oak sky
#

which has a bunch of 3t pulls

#

but in practice its probably meh at best

dark token
#

Not really, no

#

Dashing ties with obedience for my character, and Zoldyck quite a bit worse (admittedly at 235)

oak sky
#

poke the bear

dark token
#

MA talent is pretty good actually

#

I like it equally to subterfuge haven't decided which I like to play better

#

MA sims better

oak sky
#

are you simming patchwerk?

dark token
#

No?

oak sky
#

then why would those legendaries sim higher

balmy condor
hollow river
dark token
#

Feelycract subterfuge is better but having played keys both with and without it it's equal dmg and more aoe on big pulls like in dos

balmy condor
#

And you’re entitled to your opinion, even if it’s wrong

cursive silo
#

Playing a lot doesn’t mean youre good lol

dark token
#

So if the sim says MA is better

balmy condor
#

You wouldn’t

dark token
#

And I got more dmg from MA in keys

#

Why is subterfuge better

balmy condor
#

Because iron wire exists?

dark token
#

Yeah the silence utility is nice but not critical

oak sky
#

reduced damage

dark token
#

Depends on your comp

main forge
#

As always, the sim is completely perfect play. There is always feelcrafty and other things to take into account.

dark token
#

If I'm in a low interrupt comp I would probably take subterfuge

balmy condor
#

I mean in every key there’s casters that could benefit from a silence on pull, it helps group up mobs if the casters are spread, it helps the tank going into the pull, you can vanish for 3 potent silences/kicks in a hectic pull

#

Like

#

That doesn’t seem very “meh I guess I’ll just go for 50 more dps” to me

#

But if you want to do that

#

You are a man of convictions and you have the right to play the game however you’d like

#

Go for it

oak sky
#

on an unrelated note, fuck holy priest

dark token
#

It's also not 50 dps but more like 400-500 but yeah

#

I agree the utility of subterfuge is hard to measure and I'm still 50/50 on the usage of MA or subterfuge in keys, I vary it based on dungeon or comp or what I feel like lol

#

I do think however Zoldyck is pretty shit if you play venthyr

#

Both dashing and obedience sim a LOT higher

oak sky
#

not for me

#

and i have better non leggo legs than cape

#

at least dashing doesnt

#

i should say

cursive silo
#

A lot higher (55)

I have been really struggling these past few weeks before I got my 3rd domination socket... and seeing the parses being low... in the green and grey range, sometimes a blue one... but now looking at just night fae rogues alone... I'm not doing bad... hitting top 100 or 200 on some heroic fights. makes me happy that I am doing SOMETHING right at least. even if night fae is probably the worst cov right now.

tacit wedge
#

Or just 3xgarrote, vanish, reapply them and watch everything melt

main forge
#

also with that silence, DPS can just worry about DPSing and not waiting for a cast.

oak sky
#

so called free thinkers using fok in keys when they can use the chad mutilate instead

dark token
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hollow dirge
dark token
#

Also zerocool is blasting with dashing scoundrel in keys too so

tacit wedge
#

Tho i am a nasty Internal Bleeding user

dark token
#

It's not just me thinking it's good

dark token
#

#1 sin rogue Rio

#

Also has highest key dps rankings

tacit wedge
#

highest key dps ranking

#

Yeee because m+ is only that

#

And not good use of utility

hollow dirge
# dark token It's not just me thinking it's good

Everyone thinks and knows it’s good. That said, for an average player, it’s not an advice to give .
Most players will get the best results from subt/zoldyck+ all the benefits of silence and stuff whispyr mentioned.
It’s an interesting expansion in terms of dps diversity, especially for rogues, many picks can be picked and played efficiently, but some are still going to provide your grp with a bit more

Zoldyck value often lost especially in tyrannical weeks as by the time bosses get to 30% hp your 2nd 2 mins comes up, reducing time in execute phase

main forge
#

I really didn't like Flaggelation when I last played with it leveling up either. felt like a wet noodle and didn't seem to do anything. felt clunky to use, even though sepsis is too. Necro had the best ability but their cov ability sucked. I really enjoy soul shape. gets me out of jams and is fun to use.

dark token
#

Same reason raging axe power isn't as good as brand

#

Not to mention it just sims lower

vestal wren
#

i don't maintain the google doc but no its using the default profile so the answer is no.

I aim to be at the bottom of the damage taken meters so... I didn't see much use for it.

zinc frost

#

It's amazing how many boss fights seem to have these little 5 second intermissions here and there

dark token
#

Zoldyck def the best tif you play necro but like I said, if venthyr consider dashing scoundrel for high keys/tyrannical weeks

misty holly
#

perfect for a fleshcraft shield

hollow dirge
#

Fleshcraft is nice,but having to cast anything as a rogue is cancer

misty holly
#

when you are watching for them, they are everywhere

hollow dirge
#

Same with door of shadows

cursive silo
#

I mean theres a lot of times youre doing nothing lol

hollow dirge
misty holly
#

sylvanas changes phases has a break each time

#

after you jump platforms sometimes you get time to fleshcraft too

cursive silo
#

Yea thats the point of the spell lol

#

Except if ure using emeni

main forge
#

Sin rogues if anything can actually get a cast off. Sub and outlaw might be too button mashy imo

strange python
#

Should I have any haste cap if I'm running frost shards?

#

frost bonus*

dark token
#

No just stack giga crit basically

hollow dirge
# fallen arch Disagree

Well to each his own, but I always liked melee becouse everything is instant. Even back in the day when slam was a cast, I hated it on my warr 😂

dark token
#

And haste where you can get it

#

I'm at 1100 crit and 500 haste and my sim still prefers crit gear

fallen arch
#

It's a massive shield that u can lose on any downtime

strange python
tacit wedge
#

Wait ppl use door of shadow in raid/m+

strange python
#

Btw what leggo are you playing with? DS or mutilate?

tacit wedge
#

Sim

strange python
cursive silo
misty holly
#

door of shadows should have had no cast time like warrior leap or something

oak sky
#

dashing is probably better to craft if you dont have either but if you have both sim it @strange python

misty holly
#

just target it and go

oak sky
#

didnt it in beta?

Wouldn’t go as far as calling it OP but yea its fun

#

Have been wondering… with the frost set might it be an idea to go Kyrian with Kleia as SB and the DS legendary to get more crits?

kind veldt
#

@rocky lodge u could always sim it

rocky lodge
#

Ye was thinking of doing that when i get home from work, just maybe if someone had already done any research on it

iron orchid
#

If you happen to check the details of the sims in the pins, you'll notice that there is a kyrian profile using kleia and dashing

Ah Nice

how much of a dps inc is to level your conduits by 1 rank

Was a weird night tbh.
Came in and one-shot Soulrender & Remnant after having trouble on Tuesday (we've already downed them before, we just had a rough night). Got Painsmith after a few pulls and then did 17 attempts on Guardian. People were dying to stupid things and by the 17th pull we had people dropping off to go to sleep because they blamed exhaustion. One pull we had like 117k left on boss.
So despite it bring past raid time, some of us decided to do one more pull. We were 2/3/7 at this point. We took a break to talk about strats and adjustments since we were running a smaller comp. Downed it on first try. Went to sleep and woke up 4 hrs later for work.

Oh GOD

#

That sounds terrible

#

I got to tank my raid last night and it was pretty fun, so

sudden shell
#

dumb question, when playing vigor, do you mutilate on 3 CP or just go into envenom not to overcap by chance

arctic hare
#

You envenom on 4-5 cp, if you’re at three, I recommend using poisoned dagger for that extra cp

#

Cause its not affected by the passive that gives an extra combo point for every crit

arctic hare
#

Heh

spice spire
arctic hare
#

I thought I would honestly never use poisoned dagger

orchid timber
#

is frost getting a nerf or is infexious click baiting agian ?

spice spire
#

At 3 CP. better to overcap by 1-2 than using a finisher at 3

real bay

there is no nerf

spice spire

Dashing

narrow ravine
#

they are pretty close in ST, and dashing is a bit better in m+

#

you can use top gear on raidbots to sim with different legendaries on

make sure maim and lethal conduits are simmed too, each legendary seems to like one or the other more

shadow helm

phantom fire/shadowcore oil and eternal skirmish shiet?

hollow river
scenic root

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

hollow river
#

Eternal skirm/eternal stats I don’t think is a big difference either but idk

shadow helm
#

i mean with frost shards

#

more crit procs = frost procs right

narrow ravine
#

if they do end up letting us use two legendaries, dashing+zoldyck might be so nice

thorny pond
hollow river
fallen arch
#

A lot of stuff paired with Zoldyck is gonna be reallly good I think

#

But there are probably specs/classes that can make way more broken combo's than this

thorny pond
#

Lot to happen between now and then

#

I remember in legion we had similar talks then they added the ring and tuned things around quite a bit

spice spire
#

@marble hemlock should I craft deathspike or is Zoldyck’s still better 99% of the time? Sorry for ping, legitimately curious and trying to put it in correct chat happybear

Since you’re a higher end Necrolord enjoyer bearJAM

#

I’m a sin gamer Aidandh

#

OTP even

narrow ravine
#

I prefer Zoldyck because its not completely useless on a boss fight

thorny pond
#

I'd prob stick zolds then simply because DS doesn't offer a lot on tyran weeks

spice spire
#

He’s posted some monkaW damage tho

thorny pond
#

eventually you'll get both

spice spire
#

On tyran weeks I’m forced into ST

fallen arch
#

by whom

thorny pond
#

by virtue of being a sin rogue on tyr weeks

spice spire

Because my ele and UDH aren’t doing dick for boss damage

So i have to pick that burden up

pale plank
#

I don’t think they are gonna do 2 leggo, too hard to balance I think some classes are gonna be bonkers

I still run CT though, not an absolute ape

is MfD+ Nightstalker really better than Subterfuge in m+

fallen arch
#

Not for me

#

I have no clue how to play that

#

So I'll stick with subt

hollow river
#

It’s better for lower keys

fallen arch
#

But played by a robot, that might be better

thorny pond
#

MfD NS revolves around slamming the shit outta CT

narrow ravine
#

I keep seeing places like herodamage only suggest the mfd+nightstalker in every single dungeon slice chart, and I don't really know anyone who actually plays it

#

I mean subterfuge cant be that behind that all top 1000 combinations never change talents?

thorny pond
#

It may assume no restealths

#

check for things like that

hollow river
#

What does hero damage use to get its sims

#

Raidbots patchwerk and dslice?

narrow ravine
#

yeah and raid boss with adds, but was just looking at dslice

thorny pond

AMR and Infexious kekw

#

Oof

#

I have no clue just being a jackass

hollow river
#

Someone in here linked an infexious log

He got rank 1 on some fight

Then a 4 and 8 parse on fatescribe and KT Prayge

#

Balanced as all things should be

#

Plus private logs monkaW

fallen arch
#

Well that he makes questionable guides doesn't make him necessarily a bad player

narrow ravine
#

dunno what assumptions herodamage is making but im scrolling down their top combinations list to find a single instance where they used subterfuge

fallen arch
#

Don't use Herodamage

#

That simple

narrow ravine
#

im not using them clearly cause I am using subterfuge 😛

#

just more a curiosity why its not even in their top 5000 parses

violet jackal
#

Wait is ask mr robot not a good sim site?

narrow ravine
#

my raid leader swears by AMR, and I use raidbots

violet jackal
#

I like that I can adjust the stats to how I want them and it will still optimize gear to fit my criteria

#

I also enjoy not waiting an eternity on vault day to compare dps difference of a single piece of gear

narrow ravine
#

he thinks AMR produces results that are more real world obtainable than simc

harsh lantern
#

I just pay for raidbots it’s very nice

#

Like 5 bucks for zero wait ever

harsh lantern
#

I can’t even use free raidbots you change 2 things and you’re out of iterations

violet jackal
narrow ravine
#

more like 10 things but I get your point

harsh lantern
narrow ravine
#

on dslice, the difference between the entire 2nd row of talents is minimal , a 60dps swing from worst to best

#

for me

#

I might even stop using subterfuge over MA if its this little difference

harsh lantern
#

don’t think I’ve even done a key as sin feels like you gotta be doing 20+ keys for it do anything

#

I always just swap sub

narrow ravine
#

yeah im not a big key pusher, 16-17 is about all I do

harsh lantern
#

same here

#

And I do like zero aoe dmg in those

#

Press FoK and black powder profit

narrow ravine
#

yeah I am way out of practice for sub

#

I just cant pull the ST numbers out of it like sin

harsh lantern
#

It’s kinda close for me

#

But aoe isn’t even close

narrow ravine
#

FoK+BP sounds super easy for packs but on boss fights, im just not doing sub right

#

but to be fair ive only played it maybe twice this whole expac

#

went back to sin because its all muscle memory

harsh lantern
#

yeah I have the great habit of playing a new class sub par every tier

#

but sin is fun I quit rogue too early last tier

scenic root
#

I enjoy sin up to 5 targets. More than 5, just feels bad to FoK and get 1 CP.

slow marsh
#

It

#

And if you sim that vs subt vig in dslice it wins with both MA and zold

narrow ravine
#

im sure, but when I simmed myself it was nearly no difference but maybe dslice is not a very good thing to sim against

slow marsh
#

Dslice is very good for rogue

narrow ravine
#

im more mistrusting of the dslice as a measurement, it seems to do a single 2min boss fight, restealth and then a few small packs of mobs

slow marsh
#

Which is almost exactly how m+ works

narrow ravine
#

maybe on lower keys

slow marsh
#

😫

#

Then do what you want since you're the expert

#

not an expert but its just not how we play the game, we are not doing packs of 4 one at a time, we are pulling 2-3 packs at a time

marble hemlock
#

its just that vend is a bad CD these days

#

used to be one of the strongest with 30% damage amp

#

now its just bad

#

when every other class has CDs that doubles or triples their DPS

#

and ours is still 30% amp

Flag is the better rogue CD now a days

marble hemlock
#

ye

tired citrus
#

general kit should be stronger than a covenant ability but thats shadowlands

spice spire
#

Rogue damage profile is flat af

slow marsh
#

It's nice for the consistency but yeah when other classes are spiking way higher and being played around it does feel bad sometimes

marble hemlock
#

i personally think no CD should boost DPS by more than 50%, at most

slow marsh
#

They wouldn't have a game then

marble hemlock
#

worked fine up until ~2expansions ago though

#

these massive burst windows werent really a thing until late legion/bfa

slow marsh
#

You mean when they started half assing content

#

Makes sense right

marble hemlock
#

i think its just a design decision that sets them apart from other games

#

but it leads to a whole lot of issues

tired citrus
#

used to be fine some expansions ago but ye you are right

marble hemlock
#

whether its world of multipliercraft in pvp, or strategies on raidbosses being tailored around CDs

how do u open on two targets guy

ignore the other one until you finish your opener i geuess

#

yeah, just fuck over someone elses opener by cloaking your debuff

#

if you precloak you still get it but its only 3 persons

thats on opener tho you would have it back for somehting more important

#

Ye for sure cloak first shards on your way to stack point so it goes to someone who's already getting dispelled

if you precloak shard and its on you only 3 get it

#

is there any source that shows a optimization of when the best timings on SOD bosses are to use your cd's ?

slow marsh
#

Not really

#

But it's just on cd

proper mango
#

well usually yes, but you want to align a few things dont ya.

slow marsh
#

We aren't like other classes who can afford to hold

#

Unless it's like hero is coming up for sylvanas p3

cobalt pelican
#

usually that's stuff you figure out for yourself based on how your guild does fights/kill timers etc

#

there won't be a universal answer

proper mango
#

i usually open with all i have Vendetta -->Flag-->Trinket (salvaged) -->Shiv --> Vanish

#

in terms of cds

pale plank
#

i will only hold for like 1 sec max right before shiv for some energy

slow marsh
#

Kill time is the biggest variable

proper mango
#

but i apply my bleeds first and do a 1 cp slice&dice

#

then i'd use my cds

slow marsh
#

Do slice first

#

Then bleed

proper mango
#

whats the upside?

slow marsh
#

!guide

fallen arch
#

Check the openers

slow marsh
#

Suggest you read wowhead openers

fallen arch
#

^

pale plank
#

Mut SnD Mut garrota flagellation rupture vendetta shiv vanish mut and do the rest

proper mango
#

but i would like to know why a slice with more than 1 cp isnt a waste of cp's?

slow marsh
#

Because you don't open with garrote

pale plank
#

you open with mutilate

proper mango
#

yeah but i could open with mut --> rupture --> garote --> Slice

slow marsh
#

And lose dps sure

cobalt pelican
#

you have 50% bonus crit on your first 3 gcds

#

why would you use 2 of them on non-critting bleed applications

slow marsh
#

And you're wasting cp anyways by not mut again in ma window

cobalt pelican
#

read your spells

#

trust the guide

pale plank
#

just a heads up that most of your damage comes from your auto attacks not you bleeds

cerulean nest
#

so fusion amp outperforming shadowgrasp huh?

slow marsh
#

Yeah

#

It's lower cd

proper mango
#

yes iceblades but you dont double mut in MA when you hit 4 cp

slow marsh
#

You do

#

Mut

#

Slice

#

Mut

pale plank

^

fallen arch
#

And you envenom in the ma buff

proper mango
#

at opening?

fallen arch
#

No with vanish

#

So

proper mango
#

yes

#

that is obvious

slow marsh
#

How about this

#

Go to your logs

fallen arch
#

You open with mut-snd-mut-garr-flag-rup-shiv-vend-vanish

slow marsh
#

Tell me what does more dmg rupture or melee

pale plank

proper mango
#

yes melees

fallen arch
#

Dont waste your ma window on garr and rup

#

Its as simple as that

slow marsh
#

So why wouldn't you slice first

proper mango
#

ok i gotcha now. thanks for the laid out explanation

Big brain double garrote instead /s

i dont really feel like venthyr

Idk about all that

is so much better in raid either

On Guardian ye sure

I think it still is, especially for your pure ST fights. But I’m a Necrolord enjoyer still

ye but on guardian you wanna play sub anyway

Feels really good on the nine especially gachiHYPER

for assa necro just seems kinda even

in raids

no important ST fights this tier

not a dps check

yesterday on the nine, i switch my talents from BS/DS to EL/Vigor to make it easier to keep rupture up for both targets, but man i think that was a mistake. i was getting so much energy back that i coudlnt use it in time. plus my group blasted through them like no tomorrow

spice spire
subtle tundra
#

if your raid doesnt have enough dps on guardian, then they didnt gear for shit

fallen arch

Oh ye sure

But that doesn’t mean it’s no dps check

It’s just poorly tuned

Even then though; there are some slower specs in the game fosho.

feral just lower apm

Seems like you spend like 40% of your time just waiting on feral

If that graph is true

Then why do I always hit top 3 in apm in my raid?

cuz mut counts for 2 per

just use phantom fire if you got oil on

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

are you going from logs?

logs count differently

apparition procs counts as 2 actions

every mutilate cast counts as 2 actions

that apm chart is fairly accurate

Yeh I cant math any way that normally outlaw is doing 1.5 actions every 2 seconds in ST 🤷‍♂️

Also for rogue. The wowlog apm count combo point generation as an action

You can play either and still perform well

alpine latch
scenic root
#

I have obedience but with verse for sub, so will make either dashing or doomblade, cause my haste is lower than verse right now. Got some really good neck/ring that are both crit/verse but my haste is super low now. Want to make one to help my haste up some.

oak sky
#

definitely would recommend making dashing over doomblade

#

even if at your current gear it isnt that much better it will pull ahead at some point

alpine latch

I thought it was higher

jaunty kayak
#

anyone else simming 252 + 249 sylv dagger higher than 2x hc sylv dagger? (i forgot how the comparison between all the combinations looked like :( )

its probably because mh dps is really strong

if I have both phial and guardian trinket should i still be going after shadowgrasp totem?

I got my shoulders last night, so hopefully I'll get my last socket from weekly m+ quest. Or if I can finish out normal/heroic raid this weekend. My rogue is my alt now, so been slow going and still have doom on shoulders. Need to craft new Lego asap lmao

alpine latch
#

It's a simple check - run a +12 GV and a +15 GV and compare the top dagger to see the DPS difference

jaunty kayak
#

mhm.. i thought that the a bit lower ilvl of the sylv dagger in mh would beat out the "raw dps" of a generic 252 dagger in mh

oak sky
#

on sub i think it does

alpine latch
#

^

oak sky
#

just on sin the effect isnt quite as impactful

#

its still really strong

alpine latch
#

I believe sub is heroic EoN > 252 MH, but Sin is 252 MH > heroic EoN

oak sky
#

but in offhand 246 edge is better than 252 for sin as well

civic trellis
oak sky

maybe offhand

EoN gets the bonus dmg from subs conduit, which makes it better than 252

you spend a lot more of the fight doing ST

plus p1 is trivial anyway

you almost definitely do more damage with pb

I thought p1 with two adds would be longer

yea they die pretty quick lol

even then, 2 targets i would think MA would be better

Subt is good for constant 2T

makes sense

On altimore was 100% the play imo.

even at 40% they are still pretty close

usually it depends on which conduits
