Oh I misread
maximum cheese isn't cool
this must be the best strat for rogue parse consider it
hard pass for me
But it’s trash
if it was good in classic/bc its still good now

he onto something....
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
Stop.
i picked up the thistle tea anima power in torghast one time and i immediately forgot about it
but imagine if u remembered...
i probably still would not have used the thistle tea
I actively avoid the power
i never understood how come its a tea what made rogue and tea a thing
that feels more monkish
If I see it, I’m not taking it
it was a one off one tbh and i was like "why not"
How much energy over x seconds would it have to be to be even useful?
Yeh, maybe we should drink poison and kill ourselves instead.
thistle tea is an item from vanilla, that's why it's a thing
I use it to be alert and have a crisp, sophisticated beverage 🍵
cev im always here for u if u need someone to speak to
does it not share cds with agi pot?
it do be
It does
F
Yeah it does probably close to nothing in actual real PvE encounters. Can be fun in wPvP, but ultimately it's just for funsies.
yeah but u can be the guy who thistle tea'd
I will not let the fun police 🚓 take all my fun away
like im the guy who had wound poison on an slg kill prob the only log of all time
forever to be memorialized
what if you press them both fast enough so blizzard doesn't know you've already used a pot
that could work
Whispyr currently missing when this disc was dead prior to 9.0.5
i remember when blizzard mentioned a reworked crimson vial system and people thought we might get thistle tea back 😦
CV with mixable addins for self buffs would be sweet
yeah dude i pop evasion
so it slaps you and you die
literally rogue raid cd
Heard Ion was talking about rogue's utility for raid in the interview. I wonder.....
thats what im sayin...
yeah thats how i want blizz to give rogue raid utility, not a slight dmg reduc or a slight dam increase, i want to break all potential fight mechanics
i really hope they make rogues viable for mythic progression again
Have you guys been using the pick pocket buffs for crimson vial that they added in the rework prior to launch?

theyre viable right now
more viable*
I hate this channel
I believe in 7.2 they said something like rogue's utility for raid is their own survivability.
Aw thanks boo
We already have thistle tea as assassination it's called vendetta
does flowi still play
he does
👼
i do wonder if theres any chance theyll throw whatever crimson vial rework they had planned into future patches or if they just dropped it entirely
hear me out ok raid cd called buddystep 3 min cd i press it and all my buddies get one charge of shadowstep to use
What if my class identity is a hobbit and i want a second breakfast thistle tea, so I drink one after vendetta
100% they forgot about the vial rework
whats the vial rework
They planned to give vial different usages abilities based on what, pick pocket?
Lol
You pick some pockets, then vial goes brrr
Pick pocket some addin from different mobs, I may be misremembering but it never even hit a server to test
what if they give tricks of the trade target a cloak on a 3 min cd bro...
im makin plays tricksin my boys
that sounds like an interesting mechanic which means blizz definitely isn't adding it
Guys in 4+ should I FOK + crimson then let the crimson bleed tick and then refresh or should I just spam!
idk i cant play with ct cause i dont know the opener ill let someone else handle this 1
well it seemed like it was a guarenteed system because they announced it with the likes of warlock curses coming back, paladins auras, etc.
Weave in additional ruptures garrotes and envenoms
What opener?
it doesnt sim better for a fight such as huntsman btw
or let me rephrase
how can u say it sims better
what is the cirumstance you would use a one h instead of dagger in off hand
im new to rogue
u need 2 daggers
That's blasphemy all we use is daggers
i swear i have seen people with a 1h off hand
i know i have seen outlaw with a dagger off hand for sure
@fallen arch which WA pack do you use? mine dont track pandemic
Sin=two daggers.
and likewise with sub?
The Luxthos one. It makes bleeds light up in pandemic range so u know when to refresh
A while ago sub would sometimes use weird offhands with a dagger mh to satisfy the backstab requirement, but that was several expansions ago
Outlaw = 1h MH/1h or dagger OH
Sub = dagger MH/dagger or 1H OH, but dagger is better because of secret techniques and how sub generates CPs
my wa's light up no matter what at like 8 seconds so i just let it rip
For me personally? Treating it as a true 2 target fight isn't great because Barghast isn't in the whole time and our comp has crazy cleave, which I feel most groups probably do so that 1st and 3rd dogs melt, I'd rather get more finishers in for PB procs.
I sim it as cleave add and PB comes out ahead.
@silent stratus
prob not the best but its what i do
i shall look into luxthos wa's though i use afenar
and afenar's fr fr do not pandemic shine
they do
i swear mine always shines no matter what at 8 seconds
Is Sin the best rogue spec for raiding?
Confusion also comes from pvp where sub players will often pick an offhand entirely based on stats, because they're not in combat long enough for the speed and shadow technique procs to matter
might have to update its been a few years
prolly
For most bosses, yes
Currently.
Does anyone know how many ruptures you wanna keep up on multi target (4 target available)
In that case 4.
ok what about if there are 4 targets ok you rupturing the 3rd target and u gotta build up to rupture the 4th but shiv comes up do u hold shiv until u build and rupture 4th target or let it rip 🤔
You shiv
Shiv on cd every time yep
do you wanna shiv ur prio in case there is a main boss and a lot of adds? (ex: shades of huntsman)
@fallen arch cheers mate
Raid encounters are a bit different than m+.
Yes of course lmao
You want to shiv on cooldown, regardless
i love full sending
yes I'm talking about raid
I guess shiv prio, go back rup adds, and then back to prio
Yes exactly.
i also full send envenoms im clippin all day i refuse to wait must go fast high apm player
If there's 1 target that lives for 3s
from what ur saying
If shiv is up, you shiv
You don’t “build ruptures” on shades in the huntsman fight
You can
yes, my point was if I have to shiv instantly when it comes instead of build rup -> shiv -> full prio
You can maybe throw out a 2-4 cp rupture
im thinkin of fights like sire denathrius when all the cabalists out
the shades lasted ~5 secs in my group, so I sbs -> rup them
and im running around having a field day
That’s holding shiv
Yes.
and shiv come up
You Shiv, you don't wait.
If they last 5 seconds DONT rupture
clear, thanks
last day someone suggested me to 2-3cp rupture
for inerva small adds
If it’s like 10 seconds sure

idk how to parse inerva

Shouldn’t be dotting things that low
it doesnt work for me bro
If you’re hitting them, you would envenom
Why?
Because the Doomblade bleed double dips.
Because doomblade interacts weirdly with the dmg inc
Is that still not fixed
Double dippers
Nope
Yep
omg ty for the hot tip
Same with huntsman at 10%
What a fucking scam
Yep
Nice to know
i will now skyrocket dps
Doom blades 😎 📈
Omr have you ever said something of value
why are u bullying me lol
can u explain this doomsblade thing?
I’m just curious after watching you meme into the void for the last 15 minutes with no response
Omr do u want help with inerva parsing?
im literally just chattin
?? i asked a questino about a scenario i didnt know the answer to and u answered it
You do everything normal, but instead of Mutilating Huntsman, you Mutilate the Shades. So you still use CT/Rup/Gar/Env normally.
if you're having a bad day dude dont take it out on me
CT/Rup/Gar/Env huntsman and mutilating shades?
Yes
God, the martyrdom is real.
And Barghast @silent stratus
and I guess no rup/gar on shades if they last <10secs
Just don’t bleed them

what exactly is the double dip doomblade bug with damage amps?
Sec I’ll find it
thanks
its ok i wont take it personal whispyr we can both move on from this transgression with a clean slate
next time dm me
But mr officer why did you pull me over? I wasn’t speeding for those 200 meters over there, nevermind the last 10 km where I’ve been going 170 in a 100
name a law i broke!!!
Doomblade's bleed is % of Mutilate's damage. The damage amplification increases your Mutilate's damage, which in turn also increases your Doomblade's damage - which then gets the damage amplification added on top of it.
mr officer u need just cause!!
This is from pushnoir
You’ve literally just been here trolling
are you questioning me boi
pew pew dead
This is a graph that shows doom blades damage @grave dock
i havent been trolling
that is hilarious
huntsman is already a buggy fucking mess in terms of parsing to begin with
Ye
Eh, it's not that bad.
no, it's bugged
So anything that adds a % increase gets that then @limber lion ?
Everyone’s dps goes up by like 400 at the end of the fight at least
the broken bond debuff is not supposed to happen on mythic
i do actually
Currently yeh.
if you don't get the debuff, however, you're cooked
everyday before raid i look up nukkz logs cause i think hes a great rogue with hot parses
Just send your log
Do things like prides in M+ or venth vials etc or just raids we know of?
If u want help
ok i dm u
im afraid of being bullied again by community figures
Who knows, you shouldn't be playing Doomblade in M+ to begin with.
Bro don’t agitate Whispyr please
Nah never do just curious how deep it goes
I guess env at 4-5 btw
or doomblades bug makes it mut > env lol
so just to make sure i'm following this, as one example: doomblade makes mut do an additional 45% bleed damage. let's say the damage amp is 100%. so mutilate hits twice as hard, so now the doomblade bleed is effectively 90% of your normal mutilate damage. that 90% damage is then modified again by the 100% damage amp?
yes
lmao
Pretty much
excellent work
I don't remember the last time it was a big issue but you're usually more in the numbers trenches
nerd
It never was a big issue
But in legion with ago and/or lego ring we had so many different iterations of this
this tier does have an unusually high amount of dmg amp on fights
yea
sad that it doesn't work on sludgefist
The doomblade dot is still quite small.
i'm trying to think of amp mechanics in nighthold and I can't remember any
Draught
Ago with the doomblade tier
oh yea
It lingered a fair time but was eventually fixed
I don't think bosses had any mechs like that though
na
it was a good looking tier set too
It was mostly them missing whitelists with ago poison
and such a good raid
Legion raids were nice
remember that time fok on cd was best in slot dps
give kyric my regards
I dunno, all this talk about "rogue needs raid utility" and "Sin m+ meta" makes me feel like people will actually expect competent things from me.
Doubt
I’m also fairly sure fire is still crazy even after the nerf
ss was so cool
does "recuperator" work with assa, since we're never casting SnD?
ye
thanks mate!
a pin for everything
i love recup cause my healers refuse to heal me so its actually relevant for me
we're rogues and therefore of no use - of course we're not getting any heal^^
can u imagine this in p3 sire... https://puu.sh/HCjdf/22195358ea.png
not even one rejuv bro..
they’re doing you dirty
hey, which conduit you guys use for m+ as assa? im necrodude
Sudden Fractures for everything
when I'm simming to compare covenants it's always the SBS one
It's quite close to the Shiv one but since Fractures is better for multi-target, not much reason just not to use it
how much do u need to do to outdps hungering destroyer mechanic
does anyone who's been on the ptr have an idea if venthyr is still going to be ideal in 9.1? i read the pin but i'm not sure what exactly it means 
i know nothing is certain until 9.1 actually goes live but i'd like to have an idea of whether my anima grinding is going to end up being worthless next patch
venthyr looks to still be slightly ahead of necro in single target
necro obviously winning on anything more than 1
gotcha
i'm planning on mostly raiding on my rogue so single target will most likely be my priority c:
thanks!
oh for sure!
i'm venthyr right now though so it's nice to know i most likely won't need to switch covenants
For raiding bosses are not always single target, they in fact rarely are tbh
yeah that's fair too
Venthyr will also get the potion shit tho
Always few adds here and there, stuff like that
ooh
i'm still gearing since i just started playing wow again a month ago and only just started playing my rogue again last week 
that theotar potion seems like trash ngl
just gotta stack the pots on non-raid days and you can have one sick raid night
can swap off theotar for raid too 
or trade them to your friends
unless they fixed that
WTS theotar flask 10k

because it only lasts 1 hour
with a 1 day cd
Best*
theotar basically has no capstone trait with that
Yeah which is why you go nadjia
but nadjia is bad in m+
Because you get the potions and then swap off
he's just a swapoff cheese soulbind for raid now
it doesn't afaik
i think the design of it is abysmal
Is this with necro leggo or just baseline
fuck everyone who wants to play theotar as an actual soulbind
Theotar gang, get this man
Atleast theotar is potion simp, draven is just nonexistent
draven is a good tank soulbind at least
venthyr has had dogshit soulbinds since release and this is just the icing on the cake
theotar is one of my favorites character wise so it's kinda sad that his soulbind isn't that good
agreed
baseline
draven's even worse 
until 9.1
then at least tanks will run him
jk our blood dk runs him already 
Hey ass's, considering trying out assassination for the first time and have a quick legendary question.
I currently have MOMA crafted and sufficient soul ash to craft Doomblade. Does it make sense to start learning the spec and trying it out with MOMA and holding off on crafting Doomblade until we see how PTR shakes out with leggo's?
Appreciate any insights.
we have no indications that our legos are going to change
For doomblade stats we want Crit Vers or Crit Haste? ( asking as in Pinned msg it says, it should have same stats as SLG shoulders)
the pins say the stats on legendary shoulders are equal to the stats on legendary hands, which is why there is no difference
all sin lego's for pve are haste/crit
wait hold up we could have been calling MA leggo mommy this whole time
The covenant specific leggo's looking pretty bad at this time? Good info, thank you
If you plan on playing arena where doomblade is good in 3s and most 2s, haste/verse is also a good option
I have a pin on it
Any good sin rogue streams or rogues in general you recommend
RyfieTV
@warped temple is okay I guess, he doesn’t CT single target though
Whats the best stats for mommy leggo? 
bfa habits 
Memes aside, he’s really good

Best stats are whichever papers are cheapest on the AH
Vers/mastery doomblade then. Gotcha
secondary stats in SL 
Just for you I CT once a fight on bosses now. 🐒
Meme about secondaries all you want but the difference between good ones and bad ones is like 1000dps in 226 gear
Perfect thanks
I'm missing 3 pieces for full 226 still 
Necklace, offhand, gloves and trinkets 
I mean, I don't think the practical difference is that high. In terms of like, many stats are pretty much non-negotiable due to specific gear drops
I still wear the helm I got on my first sire HC kill lol
me too kojack, cuz it came socketed
same haha
fucking december
2021 curve here 
whats the APL for CT? use on cd min 2+ targets?
yep
also fwiw, changing all my gems/enchants to Mastery and my legendary to Vers/Mastery
Is less than 1% damage
🤣
I noticed that as well
Sure but that's just gems+enchants
Sure but like the difference between legendary BiS stats and WiS stats is 0.3%
What if you changed all of your gear to vers/mastery gear where applicable
It's not anything worth getting overly stressed about
Then you would be weird
Like sure, you're right that obviously we want to aim for Haste/Crit when possible on pieces if we can
I still swap out 6 gems every time I change content for no reason than useless optimization
Just saying it's not really catastrophic
I'm sure if everyone ran their stat weights and posted it right now they'd all be close on weight if we averaged it
To have a couple things non-optimal
Haste was my best until this week now it's 3rd
RIP
Same actually but not by much
Stat weights are volatile, even changing a couple gear pieces can dramatically change them when they are this close
1.69.. nice
do I have enough time to get last row of bonesmith in 21 hours? before my next raid? 
Easily
And even in this case where Haste isn't my best
Like Sire+Darkvein ring are still BiS for me
So that's just why you have to top gear it
It does feel bad taking off either of those
inerva ring sims the best for me on all specs even if I have the Xymox vers ring
My general rule of thumb so far has just been "gear for Haste, gem for Crit" and it seems to be working out OK 😛
good thing I socketed that ring
Both inerva and sire rings are downgrades for me according to droptimizer
What rings do you have?
Which doesn't make much sense but whatever
Strange
Bloodbath makes sense. I'd imagine you have high haste though
17%
Then again I'm Necro so dunno how things are looking for Venthyr
Yeah I'm necro as well
as venthyr*
Odd
strange as necro
Nothing been close to Sire ring for me
IQD mastery proc feels ok
I can't play sin on SLG because I'm assigned to drop dps cooldowns on 2nd goliath 
it dies faster than 20 sec
I don't see the correlation
Necro IQD
does not care for stats
meanwhile swapping one gem for IQD as venthyr
would be like 50 dps loss
as necro it was irrelevant for me
2nd goliath? Like in P1?
yep
I don't think we ever used any particular cooldowns on that one.. usually it died too fast rather than the other way around lol
we haven't passed first transition yet 
But either way, P1 damage is not that big of a deal on SLG
In terms of which spec to run
Both Outlaw and Assassination will look like zero dps compared to most specs in P1 😛
yeah, once we get it done properly
for now the other law rogue is topping meters
but wipe meters don't say much
I honestly think nowadays that Assassination is just straight better than Outlaw on SLG nowadays. But don't tell the Outlaw guys I said that.
it's more stuff to think about
hey atleast you guys didn’t have to play ur dk for slg 🙂 🙂 🙂
like ads die to fast so it's wasted ruptures
we killed last night tho so i’m finally free
is there some bug with slice and dice on WCL?
100% agree!
or was there?
Assassination does so much more boss/Goliath damage than Outlaw
And still does decent AoE if you take CT
No
no slice and dice in this log
But I don't think I'd play Outlaw on it nowadays
Precast
same i did outlaw prog farm sin
how do you precast slice on sludge
gonna try a pull with vendetta on boss but focus on 2nd goliath as I'm assigned to see if I can do well still. I guess the idea is for the ad to die fast, not to waste 50% of my cooldowns on a target that dies too fast
omg cheaters
all buffs drop when u start encounter right?
oh it's this log, I think they pulled huntsman wing trash
nope
No
alright
there are critters in Huntsman rooms
I mean if you tunnel the Goliath you'll be top damage on it easy
Why would buffs drop when you start encounter
don't waste all
Vendetta or not
yep
gonna try tomorrow a bit
skirmishers die so inconsistently that I'm not even sure if it's worth dotting them
yeah like
just CT
go full pad ct on commandos
we have hunters for those
I vendetta on the first goliath and still am top damage on the 2nd
the only goliath i'm not top damage on is the first
because everyone else has their CDs up
i do vendetta boss vendetta goliaths then vendetta boss last phase
fucking monks 
vendetta 3rd goliath with commandos?
the beginning of p2 goliath is our little plaything cutie
yep

absolute blast it
👏
anything so I don't play outlaw 
Doing Mythic Raid tonight, do I 21% haste, do i go Deeper Strat or Vigor? Vigor felt good in heroic, idk
Necro
better sim it
vigor feels very nice :)
feels like it flows a bit more smoothly

I should prob pool more energy for env but im like
@fleet anchor here's my sim where sire and inerva rings are downgrades https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hGcWySLQ4RF6JGCZLBxB65
I like vigor with EP myself 🙂
naw lets fuckin rip
oh, thanks
not used to having socketed rings 


well, that's the benefit of world first raiders
they don't need to farm the maw
because they clear the content before they get 2 sockets 
inerva is +9 and sire is +23
not bad
yeah the maw is more useful for non w1 raiders because you need the extra stats to make up for lack of skill 
when you're nearly all 226 and not reclearing, sockets are some of the only upgrades you can get on gear
so im not gonna get benched for someone just as good as me with sockets
pretty sure any good player can outskill the value of the sockets, but I still feel bad when I have "bis" gear and I don't have it socketed
ahhh fair enough bro
plaguefall dps doesn't matter anyway because of borers
but what about the fact that u went doomblades for tyrannical boss dmg
and still had lowest dps on the final boss?

haha
because i used my vendetta on the pride like a good boy

Good boys get good vaults
youre fourth on the interrupt meter
maybe ur not as good of a boye as u think
thats why

anyone got a mouseover sbs macro
Do you use necro shield proactively or stand in tornadoes?
i don't get to fleshcraft as much as i'd like because i'm always trying to move ahead of the tank to garotte silence shit
that's because we let mages, hunters and dh's get their resources from intrerupting 🙂
pins in #outlaw
2nd message I think from pins
#1 on its. Have to use blind to interupt my group is so bad
that's the thing it's best for lol
same
gonna compensate for no gauge
this may be a dumb question, but when talking about secondary DR at 30%, does it mean only stat u get from gear or also baseline stat count? in other words if i have 10% base crit, do i hit diminishing when i add 20% to it or when i add 30?
any rating
Also true. Been running as law just for gouge
so if you have 1000 crit, and that's the limit until the first dr, and then you get a stat proc from like a trinket for 300, that 300 is DR'd
the 1000 is still fine
and % increases don't DR either
it's just raw rating
I know Oshosi
ok but for example just to clarify, on my rogue i got 25% crit, 14% is from gear 11% is baseline of the spec
What's leg sweep and ring of frost?
2nd is a talent
if i add another 5% i will have put around 19% crit on my gear but my crit will be over 30%, so it gets dr at a lower rating compared to say haste which you have no basiline of?
monk aoe stun and mage incap
yep
thanks
procs and stuff from soulbinds or trinkets
which are "grant X crit" would DR
"grant X% crit" would not
Council question. Are you saving any sbs charges or dumping on boss?
im not a math guy but if all my gems sim between 1% of each other isnt it always bis in slot to go crit gems to rng a parse since you only get one shot one opportunity
best in slot in slot
smh my head
just somethin to think about
but if we think that way, vers and mastery are guaranteed damage increase 
ok BUT this is abotu ONE pull no matter what if u crit absurd amount u parsin high why not give us a bit more of an edge...
yeah, it's the same thing that happened in BFA, most top parses were expedient but you had a few lucky guys with twisted appendage
think outlaw might be better suited for u so you can 6 buff rng parse.... here in #assassination we in it to win it every pull
lol
who can forget the times when top parses for sin were who procced pb the most
definitely not rng based
haste amplifier corruption
crit is the new poison bomb...

we don't really have that much rng in damage
if someone crit 50% and u crit 30% he gon lap u
It's actually the other way around, you go vers and mastery for the one pull where you god roll 100% crit so you do more damage with those crits

u know actually you're right
Take my Sire ring off before going into the Maw so that I don't ruin my day more than I have to
haste gems are like the beta gems
cause its like yeah these are the average gems
but we want chad gems like vers and mastery
I bought a stack of 20 Crit gems the 2nd week of the xpac and I'm still working through them 😄
Commit!
I've got 14% vers with full vers sockets 
Pvp?
I don't
Damn son
I guess that's a good source of vers gear
I have 8% as assa
isnt 14 low for pvp
haha
I was just swapping gear around to see how much I can stack
what about with verse food
that's like 2 sockets
and then go on ptr and try flag buff

this is me in my raid gear... https://puu.sh/HCkTE/bf8aee5f0d.png

zoldyck's legs on rank 4
Not much left for me 😦
does anyone ever randomly get their target switched? im 99% sure its not me fat fingering tab
what could it be
how much haste and how much crt does it give?
omg double 233
probably more than 2
uh that much?
neah
Actually triple 233 😛
that's ring rank 2
cuz i got mine to rank 3 so i'm trying to guess how much i have left
WHERE'S YOUR RIO KOJI
RIO? As if I've done any M+ in the last 2 months 😄
@safe barn
As soon as I started getting Sire GV loot I gave up M+
im just nosy and rio have all the links

Ohhh just 4 then, not as much as i thought it would be

i'm gonna start on denny tomorrow and was guessing how much impactful would be
What a chad
bro do u even know what kojiyama means


ur actually a fucking god
Even when I don't play Assassination I play Assassination
insane
koji was like "outlaw the meta for slg? fuck this"
haha I did get my first kill on SLG as Outlaw
First 2 kills probably
is feral druid that close to rogues?
Feral plays very much like Assassination yes
yep
it’s close to sin
i wanted to play one but really, cat form makes me feel ashamed
yep it has combo points and stuff
I was a Feral main for quite some time

I went Rogue at the end of Legion
in true assassination fashion I made my feral druid venthyr
For ToS+
week 14 of koji ignoring me 
If sin had stayed shit I probably would've played feral ngl
What's the question? I didn't rally follow
@hollow escarp this you?

i stole this pic from here yesterday to shit post in my guild cord lmao
Feral is great tbh, I just got frustrated with only having 1 melee spec and being at the mercy of bad or good tuning
I enjoyed it a lot
Rogue is a lot more flexible
what kanji would u spell ur name with
or is it just a "sounds cool" type of vibe
just leveling, the druid is only 57, but I wanna get 1 class on each covenant by the end of the expac 🙂
Uhh it's really old, goes back to my Phantasy Star Online days when I had to register a Sega JP account
I've got it somewhere lol
I think 小路山 is the typical surname Kanji for it
Yeah something like that
I had to pick a random name to register, so a bit of a pun since my class name given to me by my teacher was Hideo.. so it was a little bit of a Hideo Kojima pun 😛
Yes we were all given Japanese class names, our teacher liked doing that 😛
koji, do you recommend CT for deny prog?
ohhhhh u took japanese class
I think it actually helps with P2 a lot
ye it helps alot with p2
And the loss in P3 is very minimal
because remornia damage is sire damage
PB value gets a little messed up with the movement
it's also good for some pad damage in P1
PB probably technically still marginally better for P3 but like
Personally I've been running CT+Blindside for Sire
not really pad considering how ads don't die as fast as they do in HC
And I don't think it's inting or anything
with all the movement u can lose a lot @fleet anchor
from what ive heard
in terms of PB dmg
Think CT+Blindside is rather solid for Denny these days
yeppers
As long as you're still prioritizing CT usage for boss damage
ep is beta
i never get the value of that 3s
all the dots during EP hit harder
that's why it's preferable in M+
u can easily fit envenoms into that window depending on how many bleeds you have up as well btw
not only that though
and melees are hitting harder too
is Shadowgrasp Totem really as good as its simming? Or is it bait? I only ask, because it's not really showing up as a highly used trinket on Warcraft Logs.
shadowgrasp totem is really good
most top logs have denny/sludge trinkets 
dreadfire is great
ep vigor sims very close
on singletarget
btw
its like a 11 dps difference for my profile
not sure if EP on long single target fights is that good
It is good
Most people don't have a high ilevel one
I have a GV one and use it regularly, it's strong
maybe fix that it seems you aren’t min maxing
EP and Vigor are almost 1:1 tradeoffs atm
However for Sire obviously Blindside has more than normal value in practice
I think running EP on Sire is 100% parse strat and kinda inting for prog
for P3 mostly
thank you, I got a 226 one this week and in sims it replaces my 220 Dreadfire Vessel. I just wanted to be sure since most of the logs didnt have it, but I suppose its just harder to get a high ilvl one.
CT is waaaay less of a ST loss than EP, and that's even across the entire fight not just execute
EP is like -2-3.5% or something, CT is only like -1-1.5%
100%
Which means in P3 EP is like probably -5% or more
plus i guess having the "control" of the ambush is a great bonus
CT with PB proc loss due to movement is probably less than 1% in P3
how long is p3 usually
So taking CT imo is basically just free on Sire
idk how long but i guess that's the most important one
But I'm sticking with Blindside for a while more
Blindside is still really strong on Sire

is there a way i can filter the "first kill" parses?
cuz in the front page all i see is parse hunt
i didnt even know u ct on st :o
It's like 10 for me
3 min execute patchwerk @safe barn @fleet anchor
mythic aoe poisons deadly or instant
ty
We should get the utility ones combined too imo

But yeah it is really quite funny on reflection. HFC Feral was actually insanely close to exactly the same playstyle as current Assassination
I wish we had more types of poison in general
Like almost identical lol
Like in HFC it was essentially the same, just keep up Rake (Garrote) Rip (Rupture) in pandemic, use Tiger's Fury (Shiv/Toxic Blade) to buff DoT damage (had snapshots back then but was almost the same idea) and dump CP with Ferocious Bite (Envenom/Evisc) when you had your DoTs going and were gonna cap energy (pooling to max)
Swipe at 3+ targets just like FoK, Thrash at about the same conditions as CT lol
Even had a set bonus back then to get energy on DoT ticks 🤣
Kinda funny
Assassination definitely is a lot of very similar muscle memory for me
in 9.0 feral was even tuned better than assa 
Yeah ironically Feral has been WAY stronger since I swapped off it
Most tiers
Than it ever was when I played it
can I Feint the Dancing Fever jumps?
I don't remember if Dancing Fever is flagged as an AoE or a DD that hits everyone
Would have to check logs
It's probably AOE
I am thinking of leveling an alt for alt raids and such, do you think if I would enjoy Feral druid if I really enjoy assa?
I have to try it out then 😄
and you can also get to see how rogue would feel with convoke
unless you go feral venthyr like me
Why doesn't rogue night fae ability throw like 12 poisoned knives Sadge
That would be neat
I mean Sepsis was obviously way more powerful at one point
Probably too much so for Rogue mechanics wise
i think you can faint dancing fever if you are not the one that jumps
something like that
I am still night fae because it was so good at the start of shadowlands and haven'
t bothered to swap
When Sepsis proc'd true Vanish it had some crazy interactions, but then none of the other Covenants would have been decent without being MASSIVELY buffed
So our feedback was to remove that interaction
It's just unfortunate it ended up being so boring 😦
Would be a bit more exciting if ambush was worth using from stealth
I think I would have made it so the extra thing from stealth did double damage or something
make that ambush apply a 5cp rupture
I would've liked to see the world where sepsis vanished and the other covenants were also giga
Yeah I mean the problem there is that they had been aiming at the time to depower Covenants
14cp ER finisher 
Not the other way around
I kinda like the 'if everything's op, nothing is' philosophy
But I guess they wanted to reign things in after corruption?
diablo 3 style
I think they could've hit a middle ground by letting the stealth ability from sepsis give you cto/subterfuge/NS/FW at least
It was during the time where the theory was that they were gonna depower the Covenants to make it less likely that one would be massively OP
Problem was that they left a few still massively OP lol
hey if im a necrobro is SBS more prio of a generator than mutilate?
During the gemstones windows
Or during shiv if you're running emeni
You can also do it during shiv with heirmir it's not a huge difference
or to not be capped 😛
If you use the first one on pull out of stealth you won't be capped if you use them in every gemstones
Unless there's aoe
what about lust on pull
I don't think the sim uses them during lust unless gemstones is up
Gemstones is usually up on the pull for the first time
9.1 Assassin pvp- which cov would be best suited for that
