Raid row is lol
For sure. The progress is so slow and inconsistent
It's one of my least favorite fights in a long time
I don't think I like anything about it at all
i haven't done that fight yet
for now council holds that title
such an awful fight
the good part about it is when you get to sit in the bench for it π
I'm glad there is now some hyper blaster speed strat for it because frankly
I enjoy it on heroic tbh. All the mythic shenanigans just make it super annoying to progress on
we just started council prog, and I want to slam my face against my keyboard
It's the worst
CN is "Stop DPS: The Raid"
it was cool when we were undergeared and every piece pushed us closer to that threshold
don't want fucked timers on xymox? hold your dps. don't want fucked timers on council? hold your dps. don't want to transition early on denny? hold your dps. in two different phases
but now it's like just turn your character away from the boss and scroll twitter on your phone until we tell you to press buttons
lmao
I think
Xymox is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
its even worse on slg
How are you guys doing Mythic Council? Using Rupture+maybe Garrote on every boss? I know their HP "reloads" after each kill - but maybe that's the way for the bonus Energy?
At least thatβs what our officers were talking about
slg is "hold dps" the encounter

I mean even Sludge there is sometimes a hold DPS depending on when you are pushing into his enrage relative to the pillar crash
Just use garrote on other bosses, don't waste cp/energy by rupturing them
we pulled it like that, but it takes some getting used to with fucked timers tbh
Honestly I now hate our main tank (no, not really.. I love him) because of how many times he's said "stop DPS" this tier
Just makes me rage though lol
Funny how Blizzard can design fights that make people hate each other lol
is worth to delay flagellation to use it on vendetta?
I can be like all the Warlocks and Shadow Priests that seem to mysteriously refresh all their DoTs on every single target right before the stop DPS call π€
so a few questions. we do not hold flag for vend correct? also how viable is vigor because i am SO energy starved. my haste is only 16% unbuffed tho so that is probably the issue there
I love it when people complain about bursting in M+ but I'm never the one who gets flamed for it because of bleeds/poisons
haha
DS should still pull ahead for Venthyr in ST and it's quite a bit as well. I would just recommend sticking to it and just getting a better feel for it. It's not that bad when you get used to it
But yeah, don't hold flag. You can hold it if you know you won't miss a cast (ie. the last flag/vendetta cast of the fight)
One day... 
I've said the same thing since we downed sun king, sitting at 5/6 
we sit people to try to get everyone in the raid team at least 1 box
I can't believe I wasted my whole lockout this week for 5 pulls on sun king
I could've at least pugged shriek and huntsman
oh! how'd the trial go?
They called it after 5 pulls on sun king

Because pugs kept leaving
Apparently some of their regular raiders were 'on vacation and would be back next week'

i'd leave if i joined a guild that needed pugs for raiding
but thats just my standards
not many guilds are lookin for rogues atm ^^
i got lucky, my old guild fell apart but i got invited to the new replacement guild
Don't worry boys, just keep at it and eventually you'll find yourself a new home 
Yeah I don't like the helmet tbh
I'm excited for the new sets in 9.1 to mix and match with
I like my chest/legs
Well apparently they're a new guild trying to get their roster together
How would you guys play Mythic Council? Just single target the current boss to die and just nuke add when it comes? Or do you do some cheeky multidot for energy?
ST
Full ST the target and garrote the other bosses
I don't think the upkeep on that fight is worth it
Basically keep garrote on cooldown, but otherwise just ST blast
is it worth FoN to keep up deadly on the other 2?
FoK you mean? No
Fan of Nives?
I've got 450 haste and play ds just fine
WHO IS NIVES
no+
the gear that sims highest
@balmy condor what is your covenant?
I play venthyr
Make sure to sim the correct talents and change your conduit/soulbinds
hell yeah
im currently kyrian

is assa better then sub in m+?
big dick dps
Then you go outlaw :)
also true
Well, why would I go assa in m+ over sub then
cleave and fun
currently renown 30 on kyrian, if im swapping i go venthyr right?
sims are in the pins
more aoe
renown 40 on kyrian i ment hehe
Thanks for clarifying
what leggo for assa in m+ and raiding then
have you checked the pins
ah, quick question. If i swap cov to venthyr, and then bk to kyrian
do i have to restart at level 1 in kyrian again?
i am sure i get the pis next time 
Basically rank 1. At least in our hearts.
lol
If you had internal bleeding you would have won
I wish I could talk my group into giving me PIs

just bribe your priests

if i had 235 isntead of 210 legy i would gain 1k dps also
https://gyazo.com/ef6e5bb03e81b4fbec16e648f8b8f74b
This still warms my heart every time I look at it 
I think our Priests are pretty much fed up with people asking them about PI
And basically just want it deleted at this point
just send them gold randomly, in the subject line of the mail just put "you know...."
Big agree, it's so unnecessary. xd
I just need to run updated PI sims and see how it shakes out for Assassination and prove my case in Discord
And steal it from the Hunters
Tbh wouldn't be surprised if Assa pulls ahead
sooo... do you guys safe flag for vendetta in raids? I see some that do and some that dont, meaning it shouldnt make much of a difference I guess?
But not sure
hunters are shit for pi in st at least
i think hunters are the best
Let me try if I offset it by 5s actually
Huge 19dps increase by delaying PI for 5s
Sheet1
dps from official simcraft t26 ilvl 226 profiles,with PI used optimally,DPS Gain,sim link,updated,note,seconds at which PI is applied
Marksmanship,6440,6931,491,https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uTPVkuYK1beJMcVkd...
this is what i found
How do MM get 500 dps from PI
Why is haste so good on them?
What do they have that makes them pop-off
More abilities inside wild spirits window
Wild Spirits
a lot of padding
don't know why but Venthyr really feels like a damage loss. Still have to polish my priorities I guess. Still at lvl 21 though
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
!oil
brings people down
Details takes out dmg done to the other bossss
Details has some filtering for the healing mobs
at the start of fight, shitton of passive cleave on 3 targets for many people
@fleet anchor you need to steal it from the holy paladins tbh
oh ok
Honestly a little surprised Assassination is still that low
is there any way to have Details not reset the meter when you vanish-burst on a target dummy?
EP bigger gain with pi
you need dauntless duelist at least for venthyr to really pop off
Ah not sure why I thought Wild Spirits is a 3min CD, that's why it didn't make sense to me. Why is such a giga ability on a 2min cd 
I'll try to see if different talent combo's make PI more worth
Just make up fake sims that show sin the best pi target. What are they gonna do, investigate?
Big brain move
Balancing is hard I guess π€£
has anyone done a comparison of Doomblade vs Zoldyck on execute
thanks
1 more renown and I can try M+ Theotar 
Hiya everyone, I'm not sure I'm in the right place to ask but I'm new to WoW and I've been playing as a Rogue Assassin and someone said I wasn't doing very much damage when I was in a dungeon. I've been reading online what I'm meant to do but I think the max damage I do is like 700-800 on a hit and that's the Ambush one. Does anyone know where I might be able to find out more info? I've been reading icy-veins and trying to improve but I don't know if it's making any difference π€¦ββοΈ I'm like level 46 or something like that so not very high yet!
at that level it doesnt matter, as long as you are learning what the abilities do and how they work together youre good till level 60
Assassin rogue is all about bleeds/poisons, not necessarily big hits with single abilities. You want to use garrote and rupture to spread bleeds on several enemies
I think Ass scales really poorly while levelling too IIRC?
Just use ExecutePatchwerk on raidbots for the optimizer
oh shit pog
ah okay that makes sense
Zoldyck should beat Doomblade for pure Execute though
It does by a fairly large margin as well
yeah otherwise it would never be worth using
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pGTB5CtyUjzQSxbRjMQKQS
Tried all other talent combinations and BS/MA/DS still beats every other combo by far on 5m
yea im interested in the margin
With PI, Exsang is only 18 dps less than Alacrity (with no PI) for me :^)
on Sire - should I keep up bleeds on the Sword in Phase 2?
Yes, sir.
Good luck buddy π
do i use cd's on pull when in sludge?

another question i have cleared all bosses in hc except council, will i get 220 ilevel vault?
If you get an item from Sire/SLG, then yes.
They still have the same ilvls as they do in the raid.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hDmUFDGQAkB4G61EksE1fX
Apparently Benevolent Faerie is not that great on Assa. Who would've guessed 
i did get weapon token from sire
i gave up trying to get loot from sire, i've never once gotten an item to drop off of him and I kill him weekly
and my vault has never given me anything from his pool

and the rare occasion someone rolls their loot I roll 10-20
After some practice you will get a feel for when the sword goes away for Impales and Massacres
You want to refresh bleeds before then
i have trinket and one dagger just need the other one
how does it feel to play sin vs outlaw in slg?
It feels fine but it doesn't really have the tools that's required in the fight
It's great if your team has more than enough dps to deal with skirmishers/commandos and you can just blast boss
Yeah I don't think it's inting but you won't be able to contribute to the burst DPS at all, so it depends on your comp
what is inting?
P3 damage could be pretty giga with Zoldyck
But usually that's not required, getting there is the hard part xd
Well inting in a general sense can be looked up on Google, but in this case meaning to make a bad personal choice about spec at the cost of the success of your raid group.
If your group needs AoE you'll want to play Outlaw or get swapped for someone with burst AoE, but if you have enough of the right classes you'll be able to contribute to boss damage and large add cleave decently enough to not be a burden
okay thank you for the info
But it's not gonna be great for every comp
Yo guys, assassination now the way to go with 9.0.5? Havent touch my rogue for like 3 months or so - dont know if i should focus on combat rogue or assassination now, doing more raids then m+
For my first kill I ran Outlaw but I'd probably can play Assassination on rekills because we have 3 Hunters, 2 Warlocks, a Ret, a Warrior, etc.. and the adds die instantly anyway
Assa is pretty much the preferred spec for most fights in CN, except mythic SLG.
Yeh, I play Outlaw on SLG myself as well and I never play Outlaw.
I swap for raid night, then I swap back after wiping for 3 hours.
I swap spec a lot so I don't really mind at all
I actually didn't have enough conduit energy last raid night to swap to CtO, so I was stuck with Lashing Scars for the whole raid 
It was miserable
CtO makes it so much smoother and more enjoyable to play
Think last time I was sin, was season 1 bfa
Then season two was all outlaw rest of xpac
This is the definition of inting lel
lol
During our sales run last night I was gonna swap to Outlaw for trash
And then I realized I had been testing something earlier and I was on Niya+Assassination conduits with Outlaw instead of Korayn
My dps was... not good
lol
Made the right choice 
Like dropping almost 20% damage with the wrong setup probably
Yeh. I noticed a huge chunk of dps loss in M+ when I swapped from NF to Venthyr
Missing out on Korayn and sitting at 0 renown is an awful lot
But then again, that was the pre-buff Venthyr so that also played a part for sure kek
How long did it take you to get your Renown up?
renown catch up is super fast actually
Took me 2 days to get to 30. But apparently I was super lucky (?) because I did a full LFR run and got 7 renown and a full normal run and got 9.
I was renown 21 after the first day
Oh nice lol
go to 30 with 3-4 days (playing only after work)
Then I just finished the campaign and did a m+ or two and that was it
But I've heard people not getting any renown from any content that they do
Well I'm gonna keep playing with APLs before I make a decision, wanna finish with all the obvious optimizations for the new stuff
There's some sort of a soft-lock in place but no one knows how it works
and I didnt run normal CN, just mythic-hc(8 boss) and 9 lfr
Yeah for sure. Necro looks very interesting tbh
6 dungeons, campaign, and daillies, gg
I'm just on CN farm now so no real pressure to hyper optimize atm
#goals
Haha it does feel good
This tier has been very odd
Not sure I have disliked it specifically but I don't really think I have liked it much either
A roller coaster for sure
There's a few fights that I like and only one fight that I actually despise
Other than that it's kinda meh
Nothing really grand or interesting
SLG is really not a very good fight

Wym
It feels like you are getting nowhere for a long time
Yeh and the mechanics are annoying to deal with
I love litterally afking for a minute so our hunters can have wild spirits
Like we had 150 pulls before we even got to touch Grashaal
Like when the first 3 days of prog look like this
Feels bad man
I hope that our guild just a miracle reawakening and everyone just starts blasting and we clear it quickly
!guide
The slow progress is also really bad for motivation-sake
Like you're not really motivated to try your hardest every pull when it's the same slow shit every time
Xymox also is just a mega suck fight
imo
I hate almost everything about that fight
is assa good for SLG?
It's not reactionary or hard to deal with
It's always very clear what you need to do
And it's always a pain in the ass
Outlaw is still better for progression.
Jk. Seed carriers are the only thing that matter
Koji summed it up pretty well above if you scroll a little
SLG?
ahh, I see. thanks.
stone legion
portal into debuff on seed carrier 
rly need to make a swap, getting tired of playing sub rogue
why? dont you love getting punished on dps severely because you need to do a mechanic and you missed your symbols window?
Sub rogue in 2021 
in 3s or 2s
trying to find the perfect balance
I got to 2.1k as outlaw
both π
Live your best life
you gotta be the first human on earth to be 2.1 in 2s but only 2.1 in 3s in SL
highest in 2s but pushing 3s
My feelings about Xymox:
and is definitely better than sub in raiding
U forgot the raidleader asking you to clear traps with cloak

NAH MAN
I MADE HIM HAVE THE HUNTERS DO IT
MISS ME WITH THAT
i need cloak for ghost so i can parse
Dude force the DKs and Warriors to do it π
Yo... clear traps with cloak... sorry cloak down yo~
Why not raid as sin and pvp as sub

Wait you don't use 2handers?
you dont use int offhands?
I use bow sometimes
Legendary KJ bow
ranged slot, hello?
Definitely the best Rogue weapon
are assassination sims bugged out on raidbots?
... No?
can you be more specific

for raiding is venthyr better?
generally yeah
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pHAfRAs6ek1rbN8UsNJW3H
EP + Vigor + CT sims higher for me on 2 mins with PI on pull. Any CT gamers in the chat? 
Does anyone know how to make certain buffs bigger in plater?
really fun spec. never played it in an raid environment before
need to make my dots bigger
and what leggo do you recomend for balancing pvp and raiding
doomblade
Anyone else swapping to venthyr ? Thinking of leveling up since Iβm 40 with nf
Sweet, I like the tmog better anyway haha :p
Guys I'm simming my stats but they looks weird. Im simming with all the buffs, should I take them off?
im 40 at kyrian, is it easy to swap bk? or is it some kind of cd
shouldn't make a difference
I sim with buffs
And 5 min fight patchwerk, is good to see stats on ST?
yes
Hmm shroud got cancelled sometime in SD without any warning
oh god i hate my guilds council tac i will never get a good parse
Stealth/invis/shroud and similar mechanics are a bit buggy, especially on SD and especially on a Necro.
A new thing of this patch
What would the opener for Necro be?
And do I even sue Ambush as necro over SBS?
He is a god, and his angels PI him
Good
Don't think there is armory for chinese ppl but here is the log gear https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kCcTDYawXKNJV3P2#fight=5&type=summary&pins=0%24Separate%24%23244F4B%24damage%240%240.0.0.Any%24242287619.0.0.Rogue%24true%240.0.0.Any%24false%240^0%24Separate%24%23909049%24damage%240%240.0.0.Any%24242287619.0.0.Rogue%24true%240.0.0.Any%24false%240&source=12
he also gets like 213908532984782374 PI's
which is basically the only reason he's up there
Pls stop looking at his logs
yeah honestly
xDDDDDD not only PI
Stop looking at Chinese Logs with 5 PIs and 3 Fairies lol
and vendetta every 1.5 min
link legit logs then pls

10k
I mean warcraft logs should take the percentage of dmg got by PI or any other player buff given and delete it
lol
or do different rankings for buffed people and not buffed ppl
that calculation is actually ridiculously difficult
if you know how to remove PI damage
please enlighten me

what lol
wtb 100% uptime on pi
yes
Why is blindside that good?
free cp
Lol why doing such a complicated thing when you can just add a check mark to "not display power infusions parses"
good damoge
we love seeing chinese logs from people with 30 external buffs topping meters and then people following them blindly even though they're trolling and the externals are just carrying them
Also good that they only have 229 ilvl so it's very easy to replicate it
or just sort out china 
guys thats racist!!! /s
I said that after
And still not getting R1 
But the problem there is that Priest on your party could troll your parses
Can you link some good logs then

can't blame you guys.

congrats
it was a deplete as well
Just take anyone of these that doesn't have a number on the side column
high number = bad
I mean if you really want to, you can just look at how many of the people that are above you in the ranking got PI, substract and get your rank "over non-pi" people
Whoa this is new. Bloodmallet suggesting Sudden Fractures as the first dps conduit for necrolords now. https://bloodmallet.com/chart/rogue/assassination/soul_binds/castingpatchwerk
unlucky i got sub stats on mine
sin rogue burst is pretty legit now ngl
vers mast on most
that is what the kids would call a 'pogger'
Yeah u're right but some people likes to be the 1. And they wanna see that 1 in their profiles or their 100 in their logs.
sudden fractures wasn't being simmed correctly, SBS ignores armor and is hasted
and it sims like that
also he is using 100% critt leggo ;O

I suspected that like 3 months ago and tested it myself... didnt see much improvement on recount.
Well, then I guess they gotta fall into the PI'd corruption :/
hey guys, just rolled to assa from outlaw, anyone happy to shit on my log? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/bnNFDTcfXJBa9wqt/#fight=last&type=damage-done
And the buffs in 0.5 are mostly to the instant damage, not the dot, so Im not sure what changed
it's one of those things that will show up in an overall but maybe not much on a dummy
Yes, I think so. The problem is when they take PI, fairies, banner. And maybe a lot of people start selling parses to everyone
also not sure why it's taking double potency over gemstone
I ran some M+ with outfractures and then with and my SBS damage was basically identical
Need to refine your opener a bit.
guess ill try again
the sim is fine
226 Decanter sims better than Phial 
seems like the profile is jank
I know that some people will argue about my statement, and I'll tell you that the same argument has been putting on the table over and over when about raid ranking : Yeah people are raiding 7d/7 8+ hours a day to get into top 10, and if you want to get into that top 10 you gotta match the play time
I simmed Dslice because I'm too lazy to sim single target now
how would you change it? π
Same with WCL ranking nowaday
So its gonna have a pretty good market of guilds selling parses with Warrior priest... etc compositions.
https://gyazo.com/7e5b851b86f2ea5d3739bc56c692b5bc
your garrote uptime should be 95%+
skulkers in dslice 
Closer to 98 or 99%+
fuck the sim throw that trinket in the trash
working on better weakauras to track my bleeds
it did 490k damage in a +18 Plaguefall
i bet phial would do more
that ilevel performance doE
thats my first raid as assa just giving it a whirl before i try it for sludge
Ilvl parses mean nothing.
Literally nothing.
And neither does wipe parses
I've heard people say "omg i had 99 parse but we wiped at 30%"
do you all expect that doomblade will remain a strong pick in both pve and pvp? i don't see any reason it wouldn't, but figured i'd ask before committing 4500 ash, as i havent played sin this expansion
No, you didn't have a 99% parse coming
especially wipe parses when you wipe at 7k dps 
yep looks good
lol deviate delight gang
doomblade is pretty sick
coolstorybro
if blizzard nerfs doomblade they're absolutely off their rocker
233 dagger in vault inc 
yeah it seems pretty similar to the meta sub/outlaw legos in that it just makes one part of your kit better, so it would seem pretty weak to nerf it
how much ash for doombringer 225?
thanks
thanks mate
whats best slot for doomblade?
pins say hands
yep hands bc there's 233 shoulders from SLG but no 233 gloves anywhere
Good luck 
Wait, we have pins? 
i dont read pins 
When someone asks for help with their parses, and you comment something disrespectful must make you feel big, looks on screen to feel like a man while he turns around to see his dad beating his mum behind him, sad life, sad write. π¦ 1 Like is 1 Pray for pepe
LOL
Pin's that no one ever updates 
whispyr updates the pins in sin more than any other channel though 
That's big ol' woosh

idk some nerd who sims or whatever
i heard it's a cute animou gril irl

you'd be surprised how many people believe it, even though my face in literally all over this discord


wtf is this
nothing ever happend


is it worth using the sepsis stealth proc on an ambush? seems like a poo poo button outside of blindside
nop
yeah, though so
ilvl parses pepem
i would actually love if they removed torrent from gcd again so i could do an opener without bl/pi and losing a gcd
How long is the consume cast on hungering dest? 5 sec?
6
then we'd have everyone complaining about how OP torrentis
6s, you need to tank one hit
ahhh alright
its not though, it was the silence for m+ that was op
but since its gone they should not have a gcd
AOE interrupt, very balanced
only dispels now
still op 
inside BL I just don't use it
Imagine not pressing it on cd to get that juicy 15 energy
but outside of it, it taking a gcd just means you get 1 gcd of energy regen as well in addition to the 15
win some, lose some
Hey guys do you take Poison Bomb| Crimson Tempest and Zodiaks | Doomblade in Theatre on Tyrannical ?
im not sure if the aoe is worth it in this dungeon
CT and Zoldyck
ToP is a strange place for sure
Saw a bunch of Night Fae's Sin doing 200DPS less than Venthyr's
You can run PB if you want. The difference is not that huge between the two honestly
Is that legit? don't wanna change covs
Yes, Venthyr is the best covenant for ST Assa.
I mean, it's legit to stay on NFs?
You can also try using MA legendary and MFD
It's completely fine.
Nice, thanks
I did a sim with nadija but I did 1 potency with dauntless and it was 50 over niya, nothing huge
double potency with lashing is probably higher
No, DD with Lashing is better.
u go single lashing
yeah, think I simmed well placed steel there
Well-Placed Steel is the only conduit that's worth taking right
its the best unless ur venthyr
whats the point in opening with mutilate in singletarget if you cast SnD next? Combopoints doesnt matter because you refresh it with Cut to the chase right?
The Necrolord covenant conduit can be potentially better for Necro.
u also start applying mutilated flesh and why not a bigger snd
!mut
Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.
Niya sims 148 dps worse for me.
so the dmg from poison blindsite and doomblade is better then ambush? because combo points doesnt matter at all
if you open with ambush and snd you never have to cast snd again too
You can do a 1cp snd and never have to cast it again
Mutilate is just better in so many ways.
But it's quite a small gain, so do what you want
When should I time my instant strike for every normal melee attack?
;-; sorry I'm new to rogue
u mean memory of past sins?
No worries, not sure what you're asking though
I have a move called instant strike and someone said it was supposed to be used in between normal attacks
Instant strike? You mean Shadowstrike or...?
so I didn't really know how to go about using it the right way or if I should even use it at all
There's no ability called instant strike
im sorry sinister strike*
thats outlaw
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
!oil
Ah, you just press it as much as you can
You don't have to time it
But yeh, it's an Outlaw ability. You can ask more Outlaw-related questions in #outlaw
oh okay
Whats teh best shouldbind for venthyr? I wanna sim myself but I'm NF
for assa going dauntless duelist as last trait
you can also just sim the other cov/soulbinds with top gear
it's not though
regardless of what you are currently
scroll down a bit
for m+ too ?
have sin buffs pushed it ahead of sub for most content?
Yes
T.T
so its more worth crafting doomblade over zoldyck
kinda glad it did, more consistent in my own experience
Sub is more fun in my opinion but damn me if it isn't punishing and frustrating
sub is very fun, sin feels so boring π¦
any phial gamers? 
True
hopefully soon^^
i've seen 3 this week 
i still don't have it
still no pox though
I have a 226 pox 
You play outlaw too oshosi?
rarely
why are they backwards?
i think i will dabble in it for pushing higher keys, boosting, and m slg when i get there

why is guides telling shoulders are preffs leggo for doomblade while most high tier are using hands
yo true

they watch infexious
which guides?
Doomblade
Available Slots: Shoulders, Hands
Crafting Preference: Shoulders
guide also says if you dont plan on killing SLG mythic
probably cause of the stats or whatever
@/mystler 
@surreal torrent
if you don't have access to slg shoulders, technically the shoulders are better optimized
Outlaw is the most boring spec for me.
absolutely agree. I hate OL
i dont have thoose shoulders yet, but will have vault i can feel it
is stone legion trinket not good for assa btw?
213 chain 
sorry im not a god gamer dad
it's fine, decent for aoe, but chain, phial, etc are better
Bois
@balmy condor
Is chain dps and healing separate proc

Is it the same
Iβve been curious
I asked guy previously and he thought it was separate
Guys quick question, is assa doing more dps in myth+ now then sub ?
id say it is
in my own experience - yes. Single Target absolutely and AoE also if you skill for it
holy shit sin slaps
cries in 1% inerva wipe π¦ We are progressing her 3rd day now, I hate that everything in this raid is red, can't see soaks
Thanks lads for the info :3
separate
3 healing?
yes
i'm consistently hitting 10-12k+ on bosses on pull in M+ now
Guys, on single target should i use Shiv? i saw so many sins on w.logs and they are not using it at all.
Vent or necro?
i am necro
Shiv doesnβt show on logs
oh
shiv do show on logs nowdays
Cov question was or oshosi
flagellation absolutely blasting
Oof big dam from flag
is this what druids feel like?
what is this from ?
His logs I guess
high ajudicator aleez in HOA....... +10 
How fast can I farm 2.4k valor?
but i do similar dps in higher keys on bosses with pride
p fast if you spam +2s
is the dot from the phial trinket a poison and does it boost doomblade leggo evenom?
no it's not
Lower*
deplete your own key down to +2
I have a pf16
are you actually gonna run it?
you could also make a group saying 'running your +2-+8' or whatever
and carry some scrubs
Iβve seen plenty of carry groups like that
i might have to do that, i need 2400 more valor to max out my ring and gloves
i dont like this 5k valor cap it's not enough
i have a lot of 213 slots i need to replace
anyone have some good weakauras for tracking bleeds that they could share? π

how strong is pi on assa?
Pretty strong but there's better targets
cant find a pi order :p

Pretty sure valor cap isn't you get this number and you're done. It's this is the max, spend it and get more. Probably wrong though
It's a seasonal cap like conquest
Goes up every week
Who knows what the ultimate maximum will be
You'll only be able to upgrade 4-5 items total though
how should we open on AOE with MA legendary and subterfuge? i'm also necrolord
I regret upgrading this non-bis ring
3x garotte sbs ct, sbs > rupture > sbs > rupture
You can replace the first sbs with foK if you'd like to get poisons up on everything
MA should end right after the first sbs right?
we go double oil yes?
does anybody else's combo points randomly dissapear on blizz raid frames
it feels somewhat wasted π¦
hey, engaging with mutilation is better than ambush ?
feels that way but its not
opening*
yes. happens mostly in SoA and NW for me
gotta think of all the crits on autos and poisons
yeah it's annoying as hell
Double stones + agi
usually happens anytime you dismount from something
what are the stats for the master assasin ring? crit haste for mythic+ ?
Vers haste
and snd only after 2 rups?
I believe that's correct
Depends on how many targets but yeah after 2 ruptures is fine
thank you

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.
Ideally you'd still have snd up from previous pack
well, ive done 2 16's as assassination now, did 6k in one and 6.2k in the other (mists). Is it even worth it to multi rupture on 15-16 keys on non fortified weeks? feels like the mobs just die way too quick

thanks man !
I think you just have to for the energy regen alone
I just open 3x garrote --> rupt, snd, then fok + rupture 2-3 more mobs then CT, but by that point some hunter / boomer have deleted the pack
feelsbad
wa
do higher keys?
should probably CT earlier than 35 seconds into the pack if that's happening
That's cuz you snd where you should be ct
It feels like this is not true anymore due to cttc
Well it is
Then the reasoning behind it must have changed. I mean the whole point was to have a better Cp per energy ratio. Now that we don't need to go 5cp SnD we can ambush for dmg and snd.
I get that I'm missing something but I'd like to know what
well, you have poison procs, doomblade, blindside, and the fact that 2cp slice is 18 seconds, and has the possibility of dropping
koji went over this earlier as well, let me try and find that
Oh I understand the Doomblade argument alone is enough
It's a sum of all of the things
Did you guys went vent or necro? Can't really decide I want to play outlaw and assa but I won't raid until next tier on my rogue
That make mut better than the ~500 extra damage

But in m+ situation, it shouldn't be that obvious. If u don't play blindside, and/or doom
Thx I'll check this out
xD that emote
Did u go vampire because of raid? Vent assa in raid looks amazing
I can also pull up the sims I did earlier
Yeah pretty much. It does really powerful single target dps
Flag is a very satisfying button to press now
Hits hard and gives you fuck tons of haste
Hmm hard decision I might be better off with necro since I will m+ until next tier but dunno tbh
why do we open with muti over ambush with MA leggo?
It makes deeper strat sin very nicely paced, you go from slow moments of pooling to very fast bursts of damage
Venthyr is still very good for sin in m+, the haste makes your dots do more damage

Yeah good point actually
Think I will sleep over it and decide tomorrow
In my opinion, going necro still isn't enough to make sin rogue compete with the giga aoe classes. I'd rather reinforce our giga single target damage
Good point again, it's not like we will be best aoe anyway so why not just smash hard on st
And we fucking blast on st
I was doing 12k dps on bosses with pride vendetta lust flag + pot
Damn that's sick
Thats like druid convoke level
I'll sleep over it but will probably join the vampire gang thanks for the help and gn all
Feels bad that a single spell became the reference for "tonz of damageez"
anyone quick way to gear from one spec to another or is just another couple weeks waiting
here's a quick comparison
it's a bit shaky
but you would actually not be able to tell the difference
without cutting the time down
so this is no lust
the only difference in that sim is that one muts, and the other ambushes from stealth
Well I will ambush then I don't like having buttons and not pressing them lol
but multilate can generate up to 4 combopoints
yeah
if it crits
I mean all the ambush stuff I've done in sims adds up to around 1%
but you're free to cast ambush from stealth
it's not a huge difference
its just not min-maxed
sims
Having buttons and not pressing them, are you sure you enjoy playing wow at all then?
New question : how much of a difference between someone pooling for envenoms and someone spamming
good question, lets find out
are we using DS over Vigor now?
That is actually an interesting one!
Cause I for one go zoomer and forget to pool lol
a lot
I've recently realized that this is a huuuuuge area where I can improve. I remember the dayz envenom was more about trying to maintain 100% uptime on poison application buff
so the sim pools in 2 areas by nature
it pools on casting envenom, and it pools before generating
Cuz of EP ?
cause of all sorts of things
flag, shiv, envenom uptime, EP uptime
double dose in bfa
pooling on envenom and generators handles all the cases
do you always align vanish and vendetta?
or can I safely cast vanish if I wanna wait a bit for vendetta for bl
yes
how bad is it for rupture/garotte to fall of during shiv? should I just rupture/garotte during shiv if it didnt get lined up quite right or let it all off?
thanks
not as bad as missing a shiv cast
are we using DS over Vigor now?
if you're venthyr, or fairly geared, yes
I meant in situations where you shiv but rutpure only had like 8 seconds etc so its gonna fall of during shiv/shortly after
hmm ok
and that's why we always say pooling hasn't really been a thing :)
god assa is great
I actually expected the difference to be much higher wtf
so without pooling there is a theoretical difference of about 25-30 dps? wtf
I've done these sims before and it was small as well
crazy and good to know
Thought it could lead to a much higher uptime on envenom buff. Which means more poison procs. Maybe the difference would be more impressive running dashing / master poison / venom rush (I'm not sure these are the names in english tho)
Yeah min maxing the shiv window isn't that big of a deal
yeh no I took care of them all
Aight. I'm not gonna give the slightest fuck then thx π
Sin is really forgiving compared to Sub - not that this is a bad thing at all
really glad it is
I see this the other way around : felt like sub was very rewarding when played correctly.
I mean there is always pooling.
Just some of it is enforced by our trrrible energy regen rate π
Give me that 30 dps tbh
:P
felt the same way in the beginning but now I just can't stand the punishment anymore. Every second not spent on the boss feels just miserable as Sub
yeah
My .5% dps gain

you're actually still casting the same things
so the only time it would ever matter is like slamming an envenom right after another envenom
that would be some uptime loss
but the only times that happen
is when you're in shiv anyways, and want to slam envenom regardless of uptime
Yeah sin feels very reliable now, that's why I committed to the switch
the weird thing about pooling is this
if you're slow, and pool, there's not a lot of benefit, because by the time you get the energy for the next envenom, all the overcap on buffs etc is gone
and if you're fast enough to get to the point where you're overcapping
you also have enough energy to where the overcap isn't important anymore, and you shouldn't be pooling
The reason the DPS difference is so low is really because the uptime of Shiv is just up so much combined with Vendetta
The pooling conditions arenβt hit as much atm
is the SBS conduit supposed to sim higher than the other assassin ones? cause it does for me
no more well placed steel
during shiv you just fire off envenoms
yeah that happens
Zold for keys right?
especially happens after koji put the simc code 1 step closer to the true spaghetti blizzard intended

yeh

"lets make a generator, that has a dot, and a cooldown, and has charges, that you use to aoe, but does single target damage on cast, and then make the dot portion not crit, so we can add a conduit, which then ignores armor, and also is hasted, and then buff it to be affected by mastery. Oh and make the cast a projectile, but melee. Oh and don't forget to make that melee projectile flurry"
- Blizzard probably
if I ever come in a situation where I already have max. combo points and shiv comes off the cooldown should I spent my points before activating shiv or should I take the 1 Point loss and activate it immediatly?

Shiv
i'd say you shiv and go over 1
shiv even if it overcaps
this discord is so helpful. thanks for the 1000th time
thats a lot of words 
you lose 2-3 gcds before getting your first envenom in shiv window
it matches with sbs being a lot of bullshit
seli posted that yesterday
DEFLECT
LMAO
reminds me of those yugioh cards that you need a magnifying glass to read the 8 paragraphs of text on them 
lol I was looking for that
numbing poison can parry 
Bruh
sbs is such a fucking mess of an ability
