Yeh

shy dust
#

People are decked out in gear on average at this point

hexed root
#

do we go duelist or familiar predict? I was seeing familiar bu tlooking at simcraft it says duelist

fallow otter
#

We 41% with one dps dead for ages

shy dust
#

Duelist for ST

fallow otter
#

So we'll be holding soon

shy dust
#

P3 is fun

#

Annoying as sin though

fallow otter
#

Yeah

shy dust
#

Having only one charge of step is painful

fallow otter
#

I get a bop so I'm gucci

hexed root
#

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?

drifting cloud
#

boping a rogue seems questionable

fallow otter
#

Im a monk

#

Lol

#

Shhh

shy dust
#

We had a spare bop and I got it this week

#

So free

#

Soaked ravage like a moron though and proceed CD

shy dust
slender urchin
#

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

hexed root
#

@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

drifting cloud
#

no you go double potency

shy dust
#

Just swap to 2nd potency

drifting cloud
#

and get summoned back

hexed root
#

yea, new to venth. didn't realize how "Awful" the other soulbinds are in comparison

slender urchin
#

I love the NF binds. They each have their own niche.

hexed root
#

^

#

That's what I did for my outlaw tbh when I needed to sawp

slender urchin
#

It really should’ve been the template

#

I love everything about venthyr, but the soulbinds leave something to be desired

drifting cloud
#

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

indigo mulch
#

ye

#

You need to PI your mages so they get combust ready D;

#

Well you don't need it but it helps

drifting cloud
#

instead your priest is doing lock 1st pillar and 4th so you just straight up lose a cast

shy dust
#

From speaking with mages in my guild

#

It’s not needed anymore

#

But it helps

indigo mulch
#

I'm pretty sure you can only get there with high haste and berserking.

shy dust
#

But also fire is one of the few specs who cooldowns on pull

#

And nah

#

Guild is alliance and he could get it

drifting cloud
#

few? 😛

#

every 2min class and mage cd on pull

shy dust
#

O

drifting cloud
#

iits not that few

shy dust
#

I’m dumb

#

Ignore that statement

vast forum
#

DK uses CDs on pull too

indigo mulch
#

o0

#

They do?

drifting cloud
#

wait is it only boomie and lock that dont then

vast forum
#

if you army pull, you get it for lust + 4th pillar

indigo mulch
#

I'm pretty sure you save army for no?

#

Oh

#

Wait really? I thought army was like 5~6min cd

vast forum
#

abom limb on pull, 2nd pillar, 4th pillar

drifting cloud
#

ah yeah dks forgot those exist

#

army is like 4:30~

vast forum
#

army is ~4

drifting cloud
#

yeah closer to 4 I guess

vast forum
#

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

indigo mulch
#

We are talking sludgeboi right? I'm pretty sure you only get 1 army on that fight. 😮

gloomy knoll
#

@balmy condor is there any bonespike optimization for st or do you just use them on cd for sin?

indigo mulch
#

I mean unless they give you every PI in the world.

vast forum
#

there's no way you only get 1 army on sludge

drifting cloud
#

you easily get 2 armies on sludge lol

vast forum
#

it's a 5 min fight

indigo mulch
#

0o

#

Why do i keep seeing DK's only using 1 army there then D:

#

wtf

vast forum
#

because they use 1 pre-pull probably

drifting cloud
#

maybe they prepul

vast forum
#

like 1 sec pre-pull

#

but every DK does that on pretty much every boss

indigo mulch
#

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

vast forum
#

that's always a pre-pull army tho

drifting cloud
#

again they use it 1s prepull so its not showing on logs

#

as a cast

indigo mulch
#

Fair

vast forum
#

there's no need for PIs to get an army back in 5 min

indigo mulch
#

Oh well, you learn something new everyday.

drifting cloud
#

just check the dmg graph

ionic kelp
#

sludge finally dead boys

#

and of course last pillar soak is out of melee range

stable moss
#

do we want to stack more mastery in m+

balmy condor
#

more than in single target

#

which is like

#

maybe a little

#

but not enough to warrant searching for it

indigo mulch
#

But the scottish guy said mastery is great!

stoic needle
#

@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?

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

haste loses value when you're just overcapping a billion energy

brittle venture
#

if i wanna play sin for pvp/ST in raid & outlaw for cleave/m+ what would the best cov overall be?

limpid blaze
#

would all hell break loose if i recommended people in m+ assa:

  1. haste >= crit
    2 vers >= mastery

??

balmy condor
#

no

stoic needle
#

if you want to do the most single target damage: venthyr, if you want to do the most aoe damage: necrolord

balmy condor
#

recommending crit over haste is also fine honestly

limpid blaze
#

yeah i was thinking that

stoic needle
#

only you can decide which is more important to you @brittle venture

balmy condor
#

as long as it's like crit/haste > vers/mastery

#

honestly fine

limpid blaze
#

of a side note to say it scales hard with number of targets

#

yeah

#

or**

stoic needle
#

i think giving context is so nice

limpid blaze
#

i shall continue doing that then

stoic needle
#

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

limpid blaze
#

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

stoic needle
#

you're doing god's work

limpid blaze
#

makes you a much better player if you actually understand the intricacies of the class

south umbra
#

is there a cap on how much haste flagellation will give?

balmy condor
#

30

low girder
#

30

stoic needle
#

30%

limpid blaze
#

30% i think

low girder
#

lol

south umbra
#

ty lol

stoic needle
#

enjoy ~12 second bloodlust

low girder
#

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

balmy condor
#

I haven't noticed it

stoic needle
#

i haven't paid attention enough to notice it either

low girder
#

i noticed it one time on SLG this week and i meant to go back to that pull

stoic needle
#

i dont pay attention to flag stacks at all tbh i just press the button and blast

low girder
#

and now i forget which one

#

lol

south umbra
#

should we be reliably hitting it? in LFR for renown now and getting like 20-25 usually

stoic needle
#

20-25 is pretty good

balmy condor
#

yeah that's normal

low girder
#

in raid no you probably won't ever hit it

stoic needle
#

you dont get higher without lust or a haste on use trinket

#

or godlike crit rng

low girder
#

maybe if you are nice and get a PI

#

lol

south umbra
#

schweet

stoic needle
#

i kinda wish i had a higher ilvl anima battery just for syncing with flag

limpid blaze
#

i think i'm sold on vigor > mfd in dungs

#

feels like it scales smoothly

#

also this weeks affixes are actually toxic for assa

balmy condor
#

the s word

stoic needle
#

yeah im legit playing law in keys

#

cuz i cant get restealths

limpid blaze
#

yup

stoic needle
#

but hoo boy law with a 207 mh is fucking trash

low girder
#

affixes are toxic for melee in general basically

#

all my homies hate spiteful

limpid blaze
#

at least law has long arms

void pecan
#

this week especialy

#

is aids

#

for restealth

limpid blaze
#

but spite stops restealths

#

and grev too

stoic needle
#

they nerfed the spiteful melee range thank god

limpid blaze
#

unless you play cloaked in shadow but i ran out of conduit energy

low girder
#

a lot of outlaws play MA so fucks them too

#

luckily i do not

stoic needle
#

celerity week Sadge

low girder
#

celerity always

#

then i only lose a cto

stoic needle
#

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

low girder
#

maybe someday

limpid blaze
#

yea

low girder
#

doomblade to 235 in 2 weeks

#

225 atm

#

then MA is next

stoic needle
#

i have about 6k ash just sitting here

low girder
#

yeah well i made a finality

stoic needle
#

probably gonna max MA and then ??

low girder
#

i believed

#

like a dumbass

stoic needle
limpid blaze
#

dashing scoundrel master poisoner gachihyper

stoic needle
limpid blaze
low girder
stoic needle
#

i should do some 2 legendary sims sometime

#

i'm gonna be sad if it's just doomblade + dashing

limpid blaze
#

dashing scoundrel, master poisoner, mastery stacking, sleeper op Kapp

stoic needle
#

now you're speaking my language monkascheme

balmy condor
#

dashing + pb is actually usable in keys

low girder
#

i mean as we discussed

#

basically anything is useable in keys lmao

vast forum
#

@balmy condor do you know if there's a way to sim just an execute phase?

balmy condor
#

yeh

stoic needle
#

how much worse is it than CT zold

balmy condor
vast forum
#

does it assume you're out of stealth then? 😄

limpid blaze
#

NGL if you can keep on top of CT it fucking slaps

stoic needle
#

i've had some glorious CT uptime before

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

is vendetta too weak of a CD to make duskwalkers bis as our 2nd legendary?

vast forum
#

2nd legendary kekw

limpid blaze
#

I had a 71% Elaborate planning uptime in a DoS17 with spiteful downtime

balmy condor
#

no, the problem with duskwalkers is that it lowers vend to 70 sec cd

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

which is dogshit

stoic needle
#

how is it dogshit hmm

low girder
#

if that happens you might be able to make something happen combining it with dashing

vast forum
#

if it was 60, it would line up with a lot of stuff

low girder
#

outside of that no

limpid blaze
#

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

vast forum
#

but i can see 70 being fine tbh

stoic needle
#

isn't it just more casts on 5 min+ fights

#

how is that not good

vast forum
#

i mean, it's a dps increase blobshrug

#

just a smaller increase than other legendaries

subtle tundra
#

well vendetta doesnt do that much if you think about it

#

it aint no combust

stoic needle
#

30% extra damage is on the better side of cds isnt it

low girder
#

very few things are combust kekw

#

it's up there

#

at least on ST

stoic needle
#

yeah its trash in aoe

low girder
#

but desyncing from vanish just makes it weird

#

if it's not an even multiple

#

compared to the other leggos

stoic needle
#

hmm that's true

#

tbh i want doomblade + MA

vast forum
#

tbf in a 5 min fight, you could just delay the 2 later vanishes by ~20 sec each

#

if you have 70 sec vendettas

stoic needle
#

2 guaranteed +15% damage envenom crits

vast forum
#

but that's on exactly 5 min fights 😄

low girder
#

duskwalker's + dashing might be pretty decent, whether it would outsim other combos idk

#

you'd probably get to 60s that way

stoic needle
#

throw a little NS in there

low girder
#

but i still personally don't think double leggos are happening

#

stares at mage

stoic needle
#

double legendaries for every class except mage happy

vast forum
#

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 😄

low girder
#

huh

#

haven't thought about that

stoic needle
lament mica
#

that limits shit too much

vast forum
#

but that for sure won't happen

lament mica
#

for no real reason

low girder
#

so what would sin get

stoic needle
#

dashing zoldyck

low girder
#

TTB zoldyck kekW

vast forum
#

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

stoic needle
#

deathly zoldyck pepehmm

lament mica
#

ya but I'd rather they just balance accordingly than add a system like that

low girder
#

doomblade/bloodfang

vast forum
#

there is no "balance accordingly" with systems upon systems

stoic needle
low girder
#

wait this gives outlaw MA + celerity

vast forum
#

this game will never be properly balanced as long as they keep their borrowed power philosophy

low girder
#

i'm out

lament mica
#

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

stoic needle
#

maybe this is why they gave the legendaries specific slots amonkaHmm

vast forum
#

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

low girder
#

^

#

my MA is on wrists lol

vast forum
#

same

#

but it's better for pvp 😄

stoic needle
#

what, you don't want MA/arbiter? omegalul

low girder
#

yeah that was the thought

#

and no lol

stoic needle
#

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

vast forum
#

i think they'll take the lazy approach

#

and just keep them same

stoic needle
#

thats def the lazy approach

vast forum
#

and maybe let us use 2 in 9.2

stoic needle
#

was 2 legendaries universally loved back in legion?

vast forum
#

yes

#

but it was in the game from the start

stoic needle
#

was it?

vast forum
#

yes, but you needed to unlock it or smt

stoic needle
#

ah

vast forum
#

maybe i'm wrong tho, maybe it was 7.1

low girder
#

nah you're right

#

was the end of the tree

#

took about a month

vast forum
#

oh ye

#

the class hall tree

low girder
#

yep

stoic needle
#

well, the fact that everyone loved it means that it's definitely likely that it comes back

vast forum
#

i was thinking what it was connected to

low girder
#

which is why i kinda think it won't happen here

vast forum
#

thing is, current leggos for some classes are bonkers

stoic needle
#

i have some faith that we won't go the whole exp with 12% BOAT

vast forum
#

the fact that rogue's best leggo from legion (MA) is now 1 of the worst says enough

low girder
#

i think if they do that we might end up with like 1 more legendary at 50% power

#

or something

stoic needle
#

unless blizzard has completely lost it

low girder
#

and maybe they'll nerf some shit

stoic needle
#

yeah thats one of the things i was thinking as well

#

reduced power but extra effect

low girder
#

but tbh think it's more likely we get nothing

vast forum
#

feels clunky af

#

not something blizzard likes to do

low girder
#

yeah, it does

stoic needle
#

?

#

azerite wasn't clunky?

#

covenants arent clunky?

vast forum
#

covenants aren't clunky, they're just shit

stoic needle
#

clunky is blizzard's MO lmao

vast forum
#

but they're straightforward

#

you join a covenant and farm renown

#

it's not a "1 full lego, 1 half lego" type of deal

misty holly
vast forum
#

how do you convey to a casual player that they get 1 normal 1 weak lego?

stoic needle
#

through some jailer tie in

vast forum
#

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

low girder
#

instead we had some insane proc

misty holly
#

Imagine the engagement metrics as people grind torghast every week for ash

low girder
#

ended up being like 15k mainstat or some shit

vast forum
#

that was just on the wep tho

stoic needle
#

i really feel like some of the popular azerite traits from BFA are going to come back

low girder
#

yeah but that was their "end of xpac" thing

vast forum
#

and it wasn't prepatch

stoic needle
#

somehow

vast forum
#

it was 7.3.2

stoic needle
#

like as tier set bonuses or new conduits or something

vast forum
#

in prepatch, we had weps completely disabled

low girder
#

yeah that was an experience

vast forum
#

the good old concordance of legionfall

low girder
#

and not a good one

stoic needle
#

yeah those weapons you spent the whole expansion farming to power up?

#

BYE

#

get fucked, idiots

gloomy knoll
#

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

low girder
#

wouldn't you be at 2 CP after the 2nd mut

#

'cause you hit snd

subtle tundra
#

it doesnt account for bugs

low girder
#

unless it crits obv

#

which it might have idk

#

maybe if MA was consistent i would know kekW

subtle tundra
#

also its a "sample" not an opener

hard pivot
#

We finally killed sludge tonight yeeehawww, we were stuck on it for literally a month lmao

subtle tundra
#

you have depression ahead, my friend

hard pivot
#

My guild makes no fucking sense, so I wouldn't be surprised if we dunk on SLG in like 100-125 pulls

gloomy knoll
#

yea but going off samples because i keep getting ignored

subtle tundra
#

i cant help with necrolord opener im venthyr sorry

#

part of the cool gang

gloomy knoll
#

but if the apl does that consistently

#

wouldn't it be an improvement to swap the sbs in earlier

balmy condor
#

No

#

But if you got 4cp obviously you would garrote into rupture

#

And then continue

#

And the apl does that

gloomy knoll
#

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?

balmy condor
#

Garrote earlier

#

There’s actually no downside to a 5cp rup except inefficient energy

gloomy knoll
#

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

torn atlas
#

As far as I know, you want all dots and snd up prio for energy. Then worry about hitting beefy Rupts.

gloomy knoll
#

yea the venomous wounds thing makes sense

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

oh really? interesting peepostudy

#

so just use it w/e u want then?

bleak glacier
#

what slot for MA leggo? a while back i remember it being wrist but wanted to make sure

stoic needle
#

wrist if you pvp , ring if you pve

balmy condor
# gloomy knoll oh really? interesting <:peepostudy:585733927562641408>

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

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

interesting

#

ty

#

🙂

balmy condor
#

Any time

gloomy knoll
#

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

#

?

balmy condor
#

Yup

#

Sounds good to me

gloomy knoll
#

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

balmy condor
#

Rupture ticks do equal damage regardless of CP

gloomy knoll
#

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

why does raid not drop wps

Noob Sin Rogue Question: When using Blindside talent when do we Ambush > Mut?

void pecan
#

Ambush on blindside procs

#

mut out of stealth

gloomy knoll
#

^ blindside good cuz it makes the ambush free

#

otherwise ambush is pretty meh from my understanding

rose oak
#

Thank you, I was wondering about that.

void pecan
#

It does double damage of mut? but doesn't give the CP IIRC

lament mica
#

double damage? no way

void pecan
#

The lord king whispyr can answer

#

better

balmy condor
#

Also has double poison damage

#

We have a bot command I wrote

#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

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.

Hello there I was wondering what was the best leggo for Assassination , is icy vein recommendation viable ?

void pecan
lament mica
#

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

boreal cliff
#

cheers

void pecan
#

all of them are close

balmy condor
#

Wowanalyzer still dogshit to my knowledge

void pecan
#

but doom and zoldy are best

lament mica
#

it still tells u shit like bleed uptime

#

take it with a grain of salt, but its good for stuff like that

weak horizon
#

Wow analyzer doesn't support sin right now. I tried it right before posting here 😭

balmy condor
#

Ye

fallow otter
#

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

void pecan
#

bleed uptime, proper pooling for vendetta/shiv windows, snd not falling off

gloomy knoll
#

do you ideally just want 2 envenoms in a shiv window?

weak horizon
#

How big of a deal is pooling for shiv so you can use it as soon as it's off cd?

void pecan
#

2-3 generally

#

and only hold shiv for.. 12? seconds

gloomy knoll
#

is it ideal to shiv near full cp so you can envenom right away then?

void pecan
#

for vendetta

stoic needle
weak horizon
#

Yeah, I think shiv at max cp is okay

fallow otter
#

Gotta get 4 or it is time for the bench, O wait this ain't 8.3

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

do you delay vendetta

#

by 5 seconds

#

and use 5 shivs in between

lament mica
#

ur not using troll active lol

gloomy knoll
#

or do you use 4 and just play with the 20 seconds of wiggle room

balmy condor
#

If you really want to min-max, you hold shiv for a max of 12 seconds to line up with vendetta

#

And otherwise

weak horizon

gotcha ty

#

If it's your last cd you can hold vendetta instead ofc assuming you will get full duration

lament mica
#

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

gloomy knoll
#

why would you do that

balmy condor
#

Thinking about shiv as a maintenance debuff with a cooldown, instead of a burst cd, usually helps

gloomy knoll
#

sin has like 0 buttons

balmy condor
#

It’s the uptime that’s important more than anything

lament mica
#

im talking about troll active. and why wouldn't you

gloomy knoll
#

you can easily have a keybind for all

weak horizon
#

Slam shiv even if you drop bleeds? Or get good to the point at which you never drop bleeds by shiving on cd?

gloomy knoll
#

thought u meant binding shiv to vend xd my bad lol

weak horizon
#

And thanks, I'll definitely fix using troll active

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

ideally refresh bleeds before u slam shiv

balmy condor
#

Ye

gloomy knoll
#

so you don't run into that problem

young hamlet
#

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

gloomy knoll

@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?

#

@shy dust will you go over my 2 min sin log feelsloveman

young hamlet
#

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

balmy condor
#

Solution would be to sim yourself

#

Usually blindside in single target

#

But you don’t take it ever in aoe

young hamlet
#

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

torn atlas
#

+9 with extra buttons sounds like a down grade to me haha

young hamlet
#

Indeed! And also a layer of rng

shy dust
#

im very lazy at reading logs

tribal marlin
#

Blindside is execute tho

gloomy knoll
#

ok ty i'll bug him tomorrow kekw

young hamlet
#

True, I’m guessing the sim only hits 100% target?

tribal marlin
#

nah the sims have execute counted in

lament mica
#

we have the technology

young hamlet
#

Haha okay, neat

wary pawn
#

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?

tribal marlin
#

Shoulder and Gloves have same stat budget

#

so yeah if you won't get SLG shoulder anytime soon you can go for shoulder

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

torn atlas
#

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

fallow otter
#

Yep not a thing

proper belfry
#

What does ‘shiv’ mean by a concentrated dose of non-lethal poison?

fallow otter
#

And

#

The added bonus is that if you have numbing you can soothe enrage

low girder
#

the non-lethal part means either numbing or crippling

#

like he said numbing removes an enrage effectr

#

crippling applies a bigger slow

sup my assassin boys

#

what legendaries are you all using?

proper belfry
#

Okay thanks dudes!

fallow otter
proper belfry
#

Does envenom hit for more than evis btw?

fallow otter
#

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

young hamlet
#

So what’s the reasoning again for opening with Mut instead of Ambush? (When running Master Assassin)

vocal karma
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

M+ Assass rogue, Zoldyk or Doomblade

stoic needle
#

Zoldyck

dusk basalt
#

even on tyran weeks?

stoic needle
#

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

dusk basalt
#

And it's 100% venthyr right

stoic needle
#

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

fallow otter
#

Imagine doing keys this week

dusk basalt
#

I've been looking for an alt to play on necrolords, not much is good for necro

stoic needle
#

This poxstorm isn't going to grind itself verysadge

dusk basalt
#

necro for outlaw i think is best too

stoic needle
#

They're close enough that there is no clear best

#

Just comes down to what you want to specialize in

fallow otter
#

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

dusk basalt
#

im level 30 kyrian so i gotta change to something

fallow otter
#

If I was you, I would just can that toon and start again if you really wanna be necro

stoic needle
fallow otter
#

Level 30 is nothing

fallow otter

#

Oh fair enough

fallow otter
#

Yeh I've swapped

#

To kyrian from fae

#

On monk

stoic needle
#

Lmao I have been necro venthyr and fae on my rogue

fallow otter
#

But I don't like that the bridge is burnt

stoic needle
#

?

fallow otter
#

Imagine fae was bis after a patch

stoic needle
#

I probably wouldn't swap back

#

Venthyr owns

fallow otter
#

I don't want to do all that bs

#

The swap back bs gives me nightmares

stoic needle
#

Takes like 2 days to do the prove your worth quests if you do one the day before reset and the other reset day

dusk basalt
#

i am going to go venthyr or necro 100% just cant decide which

stoic needle
#

Well you can try one out and if you don't like it swap instantly

pure moth
#

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?

fallow otter
#

Use vanish for shield if you're assigned on one

#

It takes a bit of burst

pure moth
#

ok

ionic cave
#

yo how does recuperator work with assa rogue and slice n dice

fallow otter
#

Otherwise you can use at the best time because that whole phase has a dps requirement also

pure moth
#

alright thanks

stoic needle
torn atlas
#

So Cut to the Chase doesn't interact directly with Recup, but it does keep your SnD going and therefore keeps the heals up.

fallow otter
#

Yes

#

That's one way to look at it

ionic cave
iron orchid
#

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

lament dove
#

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

fallow otter
#

I thought it was a simple concept

#

But maybe not

iron orchid
ionic cave
#

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

strange python
#

@surreal leaf hello

fallow otter
#

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

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.

iron orchid
#

!guide

worldly bridge
verbal knot
#

it does sim a bit higher,just feels kinda slow while in boss fights.30% crit 18% haste atm

arctic axle
frail fossil
#

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

slender berry
#

i think DS is also auto pick if youre venthyr

frail fossil
#

i run around 20% haste and like, idk it doesn't feel that much slower compared to vigor

verbal knot
#

maybe the 6 point vanish envenoms are too much to pass

worldly bridge
frail fossil
#

also buff all of the finishers u press

worldly bridge
#

Guys I've got a bunch of questions since yesterday I've raided with Deeper for the first time in ages as Sin

verbal knot
#

@worldly bridge good point

frail fossil
slender berry
#

but its not like that would actually affect your decision

worldly bridge
#

Playing with Vigor I used to be able to fit 3 envenoms during a shiv, even better if I get blindside and crits

frail fossil
#

u can still do that with ds

worldly bridge
#

Playing Ds it's taking forever to get to 5-6cp, do you still respect the Max-1 rule during Shiv/Vendetta/MA window ?

bronze verge
#

is the ravenholdt guide up to 9.0.5?

verbal knot
#

i guess you can fit 3 envenoms during shiv if you get lucky crits

#

or on vendetta

worldly bridge
#

In other words is it better to cast 2 buffed envenoms for 4cp or only one 6cp envenom

odd python
#

!opener

verbal knot
#

my 6cp envenoms when critted do about 11k so for sure its better after you vanish

worldly bridge
#

My DS opener was mut snd mut Vendetta here cuz energy starved, mut flag garrote shiv, mut mut pool 70 vanish envenom

verbal knot
#

i dont think the opener changes

worldly bridge
#

And then trying to figure out if I should 4cp MA buff envenom or 6cp no MA envenom

verbal knot
#

especially if you bl on pull

worldly bridge
#

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

slender berry
#

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

verbal knot
#

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

worldly bridge
#

I've read somewhere that Vendetta/Flag is a bit better cuz flag deals tons of dmgz now

#

Might be wrong

verbal knot
#

i mut snd mut garrote rupute get about 4 cps shiv vanish envenom etc etc

#

yeah

worldly bridge
#

Yeah I forgot about the garrote rupture part before shiv/envenoms fkme

verbal knot
#

flag does huge damage

worldly bridge
#

My explanation sucked lol

slender berry
#

that opener is correct just use that one

worldly bridge
#

Aight I won't use Vendetta for energy starvation with DS then

verbal knot
#

this ones seems pretty good makes sense to use rupture after flag

worldly bridge
#

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

slender berry
#

the ghosts come after your burst window

#

only portal can fuck you up

worldly bridge
#

Should I delay Vendetta after these ?

slender berry
#

nah

#

if you get the portal , unlucky move on

limber lion
#

Yeh, they should line up pretty well honestly

worldly bridge
#

And Ds delaying burst by like 5-10sec

slender berry
#

first ghosts are at 0:32

#

your cds are gone until then

worldly bridge
#

Also, do you use Vendetta on CD or do you delay Vendetta2 to line up with the lust?

slender berry
#

vendetta falls of at like 27 with the normal opener with no lust

slender berry
#

when does your guild lust?

worldly bridge
#

3.05 or something after overlaps

limber lion
#

Def cd then

verbal knot
#

i thought its better to vendetta before you lust to not cap on energy

slender berry
#

yea kil timer is below 5 minutes usually

verbal knot
#

or like not use vendetta on bl

slender berry
#

so you loose a vendetta if you delay

worldly bridge
#

Aight

verbal knot
#

except if the bl is in the opener then i guess you do use it

limber lion
worldly bridge
#

Last question related to this fight, tied to Vendetta usages : what about prepot ?

limber lion
#

You always want to match up lust if you can.

verbal knot
#

@limber lion so you vendetta even if you are lusting?

#

aight

limber lion
#

That's why on Sludge you base your cooldowns regarding when you lust

worldly bridge
#

Do you pot pull with Vendetta or pot during bl even if no cds are up ?

slender berry
#

doesnt really matter that much honestly

limber lion
slender berry
#

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

worldly bridge
#

My guild is calling wipe whenever 1 or 2 guys are dead they dumb af but that's an other story lol

hexed dock
#

is it not worth to flag during vendetta?

slender berry
#

you mean compared to flag shortly before?

#

or compared to using stuff on cd so it doesnt line up?

hexed dock
#

yes

#

compared to flag shortly before

slender berry
#

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

hexed dock
#

ok makes sense

#

i saw some logs doing flag after rupture and vendetta

slender berry
#

also when you use flag in that opener you are at 0 energy usually and so you dont loose a global there

hexed dock
#

before the first envenom inside vendetta window

fervent pasture
#

im gonna mutilate my penis

slender berry

mainly the agi

agile geode
#

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

slender berry
#

this is where you learn to not always trust your feeling

#

use DS

arctic walrus
#

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

agile geode
#

u mean not identical to sims?

#

im venthyr btw

arctic walrus
#

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

agile geode
#

i'll try to play with deeper

#

thanks

drowsy zodiac
#

Is there any weakaura to track cleary doomblade effect?

foggy flint
#

experiment on the dummy, try 5 minute rotations with vigor and deeper stratagem and check results for yourself

violet rain
#

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

limber lion
final star
#

I assume the difference would be kill speed to parse this?

#

and using shiv properly in opener

Ye, can't parse on Shriek if you get an intermission

#

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 🙂

strange python
#

I mean it's the same spec it's been for a long time

#

old guides are still valid tbh

#

lol

slow merlin
#

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.

strange python
#

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

covert bronze
#

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

strange python
#

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

slow merlin
warm parcel
#

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?

lament mica
#

that is such a random thing to link lol

warm parcel
#

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

strange python
#

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

warm parcel
#

Yea like I can understand the question if there really are no assa m+ players

#

Its a fair one

strange python
#

that is true

#

but really

#

like the spec is the same now as it was in prepatch

#

lol

warm parcel
#

But as you cannot really simulate m+, its always going to be personal way of playing and feelcraftian

strange python
#

and the prepatch spec is the same as it was at the start of bfa lol

warm parcel
#

And I dont think youre going to suffer too much if you follow the vid you posted

strange python
#

infex is a good player

warm parcel
#

Just whenever you hear "best" or "this is the only way"

slow merlin
#

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" 🙂

strange python
#

he gets memed on because of some comments

warm parcel
#

Then you should know that thats not true

strange python
#

but he's good

warm parcel
#

Wym

#

What is this if not discussion

lament mica
#

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

strange python
#

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

frigid kestrel
#

Tbh out of all the discos this one is one of the majorly more helpful

strange python
#

and that skill translates into understanding other skills without being told when

warm parcel
#

Teach a man to fish n so on

frigid kestrel
#

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.

strange python
#

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

warm parcel
#

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

strange python
#

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

slender urchin
#

Is there any way to sim on raid bots with PI

warm parcel
#

Doesnt it not matter

#

Or you mean move out of melee completely

strange python
#

yeah

#

like leaving cp usage zone

#

lol

warm parcel
#

Yeah thats not too optimal

strange python
#

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

warm parcel
#

ol felt real good

#

especially if you get to snipe an enemy that dies just before flag ends

strange python
#

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

warm parcel
#

I love flag from gameplay standpoint way more than the others

strange python
#

although, I DO enjoy the playstyle of throwing my bone around

warm parcel
#

Them simply removing 2nd cast made this spell so much better to use

strange python
#

being able to flagellate everything for a burst option though...

#

is good

iron orchid
strange python
#

imagine trying to explain that music vid to a kid these days

unkempt belfry
#

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 🙂

worldly bridge
#

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

Feels like vault didnt give me anything gud for so fucking long

compact pumice
#

226 phial would still be one of the higher upgrades for me, even from 220

weak horizon
#

Lucky you man, I'm at like 25 runs and no trinket yet

heady kayak
#

I upgraded mine from 203, dumping all that valor was pretty SucksMan

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?

compact pumice
#

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

brisk forge
#

so which is it, got 2 diff answears xd

warm parcel
#

At a certain point if all you care is aoe you discard envenom

#

Tho I doubt its happening too much

compact pumice
#

I was under the understanding that you should rupture rather than envenom

#

So I would CT > ruptures until next CT

warm parcel
#

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)

compact pumice
#

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

It takes plenty globals to just keep stuff dotted and CT inbetween

sick cairn

cause i used to pvp now im gonna do raid

warm parcel
#

Its very unlikely youll ever get to pure CT spam on mass aoe

sick cairn
#

should i get all haste?

#

or balance the two?

sleek otter
#

sim ur char

#

the differences are usually minimal

compact pumice
#

ye you can have top gear replace all the gems for you

#

it will tell you

sick cairn
#

i jsut did

#

i simmed it

sick cairn
sleek otter
#

try and find ur best gear with Top Gear option

compact pumice
#

That's a stat weight one

#

use top gear

sick cairn
#

oh okay

compact pumice
#

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 😛

sleek otter
#

Yea I agree

compact pumice
#

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

warm parcel
#

Youre very much gcd limited unless you just wanna ct spam for some odd aoe implosion reasons

manic crescent
#

hey guys is assassination better then outlaw in castle nathria now ?

compact pumice
#

On pure ST it wins yes. Even on 2 target cleave.

strange python
#

Is assa in tbc a thing?^^

manic crescent
#

@compact pumice do i have to switch to venthyr for it or can i keep kyrian ?

strange python
#

Kyrian is crap right now

#

400 dps is huge

compact pumice
#

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.

manic crescent
#

damn now i have to wait an entire week to switch over

strange python
#

No u can switch and farm renown

#

30 is possible in one id

manic crescent
#

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

compact pumice
#

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

manic crescent
#

alright i feel like such an idiot now

#

switching right now

strange python
#

Get a Group and rush random hcs

#

Play the Campain

compact pumice
#

Wait until you have 15-16 renown to do the campaign

strange python
#

And ur fine

warm parcel
#

Only going back to a covenant youve left before requires 2 resets yea

compact pumice
#

I feel

#

I do a LFR to get easy 10 renown

#

is quantum device simming low?

drifting cloud
#

if its proccing haste during lust it loses most of its value

#

you need to have more crit than haste

!guide

compact pumice
#

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.

rustic whale
#

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

glacial quarry
#

and it's 90% of the time just bad uptime, breaking casts, being a bit too eager with mechanics, etc

compact pumice
#

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. 🙂

strange python
#

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?

spice spire

As possible options s

strange python
#

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 ?

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

drowsy parcel

when you kill any boss once you unluck the possibility of getting loot from it in vault
