and you can swap poison bomb for CT on some fights
and for M+, subt and ct?
yep
Yep

and swap the lvl 40 row to iron wire its good in m+
nice
Any thinking on whether it's better to upgrade your lower items or higher?
which potency conduits for M+
in the faq
faq
roger
whichever the sim says is a bigger upgrade
necrolord conduit
necro conduit
on everything
well that order puts it at the bottom so
yeh it's =
or just play it instead of lethal
o
lethal wps mmmmmmm
Groundhog Day…only no Bill Murray 😅
- lashing if you're venth
katar bad?
i see
its equal to lethal at best so no real reason to run it
and which of these should i put in empowered slot
ty 
none of our conduits go crazy with level
ah
lashing is only the best because it's a strong baseline
but every upgrade is basically 15-20 dps

anyone here has that crit mastery build with zoldyck for fortified weeks? does it perform well?
thinking about upgrading some crit/mast items of mine
Yeh it’s my go to really. Crit/mast/versa generally
i got a death gods signet with socket
are you necro or venth
Vent but was necro in S1
do you use theotar?
could just sim
If not playing sub that week then yes but it’s kinda whatever, either soulbind works fine
idk if dungeon slice sims execute phase well and all that
Yay, a 252 IQD, a belt I already have and a downgrade necklace
at least you can swap back and forth now with the energy changes
Yeh was just reading, nice little change until .5
is it worth it to use CT on single target bosses in M+ if running obedience
yes outside of your shiv window
Yeh I don’t bother changing too much for keys but if it’s free swapsies why not
yea i would just swap to theotar for m+
now i might use it for raid too
well i got crit tea so looks like im using theotar tonight at least
Is IQD a trap if I only ever do m+? I will never get mythic guardian trinket
iqd in genreal is fine
the what
The what
if you dont have an enemy targeted it will not do the execute damage
sounds annoying
I have a 252 option in my vault, I currently have a 226 fusion amplifier so I know it’s gonna sim as a giant upgrade
Also a decent WA to get pops if someone is low hp/mana to ensure you don’t bait everyone every 3 mins
yea but you should usually be using it at the start of an m+ pull so you shouldnt have to worry about it too much
Boss encounters may surprise you 😂
Not used one since S1 on my DK but was a regular key and raid occurrence 😭
i was living that boomy life for a while this expack so i feel the pain
meh ive seen better
andi already have the neck
yeah i have a shadowgrasp already.. its just 6 ilvl below.. so nothing is really a significant upgrade
I got 252 phial in vault to match my 252 totem. Which is awesome, but all my luck is wasted on trinks while I'm still rocking a 233 off hand from taz.

anyone wanna link that ember tracker plz ;p
what ember tracker
!guide
whats the max time to hold shiv for? 10 seconds?
ty

and is the opposite true if shiv is about to be off cd do i hold vend, or just send it and hold vanish for shiv?
you’d probably use vendetta as long as shiv will come up and get its full duration during vendetta
yeah but should I hold vanish until i can shiv into vanish inside vendetta
Never too much crit
Lol
i would, since you don’t necessarily need to line up vanish and vendetta to the exact second, just need to make sure you get full benefit of MA window in vendetta
obviously the closer you use them together helps with lining them up for future uses, but
i just worry about getting vanish and vendetta cds too out of sync
like my crit is at 41 and haste is about 20
i can get crit to maybe 42-43% but at the cost of my haste
sim
stop looking at the damn % and just sim
I got 50% crit this last week and it's actually my highest simmed build
no more 3cp mutilates on pull/vanish 
im simming more with frost/doomblade than i am frost/dashing scoundrel is that possible or am i simming wrong?
are you necro, are the legos same ilvl
yeah then it happens
That’ll be it
im necro too
dashing and doom are like 20 dps apart
for me
vampire bois get better value out of dashing
hmm actaully seems unholy/doom is best for me
and im simming 10k is that too far behind?
unholy/doom didnt notice people are swapping legos
blindside/DS aslo sim higher for me
if you have r5 set as assa youre most likely simming 10-11k territory
blindside sims lower than ep for me
and you can be 1/10m or 10/10m doesnt really make a huge difference until you stock up on all the loot from last 3 bosses, the rest is vault rng
ya 11 weeks in and no weapons
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3fPbMPJtkFHqPoUy61FyN7 so the 252 IQD is a DPS loss in dungeons?
wheres that windfury chart which classes benefit the most from it?
pinned in #wow-general as well
ty
Do you only need to auto remnant orbs once for frost shard?
can fok
I'm not sure why I'm doing less damage this week than last week :/
probably cuz this game is a slot machine and u are low rolling atm
I even got WF this week and didn't have it last
252 Ocular Gland and my RL is not keen on it haha, I don't have anything as good to replace it with and the buff uptime is over 90% according to logs. Surely it's only bad if we have a burst window lining up with heavy raid damage?
Oh man I'm so behind after taking a few weeks off. @balmy condor got a legendary upgrade?
indeed
Awesome man. Well deserved
yeah
f
anyone else bugged out and able to cast ambush while out of stealth? im not specced into blindside or subterfuge
i just got 128 ambush casts on eye of the jailer
lol
wtf
LOL
dude what
wtf
thats crazy
are there any precautionary measures i should take? should i be afraid of getting banned?
parse will probably just get removed
indeed not specced into bs
and that's bout it
I wanna do damage
whats funny isthat wasnt rank 1
Did anyone try assa on ptr?
target cap removal isn't on ptr
Oh nvm 😶
can anyone tell me how TF i make raidbots include different shards? Ive, ticked Domination sockets, ive selected the shards i want, i have the required pieces/slots but when i look at the raw input code - it has never included the shard ids. I want to see how much difference going from blood to frost would be on my current gear but it only ever returns blood shards.
Thanks
did you hit the checkbox that says replace gems
this one
nope didnt see that. Thanks. been doing my head in waiting 8mins for a sim not to work haha
how do you have 0 mutilate casts
bug
i vaguely remember seeing someone here saying env pooling wasnt that important but
i got rid of a lot of haste and i feel like ass now
it isn't :)
perfect pooling is about 0.7%
i feel like i started off this patch playing a lot better than i am now and im frustrated lol
guess i need more crit (24% necro), showing as a 90dps loss using R3 frost over R2 blood. is 30+ the ideal?
weights or acid gland
yes maybe even higher than 30
im obv not a pro but i had that problem too, the the same vague crit range change. once i got somewhere around 30-33 it swapped
Sylv daggers are miserable to get wtf
ive been doing normal and heroic every week and i dont even think ive seen a single dagger drop for anyone in a raid lol
Our guild group has seen 0 daggers and 0 bows in like 7 weeks from normal/heroic runs
though I'm the only rogue i guess
i got slyv dagger on my first normal kill and heroic nerzhul dagger on my first kill. but my DK has never seen the trinket off sylv on LFR/Norm/Heroic. Rng is Rng
Just rough, at this point I'm almost full heroic geared except 220 daggers
i know how you feel man. I finished Season 1 with 200/194 weapons on my DK with 40-50 mythic+ runs
for pure ST raid boss, should I use 1 oil + 1 stone, or 2x stones?
!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
thx sir
With dslice telling me to take MA over subt, what would the rotation look like without the triple gar opener?
I've been going spike, spike, ct, gar, spike, rupt, fan, rupt, gar, fan, rupt, -> maintain dots + enevon dump prio.
But I feel like it's not actually hitting the spot where it is doing more damage than using subt.
For context pushing 19/20s currently.
you would fill with fok/mut/envenom/ct as needed
but I highly suggest not taking ma
the dps gain is not worth
that silence onf 3 targets is always gunna trump the small dps gain right?
Yep, especially when you can vanish and apply it again mid pack if need be.
Yeah that was my main thought, but figured I'd ask here first in the off chance I'm missing something.
It's only been recently that sims have leaned into MA over subt (assume from crit stacking), so was testing it out a bit first.
Plus iron wire as well giving you extra damage reduction
Yeah I didn't consider the extra benefits of iron wire tbh.
Thanks guys
should i buy my rank 3 blood shard or rank 4 unholy? i'm 10 embers short of being able to get both
hands?
use the gloves from the korthia vendor
guys for remnant logs i dont even cleave te orbs right?
i mean just go straight for boss
I usually bleed whichever one is next to the boss
but do they affect the logs in form of dps?
i feel like i dont even get regen when they die.
Orb damage is not removed from logs as far as I’m aware
Actually I know for a fact that it isn’t removed
i just tunnel boss
ok, ty.
because of how low health they have
if ic ant reach boss for w.e reason
i just dot up the orb
to not waste time
i just predot them like with 3 cp rupture when left
it's definitely worth predotting
so when the suffering comes and hits it
at least 1 orb
aight.
im pretty sure you get a tick regardless of it being vulnerable to damage right @balmy condor?
like energy ticks
yes
@balmy condor is it actually worth to use a 5 cp rupture for the orbs? like is it better to use cp for energy regen or raw boss damage with envenom?
how much of a dps increase is heroic sylvanas dagger btw
nah
3 or 4 sure
maybe a garrote if you're far from pandemic window
but never a full one
especially since most of the time ur running DS/BS
so getting to 5+ cp takes way more energy than 3 or 4
tyvm
Gotta sim them
For me there’s a 500 dps increase by going from 220korthia>heroic sylv. Or 350 for only MH
But once they drop my sims will finally be at 9K 😂
not necessarily a 5cp
btw u can use droptimizer for raid without being premium and it will show u all raid items with a % dps increase and numerous. (wont affect unsocketed shards tho)
Yeah I know but I wanted to be a bit more granular with it
Was just wondering if anyone knew off the bat
i think the sylv dagger is also simming very different depending on ur stats tho
since its affected by combo point finisher
for me for example Heroic into Mythic (offhand heroic into main hand mythic) is 195 dps~
yh mainhand should always be >higher ilvl
I was hoping double heroic dagger would be an increase but the dream is dead until mythic
bro this is fucked
your mainhand weapon always deals more dps than ur offhand
i havent killed pain yet
double sylvana dagger only good as sub
and i havent looted off any boss yet
and if they don't kill pain fast
i won't get to do guardian
then
i have to miss fatescribe when they kill it tomorrow because im gone
then i get 1 vault and no loot

@agreon any m+ dps increase left?
belt maybe
soulrender feels like bis belt atm tho will u reclear it on mythic?
just did
didnt drop it
ive gotten no loot so far
in reclear
i could get ring or chest from h sylv
sylvana chest feels good tho due to the high crit
even tho its "only" 246 its for alot of ppl better than 252 eye chest
im just hoping they kill painsmith fast
so our guardian reclear happens tonight
instead of when I'm gone
because I should get loot from it
Lol a friend of me moved out from his hometown and got benched @sylvanas mythic and after CE his guild disbanded
LMAOO good one
easy to find a guild probably
still sucks tho he waited for the reclear for free ce
yeah
cant blame him tho
i'm in for prog on every boss now
i just joined during their pain prog
so i don't get to kill it
2 weeks after they did
😐
are we staying on topic in here
Whispyr has gone crazy with mod power
nah its always been like this
He gonna flame our logs on stream if we don't stop 
we should shut up 😒
We had to pug a dps and then he just dropped group after we cleared through first 3
Homie really wanted his mythic vault apparently
nice
there
you can see my good logs
both of those were with rank 4 frost
all my logs after have rank 5
but are shit
You have rank 5 now?
yeah
got it after the nine
wouldve had it during the nine
but my raid didnt invite me for trash
Wait they should have been better then no?
Yeah I mean you should have pumped after the upgrade
i messed up soulrender
and i dont have much experience on remnant
so that was whatever
my soulrender wouldve been decent
was gonna be in the 12k+ range
but
death
Death is sadge
do you use mouseover shadowstep?
On what
Oh
There's very little to use your movement shit on
Cause the platform isn't actually that big in reality
In terms of how much of it you're using
how much dmg does it do even?
1shot
do u just die regardless
guys, in your opinion, whats the best legendary for assassin with 249ilvl on m+?
i'm using obedience, since i got some nice sims
zoldyck is best but obedience is pretty good too
is it not?
Do y’all think soulrender or remnant is easier for prog
soulrender
if you have a ppriest, remnnt
Lol
Absolute specials
I would agree but I realized my brain was too small to heal a while ago
isnt obedience even simming higher than zoldyack @pins ?
@balmy condor
hes gonna answer with pins tho
obedience zoldyck
Zoldyck=good
i thought that in dungeon slince obedience is slightly better
it can be
aye so a playstyle and preference thing i guess.
sure yeh
usually people get bent over by obedience in dslice
because they have a dogshit cloak
so their off piece is just so trash
my cloak kinda fire tho
I got the tazavesh cloak which is pretty meh
crit mastery mythic raid cloak pog
Hey all! Im curious what is the conduits and legendary for m+? what have you found to be the best setup?
zold sf wps lp
not katar?
no
ok thank you!
Lethal better
katar doo doo
whats sf?
whispyr always right
aah, im venthyr 😦
So play lashing wps lethal
but theres only room for 2? do i go the other path on the tree?
ok cool thanks
you go 3 in m+ yeh
yh cleave 3 st the dps increase and damage income decrease one
Raid is the same unless you're playing nadjia like a noob then it's lashing wps
aah alright
god finally 11k without bs/deeper
so wait nadija is not the best?
Depends
been looking from icy veins :S
You probs don't have conduits ranked up so just stay nadjia for ST Theo for aoe
ok thanks
200 ls, 226 wps, 213 lp
do they have to be max to theo single target to be worth?
just sim
aah yea true
@brazen zodiac Huh what did I do
@balmy condor what write make force crit juice
im too drunk for this
Nvm I actually understood now
Theotar crit tea @whisp
Your call
@balmy condor
just go agility
I actually don't remember asking
Ok nvm
@balmy condor if you mix green with red do you get your name colour now? You tellin me you back to red boi?
ouch.
close
he is part of outlaw at heart
brown
@balmy condor is this on topic?
red+anything is brown honestly
And your name colour is....
Hahaha
Don't think so bud
very important not being outlaw

is the heart of assa
Bye bye whisp
sleep well
Deep down red boi is top tier in this Chan
Im still a red boi deep down, just ignore that I'm maining ww rn cos we need debuff

dont worry i said the same when i played 4 chars and could only play rogue on farm
@ebon notch i asked if u were the person who told me to ignore runes on fate haha
We did 👍
wait what happened hahahh
was this in a guild run
Imagine anyone doing p3 runes
ever
U orange people naow

jk well deserved
Lol
❤️
Congrats Whispyr on your promotion

@ebon notch no but we wiped cause i didnt go
apparently
even tho there were multiple people who finished
they just wanted to get back to dpsing
how is any of what i typed troll
well yeah
was just memeing and doin what daps did
there's a difference?
kinda
Who is ready for garbago vault 
I already got my 1500 research 
Ouch
Welp, in your case it was the best choice 
Doing 10 keys for nothing is fun 
Ouch
That hurt
nice vault
i heard that ring is pretty good
I need fate head/sylv ring/stlv dagger
U dont have that shit maxed out?
Shoulders are nice
That ring is a dps loss for me and I have 246-239 rings


haste mast ring get that shit out of my face
Ye massive vault incoming here
Wow sweet trinkets 
Is it ok to have 0 mastery?
thats @brazen zodiac best ring
Raidbots wants me to have 0 mastery
I have 0
if you don't do m+

ok
0 mastery is fine
the worst part is
It’s weird though how frost has flipped our stats around so hard
guys, what is the macro change the lengendaries before start pull plz?

somehow KT neck still beats
Same, on rogue
the weathered >.<
I again have to go with, ‘you’re trolling right?’
thank you
really?
trust the orange
that's what I said
oh fuck
sub only
Whisp, i dont get it
And no not only for stat weights
lol
Dslice is trolling me
time to buy a loot run tbh
fucking depressing
it is for him
lmfao
For sub it is
a heroic one is only 20 dps increase but at this point its all ego
Hey guys, Does winds of winter sim right for assa? seems to come out much lower than blood and unholy for me?
t5 winds with 40+ crit is the way bro
probably simming just fine, if you have low crit or arent venthyr or arent simming dashing
any number of things could cause it to drop under unholy or blood
or tier of the shards yes
dashing scoundrel venth 40+ crit t5 wind
Necro with doomblade so that could be it?
also works yes
crit %?
im probably too low on crit
not sure of % in my assa gear
i am only 26% crit with 21% haste unbuffed
ok thanks guys
pog
lemme hold that string rq
Get some traders to stack in there
@arctic walrus
lemme hold that g string rq
Nah like can you ask rae if he can trade me a dagger
I know you would never get it anyway
Thanks

Hello everyone have a good vault!
thanks I didnt!
Oh true
Well remember next week
So I can help your vault to be awesome
what did u get
I was about to !ban as a joke and then remembered that’s actually a thing now

I got only shot in vault from start so I think same today xd
dont worry im sure you guys with shit vaults will get sick raid loot
and have good prog
and everything
🙂
Y totally shit dzmn
Big vault
holy
Lucky
very good
Didn't even look at the other 8 options
Big trinket too
Rocking 226's. Killed the eye every week on heroic and mythic. Not very pog
Our Druid tank has gotten hands every week except one from the eye
If you've taken stygia 6 weeks in a row, surely you're already pretty well geared or just not filling your vault?
That's some hectic crap luck.
I guess it's statistically gonna happen to someone but that sucks.
this week was my first stygia this patch
Got a 262 Obed for Sin/Sub, 262 Celerity for Outlaw, any recommendations for my next 262?
Damn ice stuck in 9.0 that’s unlucky 
well 1500 research there you happy
If you play assassination a bit, I’d recommend dashing as it’s our best legendary with frost shards.
And quite a bit of crit
yeah i would say bank it or craft dashing if you raid sin and could use a little boostie
Ey got my dagger
Guys, need some help, i have these two bad boys in the vault, and i have equipped the phial 246 and divisible ooze from plaguefall too 252
Take the Phial.
it gives a less dps right now, but thats what i think too
PHIAL
You can get the eye trinket soon enough anyways
hate when blizzard troll u even when u have a good vault xd
Usually in our raids we have like 1-3 of them dropping everytime
and no one wants them

I'm sure you'll get one quick enough
people scared of being debuffed for less than 10% of the fight
Definitely the most common loot from that boss, or shadowed orbs from remnant kek
okey guys, ty for the advice
now lets go to get the last 400 points to get tier 6 archivist
have a good day shadow friends
what item you miss right now ?
That's insane
Could do with a 252 Arachnid ring as well to be honest
Sylv belt?
It's actually slightly worse for my character
It doesn't have any crit, it's haste/vers
:/
shit game
all my homies hate blizzard
jfc
not sure why they even felt the need to remove the tokens and add all these unique weapons
so much pain for so little flavor
I’ve seen more “legendary” bows drop than good ol edges
have see no leg no dagger on sylv actually
again no sylv dagger today, feeling like i joined some acapella sad chorus here,,,
Got 2 246 Edges but can only use one ☹️
But do you rly want infinite crit rating? Got 45% atm and its just slightly ahead of haste
Of course not, you'll just have to follow your sims when gearing yourself.
It's likely that if I get a Sylvanas ring, that the belt will pull ahead slightly.
But currently the belt is a worse alternative than the Soulrender belt.
Yes sure but talking about the items you want the belt should be in your list afaik
Crit will pull ahead for me again if i geht rid of the ocular gland just as agi will do in your sim if you get to much crit
Got the second dagger in my vault... in a row. But I guess 246ilvl is worse than 252ilvl MH from M+?
Simming it, though its kinda tempting. 😄
246 sylvdagger mainhand is way worse than a 252mh
like 80dps~
Even if you only had a 246 the difference is minimal
So many doomblade gamers on sylv why is that? Is it more P3 dmg?
Eh.. Gonna take the legs for the t-mog then. 
kinda weird that its only -15 for you

how is it that ppl that dont need it always get it
I need KT Shoulders so bad... Didn't have that much luck though.
neither do i have those
Take second dagger for sub offspec
Saw it only dropping once 
There's no way in hell I will play sub haha
my man u have 2 daggers thats the whole luck there is in the game
Considering I've got 252 in my MH I wouldn't say so hah
well u have the choice to have 2
Finally gets sylv dagger in vault and ofc I also get dom chest from sylv that sim better 😂
i get my first sylv dagger before next tier 
that's true, but Sylvanas dagger is only better on MH with mythic ilvl, 252 daggers from M+ are better than 246 ones on the main hand
yeah
i wouldnt care abt that
just gimme 2
instead of 0
im willing to take the dps loss
yeah, they're that good 
Why do droptimizer say Tarrague shoulders are +32 upgrade, but top gear -22 
I still don't have a Sylvanas dagger, nor a 252 dagger. i run around with a 246 and a 226 dagger but i have the critical chance trinket in vault so my frost set finally simms highest. should i take the trinket from vault then ?
its ok man
i had 226 daggers when i was like 245 equipped
just believe
your first mythic sylvanas kill will give 2 daggers
thats the biggest cope if ive ever seen one
what's a bug

atleast if i had rolls i would roll and get stygian embers 
is the 10 conduit energy per day thing live now?
it still says 1 per 24h

It should be already live. Blizz probably forgot to update tooltip
ok im gonna go hard on these bitchass conduits now
I've been seeing shadowgrasp trinket used more recently, is it worth getting over 239 fusion amp?
You’d have to sim it to make sure, but the totem is a really good trinket
@limber lion no
I channeled all my good juju to you so you could get a sylvie dagger

I see a lot of doomblading going on for sylv m, is it just cus people are playing ct or am i missing something
They shouldn’t be
They shouldn't be doing either.
If they're Necro, you'd expect them to play Doomblade
Well to be fair, if you play necro with ep/vig doomblade is around equal
At least that’s the case for me
I heard some arguments made for CT helping in P1/P2 if your group is struggling
But that was a few weeks after mythic came out when gear was a lot lower
Might be less relevant today
Just looking a logs 70 ish % is doomblade
Well it’s not like they’re playing a different game
They probably have their own Whispyrs figuring stuff out
Not that it’s wrong, I’m just going off a more general consensus
For my second rogue Dashing pulls ahead very slightly with r4 frost and quite big time for r5.
Also with ep/vig?
Yes.
Your second rogue has t5 frost?
I’m going back to sims, for me last time I checked db was still a little ahead
when are you joining ep/ds gang cev
its a bit feelcrafty but i think its better on sbs reset heavy fights for necros
painsmith fatescribe
Definitely is, that was already the case in CN
But still, feels kinda awful to play at times.
Could just be the case of not having KT neck, fusion amp or Sylv dagger.
Who knows.
I have a KT neck
It just doesn't sim any better
No btw I have it on there
W/e
The leggo's are potato potato for my profile
So I'll just stick with doomblade for now
I'll see how it looks like for my current profile.
Dashing was winning pretty clearly for my main as Necro a few weeks ago
Still does, +58 dps
Oh, I meant to say Remnant neck
Not at 252
Ye I'll ram a socket in and check again
Wouldn't recommend that though
Don't spend resources on a heroic neck
Just save it for the mythic one
Done
You either play with Vigor and Elaborate Planning or Blindside and Deeper Stratagem, never mix them around
Not true.
I've never seen someone mix them
Vig/DS is fine for Necro in AOE fights
And BS/Vig is decent for low level Night Fae/Kyrian players
He's necro but the fight is ST
The fight?
ner'zhul
He linked his page not a single boss
But yes, on Ner'zul you would not take EP/DS
Since he asked for dm
Dashing pulls ahead.
wait what
For your profile
did I sim without pots?
good morning or afternoon!
