i always doubt
I will not have my trinket
need an edit of that gif with infexious
we talking about infexious 
No, we talking about our juicy great vault loots
I was a lazy cunt this week
And only did 1 m+
ugh
π
Yeah I was rocking that one too for the longest time
Got a new necklace last week that I had to grind a socket to
yeah i'm waiting to socket my sin stained pendant
so I didn't pick that and instead picked stygia π
stygia every week gang
Oh
I've been rocking 220 ilvl boots because I'm a poor boy
I went to check out the AH
And
Lmao, apparently these are piss cheap
@stoic needle
not bad
500k on my server 
i fucking
hate people like this
now the price is just gonna crater
gg
Got myself some new bootsies now :3
they are pog
Just transfer to a high-pop server
I think Kazzak is the highest pop server in EU
i just need to find a guild first
So makes sense that they're so cheap
socketed 226 is like 200k on tarren mill
Hmm
how much stygia can u guys gather in 1 day?
is it better to not do dailies and just go for rares?
No, do all dailies and then fill the rest with rares.
You can get around 1k+ per day
Got +35 dps from the boots 

Imagine not simming with WFT
ok 1s
Is there a pin for the pandemic windows for garrote and rupture?
so close to 7k
iirc Elaborate Planning is not applied before the damage from the finisher that triggers it, so something like Envenom is actually technically a little less likely to utilize the EP buff than all the other sources of damage π
But at least you can trigger the EP with a previous finisher and then use an Envenom during the buff-window
Not saying it's bad, but EP is a global mod so it's either everything or everything - a little less from Envenom
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2c3fwhhUTWXqmPPS8noqVK tfw only a 6.7k andy
yeah i get ya. i guess it makes the shiv windows a bit burstier if you can get the next envenom off in 4s
AND thats the 4th time this trinket showed up in vault boysssss I think this is insane luck tbh
Take Poxstorm
ooze gang!
pogstorm
yeah grab that pox
Pox is huge for Outlaw if you play that.
No, you need to have 2 daggers to use Mutilate as Assassin.
If you're speaking about using it as Assa.
speaking from outlaw
i dont think so if its a dagger offhand
Ah yea, most likely.
I think a bis stat 233 dagger is extremely close
Hard to say
i didn't get a pox this week, sadly. but i got the TOP hammer which is good enough that a 220 pox isn't better - i'm free from the hell that is farming plaguefall regardless
well the raid ones are all trash
ill be taking pox
Lol i have screen shots of all my Ooze rewards from vault
226 dagger sims better than 220 pox for my character on outlaw
somehow i managed to get 226/226 on outlaw before i did on sin 
Hello Rogues
Hi
yup
Did you actually read the pins
Legendary choice:
Single Target: Doomblade > Dashing Scoundrel > Duskwalker > MA > Zoldyck*
Multi Target/General Use: MA = Zoldyck*
*Zoldyck is a very valuable option when execute is desired (Sire Denathrius)
yup


Anyone had any luck with ass in 2βs?
i love booty
can you break 7k sim dps without windfury?
i think it's possible
the absolute highest simming profile is what, 7.3k?
and wf adds like ~200?
Ez
What should we put Zoldyck on? Does it matter?
yeah just have all 10/10 mythic on farm
Legs generally.
@limber lion troll the best? I thought orc
for horde
ey whats with the secrets
not alliance

does Doomblade get extra dmg from Zandalari racial - Embrace of Kimbul (chance for extra bleed on enemy) ?

I deleted it, no leaks i promise, only pictures, no links here
https://gyazo.com/9621750ef9862bd8c7ad0e1a4de62445
Yeh, Orc seems to be pretty dank
Iβm surprised that blood elf beats troll
prob extra crit + arcane torrent burst of energy

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

haha thanks!
yeah i know i'm just lazy 
That wasn't the emote I wanted to use

I just counted that I have a 33% chance of getting an upgrade from the Great Vault
Good odds if you ask me
i got like 11% chance to get 233 wep , im optimistic
If the tank pulls 9-10 targets in m+ , I usually open in stealth to garrote so many as possible then i rupture someone and then full dot CT, what after???
Spread Ruptures
Rupture more
and then the pack is dead
So basically envenom + shiv doesnt exist in this situation?
You should shiv asap but don't worry about focusing that target
Oki so envenom isnt in the rotation
Env is useful when the mobs are low hp because applying Ruptures at that point doesn't make much sense
Don't be afraid to do 2-3cp ruptures
I always do 4-5 rupture + garrote
Then i do once CT
then i go shiv envenom on prio target
I guess i did wrong
That's fine too
Different goal in mind
Depends on how dangerous said prio target is
Focusing targets down can be a good thing, it's not necessarily a bad thing
If it needs to die that method is fine
Lower overall does not mean worse
Otherwise you're better off spreading ruptures
Hm aight so i just wanna CT once and try to spread many ruptures and re garrotes
Until CT Is running out i just renew it
Yep yep ^ what i mean
Refresh in pandemic like every other dot
Keep CT alive all the time meanwhile i rebleed garrotes + ruptures basically
Yep
And FoK instead mut
Cheers π
But basically when i have 4 targets i put garrote and rupture on all and CT then i just shiv + envenom spam on prio
I guess thats good
Total M+ noob here <-- is 6.5k DPS overall good for +15 key? (as Sin rogue)
I also vanish when garrote running out to get that extra bleed
Out of stealth
Cuz i run MA in m+
Yep, it's pretty good.
I got around 15% haste from my gear
Depends on the dungeon of course.
Is that rly bad?
No
Becuz i was playing sub and im sub gear lol
It was Necrotic Wake (didnt use any items)
I have 17% and it's completely fine
Aight ty
This might be a weird question, but is there any way to estimate how much a combo point is worth?
Would it be so easy as to divide number of cps spent on rupture and envenom respectively on a fight?
Versus their damage
Well, it's really fight specific but you can definitely look at how many combo points you spent during a fight and then look at damage done with Env/Rup.
And then do the math from there
But it's gonna be a different result every time
Remove whatever CP you used for SnD if you only care about Rup/Env damage.
I think that would be a good start, and roughly show the value. If you started to care about buffs/procs/fight durations, it gets sketchy fast, but generally that's a decent roundabout number that would be close to accurate.
Yeah and it depends on how long the fight was, how many times you got your cds/lust/potion, when did you lust etc.
Hahah yeah, it gets complicated quickly I guess. But maybe it can give me an estimate at the very least
After a quick math session I came to the conclusion that I did about 1764 damage per combo point on my HD kill.
das some quick maths
Yeah and completely flawed
https://mplus.subcreation.net/ info here reflects the truth?
Subcreation provides statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, using the raider.io API, and provides summaries of the top talents, covenants, soulbinds, conduits, legendaries, gear, enchants, and gems used in Mythic+, as well as in raids using the Warcraft Logs API.
Shows assas F lol and sub, outlaw S now
i assume shiv does not increase nature damage from all sources right? (this does not include trinkets)
only the rogue's?
"Your Nature damage done against the target is increased by 20% for 9 sec."
I don't think its accurate, because we have not had a week like this before with the current state of Assa.
AFAIK, it's looking at that exact affix-rotation and including logs from the last time it was active as well as the new current logs
While leveling it feels awful but I wanna believe assass becomes great at 60
And back when we had Tyrannical, Inspired and Necrotic, Assa was awful
Sooo much energy hunger in leveling
majority of people just play outlaw in keys so its going to be low on the tier list just bc of low playrate
Because Sub definitely isn't S-tier lmao
so yes, it's just rogue's damage and not trinkets damage
Yes sir!
After looking into it, this looks to be false. Apparently it only looks at the most recent logs this week.
Only 9 M+ as Assa has been done ranging in difficulty from +14 to +21
Assas energy regen comes from bleed regen passive?
yes
Coz I watch some ppl playing assass and never run out of energy lol
yet Im leveling and always 0 energy π
You need to apply more bleeds my boy
I dont have that passive yet
If you're leveling as Sin ofc you're gonna be energy starved.
Sorry about too much question but is there an option for auto attack on target even tho I dont click anything?
Well there we go then. Rip
If you just attack with any ability, your character will start auto-attacking
I'm really struggling on any multi-target damage as sin in CN. My ST is pretty decent on prog but not amazing for my ilevel, but my MT is really shitter for what I feel like I should be pushing. ST parses are in the 70s-90s but 2-3 target cleave I'm in the 30s. Trying to keep rup/gar rolling on everything I can all the time, but feeling like I'm lacking snap damage on fights like Inerva. Anyone have any ideas/tips? Also can post logs.
That might be an option though, not 100% sure.
Yes but I want it always attack even when Im not clicking
Uhh, then I guess not
Yeah you should post logs here and someone should help you.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/TL43qcRmxVFGtnJy here are our logs from mythic inerva prog
But generally on Inerva you want to ST the boss and just apply garrotes/ruptures on adds and keep pummeling Inerva
Got it. I'm wondering if I'm still missing something on ST as well. Let me find some other logs for that.
https://gyazo.com/f04c8f3fde3cc8e4a15af05d6d907e5f
You're wasting a lot of energy. Almost 10% which is way too much
Not sure if it's a pooling issue or if you were doing balls for a minute straight
But something's up.
https://gyazo.com/4b8603bb2269626a38d4bf9bbf3c536e
Your garrote/rupture uptime is really, really bad on Inerva.
Hi fellow rogues - Anyone tried Tiny Toxic Blade who got a log I can look at?
Are you aware of the concept pandemic, where you can refresh the bleeds 30% before they expire to get full value out of them?
Yep
You Rupture/Garrote uptime should be closer to 98-99%
https://gyazo.com/beedeb10c478edf54bbea83253cab093
Not sure why you did this to an add.
in fight I'm feeling like I'm trying to focus adds too much
You literally wasted Flagellation by throwing it on an add for 2 finishers.
Quick question I always loved to play Assa in Raid and now that it's looking incredible again I am really pumped to play it, but I obviously am playing Outlaw for m+
Since we don't need another venth in our m+ group it would be pretty bad for me to change covenant to venth - how are the dps sims for other covenants on assa right now?
Nvm it's pinned - sorry about that
I've been playing outlaw most of the tier, pretty fresh to sin so I'm def still fucking things up.
https://gyazo.com/147be202eb3e32767c3b666e3e2b7cfc
You also went ham on another add with Vendetta and everything
Literally do not do this
There is no reason whatsoever to use Vend/Flag on the adds
They die way too quick to get any proper value out of them
You just put your garrote/rupture on them and that's it
Then you go ham on Inerva and use CD's on her instead.
yep
got it
I think that's where I'm struggling in general, I'm never sure how much attention to give to the adds
on any fight
You hard-swap to the adds all the time. Do not do that.
guides and whatnot say FoK for 3+ targets to apply poison, 4+ for CP building
what missives do i put on doomblade and zolyck?
I'm sure your team has the damage to deal with them without you having to hard-focus them
I def know I'm not optimally using Flag, was NF and swapped
You can literally muti both adds once, apply small rupture to the small one and garrote/big rupture on the big add
still getting used to it
Yeh, just don't use it on something that dies in 5s
So things to improve in order of importance:
-Bleed uptime closer to 98% (Currently around 80%)
-Less energy wasted, should be closer to 1-2% (Currently around 10%)
-Optimize your cooldown usage better
-Do not hard swap to the adds, keep focusing Inerva and only applying bleeds to the adds. Every single Vendetta/Flag should be used on Inerva.
Appreciate it, thanks
Also last thing
Press Shiv on cooldown.
You missed 2-3 casts, which is quite a lot.
i see on some logs rogue play EP over blindside, why?
Good luck out there.
They play Vigor as well. EP/Vigor sims pretty well on really short fights and many Chinese players prefer going EP/Vigor and 10+ externals.
On AoE fights you normally go with EP, like Huntsman/SLG/SSK
What is suggested with blindside?
why do you open mut snd mut while running ma?
Deeper Stratagem if playing Venthyr, Vigor for most others.
dont know how to explain to this guy why hes wrong lmfao
DS might and will sim better at higher haste levels.
he claims you DONT mut snd mut.
Because you want to get full value out of the 3s window without overcapping combo points.
!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.
Last question - on Huntsman, is it better to try to roll bleeds on both targets the whole time or pump hard on one?
Been trying to do the former but my logs are shit on Hunts too
keep bleeds up on both
THANK YOU.
Always roll bleeds on both
Figured, thanks
Mutilate gains the most value out of enhanced critical strike chance. Using garrote during it is a waste of MA, rather play NS or Subterfuge at that point.
You ALWAYS want to keep garrote/rupture on all targets that you can
Except in Council, where you don't actually get dps benefit from doing that.
But even in Council you want to use multiple garrotes for the energy regen
does Doomblade work only with bleeds from your core abilities? or secondary ones aswell? for example zandalari racial bleed?
On Huntsman you want to have 95%+ uptime on Rupture/Garrote on ALL targets.
gar rup ct, and doomblade, that's it
And sbs
im venthyr and 13.5% haste, should i run DS instead of viggy?
Thanks guys
Probably, sim yourself at Raidbots.com
No problem buddy.
Alright I'm off to bed, GV depression in 9 hours 
do you guys have any suggests for WA's or addons for tracking MT bleeds?
You need to get yourself good nameplates for tracking bleeds in AoE situations
I use tidy plates and increase the bleed debuff size
I personally use Afenar's Weak-aura pack and a custom plater-profile
So you do use sepsis proc'd ambush? I was and was told it's wrong but the bot command says to use
Got it, I have what I think is a decent plater profile
threatplates is really bad ass if you're looking for new @dense aurora
There's a lot to pick from. Mess around with a bunch on dummies and find one closest to what you like then make some small changes if needed
Oh wait you said you like yours. Nvm I can't read
I use flyplatebuffs on default blizz UI and it's pretty good out of the box
Whats the opener when using MA leggo + subterfuge in aoe? Using those 2 together feels weird for keys.
im pretty sure it's still 3x garrote
Kind of have to 3x garrot
yep
ye thats what ive been doing
just feels like a waste of MA, perhaps i should get another legendary
i havent played with that combo since legion tbh
just play outlaw in keys 4head
3x garrote -> fok -> CT
outlaw is super boring imo, rather play another class than outlaw in keys
ye 3 garrote fok seems good, ill give that a go
to each his own i guess
Has better value when bleeds are already up and can vanish as all your bleeds and poisons will crit for the duration
from outlaw to sin feels so slow and like i have nothign to do lol
I feel the exact opposite
i cant see how
outlaw has near highest average apm in my raid usually
besides DH
assass is just bleed uptime and fillers
I did it boys, i went full on pleb and got my 70dps gain by race changing to Mechagnome
Im not proud of any of what i just typed
Constantly managing bleeds, shivs, CT, envenom. Outlaw you just press blade flurry and continue your rotation
outlaw is very very high apm
and a lot of ability prio to worry about
outlaw gets the most value out of having good muscle memory
if you aren't getting carpel tunnel, you're playing it wrong
I mean they're both brain dead
just in different ways
its just smashing your face into the keyboard very fast vs very slow
there really isn't though :/
also one more question - read it's good to pool energy on env up to 80 if no damage CD's are rolling (e.g. flag, shiv, vend)
that true?
Or does it matter much?
i mean there is but ok
yes
there definitely is
the hardest part of sin is looking at your CDs and trying to resist the urge to press shiv on CD when sepsis or vendetta is 5 seconds on CD
you will not do good damage as outlaw if you are doing things in the incorrect order
And do we care more about hitting as many env's as possible or trying to get highest env uptime?
that's just wrong
man i sim higher for DS but i just hate the playstyle
it isnt lol
you can do fine hitting everyone on cooldown in whatever order you want
for DS shiv windows are you always trying to 6 combo point it?
Donβt think this is the place for this
thats really just not true
When tf was your name change?
doing fine =/= doing exceptional
Im legit dying
thanks sherlock
ur welc
ok so you shiv have 6 combo then you do ur first env. are you doing the rest of your env during shiv at 4 and if they go higher from a crit cool?
5+ cp is enough
with DS you finish on 5
don't go guaranteeing 6
ok
and say you have shiv running out with 1s with 3 cp. you env that or just continue ur rotation as norma?
with DS you finish on 5
Having shiv up on the enemy doesnt affect anything
Its literally just there to momentarily give you more dmg
how close is the boss to dying? because if it isnt going to kill the boss with your 3cp enven, no.
Whispyr, why the name change?
cause hes literally our google
cause koji made a joke about it
can i link to youtube in here?

PogU
i dished out some flamin hot nachos on my plastic plate ive had for like 2 years and it fell thru the plate....
FeelsBadMan
I've just been using env at 5+ with DS and not worrying as much about env uptime, which I've been wondering if that's wrong
yeah, i would recommend pooling during enven buff, but im also not nearly the best in the room so /shrug
fair. i mean, i was playing this spec when it was a meme so
may aswell full commit to the troll
Honestly theres so many minute things people do and dont that none matter
As long as you dont let your poisons fall off youre fine
Simming like 200 dps higher on patchwerk on outlaw than assassination but i suspect thats cuz i have a raidfinder dagger lol
or stop auto attacking the boss

but peen never makes mistakes whispyr... you know this Kappa
hello, in council do you guys rup/gar other bosses for the energy or full focus on one?
garrote only
ok. thanks
when do u guys use covenant ability in the ST opener?
Mut > snd > mut > garrote > rupture > then use flag?
or vendetta then flag?
flag/vend before rupture
Play what race you like
whispyr, be honest with me... how much dps am i losing by m>gar>m>flag/vend> rup>m>snd
the race i like is the one that does the most dmg
maybe like 30?
40?
Wall races are within margin of error
word
dassalot
got a 226 cube today, but how does assa play with cube for ST? u just press on cd or try to line with something?
Press on cd
get a macro that self targets, some people claim that self focus helps as well, and make sure you're outta range of healers, and always use it with lust/oncd
oh, and pray like hell that it actually gives you the stats more than once in the fight
does anyone have a good blindside proc weakaura? all the ones i've found i can't seem to make work
no, i just see it lit up and press the shiny button
Quick question for those that are running vigor talent, when u guys get that 4 combo point instead of 5, do u guys use a 4 combo finisher or go for another mutilate when you donβt have garrote or shiv for that one combo point?
4
also, shiv on cd, dont hold it for a cp
the spec plays itself 95% of the time, you're just there to ensure max uptime for it on boss xD
Yea I old shiv for that missing combo, I guess itβs gonna be on CD from now on
Mut on 4 results in wasted combo points
^
ππ»
how's everyone doing?
Trying to hit 60
@balmy condor you doin good? how's the aim training?
Assassin for alt Bcz I prefer it over outlaw
oof. i hate leveling
I suck
Lvl58 almost 60
lol, well that's what practice is for
leveling < doing literally anything else
Lmao true
what is recommended haste for raiding?
whatever sims highest
Just find the best gear on droptimizer for ya
should i be saving on use trinkets for vanish+vendetta?
For MA single target is it better to mut or bone spike during crit period since they generate same combo points
on cd, though i admit, i do use them with cds on pull, rather than instantly using with the first mut
gotchya
On use trinkets line up with vendetta I think
Oh ic
skulker is what i got, it doesn't line up with vendetta
!bis
@loud niche Btw you put it beautifully when said spec plays itself basically, encouraging for average players like me struggling to parse well
heh, honestly the biggest difference in play for the spec is uptime on boss and gear optimization
at least, from what I've seen
When poison bomb doesnβt prot 
is there a way to sim my character with a different cov input
bomb proc or not i'm way off center there
yeah, there's the advanced sim, but you'd need someone with more know-how than me to sort that mess
I am trying stuff out while leveling and man itβs either CT for steady aoe dps or Poison bomb and pray for procs on those big packs
you can sim other covenants in top gear now
^ oh, do that then derp
Uff that PB proc bosses are so satisfying and u see ur dps just sky rocket
how long should i pool resrouces in anticipation for shiv. Like pool till i'm about to cap, or?
hm... im not sure how to explain that. if you pool after enven, and use muts to keep en from capping, and you have a good idea as to how long it will take you to cap on energy, ideally you'd pool heavily after the last finisher you need to ensure that you will not need to reapply gar/rup during shiv, and can spam
but obviously you dont want to let either fall off, so...
in any case, not pooling for shiv isn't the end of the world, and even i have instances of not being able to P U M P for it
i've been pooling @ around 5 seconds before shiv is back up from basically 0 energy, and I almost cap right when i hit shiv
@balmy condor Okay Google, should I be rupturing the off-target on huntsman or only gar like on council?
just wasn't sure if not casting anything for 5 seconds in anticipation for shiv was better or not
yeah, that's fairly good imo, though generally speaking i'd want to be near cap and have 5+cp
with vigor? then you'll want to have 4+ ofc
but honestly i feel pretty energy starved with vigor anyways. I thought it would get rid of that feeling. So maybe i should just go stratagem instead
have you simmed? what is your haste? what cov are you?
i'm necro, 18% haste. Deeper does sim better
if you have vigor and you still feel energy starved that's just the pace of the spec
^
yeah going back and forth between the two definitely feels weird at times
Dogs and huntsman share HP so i assume the answer to this is to keep full bleeds on both targets all the time.
It's how I play that fight and seems to be my best over all.
Though obviously someone else may have a better answer.
outlaw is 1 of the highest apm specs in the game and sin is one of the lwoest
ppl really stay forgetting that
Doing nothing for more than ~2 seconds ina row is a sign you're messing something up, not that you're pooling for energy
thats not really true for sin
thats just not true
That's what I assume, but if it's wrong then that may be keeping me in this rut of 95%
unless u mean for outlaw
if you're pooling for 3+ seconds on sin ur fucking your rotation 100%
wrong

theres nothing wrong with spacing out envenoms especially since it pandemics again
osh, what's your name in game
i mean i probably don't need to pool to full energy, but i do'nt think i'm recking my rotation
yeah pretty much
there are 0 reasons to be holding an envenom for that long dude
you should maintain everything on both targets
Thanks Google β€οΈ
the reason we only garrote on council is because the target's immune
isn't worth the cp
but the garrote energy makes it worth
if you have 5cp and empty energy, you dont just slam that envenom as soon as you get the energy for it
you wait until you're about to overcap and then use it
why do u keep upping the time
first its 2 seconds, then it was 3, now its 5?
first u said 2
lmao
huh
ya he said it for me lol
do you need multiple ppl with the sins trinket to get the most out of it?
you only risk losing a cast of flag by lining it up with vend and vanish if the fight is more than 6 minutes right?
u said ~2 lol
and refering to the original stamtent: 5
if you pool for 30 seconds straight you're literally playing somewhat suboptimally I will die on this hill
FACTS
lol
if you have low haste it can take a while for you to get from near empty to full
2-3 seconds isnt uncommon
Yall have some selective reading comprehension
so the 5 seconds thing, was me going from basically 0 energy to close to 170 with vigor
it did take about 5 sceonds
Seeking thoughts. I have R1 MA, Doom, Zolds. If I want to push progression sire, should I upgrade Zolds?
if your group gets to 3rd phase consistently; you should use zold for the fight
Why do you pool for envenom?
because pooling around envenom is the simplest way to make sure you have energy for every shiv window
and to refresh all dots in pandemic
and to pandemic the envenom buff itself
ok so nother question. SHould i save shiv at all if vanish & vendetta are about to come back up?
if shiv is up use it
With vigor how much do I pool be for hitting the envenom?
there's feral, but feral can owlweave
echu-wyrmrest accord but dont look at my shriekwing parse 
downtime means pooling
pooling isnt a hard and fast #
yeah it depends on your personal haste % and overall energy regeneration rate
just try not to overcap energy while holding onto envenom, and envenom in the last couple seconds of the buff to pandemic it
u can also pool before a flag/vendetta to get the msot out of it
or pool befoer a shiv
y u no play on better server get in good guild parse higher
You pool around envenom so you dont have to pool before shiv
I never knew pooling was a thing, I learnt something new today, Coming from a fury warrior, u just need to spam buttons
lol
i'm working on it okay 
same
So in council of blood, i should garrote an enemy that we aren't focusing? Isn't it awkward if the target doesn't get poisoned from garrote so you need to waste time attacking it?
my old guild went poof and i focused on ksm instead of getting into a new guild
Anything else like this pooling envenom, rotation wise, that would be easily missed from reading guides?
God damn
if i could get some crit haste bracers and cape i could have 30% crit
bullfango, what's your toon name?
can even xrealm mythic now Pog, also yeah. this week I'm hoping to finally be rid of all my mastery
i like mastery because it makes envenoms more bigger
but thats just my feelcraft
big number = good
everyone else should change. to the almighty venthyr pepe
I did give myself a black background to help tho
@stoic needle now those are some pretty nice stats but im pretty happy with mine too π
gotta grind the rest of those sockets then im golden
Mindnumbing poison stacks with curse of weakness?
because the great vault wont shower me with fat loads of slots that i actually need π¦

it shouldn't right? someone is reporting this in the brewmaster discord
25%crit, 20%haste, 22%mastery, 14%vers... I'm missing 4 pieces to be full 226+
There's no reason why it shouldn't
this week the game wanted to give me a shadowgrasp totem (BARF), the fleshfused circle (i aint no mastery boi) and the same damn wrists i have equiped
Idk it feels like the same effect right?
ppl did experiments and adding the additional effect further slowed attack speed
it stacks
that crit doe
pretty sure it was whispyr so if u want a confirmation @ him
shadowgrasp totem seems pretty interesting for m+
Sims take into effect DRs right?
They stack
Not sure which DRβs weβre talking about but yes
stat drs im at 33% crit and wondering when drs start
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
30-39-47-54-66
Are the start of dr
And each level
Do you guys use special talents for sludge?
Thanks
Was mostly to cheese the ma legendary
Yeah, you still got a little to go until the first dr :)
Good to know cuz I noticed for doomblade crit is higher than haste as long as i'm around 17-20% haste passive
Well crit is better for you right now, yes
Next tier will be interesting
Get more crit, and crit will be worse again
Sim has me enchanting crit on rings but gemming haste on my 2 socks
Thatβll happen too
Lmao π my pawn addon recommend me a mace as a upgrade and went into a dungeon and I couldnβt use mutilate Bcz I was missing daggers
Have you considered uninstalling pawn
I am about to
Good
It doesnβt help
Welcome to enlightenment
you've learned a valuable lesson today
At least the default stats recommended is not the right ones
it will never be
Well yeah thatβs definitely wrong
But even when you sim it yourself
Itβs actually useless
Holy shit whispyr changed his name to be accurate 
pawn aint super accurate but at least it points you in the right direction lol
Lmao I am at lvl 59 but check out this haste β οΈ I am so thirsty for energy
I still think raidbots should just remove stat weights from their list of sims
Like just donβt use it
Stop using it
knowing why your stats are a priority is a much better system to follow
I mean sure but that doesnβt tell you anything
Youβre just doing X>Y>Z in your head through logical reasoning
Which is just as inaccurate as pawn
I like to see how my stats are interacting :c

You can do pretty much everything in advanced sims
sharpening stones or oil?
!oil
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

Any time papi
pins
nvm am mongo
during hunstman should you be keeping up dots on boss and dogs?
on mythic council do we dot all 3 bosses or just 1?
Had anyone done sims for Zandalari Trollβs Racial βEmbrace of Kimbulβ with Doomblade? Itβs an extra bleed with ~30% uptime. 1. Does the bleed increase envenom by another 5%? 2. Is this difference a DPS gain over Embrace of Paku?
so i know ambush usage when we play BS, but if we play EP we just simply never ambush ever yeah?
@balmy condor
@misty anchor bleed does not count for doomblade
Well placed steel vs dauntless on sludge?
Thanks.
@halcyon zealot I think the only case outside of blindside is sepsis
hey is it worth to use a lower cp finisher if theres less then a second left on flag window?
Always wondered about that too
thx. we just hit phase 3 so i'm excited to make good use of that legendary
tomes don't work on conduits?
oof.
so much for swapping between sin and outlaw in raid
you can change your soulbind path but not conduits
sigh
what covenant are you
night fae so niya for both
lol rip
i guess
@stoic needle Hey sir, do we apply rupture to all 3 bosses during council?
or get a summon 
no just 1 garotte to the closest one
on mythic
How do you apply poison to the one that you garrote? Fan of knives or just auto?
are we nadjia in both aoe and st scenarios?
autos are usually the best way, poisoned knife if you dont want to lose uptime
i was so surprised about the conduit I didn't even put celerity on before slg pull, bottom feeder dps gang
i think i saw a sim somewhere where zoldyck was simming near celerity in dslice for outlaw 
or something ridiculous like that
thoughts on DS vs vigor for mythic sludge? starting pulls tn
which sims higher
go with normal ST sims or is one better for windows?
Hey fellas, so i'm trying to get my opener perfect. I've read in multiple places now and also seen on the simulationcraft sample action list that on both the opener and upon vanishing in general, we cast mutilate rather than ambush, unless the ambush is a free proc
vigor atm, only 26% haste
yes
if vigor sims higher, go vigor
But taking a look here - the damage per cast time of ambush appears way higher than mutilate + an extra poison proc. I can see how the extra combo point would contribute some more value in most situations apart from one. On the opener, two combos into a slice and dice is fine for giving it 100% uptime, any more is wasted. Am i missing something?
!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.
we get procs of ambush from the level 15 talent blindside
that make ambush worth casting
otherwise mut is always better
@barren wagon think of a mutilate as 1/4 1/5 of an ambush and ~~5 ~~ 10 energy
I can 100% see why the extra combo point would make the difference in every situation apart from the opener, does what i'm saying make sense? That with the redundant combo point, ambush on the opener (so long as you cast a mutilate before your first envenom, and you will) seems to be better marginally
in addition to the other stuff
1174 ( Mut Main hand) +584 (Mut Off Hand) +833 (Mut dot doomblate) +278 (assuming extra instant poison proc) = 2869, Ambush averages 3191
alacrity
Where does that 5 energy come from oshosi?
Ah yeah, the 5 got me confused :D
yeah sorry brain dont work good after wiping to shriekwing over and over XD
This makes the action bars come together a bit more nicely, cheers ^^
Where's this coming from? I think i've missed the first step
20% chance per mutilate to proc ambush
so technically its 1/5
1/5th of an ambush
per mutilate
Makes sense, thank you
I've seen a lot of top logs do vanish -> muta -> envenom -> muta during the opener, is this correct theoretically? I thought the sequence was env -> muta -> env
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
so it is better to use 2 muta and 1 envenom during the MA window?
rather than 1 muta 2 envenom
you mut so long as you dont waste the 2 cps your guranteed of mut
regardless of MA or not
we don't finish on 4
with DS
therefore
you have to mut twice
doesn't matter when
Whisp, I got buffs. That's the end of my story π€£
@balmy condor don't look at outlaw channel rn
I wouldn't say overtuned, have you not seen mages and boomkin and ST we suck
idk if ww is currently overtuned, but its not like all 3 couldn't be lol
The comparison is drawn because we can't compete with them
Two 226 hateful chains to both hunters PEPEHANDS

I have shiv on cd, garrote has 10+ sec left, I'm not using deeper strategem, and have 3 CP. Should I mutilate with 30% crit even at the risk of overcapping cp?
the same
thanks
Another scenario:
I'm at full CP, garrote is about to run out, shiv is up in 2 seconds, im at 80 energy. Should I envenom and just hold the shiv for the next shiv window(having 3-4 cp and 80+ energy)
dont think there is a"shiv window" anymore
just use shiv on cd
without capping the cps iirc
I mean, the shiv window is the shiv window
what does that mean? don't you want to make sure you can get at least 2 envenom in the shiv buff window?
it doesn't really matter
you'll get envenoms in if you're playing well
but you should just hit it on cd
if you're playing well is what im trying to find out. is playing well pooling energy so you can get more envenoms?
If you use shiv with 0 energy remaining, that seems worse because you could only get like 1 envenom full cp in
What does shiv affect? Is it just your deadly poison? Or is it all nature damage
all nature (which includes envenom)
you pool on envenom
if you run into this situation, you shiv
If shiv is off cd and you have 0 cp and 20 energy you still shiv?
you shiv if it's up
isnt it better to just use shiv off cooldown?
I need to do that more. Iβm glad yβall are talking about this
it's like 1 of 3 conversations that we have
that's probably because icy-veins says to do it
Mut vs ambush, shiv windows... there is another one?
What legendary is best^
what about last second of flag haste build window, 2/3 cp, do I envenom or just mutilate?
refer to this
4th topic
Don't forget about what's the best covenant
actually insane how many people try to over complicate it
Or how much haste you need to play sin
ty for tips friends
was wondering, does haste not reduce rogue gcd cause its 0.75 already?
love you guys, downed inerva tonight and dps was WAY higher

its not worth it
92 ilevel parse
o i see
Except outlaw with ar
hey guys whats the command for oils to stones and pots again so i can import to sim?
jk i used search bar
imagine giving PI to a fucking boomie
haste literally worst stat for them, doesn't effect convoke in any way
sims keep saying that my 220 SLH is worse than 207 phial...
even with 4 people in the grp
are you simming at 0 other people using?
o
odd
can't be right....? idk
Itβs not a particularly great
@balmy condor Okay Google, why is this guy's sims saying this?
but 207 vs 220? surely that's incorrect?
seems reasonable to me
phial is pretty insane for ass
phial is THAT good? or SLH is THAT bad?
Phial is good and slg trinket is not that good
phial is amazing
What are guys simming at on like patchwork one boss
7.2
6600 @ 223 ilvl
Bummer, I equipped it in raid figuring that with a full group it'd outweigh the phial but guess not lol
Thanks, just so I have a general idea on what to strive for- Iβm currently 182 and simming 3.1
strive to have fun and be yr best self.
Just do what I did. See Sin is good 24 hours ago, open vault as Sin, get 226 dagger, swap to Sin, ez
you strive to clear the highest content you can, and get the best gear
that's the strive :P
struggle*
Breaking news, bis trinket beats other trinket even at lower ilvl 
so on a raid fight with cleave... Crimson Tempest... do just weave that in ever 12 seconds or so?
you maintain it, yeah
Yeah
we only really play CT on huntsman and sks though
I was swapping to Outlaw for some of the cleave fights and the Sin rogue was still pumpin so... maybe it's just a waste to try and swap.
The struggle is deciding if defeating your horrific rng on weapon tokens is harder than overcoming your shittiness in PvP
Please note: the use of the word shittiness
You know how you join an lfr. And there's some guy in 220 ilvl gear barely pulling 1k dps
And you think.. surely he's afk
gotta start somewhere
But then you see a log and realise that they're ACTUALLY playing
And you realise how big of a gap there is between shitness and average
I mean, maybe they just play cas and don't do much research and are still having fun in LFR doe
You missed the point
Yeah and your point is
Tbh some levels of DPS is hard to hit if you're even pressing buttons
It wasn't a judgement of people who play that way. Play your own game. You're not in my main raid. It doesn't effect me.
The point is. I'm that guy in PvP lol
Nah
You could hit 1800
If you put in effort
And actually tried to understand how your comp works
Yeah. But I don't want to have to.
The knowledge gap isn't hard
It's super easy

Smashing mythic slg is fine
Just PvP makes me want to do anything else in wow
Or just like play Minecraft
Instead of pvping for a 220 dagger I opted to do 79 runs of mists over the last 2 weeks
High level PvP is the hardest content in the game though, so itβs no wonder some people donβt enjoy it
I now have one dagger
Lol
Well I have 2. The other one is just shit
Lol but it's a start
I still Sim like 6.8k I guess
Just loot one from the vault 
Ugh
Every vault I've opened bar 1 was as sin lol
The one I opened as ol I got a 1 hander
Kek
that's dedication.
I have the dagger but too low level to get it to 220, itβs for OH though, but still ran shitloads if mists/PF for one
I'll have to hope for a heroic token from heroic sire tonight or maybe one from council mythic tomorrow
But considering were yet to see one of them for our loot type. Chances aren't good
I'd argue that chances are the same they've always been 
Tbh I'm probably still more likely to choose to run mists another 80 times for a second one than start pvping
so when simming hateful chain, i assume the sim keeps me always higher health the target so the trinket is always doing dmg? so if the hateful chain sims a bit higher than another trinket, in the real world it probably doesnt, right?
Hey guys, why opening from stealth with mutilate? To apply the mutilate bleed I guess? But then why mutilate dice mutilate instead of mutilate dice ambush?

Is doomblade the legendary for Assa PVP?
!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.
it's usually fine
the damage and healing ppm are separate
if i switch after i've switched already, does it take longer?
yes
doomblade or MA
MA fits into the current meta more but doomblade works fine
just harder to get kills reliably in a vanish window
is heavy st builds ok on tyran weeks?
