Wat
I have MA my only leggo and apparently outlaw use it too now?
Ima hold out on leggo tik patch I guess
Tiny toxic blade cs ma ? I guess I’ll at least wait to see if buffs make it better and not make mine now tgen
tiny toxic isn't getting buffed
MA is getting a nerf to poisons no?
MA is getting whitelisted, so it won't work with trinkets or necrotic weapons
other than that, works just like it does now
I'm not sure what the question is
The phrasing on the néed
rogues are the only class that can use poisons
Says rogue abilities and auto attaxks
yes
Yes do procs of poisons count as a rogue ability
yes
Ok
I figured as much like skulkers or something was doing too high
it's mostly a change because of necrotic wake
Why?
Should I run it while I can
But I meant just run it period I don’t m+ much
I need to get all to 5 for patch tho
what?
I know apparently it’s good for everyone somehow except sub pve is finality still?
yeah, but you can play MA on sub as well if you'd like
You need all +5 to unlock tier of valor
MA build for Sin or law ? I'd be interested to see deeper info on how to maximize it for all 3 spec depending on situations. Leggo specific rotation / spec / stat value are hard info to find
It’s used in outlaw I know
MAKS for outlaw
M+ build I believe
it's fine to use on sin as well in keys
MA is just a good legendary
it doesn't take a lot of thought either really
Ye but I can’t get groups as it is might as well be happy fotm
It does in pvp as sub
It’s like everything
it's the go to for pvp
and it's like decent enough in pve for pretty much everything
That’s why I have it but I’m branching out
I’m enjoying m+ just xferred to rich cuz my server was dead I pvp but am enjoying xpac just friend guileless makes it hard to meet moving goalpost thresholds for pugs
Tich
Most of my disinterest was that very few things were even sub uogrades for me from pvp gear
What’s funny is outlaw BIS is half subs n half the lens subs don’t take
So it is an easy transition with MA brut I really think sin is about to form
Fotm
I enjoy the disrupting play style and I think the 5x wound is not known by most players
5x wound what lol
I thought sin got 5 wound stacks
Are you referring to the infinite energy situation where u have 5 targets with bleed and poisoned ?
btw at pve i use DS
personal opinion the difference is like 0.1%
or 20dps
i had a raw gain of 300 energy at hunstman which i like the idea of 6 mutilates extra leading to 15% noms 🙂
none wasted
Playing for 2 days sin, most annoying part is to reapply snd. But damage is real
With 9.0.5 we get rid off snd reapplyin?
yeah
for me most annoying is to NOT use shiv and w8 for the 30% life on dungs to use shiv for the raging xD
messes up my rota
Srsly i sim at 5700 in sin and about 6200 outlaw, in outlaw i was doing 5.6k max on sludge hc with guild for like 6-7 kills, after switching sin this week and going with pug sludge hc to test things did 6.4k, i said to myself whaaat?)) Gona play in mythic with it from now on lol.
And its like 220 daggers only, no luck on drops
i have pretty much the same as you
but im venthyr since day 1 cos i like the idea of haste synergy and i dont have phial xD....im using DS leggo and dps is at ~6k
220 ilvl
I know sims have delta range of dps, but man, wasnt abble to even get same result as sim outlaw on sludge, and here i just surpass it in 1 kill with + 700 dps
There is potential in spec ))
sent you in case you wanna check 🙂
Ye saw it, not bad
Soon gona rewrite some outlaw hc logs with sin ))
Myself
But u play with different leg, i went with MA
Coz no ash yet for forth 235 leg
btw ST and cleave ssins are top.....for aoe i wanna cry 😢
Aoe need to take different talent in last row, and iam not big fan of it, aoe i go outlaw
But ST looks more appealing to me compared to outlaw and sub.
btw i wanted to ask something about flag/venthyr rogues
about the opener
its mut/snd/mut/garr
so am i wrong?
before venthyr rogues apply 5cp rapt
no? wound poison stacks 5 times, that's how the ability works
i use flag and then rapt for the 5 stacks and then i continuew the rota
is that good or bad?
sying this so i wont lose 5 stacks of flag
but i lose gcd on opener
:/ so dunno whats best
@tulip forge only on sin, not sub, thats what i said, someone said iw as wreong idk
rip that guy with the ping, but that's just how wound poison works
that's not a sin thing
lol
@balmy condor
WP@proud ore
?
i didn't understand what you were saying but it was explained later
Ill leave this here for our contentious friend

bruh
wound poison stacks
wound poison stacking to 5
is poisons rank 2
that's sin only
why is this even a conversation
Yes, which i stated, and was refuted, by the guy who always looks to argue things that I end up being riight on anyways
why are we talking about wound poison
same guy everyday

???????????????
i cant read ur insult towards me sorry
who's insulting you?
what do you guys use to track rupture / garrot?
weakauras for current target, and nameplates for aoe
if you want i can share you mine hand made
sure that would be great, I see this one so far: https://wago.io/_mk1VwAEl
sec
I would generally advise against multi-target tracking in bar form
it can get pretty hard to tell which mob you actually need to refresh on
how to paste on discord tho? 
I find my nameplate dots so small 😛
at the risk of sounding like an idiot... just make them bigger?
hahaha, I was just doing that 🙂
wdym just paste the wago link
how to share my wa to discord?
did you upload it to wago
no
you can log in with bnet and stuff
this is what i got but made like A LOT of changes
plus i have sounds on
@waxen maple
probably a weakaura out there for that
I know exorsus has it built in as well on ready check if your guild uses that
ah yea they dont
use name plates?
that an addon?
I have a wa set to blink at top of screen when poisons have 10 mins to wear off. Another that pops if I enter an instance and have no flasks etc... easy to create them
What do we think about assassination with Zoldyck for mythic denathjrius prog? Outlaw looks better from statistics, but I assume not a lot of people have made the switch yet?
assassination with zold for denathrius prog is probably the best rogue you could play
and many players played sin on denathrius for that
Looking at statistics, 15 assa rogues have killed M denathrius. It's still early days, but I tend to agree with you. thinking the execute will be valuable
people like seli swapped specifically for that
You want best dmg you can get at p3, assassination is just perfect for it
coming from nowhere, i lvled up as nf, is venthyr doomblade the build to go for with the new leg update ? or nightwalker ? zoldyck really valuable still ? aaah i played a lot of char and this one the hardest to optimize
I agree. good shit boys, I'll look into it further
nf and venthyr will both be viable, zoldyck will remain a good overall. doomblade is currently bugged, so I would personally recommend dashing if you're looking for sustained single target
You want Zoldcyk no matter what for multi target fights
Whats the issue with doomblade?
basically it's missing the bleed modifier
which means the dot is able to be parried, is affected by armor
and a bunch of other nonsense
thank you bro
Oh, thanks
np guys
is council generally hard for rogues to do good dps on?
theres so much going on, esp as our guilds only casual
it's a single target fight, disguised as aoe/cleave. apart from the waiters
I don’t even rupture another there tbh. Dmg done to target matters instead of overall dps
Yes
As Shizum said it is a single target fight
I stay on the kill target and don’t bother putting and dots on other 2 at all.
Usually waiters arr killed by range
Check the dmg done per target on that figh
To se how you doing
Not the overall dmg/dps
question about cleave, when should i make the switch for cleave? i often notice i put bleeds on main target, then use cds and blow mulitple envenom on boss, then build up cp again before putting gattore and rupture on add, is that correct approach?
should i pop cds later? its confusing
think i delay cleave too much
Ah ok
On huntsman you cleave non stop tbf
Put the add on focus and make a wa to track bleeds on it
You refresh then as normal for pandemics
What would you say is the best overall legendary? Still zoldyck's? I looked at the pins and there was some sort of sim showing Dashing Scroundel first but is that just for specific situations?
you really didnt understand the question i think
I open up with garrote on add and boss; snd, put ruptures on both and swap to main target to vendetta etc , normal burst cycle
Maybe :/
But there is no extra trick to it; you maintain dots on focus while bursting main target
how do i make wa about the bleeds on focus target? im only a casual
on pull, do i use cds on boss before cleaving? whats the cleave rotation
is what im basically asking
You make a debuff tracker with focus target selected on options
ok man, youre really not helpful, thanks anyway
No, you dot both of them, then tou go to burst cds on main target, so you have add dmg going on too
If you burst 1 target for 20 secs with no dots on 2nd; you lose all that opener dmg on 2 targets
Yea, you are doing less dmg than you could
so lets go through rotation , mut-slice-mut-gar-rupture- SWITCH TO CLEAVE- mut-slice-mut-gar-rup-SWITCH TO MAIN refresh bleeds and then cds?
also another question, is it ok to blow cds to refresh bleeds? or always make sure bleeds wont run out while cds?
Refresh bleeds before you pop cds so you get as many envelops as possible into your CD window
If they won’t last the duration of the CD
Do you play Subt or MA on 3nd row?
2nd*
MA
I haven’t played Ma for months, so I am not sure of the opener sequence
dam dude okay
But you want all dots on both
idk why you wasting my time then tbh
Then you vendetta MT and vanish etc
It doesn’t matter if i know the sequence
The core idea is you set up Both targets before you use your CDs
im sure you know what to do, and you mean well, but youre really not the best teacher man.. i think
just giving straight answers is what helps man, like a yes or no for example
Ok then, lets not drag this
thanks for this, it helped
Neat
I suggest you read through this
It has opening sequences for the different talents
my question is of a general nature, assuming i run MA
whats cleave rotation on pull, and how to use cds, blow then on envenom exclusively or can be used for bleeds too
those arent explained specifically in guides
i often delay the cds by 5-10 secs to refresh dots, is that alright?
Yes
You are not trying to get a solid 8 seconds crit window
You are aiming for a full debuff-Buff window within your Vanish Ma duration
On all targets
Mutilate
Potion
Slice and Dice
Mutilate
Garrote
Mutilate if less than 4 combo points
Rupture
Vendetta
Shiv
Vanish
Ambush
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Here’s your opener for MA
Yes to what
So open on your primary target up to the point you would normal vendetta switch to the second target put up your bleeds then continue to burst window in main target
wait whisp said mut slice mut gar then rupture on opener
You rup with less than 4 cp with opener right
If don’t get lucky with crit
Also potion after vanish ?
Either something completely changed
You refresh/put dots on add before you vendetta +vanish on main target
So all dots on both targets crit
That also increase your energy generation
Get your bleeds up on both targets ASAP then burst your main target and maintain bleeds on both targets
You will also do more damage with subterfuge on multi target fights due to the buffed garrotte out of stealth
Do talent choices change much when using MA Lego?
Wait what seems to be the issue here with the rotation
Gotta be really unlucky to not have 4cp rupture after MA Muti + garrote. That means you didn't crit with either hand when mutilating.
You potion before using Vendetta as it lasts for 25s and Vendetta for 20s. As long as you have a potion running for the whole duration of Vendetta.
So before Vanishing.
This is technically not true. You should have snd/garrote/rupture(/ct) running at all times during the encounter, not just for the MA window. The MA window is used Mutilating/Envenoming your main target, or a target that is in execute range.
Pretty sure it's the last 30% of the encounter duration. So on a 5min patchwork it's the last 1.5mins, on 10min it's the last 3mins.
Or you can use an execute patchwork which starts at execute range.
If you still need any help or have questions, feel free to dm me on Disc.
Hey guys. Quick question, does the stat priority pinned message still applies? Haste >= Others ?
More like Mut-Snd-Mut-Gar-Rup-Vendetta-Sepsis-Shiv-Mut-Rupture(add)-Gar(add)-Mut-Vanish-Envenom-Mut-Envenom
Does that make execute slightly overvalued in sims?
Haste is generally the best but it changes depending on your gear. Ilvl is king. Sim yourself for best results.
He was asking specifically if he should dot the add before he bursts the main target. Thus the answer seeems lacking
What do you mean? Zoldyck's starts working at 30%, similar to the sim.
The items/abilities work as they should depending on the time (health) of the encounter. So if Zoldyck starts working at 30%, it'll start working on 1.5mins at 5min patchwork like it normally would.
Blindside's extra effect comes to play at 35%
Since you will be doing more damage in execute phase you will naturally shorten that part of the fight, so it seems weird that it is time based
Ah I see what you mean.
I doubt the apl is intelligent enough to off-set the extra dps gained from an execute to accurately represent the execute-time on a boss.
But I could be wrong, so don't quote me on that.
But it's not a really massive gain anyways.
I'm no programmer so i don't know if this possible, but it would seem more logical to me to have a sim based on a set amount of health rather than a set amount of time
to account for time variance around boss hp% values
The problem is that we're simming everything based on duration and every single spec does different dps. If we have a 1m hp ST fight, it would take a class like assa rogue more time to kill compared to a Marksmanship Hunter, simply because their damage is far higher outside of execute range - which in turn would make their execute shorter and the assa's longer.
Which in turn would inflate Assa's execute even more.
That's why it's stable for all classes and based on the duration of the fight.
It's just much simpler to compare damage between specs when everything is set in stone. On a 5m ST-PW, all classes with 30% executes have 1.5mins of execute time and 3.5mins outside of execute.
okay that makes sense
Btw someone can post screenshot of sin damage on p3 denatrius only boss damage, with all other classes too?
Cant reach wlogs
!guide
What are the best leggos I can currently make for a swap to sin from now into 9.1? I currently have 210 Zolds on Pants, and 235 MA on wrists
the MA is haste/verse and was tailored towards outlaw
Doomblade is simming best for me currently @210 via raidbots, but how is it actually performing currently?
Isn't it better than MA atm?
No there is actually 2 ways of simming Execute.
- Is enemy_initial_health_percentage = X and is the default way the Execute Patchwerk fight style use in non-advanced tab of Raidbot.
- Is enemy_fixed_health_percentage = X which is the old way of dealing with execute but is no longer used, unless some wierd situation.
Basically the way the sim is handles nowaday spawn a "enemy_fluffy_pillow" with a fixed amount of HP and every damage occurence remove health etc... This is obviously made so that the simulation enginge is accurate regarding special powerfull buff that occurs such as bloodlust or execute.
https://i.imgur.com/OjAwFZG.png
https://www.simulationcraft.org/reports/T26_Raid.html
This is fluffy_pillow health in the official T26 sims, note that it takes damage from every single simulations. On this report there are a bunch of DPS spec hitting a single Fluffy_Pillow.
You can clearly see on this graph that the Health of our Dummy friends is droping faster at the begining (due to obivously BL active with all cooldown) and start "slow down" a bit and then decrease faster again around ~120sec and ~180sec and is slow down again at the end (due to everyone being On CD on major ability between 300 and 360s.
So TL:DR : Yes execute is simmed accurately and overall Simulation are accurately dynamics regarding buffs and DPS variation.
Okay sick, I was 85% sure it was fixed. Good stuff Miki
But that's really interesting. How exactly does the program know how much health Fluffy_Pillow would have at the start then if you sim for 5min patchwork as an assa rogue compared to a sub?
So that the health starts at 100% and ends at 0% after 5minutes.
I don't know, it's probably doing iterative simulation.
Like it does a first simple simulation with just basic calculation, amount of cast etc to compute the total amount of damage, then do a simulation with time dps variation taken in consideration (this remove some inncuratie from the precent computation so that the fight "ends" before the dummy hit 0, but it provide a better estimation of dps)
Then you do the process again, iterate this just couple of time and you already have something pretty accurate.
So yeah at the end there is marge of innacuratie, but as I said you only need to iterate this process a couple of time to have the error margin very low (<0.05%)
Maybe it's more complexe than that, idk but it seems to me that it's a pretty good way to deal with it so I'm confident that the engine is using some similar concept.
Damn that's actually pretty sick
does vanish break chains on sludge?
no
ok thanks man
1.7k rio 
YUGE
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
What a gamer!
i do about 1.7k average, but raidbot says i can do up to 3k, but thats with pots and buffs. but i did just switch to assassination, i used to main outlaw, did about 2k average
if these are the numbers you're working with start by getting more gear ^^
what trinket ppl are going for with valor pts phial + ?
Besides phial, dungeon trinkets suck
Iqd is probably the next best
Then maybe infinitely divisible ooze
But theres like 2-4 raid trinkets inbetween phial and the next
whats the general consensus for raid trinkets
my gear currently is 182
they own
Do yall save vendetta for pillar on sludge?
Dreadfire is best, memory and stone legion are also good
Mythic skulkers is better than any heroic trinket typically, its annoying to use but
Pretty accessible
has anyone done any testing on how venthyr is looking?
@strange python assuming you lust on 4th pillar, you vendetta on pull 2nd pillar and 4th with lust
We lust 3rd
then you would save vendetta for first pillar and have it up again for 3rd pillar + lust
Then you vend on first and 3rd pillars
okay nice
That'll work, I'm playing around with sin, I normally roll OL, was thinking about making a leggo, I have a R4 MA, but can craft another R4 for sin as well
Just indecisive but we are running a HC farm tonight and wanted to play around a bit
kind of torn between scound and zol
I would suggest to wait for 9.0.5 to craft Doombldae
but doomblade rn is still bugged I believe even on live so
Nah I feel ya, I'm not hard swapping to sin, I think just to mess around in HC I'll probably just do Zol
Even though it sims 300dps lower than MA for me on ST lol
Did they say when 9.0.5 is out?
I feel like that's a sludgefist specific thing
EP NS MFD with MA on shriek apparently
i'd say so
subterfuge or nightstalker with MA lego on single target?
ty
what is best race for horde assassin ?
Exsang still interacts with sbs on ptr?
What bosses are they killing in 2:30?
shrieking hc mostly
Was there something changed in the API recently to make Zolds sim so much worse?
Envenom was pandemicing
How does the rotation change with MA?
You vanish into big envenoms
Is Doomblade actually far enough ahead in 9.0.5 that ditching the execute is likely to be worth it? I've heard it's oversimming because on PTR it's affected by armor? I know I should just save my soul ash for now but trying to decide what to do
it does less dmg due to the bug, sims like it should

Prob still wait till sin changes before switching personally.
it’s not exactly bad now, especially if you pvp. fight length and adds will determine lego usage (execute).
Isnt doomblade supposed to do tooltip dmg to dummies?
!bis
doesnt work anymore
i noticed
BiS lists ST
T27 BiS gear list - Assassination Rogue - ST,Discord,Whispyr#0001 for questions
Ravenholdt,https://discord.gg/Ravenholdt
No longer being publically maintained going foward into 9.0.5 due to the list not being utilized in a way that benefi...
gives reason why
whysper asked me to remove it
there is no !addon
So is the play to keep with zolds now, or craft something else?
Zoldyck will remain ahead by a large margin in execute range but overall Doomblade, as it is now and whithout bug is more dps overall. Ideally you want to have both so you can play Execute when execute is needed.
Or start a progression with Doomblade and switch later to see if you still meet DPS requierement of early phase
If you have like 7k ashes go on and craft something, otherwise Just wait a little
Why is there no talk on Dashing Scoundrel? Sims well on both ST and Cleave
It's pretty meh in aoe because you don't cast envenom as much. If doomblade gets fixed it'll be worse than doomblade for single target
And it doesn't give execute like zoldyck
If they don't fix doomblade then it'll be good but if they do it's just okay
It’s honestly about equal with doomblade last I checked
Yeah on my gear its 5dps difference ST
Haha that's true, just weighing out my options. Would like to swap to Assa this tier if possible so just playing around in sims atm
I need to resim for pins and stuff
Yeah I'm looking at gear now before 9.0.5
That’s pretty good
How much different are the PTR sims compared to live? Everyone talking about bugs and poor simming right now
what should be the opener on a cleave rotation, ive noticed i spend 20 secs opening, then blowing cd, using them before putting dots on add
should i use cds after dotting up both adds completely?
Applying dots is always the no1 priority except in MA opener window
i use MA
so on huntsman for example, should i dot both targets up, before using cds?
that's how i do it personally, gives you more energy to use on envenoms during vendetta
@tribal marlin why are u hitting 3 platform guys during ur kill 
also is it onl worth rupturing the cabalist next to sire p2? looks like u ignore the other
haven't done it on mythic, but in my experience the one next to sire dies so quick that i'm gonna try only dotting up the far one from him
vanish subt garotte on the 2 cabalists + sire + remornia is big tho
Cttc is a pretty sizable increase, doomblade got an increase as well. The bugs and stuff should all be on live builds I think
how big is cctc % wise?
40 dps 
lol
I hate you ;-;
Aye, big shoutout to mordigen for fixing my rotation 😄
oh thanks buddy
i'm ticking at 4.5dps now.. was at ~3.2 before some good guidaince
yeah, my stealth to double ambush to mutilate to envenom was just not hitting right
sin rotation is very complex
Most complex spec in the game Kappa
Is it bad Im trying to figure out what cttc is
o.O
cut to the chase
that was a tier set in nighthold
Doomblade does that
Its my fav legendary for sure
imagine not getting over 22k 
sometimes i get 56k envenom on ingra maloch with pride 
I see, thank you
Jokes on you, I already have no pride

i just like the sire voice lines when pride spawns
its sick
atleast we have domination affix and god knows what the hell is even that
What’s the best all around legends to make for sin right now? Doomblade or dashing?
I’ve got a haste/verse MA from outlaw currently. I wanna take the dive into Sin though. Just afraid it won’t be that good for M+
Haste Vers is our main stat as Sin
MA is fine for m+
For some reason my ST sims Doomblade was well ahead. Has raidbots already implemented the doomblade changes from PTR?
Hey guys I just finished shadowlands introduction and I dont understand how venthyr and necrolord abilities works, can someone help me ?
for example can I use serrated bone spike with emeni to get a long 10% agi buff ?
no
you can, but the duration is 5 seconds iirc
so the buff doesn't last that long
they changed that because the cooldown is hella short on sbs
and does flagellation do 0 damage, I just have to hit 6 spells at 5 combo to get the max hast ?
flag does damage for every combo point you spend during the effect
yea it makes sense, but are we still wining on number with 3spellx5agix30cd instead of 1spellx10agix1,30cd ?
duno if that makes sense
I mean sure, if you want to compare it like that
the ability damage itself matters, as does the class that's being played
but in a vacuum, we get more uptime I believe, yes
so flagellation hits the enemy for 6% of my attack power each combo points ? seems nice on paper
its currently kinda meh
yea sure
how do i make logs
no recast
so it just will automaticaly stops after 20s and I'll gain the hast bonus ?
if your character was in fight that was logged and uploaded, that can be analysed
omg no more prideful 
what is easier to play in m+ just like rotation and effort wise sin or outlaw?
outlaw is easier
on ptr it's press button, do damage. Then does damage per combo point, and gives haste per combo point, for 12 seconds. The haste lasts 12 seconds after the effect ends
just try it out and I can fcked up flagelation by not activating the ability again 🙂
seems so wrong compared to every other class x)
outlaw's aoe rotation is the same as the single target rotation. it's more effort to multidot imo
it's more work, for meh damage
having played both
but on ptr though
it's mega hype
I actually switched from fae to venthyr yesterday
hwo do i get you the logs from this page https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/area-52/shteen
when will be 9.05 ?
I made the switch earlier this week
hmm got a decent outlaw wep from a wq and may try it out in m+ I don't like the multi dotting upkeep effort
Are you sin main @balmy condor
because i'm tented for necro or venthyr, I hate night fae and kyrian seems bothersome at most to optimise
just like that. You can click on each fight to see that fight
no I'm an outlaw main
9.0.5 releases in March
its like a surprise patch were we are not worthy enough to know the date ?
Probably not this Tuesday, but the following Tuesday could be possible
They haven’t announced anything yet
I see
I'd say the tuesday after that tbh
can someone tell me why i suck
^ you don't lift
So two weeks out
or do i need to link something else
its not bad at all once you get used to it
i just started lifting bro
i find it way more fun than outlul
since I might switch outlaw what is the best for double spec : venthyr or necro (considering 9.05)
venthyr
More fun but much less damage in M+ ;sadge;
your uptimes are bad, seen here:
this opener is wrong
venthyr it is then 🙂
you should be able to get 97%+ uptime on garotte and rupture on 1-3 targets
on a 6:48 fight, you only cast shiv 10 times
I find it hard to believe this is your best simming single target setup
But guys since our mastery bonus only boost our poison and bleeding, why is versa below crit ?
double oil is bad
what should i have other than double oil
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
so i should have 1 stone and 1 oil?
that's probably fine
I personally suggest double stone cause it's not rng nonsense
the few times I use oils early in the expansion they either procced twice, or like a million times
i use the oil potion cause i made a bunch to level alch
we're talking a lot about the oil stuff
but really that's like
the last thing to worry about
okay what's the opener
!guide
all outlined in there
try to read through it, and then test it out on a dummy to see if you can hit your simdps, or get close
if you're nowhere close
that's probably a good indicator that you're missing something in the guides
the most common (and what happened on your logs), being uptimes on dots, and not casting shiv
Does Crimson Tempest stack if used two times ina row for M+?
so only cast once
do yall use weakauras to track shit
yes
ill check weak auras out then
should be casting in pandemic, yeah

if im nightfae do i save shiv for cov ability or just use on cd?
on cd
okay
Does envenom simply boost my deadly poison by 30% procs ? Is that relevant with my poison's passive that deals damage on unit already poisoned ?
correct
Are a huge amount of my damage coming from the combo with envenom, slice and dice, my poison and shiv ? Because I totaly missed that while leveling
how do i get details to not refresh on a vanish?
reset all data and use overall
you can just vanish and then add up all the damage after
so if you hit a dummy for 5 minutes for example
there will be 3 sections
add those all up
divide total damage by 300
and there's your dps
ill just wait till i can parse again and practice my rotation and get some weakauras
Ran a normal/social raid with guild last night as a trial to prove they need me in the team as Sin. Averaged an 81 parse for all runs which felt really good. Overall more comfortable than all Sub runs I've completed.
Feel like Shriek, Artificer and Hungering would have been better switching to Sub tho.
We only cleared to council but assume Sludge would also be a heavily favoured sub fight?
not heavily, but sub is usually better on sludge, yes
except for prog^
when the sepsis procs and oyu garrote does it do 80% damage with subterfuge speced?
no
nothing
for real or am i getting messed wit
nope
You just get a cancel Aura and don't worry about it 
what is the reason is it because of poison proc from mute
ambush sucks when it's not free
I just cancel aura so it reverts from my stealth bar lol
whispyr sir I have a question
ryler sir I might have an answer
kyrian, kleia, subt, 3 cps after muti do I not just er here
ambush and mute give 2 cps if you crit an ambush it will only give 3 compared to mute witch will give 4?
yeah makes sense I was trying to figure out if its bad and im missing something but without mastery buff dont think I am
yeah I don't see why that would be bad either
I guess if you want to really take advantage of the mast buff you could gar mut snd mut er rup
or something
theres no mastery buff because thats a pelagos thing is what I meant 😛
yes
oh right right, we're kleia
yeah in that cast big whatever
im playing with MA bracers cause i dont have a assa leggo yet waiting to see from ptr but when i open i go mute slice garrote mute rupt
seems pretty good to me then when i pop ven i sep shiv vanish mute evis mute evis
then its just play the game from there
I play mfd on fort and vigor in tyran
but they're both good
Hmm. Maybe not worth bothering with then. Assume the lack of potency conduit would diminish the effectiveness if it's not much more favoured.
honestly sin is better on all of those fights
Not on shriek at least, awkward cd timings
how much energy should i pool before using shiv to get 3 envenoms? and is getting envenoms out the priority over refreshing dots during this window?
with vigor I would pool to around 100, with mfd probably 60ish in single target, but the optimal way would be to hold envenom until you're going to overcap, which then automatically pools for everything
envenoms are the priority
overcapping is any lost energy because you're sitting at the maximum
ok ill try to edge on the energy and see how it is. im so used to sub being able to just spam gcds with the burst window and not even look at the enrgy bar.
ive been doing 100. but it looks like im always out of energy. im at around 15% haste
yea I remember switching from sub, takes a bit to get used sin playstyle
Truly? I must be misplaying, will review my logs when I get home. Been a week or three since I fully switched to Sin but feel like those fights I did better as Sub.
Artificer at least, I know I made mistakes with mechanics that were a direct dps loss which I can fix. The other two fights just felt lacking.
Might just be a feels thing.
i guess sub's cooldowns do line up better with the intermissions on shriekwing, but you do more damage during the forced downtime on hungering and artificer for sure
theres no static rotation with zold right? its just maintain dots/snd ?
is there any rules i should know in terms of when to use ambush over mut
would i ever use env at 4+ or just 5
im pretty sure MA is the only legendary that changes our rotation
we dont have any generators besides garotte (and shiv sometimes) that reliably give 1cp, so you always want to finish on 4. dont mut at 4cp just to get to 5 and finish. the damage of envenom scales linearly with CP so as long as you dont waste CP you will do the most damage
well yeah if you're at 5 from seal fate crits that's fine
the main goal is to not waste CP
whats the opener like (i only plan on raiding)
if you're using MA leggo or talent it's mut snd mut garotte rupture. if you're using subterfuge it's garotte mut snd mut rupture
that might change in the next patch with CTTC
@balmy condor ready to figure out the new optimal cttc opener logic? 
I'll prob use one set of talents since im lazy about tomes
go with subterfuge then
you mean what we currently have?
2/3 cp rupture? is that to get the energy gain going
yep
what about a 1cp snd after garotte with subterfuge and using cttc to build up snd duration instead of casting a higher CP snd
im assuming sepsis > shiv after then vendetta
like lust on pull it would be good idea yea
how does sin fare in sunking
am i forced to play CT
or putting up rupture first before SND now that it doesn't give energy
if you want to parse on sunking yeah you need to play CT
sunking is a garbage fight regardless
yeah ill prob like arthritislaw for that
On friday we got invera to 2% twice feels bad man
wish I had execute
It helps whe nwe get lucky and only 1 add spawns
Also i'm assuming we FoK for 3+ ?
4+
you can cloak the adds
if you cloak during the cast of the spell that summons them
Yeah but everyone has to immune
it's random but still worth trying
so say for sire or inverva we're just spreading dots and whoever focus target we env
Like for sire heroic strat we usually clear adds and when hes close to 40% we'll cleave the adds but focus boss
for inerva, i dot up the small add and focus the big add and then swap back to inerva. if vendetta is up just use it on inerva and focus on her. for sire it's similar, you want to try to get a rupture up on sire and remornia when you fall down in p2, and then vanish + garotte sire, remornia, and both adds, rupture the far add and then tunnel sire. in general you want to keep dots up on remornia and sire as much as you can and spam envenoms into sire otherwise
so after thsoe garrote drops dont touch adds?
depends on the dps of your raid
sometimes i have to dps the far one, sometimes we have enough dps that they just die on their own
u said FoK on 4+ would u fok inbetween those 4
Are parses confined to difficulty level? Like are scores for mythic separate to those for heroic?
Yep
Yeah sweet. Makes sense.
4+ includes 4 yeah hehe
Just asking cuz u said tunnel sire
sometimes it's hard to hit all 4 with fok depending on how your tank positions
What lego do you guys use for m+? MA or zoldycks?
you want to get 5-6 bleeds up before you start envenoming. any combination of garottes and ruptures
Okkk
@balmy condor Here's a link of what I was talking about earlier
Doomblade is already simming so far ahead of zold for me, something weird here?

What do you think is happening here
yeah that seems fairly normal
cause it's execute damage and overall damage
and also we all crafted zoldyck like 3 weeks ago before we knew that envenom was bugged
which then hurt zold quite a bit
I see I see
So for a guy that only has a 210 zold, worth building up doomblade / dashing in the meantime and keep it @ 210?
yeah that's fine
Execute legendary is still great for raid?
Does anyone else use plater here? I'm trying to mimic the elvui effect when you target something the nameplate pops out
yeah. execute damage will never not be great
Anyone have a fat assa sim I can compare myself to? Getting the sire set ready
im running lower ilvl rings for stat stack, but still pulling decent numbers.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7MyFi5inxzYW2HUxwAVzVX

only losing 40 dps overall, but down to 212 from 218 , so parses look better lol
I'll be over 6k when I craft my DB shoulder Tuesday.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/88n9KfkJX8HWDmkuNJ2jUg
So doomblade is better for m+?
From what I read, no. Either MA or Zold
doomblade is trash in m+
Whisp when you were doing that dungeonslice stuff with theotar and checking if it was gains to sync vendetta and flag
did you check to see if it was gains with duskblade or na
Since they would be around the same cd
The sync would work regardless of legendary. And the current APL accounts for dusk as well
So the short form is, yes it’s a gain, and yes, it’s implemented
It’s also on nightly already
Cool cool
What was the bug?
Envenom doesn’t pandemic anymore
Less envenom uptime = less poison damage = weaker zold
Well that kinda sucks, I just crafted 235 Zols lol
I guess I can get ready to get Doomblade as well since I'll be using Sin exclusively for st fights
It’s still a good legendary
Yeah I'm not super worried
Like sire is zoldyck stonks
Just means another 3 weeks of Choreghast
Yuuuuuup
I am always personally doing the torghast cap, even if I don’t need a legendary atm
Seems kinda weird to not just do it
I don't want to do things I don't like doing lol
That's why I stopped doing dailies
^
I don’t even do maw stuff anymore honestly
Yea ofc but it’s at most an hour per week
Can't remember the last time I completely a calling on purpose
It’s like 40 minutes
Yeah, an hour I spend playing a game that’s more fun, or doing a key
You’re a rogue you can skip eveurnting
I usually do floors 1 and 2 then skip 4 and 5
I have enough gear that it almost always works
But i don't see the point if I had all the legendaries I wanted
I have semi-slept through torghast so many times
I think more annoying than the ash grind is the vault grind for legs
At least I know what I'm getting for ash
Me Torghast to me is like
Okay did I get the power that resets AR after Sepsis ends?
If so, I win easily
If not. I have to spend even more time on this shit
Sin is easy mode
I've heard that a lot actually
Yeah they just have stupid strong common uncommons
It's actually obese
Torghast is more interesting than anything else in this game besides keys, raid and pvp
And world quests, and transmog farming, and gold farming
It's the least chorelike chore
I'd run torghast on repeat before completing a pet battle.
If you don't over gear it it can actually be challenging
I mean don't get me wrong I don't HATE it
I just don't see the point of doing it over and over when I already had the legendaries I want
I'd rather do torghast twice a week than grind azerite every day
And I don't trust the devil not to fuck us over and invalidate our dust going into next season
I liked it pre-nerf when it was hard
Devs* not devil
Why would they do that though
Csuse they do stupid shit like that all the time
Do they actually?
If anything they will increase the cap and open up more options with it
You tell me why we can't upgrade pre 905 m+ gear?
They're going to increase the cap and raise the ilvl legendaries can upgrade to
They tried the same shit in 8.3 until community backlash hit them
That is dumb I agree
I just don't think they'll get rid of the ash we do have
Just make you need more of it
Like you'll get to empower your legendary and double the effect for more ash or something
Oh and all the stygia people are grinding for maw dailies? Gone with 9.1, new currency needed for gem slots
I mean yeah that's the plan now but the last 2 expansions have been filled with bullcrap like that
I just didn't want to invest 2 hours a week for 10+ weeks if it's gonna be invalidated like so many other things are
Oh that's good news. I haven't grind maw at all😂
Now that I know it isn't, fine, I'll go do Torghast to get Doomblade
Lol that's another funny one
Grind out 144 floors if TC, get a maw mount
Surprise! Next patch you can mount in the maw
I still think they shouldn't let you mount in the maw
I sound a little bit more jaded here than I think I really am
The maw should stay dangerous
I mean I could have told you it was gonna happen with the amount of hitching they get about how unfun the maw is
Bitching*
I mean, the next patch is based in the Maw. It would be tedious af if you still couldn't mount.
I don't see an issue with opening that sort of thing up gradually with each patch. It's no worse than the weekly gating of content at expansion launch.
Added bonus now if you're keen to grind it out early.
I just feel like thematically something is lost by making the maw easy to navigate
It was way cooler when it was a pain in the ass
Make you work to be able to easily navigate it at least like doing tc or the secret mount
Flying sucks
There isn't much exploration to be done anymore
Yeah I can see how people dislike flying.
I lose the sense of wonder when I’ve been everywhere after the first 2 weeks of an expansion in
But maybe that’s me
I mean I’ve done that too
But I’m still taking flight paths
I’ve seen the zones
I’ve done the stories
Idc anymore I just wanna go from A to B
^
nothing in the maw is dangerous
nothing in the world is dangerous, honestly, it never has been. it's just annoying.
if i've seen all the content and done all the grinding just lemme fly imo
sure, but for some people that's a waste of time
although I can understand it completely on PvP realms
I played on PvP for a long time and I didn't have problem with it
but nowadays I'm too old for that shit:P
I just like to get my shit done
disable flying with warmode:)
Yeah I would be fine with not being able to fly in pvp
Like a minute cd after pvp or something idk
That will never happen though lol
No one is gonna gimp themselves that hard in terms of raw time spent
I would just remake the entire concept of world content at this tbh
Like Shadowlands traversal right now would be perfect if we had whistle imo
Not too slow, not too fast
You can get out when you want to
But can't do it too often
tbh flying is not really that much faster, it's just convenience
the maps are not that big
I actually like whistle and flight paths more because I don't have to worry about flying off continent and getting Fatigue death and rez sickness while I'm afk lmao
I played too much mm hunter and forgot my rogue existed
Hey everyone, I started out with my rogue 2 weeks ago and wanted to ask what legendary I should get with the upcoming 9.0.5 changes in mind? Zoldyck, Dashing or Doomblade? Not sure after following the discussions, I'm mostly PUGing stuff, all from raids, m+ to PvP
If you’re doing all content, and you’re looking for 1 legendary, make MA
Ok so I've been doing some testing on PTR yesterday, and this was the max amount of haste I could achieve on a target dummy https://puu.sh/HkZ0l/fe49314d6d.png 😂 👌
Without Power Infusion and Heroism 🙃
Venthyr feels super fun to play with recent changes
Is it still maxing at 30
yeah
Unlucky
this was in combination with Nadija and haste trinket I got from World quest (194 ilvl gives like 650 haste for 12 sec)
It felt a bit like patch 8.3 all over again 😛
Except the exsang part
true
Super AA speed
im very used to this btw.....at 30 stacks of thrill seeker i pop flag and reactivate it at 25+ stacks http://prntscr.com/10a5io4
thats around 30 stacks of thrill seeker flag activasion
tbh i only gain haste cos flag dmg is crap 😦
so i try to sync them best possible

I know im late but I was able to get up to 6155 with my bags + r3 zold I can get on tues 
Thought I'd need more haste from pvp pieces I dont have but it was using crit ench over haste
this apolane guy really just ran a wft sim to flex
Yeah fuck iqd
unless its 226 like that one 
Also wft does almost nothing for assa so who cares
im not that far off tho for it being scuffed ty rae
2.5% dps? 

Iqd is pretty sick for bosses under 3 mins. Longer than that and it's shit.
hahaha because we keep doing the old strategy
as soon as ur healers start padding healing logs and are oom before 3 mins
ur fucked with iqd
just ran fresh sims after a bit of upgrades, according to the breakdown Deadly Poison should be 20% of damage (broken down into 11% an 9%), is this accurate?
ahh, I just noticed it has 2 separate breakdown in details also but I'm hitting closer to 15%
how do I possibly improve that, like it's either applied or it's not, right?
Was the fight duration similar?
Deadly Poison is passive damage and there's a few things that increase it's damage. Shiv-usage (pretty much on cooldown), Zoldyck (how long the target is in execute range), Elaborate Planning and many others.
I wouldn't worry too much about matching the damage of your DP to a simulation
It varies quite a bit depending on the fight
yeah roughly, did 5 min sim Target dummy, Patchwerk and PW Execute and most of the raid fights we did in about 5-5.5minutes.
all 3 show 20%ish for DP damage. Though I looked closer and most of my raid boss breakdowns were like 16-18% and Target dummy breakdown is about 15%.
You should see a lot more damage in your poisons on fights with adds such as Huntsman/Inerva/Generals
But it doesn't matter too much, just focus on other things than trying to match the DP damage.
Yeah, we didnt do generals, but looks like higher for Inerva and Huntsman than it was for other fights. So that checks out.
Yeah fair, just thought I would ask incase I was missing something that should be pushing that damage higher.
Also of course the more damage you do with your other abilities, the less % of damage will you deal with DP.
So you need to look at other abilities as well when comparing it.
But yeah, don't worry about it.
Pog 1 dps higher
!oh
Mutilate requires a dagger in both hands, this makes using a non dagger weapons undesirable.
I wonder if they buff poison bomb this expac, wanna good ol times when it was 50% of damage
Imagine buffing the best ST talent on that row, when Venom Rush has been a dead talent for 3 years now. :--D
But definitely not buffing it. It was really poor game design when your whole spec is reliant on random procs.
Good ole times.. random proc doing 50% of your damage 
Thats kind of like how ww damage with SCK works right now, isnt it?
Idk i havent played ww enough
Sounds like terrible design
Blizzard made a bunch of bugfixes to ww on ptr, so its prob dead now
WW Fixes from PTR this week are listed in their announcements on their discord.
@limber lion imagine 50% generic skills dmg buff 
This is a dps loss btw
