how do i get the flagg lego after reaching the renown
I do m+ as well wut
it's just in your inventory
You're the dumb one then
ty
you get it from the primus
Literally nothing changes
its in your inv most likely
remember to go to the carver tho to learn it
@limber lion i mean gotta watch out for spaghetti arm spitefuls this week but other than that you're right, not a ton of changes
wait doesnt assa run obe instead of zold now?
Yes you have to play around the affix
That's it
Just like you do
With every single spec
Obe or Doomblade, depending on your flavour.
But literally norhing changes
we talkin m+
Not even rotation
doomblade there is uh
Obe in M+. I run Doomblade but that's because my focus is raiding and it sims a little lower there.
@soft shale i think if you play flag well, obedience does a ton of damage potential and zoldycks is passive
if i played assa i would run obe haha necrotic knife goes brrrr
and with bosses being 4 mins now
i omegadepleted a plaguefall 21
LMAO
funnily enough domina was harder than stradama
i can't get my guild/friends to run even 15s now
ye stradama isnt too bad
but we didnt finish anyway
esp with cloak
Yeah. I find Domina more of a pain than Strad.
the new 20% shield + frost shard and other things is cool
domina gets v annoying if adds arent taken out immediately
domina just rapes the tank if heal is not on point
yep
p sure this is true: envenom when you're at max/max - 1 cp, energy is over 60-80% OR if you have shiv/flag/vendetta up, envenom right away
what about elaborate planning?
should i be trying to sneak in envenoms in EP windows?
So you sneak in an envenom in an EP
Now you’re starved working your way back up
Now you drop envenom
Your sad lonely and poor because you snuck in an envenom
hah! jokes on you! i'm always sad and lonely
Vel is trying to say no
oh i know
Take the time it will take you to pool to rethink your life decisions
I think
i liked the way he said it
so EP really only "matters" inside of the shiv/flag/vendetta windows
when you'll naturally be trying to spam finishers
i'm not playing particularly well in general, but i'm seeing people finishing fights with like 1.5k dps from envenom alone and i'm usually barely at like 900
trying to figure out where i'm missing that, i often have similar cast numbers and crit rates too but they're just hitting way harder
Do you have the same exact pixel for pixel, 1s and 0s of gear as these individuals
i mean obviously no, i have at least three 1s where they have 0s
Do you guys just use the recommended M+ build/leg/soulbinds on Tyra weeks? I also find that I can get set up properly before the stronger AoE classes have destroyed it all.
but to almost be doubling me i feel like that's more than just a gear issue
@void needle honestly when i'm running with strong aoe i just focus on ST damage
Link a log then homie
funnily enough agor assa gets better on higher keys because mobs take more time to die
@soft shale yeah it's funny that way
Yeah it's so apparent when it tyra vs fort, I lose thousands of DPS D:
@arctic walrus i wanna get fresh logs tomorrow, i learned a few fundamental things i was doing wrong after last week but i was hitting training dummies just now for practice (which i know isn't "legit")
@void needle that's the life of dot classes
So, I just want some opinions. I'm torn on my legendary, obedience or doomblade. I can see the sims have obedience pulling ahead in full mythic gear, but right now for me the difference in doomblade's favor is substantial. Like 90 dps. Does anybody know why exactly obedience pulls ahead? Is it really just harder scaling with secondaries at higher ilvl?
As a reference, I'm like 235 ish, with 3 set unholy. I also play EP vigor which favors doomblade, so I guess that matters as well
Hey, can anyone look at my logs with some feedback? 🙂 https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4JB3h2H96ZzATqK7#fight=13&type=damage-done&source=15
That shouldn’t be the case tho
I'm not necro but I think that you should be playing with Heirmir, not Marileth
Also your opener doesn't look right to me
It should be sbs, snd, mut, garrote, rupture, vendetta, shiv, vanish, mut etc. Or something along those lines.. I'm sure necro mains will correct it
Yes to less Medien Energie ^^
i have a dumb q: What does it mean for a trinket to be hasted exactly? And why does it make it better / do more dam for specs with high haste? (Like people say shadowgrasp is good for sin because it's hasted)
Correct, he seemed to mess that up a but there with weird shiv and 2nd sbs timing
Timing *. Also yes, Heirmir is superior to Marileth
@late grove hasted means it ticks faster or does the damage ticks faster if you have more haste
for example totem lasts 15 secs
what is preferred with master assassin talent - vanish into env - mut - env or vanish into mut - env - mut
Doesnt matter
but if you have haste it does more ticks in the full duration
Both fine
more ticks at the same static value listed on the trinket?
you can pop bloodlost and see it does the ticks faster
and for example with flag +bl+pi you would have like 100% haste so it would tick every 0,5 secs instead of 1
dealing literally double damage
Do we hold vendetta in M+ or just use it in CD
Really depends on the situation
Anyone know if cloak works on ingra malloch fear?
It does
No. If your fear is being broken, then it's from a shaman totem. Best way to deal with that fear, is it keep the bad blue pools in front of you. That fear always seems to fear you directly away from the boss
hey guys, do i get the benefit of multidotting the orbs on nerzhul while they are still immune?,
They’re not completely immune, so yes, you gain energy from your bleeds
ok, i have another question, do we delay vendetta while playing with obedience for the reduced cd flag?
!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
No
Damn these necro bugs really feels bad maby its just time to get back to venthyr :/
Daily reminder to all my necro brothers to please report SBS bug
Which bug is that?
Why is this guy doing more than twice as much "melee" damage as me at basically the same ilvl?
dont compare tarragrue logs
literally pointless
he probably had dmg powers and u didnt
Does it make that much difference? He had some PIs as well, but its literally more than double mine o.O
ok fair enough
The orbs on remnant arent giving energy refund right?
Is that a bug or do they just not actually "die"
You get the energy regen from the passive venomous wounds and the bleeds ticking
hey does the guardians amplifier trinket proc work with vendetta?
yea the orbs dont actually die, they go to 1hp and then fade away/ "transform" into those pickup-able objects
just tested it i dont think it does
they actually become friendly so its even worse
was hitting for 1700 without vendetta and with vendetta
because if they didnt die sbs would work like on denath adds
so prolly good to start dotting them while they still have the shield on them
and then just use the venomous wounds passive to smack the boss
yea just 1 rupture and 1 garrote
then dont risk rupture
maybe only garrote
do remember to keep it poisoned too
yeah was just wondering about the rupture refund but u cleared it up @shut garnet
the garrote rupture extra regen works at least
Couple of questions after log review.
-
Use shiv insta off CD? No matter how many CPs I have?
I've been using it when almost full to go straight into a finisher, but it seems top logs use even at 0CP? -
Right before vanish/vendetta comes off CD, hold shiv to use with them?
Just send it
Slam shiv on cd unless you have vendetta coming off cd in 10 seconds
yea u use it on cd even at 0cp, ideally you'd have all bleeds on ur target and not about to expire in the next 10sec and be hovering around 4-5CP and 100-120 energy when pressing it, thats probably like
the most giga optimal usage
but if u have to hold it to do that^ its not worth cuz ull just lose casts during a fight
do you pool before using it?
it depends, ideally you pool before envenom usage anyway right? so if you just reapplied bleeds, u build to 5cp and ur at like 20 energy and ur shiv is coming off cd in 3 sec
might as well right?
There's multiple videos on YouTube that break it down
Better than have someone type it out
envenom from vanish -> muti -> envenom? or envenom -> muti (until high CPs) -> envenom?
I've seen mixed things
low CP envenom in MA window or not
!guide
Never low cp envenom
i guess u could have the vendetta at the same time as the 2nd mutilate, idrk how much of a gain that actually is
but yea never low CP envenom, you always wanna do it at either max or max-1
theres some variation, like i know some ppl like to build to 5, shiv, THEN vanish envenom
cuz u can get the MA buff on an envenom, a mut to 4 and then the 2nd envenom if ur lucky
Ok ty., That's why I'm asking here. I saw that in a youtube video and it sounded suspicious 🙂
like i know you always shiv into vanish mut when ur running deeper, with EP/vigor honestly no clue, i see more ppl doing shiv -> build to max/max-1 -> vanish env mut env(if prev mut hit for 4)
i was doing this before but someone said it was bad to vendetta before both bleeds were up
flag does get extra dmg from vendetta right?
it should do yeah, so at the latest u should vendetta right before u flag
so last night i started going mut snd mut garrote flag rupture vendetta shiv vanish muti even etc
While we are at it , I got 2 on use , 252 totem and 239 guardian trinket .. sims do totem first then the other one ... Should I do that or the other way around ?
what u think of that @shut garnet
Totem first id say since it benefits from haste
Hi guys! If you use Salvaged Fusion Amplifier and Obedience legendary, do you line up the trinket with Flagellation and Vendetta or use them on CD? Except the Opener ofc. Thanks on advance!
they both kinda do benefit from haste, just not fusion one directly
idk which one more tho.
That's not a thing anymore. It used to be back in the day, that your dot damage was based off of your damage buff when you used it. Now it doesn't matter. Damage goes off your current damage buffs
so going vendetta flag rupture is just better then
thing is if u vendetta later i guess u get like an extra global in it instead of applying the bleed, the only issue is usually whether u vendetta at like 4sec or 6.5-7sec, u always reapply rupture around the 24 sec mark, so im not rly sure how beneficial that is over just vendettaing before the flag
So yes technically you used to need to have all your percent damage buffs up before you'd fire bleeds. Now it doesnt matter
so if you mut snd mut gar vendetta flag rup shiv build vanish envenom u should get the exact same amount of envenoms in vendetta
as if you mut snd mut gar flag rup vendetta shiv build etc
idek what the sim does tbf 
Depends on how much you Crit. That's the wonky thing with Ass. Mutilate combo points generated is 2 to 4. So there really is no "standard" rotation, just general rules of thumb
now im curious about the dps variation when u do diff openers
prob better to check full html report or will it say the same?
yeah but just add in another muti if u dont hit 4-5 i guess
@subtle kiln do u know if quicksim sample ability log will say the same as the apl in the html report like u usually sent for sub opener?
exaclty? I dont believe so will change up based on CPs and blindside
should be get slice going, get a mut, gar flag rupter and go
It's weird that it wants to vanish -> muti and not build to vanish -> enven
its probably to get vanish on cd asap
also the assa opener has very little variation last time we checked different openers.
yea, prolly why so many ppl do diff shit as well
correct. you dont want to lost CD casts
Is it worth making rank 6 legendary this week? 🙂
in the end, at least in sims opener didnt mean a whole lot as long as you had the basics
spec is forgiving and evens out over the encounter
yea, respecting pandemic reapplication, not missing shiv casts/casts generally, managing multidotting n shit efficiently, pooling properly will have WAAAAY more of an impact towards ur overall
than the order of like
3 globals in ur opener
Yup exactly. You need snd, garrote, rupture, cov ability, Vendetta all rolling. And it doesnt matter how you get there, just get there (without capping energy from Vendetta of course)
Where do you find the sample ability log? I forget
well you want cov ability with full cp finisher after asap
so rupturing then flag is oof on assa, you can't make it up that easy
if you're necro open with sbs
that's about the it
quick sim, sample apl
Bring night fae back :(
yep, by the time you have the gear/conduits/soulbinds for obedience to be better you'll have enough to craft doom/obedience to 6
yeah thats the thing i was referring to on IV opener
With DS it doesn't matter when and on how many combos you Shiv. You can't get 2 Envenoms in the window like you can with Vigor either way @rocky rain
I ran ToP with obedience, just to try it. kinda liked it. no idea if it was best choice
its just 1-2 lines off
what do they have listed? isn't that Seli's guide? can just ask
For sure. I used to run Doomblade in there even. It's all bosses and big dudes
Flag should just be in-between 5-6
just move flag up. Seli is necro simp 
yeah ik
Think it's just a general guideline for ALL covenant abilities, Flag is just different
It's saying to use your ability as a general rule.
there's also a bit of energy starvation in opener with DS/BS or there was. not sure if the higher gear took that away.
That's what Vendetta is for
Yeah that didn't seem right. It also doesn't account for CT on the single target APL
it still there (or was) with vendetta
Hence the questions here 😄
but vendetta before flag rupture should be good anyways right
Ah gotcha. I didn't notice it on Tuesday, yesterday I ran vigor though
cause flag will do more dmg?
At what point does EP,Vigor do better than the other?
lashing as well i assume works
at more targets @glad siren
probably never for venth. just theyre close enough its more player / encounter pref
numerically blindside/deeper is better on ST than ep vigor, but its player preff
and yea as scath said the diff is pretty fair on venthyr, but on necro its within MoE
its like 15 dps or some shit lmao
Honestly in done bouncing between blindside/DS. Just going EP/Vigor all the time now. It's just simpler, and it works. I loved blindside last tier, but this tier seems super underwhelming
try doing ur opener without lust with bs deeper
actually unplayable
even with lust u starve 
i agree, its just rly unfun to me
Annnd there are more pauses In fights this tier as well, so you get more energy that way as well.
like if i was going for some rank 1 omega parse on a target dummy i guess id have to take it
but otherwise, nah
maybe in 3 patches 
Ty for that.
maybe when shadowlands corruption comes in clutch
the build will feel ok to play after 5 expedients
No 

34% crit
give expedients back
So with ep do you switch to obedience?
i just started to play with obed for all now, even tho it simmed worse by like 1%
obedience performs better where theres more targets

That’s kind of the power of obedience. It’s a one legendary machine that’s close to DB in ST, and best by far for sub
And works in m+ for sin.
yee its rly good if ur planning on multispeccing assa sub
It’s definitely the most flexible legendary sin’s had so far at least 
Maybe if I were venth I wouldn’t be running Zoldyck’s on the grue™️
No db so much better lol
Without a true execute fight. There’s no sire moment here 
imo zoldyck is just kinda trash for raids, ur just gimping ur dmg so hard for no real reason
like if u REALLY REALLY needed the execute i guess its fine
but it just cant be that good gimping ur dmg from 100% to 30% boss health by that much
It was really good for sire because p3 was Uber tight in prog
But overall yeah, Zoldyck’s not great
But guys lust at 30, I’m an execute class 

And we WANT Elaborate Planning to follow Pandemic rules, right my peeps? Where ya at?
Lol
do i craft doomblade on cloak?
yep
crit vers?
crit haste
Crit haste Doomblade. Obedience go Crit verse
Blind side procs 
30% more damage on bleeds and poisons 
Still outdamage by warriors’s execute 
9.0 sin rogue
Haha
You only go crit vers if you plan on multispeccing obedience. Afaik
Honestly doesn't matter too much
im venthyr tho should I still go for doomblade
i see everyone on warcraftlogs has doomblade
you go obedience so you can play sub 


got absolutely 0 interest in sub
take the bis sims with a grain of salt, 99% of people are not going to be able to get every item on that list at mythic quality, and simming yourself is way more accurate

!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
on pure st obedience never wins afaik
over doomblade
but i actually never tried anything different than 5min patchwerk

What's afaik?
Do you guys think Doomblade is better than obed?
doomblade slaps, personally i insta crafted it r6
only planning on sub on painsmith prog probably
if they never nerfed obedience we wouldnt have to use our brains to decide what to play atm

Can I even get doomblade rn?
it sucks when its only ~1% diff but obed can perform better or worse depending on situation

Like the drop
yes
But the mort regar tower isnt open im pretty sure
unfortunately mort'regar isnt on this week in torgy
embarassin
then ill just make obedience I think
Wasn’t there a thing where you could continuously walk into the corridor until you got the wing you wanted
oh I can?
Yes


Do you guys think I should do doom or obedience then?
I feel like doom lowkey looks better
which are the best trinkets to assassination?
think u should ask urself are u gonna play sub
check herodamage or bloodmallet for trinket sims
me too
i mean obed is good in m+ too i think
Fusion amp, shadowgrasp totem, and phial
I'll have Doomblade maxed out and r4 Obedience
but pure st it is behind but only by like 1%
Yeah I’d do that as well if I were venthyr
Doomy is good if you suddenly want to go another covenant for whatever reason
but yeah idk seems it can over/underperform (obedience)
depending on timers or extra targets i guess
It’s not the legendary - it’s the play. Getting as much CP spent during the window as possible will maximize damagé
Alright how do I do the thing even to get the right corridor?
tbf if you're gonna main assassination and just offspec sub on niche fights, craft doomblade rank6. the diff between r6 and r4 obedience for sub is super minimal
and regardless, ur not gonna int ur prog cuz ur doing 50 less dps xd
its minimal for all cloaks anyways
Walk in - if it’s mortregar, you’ve obtained the bag
If not walk out and go agane
like it honestly doesnt matter, just whatever ur gonna play more
Ah ok
0.2-0.6% i think from r4 to 6 maybe
Does it say if its mortegar?
or do I need to know
oh



Do you guys think I can beat layer 3 in thorgast if I stealth past all enemies and just kill bosses
cause I wont get power ups so idk
im ilvl 203 rn
ye I think its like 175 for layer 3
Lol alright
More than likely, yes. Just sprint/vanish past anything that can see through stealth. Also, if you're doing that, pick up any of the powers in corners where you just break a vase. Small things help a lot.
Ah
I started stealthing layer 8s around 210-211 item level
Hi guys, I have a bug with deadly poison, its falling off so many times before the 1hour, is it normal or a bug ?
are you doing torghast?
ye
I still don't get why it falls off when you exit torghast
18 floors
Same reason it drops when you leave arena, blizzard has this weird thing with instanced content
because the anima powers buff stuff and it wants to strip those buffs on exit
everything gets caught in that strip
Or I guess maybe 15 floors with 9.1 changes if those are in TC
so there is no chance you exit torghast with a powerful buff
So if I wanna get layer 3 on TC
do I need to beat all 15 at layer 1?
im on layer 1 floor 7 rn
Flasks, sharpening stones, food buff, augment rune do not
It’s just poisons
probably a category of buff types
Yes
Damn
And it’s been happening for rogues who do arena since forever, so I’m assuming the torghast instance works the same way as the arena instance
It drops both when you leave arena tho doesn't it? Been an expac since I did arenas on my rogue
it also unsummons pets

Almost positive it only drops the lethal poisons (wound/deadly/instant) but I haven’t done arena since like March so 
if I get morgethar in TC do I need to beat all 15 floors to get the legendary?
Should drop off the first boss you kill
Assuming layer 3+
Didn't they change it so torghast wings drop leggos you don't have from torghast regardless of where they originally dropped
then fish for your morgethar to be the first level and you only have to do the first 5
Or am I dreaming that up
Im on floor 8 and I cant beat the portal guard rip
I stealthed past everything so I have no powers
guess imma restart
and get powers
okay thanks, when we leave some instances so
Yeah TC scales weirdly after 6/12
Ye
Does recuperator conduit applies every time SnD resets with Envenom?
or only when u use it at the start?
isnt it just
"while snd is active"
like ull just passively keep gaining health i guess
i get it now, thx
Yeah it’s fucking stupid content
From one moment to the next you can go from invincible god to total trash is my experience
Just because they messed up the scaling
Pretty sure torghast strips lethal poison because of Red Ink existing that modifies it
Just do it in a group and it's fine.
what tc means? torghast?
Twisting Corridors
how do you avoid eye of the jailer's beam with shadowstep?
Cloak at the same time
when I do that it teleports me right in front of the beam line
Same
Never got it right tbh
then just step
Just cloak it
I'll try that
Or use the chains
I cloak every beam
Not worth cheesing and dying
sometimes I use door of shadow too
anyone know the dps upgrade for having just the 3 unholy shards?
+400 for me
The step puts you in the front left. It's very easy once you know where it puts you.
This video shows it really nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyDgcPySg6Y&t=312s

Today we bring you the Assassination Necro guide for 9.1. This build is best for 2 targets and single target! This build and playstyle is really consistant and will pump huge d...
He does it multiple times.
For me it was closer to 600
depends on rank, i think i got over 600
Hi. I've heard something about deathly shadows pre boss vanish then change to doomblade for dps increase. How does it work? Is it for the buff or for the CPs for slice and dice?
Doesn't work for assa as far as I know. It only still works for sub
Okey thanks. And is it for the buff then?
it was never worth for assa
as sub you basically vanish 3-5 secs before you pull with the leggo>swap leggos>snd
and then opening rotation
no true anymore
Man I really dont want to reroll covenants but venthyr is just better for assas and sub says all the "check pins"
Imo dont swap if you enjoy your covenant. But I'm venthyr as assa and enjoy it more then NF in 9.0.5
@terse cloak whats your current covenant?
necro, but dont raid just arena and m+
Necro is better for assa for m+ anyway isnt it.
no it's obedience venthyr
but both work fine
i just hope they fix the SBS bug soon 
id definitely not advise swapping to necro if you're venthyr rn
Should craft it then
no sorry im necro and was going to go venth, but lose all the teleprts etc
i mean with the amount of anima you get from korthia now it;s pretty easy to build everything again
you also keep the extra anima achieve things
thanks 👍
You're gated by the souls tho
if you keep dpsing and walking toward where its going if you ss near the end of it turning you wont get hit
you have a lot of time to wait
shadowstep always takes to a spot on the left side of the eyr. You wait till beam pass through that spot and then step to get max uptime on boss. This works on both directions the beam comes. If theres an add you may wanna cloak the beam instead to cleave add too
!guides
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/oxYczJRrHZ72qX1dACbcxy any idea why its recommending i take Count the Odds for sin? its choosing it over well placed steel and lethal poisons
infexious 
do you have it selected as one of the options to sim?
Hey guys, got amplifier trinket yday. You guys use it on cd or you align it with vendetta or smth? New to rogue, thanks
on cd my homie
What in Tarnation happened with your sim, king
no idea, i did it multiple times too 
This truly is a
moment
Not on you
I saw what you had selected lmfao

i give up on getting doomblade from TC, I think imma make a t2 obedience and wait for morgethar to pop up
@cosmic prism count the odd was your current conduit, and you ran the sim with a replace gem/enchant but only had 1 shard selected. Thus it ran the sim but showed your current stuff (with cto) as best
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hdL3B4cKXZH8e2rvsv7njf should be better (didn''t sim with replace)
I’m working right now, but if some one doesn’t mind can you explain how you are able to tell who pulled a boss using warcraftlogs? Pm me maybe? Thank you!
Hello,so, sims say obedience is better but everybody is playing doomblade, im vent, wahat do i upgrade first to rank6?
shouldnt that work by replacing each current shard with the selected to see if it is a dps increase in any slot?
Doomblade, Obedience becomes better with more gear from raid
unless you want to play assa too in M+, then I would make obedience
thanks mate, i play sub in m+, so i'll upgrade doom first then i'll see in future
yeah select each shard you want to include in the sim once "replace gem/enchant" is ticked
Obedience is also great for sub M+
Guys, sry if it was answered before, but Raidbot sims of domination shard bonuses show me something different compare to pins (faq). It shows me that the best is red (+672), frost (+538) and worst unholy (+117). Seems like unholy set bonus is not simed properly. Any ideas?
It should not be far behind on doomblade for assa with current gear
but best to sim
Do you have the headpiece to enable the unholy bonus?
lol so I just shadowstep the boss to get behind the beam
oh, i know where is the problem, sorry my bad. I disabled shard bonus sims accidentally. Forgot it.
i still dont see how having replace gem/enchant affects swapping conduits?
what is our haste cap unbuffed we try to get at got 23crit 25haste 30mastery 6 versa in % or 28crit 22haste 30mastery 4 versa in % for sin
Because certain conduits like certain stats more. Change any variable, and the value of everything changes.
how long does garrote need to last to be worth applying?
yes because count the odds will give me any increase in dps in sin spec 
Hmmm. You Didnt really word your question very well then. Not my fault 😁
xd roll the bones sin hack
you didnt read into the issue well enough to give an opinion
I give you an answer. And you respond by being ass. 🤡
thanks for your input 🙂 have a nice day
do not fight fellow roguebros
You are welcome. Likewise!
@ancient peak garrote is fine almost always unless mob is dying in like 5 secs
What do you gents run on Tyrannical week? I have a lot of burst pump in group, so do I go ST for champions and bosses?
I run the same as I run every other week. The nice thing about 'sin is that we can do great single target dps in the same spec that gives us our AoE
It's just a matter of focus. We do our AoE by spreading our ruptures and keeping CT up, and we do great single target by not having to spread ruptures and keeping CT up
Yes. It'll put you in the same spot every time. Once you learn where you can dps and strafe and once the beam is past just SS
Yep, it's great once you get it. Though I sometimes still have to start the run so some of my guildies get their butts moving
What are your thoughts on Necro vs Venthyr? And respectively, if I do assa in raids, would you go Outlaw or Sub for M+?
I was Necro in the hopes that outlaw Dwathspike would be great, but it seems its subpar.
Isn't obedience simming like 1k higher?
But when you realy want to push m+, and then we’re talking 21+ go necro outlaw for m+
So sub is trash for M+?
In full bis mythic gear yes, but everything is close enough together imo to play what you enjoy most
Nobody said that
It’s actually really good, all 3 specs are pretty viable for m+ rn
But if you wanna m+ in sub go venthyr with obedience
I'm probably doing something wrong with my aoe rotations in assa, but can't get decent numbers out.
Well depends on the group size right.
But like 6-8k maybe on like a 5 group I'd say.
This is guessing tho.
What do you end overall on, that’s more important
I played sub last season and the aoe rotation felt more smooth.
If you’re comfortablr with sub, try it now. It’s way better than last season
Around 5.5-6.5k
What threw me off is that fan of knives on a full group sometimes gives just one combo
I likely just need practice.
Probably, what is your ilvl?
233 now.
Yeah then you should land higher
And doomblade?
true!
Ryfie spotting 
🤗
He’s a sub brother nowadays tho
i wish I could play sin more but conduit energy.......
Don’t let him fool you
😰
hahahah
why does conduit energy exist lol it's already bad enough with the cov swap cooldown
Ikr
It’s maddening
Praying they’ll remove that shit in 9.2
Probably not
But please let me first use my sbs in peace
Without having to rage every other cast
yeah hahah we love necro sin
😍
It’s wonderful, if it works
Necro sin gamers truly ethical
just read about the bug - is it when the target dies it doesnt refund the charge if you've cast it twice?
!trinkets
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
Ye it sucks really
plz no, I love SBS I hope they'll fix it soon
!deathly
anyone knows if deathlyshadow gear swap works for Assa like it does for sub ?
nope it doesnt
rip, thanks
crit/haste on obedience cloak?
So does Sin have a massive gap in DPS in M+ compared to Outlaw? I was strictly doing M+ last season but now I’m raiding so im debating playing strictly sin or sin raid outlaw M+ lol.
Is that a good cry or a bad cry? 😂

How’s your combo points doing bone boy
Outlined in the 9.1 section of the #assassination-faq





I’m seli’s worst nightmare
Venth sub on cleave fights
Ceveeee 
tfw when you do like 8.6k dps on nine and that is like a 99 as sub but green log as assa
kek
on mythic?
pretty sure 8.6k is a 99 for sin
i mean my 9.4k is r1
maybe first week it was krangled
8.6 on heroic is 99 on sin
Mythic tho
well lets just say its not a sub fight but my bad didnt look at assa tables
kind of surprised how you cant see the dps then you begin climbing slowly
tornado gamer although i was not in the kill in the end
well the other assa rogue in my guild did fine
its not a green log ?!
Looks green to me
Get good scrub
Only 8.6
Pathetic
log check
is there any rough ballpark how much a full set of shards adds to our DPS? I'm simming my character against ~ilvl rogues with 3 piece shards, and they're coming out like 1200-1500 dps ahead of me. That seems insane
around 1k for a full set seems fair.
- the shards which are a few hundred dps
Yeh
ok, wow, how about that
yea rank 4 unholy set
is blast 1k
and wait when we have full soulbinds
that is some extra deeps
Theo my boi
My ticking sack of terror is simming highest for me in ST .. .is this a simbait?
Nope!
kek
yea i've had no luck
got that stat trinket from last hardmode boss too 😄
sol
I’ve had good luck otherwise so I can’t bitch
so'leah's secret technique has dropped for my group every time i've run it, but not for me
hey has anyone noticed that the new Necrolords legendary sometimes doesnt recharge after the target dies ?
pin
yeh sbs itself is bugged.
not the legendary
ahhh thanks a lot i was getting pretty annnoyed with it
it actually seems worse in 9.1 than it was in 9.0.5
What is?
the SBS bug
Just as a thing, “sim bait” isn’t really a thing ever
What about it
WhatMik?
What are you saying?
I see 3 boneyboys in top
people getting 4 PIs?
I see PIs whores 😦
So scary
Ye so?
It’s been like this all expansion
Sin rogue is a good PI target
I get PI but I don’t ask for it
just wait until out boi passasin gets to that boss on reclear
Of they have got the sets, migjt as well send pi their way
we about to see 20 buffs
average*
PI is more effective on other specs like DK
Speak for yourself
Yea, sin rogues. That’s what I said
You were literally in here during sire prog telling people to PI sin during p3 for the execute
And now you’re here complaining about sim getting PI’s at all


he wishes he got the PI
lets be fair fuck pi we want a kyrian druid with leggo
Tell your priest to just give it you till you
I don't wnat PI there are much better targets in my raid
And while they’re at it the NF ability too
add in kyrian hunter with kyrian leggo
If you ain’t first you’re last.
but you dont like other raids giving PI to sins?
I even get PI from our shadow priest
ok hes just dumb
I get PI but no battle shout 😏
Get a new guild
I don’t want it but you can’t have it either
Nop, that's your interpretation 🙂
Stop being the voice in my head all patch!
I hear Limit needs a new rogue :p
Exile 
You got Max's fax #? Ill send him my resume!
Anyones elses SBS not staying on dummies?
If you say pogger in his chat 3x you get a raid spot
SBS drops from dummies outside of shadowlands, I noticed
hard to get some good tests on aoe
necrolord dummies are all 2 pairs no aoe groupings
byeah pretty shitty
I tried to test using the aoe dummies in boralis but yes, SBS just drops instantly
so not very helpful
Also part of our buggy covenant ability I guess
and shit gear like u had in CN
it's not about parses xD
These bugs really help validate the swap from necro weeks ago despite my lack of will to do so 😭 my sympathies to all you boner boiz.
xD
feel you man, dw if u go venthyr i find the playstyle pretty fun too
It's about misusing PI, during progression*
Oh im enjoying being a bitey boi once again. But I was super hesitant to make the swap just based on sims....now im like....patting myself on the back >.<
How is it misusing pi’s when your rogue might be one of the only ones in the raid with unholy set bonus
maybe progression is the point, my raid has some really unreliable players who die a lot, I do not, im often the last one to die on a wipe, so often people ask to buff me because im more reliably alive for the whole pull
The M+ rotation on IV for assassination implies you don't re-garrote after the first 3, you just maintain 3-4 Ruptures. I feel like that's not right, but... is it?
yet I would not be the best to use PI on otherwise
You do garrote
Use garrote on cd when you feel targets live long enough
oh nevermind I can't read and that's the problem
so garrote on 3 targets rupture on 3 targets?
A common problem to be fair, you’re good


Garrote and ruptures on everything that lives long enough
ty
Running obedience on m+ is so smooth with lashing scars 239
True
I bring attitude, mechanical awareness and an insatiable desire to eat all the PIs
haha yeah maybe. But you know it's not exactly how it works in facts.
Or maybe some of our rogue friends are best buddies with their priests
I guess it’s the way the world works
More likely to be this yeah
Also, I havent done it but I heard the Nine is pretty easy on Mythic. Might as well PI who ever you like most in guild
yeah it's trash boss
But it would kills me being a UH DK with good gear and not getting PI during aotd tbh
There’s worse things happening in the world
And if you know you’re close to a rank 1 parse, might as well ask for an extra Pi
I get it
I wish we get tricks back
real tricks
It is real
legacy tricks
Oh and the issue that made me see this PI thingy
Is someone coming to me "dude look WCL Assa is so much better than Sub rn"
I was like "wtf are you saying" then I saw last week parses, with only first 3 bosses, crazy amount of PI on assa Rogues.
If he tries to prove that with a Nine parse ignore and block
Unless it’s your RL asking you to play sin
WCL stats never filter externals parses so it has been scuffed since 9.0 but yeah
In which case you say yes sir
haha no fortunately my RL is a sense person
Wear the normal one on OH bis
Thicc dagger MH and toothpick normal once OH ok
you got it
Second normal mode sylv dagger this week O_o there goes my loot luck for the entire patch
No new dagger for you in until 2023
dont go alone in a dark night my man
Get outta here
It will be a green one in the 10.0 pre-patch
In my defense, I got six straight weeks of cloaks and rings out of chest last tier
rogues with the word stab in their name are the weakest breed
False
Your unsolicited opinion is as appreciated as it is relevant
Illidan DH names are
im glad that your flexxing of 2 sylvanas daggers has ferried this chat into a new age of progression and learning
Can confirm
Hi buddy
Illidad
I made an alt Rogue named Knifeywifey and got flagged for a name change. Went with Pyrethrin until I started my naming theme of "--kitten" and went with Shadekitten, but I don't use my Rogue alts anymore.
Can't imagine actually using Stab in a name, those people are weak and their bloodline will surely not survive the winter.
what is it that makes people use kitten as a naming convention i've seen a fair bit
cough cough how's sin rogue everyone hehe 🙂
mf named after a shoe lol
Jealous of all the PIs going out on top logs :/
😔
mf can’t even maxmax smh
got em

worse than that, mf named after a shoe, which is named after a cat, making fun of people naming themselves after a cat
smh my head
Mfer is named after a dumb cat
Do we just bonespike out of stealh/vanish and then forget about it for the rest of fight or do we use it for combo points at any point
For MA
Dump during gemstones
yuh
^
Mfers literally have the letters “sp” in their name making fun of cat names 
mfers literally have a dog as their profile pic because he's a GOOD BOY

mfers actually have is in their name acting like they are theorycrafters or something
That’s factual though
mfers out here with red names being all cute n shit


uwu

lmaoo true
a rogue friend of mine said he really really appreciates the new FAQ channels @balmy condor @limber lion and I was like I know the smart MFers who worked on em
and they're as cute as they are smart
tru
a rogue friend of yours? yo ping that fool lemme get those digits

he'll be so confused as to why he has a ping here
I agree
It's one of those names that sounds better than it looks and then grows on you

That's great because I didn't do anything 
I added one thing and Whispyr just removed it right away
gotta agree with you there
@balmy condor by the way, Fuu added all links to guides and resources on #subtlety-faq
like I did previously
what's the plan, are we doing that or na
idk really
I've been thinking about it
never disparaged anyone named after a kitten just wanted to know why that one in particular was a common convention 😔
but people with stab 😈
does raidbots let you sim shards
Is obedience easy to play as doomblade in sin rogue? or do I need to get a lot of stacks? cause i cant get more than 20/25 per flagelation
thinking about crafting my soul cinder leggo - currently raiding as Sin, but unsure if i want to craft a high level Doomblade (currently running 235 gloves) if i will be swapping to Sub for raid. Question for the community: is there a rule that can be used to determine when it is appropriate to swap to sub (ASSUMPTION: As a venth, sub is better for most raid encounters when you achieve a given minimum gear threshold)? I want to craft a high-level leggo, but i dont want to waste it on a sin leggo if im swapping to sub shortly
I like Sin, but sub looks to be simming way better at high end
specs are really close
