I see more and more high parses with the gloves recently, even players that used bracers before getting higher parses with it. Is it the new BiS for single target?

IIRC an apl change made gloves sim higher then wrists so yeah probs.

Yeah always use the nightly build. Afaik maybe 2-3weeks(ish) the apl change happened. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though, I only alt a Rogue so I'm not in the discord too much.

Bracers vs. Gloves depends on the items you'd put in those slots, it's not straight up "Gloves are better". You should also sim trinkets with higher item level than CoF when trying Gloves, as you don't need CoF if you're not playing Bracers. There are a number of variables whether you use Bracers or Gloves. Use the top gear function on Raidbots to sim your possible combinations of gear.
Mantle/gloves without cof is in fact simming highest for me. Beating mantle/wrists+cof by a good bit. Does anyone know the proper rotation for this? I get the gist I think, i guess im mostly not sure when I would pop vanish. Thank you.
in the opener, you just SB, SS, NB, SOD, Shd, SS, Evis, SS, SS, Vanish / DFA.
Unlike the normal opener with SB, SS, NB, SOD, Shd, SS, SS, Evis, SS, Vanish / SS, DFA
The use is simple. if you Have 5-6 CP going into SoD. Then Sod, Evis, BS, DFA.
If you have 0 - 1 CP going into SOD. Then SOD, BS, DFA
There is a grey area of what if 2-4 CP going into SOD. its a bit users discretion here. is your finality buff up?, is it worth losing CP, or wasting time to delay SOD. its a bit hard to identify how to use this area correctly. but general rule I stick with is, if no finality buff, then just SOD, Evis, creates Evis Finality buff, BS, DFA. If you already have Finality and only need 1-2 more BS to get to 5 cp. then cast BS and delay SoD for 1- 2 seconds. else just SOD, evis, bs.
hands gameplay is pretty fun too
I have 945 wrists and set gloves, so its the vigor ring for me that sims highest.
Since the bracers nerf I have always favored the hands, but unfortunately I don't have them. I'd also play with Preperation so you always get the full benefit out of the 2 seconds.
Id love some second opinions on the opener with mantle/gloves. Not saying scrubrogue is wrong, but a consult never hurts. I am at full or very close to full energy after the initial nb and seem to be wasting the return energy from symbols. My opener before with wrists was sb>ss>nb>dance>ss>sod>ss>evis>ss>vanish>ss>dfa>dance(on the way down)>ss>ss>evis>ss, and while some disagreed many were doing the same. Might there be a way to use symbols to better utilize the energy return with gloves as well? I tried a bunch on the dummy last night for a few hours, and the 2s buff from gloves is TIGHT(maybe it should be "your next backstab or ss after using symbols..." instead of the 2s thing, but its not so here we are). Anyways would love to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks rogues.
well this is interesting, i will have to give it a try when i get bracers and another trinket. I absolutely hate the way sub plays with DfA, so maybe this will make it slightly less cancerous.
That is the opener, ofcourse do you use shd when dfa lands
