#assassination
1 messages · Page 295 of 1
Primitive technology compared to today but the fights were spectacular.
INTERUPTI SKULL BASHII WOHOO
Alysrazor must've been one of, if not the most fun fight I did.
Oh boi
Then proceeded to wipe in Ragnaros around 300 times, burn out, leave guild. Then guild kills it next raid.
What’s confusing about it
Destruction warlock with firelands staff. Empowered soul fire wahoo
because as far as i know assas was always top dps in raids
Assassination’s aoe is pathetic and the cleave is mediocre
Terros is the only ST fight in the raid
And by the time people rolled into mythic they got all their tier sets and assassination got nerfed 3 times
Assa was always top dps? What happened to mages and hunters 
i ve never been constant but whenever raid boss dps was mentioned, assas was up there
but yeah i ve noticed the heavy aoe aspect in vault so mby that s it
Ye, until everyone and their mom got buffed post 3x nerf
Arms warriors woke up on a Tuesday doing 13% more damage
For existing
Frost got chain buffed
Hunter got buffed
Fun fact, out of the 3 rogue specs assassination got nerfed harder than the other 2
Despite only doing ST well
hardly makes any sense
hardest spec to pull in pve and they nerf it xD
mindblown
assa was strong yes, but it only rly did st so it kinda felt bad getting nerfed when you are only rly outstanding in one thing
Yeah I’m still trying to figure it out myself
Especially after the BM hunter aura buff
Meanwhile all we got since the nerfs was our build diversity got gut
perrhaps they re trying to make it an only pvp spec?
deep down inside Im still hardsnorting copium hoping it was a compensating aura buff for the incoming specific spell nerf
Sometimes I wonder if they just nerf Assa out of PVP logs.
We got a talent no one wanted
Because they’re scared to let us play kingsbane and DTB together
Despite arms warriors existing the way they do
yeah what they did to arms is hilarious
Also spriest does pre-nerf assassination damage AND gets free cleave for every spell they cast
What a time to be alive 
it s like the woke up and thought ”hey let s just boost the sh** out of this cuz we can*
lol oxi
trueeeee
They press ignore pain for dps gain lmao
The balancing team at blizzard is almost as good as their implementation of the trading post
another hard to swallow pill
after doing so many ballances
how can it STILL be so hard to get it right
Thank god we have aoe shiv, which applies hemotoxin in pvp
Can’t imagine why assassination is giga busted in pvp 
when they ballance it s like the first 3 classes go to bottom and the last 3 go to top
that s how i see it

When they balance they don’t explain what their reasoning is
We got nerfed because of week 1 heroic logs lmao
Just bring us back to ye olden days when we foked on st
Now rogue is “pretty good” in raid
And it seems like that’s all we’ll ever be
They won’t touch sub or outlaw in raid, because they’re strong in m+
and might i say, a pretty outrageous nerf

So outlaw and sub get to play the game with 29 class tree talent points
I thought we were memeing
Because nightstalker is dead
Why are people so serious
Legit a waste of 2 talent points
The fix is done, balance team won’t let Realz implement it
and i m pissed
Unfortunate
xD
If you get kicked for playing assa maybe the spec aint the problem
Seems like the group is
Who is everyone
guild and other rogues i meet
asking them bout assas
they recommend sticking w outlaw or mby sub
I mean all 3 specs have a place in the raid
Outlaw is objectively the worst of the 3 on raz and people still played it and killed the boss
So when people tell you to play what you like, they’re not wrong
no, let him embrace his rage
You’ll play the spec you enjoy significantly better than the ones you don’t
you can play all 3 specs, but you always have that weird "allright, im somewhat trolling my raid by playing assa tbh" thought in your head
Why would you
I’ve never felt like I was trolling playing assassination in raid ever
i could do the same/more st and also not be deadweight for every single aoe situation possible 🙂
exactly my worries 😦
Where would you do more “ST” on another spec?
Sometimes tryan, I have a deepseeded yearning towards taking out back and giving you a... Hug.
and one experienced player said he respects my choices but it s not indicated

If your guild made fun of you for wanting to play a spec in heroic, that says more about them than you or the spec you want to play
^
Experienced player on hc
we can spec CT 
like, im fine with going full stupid 1trick assa cus im pulling my weight by a good ammount and the RL is 100%fine with it
but like, telling people what to play on hc?
Assassination does more ST than the other 2 specs, period
Hey, I like my meme 100% crit-mastery death from above 160k envenom hit on herb farmers.
that s why i came to you cuz u know better haha
trying to get the bigger picture
If your guild needs add damage and you can play/enjoy the other specs, then yes you’re trolling
But it’s not the same ST as assassination
You can always multi spec. It's not a problem you know.. play assa where it fits, other specs where it fits..
I'm progging M raz as assassination and pumping. Progged diurna as assa for boss dmg, but went as outlaw for adds on reclears.
arterial turned out to be fake 
Boss duty on brood is fun eh?
Falling asleep while everyone else is having fun

It's like hitting a dummy. Sleepy sleepy
Staff duty was 2 hunters and tank
"why me?"
I got so fucking bored I volunteered
And was told no
Brood is a lot less cool of a fight when you’re just stuck on the boss
It’s so fucking boring
Ye..
It's especially uncool for a 7th boss indeed.
like man, i feel bad here sometimes
my own problem for playing assa comes from feeling bad that im not bringing 100% to the raid, even thought im 1 of the strongest raiders we have, so its not even a problem
meanwhile some people here get told by their RL to not play the spec in heroic
like wut
But like you need boss damage
It is what it is
Boss died, you caught up on some sleep, everyone wins
Same
Thank god they’re getting buffed
Did they even had the bow ahah.
yes
Ahah atleast that.
At least you did more than the sub rogue
*better buff hunter by 5% again
I don't remember if I lost on boss dmg on diurna go hunters, lemme check
Well
I’m not trying to be mean
It’s already Monday
If we start being mean now
By raid tomorrow I’ll be gromnak jr
Yes. I lost to the BM hunter...
Did gromnak get kicked yet
He goes to whatever guild pays him the most gamer gummies
and actually gives him ONE HEAL FOR FUCKS SAKE
its not being mean if its to subs
I liked how sub rogue felt.. because it was new or am I a traitor
why would you be a traitor
dude, we are 80% making memes about spec wars
It's a good thing they took away ERs 4th empowered CP.
That was way too OP amirite
(except outlaw)
You're not. It's allowed.
I'm not what?
Not right
yeah and your constant bitching is getting old
Do you ever do anything here except being argumentative?
Do you ever do anything here except complain?
No. But I have reasons to.
What reasons do you have for just being rude all the time
Am I being rude?
very
^

exactly that behaviour
Would you like me to simply agree with you every single time you decide you're upset with balancing?
also seems like you're not happy about me calling out what you're doing
which, given recent history is quite often
these nerfs are like weeks old, like get over it lol
how can I make YOU happy Notter
you tell me bud
Would you like me to send Realz some strongly worded complaints that he's heard already in the last 3 weeks?
If someone wants to vent. let them vent.
you don't HAVE to try and put down people at all times.
not even talking only about me.
I don't try and put down people at all times
You must have me confused with someone else
no i've been here for like a week, that's all you do
weird
because I helped someone out earlier who was getting bullied for wanting to play assassination
literally an hour ago
maybe you were too busy seething at WCL stats
you know what you also wrote?
Yeah the difference is
so get off my back 🙂
@gaunt moat How much haste I need to beat BM hunters?
You're gonna need to HASTEn your way to blizz office before balance changes come out tomorrow
Send me WCL please
Time to buff warlocks
true and real
is ambush used in pvp?
Did you do a statistical analysis on this data? I only accept a MCMC of data
bm really need a buff
ah yes thanks i will ask there!

Idk what you’ve been seeing, but I’ve been here for a while and Oxi has always been super helpful.
Oxi is a fucking chad

btw @gusty mirage i just wrote you a DM but it couldn't be delivered.
tl;dr - not trying to pick fights. you do you. for me, half the complaints are not even being serious.
if they really bother you, tell me why
other than that, i don't appreciate the attitude.
now let's get along
Catching strays forever daps

IT IS HOW IT IS
You enjoy it don't lie
i laughed so hard when i got linked the clip
we were between pulls on rasz when i got linked
Well it worked then right
mrw we have to fking raid one more night to finish rasz
cause the hunter
is literally crying
24/7
i will strangle him

dw my guild is extending after 1 reclear to kurog 
id rather have your cry baby hunter than extending because "sennarth isnt a fun fight"
extending is bait
facts
we extended once in all prog
i try to tell them not to extend but they fr wont listen
its like talking to new born children tbh
they dont want to extend because that means we "waste time reclearing"
finger and whispering are big dps upgrades
so unless you have many of those already
i'd still reclear
we have icons but not many rings
they think that the ring isn't a big enough increase in dps

it's okay, trust in your vault 
i did m+ this week
fucking
blizzard
i want to see blizzard
lol
play 3x melee
catalyst makes the ring for sure 
in azure vault
this week
i fucking dare them
I FUCKING DARE BLIZZARD
STREAM
AZURE VAULT 3x MELEE THIS WEEK
i am seething
Were the other 2 melee DH/War? lol
m+ 🐰

Hello follow Guild member Mikku


I still can’t believe that was said 💀
Why wouldn't you reclear when you have skip
Just full clear till rasza 3 times and you have a 30 minute farm. 6 hour investment into giga upgrades
We’ve said it, but we had a gaslighting, toxic and manipulative officer
Riot
Dang that sounds like one of my old guilds lmao
Nah honestly not doing farm this tier is kinda stupid when the bosses are this easy
Wait you're saying my full group being full Static Speared with Quaking at same time in the last boss of Nok is lazy game design?
Isnt that patched?
It's patched when you arrive, but my group still died mid-air as close to landing. 
basically we have an officer who refuses to join if we reclear because he has all he needs so his idea is "we get CE before any reclears" 
It’s honestly disgusting, but after all his fucking up. Funneling loot to his friends when our GM was gone, his countless toxic moments he’s finally demoted and hopefully we CAN move on properly
aka brainlet gaming
But sadly, all but one has a brain, the rest are sadly outside of their irl personalities. Big brainlets
So are some of the players 💀
Today in Algeth'ar the bird boss even decided he didn't want to show up for dungeon today.
everyone has to leave combat, worked out for me
💀
like this yimit guy, biggest brainlet we have in the guild
Yeah I got the bird bug once too
I am indeed, i just go brrr

Everyone hearthed one by one then a smol birb spawned and attacked me. Killed it and it was fixed
it bricked a 23 and 22 2 days in a row, absolutly cringe
Yeah it is cringe indeed
Yeah idk what happened, but something funky happened with the ghosts that one person was in perma combat.
you can just relog, you spawn at entrance of the dungeon. but nelf racial etc all work. just have to drop combat afaik
hello everyone, it's ok that Raidbots use the puzzlebox after exsanguinate?
yes
Look at the time stamps 
Good shout to macro?👀
I'm just guided by this picture from the #assassination-faq
maybe this incorrect
its using both at the same time in the sim lol
just probably showing it weird. but yes the faqs right
okay, thanks
There's no caps but there are DRs at certain points. Like I believe you are going into a 30% DR on crit there. It's just best to sim yourself
As long as the sim tells it’s beneficial, you go. Stat balance changes depending on individual gear
Why 2 garotte?
Opinions needed. Have 1 spark left. Based on vault tomorrow, should I just use it to craft another 418 dagger?
❤️
never simmed stats, how does that work
You sim top gear as it's more reliable than a stat sim.
gotchya ty
is the dr something to worry about?

Nothing you should care about, just follow sims in terms of gearing.
silly question but where can you see the opener that raidbots is doing when you sim
I was trying to find it the other day couldnt see the option xd
you can't see it if it's a really large sim, but if you do a quick sim for example you go into the full report and expand the APL section, and below the APL is the sample sequence table
just note the sim does thousands of iterations and they just show you an example of how it went on 1 run so it'll depend on what procs the sim got and the randomized fight length of that particular iteration, etc.
new to rogue here, im reading through the guides. I was wondering for fortified next week. is it still best to use DTB over AP?
Probably.
You’ll still need ST to some degree and DTB isn’t exactly negative aoe damage either
It’s a good mox
ok so AP is only really better for AA or Nok?
any puzzle box macros?
Honestly not really.
I legit use AP on council (raid) only
/cast exsanguinate
/use “”
Any ptu changes on assas for 10.0.7? Havent seen any yet.
nopers
when u use puzzle box pre pull do you restealth?
You don't use puzzle box pre-pull
yes
but grieftorch on pull
np
When do you use puzzle box if you don’t run exsanguinate?
before dm
So after rupture shiv>box>vanish>DM>garrote?
vanish - gar - box - dm
but honestly doesn't really matter that much, take one or two gcds
I’ll prob switch puzzle box for whispering incarnate if no exang
Actually could you say more about why that is? I don’t get why exsang is good to begin with
cuz it does more damage
cuz deathmark
Well it’s bad with deathmark because it shortens the duration so you have to do it before no?
puzzle box gives mastery
no you exsang before deathmark
its bad if you exsang your deathmark yeah
but you dont do that
u puzzle box for more mastery, then u exang for buffed speedy bleed that is buffed by mastery, then u death mark to make 2 of them
you put up max duration bleeds, pop puzzlebox and any haste buffs, press exsang, then deathmark after
all has lots of synergy
mastery from puzzle still good for no exang poison build, just less good than running exang
I get the mastery buffing bleeds, but exsang making the bleeds faster doesn’t make them do more it just makes them tick sooner right? So is the dps gain about more bleeds in a shorter kill time? Like less bleed left on the table when the boss dies?
Related question: when you use box does it increase damage of bleeds applied before the box buff?
yeah bleeds don't snapshot
Mastery always applies dynamically, meaning it will increase the damage of your bleeds for the duration of the buff.
they update dynamically
wut
That’s cool
You literally snapshot with Exsang
Is Exsang really a bleed?
As I read it exsang just increases the speed bleeds tick by 80%
no it is not a bleed
it is an ability that affects all your other bleeds
I feel like we're not talking about the same thing
So if I’m following the logic the spell is good because you get to push more bleeds to full duration over the course of a fight if you use it. And you use puzzle box with exsanguinate specifically so the faster ticking bleeds get the full benefit of your increased mastery as well as the bleeds you reapply. But mastery updates dynamically so after the buff falls off your bleeds tick for your normal modifier
exang enables you to cram more buffed bleeds into a puzzle box/deathmark window
they all work together to layer multiple buffs with damage CDs
The alternative to run an extra point in poisons and not run exsanguinate: when should you do this? Ever?
I don't run bleed, but i'm losing about 2000 sim dps
by running poison talents and no puzzle box
so there is no justifiable reason to do it from a dps perspective
except that messing up exang in your rotation could easily swallow up that 2k dps lead
I was exploring it from a one-less-button perspective
yeah that's why I do it
actually 2 less cuz you also don't have to worry about puzzle
Because I only really play sin when I run eggs on broodkeeper and I wanted less to think about
like... it's a big enough difference that it's not really considered viable
i'm just stubborn
The reason is because Deathmark duplicates your bleeds. So technically you have 2 exsanguinated ruptures and garrotes during Deathmark, which kind of means that you have 4 ruptures and 4 garrotes on the target during Deathmark, which you then further amp up with Puzzle Box, potions, lust and so on.
Deathmark essentially just doubles Exsanguinate's value (not quite)
Now I’m confused. If I cast exsang and then deathmark is my deathmark not shortened?
No.
Oh
deathmark applies to bleeds that are cast during deathmark as well
so you get the full value of the duplicated exang bleeds
then just reapply normal bleeds during DM
and they'll also be replicated
So as long I exsang before mark, mark will run full duration
yes
exang only affects bleeds that are currently on the target
deathmark does not
so deathmark goes second
Thanks! Y’all are uncharacteristically helpful for a class discord
I did!

These facts are not in there. Just when to press not why
Wanted to think critically to make the right choice and for that I needed to know how these things all work

what do you guys think the average dps should be for heroic raz just curious?
need more information to answer
i mean if you pugging for example what do you expect ppl to do dps wise
like the average of all specs
that's a wild question
here 50th percentile
for raz heroic

Not die for starters
started prog on M broodkeeper last night, boss duty of course...but i was the only 1 that never got a stack of the icy debuff......luck or sin rogue bug?
idk how helpful this information will be
wut
You always get it if you're near the boss
i didnt lol
Are you sure you didn't get it and was just instantly healed everytime
yea but was just curious like 35-40k is low?
extremely
check the log, my name is fries you wont see me on icy shroud
doubt all 12 pulls i was instab healed so fast logs didnt pick it up
there were gguys like 400 - 405 iilvl doing 40k max

yeah idk what's goin on with the debuff page
well then, was i just taking dmg from initial cast and not dot?
looks like you were taking dot dmg too
WA wasnt picking it up either, weird.....ill keep a better eye out next time
this is one random pull
not sure why it's not getting picked up on the debuff list
same pull debuffs
thanks for the sanity check lol thought i was blessed
yeah i think logs are just bein fucky
but if you WA wasn't pickin it up either
maybe there's somethin else goin on

I'll have to dig into my WA whej I get home, I use atrocity he might have it only show at certain stack count that I wasn't getting to
Yeah odd then
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
Unbreakable stride is bugged and makes you immune to the debuff (still take the initial hit).
You can check by comparing all the top logs with and without it
ya i was wondering if that talent would cause some jaina shenanigans
hello, maybe someone could send me some ui’s, i’m pretty new to the game but I hate how everything looks, I tried some ui’s from the web but they don’t have most of the buttons(collection, raid finder and etc) and it’s kind of a problem for me as a newer player ;d
im using ElvUI btw
shift + right click on your map
should have all of the menu options you're lookin for
I switched back to base blizz UI
pretty much has everything you need nowadays
and Elvui is kind of a resource hog
i would normally just import one that was kind of close to what i wanted then just move stuff around
yeah ig, I just like how elvui looks, the health bars and etc, if blizz would have it I wouldn’t even bother
ndui
looks and feels very similar to elvui
but fps of default ui
aight i’ll try it
oh and btw which of 3 skill trees would you recommend for me as a newer player, I chosr assassination, was it a good choice?
yeah assassin probably
Does Feint work on Kurog pulse dmg after add dies?
oh and btw about skills, should I use the weakauras? I’m level 40 so I don’t have all the skills yet and I dunno if im doing everything right
what about assassination is really assassin like
Poisons I guess
stabby stabby
Sub is the assassin spec
🤨
Gz 
not taking the bait
yeah but it’s fine
unless frost is giga shit at st idk i dont play it
it sims 80k at 405
why is my damage always so low in dungeons ;dd the fking tank is the top dmg dealer always
weird game
Leveling is finnicky
That changes once you ge gear and everything is normalized
healers do high damage so they can solo level painlessly
yeah it’s based
I feel like shit when im playing one of the best dps classes and I sit like 3rd-4th as a dps
and the tank is top
💀
sin is not one of the best
Honestly tank damage is kinda eh. Outside or warriors but that’s been reined in
whos the best dps then
for leveling no one knows
Yeah you can’t judge best dps leveling
usually the lower lvl guys
Top end you can check a multitude of things but answers aren’t always black and white
That’s true
I’ve never beat a level 10 prot pally
do you recommend something for me while im still leveling? like to get any items or something, cause this game has so much to offer that im still mindfucked after 4 days of grinding
That mf autos once and smashes meters
Nah, all of your items are replaced at max level
if you're brand new just explore and level at your own pace. the game doesn't really start until you hit max level
Just play the game, learn the class and keep going on
just get used to your buttons
is max level considered 60?
they're just padding
you are being far more impactful 
Enjoy your run that’s what’s important 
70
cause I still dont have the dragonflight
ah kinda sucks then, 40€ more ;D
it’s a bit stupid tho, I can’t experience the endgame without paying even more
i think every mmorpg is like that
yeah most of em, ff14 needs even more cash cause theres more expansions to buy + monthly sub
gw2 is only the game and expansions
the only one I played which was genuinely free was lost ark
I said i wouldnt check rogue disc today to stay productive at work
Ended up finding a bunch of other shit to keep me unproductive
Thanks brain
I havn't done anything productive since before christmas
I should be studying for my cert
same fam
quit my job cuz i had a new gig lined up "Starting in a couple of weeks"
that was in November 
Is there any way to setup a macro to use puzzle box before deathmark? i'm braindead and fat finger keys to much so i try to keep the buttons i need to press to a minimum
Ass seems pretty competitive now in m+
Thoughts?
Best enchant is actually life steal with a 3.5-4.0 weapon speed, it’s broken rn and will steal like full hp
For levels 20 and under I believe
Don’t believe so
Competitive is not the term I would use for it.
Aside from iron wire, the other two specs are just better
Maybe I’m just need more sub practice, I seem to be more consistent on ass
My big problem is cooldown useable in sub I think
Is the yodar guide the only decent one out rn?

Try a spell sequence macro?
Or even a regular cast macro, only problem would be if ur moving it would auto not cast think and use death mark
yeah i'm just gonna have to get used to it on my bars
shi that stuff does something? I thought it’s only for cosmetics cause it glows and all xdd
i heard somewhere that there is a weakaura for tracking the Improved garrote windows after breaking stealth
anyone know about that?
Its just a buff track for improved garrote
Trying u find it lmk, would be useful

also wowhead has talents for every boss
Hello fellow rogues, I have a fairly nooby question, since im literally first timing the rogue ( or well, wanting to ). Especially you Whispyr could lend me a hand, since im reading your guide on wowhead in the meantime. Its basically the General ST rotation where its stated to use Shiv to avoid capping charges, but since im going for the DTB build, it kinda confuses me 😦 - it doesnt specc into the multi charge Shiv. Im a fairly perfectionistic person - so I literally try to figure out the close too 100% ( maybe ) too early - since I dont wanna be the Nooby boy thats gettin carried. ( That also kinda opens up the question - if i should use Shiv in general - besides the Opener - or is it basically like Shiv on CD )
It's okay to ask noobish question
even people at the highest level ask those
you can't learn if you don't ask 🙂
it's shiv on CD
Some use it even at full CPs
Ya- thats a fair point- but I know how WoW can be sometimes to people whom are learning haha
Ahh okay - ye kinda thought something like that would be it - but wanted to ask- maybe I missed some ninja changes, that are not implemented into the guideyet
how much haste yall running now?
i got a 6th spark and not sure what to craft with it, ring or belt are both only .2% inc's
However much smart robot tell me is good.
(Actual answer, no specific amount just do what robot says and ur chuckling)
but id drop jeweled signet which doesnt seem worth for passive/haste
yeah robot keeps telling me i need haste but then has me take my crit/maste gear lol
I'm currently at 1,460 (9%) haste
I think around 1500 is a good goal
ok thats right around where im at as well, feels good then
at least, i see most high logs with 1500
The only time you’d super worry about shiv is when running kb, but talent is kind of dead so notter is right, that’s fine. Also he’s right, don’t ask ever hesitate to ask, no one should be ridiculed for inquiring, we all started somewhere 
Also about the Pandemic mechanic- I know how it function ( been playin UH DK for the most of my time - so i know HOW it functions ) - Here on Discord and i think also in the written guide on wowhead - it says, one can pademic Rupture with a low CP - but wouldnt that kinda break it - since it doesnt go to its full duration ( or does it ? )
like- the new thing for me is more CP = more duration - unlike the static X from Outbreak
It pandemics loosely at its full duration. There are weird timings on it - but in general it’s fine to follow normal pandemic rules
so i dont have to to 5+ Rupture to refresh it ? ( thats the actual question )
It's incredibly rare for me to refresh not on high CPs
i wouldn't worry about it
more CP = longer duration
Max -1 or animacharged is the rule you follow
Fair, me overthinking might be the case here aswell 
Yeah - me learning new classes in WoW ( not you DH ) is always a mess- cause im trying to dissect everything
We all go somewhere. Hopefully you have fun in learning and enjoy it 
since i havent been playing Shadowlands - the Animacharge effect ONLY occurs on If the skill hits the exact CP ? like if CP number 3 is AC'ed it acts as 7 ? if its 2 or 4 its technically just a regular 2 or 4 right ?
you'll see sin is nice to play, it's not hectic as other specs
sometimes i like the hectic ways of Outlaw- there is something to it- what buggs me out a bit is RTB can be a buttlord at times
yes, you'll also see on your combo bar that that CP turns blue
it's like a mini-game to hit that CP
it's a really cool design
like- im questing i get 4 or complete buffs on 1 trash poop- and struiggle on elites cause lady fortuna doesnt want to give e anything good 
Essentially, we also run RC (resounding clarity) so it makes hitting those a bit easier
give pre-nerd RC 
give pre nerf arakali in shadowlands back ( that was the point i wanted to play rogue XD ) sadly SL wasnt hitting it for me 😦
i mean on paper it sounded pretty nice with SBS too, only thing i can remeber from Shadowlands really- maybe better because i didnt go thru the mess it was. Anyways I digress - Thanks for the helps. If by any chance I need some more guidance- I happen to know where the finest of rogues set up their camps. 

Idk what you are reading but I think maybe it means that you can throw a low CP rupture then shortly follow up with a high CP rupture, like you can prime rupture at low CPs. It does the same dps no matter what CP so in certain situations you can throw a few low ones out to get them rolling
I'm assuming you mean akaari's 
im a PoE andy- its arakali 😠
I'll spin your shadows buddy
but yes- i meant that ofc- couldnt quite remember the name - and that one was the closest 
Yeah, all in all exactly this.
i think it just confused me, since Outbreak is on a set duration at all times- and the CP = more time part + the pandemic kinda confused me whilst reading.
Yeah, the variable time is confusing. You just have to follow the 30 percent rule, if I'm going to get Anima charged Rupture soon and rupture is not on the target then I hit a 3 point rupture to prime my Anima charged one. It's all based on the duration of the one you're about to cast. I think the openers in the FAQs use the same logic to prime and charge rupture before exsang/DM.
Guys do we have a date or any kind of hint about when exsang is going to be reworked or replaced?
There is some variation between discord one and the one on wowhead- since im not a huge fan of having to many keys to smash - i try to play assa withouot exang at first- so i can get a better muscle memory at first. But yes, the KB one has a part where its basically rupture > rep > rupture
sry to ping you- but.. stabatouille + that pic... 10/10 scariest rat there is

Lame - Antifun Police blizzard hit honce again.
favorite time to feint on terros, go
you can feint both the beam and the sands
never cause then i do less dps 
Serious answer: most damage in that fight isn't fatal unless you fuck up
but i feint for soak
yeah you can feint like everything i just wasnt sure if people had a more preferred favorite thing
soaks barely do damage if done correctly, you wanna feint the beam that comes after
and it comes just in time for the sands too
what do you mean by feint for beam?
when it breaks pillars it deals raid damage?
yeah
a lot
the first beam breaking pillars, should have phrased it better you're right
Can't really find anything about it. Any real preference on poisons for dtb builds?
Maybe I'm blind. Can't find it. But ty
What are people generally playing for Dathea prog?
pure single target
little outdated
since we run DTB now in m+
but the idea is there
need to rewrite it
I'm thinking of taking whetstone to Dathea.
they only brought me for a few tries, but clearing platform took too long
are you playing sin?
Re terros, you can cloak the totally physical looking fights damage
if you play sin on dathea you are on boss 9 times out of 10
is it normal for exsanguinate to remove 10s of garrote's duration immediately?
just play your normal st gear if the small ones arent dead by the time the infuser dies blame the DH, Monk or whatever your running
arcane mages
BM, unholy, warlocks
unless you play triple dk weird strat, are you 1/3 ir 2/4 for platforms?
first and third or second and forth plattform
2 and 4 is playable for Sin imo 1 and 3 is not
uh, i'm confused
you want CDs for the platform?
yes
why? you don't wanna nuke big add
You kinda want to, big add not dying will wipe you
and if the smallies dont die before that just blame your aoe classes
We only had 2 attempts at platform, but to me it felt like big add was dying fast, but small adds weren't
thats a skill issue on the aoe side then
If you have ST specced ppl up there that might happen, seems like a really strange way to go
also having 1 smallie surving isnt that big of an issue
i see. when i was up i targeted small adds mostly
but if you only made it there a few times, people stilll have to get a feeling for that
If your RL wants you on platforms you really should be playing one of the other 2 specs imo
You don't even go up to platform?
is assasination rogue uncapped aoe? I play outlaw and got absolutely destroyed by an assasinsation rogue in m+ academy...
if you want to stay sin and have to play a platform get your rl to put you on 2 and 4
ah, thanks
There are some pulls in academy where outlaw cant keep up with a large number of specs
saga, do you not even go up platform?
I do, so I play sub on dathea
yeah, i can't play sub, haven't practiced it at all, and i just like playing sin
Ideally on Sin you dont play a platform or play only the third
Yeah, I did exactly that (only 3rd) on a few pulls on progress as sin but we lacked some dmg on platforms so RL asked me to go sub
Then i got boon from first kill and was asked to stay sub for rest of progress too
well i'm probably not gonna be taken anyway, so i don't have to worry too much about it,
but thanks for the tips.
If you do get taken you could just talk to your RL i suppose and explain what lines up with CDs to make you useful. Or practice sub on dummies for an hour or two 🙂
Simulator 🙂
I like both sin and sub equally so its np for me but i understand why people dont want to. When i mained feral i would never go boomie for example unless threathened by violence
hah
Sub is my favorite spec for when I'm stoned
I do feel like we kinda want to save CDs for dathea herself.
but i guess if big adds doesn't die fast enough, what you're saying makes a lot of sense

Sub requires like a very specific sequence of buttons. i'm just gonna mess it up and hate myself
Dathea dmg isnt as important as platform dmg, theres no real dpscheck there
Except after 4th platform obv but she will be quite low then already
Gloomblade gloomblade gloomblade eviscerate
i mean during shadow dance
you gotta build madabare thing etc.
you know any good sub video guide?
I was playing exsang so yeah
yikes ugh
First 2 sets of CDs on boss p1
ok ill just hold it
Then 3rd set I lined it up with first shield
But whispyr said IP was better than exsang
I didn't have 3rd DM up for first pack
Was 15s off
So I held
If I could use it beginning of P1 intermission I would've sent it
Nono
No it’s holding box for 1 minute right
2 mins
But technically 1 min
Holding dm and box for a min 
Cause you wouldn't use it till DM came up anyway
But shield 100% dam increase 
I mean if you play assa you're there for boss dam and p3
You don't really exist in the intermissions
I mean you dont like not hold for shield
1 min 20/30
You milking bro?
I yell "illegal milk" in the p3 transition
Cause you can hit the boss but it's 95% DR
guys im trying to log but getting this message

okay, have you tried doing what it says
am now
i just deleted the whole logs file and now loading back into game to turn it opn
how many times did we go over "we cant read" by now
Hey y'all.. Aside from Spiteful being the most annoying shit in the game right now, how do you generally deal with tanks who absolutely insist on staying in combat for 85% of the key?
Go night elf
vanish on cd, go nelf, prey
Yeeeah. Someone said "Go Outlaw problem solved" OH OKAY
I might just make a macro for that actually. "Benefits of letting me restealth. 1: DPS. 2: AOE silence. 3: Less rogue tears in your key." But yeah you right, gotta make a tank buddy
not restealthing is also a good option
just learn how to play without restealths and stop getting tilted
and take the L
Yeah, spiteful can eat shit
restealthing every pull on spiteful week is a major time loss
its not worth to ask for it
in any week its probably a loss
I'll keep it in mind. Haven't done this since bfa, it's a bit different
theres not that many dungeons where you chain perma tho
u can still get restealths in a lot of them
even on spiteful week
AA is the one I'm dreading on fort esp the trash leading up to 3rd boss
Not for damage but for silence/cc
you have 4 other teammates and you get IC in stealth for one pack, IC + Vanish for the other
but like coordinated stops are a thing
you dont have to carry
realise that no stealth is not such a giga dealbreaker as you first thought it is overall, tell your tank to do proper chainpulls, and not stupid chainpulls(cus 99%of tanks do shit chainpulls and have no idea how to do proper ones)
no dear tank, pulling the next pack when the current pack is at 5%hp is not chainpulling 🙂
THATs the shit I'm talking about, yeah. It's annoying and pointless.
either pull the next pack when the current one is at like 35%
its even better
or dont do it at all
love that with bolstering
but yeha, no stealth is not THAT much of an lost
But Dekai to your point yeah.. I pugged to KSM on Enhance and all I did was carry because no one wants to interrupt shit. I gotta change mindset here
like, yeha, ofc you would prefer a big IC stealth garrote
and for big pulls/hard packs you absolutely want it
but its not "if i cant stealth, i will do 0 dmg" you just do a bit less and thats it
Thanks for the advice ❤️
Erm, is 78.127 sim decent? I Feel like I might be lacking a bit
Most of my gear is Crit / mastery, besides the tier pieces and cape, cape being haste / versatility and
418 crit versa dagger / 408 crit versa dagger
Go sub run for my life
I learned that you must deal with it, for me personal im a bit shy to vanish on trash.
I ask the tank everytine if he can let me go in stealth before boss pull. Thats what annoyed me the most.. and the trash in AA for the bird boss bcs your stealth getting break without taken damage why?
It’s not bad
Yea but, how much should it be? I am on 411 ilvl
I feel like it should be 80-85k at least in this range
It’s not about how much it should be, it is what it is, you can try simming different talent setups and droptimizer sims to see what you could change / big gear that you are missing
I guess I could craft a 418 crit master dagger this week, to replace my 408 crit versa one
I miss the eranog ring, that is for sure a big dps decrease.
And for talent setups, I am using the dtb build with exa
Hello guys sorry if there is any messaged pinned but I didn’t find. How much is good the darkmoon deck: dance after the fix?
i consider it a if you dont have anything use it but its not all that great from my own sims
it's pretty painfully mediocre

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

i was so proud i hit 415 ilvl. then i realised people actually have mythic raiding guilds and 415 is nothing right now lol
eh
its rng mate
and like, outside of tier and trinkets, raidloot is ussules anyway lmao
what is the opener without serrated bone spike?
All you peeps complaining about being allowed to stealth.
NELF
What the fuck are trinkets and where do I get them
411 broodmama dagger gonna carry my ass lil bit.. but i am a scrub anyways 402 i lvl 69k dps
you speak with mr."i have a normal torch and get torch diffed by everyone else" here 
playing belf or nelf is the #1 reason why wow players get no bitches
Imagine having torch

The same, you just don't bone spike.
Damn is that why I’ve been struggling?

yes
Ah well, C’est la vie
remember that cute girl in the bar oxi?
you talked, you whispered in her ear "im 7/8 mythic" and got her attention
then she checked your logs and saw it
female belf
instant turnoff

Noone can fight your rank 1 irl parses my guy



Rank 1 booty
80k at ilvl 411 is achievable with decent trinkets and/or Eranog ring. You're not hitting 85k for a quite a few more ilvls.
me coping is different
I am female belf gamer too 
but it is good

just because its worse composite than outlaw or subt doesnt make it not a good spec 
"trust me RL, me doing very very slightly more st then outlaw or sub with 0 ways to do aoe, but still less ST then the other 20 ST specs that all also do good aoe, is absolutely worth it"

"I'm smarter than the lot of em"
@gusty mirage how many pulls for Brood
58
Quick question, if I have puzzle box, when do I use it? I have been using it before I do a animacharged rupture>bonespike>Exsang but looking at my sims they do it after exsang?
Biggest pain point is boss group healers figuring their shit out and add group to learn how to not stand in frontals @thorn fjord
Right after Exsang. If you look at sims time stamp it’s right at the same time as Exsang because it’s off the gcd
So ideally, you press one, press the other so it’s Exsang > cast for PB going > dm
Boss is actually free as fuck
58 is super Chillen tho… Grats
truuuuu
So
I just had @gusty mirage
this conversation with a raider
saying I should play better, because im not even doing half the potential rogue has (im 85 parsing mythic btw)
and as a Rogue, I should be top3 dps every single fight
because rogue is the best dps class in the game right now
I showed him every single fight on warcraftlogs where Rogue is not even top3 on any of those
but i guess warcraftlogs is wrong
and rogue is top1 every single fight
i must suck i guess
Your rl when you not top dps
What trinkets are people running in M+?
I got a 421 puzzle box but not sure what to have in the other slot?
I have a 398 grieftorch, and a ruby whelp shell I could train up and a whetstone I can bump to 415 if need be
I run box and torch for M+. I also have a stone but I feel like you gotta know your tank's pulls really well for that one.
Hey its me again, quick question - if i happen to hit Anima charges even if its like 3/6 i use a finisher right ? ( acctuly the longer i think about it it makes sense to consume it - nvm XD )
you use finishers on animacharged cp yes
Well after clearing my mind, I gotta say i get the hang of it, not quite up to pace- and with little hiccups here and there, but thats mostly due to muscle memory. Only thing seems energy management is still a bit wonky. Also have to add, im literally in HC dungeon gear quality- at best.
there are some tricks to it as well for sin rogue
if your 1 point from a charged u can always use garrote to guarantee it
so its not so rng
yeah true
You don't have to game the charged points like that. Play normal and finish when you hit them.
so far its just been hitting the poor dummys but yeah
i mean, the specc will smoothen out with more gear anyways- for now its practicing, get the muscle memory and getting gear just helps
i mean im 346 
stats are still all over the place- and tier set is missing yada yada
I mean, we aren't stacking haste so it's not like you're going to get much for energy regen at higher gear levels
fun to llearn something new- especially for the AoE im kinda hyped- sounds cool
Yea at first I hated echo, cuz I’d get mad at not hitting the charges, but once you kinda just try not to, it feels a bit better.
Just crits and stuff from dashing
i mean Tier set, trinkets enchants
also you get some haste here and there
just not tunnel vision haste
Yeah, we're glad to hear you are enjoying it
i mean its dummy and arround 5 minutes fight- but so far i was able to have a steady 30k peaking up to 33ish with a bit of procc luck
