Awesome, I need to make a weakaura that reminds me every time its reset

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

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?

royal lantern
#

iirc the assa 2set is the strongest one out of the 3?

spice spire
#

It is not

#

Idr sub but outlaw 2 set is stronger than ours, our 4 set is just better

brazen zodiac
#

ur just better

New set up is rolling nice WideGeorgeHappy

spice spire

Very jealous but also very happy for you. Much deserved

gusty mirage
#

Got a little spooky there at the end ngl

spice spire
#

Now that you’re rolling actual stuff. You’re unstoppable buddy

#

How?

gusty mirage
#

PC wouldn’t make it past POST

#

But after a few reboots it worked

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

Kept bugging out because windows was like new cpu and ram spongebob

spice spire
#

For me I just have to replace because past like 26 people raid drops to below 45 fps kekdog

Hoping this fixes it

Prepress that cloak buddy

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

2 set on sub/sin is equally shit

spice spire
#

Raz laser wasn’t too bad for me

vestal wren
#

we can agree on that

spice spire
#

Our 4p is slightly less bad Aww

gusty mirage
#

Sub OP tho unlucky

vestal wren
#

rogue op*

#

didn't you hear the streamers

gusty mirage
#

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

nocturne current
vestal wren
#

just do hear it a lot even from higher profile streamers

#

so i wouldn't be surprised to see a nerf to all 3

shut owl
#

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

gusty mirage
shut owl
#

I'm just going to steal their tank and we'll go pug forever lol.

spice spire
royal lantern
#

🙂

shut owl
#

"smoothest runs I've had all week". Yep, that's iron wire on AA

royal lantern
#

assassination is litearlly by far the least problematic rogue spec rn cus it only does good st in its raidbuild

shut owl
#

But clearly anything other than outlaw is unplayable

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

and in m+ its not even meta lol

gusty mirage
#

Like mmkay

vestal wren
#

i mean people don't think assassination is op in m+

gusty mirage
#

Arcane mage is literally obliterating all content

vestal wren
#

so maybe thats good

gusty mirage
#

And rogue gets nerfed lmao

vestal wren
#

for me its just a possibility

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

seeing what opinion resonates on streams

gusty mirage
#

I’m still waiting for the arcane aura nerf

royal lantern
#

its like

nocturne current
shut owl
#

Arcane mage made my 14 cos boss die in 19 seconds

royal lantern
#

people are just WAY to slow anyway

gusty mirage
#

Should I hold my breath?

shut owl
#

Wtf am I here for lol

royal lantern
#

like, do you see the insane ST dmg BM hunter can pull?

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

or the fact that demo lock is demo lock again

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

im not saying rogue is not insane rn

royal lantern
#

but jesus, its not the only problematic class lol

gusty mirage
#

Rogue, enhance, and mm get nerfed while arcane’s just straight chilling

royal lantern
#

people just look at shity wowhead overall dps and form opinions on that

gusty mirage
#

Like cool

#

Hero class of wow wins again

shut owl
#

I think the issue was that sin had a higher floor on warcraftlogs and that spooked blizz

nocturne current
#

Arcane is uncapped right?

shut owl
#

Cuz a mid arcane mage is not amazing

royal lantern
#

meanwhile BfA/most of SL rogue

shut owl
#

But a shit sin like me will be okay lol

vestal wren
#

to be fair, i am not sure who gets nerfs/buffs

gusty mirage
#

Assassination was so good no one played it

vestal wren
#

just think people making tier lists/etc putting rogue very high and saiyng its too good

gusty mirage
#

Sub lost 90% of its player base in nathria

royal lantern
#

it was so bad, even i fully dropped assa

vestal wren
#

might lead to a change

royal lantern
#

like dude

vestal wren
royal lantern
#

sl launch assa was so bad, holy shit

high berry
#

More Sin nerfs are coming ?

gusty mirage
#

We were all playing outlaw rogues, pink parsing and being like 7th on the meters

vestal wren
#

cn early on was outlaw ye

#

after sin buffs

#

it was almost exlusive sin

gusty mirage
# vestal wren huh

You don’t remember them having to rework two covenants and a legendary, and aura buffing assassination by 51%?

vestal wren
#

i do

gusty mirage
#

That’s how good it was on launch

vestal wren
#

assassination was noticable undertuned

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

and devs did know it

#

just too afraid to buff stuff

nocturne current
strange python
gusty mirage
#

They buffed destro aura by 5% week 1 of season 3

#

Now that was funny

#

Good thing it needed it

vestal wren
#

tbh s3 was a bit of a mess

#

subtlety on copium for 2 weeks due to eon

gusty mirage
#

Meanwhile sub got hard carried by eon

strange python
#

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

gusty mirage
#

And then you had to win the lottery to do damage

#

Wahoooo

vestal wren
#

after that we technically did fall behind and sucessively lost to other classes

gusty mirage
#

Great gameplay blizzard lmao

nocturne current
vestal wren
#

assasssination was even better, but not played

#

but i think that was due to tier set

gusty mirage
#

Then outlaw got like 18 buffs and just did more damage than assassination and sub combined

vestal wren
#

playstyle with it was not everyones cup of tea

#

ye

gusty mirage
#

What a timeline

vestal wren
#

i mean outlaw just got a massive buff after that

royal lantern
#

remember how assassiantion in SL was so bad for AoE that it got the HUGE OUTRAGE FoK buff

vestal wren
#

and was op on beta and in pre patch

gusty mirage
#

Meanwhile sub rogue got a tier set everyone hated and no damage

strange python
#

If blizz comes back from the holidays and nerfs rogue I'll be so upset

royal lantern
#

and it was still bellow tank dps

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

now we have a very set tone that outlaw is the spec to play

#

and it is reflected on wcl

nocturne current
vestal wren
#

2/3 or even 3/4 of palyers on outlaw

gusty mirage
#

Good nerf outlaw again

vestal wren
#

to be fair i think outlaw is just a good choice

#

it is never bad

subtle tundra
#

ner foutlaw

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

like both sub and sin have times they fall behind more noticably

royal lantern
#

like

#

FUCK DF outlaw

#

it plays so bad

dire lake
#

can you call outlaw even outlaw while playing with shadow dance? huge turn off tbh

strange python
#

The shadow dance is fine

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

like dude, outlaw is so atrocius rn

gusty mirage
#

Just wanted to point that out

royal lantern
#

it litearlly ignores rogue resources

strange python
#

Outlaw is the same as before you just press ambush instead of sinister strike

royal lantern
#

and just spams 24/7

shut owl
#

It's something that's for sure

royal lantern
#

great rogue spec

cursive geyser
#

its sounds dumb to ask this but when is the correct timing to use the puzzlebox in the opener for DTB Build?

nocturne current
vestal wren
#

tbh

#

if it was not great

shut owl
#

I don't understand it at all

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

you would see more ppl play sub/sin 😉

royal lantern
#

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

#

🙂

gusty mirage
#

UNPLAYABLE I HAVE EMPTY GLOBALS BabyRage

ruby lotus
#

dont get how a pirate is ninja themed but here we are

strange python
#

I'd like to see a patch where outlaw isn't meta and sin/sub don't get reactionary nerfs

nocturne current
shut owl
#

Why land finishers when I can land an ambush

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

tbh i think the raid is not super well for assassination

strange python
#

The pure ST sin build doing 5% more ST than other specs when the raid has 1 ST fight is totally fucking fine

vestal wren
#

so assassination performing as good as it is is surprising

gusty mirage
#

Never forget sub getting deleted in BFA for one boss

nocturne current
#

But the Shadow Dance outlaw is particuarlly funny and meme

shut owl
#

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

strange python
#

Shadow dance outlaw is entirely fine idk why that bothers people so much

gusty mirage
#

Legit one boss and they’re just like okay we delete the spec from being functional

vestal wren
#

seson 2 SL shadowlands was interessting

#

*season

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

because all 3 specs did basically identical dps

#

and people could pick their favorite

gusty mirage
#

SoD was a good time

nocturne current
strange python
#

Unless you roll grand melee and get no HO/ps procs

gusty mirage
#

Minus the actual shard system

#

That system was AWFUL

vestal wren
#

yes

strange python
#

Sod was the best raid in sl

gusty mirage
#

I would agree if KT didn’t exist

royal lantern
#

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

gusty mirage
#

That fight was terrible

royal lantern
#

im just gonna make some stupid comments in spec channels

strange python
#

People got hung up on shitty reddit narratives because they like the vampires and only did heroic

nocturne current
#

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

gusty mirage
#

KT might be the worst boss they’ve ever made tbh

royal lantern
#

the average wow player does MAYBE LfR

#

and not heroic lol

nocturne current
#

Plus deadened nerves and all that bullshit.

signal kayak
#

!neck

royal lantern
thorn fjord
#

Quit putting it out in the universe

royal lantern
#

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

strange python
#

So nerf outlaw, the cleave spec that's doing too much ST

nocturne current
#

Outlaw ST is actually impressive

royal lantern
#

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

strange python
#

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

gusty mirage
nocturne current
#

Only part is that trying to do DTB for AoE is completely bonkers, ST is alright but AoE is just completely useless

thorn fjord
#

Been fishing all morning trying for coins to buy shades 😑

strange python
#

Warrior has always been a wildly simple class to play

thorn fjord
#

I want that damn otter

nocturne current
#

So can't really compete with Outlaw going ST with a few AoE

gusty mirage
strange python
#

Fury still just button mashes, no?

gusty mirage
#

Yeah sounds like a court reporter typing lmao

strange python
#

Guess I'll learn while leveling as an alt. Good backup class for future patches

thorn fjord
#

Like a frost dk?

nocturne current
#

And Monk is also pretty busted

strange python
#

Monk is usually not great though

#

Warrior is the warlock of melee

gusty mirage
#

I just want to know why arcane mage went untouched

nocturne current
#

Monk AoE is insane

royal lantern
#

monk is always 50/50

gusty mirage
#

Someone give me a valid answer

thorn fjord
#

Monk scaling usually an issue

royal lantern
#

monk is either broken af, or borderline unplayable

#

like, they have no middleground

royal lantern
thorn fjord
strange python
royal lantern
#

most mages are fire brains

#

and cant play a spec that is not fire

nocturne current
#

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? "

#

Seli doing the lords work as a assa rogue

gusty mirage
#

As always

nocturne current
#

I hope so yea

gusty mirage
#

Seli’s the reason I played assassination in keys

#

Also I think assassination is giga undervalued in keys

nocturne current
#

Yep

thorn fjord
#

Because of IW?

sudden sigil
#

Thats insane

gusty mirage
#

A good tank will appreciate the kit an assassination rogue brings

nocturne current
#

Except Court tho, I can't tune in Court properly as assa lol

strange python
#

What's a good tank

pure moth
#

Key words. Good tank

gusty mirage
#

That’s because court is awful

#

Dtb

nocturne current
gusty mirage
#

Anyone pulling big enough to make IC worth is trolling

nocturne current
#

I was pumping absolute shit with IC

gusty mirage
#

Esp on fort weeks

strange python
#

Ic baits you before the first boss.

gusty mirage
#

Yea

strange python
#

Then it does nothing

nocturne current
#

And what you tweak for AoE with DTB, just Crimson?

gusty mirage
#

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

strange python
#

Dtb sin seems like it'd be strong for halls

#

Small enough pack size that sub felt bad

nocturne current
#

Yeah ok yeah thats how I imagined but I was afraid of troll with DTB there

gusty mirage
#

The hardest parts of that dungeon trash are mostly ST and 2-3T cleave

#

So dtb makes sense as the play

rancid blaze
#

hyper could you link your mythic plus build?

nocturne current
#

For which dungeon?

rancid blaze
#

just an overall

#

so many builds it gets confusing lol

nocturne current
#

It's normal IC/KB with wire with just a few tweaks from dungeon to dungeon, but no DTB build at all

rancid blaze
#

ok

#

do you use exg?

nocturne current
#

Only thing I dont play is Blindsinde tho (which I know its major thing)

nocturne current
rancid blaze
#

ok

strange python
#

Wait the leather boots aren't embellished

nocturne current
#

But blindside for me is just too much buttons to press 😦 I suck on that

#

I think Zero also plays without blindside

rancid blaze
#

yeah alot of buttons

#

what do you use in place of blindside?

nocturne current
#

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

rancid blaze
#

ok

#

i might try that out

nocturne current
#

Until like 20 I would say no problem, after that I don't think I have enough DPS for more

rancid blaze
#

gotcha ok

marble cedar
#

What should I be turning my Spark's into?

#

nocturne current
#

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:

fallow tendon
#

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

gusty mirage
#

You make sure to not cap charges

#

That’s it, as long as it doesn’t hit 3 you’re gucci

bigg puzzle box acquisition just now

sudden sigil
#

Is puzzle huge for assa?

gusty mirage
#

Yea

#

Puzzle box also pushes kingsbane + exsang ahead of dtb

sudden sigil
#

dtb is just so much more fun and easier xD

#

So many things to monitor on KB + EX

unkempt burrow
gusty mirage
#

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

unkempt burrow
#

I thought it just stays on the target till it dies what do the charges matter for

oak sky
#

Its a builder

gusty mirage
#

Anytime you’re capped on things with multiple charges you’re technically losing casts

oak sky
#

Does damage

#

Its very low energy cost

unkempt burrow

Gotcha

#

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?

royal lantern
#

DtB or KB build

pure spoke
#

DTB

#

i simmed the KB build it doesn't seem that much higher for me

timber meadow
#

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

forest oasis
#

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

spice spire
#

This is a guide angle

#

!guide

forest oasis
#

is dtb best for both raid and m+ atm?

oak sky
#

Best for m+ should typically be kb/ic, for raid it can vary with gear

#

Dtb is also pretty close for m+ though

forest oasis
#

i guess dtb is also way simpler right?N

ruby lotus
#

yea you just spam envenom at max cp -1

#

and dont mess your DM uo

#

ezpz

forest oasis
#

alright gonna start with that then and move to kb when im comfy on sin :D ty

timber meadow
#

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

spice spire
#

🤨

tacit wedge
#

Hi, quick question, in M+ with the Kingsbane build, when am i supposed to channel Grieftorch? Right after applying CT on the pack?

subtle tundra
#

damn

#

a whole 19 dps better

#

amen

tacit wedge
timber meadow
#

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

sick aspen
#

!neck

timber meadow
#

oh guess the puzzlebox just needs to be leveled for any real difference - but at max valor puzzlebox kingsbane pulls like 1500 ahead

sweet dawn
#

Is it bad that I like that I have like 15 buttons as Assa?

gloomy helm
#

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?

#

Don’t let the haters tell you otherwise

#

Piano sin is fine

sweet dawn
#

I love playing Guitar hero in wow

#

It's great

forest oasis
#

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?

dense cedar
#

if i had to drop something for 2nd shadowstep, what would it be

sweet dawn
#

Don't you want to cast mutilate from stealth for combo points?

forest oasis
sweet dawn
#

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

forest oasis
#

yeah ive only starting reading the guide an hour ago so i might be wrong

#

oh

spice spire
#

That was a venthyr thing

#

Ambush is a good button again

forest oasis
#

so i can replace mutilate with ambush in stealth right?

cloud pike
#

Yes, but you’re still opening with Garrote from stealth

forest oasis
#

yeah gotcha

#

thanks 👍

sweet dawn
#

#showtooltip
/cast [stealth] Ambush; Mutilate
/cast [nostealth] Mutilate; Ambush

#

Should work btw, I think

cloud pike
#

You don’t need a macro, just have mut and ambush on the same keybind on your stealth vs no stealth action bar

forest oasis
#

yeah it does, tested it :)

#

fair enough

#

i was overthinking it 😄

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

peak basin
#

Noob question, am I supposed to apply enchants and buzzing runes to both main and offhand weaps?

Yep

peak basin
#

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

I was super confused lol

dense cedar
#

Just watched echos wf kill, what's the reasoning for the sin rogue to let deathmark and kb expire then press exsanguinate?

limber lion
#

That's all

#

Pressing it during Deathmark is a massive loss, so he had to just hold it until Deathmark was done

dense cedar
#

and he was still pumping in opener?? xD

oak sky
#

Oh yeah didnt perfecto tweet about that

limber lion

He did yeah

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

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

true thorn
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

true thorn
#

yep

#

gets me closer at least

the rest is gearing of course

@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?

Depends on the size of the pack

Usually I don’t

it just feels wrong

ebon temple

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

balmy condor

I mean it might be the difference between like 28k envenom vs 30k envenom or whatever

#

depends on how much "much less" is

ebon temple
#

its like 1.2 mil less overall than another rogue

#

im like 5 ilvls higher :p

#

Kappa just remember the old legion days, 200+% mast give huge envenom dmg

can't really do anything with that

ebon temple

71 vs 67

#

me on 67

balmy condor
#

"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

ebon temple
#

lmao

distant tapir
#

never exang before dm right

slim hamlet
#

other way around

balmy condor
#

Always exsang before dm

distant tapir
#

so your bleeds during dm go faster and do more dmg?

brazen zodiac
#

hehe

oak sky
#

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

dim yacht
#

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

balmy condor
#

nightstalker does nothing to dots

dim yacht
#

oof

#

okay so its basically a completely useless talent

balmy condor
#

correct

dim yacht
#

yikes

balmy condor
#

it sims equal to any utility point

dim yacht
#

thats just sad

balmy condor
#

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

dim yacht
#

do you think improved ambush would be any better if it affected mut too?

balmy condor
#

imp ambush is fine

dim yacht
#

or maybe nightstalker just needs to work on bleeds lol

balmy condor
#

no buffs needed

#

nightstalker just needs to get the fuck out of the way

dim yacht
#

big sadge

balmy condor
#

imp ambush is a 3 point talent

#

so for what it gives, yeah it needs a buff

or

maybe i just suck, but im suffering from too many stuff to keybind on the recommended builds

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

balmy condor

just run CB and macro it into CT

and take the L I guess
