I've tried changing to sub from assassination, and always find myself switching back. So it's sad to hear what state they have left us in for 10.1. I remember when I quit the game 5 years ago that the ongoing joke for a decade was that they usually never put anything rogue related in the patch notes.

The spec is objectively stuck in cataclysm

It performs numerically okay (rn)

It doesn't in 10.1

Gotta start your conversation with buff warlock

Then they'll listen to whatever u have to say

Can anyone tell me if your supposed to deathmark before or after applying bleeds for them to be duplicate?

spice spire
#

Usually after, but this is kind of in the FAQ

hexed flicker
spice spire
#

It honestly doesn’t matter for general PvE, are you asking for PvE or pvp?

timid haven
#

Both really

spice spire
#

Like you want to follow the opener, but if it’s not static, so if you’re in pandemic and want to refresh, it’s free

#

Pvp is a whole different thing and #pvp would know more, but for PvE? The big thing is to not exsanguinate after you dm

#

Since dm itself is a bleed, you’d be halfing it

strange python

timid haven
#

Ya I did that and felt the pain lol

spice spire
#

kekdog even the most seasoned rogues have done it on a prog fight. Don’t feel too bad SoCute

#

But yeah, it’s not a static thing, so mid fight, however is fine, but obviously follow the opener as applicable

timid haven
#

Thanks

spice spire
#

Broke: don’t exsanguinate dm
Woke: if you have a certain kill timer that won’t allow you to get full value off dm, maybe you can exsanguinate your final dm

its okay tbh the ones who were in already need to get it

like the few that was on the bench ya know

#

least they let me in for every othjer boss

fleet pagoda
#

is there a reason garrote's still on a 6s cd?

#

like is just spamming garrote some super OP tech that we shouldn't access? I don't want to necessarily spend a dungeon casting garrote but I'm getting tired of feeling like I need to calculate the optimal use of this button while also trying to juggle stops and ints and two other bleeds

#

and maintaining SnD while fishing for PB*

unreal bear
#

their justification is probably "it does a lot of damage" and want you to think before using it or something

#

i've never really considered it being on no cd

fleet pagoda
#

it just feels off when that's accounting for all of our damage, and maintaining it on 4 targets in a context without improved garrote isn't even possible FeelsWeird

#

it just feels like it's hindering the accessibility of the spec in keys

#

but maybe that's because i'm fat and old and bad at sports

unreal bear
#

i think it's a spec that shows its age

limber walrus
#

honestly they need to redesign Improve Garrote into applying Garrote to multiple enemies when use from stealth instead of making us apply it manually

unreal bear
#

kind of kills the value of IC, no?

limber walrus
#

Yea I think IC's design is part of the problem of our AoE damage not being serviceable. Its really clunky compared to how other classes and specs AoE rotation

storm forum
#

I like IC, it's a nice bandaid

sweet dawn
#

What so like make garrotes from stealth apply to your target + 2 nearby ones?

limber walrus
sweet dawn
#

That has its own problems though I think, right? Like in cases where you can't restealth, and it only helps on the pull and with vanish, doesn't help maintain the garrote on other targets without tabbing and using on CD

spice spire
#

Primal so good despairge

storm belfry
#

let IC apply its own bleed as well as garrote and rupture

#

and uncap it

#

🤡

spice spire

Let ic apply dm monkaScheme

Getting through intermission consistently?

friend's guild just got to second intermission and is feeling confident

#

i don't have the heart to tell them

gaunt moat
#

about what hah

unreal bear
#

"there's no way we spend that much time wiping on intermission"

gaunt moat
#

It's not that bad

#

We only had 2 tries on 2nd intermission, but I feel like it's very doable

im watching their rogue's pov and still watching them get clapped by breaths

#

prog doesnt look too bad tho

gaunt moat
#

our issue was we nuked one add too fast because we have too much melee

steel spire
#

we also held on first up to 30%

gaunt moat
#

that's where we at:

unreal bear
#

think you're good for CE?

gaunt moat
#

I think there's a chance it dies this week

unreal bear
#

huge

#

these guys are probably limited by an inconsistent roster

#

i think they're with their 15th healer because they keep leaving

gaunt moat
#

yeah we also had our best dps leave last week. was recruited by top 300 guild, so he left on good terms

unreal bear
#

yeah, unfortunate but good for him

gaunt moat
#

this was our P2 progression though, we got through it pretty well i think

red cloak
#

quick question, is it normal to be energy starved? just changed to sin, so I'm not 100% savvy on that part and I read here that haste isn't very good, but vers is even worse lol

gaunt moat
#

Yes

unreal bear
#

haste/vers aren't terrible, they're just sub-optimal

gaunt moat
#

there will be times where you've got nothing.

red cloak
#

well I have a ton of vers I wanna drop but it's from mostly pvp gear

gaunt moat
#

But you're not supposed to be energy starved all the time, if that's what you're asking

unreal bear
#

i usually starve out ~2 mins after opener

#

otherwise you're just maintaining so dont sweat it too much

red cloak
#

no, just sometimes. I need to get used to using ER and Shiv

unreal bear
#

dont have to throw out envenoms endlessly

red cloak
#

oh

red cloak
#

cuz I only had mutilate and envenoms left to do

#

and mut is expensive

unreal bear
#

it's not like assassination used to be where you keep elaborate planning up as much as possible. most of your damage is from dots

gaunt moat
#

you envenom on 5-6CP

red cloak
#

yeah I know

gaunt moat
#

then you're good

red cloak
#

okay so it's not bad to sit and auto for a bit sometimes

unreal bear
#

not at all

#

pooling is normal

red cloak
#

kk good just felt weird coming from sub

gaunt moat
#

pooling isn't really integral now for sin though

red cloak
#

I feel like I do no damage as sub anymore besides my 6 second burst and if something ruins it gg

unreal bear
#

if bleeds are rolling and timers aren't short, you can pool for a bit. just dont envenom over refreshing rupture/garrote in pandemic

red cloak
#

yeah I made my WAs glow red when I need to refresh them for pandemic

sweet dawn
#

If you're at 6 CP and low energy with envenom buff you can wait before you spend right? Just to get some energy back

unreal bear
#

i would think that's fine if everything is up. only thing you're "gaining" is a refreshed EP/Envenom buff or a poison bomb proc but im dumb

red cloak
#

I'm so sad we don't use kingsbane anymore

#

I dont know how I feel about DTB yet

unreal bear
#

free damage pepe_nice no thought

gaunt moat
#

It's almost impossible for envenom buff to drop. don't need to think too hard about pooling.
but you can wait sometimes 1-2 seconds if garrote or rupture is about to fall off instead of envenom

unreal bear
#

as long as you're not capping energy, it's not like you've got a lot of opportunities to lose out on energy

red cloak
#

yeah bc mut is 50 energy lol that is so much

#

and garrote is 45 and ambush is 50 jesus

gaunt moat
#

no but what are you gaining

unreal bear
#

in respect to what

red cloak
#

I dont see how I could ever cap energy without accidentally spamming thistle tea

gaunt moat
#

@red cloak that's why we have so many tools to to get CPs other than garrote now

#

Ambush, ER, SBS, shiv

red cloak
#

SBS, Shiv, ER I'm assuming?

#

oh and blindside yeah

gaunt moat
#

and then as you've said, TT when needed on top of that

unreal bear
#

i hate SBS so much

red cloak
#

lol

gaunt moat
#

why's that

red cloak
#

I would hate it if it wasnt 3 charges

unreal bear
#

it feels awkward mostly

#

i think it does slightly more dmg than a muti for less energy, travel time for CP, infinite bleed

#

just feels like a weird spell but i never played shadowlands

red cloak
#

question, for AoE do we spam FoK?

#

when I was sub i spammed shuriken storm and black powder really simple

balmy condor
#

fok on 3+

red cloak
#

but I know FoK doesnt fill your cp every cast like SS does

#

so we just replace Mut with FoK?

balmy condor
#

yes

red cloak
#

interesting okay

#

and then just dump on CT and use IC before packs or during if it takes too long?

runic hinge
#

If flying daggers made fok give a combo point for every enemy hit would it still be trash

balmy condor
#

IC from stealth at the start of packs, or if it's a long pack you just send it again

balmy condor
#

it would be so rotationally warping

#

would go from a trash talent to like

#

stronger than a capstone

runic hinge
#

Dang

red cloak
#

lol that's baseline Shuriken Storm tho

balmy condor
#

they're different specs

red cloak
#

yeah you right

#

when do I ever forego rupture for ct?

balmy condor
#

you rupture/garrote until you have enough energy

#

always maintain CT

#

and then you either envenom or ct spam

#

or both

#

choice is yours

red cloak
#

does that depend on how many targets there are

balmy condor
#

not really

red cloak
#

then why would I envenom over ct in aoe

balmy condor
#

because poison bomb exists

red cloak
#

is there a reason

#

oh

#

tru

#

okay makes sense

balmy condor
#

in general if you don't have a prio or things are spread out

#

go for CT

#

otherwise envenom

red cloak
#

makes sense good good

#

hopefully this feels more consistent than sub for me

balmy condor
#

first time anyone has ever said "made sense" about assassination's aoe rotation

red cloak
#

cuz I love sub but I cant do it rn lol

balmy condor
#

assassination aoe is such a mess

red cloak
#

I think that's why I ditched it for sub

runic hinge
#

My friends tell me I could do much better as sub but I just don’t find it that fun

rocky ruin
red cloak
#

oh why is that

#

before I hardwire myself into sin

buoyant herald
#

It seems to be looking like the “best” choice if you only want to focus on one spec

red cloak
#

is there a pin or link I can read

#

I'm in a raid or I'd check

sweet dawn
#

Assassination aoe really do be like "ST till you get your energy fix, then 1 aoe spender and back to ST bois

#

"

rocky ruin
sweet dawn
rocky ruin
#

nah i accept that assa is getting the sub treatment from bfa

sweet dawn
#

I just like stabbin

red cloak
#

mmm we will see

balmy condor
# red cloak oh why is that

cause sin and sub are looking about the same as right now but sins tier is pretty painfully mediocre and sub does basically everything better already

#

like sub is better aoe, better single target

#

and there's nothing coming in 10.1 to change that

red cloak
#

then why do I feel useless as sub lol

gusty mirage
balmy condor
red cloak
#

weird I dont feel useless as sin idk maybe u right

balmy condor
#

checkmate

gusty mirage
#

I mean the part that works for sub is awful

#

and the 4pc even if it works

deft vault
#

sub 2piece is awful to play with

gusty mirage
#

is awful

deft vault
#

it doesnt even add up the duration of symbols is just add pandemic to it

gusty mirage
#

also the sin tier set does decent damage

#

it's just boring

#

unlucky

rocky ruin
red cloak
#

I don't dislike sin I just liked the crazy burst I had with sub and I was pvping more often but now I feel useless

rocky ruin
#

It's like whispyr said skill diff

red cloak
#

I want to be offended but I know you're right

#

I been working too much havent been able to put the time in

I think I just get railed by all melees bc I'm 391 ilvl

i dont really have as many issues with casters

oh youre talking about pvp

and elite mobs

whats your pvp ilvl

idk I'll check once I kill rasz

limber walrus
rocky ruin
#

IC cd is 45 sec and still to much, FoK is feels kinda weird to use if pressing 3-4 times to get 6 cp and use for ct or rupture
for sub is like 1-2 ss bam 6-7 combo points

red cloak
#

yeah dude ss > bp > ss > bp

#

super easy

#

ss > sd + symbols > bp > ss > evis > shadowstrike > sectech

#

then spam bp

#

it's ridiculous

rocky ruin
#

its boring i get that but, its also boring pressing fok so much for one ct or rupture

red cloak
#

idk I think its fun lol

royal lantern
#

you guys have no idea about sub

you are ALSO doing ss->rupture to apply the dot on 2targets in 2GCD's, while also doing more dmg thann the bleed spec with it

red cloak
#

replicating shadows yeah

brazen sluice
#

idk why u joking on sub while we still have BM hunters exists in the game

assa spending 3-5 gcds for a single rupture on 5targets, meanwhile sub needs 4gcds to get a rupture on all of them, while also doing more dmg with it OMEGAKEKW

is ww also looking bad? redesigned tier good or no?

gaunt moat
#

ww tier said increases their ST damage.
But afaik it also increased damage from sources, like trinkets.
it was changed to only increase damage from flameshadow-nova (2p bonus).
so it's not as good now.

Interesting fact, my 408 diurna ring sims higher than any other fully upgraded ring. ( i have head piece ) but when i go target dummy ST it is the opposite. Any useful comments on that ?

#

Other ring is crit mas swith socket 418

#

You are totally right on SIM but i spend good 2 hours on optimizing my gear. + that much versa feels meeh on assa

#

I feel like loosing so much stat since one of our ring does not give stats anymore

jokes on you, i do

Did u actually try yourself other than sim ? Just asking out of curiosity @eternal nymph

Okay , i ll take your word. Thank u @eternal nymph

@balmy condor new cooking incomming: Poison bomb has a 20%proc chance, increased by 10% for each active Rupture/garrote

They don't want to make any changes right now because a rework is being designed for 10.1.5. Kind of a waste to do tuning on the current version when it's getting scrapped soon.

10.3 will surely be our holy grail

sure but knowing blizzard hoping for any change means lots of copium

Going into 10.1*

people draw early conclusions about 10.1

Now we prayge for tuning

vestal wren
#

and take raid testing numbers too seriouse

#

tuning will happen

#

just a reminder

#

subtlety looked to be #1 in dps in SL beta

#

to just be lower 3rd once the raid released

#

and considerable just bad

#

Yes, haha

we have 3 dps specs, surely one of them will be decent

#

need to run simulations

#

and tier set at least on sub seems to have room for apl changes

#

so sill not 100% on how it will play out

near valley
#

is The Rotten still looking like the play?

viscid spear
vestal wren
near valley
#

oh thank god

vestal wren
#

could end up just equal or worse than more standard ones

#

but i would wait and see how it plays out

vestal wren
#

but who knows

near valley
#

RWF is where most of the tuning happens i'd reckon

#

or just before*

vestal wren
#

rwf has a big issue

#

because they need to decide in advanced what to prepear

near valley
#

oh yeah rthat's true

viscid spear
vestal wren
#

like

#

asusme rogue gets late tuning

#

rwf won't play rogue if it looks bad

#

just because they need to make predictions from ptr

near valley
#

so next 2 weeks should have peak tuning then

vestal wren
#

tho i assume there is a certain flexibility given how many chars people prepeare

near valley
#

the amount of splits though

near valley
#

might be an ele shaman type season ngl

viscid spear
#

Man, I could never get into Shaman

vestal wren
#

i think rogue will end up decent/good

near valley
vestal wren

the majority won't be impacted by early balancing issues

Me messaging Kwanz 30 minutes a day

vestal wren
#

who is kwanz

near valley
#

kwanza

spice spire
#

My warrior. He’s a very thick jokester

#

He’s insane gameplay wise. Like top 5 I’ve ever played with. But sometimes it’s like talking to a wall

#

And she runs like 60 keys a week with him

viscid spear
# vestal wren who is kwanz

At this point you need to understand that we're all psychopaths. It's the blind leading the blind, except we're somehow terrifying

spice spire
#

Her mental has to be insane because he’s very troll kekdog

vestal wren
#

haha lol

spice spire
#

He’s the kind of tank that says “okay, I’m pulling the room” and you think he’s joking, but he’s not

vestal wren
#

sounds like a nice person to be around

spice spire
#

Kwanz is lovely actually. My entire guild has their gubs but if I didn’t like them, I wouldn’t raid with them.

He’s also very helpful on the gameplay side of things as well. Man should be in a far better guild than he is, but his work schedule prevents that

spice spire
#

That’s how you top AV as sin whispyrsalute

#

She unfortunately heals though so ICANT

minor gate
#

They’re nerfing leech as well

thorn fjord
#

And their reason behind it is funny lol

minor gate
#

I was really tired when I read but was just “damn not a single rogue note since our tier Nerf and we’re still getting nerfed”

balmy condor
#

They’re nerfing the stat

#

So leeching poison buffed technically

#

In the grand scheme of leech

thorn fjord
#

Buff speed

#

GIVE ME MORE SPEED

near valley
balmy condor
#

Let’s get real though the leech change was just healer nerf though

#

No one in the raid has leech aside from healers

thorn fjord
#

leech change should only affect like 1% of the player base lol

near valley
#

won't shed tears over losing leech

thorn fjord
#

Leech? Never knew her

near valley
balmy condor
#

I won’t even be losing leech

near valley
#

btw what was that thing in SL that gave u more damage when you were disarmed

balmy condor
#

The only way I ever get leech is if it drops on a dagger

frosty cedar
keen aurora
royal lantern
#

5% healing means 5% of your dmg or healing done as healing for yourself

#

in a raid, you do a aoe heal that heals 5people for 50k(so 250k in total) and them get 5% for yourself

#

or when you use a healing cd, you litearlly heal all 20players at once and them get 5% for yourself

#

leech is strong on healers, cus with enough leech they never heal themself anymore, healing other tops themself

frosty cedar
#

he out here leeching

frosty cedar
#

Healer moment I guess

royal lantern
#

i mean, thats what healing cd's are supposed to do

#

most aoe healing is mana heavy and 4-6targets

#

CD's are everyone and extremely mana efficent

royal lantern
frosty cedar
#

they get leech from their class tree too I think

royal lantern
#

you heal people->leech heals you->echo of light is applied cus its the mastery->leech heals on every tick of it again

What're the current thoughts on how assassination is looking in 10.1? I'd think it'd be pretty good in raid cause of the ST bosses

#

It’s my favorite time of the patch cycle

silk bane
#

but lke did u see ptr testing though?

#

lowkey sin is fine tuning wise with respect to other melee

#

its just that all ranged are doing 30% more dps than all melee

#

so its not sin specific

slim hamlet
#

Oh yea there has already been raid testing right?

#

Does it look good, the fights that is, not necessarily sin rogue, since we're in offtopicv2

steel ridge
#

Allegedly alot of ST

slim hamlet
#

Hells yea

#

Surely we get to keep our ST then

steel ridge
#

so actually we should be trucking, if tuning isn’t miserable

silk bane
#

so like theres 4 fights that have either ads or are cleave.

slim hamlet
timber kelp
#

and adds become way more important in mythic

slim hamlet
#

idk about u but to me brood was entirely ST too starege

timber kelp
#

you have ST and add teams, sure

silk bane
#

i mean every fight is single target if you got enough boomies and Dh's

timber kelp
#

but if you care about logs, add teams are the way to go

slim hamlet
#

ew

timber kelp
#

sub or outlaw on adds are very good

timber kelp
#

For whatever reason, theyve seen very reluctant to touch mage or rogue since before 10.05

Didnt mage get changes

viscid spear

Bit o' nerfs, funny innit

spice spire
viscid spear

They've been slowly killing our AoE to buff our ST in miniscule ways

storm belfry

So we are the best spec atm on ptr right

spice spire
viscid spear
silk bane
#

idk why people seem to ignore the asymmetry here, but why out of the 3 class trinkets, 2 of them are random procs and one of them is on demand main stat. and the one demand one gives 3 times more value than the proc ones.

#

and somehow the ondemand 10k mainstat trinket owners are outperforming every other spec on ptr

must be a coincidence

Anyone have a definitive answer on cloak and runic brand damage on odyn? From what I've experienced it cannot be cloaked

You have to cloak before the cast goes off

elusiveness maybe? seems like a strong talent in there on tyran weeks in general

silk bane
#

elusiveness is only 20%, vanish shield is 30%, and also on a high tyran how are u gonna live the second set of tripple spears without a giant external?

it depends on how ur comps set up, but for our comp, i vanish + wog the first one, precloack the second one, usually pot + extrenal the third one and cheat the second set of triple spears

How does assassination look in 10.1 with the set bonus? Will it be enough to lift this spec out of last place?

Sad face. I miss my old assassination rogue

Well maybe we can get a jump if every other dps tier provides negative value

strange python
#

Sin wouldn't be last place if this raid wasn't filled to the brim with egregious padding

And sin would immediately be a mid tier spec if next tiers raid bosses were live right now

That’s what I was assuming

Best rogue spec on just utility/fun in aoe, would play tf out of it

hexed flicker

I'm probably way off the mark on what would improve assassination but if they couldn't make their aoe damage more consistent I would settle for making IC suck less. Like turn it into a button that applies all of your dots to x amount of nearby targets with your current combo point count.

I'm mostly memeing about ptr as people that are here often should know

but you do you kekdog

burnt latch
#

i dont understand why ppl doom at this stage

#

rogue was best class for 10.0

#

assa got massive talent changes in 10.0.5

#

and the spec has little to no known bugs that make it unfun to play

#

if we're being honest the dev work shouldnt have gone into rogue, as it hasnt

#

theres a lot more problematic classes, rogue is good 🙂

grim jay
#

its a numbers-thing to keep it going, but sin having issues in m+ isnt anything new and they couldve addressed that before

eager solstice
#

They mentioned exsang rework and really haven’t brought it up. Pb/ct seem wonky. Our aoe is nonexistent when we take st talents. A few more issues as well

grim jay
#

I'm actually more concerned about the patch as a whole

#

since multiple sets seem weird/counterintuitive

burnt latch
#

Neltharion P2 adds just didnt spawn on some pulls yesterday

stuff like that is worrysome
