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
yeah this man is a gamer
ceverion got some extra attacks
in m+ its lashing katar lethal
of all the bosses i need to get a parse on its terragrue lmfao. i never try for good powers. best is a 91
or lashing wps lethal
that we dont have access to
Fatescribe ruins it because we always soak the adds on boost runs
so parses are bad by default :(
im kinda happy i got a 95 on fatescribe without going ct
I just use Lashing WPS Lethal if I care enough to change.
I honestly don't care enough to change most of the time
it's like 5-20 dps
which is super duper whatever in a m+ environment
where there are millions of variables
true
ceverion mythic logs when
katar definitely feels really good in aoe tho
Method will never public log, so, never :P
lol u got into method

damn gz
:)
ill never get to see and try to replicate 98% uptime on all bleeds, the perfect pooling
the stellar shiv on cd
they said the perfect log didnt exist
and it doesnt
because cev's logs are private
as opposed to outlaw
@limber lion full time streamer for method when ?
outlaw is braindead easy yes
Probably never ngl

Big prio is still viola/violin and university.
no guys i promise outlaw is hardest spec in game 
But I'll def try to stream some more in the future.
I get that

Hey guys very new Sin rogue here I’m new to rogue in general. Next week I’ll be able to craft a rank 6 lego. I currently have a rank 4 doom. But it looks like more people are leaning towards dashing/obedience atm. So I guess my question is should I go dashing, obedience or stick to doom? Thanks in advance!
i think we would recommend dashing for raid
Is that because of the frost shard build?
I would recommend Dashing probably as well. I have seen better results with Doomblade on some fights, but it's very minmaxy and you probably will never see the difference honestly.
It's really good and feels good to play to most people.
Oh okay if I could only have one for a few weeks how close is obedience to dashing? Obedience is the go to for M+?
the extra energy just feels better to play even if it's a super minor dps loss 😄
Haha I bet
with dashi g do u use crimson tempest in ST for bosses like fatescribe and soulrender?
its neutral actually
it does
so you can just not use it in st
envenom uptime is more important
What is st?
single target
Ah
CT is so annoying in ST
im progging soulrender with my guild and its actually so much fun with dashing
Does anyone know why the quick sim on raidbots wants to use mutilate over ambush out of stealth/vanish? Does the same when using both scoundrel and doomblade.
cuz mutilate gives 4 combo points when u crit
!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.
also why pot on pull and not when u press vendetta
because vendetta doesnt affect your pot
only stuff that comes directly from you
your abilities etc
and melee as well i think
Ah, that makes much more sense. Was extremely confused when looking at the breakdowns. Thanks!
How does dashing effect CT?
it just makes envenom more valuable
It doesn't, CT (or fok) just spreads poisons which give you dashing energy
But CT does build winds of winter
Yeah, you actually don't even want to use CT on single target when playing Dashing
sorry, i read the faq but don't know if i understand correctly. as a dashing legendary, with CT, do i just CT once for the dot then use envenom? even during mob packs?
Actually mad that 😂
you only ever CT for the dot
thank you. it appears i have been playing wrong then 😦 well least i know now. cheers
Our Arcane mage got a rank 1 parse last night on Nerzuul
BS/DS but everyone seems to play ep/vig
Cute.
ceverion what if I get a seal team to PI a rogue to steal your r1 before rankings set in
you will be back to 99!
that's not how parses work
it works like that for 100s
if you get a rank 1 once then your best will always be a 100
well if he already has the 100 set in
they set in like 8h
which i assume he does or he wouldn't have bragged about it
How are monks doing 25k on mythic soulrender
ook ook adds
bursting the small ads
Tarragrue damage with no powers lol
@limber lion why don’t method open log for mythic
Because of poaching reasons.
But yeah, I haven't done any real mythic kills with them yet either :P
Tomorrow is my first full raid. We'll see how it goes.
Oh that makes complete sense
Ah good luck g that’s huge
Cheers!
Also in pure st with dashing, using ct for the dot is neutral compared to always just using envenom, at least that is what other people on this discord said.
I don't think so.
Where did you hear this and when?
And by whom?
i heard that too actually
It might be true for Doomblade, or even a slight gain for Doomblade, but I don't think it is for Dashing.
Currently the apl ignores using CT in single target when using Dashing.,
I forgot who answered me, but if ct isn’t used in st with dashing, doesn’t that mean it’s neutral or even worse than using envenom only.
i cant get dashing 262 until next week

if ur wondering why so late its because i didnt do 2 weeks of torgy
good luck man 
cevvy gonna blaaaast
im trialing atm too
@limber lion if all goes well does that mean you’d be raiding with them next tier?
You're actually correct. Using CT is neutral or even a very slight gain.
Providing rogue was good too lol
I was just skeptical because I saw some people talk about CT in single target back in Castle Nathria and using their own advanced sims to come into their conclusions, which were back then incorrect.
But it looks like using CT in single target, even with Dashing Scoundrel, can be a gain.
I'll be raiding with them next tier, that's already confirmed.
Well, unless rogue is awful
And I don't get any gear.
Or there's another dumb rng borrowed power system
and I get mega unlucky.
It was yes, but for Dashing Scoundrel it was actually a loss.
ya
ye
hopefully just tier sets right? 
It's probably neutral/gain now because of frost.
mirror alts 🤮
but I'm playing a rogue or I'll be warming up the bench.
Those are the 2 choices for me.
i know
its the fun of prog
guild im trialing with
is first guild i've been in with a bench
xD
half my guild just did less than the tank on eye prog last night 🙂
Sounds like an alliance raid
nope
Ooof
i was 2k dps up on 2nd
and we cant meet dps check
for eyes
and everyone is around 240 ilvl
can u transfer characters to other peoples accounts?
i think you can actually
why don't they just do that in RWF
i know they used to just account share, which is much more prohibited now
but the account xfer on the shop says u can xfer to other accounts
you probably are only supposed to transfer to another acct u own
or like same blizz account
something like that
would be pointless wouldn't it
Why 😂
Transfering between accounts is for multiboxing, since the 2 accs have to be/are supposed to be your own
!guide
loot splits
That’s mad tho @limber lion , congrats again - fingers crossed rogue / assa is still big pumper come new raid
Thanks for clarifying
you're allowed to xfer to a completely different blizzard account
the website says nothing about it being your own
“The Character Transfer service allows you to move characters to other realms, different World of Warcraft accounts, or from one Battle.net account to another. To transfer a character to another Battle.net account, both accounts must be registered under the same account holder name. It is not possible to transfer a character to another person.” This is from Blizz website
It would just result in people selling 250ilvl characters, which would be so expensive that it results in a ton of rmt
One gets unlucky with gear/rng, there's still one more shot :)
Cheers, fingers crossed!
you mean biff is holding you at gun point

That realisation that you should probably play a different game. Trying to be competative and grow as a dps when you cant commit to mythic raiding and all the heroic loot gets councilled to mythic raiders even when you won the roll... why am i even logging in and trying to improve?
you don't need gear to imrpove lol
Last night heroic amp dropped and i won the roll and raid leads like "You win the roll but DH gets it cos hes mythic" this DH does trash dps btw...
Im seriously playing the wrong game.
i mena yeah i guess so
Or wrong guild? Maybe heroic raiding one instead?
ye should get into a heroic guild to improve not a mythic
they are just carrying you in farm content, you need to get somewhere that pushes you to improve
where are the looogs!
Carrying me?! Hahahaha... no dude. This mythic team has a bunch of duds in it
Im at a major dissadvantage gear wise and beat most of their dps
then why arent you in mythic then
very noob question, just played assa for a few days, do i hold flagellation for vendetta? using the obedience lego, read the faq but it still confuse me lol
what's a normal amount of stacks to be getting to as Venthyr sin? I feel like 24 is relatively consistent but higher requires good crit RNG
he already said he doesnt have time for mythic
oh well then there you go
I do shift work = cant commit to the nights 100%
Yeah, sounds about right. 23-29 during lust with all cds, 19-23 without other cds/lust.
Doesn't really matter too too much.
19 is usually the bare minimum though.
24 is no lust, but yes vendetta
what hurts is when flag gets parried
I mean
with lust maybe I could get another GCD in
No
pure pain
Rogue is gcd locked to 1s
alt-F4 when flag parries, sorry guys I DC'd can we pull again
If you can't commit to mythic then gear should go to the mythic proggers
I mean I might have the energy
and whether or not Muti crits.
maybe
fwiw the dh you're calling shit parsed better than you across the night and on the pull that the trinket dropped you ran out of the circle on guardian and killed yourself 1 minute in @idle star
look inwards champ there's always room to improve
Yeah big oof..
0 people play perfect 
How would you know?
You also have 9 heroic pieces so it's not like you're getting shafted on loot lol
except @limber lion
cev is an actual bot
Method using bots, reported
cev doing sim dps on every boss 

he presses buttons
at least some of it has to be kill time
surely you arent like my guild killing guardian in exactly 4 minutes 

im checking your tarragrue log i gotta see what powers i need to get 
huddled carvings potent acid gland and elethium weights
and
- Potent Acid Gland
- Elethium Weights
- Huddled Carvings
- Erratic Howl or Lumbering form or Tremorbeast Heart
the haste power?
damn
and then im seeing you took soul empowerments
from other people
gamer move
Elethium weights - Oh no I can’t jump…anyways
Your raid lets you take lumbering?
i mean for maximum pad you have people feeding you green beams and soul empowerements
Nope.

Lumbering is also less dps because you can't abuse the green soak thingies from your friends, probably end up knocking everyone back when you try to snipe the powerups from the floor and just end up killing your team during intermission.
Not worth
imagine not standing in the aoe during intermission
These were the powers I had on my best hc kill, but Obleron Winds should definitely be something else.
Erratic is pretty pogchamp.
||I always take the reduced aoe damage and fear immunity for the uptime||
i think on my best log i had same as you but the 90% damage reduction one instead of winds
i love uptime 
Whats potent acid gland do?
Big damage and a 25% damage increase during the dot.
random proc that gives the boss +25% damage taken
Thats friggin NUTS
Thats so cool, i knew the jumping one was pretty good but I’ve never gotten that before
Who knows.

You want to line as many vendetta casts with flag as possible without missing a cast. For example in a 3 min 30 fight you get 2 vendetta and 3 flag casts, so you would hold second vendetta until your third flag. With obedience you should basically be able to vendetta with every other flag cast, this can result in loosing a cast, if you get unlucky with the duration of a fight, but I haven’t played with obedience enough to get a good feeling for that and plan cd usage around it.
ty for info, it's just i notice with my current gear i can only net a total of 10 combo points during flag window, feels kinda stiff, since according to the tooltip of that lego, i only lower 10 sec of flag lol
i mean with every vendetta i can actually just flag, but well as u say i did end up losing a cast of flag to save for vendetta, which is kinda....well
and casting a 2nd flag when vendetta is on 45sec of cd feels kinda weird
wait i did flag before rupture, that makes it 15 i think :))
Getting only 10 cp during flag seems really weird, since you cast flag while at max-1, which means you only get one or two finishers after the initial one of during the 12 sec flag window, when assa only needs 2 gcds max to build cp for a finisher and 3 gcds max with deeper strat
i spec EP/vigor for smoother gameplay tho
so maybe im wrong , actually i have 15 cp total
ep vig is better for cleave
That isn’t a problem the vast majority of players runs ep vigor since it deals with uptime loss better and is especially better in aoe than bs ds
usually fien
but like, usually how many cp during flag window is enough for cd reduction
.
idk what "enough" means in this context
but sin struggles to get more than 25 regularly
hmmm
is that why you abandoned us for the stealthy boys? 
If i could trade rsnk 4 frost sin for rank 4 blood Sub i would... time gating be damned!

Flag should be around 1min 10 sec with obedience on assa sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit less
now you're shaming me for my mediocre parses

just do some testing my flag is around 1 min 15 , damn need to try harder
try harder for what
pushing mutilate harder won't give you more GCDs in the flag window my guy
just go with the flow
you get 20? great. You get 25? Fantastic
well i just messing around with rogue for a week so i dont know stuffs lol
if you get 15? You're probably me, and I suck
sub
at least for me, rogue looks like most fun melee spec, and i dont wanna main wheelchair casters anymore
sadge
you'll love rogue
just stick with it, the learning curve gets easier with more muscle memory
sin is also super forgiving
When you have 90% crit in the MA window and only get 3 cps from mutilate suring burst
boss damage gamin
getting the hangof it in single target
that's why I love the spec, it's just as disappointing as real life for me
🙂
aoe takes some getting used to
but sin aoe is super satisfying when you get it down pat
it's playing melee aff lock lol
oh shiet
that hurts right here in my meow meow
so like how many ruptures should i maintain tho, 4 or 5 targets
like do that right after i CT all stuffs?
that's what im figuring out dont know if im right or not
I open with 4 garrotes, CT then start ruptures using SBS for combo ramp
refreshing CT in pandemic
don't mind me, im just a necro
Serrated bone spike necro ability
was going for necro before but i found venthyr more fun
SBS is fun...
i just love the venthyr covenant overall bro
In my experience both are fun
couldnt play it in my lock for the sake of dps
Sbs feels so good as sin
Everything is fun since in the end it’s still rogue and not some wheelchair caster
Rogue 
upgrade my phial to 246 or wait to see whats in my vault... hmm
Wait
If you upgrade its in the vault, if you dont upgrade it wont be pretty simple
does anyone have this ring 246
just wanna sim it but i can't modify it on my top gear

just add ilevel=246 to the line
go to droptimizer and choose a socketed entwined from SD ? or do what whispyr said
finger2=",id=178848,enchant_id=6164,gem_id=173127,bonus_id=7359/6652/7620/1560/6646/7576"
yeh 246 droptimizer would also work
got mythic rem helm :))) finally using all the dps shards now :))
soulrender prog for hour 20
hello boys, just coming back from a break to the game, is Doomblade a good choice to make it rank 6 as necrolord?
Just play BM. Requires 1/5 the effort

yep
just now getting into assa and the first thing in FAQ is about pooling, trying to see if I understand correctly, I don't envenom unless Im 30 energy from max?
so just aa?
Pooling before shiv and on every other vendetta use? Idk
Fatescribe heroic helm >>>>
Big krit
I mean you can get 99 parses without pooling every envenom it's fairly minor minmax
Dw, about it too much, just try to save some energy for shiv and flagellation windows
"you're here to kill adds"
why would it be crazy? CT isnt far behind on st either and on slyvanas you have plenty of adds.
yeah i don't feel last row is highly impactful tbh
Found a non scoundrel player
ep ma vig ct
Or actually it's just someone who cba changing talents after KT
seems pretty normal
Tbh
I almost did guardian with CT cause I had it from soulrender through painsmith lol
Last row is decent impact for dashing scoundrel since poison bomb gives energy
CT is like 2.5% dps loss for me
If you do run CT on a ST fight, for whatever reason, should you strive for 100% uptime?
Nah
Just whenever you need to run out, etc.?
Depends on what legendary you play with
If raiding, likely doom or dashing, I guess
If doomblade, I'm assuming, you cast it before shiv for extra envenom dmg
On dashing it's not worth to cast pure single target unless you are gonna have boss downtime
doomblade you maintain it outside of shiv, dashing you don't cast single target
Personally after testing on denathrius p3 prog with doomvlade I found a lot lower ST dmg maintaining the dot at all times vs just before shiv, not sure if that condition has been tested in simc
it has been
Might depend on haste levels too
But yeah it's worth casting on St with doomblade/Zoldyck (in execute)
hard to net 20 cps during flag windows 😦
it's like when i finish my rotation i look at vendetta with only 49 sec left and wonder should i press flag or save for next vendetta lol
u save if you won't lose a cast
he was a buyer 
Use a time to kill weakara to help with the decision, if the boss will die before another use don't use
I also look at our last kills kill time to estimate when to hold my last casts
we are not progging soul tonight cause our dk who was supposed to come in wasnt here
heroic clear and pray for sylv dagger in vault
This happened to us and we made our blood dk go necrolord lol
are you building to 4-5 before hitting flag
i think so
isn't blood with the legendary enough?
I thought it was either 2 necros or 1 blood with the leggo
probably, it's like a habit for me
Idk about their legendary
there's a grip legendary
bdks use it on that fight
you can infinitely grip for like 3 seconds
or something
so should i build 4 5 before hitting flag or just right after i press SnD?
you should always build
assa will not get high stacks
you get some more with the conduit
so in reality you only finish with 15 cp or so
using lashing scars?
i do use lashing scars
thats low
well i only start playing rogue for 3 days 😦
your gear is probably not very good then, if you have a log of something maybe we can help a little more
probably as im only 222 now haha
yeah CRIT helps a lot for flag stacks
20-22 stacks basically is what you are getting, you can get more with good gear (more crit)
but thats ok
im playing with 40% Crit and i get 22/25 stacks all the time
yes probably ill get there with better gear
if you're gettin 20-25 stacks
because so far i ve been doing the rotation with what icy veins and wow head told me to do lol
what do you use as your indicator to start pooling for Shiv?
like hwo much time left
on CD
depends on what else I need to do
didnt really notice
but i do fill garrote before pooling with shiv?
just melee mutilate til the energy feels right i think
listen to what my ancestors told lol
yeh
you can do that I guess
it's no different from a 4cp rupture into a garrote
so I guess would be a timing thing
are u telling me the many number of hours i spent in korthia to get lashing scars to 252 was a waste of time !?
😉
Only if you don’t brag about it
True
Cuz 252 lashing twins 
Imagine not being a sudden fracture gamer 
Imagine being a boner in summer of 2021

About to get some serious stonks next week with my empowered lashing
Oh yeha 13dps more 
is torghast hard as assasin? doing my first run on this char. was thionking a 12 run. at 220 gear. is that gonna be hard?
at 220 yes
it will be hell
with leeching poison and frost set bonus you can do some serious pulls in torghast 12
but holy shit do those mobs fuck you over
thats the way, get your ass carried 🙂
no it sucks balls as sin so find a group
Ye the problem isn’t output
You just can’t take a hit
but in a group the tank worries about that for you
I play necro assa and I have a question regardind sbs
When you raid single target and there is no mobs spawnings for a while, is it worth to use sbs when avaible because it cost less energy and does more damage than mut?
I usually throw sbs when im starving energy for mut
Is it wrong done?
sbs in opener, and then you do 2x sbs casts during gemstone windows
Marrowed Gemstones is a trait from Heirmir soulbind
every minute you get a small buff of 18% crit for a few seconds and you should have 2 x sbs charges for that as they need 30 seconds to recharge
Ah I see, didnt think about it all, thanks
it's better written in #assassination-faq
Mb
Is there some planned changes in domination shards ?
what souldbind is best as venthyr at renown 50 =)?
No
Whatever sims higher, probably nadjia i would think
ok 🙂
What is our best scaling conduit? Basicly should i put wps or lashing at first socket. I have 252 wps and 226 lashing
Ty
Ive read the assa-faq, was questioning myself about shiv. I know we should use it on cd, but should we pool just a quick second for it? Also shouldnt we hold the previous vendetta one not to miss the window?
there should be something in the faq about how we pool for envenom, which means usually when shiv comes up you should have some energy
and about vendetta idk if thats in there but you can hold shiv for 10ish seconds
!guides
i think the holding shiv thing might be in those
does dashing increase crit chance of envenom?
RH:
"You aim to use Shiv on cool down as it is already a very short cool down. You want to avoid applying bleeds during Shiv and instead cast as many high combo point envenoms as possible. It is also fine to cast Shiv while you are already at maximum combo points. Lastly, you might want to hold on to some combo points and energy prior to Shiv cooling off to increase the amount of Mutilates and Envenoms you are able to cast."
Wowhead
"Use Shiv on cooldown for the damage debuff. If you are close to a new Vendetta window you can hold it for that though."
IV:
"Try to refresh Rupture and Slice and Dice before using Shiv. The goal is to get three, 4-5 Combo Point Envenoms inside the 9-second duration of Shiv."
+
Pooling "before the cooldown on Shiv recharges, to allow for immediate use and optimized burst"
So RH: max cp/pool, refresh bleeds before, not talking about vendetta
Wowhead: on cd, hold for vendetta, not talking about bleeds or pooling or cp
IV: pool, max to max-1 cp before, not talking about vendetta
RHdiscord: cast on cd regarless of evenom window, not talking about vendetta
Anyone knows precisely?
Follow discord rule

that's nice
none of them are different from each other
use on cd, try to pool before, refresh bleeds outside of shiv (but dont let them drop)
its like
- use on cd
- pool before
- try to not have to refresh bleeds during its duration
those arent mutually exclusive. you can do all 3, if you play things optimally. if you dont, then thats the "priority" list so to say
Sorry for the big text but often i was questioning my self, if should i hold 3sec shiv to refresh bleeds.
Im really trying to minmax.
Also for vendetta. Does it change anything if the shiv is up on the 8 last second of vendetta paired with flag instead of up on start of debuff.
Would make me use shiv if vendetta is up in 13sec or more, to get the 8sec at the end of the debuff. (25sec shiv cd-(20sec vendetta-8sec up time shiv) =13sec before vendetta is up)
Ofc never on pull, talking about when you get back vendetta n°X
You dont hold Shiv, you use it on cooldown
Shiv has a 25sec cooldown. A 5 CP rupture lasts for 24seconds. So for example if you refresh Rupture once before Shiv, it will always line up in the same way again, that you can refresh it again before the next Shiv
Assa has a lot of these situations that when condensed into a prio-list seem like theres a lot of things to check off before you use Shiv, but when you actually play it, it often falls into place naturally
And ultimately its a very minor DPS difference whether you hold it once or keep using it on CD. Keep in mind its only 25sec CD, so if you have it 15sec before Vendetta, just use it, cause itll be back up again during Vendetta
Shiv is not a major DPS CD
Its a minor increase to abilities that ultimately make up ~25% of your damage.
I recommend just playing the rotation a bit, trying to remember the most important priorities like not letting bleeds drop, using Vendetta on CD as much as you can, and once you familiarized yourself with it a bit more a lot of the questions will already be answered
Im doing good parse but i wanna consistantly 95+
248
Y next week r5
Then you shouldnt struggle at all with hitting those numbers, unless youre assigned to mechanics that will cost you a lot of DPS, or your uptimes are bad. But losing a Shiv or two isn't gonna be the difference between a 99 and a 93
Killtimers matter a lot as well
Ideally youd refresh Rupture before each Shiv (while still using it on CD), refresh Garrote after a 3 or 4 CP mutilate to still only need 2 GCDs per Envenom to build CP, and have enough energy to be able to get in 3 Envenoms into each Shiv
If you only get 2, thats fine, especially when playing Deeper
Thats basicly what i do, or at least what im trying to do i wanted confirmation
Thanks Seliathan
should I hold shiv for flag? or hold flag for next shiv? or just use on CD with pooling some energy and cp for both?
You only hold flag for vendetta
You dont
hey guys, we startet progress on sylv M yesterday. Is there a way to influence the way she leaps away while she spawns the chains? we had her at the outer edge sometimes, and ive never seen that before in kill videos and the RWF
You only hold flag for vendetta if you wont get another cast iirc
You also sometimes hold vendetta for flag, if it gives another synced cast without missing one

BS + DS vs EP + Vig on Painsmith mythic? Not like i'm touching those shitty adds after the transition (besides one or two FoKs until painsmith is active - Using dashing + frost r4 atm
22 aug frost set lvl4 vent
4 aug anholy set lvl4 necr
i hate frost random
Track it
@hybrid cosmos she targets a random player and jumps backwards-ish
you can influence it a bit but not guarantee a spot since she does some random side hops too
most of the time you can get her to go between the arrow spawns since they are static
Do you guys know what is the range of Winds of Winter?
U know ur aug 3 parse is worst then your aug 23 parse though
It’s just other people did more damage this week
And your damage didn’t increase by the same amount
Frost is way more predictable than unholy
Unholy procs are the random ones lol
But yeah that parse is less dps
Just ranked higher because less people at that time had done the fight at higher dps
Does haste get more value for m+?
Ive gone heavy crit for raid and feel like my overall after dungeons is lower
No
Guess its operator error.
but you will definetly feel the difference between 20% and 40% crit in m+
Got AotC last night, thanks to this channel for all the tips that made me top boss damage boi
Epic
good stuff keep it up!
glad I could help 
Been reading the FAQ here and looking at Warcraft logs. Do sin rogues go venthyr or necrolord?
You can pretty much go for anything except night fae
most people who raid a lot prefer venthyr
And many of us still play necro because they like SBS or need it in dungeons
I even swapped to kyrian for my M+ teams, and it's pretty fun everywhere ngl
do any of you guys have a weakaura that tracks the amount of damage my frost set stores? i've only found the one which shows how much dmg the latest proc did
Icic ok thanks. So if I were to go venthyr, first leggo to make is obedience?
yeah obe is a good jack of all trades legendary
it's solid enough for assa in m+ and raid, and bis for sub
Nice thanks. Besides Obe, next choice will be Doomblade?
for raiding you'd want to make Dashing
What do you guys do in phase 2 on sylvanas? Just garrote, rupture it all? while you mut/fok and envenom? i feel like things just melt, so i do almost nothing in this phase
Just burn Sylv at the 2 opportunities. Other classes will melt the packs
ok
Apart from st the summoner adds
hey guys i have a question about EP talent. do you just ignore the talent and let go off as it goes ? or do you try to cast envenoms within the 4 sec time to get 10% damage increase
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
you just let it do its thing
so just ignore it ? ok thx
Heya all, can someone explain me why Winds of Winter is better than Chaos Bane for Assassination. I don't get it, shouldn't the agility provided be better?
frost does more damage
its probably a combination of lots of dots and attack speed
we crit a lot
@plain thistle Ok, thanks mate
Anyone have an issue where the frost set doesn't kick in (start gaining stacks) until 20s into the fight?
Yeah every poison and bleed crit counts toward the frost set
so it stacks up pretty quick
I track it with a weak aura and you get that up to 30k+ during your opener. But sometimes it won't start stacking until later into the fight ~20s
its the same with heimir gemstone, we proc that shit really really fast, its not like that for every class
Like it's on some separate static timer or something
Is it possible to sim frost set, without having the frost dom set piece? Like can you manually add it into raidbots to test it
Gear compare
80k 

That's if it crits though right.
top gear
you can select the gems there
probably gear compare, add the piece , copy the line and top gear
You can also manually add it through the line yeah -
that way you have the gear piece and you can add the gems
Bc the frost dmg proc can also crit which is what's making it pop off. But only if it starts stacking with your opener, and it was not doing that for me every time.
Jhon knocked or out of the park as always
Yeah, I'll manually insert it thx
Would you guys say Desolate Frost is better than Forebonding Unholy? I made the mistake of ranking up all my unholy shards as soon as I got them
sim it
wait, gear compare doesnt add the button to copy? then you will need to open the HTML report open the "profile" tab and find the piece of gear you want
For me it was not, higher or same rank for frost was necessary to be more dps
Ended up being my case. About 200 dps lost for a lower rank
Anyone else having Main Mangle sim higher than WPS?
are you necro?
Venth
Yeah doomblade
Then yeah makes sense
more mutilate damage = bigger doomie dot
Not happy w my parses in sod.. I've always been necro. Is venth a substantial dps gain? I dig necro but like 90% of assas are venth in raids
You can throw nadjia in your sim and check it out,
warcraftlogs has about 28.6% of rogues using necro in mythic logs, vs 65% for Nadjia, so it has its place, but I think Nadjia is the min max choice
It’s about 200-250dps difference for me as necro if i swapped back to venth.
my greatest achievement with sin so far, vulpera racial ftw
2k hps, you throwing down the gauntlet on us?!
Anyone know off the top of their head the dps needed for H Guardian?
It’s low low
depends on amount of hits raid take before luring big woman to circle, we took like 2 hits and ~8k was enough
Like 6k iirc. Possibly even lower
its much lower than that, only me and one other dps were over 8k dps and we killed it
folks between 5.3k and 6k
Hey! Any idea what happend to my WA why it doesnt show rest of the time for snd and shiv but it works for garrot and rapture?
looks like its using the clock method
https://wago.io/HJe5_pfNm im using this one
its a setting in wa to display the text vs show the cooldown as a darker area swinging around in a circle
it works for me previously but now idk
you could re-import it from luxthos and see if it fixes it
unless you have been doing a lot of customization
i tried this
and it doesnt work
:/
i just simply delited this and imported again but still
look like shiv doesnt have text now lol
so.. click the button that says add text?
if you had countdowns before and didn't randomly it's probably because you either had the ingame cooldown text on or were using an addon like omnicc or something
it should have a section called Text 1
just do what Nameless suggested, Add Text button at the bottom of Shiv but look at rupture to copy the font and sizes
see what rupture is using for those settings
hey guys - stupid question in which the answer is probably "get gud" . Your simmed dps, is there a rough "all things aligned, on an average fight you'll get with X dps of it" people have in their head?
I've run several sims (patchwork.cleave etc) but even on a training dummy im lucky to get within 1-1.5k of it. I've watched people, reviewed my logs (probably not correctly) & practiced my rotation - but at this point I'm at the conclusion that i just cannot rogue to save my life.
Wait are you doing sim patchwerk or training dummy?
Because patchwerk implied all the buffs, while training dummy is raw dps, no buffs
I think that it's almost impossible to reach the full potential that sims are showing.
Just be ceverion fiveheads
I meant comparing the simmed dps against me smashing a training dummy. Tbf I hadn't considered the full buff side of it but would it really make up for that much gap?
That said if I compare my raid logged dps to the sim, it reflects a similar story so I guess I'm missing a decent sized trick somewhere
Ah ok no I've not actually ever tried that one. Patchwork, cleave, light movement and the add ones are the ones I usually use to get a rough across the board idea.
Yeah so by comparing random things vs target dummy dps you won’t see an equal but there’s actually a 1 to 1 comparison available
And you can use that to see if you’re right on rotation but just see flubbing in play
Also be sure to check off set bonus
Otherwise you’ll still be off 😛
Valid points, Solid school boy error on my part! Will give that look now.
For example, target dummy:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9x9dTKwoCmer2PZ4ATo4uP
And yeah, talents are off 😛
That’s also set bonus off for dummy, on for raid.
So an additional 800 or so
You also have to think about buffs you have for accurate raid dps. Do you have a wind fury totem? If not, check it off
Etc.
That I at least remembered to take off each time as I don't have the damn thing yet still :(
tbh everyone sims with wf on
but yeah remember to take it into account when looking at your dps
Gz. If you have any more questions just ask away; no worries king 
Thank you, will do!
Are you guys running CT for any bosses in SoD?
OK.. I'm spot on for training dummy dps. Which means I'm flubbing my rotation in raids. Lovely. Well not lovely but means I'm not AS crap as I thought I was rofl. Cheers again!
soulrender
and not even for the add damage, mostly because the dude's running around like Usain Bolt the entire time
Will update list when I get out of painsmith hell
I tried CT on soulrender and felt it didn't make a difference, but we only progged for an hourish so
Because he’s constantly moving, it’s hard to get the value out of PB
That's the reason why I wrote "almost". Once in BFA I had like ~1-2k difference between real DPS and the sims. Felt awesome 😄
it's a small difference for sure @slow marsh
CT Is 100% the play for soul render
Huge gamer 
it's just that boss randomly moving around is pepega af for PB
Huge
still blue parsed 
True gamers outdo their sims on Painsmith /s
Literally so ez
Painsmith parsing 
we've had the answer in front of us for years
I definitely got a r1 parse on getting clipped by thinking I can cheat corners on painsmith
most ape-brained deaths for sure
Are we talking remnant?? Does that mean I get to complain again about how I 97ed but they pulled with vendetta and vanish 40 seconds from being up, and only got one pot off?
And now I'm on bench for a new guild until sylv dies and they're taking a break the week after so I need three weeks to fix it? :(
yes
bench gamers 
why these world 500-1000 guilds putting y’all on the bench n y’all staying?
I joined them mid sylv prog, no point for them to change roster at that point.
Any guild on mythic sylv right now is not a world 500-1000 guild lol
Why join the guild then knowing you wouldn't get in?
cuz you’ll raid in farm 
Cause going from 230 pulls on painsmith prog to a guild on sylv prog is worth it?
Bench isn't worth it
And if I'm good I will earn my spot for next tier in a us top 50 guild?
Sounds short sighted.
Jumping from us 300 to us 50 is worth two weeks of bench time.
Fine, world 1k to world 140
Same point.
Also since the last guild had 250+ pulls on painsmith, chances are they were only going to get worse as the tier went on.
250 pulls is 100 more than the average.
Bad sign for the guilds ability to handle mechanics.
Skipping progress to join a guild to farm is weak
And being far and away the best player in a bad guild and staying out of "loyalty" that they aren't reciprocating by refusing to bench+replace bad players is even weaker. :)
I also find farm more fun than prog.
All I gotta do is not fail trial and I'll be in a more fun environment for the raid tiers to come.

Farm more fun than prog, this guys built diff
You will get bench next tier cauz they never saw you in prog environnement
No lol. Rosters are always fluid for the first bosses and on heroic+PTR.
Unless you're top 5
Heroic and ptr aren't progress
Heroic week absolutely informs roster decisions before mythic week.
Every time I see someone describe themselves as the best player in their guild I am almost certain they are not the best player in their guild
If you was a lead or gm did you take ppl you progress with them for 2 tier and you know there capacities or a new guy who just never do more than top 1k? And you know nothing about is comprehension of the fight /game/mechanic/learning
i see we have a guild ditcher
Within 5 hours of putting lfg on my wowprog I had four top 50 guilds reach out and all four offered trials. My last guild was basically world 1k and I was only there because I didn't rogue in 9.0 because class was dead.
This guy is a navy seal
You take whoever is playing the best at the moment. You sound very uninformed and idealistic.
There's a reason that rosters change between tiers
You are implying every decent raid roster hasnt changed anyone between tiers unless others have quit. Which is laughable.
Y ppl stop play
With over 4 confirmed “top 50 guilds” asking him to apply
BTW guild actually they almost all need ppl to apply due to ppl stop playing
So you're upset with me for jumping higher on the ladder and you also think I'm lying about jumping higher on the ladder. Yikes.
Pick one and stick with it
I pick nothing is cool for you
I’m not upset with you and I don’t care if you are lying or telling the truth
Just don't think trial is done cauz you will raid on farm
Your trial will start next tier
I wouldn’t put you in my guild based on your attitude
guilds that reach out to you is usually bad news imo
And guilds are farming trialists at the moment due to player drop off before the next tier
He wants player that can admit they can improve
So you probably just got picked up by an algorithm rather than someone salivating over your logs
I like buts
They are bad? I never say that
american guilds really gotta be fiendin for any gamer they can find if 5 top 50 guilds contacted you in 5h
Me too
I don't know you you can be good but actually you aren't that good
Oh I meant butts
Top 50 guild want player mentality
I would rather a player who knew they were bad than one who was bad but thought they were good
Those too 😉
You have already said top guilds change rosters exclusively in the case of players quitting which is maybe the most laughably stupid thing I've read in weeks.
LOL WHAT
Heroic raiders?
Exclusively I said that? Ok
I think you have an attitude problem
"I want bad players who know they're bad"
Any u.s. guilds want me to apply? I parsed a 99 on terragrue I'm really good
Not what he said
I said I would rather have bad players who know they’re bad than bad players who think they’re good
It's been effectively his arguments the whole time.
No
Dudes got big socially awkward weeb energy
Player who know they have problem are on the good way to resolve that player who think they are to good will change nothing
But bro I’m the best ever
Thinking you're too good for a us 1k guild where players are 0% passing is different than thinking you can't improve. You're making assumptions because you have no clue what's going on.
time to link logs
What is happening
Idk
It's okay, the body pillow will hug you tight.
Lmao
Nope dont go that road

Or I’m getting koffing
You’re making just as many assumptions and refusing to properly read peoples criticisms
No.
True
wym, the only way to settle arguments on WoW is link 🪵
It’s the only way to get muted
There is a discord full of people telling you you have an attitude problem and you have yet to acknowledge that maybe they are right
Oof I know some people who need to be muted then
Nah. There's two being socially awkward as fuck.
Okay pussy slayer
He is prolly just mega happy to climb in world rank he can be happy its fine tho
Also, that you can parse doesn’t mean you can make a proper argument in a discussion
Gonna be hard to go to all those parties when you’re benched in your US top 50 guild
You can parses and don't play mechanic in progress
Or you can play mechanic don't parses but your guild kill the boss o0
Might want to get the CF's first before disturbing the blades.

Tell me, mister uwutangclan, at parties do you mention your guild rank?
Usually I only see Koffing swoop in to shut people the fuck up
It's funny how hard you're trying to be offended. Would bet money aotc raider.
So I can't be bothered to read everything you've said thus far
Any loremasters in the chat?
Yes I’m very offended
@limber lion i've got a litle question , you advise me to go subterfuge and Zoldyck on MM+ , although i sim way higer on DS with Obe and MA Oo
Ofc
Two "never leave your guild they are your loyalty stay there only, how dare you betray" raiders
I’ve never even killed a heroic boss in my life I just do LFR
You can't really sim accurately for m+ honestly. Just go subt with zoldyck everytime.
Subt zoldycks? Not finality??? When did this change?
So? Tl;Dr of the argument?
If you prefer play with you loyalti friend just do it
Ok , thanks ^^
oof
Kek
stay strong Cev 
not gonna lie that was cringggge
Idk shit about keys, I half afk four 15s a week as sin. Let's are bad content.
Keys*
Guy says he’s skipping his pain smith progress guild cause they benched him, he applied to a much higher progressed guild to sit on the bench until farm.
I don't see problème about that pzrsonnaly
So you didn't even read properly??? I was never painsmith benched lol
No clue, someone has an attitude problem but he seems to be in denial
Tbf I don't think he was benched in original guild
You should figure out reading before talking.
I'm juste saying don't think you will make your trial on farming
They think you have to stay put forever and guilds never change rosters and if you leave you are a flawed human who should be put down.
Nothing really I made an off hand comment about skipping progress being weak
^
I jumped from wr800 to wr28 to wr8 to wr5
Except you were benched for painsmith o.O
it's chill
Did we say that?
No.
it's to be expected if you want to tryhard the game
I was benched on one night of painsmith after I apped out and the guild found out.
@strange python
So just joking around then which turned into a full blown argument then?
Pretty much
They doubled down on "never leave your guild you must be loyal you're a bad human"
El Classico
the right thing to do is leave after painsmith dies or thr guild dies, but thats just my opinion 😋
Amazing
Well, it’s one guy shouting about how we’re all socially awkward weebs
Just two of you.
Not really a full blown argument
I feel personally attacked by this statement 
Well, whether or not someone is fully commited to a guild or not
Fact is that it's very, very normal for someone to jump guilds
even during progression
8 never say you was bad human for doing this
you literally just brought up a week old argument, you have grey parses in raid as outlaw, it was bullshit you telling us you "could play outlaw" 
stop pinging me
A lot of people prefer pushing the entire tier before jumping guilds, but it's very normal to do so even during prog.
Lol
Like I could care less about guild swapping but the cap has to stop
I juste say don't think you ez trial on farm time and not in progress time
this seems like one of those really in depth conversations taht we could use threads for
Yep. Was the excuse they gave pre raid. After they copped they saw me apping out.
