@limber lion do you snipe mfd on rygelon?

#

or just tunnel

#

pewpewpew

#

pawpawpaw

oak sky
#

Is there any reason not to snipe

oak sky
#

Like in opener you probably cant

limber lion
#

I got around 8 resets throughout the fight

#

on our kill

#

Just trying to snipe on add per wave

subtle tundra
limber lion
#

instead of trying to snipe the lowest hp everytime and doing mfd finish mfd finish mfd finish mfd finish

oak sky
#

My favorite shit on sylv was getting lucky and sniping all 5 arrows in a clump

ill prog rygelon during party starege

wtf was the pandemic for ct

#

Is there any reason people go Venthyr over NF even though the top DPS seems to be a NF SIM? I'm hazarding a guess that Venthyr works better for anything that isn't a 100% patchwork fight?

Assassination
-> Deeper Strategem is only talented on non-Venthyr convenants
-> Bleed overhangs are only relevant on Venthyr covenant due to Flagellation's haste snapshot tech
-> Garrote is a builder, not a spender so it is unchanged by Deeper Strategem

@subtle tundra You asked for this

subtle tundra
#

wtf

vestal wren
#

thats quite a wall of text

glass tulip
#

I just had it saved from an earlier conversation

limber lion
#

You should just play Venthyr

#

Not sure where you read that NF is better, it's definitely not

#

If you're looking at the Simulationcraft chart, the new profiles have not been updated yet.

#

Koji sent them in yesterday afaik, so they should be up in a few days

#

The outdated Assa profile sims for 16.5k, whereas our current profile as Venthyr is 17 250 dps

tame sigil
#

Oh wtf, yesterday it had Dreamweaver just above Nadija... Maybe I was looking at an out of date one

#

Or I was too high

#

Idk

#

I'll faff with the Venthyr one , not really vibing with Sub too much

glass tulip
#

whispyr has been actively updating the faq and guides over the past weekend

#

so chances are you checked it right before it was new info

tame sigil
#

Yeah probably, I thought maybe it was out of date or a purely ST thing. Any good guide videos? The whole 'snapshotting' thing sounds scarier to me than it probably is

#

I hear 'snapshot' and think of pogger feral druids from back in the day

limber lion
#

No video guides as of yet, but the pins have all the information you need

#

as well as !snapshot

#

!snapshot

#

!snapshotting

tame sigil
#

:v

limber lion
#

You don't really have to think about the snapshotting thing at all

#

It's just a thing that happens naturally

#

Just follow the rotation and the rules in the pins and you're good

tame sigil
#

I see... Haven't played Assa since the exang bleed build in BFA

#

Which was super cool, I hear this one actually makes you feel like a dot class

limber lion
#

Yeah, you rarely press Envenom with the new tier set

#

You spend much more time reapplying bleeds and focusing on their uptime

#

Envenom is a garbage filler ability, this is how the spec should play in the future as well

tame sigil
#

That sounds pretty cool, will be a nice change from sub/outlaw for me :)

limber lion
#

Maybe not with the exsanguinate effect on 4p, but having much more emphasis on bleeds/poisons as a dot spec is a good thing

#

Yup for sure

tame sigil
#

Yeah much better class fantasy

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of snapshotting

Bleeds update their tick rate dynamically, which means that if you get a haste proc (which increases our tick rate) from somewhere during the encounter (ie. Flagellation, Euphoria), the bleeds would automatically tick faster, but the second your haste goes back to normal, the tick rate goes back down as well.

Snapshotting refers to getting that haste proc, reapplying bleeds at the faster tick rate, but instead of the bleeds going back to a slower tick rate when your haste drops, they would continue ticking at a faster rate until they expire or are reapplied.

limber lion
#

oh okay that works

#

ok ok ok ok nicenice

tame sigil
#

Does that basically mean apply bleeds when you have your haste buff from flag?

violet hemlock
#

yes but the snapshoting only happens during vendetta

limber lion
#

We follow normal pandemic rules for bleed reapplication, we don't reapply bleeds just to take advantage of the haste buff

#

But what you want to do, is reapply bleeds toward the end of Vendetta to take full advantage of the overhang from the 4pc, which also allows you to snapshot haste at the same time.

#

That is the only time when we want to forcefully reapply bleeds earlier than intended.

tame sigil
#

Ooh right its an interaction with the 4pc... It would probably help if I read what the 4pc does for Assa would probably paint a clearer picture 😂

#

Is it worth just macroing Vendetta and flag together or are there times you can get a Vendetta/flag in between each others CD?

limber lion
#

Again

tame sigil
#

Sorry if I worded thats confusing I have a killer headache

limber lion
#

I would recommend that you read the pins and faq through first

#

They will answer any and probably all questions you have

#

We never press Flag/Vend at the same time, so no, you would not want to macro them together.

tame sigil
#

Okay I will have a good read!

regal cloud
#

Does tier set + exang stack?

violet hemlock
#

Cev is the note whysper added about iqd gaining value with venth mean I wanna iqd on the flag cast and bically hope for haste?

abstract flicker
#

is iqd not giving u ur highest stat? that would be crit for me or am i wrong`?

violet hemlock
#

it gives one of ur 2 highest

#

thats how it has always worked

abstract flicker
#

ok never used it before 😄

limber lion
#

Crit/Haste as highest, crit being the higher one

violet hemlock
#

aah its for more cp duringt flag gotcha

limber lion
#

More crit = more combo points = more finishers

#

yeah

violet hemlock
#

I assume its just used every 3rd flag on the flag cast

#

or whenever its up as long as the 12s of flag land in iqd

hollow escarp
#

trying to fill my vault with 6 options in case I pick sockets and can't even beat Cev's 1 leggo log

violet hemlock
#

lol

#

dont u only need 3 for sockets

#

since its 2 per slot caps at 6

oh shit

Hey @limber lion, do we apply CT during shiv with this new build on pins?

limber lion
#

Yes

exotic rose
#

Awesome, ty!

limber lion
#

maintain always

#

np :)

exotic rose
#

Ah, by any chance do you also know any WA pack that shows when garrote or rupture were applied during vendetta so we don't refresh it until it expires?

proper tapir
#

Are we recommending Nadjia for raid now? Theo Sims higher for me even without haste tea.

#

The exsang/subterfuge flagging of garrote/rupture is a lot easier to do than the vendetta one

glass tulip
exotic rose
glass tulip
#

Or every time I reapply a bleed lol, think about that shit 10 times a minute

vast loom
glass tulip
#

Coding is hardge

dry copper
#

yeah, so Luxthos lights the bleeds green for subterfuge applications of garrote

exotic rose
#

Yeah, I also don't know how to do it. Ofc we can all "try to remember" but if we can make the machine remember for us, the better 🙂

dry copper
#

which is nice, cause you know not to overwrite

glass tulip
#

Pretty much any pack does that

vast loom
#

yeah its the same code just differnt

#

lol

dry copper
#

and yeah, i was messing around to do it for vendetta.

hollow river
#

We have a WA for the new pandemics during vendetta

dry copper
#

but HOLY FUCK are those WA packs annoying to code w/

hollow river
#

But nothing for the overhang specifically

vast loom
#

but garrote subt is a bit more complex because you can apply the garrote subt bleed to multiple targets

hollow river
#

That’s more up to you as the player

dry copper
#

globals, globals everywhere

vast loom
#

i might yoink the lux pack and see how his subt code works maybe its easier than the one i was looking at

dry copper
#

from what i recall, the subterfuge stores the target in a global

vast loom
#

but i assume most of them yoinked the same WA with custom code

#

oh nvm luxthos did something very differnt than the one i was readi ng

quasi ledge
#

I just remember that when I'm swimming in energy, it's the Vendetta'd bleeds so you just refresh those at the very last second

verbal radish
#

Whats the best way to use additional SBS on Multi-Target fights when you already have it applied to everything. I figured during Lords of Dread you can dump it during swarm as your builder, but otherwise?

keen aurora
#

IIRC if running bonesmith, dump during marrowed gemstone. If running marileth I think you just use it to get Kevin and/or avoid overcapping

hollow river
#

If you’re running Heirmir you pool charges to dump during Gemstone windows

#

Idr if Lords for example is Heirmir or Kevin iirc it’s Kevin but not sure

verbal radish
#

Ah thank you. Necro is the one covenant I haven't played with at all as Rogue yet, so I wasn't very familiar with the soulbinds.

hollow river
#

Yeah whichever soulbind has Kevin’s oozling is usually the play on fights with adds because you get resets on SBS charges for more Kevin uptime

#

Heirmir is usually the play on ST/cleave

verbal radish
#

Thanks for the elaboration you two.

keen aurora
#

How long has that grudge match bug been an issue?

#

We run 2 sin rogues

#

Because we hate ourselves

hollow river
#

@brazen zodiac I think that bug explains some shit about our PTR testing when you came with my guild

honest rain
#

hey, is assa m+ viable?

#

just for the mount

#

had a longer break from pve

hollow river
storm onyx
#

mount is 2500 rio?

hollow river
#

Ye

storm onyx
#

it is good yea

hollow river
#

Sub is generally just an easier time

#

But yeah you can get KSM with any spec/class

gusty adder
#

Sub is alot easier tho, but ye, assa can do well!

storm onyx
#

Assa is well, just how much work you put in to it is very different

hollow river
#

It’s also harder to do good dps in low keys if everything dies fast

dry copper
#

sub's entire complexity is hitting 5 buttons fast every minute. Other than that it's a 2 button spec.

#

sin is shitloads of effort for... meh

hollow river
#

They have the same amount of buttons

#

Aoe rotation is just easier

gusty adder
#

Sin is not alot more buttons tho, fan-ct-fan-rupture-fan-fan-rupture-fan-fan-ct-fan-fan-rupture

#

Throw in the odd shiv and snd

dry copper
#

ss -> bp

odd heath
#

Missed 3 garrotes there

gusty adder
#

True 😅

dry copper
#

sub: ss bp ss bp ss bp ss bp

odd heath
#

And envenom to maintain snd

dry copper
#

😄

odd heath
#

But yeah

#

Sub easier time

dry copper

sometimes even just: bp bp bp bp

#

9.0 was basically trash

Basically?

#

It was an experience

iron orchid
hollow escarp
#

there were 4 assa rogues in mythic in 9.0

iron orchid
#

i was

spice spire
#

I remember getting one of my UHDKs memed on because I did more damage than him

#

He green parses and I was like a 91 or something

then the 24 % or sth aura buff

spice spire

#

when i did ksm with sub in s2 it was no joke just 2 buttons with shadowdance macro, but now i have only haste versa gear

spice spire
#

We’re at 51

honest rain

so i have to play somethign else

iron orchid
#

I still can't get why they did what they did last week of SL beta

#

nerf all of our conduits

#

like, divide their values by 4

hollow escarp
#

felt so good to get KSM on assa in 9.0 Stronge

iron orchid
hollow escarp

fr

#

now it's different

#

it's not that assa is bad in m+

#

it's that sub is WAY better

iron orchid
#

Now the big achievement is KSM on outlaw

Oh how the tables have turned Sinscheme

#

@limber lion if gemstone isn't lining up with swarm, throw spikes during swarm anyways?

#

And not like em with gem?

hollow river
#

Or run Kevin

#

I coulda sworn I saw someone say Kevin on lords but idr

#

good morning

Is Kevin not better then?

#

This 2p bug :/ was just gonna make the switch back to Sin finally, but one of our other Rogues is a one trick Sin, so guess back to my other spec prison.

Assert dominance and track his shiv, press your shiv 1 sec before his comes back up pepeLaff

verbal radish
#

Dont think I didnt consider it.

#

I made a weak aura to track the debuff >.>

copper hazel
#

I told him he has to play Outlaw

verbal radish
#

It will throw the Venthyr rotation a bit, and he plays NF so he sends his shiv early...

#

But...i do like the way you think Link.

ebon moon
#

quick question for y'all rogue gurus - when you look at the stats on warcraftlogs for SOFO sub is generally ahead on every boss until you adjust for item level being around 270 and above - then Sin starts to pull way ahead on almost every fight

#

why would that be?

vast loom
#

sin is just better 🙂

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

verbal radish
#

Not an expert like some, but I would probably put it to more of the skilled players who have access to better gear or making that swap.

#

are^

hollow escarp
#

sub had the early advantage with sylvanas daggers, assa is great with decent gear

halcyon zealot
#

our 4pc isnt a slot machine either which is nice

verbal radish
#

And that, Sylv daggers would drop overall ilevel. Good observation.

hollow escarp
#

well not only that

#

but sub was better early on since they already had bis weapon

ebon moon
#

not debating its veracity, just that it's still BiS drives me crazy

ebon moon

because 4 targets

is that just the rupture garrote or the whole pack?

dry copper

it's the core pack, with some every-frame checks fixed, and the snapshots

#

hit code diff to see what changed for just snapshots, and you can crib that

slim wagon
#

ok thanks, I'll have to import some stuff part by part cause I have modified a big part of his pack. I Keep saying I wanted to fix the 4p as well but I was lazy

dry copper

The snapshots is just part of the Assassination Logic WA.

slim wagon
#

oh wait I think i missunderstood, you added pandemic timers for vendetta ? or you meant something else and I'm dumb.

dry copper
#

you know how if you talent subterfuge and your garrotes have green countdown text when used from stealth?

slim wagon
#

yeah

dry copper
#

does that, for garrote/ruptures applied during vendetta.

I'll dick around a bit more for proper pandemic highlighting

hollow river
#

What

#

They nerfed 4 set in pvp?

#

People cry about everything don’t they omegalul

vestal wren
#

also i do think rogue is still good on most fights

#

i am also fairly certain devs wanted to have other classes on top to "change things up"

hollow river
#

Yeah that’s shitty game design

vestal wren
#

problem is there is at least at this point no metric to measure balance

oak sky
#

im bouta sell a key happy_holiday_pepe poor no longer

vestal wren
#

so you can say "balance is great" or "balance is terrible" and both is equally true

#

if you look at wcl. It already depends if you look at 95% or 60%tile

hollow river
#

I don’t really pay attention to those graphs as much as most people

vestal wren
#

both are valid groups you can balance around but will change the evalation noticable

hollow river
#

Especially since this tier is going so slowly

vestal wren
#

and looking at normalized scores instead of dps also changes it

vestal wren
#

e.g. looking at 60% tile

#

you see everyone within +- 5% in normalized scores

#

what would mean a very good balance

gusty mirage
#

Except that those scores don’t exactly tell the whole story

hollow river
#

Yep

vestal wren
#

moving to 95%tile and per sec amount

hollow river
#

Damn near worthless information

vestal wren
#

you have very big outliners on top and bottom

#

and it does look a lot less balanced

gusty mirage
#

BM hunter kekg

vestal wren
#

in addition to that, certain fights are not included in the statistics partly even certain specs

gusty mirage
#

Hahahahahahahahaha

vestal wren
#

tbh i think bm hunter is a fun thing to discuss

#

because it is the 4th most played spec in the game if you look at heroic logs

hollow river
#

Bm is only getting real play on like Halondrus isn’t it?

vestal wren
#

and this while performing statistically bad

hollow river
#

Because it’s the easiest spec in the game

vestal wren
#

yes

nocturne geode
#

what about dh

#

thats easy af

#

2

vestal wren
#

it certainly has to do with difficultly of execution while beeing a ranged dps

#

but my point is, it is hard to talk about balancing without getting specific about what part of the playerbase we refer to

#

as play rate is a indication of balance, and bm hunter is proving the point that there is a big group that it is still attractive to

#

even if the output is not very high

hollow river
#

I mean it should always refer to maximum output no?

vestal wren
#

maximim output on wcl is a bad metric

hollow river
#

Sure. I never mentioned WCL

vestal wren
#

because it ignores almost all data and only evalutes on the maxima

#

so if a class has lower amount of logs, you will have a lower maxima usually

hollow river
#

I don’t think the devs balance based on WCL

vestal wren
#

they certainly don't balance around simulations

#

as if they did, a lot of balancing mistakes would not have happened this xpac

#

assassination was heavily undertuned for 9.0 for example

#

and this was even directly communicated

#

yet only later in the raid, it was buffed

#

now, this can have several causes, but for me it seems logical that statistics would have had a impact

hollow river
#

Sure but I doubt they appropriate their data via WCL

vestal wren
#

oh absolutely

#

wcl is only a subset of all fights played as you need to excluively opt in and also have your log public

#

but there is no reason blizz couldn't have a internal statistic based on a bigger dataset they generate themselves

native belfry
#

Or they can just have an agreement with wcl regarding showing them private logs?

vestal wren
#

there are a lot of people who don't log fights

#

they have the data however already, so they could just use that

hollow river
#

Idk it’s difficult to explain but like

#

I dislike the “every spec has their niche” and slight imbalance creating undesirability (which is formed from the player base itself, I know).

#

In a way the niches are enjoyable and make fight design fun to deal with, but also a pain in the ass and boring for some players/classes with such a big group being necessary

hollow river
#

At least that’s what the combat logs in game suggest to me

limber lion

fleet anchor
# polar timber Did I miss something cache jumped up in my sim

So I looked into it and some proc mechanics were changed in the SimC core that cause the axe to now trigger from a few things it doesn't normally trigger from unlike my initially fixed version. Since Cache is pretty close in value I think this is enough to make it overtake. But personally I think if Cache and Sigil are close, I'd run Sigil for now until I can find a way to work around the changes or convince the other devs to revert it.

Good thing I got mythic cache last week and lost the sigil roll

The effective refresh duration is not working properly during Vendetta Windows.

I'll take a look at the effective uptime module and see what I can get done.

Yeah basically just have to assume DoTs cast during Vendetta or DoTs that are up when Vendetta is cast have half duration

I have a rather clear schedule this week at night so, barring any crazy that comes up I'll try to have a fix submitted this week.

If you are adding any tracking it probably also worth making sure people aren't overwriting 4pc DoTs after Vendetta falls off (you should wait until it expires or has 1 tick left)

Hekili also contacted me, glad to hear he is working on his addon as well

#

We'll get plenty of good tools for the Assa boys

fleet anchor
#

I checked in all the updates to HeroRotation last night with the new stuff, but I can imagine Hekili might have some minor fits with some of the custom logic recently 😛

#

Since there's no way to track exsanguinated state without manually implementing something

edgy prairie
fleet anchor
#

I dunno if you have a suggestion from the Exsanguinate talent back last xpac which was the same rule or not. But a stat box would probably be good for people. Overwriting DoTs like that is a pretty big loss.

edgy prairie
#

If the suggestion isn't there I can attempt to find it in the history and recreate the logic.

#

All 3 class specs for Rogue are in active "triage" mode for the remainder of Shadowlands. It will be much easier to have active iterative maintenance once Dragonflight comes around with a sort of "reset" for the modules.

I could always completely stop working on this class instead of attempting at updating it. Remember, this work is all done in the free time of the developers free of charge. We are volunteers. As a dad of 2 young kids I need to balance my limited free time to work on this project.

I don't want to do that, I want to give back to the WoW community by using my skills where I can to help others. But I also need the help of the community to let me know when something isn't looking quite right, like the bleed effective uptime issue.

In all honesty and transparency, I was close to actively ghosting the class based on some of the comments I've read. I understand the class hasn't been updated much in recent expansions and I understand I fell off the map (to address personal issues that required 90+% of my time and energy) previously, which I've tried to apologize and make-up for by being more active with updates.
