spice spire
#

The vibes are off with the opener - numerically nerf is fine tho

shell osprey

Afaik it is random

full coral

spice spire

Or was that just me more often than should happen? Aww

subtle tundra

#

Bucko

whats best weapon enchant for m+?

exotic robin
#

One Frozen one sophic i think?

celest ruin
#

isnt 2x sophic good for m+ as well?

exotic robin
#

I saw frozen on few logs, it seemed fine, but idk

dusty zenith
#

For Razagath fight. Would it be ok to drop SBS and Doomblade to pick up Crimson and Knives for add damage

flint tusk
#

honestly anything is Ok
but i personally haven't picked up CT for it.
Envenom>FOK>envenom>FOK has worked great. as they don't last long

flint ridge
#

i'm not rich im not poor either but if I have some gold for bronze recraft, do i do it? tell me why not.

royal lantern
#

is 0,1% more SIM dps worth the Price for you

flint ridge
#

bronze is .1??

celest helm

how do you add the damage proc effect to your molten shortblade

i'm now backfilling with pvp gear 🙂

spice spire
#

Stay awake brethren

subtle tundra
#

reading the context it didnt seem obvious you were talking about sofo

#

be clear or be dear

#

idk what that means

spice spire
#

In what opener do we now use mutilate during MA Thinkge

subtle tundra
#

m+?

spice spire
#

Ur stretching it

subtle tundra
#

im not?

#

i literally do that

#

i play ma in m+

viscid spear
spice spire
#

Do you Mut?

subtle tundra
#

yes

#

what do you want me to press

#

to get cp

gleaming geyser
#

poisoned knife Kapp

spice spire
#

More often than not garrote into aoe hmmCoffee

subtle tundra
#

didnt know m+ meant aoe only

sand garnet
#

Where can I find the spec spreadsheet?

spice spire
#

“More often than not” hmmCoffee

subtle tundra
#

but i still mutilate often

#

so yes my point was correct

celest helm
#

if running MA when would you use it in m+

viscid spear
subtle tundra
#

didnt know bosses dont exist

spice spire
#

More often than not

#

I know English isn’t first language, but you’re smarter than this

subtle tundra
#

about mutilate in ma

#

it still happens

spice spire
#

Yeah the initial point was Sofo, but we’ve moved to current content

#

Unsure what your point is atm

subtle tundra
#

and did you mention sofo?

spice spire
#

No, but sequencing matters here:

#

Is a heavy implication to our past expansion

#

Where here it matters infinitely less

subtle tundra
#

i dont get the implication

spice spire
#

Opener rng mattering

#

In the end, little. But it was a common MA thing in shadowlands in general. Sofo just had more stats, so it felt worse then

subtle tundra
#

simple solution to rng opener

#

for previous expansion

#

play subterfuge

#

ez

steady prairie
#

welp, i have the gear...time to figure out how to play sin again after a few years of outlaw degeneracy

spice spire
fiery bear
#

maybe a noob question, does 3% ability nerf affect poisons directly as well? Also FAQ's say to use sbs if charges are about to cap but for a boss like terros does it make sense to use it again?

steady prairie
#

iirc its a 3% damage aura nerf, thats affects everyhting

spice spire
#

3% is all abilities, not white hits.
As for sbs

#

Just use them as necessary. If you have to do a mechanic where you run out, sure. But it’s not something that’s a major thing. You just don’t want to cap because it’s CP at a discounted rate and does decent damage

gleaming geyser
#

kingsbane + poisoned knife spam gang

thorn fjord
#

poggers

cedar elm
#

any good video guides for assaa?

spice spire
#

Video guides often quickly outdated. So not that I’m aware of. But it’s a constant issue

#

2 nerfs since expansion dropped and one leading up to it, a guide made a week before expansion would be insanely obsolete at this point

jaunty nest
#

is dragon tempered blades better than kingsbane

spice spire
thorn fjord
#

yo @spice spire was T1 better than T2?

steady prairie
thorn fjord
#

T as in Terminator btw

spice spire
#

T2 was the best terminator movie and I will not take questions at this time

cedar elm
spice spire
#

No worries, sucks but that’s the way of it

#

Infinitely more effort

#

Just to be undone in a week feelsbad

steady prairie
#

so what is the opener so sin (top single target build)?

#

didnt see it in pins so am curious

spice spire
#

Pins pt 2 electric boogaloo Sinscheme

steady prairie
#

pins everywhere

spice spire
#

Yes man OMEGAKEKW

outer cairn
#

Amp poison will stack quickly. It's not something you need to be cognizant of. Just play normally.

young flicker
#

yo, anyone around thats good at reading logs for DTB sin build? I feel like im doing everything right, but my parse is poor for ilvl

strange python
#

There's a lot of reasons for that early in the xpac. Weapons, trinkets, and tier have a big impact.

outer cairn
#

enchants

#

kill time

strange python
#

If you're rocking high ilvl but tons of vers and no crit it'd be bad, too.

outer cairn
thin inlet
#

man assa got so many buttons for the m+ spec

#

i thought outlaw was already tons

#

is there any spec with more?

young flicker
#

I dont think my vers is that bad, using a sub/sin set, but my trinkets are bad. I had v high uptime on boss though

outer cairn
thin inlet
#

yh thats what im playing rn

young flicker
#

envenom was up 93% tho

outer cairn
outer cairn

  • 2 others on the side

most classes ive seen have half fo this

frigid pilot
#

Imagine playing sin keys

outer cairn
#

i mean, if thats what you prefer and have the muscle memory down, go for it.

young flicker
outer cairn
#

here. you just post it and ask if someone can review your log. whispyr, quake, maybe oxii or cev will take a look

young flicker
#

If its still bad after I replace these trinkets then ill probably do that lol

outer cairn
#

what trinkets do you have

young flicker
#

dwarven raid horn and erupting spear frag...ive had terrible rng for trinkets, and they are decent for sub in M+

outer cairn
#

i don't even know wtf the raid horn is. spear frag ain't bad i guess, but another thing is when are you using it

thin inlet
young flicker
#

yeah, i hate you. Ive been farming the whetstone for awhile now lol

#

i use spear frag on the opener then with deathmark if it lines up

#

if not then with ER/shivs

steady prairie
#

oh to make it worse

thin inlet
#

so many cancer trinkets this expac to use

#

spear frag not being able to hit yourself is rly annoying

steady prairie
outer cairn
#

i still have a 372 irideus fragment that i haven't replaced but its still good

steady prairie
#

2 heroic daggers

thin inlet
#

and the puzzle being cast

outer cairn
#

did terros literalyl drop two daggers?

steady prairie
#

dropped 2 daggers and i was only rogue in raid LOL

outer cairn
#

bruh

#

he dropped one for us and i was only rogue so i got that. we had killed raz so also upgraded my shortblade to 405, so at least rocking decent weapons for now

steady prairie
#

and yes, earthen writ, because i dont have 1million gold to drop on enchants

outer cairn
#

i'm waiitng for a trinket to sell on the ah so i can slap sophic 3 on my shortblade

#

and i put fang on it for now too

young flicker
#

i got lucky and got ornamental claw and shard of terros, but on normal, this week

outer cairn
#

i had claw, but the 405 and 402 beat it so

young flicker
#

becase of the embellishment?

steady prairie
#

heres the problem....i have the daggers but so far i dont like sin lol

outer cairn
#

well ilvl alone = more dmg

#

claw was normal at 398. sim said use the 405 and 402. robot following robot

steady prairie
#

well yeah, but im doing something seriously wrong with my sin rotation (trying to figure it out atm) and i get like 10k more damage in outlaw single target atm

outer cairn
#

what do you think you're doing wrong

solid mica
#

Int dagger

steady prairie
#

so i get the opener but i must be spamming to hard outside of opener (curse of outlaw strikes again). how frequently should i be using tea/shiv/spike?

I found out the hard way and after raid that draconium stiletto is not the agi version starege

Whispyr said this in a log review.

Whispyr — 12/16/2022 4:43 AM
so I'm just in that state of like "don't overcap and max out envenom uptime and vibe"
but I'll starve myself before shiv windows and dm windows
and that's when you tea
so while your 3 teas in a row probably isn't the worst thing
to me that's just a sign of slamming everything all the time
versus having that ebb/flow back and forth
I can't quantify that in dps really xd

#

For DtB, Shiv on CD. For SBS, don't cap on 3 charges. Save a Shiv for DM

steady prairie
#

son of a bitch...im gunna have to break the outlaw monkey brain aren't i?

outer cairn
#

I'm working on this as well. With tea we can hard spam, but probably shouldn't

steady prairie
#

im debating just pissing off all sin/sub rogues and not utilizing the daggers and sticking outlaw

outer cairn
#

So here's the thing, if you're playing Sin because the numbers show its higher, but you're more comfortable/better at outlaw, you're going to do more damage than playing something unfamiliar

#

or go hit the dummy for a goodwhile and just git gud lol

ruby lotus
#

^this 100%

steady prairie
#

im trying it partially because of the numbers, but also partially because i played a ton of sin in legion and wanted to try it again

ruby lotus
#

im way better at sin then sub./outlaw even in gameplay that those are better

#

because im more familiar with my sin buttons

#

and etc.

#

I just need to practice the other 2

#

but they are no where near the fun sin is

#

like they are zzzzzzzzzzz

outer cairn
#

Yeah. I'm ok at sub. it would take some retrianing to learn it. hopefully not having to swap specs based on what blizz does. I mean they nerfed sin hard in SL. Outlaw i played all season 3 and 4 so it just took some adjusting to talents, but i mainly just play the HO AoE spec if I play it

young flicker
#

i like both sin and sub, but theres nothing quite like the feeling of hitting 270k+ on burst on an M+ pull with sub

cursive frost
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
outer cairn
#

True, but Sin brings a bit of utility the others don't, and if you got FOTM x2 cleaving the shit out of everything, then a little extra utility and more focused ST can outweigh tornado, secret, and then ss/bp spamming

marble hemlock
outer cairn
#

i haven't really played dtb in m+. my st hasn't been to bad though this week

young flicker
#

whats the extra utility? im using my full kit as sub gouge, cheapshot, blind, kidney shot (if needed and feels bad) but is there something else sin would bring?

ruby lotus
#

aoe silence

#

if your KB IC

young flicker
#

ahh sheet forgot about that

outer cairn
#

6 second silence and 8 second 15% damage reduction with iron wire

#

on up to 8 targets

young flicker
#

I wonder what the sin aoe damage is like...having those packs go down quick has been a huge plus

steady prairie
#

so like, i can pretty effortlessly do around 40k single target on a dummy. which is...ok? but my sims are around 55k atm

outer cairn
young flicker
#

^ im about 10k below my sims too...56ish sim and 45+ on target dummy

limber lion
marble hemlock
limber lion
#

You still want CT and the AoE traits

marble hemlock
#

the dtb m+ build sucks ass

subtle tundra
#

well the dtb build is a lot more st than kb

outer cairn
#

sim without all the raid buffs and stuff. otherwise, you're simming with all the whiz bang and whistles that you probably don't have on the dummy

outer cairn
marble hemlock
#

i did way better with ic/kb on any kind of aoe than with dtb, simply cause setting up a proper aoe for dtb just takes too long

subtle tundra
#

i swear boomies are the biggest sandbaggers
all i heard from my guildies how shit they are and i played with one now that just DEMOLISHED me

#

(granted he is from echo, but im from evolve so its all equal)

marble hemlock
#

you dont need more boss damage for tyrannical. you get a second set of CDs on tyrannical, one of which is gonna be during execute

#

tyrannical = aoe dmg is more important cuz you want to pull bigger

outer cairn
#

valid point

marble hemlock
#

adding 5k st dps isnt gonna make a difference in a tyrannical key

subtle tundra
#

hearing people say you want less aoe on tyra just confirms their lack of pushing knowledge

marble hemlock
#

tyrannical is about burst aoe

#

which dtb has none

#

its a 6-8GCD aoe setup

#

that sucks on any pull where mobs get kited

subtle tundra
#

by then ic kb build is blasting 200-300k dps

outer cairn
#

main reason i haven't been playin git

blissful crown
#

But isnt ic kb more cd heavy?

outer cairn
#

feels to long to get stuff running

blissful crown
#

Than dtb

subtle tundra
steady prairie
#

ok yeah nvm im just dumb.
had a bad-moderate pull with outlaw and it was like 33-35k without raid shit....i was just being too harsh lol. should be ready for sin on single target fights

blissful crown
#

Yeah but can you manage b2b pulls and have cds up?

subtle tundra
#

ic is 45 seconds. yes

blissful crown
#

I haven’t tried thats only why i’m asking - but its worth trying case ye played a few keys today with dtb after shifting from outlaw and there is alot build up time

#

Before hitting Numbers

marble hemlock
subtle tundra
#

not really but i get your point

marble hemlock
#

its a 45sec cd, its always up

subtle tundra
#

its 32 sec rupture

outer cairn
#

kb+ic is nice. you'll enjoy it. low keys, stuff just falls over so the cd timing isn't the greatest to line up with pulls

marble hemlock
#

scent carries a lot of the damage on that build outside of cds

#

yeah i guess its 2/3rds

#

w/e

#

mobs are either dead by then, or you just manually refresh bleeds before already anyway

#

and, again

#

the issue is that were rogues

#

when we say

#

"lets play a build that has better st"

#

were not talking 15-20k st more

#

were talking 3-5k

subtle tundra
#

st with tea feels a bit better

#

but i havent played it a lot

steady prairie
#

ok...with a bit of practice i think i can get my sin to be higher than my outlaw single target set up. With added benefit of not needing to do a line of coke before every pull

blissful crown
#

But would you still prefer kb ic on +15 keys? Over dtb

outer cairn
#

yes

#

sel laid out some good points why its just inherently better

blissful crown
#

I see - if i look at faq the ic kb opener is with exan but in the talent build for it exan is not skilled

outer cairn
#

probably be adjusted later.

blissful crown
#

So you go with or without exan? 🙈

outer cairn
#

you can go w/out.

marble hemlock
#

st is fine cuz zoldyk carries

#

its just that unless youre doing highend keys atm

#

youre not gonna get a second set of CDs

#

and cd timings are still super off

#

i still dont like ER

thin inlet
#

seli where is stream?

marble hemlock
#

i wanna play dance for more silences 😦

marble hemlock
thin inlet
#

wtf...

#

im trying to learn assa and best assa doesnt stream

#

its so over

dark token
#

Er sucks

#

Especially rng version coming soon

marble hemlock

i just feel er is useless

#

on most trash pulls

subtle tundra

NS snapshot gsrrote!!

Looks like sin is gonna be worthlesss, eh?

why would it be worthless?

yes its so bad

I just snort my kids adderal

oblique jackal

i wanna keep the sin dream alive

#

i just keep seeing haters

outer cairn
#

then play it.

royal lantern
#

haters about what lol

#

all 3 rogue specs are great rn

steady prairie
#

so lets see....sin was the top single target spec by a country mile, now there are some minor nerfs

steady prairie
#

sins dead every1, pack up and go home

royal lantern
#

assa was ONLY #2 by a wide margin

steady prairie
#

yes but sub you have to play the degen 1 charge build

sand elm
#

lliterally unplayable

dusty zenith
#

as long as I still out dps warriors and hear them cry its all good

blissful crown
#

+1 and assa is Fyn

#

Fun

#

Ans wow is about having fun

brazen zodiac
sand elm
#

any1 else noticed the tooltip for the buff of improved garrote is only 25% and not 50 like the talent says

marble hemlock
#

can we remove nogood offensive from the pool

#

i love the "focus the totem" call

#

cast rupture - IMMUNE
cast garrote - IMMUNE

#

poison proc? IMMUNE

latent crown
#

everytime i press rupture on totem i do 5 pushups

viscid spear
#

I like how a totem can Enrage

outer cairn
#

just shiv it

#

is kinda hilarious it enrages. like oh no

distant mesa
sand elm
# subtle tundra

weird mine just said 25% and is back to 50. must just be tooltip fuckery

subtle tundra
#

as long as you interrrupt you cant die

thorny rampart
#

is it fair to assume around 40% less damage from sims on dummy? (because of all the raid buffs/consumables/execute)

#

or im bad 😄

gleaming geyser
#

40% no shot

latent crown
#

i mean you can turn off the raidbuffs and such and try again

trim zinc
#

Just sim on a target dummy

#

And see

deft vault
#

You can sim your dps on dummy

thorny rampart
#

oh really

#

yeah that should help ty

deft vault
#

Yeah change patchwerk to target dummy

trim zinc
#

Raid buffs make a huge diff

thorny rampart
#

yeah i got 33% dps difference

supple snow
#

quick question guys, right now what should we use for embellishment now ? still Wrappings?

thorny rampart
#

ty guys, it seems like im hitting my buttons just fine peepohappy

grizzled moon
#

is there a nice opener sequence somewhere for a ST Assa build?

weak horizon
#

I've seen the sims so I know sin is weaker than sub in m+, but has anyone tried both in m+ yet? How much stronger did you feel it was?

slim sable

limpid ermine
limber lion
rancid junco
mild canyon
#

So guys, with the DTB M+ spec, while having Crimson Tempest debuff up on all mobs, do you dump combo points in Crimson Tempest or in Eviscerate for Poison Bomb procs?

limber lion
#

Sub is also a very fun spec to play in M+, much more so than Assa personally

limpid ermine
#

and my dps has been extremely comparable to the other dps personally

limber lion
#

and that's coming from a Assa onetrick of 6 years

limber lion
mild canyon
craggy glen
limber lion
craggy glen
#

On how many targets?

mild canyon
#

I rupture unless theyre small health pool mobs

limber lion
#

It's 5 bleeds in total, so let's say 3 garrotes and 2 ruptures

#

Maintain those so you get more energy than you use and you're chilling

craggy glen
#

Ok, thanks guys

limber lion
#

It's a bit different when you're playing all garrote talents, bloody mess and Scent of Blood

#

but that's it for DTB

mild canyon
#

Thistle Tea feels weird with the DTB build, as you've mentioned if you maintain bleeds you're always good on energy

#

I just press it for the mastery buff and so I dont overcap charges

weak horizon
#

Thanks for the info on sub vs sin

limber lion
weak horizon
#

Probably going to have to give sub a shot then. I played it s1 SL and enjoyed it, but sin is definitely my favorite unfortunately.

limber lion
#

The new DF Sub is really fun.

mild canyon
limber lion
weak horizon
#

It just feels wrong to leave so much power on the table. Also I feel like I have to work so much harder than my ww monk friend to do a fraction of his damage.

limber lion
#

DTB kills all skill expression from Assassination

#

You send everything on CD and that's it, no thought process included whatsoever

#

Kingsbane/Exsang actually make the rotation tricky and something you have to think about and play around to play optimally

#

But even when played optimally, it loses to boring ass DTB which anyone and their mothers can play to a 90% perfection

mild canyon
#

Which is why I like it TE_KEKLEO

limber lion
#

But then again, that could just be me. People like different things.

grim tangle
#

I like easy specs because I am bad

mild canyon
hardy dagger
#

Maybe i was alone with this opinion but I loved the kb exang with it being 45sec

limber lion
#

Me too buddy, me too.

#

Or well, not really. I love the idea of Kingsbane + Exsanguinate, but not necessarily the 45s part. I think Exsang being 45s makes the rotation very weird and tricky for no reason

#

Something like 1 minute or 2 minutes would make much more sense, but would probs be too strong for what Blizzard's going for.

#

Too bad we never really got to play Kingsbane + Exsang because it was nerfed before we got to play the raid and now DTB dominates in every content

distant mesa
hardy dagger
#

Yeah I guess 2min would be sick

distant mesa
#

DTB didn't sim better because of the puzzle box

hardy dagger
#

Dunno man i think kb Can have potential

#

Like raz for bigger executepeeposhrug

#

And kb into shields

distant mesa
#

Feels fucking clunky as hell but it pumps

hardy dagger
#

But then again im just feelycrafting

mild canyon
#

Puzzle Box is such an obnoxious trinket imo

jaunty nest
#

what poison should i be running with dragon tempest?

mild canyon
#

Having a cast bar on a melee class just feels dumb

limber lion
limber lion
#

Could be cool if it was actually a big difference, but it's really not.

jaunty nest
#

ohh ok ty ty

#

whats wound for?

#

and instant

limber lion
#

Wound is for PvP, instant is for Outlaw/Sub

limber lion
#

By the way, you might wanna give that turtle shell a go

#

It's a +80 dps for ya.

distant mesa
#

I may have to item restore it...

limber lion
#

well you'd replace it sooner than later anyways

#

80 dps is whatevers

distant mesa
#

That sounds like margin of error play

timber fable
#

for the Crafted/Embellished Items should i put my crafted dagger in my offhand for more dps? even tho my main hand would be lower ilvl

hardy dagger
#

If dmg is fine but the last phase on raz is actually a dps check then kb should be the play

limber lion
distant mesa
limber lion
#

You'll move the crafted dagger to your off hand when you get a second dagger that's of higher ilvl

distant mesa

Oh the 376 one, that's interesting that it pulls ahead

#

What build are the ass rogues in echo running on m raz?

grim tangle
#

probably just dtb with shadowstep and bloody mess instead of zoldyck

#

since they can't even get past P1 zoldyck does 0 damage

hollow marlin
#

Should be able to check armory

obsidian beacon
#

Yeah but I like taking to you guys PepeFull

timber fable
#

is sin weakest for mythic+?

subtle tundra
#

out of the rogue specs? probably

#

but its better than outlaw in some dungeons

limber lion
subtle tundra
#

they need 2 shadowsteps for raz

limber lion
#

Why

subtle tundra
#

the pushback is pushing them back

limber lion
#

Taking 2 shadowsteps does not reduce the cooldown

#

It's still 30s

#

The blowback happens once every 40s

#

lol.

trim zinc
#

but u use 2 on same pushback

limber lion
#

You cannot get 2 shadowsteps back for every push

trim zinc
#

second one is lock portal i think

limber lion
#

how are they using 2 shadowsteps that takes 60 seconds to recharge on a pushback that happens once every 40s

#

lol.

#

they are literally using the same build

#

Here you can see all players and their talents and gear

grim tangle
#

perfecto literally streaming with 2 shadowsteps

subtle tundra
limber lion
#

I guess they are using 2 steps, raider.io's lagging behind

#

Rip

marble hemlock
gleaming geyser
limber lion
#

But yeah only usable on one of the pushbacks, that's not super useful

#

You won't have 2 for each pushback

subtle tundra
#

still more useful than 0.2% dps or whatever

grim tangle
#

but that one point of bloody mess is more damage than zoldyck so it's still the better build

Like I said, probs changed very recently

marble hemlock

can check talents and everything for every single pull

grim tangle
#

I do think that if you're going to put one point in bloody mess like that, surely then it's worth to put a second point in instead of something like improved garrote

limber lion
grim tangle
#

why

limber lion
#

What do you mean?

#

It's one of the strongest talents we have in the entire tree

#

You play literally every single build with it.

grim tangle
#

it's strong because it costs one point

#

if it was out of the way you would not pick it in ST

#

the only reason bloody mess isn't played in ST is because it's behind shadowstep which is 0 dps

#

bloody mess as a one pointer would also be played in every single build

ornate valley
#

that double shadowstep is so nice

#

great utility

distant mesa
ornate valley
#

and trust me they are not doing wipes because of 0.2% lesser dps

grim tangle
#

switch the positioning of improved garrote and bloody mess in the tree and you're not picking improved garrote in ST with DTB

sorry if this has been asked a million times, but what is best enchant for weapon, do i give vers any prio at all?

dense bramble

yeah

#

and yet our biggest damage is garrote and rupture

marble hemlock

no?

dense bramble

even auto attack is stronger then deadly poison

#

and it's deadly

#

imagine if it weren't

marble hemlock

imagine if you knew what you were talking about

i definetely know garrote and rupture deals more damage then deadly poison

marble hemlock

yep

definitely does more damage

I know double sophic is recommended, but somehow it feels wrong tbh

limber lion
#

Why is that?

steel sorrel
#

Well the stat stacks, so a procc will give you ALOT agi

halcyon kestrel
#

i thought vers would be the way to go

#

seemed more reliable

night delta
#

we didn't stack enchants in SL

halcyon kestrel
#

but vers seems to be really low prio on assa

steel sorrel
halcyon kestrel

like, wowhead says even haste>vers so

steel sorrel

Let me rephrase the question:

Currently 355 ilvl. I have a 372 neck. Weps and armor are between 343 - 356. At this point, is ilvl king and should I spend my primal chaos on a weapon / gear? Should I wait until I open vault tomorrow to decide?

sand elm
#

if ur wanting a craft, weapon is highest prio iirc from what people here have said

obsidian beacon

Or should I just craft elemental lariat, even though the ilvl gain is minimal compared to other options

If you need to look at how to improve your damage, you look at your item level, your rotation, your talents

Stuff like stats is the very LAST thing you would look at

When you're already parsing 99's and looking how to get that extra 35 dps

distant mesa
#

Check the % uptime on garrote/rupt

Stats do not matter at all until you're maxed out in full 420+ gear

is assassin viable for high keys in m+ or should i just stick to outlaw

The entire game is built around rng. There's rng in everything. In hits, bosses, teams, gear, encounters - everything

If you think a higher crit rate will mean you crit more often thus doing more damage than everyone else, then go for it.

people have barely scratched the surface of how to maximiuze their class gameplay, especially in content like m+, so trying to make a judgment of "what is best" this early is a bit of a futile attempt. unless youre raiding cutting edge or have a genuinely good reason to need to play perfectly in m+ right now, just trying out stuff and seeing what spec and playstyle suits you the best will be much more enjoyable than trying to copy the randomass shit some people (like myself) do in keys rn
