Sorry guys how do we use flagellation with obedience? Im familiar with the standard "line up with vendetta unless you loose casts" but i was wondering if anything changes with shorter cd
else reload your website and add the legendary items again
With assa being pretty decent dps right now. Are we #1 PI targets?
no
elaborate why not
its better for warlocks iirc more dps for them than us
sheesh ill take pi's tho
any idea why people prefer EB on painsmith but blindside on guardian?
EB can be on demand "burst"
there is a pi list pinned in #wow-general
i see
Also depending on ur stats, BS / DS sims higher or the other combo
Cheers1
EP right? if someone is using EB on painsmith I want their names
ah yea i meant ep

or echoing blades for the ultimate pad on balls 😉
cant speak for everyone else, but for my character EP - vigor x BS - DS is super small
and I prefer to use EP - vigor
It’s like 30 for some people
it was smaller for me last time I simmed
and for short fights or fights where there is more than 1 target EP + vigor was always better (for my character)

its not 😦
cloack works on the dropable dot
but pretty sure you can cloak chains and it stops doing damage for the entire duration
at least it worked for me twice last night
we need help updating it from you beautiful people 
yeah sure, ill test again tonight to make sure
i can soak the dots on p3 syl
I will say though peeps have been dropping good info on the google form
just gotta sit down and implement the stuff that people submitted and I've been kinda lazy/grinding keys
yo where does flag conduit drop? 226 or moar
wheres PI value
I used cloak before chains where everyone gets one, and 0 damage
aaa private log 😦
yeah I accidentally learned you can cloak the chain damage myself
no one was grabbing a chain during the torment
so I ran it and then cloaked to not die
Pinned in general
Does envenom sacale with mastery
pi/wft/banner values are in #wow-general
if blindside sims higher why does it seem like everyone is using EP in pracitce?
sylvanas dies at 50%
Placebo, plus for me personally DS plays EXTREMELY slow
ep better in multi target so eye nine pain soulrender, etc
But also for sylv specifically - and a few other bosses, James nailed it. But there are many like painrender BS/DS sims better but still run EP/Vigor
@spice spire thank you, I see now to just use shiv on cd, I was holding for way to long. Think I read on a guide to not cast it if garrote or rupture will be falling off soon, holding too long to have it line up with vendetta/ if I thought I wouldn’t be able to attack the boss for the full shiv I’d hold it. I see now I should just cast it on CD no matter what it seems. Thanks for getting back to me!
Anytime papi best of luck 
Would you guys drop the 252 for normal daggers if they pop up in the chest ?
No
Got the Smuggler's shoulder heroic, does someone know if the proc is worth putting 3 ice shard?
Are you guys running just M+ talents in Tazavesh?
tazavesh isn't m+, i was just swapping between outlaw and ass the entire dungeon
since you aren't locked
nah I just went in with full ST build
trash falls over pretty quick and you need to burn some bosses
like mailboss that bugs out because reasons
yeah trash is negligible in taza
our general strat was hero and burn each boss, seemed to work for just about all of them
any tips for painsmith as assaination rogue?
any tricks?
does feint work for raid wide hammmer damage?
maim/mangle only sims 6 dps below well-placed steel
if i swap it, i never have to press shiv for dps again right
MM is always a small gain, WPS is a bigger gain less of the time
Is there a reason ep sub and ds are simming highest for me?
Is MfD only better for PvP and dungeons? Is it better to run vigor or DS for raid
the assassination segment on wowanalyzer said it was not being updated, is it useable in any way? I just killed guardian of the first ones on heroic, got an amazing 14 parse and the tool tells me that "there are no major issues in this fight"
R5 or R6 lego or should I wait
dont use it , very bad and outdated

WTB Clean Plater Profile any suggestions?
lol what? forgetting to press shiv would be a bigger dps loss than a conduit swap
it's the weakest of all the talent choices for raid.
is there any high key m+ player that streams/records their asassination keys?
I’m waiting
why
does anyone have pi dps gain spreadsheet?
Pinned in #wow-general
dont mind
how many times should i upgrade my shards?
hey guys on the nine do i just do my opener before I DoT up the second boss or DoT them both then flag/vendetta
@balmy condor why has their been no mention of dashing scoundrel.
Cause it’s not the best at anything
Seeing it ahead of doomblade atm for st and zoldyck for add cleave. just seemed odd
Yeah it’s always been in the shadow of doomblade. Definitely a viable choice, but not crazy enough in any situation to justify crafting it ya know
And then obedience changes the timings on flag which could have an effect on certain fights
And so you already have a doomblade, and you have obedience
And they kind both do single target, and dashing does that, but not better
And then for aoe you wouldn’t take dashing, or doomblade
So it’s just sorta the guy in the back of a group picture trying to get his head into the frame but can’t because he’s at the back
very interesting thank for the clarification on that. much appreciated

Rogue Defensives usability: http://tiny.cc/q602uz
Hello, is there anyone playing Necro assasination rogue who can help me with the opener? And yes i have read all pins. None of them anser the question. Is it still Mut,Snd,Mut,Gar,Rupt. But after that? Mut,Shiv,Vend? So when do i actually use Bone Spike. I am playing MA btw.
Open SBS
open with sbs into snd after that proceed as normal
then dumb sbs charges into gemstone window
sbs -> snd -> everything else is the same
Gemstone window?
heimir's gemstones
ah
if you don't have a WA to track it, I highly recommend doing so
for ST you j ust make sure you don't cap bone spike charges
and dump whatever you have available during that window
still finishing at max-1
I am tracking it. Thanks alot for the help! Came back to this patch after being off since BFA.
never had IQD on my rogue, I'd imagine I hold the second IQD usage for third Vendetta?
is the necro lego that bad for m+
yes its dead
i do not think you hold it
what was the damage bonus on it before the nerf ?
So what Domination bonus do we want? I almost got frost ready
i mean before they nerfed it was 2 extra projetiles and bonus damage wasnt it
no, you had 5 charges and 2 extra bones
they nerfed it twice someone said
im not sure on that
guys i was lookin at sin statistics and ive learned that if u have wrist enchant on its a dps loss https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/423274902301179919/864247461739364393/unknown.png
Yes
Though it depends
On the fight timer
thankfully i have never put on this enchant and therefore am always max dps
ty for headsup omr, needed that optimization
np rozay just lookin out
seems like the roleplayers who use shaded hearthing just do way less dam
does rupture get empowered by vendetta if you do it in the window , even if vendetta falls off?
or should i just use it on env
There isn't really any form of snapshotting in sin outside of subterfuge and Nightstalker
so the ticks of all our dots go up while vendetta is happening and go back down after?
i will test rn and let you know
Yes
so do we craft new venth lego for raid 😄
anyone recrafting doomblade on back next reset?
my main issue is that i can either get 1 more envenom off in my vendetta window or reaplly rupture right before it falls off
obv u want rupture up tho
so i just tested it , and you still get the empowered rupture even when the vendetta falls off
yo, did anyone explore more which of the three powers in m+ is best - the axe under 30%, stats or bolster? I imagine the bolster depends on dungeon, but anything more specific?
no, dots are dynamic
so it does snap shot, along the same lines as how nightstalker and subterfuge works until you refresh the dot
Vendetta shouldn't snapshot any bleeds
no vendetta just makes the target take extra damage for 20 sec, doesnt buff the bleeds themselves
so im getting 416 dot damage reg, then 457 with vendetta
probably pure stats
and it remains that without vendetta on if i applied it right before it ended
should not happen, post combat log or warcraftlogs of that happening
!PB
Deadly Poison doesn't apply on some casts like Garrote, Rupture, and Shiv.
It's a minor bug but "notable" in that it does have some noticeable impact on DPS.
Should be around a 100-200 dps loss
think they are going to fix that bug or just let it rot
!guide
yee imo
best aoe and st
with next week being foritified , sin should be cracked in aoe with zoldyck , stuff wont get bursted down right away
2 leggos you’d probably wear obedience baseline then continue swapping between doom and zolds
so I applied 3 ruptures in a vendetta window , the first one was 476 , the 2nd one was 433 , and the 3rd one was 416
Post log
Tho im pretty sure it was figured out over 2 years ago that the bleed is dynamic outside of subterfuge and nightstalker
Correct
Vendetta will never snapshot bleeds
Freshly dinged after re-rolling for guild, I have went venthyr but the guides seem to differ on what legendary to focus. Is it recommended to wait for ven legendary or go doom blade/zordyck
Are you just looking at the tool tip or checking actual damage in combat log?
I assume raiding?
Yes raiding
Doomblade or wait for obedience tomorrow if you plan to do m+ /sub
If it were me I’d go obedience since you’re probably behind and want to run dungeons for gear a lot
Behind is an understatement but guild are going to help me out, assume I need 48 renown for it though?
Correct
But it offers flexibility over doomblade
Since you probably don’t want 2 lower ilvl leggos or endless torghast runs since there will be better options for your time
on painsmith. do you guys damage the balls or stay on painsmith?
Use the balls for funnel

I’d spend today doing renown/world bosses/1 good m+ key
Thanks mate will focus on renown and grab that
yo sorry if dumb question but should i craft doomblade legendary for shoulder, hands, or back?
back
Pin: cloak
awesome ty ty
elaborate, sir?
Game the balls for resources to funnel into the boss/ball
Rupture give energy energy good, fok give the cp for the finish for the damage big energy lots of damage ook ook
Go sub for bigger cheese
I did at the start of it
is it actually worth to rupture some for the energy regen? the middle one gets blown up super fast so that one doesnt seem like one youd rupture forsure
But then I got nothing but haste gear
Yes.
alright alright, ill give it a go next week 🙂
Stilleto me daddy 100% sblade uptime
2 shadow steps on that fight is quite nice
Aight bet, 600 haste on sub go go go
Can’t get crit pieces to save my life
Go vers
Then you can sub bb
My monk tank binds me for his so’leah
Same
Your problem is you just need to try to not get crit
same i still run the boe ring
Then you get 37% randomly
Wheres my dagger
fuck
I run a fleshcraft ring, the heavy mastery/crit one
Tfw hunter got bow before you got dagger
Lmk when u find it
i would suggest obi for raiding, while doomblade is simming 0.34% higher single taget, many fights have add spawns or other targets to hit which will push obi ahead. I would get obi to max rank first and then if you really want to min/max have doomblade for purely single target fights, but you probably wouldn't notice the difference much.
yea top ring and SD rings are lit
big crit
of course raid has also big crit on sylv
but keekw killing it on hc
I’d like to
one shotting again
Hey is it just a feeling or cant i get 3 spells in MA? i have 15% haste
also finally free from 220 shoulders
is the garosh trinket any good? now crit is shown as my highest stat
Having sack of terrors and shadowgrasp totem.. both sim higher than a 226 phial.. sack of terror just proc way more than other trinkets?
is the venthyr leggo going to be the choice still after the nerf?
crit in M+ feels good, 5 CP off a FOK 
sack is busted yes kriz
thanks
heyo, which set of shard we equip guys?
they dont exist, shards are not real, they never drop :<
for me they do 🙂
I believe you want the UH 3 piece, and the dps shard of the other 2 types
@strange silo if you have like 0 energy when you use vanish, you'll miss a cast during ma. You should look at your energy before pressing it so you know that it's enough for 3. Rogue gcd is always 1 seconds so you should get 3 casts easily if you are not energy starved
thx
Damn where’d you read that
i was looking at the m+ leaderboards and i see people using doomblade in m+? why
am i geting jebaited?
No I’m praising him for essentially copy pasting the pins
I can read, praise me
Cause the log out with doomblade

wdym
If they log out with doomblade equipped, they’ll show up on the boards with doomblade
They are logging out wearing doomblade so you'll never find out they are using tiny toxic blade 
ohh ok that makes more sense cause i see people using raid talents too, thanks
Seliathan logged out with dreadblades talented for like 3 days and people went fucking crazy thinking it was the new meta

Funniest fucking thing I saw all of 9.0
!sims
Simulations:
Herodamage: https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
is our bis gear the same just higher ilvl?
Whispyr have you managed to kill painsmith yet?
More iLvL more good
I have
Really good fight. It's a good kind of hard
WE struggled so much on Paionsmith on thursday. went in with three less otday, and it fell over in two pulls
hey, at what sim dps increase/decrease threshold % should I swap from EP/Vigor to BS/DS for ST? Ofc I find the EP/Vig playstyle is more smooth but for me it sims roughly 1.3-1.5% lower than BS/DS. Not sure if there is a general rule of thumb I should follow
Guys, Obedience still bis for vent, after nerf?
as a main assassination for raid and out for M+, should i change to venthyr?
I brought this up a few days ago, I also run doomblade because depending on affixes/dungeon/group make up, adds often don't live long enough in execute phase to be worth using zold. Shrugs
Obedience baby.
If I'm playing Sub for ST and Assassination for Cleave. Is Dauntless Duelist the way to go over the 3rd potency conduit for cleave fights?
For anyone that is bored and want to help, i challenge you to find a player skill difference on GotFO HC in
this https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wAdtTWZKG6N71Bbj/#fight=last&type=damage-done
and this
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1AkvBpwqGyQfJ2nN#fight=46&type=damage-done
log for the assa rogues. i cant for the life of me find one that explains the massive difference (including fight time).
welcome PM if you find 1. 😄
ran it through analysers and seems like same or similar CP spending/waste/regen, vanish usage etc.
Only thing i can find is atk power and windfury diff + gear
Eh. For me its 100 more haste and i can still use my badge on use
you can start by getting more crit like on all enchants and gems, its ur best stat but the thing u got the least off
having 15% crit on ur finishers nad missing out on seal fate cps is bad
Best overall covenant? I do like 10 keys a week and have 2 raid nights 6 hours total. Is Venthyr MUCH better in raids and Necro MUCH better in dungeon? I see on logs it's roughly 50/50 but it is also just the first week so logs aren't really consistent yet.
Painsmith ez if chains don't go full brainlet
Honestly only thing i get from pins is that venthyr is better in both
check the "tinyurl" link, its got actual breakdowns
Is there anyway that Sylv dagger is oversimming ?
possible, yes. probable? no.
Damn it doesn't stack on dummies
Here it sims for 47K dmg for 5 minutes, on sylv heroic I barely hit 12.4k
carver's eye in heimir is kinda nuts for m+ isnt it ?
Sure the boss moves a lot and there is some downtime, but this is less that the third of the sim
Is it worth running triple potency over Dauntless?
Sim it
True
It can be
But depends heavily on your build
Atm with my sub build they are basically the same
is haste/crit best on leggo?
hey folks, just a quick talent question
for single target, whats the dps difference between EP and blindside? currently running blindside but just wanna know the difference
It’s different for everyone
Depends
oof
Have you tried simming it?
Usually Blindside/Deeper pulls ahead in pure ST. By how much is different for everyone.
not recently
The kelthuzad trink? Its one of the best out there
Anything with 2 or more targets you could look into EP/vigor but again, try simming yourself.
Which leggo?
Yes crit haste on sin legos
you run whatever sims higher for you. some say blindside/deeper "feels bad" to play as it can be slower so they default to EP/vigo.
Unless ur multi speccing
Yep
Obedience can be crit/vers if you want to play both sub and sin. It won’t make much of a difference at all.
Sylvanas doesn't go below 50% health, the daggers have an execute mechanic, it's not going to do as much damage on that fight
Oh the "more injured" refers to to health, thought it was about the stacks
if you're necro there is basically no difference in ST between EP/Vig and BS/Deeper, on venth BS/Deeper pulls ahead the more gear you get, but as mentioned I'd just sim it if I were you
also i believe ep/vigor pulls ahead on shorter kill times, and bosses where the boss doesn’t go to 0% (sylv) since you’re not getting the extra value from blindside from 30-0%
but ya sim it, for most profiles it’s close enough to play what’s more comfortable to you, since you’ll do more damage if you’re comfortable with your rotation even if technically it’s a 20 dps loss
do you guys also get this weird bug on some bosses where if you use SBS on pull it doesn t get applied and u lose a stack?
Havent had that happen yet
i need to check logs again
that s giga cringe if it s true
That way he cant parry/deflect at least
Is it normal having to wait for energy regen before Garrote and Rupture in this opener?
With DS yeah
Unless I've also been doing it wrong 
Maybe it is 🤔 i dont remember having to wait at least
But maybe i did for like half a second
I mean it's not a long wait
Not sure not on pc
And in lust there is no wait at all
^^
That u have to wait a bit
Happens
Ye pain smith would constantly parry my opening mutt lol
super duper crazy coding ig
damn gz
It’s a joke

An actual joke
we should have hit chance again
Except sylv
and expertiese
Orly
Idk if she does it on normal but 100% on hc
Tell us more
Shell just shoot you
Nah not on normal
XD imagine you mutilate while she is doing the jumpy thing in p1 and she fucking parries
I think she just hits way too hard on 20 man lol
Apparently her damage falls off hard with 19 man
i dont wanna wipe on the last min of the fight forever
Apparently there was a bug
Where ud get to 03
P3*
And anduin smites your entire raid
While ur still stunned lol
Looool
gaming actual gaming
How much haste should I be shooting for? Or is just as much as I can get?
Sim it tbh
Frankly that’s a skill isssue
roger
wtf do u mean u cant heal your entire raid while you are all stuned? are you stewpid? -ion
rupture is worth applying if it lasts for 4 seconds with doomblade right?
Only if you’re energy starved
And clipping something that’s about to die
Doesn’t matter what leggo ur using
Imagine not outhealing that smh
Ouch
easily healable just get iqd, use it to get out of the stun and spirit link omegalul
It’s still happening??
Sylvanas also went flying to the skies during p3
That must be actually hella frustrating when u had a clean run
We had that. Either she got stuck in the air or refused to move away from previous platform.
accidental mythic mechanic, banshee fly-by
Gotta love how we are still in ptr
It's always a fun time
Then she just stops doing mechanics sometimes. Gets 24 stacks of ranger buff because not doing tank heartseeker.
Bro people have been getting stuck on flight paths anyone hear about that??
Fighting the boss for 10 minutes
so if I'm not energy starved is it better to just envonom
only for her to bug out
if something is not gona last the majority of the rupture?
My buddy’s warlock was stuck on a flight path that went to the top of the skybox and never came down
Yes
Or use a low cp rupture. Depends on the time til it dies, etc
kk ty
Yeah i personally use low cp rupture and then envenom just for the energy regen
Yeah depends if it’s an add on a ST boss, I’d rupture it for sure
If it’s mob in m+ and you have plenty of energy regen already just envenom
Situational
Same
1 min flag sounds fun
Sub keys gonna slam
Hell ye brother
They already slam tbh
I just love the red dagger effect
Yea for sure
Big time
Halls, mists, necrotic wake and SD too
But DoS the most for sure unless you’re omegapulling
What about top?
lul
Top is a lot of low target
O nvm just saw
yeah and even the bosses in top have a lot of cleave
It’s still decent enough to play it
Sin beats out sub in top imo
Yeah I personally will go sin in top
And maybe spires
For sure
Just saying it’s doable
It’s not complete cancer
Not only the dmg but the utility from garrote really helps on ghosts and the rest of the soul corridor
tbf, outlaw slaps ToP
and spires
waiting to try plaguefall out with sub myself i haven't tried it yet
Sub is very average in plaguefall
Pulls just too small on average
But you smack the third boss real hard
guys, when to use venthyr ability in opener?
!guide
had a rogue in my raid tell me best to use it right before using rupture to "take the combo points" with it
that is correct
although second one the finisher you use does not matter
okay thanks. But you see, in the guide it is stated to use your cov ability right after rupture
look for example icy veins
mut, snd, mut garrote, rupture, vendetta, covenant ability
thats why I am asking 🙂
so thanks!
well now you knoe the right way at least
but yea use flag first before rupture
then siv vanish mut
is raidbots not simming the sylvanas dagger correctly? it's telling me my 220 and 213 dagger are better than the 233 from normal 
How much difference does it make in ST? Pooling energy for 3 envenom 1 shiv versus slamming everything in cooldown and being energy starved all the time?
not a huge difference, this is something to do once you've optimized everything else about your gameplay. from what i'm told.
3 envenom 1 shiv isn't the goal
it says that in the IV guide. i get 2 most of the time unless i get lucky with procs idk
you pool energy before using envenoms, to be sure you can reapply DoTs when they need to be reapplied. and so you can burn a couple envenoms inside of shiv window.
Yeah i think 2 is ideal 3 when lucky
energy starved feels icky to play imo im always feeling panicked about having enough stuff to top off dots, but i think i got spoiled from playing outlaw so long
yeah but if you don't get ANY envenoms inside shiv
you still SLAM it
if a mechanics coming up, you slam,
Really hard to maintain all the dots esp garrote while slamming 3 env per shiv
it buffs poison damage
Is cloaked in shadows just bad now?
Oh EP/vigor btw
i just have an aura that tells me when shiv will be up in like 15s so i can halfass attempt a pool/try to manage the dots
it does ok
Cloak of Shadows?
no the endurance conduit
For pve recup best
it seems useless now that it falls off so quickly
Vanish is a defensive cd now 
i use recuperator
as sub i guess you could
Has anyone gotten the Slyv dagger and played a bit with it? My DPS went down 1k from last nights normal painsmith where I was doing 99s to tonights HC painsmith where i was eating shit in grays. I swapped SBS Conduit for Main and upgraded a 226 dagger to a Slyv 233 dagger in MH. Played the same way, not really any more downtime in HC than in normal, legit my envenoms, poison, rupture, garrote, melee DPS all went down by 100 DPS, while my mutilate, leggo DPS, trinket DPS stayed the same.
not as much of a sacrifice
Normal to heroic
Only good groups have killed heroic
I'm trying to detective my ass through logs now, really cant understand what's going on. Swapped to outlaw for the last pull with the Sylv dagger in OH and immediately went back to 90+ parsing
This
Maim sucks in ST. sudden fractures do better
I figured that might be, but my outlaw parse is still high 90s
That is the case until you link logs
because no good rogue is currently playing outlaw in raid
And yea no outlaws
How i feel in opener with deeper strat. So slow
It boils down to being above average on normal is easy and on heroic wall boss where hardly any guilds have done it and those that have are good
Maybe no Outlaws, but I'd imagine the guilds who kileld it with outlaws would be something
why are you obsessed with parses?
Like you went from taking a lambo against minivan moms to taking it to an f1 track against pros
Lmao I'm not, just felt like I was hard underperforming
it is known that parses do not have any value for wipes
no just saying
this could very well be a very good parse if u got the kill in that try
Well I figured that, but I've had 99 on every normal wipe, no matter the timing
Also if you haven’t killed it then no comment either
this
You're focusing way too much on me being gray, IDC about the parse, that was just a example. The issue is that all my DPS went down
The DPS that's not compared to other people
Because there’s fall on on wipes
No? Because I'm comparing with wipes as well.
Apply some critical thinking. Less mechanics and shorter fight on normal
Versus
More mechanics and longer fight
this
If you are doing things correctly
maybe you have to play traps and drag them outside
Then that’s all you can do
maybe you need to target switch on the spike balls because ur ranged are lacking
that is all costing you dmg
exactly. and then you dont have to worry that much. Just sim the sylv dagger and trust the sim
or play without it, idk
I bet he got 3 PIs on normal xD
wf sims like 3% damage increase
not 100 dps across the board
downing into 1k dps
still, if you are sure you doin absolutely corect
*everything
what do you expect us to do here?
Right, just looking for peeps with Sylvs dagger and their experiences honestly. I'm aware theres plenty of clueless casuals looking for help every day through the discord, but I've been Mythic Raiding for a while and parsing 90s on early progression runs before. I'm very much aware of how times affect things, wipes, etc. Also a log gremlin.
I'd appreciate some actual critical consideration rather than just the default scpiel of explaining how parses and logs work.
you could go hit a dummy for a bit if you dont trust the sims
Commenting on wipes on a boss with intermission is stupid.
We’ll gladly compare logs for you of before and after on kills
Phial and Shadowgrasp lol
since when is shadowgrasp good
Fuck, I have to farm dos if I want to be a super min/maxer now?
did they buff it
9.0.5
hmm, and all raid trinkets are garbage ?
the one form guardian seems decent
hc guardian trinket perfomred better for me than 233 phial
i guess stat proc trinkets are kinda bad these days
yea guardian is better than phial after buffs
are there updated sims with the buffs
So, best lego for a non venthyr? I keep seeing/hearing both doomblade and scoundrel from different sources
realistically for prog you'll end up playing like
phial sack, phial shadowgrasp or phial hc fusion amp
oke so they're very close, cool ty
yes
and what is fusion amp
raid trinket
guardian trinket
ah the guardian one
I mean, also just look at your normal fight timings
each phase is starting right when your vendetta is coming back up and you're getting a PI with it
sack really any good tho?
got it on 233 and its simming very bad
sims worse than my 233 sire trinket feelsbadman
weird, lemme test again
make sure you're simming on nightly too, the sack fixes were only implemented a few days ago and i'm not sure if they made the weekly build yet
having a hard time believing it'd be 1k+ difference across the board. I'll go hit the dummies a bit comparing the daggers and check if something weird's going on
Always nightly.
some of what you use depends on how fast you progress, too
is a 4th garrote worth in m+ when opening
like sack has a lifespan of it
basically tied to spare vlaor
since it's not better than fully upgraded phial/grasp i don't think
thanks, seems to sim better now
nhc sylvanas dagger is only 100 dps vs my 213 dagger that cant be right ?
link it
running double celestial on the single dagger sim
swap it to sinful and rerun it
(also if you got a sylvanas dagger the 213 would be in your offhand, not the 207, so that'd add some gains too)
someone said sylvanas dagger has more value in offhand
made sense when he explained it but i cant remember what he said
the only value that i know of that it'd get from being in the offhand is like, you have a 239 mh a 233 sylv offhand it's still usable and decent
not like, i have 1 sylv dagger that's 233 and a 207 better use the sylv in my offhand
was in warrior discord idk why but he said "Because the proc is the same, but offhand hits do less, so it’s worth more as a percent of total damage for the weapon"
wat
painsmith heroic tonight, wish me luck not to utterly f--- it all up 😐
I really don't understand where I should be equipping zoldyck's insignia. It seems to be worse in every raid encounter
from purely an overall dps standpoint it is
and probably won't see play this tier
not that it's useless, basic fights like remnant where they get progressively more difficult between phases it could be argued for even at an overall loss
but i won't be playing it
fk that noise
So are we just running one lego this entire patch?
100 dps for a weapon enchant 
Also, I see a lot of people using the necrolord conduit, is that really better than Main,Mangle? It certainly doesn't sim higher
ill be running obedience!
those poor trinkets...
xd
I feel for you hoss ❤️
is there somewhere i can find a fairly detailed m+ rotation guide
sudden fractures gains value in situations necro likes, prolonged cleave
i have nothing else
and it kinda did sim better than maim mangle for most of 9.0, so i guess for some people it still does or they just haven't added conduits to sims in a while
Gotcha
is the 4th garrote worth in m+
Lastly, do we still use any other lego for m+?
Guess I can just craft my other legos
for different specs i mean
not really hide
zoldyck is the key go-to just because it actually does something when you press your aoe buttons
obedience might be decent when it's available
I'm necro so i'm not using obedience
I'm also necro and disobedient.
so it seems that zoldyck would be best for fortified since you can benefit from the dot damage on multiple ads
nice
painsmith is easily the hardest heroic non-end boss we've seen in a long, long time
fun stuff, though
yeah i enjoyed the fight
but it's gonna wreck pugs
gonna be the pug killer unless it gets nerfed
anyone know how i can make it so details doesnt reset when i vanish on a target dummy??
pls?
use overall damage
i do and it freezes when i vanish
i am not sure why my dps is looking so weak for my ilvl https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vVYiRwujDnyw6VjHeUZr3e
New to rogue, so maybe i'm missing something
apart from my garbo weapon
!Deathly
dynamic overall damage
maybe on mythic progression
what do you mean?
Zoldyck might be good on mythic progression because execute dmg is always welcomed in mythic prog
Since deaths are inevitable
Don't take my word for granted
shitty trinkets & siming without buffs
trinks are def shit, i've only been gearing for 4 days
but i don't think they are like 1k diff
which buffs am I simming without?
bloodlust, mystic touch, chaos brand
you're siming without bloodlust & debuffs
even windfury
jeesh, akimbobimbo is pumping now baby
is there a log analysis/help channel?
usually there are people that take a look and give some suggestions if they are lurking
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/fPn9R3XM4qNbBvKZ#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=5 ok well if anyone wants to tell me why Im awful lmk
so are people planning on swapping over to obedience?
will prob go back to necro as well after I'll have some fun with obedience
Im so much looking forward to crafting obedience and having some fun with it
Not going necro for sure
Venthyr always in my heart 
for H domazain, 2nd vendetta comes off just as he does the big dance, are you guys popping vendetta there or waiting for the dance to end? ty 
why is the sylvanas dagger simming lower for me
can't really say much from a wipe, buy from what I've see, just make sure to have bleeds up before you go for mechanics. I assume you got the dispell debuff considering you had a big gap of damage
wasnt a wipe unless I linked the the wrong thing
there was a kill in there though
you did link the wrong thing
my bad
you died twice in that log lol
ooh, it was death
yea my bad the log updated before i linked it since we're still in it
meant to link the the nine kill
finally 229 phial and totem
is there a reason?
link the sim
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5Zyg5pGFiHeK1E6KBNiu4g
im prob being stupid but there ya go
wait
im all kinds of special
Thats actually funny cause the dagger sims much higher as off hand for my outlaw than mainhad for my assa 
I apprecaite the attempt Kojack ❤️
Im going back to rogue after not playing it since like, uldir... not sure why I did so bad on the nine
I usually check bleed uptime, cooldown usage, and energy/cp wasted while also comparing it with top logs
but that's what I do for myself
seems you did fine to me?
well, it's a cleave fight
I mean I felt like I played well but 60% doesnt seem great... Ive done a lot better in the past than that
there is some bleed downtime on the bosses
it's easier to look at pure single target fights to find mistakes
also on cleave fights, there is also a lot you can do to improve damage
no enchants
i realized--- re-simming now xD
When talking about cleave fight, during opener on 2 targers, should we dot two targets before popping cds or we should focus on single burst following with dotting second target? 
back to the janky sleep schedule?
dot and then pop
yeah, I'm on vacation 2 weeks
also 2 targets is more fun on necro for me

Roger 
as venthyr you want duelist on Kyra I think as she is higher HP
so you open on her with a mut, dot the other one and then continue on Kyra
guess that should be the play there
but I had a 83 on the Nine so I also have a lot to improve there 
i had 85 
f
ehh, first week
fact
still better than overcapping CPs like mfer
I used dreadfire vessel 10 sec in the fight 
first raid back was such a disaster for me lol
well, first bosses are kinda easy
so you kill them before you learn cooldown timings
or if there is something that you should keep track of
yeah my timings were all over the place, you kind of take the amount of pulls & kills for granted
The Nine looks like a fun fight
the nine makes me rage when im on my heal alt
shit no not the nine
the uhhh other one, the boopy backy dispelly one
nerzhul
boopy back dispelly one is acceptable
on heroic it's kinda fun
I get knocked back
instant shadowstep
just to get knocked back again
its especially fun when someone in y our group thinks the dispel is the "run the ball off" mechanic

and they just jump off and kill everyone
tempted to play subt on it just to play with 2 shadow steps
there are a few fights where a 2nd shadowstep would feel good
Anyone able to advise which rotation is better for burst window. Using ma/doomblade/necro: vendetta >shiv>vanish>5cp envenom>mut>envenom or vendetta >shiv>5cp envenom>vanish>mut>envenom>mut
mutilate>garrote>rupture>vendetta>shiv>mutilate>envenom>mut>envenom>double sbs > envenom
obv envenom if you have 4 or more combopoints
*if you play heimir and the buff is up
Thanks for that, so where would vanish fit in? And what skills to i want to squeeze into the ma/shiv window?
also forgot about vanish after shiv
so it's
Rupture>Vendetta>Shiv>Vanish>Mutilate>env>........
or vanish env if you don't rupture before vendetta
it's situational
Ah so having 5cp rdy for shiv doesnt matter? Just shiv and mut?
if you are not unlucky
any 3cp mutilate critters in chat? 
any parry first global?
any sbs deflecters? XD
that bitch inerva was like neo from the matrix
she matrix dodged my opening SBS like 5 times in one night
I was so tilted
on inerva it makes sense, she is frequently targeting new players for whatever reason and faces you for half a second
enough to parry you
while attacking from behind
very fitting thematically tbh
@hollow escarp or do what my tanks do and tank on opposite sides so you're getting parried constantly
taunt swap -> envenom parried 4 times
me whispering RL "If you don't teach these mother fuckers how to tank I'm logging off"
can anyone take a look at a log for me and tell me where i can improve im new to rog
have you guys noticed that there is a 3rd mob on painsmith in dungeon journal?
I've done zero research on the fights and have gone in blind every time
yes that is a mythic mechanic
the only background reading I did was the pineapple game
u fight the mob in the intermission
that sounds fun, while people can't do the fall guys game
just kill it 4head
No, 110k to everyone
You have to kill them before their energy bar fills up basically
How lese can i get a higher lashing scars???
you can get a 226 from mythic sire denathrius
otherwise you just roll conduits and pray
I think the world boss drops the newer conduits at a higher ilvl doesn't it?
the anime sphere thingy?
it can drop from any wb or you can buy it on the pvp conquest vendor
the only world boss that drops at a higher ilvl is the maw world boss I thought @gusty mirage
yea it is
yea normal world bosses one is 200 ilvl
others drop garbagio
I've been off my rogue for a while, is assass decent in m+ now or is outlaw still the way to go?
assa is fine in m+
Cool
ya boys still grinding m+ as assassination
Sort of yeah haha
I played a metric ton of outlaw in m+
but I've always wanted to play assass, just found outlaw more consistent in m+
yeah assassination is good in m+
been playing rdruid recently but eyeing coming back to rogue
whats the best pve assa legendary rn
all 3 specs are good in m+ with outlaw still being the preference at high key levels
yeah, hard to dethrone outlaw at that level
doomblade for raid, zold for m+. Next week obedience wins in m+ if you're venthyr
thanks for the help on it lads, much appreciated
wrd ty
I play as nadjia and keep theo for sub
^^
only thing I change is maybe maim for lethal poisons
yea nadja as assa is really fine
but I haven't bothered this week because of tyran
even katar is quite fine
yeah I play triple potency nadjia for m+
lashing katar and deadly poisons and maybe change katar for maim or well placed for raid
I can't bring myself to playing katar
knowing the conduit gives me 5% more crit and getting 1cp from fok will make me punch my monitor
ahaha well if you think about only one fok you will be sad but across the dungeon it checks out

i plan to do a fasti blasti normal on wednesday afterr getting obedience
to get doms and maybe dagger
oof my parses are all grey 😂 fuck
first week parses 
you have 10 months to figure stuff out
oof
surprise 3 boss raid
featuring soleah electric bogaloo
now with 20 stars
and mail boss bugged
whatever im doing better than the other rogue in the raid so im good
that's how it works, right?
Careful, that other rogue might be here lurkin on disc! 😮
è_é
so say in our vaults this week we get a normal Sylv dagger as one option and a 252 dagger as another, without sim, whats the gut pick?
think the normal sylv dagger has to be better for heroic/early mythic prog
i'd take the sylv dagger tbh
but thats because i have shit luck with raid boss loot
prob sim it though, unless you know for sure you wont b egetting a heroic version any time soon ( Still sim it )
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear
through Top Gear.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
wo, first 15 done of the season boys
Haste ver for sin? I thought it’s haste crit
what stats on obedience for m+? can't find it in pins 
crit mastery
Dom gems drops from normal and also from heroic? Or only 1 diff per week?
1 per boss per week
So if i got 2 and my mate 8 thats it?
You guys got gems? Sadge.
30 speed, and buggy lifesteal
Update on painsmith prog, 25 pulls no kill, BUT I was top damage all night and that resulted in getting PI all night, got told my mechanics improved, but my damage on spike balls is low, how can I improve that. All of my deaths to spike ball were from being to close but I am hitting the ball while not getting touched by the ball has been… challenging
Genuinely terrified of the spike ball
are you venth?
Guys, do we have BiS trinket list?
@cyan dew chest blood mallet
Yup definitely Venth
They're updated ?
Also Bag of Ticking Bullshit from Tazavesh is busted
i simmed it for me and it was worse then totem and phial
and I’m not having a problem avoiding the balls, but they commented on how low my damage to the balls was
yeah, you can then turn around and damage it easier
Idk, damage to balls is rly low for sins
I simmed it today and it replaced my phial for like 100 extra dps
we can't do much

is our lord
