People are decked out in gear on average at this point
do we go duelist or familiar predict? I was seeing familiar bu tlooking at simcraft it says duelist
We 41% with one dps dead for ages
Duelist for ST
So we'll be holding soon
Yeah
Having only one charge of step is painful
I get a bop so I'm gucci
wouldn't duelist be fine for AoE as well, or swap every time? Seems fine to have a "main focus" target that's taking 3% extra while aoeing the rest compared to what, running well-placed steel?
boping a rogue seems questionable
We had a spare bop and I got it this week
So free
Soaked ravage like a moron though and proceed CD
Only boss where i wouldn’t run dauntless is like slg and sunking
We don’t have a lot of great targets. It just kind of worked out that way. One goes to our lock, the other to me. The other potential picks are our two MM hunters but they’re kinda dumpstered right now
Unlimited energy during pillar is pretty solid too
@shy dust those two make sense. Wonder if it'd be easier to just run a different soulbind altogether for those two bosses so you're not having to run back and forth to covenant
no you go double potency
Just swap to 2nd potency
and get summoned back
yea, new to venth. didn't realize how "Awful" the other soulbinds are in comparison
I love the NF binds. They each have their own niche.
It really should’ve been the template
I love everything about venthyr, but the soulbinds leave something to be desired
wow your 2nd priest isnt even piing on pull
thats just so terrible
you should pi both mages on pull
and lock on 4th pillar other is ffa I guess
ye
You need to PI your mages so they get combust ready D;
Well you don't need it but it helps
instead your priest is doing lock 1st pillar and 4th so you just straight up lose a cast
Nah
From speaking with mages in my guild
It’s not needed anymore
But it helps
I'm pretty sure you can only get there with high haste and berserking.
But also fire is one of the few specs who cooldowns on pull
And nah
Guild is alliance and he could get it
O
iits not that few
DK uses CDs on pull too
wait is it only boomie and lock that dont then
if you army pull, you get it for lust + 4th pillar
I'm pretty sure you save army for no?
Oh
Wait really? I thought army was like 5~6min cd
abom limb on pull, 2nd pillar, 4th pillar
army is ~4
yeah closer to 4 I guess
on pure patchwerk, it can go under 3.30
i just checked 1 of my recent hungering logs and i had it at 3.30, even tho there's 2 minor downtime phases
We are talking sludgeboi right? I'm pretty sure you only get 1 army on that fight. 😮
@balmy condor is there any bonespike optimization for st or do you just use them on cd for sin?
I mean unless they give you every PI in the world.
there's no way you only get 1 army on sludge
you easily get 2 armies on sludge lol
it's a 5 min fight
because they use 1 pre-pull probably
maybe they prepul
If you look through the logs, most sludgeboi fights clocks in at 5:30ish
like 90% of them only have 1 army
Some do though, i'm guessing thats why they stack PI on DK's oO
that's always a pre-pull army tho
Fair
there's no need for PIs to get an army back in 5 min
Oh well, you learn something new everyday.
just check the dmg graph
do we want to stack more mastery in m+
more than in single target
which is like
maybe a little
but not enough to warrant searching for it
But the scottish guy said mastery is great!
@balmy condor so what's the math behind mastery scaling slightly better than haste in AOE? the % damage increase from mastery just ends up giving you more damage than the extra ticks from haste?
if i wanna play sin for pvp/ST in raid & outlaw for cleave/m+ what would the best cov overall be?
would all hell break loose if i recommended people in m+ assa:
- haste >= crit
2 vers >= mastery
??
no
if you want to do the most single target damage: venthyr, if you want to do the most aoe damage: necrolord
recommending crit over haste is also fine honestly
yeah i was thinking that
only you can decide which is more important to you @brittle venture
i think giving context is so nice
i shall continue doing that then
cuz ppl just look at the stat recommendations and follow them without knowing why
but if someone understands that it's dependent on target count that may influence their gearing decisions
yeah im trying to actually get people in the know of why they do that or why they press that
instead of following just because they're told
you're doing god's work
makes you a much better player if you actually understand the intricacies of the class
is there a cap on how much haste flagellation will give?
30
30
30%
30% i think
lol
ty lol
enjoy ~12 second bloodlust
speaking of
does vanishing do weird shit with flag stacks for anyone else
had it happen a couple times in keys
where it'll just stop stacking for some reason
I haven't noticed it
i haven't paid attention enough to notice it either
i noticed it one time on SLG this week and i meant to go back to that pull
i dont pay attention to flag stacks at all tbh i just press the button and blast
should we be reliably hitting it? in LFR for renown now and getting like 20-25 usually
20-25 is pretty good
yeah that's normal
in raid no you probably won't ever hit it
schweet
i kinda wish i had a higher ilvl anima battery just for syncing with flag
i think i'm sold on vigor > mfd in dungs
feels like it scales smoothly
also this weeks affixes are actually toxic for assa
but hoo boy law with a 207 mh is fucking trash
at least law has long arms
they nerfed the spiteful melee range thank god
unless you play cloaked in shadow but i ran out of conduit energy
celerity week 
I'm glad i didn't upgrade my ma to 235 this week or i'd be salty
MA+KS is too much fun
celery so boring
maybe someday
yea
i have about 6k ash just sitting here
yeah well i made a finality
probably gonna max MA and then ??

dashing scoundrel master poisoner 



i should do some 2 legendary sims sometime
i'm gonna be sad if it's just doomblade + dashing
dashing scoundrel, master poisoner, mastery stacking, sleeper op 
now you're speaking my language 
dashing + pb is actually usable in keys
@balmy condor do you know if there's a way to sim just an execute phase?
yeh
how much worse is it than CT zold
there's execute patchwerk as a default fight type
does it assume you're out of stealth then? 😄
NGL if you can keep on top of CT it fucking slaps
i've had some glorious CT uptime before
no it'll be like normal
is vendetta too weak of a CD to make duskwalkers bis as our 2nd legendary?
2nd legendary 
I had a 71% Elaborate planning uptime in a DoS17 with spiteful downtime
no, the problem with duskwalkers is that it lowers vend to 70 sec cd
hey i can dream
which is dogshit
how is it dogshit 
if that happens you might be able to make something happen combining it with dashing
if it was 60, it would line up with a lot of stuff
outside of that no
oh yeah, another reason these affixes suck, i cant guage how dps is because half the time im stuck in combat moving to next pack and it drags down overall, its really annoying when trying to test different things
but i can see 70 being fine tbh
30% extra damage is on the better side of cds isnt it
yeah its trash in aoe
but desyncing from vanish just makes it weird
if it's not an even multiple
compared to the other leggos
tbf in a 5 min fight, you could just delay the 2 later vanishes by ~20 sec each
if you have 70 sec vendettas
2 guaranteed +15% damage envenom crits
but that's on exactly 5 min fights 😄
duskwalker's + dashing might be pretty decent, whether it would outsim other combos idk
you'd probably get to 60s that way
throw a little NS in there
double legendaries for every class except mage 
i want 1 leggo with 2 powers instead of 2 leggos
so you can't combine any 2 leggos but only those that go on the same slot 😄

that limits shit too much
but that for sure won't happen
for no real reason
so what would sin get
dashing zoldyck
TTB zoldyck 
real reason is that they wanna re-add tier sets and shit and having 2 slots taken by legendaries is meh
but also, limiting things could be better than having super OP cookie-cutter combos
like, you could choose the combo of your best + 4th best vs 2nd best + 3rd best leggo
deathly zoldyck 
ya but I'd rather they just balance accordingly than add a system like that
doomblade/bloodfang
there is no "balance accordingly" with systems upon systems
this would be pog if bloodfang counted for doomblade
wait this gives outlaw MA + celerity
this game will never be properly balanced as long as they keep their borrowed power philosophy
i'm out
i mean there is though. as soon as u can have 2 leggos, the balance of individuals leggos doesn't matter. the balance of 2 together does, so u just nerf and buff around that fact
maybe this is why they gave the legendaries specific slots 
1 of the primary reasons they wouldn't give us 2 powers on 1 piece is because then ppl who made their leggos in "the wrong slot" would lose their shit on the forums
what, you don't want MA/arbiter? 
i'd like them to add expanded secondary effects to the legendaries but I don't believe that blizzard is capable of that
we'll probably see them let us just boost the effect of them for some extra ash
and change the stats
zoldyck is now 45% under 45% or something crazy like that
thats def the lazy approach
and maybe let us use 2 in 9.2
was 2 legendaries universally loved back in legion?
was it?
yes, but you needed to unlock it or smt
ah
maybe i'm wrong tho, maybe it was 7.1
yep
well, the fact that everyone loved it means that it's definitely likely that it comes back
i was thinking what it was connected to
which is why i kinda think it won't happen here
thing is, current leggos for some classes are bonkers
i have some faith that we won't go the whole exp with 12% BOAT
the fact that rogue's best leggo from legion (MA) is now 1 of the worst says enough
i think if they do that we might end up with like 1 more legendary at 50% power
or something
unless blizzard has completely lost it
and maybe they'll nerf some shit
but tbh think it's more likely we get nothing
yeah, it does
covenants aren't clunky, they're just shit
clunky is blizzard's MO lmao
but they're straightforward
you join a covenant and farm renown
it's not a "1 full lego, 1 half lego" type of deal
9.2 we get class sets again finally. 9.3 they just let us wear as many legendaries as we can craft to get out of having to make tier sets again.
how do you convey to a casual player that they get 1 normal 1 weak lego?
through some jailer tie in
lmao
tbf
back in legion
i felt like they should have let us use all leggos at the end
in bfa prepatch
just for the memes
instead we had some insane proc
Imagine the engagement metrics as people grind torghast every week for ash
ended up being like 15k mainstat or some shit
that was just on the wep tho
i really feel like some of the popular azerite traits from BFA are going to come back
yeah but that was their "end of xpac" thing
and it wasn't prepatch
somehow
it was 7.3.2
like as tier set bonuses or new conduits or something
in prepatch, we had weps completely disabled
yeah that was an experience
the good old concordance of legionfall
and not a good one
yeah those weapons you spent the whole expansion farming to power up?
BYE
get fucked, idiots
wouldn't it be better do sbs after the 2nd mutilate then rupture (assuming the 2nd mute gave 4cp) that way if A. the sbs bugs and gives 1 cp you can garrote rupture, and B. if it doesn't you can just rupture garrote
it doesnt account for bugs
unless it crits obv
which it might have idk
maybe if MA was consistent i would know 
also its a "sample" not an opener
We finally killed sludge tonight yeeehawww, we were stuck on it for literally a month lmao
you have depression ahead, my friend
My guild makes no fucking sense, so I wouldn't be surprised if we dunk on SLG in like 100-125 pulls
yea but going off samples because i keep getting ignored
but if the apl does that consistently
wouldn't it be an improvement to swap the sbs in earlier
No
But if you got 4cp obviously you would garrote into rupture
And then continue
And the apl does that
but wouldn't 4 cp + the 2 from bonespike into a 6 cp rupture be better
than a 5 cp rupture?
or is it about getting garrote up earlier
for venomous wounds?
Garrote earlier
There’s actually no downside to a 5cp rup except inefficient energy

it also only uses sbs when it's about to cap on charges
wouldn't it be more efficient to use them to force 6 cp
when you have 4
that way you don't risk losing cp from mutilate
As far as I know, you want all dots and snd up prio for energy. Then worry about hitting beefy Rupts.
yea the venomous wounds thing makes sense
Forcing like that leads to other problems timing wise that creates no gain
what slot for MA leggo? a while back i remember it being wrist but wanted to make sure
wrist if you pvp , ring if you pve
Yeah a lot of time the “logical” gain, doesn’t actually show a gain. Like with LBE timing on sub, the “logical” gain is to hold for dance/symbols, and then go, but that actually pulls a noticeable loss because you’re using sbs in a way that actually negatively affects the part outside of dance
Pretty much
Any time
so if i do have the 2nd mutilate crit to 4 cp
in my opener
i garrote then rupture at 5
sbs > shiv / vend
into vanish mut env mut
?
and just ignore the possible 1 cp loss right
ok that works for me
time to hit some dummies lol
it is kinda fun that the opener regularly changes based on cp
Still not a “loss” technically
Rupture ticks do equal damage regardless of CP
oh i meant if shiv crits with sbs that takes me to 3 and with vanish mut u can get 4+3 if everything crits sorry shoulda worded better xd
I feel dumb for never realizing this 😂
Oh, yeh
Yeah, without doing tooltip math it’s hard to tell for the average person tbh
Noob Sin Rogue Question: When using Blindside talent when do we Ambush > Mut?
^ blindside good cuz it makes the ambush free
otherwise ambush is pretty meh from my understanding
Thank you, I was wondering about that.
It does double damage of mut? but doesn't give the CP IIRC
double damage? no way
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.
Does anyone have some time to look at my logs and help me improve? I'm not sure where I'm messing up. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/JYz3TbK1m4qpg8Vk
I would but I’m on mobile and gonna pass out in like an hour
Just had tacos
And it be hittin different
Lol, no worries. I'll post then here some other time for feedback if I don't get any tonight.
Wait, Whispyr actually sleeps 
Contrary to popular belief :P
Hello there I was wondering what was the best leggo for Assassination , is icy vein recommendation viable ?

have u thrown it into one of those websites? idk if wowanalyzer is optimized for sin, but it can give u some basics that can help u analyze better
cheers
all of them are close
Wowanalyzer still dogshit to my knowledge
but doom and zoldy are best
it still tells u shit like bleed uptime
take it with a grain of salt, but its good for stuff like that
Wow analyzer doesn't support sin right now. I tried it right before posting here 😭
Ye
You need to know how to get the correct information from wowanalyzer to use it correctly for some classes and fights and if you know how you also know how to just look at the log directly so imo it doesn't really serve much of a purpose
bleed uptime, proper pooling for vendetta/shiv windows, snd not falling off
do you ideally just want 2 envenoms in a shiv window?
How big of a deal is pooling for shiv so you can use it as soon as it's off cd?
is it ideal to shiv near full cp so you can envenom right away then?
for vendetta

Yeah, I think shiv at max cp is okay
Gotta get 4 or it is time for the bench, O wait this ain't 8.3
Yes but it’s more ideal to slam on cd
ur not using troll active lol
or do you use 4 and just play with the 20 seconds of wiggle room
If you really want to min-max, you hold shiv for a max of 12 seconds to line up with vendetta
And otherwise
Fuck, I keep forgetting to bind that
Slam slam slam

gotcha ty
If it's your last cd you can hold vendetta instead ofc assuming you will get full duration
literally bind it to an ability with a 30 second cd and call it a day
or actually ur rogue, just bind it to vendetrta
why would you do that
Thinking about shiv as a maintenance debuff with a cooldown, instead of a burst cd, usually helps
sin has like 0 buttons
It’s the uptime that’s important more than anything
im talking about troll active. and why wouldn't you
you can easily have a keybind for all
Slam shiv even if you drop bleeds? Or get good to the point at which you never drop bleeds by shiving on cd?
thought u meant binding shiv to vend xd my bad lol
And thanks, I'll definitely fix using troll active
The latter, but yes, slam even if you drop
ideally refresh bleeds before u slam shiv
Ye
so you don't run into that problem
So is anyone good playing Necrolord? Would be interesting to see what build and what opener to use, I’ve been experimenting some myself

Haha any input is good
@balmy condor will you look at a 2min log or is it too late .-.
To begin with, does Bone Spike bleed work with Doomblade now? Don’t think it did before?
Yes, yes
Facts
@shy dust will you go over my 2 min sin log 
Elaborate Planning or Blindside as necrolord? I feel like I can use Bone Spike as a substitute for the Blindside procs which makes it feel more consistent. Don’t know if it’s numerically better though
Solution would be to sim yourself
Usually blindside in single target
But you don’t take it ever in aoe
Blindside sims +9 on ST for me, which doesn’t convince me that it’s better in practice. This is just from a simple talent compare on raidbots though, havn’t dove into my own custom sims
+9 with extra buttons sounds like a down grade to me haha
Indeed! And also a layer of rng
id recommend asking whispyr
im very lazy at reading logs
Blindside is execute tho
ok ty i'll bug him tomorrow 
True, I’m guessing the sim only hits 100% target?
nah the sims have execute counted in
we have the technology
Haha okay, neat
if have very good gloves, but 220 shoulders and my guild is stuck at 4/10 M is worth it to make shoulders legendary or still worse than gloves?
Shoulder and Gloves have same stat budget
so yeah if you won't get SLG shoulder anytime soon you can go for shoulder
ty
guys, can someone share a link to a nice plater profile optimized for dot classes?
just want to get an idea how a good one should look like
I thought I had a nice plater profile going until last week, when bolstering got plastered over the top of all my bleeds and shit. Was running blind half the time.
are sin dots no longer affected by snapshots? sry its been awhile since ive played it. just getting back into it
just noticed the snapshot numbers arent like my ferals on the WA's
Yep not a thing
What does ‘shiv’ mean by a concentrated dose of non-lethal poison?
It's toxic blade from bfa
And
The added bonus is that if you have numbing you can soothe enrage
the non-lethal part means either numbing or crippling
like he said numbing removes an enrage effectr
crippling applies a bigger slow
Okay thanks dudes!
Invokers delight
Does envenom hit for more than evis btw?
On rogue I use heaps lol but if you mean specially for sin, I already had MA from sub pvp and outlaw NW keys so I crafted doomblade because I can use MA for keys
So what’s the reasoning again for opening with Mut instead of Ambush? (When running Master Assassin)
!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.
vendetta buff work with trinkets like shriek wing?
read the tooltip
so no?
is trinket an ability or auto attack
neither
poggers you answered your own question
ty, was just double checking. friend said it did but i didn't think it did!
M+ Assass rogue, Zoldyk or Doomblade
Zoldyck
even on tyran weeks?
You could run doomblade for plaguefall SD and top on tyrannical but that's the only dungeons I would recommend it in
Zoldyck is good on tyrannical too
And it's 100% venthyr right
Necrolord is also viable
Just depends on if you want more AOE damage/cleave/cheap cp generation or a more single target damage/a mini bloodlust+ haste or mastery procs
Imagine doing keys this week
I've been looking for an alt to play on necrolords, not much is good for necro
This poxstorm isn't going to grind itself 
necro for outlaw i think is best too
They're close enough that there is no clear best
Just comes down to what you want to specialize in
If necro was where it is now at launch I would be necro right now
But it wasn't and i have no reason to regrind from fae
im level 30 kyrian so i gotta change to something
If I was you, I would just can that toon and start again if you really wanna be necro

Level 30 is nothing
renown 30
You can't be part of a covenant unless you're 60
Ok that makes more sense haha
lol
Threads of fate @50
Swapping covenants isn't that bad tbh
Just remembered
Oh fair enough
Lmao I have been necro venthyr and fae on my rogue
But I don't like that the bridge is burnt
?
Imagine fae was bis after a patch
Takes like 2 days to do the prove your worth quests if you do one the day before reset and the other reset day
i am going to go venthyr or necro 100% just cant decide which
Well you can try one out and if you don't like it swap instantly
On mythic Sun King, my group split us into different groups to pop cds on the cloak of flames.. Do we use vanish when shade spawns or wait till cloak happens?
ok
yo how does recuperator work with assa rogue and slice n dice
Otherwise you can use at the best time because that whole phase has a dps requirement also
alright thanks
It's just a flat heal every 2s while slice and dice is active
So Cut to the Chase doesn't interact directly with Recup, but it does keep your SnD going and therefore keeps the heals up.
On sin though snd is active all the time so would it just be permanently healing you or only for 36 seconds
permanently
while snd is up, recup heals you
the way recup works is that it creates a healing instance that heals you every 2s when the conduit is socketed. Recup heals you for 0 when snd isn't up, and for a % of your max hp when snd is up
that 36 seconds just tells you the tempo of the healing, 25% per 36 seconds, but it goes on as long as S&D is active
I thought so too
No i know how the healing part of it works just didnt know if there was a cd for it in arena or something cause healing 2% for an entire arena can be pretty good
@surreal leaf hello
Nah essentially is just a 24/7 heal
Assuming you keep the buff up
In beta it ticked for so much that we were pretty much unkillable and when you combine that with being able to global people and sbs dmg we were stupid
hello everyone, I'm a beginner wow player. Can someone help me try to understand why my parse is very low. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Z24j1VPFfAYQG8v7/#fight=23&type=damage-done
I am the rogue Psyborc
how good is PI for assa rogue ?
pretty good
Im no rogue expert but keep in mind you're 64th percentile for your ilvl, even if your overall parse isnt great @feral wasp
i am blessed with it now in raid lol
getting pi 
hunt hate me now
soulbinds:

if there is something wrong in the updated chart, pls let me know
but the change is basically to have venthyr on lashing^^
so I have to do the full scenario of the night bae to have the optimum ?
can't remember which is the first one you unlock there
alright so I don't need to do the full scenario and just go ape
thanks for the soulbind thingy
koryan is rly strong in m+ with first strike
!guide
So managed to get my doomblade memory from twisting layer 3 and I'm not even 150 ilvl yet
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
It may require more in depth simming but rn Sudden fractures 200 is simming equally to wps for me on patchwerk with necro/heirmir, maybe it will turn out to be better ...
and it wins by a slight amount on Dungeon Slice too
even to LP
interessting
Hey guys i'm training a bit the rotation in heroic with my rogue, could you please check what i can improve on this pull pls ? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Ypxj4DnAVtfvmMXB#fight=3&type=damage-done&source=19
i think i understand the core of the spec but if you see any details that can be improve let me know 🙏
Shouldn't Theotar be set with Wasteland Pro? Or is the main focus only on the "Best Pick" Binds?
Only thing I could really think of
is wasteland simming higher for him?
Been a week and a few upgrade pieces so maybe I need to sim again.
wasteland did not sim higher for me
put its possible that going double potency is better
wps + lashing
necro for life
yea double potency sims alot better even in 6 min sims
Is 18% haste enough to play with deeper as venthyr?
Hey guys new to Sin switching over from outlaw. Which guides are considered the best so that i can make sure im learning the right info from the start. Never played Sin before.
!guide
You can start with those
Sim it. Usually yes, but it might be tied to your crit % too.
it does sim a bit higher,just feels kinda slow while in boss fights.30% crit 18% haste atm
Thanks 🙂
p sure i saw a guy having ds simming higher with 13% haste
i'm not sure it's even tied to haste
DS is just really a good talent
even if it slows down the spec
i think DS is also auto pick if youre venthyr
i run around 20% haste and like, idk it doesn't feel that much slower compared to vigor
maybe the 6 point vanish envenoms are too much to pass
Same it feels weird to me too but I think it's much better than vigor when you have to do mechanics imo. Cuz vigor will make you energy cap faster during downtimes which is bad
also buff all of the finishers u press
Guys I've got a bunch of questions since yesterday I've raided with Deeper for the first time in ages as Sin
@worldly bridge good point
also this tbf, on sludge u can make sure u got low energy before the aoe and when u come back it'll be full ish without capping
10% faster energy regen but 40% bigger energy cap actually makes vigor "better" for downtime
but its not like that would actually affect your decision
Playing with Vigor I used to be able to fit 3 envenoms during a shiv, even better if I get blindside and crits
u can still do that with ds
Playing Ds it's taking forever to get to 5-6cp, do you still respect the Max-1 rule during Shiv/Vendetta/MA window ?
is the ravenholdt guide up to 9.0.5?
In other words is it better to cast 2 buffed envenoms for 4cp or only one 6cp envenom
!opener
my 6cp envenoms when critted do about 11k so for sure its better after you vanish
I can't. During pull even with PI I had to cast Vendetta super early cuz I had not enough energy
My DS opener was mut snd mut Vendetta here cuz energy starved, mut flag garrote shiv, mut mut pool 70 vanish envenom
i dont think the opener changes
And then trying to figure out if I should 4cp MA buff envenom or 6cp no MA envenom
especially if you bl on pull
Well I think it does cuz you will lack energy to make it smooth. No bl on pull tho, it was Xymox we save it for the min3 "nothing is happening" phase
even if you are "energy" starved you just chil and wait for energy in the opener for the normal opener
even if it may feel bad for you its a dmg loss to just press vendetta cus low energy
yeah thats what i do too
cause you have to flag vendetta
same time
if you vendetta earlier than flag youll lose some deeps and haste after it ends
I've read somewhere that Vendetta/Flag is a bit better cuz flag deals tons of dmgz now
Might be wrong
Yeah I forgot about the garrote rupture part before shiv/envenoms fkme
flag does huge damage
My explanation sucked lol
Aight I won't use Vendetta for energy starvation with DS then
this ones seems pretty good makes sense to use rupture after flag
Now fight-related questions
Currently at Xymox Mm. MC ghosts can fuck you up real bad early
You can loose your whole Vendetta window if you are unlucky with portals and these
Should I delay Vendetta after these ?
Yeh, they should line up pretty well honestly
Not sure about this. This is kinda related to DS too, I'm pretty sure I've got fked some pulls cuz ghosts
And Ds delaying burst by like 5-10sec
Also, do you use Vendetta on CD or do you delay Vendetta2 to line up with the lust?
vendetta falls of at like 27 with the normal opener with no lust
Cd
when does your guild lust?
3.05 or something after overlaps
Def cd then
i thought its better to vendetta before you lust to not cap on energy
yea kil timer is below 5 minutes usually
or like not use vendetta on bl
so you loose a vendetta if you delay
Aight
except if the bl is in the opener then i guess you do use it
Definitely not. Lust is a great extra deal of damage
Last question related to this fight, tied to Vendetta usages : what about prepot ?
You always want to match up lust if you can.
That's why on Sludge you base your cooldowns regarding when you lust
Do you pot pull with Vendetta or pot during bl even if no cds are up ?
doesnt really matter that much honestly
On pull and second time after 5minutes
if your guild is progressing and might get a 5:30 kill or something with half raid dead you might consider pot at pull to get a second one
My guild is calling wipe whenever 1 or 2 guys are dead they dumb af but that's an other story lol
is it not worth to flag during vendetta?
you mean compared to flag shortly before?
or compared to using stuff on cd so it doesnt line up?
using flag there is slighty more dps
since you have more haste during vendetta that way
and only loose a bit of dmg on the initial flag
also when you use flag in that opener you are at 0 energy usually and so you dont loose a global there
before the first envenom inside vendetta window
im gonna mutilate my penis
its not that big of a difference
did sub die?
ye
why is dredfire bis over skullker?
mainly the agi
guys should i trust simc and go for deeper stratagem or run vigor as guides says?
i feel like deeper stratagem is a bit slowly to use
Deeper is better when you’re venthyr, yes it is not lying to you. How something feels and the output it produces are not always identical
You can stack all the haste in the world and you’ll feel on top of the world. It doesn’t mean you’re actually doing more damage
Faster smaller hits or slower bigger hits, it’s a trade off
Is there any weakaura to track cleary doomblade effect?
experiment on the dummy, try 5 minute rotations with vigor and deeper stratagem and check results for yourself
Deeper strat is better on paper but I like not waiting 2 seconds between each ability and the other on the opener😂
But totally depends on the fight, if BL at pull then deep strat is definitely the way to go
You don't need to track Doomblade. It does nothing
I assume the difference would be kill speed to parse this?
and using shiv properly in opener
If you don't one phase this, parsing will get harder
Ye, can't parse on Shriek if you get an intermission

u should still be able to get a 98 or so with 1 intermission I'd think
So I usually go outlaw for keys but was wondering what kind of soulbind/conduit build people are using for keys as venthyr
As assa
I finally found good assa Venthyr m+ guide. https://youtu.be/44hmZbevnrw

9.0.5 is here and so is the new Assassination rogue with a vampire teeth. Today we look at how to make the new build work in mythic+ This video will show all stats, opener, bui...
careful, infex gets memed on a little because of some comments in the past
ok, but there is none m+ assa guide right now, no one answered my question about AOE rotation in M+ on this Discord so there are at least some suggestions 🙂
I mean it's the same spec it's been for a long time
old guides are still valid tbh
lol
but none will tell you when to pop Flagellations, which soulbinds, conduits, legendary, etc.. Conduits are boosting abilities, like CT conduits, changes playstyle. I'm afraid old guides will tell you very little.
also, tbh, your m+ rotation is still
1 Exit dungeon
2 Open spec tree
3 Press outlaw
4 Enter dungeon
LOL
Big true...started doin that in bfa
dont think AOE has changed since legion, FoKs while keeping up as many Ruptures a poss and if speced then keep up Tempest as well
you press flag when you have it
like there's a weird thing about current sin tbh, the various small iterations in orders make very little difference overall
just make sure you use your shit
seem assa can be rly good at least for some dungs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/25#sample=7&boss=12293&dataset=80&bracket=14&class=DPS
There is really no set point you wanna flag
Do you need to kill this pride?
Do you need to kill this one big mob?
that is such a random thing to link lol
There are literally 4 conduits 1 of which does anything relevant on aoe and 2 that are completely useless
And playing on aoe is playing on aoe
You wanna dot enemies around you
There is no magical supersecret way of doing m+
Also m+ is a lot of the times pure feelcraft on higher levels
there's this thing that you notice the more you spend time in these channels, generally speaking most of the higher end crew don't really seem to care that much about the nitty gritty stuff that a ton of other lower end crowd think is the be all end all of specs
as if these tiny variations in order of operations will completely break you, by comparison to "yeah you just didn't USE your shit"
most of the time people struggling with blue parses link logs and they legit just have big gaps in melee uptime
but they're wildly concerned aobut when to use flag
or if they should hold shadowblades
Yea like I can understand the question if there really are no assa m+ players
Its a fair one
that is true
but really
like the spec is the same now as it was in prepatch
lol
But as you cannot really simulate m+, its always going to be personal way of playing and feelcraftian
and the prepatch spec is the same as it was at the start of bfa lol
And I dont think youre going to suffer too much if you follow the vid you posted
infex is a good player
Just whenever you hear "best" or "this is the only way"
well then question is why this Discord exists if not to discuss details. Just do a pin message "Use your shit and you are good" 🙂
he gets memed on because of some comments
Then you should know that thats not true
but he's good
discord class channels don't exist to regurgitate easy to find info like rotation...if u asked something more specific u would get some nuanced answers back fitting the question
no that's a fair comment @slow merlin but I'd counter that with understanding the WHY to use a skill when you do is more important than WHEN
Tbh out of all the discos this one is one of the majorly more helpful
and that skill translates into understanding other skills without being told when
Teach a man to fish n so on
Like you don’t need wowhead or Icey it’s legit a one stop shop.
I’d also argue that they way this discord works, it more of immediate information vs regurgitated information. 9 times out of 10 after a change it’s here almost immediately vs any other source.
the only important thing that I saw off the bat when reading the new iteration of flag was instantly "oh so I wana use this at high cp, cool"
generally "whens" are all just about maximising your gcds
And I get people wanting a definite answer when to use flag
But reality is
Sometimes you need to use it to kill pride or your group wipes
Sometimes you wanna save it for after pride dies to truck the boss
Sometimes you just use it to prio down an add in the middle of a pack
sometimes I feel like a better thing to tell people isn't when to use it, it's what to NOT do
I've already seen a bunch of people hit flag and then have to, or choose to immediately switch target
they lose all this uptime running around
Is there any way to sim on raid bots with PI
Yeah thats not too optimal
then the flag runs out and they have like 2 stacks
at some point I'm going to have to go do a sub m+ run just to see how many stacks I can bust a nut with
ol felt real good
especially if you get to snipe an enemy that dies just before flag ends

yeah I was a little worried about switching off of necro and onto venth
coz I play OL a lot
but it's totally fkn fine
I love flag from gameplay standpoint way more than the others
although, I DO enjoy the playstyle of throwing my bone around
Them simply removing 2nd cast made this spell so much better to use

I've been considering setting up a weakaura with that audio "You must whip it" for when I activate flag.
shuriken bomb with flag feels good, but sub in general just feels bad. Maybe next xpac they'll make it playable again. I look forward to those first few months of the xpac 🙂
That's what happened with Sub early SL too
Pvp was busted and I've heard pve sims in beta was insane cuz Akaari. Then smthng happened and sub vanished
Akaari got nerfed super hard (which it did need, to be fair), other specs got buffed and it got left where it is.
Took 10 runs and 3 failed runs!
grats! Now you'll get a 226 one from your vault!
The dream
I'd still take it lol
upgrade is an upgrade!
Feels like vault didnt give me anything gud for so fucking long
226 phial would still be one of the higher upgrades for me, even from 220
Lucky you man, I'm at like 25 runs and no trinket yet
I upgraded mine from 203, dumping all that valor was pretty 
I vendored my phial and then they announced upgrades so I used item restoration only to find out it’s not upgradeable
Cast CT on cd or spam it at certain amount of mobs?
Keep the CT dot up
If more then eight targets it might be better to CT twice in a row with moving to different parts of the group maybe? Dunno how to sim that but might hit more than just 8 with the dot then
Ct replace envenom. Except on shiv window
so which is it, got 2 diff answears xd
At a certain point if all you care is aoe you discard envenom
Tho I doubt its happening too much
I was under the understanding that you should rupture rather than envenom
So I would CT > ruptures until next CT
And this is the line the roborogue uses
# Crimson Tempest on multiple targets at 4+ CP when running out in 2s (up to 4 targets) or 3s (5+ targets)
If only 4 or so targets then I might get an envenom off before next ct and everyone has rupture already
But gonna sim it
Like if youre doing m+
It takes plenty globals to just keep stuff dotted and CT inbetween
cause i used to pvp now im gonna do raid
Its very unlikely youll ever get to pure CT spam on mass aoe
this is the image
try and find ur best gear with Top Gear option
oh okay
stat weight is really... unreliable, since it will change with every piece of gear/enchant/gem you use so it will only give you some vague idea of what your bis stats are right at this second. But for actually making choices then stat weight is kind of not useful. Mostly used to prove a point I find 😛
Yea I agree
I can confirm that the raidbots bot did just keep CT dot up and used ruptures in between. It seems to use envenom during shiv only when all targets are ruptured, saw it sometimes just send shiv and not do any envenoms
Youre very much gcd limited unless you just wanna ct spam for some odd aoe implosion reasons
hey guys is assassination better then outlaw in castle nathria now ?
On pure ST it wins yes. Even on 2 target cleave.
Is assa in tbc a thing?^^
@compact pumice do i have to switch to venthyr for it or can i keep kyrian ?
There is no real need to be venthyr for assassination. For Nathria Venthyr is bis for all specs except some fights where necro is better for Outlaw.
damn now i have to wait an entire week to switch over
wait what ?, i can't switch in 1 week right
its 1 quest "prove your worth" now & then another after weekly reset or am i wrong
if you swap back to the same cov as you have been before
if it's your first time joining the covenant you're up an running in no time
Wait until you have 15-16 renown to do the campaign
And ur fine
Only going back to a covenant youve left before requires 2 resets yea
am i crafting doomblade legendary for assa ?
for raid ye
thanks for the help guys
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
is quantum device simming low?
if its proccing haste during lust it loses most of its value
you need to have more crit than haste
!guide
I find this command to be misleading
Stat weights are always misleading sure, but I find that that order is only valid with very poor gear. With closer to bis gear sims would say haste => crit or even crit => haste for some
just sim urself
i was going to say, at good gear, you should just be simming yourself, no?
Word. We never talk about how much of a dps increase Shadowstep/Sprint/Cloak is. I feel that the better I get at the fundamentals of the rogue class and assassination spec respectively, the more damage I do and less damage I take. Sometimes the fight setup doesn't allow for two cool downs to match up, or I screw up the Shiv window but it doesn't mean that much in the long run when you do the basic stuff right.
Progress raids are especially nothing like simulations (and I think this is general knowledge) - so a different talent setup may give you a dps increase, but they would be a dps loss for someone else (or with a guild that knows the fight).
I went off on a tangent here, but I just wanted to acknowledge your comment.
i believe for now aim for the highest "agility" is better
one you get higher most of your items then start seeking for secondary stats. Note "Haste" is really mandatory for Assassin spec
this, so much this, for pretty much every class too, tbh, guildies always send me their logs asking what's going wrong, they're doing their rotation perfectly, etc
and it's 90% of the time just bad uptime, breaking casts, being a bit too eager with mechanics, etc
Just play well on average and you will do your best on that pull where all the mechanics just avoid you and you can be 100% effective. 🙂
Killing heroic SLG or Sires will give you a chance at any 220 loot in the vault or do you have to kill them both?
If you kill only SLG you have the option of SLG’s 220 options. If you kill both, you get both.
As possible options s
oh okay thank you very much
I've checked Herodamage and it says for m+ as venth we should run Nadija with Exacting prep
BUT is this accounting you prepot every m+ boss / use +20 agi food ?
i got dreadfire vessel in my vault last week and only did 9/10 hc
In that case i think it would be better to just go for 2nd best soulbind which is theotar. Or even 3rd cuz i suck at playin with the umbrella proc
when you kill any boss once you unluck the possibility of getting loot from it in vault
it doesnt have to be the same week
^
Does that go for mythic progression? Some people have told me that all 226 bosses can drop in vault even if you haven’t killed em. I kinda doubt it for some reason though.
as far as i know, yes
exacting prep doesn't include potions, iirc
yeh i realized that when doublechecking it. But if its using 20agi food to be better than double potency then it sucks
From my understanding the first 8 bosses were fair game no matter prog. The only loot locked was SLG and sire.
just play tea party.......
you can change the food used for your sims, iirc
Ive only ever gotten loot from bosses ive killed on mythic
