Gz on trinket
Because I assume you’re playing MA
I'm sad obedience got nerfed man
It's still a very good legendary
might be substantially better than doomblade in certain situations
while still being equal in standards patchwerk sims*
i was being a dumb, i stopped playing in wod so in my head garrote was a stealth specific ability
so uh
yeah
i just learned that I have been playing ass wrong all this fucking time
so y'all can point at me and laugh
Happens
i really am jealous, ive done so many pf's this week
the raid trinket tuning still is like 
going to be doing pf until next season again
axe/necrotic/interrupt/defensive
Oh god I just looked at overall statistics
we getting nerfed boys?
We getting the classic blizzard move, look at one week of data without mythic included, blast the top classes into the dirt
i find it to be better than doomblade actually
just cus it is viable for more than 1 situation
its viable for both sin and sub
sure, its worse than doomblade on pure ST
but so was finality for sub in 9.0
and i dont remember seeing a lot of logs with akaari
Bloodmallet is saying Dashing scoundrel is #1 for ST?
We have survived the first tuning post
yeh whats the go with this
Seems like a trash leggo, but maybe the energy regen when you hit a certain haste point is insane?
They are all within 0.1%, I wouldn't say any of them is "#1"
dashing and doomblade have been within 0.1% for the last couple months
just how it is
Obedience nerf isnt on raidbots yet, right?
sin at the top isnt what i expected to see after coming back from a break lol
did anyone else switch between specs again cus i think im having trouble focusing on adjusting to just one now X__X
sin being top tier single target isn't really that rare an occurance
Maybe they overbuffed sin ;()
is there anywhere where I can find how to do a proper opener?
the one i have found makes me have low flag stacks
@hollow talon 9/10 h with guild or pugs? How is it compared to CN? I got aotc in that last season, was aids
with guild some of the fights are kinda tough
we didnt even try heroic sylvanas
nothing felt like impossible
just figuring out strats and stuff
KT was a little hetctic on heroic but once we figured out the strat we got it in like 3 pulls
Sin being top on sims doesn’t rly mean they’re top our dmg profile is kinda aids and we lack the ability to do priority dmg on demand such as the balls on painsmith for example. If sin does most st it’s perfectly balanced imo melee and no real utility outside of an immunity
Well that's good to hear, I hope I can find a good group to run it with, pugs usually are ass though lol
once the strats are more well known and stuff i think it wont be that bad
definitely need comms for the 2nd half of the raid though
i got a 19 on the heroic nine
DOUBLE DIGITS BB
i did a piss poor job spreading dots tonight, kinda just didn't care since i got stuck in traffic for 2 hours of our 3 hour raid so i got too lazy to push buttons
All g mate you pumped up everyone else numbers
i'm looking at top parses for these fights and i'm looking at these totals like they aren't even real numbers
My normal parses are good that means im good 
Too Many Oozes. Not Enough Phials
^^^^
It does
Come to my guild
Ok


Add me in game
guy finished the nine at 7.5k, i only finished with 5.3k... this dude did 50% more than me
Its ok man
It only gets better
I spent my first month with no keybinds
And wondering why i was dying to mobs
Then i discovered this spell called kick
wait, those are all things i'm doing!
only i don't click, i type
/cast mutilate
i click out of my spellbook
/cast shiv
everyone starts somewhere
what are bars?
a place you go for drinks!
dude if i got a 19% parse only casting... what the hell are 19% of you guys doing
er.. only typing


it's interesting, until today i never really had a frame of reference on these fights how significant spreading dots was for energy
i had 4788 energy generated from venom, this other guy got 5338
that's a lot of energy i didn't get
So, for the raid are folks still crafting obedience or upgrading diom to 249?
I'm crafting obed
samesies
good
I like the idea of it syncing better with vendetta for sure.
ye you did ask
whenever I try to sim Eternal Skirmish and Eternal stats on chest, it won't even show in the sim. It shows other enchants like ring and gems but the chest just stays with whatever enchant I have. Do I need to check box something that I'm not seeing?
U have to check "replace enchant and gems" box
Or something like that
And obviously check both enchants
dude, I did not even see that, did this long time ago with BFA but couldn't figure it out here. Thank you!
Guess we still on the ob hype train
sims are putting ob behind dashing and just above doomblade.
and putting it behind dashing for aoe.
we still leaning towards obe back for mythic release?
Necro here ✌🏼
Should never have gone vampire
But I’m not planning on playing sub at all, think if you do it’s obe all the way
did we dodge a bullet?
Keys low-key easy this week
On nerfs? I don't think sin nerfs would be warranted. It'll fall slightly next week as specs like Moonkin get their covenant leggo
So they can be king of the hill another tier
Based on pure feelycraft I would assume Boomie and warrior wind up on top after mythic is on farm.
Too soon to say I think
its crazy if they dont nerf boomy ventyr lego
st feels important this raid actually i kinda feel like venthyr is still better
might just be me tho
balance is still in change
a lot of chasses (including rogue) benefit from the covenant legendary powers,
so next weeks dps distribution will change quite a bit
Hey guys, what's the opener for necro sin now?
in ST i do mut,snd,mut,garrote,vendetta,rupture,mut till at least 4, shiv , vanish , evis , mut , evis, mut, bonespike,,evis
usually burst around 15-17k
recrafting my legendary to cloak was a dps loss because my shoulders are garbage 
jpc played assa and it looked good on Sylvanas
because assassination is superior
whats the verdict on dashing scoundrel?
That first mut should be bonespike tho
And we don’t eviscerate here
Think you mean envenom
Don’t run it
Appreciate it, guys!
I mean, it’s fine, it’s basically just doomblade but in a slightly worse package
how come sin is really dependent on weapons? sorry if its a noob question
!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
Every dps spec in the game is
oh ok
anyone use dashing scoundrel leggo?
But if it's only slightly worse on single target on better on cleave and AoE, isn't it pretty acceptable by those standards. I understand you could craft other leggos like obedience, but wouldn't it overall be a better leggo than doomblade because of it's versatility?
Dashing loses on 2 target to doom and zold on 3+
If you want one overall
Just do obedience
Then you can use it on sub as well

They difference is minimal anyway, just use which icon you prefer 😛
The only real change you'll make between them is Dashing will prefer Lethal Poisons and Doomblade will prefer Maim, Mangle if you use triple potency
What will prefer katar
Any hidden blades players?
No? Just me?
Okay
but that's only for mythic+ / dungeons
thought dauntless was the way to go period, for single target
yeah, figured I haven't even looked at maim, mangle just got back to this routine a week ago
ah i see more mut damage
man, I just hate that doomblade does nothing for aoe scenarios
Theotar vs. Nadjia for ST seems to be highly dependent on gear configuration
Then craft obedience
Since they are very close
true, okay so here is my thought about obedience, if you have to hold it during a fight for a phase, or like you have a priority target switch while you're building lashes, you lose out on it's full potential, correct?
oh, i thought it stayed on it's target like vendetta
It does
so if you switch targets, it still damages the original target with the lashed debuff?
Yes
And if anything, you would be better off with obedience if you have to hold during a fight
Because you get more flags
Which means you’re holding less
yeah, damn, okay maybe you've convinced me
Like something in 2 minutes? 1:30 flag is 30 seconds holding, obedience doesn’t hold
My take is that if you’re holding CDs but don’t have downtime doomblade will be better overall ST since it’s more sustain but if you have downtime at all and arent holding obedience wins (ie painsmith)
see I was under the impression once you pop obedience, until you get the haste buff, you need to stay on your target as such you do with vendettta
and that honestly wasn't appealing for fights with adds, etc
2:30? You have to hold one for a minute, obedience you hold 30 seconds
haha painsmith was my exact thought
Holding CDs is usually not amazing as Assassination, tbf
Or any spec for that matter
If Vendetta turns out to have really bad timings on a particular fight that you have to swap targets for or something, my inclination would be to swap to Sub personally. But a lot of this is just theory until we see how the Mythic timings play out
i agree 100% @fleet anchor but I really dislike sub
I like the methodical style of Sin
I do know that sub is in a good spot, I mean hell, I could play outlaw even for mythic + but I just don't like the feel of it
think last time i willingly played outlaw was back in cata for the leggo daggers, because the daggers were terrible for mut and sub at the time 😩
Probably still WPS, but you should sim it.
only if you go triple potency then you'd used maim, mangle as your third option
im dauntless nadjia so im only 2x pot
So... Summing up - someone like me(who don't really like to change legendaries and don't care for ~3-5% dps upgrade at the cost of doing Torghast, but likes to do raiding and m+) should rather just craft Obedience and be done with it? 😄
Obedience is a nice leggo since you can use it on sub too
I mean, seeing the sims in the pins and the ~0,4% differences at max wouldn't be even noticable.
anyone know which m+ anima powers pop off?
I noticed the necrotic one does pretty sick boss dam
Obedience is really good for all content, it's a pretty versatile legendary. Definitely still a good choice.
Wait, @limber lion ! Weren't you a different color a few days ago?
obdience got nerfed guys ?
Yes, but the sims are still showing that it's one of the top legendaries even after nerf 🙂
I've been a greenboy for a while now :p
I've just been out camping for a week or so
congratulations! I had a break up to 9.1, didn't see it before! 😄
where is the sims ?
Pinnerinos
Cev saw the survival hunter buffs and started to believe in year of the spear, that's why his name is green
Kappa
Anyway, hunter specs got huge buffs 
Hi there
is it worthy to use deathly-shadows setup as a sin? (and as such using vanish on pre-pull + stuff change)
I'm using it the usual way, after kryss for the %crit on mutilate+envenom but i was wondering
Nah dawg don’t do that
i think i'm pushing for 6 point evisc's too often
my average evisc damage is higher than top parsers but i'm getting ~10-20% fewer evisc's in the same time window
i don't feel like i'm doing that
but clearly i am
with DS it's 5 or 6 pointers right? should i be evisc'ing at 4?
Link a log
It doesn’t work for sin
You do finish -1 max with deeper. Are you also making sure you look at a log with deeper and not ep/vigor, because that would have lead to the situation you described
Oh thanks
For some other spec, you can use legendaries of the others
While simming sub, do you consider also using this start?
Bad.
Ok
just tried outlaw in m+ after long break from season 1. NEVER again. adhd style, 12 buttons which u must press quite frequently, i thought assa is complicated...
different people like different playstyles
and outlaw also just has a "flow" you need to understand, and then you just autopilot it
like ALL specs in the game
well i quite liked outlaw, but to play at 95% efficiency u need to be 200iq brain reaction.
probably this midseason switch to assa made my brain soft XD
eh
thats a bold thing to say tbh
no class in wow is a complicated thing that needs 200000IQ to operate correctly
its all just getting used to it, and understanding the fights, wow difficulty comes from the fights
100% agreeing with that
Love playing outlaw, but it's just an other level of every other spec in the game to me
Especialy in M+ when you have to use gouge + blind + stun efficiently
While managing DR, sooth, tricks uptime & kicks
gonna stick with assa in m+ less stress xDS
imo, im sure assn can work in high keys, but Im also pretty positive that to push those high keys, the utility that outlaw brings would be more effective
ofc it can work, seli is a thing lol
yeah i usually open with 3 garrotes, into bonespike/rupture, bonepike,bonespike, rupture found its been working well for me
assuming snd is going
Is asa in a good spot atm for overall PvE? or would outlaw be better?
Also, to build off what Tryan said, Outlaw is definitely a "get in the groove" type of spec. In layman's terms, once you understand reroll logic, it pretty much just becomes maintaining SnD and using the ability that just came off cd before using dispatch
Ofc theres more intricacies to it with cds and depending on covenant, but thats the basic gist of it lol
The increased melee range, extra low-cd stun/interrupt from gouge and grapple's ability to target an area to leap to (instead of being confined to shadowstepping to a target) are what make outlaw so damn good imo. Not to mention the fact that vanish has a much lower cd as outlaw than the other specs, which is useful for dodging/negating multiple abilities throughout m+ (such as castigate from 2nd boss of SD)
All 3 specs are good
Is outlaw single target decent nowadays?
Yes
just depends on ur rolls xd
assn will typically beat outlaw in st, but if you get good rolls, outlaw st is great too.
assn definitely bursts much higher than outlaw st
Rolls aren’t that major
assa is somewhat decent in m+ aswell right? if one were to play either asa or outlaw for all pve content, would asa be the pick?
All 3 specs are good
for 5min_ boss fights i feel like rolls would play a huge part, the best rogues can fine tune it , but there is a lot of rng for parsing high too
honestly that would be a playstyle preference if you arent trying to multi-spec. all specs perform well in all forms of PVE content right now.
sub looks like the easiest m+ spec to play. fok+powder spam. xD
in outlaw u have tiny window to react, really requires high neurons usage in brain xD
Zoomer class 🙂
didnt play outlaw since legion , is it not the easiest m+ spec?
Lots of rng doesn't come from rtb tho
Rather kill time, boss mechanics
every spec is easy mate
subs single target is pretty hard though. One wrong button and your rotation can be fucked for quite some time
what if your drunk, playing with 1 hand and old 
then you play assa or havoc XD

i'm playing assa

how realistic is the shade thingy from theodar in M+
cuz we constantly moving
what anima powers are yall using in m?
interrupt, shield, plume
for soulbinds as necro in m+, i have a hunter and demon hunter for my dps (along with myself of course.) Should i go emeni or heirmir
Thrill seeker and theotar seem like such Sim traps with all the movement in raid
guys can u tell me what is the correct opener for venthyr assa? cause on logs everyone seems to be using different openers
thrill doesn’t drop off much with movement but theotar does by a lot
Hey, craft doomblade with haste / crit?
Yep
does doomblade get 5% envenom damage from the korthia bleed trinket?
doomblade has no interactions with trinkets afaik
back to 
Did 6.8k overall in a 13 ( was a mage/feral as the other 2 dps )
Sad didnt hit 7k
Good morning everyone! I was curious if there was a BIS trinket I should be looking for out of Mythics? And if I snag one would you all suggest that be the focus of my Valor?
Phial/shadowgrasp totem
And yes honestly
I regret not doing that last season
still runin zoldy for m+ ?
Thanks so much! Brand new to rogue so I am needing all the help I can get! I appreciate it.
or just runin outlaw ?
Do you want to run outlaw?
you're asking in #assassination if we play outlaw
If no yes until we can get obed
errr
No problem! Ask away here if you need any help
We are more then happy to help
If you want to play sin for M+ yes until we get obedience unless you’re necro then you continue to use zold.
Some people do switch to outlaw or some do sub now
I really love playing Blindside on Assa, its really fun. However, I see all the people playing elaborate planning. Is it much better than Blindside?
no, in fact it's worse
It’s not better per say. Just people prefer it but it’s not that bad it’s like 50 dps loss for some people
And it’s easier so people use it to hit one less button
Ah that sounds great. Just makes the spec feel more fluid to me.
On fights that have more then one target
also, it's better for anything but pure ST so if you dont want to swap talents during the raid its better
It is better though
This is probably 90% the reason
And when do you go Crimson over Poison Bomb? Bomb for ST and Crimson for AoE?
And if you use Crimson, would you use it on a boss? or is it wasted?
Alright thank you 🙂 one last question: Do you ever play Exanguinate? I really love this ability
Meh, but I think the fact that Blindside can be played hypes me enough ^^ thank you a lot guys!
No problem! Blindside is fun with the procs
Yes, especially if you are dry on energy
Just adds the extra bit of fluidity to the spec to make it feel round
i dont know if this has already been anwered, but i couldnt find it in here. So im looking to minmax as much as possible in the new raid, and after the venthyr nerf, im not sure what spec and covenant to choose, and im not sure if further tunings will come. Can anyone enlighten me please? 🙂
The pins may answer this more but venth Is slightly better then necro. Once we get obedience that is, but even after that the two most competitive covenants are necro and venth
venth pulls about 100-200 dps ahead
If that
Sin and sub are the go to ST specs
Sin is really good at 2/3 target cleave, not sure how good sub is at that personally but I assume it’s fine.
Outlaw is the main M+ spec people do but a lot are going sub
If you go venth it’s easier to switch between sin and sub
Necro is for sin/outlaw players
Do you know if there will be anymore tuning?
I’m not sure but I wouldn’t be surprised if mythic sees tuning to classes
Give it about 3 weeks and I’m sure we will see more
Once mythic starts, there won't be anything until the race to world first is done, but then after that there will probably be.
so right now im playing necro sin.. would it be a gamble to go venth sub?
Nope! But that’s assuming it doesn’t get nerfed but
If you want to play it I would say play it
Necro sin is fine too
my thoughts is that since it just got nerfed, it probably wont get a nerf anytime soon.. if that makes any sence
That’s fair, assuming blizz is smart
Worse comes worse though you play sub, it gets hit and it’s an easy switch to sin
even as venthyr?
Yes
Venth is amazing for assassination
The sims from the pins our fearless CF @balmy condor did
And this is subs
are we still crafting doomblade + obidience on cloak?
You’re welcome!
Any time you need help our peeps here are happy to help
ty
No problem 
how much more DPS better will necro be in m+ than assa
It’s not
when they get their new soulbind thing
Oh
I don’t know but I believe the sims include full soulbind tree
@digital zodiac
Triple potency obedience gives venth the edge
okay great, so for high end m+ and mythic raiding venth is still going to be very viable
Yep!
thats what we like to hear
Necro is a valid choice to if you want to play it
well i stayed venth when alot of people went necro, been seeing some content creators lately saying necro is BIS all round
so just wanted to double check here
Content creators are weird
basically we want Doomblde for ST and obedience for AOE both on cloak
?
I’d just personally use obedience
Doom is barely ahead
Didn’t mean to @ you fuu, answered my own question
hello, can i ask which legendary to craft or wait for 48 renown?
i play assa and wanna do m+ also raids at some point
thanks @odd hazel ! big help
Do you not have a leggo ?
If not craft doom at 195 and the. Craft obedience next week
No problem!
i have 210 doom shoulders
should i upgrade it?
i was thinking of getting dashing scoundrel cos of the energyt regen
sounds nice
if you dont care about your dps, then sure get dashing
Don't upgrade it -- shoulders are a domination shard slot, so you don't want your legendary there. Craft doomblade / obedience for the back slot so it won't conflict with the shards.
does this lower our spells?
so doomblade is the only good one? even for m+? i also hate that we have to use shiv now
feels so bad
@sick cairn ya
tested by myself yesterday works on energy cost. If you have this power definetly spec into EP/DS
In the pins there's a chart of the dps for each of the soulbinds + legendaries. Doom and Obedience sim very close.
EP?
reduces muti cost to 35
not blindside?
i dk for first boss there are tons of setup viable, like reducing haste on gear and increasing versa/crit etc ( if you have this anima )
And shiv is amazing ... who doesn't like 10k envenom crits?
only 10k?
With my crap gear, yeah 😉
i've had close to 20
does anyone have a list of really good anima powers to get for tarragrue as an assa rogue?
Honestly, tarragrue is so easy that it doesn't matter. Just pick things without downsides. Also, the AoE damage reduction power is great, you can just ignore the darkness phase completely and stay on the boss.
oh nice
i'm not used to pressing shiv
so do i craft doomblade again and it's good for all content?
Doomblade is really only good for raiding
what do i craft for m+ then?
or use my 210 shoulder one for 2 weeks before i get flagellation one?
Zoldyck pants for m+
Zoldyck felt good in m+
Obedience is a great legendary for all content
So if you want one that works for everything, that's a good choice.
but i have to wait for so long for that
Depends on your soul ash situation. If you're limited, I'd wait to see how people feel about obedience. If you don't have a replacement shoulder piece with a shard right now, there's not a lot of rush.
So long is next week?
Well if he is crap gear, he might not be renown capped for this week. Could mean a bit of a wait, but I agree waiting till R48 seems like the best bet. Even if the lego pieces will be $$$
I mean, even if you're not renown capped this week, you get catch up renown to bring you to cap.
True, still takes a nice bit of time ^^' Did the swap to venth just this week and boy was it a boring grind.
*last week
Yeah, I swapped last week too. It was annoying, but went pretty fast.
I also suspect obedience will feel better than it sims, with reducing the CD.
a ~1 min cd is real good
But we'll see once people start crafting it.
No clue - TO THE SIM-COPTER
I use agi on everything
in m+ do i just want to be using vendetta on cd unless its a pack before a boss?
Should i choose Necrolord or Venthyr for 2v2 arena?
yes, but vendetta is a really weak CD for AoE and you dont want to full commit to the vendetta target
alright, thanks
same thing with shiv in AoE, you can use on CD, but dont lock into that target to envenom it
Man Warcraft logs sucks on mobile
Is the rumour true, that if Edge of Night drops on Normal, you can upgrade it when you kill HC Sylvanas, it doesnt have to drop there too?
no, thats for the legendary bow
Ahh feels bad
Get lucky? Oh man those are terrible odds for me

lol remember farming Raden in nyalotha xDDDDDD
At least we have weekly vault now....
Not sure if the weekly vault is close to as good for getting loot from 1 specific boss as bonusrolls were
I like how they nerfed Spriests last night but not rogue single target lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
King of stabby bois continues
bonus roles for some azerite for your neck you mean?
I mean.. you obviously get something all the time, but odds of you getting smth from the Boss you want + that specific item if you do.. 😁
I remember in eternal palace I swapped to DH. Was kinda undergeared. Getting dragged through Heroic by the guild. Bonus rolled Ashvane and Orgazoa. Got both trinkets LOL
how much % up is windfury totem on sin?
I saw a chart say 2.2%
sim yourself
ok thx
For Venth the crit one is probably better
now that obe is dead should we switch back to necro
If your a real one your necro
Are you guys getting 5* quite regularly in torghast? I feel squishy af trying to solo
Im seeing a lot of stuff that venth is now dead regardless of the recent sims - what’s the situation?
Same
Havent seen 5 stars either
There's not much use getting 5* honestly currently
I got 5 stars last week from layer 9 but I haven't done layer 10 yet
I've got it twice but it's kinda whatever
You need 5 to unlock next layer so lame.
Isnt it 4
well same thing xd
I used to just skip to last bosses
now you have to clear each floor to unlock next layer
Yes, it's 4
It's definitely not the "same thing"
4* is really really easy and doesn't really require extra effort
5* needs extra work
I didn't get a single damn item from hard mode either
at least you have the mage mount lol
It's been a shitty week, lol
@limber lion You going to run Obedience or DB? It looks like it's only like a 30 DPS difference
24DPS* difference
Tbh I'll probably make Doomblade as my first r5, but I'll get Obe at r4 as well
obe is inferior option
I'm not sold on Venthyr.
Obe nerf really that impactful?
So if I go Necro, I'll have Doomblade ready
Been holding all my ash in case they destroyed it
Come back over to the stinkyboys
It's quite a bit yeah, but still definitely a great choice.
It’s still the best overall choice
Likely will
Unless you a stinky bone boi
It’s so good having sbs back
I just swapped back to necro, it was only 0,3% behind in single target and obedience loses to zoldyck in dungeonslice with my gear
I’m just not sure I wanna go back to 40 renown again

That’s literally 1h of work
To get back to 45
Is it
Yes
Okay that’s good to know tbh
If you haven't done callings each one gives 1 renown
You swap back, weeklies and callings all give 1 renown
All the sims showing venth still ahead tho
And then you do souls and anima for another 2
Oh dreamy
Not by much though
In ST maybe but
m+ it don’t matter
True
Check cleave sims
I only really raid prog
I mean
We’re all too fixed on ST patchwerk sims and dungeonslice imo
He said venth was ahead
I know SBS will win in that situation
I just answer with sims we have available
I might try out Necro
Again
It’s at 38
Ye replied to wrong comment sorry 😄
I just dont want to farm renown lol
It’s an extra chore yes, but not that much work
Compared to the Korthia bs we have to do everyday
Are we being reunited? 
I know, I’ll prob go do it tonight when I get home

@fallen arch I’ll be a bone boi tonight
You boys making me contemplate switching
Not like it’ll be hard to switch back
It’s just hard because I love flag so much
It’s bot even close to slapping that dot on everything you see from a distance
You get a
and you get a 
anyone noticed an issue with blind applying deadly poison?
The sims include the obedience nerf right?
I’ll prob try it out this weekend after raid. Worse comes to worse I easily switch over
Yes
So why still be unsure about venth
because it's close
and venth means nadjia
I don't like nadjia 🙂
I mean, Necro could very well be good on 2-3 target situations for a while
Bone bros didn’t wanna leave home but did. Now we get to return 
venth obedience is probably a comfort pick for resetting burst windows
I didn't 

Huge gamer 
Truly the most loyal in this sea of covenant hoes. Respect
It's not like I did both return quests and just waited for obed to be available 
"loyal"
So won’t get touched?
But obvs do m+ for gear etc
losing half the vers was still a pretty big tweak, I doubt it gets any further tweaking
Ye makes sense
they just put it more in line with the other options, it's still really really good
They reverted the fury nerf so debating whether they’d do the same for obe
Ye true
they seem to not want us to have an outlier, it's like they take pride in us having balanced options
which is cool
Yeah I follow
This channel is so fickle, one day stinky bois, next is vampire, now everyone jumping back to stinky bois lmao
People wanna min max, you can’t blame them
I just miss fleshcraft 😦
Swapping covs before mythic tuning, that was the mistake lol.
i don't miss transmog XD
I like to min max too. I understand
I'm venthyr now from Necro, but my rogue got benched for my Spriest, so kinda irrelevant in prog unless we need melee ( lmao
)
fleshcraft is so strong ...

I mean, sub venth obidience is still over 600 dps increase over sin according to pinned sims so not sure why ppl wanna go Necro again
If people don't want to play sub and are sin main
Toxi 
If they are saying they like to min max, then you play the best spec who cares if you like one more
sigh, fuck it.. I think I'm going back Necrolord
I much prefer SBS and fleschcraft to this flag shit
flag's cool I don't mind it
Min maxing one within a spec is different than min maxing your spec. If that was the case we would all switch to Spriest or frost mage
One spec to rule them all , one spec to find them , and in poison bind them :p
idk I'll ride out the venthyr bandwagon until mythic week
What spec is necro "bad" for?
Sub
Ah, I dont' want to go sub
Idk I'dsay most people would prefer to do 600 more dps if they are at all interested in being competitive, which is why people are in this disc in the first place but anyway
Then play either venthyr or necro
Ya I mean I'm the person who will say play what you want
Why is Shadowgrasp Totem simming so high ? I remember it being a terrible trinket
was it buffed or somethign ?
But for a reason as to why venthyr, that'd be it. It's kinda a safe pick
Sims early on didn't account for the trinket having a hasted proc
imagine not using the shadowgrasp since march
It's a trash trinket to use... It feels horrible to drop and seems to never get CDR for me. I just used IQD
just macro it with vendetta, no ?
Phial and hateful chain gang
What-I-manage-to-drop gang
Can't forget to pop a trinket if they both are on equip 
IQD as a rogue 
It's juicy if you are venthyr and have more crit than haste
guys best anima powers for assa in m+ ?
whats the prio in single target with CT? Do I maintain it 100% or let it drop in favor for envenom during a shiv window?
Necrotic dagger decent, rest is kinda meh
The second one. Only let it drop in shiv windows 
thank you, thats what i figured
Good shit best of luck papi 
volcanic plumage is juicy AF to bully trash packs
We’re here for damage
I totally did do a three stack of volcanic on sanguine tho
Funny as fuck
I do think there’s a world on fortified wheee you GIGA pull with three stacking volcanic
I get like twice the damage as my boomie mate
is sin still chill apm wise? only got 1 hand to play with atm
Very
Movement sucks but can 100% one hand it
Also chill in ST, not chill in aoe/cleave
as long as you arent cleaving....i find it sometimes hard to keep up on 3+ packs
The axe one is good for me. Idk about y’all.
The axe is fine - especially since we’re already execute gaming in keys
But it’s pretty comparable with the stat boost as well
Where necrotic > stat boost
Guys, and about this what say ?
It’s still fine, pins still have it simming well. They redid them day of
!opener
where is the best legendry slot to put doomblade in ?
Cloak
Thank you @mental fog
with recent trinket buffs plague trink still top?XD
How do you add power infusion in simulationcraft?
Power Infusion will be cast on the player at 0 seconds, 120 seconds, and 240 seconds.

So how does the vestige of origins work?
Would I still need a 262 legendary for me to upgrade it?
so is sin good as you are gearing up or should I stick sub for the quick burst until I get geared?
It’s an optional reagent crafters add when they craft the base item
Okay, so it ignores the requirement for the 262?
During leveling sin sucks but it’s fine once you hit max
Idk what that means
it means that will I have to have the 262 base legendary item
You buy the base item from ah
I presume a lot has changed since bfa?
You never use vestiges yourself if you're not crafting the items themselves.
So I still have to have the 262 even if I have the vestige or origins
?
OH, i understand now

not during the legendary, during making the item itself, got it
you put it on r3 or r4 base
not alot, sin plays more or less the same. missing shrouded suffocation sucks in M+ though.
How does sin compare to outlaw on tyrannical weeks?
You have to buy the base though, which is 450k on my server atm 
unless youre on sume insanely dead realm
it shouldnt cost more than 100-150k
since its just r3-4 base +40 crystals then some minor mats depending on armor type
It "shouldn't" but crafter scarcity+demand people are gonna list it for high prices as long as it sells
its really easy to craft tbh
but yeah as long as dumb people are buying no reason to not try to sell high
laughs in selling belts for 300k+
is there a list anywhere for preferred domination loot
They prefer the ability and the cleave
Getting awfully close to calling it a bis list there bucko

We don’t do no bis lists round these parts

Those pepe icons are BiS tho
Cuz necro ability feels more satisfying to use than flagellation, also necro pretty good for outlaw for m+
And cleave situations for assa
sbs just feels much better as well
!opener
!guide
What doesn’t feel good about flag though?
Never tried SBS so not sure how it feels
But I really like flag
it gets really satisfying in larger groups when every sbs is basically a finisher
I've personally thought sin was great this week. I only have a pure haste set and 213 daggers, so gear is big trash for m+, and I've been putting up 8.5k every dungeon. Almost all 16s timed so far. Never felt like I was doing anywhere near that as outlaw, but full haste might be why
Also bosses are living forever in current gear so having doomblade and single target is nice.
whats your guys highest dps overall in m+ as assa
is Sub rogue performing better than assassination ?
Not yet as far as I can tell. Sub will increase in strength more than sin as people get sylv daggers, and I believe the unholy domination sockets. Not sure if the latter scales with subs shadow bonus or not
Managed like 7k in a 17 .. but seeing people numbers here that’s pretty sucky. Deffo need to work on it
Depends on your tank, too.
That’s true
highest ive seen was 8.6 in mists 15 i think
That’s pretty banging
kinda depends on legy and if tank even knows he has a assa in his group that has to restealth
most dont care
My tanks I run with don't care, makes me super sadge.
even my friends dont let me restealth some times
just to troll
current pack is 10% just straight up run into the next one
Yep that.
and after the dungeon hit em with the "eh kinda low dps"
Feel that... tank always says we have no time for that sadpepe
assa trash xd
Or nothing needs to be silenced, might as well
Oh really??
Ah interesting
Is the reason ppl arent running CT on eye of jailer laziness?
or is PB actually better
I do mean in m+, and at what number do you start FoN instead of mut? 3+?
On a not moving boss on ST, PB is better
Might not have enough crit, but seems like 3 targets is iffy with fan of knives building combo points
But more targets and/or heavy movement CT probably wins
If you are running CT, then you maintain the dot any time you're not in a Shiv window. If Shiv is up, then you let CT drop.
4+ is fok
Sweet thanks
but the abductor has almost 100% uptime
and also the eyes in p2 are constantly moved
Yeah but the eye is stationary
Idk, on the Eye CT might be fine I guess
I couldnt be bothered to switch after first boss
Maybe others tried it
All parses are with PB EP Vigor
was just wiondering if it was just lazyness of not wanting to swap
Yes.
what unholy shard are actually the best to use?
And if curses of weaknesses is applied, how does it works?
it stacks
Stacks
All of em
You socket all dps gems + 2 of the set you want active
Where do you ever get the shards at
from raid bosses
Is it just random ?
I’m never gonna get them fuck lmao
You only need to drop them once
be as lucky as me, get all the gems but not a single gear to put them on 
You can get an item to remove them from slots
I’ll be the opposite censi it’s fine
2 defensive shards from full clear poggers
do we still socket 1 agi gem
You can sim it but for me secondary stat gems are better now
Am i fucking myself up trying to do high keys with raid gear
Meaning high haste low crit
23% crit 26% haste
its not ideal but its not going to brick your key
might not be ideal but youre fine
I keep getting haste mastery gear
Mastery isn’t awful in m+ right
why does bloodmallet say dashing is bis for sin ? lol
dashing is very close to doomblade
but idk what sims theyre using
maybe theyre using sims in which our poisons arent bugged
no clue
Mastery is generally 2nd/3rd best stat in M+ because it has more value in aoe
sim it but make sure you unselect “always use” or else it’ll put the agi gem in even if it’s a loss i think
crit + versa on new leg we all agree ?
isn't bis for leggo crit haste though?
i just uppgraded my 225 legendary legs into 235, wasnt i suppose to get free gem slot ?
legs cannot have a socket
nvm simulationcraft got it on crit vers aswel, i know nothing
so no
only on socketable slots, not all leggos
alrighty thanks
!guide
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
Not really
Helms, Necks, Bracers, Belts, or Rings, are these the only gem slots avaible ingame ?
i would say only the first floor feels kinda weird if u get double elite and no empowered buff
so according to the wowhead guide, every leggo is crit + haste
ONLY obedience is crit + vers
Seems like a piece of cake to me. Not as easy as Pally or Warrior, but easier than monk or hunter. Based on my experience anyway
obedience is crit vers because youll be using obedience to flex onto sub
i guess simulationcraft and the wowhead guide are not up to date then 😛
what do you guys do on trash packs that dont live long? I feel useless on them. By the time I get a few bleeds rolling they are dying off and I end the pull with like 3k dps.
It’s pretty easy as rogue
Is this a low key or?
for the extra versa that obedience gives ?
would sub be better for m+?
You would much rather get the haste
nah it was from heroic raid yesterday, just felt bad on trash.
Trash isn’t important
We priotize crit haste
No need
Sin is fine. Sub is better yes but@you can perform just as well
yeah i mean maybe that's why the sims / guides say that this would be the better stats for obedience alone
I understand but knowing what to do there can help translate on weaker adds or like you said overgeared keys
cause of the vers value
if its a really low key you just simply won't have enough time to get your damage rolling on small packs, if running zoldyck you wont benefit much from it etc
if im running low keys with people or just trying to farm 1 item and get into a low key, if other classes have the burst aoe down i'll just run doomblade to nuke bosses
it really just depends what the other 2 dpsers are
like if you got a monk and a hunter with you in a 10 key on tyrannical, you're not gonna be doing much on most add packs as is
do your normal stuff but you can prio more for nuking bosses instead
I mean I am a CE outlaw rogue so I dont need to run keys as sin I'm just trying to learn the spec completely
Outlaw 
I ilke to be well versed in what i am playing, even if it is unoptimal
if its a high enough key or w/e that burst dps classes dont kill it inside of their cooldowns then we can start to catch up
but yeah sometimes odd pack where its like oh did 5k cuz the monk and hunter overlapped cds
Yup
cleaving is so aids as sin lol. I may just dual spec and run outlaw for those fights
Just farming 10s for trinkets since my 15s are done for the week and I'm just running doomblade
Yeah if you're necro I prolly would unless you just want the time on sin to get more used to playing it
well, my team comp is pretty much DH tank, Resto healer, Ret, Frost Mage, and me
I think what I'll do is run full sin until we get to mythic and make a new decision then.
I was carrying that load on the aoe packs with my ele shaman
How the fuck do you sim for Shadowcore vs Sharpstones vs both with diff pots on raid bots or do it need to input each combo seperately
trying to figure out if I can fit in that group or if I need to run my rogue on another group
although, we don't push high keys, only like 15's
Rogue should be perfectly fine there
Might lose some time on packs compared to an ele shaman but you can make up for it on boss damage
just have to get caught up, had the rogue dusted for filling raid spots with needed utility since last expansion
fastest way for that just doing m 0's now?
Probably m0 and korthia, can do maw rare runs on accounts with friendly rep at deaths advance to buy armaments until you can just farm 10s or so
Cleaving is the easiest thing as sin
And we are good at it
Keep bleeds up, pump into first target
GG
Cleaving is so much fun, you have like 100% uptime on EP
Sin makes sense
But we are now catholic vampire sinners with spooky red mist blades
yeah i get why ppl use sin but we should embrace ass yknow
Fair
Sorry guys, very general question but currently the assassination rogues in my guild are simming the same as hunters (in their current state) with equal gear. Looking at sims as a whole (before hunter gets buffed) they appear to be well ahead, is it a certain conduit/legendary which gives them a big power spike?
hunters 
are your rogues 210
may i ask you to share us the rogue sim? 🤔
Sure one sec
no offense
They are not 210 😂 ... They are 230
I should have said AoE. 2 target cleave is brainless, 3 can get a bit tight for me and 4+ kinda throws a wrench in it.
Tbh 4+ is just FOk spam and spreading crimson, rupture and garrote. And refreshing snd with evenom
Do you use your first finisher on a rupture or a CT? Icy prioritizes CT but I feel energy starved if I don't get a rupture or two up quickly
the zetsublade guy has a lot of mastery gear
are you sure that is his raid set
instead of m+ one
Garrote x4, SnD, FOK and spread ruptures/evenom
Prob not the most efficient but meh
Garrote x4 or x3? I usually do 3
Oh you guys are using subterfuge
