Any idea why wowhead guide says craft on shoulders?
different writers with differnt opinions
also because it literally doesn't fucking matter
There are some nice vers haste gloves from m+ too but you gotta get lucky with the vault
Yeah
You could simply yourself with both slots
the difference is extremely negligible depending on what content you do
I had low ilvl hands so it was even better for me
If I don't have a lego would you say doom or Zold should be my first? It's been a while since I've played rogue, sorry for asking questions im sure have already been answered
Depends on the content you do
likely raid, so I'm thinking doom for single target
Doomblade for ST zoldycks for aoe MA for PvP
If you just want to raid, Doomblade is great. If you want to do am+ as well, Zoldyck is the play
Doomblade is fun af
what about zold for p3 sire?
Doesn't matter in heroic/normal. It is generally considered bis for mythic yes.
Mut feels so much meatier
Can confirm, did 2 sire hc kills and had better dps on doomblade lol
I was looking at various builds but didn't see anything specific when to comes to talent choice or stat adjustments if using MA, do we follow the same stat priority and build for various situations?
!guide
yeah I read those.. maybe I missed it..
Crit haste or vers haste?
kk
Vers haste if you want to do some PvP
Right now I'm at 15% versa, I wish I could drop some of that for more haste or Crit. Right now the hardest thing about them adding in valor upgrades is actually getting your hands on the damn item..m
leather is the worst
Is there a bis list for assa
got mine for 35k
shadowghast ring stilll 70k 
Cloth is apparently highest
cloth is by far the cheapest on my server

we are absolutely gaming now bois
Congrats!
Right now to have my 'bis' I need the chest from ToP, the neck from SoA, and the phial
You need premium to do that sim right?
Or did it manually?
premium is so worth it tbh
@stoic needle you better blast, my guild wants to unbench me because they see how much boss damage Sin does, and get this, I might even be getting one of our 4 DKs spots :O
4 dks 
With premium, our guild shares an account
steal that spot brother
I just don’t see enough benefits to justify subscribing
But guild acc sounds nice
the time saved is worth the $3 a month
being able to run 4 sims at once and not wait in any queues is big
on tuesdays i run a dslice sim and patchwerk sim at the same time for my vault
also the larger combination limits for bigger sims
I’m never that in a hurry 😅
But seems nice
Larger combo limit is huge tbf
I want to try all my trinkets for once haha
i leech off shared raidbots accounts, but if i didnt i would 100% pay for it

Is theotar the best m+ choice for aoe?
yep
The time you save from simming is crazy. I’ve been thinking about it just tonight and thought wow I could’ve simmed 5 times while waiting for this one.
!opener
!closer
no need to sim if you dont get gear
sim is telling me to ambush after vanish, using doomblade. is that right?
You are probably miss-interpreted the sim
You could still do 5 at once if you just open up 5 tabs.
maybe the engine is using ambush because it has a blindside proc
I'll admit, new cov, buffs, new gear, all been tempting me to just pay for premium.
yes
go on WCL and look at the diff bosses
only fight I was surprised outlaw was ahead was innerva, but I guess some guilds aren't immuning th adds as much as they could do / getting unlucky
How does immuning the adds work? Just cloak or vanish when you have the circle?
anyone got a WA for mutilated flesh? its not in the afenar group
no, by the time u have the circle is too late. u need to cloak as the mechanic is going out
pre-cloak
How does immuning the adds work? Just cloak or vanish when you have the circle?
@torn atlas
Bubble/Cloak/Reflect before adds come in
if u cloak while u alrady have the circle, the add just spawns instantly and its worse actually
hahah actually, now you mention it, I do remember doing that once and our raid lead was confused how the add appeared so quick.

I of course did not own up to what I had done.
blame the hunter
it's always the hunter's fault 🙂
212 assa rogue doing 5.9k overall in a 15 mists and a 222 mage doing 6.2k overall, I live for these moments
Fairrrrr
Mages need to BURN
🤔 assassination in mythic CN logs are like going up every day lol
facts?
observation
every time someone says CN, I think China
Can’t wait to get my Venthyr renown lvl 6 next week
why is plaguefall a pain to get in
10th percentile 
look at ST mythic bosses if u wanna see impressive assassination stuff on wcl
meaning you can get some damage out of rogue even if completely braindead
why r u looking at meme shit lol
I always knew
exactly
Show us the real mans data ... LFR
i looked at normal
we #1
easy content is great for assassination. once things get hard, things get bad apparently
no
Harder to maintain dots when shits hitting the fan I guess
It's not tbh
still not good enough ugh cant even beat fire mages
lol im not saying no to myself, im saying no to u by quoting myself but it is funnier ur way of interpreting it
hungering has a lot of melee downtime
look at shriekwing
does cloak even last that long? and the other mechanic can still pull u off the boss
All of the st bosses have downtime at some point
but why would you cloak consumption when you have to cloak orbs
a second of consumption or so will touch you yes
Why cloak orbs when you can just proc cheat!
orbs don't even hit hard
im going to assume tho that the top specs at those max results have PI?
99% chance
stop looking at max anyway
doomblade in mists is pretty neat
thats literally the memiest thing cuz its with all buffs and super high luck just look at like 95
What should we complain about now?
scaling no longer being a thing
does crimson tempest plus doomblade single target seem viable at all?
well at least you finally beat fire mages, grats
ass scales like ass
its my image haha, boomie was 226
wondering if CT + Rup + Gar + SBS + mutilate bleed = 25% enven dmg
ct doesnt count iirc, rest does
Not in raids
CT does count
But it's still worse than pb with doom
No
Yeh it won't
i mean i get rlllly high haste as venthyr
Because secondaries have hard DR
as we power creep thru the xpac i can see it happening
same reason why elaborate planning is always bad at start of expac and good at the end
It's still not even close to the amount I was rocking at the end of bfa lol
We simmed it and exsang is worse than alacrity at 127% haste which is the maximum you can get
right but ur nowhere near the flat hste dr
2 leggos we can do zoldyck + doomblade too
Zoldyck+doomblade would be omega pog
more bleed execute, lots of stuff to consider
i prefer dash
And zoldyck will make the doomblade bleed do more damage .. good synergy
dashing scoundrel for more energy
i can imagine that Zold/Doom will be super pog
I think Dash will fall off super hard
as we get more crit regularly
😮
That's the main dps benefit from it
maybe our set bonus be lile
return to legion rogue
critical strike damage of envenom increased by 50%
MA Lego + Nightstalker envenss...
Doomblade+dashing good lord
Reminds me taht I need to start moving towards crafting Doomblades instead of Dashing.
and zold/boots
flaggelation is supposed to be paired with vendetta or just use on cd?
envenom be hitting hard as fuck
Use on CD
100k envenoms 
i can see that being viable once 2 legoos are back
so is assa good in m+ or do i just keep playin secret tech sub MA
For Sludgefist progression I should save Flag and Vendetta for first and third pillar right?
play outlaw
NS+MA Lego + Zoldyck/Vendetta reset
Sin is overall better than sub in m+
i wont touch outlaw ^^
no point in other specs in m+ sadly
I mean I got Ksm as sin so
I got ksm as sub 😎
You know i was so excited and happy that i was going to play assassination again, then our tank decides to go healer and now they are bullying me to paly brewmaster :c
Sing it brother!
Our time has come
Stealth your way past the haters brother
tthe problem with doomblade is it falls off hard with more targets, i can see the general play being MA + Zoldyck, Zoldyck + Vendetta Reset, MA + Vendetta reset for general purposes play
too bad they fail in comparison to outlaw
I wouldn't really call it fail though
once 2 legos
Unless your doing +25 keys assassination is fine.
me no like outlaw, buttons too fast
give us back combo points on garrote
They just need to make vendetta a self buff
Echoing blades pls
we would be wayyyyyyy too op
the design of Vendetta is built so it remains a pure single target cooldown
Even with self buff vend we'd be worse than boonies and fire mage in aoe
I want vein rippers from torghast to replace exsang
you would play vendetta reset in keys
Legit though, people are talking about "oh outlaw is so much better" but does it really matter unless your pushing extreme keys? 😐
they need to buff bleed damage and make it so you can have ct and bomb at the same time
its ok balance and fire will be nerfed buffed in 9.1
Sounds good to me 
and then u would just pull around us when tthe mage doesnt have bust
wwould be sick
but again we would be too powerful in both areas ST and aoe
facts but 25s might be an exaggeration lol
Trueeeee, but you get my point. :X
The top sin rogue on Rio is doing 22s and 23s
well depends. you are running with 4 other ppl. if those 4 are playing min/max and want to get keys done fast and efficient and you (or my lazy ass) are being like "meh" and doing half the dps, is it fair really?
🤔
ive always wondered this actually
If they made subterfuge also give an extra CP for garrote when used from stealth like the BFA trait we would be rlly strong in m+ i feel
that plus MA lego
then again, am lazy, dragging groups down is no problem to me
Sin could be really the play for tyrannical weeks going forward
If your just doing 15~18 keys (most people don't go over 15) assassination is 100% fine.
triple garrote -->CT--> vanish-->Fan---->CT--Fan---CT-- rup rup rup
but if you are topping the meters as assassination, should the party be ashamed? 🤔
Sort of?
I dunno should they? D:
We lack aoe for sure
Thats a big rip
🤔
or balance druid
🤔
i shame my friend who is a balanced druid whenever i beat him
"press convoke harder scrub"
I mean balance druids are amazing on tyrannical weeks 😄
bosses just disappers with their burst lul
they are amazing on any week and in pretty much every content (maybe not in the arena though, I don't know much about it)
insane st burst, uncapped aoe, unmatched utility
ranged
I'm sure they are
got to double down
whats ahead stays further ahead
blizzard roleplaying capitalism
funny thing is blizzard took the only utility feral had left and gave it to the owls to play with as well
like they needed more stuff

its not even like ppl just take boomies for dam. trees are insane for necrotic week / certain pulls
and other pretty strong utility
offheals/decurse/soothe/brez
blizzard has been all in on druids for a while now
idk about that. feral is insane ST, but besides that its not like the other 3 specs are in amazing spots (mostly talking guardian/resto)
Can someone on desktop pls tell me if the rank 1 assa rogue gets PI or something? Cause he has a huge dps lead over everyone
And he is running EP Vigor
Oh okay then nvm
if rogues could have one raid utility, wonder what it could be?
i feel like should just be like some sort of smoke bomb that reduces damage taken or something 🤔
Raidwide crit chance buff
Why not both tbh
I think they should double up on all utility
Imagine if smoke bomb worked like pvp smoke bomb for raid
Multiple classes get physical damage buff, magic damage buff, aoe Dr, etc
Rogue would be insane. For m+ and raid
screw shoehorning more buffs into ther game. rogues "utility" should just be doing 1k more dps than any other class

But then I would just get benched for being a bad player and couldn't blame the class design.
I mean yeah I would love this but I don't trust blizzard to tune things properly
Phial gaming 
That’s honestly the best way to balance it if the don’t want to give out equal utility. Raid utility to class that bring it should be assigned a dos value, those that don’t bring utility should do more dps
Otherwise you get raiders continuing to stack unholy dk’s even though they aren’t S tier dps anymore
do i go CT in m+
whats hilarious is that rogue dps is much lower than classes with utility 😆
you'd think ppl at blizzard would wisen up to this
but hey, buff mages and druids i guess
Yeah you take it on tyrannical and fortified
I didn't like nf tbh
i find it better for m+s
Sepsis was boring
The soulbinds were op
Flag is just the best rogue covenant ability hands down atm
when do i use CT
Maybe sbs is close I haven't tried the new one
only if you don't miss a cast
Keep it up as much as possible even on single target, but don't refresh during shiv
@balmy condor why is everyone saying that you have been spicy lately?
if venth had the soulbinds of nf it would be so op
is that what they've been saying 
idk, I've been a little stressed lately
i like flag, makes the spec feel fun and exciting when it goes off, but i miss the burrs lol
😮 lets spicy up then
patches are stressful man
changes every few hours
gotta keep up with sim updates and hotfixes and bugs and apl optimizations
Yeah
naw, wat the ppl have been saying is that ur guild needs to start mythic w/ the realm open

yo true, we don't pug tho
grats!
still running zold for M+?
RH all sin rogue raid when
also who do you guys use for m+'s maybe im just dumb on who im running
I've been running nadjia for tyrannical
theo
I'll do theotar next week on fort
Change to outlaw lootspec on plaguefall to remove one of the daggers from your loot table
Outlaw loot spec actually has less of a chance of looting Phial than sin
64 items vs 62
But that pox though
What leggo do we run on sun king mythic? 
how bad is theotar for single target?
Hm I'd have to check I don't know off top
the last thing is the best part of nad
euphoria + flag at the same time 
yep, basically sometimes it's completely useless and other times it's a really sick haste boost to keep your rotation going
i had this line up on H denathrius the other day
hooomygod
yeah it lines up one some bosses
i have never gotten 30 flag stacks so fast before
its pretty sick when it does
do I just need one sword to be able to play outlaw or do I need two?
Or mace
ty 🙂
hey guys, just leveled my rogue to 60 and learning assa (usually main feral) and i was wondering a bit about m+. will i be completely useless and need to play outlaw or is it fine all the way until +17s or so?
i see XD
CT is gain for hunts right?
it's fine to 17s for sure but it will be slightly harder to get into groups
people are meta slaves
but i bet you know that already as feral 😛
ah yeah, feral meta atm is spec boomie until 5 seconds before the key starts
then they're stuck with you haha

i'm so close to 2nd dps on hunts on my first mythic attempt
Are y'all stoked about being dope again?
Do i ignore the Ambush proc on sepsis?
how does it feel on packs
farming plaguefall 12-15.. so shit dies fast
got some doom to makeee
with cd u do nice on pack.. without cd.. its just meh.. haha
but on boss ❤️
by meh.. 3 pack mob u can still do 6-7k
nothing to brag
but man. im tired of plaguefalllll...
25 RUN
SEEN PHIAL ONCE
come on
Lol
Sin is just so intuitive...
You're not wrong
we finish at 5+ CP with DS right?
Sustained cleave thoughhhh...
10-20 sec pack...
i was considering spamming +2-4 . then realised how newb people are sometime.. and it took longer then 14-15
but its weak tho 😦
weak is relative though
So...
depend on who ur teamed with
if ur with a mage/boomie. they delete pack most of the time.
and u pump boss
yes
u do keep ct in st in m+
but you use it in place of an envenom
^
no, it's just as stupid
crit is bae in m+
the usage of corruption crimson tempest is identical to m+ now
Poison bomb 1 target?
you take pb single target yeh
And crimson target for cleave and aoe? (2+ targets)
yes

@balmy condor i dont see anyone take ct for cleave like why isnt that a thing ? is that idk like dps loss cuz of gcd or
i would assume its good for fights like sire and inerva maybe?
you take it on huntsman
but there's no point taking it on sire
there's so much single target on sire
all the adds are dead instantly
hmm
Sin is ranking 2nd overall on a few fights I raid, are we that awesome now?
Or just hype
yes
I might have to officially recommit to sin!
pure hype
Mount gay rum
Lol how about when my loot spec to outlaw for my vault this week. RIPPPP
so uhh what patch are they making it so every spec can use the same type of weapons for rogues 😦
none
never
feelsbadman
yo @balmy condor do i ignore the ambush proc on sepsis?
yes
if u know u wont miss a flag cast cuz of fight timer hold for vend
Only thing I’m having Trouble to is adjusting to deeper strat, overall dps increase but the energy regen on the opener before flag feels bad
Anyone know why limit max is levelling a rogue? Limit predicting sin gonna be good for new raid?
I don’t see many logs taking CT for huntsman mythic
Pre much
Where can we see that ranking?

Probably because barghast uptime is pretty low
not totally accurate but we're pretty giga on boss dam
can someone clarify the following from the icyveins guide please?
If you fight 5 or more targets, do not use Garrote at all. Multi-DoT only with Rupture to gain extra energy through Venomous Wounds.
does this also apply to subterfuge buffed initial garrotes on 3 targets?
did you just take the one %ile where assa is top
No it doesnt.
Only min 10th 99th and max sin isn't top on boss dam
I'm also not 100% anymore on whether the quoted line you posted still applies, as garrote does have a fairly decent DPE now. On high target counts the much lower CP generation of Garrote is most likely worth less than the extra CP gained from using Fok instead and maintaining an extra Rupture or two (which has higher DPE than any other finisher besides CT)
thanks man, the math behind it was exactly what i was looking for to help wrap my head around it
I'd have to write a custom APL to check the difference between using Garrote only during Subterfuge and using it as a "builder" as well. The default APL still heavily utilizes garrote that way, the way I used to play the spec (before Shadowlands) it was never worth it due to azerite traits and us running very low haste
that's damage to boss on all bosses
i always use 95th percentile
dunno if theres anything in particular you object to in the guide or youre just joking/memeing :<
why sin rogue not using ambush ?
!bs
Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz
Showcase Video: #assassination message
mutilate can generate more CP and has a chance to proc a free ambush due to us talenting blindside
also assa is top on everything except 99th percentile
thanks man
ill run some sims real quick to see a rough ballpark, but theres definitely a point where fok becomes a much more efficient builder than garrote in terms of overall dmg. that threshold will be different based on the amount of crit you have, and the amount of targets youre fighting
!guide
now we just need AOE so we can m+ as well XD
threshold right now seems to be at 6-7targets
not 5 as written in the guide. ill update it accordingly
thanks for pointing it out 🙂
do u think is it worth to garrote and like low cp rupture on huntsman shades for doomblade buff on maybe 2 envenoms ? probably not right?
theres probably some optimizations that can be made to use garrote as a final CP for example, but the problem with assa on aoe is that it constantly shifts between two modes, where you want to maintain a strong energy flow to spam abilities, but also use the highest damaging abilities each global cooldown, and you have to find a balance between those two
no idea djavad
i dont think ill ever play doomblade
k
is dps on the shades a big problem for your raid?
yeah
is it even worth for me to switch
theres no reason ,really
just passively cleave and continue hitting the boss imo
they die so quickly, i wouldnt do anything but cast CT on them, honestly
yeah true
euphoria lining up with all that is pretty bonkers
106% haste
let's fkn go bois xD
ilvl parses arent really relevant
hover over it how many logs 🙂
xd
217-219
kekw
which camp do i believe? Parse% or ilvl Parse? i've been told both are dogshit and I should look at the other one!
whoever told you to look at ilvl instead of overall
has absolutely no idea what they're talking about
Their brain is in a different galaxy
if anyone seriously told you to look at ilvl parse they were either memeing or dont know anything about logs
ilvl are generally not used for much, and overall parses are only worth something if your gear is good enough to be able to compete with rogues that have very good gear
at ilvl 215, you wont be able to compete with people that have 225+ of course
There's a lot that goes into parsing tbh
my personal opinion is to go with which ever shows im performing better 😄
You can't look at 1 number and tell if you're playing correctly or not
and ilvl parses are hard to compare because 2 people can have the same average ilvl, but vastly different dps potential
i.e. someone with ilvl 220 weapons vs someone with ilvl 200 weapons, but having same average ilvl
I couldnt find reference to it on wowhead but do you mut at 4 cp with deeper strat or do you only finish on 5+?
assuming shiv on cd
finish at max - 1 if your next global would be mut
if you have 2 cp until max, cast mut
cheers
for torghast we run zoldyck or doomblade?
should also check your energy and garrote duration, i.e. you might sit on 5cp but garrote is close to being within pandemic. at that points its better to pool energy, cast garrote once its down to <5.4sec, and finish with 6cp
ilvl parses are a meme but they can give you a rough idea if you're on the right track or not
like if your ilvl parse is really low there are definitely problems going on
Yeah i was memeing not serious
I believe parses in general are a meme
Like do a simple game. Take all 250 first parses on a shit boss like Shriek or Hungering.
Then investigate into personnals logs of these guys, take a look at personnals uses, potions/hs, deaths, damage taken, replays for movement / placement etc...
Everytime you find something definitely wierd, remove the guy from the list.
Facts is that you mighgt end up having very very very few people remaining in your list.
so general question, sorry if this isnt the appropriate place for it, but is Assassination generally doing better since the patch?
A great parser isn't necessarily a great player, but a great player will probably be a great parser
And the worst part, is that you could possibly even find better player that litterally never ended up in the top250 parses, just because they litterally don't care about parses :/
Doing sick dam is just a small part of being a great player
there's a guy I used to raid with who always gets 99 parses, but they refuse to do mechanics
@balmy condor is it worth to go ST with doom for 16+ keys more on tyrannical?
I refuse to do mechanics on heroic 
that's on the tanks
dogshit encounter
!guide
only for certain dungeons where you pull small. your talents dont change regardless. i've tested doomblade on tyrannical and so far i'd only recommend using it in top and plaguefall
osh you run ep ct subter?
yeah
the fact i picked vers over crit for gloves to make haste vers for pve is not a bad thing is it >.<? all i see on most gloves is crit haste
no its not
all it does is change the gear that ends up being bis for you
at worst its like a 10 dps difference
how bad is necrolord for ass?
true which is about .1
but if i were to min max assassination for raid?
i sit at about 30% haste in combat with alacrity up and then even more with thrill seeker or flag
i have like 50% haste pretty frequently
you'd probably want to go venthyr
im trying to balance whether or not i go back to venthyr if i wanna switch to assassination from outlaw
venthyr is pretty amazing for sin and still solid for outlaw
you can't go wrong with it imo
in the NW route it seems like the MA talent doesnt work either
the ma talent never worked with NW weapons
pepehands
!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
i honestly like the new change for necrolord tho so im debating even switching to assassination
ty oshosi
personally i think that the difference between agi pots and stones and phantom fire/shadowcore oil on the sim isn't enough to warrant the variance of phantom fire pots in practice
Question. on Tyranical is ok to go with Doomblade? with st talents? or something similar?
their damage is very inconsistent
i think it works in some dungeons where you pull small like top or pf but zold is still better overall. you never change talents though except maybe vigor over mfd
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
Thx!
yeah phantoms are kinda funky
would rather the consistency of agi if they are that close in averages
yeah pretty much
so with assassination basically being as good as outlaw now is there an overall best still?
pots and stones gang 
sin seems to be notably better for single target damage but outlaw is still the aoe king
per usual
also MA killing spree gives boner
it's not bad though, they use the same gear except weapons
Another question. what would be the opener with Ma on Mplus?
sin and law both love haste crit and vers
ya feels noice
same as normal. 3x garotte fok ct then spread ruptures
Dopamine hit is good. But when out damage boomkin single target as sin
Also feels good
what why
because of the one handed weapons in the dungeon outlaw has 2 more possible loot choices
those stupid chickens will get what's coming to them
Boil em mash em stick em ina stew
i literally did 13k burst on 3rd boss of pf a few minutes ago
lust, flag, thrill seeker, vendetta, no agi pot
Lashings + vendetta is so good
with doomblade
So on sludge, lashings comes up before 2nd pillar
I'm running master assassin right now.
i had 106% haste 
Is it worth to wait
If you pop cd in beginning, hold lashings for charge into 2nd pillar?
nah exsang is garbage now
exsang dog
i'm not sure about sludge timings tbh @limber lion care to comment?
whats the dps difference between sing flag on cd and saving for vendetta?
Vendetta with flag is nutty because the lashes and shadow damage per combo point
is it actually worth holding flag for vendetta at any point after your opener on pull
I don't understand, there is only a single sword in the PF loottable, as well as a dagger. All other loot is the same. They should have the same chances, no?
and what about subterfuge vs master assassin? the talent choices
i figure if you are using MA obviously you dont, but ill be using zoldycks
@stoic needle this advanced sim for oil/pot/food says all are negative dmg? me confuse me brain no worky good
I thought outlaw can't loot daggers
at all
like ur spec has to be set to sub or sin
yes
well if you spec to something else you can loot daggers? 
you can be outlaw but spec for sub/sin
yeah I've had my loot spec set to sin for two weeks now
trying to get daggers
just gonna say phuck it and pvp 
you know what, my bad, i was confusing the vault loot with the actual dungeon loot
trying to swap to sin but I need the weps
it's the same chance to loot it from the dungeon, but less chance from the vault
ah, it's just that I was scared of farming pf the wrong way
post a link to the sim?
oh so the baseline is just the setup that simc defaults to?
yeah
simc baseline is phantom fire, feast, double stone, so that's what your profile is
do u guys run phantom fire or spectral agility in raid
i'll let you guess
agi + stones for prog
yeah makes sense now, tyty 🙂
which is also why the fire feast stone/stone combination is -1 (equal) to your setup
phantom fire for random farm to rng a parse
I can never decide what to pick
I like taking phantom fires in tyrannical weeks on m+
because prideful makes those things do stupid dmg
@strange python .
Ok Sludge, Am i doing Quantum on pull, Vendetta on 1st Pillar and then both on 3rd with hero and pots?
or am i just blasting everything on the first pillar
save everything for 1st pillar
Gotcha i was thinking with the 3 minute CD Quantum and Vendetta would line up on 3rd with hero and be worth. But i guess since its gonna give me haste it wouldnt matter since hero is there, ye?
Depends on how many pillars you’re doing
If you’re doing all 4 then you do: pull, 2nd and 4th pillar
If you do 3 you do 1st and 3rd
!bis
I mean the real play would be to swap to a diff trinket as long as it's not that much less dps overall
ToP is weird, not a lot of bigger pulls for CT
I'm tempted to try poison bomb there but idk
yeah idk
Cube is BIS tho, what would i even swap to?
well i mean like if you have mythic skulker or just anything that lines up better on pillars then that would be better for that particular instance
due to the increased damage
Ahh, gotcha makes sense
226 badge is pretty good
top is prolly our best dungeon since you can just go full ST and smash
u have it for every pillar
I need a 15 SD to full upgrade and im debating if its worth to get it this week or just wait
so guys i missed somethign.. shapr stone + agi pots is the way ?
Morning, just come back. How's assassination across the board now?
May you help me?
I m lost, actually Night Fae. I play outlaw for Dungeon and would play assa in raid ... Necro or Venthyr or I stay as I am ?
well
i am fae and i prefer over venthir.. they are near.. choose the playstile you like more imho
yeah u can stay nf or choose to do more as sin and lose abit for mplus as outlaw
or go necro and gain as outlaw and lose on st
btw if u play outlaw in raid aswell its pretty sick with necro
Very good
i play venthyr since day 1...cos i like the scaling of the haste....nowdays lashing scars is very powerfull even in m+ cos you start flag with 5% haste already....on the other hand sepsis has 2 things....1 gets effected rfom mastery(which is worse stat but still dps) 2 free ambush....personally i would tell you to plat whatever suits your playstyle...both are good and the diffrence is less than 3% on dps....if you ask me tho...i would tell you to go venthyr
Hello Whispyr, are you back full time Sin or still Sub / Sin ?
depends if h focuses on outlaw or assa
I haven’t played sub since the 8% aura buff from like 7-8 weeks ago
Oh Nice.
sub=
I went Outlaw a while ago before even the first 5% Sin buff
i dont know exactly about outlaws hste gain tbh but i play venthyr as outlaw in m+ and its doing good....you can check the other chats pins tho yo check your self what best for outlaws
ik but necro is a more gain for ol than venthyr sbs affected by bs and flurry is big and u can play a reset game with it like mfd breath
I love rogue in all specs, I always play the best. That s why I can switch
My problem is that I doing the booth
or if both probably better to stay nf
Yeah they're all so close tbh, but it's pretty much a line of
Raid - Venth
Balanced - Night Fae
M+ - Necro
Thanks for all the answers
With Night Fae you can be very good with
Nyia in Raid
Korayn in M+
With Sin or Outlaw spec
Im so torn. I stayed kyrian for being 40 this week znd now doing raid and m+ i cant choose -) fae look indeed good but the hype on Vent and Necro is tempting rhaaa
just pick what you like the most tbh, they're pretty close where its not a huge deal
Make a pros and cons list of each and make your decision based on that for your preference
A lot of Night Fae went Necro and they absolutely loving it
I switched from NF to venth and I like it much more, but yea it's a personal preference
feels good
Yes I m tempted by the venthyr s hype too ^^ new flagellation seems great to use
yea idk I've been feeling the same way about flag
I just like that haste too much
pressing sepsis feels like poo
Yeah feels like it doesn't do so much.. But yeah it's a dot. And ofc there is the stealth skill aspect but I didn't like it that much, felt odd having it in my rotation (played mostly outlaw before patch)
I just got to 30 ^^ we will get there!
I'm at 11 :'')
The only benefit I've gotten from this is playing LFR for the first time because I heard it drops it fast
Guess i ll throw a coin for vent or necro ^^
How is that a benefit?
Oh
because you get to witness
this beautiful scene

I've never seen an LFR group play before
it was just really amusing
Man doing kaelthas in lfr take like 25min
LOOL yeah that was what happened to me too
only one healer was healing him the entire time
When u need something else that kill someone ppl dont get it
Xymox is the true end boss
Hey at least when you get charmed on Xymox LFR you don't die from it
people only half to hit you for like half your hp
to break you out
Ya damage are so low its not really an issue usually
and on sludgefist the chains are just outright gone
so the only thing that has to be done properly is tank aiming him at pillars
Never tried sire tho
Sire is fine, you literally ignore every mechanic
you do that in normal too 
Training dummy
!guide
can Assa Rogues not Sprint on water??
Rip useful glyphs
hey guys, can you explain why this guy plays with elaborate planning over blindside? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/56899263?mode=detailed&zone=26#metric=dps&partition=2
Could be getting 8 PIs every boss
Might make EP more attractive
He is also running vigor
Which is definitely a loss at the haste levels he is running with all those pi’s
sounds reasonable, thanks
Does valor work like conquest? As in if you had 5000 and spent 1000 on an upgrade you couldn’t gain more until the next week?
Yes
Ty!
sorry if this has been asked before, is there an guide on openers w/ necro on ST vs AOE /w MA leggo?
!guide
The icyveins one has generic openers
thanks, i looked through them just thought they were a bit dated. Appreciate it and all the work you put in on the disc

Idk but I like it
I think Rogue moved from D tier class to A tier with the 9.0.5 changes
is it normal to not always get 30-stack flagellations
Yes that's normal
It’s actually incredibly difficult to get 30 stack flags
Honestly I don't even know how flag 2.0 works exactly
MA Opener with subterfuge is Garrote garrote garrote CT Vanish Fok Ct Fok Ct right?
If I've got Zold simming within 110dps of DB on ST. I'm likely better off just sticking with Zolds right? Like execute damage is gonna likely make up for that difference.
Like I know it's use combo points after casting spell but ultimately it don't matter much
Or do I just go with another legendary like doomblade for m+
Is it ok to use a 1 button opener Macro? Saw one in a YouTube video and ist helped me a lot to make my opener perfect 😅
What do you mean execute makes up for it? The sim has execute in it. It is straight up that much dps less, however the Caveat here is that in progression, you execute phases tend to be more prolonged and more impactful part of a fight
Ahh true. I wasn't aware that execute was includes in the sim. I assumed the sim was separated with pure ST of Patchwerk and pure execute phase with "Execute Patchwerk"
Guess it all just comes down to how well I can actually execute the rotation then.
Serrated Bone Spike 9% of my dps in dungeons. 7% in single target. So good now.
Shouldn't the bottom of the 'sample ability log' of the sim be showing exactly how much of the fight is execute? It shows 'fluffy pillow' the whole way through on PW sim.
I mean would your rotation change once the target is in execute range? No, that simply just shows you the ability sequence
That's fair. I'm just looking to learn and the sim has never sort of indicated that it included an execute. I just assumed it doesn't purely for the execute sim existing. Guess that's on me.
Is there any other fight than Sire where Zolds would be applicable then? Possibly Huntsman or SLG with the extra targets? Or are the health pools/execute length of the extra adds too small to make much difference?
having smaller health pools just means you're in execute for a shorter amount of time per each but it's still the same %. I think you more want to focus on fights where it's much more important to do damage in execute range and get it over with
sire gets quoted because p3 specifically is the hard part
!bis
doesnt matter which weap enchant goes on which dagger right?
Yeah that makes sense, cheers
!guide
in the icy veins guide it says "Deeper Stratagem can perform very well at higher gear-levels but ultimately falls behind Vigor Icon Vigor in every category."
is it true?
Assassin rogue**
Does rupture have higher prio now that SnD doesn't give 10% energy regen anymore?
Or are white attacks still king
@terse ice depends on gear, sim your character for accurate results.
Snd first, then the new passive will keep it up whole fight
No I think its Rogues as a whole now. We have a good answer to most situations. It's not all in one spec like Fire Mage but if we need ST or execute,, we can go Assassination. If we need aoe or cleave, we can go Outlaw. And of course Sub is viable for pvp and I feel like Sin is underexplored in arena and Outlaw is underexplored in RBGs
youre crazy if you think outlaw was d tier
With the WW and MM bugfixes/nerfs we are not getting decimated in output anymore
In totality I feel like it was in raids. No utility and mediocre damage is bad.
ehh i guess thats fair in a way. overall i wouldnt consider them d though prior to 9.0.5
in my opinion i dont even think the changes are that big unless theres something im missing
It wasn't so much a change to Outlaw that made their niche better, but just more space for their niche to shine since WW and MM aren't performing at a much better level in the same niche
Like those specs were DECIMATING in short term burst aoe
And now Outlaw has more time to work there in comparison
i agree on that 100%. i was getting tired of getting dropped in pugs for those classes xD
or specs rather
Haha yup
Damage output solves a ton of problems
But I think the option that has opened up with the Sin buff is just as important
Like if my guild needs focus for ST on Kael for example, I have a strong option now
When we get to Mythic SLG, I have a strong option
Its incumbent on me now to be able to utilize both options
Whereas prepatch we had one option that wasn't competitive with the multitudes of other classes at any niche or overall
where does the vulpera racial dps come from? just the bag of tricks?
!guides
You still muti snd out of stealth, into muti garrote I believe. Rupture points going to flag is nice but there's not really one concrete answer I think since it changes with the fight sometimes
On Mythic or HC? Normally on HC you'd want to lust the first pillar and use cds on it, on mythic it's normal to lust the 4th pillar. In any case I would sync vend/vanish/flag/shiv/mfd for the pillars whenever you can. So either use everything on pull, 2nd pillar and 4th or everything on 1st pillar and third.
Is assasination viable nowadays ? not reallyy feeling the Outlaw atm
No, DS pulls ahead quite a bit as Venthyr and for other covenants if you're drowning in haste from your gear. Just need to sim yourself to find out
Very viable, one of the best raiding specs currently
hell yeah
its viable, best for raiding i would say. outlaw is still king of m+ though
i tried deeper strat, not sure if its not enough crit, but vigor works way better for me and offers me more consistent dps....
it does sim 42 dps better for me and i am at 6,6k dps @limber lion
what build talent do u guys use on m+? trying to test it a little bit
i'm using 2-2-1-2-2-2-3
That's what I do too
2-2-1-2-2-2-1(!)
windfury totem sims like 170dps buff for me. only encha shaman can put it?
so you guys using vigor over deeper too?
Yep, this is considered the best and feels the best
thx guys!
MFD might pull ahead if you're a sniper-king but takes a lot more work
In M+, you could play with pretty much anything from the third row
It will just feel very different
What about CT? Are you guys using it even in ST fights? Always thought that PB is better for tyra
Always CT
always CT
What you may lose on a ST, you make up for it on packs, very easily
CT is too good to pass up and is consistently your #1 or #2 damage overall
And what you lose on ST isn't even that much honestly.
Yup
what is CT?
Crimson Tempest
Crimson Tempest
TY ❤️
!bis
I was avoiding using CT on ST during non-tyra weeks, good to know.
do you use CT in single target with doomblade lego?
Haven't tested that out yet
my guess would be that you would, if you were to wear doomblade in a dungeon
outside of shiv window
Yes, you use CT in ST even without Doomblade
i think he means whether to use it over PB
Same here. Noticed it on sludge rekill
which legendary is bis for castle ?

Doomblade
but in general, doomblade for more overall, zoldyck if you value execute
sure ? i have seen few assa with the execute one idk why
Check the logs my man
i simc theotar higher than nadija for DS with zoldyck, it's the mastery buff that brings him ahead ?
There's rarely any Zoldyck's any more
Yes and the vers buff from Wasteland
thanks !
Dauntless Duelist is not exactly useful in AoE situations
that's kinda nice cuz we can use same npcs for different specs with how it's done
we use flagellation then skip on second potency
I think that's because all those top logs are rerolls of people who don't have the soul ash to craft two leggos, so they went doomblade and don't have a second one for sin ^^
^ my current situation
doom blade should be placed on hands?
