i think the general consensus is you don't bring assa for the adds but to focus the boss anyways, might as well go all-in on ST
yea i know u didnt, but im just explaining why people dont play SBS
No one is gonna choose a covenant best for certain fights you're just gonna be benched on for anyway :p
This
Yea SBS has use for sire mythic since its bugged
that is not true bro
u wanna push p2 at the right time
but all phases matter on sire, just p3 matters a lot more
Obviously
p3 is where the race begins yes
but u need dmg on p2 and to kill the adds
at the right time
so for any progging guild
p2 is important
I think SBS is for sure easier to get value out of on fights such as SLG and sire
The fact is that Necrolord is really strong for any encounter with:
A lot of adds for reset
2+ consistent targets at all times
That's all there is to it
Wow, you can sim 2 target 50 minutes and it beats venthyr by 30000k dps?
Lmao Ex, filter wins this time
What?
but also SBS is just harder to manage
which can scare ppl off
and the aesthetic is less cool than venthyr
which is a thing for some ppl
bruther i must go najida for mythyc plus or theotar ?
And the necro sign cov ability is just plain better
Either is fine, Nadja with 2 potency conduits or Theotar with Wasteland
yea i guess SBS is harder to manage in such scenarios, but isnt that just the equivalent of playing MFD
which most people are used to
Do we always delay flagellation for vendetta?
i wish man
No, you wanna cast it on cooldown
and it's a bit harder to manage than mfd since it's cp value varies
ty
theotar ? hmm ok ty
MfD is hard man π
but technically, sbs works like a secondary mfd
https://gyazo.com/920a6f5963117895284e1853dcf5e324
Necro wins in 1.5minute HAC sim
Let me sim a 1.5m 2 target for you as well
u have to keep in mind that people were complaining that kyrian was hard to play
Because you're incapable of doing it yourself
Doesn't sound like it
Because you keep attacking people and spreading false information every single day
Literally every single day
its mean i change to necrolord ?
i mean if ppl wanna stay bad they can do whatever they want tbf, i just wanna bring up to maybe some ppl that dont like venthyr that it's not the only choice for assa
@frail fossil do you feel attacked?
and necro is a strong contender

what false information am i spreading
Here's a 2t sim for you as well
See how Necro beats Venthyr in both
Doesn't have to be a 1000 minute sim
also i'm biased cuz i think necro is a ton of fun 
Try 2 mon since flag is 1.5 cd
what...
its "well known" that for assa anything other than kyrian is good/ok
Necro wins in every duration whenever there are adds or consistent targets.
π oh bru i want change it
people who thinks only venthyr is good is just wrong
Noone is saying that only venthyr is good
We are just talking about why people prefer venthyr over nrcro
ok so single target > venthyr is better
anything involving cleave/wave of adds > necro is better
Just wanna think what is more important for u/ur raid grp
It's really just that NL is a shit cov to root for lmao
No, we're talking about why Necro is better for many scenarios and you keep disagreeing and saying that Venthyr is better when it's not
You literally said that Venthyr is better for SLG
Which is not true
why
I know for a fact that people think the better one mean its the only option, just watch some streams or foruns or in game chat
it's good
cleave for sure necro is better, but still unsure abt wave of adds
Necro wins
which is what we were discussing
Too much green
We already sim'd it
I don't understand why you feelcraft everything
Instead of just simming it
And seeing for yourself
it has a good signature ability, specially in pvp, it's ability is fun and has a skill ceiling the aesthetic is not as bad as ppl think
the only real necro problem is
the sanctum training dummies suck
Dude what is your problem
when i must use my fan of knife ?
Large true
You keep making arguments that something is better or worse, but you never sim anything and just assume stuff.
I don't want to pet an abomination man
The biggest true actually
bro why did they put 3 times 2 target dummies
it's so annoying
There's people with years of experience on theorycrafting/simming
I'm sure they know a thing or two.
Because there is a lot more to this game than sims
On 4+ targets.
Actually braindead
use on all of them ?
im not claiming somethnig is better or worse, im trying to understand why
What do you mean?
and if u play a specc with passive cleave ur dps is biased it's so annoying

Any bladerushers
You literally said this
Not "I wonder if it's better"
You flat out said
"No, it's not better"
Which is not true
Well it's getting annoying guys just sayin
the chad necrolords 
the venthyr fans 
biggest argument for necrolord is fleshcraft vs door of shadows tho
doing a lot of dmg in a 2 minute sim?
On both situations necro wins
if u have secondary adds that dies before the boss, which u can get resets from, necro is better
what is lbe
lead by exemple
^
nop
Nope
makes sense
True
Wish more assa rogues actually played necro
having a cov abilities that matter, i missed that
so we could compare on stuff like SLG
Assa rogues are not brought to SLG
Im probably playing zold sin > outlaw for sire so thatβll be hype ig
So, not a really great comparison
Thanks for your input
idk man like i progged every boss as outlaw almost
kinda dont wanna break the tradition at this point
Youre only gonna get exposed if ur RL looks at p3 dmg
and then, they might now know abt assa execute
True
you can prob make the run for it
XD
we giving pi to a demo lock and it's me playing outlaw the problem 
that mf better get rank1 then

nvm he has a competitor
yo, is the glove slot so much better than the shoulder slot for the legendary?
rank1 with 5800 dps
Yes
idk how they manage but every demo lock have convinced their guild to pi them 
damn
They're the same, but if you have a chance of getting mythic SLG shoulders, then the gloves are better
nah i think the r1 inerva is 8.2k or smth
Doesn't matter if you don't have a chance at those.
really, for demo?
yeah
thats almost as good as rogue
@limber lion Yeah, that's also what I could deduct. Just had to be sure
thing is there is 0 situations where u want objectively a demo over an affli, so like demo is ok for sludge but affli is insane
So i think i found a bug, if you recast flag while stacking it ends the stacking timer and sets itself to 12 seconds
wait really
Hey, i wanne try out assa aswell which is why i am gonna switch to venth. How long does it take to catch up renown to a good lvl? And whats the best way to do so? Ty in advance:)
I can't recreate it but it just happened to me
thats funny as fuck
You cannot recast flag.
1-3 days generally.
To get to 30+ that is
spamming hc dungeons/doing lfr/nm/hc raid/doing the campaign
pretty much depends on what u enjoy doing man
although ive heard pvp renown stuff is broken
and u dont get much from it
also pvp i think but i never did pvp to catch up
I got 30 renown in 1 day by doing normal/lfr raids and then doing the covenant campaign
Allright. TY! Whats more efficient? Normals or heroics? π
yea i heard you get a lot from 2s, but did like 30 games and got 0 renown
They're both the same
You can do them both
Start with heroic, then do normal and queue for LFR while you're doing your covenant campaign
the one u clear the faster
Well i hate pvp. So wont try that π
also note that the more you are behind on renown the higher the chance to get renown while doing things, so keep the things the award renown 100% like boxes, world boss, and campaign for last
higher difficulty stuff has a higher chance of dropping renown
and the chance of getting renown from catchup methods is lower the higher renown u are
Source?
so you want to covenant campaign and weekly last
idk m+ dropped nothing after several 15s and hc dung dropped 
weird
i got renown from every +15 i did
renown catch up is weird
Sooooo just after switching and doing the first couple quests its best to grind renown before doing campaign? π
yes
Renown catchup is really weird, a lot of people have trouble with it
Can u just block me or smth ceverion
And they get stuck on some level or something
ngl renown catch up is just one of the most annoying things
It's fine if you don't get stuck
I learned 2 days ago so that might help
You have a thing here on your renown page
that tells you if you can still win renown today or not
wait what
no fucking way
so theres a daily cap?
I got hard stuck at 24 after doing everything u guys listed besides pvp on first day
that seems weird
There is some sort of cap, but not daily necessarily
I did get 30 renown in one day, but some people report getting 4 renown and then being stuck
obviously can't show on my rogue and im raiding rn but you can log in another character that isn't renown 40 and check for yourself
idk like when i hit 24 it started getting sparce
like to renown 24 everything dropped
after i had much less
No idea how it reset if its daily or anything
gna check on my rogue
I'm pretty sure you can spam normals until 24 and then do campaigns, world boss, and daily box and you'll get to 30+
since i'm not 40
Or if you can like "stock up on renown"
Yeh me neither
to keep it π― renown catch up is fucking annoying 
Would love an explanation from Blizzard
after i finish prog i'll get venthyr to 31+ too
i actually didnt mind renown catchup
if this was BFA u would have a weekly cap of 5 renown to catch up
so i'll only miss NF but i dont like that cov 
I miss soulshape every day
u would only get renown from cringe assault on old zones
That's the best thing of NF
i mean phial from kyrian

Soulshape really is a big loss
Might be an unpopular opinion...but I low-key hope that some point we'll be able to change covenants on the fly for different situations
Especially when traded for Door of Shadows which sucks ass
i think this is the least unpopular opinion
I think that's the popular opinion tbh
Guys, is there relevant comparision of trinkets to run as Assa?
It's just unpopular opinion for Blizzard apparently
for what content?
sim yourself, and hero damage
You can use herodamage.com or bloodmallet.com
i tend to prefer herodamage.com tbf, but i just sim everything myself
I don't use either nowadays anymore
yeah, i do sim aswell, but wanted to have like "go to" π
I used to use HD for a long time though
so u want phial
Yeah, Herodamage is pretty good for that
Putre? Just got it
Big
gz, u will never replace it
yeah that's insane
I see, thanks!
basically the best trinket combo is phial/233 sire trinket

log runs :)
Ah, dont have sire one
man is there anything else to do while waiting for 9.1 
yea be like me and progress SLG
Then i guess i will sim for now, what to use as 2nd. Council, Inerva, or Flywing toxin
thanks for help!
i would say inerva
Good luck!
Probably inerva
i'm using inerva/phial 226
I run Phial + Inerva myself
Whats the 2nd best trinket out of Dungeons? I never do raids:D
dont have to win it if u loot it π
wont get to have a chance at it until 2 more month
ah, chain, would love that one aswell π
its blizzards way of paying me back for trading socketed inerva ring away
IQD probably.
Which one is better on sludge, inerva or shriek trinket ?
inerva will be better if other people use it
inerva on second
u can play both yea
Inerva 15s before pull for the giga-gamers
I have phial, inerva, shriek trinkets
isnt the point of playing double on use to use it on every pillar?
inerva is straight up better than skulker tho, but u can run both for slg
sure but skulker = big number
And we start sludge tonight idk which one i will use
yeah and u can use memory and pull and it'll be back for second pillar
I would just use memory
i used memory/phial cuz cba playing shriek on sludge
when it jumped me into sludge texture and i got meleed 
so glad i never have to play with that trinket again
thats why u use on pillar π
that was forever ago on like hc sludge lol
skulkers vs memory on sludge? i thought memory has an icd thing so not all 5 stacks will proc on pillar?
You should be able to proc all of the charges during the 12s window
And Skulker's is a bit yolo and can pull you out of chain-range
And kill your partner
yeah or move uaway from soaks
so i would not advise for it if u prog
dps check shouldn't be hard to meet anyway
if u just dont die
i just noticed, if i do standard opener my memory wont be up on 2nd pillar before he charges
@celest ruin Pop memory 15s before pulling
The buff lasts for 30s so you can easily use it before actually pulling
do you guys keep bleeds up on the other bosses when doing council?
Yes, garrote and rupture on one extra target.
But no more than that
thank you
Do keep note of your deadly poison on the off-target because it won't refund energy if your poisons drop
u use it on second pillar
memory rota is on pull
second
and forth
like any 2min cd basically
Just use it pre-pull and you won't have to think about it
One less button to press

i'm an outlaw gamer so i cant do that
Why not
Why?
so they have 20% more chance to crit and 10% more dmg
Your abilities don't affect trinkets
they do
Are you sure?
Because none of Assa abilities affect any trinkets whatsoever
Shiv doesn't increase Phial's damage, neither does Vendetta
GS does affect everything, the tool tip is kinda misleading
GS is just insane
I've gotten like a 25-30k sire trink crit before that way
imagine having a dreadfire 
220ilvl sadge
imagine having one at all
Why does Outlaw's abilities affect trinkets but Assa's won't? :''(
Unfair
I wanna buff my Phial with my Shiv as well
Would be nice
Snapshotting with exsang would be so fun ah
zoldycks slot doesnt matter yeah? since no 233 legs or boots from raid?
Hey all, just leveled to 60 and went necro and I'm a little confused about single target use of bone spike, is it use it and leave it? Pop all 3 charges and then use them on CD
Legs are better because you get more stats from legs.
i was going to go legs anyway cause i have 226 haste/crit boots π
On ST you want to put it up on a target, don't need to spam it. You can just use it before you're about to cap charges.
Okay TY!
hows ur prog buddy?
my advice for sbs as sin is to keep some for shiv window
it's a lot of cp for no energy almost
I cannot believe how much Assa not having Acrobatic Strikes feels. Like, im so used to being a bit away from the mobs when i attack them as outlaw, but as assa u literally need to be on their asses to attack
so u're 100% sure you're gonna be able to fit 2 envenoms if u play DS
there are no good legs in the game
just dont cap them
Yep, that's the life of Assa.
Not bad, consistently getting to intermission in Niklaus but we're missing a check that'd make it easier (pushing him before 2nd garg spawns)
every single leg except one has mastery on it i think
It's pretty good general advice, but if you pool correctly, you shouldn't need to do that either.
like i found having bone spikes ready for burst windows rly nice
ngl i probably dont pool correctly so i found sbs helpful
I thought we were going to kill it last night but our best shadowpriest had to sit because some shit came up and we had a garbage boomkin that did less boss dps thank tanks.

That's not a good emote
when i found myself in a scuffed shiv window 
bro i played sin 2 hours this tier leave me alone

how?
But yeh, SBS is probably great for that
@limber lion with more practice on the fight and focusing on improving, I've reduced the amount of my mistakes. re: rupture convo yesterday
hey guys, is this rly woth?
sim it
Nice! Do you keep gar/rup on both now?
siggy not playing outlaw 
Just gar
I tried doing it on a boost hc run yesterday and there's so many things to keep track of all of a sudden :p
we got slg coming fleur
Not sure what I wanna do yet
A lot of us have converted to the way of stabby bleeding
Until you get to SLG that is :^)
true
I hate our opener because our boomkin couldn't figure out how to solo tendant
And I'm playing DS so its slow and its immune right as I want to pop cds
yeah too hard

so we asked him again last night why he can't do it
and he goes
SIR, I CANNOT DO IT. IT CANNOT HAPPEN.
okkaaaaay bro
Welp
oh he busted out the sir
interesting
only attendant issues we're having is when we get to niklaus because its hectic af. Kinda sucks it takes forever to get back there to get more practice in
if we had more DKs we'd have less enraged waiters
right now nik from 100-50 is hard, also because our dps sucks but
need our pumper back
I never tried council pre nerf but the gargoyles are actually meaningless
if they get a few stacks they literally fuck the tank
you have more than one pally?
My guild kills nik first because we have no boomies or fire mages.
So adds are kind of not an option
But you go DS over doom that fight?
I gotta look at logs and see what others are using too
deeper strat
Yeah we gotta differentiate deeper strat and dashing scoundrel lol
I blame blizzard
Ooooo
not as confusing as master assassin (talent) and master assassin (legendary)
Small indie company Blissard π
You mean Deathly Shadows? 
true
Just run both 
Lol
You mean dark shadow?
Sub 
Thatβs how you get 6 combo points per Mut EZZZZZ
^

100% crit isn't enuf
One dude actually thought he was giga-brain and thought that Master Assa lege and talent would increase his damage by 150%
LOL
Thatβs galaxy brain 
I mean good on him for trying lmaooo
If I have over 100% crit that means I crit harder right?
Yeah, I like cute noobs
its like negative resists right
It would in a 3 second fight 

itβs kinda weird that we have a legendary that makes one of our talents completely obscelete like that
Imagine >100% crit turned into critdmg
No, it's the other way around
Ele sham on steroids
We had Master Assa legendary in Legion
When I first started wow I didn't know you could respec and you had to reroll your character if you wanted different talents
That legendary came first in legion
oh I see
And the MA talent was added in BFA because we didn't have legendaries
that was the compromise in bfa
Any venom rush enthusiasts here? 
maybe in 9.1 they can address the weird ass talents we still have with the pvp talents
And the talent that increases dam by 20% in stealth
why was venom rush good in legion I can't remember
And then vanish into a massive envenomw
They said they're doing a pvp talent overhaul
I miss kingsbane 
yeah throw venom rush in there and figure how to make exsanguinate better so there's actually an option in that tier
Death From Above was the true gamer experience
It was on the last talent row with DFA and MFD
fok wheelers ;p
DFA was big dick for Sub
I used to hate exang but it would be fun to get a fucking turbo rupture up and press it
I loved it
ah right
while it sims 30 dps less. what do you guys think about danny trink + skulkers for sludge. Get value for each on use for every pillar?
dfa sub was my fav the spec has ever been
The true gamer experience was blindsiding dispatch in MoP
Yeah, it is a good choice
I hate skulkers with my entire being
When dispatch was an execute 
I want to dedicate my life to hating skulkers tbh
just get phial
just get memory
can't, we're extending till next tier sad rogue noises
I actually got memory first inerva kill, kinda insane
DFV sims better for me than memory surprisingly
A boomie got our last dreadfire
deepfuckingvalue is pretty op
and kept it
220 vs 226?
Or 220 vs 213?

The second one
Ah, that's no surprise then
But memory hits way above its class
DFV is the best trinket in the game
because its 233 xd
And with the MA change, DFV seems more meh.
I gotta go pug heroic sire because we don't clear heroic unless we have a sale
I just got a 220 dagger for the first time in the vault

My fucking alt DK had a 216 weapon before my rogue had one 
lul
The one and only true flex nowadays is 226 phial
Does phial and flayed wing buff envenom through doom blade?
No, right?
No, our abilities don't affect trinkets in any way
plus its bleeds that buff envenom w/ doom silly
Doom blade only empowers via bleeds as is. But trinkets donβt count as poisons for our stuffs
"nature damage"
So then what bleeds buff envenom through doomblade
how much dps does each rank of WPS give us?
but not poison
Not too much, less than 10 dps
it's called a toxin, but dw its nature damage
Sbs and doomblade dot?
ah damn so dauntless duelist probably will still be the play next tier
And garrote/rupture?
Garrote, rupture, crimson tempest, sbs, doomblade
I swear assa tooltips are the most misleading bits of text in wow
And Internal Bleeding, but that's a bit bait
idk the new great vault one's pretty good
if you do a 14, you can do a 15 to upgrade your item to 130 ilvl
has anyone been using solely doomblade for keys

me because i dont have zold
but then I went outlaw because fuck sin in keys
and did like 1.5k more dps
I just pop some tylenol and play outlaw in keys
these boomer wrists can't handle it
its prob fine but i suck at it
I do better with Assa than Outlaw myself but I'm a pretty lazy Outlaw player
Tbh I feel like the higher the key the better sin is. Low keys the mobs just die due to a fire mage anyway
Not actually true necessarily
If you have your firemage burst the enemies from 100%, the faster they go down to execute range and the more damage you do with Zoldyck. And generally the faster mobs die = the more overall damage you do
But yeah, 18-21 is a good sweet spot for Assa tbh
I think a common mistake ppl do with sin in keys is they build full ruptures for the mobs, and crimson uptime is low maybe thats why you aren't happy with the performance
I just feel like triple garrote + FOK + CT is just too low dps, only after like 3-4 ruptures you even compete with any other class
and that's a lot of globals
Meanwhile Outlaw can do MA+KS to do great burst aoe almost every packs
Yeah a pack that lives for 30ish seconds is perfect for Assa.
It's true that if the pack lives for 10s, it's really bad for us
I wanna try the Deathly Shadows leggo tho for keys
But then I also wanna make a zoldyck :S

Yeh could be pretty dank
I feel ya bro, I feel ya
i made zoldyck this week and i regret it tbh. I'd rather stick with doomblade in m+. Atleast that's what suit me.
Actually Iβm trying MA in keys right now. It sims well tbh, and this week thereβs no spiteful to keep you from stealthing between packs. Doomblade just feels too ST :S Itβs great for that though
But despite the sims people here still swear by Zoldyck, want to try it
Maybe Iβll make a r1 before going for a r4 one
Yeah but i feel like st is our purpose. I mean why would i do aoe dmg when i have a mage and a hunter in my group. I'd rather do one job and destroy st. But thats just me ^^
No! Gotta beat that pesky hunter on the overall I say!

guys how i can boost my solo target damage in mythyc ? i mean some creep like pride i must charge my poisns or do evnom more
Let me know how it feels plz. Iβm trying to decide what to craft and idk if MA will be too complicated to use at first
as Iβm still learning sin
@compact pumice MA has felt amazing in keys for me. Doesnβt have much impact on the opener because triple garrote is so strong but once you have your dots rolling and pop a vanish and all your dots are criting + easy CP generation pumps damage
https://gyazo.com/2ab90943a370a4b91efcb7c8b3eabbe1
Over 10k+ on HC Huntsman π€©
Tbf you donβt really change rotation, just that everything crits after you vanish! Which is strong with multiple dots up and running
I see. That does sound fun. I think Iβll take the plunge especially since Iβm nelf and I also like to pvp
shadowmeld π€
Tbh I use MA as Outlaw if Iβm running KS, also in PVP as Sub or Sin. Itβs just a good legendary tbh
But Iβm also the most indecisive person on the planet, so if you see me back here tonight talking about different legendaries you arenβt allowed to mad
Definitely loses value in long ST fights
guys what is rotation with out any cd on single target ?
Can you shadowmeld+stealth mid pack to proc MA?
I donβt think Iβm raiding anymore this tier so I should be able to craft a different ST leggo by 9.1
Like a vanish?
I believe so @compact pumice
Lol time to change race
Beast !
Havenβt tested it myself obviously but Iβve seen youtubers do it in arena so idk why pve would be any different
God damn, why am I cursed with a beautiful Orc 
are u here bru ?
Sup?
only on trash packs
doesnt work on bosses
works in pvp too
even more consistently now because of cloaked in shadows conduit
Not that bad. Fair if it doesnβt work on bosses but damn an extra vanish is kinda awesome for trash.
Do you need to do shadowmeld and stealth manually or can you macro stealth to it?
Wait ... really dumb question. When you vanish. Per existing dots crit too?
Yes sir.
Jesus... I have been playing this shit all wrong
Yeah pretty much want to get as many dots rolling as possible before vanishing to get the most value
I usually aim for 5 garrote/rupture + poisons from FoK and CT before vanishing
Then vanish and normal rotation right away?
Absolute beast! GJ! Did you do anything crazy for that?
@wise fiber depends on mob pack size and how fast they are dying. Large pack/dying slow - triple garrote. Small pack/dying fast - burst rotation
Thatβs just my general rule of thumb. But every situation is different
8 PIs tossed his way LOL
Hahaha PI buffs don't show up on mobile rankings RIP hahaha
Lol I didn't know that...I was just fuckin around anyway. Lol
hey β€οΈ bru i have fine on aoe on 2 or 3 targer i have 5k dps but in solo target i have 3k dps or 2.8 u think my roation is wrong ?
Fuck those PI guys man, ruining ranks for everyone!
what do you sim for
in st
what do you sim for
if you sim for 5k dps
and are pulling 2.8k dps
yes youre doing many things wrong
hmm idk maybe my first talent is wrong xd i change my talent to master poisener
from ep
u think so ?
y
It should be blindside
can u tell me how i can roation on solo target ?
!guide
ty
for m+ what do people prefer subterfuge or MA?
Definitely subterfuge
NS is fine too, and in theory MA is usable
Itβs just not a standard build
And probably a little weird to use
Hey guys, im currently setting up my WAs for my asa rogue alt, whats important to track other than dots and CDs?
if you want an easy setup, you can use Luxthos'
You just described the entire spec
was playing with DS, but much prefer vigor. I like the garrotes I can do in the window.
I prefer vigor most of the time, too
Yeah donβt play DS
Yeah DS is kinda poop in m+
yeah I kinda found out the hard way
after quick decisions, do yall prefer Rushed Setup or Prepared for All for finesse conduits?
I wonder why for sludge there is almost a 50/50 split between ep+vigor and blindside+ds for venthyr rogues
I prefer rushed setup because sin has to use kidney kinda frequently for cc
fair point, it's what I was leaning towards, too, since Prepared is dependent on you actually getting the kick, yourself
I'm loving Sin so much in M+ with Zold. I'm wrecking the others in dps lol
But honestly if you don't stand in shit you don't particularly need the cdr on evasion/cloak
don't even have second potency yet
prepared can be good on spiteful weeks, if you cant avoid the mob you can evasion and the dodges will reduce cd for next time
What do ppl use talent/leggo wise for Council prog?
I'm lazy and like having general soulbinds/conduits so I don't have to change around too much XD
Chinese logs are weird man idk
Zold for mythic prog, right? 3 execute phases?
not that many chinese
doesnt work like that brother
Itβs not the amount of phases, youβre still in execute for the same amount of time
doesnt make the total percent of time in execute magically rise
people really do not understand
Yeah itβs a common thing
@solid mica it'd be DB, then
that being in execute for longer doesnt always mean youre getting more value
its an argument i commonly see for zoldyck being better the high keys you go
when youre going to generally have the same % of time in execute
Yeah I think the argument should be flipped that you have less % time in MA, which makes it worse
Rather than more time in zold
ye
Talent or leggo?
both, but typically talent when you're talking about raid
yaga was asking about mythic progression
Yeh I know
for m+ would you gem crit over haste. Current stats are crit: 26% haste: 22% mastery: 20% vers: 10
That sort of small difference wonβt matter at all
But also just sim yourself
I just have and what I have equipped is the best for dungeon slice
Oh lookie, NA has woken up.
Then there you go

what just asking in case it could be wrong
fair one
Do you run different talents on huntsman and slg than single target?
Huntsman is ep Subt ct
Slg is a weird one cause you want to go ep Subt ct but itβs a little awkward to use
And youβre just there for boss damage anyways
So you usually just go single target

As assassination, do you just shiv on cd?
Yeah, but ideally you are reapplying bleeds b4 and pooling energy for envenom spam
Yup
Looking at the top 100 parses, I'm the only one in HC running EP Subt MFD CT
MFD for the boys
Mfd is a weird one for sure
whatis mfd ?
Marked for death
On Huntsman, yes
In keys for sure as well
what is huntsman ?
Itβs great in keys
Yea, it's dank
Second boss in bathtub
I'm actually a fan of it now after having played with it quite a bit
BATHTUB
????????????
π
you guys so good π hoof
can u sim my hero π idk how to sim
or teach me
Is mfd really worth it if they die pretty quick already
Exactly then it is, because you get resets with MFD
all the letters for bathtub are directly next to the ones you type for nathr
True. I'll have to try it next time. See if i can hit 7k this time
Ooh yeah this is giga brain
Google actually does the same
If you type a word but shift every letter to the left or right, it'll still search for the right thing
Except that it doesn't always work, because Google is cray
I just tried this and it doesn't fucking work. I'm 100% sure I saw a video or something where they explained it and it worked perfectly then
Do you use mfd for CT in m+ After opener or what is the first use for mfd cp? Iβve been doing ct off it
I don't use MFD in M+. I'm sure you could
Doesn't matter, CT is fine. Usual opener is garrote garrote garrote rup mfd ct
Just use it as much as you can
And try to snipe low hp targets with it
Yeah, that is exactly what i do, thanks
Yup, just trying to optimize the use of it because i Wasnt sure whats best to use it for
i've been playing NS MFD
and usually do MFD into CT
without NS, it's reasonable to mfd into slice on lower target counts
or hold till after your subt garrotes
and then rup mfd ct
Guys do i need to delay flag (venthyr ability) to use same time as vendetta always ?
No, it's better to use it on cooldown.
You can try to sync the last cast of Flag with Vendetta if you don't lose a cast, but generally better to just use it on cooldown.
okay thank you !
the haste from flag is amazing
Sure is
I miss some parts of being necro, but being venthyr feels so good as a sin main
btw is it good to use flag while at 5cp to use finisher right after ad starting with 5 stacks already ?
Thats for the opener then for NS buffed CT ? Gotta try that one
Yes and you should pool a little bit before it as well.
Yes, you MFD in stealth and open with CT.
pool means save energy ?
Yes
okay thanks a lot
Dumb question maybe but do we still CT in ST fights ?
Yes we do, outside of Shiv windows.
You don't spam it instead of Envenom, but you just apply the bleed and keep it up.
Aight thanks, thats what im doing. just gotta keep up with everything i always fear missing something important in here lol
No worries buddy. Just keep playing more and keep practicing and you'll get better. :p
could someone please help me with sin necro rotation in m+?
Sure, we can help you. You can also refer to !guide, I think they have good rotational guides in WoWHead/Ravenholdt websites.
Or you can use Raidbots' Quick Sim feature, sim for multiple targets and see what the sim does there
What legendary would you suggest is better for m+ 235 doom blade or MA?
MA, but Zoldyck is the best choice.
Bloody hell ainβt got that crafted yet.
I would recommend getting Zoldyck at 190 first and then investing into a single legendaryt
A 190 Zoldyck will do just fine in M+, then you can invest into Doomblade for raiding
Hey guys, got a question regarding m+ too.
Im venthyr and quite often overcap hard on energy when 3+ targets have my dots.
I thought about trying Deeper Strategem instead of Vigor and Poisoned Qatar . Any experience regarding this ?
You shouldn't be capping too much on 3 targets, but capping is not a huge problem in M+. Rupture is still your highest damage dealing finisher (after SnD) so it's still worth to use it on all targets, even if you cap on energy.

There are some people playing DS, but it does slow the openers a bit and doesn't feel as good to play with.
Most common setups are:
EP Subt Vigor CT
EP Subt MFD CT
EP NS MFD CT (with MA)
EP Subt DS CT
You also probably want to use wasteland propriety instead of PK
Have you been FoK on 3 targets 
:pepeclown-1:
yeah but when 3 mobs have garote and rupture
The versa buff and finesse conduit are better than PK?
i cant press fok fast enough to not overcap
Read what I said. Overcapping is fine.
yeah i did read it
It's inevitable if you have 3+ targets that live long enough and you have garrotes/ruptures on all of them
!guide
Do the bosses take no damage from dots during the dance macabre in council? Should I bother refreshing dots beforehand?
Doing council and sludge mythic tomorrow for my trial
They don't take any damage
But it's worth spamming Envenom's at the end to refresh SnD duration
So you don't have to reapply that
Smart
Are any gamers using doomblade for tyrannical week
@stoic needle maybe 
It's okay in certain dungeons
Maybe like top?
Theater, sanguine, plaguefall
I wouldn't recommend it much in others though
I did one key this week and said fuck it 
Ooh true zoldyck in SD is trash for last boss
yes. it works more than fine this week with the affixes
Yeah since tanks won't be pulling big this week because of necrotic you can get away with doomblade easier
unless youβre running some wonky ass off meta comp with no aoe, the bosses are more important and slamming the inspired mob
Unless they're absolute madlads who pull 5 etherwyrms and a full pack of 4 Angels + dark seeker in spires
Oshosi, Wasteland Propriety is better than PK for m+?

9/10 times yes. It sims nearly the same, is good regardless of target count(where pk is only good with 5+ consistent targets) and gives a vers buff to your team
fair, more overall damage, then
we did larger pulls in spires with an all melee setup. db was still more than fine.
Yeah but you were playing with decent players... Its hard to recommend doomblade for pugs
Those were the rh keys yesterday right?
Spires in general is a decent dungeon for DB because there's a lot of shit that needs to die asap


Is there a reasonable low-haste setup for Assassination for someone looking for a high-downtime version, or is Haste just supremely good relatively speaking?
haste is way too good
haste is your crack
we're haste sluts here
crit is your coke
what about M+, still rocking the Haste bod?
Yeah
ok sweet; thanks guys
Crit becomes a bit better but haste is still good
I guess our autos are pretty high portion of damage too
haste also increase bleeds' tick rate
Woah
Yeah, haste used to be our worst stat for a long time, but after the implementation of haste affecting bleeds in BFA, it became our best stat.
Does crit also increase our chance to crit
No, it makes you do a backflip randomly
only at 40%

the more crit you have = the more damage you do.
HASTE ME DADDY
so stack the master assa talent and legendary for maximum deeps
just said that cuz the guy said haste is ok cuz of auto attacks
But in your defense, it does not state that in the tooltip.
i mean yeah some people dont know it
The tooltip literally only says "increases energy regeneration and attack speed"
Yep
but i mean it's just rae being rae i guess
#justraethings
blue name
Says the sub


Sire is gonna eat that ass
Council is gonna eat that ass
I can't wait 
All I have to do is not kill people with recital or chains and I'm Gucci 
And also do good damage ofc
I mean it's a trial so it's mechanics first right
The higher you go
The expectation is you can do both
Not mechanics first per say
Like yes mechanics are important but your dps should still not suffer if you get what Iβm saying
Yeah I get you
But it looks good as a trial generally
If you contribute to actually killing a boss versus top parsing
IE focusing attendant on council
I was #1 dps in SLG as Outlaw, and I never play Outlaw
Versus padding for a high parse
Says a bit about our guild
Though that doesnβt really apply to sin since itβs shit at damaging an attendant
Fingers crossed you will not be #1 damage
Sin is so dog for killing attendants though 
Nah
get that energy back XD
Still is pretty sure
Hmm
And surely you have that Finality banked
Even if my gear for sub is trash?

Depends on how trash
Imagine
I made finality first π
My gear is mostly haste and crit not much vers
I actually have enough ash to make like a 225 finality
But just does less boss damage than sub on that boss
