Interesting. Will see what Furty says as well. Don't suppose you have the trait to test it? My rogue isn't even 110 yet.

@lipsinch was kind enough to confirm for me that Nightblade ticks do not count as "damage" for Flickering Shadows; it seems to only require you to not attack or take damage, but you can still have Nightblade or any other DoTs rolling

Hello.

I have a question.

I currently have Nightmare Egg ShellNightmare Egg Shell [840 ilvl] and Tempered Egg of SerpentrixTempered Egg of Serpentrix [855 ilvl]. So, i can't really decide on what is better. The egg has like 100+ agility more but the snake hits pretty low, while the other gives me like ~7k haste. I also have Memento of AngerbodaMemento of Angerboda [845 ilvl] and i'm trying to find the best combination between the three.

Cheers.

Personally I would use Egg Shell + Memento.

I have absolutely no idea how much damage the Spawn of Serpentrix would give you, so I can't really answer that.

My instinct says go with it because 15 item levels of Agi is not a negligible amount, but if the proc doesn't do much then the extra Haste from the Egg Shell will be very beneficial

According to shadowcraft serpentrix is weaker than the egg. I actually can say that the egg is pretty strong as it has ~ 25% uptime in raid encounters as my logs showed me.

25%? That seems really high, for a proc based trinket like that, but I'll take your word for it.

hey, got im pretty much in the same situation, a friend told me the horn from heymdall is pretty op, currently have Horn (855), Memento of Angerboda (825), Dargrul Mark (845) and flat Agi/Vers (835). What would be the best combo?

 

Angerboda seems pretty op even on 825 since it procs 24/7 and the buffs are quite good

Probably the Horn and Mark, but I'm not sure what the proc chance is. My advice is to try them and see which ones give you the best output

Here are the logs that prove this:

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4gVKy1vFDYcTLAbN#type=auras&target=10

On german its "Abwind" i dont know if it will get translated to english when you open it. Its right under shadow dance. As you can see its uptime is ~ 25%. Some are lower because the group wiped before the buff ran out :D.

Yay macros!
OK. I'm pretty macro-heavy when I play.
Here's what I use:

Interrupts and subterfuge:
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1/3, mod:shift] Pick Pocket; [stance:1/3] sap; [modifier:shift] Gouge; Kick

Stealth opener:
#showtooltip [mod:shift] Symbols of Death;  Shadowstrike
/cast Marked for Death
/cast [mod:shift] Symbols of Death
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast Shadowstrike
/use [stance:0] 13
/use [stance:0]  14

Spammer:
#showtooltip [stance:2] Shadowstrike; [mod:shift] Goremaw's Bite; Backstab
/cast Marked for Death
/cast Shadow Blades
/cast [mod:shift] Goremaw's Bite; Backstab
/startattack
/use [stance:0] 13
/use [stance:0] 14

Finisher:
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Nightblade; Eviscerate

 Shadow Dance/Vanish: (This is to get access to the Stealth bar again, for Shadowstrike and Symbols of Death)
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Vanish; Shadow Dance

Ranged/AoE:
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Shuriken Toss; Shuriken Storm

Defense:
#showtooltip
/cast Evasion
/cast Cloak of Shadows
/cast Feint


Pretty much, the normal presses use the normally used abilities, the "shift" ones use the ones that are less commonly spammed, and the spammers also use the "nearly always use this cooldown on CD" CD's.
If 'ya wanna get a little more micromanagement, you can put [nomod] in front of things like Marked for Death and Shadow Blades, so if you're holding Alt then it'll selectively not use those abilities.

I know you guys are working hard and trying to steal some time to get in to wow but any ideas when the guide is going to get updated? I am asking cuz I am currently lvling a rogue and I want to decide what spec to choose.

The Sub guide (the one you commented on) is up to date to my knowledge

I find this useful in Ursoc when I have the debuff and need to run out - it's at least a free symbols of death + 2 SS's.
Also similar in Nyth when getting the poison debuff and needing to run out ( but use it after the last poison tick ).

Also curious but the stat weighting in the sub guide is still recommending mastery at 0.65 and versatility at 0.70.
( Noting this hasn't changed since the 15% buff to night blade and eviscerate ) Surely mastery would be weighted at least slightly higher now?
I've also noticed in my person Sims, that the weapon-master talent is out performing the master of the shadows. Has anyone else had similar results?
At second look, it seems to be a re-occurring theme in the high performing warcraft logs too?

Generic comment being mass posted over the comments threads guys.

We are aware of the changes and our writers are working hard to update the guides to suit what has changed. Currently, there is a lot of work still to be done and it's unlikely that every guide will be up-to-date immediately. Expect a flood of updates over the coming days that will answer all of your questions about what is now best after X change, in time for the reset next week.

Thanks for your understanding and patience.

So, this doesn't apply to this guide?

So ive tried three different sim craft programs now.. shadowcraft, simcraft, and askmrrobot. They all seem to be running a different stat priority. For instance one is recommending haste, another mastery..  Ive been mainly following the stat priority that was recommended on the guide here at icyveins. Anyone have any rough ideas when i need to stop focusing on Vers and mastery, and start adding more to haste? My crit seems fine to me..

Which of those programs seems the most reliable?

I don't play a Rogue, so I have never used Shadowcraft. Personally, I use Simcraft because I like it, it gives me good results and I know how to use it properly. 

Shadowcraft seems much more user-friendly and I haven't heard bad things about it, so I assume it works well. @Carrn might be able to give a bit more input on Shadow vs. Sim, as well as Haste levels.

Did Shadowcraft give you a randomly high Haste value for Sub? If yes, it's a known bug. They aren't sure why it does that sometimes

In any case, you don't really need to ever focus on Haste as Sub. You'll passively acquire some, but you don't need any. Mastery and Vers will always be your #1 and #2, although if you ever lose a lot of Crit rating your Sims will show you that Crit is temporarily very valuable.

In general Shadowcraft is very reliable - I don't know much about the AMR model, but ShC is developed by the same people who make the Rogue apl for SimC. It's only put in as a more user friendly version

It was just recommending haste enchants and gems is all. I ignored it and went with Vers. When i simmed with its recommendations it was actually a DPS loss, across both sim programs. Do you guys have any specific targets you recommend hitting for stats? specifically Vers, does it start to lose value after a certain percent? Also i found the option in shadowcraft to use or not use finishers while in Shadow dance... Unchecking this shows a significant boost in dps (20k or so). Which i thought was odd... i dont see those results on a dummy.

Have the BiS lists been updated to the Sub ones, as opposed to the Outlaw ones there were incorrectly showing?

Due to how Titanforging etc works, having a BiS list is actually pretty useless imo

No particular target, it will always be an increase

Your specific weights might change around - for example if you ditch a lot of Crit to get more Mastery, Crit might become very valuable until you get back up to a high enough rating. Sims will reflect those kinds of changes

      Im playing rogue assa in cata classic and after read some guide I don't understand some things about stats. 
      I know as a rogue assa I have to priories hit rating until the spell hit cap of 17% (1332 if I remember) but i dont understand how to manage other stats like mastery and haste/crit or expertise. 
      Did I have to put full mastery ? and reforge all the crit chance, expertise and reforge haste at least ? Or did I have to balance mastery and haste ?
      Can someone help me to understand in wich ordre and priority I have to manage stats as Assa Rogue in wow cata classic ?

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG 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.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
