WAS THE SABER SLASH BUFF ENOUGH?! SEASON OF DISCOVERY PHASE 3

[@michaelramos7026]

Good video, decent music. Alot of nice details and insight Quick question. With heavily farmed elemental areas. What rotation, spec, items would you use. Im currently raid bis and farming elementals in silithus is hard due to mobs being immune to poisons and hitting for nature/fire dmg.

[@emreyuksel6358]

hey! can u share your WeakAuras for the combo points, SD and saber slash dot?

[@Susanoo_WoW]

Sure, Here's the link wago.io/R__6CHk0r If you want it to be the circle shape you need to download the addon, Masque and Masque serenity.

Could you share the simonize spreadsheet? I cannot find it elsewhere

[@Susanoo_WoW]

You need to join his discord, open his original sheet and make a copy. Here's a link to his discord discord.com/invite/pujEA9mpYr you have to go down to the sod-spreadsheet channel and it'll explain what to do.

Whats the reason u value warsong sword over thrashblade? cant thrashblade proc from wf and itself? so in my mind it would be the second best option. and why not sword in OH since sword specialitation OH procs MH dmg ? :D

[@ivers1001]

The sims show thrash blade pretty low, and you don't actually go sword spec you go full assass and then only to 3% hit in combat.

[@Vicieus1]

@@ivers1001 also it's mostly warriors who are running thrash blade. Its more beneficial for them because of the extra attack procs giving them full rage. Rogues get nothing other then just the extra hit. Just not as impactful for rogues.

[@BombaclaetWOW]

@@ivers1001 if u watched the video this is a rogue tank video not a dps video, so we are not talking about same thing here

[@Susanoo_WoW]

I believe it’s because ssl bleed stacks are based off Attack power so the build values stats more than the extra hit, and right now we don’t go sword spec so we don’t get that double proc from thrash and also why we don’t off hand a sword. It’s not necessarily that sword spec is bad it’s that other options are better Also with the poison talent you want to be able to make sure you keep deadly up and a faster off hand helps with that

[@Susanoo_WoW]

Also keep in mind thrash and the pvp sword are like a couple dps apart so realistically you can go either and not notice a difference

[@playedout8945]

isnt bloodied sword of speed giga?

[@Susanoo_WoW]

Yeah bloodied sword of speed looks like the best option behind degraded dire nail and ahead of inventors focal blade. Depending on your thoughts on STV it could be easier or harder to get than inventors.

@@Susanoo_WoW wowsims saying its 2nd bis behind dragons cry for MH , thrash isnt in conversation

[@Susanoo_WoW]

​ @playedout8945 I talked to Catszeid the other day he does a lot of the sim work and he said they're not updated for the change yet so the results might be off. The saber slash bleed works off Attack Power so it favors stats, which is still kinda true with the change, but with the increase in weapon damage from SS and SSL it might not be favoring weapon damage the way it should yet. Also if you look in the results tabs its not weaving sinister strike in yet either. When it does thats probably a good signal its been updated

[@Susanoo_WoW]

@playedout8945 Keep in mind we're super early on the changes so it's not impossible for something unexpected to very good, It's even surprisingly good as a main hand on Simons sheets for being a lower damage fast wep. Plus there might be an opportunity for a fast lower damage wep with good stats if we see an issue with deadly poisons falling off since we're not mutilating and if deadly falls off we're not envenoming and the poison talent gets wasted. With lower damage weapons not being as effected by losing wild strikes its possible we see a shift. So keep that wep on hand if you've got it

[@AlCap0le]

fun fact: almost no rogue takes imp. expose armor cause they are all logging rats. i guess most rogues dont even know the talent about expose armor

[@Susanoo_WoW]

Your not lying lol But I took IEA all phase 2 because we didnt have a single armor reduction in my raid lol so now im in a new guild, better comp, I'm gonna run a couple without it
