hmm

#

i still did most damage vs two fire mages

fallow otter
#

That says more about the fire mages than you

stoic needle
#

Yeah they were probably trash

cedar steeple
#

yes

#

the blood dk would have done more damage than them if they didnt use every single necrotic weapon

tender fjord
#

No katar? If you look at what high rio assass rogues are using, they’re almost all running it. What’s your reasoning for not running it?

stoic needle
#

I just looked at the top 20 assasination rogues on raider.io and only 3 of them run it

#

Poison katar is bad because it's only a dps increase over LP and WPS if you consistently have over 5 targets. Given that you don't even fok until 4 targets and that many pulls in m+ don't have 5+ targets up the whole time you don't get a gain from PK through a large part of the average key. Whereas with LP and WPS you always get value

#

Also, just because a 'top player' runs it doesn't mean it's good. There's so few people playing sin in keys that the top 20 goes down to 1400 rio which really isn't that high

!fuu

torn atlas
#

I think this is a good way to show it. Haha.

#

273.6 Sin score is ranked top 5k.
737 Sub score ranked 14k

#

There just isn't the numbers running keys on Sin

lament dove
#

but also if you check top assa rogues, you can see how stupid people are regarding the meta, top assa rogue is at 1900 and only played keys as assa, and other top assa rogues there also main assa so viability is not a question...

#

I'm surprised still so few people play it

#

although I like to see myself as a top3 assa on my server, but still...:D

torn atlas
#

Oh absolutely haha.

M+ ranking is heavily skewed because theres barely any real competition especially in SL

icy dock
#

do you go full haste crit in m+ with MA legy

frigid kestrel
#

MA nerf today, ye?

toxic tusk
#

What

#

Why are they nerfing it?

agile geode
#

Do you think will change anything for assas rogue in 9.0.5?

toxic tusk
#

A small shitty part of me wants the class to be difficult. I like feeling like an underdog

teal bloom
#

Is it worth to use garrote two times in opener when using subterfuge? Garrote -> Mutilate - > Garrote. Or should i just Garrote - > Mutilate - > SnD etc?

#

In single target situation

spice spire
#

Garrote > mutilate > SnD

#

The few extra ticks aren’t worth the energy without SS

teal bloom
#

Thanks

#

a inerva ring would be good too

stoic needle
#

Good Lord you're geared haha

plain thistle
#

yeah, not sure why I didnt go for 2.1 pvp, got to 1.9 in one sitting and never touched pvp again

iron orchid
#

I gotta keep up with MM raiding x)

#

let's hope i get 226 weapon tomorrow morning

#

kind of new to endgame wow/mythic +. Anything I should know about grievous/sanguine as a rogue?

rich yew
#

Help healer with grievous by self healing / spamming food out of combat. Sanguine stay out of it

#

So get yourself some food from the innkeeper / health pots. Help whenever healer is low on mana or struggling

granite steeple
#

great, thanks for this

stoic needle
#

crimson vial helps a bit for greivous

granite steeple
#

kyrian phial stop the grievous by chance?

rich yew
#

and the recuperator conduit might help with some self healing with snd up

deft vault
#

is that any good????

granite steeple
#

i love my Toxin trinket at 220. Its one of the better dungeon trinkets

spice spire
#

It’s fine

#

I get to be disappointed in real time thanks to weather 🙂

toxic tusk
#

Do any of you play on Stormrage?

stoic needle
#

i used to in vanilla but not anymore

toxic tusk
#

KilJaeden was my vanilla. It was hell and beautiful.

main forge
#

Nazgrel, BC Release server.... we had 10 alliance guilds I swear. the best part was everything was cheap, because everyone was poor and didn't have hoards of gold.

toxic tusk
#

I still have my original rogue! He’s horde now and on illidan. Exalted with Sporregar and everyone in Wrath, what rhe hell was I doing with my time

balmy condor
feral dune
#

im just hoping they do the item exchange i requested

balmy condor
#

The what

feral dune
#

i had assassination selected in the drop down menu for the conq vendor, bought a weapon, enchanted and equipped to run a sim, and it dropped to near nothing because its the fist weapon

#

today, the fist weapon isnt showing in the same menu.

primal gazelle
#

ROFL

balmy condor
#

Oh

feral dune
#

yeah, im irritated as shit about it

balmy condor
#

Yeah idk

#

They might just call you an idiot for not checking what you’re buying

#

Or you might get a nice gm

#

Who’ll roll it back

feral dune
#

i dont like sub or outlaw, hoping they can exchange it

balmy condor
#

50/50

feral dune
#

sucks, liked playing assass in pvp better than playing my boomy.

gusty mirage
# deft vault is that any good????

It’s not terrible, I used a 220 for a while. But it was worse than a 213 chain from raid. So it’s okay, not the worst thing you could’ve gotten

balmy condor
#

I hate flayedwing tbh

#

It’s such a disappointing trinket

gusty mirage
#

Yeah it could definitely be a lot better. It’s super underwhelming lol

where ya'll reading about the MA nerf?

okay guys, I have connected to Cosmos and it showed me the future
Next raid tier set bonuses:
2p - Slice and Dice increases Energy regeneration by another 10%
4p - Envenom refreshes your Slice and Dice duration to its 5 combo point maximum

balmy condor
#

I would lose my mind

icy crater
#

What a sick tier set bonus

balmy condor
#

I might unironically switch to sub if that's the sin tier

stark heart
#

why?

balmy condor
#

it's boring, doesn't change any rotation, removes an ability, and simplifies an already fairly simple spec

#

and imo

#

that's really fucking garbage

stark heart
#

I'd argue Assa has too much upkeep now

balmy condor
#

and I would hard disagree

icy crater
#

assa has too mch upkeep?

#

Have you played outlaw?

balmy condor
#

assassination is the upkeep spec

#

having 3 upkeeps is not too much

trim zinc
stark heart
#

well I don't think SnD has any meaningful place in the rotation, it doesn't really add anything interesting

fading adder
#

It’s still less upkeep than warlocks.

warm parcel
trim zinc
stark heart
#

you just keep it because...you hav eit

#

bleeds at least feed you more resources

shy dust
#

Much easier

trim zinc
#

its makes u have more poison aplication lol

stark heart
#

I dunno why they brought it back in the first place

icy crater
#

Just make it passive fuck it

fading adder
#

Fun and engaging.

trim zinc
#

^

stark heart
#

iconic ability, moments of excitement... oh wait, wrong xpac

#

yeah, buffing autos is totally fun and engaging, having more passive damage is what we need

trim zinc
#

i wasnt saying that
i was just saying that inst only u have to keep it up
cuz if thats true why poeple care about envenon buff uptime?

fading adder
#

They should have brought back kingsbane as a either a talent or lego

stark heart
#

rank2 SnD is there because you can't even tell if you have SnD or not realistically without meters, it doesn't affect gameplay unless you have Dashing and even then I bet it's not easy to notice

icy crater
#

How strong is assa execute compared to other classes?

balmy condor
fading adder
#

Meh at best.

balmy condor
#

up there with DK and aff

icy crater
#

warrior/fire mage?

balmy condor
#

fire mage has little execute built in

#

warrior is similar

icy crater
#

condemn seems more than a little no?

balmy condor
#

yeah but condemn is pretty strong

#

but that's the last 20%

warm parcel
#

condemn doesnt add execute

#

it adds opener

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

that too

icy crater
#

DK so strong 😦

stark heart
warm parcel
#

sure, but that doesnt come from condemn

#

Its just inherent to warrior

#

And while it increases warriors dmg by a fair bit

icy crater
#

It's my fault, I forgot fury was a spec.

warm parcel
#

The starting point is so low it ends up still sucking compared to others

Miki was in here simming execute phases and sin rogue is definitely top 3

icy nova
#

hey guys im late to my rogue, was playing other classes for the start. I'm looking at Kyrian for my covenant. Just curious, how often does seal fate mess up getting the exact amount you need for the kyrian ability?

#

critting and getting 1 too many combo points than you need for example

worldly fable
#

You have a big time window to use the marked combo point

icy nova
#

so its not an issue?

worldly fable
#

IIRC its 45seconds

icy nova
#

i see

#

is it any combo spending ability during that 45 second window or only the first one? The tooltip is a little confusing

stoic needle
#

Only damaging ones

icy nova
#

but only the first? or as many as you can fit in the 45 second window at the right combo point threshold?

balmy condor
#

Yeah has to be a damaging finisher on that marked cp

#

The first

#

Finishing on the marked cp consumes the buff

#

So no more marked cp

icy nova
#

ahhhhh i see, thank you

strange python
#

Dumb question, but is there any way to sim another spec in raidbots without grabbing the /simc first

#

I'm at work so can't switch specs 😐

stoic needle
#

That would be cool as shit if you could do it multiple times within the buff window

balmy condor
strange python
#

oh pfft ez

#

ty bb

balmy condor
#

yep

#

you could even change the class=rogue to like

#

druid

#

if you wanted to

#

and sim your gear in feral

strange python
#

and weep over my lack of dps compared to them

balmy condor
#

yeah basically

strange python
icy nova
#

druid is just busted atm

#

press convoke and they fall over

#

in either spec

trim zinc
#

should i use it on cd or when i vendetta+vanish??
(i use MA legendary)

stoic needle
#

on cd

#

in 9.0.5 it won't crit from MA at all anymore

trim zinc
#

even if its 100% crit with legendary??

stoic needle
#

yes

trim zinc
stoic needle
#

you never hold CDs at all as any spec, unless its sludgefist or if the boss is abut to go immune or something like that

trim zinc
#

ty ty <#

split veldt
#

my itemization seems decent? maybe too much vers because of all this pvp gear

balmy condor
#

more than fine

trim zinc
#

maybe im dumb but i couldnt find the thing about shriek trinket

balmy condor
#

what thing

#

the fact that it won't crit with MA in 9.0.5

#

?

trim zinc
#

ya

balmy condor
#

right there

fleet whale
#

it should still be a decent trinket overall

trim zinc
#

ya im dumb LMAO sorry

balmy condor
#

yeah the change doesn't affect any evaluation whatsoever

fleet whale
#

it is a big nerf in pvp though

balmy condor
#

what's good before will still be good, and will be after

stoic needle
#

#TeamFuckSkulkers

fleet whale
#

i just got a 213 from my vault

#

so i'm going to try it

stoic needle
#

my condolences

fleet whale
#

should be fine on sludgefist

stoic needle
#

you'll hate it in a couple weeks

balmy condor
#

it won't be

stoic needle
spice spire
#

skulkers kekw

stoic needle
#

i took a 20 dps loss just to stop using it

fleet whale
#

lol i save cds for when sludge is stunned anyway

balmy condor
#

imo, skulkers is more simbait than IQD

stoic needle
#

that's how shit it is

balmy condor
#

don't @ me

fleet whale
#

don't think i'm gonna get yoinked

spice spire
#

@balmy condor

stoic needle
#

@balmy condor i agree

#

until skulkers has a 50% fail rate in the sim it can't be trusted

balmy condor
#

LMAO

fleet whale
#

you're also not considering that your name isn't Varolyn

#

I hold powers that few know of

balmy condor
#

I had 2/3 casts fail on sludge last week

#

if you can just make the bug disappear

#

I would be amazed

pliant apex
#

if an item is 22 dps upgrade but makes me lose 40 haste, should i use it? i think losing haste just makes the spec so much less engaging to play

stoic needle
#

yes

balmy condor
#

yes

fleet whale
#

yeah you should

stoic needle
#

i had to make the same choice today

pliant apex
#

ah 22 dps anytime over 40 haste

stoic needle
#

feels bad

balmy condor
#

also you definitely will not be noticing a loss of 40 haste

fleet whale
#

the haste feeling thing is mostly mental btw

pliant apex
#

ahh i see

#

oh*

stoic needle
#

back down to 20% haste from 23% now Sadge

balmy condor
#

you might start to feel it if you lose like

#

300 haste

#

but if you're losing like less than 100

#

I highly doubt that you're so tuned into your gameplay

#

that you can actually feel that shit

pliant apex
#

hmmm icic

spice spire
#

I lost 113 haste today FeelsWeird

balmy condor
#

maybe if you're like omega high

#

and it feels like everything is already slow as fuck

pliant apex
balmy condor
#

depends on your definition of too low

stoic needle
#

lets just say that you should definitely work on increasing it

balmy condor
#

too low to be playable? no
too low for your gear? depends on your gear
too low for BiS? yes

pliant apex
#

but still give up 40 in lieu of 22 dps?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

why would you willingly do less damage

pliant apex
#

yea true

strange python
#

So wait one gosh darn minute

#

Skulker's is bugged? Is that why it feels so fucking trash to use?

balmy condor
#

it's bugged to fuck

#

doesn't trigger like half the time

strange python
#

Basically if i don't see my guy jump it doesn't do anything?

balmy condor
#

yeh pretty much

strange python
#

Fuck

#

I just figured it wasn't doing it since I was on the boss

#

Back to hateful chain lol

oak arrow
#

Wonderful Tuesday to be blessed with a weapon 😃

strange python
#

Nice!

#

Would you guys change covenants for 54 dps

shy dust
#

I would personally

#

I like seeing more dps

spice spire
#

I would not

balmy condor
#

I would, but only if I don't mind the covenant I'm going to

#

I don't like the visuals, nor the ability of venthyr

#

so I wouldn't change to venthyr for anything less than like 100-150 dps personally

#

I like both kyrian and fae though

#

so if it's 50 dps between those

#

I would probably change, just cause I don't mind

strange python
#

Yeah I'm venthyr right now and it feels like ass

#

NF is 54 DPS for sin, +96 for outlaw

#

Just a matter of if I feel like actually switching I guess...

stoic needle
#

it's worth it

strange python
#

It's also worth seeing that I am the top venthyr sin rogue NA for heroic

#

lmao

stoic needle
#

i went from venthyr to NF and I wish i'd done it sooner

strange python
#

NUMBA WON

#

lol

stoic needle
#

not hard when there's only 200 of them KEKWW

strange python
#

Hey let me have my moment lmao

#

#4 for mythic..... yikes

#

We venthyr sin rogues are few and far between

balmy condor
#

that's a little high don't you think

stoic needle
strange python
#

RIP me

#

You aren't kidding about Skulker, wow

#

I never bothered checking the damage on it

balmy condor
#

do I look like a kidder to you

strange python
#

ay lil kidder

#

Is there a way to see how much dmg it did on every pull so I don't have to click on each pull

balmy condor
#

just click on "all encounters"

balmy condor
strange python
#

Oh shit

#

Dang look at me go

#

1/568

balmy condor
#

why is that jank?

strange python
#

Because I'm dumb and I don't know what I'm looking at

#

But I see a lot of peaks and valleys

#

and it's not consistent

#

So that leads me to believe the trinket sucks?

balmy condor
#

you're looking at the damage done by you, by skulkers, over 17 wipes of mythic inerva

stoic needle
#

im pretty sure that doesn't count the times you cast it and it doesn't go off

balmy condor
#

the peaks and valleys are meaningless garbage

strange python
#

Yeah that's what I was trying to like track

balmy condor
#

sigh

#

okay

#

lets do this then

strange python
#

Whispyr can you just play the game for me

#

please

balmy condor
#

so this is instances of damage done

#

yes?

strange python
#

Yes

#

oh

balmy condor
#

so all we need to do, is check on how many times you had the buff

#

wait

#

no

#

hold on

#

that's not what we do

#

we have to look at the hits

#

not the casts

#

so this is actually the number

#

so you hit all 36

strange python
#

So the trinket doesn't suck, I suck?

balmy condor
#

in this case, the trinket doesn't suck, yes

strange python
#

HMMMM

stoic needle
#

that's the problem with skulkers

#

sometimes it works fine

#

sometimes it just doesn't work at all

#

it's consistently inconsistent

balmy condor
#

indeed

#

across the entire night, between you and your dk buddy, you actually only missed 1 cast

#

which is quite good

shy dust
#

Also just very bad on boss like council

balmy condor
#

or SLG

#

foreverguy malding

strange python
#

Dang. Maybe that's why I parse so poorly on council

balmy condor
#

so on that log, skulkers pretty gud

strange python
#

Prob not

#

But I'll blame it on that

balmy condor
#

but there's also times where it'll hit immune bosses like on slg or council

#

or just fail to proc entirely

strange python
#

What about this right here though

#

Is that just saying I used it 21 times while spector was out

#

and it only hit spector 3 times

#

so it could have hit boss the other 18 times

balmy condor
#

I would think that the "casts" tab in this case is very jank

#

According to the casts of your character, as well as the amount of buffs you actually had on your character

#

The correct number is 36 casts

strange python
balmy condor
#

So there’s something weird with how it’s tracking casts

strange python
#

Here's another night. So it looks like it actually missed twice that night?

balmy condor
#

39+4+2 = 45 hits

#

If you go to buffs/casts and check how many times you actually used it

#

And it’s 47

#

Then yes

strange python
#

Yep

#

Dang

#

So I can't blame my shitty opener entirely on the trinket

#

lol

balmy condor
#

I’m surprised you’re only missing that little

#

Tbh

#

I’ve seen the buff stay on my character so many times

#

2 in 47+36 is crazy

strange python
#

Pull up one of your logs lets see if our findings are actually similar

balmy condor
#

Yeah maybe I’m trolling

strange python
#

lol

balmy condor
#

I’ll take a look

strange python
#

I'd stalk yours but idk how to type the weird character in your name

#

is Korayn really better for M+?

#

because of trash damage i assume?

mortal scaffold
#

even at 45% haste w procs/buffs

#

i still dont have enough energy

shy dust
#

have enough energy for what

#

Sin is not meant to be a GCD locked spec

#

its a slow paced spec

mortal scaffold
#

that's not what memory of lucid dreams told me

shy dust
#

memory of lucid dreams was similar to what we currently have in apm

mortal scaffold
#

idts

shy dust
#

it was

#

you can check 8.2 apm

#

to now

mortal scaffold
#

i dont ever recall being this energy starved

#

i know because i didnt know it was a thing until this expac

balmy condor
#

I’ve gone over this like a million times lmao

shy dust
#

the only time sin has been gcd locked

#

was 8.3

#

thanks to expedient

balmy condor
#

Eternal palace with memory was just as fast as it is now

shy dust
#

outside of that its apm is very similar to 8.2 with lucid

#

if you dont enjoy the spec play something else outlaw has very high apm

mortal scaffold
#

ive only ever played rogue in 8.3 so

shy dust
#

yes

#

that was an aberration

#

thats not how sin is usually

#

having 70% haste messes with a spec

stoic needle
mortal scaffold
#

i was at 20% last season tho

shy dust
#

We still had other external factors to give us other types of haste

#

like iris and haste procs etc

#

and without expedient they are still probably close in apm

stoic needle
#

that's a 9% failure rate over 38 pulls

split veldt
#

how much mastery does Sin need?

strange python
#

damnnn

split veldt
#

i have 0 right now

mortal scaffold
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

stoic needle
#

there's no real goal or cap

#

just whatever the sim tells you is good

split veldt
#

yeah thats why i have zero, sim says it's the worst

stoic needle
#

lucky bastard

#

mastery is my highest stat after today Sadge

#

i can't escape it

split veldt
stoic needle
#

its cuz you don't have zoldyck

#

that's why

#

at 222ilvl pretty much only your legendary is holding you back

split veldt
#

i see a lot of the top 100 using it on warcraft logs

stoic needle
#

zoldyck is bis

strange python
#

How are you 222 without a leggo

#

wtf

#

lol

stoic needle
#

he's using MA

strange python
#

ohh lmao

#

Saw ring, mind just went straight to Celerity from Outlaw

stoic needle
#

another, 9% failure rate over 10 sludgefist wipes and 2 keys

split veldt
#

granted it's not maxed and my second ring isnt the greatest

stoic needle
#

yeah that's why, if you sim it with maxed zoldyck and an equivalent ring it'd be higher

split veldt
oak arrow
#

i sim that at 213. 🧐

stoic needle
#

yeah i'd like to see what your actual stats are it's weird that you sim that low

#

in my review of my own logs skulkers seems to have a consistent 8-10% failure rate

#

which is horrible

split veldt
keen dome
#

Mind linking your sim? Could be raid buff usage

stoic needle
#

most 220 players in here sim over 6k

split veldt
#

hmm, then wtf am i doing wrong

#

😦

stoic needle
#

u have windfury disabled

split veldt
#

well yeah, i dont have it in my raid

stoic needle
#

turn it on for the sim

#

you always sim with all buffs enabled

stoic needle
#

simming with and without WF doesn't change your gearing priorities, so you just turn it off when you want to see what your actual dps will be

oak arrow
#

run it with Zol, should get an increase during the execute period.

207 sire ring

balmy condor
#

yeh 207 ring won't cut it

worldly bridge
#

hey bois

split veldt
#

gonna have to grind conquest to get a 220 pvp ring

balmy condor
#

hey other boi

split veldt
#

isnt MA better for M+ tho

balmy condor
#

zold

#

the difference is very small tho

#

I personally didn't notice much of a difference between ma and zold when I was testing it

worldly bridge
#

i'm progressing with guildies on MM we've killed Destroyer, first pull on KaelThas in 5min 😄 Does add live long enough for Sin to be viable or should I swap to Sub/Outlaw ?

balmy condor
#

sin is fine

strange python
#

Kael isn't an add fight

balmy condor
#

also true

#

kael is a dps check on shield

strange python
#

Priority is bursting through shields, so you wanna focus ST burst windows

balmy condor
#

and that's about it

split veldt
worldly bridge
#

Soo i'm better off goin classic ST spec ?

worldly bridge
stoic needle
#

lol nvm you just posted the same thing basically

split veldt
#

outlaw still sims higher, fml

#

i hate roll the bones so hard

stoic needle
#

i mean that's so close who cares

balmy condor
split veldt
#

main reason i went MA was so i could use it on a ring and be able to switch back to outlaw if needed

worldly bridge
#

how can i be this low compared to you with more ilvl ? Weapon ilvl ?

split veldt
#

weapons and trinkets are pretty big

stoic needle
#

you have windfury disabled

oak arrow
#

you guys said there were issues with Skulkers too right?

stoic needle
#

yes

split veldt
#

so i should really be on the hunt for a second good ring and use zold in raid and M+?

stoic needle
#

i just went back and looked at my logs and skulkers averaged around an 8-10% failure rate

balmy condor
#

I saw about 10% as well

split veldt
#

sucks, MA is a lot of fun

#

oh well

stoic needle
oak arrow
stoic needle
#

yeah well to do that you need a raid to feed you PI on every fight

#

so

#

good luck

balmy condor
#

I actually really fucking hate MA on sin

stoic needle
#

we don't mention p**n around here

balmy condor
#

PEEN

stoic needle
oak arrow
#

😯

stoic needle
#

peen is the perfect example of why PI logs should be separate from regular logs

balmy condor
#

he still triple garrotes on huntsman btw

#

fucking clown

#

peen is a case study on how you don't need to be good or play perfectly to log

#

just have ridiculous gear, get a PI or 2, and speed kill with a bunch of pumpers

oak arrow
#

haha. sorry i brought him up , didnt know😅

subtle tundra
#

also play an underplayed spec

#

so you dont have as much competition

balmy condor
#

true

oak arrow
#

on a random note, Poisoned Knife is for some reason doing AOE damage and showing up as Fan of Knives on details. at least on lower level content. not sure if thats whats supposed to happen?

balmy condor
#

that sounds like a visual bug

#

logs don't show that

oak arrow
#

i hit one and the rest of the mobs die with it though

balmy condor
#

poisoned knife doesn't do aoe

oak arrow
#

confused me at first cause i only used poisoned knife. but tried it a few times on diff packs and same thing

worldly bridge
#

can anyone tell me where I can improve ? Anything major ?

slender urchin
#

Sin is about 200 dps behind Sub for me...that + sin being generally more forgiving might be a reason to swap

#

I need more haste gear

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

if its within 200, your gear is probably already pretty good

balmy condor
worldly bridge
strange python
#

You only wanna do that if it's like... 1-2 seconds

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

you don't want to hold more than like 2 seconds tops

worldly bridge
#

aight

#

ty

strange python
#

I still do it cuz i like pumpin

#

but i fail

balmy condor
#

imo you should actually just slam it on cooldown

#

regardless of whats happening

worldly bridge
#

i think i failed to refresh dots/snd during expunges / consume

balmy condor
#

slamming it whenever it's available is generally just better than trying to min-max the shit out of it and failing at it like you did in this case

worldly bridge
#

especially SND if i know mechanic is coming, i dont mind missing 4-5sec before runnin away for consume

balmy condor
#

well here you missed about 7 seconds of garrote

#

but you also cast 2 mutilates

worldly bridge
#

that's a lot

balmy condor
#

so you're on the boss

#

you just didn't refresh

worldly bridge
#

i need to learn how to use warcraftlogs better this kind of info is insane

balmy condor
#

same thing here

strange python
#

The info doesn't help though if you don't make the changes 🙂

worldly bridge
#

i will 😄

balmy condor
#

the "7 second" thing is very rough btw

#

the timeline on the graph here is super janky sometimes

#

but the fact that it's not a consistent line is the bigger issue

#

happened here as well

#

it just seems like you're not using the pandemic timer tbh

#

are you letting every garrote tick to 0?

#

but yeh, you had 12 shiv casts over 6:51, which is actually just insanely low

slender urchin
balmy condor
#

I would expect 12 shiv casts over 5 minutes

slender urchin
#

Tons of crit/verse

balmy condor
#

yeah that's fine

slender urchin
#

On a quick sim of stat weights haste was like 1.6~ and the other stats around 1.3~1.0

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

haste will definitely make it better

slender urchin
#

"need" may have been aggressive, but I think I can close the gap between sin and sub substantially by hoarding some haste gear

balmy condor
#

yeah I'm not saying you're wrong or anything

worldly bridge
slender urchin
#

And once I have them near equal I'll switch, since I find Sin easier to play/less punishing

empty crescent
#

is subterfuge or MA better for mythic sire

#

looks 50/50 to me

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

subterfuge because you can double dip on sire and remornia with the subt garotte and it's good for the adds

slender urchin
#

Ahh yes... on a dummy it feels fine TBH, I just want to be able to justify the switch.

stoic needle
#

when you drop down in phase 2, youcan rupture sire and remornia and then vanish garotte sire, remornia and the 2 melee adds, that's huge

balmy condor
#

at least on heroic, the adds don't live long enough for me to take subt

#

sadge

empty crescent
#

good info ty @stoic needle

stoic needle
#

i like sin more than sub and outlaw because you can actually plan your cooldowns around the fight because you don't have a bunch of built in CDR

sacred yarrow
#

I plan my adrenaline rush to be up all the time !

worldly bridge
#

@balmy condor im returning from TLK, im still rusty with pandemic and stuff. U telling me I shouldn't let Subterfuge buffed garrotes tick to 0 ?

balmy condor
#

subterfuge buffed garrotes yes

strange python
#

I can't wait to get home and open my vaulttttttttttttt

balmy condor
#

but normal garrotes no

stoic needle
strange python
#

PF is the only dungeon I ran last week Sinscheme

stoic needle
#

tbh that's how the vault should work

sacred yarrow
#

I wish that's how it worked lol

strange python
#

idk if it works like that or not

#

but

#

I ran 1 key

#

14 PF

stoic needle
#

it doesn't

strange python
#

I better get my god damn phial

stoic needle
#

it's 100% random no matter what

strange python
#

F

#

Pappa needs a wep from heroic sire thoooo

#

this 197 daggie is dragging me down

ionic fox
#

Justifying Sin on Sire is easy.... only damage that matters is p3 and sin murders p3

sacred yarrow
#

That's true

worldly bridge
#

on heroic mode i actually pref Sub @ionic fox

ionic fox
#

This is coming from someone who started rogue in SL and never played sin.

sacred yarrow
#

How much dmg did I do to boss p3 anyways

#

Did u*

worldly bridge
#

cuz 2 shadowstep let u connect to boss much easier than only 1

#

especially when ur guild is messy with soaks

ionic fox
#

Heroic is all about padding so.. yeah xD

spare anvil
balmy condor
#

you picked the exploding sepsis trait

#

and it exploded

spare anvil
#

ah okay, i checked my anima powers and non of them had "explosive inflamation" in it iirc ^^

ionic fox
#

@sacred yarrow i am horrible at navigating logs so not sure

balmy condor
sacred yarrow
#

I just roughly looked at mythic anywyas

sacred yarrow
#

Highest p3 rogue dmg was like 5.9 by sin rogue

#

Highest Outlaw p3 atm is 5.2

#

I think I need to brush up on sin lol

#

U topped p3 dmg

spare anvil
balmy condor
#

sin rogue has some of the strongest execute damage in the game

sacred yarrow
#

Yeah

#

Executes add so much value to specs

balmy condor
spare anvil
#

but on a single boss?

icy crater
#

I think I'm making the jump to NF next week from kyrian

stoic needle
#

tbh if i was kyrian i'd stay

#

hammer of genesis is giga for sin

icy crater
#

How giga

stoic needle
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
icy crater
#

I pvp a lot and kyr is kinda troll

stoic needle
#

ahh that's fair

icy crater
#

with restealth playstyle

#

even though you can kinda meme with kyrian empowered 1 shots lul

stoic needle
#

that's mostly what i was referring to

balmy condor
icy crater
#

yeah I saw

#

hmm

balmy condor
#

it does do a lot of damage though

stoic needle
#

but if you pvp it's pretty valid to switch

eternal portal
#

all i see is there are so many sepsis bugs that keep you from restealths...triggers many pvpers

icy crater
#

Yeah, I think the gain I'd get in pvp from switching outweighs the min/max potential in pve for me personally

stoic needle
#

just don't press sepsis before you re? that destealth thing isn't hard to play around

icy crater
#

rogues have dealt with combat bugs like that for years.. I guess it sucks but its nothing new

#

Even though sepsis is a dot.. its kind of crazy that it does like 5x the damage of ER
*in pvp

empty crescent
#

!guide

stoic needle
#

right?

#

blizzard's balancing is kinda ridiculous

eternal portal
#

yep ER was hitting for like 8k? Mb to much on the 25k hp pools with low versa...but now with nearly 40k hp and peope with 25% versa and more? ER would be fine if unnerfed

stoic needle
#

agreed

#

it was more like 10k

#

but still it wouldn't be that bad

balmy condor
#

ER crits after a symbols on sub was hitting for over 20k sometimes

#

The vers argument is also nonsense

#

But that’s a whole conversation about stats and stuff doing more or less damage

#

Widely speaking it’s a wash

#

Point is, the ER nerf was 100% needed

loud kelp
#

what are u guys using for RBG as NF?

!oh

prisma monolithBOT

Mutilate requires a dagger in both hands, this makes using a non dagger weapons undesirable.

icy crater
#

ER nerf was 100% needed in its state back then. I’d like to see them revert the nerfs to other stuff and see how it plays out.

#

Although now ER can maybe be rebuffed slightly

#

I've been having a lot of fun as assassination in M+, is it still significantly below outlaw? I'm running 14 and 15s

balmy condor
#

it is worse, but "significantly" is a little subjective

#

you can do 20's with sin if you'd like

#

but it will probably be easier with outlaw

slender urchin
#

What leggo are we partial to boys? Zoldyck and Dashing sim the same for me

hollow escarp
#

on tyranical weeks it feels better to play assa than outlaw tbf

balmy condor
#

zold all day

#

I'm not even bothering to craft dashing

hollow escarp
#

that's what makes us shine better than others happymalddent

#

me neither, gonna craft master assassin next

#

r2 into r4

eternal portal
#

would you guys use zoldyck in sanguine depths? its useless at the last boss...thinking about that myself if i use MA for this one.

balmy condor
#

that is one situation where I might use MA

#

but zold is still very good in SD

strange python
#

i did it

stoic needle
strange python
#

i won the game

stoic needle
balmy condor
balmy condor
#

smh

strange python
#

now that I think of it, with all the mock helmets we have that are coming into the game why aren't there any cat ears

#

some gnomish engineering cat ears

stoic needle
#

I kinda wish you could swap gear in m+

strange python
#

we could do some really degenerate shit if we could

#

I'd love it

#

switch to ma on vanish

#

no wait

#

switch to invig dust ON vanish and MA ON open from vanish

#

then back to w/e afterwards

stoic needle
#

You're talking to someone who has 5 different dps sets for my classic warrior depending on the fight length and amount of damage intake

#

That shit is so much fun

balmy condor
#

that was the entire reason why we can't

stoic needle
#

You just bind the sets to your keypad or something and swap every time you drop combat

#

Idc it's amazing

strange python
#

I'd have like my "main dps" leggo, and then just a bunch of 190's for switching lol

#

super degenerate

#

there's already some wonky stuff you can do on Sub openers with rotten dust and finality

stoic needle
#

ENABLE OUR DEGENERACY BLIZZARD

strange python
#

lol

#

I mean it would allow for a ton of creativity, but man... the knowledge gap between peeps who KNOW and peeps who don't

stoic needle
#

Good PepeHappy

strange python
#

lol that's why we already had snapshotting removed

#

RIP fok sin snapshot workaround - you were great while you lasted

stoic needle
#

what was that?

strange python
#

lol just some legion bullshit replacing mut with fan of knives and keeping up your MA boosted deadly poison

balmy condor
#

it was worse than that

strange python
#

incredibly busted

#

super fun though

balmy condor
#

iirc you could throw knife and shadowstep on pull with MA

#

and the poison part would hit first or something

strange python
#

yeah lol

balmy condor
#

and it snapshot

strange python
#

it was so fucked

balmy condor
#

and then reapplications actually increased the damage

stoic needle
#

omg lmao

strange python
#

like a 100% increase in dps

balmy condor
#

so you just kept ramping

#

and ramping

#

and ramping

stoic needle
#

wow i'm sad I missed that

balmy condor
#

it was crazy stupid

strange python
#

for like 2 weeks I was a god

echo cargo
#

that bug lasted for quite a while in terms of how fast they normally fix shit

strange python
#

it was great

balmy condor
#

only lasted like a week and all the logs got invalidated

#

but still

#

was insane

echo cargo
#

yeah i was about to say it was like 2 weeks i think

stoic needle
#

i want a game that rewards my degeneracy but doesn't require me to spend 4 hours getting world buffs

balmy condor
#

85% damage was just poison

echo cargo
#

we had 3 rogues at the time and it shortened all our boss kills by over a minute

strange python
#

I'm only 130 dps behind my Outlaw set now peperogue

#

and thats with r3 legs

stoic needle
#

i would love for sin to have some kind of ridiculous stacking damage effect if you continuously refreshed your dots in pandemic

#

every time you do it they get +10% damage or something

strange python
#

I mean it's good as an idea, but I understand why they shy away from it

stoic needle
#

so by the end of the fight you have +50% damage garotte and rupture

balmy condor
#

that's impossible to balance

#

is the problem

strange python
#

if you ever saw the naked sparkuggs raid you'd understand why they NEVER want to do this

balmy condor
#

like you can cap it at like 20%

#

but then it's irrelevant

#

and if you cap it to begin with

#

then it's like 2 applications and you're there

strange python
#

the ole 100% crit warlock dot spec in MOP was disgusting

#

tbh as clever as we could get with snapshotting I'm glad it's gone

#

it allowed for really horrible imbalances

#

although in defence of it... at least it was available to everyone, I'm not entirely sure that there was a 23% difference between top and bottom in MOP regardless of this kind of bullshit existing

stoic needle
#

i'm watching that video now

#

holy shit lmao

strange python
#

but then... it was usually tanks at the top of the meters too lol

strange python
stoic needle
#

shame it's so hard to balance

#

i'd rather have the top sin logs be about who can keep up the pandemic chain the longest, not who gets fed the most PI in a raid full of pumpers FeelsWeird

strange python
#

I think the thing that's hard to quantify is just how clever the playerbase is as a giant think tank

#

it's one thing for the devs to develop and test (if they actually do) a system

#

it's another thing to give it to a million people all trying to outdo eachother

#

years later... we have rextroy

stoic needle
#

im actually impressed by the amount of shit he can solo

#

Hello I'm looking to build a troll(ish) legendary for a necrolord rogue. How often does the bloodfang bleed/heal legendary proc? Like will i get decent procs bone spike sniping people in random bgs?

balmy condor
#

it works on all combo point generating abilities, and heals you for 50% of the bleed damage

pseudo aspen
#

"combo point generating abilities have a chance to infect"

balmy condor
#

yes

#

oh

#

that one

#

I see

#

I misunderstood

#

its 30%

pseudo aspen
#

Thanks, I will take this into consideration moving forward with my plan.

stoic needle
#

does it proc from only the initial hit or can it proc from the dot as well

balmy condor
#

initial

#

the dot is not a combo point generating ability

stoic needle
#

What about garotte monkahmm it technically doesn't have an initial hit

pseudo aspen
#

The text doesn't specify a hit required

balmy condor
#

that's not how bone spike works guys pls

pseudo aspen
#

He's talking about garotte and the legendary now

Hi im sorry to bother anyone, if there is one legendary to make @ rank 4... cause i want to play mut for fun as im currently OL, should i go for zol or dashing? im guessing zol has more flexibility. thanks!

also I have come to the conclusion

Normal sin, weeb sin, outlaw sin

balmy condor
#

that EP is good

#

but CT is meh

on huntsman

Why one but not the other

because EP is much stronger on 2, than CT is

solid mica
#

anyone here fought M Xy'mox have some pointers? I main outlaw but I've been building a sin set for PvP and certain fights, a lot of fun but I don't have the experience with it yet

fallow otter
#

Whats the questions

#

I've done it on a bunch of specs

#

Help with ghosts? Seeds?

solid mica
#

not just the fight

#

but like your experience as assassination that might be useful I'm pretty new to the spec

#

I'm thinking about rocking it for xymox cause there's so many mechanics that might hinder uptime and it seems like a way better call than playing outlaw on it and having only sepsis as a dot

signal gulch
solid mica
#

also noticed that sin logs highest of rogues on that fight

strange python
#

you're looking at some different logs to me then

solid mica
low girder
#

90th they do, the higher you go past that the better sub does

#

outlaw too

strange python
#

um

#

this is a little painful

#

that doesn't equate to actual numbers directly

#

the majority of top parses are still as other specs

low girder
#

if you're good at sub it's just as good, basically

strange python
#

granted, you'll be fine as w/e

solid mica
#

yeah I know it's not exact, but it makes sense sin would be better on that fight in my ehad

#

head

strange python
#

ehhh

#

first of all your downtime isn't THAT much unless your group hates you

low girder
#

depends how many ghosts you get kekw

strange python
#

secondly... what spec you are is yeah...

#

really

#

it's going to be the last thing on your mind in that fight

#

lol

#

there is some SHIT going on

low girder
#

the difference is super minor, it's way better to play what you're comfortable with

solid mica
#

yeah i figured not sure if it'd be worth just based on my lack of knowledge about it

#

i played a good bit of sub and have outlaw down pretty pat

low girder
#

it's not like sub vs outlaw on huntsman

solid mica
#

i started playing sin in pvp too and it's a ton of fun, feels way better than sub

strange python
#

xymox is basically a wash spec wise

#

the fight will fuck you more than w/e you chose to play in it

#

the biggest tip I could give for mythic xymox is that it's just a beginning to end exercise in judgement
if you don't NEED to use that skill to survive then don't use it
coz you're about to need it

low girder
#

that and soulshape is busted

strange python
#

true

low girder
#

you can literally outrun ghosts with it

strange python
#

but also, don't use it if you don't need it

#

lol

low girder
#

yeah lol

strange python
#

that and if you have 25 mages, then get the 25 mages to do seeds

#

like really

#

like big, big really

#

DO NOT FACE YOUR BACK TO A WALL

fallow otter
#
