take a break so you don't get depression fighting the worst boss ever made
lol rip
Play 3rd tank and soak everything for your homies
what spec do ya'll find easiest to use on mythic experiments? debating on assassing vs sub vs outlaw. I main sub but I feel like the mechanics require me to lose a lot of uptime
you'd lose just as much on the other specs
im sorry if I missed a pin somewhere but whats recommended spec for pve noob?
raid or m+
m+
#assassination-faq message play this
but take master assassin instead of exsang
cause exsang's bugged
❤️ ty

sorry friend I'm all tapped out

Crazy
i believe in you oxi
Lucky me I was

reborn as red name
But outlaw has new grand melee

@balmy condor what's the logic of the vanish sepsis rule on nelth?
You use a delayed vanish in opener and then don't have vanish for 2m DM? I don't understand it as worded
im actually glad sin is best now
dwarf doesnt seem that big anymore so can safely race change 
dwarf tho 
You don’t need it for 2nd dm, you have sepsis
Do you miss the second sepsis charge in opener?
No
Hmm
So sepsis garrote, sepsis garrote, vanish garrote in opener. Then at 2 mins you just don't vanish?
Wouldn't it just time out to be up at the same time relative to the 2 min DM that it was in the opener DM?
Since DM and vanish both have a 2minute CD?
Is that for 4set??
No
What
Okay
So you do your opener right
Normally you would hold vanish for 2 min
Yep
When the sepsis comes up again at 1:30
You don’t send it
Because the boss is gonna run
So you hold it for a bit
And you send it then
Not better to just cloak and commit?
When I cloak nelth fractures I'm only losing a second of uptime with sprint and shadowstep.
Yeah but you’re losing a vanish
By sending it you get imp gar for every dm, first two from sepsis, then vanish
You sepsis the first adds
Vanish dm second
You get sepsis back for third add
And then vanish is synced with dm for 6 min
So you get the sepsis gar from the third add on the boss going into p3 as well
After the vanish dm at 6 min you get a sepsis in tier and boss dies
So now, seeing that, what would you suggest we hold that vanish for
You already have every add, every dm covered
Only thing left to do is just slam it for uptime
Am I wrong with how I think sepsis works, after I hit it shouldn't my next garotte, assuming I don't use any other stealth only ability, be empowered?
you have a 10s window to consume the free stealth ability
if you garrote after that window expires, you'll apply a normal garrote
Ok, cause I was using it for the first time in a while tonight, but my wa want showing it as empowered, in wonder if I can saw ambush glow, and hit that first, using up the free stealth. I'll test that again.
I highly recommend using a separate tracker for sepsis
notter made one: https://wago.io/Lgy47ma7G
Ya I was just thinking that
But if blindside didn't proc naturally, then it would eat the buff I guess.
yea
Thx all
yo, do you guys think its the play to swap to assa on zskarn and maybe later bosses? kinda having a hard time deciding
It’s just as good as the other specs
all of the rogue specs are fine on the later bosses
just pick a flavor of mid that you enjoy
oxi will end up playing outlaw by the time sark dies quote me now
best assassination spec is warlock
lol

Demo one trick when
blackvneck rising?
Vneck’s aren’t supposed to rise
blackvneck deepening?
beacon and class trink basically margin of error in sims, which is more rng?
So was the big rogue overhaul that was said a while ago just the aura buff or we got some rework coming still?
Ooo baby I'd like to see that
I bet on it getting delayed
Do you not take Exang anymore?

rogue and bugs a better duo
Warlocks and pi
druids and twitter
The color of the floor and the color of the one shot swirlies 
bruh the fact they changed sarkareth swirlies in P3 from purple to blue on a blue/purple floor really helps my eyes
They also show clearly through black hole now which is a really big deal
And contrast with the hide lines
Guys call me cooked
But blindside procs have me bricked
We we did him on wednsday I kept getting hit by then cause my eyes were trained for purple that i completly ignored the blue 😂
is wowanalyzer for assa good?
it is decent for assa actually but kinda krangled for others
i thought its because you are LAZY smh my head
Super lazy actually
I heard this whispyr guy isn’t only playing world of Warcraft 24/7
He plays like, other games
Quit playing games with my heart
Damn
!whispyrnodamage
dont need to play wow to Check my logs and saying "yeha, 37%rupture uptime is kinda bad"

im kinda confused i got blue parse but wowanalyzer doesnt show any major mistakes
besides not potting cuz fuck pots in a pug hc xd
Bacon crits, sophic procs, externals, might be stuff like that
didnt use beacon, but it could be very bad nelth trinket procs
Might very well be
nelth and beacon are both RNG shit lol
beacon if it crits
nelth if it procs in moments where it actually does something
Yeah, second dm can line ip with third sepsis rather nicely
But if the fight lasts a bit longer you might lose a dm by holding
still unsure if i should keep on going as sub for zskarn and later bosses, assa seems to be pulling ahead ST atm
do you need dmg on golems?
not really anymore
assa a very miniscule better choice then 😄
i barely touch them like send 1 sectec on 2nd and 3rd sets
honestly im tilted by lack of mobility on sub more than anything, like 1 min sprint and 2 steps you can get on assa seem so nice xd
well, sub got rupture spread, assa got mobility, it's very logical move, considering specs themes and histories
we'll get a rework at some point when it does not matter, just gotta wait 😄
love when ion goes and says we dont want to make a choice of throughput and utility cuz theres a right answer and then they send rogue tree being 80% dps
lack of mobility on sub? you can get double step and you have double vanish +ss
not so sure about rework anymore, it could be that the tuning rogue is getting for annulet nerf and ghostly strike etc. is all that was planned
yeha sure, vanish strike, the best mobility tool

all at the cost of dmg, a tradeoff assa doesnt really face
sub mobility in DF is abysall
a tradeoff nobody should face even
I mean it's something
you know what else's something? shiv dmg buff
i more often find myself using vanish for mobility than dmg outside of the opener
if beacon and class trinket are simming basically within margin, which one would you go with?
Beacon probably
When do we start getting a whole spark a week
I have 417 toxic boots and wanna make them big
Bacon is nice but I hate the casttime.
is there a delay when it does it's damage after the cast? or is it immediately after the cast?
the visual effect psychs me out
Short delay yeah
what do we drop exsang for on st? just ma?
Standard for most bosses

It can vary slightly depending on kill times
Like some play 3pt zoldyck on rashok
Would drop shrouded for it
do they?
I’m on mobile so wcl is bad but I think that was a fairly common thing to do for that fight time
That was when we thought exsang was still working properly
Whispyr and notter 
I swear he was cooking and running sims specific for that fight time
I found the message about the reasoning
“Timing suck execute good”

I’ll change my statement from most to some lol

I wonder if the timing was bad for sepsis where 3rd zoldyck > ss because of less improved garrote uptime
Idk maybe I’m cooking
“You get 4min dm right when execute hits”
Just kill the boss bro
Dude acts like I even played rogue in sod 
@blazing jewel are you need getting the full 4th dm in?
What
Are we talking about rashok?
Kinda
More so about kill times and dropping ss for 3pt zoldyck
I want to sim now but I’m not at my pc 
How many sub 5% wipes did consequence have?


he talking mad shit for a guy with 200+ wipes on sark
public log rn
At least we aren’t an unnamed guild at 300
It’s okay I’ll get there soon enough

coms were more pumped killing it during enrage cast than raz kill xd
Why did they let Jonathan Newsham design Zskarn

Dude can’t put shapes together and watched his boss become a target dummy poggers
Who thought the changes after the cheese nerf was good
they gotta nerf it this week right?? right>???
its actually awful
think we start with them next week
Like people didn’t cheese it because it was fun
They cheesed it because the fight was ass
Are you sin pilled for reclear or staying sub
sub
I think making it 1 random trap instead of two is a likely nerf
fight will be still ass
Yep
They need to just turn it into a standard patchwerk sim
Boss doesn’t do anything
Let people move on
Just delete all the mechanics
It’s the gatekeeper of the mythic bomb trinket
It’s such a hard check towards the end
Nah I never killed the boss and it’s in my loot pool
And we lack consistency
Some pulls the clears are peachy keen and every one lives… others people bleed out
I’ll wait until 12.0 to solo it
Jokes on you I already have arthritis in my left hand
It runs in my family
Golf isn’t very friendly to your bones and joints
Soon brother
Esp when you live in cold climates
this just makes me sad
Someone hated him and wanted to set him up for failure to get fired. that's the only explanation
You win some you lose some 
same thing happend on 1st boss, Rashok
I crit every part of an opener last night
I don’t know what trinket to run on sin because I feel like beacon is visibly tilting from crit or no crit but class trinket would tilt me when I look at my logs
They are pretty even
Tank damage ✅
Dice are fine
is the current sepsis opener w/o exsang up-to-date in #assassination-faq ?
Get good procs with a dogshit trinket like raidhorn so that people come in here asking if raidhorn is bis now 
Imagine thinking I didn’t vendor that trinket the day I got it
2 weeks of gametime left
Evil
I need this case to settle so I can get paid and fly to Europe
Can’t play wow if I’m in Europe

Then how am i doing it? Checkmate
You're just a baby
You don’t live across an ocean
You live in Europe

I’m gonna show up in Denmark and knock on @earnest remnant ‘s door

Stealthi in sub “don’t teach them math” I can’t 
It never turns out good
I remember in tech school we had to learn electron theory and some dude saw the basic picture of an atom and said fuck this and walked out for a day
i geared my sub, and i have 0% haste. Is it possible to play asas on the same stats or do i need some sort of baseline haste?
in raid^
Aite, I always find my self running out of energy though
Am I playing it wrong or am I just meant to have barely any energy outside of my thistle tea

You are not meant to use an ability every single global no
Sin is pretty energy starved by default compared to the other 2
^^
Kk, and is it right playing sepsis now instead of bone spike
during dm and execute is the only time you’re pretty much not starved 
yes
Sepsis op!
Yes sepsis great
We love sepsis
I enjoy the sin cooking in here first and foremost
+1
not george?
I can have multiple
Wait, you can have items from Bosses you never killed in vault?
I thought i need to have at least 1 kill on the boss to unlock for vault
Only tier @frozen jasper
he killed bosses after it
Wrong
That’s how it worked in season 1. People abused the shit out of it for eggnogs, icons, torches and stuff
Now whenever you kill a boss, it also unlocks vault loot for any previous boss
???
If you roll into mythic and kill magmorax you unlock loot from every boss prior
They changed it this tier
yeah i thought he meant like any boss
So technically you can buy Sark and farm any piece of loot on that difficulty from vault
Wow didn’t know
Ugly ass son
Shut your lips before I shut them with mine
Woah are you qualified to handle that kind of explosives??
Yes

hey fellas I dont see that they mention but when should I use trinket in the opener?
or do I use it after im finished w opener?
depends what trinket youre talking about
beacon
you can get your bleeds up -> beacon -> Dm, or if you play bomb + beacon you can use beacon after opener
gar-snd-er-rupture-beacon-sepsis-dm-shiv gogogogo
Hey guys, can anyone help me with this?
Following this priority, step 4 says to envenom for Poison bomb. would i be spamming envenom then basically all the time ( with cp ofc ) as its 4th priority and i can always gamble for poison bombs
It's ambigous to a certain degree when to use envenom or CT.
Basically:
Are targets stacked on top of eachother? Envenom
Are targets Spread / is CT bleed about to run out? CT
The AoE for poison bomb is pretty small
Yeah, sorry if i didnt phrase my question correctly. but its not about CT. Its basically anything after 4. Because this is not a list step by step this is a priority. So me being able to do Priority 4 Again and Again and Again would have me ignoring anything after 4
Due to the constraints of wowheads requests when making the rotations page, it’s impossible to list out things in a priority from top to bottom
That makes sense. Thank you!
You’re correct that 4 is a “dump” for cp repeatedly, but the stuff below should be seen as more situational/cooldown related things while the above is rotational
Kinda how that’s laid out
I agree it’s confusing though
Well you cleared up the confusion, thanks again 🙂
That entire page is kinda dogshit because of the tool if I’m being honest
Rotation page is a pain to maintain and has very little functionality
Kinda just is what it is
Well you made the best of it probably
some additional questions to the rotation / priority. I just noticed that even in a heavy mutli target group fan of knives sometimes only generates 1 combo point. So when to use multilate and when use fan of knives?
Also for me it feels like youre using ambush really rarely because you optimaly want to use empowered garrote to as many targets as you can in the 3 secs after stealth when you dont have IC up.
Is there a way to sim for target situations like sarkareth where sometimes there are adds and sometimes there isn't. If there isn't is there a way to know which trinket is best or just stick with the decent trinkets and you are fine
there is a way, but its not really easy if youre not really into simc stuff. for a normal person like myself just stick to the decent trinkets you would play anyway
And if you’re not a normal person you stick to the trinkets you would play anyway too
Because adds aren’t your problem
You play rogue
Not warrior
So toxic thorn>slimy boots? I thought toxic thorn was oversimming
not anymore, they sim correctly now
Any reason the opener in the faq mutilates after SnD instead of using Echoing Reprimand?
both is fine, ER slighty better but not enough to edit faq pictures again
the ER after snd is like super new
like in the last 10 days new
this would be the optimal usage, get dots up -> beacon -> sepsis -> dm
some people use beacon on pull and vanish but not a gain, just a convenience
so the picture does is perfectly right
okay perfect ty 🙂
@proper tapir I just realized your m+ doesn't have iron wire. you are dead to me 
That's what i use
shun him
SHUN HIM
Firstly, Iron wire should be baseline wtf blizz, also yeah just drop something for it, VR is a good choice
I mean... I did include tests with it. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4NYBQgedaA3wQg6wEY4YPE
Maybe that gets me unshuned but just 24 hours with no emojis or something?
Can sin play with sub gear? I.e. full crit vers or crit mast
I like iron wire because it confuses people. They expect mobs to start casting after a certain point and then it’s delayed and their brain doesn’t work
Yeah, you just gotta put the buttons on your bars and hit them - gear doesn't change that
We’re crit mast gamers anyway
Yeah
Ty
Guys, is there a known bug with Leeching poison? My logs show 0 leech healing even though Im 100% sure I had leathal poisons on (dmg is in the logs) and Leeching Poison too (since I used tea) on a M Kazzara fight
You have to reapply poisons every time you zone in anywhere
pretty sure I did but its a known bug then?
Yes
also, previous pulls had the leech healing
just checked
maybe its when I went out to buy runes hmmmm
where do i decrease the size of this WA as a whole https://wago.io/LuxthosRogueDragonflight
Regarding echoing reprimand and anima charged combo points, is there a general ruleset for this, like we should or should not be using it for rupture
and is that just sent on CD after opener
Thanks
@quartz kraken if you type /wa, then click on Luxthos, the right side of the add on should reveal a bunch of tabs. I believe in the first tab there's a slider, try changing it to like 0.8 and see if you like it
And go from there
Also, for the sepsis opener, for the initial sepsis stealth garrote after hitting ER-> Envenom do we wait for that to hit pandemic
or do we just hit it right away and sac a few seconds
damn son ty
is instant poison default lethal?
Big no default poison is deadly poison and then amplifying is your other lethal poison
alright, here it says insta is default https://www.wowhead.com/de/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/abilities-talents-pve-dps
you dont, its just the passive you get at lvl 1. at row 1 in the spec tree you get deathly and you use that always
you never use instant as an poison
can you use 2 lethal poisons? thought its 1 lethal and 1 other one
It is only under passive abilities 
If you have DTB you use two lethal
You’d never use instant
its deathly (always) + amp if you use dtb
whats dtb again?
oh now i see, its a talent deep into the tree
I dont know about wowhead but should be correct since the guy who did this guide is one of the best sin players I know at least
you can find all the abbreviations in the #assassination-faq
thats way better than the wow guide, not just the abbreviations
ty
Can someone tell me why the fuck is stormeaters boon still a relevant choice in aoe
faq and pins are always good resources
Uncapped trinket

Yeah but it's good at 5 targets
with DTB i would use Amp and Deadly as lethal, atrophic and numbing as non lethal?
Uncapped and overtuned 
Yes

atrophic or numbing
can't have both sadly
athropic + crippling (you cant use numbing + atrophic because its a choice node)
oh true

Just to be clear, the rule is use charged points with the regular finisher rule. Some folks get confused by SnD usage with charged points, SnD doesn't consume charged points.
Do you mean ER - > rupture?
just bring 2 rogues
hey guys, i'm trying out sin this expansion and i've got a question concerning the aoe rotation, i read the guides but couldn't really find an answer for my question; i saw an assassin rogue simply spam crimson tempest like it was black powder, in aoe situations is that better than casting envenom over and over after applying the empowered garrote and rupture on everyone
now i know sin hasn't really been that good in aoe ever, but im simply curious how i can at least make it work in some dungeons
short answer: doesn't matter, as long as your bleeds are rolling, you have slice and dice up, you can spam crimson tempest, or spam envenom to fish for poison bomb procs
that's something i need to get into the habit of, i'm so used to playing sub and never really worrying about reapplying my SnD
i find myself not activating it at all on sin since i dont get it passively
you mostly only have to press snd once, after that envenom extends the duration of snd with the cttc (talent)
yeah, i should get into the habit of it
yeah you press S&D even less on sin than sub. and as mentioned it's not super important in AoE which finisher you use. if crimson tempest is already up on everything with enough duration, then i like using envenom for funnel and keeping up the envenom buff, and that helps with S&D
i think optimally it's been said envenom for poison bomb is better during 4 set buff
in most dungeons you press it once
except if you have 40sec+ downtimes bettwen fights cus people died and need to run
(delete SnD btw)
tru
What are we using to sim right now, because last week when I ran a droptimizer it told me Nelth trinket was an upgrade. Now that I have it, it’s telling me not to use it.
I gotta be doing something wrong
And I mean are we using nightly or weekly
Nightly
had a guy last week tell me "sims don't play the game, I do"
Yea ig I blue parsed mythic 😃😃😃
It’s not that I’m not trusting it, I’m just seeing two separate things and it’s hurting my brain (also it’s not hard to hurt my brain)
could be you changed gear or simmed differently idk
or it's so close to not being an upgrade that it's within margin
was he defending my AP build? Not even i could argue why i took MA
i see, a fellow
enjoyer

nah
based
I mean, I half agree... Sims don't play the game, my weakauras do
wait
wa's working on echo?
thought you need to do some cringe macro shit for the private aura thingy
Its some cringe WA shit
Where it wont tell you what to do, but give you a list where it shows all of the people with the debuff and you have to manually count which number in the list you are
Instead of the WA telling you what number you are
The sepsis buff is not consumed by blindside procs, but they will be consumed by regular ambush casts. If you're using a stealth bar (or some sort of macro) to turn your mutilate into ambush, you need to get rid of it. >> During my sepis I just can't click on my ambush that are blindsided...
so i use mutilate instead...
I'm starting to think taking cloak from the vault wasn't worth it. The stamina loss is harsh 
i'm dying when i shouldn't
what?
When I can use a stealth abitlity from sepsis and I got a blindside proc, I just can't click on ambush, it won't let me, until I use garrot. (happens a lot when i wait for the 2nd empowered garrot). is it normal ?
so I use mutilate instead
nothing happen
i played it on m sarkareth without any issues
HUH?
gonna retry now on dummy
you have a blindside proc
not so great in m+ against bleeds
no ok fuck me
forget it
it work just fine 🙂
the spell wasn't on the sthealth bar...
2 weeks that I was struggling with this...
elusiveness, CV and HP
easy pz
or dwarf it x)
Yes
That’s a cursed emote
its how I feel fr.
its not that bad
for me its .4%
Yeah but it's .4% more damage
Sporecloak?
Cringe, healing is the healers job.
Toxin thorn boots?
More damage
guess what now buddy
?

Beautiful.
im curious, is there a reason in the non exsang opener that we dont ER rupture into sepsis deathmark?
Guess I've played exsang so long now it feels weird not to
Doesn’t make a difference really
The er with shiv can give you an extra envenom sometimes
But it’s not really relevant
I shall absorb this knowledge. Thank you.
Ty. I made them for a friend.
My favorite is still the couple days where a sepsis garrote background change in the sims cause exsang openers to spam rupture for 30 seconds before casting exsang dm
And it only being -2.2%

amazing, truly amazing.
I feel the same way playing my dumb shadow priest alt except I get to do 300% more damage in dungeons with less effort. Actually feels awful. I stay loyal to the rogue though.
so how do i sin on sark in heroic? ive only ever cleared it on sub
feel like timmings would be weird
sepsis for when he disappears after adds?
For after intermission
When he disappears it’s for like 3-4 seconds and you step back
No reason to care about that
im holding sepsis for after the very first intermession
after glittering
we phase it quick there
and then i come out with dm and sepsis up
do i just do the opener sequence?
where would vanish fit into that
you would vanish in p1
ah as pin says
and then since im already holding when i get up itll be up for second dm
sepsis garrote fade= when the second sepsis garrote is in pandemic right?
yeh
I like letting it expire and then double garroting
which is technically worse
but my brain has the feel good juice when I do it
if rl wants me to run wound poison
and I'm an ape
which posion do i drop
Wait what...
I can only imagine it's for zaqali when the warlord heals up but there are like 5 different specs that bring better versions of that effect
I’m in bed sorry can’t sim. Are the toxic sexy sneakers a lot@better than the slimy skechers?
Probably because people aren't dealing with the rocks
on sark
can't help
no never
well p3 they have the buff and you can't get rid of it, but still
since it woud be too mcuh loss as sin
cant help? as in it doesnt do something on adds?
Is this mythic or heroic sark
p3 adds heal and there are no blossom to remove the buff, you just dps through it
Can have any sort of knockback to push them into the puddles
And they will get insta killed
The problem isn’t the adds heal it’s probably your raid isn’t hitting them enough
I honestly didn’t even know they healed so just
Go sub and black powder them to death?
got sark cloak
You just take wound poison
It's like 0.4% DPS loss
Oh noo
HUH?
Oh sorry thought this was sub channel
Yeah on assa it blows
Sub my instant poison does like 500k dmg while wound poison does 300k
Oh noo
I actually take wound poison for p3 prog on mythic sark, maybe when people get better I drop it
Worth doing as assa as well until people get used to it
Just temporary for prog
never once went wound
p3 adds gets blown the fuck up
you've said a lot of fried takes over the last 3 years
but I'm impressed
this one is actually outdoing the others
by a lot
Idk seemed worth on our prog to see more of p3
its worth inting your damage to "see more of p3"?
I'm getting a headache
All the adds not dying due to losing people from p2-p3 transition, wound poison made it way more consistent and we got to 3rd black hole a couple times after starting running it
Losing some boss dam to reduce pullcount and then swapping at the end seems worth
if they're not dying because you're losing people
and you need wound poison for them to die
what benefit are you getting from "seeing more of p3"
with half the raid alive
meaning half the raid isn't actually "seeing" more of the phase
Practicing and understanding mechanics
if you're floor pov how are you practicing anything
esp on that boss when if someone gets too many stacks and goes down
you pretty much wiped the group
even with like 5 people dying to p2-p3 transition the adds got blown up in just a few sec
Idk ur group pads way more than mine
I was also able to run black powder on neltharion as a result
so many classes come out with cds
But on sark it's not working out
and they do passive cleave
just went to check
first add set with everybody alive tho
lived for 11 sec
which is just enhance + 2x fury and evoker in cds
Let me help you out
Wound poison…?
Why don’t you just bait the blossoms correctly

full charged evoker breath go brrrr
If adds are the issue an not boss damage, might as well take Crimson tempest 
is toxic slimy patched rn in sims?
both boots are simming fine
ty
only thing is toxic thorn doesn't take into account you using crimson vial
which will eat damage procs
I'm not entirely sure, I know leech didn't proc it
aight, ty.
if im dotting adds on zskarn for energy
do i just get a rupture out? or is garrote better
just throw a rupture out
they die real fast
no point hitting it with a garrote if its gonna die that quick
yeh
since its for energy and not dam
i always find myself finishing fights trying to waste tea since i horde it too much
need to be sending tea a bit more
I'd probably consider 3cp as well
boss will be at like 10% and ill be like shit got a tea charge and one coming off cd soon
dude holy fucking shit
dotting those adds is like a free tea
96 parce
ill take it
Wait is rupturing for energy in fights like something that will net you non negligible damage
it is technically better, yes
But it's not gonna bring you from a 60 parse to an 80?
you can get 99s on zskarn by just tunneling boss, its more of a min max
def not
it's gonna take you from a 97 to a 98
Hey how is Assass rogue feeling with recent damage buff?

How is realizing half of the kit is bugged feeling ?
Hi, is anybody already replace onyx annulet with normal 447 ring? crit haste is used? I have 10%
Sim says that I should not replace it, better to craft crit/mastery ring to replace the other one.
Or even I want to replace onyx, better to craft Haste/Crit.
I wish I never knew what a sim is!!!!
Feels like as long as you are ok with either pretty good ST or kinda borderline passable AOE, but never both at the same time, you can make it work

I replaced mine with a haste/mast 447 craft
but it really depends on your gear
Thank you for the answer. It is difficult to have similar weight of stats :/
Will try to have crit haste 👍
you can do gear compare on raidbots before you get it crafted to see which stats, gems and enchants to get
hey! just wondering what i should be crafting along with my toxic boots? cant find what item to craft
Toxified armor patch on either chest (if you have 4-set in other slots + only want to play assa), belt or bracers (if you want to multispec)
thank you!
Quick question: if Fragment is oversimming 18% I could just lower its ilevel. Down to roughly which ilvl would I have to sim a 437 fragment?
Thanks, will do.

Hi, I have a somewhat stupid question, is it worth to go tauren for sin rogue in raid? or it isn't that much net gain over blood elf? thanks in advance
Having cool transmog is the biggest % gain you can have. Changing race is worthless (unless you are like top 0.1% of the playerbase)
Usually racial abilities are much more impactful in raid than the 1% dps at most
Purely for passive - nah
Dwarf isn’t far behind and has stoneform which is usually more impactful than Tauren
The only races I’d consider worth rerolling to performance-wise are Dwarf (any of them), Nelf, Orc (mainly for PvP). Everything else is like less than 1% difference (easily negated by gear diff, procs, uptime, etc)
rock and stone moment
belf is not even good for almost 8years now, yet elf stans still say its a great thing
lmao
+race doesnt matter

Edited that in, thank you
Dwarfs stone form has some good uses that’s why I like to be dwarf
That’s what deviate delight is for
I like your big words but I don't know what that is
My rogue is dark iron purely for mole machine
ye, its just funny cus so many people always say "omg i go belf cus the are strong!!!" when belf is not even a strong option, they just wanna be a generic fuck elf 
but yeha
racials dont matter
and are cringe anyway
My only elf is a DH (because no other option)
Vupla master race
Yet like half of alliance chars are one of the dwarf variants because they look cool af
Dwarf. 💤
Wish dranei got snappier animations. Last time I messed with them they where garbage.
They’re very new to rogue craft, give them some time to learn the moves
Undead best racial for lvling, first i beat them, then i eat them
racials don't matter.
Yeah ok, can't hear you over my 8 extra bag slots and free place a hearth.


racials dont matter until you play night elf, raid oce times and have a haste buff for sub. Basically like having no racial at all
Melding mechanics in keys 
ngl
dps-wise its irrelevant even in top 0.1%
that would be fucked up
Why??
why would a world in which half of the people playing a faction and thinking that dwarfs look cool af not be fucked up ?
They are playing for stoneform smh
Oh, me blunder
My alli chars
Not all of them
But dwarf is an unironically solid race to pick in both lore, transmogs, visuals and performance
mate
that thing is set to "always day" in dungeons/raids
just saying
thats how IMPORTANT racials are
people dont even know how they work 
I tbh dont even play a shaman bcs the coolest alliance race for that would be dwarf
and I dont even like dwarf
so only the crossfaction stuff "recently" got me thinking about playing a shaman alt 
!Exsanguinate
Not even Kul Tirans??
did they fix the Exsanguinate bug yet? Or is it still not worth picking it up?
Still not worth it
Still not fixed
@deft flicker what do you play instead of it? Most players in high keys still just use it
Master Assassin, so you can grab Iron Wire
The discovery is rather new + some probably find Exsang useful to get 4-piece active faster
what about fatal concotion and flying daggers?
okay thanks a lot!
tbh human on something like senarth was preety nice
or there are bunch of mechanics if you fuck up you get stunned
if you got stunned during senarth
wtf are you doing

Just call for bop/freedom instead of moving 🙂
learning pug rule #1 again
never invite a prot paladin
they all suck
fotm apes that dont know what they are doing
DH tank is probably next up on the list, seeing how popular its becoming
doesnt he stun p3 random people. only other thing i can think off is tauren for raza but racials are niche and they should be
I would say your positioning is off and should look at the tank more 
I sometimes took a stun to squeeze in more dmg if I had stacks bcs someone was too stupid for his webs
so I human racial'ed that aswell
You see just play feral and if you got stacks, you transform to bear and back to cat
No more stacks
That sure is nice but I don’t think you’d reroll human specifically for that
I like Arcane Torrent in M+, removes a lot of annoying stuff like spikes on those basiliks in legacy, shields in legacy/vortex, shock troopers buff in halls

As the 21st best sub rogue on magmorax normal I agree
So ...is 'Shadowflame Tempered Armor Patch' BiS for both embellishments? ...I have been trying BiS sims and boots+patch seem to be lower in dps
It’s toxic patch
Just to be sure.. As sin rogue?
yeah
Like 2 of those?
1.7% dps loss according to sims
There is no way toxic thorn boots+toxic patch sims 1.7% less than 2x shadowflame

Unfortunately from my experience I had to gear compare sim it unless I already had the pieces in my inventory
Droptimizer was giving me weird results lol
Hmm
question, im new to assassination rogue. do we ever spam tempest at a certain mob density? or just keep the bleed up and envenom
The first time I see heavy movement being used haha
sad but true
Heavy movement 
Its even less with light movement ... I wonder if its because of using 2x 'Shadowflame Tempered Armor Patch'.
Actually there is no dps gain ...because I'm comparing 428 boots vs 437 ... so its about the same damage to use 2x 'Shadowflame Tempered Armor Patch' than Boots+toxic patch according to this simulation
anyone know whats the stats weight on M+ and Raid for assas? (round about ~)
iirc raid: crit > mast >= haste > vers
m+: crit > mast > vers > haste (roundabout). but just sim what you have and take the highest number
Keep both up as best as possible, and then spamming either only really has a noticable difference if the pull is weirdly spaced. Mobs moving a lot/not stacked yet? CT. Otherwise both get you similar punch, but envenom is easier to spam and not worry about upkeep on to me
Am I stupid? Where does the lurking specter armwraps come from?
The wrist slot for the assassination sim
Catalyst
ahhhhh ok thanks
Any way to tell the exact secondary stat numbers on the sim?
Raw HTML report, maybe
Im hard geared for sub and we arent reclearing heroic anymore, so trying to see how close I can get to the stats with dungeon gear
why would you go through that effort
If you're geared for sub you're probably geared well enough for sin
General Rotation:
All finishers should be used at max-1 combo points. This means 4+ (max of 5) without Deeper Stratagem, and 5+ (max of 6) with Deeper Stratagem.
sometimes i happen to have 4 CP and can use a finisher, but what do i do when i have 3 CP? use one more mutilate?
Mutilate or Fan depending on target count
You would mutilate on 4 as well
@balmy condor do you think having access to 7 cp on a regular basis would be good for assassins??
would not really change anything tbh
make mfd great again 
For what purpose
lol, fuck no
Idk other specs seem to have fun with an extra cp, wonder if it’d be a welcome thing here as well

and sub/outlaw have more CP flooding, so they dont even care gameplay wise
imagine mfd sepsis and exsang in the same build
sub casualy getting 10cp+ from a single stealth shadowstrike during shadowblades
kekw
I don’t see how needing to mut 1 more time depending on crit rng would be more fun
Or really how it would do anything whatsoever
but why does it say finisher with max CP - 1
Because that’s the threshold
You generate until that point
but i would overcap then when my max is 5 CP no?
We play with deeper strat everywhere
oh ok didnt know that













a thing
