no these are the mastery nonbelievers

Okay, the details go as following: as long as it is going to be an SnD after your opener, we say we're not so considering cp, which makes ambush's damage a better choice against opening with a mut (even with doomblade(you will do muts afterwards and the opening one's dot only does little)). Before your first env, you would do muts for cp and doomblades' dot. In terms of poinson, 9.0 buffed attack from stealth so that they always apply both poisons.

#

If you have MA does that snapshot the dot the entire time?

balmy condor
thorny pond
#

Jesus that would be OP

alpine latch
#

Right?

#

I didn't think it did, but I'm also an idiot

#

So I needed to ask

balmy condor
#

you can NS the dot under some janky conditions

#

but you overwrite the dot the moment you cast a second sbs

#

so it's just not worth

it's even more cursed than I thought turns out

What did I just read peepochrist

charred mango
#

is there a benefit to dumping SBS charges in vendetta over the gemstone window?

#

or is Gemstone the way to go

kind talon
#

its just proof that anyone can get CE

#

gg

royal lantern
#

the hardest part of getting CE

#

is getting into a guild that is cappable of getting CE

#

while playing a class you like instead of FotM rerolling

stoic needle
subtle tundra
#

or straight up buy gold with real money

stoic needle
#

sounds boring

subtle tundra
#

thats not the point

#

literally anyone can get CE

#

thats the point

what potency conduits do i use for m+ as necrolord?

#

Venthyr is the way to go for assassination right ? either M+ or raids ?

whole mason
#

Venthyr and Necrolord

stoic needle
#

venthyr is slightly better for st in raids but worse in M+

#

necrolord is best in M+ and only ~1% behind venthyr for st

plain onyx
#

Im already Necro, should i stay necro for assass ? thought it was better for outlaw.

stoic needle
#

yeah just stay necro

whole mason
#

I believe unless you find yourself not comfortable with Necro as sin you should stay.

#

yo probably the 100th time someone asked but the search doesnt help me, does assa talent MA work with nw weapons?

frail fossil
#

no

clever crow

#

anything else i can do? elaborate planning working?

stoic needle
#

you can give it to your mage

#

woops this is assn

#

god bless, find whatever isn't whitelisted

plain thistle
#

good luck finding that

grand burrow
#

whats the bleed priority on 4-5 targets? garrote over rupture?

dawn ivy
#

garrote on cd and apply ruptures to targets that will live

plain onyx
#

is Zoldyck still good for M+ ?

limber lion
#

Ye

plain onyx
#

This is why im asking.. donno if i should count on blood mallet or no

nimble tartan
#

numbers dont lie

stoic needle
#

That's hectic add cleave

#

We don't sim hectic add cleave

#

Zoldyck is better than bloodfang

#

yo how is the sim results, do you guys have some sims or didint implemented yet etc.?

#

for 9.1

balmy condor
#

Not everything is implemented

#

But the legendaries have a pin

spring root
#

yep yep i read it first day i am checking pings everyday šŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

Pog

spring root
#

did you guys checked boss fights? how much the add fights , cleave fight , st fights?

balmy condor
#

The ones tested so far have been single target

#

But only 2 have been tested

#

So

#

We’re still early in ptr

vestal wren
#

^ 2nd round of raid testing was cancled

spring root
#

yea i know i wasnt following for few days if there is anything new

vestal wren
#

so we atm are in a raid testing limbo

balmy condor
#

Nothing new in the last week

spring root
#

i am very curious about ventyr lego but we will see in the future i guess

balmy condor
#

It seems not great for sin atm

spring root
#

i mean performance*

#

wow

#

really? i was expecting something nice

balmy condor
#

Doomblade and dashing are already quite good

#

It’s hard to catch up to it

vestal wren
#

the only spec that seems to so far benefit from the new legendary powers is subtlety

#

and subtlety has no >5% legendary, while sin/outlaw have those

spring root
#

i am necro boi and i think i ll stay as a necro if ventyr doesnt become really really good for st

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Not looking like any shift for sin

vestal wren
#

lashing is still rly good tho

balmy condor
#

Necro is becoming better for aoe with deathspike

balmy condor
#

So it’s quite close

#

And just stomps in aoe

spring root
#

i like necro cos dot scales with mastery haste versa i think it will catch up with ventyr 9.1 but thats my personal opinion

balmy condor
#

The scaling argument

vestal wren
#

keep in mind that 2nd/3rd conduit are more relevant in 9.1

#

so if you atm only use lashing, it depends how well the 2nd/3rd potency stack up

spring root
#

we ahve shit conduits anyway i dont think thats matter

vestal wren
#

it possibly matters for outlaw

balmy condor
#

Dauntless on venthyr already looks questionable

spring root
#

atleast for assa

vestal wren
#

because outlaw has cto + lashing now

spring root
#

hmm

#

thats right

vestal wren
#

in combinations it only run one of those

spring root
#

i think we will see, thanks for chat goodnight boiz, cya around

dawn ivy
#

ive gotten every covenant except NL to a decent level, i really hate the idea of swapping one more time but i guess its gotta happen soon T.T

stoic needle
#

Or just don't?

#

I'm not going kyrian

#

It's only going to get faster to catch up on renown later on

#

Or maybe you just never switch

#

Why do something you don't want to

nimble tartan
#

my dad said there will be a even quicker catchup mechanic next patch so dont worry about leveling

kind talon
#

Idk why you’re bothering lol

dawn ivy
#

in a guild that is trying to push rank and if im capable of doing it i gotta put the effort in T.T

kind talon
#

But

#

Going kyrian is trolling

dawn ivy
#

i honestly just hate the amount of anima i put into venthyr covenant that i lose if i swap

#

i never said kyrian

#

im talking about going necrolord

kind talon
#

Oh

#

You said every covenant except nl

#

Well

dawn ivy
#

i jumped back into rogue like 3 weeks before sin got giga buffed

kind talon
#

If you’re assa pushing ranking venthyr is fine for now

dawn ivy
#

so i had leveled kyrian, found out nf was actually good, then swapped to venthry when the math and numbers came out

kind talon
#

Are you talking about raid or m+

dawn ivy
#

itll be raid

balmy condor
#

Venthyr is still go to for single target

#

That hasn’t changed

#

It’s still the same thing

#

Venthyr on 1, necro on anything more than that

#

Unless they buff some venthyr shit or the soulbinds are crazier than we think

dawn ivy
#

yeah im still holding onto venthyr for probably a week or two (we still have so much time for next tier), but math wizards keep pushing necro closer and closer to venthyr

balmy condor
#

Such is the way

#

I would wait for soulbinds and tuning to finish honestly

brave vector
#

I’m on my 3rd cov after switching to bone boys yesterday, havent done anything particularly hard but SBS is just a fun button to press

torn atlas
#

I've done all 4. Venthyr favourite cov but SBS is by far the more satisfying ability to use.

#

I guess just cuz some fellers have a high IO doesn't mean they are going to be "decent" in your key lol...zomg

potent rune
#

if u got gold, cant IO be bought?

balmy condor
#

Would have to be an absurd amount of gold

potent rune
#

whales

balmy condor
#

I’m also unaware of any communities that do raw io score boosts

#

So I’m sure it can be bought

#

But the amount of people doing that is probably minuscule

potent rune
#

true

stoic needle
#

there are definitely people buying high key boosts

#

if you buy 1 of each dungeon

#

= io

balmy condor
#

How many people are buying every dungeon

stoic needle
#

the high key boosts seem to be pretty popular

balmy condor
#

Like 90% of people just buy a 15 for their cache and that’s it

stoic needle
#

maybe not as much as the 15s for vault

potent rune
#

yea i dont think whales have any incentive to go beyond +15

balmy condor
#

KSM maybe for achieve but like I don’t see anyone being like ā€œyo how much gold for a boost to 2k ioā€

potent rune
#

for season 2 (9.1) does io get reset to 0?

dawn ivy
#

yes

potent rune
#

ic ty

stoic needle
#

i mean seli apparently does 20+ boosts

#

there's no reason people would buy those but for io

cobalt pelican
#

people buy io somewhat frequently

#

wtf im doing so much more dam today

#

literally cracked

stoic needle
#

not gonna lie

#

divine bell is actually pog on SLG

#

i'm doing more boss, goliath, and commando/skirmisher dmg

kind talon
#

oshosi and i doing more damage?????

#

did assa aura get buffed????????

#

@stoic needle can u confirm

stoic needle

dawn ivy

stoic needle
#

My dream is to get a top parse with bell so dozens of people come in here asking whyspir if it's good or not KEKWW

#

"Guides say bis sin trinkets are Phial and dreadfire but top parse is using instructor's divine bell... Can anyone explain?????1"

potent rune
#

and to that my reply " dunno ask Whyspir"

heavy trail
#

I am horrible at storming but still manage to outperform the last 2 sets of dps on the last few keys I did lol...despite being 202 ilevel vs 215 fellers. Didn't help that the biggest issue are these tanks that don't have a plan. I watched this guy's darkmech videos before each dungeon (1 hour or so long) and it's a tank video but I just study it a bit so I can understand the goals and success factors.

It's amazing how so many tanks that have 1200-1300 (I am 700) don't even see to make use of some small tactics and just suicide pull in a pug or don't even bother to set up a good position strategy let alone an actual great pull route.

potent rune
#

if you use addon mythic dungeon tools, Dratnos has pretty good route each week

kind talon
#

whats up boys

#

literally got trapped

compact pumice
heavy trail
#

@potent rune I saw it's included in the video looks great but that's not going to help as I even sometimes stop for a sec to make rquests in pugs and they just carry on or whatever...on the last TNW 12 the tank tapped out and disconnected and it's because he was fucking embarrassed almost sure of it lol

#

The other issue is you can tell if some of the fellers make mistakes they have extremely low regard for others time simply by KOing the key even if it was their fault and fast before it's even for surely blown.... sorry just venting haha. I am not perfect getting hit by far too many stormings but started to get a ton better at it nowt hat I have done a few

potent rune
#

@heavy trail Im not any better, im hard stuck 1300 io +15 pleb only

#

the dream of being 2k+ lol

I didn’t know hachadino did lobotomies

#

Learn something g new every day

stoic needle

u wot m8

balmy condor
#

Lobotomies usually impair cognitive function

#

And he’s the bell guy

#

So I just assumed he turned you into a vegetable and then forced you to watch bell propaganda until you gave in

#

:)

I got this bell of my own free will

#

and I use it of my own free will

can i cloak upheaval on slg?

stoic needle
#

i think so but i'm not 100% sure

balmy condor
#

You can

stoic needle
#

I used bell tonight and my CT dps on slg went up by 146

balmy condor

If I wait longer with it keep dropping

Holy fuck assass on council feels so useless

You’re boss damage on council

Survival hunter sims 1300 lower than assa in st wtf lol

survival hunter isn't a meme cause it lacks damage

ironically

#

the lack of dam is just salt in the wound for the poor survival hunters

balmy condor
# stoic needle I did no such thing

I spent all of 8.3 telling people to not stack mastery because of infexious, and now I spend all of 9.0 fighting against you stacking mastery

gusty mirage
stoic needle
balmy condor
#

smilers sure sure

stoic needle
#

someone said "this sin player youtuber said to stack mastery" and i literally said no

balmy condor
#

Yep I’m agreeing smilers

does the last partial tick of garrote/rupture give energy?

balmy condor

I don’t believe so

only thing thats wasted is bte uptime

idk if I've ever done that fight and felt "good"

i mean ye idk

I picked up a new ring last night and it unironically simmed better with Mastery enchant so I just blindly follow the sim robot.

outlaw feels way better

#

im not losing 50% of vend

gusty mirage
#

that's what we like to see

#

unless its Ask Mr. Robot

#

then not good man

#

@balmy condor remember that one guy who tried arguing that AMR is useful because it shows you "relevant info" which in reality was just the way they coded their sim?

stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

I just like remembering meme worthy moments

balmy condor
#

The super relevant info of ā€œthis is a magic ability that does some damageā€

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

It’s affected by vendetta

#

Bet you didn’t know that

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

AMR for the win

#

Super useful

Choose your fighter:
Whispyr smps vs mastery smps vs AMR s*mps vs RH mods

I can’t read tooltips

Personally AMR stans get it for me

#

reading's hard peepomad

#

I just realized the mistake in my decision of typing that out peophammer

gusty mirage
#

lmao

#

I CAN'T PICK JUST ONE @spice spire Reeeee

stoic needle
#

tooltips are lies. sims are the devil's work. Mastery is the only truth. prayge

spice spire
#

Listen dog if someone is willing to go so far as to pick WiS they’ve earned my vote. At least mastery could possibly good at some point kekw

#

Doubt tho

it's better than vers for me currently tinfoil_pepe

@balmy condor did u craft dashing

alpine latch
#

Well

#

my damage was shit

#

But I got 2 100% item level parses

#

lol

drifting cloud
#

gratz! but I think that means your dmg was probably not shit unless you did hc at like 200 ilvl

arctic walrus
#

holy shit man grats!!!

#

I started heroic at 169 item level

#

And ended around like 179

arctic walrus
#

that's fucking sick

alpine latch
#

My main is 3/10M. I made a new guild to go horde with some old friends. I got carried hard.

drifting cloud
#

oh well yeah theres probably not that many hc logs at that ilvl

alpine latch
#

Definitely not

drifting cloud
#

from chars that actually dps

#

not just tag boss and afk

alpine latch
#

I pulled a gentlemans 2730 on Sire

#

It was a good first run. I learned a lot to take into next week. Didn't take advantage of MA, refreshed Rupture too early, need ~13% more Garrote uptime. A lot of good takeaways from tonight, so it's not all lost.

nimble tartan
#

hell yeah little improvements like that is what will make u the incredible rogue u deserve to be!

thorny pond
#

Sins and IQD sim the same for me. I assume most here prefer Sins for fire and forget?

balmy condor
#

Given their equivalency, yes

#

If you’re venthyr, try re-gemming and chanting for crit, crit IQD is considerably more valuable for venthyr

thorny pond
#

I just don't have the crit gear to make it my highest stat

#

also a necro bone boi

balmy condor
#

Yeah then it doesn’t matter

thorny pond
#

Sins is just easier to not be upset at my healer for hitting the mana threshold right as I hit IQD

balmy condor
#

Yeh

thorny pond
#

Thank you for the input as always. Helps just putting thoughts into words

balmy condor
#

Any time bud :)

thorny pond
#

6666 sim DPS uwu

drifting cloud
#

you can change on kill timres

#

for example something like 3:30 iqd should destroy any other trinket

#

unless its on a boss where youre gonna give healers mana on 2nd use .. but I think the most serious iqd believer @shy dust said that only happens on like huntsman for his guild

#

and to no execute you just get a macro that deselect target

thorny pond
#

Yea obviously circumstances like that. The mana one comes up a bunch

nimble tartan
#

bro honestly iqd too big brain for me 3 mins with 2 minutes and 1.5 venthyr i cannot calculate

placid dawn
#

i see some people running hidden blades and CT on daddy donny, is that just parse stuff or is it actually better?

#

also, everyone runs doombalde

drifting cloud
#

and since assa wasnt meta until .5 alot of people probably dont even 2 r4 assa legos

#

and ct on sire with zold p3 is a wash at worst with pb, its probably better because of all the moving

#

on just pure st that in execute

nimble tartan
heavy trail
#

Is it on the tank if he pulls stuff without factoring in when prideful is going to spawn? Or should we all be making sure to say something. Also who should be making sure that trash is enough before going up to the last bosses on NW? Keep on ending up with tanks who simply don't seem to pull with direction and and up with both those issues.
Is it OK for tanks to eat stormings or should they be avoiding it also? on my last NW 10 tank had 338k stormming damage, Ret 332k, me 125k, healer/mage each had about 50-60k
Sorry all the dumb qs here just never really did 10+ keys until last week

is it possible that i get a higher sim with that soulbinds insted of double potency on single target??

#

yep

allright that really surprised me, did not expect that one, thought it was some kind of misstake, ty for help šŸ™‚

plain onyx
#

What is the dps difference between Venthyr and Necro, since I used to be Necro on Outlaw and now I switched to Assa. Is it worth the switch to Venthyr ?

lean coral
#

Venthyr for st necro for cleave seems to be the thing but they don't see to be too far apart for st

carmine island
#

i just like more venth cose u have a 1.5 min cd insted of a low cd spell in your rotation

lean coral
#

Probs gonna swap to necro once guild kills Dennis

#

Might also factor in what you want to do more and the fun factor of SBS/Flag and how nice fleshcraft is as well. (Relatively speaking compared to DOS)

Always CT over Envenom at 2 targets?

limber lion
tame moss
#

oh really

limber lion
#

You use CT to apply the bleed, but you don't replace Envenom with it

#

If the targets are already inflicted with CT, you Envenom instead

#

When CT is about to run out (in pandemic range), you would CT again

tame moss
#

Ok so at 2 target envenom unless CT is in pandemic or expired?

limber lion
#

Yes. You still want to have all bleeds on both targets (gar/rup/ct) and if you do, you Envenom

tame moss
#

yep understood

#

What about at one target?

limber lion
#

Making sure never to let the bleeds drop.

#

In Single Target you use Crimson Tempest outside of Shiv windows to apply the bleed

#

But again, Envenom is better if the target already has CT on it.

#

If you use Shiv and the target doesn't have CT, then you only use Envenoms during the Shiv window but after the Shiv window you would apply CT.

tame moss

ok cool, trhank you

that and hp bonus for shield is just awesome ^^

Just legit one shot the last floor boss with bonespike for 390k damage

That's pretty fun

#

how does assassination compare to combat in M+? I'm enjoying it a lot more and thinking as long as the difference is that big i'll stick with it

dark shoal
#

hey bois, any thoughts about Flame of Battle trinket?

limpid quest
#

Good-day! Have a question on flagellation use. Do you click that when you havbe 5 max combo points? should it be ussed on cool down or vendetta?

dark shoal
#

getting good vers every 1m30 seems pretty good to me

limber lion
limber lion
#

Similar to the mastery bell?

dark shoal
#

yup

limber lion
#

You should sim it, that's the only logical way of knowing if it's good or not.

dark shoal
#

203ilvl give me 528vers every 1.5min

#

Ok next question, if i'm mostly doing M+ how is essence of bloodfang legendary?

frail fossil
#

not very good

tame moss
#

is the proc rate not that good? the damage seems fine

#

i imagine with fan of knives it be useful

candid kiln
#

wait Flagellation has a 1,5min cd and Vendetta a 2 min cd i should ignore 30 sec flag to use it with vendetta evertime?

low girder
#

On cooldown unless you won't lose a cast

frail fossil
tame moss
#

What is better?

frail fossil
#

zoldyck

#

dashing scoundrel

#

master assassin

#

so quite a lot of them

tame moss
#

wouldn't master assassin stop you from triple garrote opener?

low girder
#

You play a different build with MA

#

Generally

tame moss
#

understood about the others though

#

switch to nightstalker and open with triple ambush?

low girder
#

You wouldnt be able to triple ambush

#

But you take nightstalker mfd ct and open with mfd ct

#

Zoldyck is the general recommended one because it's slightly better and doesn't change your build

frail fossil
#

yeah

candid kiln
#

so i will use Vendetta on cd as well as Flagellation am i right

low girder
#

Yes

tame moss
#

ok cool, thanks for the info

frail fossil
candid kiln
#

okay thx

like let's say u can only get 2 flag cast in a boss fight

#

then you gonna try to line them up with vendetta

#

since not holding them wont give u more casts

low girder
#

Yep

frail fossil
#

like on short fights like huntsman

last imp
#

oh i forgot to say i got dashing scoundrel from lfr yesterday!

#

honestly it was a really good run compared to a lot of other lfr groups i've been in

#

wiped once on council, once on sludgefist, and once on the one with the portals i can't remember the name of 145_bugsweat

#

xy'mox!

candid kiln
#

in other word if the fight lasted longer then 4:30 i need to use flag 1 time alone

#

and if the fight lasted 6 min i will cast it evertime together

#

longer then 6 min

frail fossil
#

no it means if the fight is short

#

and u know u wont get another flag by not holding it

#

like imagine a 3min fight

#

like no matter what u gonna have 2 flag cast

#

so since u cant have more than 2 flag cast

#

u can line it up with vendetta each time

hey all, looking at the top logs i see a lot of assa rogues running with EP /Vigor over BS/DS, is this mostly a cleave thing or would it be decent in ST as well?

plain thistle
#

its decent for ST, and better for burst (sludg) and better for 2+ targets

#

can be super close or even better if you are playing necrolord too, for ST

charred mango

ah ok

is it weird to not use dbm?

How to track mechanics? On an abacus?

I got used to memorizing mechanics and read them in the journal

Yea but the journal doesn't say at what time x happens, ya know?

manic pebble
#

I learn the hard way

#

I read them and do the real raid a few times

#

took me awhile but it's all good now

thorny pond
#

Just seems like extra work is all. But you do you

balmy condor
#

Yeah agreed

#

You’re just making your life harder

#

But if it works then I guess whatever

thorny pond
#

I've definitely bullied people before into using certain WAs and BW since they were holding the raid back

vestal wren
#

i usually end up dissabling most of the bossmod allerts

manic pebble
#

you can do that?

vestal wren
#

yes

thorny pond
#

Highly customizable

#

Sounds bars alerts etc

vestal wren
#

bigwigs makes it slightly easier but dbm should have options for it too

manic pebble
#

the only thing I don't like is when people using dmb timer to pull and idk when are they starting

#

so I can use dbm disable everything and leave the pull timer on?

thorny pond
#

I guess

manic pebble
#

cool

#

guess I'll use dbm just for the pull timer

vestal wren
#

you don't need dbm/bw to have a pull timere, there are addons and weakauras that can do that if you only want the pull timer

#

but entirely dissabling everything is not a good thing

#

there are usefull things in bossmods and some timers are important

Should I rupture or garrote other councill Bosses to parse?

fallen arch

No

tulip nacelle

you don't parse from extra damage on the boss you're not killing, but you should keep bleeds and poison on one extra boss for extra energy - more ST damage

fallen arch
#

Not for parse

#

That damage doesnt count, u do want the energy boost from those tho

odd flax

Both rup and garr at one extra or maybe 2 extra rups?

Decanter better than bell

stoic needle

I don't actually think bell is good except for padding

hollow escarp
#

I wanted to show the phial damage but it would blow my cover

balmy condor
#

I agree with the first half of your sentence

shy dust
#

I don’t even know

#

How it’s good for padding either

stoic needle
#

The cd lines up with commando and skirmisher spawn timings very nicely

balmy condor
hollow escarp
#

don't those die like crazy?

shy dust
#

But does that translate to more damage

#

It’s hard to quantify things like that

#

Just based off your own experiences

stoic needle
#

In my unscientific testing it does

#

It makes the one CT they actually live through hit 30% harder

balmy condor
#

if only there were simulations or something that allowed us to have an objective view on how good things are

hollow escarp
#

idk what to think about that, like skirmishers die way to fast to even dot them properly, and commandos, you don't wanna pad on those if you don't plan to kill the shields

stoic needle

Sims are the devil's work prayge we trust in the divine prayge

I mean I hope for the rest of your raid you do OMEGALUL

stoic needle
#

I was still top goliath and boss damage and did more damage to commandos and skirmishers too

shy dust
#

There’s a lot of factors that go into that

#

That matter significantly more than swapping a trinket

stoic needle
#

I know that, I'm just saying it wasn't the reason we were wiping

#

I was still doing my job

hollow escarp
#

do you guys kill the 3rd goliath with commandos?

should i apply to osh raid and say

stoic needle

We kill it first and then aoe the commandos

"i dont use divine bell"

I just tab target SBS

Sin doesn't really need to mouseover sbs

Thats more of an outlaw thing

I also mostly tab sbs

limber lion

I have a mouseover macro. It's pretty decent for when you're sniping targets.

Sniping with tab targeting is a bit of a pain in the ass imo

you can run a droptimizer or gear compare at 220

Can i do the following: run 2 pot on Theotar (I am not renown 34 yet)

#

The potency's would be: Lashing and Lethal

balmy condor

the shield trait on theotar pulls you out of stealth constantly

which is why we don't run double pot theotar

Renown 31

west nimbus
#

is it worth to maintain crimson tempest on single target?

limber lion
#

Yes, outside of Shiv windows

charred mango
#

would you use CT in the opener or just wait till after the initial shiv to put it up

limber lion
#

If you use all cooldowns in the beginning, then it's probably safe to just use CT when your Shiv runs out.

#

And only blast Envenom's during the window.

#

Don't think it makes much of a difference whether or not you'd build for CT first, other than you would be delaying your Shiv, which is a no-no. So it's better to just not touch CT in ST during the opener and smack it on your target after the first Shiv window.

#

On 2T you definitely want to use CT in the opener (during the first Shiv window)

is necro considered better for sire prog as well? or is it mostly even with venth?

better due to a "bug"

limber lion

They do different things.

i was already planning on swapping for SLG

it's decent, but venthyr wins handily on sludge

flag damage on the pillars is obscene

mighty bolt
#

How works the bug on sire being necro?

stoic needle
#

remornia and the named adds from p2 keep giving you extra CP for sbs in p3

#

so you just get 5cp for every sbs in p3

#

even though it's 'single target'

#

you can do similar things on slg by sbsing grashaal on the pull

mighty bolt
#

So I should dot remornia and all 3 minibosses?

stoic needle
#

yes

#

Skipping the smoke bomb one

sire + remornia + 2 adds is 5cp

Hey for the opener, why do the guides say to start with Mutilate and not ambush when you are talented into master assasin?

balmy condor
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

To be perfectly honest I found it quite hard to grasp and I'm still pretty sure I'm doing my stuff very wrong, I read Ravenholdt guide which seemed to be raid-focused and a little bit outdated (? maybe), wowhead is not really clear about multitarget etc.

Maybe it's because sin rogue is my first melee toon so I got a lot on my plate to learn, but still - it's really hard to parse what to do out of these materials (my take is mostly Mythic+ and less popular covenant [necro]) alone... compared to for example hunter guides, or druid guides or whatnot. So I agree with this comment a lot šŸ˜›

If i run Nadjia in M+ do I run with dauntless duelist or double potency? Also would we run poisoned katar for 2x potency?

I'm new to playing sin in m+ and was wondering what the priority and rotation is for trash/multi target. Like do I try to put bleeds on every mob and spam tempest? Or just try to maintain tempest and bleeds on targets and envenom on kill target

Garrote on cd to keep it up on multiple targets, rupture on I think up to 4 targets, maintain CT, and envenom when you need to refresh snd or if all your other bleeds are up. I believe that’s it
