That you have to sit and wait for

#

Everything else is fine

ebon lichen
#

Maybe that is what it is. Seems after i mut>snd>mut i have to wait to put garrote then wait longer to put rupture.

balmy condor
#

Yep

#

That’s the 50 energy

ebon lichen
#

Is there a soft cap for haste since that also increases energy regen? While im transitioning towards s4 gear i have more crit than haste (38% vs 30%), will upping that stat more help? Prioritizing by the stat weight outlined in the wowhead guide

balmy condor
#

You need an ungodly amount of haste in order to “fix” that problem

ebon lichen
#

Lol ok. I will try and get better at waiting. Thank you for your help.

balmy condor
#

You need to gain/lose about 15% haste to feel a difference

#

I blind tested a couple friends in person with different gear sets to prove that point a while ago

#

I had 0%, 15%, and 30% haste gear sets

#

Not a single one could tell between 0 and 15, or 15 and 30

#

It was always “well this is slower than 30” or “faster than 0”

ebon lichen
#

So the downtime is normal? In between a finisher and your next while vendetta/flag is on cd

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

Assassination is and always will be a slow spec

ebon lichen
#

Thats a mindset shift i have to make then. Im always spamming keys trying to go “faster”

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s not gonna help you much :P

yep, is that the flag thing at the right? nothing happened when i clicked it

#

at what point in rotation do you pop trinkets/externals

#

very beginning? before flag? before/after vendetta?

woeful meteor
#

Pot with Flag, Stat Trinkets with Vendetta if its last longer than 20 prob a bit before, instant dmg trinkets at max flag stacks.

balmy condor
#

With vendetta

leaden hornet
#

shiv affects envenom?

balmy condor
#

Yep

leaden hornet
#

How does envenom work refreshing it

#

5 cps is dmg over 6 secs

#

And the shiv interaction

#

I guess cast shiv first , and get as many envenom in. Or cash envenom first into a shiv

gusty mirage
#

envenom isn't a dot

#

the buff it provides just increases poison application chance

leaden hornet
#

hmm waht does it mean 3800 dmg, 6 secs for 5 cps

marble hemlock
#

that for 5 combo points it deals 3800 damage, and applies the buff (30% increased poison application chance) for 6 seconds

grizzled jay
#

@balmy condor Lethal Poisons vs. WPS vs. Poisoned Katar in M+? Your guide has LP + WPS, Bloodmallet has PK + WPS, but my initial is to think LP + PK.

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

PK overrated as fuck

#

and only useful on aoe

#

which you suck at

#

therefore lp+wps is the only correct choice

balmy condor
#

Also true

#

LP+PK is Virgin aoe damage enjoyer

fleet whale
#

and somehow Poison Katar is a talent in DF but not echoing blades 😦

vast loom
#

i think PK with all the combo point generator

#

talents in the class tree

#

is a bit better

#

theres atleast a bit more synergy

timid cloud
#

PK doesn’t matter because even if you get 99% crit. You’ll still only get 1 CP for a fat Fan of Knives.

#

Exaggeration, & for legal purposes, this is a joke.

balmy condor
#

Isn’t pk just crit chance

fleet whale
#

yeah, and it's a mere 5%

balmy condor
#

Isn’t that technically anti-synergy then

#

Cause as you get more crit, you’re devaluing other sources of crit

timid cloud
#

So it’s worthless!

vast loom
#

well its synergy with lethality ,maybe not as much as i think lol, isnt flat crit still strong? i think its 18% baseline with all the talents.

fleet whale
#

Also i figured out a compromise one could take with regards to CTTC in the SL tree
if someone really wants the QoL of CTTC, they could just take one point of it
one point of it is all you need really
and if you want the extra dps, don't take any points of it

#

this is for ST btw

vast loom
#

idk would 1 point even save you taht many casts of SND

#

idk how often we will be pressing envenom

balmy condor
#

But I think lethality is a bit questionable

vast loom
#

what do you mean?

fleet whale
#

there can be those awkward moments when snd and rupture are both about to fall off

balmy condor
fleet whale
#

Talent is named Poison Katar
Has nothing to do with poisons

#

And is it just me or does the dot that death mark applies seem kind of weak sauce

balmy condor
#

Deathmark isn’t working properly atm

fleet whale
#

Does it even have an animation

balmy condor
#

Yes

oak sky
balmy condor
#

It’s hard

oak sky
#

Maybe you get like 1 point in it ig but i think theres better utility points though

brazen zodiac
#

i was not a believer

#

then i ran the sim

#

now i am sadly a believer

balmy condor
#

It’s almost like we sim these things beforehand and put them in the pins for a reason

viscid spear
#

Unpossible, we just wing it

brazen zodiac
#

(i totally do ty pin maker people)

#

sometimes u just gotta sim it urself to truly believe whisp

balmy condor
#

I feel it

#

Definitely been there before

brazen zodiac
#

plus i always liked unity on legs vs tier pants so i rly didnt wanna beleive

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

Turns out stats just kinda don’t matter that much tbh

brazen zodiac
#

hm

#

is it cause the sets just that good or the tier set helps or

#

the ring set i mean

balmy condor
#

The ring set is huge yeh

#

They have the same stat budget as normal rings

#

But then just a bonus 100 haste on top

brazen zodiac
#

crazy stuff

#

ran some sims, think i did it properly, set seemed to be like 300-400 dps +/-

#

sounds reasonable?

balmy condor
#

Generally for sin it’s always been more stats > better stats

balmy condor
brazen zodiac
#

epic

#

feels like rings this xpac have been kinda set in place lol

#

u got the set or u not playin this season?

balmy condor
#

I’m not playing this season

brazen zodiac
#

gotcha

vestal wren
brazen zodiac
#

never played the other dungeons b4 so i was pretty hyped to try them out

#

then i got into lower kaz

#

sigh

vestal wren
#

tbh, i wouldn't be surprised if lower would get some tuning

brazen zodiac
#

kaz dungeons itself seem super cool and the bosses are pretty fun for what they are but yeah

balmy condor
#

If I could look into the future I could answer people when they ask “is sin good in dragonflight”

brazen zodiac
#

them shits kinda hit hard idk

#

oh whisp if only you could look into the future and answer the million questions of which talents to take next xpac

#

complete nirvana

I’m actually sitting in my room doing the doctor strange thing where he calculates all the possible realities

i think it dates back to legion

brazen zodiac
#

legion was what, the 4th expac?

#

one sec ima google

balmy condor
#

oh no

vestal wren
#

legion was like 4-5 years ago

#

not me double corrupting my mageblood

#

and it vanishing before my eyes

#

or me putting 4 dcotor cards into the wrong harvest craft

balmy condor
#

I’m a firm believer in the concept that if you have the ability to double corrupt a mageblood you have already finished the league

brazen zodiac
#

i dropped it too

#

from meta lol

#

actually found a strat with metamorph and vaal temple farming

#

got 2 HH and 2 mbs over the league

#

but the new balance changes might make that strat impossible again lul

wispy chasm
#

Can you get sylv daggers rn?

#

I just saw some dude who has 2 of them and I thought we couldnt get them till next week

vestal wren
#

you can run the old raid and get sylvanas dagger

#

on the old item levels

wispy chasm
#

nah

#

new levels

vestal wren
#

if somone has 285 or higher

#

he did some exploits

wispy chasm
#

gotcha, thats what I figured

swift moss
#

for some reason his quest kept counting bosses so he just kept reseting instance

vestal wren
#

the one with two of them did find a bug that allowed him to turn in the quest

#

iirc by doing lfr, but thats fixed to my knowlage

#

also, i wouldn't suggest anyone to do exploits if they care about their account

swift moss
#

night delta
#

and on the other end of the spectrum, there's me, having done the raid in full both in LFR and NM and somehow still having 9/30

vestal wren
#

sounds like a bug

viscid spear
#

Can only get one per boss regardless of difficulty, did you not kill something?

vestal wren
#

if you cleared normal and did not get kill credit, it seems weird

#

would contact customer support in that case

night delta
#

Yeah I'll submit a ticket tomorrow

ebon notch
#

i cleared fully on heroic first

#

got 9/10

#

cleared 7 mythic and then it got pushed up to 10

when SoD rolls around next week is there some sort of tier/dom shard combination we'll be using?

does shorting bit band have any value? The nature damage to nearby enemy mechagon ring

pretty dece in aoe

#

Do we know if it can hit single target?

#

or does it only damage another target?

gusty mirage
#

it can hit st

balmy condor

it's just worse than overclocking in every way

gusty mirage

it's like blade flurry

where it determines "nearby" based on you

not what you're targeting

What about healing 5 nearby allys? For the sweet sweet Rank 1 healing parse.

I'm farming and this ring wont drop. I'm going stir crazy. Hope u guys are having better luck 🙂

how do you feel about the "3 different abilities on the same target" ring

functionally the same right?

# vestal wren hey, how are things?

Amazing bro had a monk holidays wna play a bit more the oh class again. Seems like law is the way to go again. Man I wish assa would be really good once again kinda lacking insta dps. Was it bfa where ct was super competitive that was fun

#

deathmark?

sand canyon
#

Deathmark yes !

#

Double blood and poison uptime

balmy condor
#

Kingsbane and sepsis as a combination might be pretty big

vestal wren
#

The DF talent tree brings some nice new tools tho, so excited to see and test how things play out

limber obsidian
#

Is deathmark a separate bleed as well as duplicating poisons and rupture/garotte?

The DF tree looks like so many potential builds. I think it looks so good

balmy condor
#

It adds a 20 second bleed and duplicates on top

#

The 20 second bleed doesn’t seem that impressive damage wise currently, but if it interacts with venomous wounds and lethal dose and all that, probably fine

limber obsidian
#

Siiick. So good. I originally found a build and I was like yep that looks good. Now I've had another play and build it and it ends up being able (afaik) having a potential 14bleeds and poisons on 1 target?!? 28% increase to bleeds and poisons during a deathmark window is mad.

https://www.wowhead.com/beta/talent-calc/rogue/assassination/BOFVUBBARGghFzJEANVaoFRVAgRCEwQBQ
Is that how you would see that build?

balmy condor
#

But yeah

#

In theory it’s possible

#

2 poisons, garrote, rupture is 4, Deathmark duplicates to 8, then CT and SbS is 10, doomblade if it works is 11. I guess Deathmark could be 12 if it works off itself but I’m not sure if doomblade and Deathmark count yet. Depends on implementation i guess

limber obsidian
#

It is 11 you're right.

#

Regardless. Looks pretty rad. Love it. Thanks for the response

balmy condor
#

I agree it’s looking pretty good

#

What makes Assa so inferior to sub and outlaw in keys? I kinda get it with outlaw but not as much with sub with the lower target count in the new dungeons. Granted i've only been doing 15-17 keys so far to gear up but got curious of the scaling parameter of the specs in keys with reading the guides and comments 🙂

balmy condor
#

sin has terriblee aoe

#

and it's equal or worse in single target

#

all the cooldowns are single target as well and force you off of multi-dotting

#

so realistically assassination can do single target and two target cleave fairly well

ashen breach
#

I thought assa was doing pretty good in raid/ST or is that just people cheesing and because of fated affixes?

balmy condor
#

outlaw and sub were bugged for the first day

#

but sin also has the highest burst which compliments the fated buffs nicely

#

on paper, sin is the worst single target rogue spec

vestal wren
#

assassination has the advantage too that eon isn't relevant now

balmy condor
#

not by much granted

#

but it doesn't shine in single target

toxic ocean
balmy condor
#

it's just burst and two target

vestal wren
#

sub/sin are pmuch on par on single target in sims

#

with sin having better burst and cleave

#

so i would argue sin is for raiding probably better

#

from those two

balmy condor
#

yeah the dd nerf hurt a bit

#

but the original question was keys

#

and in keys it just can't compete much, the moment you have more adds, sub wins, the moment you have less adds, outlaw wins

vestal wren
#

you need quite some adds for sub to win

#

outlaw is quite good even on 5-6 target pulls

ashen breach
#

and thanks for the answers!

vestal wren
#

thats also why it is overall probably ahead in m+ and likely will be the default choice for most dungeons

vestal wren
#

yes

#

assassination just does not translate that well into more targets

#

what is its biggest issue atm

#

as whisp mentioned, the tier set is mostly single target oriented, so does not help much

ashen breach
#

And i guess a single target/prio target guy is not that valuable in m+ as assa since sub does it as well and can do better aoe

balmy condor
#

the moment you get past 3 targets on sin it falls off a cliff

#

theres barely any gain at all going from 4 targets to 5

vestal wren
#

absolutely

#

but i was comparing all 3, and outlaw does beat both sin/sub noticable

#

and does not fall off before 5 or 6 targets, when subtlety benefits more from spamming BP for overall

balmy condor
#

oh, yeah

#

when compared to outlaw

#

I thought you were comparing it to sin

vestal wren
#

sry, i wasn't clear enough

balmy condor
#

and it doesn't take long at all for sub to beat sin :P

#

all good

vestal wren
#

ideally sin would win out on 1-3 more noticable

#

would create a better dynamic

balmy condor
#

sub should be the burst spec

#

I hate all the generator buffing crap for sub

vestal wren
#

3 targets

#

(2 min sim duration)

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

assassination just has nothing past 3 target

#

you start to cap out on multi-dots

#

and then it's just CT damage and hoping for fok crits

vestal wren
#

dragonflight looks like sub also will opt to multi dot

#

^^

balmy condor
#

dark timelines

vestal wren
#

dark brew timelines

balmy condor
#

replicating shadows should just be nightblade, but instead of all damage, make it just evisc damage

#

that is my take and I will die on the hill

vestal wren
#

you mean like Nights Vengence?

#

or you mean convert rupture back to nightblade

balmy condor
#

nah, I mean like make it increase evisc damage against that target by x%

vestal wren
#

oh, i think i understand

#

evis has a surprisingly low amount of nodes that work on it

balmy condor
#

I also had an idea at some point to have something like a scaling finality/flag/rupture thing but it was very early in the morning and I gave up on it KEKL

#

while rupture is on the target, your next evisc deals increased damage, until you recast rupture

vestal wren
#

thats NV

balmy condor
#

yeah basically NV

#

but it scales infinitely

vestal wren
#

was mentioned to realz iirc

#

but he didn't seem to pick it up

balmy condor
#

so if you can rupture for 20 seconds

#

and get 10 eviscerates in

#

that last evisc is crazy buffed

#

like it's not just the next eviscerate

vestal wren
#

ramping up def. sounds good, but maybe would become a bit crazy

balmy condor
#

yeah it would be very hard to balance

wild horizon
#

Hi, how do you play on cleave ? Maintain dots on both targets outside of vendetta and focus one during vendetta ? I imagine it's very hard to keep all dots up on both targets during ?

balmy condor
#

you focus the vendetta target

#

and multi dot when possible

balmy condor
#

trinkets have no interaction with spec mechanics

subtle tundra
#

Well... Deeper daggers worked for basically the whole expansion

balmy condor
#

that's a big exception

vestal wren
#

bleeds in any spec specific design will always refer to those the spec can apply (baseline, not from a item)

#

also the things that work with e.g. trinkets are usually borrowed power systems like conduits

oak sky
#

i thought the rupture thing for sub would be cool in cleave but when you guys talked about it maybe being good for aoe it sounds less cool, even though sub aoe is boring it works

vestal wren

#

new to the discord - is there anywhere I can read up on early opinions of viability of assassination in dragonflight?

#

for M+ specifically

balmy condor
#

Carnage is a welcome addition and sin is getting some tools to help its aoe

#

But outlaw/sub also get stuff obviously

#

If sin ends up crushingly strong and the aoe can keep up, it’s good

#

If it’s not, it’s not

proper owl
#

yeah that was my concern, AOE specifically. Single target in the alpha feels insanely good, just worried it won't hold up in M+

#

i'm not good enough at aoe in SL to test it effectively in the Alpha, was wondering if anyone else has and had notes

balmy condor
#

Would help if the talents were implemented properly for that

proper owl
#

holy crap i didn't even think about that 😦

balmy condor
#

I’ll update the spreadsheet in the pins eventually

proper owl
#

okay thanks, i'll keep an eye out

balmy condor
#

Just a lot of question marks still

#

The tuning is also fucked atm

#

Fok was like 25%+ of my damage in dungeons last week

#

Pretty gross

proper owl
#

i'm a lock main right now but i'm wanting a backup in case the lock tree is unfunished/trash. So far sin is the most fun questing / single target even with it half implemented, so I was hoping it'd have more viability in M+

balmy condor
#

Yeah we’ve seen a fair amount of people in your shoes

lament burrow
#

Hello, sorry if that question has been already answered, I scrolled up this discussion a bit and saw nothing about it. I'm still a WoW beginner, currently 250 ilvl and I only know how to play the assassin spec, never played the 2 others. The problem is that my friends are mainly, if not only, doing M+ in which I have a lot of pain. I'm trying to garrot the maximum of mobs in packs, applying rupture to each and build up combo points to speed with crimson tempest but I'm always low in dps, sometimes even behind the tank. Is there a specific way to play in M+ with the spec (I saw some sin doing 20+) or should I go with one of the two other spec ? (if that so, which one is the easiest ?). Thanks for the reading and potential answers !

#

However, in raid, my dps is sky rocketing

balmy condor
#

but the TLDR is that sin aoe is dogshit

#

and anything more than 3 target is just bad

lament burrow
#

My bad, I skipped that one

#

thanks

balmy condor
#

all good

#

usually people don't even bother looking at previous conversations :P

lament burrow
#

I should take a look at outlaw and sub I guess, thanks for the quick answer

assassination looks promising

in Dragonflight

#

ello. stupid question of the day. is Vigor any more forgiving than Deeper Strat?

#

my sim is coming up -100 dps for Vig vs DS. But Vig "feels" more fun/forgiving for me (a new rogue)

#

i dont know if that "feeling" is placebo

most fun spec of any i've tested so far

#

curious if the having 4 poisons talent will be viable

limber obsidian
#

Depending on how everything is tuned it honestly looks like there is so many builds available that would work and play so well.

Can't wait to see DF and see if it ends up being like huge different builds instead of the usual 1 build to rule them all

#

I've been playing necro sin in m+ (low keys only just come back to the game and hit 60 like 8 days ago.) And been managing to hit like 14k dps in some of the tazavesh packs. Is outlaw really that consistenyly more powerful in aoe? Would it be sensible to just farm up and switch over to it for m+ even though I kinda really love the necroass rogue play style. Like am I just hamstringing myself staying assass?

gusty mirage
#

Yes it is just that much better and easier. Your AoE is pressing one button (blade flurry) vs swapping and spreading ruptures to 50 adds

#

In regard to hamstringing yourself? It depends, if you're enjoying yourself, continue playing assassination

#

and it also depends what your goals are for m+

#

if it's just grinding out 15s-20s, you can stick to assassination and be just fine

vast loom
#

Yeah especially if you know a decent lock or surv you will have plenty of dmg in aoe packs

strange python
#

?

#

Why decent lock or surv?

#

what's that gotta do with rogues?

#

(i ask cause i main lock but probably switching to assassination)

balmy condor
#

lock and survival do crazy aoe so you don't have to

brazen zodiac
#

just pump dat one fat mob instead ezpz

subtle tundra
#

what i noticed in pugs is that the shrouded mob heals a lot

so always vendetta that guy

the small ones, the big one is obvious

#

i almost did 7 million damage to the small ones in a 23 streets

#

(on outlaw, but my point stands)

brazen zodiac
#

shrouded mob? the affix?

subtle tundra
#

yes

brazen zodiac
#

hm

#

i flag that cuz ive been spamming twos but the point stands if flagging on a 2? lul

#

im sure above 14 ur vendettaing that lul

subtle tundra
#

in a 2 you can go afk and let the other 4 people do the dungeon

#

lol

brazen zodiac
#

not when theyre doing

#

3k overall

#

ruff times out here my brother in sin

subtle tundra
#

i mean... im talking about real content xd

brazen zodiac
#

yeah xd

#

hey spamming 2s for rings is real content cmmon

subtle tundra
#

in the 23s it was healing for 200k

#

every like 10-15 seconds?

brazen zodiac
#

appeal the commoners

subtle tundra
#

not sure how often he casts it

brazen zodiac
#

oh thats fantastic

#

epic affix

subtle tundra
#

so if you dont focus it, it will always be the last mob standing

brazen zodiac
#

who was it that said its so time consuming the affix

#

good take

#

hm

#

good advice

subtle tundra
#

it is if you're not coordonated, and grievous wounds also reduce its healing

#

so if the hunter is smart he plays with correct pet

#

or the ww does some rising kicks on it

brazen zodiac
#

we have an anti heal poison too dont we

#

but it isnt as impactful im guessing?

#

or its pvp only idk

subtle tundra
#

yea... but no...

brazen zodiac
#

yeah....

subtle tundra
#

its big dps loss for assa

brazen zodiac
#

oh right cause its a lethal

#

gotcha

subtle tundra
#

on outlaw/sub its less of a dps loss

#

but it also not as big reduction

brazen zodiac
#

hm

subtle tundra
#

its 24% only

proud pulsar
#

is going for legy on chest for mechagon rings and losing out on 20ilvl on chest really worth?

brazen zodiac
#

lose damage kinda based

brazen zodiac
#

eyeah that ring set giga worth

#

seems like 300-400 dps, around there

#

varas u try sin yet in a 20+? :o

proud pulsar
#

87 haste that much? or how much is it on max ilvl

brazen zodiac
#

its 104 i think

proud pulsar
#

oh

brazen zodiac
#

at 288 i think

#

not quite sure havent been on last night

subtle tundra
#

2 rings dropped in a junkyard earlier...

proud pulsar
#

my droptimizer on 291 shows 87

subtle tundra
#

1 insta traded to premade, another couldnt trade

#

😦

brazen zodiac
#

eye trinket dropped onhealer last night, couldnt trade

brazen zodiac
proud pulsar
#

i only get the ones in junkyard that proc on activating an ability sub 50% or healing

subtle tundra
#

how good is the eye trinket on ST?

#

cause in m+ youll never use

#

on any spec

brazen zodiac
#

im not sure but it just sims for me as 300+ in st

subtle tundra
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
subtle tundra
#

check time

brazen zodiac
#

over my shitty aoe decant wings

#

or that aoe trinket i forgot what it was called

subtle tundra
#

i think its the best non-use trinket

#

for pure ST

brazen zodiac
#

it sims +200 something in sims of m+ too so

subtle tundra
#

its bad in m+

brazen zodiac
#

i just got a shitty trinket rn is all so

#

ye

#

but i do want it for st

proud pulsar
#

sitll running 265 cache and 272 phial

#

m+ trinkets all kinda meh except moroes

#

and eye but that is weird to play in m+ if you dont wanna mouseover interrupt and stun

brazen zodiac
#

checked the buff

prime monolith
#

main stats for assa?

proud pulsar
#

oh u already have it?

balmy condor
#

Crit mastery is good in m+ for aoe

prime monolith
brazen zodiac
prime monolith
#

I remember it used to scale on mastery the assa rogue for poisons?

balmy condor
#

Yep

#

Still does

proud pulsar
#

gotta grind some more still

brazen zodiac
#

still doe

#

whisp! pog!

prime monolith
balmy condor
#

Bleeds and poisons

brazen zodiac
#

yeah, i'd spam twos. takes about 11-14 minutes per key.

#

im gonna keep spamming them cause i want tet stats and sockets

#

seems to be dropping like candy in these dungoens

night delta
prime monolith
#

so for pvp and bg it's still crit and haste what I need?

night delta
#

I think mastery is the one stat which scales them the most per point

#

Though not sure

#

If you need advice for pvp you'll find it in #pvp

proud pulsar
brazen zodiac
#

yeah im up to like 16k already

#

dont really matter

proud pulsar
#

also i think the sims dont really take the proc into consideration

brazen zodiac
#

im not really sure how that all works, fuu posted something and i used it to get an accurate read

#

a simc

proud pulsar
#

yeah saw his sims and the rings were in there but i was wondering since my sims showed something really different if 20ilvl on chest wouldnt outdo the rings

balmy condor
#

Let me look real quick

proud pulsar
#

ah well thats still as outlaw but still, cant sim assa since i currently only have 1 dagger 😄

brazen zodiac
#

just run 1 workshop with me i seem to drop one every other run lmfao

#

apex one so common zzz

balmy condor
#

Yeah looks like it’s working fine

#

The proc at least

#

It just isn’t that big for that particular set of gear

proud pulsar
#

so it's just bad on my current gear

#

maybe the nature proc does better on outlaw

balmy condor
#

Yeah

gusty mirage
#

well you also have the 3 abilities if

#

which is worse than the attack from behind one

brazen zodiac
#

lol

#

hi oxi

balmy condor
#

Yeah but not by much

proud pulsar
#

i mean you always hit 3 abilities in 15s

balmy condor
#

It definitely doesn’t help though

proud pulsar
#

pistol shot ss dispatch, as this is my outlaw sim

balmy condor
#

There’s an ICD though

proud pulsar
#

ima try with th eother one

gusty mirage
#

yeah it's not an insane dif but the attack from behind is a little better

proud pulsar
#

well that sims 53dps higher

balmy condor
#

Pog crazy

brazen zodiac
#

big gains

balmy condor
#

42 dps

brazen zodiac
#

look out, hes coming for our parses

proud pulsar
#

my logs are shit

#

xD

night delta
#

Huh

#

Does halondrus even have a back ?

balmy condor
#

Yes

brazen zodiac
#

lol

night delta
#

Or is it ALL back

proud pulsar
#

no so every position is considered from behind

balmy condor
#

He has a back

proud pulsar
#

is it dependant to where he is spun? i thought its just all back

#

sinc ehe doesnt really move

balmy condor
#

He’s always facing the next room

proud pulsar
#

so entry is always his back?

#

even if tanks stand there

balmy condor
#

Yes

gusty mirage
brazen zodiac
night delta
#

I guess the backstab ring is better simply because it takes less time to proc initially. I don't see a fight were we can't hit back for 15s, or where we don't hit 3 different abilities in 15s.

#

There are a few where we move out for more than 15s but they are far inbetween

fair sky
#

Might be a stupid question, but does Exsanguinate cunrrently affect serrated bone spikes bleed?

night delta
#

Nope

fair sky
#

Guess 100% more ticks would be a bit broken :p

night delta
#

Did during 9.0 ptr, easily exploitable and crashed servers

fair sky
#

Lmao

night delta
#

It was stackable

brazen zodiac
#

lol

night delta
#

So 2x speed, then 4x speed, etc

#

Promptly fixed

balmy condor
subtle tundra
proud pulsar
#

true but simming in general

#

for raid it's fine

#

til we get the trinkets from raid

night delta
#

Or is it the activator rings only ?

vestal wren
#

^ the haste lasts 15 secs

night delta
#

I mean buff duration =/= internal cooldown

#

I thought it could re-proc during

balmy condor
#

No

#

You have to wait the 15 seconds before starting the cycle anew

#

So 15 seconds, then 3 abilities

night delta
#

Alright, now I understand

balmy condor
#

It’s not like major major but you miss out on 2-3 procs over the fight which makes it that 40-50ish dps worse

#

But then again if you can’t find the back of a target either, you’re also missing out a proc or two

#

:P

night delta
#

Yeah, if any of those two activator rings drop it's fine

balmy condor
#

Sims just are always behind

#

So the difference between the two is the biggest in sims

night delta
#

I won't power farm one after getting the other

balmy condor
#

In reality maybe a little lower

obtuse robin
#

a hunter friend told me thery can proc the behind stuff with their dots, i assume it doesnt work like that with us

balmy condor
#

It does

#

Had to double check

#

Actually huge

obtuse robin
#

does instant poison proc it

balmy condor
#

Rupture/garrote

obtuse robin
#

actual skills yea

dawn merlin
#

Wait, bleeds insta proc it even if you are in front?

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

Unless that’s changed

balmy condor

Thousands

#

But less than millions

soft shale
#

yea only people i know fully decked out spammed +4

#

to upgrade

vestal wren
#

you could probably create a valor farm group

#

also we are stuck in aa ring farm soon

soft shale
#

true it is also sanctum week

#

so it will be interesting

vestal wren
#

tw is in the sepulcha week iirc

balmy condor
#

Why farm auto ring if it’s worse

soft shale
#

for outlaw i guess

vestal wren
#

ring set is at least on outlaw only better on high item levels

#

so aa ring with max upgrade is easier to get than 2x 304 rings

#

(haste is better on assassination tho, so probably not that close)

tired swallow
#

so farm the rings or not?

balmy condor
#

Farm mecha rings

#

Ignore auto ring from legion

#

It’s worse

vestal wren
#

for assassination or subtlety, you don't rly need to

#

for outlaw it is a good consideration

gusty mirage
limber lion

no more ring farming for me :-)

restive falcon
#

if you run scars/sigil i assume you still use sigil on pull and just rip scars on cd?

limber lion
#

It's a bit fight specific, but yeah something like that

#

On Artificer for example it's better to use Scars on pull and hold cds for the massive damage amp

#

and then send sigil with the damage amp/cds

restive falcon
#

just like st fights, i tried as assass/outlaw for arty and outlaw felt better

limber lion
#

Just play whatever feels better to you

#

They all perform kinda similarly

restive falcon
#

i main assass in raid but starting to play outlaw in some cleave but still want assass to be main so idk if u sigil first with venda still or scars

is simming 2 target patchwork a good way to check rotation for necro opening etc?

balmy condor

if you're fighting 2 targets I guess yeah

clever pendant
#

Anyone use a macro to use Ambush instead of mutilate when you have a blindside proc? Or is there a reason you would want to use mutilate even when you have a blindside proc?

balmy condor
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

Ambush is currently only used with non-venthyr builds using subterfuge
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3) and it's interaction with Flagellation.
You also have to consider the additional poison application chances. Ambush is not considerably worse or better in any situation, so you aren't losing out on much if you don't use it.

balmy condor
#

wait

#

wrong one

#

!bs

prisma monolithBOT
#

Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz
Showcase Video: #assassination message

balmy condor
#

macroing it is super janky

#

but also blindside kinda sucks atm

#

like a lot

clever pendant
#

I see, I see. I figured you could have a simple macro with Ambush cast first with mutilate below it. Since you wouldn't be in stealth, it would only work if you get the proc. I am not in-game, just thinking.

Thanks for the info!

limber lion
#

Once you have the correct setup and you want to improve your gameplay further, then we're going to need to see either logs or a VOD. We can't really help much with just a sim.

But get your 4 set, work on getting a better unity and just keep grinding more gear.

yeah true that does work on the assumption that we have shadowlands pb dashing and envenom

balmy condor

you don't know that

In cleave poison bomb might crank hard

subtle tundra

ok maybe there's a build that all it does is cap energy from bleeds and does envenoms on amplified enemies

balmy condor
#

Dashing in aoe with 2 poisons

subtle tundra
#

but i doubt it will be stronk

balmy condor

Is a lot of energy

subtle tundra

ok? and what will you do with that energy

if youre capped from 4 bleeds

you dont take vw obviously
