more targets == more time in execute
but in higher keys mobs take more time to die
okay makes sense
because aoe has adds that reach 30 percent and your dots hit harder. So even if it's more adds, that means more time for them to tick
yea, and higher health at higher levels
And it's free execute on everything, you have to envenom or mut something for Doomblade to have value
it being entirely passive is kinda big too tbh yeah
I think I'll be crafting Zold today and try it in raid
bring back gear swapping in m+
Other than gouge only complaint about sin in m+ is mobility. One shadowstep and no CDR on sprint via restless blades feels sad. 
we're only 10/10 H but might try mythic shriek again
yeah i am thinking about the same question
My doomblade at 210 outsimmed my zoldyck at 235 for st so you don't have to have a maxed doomblade to benefit from it
so zold it is
yea, I'm thinking so, too, Boom
okay thanks guys
I was going to do DB for raid/M+/PvP, but since it seems strong enough just for the ability, I'll do Zold and see how I like it. Think I can only craft a 190 today, anyway
oh, I might be able to get zold 190 and DB 210, actually. I have like 580 ash right now
might be close
Legendary ilvl is overrated
I remember people reeing at me for crafting MA first week because it would make me one week behind on ilvl for finality
Effect > ilvl

haha XD
All of those people are mad they even crafted finality now
I'm not 😦
but i ree'd making MA strictly because the idea of another 2 years of playing around vanish as a dps cooldown was giving me stress sweats 😦
I have a 210 finality and celerity. I kind of regret making them since i want to focus on Sin, but it's all good
Just use DB for everything and be a fckin baller with them fatty envenoms
Hold up, is sin back on top? I've been afk on notes/logs for like 2-3 weeks
M.a is kinda nice to have too
For ST
But sin > sub by a decent margin right now?
yeah sub is in shambles
Is it better to put Sinful revelation on your mainhand or offhand? Icy Veins guide says offhand but that seems odd.

Just for pure ST btw.
Irrelevant
Lowkey, I've been waiting for sin to pick it up, been sub since beginning of xpac
Happy to see it doing well, will have to give it a shot now
I just got ion'd Spent all of last week running 30 plaguefalls to get a 220 phial just for it to show up on the weekly 
You’ve been waiting for .5 of a tier
Well I'm glad .5 has come then
is it 226 at least?
i saw 3 phials last week
yea it is
Still a good upgrade
yea 30+ dps aint bad
I would totaly get it no question asked
Also i just realised. Why did blizz put so much pant with mastery in game..
Like the raid has mastery only pants. And m+ also has a bunch of them.
already had a 226 but that haste thoooo
looks like its a Stygia Week for me
its good to have a small amount of mastery if you're stacking crit/haste in other slots
those pants usually give you a good amount so you don't need much elsewhere
I'm such an idiot for not doing my venari rep
I only do the weekly ven quest
sockets are a bigger upgrade than any item in the game for me now
0 mastery gang
Let me Sim this Memory real fast before i take this Stygia
Im like %99 Sure its trash
Memory 226 is good to have
memory of past sins is not trash
In raid
memory is good everywhere
if its 226
Skulker is a bit higher in keys
Bah not really lollll
i've been skipping the maw grind but i need to do more i want to socket my MA
I have 220 Dread, Phial, Sulkers, Hateful, and IQD
I dont think Memory beats them out
but ill at least check
Memory is not that good of a trinket
A 226 will outsime them yes
Most other trinkets beat it out
why not
a 226 Memory will outsim?
Because it does less damage than other trinkets
I use phial 220+ memory 226
While having 226 skulker. 220 dreadfire. 213 chain
226 chain is the only upgrade i can get till 233 dreadfire
Chain is shit
oh thank god mort is up this week
U use trinket on pillar anyways
In comparison to phial
U use chain + phial..
I use 220 Phial over 220 dreadfire, but I use it with 226 skulkers
why didn't i grind sockets/rep sooner? 
No you use whatever combination sims the best
Pfftttt Like imma run 220 IQD and 226 Memory, forcing me to drop my 220 Phial for 10 whole dps... Silly sims, go home
I had a question a few days ago regarding if Mutilate applies Deadly Poison twice from Stealth - and in my combat log it only registers once, but I tried it with Wound Poison and I always get two stacks if I open from Stealth, so I would think Deadly Poison also hits twice from that.
This would only really matter when opening in single target when you use Subterfuge, because Garrote doesn't apply Deadly Poison at all while Mutilate does it twice. In my mind you would open with Mutilate>Garrote instead of Garrote>Mutilate, on fights like SLG or in m+ when there's a single target fight.
Does this matter at all? Or does it go into the thrash-bin of "Openers do not matter"?
here's a pic for anyone who cares
Iqd is a slammer trinket
Don’t insult it
226 hateful chain is exactly the same as 233 dreadfire with 22% haste
??? IM insulting Memory... but also IQD is a sim trap
so its not really shit at all
(actually on this one it registered twice - my b)
did something change with flayedwing toxin? or is it better for sin than other specs. it's simming within margin of error of both skulker/past sins
226 hateful is like 10 dps worse than 220 phial
Also @frigid kestrel
if yo have high haste
it sims the same as dreadfire
i watched whispyr sim it on stream
at 22% it was the same as dreadfire
Why is it a sim trap? Does it not consider that sometimes it gives healers mana?
It’s a sim trap if you can’t use your brain
There are fights where he’s
The 2nd proc will give you mana
But other fights you can consistently get stats every usage
It considers that you will get that stat gain %100
you can change that setting in raidbots tho
Maybe with the weakaura that predicts effect
We are straight on Prog, so seomtimes when it gets messy.... it legit gonna not give me stats
I’m glad I didn’t pick my IQD 226 from vault
O shit, you can?
The 226 hateful seems sexy though
???
its literally a sicko mode trinket
what the heck
Id like to unoffensivly and consensually kiss you
I’d rather not have to micromanage if that slot would be useless or not, and only for a minor upgrade compared to something like a phial, and only for sin(since it sims pretty bad for outlaw which I still play a lot)
hot take: it's not useless to help out your raid with the othe rprocs
also how is it bad for outlaw
how are stats bad for outlaw
I don’t know but it sims bad.
It’s like 8th or something
Loads of better trinkets
Im not saying it isnt, ive been using my 220 for a while now.... but it bombs at times, or you have to hold it and hope your raid stabilizes. Like out M Inerva kill was slopy af, everyone was low.... how am i getting a stat proc?
I wouldn't even blink an eye if I saw an IQD in the vault
thats your gear
with the t26 bis set it sims within margin of error of 223 dreadfire
I was simming bis gear
My entire point was this, my sims is telling me to drop 220 Phial/IDQ combo for 226 Memory/220 IDQ combo
and im like... na im good doggie
I did the same thing, farmed 20+ plaguefall 15s then got hateful and it was all for nothing

That’s one look. It’s a lot different for assassin
Cba setting up my own sim
hey guys, is there a typical scenario is aoe M+ when you spam CT instead of one CT then envenoms for the next 12sec ?
when you've pulled 8+ mobs and need to get up CT on all of them
sometimes i get lost in the sauce trying rupture everything. are you supposed to just ct and then envenom one guy?
it's rare, only like the ghost pull in TOP or ardenweald in DOS
you're supposed to rupture things
envenom is rarely used in aoe
yeah sometimes i feel like i rarely env
other than that the initial damage of CT is still to be consider too low to matter right ?
oh cool that makes sense then
it's not nothing but it's still less damage than getting ruptures up
in that situation i would definitely refresh ct early over using an envenom but that's just me
are there dgs or situations where bomb is equivalent or better than ct
"...or situations"
Yeah, ST fights in the raid. 🙂
oh yeah i was just asking for dungeons haha. never for raid
Yeh, always run CT my boy
apparently dashing duelist with PB is pretty decent for M+ because it makes PB crit more
Find a good keybind for it an get comfortable
but nobody has tested it yet
You mean dauntless duelist?
apparently dashing + pb sims really well in dslice
i'd try it for the memes but i dont have soul ash to spend on memes atm lmao
Hmm, I'll have to sim that and test it out
i just wish assas had a little more edge when it came to aoe in m+
SS last exp was nice but not enough
triple SS*
More on trinkets: my choices are 226 flayedwing (vault option), 213 IQD, 213 phial, 213 hateful. Bloodmallet points to IQD+Phial for ST and add cleave. That may be the answer but figured I'd ask if I'm missing something before I pass on a 226 trinket. None of the other vault options are particularly amazing.
Have found quite a few optimizations for Dashing in DS over the last few weeks so I'm not too surprised about this. Dashing is not that bad for AoE anymore, just have to prioritize Envenoms a little more than normal.
Will have to sim it myself and see how it fares against the other picks. Kinda cool seeing different legendaries come up and not have to run the same legendary for all content, and actually have more variance to choose from. :p
Does the leggo change between fortified and tyrannical weeks?
For the profile that I'm using it's around 90 dps less in DSlice and almost 200 dps less with PB instead of CT.
But it's not that giga, pretty cool.
PB+Dashing is about 0.5% ahead of Doomblade+CT in DS for me. Close enough that it's basically whatever.
Ah right, actually
That’s pretty nifty
Are these changes in the Raidbots default apl yet?
Yeah
I mean I don't have Dashing right now and no immediate reason to craft it, but it's nice to have the option
That's odd, using Whispyr's profile, Zoldyck still sims the highest with MA second.
Dashing with PB sounds like a blast tbh. Not that I would craft it myself either, but still :p
Yeah my best setup is MA leggo+Subterfuge+CT
Which is about 1.5% ahead of that Dashing setup
Mmh. How's Zoldyck doing?
But all in all I'd say those are all close enough that it won't make any notable difference in a real key
Zoldyck was side-gradey with the ST ones, could be ilevel replacement related though
With different tanks/healers/dps and different routes/pulls.
I did a Mists +18 and did 7.4k in overall. Then I did one a few days later and did 6.7k overall. Tank pulling big is the #1 thing to increase your dps, if you're into that :p
Not really sure I'm gonna stop running Outlaw for keys though 😛
Yeh, Outlaw still pumps.
so are the other people in your group
hotlaw
i will craft dashing and give it a try asap
Sick, let us know how it goes 
talents are EP, Subterge and PB ?
Tyrannical week so back to sin I guess 
The difference between haste and crit gem/enchants is less than a fraction of a percent lol
like 4 dps in total between all crit or haste
hello my friends @stoic needle and @limber lion
Sup
drinking blood
This is what we call margin of error
you?
I prefer butter over magarine
Feeling good that I got an outlaw wep in the vault and never have to do plaguefall again 
If i have Doomblade crafted - is it even worth crafting Dashing?
you mean the pox?
I didn't get a pox, I got the 2nd bedt one, the gorebound predator's gavel
More than good enough for me to stop farming a pox and just wait for one from the vault
Pretty sure it's better than a 220 pox
Probably not
there a 4 core leggos .....dashing/zoldyck/MA/doomblade
in what scenario is Dashing good?
i have all 235 except MA
Dashing and doomblade are pretty much interchangeable
i would use it in case your haste i WAY low cos you need that extra energy ticks
Most of the benefit from dashing is in the fact that it makes envenom and pb crit 15% more
The energy is a nice bonus tho
before the patch i was using DS on mythic hungering....i had 300 energy raw gain none wasted
thats like 6 free muts leading to finishers
@steep gust
YES!!!! (i feel bad tho) the last 1900 stygia i spent for potency was lashing scars to 226 😦
isn't that a good thing?
Ouch
you totally do
Wombo combo with Doomblade 
!guide
Hello everyone! I was wondering is there is a specific threshold of crit/haste needed to use Deeper Stratagem over Vigor? If so whats a good rule of thumb to follow when deciding which talent to use?
Vigor for m+, DS for raid
hey whats the best legendary for single target boss ?
What conduits should I get for doomblade sin on m+?
Hmm interesting what is your crit/haste #'s out of curiosity
unbuffed
im also venth though i think someone was saying you need less haste if youre venth
Ive been using leeching on sludge because I feel like if someone dies and procs cheat then its already a wipe
i love leeching
also counters the persistent damage
in general
whats the hps on your leeching
Yeah I'm Venth too these are my current stats. Do you think I should try and drop some haste?
im not sure i would just sim yourself with different rings and enchants and stuff
check what works for you
i have tons of vers from pvp gear so i wouldnt go off mine
but you have tons of mastery and as sin mastery tends to be dogshit a little bit
just sim it up
Fair enough, I have a bunch from various pieces https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kYZuUG6g84RYe6kDD4WLmZ
Don’t sim
Aim*
For any specific stats
Just run top gear and find your best setup
There is no x of a certain stat to aim for
Ilvl is generally king to
yeah i can drop like 30 haste for 7 agi and its an upgrade easily
is there any reason to use ambush outside of a blindside or sepsis proc?
no
Okay thanks for the advice! I really appreciate the help
so safe to put muti in that spot on my stealth bars
Not really.
Yeah, you still need a bind for both.
Sim it, usually it's roughly 15 % as venthyr and 25% as non venthyr
Nah man people will do dumb shit and break your chain before a wipe all the time, cheat can save you a brez and help you get a kill
Yeah and leeching is honestly pretty bad.
ive been killed by a skullkers on sludge a couple times, ashamed to admit
If you want to drop anything it'd be mastery
Cheat doesn't always save you from a chain break though since you get HP capped on it and it leaves you with extremely low HP. You have to be relatively high health to allow cheat to save from a break in Mythic
Oshosi telling people to drop mastery? 
You get stunned for like 6s after the chain breaks.
So you can't exactly do anything
It's all on the healers at that point to keep you alive
Is haste/vers fine to craft onto MA if I'm also looking to PvP and do m+ with it?
You never recommend memes to the newbies 
literally all my leggos are haste/vers
Those are the bis stats for MA
Huh, Wowhead says Haste/crit
You don't put crit on ma because it gives you 100% crit
Haste/Vers is a safe bet for many legendaries
Crit loses a lot of value because MA gives you 100% crit my boy
i would haste/crit a new doomblade
Same
Haste/Crit is generally the best stats for most legendaries
But it doesn't particularly matter and I won't be recrafting
My Ma is vers/mastery kekw
Even if you crafted mastery/vers legendary, you'd be fine
You just alter your other gear around it
And enchants/gems
It's only 10 dps lower for outlaw and 40 dps lower for sin
I don't use ma enough in sin to care
Does wrist/ring matter?
Ring is generally more dps
Aight, cheers guys
Haste&Crit on doomblade according to pins - is that still right?
Yes, sir.
ty sir!

Yo guys, I was wondering on TOP, do you use full multi talents?
or do you change some talents for a mono target vision?
Still use full multi target talents. You could experiment with pb but its probably still worse than ct
Doomblade is pretty nice for it tho
So I have IQD and Skulker's Wing. Any advice on how to use two on-use trinkets? I was thinking IQD at pull (with Vendetta), Skulker's at 0:30, then Skulker's 2:00 (lined up with Vendetta), IQD at 3:00 and wait out Skulker's to line up with next Vendetta (4:00) if the fight will end soon, otherwise pop it at 3:30 and get another at 5:00. Does that seem like a good setup?
Oh interesting. I didn'tt realize that
what do yall think, 203 helm -> socketed 220 sadist's sinister helm, or 200 dagger -> 223 stitchflesh's scalpel? the helm sims ~20 dps higher but it feels weird to leave a weapon in the vault
did u read my full message
Yes and I'm pointing out the solution of what item to pick sim it and pick what's best
@jovial horizon make sure u simmed with enchant tho
If you've already simmed it it's pretty redundant to then ask people what they think when you have the sim results
Go with the weapon, you can farm a helm and upgrade it to 220
thanks for your help tellas
In general there is no reason to take a 220 or less item from the vault because you can just farm the exact same item and upgrade it
Use the vault for 223+ items
!guide
He could farm a weapon and upgrade it as well
how do people feel going necro sin instead of venthyr?
they feel regret
so when running master assassin, there is no snapshotting or anything right? Just keep rupture and garrote flowing, vanish with vendetta and use as many muts/envenoms after vanish?
Yes, bleed damage updates dynamically.
Playing around Shiv is probably the most important thing for Assa.
so weird to me after playing sin last xpac, not opening with a garrote from stealth haha
Line up Shiv as close as i can to vendetta right? but don't hold very long
I'm talking about Shiv usage outside of your opener.
On opener you just do the same thing every time
Muti-Snd-Muti-Gar-Flag-Rup-Vend-Shiv-Vanish-Muti-Muti-Env
outside of opener = don't use shiv if i have to refresh a dot within the window?
Almost
You refresh the bleeds preemptively before Shiv comes off cooldown.
You don't want to ever delay Shiv.
You want to slam it on CD as much as possible
And to do that, you need to pool properly before it and remember to refresh bleeds so you don't have to do that during the Shiv window.
right
can someone tell me why we open with mut instead of backstab?
If Shiv is not on cooldown, you press it.
We don't use backstab as Assassination, that's a Subtlety spell my boy
cause we dont have backstab
yes, sorry
!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.
open with mutilate instead of ambush because of master assassin. mutilate will give more CP
thank you, it is exactly what i needed
No problem mate
Do we refresh it even before it hits pandemic? E.g. garrote at 10 secs and shiv coming up in 2 secs
With garrote it doesn't matter as much because it's a generator
But yes, you would refresh Rupture early if that were to happen
Cool, tks
You can't upgrade a weapon to 223
Yet he could get a 226 and the 223 weapon was less of an upgrade so it's a bit of odd advice
Just get a 226 weapon 
Well obviously that would be dungeons bud
It's not odd advice. It makes no sense to get an item that you could farm from the vault over one you can't farm
wat
You cannot get 226 weapons from dungeons
for a DPS loss it would be
You've obviously never been stick with 213 weapons for weeks because none show up in the vault
You cannot grind for a weapon from dungeons
and what option would give a 226 weapon from the vault? DUNGEONS
Yeh, because you can choose to get a weapon from the vault
Just like all of us chose to get 226 Phial from the Vault as well
And 226 IQD
and yet people still do have it
Yeah, but you can't grind for it
Well you can grind the chance bud
The only content you can grind to get a 226 weapon from, is PvP
Yeah, exactly
and telling someone to pick a 3 ilvl upgrade as a dps loss is just pepega
Or a phial, FeelsBadMan
Framing it as a dps loss is just weird
You can get sockets and upgrade into the literally exact same item
But you cannot upgrade into a 223 wep
And weapons are the biggest dps increases for sin
yet the 220 was a dps increase over the weapon
so why why valor and time farming it
He's farming
@limber lion how long would you hold shiv for vendetta/vanish? timing windows for dummy on me right now, while keeping shiv on cooldown, i have to hold it for about 8-10 seconds before vendetta comes up again
When it's a better option to just take the 220 item from the vault
the helm is actually indestructible as well, so i can't farm it, i think tellas is right
You don't hold Shiv like I said earlier.
sTaHp
You can hold it up to 12 seconds for vendetta tho
Would it be reasonable if I expect to do DPS as much as Ele shaman with Assass in M+?
Your Vendetta lasts for 20s and Shiv lasts for 9s. As long as you cast it within 12s of casting Vendetta, you're good.
You don't have to use them both at the same time.
depends alot on the ele these days i think
Generally speaking in performance wise
coz I dont care much about raiding and Im inbetween ele and assass
Dunno if it would be wise to play assass for M+
i mean its not too bad, just ol blasts
It does pretty decent damage and will work fine up to +20 keys.
But yeah, it's not Outlaw-level.
I can help you with those guru
turns out if i upgrade a helm i have in my bags to 220 and socket it, it's a bigger dps increase than the one in my vault. taking dagger, thanks all for clearing that up so succinctly
ty.. xD
figured i'd try ass so i changed my loot spec to ass for the vault and got a 226 dagger lol
Which covenant/talents are you playing?
I can give you an opener for ST if you'd like.
I was necro and am now venthyr. I love it, but I mostly play sin for everything
Keep in mind for the future that the vault is the only non-raid/pvp source of 223+ gear so prioritize getting that stuff out of it at as much as you can. Access to gear like that is time gated so you want to get the most value from it as you can
Right, the opener for PvP and raid is really different. You can go to #pvp if you want to learn the openers for that.
I can help you with the raid one if you'd like
yes please
Right, are you playing with EP/Vigor or BS/DS talents? I'm assuming with Vigor because you're Necro?
In that case, the opener is pretty similar is it is for Venthyr:
Muti - Snd - Muti - Garrote - Rupture - Vendetta - Muti - Shiv - Vanish - Env - Muti - Env - SBS
i am following pin talents
RH and Wowhead guides are updated with new rotations
I think Icyveins is a bit outdated.
oh okay.. thanks bunch!
Any rough estimates on how much dps I'm losing by not using vanish? Master assassin.
Trying to match my sim dps on a dummy and details goes all fucky when you vanish.
It's really hard to say, but it's not that much
I'm off my sim by about 200 dps
That seems about right.
The biggest gap seems to be my flag and trinkets are doing a fraction of what my sim thinks
3 worthless necrotic wake items from vault 
Over 5 mins sim think flag should have done 70k, mine does 35k. Flayedwing poison sim suggests 30k, dummy it did 10k
I wish I wasn't so mongo that I can't hit my sim numbers on a dummy.
Huh?
I mean if you're hitting the same number of autos as your sim and your passive proccing trinket just does half the damage...must be mongo
tyty
i got some mists loot despite not doing it this week, iirc. good stuff
i have 220 weapons but im scared ill never get another 226 vial
phial
**
do i just take the +6 phial?
Weapon is probably bigger, sim them
There we go
That Phial though
To also be fair
Imagine getting daggers 
so is the m+ opener the same old tripple garrote into ct?
Ive never seen phial either
Is there a good way to sim some form of the Sludgefist fight?
A better comparison would be to sim a 220 weapon to 226 weapon, and 220 Phial to 226 Phial
And see which is the larger upgrade
No because you'd need to create a custom APL
yea i went with the phial
no way i was passing it up it would be another year til i see it
I'd complain about never seeing a phial... but the vault keeps throwing weapons at me.
I hope we wont be using it in 1 year tbh
I get neither 😦
Only reason I have 213 daggers is because another rogue pulled them two weeks in a row and didn’t Need lmao
i did that exact scenario it was +23 for the weapon
Is necro supposed to be this close!?
Yeah
it is with vigor aswell so its a bit closer
If you had more haste gear the gap would be slightly larger too
Yeah, sim yourself with Deeper Stratagem my boy
Nice one yeah, ill give it a go! Only 15% haste rn... Making the switch from outlaw for the raiding fun
So I got five daggers from PF and saw 5 other people in my groups get phial before I finally got the damn thing. Should have guilted guildies to help me get it.
You don't need much haste. I have 17% and it's just fine.
How likely do you think it is for you do pvp for a weapon or get a mythic token? If it's not likely at all then go for the weapon
Crit is already my highest simming stat
He already took the Phial
^^
Lol
I don't blame you because there's no replacement for a Phial
But there's lots of ways to get weapons besides vault
yep
Now I have to decide if I want to pair phial with chain or with iqd. Iqd naturally sims better, but I know that's probably not realistic.
There's really not a lot of buttons to press here is there
I hate all of you that get good items in your vault. 
Don’t sleep on Iqd

Sin is a very streamlined and simple spec hazard
Does not have a lot of buttons
Dude. My healers are always oom. Iqd is so frustrating.
ok, just getting anxiety that I have so many empty buttons
also fck managing iqd
the real qustion is should I bind my vendetta to a shift mod just for muscle memory of "big cd is shift mod" that I've already established.
I love that sin has fewer buttons
Not much to manage
Either you get stats or you don’t
Meanwhile sub PvP requires like 18 macros
You look at a wa it tells you
i mean if u need a special aura to make it the best....
¯_(ツ)_/¯
and it's an icky 3 min cd
did they fix the daggers to swords transmog cheat
I too would not use a really strong trinket because it requires me to shift my eyes to a wa for a total of 5 seconds
😵 Went with DS aswell and haste gems and necro came out on top!
quick swap
I am so confused! How!?
My problem with iqd is that I keep finding myself prepped with all my cds ready to go, then iqd is just stuck on mana.
Did you sim venth with the Flag conduit?
For probably entil execute is available.
Plus with the 3min, fight duration is a big deal.
I don't even see Venthyr there, are you sure you simmed it? Link the sim.
You don't have Thrill Seeker equipped on the Venthyr sim
You're also simming a 143 ilvl conduit
You didn’t have thrill seeker selected, also a 145 lashing doesn’t do you any favors, can get a 200 from a calling super easy

Sup guys. With recent Assa changes I've seen some new pvp videos, and a lot of them are suggesting Master Assassin legendary as it works well with Vanish as offensive CD and shadowmeld. But I'm playing chad Horde, not Alliance so my guess is Master Assassin isnt THAT good without shadowmeld for pvp?

It is still really good, but a lot of people are gravitating toward Doomblade in PvP. You can ask the folks in #pvp for more info, they know better.
Hey yall! any reason why Doomblade is recommended on shoulders? Does it really matter if shoulders/hands?
Ahhhh that makes sense! Thanks @limber lion and @balmy condor! I thought that made my covenant switch choice very easy, but back to the drawing board I guess haha
It's not recommended on shoulders. It's recommended on hands if you have a chance to get mythic SLG shoulders. If not, doesn't matter.
Sweet thanks my dude
No worries mate
is it worth it to sim stat weights and build my lego off that or just go the top two
If you want to minmax it, you can sim it by using Top Gear.
Just use all of the combinations and see which one comes out top.
Dreadfire and Phial
oh huh top gear will let me know that info?
phisl nd dfv
Yes.
Thanks bois
memory of sins is super good too if u have it
We should get him tonight with the nerfs
Anyone here use dashing instead of doomblade?
@sacred thicket you can sim legendary crafts with different stats in top gear
can i see damage chart like details after running a topgear sim?
No only quick iirc
You can see the Simulationcraft breakdown in HTML-form if you sim it with few iterations
But you can just do a top-gear sim, then copy the build to Quick Sim and there you can see everything
gonna try. Ty Cev!

Whats broken with Bloodfang? Do the bleeds just not hit hard enough, or not proc enough?
AFAIK, the legendary is just very undertuned. The numbers are just all too low.
wtb more soul ash per wing already
It needs the Doomblade treatment to be good.
Gotcha, seemed like it would have been a solid M+ lego reading it
Got bored, now im reading over the lego abilities for the first time since beta
Quite a few cool legendaries out there, which are not usable because they are undertuned.
kinda sucks, because it'd be fun to experiment with the dif ones and see what weird builds people could make viable
TTB is what shiv should be. without a lego
you're not wrong
Shiv is already kinda loaded tbh
thats fair
Be neat to see a DP build, Like if we had enough energy to just keep Vendetta up
Does bloodfang work with exsang 
2 awful abilities combined to make one giga-ability
did necro sims change recently? cause now Sudden Fractures is simming above any other conduits for me

Yes, they have updated Sudden Fractures apl
crazy
It is generally the better conduit for Necros now
Not for everyone and not for every situation
5 min patchwork is my baseline
and if there's multi targets itll just get better
well now I can use Heirmir for all of my specs. Poggers
I somehow after all this time do not have lashing scars... ope
I found a correlation between needing loot from a boss and getting conduits. If you don't need loot, you won't get the conduit. If you DO need loot you'll get the conduit. So go into heroic sire and pretend you really need loot
You should have it in one day, no problem
Literally do all callings, kill wb and kill sire on all difficulties
No way you don't get a lashing after that
hrm haven't killed sire in a minute
How many callings have you done?
You also have to be Venthyr, in case you weren't aware.
oh eh, I went reading up on it, I'm not venthyr so that explains that. not gonna swap either I don't think so B tier it is.
Welp.
I thought it was odd that with everything I do I hadn't gotten it lol
lol
cool well thanks to this discord I'm ready for my first day as Sin
Welcome to the club 🙂
in case anyone's wondering, Whispyr's blessing of my GV didn't work
I got hot garbo
the only reason I'm trying Sin is because I was like "f it i'll try for a dagger" and I was blessed.
only reason you're trying sin is cause we're the alpha rogues now
eh, I like outlaw
Mine did last week :^)
Assa best spec
There's always next week 
I remember my Sin glory days back in... uh cata?
I had sin glory days in bfa man
Cata was Sub
@gusty mirage but wait I do need H sire loot and still haven't gotten the conduit 
MoP? I was Sin at some point back then.

I just played Combat in Cata
Cata sub was fun
Oooof that is a big difference! What a champ.
tbh I still need a 220 dreadfire, so I just get anima power
Assass was very good in MoP
I think if you need loot AND the conduit, you get anima power
Sadge
haste crit on dblade right?
I never touched combat until this xpac, but hadn't played since MoP so
Yes
Cata combat with legendary daggers was lit
Yea it was pretty fun
I missed cata and mop, and I'm actually so sad about it
loved those daggers... with the xmog would still let u get wings
Though Cata during prepatch Assassination was insanely OP with the daggers
Was a lot of fun for those few weeks
Nice name 
What % haste are you guys around?
I think I'm at like 17%, I'd have to log in and check though
17.4%
Somewhere between 0 and 20%
Gotcha thx
19.39%
17.5%
16 😦
getting kinda impatient with these boes i might just equip these boots
instead of waiting for them to sell
mythic ones?
I'd slap those bad bois on
I would if they're an ilvl upgrade and you don't need the gold
can i interest you in day trading?
maybe 
i still haven't quite found a guild that i'm hyped to be in yet
oof
my IO from s3 and s4 bfa got me into my current guild lol
i wish they could combine EU and NA
so lame that half the cool people are across the pond
Yep, too bad the servers can't handle it
And it would suck for the other continent ping-wise
NA players sitting at 30 ping and EU at 280
Pog
hey i just switched from sub and im not doing as much as i feel i should

can som1 lend a hand?
post some logs
Get dem choices...213 boots with crit/vers VS 216 overcharged anima batt, whilst I have 213 mem of past sins and 207 quantum device... Grrrrr
Ah riiiiiight, vault tomorrow
SSK logs don't really help, can't really analyze them
There's so much downtime and random stuff happening
Time to get a 2nd phial as my only choice 
ik but only fight as assa besides 2 hours a day on the stick
should my first leggo be doomblade on gloves with haste crit? Guides are kind of saying various things
Not running CT is pretty troll though right?
SSK is a really troll fight, legit cannot help you with that.
You can run a ST build to maximize Shade damage, you can run a burst build with MA legendary and EP/NS/MFD to maximize shield damage or a full aoe build
I mean you’re not wrong. You’re either padding hard or feeling bad
Literally cannot help you with that. Would need to see some other logs.
If your comparison on "not doing well" is from 1 single pull on SSK, it's not a good comparison
ill upload today ones later then
But yeah, literally ANY other fight
no no i have full night of attemps
You played Sub most of the prog
like 20 trys half assa hals subt
yeah been sub whole exp so far
switched a week ago and just to train mostly. but feel i dont quite get it
But yeh, upload any other fight and we'll take a look. Preferably Shriek/Huntsman/Arti/Hungering/Lady or Sludge
But generally, anything else but SSK xd
i think we going hungering today
is really covenant doing that much in case of dps?
what boss is ssk? blanking
kaelthas
ah.
Quite a bit yes, Venthyr is significantly better than Kyrian in ST.
But in the end it doesn't reaaaaaally matter
Necro and Venthyr are quite close, NF is not too far away of those and is very versatile for most content.
Kyrian is pretty lackluster for Assa though and doesn't really fit into anything.
Necro is my choose, i guess
yup but im not switching again xD
But it's not like you will do 1k less damage by going a "sub-optimal covenant"
Necro does the most sustained AoE damage, Venthyr the highest ST damage
So you'll be gucci if you go Necro
Basically, do w/e you want
Do we get energy for deadly poison procs?
Except kyrian
D:
No, only from Garrote/Rupture ticks.
You are required to have a poison on the target for that to work though.
What the fuck is that
Cache sucks
Ye I’m ready for disappointment

Cursed pikachu
That’s cursed In every single metric, chief
Yeah pretty much the stuff of nightmares, the more I look at it.

Naw that's tame
Looks pretty cute
uwu
Reminds me of my ex

I have so many emotes
I need that little kissie bear one you have, Whispyr.
I actually had to leave a server to join yours zera
❤️
Let's see it
Cause there’s a server cap

the server cap is 100
Yeah
So Whispyr is a Discord Hoe is what we're saying here.
Never knew someone that was addicted to Discord emotes
why can’t I hold all these emotes
There's always a fetish for everything
I also do log reviews

finally got some nice stats goin https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6g1J734wjWmLtLM3ZDeTds
prob swap enchants to crit
mastery increases the dmg of phial of putrefaction?
any other sinful, celestial, and lightless force dagger gamers? 
no
Trinkets have no interaction with any of our abilities
why is it soo wanted then
Definitely not

the trinket
i can't decide between sinful or lightless for my hammer
just does A LOT of damage
Everyone wants the trinket
Boys I have the hottest of news straight from the presses
Not just us
Literally warriors and demon hunters want it
And they are ooga booga smash characters
📰
This just in
Barring any crazy borrowed power
We’re dropping blindside for ep early next tier

rip
I just got it to sim higher on a 240 profile
Still with DS?
Yep
oh no.
but think about how big the envenoms will be
Doomblade envenom stacking seems to kinda be a thing

10%(ep)+5%(deeper)+15%(doomblade)
That’s probably doubtful
main hand
left hand ?
:^)
both actually
left
mut damage and therefore doomblade dot damage scales from both weapons
ah ok
The CP you spend on CT to buff enven is better used to actually just do another envenom
Yeaah makes sense. Good. 
Yeh for sure
So, when we get 2 legendaries next patch, PB will pull even more ahead when we start running Doom + Dashing

doomblade+zoldyck tho 
I'm actually wet thinking about MA + Doomblade on Sludge
buff zoldyk to 50%
Inb4 some crazy ass borrowed power that gives you 900000 agility per bleed on the target and CT single target skyrockets past poison bomb again because poison bomb is a shit talent
Too bad it'll be old tier at that point :'''(

sludge will be the go to fight for cheesing the biggest envenom ever for the rest of the tier tho
PB is actually such a boring talent
so i will be enjoying it
gimmie that legion pb
Hell nah fuck that
shiv makes your next envenom guaranteed to proc a PB. there fixed problem solved write me a check blizzard
Rng parse nonsense

The top parses had 20-40% of their damage done by PB
Very healthy design
Even more on AoE bosses like Eonar
oh dude
Ye gotta agree though that proccing PB on Mythic Eonar Felhounds was pretty dank
But still, awful design nonetheless lol
proccing PB during MA window
it was fun
trash but fun
a scuffed version of Convoke parsing today for boomies
but imagine how satisfying PB+CT together would be
i've had it in torghast it's litty
@stoic needle
Lmao
tempted to take the trinket just for ilvl or something
Don't you already have 2 226 mastery rings anyways? 
Ngl I did that a few weeks ago just to bump up my queue level. xD

the trinket for queue ilvl is valid
also apparently it's a good trinket when you take into account the overall raid dps bonus
just hard to sim for that
Trinkets that benefit your whole team? 
oh btw before you ask, I have that cloak
Skip

Upgrade 
But that is like
neither are equipped 
Take the trinket my boy
^
Never play it
^
But take it
that's such a dogshit ring
vers literally increases your envenom damage tho
haste doesn't
and neither does crit
yeah but mastery is more efficient at it
because i dont want melee to be in my top damage sources 
envenoms, deadly poison, garotte, rupture
melee
Ez
in that order
It won't be with 0 haste my boy
But Haste = more melee damage
You don't want melee to be your top damage, but you build toward it
is quantum device that good?
Yeh
maybe for parsing...
haste is unavoidable
is there such thing as too much haste :)
i feel like it sucks everrywhere else
it's amazing in m+
And haste only increases your attack speed, energy regen and bleed tick speed
and on prog
And attack speed = very big melee
giving your healers mana isnt a bad thing
haste sucks in m+ :/
wrong
No it doesn't my boy
