saw wisps sim is saying -6 percent overall?
for sin
with the talent nerfs in there
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
but kinda depends on what fight etc bc exec value still p poggers
The vibes are off with the opener - numerically nerf is fine tho
oh did kingsblood need er more?
opener is gna feel so ass
No
do we know if the 2 anima cp are random
sometimes
or is it fixed to be same two every time
Afaik it is random

thats gonna be bad feeling if rng lol
its just gonna feel like shit every time you open and miss the charge
I mean it’s been there for a bit
repull i didn’t get right cp
yeah lmao
Anyone else get a 3cp MA Mut in opener with 35+ crit?
Or was that just me more often than should happen? 
just get 70% crit 
So 65% isn't that high
One top optimization for using Snowstorm is to have 50% Haste in order to be able to get CoC off before your group breaks your Nova 
lmao
whats best weapon enchant for m+?
One Frozen one sophic i think?
isnt 2x sophic good for m+ as well?
I saw frozen on few logs, it seemed fine, but idk
For Razagath fight. Would it be ok to drop SBS and Doomblade to pick up Crimson and Knives for add damage
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
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.
is 0,1% more SIM dps worth the Price for you
bronze is .1??
how do you add the damage proc effect to your molten shortblade
not familiar with the crafting system yet
not getting a single piece of tier first week 
join the club

i'm now backfilling with pvp gear 🙂
reading the context it didnt seem obvious you were talking about sofo
be clear or be dear
idk what that means
In what opener do we now use mutilate during MA 
m+?

poisoned knife 
More often than not garrote into aoe 
didnt know m+ meant aoe only
Where can I find the spec spreadsheet?
“More often than not” 
if running MA when would you use it in m+
Didn't know tanks only pull a single mob at a time in a dungeon
didnt know bosses dont exist
More often than not
I know English isn’t first language, but you’re smarter than this
that changes nothing to the initial argument
about mutilate in ma
it still happens
Yeah the initial point was Sofo, but we’ve moved to current content
Unsure what your point is atm
and did you mention sofo?
No, but sequencing matters here:
Into
Is a heavy implication to our past expansion
Where here it matters infinitely less
i dont get the implication
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
welp, i have the gear...time to figure out how to play sin again after a few years of outlaw degeneracy
Amen
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?
iirc its a 3% damage aura nerf, thats affects everyhting
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
kingsbane + poisoned knife spam gang
poggers
any good video guides for assaa?
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
is dragon tempered blades better than kingsbane

yo @spice spire was T1 better than T2?
yes but barely
T as in Terminator btw
No
T2 was the best terminator movie and I will not take questions at this time
i see, its just easier for me to learn via videos. thanks anyways
No worries, sucks but that’s the way of it
Infinitely more effort
Just to be undone in a week feelsbad
so what is the opener so sin (top single target build)?
didnt see it in pins so am curious
You didn’t see it in pins because it’s in #assassination-faq
Pins pt 2 electric boogaloo 
pins everywhere
Yes man 
Amp poison will stack quickly. It's not something you need to be cognizant of. Just play normally.
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
There's a lot of reasons for that early in the xpac. Weapons, trinkets, and tier have a big impact.
If you're rocking high ilvl but tons of vers and no crit it'd be bad, too.
also uptime on boss. Sin bleeds and poisons help make up for that, but if you get got with a mechanic or something thats time you're not mut/envenom
man assa got so many buttons for the m+ spec
i thought outlaw was already tons
is there any spec with more?
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
for KB+IC
yh thats what im playing rn
envenom was up 93% tho
Unless you're RWF and mythic raiding right now, its probably things like gear and kill times really. Biggest thing is that if you're staying alive and killing bosses, you're already better than like more than half of rogues. Or just getting hard carried lol. Request a log review and see where you can tighten up.
There ain't that many buttons. Just stealth, IC, garrote, snd, er, rupture, fok, ct spam winning
i mean, if thats what you prefer and have the muscle memory down, go for it.
where can I request a log review? and yeah, mechs were NP. I do know that always using my defensives (and staying alive lol) contribute to the dps loss there
here. you just post it and ask if someone can review your log. whispyr, quake, maybe oxii or cev will take a look
If its still bad after I replace these trinkets then ill probably do that lol
what trinkets do you have
dwarven raid horn and erupting spear frag...ive had terrible rng for trinkets, and they are decent for sub in M+
sorry to do this:
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
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
oh to make it worse
so many cancer trinkets this expac to use
spear frag not being able to hit yourself is rly annoying
i still have a 372 irideus fragment that i haven't replaced but its still good
2 heroic daggers
and the puzzle being cast
did terros literalyl drop two daggers?
dropped 2 daggers and i was only rogue in raid LOL
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
and yes, earthen writ, because i dont have 1million gold to drop on enchants
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
i got lucky and got ornamental claw and shard of terros, but on normal, this week
i had claw, but the 405 and 402 beat it so
becase of the embellishment?
heres the problem....i have the daggers but so far i dont like sin lol
well ilvl alone = more dmg
claw was normal at 398. sim said use the 405 and 402. robot following robot
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
what do you think you're doing wrong
Int dagger
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 
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
son of a bitch...im gunna have to break the outlaw monkey brain aren't i?
I'm working on this as well. With tea we can hard spam, but probably shouldn't
im debating just pissing off all sin/sub rogues and not utilizing the daggers and sticking outlaw
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
^this 100%
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
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
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
i like both sin and sub, but theres nothing quite like the feeling of hitting 270k+ on burst on an M+ pull with sub
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
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
too bad assa is the worst st spec out of the 3 when you play a m+ oriented build
i haven't really played dtb in m+. my st hasn't been to bad though this week
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?
ahh sheet forgot about that
6 second silence and 8 second 15% damage reduction with iron wire
on up to 8 targets
I wonder what the sin aoe damage is like...having those packs go down quick has been a huge plus
so like, i can pretty effortlessly do around 40k single target on a dummy. which is...ok? but my sims are around 55k atm
I wonder if it would be beneficial to just run straight dtb raid build on tyrannical if you have the other two classes blowing shit up
^ im about 10k below my sims too...56ish sim and 45+ on target dummy
No, definitely not. Running the DTB m+ build though would make sense
cool. you now do 3% more st and do 20% less aoe.
You still want CT and the AoE traits
the dtb m+ build sucks ass
well the dtb build is a lot more st than kb
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
My thoughts exactly. KB+IC on Fort, DtB on Tyrannical
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
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)
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
valid point
adding 5k st dps isnt gonna make a difference in a tyrannical key
hearing people say you want less aoe on tyra just confirms their lack of pushing knowledge
tyrannical is about burst aoe
which dtb has none
its a 6-8GCD aoe setup
that sucks on any pull where mobs get kited
by then ic kb build is blasting 200-300k dps
main reason i haven't been playin git
But isnt ic kb more cd heavy?
feels to long to get stuff running
Than dtb
its low cooldowns
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
Yeah but can you manage b2b pulls and have cds up?
ic is 45 seconds. yes
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
er rupture lasts as long as IC has cooldown
not really but i get your point
its a 45sec cd, its always up
its 32 sec rupture
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
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
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
But would you still prefer kb ic on +15 keys? Over dtb
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

probably be adjusted later.
So you go with or without exan? 🙈
you can go w/out.
i honestly think
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
seli where is stream?
i wanna play dance for more silences 😦
after RWF is over
How is that a benefit tho 
no, dont play er and just go for nightstalker

NS snapshot gsrrote!!
coke is fucking expensive yo
Looks like sin is gonna be worthlesss, eh?
why would it be worthless?
no
yes its so bad
doomer alert
That's why you just snort speed before playing outlaw 
I just snort my kids adderal
then play it.
so lets see....sin was the top single target spec by a country mile, now there are some minor nerfs
tbf, sub was higher
😉
sins dead every1, pack up and go home
assa was ONLY #2 by a wide margin
yes but sub you have to play the degen 1 charge build
lliterally unplayable
as long as I still out dps warriors and hear them cry its all good
completely unplayable
any1 else noticed the tooltip for the buff of improved garrote is only 25% and not 50 like the talent says
this?
can we remove nogood offensive from the pool
i love the "focus the totem" call
cast rupture - IMMUNE
cast garrote - IMMUNE
poison proc? IMMUNE
everytime i press rupture on totem i do 5 pushups
I like how a totem can Enrage
Poison bomb works on it....
weird mine just said 25% and is back to 50. must just be tooltip fuckery
eh you dont need to focus the totem anymore, does no dmg
as long as you interrrupt you cant die
is it fair to assume around 40% less damage from sims on dummy? (because of all the raid buffs/consumables/execute)
or im bad 😄
40% no shot
i mean you can turn off the raidbuffs and such and try again
You can sim your dps on dummy
Yeah change patchwerk to target dummy
Raid buffs make a huge diff
yeah i got 33% dps difference
quick question guys, right now what should we use for embellishment now ? still Wrappings?
ty guys, it seems like im hitting my buttons just fine 
is there a nice opener sequence somewhere for a ST Assa build?
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?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Personally haven't played sub this expac yet but I really enjoy being able to iron wire an entire pack with IC at the beginning of pulls
I've tried both and Sub is much better than Assassination. Assa has more control with IC/Iron Wire but the damage is just so much worse unfortunately
Played sin from the start switched to sub on Thursday haven’t looked back it is a ton of fun and you still have respectable st for bosses
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?
Sub is also a very fun spec to play in M+, much more so than Assa personally
and my dps has been extremely comparable to the other dps personally
and that's coming from a Assa onetrick of 6 years
You maintain CT and then fish for PB procs basically
That's what I thought
Do you use rupture on those pulls?
Yes, you maintain Garrotes/Ruptures for energy saturation
On how many targets?
I rupture unless theyre small health pool mobs
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
Ok, thanks guys
It's a bit different when you're playing all garrote talents, bloody mess and Scent of Blood
but that's it for DTB
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
Thanks for the info on sub vs sin
Yeah I basically just make sure I don't overcap on tea and then splurge all 3 charges on boss fights/big single mobs
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.
The new DF Sub is really fun.
Boss fights are really fun with the DTB build
Have to disagree there with ya. Never been more bored in my life.
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.
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
Which is why I like it 
But then again, that could just be me. People like different things.
I like easy specs because I am bad

Maybe i was alone with this opinion but I loved the kb exang with it being 45sec
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
Then there is this... Because of 1 damn trinket https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wkb1BgaUH7M5DFYbuKeknY
What are we looking here?
Yeah I guess 2min would be sick
DTB didn't sim better because of the puzzle box
Dunno man i think kb Can have potential
Like raz for bigger execute
And kb into shields
Feels fucking clunky as hell but it pumps
But then again im just feelycrafting
Puzzle Box is such an obnoxious trinket imo
what poison should i be running with dragon tempest?
Having a cast bar on a melee class just feels dumb
amp deadly
amp deadly atro crip
except the execute is not even much bigger.
Could be cool if it was actually a big difference, but it's really not.
Wound is for PvP, instant is for Outlaw/Sub
Puzzle Box is really good. But yeah, once you get a bit more gear and tier, KB will drop. It was simming slightly higher for me for a long time as well, but DTB has taken over.
By the way, you might wanna give that turtle shell a go
It's a +80 dps for ya.
I may have to item restore it...
That sounds like margin of error play
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
If dmg is fine but the last phase on raz is actually a dps check then kb should be the play
No, always have the higher item level dagger in your main hand
Would the turtle shell take me back to DTB? Because the KB build is 
You'll move the crafted dagger to your off hand when you get a second dagger that's of higher ilvl
No.
Sadge
Oh the 376 one, that's interesting that it pulls ahead
so, we still going for bronze grip?
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
What build are the ass rogues in echo running on m raz?
probably just dtb with shadowstep and bloody mess instead of zoldyck
since they can't even get past P1 zoldyck does 0 damage
Should be able to check armory
Yeah but I like taking to you guys 
is sin weakest for mythic+?
The normal DTB build everyone is running with 2 points in Zoldyck and no second Shadowstep.
they need 2 shadowsteps for raz
Why
the pushback is pushing them back
Taking 2 shadowsteps does not reduce the cooldown
It's still 30s
The blowback happens once every 40s
lol.
but u use 2 on same pushback
You cannot get 2 shadowsteps back for every push
second one is lock portal i think
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
perfecto literally streaming with 2 shadowsteps


But yeah only usable on one of the pushbacks, that's not super useful
You won't have 2 for each pushback
still more useful than 0.2% dps or whatever
but that one point of bloody mess is more damage than zoldyck so it's still the better build
esp when they dont need zoldyck
have you been watching the fight?? 🤣
Must have changed their builds very recently.
shows this
for me
woops
wrong ctrl+v
Yes I literally explained why it does not matter if you read below
Doesn't show that for me
did you go to
recent pulls
Did not
ye its bis
Like I said, probs changed very recently
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
Huh? You take Improved Garrote with every build
why
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.
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
If it's the same build jpc was running it's DTB
and trust me they are not doing wipes because of 0.2% lesser dps
switch the positioning of improved garrote and bloody mess in the tree and you're not picking improved garrote in ST with DTB
double me bebe
yeah its not like weve seen multiple guilds wipe at sub 1% health counts so far
if one persound would live those few seconds longer becasue of utility it would not be wipe 😉
I swear I saw him run KB last night
They swap builds constantly
Kush was playing KB earlier as well, Perfecto was playing Sub
they try shit out all the time
They were playing single step earlier, now 2 steps
They change stuff around all the time
whats feels most comfortable, whats fits the damage patterns/profiles they need etc.
theyre also human and make mistakes
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
I just watch what they switch up, like last night jpc was also running rage phial
is melandrus considered better than filial?
Tried that in an m+ key and the damage profile was a big difference
like, say u have flaring cowl do u run diurna's filial or diurna's melandrus
is there any negative effect if I recast garrote or rupture durning deathmark?
Where can i see the upcoming nerfs? aka what does RC, FC and DTB mean?
Hey all. Is it possible to macro Vanish, Garrote, and Exsanguinate together? Tq.
Diurna Melandrus
You do not want to overwrite a stealth/exsanguinate garrote, so there's that. But if it's a normal garrote (which it should never be), then does not matter.
I simmed it to prove that I am in fact always correct, one point of bloody mess is better than improved garrote
Resounding Clarity, Fatal Concoction, Dragon-Tempered Blades respectively
Wowhead has the nerfs and sims
What do you switch to gain 3 talent points?
so we keep melandrus no matter what right. and just max its ilvl with valor
Yep
anyone here knows If I will lose sockets/gems of Elemental Lariat when I recraft to 418 later?
that looks to me like a sim that proves 2points bloodymess is better than 1point bloody mess, or am i stupid?
The default sim has Improved Garrote enabled, so the result above disables Improved Garrote for an extra point in BM
the top sim has greyed out improved garrote because it loses it compared to the other one
Same dude, same.
damn i would give an organ to see our poisons strong like it was in MoP
the class and spec i love the most because of that poison concept but assassin has been around bleeding and fuck poison for so long now


you mean like the spec that specializes in everything poison related
with things like poison bomb, amplifying poison and double poisons?
sorry if this has been asked a million times, but what is best enchant for weapon, do i give vers any prio at all?
no?
even auto attack is stronger then deadly poison
and it's deadly
imagine if it weren't
imagine if you knew what you were talking about
i definetely know garrote and rupture deals more damage then deadly poison
well it depends if you are talking ST or M+ id say. Cant just say the one is better than other over all content.
what
I think he's answering to paincake
LMAO
i asked a question that was completely ignored cause people are fighting XD
i am completely unrelated to this topic
Sophic Devotion
appreciate it
Again, for what content?
mainly raiding
I know double sophic is recommended, but somehow it feels wrong tbh
Why is that?
Well the stat stacks, so a procc will give you ALOT agi
we didn't stack enchants in SL
but vers seems to be really low prio on assa
Yes, crit/mastery
Yeah, faq states haste is slightöy better gain at the start och expac for dps but falls off later
we didnt use to poop in toilets either. now we do.
But better than vers
And I bet when toilets were invented, at first people felt weird about it
hahaha! one could argue that people felt the first toilet ever made was wierd aswell xD
Hahhahahaha
Just go agi>crit>mast>vers>haste and send it. Haste is a crutch!
silly conversation
What happened to food analogies.

My monkey brain tells me the enchant wouldn't stack (even though it does), and thus I could lose uptime if it procced "too much" in a short timeframe (even though it can't)

why are pepole paying 200+k for elemental lariat? the mats on my server cost like 50k max
am i missing something
the recipe is rare and usually goes for millions
You need someone with the recipe and skill to craft it.
They probably bought the recipe for millions
Yeah it's stupid rare
how do i avoid getting scammazed in trade chat uwu

if i had to choose between elemental lariat and mh dagger to craft, what would y'all choose?
Can any crafter guarantee r5 though? I thought it was a percent change or is that with r3 diamond that it's guarantee?
But I digress, this isn’t trade chat
i have enough primal chaos for both but not enough gold sadge
Hyjal is the Ohio of top ranking US realms, fr
are u guys taking elusiveness or cheat death for raids?
lol fair
ive been running cheat death but thinking of giving elusiveness a try. seems more generally useful if ur not being hit by the avoidable stuff
I like elusiveness but generally cheat is always taken
Cheat and don't get hit 🙂
but feint and get hit, ez

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?
if ur wanting a craft, weapon is highest prio iirc from what people here have said
Or should I just craft elemental lariat, even though the ilvl gain is minimal compared to other options
The weapon makes the Rogue, also bis OH too;
Ilvl is king, you should focus your efforts on crafting a dagger regardless.
Ok, thanks y'all.
Dagger > Neck
18 primal chaos short T_T
how much crit are u guys running baseline without buffs
do you hold your 2nd puzzle box use for DM? or just pair it with exsang every 3 min?
i dont liek critscial strikes bcz rng i control my damage ;P
is there a reason why all of the mplus builds use IC + Kingsbane and not IC+DTB?
Never enough crit. Never enough
I have no clue
and I don't care
and neither should you

the answer is obviously 34%
Probably for zoldyks and more priority damage from kb? DTB kinda expensive to get to
Clearly you should aim for 69% in every secondary
cuz u cant
You cannot get both DTB and IC
There's not enough points in the tree
ahh ok
well i just want to know where every1 else is at so i know if im understatted or not
soooo really struggling with echoing reprimand... the guide says not to think about it much, and just use the rotation.. should I not even pay attention to the buff #'s at all?
we can in 10.1 tho when they give us the extra talent point
Oh yeah, KB DTB gonna be wild huh :p
Warcieft loves his computer

u should just sim your character and see what does more
and dont use stats weights
wait are we actually gonna get another point
No
how do u know
All the channels just went poof and came back for me, what just happened lol
It’s too early for nonsense mister warcieft (it’s 1pm)

also fuck this boss and everything he stands for
i thought the heroic version was ba
bad
"boogey down" - new dance boss
You shouldn't really care. There's no such thing as being understatted. Stats in the current game mean very, very little. Just always choose higher item level items when possible.
Crit feels real good tho
i asked this last night but thought i'd ask again: are there any known bugs with leech? specifically with leech from gear not working
no, you are not
is dragon tempered blades really the talent i should be running for m+?

@spice spire do we scale well this xpac?

3k crit, 2,2k mastery is me rn
Evokers are the only scale class so ig not
only when you go dracthyr rogue when its avaible
WW says they scale
more scaling
i was looking at logs from last night and noticed that i leeched exactly 5% (including overheal) even though i have close to 2% on my gear in addition to the 5% from talents
what do we scale with?
just wondering what i might be missing
im honestly going to end it all
this spider
who designed him
i need to have a chat
That's one slick ui @burnt latch
You know what else feels good? 
||a nice hug

387 ilvl
man our execute fr gonna be weaker tuesday, no more dick em down 35
well im looking at how i can improve my damage and if my crit is lower than it should be then the crit discrepancy would explain it somewhat
danke sir
if we take sanguiney, 1 less point for recipe no?
Stats don’t matter 
Sure they do
Did you tinker with someone elses WA or yours completely?
No it would not, not at all.
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
Check the % uptime on garrote/rupt
Stats do not matter at all until you're maxed out in full 420+ gear
until then stats fluctuate all over the place
Everyone puts way too much emphasis on stats, it literally does not matter.
is this really the dragonblades opener? how the hell do i rupture after slice n dice
Try this from faq
thank you
Yw
anyone have the same issue i described with leech or is it just me? lol
i'm curious what i might be missing
Idk my 600 leech gives 11% w/leech poison
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
its surprising tiny toxic blade isn't taken considering how important shiv is for our dps
The ambush proc is a pumper
yeah apparently
where do i fit grieftorch in opener
if you look at your logs, are you actually getting 11% leech?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/malganis/annadorsa# where to check?
Excuse the mess we haven't progged into heroic yet
And I need to work on garrote timing myself lmao
looking at your terros kill, you had 824.3k healing from leech, and 15.68m damage done
I picked up the extra leech % yesterday
So whatever that kill had I think it was 8-9%
My helm is what I picked up
by my math, what you actually leeched - including overheal - was 5.25%
Just updated the toon
are there abilities that leech doesn't work on? where did all that healing go
Idk lmao

this opener isn't quite right, is it? you'll be at 0 cp before the rupture won't you?
Which one you doing? Hit up the #assassination-faq and there is a rotation in there 🙂
I think that one is for the kingsbane build
well thats not entirely true. whispyr was talking to somebody about their logs yesterday and there was a discrepency in dps purely due to envenom crits. theres absolutely an rng element to dps due to crits
The guides are very very different right now. It's pretty difficult to get a reliable one
should have been correct if the guide worked as intended though, shouldn't it? but it clearly isn't😅
DTB build
oh, that one looked a lot better yeah
?
I could tell before linked it

We know it is, his question is legitimate nonetheless
yeah, it was more "what's up with the guide?"
Yeah I'm confused too. But I think it should say garrote > snd > garrote > echoing rep > serrated bone spike > rupture
Why it's not updated is a legit question
is assassin viable for high keys in m+ or should i just stick to outlaw
...
Depends on how much you want to micro manage your dots
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.
Check mplus.subcreation
what is that
I'd recommend outlaw, way easier
ok thank you
thank god it has top information for the top covenants, soulbinds and conduits for top rogues in top m+
Right?!?!
nothing is figured out yet whatsoever
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
thats some really REALLY bigbrain take
like duh
pressing W
idk im just playing ic+kb rn
building a knowledge base of what trashmobs do
what casts have prio to be disrupted etc
getting mad at my tank for telling me to not garrote mobs in shadowmoon
(hes right)
Maybe Sennarth hates Eranog
why
the dominate ones do nothing unless you interrupt them
(he is)
well it buffs the adds it gets casted on
so tank gets more fucked
oh
i legit didnt knew that
git gut, interupt better
i wanna IC garrote

running keys like this
talking about keys... which build would you recommend?
Me? Lmao I play an ass backwards build of kb/ic
Rupt 5+ target with ct and spamming fon envenom primary target with gar in there too obo
But it ripped a 65k overall in a Nokhud 11
And, in my opinion, council in raid
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/KNRbA69dZYG1pv7f/#fight=6&type=damage-done Is there anyone who would be willing to look through this and see if there are any obvious rotational errors I am making?
in the rotation it says to keep garrote on all targets but how do i do that without ic , isnt the cd too long
Your rupt/garrote uptime looks fine check to see if you are burning combo points or holding to much energy
Will we go Shadowdance instead of ER next Patch?
Thank you
basically
theres these dominator mobs
that are just standing there casting some dumbass spell on some adds
if you interrupt that, they start doing nasty shit
My phone can't pull open that graph or I'd show you, and yw
i.e. a mindcontrol cast on a player
it just adds extra interrupt pressure on the grp
when you can just not stun/inteerrupt them at all
and theyre literally just afk

sd is beyond bad for us

Cadoo Log Review
Quick question: does Thundering keep us in combat?
It does not
If you're flying in nok hud you also don't get stunned
i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex
you do
but thundering has a 100y range
so if youre 100y away from someone else thundering wont do anything, and with dragonflying thats pretty common to be the case
you cannot get quaking on a dragonriding mount though
so you always wanna use a dragonriding mount
is there any time we should delay reapplying rupture if ER is off CD in the next 5 or less seconds? or just keep it rolling all the time
even when running around on the ground
do you hold second use of puzzlebox for deathmark at 4 min?
only if you cant get a 3rd DM + box at 6m
@balmy condor Is there a reason you don't hid the duped dots on DM with your plater profile?
Jesus I am currently running Rasz with a Rogue and this is his talent tree can we flame him for this or
If you’re not going to miss a cast, yes

No button enjoyer
Is anybody using shiv+tea macro for the opener?
russian for sure
No cause you dont always tea in shiv
True that
adds up
any important reason not to just macro horn of valor to deathmark?
I use it prepull dno if its correct
be happy, could be same ilvl and 20k less dps
If I lose a tier piece to this clown
I am going to actually riot.
I am the least geared rogue in this raid out of 3 and I am pulling 4th dps overall and I can't fathom how they're fucking it up
The other one literally had full 390+ gear with sockets and everything is he just afk??
99%of wow players are really really really bad
Our tankr efuses to interrupt his orb so I have to blind it for him
If they are above 0 damage, the bar can still get lower
Then on second orb we just die because...
Out of my pugs so far on Raz I have been the highest damage Rogue at only 375 ilvl and I would consider myself decent but not like a legend or something
^
Literally same
Always top 3
begging people to perform simple mechanics
Still watching peopel get blown off after 8 attempts
And you just have to wonder
Like
Who raised you
How did you graduate school
Like, OK. If you don't know the first time and went in blind
I get it
But we are literally telling you the mechanics and what to do
I can't wait to see LFR for this raid
And you are still a nonfunctional raid member
I'm pulling like double the damage of the two other sin rogues in my pug, and fuck me am I pressing buttons in a random order
i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex i will not press DM before Ex

I got lucky with my blue CP, personally
Like I smacked Shiv and then got all 4 of my blue CP perfectoly so I was in the money on Envenom damage
I took a 4 year break and didn't want to look for a different one that I had to re-learn :c
I know it's not the most accurate but it's good enough for me to use it to flame people who have 20 more ilvl than me and aren't playing the game
details is just so much better in every way
but ofc only if you are actually gonna use it
no need to gatekeep dps meters
No worries, Details is just the norm nowadays that everyone uses. Pretty much the same thing as recount, except more accurate, usually looks better and has more customization
But if you don't care about that stuff, it doesn't really matter.
Keep on rocking it
⬆️
Ope after 3 peopel failing to interrupt their orbs
We proceeded to have a talk about it
and the same 3 people failed to interrupt their orbs
Insane.
does lethality work on garrote? I would assume so but blizzard likes to make things random

Hi, wow analyzer isn't up for rogues and since the start of the expansion I can't get myself to parse well in most fights. If I post a log is there anyone that could help me out on what I'm doing wrong :c

@balmy condor Do you rmember the other day when i was practicing the opener with KB and i wasn't getting 20 seconds left of my rup in the openers, it was because i'm not level 70 and i don't have the talents.
resounding
clarity
any1 able to explain to me, how a log with higher total damage and higher dps is 20 lower on percentile?
logs lock in after a certain amount of time
the lower damage log would be lower if it happened today
they happened within 10 minutes of each other

Link then
The wipe with the higher percentile:

The clear with lower:

Practicing openers without being 70
Wipe parses
Is some peak cringe
man don't you even compliment me for trying to improve my gameplay seeeeeeeeeeesh
doesnt answer my question but ok
Practicing wrong ain’t practice
in my defense i didn't knew about the talent 😄
it literally does that top one isn't an actual parse you're comparing apples to oranges
you might as well ask why a fury warrior doing the same damage as you got a different parse
if clears are only compared to other clears then that was the information i was looking for
just saying "its pointless u dont need to know but not going to explain why" doesnt help me
wipe parses follow some weird own logic
right, thank you
Maybe I've got something misconfigured, but i just imported your profile and this is what I see with casting DM
and then advised you not to look at them after
yeah the duped bleeds and doomblade should be gone
Idk why its not hiding for you
how do I fix one shadowstep bug 😦
Can you check the filter list for me?
Relog I think
looks right to me which is kinda puzzling:
poisons are showing too even though they're filtered (not in original screenshot as I had let them fall off by then)
Swap the tracking to manual
!oh
Mutilate requires a dagger in both hands, this makes using a non dagger weapons undesirable.
manual gets rid of all buff tracking. going ot try to debug what's going on with my plater setup.
Does anyone else have the following problem : you're specced into Shadowstep, but you only get 1 charge of the ability 😦
Oh, this is awkward

Thanks ghost, you got it
are there any assa nerfs that are pending but not implemented yet?
I believe there is another round next reset
