i found one that whispers people and thanks them for resetting it when they die, but that is not what i need lol
ofc you need that, youre just being polite
and thanking people for assisting your dps

I need that specifically for a hunter in my guild, pls send ty
its been posted in here like 4 times xD can pry just search for it in here
roger
LOL ty
It's more 'all purpose', but I use something called Doom Cooldown Pulse which gives an enlarged, very brief flash of an ability icon in the middle of your screen to notify that it has come off CD. It's brief enough as to not be intrusive on your vision during a fight, but I think can also be tweaked to change size/opacity/etc to make it more, or less noticeable.
Might not be for everyone, but found it to help keep track of things you don't neccessarily want on your regular UI or WA
Haha
the storm weapon you can upgrade to uh, 385 off of 1 week of seals
Does anybody else feel like the 2pc for Assassination feels limp compared to Out/Sub?
iirc the assa 2set is the strongest one out of the 3?
No u
.... take it back!

It's my 2nd favorite GIF

You remember this buddy? 
Hard to forget 
New set up is rolling nice 
Very jealous but also very happy for you. Much deserved
Got a little spooky there at the end ngl

Kept bugging out because windows was like new cpu and ram 

For me I just have to replace because past like 26 people raid drops to below 45 fps 
Ayy, that's mini heart attack to solve.
Raz laser would make my computer physically weep
Hoping this fixes it

Prepress that cloak buddy
Nothing like staying up an extra 3 hours and watching the red light of doom on your mobo

2 set on sub/sin is equally shit
Raz laser wasn’t too bad for me
we can agree on that
Our 4p is slightly less bad 
Sub OP tho unlucky
The same ones still pretending outlaw is better in m+?

Can’t wait to see all the outlaw one tricks try to play sub
It’s going to be like Christmas for me
Yeah man I can only imagine the sudden wtf moment and how do I solve this now.. What's the issue even and why me. good to hear it fixed
just do hear it a lot even from higher profile streamers
so i wouldn't be surprised to see a nerf to all 3
I can slam down 70k overall as sin but our resident m+ junkies whine incessantly if I don't do 30k as outlaw because I'm a terrible pirate t-t
Pls stop nerfing assassination, all we have is ST

I'm just going to steal their tank and we'll go pug forever lol.
We have each other too 
5%nerf to all specs, assassination gets 4 talents nerfed aswell
🙂
"smoothest runs I've had all week". Yep, that's iron wire on AA
assassination is litearlly by far the least problematic rogue spec rn cus it only does good st in its raidbuild
But clearly anything other than outlaw is unplayable
Then I try to figure out why rogue gets slapped with the bat an extra 3 times and yet arcane mage goes untouched
and in m+ its not even meta lol
Like mmkay
i mean people don't think assassination is op in m+
Arcane mage is literally obliterating all content
so maybe thats good
And rogue gets nerfed lmao
for me its just a possibility
yes, but when they nerf all dmg again, it takes a hit for m+ aswell
seeing what opinion resonates on streams
I’m still waiting for the arcane aura nerf
You should have seen the face of my Outlaw friend who's now going for Raszega myth and just discovered has to use KB build with all assassination buttons possible. 
Arcane mage made my 14 cos boss die in 19 seconds
people are just WAY to slow anyway
Should I hold my breath?
Wtf am I here for lol
like, do you see the insane ST dmg BM hunter can pull?
Nerf rogue tho btw
or the fact that demo lock is demo lock again

im not saying rogue is not insane rn
but jesus, its not the only problematic class lol
Rogue, enhance, and mm get nerfed while arcane’s just straight chilling
people just look at shity wowhead overall dps and form opinions on that
I think the issue was that sin had a higher floor on warcraftlogs and that spooked blizz
Arcane is uncapped right?
Cuz a mid arcane mage is not amazing
meanwhile people in the forum/reddit cry that rogue is ALWAYS OP META CLASS for raiding
meanwhile BfA/most of SL rogue
But a shit sin like me will be okay lol
to be fair, i am not sure who gets nerfs/buffs
Oh yeah super OP in nathria pre-9.0.5
Assassination was so good no one played it
just think people making tier lists/etc putting rogue very high and saiyng its too good
Sub lost 90% of its player base in nathria
it was so bad, even i fully dropped assa
might lead to a change
like dude
huh
sl launch assa was so bad, holy shit
More Sin nerfs are coming ?
We were all playing outlaw rogues, pink parsing and being like 7th on the meters
You don’t remember them having to rework two covenants and a legendary, and aura buffing assassination by 51%?
i do
That’s how good it was on launch
assassination was noticable undertuned

M+ was almost unplayable
Can't we just be left as OP for one patch, then? Blizzard left survival and destro alone for a year in SL
They buffed destro aura by 5% week 1 of season 3
Now that was funny
Good thing it needed it
Meanwhile sub got hard carried by eon
Its tiring having rogue nerfed for being slightly ahead of the pack, but warlocks, Moonkins, hunters, mages are never touched when they're lapping everyone
after that we technically did fall behind and sucessively lost to other classes
Great gameplay blizzard lmao
Wait, you mean hunters shouldn't do 40% of DPS from one borrowed power?
Then outlaw got like 18 buffs and just did more damage than assassination and sub combined
What a timeline
i mean outlaw just got a massive buff after that
remember how assassiantion in SL was so bad for AoE that it got the HUGE OUTRAGE FoK buff
and was op on beta and in pre patch
Meanwhile sub rogue got a tier set everyone hated and no damage
If blizz comes back from the holidays and nerfs rogue I'll be so upset
and it was still bellow tank dps

now we have a very set tone that outlaw is the spec to play
and it is reflected on wcl
Hahah yeah!
2/3 or even 3/4 of palyers on outlaw
ner foutlaw
when they decide that outlaw is the rogue version of fire mage, aka "we always make sure that this spec is #1 for all content" im just dropping wow tbh
like both sub and sin have times they fall behind more noticably
can you call outlaw even outlaw while playing with shadow dance? huge turn off tbh
The shadow dance is fine
You have extra acronyms there
like dude, outlaw is so atrocius rn
Just wanted to point that out
it litearlly ignores rogue resources
Outlaw is the same as before you just press ambush instead of sinister strike
and just spams 24/7
It's something that's for sure
great rogue spec
its sounds dumb to ask this but when is the correct timing to use the puzzlebox in the opener for DTB Build?
But still pumps numbers sadly 
I don't understand it at all
Yeah because they cried when they had a few empty globals when energy got nerfed
you would see more ppl play sub/sin 😉
energy? whats energy?
combo points? you mean those red things that i can fill in 1 global?
great rogue spec
just ignores all that makes rogue rogue
🙂
UNPLAYABLE I HAVE EMPTY GLOBALS 
dont get how a pirate is ninja themed but here we are
I'd like to see a patch where outlaw isn't meta and sin/sub don't get reactionary nerfs
I mean, you can do that too with FoK xD
Why land finishers when I can land an ambush
God bless, because that’ll never happen
tbh i think the raid is not super well for assassination
The pure ST sin build doing 5% more ST than other specs when the raid has 1 ST fight is totally fucking fine
so assassination performing as good as it is is surprising
Never forget sub getting deleted in BFA for one boss
But the Shadow Dance outlaw is particuarlly funny and meme
I got a ton of grey parses last night in sin cuz I just was on full send tunnel the boss duty XD
It was great
Shadow dance outlaw is entirely fine idk why that bothers people so much
Legit one boss and they’re just like okay we delete the spec from being functional
there is a difference bettwen " assa can start to have endless energy when it does multidot and keeps it up" and outlaw "i have endless energy by default lol"
because all 3 specs did basically identical dps
and people could pick their favorite
SoD was a good time
Codfish oil from the sea for that swashbuckling power. (or drugs)
Unless you roll grand melee and get no HO/ps procs
yes
Sod was the best raid in sl
I would agree if KT didn’t exist
its just, if blizzard really thinks that assassination in its current state is problematic and in need of bigger ST dmg nerfs, when all it has IS st dmg, and at the same time refuses to give it any form of functional raid aoe
That fight was terrible
im just gonna make some stupid comments in spec channels
People got hung up on shitty reddit narratives because they like the vampires and only did heroic
I'm just sad is how squishy Assa is compared to Outlaw. We get like what, another Shadowstep, Outlaw leech compared to ours is laughable
dude, reddit and heroic?
KT might be the worst boss they’ve ever made tbh
Are they nerfing again?
Plus deadened nerves and all that bullshit.
!neck
all 3 rogue specs are top tier, ofc you should expect nerfs
Quit putting it out in the universe
its just that out of the 3 specs, assa is BY FAR the least problematic spec because it only does ST dmg
and we hope that they dont do stupid nerfs, but its blizzard and people expect stupid nerfs cus of it
So nerf outlaw, the cleave spec that's doing too much ST
Outlaw ST is actually impressive
cus if they just go and nerf its ST dmg hard, might aswell delete the spec and let rogue be outlaw only at this point
I should play warrior tbh. Mediocre at the start of an xpac and unbelievably busted by the second patch onwards
And unless something changed, never actually difficult
It hasn’t don’t worry
Only part is that trying to do DTB for AoE is completely bonkers, ST is alright but AoE is just completely useless
Been fishing all morning trying for coins to buy shades 😑
Warrior has always been a wildly simple class to play
Gamer
I want that damn otter
So can't really compete with Outlaw going ST with a few AoE
Ye they got like 2 new rotational buttons so fury has to press more than 3 now
Fury still just button mashes, no?
Yeah sounds like a court reporter typing lmao
Guess I'll learn while leveling as an alt. Good backup class for future patches
Like a frost dk?
And Monk is also pretty busted
I just want to know why arcane mage went untouched
Monk AoE is insane
monk is always 50/50
Someone give me a valid answer
Monk scaling usually an issue
monk is either broken af, or borderline unplayable
like, they have no middleground
scaling doesnt exist, stop saying that
Because most mages hate the spec
Because it's "hard" and players are bad so it's not obvious unless you're good. Casuals doing +6s complain that the outlaw did too much damage
Monk, DH, Arcane, Evoker, Warr Tank, that's my best MDI bet if they dont touch anything till then
i dont want to interrupt your conversation. i have a quick simply question " its sounds dumb to ask this but when is the correct timing to use the puzzlebox in the opener for DTB Build and KB Build? "
OMG COMBUST JUMP JUMP JUMP PYRO PYRO PYRO TOPS DPS FIRE IS SO HARD IM SO GOOD
Before deathmark
normal fire player
Before first DM
ty ❤️
So after the rupture before dm
Seli doing the lords work as a assa rogue
As always
I hope so yea
Seli’s the reason I played assassination in keys
Also I think assassination is giga undervalued in keys
Yep
Because of IW?
Thats insane
A good tank will appreciate the kit an assassination rogue brings
Except Court tho, I can't tune in Court properly as assa lol
What's a good tank
Key words. Good tank
You DTB court or IC?
Ok thats my issue then lol
Anyone pulling big enough to make IC worth is trolling
I was pumping absolute shit with IC
Esp on fort weeks
Ic baits you before the first boss.
Yea
Then it does nothing
And what you tweak for AoE with DTB, just Crimson?
Besides that area, you got 2 imp packs where it’s huge
And kinda useless otherwise
I’d have to check, but pretty sure just added CT
Dtb sin seems like it'd be strong for halls
Small enough pack size that sub felt bad
Yeah ok yeah thats how I imagined but I was afraid of troll with DTB there
The hardest parts of that dungeon trash are mostly ST and 2-3T cleave
So dtb makes sense as the play
hyper could you link your mythic plus build?
For which dungeon?
It's normal IC/KB with wire with just a few tweaks from dungeon to dungeon, but no DTB build at all
Only thing I dont play is Blindsinde tho (which I know its major thing)
In Tyrannical sometimes yea
ok
Wait the leather boots aren't embellished
But blindside for me is just too much buttons to press 😦 I suck on that
I think Zero also plays without blindside
And it breaks the rotation also, it distracts me a lot.. In raid fine, but m+ too hard already for me
tiny toxic blade
It's nowhere optimal, but much easier for me to play
Until like 20 I would say no problem, after that I don't think I have enough DPS for more
gotcha ok
What should I be turning my Spark's into?
I've got a dagger made from one
Maybe make another or?
BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgkIJkIUSAAAAAAAkIBECAAAAAAAhkmDUSCJJJpEIJRSERSC
I gotta try a sin key
If you dont have a elemental lariat id suggest that
then the third one is up to you, could be another dagger or flaring cowl or just a general piece you want to upgrade or hold onto if you want
!logs
(sry, I have thrown precision instead of systemic failure, I got distracted when making that)
Now thinking about it.. I wish Vicious Venoms actually did a bit more than 20%..
Because taking Systemic Failure is basically almost the same but you get Flying Daggers for free..
Or that it was a Rank 1/1 for 15% or so, so I could swap between FD and VV.
🙋 im trying to create a weak aura and having trouble. is someone a wiz and want to help troubleshoot? xd
figured it out :smartge:
Hoping someone can help ke with a q. With the single target raid build, when we use serated bone spike, do we just fire that off once and forget or do we use it again with 3 charges? This might be a silly question
You make sure to not cap charges
That’s it, as long as it doesn’t hit 3 you’re gucci
Thank you Sir

bigg puzzle box acquisition just now
Is puzzle huge for assa?
Wait what? I thought you just applied and forget about it
You for sure don’t want to cap charges
It works out to essentially “forget about it”
But you want to make sure you don’t cap any charges tbh
I thought it just stays on the target till it dies what do the charges matter for
Its a builder
Anytime you’re capped on things with multiple charges you’re technically losing casts
Gotcha
fuggedaboutit
Fotmaboutit
Besides, anytime there's a little downtime when you can't reach the boss normally, throw a bone at that bastard to Gen a few points as you get back in range.
Bo'o o' wa'ah
a classic
I don't quite understand the faq on this but after your opener - how do you play deathmark/vanish? do you just deathmark then vanish garrote at 2, 4 min again? do you save 2 shivs for deathmark?
DtB or KB build
you don't vanish immediately after deathmark - save for when you're original garrote is in pandemic and then you can vanish/garrote to overwrite with an empowered garrote
new to sin; which abilities are used in the main rotation? it feels like many are used just as much and idk what to prioritize in my action bars lmao

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
is dtb best for both raid and m+ atm?
Best for m+ should typically be kb/ic, for raid it can vary with gear
Dtb is also pretty close for m+ though
i guess dtb is also way simpler right?N
alright gonna start with that then and move to kb when im comfy on sin :D ty
huh, so kb and dtb were simming almost identical earlier this week. got a puzzlebox and dtb actually pulled slightly ahead.. not what i was expecting
🤨
Hi, quick question, in M+ with the Kingsbane build, when am i supposed to channel Grieftorch? Right after applying CT on the pack?
peak gaming
well that's besides the point lol but sure
was more just a lil surprised that kingsbane didn't gain any ground with a new puzzlebox added
!neck
oh guess the puzzlebox just needs to be leveled for any real difference - but at max valor puzzlebox kingsbane pulls like 1500 ahead
Is it bad that I like that I have like 15 buttons as Assa?
So I downloaded Hekili to get a really basic understanding of Assassination, and in the opener it has me empowered Garrote, but then it has me cast Garrote twice more. Is the addon just shite or is there a reason for that?
yes
im a sin noob myself, but the wowhead dtb rotation says this :D
is there a way to macro that when im in stealth, ambush replaces my mutilate and the opposite?
or should i just replace mutilate with ambush completely while in stealth?
if i had to drop something for 2nd shadowstep, what would it be
Don't you want to cast mutilate from stealth for combo points?
doesnt ambush do the exact same tho? idk
shrugs last time I was playing the spec mutilate was the one, recently picked it up again because I got told I'm dpsing for my guild again
Not anymore
so i can replace mutilate with ambush in stealth right?
Yes, but you’re still opening with Garrote from stealth
#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Ambush; Mutilate
/cast [nostealth] Mutilate; Ambush
Should work btw, I think
You don’t need a macro, just have mut and ambush on the same keybind on your stealth vs no stealth action bar
why do u want a second step?
!logs
raz prog
i main outlaw, dont really play sin much
for mythic raz?
Not ic
Dumb elemental lariat question-do you want 2 gems from different elemental groups in it along with your primal? does it matter for the proc?
Theres a bunch of builds in the pins
Either dtb bleed with or without exsang, kb with exsang or kb with ttb
What are the better M+ trinkets this time around? The temple haste trinket looks nuts
I’ll check the faq just in case
tyvm! will play around with these
Puzzle box, whetstone
Oh, dope
I have a whetstone but it’s 376. Nothing I can’t pump valor into later if I don’t get lucky farming a JSOM.
Some of the raid trinkets are worth looking into as well
Manic grieftorch is really strong, and controlled current technique and whispering incarnate icon are strong too
Noob question, am I supposed to apply enchants and buzzing runes to both main and offhand weaps?
Yep
When I use buzzing rune I can't select the offhand tho. Am I missing something?
So I got a storm eaters boon, and it turns out you can shadowstep while it has you immobilized
Makes it feel way safer to use on big pulls in m+
You need to wait a few seconds then just click it and it applies offhand
Tyvm for help!
If that doesnt work and wastes a rune you need to take off your main hand and click it
Kk, sounds good.
just got cos ring
H Whispering and storm boon trinkets acquired! can finally offload my turtle shell and alchemy stone lol
A good night indeed :3
Storm boon 
You can also vanish ss if ur sub
If I use this trinket sometimes I shadowstep to teammate and vanish ss back in
It looks hilarious apparently
Arent you like possessed by the elemental
Yeah ik
And dmg around your char
But like visually
Yeah
Ive banned myself from storm boon in nokhud
Idk what other dungeons it's banned yet
Does it sim better than puzzle box in dslice
Academy 
But even tho I like the trinket it's too dangerous in nokhud
For sub at least yeah
I'm scared to upgrade my puzzle box
I'll be using puzzle box + storm boon combo soon
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Does vanish give you an extra ss or something? I'm missing the trinket gimmick here
On sub, vanish Shadowstrike will teleport you to your target
(and deal 50% more dam)
The trinket roota you except for teleports like shadowstep and vanish ss
Just watched echos wf kill, what's the reasoning for the sin rogue to let deathmark and kb expire then press exsanguinate?
Perfecto simply forgot to press Exsanguinate before Deathmark
That's all
Pressing it during Deathmark is a massive loss, so he had to just hold it until Deathmark was done
and he was still pumping in opener?? xD
Oh yeah didnt perfecto tweet about that
He did yeah
Think i saw that linked somewhere lmao
Its always funny when you make a rotational mistake on a prog kill
Like when i cloaked off my jailer buff in p3
How do i fit the manic trinket on the opener
Your mind will blow
when you realise
that not doing a PERFECT opener
doesn't matter on a 14 minutes fight
even it doesnt matter on a 5 minute fight
im not saying overall dam, im just saying his opener is way other than the other rogues
even with the mess up
Is platinum star band from CoS still BiS for assass?
Well he's also giga geared, all max consumables
etc etc
and he's a fucking god
of a player
I heard it was hotfixed or something
That sentence is a bit off
Considering Platinum Star Band is not bis
Nor does it drop from Court of Stars
It drops from Academy
oh fuck
Im tripping lol
I meant the Jeweled signet of melandrus
I was simming and looking at the wrong ring
Plat ring bis for ottuk mount though
Yeh that's bis
when is the best time to press Manic Grieftorch in the opener?
When is best time to press Deathmark in pvp? Would anyone know? I assume the same as in PVE
@royal lantern Exsang sims 187 more DPS than the no exsang build

Imagine if we don't kill a boss because he stays at 187 hp 
Real
well its 187*(kill timer in seconds)
or well wipe timer
tell your pally to bubble idk
exsang fun
Well if a boss fight is 9 minutes and you're losing 187 dps
It's over 100k damage
Racks up
Yeah i 3 hours of sleep mathed that
That was really bad
I was thinking in damage per minute for some reason 💀
My dungeon slice sim is only 300dps higher than single target... Maybe should just run that build in dungeons and single enemies down lol
Who needs crimson tempest anyways.
Not quite how that works
damn kingsbane over 75k after getting puzzlebox valor upgraded that's huge uprade
nomore dtb tho 😦
thoroughyl looking forward to farming puzzlebox after i get cos ring, if that ever happens
fuck hitting 2k
i feel like puzzlebox drops a lot ive gotten that shit 4 times already lmao
just tell papa ion to let it drop
what is this puzzle box
pinhead's box
does CB actually do anything for bleeds outside the first tick?
or does it make the entire duration of a bleed crit
i did see the list of other builds. im just not understanding what makes cold blood useful at all outside of pvp

Hello, gonna switch to assa for mythic from outlaw, any good rotation helper like Hekili available for Assa ? The Problem with Hekili is, that Hekili does not show ER and DM in the Rotation

how much you sim for
is assa the redheaded step-child of rogues or is it competitive in high m+ as well?
????????????????????????????
that is with 4pc which I don't know if I had in that inital log though
I mean
4pc in single target is like 4%
and the log you linked is 2% above that sim
whats the issue exactly?
sin is crit mastery right?
yeah bro for sure
see you there

What poisons are you guys using for the KB + IC mythic + build
deadly and mind numbing, unless you need the slow from crippling
in pve?
Yes
ah ok
Do you want to try to garrote every target or 4 of them? (DT build)
As many as you can
Basically your first 3 out of stealth are free and have no cd, then the 4th puts garrote on a 6 second cd
So not on the same target tho right?
Which rogue is unironically getting PI's
That shit wont ever happen to me
3 UH DK's and 1 demo lock
Actually never happening 
sheepishly raises hand
nothing; just even doing shitty rotational things im still one of our top damage in our raid right now
after whispyrs help i should smash the charts now
Must be nice
its me a MM hunter or a DH for our top 3 slots
We only have one PI
Don't even know who gets it
but 3 uh dk and 1 demo lock
So never getting it even if we had 4
We have 2-4 pis depending on comp lmaoo
Yeah we have disc holy 2 shadow
sim hack??
im close to that boat too @slim hamlet
I just broke 60k simmed lol, big excite; ready to hit more 0 parses cuz storm boon kills me XD
Storm boon in single target
better than turtle
Skill issue
Just step buddy, it’s free
100% for sure. I'm a shit rogue 😛
Rocking normal rasz trink + 418 puzzlebox
you see... that requires good placement of enemies/allies
I've got tweaker feral kitties and roll-happy monks
so who knows where I'll end up
I’m rocking 395 current technique and 395 boon. You might call me a bit of a gamer tbh
wtb current tech
dudes playing on 400+ ping on dathea, gets mark and cant hold still
just see blinking kitty bouncing around giving us doom
I kinda wanna play my rogue, but there's nothing I can do other than wait for raid
Same mostly
And I don't care about m+ score and I'm not gonna farm m+ just to chance a socket
I can get a trink from hov thats it
all kitted out cev?
Rest is ~0.2% max
Unfortunately
oof
Time to hop on the druid
Mythic raid is the only thing I can get gear from, other than Heroic Eranog ring and Grieftorch
Honestly, I think I'll just raidlog and enjoy the time off
First world problems if ive ever seen any
Don't feel pressured to play the game and fall behind anymore
had that happen to me week 4 of bfda on my lock... rolled 3 titan forges on weapon and trinkets, all of a sudden had nothing to push for lol
you dont need to feel pressured if you stopped wanting gear
(i fucking despise master looter)
please dont give me gear
i want to end prog with as low ilvl as possible
rip
Dont you want good gear to slam m+
maybe? i dont really care!
Wish the world content ilvl would scale more.
Is KB "hard" to play ?
Not necessarily. It just changes some rules
Like you always play double Shiv with KB and you save all Shiv's for Kingsbane windows
Exsanguinate on CD, always before/ not during DM ?
How bad is assassin for Mythic plus?
its fine
Its fine, only really struggles in low target cleave
We have to give up a bunch of st to get our aoe so we end up losing a lot of shit that gives us good damage at low targets to gain really solid damage at high targets
feels amazing in AA XD
Do i have to spam Crimson Tempest or just when its about to end?
And spent combos with envenom
got it
You should also consider reading the FAQ #assassination-faq message
does it still get mastery benefit if you gain mastery after applying bleeds
like thistle tea
Yes, mastery is dynamic. Not snapshot
so i can use deathmark then use thistle tea and i get full benefit from the mastery?
Sure
And if that happens when you also need 100 energy 👌

anyone else's buzzing rune just go on the same weapon and gets wasted?
You have to wait to apply thr 2nd one
Either that or take off the first weapon then apply the 2nd one
Ive had both of those work
give it a second before using it again
ah ty. will do next time
is there any way to put embellishments on future pieces in gear compare?
If you mean items like the dagger to which you choose your own embellishment, no not really. The best way to sim those is to use Top Gear, there you have all the embellishments and can sim them
If you mean stuff like Flaring Cowl or Elemental Lariat which are Embellished items, then that's fine
I was hoping to sim how much of an upgrade the 418 dagger would be compared to the 405
But suppose its not possible with embellishment
I'll use your suggestion to compare the embellishments though
are the pages in assassination faq still what we use for raid and m+? i noticed it was posted a month ago
Theres a pin on the newer builds in this channel, if you mean the builds
would you go aoe or ST for mythic eranog? WCL shows all outlaw w/ some sub. 😦
The posts get updated
You can copy the weapon string and add ,ilevel=418 to the second one and then compare them in top gear
Could maybe add a "Updated December 31st" or something at the bottom or top idk
I wasn't sure, I saw it was edited but I just wanted to make sure before I jumped in raid to try them. I know the page on method was last updated awhile ago from you as well. Sorry for the silly question
Oh wait!
I fucking did
There's a changelog

I can't wait for 4PC, i feel like itll be a breakthrough in keeping up with other dps in m+
oh i am dumb, i didnt even see the change log
doing 50-60 k DPS in m15's or higher feels bad when other classes are ripping into the 70's with greater ease lol
If you’re doing 50-60 the 4pc will take you to maybe 55-65
If you’re expecting to get your 4pc and gain 25k dps it’s going to be quite a disappointment
Yeah you’ll get there
I’m closer to 80k in most keys this week
Sin is fine
Just behind outlaw
@balmy condor are u running KB+IC in M+?
is removing embellishments still bugged?
Do a higher key
i only got 13s under my belt lol
Tbh it can still not line up right on higher keys too it depends on a lot of things honestly
It lines up fine tbh
Just gotta hold sometimes
But it’s kinda whatever
You have vanish for some off-timings
@balmy condor If theres 5sec left on IC... do you sit in stealth and wait for it while ur party is atking that pack? cuz I do and is it wrong?
it just feels wrong

is it worth upgrading the puzzle box/windscar trinket or waiting for a cos ring?
I'm still learning a bit with assassination as I mainly play sub, but I do find nelf smeld feels nice for those IC spreading moments mid combat.
Should have enough to basically do both
But ring is the better upgrade generally
@balmy condor Is there a bis list combining both raid and M+ gear? I cant find it on wowhead
The eternal quote is “if you can’t find it, you don’t need to”
If I cant find it, Ill go looking for it
lol
Many a rogue made dumb decisions because of bis lists
We had bis lists in 9.0 and it was a disaster
thats good
good quote
is there a reason my envenom is doing so much less than other rogues?
!fuu

are you using amp poison
yep
idk gear diff or you're not looking at the numbers correctly
DTB any good for Vault?
it's the recommended single target build
i guess i have too much haste and vers? thought 10% ish in each wouldnt make that much of a difference
so yeah I guess it's "any good"
you do for assassin afaik, but ive been playing outlaw for m+ so and i havent found a lot of replacement gear for a second set
I mean it might be the difference between like 28k envenom vs 30k envenom or whatever
depends on how much "much less" is
just remember the old legion days, 200+% mast give huge envenom dmg
How many casts difference
"1.2 mil less overall"
oh well now that you say it, it's so obvious! you're forcing finishers at 6 instead of 5 so you're overcapping cp we've cracked the case

lmao
never exang before dm right
other way around
Always exsang before dm
so your bleeds during dm go faster and do more dmg?
hehe
The dm copies the faster bleeds if you exsang before, but the dm bleed itself gets reduced if you use it during
Thats bad because its less total uptime on double bleeds even though your initial double bleeds still get uptime during dm
I can't wait to go 4p and implode when i try and run exsang again XD
That 150 dps is VITAL
its around 1k I believe for me
But even if it was 150 dps I would take it 🙂
How else are we gonna kill lfr bosses
With the power of friendship
Okay Disney
nah thats hasbro
That’s what I tell my guildies who can’t dodge on mythic terros
We will win with friendship
Yup
“Stand on square”
I played on a few pulls of heroic razageth and was like 😐
no exang build opop
Needs buffs
I will say - the DTB build is much nicer for my small brain.
DtB is just the "normal" assassination gameplay flow that people learned to like in the last few expacs 
Anybody willing to do a quick log review. Trying to practice sin to play on some bosses. Biggest glaring issue I can spot is im def doing something wrong with deathmark, but im sure im making a bunch of other mistakes
Does this look normal? First Mythic+ as Assassin. I was iLvl 361 using KB/IC.
yeha? seems allright?
bleeds/fok are the majority of your aoe dmg, so they will naturaly be your main dmg sources for dungeons
Would it be frowned upon if I asked for a 'log review' and posted a picture of my poop?
isn't that what a log review usually is
just curious, do others roll with M+ build in COS or more single target?
I don't think I've heard of anyone taking a single target build
I assume we just sync puzzle box with every exanguinate ?
im looking at some weirder off meta builds to play around with shit. does anyone know if nightstalker interacts with subterfuge, or if it might just be straight bugged? when running just nightstalker, the stealth buff says it increases damage by 8%, but when running nightstalker and subterfuge, the tooltip doesnt mention this at all. damage on tooltips doesnt change even with just nightstalker.
i realised after a key nightstalker is definitely useless on its own because its only going to apply to a single garrote, will it apply to all three if running subterfuge?
or am i just taking the fattest L ever by even thinking about using it
nightstalker does nothing to dots
correct
yikes
it sims equal to any utility point
thats just sad
that's also why improved ambush sucks
cause the talent on its own isn't actually that bad
but it's locked behind 2 points of nothing
do you think improved ambush would be any better if it affected mut too?
imp ambush is fine
or maybe nightstalker just needs to work on bleeds lol
big sadge
maybe i just suck, but im suffering from too many stuff to keybind on the recommended builds
yeah, the issue is me and modifiers dont work well
im using 1-5, qefghxcv
and middle mouse button
vend is deathmark, you still got shiv, flag replaced with er
only thing you really gained is tea
i just dont know what other keybinds i can easily use
thats my main issue
i got to 2500, but im still getting my ass kicked by 5k+ dps plus by most classes
damn we're garrote gaming boys
that's assassination
man, that 3% aura nerf hurt honestly
like for ST okay
but completely unnecessary for it to be an aura nerf
in m+ im basically running an extra lethality instead of ER, but it leaves with me one completely useless point
with the only options for any damage being CB or ER
was hoping nightstalker would be my answer lol
clearly its not
Why cant i chose between the diff. fights anymore in raidbots?
Have they changed something?
Or did i just sim to much that i have to pay monthly now?
honestly I have no idea what you're talking about
'
Whispyr, what happened to IC + KB build in keys? I thought youre a firm believer of it in keys?
thats not bad advice, thanks
wdym what happened to it
@balmy condor you have any videos/guides that show the best way to maximize dps in an m plus ?
guys what import thingy for talents is for? in faq section
idk about video and guides, but the top 2 sin rogues both have a stream
where do i use import string
one is in top 20 worldwide IO
its for simc?
in game, the talent window has an import


for 2 weeks due to eon
