#assassination
1 messages ยท Page 4144 of 1
even if sub is equal or even SLIGHTLY ahead sin will still be the to go tbh.
Its just how the fights are designed if you ask me atleast.
it was like 1% behind before wasn't it

how's assassination dealing in ptr atm with dmg?im new rogue btw
deathspike is a buff 
I wish i could play sub, its actually pretty fun. Assassination will for sure be better though.
#outlaw <โ that way
i'd rather quit
I need rogue council: i'm progressing council of blood, but next week is push week: i have no clue on what to do if to stay venthyr for ST damage or to go back necrolord for the sweet rio
isn't our aoe better than outlaw's anyway 
necrolord is better for council
because of sbs resets
if that were true where is your SLG dmg 
Then i'm fucking r3tarded
Just go back to necro. You prob wanna play necro for SLG anyway.

no rogue does damage on slg
You're right
it's all relative
my job is to kill goliaths and do boss damage and i'm doing that
i'm not trying to whore my overall on prog
Thats what i was thinking too
That way you could go outlaw aswell ๐
i'm always top goliath damage
if deathspike is the aoe legendary for sin and sub
then they have no chance of touching outlaws aoe
because they have bladeflurry
idk about that bruv
at least until much higher density
fuu posted some sims with both sub and sin with higher aoe than outlaw
!guide
Also it's not that bad for those instant 5cp on council is it
!rotation
sin > outlaw on less than 5t, and sub and sin > outlaw on > 5t
there's no way sin > outlaw on less than 5t
that's 100% cap
maybe 2t it beats it maybe
sin is better at 2 and 3
^
outlaw doesn't win til 4/5
Actually sin does more damage at 10+ targets aswell ๐
if they survive long enough
and if you look at huntsman it's about 50/50
sin/law
i do think sin is better 2t tho
huntsman isn't really 2T sustained with random adds coming in and whatnot
if you do a proper 2T sustain sim sin crushes
i think overall it's close enough that you can play what you want
aka i can never play outlaw again
I mean, i told my rogues to go outlaw for slg :p
My RL told me to go sin because we have 2 windwalkers, 2 fire mages, 2 boomkins
honestly i'd love to play sub on slg
If you can't push goliaths without someone going full ST your doing something wrong.
๐ฎ
ah good point mata
but i contribute more to the raid focusing on the goliaths than I do playing outlaw and killing spreeing the adds
Its a lot easier to control the adds if you just go full ham AoE lol
we have 2 wind walkers and 2 fire mages and boomkins
and a havoc
they are controlled 
oh and a frost dk too
I mean i'm sure you killed the boss a couple of times. I havent even killed it myself ๐
nah we're still progging it
I benched myself to become the 21th man.
after 2 nights we consistently get to grashaal
i think we can kill it in 2-3 more weeks at this rate
btw does anyone know if the venthyr lego is bugged or does it increase vers for every combo point used during flag, and the reduce cd is always?
it's beyond bugged on ptr
I honestly felt like p2 was easier to prog than p1 was.
so it should be like the tooltip?
it doesn't seem to be too bad so far
i'm worried about the 2nd intermission but we'll see
No, 2nd intermission is free
As long as your raidleader knows what hes doing you should have no issues doing the second intermission.
Itโs bugged to shit, should be vers like the haste from flag on live, and cooldown reduction for the 12 seconds itโs active
So 12 seconds of ramping stats, and cdr, then 12 seconds of lingering stats
the vers is not bugged then right? think thats how it is in ptr
So why are people running ep/vigor for sire?
lots of p2 dam
Is there a specific reason why people are? I thought blindside at p3 would just be super good o:
it's for parsing
Ah yeah
blindside better for prog yea
All my raiders are a bunch of parse horny mofos. They get really upset when i tell them not to blast everything D:
Hey just got 233 dreadfire from vault, I know they changed it so 100% crit lego doesnt have any effect on it but what about vendetta or the MA talent? Just wondering if theres an optimal time to use it or just on cd?
Nope, just on CD
That's the same issue in our SLG prog as well
People can't hold back lol
aight ty so its just random
is its crit based on your base crit chance?
It's not really random, it's just on every CD. It's affected by you char stat crit yeah.
It's apparently affected by fire mages fire% damage though, so kinda unfair
recently got 2 daggers and ive been trying out assasin, im 219 and always energy starved is this normal
Sin is just a slower paced spec
But you should also check your uptime on your bleeds
i havent really done anything but open world content so far, i just kill with envenmom cause the mobs weak
Try it out on some big mobs then if you want to feel how the energy is.
You will need to put up both bleeds to get energy pumping
thanks for the advice ill go test it out on the world boss
wont be doing any dungeons till the weeekend
can someone check a hc hungering log real quick ?
i wanna make sure i didn't make an oopsie
except misstiming my pot 
Is it worth to changing to Necrolord For Denathrius progress?
nah
not rly no
its only for overall, p3 boss dmg is about same
@compact pumice yah that felt a lot better, but does haste smooth it out? coming from outalw im all vers/crit and only at 10%
Venthyr changes it a bit but haste is not really that noticeable other than a bigger buff like Flagellation
I mean it depends
on how you compare it but you don't really play differently, just maybe press a button slightly faster
It wont feel anywhere near as fast as Outlaw though
Haste only gives 1 extra energy per second per 10% haste
how much extra does it give from faster VW procs
i know it'll be miniscule
but you should add that
yeah vw are most of the energy "regen"
alright, thanks everyone. ill put in more practice to it. shouldnt expect it to be as fast anyway thinking about it since outlaw is one of the higher apm specs
dots tick at 2/(1+haste/100)
But I'm not exactly sure whether that's rating or %
I'd have to go look into it
At 17% haste my sbs ticks every 2.5 seconds, down from 3
yeah i wasn't sure what the conversion was
any feedback is appreciated https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/G6Njp1fmyq7RXxhc#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=1
fix ur shit
oh fuck it's private hold on

like my parse aint bad but 96 in hc aint crazy with a guy giving me PI too
There's no way I pass up a 226 phial even if i have a 220 right?
sim it
There is only one Phial
There are like 6 rings equivalent to bloodoath
That's what I was thinking
idk man nothing jumps out at me @frail fossil
Because I'm sure the ring will actually sim higher
aight well that's ggood at least ty for taking ur time 
maybe a necro could look at your sbs usage lol
U missed 2 shiv casts
fuck i forgot to look at that
i had to hold one cuz of consume one is cuz PI was coming in 10sec with vendetta
U should shiv even before consume
so i chose to hold the shiv
the shiv i missed like came right at the consume time like i wouldn't be able to get a single cast off after
u can cloak the first but not second
cuz of cd
cuz it was a rando pug with one healer healing 
Wait nvm you talking about second consume
is crimson tempest capped at 8?
yes
Seeing you here warms my heart flower 
so really quick, for council prog: BS or EP? Vigor or DS?
having to type here doesn't warm mine but u gotta do what u gotta do 

prayge
and if sub's getting love, you know there's gotta be some other changes coming
because blizz doesn't give af about sub 
i mean outlaw is tuned p well tbf
anyone? i see basically equal representation on that
its essentially a ST fight with some adds, EP should be close enough because you'd ideally be wanting to keep a second rupture up on one of the other bosses you're not killing
but I haven't killed mythic council yet cuz my guild's in roster disarray so take my advice with a grain of salt 
for sure lol. just rupture up on two, or garrote as well?
Is there a cap, on haste, for assassination? And a general target for crit? ๐
you can keep garrote up on both so why not
yeah ideally, for the giga energy returns
no caps, you want crit/haste though as your prio secondaries
no caps or breakpoints โ just keep simming yourself
what do you mean?
3 ruptures 2 garrotes or 3 garrotes 2 ruptures
otherwise youre spending too much time / gcds / damage on non prio
5 bleeds gives the most energy return without wasting dps on dotting up everything
garrote imo is easier and gives you more time to pump envenoms
Ok thanks! Right now I have 26% haste and 19% crit, so was wondering if I should gem/enchant for crit, but I just simmed, and it told me to keep my haste ench on my current ring and gem/ench for crit on new ring. Thanks y'all ๐
oh gotcha, thats super helpful
so two on prio, two on second, and a garrote or something on third or an attendant basically
but again thats imo, rupture might be the better choice, i just find garrote easier
pretty much
personally i will put up a garrote if they are close
just to get some energy rolling
true, depends how your group does it too
some people tank them far
we clusterfuck em
yep
@cerulean nest im a big fan of blindside DS
yeah?
just tinker around with talents, even if something sims better doesn't mean you'll perform it better ya know? If you're more comfortable with EP/Vigor play EP Vigor
they're close enough where your play will make a bigger diff than the talent choices
im totally fine with BS
yeah, i'll see whats up
ep vigor is literally like
10 dps difference on single target to me
so it doesnt matter
same
yeah its chump change, so another talent combo might work better for you
kinda impossible to sim a council style fight though lol
with all the extra adds and shit
yeah fuck that fight
the difference between BS/DS and EP/Vigor is so little (for most people) that playing what is more comfortable and natural to you will net you more dps than the โperfectโ build
it's literally balls
council
you just sim singletarget
your add damage doesnt matter
unless you want to parse
just 300 iq snipe the attendant with a 2cp rupture for full energy ๐
lol i'll give it my best shot
cuz others should be melting it asap
mostly worried about my guild doing mechanics, thats always an issue
okay yeah i was gonna ask
fok at 4+ targets
it only matters during p3
but also, if youre running blindside, then dont
really hope they dont ask me to do interrupts
ideally they'd want ranged interrupts because after frieda's dead there's a lot of movement
^
and that's asking a lot of melee
yep
im sure 4 ranged are enough
we have melee kicks for frieda and ranged kicks for after image
shaman op
ill try bs/ds fuckit
and ya shamans are OP for sniping one thatโs gonna go of
I'm on the kick rotation but I always see others kick to generate resources 
yeah idk why spriests don't interrupt more
can't be bothered to stop their mindsear spam?

also does an attendant come out early enough that i should hold CDs on pull until after?
yeah if it comes out early hold CDs until its dead
because pepega raid leaders and players think that
depends on how fast the boomies kill
ranged interrupt is a longer cd
so melee has prio
literally the thought process of my RL
"melee always get kicks because they have a shorter cd"
does it not always come early?
guys
it does, but it depends on if the boomies can convoke it down or not
ah ok
we usually have a boomer stand far
if you see it get in range, just hold CDs
can't fix blue parse 
and he presses the convoke button
cool cool
the optimal way of using vanish in m+ scenario is to use it when the enh garrote is ending?
PADDER GONNA PAD 
hey I'm all for degenerate padding
and in pulls do i use it to spread more? like, in general we do 3 mobs with enh gar, if the pull is bigger do we vanish to apply more?
I got a 96 parse on hivemind last tier playing m+ talents and traits 
yo guys in ST is it ever worth to refresh rupture or garotte before pandemic if rupture is going to fall during ur shiv window? if not should u refresh it at the correct time and maybe sit on shiv for a little or refresh it during shiv window
@hollow escarp
lol same, a DK steals mine about 25% of the time
yeah you're safe to refresh early to avoid refreshing in a shiv window
I noticed that
but only refresh early if it'll fall off in the shiv window

PB is such ass tbh
peanutbutter?
and im a fan of ST


Yes and yes
ok thanks, is it ever worth to hold on shiv a little to pull energy or go to like 4cp to shiv->env? if so how much time can i hold shiv
I would just shiv on cd
even at like 20 energy and 1cp?
its better to have a suboptimal shiv window than ending up missing a cast later in the fight
but also add in a fok for that energy pump

kay and i should try to pull energy and get some cp before shiv get off of cd right?
yeah if you can hold some CP without overcapping energy before shiv comes off CD
okay thanks is it a problem if i unfortunatly get to max cp before pressing shiv?
if you're at max CP just shiv anyway
okay thanks a lot

make sure you laugh at osh for making them haste/vers
yeah but I made mine on the shoulders

Shoulder doombladers 
oh yeah last question i think, garotte inside shiv window is fine right?
Yes
listen man I had 220 crit/vers shoulders at the time and 226 haste/vers gloves
So is rupture
it made sense at the time okay?!
oh and also if shiv is going to end and i have 2 or 3 cp should i send a last env?
No
which legendary should i go for considering i will only do raids with assa
Doomblade
can dreadfire and shriekwing not crit anymore?
Got 226 phial from vault ๐
they can, they're just not affected by the master assassin legendary anymore
do you hit crimson tempest in st?
yes
@balmy condor same for talent?
out of shiv to maintain
talent has never worked with trinkets
ok thanks
np
@ me
@frail fossil

oh yeah i had one last question about envenom uptime, should i play around it ? maybe try to pool some energy to do 2 envenom in a row or something
My boy Ion saying rogues need raid utility

not really, 2 envenoms in a row you lose uptime, just pool to around 90 energy before hitting envenom if nothing else is going on
ie no shiv, no vendetta, no flag, etc
and dots are up
yeah that what i meant i think, like if i pool to 90 i will be able to chain another envenom to get better uptime right?
that's the basic idea, yeah, it just also does the job of pooling for shivs and stuff
with the same principle
kay thanks
at 3 targets, you still don't press FoK for damage?
!scaling
Moroes ded
bot ded
Give it 2 minutes
Probably just restarting
Hey @prisma monolith buddy you okay? :(
he is offline 
in your opener when you vanish-envenom-mutilate and land on 4cp do you use your last MA global on envenom or go up to 6 cp
mutilate
Happens, I put a lot into the pins, itโs kinda hard to not ask a pinned question
Is the boy back
!mut



Free my boy moroes 

So, reading the FAQ in the pins, we're not holding shiv for anything and literally just shove it in on CD?
Yep
I should add a note about shiv vend tho
We hold shiv to line with vend when theyโre close
I am guessing if its close to 3-4 seconds off?
10-12
i think itโs more like 8-12
ah
ah cool
is sub and assa rogue loot spec same?
Yep
poison bomb or tempest for raids?
Bomb for single target no movement, CT for anything more than that
another question: where does sbs fit in the opener? Don't see it in the ravenholdt guide
First global
thx for answering this question

Should i use crimson tempest on single target? Feels like its just a waste of points and energy at that point, and i barely get any envenoms off
hmm, I manage 4.5k dps non buffed (besides poisons) on a dummy, 223 ilvl. feels like I'm doing something wrong :/
If i have it talented for mythics, i mean
you use it on st outshide of shiv windows
so rae do we reach ct on st point in 9.1
maybe one day poison bomb will rise again
HB will rise
i hope it changes into an ability
Which?
or something that follows the mob around, poison bomb
I wish they would make exsang great again. It's so much fun but so bad outside of extreme haste levels =c
I wonder what rogues raid utility will be that Ian talked about.
Smokebomb?
Probably
When do we get the next cycle of mortregar? Been waiting for doomblade
just force spawn it in twisting
Wait thats possible?
yeah you go layer3 or whatever it needs to be, keep resetting till you get it and just finish first 6
Omg thank you
You will have had to completed twisted corridor 1,2 though to do that
I guess on at least one toon
hmm, both my outlaw and assa sims 5050 without buffs, and on a dummy I manage to hit 4.9k on outlaw but barely breaking 4.5k on assa :/ Is the vanish that big? (Not vanishing cuz dummies are dumb)
Finally starting to figure out sire
this fight has been really fun to learn
I feel like I should be doing like 800 more dps on p2 though
You should sim on training dummies instead.
There an option to change.
Can the latency ruin my EP window? Cause even though i sim higher with EP on ST i do more DPS when running BS. (I'm always around 150ms)
blood elf rogue is level 7 lol ๐
ugh the pull on council feels like shit
council: worth dotting up extra mobs for energy gainz?
waiting for the attendant
yeah assa feels really bad on council during prog
the first attendant shouldn't be touching the boss though
just use the time from pull to first attendant to get your 5 bleeds out, hopefully by that time attendant is dead and you can pop
up to 5 total bleeds (2 rup 3x garrote, 3x rup 2x garrote, etc)
wordd ty!
np
Right is simcraft on training dummy, left is ingame details
doesnt look like I'm goofing too hard, or am I missing something?

was trying to do this without vigor and it was ass. switched and its much more feasible
yeah I know, kyrian for now since I dont do anything ultra serious
yeah it was night and day making the change just now
any input would be appreciated (except reroll venthyr lulw)
oh, to clarify, why I'm wondering is that I sim 4.9k on dummy, ended up on 4.5-4.6 ingame. on outlaw I simmed 5k and ended up on 4.95 :>
so I am scratching my head where those 400dps should come from
well - for one you probably simmed with hero, windfury, mystic touch, etc enabled; which will inflate your sim
whats the best potency conduit for raid?
other than that, theres not much to comment on with what you linked, a log is much more helpfull
maybe I should just log me doing rotation on a dummy for 15 minutes and see if someone smarter than me can give me some clarity ^^
that is 100x easier to analyze than those screenshots :p
yeah I know, was mostly wondering if someone saw something horribly wonky ๐
(DONT SAY KYRIAN)
hey - someones gotta play kyrian
actually... running Master assassin talent but not using vanish at all during those 10minute fights
that cant possibly equal 300dps can it?
yeah im not using it at all due to it breaking my detail logging if I do ๐
yeah thats a big dps loss ๐ you wanna sync vendetta and vanish together
yeah line up vanish with vendetta and shiv
by either having 4/5 cp and vanish into envenom mut or vanish mut env
I technicly know how to use it, but just didnt due to dummys being dummys. just didnt think it was that big
but if its big then that would explain it
so 10 minutes, that's 5 vanish usages with MA talent that im not using
it wont equal 300, but its certainly a dps increase
lets say it equals 150-200
or to be fair, lets say 100
that would put me within 100-150 dps of simdps. that aint too shabby for an hours work
you can combatlog a training dummy and upload to WCL
If youโre not using vanish as a cd then youโre just wearing a high ilvl ring or bracers
You might as well not be wearing a leggo
If you want to get a good idea of your damage on a dummy with details you should get another player to just hit it that should keep you in combat. Be in the Same group
hey @balmy condor can you take a look at my logs for mythic shriek? I feel like I should be doing far more damage if I'm good... https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4ZdJDMA3rvnqxag1/#fight=last&type=damage-done
Kill time is a big thing on shriek
Your dps is fine considering your TTk
that 2nd intermission is the killer to ur dps
ahhh, gotcha thx
so both my legos are 190 (zoldyck) and (MA), im waiting for soul ashe to make 235, but im ganna be mythic raiding on my rogue, would MA or zoldyck do better?
and if i do MA do i take sub talent?
im just guessing Zoldyck. since it would be more consistent. ( i think ? ) i guess the crit would be nice from MA.
doomblade is our best raiding leggo though.
yea i havent gotten it yet sadly
Americans can you tell us if itโs up this week
If not you can just go into twisting corridors and get it
And I would make doom 100% even hold ash for it. Youโll use it on like every fight other that sire
Iโve just beeen taught that iqd is awesome for sin and now Iโm excited af to try it
@balmy condor if I sim iqd does the rogue apl hold the second vend. If I sim 5 mins patch
yea its not up this week, ill end up making it this week
You can get it from twisting bro
yea thats what i ment, ill farm it this week, i just didnt have ashe to make it so far
man i am struggling on council
council sucks ballz
no
Mythic?
yes
Whatโs going wrong
whats the best conduit for raid?
i feel like its just our mechanics which is making my dps ass
i get targeted for recital, and the little route we take pulls me out of melee range
and if im in melee range I get hit by stavros
im wasting time dotting an attendant because it doesnt die instantly
so i do a tiny bit of damage to it but feel like im dropping my other bleeds while doing so
idk just feels all over the place. im sure practice will settle it down
sim yourself :)
I mean i just started playing assa so i was wondering what others think
we are also using a route that it's hard to be in melee for. Tbh we should change but, but my temporary fix was just to go outlaw instead. Do a lot more damage since I can stay in range while running.
do you have logs any where?
here's our longest pull. im ashamed of it even though its literally our first night learning lol
basically just chaos the whole time
im not sure how it is on mythic but, dumb quesiton. are you cleaving at all?
im trying to keep dots on a second target
I see like equal representation in top logs
dont do that
unless its diff on mythic its a damage loss to cleave
because they just return to full health
CT
from the conversations ive had in here, its to maintain energy
HB is full on padding lol
Ah----- you're doing fine from what i'ev seen
sucks though if you're getting targeted a lot
Ya
how do you handle P1 adds, I like to line my Shivs up with the cast
but youd want to be CTing at the time
do you just try and offset it and get CTs in on adds and then shiv after?
have yo utried running BS/MA/DS?
No I shiv on CD
P1 adds are pure padding
Just fok CT adds
yeah i started with that, and i honestly couldnt manage all the dots + attendants without vigor
Then envenom dickhead Donny
so i switched halfway through
3 to apply poisons, 4 to generate
A+, ty sir
yup and thereโs always enough mini adds
we're lookign at getting close to a kill this week so I wanted to be dialed in completely
I think when you get to the last two cleansings you might only have 3 adds
i mean is sub with the stilletto conduit a horrible alternative to sin on council?
the flow just overall felt icky and inefficient as sin
sims show that my ST is stronger as 3320021 but top perf sin rogues are using 2310021 on sludge?
i figured out that on SLG if you sbs grashaal a split second before you pull you can get a spike up on him and on kaal at the beginning of the fight, pretty much every sbs after that will give you 4 or 5cp which is pretty sick
@stoic needle omg, thats a hot tip. Lots of extra CP that way
your sbs basically has to be the thing that initiates combat because grashaal becomes not interactable while he's in the air
Pillar amp for sludge is where most of the damage is and where youโre holding everything for, thatโs why everyone is running EP for more finisher damage
depending on your groups dps sometimes it scruff the numbies if you kill before, or way after 4th pillar
is HB and CT an actual dps increase for pad on sire?
Good morning all, is 194 ilvl the highest obtainable for World quest that gives EQ?
i coulda done better
i had to move so i didn't get my full 2nd vendetta
can only blame myself tbh :/
im playing arti with 2 vendettas in mind
I inted yesterday to succ then I got the cheat dr bug
big oof
yea was top 10 forsure Q-Q
maybe not top10, but top20 prolly
someone got a top 100 parse with the wrathstone trinket from timewalking raid....
if you have no shot of getting SLG shoulders, shoulders
if there is any shot you can get slg shoulders, hands
makes sens ty
even if you have no shot at shoulders it still might be hands
just depends on your vault gear/or if you have pvp stuff
doesnt shoulders give more main stat?
man i've no idea what im doing wrong with zoldycks
have no issues doing around 6.5k overall with MA in dungeons but i cant break 6k with zoldycks
zoldycks seems like it doesnt do a dame thing
shoulderds and hands give the same amount of stats
Is sin pretty comparable to outlaw in m+s? And we would use zoldyk right for m+? I tried out outlaw and just didn't like the feel
Having a hard time choosing Necro or Venthyr
what can i say
just a gamer
i barely go to raid anymore and i still have a 213 weapon because i rolled back to rogue like 2 weeks ago

anyone know if we use shadowcore oil and phantom fire potion or sharpening stones and agi pots for ST??
theyre all super close doesnt really matter
but if youre doing the venthyr pot cheese on pull you probably wanna phantom fire
and if you arent and dont like variance just use stones and agi
mmk tyty
no worries
tyvm
1% M SLG wipe

!bis
hows my stats looking?
fine
that's a dumb thing to aim for
haste*
magic numbers have helped no one
Don't listen to whoever told you that
lol ok, im still not used to not stacking mastery
What's optimal stats iyo?
all my sims keep goping haste/crit
so now after re simming cuz i just got 2 peices haste my most needed now and then crit again
haste and crit are usually good for ST, crit and mastery for AOE. vers is always decent
so in M+ what do you aim for? just much crit mastery you can get? wouldnt that make us lack on boss
I highly suggest the pins, lots of good information in there, and I'm definitely not biased because I'm the guy who wrote them or anything
Lame
I go for as much crit as I can get and an equal mix of haste and mastery
There's no one right way to do it, it's just personal preference
that feeling when you get passed up on SLG shoulders because a boomie wants to "upgrade" from his vers/mastery 220's to 233 crit/vers shoulders...
I mean.. thats a 13 ilvl upgrade
yeah, i'm also using 220's
and they're actually BiS for me, they are not for him, I'd wager a pretty penny that 220 mast/vers sims higher
but boomie feelycraft
super feelycraft and probably incorrect
yeah you'd be incorrect
is Zoldy lego good in Blood council progress?
idk maybe :9
not really, would use doomblade
Zoldycks decent for niklaus 0-50 burn
yup cause we struggling 10% less ๐ฆ
but im doing decent single target damage so i guess doomblade is fine
Doomblades fine ye
council just single target
OK so as much haste as possible, thanks
that's actually just not what that means
You ever use raidbots bossman
Top Gear is real good for finding out what gear to where
also droptimizer
Stat priorities are a thing of the past just use a sim
!wa
noice. just simmed it, my boomie guildmate lost .1-.2% dps going from 220's to 233's, I would have gained .5-.6% Pog
were you saying I would be incorrect that his 220's sim higher than the 233? Because I simmed it ๐
i mean i can show ya the sims, unless i drop the IQD down to never proc he's losing dps on them. and if i did that, i would gain even more from them than him :S ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Did you also sim gems/enchants?
Because IQD relies on having your 2 best stats as highest
Changing one piece can mess that up.
yep
could just link the sim
sounds unlikely that a 13 ilvl upgrade would be a dps loss
without his simc how do i go about simming all his gems? they could certainly be wrong
you can just convert an armory to simc input nowadays
but this is no longer sin conversation so should probably take to pm's
Hey so I'm coming back to rogue after a bit of a break. IQD is apparently great for us? I'm just curious why its so good an what is the optimal way to use it? On CD as long as I'm getting a stat buff from it? Line it up with Vendetta? Any advice?
you want to line with vend and get crit from it
coolio! thank you so much!
np
Just use gear compare and just change one of the vers gems to mastery.
IQD is big dam and it works wonders with the MA talent.
if i knew the secret i would tell you 

my guild reprogging xymox apparently, ruined a good parse for me 

okay so question. I was pumping hard on sludge with Elab plan and Vigor. I went with it cause even Non PI logs are running it. When did it overtake blindside and deeper on ST?
Is it just cause sludge is a short fight?
ye also i see it on multiple other ST fights
yeah it doesn't ever overtake on pure ST
@balmy condor I kinda want you to look through this log and see where I could improve but I'm also scared to expose myself as a fraud
what aabout darkvein?
darkvein isn't ST
you'd take it on cleave. huntsman, inerva, probably SLG but i played outlaw
that kind of thing
sire too if it's farm
yeh those people are clowning
yep
but they are rank 5 xD
so?
parses are like 10% correct talents
no like, i have 0% confidence that's the right pick for pad
HB?
ohhh you can pad really hard p1 lol
i mean i dont see any top players running hb
point is, talents matter less than playing well
well that guy got PI plus necro owns p2 dam and that prob when he got pi
well if you want to count that out I think just like 2 ranks below is a venthyr with HB and no PI
if I recall correctly
true
meme talent but if you play good you can parse
i'm enjoying the PB% going down every week lol
and if you look at esra's CT it was 12% of his dmg. pure breakdowns don't really work out well.
my point is, EP isn't better on 1 target. doesn't mean you can't parse with it though.
ye ye
i want to try to play assa in m+ this week because of the r.io challenge, which talents are the play and is doomblade or MA leggo viable? dont have zoldyk
zold is just the play xD
if you won't make zoldyck MA is fine
MA though
i wouldn't do doomblade
No doomy in m+
I play Doomblade in M+ because I lack another leggo. Itโs fine for me, big boss damage
I think I'm refreshing my bleeds early a lot 
Don't.
:)
and talents? still poison bomb?
No
Always CT
EZ log review

CT all the way
okok
And EP and Subt
yepyep
NS MFD with MA.
is it actually better with MA
Ah ye thatโs true
was under the impression they were equal
No
welp
ah
Canโt disagree with Cev
any special conduit? im necrodude
Does anybody ever?
occasionally ๐
i'll go through it too if you wanna link
with the added bit that i'm not necro and can't help with sbs
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/brYhXDft9dPN6pKA/#fight=last&type=casts&source=12 have it, see that I'm a fraud who gets fed PI 
also I'm most def not optimizing my SBS for sure
shadowgrasp 
i guess it's on the ground and not based on you
prolly fine, initially i was like wait
its a big radius so I just pop it on pull cause we lust "farm" bosses. You know farm bosses we wiped multiple times 
open with sbs (:
Magic
lmao
I saw a wrath hitting the boss and just bone spiked
I mean, looks great. Dump SBS during Gemstones and you're gucci
so its just gemstone optimization then?
everything else was fine
it was a good parse, but I also got 2 PIs so I'm kinda iffy about trusting the %
Hello fellow sins
Yeh, wouldn't count that. Could be result of boss parryibg a finisher and not noticing it and using Muti.
Happens to me sometimes as well
Ye
fucking parry CTs
It's annoying xd
Best slot to craft Doomblade? I've seen gloves on top players, mainly due to CN shoulders? (This is for PvP mainly)
Parrying CT is the worst because it eats up your combo points. On Env it doesn't.
yep, exactly that. if you won't have access to those either slot is fine
Ye pretty much. I'm on mobile so I could be missing something, but the essentials look great.
and idk man, the shiv parry is tilting beyond belief. run it front to CT all the adds, see the parry
fall off your chair
ty @limber lion and @low girder 
np, ye everything else looks good
is WPS a necro thing? spoiled by lashing 
wasn't sure how sudden fractures is on ST
I simmed it before hand and it was a 83 dps gain over playing WPS + fractures
SF is solid ST
cuz of gemstones me thinks
i just meant WPS vs fractures
interesting
it is super close but SF is just better when you add targets so
probably the difference of having a 213 WPS vs 200 fractures
ye probably
I'm always so sketched out about sharing logs because I know there are times where I just brain fart all over my keyboard and I'm just sad
and I hate to waste people's time, ya know? esp if I knew I did the wrong thing
i mangled a couple of the p2 cds tonight dw 
when you garrote in the MA window
YIKES
residual ptsd from when zine used to roast tf out of me
So whats the method to post the big dam on Huntsman/Darkvein. Just garrote the adds with a poison up to give more energy gen? Or do we commit ruptures to those targets too
throw garrotes and ruptures up on the big adds, probably wouldn't bother on the small ones
at least on darkvein, they live for like 5s
yeah huntsman definitely keep all dots up on dogs
My guild takes Bargore to the far ends of the universe for that entire second phase. I won't be able to keep bleeds up there without losing huge uptime. Sad
That is indeed sad
dot it up and 
that it comes back to re-up bleeds
and pray your DHs actually do things
like grip
What's the max amount of actions you can get out of Subterfuge? Is it 3 or 4? I just wanna know if ping is affecting me or not lol
that's what I thought ty
yes
I would sprint and reapply bleeds and shadowstep back. It's a huge dps loss not to do that and the 2s of running is nothing in comparison
Doing that without step/sprint/door/soulshape can be awful though
Does Mutilate take Offhand Weapon Dmg into Account?
wdym
If you make sure you have Vend available for the Huntsman vulnerability window you'll pump huge dam.
Mutilate do two separate attacks for mainhand and offhand
thank you ๐
if you play with blindside you have to make dog your primary targets when they are below 35% as well
for mutilates*
unless boss is also at 35% ofc
Can anyone tell whatโs a decent uptime for garrote rupture and CT for a full dungeon? M+
depends how you're counting
That being said, you shouldn't use Blindside on 2T.
I switched to EP and Vigor (still questioning this choice) for my most recent run and found it to be a considerable improvement on my previous runs.
Over using Blindside
As you should.
i'm not changin talent 10 time in a single raid tbh
