alright, thanks
Played mostly Sub last season. Going Assassin for 9.1 Have a Doomblade 235 already on gloves. I have a ton of soul ash and was going to recraft it on my back. Just debating the stats. If I am maining Assassin in both PvE and PvE...what stats should I go? Was leaning towards Haste Vers.
Shards of Domination
Shard of Zed now only triggers in combat. no more stealth triggering the shard
crit haste is generally what you should craft with if you are planning on only playing sin
But if I am planning on using it for both PvE and PvP...won't I not want to miss out on the Vers?
I guess I could always run the back for PvE and the Gloves for PvE...but that's a ton of Soul Cinders to grind.
PvP gloves
Haste / Vers or Crit / Vers
not sure, probably a marginal difference. Hard to tell what your stats will be like down the road
and crit and haste are both pretty even
I will prob just go Haste Vers as crit isn't as big a deal in PvP and if I am weak in one area it's Haste...coming over from Sub where I mostly PvP'd
we had so little Haste.
Thanks
can you equip 3 of the same shard, like shard of dyz. or do u have to equip the utility shards for the set bonus?
you cant even get more than one of the same shard as far as Im aware
ah
can you craft a rank 5 lego without having it as rank 4 first?
If I'm getting PIs does obedience outdps doomblade?
PI is not for you my friend
Yea PIs gonna be for your new venthyr boomie big 150k dps every 3 minutes or your demonolock
đ
Oooor be like me and be very close with your 3 priests so you get all of them 
I did the sim for you and it is doesn't change anything
I mean PI isn't bad on Rogues. There are just overall much better targets. Keep in mind that Haste doesn't reduce your gcd. PI will not interact with your class mechanics, like it can with Ret Paladin, DK, Warlocks or Mages
Because for theim, it litterally allow theim to do more casts during their cooldown etc...
It could make you more consistent at getting full stack of flag tho, with the energy regeneration etc
But nothing crazy
woop
if you shadowstep the painsmith spikey balls which side does it put you on?
the dead side
ie. the fun side?
you insta die
haha the cheat death side
i feel like i'm missing something fundamental
only getting like green/grey parses. my envenom dps is like 800 and i'm seeing people at like double that
Post logs, the envenom dps is a weird one because your legendary affects it highly among other things
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/24Zcmat6j1MxvPQV#fight=18&type=damage-done&source=10 was just now, trying out vigor
wasted more cp than usual bu ti think that's an adjustment from vigor and a few accidental muts
Youâre missing some CD casts
At 6:26, you should be hitting 4 and 4, arcane torrent was also used only once
Also looks like you may hVe missed a shiv cast or two
Also at 5+ minutes you can cast two pots
3.8k is very low.
You're not casting enough man.
102 mutilates over an 8 minute fight.
I did 128 mutilates in 7 minutes for our kill.
who was 3.8k?
oh you're not talking to me
heh the numbers weren't adding up, i was like "uh i had 123 muts in 6:26"
oh i've never seen this fight, still figuring it out
Our kill was 5:20, and I'm doing same number of casts as you.
Are you using cloak to ignore mechanics?
Dodging the swirlies etc.
generally not
And shadowstep back to the boss after 2nd knock back?
i do shadowstep back
All these little things will increase uptime.
You're letting your bleeds fall off.
Is probably why.
96% uptime.
i'll try to be more cognizant of that stuff, doesn't feel like cloaking swirlies is gonna double my envenom dps but i'm sure it's a lot of little things adding up like you're pointing out
What's the boss fight to compare to? I feel like I'm playing like trash....
The uptime on your bleeds is probably the biggest thing.
For example my uptime for mutilated flesh is 98%.
And rupture and garrote at 99% as well
Whereas all your bleeds are at 96%, so you will have less energy regen.
i don't think it's bleed uptime that's his major problem
95-96% is fine, not ideal
but fine
uptime seems to be the big issue
i definitely feel more energy starved than i feel like i'm not using abilities enough
it's why i swapped to vigor tonight to see if i could get more butto presses
it kind of feels like it's the culmination of a lot of little things
if ya wanna press more buttons play outlaw 
man i've done so much outlaw the past 3 expansions in dungeons there's no way i'd want to also play it in raid
like until we start pushing keys this season i refuse to play outlaw
How is outlaw damage output vs hunters and mages and etc?
in keys?
our dmg profile is so good for m+
mages and stuff will have one HUGE pull then nothing for a while
outlaw is just consistent the whole way through
we can pump ST without CDs (CDs as outlaw KEKW) and we go sustain dmg from pack to pack
@velvet nacelle you're holding CDS WAY too much
remnant was weird, i'd get vendetta and vanish off cd right before the bombs
so i'd wait til after to pop em
you hold your second vendetta for an entire minute
i'm probably trying to sync up shivs too
we're not mass dispelling
the mass dispell kept yeeting the second bomb off
which was HILARIOUS
lul
i think i try to sync up my cds too much though
well they should sync up naturally
I find venthyr sin annoying for raidinf
My ocd does not allow 22 or 25 stacks liek wtf
haha, i know exactly what you mean
you should be holding shiv for vendetta, not vendetta for shiv
unless you're certain you wont lose a cast of ven
and if u spam shiv u will always have shiv for vendetta
you wont
i mean i generally try to have energy and cp ready for when shiv comes off cd
shiv comes up like 15 seconds before vendetta or something
but i try to shiv with an envenom in the "chamber" and enough energy to not have downtime during the shiv window
You're a rogue, don't watch timers.
and i try NOT to have shiv come off cd and to set that up
Just tunnel dps brain and use cheat death đ
haha
why the fuck is my obedience that I spent 150k to craft simming lower than DB now lmao
i remember being told the debuff that applies envenom is more important than trying to fit as many envenom possible in the shiv window
because its only a gain if you go double dmg trinkets most likely
there are very large gaps in your shiv casts
yeah i mentioned that earlier, i switched to vigor from ds so the rhythm was a little different and i accidentally mishit a few muts
you shouldn't be holding shiv until you pool/have high cp
!guide
you smash shiv on CD
You weren't pooling energy into flag either
and you need to prepare your pooling/cp in advance
the biggest loss of damage was not getting enough big envenoms into your vendetta/vanish windows
which is you just not pooling energy.
yeah i'm trying to work on that, probably making me overthink shiv usage so that's why it was inconsistent
this directly ties into flag not getting enough hits off because you sync those whenever possible
as a general rule, don't envom unless you are sitting between 50 and 70 energy. no reason to rush it.
that way your next two mutilates are during your EP window
this is all great stuff, thanks btw guys
i'm definitely rusty from taking a long 9.0 break but this log is clearly more than just ring rust
but yeah to put it into perspective https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DM7jXPRCHcwrmpaA#fight=4&type=damage-done&source=12
thats the top log
1 1/2 minutes shorter than your kill but you only got 10 more envenoms than him
yeah that's gonna help a little haha
you are refreshing rupture too early as weel btw.
don't refresh that until 5 to 6 seconds remaining
you cast the same number of ruptures as he did
yeah i caught myself doing that a few times
Basically just relax, and don't rush the playstyle. assassination is a slow spec
i have a weak aura tracker that changes the timer to green text when it's in pandemic and i definitely hit it earlier than that a few times that fight
sit on over 50 energy and think about how you want to use it
he got the same number of flag hits as you with only 3 casts because he pooled into the use
i definitely feel like i was pooling into flag but if you told me that flag gave you -20% crit i'd believe you
or flag just turns seal fate off
lol
the surest way to get 2 cp from every mutilate is to vendetta and flag
i'll try to settle down a little tomorrow
thanks for looking over the log with so much detail portal
and everyone else really
Does using obedience change your gameplay at all?
you can use a tick rate wa and wonder bout those extra 2 ticks you get in a 24 sec rupture

yea that is the thing nothing much changes
with vigor, how much energy should we pool for shiv coming up?
You don't really pool for Shiv (because it would end up delaying Shiv). You rather generally pool your ressources to spend theim in high value buff windows (like Shiv).
The way you do this is by pooling before using Envenom (which is the lowest priority finisher) outside of Shiv or Vendetta windows.
From the theory pov, the treshold for pooling is basically "pool the maximum, don't overcap energy". But I usually suggest pooling to ~100 energy with vigor, ~60 without
Hmm sounds good, thank you for elaborating I appreciate it.
Just swapped over so learning as much as i can
this discord is generally useful but man i've gotten a ton of good info today
i feel like there's been a lot of good stuff shared today that hasn't been in any of the pinned guides
like more nuance stuff
Once you understand why we pool ressources, the execution is kinda straight forward tbh. Outside of Shiv you just refresh dots when they are in pandemic range, build to 4+ cp and wait for some energy before using Envenom and rebuild CP immediately after. You press Shiv on CD.
During Shiv/Vend you don't pool energy and use energy as soon as you have enough for your next global
i'll try these adjustments tomorrow
Don't forget to empty your energy bar whenever you have to leave the melee range
no matter what
Happened to me too, doom blade simming 100dps higher
Shouldn't doomblade be naturally simming higher?
Throw knives if you cant be in melee range for whatever reason and you re about to cap energy 
There is one major problem about simming Obedience
@limber lion how come youâre swapping back to venth from necro?
!wa
Obedience is shit on the 270s to 305s marker
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
And simulation default settings are 300s with 20% variance, so it do multiple iteration from 240s to 360s
Why?
Because when playing obedience you delay vendetta to sync with Flag UNLESS you may loose a cast of vendetta doing so
And on the 300s marker, you will loose a vendetta cast doing it, so the APL will basically delay Flag for like 50s
Or does it naturally align not that far from each other
For Assa, Flag should have ~1:15 CD with Obedience
so in an ideal world you would like to Flag + Vend at 0, 2:30 and 5:00
Interesting
why shadowgrasp so good for sin
If that is not possible to delay Vendetta without loosing a cast, then you gotta see if you can delay Flag without loosing a cast. But in our "exactly" 300s marker, you will flag at 1:15, then at 2:30, then delay it to 4:10 to line up with Vendetta (insteed of firing at 3:45). But you will basically loose out of Obedience CDR value anyway
That's pretty cool, sounds like a nice minigame you'd need to do on several bosses
Would you delay vendetta for remnant tho?
Because that phase always seems to start in about 1:30 min of the fight
do you always sync vendetta with flag if youre not playing obedience?
The longer the fight is, the less you are willing to delay, if it were pure patchwerk
So if a fight is like 8mn long, patchwerk with no need of pushing any phase or whatever... Then the optimal way of using Flag/Vend would most likely be to desync theim most of the time...
If you play Doomblade you will most of the time sync theim yes, unless the fight is pure patchwerk with no need to push phases, lust on pull, and 5mn or more. Then you would desync 2nd and 3rd Flag and delay 3rd Vendetta to 4:30 to sync with 4th Flag.
Like on a 6mn20sec fight you would basically fire everything on CD.
And they'll naturally sync at the 6mn marker.
You honestly don't loose that much DPS syncing (delaying) Flag with Vendetta every 2mn. And in a lot of cases it is worth-it to sync theim even if you loose a Flag cast because encounter are usually designed around 2mn CD rather than 1:30. Your additionnal Flag cast might be basically wasted DPS pushing a phase you shouldn't even be pushing.
is it CT spam on aoe?
No
is obedience better than zoldycks in m+? seeing a few top m+ sins running it?
It does sim better

Simc it.. I do more with with neco and zoldycks in obedience and the duke right now when i simc it i have 800 dps more as neco.. so u best to simc it yourselfs
and I have ventyr reown level 48 and neco 48 ..
Idk but it sims worse for me
My Zoldy is doing better
hw many stacks of flag do you usually get? I find it pretty hard to get above 25, while playing sub its almost always 30
ok, i thought i was doing sth wrong :p
19, sometimes 22
Pog
will you be sad if it's in your vault this week?
Then you get another phial from the vault
nope
just means i get a better phial
ill probably wait to upgrade it until tuesday though
just in case
Yea, I get that. I honestly don't mind PF, but farming anything isn't fun
18-20 plaguefalls in 48 hours does something to a man
i ran 9 DOS yesterday so our tank could get his damn scale..
i was doing any keys i could between 11-15
last key of the night yesterday and some tank was bitching about me not interrupting enough on an 11
and im like dawg
lol
im barely capable of pressing my buttons anymore
also, on an 11?
this was after he died on the frost lieutenant
and released insta
instead of waiting for brez
lmao
below 15 keys are a scary place
yea. I witnessed a lot of that week 1.. but 15 => 16 seems pretty different too.. I pugged a 16 halls earlier and the pulls this group was doing really felt absurd
I was outlaw all last season and I definitely felt like that would be the only way to pull this much shit and do good damage
pulled 2 gargs and the pack by the first boss to the boss, druid was sitting at like 16k dps on what is normally an ST fight
i've been playing sub this season and it's a nice change of pace
yep, still very strong though
and I'm really tired of outlaw
i just didn't like playing venthyr outlaw
not saying that sin can't manage this, but all I was doing was multidotting everything.. it felt very frantic
sin in keys is too much for me
yea, I was venthyr outlaw almost all season 1.. now I'm running necro-sin
it's so much to keep track of
it can be fun, but I really need to know how my tank is going to pull in advance or I'm trying to solve it all on the fly.. .and I had never run w/this tank before..
We're farming PF 15 in such a way it become hilarous
i like playing sin in ToP
Our feral (which obviously drool on this trinket just like us) is going for the bear
and he do larger and larger pulls every run
Well, that's a good way to keep it lively. I guess, now that we're done w/KSM, we can try to have a little fun and push the envelope.. everyone was so focused on just getting it done
Our DH still wants a phial too, but he hasn't been pushing us to farm plaguefall like the tank and hunter have been pushing for DOS
tbh I enjoy the plague farm xD
even tho I already have the trinket (I come for, you know, solidarity
after the very first pull, I find plaguefall to be one of the more relaxing runs
somehow, someone always manages to pull the stupid plagueroc on the first pull
Well Volcano thing is really making this dungeon a joke
We're doing pulls we never ever dreamed of
yea, anyone else feel like volcano's PPM will get nerfed?
just shroud to first boss
like after the first boss we basically pull the default pack + a bird + the doc and the red slim
where do you make up percent? do you pull the first anima mini boss into the boss's room?
you can just make it up with the rest of the dungeon
as long as you have like 81ish% before going down on the last boss room you are good
we catch up a lot after 1st boss
the first anima boss you pull a little bit forward before the slimes
plenty of room still
that being said some pugs just still do the first part and dont shroud which is fine as well
just inspiring mob on the first mushroom pull is kinda annoying
yea, even in my normal group we haven't been shrouding to the boss. I had done that early in the season, not sure why we stopped.
I just blind or sap the inspired mushroom
and we pull back
ive run like 20 PFS this week still no phial fml
prob should just upgrade the 229 one i have
and when I say early, I mean early season 1....
I got lucky and got mine out of the vault.. I was sitting on a 220 from last season
nice
we stopped shrouding to boss for multiple reason. First it was requiert to pulls adds from after-1st-boss room to get Prideful for 1st boss
I definitely remember doing that
And 2nd, even if you entierely clear the after-1st-boss room, you don't have enough % and gotta do tentacle one by one
which was shit
But now that Prideful is gone we are much more free in our pathing
like you can clean the entiere after-1st-boss room without being concerned about pride timing etc...
ye that is also true
i do like that you can just shroud to the first anima boss
and just get a power immediately
well, thanks for the ideas. We're still trying to figure out optimal routes for a lot of these places... I should probably watch how some people who aren't filthy casuals do this shit đ
For this week particulary (but I like the route overall) I really like clearing more than usual pack on the "after-1st-boss" room
like we bring a bird into our 1st pull (after 1st boss), we pull little rotten (that do nothing but tank damage) with the 2nd anima boss so I can funnel
etc...
Usually we play a lot around my funneling (I play sub) and it works well
With obedience in assassination, do you just flagellation on cd? and line it up with vendetta when its close? how long would I hold vendetta for? didn't see it in the ravenholt guide
Morning boys if i make DB with Haste vers bad is that in raid aswell
does anyone know where that spreadsheet is
showing the effective dps increase for windfury totem
Pinned in #wow-general
Thank god they fixed that unholy shard
?
Itâs the only unholy shard I got my hands on as of yet and I was putting unholy aura on shit left and right
Its supposed to be hotfixed now
Oh yes
Itâs something
Yeh
ty
if you arrived to a pack with 4-5 CP should we open with CT ?
Hi there, whats optimal opener using MA, being necro on two target? Dot up both fully before vendetta/shiv/vanish?
Not if youâre running subt
Sbs snd sbs gar rup, vend shiv and vanish slam town
and only after doting up another target?
You dot one
Optimally that doesnât happen. If it does, open as normal altho it feels bad to waste a couple of cp
man
I like sin in raid but idk how people can do it in m+ I need to cheat with outlaw extendo-arms
Position very well? đ sin isn't as punished as outlaw / sub for not having uptime on target. You got dots rolling
okay ty đ
If Iâm using Nadija for sin st do you reckon commit theotar to outlaw or sub for m+
And why is draven so shit
Means you could have gotten in an extra envenom at the last pack đ
Because I got 2 Sylvanas daggers and Sub benefits a lot from them. Venth will allow me to play Sub as well on prog.
It's decent, a lot of things don't reset SBS so it's very frustrating. If they did, it would be great

Ye I noticed that as well, kinda sad
I mean, why design it that way. Seems unfair
No
Gear havers are to be excommunicated
Bro Cevâs gear is some hardcore shit

!guide
Iâm about to get normal dagger from timewalking just you wait
I got the crit/haste boots with the socket 
Good morning frens I have been at work for a little over and hour now, pls unalive me 
!?!?!? holy haha share!!
yeah, my gear is kinda stacked
link me your armory! i wanna see đ
That makes me sas
im the opposite of stacked. Just got a bag of peanuts
Sad*
I got my 3rd pair of the vers mastery dom socket gloves
So uhh.. Iâm kinda insane rn watch out
any1 simmed what is the difference between vers/crit and haste/crit Obedience for Sin rogue?
60 dps lower for crit haste, 43 dps lower with crit vers for me (lower than DB) in ST
cool, thanks
11 heroic kills logged.....one piece of loot. Bracers
My rng MUST be storing itself up for a fatty week or something
Dw man it can get worse Iâm 19 with 2
I'm just glad I feel really comfy on the spec so not having gear isn't a complete loss.
Guardian kill tomorrow will for sure drop trinket for me, right? đ¤Ą
Always sim yourself tho my sims do absolutely nothing for you
Is Venth so much stronger then necro for raiding ?
Is there still a bug with poison application? Scanned through the simc GitHub tracker and don't see it
!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
An internal test request was submitted but unless they fix it we wont know if they even test it
so fingers crossed
Thanks!
No
Itâs a little bit ahead on ST, but thatâs it
I currently play Necro Sin so my armory reflects that :p but here's my sub sim just for reference and my armory:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/23WqaMWr7dy7hC75n8kSBH
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/stormreaver/ceverion
i see, thanks for your reply
It's a bit cheaty because I just swapped to Necro, so technically I'm only simming around 9050 as Necro Sub
:P
i mananged too replace my first item from the last tier
233 gloves, everything else still on CN

:P bit by bit
why necro again?XD
I enjoy necro sin a lot more and wanted to give it a shot for future Sylv prog like Tryan said
didn't expect to get a second dagger from that test run lol
And apparently Necro is really bad for Sylv
u already looking forward sylv mythic prog ? lol
9.3k sims
I feel like deleting my char y'know
Well we have to focus our efforts on maximizing mythic Sylv viability.
Every other boss is kind of irrelevant in the end.
i've switched to venth, is there any sort of lining up i need to do with flag or is it treated like shiv?
If we gear up with something like Painsmith in mind, it'll probably come back to bite me when we get to Sylvanas.
Ye, just slam that shit. 
You can try to sync the last Vend/Flag casts.
cool thanks
If one were to pick one and one only rogue specc for all pve content (m+ and raids) - would that pick be best to be outlaw or asa? (not interested in sub)
ah i see. korruptio kinda in top 50 guild. well this is reasonable then
Assa:)
second question; does asa suffer a lot from downtime? when 60 and geared
everyone suffers from downtime
It suffers the least from the other two specs most likely, but everyone suffers from downtime
assa just really really REALLY slightly less
but its not something that gives it a edge
oh sh i thought asa was the "slowest" of the rogue speccs
Not when outlaw is a ranged spec 
tbh sub is fun
how does that affect you when you need to move away from the boss
also it fells better on m+
Assa has dots up whenever you get forced downtime, so that's great. But Assa still requires ramp up whenever you initiate the target again, Outlaw and Sub just start dealing damage instantly.
but those dots were gonna get refreshed anyway, right?
wtf ceverion already x2 sylv daggers
MonkaW
your gear makes me sad, but also kinda aroused all at the same time, it's a strange feeling
wtf you legit have all 5 gems sloted + double edge >.<
did you kill sylvie twice in hc ?
or only once ?
Twice, but I got a normal dagger on my first normal kill and the hc dagger on the first hc kill :P
Actually, no. I got the HC dagger on the second kill
well gratz
Is it possible to get dagger from weekly box?
:P thanks
so you killed sylvie pre-nerf gratz
Yes
If you've killed Sylvanas that is.
Yeh thatâs fine, it was a case of Iâll not bother if not
always open with mutilate when playing MA right? (sorry for noob question, not touched asa in a long while)
yep
!mut
Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.
guys what about necro legendary in m+ as sin? so bad compared to doomblade no one mentioning it in discussion?)
We don't play Doomblade in keys
necro leggo is dead
But yeah, Deathspike is not the best. Just stick to Zoldyck
Doomblade on very specific keys on tyrannical, all others = zoldyck yeah?
I wish I could go back to sub but I have 0 crit vers gear. All crit haste baby
Mainly for that fancy 2 button AOE

I feel like im gonna go sub for soulrender
not going to be a good parse but all that prio damage and cp generation gonna be nice
Trying to meme it like zul 
any one pumpin hard in keys as assa?
ceverion and seliathan from the cfs
was doing about 9-10k overall last week in 15s
really fun when you don't have a ele sham just nuking entire packs before you can get anything out
I was running zold last week yea
whats stats ya put on ebed?
I havnt played obe with ass now tbh, been enjoying sub this week
mmm
Thanks everyone for help in this group! Was worried about switching mains but getting there. Worried sin will get nerfed at this point cause even in my shit gear Iâm pumping
Is it correct to say you shouldnt upgrade your dps blood and frost shard until your unholy set is max lvl ?
(for raid)
ideally yeah
if you have the embers to spare then it doesnt matter
your set bonus scales with the lowest level shard you have in the set
but what akira said
so get all unholy to rank 3, then 4 etc etc
Where can i see the rank of them ? Or am I blind đ ?
for raid, if they are purple an you have the helmet, put 3 of them in the hole
each type, unholy/frost/blood all only have 1 damage shard each as well
Dyz is the unholy one, think the blood is Bek
cor is frost
the 3pc unholy bonus is bigger than getting all 3 dps shards to rank 5 by a large amount so its better to get them maxed out asap
our ret got his kt weapon and 3pc and he absolutely fucking milks bosses now. I dont think we've ever had power creep like this before.
i mean
legendarys in legion
the cape in MoP
azerite powers for some classes
Corruptions ( Twilight devastation )
This happens to me too! Weird
because sub is a much higher simming class
it does do more damage then sin
but if you know how to play sin more comfortably you will do more damage then what you can do in sub
I was only doing 6.9k on guardian hc. I legit cant push more than that. =c
my raid kept killing me so my parses were junk except the eye and painsmith
i was on ball duty on remnant and someone dispelled to early and sent me flying
:^)
Sry if stupid question, but does anyone know where the upgrade for lashing scars is?
you either get it from sire or conduit upgrades from korthia/the codex vender/adamant vault
alright, thanks so much
The conduits upgrade we get from adamant vault cant be stacked right? i did like 10 adamant vault with the upgrade item in my bag and no drop this week xd
adamant vault is once a week thing
yea i didnt get one this week so i thought maybe they doesnt stack and i need to use it or bank it
the one i have i got last week
the new kyrian covenant legendary - memory of resounding clarity, anyone did some tests? I'm thinking it should be better then doomblade
rogues only want one thing and its f***ing disgusting
Itâs not easy
...

F
Is it worth the renown farm to switch to vent?
anyone know if Sudden Fractures drops at 226 anywhere other than Sire mythic?
Can be upgraded to 226
yeah, unfortunately gonna be a long grind for me
Yeah
Or get lucky
Good thing is the other conduits that come from dungeons drop very often
And are baseline 226 ilvl
I have a 1/10 chance of getting it to 213, then have to grind all up to 213 to have a 1/14 chance of 226 đ
but yeah, grinding other conduits is a good idea
So you can slim down the conduits to few below 226
Hey guys, got a side question im woundering about.
What have u seen the prices of the tabards in the black market go for ?
ive seen phial drop 3 times now and I lost a roll to one..... fucking 
I just went venthyr on my asa rogue - is there anything regarding Flag I should consider? other than using on cd after bleeds are applied?
Poisoned Katar or Lethal poisons for M+?
Sim it. 
#wow-general probably a better place for that
Nah, that's about it. You can sync the last Vend/Flag cast, as long as you don't miss out on a cast
Hey guys, what leggo would you use in M+ as necrolord plz ? I kinda like sur SBS one but maybe Zoldyck ?
Can anyone offer some guidance on 2 target openers? Atm I'm doing this (1 and 2 are the targets): (1) SBS, SND, (2) SBS, Garotte, Rupture, (1) SBS, Rupture -> Vendetta, Shiv, Vanish, normal rotation while keeping dots up.
Check pins for legendary recommendations
sbs leggo is dead, zoldyck is the play
Rip, okay thanks guys !
so, with obedience, you sync 1st flag+ven, then flag, ven, flag and sync for 3rd ven again?
that's as far as I could find on my own, just curious if that seems to be the "right" way or nah
you mean you didn't get a phial in your 1st vault? sounds like a skill issue 
running 20 plaguefalls in two days means i 100% get it in my vault right?
they want me to suffer
always wait imo
Your chance are way higher then that. U can do all the dungeon at m+ 10 and up. U will get most of the conduit at 226. U can also run the normal.mega dungeon. I had all conduit to 226 except 2. (Lashing and another one) took me 2 korthia upgrade to get it to 226 (i had 213 lashing)
@odd hazel You say so but when I compare Assassination to Subtlety on Guardian [hc] (who is practically a dummy with a DPS check) - the numbers are very similar with the adventage of Assassination.
I meant top#20.
top rankings are very volatile right now
because of shard sets
also you see far more PIs on asssa rogues compared to sub
Shard sets and the skill/numbers of parses
yeah, just look at klaus on echos kill
9.2k
400 dps higher than the highest assa heroic log, and 900 higher than the second
Hey mates, I was wondering. Since Flagellation is on 1.5min cd and Vendetta is 2, is it worth to hold Flag until Ven is up?
if you don't lose a cast of flag, yes
Have you removed cloaked in shadows from your conduits?
Itâs almost as if pins agree with me
Is the bug with banshees blight that only one rogue can prock it on the boss still in or did they fix it?
Someone dropped sylv dagger on the chest from the timewalking quest?
DS > Vigor for ST right?
It can't only 226 loot
You can get any item from raid
OK thanks sir
Do you have the dom socket with unholy aura equipped?
As long as youâve killed.
He is taking about the time walk quest
and neither of them is anything that procs
Didn't they fix the unholy aura?
Then i have no idea... The unholy aura breaks stealth afaik
People got sylv dagger in vault this Tuesday
Iâm pretty sure you can get sylvanas loot
I don't speak about vault
I pulled eye last night at 4 timer cuz it procced on my shroud 
....
Last patch you couldn't get the last two bosses from the time walking event chest im sure it's the same
they just did today
"Shards of Domination
Shard of Zed now only triggers in combat.
Shard of Zed now only triggers from class abilities.
Developersâ note: This will prevent it from triggering when using many items which are generally inconvenient for it, like Invisibility Potions.
Shard of Zed now more smartly filters what targets it attempts to drain life from."
Well that Sims to don't work then xd
Seem
At 30 yard from boss using stealth pulled the boss so....
best powers for terragrue?
are assassin rogues still good in M+?
hell yeah. they're awesome right now
whats the covenent for them?
I did 2 14's yesterday and was at 8k dps by the end of each. I'm venthyr with the flagelation legendary
!sims
Simulations:

i have a wierd question here , if i want to sim a legendary that i curently dont have , is there a way to do so on raidbot?
yes it is
here, on the top of the top gear category
u can add every legendary on any piece of gear, using any missives
yeah but do i get to choose let say , Obedience , or its just the stats and item level and not the actual specific legendary
u just select item level and missives
and it s gonna add every legendaries, just look for obedience in your top gear then (must be cloak i guess)
:p
indeed
Hey im new to rogue and i wanna main sin .. what is the best lego for low and high keys
Obedience if venthyr, zoldyk otherwise
Anyone know offhand if you can play sounds through Plater on certain conditions? Or would I be better off doing it through WAs?
Looking to add sound queues to bleeds when they can be pandemic'd
Not sure about plater, but very easy with WAs
Should I go with what I sim highest for obedience back or are there best stats for it otherwise? Unsure since I only have one shard atm
For stats?
Yeah
Just make it crit/vers if you plan on playing sub as well
alright, thanks
I dont get it maby some one can help I dont know if doing it wrong, when I simc my char. as neco for m+ vs ventyr obedience its almost 360 dps difference higher on neco. but the pins with the best gear says other wise. if any cool simc god can take a look at it, much love â¤ď¸ https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/m7FoKddbDoyRhRPj1jrSLd and singel target neco 7282 ventyr 7303
i was wondering the same earlier , doomblade 235 sim higher than Obedience 249 same stats as venthyr rogue sin
same here its odd
^ yeah Iâm at a loss
Don't look at the sims in pins and make decisions for your character off that
Sim yourselfg
Those pins are made with full mythic bis
ok
but why is a 235 simming higher than a 249 obedience? isnt it abnormal lol
i dont know
yea i am a little lost too, doomblade is simming higher, but wowhead is saying to go with obedience for ST dps
Because DB is better for a ST patchwork sim?
Because doomblade is better ST
well its way better than Obedience then , because its a 235 versus a 249
its not equal item level
Item level doesnât change the effect of the leggo
It is a cloak
alright .
Cloak ilvl isn't going to make or break your DPS
ok so , i should just craft a 249 doomblade and just dont bother anymore with Obedience
Up to you
For m+ obe is good i heard, for st go doomblade.
^
I'm going obedience rank 6 first
ok
Because I play both sub and sin
How does sylvanas's daggers work with vault being higher ilvl? Do you have to get her every week or once at a chance in vault?
If you kill her
You are correct, plus you get the perks of worrying about 1 legendary for 2 specs rather than multiples
when i play with vigor i barely get 20 flag stacks. Is that expected ?
20-24 is about the average for assassination unless you get lucky with crits
18-24 is the ballpark I land in
afaik, if you want to craft obed do it. Itâs going to preform well during tyrannical weeks, cleave, and you get to run sub if you want to.
If you like obed? Make obed, nobody is sad about 30-50 damage unless you are pushing pushing.
Chances are obedience will be stronger on short heroic fights where the boss is burned I believe
@woven ruin Oh Blizz wont let you get the daggers that easy. You have to kill her and 2 other Sanctum bosses for it to even have a chance to appear in the vault for that week. Hence the vault loot will always be split between 3 bosses that you've killed for that week. And the more bosses u killed during that week, the more the loot is split among those loot tables for the vault.
Tell that to Cev.. who has 2 already

He should play IRL lottery
Heâs earned it
He was styling on us with 100 parses using 220 weapons
Manâs earned it
in other words man is a god with his skills and his luck
!guide
He killed mythic sire like 10 times and didnât get the daggers idk about godlike luck 
he procced his loot protection buff
Tru
doomblade and obedience dps difference is very negligible right? doomblade sims high but all guides and pin puts obediance on top, but if its not that much of a difference i am just gonna stick to doomblade
WHy do all the top logs are played with Vigor but Deeper Strategem sims like 300 dmg more at my char
On fights where you can multi dot ep/vig is better.
I just killed it once and got my dagger lul. Took me like 20 kills for the heroic version tho.
Any good Addons for Multidotting ? đ
because the sim you run has you and the boss standing still doing nothing for 5 minutes
so bs/deeper wins, in practice itâs not the case for a lot of these bosses
besides maybe guardian
my sims are so strange, basically telling me that 9 item lower level rings are better for my ST dps.
that isn't strange
no mainstat on rings, so a ring with lower ilvl but better stat selection will often be better
that actually makes perfect sense
Do I use Crimson Tempest in ST when skilled ?
Yes outside shiv
you can, whispyr did the math its like a 50 dps difference if you don't
okay thanks
quick question, are we holding flag for vendetta with obedience leggo? looked into some top logs, and they are willing to drop uses of flag to line it up with vendetta
@gusty mirage đ
You never hold cds. Unless you know youâre gonna miss a cast
welcome back from the dead
guys, is shard of dyz great for assassin?
@velvet wraith I believe opener is Mut -> SBS -> SnD, then save SBS for any gemstone windows
Yes
Its good for most dps specs
If not all
Hello there guys. I dont know if this have been asked before but it surely has ^^ I am going to create my Obedience cloak. I know that primary stats for sin rogues are Haste and Crit. But why (havent found any info anywhere on this) are we supposed to use Crit and Vers on the cloak? Been looking at both icy veins (wich doesnt say what secondary stats to use) and on wowhead.

been looking at top dps rankings aswell and the nr1 rogue use that combination and the other ones that use obedience uses haste and crit
@livid sage crit vers if you're going to multi-spec to sub. Crit haste if you're just playing assa
ah okay thanks. Been puzzled about this the whole week ^^
You can also just sim crit vers against crit haste on top gear. It's just a cloak so the Stat budget isn't going to really make or break anything.
the stats you put on your legendary, especially a cloak, will never change ur dps by any substantial amount
I made doomblade as crit haste and obe as crit vers.
same
ah thats good to know. Then i would be safer to go with the crit vers in case i want to switch to sub in case of nerfing of sin or if sub sims better on some fights
yeah i use crit haste on doomblade aswell up untill now
Sub is probably going to Sim better most of the time. Its a lot harder to hit your Sim numbers as sub than assassin though. Take that with a grain of salt because I'm garbage at sub
how do we properly open on 2 targets lioke the nine?
anyone have that list of best powers for tarague
Thanks for the inputs guys đ
thanks Oz !!!
Is it possible to sim DPS increase from 3 set unholy socket bonus? If so how đ
Is obedience still the way to go or is doomblade performing better after obedience nerf?
crit haste still the way to go with obedience?
where can I find information about wich domination socket should we have?
I donât know if this is correct but I was cucked 3/4 times on mythic with the dispel. I dotted both then let it rip after the mechanic went out.
sim the gems
in the pins
both fine
crit haste or crit vers for obedience?
is it a big difference between triple potency and dauntless?
The real question is, what are ppl doing with their valor outside of Phial? Waiting for another vault reset or going ham on a weapon?
nvm pins always have the answers lol
does anyone know bis trinkets i should aim for on sin rogue?
phial + fusion amp/shadowgrasp
crit/haste or crit/vers for obedience?
Nobody replied on pvp so asking here
Using the book of shadows document it shows nothing for me ? Has it not been updated or is it an issue my end
Some high level rogues are running deadly poison instead of wound
As Assa rogue
Is everyone else doing the same in pvp
All I know is wound poison doesnât stack with shiv,so taking deadly makes sense for that extra oomph
But that heal reduction is too good to pass
not updated
crit/vers if you're going to play sub, crit/haste for sin only, won't really matter either way
Aight will do more research on it for the rogue community
probably trying it out cuz of hemo
Might help more being in the Pvp section
you have a huge anti heal steroid every time you shiv
so if you're only basing kill windows around that
maybe they just want more damage elsewhere
still seems kinda odd though
Do not use deadly poison in pvp. All the math suggests it is not worth it
Yes , exactly my thoughts too, but thinking about it with an open mindâŚwound doesnât stack with hemo. Shiv is 25 sec on a single target, so technically during shiv windows I would have better damage with deadly than wound. As wound wonât stack with hemo
Dunno will have to play a few games to see it through
What setting are people using to sim for dungeons? D-slice or patchwerk 5 bosses?
You have to think about it this way. Does deadly poison increase my overall damage by 28.8%? If not, wound is better
like dude just said
it doesn't stack with hemo
and if you're only basing your kill windows around hemo
then they want more damage for said window
Assa is about constant pressure not 9 second "kill windows"
for Guardian of the First Ones, Doomblade should outweigh Zold right? Even if struggling for kill
assa has been about constant pressure
metas change talents change builds change playstyles change
obviously people are experimenting with the new hemo

im pretty new to wow but if i can put gems on rings should i use agility gems?
@balmy condor is my 226 fusion amp better than 226 flayedwing đ¤Ž
it simmed worse
but idk if its still worth going
since trinkets are weird
i did it like 4 days ago when i got it
gonna redo
real quick
i might have done something wrong with the sim or something
either way this should help
it was undersimming a while ago
i guess we'll find out
ideally, where would I want to use flag in the opener?
before rup
Ye sounds like it was before the fusion amp fix in sims
yep
it looks good now
im glad i asked about it
or i would be stuck with my flayedwing still
i knew it was supposed to still be shitty
anyway heres the sim https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/pT4ahQkz9PbunLirGBbkcF
Real quick, doomblade on back?
yep
stats?
Crithaste
thanks whispyr 
just asking something why my sin rogue 212 is simming lower than my fire mage 209 if fire is nerfed(simming done on single target patch.. with obidience)
well gotta admit my sin rogue doesnt have any good trinket
just the vial and a crappy 126 XD
my last normal pug of the week getting the kt neck 
back to plaguefall prison
Couldnât get the tazavesh trinket but phial last week and SGT this week make it ok
I just clapped Normal Slyvanas but a 202 ilvl Rogue who was being carried got the Dagger. I want to cry.
guys is better 233 Ticking Sack of Terror or 236 Shadowgrasp Totem ?
you simmed it?
Hey do you guys tend to do mythic plus with sin or do you switch over to outlaw
Donât have any good leggo for sub đ
I bounce between outlaw/sub. Celerity for outlaw and obe for sub
and then sin for raid ofc
having a hard time grasping multi target as ass, i get the open with garrotes then swap to ruptures but i always feel like im constantly trying to refresh dots and do nothing else, is this correct?
Kinda
it just feels so unnatural, maybe im not used to the playstyle yet
It speeds up but basically keep 5 of any rupture and garrote up, keep CT rolling, refresh snd with envenom and keep spreading rupture
No
!guide
This is genuinely my biggest fear đđ
This
Itâs a top trinket
i've had phial and totem drop in 4 straight runs
and guildies couldn't trade
im in still in the hunt
ready to end it all xD
other rogue compettion got the amplifier last night in raid
âŚ..i would quit
Shadowgrasp?
how im feeling
just got my full unholy set, simmed it, seen a +940 dps
yeah

Yes
Wild.
5 bleeds is for best energy regen for single target dmg, in m+ scenario you rupture all targets, keep CT up and envenom to keep slice active
I got the execute blood shard and the frost dps one
Just those feels so nice canât imagine the unholy
didnt tested it since we just cleared the normal tonight, but tomorrow on sylvanas hero will be spicy i guess, we migh go for the 3rd boss mythic as well đ¤
before a pull why would I want top open with a mutialte instead of an ambush?
mythic nine is a heroic boss
any 5.5 million iteration simmers in chat?
so this totem is good in aoe too?
far easier than heroic sylv
@crimson crest !mut

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.

oh, thanks
totem attacks whatever you're currently attacking
it just benefits from from the cdr in aoe
thanks king
Is anyone else finding themselves getting only 1 peice of loot from raids?
no, i average 0
This tbh
Got all shards, except the dps ones though! đŞ
đ
I just play Sin
you guys use the nightly or weekly sim?
Nightly
ty
are you supposed to get 30 stacks on flag every time? cuz I usually only get around 22. Am I doing something wrong or is this fine?
sin can't get to 30 pretty much ever
thanks that makes it much clearer now
no problem
Is there a BiS List somewhere for this patch?
Possibly somewhere
But not recommended to look into
Since BiS lists can be misleading
doomblade is back piece yeah?
Yes
Zoldyck as pants?
What about Decanter of Endless Howling?
kind of bad compared to what you can get
fcking sake. Tazavesh last boss Trinket is crap too. Damn Phials and Totems
Mailboss tazavesh trinket is great
bis lists went out the window ever since you could get 55 different ilvls of the same piece of loot
well also because gear on bis lists is bis because it assumes you also have every other piece on that list.. seeing the âbisâ bracers for example and assuming theyre automatically bis for you when youâre wearing a completely different gearset is when it starts to become unreliable, and bad information to players who donât understand this concept
Ikr? Its a vanilla stat trinket.. how lame
does m0 drop renown?
done it before I changed to vent
i think at low renown itâs pretty much guaranteed from heroic dungeons is if not?
You venth?
so much easier to spam those
eh thats debatable if you're queueing as dps
yea went venth today
might be faster to pug a m0 than queue heroic
You can cheat your way to last boss in the vampire dungeon wtf is it called
And fsrm last boss
I think the most popular method is to go plaguefall heroic and skip to domina
