Better azerite, mecha rings, sockets, haste enchants (unless sims said to go mastery)
bote r3, like you said or CLF
if you're going bleed haste build
How do you copy someones simc from their link senpai?
if its a top gear, you hit sim again
in a quick sim or other stuff you can scroll down
this stuff should have it
and then you need to chop out some of the garbage raidbots adds
and gg
Huh. Nice ty
np homie
is it still viable to run the double dose build untill i have gear for the new bleed build?
yeah
great, cuz it looks like u need alot of stuff before the bleed build gets better
apparently dd crit build at the high end isnt even that far behind exang haste
it do be like that
which surprises me
thats great then!
yeah but it's also strictly single target
how far behind?
true
high end meaning youd need to get like
specific statted pieces of gear, socket them and get the specific corruption for em
if ur gonna go thru that trouble u might as well go with the all round best that also is the best on pure st
yah
(which is the ss exang haste one)
im not sure when the bleed build is viable to start playing with
when it sims higher
it super depends
I've found usually 30% for exsang and 60% for CT
so those are the numbers I spit out
you link anything relevant to stat breakpoints and you're getting lobbed
but some people don't see exsang until like 50%, and others see exsang at like 20%
yeah
I try and add big disclaimers

azerokks good for anything other than the meme mastery sub spec?
garbo trinket

ah cool cool cool, got which side of the week mother would have expedient 3 the wrong way around
yes.. yes I did. feelsgud

haha ye, it'd be on theme with this expansion for me
I could angrily stock up on rank 2 I guess
glimpse > exp 2
That sweet full exp r3
hey all question for good assassinations, what are we dumping max combo points into for fast big damage once all dots are applied? what am I spamming as much as possible?
envenom is our main dump
I've seen conflicting messages on whether rogues are getting nerfed in SL. Looking at the changes it looks like everything is pretty freakin rosey. Is there some reason peoplea re saying nerf?
nerf/buff is all here-say
balance doesn't exist atm
people for sin are mostly miffed because alacrity is a boring talent and slice and dice is a meaningless addition
but one of the biggest things around looks like the conduit that ties reuperate to SND
shiiit id kill for it on my feral XD
alright guys, aoe feels weak a bit as assassination, how do we maximize this? I have been coming from a strong aoe background. is it the aoe talent and drain bleeds faster good?
right now or on beta?
now not beta
the current way we aoe is subtfuge/SS garrotes from stealth and it depends on build
crit builds can use EB, which becomes very powerful with a couple severe/strikes, that's the preferred m+ spec for sin
haste builds can spread ruptures and CT
thank you
Got that since a few weeks and i just played assa 2 weeks
I hope Assa will be best Rougespec in SL

I’ve been looking through the king slayer traits and how come some of them weren’t carried into bfa? They look cool
cause blizzard didn't add them
That’s a shame
They look really cool
Blood of the assassinated, poisoned knives, dense concoction
and instead of doing damage, multiplied all our damage on the target by a %, stacking 5 times
and it scaled with mastery
Yeah and apparently some of the artifact traits buffed it
and it was the worst fucking thing
sin rogue already had ramp time
and it made it even worse
Oof
it was busted op
cause it was just an 80% damage buff to targets or something stupid
Holy shit
but it's awful design
I know its beta, but how is assassination going into shadowlands? Might actually start out with a rogue this time.
and it's really really REALLY bad
Yeah it could’ve been made more fun
assassination is looking fine
slice and dice is boring
but if you liked bfa sin, its the same thing
Not looking forward to SnD
it punished target swapping extremely hard and everyone hated it lol
so they removed it in like 7.1
Is Sub going back to pre Zul?
it was added in nighthold
7.2.5 actually
really
interesting
I don't have memories back that far because my brain hurts
@stark wyvern no its not, because that passive creates a lot of fucking problems
7.0.3 - 7.2.5
but its the same thing
its current sub with some find weakness changes and an aoe finisher
And then they axed it and replaced it with toxic blade
Which is being removed too
wouldn't call it removed exactly
Well they’re baking into a pvp talent and making it baseline
Shiv
I guess now I’ll actually have a reason to use shiv?
in pve it's basically the same
just with the old enrage dispel tied to it
the enrage is super niche from what I've seen
They’re giving shiv an enrage dispel?
just raging weeks
Woohoo
that's what old shiv did
but sometimes it was nice
I’ll take that
UBRS boss is the only one i remember
and otherwise its just toxic blade
and hellfire council
Fury warrior is getting fucked
Yeah, more utility. 
they get spell reflect baseline
No I mean
Mind numbing poison AND we can dispel their enrage?
We are unstoppable
idk if fury warrior enrage is an enrage
It is I think
Considering they are pretty much enraged constantly, they won’t be out of enrage for long
yeah that too
yeah
it was a cooldown
has*
What’s toxic blade?
Right. Lol. You can’t spam it. Lmao
25 seconds
that would make your point even worse
yes
Jesus Christ
alacrity is taken in pve in every situation
shrugs I can’t say no to free haste
im sure there’ll be WAAAY too much haste in the first tier of a new expac
Why?
so much you wint even wanna have alacrity (/s btw)

you’re gonna probably want all the haste u can get
crit vers mast haste for a crit build
haste mast/crit vers for haste build

still crit vers
you know better tisu u god damn snack


depends on week and key but you need vers for higher keys and a haste build doesn't work with that so my personal opinion is outlaw
outlaw build is better m+ build
ok im too tired to troll
:P

wish I could just put you in a room with autoattakk until he broke you

@balmy condor do u happen to remember what you did for my sim the other day? im getting a lower number again https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bNLhS5LJhyjSxUUpm8B4mv
don't you talk shit about agonizing poison @balmy condor
it was our main excuse to tunnel boss

true
yeah now that i think about it more i definitely bitched at my raid until i never had to hit adds on krosus
"sorry guys would love to help with aluriel adds, but can't, agonizing"

and then they all stacked on boss
fok ramped the poison
and you got a poison bomb proc
skyrocketed on meters lmao
so in a standard opener, your first exsang happens with your first empowered garrote and rupture
do you use ur second exsang on cd?
and your third
with just a regular rupture and garrote
then vanish/repeat
ye
is there any way to practice on the dummy without vanish screwing up the meter
get a friend to hit it with you
yeah makes sense
or just log it
in general rotation terms, ignoring things like shrouded suffocation, is there any meaningful difference between allowing a dot to drop for half a second vs pandemicing it
yeah
you're missing a half second of ticks
and you're not full pandemicing for exsang
because that's below 60
im a pussy
also
i ran honed 3 a while back at varying exp levels and
only at corruption cap levels was it better than pure exp 3
so
idk what else you'd use
except for jumping straight into hm3 setup
but that's 15 extra corruption
mecha rings

Resimming

I dont feel like waiting 3 weeks to buy another exp for my mecha ring
we'll compare sims :)
Progging on nzoth with an inting sim 😭
oof
mecha rings and belt corruption
unlucky
better luck next time
according to that, ye
hmmm
k
I need to re corrupt my belt
I got that out of a weekly
and it was better than my old
so close
do you have any corruptions on you
unlucky
It's okay, on Friday I will cleanse my Tendy 3 and equip 3 Strk3s
and I dont support that
mecharings with exp3
WTF\
get you 40 away
ok dood
so that + a random socket should do it
probably not worth
tbh my dps is from lack of sockets
cause you're losing 40 corruption worth of stuff
true
my HoD wouldn't proc
is 6500 haste to much haste? its 95%
does 95% haste sim higher?
I would assume the sims are screaming at you to equip some different gems
If I replaced this
or re-enchant
well does it have exped3
then no
it never tells me to swap my gems for some reson even tho i have them selected idk why
because 233 + 12% is in fact not how that works
well yeah
not necessarily
Doesnt exist
what in the fuck
lmaooooo
@balmy condor Why does SimC not have a 100% uptime on Garrote/Rupture on a Patchwerk fight
Yeah
I got my dh sim to 200k by putting 330 worth of IS
in a Patchwerk fight where nothing happens and no mechanics, why would you let it fall off?
you're already at less than 100% on rupture because you're not casting it on your first global
and there's probably gcd's your missing with empowered bleeds dropping
^
So this sim you ran goes off of vendetta.
Do you think it would be better to run 3 SS for fights like M nzoth
Because dotting at least 3 synapses I feel would be ebtter
than like 60k extra damage on vendetta
lmao
@balmy condor Wanna see my ugly Azerite
no thanks
not bis for crit build :^)
its also SS/EB
I thought gorak was BiS 0.o
I want a Gorak's yes
but ive rolled the same 3 shoulders every gamble
also rolled Gore chest twice in a row
Those assa on beta has legendary and all 4 convenant now?
I mean, we're still missing a couple conduits
but ye
we've had our covenants for a while
legendaries got added last week
or 2 weeks?
idk time is difficult
Wasnt night fae missing
night fae is the sepsis shit
no legendaries were testable during this week's raid testing
right
or was there a vendor that gave them out
in the raid
nope, had to grind them I'm pretty sure
No vendor
yah then they weren't in
Runecarver wasn't working til like 1 day before raid testing
Trying to see how rogue feels in shadowlands but last info i read. There were lot missing.. but that was a month ago
Also what conduits are we missing ? All 3 specs got 4 potency conduits each datamined
datamine does not mean they are in the beta
just means Blizzard has the data clientside
Thats not what i interpreted as
Yes
ye one on sub one on outlaw
Glad insig or Plumage
Thats a bit sad seeing how the game might launch i 2 month
They are the same
well shadow vault is useless because its bugged and isn't affected by mastery
yeah that's the same trinket lmao
they're both on use vers and the same amount of stats
don't use that
You are thinkinh about the badge trinket
the only pvp trinket we use
is on use vers one
because the one use vers one is plumage
this is the insig
everything else is trash
true
15's are enough of a stomp these days
well a 20 KR this week is definitely painful
no one does keys on tyran weeks
you just do your one weekly no leaver
which is usually a junk
tru
8 raden kills and 12 rerolls later no vita on my dh
I did get a slapper though
slapper is the bigger upgrade
i dropped both my slappers and stopped living the Outlaw dream
back to Sin for N'Zoth proggers
but there's no ST fights

Progging that 470 ilvl
470 is nzoth ready for BM
true
All TD isn't bad either
well you can like 17 man nzoth so I guess all you need to be is 120
900million dps
true
for a crit build or haste
also be aware that heroic cara and mythic wrathion drop better weapons for either build
so unless you pull something out of your box, unlikely you'll find better than that
depends on difficulty tbh
doing heroic rn
pop on nzoth after first psychus
if they live that long sure
you can just hit em with a 2-3 cp rupture
and snipe the energy back (assuming you don't have expedients and are already drowning in energy)
If you are going for parse
pop cd's on first phase
I made the mistake of not doing that
so I only have an 80% on nzoth rn
"Damage done to Synapses that heal to full or that do not die is excluded in the table below. Bonus damage to Psychus has been removed as well (i.e., all damage to Psychus counts as 100% with no bonus added)."
for if you want to parse
yeah, the only thing you get from popping cds on psychus is cd timing
I just tried assassination on ptr
it feels
sluggish
does it improve with gear?
I feel like 90% of the time I'm stuck with low combos and low energy
that's usually how sin feels
the only reason we don't feel like that now is because expedients
alacrity and blindside make it feel really smooth actually imo
it'll of course get better with more and more haste
but you shouldn't compare the speed of sin atm to the speed of sin normally
this has been an incredibly weird patch
about energy generation
do we get more energy with haste?
like do we generate haste with aa?
we have natural energy gen with haste
a majority of the energy gen will come from venomous wounds
which gives us energy when garrote/rupture ticks on poisoned enemies
and since haste speeds up the ticks + gives us natural energy regen
that's where the energy comes from
I don't like outlaw as much as sin
I played sin in legion and I loved it
with the amount of shit they are getting
I skipped bfa
Wdym gl in shadowlands
dude
Sub all the way dude
Have you tried outlaw during raid testing
sub is good too
relax, we got 3 dps specs
Gouge when
I timed a 19 ML on the ptr with 6k overall DPS
it's almost guaranteed that at least one will be viable
Lmao
hey, anyone tried messing out with ra-dens weapons on assa ?
Just sim for 8bil DPS
wtf did you just say scav 
@empty tide not sure if you’re memeing or not
There’s been a couple troll logs on hive that made it look okay
no meme actually, i tried for fun on a 19, the only skill you cant use its mutilate
with 3x EB 3x SS
ngl, its legit
no...
Except it isn’t
by legit i mean its playable
well
Sure it’s playable
You could also equip a single 320 dagger from a vendor
ye ye, thanks for the insight
ohhh
^
He foks single target
and it was toldagor so, 2 "aoe" bosses
Actually does less damage than outlaw single target tho
^
I mean ill sim cleave rn
with 2 slappers
and show you that it is not viable
Tol dagor
even with eb x3
Might be decent for first pull
But I would run out after beach and equip daggers
Even then
Questionable
i mean, im not saying its the go to super bis etc
I’m not sure if the corruption from lash is better than just running the equivalent in strikes
just go dh 
You trying to become Jes Howlis?
was mainly for fun after seeing a guy do it, but i thought it would end up much worse
too low)
@balmy condor told me mastery build is better then crit build in raid but i wanted a 2nd opinion https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2fCRmKcCCVdGVYWDdodfat 🙂
How dare you
You think I’m sleeping at 2am
@craggy seal if you’re gonna troll me at least do it efficiently
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/u2UvpwtPQgHmZUFvNZr74e
Well I guess we’re throwing hands then
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gjcDtzApkgUNBsfSakuUvK
Damn, it feels so good after buying out and stacking expedients as much as the cloak let me, now I just need some better items and the damn trinket from KR
What iLvL is that pvp trinket
430
But it has a socket
That's probably the only reason why it works better than 465 dice
It’s possible
Good morning 🙂
I dc'd last night but ty @balmy condor for simming my trash gear 🙂
Just curious if running 3x Double Dose do you use subterfuge or master assassin in the 2nd talent row
probs just sim it
yeah probably, just thought id ask
If you have a raid/haste build
You’d run that
Playing a crit build is still fine though
You just get rid of one of the EB
DD Crit Kreygasm
why does everyone getting expedient and on raider io everyone using severe / strikethrough
Because crit build is better in dungeons/aoe
And haste build is better single target
And most of this channel is a raid channel
Because outlaw is the meta m+ spec
And sin is not
No one pushes on tyrannical weeks
So imo it’s not worth talking about
But sin is better on tyran
I have so much haste gear atm. That is why I change spec from outlaw to assasin
Well it’s mostly the corruption that matter
But having decent stats as a baseline is definitely useful
some kwys are worth 🙂
still need workshop and siege
i have full hastebuild im gonna try it thanks 🙂
Workshop and siege are both awful on tyran
You can play haste build on fortified in those
It’s a little worse in siege to be fair
so haste build over severe even if forti?
if you have access to severe strikethru with 3ss3eb then you take that for forti in most keys
yeah fortified weeks usaually np
haste build still pulls ahead im pretty sure in SoB, temple, junkyard most likely
kings rest
overall 100k+ almost in any dungeon
also got some problems with ad xD
maybe go haste build in there to?
wdym by problems?


there's a lot of variables that could cause that
key level, what specs ur playing with, the way ur tank pulls
whether ur actually consistent on packs
e.g doing the same thing on the same pack every atal
u guys go posionbomb in there or hb?

hidden blades
haha oki
Hidden blades is a SUPER bad talent
the only people ive legit seen take it is some hivemind parses
but even then its probably suboptimal
alright thanks for some input im gonna fix this 🙂
yeah ct sux for some dungeons
i oprefer to use it tho
Very few tbh
sob righjt?
With a crit build I’d run PB in workshop, and maybe sob/atal depending on the aoe
Sob is mainly cause there’s so much squishy shit and spotter nukes
And last boss is super super scary
Atal is mostly for bosses and the birds die really quick
But I think it’s a hard sell for atal overall
I generally prefer CT in there as well
Which better for PvE?
Or is gladiators badge better
I got remote guidance device on other slot
ilvl 460
sim
Sim is the answer
bro

is blindside looking like the way to go in SL?
yeh im really hoping it is
Might be blindside single target and ep/mp for aoe
never been keen on ep
Hello there, may i ask which convenant looks good for shadowlands? And which spec is currently doing well in dongeon? If you know it
thanks you for your time
Bone spike is Maldraxus one?
ye
Thank you for your answer
dungeon wise, outlaw probably still BiS, because its outlaw. Sin will probably be okay with dots now that target caps are a thing, sub depends on tuning on their aoe finishers and the potential to funnel
really all up in the air on sin/sub for tuning and how the meta shakes out. I think outlaw is a safe bet though. They didn't get a lot of changes from bfa
We got back ambush, i do hope it turns out okay for a good opening
yeah blindside seems okay, that's just a numbers game
subterfuge 3x garrotes is just too strong in dungeons to pass up though
don't really see a world where we run MA in dungeons for example
Alacrity is the new talent OP ?
its the best talent in the row because venom rush is dog shit useless and exsang needs a lot to make it work that won't exist at least at the start of the expac
we're probably stuck with it
it's okay, but it's not super op crazy
the haste is nice in single target to keep the spec moving
but its kinda w/e in aoe aside from the tick rate on dots
increasing the bleeding and energy regen
yeah its basically just an energy regen like vigor
Understood, thank you !

so how are rogues looking in SL boys
lol not sure what that means but I appreciate it
rogues have always been fine
same as now plus slice and dice, covenant abilities aren't totally awful, overall 5/7
did Expidient get nerfed or something?
Rogues are "atleast they are not a shaman" tier for me atm Kappa
Rogue will always be at the bare minimum "good enough". I think the last time Rogues were legitimately terrible was naxx in wotlk and they were swiftly buffed the next patch
And that's just for raiding. Rogue has never been bad (or less than S tier tbh) for M+ or Arena
iirc, rogue was bad in early mop
This is actually funny
I’m guessing that means rogue players do more keys
Not sure
that means that out of all the keys above 20, 26% of the dps are outlaw rogues
rogue brings shroud in m+ what makes it a prefered pick if it can be abused
at least that's how I'm reading it
not even the best utility in the game can make us be played more than dhs 
Well how would you interpret the difference then @balmy condor
First one shows all runs, a character is gonna be counter multiple times, second one each character is counted once
Funny
At 15+ the difference between rogue and warrior is a lot smaller
And the sample size is 10 times larger lol
less dps warriors than dps rogues interested in keys
Yeah that’s what I said, rogue players do more keys ^^
well, higher keys
its for sure not shroud what makes you pick rogue 1st thing
2nd thing its not more rogues do more keys than warriors
its that warrior is shit in high keys compared to rogue
the player amount goes down dramatically if you filter for higher keys
for both utility and defense
ye
you're just seeing the 'meta' happen as you filter higher
you can take a shaman to a 15 easy peasy
so you'll see more shamans
if you filter to high you almost only evaluate what the handful of "push groups" play
but as you get higher and higher and more 'meta' groups are established
you'll see less
yeah but keyboard warriors don't :P
you also need to have some knowledge to interpret it
you don't see certain classes in higher keys due to population
but due to efficiency
and effectiveness
« Meta » classes to time a 20 isn’t really necessary
i am not 100% convinced on the efficiency topic
What😂
like for the highest keys you def. have to bring a very good composition
but there is a huge diffrence between a +20 key and a +30 key
theres not
its more efficient to bring a firemage and a rogue to 20
as it is to bring him to 30
the key tier doesnt change the class' capability
0 influence
it does change the requirement
Yeah but you don’t need them in a 20
infact when I boost 15s we pull so much that firemage is leaving keys with 180k+ dps
You do in a 30

@tropic ocean there are differences in key lvls t ho

the argument is true that its more efficient to bring a certain spec/class over a other in almost all content levels also trivial content.
if you bring a firemage to a tyrannical 15, their primary target dies halfway into their combust
some pretty
discussion in here
cuz u are not limited to pullsize in 15s
assa PUMPS on medium keys (+20 or so) because trash usually lives the duration of garrote, not longer, not shorter
cuz u dont need control when everything dies in 20sec
you are limited by affixes tbh 😄
do that in explo week
doesnt matter firemage 800kdps
🙂
can do the same in explo?
Is it more efficient ? Yes
Is it required ? No
try on explosive or bolstering 🙂
done
Guess we agree on that
only real issue is bolstering
Is it more efficient ? Yes
Is it required ? No
That said, i timed some of my highest keys with completely off meta specs that still did pretty well
Granted, yes it would’ve been easier with a mage
But it worked so whatever
That was the point.
with non efficiency in wow
????
kek
i answered to fuu
Fair enough 😅
Whats our best covenant so far (pre tuning?)
cause its omegalul overtuned
That will teach me sharing data I find interesting 
and 3 of them in temple last boss
you can do almost everythnig
with non efficiency in wow
i know, assassination is king of that
Yeah only place I use shroud all the time is volkall and tos
vokaal did in the begin
but ever since I saw russian tank route never changed from it
e.g. leaving portal in middle
and not playing stairs pack with 2 casters
Oh I’m interested in that
so u just take vokaal obelisk down to middle
so much more efficient than skipping right side honor guard pack
Right
and skip double caster pack on stairs
where u need to cc 1 caster out
until 1st is dead
which costs so much time
like even with 2x garrote
and vanish 2x garrote
it was very fiesta
anyway I did 22 atal or so with russian tank with 6k rio and he did it like that and it was so easy
Atal is one of those dungeons with so many break points
key was full int and we still finished with 5 or 6 min left or smth
the pathing was very different to what im used to
usually go left first then priest then to mid
but he went mid and snap all saurids +1 skycreamer on entrance
and then snap saurid pack+mid pack
it was very efficient time-wise
