dense jolt

you can pre cloak anguish

gleaming viper
#

the thing i wnat to know ,is if i pre-cos anguish , i dont get affected by it

#

oh ty garfielf

dense jolt
#

if you soak thought harvesters with cloak in mythic and anguish comes right after it lines up so you ignore it

gleaming viper
#

nice !

#

tyvm

strange python
#

just make sure its late enough into their cast

normal olive
#

Progress wiping on xanesh

vital haven
#

got a 475 plummage

#

when i alreayd had a 475 plummage

balmy condor
#

Double on use pog

rocky holly
#

1 plummage for AoE and 1 for ST peepohappy

#

you're set

balmy condor
#

Nairda just doubled plumage uptime for free

#

Seems like a win to me

vital haven
#

rank 1 here we come

strange python
#

i'll take a 475 plumage today :x

#

Or a mech ring so I only need to farm one

unborn pendant
#

Vers sims higher than any of my other stats and Haste sims lower than any of my other stats

#

God this is wonky

balmy condor
#

don't use stat weights

#

and you wouldn't have to worry about stupid shit like that

#

:)

granite tinsel
#

Hey I have a question. So my rogue has literally 1% vers and I'm simming around 60k dps but I really only have about a 20 second window where im pulling 80k before I drop down to like 45k sustained. Is it worth me trying to get some vers if my SIM still tells me to get more haste and barely prioritizes vers over crit and mastery?

dense blaze
#

Vers bad

balmy condor
#

just use top gear

#

stat weights don't give you any information you will need

#

internalize this blog post

granite tinsel
#

Ive read that and I don't. I'm more just curious if its viable to continue to go for zero vers or if getting some would increase my dmg some

#

And if vers is bad why is plumage sought so much?

balmy condor
#

because its bursty

#

there's nothing wrong with vers in theory

#

but 90% of the time, you'll see bigger gains from other stats

#

plumage just front loads a ton of vers instantly

#

and for exsang

#

that's pretty hype

#

you can think of plumage single target as basically a 12% damage buff

granite tinsel
#

Ok word. I dont really run exsang. Mainly toxic blade. :p

balmy condor
#

I mean, similar concept, smaller scale

#

cause tb is more consistent

#

less bursty

granite tinsel
#

Cool thank you. Youve been super informative. blob_hype

balmy condor
#

:) I try

vital haven
#

MAKE WHISPYR A MOD OR SOMETHING

balmy condor
#

I don't say enough correct info for that

lean marten
#

thats just how they sucker ppl into staying rogue

strange python
#

Whispyr is like an unofficial mod

#

He is the rogue whisperer

balmy condor
#

wrong discord

strange python
#

same thing

balmy condor
#

kekw u rite

#

its a rogue discord all the same

#

just with 2,500 members, not 75,000

#

its fine tho, 90% chance I go sub unless sin lego's poppin

#

fuu and scathic got that channel on lock

lean marten
#

u could be the #1 feral TC tho

balmy condor
#

druid has theorycrafters?

#

tettles went hunter this patch

#

I'm actually unsure who they have over there

lean marten
#

prolly gapezilla

#

idk who else

ebon ocean
#

would be nice if blizz actually released the info for rogues ASpepega

#

kinda really annoying to have 0 info when the expac is supposedly out of beta and 'feature complete'

#

legendaries that is

median badge
#

if only haste D:

balmy condor
#

unlucky

strange python
#

can't wait to get home and be disappointed by chest

granite tinsel
#

Hey so id I wanted to buy some corruptions what besides expediant is worth while. I know twilight is aoe infinite is st but if I'm just looking for one of these so I dont have to swap between gear which would be better. I feel like td

balmy condor
#

if you don't want to swap between gear sets, you can either do the crit path or the haste path

#

haste will do better in raid, and worse in some dungeons

#

crit will do better in dungeons and worse in raid

#

IS is kinda trash outside of like 3 bosses

#

TD works, but its not really ideal

granite tinsel
#

I think im already on my way for the haste path. So just stack as many r3 expediant

#

No gushing?

balmy condor
#

gushing isn't corruption heavy enough

granite tinsel
#

Gotcha

#

Ty

strange python
#

My galecaller sims slightly better than plumage

balmy condor
#

as expected

strange python
#

should i be a real gamer and use it?

#

idk how to use it

balmy condor
#

you use it the same way you would plumage

#

just stand in the circle

#

and cast it every minute

#

as long as you hit exsang while standing in the circle every 2 min

#

its gonna be good

untold current
#

With GCB, do you cast before Vendetta?

strange python
#

should i use it when 2nd exs gets off cd and vendetta is like 1min for cd?

balmy condor
#

GCB anywhere as long as its before exsang

#

and no

#

you cast the exsang

#

and then the gcb alone

#

if you delay exsang, you delay all your cds

#

or you miss a cast

#

and that's big not good

untold current
#

so basically, g,r,g,ven,mut,rup,GCB, exsang

balmy condor
#

sure

#

that's fine

#

I have it macro'd with vendetta personally cause hitting 2 buttons in the opener at the same time feels weird to me

#

but it'll make basically no difference either way

untold current
#

oh wait

#

you said, cast before or after exsang

balmy condor
#

before

#

exsang snapshots haste

#

if you cast after exsang

#

the trinket actually does nothing

untold current
#

got it

balmy condor
#

well

#

it would buff your CT

#

and your poisons I guess

#

but that's as good as doing nothing

untold current
#

ya for sure

rigid eagle
#

or you can be a big brain and run WV major with ur GCB

#

leech shards from nearby fire mages

balmy condor
#

we get it

#

you're cursed

rigid eagle
untold current
#

GCB is a 1m cd, so if I recall from uldir

granite tinsel
#

hey so how much mastery is like a good amount of mastery?

untold current
#

delay 2nd exsang to line with gcb?

balmy condor
#

no

granite tinsel
#

i'm sitting at like 29% right now

balmy condor
#

reread that

untold current
#

ok

balmy condor
#

we don't have mastery breakpoints or anything

#

whatever works tbh

#

if it sims higher, it sims higher

rigid eagle
#

yo actually tho, would having a bunch of 1 min cd procs make it worth delaying exsang

#

like WV + GCB + 2x clockwork heart

#

never right

crimson palm
#

vita + op + clockwork proc on opener

#

mages can eat shit kekchamp

balmy condor
#

@rigid eagle we can find out

#

I think the APL doesn't support that

#

but we'll see

arctic walrus
#

"we"

#

just @ him already

untold current
#

Where would u cast the 2nd gcb. Its on a 1min cd

balmy condor
#

:( I want to sim though vel

#

you cast on cd

rigid eagle
#

how exactly do we even sim for that man

balmy condor
#

wdym

#

we gear compare the pieces in

#

and then quick sim and see if koji's APL is huge brain

#

and if not, then I'm too lazy to write the APL line to compare the two

#

and probably will quit

rigid eagle
#

peepochristokie that sounds complicated

balmy condor
#

I already finished

#

it doesn't do it

#

exsang at 55 just like normal

rigid eagle
#

ahh i see

#

thx lol

balmy condor
#

but to be fair

#

I don't think koji optimized that specific combination

#

cause that's testing that isn't worth his time

strange python
#

whispyr my quick sim just told me to CLF pre-pull

#

yay or nay

lean marten
#

lazy volunteers smh

balmy condor
#

if you're a god gamer

#

sure

arctic walrus
#

marginal difference

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I don't think its worth

#

but its technically better

#

so if you're really hunting for another 100dps

#

go for it

strange python
#

i must deeps

#

so it's just what, CLF like 2 sec before pull, stealth, pre-pot, then normal opener?

#

Doesn't seem too bad to pull off

#

If people actually pull on time

balmy condor
#

well, ideally you would do CLF as close to pull as possible while still stealthing

#

but yeah

#

that's generally the idea

strange python
#

too complicated

#

i give up already

balmy condor
#

oh and if they pull slightly early its fucked

#

so

#

thats a huge dps loss lmao

strange python
#

yeah im just gonna ignore it

balmy condor
#

you'll need to do a navi opener and vanish

#

kinda doomed

rigid eagle
#

oh btw, what does the plumage macro look like? does it need a castsequence part?

strange python
#

i dont think so

balmy condor
#
#showtooltip
/cast Vendetta
/use 14
#

that's for bottom slot

strange python
#

you can even slap in your racial if you have one

balmy condor
#

use 13 for top slot

rigid eagle
#

pog i see

balmy condor
#

I use that for GCB as well

spice spire
#

Did somebody say opener monkascheme

normal olive
spice spire
#

Filling in for Navi btw

#

Oh shit

strange python
#

@normal olive give me your bestest opener

normal olive
#

Got no new ones

#

can look at my logs in a few minutes

#

last vex try atm

#

Got that sweet floor pov

#

time to look at 30 Xanesh wipes peperogue

strange python
#

only 30?

normal olive
#

yeah

#

Okay most of these openers don't count

strange python
#

why is everyone talking about navis openers? did he burst like 450k and the highest in here

normal olive
#

we pulled like 15 while we had no cd's up

strange python
#

or what did i miss

normal olive
balmy condor
#

navi's openers are cursed

normal olive
#

This is peak dmg

strange python
#

ill never ask again

normal olive
#

Shadhar had no idea what was coming for him

strange python
#

how do you even come up with that shit

normal olive
#

I'm smart

strange python
#

do you have a stroke

normal olive
strange python
#

and idk faint on your keyboard?

normal olive
#

oh you didn't see my stroke openers did you?

balmy condor
#

it started off by torturing me with actual scuffed openers

#

and now he just theorycrafts the most efficient way to cause me pain

normal olive
#

This one is legit

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that one I remember

#

that was the one that started this whole mess

normal olive
#

I'm sorry to dissapoint but i can't find scuffed openers today

#

oh

#

i found one

balmy condor
#

that's okay

#

you don't have to share

harsh sphinx
normal olive
strange python
#

are you trying to be replaced

normal olive
#

We didn't wait for cd's

strange python
#

and just see how long you can keep this up

normal olive
#

we rezzed and instantly pull 20'd it

strange python
#

and you didnt yell that your cds arent ready?

normal olive
#

like 50% of the time i had to somehow scuff vendetta and Vanish

#

50% of the time noone had cd's xD

#

the problem was football

strange python
#

oh god

#

i forgot you said xanesh

normal olive
#

30 wipes to goofball kekw

strange python
normal olive
#

but got vex to 30% on our 4 pull

#

tomorrow we gonna kill her peperogue

normal olive
#

How do you open on vex btw, no idea what would be idea

balmy condor
#

gar gar gar

strange python
#

idk i put 1 on add and 2 on vex

#

then i switch my brain off

lean marten
#

vex, add, vex

strange python
#

and its dead

normal olive
#

I justs did my standard ST opener on vex the other tries because we had enough add dmg

#

Should i have tried to get another 6cp rupture in before exsang or just use it after the first one? That's the thing i'm not sure about

lone junco
#

@normal olive eww

normal olive
#

what peepostudy

lone junco
#

sry, im probably hours behind.

#

the exang vanish garrote.

normal olive
#

yeah that's an old one

#

my old stroke during pull openers

lone junco
#

I had a bad one in legion. where Garrote had a cd.

#

and I refreshed right before the vanish. and had to sit in time out. chilling in stealth.

balmy condor
#

I would hit the add with a rupture after the single target opener on vex

strange python
#

hey im doing that quite a lot

lone junco
#

vanish into ... shit i dont have garrote. damn.

strange python
#

very awkward

balmy condor
#

I think we all do that lmao

normal olive
#

I don't really have energy problems and the add dies fast enough should i still rupture the add

glacial crypt
#

navi i love you

normal olive
balmy condor
#

feels simp

normal olive
#

tomorrow i might get 8/12 peperogue

balmy condor
normal olive
#

but i will not get any mythic gear because we save the id pepehands

quaint vortex
#

what do you mean by that?

#

if you are doing a reclear but are maintaining a lockout extension in case things go bad, it's saved on someone's alt character

#

you're doing a fresh run and then someone would be saving the lockout on an alt in case you guys don't reclear up to where you need to

strange python
#

really?

dull crypt
#

On mythic its a unique lockout though, you can't use other id's

balmy condor
#

why would you do a fresh run AND maintain a lockout

dull crypt
#

If you're saved to another

balmy condor
#

yeah that too

strange python
#

so you have a save lock the next week

#

if you fuck up even more somehow

balmy condor
#

uh huh...

strange python
#

biggest brain i know

quaint vortex
#

yeah, it's mainly for guilds that are working on cara/nzoth and want a reclear for some gear or morale

#

so someone saves the Nzoth lockout on their alt, you go do a fresh run and ideally clear back up to that point - but if you don't, you still have a lockout at the boss available

balmy condor
#

Wouldn’t that lock everyone out tho

strange python
#

you can save and extend lockouts on single chars

quaint vortex
#

yeah, that would only happen if every person chose to extend their lockout for some reason

#

One person choosing to extend the lockout ID only applies to that one person

balmy condor
#

Aha

#

I rarely extend

normal olive
#

Well we extend because people don't want to reclear everything even tho people need gear

loud light
#

That 100% doesn't work on mythic, if you're talking about it all happening within the same week

#

everyone present for the reclear would be saved to the new raid ID

solar latch
#

hey should I put honed mind rank 3 on a 465 or 475

#

not sure if it scales

balmy condor
#

Pretty sure it doesn’t scale

young dust
#

hey guys, is there a minimum/optimal/maximum crit% to aim for when running 2x/3x EB?

balmy condor
#

55-60%

#

But it’s very hand-wavy

warm olive
#

since when do azerite items drop from vision chest? i have never seen it in countless vision runs, neither has anyone i know

loud light
#

they always have been able to if you're getting a reward of the right ilvl

young dust
#

thanks whispyr!!

loud light
#

470 can't be azerite though

warm olive
#

it was a 460, so that must have been my 3rd vision this week?

#

could be about right, strange ...

eternal furnace
#

Is hidden blades ever worth taking over CT in mythics?

balmy condor
#

No

young dust
#

never seen it personally

balmy condor
#

Hidden blades has 1 use and that’s for some weird half-ass hivemind cheese

#

Outside of that, it’s pretty hot garbage

fading wigeon
#

How do you use it to cheese?

balmy condor
#

Well if you, like a lot of other groups, blow up adds instantly

#

You can bote into a huge ass fok

#

Hitting 3 darters and both bosses at the same time can get kinda saucy

#

But nowadays just not worth it

#

Hidden blades is just dogshit

#

CT is better with haste, more consistent, does more damage

#

Poison bomb is rng but does more damage in most situations

rigid eagle
#

it's like dreadlord's deceit, except not good

eternal furnace
#

What about iris major for fortified weeks over bote?

balmy condor
eternal furnace
#

😂

balmy condor
#

Bote3 > iris3 in aoe

loud light
#

bote interacts very well with echoing blades

eternal furnace
#

Aight ty 🙂

#

I tried outlaw in mythic earlier and wanted to cry

rigid eagle
#

@eternal furnace demon hunters only take iris because they press eyebeam and instantly spike to 500k haste

#

so they finish the entire iris cast in a microsecond

balmy condor
#

Yeah

rigid eagle
#

we cant do that

eternal furnace
#

I see

loud light
#

I mean, iris does more damage than bote unless you have some crit-based mechanic like echoing blades

#

for pure aoe

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

I think that’s questionable as well

#

You’re still getting crit damage and crit rate

#

Iris crushes in raw damage

#

But I don’t think it’s as easy as “iris damage good bote damage bad”

#

CT pumps and so does subt garrotes

#

Iris is just not worth if you have bote3

hallow coyote
#

My Iris is rank 4 and really pretty, but I haven't felt like grinding out another 70K honor for BotE r 4

#

Rank 4 meme beam looks great, truly a powerful argument for its use

balmy condor
#

If only pretty visuals did damage

#

Subtlety would be crushing

strange python
#

AFTER AN 20HOURS GRIND STARTED FROM 4K HONOR

#

I finally did it today

#

blood of the enemy Rank .3

#

😭

balmy condor
#

:) congratz

strange python
#

Yesterday from 9pm to 4pm and today from 11am to 12:30pm

#

26k honor

#

dayum i have no life

#

so can someone explain to me why you'd pick crimson tempest over poison bomb? i feel like its the most torn between people, and is it really just personal preference? or is there a reason you would go one over the other?

umbral rapids
#

gz !

strange python
#

you take CT if you have enough haste

umbral rapids
#

It does more damage at some point

#

That’s it...

strange python
#

that you can keep that other dot up

balmy condor
#

CT is more damage in m+

#

And in single target it scales with haste and poison bomb doesn’t

#

So there’s that

strange python
#

ive found its hard for me to keep it up, especially when you need to refresh garrote and rupture

balmy condor
#

Needs more practice then

strange python
#

while trying to get envenoms in

balmy condor
#

It takes priority over envenom

#

Shouldnt be difficult to keep up though

strange python
#

let me try it again...considering i tried it back a while ago so...its been a few iLVLs

balmy condor
#

I mean, the question is exped/haste

#

Not direct iLvL

strange python
#

😐

#

not a fan

balmy condor
#

Decent m+ ring

#

Would need to purify obviously

strange python
#

hmm...im maintaining like 40k while keeping all bleeds up

balmy condor
#

That’s pretty yikes

strange python
#

with 420 ilvl?

#

yeah

#

uh...

balmy condor
#

CT is for high haste levels

#

If you’re sustaining 40k, you’re either playing very wrong

#

Or you’re undergeared

#

How much haste do you have?

strange python
#

28%

balmy condor
#

Oh yeah

#

Double that

#

And you can maybe think about it

strange python
#

and thast what i dont get because im literally a 467

#

shouldnt be 40

#

k

balmy condor
#

what corruptions are you wearing

#

Or do you have a sim?

#

That’s easiest

tropic charm
#

Off topic question, but how does sin rogue go from bottom tier dps to higher than havoc post the second nerf? Corruptions?

strange python
#

well i know i need more expedient, but one stack of expedient, 3 infinite stars lvl 1, and a random

balmy condor
#

Kill times went down I would think

strange python
#

wdym bottom tier

balmy condor
#

But we’ve never been bottom tier

strange python
#

lvl 3 strike through

#

look at boss dps not padding

balmy condor
#

Oh so your corruptions are a disaster

#

The IS3 should be doing a ton though on its own

#

40k still sounds kinda low

strange python
#

its like a mil per boss in nyalotha

#

at the least

#

and yeah, cant figure out why

balmy condor
#

So then we go back to sim/logs

tropic charm
#

Well not exact bottom tier but looking at Warcraftlogs for the first post nerf we were bottom 7

balmy condor
#

I wish I had a crystal ball sadly but idk what you’re doing wrong

strange python
#

trust me ive been trying to figure it out too sooooo

#

my sim was only like 47k so i kinda call bs

#

cause when i was a 430 it said i should be doing 60k

#

thats pre nerf boss dps

balmy condor
#

Link the sim

tropic charm
#

Hmm. I was literally on the same page as you but had completely different results. Must’ve checked something off by accident and not realized it

balmy condor
#

Wrong channel

#

The links are 90 percentile mythic

#

If you’re looking at some weird stuff that’ll shift obviously

#

If you look at like heroic 20 percentile

strange python
#

gotta wait a sec...

balmy condor
#

It’s gonna be a mess

#

@strange python could also send me the file itself

#

I can go ahead and sim from there

strange python
#

i was just gonna wait on raid bots...

balmy condor
#

That works too

tropic charm
#

I see what I did. I was on the damage tab and not damage to bosses

strange python
#

common mistake

#

also, dont comment about leeching poison, wanted to see if the healer would hate me less

balmy condor
#

Leeching poison is fine

strange python
#

i found its not bad as long as you do mechanics and dont stand in stuff

balmy condor
#

Great on fights that don’t one shot

strange python
#

id probably still run cheat death in raids tho

rigid eagle
#

leeching is great for maut

grave trail
#

nobody look at boss dmg get out of here wit that

balmy condor
#

Yeah leeching on Maut is kinda huge

strange python
#

also neck traits are....eh...kinda lazy

balmy condor
#

Quick sim notLikeThis

#

But 53.5

#

That’s pretty oof

#

40k on a dummy doesn’t sound bad now

strange python
#

so yeah not sure where to go from here

balmy condor
#

Your essences are a bit of a mess

#

Lucid minor should be an auto-take

#

VoP minor is awful for 5 minute fights

strange python
#

yeah...kinda got lazy, and i usually do but i switched it out this week for some reason

balmy condor
#

Iris Major is not used single target, so that’s a dead major

strange python
#

i was using blood of the enemy

balmy condor
#

Yeah you imported from armory so that’s kinda doomed

strange python
#

i just searched the name

balmy condor
#

Getting sims from armory is always jank

#

Cause you would need to log out with essences and stuff

strange python
#

guess its just corruptions and a ghost stealing dps...idk ill just have to figure it out some how

balmy condor
#

Corruptions, essences, and I assume gear otherwise as well

#

I’m on mobile so I can’t check

strange python
#

oh ok

balmy condor
#

40k on a dummy with 53k on sim sounds pretty reasonable though

wary kelp
#

I think azerite traits could be better for toxic blade build

#

and maybe a spyglass trinket or something could help

balmy condor
#

Yeah I have no idea what traits he’s using

strange python
#

lets see what my dps is now with BotE

#

the traits on these peices are trash ill say that now, they dont line up nice at all

wary kelp
#

hes got 2 nothing personal, 1 EB, 1 double dose

balmy condor
#

Well that’s not all bad

strange python
#

uh no?

#

1 nothing personal 1 shrouded and 1 twist

#

and yeah EB

wary kelp
#

yeah mb

strange python
#

id take 2 tho

balmy condor
#

EB is a dead trait so that’s obviously rip

wary kelp
#

uve got 1 double dose

#

I think u want to stack those as toxic

strange python
#

yeah thats kinda a must

balmy condor
#

Double dose is good, twist is good

#

Np is good

solar latch
#

once im at 50% haste i can go CT right

balmy condor
#

You can go CT once it sims higher

solar latch
#

ah ok

balmy condor
#

Usually will need more than 50 though

strange python
#

i dont have any other double dosses on my gear so

#

i would have another if i could

#

looks fine to me

balmy condor
#

Stat weights

#

Oh man

strange python
#

😭

balmy condor
#

Are you sure CT sims higher for you?

strange python

lets find out

harsh anchor
#

Am I just dumb - why is it every time with the pack before rexxar in a vision, I get fukt and proc my cheat death

balmy condor
#

It’s the hardest pack in that vision

loud light
#

big guy hits really hard

balmy condor
#

It’s not unusual

#

You just hit em with dots and kite like hell

harsh anchor
#

Aight just making sure I'm not that one guy who cant pull it off seamlessly

strange python
#

kill the swarm leader

#

my burst without crimson tempest is about 60k then drops to steady 43k

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

That seems pretty normal

strange python
#

poison bomb was better

#

:C

#

well if it says that

balmy condor
#

That’s what I thought xD

umbral rapids
#

Ya i thought so too

strange python
#

1400more dmg

median igloo
#

What should Symbiotic Presence uptime be set to on average?

balmy condor
#

Symfony woke up hi bb

umbral rapids
#

The default is reasonable

#

?

#

I’m going to sleep

balmy condor
#

Depends on your raid

umbral rapids
#

kek

balmy condor
#

My dumbass raid has like a 50% uptime

median igloo
#

maybe conflict major is the safer bet then

balmy condor
#

But you can get 90-100% pretty comfortably if your tanks are running crucible

median igloo
#

er minor*

#

k, ill check with them then, thanks

balmy condor
#

You can just look at your logs

#

And check for uptime there

quaint vortex
#

kek we recently had a raid where one of our tanks forgot to use crucible for the entire night

#

we had something like 8% FV uptime for the entire night

rigid eagle
#

@harsh anchor that pack before rex is dumb as hell

#

but try to position so that the first headbutt pushes you back down the ramp

#

instead of into the burning vision whatever bullshit area, or more mobs

#

basically use the knockback to kite lol

balmy condor
#

I position the head tuts into the fence

#

Cause idc kekw

strange python
#

well

#

first run

#

went suprisingly well

#

with Bl i had 150k dps and thats without food buffs and trinkets

#

so i believe in raids i could reach higher?

#

AND DOOOOOOOOOD

harsh anchor
#

Ye ye, I've been headbutted outside of the playable area and wiped a multitude of times ... I've learned to not face it that way xd

strange python
#

i got the mechagon ring / from behind ...

balmy condor
#

Nice nice

strange python
#

now give me this fucking 128 Haste passiv ring thanksfriend

#

Guys, how is gushing wounds on pve? I was think about make my pvp set and use it on pve while I don't have a better one for it

balmy condor
#

It’s a decent filler

#

But it’s not enough corruption

#

And there’s just better options

quaint vortex
#

the gap between me running full GW vs full Expedient on my gear right now is about 9k, and that's with an azerite setup that isn't optimized for exsang build

#

so it is a pretty sizable difference

fleet whale
#

GW however is boss in pvp, but assuming if PvE is your main focus just go expedient

wintry terrace
#

Are we using unbridles as our pre-pot of choice for the exsang build?

strange python
#

no crit pots on pure ST

balmy condor
#

unbridled for aoe only

wintry terrace
#

alright, awesome. Thanks

balmy condor
#

won't make much a difference though

#

couple hundred dps on sims

void sinew
#

actually kinda neat smokey used unbridled i think on his #1 maut

#

due to already having crit from trink i think

fleet whale
#

I don't think it's that big of a deal what potion you use. Unbridled's perk is that it's cheaper and a bit more versatile

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

it really doesn't make any difference

void sinew
#

i mean resolve only gives crit

balmy condor
#

they sim within margin of error for me

void sinew
#

if you run azahra font of power before fight, and have a bunch of crit

fleet whale
#

I honestly just use unbridled cause it's cheaper and i can stock them up in bulk

balmy condor
#

font gives agi

void sinew
#

oh

drifting cloud
#

cheaper lmao

balmy condor
drifting cloud
#

whats the difference, 10g per pot

fleet whale
#

well, maybe now it's not as big as a deal

#

but 8.3 start zin'anthid on my server was very expensive

#

also does unbridled scale with haste, like does it proc more with more haste?

strange python
#

Well, focussed resolve goes for like 400g on my realm and there were like 35 on Sale last wednesday

drifting cloud
#

we didnt use resolve start of 8.3

strange python
#

But it's fine, I just bother a mate that has alchemy

balmy condor
#

unbridled has unhasted rppm

shy dust
#

pretty sure its hasted

balmy condor
#

is it? I didn't think it was

shy dust
balmy condor
#

oh sick

fleet whale
#

yeah that's why it's so good for havoc

balmy condor
#

whispyr talks out of his ass again

fleet whale
#

and for us it's also good with all the haste we have

drifting cloud
#

well its just always been good

balmy condor
#

yeah

drifting cloud
#

except at start when resolve was broken before it was gutted

#

now because of scaling and exsang burst its better again

#

or well I dont really remember if we used agi pots in other tiers

balmy condor
#

I think we did in uldir

fleet whale
#

in uldir and BoD agi pots were the only option i thought

drifting cloud
#

oh right theyre made from 8.2 herb so they didnt exist before derp

clever stream
#

is the shards set good from raden or is it better to use the charged and a coral for instance

drifting cloud
#

coral

OMFG

#

thank you

#

im super dumb

#

i knew it was something like that

summer cedar
#

Is there any reason to FoK on 2 targets or is it always 3+

balmy condor
#

fok on 2 if you have EB

strange python
#

i feel like im weak as rogue im prob doing something wrong

balmy condor
#

usually gonna go with undergeared for that

strange python
#

I was surprised by just how much proper corruptions aided my performance

void sinew
#

would CLF be good for wrath if we go through 2 smoke and mirrros?

balmy condor
#

you get 2 casts on that

#

so I'd say its okay

mystic osprey
#

I'm sure they may have a bit more haste...but I'm 79% unbuffed.

#

prepot resolve...

balmy condor
#

you didn't get OP or vita into exsang

mystic osprey
#

So Im unlucky?

#

😄

balmy condor
#

yeah pretty much tbh

#

450k spikes are kinda brutal

#

with 0 procs

mystic osprey
#

Kind of frustrating. haha.

balmy condor
#

usually need a combination of clock/clf/gale and procs to push 450-500k

mystic osprey
#

may have to try this gale out

#

but most of the 450k were plum. *shrug

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean plume and gale are similar

#

my feelycraft says gale is a little burstier if you're looking for the peaks

#

but there's nothing gale can do that plume can't

mystic osprey
#

Just picking apart my soso parses

#

lol

strange python
#

im 435-7

worldly condor
#

When you guys typically using addons on nzoth being in the first psychus group?

wary kelp
#

any reason why gale sims higher for 2min/4minute fights than plum despite alot of people saying its better on dmg

harsh sphinx
#

just don't leave the circle. and it's better

balmy condor
#

gale is better

#

just need to stand still

random raft
#

So I have not been lucky with plumage but I got the Drest’agath trinket tonight on heroic clear. Should I macro it onto something for easy of use or bind it separately. Still playing a double dose focused build at 466.

balmy condor
#

drest trinket is pretty doo-doo in pve

#

I wouldn't suggest using it unless its really the only thing you have

#

if it actually sims higher, you would use it on cooldown

#

it's got a really awkward timing on it

arctic walrus
#

just inbetween plumages/cds basically

balmy condor
#

yeah

random raft
#

It aims higher than my zandalar bijou trinket that procs haste and is 445 😕

balmy condor
#

oh man

random raft
#

Sims*

balmy condor
#

yeah that's definitely a trinket lmao

random raft
#

I’ve had baddddd luck in KR

balmy condor

I haven't seen it in about a year or so

#

but it definitely exists

Yo guys, need your opinion, tomorrow I´ll have 20k residuum; Just buy Gorak Mantle? or roll trying to get ClockWork and Blightborne aswell?

harsh sphinx

#

This week we start M Carapace btw

balmy condor
#

tbh just buy goraks

#

it'll be fine

strange python
#

Yeah Gorak won’t treat you wrong

Okey guys, thank you

lapis falcon
#

When refreshing rupture and on 4 combo points, should I 4 point rupture or overcap combo points to 5 point rupture?

arctic walrus
#

4 is fine for both finishers

balmy condor
#

vel stealing the easy questions

quaint vortex
#

does anyone have any general recommendations about CD usage on M Cara? the timings feel really clunky for us

#

I feel like I should probably be running Blood major with VOP minor to help line things up a bit better

balmy condor
#

That’s probably not worth

#

The vanish garrotes are big

fallow otter
#

Depends on if you are struggling for dmg as a group for p2

#

We don't need to vend here anymore for our runs but on prog we were running vop minor for this

shrewd night
#

For prog vanishing a clump of growths in p2 was worth, now they die so quick for us Im better off holding it p3 peepoShrug

coarse tusk
#

It really depends on the kill timings

#

If saving vanish at the start of p3 nets you another vanish later in p3 its probably worth. If it doesnt you might as well use it on the growths and later in p3.

quaint vortex
#

we aren't really struggling with damage at all right now

#

I'm struggling to even find a good timing for second Vendetta right now because I'm not really getting any value out of it in p1

sullen pagoda
#

u dont use 2nd vendetta p1

#

either use it p2 on one of back synapses or just delay it for p3

tropic ocean
#

use 2nd vendetta on boss p1

#

and ignore dmg stop

#

not losing cd usage omegalul

quaint vortex
#

do i basically just need to accept that I'll likely be sitting on the cd for 2 minutes with no good window to use it

tropic ocean
#

y

#

unless ur dps is super bad no point to use it on growth

umbral rapids
#

Jeez that hurts

quaint vortex
#

i might get half duration out of it so doesn't feel good

#

and probably isn't the play

umbral rapids
#

Probably not

#

That sounds painful

quaint vortex
#

i feel a bit better about it now with that in mind at least - it just largely felt like I was doing something wrong by needing to do that

umbral rapids
#

You can always check logs

#

Find something that looks like your raid comp etc

#

To look at CD timers

night vale
#

The real play is to pop sprint a cloak and run over to the 3 growths at the back and triple garotte them. Gives you time to blast them before everyone else gets there

sick oyster
#

rogue unrelated question but you guys maybe can help me out on this one, i cant get my advanced interface options to save my settings (showing grand delusion nameplate) resets everytime i restart the game even if i toggle force options on startup. any ideas?

sullen pagoda
#

u dont need addon for that

#

just in nameplates in interface tick enemy guardians i think it was

sick oyster
#

thats the option they removed from basic ui options so time ago

#

so you need to set it up with a cvar commnad

sullen pagoda
#

nah it sstill there

#

the smaller boxes

sick oyster
#

you cant toggle guardian nameplates via basic ui anymore

#

i have the small boxes u linked checked

sullen pagoda
#

mhm ur options look different than mne

#

but your enemy units isnt checked

minor terrace
#

Good morning everyone.Where can i see assa rogue bis gear list

sullen pagoda
#

pretty sure u need to check that for rest of it to be valid

umbral rapids
#

Well yeah...

sick oyster
#

this isnt the live interface this is what it used to look like when there was a seperate option to toggle guardian nameplates

sullen pagoda
#

yea but i linked u what you need to enable

#

its either minions or minor

#

and u will have things from beyond shown

last ingot
#

how much my corruption shoulde be maximum for mythic prog 39 or 59?

warm olive
#

there is no real answer for that. its what you and your group can handle. 39 is considered safe without any problems. 59 is playable, but it can happen that some unlucky events kill you and wipe your raid.

#

today i got 475 overclocking bit band, it would replace 465 one. sims show me its only a 320 DPS upgrade, does that sound about right? Im asking because i dont have exp3 ready and would probably lose an equivalent of exp1 if i switch ... if the numbers are correct i would rather wait for next exp3.

random bramble
#

7 gushing and 2 vers? or just 9 gushing? for pvp

sick oyster
#

9 gush + vers gems works for most

random bramble
#

I plan to get all vers gems socketed on my gear

#

I'm about 4k echoes shy of 9 gushing

warm olive

i would probably use less than 9 gush if you have ilvl below 465

which weapon enchants should i use for m+

random bramble
#

force mult/quick nav/vers nav

wintry harbor
#

Does it matter which hand i have which enchant in? I read in a guide that i should have force mult in main hand and deadly nav in offhand but does it matter if it's the other way around?

strange python
#

probably not force multi

#

and no it doesnt matter which hand has which enchant

wintry harbor
#

Yea i did a simulation with raidbots with the "Dungeon Slice (BETA)" and it seems like agi stat weight is kinda low, so i'll probably go deadly nav/vers nav

strange python
#

You can just sim top Gear and select all the enchants and see which ones are better and by how much

wintry harbor
#

Thanks did that and it also said that i should go deadly/versatile

Hi ,pretty new at this - i dont know if anyone can give me some advice for what i should be aiming for, im using assas spec for M+ right now because i don't have any good weps for outlaw

#

trying to keep garrote min on those pulls in M+ but i find it hard to FoK + garrote + rupture each target ,and find im capping out energy too much

royal lantern
#

you dont garrote every target

#

garrote does not really great spread dmg outside of subterfuge/ss

wary relic
#

how much of a gain would the troll racial be for the haste/bleed assas build

keen tree
#

thnks @fallow otter and @dull crypt

royal lantern
#

not enough too make a difference for 99,99999% of all players

however.. you would be a cool rastafarian with a bad back so what's not to like?

haha true, well im currently a zandalar anyway

there are only 2 kinds of people that play troll

zandalari are not REAL troll imho

that's like saying highmountain tauren are not tauren

royal lantern
#

well

#

they are not tauren

#

they are highmountain tauren

#

duh

normal olive
#

bruh

keen tree
#

my main issue is the fact that they stand up straaaight.. real trolls ALL have a bad back.. it's waht drives their anger and ability to fight

#

im joking btw

#

i feel i have to state that.. which makes me sad

wary relic
#

bad back gives them that haste buff haha

royal lantern
#

but ye like

cosmic jetty
#

am i supposed to just envenom in M+ for the large mobs?

keen tree
#

yeah if you had a bad back you'd just want to get shit done quickly.. hence haste

wary relic
#

get me out of here i need to sit down my backs killing me

the difference bettwen the absolute "worst" and absolute "best"race are like 1k SIM dps max

(im an ally but still just askin) does troll passive scale with expedient or is it just 10%?

shh dont tell him.. spy!

Nah i enjoy having 2 vanish abilities, even tho one is partly broken in raids and takes dmg just from traits

So hehe

haha 🙂

verbal sparrow

No passive mon

Isn't nightelf the best race for rogue atm?

Meld is strong overall

You like cheese ok

Every class

Especially before 8.3 when you could death skip

wary relic

ive just leveled a second rogue on ali just for meld

you don't have 4 rogues prepared for SL?

that was my plan

One day i will get Gorak Tul's... that day is not today....

I wish 3 months ago id just saved up :p but i thought i wouldnt be still raiding by then

Imagine getting Goraks on your second gamble kekw

wary relic
#

dam someone else who gets fucked on the reg by the azerite vendor

verbal sparrow
#

I just for a rare moment where I made lock in 2 days

keen tree
#

i returned to rogue and bought about 17 azerite chests before getting one with SS on it (i mainly m+)

verbal sparrow
#

Usually i just leave my wannabe alts on Draenor

keen tree
#

then.. today .. i bought my first 480 item.. a chest.. and it came with SS... so i feel like i won the lottery

wary relic
#

very nice

night vale
#

😂 luckily its not the end of the world i have other options for shoulders, but goaks would be a nice little upgrade

wary relic
#

yeah ive got the one with clockwork heart

verbal sparrow
#

That clockwork is good

night vale
#

same i use clockwork heart for a lot of fights and ilgy shoulders for fights where i dont like clockwork, like nzoth

keen tree
#

seeing as we have a fun group in here right now - my BRAIN tells me i should focus on a tank class (zero wait time to do m+ and you are master of your own destiny to some extent) or BM hunter (so relaxing and easy) or resto druid (tauren.. nuff sad).. but my heart says play rogue. I can not explain this.. why do i wanna play rogue so bad?

wary relic
#

the real question is why dont you wanna play rogue

keen tree
#

also when i say rogue - i specically mean dagger rouge not outlaw.. i have no interest in that

shut garnet
#

lmao actually DEd mecha shoulders

verbal sparrow
#

Stay rogue my friend

shut garnet
#

that are arguably better than goraks rn PepeLaugh

keen tree
#

@wary relic i like that reply a lot 🙂

wary relic
#

lmao actually DEd mecha shoulders
@shut garnet which ones?

shut garnet
#

extravagant

wary relic
#

oh lol yeah the ones i have

patent topaz

double clockwork probably better on most low duration fights now

shut garnet
#

yea

wary relic
#

question, for the bleed build what is the ideal crit percentage

#

im gemmed full haste rn but sat at 32% crit

shut garnet
#

there are no ideal %s

#

just whatever sims highest

wary relic
#

fairs

night vale
#

yeah clockwork sims really well on 3min for me, about 500dps ahead of goraks

verbal sparrow
#

Mate i tried to both heal and tank, but nothing fits me more than rogue. Also I know what being dps is like, i dont want to just try to act like i know how to tank/heal if i dont

patent topaz
#

I only have clockwork chest, not shoulders

shut garnet
#

i think both the chest and shoulder for me simmed 1.5k dps ahead on 3min st

wary relic
#

plus having 3 dps specs is great for going into a new exp

keen tree
#

@verbal sparrow healing is easy peasy

shut garnet
#

theyre pretty yuge

night vale
#

i mean they cant get me decent logs, but they sim well xD

@tame wren but stickign with dps. bm hunter is so much easier than rogue

well the logs part is more down to you than to gear really ;P

@wary relic is sub looking good for m+ in sl?

umbral rapids
#

like, you actually can't say if it's good or not

wary relic
#

but tbh im only on assas this expansion because its the only viable raiding spec

#

i mean the new aoe finisher for sub looks good

keen tree
#

interesting

wary relic
#

reckon itll be good, and it has a higher target cap than outlaws blade flurry, but early on outlaw might be better depends on how big pulls people can do early on in the expansion

keen tree
#

i wont play outlaw

hallow kraken
#

Isnt outlaw even more dulled down in SL?

wary relic

how so?

Wasnt BlessRNG aka Roll the bones set to a cd instead of the eternal rerolling?

@shut garnet do you have the sims for clockwork

umbral rapids
#

but like, fairly short, so it should be up every 3 finishers or so

wary relic
#

yeah should be up pretty quick

#

even quicker if you pop adren

#

maybe theyll make a legendary to remove the rng aha

shut garnet

why?

i can get em

well that won't change how many finishers you need to reset the CD

for m+ what essences should i be using? wowhead says iris major with dreams, breath and purification minor but this is not what the top people on raider.io use.. what should i use?

kk bote major, lucid vop and breaath minors.. will buy those

#

@shut garnet I just don't believe the chest is simming better, wanted to see it

keen tree
#

i thought bote, with conflict, dreams and breath based on raider.io

wary relic
#

if you have enough haste you dont need lucid right C&S will be better right>

keen tree
#

i have very low haste.. let me check

#

40% crit, 13% haste, 42% mastery and 4% vers

wary relic
#

as assas?

#

you really need haste

#

im on 82% base now i think

for m+??

umbral rapids

crit is fine with EB build

verbal sparrow
#

Boys on nzoth, should i switch to VoP?

wary relic
#

never considered it tbh

umbral rapids
#

i guess this 5.2k dude can learn a thing or two. should play haste tbh

keen tree
#

is that quietstep?

umbral rapids
#

yeah

keen tree
#

only has 8% haste.

umbral rapids
#

raid build is fine in KR/WS but i don't know why you'd run that in another dungeon GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

#

i don't do sin m+ but it sounds odd to me

wary relic
#

yeah thats fair

#

tbf i dont play assas much in m+

keen tree
#

he's using bote main and then conflict, dreams and breath minors. i was going to copy that.. but should i switch conflict out with vop minor?

wet ruin
#

raid build is fine everywhere

sullen pagoda
#

I mean haste build is perfectly viable in any key

#

it also pumps in JY cuz your zap goes pew pew more

umbral rapids
#

well yeah JY is an outlier for everything

wet ruin
#

most of those 'must have EB' players never even tried haste

#

so I don't know what it is based on

umbral rapids
#

haste build is fine but if someone asks what to pick i wouldn't just blindly say to go raid build in m+

keen tree
#

@wet ruin with haste what are the azerite traits you need (for m+ focus).. 3 x ss i assume.. what else?

wet ruin
#

just run what you run in raids

keen tree
#

i dont run raids yet

wet ruin
#

SS, HoD, BBI

keen tree
#

and also what build is this? im 2212221

cobalt pelican
#

if you don't raid you likely don't have any functional gear to play expedient

keen tree
#

ok.

wet ruin
#

also that might be true yea

keen tree
#

Did they fix the bug where if you'd cast garrotte on a third target without subterfuge then the previous garrottes that benefit from sub no longer benefit?
