Is there ever a case for using the MA talent over subterfuge?

south drum
#

I'll take your word for it beside only doing sin in torghast anyways

stoic needle

Lol NVM

Shrouded suffocation in time walking felt great Sinscheme

main forge
#

yeah I vendored all my gear... sad that I did

#

also didn't spend my last titan residuum either probably could have gotten that nice echoing blades gear too

spice spire
#

You can do item recovery, I ended up doing that for it. Turns out it was a huge boost

main forge
#

maybe for the firelands raid....

#

the trinkets there look just as OP

#

although Ulduar being like a million bosses and firelands being only 7... is funny.... Firelands has to be the shortest full raid tier in number of bosses

spice spire
#

Time walking dropped a shit ton of loot though. So even with just 7, it’ll be nice. I’m excited for ragnaros again

main forge
#

Yeah but need for 200 level gear is dwindling and will be gone by then

#

Anyone else hoarding soul ash in the unlikely event Assassination gets the buff it deserves?

vestal wren
#

you could fairly fast craft a rank 1-2 if that happens

#

but we haven't seen any balance changes at all

#

there is a chance we won't see them fairly soon

Just been using 190 Master Assassin on sub and getting by.

is council this weeks raidfinder?

Hi guys, would you say aplpying your rupture or slice n dice is higher up on the priority?
im new, but when i open i usually try to get my slice n dice up first before i apply rupture. Not sure if that's right

balmy condor
#

Slice

cosmic trail
#

Does anyone pvp as sin?

robust pine
#

well... i did a little, but not sure i can give any advice

#

most of my experience as sin on arena is hearing from teammates "So you gonna switch to sub to oneshot enemies or what?"

cosmic trail
#

lmao

#

but did you swap tho

robust pine
#

no

#

well, not yet

#

i am not sure my friends will take me if i keep going sin

#

we played 2x2 and 3x3 for two days and never meet sin or outlaw rogue

cosmic trail
#

cuz everybody expects everyone to play meta

stoic needle
#

Nothing wrong with sin in pvp

#

It's probably going to end up being better than sub in the long term especially if it gets some buffs, it can burst just as hard(but not as often) but has way better consistent pressure

#

The whole 420 no scope one shot meta will be dead once people get a healthy amount of vers

strange python
#

in 2s is inferior to ww and war in term of pressure

#

same for 3s

#

there's no reason to take a sin over a war or ww

stoic needle
#

Well obviously, but nobody is comparing rogue to the obviously imbalanced pvp classes

#

This is about comparing rogue specs to eachother for pvp

strange python
#

the problem is that when I take sin to 1.8 that's all I'm facing in 2s

stoic needle
#

You playing any other spec isn't going to change that

strange python
#

ww, war, ww, war, and rarely a rogue/mage

stoic needle
#

If that's what you're worried about just reroll

strange python
stoic needle
#

It's a rogue problem not a sin problem

strange python
#

what are you talking about RMP is a S tier comp

#

and I'm pretty sure the R stands for something

stoic needle
#

So then why are you complaining about warrior and ww

strange python
#

because you are talking about sin

#

not rogue in general

#

and sin is pressure based

#

unlike sub

stoic needle
#

I'd agree that sin isn't quite meta just yet but like I said I don't expect it to stay that way

strange python
#

I'm at 208 and envenom hits way too low for what's necessary

#

so unless they buff either envenom damage or overall damage I'm not seeing changes soon

balmy condor
#

Idk, nightstalker MA envenoms kinda pumping

strange python
#

well good luck using vanish offensively

#

specially against war and ww

balmy condor
#

The meta atm is literally blow someone up, or you get blown up

prime monolith
#

is assa still bad?

balmy condor
#

Vanish defensively is for when you survive

balmy condor
strange python
#

... yea well - not in 2s

prime monolith
#

well

balmy condor
#

Not in anything tbh

strange python
#

most comps are healer dps

balmy condor
#

Okay

#

And what do you do in those

strange python
#

I mean above a certain cr

#

you trade cds

#

using a sub-par kit

#

trying to capitalize on mistakes

balmy condor
#

Aight if you say so

oblique kiln
#

sry dumb question does sin always run wound and numbing poison for most pve situations raids/dungs?

stoic needle
#

Deadly and numbing

#

Wound is for pvp

#

guys memory of past sins @ 187 or waistcord of dark devotion @210?

balmy condor
#

Sim it

sour citrus
#

did

balmy condor
#

And?

sour citrus
#

telling me to go with waistcord, but I feel that the trinket is better

balmy condor
#

It is 187 tho

sour citrus
#

too low level?

balmy condor
#

187 is lfr item level

#

Pretty yucky

sour citrus
#

lol, ok, 210 it is then

fervent kettle
#

this id ( im eu so reset tomorrow ) is there any important leg in torgast to get ?

stuck tartan
#

akaari's sub and doomblade

#

so if u want single target on sub, then go ahead, doomblade doesnt see much play

spice spire
#

Doom blade is fairly decent ST and decent PvP iirc

fervent kettle
#

ok so do both lvl 3 just in case

#

ok ty 😛

PSA for those that are night fae and are going for renown 21 this week: When asked to go to maw to rescue 10 souls, don't cap the jailer eye, cause in the end of the quest chain you'll be asked to go there and.. if you have the eye capped for the day, you'll have to wait for tomorrow

sour citrus
#

too late...capped

stuck tartan
#

good thing I hate the maw and I'm just doing the 10 souls

main forge
#

I got to 4/5 eye of the jailer before leaving

#

not being able to do weeklies/dailies and kill a couple of rares at this point is lame as shit.

#

but TY skaeld

#

I mean remove the rep and stygia gains but at least allow us to help a friend or two

How do you guys deal with the high energy usage sin has?

#

crying

stoic needle
#

Stack haste, cry

stuck tartan
#

and turning off error sounds

cosmic trail
stoic needle
#

In all seriousness your only hope is to rupture/garotte as many things as you can

#

For venomous wounds

stuck tartan
#

or do torghast

stoic needle
#

God

stuck tartan
#

so u have like 50% haste

stoic needle
#

Torghast is so troll

stuck tartan
#

Yeah

#

I feel like I enjoy it

#

just cause of that

stoic needle
#

It lets you see what sin would be like if they actually gave us a buff

#

So messed up

Is anyone else disappointed in Rogue Anima powers when compared to other classes? Maybe just cause I am night fae but other classes seem broken.... I have yet to feel that...

sonic wind
#

Why assa is sooo bad?

stuck tartan
#

small numbers

strange python
#

is a numbers buff all we need?

#

to be competitive*

drifting cloud
#

for raid yes, for mythic plus probably not

strange python
#

what needs to be changed for m+ in your opinion?

low girder
#

actual borrowed power support for aoe

strange python
#

makes sense, the only cov ability i can think of that can be considered aoe is necro for multi-dotting

fleet whale
#

by layer 18 in twisting corridors

#

i was a god

#

700k envenom crits

#

82% crit chance

stoic needle
#

Give me vein rippers, red ink as talents or baseline and another 7% and I'd be happy

#

Maybe tweak the numbers on red ink and rippers

#

Hell they could just take a smaller portion of vein rippers effect and put it into PB or CT

stuck tartan
#

red ink as sin baseline would be great

fleet whale
#

i mean you might as well just buff poisons and bleeds by 30% if you make red ink baseline lol

#

cause that's what it is

stuck tartan
#

yeah, but it gives more to the fantasy I think

#

cause with sub having both rupture and instant poison

#

there isnt much of a difference again

robust pine
#

Rogue powers seems fine to me when i go solo. I even sometimes go torghast when already got all of the soul ash, just because it's fun. There are broken stuff like infinite evasion, but yeah, nothing to oneshot bosses.
When i went together with my mage friend, it was really no fun... but i had opportunity to try instant damage from bleeds after vanish ability! It's completely useless piece of shit just like i thought!

stuck tartan
#

I tried once

#

Never more

#

Its so fucking shit that anima power lol just for like... 3% agility for mob

sonic wind
#

Rogue powers is pretty OP for sub with MA

marble hemlock
#

but i had opportunity to try instant damage from bleeds after vanish ability! It's completely useless piece of shit just like i thought! thats just not true though :p

#

seems pretty good to me :>

balmy condor
#

Yeah vein rippers is insane

marble hemlock
#

at floor18 its gonna be ridiculous

#

when you have first steps with nightstalker ruptures+subterfuge garrotes

#

garrotes that deal 450% bonusdmg or smth from chain link Kekw

stoic needle
#

And obviously 30% might be too high, could use tuning

#

Or maybe have it activate after hitting them with a mutilate with the conditions satisfied

#

Lots of ways to make it interactive

marble hemlock
#

if theres one thing assa doesnt need more of, then its conditional or permanent damage percentage bonuses

#

it already has one of the highest dmg auras to boost its damage

robust pine
# marble hemlock

Well if you have empowered cp generator and empowered finisher powers, than i guess it can be used. But I never got combination like this. Probably it will happen in corridors tomorrow.
Today i actually got into situation where i accidently pulled pack and would certainly have died if fought until the end. So I put bleeds and poison on enemies, pushed vanish and... no one died, they received damage and then restored back to 100%

marble hemlock
#

well yeah, in solo its only useful if you can actually kill your targets with it in one vanish

#

but when running MA legendary it has 100% crit, and between subterfuge garrotes and crimson tempest, even without any empowerments, youre already looking at 30-50k burst

stoic needle
#

I don't like the current damage profile of sin at all with the heavy emphasis on melee. How would you fix that without an aura change

#

And currently sin lacks the interesting ability synergies that other rogue specs and other dps specs in shadowlands have

marble hemlock
#

add back the nature dmg proc on venomous wounds, for a slight st gain and bigger aoe gain. make fok generate extra CP same as shuriken storm

#

without the need to crit on them

#

make CT baseline, put exsanguinate into that spot instead, make it vein rippers. bring back Kingsbane to replace exsanguinate in that tier

#

stuff like that, thats a dps gain thats bigger on aoe than st, while also adding to the overall idea of bleeds being what makes you deal aoe dmg, with poisons emphasis on single-target

#

could also bring back scent of blood/echoing blades, making you proc an echo on each target you hit with fok that has rupture on them

stoic needle
#

Ok yeah I like all of those

#

Especially making fok and shuriken storm more equal

#

It's a crime how bad fok is

stone pilot
#

Blizz hire this man

#

That’s a great rework for mut

#

But what about kingsbane in the last tier in place of ct and veinripper in the alac tier

Will Mikanikos at max rank be better than Pelagos for Sin?

balmy condor
#

no

dense cedar
#

Will it not be bad?

#

or i guess at least better than Kliea

main forge
#

You know I have heard people complain about the AoE rotation for Sin ... and its not great but neither is the rotation for outlaw or sub imo

#

I actually prefer sin... I like building up those ruptions to FoK my cares away

drifting cosmos
#

I think ppl complained the aoe dmg of sin

main forge
#

eh yeah with an aoe cap that is going to happen

#

rupture doesn hit for shit either

pure heron
#

what leggo is best for assass pvp, i kinda wanna give it a go.

balmy condor
#

MA

pure heron
#

awesome cheers

cosmic trail
#

Whats the BiS legendary for sin?

balmy condor
#

zoldyck

cosmic trail
#

Is that the best all around for ST and AoE?

balmy condor
#

yes

cosmic trail
#

What about pvp (idk if you do pvp on sin or not)

balmy condor
#

literally the question above you

cosmic trail
#

Oh I didnt see that mb lol

vagrant tapir
#

lel

cosmic trail
#

So I have enough soul ash for a rank 2 legendary since I do both pvp and pve should I just make rank 1s of Master assassin and zold

balmy condor
#

ye

cosmic trail
#

So for AoE do I legit have to put dots on every mob in the pack or how do yall deal with AoE? Im currently playing outlaw and wanting to swap to sin

fallow otter
#

I do not recommend

faint harness
#

From outlaw to sin

#

For aoe dmg

balmy condor
#

yeah there's actually 0 reason to swap off of outlaw

cosmic trail
#

cuz outlaw is bad in pvp supposedly and I dont wanna play sub

fallow otter
#

You can pvp as outlaw

fleet whale
#

there is one reason to swap off of outlaw in favor of sin....

#

that reason is Torghast

faint harness
#

I would prob play outlaw in pvp anyway

#

and just play some weird cleave comp

stoic needle
finite barn
# fleet whale that reason is Torghast

Is sin really good in Torghast? I do Torghast as outlaw every week and it’s fine; I have gear and the nerfs made it trivial, but If I’d clap as another spec I’d swap for it.

fleet whale
#

it has really good synergy with some of the powers

#

it also has good self healing in the form of leaching poison.

#

with all the powers you get buffing up and all the enemies you are dotting up, you get a good return in self heals

#

vendetta is also good for elites/bosses

finite barn
#

Yeah, vendetta is great when I get Jack of all trades. Lol

fallow otter
#

Celerity procs jack of all trades

stoic needle
#

What

#

So if I have celerity should I use it in Torghast as any spec with Jack of all trades? monkahmm

#

Do you get full duration or just 3s of the other buffs

#

I hope there's a torghast anima power that lets you equip multiple legendaries one day

#

Seems like all of the coolest legendaries aren't in the anima power pool

finite barn
#

You get full duration. Most of the time you don’t get vendetta though because you are going from one pack to another. But full 15s of Shadow Blades from the Celerity proc.

stoic needle
#

celerity should be spec neutral again peepohappy

tacit night
#

How close to your simmed dps do you consider pretty good?

balmy condor
#

should be able to hit your simdps on a dummy if you turn off buffs obviously

tacit night
#

I'm at about 75% of my sim dps in a boss fight, so probably need some work to do

fallow otter
#

Depends on the fight

dense cedar
#

its very good to do dmg

tacit night
#

but I want to do all the damage

spice spire
#

You’re definitely playing the wrong spec then lol

tacit night
#

I know, I'm hanging on for hope

dense cedar
#

u can ust play something else in the meantime

stoic needle
#

yeah uh

#

im using celerity in torg rn

#

it doesnt do shit

#

as sin

#

i get the ar proc but no buff and no shadow blades

balmy condor
#

oh you're in sin

#

well the cross-spec doesn't work with celerity

#

they fixed that

dense cedar
#

lol

balmy condor
#

you also need to jack of all trades obviously

#

or else why would it proc blades

stoic needle
#

yeah yeah i realized that part after i wrote it

#

i didn't realize that jack was required for both AR and blades

boreal vortex
#

hey watched some old pika clips, can you still do the 20k envenoms in arena ?

balmy condor
#

Kinda

#

It got slightly nerfed

#

But it works okay-ish

#

It’s just worse sub rogue mostly

boreal vortex
#

but the 20k envenom is kinda worse now because 1 month ago everyone had 23-25k hp now everyone has 33-35k xd

balmy condor
#

Ye

tacit night
#

Well made it to 80% of my sim dps on a dummy, so gotta figure out what I need to tune up

balmy condor
#

Quick sim, and compare the damage breakdowns

tacit night
#

Yeah that's what I'm working on now; biggest thing I see is my deadly poison is 12% when it should be 20%

balmy condor
#

That’s very weird

tacit night
#

Unless I'm reading it wrong; there's a second line for deadly "(dot)" further down that's 6%, so I could add them to be 18%?

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

There’s two splits for poison

tacit night
#

makes sense

balmy condor
#

One for the re-application

#

And one for the dot itself

#

Raidbots adds them together

#

man got lucky and a piece that needed upgrade from 151 to 200 in vault.. sadly no weapon but today pvp only i guess and buy 2x 200 there

cosmic trail
#

Whats the recommended spot for master assassin for pvp

balmy condor
#

Bracers

#

But the difference is very minimal

#

If you have bad rings, it would be better on a ring

cosmic trail
#

hmm okay

old snow
#

you can have only one haste vers ring, but bracers have main stat so both have their advantages

cosmic trail
#

So its best to put it on the ring? @old snow

old snow
#

ive seen more people say bracers for main stat, but as was said, difference is verry minimal specially for pvp

#

legendary slot doesnt really make a difference between 1400 and 2100, its about how well you play

cosmic trail
#

I wont be doing rated just yet since i'll be new to sin spec

#

so im gonna mess around in Bgs for the next few days

old snow
#

ye makes sense, just saying in general, tbh you can put it in the slot you persoanlly prefer doesnt make that much diff, but ive seen more people say bracers

cosmic trail
#

for my pvp side of gear should I be using full sinful set? or does some dungeon/mythic+ stuff work better in some slots?

lean crescent
#

Is MA or doom blade better for ass pvp?

cosmic trail
#

Question on wowhead they recommended a weapon from a dungoen for pvp since it gives haste versa.... By any chance should I get 2 of the same weapons or just 1 and put somethign else on offhand?

old snow
#

if you can get 2 of the same weapon would be better id say, but im personally going with conq weapons, a little bit of crit wont harm you

#

and its def MA id say

cosmic trail
#

Reason I asked is I have a rank 2 haste versa weapon from my outlaw (not sure if it can be used in offhand or not

outer lodge
#

assass needs 2 daggers

old snow
#

which type of weapon is it

#

you can only use daggers

cosmic trail
#

oh okay

#

Well I'll either have to buy a honor dagger or just farm mist multiple times for 2

old snow
#

for sub you can have non dagger oh, but assa needs both daggers for muti

stoic needle
#

Has anyone here crafted dashing scoundrel and can comment on whether it makes sin feel any better in single target with the extra energy and crit?

cosmic trail
#

Tag me with an answer as well regarding ^

#

Im rushing 175 ilvl just so I can lfr and get it

outer lodge
#

No legendary at this point is going to make Assa feel any better atm

stoic needle
#

Yeah but energy is energy

#

I'll take any small gain I can get if it gets me an extra finisher over the course of a fight or something

#

Maybe as a 2nd legendary

#

When they let us wear 2

outer lodge
#

I haven't tested it, not sure if you will feel a noticeable difference using Dashing, but maybe

old snow
#

ye but its not enaugh energy to really change how it "feels", you shoulkd have low crit anyway, and you do get 15% crit on envenoms, considering you get poison proc lets say every second thats like 1 energy every 6 seconds

#

and if your muti costs 50 energy you do the math

stoic needle
#

But what if you don't have low crit

old snow
#

then you are doing something wrong

#

you would be getting mroe energy from haste then

stoic needle
#

There's many ways to get crit without just gear especially with certain trinkets

cosmic trail
#

welp I cant get zoldyck bc its not the week for coldheart

old snow
#

neither of top trinkets for assa gives crint, if im not mistaken

#

i have zoldyck and i sim better with ma

#

and also im pretty sure i do more dam with ma

#

also expected zoldyck to be better, thats why i crafted it

outer lodge
#

Zoldyck is a nice all around

#

its nice in ST, its nice in cleave and multi target where some of the other ST legendaries like Doomblade and Dashing fall off a bit

cosmic trail
#

Since I cant get to zoldyck yet would dashing be fine to use till then?

old snow
#

even in single target, i have zoldyck, master assassin and doomblade and i sym best and do most dmg with master assassin

outer lodge
#

Thats up to you Weefii, Dashing is technically the highest parsing legendary we have for Single Target the last time i checked

old snow
#

and considering ma is also best for pvp, i just stick with that, i think you can never go wrong with it

outer lodge
#

MA is def BiS for Sub pvp

old snow
#

only one i havent tested yet is dashing, il.l test it this week

stoic needle
#

I have zoldyck but I don't really notice the effect

#

Gonna rank it up to 3 this week probably

outer lodge
#

just keep simming and that should help you out alot

stoic needle
#

Does envenom count as a poison to be boosted by zoldyck?

outer lodge
#

I don't think Envenom counts as poison - irc its nature dmg

stoic needle
#

That's a shame

#

It would be really cool if it did get the execute bonus

outer lodge
#

sure would be

stoic needle
#

Wow blizzard... With one little change you could give sin a nice boost

#

Make it have reduced effect in pvp if they don't want the one shot combos to come back or whatever

fervent kettle
#

Cant be more busted then all pala speccs anyway

#

So just give it to us

#

Lul

stoic needle
#

Has anyone experimented with 2cp envenoms in aoe during the execute phase for more poison procs / execute bonus? Perhaps with master poisoner instead of blindside?

#

Since ambush is so bad and all

old snow
#

even then i dont see a scenario where ma would be better then elaborate

south drum
tardy steppe
#

will assa feel better the more gear we get?

#

i mean ofc it will feel better but will it like improve comparing to others

stoic needle
#

No

fervent kettle
#

Scaling doesnt exisz

tardy steppe
#

so its just downright thrash

stoic needle
#

Maybe with borrowed power systems but not with raw stats

fervent kettle
#

Its an old story

#

Its same for fury

stoic needle
tardy steppe
#

so WW will not fall off without nerfs?

south drum
#

Yup until the spec gets fixed

fervent kettle
#

You will maybe see 1% diff but nothing that will change anything..

stoic needle
#

You could use a ttk weakaura to match the envenom duration to the execute phase

#

I'll have to sim that

cosmic trail
#

Welp gettting DS is gonna be harder than I thought

stoic needle
#

Pug it

#

I pugged 10/10n

fervent kettle
#

@stoic needle i mean you always have to look if its worth for the whole picture to swap targets.. like if other ppl can use the extra add or whatever to generate more ressources you too btw with having dots on it? and then you focus it and kill it faster instead of main target

cosmic trail
#

all the groups that are on lfr is them damn sellers

#

and the ones that are normal people arent accepting me

fervent kettle
#

what gs?

#

a friend of mine that does not raid at all for example looked at wow progress and bought the specific boss in normal off a guild for 100k..

#

takes 1h to farm 100k so whatever 😄

stoic needle
#

That's a good point but how many adds can we really sustain dots on that we get bonus energy from? I struggle to keep up rupture and garotte on all of the denathrius p2 adds with all of the mechanics in the picture. I can't help but thinking that guaranteeing some execute damage is going to be more damage in the long run than keeping up dots but maybe I'm wrong

#

Real question

#

Why is sin rising in pvp

quasi ledge
#

More gear etc means people are living longer or through memey "one shots", hence Assass damage and pressure can actually get going. It's still dog shit, especially against Paladins and Hunters

I use it after the first rupture

#

garrote, mutilate, snd, mutilate till 4 or 5 combo points, then rupture and vendetta

spice spire
#

I oddly use it before the rupture, due to being venthyr. Though I guess a better window would be after the venthyr haste procs 🤔

low shadow
#

So I'm assuming even with higher ilvl's sin isn't quite where it needs to be yet?

spice spire

Correct

can someone help me to make a pandemic timer on my SND WA?

#

anyone else getting higher ST dps with main (vs lethal poisons)?

red light
#

does necro bonespike bleed increase envenoms damage when using doomblade lege? do those two combo or no?

sonic wind
#

Tried Assa in Torghast recently, just nowhere near from sub in DPS, holy it's so broken and bad

jovial verge
#

At least you can be one of a kind

#

Not like you'll see anyone else playing it :p

stuck tartan
#

sin on torghast is good tbh

gleaming eagle
#

assa is the best rogue spec for torghast @sonic wind

#

you probably build it wrong

spice spire
strange python
#

seems like lethal poisons is better if you have lower haste

#

also I'm getting interesting ST returns with maim + doomblade

spice spire
#

It does seem to be that way, oddly, how much mastery do you have? That also may affect it. Are you running doomblade as a legendary? That would explain it

strange python
#

interesting

spice spire
#

Yes, Poisons works extremely well since Zoldyck’s is considered the go-to.

#

Since you’re using Doomblade, that explains the difference a bit. But it should still be close

robust pine
#

how do you open with MA as sin? In PVP and in M+?

strange python
#

PVP 1v1: gar > amb > cheap > rup > echo (if they don't trinket at this point use vendettar) > mut > kidney > shiv > mut > envenom

#

feel free to vanish after that last envenom (you remove any counterplay and all your dots will crit because MA will be active again

robust pine
#

what's echo?... is it some covenant thing i am too necrolord to understand?

strange python
#

you can replace with mut but you might need to use vendetta 1 gcd earlier

#

due to energy

robust pine
#

ok, thanks, i will try it

spice spire

#

my bad

lost sentinel
#

is sin any good in torghast?

spice spire
#

Sin’s great in torghast, you have to build differently, but like all rogue specs, gotta survive.

lost sentinel
#

good anima powers?

lament dove
#

how is assa good in Torghast? I mean you do less dmg and leech is based on that... while with sub you just blow things up while healing to full...

lost sentinel
#

just thinking on how to make twisting corridor runs more interesting heh

spice spire
#

Fair cleave, leeching and master poisoner helps keep you topped. I’ve not had luck, but I’m bad. Many in here swap to sin from sub for torghast

floral cradle
#

let's be real, the only measure of what's "good" in torghast is ST burst damage, because if you don't kill the final boss fast you're going to eventually get overwhelmed

#

unless you're doing some weird smoke bomb kite thing

robust pine
#

you can cheese any boss by spamming crimson vial without cooldown with 5 seconds of evasion and cloak of shadow

#

EVENTUALLY boss will die

balmy condor
#

Sin bursts bosses insanely hard

#

With vein ripper

#

I don’t think sub does more damage

stuck tartan
#

how do u use vein ripper correctly

balmy condor
#

You get everything up and then vanish

lost sentinel
#

vein ripper an anima power?

balmy condor
#

Yes

lament dove
#

and you pray that boss doesn't reset?

balmy condor
#

Just vanish into a cast

#

If you vanish and don’t cast something, then ye it’ll reset

lament dove
#

I had mobs reset a lot of times like that

stuck tartan
#

so get up garrote rupture vanish garrote

balmy condor
#

Then you need to cast faster kekchamp

#

You can consistently have mobs stay in combat with you

#

Macro mutilate into vanish or something

#

And you’ll see

lost sentinel
#

this could make me want to switch to sin for other content lol

balmy condor
#

That things never reset if you do it

sick kestrel
#

hey guys, new to sin, what do you think of exsanguinate?

robust pine
#

wait... what cast?

balmy condor
robust pine
#

only rogue cast i can think of is poison applying...

balmy condor
robust pine
#

so like make a macros to use vanish and muti at the same time?

stuck tartan
#

instant cast are still casts tinfoil_pepe

balmy condor
spice spire
#

Do you need to redo your opener? monkascheme

balmy condor
#

But if you don’t believe me that you can vanish mid fight and not reset the boss

#

Then macro it

#

And try it yourself

stuck tartan
#

should i open with snd with vein ripper, or just garrote 5 cp rupture

#

to get more of that subterfuge garrote

balmy condor
#

Idk I haven’t simmed optimized vein ripper openers

#

Just fucking smash Buttons

floral cradle
#

i think you get like a 1 second grace period with vanish

robust pine
floral cradle
#

i play with a consistent 130 ping and unless i have some bizarre lag spike, i never get a reset on vanish

robust pine
balmy condor
#

I don’t think it’s a full second

#

But it is definitely enough time

floral cradle
#

well it's enough time that i don't need a macro to do it, just vanish then immediately hit the next key, and it works

balmy condor
floral cradle
#

even with my bad ping

balmy condor
#

That’s all there is

stuck tartan
#

sometimes on sub i try to shadowstrike too fast after shadow dance so i just use a backstab

#

so I think I'll have no problem with that

balmy condor
#

Imagine having a bs/ss macro in 2021

#

Smh my head

stuck tartan
#

i dont

spice spire
#

Toxic

stuck tartan
#

i just have them on differente stances

#

so the change doesnt register

#

lmao

balmy condor
#

That’s the same thing

sick kestrel
balmy condor
#

Because alacrity just gives you haste instead

#

Our bleeds don’t do damage

#

So making them tick faster is whatever

#

You get energy from vendetta already

#

Venom rush actually speeds the spec up more than exsang

#

So even that doesn’t swing in exsangs favour

#

So it’s less damage, less energy, and it’s on a cooldown that you have to play correctly with

zenith notch
#

I don't even know what you two are talking about, but I already know you are full of BS. "... just gives you haste" is one of the weirdest statements a rogue can make.

balmy condor
#

Excuse me?

#

Please inform me how I’m full of shit

sick kestrel
#

so exsanguinate isnt better on Ssingle target?

balmy condor
#

It is not, correct

zenith notch
#

You are dismissing haste as a stat because "our bleeds don't do damage"? Is that it, or I read wrong?

balmy condor
#

“Alacrity just gives haste” and haste is great

#

So it’s better

spice spire
#

I think he’s dismissing the bleed damage more than the haste?

balmy condor
#

Man you really didn’t fucking read the conversation did you

zenith notch
#

No, I saw a wall of text that seemed you were saying "alacrity just gives you haste instead / Our bleeds don’t do damage / So making them tick faster is whatever"

stuck tartan
#

that's refering to exsa

zenith notch
#

and I was like "WTF? that's the most wrong statement I've ever read"

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

And that’s where you would read the rest of the conversation

#

Before randomly stumbling into it

#

And saying that someone is full of shit

robust pine
#

if i get poison bomb talent power in torghast, can it proc from crimson tempest?

lean marten
#

i love out of context jebaits

robust pine
#

why even live then...

stuck tartan
robust pine
#

oh, right... i kinda thought "Any damaging finisher"

stuck tartan
#

its not like poison bomb deals damage now so its ok

#

its like 1cp rupture damage

#

feelssad

sick kestrel
#

so im guessing the extra haste is just too valuable to give up for more garrote/rupture applications

balmy condor
#

Its a mixture of extra haste being good, and bleed damage being bad

robust pine
#

why unceasing chain link power keeps disappearing... like how did they manage to fuck up this exact power?

balmy condor
#

There’s a couple bugs in torg atm

stoic needle
#

@balmy condor is there a simc expression for how the sim chooses targets in an aoe situation? I'd like to sim hard target switching in aoe/cleave to targets in the execute phase to get the most out of zoldyck(unless it does that already)

balmy condor
#

I don’t know of any way to target specific targets for that, but I don’t think that will really matter

#

The health is randomized a little bit, so they don’t all hit 30% at the same time

#

But it’s fairly close together

#

So you might get like 5 seconds of auto-attack poison reapplications being buffed

#

But otherwise you’re not getting anything out of that

#

Especially for dungeon slice, the difference would be almost non-existent

stoic needle
#

I mean yeah the idea is that say you're about to envenom but something nearby just entered the execute phase, you'd just hard swap to it with the envenom and stick to it until its dead. you'd get the envenom poison proc chance bonus, the zoldyck bonus, and the 'bonus' of focusing it with your autos. just trying to think of any possible way to squeeze out more damage lol

lost sentinel
#

lol well, 12th floor boss hits me for 10k-12k autoattacks, not beating that with sin...

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

isn't fan worse than garotte until like 3+ targets?

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

sorry not garrote, mut XD

balmy condor
#

Yeah okay

#

You fan on 3

#

Yes

#

On 1 target you can’t swap, on 3, you don’t mut

#

So really we’re looking at a slight gain, with a specific legendary, on specifically 2 targets, in a window of 5-10 seconds at best

stoic needle
#

yeah i guess that is pretty niche...

sick kestrel
balmy condor
#

because that's how life panned out for us

#

we don't have any borrowed power increasing bleed damage

#

unless you're going to get a 233 back from mythic

cosmic trail
#

@balmy condor You think you can help me understand how the kyrian ability works?

balmy condor
#

you hit in on cooldown, it empowers a random "slot" of combo points, either 2, 3, or 4th combo point. If you finish on that point, it functions as a 7 combo point finisher

cosmic trail
#

Is that one better for sin than NF?

balmy condor
#

they're both pretty close

sick kestrel
#

hey guys do you sometimes use poison blade top get from 4 to 5 combo points sometimes if shiv not available and garrote is already applied? or am i just wasting energy

fleet whale
#

you finish at 4

#

in that case

#

never use mut at 4 cps and using poison knife to get to 5 is a dps loss

balmy condor
#

using poison knife in general is a loss

sick kestrel
#

ok, so just cast my rupture/snd ect at 4 if i have to

#

ahh ok

balmy condor
#

the only time you use knife is if you're going to overcap energy, and can't get to the boss

#

which happens like once in a blue moon

sick kestrel

ahh ok. going to change it's bind then. Thanks guys this discord is a lot of help

how would I macro dispatch and mutilate together so it'll just just dispatch whenever it procs

Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.

wat

robust pine
#

so how far did you get in twisting corridors with rogue? I tried yesterday 3rd layer, reached last boss and he just one-shotted me. I only had 3 tries at this point and failed, and now have to start from the start

fleet whale
#

who was the boss, and was it a melee attack that killed you

robust pine
#

it was floating... mechanical eye thing

#

he is caster

fleet whale
#

how much hp did you have

robust pine
#

but his melee autoattacks almost one-shotted me too

#

not much, for some reason HP powers dropped in very small quantities

#

44k i think

#

or something like that

fleet whale
#

yeah that may have screwed you, you pretty much need all the hp ones you get

#

but, you can try either opening with Cheap shot or even pre evasion before you pull the boss

robust pine
#

well, i pre-evasion by chugging crimson vials without cooldowns

#

and actually whole boss was chugging crimson vials hoping for the right defense buff

fleet whale
#

but i think you got screwed with the lack of hp powers

lament dove
#

I don't understand how this content is supposed to be fun tbh

fleet whale
#

due to how ridiculous the damage scaling is in TC

robust pine
#

i just can't imagine what the hell gonna be in higher layers if it's like this in layer 3

fleet whale
#

and Torghast is ok imo, it just really sucks that it's 18 floors

low girder
#

yeah it's just long

fleet whale
#

and unlike other rogue like games, there aren't many permanent buffs you get for the place

#

outside of just more gear and whatever venari gives you

robust pine
#

well, it's long but at the same time you get shitton of powers (that didn't help me)

fleet whale
#

in my first TC run

low girder
#

yeah i just mean like it's a commitment

#

you gotta set aside the hour or so

fleet whale
#

i had jack of all trade, first steps, and the sepsis resetting vendetta power

low girder
#

roguelikes you can just pause

#

for the most part

#

which in wow is usually fine, but for me TC will be kinda solo content i think

balmy condor
#

is it possible to get epic powers more than once

#

no right

fleet whale
#

idk, the only one i would want twice

#

is first steps anyway

low girder
#

yeah

lament dove
#

I didn't memorize the name of one single power so far, I'm always just checking the description^^

balmy condor
#

yikes

fleet whale
#

for tc i also think it's very helpful to actually stack up on just raw stat powers

low girder
#

they're extremely good in large quantities like that

fleet whale
#

cause eventually you get ridiculous things like 80% crit

low girder
#

makes the maw upgrade where you get multiple at a time kinda insane

fleet whale
#

my priority for TC

robust pine
#

well, with last venari buff normal mobs always drop "Exploding rat or 3% stat", so i get decent amount of stat powers

fleet whale
#

HP> your best powers one time>raw stats> stacking up your better powers

robust pine
#

yeah, but where are exploding rats

fleet whale
#

near the bottom

#

actually, if you get really lucky before the final boss in TC

#

you could get the power that gives you immunity for like 2 mins

robust pine
#

yeah, i know, it happened to me a lot of times in normal torghast

fleet whale
#

and honestly i know it's hyped a lot here

#

but i'm not a fan of the distract bomb

robust pine
#

i am disappointed with necrolord rogue ability powers

#

you can get all of powerups for bone spike

stoic needle
#

The venthyr ones suck too

fleet whale
#

venth have the worst ones by far

robust pine
#

and it's still gonna be useful only as CP generator

stoic needle
fleet whale
#

at least you have absurb range for Bonespike

#

if you get that one power

stoic needle
#

It's good for kiting

fleet whale
#

the sepsis powers are low key really good

#

especially the cleave one

robust pine
#

dunno, whenever i try, it doesn't seem super useful

stoic needle
#

They really need to rework our class powers

fleet whale
#

i think sepsis is fine for what it does

robust pine
#

if it empowered BLEED DAMAGE of bonespike... but it doesn't

stoic needle
#

And the covenant powers

fallow otter
fleet whale
#

it needs to do more damage for a 1.5 min cd though

#

well, people always talk about the 20 CP er thing

#

not many people talk about the broken sepsis powers lol

stoic needle
#

Bone spike power: your bone spike now benefits from your mastery pepeclown

fallow otter
#

It's not outstanding single target but can aoe hard

robust pine
#

but epic Fleshcraft power on the other hand is pretty cool. But i think they need to lower cooldown for it too with this power...

fleet whale
#

the vendetta reset power is really good too

stoic needle
#

What vendetta reset power

fleet whale
#

it's sepsis

#

if the target survives sepsis

stoic needle
#

Ugh

fleet whale
#

your vendetta resets

stoic needle
#

Wtf

fleet whale
#

and for outlaw it's ar

#

SB for sub

stoic needle
#

This makes me want to change covenants

#

Venthyr sucks so bad

#

They suck at mission tables

#

The soulbinds kinda suck

fleet whale
#

they look cool though

stoic needle
#

The abilties suck

fleet whale
#

and what do you mean

#

Draven is the best soulbind by far kek

stoic needle
fleet whale
#

but real talk draven apparently is an op follower

#

like he apparently improves things greatly for missions

stoic needle
#

Ok well then we can do mission table stuff but I'm still stuck with 2 gcd flag

fleet whale
#

i honestly would have preferred slaughter, and that's really saying something as it was just a copy and paste ambush

#

at least the conduit for it was really strong with blindside

stoic needle
#

Same

#

Arms gets condemn

#

Bring back slaughter

fleet whale
#

i mean condemn sucks too but in a different way

stoic needle
#

But it actually does damage and isn't awful to use

#

Unlike flag

fleet whale
#

i mean that's nice

#

but you pretty much aren't dealing any damage outside of condemn windows or procs

stoic needle
#

It doesn't have to be that strong for us

fleet whale
#

but yeah, flag might be the worst covenant ability when collectively looking at all of them

#

only fodder to the flame and the paladin night fae one are designed worse

soft shale
#

paladin night fae one got nerfed 4 times tho

#

flag was just so badly done

#

like as assa you cant even get full stacks most of the time

stoic needle
#

I don't want to switch covenants again but I hate flag

#

it could be good if some weird snapshot exsang build becomes the best

For a bit, I have noticed that Crimson Tempest does not count as a finishing move regarding the Alacrity talent, is this a normal interaction or a bug ? Because it feels really frustrating to lose you stacks of Alacrity after spending point on CT

known bug

#

won't get fixed tho

well, new trick I learned for Torghast

#

if at 15th floor you see that the last boss is Maw of the Maw

#

then leave and start over

#

why does that have a spoiler thing on it?

daring pecan
#

because it's disgusting damage

#

So boys i'm a sub main and have been playing some assassination to get the feel of the spec in case they buff it xD.
I have a question reguarding sepsis. Does it count as a dot modifier for assa or is it completly seperate ? ie envenom.

spice spire
#

From my understanding sepsis doesn’t interact with the kit whatsoever, save for maybe shiv.

high basin
#

alrighty then. Now that you bring up shiv. if you are the only class capable of dispelling enrage in a dg where you need to. Do you have a way to delay it without altering your rotation ?

#

for me shiv is only used as a enrage dispell but now that i also play assa i have to use it for my damage

#

like finding a way you can save it for the dispell yet not fuck up your damage to much

spice spire
#

That’s actually a great question. What’s your haste %?

high basin
#

very low atm at 12%

#

keep in mind this is my offspec

spice spire
#

Then I’d think the easiest way to do so (if it’s a predictable window) is to blow your energy in a window about 5-10 seconds before you need to. Then once full energy, try to weave it into a nice 2-4 envenoms window

high basin
#

that seems fine this week with fortified actualy.

#

was thinking of the other side. we have 1 druid and me as a rogue

#

so we need to have that instant dispell

spice spire
#

Yeah, like I said the sandbag strat works only if it’s predictable, but yeah for the red guys it’s pretty ez to see

high basin
#

what does the assa kit offer that outlaw or sub doesnt btw ?

#

actualy serious since idont know assa much

daring pecan
#

nothing

high basin
#

forget about the damage output. i just want utility

daring pecan
high basin
#

so in M+ the best in pure utility would be outlaw cause of gauge ?

#

no gauge for assa ?

daring pecan
#

assa has silence on garrote used from stealth but when is that ever useful

high basin
#

i mean it's actualy nice

#

isn't the silence 8 seconds ?

#

I guess if you're pugging alot the silence can be a game changer

daring pecan
#

yes but is it an incap?

high basin
#

ofc not 😄

daring pecan
#

do you bring as much damage as outlaw?

high basin
#

i'm trying to look at assa full kit so i am comfortable on all 3 specs

daring pecan
#

nope, sadly not NotLikeThis

daring pecan
#

yeh but giving equal or less utility while being less damage is sadly not something that makes a spec viable

high basin
#

100% agree

#

But I am practicing the specs all together so im ready for all

#

And i love assa in torghast more than sub

#

for some reason

daring pecan
#

vein ripper's fun or so I've heard

high basin
#

the sustain is better aswell

daring pecan
#

but I still prefer sub for killing bosses in one opener

high basin
#

yeah but this week i find myself spending more time killing trash

#

but i guess it's whatever if you end up with amazing anima power

#

but that's the thing about assa. It feels great to play

#

I'm generaly not a fan of assa

#

but i feel like the rng is a bit meh but other than that everything feels smooth

#

and 2-3 target uptime is fun

daring pecan
#

I'd be more a fan of assa if so many things weren't gated behind talents and the base spec would offer me more

high basin
#

yeah that's very true

daring pecan
#

why is blindside not baseline NotLikeThis

high basin
#

spells like exsanguinate and crimson tempest belong in a M+ enviroement again

daring pecan
#

why is CT a talent? NotLikeThis

high basin
#

😄

#

CT = Black powder for rogue sub

#

would make sense actualy

daring pecan
#

assa just feels so incredibly lacking to me and vendetta is just the most boring cooldown to exist

high basin
#

i think i've seen that somewhere

daring pecan
#

yeah, I pointed that out recently as well

#

it's such a blizzard thing to do

high basin
#

i actualy like the talent more than the leggo xD

#

change the talent to crit hit damage and let assa dominate for 2 weeks

daring pecan
#

nah, would get nerfed in a week while all other classes go untouched kekw

high basin
#

also the only thing that feels really good atm compared to assa's counter parts is it's execute phase. but get a warrior, fire mage, lock or shadowpriest and your execute is gone oh and let's not forget monk's touch of death

magic vine
#

i haven't messed with playing assassination yet myself though i might, but long silences would be pretty nice in places like sanguine, where you want to focus 1 target in a pull but there are other casters that it'd be nice to interrupt

#

or some of the pulls in halls have similar setups

shrewd pivot
#

Crit is 1.5x damage?

#

coming up with 100-0 rotations

#

i think haste vers is whackkk

daring pecan
#

2x damage, 1.75x in pvp

shrewd pivot
#

does crit rate apply for off hand too

#

i guess i can see why haste vers is meta

#

jesus christ, i might have to try out sin in torg

magic thorn
#

He killed the mighty Maw of the Maw

stuck tartan
marble hemlock
#

well, vein rippers 😛

#

with a massive amount of dmg powers

stuck tartan
#

makes sense

marble hemlock
#

got the one from the revendreth questmob in floor5

#

that gives 15% dmg every floor, but makes you lose 5% maxhp every floor too

#

so i had like 20k hp at the end

stuck tartan
#

i just got like 100k because garrote with subterfuge +300% and shadowstep rupture 400%

#

oh lol

marble hemlock
#

yeah its like

stuck tartan
#

u get oneshotted, but u oneshot things too

#

lmao

marble hemlock
#

nightstalker rupture with 400% firststeps bonus, into 600% subterfuge garrote from unceasing chain link, a crimson tempest for good measure and then vanish

#

and watch them pop

daring pecan
#

what about that internal bleeding kidney

stuck tartan
#

i just got to 300% unceashing chain

marble hemlock
#

not worth 😛

#

as you lose the dmg bonus from silent footsteps

daring pecan
#

damn, really?

#

wuh, how

marble hemlock
#

its just a lot of more multipliers interacting

#

cause it only lasts 5seconds

#

😄

daring pecan
#

is CT more damage than internal?

marble hemlock
#

yeah

daring pecan
#

aight

robust pine
#

how did you get 600% of unceasing link... i just lose stacks constantly

shrewd pivot
#

im like pvp rage

#

asssassination meta!! fuaaaarrr

sleek otter
#

does Nya's Tool Herbs work with leech?

#

the one where healing spells and abilities give haste

#

cuz if it is, Im not thinking to run leeching poispn but to get the one enchant that gives you 1 percent leech

balmy condor
#

No it does not

#

Niya poison gets beat by niya burrs by a healthy margin as well

sleek otter
#

ah I see

eternal herald
#

hey what is your highest 7 pt envenom crit and non-crit?

strange python
#

it works with subterfuge as well

balmy condor
#

That macro works for non-blindside as well

#

Not like you should be casting ambushes from stealth anyway :P

strange python
#

wdym

balmy condor
#

To which part

strange python
#

Not like you should be casting ambushes from stealth anyway 😛

balmy condor
#

Yeah

spice spire
#

Mutilate is better from stealth rn
