack from behind activator
i swapped on the 2nd and 3rd sets on prog, but on first one absolutely not, there's way better options lol
and especially now depending on strat you may never get a third set
even on prog
We ran in a circle like headless chickens in 3rd orb phase to push him into p2
yeah that's divison
@balmy condor oh derp. i thought he was talking about the .'..then gain haste 'ring
yuh that one is overclocking XD
Buying Mechagon rings, 1 donut per ring
The highlight of my pvp career. Got killed in the opener
That’s really how it do be some times
I know GW is nerfed, but is it still decent?
I've heard a lot of rogues are stacking it for pvp
is it the full damage when procc'd or is it like cut in half on players? Was curious
neither am I XD
What’s it like for pve? I want to get it for pvp, but I also want to get expedient for pve 😭
its kinda eh
@balmy condor yo i think the game is fking imploding lol
was running a ToS and the obelisk keeps spitting ppl back out the moment we go in
so you go in
yeaha
and it pushes you back out
yup
bahaha
tried with multiple obs, killed one boss, reset dungeon and tried again with -1 on key
still same shit
wanted to help a guildy get keystone master
I did ToS 22 lastnight, first obelisk?
i mean i also did a few +15 runs of ToS today farming for a ring
never seen this shit
the first obs gets bugged out
and then the second one does the same shit
we reset the dungeon after we realized the second obs was fucked
tried again on lower key and the exact same thing happened again
we couldn't have aggroed twice in a row right

Mystlers Shadowlands Notes: http://tiny.cc/p8ljsz
@dire spoke I fixed the exsang track in non-jank code
it uses your even track trigger with 15 second untrigger
and then you do this for the condition
if you exsang a garrote, it'll never be longer than 12 seconds, but if you apply, it'll never be shorter than 18
so that condition will naturally color it properly

Other than the opener, is it a dps loss if you don't get a full garrote exsang?
I mean the opener is super easy to get it in there
just wondering if you mess up on another one if the loss is substantial
I'm not doing damage with assassin rogue :C
I was about to ask, do we bite
I don't bite too hard 
I don't know if i have logs tbh
But i'm 467 ilvl now & i'm still only doing 40K in m+
Where do i see my logs?
I have a raidbots account
& the addon
Warcraftlogs
You need to have someone in your party upload them or upload them yourself
I have learned to just stealth
& garotte everything
then put bleeds on everything
& tempest everything
You can log m+ too
Not to parse but to see if you're making rotational mistakes
spark of inspiration is also bad
should play with lucid instead
as a minor
getting a 3rd SS trait is also pretty big
and then make sure you're getting your 3 garrotes from stealth every pull
lucid?
those essences are so confusing
I have to make sure my azerite traits are right
essences are right
gear is right
stat priority is right
openening is right
bleeds keep applied
Bfa is so difficult to keep up with it's crazy.
Help what is this group
nah there's a rank 3
is the same unlock at 1 and 2 and 4
its just between 2 and 4
wowhead borken
hmm ok
yeah they all are
fuckkk
First I had to force myself through bgs to get blood of the enemy
now through nazjatar
it sucked, ngl
but at the time i needed flying anyway lol
also TIL if you kill mage boss in mage quarter before he teleports the portal doesn't spawn
:\
uh did you forget to cast rupture and fok?
????
The most scuffed route i've ever seen
@balmy condor would you dm me that 
ye I gotchu
what talents do I run for raid testing today 
Lol
I unironically went master poisoner for a couple pulls
cause I was allowed to aoe pump
it was surprisingly decent
okay but Im on beta
I have 25% mastery and everything else is lower on this blue gear toon
is 4x Strikethrough 3 better than 1x Infinite Stars 3?
m+
If youre talking about dungeons then most likely. Your IS could hit some 3% life target
fun question
does IS target explosives?

lol
and another 40k dps hunter

Mystlers Shadowlands Notes: http://tiny.cc/p8ljsz
did the devs forget about rogue in shadowlands or ?
oh boy this conversation
Yeah I'm looking at this now..we got no legendries to test, and no conduits right?
Every day 
we've got jack shit
Yep
😦 feelsbad
Knowing blizzard they'll most likely just go with instant poison for all 3 specs & call it a day

No rogue legendaries, no soulbinds
Blizz: look at this toad :-)

:-)
With us getting our stuff so late , we gotta pray it’s decent as there will be no time for tuning
don't worry, it's only beta!

exactly, I'm sure by 9.3.5 everything will be fine and they will have learnt a lot again
can't wait for the conduit vendor 
Any tips for getting a higher parse on drest/cara/nzoth?
Hei guys can you recommend me a build please, besides the exsang one, kinda tired of it, (progging nzothm)
@tall maple breath major on drest, focus on debuffed tentacles
cara is mostly about boss damage
n'zoth is unreliable af, especially when your grp does so much dmg the adds die too fast
in general, on n'zoth, you wanna have as high uptime as possible, which would ideally mean killing tentacles just as the next ones are about to spawn, so you can only parse if your other dps are pretty shit
Ahh Okay thanks @vast forum
@copper pier This is what I have at the moment. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sYNTctJFgpUxn24fHSoiTe. Might try exsang build since tentacles die fast.
Although the Exsang build seems to be the best option based on these logs https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/24#class=Rogue&spec=Assassination&boss=2344 (if you're brave enough to go beyond 39 corruption :)) )
thanks man
I'm a bit sad that they havent released rogue leggys in shadowlands yet :c
Hello, could you please tell me the best mode to sim with in raidbots.com
you mean the fight style ?
Yes
depends on what you want, dungeon slice for mythic+ dungeons, patchwerk 1 target for pure ST, patchwerk 2/6 for multi, etc
Thanks!
might aswell change the fight length
Thanks I will consider it while doing it!
i think druid leggos came out yesterday so could be soon
Hey guys, question - what covenant are we learning toward?
Are people still expecting any changes to the Rogue Covenant abilities? They seem kind of...off still
I dont expect anything tbh but rogue needs a lot of work
off? plain boring
Assassin feels so empty right now
Outlaw seems OP tuning wise but also feels boring lol
hmmm I feel like we havent lost much? since our azerite traits dont affect our gameplay much (exlcuding SS)
not looking forward to going back to Vigor, I enjoyed being able to run Deeper Strat with all this haste
Were exactly the same as nyalotha first week
With less abilities and no azerite traits
Oh and SND
Ill have to test more but I just did WA and stuff yesterday
Assassination without Azerite or Lucid is almost unbearably slow on beta right now lol
I rerolled to warlock
Yeah, I'm going to miss 70% idle haste
Its horseshit
Bone Spike is the only thing playable about Assassination atm
I'm considering Warrior, Arms looks like it's going to be fun
You guys are breaking my little heart rn 😦
Snd needs to go away from assa
I would feel fine about SnD if it had the energy regen component put back
Exactly
As it is now it’s just meh
Outlaw mostly plays the same as live and is pretty solid. Sub still quite unfinished and buggy feeling
SnD?
We still didn't get to see our legendaries, huh?
Nope
Who plays outlaw 
I mean if nothing changes probably everyone lol
Doubt unless they are required for a boss
Outlaw definitely feels the most complete atm. Gains a lot from SnD compared to the other two. RtB is less annoying.
Still waiting for the fabled Rogue Design pass though lol
Maybe we will have conduits and legendaries eventually haha
What is SnD?
slice and dice
Slice and Dice. Attack speed buff finisher
Oh right they made that baseline for all specs
Current live build is super fun. I don't miss needing to run Vigor
Move alacrity in final row instead of hb, give us a new talent to compete with exsan
any ideas to switch to if Rogue will feel sht?
depending on which class seems to be strong rn?
Beta has only been out a week. Hopefully we'll receive a tuning pass when they release out legendaries and soulbinds
😄 Right
Question, i caught up from legion this week but im still short 400+ ilvl daggers and rings. Until i get the BiS, what can i get in the meantime
@strange python if the picture was for me, I didn't ask which Rogue Spec to switch to 😄
please be a little more precise with your reading skills 😗
I asked for empirical answer 🙂
But thanks for trying, I guess 
ain't nobody can outmatch Whispyr's helpfulness
only people with beta can answer your question though?
And tuning will probably happen
so who knows which classes looks strong rn
i assume many people have beta already here 😄
one person said that he/she would switch to Warlock because Rogue seems slow, i was wondering about what other's would do
forget it , i guess it was a stupid question 😄
Every class is gonna be slow. New exp, no haste
if u want an overview watch some videos or smth so u can see how classes look I guess?
Or could someone point me to a resource where i could find useful/relevant daggers? i only know of the BiS that are posted
TD, TOS
Use droptimizer on Raidbots
i need just 400+ ilvl daggers and rings
then every dagger
if you're concerned by stats on 400ilvl stuff, dont be
run normal dungeons, then heroic dungeons, then mythic dungeons
and world quests
and lfr
Good point! Ty all

Should I avoid the exsanguinate build if I have low haste
I would, yeah
Yeah, it isn’t until around 60% that Exsanguinate becomes a strong option
any1 streaming raidtesting later today?
beta servers are laggy af atm
#rogue-streamers is a good place to look, i might stream it if the servers don't just crash
i think Moofzy is idk what he plays tho
@vast forum ty
world server down atm on beta zzzz
its up, loads of ppl are playing
i mean
i DCed and i tried to log in and it said world server is down
it might be login servers then
What do you guys switch up when going M+?
depends on dungeon
Regarding the azerite traits, i know the 3 ss 3 eb
i usually only change the number of ppl in the grp
In a dungeon where there are a lot of aoe stuff
whats people opinions on Crit v Haste assa builds for m+?
seems like most run crit at higher keys over haste?
i got full haste build atm, but im just tryna work out if its worth getting all the crit on wed
as i have x9 strikethrough
for outlaw
it depends on dungeon and your group
if you have 2 aoe blasters in the group, going single target is usually better
think its generally overall dmaghe we need rn
for example, i play with BM hunter and fire mage and i always, in every key go for full haste expedient build
but if you want the most overall damage, you'll likely find the most success with 3ss/3eb crit>mastery=vers>haste build
some dungeons have more of an "aoe" or "cleave" damage profile. haste 3xSS is great for "cleave". crit 3xEB is great for "aoe"
normally our group is disc prriest, blood dk assa rogue hunter + something else
Mages with wildfire are also good buffing you crit during combust
tbh, even in dungeons with a lot of AoE, if you have a bm hunter and a mage, your job isn't to steal their pad
it's to make bosses go fast af so the group can go back to huge pulls faster
hmmmm
there is no single right answer
3ss 3eb will do more damage, but might not make the dungeon go faster
or safer
and DEFINITELY don't run 3eb in workshop/KR
like i find i do decent over all
but im always like 10-20k overall dps behind the others
that happens, theres no way you can beat a bm hunter
i do 24s and 25s in raid setup
Is there a place i can go see sims and peoples setups?
and yea, if you ever beat a bm hunter on overall dps, your hunter is probably bad
u should beat them on bosses
hello need help on simming my rogue
i generally do beat them on bossses
wanna go exang build but dont know what essences i should use or i got enough haste vor crimson temp
In my case when im runing exsanguinate haste in mythic+ im almost always 1st at bosses, depends on the fight, and if you gotta move a lot
but depends on lenght of fight
i normally drop off and come back when vendetta is back
Im running 2 mechagon workshop rings, since im not lucky with the junkyard one
They give like 10% haste if you are full exp
think im running 66% haste rn
IS it worth droping one for the JY with haste buff? I feel like im losing to much haste doing that..
you're only gaining haste with that
or, well, not gaining
but losing MUCH less than the added crit value
so i should get 475 pieces with main stat haste & crit/mastery like what drops for me right?
this are my unbuffed stats right now
use pins for general info, sim urself and run whats better
can't just make arbitrary decisions on haste %s
should i get 9x exp III?
or i dont know what to buy, got now 4x exp III and 2x twisted apend II
i think getting upto 72% haste is generally beneficial?
just read thru the first pin, answers 90% of ur questions
@fleet anchor sub is pumping on beta, we dont need anything 😄
lol
Until they are like "whoops FW lasts too long, let's change it back down to 4s" 🤣
doubt considering they're not even touching us
xD
like 3T funnel is insane with the spikes and everything
Well yeah
Bone Spikes is totally busted atm
For 3T basically just use Bone Spikes and auto-attack and you'll do like 90% of the same damage as if you actually do a rotation 🤣
Sorry, can someone tell me how Echoing Blades work so I can understand too?
the "For each of the first 5 critical strikes, it will ..."
This part
but only 5 times?
On a single cast
oh, so on 5 different targets?
So if you FoK and it crits on 5 targets, you get 5 EB AoEs
If it crits on 3 targets, you get 3
If it crits on 10 you get 5 😄
But obviously the more targets, the more likely you are to have 5 crits
even with haste stack?
If you wanna optimize for full AoE with 3eb, severe and strikethrough with high Crit is obviously better
isn't that just a lag thing that makes that possible
That's what i thought but checked after and had 23 ms
Is the SS build better on N'Zoth or the second one with VoP?
Yea maybe the server was just lagging a bit at the time which allowed me to get the 4 out
I mean, garrote 1 is at t=0, garrote 2 at t=1, garrote 3 at t=2, garrote 4 at t=3 seconds, it's theoretically possible if you had actually zero latency between spells, and with spell queuing that should be possible
it happened 1 more time in that run
the only way to get 4 globals in subterfuge is to make 1 of them vendetta, because that's the only global that's hasted
@loud light that's not how it works 🙂
It happened on packs back to back so yea maybe my ms was showing 23 but in reality the instance was a bit laggy or something, never seen it before tho
what covenant are people trying out?
I mean, necro seems like the only non shit one atm until they actually release anything for us to look at and test...
Unless you like useless ability, targetting exact cp with rng cp generators, or vanishing a lot
kyrian doesnt seem to bad as we have a guaranteed 1cp generator
necro is op
at least in terms of usability
kyrian just seems like the only interesting one to me
i've always wanted some incentive to not finish at max CP but to actually think about your CP from time to time
although it is likely just bad atm
Thing is if we get lots of energy like we do now, wasting gcds to get a double finusher just feels really meh
Might be good early on idk
Yeah but systemsland is probably going to add a good amount of power creep as they tend to do
currently none of that looks aimed at raw stat gain
so it would have to be some later system they introduce
i think it's clunky and stupid, probalby won't play kyrian even if it's bis
different strokes for different folks
i don't mind clunky if it adds flavour and skill
DFA was clunky and it was the best time i've had playing this game in 15 years
Hey is it ok if i like ask questions about like what i should take etc
@oblique smelt it's more likely you carried over the speed increase from cathedral
If any of the g-g-g global's are affected by that buff you can get a 4th out
ask whatever questions you want as long as it's relevant to the spec
anyone very experienced in the bleed build got a few minutes to chat?
alright well I looked at all my pieces and i seen like i have 3 double dose and 2 shrouded and 1 nothing personal 3 lying but there all 465
instead of some of my pieces being 480
and i also have overwhelming power 3
That sounds like a lead up to a question that will be answered with simyoself
Not to cut you off
But yeah generally, if you're looking to optimize damage between things simming will give a better answer to your specific set up than a generic response would
When in doubt sim it out
my sims do some pretty cringe stuff sometimes
like telling me to run ineffable on outlaw
Ineffable is good on outlaw tho :^(
Cheap af, compounds with restless blades, more blade flurry and utility usage it's just good.
seems overkill given how low CDs already are lol. Granted it only tells me to take it when I do like, high high corrupt
fr? hm maybe not so cringe
I lied I thought it was pinned but it's not. Ineffable isnt terrible though at all
Especially in keys
Well probably specifically in keys but whatever not the place for it
Ye my b
Fuck offfff
Gz
Still waiting for my 2nd one
I got 6 or 5 dry Bonus rolls stacked now, so the next one should be loot
Gonna pray on wednesday
i have 3 atm, hoping for 6 by the end of the expansion 😄
Is that m?
trade me dude
LOL I wish. My guild stopped raiding at 3/12 :smh:
where is whisp
heya guys need some advice, i'm still gearing for assa spec, should i really corrup boots haste/mastery or just wait till i get better haste/crit gear oevrall ? really need advices plz : https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ova4oAGmnLAkevKjpKsGyV
those boots are fine
You should get rid of the force multi, that’s not great
Corrupting 475 is generally always a good idea, as long as they have haste on them
Haste/mast is fine, haste/crit is fine, even haste/vers on a piece or two is fine
@dire spoke whats good I’m just catching up on chat
jealous of those hands
your WA confuses me, or does it not display exsa on dummies
@steel ridge @balmy condor thnx guys, but yeah when i see this sim i only get +98 dps 😒 so i don't know ! what should i really change ? i'm still farming for haste corruptions
@balmy condor oh okay so what should i use other than force multi ?
i cannot tell what your current boots are like
@clever stream idk if someone chatted with you, but I chat quite a bit :P
@naive lynx I gotchu with the m+ crit sim if you give me a couple minutes
@lyric grail our ideal corrupts are 7x exped3, 1x exped2, and a HM3/RP3. We’re getting pretty close to that, so I would start planning for that
@pure spoke @spice spire Just a quick note on the exsang at low haste, exsang actually comes into the sims pretty quickly if you have the right azerite, and I’ve seen people run exsang with as low at 25%. If you got the azerite and 1-2 exped, it’s actually very doable
+12% haste should be more than just 98 dps
You should probably use deadly nav
@dire spoke you sure?
Hit it with a non-empowered in combat garrote
Should be white
Then hit exsang
Should turn orange
I think you might be confused because I don’t distinguish between subterfuge and exsang garrotes
They’re both “empowered” in my head, so the color is identical
You should be able to switch the color on I think it’s condition 5, whichever has the trigger
And that’ll give you a contrast between subt and exsang
Really? I’m just now at a point where it’s a +250 over TB at 52% haste
There is our savior
@balmy condor emp is the same that's why yeah

I need to sim with SS over double dose on a piece though 
If you have ridiculous TB/poison azerite and not ridiculous SS/exsang azerite
You’ll be in pain to get exsang up there
Poison is in no way bad
@steel ridge look at the sim i'm only simming +98 compared to what i'm wearing currently
I’ve seen with about equal azerite, 30-35% is very commonly where exsang takes over
Yeah I have TtK 1, Double Dose x2, SS x 1
When you’re up in the 60% range, you start to see lucid minor dropping and CT over PB
Like that’s the stuff that you actually need haste for
Good to know, thanks!
Anytime :)
I'm waiting for my order, sir
I just got out of bed xD
I'm just joking, take your time
Oof
Sounds like you wiped because you didn’t do enough damage man
If you would’ve done more, the boss would’ve died

Tilt lmao
Guys when would we take clf over bote for raids as major?
on shorter fights that aren't between 2:40 and 3:10 or if you want to be a cool cat
Okay ty 😂
feelsgood to be the 1 token rogue in the raid
What minor do you take with clf?
blood
Iris/breath/blood ?
yeah
Ty
rogue best



https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YyQRq7XLr36A8Z2k/#fight=22&type=damage-done this just happened
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/YyQRq7XLr36A8Z2k/#fight=last i actually did it
so how do i sim 2 different corruptions on same item?
for ex EXP 3 and Gushing on 485
6 wipes 
Hey guys I am running the expedient crimson tempest build, but I seem to be doing rly bad on Drest agath and hivemind, any pointers i could follow on?
too many trials @quasi pewter 😦
@crimson palm how does ur sim looks nowadays jc what corruptions you using
rip shadhar allstars
What happened?
someone procced 9 tentacles in 3 min
oh ye the r1 rogue 8)
ups, sorry 2 min 30
that kind of rng is good for the game!
Anyone know why a socket has such a high difference in these 2 sims? I know aoe sims are not perfect but even this seems extreme:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7iRo5ANcgmdvwvjE1Mr5Y7
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/m4nhpWc7Hi58SFtbEgT8M6
In the first link, the dagger being compared has no gem but also has no weapon enchant
Is it normal for Subterfuge + TB on ST sim higher than the usual builds. No SS either
yes
so would that setup want more haste or crit?
whatever sims better
yoppa do you raid test?
Anyone played around with slaughter? Bone spike just sounds straight up better
ya it seemed that way from the tooltip. Slaughter has potential, but it would depend on the scaling
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/g8LAKrBTbdW4VqkF/#fight=5&type=damage-done&source=9 bone spike legit broken
This makes me sad:
Bone Spike is definitely carrying us atm
Although to be fair, a bunch of other specs have similar or even stronger Covenant abilities so
Who knows what their target budget is for them
Ya, I mean they have to be impactful so that the choice feels like it matters.
But being the main damage over the actual class abilities is probably overtuned
This was across our 21 pulls or so
Obviously with deaths and stuff
Mystler cheated and never got picked for a single beam mechanic

So sub is actually doing well?
mystler cheats
did any assassin rogue test blindside on the boss?
blindside still trash
I was running Blindside
hard to compare specs when most of the dmg is done by bone spike
It's pretty good, I don't actually think it's trash at low gear levels
koji can you link?
it really should be baseline
really? I was hearing blindside still sucks
EP on any talent row basically means it's a dead row
pretty sick that its going good
The energy is pretty strong when we have normally like 8s of pooling time at low energy
Energy regen right now is pathetic
even if blindside is good early SL is gonna be outshined eventually
probably 32 apm without blindside
Quite possible yeah
with blindside maybe like 38 idk
I ran EP on the first boss but it was so laggy
It's really hard to say
My uptime on EP on our best pull on the first boss which happened to not be so terrible lag
Was only around 48%
cant wait for assa to go back to a somewhat strategical pooling shizzle
i don't think 32 apm is really ideal though
than just mashing shit off gcd like rn with zero fucks given about energy cuz ur never out of it
So EP at 48% vs. Blindside is probably.. not that different
there is a middle ground you can hit
like 40-45 apm is ideal for assassin
as in, assa felt decent in ep
right now energy might as well not exist
like, its somewhat funny that you have 1235155haste and can spam
but you allready notice in m+ when you dont have that anymore that you get used too endless energy and start doing stupid stuff
But anyway
It's close enough that we'll have to sim it out
I don't think EP is a slam dunk quite at the moment
i might have to run sub early SL
But yeah the selection for the mechanic seemed kinda biased
Half the raid only got it when everyone was dead like 1-2 times
Other half of the raid got it 9-12 times
I was in the 9-12 half lol
There's also always gonna be more inherent error in blindside anyway. Sim will generally assume you use every proc perfectly...which most people will not.
as long as we dont have to outlaw in raid 
I don't think its that hard to use
You just replace your next Mutilate with Ambush
Ya but if you get a second proc etc then you lose dps
I just alt-macro'd it to the same button
you wouldn't mut if you have the proc up
There's no way we're playing spammy/fast enough for it to be an issue imo
Ya just saying it is a small way the sim will overvalue it
blindside isn't going to some complex talent
you will handle blindside procs just like you handle mutilate
sooooo....how is it going too be complex lol
3 or less cp->mut or the blindside proc, 4 or 5 finisher
its really not that hard 
I am not saying it is hard, just that it has more potential for human error than EP uptime. Would messing up a proc even change the dps that much? probably not, so probably a moot point anyway
like,ye how koji said, you can actually just macro it with mutilate
you probably aren't going to have enough energy to press back to back mutilates
wasnt there a trick with shroud on the last boss of temple`?
oh another you can do with a blindside proc
4 cps with proc up, but garrote off cd and duration running low
garrote to 5, finisher, ambush proc
but still no different than using a mutilate
I don't really think there is any more error in overvaluing it
In fact, SimC actually accounts for delayed reaction on procs
By implementing a gauss delay on "react" flag procs
Equal to stddev of world latency
sounds like nerd shit 
So it does not presume you know about procs instantly that are flagged as requiring reaction
Ya that's fair, I was more getting at the eventuality of say, getting involved in a mechanic and accidentally overwriting a proc with another proc, etc....Like actually rotational errors. But Like I posited earlier, 1 or 2 wasted procs probably doesnt change the overall dps much anyway.
Overall it's hard to say where we sit because Bone Spike is kinda OP right now
Then again we didn't have legendaries
So how the damage will shake out is anybody's guess
My only complaint is that when I wasn't playing Blindside, the pace of Assassination was so miserably slow it was hard to really feel good about it
renamed for now
Ahhh thanks for this @warm parcel
does anyone here know i can enter torghast
Just woke up did rogues get something on beta?
not really
outlaw usually the go-to

Wuts up rogue fam, i could use some wisdom. really need help. just put this together with what i have. Can anyone recommend me a good Weak Aura to use with this build? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bH3QaY3s4zknL1ooHbVGZB

why are we simming for 90 seconds?
90 seconds isn't very realistic imo
What's the best time?
completely depends on your raid
I'm looking for a raid atm. i'm not in a raiding guild. i'm trying to get in one.
I wouldn't really go under 3 unless you super know what you're doing
I don't want to make a mistake XD
I try to leave the suck at the login screen
But shit happens. sometimes its unavoidable
thats what we all try to do :)
practice on the bosses is honestly the biggest thing
How close to the sim is your actual gear?
I just want to try my hardest to put this rogue above all the others dmg wise. the same thing we all want to do
yeah I mean you're on your way
been playing this build for about 40 minutes on the dummy trying to get the opener correct and the flow of not letting dots drop
yes

navi's openers are 9000 iq
i wrote it down from the guide. garrote rup garrote trinket / vend mut ct mut mut rup exang bote
The pinned ruski guide has a good opener diagram
you only do the mut CT if you land on 5 after the mut
you only ct if you land on 5 cp
Mechagon rings 
didn't know gale callers was more dmg. i just hope i get to stand still ><
It's great for snapshotting exang
yeah you don't have to stand in it for full effect
as long as you stand in it while you hit exsang
Macro it with vendetta?
Galecaller has a 1 minute cd, just gotta remember to press it
do i use exang on cd? or do i want to line it up with vend / trinket?
I sometimes have to wait for exang when i do legendary openers 
going to practice on them dummies for the next couple hours. thanks yall
really appreciate it the help <3<3<3<3
anytime :) feel free to send me questions
allways tabbing into the wrong window to write 
Any tips on which keys i could use for keybinds
other then q and e
r, g, f
` next to the one button
Guess i need to look at all the keybinds and change everything up
Are you using the normal a and d settings or are you using the strive thingy on them
`, q, e, r, t, f, g, z, x, c, v and any extra mouse buttons are good imo
i guess the ` is next to the 1 for you guys?
yes
unbridled fury pots still good? what's the other pot?
that's my push to talk button oof
going to guess haste food as well?
yeah
That's what i have auto run on ^^
i allways use it xD
But i'll try to change up keybinds to the stuff you guys suggested maybe i'll stop pressing wrong stuff then

After the first empowered garrote wears off, vanish and reapply it? and continue on?
yeah
yeah vanish garrote
try to have combo points going in so you can garr -> finisher -> garr again
Well that anwsered my question i just wanted to ask ty ^^
just don't override the rupture, it'll still be going
ye
sometimes I'll let the garrote drop for a global so I can mut
into vanish gar env gar
welp there's 3s on that garrote and i have zero CPs, fml
you fire off an envenom and then get 4 cp on the next mut
and you're like
god damnit
Feels so weird
3 mutilates is definitely awkward
at least we have the haste now
Atleast i can hit 34% crit whenever i want 
i have 31 lol
34% crit and the opener IQ even simulationcraft can't understand 
feels real low sometimes
he's unstoppable
i have 32 with the hands i'm using, when i need to drop some corruption i hit 34 crit with the ones that aren't corrupted
my vers is mega low so sims want me running wrathion pants + hivemind gloves
also no conflict because i'm lazy
i have 2% vers because of HoD 
it'll probably want me to swap gloves in a bit, wanted to get the socket on the new 475 plumage first
I'll need to get the mechagon rings 
Guess that will never happen
more farm
I can only run so much m+ before i just wanna uninstall wow 
I'm so bored running the same dungone over and over again
Didn't like m+ when it came out and still don't like it

I like raids 
I'm only clearing the raid once a week
not doing the same raid 5 times a day
raids have friends, pugging sucks
I run my keys with friends
