Idk if I was being shit on by the rest of the raid then I'd feel pressured myself
Hi.
Sub is just so boring
fury and arms are only slightly worse by comparison
Have you met me?
yes we get it you're an OTP
are u doing bomb p2 and p3 @marble hemlock
you also have to raid lead on it and you don't like sub
For 5 subs I'll swap sub and dumpster whispyrs parses within a day.
Calling me an otp smh
I wish ram, but no.
@ebon notch u bomber man p2 and p3?
if it smells like shit and it tastes like shit and it looks like shit, it's probably shit
I also play Necro assa on halondrus. How does that make you feel? Show me on the doll.
you can play whatever you'd like
Can't play with you
I'm just saying aside from fun and comfort you have no reason to do that
Whispyr anti-fun
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%
Well
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
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
Yes
You know what else is great for reclaims
Step
:O
those all sound very nice dear
So do you
but yeah dunno
doing ~13-14k depending on pull without big MH
feels alright
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
just wish sin was better in +
I have a 291 akarris neck and its gonna collect dust in my bags
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+
sin is really fun in m+, i just wish it did more dam
30% buff on CT and it'd be poggers
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 🤣
Make Vendetta a buff and not a debuff and it will be insane 😄
sin just lacks aoe. more work for less damage is how a + as sin was described and i couldnt agree more
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
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
Playing sub without sylv dagger feel so bad , knowing that you miss like 5-7% damage st wise hurt my feelings XD
i was in a pug with a sub that had double sylv daggers. we were top 2 dps. but i had no chance in hell. made me wanna go back and try to find people running heroic sanc, but i dont i have a chance at those daggers over other rogues lol
i know that feeling , never droped those T_T
toping meters and being RL at the same time
It will be barely noticeable

soooo what are peoples opinions and what leggo to use on lords of dread (4set)
Zoldyk or duskwalker?
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.
nice, thanks man!
And yet your name is blue


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
does main hand ilvl still matter? like if i have a 240 and a 262
hi all! So whats the best sin mplus lego/missives/slot ... ??
was that supposed to be helpful ...
Was that supposed to be sarcasm?




wow ... sensitive ...
There’s helpful info in those sections. They can help you & we fill in the blanks.
those are the basics in a guide
read the guide, check FAQ and you'll probably be good to go
no i had a question ... and that does not answer it ...
It does.
I'm pretty sure the guide covers it all
like read my first question
hmm ok ... lol
You were pointed in the right direction.
lol
so why craft with crit haste ... when it also says crit mas are better stats for mplus ... ?
hey minal i hpoe ur day went great!
sup sup vita
hope you had a good one too
I just woke up so things aren't spectacular 
For M+, Crit > Mastery = Haste >= Vers
(Crit and mastery gain value in aoe, haste loses value. Haste is still a good stat for us in m+, and overall all secondaries are close)
from the FAQ
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
I just went crit/verse because multi-spec
same, I'm a lil sucker for vers
Lol
CT what does it stand for as assa?
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
crimson tempest
ty
!unity
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.
if you're not absolutely geared to the grins, 285 ilvl gear wherever possible etc etc, just craft it on belt/wrists
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
Depending on your realm it might be worthwhile to look at other slots if those are cheaper
hi every1
whats your go to covenant for sin rogue
im having trouble deciding mine as im 50 now, just curious on your pref
Venthyr does the most damage. Night Fae is close behind. Necrolord is the most fun.
yeah im thinking ven and night fae or kyrian
but that kyrian ability looks annoying asf
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
necro for mplus for sure 😉 its a blast!
Kyrian is both weak and unfun =p
avoid
yeah ima avoid that for sure
i want to go venythr also cause the armor looks sick lmao
oh, you should level up all 4 for the transmogs
venthyr for raid i think and necro for mplus
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
venthyr is probably not great for pvp
flagellation requires a lot of uptime to be good
getting stunned is going to kill it.
maybe a stupid question ... can i craft a 291 piece and change the missives on it later ??
other covenant powers much more consistent
no
You can scrap it for the cinders/flux/ash cost
ok didnt know that one
But the base which is the most costly thing imo is lost
i thought haste vers for pvp
crit does only +50% damage in pvp, it's a lot worse.
yup
so anything but that.
not too shabby right
Very shabby.
in m+, do we spend combo points on crimson tempest, or just maintain the dot?
nvm found it in the faq
Damn you’re playing legion? I can’t do 1.5mil dps in keys

Shoulda synced the kekws
Go to a different channel and come back
This buff is like the mw sck buff
They’ll sync themselves
True
did a key today fok was 1% 
1.3% next week bud
If they increased the poison application of fok by 30% though... 
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
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
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
anyone killed/currently progging halondrus as sin?
im on bomb juggling duty and idk how feasible venth is
seli is progging as sin but necro
Venth is fine
Actually the perfect pick for Halondrus
Night Fae is cringe
ye
thats like omega inting
Ye
ye but he's comfy on it so idk
show me on the doll where the fairies hurt you
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
but then cant you play another soulbind?
surely its better than necro
on pure ST
aren't the other soulbinds giga cringe though
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
Yes, Niya would be better than any Necro choice
But Seli doesn't play by the rules
You shouldn't look at his choices
an anomaly
die hard necro
He doesn't do the correct openers or anything either
My boy Brian hates the fairies.
That's fine
But if you want to play optimally
you should play Venth
and it's not even close
Especially on HallyD
Just thinking about my Shiv’s on Crab…
Do you cloak the knockback or position good?
I’m getting war flashbacks.
Because 1 step
In Mythic you don't really wanna cloak just to keep uptime
it's a bit int
You want to save it for actual good defensive usage
Better to lose out on 3s of uptime
So you have to position good?
than die to beams or the meteor
in p1 i cloak debuff out of me during vendetta so i dont have to wait for dispell
ive progged a bit, one and a half raid night
was venthyr yesterday and did some big pumpin
Tbf looking at my choices is pretty helpful, cause you should just do everything different 

Just gotta keep in mind that Seli is topping the meters whilst also doing raidleading
Not topping. Nerf Demolocks and DH
So trying to incorporate some Venth snapshot shenanigans on top of leading is probs more int than just playing what you're comfortable with
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
It's not too late to get Deathspike buffed 
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
Yeh that's a bit cringe ngl

/break 2
juggling bombs is very hectic with the venthyr build
Havent played Venthyr on the fight yet, dunno how it lines up with missiles/debuffs etc or being a bomb commando
but its a lot of fun so far, i dont mind wiping for another week
I am benched for halodri sadly
first flag is late into first shield, thats all i know
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
Fight looks hectic but also cool
Yeh
Necro is definitely the easiest out of the bunch
Would not recommend Night Fae on it whatsoever
Yeah, dunno if you have Flag+Vend for 1st Reclaim
That kinda sucks
Flag is like 5-10s too late
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
guy in my guild linked this
Unless someone has a video on that
I call 
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
not sure if I hate fae or venthyr more 
so used to press shiv on cd I often forget to keep it for 2nd vendetta as fae 
venthyr is kinda cringe
fae is fiiiine
kinda inclined to like necro more
dunno why
Venth bis
anyone simmed PI on venthyr with the changes?
im playing venthyr no matter what,it just goes higher
the only thing that kinda leaves me skeptical is when i lose like 3sec on a flag
now that demo wont be getting all the PIs
Yeah, nothing really changes
externals 
Still 1k behind Demo
demo got nerfed
tbf it's not fun when your spec is a PI target
It's like 900 dps
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
it's not live yet, right?
it ain't, it boots up on reset
almost a whole percent I think

yeah, if they play with one dagger

How necessary is haste on sin? Could I use sub gear, or do I need to get a 2nd set
haste is pretty good, but you should run a top gear for assa
Technically sub can go afk or dc
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
we may be 7k overall behind on damage, but at least we're having fun 
see what happens if you play assa in M+?
it wasn't the 5 deaths to spiteful 
i dont have fun with vendetta in aoe though
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 🙂
I also use focus for kick mostly
but it's also easier to target swap to focus like that
hello quick question, is it viable to have duskwalker's and unity on both rings?
the rings are unique-equipped afaik meaning you can't
oh right, ty
I use double leggo rings on my mage, it works
probably not optimal because there are some good rings out there
you might want to equip eventually
a
b
C
D
CCC-COMBO BREAKER!
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...
top of droptimizer there is an add legendaries option
Not "Top gear", the droptimizer
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
99% uptime on snd or bust
snd gets maintained by pressing envenom
Or I can env
your strongest buff
Was wondering because it shows me that unity on helm and duskwalker on ring are currently highest simming options for me.
You can just add them via Top Gear and then copy-paste the string that you get to Droptimizer
Like w crimson tempest uptime I find myself dumping CP into it esp and barely have time to env
that also makes sense if u dontn have tier on helm
SnD should be 99%+
simmed with full 272/278ilvl set
It is the most important ability to keep up

I like dis
You just use the bare minimum of Envenom's to keep it up
Like 1 CP-2CP envs ok?
No
Always 4-5
Kk
But you don't have to spam it 5 times in a row
Thanks! Didn't know it's possible co copy the whole thing to clipboard!
envenom should be low as venthyr
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
you track it as sub as well so
I know I know
Tbh they should delete SnD for assa
it was only readded in sl
if snd ever drops, youre doing something wrong
So with the Flag snapshot, do we delay vendetta 3-4 sec for Flag to come of cd?
Yes
sometimes even more than 3-4 sec
@limber lion hello
It's normal that MA and MfD sims higher than Subt and DS? 🤔 4PC + double lego (unity+duskwalker)
Was watching the Halondrus progress y'day but fallen asleep did u kill it?
when simming for bosses like vg/panth do we use dungeon slice or patchwerk and just increase the number of bosses?
Both are fine
You can sim both styles and see how the results compare
Just sim 4 targets for Pantheon
Thanks @limber lion
@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
Hmmmm.. ok thx
@limber lion are you swapping between nadjia / theotar for specific bosses?
or is nadjia a meme
Nadjia you’d run if you low rolled tea, otherwise theotar is mostly the play
I play Nadja everywhere
Nadjia for assa and theotar for sub m+
Then you rng roll haste tea and scramble to change your conduits
Theo Haste tea is still great and theoretically sims better.
But it is what it is
i guess i'll just commit to the tea if i get good rng 😂
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.
so, without haste tea nadija is better?
when the sepsis end and active vendeta does trigger the 4 set bonus also?
"today at 1:58 AM" lul gl
Come again
?
?
no i mean when the sepsis end it apply vendeta on target when this vendeta is activated does other bleeds expire faster?
Might want to read toxic onslaught again. You don't get the CD from your spec
It only applies vendetta as sub
As assa you get shadow blades and adrenaline rush
I rolled haste tea, not playin my rogue until raid tonight 
sorry if this gets asked a lot but what does duskwalkers legendary usually bring vendetta CD to?
1min
Pretty much. Gives 1% in a mythic plus
Yes
🙂
Guys can someone tell me. On opener what if mutilate gives 3cp. Should i force another to have 5 combo flag->rupture ?
Yes
what with garrote overcap it after second mutilate or after rupture
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
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
2cp muts are just kicks straight to the nuts
No, you just follow the normal rules. 4-5CP
Np
lords also right ?
Lords is Necro
Still play dusk on lords ? 🤔
Sim it with 2 targets
Probs. Ty
how do we add items to raidbots without having them?
im not the smartest raidbots guy here
droptimizer
hmmm cant see the crafted section
crafted u can do gearcompare maybe
aka 262 items
otherwise youll have to import string from wowhead (its a bit more steps)
gear compare works
aight let me test it
u add new gear sets if u wanna compare multiple sets/items
yeah exatly what im going to do, thx ram 😛

its funny because i was trying out my gear and different sets for my sub spec and...
The god has spoken
yesu
so stupid question if i dont get haste tea do i just go nadja?
Strings are in the FAQ 
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?
well it would be 2.7 for garrote, and rupture depends on cp, 5cp would 3.6
(thats taken from whisyp from a few days ago btw)
It’s in the tooltip as well - just gotta math
It is half of the regular refresh time. You can multiply the full bleed duration by 0.15 to get the 4p vendetta times. (you can multiply by 0.3 to the the regular non-vendetta time too)
math hard :(

Math is math
Novel inc 
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.


Gonna be?
I agree.
N -> subtlety
No man
But I'd like to remind ya'll that 3T scenarios are pretty rare honestly
it already is horrible
also true
Whats worse than having 4+ targets to possibly crit on? Having 3 targets to ppssibly crit on
But hey, at least your FoK is gonna do mad deeps

Do you think they'll ever change the crit mechanic on FoK? 
It would ruin my immersion 
We rarely see any crazy updates to our spec honestly
i doubt it, would be nice if they made it like shuriken storm
Best they can do is a sub rework pt 3
Sub gets to be best ST and AoE

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 🙂
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

(in m+)
Why try hard when 2 button do more
(Lords of dread spec)
We should be happy we only get abused when they're drunk.
Only when they're drunk?
One things for sure. Your fan still won't do damage either
How about both
Why are people so conditioned to shitty design
I agree it makes no sense that only sub gets 2 SS's
tf
wut
sprint on wata??
Yes Sub op
Playing Kyrian sub made me gag
Because you did too much damage or what
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
with the FoK buff is the worth to take the fok conduit or still no
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
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
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? 🙂
Link your logs and we'll take a look
Tryed rygelion but on tohers bosses same logs
others
maybe stats low 38crit and 21 haste
can we soak night hunter in mythic pantheon by evasion?
No
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
it has very long range
like 40-70yrds something
60 maybe
u just need to target a mob and itll attack
target??
not aoe ?
or random targets
its single target
on the mob u are targetting
when u "aoe" are u not targetting a mob ?
Whats so bad about halondrus?

Yeah right...
its like not a single moment of just hitting the boss
mentally exhausting
especially as venthyr assa
We’re not there yet 
range
Also range “oh no I have to move and cast on Halondrus”
Anyone with some decent plater profiles that they'd like to share - or know of one, that I can sub to some streamer and get? 😉
especially for m+ 🙂
huge, thanks
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%)
ight ❤️
another thing
anyone else feel like skolex is fukcing annoying
i get flag and vendetta before cancelling the boss cast
forgot the name
halondrus greatest boss of all time
everything is scripted you just gotta not suck and you eventually kill
we are 130 pulls deep and its not even made a dent in my mental yet
i got a dent 
im closing into 100 myself bros

you killed in 131?
thats pretty good
!pd
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
@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
what if i dont use weakauras 😛
i seen it when rapture i weak aura starts to glow, 8s left maybe
omega inting if you play Assa without weakauras/cd trackers
im omega inting then
aaa ok
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
it is possible to put flag and vandeta to 1 macro?
Doesn't matter too much
wouldnt recommend
I would not recommend that
Just use 2 separate buttons

i kinda wish CT was baseline so that assassination could get a talent similar to shuriken tornado
like hurricane of knives xd
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
I feel assassination is the weakest thematically
The name suggests maximum instant kill burst, it's a dot spec tho
Assassination can mean any form of ways to end someones life
assassination implies discreetly
^
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
Ive always thought it to be weird how they are still called "Subtlety"
Meanwhile combat gets a pistol and renamed to "Outlaw"
nothing subtle whatsoever about their 4pc aoe burst

they could've just named it "pirate rogue"
but that sounds too generic i guess
They are called subtlety because they don't have gouge I guess
also kinda clashes
"pirate" sounds like a class name rather than a spec name
also
Main gauche means parrying dagger but there is no defensive attribute to the ability
"pirate rogue" might give some people ptsd
Question, does dashing scoundrel increase crit chance on poisons for all targets or just your main?
xd
We have more things to worry about than our spec name atm 
the name "outlaw" has a very roguey vibe to it, i like it
all targets 
Ty!
is SBS affected by tier set?
yes
😮
it's a bleed
thats what I was thinking but they have made some things not affected by our buffs before
it's a rogue spell/ability
trinkets and dungeon weapons are not affected by our buffs anymore
One can never know
Unless....
Prenerf MA


Even we don’t know half the time since Blizzard likes randomly changing Rogue mechanics with no patch notes all the time 😄
I guess it's never bad to test stuff
Always have to be on the lookout
Maybe someday the poison bug will get mysteriously fixed
"Guess what, Shiv causes bleed damage. I just watched Oz."
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!
maybe accidental fix?
They'd have to admit they made the mistake in the first place
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
You’d best ask in #pvp for some better answers, but assa is a lot easier to get into for pvp, sub is better in some comps, really strong in 2s as rogue/mage
HC Earthbreaker, isn't there a WA for it? 
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
Just use WCL, log your fights and check out your rotation there
Thank you! I'll download that tomorrow.
As a last resort you can always modify details to show the DPS you think you should be doing
That's what I do

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!
FoK and CT tech, what a time to be alive
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



Nightly APL also has the change to the FoK target threshold so should be good to go with the hotfix
my damage number no bigger 😠
I mean my damage meter barley broke 2k in a Mists +4. And we timed. Quite sure I was doing more than that
ilvl?
251
Okay, that’s a bit low.. what’s your dmg breakdown like?
Was there a pin on CT? I only see FoK.
First Sigil: Line it u with vendetta I assume?
It’s referring to the second pin which makes venth best in ST using CT
And the snap shotting etc
Slight change to the opener ordering to use CT prior to Vendetta
Not sure. I logged off for the night. I just know it's low because I do anywhere from 3.5k to just under 6k in other mythic dungeons
Thanks, I understand now.
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.
4p is Gainsville and you change your legendary. I have vendetta every minute with 4p + dusk.
4pc is almost 20%
It yeeted my sim from 11.9 to 14k, so yeah its a big difference
(Worse ilvl pieces)

Kyrian 
it still exists, and is quite good
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
Creation catalyst is on the 12th or 19th of April aight?
holyshit cringe fae is massive
I love Fae Sin. Feels good. The added mobility with soulshape since we don't have double step is also nice.
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
use it once then it gets put on a 1 week cd
Use it immediately and puts it on CD
so you can craft 1 tier piece on the 12th, and a 2nd on the 19th
idk how quick the cd reduces
yeah thats what i thought
It starts accumulating charges once a week starting with the first charge.
ive done it on ptr but couldnt rly get used on the ''introduce'' idea
its fine,so we stack up valor
So Alts could technically make a full set after 4 weeks.
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

💦
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
😅
it will probably go down by some hours every week
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?
seems that way
you have 8 gear slots potentially
its 5
yeah
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?
the thing is, not everyone has tier yet
yeah
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
so worse case you need quite some time to have it become "useless"
for catalyst
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
hope i will get 4p tomorrow or a weapon
got a 278 wpn already
😮
voracious ^^
:3
im gonna go with sigil + totem unless i actually loot phial
i don't have any 278 all my chest where set piece but already got phial and a weapon 272
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
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 :/
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
yeah i will try to swap in MM+ but i don't like that spec xD
Positive side,u wont worry for sockets ever again
😅
its only 2 sockets tho
!cache
Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand
huh, venthyr beating necor now 👀
not surprising
unsure
for soulely ST it should
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
it is sadly the only spec that got a interessting set bonus
(that is also quite overtuned, what is part why its interessting)
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
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
you mean in general?
i am unsure if you talk about your perception, or what you think will happen in logs?

For sure, but sin got the highest dps loss from the domination set and sockets out of 3 rogue specs.
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
Which only shows that sin is the king of gameplay out of the 3😂
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
Assa will win in the end
Sapzilla 5/4/2022 11:18
i also take the burden of a ''prophecy''
this was the amount of logs from the current aviable wcl statistics
Think it will be a fair split depending on the boss
idk,assa gave me the impression it has alot of room for improvement even from ptr.Sub was a general mess of power
thats 4000% of sub logs in cn
Sin feels easier to progress raiding with as well
will have to wait and see
Rotation fixed 
You do you brother
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
Sin definitely rarely seen spec this tier, even though sub is for plebs
bro i literally went it because of how bad it felt to have my VENDETTA ASSIGNED TO A PLATFORM
Good call😂
like listen im a one trick but i have my limits
It's a combination of the FoK buff and the rotational changes to Venthyr.
can respect that 😄
trying to explain to RL what vendetta does a toughie
Hey I used Vendetta on the acolyte
Got 8-10s of value each time :)
BIG
wasting vendetta is a big nono
😂






if only u could play dusk and zold instead of unity
