If you play DTB on ST wouldn’t it be more beneficial to put 2 in Zoldycks and vv rather than db sbs?
Skipping the 2 poison talents at the top of the tree completely
And taking venom rush
can u pls tell me where u saw this?
is it on the faq?
I was just playing with sims
There's one at the southwest corner of the plains, near where the green dragon stone pillar thing is
im having fun on assa (not exsang), watching my dmg ramp up is satisfying
handynotes cool too cuz u can just search on the map all rare locations + their drops
thx
leatherworking?
Yes
!fuu

Either neck+helm/boots, or the raid drop pattern 2set wrist/bracers
The 2set Sims +1500 over raid items in those slots
hm
Idk how strong the neck is because it wasn't simming secondaries
interesting
Get ready for gold cap boes
ill have to look into it
The thorns set? or the snowball
Snowball is what simmed the best out of the combos I've tried so far
When I tested on beta snowball seemed to be the best
those crafted are all boes no?
They are BoP
hi boys, how do I make the raidbots target dummy stay at full hp for the duration of the sim (because blindside is throwing it off)
does anyone know?
i mean there must be a way to combine 4 piece + plus the 2 set
my question is, when can we open third specialization. cause i missclicked and opened the base leatherworking after leather crafting XD
im fucked XD
also, i hate that the leatherworking faction has fishing as one of the main ways to get rep sigh
fuckin tuskars
you can prolly craft them without having each piece maxed out if u got rank 3 materials
Is the snowball 2 piece is unique to those pieces?
sadly i have no idea. im just regretting atm not going into leather crafts. cause its gonna be a while to get more knowledge since u cant really fulfill orders
in my server the only orders are for pvp pieces and exotic bracers lmfao
I think it’s more of a late patch bis thing
When we can actually get the upgrade materials
What’s stopping you from doing it now?
It’s the first week, you can still get into it and be in a good spot
I thought you said you’re regretting not going into leather crafting
exotic
What’s the diff
different talent category
i mean, exotic has 2 piece sets + pvp gear. leather has normal items no set bonus
silly question: is this trinket implemented? https://www.wowhead.com/item=200563/primal-ritual-shell?bonus=6652:1475:5861:8766&class=4&ilvl=369&spec=259
and that takes up 4 slots

That hunter was bad lol
That hunter just like me 
that burst with IC is real 😄

Yeah boys we pumping ic for the win I got a few over hundreds now we are dog horses
Is assassination gonna be the go to for week one raid?
🤔
whats the name, cant find it lel
all 3 specs are really close right now
Legitimately any change could happen tomorrow and change it.
Plus say you like sub. Crit mastery are both GIGA stats for both. So you’re chuckling gearing
Im gonna go sub because I enjoy it a lot
if you check spreadhseet
you'll see all 3 specs are close

so just go what you like
ASSA ❤️
Getting used to the 6 mini cooldowns are a bit jarring in keys ngl.
If I don’t monkey out, I’ll pump tho
who wanna know where the dagger rare is
supposedly assassination is better in the tier lists ive seen from wowhead and icy veins
I wouldn’t pay attention to tier lists because a tuning change here and there changes everything

tbh assa was all the yeras so bullshit but now its insane with the new talnet tree, even aoe. I pref play poisen build rather then KB in aoe.
But if you’re lost it’s a launching point, sure!
Sin still slapped the last two tiers (not counting fated)
Even though it slapped in fated too just not as much as pirate
true
Didn't see it in the gear guide, how do the darkmoon and JC idol trinkets stack up?
Leather working 2set added ~1k compared to BiS in Sims, necklace was even with the bis neck in Sims.
Sure, but the ones I'm talking about are raid patterns
Idr, it was in a cave
u can get one of the snowball set from tuskar rep no?
Ugh really?
i think so?
Yeah, the gloves. They simmed the worst of the three setups though because haste drinks
Stinks**
needs a shit ton o frenown though
It's only 13
It's 25 for most patterns
Blizzard.jpg
But you only need 2 pieces for the set and the gloves perform the worst because of haste
As far as I can tell
what are the other slots
Wait no
Gloves outperform waist I think
Maybe? I'll check later I'm tired
Gloves+waist+bracers
Anyone done research on Renown, if theres anything spesific to focus on
It depends what rewards you want to focus on. This sheet has some info on the recipes tied to each renown. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WZk2jRYKMYBj0Oewjlr2yFreAMxN6NHCgD1jx6n_YoE/htmlview?ouid=107012572873431814566&usp=sheets_home&ths=true&pru=AAABhOYXfI8*URbyrIsMIcYO-kcfQWyKdw#
There are other things you can choose to focus on since basically everything can be bought with gold through the work order system
I'm downright sad about the crafted math
Is anyone using a combination of Vanish with Deathmark in a macro ?
Why would you ever do that
You shouldn’t do that 
after the fight start
🙂
just switched to ass trying to understand the mechanic but you are right
You don't want to use both moves at the same time though
is jeweled signet ring from court of stars really as strong as sims show or is raidbots likely being a dick and not simming right how is it better than the 389 arcane proc ring from the rep
It’s very stronk
It'll also be way higher ilvl than 389?
mines my 298 from last time it was up in timewalking
just seems wrong a socket and 298 is better than something alot higher
yea ill end up going for it but damn
Well the 389 arcane ring isn't working for melee anyways
gd blizz we have abilities too justice for melee
I think I heard someone say the proc is not implemented
Can you link your sim maybe? @merry onyx
if i run a quicksim with the arcane ring on it doesnt show any arcane damage procs in the breakdown
Sounds accurate KEKW
I got a nice Algeth'ar puzzle box and I'm wondering when is the best tiem to use it? Does poison/bleed snapshots? it gives 3k plus mastery.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7XYYasUzgzuKaVp1jvc9kH this is the quicksim doesnt appear to show any ring procs
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/r7aeaKF5JpuMDzkebyFw4H thats what it says with the 298 ring
so is it before you apply your DOTS and exsang or on deathmark window?
if the arcane proc isn't simming in raidbots that should make up the differance wouldnt it
100k sin dream soon
Nvm found it.
!fuu
Evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz
Sin will be 99.8k with Cevs new APL and the crafting set
I don’t want to drop gold on the crafting stuff 😞
Comfortable losing 1k DPS as sin and 2k as outlaw then?
Meaning buying the gear not making
It would only be for a short time assuming you get replacements quick w1 of raid
Even if you're LW you're gonna have to buy rank 3 stat missives, gems, etc
No the 2set outperforms every item for sin
Bleh
do you have the sim for that?
No. I don't fuck with the beta Sims they're using that includes new apls and consumables (haven't been added to live yet) but there's no reason to believe the crafting set will do anything but gain value
I dislike that a lot
4 target sim on fuus spreadsheet is taking dance, this outdated?
But I’m a hater
I also really hate the crafted sets. But they're gigantic.
That's almost edge of night territory
wait what do you mean? like crafted gear outperforms 421/424 M raid gear?
Respect
I tell my tank to space each pull 45 seconds when I play assass lol
Sounds like he should be pulling more Smdh
big pulls only
In heroics I wasn’t having too much of an issue with IC
Which is good because I legitimately have 0 haste
So even with IC rn there’s the occasional empty global 
My brain likes to shut off after I cast my third garrote
I learned about halfway through my final mythic last night that IC was not on my stealth bar
Yes. The patterns that drop from vault can be made into 418 gloves/wrists/bracers. They have a 2 set bonus that outperforms 421s in the same slots.
So all of my ICs were out of stealth 
Or rather, the gloves are from iskaar rep
Does bleed and poison snapshots mastery?
And it's haste only I think
Well
It should still agi/mastery dynamic
We used to have NS, but that was fixed afaik
So the best crafted gear is still time gated by vault? @strange python
Yes. To get it to 418 you'll also need items that drop from mythic bosses or +20 mythic+
I think
We don't have 100% confirmation on where Primal Infusions come from yet to my knowledge
Makes sense 
Which 2 set is the good one?
Does Deathmark duplicate immediately? Is it safe to Exsang the next GCD?
I'm guessing it's just a UI thing where it seems like my bleeds aren't duplicated immediately.
i love DTB, but absolutely HATE it as well.
every time you port into or out of a BG kiss good bye to your poisons
Yeah any loading screen removes my poisons
do not Exsang after deathmark
Always before
Bleeds are duplicated immediately, and are dynamic. But if you Exsang death mark you halve it’s duration since death mark itself is a bleed as well
Also any changing of zone
I learned last night 
Ah I see, what's the negative impact of reducing Deathmark's duration? Same net damage no?
Oh, just actually read it.
Reading comprehension op, thanks.
no worries homie, best of luck!
The JC neck 3 gem item can you get one without being a JC?
!fuu

Yes
Crafting Order
what are you guys spending your spark on?
Whatever is lowest after this week ends I guess, according to the interwebz you should get one every week or 2, so it's not too special or anything
mhm mhm makes sense
probably a dagger
but are the other parts hard to get? :p
spend it on the JC neck
It's not too far off m+0 gear anyway, so once m+ comes out you can easily get better gear
giga sockets
I might have to do neck yeah, cause my current neck has versa as main stat which is really bad
Save it for LW 2set
there's a ring you can get 389 so not a ring
is the the new talent tree fun?
proc doesn't work for rogues rn
those 389 rings are bad, got em they sim poorly

yea cuz it's "cast a spell" right? 😄
Probably doesn't include attack for some reason
forged by n'zoth
ye unlucky for rogues, warriors, and hunters ig
we just get fucked
works for everyone else tho
Out of UH dk. Arms warrior. And sin. What has the best execute
This epic leather armor of item level 350 goes in the "Waist" slot. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date with the latest patch.
Looks like crafted recipe from the raid gives a craftable set 🤔 altho the ilvl of 350 sucks
the ilvl on the recipes like that isn't right
but like is this actually that good for assa? it doesnt proc off dots so its kinda eh no?
they all say 350
u can upgrade them to 418 i think^
Yeah
is the crafted neck with special effect implemented on simc?
but how expensive is the gear gonna be?
Depends on your server
the mat are super insane right now.... I just sold this rare fish for like 1700 per fish...
we'll see how bad it gets
or good! hopefully
6
He was forced to go leatherworking
thats how it is day 2
if wrath launch is anything to go by it will die down quickly, right now there's not many players at 70 (haven't had a weekend yet since monday) + lots of lazy people buying things
So months from now the 2nd best items will be easy to get
iirc they drop from rares
I had like 7 from levelling 🤔
does picking wrathion give an extra quest or is that fake news?
oh, so the normal "do high lvl content" drop
yea it unlocks a whole bunch of quests in that zone
with 359 gear for like 3 of them
its not 359 gear
for me its 379
scales off equipped ilvl
you pick whoever you want
the one you didnt pick gives 2 quests
the one you did, gives 3
this doesnt seem that great for assa to be honest, sounds like low proc rate, and doesnt work on dots. so only mutil, envenom, shiv? idk... sim gods will tell us soon ig
and how do you get the sparks of ingwhateveritscalled
except the 1 quest reward one
just an example
there are tons of op leatherwork items
oh yeah thats the set i meant lol my bad! the boots seem pretty good for all 3 specs
getting benthic gear flashbacks with that
Why is it a 3 set but has unique-equipped of 2 🤔
I'll take bis crafting sets over benthic any day
Because u only need 2 of the 3 pcs to get the benefits of the set
Same way teir had 5 pieces but only 4pc bonus
Yea but you can equip 5 if you want to
All high level crafts are unique-2
They're called "embellished" items and it's crafted epic gear
Oh it's unrelated to the set itself 🤔 makes sense then
i think if you were all 3, it "also ads a stone to your snowball heavily slowing the enemies hit"
idk where I saw that tbh
Nah its negligible
race doesnt matter
play what you want
100% if they stun you and you could be a human instead
but in PvE nothing
Whats gonne be the best rogue spec in raid
what does vanish "with" deathmark mean? use deathmark from stealth?
🔮
You want to vanish to get another improved garrote once the first one drops
drops? do you let dots "drop" or just keep them up with refreshes from opener?
I was thinking of switching my nelf to velf but I can't give up Shadowmeld, I use it all the time to restealth if I'm still in combat for some weird reason in dungeons
so guys how assa doing so far on dungeons have you noticed getting outdamaged by a landslide or can assa keep up?
keeps up
Assa’s doing fine but the dungeons are a joke obviously
thats nice to hear
Impossible to tell balance in a pack that only lasts 10 seconds
started to feel kinda depressed playing outlaw as former assa main outlaw just dont have that some kinda kick
Seems fine to me for st & aoe 🤔 in my m+ groups I usually top dps
I'm doing dgs with a dh and a ele
And we all doing 29k 30k overall
I think it's good
Feels good at least
the CD on IC is problematic in m0s but pretty decent overal
You can easily reach like 80k+ dps even in mediocre gear if you go for the aoe build, like 25-35k on bosses
Yeah in these super low dungeons could just play dtb
sounds so cool time to refuge back to the assa camp really hoped that we could maybe be atleast decent after SL
I was getting comments in my m0 runs about how good assa numbers look
yeah i actually didnt try dtb
I've been able to pull similar numbers as the FAQ M+ spec using poison bomb and fishing animcharged CPs for poison bomb procs
wdym, the dh used imo aura and the dungeon is over in 7sec, ofc you can talk about current performance
yeh that'll happen in these low keys
Does it start to be less effective in high key situations?
IC+KB's damage profile becomes better
ty for info
In a different league right now lol
i mean
plot twist hes outlaw.
what are you comparing yourself to
also yeah dh has no monitpor
actual humans or actual bots
Lol do t matter whatever there still good lol
im not saying assa isnt good
I crank like that in LFR too
I mean my meters were similar in all m0, far ahead of everyone else, I guess it's possible they were all bad but
Alrite kids just enjoying myself … f hell . Rip here
idk dude I run with a ww and the every pac last like 8-9 seconds max. i dont even get to play the game in AOE packs...
still, spec is looking pretty good
He blew all his CDs the first pack and then posted it
no
the aoe touch of death stuff is kinda hilarious in steamroll keys
yeh same, can't wait for m+ when things last more than 3 seconds
that's an overall
^ could be overall after the very first pack. doubt assa can hold 50k overall when jpc on outlaw was doing like 35-40k last night at 360+
its 19mil dmg
No off not doing about 40k overall .
its just we have no context about your dps
Does the mastery buff from TT apply to our active bleeds or will it only boost refreshes?
… wow . Whatever have a nice day . Ment to be like pushing are assis brothers as been in the dirt
eh my dude be pumping thats all that matters.
i cant play the game bro. packs die in 6 seconds.
you need to get out of normal 😄
i do sick damage on bosses though pog
a 360 ww litearlly deletes M0 right now in like 7 seconds
I feel suffocation performs better for these early dungeons when stuff dies so fast. No hard data to back it up but if feels better than bone spike right now IMO.
pretty sure you always take shrouded
bonespike is not even played in the m+ build rn mate
bonespikes like 2-2.5% in ST but not worth in AOE I think
!fuu
Evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz
Anyone looked at the leatherworking patterns? Anyone planned out making spesific pieces?
I was more saying for people who are complaining things die to fast with burst aoe specs in their group. In case they were playing bone spike (the whole point of the trees is to try different things mate)
NO! there's literally 1 right answer and if that's not true i'm going to throw a temper tantrum
😜
When you exsanguinate, are you supposed to let the exsanguinated bleed fall off or pandemic it?
pretty sure u let it fall off
yeah fall off. If you use Luxthos' WA it accounts for that
pandemic only takes duration not damage or tick rate so u just let it bleed off
Do you lose the last tick if you refresh right before it falls off?
is dragontempered the easy version of sin
Fall off
And DTB is an easier (less button) version, sure
Just don’t forget to reapply every time you change zones

Are daggers a lie?
obviously
Birds dont exist
Real
are you ever delaying echo/exsang to line with deathmark?
No
^ that is talking about exang AFTER deathmark. if both are up u want to vanish garrote exang then deathmark
Yes
? it says 'do not exang during deathmark'
yes. exang BEFORE deathmark not DURING/AFTER
You Exsang before deathmark
never after and during
I need a Yippee-Ki-Yay sound WA for everytime i press exang
that's not what i asked lol
ah someone explained
yup I was confused
btw how good is the puzzle trinket for assa? its kinda clunky to use in dungeons because of the 3 min not really lining up with things...
pretty sure trinkets havent been simmed
this?
but its like 3 minutes
idk maybe if packs lasted longer it would be good but right its only noticable on bosses for me
yes the 3 minute trinkets can be good
without it im doing like 30-35k ST with it im doing like 45-50 LOL
oooh i just figured out you can shiv the ragestorming heyenas in brackenhide hollow to get them to stop whirling
on what fight timer tho
cause if its 1 minute ofc its good
litearlly 20-30 seconds. on M0 everythings dying in that time frame
i mean yea
And the cast time sucks
its 3k mastery for 20 seconds for a 20-30 second fight timer
I have a M0 one too unfortunately
ofc it will seem good
yeah the cast is awkward af specially for outlaw
Feel like it'll still hold value for Sinners
just precast it like font
Yep... just gets a little complicated during encounter
Like would we send it on CD or hold for DM?
I think hold
If you're playing it pirate you can just use it pre pull and whenever ADR isnt up
that trinket massive value if you use during right times like massive pulls
I'm thinking in terms of raid encounters
you precasted font so you'd get another use trinket in, cause cast time + 30seconds duration meant you had like 14 seconds overlap
I think you send. unless the fight is 6 min + its wasted otherwise.
Yeah that does make sense
and font was 4-5 seconds
if for raid you probably still use before opener
It would line up with exsang but not your second DM
Guess you could hold for your second DM
er third
yeah something like tha t
Btw do we know if the set bonus of the snowball thingy procs off dots or not?
🤷♂️
uh is there a way to see or check my opener on a dummy? i feel like vanish makes it really weird and just resets
add however much damage you did to the rest of your damage as a weighted add by time lul. but yeah wlogs is better
what does shiv practically do for kingsbane? makes it ramp faster?
it makes it do more damage
Pew pew
https://www.wowhead.com/item=202119/assembly-scholars-loop
is this bugged even in sims or just insanely low ppm?
This blue ring of item level 389 goes in the "Finger" slot. In the Rings category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date.
bugged
is there anything you have to do when preparing for the 2nd kingsbane? just have 2 shiv charges and envenom before it?
Ye
hi whispyr big fan
Hello
Thats a huge pile of garbage man, i hate it

Trust me
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve swapped zones and been like “oh, I have no energy, fuck fuck fuck fuck”
How do I get out of my work trip
Exsang to make it shorter
Just use vanish

I really wish we didnt have to press so many dam buttons.....
Button bloat across all three specs does feel bad tbh
With KB+Enven+shiv.
which order is optimal, I remember reading something on it in the faq but ive gone braindead and cant find it.
Nvm, found it.
Does anyone have an issue with activating DeathMark? Sometimes I need to press 5-7 times for it to activate. May it have issues with AcrobaticStrikes ?
Might just be me but I've occasionally been hearing a clicking sound when I'm in stealth. Almost like a key is stuck...Anyone else experiencing this?
!opener
faq
Guys. I can not get it. In Assassination FAQ stated that there is an opener sequence which is not present in simcraft. Also the FUU BiS sim is not following that opening sequence priority which is recommended in faq section. https://mimiron.raidbots.com/simbot/report/xeNwCxfvyCoNsoLZcnb2iK
Can you please tell me how can I emulate sim with that opening sequence and where the conclusion that it is better came from?
the sim you linked is accurate
I talk about why we suggest a different opener in the faq
wrong channel
Ok thanks I get it. It is still interesting how can I build that opener sequence and sim with it to evaluate dps loss. I saw you wrote about 0.5% but it is in BiS gear, and I would like to know according to my items if it is possible.
is there a macro that uses ambush instead of mutilate when available?
it's still 0.5%, I did the sims in 230 greens and then copied them into bis
it just makes the number higher
You can hop into outlaw chat and type !ambush there. I think you might be able to reproduce the same thing with assa
if you want to go for it yourself, you can make a custom APL to emulate it

it's super fucking janky
Yeah not enough knowledge from my side to modify APLs like that) But thanks for the answers again!
yeh simming openers is a huge pain in the ass and usually is avoided honestly, moving a couple gcds around isn't gonna affect too much
you're using deathmark while shrouded is still active
so the duplicated garrote is giving shrouded cp
do we use instant or deadly poison?
deadly is just instant with a dot
deadly, or if you're talented into it amp poison

how much are yall simming for ?

sin m+ fun :D
Its so fun
big dam
what is it about KB+IC that feels so energy starved in ST?
just a lack of gear at this point cause the talents aren't really that much different?
Which kinda build are you folks using for dungeons?
no venom rush
ugh. i was thinking that. man does it suck
wonder if we'll give up iron wire for that on tyrannical weeks
sounds incredibly troll
yeah. just feels bad having no energy on st with this, but its early in the game
its not getting better

Oh no I get that. Like I said in the other discord, more about a better understanding of the spec

wait are DTB and KB that close to eachother? o.O
yes
sure
carnage is cool but adding kingsbane + 2x shiv to minmax to m+ rotation which already has er/exang actually makes it less fun than dtb, agreed
chillness is highly underrated
so this does apply to m+?
its like 1% behind on dungeonslice sims with tier, and ahead without tier
i think that makes it competitive
it's not ahead without tier
The spec is fun af.
why did haste fall so far on our stat prio?
Idk. All ik is until I get enough haste to where I'm not energy starved during M0 i'm losing a point in lethality for my mana tea lmao
Cause it sucks. bleeds and poisons doing more dmg = mastery is better
Haste actually is an awful feeling stat for rogues compared to other classes
Glad it's low prio all specs
you're gonna be waiting a long time for that one champ
Imagine haste being the number one stat for outlaw, as if it wasn't fast enough already :p
On most classes haste compresses the rotation. on rogue (and feral) the gcd is hard locked to 1s so no amount of haste will compress the rotation
This means the major benefit of haste is more ticks which is nice but like wh
Any consensus on which reputation's would be best to focus on first?
depends on your goals
is this headgear worth to use spark of ingenuity for? granted that the tier headgear is from last boss.
its bis outlaw
not for sin tho
but also recrafts will be expensive
just wait for mythic mats
what would you advice for use of spark then?
save till mythic week
see what u get first reset
craft it in a slot u didnt get gear
is atrophic still tied to enviroment damage? or is just flat -% dmg now? I missed this beta note and only noticed it today lol
I mean, its flat % from boss but some dmg is classed as enviromental and that dmg is unaffected by this debuff I beleive
question is their a spec for M0/M+ that does not use Echoing reprimand ( hated it in shadowlands )
It’s our best capstone.
It’s also nice since we have the legendary so it’s a bit less trolly
ye righto. ty
indiscriminate carnage seems... very good
its the "assa can finally be decent in keys" button
whats the energy breakpoint with venomous wounds?
ye, when you generate more than you can spend
saturation is 35 energy
so
10 baseline, maybe 11
you need 24 a second from bleeds
So 4 bleeds out? 😮
Wait, no
Bleeds don't tick every second, so... would probably be 5-7?
Depends on your haste and talents
i dare u carnage users to try dtb, i bet you higher dmg plus feels better
nah not having to adderall keep track of 8 things in m+ feels great
im leveling rn and enjoying carnage
i think carnage actually better for leveling probably for instant aoe
but when chain pulling, cooldowns desyncing due to mobs dying soon, and doing mechanics, not having to worry about that shit in dungeons with DTB is nice
hmm actually good point let me sim that
thrown precision is going to crush
we don't have giga combinator sims
but you can sim 10k combos for talent tree right?
i can only sim 3k before i run out of iterations
Didn't some fool do like 100mil iteration at some point?
like everyone else
we do not
Sin gonna be bis raid spec?
so its just beta simc access to have a TC account?
yes
I don't think so, it's best ST spec rn. And it's about even on two targets but losing with more target's on outlaw. HO build is some crazy aoe dmg meanwhile assa do aoe dmg only with Vanish/IC
True
community is more split than israel/palestine on god
But for my trash guild it's all about numbers tho 😄 I will main assa but will switch for bosses when needed
On a fight like Brood where mobs will frequently get spread out? Yeah if you have an opportunity to IC then it'll be strong af
The new sin tree looks fun, didn’t really play it in pre patch
Since outlaw was giga all fated
I can’t believe Whispyr is going to make us play assa again. How dare you
I tried playing Sin a bit on beta but I was having energy issues, it felt really bad. Maybe I needed the right talents for it
it's true, whispyr kidnapped my family and told me if I play anything except assassination he's going to kill them
Can confirm this happened
can also confirm, I was the chair watching it happen
when u run out of energy you press tea
at least in a dungeon
feels good man
tea actually less bad then i thought it would be
i do my dungeon garrote opener and press tea to refill empty energy bar + get big mastery right before DM
yeah never been a fun of those types of abilities tbh. I despised using black ox brew on monk too
Blink twice if he's also holding you hostage.
Wish tea was more of DPS cooldown, usually use it outside of CDs as filler cos during CDs you are good with energy
people asking everyday which is the best spec so they can parse 30 in normal
i have a question about preparing for exsang, i feel like sometimes I am in a spot where I have to refresh a rupture but exsang is coming up soon enough that the duration of the rupture wont be very long before I refresh again with ER, is it worth to just use a low cp rupture to get pandemic for exsang?
or am I doing something wrong with timings and this shouldnt happen
What is the difference in dps between sustained dps and the other with kingsbane talent tree?
It's sim same in bis and same in my 368 gear
Every tier I played since 6th anniversary required spec switching during raid, but would be nice to have raid guide for rogue to know how and why is spec stronger on certain bosses. But assa players hating on outlaw and vice versa so propably not going to happen. After first will I will figure it out myself but did not play beta
So depends what rotation i like the most? :)) Oh nice
they don't hate on each other, they just enforce their preferences by making sassy comments about other specs
There is less (none) user error playing DTB so it's better for most (me) but kinslgsbane provide better execute and for some it's more fun
i think a useful rogue to a raid group should know to play all 3 specs, and this xpac is easy to do. not like in sl
Ever since I have started playing, I have had to spec swap once in mythic raiding. And that was slg
You don't have to spec swap if you play your spec well unless you raid top 50
At least in assa's case
Sub in bfa was something else I admit
wait you played assa early cn? were you in a different guild than now
unless you do world first there's little to no need switching spec, unless your group really needs that 2-10% dps
makes sense, assa was ok on denny even before 0.5
All 3 specs this expansion look solid so everyone can play what they want
assa has great cleave and boss dmg, but when boss spawns 10 adds and black powder goes brr, people feel bad for being behind. You can't do them all on a single spec unless its horribly balanced
Luckily there's other classes that can handle those adds
And you can do what you do best, slap boss or prio target
exactly
but i choose to want to kill the boss
I don't agree with this tbh
Switching into sin is way harder now than it was in Shadowlands
There's tons of more room for error I feel
there's a lot of mental gymnastics for sin, i agree, but i also think its a good idea to know the spec
or at least practice the rotation for a bit, know the basics and apply them to the fights if somehow its needed to play sin on progression
sin execute on prog will be big
as much as i love sub for example i can't get into the danse macabre with 1 dance type of play, so i know how to do it, i just want to avoid playing it
bleeds go brr sounds better this tier 
Ye but I feel like that's not the case with the current sin rotation with exsang and ER
i actually love DM 😄
in SL I could sleep during prog
I have feeling that's not gonna be the case currently
DM is monk mechanics, screw that 
But I might just need some practice to get comfortable with it
DM is not Death Mark here?
damn these abreviations
imagine the time we're saving in this life writing DM instead of death mark or danse macabre 

Makes me think of this guy

No SND in Multi Target opener cause most of the time it should already be active or are we straight up not using it in multi target fights?
cant find a keybind for Gouge
guys please - I know I never exsanguinate during deathmark, but is it okay to cast deathmark and after that exsang? I am not sure I undestood the charts in FAQ section
sorry I messed up - I meant vice versa - I start with exsang and next step is deathmark
I think its More beneficial to exsang and then deathmark because deathmark duplicates the exsanged dots
more of an
its either active allready
or its a target count where activating SnD is really low priority
Hi, I used to have a weak aura counting the amount of ruptures/garrotes I had up (no timers, just the amount) but can't seem to find it anymore on wago. Anyone has somthing similar?
hey folks - i have some noob question. Im pretty new to sin and saw that Garrote had 2 seperate debuffs - the regular one and another one ? where does it come from and is it somehow an empowered version ?
ID: 703 - the normal one
ID: 360830 - the one im asking where it comes from```
hope its not to much of a noob question xD
Is anyone else's posions spell not opening when it's on bars?
had teh same and dragged the poisons directly on my bars
Same... Must be a bug np, ty anyway 🙂
if you are using elvui make sure to update it
it had some bugs with poisons and other stuff that opens, like m+ portals
There's some weird bug where you can use atrophic poison even if you don't have it talented if you put it on your weapon and then swap spec and swap back
you have to not use dtb I think
but pretty much you can just untalent it and change to the 20% increased for free 😄 min maxing to a whole new level
Pop-out spells like poisons aren’t working with most addons. If you use vanilla bars they work.
Just realized IC affect both garrote and rupture on the same cast 

Do you guys that have done m0s have any impressions on Assa performance ?
its good
I assume the trash is dying too fast to get proper performance review
This
Everything does so fast .
for dungeons/m+?
Do we know what embelishment items we want yet, or is that still a work in progress?
!fuu
Evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz
I can't see embelishents on there. I may be blind though.
maybe the blue silken lining for the extra mastery or if not an alch maybe the flavor pocket for meals
Was thinking maybe the fang weapon one also, but i'm not sure if it procs on all our stuff
It's for weapons only. Physical skills have a chance to deal additional physical damage. I think it should proc off everything except envenom / kingsbane
But if its good or not is a different story

Are the crafted gears worth or are we gonna replace them so quick its eh
They will scale up to mythic raid ilevel with loot from the raid, so can be great

how much better is phial of static empowerment than glacial. i feel like it will be shit in raid since we always moving
May I ask a question regarding Exsanguinate/Deathmark and your bleeds? I understand that on the rotation Ex > Deathmark when both Garrote and Rupture are on. But I wondered, should you refresh both WHILE Ex/Deathmark is active, or only when the bleeds ends and you then reapply? Does re-applying during Ex/Deathmark count as a DPS loss or do they just...continue on bleeding based on the debuff status?
you shouldn't refresh exsanguinated bleeds, let them bleed off
Obviously DM lasts longer than an EX bleed..so let them fall and then quickly reapply so DM can continue?
i believe so
this might be a dumb question: for the raid build, do we apply amplifying poison or still deadly
amp if specced
thanx
I think it lives long enough, depends on the group by at like ~350ilvl you can see assa is good vs others
Morning sinners
GM
Yes, damage good
just asking cus i am assa pvp and kinda want to do m+ but i pref assa over any other rogue spec
so i won't go outlaw if assa can be okay
It can be okay for sure
!fuu
Evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz
Yo my boy! Assas is phenomenal in m+
It’s blasting in current content
i thought exsanguinate worked on all targets for a moment, almost had an erection
So, in a perfect world, every 45s we're going to apply a fresh garrote, ER, Rupture, exsanguinate? Or do we not worry about refreshing garrote?
Refresh garrote 100%
if you have a ww/dh
yeha
you wont do dmg cus stuff just implodes
if i'm omega strapped for time and can only try master 2 specs, i assume i just drop sub?
What's the longest we hold a CD? 5s?
This
I would argue only one as long as shitsang is a thing
Invalid
nah just my opinion. imo they destroyed my class
combat and sub been shit long and now they ruined sin aswell
is there any way to sim profession gear?
Just don't compare your m+ dmg to monk or DH right now in AOE 😵💫🤕
Play outlaw then 
?
Monk is a lot of touch of death
i didnt mean profession equipment
And assa is good
DTB gang
i meant which pieces are best to craft (regarding effects and such)
The comment was regards to trash, and being Assa
Yea ofc no m+ rn
I'm an Assa enjoyer.
Dude, it's 1 keybind.. channel your inner taylor swift and calm down
oh lol
We were fucking around hardcore in m0s and I was hitting 50-60k on trash packs with 340 daggers.
don't even get me started on the ability bloat on sin rn
yea and we already had to many imo
We had less than Outlaw and within like 1 of Sub...
Go play DH if you want 3 keybinds
That what I do now
Lmao just put a bar in the middle of the screen and click it
in the opener it says to rupture after ER. But sometimes, i dont know why, but ER doesnt overcharge my 2nd combo point so I can get a long rupture
Maybe he is a troll 🤨
do i have to get to the overcharged cp and rupture then?
Do you have the correct talent
resounding clarity?
Idk what it's called
In ST you go multiple animacharged talent (I forgot the name), which means you're basically guaranteed to get it
The animacharged cp ones
Slightly harder in m+ but not terrible
You always go that
assass in dungeons have been so much fun
Really? Because I imported the string from the FAQ and it didn't have it
At least for the m+ build
they should have left the cov spells in Slands where they belong tbf
Is that an import flaw?
What did it have
I have not once seen the other talent
The Animacharged does more damage one for m+
I would love for that to be wrong and something fucked up in the import
Because I hate that so much
yea i was practicing my opener 😄 lvl 64 on my rogue atm
I'll reimport tonight and look. I imported like a week ago or so and it had the "ER does more damage" node. Maybe something went wrong in my import or something, because I 100% didn't change it to something I hate
The opener is for level 70s. Your opener pre-70 will be diffferent
Seems sussy
I mean just talent into it
Remove something and get it
You also don't have seal fate
Which is uh

he's not level 70 yet
You can get seal fate before 70
🤓
It's the single biggest thing for assa in the class tree
Probably a stupid question, but with the M+ build, when we go to do a ST opener on a boss, do we just replace SBS with a Mut?
Doesn't ER make SL kinda bad? Never played with ER so dont have any experience with it
anyone got useful macros for sin? my buttons are too bloated right now and it's so hard to play
No? It doesn't matter if you don't hit them instantly
You have 45 seconds
You can usually macro ambush and mutilate onto one button
is the elemental lariat what we wanna use our spark on
does that really work reliable?
It has worked decently well but I might go back to having them on separate buttons. I need to actually get some time in dungeons before I finalize my binds
that is what I thought
theres a lot of cosmetics from reputation but many of them are missing daggers, you got all kinda swords and other weapons
like Cobalt weapons look amazing but no dagger, so disappointing
Is it just me or is the assa opener just insane? 😮
I’ve played UHDK (which was also a mess) and shadow priest in SL, wanted to try out Assa but wow.. the opener with Exsang, ER, Shiv, Kingsbane, Deathmark, SBS, the weird double usage of Rupture and Garrote just blew my mind. Don’t get me wrong it’s not about pulling this off - it just feels really really wrong ^^
Why would the extra CPs matter if we have ER up 100%?
It feels nice when you pull it off rotation and mobs aren’t dying fast
because our CP generation is trash
even with seal fate
so without SF, it's atrocious
is it confirmed yet that HoV is getting a dagger drop?
Or are we outlaw where our finishers don't do dmg
haven't done any beta stuff
Check in-game drop table?
its not there
😴
Got the turtle shell trinket from the tuskarr legendary soup boss
when does the community feast event happen btw
The best version is the mastery proc, correct ?
only ever seen the completed message
It's every 3.5h I think
Wow head has timer
I mean yeah the dmg really feels good but cmon.. you also have to orchestrate 1x shiv between 1x kingsbane between 1x deathmark. That’s so wild and also so much potential to mess it up. SBS feels like 1 button too much to press. (Exsang also btw). Reminds me of UHDK - you would Pop Unholy Blight, Dark Transformation and apocalypse in that order but atleast the spells would kinda line up xD
Assa was literally 4 buttons before
ty
Perfection
other options are a heal, an absorb, and a fire damage proc
each is 1 ppm so depends on how much the fire damage is ig
but seems like mastery is better tbh
Assa is wrath is 2 buttons but still feels great 🫢
Nah this version is the best I have played so far
tbh
And it's not even close
this is my fav iteration of M+ sin
Yeah now sin in m+ is way more fun imo
Not talking about M+ here btw. I’m about pure ST build.
M+ Sin just bursts hard af - I haven't played around much with the ST build yet. I'll be spending time on the dummies this weekend for that
Less of a hectic battle at pull to put up the most bleeds possible
hows sin Dungeon slice vs the other specs atm?
We keeping up with outlaw in m0? Im guessing we will shine in higher keys?
I think sin is still consistently behind outlaw in dslice ?
!fuu
Evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz
Just, not by such a massive margin as before
right now kinda hard to tell in-game
a bunch of the pumper specs are just missing gear
True
Another thing I just realized.. Zoldyck Soup is IN fcking SANE!! 45% dmg amplify on poisons/bleed at 35% will have so much nerf potential.
This is definitely assa expansion.
i didn't even notice
First thing I noticed
wait
Starts off at 30% hp x)
