if you wanna search for rotational mistakes a log review might help you
Yes, aoe thing is not even something i'm seeking, i'm trying to get better in ST
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/69KhQg3a4CcVn8k2 Yesterday night on Rashok
and ppl are likely to help you and analyze the log
start a thread pls
with !log
and post it in there
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
does this work only in sub channel? @vestal wren
oh wowanalyzer works for assa? :3
Yep, just cheked
Looks like i missed a few teas
and you're clipped a couple of improved garrotes
and a few low cp envenoms
this is definitely a fairly large mistake
should be closer to 20%
I must confess, yes it is. But Rashok MM is like a try-not-to-panick-and-do-your-rotation-perfectly boss
yep
I guess I'm getting old lol
very rewarding tho cuz if you do play it well it's basically a target dummy as far as uptime
but dodging lava tends to take priority
yeah... at some point it's just LAVE EVERYWHERE and i'm a bit panicking lol
But thanks for the advice
I'll try to get more focused š
but to other people's points, at this point in the tier assas isn't really gonna be toppin any charts
I was afraid of that answer š¦
Yeah but that helps staying alive (everyone in our raid, while in progress, has to wear it)

is this like a thing now 
if someone told me to put a sporecloak on I'd bench my damn self and go find a new guild lol
On the progress phases only. The idea is if you don't (as a team) master a boss, then get yourself another chance to stay alive
do any of you play assassination on keystones?
its prob the worst shit i ever did on wow
Yes i do
a very dedicated few
I think we're one of the only specs without 0 peopel in title range
it's pretty cursed
rework pls
it's comin
Yes, it's not really competitive, to say the least
to dot aoe
Is it?????
10.2 rogue class and spec tree
outlaw is lowkey really fun to play
OL been pretty fun this xpac
I played it in s1
I think it's just feral druid, ass rogue, and uh dk
have no one in title range
atm

I was going to try to learn Assassination, but since there's going to be a rework and it's terrible to play, I'll leave it there for now
oh and MM hunter
Better get interest on next patch, yeah
I mean I wouldn't expect a super drastic change in play styles for any of the spec
but probably some new emergent builds
and lots of quality of life
fire mage rework changed a lot
I mean if you've played fire mage before it was pretty familiar
they jsut weren't playin flame strike in s1
this new way to play flamestrike
is different
it contributes to the hotstreak
it's very different from shadowlands fire
i hope rogue gets a really cool rework
hunter too
its needed
realz is pretty tuned into the rogue community, i'm sure it'll be good
i would not hold your breath for that one
we just need to have trust in realz, he will do a good job for sure
don't think any energy classes have variable GCDs with haste
and OL already get's the bonus from AR
dh tank
I wish realz was a hunter dev
dh tank has energy? 
but I find it very strange a spec with the highest APM of the game not to use haste
yeah i mean haste as a stat just kinda contradicts the point of energy classes in the first place
not in love with the design of it as a terc stat
but it functions very well for other specs so idk
rework haste 
or at very least stop making raid and dungeon bosses that are balanced around massive haste buffs
and delete external pi 
ye
like
lust for sub
does not do anything
make a very important mechanic in the game, but create classes that benefit 0 from it
hey hey, stop spreading missinformation
you get 3more energy each second and slightly more CP from shadow tech

but yeha, haste and rogue is......special
Assa gets more frequent bleed ticks
2specs where it litearlly does nothing, 1spec where it has SOME effect, but also nothing major like it is for everyone else
Outlaw, subtlety and brewmaster though⦠yeah
On the flipside you donāt care about having low haste (or negative haste)
And do not experience the āthis spec feels like shit but will get fixed with more gear now go grab some gear with unshittening or smthā
Thats not a good argument, saying a stat has almost no value is never good
Thatās kind of the design point though: haste is bad because we sort of have 50% haste baked into out class by default
We have slice for faster autoattacks, we have vigor for faster energy recovery, we have fixed 1s gcd as opposed to hasted 1.5s that non-energy users have
Adrenaline is basically PI on steroids
Also a huge part of every specās energy generation comes from non-hasted sources
I mean i think that's kinda dookey design
Yeah, big external haste doesnāt do anything, but idk if it can do anything without causing us to feel slow when haste isnāt there
Does WW like haste on gear??
it's their worst stat
What about feral??
better than vers
Theyād probably benefit the most out of energy classes
tied with mastery
bu they want crit
i mean they like some haste for the same reason assas does
Yeah, but besides DoT tick rate they donāt really gain anything
but like we're not giving every energy class dots to make haste more viable
Iām sort of fine with haste being the worst of 4 stats
I would be fine with it in a world that didn't rely on dungeon/raid bosses giving massive haste steroids, and blood lust, and pi
like a lot of the game is balanced around haste buffs
i was asked to put this message instead givn that the wowanalyzer support is good for sin
iirc works in sub/outlaw but cf+ can always open a thread manual
we just got lazy and didn't wanna do log review anymore 
haha
also assas needs to do like 3 things correctly
and wow analyzer accurately identifies all of them
ok good to know, i didnt knew that analyzer was up2date otherwise i would've recommended it first
it's very cozy for assas now
tbh it takes a lot of time, i havn't had much time to do log reviews for sub too in s2 even tho i get quite some in dms
I try to do what i can when i have the mental bandwidth
thats where the community comes into help
except OL
same
i never even looked at my own pirate logs last tier

that shit is like reading heiroglyphics
i also dont look at my logs since i know i dont fuck up my rota š
always happny if someone else helps out, 
theres a reason why OL's pref vods instead of a log 
idk there's always somethin lurking in there
this was like rank 5 on magmo when i got it
envenomed him with no rupture 
only thing i look into my logs for is timings, nothing else, i mean sub isnt hard at all to perfect (atleast for me)
sheesh
wowanalzyer looks juicy
but this basically covers everything for assas
they changed the design no?
last time i used it was in like idl bfa when i didnt had a clue how WoW works 
oh ok
but like this covers 99% of stuff that assas fucks up
and if someone's looks pretty good but still parsing bad
it's almost always trinket procs/beacon crits/ or really bad uptime for melees
or all of the above
How dependent on haste would you like to be then??
just a normal dmg stat like the Others lol
And how do you get that??
Other than ādelete energyā
I donāt really see a way for that to happen, maybe Iām just dense though
i mean i can't think of a good solution
short of like deleting haste and rebalancing around it not existing lol
but i'm sure there's a better one
There must be a better one other than ādelete haste as a stat, turn all haste externals into raw damageā (because this screws up those who like haste) or āturn rogue into a warrior with stealth by deleting energy privilegesā if you want haste to be a good stat
I mean i'm in the business of identifying and/or creating problems
not solving them

Yep. So am I. And I have found problems within your problem-having problem
Make haste scale the energy procs for the three specs 
Sin dot ticks outlaw attacks and sub shadow techniques (idk what itās called)
We already have enough energy, what are you dropping in terms of talents??
Weāre getting a rework talents will be changed
and they could be changed again to accomodate a tertiary change
Fair enough
if we have enough ad damage in sark myth, is it worth going sin instead of sub, also, is sin hard to pick up from sub
Late to the party but sin's entire energy gen is hasted.
- Baseline gen : hasted
- VW : procs on bleed ticks, therefore hasted
- DS : procs on poison applications (which are on attack speed, so hasted) and ticks (also hasted)
Problem with haste as sin is that even without it we're still barely energy capped at all, and we're a fixed GCD spec so its effect is almost exclusively on dots
Which sure are a hefty dose of our dps, but crit affects 100% of it aswell as making SF a thing ; and our mastery scales strong enough on enough of our dmg profile that it's just better
Iridikron burn phase go brrrr
sin benefits from the haste, so if you dont have to help with any add dmg, sin will probably do more boss dmg there
from what i heard the cooldowns also kinda line up pretty well with the phases
Okay! Iāll switch to sin and see how it feels, thanks for your response
just remember, since you wont do any add dmg, unless they stand in your poison bomb, remember to look at boss dmg and not overall
Hmm, true actually. So if all of those were tuned with an idea of us stacking haste in mind - weād end up either very stutter-y (in moments of low haste) or drowning in energy (in moments of high haste). Or both
Honestly, seeing our design space, having us balanced around not needing haste (or barely at all) for our energy gain is kinda baffling
And i feel i'm far from alone being fine with having downtimes where i don't press a button every second, especially if that's a tendency that goes away as an expansion continues (because more stats = more haste = less energy problems)
Haste should lower energy regen for rogue

nice
Ive had two flies in my apartment for a good week, cant seem to find a way to kill them
Anyone got tips for that
Cant get bleeds going fast enough they start evading
Pray they donāt bang and wait em out
Thats the thing im pretty sure thats what theyre doing
They keep hugging each other in the air
Looks sus

Okay i got 2, one got away
I sprayed them with this multi purpose cleaning solution i use to keep my place clean
They call me The Alchemist
Chemical warfare 
The full metal one?
new assa rogue ability?
Someone ping Realz fast!
No 
Could be a nice capstone
Im laying on the floor most fights anyways might aswell clean them while im at it
someone gotta clean up all them corpses after the wipes
Tie some actual knives to your fan.
My country doesnt believe in fans
Never seen someone had one in their apartment ever
herbo whatās cooling your gpu rn 
Hasnāt it been getting hot as fuck in the summers?
get a cat
my icy veins
yessir windows are indeed open and life is misery

@balmy condor sry for the ping, but im cooking up some assault speed for mythic and was wondering what a 40sec max dmg assa build would look like


kingsbane
unironically
he played it on a heroic run, can prolly find it on his logs
kingsbane lets go
Kb value insane in keys if you use ur cc to only pull 1 thing every minute
Genius
yeha but that dopamine rush during the first 30sec
actually able to see yourself for once



Massacred necromanced and massacred again 
one day
it will return
and we can have discussions about tracking KB stacks again
man
those first two weeks of dragonflight were such a banger
we had build diversity
we had damage
I blame warlocks
Has me mentioned anything publicily? coz feels sins had the same problems in the talent tree since like 10.0.5. If the plan is to rework the talent tree anyways, then temporary bandaid solutions for the meantime are warranted imo.
yes he has
there's a ton changing in the class tree
things being removed/changed/tweaked/gateways being moved
warlock gateways get moved to us? nice
also a 10% aura buff does nothing for assassination
so a bandaid will do nothing except make you feel a teeny bit better about yourself
I'd rather them not waste time on that and fix the class and spec trees
i know its pvp but a 10% aura buff pushed outlaw into being played in both na and eu AWC finals and it dominated
so sometimes aura buffs are needed
yeah but outlaw is in a much better position than assassination
true
sometimes it is just a tuning issue
but assassination is just jank
our ST is jank, our aoe is jank, our access to our utility is jank
all of it
and don't get me wrong I'd like a 5% aura buff to assassination
then it'd close the gap between assassination and sub for me and I could just play assassination and not care
but if it takes anything away from the rework I'd rather just suck it up for a few months, ya know
same. but the idea with a bandaid solution is that its a quick (like an aura buff) temporary thing that wont be touched, while they work on the actual solution. So i dont see it as a waste of time.
what if they give us 10%, now after the rework we are too strong and we get a 10% nerf, now you feel shit cause "its only week 2 and we got nerfed"
but in the end its just taking the bandaid off
The greatest psy op known to man
North American League of legends?
No theyed likely remove the 10% durring the ptr as we are testing the new tree and seeing that maybe assa is doing too much dmg.
what kind of take is that?
People still get massive upset, even if its a ptr nerf
no way
If the dmg is the same why would ppl be upset? Its not like your losing dmg.
You werenāt here for df launch were you?
outlaw melted down when they removed 1 combo point from fan the hammer
no
any nerf no matter when its mentioned gonna make like 80% of the specs playerbase mad
^
doesnt matter if they are still meta and broken (see fire mage)
To be fair this made the spec feel so much worse
yeah it feels like shit to get nerfed, justified or not
"ye blizzard never allows rogues to be good, mages atleast had 2 weeks on live before they get nerfed while rogue gets nerfed on the ptr, its so unfair man"
and then it feels 1000x times worse when you see BM hunter and frost mage get buffed to levels beyond where your spec originally was
but that's another rant for another day

Thatās verbatim what would be said
10.0 frost mages were gonna be the death of oxi
didn't you hear? fire mage is dead now
they only do 1 million dps in aoe instead of 1.3 million dps
dead spec tbh

bro
Weāre also in garbage time guys, I say this as someone still progging - this tier doesnāt matter at this point. Iād love buffs to do more dam. But Iād also rather have an awesome and functioning rework thatās tuned nicely than current iteration feeling slightly better for my ego which (might?) be gone in a few months
watching BM hunter, frost mage, and uhdk get buffed
after we got beaten and thrown to the side
UHDKs are illegal
I'm convinced that the balancing team goes to chatgpt for advice
no one can convince me otherwise
"assassination is TOO strong"
3 weeks later
You just dont understand their methods
We may have not killed echo last night, but I took another 300k from our warlock
(neither do they)
"we're buffing frost mage 2 times to do 138k ST dps"
UHDKs are literally my 13th reason.
Getting gaslit at the beginning of the tier that theyād lose so much dam because of tierset just for them to regularly be 150k+ per fight
now now, thought we got over that week 12
chat gpt advice is still prob better than some of the cooked takes ive seen suggested
suggesting exsang smh
I lived through the culling of sub rogue in bfa
"unholy scales poorly cause puzzlebox is so good"
and then the balancing shit show on s3/s4 SL
Literally girlbossād WoW with that
Mf had the same affix daily
I've never been more tilted in my life
and then my RL had me play indiscriminate carnage on dathea
and sent me on a platform because our prot pally couldn't figure out how to divine toll properly
and then vault was ruined forever for me
I cast vanish 3 times n 8.5 minutes
Similar to the "i cant get invites anymore because exodia" rants in #subtlety every day now? 
THREE TIMES
Similar to season 3/4 of sl (but somehow this is worse)
been there, done that, quit guild, was happy after

I told my new guild about that
and they laughed
they found it hilarious
dathea actually broke me
i mean, if you put assa on IC for that boss, just get another dps in at that point 
ik its for the silence

new guilds raid lead laughing and quickly opening his raidstrats.txt to remove IC on dathea from his reqeusts
but just get a dk
was he sad he had to keep playing after the first 45s of the fight?
so did I
until about 10 pulls in
I get asked to go up on a platform

our shaman had a whopping 3 kicks in 8.5 minutes btw
i remember trialing on mythic broodkeeper. Havent seen that boss before and i got put on destroying egg duty, smashed it and was topping meters, then grieftorch went to a guy who was dead every pull
best kick in the game
nbd
get asked to swap sub
my sub bars were from s3 of SL
I still had macros from SL on my bars
it was a disaster
then I get asked to swap to control the adds on the platform
and my mental was ruined for the rest of the tier
swapping specs is fine for a boss for all i care, if the raidlead tells me a few days before
so i can get my head around what i wanna do
ah that sounds nice
sounds like vault was an insane experience for you
yep I had an absolute blast
didn't get my brood keeper dagger until the last week of vault

that was my reward
This tier 2
(me with eranog ring, nvm i didnt even get it farming start of S2)
Surely
5 kills on mythic sark
3 cloaks
2 beacons
0 daggers

I have every 450 piece except the ring from echo and the dagger

the dagger doesnt look good anyways 
Unluigi
we've seen one echo trinket
and it was a call to suffering
or whatever the lock one is
is that call to suffering?
who knows
Suffering is ours
we've also only seen 1 chromatic essence btw
ever
and 1 anvil
and 1 bomb dispenser
lmao
god damn it oxi, i took 3000 gold from vault
they should make blindside give you an offgcd ambush so i can just macro it into mut.... change my mind.
what is this luck
I warn you mfers every week
I have dogshit luck
bro I took a socket last week
and I have nothing to socket

i mean, i have 2 extra sockets in bag, and nothing to socket
same
so i was like fuck it 3k gold it is instead of a 3rd useless one
tbf i enjoy me some blindside procs
feels nice to press a free ambush
into another free ambush
last time i pressed N was to respec into outlaw to see how shit dps i would do with that spec
was for a quick sim
went back to sub after
Cook some noodles, grab a forkful
Thatās pretty much any rogue tree
is sub rly brainless?
in m+ compared to assa, yep
atleast in my eyes
but its more of "its just so much easier to play, almost brainless"
tyler š¤ oxi
perks are we get to talk to @earnest remnant and he's cute
so
it's a win still
no, you 
Checkmate
that is just positively adorable

I told myself I would play outlaw for one reclear
just to remember the buttons
and I got like 4 bosses in and couldnt take it
Panda the WHAT
My guild hasnt given me an outlaw weapon because they said id never play it lol
is the Nightstalker talent still broken?
no
does it snapshot the 8% dmg on bleeds?
I think it should
But Iām not sure actually
Cause the bug was that it just wasnāt working on shit
Jokes on them, your best outlaw weapons come from weekly vault (tusk/forgestorm) and crafting
The fact that it didnāt snapshot was a design decision
But yeh
Think that changed
nighstalker works, but not consistntly on everything
esp. multi part attacks like sepsis are potential fail cases
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Ye nightstalker shapshots rupture, garrote (assuming you cast it while stealthed and not with improved garrote) and sepsis
But it doesnt seem to do so in the sims 
Idk if its worth bothering looking into it seeing as theres a lot of new stuff coming soon anyway, but eh
just tested a bit. NS does snapshot garrote and rupture, it also snapshots NS dmg on casts within subterfuge window (last i remember this was also broken)
it also snapshots dance but that one is more obvious
It definitely does not have the NS effect within subterfuge
dreadblades is so cringe
outlaw on kurog with HO was fun but i cant get behind the current talent setup
^ when i tested it
lmk if something was fixed
or add a comment if something is missing
Are you sure? I have vivid memories of simming after the fix
lemme get to my pc
I can tripple check
rly im testing differently. Just looking at my tick dmg
I'm seeing weird things for sure
my garrote dmg when cast from stealth and when cast right after breaking stealth (with an autoattack) using subter are the same amount of dmg more than just a regular garrote.
And youre sure your auto attack doesnt miss, because when i do it with like 1s left of subterfuge it definitely doesnt get the benefits
maybe if i spec out of improved garrote it works
2.590 Player 'No_NS' garrote ticks (2 of 14) on Player 'Fluffy_Pillow' for 16875.389063295643 physical damage (hit)
2.577 Player 'NS' garrote ticks (2 of 15) on Player 'Fluffy_Pillow' for 16875.389063295643 physical damage (hit)
two different sims, one with NS one without
Kinda sussy
im specced out of it fwiw
yeh seeing similar
nightstalker tho
also in my combatlog at least when i cast garrote from stealth it specifically says "Bigsexy's [Garrote] broke BigSexy's [Stealth]"
this is straight from stealth w/ NS
here i break with an auto and cast garrote durring subter
same dmg
Yes without improved garrote it works
But i just didnt consider ever speccing out of it
yea i wouldnt either, funny how broken shit is

i think with Imp Garrote, the game chooses the higher dmg mod (50%) over the 8% from NS, and subter buff lasts as long as Imp Garrote buff (3s) so youd just never see the NS dmg mod with imp garrote
my hypothesis
but not with subt right
If you use it only during imp garrote and subterfuge (lmao) its only 50% because youre no longer in "stealth"
without subt
oh I see
fun
I will forget this conversation in a week
nightstalker could be like 20% and still be utter dogshit
yeh just drop 1 min sprint
very cool and good
play base ER
very sick
excellent
im mostly considering it for my shadow dance memes in m+
sim number is green tho must play monkey brain is compelling me to follow the green number
Well number should be even greener if nightstalker isnt properly being applied in simc
need 10.2 to drop right now so people stop doing the most cursed shit
what the fuck is this
okay but no one's playing it
Not that any1 should run subterfuge, but can sum1 else verify that Shrouded Suffocation bonus CP is just broken when running subterfuge.

Bro people have been playing sub with 1 step and 2 min sprint the entire tier, surely assa can survive with just two steps 
"people have been playing sub"
no they haven't
those fucking lizard people aren't people
but have they been enjoying it?
also bit of a false equivalency
cause they play 1 step 2 min sprint for bigger reasons than a 4% buff on 1 garrote every 2 minutes
gold?
you'd catch me 6 feet in the dirt before you see me recommending nightstalker with the current spec
alt f4 is a good game
alt f4 2 is poorly optimized tho
bring back Shadowstrike teleporting you while casts in dance/steatlh 
its gone in 10.2 so 
bring back Burst of Speed
god I fucking hope so
burst of speed is never coming back
i mean we will see
nighstalker and subterfuge have been the most spaghetti code talents for like a decade now
just delete and move on
but NS and subterfuge seem to be at least candidates that would make sense
subterfuge is popular in pvp tho
Hello, is there a way to do a sim with beacon critting on every use? I want to see if the gamba degenerate play could be worth over my essence
popular
pvp
it's better dw
a single beacon cast critting vs not critting is worth over 2k dps
if you crit all your casts
it's gonna be better
stay sane
gl
it's the best when you're at 52% crit
and you crit 0/3 casts
Are any of us sin enjoyers sane?
pretty cool
we just had a convo about nightstalker, subterfuge, and dance
so
definitely not

can be a pvp talent tho
whys ER supposed to be used at 0cp (vs also 1-3cp)
is bomb dispenser just macro'd (assuming you dont care about saving charges for prio dmg/burst)
Can be... I have mine macro'd to Mutilate
because if you use ER at 0 you're naturally going to hit one of the animacharges first off the bat
NS is gone?
if we all pray hard enough it might happen
probably, it is a fairly low impact node
I wont pray that kind of thing. If pray hard can make things happen, I'll do it for heavy 3-hit ambush and FoK hitting target twice as well as poison fusion.
you cant say its gone 1hr ago and now reply me with "probably".
my understanding is that he would treat NS as a featured "passing" node.
it fits his style
would giga suck if that were the case
if nightstalker was a node in 10.2
makes sense.
blizz asked me for feedback. no nda
i told em to ask chatgpt
seems like those madlads took the comment to heart
Isnt there a dev update thing today
Youāre telling me all this time it wasnāt chatgpt dev?
why can't he?
are theorycrafters not allowed to speculate?
sure they can. but please be consistent
if he was speculating, then he could use "was to be"?
or you could not try to dissect someone else's english
I wish taco bell consistently offered quesaritos
and not jump down someone's throat for being inconsistent in speculating something that no one has seen
feel free to be consistently quiet for everyone else sake
I wish Taco Bell was nicer to my belly
but his first reply didnt imply speculating. it could somewhere realz said about it and confirmed
it didn't?
he mentioned somewhere in the history that he wants to remove low impact/passive dps nodes iirc
do you see a PTR? or have knowledge of some insider information that fuu would be privy to?
so its a guess, but overall some nodes qualify for that quit well
literally everything anyone says until things hit PTR is speculation
just because YOU didn't know that
doesn't mean it's not common sense
i just go with realz chat history
and everyon can type from:.realz in the search bar and make conclusion based on communication/messages
i dont have it in the past didn't mean this time fuu's reply cannot be a different case. and I merely try to confirm things there.
so you speculated about fuu having insider knowledge or knowing something that isn't readily available
can we tell you to be more careful with your words then?
Stop fighting mom and dad
fuu's comment was fine. English isn't his first language and it isn't yours either so it feels weird to criticize his poor word choice when you're the only person who's having the issue
i don't have any insider knowlage, sadly
happens sometimes depending on stats and stuff
i didn't speculate, i read fuu's reply which didn't imply any speculation, that's why i try to confirm it with him. and it turned out to be a speculation. and I merely commented on it lightly. there is no any harsh word anywhere in the conversation.
think its fine
you now know what my speculation is based on, what do you speculat will chang?
why would it need to imply speculation, 10.2 ptr isn't out yet
literally anything said is speculation
even things realz posts
it was related to classic hardcore i think
hey folks, what tertiary enchantments would you guys recommend for mythic prog?
Thereās no insider info.
Itās just people speculating to converse
avoidance & leech
Leech is usually my go to, but avoidance is also good
is one better than the other?
leech will probably save you more than avoidance will
esp because if avoidance works, feint works
Depends on your healing situation 
and you're already getting 40% reduction from feint
oh true. were currently progging rashok, got him to 9% last raid
avoidance is esp good on rashok
if that changes teh math
Oh shit GZ
his leaps & group soaks are all feintable
for this case, my understanding is if fuu read it as a criticism then it actually has no word cirticizing. if fuu comes with humor and think that's a kidding, then that was my intention. The thing is removing NS is happy and good. if it turned out to be not confirmed then that's just some exclamation.
rogue's really weak against ticking damage usually so leech is good
Avoidance is really good - but on our kill I was top healing to myself and leech was over half of that
Pog whispyr sighting
all the stuff on rashok for example is feintable so avoidance is whatever lowkey
just gonna make your healers overheal more

how do you guys feel about dmg being tied to stealth openers in m+ when the game is trending more and more towards this solo player communication-less playstyle. I used to like it, it gave some spec identity but it just feels more like annoyance to me now.
ya you can feint almost all damage on rashok anyway
so avoidance will be a smaller + to your health pool than leech
i think feint was a top 5 pressed key for me last raid
or basically
it's already pretty minor right now so I don't mind it much
With 10.1.7 being released for September 5th anyone see anything about the love we getting?
10.2 ptr is likely to get up soon after 10.1.7
just to be clear, this is just how it is usually handled
i didn't judge or criticize anyone's english here. it was merely some words to express some fast emotional change from up to down with "oh, thank god it is gone" and then "oh, it's not confirmed".
xD
I read the other day they wanted and were pretty set on having the changes for 10.1.7. š¦
it was originally planned for 10.1.5
and then got pushed back to 10.2
well you could technically say you will have the changes in 10.1.7
because the ptr will be up during the 10.1.7 patch cycle
just that they won't come to the live server before 10.2
Oh ic. That's kinda pooping. The fact it was pushed back twice.
it wasnt.
it was only pushed back once
it was pushed back 1 time
from 10.1.5 -> 10.2
There was an interview with one of the devs that straight up said 10.1.7
there wasn't
i assume 10.1.7 dev time was already allocated and they have still a lot of things to do for avoker
so it makes sense to "slot" it in for the next cycle
just my guess
Oh it was adjusted almost right after the interview
there was an interview with ion that said it was pushed back to the next major patch
^
which is in fact 10.2
there was an announcement of rogue changes in the 10.1.5 ptr notes
that didn't come
we didn't hear much
interviews said pushed back to next major patch
realz publically said most likely 10.2
that's the timeline
yes. ion made it clear the work was not passed to other dev and pushed back
I don't understand why it takes 2/3rds of an expansion to see progress on a class when virtually all other have seen some kind of tweaking or even major buffs in some cases.
we got a whole new capstone in 10.0.5
and sepsis changes
various tunings along the way
And yet we still are the least performing spec. And at the bottom in terms of DPS tiers. it's just a bit disheartening to see, that we are bottom of the barrel it seems.
least performing spec out of what
I think there is one spec lower in m+ on the rankings and that unholy.
game isnt balanced around m+
most rogues playing m+ also just play different specs
but yeh
specs are tuned to be able to do +20's
blizzard doesn't tune for +29's
I guess that's fair. But you can't say we are on par with the upper classes/spec in terms of numbers. Even in 20s or raid content. Even siming backs that. I have checked in a bit but I skimmed buddies lock and my rogue and he was about 50k give or take higher on ST. With similar Ilvl I'm 442 he 445. (I think 50k). I'll double check.
I wasn't gonna touch that ryler

I have 3 warlocks in my guild
prog would've been done much faster if they simmed 180k
you never know with the purple class
their APL could have them casting immolate over and over and over
wouldn't be the first time
For boss damage, yes we're higher than the other two. But aren't we like middle of the pack for all specs?
I thought kir no?
Boss damage is also famously kinda missleading
outlaw in this case is perfectly in the middle
name 3 people who play kir
that's specifically 75th percentile though. is that pretty consistent for all the percentiles?
Some guy on Warcraft logs with Asian characters in his name
is it as famously cute as you tho?
brother I'm not going to sit here and click through percentiles for you

Didn't ask you to either. Just asking.
it's above average
!fuu

which trinket do i take boys the dragonfire can be upgraded to 441 or the frenzying ignoll flare can be ugpraded to 447
Bomb
bomb for sure
Redid the sims its been awhile. He is about 10k higher on sims.
I'm at 126 he is at 137. But he does get all the PIs which apparently scale stupidly well.
okay bet gonna run zskarn rq to see if i can get it so i dont need to take
Hi all, is there a haste percentage to have in PvE Assassination ?
the normal answer would be to sim your character and raidbots will tell you, if you need more haste
but there are no fixed values for stats
Do like other classes have a hit x amount of stat and stop because of hard or soft cap?
rarely
There are breakpoint for some classes
But its more relic of the past
Or Do i remember it False?
most of the breakpoints are mini things for like getting 1 extra gcd during cooldowns, or a slightly better timing on something that's reduced by haste
shatter cap on frost mages famously
but yeah
Fire with skb
it's basically gone at this point
One extra gcd at 25% haste I think?
something like that
Yeah makes sense
its much more common on casters cause they get gcd and cast time
it just creates some weird timing shit
It was more common on previous expac right?
Probably
hasn't really been more common since like legion
Yeah thats what i mean
bfa/shadowlands didn't have much
Fdk gains 1 extra global per pillar of frost every 12.5% haste, makes for some interesting questions in their discord by ppl who think minmaxing this is absolutely critical
Ud lose your mind
yeh
there's a ton of shit like that
and the answer is always "it doesn't matter"

it's like assassination restealth in m+ conversation
over and over and over
imagine hasted gcd and shiv debuff
Cant play assa on spiteful week 
Fire haste break point for skb is like 10 and then another at like 104
And it's for being able to sneak 5 pyros into a skb and then 104 is "scorch casts faster than the gcd so fireball"

Wdym thatās pad
Cant pad if u dont get stealthed garrotes in tho
The age of dilemma
Mfs act like vanish doesnāt exist 
give me a number
for how much I need to pad
if I don't get stealthed
I need to know how much I have to abuse the ghosties
maybe an augvoker will notice me if I do
From rough calculations around 30% of your damage would need to be on the shades for the damage to equal your stealthed garrotes
I'm on it
Dont bother double checking this is verified maths
using potions for shade damage
Smart play
holding deathmark
calculating perfect positioning for crimson tempest spamming while they all run away from me
triangulating my poison bomb
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Shades never knew what hit em
The skynet solution for digital ghosts
Spiteful week is great because it gives me an excuse to press evasion in keys
like lets get real even if breakpoints do exist the answer is always sim yourself
fucking lmao
Is there still a dev update or was that for classic hardcore?
the dev update was for classic
pad deez nuts on your face buddy
Bummer


Ohai, new face here and new-ish rogue player (at least for DRAGONFLIGHT). Had a trinket question, and wanted to know if the elementium anvil is swimming real high for anyone else? It's listed as a F-tier trink on wowhead guide but sims keep saying it needs to be picked over the Onyx Imposters Birthright ring from my Vault. Any and all help appreciated! ā¤ļø
Other trinkets are better but trust robot
I don't think it's F-tier. not sure when the gear guide was updated on wowhead but it kinda falls more in the low B high C category for most people's sims
not a bad option until you have access to other raid trinkets
or like a harlan's or something
and if you have bad trinkets rn then it'll probably outperform a lot of other random stuff
My other trinket is the Nelth one. The one being replaced would be a Chromatic Essence
is the anvil like much higher ilvl 
I'm the best assasination rogue from my country yay!
anvil would be 434 ilvl after i upgrade
nelth is 431 and ominous is 418 so itd be pretty large ilvl from ominous
so direct damage trinkets tend to get favored by sims when your character ilvl is lower
it would probably be a short term upgrade
but if you increase your ilvl in all of your other gear slots
you might see the sims shift in favor of the stat trinkets
like if you got an early beacon this tier it was kind of hard carrying your damage for a long time
but as people got closer to like 440+ ilvl other trinkets caught up pretty quickly
beacon doesn't exist. literally never seen that thing drop since raid came out lol
Something to note is the length of the sim make sure it matches with your estimate of fights because anvil gets better the longer the fight
@keen spruce issue is who the tier list is for and the content it reflects, compared to all the other options. Itās already flawed to begin with in those regards. Could anvil be good? Sure. If the fight is long enough (like in mythic, it doesnāt have time to stack in normal/heroic). And also only in raid, not in m+. And also if you donāt have any of the better trinkets. Chromatic is equally problematic for similar reasons because if you donāt have all the buffs in your raid itās just a bad trinket
Itās hard to fully pin down when trinkets are that complicated
Also just the fact that its a tier list
Itās incredibly cringe
yeah I was being a little hyperbolic for the context of the question
all my homies hate tier lists

how much freedom do you have on the format of the tier list?
like can you change the S/A/B/C to something else? 
It has to be in the traditional S/A/B/C formatting
booooo
The structure of like tier - item - drop - explanation is locked as well
The best I could do is put the explanation in the note
But then itās like a fucking 3 paragraph note
And the whole thing is unreadable
And then you just have no idea how good a trinket it
Cause āoh itās Aā
But then the note has 25 caveats
Oh that's lame. I thought the tier actually meant more than just a format as far as wowhead guides go but that makes sense @balmy condor . In any case that guide has been my sole guiding beacon when trying to do rogue things this expansion so it's very much appreciated!
A lot of guide structuring is templated for us for consistency between all wowhead guides, but also for SEO optimizations sadly
And itās usually fine but yeh
Shit like tier lists, gear bis lists
Functionally pointless
But have to be included
I know a lot of people get goofed up on the raid/m+ bis lists
not realizing it's just the best items from each form of content in a vaccum

also if anyone already has a nick of time
I have a tank that agreed to solo the 2nd boss so we can bring 4 rogues if we want

unfortunate
cant get the dagger it would make you to op
im not even doing the mega dungeon for it
id rather not
@keen spruce @pure moth we at 8 or 8:30?
i'm gud whenever
u know what they say.... if the games not giving u daggers, maybe its a sign to pickup a sword and become a pirate š¤
i didnt say it though, they said it
you trying to get me to ban you?
@keen spruce if yall are doing a full run: https://wago.io/x8VSSZtNA
2 and thru bb
i'm just saving my mental for next m+ season
