how do you get out of bed in the morning
no no
I just have cheap shot on same bind as fok for whatever reason
rest are same
where's cheap on sub
lets see
think its where kidney is
WHAT

more than I cheap shot
yeh
cheap shot is absolute last resort
KS is a huge stun
I use cheap shot in dance over kidney to re-apply find weakness 
its probably a relic of the old talent trees
think were fine for weekly20 either way
I dont remember the last time i ever cheap shot in pve
Yeah I think I've used CS once as an extreme last resort on an incorp week
given you're a living fossil from the mesozoic period I'd believe it
otherwise I've always had something to use first
wasnt there a talent where you could cheap shot for free in the utility tree or some shit
ehhhhm
it doesent
If you’re not using a 12 button mouse and don’t have mouse button 1 kidney, mouse button 2 cheap. And mouse button 3 gouge youre doing it wrong.
well it used to idk can't you just play along for once
??????
smh man
you never play this
But we weeeeiiiilll
we haven touched that talent all of df
if talented into fw
why are you even green
which you never are
I mean ify ou're Sin and taking dance you will have FW, and in 10.2 Sub will all have FW 🤓
unless you are one of the cringe outlaw players
what if I am
i know you arent
I could be though
its his other stream
whats bound for you on sub where garrote is whisp
Whispyr plays sub?
rasz prison
shadowstrike
think mine is shuriken storm
so gloom where mut is?
I have mut 1, garrote 2, shiv 3, rupture 4
sub is gloom 1, strike 2, rupture 3, evisc 4
wheres envenom
e
makes sense
e for envenom obvi

mut 1, rup 2. env 3. shiv 4
gloom 1. strike 2. evis 3. sectech 4
ok stealthi I have a question dont judge too much
if I unbind rupture in dance is that more wrong, more correct or neutral
e for envenom
yeah on live
i have fucked keybinds between sub/assa
I
outlaw/sub is basically identical

im just old you know, swapping stuff around too much is -ev
I have to use existing binds id just forget if I made new ones
i tried swapping my assa stuff to be more in line with my sub
but i just kept fcking it up
so i got annoyed and swapped back
if I have to play like ct, kb, sbs on council im gonna cry
but I also have no clue what good aoe talents looks like on ptr
for sure
only 3rd boss we were scaled to what like normal ilvl
and people killed it
probably 1-5 pulls on live
ingra healing mech overlaps are pretty crazy for 2nd boss ngl
but maybe on live she just dies so fast that you can just do them last and not have to do them
looked spice
im rlly lookin forward to the dragon flying boss
seemed very interesting from our testing
I feel so old and cooked that my brain can't unlearn QE strafe. I even have A and D bound to abilities + modifiers, as many of you do with q and e.
that sounds fine/normal
alot of people also just rebind strafe to AD and use QE as binds
Can you guys chill with the keybind shaming? 
no I have a shame kink. make fun of my wonky binds
🙂
I only have one single bar.
but they're all macros, so with shift:
7 = F, everthing after is on mouse buttons
All those shift modifier guys 
u need it tho
not enough binds without mod
do u mean u only have 1 bar and when u press shift it switches to another bar?
yes
wait that sounds awesome
well, not to "another bar", it's the same bar, it's just that everything on it are macros
yea like it would be bar 1 bar 2 and shift switches to bar 2?
No, it's just 1 bar.
huh
the buttons themselves switch
I use alt 
I mean you can do modifiers in macros so yeah
i do both
Seems like a pain if you want to experiment with stuff
wdym?
I only use alt modifiers for like, stuff that doesn’t require a target, I’m always nervous of tab targeting while pressing an alt modifier spell if I’m not careful about it
Suddenly discord is on my screen
you can write a macro like:
/use mutilate
/use [mod:shift] ambush
and then when you hold shift mutilate will become ambush
I can't use alt, because if i accidently hold alt+shift together it switched the language of my system, and then none of my keybinds work
‘’’ /cast [mod:shift] Ambush; Mutilate ‘’’
save yourself return characters 
so whats the difference between just setting ambush to shift + 1 bind
Ugh fuck mobile keyboard
Less readable to me
there is no difference
Means there’s only one bar on screen at once
But you could also hide the bar
yeah

you could
entirely possible, you'd need an addon for it though
but the functionality for that exists in stuff like elvui and bartender
seems like a lot less work
yeh I mean if you don't want to get an addon this would be the solution
if you only want 1 bar
You can set keybinds on normal action bars, and you can hide base Ui bars now in combat and such
So if you didn’t want the bar to update icons or whatever when you press your mod, can do without
true
We’re all describing the same apple with different words, all of it works
so I guess its the most efficient way to do it, if you want 1 bar to show, and you don't want to use addons, and you want the icons to still update
i mean i just couldnt do macro. i change my buttons around all the time
yeah, it's just the way i'm used to doing it
I personally cba using macros for stuff
I think the only macro I have right now is potion macro'd to deathmark
i hate macros lol
Tricks macro?
make bar look ugly
and I think a mouseover on tricks but I'm honestly not even sure I have that anymore
i'm too cheap to do that
I used to use that weakaura that auto-picks a tank
what do you mean
but then in raid my tanks always swapped who was getting aggro first
so I got rid of it cause it was annoying
i only use the tricks WA in dungeons. doesn't work well in raid
on the bar it says in white words what the title is
or like doesnt show tool tip of right thing
I guess my most useful macro is for mount/dragon mount with one button
or like when i dont have the thing talaented its still there
you need to add: #showtooltip at the start of the macro, and then it will.
yes i do
but lets say i do /cast dragon fire
/cast Rushing wind and it will show for the dragonfire
there's a macro for that?
yeah, gimme a sec i'll get it for you
wdym for mount? u just click it or press the button its on
I've just been doing it through favorite mounts
There’s one that runs a script that I’ve been using, you specify mount ids per condition like swimming old flying dragonriding ground etc
well yeah, not a macro
May be what notter is grabbing
but i put it on a macro to run it
/click [nocombat] MountJournalSummonRandomFavoriteButton
what does yours do?
im so confused on what this does
can u not just drag the icon onto your bar and click it
it's the summon favorite mount button, just in a macro
It’s a /run macro that runs through conditions based on what area you’re in
its a macro that legit just uses this button that's already built in
but why
And you give it which mount ids you want in which area
great question
So you don’t have to use favorite mount
cause i use the same button for guage when i'm in combat
I found this video and have just used this https://youtu.be/XgHNMOXYp1g?si=heCihI5cAMgx1ig5
Here's the macro! Make sure to watch the video so you know what ID's to replace!
✨Non-Druid Version✨
/run local id; if IsSubmerged() then id = 1654 elseif IsUsableSpell(360954) then id = 1591 elseif IsFlyableArea() then id = 1282 else id = 847 end; C_MountJournal.SummonByID(id)
✨Druid Version✨
/dismount [mounted]
/cancelform
/run local id; if I...
So I can keep my favorites list for stuff I want to snap to top like vendor mount

And I don’t want to mount with summon random
That seems way more trouble then just using favorite mounts
I want my transmog mount in my favorite list so it’s snapped to the top, but I’d prefer to never actually ride it if I need a ground mount
also not much more trouble for someone like u or me mr notter KB weakaura
or just you know use the random mount button
and have mounts favorited
See my last msg
well you can still have your favorites for it
having one of the drakes favorited and one flying mount won't rly make a diffrence
everytime i'm getting a new mount i want, i would need to seatch it's ID and editing the script. that's unhinged 
Oh I never get new mounts I want tho
trading post reward from this month?
i have a lot of favorted ones, cause i like getting random mounts. i just don't favor really ugly or annoying mounts
I bet you could make a weakaura which updates your mount macro with the currently mounted mount ID so no lookups necessary. Hrmmm
i am curios now
do you always open the mount window and use the trader mounts from there
because from what you say, i would assume you do
wouldn't it be easier to just add long boy or the transmog mount to your action bars?
or make a opie with all the trading items/mounts
that's two bars
no its same bar
like
one bar on scren in combat
and u just flip between them with bind
so exactly what u have just without macro
this is actually pretty interesting
its not shown but its on mb5
I have like 6 extra bars
Just use litemount
Beacon is a bit early technically but yeah rest is fine
After the rupture before the sepsis
Sims don’t typically min-max opener sequences gcd by gcd except in extreme cases
opener is fine, try to get a non beacont rink
does the ER before rupt vs Mut before Rupture and then ER after DM make any big diff ?
technically mut before rupture and er in dm is a gain
but it's not massive
most people er > rup > sep > dm due to qol / er syncing
does anyone have the IDs for poisons so i can blacklist them from my nameplates. i cant find them on wowhead
Just use the names
That is the opener that the rotation addons try to make you do - I’ve tried tested that one and the one that whispyr has posted and they are very very close, but most of the time the one whispyr lists very slightly outperforms it for me. It’s minimal though.
Is there an area of the discord that has weak auras etc? I use Aefnar, and checked the WoWhead. Just wondered if there was any minute interesting ones people had :3
Thats because rotation addons are weird
Agreed, they are generally accurate but leave a little to be desired. I like using them when I first start playing a class and then after I have some reps under my belt getting rid of them
You mean like general ones or like the afenar one just different?
Some spicy ones that arn't generally arouind maybe etc
idnno im digin
They sometimes arent accurate at all. Whispyr gets grey hair everytime someone He coaches is using them
Also depends on the class a lot too. Like BM hunter one is actually perfect. But it’s a 3 button rotation basically so if you need one for that class you’re in trouble haha
hello.. noob here.. do i need some haste or just make it 1% haste?
haste is our 3rd best stat
anything from like
0-20% is fine as long as you're not losing a bunch of crit or mastery for it
but it's easier to just sim you character and see what the robot says is best
it will normally be pretty marginal
It was like a 1.5k dps increase for me to swap to crit/haste neck from crit/mast
Just do what the robot says
Do not look at stats in-game
My best stats are haste/vers
For now
Might change with a single gear swap or talent swap
hello what poisons do i take as assa?
Amp > deadly > instant > atrophic/crippling/numbing
Faq channels of each spec have a weakauras section in them
Otherwise weakauras people usually just share their stuff to the channels directly, there are a few good ones out there
So I do this for the transmog mount, I drag it to my bar, that was perhaps a bad example. I was half asleep and that's what came to mind (though it is still helpful having it pinned). The main reason is new characters, which I create a lot of, and I want to easily be able to grab the transmog mount and the heirloom sub-level 10 mount. I hate that mount, I hate the motorcycle, but I want it pinned to grab easily when I make a new character, which, as I said, I do often. But I don't want it to show up in my random pool either.
Also, having a macro like this lets me have a different mount layout per character. I always use the bear for ground but I like the Kazzara mount on my warrior, slitherdrake on my rogue, Thaldrassis mount for my mage, archmage's disc for my mage for old flying.
just fyi, you don't need to justify it. You can customize the game as you like
I personally just don't need a extra macro for mounts, i use the random mount thing and just have the things i need favorited
The ones in the FAQs are typically full suite packages, but the sub elements within them can be helpful or spicy. Also some written by myself, @gaunt moat , and @honest vessel are floating around if you look for our messages. And maybe some others
if it functunally does not fit your use case, thats perfectly fine
thank you :3
I went to sleep, woke up, and we're still talking about his mounts script 
No no the discussion stopped, it was waiting just for you 
Should I use a macro for mount then ?

I stick my mounts I like on Opie
only correct answer
If you get a BS proc during sepsis does ambush overwrite the sepsis buff?
not if it is the proc but dont acidentally spam it and then eat the sepsis buff after the proc is used
ok thanks
can 10.2 release already i'm tired of farm
But they sure would be nice
!log
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/
anyone running megadungeon today for nick of time? i have the dagger already and just need 1 crest fragment if anyone wants to swap me in lol
Gets better once healers figure it out
https://fr.warcraftlogs.com/reports/L7QAdYW4Zhzg6jqf#fight=2&type=damage-done my log seems to be low or in wowanalyzer i dont have do to much error. what can i do for more dps ? luck with crit ?
You’re seemingly allergic to using shiv during Deathmark
i use my shiv with sepsis but yes not really during deathmark
Yeah
So you’re using shiv on the less important one
And not the most important one
If you played it correctly you’d have shiv for both
But right now you’re 1/2 and it’s not even the right 1/2
Ans 2 shivs during deathmark is useless ?
2 shivs during deathmark is what you're supposed to do
Looking at Lorrgs, it's suprising how many top logs don't even use shiv correctly with sepsis
no offence but the rotation section for sin rogue on wowhead is garbage for knowing whent he best times for Shiv are
I know Whispyr said earleir you want 2 Shiv in Deathmark, but the guide says "at least one, and keep it on cd" lol
And that's OBVIOUS Whispyr. But it doesn't say anywhere that you want 2.
you can't get 2 every time
the timing simply doesn't add up that way
but it's something to strive for
1 is fine most of the time
as long as you have it for deathmark and for sepsis
the guide still says you should be using a shiv with sepsis and a shiv with deathmark
and people don't even do that
I found myself struggling to figure out good timings for things with Sin, and ultimately just ended up looking at Lorgg but that doesn't tell me WHY people do things a certain way. And the guide wasn't the most helpful
I'm seeing tops logs that use shiv before sepsis, making it useless.
is it fine to just send shiv right away? or do you want to line it up with the end of the deathmark?
o7
like what
Shiv timings and the fact that it doesn't say anywhere in the rotation section that it's preferred to use 2 Shiv casts to cover the entirety of Deathmark, when to swap from Envenom to CT for AoE situations, how to work Vanish into your opener (if at all) instead of holding it. Whether we bothered trying to play around the tier set at all, given that it has a bonus amp effect at the end of DM
sorry for late reply, got distracted by my cat lol
The shiv timings should be covered by "always have a charge of shiv ready to cast with sepsis/deathmark". Yes it doesn't say to have 2, but that's fairly semantic and minor
I have an entire section on envenom vs CT and how to think about when to use which, as well as a note in the multi target rotation section about when to envenom vs crimson tempest
There's a section talking about improved garrote and the effects that can proc it, mentioning to "make sure you plan your cooldowns ahead of time to avoid wasting uptime on the empowered garrote"
the tier set part
has its own header
When to send the first vanish was confusing for me, do i just hold till second deathmark?
that's the easiest yeah
but ideally you would want to vanish for uptime
and sepsis would handle the 2min deathmark
cause the imp gar from it lasts so long
oh interesting, do i just send the imp gar nearing the end of the buff for that?
@glacial shuttle the other thing to note which might seem like a cop-out but is kind of important. The audience I write for on wowhead is very difference from the audience that will use lorrgs and analyze themselves and look at their logs after a raid and time out their shivs perfectly
online guides are specifically aimed at normal/heroic raiders, which is the vast majority
so many of the smaller min-maxes
simply get omitted
it happens constantly across every guide
I understand that. But if people don't find it on wowhead, probably the most commonly used place for rotational guide, they probably will assume they're doing everything well and struggle to understand other problems they might be having until they ask. Which is why I was annoyed at the Shiv thing
I mean if you have 1 shiv in your deathmark
and you follow the sepsis -> gcd -> shiv timing
that I write clearly in the guide
you don't have a shiv issue
and you're doing everything well
it's not sim-perfect
but it's kinda not the point to be
the rogue earlier simply had no shiv
at all
the 4 minute was barren as well
that's an issue
and that's what I pointed out
shiv mistakes
like these
are not guide failings
they're player failings
yo guys i need to change from law to assass should i do gear compare for stats and crafted gear or? i can send /simc here if anyone can help 🙂
top gear and change everything to crit mas and crit haste?
pretty much yeah
what are you looking for my guy
Hey !
Trying to learn sin, and I'm wondering how to play around sepsis and shiv. I guess we need to boost the final dmg of sepsis with shiv, but sepsis has 10sec while shiv lasts 8sec. Is the play always to sepsis > 1 gcd (most of the time garrote, but I guess sometimes we want to wait before garroting) > shiv ?
Or before sepsis do you keep the 2 charges of shiv to make sure you can sepsis > shiv > ... > shiv ((just before spesis ends)
Not sure if that makes sense !
Thanks !
talked about it here
that's from the wowhead guide
there's similar in the #assassination-faq
np
ow damn your wowhead guide is neaaat
ty
Yo!
Can someone point me in the right direction, looking to learn assa for m+
I've checked the FAQ
which youtubers do you guys recommend?
Hey guys, how do you all fit in Beacon of the Beyond into your openers? or should i wait for it afterwards? What i tend to do is: Garotte - Slice - Echo - rupture - Beacon - sepsis - Deathmark - shiv and then just normal rotation.
perfect
there's not really any m+ guides for assassination cause it's a terrible spec right now and doesn't see much play, plus the AoE is entirely convoluted. A lot of the rotation in AoE is going to change and simplify in 10.2, so would wait and see for that
the basics is basically just carnage every 45 seconds as long as the mobs aren't about to die in order to spread garrote/rupture for energy, maintain CT on 2+ targets, deathmark your favorite target, and then either spam envenom for poison bomb/prio damage, or spam crimson tempest if the mobs are kinda spread out
Alright thanks, then it's just me that it feels off somehow i guess 😛
sim fightstyle for sin dungeon slice right/nightly?
Thanks, I used to play sub before my long break and saw a vid about assa 10.2 which made me come back to check it out
yes
for all rogue specs?
yes
ok ty!!
looking a lot better in 10.2 for sure
Do we actually wanna slow down our rotation with the new exsanguinate in 10.2? and try to keep 50+ energy for the 20% bonus?
if we play it, yes
Thats gonna take some time to get used to but it sounds cool
loving the new aoe we're gonna get
weird question but have any of you ran into the issue where transmog doenst save ingame? it does in character panel but not on my actual character
would be the first I'm hearing of it
I've had the reverse quite often, sometime the character screen doesnt sync with the transmog
It will eventually, you can try logging in and out again as well, sometimes really old transmogs randomly appear on the char screen
Did this guy really just ask a question than leave the discord server?
Yes
is it a big DMG-Loss when i play Vulpera rogue? I like the style but on Bloodmallet it sims rly bad.
It’s about 1%
Vulpera doesn't have a damage racial you can decide if that ~1% damage loss is ok with you
Yeh
I hate vulpera because I kept accidentally swimming in the ooze in plaguefall because vulpera were too short
As a former vulpera player that swapped tauren for the dps chase on sark prog a couple months ago
I couldn’t tell the difference
I also like a lot of the other racial utility more than vulpera and that's a lot more significant than 1% damage
Having torrent/stoneform/meld can be really nice in m+
you changed for MinMax? Your a professional Ranked Player and im Running around 22 keys. I Love Vulperas but to know that i loose around 1% to 1,5% dps is mech 😄
I changed for the dps on sark yeah
Waste of money but good meme for the stream content
Its crazy to me that vulpera have no damage racial and also no combat utility racial
Not more than a gcd for any dps spec
velf or bust
Or most tank specs
i love that racial so much
Velf is funny for kiting
Pretty sure bag of tricks is ogcd but even if it’s on gcd assa has dead gcds to use it on so kinda doesn’t matter
It's on gcd
had a funny reaction from my m+ group when i first used it to do a mechanic on first boss Halls of Infusion
Tricks is really bad
Sure but it does damage
Shame velf racial has a max range so you can't use it to cheese intermission on last boss hoi
I kinda think races should just be cosmetic tbh
I like the choice of utility
Dwarf m+ or goblin jump priests on raz is so fucking cringe
I think there shouldn't be damage racials
Swapping the bis race every tier to make more money from race changes 📈 
tauren stomp on raz or belf
all of it is cringe
Oh you’re not a dwarf? Guess you fucking die in this +29 lol idiot
hunters went velf iirc
HEY
i dont die
take that back
its close
but i dont
I do like how they just never updated the numbers on mechagnome racial so it just gives shadowlands levels of primary
Very funny
What the most proper use of CoS on Sark p1 mythic? Second breathe when all are clearing or in the end after arrows?
Usually the group soak disintegrates right before the glitter
If that’s not scary you can cloak the breathe or really whatever
thats fine because noone wants to play that scuffed race anyways
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
how do i see how much more variance in DPS there is with nelth trinket vs essence?
Either of these, depending on how much info you want
i just want to know how much i can blame shit logs on trinket. thanks
i mean there is only 1 build for M+ so not sure about the question
the question was "can someone tell me the best build because I'm not interested in reading a guide, the FAQ or any site that shows what top players use"
its pretty hard to parse for the average player this far into the tier
tbf
i would say im a bit above averge, like im trying to move from ~95s to 99s atm but cant seem to figure out what im doing wrong
also have a few real shit ones on rashok that i cant wrap my head around and neltharion but i dont know whats happening there. anyway i have pretty much bis gear - cloak so i think i should be doing more
there are multiple things that can be wrong. did you run wowanalyzer for the most basic things?
how are your killtimes compared to the top logs?
how much lower does your gear end up compared to most people
etc etc
its legit just cloak and not everyone that has top logs has the cloak either
https://wowanalyzer.com/report/xPmLrBzftHCn9AGX/24/14 like this for example is a 83 and mistakes to me at least dont seem big, 2 bad finishers and maybe i can do something with vanish but im also kinda reluctant to delay my DM cuz our kills timers vary quite a bit. the one i linked is 10 seconds shorter than highest non PI log
shill more gold to the augmentations 
Aug has no impact on your logs as assa afaik
is using spore cloak okay if 3 healing echo on prog? or is the 3k dps too important do you think?
3 healing on prog 
We are 3 healing prog and holding dmg, its fun
we arent even holding damage, but our dps are pretty shit
i did cloak for first night but wasnt entirely happy with my damage yet
these are the logs for our first night 3 heal and me having spore cloak
For sporecloak the only time I feel in danger on that is in p2 If i’m having the dot and get hit by the silence after. Or if dps decide to aoe when you become corrupted
Outside of that, unless you’re rotting to lack of heals, you almost never need it
Just feint every aoe the boss does and ur chuckling
yea i was feint every aoe
i never felt that i would proc cloak out of what you listed
but we have dps aoe on mc
i think it was basically 2k hps in our best pull tho, which idk if thats that big
probably just better for dam
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Is the onyx ring bis for sin?
ohh
yes but keep in mind that bis is not as static
possible that multiple items have similar value
Yea ofc, could be bis depending on my current stats.
Plenty of people have double crafted simming higher tbh
I have double crafted and onyx is -0.3
@blazing jewel are you still addicted to wotlk and can i take your reclear spot this week? 
Interesting I have everything the profile fuu has expect for the 450 dagger and cloak. So I expect with the 2 rings I have it should be close?
i cant seem to find a combination of my gear that has essence beat class trinket and i really want to cuz fk rng

ugh I got 457 class trinket I guess I should use it now
I’ll take it if you don’t want it
2/3 of my beacon hits on Rashok last night crit. Gamba brain happy
What’s the hottest rogue spec on ptr right meow
the one that deals the most damage in the current untuned state
and has the most advantageous bugs
Is outlaw
it crit?
CoinflipGodX
built diffy
@agile osprey @pure moth I'm filling in on sark prog with my friend's guild on my warlock at 5:30


Ok. Do it another day or?
I'm just gonna watch grays anatomy with woman then. We could potentially knock it out Saturday?
Im not on saturday nights.
friday?
Usually come on later than my usual time
How late do you guys play?
I'll be on early Thursday though
Thurs/Fri is a no from me this week. I could maybe do earlier tomorrow after work or during the day on the weekend
I can do Saturday morning/early afternoon
I can be on whenever on saturday 
Ok
is raid bots acting odd for anyone else? cuz mine says if i upgrade my neck from 444 to 447 ill lose dps and i dont think thats right
is the dps dif less than like 70?
double check that it doesn't leave out the primary stat gem, because ya that's weird af
if I’m gonna vote OG it would be a Psyduck
i don't know any pokemon
probably something like chimchar too
Charmander but psyduck is my homie cause we both run around with migraines 
or ninetails
I got my first 100 parse today on rogue!!
noice gz

for the only right answer

I do got a question with embellishments being nerfed this hard is it worth me switch from toxic to slimy boots? Before 10.2? If I plan to only play sin in 10.2?
unless you have gold and sparks to blow, not really
hi its me, gold and sparks
plus we don't know what's good or not yet because the sims aren't quite working right for ptr stuff yet
so save yourself some gold
the dif between the boots isn't even really that big of a deal tbh
!bis
I have both gold and sparks lol, was just curious, I think it’s kind of weird to have crafting such a rework/importance yet the best things to craft are being nerfed as hard as they are
does deathmark copy bleeds applied after you cast deathmark? or only ones already on the target?
Duplicates all existing and applied after
so basically have improved garrote up for as much of deathmarks duration as possible
Yes. Utilizing sepsis and vanish for deathmark is key
#assassination-faq message - has a section with expected timings you'll typically see on a ST fight of how the three (Sepsis, Vanish, DM) line up with each other
During my opener, I want to make sure to use Garrote a 2nd time before my Sepsis buff runs out right? So within those 10 seconds?
it actually happened what the f... on a week i was on a trip and missed raid
How's assis looking so far for 10.2?
p cool
Imagine getting something that is not a ring, neck or tier piece on vault 
Hi guys, im new to rogue and there is clearly a massive disconnect mechanically... would anyone be willing to take a look at this and let me know what im doing wrong?

You can try the log in wowanalyzer for starters
Its always Tier Set
Dagger still a myth

Friends, howw good is the beacon as Assa? I always found it bad compared to a passive trinket (and very clunky)
It’s close to bis but gets beaten out by class trinket chromatic orb
Or like a really good pair of dice
I can't believe. i leveled an alt to 70. first week, i only did one +16. and i get 447 dice
while my main has 441 trinkets
maybe time to delete rogue.
What if notter rogue is delete
you should learn how to loot stuff ngl

Stealthi, did you know that bunnies are natural predators to racoons
im a roided up raccoon
im build diffy
i got the 450 nelth ring today as well
but for it to be good i need to recraft stuff
and that aint happenin


Afaik, snd is a predator for notter 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I tried recrafting everything and changing runes/gems and at most it was a -80 dps sidegrade

The real question would be if the number you got with - 80 was prettier
That’s my goat

Is it even possible to parse without nelth trinket?
My parses lastnight were literal shit stains
OCE/beacon should be fine as an alternative
Bomb disp?
I meant like as an alternative to nelth trinket
does sepsis make garrote benefit from the damage buff or do i spend my stealth thing on like ambush
or do i ignore the stealth ability it grants and just keep on mutilating my heart out
Sepsis makes garrote be improved
So you will want to use Sepsis when you don't already have an improved garrote up (except in the opener when you use it anyways)
#assassination-faq message has a Sepsis usage section which has a typical timeline for when you will want to fit your Sepsis, Deathmark, and Vanish together in single target
is there a way to tell if my garrote is improved or w/e i used to have a WA that changed the timer trackings color for if it was empowered or not
I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED

There is no way in the base game to tell, have to use a weakaura.
Other packs have similar indicators, but I like mine 🙂
lol ill give it a look ty
This one also really good https://wago.io/Lgy47ma7G
Thanks to the boy @gaunt moat
What attunement do we pick for oce? Mastery?
I'm running haste for the group but Mastery has been highest Dps wise... Not by much though
Depends on your gear, stats are stats regardless of where they come from
I came from sub so my gear has very, very little haste, so haste OCE was the best damage wise for me
Is the order, Bleeds and then Deathmark, or deathmark and then bleeds, like for improved garrote?
Obsidian is currently simming highest for me 🙂
But that's probably because my stats are greatly balanced.
Deathmark essentially creates secondary holding buff slots for anything it is meant to duplicate, and will fill those buffs if the debuff is on the target, and is not based on the state of the target when you cast Deathmark.
That is, for the purposes of Deathmark's functionality the order doesn't matter, if you put a bleed up during Deathmark, it will still have a copy of itself, it is not snapshotted when you cast Deathmark. If you cast Improved Garrote during Deathmark, the duplicated Garrote will be improved as well.
If you're asking about opener buttons, #assassination-faq message has some openers to follow, all of which apply bleeds before the Deathmark anyways, so in effect the answer will be bleeds then Deathmark.
thanks
Its good idea for start of 10.2 to craft a flaring cowl + elemental lariat insted of slimy Boots because of 35% nerf ??
its a good idea to wait
dunno where you guys always wanna run off to with 0 information
and no further idea of how things will be with the new patch
there's almost certainly going to be a new spark next season
why would you try to get "ahead" of anything by crafting new embellishments now
Hey i don't know if that question as already been answered but i was wondering : i just got the bombs from zskarn. Is it a good idea to put up a macro for each attacks to activate it passively? Or not?
we're probably 1.5 months away from this PTR releasing and people are already freaking out over embellishments?
If you don't have double on-use trinkets (bomb/beacon for example), you can safely macro it
and forget about it
I macro mine in
I don’t need another button lol
What you macro yours to Oxi?
Okay nice then. I have bombs and nelta trinket anyway
mutilate, shiv, and envenom
i macro'ed them only EVERY abilities xD
I just did ambush and mutilate for raid
btw do the 3 stacks u get if u didn't use them for 1m30 sec can go all at once one a single target?
oh there is a 10 sec cd between each anyway
Yea
macroing bomb 
okay so i don't need to delete some macro
why wouldn't you
do you macro your potion to anything so I can shame you for doing that?
If somehow you find yourself almost caping on stack (I don’t think it’s possible) just hit a macro. Your ability won’t be used but the dispenser has a decent range
Woah
oh yea forgot BM isn't bad with the bombs so it has a range xD
I macro my pot to tea 😂
if he's gonna shame people for macroing bomba to something
DM and SB 😛
he best not be macroing his potion
the whispyr subtweet
I even have my pot/tea macro in M+
And u know what, sometimes a pot is wasted. And I’m okay with that 😈
shame this shame that, so sensitive 
I'll shame my balls on your face 
I'd appreciate that ngl
haha jk... unless?
Woah
Does the bleeds/poisons crit gives u a stack towards the 60 crit for the bombs?
I'm not sure if whispyr would allow anyone elses balls in my face tho
I do not believe so but I could be wrong
true, he is very territorial
Okay thx
👍🏻
that's a fantastic question
thats the cat in catmaid
stealthi prolly knows
he's like me, except smarter and hotter
and a better rogue
so essentially, nothing like me
@earnest remnant do dot crits count toward bomba resets
Yea I only picked up rogue this tier so I’m probably not the best to answer any questions
Also the type of guy who plays sub all tier then swaps to sin 140 pulls into M Sark for more boss dmg
if memory serves me right, yes
ngl its a question that most people wouldnt know unless you specifically wondered about that
the stacks have an icd anyway so its not like it matters a whole lot
true

would you like it
its more like you woke up and chose violence
Hm... Elementium pocket anvil + bombs or neltharion + bombs for ST? D:
Sim it
well for tryan its prolly stockholm at this point
nelth
anvil is okay
nothing great, whereas nelth trinket can high roll damooj
Hm okay, dunno why i feel like i do less dmg at open burst than right before the bombs
yeah you need to get some good rng to really feel the impact of the nelth trinket
otherwise it's just +vers
the bomb disp thing, yes it does proc from dots, just not alot xD
Hm okay thanks
that's still nice
but honestly just play around with each set up
see what you like more, that matters more than any sim imo :3
over 32 sec rupture i got 2 procs
cause if you get shit procs with nelth trinket it's kinda ass
and i did alot more than 2 crits
im doing chest atm
im gonna egg you, buddy

Gimme
done
tyty

Rally against SnD
didnt start it for a longer time
i just join SnD hate
cus SnD is a ability that should not exist in 2023 and idk who in their right mind think it does

immersion bro
I would like to rally against rallying against snd
Brother you have this power
Join the snd crew
i would like to rally against rallying against the rally
At least for sin you press it once and forget about it, I can understand the hate for it on the other 2 specs
BUT its the nerfed rally
We all have our calls to activism

@gusty mirage
why is everything so hard
how my car die 10 seconds before i start my drivers test
😦
I blame quake
.<
?
quake <3
Hi
Every attempt on echo of nelth today, i'm doing 130-145k
the one we kill him?
mage nukes me and i die. i get silenced 6 times. worse parse yet.

i bet racoons don't suffer like that
sounds about right


I dont know if this is true? But I heard that if you macro it, you get less ST damage?
am I making this shit up lol
Why would that be true 
fuck if I know. My brains small, I read on internet, I think true
I guess here’s an easier question: “How could this be true?”
Thats what I was thinking
It didnt make sense to me
because I press it as soon as its off CD anyway so why would macro-ing it even matter right?
okay well this changed my life so thanks
that was probably early tier where people.played bomb+beacon and some guys went crazy Over bomb macros cus "what if i put beacon on the 10sec trinket cd and instead of 2-3 casts trought out the fight i have 2-3 casts instead??????"
probably yeah! I'm just happy to save a keybind. Thanks for all the info
Just less buttons and less to keep track of
I play bomb and beacon and still macro
Def gonna go back to the macro. I had it macro'd for awhile then got shit for it lol

Lmao same
Jokes on you I think I’m shit even with the aug buffs
I just wanna fix zskarn
it can't be done
You can fix him
took us like 5 pullls to kill that boss last night.. was not fun
play IC
Legit lost a charge of sbs on one because it died while the charge was midair
It ain’t worth it
There’s no world
you play ic and tell other people not to dps adds
that you?
No because I had to work until ten the night they killed it
I was at like 190k dps on Assault going into tank and spank and they reset the boss cause of a bug or something
And no reclear tier done
Punching the air
you are not shit
stop it
I thought we loved him because he’s beautiful
that too

your ranged do adds????
we have to beg for target swaps every week after 2 wipes 
you cant say shit
your discord description says mediocre so thats the worst you can say
no self-depreciating oxi

guys I have a question about asa, In the first 4 bosses of mythic, I do less dps than my sim and other people with the same gear as me. I checked my rotation but couldn't find any mistakes. Normally my character sims 136k. As for me, I can hit between 119-125k as a maximum. I know that the length of the fights affects me, but I still think my dps is low, what can I do about this?

Start there!
my logs are private so I cant use this:(
private logs 
Just blame bad rng
Thats how i improve
Keep faith in yourself and none in rng
Good damage = u got shit rng but countered it with beautiful play
Ur so real for that bestie
❤️
I don’t know what it is
Well I guess it’s the rng
But some pulls I’ll be sitting between 175-180 till about the 1, 1 and a half minute mark
Most pulls it’ll be 150-160
Then I end killing around 125-130
For pretty much every ST fight
At the start of the fight you have a huge burst, usually with BL and potion.
Can easily reach even points of 400k DPS, but it's divided over time.
later on your damage flattens with some bursts, and at the end maybe a bit higher again with execute and another pot.
Can't keep up high burst damage throughout the fight.
as an example, if at your burst, let's say you're doing 100dps over 1 minute, that's 100 DPS * 60 = 6000
but then over the next 2 minutes you're doing third of it, so 33 DPS * 120 = 3960
over the whole duration it average to (6000 + 3960) / 2 = 4980 which is your final DPS
so to answer, rng is part of it yeah, but you end up lower because you just can't be at top damage at all times.
easier to visualize in a graph.
(Also, if this is something was that was obvious to you, then i'm sorry i probably didn't understand the question)

Yeah outlaw hasn’t had wowa implemented
Highly recommend chucking it in there
We can manually do log review but I’d say a good 90ish% of review can be plug and played through wowa
If you can’t find the help you need then just @ myself, whispyr, seli, or oxi (or Cev if he’s around) and we’ll make one for you 
Just know if you @ someone, they plug it into wowa. So if you just skip the middle man, you’re on a list
(there’s no list)
oh my god theres a list (theres no list)
How does garrote tick rate works?
I'm seeing it ticks every 2 seconds.
But rarely it also ticks after 1 second.
I’ve never really watched it closely, can you replicate it on a dummy and log it?
Like all other dots is 1 tick every 2 / (1 + haste%) seconds
doesent dots also have "partial" ticks
yeah thought i remembered so
All dots have same tick rate?
I was looking at warlock that damaged me with drain soul
it ticked every 0.3s for 4 times in 1 second
i personally just use a fork
I should try this with Stuart (I won’t he will bite me for sure)

Post the opener, should I generally sepsis on CD or hold for death mark? EDIT: Ignore, I basically just went to FAQ as soon as I pressed enter.
I find that assa needs quite some time for it to climb the damage meters on a pack (thanks captain obvious, it’s a dot spec), or perhaps I don’t play it the way it should be played. The former : is it gonna change with the rework ? Will we be able to land a big burst like most of the classes do ? The latter : well, I’m gonna watch some vod I guess
depends on what you consider climbing to be
in theory it's slower than now
right now you have 8 targets dotted instantly
that's slower next patch
I use this link for analyze but It doesn't show anything other than my mistakes, which I am aware of.
Why am I in brackets
because you scary
Seli is always available but not always here. Afaik you aren’t always available. I don’t like pinging people who are hyper busy with irl
Hey now I have the 2nd highest post count the last month out of em all
I'm a degem
But it's true
A few years ago I felt obligated ro answer every dm and tag, now I just ignore stuff that I don't have time to answer
So feel free to tag me, I might or might not answer
That’s the sole reason.
I know when I’m extremely busy with irl I don’t like being tagged for stuff that others can do when others are available
Based.

Im confused. As a level 10 Rogue lets say, how much energy do you have ?
Cause we have 2 talents that increase by 100 the energy pool
If you talent into 0 point, you have 0 energy?😆
with no talents you have 100
When running beacon in raid, when would be a good time to pop it?
after the rupture before your deathmark, then on cooldown
as long as it's not during deathmark
correct, in 10.2 you would have 300. Currently you can max at 170
Ty!
