I knew you got excited about Rogues, but this is new! ;D

It's the main reason I played from Vanilla up until about SoO hit. I did some casual raiding in TBC (Kara runs then tried Evasion tanking Gruul cause it seemed like fun), and filled in for my brother's guild when they needed a healer in Heroic ICC, but didn't really start raiding seriously until the end of ToT / SoO

So confused. I have footpads and CoF trinket for Vendetta CD. Should I use all three MA relics or just two MA and one Gushing Wound? I see Flurty carries all three MA, but they are insanely high ilvl is maybe why? I'm just trying to be sure I go the best route.

Also if anyone has any suggestions on things such as when to pool energy and so on I'd appreciate that. I am using the opener from the site here and don't have a second DPS legendary which hurts, footpads and neck currently, but I still feel like I'm leaving a lot of DPS on the table somewhere.

If you can provide logs and head over to the Rogue Forums, I'll be glad to give you a hand and see if there's any advice I can give.

As for your relics, it wouldn't surprise me if with CoF and the boots that Vendetta becomes your best relic. The uptimes you can get with it are pretty ridiculous

Mantle is much better than any legendary according to all the many logs I have compared via warcraftlogs.com. Not sure how you guys are missing that.

Hey, I don't believe Entwined Elemental Foci from Spellblade Aluriel is mentioned on the trinket list.

Is it any good?

Yes, it is good....particularly on aoe fights where it is much better than draught.

It does actually include this in the Legendaries and BiS section

The best combination of legendary items for most raid encounters is currently Duskwalker's Footpads Icon Duskwalker's Footpads + Mantle of the Master Assassin Icon Mantle of the Master Assassin.

Hi everyone! Quick question: are the stat weights in the DPS guide already assuming a base amount of crit and/or haste? I've been messing around and was wondering if I should try to maintain a minimum level of crit/haste and THEN go off the stat weights? Like is 25% crit and 3% haste ok to have if you just stacked mastery up to let's say 150%?

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

Stat weights as a rule are just guidelines. You should regularly Sim your character to figure out which stat will give you the most benefit at any given time.

For example, if you have 150% Mastery and 15% Crit, Crit is going to be more important for you to get so you can reliably generate CPs. Given that Haste really doesn't provide much benefit for Sin, you generally shouldn't care about it much at all.

hey guys, why is Nightstalker better than Subterfuge?

 

My Bleed does with 5 CPS overall 935k dmg and my garrote does 438k.

Extra dmg from bleed: 0,5*935k is about 475k

Extra dmg from garrote 1,25*438k is about 550k

And for cleave-opener the bonus from multiple garrotes are even higher.

 

Pls correct me, where im wrong :P

You use Vanish to get an extra 50% damage on Rupture. Use Rupture to break stealth, and it will do 50% extra damage for the entire duration.

yes, sure. but subterfuge does this aswell, but with garrote (not rupture), or am i wrong? and its not a 50% dmg increase, but a 125% dmg increase. So you would vanish and then garrote to get extra garrote damage instead?! :D

Rupture does a lot more damage. A lot more.

Just to add to Carrn's comment about Rupture vs. Garrote, Rupture can deal up over double the damage of Garrote, sometimes even more on AoE fights. It's a massive difference. Check any Rogue's logs on WarcraftLogs and you can see what I mean.

Last sims show that 3 MA relics are superior for most cases now as it gives best dps gain .

 

Source: relics spreadsheet

This still depends on fight length, as the spreadsheet says - there are times when MA could make no difference at all. I'll pass this on to Furty nonetheless! Thanks for the link :)

I use a slight different opener. This one doing some more damage.

1. Garrote via stealth.

2. Mutilate until 5 cp.

3. Envenom. I use it earlier to stack Agonizing Venom as soon as possible. See why (9).

4. Kings Bane. 

5. Mutilate. If you lacking of energy simple tap your Vendetta. Or you can simple get more Critical Strike to feel combos faster.

7. Vendetta. Casting Vendetta right before rupture is important thing to do. All the ticks of Rupture will get 30% extra damage so that means that you can also apply Rupture right before Vendetta is coming out.

8. Vanish.

9. Rupture. Agonizing Venom also provides extra damage, that's why i used (3) Envenom so early.

And eventually my Rupture's damage was seen at ~1kk.

Also this opener will take more time so don't use if your target is gonna die soon.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Not applying Rupture early means you lose out on a few things, but most importantly a longer Rupture (due to the Pandemic effect) that is buffed by the bonus damage that it gets after you Vanish.

Hello. If this has already been an addressed topic and I missed it I apologize in advance. I was just curious what was a good target Ilvl/Stat metric before I switch from a EP/Exsang build to playing MP/AP? I run SImcraft but I was hoping some Veterans or experts could guide me in an ideal target goal. thank you!

Pretty early on these days, maybe once you're in the 860s (ish) and rocking at least 5-6k Mastery.

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!
