https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-CosgyZAhw&list=PLEA6xZzXyHDTaaoXTsHXj9HdgvK34u-Vj this is whispyr's "Basics series" which is kinda of a how to play? It doesn't have the new stuff

They're pretty good content for getting into the spec

#

My guild is now asking for a report or video essay detailing the how and why I should get PI notlikethis

haughty flicker
#

The report is whispyr said so

balmy condor
#

Damn

#

Fucked up

haughty flicker
#

There’s your essay

storm forum
#

They said graphs and screen shots were preferred. So I'm actually just going to take ur w/ w/out PI sim screens hots and do some math about how 13700 > 13100

#

And then slap it in a PP and voice over it

haughty flicker
#

Your uhdk is really mad huh

keen spruce
#

I mean i could fabricate one

storm forum
#

My uhdk hasn't said anything in weeks besides post some kill videos

haughty flicker
#

He’s still in denial it’s ok

storm forum
#

One of our locks is a lawyer and he's mad though

#

I'm actually so doomed

haughty flicker
#

I mean if sin is still best pi target week 1 you’ll have plenty of logs to throw at him

#

If he’s that insistent

keen spruce
#

if rogue is best pi and already simming well week 1

#

it's gonna be season 1 all over again

#

84 years of nerfs

haughty flicker
#

Nah we have the rework buff

keen spruce
#

well in hindsight most of those were pvp nerfs

haughty flicker
#

Can’t be nerfed until mid tier

keen spruce
#

but still madClap

We also have the yellow class nerf

yeah we're like

cashier #3 in the movie

#

mages are main character #1

#

well

#

okay no that's not fair

#

we're like

#

cashier #3 is WW

#

we're probably more like main villan's henchman #1

#

possibly 1-2 lines in the movie

#

So where does sin really fall in the PI order? Which website best to check this thing?

#

BTW thanks for doing all them vids on Youtube @balmy condor , you're a real hero, though you already know

Multiple PIs ICANT

keen spruce
#

we're running 3 priests next tier

#

i mean multiple from the same priest suss

void mesa
#

Maybe instead of PI on DM
You can get PI on KB 2ez

keen spruce
#

well we have 3 rogues now dead

#

but pi ever min sounds pretty cash money amigo

sweet pond
#

So I’ve got beacon I got dragon fire bomb dispenser I got Harlan’s dice and I got homeland raid horn and also elemtinium pocket anvil Both anvil and beacon have speed too what’s best for m+ and raid

balmy condor
#

The ones that sim highest

sweet pond
#

So nothing instantly better

balmy condor
#

You listed 5 out of the 7 top trinkets

#

With no item levels attached

#

I could tell you that bomb dispenser is the best single target trinket

#

But if it’s 10 ilvl under the other stuff

#

Then probably not

#

Hi friends, I’m a new rogue gearing for 10.2, never played this spec ever. Best beginner resource or should I just wait for 10.2 videos, not sure just how much is changing. Thank you!

slate crown
#

^ the purple man (Whispyr)'s youtube channel is a good place to start for both general ground-floor learning as well as more recent PTR developments. General concepts on the 10.1 information are all still valid and important today, so it's a good place to start. Can start with Basics playlist.

https://www.youtube.com/@whispyr5793/playlists

Information in the #assassination-faq is also good though a lot is specific to 10.1, updates to the FAQ will be coming as 10.2 gets closer, it's still good to review to get a general sense of what's going on.

Excellent, sounds good! Thanks

Need? No.
Should you? Probably

I just did

expect prices to go up next week

slate crown
#

don't want to be juggling finding a crafter while trying to do 10.2 stuff

keen spruce
#

I would recommend crafting one now

#

Sporecloak takes 300 spores for the first-craft

#

But recrafting doesn't take spores

keen spruce

#

you probably have infinite crests and sparks at this point so it's just a few thousand gold

#

and you're probably gonna use it ApuShrug

ok thanks

do we refresh on pandemic an improved garrote?

Plates that will spin in just the right way to ruin every other dps spec for me probably.

#

Is the offhand dagger a priority craft?

thick sail
#

I don't know the specifics, but from what I've read, the MH is super important, the offhand not so much

#

Seems like abilities aren't based upon weapon damage like they were in Classic

keen spruce
#

oh dagger is generally lower priority than many other things. right now we also want the mega dungeon dagger in our oh as BIS and we'll be running 2 of them next patch

#

so even less so currently and in 10.2

#

@patent snow

spice spire
storm forum
#

With the crafted item ilvl change, crafting daggers is less of a priority because they won't be BIS the whole season like before. Also we want to farm nick of time for our off hand cause the proc is good.

#

Someone is going to walk in here 2 weeks from now with a max ilvl nick of time with speed from the first vault and they're going to get shot

runic hinge
#

I hope it’s me

#

For the vault luck and also for getting shot

Thank you

#

Can someone please explain how long Exang lasts? Haven't used it much. Is it all determined by the remain duration of the bleeds that are currently on the target, or can you re-apply bleeds during exang?

kind turtle
#

( / do you want to use Exang only with max-duration bleeds up for max duration, if thats how it works)

keen spruce
#

it's passive next week

#

not now bonk_frog

kind turtle
#

how does it work right now

keen spruce
#

you untalent it right now

thorn fjord
#

Yeah dont touch that thing

#

It'll give you cooties

keen spruce
#

but it duplicates bleeds that are on the target or applied during exnag

#

so you don't need to max refresh before casting

#

but yeah just don't talent into it at all

#

cuz it's bad

#

and going away in like 5 days

thorn fjord
#

Look how far we've come @keen spruce

we did it

hello guys, it is posible to make WA for assasination rogue rotation ? and why theres not wa in wago already? im old gamer and i cant keep track on everything in raid and my class ....

pure moth
#

Rotation helpers aren't good. They aren't designed well enough for most situations. Your best bet is to sit at a training dummy and embed it into your mind. Then go into raid and focus on what you need to do.

ornate pier
#

i have made wa for outlaw since it seems to me easier to do since aoe is single with bladefurry active, but on assa im not sure how to do it

#

or if its gona be good or decent on single target atleast

shut owl
#

there are a bunch of UI and buff-timer type WA's on wago; what worked for me learning sin was just get as many of those as my PC could handle, run them all at once and see what my eyes naturally wanted to look at/actually gave me useful information, then strip away all the excess

actual good blizzcon for wow ?

rotund oak

HUGE

#

3 expansions announced

#

kinda destroyed all MMO competition in one go

grim jay
#

how so

#

just announcing there will be expansions

#

doesnt destroy anything

rotund oak
#

Its the Metzen effect

#

once seen can never be unseen

#

(joking,its the dopamine speaking)

#

but srsly

#

Metzen is dope

grim jay
#

unironically

#

he just announced atleast another 10 expansions

#

basically

thorn crater
#

prolly gonna be 2 phase expansions

#

leading to 5ish years

#

and by the end of last titan prolly new MMO

rotund oak
#

the war within is like in 2024 fall

#

so a year from now

thorn crater
#

yep i mean post that

rotund oak
#

ik,its like we dont know how much it will take

#

its like

#

each xpansion must be 2 years or something

thorn crater
#

metzen did say they will try to not delay though or something right

rotund oak
#

yup

#

its more of a saga

thorn crater
#

so prolly not gonna be 2 year expansion

rotund oak
#

yup

#

idk,rly im mindfuked rn

thorn crater
#

and they put a 20 dollar price tag on a 3 day early access on wow

#

but no dailies or stuff

#

just for leveling i guess

grim jay
#

as if they would make a new one

grim jay
#

so it should potentially be even more expansions

#

the question is how do they define shorter

thorn crater
#

new mmo i mean sth like wow 2

grim jay
thorn crater
#

not original obvi

rotund oak
#

yeah thats kinda farfetched

grim jay
#

they will either keep going or update the engine at one point

rotund oak
thorn crater
#

engine update means new code

#

the whole issue with everything being so hard to do and implement is the spagghetti base code of base wow

#

which will essentially be wow 2

grim jay
#

its totally a difference

#

if its just updated wow

#

or wow 2

#

wow 2 would kinda mean wow ended

#

which it doesnt if you just update the engine

#

it would be more like remastered

royal lantern
#

enginge get updated

#

like

#

24/7

#

at any moment lol

#

thats how game development works lol, they wanna add something that doesnt fully work yet? push updates for it that makes it work

grim jay
#

we talkin big visuals, no adjustments or making stuff work

royal lantern
#

thats why "just change enginges 4head" is the biggest "internet neckbeard with no idea about anything" take ever, like, what do they expect happens lol

#

ye sure, just casualy transfer EVERYTHING to a new enginge

grim tangle
#

they should start using unity

grim jay
#

noone said casually

royal lantern
#

thats not litearlly creating the entire game AGAIN from scratch

#

but now with new bugs that they are not familiar with

#

cus new engine

#

and the game would not play the same

#

cus other engine

#

"engine" is the biggest capital G Gamer buzzword

grim jay
#

wdym you can still have the basics work the same lol

royal lantern
#

....no? mate, you cant just take the game, and copypaste it on a different engine and it plays the same lol

#

espacialy when engines are build around working on specific games/types of games

#

"X game but unreal enginge!!!" is a giant meme, cus thats not how reality works at all

oak sky
#

They have to basically remake the whole game

grim jay
#

dunno why it needs to be a totally different engine either. from what I know bdo for example literally did what I mentioned before

#

ahleas was talking about changing something other than visuals

grim tangle
#

wow looks good already why do people want to change the visuals

grim jay
#

we talking way down the line

#

and "if" they would change anything

royal lantern
#

i mean, wow decided to make an somewhat unique artstyle that ages good tbh peeposhrug

#

better then 99% of mmo's that for some reason think ULTRA REALISTIC is a good thing, then they cant do more unique stuff cus its extremely time intensive and it looks outdated in 3 years

grim jay
#

I also think the new zones look pretty fine

#

they might update the older zones as we move back to them in the new expansions anyways, so they should look pretty fine aswell

how are crits treated in sims... although crit is considered prio for stats my sims lead me to building more mastery but is that because the sim is more about the median rather than highs/lows so although something might sim lower with crit... I still want to build it because i'll have higher highs? let me know if this is right or not please!

balmy condor
# timid saddle how are crits treated in sims... although crit is considered prio for stats my s...

Simulations run tens of thousands of “fights”. Crits on these individual fights are exactly as you would expect in game, each ability has a % chance to crit, and it calculates that. From there it compiles all the iterations together and averages/reports the median.

So yeah, if you’re trying to play for the rng you could drop crit I guess. The issue is most of the actual bulk of rng is in procs like sophic, and not crit. There’s also a gambler fallacy here where you’re equating less crit with higher/lower peaks. Which is true, but unrealistic even on a high roll. So if you do have a 1 in 100 pull, most likely you’ll actually be doing less because the 1/100 pull with crit is still better than the 1/100 pull without crit. You’d realistically need to high roll like 1 in 25,000 in order to even have a measurable, simulated difference, regardless of player skill or mechanics or anything else

#

So

#

Yes you’re right

#

But you’re also kinda cringe

#

And that’s not really how rng works

stupid question i think, but how can I get ambush and mutilate on the same keybind? Is it a Macro thing, an Stance thing, or not possible? Could anoyne help me out?

With all the downsides it includes 🙂

Its currently the way it works on ptr, if you get a blindside proc your mutilate just becomes ambush

Henlo o/ , im new here, uh... looking for help 😄 is it still worth crafting with sparks ? like any embelishments ? i got my rogue boosted because its othe only one left that i dont have and looking for ptr i wanna reroll on it maybe. so , any recommendations ? i watched the Info channel with everything and i know some crafting tips from there. but i still wanna know, should i safe my sparks or does it not matter ?

grim jay
#

I remember every single time PogO

#

OK

#

then i will use them to fix my boosted gear with stat priority xdd

flint tusk
#

What i would recommend making the recommended bits for next patch
So spore and thorns as why not? Old sparks become junk anyway then you just need to recraft them.
Only benefit to doing it now is you might avoid inflated commissions

true

ok thank you guys :3

slate crown
#

Whispyr has one as well though I don't know if it's released / updated yet, he's been pretty busy with stuff

#

Created for 10.2 from scratch so it's updated

hexed willow
#

Yeah was hoping !wa would link his too in assassination

violet sonnet
#

wait exsang is going fucking boom

#

guess i gotta level with it ):

#

pour one out for a fallen brother

jaunty warren
#

So this going to sound weird …but I don’t use any add ons beyond details and dbm. I tried a few and found it was too busy. The major problem was no keybinds on icons without setting them all manually. Is that still the case ?

slate crown
#

You mean with like, Weakauras icons don't have the keybinds set on them? The default UI has keybinds on the icons

vast loom
#

honestly once you learn a keybind you dont really need the text tbh

slate crown
#

I mean

jaunty warren
#

Yes weakauras has no key binds…default does..which I like. With 10.2 more complex rotation etc I am reevaluating my options

slate crown
#

It's a helpful part of learning the keybind, I can understand it

#

Yeah, unfortunately weakauras represent conceptual information tied to the ability they are showing, which doesn't map to a single keybind. You can put Rupture on 3 separate keybinds, and then weakauras won't be able to know which to pull from

#

I've thought about something like this in the past, but it gets really complicated really quickly from a code perspective

vast loom
#

i think theres an old custom WA that used to put keybinds on WAs

#

similar to the button watcher WA that Nnoggie has

thorny pond
#

You could always custom text each icon

#

And just slot the keybind there

slate crown
#

Yeah, manually adding it is probably the most robust way, though of course that's a lot of work

#

and if you change keybinds around, you have to change all the texts

vast loom
#

most WA packs dont even show you every ability anyway

#

so like it would your dots and CDs but most of them wont show like ambush/mutilate

jaunty warren
#

Yeah one of the potential benefits is reclaiming screen space…but having my griffins and wa icons defeats that gain

#

I will look at the lift for a manual add at least for my rogue main… not doing that for all my alts

grim tangle
#

DO I NEED TO RECRAFT ALL MY GEARS FOR NEXT WEEK?

Do you have spare crests laying around and sparks available?

gusty mirage
slate crown
# grim tangle yes obviously I have around one million of those

Generally we (Assassination) are not using new stats, or at least, it's not super important that you recraft your pieces to different stats. What you have today should be fine. As for new pieces, in my testing the new embelishment options (sporecloak + thorn) was basically the same as current (patch + thorn) when using all 10.1 gear. So, on Tuesday you don't need to use new stuff or whatever.

However, if you want to ahead of time, what I did was I crafted 2 new pieces, a Sporecloak, and an extra off-piece that holds my toxic patch currently. This is only for convenience, so I can swap pieces as I want without having to find a crafter

gusty mirage
#

poor lisonna got jebaited

slate crown
#

But like, you're not going to be doing like 20% less damage for not doing this

#

with what? I was swimming in sparks and crests and spores, my alt is a gatherer so I just had everything anyways, and all crafters were in guild so no fees

How pooling are we looking to do on patch day compared to how much we do now?

slate crown
#

Patch day we swap to new build

#

which means pooling,

#

It's more than now for sure, though a big benefit to pooling is allowing for envenom chains which are most important with the tier set

#

which you won't have right away, but good to get practicing, and having 300 energy really helps this

otherwise it's just story shit

What’s the rune? Like the new spark?

slim hamlet

The thing from the rep grind

Ohhh right im dumb

Permanent augmentation rune

idk if story thing gives u anything, maybe another enchanted wyrm crest?

Even then it doesn't take long to do story stuff

Yeah that can be caught up next week I’d imagine. I really want to get the plan to enchant the new crests but I figure that’s going to be elite drops like last tier

Not sure if it’s worth grinding rep or something a week early for anything

isn't it the same crests?

you dont spam abilitys outside of cd's

shadow dance window is heavily scripted around kingsbane etc.
Outside of that window it's chaining envenom buff to get max 4 set damage procs

slim hamlet
#

still 2 days

strange python
#

What is the shadow dance relation to Kingsbane? Just the 10% damage bonus from the talent?

raven karma
#

garrot empower in kingsbane

strange python
#

how so?

raven karma
#

10.2 improved garrot : +50% damages when cast from stealth. it s a talent

strange python
#

what is the interaction between +50% dmg to garrote when cast from stealth - and kingsbane

raven karma
#

hum yes i was thinking to all cd together, but you have also master assasin +30% crit chance when stealth and for 3sc after

strange python
#

oh yeah that's probably what it is

#

so in short shadow dance basically buffs kingsbane's crit chance through some talents

tardy blade
#

KB snapshots this damage increase during dance

raven karma
#

yes also that from other tree

strange python
#

so a couple stacking interactions there really, got it

#

I feel like sub is still just gonna be easier in m+ though, at the end of the day

#

Guess we'll see how it all shakes out

raven karma
#

i was wondering about shadow dance and aoe situations, i guess it s better to use SD to spread more garrot and rupture (IC) on every mob ? even if we don't have it anymore for kingsbane

you'll have to decide that for yourself

is the new execute with bleedings insane ? like in higher m+ u just instant get like bloodred storm to instant trigger the whole bleeding if u apply it under 30% ? does that also mean the rotation will change in execute phase at bosses ? like always using rupture instead ov envenom ?

balmy condor
#

there's like 4 questions in there and I don't understand 5 of them

#

idk what "the new execute with bleedings" is

#

I assume maybe sudden demise?

#

in which case, it's kinda insane in lower keys, not so much in higher keys

#

bloodred storm to instant trigger the whole bleeding if u apply it under 30% not really sure what this is about, you still need the bleeds to have a certain amount of damage left in them in order for the effect to trigger, they don't just one-shot automatically

#

does that also mean the rotation will change in execute phase at bosses No? Sudden demise doesn't give you damage, it just prevents the loss of damage. If you have a rupture that has 150 damage left on it, and the target is at 100 hp, it would kill the target

#

that still means you would lose 50 damage

#

it's still inefficient to force a cast, since you're not getting the full damage

#

also on bosses it would be doing like maybe 0.1% of their health

#

sudden demise is a percentage of your bleed damage remaining

#

which is a flat number

#

if you have 150 damage on rupture, 300 on garrote, and 150 on crimson tempest or whatver, that would be 600 damage total remaining, which would mean a target under 400 health would die instantly

strange python
#

yes ,es

#

i understand

balmy condor
#

doesn't matter if that target has a max health of 500 or 500 million

strange python
#

i thought the instant bleed will apply always under 30% and only execute with the if the total is under the health of the enemy. so if the instant only apply to the " if the targets health is the same or lower of the total bleed" then my question was nonsense sorry ^^'

#

and yes my english is bad so ... sorry i try to elaborate more correctly in the future :3
