Yes
k thx 🙂
wise mari not counting bricked our temple of the jade serpent just now
which is fine since it's first boss, but we didn't notice and full cleared -_-
council was my best fight with sin actualy, just went with the M+ build and kept dotting, fan of knives, crimson tempest, wasn't too bad honestly
Did you go IC?
Yeah, I should have done that aswell 🙂 Did ST build with DTB and got a meager 72 parse xD
Doing HC tomorrow, will try that build then!
and enchants and stuff stay on the weapons when u recraft y?
@dawn elm yes
Sin feels amazing, never had this much fun with the spec tbh
we're also crazy strong atm
if you have all bleeds and SND going, ambush is prio over mutilate right?
isn't it always prio?
I think so, the way I read the FAQ but wanted to double check
Yes
is it me or does DTB seem to do more than the kingsbane build
even tho the sim is higher for kingsbane
What consumables do you guys use anyway?
with dtb build do we shiv on cd. or we try to keep 1 shiv for dm?
Dtb sims higher than kings. By 1.5% i believe i’ve seen
On cd
On cd
agree, it's fun as hell
does quality of embellishment only affect difficulty
Ye
@balmy condor how are you
anyone know of any good & reliable sin youtubers? looking for some guides for raid/m+ as i learn better through vids but i dont want to have to sift through all the click baity bs
higher qual = less difficulty
daps got 4p and I got 0p. Please bully him
I was gonna do it anyway
but thank you for the incentive
Perfect

if im swapping between outlaw and sin, what should my wep enchant be for now? i remember reading it somewhere but cant find
who did you piss off on loot council ?
He wasn't even in my run wtf
I couldn't have stolen from him
you took his spot in that run
Nop
yep
He only has 2 chars
Could be simming 65k... smh Fotmrogue
I'm INNOC3NT
😦
I am too tired to be bullied right now :S
Go to bed man
7.2k from tier set heroic
In bath
Or if you're in bed, turn the discord off
not bad
Fair
Then I go slep
Normal
Been playing 16 hours today haha

hey with death mark and vanish are we vanish and refreshing garrote and rupture to max duration before hitting death mark or just vanishing and hitting deathmark?
anyone know someone who can make fang rank 3?
Seek help
Vanish is for improved garrote
gotcha so we just vanish, improved garrote and then death mark
Yeah that works
does buzzing rune only apply to 1 weap now?
Ik we get the extra poison, but what actually is it that sees the Dragon Tempered Blades do a little bit more damage than kingsbane? (At least for me)
On Kingsbane, I can see the damage that Kingsbane adds etc.
(Or I guess, what is it just the extra poison that adds the damage?)
last night it was applying to 2
try applying tot he wep
Threat plates
i get that bug sometimes too

hmm, I guess deadly poison does pump
It just never looks that way
I guess
Cause I’m only doing +5 & normal
But Envenom be pumping it’s load like mad
it never looks flash on my damage meters
How is it possible that DTB dungeonslice and KB+IC dungeonslice are simming so close to one another...where does the DTB aoe damage come from?
But it just feels smoother & nicer to play
poison bomb
Gotta pump bro
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
That’s an entirely different thing than wow. 
Both take CT
CT is a large part of both of their aoe
Carnage just has a little more aoe
But less single target
They balance out like that
without kingsbane when should we be using shiv? or do we just need to not overcap
You sync both charges to kingsbane
what about without kingsbane?
Oh yeah, @balmy condor, did you manage to get plater set up? Wanted to snag yours to compare to what I got
Nameplates go a bit nuts with DTB and every other DoT under the sun
Bless, thanks
Np
truee
Is there a weapon consumable we are using this expac? similar to the oils and sharpening stone
buzzing stone afaik

if you use the puzzle box on sin, you'd use it before or after?
sim logic is saying after but mental logic says before since DM will duplicate the juiced dots no? it wouldnt duplicate juiced dots if it was DM into box
hi, what is the best build for assa ST build ?
check assa channel
If you're doing DM/exang then use it before you apply the ER rupture
Unsure on when with DTB
what do ya'll think is the best slot to spend early valor on? I feel like spending it on a tier slot isn't going to be that good.
i think listening to the faq is better in general than to the sim
!bis

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
with the mythic+ build KB+IC no exsang my opener is get all bleeds up then deathmark > envenom > KB > shiv?
Just looking for a general opinion do yall think its worthwhile to craft the alchemist trinket (the phial one) for M+ and raid?
!whispyer
whats the pandemic range on empowered garrote?
also shadowmeld > garotte does benefit right?
oh wait mb its in faw just in small text beneath rotation
is bone spike supposed to be an awkward button to use
truly a thinking mans spec
any reason why my deathmark dmg is so low but on logs its peoples like 4th highest dam?
Logs combine the Deathmark effects, open the drop-down
thank you
hey its the same rotation as wrath!

need blizz to make sbs and tea reset on boss wipes please and ty
when running D-TB, when's the best time in the opener to use casted trinkets?.
Anytime before dm
cool, alrighty

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Would you keep Crimson Tempest up on one target or just if there is multiple targets?
So i'm working on making my crafted dagger with embellishments, and I'm confused about what the "power" part of the crafting window is?
The infuse with power?
If you’re running amp, generally no
Otherwise yeah you can toss it in every now and then
It’s not too big of a deal either way
That’s item level
like, the infuse with power?
Yes
I don't even get wtf embellishments are other than they are crafted
First time in a long time I feel like major noob in an expansion lmao
lol
additional effects to an item
they are "embellished"
So gear like the ring from cobalt rep?
Anyone have a WA for shiv's 8 sec buff?
And yet if you were here for the last 2 nerfs everyone was crying it was dead and yelling at me for saying sin is fine
Me, using shiv twice in a row like an idiot
its a 50/50 prediction yo xD
i was a sub boy but im a sinbeliever now
(at least for raid)
@balmy condor is there any good reason that my envenom would crit like 15% 
i actually got bozoratioed
Skill diff
I was comparing myself to a dummy and I cast everything the same amount of times
20% poison crit
20% env crit
20% mut crit
Sim? 35-40% on all

ic in keys is nuts. never have i broken 100k before
Oh
i only played sin in season 1 of SL. Tonight first night had the chance to run some keys finally
i can ask questions in here right?
yes
Careful - Whispyr is vicious
You have to ask it in the form of a rhetorical though
i answered my own question nvm
This sims higher than ilevel 372 puzzle box 
actually 1 question, when if ever in m+ do i use ambush, seems like its always better to just use stealthed garrote? raid as well?
Perfect execution
Yep
Always garrote
It’s a good trinket
ok cause the icy guide says use ambush whnever its usable, im still leveling so maybe i havent encountered a talent that makes that work?
@balmy condor , is putting valor into a back a good investment? i dont wanna waste it, especailly if i get tier pieces.
for ST that is
Blindside
NGL - thats f'd me up a few times - since i play HO Outlaw... I press Ambush out of habit
ah i misread that talent, ty <3
I probably wouldn’t upgrade a back for my first choice but sure
I love trinkets that sim higher than puzzle box
ok. am I thinking right in wanting to avoid using it on tier slots? assuming I can get them ofc lol.
Yeah
I just love passive trinkets
My guide suggests weapons, trinkets, and special effects like signet of melandrus
Then any low level pieces
I would honestly save valor for weapons and trinkets only, especially since the cap starts out at 1500
Idk
I think Signet as a first choice is reasonable
You craft a dagger which you can use mainhand

Trinkets are mostly raid drops
There’s some good trinkets from m+
But idk if those are worth at first
Imagine getting raid trinkets 
we running indiscrim carn on council boys?
Yes
I must've not done it right, cuz I did more damage with the dragon tempered build than carnage
with the mythic+ build KB+IC no exsang my opener is get all bleeds up then deathmark > envenom > KB > shiv?
Yes
is the assass guide page updated? i was away for like a week and some nerfs happened. me noob so i read for help. lmao
The sky is falling because exsanguinate is RUINED.
ahem In all seriousness no nerfs so far have been anything to really write home about. In my opinion at least.
The Poison bomb Nerf was a bit confusing if anything.
Before dm
fair enough, was gonna play it anyways, just trying to figure out my rotation :D
For the most part yeah
The rotation togglers are a bit messy
But everything else is fine
Curious why the guide for S1 gear says we want to prioritize Haste then Crit, but for our general stat importance haste is listed as the third stat behind crit and mastery.
make sure to only select one or it gets reeeaaal messy
Thanks for the quick replies! Much appreciated. 
xd
ty whisp
Should I primal infusion weapon or neck?
Where does it say that
For prog probably better to get a high ilvl dagger first, then the neck
Effect wise the neck effect is stronger than the weapon effect however
Nothing this expansion is more complicated than the fucking crafting
Trying to figure out which items are best to craft, which embellishments, whether or not to risk a public order
Only do public order if you don't care about quality and/or plan to recraft later anyway
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
In Order: dagger/neck probably, fang adornment/lariat is the embellishment, never public order
I play both Outlaw and Assassin - the embellishments don't overlap, I'm pretty sure.
At this point might just be easier to level a second rogue
L bozo
I mean it is a personal problem, nothing really anyone can do about it
Now you listen here...
Seriously, with how embellishments work: It feels like just having a second toon would be easier
i've been a sin rogue since Cata and this is the most fun i've had with the spec.
do i maintain/try to maintain Crimson tempest in a purely ST situation
I also play warrior quite a bit, so I wouldn't really complain about this.
im still a 2 spark gamer

0 clue how those things work and havent googled it yet so lul
but i can craft t3 fang so 😎
On the S1 Gear tab of the guide.
Ah that’s a typo
I’ll get that fixed
Everywhere else should be fine
do i try and maintain crimson tempest in a m+ ST/boss situation or just get more Envenoms in
You can do either, it’s not a big deal
Should have like 3 rogues minimum tbh
If you’re playing with DTB, you should just envenom
@balmy condor would taking the second shadowstep node be catastrophic for damage? if not whats best to drop?
just for a certain fight or two
I hope you're memeing
Ok thanks for clearing that up. I’ve read through your guide top to bottom and that part had me going back trying to make sense of it and whether I missed something lol
For dtb you the bleed nodes are about 2% behind
You would just drop the fatal concoction stuff
Yeah just a lot of pages which make little side-comments about things
Hard to keep track sometimes
whetstone simming 0.5% better than buzzing rune in patchwerk, idk if it's a ilevel thing
.5% 
Can you link it?
I copied the weapon enchants thing from Fuu's consumable string, idk if i fucked up something
You mean it's not normal to have 4 rogues?
Seems fine
But that’s super whack
I have 2 Rogues. 1 alliance and 1 horde

Hey guys, new here just had a quick question about the Subterfuge and Master Assassin nodes, do they synergize together? As in does Subterfuge make stealth "active" or is it only "allows stealth abilities"
I'm thinking about my pvp opener wondering if I will be using 3 stealth abilities or not, currently I'm debating between Cheap Shot, Garrote, Garrote with the two nodes above or, Garrote, Bone Spike, Mutilate, Rupture without Subterfuge
@peak bobcat I'M RICH
they do not
OH SHIT
subterfuge lets you use stealth abilities out of stealth but doesn't grant stealth
Fated? Can you exchange that for an EoN?
I wish it could be exchanged for anything at this rate
So any tips to not suck during council? lol

Hey all! First off just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you guys for helping keep the rogue community strong! Is there a trinket ranking list somewhere? I know I should trust the sims, but raidbots is telling me to have two on-use trinkets (Horn of Valor and Windscar Whetstone) and idk why but i don't like that....
2 on use trinkets is very annoying
agreed
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Bloodmallet is typically good. But simming yourself is always best
lol
yea i saw bloodmallet finally has the rogue modules implemented
unsure if accurate but i guess its something at least
2 puzzle boxes, 4 seconds to become super saiyan
Id just check what the difference is between the on use and other trinkets you have/want to use
See if it's a big difference or <1%
There's also a list in
!whispyr

Hello, is the bronze wrapping still bugged?
The appropriate time to use it is on cooldown
Idk how you would track that
kk
Unsure
Ah ok, thank you
sorry was overthinking it basically just keep bleeds and poisons up
all 3 rogue spec is in top 3 in heroic vault
hey guys got a question for you
is there a way to make a macro that will replace mutilate with ambush when it procs?
lotta keybinds atm with rogue... running out of space.
just want a conditional macro
Speaking of it, can Someone explain to me the whole crafting thing in pm maybe? Is it mandatory to Go with crafted items? If yes, which items and how does the ilvl work on crafted things?
is this big?
Not for assa
But none of the specs recommend anything that abused the bug
So it super doesn’t matter
what was the bug exactly?
Nightstalker was still giving 50% for outlaw and sin
good to know, how much of a difference was it in dps?
epic
does nightstalker not buff the first tick of the garrote?
It does
or it does but it's just 1 tick so the dmg really was negligible
It buffs the first tick and nothing else
ok but why?
Why what
sorry, referencing the guy the other day
Oh
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
oh right
I thought OG nightstalker buffed the entirety of ticks, and that's why we used to vanish rupture at some points
Did they really make it only power up the first tick of things?
Kinda cringe
So you need to be in stealth or shadow dance to receive the effect
Well ran quite a bit of M+ as Sin, and idc what sims says, its fun and slaps either way 😄 DTB build particularly helpful to balance AoE and down bosses, since we are all relatively low ilvl it helps
kinda sad not being able to see the mad burst aoe of Carnage, but DTB ist just better in there
Just want to make sure my common sense is working…. We aren’t taking exsanguinate in any situation now right?
We are
how much are you seeing in keys overall
KB single target build
Is there a time where DTB is doing better? Because I’m swimming/doing more ST damage in Kingsbane under all circumstances.
do we still make a lariat neck
yes
i think dtb pulls ahead with 2pc set
alternative is flame cowl w/ the diurna ring
crit mastery i assume
aye
kk ty ty

depending on the key and speed 40k-55k, I'm not a top player that much I want to make clear.
Carnage is great for trash but bosses slap at +12/+14, and DTB has seved me better there while still doing great aoe on trash packs. I do miss using Carnage sadly
yes this is why i went sub over outlaw
ST was 💩
even tho similar overall
I plan to play Sub over the week-end, I tried in a lower key and it felt good, but Sin did help solve some issues (Tree boss in academy, team was not that great on it, popped Exsang/ Deathmark on boss when he hit 35% and that solved the issue lol)
Does poison bomb have any kind of internal cd or am I just having rough luck with anima charges in m+? First env tends to pop one but I won't see another for 5-6 seconds
Usually landing 2-3 charges in there
got a bit lucky today
i did a +2 Nokhud Offensive with my friends earlier (first keystone of the season) and it felt good, I see where packs of 2-4 are kinda awkward, but anymore than that and i took off on dmg. Still trying to find a groove with my tank buddy for how many packs we can pull at a time but I also dont have anyone else to base my dmg off of. Aside from the dickhead centaurs that have the shout, we could pull pretty hefty.
on boss fights it does start to feel weak and slows down a lot if it goes longer than like a minute, hopefully as people get fatter and fatter geared, kill times reduce, the slowness I feel with IC build will disappears? what do yall think
It’s a random chance
Ok, so I'm just rolling snake eyes tonight? Good to know XD
It won’t get much faster
how come?
i mean... the more youre geared the higher your key will go aswell so it wont get faster
should I hold DM for puzzle box late in the pull?
If you won’t miss a cast you can hold for whatever you want
I remember for SL doing 15s and pushing bosses over in a minute or so, unless that was just the legendaries really leading the charge
When I crunched the numbers I hit pb 6 times across 50 env lol seemed really unlucky since anima charges should be what, 35%?
15s in sl aint 15 in df
and probably if you want the best gear you will want to do 20
Animacharges are 56%
will take longer to get there but that means you wont stop pushing at 15
uh so do i use weapon weights or runes on my daggers
Runes
buzzing them runes
man i can play a bit but i dont want to do pugs 😦
yesterday was so nice
Oh. For some reason I was looking at 1 point of PB lol
Then seriously who did I piss off at blizz
we should be using r3 mats when going for crafted orders for the chance to proc highest ilvl correct?
for crafting dagger?
atm i'm just going to craft the pvp boots but i wouldn't mind snagging em at higher pve ilvl
yeah
if you go public
i found someone in trade and can set a minimum ye?
yep
thats what im going for
just gotta somehow acquire lariat for the guild crafter
my character pretty juiced up rn
surely by monday ill get 418 dagger crafted
actually for sure 15s were free yesterday
you buy them from ah
i went to the eye doctor earlier and i got drops in my eyes time to go blind in a halls
In the fuu's simulation sheet the best in slot crafted says neck/ mastery HP what is mastery hp?

Dagger lariat and then maybe when you get mythic dagger from diurna and a vault dagger you can drop it for some other embellish
stay safe homie
It’s a cloak but I’m not convinced
You have to be above 90% hp for the mastery
Not recommended for prog
It’s just a bis profile simming 100% uptime
^
You just run dagger with fang atm
Ty
reminds of the jailer trinket lol
wasnt that trinket kidna wack cuz u could still have like 99% uptime even if u got giga low a lot
Do you re garrote and rupture at the end of deathmark?
Eye of the jailer, and that was 50%
Much higher uptime
is the best crafting atm a weapon?
I mean you could, there’s no reason to
with embelishment
Kk that’s what I thought
Yeh, high ilvl mainhand + decent embellishment, pretty good
ok yea i wanted to know for sure whats the embelishment of choice
because, most of the time you are either full hp or dead
for the pvp WQ that give weps, does it only ever give yall outlaw weps too? im loot spec'd assa
ah
most raid dmg mechanics are "dmg happens, healers need to heal, or next time you are dead"
or "mechanic fucked up,you are dead"
you are never really under full hp for long times cus of that
bronzed wrap or fang for wep if its main hand?
It doesn't matter which dagger is in which hand right?
highest ilvl in main hand
o, tyvm
Can't find it anywhere but what does "Echo in time" actually mean? for the bronze wrap embelishment
thats what i wanna know
@balmy condor are you assing it up in m+?
yes
You are a mad man
Dont sleep on bleed spread + knifes + aoe finisher
I respect a man committed to his grindset
That slaps hard, every 30s
whisp is a real ass guy 

For re-crafting an item with a powerup like 392 to 405 etc for dagger upgrade fromr asz,
- Does it keep the current enchantment?
- Do you need the 80 primal choas again?
- Does it keep embelishment?
I treid googling but can't seem to find concrete answers
If everything is on cd and I’m in m+, do I spam the aoe finishers at 5 combo points or just melee until something comes off cd
keeps enchants and embelishment, dunno about chaos, Probs costs less chaos
yes, no, yes
what does bronze wrappings actually do
less
damage proc
pin says not to get it tho?
ok and its better than fang interesting
if it procs correctly it's better
faq shows it higher
When you say "less" i just need same mats then? like missive/primal metal materials?
we don't know if it procs how it's supposed to
it takes like 5 mettle and 7 metal or some shit idk
can u swap embelishment later on?
Ahh okay awesome tyvm
ok i think ima make a 405 dagger than idk what else would be good tbh
cause we use this as an off hand later when we get mythic dagger from second to last boss
and then maybe when you get mythic drops you drop the dagger
if i say alrdy used a spark on pvp boots...should i use my only remaining one on neck or dag?
Lets say i attempt the 405 dagger and it fails to like, idk, 396 or soemthing, can i just recraft it till it gets to 405?
probably dag for ilvl
ye
ty
I try my best
For a dagger to get 405 you need a concentrated primal infusion?
yes
no just a normal primal infusion
idk
418 yeah
there's a fucking thing you add
418 there we go
And those only drop from raids/ m+?
the thing you add, adds ilvl
I really need to get another titan matrix IV
But i dont wanna spam m+ for 15 hours
m0, wq, its for 382 why bother
isnt there one for 405
thats called something else
is that the primal infusion
you need to do 10x m11-m15
that primal infusion, yeah 10-15 keys I think
ah
or whatever
and you get one from killing last boss
you can make it from raid too right
yes
yeah cool
Primal infusion
From last boss or doing 10 x+11s
You get a primal infusion for 10x 11-15s?
tf?
There's a weekly for it or soemthing?
mythic is where it drops
you get this
or from 20s
ohhhhh
the concentrated one
I see i see
the 418 one not the 405 one
100 primal chaos. OkBuddy.jepg
the 418 one you get from +16 or above
thats literally nothing
you get 11 from a 15
16s i thought it was 20s
11+ keys drop 1 item, need 10 to turn into power infusion - each 11 key gives 4 primal chaos as well
Becasue you guys tell me the cool shit that i dont know
now i need to do a vault to get my m+ score
big fan btw infexious im subbed
That's sick, then i should be able to spam 11-15's after raid and get another 405 piece probably
i havent done a single hov or vault yesterday cause its inefficient
BigFan
Whysper is main man
actually 40 minutes dungeons
very big fan of whysper hes the sensei
Waht'd we figure out trinket wise to replace puzzlebox with anyways?
im going based off timers
but like an academy is 15 minute adventure
so its twice as fast
Wait you did an academy in 15 minutes? what level key? to be clear lol
when we were pushing the keys on low ones yes
ohh i see
For weapon enchants, is the main hand procced more than the offhand? assuming two different enchants?
no
procs are normalised
awesome, tyvm
hmmm the combat log file from yesterday is 1.6 gb and cant upload, but when i split it just creates another 1.6gb file
this isn't trade chat
What missive would you guy suggest for the short blade if i wanted to bounce between assa and outlaw in the raid?
guys
are rogue nerfs coming
they are doing really well in vault
pls no rogue nerfs
do we look like blizzard to you
i secretly hope you're blizzard
rogue players "beg for nerfs" all beta cycle then end up with the top 3 specs in day 1 of heroic 
do you think I would have time to sit in discord for 14 hours a day for months at a time
if I were blizzard
ask realz

yes
outlaw is A tier
it will get nerf
sin/sub are safe at B tier
i thought all game devs are lazy and hate their game, onnline boards told me so
is glacial fury the flask we're using for raid?
@subtle tundra btw, is it just me, or does lifepools feels slightly overtuned lol
elemental chaos or vers, would take vers
anyhting other than that
lol thanks whispyr
Thank you
What’s the name of the vers one again?
Tepid Versatility
there's definetly some choke points
requires excellent healing
all 3 bosses are difficult
that requires knowledge of the dragon patrol
How does sin feel in raid to you guys right now? Is it as strong as warcraft logs makes it seem?
How does assa rogues be feeling in the fresh content boys?
I played outlaw in last nights raid, and i couldn't keep up with our assa rogue on ST fights
kekbur
sin ST is crazy felt really good on ST fight/ if your team needs boss dmg/execute
I feel like they are mega strong in st, but in atleast m+ cleave they feel mediocre at best. It might be me beeing a bad player tho, its very likely
Makes sense in ST, I guess I just was expecting it to feel not so great in many of the fights since most of them are not ST
If it looks strong on logs then it is strong
small cleave assa definetly lacking
People playing DTB in raid? 🤔
yeah my impression exactly. It almost feels like I dont know what to do, and get stuck energy starved doing mediocre dmg
well if youre energy starved that might be a you problem
varas!!
stinky*
I mean, real talk though. Rogues performing well early in a tier imo is partially because the spec is strong but also a decent function of the fact that Rogue resources are available about pretty much all the optimal rotational/setup changes.
dinky**
yeah man im just being sarcastic obviously
rogue feels so good in raid rn
Quite a few people even in Mythic guilds are still pretty much having to figure out how to play on live 😛
most people don't have access to tier and higher level gear yet
its a shame were prob getting nerf
when u get to beneath 35% as assa on the first two dps check raid bosses
im outta run em on mythic assa goes so crazy both fights
as long as it gets compensated for m+ where we're not as good im fine.
I mean frankly I don't think Rogues are doing enough right now they should be nerfed
but blizz usually forgets about m+ when it does raid balances
also sub rogue on council is fucking ridiculous lol
you can stack all 4 bosses and just spam their aoe
rogue is just good everywhere
Good DKs are easily just as good as Rogues and plenty of other specs are very close
if assa is bad on a fight sub is prob top 3 dps
shameless self praising
smh my head
I'm ok being shameless when some specs don't even have functional sims 😛
A lot of work went into this from many people here lol
its ok, you can say warlock
true rogue is like the least played class right and it has a lot of good guides available
I also don't really know why people freak the fuck out just because Rogue is on top, as if Rogue isn't allowed to be on top.
yea... warlock seems pretty bad... nvm they just dont want blizz to know its good
Being on top isn't really important for buff/nerf, it's how much on top that is a problem
i mean how quickly did people find out about cold blood + st for sub, ER in pvp, or now assassination is being slowly revealed as a S+ tier solo shuffle spec. rogue had benefit of being an underdog this xpac in terms of strength
I don't really think there's enough being shown here to justify any additional nerfs
Warlocks were way way way further ahead the last few tiers and stayed there and nobody at Blizzard seemed to care 😛
there was so much bad press about rogues from the beta i feel like
atleast in more popular and generalized wow resources
not the rogue discord
i guess we had atrophic poison hype and outlaw has been hype for a while but
People wanna act like Rogue isn't a pure DPS spec with limited utility and that it's crazy that they are top of damage
sub and assa after numbers were revealed = no hype
we ignore destrolock doing 3x more dmg then everyone else for the entire Patch
no no, we cant nerf now, MDI happens soon oops xD
ye
i mean is it confirmed assa is getting hit yet or am i doomsaying
Spec so overtuned they didn't want to nerf it because it would make the fights too hard if they did
certified warlock moment
Gold standard right there
the warcraft logs are just looking a little ominous and most mythic raiding guilds seem to be running atleast 2 assassination rogues lul
or atleast a few i looked thru
Oh no, guilds running two Rogues
this but unironically
blizz cant let rogue be good
u know this
i mean, is 2rogues bad when 2warlocks 2mages and 2-3 druids is STANDART lol
World is ending when people run more than 1 of any melee. 4 Warlocks is ok though.
true
as long as everyone is playing boomkin and warlock
everything is stable
classes that are allowed to stay broken for the majority of patches across multiple expansions. then u get stuff like rogue, arcane mage, shadow priest = kind of unlucky
You cant compare general rogue with arcane mage tho😄
true
i mean, yeha, rogue is REALLY good rn and will probs take a hit
but when you see "omg they stack 2! TWO!!!! ROGUES!!!!" I just laugh cus its normal for each ranged class to be Picked 2-3x by default lol
arcane mage has sacrificed more then most religious saints
every time that spec is top tier
they get crucified
for the rest of the expac
lul
We are always very transparent about sims, performance, etc. have never tried to hide our numbers from Realz or anyone else. I think Rogues are pretty well balanced, as are a lot of the melee. Lots of the top end does require a good group comp with WFT though. If they wanna bump up actual underperforming specs I won't ever complain about that. But would be disappointed if Rogue got nerfed heavily just for being good the first week.
tbh if assa gets hit
sub has fine single target
it seems
sub is bad on a few fights but for the most part right behind assa
Especially since the Normal/Heroic damage patterns may not really translate to Mythic
yes, this is true. i usually wouldnt be paranoid about heroic/norm early logs if it wasnt literally just 3 yellow bars at the top of every boss
But also can't really take the first day chart as anything meaningful either
bit of hyperbole but still its pretty apparent rogue is strong
like for example
Havoc is in the middle bottom of the normal chart right now
And Havoc fucking pumps right now
Like there's no way the WCL chart represents Havoc's actual power level atm
have they nerfed tanks yet
i watched a blood dk kill that ice spider boss in vault
from 6 percent to dead
solo
Blood dk always was pretty self sufficient
Right now it also pretty much just comes down to who has gear anyway
not even full first day lol, the chart came out when the raid was not open for 24hours in EU
Might aswell outgear it pretty much at some point ye
everytime i thought the blood dk was dead .. he would restore full hp. happened like 7 times. might have 2 level my dk
I think most people dont even raid on wednesday 😁
what day do most ppl raid
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/8gtQFVAyZrm3b2aL#fight=38&type=damage-done
Man I thought Ret was dogwater tier 🤣
friday/sat?
no lol
From my experience thursday and sunday
thursday/sunday in my expirience are popular days
friday/saturday are big no no's
people wanna go out on those days
not have every single weekend evening beeing wow reserved
Most 3 day raids go with monday/tuesday after that
thats true
Strange thing about this raid is that Rogues end up high on the aggregate chart because they are decent on all fights and not bad on many. But there are actually quite a few fights where other specs are easily beating Rogue. e.g. Boomies/MM are just obliterating Rogue numbers on Council.
Well liquid had 4MM and 3 Demo locks. So 2 rogues should be fine. Especially since they had 2 warriors, dh, enhancer and frost dks
Felt a bit uneasy with discord being down close to raidstart yesterday, this time it wasnt blizz
i usually just do the raid with friends whenever everyone is free. i mainly do heroic max since last two expacs have been dogwater. makes sense tho
a static raiding schedule is kind of a crazy thing
id get benched asap
busy man lately
I kinda expect the chart to change a fair bit as the week goes on
What's the setup for Deathmark? I feel like mine is doing 0 damage compared to other sin rogues
Is your guys's Shadowstep also bugged when switching between talents in the same spec?
The character learns Shadowstep if you're going from 2 steps to 1 step and then, unlearns Shadowstep also in the same process, unlearning Shadowstep completely even if you're talented into it?
Bronze wrapps on both daggers?
It's just arcane damage proc
Switching from 2 steps to 1 step just completely unlearns Shadowstep and it's a major mess.
oh
Like the Cobalt Assembly Ring
According to sims and Whispyr's Spreadsheet
You can recraft it and change the Embellishment
yeah but i think mine inspired to rank 5
Oh shit
I mean I don't think Fang is THAT far behind Bronzed Grip
guys what do i put in my lariat mas majority / crit or just mastery
Can those embellishments be put on whichever weapon I have?
does recrafting destroy enchants? if i lose this 3 star sophic devotion i might cry
Only a crafted weapon afaik
Or is there a dagger that can be crafted
Court of stars ring worth spending valor on this early? im guessing so
yea what server are u guys on tf
240k
at that point im on an alt picking up my tailoring profession quests
You can sim it
Does it even matter if its Q2 or Q3 for the proc itself?
Top notch QA department
o ya duh
I had to solve this by having to make a "third" spec without Shadowstep to transition to specs that have SDS among them.
in my server it cost 250k aHAHAHA
how is the gain vs the bleed one?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
embelishments are really really minor
no 250k+ difference worth
can someone link me a video or a vod of someone playing assa in dungeons/raid? I wanna get into assa but I rly have no clue how to start, wanna watch someone first...
Whispyrs guide on method should be enough. You only need to get the deathmark sequence right and everything else is really basic
whats the best timing to use puzzle box in ur rotation for both kingsbane/non kingsbane
theres this idiot that stream on twitch his channel name is varras
I have vod for m+ ranging from +4 to 15 and normal raid
I think it should be

anyone able to do a Log Review
Feel like I did ok?
But logs say otherwise lmfao
So nice to see assa rogues in the world first kills
Little confused with the wording of deathmark. Does it only buff existing bleeds and poisons dmg and if you override one it doesnt anymore?
So pandemic refreshing during dm totally fine Right?
Yes
Ty
Figured! Thanks
What key level was that seli?
15 academy
had some nasty quaking in 16
slowly playing up keys rn
iq doesnt have very good gear 
Playing with dh buff monk buff Warr buff
Poggers good luck man. I'm just doing pvp this week
Inflated dps 🤓
actually didnt even think about that
And druid
what is the 'Vendeta' macro?

It's my deathmark
Just didn't change from before
oh yeah haha, ty, watching the VOD rn i think it will help me also followed the stream
🥰
is it ok to envenom at Max-1 CP?
Seliathan was that dmg log with DTB
topping each boss last night boss the dream is real
I tried it too after talk with you yesterday
Felt amazing
With 4 set Ur going dtb?
For dtb build do u guys just spam sbs or save one charge always ?
is that ID + KB build
You always finish on max-1
Warrior slapping also
Were the other two DPS 12 or something? They should be blasting

It's big pull after big pull
is this opener ok
iq has 372 wep
chizix is an alt
but assa is just kinda insane in academy
I think you did an extra muti there
It's like the only dungeon where it's better than outlaw
But still worse than sub
Xd

pressed pot too early too, besides that seems good tho

revoking your assa otp card
the classic no poisons on pull and mut being replaced with disenchant on my bars at the start
Where else is assa better
everywhere
my heart
Rogue is always better than outlaw 
where is the stream seli?
theres no objectively
people just like to pretend outlaw is huge for m+ when it does nothing special beside dps
Hello every assa rogues here. A newby rogue here.
I know there is a rotation guide in this discord group. I studied it, but I am still having some questions about the rotations.
Do Mutilate still be using to generate combo points? Cz in the guide, no Mutilate was used in the rotation.
Perhaps I can know how the opener look like and the rest of the rotation, based on different skill tree? Also is there any code that I can used to combine two skills together to make a macro?
Your guidance will be much appreciated. Thank you.
nothing the other specs cant do (or can do better) anyway
muh gouge
(they dont skill it)
Thats speccism right there, only greeting the sin rogues
so idk why people still say "Omg outlaw so good for m+" as if it somehow provides any utility or damage pattern that sub/assa cant
Uncapped aoe?
oh I misread that completely
Mutilate is the Main builder outside of your generalized opener. Did you take a look at whispyrs guide on fe method?
Yes mut to get cps
Don't macro mut and ambush it's not good
Go in the FAQs there's all u wanna know there
There's a lot of packs that have alot of targets
Idk
Hey guys, is there anyone who could help me with sin rogue plese? I think that I am really underperforming right now. My numbers look so low against other sin rogues on wclogs.
Bois how do we do the opener with the DtB build that doesnt run shrouded suffocation?
U can do
Gar sbs snd er rupt dm etc
Doesn't matter that much
ok ty so much
first raid night and i am topping the chart bless you whispyr could not have done shit without your guidance 🙏
Demon slaps in m+ too
Sorry, I do not catch you there. FE method?
remember MM hunter in SL season1? giga aoe monster, you pulled big and they obliterated the packs
MM has target caps btw
turns out, when dmg is high, the caps dont matter
U dont pull more than 8 mobs lot of timesa nyway
isnt that an argument for outlaw though?
Is an argument for everyone
no, its an argument for "people overthink target caps"
IF class does big dmg
it will do no matter
liek Outlaw was capped at 5 target in SL
and it was rly good in keys
is bronze grip from raid?
recipee,yes
Auction house if you dont craft it yourself, the drop itself is from raids
Hey i have atm 392 dagger without embellishment
is there a way to sim whats more worth 405 recraft with embellishment or neck 405? droptimizer doesnt let you choose those kinds atleast i didnt see the option
Why dont you do both?
at this point i only have 1 infusion will get my second after raid
I'd just recraft the dagger with embellishment. You dont have a higher MH but you have the lariat on 392 I guess?
for M+ its better the DtB build or the KB+IC? im doing 10+ so the pulls should last
ye my oh is just 379 and lariat will be either 392 or 405
i thought so too because mh dps is overall the best gain and there is the embellishment but not sure thats why i wanted to sim this
You basically get ilvl+embellishment as dps upgrades with going for the dagger und its not expensive to recraft the lariat later
whats the go with storm-eaters boon, do we make a cancel aura macro or something?
On my Server recrafting weapon is way more expensive
yea gotta ask my blacksmith if he even can craft 405 with stats and t2 embellishment cuz t3 bronzed is around 230k xd
so right now we can to craft 2 things and its the dagger and the bronze wrappings?
not the neck
Dagger+wrapping is one thing so you can craft both the dagger and necklace
oh cool ty
