Gonna keep myself safe
Did anyone else lose all their talent profiles?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4AAGn3if2A8TfgW9bE5qko Finally 80k. Had to make Cowl to get there

what trinkets are u guys running for m+?
Puzzle + Current Technique
look out we got a badass over here
been trying out different combinations to see what works best but cant settle on anything
Boon is unethical on Tree packs in Academy
ive got boon, whetstone, manic, puzzle and ct
It’s been a hot second since I’ve done a nokhud
what embelishment do we go before eranog ring?
cowl + lariat? i dont really get the question
is ct better to take than whetstone?
I meant eranog
CT is probably better to not juggle if you’re having issues with offsetting trinkets
Cowl is good even without Eranog ring
what piece should i craft after the lariat and dagger?
is eggnog ring > court ring?
Took me a second to parse through what CT was
well offsetting isnt really an issue in m+ so
I love boon in all kindsa places
makes my healers panic until I shadowstep
im sick of using boon in dungeons tho cos tanks keep fucking moving mobs out of it
Some people can’t juggle things well on their brain
fair
Boon is also good for cheesing some pushbacks and pulls.
Ie sennarth, dathea
You want both if you can
But can be kinda sus
so the crafted ring is just a placeholder till eggnog+court
well im talking more in m+ setting
i have puzzle box + hc manic for raids
trying to decide on a good combo of trinkets between those 5
fancy aight coolbeans
might try puzzle and ct then if its working for u guys
It's pretty good ye
honestly all trinkets work, I kinda see it as personal preference whether you go CT + puzzle or with Boon and whetstone or any other combo of those
then I would simply talent out of exsanguinate. Rather take a 1.5% loss not running a talent versus taking a 5% loss playing it wrong
theyre all good, i just cant decide on which combo to use
ct i like cos it has passive use even on trash throughout the whole dungeon
good way of looking at it
but muh fast bleeds 
you can have fast bleeds if you exsang before DM :P
but if you're not capable of doing that, would be better to not cut your main cooldown in half
ill keep workin on it for now

DTB only 1000 less in sims over kb exsang
you'll get there
DTB it is baby
poison dtb or bleed dtb?
well dtb exsang I guess
that's bleed dtb 
its gross but slightly less gross
also jk only 300 difference
on M terros would i hold exsang ever or just send
for the 4min DM I guess would be the only time to do it
I’m gonna start logging my keys. Would posting review logs for dungeons be accepted here?
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
They would
But they take a ton of time
So I’d message someone here before hand
I’d still post compared to dm because others may want to share perspective
But it’s not always a guarantee
Because it’s about an hour or so review and that’s a ton of time
It mostly stems from insecurity and I need somebody to tell me what I’m doing right and what I’m doing wrong.
Feels like no matter what key I run I can’t break 60k dps overall with my current gear
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
know the feeling
sounds like you are doing nothing wrong
have you watched seli run some keys?
No
I should
Like every single pack plays out the same. IC, Garrote, ER, Rupture, Mutilate/Envenom until I hit the cp for an empowered CT. Always rotating shiv, always using Kingsbane, vanishing on bigger packs and using DM appropriately.

Any key log reviewers in chat?
If it sounds like I’m doing it fine I’m not going to burden the fine people here
Nah If you want help, you want help
r u talking about 2 targets lol
I meant fok
gotcha hehe
Sorry I’m sleep deprived
how many log reviews in here do you think come through my dm's first
I need so much practice with KB/IC 😦 it sims 2-3% higher than DTB but I suck so I do less damage
AG: it’s just a large undertaking, just a heads up is nice is all
better yet, how many log reviews not in ehre do you think come through my dm's first

Too damn many
More than I’ve done this tier
And I’ve done a few 
I send whispyr at least 30 review requests a day. they aren't even mine, I just send em.
I want to slide into Whispyrs dms 😏
You can send them to other people, it’s okay
Disturbing things happen there
100 dps diff between kingsbane and dtb
do i want to be cringe or no
my brain is so mush I thought I've ordered food 3 times now but every time I open my uber eats I see this again because I didn't actually order anything my eyes just glazed over and I did other things instead
I really do try to do as many log reviews as possible, guild stuff has been painful
You need a break
Memes aside

I yoke about the grustle
wdym this weekend is book of shadows time?
But damn

I have so many things to put in
And I just haven’t

My approach to every ability is to die without using defensives
Guild rank check
Officer, Raider, member, or trial
There’s only one rank that would surprise me
lower world rank than sepulcher after adding another day
Oh I didn’t WR check
Oh man do I take a .5% sim DPS loss not to run Puzzle Box........?
You’re going through one rn. I ain’t here to taunt
Jez leaking the despairge of you losing your mind
Final 30 minutes Monday people were just watching you die inside
And I was simming
do not speak of taylor swift
I lost my shit earlier in guild chat
That bad eh?
I’m gonna have to buy tickets for Val.
I’ll never speak about it again
Also tbf about wr, a lot more people are playing rn. At least it seems that way
Imagine dropping over 300 bucks per ticket so you’re S/O can see this person from space but live
despairge
And that’s me_rn
and it's not even a good person
it's taylor swift

Ik man 
taylor swift wasnt that bad
300 bucks to see a rude mid-ass country girl sing about heart break for 3 hours
no man
people dont realize shes super mentally ill w/ 2 personality disorders
ofc her music was gonna become shit LMAO
I “met” her in the late 00s I got an opinion of her that stuck for life 
she do kinda be rude now those interviews arent very nice
And now I have to listen to it every day man
I did security for her at a concert. was funny. I got banned from working at the venue ever again because I had to throw one of her organizers to the ground 
Keep for progress, skip for farm
I had a dream last week that jez met taylor swift irl and taylor looked at her, called her an ugly bitch, punched her in the face, and then spit on her
I woke up with tears on my face of happiness
real story
same
And borderline some mother issues?
theres 1 or 2 old taylor songs that are a total vibe tbh
Okay maybe not borderline
t swifty aint a mother tho
That's a good take
That’s not to whomst’ve I’m referencing
Br0ther imagine coming into the assassination channel and seeing a wall of text about Taylor Swift
my parents don't talk to each other, great deduction sherlock what's the next mystery you're gonna solve
Bro how are you guys handling spiteful keeping you combatted in m+
I pad them
and hold vanish for IC
I’m growing my spite irl
The mystery of how Gabbi puts up with your nonsense 🤨
👀
Which is the worsest tier piece?
Probably helm since we want cowl
gaby with 1 b and a 1 y don't let her catch you reading that she'll deck you
What is cowl 🫣
Yeah but I deserve it? Karma gotta get me somewhere homie
Ty
give me a number between 5 and 10
8
8 popeyes biscuits it is

Why are you this way
I Hope my arteries clog and I can finally enjoy the Sweet Release of death
How big is that biscuit
are there any situations where you would let your rupture/garrote fall off before reapplying them in single target? like during exsanguinate?
little smaller than palm-sized
0 water enjoyer?
improved garrote/Exsang you let drop before reapplying
if a bleed is exsanguinated you let it drop
if a garrote is empowered from improved garrote and you are not pandemic refreshing it with another improved garrote, you let it drop
Is there a preferred fight style for simming council fights, or just sort of winging it?
you can 4 target patchwerk sim for council
Ooh, missed that. Thanks.
wowhead also has a build for council
Oh, lovely as well.
that's my guild chat
okay gotcha. i'd imagine the only time i would refresh with another improved garrote would be during the opener? otherwise when the 2nd exanguinate is up and deathmark is back up i would ideally ER -> rupture -> vanish -> garrote -> exsang -> deathmark -> envenom -> kingsbane -> shiv?
up to the deathmark good, usually your envenom will already been running, in which cause you want to shiv->kb
okay cool
the FAQ mentions syncing ER and exsang. is ER worth holding for non-exsang deathmarks? or do i only hold it for 4min in when exsang and deathmark are sync'd again?
you hold puzzle box and exsang for the 4 min deathmark usually
yep
but echoing reprimand. is that worth holding for anything other than the 4min deathmark?
you always ER on cooldown, and ER before exsang
ER -> rup -> exsang
is just a permanent combo
Speaking of refreshing imp gar, what's your opinion on doing it vanish,ambush,gar,gar just as the original imp garrote is dropping off. I realize it wastes some combo points but those sweet full dura imp garrotes and juicy ambush crits tho
okay great. don't hold ER except for when exsang is about to sync up for the 4min deathmark. got it
Is DTB + Carnage ever a thing? Maybe a thing in 10.0.5?
I think it's super irrelevant
But potentially a 0,01% DPS gain? 
well right now you don't have the points for it, in 10.0.5 you do and since kingsbane is dead, it's the new go to
ooooo
That's the shit I'm doing and it just feels right
honestly not sure, cause you delay the slice and dice and also overcap a fuck ton and you don't need that many for snd anyway
KB dead because it needed Zoldyk etc?
has anyone simmed tiny toxic blade with the aoe shiv for plus
gut feeling says it might actually be worse
pins
pins
I actually don't do ambush in the opener. Just on every vanish
I mean okay
that's probably very minor gains
but you're still overcapping a billion cp
so
doubt it

like deathmark vanish gar is already 5 cp
Gotta pop those ambushes
so you always gar finish gar
5cp env is slightly more than an ambush
so
I think it's actually worse
I don't sync dm and vanish
so with the ruby whelp shell, you can only train it in one thing alone?
okay well then why are you fucking talking about ambush then if you're playing wrong to begin with
If anything I sync it once vanish is about to come off cd if it feels right for the fight
no but spreading it out would be troll
Whispyr's taking my job
I meant max it out, but hopefully you can replace it, cause i've got it trained in two areas at once with one point respectively
Isn't desyncing vanish with DM a potential DPS increase tho
nope, combining that buffed garrote and doubling it would be much stronger would it not?
I heard we are getting buffed
we are
Wonderful
hold on I'll get to you later
what
the fuck
are we not?
Whispyr I’m a big fan of your guides
we get a few changes, which are nice lol

You’ve made me a better rogue
Therefore, would it not be indirectly a buff?
Additional options =/= Buffs
Right, but shivvvvvvvvv spreadddddd
glad to hear it
Oh okay. So we didn’t get buffs?
we got a new capstone that's like fine at best and terrible at worst
I heard the point allocation thing changed our build but I trust the rogue heads
our best single target build is the same as now
and our best dungeonslice build is exactly the same damage as right now, but we take DTB
Really? well thats slightly depressing
Do we really need buffs rn tho
That’s not depressing, I’m glad we are performing so well
Yes. (personal coping mechanism...)
the king is dead - long live DTB
anyways, back to your stupid thing
Lol
"Desyncing" vanish and deathmark is like this
you still vanish in deathmark though
you don't full desync
in fact, most people just hold deathmark for vanish at 2 min anyway
and if you play with exsang you would be HARD trolling to not vanish gar exsang DM
The initial imp garrote drops during DM right? that's how I do it
Also me
you just told me you desync
So I’m confused on that and it’s part of why I came here. After the opener is it just maintaining DoTs and also do I weave in bone spikes between mutilate dots or just hit it and forget it?

Too many words make my pea brain confused
Are yall using Exsang as 4poison build?

the recommended build doesn't take shrouded so the recommended opener doesn't either, if you play bleed dtb you would double gar
How important is weapon damage for sins now?
yeah you cast them for the cp and damage
im running dtb without exsang
main hand is good, offhand is less good
Thanks man
oh cool ty 
What does garrote extending mean
I’m sorry, I played warrior a lot last expansion so head big thoughts empty
what keeps pulling me out of stealth in brackenhide, no dots or debuffs.
The terrain probably, some spots of it damage you
the water rivers near the end do poison while stood in it
hmm. at the start, on ground.
check ur combat log to see whats damaging u
I know it’s from after the first boss and onwards but I don’t know beyond that
okay, papi whispyr explain for pea brain
you pea brain press vanish ambush gar gar. You do that during deathmark. gar give 5cp during deathmark. you overcap 5cp because ambush 2 + gar 5 + gar 5
me big brain press vanish gar env gar. Me do that during deathmark. gar give 5cp during deathmark. me no overcap 5cp because gar 5 -> env + gar 5
5cp env > ambush

I believe it means extending the duration thru pandameic
are you familiar with pandemic?
@balmy condor if you are energy capped so the smaller energy cost doesn't matter, is SBS still better builder than mutilate?
That’s the 5.4 seconds, if you refresh it you don’t lose the ticks I think(?)
yes
I might be wrong
yeah close enough
the 5.4 second thing
when you refresh
it adds to the new one
so when you gar->gar
you actually get a 24 second garrote
which is great
cause if you exsang a 24 second garrote
Yo Kingsbane doa on 10.0.5 
Wait so you garrote 2 times in a row?
Depends on build
yeh most openers go gar -> snd -> gar
but it's only worth with shrouded suffocation
because the combo points drive the value up
ya
Oh that’s neat
but the duplication drops when deathmark is finished
so you don't really get the full 24 seconds
I'm oblivious, but I couldn't find it in the FAQ sheets, what are sins stat prio? - moving from outlaw to sin/sub for more ST ❤️
im a dumbo pea brain too. because why does 2x gar give 23 second total gar. doesnt pandemic only kick in under 5.4 seconds?
18 baseline, 5 seconds added on is 23 seconds
wait dtb exsang takes one shiv
Ty
thats spicy
Ye but you can swap some things around to get 2
i think i dont understand pandemic. why is 5 seconds being added on? i thought it only added the 5 seconds if you pressed again when its < 5 seconds.
it adds the remaining time
That’s what I used to think too
If i refresh before pandemic do i stil get the extra 5.4 seconds? I know it wastes time and ressources since that can be used for a envenom but just curious
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
maybe this helps
Okay I see
So when I refresh it I should also do it to where I get 5.2 seconds added on
any time under 5.4
I really don't like the opener for DTB without SS, is it that much of a drop if I take out a point in Zoldyck for it?
sim it
yeh
I mean if you play poison dtb
it's gonna be worse
if you play bleed dtb, you're already taking it
any variance from that is going to be worse
idk how much worse though
I'm using your DTB single target spec for raiding
well there's 4 of those :P
Wait why is king's bane dying?
Faq only suggests one of them
What phial is most beneficial for Assa?
pins
vers
Wispyr you have been very helpful and very patient. its really appreciated.
haha that's fair, it's the Sustained DPS one that's in the FAQ channel
I try
yeah this discord has been insanely helpful
Fack
I think the only boss I won’t want die if I play Kingsbane is gonna raz but the ability will be dead by the time my guild gets there 
RIP to kingsbane though
yeh I can't just put 6 single target builds into the faq so I gotta pick one

So how do you lay out your buttons? I feels like I have too much to press sometimes
Gotcha, I missed that link in the FAQ, big thanks
thats a pretty standard layout
That’s a lot of buttons
i have the same except my modifier buttons are below
is storm eaters good for us?
Woah what is AX
No I mean what do you press for it
Alt + X?
Oh A is for alt

my hands too fat for alt

Their DTB gives 4 per hand
my gf ain't complaining ya know
Do I preemptively switch to DTB now to get used to it before Kingsbane gets buried
you don't need to know, it's super min-max
I wish they’d let us have both DTB and kings
theres nothing to get used to
its GrieFtorch
Kingsbane should’ve replaced sepsis on sbs slot, sepsis dead anyway
But then we couldn’t have sbs and kings
good
What do you mean? Don’t you have to stop lining up double shiv and just keep one in rotation?
its just as braindead but in a different way
okay so problem with this, kingsbane would have to hit like a noodle in order for this interaction to work
okay so problem with this, kingsbane would have to hit like a noodle in order for this interaction to work
Well sbs single target isn’t really much fun tbh. Not to mention the lag feeling on any boss that’s a bit taller 😂
before dm, if you also have puzzle box after dm


WOW
how do you even see your screen
simple i play on a very very very big monitor
fair enough
is dtb good in m+, I've only played carnage

What can I do, I just dream of playing kingsbane , and we all know it’s dead and burried once on a slot with dtb
We posting scuffed keybinds?
#assassination message
Some of y’all are inhuman but I’m also fully willing to accept I’ll never be an optimal rogue player
FoK Ctrl+2 and CT Shift+6
how does this even wrok
nah but why is 1 slice, surely 1 is easier to hit than 2?
i play dtb all the time in m+ now
1 feels weird for me, but it's still too good of a key to use for SnD
Just got way too used to having SnD on 1 in classic
completely human, just very degenerate
yeh, just doesn't make sense for DTB and KB to exist in the same build
faq
oh is one in there
i didn't notice
Next patch?
Well, tbh, if there’s anything to it it’s sense. Literally feels made for eachother. Would be op.
I can manage maybe 10 buttons and 1-2 buttons off of the 1-10 keys
That’s the extent of my capabilities
what flask are we using at this point people keep telling me vers?
at what time do you hold dm and trinkets for a lust?
How much of a dps loss (and is it measurable/simmable/demonstratable) to refresh a dot (say Gar);
Before Pandemic range.
In Pandemic range
X time after dropping
?
and at what point do you hold a trinket for dm?
always refresh during pandemic if you wont overcap cp and your not overwriting a imporved garrote with a normal one
IG gets casted from stealth, so if that one is falling out, wait for it to be at like 1 second and then refresh
if its a normal garrote, just refresh in pandemic
if you have a imporved garrote, you can vanish then garrote during pandemic to extend the improved garrote
thats the way i do it atleast
and dont forget dm before vanish
assuming non-imp-garrote. refreshing early essentially wastes a global
any time in pandemic good
and the dps you lose dropping garrote is the damage that garrote is doing
I dunno why you'd sim doing something wrong
just refresh in pandemic. if it's improved then refresh on the global that it runs out
ty all.
not so much "sim" but rather, understanding the cost/loss. Which you and Vex explained well.
o7
"would be op" is exactly why it doesn't make sense 
kingsbane just doing 1 mil per cast, 400k dps burst on opener
nearly 10% buff over current single target builds
yeah
seems fine
I see this as an absolute win
it would be the only viable build to exist
which goes against the design of the talent trees
so then what
you would have to nerf kingsbane, it's the outlier
but that means kingsbane would suck without dtb
so instead of having a viable kingsbane build and a viable dtb build
now you just made kingsbane ONLY viable when running dtb
and unplayable otherwise
and you caused balancing issues for the entire tree, in pve and pvp
and at best, you would be able to play a kingsbane build with 2 poisons instead of 1
EARTHSHATTERING GAMEPLAY HOLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY
I'm pogging
it's just so much work
for nothing
and the only thing it does is kill build diversity and make a required combo that eats legit 15/30 points on the spot in order to execute
doesn't even make a difference gameplay wise
i like them as a choice node its just unfortunate that kb ends up losing the priority position by blindside and zoldyck
Make them both tier 1 talents
for more than 3 second
do I save spenders to maximize envenom and EP for ST?
any1 else really fucking loathe spiteful
we call that pooling, it's very minor but if you want to and don't overcap anything in the process, go for it
So other than that, just send it responsibly?
yeah
if env and ep are both up and you're just sitting there at 5cp and 20 energy
wait for a second or two
and then go
it won't give you a dps bump that you will never notice, but at least you can feel better about yourself knowing you're doing the right thing
and that's what really matters
does wowhead have the 10.0.5 patch talent trees?
thank you for the clear response
So what embellishments do you guys like? I imagine fang but what else
Like full on items?
If you have the ring from Eranog, then the Head is really strong.
It's a ridicolous amount of dmg tbh
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it drop ever
Well I got it haha but it can also come from vault
but its a "very rare"
Lariat is also very strong
Thats the two that i personally run at least 🙂
I see
So not fang adornments? I heard it was a big bump
I guess lariat is also probably decently substantial
In general I agree, but this is not exactly a great solution either, just moving the talent in a slot where it will never be picked
ptr talent calculator is up, guide won't be updated until then
well in this situation, you can actually tune kingsbane to be viable on it's own
your solution actually just kills the talent entirely
How much stronger do you think would they have to tune it to be even considered?
is arterial+ a point in zoldyck better than shrouded and sbs
for kb yes
smoge
Interesting. Would assume it’s further behind.
Either way fun stuff.. hopefully they tune it so that we have good few options on st too.
This patch was actually super fun so far regarding the new talent trees, playing like 4 different assa single target builds, not many classes had this many viable options at the same point in time.
was assassination's tree really in need of change?
Think raid wise, not really, but these changes make us have super versatile options for m+ in any affix combination
I kinda think so yeah
our aoe/cleave design needs some looking at
right now we're spreading dots in cleave for not really impressive damage, and in aoe we're shackled to to crimson tempest
In before exsang becomes an aoe
I think the bigger issue is the class tree though
Can’t wait
So does exsang have a duration?
Or like if I use it in bone spikes will it just always be 80% faster forever
So I said this basically earlier before the change
if you werent an assassination onetrick
then might aswell just Sub or Outlaw in m+ lol
sub seems pretty easy to just enter into
And no Exsang doesnt work like that Doom
It basically takes your CD and cuts it in half and makes it tick double as fast
thats why Echoing Reprimand -> Exang is super good
So imagine it as a buff to your CURRENT debuff
bleed*
I would say sub is decently easy to enter
just need to get used to it
THe whole secret tech thing
The PTR talent changes makes me sad, I was enjoying using KB + IC in dungeons 😦
Okay so if I have a bone spike and I exanguinate, it won’t make it 80% faster
Bone spike is not affected
Otherwise that would be broken af haha
imagine it back when it had the 45 sec 100%
holy moly
85% of my dmg would just be bone spike
Infinitely scaling bonespike
I guess that’s true
Thatd be hilarious
It would be what we rogue specialists would call "very cash money"
Hello brethren, i've only played assassination for the last 7 years. Is there something wrong with me

nopt really
it's fine
but not great
you think they tune before .5? especially kb?
I hope KB builds get better, a lot more interactive honestly
Like its better than "I have 4 poisons brr"
I love seeing how hard it hits
But yeah I got a DM earlier today from my GM: "Hey you used to play unholy right?"
💀
Well, did you?
Yup

I got my first 3 CE's on Unholy
can anyone help analyse this log? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wPbDtHpLTmh273Yx#fight=4&type=damage-done&source=15&comparesearchmetric=dps
prolly
So with the DTB+IC build for 10.0.5, does it make sense to go fishing for poison bombs at 4+ targets or continue hitting CT?
!logs
could you perchance help me too if your not busy when your done with robert?
4 target is mostly ct
we already play PB + IC on council
the logic there is essentially maintain envenom, otherwise CT
wewt. finally broke 100k on council lol
@vapid sierra sure
Hey yall I just found out that I have been using deathmark wrong, but even now I am still not sure how to properly do my opener. Am I supposed to drop both an enhanced garrote and an anima charged rupture during deathmark or am I saving my anima combo points for envenom? I am playing DTB build
do u ever refresh garrote or rupture during a shrouded suffocation garrote / exagnuinated rupter / garrote?
faq and wowhead has finisher logic
would check there
it has full openers
and everything
you let those tick all the way down, otherwise you're losing some of their value if you overwrite them
how do you analyse Envenom Buff uptime?
Like I just kinda see it as a biproduct of your rotation and not something that should be focused on
Hey frens, does iron wire + IC silence work on the Dathea adds on the islands? It doesn't feel like they're getting silenced for the whole duration but IDK
should u try to save a thistle tea for shivs on raid fights? or just use on CD when low?
Can I get a letter telling my RL that I can't go kill adds on Dathea? 
if it's higher than 85% it's probably fine
end of analysis
is it overkill to run two Primal Shortblades?
what do you mean locked from it?
you cant get it
If you want to and don't have anything to use the spark for
youve already rolled for the week
why not
is it bad if envonem is my top details
aahhh, I've got the ring already
damage
it's supposed to be
BUT, I'd have to drop to 3/4 tier with the cowl
I gotta get tier legs next week, than can equip cowl/ring
With 4 sparks, what SHOULD we be using them on? ideally that is
lariat for sure, obv
Whatever slot you need the stats/ilvl boost in?
weapon->lariat->cowl->fill bad slots
sim it
i did lariat > ring > cowl > no more primal chaos
i did weapon>lariat>weapon>weapon
:O
kinda dumb of me to dump a extra spark on weapon but eh
yeah, I should probably do the ring too
do 3keys and you have 9k again
will there be more crafted stuff to use sparks on later in the Xpac?
im working on it, feeling good at +9s atm can step up higher to get more :O
healer told me to stop fighting spitefuls 
just yours, you can slap everyone elses without reprieve
if your mainhand is less than 418 ilvl I will find you
my mainhand is 389 oh 376
getting a buddy to take me to heroic terros tonight
cant wait for dtb to be viable aoe
for chance at those lol
Yeah pugs you just ignore them and run away/around them. You don't ever get to re-stealth in pugs this week lol
Nelf racial feels good at least in pugs. The only time I get to re-stealth if I want to save vanish for boss or boss opener if we are pulling boss with shades up still which they do 99.9% of the time lol
exang before deathmark with dtb because it works on current bleeds, yeah?
np
i could always after, im down for either or
ive only been playing sin for like a week, and havent geared for it yet
still dipping my toes
What causes kingsbane damage to be ass
its not ass
should we always save a tea for it?
Whats better cobalt defense ring or damage?
Ohh
Low envenom uptime usually
Kingsbane is about applying poisons
damage
so just not having SD up and envenom I guess
if you're talking about the ring from Cobalt Assembly rep
like just get as much hitting into your KB window
tbf envenom kb or kb envenom is such a minor Thing
do we talk in the thread or dms?
its not a make or Break point
dm's is for kinky pics
i got some of those 
With the 0.5 changes is the AP/IC a nerf or buff to M+? It looks kinda meh. I kinda liked having some form of single target damage on bosses. Feels like all of the eggs are in CD based aoe now? If the group doesn't pull around your cds could be worse, if they do it might be a buff?
well, you will play DtB+IC in keys then, and iiirc its equal to what we have now
and the new talent gives us a 25sec aoe soothe, can be handy
Is the .5 change final? Or we still discussing about it?
Giving up the left side though?
I still don't think zoldyck should be on the left.
I get pb and dashing and amp, and give up blindside, systemic, and zoldyck. I don't like that trade at all 😂
Namely zold
lets not act as if blindside is some sick gain for m+ when you are pressing FoK most of the time
Anyone working on Assassination for Wowanalyzer?
doubtful
It's ok for boss damage. I agree not amazing, but zoldyck is the biggest issue.
Guess maybe go dtb+zold and don't have IC now? That doesn't seem good either though lol.
Maybe I'll poke around and find something.
i wasnt sold on combat or ass at the time
IC and Ex just need to swap places lol. Adjust Ex cooldown to compensate and increase it's strength back up. IC leading into IW kinda makes more sense too
and now im just waiting till i kill terros
waiting for what, crafted dagger is still higher ilvl than terros
with better stats
outlaw uses a dagger too
with exang should you be refreshing rupture before you press?
Crafted dagger is 418ilvl with just farming a few 16s. You going to need mythic 421 dagger or a +20 vault dagger to beat a crafted handily, no?
were you ever able to take a look?
"a few 16s" man I haven't gotten into a single one even with KSM lol
RIP the pug lyfe
and when you get a 421 weapon, you just put the crafted one in your offhand
yep
like, not even lost
pugging to KSM was miserable. excited to pug to KSH now... I expect I'll get it in... 8 months at this rate :>
This really, and oddly. Pug bears and dks seem safer from my experience. I don't pug a whole bunch 16+ though.
That's so weird to me. Prot war feels unkillable while playing
It is for non-pugs. Your pug warrior gonna leap in guns blazing and insta splat
But I definitely saw one eat dirt over and over in my last key for ksm. Man did not take magic block on tjs
At least the very few I saw. I'm sure the majority are fine, but most bears and dks etc. you see there learned their defensives by 16s lol. Moreso than warriors.
this is gonna sound a little silly but do we always spend er cp on envenom when playing dtb
or is a rupture okay before sang
oh
idk, new to this shit
me too
I think Ex feels more awkward for players learn now than before. You don't use it very often that when it does come up you have to check all the boxes before hitting it. At least before you pressed it often enough you "got it" quicker.
dropping it is a 1% loss
using it inccorectly is like 10%
heres what im using rn
since i have 4set im running a bleed build
wait
thats outlaw
oopsies
forget im not on sin rn
The truth comes out
outlaw 
i love outlaw for keys
sin for raid
i cant give up one or the other
gearing both aint hard either
just gotta horde gear
i took the build from the simulations page
I can't do outlaw personally. I'll either assassination for keys or sub if we're being a little more serious on the push at least until assassination gets a few tweaks.
i dont know how its possible to play outlaw badly in keys but i manage to do it every time i touch the spec
press bf and hit the st keys
thats it
probably just prio/proc reaction
thats all outlaw is
rng proc reaction
sin is all planning ahead
Anyone's ER WA suddenly stop functioning today?

fotm tanks that get hard carried by how op warrior is, and have actually no clue how tank works, thats why they suck so hard
!logs
The amount that mine died to snapshot/wolves in HoV was...something, lol. Granted I don't pug often, but it was something I noticed more than once.

I do not want to be outlaw on dathea fuck me
go sub
Can't
why
make a case to stay on the boss the entire time and play assassination

i didn't even have to make a case for it, i got put there
i wonder if i can get away with that
I genuinely think sin or sub are the play here. Bringing an outlaw to pad on infuser that you have to hold on anyways, to kill a platform that should just be boomie CD, is super cringe.
BuT LoGs StAtS
unless your guild is struggle bussing on adds
idk why you'd even have to get away with that
its always hard to say what my guild leadership will decide
you can just st the big guy on platform anyways its w hatever
fight is just about exectuion, you get past 4th platform with like 18 alive
hard to wipe from there unless your dmg is real dookie
there is but you just burn boss
duplicating is a heroic mechanic though
yes but on heroic they expire
on mythic they dont
so you have to dunk them for raid dmg to get rid of them
and you can have multiple of them so not like you can afk with it whole fight
not sure what your definition of most is
but I see literally less than 5 logs that do that
it finally happened: I got 4p. "I cant give people hell for being greedy with loot if you're taking two items from the same boss"-wife... but also me: 15/16 to get 4p, behind the 3 new evokers
How is this Ruby trinket looking? Should I get one and start leveling it daily? lol
check pins
I mean... can't hurt to train it if you've got it/run keys for it. Dunno about taking it from vault yet
Has anyone figured out how to train crit proc on it? I saw it was still unkown on the page earlier

This is fang adornment right?
yes
thank you

Any gamers around to take a peak
how does the enchanting with the elemental lariatt work
I buy the R1 R2 and R3 ones
then I use them on the neck in that ordeR?
tyty
this is a bit weird but on one of the sim sheets it says to go haste crit Fire gems and on one it says crit mastery Earth gems
is this worth fumbling over or do I just go with one or the other and it doesnt really matter
It is 100% a personal thing since you dont have the statbudgets of the sim profiles anways
kk ty
If you get hit with PI and have windfury, you're going to be hard pressed to spend all your energy, right?
Pi is in deathmark where you're capped anyways
So those two things don't change anything
gems sim fairly close, the ones i use did sim the most consistent over 3 iterations of gem simulations
so neither is wrong, profiels are just a bit diffrent
that's also why they have slightly different output
(also, you should sim for your gear to find out whats stronger)
i make mistakes frequently, so if you find one just lmk so i can fix
And how stupid is that ? 😄
/cast [combat] vanish
On that note, is the ST gain of filial duty over CoS ring decent? Since it sure is better on 2+ anyways
And out-of-combat command?
Ty for multitasking!
it will cast vaish in combat and stealth else
but you need to be aware when you are in combat to not waste vanish
I want to make Vanish and Shroud not interfere due to them being on same bind
So Vanish combat and Shroud out of Combat*
Same bind but Shroud is on 'Stealth' bar
would need to replace "Stealth" with "shroud of ..." in the macro for that
Due to me being spammer I sometimes cast Shroud right after Vanish but thats something that wont be easily fixed as shroud is out of combat and vanish puts me out of combat for a second I guess 😄
the sim finished, it seems to still hold up okay in two target, but 3+ likely falls off
No no, I had a command that uses vanish in combat and shroud can be casted only out of combat but when I, during the fight, use vanish i get out of combat for a second and I am then able to use Shroud. Just imagine the faces of ppl when I shroud on some pack in a dung 😄
And bar is filled, dunno what I dont need, Poisoned Knife maybe? 😄
After all these class changes, rogues have fallen down in DPS meters in our guild pretty roughly, you guys have the same experience?
Even on Terros we are not topping anymore
Think Terros the execution time has an impact in reclears
assassination has a rly strong execute
On progress I'm still oneyish, but we are on kurog right now and I'm not excelling in that fight
Okeyish#
Kurog is not a good assa fight
If you play it correct you should be very high on thundering add and frozen destroyer. And then on boss after execute
Meaning you ease the tight parts of adds and one of the highest boss dps
Whereas with outlaw you do decent dmg to all of the adds and also boss but bossdps is lower
Feels better to use a Ring for stats than to use it for auto attack increase aswell
However I noticed that we started to kill frozen destroyer add so quick I don’t get full deathmark value on it
I'm also wondering as our other Assa rogue plays 1pt in execute (the "bleed build") and I play 2 pts, how much higher should he be before execute phase
So I dropped on that add and for reclears you put 4th deathmark on boss with a little delay
He's doing quite a bit more on bosses and then usually on execute I go past him or at least get closer

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/316923750073499648/1055055765980844093/image.png Lariat can proc ANY gem you have equipped, in any slot.
so you do ~30% more damage during execute than before it
and then longer execute lasts then better ofc
4set/cowl+lariat
@rigid tartan how do you handle the Kurogg right with adds, keep bleeds on add and sit on Kurog and swap when needed?

ofc it rly comes down to what talent combi you play
