And until 10.1.7 sub was better
no one wants to change and learn new spec
yeah we have 3 hunters 2 shadow 2 warlocks and a mage but they can still live for a long time which is why i thought sub might be better in that situation
probably just macro it to deathmark or use it on a big IC opener or somethin
@gusty mirage we did it
🥲
It does exist!
@brazen zodiac when
use it to farm for dice lmao
@keen spruce Teach me how to make this number go to 30+
Next week I can help either of you out @gusty mirage @balmy condor if you’d like
Zar loots mine today

I saw it in a vision
you still need it?
Ofc
I can help if needed
You think that thing drops?
NA?
tbh tho when i ran this i popped it after i did first garrote
yerp
Just dont force me to go past second boss lol
Oh god no
we are doing hard mode achievo
It’s first 2 and hearth
❤️
if thats anyhting like tooltips then you are getting peanuts also lol
it also may contain peanuts and other tree nutz
does it drop 447 if u dont die?
No
I got mine yesterday
:3
i got you any week mang just hit me up. usually bored. Sorry you didnt get it but maybe next week. Thats what I told myself for 17 weeks for bomb lol

that's what I've been saying for uh
7 weeks now
but yah, every tuesday afternoon
I'll ping
yea we had the worst luck. it literally just never dropepd for us at all lol
Awesome im free after 5pm est usually
@agile osprey @pure moth 
830 est , usual time.

I'm assuming there's no reason to add a tertiary on a cloak in gear compare? It only allows you to pick enchants anyway
adding a tertiary doesn't increase your damage
so
how would that even work
dmg = dmg * 1
dmg = dmg + 0
Might be a few late getting food
i'm askin a tank buddy if they can come np np
ok
youre in his walls
i tried to photobomb him on ptr
but he is on another server
he is not a fyrakk enjoyer
he's just too cool for us
What the hell happened?
they may or may not have a way to fix my knee
Did you have a tear or something in your knee?
old snowboarding accident cracked my kneecap into 4 pieces and destroyed my meniscus completely
Ow
they only said " wow, i knew it"
im amazed we havent had it drop when all 3 of us are running
and we skipped one week and i got it again on the run i did
i got it when i didnt even know it existed
I mean 3 rogues in a group is pretty obv
its really their fault
if you think about it
troooooo
true

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/
Hello i would love advice on my raid. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1mWkzMdtGPRNa4Hw#type=damage-done&boss=-2&difficulty=0
I dont know why my parses is so low
also looking for the same but trying to recall how to open a log review lmfao
they mainly direct you to wowanalyzer first
i did
yeah I looked at that and i'm still early into learning sin. I can't really play it in M+, and we only raid 1 night a week for heroic reclear. Tonight was my first full run as sin. doesn't really see anything standing out on wowanalyzer but I also don't really fully understand all the intricacies of sin so theres probably a bunch of glaring things.
i'm sure the bulk of things come down to practicing the rotation but I want to ensure I understand the rotations properly.
my brain is smooth or I would look
lol all good. I parsed a 71 but only 26 for ilvl.
so I am certain theres some things i'm not doing right at all.
yea my parse on magmorax is 35 for ilvl which is a boss u dont do anything on except stand therre
so my rotation must be off
I did a 22 for ilvl (445)
im 443
to an extent parses also depend on # of mechanics, # of augs, fight length, sophic procs, beacon crit if you have it, class trinket procs and im sure other rng Im forgetting about
I just realized that a 337 rogue in my raid also playing sin parsed a 90 for ilvl. so using wowanalzer i'm comparing him to me and the only things I see being a difference is improve garrote and spesis garrote uptimes.
improved garrote uptime
mine 32%, his 62%
sepsis garrote uptime
mine: 10%, his 40%
I also have 3 bad casts after sepsis of using ambush. my downtime is a little higher at 27% while his was 24% but thats probably due to mechanics
ambush after sepsis isn't bad as long as its a proc and not eating your sepsis free stealth buff
unless thats what you mean
could be idk if I used the proc or the regular ambush
your kill was almost 4 minutes
idk if it looks for that.
that's why it's low
you can also look at the log then at his casts vs yours see what his sequence is like and if yours is way off
rotation was fine @light warren very small mistakes that wouldn't make a huge difference
you should use one tea charge with deathmark in your opener
and you dropped rupture at the end of the fight
but really it's cuz most mag kills on heroic that have high parses are closer to 2m and not 4m
his opener deathmark did 16k more damage then mine interesting.
ok what about sark?
i just dont know how to tell if im doing good lol
its improved garrote thats 32%, regular garrote is 99%
yeah that's what i meant
32% imp garrote is very low
and would indicate something is being done very incorrectly
is have 63 improved is that low>?
the other rogues opener is completely different then what mine was and I was following what the FAQ graphic said
do they ER after slice n dice
instead of mutilate
cuz that's just kind of an alternative opener that's basically the same
yep why I wanted to ask for a log review or something cuz I clearly don't know how to use it properly lol
wowanalyzer is the best place to start
same kind of thing tho
your sark kill was 8:44
he doesn't even use S&D until 17 sec in
my last one was 4:30
oh that's scuffed
yikes
do you have a log decius?
he goes in the first 20 sec of pull
garrote, beacon, battle pot, echo rep, rup, sepsis, deathmark, shiv, env, garrote, mut, env, mut, bush, s&d, mut, bush, env w/ tea
My Analyzer https://wowanalyzer.com/report/Xk8pMj3bh9ganWTV/3-Heroic+Kazzara,+the+Hellforged+-+Kill+(2:40)/Darìous/standard/timeline
his Analyzer https://wowanalyzer.com/report/Xk8pMj3bh9ganWTV/3-Heroic+Kazzara,+the+Hellforged+-+Kill+(2:40)/Venderptta/standard/timeline
and as I mentioned he parsed 90 for ilvl and I parsed 26 lol
ilvl parse is 
ilvl parse should not be looked at
so even thought fight is long we have a devestation who is parsing 97's. is this a sin thing?
Only just looked at your rashok log, but your opener seems all over the place
i mean some classes do btter than others on longer fights
idk about dev specifically
this opener is just the faq opener but really sloppy
cant realy compare one class to another on parses like that. its not the same
And seems like you're not pressing every gcd as soon as possible, kinda scuffed looking at it on phone right now tho
yeah but its all I had to go by. we both parsed high overall, but he is right on my ass despite a 8 ilvl gap.
for damage lol
I thought opener was
garrote, S&D, mut, rup, sepsis, deathmark, pot+trinket, shiv + tea, echo, env, garrote, mut, env
regardless of opener, it definitely seems like my improve garrote and garrote w/ sepsis is super low and I need to figure out whats going on there.
yeah he just swapped mut and echo and then forgot to snd
but the rest is pretty much the same
looking at my timeline and it says at 16sec I should have used garrote. i'm guessing I got a proc or something for improve garrote which I missed and didn't use it?
Probably forgor your sepsis
I used sepsis and it was 10 sec after I used it so was when I got the free stealth ability
Yes
and now i'm thinking about it more I think its because on my stealth bar my bush is the same button as mut, so if i'm spamming mut when sepsis expires I will most likely end up using bush by accident. moving garrote to that button will fix that
Eh
that might actually be all I need to do as it looks like thats the biggest gap between us.
You can't optimally play it then
You wanna wait as long as possible to use that garrote
For highest uptime on imp garrote
oh then remove bush from the stealth bar and make it mut so I don't use the free stealth ability proc
That's what I basically did
Now my blindside keybind is just my regular ambush one too
well hopefully next raid I will get to see how that improves.
yeah I a the 12 button mmo mouse so my main bar is 1-12, and my second bar is 1-12 +shift and to keep it simple I have my mut on 1, then ambush on 1 + shift for blindside procs.
so I don't need bush on my stealth bar
I don't have a wa i'll have to grab one
in bar form
if you like icons better I have one somewhere
havent used this one but his WAs are usually pretty good
https://wago.io/yE3S7qTyX
For icon stle not bars
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
ty. I do prefer icons. i'm old and my brain doesn't work as fast as it used to so icons make it less brain processing to figure out in the middle of a fight 😛
yeah I personally for sepsis use both lol
well thanks for the advice guys. And tolerating my chatter in here while I processed and figured out the analyzer data. idk why (maybe adhd) I find when i'm trying to figure something out by talking about it or writing it out as a conversation with someone really helps me get through whatever it is i'm trying to understand.
good luck!
so we reset garrote a t 4 seconds right? when do we reset rupture
are you tracking when your garrote is improved or not also, so you know not to over-write it with a normal one?
this talks about pandemic at the tiemstamp

no probably not
try that out. theres a more simple one with less glows if you dont end up liking this one
also just hitting target dummies a bit is good practice
thanks bud!
hopefully these little things help me put this little whelp in his place (the other rogue in the raid) lmfao
hopefully!
He only started playing rogue the last month. I've been running as the guilds only rogue since SL and been playing it since Vanilla (with periodic 2-4 year breaks lol).
Only hes been playing sin for the whole time, and I haven't touched it much since S2 of SL.
Wanted to do raid last week but wasn't able to get my build and bars ready in time so this week was the first week I was able to really go into raid as sin and have a solid time trying it out.
its a bit harder too when you only raid once a week. or wait was that the other guy, im not scrolling up lol
I used to only play sin, from vanilla until SL, but in S2 of SL I really got into M+ for the first time and no pugs would take sin rogues in higher keys
both of us, same guild. we used to do twice a week and was prog on mythic but everyone got burnt out so we only do a heroic reclear on tuesday now
ah ok
everyone was mocking me tonight (jokingly of course) cuz i'm the ilvl 445 rogue main, usually one of the top dps in the guild, and I have highest M+ io in the guild and while trying Sin the ilvl 437 new rogue was keeping up. one fight literaly was only 170 dps below me lol
why I came in here and was like "log review! I need to figure this shit out!" lol
haha
hey at least you want to figure it out, a lot of people dont even care that much
true
don't call me out like that wtf
oh you
I'm just here for the boots pics
you and everyone else
if only 2 people in my raid have OCE is it even worth grabbing?
yes
for the chance that your raid will get the rest

only need 1 more
if you grab
grab deeze
take all loot, no regrets
no its from vault
oh
i was deciding because oce is like better but i only use it sometimes
vs 447 tier is just upgrade permanant
My options were a 441 oce and a 447 cloak lmao. My cloak was only 428 so I said fuck it idc
I have good enough trinkets anyways, I dont need OCE
Yeah but if you use OCE you won’t have the enjoyment of pulling the slot machine lever
rude


aw no responses
I need to figure out how to use SimC again
does it still look at your vault rewards for you?
responses to what, and yes it does
I found it
confusing why a trinket would only do 22k at 428ilvl while a 411 tricket does 300k dmg.
haha
idk if raidbots assumes a crit on beacon or not
regular crit rate
Fragment still sim bait or go? got in vault
fragment is no good for st, can be used in some dungeons afaik
the one sark drop I didn't want
ya still bait, its okay for sub in keys
well +500 looks good i would take it personally.
im full on sockets homie, we all are
never enough sockets
get another one
or chose something for tmog
the based choice
@gusty mirage new pfp looking cute



Is the new PfP the preview of your Banhammer when 10.2 drops?
I'm a pirate rogue in disguise
Oxi the double agent
I follow the sim opener
cuz I fucked up lol that was not by choice
this is what I did, this helped a tone
this is not true lol, I played ass rogue for pvp for season 1, and I played rogue as my main alt multiple seasons since BFA

maybe one day they'll give us the option to disable action bar paging in the default UI 🥲
the fact that 17 years later addons do a better job of managing action bars than the default blizzard UI is tragic
are u suppose to let the last tick of improved garrote go off before reapplying a normal garrote?
ya
ah fuck I been clipping that
ye I mean it's a small amount of damage loss
not giga problematic, but definitely a habit you want to eliminate
I need every little bit of damage to beat Decius up there
Why spend development time on something players will just download an addon to solve anyway? 
I mean they've stolen every other good addon feature in the last 17 years except the action bar management

Do people actually use the stealth bar? I thought it added a slight latency
the latency issue was fixed with the new action bars
I use edit mode bars, so I’m forced into using it. However I do not really “use” it
but ye if you play default UI you're kinda stuck with it
Yeah I don’t want bar paging
most people get around it by just making stealth bar identical to their out of stealth bar
Only thing I have is a macro for sub for gloom / shadow strike
Which pivots based on bar
Also DRAGONRIDING bar
I occasionally bother realz with it 
Pisses me off so much, I move one thing on my bar I have 2 other bars I have to update
But I will say there is still a slight delay, I use that macro from the sub faq, and it is on both bars
But if I hit dance and the macro too quickly together, it will use gloom instead of strike, and at the end of dance there is a slight moment where it will try to cast strike but can’t because I’m out of dance
You want to use gloom first if you’re running tfd, but I have a stand-alone bind for gloom for that, it is only a problem when not running tfd
is the class trinket better than beacon? even with a higher ilvl 447 vs the 441 beacon, my sim is saying beacon is better.
is it cuz i'm simming target dummy or something?
I feel like both of those trinkets have high variance, beacon Crits are significant and nelth procs are unreliable
Do you have another button for just gloom?
Sim is probably accurate though, I generally just listen to the robot
Aren't there situations where you'd want to gloom even though shadowstrike is available?
Usually class trinket sims higher, it may be stat issue.I suggest to listen bot tho.
Yup, I use that one intentionally for gloom but it’s out of the way and I don’t like pressing that bind alll the time
Like, my gloom-only is ctrl 3, but my 1 button is my macro. Out of dance I’d be spamming ctrl 3 if I didn’t use the macro at all and just set 1 to strike, doesn’t feel right
Though, maybe with the new design on sht maybe I could leave gloom more out of the way
Haven’t messed with sub on ptr yet
it's prob the gear. i'm trying to get crit/mast gear, but some piece I still have a bunch of haste and vers.
Haste is not the worst start for us, but versa is meeh. However we want mastery/crit over other stats usually.
Yeah if you have both trinkets you should def hold on to them, honestly I keep most trinkets I get and re test simming them as my gear changes
I think most do that
You can top gear with different craftet items ( crit/mas ) and enchants/gems and see the difference.
Same here, i think disenchanting/selling trinket is not a good idea
Yeah stats are stats, doesn’t matter which items they come from. Like, just as an example if you are already mastery heavy, beacon’s value may be lower, and if you move some mastery to crit elsewhere in your gear, the mastery on beacon would be more valuable
All about testing what the robot thinks
Also can u pla not sim on target dummy and see the difference, it may change the outcome
It’s worth tinkering with your stats
hey, after reading the faq and checking some logs from lorrgs im a bit confused. Do we not use vanish in the opener anymore if running sepsis? the 4 logs i checked didnt and it also isnt listed in the opener with sepsis. but when you check the improved garrot timings section it states vanihs comes up at around 2.05 into the fight? im assuming now we just dont use vanish the first 2 minutes since we have the sepsis garrot to then also have a full buffed garrot for second deathmark?
Yes
I told Ion to give it to you

Me: omg finally fixed issue with WA, time to send it
"let's just test again to be sure"
nothing works 
Someone in my guild got cloak last night. They then died alot of pulls cuz stamina loss. Lol
ty
we have seen 0 from the boss
the vault decided to bless u
I will manifest this energy for myself next week
I just got it in vault
uh, i mean, heroic version
ah
doing m+ in September smh
gotta get 3700
do you feel your brain smoothing out the closer you get to 3700?
no that just means you're getting old
nah people not owning up to mistakes / shifting blame
pisses me off
or people complaining that something doesent work, but then doesent wanna help fixing it
just expects it to be done

thanks
would you not go IC if the tank pulls small?
I feel trash when pulls are 1-2-3-4 all the time
this thing really has the st of a tank
basically I did 59k dps in NL and then did 100k in FH
Tank pulled giga small in NL so most my ICs were max 4 targets
Im thinking of not going IC at all since tanks dont know how to pull in NL/VP in low keys
IC still good, worst case I’ll be deadass pulled for tanks 
But 59 is still mega mega low
Like lower than our ST in that build 
I've checked the FAQs and the Weakuaras link but havent been able to find one on its own. Does anyone have a Weakaura just for garrote that has some indicator if it is empowered or not?
For crafting priority; how big of a deal is it between getting the toxic patch embellishment on wrist vs belt?
Luxthos has it
You can rip it out
Or just use it
Thank you! I have naowh's ui and it didnt have it but actually just updated the WAs and it has a green glow now 😄 Thank you!
Doesn’t matter what you put it on
There’s no output difference. However If you have crafted in both slots and are killing Mythic sark, the 450 belt could replace your crafted so it may be more convenient to put patch on wrists so you don’t have to deal with it on swapping the piece
Got logs for NL? I'd not drop IC. Problem is probably elsewhere. Yeah it's easy to pump when tank is pulling big, but unless your gear is really low ilvl 59k is pretty low.
I need to do bomb on sark today
never done it
pick it up
stand in two swirlies before it times out
thats it
and watch out before going out
to not go out during dispells, hide etc
Yeah Im like 418 no trinkets but i feel like the difference is way too big
Im basically perma 50k dps in ST
And in that NL we did a ton of it so yeah
Well 418 is pretty low still. I'd just keep gearing and make sure your following thr guide. Taking logs helped me. I used wowanalyzer.com to improve my uptime on garrote/rupture and improve my CP usage (less waste)
On pulls of only 2 or 3 I keep CT up on all targets, garrote on 2 and rupture on one. Then just envenom spam for PB procs
Hello again everyone!
With a lot of input from @slate crown I've reworked a lot of the WA, mostly a behind the scene stuff.
I'm still trying to figure how to I want to make things look better or give you information in the best way possible.
And especially I want to give you more customization options so you can turn off/on exactly what you want to see.
For now, as it was requested to make it appear for longer, I've added a slider in the options so you can control the duration after KB expires.
Still looking to hear more input and suggestions what you'd like to see, give it a try! thanks ❤️ 🐰
Oooooooooooo
This the best? I try to have dots on everything
i actually played around with it the other night, one comment i have since im a freak, to make it more symmetrical KB vs the two small icons gaps etc, just a visual thing
Will do 🫡
(I've also attached them to the big icon as their parents, so if you move it by mistake instead of the group, they won't get disogranized
Somethings I want to add is an indication when to refresh Shiv even if you've already have to applied.
afaik, if you use shiv before KB, you use shiv at 6s on KB, right?
Cause i've noticed if you wait for shiv to drop off to re-apply it, even if it's for a fraction of a second, sometimes you actually miss the KB tick.
oh boy onto Neltharion o.o
Could someone take a glance at this sim: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hspuC2szEojDftQuquNJ48
I'm kinda confused why its saying that every OCE choice is an upgrade over what I've currently got which is the emerald one.
(That includes the Emerald one being an upgrade over itself)
I mean, it's an advanced sim so you had to have fed into it what you're simming. I don't get your confusion.
could we imune black hole on sarka with CoS? (in MM) i'm pretty sure it works in hm
Hmm, i'm not super sure what i'm doing to make this happen but when 2mins comes around i have so much time left imp garrote from the most resent sepsis. as doing sepsis asap in opener but it's putting it 10 secs into the fight.
I would have expected that /simc would capture which buff was currently activated in the profile that it outputs.
Are you delaying your second sepsis or using it right on cd
basically on CD
on pull sep was 8.5 secs second 1:39.8
Sepsis 8.5s into the fight seems slightly late
But either way on your second dm you vanish to extend the garrotes from your second sepsis
Example of a mag I did was sepsis 1:34 dm 2:05 vanish 2:14
ok perfect! that is the timing i was getting
sep is slightly delayed as i'm using beacon so adds a few secs
Ah gotcha that would make more sense
yeh only recently swapped back from sub so never "needed" class trinket or chromatic was hoping but we're prolonging lockout now instead of reclearing
someone got me sick at the wedding last weekend 
Like sick? Or 

this nelth heart thing is actually arse
Anyone got an actual good assa pov of sarka?
Could check whispyrs vods
Link?
Its on his twitch
Revenge time
I know
and keep DM'in when he jumps up in p3
Yea just kill the boss in 5 mins and you can copy his vod
That's why I'm asking povs my drunk friend fywjfh
Hahah
Any helpful link to get a good pars?
proc pb on smallies
I guess without traming in adds assa still > subt for sarka?
assa is more boss dmg
sub is more add dmg
thats about the difference of the two
I mean funneling as subt in sark
both specs blow at that
Would assa still > dmg?
Its back on the PTR so the discussion will go away 
Compared to the all time favourite #tww-assassination discussion of SnD 
I don’t wanna go in there right now they’re screaming about having to talent into aoe
But what about improved instant poison?

Just imagine all the joyous conversation you'll have when the recommended builds dont run cttc 
At least EP isn’t in the way right 
did someone mention
SnD 
covid test was positive 
i think we need to send this everytime its mentionned
I agree 100%
SnD? 
You heard wrong 

Right*
as assa is there any boss u rlly wanna change talents?
On assault you change spec currently 🙃
nah
nah on assault full st
even for parse logs in echo/sarka we still same talents?
Our parsings strats are huh
Proc more bozo and pray for pbomb on adds
Mfs asking an outlaw main 


finally p3 progress on echo
yeah kinda, p3 doesn't seem that hard
is dtb better than kingsbane for single target?
In 10.1.7 yes
yooo they gave rogue a mass kick ? xD
10 second carnage!?! dont tempt me with a good time
????
uh, this is already a nerfed IC 🤔
let's say it's 8 targets.
you're gonna have to use garrote 3 times. then use rupture 3 times to hit everyone.
instead of getting all of them immidiatly.
but anywy, that's for #tww-assassination
Thing is you have it a lot more instead of once every 45sec
I mean in theory yes. If you cant reapply stealth then it's a longer cd
Well but u cant balance around the worst scenario
You probably gonna get restealths in every key, if u dont then well
Same that happens when a tank pulls small when destro has everything up etc
Any tips/tricks for mythic sark as assa rog? I also asked to take black hole in p3 with cloak.
U mean for dmg or for what
Idk I kinda don't save CDs they naturally align with adds, but anyways you full ST boss
Pray for pbombs on adds
That's atleast what I do in sark mm
Thank u, how is the DM usage
U better ask whispyr or stealthi if they are not drunk enough
Xd i m drunk soo would work
Or scana, dunno if they are around here
I saw whisp was suggesting vanish after sepsis to keep more imp gar on sark
But i am not 100 sure
In phase one, you use vanish when the empowered rupture from sepsis is about to wear off, afterwards you mostly use things on CD
in phase two vanish will come up in time to garrote both sark and the big add (2nd one)
Oh nice info, thank u. Also i asked to take black hole p3, which means i need to keep my stacks low or 0 i think
Any tips on managing that ?
only way to do that is to reset your stacks by going down
don't get hit by blue swirlies. there's no other way
you can't keep it at 0 though, there's aoe abilities that give you stacks
Okay so i ll practice and learn about it, we still need around 100/150 pulls anyway atleast
before shaking his hand, keep in mind if you go down, you're leaving a hole for people to fall through 
it's not really good to go down unless it's planned
Okay i still shake hand but wont let it go now 😛
So my RL ll give details i guess
I mean thats the only way to bait the blackhole on you
then its planned
So probably i ll go down at some point before 3rd or 4th black hole
I dont know much about p3 on mythic yet, i mean know the theory but in practice
Thanks for the help guys
usually the person thats assigned to do the immune also just does a bomb
weird it wouldnt be a mage or a hunter tho
Just read the tier set review for assassination. Thanks, Whispyr.

Did the beacon crit. Did sophic and slash or call proc during cds
Did your kill time go under 5 but not under 4?
I know running sims is the ultimate answer but is there a write up on target value for stats somewhere?
super fair
Did my Weakaura for Garrote break or have I been drinking?
both?
Is there an easy fix for someone who's old and doesn't understand how to code?
idk. what broke? what isn't it doing? im not logged into your game I cant see it
1 sec, will link pic
You'll notice the Rupture has the duration timer number correctly displaying as usual, but for some reason the Garrote timer number no longer shows up
I haven't changed anything, so... /confused
did you update addons recently? sometimes for some reason it can change a setting. I dont know the settings of that one.. I would relog maybe and check. Or check in display for the WA, if Hid timer text is on or off and try toggling to the other and testing. or if you havent made changes to that one re-importing. or look at rupture WA vs the Garrote one and see in display what may be different. Conditions should be similar too I would think
I did update all my addons, so I guess that potentially could have done it. I did try relogging; that didn't fix it
Where would I find the "HID timer text" setting?
idk if you use them but sometimes Elvui or OmniCC can mess with the WA timers
let me check if I have those, I don't believe I do
enable swipe has to be checked for the rest to show
idk someone smarter with WAs than me probably knows better
Okay sec, I'll see
Enable Swipe was off, but I turned it on and that still didn't fix the Garrote timer
I assume then for some reason one of the text turn on conditions isn't working but i dont know why it would have randomly stopped
I am truly cursed. Thanks for trying though
If notter or one of the better WA people pop in they might help. Im just bored camping a rare that doesn't exist so Im catching discord
@thick sail are you on PTR
No, just in the base game
Weird
Yeah
oh its Whispyrs fault
It works for me on retail
But broke on ptr
I’m gonna try fixing it tonight
And pushing a new version
I’ll let you know
Okay! In the interim, I will attempt to do our single weekly M+ without a Garrote timer. Wish me luck, my lads
And thanks Whisp, let me know if you figure anything out
I can link you one you can just slap on your UI for your m+ lol
But I’m probably swapping off luxthos thing
I did
Cause it’s caused me nothing but headaches
Im glad I did
If I changed that about my WA, how much different would it look visually? I am old and I don't adapt to change well
lmao
It’ll look about the same
eh youll be fine without the numbers for m+ im sure
I’ll make it as close to the current as possible
A true scholar you are
do you have a plan for swapping off
Okay, I will try to do this M+ without the timer and see how it goes, ping me if you're able to get the thing working
I do
Will be at least 5-6 hours, I’m stuck at work :P
okiedokie
Quite understandable, no rush obviously
It’s the one you keep linking 
I was gonna say I can link mine, I have some PTR stuff added in and removed some of the extra glows, but you can start with that one if you want
big fan
holy shit if this bird doesnt spawn
Im gonna be sad
Can always use mine 
Yeh probably will
Oh, the one Zar was linking *is * mine
Ye
yeah it is

I ain’t using that kb wa though smile
I was only an advisory role (and enabler) in that venture
100%
I try to reduce stuff, I even set my damage meter alpha to 0 while in combat, minimize screen noise. I think about arrangement on screen by imaginging my eyeline movements and what information is passed over to be useful, or what will be distracting. Do progress bar lines bleed into icons if they're too close? Etc
when you're making split second decisions, minor things like that can add up
OR what can be visually loud enough to be readable with only your peripheral vision
Finally got my CE, with The famous both tanks dead and tanking the boss with evasion lol
Whispyrs UI when hes not streaming
Yeah I’m a big fan of clear information without much clutter
Don’t need to track things I won’t play around
Don’t need to track the same thing in 3 places
My ui has gotten more cluttered the last 2 tiers
Gotta trim the fat off again
Yeah like Idk why I track EP except I always have so its a comfort square now
One of the reasons I stick with wow's base ui for actionbars and unit frames is it doesn't let me slide into cluttered territory, at least not as easily
sure you can fuck it up but its scope is limited which just keeps things simple, as simple as they need to be
Based
I dropped elvui this expac as well
Only problem is I can't disable bar paging but that seems obvious enough that I'm sure they'll get to it
just an annoyance when setting up a character
That's all I want I don't want dragonriding and stealth to suddenly be different and I have to keep them all in sync if I change something on my primary
I also hate my stealth bar being different
I found freaking detection on my stealth bar the other day
How long has that been there?
pog
From back when it could proc lucid dreams passive or some degen shit
oh god I forgot
just timed a BH 20 as assas. the pain is real. 10.2 cant get here soon enough.
the good ol days
Dude that was so funny
echoing void from 8.3
What if the next expac isn’t a boat expac, but a BotE expac
You feel me
i hear iris is better 
BOAT LEAGUE?
Only for baboons

Boat league, best poe league ever released
Jez too busy screenshotting a random chest in the middle of a d4 zone

Writing an article about it
We're going to board the vindicar and velen is going to give us a light-flavoured BotE borrowed power ability and it's going to be lit

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
realizing I didn't test the garrote wa with the new IC
it works
sick
So I'm obviously aware I can see the number of interrupts in the Damage Meter. But is there a way to see how many spells my Garrote Silence and my Gouge interrupt?
(I'm assuming no)
nothing more real and true and based has ever been said
I thnk if you stop a cast with iron wire it might show up but the prevented casts will not
I have not been able to figure out how to show stops that interupt anywayre but just cc's
I don't think there's any event calls for that type of thing
kinda true but outlaw fun specd
spec
by no means am I qualified to actually awnser anything but like thats my understanding
It feels good using Iron Wire in M+, it's really nice utility, but it's hard to show people what it's doing
I think I tried to do something like that a long long time ago, basically having to watch every single cast bar and if it is ever stopped, then also be tracking all spell effects on them, which was the first after the stopped cast
With a meter
because if you garrote, then someone stuns the target, need to differentiate those two, which came in the combat log first
Gets messy pretty quick, though I haven't looked at it in a long time, it was just one of my first learner projects for wow stuff
I'm not aware that there's anything that tracks the fact I stopped that cast
yeah its more of like.. Idk your group should just realize how 8 targets not casting and also doing decreased dam for a few seconds its bigly
Ditto Gouge
So, I love it in the dungeons where mobs have faces
I get tilted trying to use it on mobs where I can't tell its ass from its face
It's hard enough to track 700 mechanics + affixes, then also trying to do my rotation, avoid damage, and then also see an amorphous blob mob casting and not knowing where its fucking eyes are to Gouge
i just run around in circles spamming gouge till it worked
That's generally what it boils down to, but when the floor is covered in shit it can be a little risky
thats what cheat death is for
quick question regarding secondary stats; is there a breakpoint for certain stats or is it just sim yourself and see which is better?
you just sim yourself.
Just sim
k ty
If you’re starting from no sims yet and a fresh alt, sims will probably point you towards getting haste on like 3-4 pieces, but otherwise everything else should be crit mastery. Only saying that as a baseline if you’re starting from nothing. Sims will have the best actual answer
swapping to rogue for raid/next tier and planning out crafts, seeing some logs with haste on crafts but its written as 3rd prio, so i was wondering if there was a baseline point you'd want but if its just sims ill craft one thing and recraft later if needed
One or two pieces of haste craft usually is kinda where the sims puts bis
Just ends up that way with how the other gear looks like
bro man i love this spec wtf ive never seen this number before
so guys how is assa doing rn? 😄 I am making rog alt and I always liked assa but when I see them lying in the bottom of dpss in M+ I am starting to question my decision :D. So thats why I am here to ask how the spec feels rn bcs allegedly in 10.2. it looks like a solid spec
i mean sub rogue and assassin rogue can use same stats Crit + mastery the difference is haste that you want but like rn i am trying to get 22 in every key and debating on switching to sub. I love assassin though its just kinda tough competing with meta group as sin.
The picture i linked up above was a 22 brackenhide and the shaman did like 50k more overall and i feel like if i was sub i would have been wayu closer to that
finally making the switch to assassination and having a bit of a hard time with the sheer amount of buttons to press. I get it that the opener is muscle memory and eventually I'll get there, but I was wondering what macros one can use in order to thin the piano playing?
(For example I'm using Deathmark+vanish+garrote on a cast sequence since they're always supposed to be cast in that sequence; I do have another garrote-only bind)
I looked into casting envenom+echoing reprimand but since they're both on GCD it won't do.
I have also looked into mutilate/ambush macros but they're not possible.
What are some tips and tricks you guys can suggest?
!ambush
Ambush/Mutilate Macro:
This should be seen as a "lazy" option, and is not recommended. It can be hard to control and requires a third-party macro addon to expand the games base functionality. We recommend ALWAYS keybinding ambush (either with a modifier, or an entirely different key)
You can macro Ambush to Mutilate using a advanced macro addon.
Further Explanation/Details:
#assassination message
only macros i use are mouse over garrote/rupture macros
personally i dont even find assa to be button bloated
and i dont think there is anything that you could really macro, since you dont always vanish after dm
you dont always envenom after er
you can cast sequence the opener sure, but you hit the 2m mark of the fight, what are you gonna do now when dm comes up, your opener macro is of no use
- you odn't always vanish after dm, but having vanish+garrote tied to it when available shouldn't be an issue?
- I meant envenom>reprimand, not the other way around
- I do not intend to castsequence the opener
it has more abilities I think, but since they can be chained together, I can survive off of two keys (Q+E) for cooldowns, whereas for sin, with dm, er, and sepsis, that means getting a 3rd bind for on-cooldown abilities, which I find a waste.
r u raiding or m+?
he said sepsis, so im assuming raid
raiding sin has like 3 less buttons then m+ lol
raiding, for m+ I find sub to be ahead
Sub loses in the most important aspect tho
1)i mean, but why would you macro garrote, you have garrote on a keybind already, you have to have vanish on a keybind already too, so whats the point of a 3rd keybind for a macro of them together?
2) uhm i dunno, why tho? put er on a useless palce that you press every 45 seconds without thinking
3) good
you can macro bomb to mutilate/envenom
- I find it easier to press 3xQ than Q+ShiftMouse5+§
- I'll see how far i can reach, have my keybinds filled up until F and always had bad fingers
neither do you need throw knife really, or blind or kidneyshot, nelf ability also probably doesnt have use inside a raid encounter since you cant stealth, if you have to evasion you probably deadge
yea i just keep it all one anyway
my keybinds go up to 5, then i have shift and ctrl on 1-4 and qrfg
but for him theres no reason there should be button bloat
half of those i probably wouldnt even need, its just good to be there
probably one of the least button classes
thanks for the tips guys!
only thing that fecked my head up was having 2 covenant abilities, cause i used to have covenant on f
now i just put sepsis where i have CT usually
well not much, you have to get used to having multiple cooldowns, but you dont press them so often that i would see the problem as button bloat. It just takes getting used to not being able to macro shit
also dont macro tea to dm, seen that shit too often from new assa players
dont need blind, kidney shot, poisonsed knife, fan only for sark and p3 nelth but i mean mutilate still works if u really dont want fan. Also yes tea is by itself. dont want to waste it at all
you can in theorie argue for all those buttons on why you could use it
blind/kidney for the adds if your group is shit
knife for when you cant go to boss because going down and you wanna get points
A good thing is to make use ot modifer macros for things you hardly press so for example.
i have rupture on 1 but on Alt-1 is slice so it's a bit awkward at the start of the pull but that's it. or in your case maybe ctrl as i see you have binds on shift and alt already.
thats one thing i never understood, why would you make a macro for 1 and alt+1, when you can just make it a normal keybind that you always see?
i just prefer limiting the number of abilities on screen
also keeps it out of my mind so it's a modified finisher rather than another ability.
for example i've got kick as normal 6
mouseover kick as alt 6 but having two keybinds for it is weird to me.
or from stealth cheapshot is on 4 but sometimes i wanna kidney out of stealth so have that under 4 as an alt.
the way i've got my UI is more around the location is a function rather than a keybind so to speak.
hmm aight so no real reason besides personal preference
ye
would need to ad another row above to fit everything in and i'm 30 so need things a bit bigger now xD
would have fit 6 rows into that same space 10 years ago
some of my stuff is also pvp setup that's why i have dead keybinds
that looks cluttered af, probably still more optimised than my setup xD
but im pretty sure i have the same amount of slots used as you, only that i dont have shroud on an actual keybind, its just on the right where i click stuff like poisons and whatnot
and i have 2 rows instead of 4, but i have them side by side
also no pvp abilities, no focus macro
yeh mines based around my mouse as it's 12 buttons it used to be lower CDs top bigger ones bottem. then that didn't really work anymore so flipped them and now using WA so the whole thing is a bit pointless i could basically hide them
imagine having a mouse with buttons
i didnt bother reading your keybinds, just looked at the picture 
yo, havent played assa since start of bfa, what are the stats assa is going for and also your thoughts on 10.2 m+ viability?
crit/mastery mostly with some haste when the robot tells you
could be top rogue spec, could be bottom rogue spec, but you will for sure be able to play it in m+ and this time without feeling like a deadweight
eh, coming from outlaw ig i need 2nd set 
ye
basically
outlaw/sub can work together
assa/sub can work together
That was alaways my problem with multi dmg specs
yea too bad sub is the most boring
for me atleast
i mean crit mastery outlaw works i nkeys
but first just get a feeling for assa with your current gear and stats, dont waste your money on new gear if the gameplay loop doesnt fit well with you
no i hear that.
i wanted to give it a try this season after only playing assa in season 1.
gave it a go. it was fun while learning it. but it got pretty boring being so scripted no thinking involved or atleast it felt like that no clue why i stuck it out so long
i mean sub is fun when you hit a fat st in aoe
and its fun to turn a few braincells off from playing assa in keys to going sub in keys
i mean yeh aoe was pretty fun.
keys were great with it. i played sub in keys in s1 and s2 as i enjoyed it. sorta nervous about it in s3 though
indeed playing assa in keys will feel so weird but looking forward to it
as long as i dont get whispers if im outlaw/sub im gonna be happy
hey guys im new to rogue looking to get into it for new season. any suggestions for which spec i should go?
mostly preference in the end, you gotta look at the playstyle of the spec and see for yourself
just pick what looks the coolest for you
im gonna pick you, what now
😳
Assassination = methodical planning style dot gameplay (the coolest cuz poisons and slitting people throats on the daily)
Subtlety = scripted but bursty game play surrounding micro CDs
Outlaw = ZOMG ALL THESE BUTTONS ME SMASH gameplay if you have bad wrists i don't recommend!
correct me if my definitions are off xD
sounds about right, you forgot to include that ass is the coolest one, its fine otherwise
aight now its good
i will say assassination's ability names are proper fucked up xD
talent build names gonna be fun too
well now sub and assa eviserate is pretty evil also
like we literally torture people to do damage xD
i mean we are not some fairytale dragon femboys flying around with our colored hairs and whatnot
kinda surprised tho that they didnt adjust ability names to be more family friendly
they probably wanted to but i genuinely thing that would kill off the whole sneaky killer vibe
And how is assassination looking for 10.2 (and is there any point in starting to learn it now or is it too much change to be worth my time)
Like if someone overheard a rogue rotation being called out with enthusiasm i wouldn't be surprised if they called the police xd

This is so weird since every quest tells u to kill people all the time
fun, are you looking to play the most meta spec? No cant tell yet if its worth in that case
ass is looking amazing in 10.2 but i wouldn't learn too much just yet as you'll just confuse yourself. but making yourself aware of the changes isn't a bad idea
are we killing people tho, or animals 
learning the 10.1.7 version of assassination would be better as most guide will be based how the rotation is changing based on that
I think we kill both
i have no idea tbh, last time i did any dragonflight quest was DF launch i think? not sure i did anything else
oh wait nvm i did the loam or whatever place quest to get to raid
im dumb
but i have no idea what the quests made me do
be careful where you say you're excited about it
Race of your charas?
Right now?
ye i dont mind that, those are just animals (yep im a hater of dracthyr)
im night elf currently
best
NE assasin
If i ever play outlaw i ll be a draenei
outlaw i need a good pirate race
tauren outlaw and then the biggest sword you can find
most obnoxious race with the most obnoxious spec
the freehold place humans, forgot their names, i dont know race names
nah worgen/kul tiran/human
Kul tiran AKA fat humans
shit ass racials tho
big boned*
Racials should get buffed/nerfed tbh, im not really into deleting them
racials dont matter
i'd have laughed so hard if they made male kul tirans be the tiny bean pole ones instead of teh chunky boys xD
tell that to night elf
if they do, you are in the top 1% and you wouldnt even think about going something else
me undead, me no play nelf, me happy eating you after i win our duel
triggering people with an extra vanish is pretty fun though
given how triggered people get about vanish in general
plays sub, has 3 vanishes, mage blinks around you 5 times, sheeps you, freezes you
"how many fucking vanishes do they have. FUCK"
They matter all the time lol
Yeah if u are gingi u can time +30 with the worst racial
i love the people who pay to race change due to dps then still do worse than the worst race class combo
+30 is top 1% for me
But if u are not, u better go dwarf to skip half the mechanics and make +25 easier
+30 is top like 0.05%
ye whatever, you get my point tho
They matter if u are struggling with the content you are doing
i was top 1% in apex legends and there is still such a huge difference between that and top 0.1 percent
You ll survive a lot of times just by being a dwarf
i guess, my take on racials will still stay the same. If you are not pushing to be the best, racials are just a quick skip towards getting better
Dwarf shouldnt remove bleeds nor magic, its still a 10% dr which is insane
yea im thinking about race swapping my brew to dwarf
paying for a race change 
hes 444 i am not re gearing
honestly wish blizzard char servives were way way cheaper but even then it's not worth
what keys are you pushing
Dwarf is giga op Im so surprised it didnt get nerfed yet
rogue and brew rn are 22. i started playing in season 2 on brew and once i hit 443 i started doing alts. my rogue just did like every 20 today
?
then its fine
what do u guys think of zandalarii trolls for pirate outlaw look?
Only changing your race when it is "needed" is weird
Its still a big upgrade all the time
but will i really pay 20 euros to make my 22 easier?
I agree dps diff between races are normally very small...but dwarf racial? That will save your life a lot
i think tanking racials actually help vs dps racials
It depends on how much you like your race + how much 20e is for u
Like kul tiran, dwarf, taurens are crazy
i dont mind racechanges for tmog reasons, but for some def/dps gain in a 22 im a hater
lookin good
i dont like the look of my blood elf as monk*
you could make a test character too and see if you have a pirate mog for it
i honestly think people do more damage on a race they like to play as compared to one the numbers say they should play
before you start lvling your troll rogue and realise most of your mogs wouldnt fit him
welp 20 euros can make your life easier in that case xD
if i wanna look like another race i just use the race change pad thingy
i forgot its name
I raceswapped all my charas to alliance the moment they added cross faction
Except 1
i will say i'd like to try voidelf but purely for that weird void shift thing. but my rogue has always been nelf so won't be changing for a cosmetic thing.
hi, i'm dont usually play assa but I want to try it on sark for prio damage on boss (or big add in p2). On p2 and p3 during adds phase, should I build with mutilate or with fok?
you use fok to build on 3+
Fan is good if u can hit 3 or more of the adds
if there are 3 or more, you press fok, if not, you press mutilate
thanks
do I use fok to build on you

is oxi doing the dirty again in my christian family friendly assa channel
Typical morning in #assassination it seems, god damn it

also oxi when did you fully embrace monke?
morning? im close to ending my workday
wat
i just started mine bruh
filthy other time zone person

RETURN TO MONKE
