The biggest thing is just

tropic echo
#

esp if the group is melee heavy and struggling with range or barely missing dmg on one of them

shy dust
#

Using it on cd basically

indigo valley
#

I can do that

shy dust
indigo valley
#

Thanks!

shy dust
#

Np I wish I could look at it more but I’m on mobile

#

And WCL mobile sucks

velvet nacelle
#

i'm so jealous of your kill time

#

3:03 is insane

low girder
#

WCL mobile peepochrist

indigo valley
#

I spent like an hour putting that group together.

#

No one who’s geared wants to come to shriek xD

velvet nacelle
#

we're doing it in like 5:30 pretty consistently

#

just after the 2nd invuln phase

#

it's SO GOOD for my parses

shy dust
#

I respect the effort arth

#

Keep getting oranges PepoSalute

velvet nacelle
#

yeah, i totally take back my condescension from earlier

edgy dune
#

Do you use shrunken storm to build combos?

velvet nacelle
#

it's fan of knives on assassination

stoic needle
#

Only on 4+ targets

velvet nacelle
#

and you only fok 4+ targets

#

below that mut is more efficient for cp

edgy dune
#

what about interrupts? that's my job too right

#

what to do when kick is on CD?

shy dust
#

Depends

velvet nacelle
#

hope someone else has an interrupt

stoic needle
#

Kidney shot or blind

velvet nacelle
#

you can KS/CS

#

or blind

shy dust
#

You can kidney or blind

#

But that’s more applicable to m+ trash

velvet nacelle
#

but, generally speaking, your group should have more than just you on interrupt duty

edgy dune
#

in higher keys is the rogue doing a lot of kidneys, blinds, on trash?

stoic needle
#

Yes

shy dust
#

Rogue handles more of the cc yes

limber lion
tropic echo
#

phase the boss before second set

edgy dune
#

I'm struggling on trash

limber lion
#

I mean you can help your range deal with the adds if it's necessary but idk

tropic echo
#

if we had that much dps we would've killed it months ago

#

lol

limber lion
#

I personally would never.

velvet nacelle
#

on a melee heavy group the tank will probably be positioning and moving towards ranged adds

limber lion
#

If they die before second set, don't help

shy dust
limber lion
#

If they don't, do help

shy dust
stoic needle
# edgy dune I'm struggling on trash

You should start out every pull with 2-3 cp Ruptures and garottes on everything, and crimson tempest. Start out with 3 garottes, then fan of knives, then use crimson tempest. Then build with mutilate or fok and spread Ruptures around

velvet nacelle
#

@shy dust right? on our heroic sire kill i had to shadowstep to the ranged adds and shadowstep back to the main platform (was playing sub at the time)

stoic needle
#

And refresh those bleeds when they get into pandemic range

limber lion
velvet nacelle
#

i really only try to keep 2 ruptures up most of the time tbh

#

i like to pump crimson tempest

shy dust
edgy dune
#

so most my dps is coming from spreading those ruptures?

shy dust
#

Yes it’s a damage loss for you

steep current
#

Hello quick question would zoldyck be better than doomblade for denath progress ?

shy dust
#

But you’re part of a raid

edgy dune
#

and garrotes

tropic echo
#

if i was to start doing it on rogue then one of the ranged adds would be losing an entire combust worth of dmg

shy dust
#

You’re meant to be working together and that includes doing what’s best for the raid

velvet nacelle
#

@shy dust the dps did 0 dps in a wipe as far as i'm concerned

#

i absolutely abhor people who brag about being top dps in a wipe

stoic needle
shy dust
stoic needle
#

You only evenom when things are very close to dying

shy dust
#

It helps out p3 which is the hardest part of the fight with a tight dps check

edgy dune
#

same thing for like 5 mobs?

velvet nacelle
#

@shy dust our guild, i swear, will never get a boss under 30% until our kill shot

#

@edgy dune do you have details installed?

edgy dune
#

yes 😦

#

I just suck

velvet nacelle
#

@edgy dune you don't suck, you just don't know the class yet

#

in your class hall there's clustered training dummies

edgy dune
#

people are so mean in mythics..and its my key

tropic echo
velvet nacelle
#

practice there

stoic needle
velvet nacelle
#

@tropic echo oh yeah but i mean EVERY mythic boss

tropic echo
#

30-40% is usually the hardest part of every boss assuming it has phases lol

stoic needle
velvet nacelle
#

it feels like we get stuck at 30-40% then we kill it, steady progress until that point, then we stall, then we kill

edgy dune
#

wait..so I was trying that with SIN....but garrote has a CD...it wasn't always up when I was ready to cast on a new mob

stoic needle
#

Put up "no toxicity" in the group description it helps a lot

velvet nacelle
#

@edgy dune if you use subterfuge it'll stay off cd long enough to get it onto 3 targets

tropic echo
#

does it really tho

edgy dune
#

ok

tropic echo
#

you can actually garrote 4 targets with sub, but only 3 of them are buffed

#

maybe that's a haste thing idk

velvet nacelle
#

so if your garrote is on "1" then you'd 1 > tab > 1 > tab > 1 > fok > crimson tempest

stoic needle
velvet nacelle
#

i'm pretty sure the covenant sanctums have a cluster of 3 and a cluster of 5 training dummies

#

it's worth practicing on both since on the 3 you won't be spamming fok

tropic echo
#

ehhhh

im very partial towards mfd

stoic needle
#

4 garottes isnt really necessary because you get energy starved

low girder
#

haste doesn't affect our gcd so no, you get 3 and then the 4th is unempowered, always

edgy dune
#

so I kinda wanna stick with sub...will it put me behind?

#

should I just get good at SIN?

tropic echo
#

i always have enough energy for 4 garrotes

and if you're running vigor you have far more than enough

limber lion
stoic needle
#

Mfd isn't very good to recommend to beginners, and gives you energy starvation issues

velvet nacelle
#

oh if you're playing sub then you'd shuriken storm on 2+ targets

tropic echo
#

the 4th garrote usually has a small delay so I might rupture MFD CT then throw it

velvet nacelle
#

though you're likely to get a better conversation/advice in the #subtlety channel

limber lion
#

Did any of you boys get anything good from the vault? smileyboye

velvet nacelle
#

i personally find sin to be a lot more fun in m+ than sub

tropic echo
#

but if you're running vigor you can always garrote x4

velvet nacelle
#

@limber lion never

stoic needle
tropic echo
edgy dune
#

you mean talent?

tropic echo
velvet nacelle
#

@tropic echo yeah but he also said shuriken storm earlier

tropic echo
#

talent yeah

stoic needle
velvet nacelle
#

so i'm kinda not sure where he's coming from

tropic echo
#

brain gets confused

edgy dune
#

its cool

limber lion
#

We don't use sub for subterfuge.

#

You might

stoic needle
#

Also that means you have to get lucky with Poison procs

edgy dune
#

lol

limber lion
#

But most of us don't.

#

We use Subt or just subterfuge

velvet nacelle
#

also what ceverion said

limber lion
#

It's like saying "DS"

#

What does that mean

#

Deathly Shadows?

edgy dune
#

role sub to subeterfuge with a sub and a subt?

limber lion
#

Deeper Stratagem?

#

Dashing Scoundrel?

velvet nacelle
#

but really @edgy dune your best bet is to practice on training dummies

edgy dune
#

I do 😦

stoic needle
#

Like dont get me wrong, mfd is good. But 4 gar out of stealth with MfD is definitely not recommended

edgy dune
#

my DPS is lit on dummies

stoic needle
#

Just gotta keep practicing man, no other way around it

#

On dummies and in keys

edgy dune
#

mean ass healers holding me down breh

stoic needle
#

Don't get discouraged by some assholes

velvet nacelle
#

get it into muscle memory on dummies then it's easier on keys

stoic needle
#

Well you also shouldn't stand in shit and should use your defensives liberally

#

I highly highly highly recommend making a tricks of the trade macro

edgy dune
#

I do stand in shit

stoic needle
#

So that aggro isn't a concern

edgy dune
#

I dont try to

velvet nacelle
#

if your "rotation" is still an active thought, then you're gonna drop a ton of dps while you're trying to stay alive

edgy dune
#

but I do

limber lion
velvet nacelle
#

OR you're gonna die while you're thinking about the buttons to press

stoic needle
velvet nacelle
#

i personally would rather have someone do low dps if they're playing an alt than constantly be standing in shit

limber lion
#

But that's the sim also assuming you use MFD for SnD

#

Instead of gar gar gar rup mfd ct

#

And I seriously doubt that gar gar gar gar ct is better than gar gar gar rup mfd ct

velvet nacelle
#

MfD feels bad to me unless it's on outlaw

edgy dune
#

thanks guys you rock!

velvet nacelle
#

just feels like the cd is way too long to be beneficial

stoic needle
#

I just don't really find mfd to be needed on sin

velvet nacelle
#

(for ST)

stoic needle
#

The mfd NS CT ma build is sick

velvet nacelle
#

and for trash i don't feel CP starved

limber lion
#

I think MFD is great because Vigor's energy regen is pretty pointless on multiple targets.

stoic needle
#

But for the normal zold build I don't feel it's neccesary

limber lion
#

Yeah nah

#

If you run Zoldy, just go with Vigor my boys

#

Or better yet

velvet nacelle
#

i do like that there's more than just th ecookie cutter builds being played in here though

limber lion
#

Play whatever you want

#

😄

velvet nacelle
#

i feel like they did a good job of keeping the talent builds pretty close right now

stoic needle
#

Vigor gives you more room to not overcap when rupture sniping Kapp

velvet nacelle
#

i mean there's a "best" build for me dps wise, but i'm not dropping a ton of dps to play something i personally find more fun

#

that being said, i haven't tried any exsanguinate builds since legion so maybe that's trash

low girder
#

exsang is gigatrash

#

atm

stoic needle
#

It is pretty garbage sadly

balmy condor
#

exsang is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

#

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

stoic needle
velvet nacelle
#

i like the idea of it but yeah, that's sort of the sense i got from it

edgy dune
#

dang sub channel is dead

charred wraith
#

Exsang bis for sludgekekw

limber lion
velvet nacelle
#

@charred wraith i thought about trying it for a heroic sludge alt run or something but haven't done it yet

low girder
#

i'm sure there's sims lying around of giving us 126% haste and upping exsang to 400% and it still loses to alacrity

edgy dune
#

I'm night fae...do I use sepsis on a trash pull of like 3-4 mobs?

low girder
spark pelican
#

!keys

balmy condor
#

you know what that means right

spark pelican
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

balmy condor
#

that means the boobs sim, will only exist for a month

#

and then be lost forever

velvet nacelle
#

@edgy dune you should be using it as much as you can honestly

#

though i personally did not enjoy sepsis on assassination

low girder
#

this is how seri gets you

balmy condor
#

149 sims

#

to get that

#

I'm not redoing it

low girder
velvet nacelle
#

heh, set up a cron job to just navigate to that url once every few days in a headless browser

#

there, done

vestal wren
#

149 sims 👀

edgy dune
#

I use "target nearest enemy" to switch targets as my keybind, is that bad?

velvet nacelle
#

i'm a click targetter

vestal wren
#

whats the problem teamchina?

edgy dune
#

HOW DO YOU DO all that switching for bleeds as a clicker??

velvet nacelle
#

@vestal wren mata was saying you have to navigate to that sim once a month to keep it cached or something

vestal wren
#

no

#

it simply gets delete after a month, a conjob won't fix that

low girder
#

whispyr did, yeah. not navigate, the entire sim just expires

velvet nacelle
#

i dunno, i just click

#

ahh

vestal wren
#

30 days is the expire date

balmy condor
#

I would actually have to take that sim

vestal wren
#

so you would need to re-sim it every 30 days

balmy condor
#

and go back through the process

#

of resimming

#

for 80085 dps

velvet nacelle
#

gross

low girder
balmy condor
#

and that's a lot of work

edgy dune
velvet nacelle
#

i say screenshot it for posterity and let chuffa use it in the next 30 days

vestal wren
#

Its 1-2 hours of work for my spreadsheet usually, i wanted to automate it but lost motivation^^

velvet nacelle
#

i feel like if you pvp a lot you just naturally get used to clicking on targets

balmy condor
#

he has 30 days to screenshot it himself

low girder
#

that too but also just having a rupture mouseover very helpful

#

imo

velvet nacelle
#

i can't imagine trying to pvp and tab target through 10-40 enemies for the one i want to kill

#

obviously 40 is an extreme and not realistic

#

but it feels like it might as well be

vestal wren
#

tbh

#

i think a circle menue would work well for tab

velvet nacelle
#

so like hold tab an dget an opie of nearby targets?

vestal wren
#

(hold tab -> you get a circle menue with your targets around your mouse)

#

yes

edgy dune
#

I do some clicking in pvp

velvet nacelle
#

that'd be pretty dope actually

edgy dune
#

for focus targets

#

but in mythic AH huh

velvet nacelle
#

i focus priority targets and click/mouseover the rest

edgy dune
#

with pvp addons clicking is ok

vestal wren
#

tab targeting isn't super bad overall

velvet nacelle
#

like i usually have frieda focused in the council fight so i can @violet plaza kick her without having to think about it

stoic needle
#

I used to use mouseover macros but I find tab targeting to be just as good and less effort

vestal wren
#

but it has a lot of small issues that you could fix

edgy dune
#

I'm left so I use the "end" button

stoic needle
#

For bleeds anyway

velvet nacelle
#

@vestal wren it's not but i find it goes to something i don't expect often enough that i just click

stoic needle
#

Mfd and kick are still mouseover

velvet nacelle
#

i will tab garrote/rupture if i'm being lazy on trash

#

but if i'm "try harding" i click

#

i mean this is purely personal preference territory though

low girder
#

also makes rupture sniping easier

pseudo hamlet

Guys, I have about ~22% of haste. I simmed my gear and it shows that crit/vers belt(226) is better than haste/vers(also 226). The weird thing is that after simming my stat weight it shows that haste > all... and the second option of gear(not the strongest one) shows me the second belt with haste/vers but with a crit gem.
Does that mean I am at some kind of the break point where haste loses the value to crit?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vY2rxZ6oCCaUJtmQWteL4k

low girder
#

i don't mouseover garrote

vital haven
#

jeez

#

the only thing i mouseover is mfd

stoic needle
#

I don't like having dots on mouseovers because I end up overwriting stuff that I just dotted accidentally as they move around

balmy condor
#

unlucky

velvet nacelle
#

haha

low girder
#

they're separate buttons, it's just something i got used to

#

it's been less useful as expansions go by lol

granite lance
#

oof, i'm ilvl 199 and i managed to do a +12 last week, it's a shame the vault reward was in the only slot that I can't benefit from, my legendary slot...

stoic needle
velvet nacelle
#

@granite lance that has happened to me so many times this expansion

#

my monk has one 226 piece and everything else is 197-200ish

granite lance
#

on my other character before this, I got a weapon 4 weeks in a row

#

i know that's better than not getting a weapon but i mean jeez come on

velvet nacelle
#

last weeks weekly quest gave me an item in that slot and my vault this week also gave me an item in that slot

granite lance
#

ouch

#

i'm debating just making a different legendary so i can take the 223

pseudo hamlet
velvet nacelle
#

the vault can be great but, for me, it's more often been disappointment

balmy condor
#

it's just how stats work

#

they're close enough to not matter in this case

low girder
#

yep. do not use stat weights. they're pointless

granite lance
#

i'm currently using doomblade gloves but i have a zoldyck legs, i could make doomblade shoulders instead or level up my zoldyck... 🤔

velvet nacelle
#

i've pulled stygia 8 or 9 times now on my main

balmy condor
velvet nacelle
#

8 or 9 times BEFORE breaking 215 ilvl i should say

granite lance
#

because the vault dropped 223 gloves

pseudo hamlet
#

Sure thing, took the second belt anyway, rest were... the same items. So will have that one just in case if I get other 226ilvl item with different stat 😄

balmy condor
neat cairn
#

Yeah just wait

#

I just keep the higher ilvl stuff in my bags for bag spec

granite lance
#

i could just switch to zoldyck i guess

neat cairn
#

Sim it

granite lance
#

i did

neat cairn
#

What's the ilvl gloves you're wearing?

granite lance
#

ok so

#

225 doomblade gloves atm, 223 is being offered by the vault

pearl goblet
#

guys whats the best leg for assa pvp? 😄 rbgs mostly

granite lance
#

If I take the highest simming alternative, it's +0.9% DPS (ew)

neat cairn
#

so the gloves are the only thing in your vault? you can have a dud week

granite lance
#

but if I take the 223 gloves and switch to my 190 zoldyck legs, it's -0.5% DPS but then I can just level up my zoldyck

neat cairn
#

I can't tell you how many times I got the same belt from CN in one week

stoic needle
granite lance
#

oh yeah don't get me wrong i'm aware some weeks can just be useless

#

I'm just seeing if I can make something out of it

velvet nacelle
#

@neat cairn i've gotten the belt off mythic huntsman every kill and the past 2 weeks in the great vault

crystal blaze
#

be me > 10/10 MM rogue with full vault every week, still locked with double 220 dagger, decide to gear my ww, first vault boosting by guildmates at 185 ilvl > 226 weapon

sacred yarrow
#

Swap to zold ez

granite lance
#

0.9% is something, but lets be real here it's not huge

stoic needle
#

Um yes it is

neat cairn
#

Yeah I got the same fucking belt on mythic 3 times in one week (drop, vault, drop again) and then from the heroic cache

stoic needle
#

Most gear upgrades are less than .5%

neat cairn
#

But yeah, no, don't recraft Doomblade

#

Just make a Zoldyck's

stoic needle
#

He has both already

granite lance
#

a'ight i'll just shift over, thanks guys

neat cairn
#

Upgrade then

stoic needle
#

Just keep using your doomblade man. Forget about the gloves. Time another +12 this week m+ is easy

neat cairn
#

Go with the option you feel is best that isn't recrafting a legendary to a different slot

stoic needle
#

Zoldyck is better for m+ though especially for fortified

neat cairn
#

Because next week you might get an upgrade for that slot and you'd be like "well.. man"

stoic needle
#

Also you can upgrade gear with valor in any slot

granite lance
#

yeah, i'll just take the highest ilvl thing and roll with it

neat cairn
#

play around a bit and all that

#

Otherwise.. having a dud vault is pretty normal

flint snow
#

was there some additional buff to shadowgrasp totem ( even after 9.0.5)? It's simming as one of the top trinkets all of a sudden for me

stoic needle
#

You cld take the gloves to use with your zoldyck legs, that is valid

granite lance
#

yeah that's what i've done

balmy condor
flint snow
#

oh ok, cool thanks

strange python
#

so i got a dreadfire in my vault

neat cairn
granite lance
#

just switched over to druid, that also only got drops for the legendary slot wew

strange python
#

and i have made a mutilate macro so the muti i do in stealth procs the trinket

#

i was wondering how you guys felt about that

#

the trinket doesnt benefit from vendetta does it

neat cairn
#

hmmm

wide bolt
#

id just put it on a seperate bind and follow flag rules for it

#

"use on cd unless your only getting one more cast then line up with vendetta"

#

but idk if it benefits from vendetta so 🤷

balmy condor
neat cairn
#

If we go by the wording on Vendetta then nope

stoic needle
mossy python
#

Can we sim chest item before to chose one ?

drowsy coral
#

Hey guys, what's the reason behind EP/Subterfuge(or MA)/Vigor on Huntsman MM in the logs ? Too much energy regen which makes Blindside useless and vigor must have ?

neat cairn
#

If it's by logs and not sims then probably preference

balmy condor
wide bolt
#

so much energy means you can have EP up the whole time on huntsman if you maintain your bleeds

#

at least like 80% iirc from my best parse on that fight

balmy condor
#

when you have 2 target sustain, subterfuge and EP wins

#

that's literally just it

wide bolt
#

meaning youre almost always just doing 10% more dmg

mossy python
#

Thanks

drowsy coral
#

Mmh interesting, I would've not put subterfuge ahead of MA on two target

#

guess garotte is really sick then

wide bolt
#

yea garrote blasts

#

with subt

neat cairn
#

Garrote is great

#

Just have to hit the targets fast

frigid cipher
#

Hey, guys do you know if I can sim items with higher ilvl than I have? to basically check how the vault fares against some items I can valor upgrade?

neat cairn
#

You should be able to

wide bolt
balmy condor
#

just droptimizer

#

at 220

lean coral
#

You can use droptimizer for 220 gear

frigid cipher
#

thanks, will try 🙂

neat cairn
#

I will say I feel like myself playing rogue again

#

It just felt so baaaaad in beta

#

But glad it's doing better now

#

My guild is a little happy too

mossy python
#

I play with the 5% dmgs on envenom legendary. Is it the best for raid and mm+ ? Or zoldick or 100% crit is still better ?

lean coral
#

Wait how good is totem simming for people now o.o

balmy condor
#

zold in m+

balmy condor
lean coral
#

Fuck

#

So it's actually really good

stoic needle
#

Damn wtf

balmy condor
#

it's a fucking pain to use

#

just don't use it

drowsy coral
balmy condor
#

yes

#

you would go CT

#

sin is incredibly easy already

#

just play CT

#

it's not that scary

drowsy coral
#

Thanks Whispyr, always so helpful thanksfriend

balmy condor
stoic needle
# balmy condor just don't use it

How is it a pain? Don't you just put it down at the beginning of a pack and it switches targets when you switch and you get cdr when things die?

balmy condor
#

it only lasts 15 seconds

stoic needle
#

So maybe towards the middle then when small things start dying

balmy condor
#

yeh it's just yucky

mossy python
#

Frome hiw many target you start to use CT ?

balmy condor
#

1

mossy python
#

How many*

#

You always use CT ?

balmy condor
#

if you have CT talented, you use it single target like rupture

#

maintain out of shiv

neat cairn
#

I am super curious now how CT could sim ST for me

#

brb

mossy python
#

I use CT only on mm+ and on kaelthas

balmy condor
neat cairn
#

so is my gear

balmy condor
#

that won't help

#

CT single target isn't a thing

#

PB is just passive

#

and free

#

and doesn't cost CP

neat cairn
#

I uhhh

ebon thorn
#

zold on slg?

neat cairn
#

I had a WeakAura back in Legion that is broken now and idk how to fix it that tracked Poison Bomb (it was surprisingly super difficult to get to work but we managed it)

balmy condor
#

yeh

neat cairn
#

That played Toxic by Britney Spears

#

Best thing ever

#

LOL

#

It was my first WA because my raid was nagging me to use it and I was like "Only if someone makes me one for PB with Britney"

next junco
#

hey you probs get this all the time but what is a the ballpark of stats to aim for? i have 483 crit/872 haste is that roughly right?

neat cairn
#

only a 50 DPS difference

#

(for me, not the stat talk)

mossy python
#

Haste > crit > versa ?

balmy condor
#

I hate the X>Y>Z shit

lean coral
#

Just sim

balmy condor
#

cause it changes based on your gear

mossy python
#

Sorry x)

#

Yeah ofc

#

Sry im just starting to optimize my rogue ...

neat cairn
#

I mean Agil above all

#

but if it's just secondaries at this point

ebon thorn
#

bring back the bfa arms warrior where you stack as much haste as possible KEKW

balmy condor

Quick bit of advice , in my chest I have 213 anima spherule or stitchflesh scalpel at 226. Stupid question but I go for the higher I level even tho it has worse stats right ? Bare in mind both my weapons for sin currently need an upgrade

lean coral
#

Sim

#

But it's probably gonna be the 226 weap

next junco
#

for aoe more crit? or stay same stats?

final star
#

I was about to ask the same actually, since I've just been going haste>crit=vers>mastery for aoe

#

But I suppose mastery gains loads of value in aoe

lament dove
#

yes, at least with zoldyck

final star
#

MA crit obviously loses some value

#

But not as much as outlaw

balmy condor
#

haste drops slightly, crit mast gains

final star
#

I use MA on outlaw mastery even becomes better for me 😂

#

I'll just continue running MA with haste/vers gear that I have

#

Cba farming more mastery gear

Do you guys apply garrote when vendettea s coming up even if it has like 14s left? Or just apply it during vendetta because its still a cp builder?

tender folio
#

Guys that Toxin trink, does it scales with Zoldy ?

balmy condor

Well some do, like dreadfire vessel damage done by a fire mage is very much higher than a rogue for example

#

i ve got a question on sire mythic p3 (im using vendetta instantly on the start): is it better to shiv on cooldown and delay my 2nd Vendetta vanish to where shiv is ready again (with this option i m loosing out on hero) or do i delay my 4th shiv to pair it with vendetta-vanish and ca. 10 sek hero remaining?

balmy condor
#

you delay shiv for vend

edgy notch
#

nice thanks dude

#

if there isnt hero should i delay shiv too or shiv on cd (for another fight)?

balmy condor
#

you delay shiv by 12 seconds to sync with vend

#

hero or no hero

edgy notch
#

ok nice thanks

#

Hey guys, should i trust this sim? Out of all my thinkets shadowgrasp totem is simming the best. It's kinda weird cuz i assumed that this trinket was garbage but apparently not. Do i trust this?

guys...

#

I dont understand how you garrote 3-4 diff target

#

there's a big pause...it has a 5 sec CD

verbal mantle
#

with Subterfuge

#

talented

vestal wren
#

^

edgy dune
#

I'm using subterfuge

limber lion
#

You do it from stealth

edgy dune
#

I"m on the dummies

digital orchid
#

guys is better make secondary stats like haste > all or just goin on simm? coz crit for me simming more than haste :x

limber lion
#

You do 4 garrotes in a row from stealth

edgy dune
#

but attacking breaks stealth after the first arget

verbal mantle
#

stealth > garrote tab gar tab gar

limber lion
#

Read what Subterfuge does

vestal wren
#

you shouldn't have issues unless blizz fucked up in the update

edgy notch
edgy dune
#

ohhhh 3 seconds

limber lion
#

My boy

#

You're losing out on 2 Vendetta's at that point.

edgy notch
#

no

limber lion
#

At least Vendetta one of the adds in P2.

#

You just said that

edgy dune
#

ok so I gotta be fast...

limber lion
#

"first Vendetta on opener, second 6:51"

edgy dune
#

So I stealth...then I get 3 garrotes in...then what?

limber lion
#

Normally you'd Vendetta on opener and around 3:50 for the second add in P3

edgy notch
#

yes and then 2nd at 8:51

limber lion
edgy notch
#

i talkin about p3

limber lion
#

These are the normal Vendetta timers:
0 - 3:50 - 6:45 - 8:45

limber lion
edgy notch
#

yeah^^

limber lion
#

Because you specified earlier that you use Vendetta on opener and second one in p3

#

Alright.

dense aspen
#

He said mythic sire P3 to begin with iirc

limber lion
#

Just use Vendetta on cooldown, don't delay it.

edgy notch
#

yeah was talking about 1st and 2nd vendetta in p3

limber lion
#

Delay Shiv instead.

#

Yeh fair enough.

edgy dune
#

so guys, lets say I have 3-4 targets...I have slice n dice up, I'm stealthed....so I get 3-4 garrotes in...then whats next?

limber lion
#

On 4 targets:
gar - gar - gar - gar - ct --- Same as above, except you use FoK as your generator and not Mutilate.

edgy dune
#

ct?

limber lion
#

Crimson Tempest

edgy dune
#

oh right right

#

mulilate and not FOK?

limber lion
#

Yes. On 3 targets you use Mutilate, but on 4 targets you use FoK

edgy dune
#

ugh how do you count that so fast

#

while staying out of shit to avoid dmg

#

your first garrote is the empowered garrote?

limber lion
crude wedge
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
limber lion
#

You don't want to apply a normal garrote on top of an empowered one.

edgy dune
#

and my poisons for mythic..deadly and..numbing?

limber lion
edgy dune
#

ok so stealth...garrote 4 targets...FOT...do I wait until I have full combos to let CT go?

limber lion
#

You use CT when you have 4 or 5 combo points with Vigor/MFD and only 5-6 with DS.

edgy dune
#

yah I'm at the dummies with 3 in Adrenweald

north basin
#

Is there any weakaura or addon which count time stamps and notify me with sound, like when - its 3.20 minute mark, time to vendetta

edgy dune
#

I need more dummies

balmy condor
limber lion
#

It'll be a lot different when you start adding moving mobs, mechanics etc. to it

north basin
#

It doesnt mean i will press vendetta, it will just help me with general timings of fight, i think

final star
#

@north basin can get a simple timer and then add conditions to play sound after x time has passed

limber lion
#

Also addons.

north basin
#

Have names of auras and addon?

limber lion
#

But after you get comfortable with the fight, you pretty much learn where you Vendetta without having to look at the timer.

#

@limber lion have you been trying more MA NS shenanigans

limber lion
final star
#

I found myself doing more as assassination this week

#

So defo gonna be swapping between for tyrannical/fortified

compact pumice
#

Does the APL sim correctly for MA NS in DSlice? Or even 5x Patchwerks

compact pumice
#

So how about anecdotally?

#

Does more dps overall that way or just more fun or what?

final star
#

It is roughly equal in my experience

#

In actual practice

limber lion
#

It's hard to say yet.

#

But it seems to work pretty well

#

I did a DoS 15 and did 7.5k overall and a HoA 16 and did 7k overall with it

final star
#

I did 6.5k overall in a 15 mists, but that's at 221

manic igloo
#

so Theotar or Nadjia for m+?

limber lion
#

Yeah, the sim uses MFD pre-pull on SnD even on 5 targets but you'd want to use MFD CT as your opener.

final star
#

Yeah it's undersimming for sure

limber lion
manic igloo
#

ok so lashing scars as the only potency?

limber lion
#

Yeah the sim doesn't really know how to play with MA + NS/MFD

limber lion
final star
#

With a fire mage, assassination rogue and an mm hunter

The first pack after pride got annihilated

runic sequoia
#

Hey fellow assassins, I got a question, kinda stuck, Which legendary would you recommend to upgrade first? Doomblade or Zoldyks?

#

I both raid and m+

burnt latch
#

If u spend more time and care more about m+ go for zold if u raid more and care more about raid go for doomblade

final star
#

I use MA in m+ so I'd personally do doomblade

burnt latch
#

Doom is not horrible for m+ and zolds is not horrible for raid so u cant really go wrong with either

final star
#

It's a personal preference choice

burnt latch
#

Idd

runic sequoia
#

Aight, thanks for the answers 🙂

Is it ok that sudden fractures sim better than any other potency as heirmir with gemstones?

oblique tulip

hey, can you cloak massacre on sire ? as far as i know its physical dmg ? but i have seen rogues use cloak and take 0 dmg during 3rd soaks on mythic

limber lion
oblique tulip
#

i am mostly trying to understand how to play overlap where melee usually immune and bait massacre while standing in shit

gloomy fern
#

you cant cloak massacre sire p3

#

it oneshots u

limber lion
#

Like I said, it's very 🍝

gloomy fern
#

i dont believe

#

no trust

limber lion
#

Could be that it's the first second of cloak

#

Where you have "a brief immunity"

#

Koji linked a few logs here where people did it.

gloomy fern
#

well its easy to dodge

limber lion
gloomy fern
#

use ur cloak for blood price 1 + 3 to help ur healers imo

#

tanks get slapped p3

queen breach
#

if i get from world boss some memory the next memory have lower chance?

gloomy fern
#

memories are 100% droprate except from mythic dungeons but that got reworked so maybe that is also 100% now not sure

queen breach
#

so if im lf doomblade its not reduce my chance for him?

gloomy fern
#

doomblade is 100% droprate if u finish mortegar thorgast

queen breach
#

thnx man

gloomy fern
#

if that wing isnt up now u can play first 6 floors in twisting corridors

#

reset it until mortegar comes

compact pumice

You can also spend some Grateful Offerings to get legendaries you don’t have

raven granite
#

I play outlaw in M+(celerity) and sin in pvp/raids (doomblade). Which leggo should I get next?

limber lion
#

MA, bis for Outlaw in M+ and very good for Assa

raven granite
#

I was thinking either MA, DS or the one with the vanish cd for pvp. But MA could be awesome for outlaw with the RB.

royal lantern
#

@stoic needle 7th week in a row anima btw 🙂

#

fuck me

#

who needs 223 weapons anyway

gloomy fern
#

why would you want a 223 wep

hexed mesa
#

Do you guys use that sequence addon or whatever for ambush/CT or do you just move the spells back and forth depending on what you're using like I am doing lol

gloomy fern
#

what

royal lantern
gloomy fern
#

why would u not aim for a 226 at least

#

why settle for less

royal lantern
#

i always mix up 226 and 223

#

smh

#

im a big dumb dumb, just ask whispr lmao

balmy condor
#

don't drag me into your mess

Sin with MA has to use MfD right?

limber lion
grim tree
#

Zoldyck is good legendary for m+?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

MA and Zold are the 2 main choices

grim tree
#

Ok

#

Stats biss for m+? Haste crit?

frosty cedar
#

Haste lowest for Apr araik

#

Afaik

#

Crit highest

prisma perch
#

So I need help

balmy condor
#

haste crit is good

prisma perch
#

I have the BiS legs in vault on 226 and the signet 207 with socket

balmy condor
#

mastery is decent as well

balmy condor
prisma perch
balmy condor
#

also if you choose the ring

#

probably really wrong

#

but what sims highest

prisma perch
#

cant compare since its 207

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

huh?

#

just top gear it

prisma perch
#

I am simming but I mean the ilv diff is huge

balmy condor
#

yeah

prisma perch
#

I would naturally up the ring to 220

balmy condor
#

which is why the ring probably sucks

#

that's not even a good ring

prisma perch
#

but I cant sim the sim on max ilv

balmy condor
#

so

#

gear compare

#

or droptimizer

strange python
#

Where is the current best sim opener listed

#

Sorry I’m struggling finding it

balmy condor
#

I guess you could just sim yourself in a quick sim and use that

#

but I would just stop worrying about openers

strange python
#

I do not understand this

#

There has to be a general theory on best usage of abilities to get everything up and cds used in the most efficient way

gusty mirage

IV and Wowhead ones are good

balmy condor

That’s the theory

Ok I’ll read through those

Idk if the RH has been updated yet, afaik weak was having issues logging into the site a while back

balmy condor

Nah he can get back in

gusty mirage
#

There ya go, any of those peepohappy

mossy crown
#

Am I right in thinking stat prio is same for both ST and M+?

balmy condor
#

Similar yeh

#

Mastery/crit gains a little

#

Haste loses a Little

prisma perch
#

its so fckd up my 221 dh sims only 200dps more than my 210 assa lmao

mossy crown
#

ok, just been running sims and couldn't really understand why for dungeoncleave is was suggestion 27% crit, 20% haste, 22% mastery. makes sense now I guess

Oh man, did blizzard remove the ability to play with the dreadblades on daggers? I logged in and my dagger's transmog was reset to original

what stats do u recommend?

balmy condor
#

Haste crit

gusty mirage
#

Crit haste probably

balmy condor
#

Aight so a 220 of that ring is 100ish dps

#

How much did the legs sim for

drowsy coral
#

Should CT be at 100% uptime on 2 target cleave ? This must've been answered somewhere but i can't find it

clever vapor
#

Do you drop CT on 1 target? A couple of days ago some people were talking how it should be used even on 1 target.

gusty mirage
#

If you’re talented into it, you use CT outside shiv windows

mossy crown
#

dungeonslice is best for m+ yeah?

gusty mirage
#

Yes

drowsy coral
#

So theoritically, on huntsman you garott both in the open, normal opener on Huntsman, then rupture CT maintained on both right ?

balmy condor
#

100 > 80, so if you’re gonna upgrade that ring, take the ring

prisma perch
#

i simmed the ring at 226

balmy condor
#

Why

#

You don’t have the ring at 226

prisma perch
#

couldnt get it low wait i try

wow this is the rogue who got a mage and boomie doing 10k dps with him in dungs spamming ct in 6 second windows for burst

My guildie is currently playing a balance Druid and constantly likes to banter with me and the guild that he’s top dps. Well I wanna put an end to that. What class do you suggest I switch to secretly to beat him in dps throughout castle nathria? Any insight is great.

TL:DR... help me beat the shit out of a chicken.

they sim same so would the ring be better ?

@prisma perch im curious, yesterday u said packs died in 6s while doing +14 keys and u have done 3 and barely 2 in time

u dont barely time keys then

so i dont think u have a great understanding of time

how are u barely timing keys then

Why does it have the ilevel twice?

why does doomblade go on hands

gusty mirage

Cuz slg shoulders on mythic are 233

alpine garden

Because SLG shoulders

limber lion
#

Or have a chance at them

gusty mirage
#

So option at 233 shoulders > max non leggo gloves = 226

severe citrus
#

hmm

#

i see

gusty mirage

If you don’t mythic raid or don’t think you’ll kill SLG, craft them in your lowest ilvl slot

limber lion

Just use whichever is a bigger upgrade for you.

balmy condor

Not any more silly than you do right now telling me you’d rather waste ash

tbh so did I monkaW got 225 vers/mastery for pvp and 235 haste/vers for outlol/sin

ebon thorn

they already do cuz of my name haha

Just delete all evidence

i dont do torghast

every week

I had a badly statted MA ring, you know what I did? I stopped using MA like a pleb and went for big Zoldyck damage

STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE SECONDARIES ON A SINGLE ITEM PLEASE I BEG YOU I ONLY HAVE SO MANY BRAIN CELLS LEFT

@balmy condor do i go mastery or haste

alpine garden
#

But whispyr there comes a point in every expansion when that's all we have left

gusty mirage

Then recrafting the same leggo is even more confusing if you’re not sitting on a ton of ash

buuuut buuuuuut we if i swap 50 mastery with 50 haste i'll surely top the meters peophammer

You should see how many sin rogues in pvp discord are in love with dotting and vanishing for crit dots

#

Drives me nuts

lean coral
#

#

They also love that

We stay in the safety of the light

strange python
#

It’s a real dark place to be sure

#

I shine as much light as I can

@balmy condor should i wear the MA lego, and after put up garrote, rupture, vanish and then sit there and wait for things to tick?

strange python
#

These guys like hey I’m 190 ilvl rogue why can’t I one shot with rotten like evis

balmy condor
#

I only go in there when I see shit hit the filter over and over

#

Or someone DM’s me like “hey dad pick me up all the kids at the birthday party are really mean”

strange python
#

Lol

balmy condor
#

And then I stumble into that god forsaken channel

strange python
#

It’s not bad most of the time tbh

balmy condor
#

And it’s just a shit show of 4 year olds screaming at each other

strange python
#

But when it gets bad it goes to hell in a hand basket

strange python
#

Just say yes

balmy condor
#

There’s enough screenshots of me saying dumb shit

strange python
#

It’s what I do when some kid in pvp discord asks if they should use the rotten to 2k as a 175 ilvl rogue

#

Yep

#

I’m pretty sure @gusty mirage just has a folder

#

Math is an illusion

balmy condor
#

It’s true

#

Numbers aren’t real

#

Math is a social construct

balmy condor
#

Technically true

strange python
#

I actually read an article about that

#

Something something hierarchy something social construct something no objective truth and to close 2+2=4 is aiding the wealthy ruling class to subjugate

#

Idk

raven granite
#

Is this channel a low key math theory or functional programming channel?

strange python
#

I got dumber

#

No we only do high keys in this channel

#

Gotem!

strange python
#

Im@pretty sure all of wow is a crash course in applied mathematics

balmy condor
#

Feels more like sheep herding 101

#

Or a daycare center
