Do you guys have your 3 set bonus yet
I litterally killed the boss the day after the big Assa buff back then
Saved the best for the last second parse 😄
I was rocking that night for some reason
I had like 3 pulls in a row that were all 99 territory
Sire was such a good Assa fight as well
Felt really dynamic doting everything etc...
is it normal my simc is better with heimir doomblade than nadja obedience ?
Sounds normal this week yes
El famoso zone
Litterally Sire encounter
Yes Sire was really fun actually
where you move around step here dot here, door here etc...
SLG was maybe one of my most hated fights in a long time but Sire was great
I really enjoyed the way the fight was layed out
yeah same
But yes Draup, I am still Necro this week because of that
I may change next week, haven't decided yet
Dotting Remornia 0.5sec before she leave for massacre
Big pog
to refresh before she leave for long time
Guys have a question idk if go for sin or sub and idk if i go for sin ill be able to compete woth tlher in m+
Or i should just go sub
Sin is fine for m+
hahaha yeah nah Sire was such a good Assa fight. I wish I had done the entiere progress as assa
i think i miss something obedience still under doomblade at full covenant for me. can you explain what's make it strong ? thanks 🙂
I really think you should play doomblade as default
Ye
it's much much more consistent
Oo yes 🙂
so i’m just confirming, if you’re running obe you flag on CD and try pool energy before to max stacks, if running DB we hold 2nd flag to line up with vendetta every time, correct?
Yep
Obedience will underperform everytime you have Flagellation off-CD for an extended period of time because you either deal with intermission, or whatever
It will also underperform if you can't line up with vendetta (which is the case if you need for exemple to push for a phase that last like 2m30 or 4m30
And even if everything is perfect for Obedience, like timers are ok, no downtime, etc... it still only just equal to doomblade.
Doomblade is just plug and play big dam
exactly
what do u think is the best neco or vent. i see a lot of neco in top right now..on logs
Obedience is situationnal, if you really want to have these frequent 1m15 burst.
awesome thanks for that!!!
another question is i seem to be running out of energy on my opener when running BS/DS, is this normal on dummies? or is there a haste breakpoint or does lust on pull mitigate that?
OR am i just not at a gear point where running BS/DS is viable?
i’m 226 with 25% haste and 24% crit
idk I think Venthyr is still very good because of Flag damage pattern when line up with Vend
running MA over Sub on pure ST fights in that helps
But wouldn’t obe outperform DB on heavy cleave fights with like 4+ targets when u use fan instead of muti?
And this raid is full of these
how about Obed in m+ it seems really hight do u think its worth it?
Or to multi dot to funnel into boss more
I don't know I really don't enjoy Assa in M+ anymore
ok
I'm doing much better running MA over obedience in m+ as sin
When you have played Assa in M+ with 3xEB / 3xSS + 51% crit
back in 8.3
you really can't enjoy 9.x assa
in M+
Morning Rogue Friends, I will need some help to understand what I am doing wrong here on wow analyzer I have very offen this message : You failed to take full advantage of Master Assassin. Make sure to prioritize spending the buff on Mutilate or Envenom ( Fan of Knives is acceptable for AOE). During your opener Garrote, Rupture is also okay. ( I am vanishing and using muti or envenom without overcap combo points) can you please let me know what I am doing wrong here ? thank you
The difference in flag CD is hardly noticable and it's much better to have set CDs up for specific mobs anyways
When u have played assa in m+ in legion with PB oneshotting the pack…
Don't use wow analyzer
u runing obedience in m+ or just doom and MA?
I've messed with obed, zold and ma
Zold technically sims 80ish higher on dslice but I enjoy MA playstyle better and generally have much better overall using it as well
Dude ! In Legion I was playing SUB
I had a titan forge 950 ilvl warglaive
it was insane
Sub was playable in 1 raid:/DfA was buggy as shit but so fun to play…
I miss those times
in M+ it was insanely fun and good
but you needed that glaive
It was just crazy, basically you would Glaive into SoD + SD into Vanish into Meld
100% crit Glaive with billions of steroid
Yes, because it scaled
80% of my dps
Was so freaking insane
But EB/SS was really enjoyable as well
like spamming FoK into Tol Dagor big pull
Sniping some mobs with rupt for a quick kick in energy to basically never stop FoK'in
It was non sense xD
I’ve skipped all BfA:/ Couldn’t play without my arti and 3 posion/vendetta relics
The EB sound was ASMR to me lmao
The rotation was like 2 times slower
It still work and still is uncapped AoE btw
I used to do Freehold leveling back in pre-patch 9.0
only reason I was able to was because EB was still uncapped aoe
Is there a general rule when i am supposed to use EP or blindside and vigor or DS?
From earlier -
EP/Vigor is better in some situation, namely :
- Non-execute bosses
- Bosses with frequent downtime mechanics.
Sylvanas fill both
blindside+deeper is very similar to ep+vigor on single target, ep+vigor is better in aoe
yeh sure
the downtime thing is questionable

but yeh
could also just sim talents
Well tell that to Miki since I stole the thing from them
the d word applied to a new context 
Morning friends. Quick question, why do i see alot of players going Elaborate Planing + Vigor ? For me Blindside + Deeper sims 150 more on ST 🙂 Is there any particular reason to still go EP + V? 🙂
I think the idea behind the downtime thing is that it forces you to pool which innately leads to better usage of the EP
read the last 5 messages above you
oh sorry just wake up 🙂
What a the best sin leggo for m+. Also it is assasination as good as outlaw or better/worse
The best sin leggo is toxic blade for sure
pins
I am a necro boy who can't decide if the switch to venth is worth it and I am suffering from fomo seeing all the obedience sub logs. I love M+ but I hate Outlaw, played Sin Necro for 9.0.5 Anyone switched to Venth and regret it ? If so , why?
some ppl droped doom for obe on raid here ? how they feel the leg ?
Stay doom is the general consensus
Obed is really niche in raid and ends up being more work just to be even with doom
For now
Uhh sir this is a Wendy's, I mean sin channel
If you want to play sub then yeah go venthyr if you want to play outlaw stay Necro
Just got renown 48, anyone know how to unlock Obedience? Cant find it anywhere
damn its so nice to force-bench myself so i keep having 3 hc slots for weekly box for dagger /s
@oak sky Ya you're right. My bags were full XD
Any necro sins in chat
Necro is actually better than venthyr right now until next week? I think? Maybe two weeks
What's gonna make venythr better?
I went necro to play outlaw but assassins st seems too good for raid to raid as outlaw xd
Nadija last trait
20% crit after 20% haste seems good and that's what nadjia gets
I mean Necro is only like 250ish dps behind venth in ST
Right now or do you mean in 2 weeks
For full sims
Ah pins are for mythic sylv daggers+ 80 condoit
Like fully geared bis stuffs that full
Ye
I would say there are enough fights that have adds to make Necro perfectly fine for sin in raid
Ty
You might even parse better than venthyr if you are optimizing your boner spikes tbh.
doesnt following the env rule of dont press env if below ~100 energy give you less uptimeon EP?
Kind of?
Ep isn't doing a ton while just maintaining dots vs what it does during shiv slamming envenoms
this is nuts, rogue in guild has had 3 new daggers drop since the patch, here I am a ton of m+ in, no luck
the one run of plaguefall where I got a weapon, the dungeon gave me a poxstorm while loot specced as sin...
But that's also why ep it's preferred when you have things giving you extra energy Regen
that's actually just not possible
I'm aware
loot spec was set to current spec, current spec was sin
did the run as sin
and yet, it happened
You guys simming double lightless as your best as well?
....

Sorry, you guys right, for some reason I've missed it. Although is Exsang so bad atm?
It is
anyone here running obedience yet
exsang is dead now, it needs a rework most likely
Yep
how does it feel
i really wish they didnt nerf deathspike i was looking forward to having some fun with that in M+
Does similar damage to obedience
they def overshoot the nerf
Lets get a Petition rolling to make deathspike viable
was it that good in the PTR when it hit 2 extra?
deathspike would have probably had some niche use if the secondary target spikes would give refunds
but as is, its quite meh
From what i have seen on herodamage its quite a bit worse than meh
@balmy condor So it's it confirmed that i can only get one dyz chance per boss per week? Or is it not confirmed yet
Esp for being a niche lego
Yeh that's what I read but then I saw people debating it
nah its confirmed, we've done normal/heroic both weeks now and mythic this week and no one got a double drop
Ie. Cleared heroic then do normal and see zero shards ?
Hopefully they change it idk
Yep
You only get one chance per boss no matter what difficulty per week
Yeh I agree, waiting for them to drop sucks donkey knob but the good news is that there are 9 and you only need them once
I even tried lfr for the memes before they confirmed how it worked
Yeah it'll be fine later
Just sucks for prog
Yup this is why I asked
Indeed
I got a bek to drop which is ok but still no dyz. And then I still have to find two more UH after that.
Got the 3 UH, and both dps one for blood and frost o/
but i guess i'll wait 2 months for sylv dagger 🙂
link a sim
Unholy isn't correct in sims yet right? I heard it's not updated yet coz it actually thinks blood set is better for me which is just straight wrong
Confirm
damnnnn that chaos bane
I've got zero dps ones, feelsbadman
Honestly I just have shit rng and I love it
Wtf
I've done 2 full clears on normal/hc and a couple mythic bosses and I'm at 3 shards myself.
I hate this
retweet
Only 1 chance per boss regardless of difficulty 
Still 20 bosses and only 3 shards 
I have all of them but the 3rd unholy one :/
I have 6 shards, and 1 of them is a damage shard, also 2 of each color so no set bonus
How's your prog going Whispybae?
Heroic Guardian tomorrow
Ah. Soon!

We recleared normal in 2 hours
And then went into heroic
And killed painsmith in another 2 hours
its much easier after the nerf
Yeah it was a one shot for us
mythic looks like a nightmare though
After 35 pulls last week
LMAO
Super easy
the new timings on painsmith made us wipe to him for a few attempts
its really awkward compared to how we had to do it week 1 lol
yeah but u can put the bomb traps inside the spawn of the spike square now
yeah
so u have a lot longer to proc them
its super clean
The unlisted timing changes really through my group through a confusion tonight
First pull got all screwy cuz we weren't expecting it
rip
Then it's just like oh it's a joke to deal with now
Yeh I'm the same as you except 5 iirc
Anywhere to get a bis list of m+ and raid together?
what are ideal powers for tarrogue?
We don’t support bis lists
30% agi/damage, howler/acid gland
obligatory loot post
bis lists are pushed by big gearing to sell more enchants
pog
dont let them fool you
whispyr any chance u could have a look at log for me and give me some pointers?
do i need to go venth to do good dps? or can i stay necro
u can be whatever covenant u want to be and do good dps
A chance? Yeah
But like
venth is better for assassination but you'll do fine dps as both
I got 9 log reviews ahead of you
Dm me
😳
Guys, why the sims shows Vers/Crit instead of Haste/Crit on the Obedience? 
for multi spec sub i think
Shouldn't the sims be done with the highest possible results for each spec? Just asking, though the difference wouldn't be that high I guess.
if this is the case prolly due to "soft cap hast"
I blame you 
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
!guide
@balmy condor sim check
I'm confused I thought Obidience was siming lower then Doomblade
can anyone check that i dind't put anything stupid in the sim
on average what stacks are people getting to with flag? i seem to cap out at 20-22 even when pooling, any advice would be great!
Thats it. We dont go higher
yeah don't sweat trying to get more stacks
Thats 10-11% vers. Still ok
oh sick easy then, thought i might be doing something fundamentally wrong, we gucci then
as long as you're finishing right after the flag cast and continuing with mut/ambush into envenoms you're probably fine
perfect
until we have the unholy shard set piece do we equip the 3 damage shards separately if we have other sockets?
the only set i have is frost but it reeks so its better to equip the dmg shard from each set right
Try simming it
I would assume no
I simmed myself and it was better to have 3 damage ones at rank 3 than a rank 3 frost set. The frost gains value in AoE I believe so it’ll be good for.....Torghast?
Pretty sure the set bonuses itself is raid only
The socket on their own are the only things are are active outside raid
Works in maw or torghast
i'm confused why your sim is so high
I am also confused I can't figure out why obiedence is higher then doomblade.I'm like did i click something wrong
Does anyone know why this Shadow Totem trinket sims so high?
anyone use it? is it really that good?
It scales with haste
It's been good for months /shrug
are people making obedience to cloak or just making doomblade to cloak
its hasted
both, doomblade is still better for some gear set ups and vise versa
if your main goal is mythic progress go doom, if not go obedience i'd say
if you only play assassination doom is still better, if you play outlaw/sub too then obedience is fine
they're within like 1% either way
doomblade is just easier, and technically sims highest
still got doomblade on gloves but when i actually get domy sockies pieces ill have to use obedience for a while till i get fucking doomblade recrafted
actually annoying
you can send ash over from alts
yeah
i did torghast on my 2 alts and sent over the 4k ash
its not too bad thankfully just delays making legos on alts
much faster than grinding 200 per reclear
so ppl are staying with doom even though obed sims basically rhe same ST and more AOE?
its better for st period
(havent crafted mine yet so trying to gain the concensus)
Sims =/= real encounter
obedience lose value everytime you are not hitting something
and obedience loses more in real world than doom
you CANNOT fuck up doom
in a mythic progress you'll often need to move, do mechanics or something
you CAN fuck up obedience
yup
learned it the hard way myself, crafted obedience trusting sims
already regretting my choice x)
look at logs for proof, the 50th percentile for assassin rogues is higher than most spec's 75th percentiles 
im suprised we saw a nerf tbh
normally blizz would be more than happy to force people to make new legos
it was nerfed becasue it was going to be a one size fits all legendary
its still fine now
its just not the be-all end-all choice now
just feels so lame recrafting an alrady 235 doom to put on claok
its still bis for sub and its not bad for outlaw if you're venthyr outlaw
i agree, no way to refund ash was lame
i have 3 doomblade legendaries now lol
Or like... just let us buy a new base item and swap it over
anyway thats beside the point lol
so for mythic raiding prog we likely want doom still
Obedience is fine if you prefer the playstyle, its just not quite as good as doom yet
its over 100 dps behind doom for me
it really depends on your gear
Okay cool, thanks!
just gotta sim yourself 
Either is fine still haha, they're both so close that it doesnt matter
they're within 100 dps
obedience is -120 dps for me as well, i guess ill wait for sylv daggers then craft it and go sub
Hypothetically, you have to fight sludge fist, what do you take? Obedience or Doom blade?
doom
is it worth using CT on ST?
yea tempted to switch to Obedience in M+ just for CD reduction and procing Vers proc off theo more
only on fights like sire where the boss is moving
any fight where the boss doesnt have random mechanics that make them move no
sweet, thanks 🙂
or, you could just sim it as well
sick. As ventyr i hit 7,564 DPS with Obedience for M+ but with neco i hit 7,685 DPS ..
Bit of a nieche question, when we see shiv is about to come up, and bleeds are not yet in pandemic range but will fall in shiv window, what do we do, refresh early, hold shiv or refresh in shiv window
usually whispyr would come out
and say
ALWAYS SHIV ON CD
although im not sure about the answer to that
good question i guess
Sorry missed some of the question, they will fall in shiv window its ment to say too, but you understood right
I am feeling what Do i really want to craft it. Reason if u look at Hc most top 10 dps over all in raids are neco and beats ventyr. Pure ST ventyr wins, but i wait 1 more week to see more simcs how good it it is
just use shiv as one of the combo point makers
then garrote then rupture
then continue
So refreshing them early?
in the wise words of Whispyr, dont focus on putting envenoms in shiv windows, just keep shiv up, its a debuff u always want on the enemy
what does obed actually do im an ignorant necro and refuse to change from doomblade
stuck in the past
we have a lot of things as necro to use as
So garrote pandemic is 6, rupture is 8, lets say both have 10 secs, and you have acess to shiv now
Before the shive was ip
Was it worth to refresh early
the nine, we are amazing, eye as well, soulrender is great because of orbs, even painsmith
Or refresh in shiv
i think this is the other way around
oh wait
my mind
Nah
do u use vendetta right on the pull on The Nine fight or do u apply dots first to both targets?
im venth
then u cant be in vendetta vanish when its up
Was thinking the same, do we blow our load on one target first before poison/bleeds on second target as Venth
Burst first
ahh then idk how to answer u
Then mutli dot
i think this is fine
remember to swap target to muti later for the doomblade
alright ty
if ure using it that is
Doomblade dmg stacks, no need to put it on other targets
oh really?
Ye
thats nice
haha i dont have to be pressured about swapping to keep up doomblade dots between two targets
i think the only fight we have that is pure ST is tarragrue, but that boss dont really matter imo
It would be a dps loss too, assuming running dauntless duelist
im necro, so it doesnt really affect me
For the nine, i personally put garrote/rupture on both bosses before i vendetta
Seems to work out pretty well
I come back to check out retail 6 months later and assasin is doing good... finally
too bad ive only gotten a outlaw legendary from when I played earlier
its fine brother
also it seems night fae covenant is bad now LUL
yes, im sad about that
everyone re-rolled?
shiiiiet.
started off as NF then kyrian then venthyr then necro and now i love where i am
So i need to reroll cov AND grind torghast for assasin legendary sadge
although iwanted to see how obedience plays out before i swap back
its okay ,the renown catch up system isa piece of cake
@sick cairn Big difference between venth and necro?
not much from my experience
hmm ok!
but if pure ST venthyr wins
#showtooltip
/cast [bonusbar:1] Ambush;Mutilate
I tried to do this but it didn't work
im not really sure about that macro
I dont really PVP at all if that makes any difference
doesnt really, but if ure assa i would play necro
You don't really want such a macro
necro pvp feels so much better imo
i have one

Hi there
We're going unholy set, right?
yep
yeah but for PVE assa necro/venth difference not so big then?
yeah
Yes but for assa you don't want to press ambush unless it's a bs proc. With this macro you'd be using ambush from stealth too which is wrong
And in bs procs your bar doesn't change like shadow dance
@sick cairn I did remember I have MA i crafted as my first legendary so could technically swap over to assa already
So you can't condition that
not sure haha
i dont really do keys with MA
i am at renown 48. where do i find the obedience legendary?
in ur inventory
In your bag
haha

pls start spamming guys to hide my shamefull questions
Is doomblade the go to legendary choice since im swapping covs and wont get lvl 48 for a while?
For raiding and pvp yes
for m+ keys?
Obedience if venthyr, anything else Zoldyck
I'd suggest checking the pins
That's more detailed and accurate
if ure outlaw main, just like me, i went necro and raided as sin but did keys as outlaw
but in the end its ur choice
Rogue Defensives usability: http://tiny.cc/q602uz
not yet no
If its raid related i think i can answer it
if you have a question if something works
!dp
@sick cairn I main sin but I played outlaw when SL got released because sin sucked
It was indeed cursed days
it was
!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
Remember, remember after sub got turbo kneecapped, and and sin was bad, and we allllllll had to swap to outlaw? You guys mamba? I memba
The memba berries
slightly exaggerated toadie
sub was still the go-to for most in pogress
is meme, but they did get kneecapped though 😦
I remember being so excited to play sub this xpac, then they wouldn’t stop buffing sin
sub got no changes while everything else got buffed
Now I can play sub again if I replace all my gear 
I have no Crit vers, all of my gear is crit haste, every single slot

Does infinitely divisible ooze pull even when you are steak stealthed?
no
the slimes are just visual I dont believe they can be attacked even
yeah they're non targetable objects
Must have gotten knocked out of stealth by grievous then
Ye grievous is annoying in stealth
May or may not have ninjapulled a couple of times this week already
Hey guys, I wanted to thank every one who helped me in this discord and especially @balmy condor . I went from 14-20 parses last week to getting my first 99 parse yesterday. You guys helped me a-lot from coming back to the game! Whispyr and some others went over my logs and showed me where I can improve, what I’m doing wrong, and the best gear set from the sim master. I appreciate it.
Was this in Mists out of curiosity?
Right on, well done
Might be just as bad since that’s a sin heavy fight

Well you still have to press the right buttons, that’s all you
I pugged normal this week and only two of the fights were logged. I’m hype for heroic this week to get better parses. Doing way better. The other fight that logged I got a 92. Last time I did that fight I got a 14 😂
I think so
Probably wasn’t grievous. Kept happening to me yesterday and it bugged me so I combed through my log and found the culprit.
No idea what that ability is or why it is breaking stealth out of combat
Okay I thought it was the ooze or I’m just tripping lol
I keep getting pulled out of stealth from the dam unholy shard I’m using lol.
Which one?
Zed I think
The ppl getting high parses. What ilvl are you? What weps and trinks you got? Ty
You can check the logs
Does doomblade change our combo points generator priority in multiple target scenarios? like should i mutilate at 3/4 targets to apply the dot?
My ilvl is only 226 and I have a 213 wep and shit trinkets 😂
@mental trout what talents you use and whats your opener?
My talents
Stealth - sbs - snd - mut - garrote - rupture - vendetta - shiv - vanish - mut - (gemstone proc) use the rest of my sbs - use envenom at -1 max cp and use mut to get combo points
Bone spike. (Necro)
Oh... im venth ok
sbs?
It’s good
legit good
Vouch for totem
sorry for this noob question but is sbs the opener out of stealth?
Yea if you are necro you want to open with sbs
really didn't know that, was always doing Garrote as opener
yeah I am Necro
U apply the dot right away then
damn, so I was playing wrong all the time
So u replace the first mut with sbs
okay, thanks 🙂
thats true
Why that and not mutilate that can give you 4 combopoints?
Ive been doing, as venth. Ambush, snd, mut, garrote, flag, rupt, cd's, mut, shiv, vanish , mut + envenom
Because u want to@apply the bleed right away
To get the dot rolling, and the combo points don’t matter from the start bc you use snd
Then you use mut garrote rupture
And since it interacts with envenom as well, its better
And ur second global is snd anyway
I see, nice there!
With Obi tho you dont need to mut the open
Cos the extra cp is wasted due to snd being auto reapplied and ambush does a little nore dmg
while we're at it
can i know the general rotation for trash packs
in m+
i garroth 4 targets
crimson tempest
and rupture 3 ?
then maintain comson tempest is it
but my snd drops off more often in trashpacks
if i focus on bleeds
with obe
You use Envenom to maintain SnD
Dont stop at 3
It's very high priority
You also keep using ruptures/garrotes at all times
You never stop
When spreading ruptures on mobs that will die fast you can use 3 cp ruptures
oh okay
I find it impossible to keep snd up through envenoms during trash packs
I would like some feedback on my raid progress. If someone would like to take a quick look at the log and provide some feedback I'll be happy to hear it. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rx3CfXvQVdKa7D26#fight=39&type=casts&source=1&view=timeline
You just have to stop and throw out an envenom when snd is in pandemic
Just prio it more
Instead of applying another rupture, slam an Envenom
Should I let rapture drop for an envenom
SnD is your highest priority.
Rupture can drop, especially if you have multiple targets inflicted with Rupture already
Yep
my only problem with sub is that i have shuriken storm and black powder bound it bad positions so it hurts my hand SO fucking bad 😛
bind them in better keybinds then :v
Rebind them
I’m still changing mine around figuring out what I’m comfortable with
im too used to it at this point >.<
I GUESS I could make a specific razer profile for sub
!guide
is there any up to date written guide?
Yeah, those ^^^
i see the wowhead one is
RH and IV are up to date
ok, ty
Idk if they have the brand new legendaries’ rotation implemented or not but it shouldn’t change your rotation heavily anyway.
Yeah I need to do something as well. In raid you need storm bound to be able to hit BP AND Evis for boss funnel
And my storm button is far from my evis it sucks lol
Yeaaa fucking sucks
In raiding, how many CP should we use to reapply rupture?
Max -1
You can use max. Just NEVER mut with -1 from max cp.
Also in multitarget fights (I can't see any updated guides on this) like the Nine. How does the priority of dots goes? Like what is the max amount of targets you should care to dot up?
You spread all dots on the 2 boss targets
You can rupture the add that comes in for extra energy regen
Then hit it with envenoms
You should use Crimson Tempest on a fight like that with multiple targets
CT on the nine is padding at his finest tho
How?
the real fight start when there is only the last boss
CT does damage to the boss/bosses?
Yea im still trying to decide which bosses we should be running CT
Doesn’t matter IMO.
CT and PB are marginally different on ST
I wonder how much less ct sims then PB on ST
CT is fine in ST
its worse but not by much
Yea I will when I get home
So that’s not padding.
Using black powder as sub on like any raid fight, now THATS padding
your choice
Most ran CT for Sire and it wasn’t needed for the execute phase.
87% PB over 13% CT on the fight in MM tho
So
On Sire CT was actually efficient on most than half of the fight
how good is doomblade vs MA for raiding?
Way better
On the nine CT is really efficient in what, 1mn30 ?
Quick question about our opener
so if i parsed around 75-80 with MA i could potentially get higher with doomblade, since i forgot MA on xD
guys 1 question if i got a trinket with a Dot like NW or PF Trinket do they also benefit from haste in any way?
Some people prefer another DOT instead of PB too
Do we vanish-mut or vanish-envenom
No
@copper saffronrick aight ty
Only garrote rupture and our deadly poison give us energy regen
yes
not many trinkets are hasted afaik
does that also apply on trinkets
Ohhh
aight
like PF NW trinkets they got effects like deals XXXX damage over X Seconds
No idea
you mean bottled flayedwing toxin ye?
@jagged osprey right sir
i never had one to test, prob go to dummies and check urself for a few mins
should be quite obvious if it is 🙂
Is unholy dom shard set still looking best?
Pretty much 3 unholy shards plus the 2 damaging ones from frost and blood
yeah they buffed the sets recently tho i think
Not sure then. I would do what trick said
The UH set was a +450 dps upgrade for me
Did you sim blood set?
nah, still miss a shard
Hello rogue discord, are any of you guys up for looking at a log for me? i felt like i was doing okay, but apparently i suck. so a few pointers on some fuckups would be great
I got unholy today and upgraded it to rank 3 idk if the others beat a 600 main stat proc for 15 seconds
Yeah unholy looks better but its all about procs, if the blood one procs like a madman it could be better
Was the set leveling up with rank of the shards?
Sure ! Let’s see Em
Anyone have any news why Obedience started simming higher again in bloodmallet since yesterday?
You mean, was the hotfixes already up ?
Did u have to upgrade all the shards to r3?
I have 2xR3 shard and one R1 so my set is R1
To upgrade the set effect
How you you upgrade them?
If I get fatescribe helm imma have the set bonus today

So takes the lowest rank i see
Heimir
Ty
dunno but i wonder that myself
Hey just got the normal dagger last night of sly. If I have a 252 dagger for MH the 233 edge can go offhand without any proc issues right?
Better than no helm
Correct
I have NO unholy shards ):
Yeah shard system is stupid
So
rupture/garrote uptime can be a little higher. but they are fine other wise.
Opener looks fine, i would suggest using Agi potions for consistency though.
And I got extremely lucky
So fucking stupid
I have all the shards but 1 blood one
im not the best at looking at these but, im not seeing anything stick out to me.
did you get mechanics a lot?
Check uptimes
seems like u lost a lot of melee uptime
I thought agi was higher for aoe, wouldn’t the phants still be a better pure st with a vendetta and envnom dump?
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
agi are just more consitant. im sure PF with oils can produce a "higher" outcome if it procs enough
I use stones always. Sim yourself and see.
I don’t like leaving stuff up to rng.
And phantom fire is expensive af on my server lool
Idk I got flamed pretty hard for using agi as outlaw a few pulls last tier and never went back lol
Must have missed the change
Some people don’t know what they’re taking about tbh
Half damage double proc
You missed a few shiv casts, there is a big gap at around 3 minutes. You also overcapped on cp a few tiems but its not too terrible. Also, you capped energy a little. Main problem I see is the missed shiv casts
Interesting I’ll have to look into it
@wanton hatch 220 weapons doesn't help for ranks
thanks alot for the feedback. does that really make the difference tho?
does anyone have a link to the Deeper Stratagem rotation?
huge diff
use it on cooldown
yea i know, farming m+ as we speak
Missing shiv casts does make quite a bit of difference
you finish at 5 instead of 4, you also mut at 4 if you're playing DS
you have to slam that shit on cd
You don't pool energy before slamming shiv?
you can do both
!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
Its best if you can pool while its coming off cd
so poison bug not fixed yet
alright, thanks
You can, but do it before it comes off cd
what is the haste cap for rogue? i just switched to venthyr and i am at 32%
No cap
so do i mut > mut > garrot > rupture > flag > vend. > shiv > vanish?
mut > snd > mut > garrote > flag > rupt
Vendetta before flag
That's very true. Thanks
ok because ravenholdt and wowhead have 2 different rotations
you also slam shiv even if you are on max cp
where can i look at the soulbinds for venthyr? is it in pins?
yes
https://bloodmallet.com/chart/rogue/assassination/legendaries/castingpatchwerk obe looks better on this website sims
Was wondering what happened yesterday that made Obedience look like that
Are the sims updated for the slyv daggers? The proc that is
yes
Did anyone do all 10 bosses last week and NOT get a shard?
I did 11 in total and didnt get any
I did Akira and 0 shards
5 hc 6 normal
Sim obi with your own gear
did you do all 10 on normal, or didnt kill sylvanas?
First 5 + Sylvanas
were there any bosses you didnt kill on any difficulty?
doing same bosses on different difficulties wont drop you more shards
^
From Painsmith to KT didnt do them
Okay thanks for the info!
so you basically killed only 6 bosses
yeah
i think everyone gets at least 1, and you obviously cant get duplicates
Nah thats a meme, gingi said they started saying it as a meme
Im only asking because I only need 1 more shard and we only did the first 2 so far this week so I got plenty of bosses to get it 
I've done around 20 bosses in those two resets(LFR, HC, Normal) and got only one shard :/
same. speed shard man so nice
but did you do all 10
you probably overlapped a lot of them on difficulties
if you didnt kill a boss on any difficulty it doesnt matter how many you killed because you only get one chance per boss a week
Full normal, 5 HC last week and 4 HC plus LFR and only 1 shard
yea, it's stupidly rng based tho. some people got like 5 shards first normal run
I got 7 last week lol
I've gotten 2 healing and 1 DPS, so my DPS shard is rank 4
a little extra information, your set bonus is based on your weak shard on the set, if you have 2 rank max shard and 1 rank 1 shard your set bonus is "rank 1"
If playing with Obedience, do we delay Vendetta so that it aligns with Flag?
so you want to upgrade them all at the same time? @plain thistle
basically that, but the hard part is getting 3 shards 
as if loot wasnt dogpoop enough, they make shards droip like this
should've been on vendor lmao. Enough rng to get the gear pieces
eveyone is expected to have shards anyway and its a one time drop so what's the point, just frustrating
never hold flag unless you're going to miss a cast in the fight
Thx 🙂
Are all the set bonuses relatively equal for damage
Shard loot is shared across difficulties?
Like unholy is best, but they are somewhat close
I got a shard of dyz and the really really bad beneficial spell unholy gem
yes
Hello , Venthyr assa here , should i craft Obedience on cloack or helmet ?
cloak
what a great system blizzard made
Have anyone tried Obedience in M+ How dos it feel ?
Do you just flag the main target and dump envenomed in it? Or do you flag CT, rupture
thank you ❤️
You're welcome! its just nice having a 1 min flag.
8 minute the nine kill 
Quick question regarding CT spec in single target (Vigor/EP) are you folks popping it on opener BEFORE shiving or you using shiv first and do CT after?
you keep CT up outside of shiv window
i usually do CT first then shiv/vanish
Just feels like a lot of ramp time when starting fresh on a ST with Shiv off CD
I agree it does, but you definitely don’t want to CT in single target during a shiv windows 
ye ye ^^ its more the opener I was concerned over, unsure if I lose dps by holding shiv for too long, or equally not using CT soon enough, decisions decisions
I personally forego an initial CT in opener to get that shiv on CD
Crimson tempest, the talent
ah thx

I still get confused by half the acronyms in here...
there is certainly a lot
what does it mean when i put the !oil input to advanced sim and it says "fire feast stone/stone" i mean i understand that it suggests feast + 2x stones but whats fire?
ahh
im idiot, i tought "spectral" ment the flask but its the agi potion >_>
im an idiot
I am reading this right? Obed is confusing the fuck outta me I thought it was close behind not this far infront
is there any point in doing the archivist codex rep stuff?
Yeah I know, its the only thing in my bag I can swap the old doomblade gloves off of
you can buy sockets and conduit upgrades
ah! it varys for people. its like 80 behind in ST for me but 100 ahead of zolds for M+
Just tryna work out why its it 220 ahead in ST for me 
I’m not 100% on this but in OT - someone said that obedience got accidentally un-nerfed in sims
Must have been overnight cause I simmed it yesterday and it was 30 behind
the tooltip is indeed showing 1%
Ahhh
@vestal wren if you all dont know by now
That would be why
Yeah, in guy confirmed in sub that obedience is simming as if it was un-nerfed
looks like necrolord should be the best middle ground if you want to play sin for raid and outlaw for m+? am i understanding this correctly?
Fuu*
Yes
Shitty phone
yes
Both venthyr and Necro fit this niche, it’s fully on your preference 
Fuu 
Wait outlaw for M+ I misread 
obedience is atm simming slightly to high if you use the nightly build,
pls consider using weekly if you use obedience.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/232915274670669826/865215747781296128/unknown.png
I believe the workaround to have a correct obedience sim right now is to sim weekly?
ye should pin it here too
There we go
but letme quick double check
Thanks all 😄
I was about to ask why Obedience jumped from a 0.4% downgrade to a 2.9% upgrade for me... but that explains a lot. So Doomblade Cloak it is... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Any time friend 
i asked seri (the owner of raidbots) to rebuild, he will likely do when he comes online
Was about too ALL IN on Obed but thought to ask first 😂
You are also simming a 249 obe vs a 235 doom.
its still simming wrong
@scenic root Gear compare has another set with 249 doom on too
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fGeY4btzVekHQbh9Mph77R it sims high for me too even with ep/vigor /shrug
@timid talon Yeah fuu confirmed it is bugged on nightly sim
the nightly build was before koji fixed it
so the fix is in simc but not in the nightly
I thought so because even my 235 was like 200-300 ahead lol
bad timing more or less ^^
oof, and i wanted to go raiding with those sims
There we go that makes more sense https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6XhwLGtnw1CpPVc5bp3hBE
if u play sub venthyr, do u use Finaility leggo or just obedience in keys? for the black powder buff
tried obidience yesterday, defo not used to it being up so often
a surprise, but a welcome one
2 weeks of logs showing it looks like it’s safe to craft doom cloak 🤔
Was debating between that an obe
doom for pure ST and obed wins in M+
Didn’t want to craft both just yet
obi is probably better cuz you dont have to swap it, raid/m+ st/aoe/cleave
versatile(gives vers...sorry for bad pun)
i miss that week1 of 9.1, where sims que were under 50
now its 700
I just pay for raidbots at the start of every tier lol
It seems like any time there are 3 or more targets obed is better but for raid its probably just padding for most the bosses with adds
you can always run local sims^^
Its functionally the same, with a little effort
so i guess its fair to call local sims less convenient
but you can just get the sim configuration from raidbots
How viable is Assa in M+ compared to outlaw?
In all my Sims even 2 Boss sims, Doomblade is simming better that Obedience, but Icy Veins says that Doomblade in only ST. Is that normal ?
with this option
Not as good but fine overall
and then just copy/paste in the client ^^
You’re not inting by going assassin 
You can comfortably push to 20 as sin
outla is better usually
Anything above that, you’re probably better off not pushing ~22+ as sin IMO
I should learn outlaw, you can use a dagger oh for it right?
Thanks, well thats enough for me i guess. I just like the Playstyle and found outlaw a little bit annoying due to rng in bfa s2
Play sub
tbh you can push keys as any spec
😦
When you got to 22/23 as sin last season, you just lacked enough damage to time keys
I agree with Kerry. You can push any spec if you have the means group and knowledge of that spec. Maybe not top keys in the world but you can push it
Krey *
i mean yeah eventually you will want to play the better spec but
You will need to
thats not till like world top key ranks
i've been watching an outlaw rogue, and man does it look bad to be capped at 5 targets...when there are like 30 mobs being pulled
Or you need another way to make up for your lack of damage
sin has 8 atleast
i guess
good ol' times
And sub powder capped too?
8
So outlaw...
who is a great M+ assa streamer?
Seliathan?
is it ok to hold vandetta for 10 seconds to line up with shiv and vanish with energy?
