it simed dd being slightly better
but idk if thats actually the case
cause cleave etc
it changes depending on access to gear
Then i restored it for the 1k tr
what are the best azerite traits for arena pvp?
and im guessing gushing is still the best corruption
Has there been any idea on what the covenenat will be for Sin, or we waiting for more finalized numbers?
bone spike atm is overtuned to shit
kyrian is dead
night fae has potential
and slaughter poison is janky but depends on tuning
Seems like it's still a waiting game, thanks for the reply
always has been
^
half of sub is bugged
fair enough, it just seems like a lot of classes already have a set cov they're determined will be the go-to
for the moment
yeah, though rather not
and tuning happens
so if they've determined a go-to
they're probably saying for now
and not for live
cause no one know what'll happen until live
Covenants seem like a potential shit show
that is indeed the biggest concern of sl
How do you guys manage single target energy regenaration? Is pooling way to go? Is there a way in which I can keep spamming mutilate?
If you're haste build you don't have to worry about that
I can max my haste to 60s but still would have problems I believe
that seems wrong
60s in haste is more than enough
are you using lucid?
or has that left your sim
I have lucid, I haven't hasted in a bit, I have it as my minor
rank 3
simmed^
not hasted lol
yeah then you should be drowning in energy
Okay, ill double check maybe I am doing smth wrong
Best assassin M+ trinkets?
depends on build
crit mast
or vers crit
with a crit build, plumage spyglass
but if you're eb stacking
try and get rid of mast
Are people still running crit vers high key builds?
in high high keys, they run crit vers with versatiles
What about 15-20 whats optimal
haste builds strictly just don't work past like 26/27

depends on dungeon and comp
okay if im not trying to have 15 gear sets and I wanna play with the boys
that actually isn't a different question
that still isn't an answer lmao
Like what is gonna be the generic most effective build
for just random keys
with randoms
if you're doing random keys with randoms
on tyran
you're gonna probably see more with a haste build
and it does fine in fort
if you're trying to aoe pump, you go crit
but it'll suck on tyran
kk yea
like idk what you're expecting
yeah you right, sorry
I think we should all play blindside and exsang with a full mastery build
that sounds fun
Sounds like someone has inside knowledge.
raz told me the secret
The future of assassin..
currently at 60% base haste.. what should my major/minor essences be? currently im using bote major, memory/formless void/breath minor
that's a sim question
figured
but that's a very typical setup
I'm a CLF major boy.
I have seen the light.
Except when fucks pull before timer is over

what the cutoff for haste like 80%?
ok ok
im at 85% and it feels like i have too much energy
Yep, happens
as long as it sims higher
should be seeing some other gems/enchants popping up
I wouldn't be surprised if you saw crit gems and masterful instead of quick nav for example
I see a lot of parses switching of mem of LD to formless void. Is there a certain general haste % y'all do that or is it just b/c Carapace is pretty grouped together?
Yuh just keep simming
What uptime do you put on the Symbiotic Presence uptime? Just the standard 90% or go lower?
Mmk I'll run with that. Thanks!
Does it matter if I run Quick Nav in my main/off hand? Will it always just be random sim variance?
Which dagger it’s on has no effect
https://i.imgur.com/O33TsNF.png gonna feel so weird to drop my beautiful haste
because other stats start to get better
that's how it works
the like full BiS people don't have haste gems anymore
yeah was at 89% unbuffed so was time to drop some
its like crit/vers/mast gems
just hadnt looked into it yet
find it very hard to not overcap haste at burst/exsang stages with that amount anyway
for ctf it wants me to put the haste gems back though z.z
dumb question, what are the best pots for sin rogues right now in raids? just dusted off my rogue
thx
hold vanish on xanesh for soccer phase adds?
garrote 2nd/3rd because theyll live longer?
I wouldnt hold cds for them
what if im trying to padd
They die really fast with current gear
bleh
Garrote doesnt get full benefit from it especially if youre running and shadowstepping around
arent you assigned to a kick?
nope
what a dream
does anyone have any strong opinions on whether to play ctf or bote on carapace progress? been using bote since its a bit more flexible and bursty in p2 aswell
Personally I'm not really sure it's worth regemming in most cases but kinda depends on what the stats on your gear look like
At least for my gear it's basically within error margin even at high precision sims
Mine blows out to like 200dps
Clf it's still a haste fiesta but blood the gems move away
broke 100k sim dps woo
so less than a neck level
Next question is whether I can be fucked doing hm and an exp2 over exp3 full house
For a similar amount of dps
I think I'll just prefer less corruption
i set up one dagger with GW and one with HM3
lol
or will, the dagger's clean until next week when i can run it and be under 40
dumb question but is the raden wep meme thing still a thing?
Not in my group, adds die way too fast
never really was a thing
fair enough
i'm running a crit build for mythic+, and I have a 455 dagger with a gem slot that totals 95 crit on the weapon, and I also have a 465 weapon with zero crit. One of these will be my offhand (main is a 465 with some crit). Which one would you guys run?
I'd run the 455 with a socket
offhand ilvl is pretty w/e
sockets are kinda big tho
yeah, that's what i figured, thanks!
dagger isnt real
How many kills you at
dont know, but we had 3 rogues all roll and havent seen one for three weeks
just sitting here looking at 97 parses and no daggers. /wrist
Yeh, low drop rate need to kill more
i just want my epeen parses with big daggers
sitting on HM3 and Exp3 because i know the second i put em on these shitters the big boys will drop
i'm not even gonna get to use them
we're done raiding prolly lol
unless we land more sales
rip
yes
you're still 100 in my heart nairda
Blame the others for being slow
Did you get buff for other parse? My 97 is no buff because I'm bad at remembering to collect red swirlies until there isn't any left
@vital haven I miss raiding with you 
good times
God id never seen roster boss be that strong until that guild
“So uh check friends lists for anyone who can do beckon?”
“Billy is unsaved on his uldir geared druid attttac”
If CT is simming 1 to 3k less than Poison bomb is it just better to use CT due to not relying on RNG?
3k is kinda huge
Nah pb just sucks
but generally if its pretty close
And haste makes ct better to cast
then yeah
It’s basically a little more dmg/execute than envenom if you already have envenom buff right
Just from tooltips alone
Yer im sitting at 48% haste unbuffed
I smell a TTk trait
@eager ibex got a topgear sim handy?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/39X6E6ToizSFCehn3psQ4N
corruption will b gone b4 i finish mine lol xd
I would swap if I were you
i did already yee
Heyo! Ive got some questions about assa and Mythic Nzoth. Ive killed Nzoth alrdy multiple tunes on my dh and often I'm in 1st psychus phase. After gearing up my rogue (haste build) I want to bring it. Is there any best way how to play psychus 1 and where to use coolies in this fight? If theres a guide for reference I'm also fine to read that.
Cookie will depend on healers CDs
Meant coolies damn autocorrect haha
So first basher and then always on nzoth?
That's what we all do now but it wasn't always like this for prog but if you guys have it on farm then yeh always nzoth for me
Depending on kill timer you can cloak the evoke after secret
Or the one after that for more dps
Ye I'll have to immune the soak before secret as well idk if cloak is up by then.
But the one after it I think it should be up.
Cloak the first fire mechanic when you go down
@fallow otter
Do you mean the first flames here?
You can feint evoke, helps if you want to stack it
Yep first flames I cloak, lasts full duration and helps if you are one of the kickers and tricksing adds
You can CC 2 mobs for the mind grasp also
Very easily
Cool. Thanks for answering!
doesnt ur sanity still get cucked if u shroud the flames?
nop
guys i finally got gorak tuls shourldes but dont know why they are simming 300 less dps than the mechagon shoulders :S
cause mecha shoulders are sick
that's the whole point of immuning it lol
that's why you're taken
^
ya im a topside only cuck in my guild
so i assumed flames had the same interaction as psychos
@balmy condor but i thought gorak tuls are bis :S
not for everyone
wow thats rly sad XD
:o
well now i am rly rly mad xD
Yea im in a new guild progging on cara so it's 5 min sim @fallow otter https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/c2pmnnzN8JYXwrnLz5h91c
True
are you really supposed ct if the mut after vendetta in the opener is 5 cp?
yes
how much of a difference are we talking
minimal
i would have thought the time lost on the garrote part of the exsang would make that not make sense
very interesting
Sim is outdated I have 39 corrupt I upgraded not long ago
aren't you the sim guy
I am indeed the sim guy
lol
no do me 
doesn't corruption make ilvl bracket ratings in warcraft logs a little bit inaccurate
@eager ibex you can probably get more, I was trying to get you away from DD lol
or at least not that even a comparison
ah
lmao
the shoulders are super weird
you don't like the 480 pvp shouldres?
who puts dd/ttk + ss on shoulders, blizzard pls
cmon that's the best part
oh he has clf3
that feels cheaty
we're not doing that
well
found another 1100
but I cba going any harder
me thinks I can probably get 104 maybe if I try really hard
or just use clf

Im an exp slave
Just kept his corruptions
And gear
have you gambled shoulders at all
Went straight for build, gems and Azerite
lol yo guys doing 3 min sims
@balmy condor 
I'll sim you a 12 minute nzoth
would you prefer that
that's toxic
I'm kidding
I'll give you a 5 min hold on
Lol
Ya I have 2 or 3 different item sets one for heroic./fast kills and atm just sussing longer kill times since my guild is stuck on carapace
You should switch to whispers sim, using CT and blood imo
And its a bit scuffed because I only started BFA about 3 month ago and originally was gearing for arena, hence the gushing wounds 😛
Whispers sim?
yeah idk who this whisper guy is
Auto correct means is you
Ohh you mean the one you linked hahaha I thought you talking about a website or something
Okay, cheers guys ❤️
they're all surprisingly close
Yeah thats the struggle rn XD
Any prepatchbuilds?
no
stinky 
lol
i have so much haste in my set
sub's gonna be hyper fast
gonna have to swap some shit
Pre type !assassination in bot channel in preparation
i'll prolly play everything tbh, sin even felt fine with alacrity + blindside
prepatch is the only time you can play everything effectively anyway 😭
how do you guys sim for m+?
5-6 target 1min
i miss hemorrage for some reason
But @crimson palm is right here
It’s the same thing
Both are rogue fantasies
And both are old and boomer

wow

is it patchwerk 5-6 targets?
what is a good number to aim for for that kind of sim?
Oh the apl is completely fucked for aoe
DPS number and most gearing things are kinda big ???
Cause it’s pretty inaccurate
I wouldn’t worry bout it
It gives a general idea
Just like dungeon slice would give you a general idea
But most m+ stuff is feely-crafted
I know it gives a feeling, but still
If im simming 200k and some big boi is simming 400k I would like to know
6 target 1 min with raid buffs enabled lands me at 300k
cool, thanks
What are the highest people are simming for assa currently? (while staying under 60 preferable)
120 for 5min
who is even fighting 6 targets for 1 min??
I mean, off the top of my head, ryfie and probably most people doing anything higher than like a 23
question about aoe opener,G1 G2 G3 R1 FoK Env BotE 5xFoK. R1, do you want that to be full combo points, and the Env?
Doesn’t matter tbh
So stick to that opener, yeah?
Also if you're using ss like you should be that first finisher after g3 will automatically be full CPs
I didn't know it was standard/baseline, I'm just messing around on my rogue because i woke up early >.<
@low girder SS as in system shock the pvp talent?
Meaning shrouded suffocation
That's why I was like, what? But i couldn't find what matched the SS acronym.
I think I just had a system shock
But ye
Ss is kinda massive in m+ especially
Our best trait by far
Can someone explain what the G1 G2 etc is referring to pls?
Garrote
Thank you.
Np
So this might sound stupid, but when doing dungeon slice poison bomb is nearly always better than tempest (low gear/465)
Does the sim tale into account how random PB is?
Like it pops at the beginning of a pack like 1 in 10 cases
Most of the time it procs when 1-3 mobs are left
Do you have ttk equipped
Twist the knife
Envenom trait
I don't think so, does it matter fir poison bomb?
It does that even in dungeon slice?
Well it definitely doesn’t help it
I'm not currently simming sorry, im working. I just did some sims sone time ago and remembered to ask
Don’t remember the apl off the top of my head
Whisp go bed.
I will when you manage to hit 100k sim
Blood of the enemy major essence would be better i guess
And Potion of Focused Resolve for ST instead of Unbridled Fury
also mechagon rings
blood r3 and potion improve sim by 800
Then you could actually go to sleep :D
How are people reaching 115k-125k?
i know 2 expedients more is 104k dps, are the extra 5 sockets that big?
and mechagon rings also huge?
if I wanted to listen to a scott yell about things I already know I'd call my dad
wdym he has 13 years of top 100 raiding experience
except that he has 0 hall of fame achievements
🤷

say my rupture is at 22, and garrote is at 12, and exang comes off CD. should i reapply fresh garrote and 5/6cp rupture, and exang? or wait until they reach pandemic and hold exang until both are reapplied to get above 25 and 15?
refresh for max duration
reapply both
ok so wowanalyzer gets kinda wonky in that regard since we are applying "too fast" to get exang on CD faster right
wowanalyzer doesnt work for assaa
ok, thank you
guys wuld u switch all striketruhs for expediant?
for tyranical
you can just play full expedient in any affix
but especially for tyrannical its good
but keep no severe then at all?
I tihnk you can safely get away with 2-3 severes max
you only need to hit like 50%ish (resting)
that said I'm coming around to haste in Dungeons.
with prepatch coming soon, should i get Severe (now) gushing (next tues) or expedient (tues after this next)
i cannot seem to sim over 80k with any combination of gushing expedient or severe - at 98 corruption since my cloak is a little low
if you're still focused on raiding def go full expedient
its far and away the best
i'd wait for it
my 1 infinite stars rank 3 seems to be holding it's own against 'predecited' 7 stack expedient
both are around 72-75k dps
it can, and stars is simbait p hard, rng pull to pull and REALLY rng on the last couple of fights
but the damage can be good
is severe still decent in raid tho? like enough to play crit build and be ok. or is it not the best for M+ much anymore
as in, if i'd like to succeed as much as i can in both before prepatch. since i really only have IS corruption right now
its aight, some people do a mix of severe and expedient in raid, but the expedients are more important to make the SS and xsang worth taking
crit is much more important in dungeons
but it's not bad in raids
quite a few people do really well by having like half and half exp severe
Point for point, expedient will be better on average. But using a mix of another corruption instead may only lower dps by 100-500... maybe 1000 dps at best. And when you are pulling 100k over 3 minutes.... fight mechanics will cause more issues to your dps than corruption
you can just use raidbots to determine what of your corruptions are the best
so buying 4-5 severes right now, will help boost my DPS now and benefit me in both. i just don't wnat to hold out on doing more dps until sept 8 then prepatch comes 2 weeks after or something
i have been @tropic ocean
you should not buy 4-5 severes
numerous 5.5mil combinations
crit dr's really hard
you buy 3 and fill the rest with strikethrough
you only want like 2-3 severes really
4 at max
ok
Any guides for sin rogue pvp
Bgs
And dueling
sounds like it's best to hold out until sept 8 for stacking expedient
it says for arenas
probably yeah
and the other one is for pve
you need 45.000 to do all ur gear
i've got 1 currently . so just 40 😄
oh last question here, does the expedient haste exang SS build struggle in AOE for m+?
Yes and no...
no it doesnt
or should i have a secondary set of gear wtih Echoing blades traites
it cant compete in high target count aoe (like td first pull)
but its superior in cleave
Like SS + EB pieces are BiS... but you can do quite well with just SS
superior in prio, superior in boss
The hardest part is getting restealthed... so if the tank just chain pulls, thats where it becomes hard.... Shadowmeld and Vanish though can help that out
awesome. thanks for the help here
SS/hod/bbi build pumps even in big aoe if the fight isn't too long
with full expedient though... and just SS traits... the only classes that beat me regularly are mages and hunters. sometimes a DK or DH
so on low keys, assuming you don't chainpull, you can burst 400-500k
@main forge that depends on players a lot 😄 i did a +24 waycrest a few days ago with a frost DK doing 180k overall
Will exsanguinate works after prepatch with corruptions gone?
work? yes. good? no
i've seen full expedient do shit tons of damage, but my sims for it are garbage and it makes me wonder what is wrong
guessing my 445 off hand isn't helping
exsanguinate is a dead talent in SL unless they retune it
Ic
rip xsang it was a good run
xsang seems to come hard and then go to shit in spurts
there's 0% chance we get enough haste for it if they keep their word and don't add systems upon systems
@vast forum I have seen just straight good players that know their class inside and out just straight up rail on meta classes
yes, rail on bad players of meta classes
one thing you really need to keep mind is that in many cases
its bad to do more aoe
good players on bad classes can't do 230k overall dps like a good fire mage can
^
Group DPS and group mechanics...
Individual dps numbers are based on who u bring
in siege for example you will do btter with raid build than echoing
My dmg is much higher without a firemage
especially when playing with hunter and firemage
But my groups is lower
doesn't matter that you spike to 500k dps when you all die in sanquine puddles and earthquakes
the more you can let your hunter aoe the better your group dps will be
compared you doing 20k more overall
that makes sense
as a rogue... you can lose DPS by utilizing stuns and using our control too
I have kidney shot some pulls instead of putting up 3x SS
same in most siege packs if u play with bm hunter
you don't want to echo the adds away
Ae a rogue i try to do the least amount of interrupts so i can blast more /s
so it isn't uncommon for us to be lower / lowest on the dps
its not uncommon
Unless its workshop im usually last on dmg for my key group. But i have to do a whole lot of bullshit
depending on key height and group
even if i'm runnign with an arms warrior + bm hunter
I think junk and workshop are the only ones i play sin for as well
Junk i can actually beat firemage if i get good pulls
Until last boss pack tho
Then they cheese the buff
arms warrior + bm hunter + me + brm monk is our comp right now. and without any corruption besides IS i was about 20mil behind the warrior decked in expedient
some pulls i do more , and bosses i did way more
but aoe just struggled with just IS
Warrior should destroy u
Warrior is prob the best dps melee
They just dont do a whole lot else
And cant live in higher keys
you shouldnt really worry about overall
IS is really bad tho
focus on boss, prio,interrupts, cc
and if your group has some brain cells they will like you for it
ive never seen a good warrior in the 23-25 keys range :-)
Ya they die too much in that range
the goal should be to time the key
U bring a rogue to simp for ur mage
and not to do the most overall
if you look at the logged r1 keys noone cares about rogue or dh dmg
they are solely supports for mage
doing 50% or less in some instances
of what mage dps does
warrior has huge burst potential... I seen a warrior do a 5 mask vision in quite less than 30 minutes early on with less corruption.... pulling 100k the entire time straight chain pulling.... and it takes me upwards of 40 minutes.... and being quite methodical about it
It still takes u 40mins?
you can also do some nice things with iron wire
Not sure, it has been a minute >_>
I had 5masks down to like 20 and i thought it was slow
especially noteworthy in shrine
I fucking go slow as hell and look for everything. I'll have to give it a go and see how I do.
definately dont need a rogue for a high shrine xd
we do get a 7 second stun... with a 6 combo point kideny
the first few pulls on shrine are one of the scenarios where assa is in my opinion superior to outlaw
We are required for TD tho :p
when it comes to control
Outlaw is better for the giga snap tho
IMO
Since u can hook back up
The 4 caster snap
U can make a route for it tho for sure
TD and Atal are the real big ones where outlaw shines over sin IMO
The rest it doesnt really matter a whole lot
why atal
Huge snaps and vanish being needed
It feels bad to sit on vanish a lot as sin for me
Atleast for my group doing atal with the middle pack snap outlaw was a lot better
outlaw probably does pump better for that pack
And we snap a lot onto rezan so outlaw is better dps for that
We dont even do dmg for that snap
I snap mid and 2 saurids and then snap 3 saurids right after when tricks back up
I miss all the aoe
Is there any addons you guys can advice me to use? for pvp / gearing up
Do u only pvp?
well i do try to get mounts whenever i see an easy one
and yeah pretty much i only play bgs
is there anything else to do in the game beside roleplaying furries?
U dont really need anything tbh if thats ur only content
Theres raiding, m+, arena
Some more stuff
He doesnt do arena
whats is your ST dps while in m+ gear? im simming at 74k :/ seems way to low
Also, raid only has 1 crit vers piece :/ sucks
how long is your sim for ST?
It should be like 3 minutes at most
or rather; if you're doing a full 5-6 min sim in m+ gear to sim for a m+ boss; even on tyr its going to look very low.
I Wasn’t able to catch the rogue round table yesterday. Any major takeaways?
stuff's very broken, class is good enough baseline, dev communication is abysmal
so about the same as the previous betas.
nothing out of the ordinary
Nzoth (mythic) uptime: I have roughly 53% uptime in nzoth damage and parse green. Other than the timing for when I vendetta with my teams comp for damage to tentacles/shattered phase, where am I missing damage uptime? I don’t go down for psychus, either set and typically line up my vendettas to fit each shatter and have it timed to have 5 throughout the fight. Also, is it worth at all to bust out a BOTE with an ex sang in a circumstance where I can’t pump with vendetta then hold for next pump on nzoth?
my sim for that 74k was for 3 min
no lust or shout or monk buff
its 89k with all buffs
So I asked earlier how much people manage to sim while staying under 60 corruption and was told around 120, any ideas as to what I can do to improve mine? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iyJsQpExgWJyGJXWaxvXBc
is honed mind rank 3 really that good? on a 465 vers/mast its simming like 3k higher than a 475 haste/mastery with expedient rank 3
no one sims 120 on 5 minutes under 60 unless every piece is 475
did you ask them if they're talking about 3min or 5min sim? lol
no one sims 5 anymore
it was earlier today and they said 5 min
125-130k on 3 mins is more reasonable
Only items I dont have 475 is the mechagon rings because, well, reasons
101k dps 3 minute sim with honed mind rank 3 on 465 boots vers/mast, then with 475 boots hast/mastery Expedient rank 3 92k...
honed mind adding 8k dps for real?
oh I lost HoD i drop to 21 corrupt
and 120k sim in 5min is pretty much endgame gear
120k in 5min under 60 is legit not doable tho unless uve rng’ed m+ pieces at 475
im like 99% sure
or uve farmed HoA level
its usually more like 116-118
yep
or if you use infinite stars which is a sim trap?
duh
At 79 corr it's doable with a neck level around 98-99 (no clf)
well
i think u can do it with 9exp and blood if ur heart level is that high
pretty sure its like 700-800dmg per level at this point
and i think i sim around 117k 5 mins with neck 92ish
just wondering, what makes bote sim better than clf for some people anyways
certain amount of haste?
fight duration
multiple things really
a 3m sim only gets 1 clf, a 5m sim gets 2.
on 3-5 mins clf should sim better though, it's just preference prob
2nd clf is worth a lot
and the fac tthat blood is a lot more valuable on multi target encounters also
clf @ 3mins with no fight variance sims literally 3 dps better so I suppose I should just use it whenever it makes sense to?
my gear is far from amazing tho so that's 117k @3min
Opinions on best major essence when you don’t have BoE or CLF? (don’t PVP and only started raiding recently with Nya course I’m 12/12 heroic now)... I’ve done a lot of rotating between majors and can’t tell a huge real world diff. Probably WVR with friends or BotD maybe?
Why would it not be better to garrote twice then rupture?
then you get a 5cp rupture?
extra tick of garrote
garrote tick + a pandemic rupture
What’s a pandemic rupture?
See, I’m not the only one lol... needs to be explained better somewhere 🤪
Basically if you refresh a dot before it expires, up to 30% of its time is added to the new dot
So garrote -> rupture -> garrote -> vendetta -> mutilate -> rupture -> Exsang gives you a 30% longer empowered garrote and 30% longer rupture for your Exsang
what happens if u dnt run exsang
Still gives you longer dots
So you can put more envenoms in toxic blade windows
Unless it is an Exsang bleed (which you want to let it expire) the idea is you want to refresh your dots close to the 30% timeframe... but with SS you want that longer empowered garrote and the extra tic. All this is single target talk though.
On multi target in M+ I garrote 3-4 diff targets (3 empowered and silencing) CT, and FoK if 4+ targets, or just do single target rotation after aoe opener if at 2-3 targets
I’m no master of the rogue, just picking it up in the last month or so, but this has worked for me
stupid question but what's ct
Crimson Tempest talent
CT is great for AoE, but poison bomb is just as decent. The Exsang/CT build needs a bit of haste
I also run iron wire in M+ for the extra silence time, but that row is more of less what you want to take
guys wuld u go dungeons with just 1 eb to favor single target?
u dont need haste on exsang build for m+
3ss is good enough reason to run it
fitting nearly the entirety of your SS into BotE windows is absurd
I run 1 EB, 3 SS in M+
Mostly tried it due to a piece that didn’t have anything better to trait than the 1 EB
i run 2 and 2
Luck of the RNGesus gives me what it does
just roll better loot 4 head
is that outa necesity or preference tmb? i cant really think of anything I consider better than SS
where u run 0? like sob?
Sob and workshop/Kr depending on affix
I also run iron wire in M+ for the extra silence time, but that row is more of less what you want to take
@dark citrus in dungeon its 100% iron wire cuz 2 other options are shit
IB is playable imo. Ironwire is better for sure tho
It’s the only one worth taking imho at all on the row, but other people have opinions as well.
well it also just isn't the silence but the damage reduction too
True true
Ib is 0
It does nothing besides giving you dmg
Iw gives extra silence x3 which is control wise superior in every way
IB's value is not dumpstering your damage anytime you have to be the one to stun something
if you play solo maybe
think IB will work with the legendary in SL?
If you play in group silencing 3 targets for longer
Longer silence is less need for stunning
IB is great in pvp
also 3 targets > 1 target
does the garrote silence even have dr
I dont want to continue defending IB, cause i agree wire is better but you're ignoring the fact that garrote silences without wire. IB just enables you to hit kidneys on things like the maggots or whatever without feeling bad. alleviates a bit of the pressure off not having as much util as an outlaw
Why would you feel bad hitting no ib kidney on maggot
Thats just flaw in logic
Besides ud only use low cp kidney anyway
CC + Mechanics > DPS
not trying to argue either but also that extra 3 seconds allows the other dps and tank to get a little more dmg in and prepare for the interrupts coming.
i wish IB was more useful
to get some change
depending on fight/mob type
making it more useful in pve
I mean we all wish each talent row was an actual choice
might make it even more broken in pvp
I mean less bad is a better term
i def use KS to control shit in M+ pugs just cause im not gonna trust that some random i havent talked to is gonna stop maggots
you dont not kidney things just cause u dont have IB
i mean in terms of group damage PoTW might be better than IB, but that will require everyone to switch to that add
but like on a macro scale if you're playing Assa > outlaw its for the damage
Aight fam
from what ive been told people bring me for IW
ok
the goal of a m+ dungeon should be timing the key
rest is non relevant
unless your enjoyment solely comes out of having the highest dmg
🤷
sure
if you feel bad using a gcd for utility instead of output, you just havent wiped enough keys cause no one wanted to spend a gcd to stun a cast
every time other char than fmage or bm is logged = feelsbadman
all im saying is that you play assa > outlaw cause either a) its more fun or b) it does more damage. theres classes with better single target stuns in our own spec pool, so like IB takes pressure off of playing assa > outlaw without compromising the reason you play it 🤷♂️. again its playable. not better
Same logic as when healers say I didn't heal that guy because he got hit by avoidable damage
thats not a reasoning to not take your best talent in a row though
iron wire turns garrote into a 18 second 3 target cast control ability
yall just focusing on "feels bad" cause idk why
because a talent won't fix a mindset
everything that makes something easy for your group is a feelgood, not a feelbad
a reason to take ib over iw would be some interaction that makes the stun longer or is off dr
or anything
dmg sadly is not
Better is directly proportional to "makes completing the content better" not more optimal in a scenario where all players play optimally
need to get infex to become a coach for wow
and preach group dps >>> individual dps
for 150$/customer
you need to chill dude
who is infex?
okay now i know youre a troll
is iron wire better than prey on the weak for group dps tho
okay now i know youre a troll
@storm forum ?
yeah i see that delete
i guess its nice in that it makes your tank take 15% less damage from a big add
Most of the time it doenst even do that
the DR doesnt go on if its immune to the silence
and again im not saying wire is bad
the amount of mobs in M+ immune to silence is pretty small isn't it
yeah
its stuff like min bosses, the ele in shrine, etc.
def in SL everything can be silenced except mini bosses
one of my fav part of IW is the DR on a big pull cause you can go open 3x garrote -> Shadowmeld -> 3x garotte -> vanish -> 3x garotte
from my testing
shrine is probably the best example for how good iw is
def helps out tanks
because of the caster presence
Is night elf a big dps gain
best use case of IW is UR
yeah last week with sin rogue, ez teeming cast group pulls
in ad last week
I just solo left pull
2 confessor + augur
might not be applicable on keys higher than 24
but on <24 or lower
no problem
you cant restealth with shadowmeld on bosses so on ST its pretty negligible, but on trash its 3 more garottes @urban gale
but tbh its kinda finicky for getting restealths so dont depend on them
like where they're facing, if they have detector, stuff like that can make shadowmeld not drop combat

its very small but not sure exactly how small
i dont remember, you just sort of get a feel for it after doing like 100 M+
i know that you could distract and shroud behind void emissary on atal right boss pack in front
and that was a very small gap
so somewhat +- 8yards id say
what would a good yes i can aaaaah mhm okay
how much sanity are you supposed to loose when stacking in nzoth fight with paranoia?
my guild stacks w some paranoia and I legit loose 90+ sanity each time
whats the problem thats causing that?
like everyone is loosing htat much
i know this will come as a shock, but stacking with paranoia makes you lose sanity
isnt the max 75
5x15
dont stand in anguish then
I am not
the only other mechanic that can cause a sanity loss at that point is thots
so you cant loose more than 75?
no
even if you dont properly stack?
like if guys walk in and out of your cirle every .1 sec?
it doesnt matter
thats why people stack because it was changed like 5months ago
100 sanity and 2 necks and a single paranoia is losing all your sanity 🤔
felt like it yea
was on like 90 and my sanity dropped like a bitch and I was in the middle of the group
and we used 2 necks but I was loosing sanity quicker than I was getting in w 2 necks being used
idk what happened there
if you have logs just go over the replay of the fight
Bad
pretty bad
It was good in s3 for gorgonzola thats it
do you mean pvp maybe?
nah m+
HoD is just better than scent
You will do a lot better with 3ss/3eb or 3ss 3hod
by the time it would start too gain value your bleeds would drop off + you would not do dmg in all that time you apply bleeds
oh can i get eb on 465 azerite gear?
Np
Just had a thought about how wonky sepsis would be in solo content, cause if you vanish, it'll reset whatever you were stabbing
Correct
That’s actually one of the things that people disliked about it at the start
Outdoor content with it is awful
nobody gives a fuck about world content
do people complain about blood and clf in world content?
i give a fuck about world content
@patent topaz you cant complain about blood in world content because it just 1hit kills most stuff with the cast itself lel
nightstalker doesnt buff it, at least from what i've seen
which would have made the combo lovely
if you didnt /pet your azerite golem while doing world content idk what you were doing
I would actually say a lot of people care
Because “nobody” is most of the community
noo dont give in to the trollll
The people you find in here are the pve heroes
its the cov defining cd that when it runs out before the mob dies will just reset the mob
world content is the worst argument
imagine how infuriating that is
Worst argument for what
just gotta game it so that the end of dot damage proc kills
impact on overall usability
does anyone have a screenshot of the first batch of neurons that you ahve to clear?
for my guild to see who should kill what
people whine about every single little thing
who was whining about sepsis?
world content, give me a break
