@balmy condor i can see lust first pillar in heroic
no you can't
but in mythic its just trolling
you can't see that
well if you get 3pillar
then what
2 minute cooldowns on pillar 1/3
3 min on pull 3
lust pillar 1 is still fucking troll
some rls have a weird boner for fucking up their players cooldownns
I can't see how that won't lead to problems lol
"hey guys let's lust p1 just to see the whole fight! then when we have to lust at the right time we won't know what to do because we're so used to lusting p1"
lusting anything other than last pillar, on any difficulty, is trolling your group
this is true
there's not much else to see on sludge
if you get to the first pillar you've seen the entire fight
lol
but what about the timings man
the ones that are exactly the same
for each pillar
tru
please tell me you guys are doing heroic and doing 3 pillars
on heroic we lust on pull but thats cuz poor sludge dies by the time he runs into the third
er first pillar
<.<
not unless I fuck it first 
This convo is worth having
uh huh
yup
apparently
lol
I almost gave in and reinstalled path
plot twist his guild was looking at heroic logs for mythic prog
that would make sense
idk, lust on sludge is one of those things that makes me really fucking mad
TBF, most people's mythic logs are fucked at higher progressions I feel like
cause like there's nothing skill based about it or anyhting
no one plays differently
you just have to say "lust"
at a different pillar
Cus who does reclears (assuming u arent ce yet)
that's all you have to do
and you just troll the lust
for no reason
and then you're like "hey you're trolling the lust"
nO iM nOt
lOoK lOgS
mE lUsT oN PiLlAr oNe

it's not even some weird logic like mut vs ambush from opener that isn't obvious at first glance
it's just "do I lust with half my cooldowns? Or do I lust with all my cooldowns"
infuriating
i wonder if there's ever some sort of weird stat balance where MP or EP is ahead of blindside
EP vigor is ahead on sludge
so you literally just take ambush off your bar entirely
MP is trash though
Blindside/deeper sims best for most people right now
specifically for sludge though because of burst windows
during beta sims there was actually hope for MP beating out EP/BS at the end of this tier with a bit of mastery
but then they nuked lethal poisons
so MP went back into the dumpster
what was the .5 buffs for assa that made it so good?
cttc was good, venthyr was good
oh right they brought back cttc
I think we could use another 5% tbh 
I would say 9.0.5 was just the straw that broke the balances back
from the start of the expac to now, sin has received about 25% worth of buffs
what a great time to reroll
Look at that scaling
made a rogue at the start of .5, had to basically stick my head in a guillotine for my gl/rl to let me swap
"why no fire mage"
ye no literally that i wanted to swap from fire mage to assa
havoc gonna get buff trust
partly because the guild already had a mage and i enjoy rogue a lot it's just not had good showing all expac
until now
is Assassination the best rouge spec ?
it's the best melee in general rn in nathria i think
i have a outlaw rouge but i am never near the top dps
yeah
according to recent sims it's the highest performing melee
oh so maybe i should play Assassination rouge
yeah it sims highest for sure
tfw 220 havoc sims lower than 202 sin
btw can anyone check my logs real quick? swapped to sin this week and I've been wondering what i'm doing wrong
here, for example
sure, 90 ilvl parse but how do i get to that sweet 95+?
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.
better uptime on dots aswell
yea that's me being dumb
so let's say i'm opening from stealth
i meant logs lol not sims
mutilate SnD mutilate
main things are always "are you using ambush? stop doing that. Are you shivving on cooldown? probably should." Flag before a finisher, vend/vanish together, don't overcap, maintain everything
do those things
and you're slamming
pretty much
you'd go mutilate -> slice -> garrote -> mut -> mut -> rupture -> vendetta -> build -> flag -> finishers?
no
i assume you always shiv on cd regardless of cp/energy
you're missing a global of MA doing that garrote
unless it'll overcap
you mut slice mut garrote
hmmmm
mut snd mut garrote flag rup slam
alright, alright, sounds good
you're gonna be empty gcd for like a second after the garrote but it's worth for the MA mut
i didnt realize how important it is to keep SND up over everything. I started doing that and did a lot better
don't have to though, probably lose a miniscule amount of dmg doing that
yeah no snd is like 7-8% dmg loss
melee is a very large portion of our dmg
thanks for the tips everyone โค๏ธ
should be more than that
7-8% seems low
poison applications also go down quite a bit
idk i just cut melee % in half
i did forget about the poisons
so yeah prolly more like 15%
12%
11%
DP procs are ~ 10-12%, melee is around 15%
DP dot wouldn't change
don't think it would affect anything else
some trinkets i guess
wow
wow
interesting
7-8% was spot on lol
Poggers
7.5 is still a lot of damage
I would've thought it would've been more
yeah
aight autos are 756/322 vs 502/215
dps wise
so it is 50% more

yeh idk
yeah poisons are all just chance
Do you guys feel venth is significantly better than necro?
some of that is obviously mutilate
no, venth is only bis single target
yeah. idk, weird.
regardless, bad thing to do! put it up once and forget about it unless you find a boss with a minute long intermission
Ty friend, does necro become better at 2+
The melee hits

but yeah i guess like 4th worst mistake you can make
#1 is no poisons
#2 and 3 are not using rup/garr
or be like me and desynch vanish and vendetta on sludge cuz i fat fingered and thought i pressed vanish just to notice 5 sec later i did indeed not press it
me the day I swapped to sin: "oh shit forgot to poison before the fight" - 4 bosses deep into the raid
me playing sub in nya in prepatch
Weak auras as your friends
because i hadn't changed my WA yet
yea haven't had a problem after getting auras
had 1 night (while having a WA for it) forgetting it anyway cuz i was busy shittalking
shittalking is important tho
yup very fuck hungering anyway
not as bad as the other rogue in our guild, on Denathrius this week he forgot to swap his weps away from outlaw so like 10 sec into pull he noticed that he had a sword in mainhand
i also did that on prepatch when i finally went to try new outlaw, couldn't dispatch and was confused af
surprise, gearsets were deleted
prepatches are great memes
ye was fun content when people finally see the changes made to their class
hey guys is nerolord going to be the next best covenant for sin?
not really the question to ask after 1 ptr build
fair enough people been posting about this pass week
Has anyone gotten the mount in Plaguefall?
it looks good but there's not gonna be data on anything for a while, at least until it gets close to release. but if it's like live rn it's not gonna be a big difference between them
i know of a few people, have only seen one video though. and he was sub. https://youtu.be/yWhZWC6nmsM
Hello, I solo'd the 3rd and 4th Plaguefall bosses on my Rogue. Hope this helps someone out here!
Thanks
hey guys, in keys, 15+, if you have a pull of 6-7-8 mobs, you can't really maintain dots on all of them so we have to prioritize, after the initial sub garrote and CT applied on the adds, do we prioritize getting ruptures up on 2-3 before we have to refresh gar/CT? Looking at various videos, some people ignore gar. after initial application and just focus on ruptures, some people ignore ruptures and just do CT spam. So.....what do we focus on keeping up in such a pack if the fight lasts for a while.
Definitely don't ct spam
Don't ignore gar either
Get up as many gar and rup as you can
Fok+gar > rup > tab > repeat
so let CT fall off you reckon? I mean at 7-8 targets on 40-60 sec fight, hard to keep it all up, near impossible ๐
Necro is so sick because you can sbs > rup x3
yeah fair
No you don't let ct fall off, you refresh it in pandemic
Ct is priority over new ruptures ofc
and rupture priority over gar?
Well garotte is a builder
So not really
Press garotte on cooldown basically
You can only get up 3 at a time without vanishing to do more subterfuge ones because of the cd
I found that when you sbs you can get tab rupture nicely with the combo points you get especially in lower health mobs
The boy 
too bad you cant macro rupture and sbs (wish it was off gcd) lol
Yeah man, sbs is so fucking nice for m+
You could do a cast sequence
It wouldn't be terrible
Or like a modifier
But I have sbs and rup on mouseovers, it works well enough
Sbs macro with other abilities is clunky. Its nice to have the on demand CP for a saves the day KS if someone fucks interrupts up
Quick rupture for energy. Etc
when someone fucks interrupts up*
it's not an if statement sir
it's a when
played with mages that literally won't interrupt
"its a dps loss"

just tricks the mage
pretty sure using other defensives are a bigger dps loss for them.
i mean it is a dps loss
so's dying
sure, if the mage is telling you they can't kick they're trolling
but if they're asking to not kick early to optimize their legendary then it's a legit reason
managed to time another dos with 4 seconds left everyone kept on "dpsing down" all the spitefuls lol
@stoic needle Everyime I set up a cast sequence at some point for whatever reason it gets stuck and becomes unreliable
you need to add reset=x at the end of the macro, where reset is a few seconds or number of presses etc
ill give it a shot
what do you do mostly? raids? pvp? m+? Master Assasin is a good all around one
^
if you plan on just raiding, doomblade
zoldyk if you plan on raiding and M+, MA if you plan on doing it all
bUt WhAt AbOuT dEaThLy ShAdOwS?
man I wish I had the copypasta for deathly sitting around
i have it but i don't want to spread it around in spec channels
whispyr has enough to deal with 
My goal is to finely walk the line of Whispyr wanting to strangle me and still kinda liking having me around
Sorry, stepped away for a bit. I plan on doing both M+ and raiding. Not like crazy high keys, mostly raiding
So Zoldyck on legs for my first?
zold on legs is good for both then
Craft Doomblade afterwards I guess then?
Sick, thanks for the help!
so you'll be set on raid leggos aswell
Oh my guild is done on sire prog lmao
We were stuck on heroic sire for over a month
not noticably
Alrighty, so still focus on haste / crit?
yep
are you feeling okay? not stanning mastery hard anymore?
@balmy condor i want a soul ash refund, you told me to craft my legendaries with haste/vers and now vers is my worst stat 
dishonest CFs
whispyr might stab you
mastery stacking is only for advanced sin users
and I'm all for it
WRECKED

but my zoldyck isnt haste/vers for pvp 
idk man probably delete my character tbh
tbh same
whispyr stonks rising
i don't believe your lies
๐
finality refund when
you'll be glad you have it when sub gets buffed on tuesday 
that's how long ago I gave up on sub
OKKKKKK THIS SIM IS OBVIOUSLY DOCTORED IN SOME WAY
how did sub get buffed
whyspr what have you done to raidbots
Atleast u don't have both finality and a max rank akaari sitting in ur bags like me 

it didn't
osh is having a midlife crisis rn

i don't understand how vers is my lowest weighted stat and yet changing to crit/haste is a dps loss for both of my leggos in ST and dslice
cuz stat weights is useless
what food buff do you use when simming stat weights?
why would you sim stat weights
for shiggles
for fun
Any pawn users in chat? 
Pawn is omegalul
nah like i literally just simmed it because i was bored and curious
then you try to rely on stat weights for legendary stat optimization?
the only pawn here is oshosi with his manstery
cmon bro
GOT EM
you're taking this way too seriously
no u
clown me all you want, when mastery is bis in 10.0 you all will come crawling at my feet
I remember when mastery was bis...but that was back in legion lol
When PB proccs determined if you where a good player or not
Lmao
how does this picture make you feel
this reminds me of season 3 in BFA when my tank was like "Why don't you run like 70% mastery and master poisoner?" and my response was "Why don't you learn how to not turn your back to the boss and I'll consider your suggestion"
Iirc exsang was poggers on mythic fetid. Rip exsang
if i didn't lose 5 ilvl to get that much mastery i'd run that in M+
i do this instead
i want more crit less haste but it's hard
utility poggers
maybe that's why he wanted me playing MP, cuz he didn't know the basics of tanking
300 iq play on his end
was he really that bad
he crumbled on anything above a 15
lol
so he wasn't terrible, because a 15 was pretty good in s3


do you intentionally have that much mastery
yes yes he does
Mastery isnโt bad in m+
osho is a trendsetter
But those stats are fire for raid
you're goddamn right i intentionally have that much mastery
anyone else running 20%+ vers because most of their gear came from PvP? 
n 
i did at first
ive replaced most of that gear
i'm replacing my last piece of pvp gear as soon as the price on boe bracers drops
i'm down to like 16% vers now
then again i never bothered to get higher than 220 pvp stuff
don't shame me 
thank god i dont have to do that next tier 
vault keeps giving me haste mastery 
i feel like a big dummy for turning down that chest 2x in a row
233 gear from vault 
low key might just grind out pvp because I'm getting bored of pve try for 2400
I remember i hit 200% mast in legion felt like a god
Use Ambush with the proc from Blindside (if talented). Due to Mutilate having two chances to crit and proc poisons, this is usually not worth the energy when not free.
so does this mean i shouldnt use it during execute phase? just when it procs
just for clarification
You never use ambush except if you have a proc
I run ma for m+. I got it on ring. Is that bad call? Would it be better in other slot
The difference in legendary slots is usually quite irrelevant
Ring/bracers, like the case for ma, is actually one of the most irrelevant
Ok thanks. Ive had discussions before about legendary placements but at the same time those I spoke to where just. Idk. Rectums? Yea. Rectums.
Even in the case of zoldyck, where itโs legs > boots
Itโs like 0.6-0.7% in the best situation
Our other legendary of choice, doomblade, is shoulder/hands, and those actually have identical stats
its typically easier to gett other items other then ring so thats the reason i think to go ring
espeacially since the Ilvl > secondarys does not apply
I should always pull energy before envenom on ST then right? Those are the other two things i just wanna be sure I am certain on
Not always
If you have a damage buff up you just slam
vendetta, shiv, sludge pillars etc
but pool otherwise before envenom
???
??????
I have no clue what any of that is supposed to mean
translate time
Harder to get ring with right stats, and no main stat on ring not sure tho im kinda lost aswell

dis
xD
stats are usually in favor of itemlevel > secondary.
Its different for slots with no main stat
Yeah, a 213 ring will most likely not be better than a 226 ring.
Even with the Sire ring giving mastery, it's still our best ring because of how high ilvl it is.
funny after doing 24 DOS (still no IQD) how you begin to know every single mob's shit pretty well lol. It's also funny watching the random various pugs eat mechanics and die in funny "new" ways ๐
Dw there is hope it took me 35 PF runs to get the phial
But that's a great thing, once you step into high keys and DoS specifically, you'll know every mechanic by heart.
Even if it's boring, it's still great practice in case you want to do high keys at some point.
Yep so true
I guess I can forgive the tanks for the trash packs but some of them pulling bosses with spiteful mobs up and making me either not have an opener or waste a vanish/meld ugh
I am also going up reknown too at 27 now since I respeced 2 days ago
Up to about 5k valor also i think
if I do get it might wait to upgrade until after reset though in case i get a high one in my vault lol would be a blizzard classic to do 25 upgrade it using all your valor and then getting one lol
Good stuff
why pooling before evenom (assuming no dmg buff)?
Because it allows you to spend energy where it's needed more, ie. during Shiv windows.
Mutilate applying poisons is generally good
You don't lose anything from pooling, as long as you don't let your energy cap.
But what do you gain? Aside from when shiv is coming up so you want to maximize the dmg window
You have energy to use for Shiv/Flag/Vendetta windows.
Nothing apparently
Is this referring to my question?
What do you think you gain from starving yourself of energy?
If yes, I didn't understand
Why would you starve yourself of energy?
Mutilate applies poisons, yea?
by 30%
I completely agree
There you go then.
how long is the evenom 30% buff?
If you use Envenom at 40 energy, how much energy do you have left to Mutilate?
1 + cp spent
ok, makes much more sense now
you save energy so you can maximize the # of mutilate during evenom buff
I mean, itโs one of the reasons
That's one of many reasons.
Itโs not close to the main reason, that being pooling into cooldowns
i mean u can get ez 99 without pooling its just some minmax relax
okay i guess should you always wait until 80% before envenom even after shiving
No
No
During Shiv you spam
Is it pin time
so spam during shiv, pool out of shiv
This question comes up way too often


yes but my question was referring when u have no dmg buff and no cds upcoming
it makes sense to pool into cds
I don't see any particular section talking about pooling in pins
maybe thats your issue
Thatโs the problem
Might be time to add one
Whispyr will add one
probably
I would say so the guides are actually kinda shittly done as far as clarity
Since we talk about this 50 dps min max
There's 3 guides
Over and over and over and over and over and over
And they're all very in-depth
badly formatted too
But they might still be lacking some things.

i don't think you mean clarity but hand holding
well it's a guide
They have so much information and sections for everything you would ever need
I guess the goal is to hand hold
all guides try to do some hand holding but require some sort of proactivity
I dont like icy veins i read wowhead
we have no guide that is to the point that removes the entire thinking process from the reader
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
But you said
"the guides are shitty"
Referring to more than just WoWhead
Also, the WH is just fine
well a lot of youtube videos too

Some people also struggle with the concept of NOT finishing with full combo points and instead max-1
Honestly fuu did you write that guide
People being intentionally obtuse thinking they are hilarious.
you seem kinda salty honestly
lol
people would rather have sequences to follow, and things split up in every individual part. But also not to complex
its why opener discussions are so popular
it gives people a very strict thing to follow
I would rather understand why something is done
but yet a lot of people blindly follow their sequence when the opener is dynamic
but thats the point, not everyone has this incentive. A lot of people want easy to digest information that provides results without a lot of effort/thinking
what is a fair critique
My point is people got all butt hurt because I was just trying to ensure I understood something and was not getting it wrong. Feels like LoL in discords lately lol
oh, i think most people are fine if you ask back if you understood something right
"so, pandemic is 30% of the duration of the buff i apply?"
You going from "so pool during Shiv?" to "The guides are shitty and so bad" is on you.
would likely end up in a "yes" as a answer
Not on the discord.
Iโm sorta failing to understand whoโs butthurt and why youโre feeling attacked tbh
Why do you care, what my opinions
Because Iโm wondering what happened in the two minutes I was gone
Huh
Mata answered though, and confirmed your question
i think people are just curios why do you think so bad about the guides
Why are we mad
Wowhead one is mostly formatting and maybe not going into a tad more detail on little things.

or rather, what do you think could improve them, overall some of us are in contact with the guide writers and could pass on feedback if its reasonable
The formatting makes this a nightmare to read. There is practically no formatting, no attempt to make things easier to read. It seems to me the writer was just writing it to get it done because he had to. There are some issues with the icy-vein one but very minor. The icy-vein one is just has a better format to it and seemingly more information. Honestly I stopped reading icy-veins cuz some of the stuff seemingly wasnt up to date early on but seems like thats been addressed.
yeah it's a huge wall of text but how would you attempt to format a priority-based list of cooldown abilities? idk if theres anything that would make it easier to digest, atleast, not that i could think of rn
it's also diluted alot by covenant and soulbind stuff that doesn't necessarily matter for your char
Icy vein did a good job its like a nice layered cake, very simple basic information at the top getting more complex as you go lower.
Giving basically the abilities in priorty for single and multiple target with brief notes, good for people who know what the other mechanics are but wanna know the priority.
below that it gives deeper information
Theyre both written by very trusted people so
Whatever you think is easier to digest works
i mean i trust my friends but I don't think I would let htem operate on me
being a trusted person and being able to write a guide is not the same honestly
I am not sure if your complain simply comes from the fact that a lot of details are stated
Your friends arent also licensed surgeons im sure, Seli and wEak are some of the best sin rogues and know what theyre talking about, theyve put in many hours of TCโing to deduct reasoning, its within the consumer to gauge if they would like to take the advice though
honestly don't care if they are good rogues man, its the formatting
mystler does wowhead
wowhead
i think your complain is more about details
e.g. reducing this line like this:
Sin rogue
is the only one i have seen that bad
some could use a little more advanced info
but nothing that ever made me cringe
but i don't think details are bad
i mean if i compare the rotation guide you have a lot less detail on iv
but you say wowhead is worse
but lacks details
Sure considering wowhead is 80% just what abilities do
let me list you all the things you can read in game
some people need that i get it
but
probably could be its own page but thats a different argument
Yo im forgetful, if youve done all of torghast on one character, is that account wide?
can i do layer 8 insta on fresh char
Ya
ya
ait tyty
i am sorry, i don't understand
i don't see " list you all the things you can read in game" on the linked rotation picture
Let me put it this way if there was the best book in the world and I removed all the spaces between paragraphs so it was just one big block
you would mind evaluating with a example?
that's how the guide format is given, it's not the writer personally deciding to do that
Well i was just saying most of the content is that stuff
that stuff is actually well formated
lol
okay, thats fair but the headline of that section does say more or less "look at the basics"
so its basically:
- rotation
- basics
- further reading material
so your complain is that they didn't split out basics?
I agree the rotation section itself is very dense, but the information in it is good
Look at icy vein that is well formated mostly, they have the simple stuff, and progress to medium stuff then more advanced stuff
but I am biased too
like a cake
you come in you just wanna know the rotation? its right there, need to know a bit more info? then its right past that with out confusing whatt you need to do to begin with
further down is advanced things like pooling energy and why you wanna pool it
or pandemic and how it works
so your complaint is that it goes adv > easy > med instead of easy > med > adv?
i mean iv does not cover covenants and alternative talents
at all
in the rotation segement
so yes, its easier to read
I think that's a bit harsh but I get where you're coming from
but its rly just, that iv goes less into details:
well its late im tired and i feel like people don't know what readability or formatting is
iv says:
- maintain snd
wowhead says: - maintain snd under this conditions
-.-
Do i need to link you information about formatting
its not the data that is there thats the issue
its how easy it is to read and comprhend
im sorry but its a guide to a class in a game and not a court document
but both use a list, so the formating is rather similar
no oen cares stealthi lol
they've already got feedback that that page's readability could be improved so there's not much point in reiterating it
one list just looks nicer because it has less information
You're complaining about how someone wrote a free, in depth guide to play a class in a video game...bruh
Clearly you do
why i thought the guide was bad
I think the feedback itself is fine, it's just a bit harshly worded
I don't think formatting makes the info in a guide worthless
sea, we just discuss the "why"
Ah
also both wowhead and iv authors get directly or indirectly paied
yeah I assume free meant the guide is free to read
but thats not the discussion
Yeah free to read
you def get paid for that sorta work
I would be mad if i was wowhead but to be fair they have people who work in a field that should know how to format
so they should of helped with that
he gave the info they should of been able to make it more readable most people are not going to understand how to format a webpage
So on that aspect its not his fault
or her
bolas
I just think itโs important to note that โreadabilityโ has a lot to do with personal preference and what target group you have.
yes
are you lost
no
this isnt the ret discord
implying i actually main ret
its like i said
if you can remove all the spaces from paragraphs in a full book
and read it all the way through
that will give you an idea how important readability is
there are reasons why there are standards for that sorta thing
Maybe one standard isnt as good as another for osme people i suppose that could be argued
okay, what exactly do you mean with formating
White space? Or sentence structure
as again, it doesen't seem like its the way information is presented
formating is a way of arranging text to allow ease of readability
because, if you remove information (details) from wowhead it looks very similar to icy vains
^ like this
that is one way to format
But honestly. I think you are putting to high demands on a guide for a game.
Why wouldnt you have high expectations from things in lie you only get one life mate.
yes, but you do say icy vains does it better
You get what you pay for? ๐
they know the formatting could use some work, it'll get worked on eventually, this stuff takes time to work on
if its short information
I donโt expect the same readability or format from the kids book I get at McDonaldโs as I do from the kids book I buy at the bookstore for 30 $
Also, can't remember looking at that guide since I got back into WoW back in WoD. At a certain early point you stop looking at it and instead read logs to improve
okay, so my initial thought was right that the main issue is how much details are presented
what is a fair point
but
wowhead has the "starter guide" section for that
that presents information the way you look for
Okay, honestly i gota go to bed i have spent a CRAZY amount of time debating a issue that really didnt need to be debated this long. Guides are nice because good ones can give you insight on why people are doing what they do in logs
Knowing you should do something is not the same as knowing why you do it
If I know why they arguably you can adapt or change depending upon a situation
Knowing why is very complex. Not really good info to fit in a guide where people just wanna learn what buttons to push
I feel thats super wrong
but i don't have time to debate
anyway something i found on web to be fair I dunno if it covers what I was refering to
Readability is one of the more important aspects of Web design usability. Readable text affects how users process the information in the content. Poor readability scares readers away from the content. On the other hand, done correctly, readability allows users to efficiently read and take in the information in the text. You want users to be ...
but maybe let you snow ball into other aspects of formating
Canโt wait to see your new and improved sin guide!

That's horribly formatted.
โI donโt have time to debateโ says person who starts initial debate..
its kinda ironic that the readability of the article of readability is not great ^^
yup
i should read the morning convo's more often in here
Seems more like he's critiquing wowheads site, not the guide as much
seems more like someone is trying to make a point where there is no point for the sake of making a point
From what I understood he just didn't enjoy the way the information was presented to him
i can understand that. only thing is i spent most of that conversation going through other wowhead guides and they all looked very similar in layout
so idk
i did try
Maybe some sparkles and shiny stars around the page would help
there is a rotation tool that is used on some other guides, it'll prob get added to the rogue ones at some point and help that a bit
I mean, there are def. areas wowhead could improve in readability/stucture
of course, he just said specifically the sin rogue one was bad in comparison to the others
but the article mentions most very obviouse issues, and i don't see them strike out to me on wowhead to much
and i don't see much difference outside the rotation tool bolas mentioned
it's pretty much just that, it reduces some of the clutter from irrelevant talents or covenant abilities
ye alot of clutter in every guide tbh thanks to covenants
i think thats a consequence of the layout of the guide
with the condensed information in the "starter guide"
and the more detailed part in the "rotation" section
so, if you skip to the "rotation" immidiatly you are presented with a lot more than you want
this thing
I mean their name is literally "hater" pretty sure they were gonna complain no matter what was presented to them.
i feel like im doin soemthing wrong in M+, with full single target build i can pump maybe 3.8k on my rogue ( https://raider.io/characters/eu/draenor/Wraithfreak ) but if i switch to M+ aoe build i barely scratch 3k even in AoE my dps is lower somehow, any tips on priority CP spenders?
Well first of all, you never go full ST in M+.
usually would be a gameplay issue
not maintaining CT enough
not multidotting enough
not using cooldowns on cooldown
yes, thats my point, i do more dmg overall in ST talents, in AOE fights, than with AOE talents
that sort of thing
What talents/gear are you using for your AoE set?
that's impossible
Because that's not a thing
i use the wowhead recommended talents, CT, and elaborate
then there's no way your aoe would be worse
unless you're just not using the abilities you talented into
if i go full st and just spam garrotes and ruptures and hope for PBs i usually do alot better than spending points on CT
In AOE you just put garrote/rupture on everything, keep CT up at all times
And that's pretty much it
You don't spam CT
you maintain CT like a dot
That's not really considered "full st" if you spam garrotes and ruptures on everything.
That is how you play in AoE.
well, my talent build is ST is what i meant
Does your group have particularly high aoe or something
You apply 3-4 garrotes in the beginning with Subterfuge, you apply CT to everything, then you just keep applying ruptures/garrotes to everything around you.
im usually top overall dps, but not always
Filling with Envenom when the mobs are dying or when everything has bleeds up
hey guys just before swith to assa dommblade and venthyr for raiding right ?
Ye that's fine.
hรฉhรฉ thx mates
is EP and CT the play on m huntsman?
Yes.
i tried it last week and did pretty good but idk if thats just me being bad on the other setup
EP/CT usually sims higher for 2T encounters.
Some people are just lazy and just stick to the single target build whilst keeping bleeds up on the doggo.
EP/Vigor/CT gud
yee i used to do that but seems worth to swap, think i got the idea from reading u comment about it cev ๐
hey should i craft doomblade or zoldyck for m+? I am confused
Zoldyck, Doomblade is pretty bad in M+
:p yep, it's just more overall damage going the slight extra effort.
thanks

doomblade is garbo in anything past 1 target
its insane on ST tho
very wierd leggo
Itโs decent in PF. Usually get similar numbers or even higher than zold.
Nadjia for ventyr right ?
Yes.
Except you would use Lashing Scars instead of WPS
soulbinds are in the pins btw
still our preferred lego on 2 targets btw
wait what
wait what what
what
what?
w
doomblade is bis on 2 targets
Ye
confirmed !
there are pins
with soulbinds
you can also very easily simulate this through top gear
if doesn't drop for night fae
lashing scars is a venthyr only
covenant conduits come from callings/world boss/sire
ok have to swith ass for drop
you'll have to change covenants
yep
No conduits are not 100% drop rate
okok

I finally synced my patreon with discord, and it exposed me 
Haha where did it go?
self-promotion is not allowed
Ahh
Where can I share it so ppl can see?
you posted it on youtube, so I guess you already did that
Btw u los those Stealthy bois while standing down in that ditch?
You can Vanish them but have to be real quick so Domina doesn't reset
if you want to officially promote content you need to ask the depsots.
else we have #rogue-streamers and don't mind if people post their content if its relevant in the discussion they have.
e.g. if you discuss dungeon skips, posting a video about a specific skip you talk about
Ahh nice, i tried earlier but used vanish purely offensive and no consums just to see how hard it was going to be
fuu showing his boomer age
boomer indeed
when using IQD during execute, should I use a self-targeting macro for the buff or just use it for the execute damage?
you should macro for the stats
Okay, ty:)
at what % do huntsman take more dmg btw
i think its once the dogs die
when the dog dies
so no fixed %
well that is fixed
well hp pool is shared so
I think its around 10%
nvm im dumb
2/2
i might be smoothbrain but i dont miss

Doing pretty well now just sometimes get a bit flustered in large aoe packs and fall behind as I end up guessing wrong in terms of fan of knives vs trying to garr/rup/sbs things too much ๐ oh well
I seriously struggle to get the most out of assassin right now. I had an easier time with Subtlety. I guess for the most part the things I struggle with are resource and cooldown management. For instance should I always try to pair flag with vendetta if I don't lose any usages? Should I also try to buld up combo points before using shiv for maximum envenom output?
You rarely can "garr/rup/sbs things too much"
That's where most of your damage comes from.
you use flag on cd generally
if you know you won't lose anything
you can sync
should I try to pool energy and building up combo points before using flag?
thank you very much
@heavy trail There's a few occasions where you don't want to rup/gar stuff:
- The mobs are about to die so the debuffs won't last close to the full duration. (This doesn't apply to SBS as you want to get resets by sniping with it)
- Everything already has garrotes/ruptures on them and they're not in pandemic range.
Sometimes you have a choice between Rupture and CT, but most of the time in packs consisting of 3+ mobs, you want to CT.
This doesn't mean spamming it though, just applying the debuff and then going back to applying bleeds to everything.
np
Sub is easier these days
Always is
@limber lion Thanks for that
No probs.
I actually hate that. Ty
is there ever a reason to run doomblade in m+ or should I always default to MA
You should default to Zoldyck.
don't have it
There are some dungeons with smaller pack sizes where you can run Doomblade, like ToP.
and probably won't craft for a while
but you still spam garrote from stealth with MA, right
if you have subterfuge, yes
or do i switch from subterfuge
you can play nighstalker
With MFD and CT.
I've been running the build in pins (2233123)
That's fine. You can try the NS build and see how it feels.
with MA should I go something like 21X3123
2130023
I'll give it a try next, thanks
!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
A 190 zoldyck is only a week's worth of soul ash and would still be solid, legendary ilvl doesn't matter much
mfd->ct->fok->rup->fuk->rup
if u prioritize garrotes in the opener its going to feel like shit
i do not like how MFD feels in keys, plus i like my 3 silence openers. This diff in MFD is minor, ye?
Same
Sbs is MfD but better
i run 2212223, i don't do anything super high but it gets the job done
Yeah similar stuff for me too from the advice here i tried a few dungeons MFD but it's not as fun as sub build
As soon as my guild downs Sludge im going Necro. Should help me hit 8k in keys finally
I just went necro anyway
8k?
OH DPS
ROFLMAO
im like damn this guys nuts
8 k oerall dps
^
I hit 4.5 k but im only 192 ilevel ๐
still using MA trying to get this trinket and make zoldyck as reward for that haha on run 26 now
I've been doing like 6k average since I swapped to necro even using sbs pretty poorly
This is during spiteful week
So non spiteful and with some practice I think it'll be better
Depending on PUG tank and Key i average about 6.5 - 7.5 as Venth
I haven ono other leggo until get this darn trinket ๐
I need to run a bunch of mists
I've been doing nothing but plaguefall and sd where my overall is shit
SD overalls can be pretty decent tho
But again, depends on the pulls
and if people are cheating with Spiders
just ganked up my alchemy dont have to spend as much to make pots and flasks lol
That ducks me over
