W bro dont listen to the haters (vel) (hes bad)
Sim doesn't seem to be showing anything, is there a meaningful difference between having sinful/guidance on different hands?
Nah
so not worth re-enchanting to put sinful on my mh?
Nah just roll with what you have
yeah sick
nearly 220ilvl with no boosts, have been 60 since like monday morning lmao
feels so slow atm though, since all the queues are high keys
Good luck to you
Im sure itll pick up and you can manage whatever goals you have or just enjoy the ride
gearing alts feels real bad this tier because of being behind on shard sets
I just gave up on alts til next tier
I’ve been away for 6 months so excuse the dumb question..the sylvanas dagger at 233, is it better than a 246 in my OH (I’ve been hella unlucky with daggers as a lot of us have I’d imagine) my MH is a 252. Sims tells me the 246 is a 29% upgrade
Cheers
Kubu are you playing eu alliance
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
haha, i forgot that we added that command a while ago
P cool
Yo any stream suggestions for assa-raiding?
press your buttons
Yea fuu ahah. I know my assa things but needed to find the % for others classes 🥸
no, fun commands only work in #off-topic and #bot-spam
guys theotar or nadija?
If you roll crit tea, theo
If you roll haste, probably also theo
If you roll agi tea, ehhhhh
Probably a toss up
probably still theo
But still theo cause fatal flaws is some bullshit
You’re my fav

You’re a good green man

stupid quesiton because i couldnt find anything in the search: how do flayedwing toxin, weapon poison, sharpenining stone and wf interact? like, can I have all of them at the same time?
not a stupid question at all
you can have all of them up
only things that would overwrite: mindnumbing vs crippling poison, wound vs deadly (or wound vs instant for outlaw/sub), and sharpening stones vs shadowcore oil
yeah, i know you can't have 2 lethal or 2 nonlethal poisons, and stone vs oil, just wasnt sure about the other categories
So you’re telling me...
You don’t like VersatillaTEA?
You don’t really like AgilaTEA?
....
So CritTEAcal strike is the move, correct?
stop being so hasTEA

Are you good Ice?

are you oxi-tocin?
!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.
no i'm playing surv hunter, how could i be
i sorry bud
does assa profit from this? or noone runs it
we have no burst and mastery sucks
the only spec in the game that runs that is sometimes boomkin
i mean for m+
for m+ you're better off running like 15 other trinkets
ye havent played so im just wondering if its good. ty

Sims tellin me Dashing Scoundrel is 300 dps higher than obedience.. this doesn't sound right? I thought they were closer in single target damage
link sim
they are once you have better gears
I don't have complete frost set yet, still need one shard
Going to run a sim without either equipped (with zol)
I got you rn one sec
it'll get closer when you get r5 frost
What did you do different?
topgear just gets a little weird to read when you're simming a bunch of different stuff
I just took the profile w/ dashing & ST talents from your original topgear and broke it down so it was just obe vs dashing
Ok, thanks!
no problem 
where are all the vault keys?
people either gave up or got their shit already
frick
Upside down people playing in the future.
I don't celebrate new year's
Just got back from pub. Happy new day x

All I wanna do is sleep but I'm playing bad board games
New Years monopoly 
I’ve had many years of 7 am nights due to that piece of shit game
No my friends are those people who play really obscure board games
I just wanna play Monopoly or Scrabble but we're playing Qwirkle

i just wanna have friends
same
to play board games with

What are your favorite board games?
checkers
uno
go fish
2020 PT III inc.


i still wouldn't mind if they nerfed the 2p but tweaked the 4p around
true but depending on where 2p falls we might be weakish spec
snapshot helps dusk a ton
They havent done direct class tuning yet
true i'd take that too
If we assume they want tier ironed out before class changes we're chilling
my desire to see 4p tweaked a bit to be directly stronger on its own is through the lens that we dont get tuning
Does Exsanguinate work on SBS ?
No
Seems fair
It does work with the 4p though
Exsangue or SBS ?
Sbs
oohh
But can't "stack" ? Like after 5 vendetta it's 500% faster something like that
Lmao god no
😅
That was a bug during 9.1 ptr and the servers literally crashed
oooh i see

They logged back in, got kicked to oribos
Funny
Then someone dropped a turnip in oribos
Crashed oribos
Then the entire server just went down
We probably won’t even get to test it at 100%
It’ll get nerfed before it gets put in
it's very strong but i hope it will not be nerfed
It either gets nerfed now and they tune around it or they nerf it a few weeks in and we don’t get compensated for what will probably be a bit of a heavy-handed nerf
The latter will not be an option. We already know it's going to get nerfed soon.
are you lining up all flags/vendettas except the last if it gets you an extra flag, or do you send all on cd except line up the last flag/vendetta?
The latter
We want as many casts of both as possible, only syncing them if we won't miss out on casts
On some fights it's fine to sync most of them, but udually it's better to just send
For example, on Guardian you can sync everything, and on Sylv p1/p2 you can sync
why would you sync everything on guardian then?
i assume it just matters what the fight duration is
Correct
Guardian is generally around 4min30s or a bit less
Of course it depends on your group and whatnot
If you kill it in under 4 mins, you need to reconsider how to use cooldowns
sounds good thanks
which sim presets are semi-decent for KT and sylv? dungeonslice?

can't really sim for different raid fights accurately, just patchwerk as stated above
bet
just make it up
have no more upgrades besides the last two bosses which we havent killed yet
time to grind nfae renown I guess?
This is us. Considering saving second flag/vend for umbrella

that Pantheon Prototpye 4-target cleave 👀
Korayn
In phase 3?
@limber lion would you mind linking your plater prof pls?
ty ty
also, very random. anyone know how to reorder the layers of different weakauras? I want my Miks Scrolling Battle Text to be behind everything else
idk if that's possible or not
In the Display settings of the WA, adjust the Frame Strata to High. Or maybe it's an option in the battle text addon
miks is an addon, so id make everything else high?
High frame strata will put it above everything else, even stuff like the map
Having the WA's Strata set to High, it'll go over the top of the M+ keystone thing (when you put the key in)
Like if you open up the full sized map, you'll have your weak auras on top
ah
Just as a heads up :p
okay
Just play around with it, try different settings
I put mine to high, then couldn't click the button
it's just my main weakaura rotation pack that gets overlapped by miks
nothing else really
Pretty sure you can change MSBT settings as well
frame strata as well as position
I've just moved them away from the center of the frame
and well personally I've also disabled everything else but my crits, because everything else is just clutter to me
Probably could live without any damage numbers to be honest because of Details
:P
yeah its not necessary at all. I just like seeing my crits and if anything isn't scrolling as it normally is or the numbers dont look right I know something is wrong
also like knowing which healer to thank when they save my ass lol
Yeh
ah that worked, perfect
If I'm using kyrian as assassination (just leveling it up) do I want to use the 7pt finisher on an envenom or CT in aoe situations?
You just follow the normal AoE finisher rules
If you have CT up already, you just slam an Envenom
The damage is the same, the duration is just increased
The initial damage is higher, but it's already quite small for CT, which is the reason we never want to CT spam
I've been using poisoned knife to get the boosted finisher when I'm 1 off, is this wrong and just hope for it naturally?
go for it
memory of the deathspike
how its work ?
its will be good on mythyc +
Better than zoldyck ?
relly ?
Yes
best is zoldyck ?
It's decent, but it's the worst rogue spec for m+
But it's completely fine, unless you're pushing for 25+
you might want to read #assassination-faq
I have a lot of fun in keys with sin, but I'm not pushing high keys lol
nice 👍 there is nothing wrong with playing it in keys
I've tried to learn sub for keys but I am frankly, awful
Mythic Plus: Lashing Scars >= Sudden Fractures > Poisoned Katar >= Lethal Poisons = Well-Placed Steel (edited)
from #assassination-faq
I do lashing scars, shiv one and poisoned katar
But it's preference I guess
its just a matter of practice tbh, also no need to play it if you enjoy assassination more
yeah thanks, dropping below the tank in dps overall isnt my idea of fun :p fortunately im getting carried by the rest of the group with my inflexible sin self
but i will try again maybe once we get all 20's
practice it in lower keys and work your way up
Just play more sub and your damage will go up
But if you're below the tank then you might not have gotten the basics down just yet
And you can do decent damage as sin, if you think you're not doing enough, there might be something wrong there as well
You kinda do the same thing as sub, but less damage/utility
I'd say my overall average was about 7.5k ish (dungeon dependant) on on around the 20 range
That does sound a bit low
I;ve recently switched to Obe in keys as it helps out on ST (its taken me a while)
Unless you guys are doing some weirdo small pulls for some reason
what is your sugges for tirnket
Looks like our friend needs a breakdown on top gear simming
I do phial + gland/faulty
our comp is usually dps priest, DH tank, Shaman healer, myself and then either a Hunter or more recently a Monk
so u dont use sudden fract conduit ?
You asked about trinkets
If I'm using lashing scars I couldn't possibly be using sudden fractures :p
That’s nice
Good way to make a nice impression around here
But oxi is right tho, raidbots should be your best friend
Maybe that's just me, but I think rogue and priest both do the same job in m+
Unless I don't really understand spriest
You’re asking questions no one can give you a 100% answer about, because we don’t know your character’s gear. Gearing is very character specific
Why not
@bleak sky your not wrong, but they do have some AoE potential through the DH rune etc

but were not over optimising, just running with what we have
Nah screw running meta comps
You can bang out 20s with your group ezpz
Oxi do we have a raidbots/sim quick start guide?
yeah, we need 2 more for the full set
Just the basics, nothing fancy
I would strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with raidbots, it’ll make your life so much easier, @fathom swift has a really good guide on simming on wowhead:
https://www.wowhead.com/how-to-use-raidbots-sims-stat-weights
aa
Yessir I was looking for it
❤️
ok ty
But 7.5 ish seems low low yeah, I'd look into it a bit
If you’re looking for trinkets/gear to sim for I would recommend a droptimizer sim
Even if it's top
It’ll tell you which drops in raid you should aim for
Top I tend to much better in, but even then I suspect something is missing
If your tank is not chain pulling / pulling big packs, your damage will be lower but idk

I just play sub in pugs now because I’ve yet to meet a pug tank that understands how to chain properly
Yeah I’m right there with you man
My tank trolled tf out of a spires and top
“I’ve never seen someone skip the commander pack in top”
I pug so it's always an adventure
Yeah bro? 24 top? No one’s skipped the commander? Ever?
you brave souls
Fortified top doing the commander seems a bit yikes

Your tank has to pug more tops
My tank needs to go get his brain checked out
xD
Ayo wtf
Your tank doing some jank dratnos route
We managed to time that 22 with like 18 deaths
All of which were entirely his fault
“Oops I forgot about inspiring”
Double Goliath pack and chained an inspiring into it 
Oh we did that too don’t worry
After the top I was like listen it’s New Years and I want to have some mental health going in to 2022 I’m done


I may have found another group to run with though 
And they’re in title range and want to keep it that way for themselves 
So I’ll ride the coattails for that chance
Just play dk 4Head
Lmao
You elude me
You delude me
Good

ah there is a title at 2600?
The title is for being the .1% of io score, which is around 2800
I've been pugging my m+ push until the past few weeks. Having a dedicated group is good but sheesh learning how your group communicates is like a whole 'nother io climb in itself.
Theo, triple potency, you want ideally crit or haste tea
The pug life grind 
Oxi right unless it's for m+
Theo but I want vers tea
Myself 
This mfer coming in here like the OTPolice when he playing sub 
Don't ever join their discord and you're good to go
This mfer coming in here like sin is viable in keys


9.2 is an outlaw tier boys; sorry

It’s the yellow name. They’re made fun of everywhere. Including in outlaw 
Who hurt you
yor mom
Well you see growing up my mother…
This mfer coming in here like he plays sin or keys
🤨
its a coping mechanism for us
we have so much time in between mutilates that we can build strong friendships


keep them guessing which spec they're getting today
Sorry, I gotta have the actual good classes.


That's called obedience
so monk and mage?
Mr. Cydone choose your next words very carefully 
No.



Survival good MiQ
Okay no way. I’m not a masochist.

Mr Oxi. Why does vault hate me?
Too tru
Just wait 2022 is for sure the year of the spear 
Year of the spear? Yea WW looks good you right
Woooaahh go easy on the edge boi
Which one of you madmen made this btw?
https://youtu.be/310Cc6tOirk
big true
Yeah works great with frost set when you have high crit( 40ish percent I think)
any other decents?
Obedience
for raid? beats dashing scoundrel?
No
because i use it but other assasins with dashing do more dps
That’s why dashing was suggested
Np
What dungeons favor sin - and which favor sub?
on feet or back ?
That's confusing

Maybe i'm out of it today
The only dungeon sin could be better than sub is top
Nah that dudes lost in the sauce
Yeah that's what i was thinking TOP for sure
I feel like sin is really good on top, spires and it's just ok on all others
Even other ones its good in besides top sub is better than sin
Yeah I just don't know if I should switch to sub.
for keys.
I mean i've timed 22's as top dmg and had like 3-4 minutes left over.
So I don't feel like i've hit anywhere near the potential of it yet. Granted, a good monk or mage would beat it in overall by 20% or more, but the role is different really.
Yeah you havent
I'm gonna stick with it for a while then
Sin damage is solid
I know varas, whos in here has gone up to 28s or something like that
It's just weird to be like top 10 sin rogues in keys on a server like area52 - like i just start to question what i'm doing.
So you should be safe playing it as high as you want unless youre going for world first keys or something
No, i mean the idea of getting to that title is there for me -- although I haven't checked the cutoff for it
Yeah im top 10 on tich, just since sub is better more people play it in general even though sin is close
The top folks just flock to the best (rightfully so)
Not based on class or spec
ahhhh ok
yeah that's like something achievable
I don't have a set group so
We got a few pushers in my guild, but most are content just getting 15-18's on their alts.
Well with a lot of playtime its definitely possible to pug all 25s which would bring you into 2800 range
But its tough for sure
Much easier with a squad
yeah
I think Oxi plays with my mage...
from my guild
ahh well, dinner time - thanks for the info
happy new year all
Dw, r1 and 2 are still playing sin
good to know!
Keys just feel like too much work right now
I'm sure you can get the title no prob by playing sin, it's just so much time to put into keys
I mean I don't have a whole lot else to do so lol
If im gonna grind renown of something other then Venthyr then Nightelf is probably best considering what we know from next patch?
We honestly don't know much yet, because the tier set numbers are not finalized.
But yeah, Night Fae is probably a decent choice


grinding night elf

you mean prince renethal
you mean elune's sister
wtfff
that's a stacked ass sim
need a clean up on lane 5, the 6 year old threw up
damn if only that were my job
I'll turn your lane off though
Ill catch up to vel ON JESUS
Ayo wtf
Just keep doing the weeklies buddy phial always shows up
Phial is a lie agreon
Just might be the last vault of the tier 
Wow man that's really nice! I'm super happy for you! - This message was rewritten by Ravenholdt's anti toxicity bot.

i gotta run sims again because i have identical gear to vel but 100 dps lower 🤔
it's skill difference
mm yes yes

Nelf?
truuu
Im missing a bunch of shit and im somewhere in the 12ks
night fae will do that
Shoulders pants dagger 2 and belt which may or may not be better
the best i could get with current was 12,311
imagine not having 252 phial tho

Ngl 252 phial is kinda cringe
had to swap to nadjia
Does nadjia sim higher than the crit tea sim
Thats what i figured
but its hard
I mean even the general theotar sim is higher for me rn
yeh
great now i have a reason to do m+ again thanks assholes
thought i was done with timewalking
Just don't set your foot in timewalking
didnt realise 6 fucking ilvl in one trinket could get me that
phial good
Phial big good
but yeah im still giga small brain and dont have the motivation to pay attention for 10 seconds to learn how to use raidbots properly
so i just sim normal tea chances lmao
i guess while i spam m+ ill get my necro up
thats still the m+ covenant right
for SOME dungeons
Not really
Like its good aoe but usually groups need more prio/st anyway
Idk man
I think we just send venthyr on everything
O
Isn't raiderio data fucky?
As in it's not really reliable to go off of
only reason to play necro imo would be if group doesn't have one and you're doing pf/ top but even then venth prio is just better
ye
just gonna go necro for a few days to remember the good ol days
But then you have to run zoldycks 
before we're forced into venthyr for all content
i guess it could be worse we could be forced into kyrian
oh buddy i havent made an m+ leggo this expac
dashing scoundrel all day everyday
because i CBA
15s can eat me
!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
@dawn ivy you take externals and you literally ban evade and yet you can’t evade taking this L

new to sin (last i played it was bfa). why do openers differ on the top logs. Are they waiting for winds stacks or something?
namely, when they vanish
Theres no real reason for logs to be different
Different is probably wrong
At least not in opener
hmm, tried to look in the faq and pinned but can't see an opener with dashing
Should be in the wowhead guide
i know we get our bleeds up and snd, then 3-4cp, shiv, ven / flag / vanish envenom but just wanted to see why it's different on some of the top logs for guardian, tarr etc
kk

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
Some slight differences don't make a huge difference but big ones do
Do you have any examples where the logic differs?
Because the snd, gar, flag into rup, vend shiv vanish thing
Is pretty well drilled into people
ok ty. odd, used to be env after vanish, but instead it's muti now after vanish. Whereas, in bfa and legion, folks envenomed right after vanish
kk, ty
Technically from a pure 1 pull perspective, it's better to not rely on the cp generated and env mut env 🤓
i would think playing venthyr you'd want more combo points for better flags, you get more combo points from mut env mut than you do env mut env. like sure, env mut env would be more dmg in the ma window but fights are much more than those windows.
What is our best trinket combination including legion m+?
Limit max raids as assa i believe, but i mean he isn't like a rogue main or anything but there should still be vods.
yea me
@gusty mirage also streams and swaps between sub and sin.
If only Vel streamed

when i stream I just get hate mail about having tricks on 1
why would i stream again after that man
what a shocker
Dont worry bro i have stealth on 3 😈


anyone know why my top gear is like 100 dps lower than my "current gear" when I droptomize from it?
has happened multiple times now
I assume the expert mode is crit tea?
yep
droptimizer always shows the dps you would have with the best drop equipped
^
@cerulean nest I think this one, the 11681 isn't taking the crit tea
if you sim normally with a regular tea
it's very close to that
the droptimizer does take the tea line
which is why its higher
no it does
idk what you did wrong on the top gear
because hitting run again doesn't show custom inputs
so dunno
huh
but all I know is that the top gear is equal to a regular tea sim
and the droptimizer is higher
and the math kinda adds up
to the gain of crit tea
yeah I knew that part. maybe there was some box I didnt check. weird
for what it's worth, you don't need expert mode for tea sims
it just works in the provided box
oh neat okay
think i got that advice from someone here a while back so ive just been sticking it in there ever since
yeah the #subtlety-faq one is only usable in advanced sims
Well, if you look at the raw input, they both have it at the bottom.
Droptimizer
Top gear

yeh
I know
but i guess one didnt take
so

I quick simmed his top gear with no lines and it was within 2 dps
weird for sure
Yeh it's odd for sure
I just tried it again in quick sim, with the crit tea just in the normal box
still didnt take
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gUHQCRrDjtnKsA2pSqosBN
here's a sim with crit tea
what?
not the best, but doesn't really matter too much
just get high ilvl
nothing else matters
really ?
yes
garrote and rupture should be a little higher iirc
that's fine'
u mean i must use more rapture and rapturre ?
just get more gear
oh i didn't realize
what ?
if i change
to venthyr or kryn its will boost my solo target ??
😐 or night fee
venthyr sure, don't play kyrian
Kyrian bad
so u sugges ,e venthyr ?
sure
Yes.
nightfee is bad ?
yes
hmmm
@spice spire

jk we all know NF is dog
Too late no take backsies
venthyr with legendary venthyr ?
Lady uwu will not forgive you for your sins
sure
or just venthyr zolduck
just stop thinking about stuff like that
and get more gear
choose one covenant
and stick to ti
