nah lashing is busted baseline
ahhhh
Lashing is good because it’s strong base
is it weird that haste is winning over crit at only 40% crit with a rank 4 frost set?
im necro though, so that might be why
yeah necro can kinda make things funky
Which soulbind are you guys running as venthyr? Primarily asking to sim the difference from my current necro build
nadjia
Thanks
same for me necro as well.. guess higher crit cap is venth only
Kreygasm
shiet
Yeah its the wet dream of vaults, but it's also the nightmare of vaults when 5 items are an upgrade
“Hey I heard you missed out on the vault in the other weeks so here is everything you want, but choose one, enjoy” - Blizzard
just give me the fucking edge.... still rocking 226 offhand
Simming now, think the 246 edge is best upgrade, but it might be the 252 thorn
most garbage vault so far
run hc sylv rq
yeah i wouldnt take the sylv dagger til you clear heroic this week
Ye doing her tonight, might holdout until then
never too much crit 
on frost set maybe
probably just some haste so you can do boss dam
sim probably just likes boss damage
You have so much vers on your gear
raid gear has vers
what you gonna do
¯_(ツ)_/¯
all the big crit items are crit vers
giga ring for sub tho
True, will take it
My vault offered me 2 x 252 chest peices after i got my 246 dom socket chest the week before in vault
cool and fun system
Does crit gain more value as Venthyr? Im currently simming 9938 as Necro (with doomblade winning over dashing=, and simming 9982 with venthyr (with dashing winning over doomblade), granted, im only on 40% crit at the moment
currently 40% crit, 19% haste
I guess I just assumed, that dashing would win out, as I just got R4 frost today
not very concrete, but venthyr valued crit a bit more than necro in 9.1.5
so id imagine that haste is less value on venthyr which makes crit more valuable
252 vers/mast with socket bracers 😬
ouch
jfc ilvl really is just king, i cant get 246 crit/haste shoulders to sim better than 252 vers/mastery ones
Yeah, thankfully my previous bracers were only 233 haste/vers so it was still a nice little upgrade, could gem haste to offset the loss
whispyr was telling me an hour ago that WPS is better for most people
but conduits are still conduits and its probably a difference a few dps
Dashing isn’t really worth crafting as Necrolord when compared to already having Doomblade
It barely pulls ahead .2%-.4% at 255 ilvl
Dont do me dirty like that i just made dashing and got frost r4
How bout kyrian?
theyre basically equal, but still ends up simming better
wouldnt worry to much if you crafted dashing
I just got a big neck with crit coming very good with my frost/dashing build but my haste is now 19%
is that a bit low or is it fine?
Yeah i guess, i got used to big haste
i would be upset about low haste, but i really enjoy 70k winds crits 
yeah cant wait to try em on my next raid
Just gotta farm all crit haste gear
Or whatever sim says is best
But yeah dashing/doomblade on necro can equal out
Just for a lot of people doomblade sims better
I’ve yet to notice anything that high lol
I notice a lot of 20-30k
But I just upgraded to rank 5 after raid earlier
Max I've hit is 30k I believe
Wowzers
Does using dashing actually met you more procs?
Because I don’t usually get that much overall from frost
well dashing increases the crit chance on envenom and poisons
On 5-8 minute progression pulls I barely get 300k
so yeah its certainly grabbing a few more instances of damage to pool from
what do we get per week? 50?
And sub rogue in my raid gets 350k+ from blood
What Lego would you recommend for m+
Depends on what difficulty u raid
30 from heroic bosses, 6(?) from trash, ~5 from mythic bosses I guess?
If u full clear heroic weekly it’s around 40 embers a week
10 more from full mythic clear
1 per boss per difficulty level
10/10M ain't happening here 
Yea me either
we're clearing 9/10 mythic for sure this week
Banned
Ye, i was holding back on crafting it till I actually simmed higher with it - guess I can spend the dust on something else kek

but im still about 70 away from rank 5 next week
so im going to be within 10-15 short T.T
you also get 10 embers from shaping fate iirc
Obedience is back to simming the same as dashing for me
yeah thats included
so I'm happy with that, obedience feels good
Fight timings can cuck obedience
If u kill any bosses in 3-4 minutes your sim is 5 minutes = different results
Hey guys I just got [Soul Cage Fragment] trinket. Looks good, but is it ?
No
its a quick answer LOL
no scenario where thats the play
Whispyr been lurkin
I lurk a lot
Just to make sure things aren’t going too far into crazy town
lurks thinking "god dammit what are these idiots arguing about now"
Only sometimes 
one of these days ill be able to convince someone to use int pots again without getting hassled by you pesky green names
cage fragment is only decent for m+
I raid once a week because i have a family. Im not upset about that either because this xpack is becoming boring af and blizz are in deep shite
and even then its low ilvl
Literally inting
well in uldir rogue sims were fucked up and kept telling people to use them
and i kept telling them sims were right
You don’t have eternal intellect on your bracers?
O.o
no str on hands
me running decanter of anima-charged winds and flayedwing toxin 
strong gloves hit hard
I’m running decanter and 252 ocular gland
Hunter in my guild complained about no mage buff killing his wild spirit damage, since it’s magic damage


Fkin idiot
LOL
i was just trying to bait whispyr @hollow river i have phial and shadowgrasp
lmao
Wow
Im ok with this expac im still new to wow, but i dont give a damn whats going on with blizzard
Ur mean
lmao
Is this the same guild you raided with in CN or new guild?
if you're having fun it's good then
I’m mean to be funny cause if I don’t laugh I’d cry
Yeah i dont tend to look at the drama going on
New
Same
I was calling agreon mean not u
Oh

I just play the game and that’s all
Nerd
😈
Imagine only playing the game

Painge
Oof
I thought simulations was the main game and wow was just like a mini-game?
make big number go bigger is the game
Sims will teach you about life
ive been nonstop simming for 3 hours with 0 results besides a +2 difference
With how many things I sim, you’d start to think so
oh yeah i forgot
Hey I lurk your sim streams more than when you stream gameplay so that probably makes sense :p
my crit isnt dog water anymore
I’ve been having to sim for all 3 specs for raid and m+
i got like 3 items from raiding today
And it’s too much
You and everyone else
my sim viewership is about 7-10x times higher than my raid viewership
But I like being able to@play whichever spec I feel like this tier
i can degen 51% crit but then im at 4% haste 
But does it sim higher
the real question 
Unlucky
just get phial 4Head
One of my friends had phial drop two runs in a row
For him
Not like in the group
He actually just looted 2 in a row
I feel like some people are getting mondo gear this tier
My rng isn’t the best
Still no dom chest
i got like nothing for 2 weeks but this week i made out like a damn bandit
Last week I got H edge of night and 252 outlaw wep
@granite horizon
I see you
its -113 dps if i go full 51% crit 

U can farm hands
once i get t6
i have INSANE gear, i just dont have edge of night at any ilvl
wont be a problem
249.5 ilvl but no edge of night makes me cry
now, yeah
nah thats reasonable you can get that in a week if you play your cards right
One day I’ll be in a guild that clears CE first month or two
still no 252 weapon 
One day...
i would have double 252 weapons actually
took something else this week tho
rather have heroic edge anyday
obviously
stuck with 246/233 
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uT4Y2UHdKZFM5NEpeXwEqy i dont get it why dashing sims lower again then doom...
cuz ur necro
does for me as well as necro, not that I complain
check the pins
yeah saw it right now mb
I would go wrist because you pretty much won't change them and heroic chest can drop, you dont need the dom socket too much anyway
but wrists drop from 1st mythic boss
doing it every week
and they are same stats
oh right, I had wrists for so long I didnt realize
then I guess chest because of the sim
I'd personally go wrists because they're bis and you won't change them even in mythic raid(and they have a socket). The chest will drop some day that's for sure though
So is the sylvanas dagger better than what my sims say, like are my stats just dogshit for it? I tried doing a droptimizer for heroic and it's only 87 dps increase but all the daggers from 15 vaults at 252 is between 126-130 dps increase
ohh the wrists have socket, then yeah probably I agree with eazye
Yo, these are some sims between taking 252 SGT / 252 Wep (for the SGT gear compare, i am using a wep that i can upgrade to 246)
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5M31KmAe1pqDfHTLHF9mBN
I guess that makes sense? to run Phial + SGT? Will still put me on 41-42% crit with the upgraded items
ah stupid me i forgot they have socket 😄 ok thx
You will also replace that chest if you get sylv
I forgot... is there BIS time to use it?
or is that only in m+
i guess in raids we just use it whenever its up?
yup
@dawn ivy post ur 51% crit setup
Wanna know where is "crit at all cost" gear approach stops.
Until your sim says otherwise?
how do u sim enhanced conduit slots?
oh wow for the first time ever ep+vig outsims bs/ds for me on single target
So I don;t have to feel bad for playing it on Guardian
can you link sim?
No clue how that happened
Tonight I will have rank 4 frost tho, might switch stuff around again? idk
Oh glad I’m not the only r3 gamer still
yeah guess what dumbass invested in unholy right away
You and me both? 
Doomblade simming higher than dashing with 42% crit :/
Are you necro or venth?
must be necro
Venth!
4? I think
Foreboding?
Yeah
Post the sim
Yeah but then you get the big sad because you have to play bs ds
Just re-running to check some stuff
bigtrue
Plus hes frost venth
is it just a sim thing i have lvl 3 frost shard and my level 1 unholy shards sim higher
Whats WF?
Wind fury?
I always get lost when people use these abbreviations since i dont know em
My guild doesn't use windfury so i sim without it
any tips for padding in heroic sylv? ive tried everything the best i could do is 98
looking at the sims above my DPS seems pretty low considering I am 6 ilvl above, what gives https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/85xDVJoVDPr5dptiwdbS8e
Is kevin bug making marileth best now?
1 spike gives 20sec kevin buff instead of 10 assuming it broke when they fixed necro for sp
Actually having an enh shaman in raid 
Shard ranks? Covenant?
Magic, voodoo
Idk
does edge of the night still works for 1 rogue per raid ?
Hello. When frost set explodes and does dmg, does it have a set range?

what.
No, it was literally fixed before the dagger was introduced in the live game
It was bugged in the ptr
which is the place
where you test out bugs
and get rid of them
and they did that
I was afraid of those, occult sucks
Sometimes I don’t get it either. Got better weapons, better trinkets, higher ilvl, superior covenant and still ppl outsim?
hello im actually wearing 2 korthia dagger 220 ilvl and i have in great vault Sylvanas dagger 246 and Tirna's dagger 252. in sims tirna's dagger is ahead but rogues in my guild telling the opposite. whats your advice plz
That’s unfortunate
Follow sim, but do keep in mind that a 246 might be harder to come by than a 252 dungeon one
I had to make the same choice today
I'd take the tirna 252. Main hand with Crit haste is better. You can get a sylv dagger from raid and vault anytime
how do u sim enhanced conduit slots
Well not "anytime" but yeah
That one is not crit haste
Its haste vers irrc
Thorn wood? Ah could be verse
If you have access to mythic remnant on weekly basis yes
how come dashing is worse for necro?
Cos doomblade is better with sbs
It’s an extra bleed which counts towards bigger envenoms
How's dashing in mythic plus?
K sounds good. Was curious with the poison spread aoe
Ye I guess that could be nice for big groups
But with a couple of bleeds you’re gonna be energy saturated pretty quickly
Which means that part of leggo is redundant
That’s how I see it at least
262 dashing sims better for me in dslice than 262 doomblade and 235 zold
Have you tried it in real dungeons?
For me doomblade and zoldyck also sim close
But for they’re not close in most cases
yea but only in 16s and 15s, i do about 9k-9.8k overall
Zoldyck>doomblade I mean
but if i upgrade my zold to 262 it wins out
I need some help.
I was playing with blindside / stratagem and the venth leg and was simming at 9k7dps with frost shard.
I switched yesterday for elaborate planning/vigor and dashing as leg (I have 980 (39%) critrate) and my sims dropped to 9k5.
I assumed it was just a sim but better in boss fight but i tested on a dummy and I have really lost tons of dps.
What did I do wrong ?
Bs/ds is only better on guardian if you can play it well
All the other bosses have some type of multitarget scenario
Can u have too much crit?
No
Is having to much crit possible ? 👀
so no DR on it?
There's DR on every stats
there is
There is DR on all secondary stats at some point but that doesn't mean you have too much of it
So u follow sims to tell u when to switch out
crit for something else
Cos for every profile the behavior of that DR will be different
aight
In which scenario you use dashing or doomblade on raid ? I don’t know which one i should use
When i look at logs over 75% parses, it’s 50/50
dashing when you have frost set as venthyr
Is 9k overall in a 1 chest mists 17 fort good dps or should i be doing a lot more? Necro
cant tell without any context and routes a certain number dosent show alot
overall depends on alot of stuff
Ah ok, i cant get a feel for performance... any advice i can follow as a yardstick?
if timed, ggwp
overall can be different regarding tanking, pulls and path in the dungeon so it's a nice metric, but take a step back about it
9k seems reasonable for a mists 17 as necro sin
but theres always room for improvement
and you eventually hit 10k overall
which is just a number, what matters is where and when to deal big damage
In mists your overall can be heavily affected by how well you burst on the first boss vulnerability phase
Which is also affected by your group members' performance
Appreciate the advice guys =)
does main-hand/off-hand matter much? i have heroic sylv dagger and just got 252 mists dagger, which should be in main-hand?
thanks
I am really confused is frost better or unholy for sin? unholy is simming higher for me but everyone is going frost from what i can see
Are you necro
would you guys craft zoldycks with haste/crit or mastery/crit?
I am
Either is fine tbh
Zoldryck/Dashing and Doomblade all sim within 100 dps for me on ST PW and Dungeonslice, should I go with whatever I feel or will this change depending on gear etc? (225 ilvl atm) - Necro
Crit/mastery imo
Did you sim your bonus set with dashing?
no, with doomblade
My best advice here is to mess around with your gear and add some heavy stat critted things. The frost build still has a higher ceiling; however, it takes a lot of crit to get there
I still sim higher with unholy, but if I swap a ring and a non-crit piece frost becomes better
that makes more sense, thanks for that
How much haste/mastery u have guys as%, and how it is recomande?
There’s no set %.
Whenever you get a new piece of gear, it’s recommended you sim to see what works best for you
OK mate
I tried but I have 2 big haste rings but no crit, and i thought some crit would help
Probably will - crit is one of, if not our best stat most of the time
I'll run a sim to check that
I think that even if you reach 1500 crit, crit will still be the best stat x)
overkill?
Hey, the Silvanas Ring ist not simming good for me. But it is so much crit, should I try to get it?
😍
no
dont feel craft if it dosent sim good then its not
ok
Set bonuses can kinda ruin that thought though ><
thank you
But 99% of the time, dj is correct
But if you have frost on, and it’s still not simming we’ll, probably not a goal
yeah
Have you tried just not being necro?
Sorry chief can’t read
Fair
imagine not being necro 
I can’t believe you’d disrespect door of shadows like that
Literally the greatest most worthless spell in the game
that even existed
I do too unless I’m in korthia 

Solid 1.5s cast to move 30 yards
That you could run in the same time
Just great design tbh
yeah i see no problem

Makes dropping traps behind tank spikes painsmith less miserable
But only slightly less miserable
HUGE VALUE 
!sims

Where in DoS is it good?
I have a 252 lashing don’t you dare make me consider switching back 
The pipe in mechagon and the ardenweald jizz room


Its trueeeeee
Its super situational, but incredible in said situations
And i opened for 22k on tarragrue heroic last night
Totally worth it
2 days 2 252 weps, soon 10k with ep vig
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Lwa6gxpG27Cm9ztJ#fight=36&type=damage-done&source=10 Anything to be pointed out here?
i also noticed chaos bane doesnt show up in the list
didnt proc and i still did 9k? lol
No path available

why does kevin get 20s per buff
So that empowered conduit slot, which conduit people put in as venthyr
You can sim that, I believe.
Lashing scars
But yes you can also sim it
the yellow conduit is the enhanced right? cuz then it tells me to put lashing scars into it
so im losing 41 dps if I get hc sylv dagger and swap it out with hc ner'zul dagger wat https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hBb2PVpj6rptcd1ZciCXL8
I am running dashing so mby stats are way more important
Yo .. is Nadya the shits now ? 😄
gaining about 120 dps now from hc sylv dagger, so it was the enchants lel
Yo, so i'm in the middle of a really hard choice: i'm going back venthyr cause necro outlaw is kinda meh for me in raid, and i have just enough cinders for one 262: i play m+ regularly, and i'd play them as sub, i'd also play raid as sin, but i don't know if i should make an obedience262 or a dashing scoundrel262
That makes more sens! My 233 edge of night was above 239 remnant in o.h. and it was like -140 dps in your sim
What leggos do you currently have?
Go for obedience
All the relevant ones, dashing, doomblade, obedience, finality235, celerity 262
Yes id prob do that
Ok, i'll do that ty:D
U have frost gem i presume right
Yep
Since u come from.outlaw
If u want higher raid number u could also go dashing (if u have obe 235)
My guild killed heroic sylv once when I wasn't there, added a raid day that I cant make where they will continue to kill it. Pugging is a nightmare... Maybe my dreams of sylv dagger wont happen
In m+ i doubt the 235/262 obe is gonna be the reason u deplete
In raid 262 dashing will help u achieve a bit higher parse over 262 obe
But neither will be the difference between a green/purple sim
if u play sub aswell, I wld definitely go obedience 262
Because assa is a nightmare and outlaw is unplayable as venthyr in dungeons
Depend how well u can play with a shorter lashing in raid
if u are in to mythic raiding and dont mind being sub in raids for some bosses, I wld go with obedience
??? Outlaw venth is playable in dungeons
I know, but i dont like it without sbs
Ah ! I understand, sbs cp gen is so damn good
That’s just not true
guys is there anything special to take care of when playing Dashing Scoundrel + Venthyr Assa?
i wanted to craft the Dashing Lego now played with obedience be4
just wanna get alot of crit and get frost shards to rank 4
got all Sahrds Rank 5 and 42% crit atm
but i mean about rotation
is it still mutilate slice n dice mutilate garrote?
i got a question about the opener
i mean like i go Muti - Slice - Muti (now im at 2-4Combo Points)
if i am at 2-3 Combo points should i do another mutilate pre Rupture or should i go Garrote Shiv Vendetta Flag Rupture Vanish 2x Muti Envenom?
or 6 CP Vendetta Flag Rupture Vanish Mutilate Shiv Envenom
bcs i mean pre Flag should always be 6 CP
garote flag rup
but doesnt it suck to start the Flag with 4 CP?
guys quick question, in my vault i got the shoulders from kel thuzad with leech (no frost boni so far) and the guardian trinket. both in hc version. wich one would you take
sim is already running^^
should i force the 6 CP with Garrote into Muti into Vendetta Flag Rupture Mutilate Shiv Vanish Envenom
check logs of high passers
Both are Huge but i can only say Frost Boni Is Broken AF especially in cleave where assas strougle a bit compared to other classes
ryluk you should aim for vendetta when rupture is already running
Frost not work aoe
Procs only
into the Frost
yh thats what i mean KT + Dormazain is Free ST DPS
it wont Proc AOE but FOK = Free Damage load
btw, does crittical poison proccs trigger the frost boni?
And posions
any damage u deal up to 180 get safed
cause then dashing scoundrel should get a totaly new value
(only Critical damage too)
Dashing = BIS.
around 250 Dps increase to me compared to Obedience Leggo
Doomblade work good too
and tbh i think Doomblade/Dashing are a safer DPS increase than Obedience, sometimes u wont be Able to have 30+ Stacks on ur window and lose dps
agree
pref doomblade>obedience
thats the idea of dashing with frost bonus, it does work
i think Sylvanas HC Ring + Remnant Mythic Necklace are pretty much Must Haves atm
im stacking Crit like crazy and the Sim tells me get more LOL
Whats your crit at
Yeah mines at 42% but it tells me to do 1 haste ring enchant+gem
at some points haste>crit bcs of all the AA+ Dots were running
but i feel like 42% crit should be the break point
like 42 Crit ~20 Haste as venth
Im necro so idk
as necro ur playing with the 18% crit proc right?
and the execute repeat dps
Heimir or who it was
Heirmere yes
yh, because as Venth u got the Nadija Mistblade Proc which leads into a 10 Seconds Crit Proc afterwards (20% Each)
Haste into Crit
Been doing dashing but moght go back to doomblade because i think it pulls ahead by like 100 or so dps
Since im not venth
Was going to swap to venth but might want to play outlaw too so
well i guess Outlaw/Assa = Necro Sub/Assa Vent
I think venth pulls ahead in raid for all specs
Outlaw can also go venthyr lol
But loses value in m+
Ahhhhh I see makes more sense then 
i mean tbh theyre all really close to each other and every Covenant provides some value and play we ur comfortable with
Nightfae

i call it, 9.2 NF BIS Kappa
Anal [Sepsis]
We're all furries now
Late af, but the sim for obedience doesn't get 30 stacks all the time. It's a sim, it's like the game
Free silence from garrote when we run subterfuge in 9.2 
well tbf its also generally bashing a fluffy pillow standing in one spot without mechanics
@spice spire id like to see a mastery buff and run around with 400% Mastery.
@vtuber everything for the big envenom.

Ape Gang WYA
I should go night fae so i can blame it for my mediocre parses
I’ve created a monstrosity 
Its not my fault guys, my meaningful choice is handicapping me
Feels good doesn’t it?.. the power?.. 
I mean I dont see why not
What bug
https://www.wowhead.com/spell=340082/doomblade or https://www.wowhead.com/spell=340081/dashing-scoundrel to raid as assa?
Mutilate deals an additional 45% Bleed damage over 8 sec.Envenom damage increased by 5% for each Bleed you have on the target. In the Rogue Spells category.
Kevin's oozling, not Kevin!
Kevin is far too powerful and busy to help us
would be OP
check faq and possibly pins
I got a few side grades last night unfortunately they are all in my socket slots and I now have to farm korthia again for 3 more sockets
I play outlaw as Venthyr
been tapped buying conduit upgrades
Grats
Do the sims reflect this bug?
Don’t think so
well normally the oozling gives 6% damage 10s, 30s cooldown, thats ~2% dps, the bug makes that ~4%
so its fairly significant boost for the time being
You could already have 100% uptime on ooze and it still wasn't better I thought
I mean, even without deathspike, in dungeons it's basically 100% uptime
so straight up 6%
I meant for raid
didnt the ooze always last 20 seconds?
For raid it's 100% uptime if you time it
guys can some1 send me the String for raidbots with the doomblade Back Haste Crit 262 pls
when i add leggos it wont show a Doomblade back...
I answered my own question
Is there any haste requirement to efficiently play assa
Yes @fallen arch
disregard stats, listen to raidbots 
wicked
No @sturdy mesa the haste requirement is >0

Im pretty sure the bis m+ build goes 0 haste o.O

How do I do more damage as assassin? What are some easy tips to improve?
You still want some level for energy regen. Just a lot less
Press shiv more
should i always be max energy when shiving? or do I just press it right away?
Finish at max-1.
Shiv on cooldown
Make sure you’re maximizing your CD casts.
Maintain bleeds as much as possible
No
Stand behind the boss
Just press it on cd
Xd
Slam that shi on cooldown
Unless you are about to have to move away from the boss for 10s
Slam it
Press shiv
won't I miss using an envenom in shiv?
Doesn’t matter
Trust in the slamming friend 
forget the amount of envenoms in that window
Focus on that when ur able to remember slamming it when it pops up
Yes, ideally u pool before and dont refresh bleeds in that window
Instant dps increase guaranteed
But that comes when ur able to manage energy and cp
Ok I will test it out on some bosses, ty for the help. I feel that other assassins out dps me by 10-20% even when I feel i hit my rotation correctly
Also weak auras are your friend for helping dps
Ok so when running Marileth instead of Heirmir
If you don’t use them
Do I manage SBS any differently?
I have weak auras yes
I'm trying to decide between 2nd HC Edge of Night or a 252 dagger. Is there a way to sim a patchwork fight where the boss ends at 50% hp? (sylvanas, kraal). I would like to see how much value edge of night loses in that scenario
I set a hash mark on my energy bar as a point of reference, how much I want to pool before shiv comes off cooldown, and a sound effect happens about 5 seconds before it to remind me to pool
its helping
Yes In this case, it’s managed differently from heirmir I’d think
Can you send me that plez @narrow ravine
it's 2 bosses in a pool of 30, does it really matter?
You’d want to maximize your uptime on Kevin as I don’t think it stacks so once the oozeling leaves, pop another sbs
sim, but probably wps
You can sim it, the sims pick up the empowered 
yeah and u probably should be looking for ways to reset charges
DEATHSPIKE STONKS
It is just pure curiosity I guess to see how important a complete 100% fight is for the sylvanas dagger effect
I think there is a way to sim without execute in raidbots
what would you take guys ?
oh no there's not
for M+ and cleave the M+ and Edge for ST 24/7
do u already have 1 Edge?
if not then Edge 100%
Can you get daggers traded by other rogues?

True I was about to reeee and you have a good point
If you dont have edge already, take that
i mean /simc raidbots Patchwork
I multispec sub for M+
then edge
easy sylv dagger
If this is current
edge 10000%
yh sim urself but i guess edge for sure
Alternatively:
u lucky bastard with yo daggers

1 m+ and gets a dagger
Clear the raid this week;
If no dagger drops from sylv, get it from vault
thank you guys
10 m+ every week, first daggers this week
I have 252 with korthia off hand 
that's sad
is there a 252 korthia off hand?
clever decision
No
No I have a 252 MH AND a korthia off hand
euh, I read that wrong
on the other hand, nothing to wait for, because I want only one sylv dagger right ? and I already have 252 main dagger
Just get the edge
What would you use the other 252 for
edge lords
for myself a offhand sylv dagger is 100 dps increase compared to a 252...
the edge is the best OH for all 3 specs
ive simmed myself several times with it in the OH and its lack luster
200 dps increase from 252 dagger to 246 edge on offhand
yeah sub will do that
this was outlaw lol
(dont forget the execute effect)
Is the Edge of Night Sim buggy atm?
I got a 252 MH and 246 OH
If i switch the OH with the 246 Edge i lose 200 DPS. Sounds pretty wrong for me
did you enchant it
yeah, same enchants
link the the result, we cant guess, just have to look at the sim
Running the sim again atm, found a little mistake in the settings
But still its weird in my opinion
thats about what I get, around the same to a dps loss of a few, not 200 at least
its lacking stats on the dagger which is hurting it for us
well, just kill Mythic Sylvana and get a 259 dagger then
True 
But thanks for your help guys
its most likely just losing the crit on your OH dagger
can i give you guys my logs? i took a 3 week break from wow and after coming back i seem to be doing less dmg and my energy regen feels a bit slow.. can you see if im doing anything wrong?
Yes
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/yfzdckWg7NqTtKm9/ this is hc kt and sylvanas (my name is pika)
mainly the kt one we never got past p2 on sylvanas
i can find some other bosses though
Were you going down on KT?
yeah
As KT is a bit wonky if you’re going down
You're just not gonna parse on that going down, period.
kk ill look for some other fights
I mean
link like a guardian
if you really want feedback
Holding CDs is cring and having to do ST while other rogues can do aoe
i dont think i did guardian after coming back, i did normal painsmith today but i dont think i kept the logs
Just wait till people are regularly pugging KT H -- and go in, then even if assigned down, just don't go
or work it out with your RL that you guys take turns.
I am picked to go down on KT every single time...
"Just don't go" - Every Raidlead liked this.
lol i am too on every character i have
oh no you cant pad on the adds you cant kill anyways until the downstairs phase is done
pain, suffering
Ele Sham main and I used to go down in my old guild 
“Ele has the best movement”
guys got a question do i get 50 Soul cinders from doing this Korthia Attack in Maw? that 1 u can do 1 x per week
I know I can sim this, but in general it's finishing your Shard bonus THEN leveling the other shards, right?
Mf bring some melee
Im sure me and the other sin rogue will be downstairs, just work with the job you have in your raid
(on mythic)
we do go down on heroic normally
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/9FaC14WqtLkhvBcz#fight=1&type=damage-done this is hc fatescribe and my dmg was super low here so help here would be great too
@alpine latch the Shard bonus iLVL always picks the lowest Shard from the Set so ur goal is to get 3 x Frost Shard Lvl 5 Into 1 Offensive Unholy and 1 Offensive Blood on 5
Did you get runes?
i think i did 1 set of runes
Yeah but how many bombs did you get and runes did you run
Consistent wasting of CP is what I’m seeing. Also that opener is hella scuffed
1 set o fbombs too
you literally can't compare stuff like this.
Big parses on fate scribe rely on juicing the adds
You're better off looking at your damage to boss parse and see how that is
Assuming your adds are dying at the right time and everything
During MA window, you shouldn’t be garroteing.
Your opener as NL during the MA window should be SBS > SnD > Mut > then garrote > rupture if at 4 CP
How do we sim fae guardian buff?
alright thx, can i give u my guardian logs from before i went on a break and see if i did anything wrong there too?
Finally broke 10k sim mark
Sure king
ignore the talent though the number shown is for deeper strat/blindside
it'll be normal tho since i missed hc guardian :p
Its just a talent compare
And outside of being hella unlucky with the orbs shouldn’t be a ton of deviation
@clever kindle that is necrolord? What legendary?
necrolord with dashing scoundrel
ok - yeah i just need the frost bonus still
I"m running unholy cause i dont have shoulders yet
feels so bad

so bad
your first gcd should be sbs
I got lucky with my dom sockets to start so I picked those whenever possible so I could trade them
i mean i UPGRADED my frost ones already
and am running unholy lol
cause it's what i got
Still missing a frost shard?
no missing the shoulders
i have one chance left on mythic tarra tomorrow
wdym by my first gcd?
Hey guys, any clue why frost is still not ahead for me ? 😦
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dnzBnJpjtaBHfiDxKMouFo
lol my vault always has duplicates
once gemstone comes up
the first ability you should use is SBS
@weary marten did you upgrade the shards to the same level as unholy? Also one thing is that it scales with crit you know
I mean the first ability on pull should be sbs
oh ok
So im pretty sure that Frost set is also causing a gap between Shadowcore oil and sharpening stones
as well as potion choice
i tested blood and frost cuz i got no head shard right now ... but i sim 600 behind sub blood
wait can shadowcore oil crit and trigger it?
oh god
I see a few basic things here
Im pretty sure anyways
shadowcore oil does crit, and the value is almost perfect
It's around like 540-560 for me
are you running 2x oil ?
!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
which is pretty much the frost set cap for crit absorption
yes
Im not the best geared rogue in the world but im pumping atm with my setup https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/mZd6qRyp4xcwGXth#fight=7&type=damage-done
Frost damage is ridiculous
sigh
A. Same as above, your wasting a lot of CP in avoidable stuff - and here you wasted a bit of energy.
B. Your opener is off, see above for that 😛
C. You’re not saving your remaining SBS for gemstone procs. On this fight it says you fired both off at 4-5 seconds in; but gemstones didn’t proc until 8s. Which means you missed some free crits in potentia
I'm aware of what the normal thoughts on it are but I wasn't sure if crits from the oils were being considered over the non secondary damage source provided by sharpening stones
Same thing with using stat potion
sims telling me to drop from 47% crit for more haste 
in raidbots we trust
Any reasons the apl tells me to not vendetta pre-flag and rather vendetta after going right into shiv? surely that must be wrong idk
You guys min-max frost set bonus6
Do u use a WA or
does the ilvl of the shoulders affect the strenght of the frost set also ?
like if i have 239 shoulders, would i gain even more with higher shoulders
no, just hit buttons
Don't think there is a way to game the frost set, just do normal priority
^is what im refering to, not only is it delaying vendetta for seemingly no reason, other than pre-vendetta envenoms after shiv AND losing out from added damage values of using vendetta on the global before flag. this is playing with obedience and CT, not playing shiv conduit either. APL is not the best or?
I’m an idiot that went unholy so I don’t personally, don’t think it matters though
maxed out unholy first too sadly
I leveled all of mine to 3
Then started working on Frost
I think a few are still 2 but all DPS went to 3 and the Unholy Aura one
According to you guys, what are must-have wa´s as assa rogue and in retail right now
!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
I like afenar’s a lot
I don't think there are "must haves", personally. I think that changes for all of us.
Vendetta doesn’t eat a global and the energy regen helps get the max stacks for flag would be my best guess?
Had to fix that 
No
It’s most likely using vendetta after the rupture to not cap energy, I’d have to look at the entire report to see if anything wonky is actually going on. But rogue APL is probably the most optimized. We have a lot of people contributing toward it and they’re constantly trying to find gains/optimizations/etc
What level is your frost
my frost is r4 and obe sims 60dps more with bs/ds
my frost shards is rank 4
how much time should I sit on Vendetta to line up with Blood lust?
If you wont lose a cast, unless you need lust+cd's for a mechanic or smth
crit/vers for sub crit/haste for sin, pick your poison
crit haste
If you’re playing multiple specs go crit vers

But tbh it’s kinda whatever, the 54(?) secondaries at 262 ilvl won’t make or break it
how do i add a upgraded m+ piece to top gear ( i dont have it levelled yet )
i want to compare with the rings i got in vault
have a feeling ill need both but dont wanna burn valor
ilevel=246 in the simc input
head=",id=186330,gem_id=187318,bonus_id=7188/6652/1485/6646"
let's say this is my head and I want to change its ilevel
head=",id=186330,gem_id=187318,bonus_id=7188/6652/1485/6646",ilevel=246 and you're good to go
thank you very much. will give that a go now
couldn get the i level to change. unless it just doesnt show on the selction
but slyv ring seems to simming as a loss :/
You can also droptimize pieces you need 
Yeah as far as weakauras - they're very personal. I think it's good to get ideas from the popular ones - but then make your own.
All of mine are custom made. It helps to know some LUA - but in reality you can just "steal" stuff from the other sets too.
it should, unless something is wrong
its in brackets * 236 ) changed to 246 and nothing
can you put the string in here?
remove the bonus stuff
bonus stuff is fine, just needs to add ilevel=ilevel at the end of the string
Anyone have a good WA for the Decanter trinket?
yea don't use decanter that's the best wa
well it was better then the Heroic Sludge trinket i was using
decanter isnt bad
236 Shadowgrasp last night, haven't gotten around to trying it out
Guildie said she macros it to her most used ability and it accounts for 2% of her overall damage

its really good
bind it with vendetta also does not trigger gcd
Was running all the PF keys my guildies had too
Mine's a Spires, I always do poorly in that place
Careful though, it will pull things out of combat with a bad tab target
Yeah I'll have to try it out on open world stuff, never had it before.
do you guys still play assassination on spiteful weeks?
doing m+ without those subterfuge garrotes is such a drag
I do hate myself so yes
lol - i do still -- i think it depends on the group, sometimes i have no issues restealthing.
I just play assasination, the other two specs are not fun to me at all
just spam that /cast !stealth macro
my sub is dogshit, so I play sin
yeah i dont know why sub doesn't sit well with me.
like i do fine doing dailies in korthia, but anything longer and it doesn't feel right
It is lol
It’s under mutilate
