I'm assuming FOK is still the combo builder for this?
yes, fok 4+ targets
oh, ok 4+ ..ive not been for 4 only 5. interesting
so CT at max CP regardless of it its on them or not?
Hey boys anyone having issue with stealth on SD ? the pack with 3big guys after 3rd boss
CT on max-1 like any finisher, but you just maintain the dot, dont spam
yup
Havent pulled that pack since M0. But no issues outside of that. Well, you cant stealth when someone enters the gauntlet so that might be the issue?
@plain thistle I guess lets say on a low key before the 1st boss....all those ads are generally dead in seconds i guess its ok to spam some CT then if they will barely live for a few seconds? I understand that the damage probably is meaninglessness for anything other than parses
in that case I would just open normally with dots for energy and spam envenom, dont think its worth to spam CT
CT spam was a thing last expansion, not so much right now
I wonder if these 2 guys forgot to swap back to Nadjia 
and on run 25 A dh GAVE ME a phial 🙂
now to just start pushing keys and upgrade my phil and shadowgrasp or contiue trying to farm for IQD also. I will probably run out of valor. Also have a 210 decantor to play with for now
I had this problem in a 17 earlier. I’ve now loaded up on invis pots as it’s probs the gauntlet doing something to regular ‘stealth’ whilst other party member are ahead of you
I noticed that as well when I did some D a few days ago
is there a way to change ilevel on raidbots of say a trinket to be higher ?
gear compare, select the trinket and set the ilvl
and after raidbots completes the simulation you can "copy" that and use that to sim other things
ok thanks
to copy
+1 
Get that iqd sir
Its a good week to farm it <.<
I did 40 plus DOS so far and got a phial on my 25h PF so a bit blurry eyed atm lol
It'll be the 41st 
Got lucky and some DH already had it and gave me it since I have no luck 🙂
huge upgrade 
Ideal trinkets IQD and Phial?
So like I have a /use [@target, nostealth] 14 macro but it still seems to use the mana or heal thing from iQD. Is there anyway to avoid it using those or is dem da breaks or am I doing something wrong. (I have a lower level iQD from heroic dungeon)
make sure no one is low health and your healer has mana, you can also use without a target to avoid using the execute
You should get the weakaura so that you know what effect you'll get
Yes
Not everyone really has access to a 233 dreadfire
And if you're venthyr iqd is better
Yeah I got the WA just wanted to make sure wasn't messing anything up
226 skulkers is better than 220 iqd for me at least
the 207 (after i gear compared) sims about -6 dps in dungeon slice compared to my 210 decanter so will keep that for now i suppose
226 skulker's is over a 30 dps loss from 220 iqd for my profile
Skulker's isn't very good for sin
I’m also necro, but it’s just profile dependent seemingly
don't think im gonna get a skulker's of that ilevel being a scrub and guildless loner either so 🙂
You can pug shriekwing mythic easy
IQD simmed better than a 233 Dreadfire for 5 min, though 6min it was the opposite (absolute worst case for an IQD though exactly 6 min). Was very close though, and a 220 IQD wins over Skulker's. Considering how often skulker's can either straight up kill you or hit a spiteful for the whole amount instead I probably should get to farming DOS more...
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fcJGEiVhryFKti6HdkDGQr
Not an upgrade for me
You need to change your gems so that you have crit as your highest stat
And it will be an upgrade
They’re both good trinkets 
Also quite unfair to compare 233 Dreadfire with 220 IQD only
I think skulker's is garbage but if you can't get anything better than sure I guess
I think I have 1 haste gem only
Because it sims better this way
You might need to change gear then
Like getting a crit ring instead of the boe vers ring
But tbh, I don't like iqd
Which classes/specs have iqd as bis? I gave one to a resto sham the other day with my trash hunter.
I mean nobody is forcing you to use it, but when built around it is the best trinket for sin
!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
It seems if you change your enchants to crit the 220 IQD sims equal. But it would be higher if you could get your hands on a 226 IQD. I just found it interesting that it didn't sim higher for you so I tried a more broad sim.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bzn1pfj9XNjFp3c5hqXhJ
Hey guys...so for doomblade (and strictly ST) the most buff envenom you can get is +15% right? (garrote, sbs, rupture)
have u heard about mutilated flesh
hi all - still learning the spec. at what number of targets does FoK > Mutilate? On big packs am I right to just keep garrote on as much as I can, FoK everything and spend points on Rupture only if something will live for the duration otherwise envenom to spend?? any help appreciated!
skulkers is el terrible
change my mind
skulkers bis
Skulker is the troll sludge partner trinket
actually impossible to kill someone with skulkers on sludge

You can redo this with a 226 by typing 'ilevel=226' in the simc input
I'm 100% positive that it will sim higher
ill try to find where to put that also

huge if true
do you guys rupture skirmishers on slg?
they usually die too fast idk if a 4-5 sec rupture is worth it
Oh shit, it simmed higher than Phial actually.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uMkwToUZ26KikesEY6iex8
The difficult is getting a 226 iqd or phial.. 3x m15 vault slots since idk, second or third week and never seen it drop
I have a 226 iqd on my holy priest ... And I've seen it on my priest at 226 3 times
Feelsbadman
What's the goal in mind when taking taking Elaborate Planning instead of Blindside in raid ?
Yeah. Never seen 226 Phial but have actually declined a 226 IQD due to me mainly playing Outlaw at the time.
doing more damage

thats always the goal
EP provides more on demand damage than blindside which is why you see it used on sludge for example
Ikr, but what are the condition that make the one talent better than the other
and its better for more targets
Yarp
It makes sens for sludge
and can even be better or super close if you are playing necrolord ( EP + vigor )
Any multi target fights as well because you’ll be putting up ruptures/CT which activate EP
does necro play vigor?
Higher uptime
But I feel like Dena is mostly ST since adds are dying so fast I have barely the time do dot adds in P2 (not even motioning P1), so why EP
or on real AOE when you're using mutilate less
Ep vigor is only 10 dps worse than bs/ds on 5min patchwerk for me
like on SLG
As necrolord
BS/DS is usually mainly a big difference if you’re venthyr
EP Vigor is 44 dps loss for me for pw5min
as venthy
I'm trying to maximise my dmg output in P3 denathrius to make it easier to farm with mix of alts, idk what build to get tbh
Feels like Zoldyck is overrated
if you want p3 damage go blinside and zoldick, for execute damage
yea thats what I did but I'm not very satisfied of my dmg
What are other Vent Sin rogues doing to get high stacks on Flag? I am typically between 22-25 and try to get closer to the 30 max. Any advice is welcome.
22-25 is pretty normal, you cant get to 30 without lust and some luck
lust + lucky crits to get 4 cp per gcd
Zoldyck vs MA on mythic raiding?
I am fairly certain Doomblade does more overall during P3 since execute is only for around 75% of the P3 phase.
yea
first vendetta is outside zoldyck window
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/M2NAQrxmX94JfwYC#fight=4&type=damage-done&phase=4 thats my kill from yesterday with zoldyck, prob a lot of minor mistakes and I played it safe cause I knew we were fine on dps but yea
I hate the BL on 2nd bloodprice
vendetta isnt up yet
I am thinking about switching to Sin from outlaw, im just worried about dmg in m+, any opinions?
Give it a go, you may enjoy it. But outlaw’s a lot less effort to get damage out than assa in m+
Lol its doing big dmg
I play OL in m+ and Sin in raid. But you can do the opposite if you want and still not do bad
How high keys are we talking?
Similar numbers but a bit more effort involved for assa
ive been doing up to 13/14s
is you're playing DS, on your opener, do you envenom at 4 cp if you have like, MA chuggin along? or do you mutilate a second time for 6 before envenom
Any help with the dual spec? ive never actually done that before lol
Guys is there a way to simcraft myself with https://www.wowhead.com/spell=198145/system-shock enabled to get info about how much it is better to spen 5 combo points on envenom instead of 4?
That’s a pvp talent
Then it doesn’t really matter tbh, the damage potential is very good for Sin and you’re not expected to keep gouge on cooldown nor get one shot by things that extra melee range would solve.
that is a pvp talend but it might be useful in outdoor content
Any thoughts on new covenant legendaries?
in top 100 assa logs on denatrius only boss dps, only 3 zoldyks ). top zoldyk dps to boss on p3 was 6100. top dooomblade dps on p3 was 6700. not enuf data but still )
Just set up 2 soulbinds (for example: Theotar for m+ and nadjia for ST)
I guess I don’t do anything but change soulbind and talents for m+. You can pick a covenant to be somewhat more tuned for M+ Outlaw and still perform well as Sin in raid, but I am sticking with Venthyr personally for now.
people say that, and i'm sure it's true to a degree (I haven't played assassination keys yet) but necro outlaw with SBS and MFD is fairly involved
have we talked about the new flag legendary?
Outlaw rotation for one target compared to multiple is barely changed, just use blade flurry. But outlaw normal rotation has a bit of things to consider, true.
Assa requires a lot to get the damage rolling. You need ~5 bleeds up so you can actually not be energy starved. As opposed to pushing blade flurry
yea, I think the floor is higher for outlaw, and it's easier
And doing your ST rotation
just saying that necro outlaws are doing a lot of things in keys
Necro adds the same for sin as for OL though
Just playing with our without MFD can be optimized
I play sin in 19s
There’s been some talk about it in #off-topic ironically. I think the CFs and fuu are still toying around with it and simming stuff
It's bugged currently
Idk if it’ll beat out doomblade though. They’re definitely interesting concepts and I’d like to see them viable
Deathspike gaming 
But MFD is not that crazy to optimize unless you can predict adds dying very accurately, and you will only gain very slightly more overall doing it. Well unless we talking spiteful then it’s a bit easier to snipe MFD
SBS and mfd resets on spiteful are the only redeeming part of that shitty affix
btw when specced to CT we get envenom buffed by 15%? when garrote and rupture on target too?
Yes
@plain thistle Thank you.
ct makes it 20%
25% with necrolord 
I don't want to reroll covenant 

Come to the stinky side
Join us
No one stanned Venthyr as hard as osh and I
Facts
And we’ve seen the third arm stinky way as the true path
im not entirely against swapping to necro, but the flag leggo seems pog
kinda does tbh ya
its like everypack in m+ u need to +3 bonespike casts on top of garrote/rupture/ct spam?
I'm calling it right now
Necro sin rogue with deathspike
Top damage on The Nine
In 9.1
Quote me
I’m with you tbh
well yeah
Deathspike looks REALLY strong in m+
Im so thorn between going necro and venthyr tbh
we have to see how often you have to spread the bosses though
Pick the one you think is cooler
They’re all close enough tbh
Except kyrian. Fuck those owls
might go necro to switch outlaw in M+ and still be very strong in raid
we cant be bottom dps meter for 2 raids in a row. so i expect rogue back on top1-2 dps on solo targets in 9.1 raid
I'm finding I can get similar numbers as Venthyr 'Sin in M+ but it takes a bit more work and planning
and a tank that understands you need to restealth for optimal dps
Idk man
You don't lose much at all for not being able to restealth actually
And you can't come close to necro sin overall in keys
on 20+ keys u rarely gets restealths tho
You have more priority damage but your overall will be lower
Zero restealths at all vs normal stealthing is only an 80 dps loss in dslice
I love playing Sin and dont mind playing outlaw but the little quality of life and utility of outlaw will always win over dps in M+ imo...
raid is no brainer Sin though
It may technically be better but it's not enough for me to care
Sin is too much fun
I'm looking forward to never pressing fok again in a key 
Maybe the empowered poisoned katar conduit gives us EB back
Then you’ll be sorry
I just want maim mangle to give us an extra CP from garrotes
wait... what did i miss
how do you escape hitting FoK in M+? It seems to always short me cp
oh no not the empowered conduits
Watch them be like mediocre increases to the current conduits so I can be mad for another tier
The new deathspike legendary will basically make every cast of sbs after the first give you 5cp
And it'll have 5 charges
Ergo the only reason you'd fok is to spread poison
Like this legendary is actually fucking insane
Assa about to be stonks in m+
And it's even better for outlaw 
Iron wire is a tank’s wet dream
Who needs 40%+ crit when you just get 5cp every builder anyway 
Tru
Legitimately having every mob in a pack ruptured
And the sbs dot scaling with mastery on all of them

Stop I’ll soil my pants
Energy for days
So if you pull 8 creeps you only need 16 globals to get them running 🙃
Whispyr always shows up when I say something stupid
it’s like clockwork
Yes, we are a ramping aoe class
Not sure what your point is
Yeah, just looking over the rogue leggo's now, and it's almost enough to make me move covenants...
I wish the ptr was actually stable so I could run a key on the ptr
stability will come in the next few weeks... until they break it again
Master assassin is simming higher than subterfuge against two targets 🤔
That happens sometimes
If I want to play assa for 2s and 3s and raid and outlaw for M+, is there a consensus on which covenant is perfect mix for that?
Thanks for the quick answer. I see.
Necro is bis for PvP for assa afaik, and bis for outlaw
And still good in raid esp w/ more than one target
Ohhh why are some ppl saying venthyr?
Or is that for sub? I get confused. Still new
Pretty sure venthyr is bis for sub pvp. But tbh I’m a mediocre pvper at best. The madlads in #pvp would be a better resource
Ahh, no. This is what I needed. Thank you

the more i think about the necro leggo the more i think it might need to get nerfed
Yup
does it use a charge for the extra hits or does it just make one charge have 3 hits
One charge 3 spikes
and the extra spikes still grant you charges when the target dies?
Yes
yeah jfc
lmao
thats getting nerfed man
that is so busted
I see nothing wrong here 
All 3 instant hits blade flurry on outlaw
They all seal fate if they crit
And grant cp
lmfaooooooo
CP for DAYS
I can see them make the extra spikes not apply the dot
so u cant get infinite charges
Just let us have this 
Well it’s still max of 5
You can’t throw out 1 charge and get 3 back
And then have 7
I actually don’t think it’s quite much more across a dungeon
You’ll get more in huge aoe
But you usually get spikes on pretty much everything
And snipe dying mobs anyway
oh ye if you pull 3-5 mobs at a time it wont change much
no touchy deathspike 
I think the crazy part is the flurry damage
i think the initial damage is pretty powerful for both specs
Like we might live in a world where outlaw just throws out spikes and doesn’t care about overcapping
On some pulls
disgusting
The burst is ridiculous
i love it
Like 20k and up ridiculous

im kinda new to rogue, but outside of blindside do we ever use ambush?
No
Nope
New to Rogue too. Usually tank but was wondering if u could sap more than 1 mob at a time? Also if stealthed why wouldn’t u use ambush?
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.
Bummer
Is the reasoning for the ambush
Ahh kk ty
hey all, can I get some in depth analysis on this log for M Shriek?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/JzY9nC68XwcmNB3F#fight=3&type=damage-done&source=17
few small things: your rupture dropped a few times, you were a bit late on shiv a few times, and you missed some blindside procs
Pretty sure DS is the play when u play venthyr
a few wasted CP on mut but not a ton
on your opener you muti snd gar
you also cast rupture on consecutive globals at one point
should be muti snd muti gar
thats only when boss parries the rupture
yea that makes sense, I couldn't figure out how that would work as assassination
your second flag was really bad
you went flag > delay on next global > mut > garrote > mut
you also vanished into muti shiv
I get that in my parses when I have to move
Wasting your ma window there also
also if you're really trying to min max your parse on shriek
you have like 5 second gaps between globals which I assume is hiding LOS for the AOE mechanic
you don't need to go that early; you can move at the last second and really only one miss 1 global
maybe 2
but don't be that guy that stands there and eats the shriek
You also had a huge gap where you didnt have SND up
you didn't use a finisher until 7 seconds into your 3rd flag
1 whole minute
and like 4-5 seconds after pressing flag with no button at all
is dauntless duelist still the go to when theres multiple targets like the nine?
and you shived 2nd global on that vanish too
2 target cleave with a third target in the final phase?
garrote is also your last global on the fight
probably not worth applying when the boss is sub 1%
Dauting is applied once per-combat to the first target you hit
So in fights like Huntsman where theres multi targets and one lives for the whole fight its still good
where as fights like Sunking where multi targets / the one you want the damage amp on isnt available at the start, its bad
IDK how the nine works but i mean you should be able to draw your own conclusions with that info
dauntless does get reapplied after the first target dies
yes, it is not accurate that it is once per combat
it occasionally bugs out on some fights (council is a bit notorious for this) but generally speaking it reapplies correctly
Yeah I was wondering, does cloak work against shriek? Was too affraid to try this week 😅
Ah k thanks
No it doesn't.
Didn’t want to be ‘that guy’ 
My guild does a weekly LFR alt/trolling run and I tried exactly that a few weeks ago when it was my turn to be on the carry end
awesome, thanks so much! super helpful. Ill keep an eye out for those
you can use it to not get feared by krillin's destructo discs but you'll still drop a puddle i think
What do you guys think about the covenant legendaries? Venthyr looks strongest imo
thoughts are in the pins
venthyr is bugged to hell atm
so hard to tell what's up with that
but necro is crazy crazy crazy strong
Uncertain
The versa is nice, and you get more flagellation, but flag already doesn't sync with vendetta/vanish
If you can get enough CDR on flag to get it down to 1 minute it could be back up for vendetta every other flag. That could be nice
I would recommend letting the guys do their theory rafting and dimming and discussions, and come back in a couple weeks before you do anything crazy like covenant swap for a leggo

whats the venth leggo bug?
it reduces cd with or without flag was what i heard last but
with the bug i someone mentioned yesterday or so, its avg 30-45 cd
which is like
bonkers broken
I'm not sure it's going to be a play, up until we can pair it with another leggo at least. But we'll see
oh yeah there is the versatility thing I forgot
yeah
if it's 30% versa then it may be very good tho
no its just 1% verse 4head
you mean it actually sounds legendary
legendary
Flag lego is a defensive with all that vers
how much dps inc is doomblades?

how
Tiny toxic blade Pog
is that with the bug? @balmy condor
no
was the bug fixed ?
its not reasonable to assume the bug will make it to live
no
Does the necro legendary propagating to 3 targets mean you get a refund for each enemy that dies?
yes
yes
i mean it depends whispyr
Nice
whether the "spent combat points during flagellation" means
the 12 seconds
or the full 24
were you doing sims with the cdr during 12 or 24
No reason to believe it’s not the 12 seconds
None of the other effects are the 24
The other effects state “when flag ends”
The debuff drops
Like
I get wanting the 24 seconds
But I don’t think it reasonable to assume it’ll work that way
what is the buff called
You simmed it with the it working like flat does on live?
Yes
Like 24 second stats 12 seconds of cdr
Yes
That’s how it’s implemented in ptr sims and that’s what the spell data would imply
Like I said
There is no reason to assume it’s supposed to be cdr for all 24
Idk what the ptr names are
Should still be Flagellation
Yeh
ok so
the debuff is Flagellation
and the aura buff is Flagellation
so we can't tell which one the tooltip is referring to
Press "F" to doubt 
There’s no reason why the cdr should be all 24

Even if it were all 24
It wouldn’t even matter
Because you’d sync it with vend anyways
So what’s the point
because its the difference between an extra cast
and not an extra cast
of flag
between vendettas
It’s 1 minute in both situations
but its not
Why does it matter if it’s 1:05 or it’s 50 seconds
You’re syncing every other
It’s the same amount of casts
We’re going into hypotheticals on top of hypotheticals, if things hypothetically hypotheticaled
This isn’t worth my time man

Okay, let me reiterate
how much better it would be
There is no reason why it’s 24
with 24 seconds instead of 12
IF IT WERE the 24 seconds
ik u say it doesnt matter
idk if its the difference of 25 seconds cdr vs 40
double uptime on the cdr buff would make it atleast 50
which would potentially let you get 2 casts in between vendetta
if flag had 40 second cd
you would never be getting enough cdr to be able to cast flag twice between vendetta
lust pi etc
no
You’re getting about 35-40 seconds atm on ptr
but probably not good enough unless you can consistently get 1 min flag cds
And that’s with the bug
which it doesnt seem to be atm in sims
Yeah
All finishers reduce
This is the number of reduction, right?
The CDR is applied even when flagellation isn't active
Yeah, it's literally constant, pretty nuts.
No, that’s the cooldown
i see
what?
and is that without lust pi
how come
The legendary is bugged
what is it with lust or pi
ahh, i see
And all finishers reduce the cdr
40sec would be something interesting
It would be
not realistic tho
But the legendary would need to be like 4x stronger
What matter is the versa buff and it is not working atm
In order for that to happen
40sec means it can even pair with euphoria
the vers is working
none of them seem exciting st but i didnt check aoe for stuff like necro
The vers buff falls off as soon as the initial 12 seconds of Flagellation are over, and that should most likely last the full 24 since it's tied/paired with the haste buff stacks
if flag will be 1 min then duskwalker becmoes more appealing aswel
cant use 2 legendaries
maybe not bis, but better for sure
no 2 leggo
i meant instead of doom
how you getting flag to 1 min without the covenant legendary
unless you mean buff flag to 1min flat?
ah right its the cov
@balmy condor sorry for bugging u when the legendary is still bugged to hell
damn, there go my hopes
duskwalker should be implemented as a talent imo.
it's fine, it's just you and a million other people
yeah i understand that
and having long discussions where I just repeat myself
sorry to add to it
over and over and over
100%
is just a waste of time
But Whyspir
welcome to class discords
if anything zoldyck should be the talent
ok my char was just bugg now it work
is it lasting full 24 second or 12 second only?
the vers?
12sec
LOL
probably not intended this way thoi
okay but imagine
30-45 sec cd on flag
im assuming unlusted / no pi
best pi target 
that would require the cdr portion to be like 2-2.5 seconds
the cdr portion is pointless tbh
hi miki!
you'll sync with vendetta anyway
no
its not pointless
its a difference of # of flags between vendettas
1 2 or 3
potentially
not pointless if you dont even get it down to 1 min
@kind talon I am a lying man
the fucking sin APL nonsense that I fought to not get implemented is fucking everything over

which means?
is forcing it to 1:30
DONT TELL ME
But ideally you want to sync it with Fatal Flaw buff which is up every 90sec exactly
god I fucking hate that shit
so that means the venthyr legendary is slightly better?
yeah I have to resim without all the flag/vend syncing bullshit
it wasnt doing that when i was simming it, it was casting it much more frequently than 1.30
we wait for great leader whispyr to show us the way
WHICH THE APL SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO BEGIN WITH
BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO
WE HAVE TO ADD JANK NONSENSE
so if the Leggo drop Flag 12sec down, I can bet you that it'll be more efficient to still cast it every 90sec (delaying 3rd vendetta to 270s marker to sync)

why would the leggo only drop flag 12 sec
honestly I'm glad that I'm not venthyr anymore just so i don't have to worry about syncing flag
me bone spike zug zug
@balmy condor ye again sorry for bugging u but as soon as i saw the venth leggo compared to ttb
i was shooketh
ttb is actually not awful
whispyr do you know if koji/mystler are aware of the flag legendary's behavior on the ptr before they implement it in sims?
if flag go down to 1:10 it will sync with Euphoria that's good
the apl is fucked atm
not apl
but from what whispyr said
they are simming it assuming that
the vers lasts all 24 seconds
and the cdr is only during the first 12 seconds
as opposed to all the time
I'm like 95% sure they looked at spell data for implementation
me too
I think they just ignored the bug
nvm ignore me
does EP damage buff apply to the finisher itself?
basically we could get ~20% versa ramping up with the 20% haste from Euphoria, then 20% crit from Fatal thing + the haste buff from flag
the cdr or the vers bug
that's good
It goes off your top stat for Fatal Flaws of Crit/Vers, so you potentially will always get vers if running the flag leggo, do consider.
no because your versa buff will mostly fade before Fatal Flaws trigger
but in the other case well
yeah it'll give versa
what is fatal flaws
new broken Nadjia soulbind
new souldbind
basically give 20% crit or Versa for 10sec every 90sec
we using iqd now right?
Hm yeah, possibly then, it is plausible it could give either then. I forgot it was based off Euphoria not Flag
if we are getting so much more flag cdr
I know we like to be broken, but Assa is already god damn toping metters rn
which is almost double the casts
no need for more OPness
heh opness
or different trinket thats hasted like sludge
how good is the expected version compared to doomblade?
whispyr doing sims rn @whole mason
If other classes can have legendaries that are 12% DPS gains, I don't see why rogue can't. 😉
or at least
the sims are gonna be fixed so we dont know yet
how much %gain is doomblades
That's great
nvm ill check bloodmallet lol
Man imagine if we can equip 2 legos, venthyr one + vendetta cdr
7%
Tons of love for @balmy condor
@balmy condor
Whispyr bullies me 
The CDR thingy kinda sucks, would be awesome if it would rather reduce Vendetta CD xD
so that everything line up : Flag / Vend and Fatal Flaws
it really depends
baseline BiS gear
no lust?
lust included
70sec CD is not good
it sucks really
I think that is the average interv
if you get a PI during the lust, you'll probably get it to like 65
but from 70 to 60 is a large leap
Encounters are designed around flat 2mn or 3mn CD usually
70 means 20stacks right?
yep
having 70sec CD is like you'll be off timing most of the time and it definitely sucks. 95% of the time you'll have to delay that shit and the CDR will be useless
PI isn't affecting stacks
30 stacks ever?
30 stacks is very very very hard to hit
wtf assa rogue gcd is not hasted?
gcds are locked
you need to MFD and shit
all rogue gcd's are 1 second hard capped
LOL
haste doesn't do anything
Need the power of MfD then.
got it
and dot ticks
at best you do 4 finisher maybe
but yeah im talking in terms of
compared to live
finishers
is gonna be kinda brutal
yeah
to sync
I need to read the description again.
well, the vers buff is still pretty big tho
the versa buff is very good yeah
might not be top simming
but definitely something you like in real encounter
Is there any clarification about 12 or 24 sec from blizzard?
bro idk like litterally 2 hours ago it wasn't even working for me (the versa buff)
and now it work but it's only 12sec
and seems like on spell data it was 24sec when first implemented so
i mean ye idk
for 12 seconds its like
a scaling versa buff that does nothing
if its 24 its way better
like night and day
have you considered whether it might be better with the bis gear set from the next patch
259 ilvl stat budgets
could give us more crit and haste to get those last 2 finishers in
we wont be getting THAT many secondaries
say it osho
there's literally a 5% crit ring

he wants to say it
doesn't change the fact that 70sec cooldown will be off timing 95% of time
sc...
Where’s the mastery ring 
sca
this meme brought to you by the "I'll beat yo bitch ass" gang
but even 66sec CD it's off timing
yeah but
and you will not have that 24sec of CDR every single time
lmao that meme
ye idk
would depend on the bugs getting fixed
and what blizz decides to do with the leggo
I’m yoinking this ngl
But also beat me up papi 
i assume theyre going to update the vers to be 24 seconds, and update the cdr to only be 12
thats what the wording SOUNDS like its supposed to be
Unless clarified by blizzard, I think there is still hope for 24sec for cdr.
^
my thoughts exactly
but id lean towards 12 sec still
only issue is that if its 12 sec
its probably not better
the wording is a bit specific for it to bend like that
He won’t stop though, you’ll forever be emotionally abused
the activation of flag is packed with two buff of the same name of flagellation in https://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/theory/mechanic/spell/covenantflagellation?spec=RogueAssassination&version=live
again
is "Flagellation"
the 24 second buff
or the 12 second debuff
they have the same name
debuff?
the vers buff obviously will
the cdr idk
but if it does last 24 seconds
then it will line up
would be nice
for my humble understanding of English, if they're talking debuff, they wouldn't use ``active", but "applied".
and usually debuff-based buffs mention that its only on that target, eg vendetta
A wise man said "Do not trust tooltips"
Why ask mr robot dose not have a ptr version!
it gives some good and detailed information
man ain't nobody use that dogshit
People still use mr robot?
healers do iirc
not people, just robots
it's not good and detailed if it's all shadowy nonsense
who even develops the AMR stuff
has anyone ever heard of them
no, i'm talking about spell details
Wait how do you sim healing?
need shadowcraft to have an updated PTR version
wowhead has those
raidbots has heal sims
Damn whispyr out here really “who?”ing devs :/
*ask mr

all that info is on wowhead
you mean the table?
I don't see a table on there
but there is no info on that page
that isn't on wowhead
I can calc that for you bud.
All - good luck nerd LMAO
Dang I got wrecked 
at least on wowhead I didn't see the extended buff page
No fuck them owls
anyone have a hidden knives wa? :)
or is it still fucked with the bug

god damnit
what relevant info do you need from that page?
seems to be wrapped into the same ID
if that helps
but venthyr lego is literally fucked in like 4 different ways
ye ik its so funny
whispyr, can you pls find a apl change that makes the night fae legendary good?
not possible
I'm pretty sure they can make it 30 seconds
and it would still be bad
Just fudge the numbers

Ez
for example if the haste buff is following triggered or packed with the activation of flag
Oh no


what difference does it make?
it makes me feel like a 
LOL
Lets say if the activation include the extended 12sec, then the leggo may be intended for 24sec as a whole duration for cdr.
thats not how those effects work really

correct me if im wrong but
are those effects not just how amr codes them for their sim
rather than how they actually work in the game?

I wasn't gonna say anything bolas
like serrated bone spike counts as a bleed for doomblade right? im not necro idr
Well, Im just reading the description and trying to understand how this ``flag" activation should mean if there is not official clarification on it.
yes
it does
it does @fathom swift
lol
the description is amr trying to recreate how it works in game, its not accurate to how it actually functions
I might have to retire from the spec channels for a while there’s some real degenerate shit being asked rn 
it's like trying to figure out what kind of paint was used on the mona lisa by analyzing a 5 year olds recreation of it
tldr amr bad, dont rely on it for anything

I'm playing path
I think your metaphor is not accurate here
I think it's a quite good
analogy
because AMR is a disaster
any chance to not use AMR sounds good to me
it's like
I remember the old days of having to use amr
amr and simc don't have access to blizz code directly
For expertise and hit rating reforging
I know its early, but are any of the covenant legos looking viable over the existing choices?
you can only implement abilities in sims by looking at spell data and doing your best to replicate the behaviour in game
i wouldnt advise anyone to try to figure out how an ability is supposed to work by looking it up in simc code either
If that is the case, then we can only wait for bliz to fix the bug
necro is crazy strong in m+, otherwise not really

Hey,
I need to be sure for P3 denathrius :
- Cloak does prevent from being kb by Shattering Pain ?
- Cloak prevents from being hit from massacre ?
Both are shadow damage so I assume it would work but I don't really wanna test it myself and i'm currently using cloak to help healers on blood price
the venth one don't seem good?
neither
scroll up there is no secret sauce
I did sim it
The only thing cloak does is preventing damage from kb but not kb
I'm currently shadowsteping on DK during the bad combo of massacre+shattering pain of P3, how do you guys do
and more importantly the dmg from red surface
really?
basically that
sadge
i do that yea
i cloak shadowstep dk
walk back into ravage
then go to my seeds
if you trust your DK, you can do that, but remember shadowstep locate you a position behind the DK
the cdr is 70 seconds, so you get weird sync's, the vers is okay I guess, but that's the most you'll gain from it
damn
whats the point of cloaking then
my dks usually walk into the old ravage so i cloak before i step them but yeah
I walk onto the red and run for a distance for kb
thx, so no massacre dodge with cloak thx
yea
just avoid massacres and ur good
save your cheat death and shadow step for the most gain would be good
!stats
In general simming yourself is the recommended way to determine stat weights.
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simulation.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
im at 215 and my stats ( sim wise ) are crit > haste > Vers > mastery. Haste is like, 2 ahead of vers. prob will jump ahead with a better weap ( With haste on it, sad face having two crit mastery weaps )
our stats are pretty fluid
st vs aoe, talents, legendaries, covenant can all shift them around
haste is better on non venthyr
yeah, thats with being venthyr.
sure
Solo in #assassination

LMFAO
we were bamboozled
i fucking wish
p pog champion
i have phial/decanter right now
