gusty mirage
#

if I can get nick of time next week + sark dagger

#

I can play assassination and not care

#

cause then it's within 2kish dps

#

and I can stomach that

#

because sub don't make no damn sense man

#

esp 6s dance sub

velvet haven
#

I just cannot wrap my hand around sub outside of making big secret tech

gusty mirage
#

I think you could pick it up quicker than you think

#

but if you're enjoying assassination fuck it

#

#

Yeah we have WoWA right now

#

They’re not

#

Highly recommend running that through wowa

#

If you need help beyond that

#

I can make a thread

#

But I’m Bedgers 0 brain cells

#

So it may be morning before you get a response

random quarry
#

I just want to know if i should use envenom in aoe if i have the 4pc buff

#

this other rogues damage breakdown is very different from mine

spice spire
#

Oh that’s a dungeon review

velvet haven
#

I've never used wow analyzer but it would seem post stepsis im very bad at vanishing xd

random quarry
#

ok so question since deathmark doubles ddots i use it then vanish and reapply garrote and rupture since 2pc makes rupture deal extra nature damage do i then reapply rupture with the 4pc buff?

spice spire
#

No

random quarry
#

does a new rupture overwrite the double rupture from deathmark?

spice spire
#

It doubles all things previous and current

#

And once it falls, it falls

random quarry
#

oh previous dots too?

runic hinge
#

Yes

spice spire
#

Have to use some brain for that one

#

Vanish will look worse

velvet haven
#

post sepsis existing

spice spire
#

Ye

#

You’ll also (probably?) miss a shiv

velvet haven
#

does feel like idk good windows unless like p3 transition on sark after gate to multi dot ads

spice spire
#

And there was one other thing that was funky

velvet haven
#

my sark kill

#

it would seem i didn't click vanish until P3 gate

#

XD

spice spire
#

Oh no

#

There were a lot of oopsie there

#

Happens

#

Kill is a kill tho

velvet haven
#

im sure there is but im giga tired as well

#

ive never really looked into what i can fix

#

just kinda stabbed things

spice spire
#

Few bad tea usages

#

Missed an er

#

Few early envenom casts

velvet haven
#

i've been teaing for mastery for too long

#

it was ok early to do that in kingsbane

#

but so much worse not ig

#

i was def playing worse since we were over time as well so ig not fully indicitive but it does show how bad my tea has been

#

ive been teaing in DM opener for mastery

spice spire
#

Teaing in opener is thumbsup

#

Gets it on cd, and if you lust on pull you’d hold for almost a minute before you ran out of energy anyway

velvet haven
#

oic

spice spire
#

It’s later in the fight when you tea at full energy that’s pretty rough

velvet haven
#

ic

#

those final 4 envenoms XD

#

was def "boss is 1% keep clicking buttons"

spice spire
#

Eh like I said

#

Addressing the stuff and playing better is long term and rekill stuff

#

yo how does death mark work exactly

#

if i have garrote and rupture already on is that ok?

#

or do i need to apply it after using deathmark

deft flicker
light warren
#

ok cool

#

and i use exsanguinate with deathmark on bosses?

deft flicker
#

Nah, exsanguinate is currently working weird and not worth talenting into

light warren
#

oh

royal lantern
#

best bug ever

deft flicker
#

Opener pictures in FAQ might still show it just as a “if you really want to use it - here’s where you do it”

blazing jewel
#

could have been good on sark Susge

#

it "should" have snapshotted haste

random quarry
#

So what’s the problem with it right now?

clever sapphire
#

There is no problem with exsang, its just how it should be, nonexistent

blazing jewel

dead

royal lantern
#

and its a good thing

keen spruce
#

shoulda listened to papa shmeeps in sesaon 1

#

i felt it in my plums

#

and I was right all along

deft flicker
#

So you’re kind of getting 1.5 DoTs instead of 2

random quarry
#

What’s the rule of thumb with shiv charges?

keen spruce
#

don't let them cap

#

have a charge or two for deathmark

#

have one for any sepsis garrote in between deathmarks

#

normally pretty safe to just dump 2 in your opener

#

then keep one in the chamber until your next deathmark

#

then dump two

#

repeat

#

try to dump the rest at the end of the fight

#

prio 1: never cap shiv charges
prio 2: shiv with deathmark
prio 3: shiv with sepsis/garrote
prio 4: don't end boss with charges

random quarry
#

Okay thank you

blazing jewel
#

prio 5: don’t tell people you’re playing sin

keen spruce

random quarry
#

Is it really as bad as people say?

blazing jewel
#

No

#

May I ask a couple of Mythic+ questions?

  1. In a large pull, I see in the FAQ it says to use Crimson Tempest to spend points (6+). Under that, to use Envenom. I just wondered why on Envenom because I rarely get the Poison Bomb?
  2. How should I best be using Thistle Tea? I find if I don't go into a boss with 2, I'm energy starved. During pack pulls should I avoid using them?
deft flicker
blazing jewel
#

Most specs are pretty balanced right now

#

It’s mostly the outliers at the top

#

Like the 4-5 op

#

Rest are fairly close

random quarry
blazing jewel
#

Poison bomb aoe is tiny so it’s hard to get full value in a large pull

What about tea's? You think worth avoiding using on run up to bosses?

# marble cedar May I ask a couple of Mythic+ questions? 1. In a large pull, I see in the FAQ ...
  1. addendum to my words above, but if you're not pulling big, it's probably because there's something that's important and needs to die so you don't really want to sit there and CT spam. On top of that, envenom is always the same damage, regardless of the targets, and CT is not. CT on 2 targets is 2x the damage of single target CT. Envenom on 2 targets is still Envenom. So you're just doing more damage with envenom at a certain point in cleave. You always want to maintain the dot on CT though
  2. if you're going to over-cap on charges in aoe you can send it with your carnage dots for a bit extra damage, but generally it's just a "if I need energy I drink" situation. If you're starving on bosses in m+ that's because the spec is slow, not because you're playing wrong

10.2

broken stump
#

fuck

clever sapphire
#

10.1.7 wont bring anything new anyways, atleast content wise

#

so doesnt matter that we wont get the rework there

balmy condor
#

yeh the most issues you'd have is like

#

changes at the season/raid start

#

and then just mad scramble tuning to try and iron it out

#

but that's no big deal tbh

clever sapphire
#

if that happens i can have an excuse that my spec just got reworked and i still didnt master all them talents

#

easy excuse for bad logs

balmy condor
#

I doubt Assassination is going to change to an extent where you just don’t know what you’re doing anymore

#

It’s not a Paladin rework or anything

clever sapphire
#

probably not, but that wont stop me from saying it as an excuse to anyone who has no idea about rogue

balmy condor
#

True

clever sapphire
#

but ye knowing you, there will be top sims and openers/playstyles already the day the patchnotes hit

#

and since im an EU player, i will have 1 day to look at the NA rogues play

clever sapphire

i dont wanna farm another annulet

#

just so it stays BiS until another .5 patch comes out

It’s not an annulet

litearlly normal armor options is all they need, i really dont fucking know why they refuse to do it

"clipping would be bad"

YEHA BECAUSE WOW HAS NO CLIPPING ON EVERY RACE THAT IS NOT MALE HUMAN RIGHT???

every elf/vulpera has their ears poking out of head pieces, all the hunch strechting on troll/orc/undead/tauren/worgen, dwarfs have their beards poking trought their helmets and chest pieces

#

but suddenly clipping would be a problem THERE right? kekdog

#

like hell

#

belf/worgen/tauren/dwarf heritage armor has clipping

#

armor made for that 1race alone

Aren’t worgen just humans??

At least model-wise

man, atleast people that play human to pretend they are Special

its funny tbh, people play a fantasy game

#

you can be a talking cow, a furry, a toaster, a panda, a dragon that looks like a imp

#

and everyone is playing the most human-like races

royal lantern
#

atleast wow humans are interesting

#

cus they have an actual culture/cool background

#

and not the "HUMANS ARE THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND A YOUNG RACE!!!!" that 99% of fantasy does, and thats it

#

the "generic as hell" trophy is belf

vestal wren
#

tbh blizz is also sleeping on races

#

give me the snake people

#

let me play the tuskarr

royal lantern

#

why is naga not a playable race

#

we got multiple humans and elfes instead

not having sneks is pretty criminal

#

naga, or the fish people in nazjatar

the hozen for example

#

junyu was a fun race

"you looking at me?"

keen spruce
#

Ogre?!

#

why tf no ogre

#

we could play them in wc2 ffs

#

and instead they gave us fuckin fat humans and robo gnomes

vestal wren
#

my point is, we have a lot of interessting non human races in the game

#

that we can't play

keen spruce
#

and crispy dwarves

vestal wren

while we have many re-skins of elf or humans

#

yup

Its a pretty good boss in theory, but you pretty do nothing as melee so youre just waiting for your other members to figure it out

easier yes

I meant what’s your pull count now

#

Yeah sorry

cerulean nest
#

around 100

Ah ok

#

We took about 75 pulls for zsakarn tho

So I imagine we’ll take a while on this

same as us I think

nah you'll be fine. you'll wipe quick in p1 a lot

we had one that just put a repeating say message over the heads of the group when it was their turn

  2. Neltharion's Call to Suffering
  3. Beacon to the Beyond
  4. Irideus Fragment
  5. Ominous Chromatic Essence

though bloodmallet says:

  1. DFBD
  2. essence
  3. neltharions

what can I trust? 😄

All right boys, gf and I hit 2100. 400 rating to go before we hit the next achievement, right?

#

What's the easiest mythic to help pad our score?

#

(Also probably doing Uldamann at a key higher than +12 would help)

clever sapphire

#

I think Brackenhide we have a timed 18 and Freehold we have a not-timed 18, so Freehold might be the one to tackle

#

Freehold also has the best music by far

#

So that counts for something

you play with music? O.o

#

what about nl?

thick sail
#

I think that's high enough for 2500

#

I think NL we have a 17 timed

#

So maybe we'll try an 18 NL, an 18 Freehold, and obviously we have to get our 12 Uldamann up lmao

sharp falcon
#

yeah that part is super unintuitive. Though I wonder how many like the clever min-max

oak sky
#

Dislike, the idea of bleeds speeding up is actually pretty appealing, but the reality is sort of a clunky mess. Setting up before a button is sort of a cool idea, but it forces us to double cast multiple bleeds which is super awkward, especially since they don't do much up front damage. It almost feels like a waste imo. I think the 9.2 tier set was slightly better since it placed the refreshes in a window rather than a single instance of reduction. Tho tbh that also promoted a lot of other weird shit with snapshotting and ct

#

I think a different offering would be my choice, or a different way of speeding up bleeds :p

slim hamlet
#

This isn't really directly exsang I guess, but I will say that now we don't play with exsang because it is bugged, sitting on vanish for 2 minutes until 2nd deathmark feels much worse to me, than having to press the double ruptures and garrotes for exsang ever did.

oak sky
#

Yeah not a huge fan of sepsis either but its sort of whatever

slim hamlet
#

tbh if it wasn't for sepsis right now, the spec would feel empty without exsang too imo

#

just smack everything on cd

spice surge
#

I think the concept of speeding up your bleeds feels cool but theres something odd about it making the bleeds shorter overall. Like when you vanish garrote only to make them shorter? Not to mention being able to grief your deathmark and make it shorter

slim hamlet
#

Yea a lot of people been here confused why its bad to exsang deathmark, not that clear

spice surge
#

But in previous expansions (namely bfa) when garrote did a bootloads of damage it did feel cool to press exsang and have a "let it rip" feeling imo

oak sky
#

Big number good 🥱

slim hamlet
#

^

#

This is giga guess, but I am guessing exsang also makes it harder to balance us, since you would suddenly have giga omega burst if the bleeds were buffed a little bit

spice surge
#

I think having the bleeds tick faster without actually reducing the duration would remove a lot of the jank, but it would also significantly buff it so kekman

slim hamlet
#

make it 6 min cd starege

#

tbh exsang aint the worst thing in the world for raid, but it being good enough (when not bugged) to take in m+ is rough

craggy oak
#

fan of snapshotting in general, none bugged, none 3 min version of exang would be great, interaction with DM kinda rough

spice surge
# oak sky Big number good 🥱

More like I prefer to speed up the bleeds for damage rather than getting faster energy regen for more poison applications (even though it obv does both)

slim hamlet
#

Snapshotting is interesting to me too, never got to play when everything was more or less snapshot afaik

void mesa
#

I personally enjoyed exsang, outside of the bugs of course. The setup that goes with it felt good, heck I felt goos about doing it and didnt know why dmg went down. I think it'd be good if rogue doesnt go too much into the snapshot part with it being a huge part of Feral for example, but by itself I think exsang is conceptually fine

slim hamlet
#

The more things you have to think about that isn't super obvious the more I like the spec tbh, but probably not what most think

void mesa
#

Altho with the way it deals more dmg but forces to reapply more dots, it ends up turning to a numbers question to know if itd be better to exsang and apply more vs just apply and use normal spenders

runic hinge
#

I think exsang feels good to pull off well but setting it up is wack especially mid fight. Opener is kinda whatever. Also if you mess it up at all it feels terrible. Feels like a very min-max talent that I avoid during prog and then try to work in to parse

slim hamlet
#

Worst thing about exsang is definitely "noob trap". If I didn't look at guides I wouldn't intuitively double rup and garrote

#

And as said earlier many have come in here confused why exsanging DM is bad

thorn thorn
#

TBH I had no idea using Exsang during DM was a terrible thing until someone explained it to me

royal lantern
thorn thorn
#

Planning to return to Sin for this season in M+, Exsang seems like a weird talent

slim hamlet
craggy oak
#

its not that you want the spec to go too deep into snapshot, but its nice to have skill expression - kingsbane, exang, and currently sepsis build all have small bits of "if you dont do this correct you lose dmg", which is nice when the spec is otherwise refresh bleeds and envenom

this is why my personal fave build for sin in recent memory was 1 min vendetta with overhang, flag.

wahtever happens with exang would be nice to see something that is not overly complciated but supports "if you play this well, you will be rewarded"

slim hamlet
#

Man kingsbane was the good times

thorn thorn
#

Its more so I didnt connect the dots that DM was a bleed and would fall under Exsang, admittedly, bad on my part

awkward cd alignment

thorn thorn
#

My experience with Exsanguinate has been in pvp, I cant imagine having to use it in a PVE environment

subtle kiln
#

what can you not imagine?

thorn thorn
#

The awkward cd alignment

subtle kiln
#

you just figured out what CD/trinket it was worth slamming with and prepping for that

#

just not necessarily intuitive

slim hamlet
#

Fun in pvp because it makes enemy go boom

thorn thorn
#

Yes, very fun with the insane amount of burst it can get in pvp

#

I havent used it in a pve environment much (yet)

royal lantern
# sharp falcon Exsanguinate: Love? Hate? (can say why if u want but dont have to)

imo the talent has a multitude of problems

the idea is fine, "speed bleeds up so you do dmg faster" sounds cool on paper, the problems comes with the gameplay implications it brings, so that you set up stronger bleeds just to let them run out faster and set up again (espacily bad with 45sec exsang, the gameplay just feelt like as if you where just constantly setting bleeds up->exsang->set up again->exsang the entire fight)

another problem is the weird CD alignment, 45 and 3min both never felt good tbh, 45 way to frequent but 3min had those weird "Hold the ability for 1min+ sometimes" moments

another problem is how unintuitive the ability actually is, exsang actually killing your major dmg CD is something most people dont realise, and its 1of the very few abilitys that actually HARMS you for using it slightly wrong, and then the other things like exsang snapshoting haste etc.... all just lead to an gameplay with the ability that doesnt feel good imo, while at the same time beeing an ability where you actually need a bigger amount of 3rd party information just to understand what its actually all doing/how it interacts with you

Turn Exsanguinate into Vein Ripper from Torghast, only instead of it being triggered by vanish, it is its own cooldown. Otherwise, remove Exsanguinate. Like, build a time machine, travel back in time, and prevent it from ever happening so there is not a single reference or mention of the ability anywhere in the history of humankind.

#

considering haste is the crutch that gets used to make so many other spec feel "empowered"

#

idk if anything is going to make it feel like that on Assa (or rogue in general)

slim hamlet
#

I don't dislike covenant abilities, they just should have been "rebranded" as the actual classes abilities

royal lantern
#

ye idk, i also think haste+energy classes is in a weird spot

leaving sark down realm and everyone is blasting except me and the ww buddy cus we do fuckall with haste is just weird when like 60% of "you do BIG DMG NOW" mechanics are haste based

marble hemlock
#

Ye I definitely feel that the set on stone 1sec GCD is hindering the design a lot nowadays, lots of classes have CDs reduced and/or get a big benefit from haste procs/trinkets/bloodlust, and we kinda dont.

slim hamlet
#

ER definitely the worst offender of not making any sense look wise

marble hemlock
#

Most of the "you get a big boost from this boss" mechanics are haste-based, and rogue just never did anything with that outside of more melee swings. sick.

slim hamlet

are you excited for the rogue rework to make haste poggers, and then we all have no haste

slim hamlet
#

Sepsis alright because I guess it's a poison and flag also fine imo

subtle kiln

#

Weirdly enough in the past, haste was still good, but rogue is now at a spot where all specs are already kinda gcd capped, so haste is no longer as valuable

#

That old chestnut

marble hemlock
# subtle kiln kinda goes back to spec variants being able to basiaclly ignore it

That, and it opens the door to problems like removing a scaling agent from Assassination via Venomous Wounds. When youre already sitting at ~50apm on a 1sec GCD in st, getting infinite energy from VW on aoe isn't gonna drastically alter your gameplay feel and you won't be able to scale your AoE damage to much higher levels as a result.

#

Whereas going from pressing a button every 1.5sec to every 1.0 sec, is quite a significant increase in output already.

subtle kiln
#

yea

#

plus it just typically feels better since the player notices it

#

idk how much it would actaully effect the other two specs, but I feel like having some actual tempo changes would be great with assa

#

sub wanting 0 haste just seems weird

marble hemlock
#

ye i mena, the alternative for assa would be some kind of stance that you could activate that would slowly increase energy drain, but increase damage as well, so in an environment where you generate lots of energy, you can translate that into damage

#

btu thats a pretty massive thing obv

subtle kiln
#

stance dancing assa. sign me up

slim hamlet
#

Aintnoway

marble hemlock
#

it reminds me a lot of the energy overcapping issues combat had in MoP, where the solution ended up being increasing sinsiter strike energy cost and damage. but that also hurt the people who werent in bis gear and already played a slow spec, which now became even slower (was atrocious for leveling for example)

subtle kiln
#

yup

marble hemlock
#

think overall outlaw has a solid solution with AR. increase max energy and lower GCd temporarily, but their resource overcapping is (or used to be) very cd based, ours isnt.

subtle kiln
#

I'm assuming AR still on CD for outlaw, where something like that I would want to see lined up with other CDs. tea just filling in energy lows kinda meh

#

like ret has an auto attack ability, that I honeslty thought I was going to hate. I love it since I can actually focus on other things besides dps at times. doesnt exactly work for a class/spec that's only focus is DPS

it’s also not a hard dps check. staying alive more important than anything else

light warren
#

just got Echoing reprimand. how the hell does this abilty work

limber lion
#

You press it and it generates combo points

#

One of your 5 (or 6) combo points will be lit animapowered

#

Let's say combo point #4 is animapowered

#

So if you get to 4 combo points and use a finisher at 4 combo points, it will use up the animacharge and deal damage as if it was a 7 combo point finisher instead of 4.

light warren
#

so what if 3 is charged and i have 4

limber lion
#

Doesn't matter, you follow normal finisher rules

#

So you would finish at 5 or 6 with Deeper Stratagem, or 4 or 5 without.

#

You don't play around it at all

#

You just finish if you happen to land on it by rng

light warren
#

ah okay and its just use on cd all the time right

gusty mirage
#

always

light warren
#

even if it doesnt need refreshing?

gusty mirage
#

yeah

#

so sepsis gives you 2 stealth ability uses right

#

first one can be used right away to refresh garrote

#

and then the 2nd one

#

you refresh as late as possible

light warren
#

yea but if i use on cd then i would use garrote from stealth then use spesis

gusty mirage
#

ye you'd still garrote

#

because it pandemics

#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

gusty mirage
#

and then you refresh it toward the end of the sepsis buff again

#

it's not perfectly efficient

#

but it results in more uptime on improved garrote

light warren
#

ok

#

alsol is pandemic just a game thing or a talent
