tropic echo
#

i think it's bad design for a cov conduit to be bis even at 80 ilvls lower lol

stoic needle
#

Pretty sure it isn't

tropic echo
#

145 lashing scars is better than 226 well placed steel im pretty sure

alpine latch
#

It's not bis for me

#

It will be if I can get a higher rank, but at 145 it's a DPS loss on ST

tropic echo
#

if you're not venthyr then it probably isn't that insane

but yeah

stoic needle
#

The real bad design is that all of the sin conduits suck

frail fossil
#

better than well placed steel

tropic echo
#

yeah but like

better even at 80 ilvls difference? lol

frail fossil
#

probably not

#

idk ilv upgrade feel so minor who knows

tropic echo
#

i don't think it's ridiculous for a covenant conduit to be bis on equal standing

but when it's baseline is so much better that the ilvl barely matters at all, yikes

#

then again im a supporter of the covenant system being complete fucking garbage to begin with so who knows maybe im just a contrarian

#

it would be cool if it wasn't so heavily tied to performance, and sometimes it isn't, but like

lolmage

hollow escarp
#

ilvl conduit means nothing, it's just a artificial number to differentiate ranks

stoic needle
#

Again, the real problem is that the sin conduits suck

#

Not that the covenant ones are good

tropic echo
#

it's the same issue regardless of the reasoning, whether lashing scars needs to be reduced in power or other sin conduits need to be increased, there shouldn't be this much power frontloaded into the base effect of a conduit so much so that it's a better rank 1 conduit than 2nd best is at rank 8 or whatever

stoic needle
#

I don't think it particularly matters tbh, all that matters is the total final output

alpine latch
#

Are there any trinkets that are regarded as sim traps for melee?

limber lion
#

Oh okay, didn't know that :o

frail fossil
#

but actual covenant conduit drop rate on WB is honestly mediocre

#

never dropped on my monk got it from sire

stoic needle
#

I think getting the base conduit is guaranteed, but not a 200 because when I switched back to necro it took me several callings to get a 200

limber lion
stoic needle
#

Guess it's not guaranteed then akkoshrug

#

I was walking around with a 145 SF for almost a whole week

north basin
#

Guys what do u think, should i reroll necro for myth dena prog? 38% best. Or wont notice much difference vs venth?

limber lion
#

Welp, I don't know what to believe anymore.

hazy crater
#

yeah you're not gonna magically kill it when you swap

north basin
#

Like my overall wont dramatically increase coz barons cultist remornia mass dotting?

stoic needle
#

No

north basin
#

K

stoic needle
#

It's better but not by much

hollow escarp
#

boss damage > overall on sire EZ

north basin
#

Ye my boss damage til 38% was top 1-3

stoic needle
#

Imagine if WCL default view was damage done to bosses

hollow escarp
#

you still need ads damage

north basin
#

So if i do more on adds my team can funnel more into boss? Flawed logic or no?

hollow escarp
#

it's a mix I guess

#

because you need to kill ads in p1 fast for example

#

but there are a lot of classes with baseline good aoe

#

that can do it

#

and that will bring them up in wcl

#

but we shine the most on boss damage

stoic needle
#

Dotting the adds is a single target dps gain though

north basin
#

P1 adds aint issue, they have small hp pool. Talking more about phase when 2 cultists + remornia near boss

hollow escarp
dull cloak
#

boss damage only really matters on p3

hollow escarp
#

ye

north basin
#

But u need to get there first, and as far as i understood if u stable going to 30% of boss it takes u very little amount of tries to end it.

#

Is it true?

limber lion
#

No

hollow escarp
#

yeah, that's why sometimes you hero in early stages

#

to get prog

hazy crater
#

really depends on your raiders

hollow escarp
#

ohh

limber lion
#

P3 is the hard part

hollow escarp
#

misunderstood the question

north basin
#

Like if u have 250-300 pulls til kill, the ones u go sub 30% till kill will be like 20-30 max?

limber lion
#

You should not have 250 pulls on it when yoy get to 30% for the first time

indigo mulch
#

I mean the only thing that matters is p3 tbh. p1 and p2 is a joke once you get the movement and cd usage down.

#

p3's dps check is pretty rough if you dont do 99 logs on all the bosses 😒

north basin
#

Its still tight dps race there? Sub 40%

limber lion
#

Depends on the comp

limber lion
north basin
#

Ohh

limber lion
#

That's why it's advised to focus on ST and execute

indigo mulch
#

We're running 2x assassination, 1 fury (venthry) and 1 SP.

#

oh and a dk

#

rest is just aoe more or less lol

north basin
#

Well so maybe i will craft zoldyk then . Have 6k ashes

hollow escarp
#

do you have doomblade?

north basin
#

Ye

#

I have doom ma celerity and the sub leg all 235

indigo mulch
#

Doomblade (overall) is better than Zoldycks on sire. Aka you will get better logs with doomblade. However, having zoldycks for p3 is in my opinion more worth than any form of damage you can do in p1/p2 with doomblade.

hollow escarp
#

I wanna compare some logs but I've heard that doomlade can be more damage than zoldyck on p3 alone

north basin
#

Ye heard that too

indigo mulch
#

Eh

#

In what world does Doomblade do more damage than zoldycks in a 3min execute phase? D:

#

And how is that even possible

north basin
#

Well its hard to compare, u need same circumstances same raid same kill time, different leg, and even then u cant be sure in results coz variance

#

So there is top boss p3 damage with CT talent and doomblade according to logs

indigo mulch
#

Eh

#

Oh

stoic needle
#

Zoldyck is ~ +3.5-4% better in execute but about the same amount worse in p1/2

limber lion
#

Some people argue that Doomy isnbetter if you lust right away in P3 because the boss is over 30% hp at that point

#

But most people usually lust after second blood price

#

Or somewhere around there

indigo mulch
#

Peopel doing logs on sire mythic goes: EP/vigor and CT.

north basin
#

Well no one will notice probably if i switch from doom to zoldyk. Its not kill or no)), but i saw 0.001% hp on myth bosses in my lifetime))

stoic needle
#

I think it also kinda depends on how scuffed your p3 is

indigo mulch
#

^

limber lion
#

Yup

#

Doomy needs uptime on boss

vital tapir
#

doomy

#

lmao

indigo mulch
#

I mean just sim it, there you'll have your anwser i suppose.

stoic needle
#

If everyone's alive then you're probably fine with doomblade but if people are dying all over the place zoldyck will be sightly better

vital tapir
#

never heard anyone say doomy

hollow escarp
#

patchewerk execute?

limber lion
#

Can't reaaaaally sim it

north basin
#

Sim will show zoldyk always as execute choice

stoic needle
#

In terms of getting a kill

limber lion
#

Zoldyck will pull ahead every time

hollow escarp
#

sire isn't really patchwerk

limber lion
#

But it gives you a good idea how they perform

north basin
#

Vibes of my yesterday questions again lol

limber lion
#

Shouldn't trust em blindly though

indigo mulch
#

Sims are almost never applicable in raids though.

#

But atleast it will give you an idea. :X

limber lion
#

Sims should be used as a reference, not as the bible.

indigo mulch
#

I'm a strong believer that when your progressing sire p3 you should prob not run doomblade.

north basin
#

The good part about zoldyk is that u dont need to swap targets for mutilate on p2

limber lion
#

You don't with Doomy either

north basin
#

Vs doomblade

limber lion
#

Doomblade doesn't work like that

hollow escarp
#

doomblade dot is irrelevant

stoic needle
#

Wait, so my custom two boss hectic add cleave with invulnerability events isn't like slg? gregxd

north basin
#

But how u trigger effect

#

With fok?

stoic needle
#

The dot is actually 50% of Doomblade's damage

#

But it's like ignite

#

Muting 1 target vs spreading the dot is the same damage

limber lion
indigo mulch
#

I'm still curious to why doomblade would do more damage than zoldycks on p3 sire. o_O

#

I can't see it D:

#

Edjucate me pl0x

hollow escarp
#

2 more bleeds for envenom damage?

#

idk

#

haven't checked

#

but so is zoldyck

stoic needle
#

Maybe the zoldyck users didn't have good dot uptime

limber lion
#

Zoldyck is the ultimate choice for P3

north basin
#

And if zoldyk choosen, we cancel our flag covenant talent? For something else?

stoic needle
#

Or bad vendetta timings

limber lion
wary ice
north basin
#

Ye i mean replacing scars if i pick zoldyk?

wary ice
#

like lashing scars is what makes ven playable

limber lion
#

No

#

Why would you?

vital tapir
#

never if you're venthyr lol

limber lion
#

And what would you even take?

north basin
#

For more dot damage)

wary ice
#

maim mangle :^)

limber lion
#

Ok here's the next question

indigo mulch
#

Rip brain.

limber lion
#

Which conduit gives us more dot damage?

north basin
#

Scars

#

No?

vital tapir
#

huh.

limber lion
#

???

north basin
#

))

vital tapir
#

what.

north basin
#

Ohh

limber lion
#

Replace scars with scars?

north basin
#

Dunno

vital tapir
#

I'm confused.

north basin
#

Same

limber lion
#

"I want to replace scars with a conduit that increases our dot damage"

#

Which conduit increases our dot damage?

#

"Scars"

north basin
#

Ye bad one

vital tapir
wary ice
#

I think maim mangle increases the Mutilate dot from doomblade

#

🤷‍♀️

north basin
#

Iam not at home right now, dont remember all the names)

wary ice
#

but like kekw at running maim mangle

vital tapir
#

maim mangle increases dmg done to targets with your garrote on iirc (mut dmg)

#

but somebody should probably correct me

wary ice
#

maimgle.

#

yah the dots a % of mutilate damage

#

and its dynamic

stoic needle
#

Maim mangle is unironically better than well placed steel for venthyr tho

wary ice
#

so it should be increased by maimgle

hollow escarp
stoic needle
#

Maim mangle is like the 2nd or 3rd best potency depending on covenant

limber lion
vital tapir
hollow escarp
#

yes

vital tapir
wary ice
limber lion
#

I was hoping to hear a "Lethal Poisons"

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

But was spared.

hollow escarp
vital tapir
hollow escarp
#

it doesn't work

#

I know

north basin
#

Ye something with poisons!!

vital tapir
#

3% you already have don't you?

gusty mirage
#

Imagine not wanting to be stronger

hollow escarp
#

better have backup

#

in case I forget to enchant

north basin
#

Lethal poisons work better with zoldyk than lashing scars?

limber lion
#

That's the wrong answer

stoic needle
#

Imagine if it didn't have cap HYPERULTRAOMEGAPOGGERS

limber lion
#

Lethal Poisons does NOT increase our dot damage.

wary ice
#

If you're playing venthyr

hollow escarp
#

only auto attack

wary ice
#

You slap lashing scars in

gusty mirage
#

Lethal increases the instant damage portion

wary ice
#

and you ignore your potencies forever

thorny pond
#

The problem with lashing is that it's really good

hollow escarp
#

lethal poisons is really cringe

vital tapir
hollow escarp
#

it works on all specs I think

vital tapir
#

not dots

#

iirc

limber lion
#

Yes, the instant damage portion of poisons.

vital tapir
#

ceve correct me if I'm wrong feelsloveman

stoic needle
#

That does work with zold but it's still worse than lashing

limber lion
#

Meaning whenever you muti/melee/fok/pk

#

But the answer was Maim, Mangle

hollow escarp
north basin
#

The wow is hard!! And misleading!

limber lion
#

And that's still worse

#

You always just go with Lashing Scars.

#

Always, always, always.

#

"Do I play Lashing Scars in ST?" - Yes.

#

"Do I play Lashing Scars in M+?" - YES.

gusty mirage
#

But what about if I have 80% mastery like osh?

limber lion
#

"Do I play Lashing Scars in 10 target AOE?" - YES

#

Ok maybe not in 10 target aoe, that might be a stretch.

vital tapir
#

Do I play lashing scars? YES!

hollow escarp
#

can't wait for the day that somebody unironically uses bell because he read it in #assassination

gusty mirage
#

But I can’t play lashing scars pepehands

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Covenant conduits are for the gamers.

hollow escarp
#

osh is memeing

thorny pond
#

BoneBaby

visual prairie
#

do i play lashing scars as necro?

gusty mirage
#

Yes

visual prairie
#

what about on my warlock?

hollow escarp
#

if you can

#

yes

gusty mirage
thorny pond
#

Lashing as literally every spec

vital tapir
#

nah dude, bell bis Pepega

I mean i copy builds from logs and doing fine orange/pink in hc at least, but i try to understand some mechanics and their synergies, the hard part)

213 here Sadge

limber lion
vital tapir
hollow escarp
#

only 45% chance to double damage

wary ice
#

imagine playing bonerboys

hollow escarp
#

imagine not being a boner

limber lion
#

Oh yeah, that reminds me

#

I need to go start Prove your Worth now

#

Before I forget again

wary ice
#

whats that?

vital tapir
#

I don't even have scars 213 KEKWHands

limber lion

#

And i understand that bonespike doesnt benefit from zoldyk?

wary ice
#

LOL

wary ice

where you goin

I use Bell in boost keys and I'm not sorry about it

limber lion

gusty mirage

Yeah but I’m a dps whore

vital tapir
hollow escarp
limber lion
#

So if I now click this button, I will still be Necro right?

stoic needle
#

Yes

limber lion
#

And I'll just get the quest

thorny pond
#

Yes

vital tapir
#

idk

hollow escarp
#

do it PepeLaugh

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Okay sick

stoic needle
#

Not until you turn in the 2nd part do you change

thorny pond
#

Yep, you'll never be homeless

limber lion
#

Good, good

north basin
#

So zoldyk will increase my raw poisons, flagg, garrote rupture and ct damage by 30% after boss hit 30%? No bullshit?

limber lion
#

No.

#

What

#

Where did you get Flag from?

#

Zoldyck increases your poison and bleed damage by 30%.

silent fossil
#

poison and bleed brother

hollow escarp
#

my legendary lost the crafter name after I swapped server Sadge

north basin
#

Flag not bleed?

limber lion
#

No, Flag is not a bleed.

#

Flagellation does shadow damage

north basin
#

Ok

thorny pond
#

Flagellation is a kink not a bleed

north basin
#

Shadowbleed dunno..

#

Ok)

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

I can't remember if Sepsis works with Zoldyck

north basin
#

Vampires and not bleed. Again blizzard tricks me

limber lion
#

It literally does not do any damage over time.

#

Flagellation does shadow damage when you use a finisher

#

It does not do damage over time.

#

Bleeds do damage over time

#

You press garrote once and it does damage for 18s

#

You press Flag and it does damage when pressed, then it does nothing

silent fossil
hollow escarp
#

it's a debuff, not a dot

#

if it makes it easier to differentiate

#

well, dots are also debuffs MonkaStop

limber lion
#

Bleeds are dots.

#

Flagellation is not a dot.

thorny pond
#

all dots are debuffs but not all debuffs are dots - square/rectangle situation

grand ridge
#

Looks at icon for flagellation

hollow escarp
#

yeah

grand ridge
#

Heh you thought it was a bleed that's dumb

hollow escarp
#

but we are in the shadowlands

#

so it's shadow damage

grand ridge
#

Sbs on the other hand definitely a bleed

hollow escarp
north basin
#

sepsis was bleed?

hollow escarp
#

it's complicated

limber lion
#

It's a nature DOT.

#

Not a bleed.

hollow escarp
#

in real life it's both

limber lion
#

Poison bleed

hollow escarp
#

it scales pretty well with other nature debuffs

north basin
#

tricky blizz(

limber lion
#

Not really.

#

If you read the tooltips, they are usually pretty clear in what they do.

#

Numbers might be dingdong but usually the effect is correct.

gusty mirage
loud latch
#

Hey guys im pretty new to rogue ive seen contradicting arguments in this in different places but trust the info here haha. If im necrolord where should SBS fit into my opener with MA?

limber lion
#

So SBS - SnD - Mutilate

#

When you vanish during the encounter afterwards, you don't want to use SBS during MA windows anymore.

#

You just dump all SBS charges during Heirmir's Gemstone procs.

alpine latch
#

Are there any trinkets I should worry about as far as sim traps are concerned?

hollow escarp
#

the word

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

there is no sim trap, only human trap

limber lion
#

But IQD can be tricky to get full value out of on some fights, Shadowgrasp totem is placed under the boss so if he moves you lose value

alpine latch
#

Yeah, IQD is great on some fights - and awful for others. lol

limber lion
#

It's great for all fights honestly

#

Except SKS

#

That's the only one.

alpine latch
#

SKS is hard. Definitely

limber lion
#

And that's because the whole point of the fight is to starve the healers mana

loud latch
limber lion
#

The guides are tailored for readability and ease of use. Swapping from Venthyr won't change your rotation much, unless you want to get the maximum value out of everything.

#

We're talking about very marginal gains here, so they are often disregarded on guides.

loud latch
#

yeah that seems reasonable. Thank you so much for your help

limber lion
#

No worries.

odd hazel
#

sad that for me IQD sims better then dreadfire

hollow escarp
#

233 dreadfire?

limber lion
odd hazel
#

not sure on that one because doubt i'll see mythic but, both 220 ye

#

yes

limber lion
#

Yeah that's why

#

IQD sims very highly for Venthyr.

hollow escarp
#

220 dreadfire is bad if you have some good 226 trinkets

odd hazel
#

currently sitting with a 213 Phial/220 decanter(while i upgrade my IQD)

limber lion
#

I was rocking 220 IQD and 220 Phial for a gooood while

odd hazel
#

it'll prob be what i rock for the rest of the patch, doubt i'll see sire mythic

limber lion
#

Just recently got a 226 Hateful Chain and swapped to Necro so now both of those trinkets lost value

silent fossil
#

im a chain dreadfire boi

#

i do like 1 key a week max

Oof

kick KoJack cause of that phial

hollow escarp

I looted 3 phials from M+ alone

#

traded to guardian druid

sbs dot not affected by Nighstalker? hmm

limber lion
#

Nope

limber lion
#

This man has a 233 dagger, 233 dreadfire and 233 shoulders, but he's rocking a 220 hat.

silent fossil
#

it doesnt drop

#

i have to miss one week every month due to cyclic swing shift work schedule and the last week i had to miss 2 dropped in one kill

spice spire
#

OOOOOOOF

silent fossil
#

all 3 of our moonkins and dh have it

limber lion
#

Well, we had to extend last week and we only managed to kill Sludge and SLG from whom I didn't get a single drop

#

No vault and no Sire drops

#

Hah.

#

hah

hollow escarp
#

why extend though?

#

to get sire kill for benched players?

limber lion
#

SLG/Sire for trials/benchees

hollow escarp
#

makes sense

limber lion
#

But after failing to do Sire last week, we recleared again this week

#

No point extending just for Sire again

hollow escarp
#

ahh, and you also missed raid

limber lion
#

Yep

#

Well

#

It's okay

#

After getting some practice in, I think we'll get better at it

#

Just need to unlock the Sludge skip

silent fossil
#

im just gonna be a vigor ep gamer

hollow jungle

windfury

hollow escarp
#

that's how you sim

#

it's a party buff and if you have an enha, it will 100% be in the melee group

hollow jungle
#

yea, you sim it if you have it.

#

imagine having an enhance

limber lion
#

You pretty much always sim it.

hollow jungle
#

um no?

limber lion
#

It's part of the default sim setup.

#

Welp okay

hollow escarp
hollow jungle
#

why would you sim shit you don't have? lmfao

hollow escarp
#

you are lucky he is sleeping pepLaff

limber lion
#

For maximum e-peen

silent fossil
#

do people care what the number is? lol i thought it was just for it to tell me what to use

hollow escarp
#

well, we wanna know how close to max dps we are

limber lion
#

do people care about parses?

hollow escarp
#

which is 7300

limber lion
#

do people care about r.io?

#

It's all a numbers game.

#

Everyone wants to have as high of a number in everything that they do

#

Be it 99/100 parses, 5k rio or a 7.3k sim.

#

But yes, if you're simming for a certain fight or actually looking for upgrades, then you shouldn't necessarily sim with WFT.

#

Doubt it makes much of a difference in what you wear or use, but anyways.

rocky pecan
#

7.3 with 227 ilvl is that even good ? 😒

#

i'm almost at 7K with 219 ...

limber lion
#

At 229

rocky pecan
#

ok ok

#

i though could be more

limber lion
#

7.4k is possible for Venthyr with IQD.

north basin
#

guys . cleansing pain also doesnt getting reduced by feint? on myth dena

north basin
#

fuck. stupid ability

#

its clearly aoe xD

alpine latch
#

If you cloak CP does it still remove the stack? Or no

#

I've never actually tried

mighty owl
#

It doesn’t remove stack

alpine latch
#

Makes sense. Just figured I'd ask, lol

limber lion
#

Yeah, never use cloak on it. It just messes everything up

alpine latch
#

I normally cloak a force choke anyway

limber lion
#

Use it on the Blood Price instead.

alpine latch
#

yeah

rustic whale
#

i think EP/Vig is common question todays?

limber lion
rustic whale
#

EP/VG vs BS/DS

north basin
#

btw nadjia last ability makes denatrius do 1.5% less damage? at least this works?XD

limber lion
rustic whale
#

i dont know man , i just cant play high dps when i spec BS/DS

limber lion
#

Then just stick to EP/Vig.

#

They are very similar in output.

rustic whale
#

spec feels very slow when i go bs/ds

limber lion
#

If you play better and get better results with EP/Vig, then stick with it

limber lion
rustic whale
#

also i switched venthry to necro for a week to try raiding

#

my sight is Venthry far ahead for raiding

#

now i m venthry ofc

It's nothing to do with the trinkets, talents, weapons or anything like that

@rain edge

1. Your bleed uptime on Huntsman and the dogs needs some work. On Huntsman, your garrote was at 66% and Rupture at 78%. Ideally you want both of these to be at 98-99%. On a 2-target encounter you want to have both Garrote and Rupture on both targets at all times. Are you aware of the pandemic refresh mechanic?

2. You should consider trying different talents for Huntsman. Because it's a pure 2-target scenario, your talent choices change quite a bit. Elaborate Planning and Crimson Tempest are both safe choices, with MFD/Vigor and Subt/MA being more preference.

3. Like you said yourself, the opener is a bit clunky. I mean, you do your **single target** rotation perfectly - in a **2 target** encounter. Try to sim for 2-target and see what the bot does, or look up a few top logs and try to replicate what they are doing. I can elaborate this as well and suggest an opener if you would like.

4. You missed out on some Shiv casts. Make sure not to hold Shiv and just use it on cooldown.

Everything else looks pretty good, you don't overcap on energy (but that's mostly because you don't have a second target debuffed with bleeds either) and your rotation overall is pretty decent. Just need to work a bit on the 2-target scenario.

Good luck! whispyrheart

@solar hare owoHehe

#

Master detective.

solar hare
#

I was going thru the simc and im like

limber lion
solar hare
#

No way this energy gen is normal

#

Checks stats

alpine latch
#

@limber lion If I'm low on energy and Shiv comes up, do I pop Shiv and just sit on it? Or pool for envenom, shiv -> envenom?

compact pumice
#

If shiv is off CD your next button press should be shiv

limber lion
#

You should be pooling energy and preparing combo points before that. So you have to think 10s ahead.

alpine latch
#

okay, so even if I'm just autoing and pooling for envenom I still pop it

#

Good to know

#

yeah

limber lion
alpine latch
#

In a perfect world I wouldn't suck 😂

limber lion
#

During Shiv windows you slam everything

#

You pool outside of Shiv windows and cooldowns.

compact pumice
#

when shiv is counting down inc in like 5 seconds you can start to "prepare for it" as long as you don't overcap energy or CP (well except for the CP gained from shiv)

rain edge
alpine latch
#

Look at the uptime for just Huntsman, then just the dogs

#

That should give you a better idea of where those numbers come from

limber lion
#

@rain edge Oh and another thing; your kill was quite slow, meaning that parsing well on it will be very difficult. A faster kill means a better parse.

rain edge
#

i seeeee

#

thanks @alpine latch

limber lion
#

You need to specify the target.

#

But you should be seeing 98% uptime on both bleeds on every dog and on the boss

rain edge
#

oh shiet

#

ouch..

limber lion
#

No worries, just needs some practice!

#

And good nameplates to go with it, so it's easier to track

rain edge
#

yea i figured kill time had something to do with it also, i asked about it before as well

frosty bridge
#

What time show I set on raidbots for patchwerk sims?

limber lion
#

Sorry?

#

I mean the default is a 5 minute patchwork

frosty bridge
#

As in length

#

Just stick to 5 I guess?

limber lion
#

It depends on what you want to sim

north basin
#

btw how do i reduce damage from impale? dena myth

frosty bridge
#

Specifically for Sire I guess

limber lion
#

Should just go look at the top logs in WCL and see what the top players are using and copy them

hollow escarp
#

uhm

frosty bridge
#

Well i am talking about gear speicifically though

limber lion
#

Well

#

You can't really sim for Sire

#

You can sim for execute patchwork

#

Or patchwork

#

Or cleave add

#

And see how they compare

#

And then make decisions based on the sim results

hollow escarp
#

@limber lion PepeLaugh

#

42 CT

frosty bridge
#

I asked what length to set on patchwerk when doing a "general" sim for ST

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

isn't it mostly for Sire parsing?

limber lion
#

The default is 5 min patchwork

#

Also that's not what you asked

frosty bridge
#

And I asked should I just stick to 5

limber lion
#

You specified Sire later

frosty bridge
#

Because oyu said this

frosty bridge
limber lion
#

Yeah exactly

frosty bridge
#

You probably meant gear or talents though :D

limber lion
#

If you sim Patchwork 5 mins

frosty bridge
#

So just a misunderstanding

limber lion
#

You are not simming for Sire

#

No

#

I mean the fight

#

If you sim for Huntsman, you don't sim Patchwork 5 mins

#

But again

#

You cannot really sim for Sire

#

So do like I said earlier

frosty bridge
#

Got you, thanks

limber lion
#

Which is simming patchwork, cleave add and execute

#

And then look at all 3 results

#

And see what the sims do

north basin
#

elaborate planing on sire its coz u have influx of energy via multidoting ? so u have better uptime

limber lion
#

And then base your choices on all 3.

north basin
#

more damage coz?

stoic needle
#

blindside > ep for sire prog

#

not even close

frosty bridge
#

So for P3 just 4 minute execute?

stoic needle
#

EP is for parsing

limber lion

Hi guys, I'm new to this game and new to rogue. I looked up about how stats prio works for assassination and most people say stack haste first and crit, they said haste has a dps breaking point around 17%, 23% or something like that. Does that mean we basically ignore mastery and versatility? Also there are some say to keep stats balanced, how many percent of each stats is good to reach? I tried sim it and I have no idea how much what the number means

limber lion
#

There are no stat breakpoints in the game.

#

You don't want a certain % of any stat. For now you only want ilvl and ilvl only. When you are closer to like 225 ilvl, then you can start looking at secondaries.

#

You don't ignore any stats

#

You want everything.

#

You should not use Stat Weights as a basis for your character and instead should just sim yourself using Top Gear.

balmy condor
#

^

#

But also welcome!

limber lion
balmy condor
heady steppe
#

Got it, thank you very much for the advice, I will just go for higher ilvl then, I was worried since i played almost perfectly in mythic+ with a rogue that's slightly lower ilvl than me, he always out damage me, maybe there are some conduit difference? I also counted he has slightly more haste

#

Thank you : )

limber lion
#

There is no such thing as "perfect gameplay" among us mortals.

#

You should just not look at conduits/stats/covenants/gear

#

You should instead focus on talents/legendaries and MAINLY on your own performance.

heady steppe
#

me and the rogue did exact samething and same talent thats' what im curious about

limber lion
#

You can send us a log or a VOD of you playing and we can analyze your gameplay*

heady steppe
#

the difference is not significant but he do has the fang of knive conduit for crit chance, but i do more dmg on single target it seems :/

limber lion
balmy condor
#

Yeah I’d also lean on player error more than any gear

stoic needle
#

no offense, but if you're new to the game and new to rogue, you didn't play the mythic+ key perfectly

#

there's people who've been playing assassination rogue in m+ for years and they still don't play perfectly

spice spire
#

Especially in aoe, there are many choices you have to make as you’re a tab n’ stab gamer as sin

hollow river
#

I raid single target with fok conduit. Cba

limber lion
dawn ivy
#

someone do the math is 5% more crit worth using fok on ST over mut monkahmm

hollow river
#

I’m mainly trying to up my m+ gameplay and I haven’t u locked heirmir just yet

heady steppe
#

hmmm what I saw on youtube says put garrote up to 3-4 target, then 5 point crimson tempest and then put rupture on everyohne, then sliec and dice ? Is there a more optimal way of opening for aoes?

balmy condor
#

I don’t need math for that

hollow river
#

Lol I never use fok in raid except for sire p1

limber lion
heady steppe
hollow river
#

Doesn’t SnD get left out at a certain number of mobs? Like 6?

balmy condor
#

No

stoic needle
#

technicially yes

balmy condor
#

You refresh it with envenom

#

No

hollow river
#

😮

balmy condor
#

Technically no

#

Practically no

#

Just no

#

You cast it once at the start of the dungeon

hollow river
#

What if I never envenom

worthy moat
#

With m+ you should have a really high uptime with it since you would be refreshing it with envenom

balmy condor
#

You cast envenom in aoe specifically to refresh snd

hollow river
#

So snd pandemic - envenom should take priority over refreshing pandemic ruptures?

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

It takes priority over everything

hollow river
#

Wow no wonder my dam isn’t on par

balmy condor
#

Well I doubt that’s the reason

limber lion
#

I doubt that's the reason

#

lol

balmy condor
#

But it probably doesn’t help

hollow river
#

I mean I can usually pull 5k overall at 210 ilvl

balmy condor
#

Seems fine to me

hollow river
#

But I’m bad

#

223 ilvl in my guild can pull 7-7.2k

stoic needle
#

i could've sworn that the apl said not to refresh snd at 6 targets not too long ago

limber lion
hollow river
#

I just wanna do better

#

@limber lion

limber lion
#

Getting your ilvl up helps immensely.

stoic needle
#

not dying is the most important thing you can do for your dps in a key

hollow river
#

How do I weave my SBS into rotation properly 😮

limber lion
#

Gar everything, snd up, sbs everything, ruptures on everything

rain edge
#

would it be worth switching over to outlaw for higher m+ like 17s and up

hollow river
#

I normally garrotes-CT or snd- fok-ruptures or ct and then dump my SBS for CP

stoic needle
#

you should sbs > rupture

limber lion
#

Just sbs everything around you

hollow river
#

So spread SBS before I fok

#

Kk

stoic needle
#

do one fok initially to spread poison

#

but after that you sbs > rupture

hollow river
#

Oo

rain edge
stoic needle
#

gar x 3 > fok > ct > sbs > rupture until you're out of charges, garrote on cd, continue spreading ruptures and envenom to refresh snd and if things don't live long

limber lion
#

The highest ranks

#

Meaning the people who do 25s

hollow river
#

Ryfie be doing them 25s n stuff as sin

limber lion

And you're not one of them

how about commanders?

also CT only?

limber lion

Wait, some dude with 5 PI's got a better log than me. >:(

indigo mulch
#

Like i said, just ask them what needs to die fastest and you sit on that target 24/7, sin rogues aoe burst is next to nothing so you might aswell just focus on priority targets. Aka goliaths or trying to balance out health on Skirmishers.

limber lion

I literally lost rank 1 Sire log to a PI user by 7 dps, and now I lost rank 1 SLG log to a PI user by 8 dps.

indigo mulch
#

KEKW

#

Feelsbad though

limber lion
#

If you're doing the burst tactic, then you dot everything up with everything and just fok/Env during the shields

#

If you're doing the slow strat, you're probably not allowed to touch the commandos much

indigo mulch
#

I mean you always wanna attack whats lowest since you prob pump more ST than people pumping aoe during that phase.

#

Slow strat? D:

#

5+ commandos then burst?

#

limber lion
#

That's the quick strat.

Oh is it now, i had no idea, i just went with my gut feeling when i was raidleading that shit

strange python

slow strat seems a lot more reliable

I do more damage as sin than I do as outlaw in m+, and I think it’s because I’m just terrible at outlaw omegalul

but people have to actually not be pepegas and stop dps when told

now i parse like green pepeclown doing the slow strat

stoic needle
#

for SLG you play it similar to council, keep garotte and rupture up on the goliath and the boss and sbs and maybe a 3rd garotte on the adds to get more cp to do more goliath/boss damage

and keep up ct

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other).

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.
