Unbuffed:

Agi: 25.095
Critical Strike: 9.029
Mastery: 6284

Also; I'm running Agonizing Poison- or would Exsanguinate with Deadly Poison be better? (I would be very surprised, on dummies AP outperforms Exs + DP by alot)

The reason I'm asking is, I'm doing about 290-320k dps on a single target fight (lets say first boss HC EN) but it feels low. I've seen rogues putting out about 60-100k more. With 100k being they have the legendary bracers.. but 100k.. rly?

Thanks in advance!

Personally I would expect Exsang to pull slightly better numbers at this level of gear. No exact math to confirm but my rough estimation for AP to become "dominant" is around ~9k Mastery more.

Keep in mind that you might just be playing the spec wrong. I know this sounds like I'm just pointing fingers and blaming you for the low DPS, but we don't know much about how you are playing. Logs are always important if your question stems from wanting to know why your DPS is low.

I'm not really sure whats going on but...

 

Im 33% critical, 110% mastery, 7% haste, 10% versatility.

Going master poison/Ap and I was struggling to hit 175k DPs.

Swapped to elaborate/exsang and I was easily 275k with 350-400k burst.

 

I tried to sim my DPS by swapping stats around but couldn't figure out how.

Probably SUPER dumb question, but I'm lvl 33 and just curious about gems. How do they work? I don't even see any "gem slots" in any of my items. Not sure if that comes later or if I need to do something?

If I understand what I am reading, I should drop some mastery and pick up some crit?

Your crit is very low. Initially you should drop Haste, but some Mastery as well yes.

Essentially, there isn't much that anyone can do to help without seeing a log of you playing. It might be that you were just playing one of the builds completely wrong. I'm not saying it is 100% the problem, but it could be.

Have you guys tried playing with Insignia of Ravenholdt + Duswalker's Footpads + Vigor talent + 3MA Traits on Agonizing Poison? This combo sounds extremly interesting for Mythic raids, as it currently allows you to have biggest uptime on Elaborate Planning, a lot of more Poison Bomb procs, and is extremly good for cleave, since you dont have to wait eternity for your Agonizing Poison to stack. You also get to use Vendetta VERY often.  Any ideas? Does it sound like something viable to you? Or maybe with Deeper Stratagem + Zoldyck Family Shackles the DPS outcome SHOULD (because for me it isn't) be any bigger than that? I also believe this might become on-go since Deeper Stratagem is getting a little nerf, and Rupture tweak should buff this^ build's damage a little.  I'm open for criticism, and i'm really thankful for any help.

Other than Vigor, you're correct - having 3 MA relics is great, but really only if you have 3 because it helps your cooldowns line up better. With the legendary boots factored in I'm not sure how low you can get the cd on Vend, but it may very well end up making 3MA relics overkill. I haven't run Sims on this myself and I don't play Sin to test this though

Deeper Stratagem is the best option though, and I expect it to remain so over the course of the coming patch. So much of your damage comes from Rupture, that I would expect any talent which buffs that to remain the best one to take. We shall see though.

For the trinket list, are the item ilvls on them correct? Is an 860 eye of command more dps then a 880 tirathon's betrayal?

Probably, yes, especially for single target.

EoC will give a huge amount of crit % on 1 target, which is very beneficial. Once you auto another target, you lose the buff, which means you have to be careful when applying Rupture to new targets

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked; I don't want to sift through 12 pages of comments.

If you have, say, 7 seconds left on a Nightstalker-buffed Rupture, and you refresh with a 6 combo point unbuffed Rupture, will the 7 seconds that carry over to the new Rupture still be Nightstalker-buffed?

Vice-versa, if you have 7 seconds left on an unbuffed Rupture, and you refresh with a 6 combo point Nightstalker-buffed Rupture, will the 7 seconds that carry over remain unbuffed, or will they inherit the Nightstalker buff that you refreshed with?

If you refresh with Vanish->Rupture the entire Rupture will bear the Nightstalker bonus — this is why we cast the preliminary Rupture in the opener, allowing our Nightstalker Rupture to get a full pandemic buffed duration. This doesn't work in reverse, however; once you overwrite the existing buffed Rupture the bonus is gone. This works identically to the old "snapshotting" mechanic that all DoTs obeyed in the pre-WoD era of the game.

Okay. I see some issues between top rogue logs and this, especially when using exsanguinate and elaborate planning. It might be weirdly worded or not explicitly stated, however when looking at the casting of vanish, you can see that most top rogues always sit on the buff for exsanguinate. The guide itself states that 6cp vanish ruptures should be done on cooldown. Haven't checked the numbers on this, but I'm going to make an educated guess that with 3 vendetta relics, waiting for vanish vendetta rupture exsanguinates could be a dps increase compared to using everything as it comes up and wasting 15-20 seconds of possible high, opener-esque burst. Thank you for adding the 3 vendetta relic into the relic section. My last problem is with the wording of combo point use. If blizzard hasn't changed the math since the last time I checked, envenom is a linear scaling with combo points. This means a 1cp envenom is as damage efficient per combo point as a 6cp envenom. What that shows to me is that we should be using envenom WITH ANY AMOUNT of combo points in order to maintain as high of an uptime on elaborate planning as possible. Kingsbane could see us having to use 3+ points per envenom in order to ramp the damage and have a 100% uptime during kingsbane burst windows. 

 

On a side note, can anyone confirm the death of agonizing poison as a viable build after 7.1.5's stat rebalance? The damage tuning to rupture (making it equal or linear on a combo point to damage meter, not taking time into account, I can't remember), the pseudo stat "squish" to Substats (big one here would be mastery, as well as an increase to attack power through agility buffs (the main source of rupture damage). I feel like that would make exsanguinate pull ahead of agonizing in all situations. Again, I have yet to crunch numbers and run simulations a million times to confirm it, but I think agonizing might be unobtainable as a viable build before buffs or stronger gear.

Exsang is actually getting a significant nerf come 7.1.5

Kingsbane could see us having to use 3+ points per envenom in order to ramp the damage and have a 100% uptime during kingsbane burst windows. 

Assuming that a person has proper stats, they should have enough Crit to maintain 5-6 cp for every finisher and not need to worry about it too much. If this person gets sort of screwed by RNG, 4CP is probably the minimum they'll have.

Remember that the duration of the Envenom buff is affected by the CPs spent on the skill, and the Energy spent on the skill doesn't change based on the CP spent. Envenom will always cost 35 Energy, whether you spend 1CP or 6CP, meaning that the damage dealt per Energy spent is significantly higher with a 6CP cast than a 1CP one. 

This is part of the reason that Energy management is important. You don't always want to spend Energy as soon as it is available, you spend it at the right time so you always have some available

It's entirely possible. I looked at them when they came out, but after exams and the holidays I lost track of what was live and what was removed.

I'll be back in a little over a week and can start looking at / testing stuff again - assuming that 7.1.5 doesn't go live by then lol

As long as you're back before "soon", you'll be OK. 

On topic, I believe the poster is correct and they have been reverted.

I've just hit lvl 110 after a few years of no WoW. But anyway, I see the guide mention assassination has low AoE damage. However, with Poison Knives, it seems like FoK -> Rupture -> tab -> repeat, gives insane AoE damage on mobs that are alive a little longer (without really caring how much combo points you have for rupture), after like 3 or 4 different ruptured mobs you basically have infinite energy. Is that terrible play or are AoE packs simply not alive long enough? Or is it bad to take Poison Knives in the first place?

      (Source)
      Hoist the sails and batten the hatches; a Plundersurge begins this week with weekly maintenance!
      The Plunderstorm event is ending on April 30, but until then, pirating players can double the amount of Renown earned from all sources of Plunder by taking the Plundersurge. 
      Set Sail for the Plunderstorm
      Plunge into a challenging battle that earns excellent rewards for World of Warcraft® Modern and Classic progression realms. All you have to do is survive…and plunder. Can't seem to stay in the realm of the living? No problem. Plunderers still gain progression that helps unlock new rewards.

      The Arathi Highlands is the backdrop for this pirating adventure, and you'll have plenty of challenges to keep you busy.
      Prepare to Plunder
      Plunderstorm is perfect for pick-up and play! No expansion purchase is required, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is needed to participate in a high-stakes, play-by-the-seat-your-pants match. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of plundering fun by simply installing the modern (Live) World of Warcraft client:
      Launch the Battle.net desktop app. Click the World of Warcraft icon at the top. If the icon is missing, click on All Games and select the game from the list. On top of the Install button is a drop-down menu. Confirm that you wish to install World of Warcraft. Click Install. Once you’re in modern WoW:
      Select Plunderstorm2 from the World of Warcraft game menu to get into the action. Create a new, ready-to-play character—player characters are unique to this event. You don't need previous knowledge of races and classes to chart your course for mayhem. Choose between Solo or—to play with your Battle.net friends—make a group from the Plunderstorm character screen and select Duo. If queued for a Duo without a partner, you'll be automatically matched with one. You can also access chat, customize characters, and see the queue from the Character Select Screen. Action Bar and Abilities, Worthy Mates
      Discover lootable spells, abilities, and upgrades as you plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies. Upon picking up, spells and abilities are automatically added to your Action Bar, with two slots dedicated to offensive skills and two for utilities such as leaps, speed boosts, and crowd-control.
      Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting. Have fun discovering and experimenting with different combinations to find what works for you.
      Upgrades to Your Spells and Abilities
      Your spells and abilities can be upgraded by discovering higher-quality versions from treasure chests or finding the same ability elsewhere and stacking it to Rank 3 (epic). There are also plenty of plundering opportunities—various treasure chests with different rarities that harbor all types of abilities are stashed around the map. Always stay on the lookout for better loot and upgrades.
      Spectating Spectre
      Upon death, keep watching the match from the perspective of your teammates (if they're still alive) or other players, including their loadout.
      Rewards A-Plenty for Plundering Pirates
      Players can earn cosmetics, pets, titles, and mounts as they progress through the reward track. These include the majestic Polly Roger parrot mount, Bubbles the crab pet, swashbuckling cosmetics, 750 Trader's Tender from "Keg Leg's Crew" for use on the Trading Post, and more. 3 A victory is not required to claim the spoils of a well-fought fight.
      To view Renown and apply the Plunderstorm weapon and transmog customizations, change titles, or summon pets, swabbies can click on Da'kash Grimledger standing directly in front of the spawn point in the Plunderstorm lobby.
      Customization unlocks are simultaneously unlocked for Dragonflight characters and can be found in your Collection. Each Renown level unlock is noted in colored text under the reward name, whether the reward is for Dragonflight, Plunderstorm, or Classic.

      Check out our first look at MoP Remix coming in Patch 10.2.7!
      When Patch 10.2.7 goes live, you will be greeted by the following screen, informing you about the MoP Remix event and its objectives. There will be a button that lets you create your Timerunner (character).


      Similar to Plunderstorm, there will be an icon on the character screen for MoP Remix with the number of days remaining.

      Timerunners will be marked with a special icon next to their name on the character selection screen.

      When you first enter the game, you'll start with a short intro quest on the Timeless Shore. Your character will be affected with the Pandaria: Remix buff.

      The quest intro features a few unique quests before you start replaying MoP from the very beginning. It introduces you to Bronze, the event's currency used to buy items and upgrade gear.  
      Throughout your journey you will come across some very unique gear just like this cloak (Cloak of Infinite Potential) that permanently increases in power (Timerunner's Advantage).

      Your char will have access to two important Timerunning abilities.
      Extract Gem - Extract a gem from one of your socketed items. Unraveling Sands - Summon Unraveling Sands that transforms your unwanted items into Bronze. Gems offer a lot of customization in MoP Remix and you want to extract them with Extract Gem, because placing a new gem on top of a socketed one will make you lose it.
      If you come across unneeded gear, you can scrap it for Bronze with Unraveling Sands.

      Things seem to be stabilizing a little, at least at the very top, as our DK-Rogue trio remains solid this week. There's plenty of movement below that though, so let's dive in.
      Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
      Mythic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      It seems we have a stable chart at the top, as the DK-Rogue sandwich is exactly where we left them last week! We do see a big mover right after that, however, as Elemental jumps three spots up into 4th, pushing Retribution down one. Fury remains stable in 6th, followed by Frost Mage, which gains a spot at the expense of Outlaw, which is down three. The three A's are still sticking together, with Arms, Assassination and Arcane all moving one up, and the Rogue moving ahead of the Mage at the end of the top 10.

      95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      It's Survival's week this time around, as the Hunter bursts up nine spots into 7th, with the top 6 remaining the same. Elemental rises here as well in 9th, gaining three spots, as Havoc drops two at the end of the top 10. Marksmanship joins fellow Hunter Beast Mastery in the bottom 3, taking Feral's place.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Unholy moves to the top of the pack in the direct damage charts, just barely taking Subtlety down. Survival makes an appearance here as well, moving six spots up into 6th, as Assassination and Shadow push Balance out of the top 10.

      U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
      Arms is on the way up, gaining three spots in 6th and pushing Havoc down one, as the Fyr'alaths start compounding here as well. Fire moves three up in 9th, as Frost DK drops those same three spots just outside the top 10.

      As many expected, it seems everyone's favorite farm won't be making it to Remix: Mists of Pandaria, as spotted by TheYamagato.
      This makes perfect sense, since it's a limited time event and the farm is a long reputation grind based on daily activities, and just wouldn't really fit with the shorter runtime. The farm itself is still there, but the NPCs that start the quests are not, replaced by the new Timerunning ones.       And so we're going to have to skip the farm when 10.2.7 comes along, but hey, it's still there on regular old retail if you really feel the need!
