Parses aren’t the most important thing
parsing should never be an excuse to play poorly I guess is my point
scuffed the opener, got all 3 runes, scuffed like 3 flags
Ppl that ask why u play x spec should honestly just shut the fuck up if they are sub wr 50
@verbal mantle said he would do it
the fool
Pisses me off
oh sweet dadsen
Oh no dadsen 
ok but you literally play outlaw 
evasion everything 
Problem?


you still have time to back out
That emote man deep fried
tazavesh m+ when?
9.2
I have to mentally prepare
oh idk I only did it on hardmode

@balmy condor was there
Yeah hardmode is cancer
I REMEMBER
Just got r5 blood like last week. Will work on UH next, but genuinely feel our healers struggle, and my AOE needs less boost than ST
Good man
You will probably parse pretty poorly on monk with blood compared to unholy in big aoe fights
But
The st value of blood is better for the raid
And defensive
And consistency
I'm really not worried about parsing. Big numbers is cool, but I want the kill/loot.
W
But tired of what feels like more than half our DPS concerned more with parsing than killing.
We're easily gonna be a 300 wipe Painsmith. Currently like 130.
true rogues dont play for the parse, they ARE the parse. born in the parse
True
true rogues track every single buff and debuff to every exist 
100 buffs anchored to their nameplates
@gusty mirage do you go left/left in p2?
Yeah they tried to send me right/left too
Either way my issue is, since I don’t have bleeds or alacrity rolling when I get to a platform I feel starved as fuck
I’m barely getting any damage out on first add platform
I always do that
yeah then you use a finisher right before it runs out
actually i dont have memory of sin but it should be possible?
it is

send it on the low hp add
well i never went left on first
um
but right side has a small hp add + 2 big ones
I’ve used it to get a rupture rolling on Goliath
just build to rupture
i would build to rupture then get it off on as many balls as possible
Left side just has adds no orbs iirc?
yeah just hit an add
I could switch back to right side if I wanted
nah it doesnt matter really
wherever they like your damage
And then they always call to run from Sylvanas before she’s immune
Feels so wrong but ik it’s correct
Just gotta make sure I have sprint or something to catch up a bit
I’ve done that a couple times as well
Does anyone know
If I rupture/garrote her right before she goes immune
then u get
That’s what I’m wondering
i would always make sure u have cp for alacrity refresh when running tho
I will check logs to see if the dots stick after we go to the trashcan man
unless theres other adds nearby
True
send everything on first pltform
vendetta + flag
I always do that for p1 -> p2
obedience or dashing for sylv
Yessir

I don’t send CDs on adds
dashing
you should
or you lose a cast
yep
because you dont have vendetta back up for 2nd burn if you use it on first
You get half of it on 2nd burn
nope
Yes
i get full duration also
Sure
i literally get it just before end of 2nd platform
Because you send on adds
I know that
That’s what the method guide says to do
I’ve explained this to my RL
He wants me on burns
so why are you insistent on 1st/2nd burn
I get PI
is the priest nf
boomering for sure
Ik what would give me the best parse
i also flag 2nd platform
I’m just doing what I’m asked
2nd add platform?
yh
Colossus?
yh
Yeah I think we need more dam there tbh
cause if im using cds on 1st platform
i dont want to be holding flag for that long for 2nd burn
nah
dam on 2nd still good
especially if i have step up
cause i can step over 1st waves
and get giga uptime
what does step over waves mean exactly
Step over first waves?

I always cloak waves
shadowstep
Duh

i presume it means you go back a bit and then shadowstep to boss
after waves have come
oh lmao
i thought there was a step trick to make u take 0 wave dmg
while full uptime

Idk I’m just doing what my RL asks
Maybe I can talk him into letting me switch it up but I highly doubt it
im in key
ty for translate
He referred me to Seli’s kill log for timings
np
Both he and the other rogue in his guild used on boss burns
And the other rogue synced flag+vendetta every cast in p3

ur a big boi
make up your own timings
Is assa good in m+
this certainly was a cringe comment
some of the top logs for the fight only use 6 casts
maybe they kill fast
thats normal
then he fucked it up, unless they do early platform 4 lust
or he got arrows when vendetta comes off cd
there's 12:29 kill times wow
getting arrows
i don't see any 11s on top 100 assa logs at least
still insane
Depends on what you mean by good
Push absolute mad ma
Like, does it do good damage
Assassination is the worst m+ spec but still very good. Rogue very good at the moment
Easily the worst of the 3 specs for rogue in M+, but it can still do well
idk a lot of the logs im looking at send on boss burns
the damage it does do is good because it's to the right target
just that's the same for every rogue spec
no external buffs either
no rogue spec does conventionally "good damage"
We’re literal funnel and kick bots
if your beating other's overalls with a rogue spec, they're playing bad
I can tell you as someone who has done almsot all variatons
if you do both boss burns, you can fuck yourself over really easily
So sad but true, and happens more often than I care to see---even in 22s
p1, 2nd burn is probably the easiest one
theres an arrow that overlaps with vendetta coming off cd when you use 2nd half of 2nd burn if you get that arrow
youre basically losing a cast in p3 because of it
or if you just space out for 10s, youre just gonna delay your vendetta out of the standard lust after veil on 4th platform timing
i see where you're coming from
maybe i make a WA to remind me the exact timing of when to send?
everything in the fight besides p1 phasing is scripted correct?
Okay
so timers shouldn't change?
how are you using now?
I’m coming from playing a BM hunter. Sub is super weird, I don’t really get it. Assa seems more uhh user friendly
pull, after 3rd veil/boss burn 1+2/3 in p3=last with lust
sin is a lot more forgiving for sure
im actually surprised theres more sub logs than sin this tier, but not sure if private logs affect this.
true i guess it doesnt matter how good the parses are
but i bet sin parses better on avg
did you know bm has more logs on sylvn than mm

I find that super odd atleast
i guess exactly when you phase out of p1 would effect timers later on in the fight...
Isn’t Bm the more braindead one
yes
bm yes
Figured it out
yeah I know that jake but I legit dont know anyone that plays bm
sub still has more logs than assa on sylv
😄
nf bm is rly strong st
lmao my one friend who did just hated playing hunter in general
also its just wayy too chill to play raids with that spec
So he played whichever was better
yeah I get that, and that usually shosw in log numbers on earlier bosses
but its still last boss atleast
I guess its just because theres like 2k guilds that are 9/10 now
which is a big number not that far into the tier
atleast compared to literally any tier in the last 3 xpacs
but yeah damn on early bosses bm is just doubling mm logs on some bosses
number of logs
I guess its just super popular in casual world
I mean on tarragrue theres more bm logs than boomie logs
actually on all first 3
It’s an easy spec & gamer dads are stuck at 3/10. I said what I said.
😂
theres a reason why roger played bm on pain
yeah I get all that Id just never think theres more bm logs than freaking boomies
@full tendon i saw you in hunter discord 
Anyone familiar with SpellQueue Window ?
Yeh
What’s the question
That was it, wdym
hehe sorry went away, apologize. thing is read an article on reddit that no matter which class the SpellQueue window should be set equally to your ping and not to keep it 400 by default.
Oh
This is why i asked, need a professional answer if this is true
Yeah that doesn’t really make any sense
I think for the most part, 400 is a little overkill for most “good” internets
But setting it equal to your ping isn’t some magic bullet or something
hey guys you know the season affix miniboss that pulls the group and we have to kill the chains? most of the time I'm not pulled with the group
3 days testet several times
is it a rogue thing or what?
archivists but it's rgn
what do i need there=
Sucks
Idk, it happens sometimes but I’m not quite sure what causes it
Maybe some weird dodge
happens and i have no clue why tbh
!guide
i think you can "dodge" it
haven't tested with evasion
but i've generally only seen it happen to tanks, melee and hunters
never casters
and i assume it's because casters can't dodge while casting
yeah sometimes you just dont get one
do we use CT in ST at all or only 2+ targets
no CT in ST so far
you can check pretty easily in quicksim, it wont show your CT in the damage details, since the sim doesnt use it for Patchwerk
Depends on the legendary you use tbh
with dashing its dps neutral to use it in ST
while its a gain with other legendaries iirc
i use dashing and it has been a 200 dps loss so far
without dashing it should be a small gain but only when talented into it
so for dungeons always, for raid only a couple fights
Compared to never pressing it?
Or compared to poison bomb
Yeah that should be around 200-300 dps
you skill into it for dungeons and certain boss fights
he's asking if he should cast it in a ST situation, when talented into it i'd assume
no doubt
aka dungeon bosses and when there's no adds around
can't wait to try out sbs again for giga cleave
And if ur doing dashing you only press it when multiple targets show up like they were saying

Dude fort weeks are gonna blast
i just wanna have ER back

U want kyrian?
i am looking forward to it, havent been kyrian since 9.0
Go for it if you enjoy it
Dont think the leggo is great on sin but its good on the other specs for sure
kinda worried about ST loss for Assa tho
yeah i am multispeccing anyway, so its no biggy
its more a mood thing
Kyrian is ok ish on sin but the leggo is like worse than playing nf
If ur feeling it for fun thougj
Full send it
is it worth to hold shiv for vendetta or nah?
yeah sin probably sticks to dashing right
For like 10s
Yeah kyrian would go dashing
tempted to switch before reset, but i kinda need the 80 renown boost items for alts
80 renown boost?
with 80 renown you can purchase the 40 renown booster pack for alts
oh u mean your first 80
my kyrian cov on rogue is 32 renown 
mine are all 40 cept nf
im 78 venth lol
sitting on like 60k anima that i might need to transfer to kyrian
gotta do shaping fate and anima after reset
arent you eligible for catch up ?
portal is bis
Forgive me for this noob question but does zoldyck insignia buff our class bleeds or does it buff necro bone spikes? Or does it buff all of them? I did a 17 SD and did 910K damage from bonespikes, where i normally do 400-500K dmg on other dungeons.
There's no way i did this much dmg from spikes by just multi-dotting.
244 ilvl, if it matters anyways.
cant say for sure but it would be very weird for sbs to not be included since its a rogue ability that puts a bleed effect
From icyveins guide for SBS/Necro sin rogue:-
"While this damage over time effect is considered a bleed, it does not interact with most of our bleed-related specialization mechanics like Exsanguinate or Venomous Wounds. Our Mastery, as well as the Zoldyck Insignia and Doomblade legendary power, do synergize with it."
compare number of casts
also consider venthyr buff so it will naturally do a bit more dmg
Oh yeah, venthyr buff too. Forgot about it
Zoldyck’s affects the bleed, the IV guide is correct. And should be considering seli is a NL OTP 
"Does it buff our class bleeds or bone spikes?" is a bit of a weird question because it buffing the former does not mean that it wouldn't buff the latter.
Zoldyck buffs both. Garrote, Rupture, Crimson Tempest, Internal Bleeding and even Serrated Bonespike among other things.
zoldyck is just for non-venthyr, right
Huh?
does it ever out-perform obedience?
It really depends on the dungeon and what you want to do.
i sim it from time to time and it's always way behind
Obedience is not necessarily always the best choice.
Dungeon Slice is a generalized simming method for dungeons.
But all dungeons are different.
In some dungeons you can get more value out of Zoldyck and less from Obedience.
It also depends on your group comp
what factors favor zoldyck? larger/longer pulls?
If you do a high key where a fire mage burst down the entire pack to 30-0%, you'll likely get more value out of the Zoldyck.
Playing with burst heavy comps where your allies do most of their portion of the damage near the beginning of the pack is favorable for Zoldyck
^
And some dungeons by design benefit better from Zoldyck.
so it's really a comp-specific optimization for high keys, not something you'd just use in general
Have you simmed multiple targets with low fight lengths as well?
Not just Dungeon Slice.
well tbh if you're worried about front loaded damage you shouldn't play sin anyway
sin in m+ can synergize well with ww monk for example
because they just blow up packs if they get a proc
and everything goes from like 100% to like 20% health in like 2-3 gcds
zold doesn't seem exciting because it isn't
no assa leggo is really wow in m+ tbh
it's like Cev said it's really based on what your role is in your group
obedience offers you more flags, which is essentially the only burst we have as assa rogues
zold is more consistent
its a set it and forget it leggo
hard to play bad around zold
So I M+ as a necro sin what leggo is favourable if not Zyldock?
My premade has frost mage and ele shammy though
You should just play Zoldyck, why wouldn't you?
Zoldycks
yeah if you're not venthyr your only option is really zold
Ohh I misinterpreted the comments xD
Doomblade in ToP naysayer right here
Zoldyck is the best choice for all covenants, except for Venthyr.
Smh
And that is arguable.
Deathspike for the pad 
yuk

@spice spire besides top, PF tyran, and maybe spires if you play doom you're actually trolling
100%
Yo @spice spire ping me
@limber lion



@spice spire I'll miss you
Yeah, I turn them off nonstop
I always end up missing Quake's comments because he didn't have reply-notifications on
I’m sorry 
it's oki :)
Cev about to ban you 
If I feel I’m just adding local commentary compared to a valid point, I turn them off 
Fair enough
but yeah you play zold because what else are you going to play essentially
Yeah
playing the wrong class for that bud

I think that's probably why the outlaw rogues had boners for deathly in 9.0
because it actually changed gameplay
even though it was definitely less damage than celerity
It also did mad damage
lol
MA too
Which is always fun
celerity is a lot like zold
Nah the first iteration of Deathspike did more than Celerity
Sin and outlaw not allowed to burst over 35-40k in dungeon

Bursting 60k+ as sub was a nice change of pace at least
whats a reply notification
Idk what it's called, but whenever you reply to someone you get pinged.
You can turn that functionality off so you can reply to people without them getting pinged.
Ethical replying 
now that we can compare to ww, original deathspike doesnt even seem that op anymore
Fu
sbs on beta > pre nerfed deathspike
i would never do that
lol
get pinged idiot
Alright lads, I need proper advice/a chat. Guild is flaming me because on Mythic Remnant, my orb damage is low (legit dumbest thing just wait), so i get one mut off on an orb before both die, and like 2 when the 3'd spawns. Our orbs drop proper fast. But they have blamed me and the other rogue for wiping due to out low orb damage. What the hell am i supposed to do
also, parsing 99's on literally every pull apart from the ones i switch to orbs, throw out 2 muts and lose a bunch of dps for some dumb reason
am i shit
the orb has legit 100k health
tell them to get better and stop complaining
if you need an assa to swap targets to a low hp mob your guild is doing something wrong
Wiping with orbs probably more related to not getting them off the platform quicker. I never hit them
Thats what i'm saying, legit askin 10/10m rogues on my server and they said same as you guys
cheers ima have a word
Currently wiping to orbs staying alive for too long is not an issue.
Those things used to have A LOT more health so it was actually a valid complaint back then
But nowadays you shouldn't really focus them down too heavily and just let them die to cleave, unless you know you'll be facing a really bad overlap or you're struggling taking them off the platform.
Feel free to refer them to me if they start whining and I'll set them straight.
The dumb reason could be due to getting Frost procs on Orbs which is definitely a problem as it wastes a bunch of damage if you aren't careful
Hello everyone i recently started raiding again since WoTLK and I'm pretty new to all these advanced tools and resources available these days. I have been trying to up my parses which seem to hover around 70's and 80's ...i've watched tons of YouTube Videos and tried to study higher parsing rogues with similar iLVL but cant seem to make any progress. Below is my profile on wow logs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get the most out of my sin rogues damage potential and hit those 95+ parses ??https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/stormrage/osharko
yeah legit, i told raid lead that called me out that i lost a fuckload of winter damage when i swapped. The orbs die REALLY fast, like, if it were an issue i can easily switch, but the fact i get one global in is dumb. 100% a not being thrown off fast enough issue
Rupturing them before they’re actually taking damage, if they’re like right next to you/boss, is good.
You get energy back.
Oh true, cheers
Except if you get a crit on them before your Winds proc fires off and you do a Winds damage against 99% immunity
Ask me how I know
🙂
Problem with Winds really is we have no way of specifically controlling what they go on, it's just RNG based on the last crit that registers before it fires off. So any time an immunity is mixed in, there's some pretty significant risk of losing damage
I mean RNG is RNG
when remnant of kt gets phased 1 sec before winds proc :(((
With what you’re implying this could happen on any fight with adds, no?
Oh, an immunity

I suppose that’d be a decent reason enough to track Winds
So you can try to prevent such an occurrence
You just never swap then right?
Them dying with rupture doesnt even give energy refund, same with mfd 
Well when they die they don't really die
If I could get a thread here, might be helpful.
But a couple of things I see, without going super SUPER in depth.
A. On your opener, you want to get that bleed damage going a couple of globals earlier. So basically you’re right, it’s mut, snd, Mut, garrote , flag, rupture.
B. You have a 246 EoN mainhand and a 252 offhand, swap those. Eon Is a powerful weapon, but it’s effects will work in offhand, and you want your highest ilvl weapon in mh.
C. On the eye specifically, your bleed uptimes were a bit low.
D. You seem to waste exactly 5 CP on mut every fight, avoid that if at all possible. Remember you can use your finisher on max-1. So if you have 4 CP built? You don’t have to Mut, you can just send a finisher
The energy you get is from when they’re immune/before they die, but yeah
They just go friendly and take overkill damage until they expire
That’s it without going all in and looking at shiv placements, exact rotations, pooling, etc.
i think a good mindset for learning sin rotation is to force yourself to use shiv on cd every time
had success teaching a guildie that way, your rotation gets adjusted correctly to get 3 envenoms off
and all the bleed refreshes fall into place
Edge of night is a powerful weapon, but it’s effects will work in offhand 
That wording bro
Too pure for this world
just get 100% crit 
It is, and envenoms aren’t really the issue. It’s just making sure it’s on CD, it’s easier to find it as an uptime buff than an “I gotta burst this window” buff
I mean people have this weird prio in sin for edge of night, but in reality. Offhand gaming is where it’s relegated unless you’re hyper unlucky or 259 edge of night gaming
ya for sure, the uptime mentality works well too
Sharko log review
Thanks! i'll start by working on the things you highlighted
Yessir. And there’s a thread below as well - there may be some more in depth feedback from others
I’m just an ape that does review from mobile at work
When I’m waiting on SSA to answer 
there have been several times i forget to shiv because i try to line it up with having a refreshed rupture and or vendetta
Please continue in the thread. :)
@gusty mirage reminder to do KT today king
I can try to help too if you ever need a hand

can you help lead me in front of a bus?
preferably a moving bus

I gotchu
thx bb
But only if u push that mage from plaguefall in front of you he deserves it more than u do

YEP
i remember discussing the mdi route tank 
This man should have paid you for that carry king
awkward
Unacceptable mage damage
forgot to change talents
I was actually trolling my own key
played MoS instead of tornado
and soothing darkness instead of cheat

Deadass telling me I inted a key when I was 2k ahead 
And you’re trolling a 21
On jah
Doubt
plus I brought a certified pumper
I noticed the wrong talents after 1st boss
because I'm actually throwing
Good thing it’s a tyran week because fortified might have been sketch with two rogues
it was an actual grief
Papa Ion didn't want you to get the phial
L
said it was frankly a skill issue
true
I got my phial in like sub 15 pf
🙃

you helped carry tf out that key
blizz should take away that mage's PF portal
and give you a 2nd one

oxi is misrepresenting the damage meters
Technically a portal to top top
Oxi is fake news


Same here
W
Actual useless portals for me 


Healing mechanic
He’s too busy pumping
i was STANDING BESIDE HIM
its not my fault hes fucking FAT AND has a BIG MOUTH
he was actually getting griefed lmao
okay?
Meters say pumping
yeah i
Sorry king
9.2k is low for monks

Monk alt
i just need to improve at my class tbh
monk main*
its actually disgusting the difference

Oh true

How’s that 4k boss damage tho
lmao he went from last to first 3rd boss
got a proc on the adds
zoomed to 1st
sick classd
true
the dude I used to run with
would obliterate meters in AoE
and be right there with me on boss dam
Yeah.
these were 18s and 19s
They have burst
cause ele shaman can do OK in cds with u but

But after it’s dog
in 23+
bruh
it falls off out of cds
and second set of cds doesnt save it

It’s okay, my highest is a 20 sanguine
Deadass haven’t pushed a key in a month
Dead inside
we should
ele shaman OP ST
that's what blizz thinks the "baseline" should be
just yoinking ur third leg oxi dw
Ele shaman aoe is a crime against god so it’s a wash

@spice spire have you met a ww monk ever?
its all sustained dmg
u can do like 20-30k over a pull
but u cant burst 100k
bad dmg profile
monks arent that good aswell
Ours pumps up to about 65
ur details buggin

TRUE
Flat damage profile on jah
actual dogwater
Facts don’t care about feelings
yeah neither does the fact that the "free CP" argument
and mage teleports
not as great anymore
this class has everything
dumb game design
5 CP foks nonstop btw

After you argued that ran a key
And?
Got the singular
no better feeling
Huge w
you think we believe u?
I believe him
On jah king
just fok better @kind talon
True
"yeah i got 6 chiji procs in a row"
that's what I meant when I sent you "u want sum fek"
you leave my otp friend alone
I’ve gotten hella 4xCP muts in a row
he's sensitive
Overcapped so hard
@spice spire just spam CT
Don’t


i tuned into his stream one time deadass
he was spamming ct
i asked
why are u not spreading ruptures
"because ct does more damage"

What about night fae @gusty mirage ?
what about it
idk i thought you said something about how you cna't wait to test it tomorrow

yeah bro for sure
I'll get right on that
I love doing less damage for no reason
No there’s a reason.
it's only 3-400 less than venthyr
because I hate myself?
and it's not even optimized
The reason being you’re Night Fae & that legendary is fucking horrible.
yeah man some of us are hot ass garbage and need that 3-400 dps
I just need to beat the DH in boss damage
and I'm content
idc if I'm doing tank damage
THIS IS IT, MASTERY BUILD NIGHT FAE PUMPERS RISE.
You ever just willingly go back to doing Castle Nathria numbers?
Oshosi shooters still in the streets
everytime a sin rogue says mastery's good an angel cries
Looking for a quick bit of advice for CD usage on sylv. Should I pop vendetta early on pull to try maximise second usage before veil in p1?
I'm also being asked to pop all only on Goli for p2, not burn phases
Yes, the p2 sounds perfect as well as you'll have it back for the second burn
Sorry not goli. Collosus
For real 

That’s kinda weird use of your 2 minutes
If I’m assigned to pop on both boss burns, with no faeries, should I pop as soon as I use a GCD on boss?
Yeah I'm not happy with it to be honest, going to ask to use it more efficiently. But currently on trial
To try and minimize the delay for 2nd burn
ye I asked him about it last week
I mean if they’re positive they don’t need the boss damage, then go along with what they want. But usually sim uses on Goliath+2nd burn or on both burns; with 2nd burn being a bit delayed

because I noticed I was hitting 2nd burn with like 12s until vendetta up last week
he said to just pop vendetta earlier in the rotation
to make sure it's up for 2nd burn
Yep
Kk
Yeah I mean vendetta will help get bleeds up faster anyways since it gives energy iirc?
Maybe I can get our disc priest to go NF after reset

Is faeries from their nf leggo?
Or just cov ability
Cov ability
the real tech is to actually sync sepsis with shiv and vanish instead of when it pops
but idk i haven't tried it yet

the apl right now has shiv like halfway through the sepsis cast for some reason
have they even fixed AR/SB on assa?
Isn’t dashing scoundrel good too
hidden m+ giga dps
I’m either going to craft scoundrel on my alt rogue today or swap to Venthyr tomorrow and make the Venthyr leggo
In m+? Not really
you can do both 🙂
farmable cinders
Necro zoldyck next week 👀
I don’t have the memory for zold yet or I’d make that
