Oh ok thatโs what he meant
oh i didnt know that
All I know is dat earlier I was looking at what ppl ram for m jailer and thereโs tons of 3+ boomkins with that trinket venth and incarn
So there must be some powerful interaction
Any 3 min stat stick would be broken on venthyr druid
Ya I never cared for moonkins
From the looks to the spells
Nagurra plays boomkin tho
im kinda vibing with it on ryg
i really hate cache
feels like it doesnt do shit
Sigil is nice and passive
yes?
(dont tell my raid leader i said that)
(no)
(shit)
play cache
ez
also no cos ring
slacker
get real
wtf

A noob question... why in the faq nadja is linked as the best soulbind and not theotar ? Isn't Theotar best ?
Because Theotar is so inconsistent
Not only do you need to get haste tea, which is a 25% chance with a 1 hour cooldown
You also need to get really high uptime on Soothing Shade
The ability in itself is like 600 dps with 100% uptime, and you will never ever have 100% uptime on it ever.
hmm, yeah thats real
Can we trick the tea ? I mean deleting it from bag then talk to theotar so he can give another with CD up ?
i don't think so
yoyo is the 2p 2x assa rogue fixed ?
yes

Nope, you can do nothing to skip the cd unfortunately.
quality of players goes up
you used to be able to go into torg or arena
and reset it like that
but ykno, fun detected
Yep, doesn't work anymore
I mean it gives a flat %
Vers is better than mastery in such a case
they fucked up with mastery
everyone has different scalings
so they cant use percentages
does 3 potency ever win out for Nadja? Or is it a case of 'when it sims'?
Any time you arent full st
3 potencies never wins in sims
because we use 5 min patchwork sims as baseline
but in reality Theotar lacks a lot of value when you introduce movement and DD loses value with more targets
I'm gonna add some Theotar uptime option I think soon
Good stuff. We can already sim Field of Blossoms with shadowlands.field_of_blossoms_duration_multiplier but nothing for umbrella which is a bit odd
other than the overwrite
gets a bit tricky for the casual non-simmer :P
Yeah will probably make it work exactly the same
Surprised nobody had added it yet, but shouldn't be too difficult
I guess the spoiled casters don't care ๐
ty all
Nice

The top nerds in here doing the most
@limber lion Nadjia would most likely be optimal on a fight like halondrus?
Yes, with Dauntless Duelist
alright thanks
which weap is the bis for the cache of aquirated treasures btw?
Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand
theres more nerfs?
None of the raid changes today on reset are for Mythic iirc other than like the Xymox adds?
Just various Normal and Heroic nerfs
i see
help i do no damage

also #assassination-faq @cloud yew
do you have any logs?
i feel the same
wat nerf
idk like all the changes tmrw
theres no nerf
or they already happen?
what was the notes i saw
about him getting nerfed
maybe a gaff
That happened last reset
necrolord sub is where its at
or night fae sub
sims are off the charts
maybe better than outlaw with bis covenant tho 
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
i wonder what fuu likes to play the most or if he's an enjoyer of all 3 equally
rogue specs
Fuu's like one of the biggest Sub die-hards in the world ๐
he's theory crafting for them all
bfa was a sad time for the man
outlaw is his demented child
i think that
you know way too much about this cord's history
i cant even speculate :madge:
i cant even speculate (why dont we have madge)

that's an unusual looking bulba
I think I'm one of the few people who actually plays all 3 specs without hating them ๐คฃ
xd
i like outlaw game play wise
i think i would like sub with a few tweaks
sub is very nice in theory
i cant wait for 10.0 i feel like all the specs will be great and i wont be able to choose what char i wanna play
except i can tell u right now i wont play a spellcaster not my thing
i have to reapply dots so often with crimson tempest that my snd falls off
am i doing it wrong
Yes
Your main priority is maintaining Slice
and even then you're probably spamming CT a bit too much
Because your slice should honestly stay up pretty naturally without any extra stuff
u dont need to get a full 5 combo point slice u can start off with a 2 combo point slice and envenom will take care of the rest
that might help u

were you streaming?

Sin bis now 
finally youre coming around
to the good spec
teach us oh great ramslam
you playing weird mfd stuff? :x
i was told u cant play venthyr without that
but what do i know
i just listen to sin channel
I mean like
I always played venth vigor last season
This season a little different with all the snapshotting and whatever
Your st suffers without mfd for sure
well yeah, itd basically be less flag stacks on st
not sure how much that matters tho
your ST suffered without mfd last tier too
lol
nothing even changed or
its just snapshotting
Yeah but now opener feels gigadog without mfd
or is extra flag stack bigger now?
extra flag bigger now cuz 4pc snapshots haste
hmye
but overall
vigor is still more comfortable on aoe
but you can play aoe without vigor
its just pain
playing rogue in aoe is pain regardless of talents
MFD is super needed in single target because it helps with getting the stacks, which means less cd on Flag, which means cds line up better, which means potentially more cd uses overall
Also MFD doesn't even feel that bad in packs honestly
Slap down the 3 garrotes, rupture a boy, MFD CT
and you're rolling
would be nice
if our improved poisons rank2
would actually work
with subterfuge
:))))))))))
Big true
did all of u farm the gold for 291 legendaries or buy tokens..
cause non vigor opener would be totally fine
shits expensive
if all 3 garrotes would auto-proc poison
291s dont cost that much on a lot of servers
little bit of both
But my guild gave us 2 freebies
:x
psure ram still owes me gold
oh i was gonna ask if that's acceptable to ask
or speed
for a free 291
i dont remember
5 stack alacrity is rly big right?
Depends in your guild
we'll see if they do it
ok so ill have to do my outlaw stuff on this spec
Ya
Also spiteful is giga MFD usage between pulls
never pressing vanish fine with subterfuge right? not huge loss i mean
can use for utility etc
?
Yes
open gates in mist 
Vanish is very much whatever
The silence garrotes with iron wire or idk maybe you play prey on the weak are supwr nice utility
Its like 3 free interrupts
damn our second row of talents really sucks huh
only useful every 2 min if not getting restealths between packs
Just give sin shadow dance :)
or if tank needs some mitigation
you can just vanish for the damage reduction as well
theres some packs like plaguefall or theater
where the dmg reduction helps a lot
archers in pf, praetor in spires, arbalest in theater etc.

lots of good things about it
what stats you playing?
cuz i always felt one of the biggest issues with assa is that its a shit spec for versa stacking
yeah u aint stacking vers
my arch nemesis rn is probably dealer
and no, i dont want to go elusiveness

not playing sin in dos
hahahaha
yeah i remember
tbf
elusiveness is good on every boss in DoS
just like its good on every boss in plaguefall :x
well, not every boss
elusiveness is good in every key
well as assa id opt for leeching over elusiveness in a bunch of them
but yeah, in an ideal world you drop cheat cause its technically a useless talent ๐
i did for a while in bfa and it was fine
Hacha would say, just get 10% leech on gear
hey

you dont get to lecture anyone
on tertiaries okay
mr "oh yeah i have 16% avoidance in my SoD gear"

@echo geyser Did you stream this sin key?
rio scanned his talents & spec as sub 
!snapshot
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.

Was hard enough to get them to make it actually work to begin with. ๐
true
i dont really play keys anymore
who do i watch for sin then
!magetower

you know who
Is there no guid for magetower and the gear ? Which I need to buy ?
Whispyr has a written magetower guide on Wowhead, you can check that out.
you don't need to buy anything (:
@strange python
Aywa thank you Habibi
np wallah
Amen 
Just do it ๐
Ramfam well known assassination lad
Oh shit 
might be 278 if i get rid of that sylv offhand
Iโm putting all my fake money in ramfam stocks 
278 phial abuser
ram about to overtake my sin sim and he barely plays it
Ram about to have the highest dslice sim for a sin rogue on the server

wait hold up
I didn't even notice you had 2 285's


need?????
Hax
why doesnt jailer neck have more stats
Sub uses one right
compared to other neck
Because blizz dumb
Jailer neck couldve been like 1.5x stats
How much do you sim ? Ramfam
bout two fiddy

Tree fiddy 
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6v3FHq5byMxFV81rDGvwvY @strange python
Every day i think about her (sin)

๐
is sin the same as sub btw with haste that u actually need a lot to even notice the passive regen?

I'm about to have another dry vault tomorrow
Not really
it's generally a placebo
You need a pretty big amount of haste difference to notice
You won't notice the difference between having 5x Alacrity or not
You'll notice the effects of lust because of how big it is all of a sudden
and because of the sudden drop
but if you gear towards more haste, you'll never notice it
You might be able to notice like a 10% difference or so

i see
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2auaBEYdUigMyvQA6fbYed any reason why heroic to mythic vigilant ring is a 0% upgrade? i assume i have too much crit else where
u have a socketed hc one
oh true


I spent way too long fucking about with lua code to make a nice empowered dot tracker
didnt someone in discord already make one
what WA pack do you use?
i made it for the Atrocity UI so i can ssend you the code stuff i used
ping me after raid
@vast loom
eh mine works now
D:
๐
nice
is subterfuge garrote diff spell ID?
nope
ye
wait

well subterfuge is different than vendetta tho
u let ur empowered garrotes fully fall off always?

unless u have vanish to reapply empowered ones
I was talking about vendetta empowered ones
vendetta empowered ones
so thats just the faster ticking ones yeah?
so it can only be on 1 target right
ye
u let those fully run out?
ye
oh good to know 
cause they deal double dps
u think the snapshot tech is to just reaplly the global after venddetta is over ๐

random q but u cant use other spec leggos right
like a holy pally cant use a prot one
ah damn, i wanted to try something out
yes
rotation page update is probably like a 9.2.5 kinda vibe

but my aoe disorient
it's true, theo is much better on sub
type shit
yeah but in keys its easier to get it
you move around less during packs
- nadjia doesnt proc as consistently bc u drop combat
+mastery is better in aoe
- token
- token
i have actually never checked token this season
- bonus avoidance or free heals in umbrella
Ram too cranked
i was disappointed when i got 278 phial but turns out it was nice for outlaw and sin

wish i had phial man
Yes
i dont think its the move in keys tho
need to pug more to test tho
This aint theotar thats +200 dps right there mr
we dont even run theotar
sandbagging sims
so
I doubt it makes much of a difference
i just did a random sim of the build ill play in raid idk
it has to matter
in dps probably not but theres some things
phial does
meaningful choice
that i dont like


run it down
premed gives slice and slice gives more auto procs therefore premed is an energy talent

do u run theo no matter what tea u get in keys? @oak sky
Hmmm
I usually do but i dont do many real keys
Agi is kind a no go
Vers crit and haste all are for sure fine tho
should i track nadjia thrill stacks? @limber lion
It doesn't matter that much honestly, but yeah, I would.
i like tracking stuff for fun as long as its not too much clutter
the haste snapshot juicy?
Like if you know you'll only get one more Vend off, but holding it for 10s will result in you taking advantage of the haste, then it's a good thing
It's not something that you actively play around, but it's good to take advantage of so long as you don't miss out on casts
this is starting to sound fun
As I looked into with Whispyr earlier, it does seem like it makes sense as it triggers from 4pc procs
However it's even more putrid ST damage
Drops another 4% in ST lol
If you add in the AoE of an Assassination Rogue, a Sub funneler, and a Feral Druid you might out DPS a tank ๐
i wish there was a way to glyph the effects of the humming black dragonscale trinket from bfa
anyone miss dat
the nya trinket
Why don't 278 daggers drop for me. I'm sick of playing sub ๐ฆ
yeah its called being a warlock

it might be magetower mog
oh maybe there was an updated one for legion
i know what u mean ya its basically the same thing
wait i could use jmorph or something to morph into those cloths
but i dont think that would look good on pala
you can send it on a big boy
I send it on the big boy insta
ahh i was holding on intermission
I was doing platform 2
so it was either that or the add on platform 2
which makes no sense
any spiteful enjoyers
be sick if the trait just applied a 6 % dmg amp u know instead of giving us a fucking dumb pet
i hate that dude
kevin
you're welcome to play heirmir
sounds like hymen
true
time to play necro sin this week

worst thing about kevin is
if u start attacking something he will never stop until its dead
he a persistent lil' fella

ate too much cake


deathspike sounds crazy on spiteful
deathspike is very fun and good when u got lots of targets that don't die too fast or too slow
does deathspike have smart ai when spreading or can it hit one with it already
no but if ur like too close to your primary target

I wish it did.
must be swimming in sbs this week with spiteful
so you'd just do 3-4 garrotes in the beginning then value sbs more because you're saturated with those garrotes.
Yeh
7 min kevin at the end of every key 

always sim stat weights according to wowhead guide? hmmmm
Pawn
If you're reading this line, I'm trapped in a WoW guide-writing factory. Send halp.

sin dropped 17 ranks in raid stats now we need to make up for it in m+
@echo geyser where?
Ur tellin me i gotta play m+ 
idk what i read prob meme shit that didnt matter on wowhead
Time to swap my sub conduits back out 
that might be what i read
None of those ranks are every accurate
went over that earlier

Ever*
anyways irrelevant stuff
just go outlaw and beat 300 people over 30000 people
it was showing for bosses as well
iirc
that's not even the issue
big issue
huh?
outlaw didn't kill a good handful of bosses
or at least no llogs
so it's omega skewed data
The mythic ranking you see on warcraftlogs, and potentially on wowhead in a article currently have certain shortcommings.
The amount of logs for certain specs are fairly low, there are even no logs on certain fights and the time frame of 1 week is to low to generate useful data.
This means, Outlaw is not the best spec now and both Subtlety and Assassination are about equally strong.
sooooo 300 vs 30000
no
In terms of public outlaw logs:
17 lihuvim kills
4 halondrus kills
0 anduin
10 lords of dread
0 rygleon
0 jailer
none of these fights
show up
okay
in the warcraftlogs overall chart
for outlaw
you're looking at an overall chart
where outlaw is missing over half the bosses
I can't tell anymore
50/50
just gonna not engage tbh
like you're saying "no logs" and i'm saying "no logs"
so idk where that argument is coming from
wowhead 9.2 sin guide says to use statweights
?
daps <3
No lmao
we're both saying no logs in different ways
I'm not playing outlaw on that fight
He's refering this lol @balmy condor
is causing skewed data
"The above suggestion is only generic and exact values will change based on your gear available. In order to best know your best stats, we recommend you to sim your own character using many tools available in the community like SimulationCraft."
so
I don't see what you're trying to say
better than trying to argue with a troll
time to fight a sausage 
how do i sleep knowing i just parsed blue on it
my 6 hunters all podded and then respawned and fought it to the death
very carefully
it's so fun wdym
so true bestie
wdym it's fun
i like it?
snooze fest + L + lich king got turned into 45 anima
just gotta run chains of domination instead to have door become a dps cd
Like even your copy paste @bleak sky says to sim
absolutely bestie!
don't have chains 
sadge
yea, door out when adds spawn to break chain then step back into melee
too scared to use door on that fight
what if a circle bugs out and spawns when it shouldn't
:/
gotta do what you gotta do for the parse
aight fuck it, I'm benched on the next fight
lets fucking do this
@hexed root The above suggestion is only generic and exact values will change based on your gear available. In order to best know your best stats, we recommend you to sim your own character using many tools available in the community like SimulationCraft. What do you not like about this sentence
unbench the mother fuckin kench
no i mean whisp goin lets fkin do his
is it idk id be cool to kill him
i cc'd the helm so i dont even need it from him lul
it literally refers to the stat weight sim?
and sim in general?
so you don't think you should sim your own character?
I'm referring to the stat weights. Guide says sim stat weights, and character because stat weights change w/ character gear, but disc is also stat weights = bad
at no point does it say sim stats weights
discord info =/= guide info
it provides stats weights
and then says to sim yourself
"You should always use stat weights that you have simulated for your own character, but here is a general Pawn string that you can use to get started."
so that's the sentence you hate
Itโs not that good.
wasnt it 2 or 3 i looked real quick and saw ur name so

it's 5 at the moment, that's crazy.
Yeahโฆ.
dog made me die soo many time on sausage lady
Petting dog is BIS.
not even petting hes just humping my leg mid pull zzzzz
my dog is a chihuhua pupp
how good is nadija on that fight @timid cloud ? doubt it'd account for 2k dps difference for me
I'm trying to figure out what part you disagree so I can deal with you the least amount of time possible. The guide is aimed at new players, who might not know how to sim themselves or care enough to try and get something accurate for themselves. I'll add a section about how stat weights specifically are not accurate and you should use top gear instead
that would align with the info that discord provides. That's just where my brain is stuck, there's no disagreeing or hate. Just looking for consistency.
sadly that's not something that could ever be done
because the discord and the guide are aimed at two different groups of people
but I'll change that paragraph
thats fair, I wouldn't consider that they're aimed differently
I assume the same people would go to both resources.
I tried out uhhh, 3P Nadjia, it felt okay. What I really tried to focus on was actually MFD sniping for constant energy & multiple ruptures, with of course CT uptime.
if you're in this discord you don't need a wowhead guide
yeah same
3P? Were you rupturing everything regardless of uptime? @timid cloud ?
lmfao
@balmy condor if I go to learn outlaw and I'm in here, the discord goes "look at the guide"
yes, that's where you learn the basics
Outside of Vendetta, I kinda zoned out that day I think. I donโt really recall what I did. But I just sent it & kept going with what felt right in the situation.
there's a difference between learning the basics and learning how to play optimally
we're not a new player discord or a rogue help desk for a finisher means
hmmmm
Low mobs but theyโll live long, rupture, Iโm running low on energy rupture, MFD the low HP small add to get it back with rupture, refresh CT.
I didnโt have that much success today I donโt think, but I tried my best.
when you mfd low hp small add, what finisher are you using?
My Skolex was absolutely dogshit, my Sigil didnโt go off.
that was one question I had/feel like I mess up as sin, can MFD be used for anything or is it suppose to be dedicated for a specific finisher?
Rupture if Iโm gigga low, CT if Iโm high energy.
I wouldnโt take my advice though, thereโs still people 2k above me.
Yeah, just outside of vendetta.

we kill sausage on the pull where our tanks are doing the "make the boss move as much as possible" thing and i lose 3 globals in opener and also where i die to not receiving healing because too many people are dead 
so neither of us are sleeping well tonight?
died on skolex to circles cuz computer froze
its a rough night
last week i dced on a xymox r1
does MFD get reserved for a specific finisher?
this week i kinda want to jump off the edge at the start of every boss
I just want to kill crab. 3% pull. Free meโฆ.
this week i kinda wanna sell my laptop for a good time
We went Xyโmox Skolex Crab.

no but you do save it for flag, you get 1 free use after Vendetta then hold
2 bomb carriers that is
btw guys
rygelon is a lot of fun as sin
so much to minmax
and when you do it you actually notice your damage going up
it feels worth it
what do you mean? you save MFD for flag? I assume you're talking like.. if it's about to come off cd?
u sound like ur not having very fun :(
MFD stars & cores & rupture cores.
i never do reclear sucks every week
you opener do your vendetta window, then you can MFD once before you need to hold for next Flaggeation
I'm talking about mfd in general and what finisher to use w/ it during rotation
its mut, snd, mut, garrote, flag, rup, mfd, ct, vend, shiv, right?
doesnt matter
for opener
yes before ct
but for the rest it doesnt matter
yes
well right, I get you use it to 5 cp ct
okay thats the answer I was looking for, the rest.
appreciate it, thank you.
honestly i think i want to extend
man idk at least u get to reclear
i still need tier gloves
f
278 ones
i have 265
but
once i have those i dont need anything significant from early bosses
do 272
dont have any
only gloves ive seen all tier are the ones from our first lihuvim heroic kill
I have 278 crit/vers chest I'm hesitant to turn into tier.
for what
i meant i tested negative for covid a week ago
oh glad to hear
after i had it
ive been liking doing keys i just dont have time for 8 on both characters
yeah its a lot of work xd
Oh wait was what your main?
