when it's that far behind

#

that's not really an option is it KEKW

ebon notch
#

Idk if I was being shit on by the rest of the raid then I'd feel pressured myself

marble hemlock
#

Hi.

ebon notch
#

Sub is just so boring

balmy condor
#

fury and arms are only slightly worse by comparison

marble hemlock
#

Have you met me?

balmy condor
#

yes we get it you're an OTP

echo geyser
#

are u doing bomb p2 and p3 @marble hemlock

balmy condor
#

you also have to raid lead on it and you don't like sub

marble hemlock
#

For 5 subs I'll swap sub and dumpster whispyrs parses within a day.

#

Calling me an otp smh

#

I wish ram, but no.

echo geyser
#

@ebon notch u bomber man p2 and p3?

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

I also play Necro assa on halondrus. How does that make you feel? Show me on the doll.

balmy condor
#

you can play whatever you'd like

marble hemlock
#

Can't play with you

balmy condor
#

I'm just saying aside from fun and comfort you have no reason to do that

karmic crystal
#

Whispyr anti-fun

balmy condor
#

if playing necro sin on halondrus is fun for you

#

and you want to play the game for fun

#

then you should play necro sin

#

100%

marble hemlock
#

Well

karmic crystal
#

He is kinda right though you should maybe get a mental health check up

#

I don’t think it’s anything serious but

#

Just to be safe

marble hemlock
#

SBS is a nice filler for whenever you have to run out of melee with missile, marileth flesh craft is goated for knockbacks and Kevin amping reclaims is great too

ebon notch
#

You know what else is great for reclaims

#

Step

#

:O

marble hemlock
#

So do you

#

but yeah dunno

#

doing ~13-14k depending on pull without big MH

#

feels alright

oak sky
#

unfortunate that you still arent playing sub rogue

#

when you have all that

marble hemlock
#

Why

#

I do more damage playing smth I enjoy

#

Most people are hurting themselves playing whats "bis" instead of what they enjoy

#

But yeah, only a select few people should probably play Assa on that fight over Sub

glass tulip
#

playing sub makes me sad im not playing assassin

#

garrote is king

oak sky
#

im just memeing it thats all

#

obviously sin is fine for most people

proven river
#

just wish sin was better in +

glass tulip
#

I have a 291 akarris neck and its gonna collect dust in my bags

clear finch
#

I did a H Halondrus run this morning and my Sin run of Halo was still higher dps. Lots of factors surely but I'm not feeling the pressure to choose one over another. I love Sin in the raid and I love Sub in M+

ashen scroll
#

sin is really fun in m+, i just wish it did more dam

#

30% buff on CT and it'd be poggers

clear finch
#

Would love Sin to be as poggers as Sub cause I enjoy the bleeding poison playstyle but I also enjoy Uber pulls of black powder spam 🤣

potent dagger
#

Make Vendetta a buff and not a debuff and it will be insane 😄

proven river
#

sin just lacks aoe. more work for less damage is how a + as sin was described and i couldnt agree more

ashen scroll
#

idk maybe its because ive played it so long but sub is just boring in m+, at least the tierset makes it a bit reactive

#

ye, sin takes way more work to do aoe

proven river
#

im still new to rogue. I used to be a warrior, and never really played a rogue outside of leveling one to 110 in legion. came back to shadowlands at the end of 9.1.5 and joined my old guild for 9.2 raids

#

just not used to the way rogue plays compared to warr

potent dagger
#

Playing sub without sylv dagger feel so bad , knowing that you miss like 5-7% damage st wise hurt my feelings XD

proven river
potent dagger
#

i know that feeling , never droped those T_T

gray hazel
#

the 30% FoK damage should help in M+ though?

#

do you guys run the FoK conduit in M+?

im like actually last

spice spire
#

Hate it

rocky sluice
#

soooo what are peoples opinions and what leggo to use on lords of dread (4set)

#

Zoldyk or duskwalker?

clear finch
#

Whichever you want homie. Does your group struggle executing? Zold. Does your group suck at mechanics? Dusk.

As far as I'm aware once you have 4p you always take Dusk no questions asked.

#

I'm a 4p gamer and won't be taking Dusk off unless we get some crazy outta nowhere nerf lol.

rocky sluice
#

nice, thanks man!

clear finch

Hahaha I'm a dual spec gamer homie!!

Sin in raid and Sub in M+

Last patch I played all 3 😅😅

How about play all3 in a single id?

#

God i hate that i cannot switch cov/conduits on the fly

if only tome allowed u to switch quickly

delicate gull
#

does main hand ilvl still matter? like if i have a 240 and a 262

steel ridge
#

Yes

#

Bigger weapon goes into the left slot

harsh haven
#

hi all! So whats the best sin mplus lego/missives/slot ... ??

signal pier
#

pins

harsh haven
#

was that supposed to be helpful ...

timid cloud
harsh haven
#

wow ... sensitive ...

timid cloud
#

There’s helpful info in those sections. They can help you & we fill in the blanks.

bleak sky
harsh haven
#

yes

#

they are

bleak sky
#

read the guide, check FAQ and you'll probably be good to go

harsh haven
#

no i had a question ... and that does not answer it ...

timid cloud
#

It does.

bleak sky
#

I'm pretty sure the guide covers it all

harsh haven
#

like read my first question

timid cloud
#

Go read it.

#

We did.

harsh haven
#

hmm ok ... lol

bleak sky
#

and pins

#

and faq

timid cloud
#

You were pointed in the right direction.

brazen zodiac
#

lol

harsh haven
#

so why craft with crit haste ... when it also says crit mas are better stats for mplus ... ?

clear finch
#

Cause you play sub in M+

#

🤣😅

harsh haven
#

or u can play whats fun and not follow the asses 😉

#

masses*

brazen zodiac
#

hey minal i hpoe ur day went great!

bleak sky
#

sup sup vita

#

hope you had a good one too

#

I just woke up so things aren't spectacular KEKW

bleak sky
#

from the FAQ

gaunt halo
#

I use crit/haste just because it's more versatile. You can use it in raid and m+ and it's not like haste is a bad stat for m+ either

timid cloud
#

I just went crit/verse because multi-spec

bleak sky
#

multispec zoldycks

timid cloud
#

Oh fuck that. Crit haste only.

#

I meant Unity. My bad.

bleak sky
#

same, I'm a lil sucker for vers

timid cloud
#

Lol

sharp forge
#

CT what does it stand for as assa?

harsh haven
#

hey srry i seemed like a unappreciative dick ... i just didnt see what i was looking for and felt pushed aside .. appologies

#

is unity for sure best on bracers tho ... only cuz u wont replace with a teir piece

jaunty kayak
sharp forge
prisma monolithBOT
#

All slots are close in output.
The best non tier slots across all specs are Belt or Wrists.
The best possible slot is likely Hands, Legs or Head.
Use a simulation to evaluate for your gear situation.

bleak sky
#

if you're not absolutely geared to the grins, 285 ilvl gear wherever possible etc etc, just craft it on belt/wrists

gaunt halo
#

What slot is "best" for a legendary depends heavily on your other gear. Wrists is just a solid all around pick with tier sets in mind

bleak sky
#

even then the slot doesn't matter that much

#

like 0.3% diff in slots

gaunt halo
#

Depending on your realm it might be worthwhile to look at other slots if those are cheaper

wicked mist
#

hi every1

#

whats your go to covenant for sin rogue

#

im having trouble deciding mine as im 50 now, just curious on your pref

misty holly
#

Venthyr does the most damage. Night Fae is close behind. Necrolord is the most fun.

wicked mist
#

yeah im thinking ven and night fae or kyrian

#

but that kyrian ability looks annoying asf

gaunt halo
#

For m+, both venthyr and necro are pretty viable, so if you're okay to play both it can really help with getting in groups

harsh haven
#

necro for mplus for sure 😉 its a blast!

misty holly
#

avoid

wicked mist
#

yeah ima avoid that for sure

#

i want to go venythr also cause the armor looks sick lmao

misty holly
#

oh, you should level up all 4 for the transmogs

harsh haven
#

venthyr for raid i think and necro for mplus

wicked mist
#

ima go for venythyr for pve and pvp

#

ty guys

#

i dont want to switch covenants and be eating crap trying to see which one i want to stick with

misty holly
#

venthyr is probably not great for pvp

#

flagellation requires a lot of uptime to be good

#

getting stunned is going to kill it.

harsh haven
#

maybe a stupid question ... can i craft a 291 piece and change the missives on it later ??

misty holly
#

other covenant powers much more consistent

harsh haven
#

ty

#

so im gonna need two duskwalkers lol ... or a doomblade 🙂

red plaza
harsh haven
#

ok didnt know that one

bleak sky
#

I think they want it for pvp?

#

crit haste / crit vers

red plaza
#

But the base which is the most costly thing imo is lost

harsh haven
#

i thought haste vers for pvp

bleak sky
#

idk

#

whatver stats they are

misty holly
#

crit does only +50% damage in pvp, it's a lot worse.

harsh haven
#

yup

misty holly
#

so anything but that.

silent tinsel
wicked mist
#

not too shabby right

marble hemlock
#

Very shabby.

delicate gull
#

in m+, do we spend combo points on crimson tempest, or just maintain the dot?

#

nvm found it in the faq

balmy condor
#

Damn

#

The guy who wrote that must be some sort of ultra chad

spark scaffold
#

30% fok, that's like 10k overall increase

balmy condor
spark scaffold
#

Shoulda synced the kekws

balmy condor
#

Go to a different channel and come back

spark scaffold
#

This buff is like the mw sck buff

balmy condor
#

They’ll sync themselves

spark scaffold
#

30% of nothing is still nothing

balmy condor
#

True

oak sky
balmy condor
spark scaffold
#

If they increased the poison application of fok by 30% though... monkascheme

balmy condor
#

And if you play pk it might even be 1.5

#

How bout that

next dune
# wicked mist but that kyrian ability looks annoying asf

I've been leveling my Night Fae renown, and it's pretty good. Sepsis with shiv go well together, along with the leggo. And soulshape is always good. Sure Flag and venth is good, but if you like night Fae there's really no reason not to play it

#

The worst part about it is making sure you can stay in that haste buff that Dreamweaver gives

spark scaffold
#

Is the recommended legendary for pantheon still zoldyck after nerfs? Feels like ph3 is legit close to 1/5 of the fight atm

#

Pre-nerf they would start at 50% and after initial burst get close to zoldyck range and you'd get much higher value, now it just seems like you get a lot less duration during the dmg amp

next dune
#

Maybe Whysper or someone who knows more about sims can confirm, but I'm pretty sure a lot of sims with Dreamweaver assume you always have that haste buff with Sepsis. Which many times in reality isn't practical

subtle tundra
#

anyone killed/currently progging halondrus as sin?

#

im on bomb juggling duty and idk how feasible venth is

bleak sky
#

seli is progging as sin but necro

limber lion
#

Actually the perfect pick for Halondrus

#

Night Fae is cringe

subtle tundra
#

necro?

bleak sky
#

ye

subtle tundra
#

thats like omega inting

limber lion
#

Ye

bleak sky
#

ye but he's comfy on it so idk

bleak sky
limber lion
#

Night Fae bis covenant

#

but bad on HallyDally

#

Slam a Sepsis during the walk and watch your flowerbed get left behind

#

get a full 1.5s of value from it

#

very poggers

bleak sky
#

1.5s huge value

#

that's a whole global and a half KEKW

subtle tundra
#

but then cant you play another soulbind?

#

surely its better than necro

#

on pure ST

bleak sky
#

aren't the other soulbinds giga cringe though

limber lion
#

As Venth you pretty much get full value most of the time, sometimes you have to go drop off debuffs but that's not too bad

limber lion
#

But Seli doesn't play by the rules

#

You shouldn't look at his choices

subtle tundra
#

an anomaly

bleak sky
#

die hard necro

limber lion
#

He doesn't do the correct openers or anything either

timid cloud
#

My boy Brian hates the fairies.

limber lion
#

That's fine

#

But if you want to play optimally

#

you should play Venth

#

and it's not even close

#

Especially on HallyD

subtle tundra
#

ye, sometimes i get a fucky flag but surely thats better than NECRO

#

😔

limber lion
#

Kyrian is better than Necro

#

so yeh

timid cloud
#

Just thinking about my Shiv’s on Crab…

warm drift
#

Do you cloak the knockback or position good?

timid cloud
#

I’m getting war flashbacks.

warm drift
#

Because 1 step

limber lion
#

it's a bit int

#

You want to save it for actual good defensive usage

#

Better to lose out on 3s of uptime

warm drift
#

So you have to position good?

limber lion
#

than die to beams or the meteor

subtle tundra
#

in p1 i cloak debuff out of me during vendetta so i dont have to wait for dispell

limber lion
#

Yes, position well

#

Shadowstep

drowsy parcel
#

was venthyr yesterday and did some big pumpin

marble hemlock
limber lion
#

Just gotta keep in mind that Seli is topping the meters whilst also doing raidleading

marble hemlock
#

Not topping. Nerf Demolocks and DH

limber lion
#

So trying to incorporate some Venth snapshot shenanigans on top of leading is probs more int than just playing what you're comfortable with

marble hemlock
#

But yeah, I explained it earlier. I like the comfortability of Necro, knockback immunity is neat, so is having a good filler for when you have to run out of melee, which happens a lot in a melee-heavy lineup

#

And since no one wants to be my friend, having Kevin at least gives me someone to snuggle up with

limber lion
#

It's not too late to get Deathspike buffed COPIUM

marble hemlock
#

I'd settle for SBS resetting to 5 charges on a wipe

#

Love wiping when I have just used up all my SBS

#

And then starting a pull with 2 charges

limber lion
#

Yeh that's a bit cringe ngl

marble hemlock
subtle tundra
#

/break 2

drowsy parcel
#

juggling bombs is very hectic with the venthyr build

marble hemlock
#

Havent played Venthyr on the fight yet, dunno how it lines up with missiles/debuffs etc or being a bomb commando

drowsy parcel
#

but its a lot of fun so far, i dont mind wiping for another week

warm drift
#

I am benched for halodri sadly

subtle tundra
marble hemlock
#

Overall I still feel like Necro is a very comfortable progression choice, as both Fae and Venthyr require quite a lot more complex and precise play which is hard to really do well

warm drift
#

Fight looks hectic but also cool

limber lion
#

Yeh

#

Necro is definitely the easiest out of the bunch

#

Would not recommend Night Fae on it whatsoever

marble hemlock
#

Yeah, dunno if you have Flag+Vend for 1st Reclaim

limber lion
#

You don't

#

Vendetta comes up, Flag doesn't

marble hemlock
#

That kinda sucks

limber lion
#

Flag is like 5-10s too late

marble hemlock
#

Dunno how it lines up for 2nd. I'm guessing you just skip 2nd

#

But we 5heal, so having some dam for p2 reclaim is nice as well

drowsy parcel
#

guy in my guild linked this

limber lion
#

Yeeh just talked about that in our guild discord as well

marble hemlock
#

Unless someone has a video on that

#

I call selidoubt

#

Cause it was tried in the early progression days, and it did not lead to a kill.

#

But yeah, dunno how good Venthyr is overall for reclaim damage

#

I guess if you play like 3 boomies its more than fine

#

But I'm usually #3 behind our boomies on it

hollow escarp
#

not sure if I hate fae or venthyr more starege

#

so used to press shiv on cd I often forget to keep it for 2nd vendetta as fae LULW

rotund oak
#

venthyr is kinda cringe

#

fae is fiiiine

#

kinda inclined to like necro more

#

dunno why

limber lion
#

Venth bis

subtle tundra
#

anyone simmed PI on venthyr with the changes?

rotund oak
#

im playing venthyr no matter what,it just goes higher

subtle tundra
#

i mean, to compare to other specs

#

correctly

rotund oak
#

the only thing that kinda leaves me skeptical is when i lose like 3sec on a flag

subtle tundra
#

now that demo wont be getting all the PIs

rotund oak
#

makes me wanna cry

#

everytime

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

externals peepoChrist

limber lion
#

Still 1k behind Demo

subtle tundra
#

demo got nerfed

limber lion
#

Well 700 behind Fire mage then

#

And like 300-400 behind Destro

hollow escarp
#

tbf it's not fun when your spec is a PI target

limber lion
#

It's like 900 dps

versed mica
#

anyone find out how much of a dps increase FoK buff is for M+ sin?

#

I assume it's basically nothing but I gotta know

hollow escarp
#

it's not live yet, right?

versed mica
#

it ain't, it boots up on reset

bleak sky
versed mica
#

sin beats sub in M+ now right????

hollow escarp
#

yeah, if they play with one dagger

versed mica
hollow escarp
#

sub is way too strong in m+ right now

#

compared to outlaw and assa

proven river
#

How necessary is haste on sin? Could I use sub gear, or do I need to get a 2nd set

hollow escarp
#

haste is pretty good, but you should run a top gear for assa

rotund oak
#

their conneciton fails

#

a meteorite falls from the sky

#

massive earthquakes

#

hurricanes

#

stuff like that can impact to an extend making possible sub loses to assa

hollow escarp
#

we may be 7k overall behind on damage, but at least we're having fun COPIUM

#

see what happens if you play assa in M+?

#

it wasn't the 5 deaths to spiteful PEPW

subtle tundra
hollow escarp
#

I use it on my focus target

#

so I get to swap faster to it for bleeds refresh

#

sucks in some dungeons like Plaguefall where I want to vendetta the Spinebreaker but focus the Plaguebinder for kicks

#

but the spinebreaker is big enough so I can just click it without searching 10 sec for it 🙂

subtle tundra
#

i have assigned kicks in basically all the dungeons

#

so i have focus kick

hollow escarp
#

I also use focus for kick mostly

#

but it's also easier to target swap to focus like that

cedar yew

hello quick question, is it viable to have duskwalker's and unity on both rings?

wild beacon
#

the rings are unique-equipped afaik meaning you can't

cedar yew
#

oh right, ty

#

I use double leggo rings on my mage, it works

Anyone know how to add Unity on helm and/or Duswalker's Loop on the ring in the droptimizer?
I cannot find the IDs of them in the wowhead...

violet hemlock
pseudo hamlet
#

Not "Top gear", the droptimizer

violet hemlock
#

ooh

#

why?

versed cobalt
#

For raid is maintaining SND important w the venth build - I’m getting close to 90% uptime on pure single target doing 11-12K

#

I find myself like fuck either I can refresh bleeds

violet hemlock
#

snd gets maintained by pressing envenom

versed cobalt
#

Or I can env

bleak sky
#

your strongest buff

pseudo hamlet
#

Was wondering because it shows me that unity on helm and duskwalker on ring are currently highest simming options for me.

limber lion
versed cobalt
#

Like w crimson tempest uptime I find myself dumping CP into it esp and barely have time to env

violet hemlock
pseudo hamlet
limber lion
#

It is the most important ability to keep up

versed cobalt
#

Ok

#

So u telling me I can pump even harder

bleak sky
versed cobalt
#

I like dis

limber lion
#

You just use the bare minimum of Envenom's to keep it up

versed cobalt
#

Like 1 CP-2CP envs ok?

limber lion
#

No

bleak sky
#

max-1

#

for all finishers

limber lion
#

Always 4-5

versed cobalt
#

Kk

limber lion
#

But you don't have to spam it 5 times in a row

versed cobalt
#

Yeah env is p low on my overall damage

#

I think maybe just more planning on my end

pseudo hamlet
hollow escarp
#

envenom should be low as venthyr

versed cobalt
#

I’m at like 85% SNd Uptime but I need to be better about envenomjng

#

I’m just so used to not tracking it as assasination

bleak sky
#

you track it as sub as well so

versed cobalt
#

I know I know

pseudo hamlet
#

Tbh they should delete SnD for assa

violet hemlock
#

it was only readded in sl

subtle tundra
#

if snd ever drops, youre doing something wrong

violet hemlock
#

with cut its soo free to maintain

#

nathria was aids tho

#

no cut to the chase

hollow escarp
#

we got ctc in 9.0.5 though

#

before that assa was heavily undertuned anyway

solid socket
#

So with the Flag snapshot, do we delay vendetta 3-4 sec for Flag to come of cd?

limber lion
#

Yes

hollow escarp
#

sometimes even more than 3-4 sec

trail locust
#

@limber lion hello

pseudo hamlet
#

It's normal that MA and MfD sims higher than Subt and DS? 🤔 4PC + double lego (unity+duskwalker)

marble hemlock
#

As venthyr that's normal, yes

#

Check the pins for more info on it

rotund oak
sick aspen
#

when simming for bosses like vg/panth do we use dungeon slice or patchwerk and just increase the number of bosses?

limber lion
#

You can sim both styles and see how the results compare

#

Just sim 4 targets for Pantheon

sick aspen
#

Thanks @limber lion

odd heath
#

@limber lion are we slamming shiv on CD or holding to line up for vendettas?

For example. After the first shiv+vend (+- 9s into fight) we use shiv again at 34s, and the third usage is available at 59s. If we use now, the next usage is on 84s, which will be in the middle of vendetta, and not in the beginning.

The thing is, we hold for the combo and lose cast through the fight or slam on CD and line 1 shiv into vendetta, but not in the beginning

limber lion
#

Just hold it to line it up

#

You have to hold for Flag anyways

odd heath
#

Hmmmm.. ok thx

solar stump
#

@limber lion are you swapping between nadjia / theotar for specific bosses?

#

or is nadjia a meme

spice spire
#

Nadjia you’d run if you low rolled tea, otherwise theotar is mostly the play

ebon notch
#

Nadjia for assa and theotar for sub m+

#

Then you rng roll haste tea and scramble to change your conduits

solar stump
#

sadge

limber lion
#

But it is what it is

solar stump
viscid spear
#

Yeah, can't rely on a 1/4 chance to get your preferred tea unless you spend however many hours rolling it until you do and then logging off that character until you raid.

placid dawn
#

so, without haste tea nadija is better?

when the sepsis end and active vendeta does trigger the 4 set bonus also?

Might want to read toxic onslaught again. You don't get the CD from your spec

fallen fable
#

Guys can someone tell me. On opener what if mutilate gives 3cp. Should i force another to have 5 combo flag->rupture ?

fallen fable
#

what with garrote overcap it after second mutilate or after rupture

limber lion
#

You just garrote at max cp if it comes to that

#

If Muti gives you 3 cp and you play MFD, you should just garrote - flag - rup

#

If Muti gives you 2 cp, then you Muti again followed by garrote

#

Always finishing at 4-5CP

fallen fable
#

Havent had 2cp yet ever. Yeah i know 4-5 but though its worth to overcap it as its opener and burst.

Thank you very much helped me alot

how do we add items to raidbots without having them?

#

im not the smartest raidbots guy here

echo geyser
#

droptimizer

normal mist
#

hmmm cant see the crafted section

echo geyser
#

crafted u can do gearcompare maybe

normal mist
#

aka 262 items

echo geyser
#

otherwise youll have to import string from wowhead (its a bit more steps)

#

gear compare works

normal mist
#

aight let me test it

echo geyser
#

u add new gear sets if u wanna compare multiple sets/items

normal mist
#

yeah exatly what im going to do, thx ram 😛

echo geyser

its funny because i was trying out my gear and different sets for my sub spec and...

when in vendetta with 4pc, do i follow the same refresh rules? like, at 5cp rupture refresh with 7s left or do have to lower that amount to like 3s since the dot lasts less time?

@slow marsh so another stupid question how do i sim the teas?

As you all know, we received a 30% buff to our Fan of Knives damage earlier. This is a very minor buff. The buff comes to about a 1% increase in Dungeon Slice, and even with the buff, our AoE dps potential is still massively lagging behind Subtlety.

However, with the most recent buff to Assassination, we no longer use Mutilate on 3-target scenarios.

Previously we used Fan of Knives as a means to spread poisons on 3T, but mainly sticking to Mutilate as a generator. We no longer want to do that and instead use Fan of Knives as our main generator at 3+ targets. We strictly Mutilate at 1-2 targets and FoK at 3+ targets.

The combo points are gonna be miserable

Fuck

I agree.

bleak sky
#

N -> subtlety

spice spire
limber lion
#

But I'd like to remind ya'll that 3T scenarios are pretty rare honestly

subtle tundra
#

it already is horrible

limber lion
#

Usually it's 1-2 targets or many more

#

like 5+

oak sky
#

Whats worse than having 4+ targets to possibly crit on? Having 3 targets to ppssibly crit on

limber lion
spice spire
#

30% of 0 is still 0 Sinscheme

Do you think they'll ever change the crit mechanic on FoK? PU_PepeOld

limber lion

Ever?

#

Maybe

spice spire
#

It would ruin my immersion CryBoy

limber lion
#

We rarely see any crazy updates to our spec honestly

i doubt it, would be nice if they made it like shuriken storm

But who knows

They might go crazy one expansion and rework every single class/spec

That’s all they got in the tank

#

Sub has had some pretty dog water tiers.
It’s not bad for them to enjoy a tier 🙂

limber lion
#

But then again

#

who wants to play a casino spec

#

Rather do the same amount of damage every pull

#

than fluctuate 5k one way or the other

Thanks Bryan.

me, when even with bad rng it still does more than assa

We should be happy we can actively play both specs

#

We should be happy we only get abused when they're drunk.

thorn fjord

Only when they're drunk?

Will I get 5CP or 1CP this FOK?!

thorn fjord
#

30% dmg increase tho

One things for sure. Your fan still won't do damage either

How about both

Remember when we had no fall dmg?

sub also gets to sprint on water

wut

sprint on wata??

limber lion
#

Yes Sub op

hot chasm
#

Playing Kyrian sub made me gag

slow marsh
#

Because you did too much damage or what

hot chasm
#

get triggered when i get a combo point 0.5 sec before i try to hit a charged one

#

I'm paying to much attention on hitting the animacharged ones i think

#

need 1 more tier for 4pc, then its back to assassination

cobalt hemlock
#

with the FoK buff is the worth to take the fok conduit or still no

slow marsh
#

No

#

Fan still does no damage

cobalt hemlock
#

in dungeon during my vendeta i should always tried to reaply the dots on the target right instead of aplying to different ones for energy

#

with 4p ofc

slow marsh
#

Yeah you should make sure you have dots on your vend prio but it probably won't make that big of a difference overall either way

north current
#

maybe someone can help with assassination spec. Going raids and my logs to low. I dont know what i doing wong. Maybe someone can help and tell some tips? 🙂

limber lion
#

Link your logs and we'll take a look

north current
#

Tryed rygelion but on tohers bosses same logs

#

others

#

maybe stats low 38crit and 21 haste

Those stats are more than fine

and stats dont matter 99% of the time

can we soak night hunter in mythic pantheon by evasion?

k thx

how does shadowgrasp totem work exactly?

like i drop it at my feet and it does dmg

#

but if the mob runs away does it still do dmg or it has to stand on it

echo geyser
#

it has very long range

#

like 40-70yrds something

#

60 maybe

#

u just need to target a mob and itll attack

cold rampart

not aoe ?

#

or random targets

echo geyser

its single target

#

on the mob u are targetting

#

when u "aoe" are u not targetting a mob ?

honestly, fuck halondrus

im too tired during raid time for a boss this hard

one question about the pi sims

#

is it accurate for assa rogue?

#

is it with venth?

spice spire
#

Yes

#

But also try to push it to like

#

6/126/246 instead of the standard 0

vestal wren
#

good call, but only for venthyr

#

updated it in the spreadsheet

#

(not a dramatic change, but puts the average from 6.1% increae to 6.3%)

ripe gulch
#

ight ❤️

#

another thing

#

anyone else feel like skolex is fukcing annoying

#

i get flag and vendetta before cancelling the boss cast

#

forgot the name

everything is scripted you just gotta not suck and you eventually kill

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

limber lion
#

@north current

#

Most weakaura-packs have pandemic built in, where the bleed will start glowing when it's under a certain duration threshold.

#

So then you know when it's safe to reapply the bleed without wasting resources

ripe gulch
#

what if i dont use weakauras 😛

north current
#

i seen it when rapture i weak aura starts to glow, 8s left maybe

limber lion
#

omega inting if you play Assa without weakauras/cd trackers

ripe gulch
#

im omega inting then

limber lion
#

That's when you want to reapply Rupture again

#

you never let it drop

north current
#

aaa ok

ripe gulch
#

i still have doubts on how to play vendetta window

#

i usually throw 2 envenoms

#

but i feel like i should only use one

#

cuz i fall behind in dots

north current
#

it is possible to put flag and vandeta to 1 macro?

limber lion
ripe gulch
limber lion
#

Just use 2 separate buttons

ok, ty for info

tropic echo
#

i kinda wish CT was baseline so that assassination could get a talent similar to shuriken tornado

like hurricane of knives xd

trim cairn
#

I wish assassination got mongoloid high cleave damage to compensate for the insane loss in utility by not having shadow dance tbh

#

Or any sort of extremely high damage

#

So fucking sad that you can just spec sub, go into a m+ with 10x utility and press 2 buttons and do more aoe than an assa rogue's wet dream

#

Meanwhile assa has low damage on FoK, inconsistent CP gain for whatever wanker in blizzard deemed it to make the rotation "interesting" etc

stiff garden
#

At least you arent outlaw

#

You can be happy about that

tropic echo
#

but but 30% fok buff

#

or whatever it is

silent tinsel
#

I feel assassination is the weakest thematically

#

The name suggests maximum instant kill burst, it's a dot spec tho

stiff garden
#

Assassination can mean any form of ways to end someones life

tropic echo
#

assassination implies discreetly

stiff garden
#

^

tropic echo
#

but honestly like

subtlety is more thematically the "assassination" spec

#

backstab

shadowstrike

"symbols of death"

literally shurikens

the spec is thematically a ninja lol

#

literally has fucking shadow clone jutsu

stiff garden
#

Ive always thought it to be weird how they are still called "Subtlety"

#

Meanwhile combat gets a pistol and renamed to "Outlaw"

tropic echo
#

nothing subtle whatsoever about their 4pc aoe burst

stiff garden
tropic echo
#

they could've just named it "pirate rogue"

but that sounds too generic i guess

silent tinsel
#

They are called subtlety because they don't have gouge I guess

tropic echo
#

also kinda clashes

"pirate" sounds like a class name rather than a spec name

stiff garden
#

Outlaw is fine imo

#

Cutthroat or Swashbuckler could be poggers

tropic echo
#

also

silent tinsel
#

Main gauche means parrying dagger but there is no defensive attribute to the ability

tropic echo
#

"pirate rogue" might give some people ptsd

lofty gazelle
#

Question, does dashing scoundrel increase crit chance on poisons for all targets or just your main?

tropic echo
#

xd

stiff garden
#

We have more things to worry about than our spec name atm SucksMan

tropic echo
#

the name "outlaw" has a very roguey vibe to it, i like it

it's a bleed

which one? monkaW

the one where garrote doesn't apply poison?

#

Garrote and Rupture both

#

And Shiv

hollow escarp
#

that was so long ago

#

I even forgot it's a bug

#

or if it got fixed

fleet anchor
#

Accidental feature

#

They did randomly fix Main Gauche not triggering poisons at some point recently. With not a patch note in sight. Would think they would want to take credit for their bug fixes!

hollow escarp
#

maybe accidental fix?

viscid spear
#

They'd have to admit they made the mistake in the first place

fleet anchor
#

lol possible

#

You know they always phrase things like a minor issue

#

“Resolved an issue that could occasionally cause Main Gauche not to trigger poisons”

#

And by “occasionally” we mean “100% of occasions”

is assa better than sub for for pvp ? :D

HC Earthbreaker, isn't there a WA for it? monkahmm

wild nebula
#

So question for the addon genius is here. What addon would you recommend I use to track my DPS and my rotation? I use details right now and I don't think it's working properly. No my rotation isn't great but it shouldn't be as bad as details is saying

zinc frost
#

Just use WCL, log your fights and check out your rotation there

wild nebula
#

Thank you! I'll download that tomorrow.

kindred rapids
#

As a last resort you can always modify details to show the DPS you think you should be doing

#

That's what I do

fleet anchor
#

As a note, I have integrated the CT-oriented APL changes mentioned by @limber lion in his pin. Should be in tonight's nightly build. Sample sequence table enjoyers can rejoice!

viscid spear
#

FoK and CT tech, what a time to be alive

fleet anchor
#

Had to make a few minor tweaks to work for other specs but nothing fundamentally different from the pin.

#

As a fun note, this actually ended up being a minor DPS gain for CT with Necrolord too

#

0.5% or so

viscid spear
fleet anchor
#

Nightly APL also has the change to the FoK target threshold so should be good to go with the hotfix

wild nebula
#

I mean my damage meter barley broke 2k in a Mists +4. And we timed. Quite sure I was doing more than that

Dumb question but i am currently simming about 11k patchwerk with the 2 set. Is the 4 set gonna make that big of a diff? Im way behind va my guildmates but the majority of them have their 4 sets.

clear finch
#

4p is Gainsville and you change your legendary. I have vendetta every minute with 4p + dusk.

steel ridge
#

4pc is almost 20%

#

It yeeted my sim from 11.9 to 14k, so yeah its a big difference

#

(Worse ilvl pieces)

vestal wren
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
vestal wren
#

4p can be even abouve 20% depending on covenant

#

*above

steel ridge
#

Kyrian kekw

vestal wren
#

it still exists, and is quite good

steel ridge
#

Better than before it seems, yea

#

Big gains

vestal wren
#

problem with kyrian is not kyrian by itself

#

but rather that the covenant does not interact with the spec in a similar way the other do

#

necrolord gets benefit from the mastery and tier set
night fae benefits from TO and the 4p
Venthyr can get ahead due to the haste snapshotting with 4p
Kyrian, just offers slightly higher cp income that is for assassination not super impactful

rotund oak
#

Creation catalyst is on the 12th or 19th of April aight?

#

holyshit cringe fae is massive

gusty mirage
#

12th

#

it opens with a 1week cd though

#

iirc

clear finch
#

I love Fae Sin. Feels good. The added mobility with soulshape since we don't have double step is also nice.

rotund oak
# gusty mirage iirc

that means we get to use it 1st time on the 19th,or we get to use once and put it on a week cd

gusty mirage
#

use it once then it gets put on a 1 week cd

clear finch
#

Use it immediately and puts it on CD

gusty mirage
#

so you can craft 1 tier piece on the 12th, and a 2nd on the 19th

#

idk how quick the cd reduces

rotund oak
#

yeah thats what i thought

gusty mirage
#

but they said it'll eventually shorten to like a day

#

or something like that

clear finch
#

It starts accumulating charges once a week starting with the first charge.

rotund oak
#

ive done it on ptr but couldnt rly get used on the ''introduce'' idea

#

its fine,so we stack up valor

clear finch
#

So Alts could technically make a full set after 4 weeks.

rotund oak
#

and upgrade our pieces to 272

#

once a week

#

and live the assa dream

gusty mirage
#

Catalyst charges will start relatively rare (1/week) then accelerate in acquisition rate as the patch moves towards the future. These values will gradually accelerate over time, to the point where eventually you will be earning a charge every other day.

#

with no clarification of what the "acceleration rate" is

rotund oak
#

💦

#

yeah

#

thats what rly confused me

#

im gonna pump so much dam

#

holysht

#

cant wait

#

unless ofc i loot a huge tier piece this week and get 4p

#

then ill pump a bit earlier

#

😅

vestal wren
#

and after 4 months or so maybe be 1 per day

#

charge every other day.

#

does this mean it will never go to once per day?

gusty mirage
#

seems that way

rotund oak
#

dont rly think it matters that much

#

since u can craft a set in practically a week

vestal wren
#

you have 8 gear slots potentially

rotund oak
#

its 5

vestal wren
#

no

#

8

rotund oak
#

wait what 8

#

u mean waist and feet

#

yeah

#

yy

vestal wren
#

but you can't upgrade all of them, but boots/belt seem interessting

#

also hands

rotund oak
#

yeah

fair glade
#

hey guys any advises on wich part to craft the legendaries and how about zoldick insignia is it still fine in MM+ with 4p fae?

rotund oak
#

i mean,for the actual tier bonus

#

rest will most likely get from m+

vestal wren
#

the thing is, not everyone has tier yet

rotund oak
#

yeah

vestal wren
#

so if you are unlucky you will initially "waste" a charge for just getting your tier bonus

#

so you will need to re-craft it later

#

same with if you don't have max itemlevel for the slot

rotund oak
#

yeah that makes sense

#

im just stockpilling valor rn

vestal wren
#

so worse case you need quite some time to have it become "useless"

rotund oak
#

for catalyst

vestal wren
#

also for m+ players

#

from what i head, you can keep leech/avoidance on items

rotund oak
#

yes u can

#

can confirm

#

it was a thing even on ptr

#

so,as it seems we recraft unity to wrist crit/haste now for assa

#

keep dusk for ring

vestal wren
#

so you have a long term goal too

#

of getting leech on every piece

#

XD

rotund oak
#

😅

#

im going on avoidance

vestal wren
#

btw. 📈

#

17k now

rotund oak
#

got massive crit/haste 278 boots with avoidance alraedy

#

im gonna pump so much

#

💦

fair glade
#

hope i will get 4p tomorrow or a weapon

rotund oak
#

got a 278 wpn already

fair glade
#

😮

rotund oak
#

voracious ^^

fair glade
#

:3

vestal wren
#

i got a nice 278 belt

#

and phial 278

#

the rest of my vaults are coins

rotund oak
#

im gonna go with sigil + totem unless i actually loot phial

fair glade
#

i don't have any 278 all my chest where set piece but already got phial and a weapon 272

rotund oak
#

my assa is gonna be MASSIVE this tier

#

ive been waiting for it for so long

#

even from ptr it was looking and felt amazing

fair glade
#

assa is the only spec i actually like atm but MM+ is actually a problem i think i got some good stats and stuff but can't go voer 10k overall :/

rotund oak
#

rogue is not there for overalls

#

sub is the go hands down for m+

#

venth sub

#

Simple and easy/pretty cheap to go around with leggo crafting

can't hold all the sockets i guess

vestal wren
#

huh, venthyr beating necor now 👀

oak sky
#

not surprising

vestal wren
#

unsure

rotund oak
#

for soulely ST it should

vestal wren
#

venthyr was ~2% or so behind necro, and there wasn't a big change for it to be ahead on dungeon slice

#

for single target, it went from 16.9k to 17k

#

for pantheon estimate it went to 33k, so slightly more but not significant

#

but 17k without a requirement of sylvans dagger, vs. 17k with a requirement of a mythic one

#

means sin should be in a very good position

rotund oak
#

love assa this tier

#

100% chad specc

vestal wren
#

it is sadly the only spec that got a interessting set bonus

#

(that is also quite overtuned, what is part why its interessting)

rotund oak
#

yeah its very big

#

the spike in dps is quite alot

#

(4p)

vestal wren
#

tier set of sin is above what sub tier set was pre nerf

#

so kind of weird that if similar impact was the aim of the sets

#

that sin one survived like this

rotund oak
#

sub tier is lower target cleave,dunno if it will compare to assa in the source of a couple of months

#

with the minmaxing and optimizations assa should outshine sub

#

especially for ST

vestal wren
#

you mean in general?

rotund oak
#

for raids mostly

#

general idk

vestal wren
#

i am unsure if you talk about your perception, or what you think will happen in logs?

rotund oak
#

my personal opinion

#

clearly mine

eager river
rotund oak
#

nothing with logs

#

just an estimation

hollow dirge
vestal wren
#

i mean i do rogue theorycrafting for 5 years and my observations:

  • if sin is ahead by a bit, everyone plays sin
  • if outlaw is ahead by a bit, it rarely gets played a lot even if it would be theoretically the best spec
  • if sub is close to sin, it gets played but not a lot
  • if sub is ahead of sin, you still often come to a 50/50 split between the two specs in terms of players
#

you just saw it last tier

hollow dirge
vestal wren
#

sin/sub are very close with sin slightly behind in sims

#

yet you had a 50% split between both

#

first tier, sin was buffed to be slightly ahead of the other 2 specs

rotund oak
#

Assa will win in the end
Sapzilla 5/4/2022 11:18

#

i also take the burden of a ''prophecy''

vestal wren
#

this was the amount of logs from the current aviable wcl statistics

hollow dirge
vestal wren
#

just to showcase how sin will be dominant

#

if it gets ahead

rotund oak
vestal wren
#

thats 4000% of sub logs in cn

Sin feels easier to progress raiding with as well

#

I feel bad that they realised how behind sin is on aoe and still went with such a silly buff to fok. I guess with venthyr, it’s a slightly higher gain than it was as necro, but it would be super nice not to get kicked out of m+ grps for being the coolest rogue spec

frosty cedar

Sin definitely rarely seen spec this tier, even though sub is for plebs
