@balmy condor ngl your details and the target castbar overlapping triggers me a bit

😄
I was looking at the bis trinket list on wowhead and it does not show the alchemy trinkets. Are they any good for rogues (any spec) and where do they rank amongst the other trinkets?
Same for jc trinkets sadly
All the crafted trinkets are super mediocre
@balmy condor so in other words not worth making?
why is your target even down there, I have it in a line with my own
Correct
Idk tbh
@balmy condor ty , you are out here doing gods work
I dont Look at that frame ever
Makes sense
its like at work everything on my desk has its place and it somehow makes sense to have it there even if I dont use it
dont tell me I'm alone on that
wait really? I thought afenar looked different
yeah I already got your plater profile since it was similar to mine but I didnt want to do the debuff filtering
Is somewhere list of crafters for daggers? Cant find anything...
No
👍
whats ur ilvl cev
how much have u farmed them ms
also,
horn is good i assume as atrinket yes
id love to replace puzzle box XD
I must say, assasination opener is quite hard to do
Huh
What build
You don't think about it, it's the same every time
hahahaha
lol
I'm playing sin since this morning for the first time btw
I just have the picture on my side monitor and practice
I mean yea but openers can't be hard it's literally press the buttons in this order
hey but if you don't think about it's the same 
Hey all, could anyone assist me with the algethar puzzle box? Just mainly tryign to figure out when in my opener to use it, and what i thought was maybe after using deathmark before i enter kingsbane/shiv window? 🙂
you need to use ptr=1 in addition to that
in advanced at the end?
Use it before Deathmark/exsang
@balmy condor When i was here in the opener i have 3 seconds left on my rupture after pressing deathmark. is that correct?
ok so right before i do an echoing rupture, use it? souinds like the best time
or am i slow then?
Seems super wrong
hmm let's try again
Rup er rup should get you a 40 sec rupture, exsang to 20
I will try again
So if youre anywhere under 15 seconds on rupture when you hit Deathmark
Youre fucked
Sure
I view the opener as two phases.
Bleed and mark
Kingsbane.
Focus on the first part which is getting big duration bleeds, and having slice and dice up.
Once you have that down, practice the kingsbane setup. You'll be doing that every minute outside the opener anyway.
Yeah i'm not to worries about KB yet
So yeah, get the rhythm down.
Garrote, slice.
Garrote, rupture
Sec, rupture
Vanish, garrote, mark.
Take it step by step.
Spend, finish
Spend, finish
Spend, finish.
Don't stress, you'll get it soon enough.
Ahh, generate. Not spend.
How do we usually deal with AoE in M+? Switching over from Outlaw as I'm absolutely terrible at it single target and not entirely sure about the best way to AoE as an Ass.
FoK/Tempest spam?
Are you ic kb?
Neither
Must be my age but I'm trying to limit the amount of extra buttons to press 🤣
Nah, I mean I've played ic kb a couple of times and it seems fine, generally just wanting to get an idea of what I'm looking to do in a 5+ target scenario. Are we actively trying to keep bleeds up? Slice up? Or is FoK/Tempest spam more efficient?
Which opener ate we following with dtb for single target? One listed on Wowhead is different than disc and seems to do better on average for me?
Damn lol.
The first is like 0.6% better but doesnt sync, wowhead is more general and does sync
Also if you play ic kb you will find your st not as high as you'd think
It's lower than outlaws
Theres no difference between the two except the vanish garrote
oh u wait after DM on this one for the extra CP to envenom huh
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
no its written weirdly nvm
but
what if u do vanish DM garrote instead of vanish garrote DM?
For ST?
In the opener you vanish in DM
and u use a vanished gar u get 5 CP during DM isntead of 3
To extend the duration or your pandemic garrote
If you have shrouded for ST? Like in a dungeon?
3 GCDs to garrote, probably either garrote finish garrote or garrote garrote finish. Why put DM in that window?

Someone have a list what the best pi targets are at the Moment?
Hey gonna do my first raid in a long time tonight and first as a rogue, wanna try to play sin on ST bosses like eranog, terros, sennarth
Would you recommend playing kingsbane or the dtb build ?
It’s rogues, tell everyone
DTB is easier and does similar damage so I'd recommend it
Wtf i have a normal question. If you dont have a list, why you answering?
Wow 😂
+1
puzzle trinket sims higher 👀 when do you evne use this shit if u run exsang
My raid team genuinely is prio on assass rogue PI
#assassination-faq if you read
dude undead is literally unplayable as assassination rn 
let's vanish to reset, nop here's your undead passive proc, let's break that stealth
Ty mate!
Had to fish it up when I was playing uh and lead was sending on lock cause there’s no way externals are good on melee amirite
how assa supposed to do next to a WW monk in m+, i know its a bit dumb question its just hurts my soul seeing how shit i did in m+
oh fk there's a dude complaining about the undead racial 8 months ago an it is still not fixed, welp time to race change
Race change to Tauren you know you want too
Just tell everyone you’re there for priority damage and hope they don’t notice
Just say "lag" a few times during the run and you are good

he did 11m more dmg than me 
well i also did 12m more dmg than the random frost mage in the party
look at this shit
I'm about to make an angry Karen reddit post
a proc that does almost no damage that is just there to break stealth 
I have a question regarding the DTB build for raid, but first, if it is explained how to make it work in a guide let me know before asking
Thanks! How much weight does the opener have in DTB? I was just doing SnD a bit later it seems, of course a dps loss since it was after Deathmark, but not sure if that's enough to make ~3k difference (and sometimes more) with KB build after the fight ends
Snd is the first thing you should use your combo points on as you only have to use combo points for it once and just maintain with envenoms
SnD is the highest thing in the priority list, you need to always make sure to apply it as early as possible with any and every build in any and every scenario
Probably not a 3k dps difference, but it's still pretty big.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what is it that I'm doing wrong with the DTB build then. It feels much easier for sure, but somehow I'm doing more dmg with KB, are there some specific gotchas for DTB? Like shiv usage, SBS usage, etc? Since I don't have KB, I try to use Shiv a bit like before with dumping as many Envenoms as I can there and without having to refresh Rupture/Garrote, so probably I miss 1-2 overall. For SBS, I do it on opener then when I'm close to capping to avoid capping. And on adds when they appear
I would recommend not focusing too much on hitting as many envenoms during shiv as possible if it causes you to overcap sometimes. non optimal shiv is better than not pressing shiv at all. Sometimes you need to refresh bleeds during shiv
Question about lariat and the gems. What gems im i supposed to put there? literaly no idea
did u use both of your poisons tho
Yes
All your gems across all your gear should be 1 agi/crit and the rest crit/mast
I was wondering what gems since there are some gems i hadnt seen before, like:
could it be my ilvl, too? I'm 365 rn, but was 364 when raiding, one 374 weapon and one 354, IIRC
So, fire buff is better than the wind buff for the turtle blessings
is that a question or ?

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Crit >= Mastery > Haste > Versatility
Note: In high mythic+ keys, you may want more Versatility to survive. While you may see this on high end players gear, this is generally worse DPS. For pure DPS, Versatility is mostly avoided.

anyone here who can give me a name for an EU crafter to make a 405 dagger?
Has anybody actually switched to Tauren for the racial?
yes
we had many switch to tauren, i know from our #subtlety regulars
tauren is also rly nice on progression with the extra HP
so overall quite a nice choice
does tauren have the larget hitbox/melee range still?
Tauren looks lame, will never switch
I’ve been waiting since classic to play a Tuaren rogue.
Fucking lol
Did you really have to him with that god damn
🙈
simming higher as sub, i guess its sub xd
@balmy condor Yo bro, question about the gems to lariat neckless, you told me stat+crit and the rest crit+mast. The fact the gems are earth, is making the neck give me mastery procs, thats okay right?
yep that's the point
crit mast
Should assa sim less than sub? got like 8 higher avg ilvl and i sim same as before as assa but sub sims way more
yep
little weird but not unheard of
can happen I guess if you have a fuckton of vers
61k sub 60k assa, feels really wierd
got 400 vers
4,3k crit
1.3k haste
2.7 mast
400 vers
in nightly sim?
anyone got a good weakaura for tracking garotte and rupture timings

Sub is gonna sim even higher when the patch hits :D
looks like could be 90k for sub, 87-88k for sin
Oh, What changed?

they nerfed it
the 3% nerf?
stop nerfing our boy
3% nerf, Fatal Concoction nerf, RC nerf
All 3 targeted at Assa rogue
its a bit more than 3% but yes
Others got flat 3%
basically the er nerf is a direct nerf to assassination
and the tier set nerf on top
seems a bit overshooting
(not even sure if the rogue nerf to all specs is justified given that mythic probably does not allow us to have the same uptime on fights)
Alright alright, So thinking i should stick to sub then
that what actually somewhat confused me
like, yeha, all 3 specs are overperforming rn, but why did assa only get specific changes aswell...?
what tier set nerf
Looking at the "end result" image in the outlaw thread, it seems like an odd balance nerf since Sub is now where sin was pre-nerf?
oh sry
are we sub gamers yet? shit slaps in m+ too
I get the aura nerf on it's own
yeha dunno, sub was "the highest" and "only the 2nd highest" got more stuff nerfed
but eh, probably that they do additonal changes in the next few weeks 
I get the fatal conc/er nerf on it's own
they're overperforming talents
but both together
makes no sense
the nerf to fatal
It feels like that's been blizzard's way, though. I haven't seen any small incremental nerfs. It's always a big bang with a "my bad" buff after.
But, I haven't seen the data they're basing this off of. I just get to see the result in the patch notes.
I'd like think behind closed doors they tested each one before doing both.
i just dont appreciate our m+ st dps going lower and lower
Are the numbers posted Patchwerk numbers? How does the nerf affect M+ overall?
we already have to invest into aoe so much we lose a lot
m+ didn't run fatal conc so its -4 instead of -5
so will pressing er at 0cp no longer guarantee you land on an animacharge
Seems like really fun gameplay when you look at assa opener..... Absolutely not
huh
@balmy condor no issues so far with the plater profile, 6 or so m+ runs 👍
nice nice
pressing ER at any CP will no longer guarantee you land on an animacharge
also seems to have fixed the errors I was getting when changing talents after updating from the SL profile
When do you box with sin? Before or after you hit deathmark?
damn that feels so bad
before
Super fun unnecessary week 1 changes 🙂
When should i shiv after the opener? Should it be paired with with any specific ability or just shiv to not overcap?
Are there are super rares or WQs that can drop daggers? I've been using 343 crafted for a while now and haven't had any luck from the mythics I'm running (Outlaw with sin loot spec)
Pyrhus and blisterhide
From reading #assassination-faq it says to shiv on cooldown
But I've killed em daily and they never drop
Blisterhide can drop a dagger
Thanks!
ok, I'll hunt them down. Thank you!
Kingsbane or Dtb build?
dtb
Then on cd
check the pins
you asked if it was still bugged, the pin explains it. Opinion wise i'm finding it performing worse than fang
after swapping
hm okay, thank you
which phial do we use as assassin?
For Raz fgight, do you guys recomend KB or tempered?
I'm confused as to why another garrote is best when theres 4+ targets
finally can stop using puzzle box
I'm not convinced that kingsbane ER build isn't the obvious choice for raiding now
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Hard to believe two builds that close in overall DPS isn't drastically favored towards the spec with the execute damage
Otherwise you put a non-empowered garrote up instead of the already applied empowered garrote
if thats what you mean
Otherwise it is for more energy and dmg in 4+ targets?
Thanks for the reply and sorry for a dumb question: Are the garrotes on different targets?
Since its a mythic + rotation
Hi Guys, im starting Sin new
On how many targets do I keep up rupture in M+?

Yes
I have tried both builds and DTB was working a lot better in my case
First three are free, last one is a normal garrote and so max amount of bleeds up
on the same target?
No.
1 for each target

Do you finisher at max or max -1 combopoint?
max-1
Start here #assassination-faq
Where did you get this info?
from math
my brain came up with it after about 5 seconds of thinking
(very difficult logic)
big math
actually even easier
Probably a very stupid question but just trying to understand the tooltip - DM replicates the current duration of your garrote and rupture, or full duration?
Right, but in my mind it's possible they guarantee 234 charged as opposed to 3 random ones between 2-5, right?
current

So as lonmg as duration is longer than DM, nothing to worry about?
ye
Sweet
Okay, so I think I'm missing something obvious here. Why is my take laughable?
i'd like it to work like that
but they didn't say that at all
and basically said the opposite
well
Realz said the opposite
Right, in my mind they kept it ambiguous
They nerfed it to make it more random
Gotcha, thanks
Realz basically said it was to make you react to it
instead of it being a static button
Yeah
I missed that comment, thanks for the info
Well i liked it being a static Button
same
If it just guaranteed 2-3-4 I would be about 47x happier
Agreed
Kinda feels unnecessary
at least our spec doesn't have Shadow Techniques I guess
Its also just a straight sin nerf
yeah
For little reason
Sin is the only spec that gains an extra CP from ER
Its a shit gameplay nerf that just targets one spec
for Outlaw and Sub ER is just their Cp cap
so for them it just saves gcds and builders
for Sin its a direct power gain on finishers
especially with Exsang
this guy gets it
Do you guys go aoe or st for broodkeeper diurna? icy veins recommends aoe, but I wonder if its worth for us going st?
The change just makes Sin slightly more clunky
which imo is worse than the power nerf aspect of it
Cant wait for like week 8 data when warlocks and hunters randomly find 15k dps in their sims and rogue specs are mid tier again
the idea was to increase variance between especially assa rogues

Whats rc? I forget
How easy is it to get 1800 Rating In Solo Shuffle ?
very easy but queue times are 2hrs
I just want mog
Extra cp on ER
that's outlaw and sub's job

Ah, resounding
💀
Kk
when u ss 13x in a row without a proc
and then ur first pistol shot proc doesnt proc ambush
hell yea brother
the synergy
And I assume Assa Is best spec for PvP?
who knows
People playing sub and sin. Both good
👍
Hey I'm trying to train a dragon tempered blade on dummy, but my deadly poison damage is kinda low (when simming it's supposed to be my 2nd highest source of damage)
What could I be doing wrong?
Make sure yer rotation is performed correctly.
do you have it on
Are you adding the instant and dot portions together like the sims do?
Luckily Sectech wasnt being used at the highest level of arenas so it doesnt really effect much
ye its a 3min cd now (joke)
I did not, thanks a lot!
pretty sure that thing has CDR
With exsang being weaker due to the rc changes, is it optimal to go MA instead of exsang for m+ IC build? The pin only mentioned ST but I imagine it has decent impact on m+ too?
In pvp
yes
Oh someone answered myb
nw
can you guys advise a macro for free ambush? that it is on the same hotkey as mutilate
Guys is there anywhere we can track Antrophic posion for like how much its doing ?
just out of intrest
Question, im learning Assa and using HEKILL but it is not picking up talents like deathmark, ER etc. Is there another addon that is better for this or do you need to configure hekill?
Feels great to enjoy the last vestiges of Echoing this week knowing the fun of its gameplay minigame is getting nuked because reasons. Love it.
Herodamage probably fine
Thanks

What is Hekill
addon that tells u to press buttons
a rotation helper
Cant find that addon <,<
you have to go in and make sure the talents aren't in the exclusion list on the cooldowns
and a bunch of them can't be used without pressing different one first
I'd always just suggest sitting on a dummy for like
an hour
if you want to get button comfy
On the first boss in the raid should i go aoe build for that ads? Not sure how frequent they spawn
conflict rotation optimizer took me from 13th place to 1st place on SLG mythic prog because i never played outlaw before
Anyone have a quick line on how the RC changes impact ER? I understand that we’re losing an animacharged point (which seems like an indirect compounded PB nerf?) Is there anything else to the nerf worth knowing rotationally?
your ER > Rupture isn't always going to work
since its 3 cp between 2-5
instead of 4
ER will always give either 2 or 3 cp
so it can hit a blank
Oof. Okay, not super, more cursed RNG fishing gameplay, but got it.
guys what are the bis enchants for weapons
thx
foreal tho
w/e. its early in the xpac, i'm having fun playing Sin again and really enjoying it and still having fun playing dtb for raid and kb+ic for keys so
I’m loving it too! But it’s disappointing to train up to liking ER and then having it become a weird RNG fishery.
I know they are removing a CP, but is it going to be a flat one they remove or is it going to be random? So one time it could charge 3,4, and 5 and the next it could be 2, 3, 4 or even crazier like 2,3,5
random
ffs
Why you bully weakauras 
ugh, what things can we use to proc the diurnal ring?
helm and set from cos?
is there anything more simple
i think flaring cowl is the go to if you have the ring
We still run Lariant as Assa right?
Hmm. I have the Diurna ring and kinda forgot about that fact lol. Using Lariat and Fang Adornments though, but my turtle shell does fire damage so that can proc it i guess
guys do u let deathmark wait for 1 min to do it with exsang ?
😄
quick i am on diurna hc and idk hwo to play this spec
guild must be happy
TY
they'll naturally line up again at the 6 min mark
Doesn't seem like ER needed a nerf, the other capstones already see play
go fuck yourself 🙂
I lost both rolls on the tier drops

Does the ER nerf change the opener?
The opener becomes random by the change; yes

Always finish on 5-6

What is RC und FC?
RC - Resounding Clarity, the point above echoing reprimand that gives us 3 anima charged combo points instead of 1

If i run DTB mythic is it one rupture and spam envenom for the poison bomb?
what are yall spending valor on this week
One point in Zoldyck if you need the Shadowstep.
399 ilvl tomorrow i craft 418 neck and i crank the raid at 400 ilvl
It's not "giga bis", but it's bis.
You want one but you can do with another ring
No, you spread bleeds until you're at energy saturation which is when you maintain all bleeds, including CT, and only then fishing for PB
You don't have too too much time spamming Envenom because you have to maintain rupture and ct
i see thanks Ceverion
no problem Sheep
Why is it correct to use deathmark when vanishing ideally?
vanish Garotte (sorry) does +50% damage. Deathmark doubles that.
How you lads finding the raid
Pretty dank
It’s so damn fun and once we outscale it on farm I feel like farm will be a breeze, won’t have to use our brains

christmas raid release is great 
Tbh theres always raiding over christmas kinda
Only worry is that this tier might be a little shorter
Oh shit taking a complete break over chrissy?
Your talent build looks wrong if you check the FAQ and the biggest difference is clearly the deathmark windows so look there
Rip man
I followed method build and Im using same talents as this guy, with small differences..........
is it better to keep envenom buff up for as long as possible, or just envenom soon as u have the CP for it?
assa is so fucking busted bro

Well you dont want to overcap on energy, but pooling a bit before envenom doesnt hurt
im just trying to find out what im doing wrong. my quicksim has envenom buff uptime at like 95% and im not near that
im hovering around 88-90%
Do you maintain crimson tempest in single target? or just envenom spam

how come the opener in faq is different to the one the raidbot sim one
cause openers aren't rigid things and the sim will do whatever it wants with little loss
but we have to make openers for people because the community is still in its chimpanzee stage of evolution where it doesn't realize that openers are pretty much irrelevant as long as you generally follow the logic
gotcha
so we're stuck having to make openers
but also not optimizing raidbots openers
cause who gives a shit
just noticed the raidbot one used 2 mutilates before the first rupture and potted on the pull
and thought id ask
but if its minimal difference then not going to worry about it
yeh it just wants to pot asap and get a 5cp rup
you can move around abilities in openers without much difference
like if you rupture 1 second earlier or later
in a 300 second fight
not really going to matter
yeh thats fair
how do buzzing runes work do they override my sophic?
theyre like sharpening stones
1 per weapon. 2 hour buff. doesnt overwrite anything for us
nice
Could I dm someone a couple logs for advice and insight?
should we be overwriting normal garrote in the deathmark window with vanish garrote regardless of the timer?
yes
ok cool
Sorry, im shit, is assas aoe target capped in DF?
Are the nerfs on Tuesday in the nightly build on raidbots?

haven't really pushed much yet, but I played double shiv this week basically everywhere
Better to go non sin in raging weeks imo for that reason
But if you stick with sin yes double shiv
your builds up there ain’t using double shiv D:
Lol no
Just feels awk to hold shiv
yeh you take a damage hit going double shiv so it's not recommended for every week
I copied Zerocool build with double shiv, he’s one sims a tiny bit better smh than the one with ER
but anyway, when should I run double shiv (or not)
zer
c
l
LOL
I’m kinda new to the game, so no offense
nah nothing you did
My max key is +13 and I was sweating hard
+13 nokhud
okay so dumb question, but what is pandemic and why do i need to refresh bleeds during it
w-w-wut ?
!pd
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
Alright
Do we only spend combo points when we have the max amount possible?
max-1
So you don’t recommend me copying his build ?
recommend doing the opposite of him most of the time
Since I'm greedy and don't have any nice weapons yet, can I stack two of the "lower" enchants for instance 2x Burning Writ that gives a chance to increase crit?
Use the build from here
Pls @balmy condor provide an M+ build with double shiv
There is
Or take two different ones?
do this but take double shiv instead of imp poison
oof didn’t see it smh
aight
do you often use the wire thing talent (silence)
It's mandatory
oh interesting, so you basically try to silence the most dangerous caster in packs?
With ic you silence everything
they don't trigger the effect tough, do they?
hey gents, are you guys using puzzle box on CD or lining it with DM?
ic doesn't duplicate gouge

it duplicates gar/rup
so you IC from stealth, then garrote
and it silences through iron wire
why wouldn't they
holy i didn’t knew that
it's an earth gem
yeah
I’ll look all this up tmr, gotta go to sleep, thanks for being here guys 🫠
yes
yeh
Anyone that can help me review some logs?
Hi, haven't played since Legion so I'm rusty at rogue-ing, much less 'Sin. Looking to help guild push bosses tonight by switching to ST Assassination from Outlaw.
I see there's two main builds, Kingsbane & DTB. Should I go with Kingsbane regardless of DTB being "easier" to play?
We're working on Kurog, so there's adds I guess but yea.
stupid question but what is our best and 2nd best (with DTB) lethal poison? I assumed deadly was best until seeing JPC on amp now
Amp and deadly
amp > deadly > never instant
ty ty
Can someone explain something me like Im 5; In our DTB opener in the FAQ, why do we Deathmark AFTER rupture?
because deathmarking before rupture means you're wasting deathmark time
Deathmark applies to all bleeds even if applied before dm
deathmark duplicate bleeds = no bleeds, no duplicate
ah okay I see
so itll dupe em even if they were cast beforehand, the ingame wording is a bit misleading
ye
Also in the DTB opener is it Garrote->ONE Bonespike -> SnD or do we dump all bonespike stacks
one
you could technically also skip it and sbs later in the opener
really the world is your oyster
Never give a guide writer 25 build variations to make openers for 
for raid fights like the eranog do you just run the M+ dtb build?
this expansion has been so painful
no
you run single target DTB for everything except council
okay and council is M+ dtb?
council is some half-m+ carnage poison bomb thing
wowhead has builds per boss
would just do that
word
prob just run outlaw on council actually, just need to think about where im running assa
so we sim like the same as outlaw st now?
I'm looking at these logs from my guilds raid earlier today, and I'm comparing my boss dmg to the other rogue in the group and I cant figure out why he's doing a lot more dmg than mehttps://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/6bTQ49RqD2KrnPYk#fight=9&type=damage-done&target=194
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Crit >= Mastery > Haste > Versatility
Note: In high mythic+ keys, you may want more Versatility to survive. While you may see this on high end players gear, this is generally worse DPS. For pure DPS, Versatility is mostly avoided.
ill never get why blizzard wont allow a spec that specializes at st to be the best at it
meanwhile we got stuff like arcane mage that doges nerfs like they are neo in the matrix
yeah I was honestly confused when I simmed assa and my char was only like 5k higher on st than my law
is that cause of some nerfs or somethin
i sim 55k as law and like 60k as assa
so i mean that's still basically `10% diff which is big
I mean it's like 3k more right?
Correct
you cast more Envenoms but the avg cast was 2k less
I mean okay

Assassination WA's:

https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
got a second dagger and my rl said i get pi if im sin so here we go
dude crit 60% of his envenoms
and he's got more mast/vers
so they baseline hit harder
just be like that
He consistently does more dmg than me in general, I'm just looking to figure out if I can change that with my gameplay or if it's a gear-thing.
looks like just a difference in stat allocations
Alright
yeh I mean you're beating him on every single line except envenom and corporeal tear
and the envenom stuff is just rng
and the corporeal tear is just rng
and you procced less ambush that's just rng
np
I was really scratching my head
I'll look at getting better stats and becoming more lucky
Cheers
yeh just looks like normal variances
easiest way to deal more damage is just get better luck
whats the easiest way to sim my char with added 2+4 pc?
do i have to add 4 pieces in gear compare or is there other way?
set_bonus=tier29_2pc=1
set_bonus=tier29_4pc=1
add that to custom apl or expert mode or whatever
thank you ❤️

in the wowhead opener it doesn't have any mutilates in the opener - does it just not matter how many combo points you hit your snd/rupture for?
You extend your snd so it doesn't matter
and the rupture? cause the rupture is immediately following the snd
and the snd spends your points
yeah like im looking at a log from vash and he def mutilates twice after his snd before rupturing
but on wowhead it just wants you to like rupture immediately after snd? that seems like it just cant be right
or i guess they prob assume the reader isn't dumb af and follows normal finisher rules
thats prob it lmao
ya huh, wowhead wants you to bonespike super late and er kinda early compared to what im seeing some of the top logs doing
someone tell me a good single target opener
oh okay yeah the wowhead opener prob just out of date - thanks for linking that @sacred hearth
Tree man in academny is very cringe
Whelp; moved from bottom parse on N terros to 24% on H terros; steady improvement thanks to a lot of y'all answering my dumb questions XD
just wanted to say thanks :>
No such thing as dumb questions thats how you get better
still baffling me because I'm crushing the meters, just not beyond the pond of the local group lol

is there a resource that outlines recommend builds for each boss in vault?
I used the primal council build and parsed a 91, so I'd say it's trustworthy
I would personally drop the PB/TTK because I hate juggling CT and PB together
And just get more Zoldy's
all my homies love Zoldy
is the primary dps use for vanish on assa just to get improved garrotes out?
yes
after the opener do I hold deathmark for the next vanish to get an improved garrote duplicated?
u use a normal garrote and dm on cd
Hey, for having 2 shadowstep as Assa wich talents i should removed?
ty!
then when vanish is up just overwrite mid DM
why do you need 2 steps
@sand elm thanks

Where in the opening do i use algethar puzzle box?
before dm
Why is everyone losing their minds over the coming nerfs?
"3% aura" what does this mean in the pin about the nerf
I've watched JPC use it before Deathmark
Cool ty
there is an aura on each spec that modifies all ability damage
it got nerfed by 3%
so we now do -3% damage with abilities
The nerfs are literally not that bad seeing we were slapping the shit out of everything on every spec anyways
Right?
I mean
assassination lost all reason to be played over outlaw and sub
but
yeah
it's fine probably
primary reason to play sin over outlaw is just to not need to hear the crack of the pistol multi-shotting over and over and over
Maybe this is a dumb question right
But if assa and outlaw sim similar in pure single target
wouldn't assa be the better choice for single target because it's not as rng dependent?
outlaw has a lot of rng-proofing in it
yes but assa doesn't have rng
I mean if you think a variance of 4% is that much worse than a variance of 3%
then yeah
holy banger assa op
I don't understand what that means whispyr
outlaw has a big window of bad vs good... but thats less "oh i kept rolling dice bad" and more "I don't know how to play with the dice right"
outlaw RNG isn't a huge thing because when you roll poop you get buffs anyways to roll the things you didn't get. and when you pop cd's you brute-force good rolls.
so the mean to upper/lower quartile on outlaw is about 2.5k right
yes but it is less fool proof
I still like sin just for "oh no, boss mechanic came up during my damage window, but missing one gcd of melee isn't going to break my entire thing"
I got ya
if you think that difference
is super important
where you might swing like a couple hundred dps higher or lower in your 60 pulls on a fight
then yeah
sure
assassination super good
but it's basically just as rng as anything else
nah I'm not that kinda player
tbf I come from outlaw and was annoyed I had to play assa for a lot of the fights but I started to enjoy assa and now I'm annoyed it's going to be leveled again back to outlaw or even below it
such is assassinations life
outlaw is just 
the circle of life for assassination is "it doesn't do aoe so it should be good single target -> it's good single target -> nerfed so now it's not really that much better single target -> why am I playing this? -> everyone rolls outlaw -> next season goes on ptr -> go to start"
unless you are going for cutting edge you can prolly tell your guild to shove it 😛
and just play what you like
oh well at least we still have pvp 
one trick ponies man
assa dream
idk it's a shame what they're doing to assa
I know it's probably a circlejerk at this point
but to me it's the best melee spec in the game from a gameplay POV
and it just keeps getting cucked
I mean it’s still viable so play it
I got too much FOMO to do that
if I can squeeze out another 1.5% dps by playing the more meta spec I will
even if I don't enjoy playing it
I know it's ridiculous
Does Manic Grieftorch gets interrupted by other actions?
Always nice when the spec or class you play is best but is what it is, not much to do when you got a mindset to play the best no matter what
So use it before Deathmark, like on pull?
I agree my mindset is probably derogatory
but I just can't help myself 
Haha dw I’m the same
I mean I have been enjoying outlaw in keys regardless
But assa still pumps compared to some of the classes out there and it’s gonna be a nice spec to play on farm anywats




goes hard
