Yeah the first pull can be sketchy but it saves a shitton of time
but since they were all premade except me it went well
communication was
"ROUGE PULL"
"ROUGE TRICKS"
and i responded da

10/10 experience
Just rogue things
Personally for me hardest part is to choose/sync strats that work in group
Half of the really efficient strats are not applicable in pug
true
Bote before or after i press Exsanguinate?
after
after
thank you
me faster
unlucky server lag
true
bote before or after tb
after
buy glimpse before or after expedient?
Should I finish the 18k honor for bote at the cost of wanting to die
before and after
u can play clf if u want
I wish Glimpse was good enough for anyone to use. It's one of the only well designed corruptions
what does it do?
isnt IF just straight up a better version of that?
Glimpse would be good on a spec like Surv or BM where it reduces cd of Mongoose / Barbed
But raw stats are too op atm
How much will S&D complicate the assa rotation? I like it the way it is
you literally just maintain it
you hit it like you would CT at the moment
but a third as much
So, just one more thing to maintain?
yes
I like the maintenance as it is, lol 🙂
more buttons 
you like hitting CT every 10 seconds?
Not really, no 🙂
then this is an upgrade
we have CT still
but we won't be using it single target
cause the only reason we hit it atm is cause we have ridiculous haste corruptions
Ok.
You were very helpful last week.
If you say it will be ok, I believe you

I’m leaving my DH for SL
And trying to find a new home. Like my rogue so far.
My little group only does M+
then outlaw probably bis
Even for SL? It seems to be more complicated. I need straightforward
its easier probably cause you don't have to rerol as much
outlaw and sin are already dirt easy though
Lol
me help
It’s a new poison... beguiling

is "just go expedient build" really helping Kappa
Do some rogues do ok with one spec for all content?
Or do all of them do Outlaw for M+ and Assa for raids?
I know there will always be a “beat”
“Best”
hard to tell what's meta
The higher key you go, the more demanding on spec people become
I was hoping I could just do assa for both :/
Ok
Ok, if players that good don’t bother changing then it must be ok .... otherwise they would
man it's so lame they cancelled Comp Stomp cause of the 1 bug
right when i needed to farm for bote
just afk spam bg's
'some'
just realized
not gonna be able to get the longboi
unless i somehow make 3.5 million gold in 4 weeks
Lol
boost keys all day
gallywix boosting
3.5mil is nothing in 4weeks
tell what
how to make 3.5 mill in 4 weeks
key sales are like at an all time low
did you get your account back
yes
are you advertising by yourself?
starlight?
oblivion, you oblywix
you are just limited by your time
when I was nolifing boosting all day on 4 characters made 15mil or so in 1 month
if u can be bored enough to advertise on multiple accounts
you'll make more than that, way more
but thats 2 boring for me
goddamit all of these are eu communities
Right? Gimme a good NA one 
oh well idk for us
but eu is boomin
might as well find a premade group and just spam yourself
is slower but also no fee to community/advertiser
tbh,boosting with a friend group is close too impossible at this point
cus there is just too much spam
i did 2 bg's and then gave up. i can't get bote it's too painful.
weak.
you get 1/1000th the honor
im trying to get rank 4 ripple in sapce
so you gotta loot 25 supply crates as an assassin in nazj
but why
its the most boring thing you are just waiting for supply crates to drop every 45 mins
because
i wanna get azeroth's champ
also get someone to fly you around
cd is like every 30 mins
like half an hour on the dot
refreshes at 12:31 for example
why would you want to be Champion of the worst expansion
you know make a pretty good point
@grizzled jay
idk why i guess ive been playing all of bfa and want an achievement that shows that'
@solar flicker 🤨
Is it worth farming corruptions at this point? I have a 470 sin rogue with rank I & II of falling stars and like another rando corruption
idk depends on what you want but if you are doing it for leveling then no reason to get corruptions
Hm I think the only thing I want to do before SL is get that legendary lazur essence
what talents do you guys play on PTR/Beta for Assassin?
Blindside, Subt, Vigor, Internal, Venom Rush, PB
Venom rush is garbage btw.
ye
Alacrity is way better.
play alacrity
It's probably the meta for rest of 9.1.
That entire row is now the most boring talents i've seen
Why do I feel like rogue community is most adequate?
Like I had simple questions in dk's one and there is a bunch of toxic stuff appeared. 

Well ppl in Akerus still don't know what to do with talents and covenants in SL with unholy and blood when it's obviously more stable than rogue cz we barely having any changes.
I mean the biggest reason rogue is sure about covenants atm is just bone spike is super busted
Also i dont think any specs have simc up to date enough for any discussion about numbers to be a lot more than opinion and napkin math
that row in particular is just easy to guess since we used to have alacrity and we know how good it is, and venom has been trash for an expansion now and isn't changing
the rest are more iffy
Ya i dont mean that you cant make informed assumptions, its just some specs dont have choices that are that obvious
already wrong
then you fucked up
idk man
ok
So with no ss
what would be the opener
for synapses
because I only get like 2-3.5mil dam
on em
That sounds very high for assa on synapses
yeah
we're not a spec that is good for that
synapes are kinda the last thing we hit
gets like 4 mil
well
not me
I get put on syn
beause our fire mage
just bullies
I mean you should hit them with fan/ct and maybe rupture
is he just running around dotting them all
logs?
good 'cause that's stupid
this was last night
oop
well
to late
we are starting now
Ill see you guys in 3 hours 
he has 700k synapse damage
Get your dh to run breath major
wait
you're telling me you have 3 mil?
yeah
breath major PUMPS on synapses
kk
Breath major prob too high iq requirement for most dhs
Its a joke but ya its prob not necessary
They should die insta anyway but if your group going down is all fire mages and assa rogues yeah it might be an issue
Fire mages cleave them pretty hard
Ya not until cds
We dont even send our fire mages down because they just dont do enough damage down there
We have a mage combust s
mages make it so that once they pop combust they carry synapse damage and you just cleave off psychus
if synapses are an issue you may as well have 1 person run breath major just so you can see more of the fight and as people get more used to it they can swap off. but realistically boss dmg should be high enough even if someone is using breath major the whole time 😛
With prog we had 1 mage combust, 1 vend (1.5min) and an arms warrior did the rest for psy and then a dh with breath
This is for first group
i just exsang'd psychus around 4 stacks or so and it was back up for the boss burn
saved vendetta for boss. mage carried psychus hard enough
Yeah this isn't needed anymore, this was months ago, now we just yolo different builds etc and just hit the kill timer correctly
Jesus 4 months ago
One thing I can say is that we got kill timer consistency from killing 8, even though you can kill after 7 or 6, the actual kill timer is much more consistent if you kill 8 always
ok break time
Our other rogues vhas the vers trinket
and its clapping
his opener with garrote is almost doubling mine
I need to get that trinket
Are you guys killing all the adds or paranoia
If yes, then it doesn't mean anything
But either way it's not the trinket
nah
his burst garrotwe
even though
I ahve 10% more haste
is doing more than me
we are killing adds first
then para
if you are going to ask questions during prog you should be live logging
you can even start right now
wym overwrite
using a non-buffed garrote before the buffed garrote fully ticks
mhh
nvm
I found out why he was
this mf
was using sprint and shadow
to dot spikes
If everything is dying before paranoia it's not important tbh
There really isn't enough hp going around there to make a difference
Only thing you would want a good opener for they're is for fine tuning your parse
But for prog just concentrate on more difficult parts of the fight
The advice in regards to overwriting gars is universal tho
how informative is overall at the end of a key really
i used to think it was a bad metric but it seems suprisingly consistent from key to key for me
If you run the same dungeons with same group and then use it to work out pulls etc it can be helpful for sure but you need to read the damage after being informed about other parts of the run
Most people use the information wrongly
I think overall comparing between two different groups is meh, but within a group its alright
As long as you understand the information it’s fine imo
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sj1VEFUZfTgGALeYLnynVg
is this dps okay for my ilvl? 471
i gotta get proper gear i think
Essences and corruptions yeah
expedient right?
For raids yes
what about m+
If you’re focusing m+ you would go severe/strike
i see. ty ty
It’s a little late to try and gear for that imo
Cause it needs some specific azerite
And that’s a little time gated
Expedient just finished so I think he doesnt have a choice hey
Yeah both kinda doomed
yea pre patch is probably gonna come out before i can get anything
I wouldn't stress about corruptions etc just get ilvl imo
Just get outlaw gear assuming you going to level using outlaw
Yeah
Anything else you get before pre patch can be a bonus
whats assassin stat prio for raids
haste > crit/mast > vers
ty i appreciate ur help
anytime friend
oh wtf lol i mustve equipped them wrong was fist dueling for jokes earlier
👍
ty for telling me 
okay
You do both raid and m+ or focus one?
@balmy condor don't forget to buy your backpack for flex next xpac

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9c6ooAgpHssZGMMjkvXHg4 @strange python for m plus
You could take another EB from helm if you wanted but I would do this build for tyrannical week
ill take a look thank you !

That big boi weapon in the correct hand does wonders
tru
The other hand is like a trex
happens lmao
gear sets help
I did an m+ earlier with a full crit build
but forgot to change out of deeper/exsang
and it was doable
but man it sucked
If I am playing overclocking ring (mecha haste proc) should I time it so I snapshot exsanguinate or just proc it on CD?
it has like 98% uptime with division ring
so it doesn't batter
you don't need to worry about the buff
3 spells version sucks compared to attack from behind, swapping from one to the other was the best shit ever haha
whats a solid corruption(s) to run? i havent played in a bit so im not sure if anything got buffed or nerfed : p
exped raids severe/strike in m+
but uh
good luck getting those in order before prepatch
I would suggest just getting high ilvl stuff
mm im 470 rn and have like 17k echoes saved up, guess from wat ur saying those wont be sold by mother anytiem soon?
Exp just ended
yeah exped was reset to friday/saturday
so they aren't around for like a month
and prepatch in probably less than 2 months tbh
;-; oh welll...
What content do you do?
m+(around level 10 keys), visions, and just world content
since its getting close to prepatch and shadowlands, i dont have much motivation to rlly do raiding or any "harder" m+ keys
Yeah fair enough then, just gear the spec you want to level with then imo
can you get to 100k dps without mythic gear
yes
you're probably not hitting 100k patchwerk without mythic gear unless your gear is otherwise perfect
Me guess 105,700
Azerite and vita gonna knock you down quite a bit
would it make sense to swap spy glass in instead of gcb in m+ maayb
100%
cool
Easy decision
does mythic wrath dagger beat heroic cara dagger
im guessing yes since weapon damage is usually above all else
ok
Just sim it :)
@balmy condor unless I missed something then close! https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/oLne7J7Jh1TZ6F3ZVjwX65
just blame it on neck level
Tru
Prophet
because formless void is good
if you're actually getting the uptime you input into the sim
because you are getting carpal tunnel from all the spamming you are doing
no need for lucid minor
Got enough haste to drop it
Lucid is only good for energy Regen
Get a ton of haste
Now you don’t need it
66% atm
hey it gives almost 500 vers as well
gonna need 2100+ to get it in 2 weeks
Yeah just be good 4head
LUL
because you are getting carpal tunnel from all the spamming you are doing
@vital haven we gonna miss it so bad
It's going to be a long time before sin and destro are as fun as they are now imo
Im getting sad about it getting nuked haha
true
It's not now I'm talking about, it's the slowmo mode we going to be going to as of pre patch
Well... Im just saying that destro and sin are fun af atm because of all the haste
Well. Isnt the norm for it unfortunately
What do you have in mind when you think of a spec
Wym. In general or assa?
Oh
Depends on if you want cast vs melee
Furys been a quick slasher for a while now. Gcdlocked as the casters are
And generally praised for its enjoyable gameplay
Atm
Casters. Dotters always feel busier in aoe
@warm parcel yeah this is true
Yeah I mean we need to be low enough so that when we arnt just fully over capped during lust etc
Aff always felt like it was doing stuff
Regardless of gear
Ive enjoyed dotters for a long time too
Just the aspect of rotting mobs. Not just bashing them
Was my first toon for many xpacs
But
@silent dawn expedient
some more expedient
more expedient
almost finished just few more expedient
Whats the end goal haste wise
Get exp until your ping becomes a problem
If i dont have expedient?
Then get mastery
Is there a runner up
If you dont have expedient, get expedient 
So tentacles / severe /gushing wounds / infinite stars isnt that good?
Infinite stars has been a meme from day one
Severe is decent, tendies are decent. Sim yourself to find the best options of what you have.
Tentacles great, severe ok, gushing wounds great
What base crit haste mastery should i be aiming for?
There is no such thing as base stats.
Stfu hemo
Accuracy rating similar to wowhead commentns

Enchants sockets etc all haste?
Sim yourself
Haste is highest
Use top gear, not stat weights.
What essences do you run
Check pins for the combinations you should aim for, sim yourself to see what to run.

Iight
Hi there! What are the correct sim settings for m+ and raiding? Always patchwerk or has (for example) dungeon slice also some merit?
depends on ur key height
and yeah dslice is pretty scuffed might be somewhat accurate for your weekly 15 but other than that
not really recommended
like this is what dungeon slice gives me
and that is actual dps from 3 chest atal
🤷
Didnt have a Coffee yet
But
You're not upset that your overall is different from the Sim number right?
you mean when you do less dmg in reality?
cus thats 100%normal lol
sim is 100%uptime no mechanics all buffs 5min no movment fight with a decent amount of crits/procs
ofc you wont do your sim dps in reality
we're talking dungeon slice
not patchwerk
its nowhere near close to reality
idk if dslice accounts for affix, pillars or other dungeon mechanics but even without those the dps is not even remotely close to reality
dungeonslice is almost the same tbh lel
like this is more dps than you do in fortified fh with 3eb severe/strikethrough stack and dslice tells to do that with raid build 🤷 idk but personally would never trust this script at all
sim<->reality
ofc, because no player plays 100%, 100% of the time and always does the right decision for max dps
but in patchwerk fights u can see ppl get close to sim dps
or in cleave as well
but dslice is just so poorly off its not even an indicator for what you should gear
dungeon slice is ~2min boss and ~4min mix of big and small adds
level 56 shiv
tb is baseline now
we get MA as a legendary in sl
but we dont know if it will be the best one rn
but its MA, chances are there
yes

@royal lantern ye thats what I meant. I was confused because it seemed that he was upset about not hitting dsclice Numbers, when comparing any Dungeon run to a dslice Sim doesnt make sense in the first place for overall

Its 2020 and ppl still think that a gay is an insult
shit is sad man
W/e
Anyone tried using Reckless Force minor in high keys with expedient build?
Does non crit poison/bleed dmg give u stacks
or just direct ability damage
damn dude
About as direct as you can get it lol
if every non-crit gave you a stack, i'd consider it
but it actually takes a few sec sometimes to get a single stack
like, getting a somewhat unpredictable 4 second 70% crit buff in a spec whose entire damage profile consists of the opener and then 2.20 later isn't very good
Hate it when thrall resets when I want to vanish garrote him
you accept the fact that vanish+solo content just doesnt work most of the time
never!
after years of rogue you do 
u can vanish garrote thrall though
You can vanish anything solo, it's just got a really high failure rate
Yeah so I'm definitely not chancing it on an Vision boss hah
Fuck waiting around for a couple more minutes for CDs hah
Always works on thrall for me
You shouldn't need vanish to melt thrall
need no, but it makes it faster 🙂
you can if you have something for him to hit, like a appendage proc
in my next vision it worked just fine
nah as long as your ping is low enough you can break vanish pretty
how assa looking on PTR? about to move my char over and test some stuff probs
ill give it 7 out of 10 oofs
haha
same as live, replace exsanguinate and CT with slice and dice and some passive shit


human is better than nelf on pvp and pve?
Definitely in pvp
Pretty good PVE too
But I wouldn’t pick based on PVE racials
If you’re asking me what race is better, the chance that it’ll affect you realistically is very low
Pick based on your preference of lore/aesthetic
And it will be okay
ty n.n
Night elf is definitely the move for pvp. Free re
free re is king
Gonna be better with trinkets coming back in SL
Doesnt human racial share CD with pvp trinket/talent?
It does
Ye
Hence why you use a better dmg option trinket in comb with the racial
Oh yea true
cant wait for the salt from pvp players
"IM FORCED too play HUMAN too get beyond 1,4k rating >:CCCCCCCCCC"
amazing
im comming from mage tho
my guild kinda broke at 11/12
wanted someting fresh
if we are gonna reclear old bosses
my mage is bis pretty much anyways
Welcome to the no castbar club
thanks
Where you can jump and run as much as you want and it doesn’t fuck you ober
what do i need to know about the spec?
Varo no
Stop it guys
WhispyrToday at 2:17 PM
Oh
Yuck
why is whypsyr so toxic
as long as you’re maintaining dots
Uhhhh just keep your dots up
The rest kinda falls in place
And then yeah
This is the fisher price of Rogue specs
use tb on cd if you use tb
sometimes people will make sin sound like rocket science though
but it's a pretty easy spec
should i aim for expedient build for raids?
didn't exp 3 vendor just recently happen?
You’re running out of time
so at best, maybe one more round of exp 3
Yep
just buy exp 2/1 i guess
I would honestly just take it easy
or if you have echoes and want to spend them
Buy/craft/LFR anything just to get a feel for the class
got no echoes and rank 15 cloak no upgrades
Yea you’d be playing for experience and comfort not progression
yeah unless if you are trying a new class just to get a feel for things or to see how fun it is
ye that's not happening then lmao
it's not really a great time to re-roll of play a new alt
yea fk
Don’t worry fren
Rogue will be there when your mage gets boring again
Or if you get sick of managing a cast bar

hope prepatch will still be a while so our guild can get CE 👀
gl
wtf is wow meta
new noxxic
so garbage trash.
isnt it just literally taken from logs?
which ofc doesnt mean its a credible source
not sure how many of the systems are working. many classes have terrible/no conduits. i wouldn't put much stock into this.
elemental was a dead spec until 2 weeks ago
shadow got radical changes
i think its just a little too early to be doing dps rankings
but if oyu want to switch to destruction because of this then go off i guess
it says its taken from logs
but it also says its overall from m+ dungeon testing factored in as well
Seemed dodgy to me
at least last time I fucking clicked that shit
even then
its from like 30 second wipe logs
which doesn't mean jack shit
Anyone else like the new blindside changes
yeah feels good
class changes are same as ptr changes
true
is it normal that my infinite stars sims higher than the same level of expedient?
yes
yeah IS sim bait
but maybe now you could run it on Wrathion or Shad'har to mess around
okay, tought so thanks for comfirming
But you gotta run 34% crit for it to work
Soooo I’m reading different things regarding stat priority between mythic plus and raiding. I know sim it, but it shows that haste is not a very desirable trait for m+ while in raid we are recommended to stack it
Do y’all run crit mastery for dungeons? Do I need two sets of gear?
crit vers
Full Mastery 
I had a dungeon run the other day where the assassin rogue still did full expedient
full expedient JY this week is fun 🙂
tank ran 2nd boss in shrine through protection rune and cleansed my big bleeds 
How many%crit you guys run in vision/m+ when rocking 3xSS 3xEB
55-60% is a pretty nice place
I'm running 62% atm
but probably gonna drop a severe
Ok cool then mastery i guess
I have strikethrough but i thought crit/mastery was usually the way to go for eb/ss
Ok ty ill try that then
vers buffs everything
and with how much damage fok/eb does
the mastery is kinda rip
garotte still does a big % of overall for me usually, so mastery isnt terrible i reckon
That mean i could use my outlaw crit/vers gear for eb/ss
Thats cool
but usually on a fort week, fok/eb is like 1.5x the damage
which pot are we suppose to use for the expedient build
focused resolve
tyty
What’s the DPS gain using focused resolve over other pre-pots?
Kk
unbridled still sims higher for a lot of people
Any word on if beta blindside is going to be better than the other two talents? It feels better to play
no balance passes yet
no balance means damage will change
damage will change which means no fucking clue
yo cant you no longer prepot in SL
they changed how pots works
its no longer 1 pot each fight, but 5min cd

won't realisitically change anything
you would still pot at the start of a fight cause full cds
well def will w/the final 2 bosses of the raid
and then probably with cds/lust
it changed a lot
all their enrage timers are built around pot timers
like Sludgefist having a 5.5m enrage
that's specifically so you can get a 2nd pot
how does that change anything
their entire design philosophy has changed around 5m pot timers

that's sort of how long fights were already
you really think they make fights so you BARELY get it in enrage timer down all the time?
long fights before you just had 1 pot.
we talk about blizzatd here pal
you now have 2 pots on a fight 10m+ long
they dont even know how much dmg 99%of all classes can do lmao
ye especially rogues 
well when the pots are a pretty large dps increase due to their synergy with oils, yeah it's kinda insane and they have to design around it
just because they can be bad at designing around things doesn't mean they don't
also oils only have a 10m duration 
can't wait to have to re-apply that in the middle of Sire
Has anyone asked today whether or not rogue will be good in SL?
There's always someone who asks daily.
any good assa m+ builds out there?
crit/vers 3ss 3eb
I mean, sometimes 1 SS does sim higher
2 SS sims 0.3% lower than 2 TTK for me 🤔
Dropping my one DD for a 3rd SS is only 0.1% less off that
Maybe I should drop a TTK for an SS
For m+?
no raid
What kind of macros do you guys use, for the ease of gameplay
tricks macro
and macro for trinket + vendetta
some people have a blind macro I guess too
but that seems meh
no
macro's also would need to be pressed
So a macro that casts a skill, which you need to press, so that you don’t have to press

so looking at wcl, it's probably not worth it to take botd on nzoth right
it makes psychus easier, it's not that bad
guild's going for a last minute push starting tomorrow's cd, wanna prepare a bit
you can also snipe psychophages during Shattered Ego then use it on N'Zoth
you always wanna use it before a target dies. you get a shorter cd if it dies within 2s of you using it rather than if its the killing blow
yeh i use breath on all sorts of world content
but like, i think there's a burn phase at the end of the fight right
last 20 seconds?
would i want to take blood to burst nzoth harder for that phase
there's multiple burn phases where you want to tunnel the boss as hard as possible, the lower he gets during those the easier that last burn is
if you really need botd for the synapses, you can, but it's usually not necessary
i mean we wanna hit him whenever we can actually deal dmg, but in this one guide they say there's a hard dmg check at the end
like you give up the last soak, let ur sanity deplete, and use the dmg buff to just pump boss?
there is, i'm just saying there's less hp to burn if you're doing proper timings on the p1 burn phases
yes
so that's still how it's done with everyone at full corruptions and sockets, oof
The hard damage check can be helped a bit. You dont want to push him to 25% before the portal to the extra phase shows up. If you push him to 25% before the portal, he will go immune. If you hold dps for a bit and then wait for the portal to appear you can get another ~10%-ish before going into the portal
