would be a nifty set bonus

twin bolt
#

guys how do you manage your cds on sludgefist

#

you wait for first pillar?

limber lion
#

On HC or on Mythic?

#

Which pillar do you lust?

twin bolt
#

doing pug normal, lmao

limber lion
#

You want to use cooldowns depending on when you lust

#

So if you lust 1st pillar (or 3rd), you'd use cooldowns on 1st and 3rd pillar

#

If you lust the 2nd pillar (or 4th), you'd use cooldowns on pull, 2nd pillar and 4th pillar

i have a quick question about poisons: when i run a ST sim it says deadly poison is 18% of my damage and it is at the top of the breakdown just above melee. i just did artificer and it was a 5 min 11 sec fight so i checked damage breakdowns, and everything lines up the same except my deadly poison is only like 14% total. any idea what could be causing this

loud silo
#

less envenom uses, shiv cd usage

#

i dunno probs something like that

strange python
#

hmmm

#

sim had 54 envenoms and 11 shivs, i had 52 and 11

#

my envenom buff uptime was only like 2% lower

loud silo
#

it will vary from fight to fight since poisons have an rng element to them

strange python
#

true

brittle pawn
#

You don't have 100% uptime on xymox

mental flower
#

sorry for potentially stupid question, ideally you'll want to shiv immediately before using a 4-5 combo point envenom right?

balmy condor
#

Yeah but if you donโ€™t have any cp you shiv anyway

mental flower
#

so ideally you'll shiv at 4 combo points but use on cd if not?

mental flower
#

thanks both, appreciated

limber lion
#

And apply garrotes/ruptures before Shiv window so you don't have to do that during it.

mental flower
#

aim is to envenom as much during shiv buff ?

balmy condor
#

Aim is to get highest shiv uptime, and keep the envenom buff up during shiv

mental flower
#

thanks both ๐Ÿ™‚

#

lets say im capped on combo points and shiv comes up, better to cast shiv or cast immediately after the envenom?

compact pumice
#

Yes, shiv on full CP

#

if it comes up

royal lantern
#

the 100%best case ofc is

#

4cp->shiv->5cp envenom

#

but like, w/e, just use on cd, even with full cp

compact pumice
#

actually, best case is 4cp + Crit Shiv into 6 cp ๐Ÿ˜„

royal lantern
#

oh ye

#

i always forget deeper

#

even thought i play it

#

lel

#

so yeha, 5 and into 6 xD

limber lion
#

I'd argue that the best case scenario with DS would be
Env - Shiv - Vanish - Muti - Muti - Env

#

That way you have the Env buff during the Shiv/MA window, you don't overwrite the Env buff too early and you only get 1 Env during DS window anyways

#

But don't do that

#

Just some food for thought for the boys

#

Legit, don't do that

compact pumice
teal bloom
#

Already doing it ๐Ÿ™‚

haughty hollow
teal bloom
#

So when Sepsis and Vanish+vendetta line up, I should use vanish when Sepsis has 4 seconds remaining, right?

balmy condor
#

yes

balmy condor
#

well, depends on what MA you're using

#

yeh

#

you vanish to fit the bonk into the crit window

teal bloom
#

Thanks

Convenant for rogue assa in raid/mm+/pvp ? pls

#

sorry

#

brain lag :P just woke up

pallid idol
#

Venthyr is good no ?

#

i see full venthyr in raid

balmy condor
#

yep

pallid idol
#

rogue outlaw is better in MM+ and they play necro.. mmmh

#

I love assa in raid and outlaw in mm+...

#

Venthyr or necro ? ^^

balmy condor
#

it's close enough to where you can play whatever you want

pallid idol
#

Ok thank

#

Outlaw venthyr is good too ?

compact pumice
#

I think so yeah

#

It's more for ST damage tho

#

but you always get the full 30 flag stack kinda

kind talon
#

Outlaw venthyr is very suboptimal for multi target

#

If u wanna swap between specs necro is a good choice

#

Counts towards doom blade as a bleed

pallid idol
#

Humm ok thank

tropic echo
#

what's the best leggo overall for nathria specifically? still doom?

well luckily it's not a week at this point

#

either Tuesday/wednesday you can continue it

mental flower
#

any general advice on using inverva trinket?

subtle tundra

slate harbor
#

Swapping mains and looking to play melee. Would assassination be a solid pick or would it be hard to find a guild with it? Cant decide between warrior, rogue and dk, just want something solid when I eventually look for a guild at the end of the week

warm peak
#

is it worth to garrote and/or rupture on council for the EN?

marsh yew
#

only garrote

#

rupture is not worth it

limber lion
#

Assa rogue is a great pick for raiding, but for mythic raiding it can be honestly tough to find a guild that'll take you in.

#

We just don't have the raid utility that many other classes bring and on top of that we're a melee spec.

slate harbor
#

Ah dang, thank you for the insight

marsh yew
#

the main issue is that the main reason you would bring an assassin rogue to a progression raid would be for execute but dk does better execute and firemage does better execute and dk brings amz and firemage brings a buff.

limber lion
#

We do have a strong execute niche, but that's about it.

#

Yep.

marsh yew
#

imo assassination rogues should do more damage than those classes because we don't bring anything else other than damage but I doubt that will ever happen. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

I guess we bring cloak in certain situations but 20 other classes do the same thing :/

dawn ivy
#

i chose the worst week available to try to spam plaguefalls

#

spirits keep you in combat, grievous pulling me out of stealth, and the goo everywhere does the same. this is terrible

opaque sparrow
#

would you prioratize assa over outlaw for mythic council if add dmg is no problem?

gusty mirage
#

Tbh I switch outlaw for that fight because the extra melee range is such a blessing

opaque sparrow
#

fair point

gusty mirage
#

And the fight sucks in general so imo just play with what youโ€™re comfortable with

cursive meteor
#

Deeper or Vigor?

dawn ivy
#

nondescriptive answer telling you to sim yourself

gentle gyro
teal bloom
#

Is Grove Invigoration mastery buff from Sepsis more significant than the damage that Sepsis does?

gentle gyro
#

But also, personal preferences. DS sims 30 dps higher for me, but uh no, ill pass

dawn moat
#

DS and vigor are equal for my char, and at this poing vigor "feels" smoother

gentle gyro
teal bloom
#

isn't 300 mastery for 30 seconds a lot? Just a thought ๐Ÿ˜„

gentle gyro
#

Mastery is pretty meh unless your name is @stoic needle

strange python
#

hey guys

#

quick question

#

how accurate is this?

gentle gyro
#

Sounds about right

#

Eh

#

Actually

trim zinc
gentle gyro
#

You should flag before rupture

trim zinc
#

Yaya

#

Im doing
Mut SnD mut garrote vendetta flag rupt mut mut shiv vanish envenon

icy haven
#

shiv before vanish envenom aswell

gentle gyro
#

Tbh just do a quick sim and look at the opening

trim zinc
#

Yaya forgot that

strange python
#

Should you vendetta before anything

#

for that extra 30%?

trim zinc
#

No cuz

#

Energy

gentle gyro
#

^

strange python
#

icic

gentle gyro
#

You'd overcap hard

strange python
#

So Mut SnD mut garrote vendetta flag rupt mut mut vanish envenom?

trim zinc
#

Shiv before vanish envenon

mental flower
#

shiv first

trim zinc
#

But ya

strange python
#

"Mut SnD mut garrote vendetta flag rupt mut mut shiv vanish envenom" Wouldnt that ene cap?

#

with vendetta and flag before rupture?

clear oar
#

why is ambush not used in the ST opener, is this do to doomblade trying to proc a free ambush?

drifting light
#

!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.

proven ferry
#

You can you ambush with Master assassin and Koryan for more damage on single target, right ?

icy haven
#

no you still mut from stealth, because mut has a higher CP potential and also attacks with both weapons and applies poisons from strikes

proven ferry
#

I thought coming out and stealth and using garrote on single target boss fights is not as good as some ambush....but after that only use with blindside proc

mental flower
#

surely the higher cp potential is obselete now that you spend it on snd?

modest glen
#

which fights do you swap to subterfuge for?

mental flower
#

with cut to chase change

proven ferry
#

Subterfug for mythic+ only for me

icy haven
#

well eee but poison application still stays ๐Ÿ˜„

mental flower
#

yeah

proven ferry
#

I donโ€™t see itโ€™s benefits outside of that

#

I mean in raid and PvP

modest glen
#

yeah i meant in CN, for like huntsman, sun king

trim zinc
#

Cleave fights

modest glen
#

if the difference is big enough to bother with it

proven ferry
#

Correct

shell quail
#

why do the top parsers not cast shiv at all?

strange python
balmy condor
#

because the logs were bugged

#

shiv can be tracked through the damage done window

#

but only logs from this week show shiv in casts

strange python
#

sorry just wanted to confirm one more time

#

the opener is Mut SnD mut garrote vendetta flag rupt mut mut shiv vanish envenom

balmy condor
#

yes

does anyone elses deadly poison randomly fall off after like 11 minutes

#

or know what could be causing this

balmy condor
#

are you doing pvp

thorny rose

gentle gyro
#

Poisons disappear when switching in/out of leeching poison, switching weapons, entering torghast or arenas

thorny rose

but my crippling poison doesnt

deft quiver

Hey guys, new vamp boy here. Just swapped from kyrian.
2 questions:

  1. Any tips for inserting flagellation into the rotation? Seems like the pins and rotation priorities just suggest to swap it in for Echoing Reprimand.
  2. Any tips for using flagellation on M Sludgefist? Iโ€™m popping vanish/vendetta on pull, p2, and p4. Should I hold flag for these as well, or try to use it more frequently and not line up on pillars?
onyx wind
deft quiver
#

Ok, so pull, p2, p4, yeah?

balmy condor
#

yep

#

on other fights you would just cast it on cd

deft quiver
#

Perfect. Is there a best practice to pop it with 5 cps or something? Iโ€™d image the goal is to max the cp spend in the window, right?

onyx wind
#

Yes

#

4 or 5 on first rupture

slow marsh
#

Or 5/6 if DS

onyx wind
#

Im doing it with 4 but i am also parsing -300%

#

:/

deft quiver
#

So I should use flag in the opener before rupture? Or does it come after popping vendetta?

onyx wind
#

Yes before rupture

slow marsh
#

Yes

#

Vendetta flag rupture

onyx wind
#

And without lust u prob have to vendetta earlier than usual

#

(on sludge)

#

this mf

deft quiver
#

Ah, so donโ€™t listen to the opener on Icy Veins?

onyx wind
#

Yes listen

jovial oriole
#

Wish i could be venthyr on assassionation and necro on outlaw ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

gusty mirage
#

removed from 14 spires for a frost mage huh

onyx wind
#

And replace 4+ with 5+ if ur playing DS

#

and cast flag before rupture

high phoenix
#

My issue on the opener is I mut snd mut then have to wait like 2 globals before I have energy for garrote. Do I just not have enough haste? Or should I be running vigor? Have been on deeper strat

onyx wind
#

I use vendetta before garrote

#

So i get energy to start dealing dmg

#

But the situation is very rare, and only raelly happens for me on sludge

#

Where lining up CD's is very important

#

dunno if i would do it on another boss

deft quiver
#

On opener

onyx wind
#

yes thats what i do

#

with lust

For general use

primal zinc
#

whispyr do you have sims on venths lashing scars?

balmy condor
#

Not sure what you mean

#

Should all be in the pins

onyx wind
#

Lashing scar ilvl is like a 0.2-0.3% upgrade

primal zinc
#

on pins you have WPS sims for venthyr

but you dont have lashing scars sims

hey shadowcore oil or sharpening ston is better for assa?

iron orchid
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

outer furnace

with level is it that rogue dont have energy problem anymore ?

you are leveling your character or gearing it ?

#

i mean

#

i am unsure if i shall main rogue

#

i am bored of bm hunter

iron orchid
#

There are some passives on higher levels, which grant you more energy regen

#

as a sin rogue, you'll stuggle when leveling until you get the venomous wounds

#

passive

with level is that ?

with level is venomous wounds ?

#

hey is it better to use pot during pull or during BL on 4.30 fights, where u cant line up BL with vendetta ?

balmy condor
#

you should pot with cooldowns always

worldly bridge
#

thought BL value > Vendetta value. Ill bl at pull then

#

we're doing Xymox, expect a 4.30 kill, with BL at 3.05. I should only have venthyr spell lining up with bl

balmy condor
#

would be insane

#

if 30% haste is better than 30% damage

candid goblet
#

quick question, during the opener should we vanish when we already have 4-5 cp ready and envenom right afterwards?

#

or is it fine to mutilate after vanish

balmy condor
#

you vanish mut env mut after shiv

candid goblet
#

ok thanks

solar flicker
#

with ds youre never going to get 2 envenoms in the ma window right

balmy condor
#

yup

strange python
#

I

candid goblet
#

wait you said vanish mut env mut, so you don't vanish at 0 cp?

strange python
#

'll say this much...when I go assassination for raiding...I will DEF miss grappling hook haha

balmy condor
#

you vanish after the shiv in your opener

#

and if you get unlucky

#

you mut again

candid goblet
#

alright

outer furnace
#

would you guys recomend as assa outlaw or sub ?

chilly crane
#

what is a good overall dps for sin in mists/dos?

stoic needle

6k+

outer furnace
#

should i leveling as assa outlaw or sub ?

onyx wind
#

whatever u prefer

#

they both suck ass

#

at leveling

#

all 3*

#

Maybe u can level as the spec u will play at max level

compact pumice
#

Sub was super easy, self healing and shadowstrike-teleporting between mobs

outer furnace
#

i am really unsure if i want too play rogue only been like bm hunter everyone say play whatever you like but i only like bm hunter but dont like it anymore in shadowlands

stone epoch
#

could be good to experiment around

outer furnace
#

i know that i dont like bm hunter mm hunter not going survival not going fire mage priest or warlock

azure carbon
#

I think Sub leveling is pretty fun.

#

You just teleport around and 1shot stuff.

#

Outlaw is probably better if you doing dungeons, but if you questing I think sub is the play, personally.

you mutilate

you mutilate some more

you garotte or rupture probably

yeah, while waiting a bit between muts

I wanna try out NS CT in m+ but I'll be home in like 30 and already sleepy af and yesterday I didn't get into any keys :'(

stoic needle

in the slow rogue spec

limber lion
#

Should look into other specs if you're looking to smash

#

Smash buttons that is

stoic needle
#

in fact

candid goblet
#

I can, but why shouldn't I wait less while not losing ST dps

stoic needle
#

because the spec is designed to be slow

#

you don't lose any dps by waiting so what's the problem

candid goblet
#

it is designed to have options to make it less slow though

#

like Elaborate Planning -> Blinside switch

#

I think I would rather play faster

#

but thats just me

balmy condor
#

do you play venthyr

candid goblet
#

yessir

balmy condor
#

do you play vigor?

candid goblet
#

yessir

balmy condor
#

interesting

candid goblet
#

why?

balmy condor
#

just wanted to know how hard you committed yourself to "faster"

stoic needle
#

the fastest sin can be is venthyr with vigor and dashing scoundrel

candid goblet
#

I commit as long as there is no significant dps loss

#

like being Venthyr

strange python
#

seeking faster gameplay out of the methodical dot spec monkascheme

balmy condor
#

people enjoy what people enjoy I guess

stoic needle
#

depends on your definition of significant but deeper stratagem is a noticeable gain over vigor for me

candid goblet
#

interesting

#

From what I've seen in logs it pretty close

strange python
#

worth simming it on your own char probb

#

on sims its like 80 dps

if you want faster game play just buy PIs

#

Pretty much only done keys with Subterfuge, not sure how NS will feel

proper halo
#

is there a way to macro blindside proc ambush when av ailble otherwise use crimson tempest?

limber lion
#

Well you can use this

#

!ambush

prisma monolithBOT
#

Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz
Showcase Video: #assassination message

limber lion
#

But instead of macroing Mutilate, you'd macro CT.

#

It's not really recommended tbh and might not work properly because you're macroing a generator/finisher

#

No other way around it though unfortunately.

#

You can have a macro that uses Ambush instead of CT if you don't have CT picked

proper halo
#

thanks ill just stick to switching it out for raid mythic+ then

limber lion
#

You normally don't run Blindside with CT anyways

#

#showtooltip
/cast [talent:7/1] Ambush; [talent:7/2] Ambush; [talent:7/3] Crimson Tempest

#

You can use that so when you talent into Poison Bomb/Echoing Blades, it switches to Ambush

#

ok thats what i wanted

But in general it is good.

shy dust
#

I donโ€™t even know if good

#

Is what youโ€™d call sin in m+

#

Itโ€™s easily worse than outlaw havoc fury and WW

limber lion
#

A spec that can do 7k in overall and push +20 keys

#

I do consider good

shy dust
#

Almost all specs in the game

#

Can do +20e

#

And high overall depending on dungeons

#

Doesnโ€™t make it good for m+

limber lion
#

Something being "good" and "bad" is an abstract concept. You can't really say what is good and what is bad tbh

gloomy fern
#

mage is bad

shy dust
#

No you can

#

You can compare it

#

Versus other things

limber lion
#

Someone who never does +20 keys will have a fine time as Assa

shy dust
#

You can use stats

#

Which is what subcreation does

limber lion
#

Something can be better and worse than others

#

But not bad.

#

Or good

oblique flare
#

stats don't mean you will necessarily perform better though

shy dust
#

To quantify the strength of a spec in m+

limber lion
#

Like it's a bad spec for someone who's aiming to do +25 keys

#

For sure

#

But for someone who never does anything higher than +20

#

It's a perfectly fine spec

#

And even good up to that point.

shy dust
#

Iโ€™m not a fan of that line of reasoning

loud light
#

it's fine if you have friends that will take you to keys and you know what you're doing

shy dust
#

Just because itโ€™s adequate up to that regard

limber lion
#

If I can 2 chest +19 keys and be top dps

loud light
#

good luck getting invited given the current meta

shy dust
#

Does not make it good

limber lion
#

I think it's a good spec

shy dust
#

Itโ€™s playable

#

But not a good spec for m+

oblique flare
loud light
#

to m+?

#

not a rogue problem

dawn ivy
#

it is viable up to 20s

shy dust
#

Outlaw is a premier m+ spec

oblique flare
#

they won't see my spec if they don't invite me

#

so yes, it's a rogue problem

frail fossil
limber lion
#

But yeah, still think it's subjective. Someone else might consider a spec good that you deem bad.

shy dust
#

But when stats

#

Support a spec being bad

oblique flare
#

such a me problem

shy dust
#

Getting into 14s will always be hard

#

Higher io people will queue into it

#

Just to get weeklies done

frail fossil
#

^

brittle pawn
#

whats your ilvl?

frail fossil
#

1.4k isn't high anymore u just have 100 people higher than u applying

oblique flare
#

220

#

didn't do keys recently, so idk was a while back already

frail fossil
#

so that's a you problem not rogue problem yep

#

rogue still popular in m+

#

u just have one melee spot

oblique flare
#

again, they don't see your spec before they invite you

frail fossil
#

per key

shy dust
#

They see rogue

frail fossil
#

and u gotta just pray it's not taken

shy dust
#

Which means they assume outlaw

reef axle
#

Sin needs to have a fair amount of mastery I think to do decent cleave in m plus

shy dust
#

For the most part

brittle pawn
#

i did 10 mist 15s in 2 days this week, friday night took a while, but the others were ~5 min invites each

frail fossil
#

yeah it's like if u see mage

#

u assume it's fire

brittle pawn
#

1350 io 226 ilvl

frail fossil
#

not arcane

hollow escarp
oblique flare
#

again, and their assumptions or bias is not a me problem, but a rogue problem

shy dust
#

What exactly

#

Is the rogue problem

oblique flare
#

you're a melee

shy dust
#

Iโ€™m not sure what youโ€™re trying to say

hollow escarp
#

not being mage

oblique flare
#

they can legit take any other melee but you

shy dust
#

Yes youโ€™re almost the most taken melee

#

Being rogue

#

Helps your chances

frail fossil
#

outlaw just the most popular melee spec in m+

shy dust
#

Much more than it hinders you

frail fossil
#

poor man

brittle pawn
#

reroll warlock and try to get into keys then come back and talk

hollow escarp
#

must be hard getting invited when you do 200 less dps overall than the meta specs concernpopcorn

oblique flare
frail fossil
#

problem is not rogue is that there's 50 better people applying to a mist 14 cuz it's easy weekly yep

oblique flare
#

seems to me like a community issue

frail fossil
hollow escarp
#

but you can apply to groups with only 1 player

#

so you get in early

humble ginkgo
#

push ur own key

hollow escarp
#

it's Sanguine Depths

frail fossil
#

but again i pugged 10 weekly keys on 2 char

humble ginkgo
#

so

hollow escarp
#

and a priest depleted it and dc

frail fossil
#

had no problem getting into keys

#

on both

humble ginkgo
hollow escarp
#

I know, I do that most of the times

frail fossil
#

ok i played monk and rogue KEKW

hollow escarp
#

playing own key is the way to go

frail fossil
#

just weird people think they dont get inv cuz they play rogue

#

and dont realize that like it's just that there is better ppl applying

hollow escarp
#

also most groups don't want more than 1 melee

#

even I rarely invite other melee except tank

frail fossil
#

i dont care

#

literally had like 2 warrior in the last grp i made

humble ginkgo
#

you want 1 melee and 2 ranged usually for higher keys

frail fossil
humble ginkgo
#

aka rogue mage boomie

frail fossil
#

havoc soon

humble ginkgo
#

cope

frail fossil
#

no people dont realize

hollow escarp
#

havoc does so much more damage

frail fossil
#

how imba havoc is, and with vdh maybe getting nerfed to take a necro war

hollow escarp
#

did a few keys with havoc in group

frail fossil
#

havoc is become a seriously considerable pick

#

as a melee spot

shy dust
#

Is this WoW general

#

Or assassination flower

humble ginkgo
#

havoc is always good in m+ lol

#

Does Rupture do more dps with 5 cps compared to 4 or does it just go longer?

limber lion
#

The longer the duration = the more damage it does

frail fossil
limber lion
#

But no, the base damage is the same :p

hollow escarp
#

and you don't have to cast another rupture

pallid galleon
#

Not more total dmg I meant more dps

hollow escarp
#

and can use that finisher better

stoic needle
#

the dps is the same

weary lagoon
#

longer thus doing more dmg

limber lion
#

No, the dps is the same

stoic needle
#

it scales linearly with cp

limber lion
#

Yeh the more time you spend applying small ruptures = the less time you spend using Envenom

hollow escarp
#

it's opportunity cost to refresh a rupture instead of casting an envenom

pallid galleon
#

Yeah but if the mob will not last long I can take small ruptures

weary lagoon
#

opens up more CPs for envenom right?

pallid galleon
#

Okay thanks

#

Same with Garrot?

limber lion
#

Garrote doesn't use combo points

pallid galleon
#

Ah yes lol sorry

๐Ÿคฃ

hollow escarp
#

but it has a 6 sec cd Sadge

#

was there a tier set bonus in Legion that made it 3 sec or instant?

#

can't remember

limber lion
#

No clue

#

Antorus tier set was Dashing Scoundrel, Nighthold was Doomblade

dense bramble
#

it has no cooldown when talented Subterfuge

#

(when you cast it from stealth)

hollow escarp
#

ofc

dense bramble

and 3s after

hollow escarp
dense bramble
#

talking about tier sets, fangs of the father don't work even while timewalkings, right? because it's a set bonus (even tho illidan warglaives are set bonus and work)

limber lion
#

Fotf should as well

#

afaik

hollow escarp
#

they do

#

only Legion legendaries were nerfed

#

or wait

dense bramble
#

yea but fangs of the father "special bonus" comes from the set bonus

#

which is legacy and disabled

hollow escarp
#

aaah, the tier set bonus doesn't work

#

but there is another effect which works

dense bramble
#

only the wings

hollow escarp
#

yeah

#

I have them enchanted with mongoose for timewalking

dense bramble
#

it's like an useless legendary comparing to warglaives, mop cloak, teraghosa staff and the others

hollow escarp
#

but I think I should search if there is any dagger with 3 sockets

dense bramble
#

does nothing special because disabled legacy

hollow escarp
#

as socketed gear is the best in TW

dense bramble
hollow escarp
#

forgot

dense bramble
hollow escarp
#

Amanthul's Trinket, BfA cloak, Heart of Azeroth are still good for TW

#

they give stats and HoA has essences which work

dense bramble
#

i believe mop cloak still break the game even while wod tw

hollow escarp
#

unfortunately I don't have that

pure salmon

do you still open with 2x garrote with subterfuge on single target?

i know in BFA you did to extend the empowered garrote

What does Sepsis bring to assa ? Does it even get buffed by the passive Mastery: Potent Assassin ?

limber lion

#

@drowsy coral sepsis is fun in tourgast

limber lion
empty peak
#

@limber lion yes but would you normally include shiv as part of your rotation if you are with venthyr?

empty peak
#

ewww

limber lion
#

Shiv is one of the main abilities for Assa.

#

One of the most important abilities in the toolkit.

fallen current
#

Big damage increase

drowsy coral
limber lion
#

And like said, Shiv basically increases the Sepsis' damage by 20% (+ whatever WPS gives)

drowsy coral
#

Interesting, any idea if it's worth using it this way after vanish instead of something else

#

say, a vanish envenom vs a vanish sepsis

limber lion
#

No, you don't use Vanish first and then Sepsis

#

You use Sepsis, then Shiv

#

Then you wait 5-6 seconds

#

And then you Vanish

drowsy coral
#

Thanks a lot โค๏ธ

limber lion
#

During that 5-6 seconds you just use Mutilates/Envenoms

#

When you use the MA talent, you would vanish when Sepsis has 3s left - and with the MA legendary, you would vanish when Sepsis has 4s left.

#

Good luck! feelsloveman

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.

hollow escarp

venthyr for sin is a popular choice, but we are not really "supposed" to be venthyr

hazy geyser
#

i am currently nightfae but i fucking hate it here lol

hollow escarp
#

if you play outlaw in M+, you can very well be off spec assa necrolord

hazy geyser
#

right... i am definitely gonna be playing outlaw for keys

hollow escarp
#

you can also have a look at the pins on both channel

#

to make an idea of how they look in terms of sims

hazy geyser
#

i am gonna be assa for ST / cleave and outlaw for AOE now the question is where do i want to cripple myself

hollow escarp
#

the difference is not that huge but necro also has that nice fleshcraft

#

which looks good on progression and high keys

hazy geyser

necrolords is the one with the bone spike right?

hollow escarp

not trying to convert you though PeepoShake

#

yes, that's necro

stoic needle

You aren't really crippling yourself by going either covenant

we lust 4th pillar

doomblade for single target, zoldyck overall / any multitarget

why do we open with mutilate and not with ambush? since we use ambush on procs with blindside?

that + cp gain

#

awesome thank u

#

is it better to vanish into envenom or into mutilate?

stoic needle
#

doesn't matter either way

#

it's basically the same dps regardless

foggy beacon
#

I find myself having trouble putting dots on multiple targets while maintaining crimson tempest, what seems to be highest number of targets you can have dots on while never letting crimson tempest drop?

stoic needle
#

5-6

#

or more

#

you are probably building to 5cp ruptures, you should do 2-3cp ones first

quiet forge
#

when playing with DS only envenom with 5-6 cp right?

stoic needle
#

yep

low girder
#

any finisher except the opening SND, basically

weak horizon
#

so it's actually better to do 2-3 cp ruptures to build up bleeds before dropping big ones?

#

they do the same dmg/tick regardless of cp, right? it's just duration that cp scales

still dove
#

also depends on how long mobs are living, dont need to put a 5cp rupture on a mob that's only alive 10 sec

weak horizon
#

ah, very true

stoic needle
#

5cp ruptures are more energy efficient but not higher dps

#

that matters less in aoe because you have a surplus of energy but it's still important

quiet forge
#

on single target in the opening do you apply a 5-6cp rupture or 2-3cp since its the first one?

stoic needle
#

if you're venthyr, and you vendetta+flag before rupture(as you should) 5-6cp is better

brisk drum

no it doesn't

I use 2 on-use and it's easy. Pressing one bind every 1.5mins isn't exactly mindblowing

lament mica

ya that's true. I've just seen a ton of ppl come into class discords with "why do my trinkets sim differently when its the same 2 trinkets" and its like noob, its the order they are used in

fallow otter
#

Yup

#

That doubles down on that I was saying, you want to use the short cd trinket first

safe barn
#

stunkei u here my man

#

have you chosen the path of the poison?

fallow otter

But that doesn't line up with their dps cd, so they bind their 2min trinket to it and use that first

fallow otter

But it can't be my main yet

i can't be ass main

#

i enjoy doing m+ too so

unless something happens in 9.1 ill have to stick with ass/outlaw

Yo I was going to craft Zoldyck for sire prog but looking at logs the boss damage in p3 seems to be the same as ppl using doomblade? whats the go with that is it just sample size or what

sample size / luck cuz according to math zoldyck is still better. But its clearly pretty close so run whatever u want to between the 2

wanton path
#

top zold vs top DB

#

seems strange only small difference dont rlly wanna craft another lego for 50-100dps

#

haste crit for leggo right?

its a leggo u will continue to use throughout the xpac. for prog no matter what boss execute ST will always be important

but ya liek i said doomblade is so overtuned that its close so jut run wat u want

yeh think ill just get 235 DB and craft zold for next tier if needed
