I giv creds sheeeee
what do you mean? arent they still separate abilities?
when blindside procs, mutilate gets replaced by ambush
like weeks ago
yeah huge qol
Does sin have any bugged talents like sub atm?
ambush does apply the debuff for caustic spatter now though right?
i believe that was fixed yeah
can't wait til they make it so pressing mut with full cp envenoms instead c:
ok. tooltip doesn't reflect it so wasn't sure
Guys do we have to cap the vault this week or no?
also looks like we just do the quick open now

oh, those are ALL updated? damn.
can we macro shadowdance and kingsbane?
would m+ kinda just use kingsbane on cd tho?
i do keep trying to hit my old keybind for ambush with bs procs
Caustic spatter applies on ambush now
he was talking about SD
Maybe you desync them or you wanna dance and garrote a bunch before ur kingsbane
How do I import Whispyr's plater profile?
am i missing something here? dont improved garrote and subterfuge conflict with each other?
You mean overlap, yes
Subterfuge let's you get some ambushes as builders especially in the opener
okay cheers
You own
ty
Are we taking AP in every key this season or what
does Zolyck and Sudden Demise stack?
kind of hard to talent them both tho
both 35% damage boosters š®
i mena
they both boost damage, not 35% each lol.
Yes
Sudden Demise looked lack luster in the description yeah
but it takes zoldyck into account when it's doing damage
sudden demise is not lackluster in the slightest
shit is crazy strong
thats why im testing it š®
I mean it's got a passive 40% bleed dmg
In addition to execute
Idk guys, clearly says 40%
Did number change during ptr or did I hallucinate a 4 because I wanted it to be a 4
It's 4 am I don't even know dude
well, it should be a 4...
you giga halluncinated a 4
40% bleed damage is insane lmao
Must have been a wet dream
we would forcibly pick that in all content
wet dream confirmed. Blood everywhere.
the passive bleed damage alone would be like
easily an 8% talent
in single target
that's like DTB levels of good
Well it is a capstone... 
not for single target it's not
if sudden demise is good in single target something is very wrong
Indiscriminate Carnage is still bad.
what
I love it
I like it but I think I would have preferred the sub replicating shadows version instead where it's permanent on
Vs just in stealth
Aneurism mode engaged
Nah it's garrote and caustic

Have you read any guides at all
I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage I will not engage
oh I havn't tried caustic yet im just debating in my head still on talents.
Or anything about 10.2 today?
im just speaking out my ass sorry guys.
Ye spam it you will do big dam 
first impressions for me.
Your best bet is to read the wowhead or IV guide in the pins
Then come back after youāre slightly informed
im curious how much Caustic actually adds up to
Shit ton
nice
oh thats big
is Sin high KPM to play yet
I keep going to outlaw for that.
looks like a lot of new things to play out now.
what is kpm?
apm probably
you get one kingsbane per minute
Usually itās action
action per minute?
got it, i see.
Oh I gotta get a new crest/fragment WA
well Im still a rogue at heart. Gotta play Sin and Outlaw and see which one I like.
i didnt play sub last season
not sure how that was.
hows everyone like Sin right now?
feels goey like melted butter?
i mean melting caramel
š®
I can see people in sub channel just dying from all the slightly diff builds that all take dust
are you guys recrafting stuff to haste/mastery or something?
If ur switching from outlaw or sub sure
I crafted 2 extra pieces of haste mast jewlery
Im currently crafted mastery/crit
Then sim urself but sounds not worth
Simming right now, just curious
anyone ran some interesting
damn those are gonna be big 20dps gains
brb, cat playing with something
I'm pretty sure raidbots hides stat weights sim on the page and says warning don't use this when you try to run a sim lol
mb
what poisons do we use?
Amp and deadly last time i looked
ap/dp
So whats the cast sequence for our second DM?
Where do i squeeze the imp garrote in
Do I use 1 gcd in SD for it?
Youāre always gonna garrote in SD for nightstalker
and wheres the DM?
Sequence is envenom, (deathmark), shiv, dance + KB(macro if u want), garrote , envenom, build to 5, rupture
Always those abilities in order
ty bro
well damn, i only kept my outlaw gear
It's fine
will test anyways
coo
I hate that answer, obv sim is king but donāt act like we all arenāt gonna end up with a bunch of crit and mastery on our stuff
In full outlaw gear except weapons and trinkets sin simmed only 2% behind bis gear
It really doesn't matter lol
my degeneracy has been spotted
I liked ptr seeing some random NA peeps again
yes
Is that the person Iām thinking of 
God I miss her
you're thinking of our friend @storm belfry
gone but never forgotten
No Iām thinking of someone banned
I miss me
Iād literally never forget cyon I miss him daily @storm belfry Stop playing resto Druid

????
so i been listening to phonk music
and playing rogue
I think it goes together well
im liking the blind buff, I havnt even used it yet.
Vanish during the last 3 seconds of Kingsbane to utilize Master Assassin. this is what wowhead suggests but wouldnt it be better to still use vanish for improved garrote before deathmark?
that's what dance is for
ok
There is something I'm having problem with which I don't undestand why or how to fix it, so if i make a macro exp
#stt
/cast mutilate
/use 14
that macro works regardless of blindside proc (it will cast mutilate or ambush)
but if i make a macro with castsequnce ex
#stt
/castsequence reset=20 mutilate, mutilate, mutilate, mutilate
the macro will break if blindside is proced
Any suggestion how to fix this?
Whats the base ilvl I can craft the toxic thorn footwraps at with the spark of dreams?
this is feeling extremely nerfy
oh thats nuts lmao
Why do this today... when you can do it tomorrow 
!whispyr
where did you say the current guide is at?
ill check wowhead I read someone said that earlier.
pins
is there a way to filter out the deathmark debuff duplicates on plater?
Sin sims keep looking worse š¦
yo face keep looking worse 
Wild what happens when thereās bugs
topped dps every boss tonight so far lol
My hype is fading
feels really nice
week 1 season start bug fix/tunings coming, big stonks. bet.
your hype is fading because the sim number went down?
Yep.
yikes
I want do big number.
that's some fotm brainrot if I've ever seen it
People like doing big number.
we do big number

I want do biggest number
PTR chat was way better ngl
My take:
I will be playing Sin in raids, Outlol in keys and sub in pvp.
Heroic raid?
mythic
Dang son
we stopped at nelth
Not bad
wow i didnt realize how much i had to actively put caustic spatter on enemies in M+ i thought it was gonna be auto, but its really something
dance + kb macro sounds fun
apologies for the stupid question. where can i find 10.2 trees?
Wow head
other than amirdrassil, obvs
groovy.. I made the mistake of finding icyveins first
icyveins has the same builds
i love this wa š https://wago.io/UrE1VZprN
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
hmmm. is that right? I earned a splintered spark of dreams from one dude, then I turned in a quest to lady moonberry which was to give me two splintered sparks which means I should have 3 but i only had 2 total
guess i should read
very confused on how sudden demise works. just looking at from questing, it seems like it does a small chunk of damage when they hit 35%, not fatal damage
Am i missing something with this?
the mob has to be under 35% to even consider the effect
at that point, every bleed tick checks if the total remaining bleed damage on the target exceeds 150% of the remaining health
so if gar+rup+ct is 150 damage remaining
the mob needs to be under 100 hp
if that is true
the mob dies
So i would expect every quest mob to basically go from 35% to 0% if they have gar/rupture up considering im fighting like 200k health mobs, im confused why that isnt happening, and ill see mobs take a little bit of damage from sudden demise and not die from it
you probably are killing them before a bleed tick has a chance to tick
And I lost my rhythm so Iām going to bed
One doesnāt come till next week
my character is constantly on fire in the new zone and dieing, and i dont know why
@balmy condor yo memes aside, thanks for all the work my dude. It's much appreciated
I think I have one of them
I imagine you have
but I cba tracking it
Mf
Maybe its MSBT timing thats confusing me or something, im seeing sudden demise damage pop up before a mob actually dies
would you craft a weapon and consider it safe or is nick of time bis to a point where the crafted weapon is junk
Oh wait
ty
seems fine for me
well, turns out my insulated mug is insulating very well, that hurt
Mob is not dead, yet sudden demise damage is showing. Top 10 things science cannot explain
Should hit 10 on alt tomorrow

I canāt bro itās in my blood
yknow what should be in your blood? @storm belfry poisons
mostly blood though
you should get that rdruid stuff checked out
how much of the rep stuff is daily?
hello
am i losing my mind? how is this possible? either the mob doesnt dies before sudden demise procs or it dies to sudden demise, what is this random 67k number
I donāt know what it is, but I just canāt seem to like shadow dance, why I never played sub to begin with.
Might be too boomer for it with the stealth bar always taking over and messin me up
do we do m0 this week or wut
how far behind dance is no dance on ST?
im not a big fan of dance, but i do not like 
Feel like we have to learn to do it, I donāt know if there is a no dance M+ build
Not sure if you'll like this answer but the way most of us seem to get around this is to never have a stealth bar to begin with, simply making all bars the same. It's what I do, so dance never shuffles my abilities around, they're always in the same place
^^

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
If you're already breaking them apart because of keybinds, then suggesting making all buttons available at all times is probably not what you want to hear because it does mean more keybinds.
Yeah, I know thatās what I have to do, but Iāve had abilities on spots for a decade now
Trying to relearn sucks ass
For sure, I understand this. Just takes time with it
Itās mainly just envenom and cheap I have to deal with, since their both on 3 heh
Or I might just wait to we what pvp meta is, if they donāt dance then neither will I š
!whispyr
But it's also a muscle to flex and exercise. I've played since 2005 and I've been able to challenge myself on keybinds I thought were set in stone, and trying to be more flexible has led to the process being easier
the rares
FWIW in pve content, cheapshot is a rarely, if ever, used button
like 3-5% I can't remember what whispyr said
Has anyone tried using Hekili? It's promting to use Shiv during dance which seems wrong.
you shiv in dance w/ kingsbane so it's not entirely wrong
did someone make a plater mod for spatter recoloring?
but those rotation helpers kinda fall apart when rotations get complex/conditional
Technically you don't shiv during dance
You shiv the global before, then the 2nd global after it fades
how tf you at 9
I can't wait to redo all of this on my main when I get to renown 10 on this shit alt
wdym
you save like 3-4 weeks on the infinite augment rune grind
why would I not do it
can we do the a dragon in hand questline yet?
I don't think so
A passed torch either?
??? I literally sat in the obsidian sanctum week 1 and got bffs with wrathion in 10.0
wdym no shot
this was the best I could do, nothing else on the map
where does memory start
human + dmf
nerd

im taking it slow with it
i have like 410 augment runes anyway
gonna last be for a good bit
I'm just glad that they fixed the rep threshold bug
where you could bank up a bunch of tokens until you are at like 2499/2500 at renown 9
then click them all at once and keep the 100% bonus for a few seconds after hitting 10
doing that was tedious as fuck
Still seems like assassin has energy problems :/
What were the conditions for when you could have improved garrote but not have it NS empowered (or vice versa)?
Using the AP build
What is dmf
darkmoon faire
Former: Sepsis

Latter uh... take off the imp garrote talent
Tks
Right, I forgot about Sepsis. Was trying to find it but I think it was in the PTR channel š¦
what's your definition of "energy problems"
I might be in the minority but I kind of miss having IC as a button.
oh sick they added a teleport option to the dream with the wyrmhole
And that my good sirs, is a 463 toxic thorn boots!
without having to do anything
Is there a reason not to macro Dance into KB for raid? (Dance then Kb)
no
@gusty mirage did you get all the rep treasures too?
ya
if im learning Assassin.. would playing AP version of the M+ build be better because its closer to the single target build? ie has tea.
they all have tea
the gameplay should be basically the same
doesnt have tea
so im using the AP build and just running out of energy at some points and just sitting waiting for it to regen. Am I doing something wrong orrrrrrr is that just how it is?
thats intended design
o :c
does the DTB build have less of the energy problem or not really?
also I thought envenom was supposed to cleave but maybe im remembering it wrong?
the same
it does with your spatter target
nope da bomb cleaves and its have a chance to pop when you envenom
Ah ok
that's a core foundational gameplay feature of the spec
just didnt know if it was a me problem
nop
ty
yeh idk this build is weird
do you want me to fix it for him
is the wowhead more uptodater?
we updated at the same time
it should all be the same info
for all I know, seli just decided to run acro in his m+ build as a recommendation
which would be fine
but the build looks goofy to me
still sepsis better ? think i missed exsang š¦
we don't use sepsis
the wowhead one looks 'right' ... tea + DTB
for M+
btw ty for all the hard work the videos. they have been just great.
ah so is there exsang back or kingsbane meta ?
that is indeed the thing, yes
please refer to the guides in the pins
ill rename it and add the no-acro version for those who like getting hit by mechanics in m+ :p
ah ok ma bad i've just checked discord guides
ty all
In AOE if im using spatter do I just want to refresh tempest when the timer runs out or like am I building with evicerate in AOE or Fan?
what
rename deez

crimson tempest is a bleed you want to maintain in aoe always
@balmy condor real talk though, if you were to pick up acro, what would you drop?
Ok so I realize I didnt word that very well.
If I have splatter am I wanting to build with fan or evicerate
I mean your build is perfectly reasonable if the goal is taking leeching and acro
yeah basically
choice was like
lethality vs ER
cuz i dont think vigor is the play
it's just like a solid 3% worse overall
ye
Hey Whispyr, why is it that your plater profile flashes?
like, the bar flashes white, is there a specific reasoning behind it or what?
i feel like... leeching/acro is worth 3%, but thats just my opinion ofc. so ill add the ultra omega maxdps build even though i dont recommend people play it :p

acro being worth 3% isn't only your opinion
i have no clue what that is
realz said it himself, it's a dps talent even if it does nothing for sim dps
Hmm, weird
the Leeching Acro is still the recommended build as default on IV btw. just FYi.
I originally thought it could be ticks of my bleeds, but idk about that now
well yeah, thats been my stance for a long time as well
yep, I can definitely add the leeching + acro into wowhead as well
just want to make sure we're on the same page
i know. i personally, as the author, believe it to be the superior choice. but i should still offer you, the reader, the highest dps choice too, otherwise im not informing you correctly. so ill add that build to the page, itll just take a bit before its pushed live
And it only seems to start once Caustic spatter is on.
Not sure how it is this season but last season had a fair bit of spinners that you could continue hitting with acro
stop guilting me into adding shadowdust to my guide
was pretty nice
caustic spatter turns the plater green
Yeah, but after its applied, and it turns green, it flashes white, trying to get a recording of it rq
<3. I'll add Acro Leech build to my set.
yeah like, it was definitely a delierate choice. i was like "no acro? fuck that" and then i realized that it meant i basically have 3 choices between vigor, er/rc or2/2 leth, so i went with leth.
do you have a fancy name you want to call it
also shroud cooldown over iron stomach
too late
that's definitely a pick
i put it like
Got to 8 and 1953/2500 to 9. DMF was up for everything, though this character is not human. So, that's probably the difference right there
ye def a human difference, might decide to giga hate myself and do the pvp weekly too
gives 1k rep
o.o
i feel most people
will probably see more value from stillshroud than iron stomach
fair enough
with the pvp weekly + the rares I should be able to hit renown 10 on my alt tomorrow
many a run was ended cuz "wipe, no shroud, go out"
Lmao I searched up rotation guide and @balmy condor comes up so looks like I have all the info i need
how is shroud value this season?
pretty solid
yeh I been crankin
heyo ! As lang as we“re sittung on old tierset, should we delay kingsbane several seconds after deathmark so 4pc bonus is buffing last seconds of kingsbane?
no
the bfa dungeons had a fuck ton of extra trash
so shroud was giga useful
shroud can typically be replaced by invis pots ofc, but like... shroud is very good in many dungeons
Guess we only have 2 df dungeons now so there isnt as many āevery mob is invis sightā dungeons now
waycrest, dht and brh all have at least 1 very good use to shroud
shroud is taken for GG?
atal as well
Pretty sure doti is as linear as can be
Except for the one big trash area with the portals
you mean the pug killer of fort weeks?
I really hope next xpac has more open dungeons again man

But it being nearly all underground worries me
then people will complain that rogues are necessary
like they did for all of legion & bfa
Eh
tru
Idk I thought SL was a great balance of the two
wtb pylons back
As much as people shit on SL ,dungeons were great
not the scuffed as fuck df version we have
that kills you half the time cuz you forget you have to move away from the robot
best I can do is a brez with a 25% failure rate, take it or leave it
hypest announcement of blizzcon was cata classic
only 1 more expansion and we get to enjoy good wow

tbf sub in cata is pog as fuck
nothing will top combat in wrath for me
prayge they skip wod after
sorry pal
wod wasn't even that bad, there was just nothing to do
I'd rather play wod + bfa for 6 years than ever play shadowlands again
depends what part of SL
was very cool going into beta with 3/4 of our covenant abilities either not working or not existing
We need wod classic so we can have Twitter integration and the selfie cam patch
sd because i am a pug hater
any WA for tracking if have snapshot properly?
I think notter and @slate crown were working on one
What is likely going to be PI pri for raid?
It tracked kingsbane damage iirc
assassination rogue unless uhdk gets a buff
yeh it's like assa rogue, uhdk
and then some crazy shit
MM hunter
and a mage spec
or something
Dang ok so what i heard was true
I think top 4 is uhdk, sin, bm and then mm
oh is bm good now too
Ik this is the assassin channel but did outlaw get any less arthritis enducing this patch?
more arthritis
no 
Fuck
it's faster
Guess im just playing assassin then lol
Outlaw is zooming like crazy
so u think outlaw is more worth this patch?
imo itās better, i may return to it
we need wod classic because its the best iteration of combat that has ever existed in wow
still hurts
do we have average Dps sin rogues are busting with PI?
i thought it would be subtlety .... so dont know wich spec i choose x.x.... i played last season retri pala and rerolled to rogue now... i lvled to 70 with assa, but dont know what would ne better for high keys and myth raid
take whatever assassination sims at and add 12-13k
Am I not supposed to spam envenom if Iām running the blood build for keys
I feel energy starved when I do that
honest answer? outlaw; copium answer? assassination
this is fun gameplay no?
aright, tham outlaw xD
thats awesome
i mean it seems appropriate imo
i mean
playing outlaw makes me vanish, put a gun between my eyes repeatedly, until i finally do the pistol shot
Between the eyes is what i wanna do to myself when i play that spec
only one of those abilities requires melee range

great minds think alike
lmfao
unironically outlaw has better theme and flavor, youre litearlly gunning down people. idk pretty piraty to me 
gunning people down would be something a marksman would do
pirates sword fought and shot cannons more than guns
or americans
outlaw is the worst thing to happen to combat rogues
bazinga
pirates in fact havent been gunning people down all that often
common misconception
its like how surv hunters felt when they got turned into a melee class
usually they immediately ran away the moment a proper authority showed up
i was gonna say american pirates but stealthi stole my joke
just like outlaw players
when u rate outlaw and assa, is assa a+-tier and outlaw s-tier?
even proper cutthroat highwaymen wouldnt really use their guns that often
cause the style of outlaw fucks me up xD
I rate assa as A tier and outlaw as O tier
tooooo based
in terms of m+, outlaw will just be better in everyway
in terms of raid, with assassination being the new poster child for simping (PI/Augvoker buffs) it'll probably end up close
subtlety is completly out of theme?
subtlety competes with outlaw in ST and simped assassination if you play the shadowdust build
Oh ok so youre really just using fan to apply your non lethals?
and sub is also solid in m+, but still worse than outlaw
outlaw just does bonkers damage right now
idk if it stays or not
i would be surprized if outlaw does not get a slap on the wrists
I would too
they are beating everybody by a mile
considering all 3 specs got absolutely beat with the nerf bat for being this strong early in 10.0
outlaw suffers from being a rogue, rogues aren't allowed to be that strong
Hey, is the afenar WA package updated for 10.2?
if they were a purple or blue class would be fine
idk, outlaws litearlly the best spec in the entire game if you pull <= 8 mobs, but you pull a 9th one and suddenly its not that great
like i remember on PTR they were getting gapepd by boomies, mages, dh...
I mean they don't balance around massive pulls
so
i know, ofcourse, but i also doubt theyre gonan enrf a spec that probably wont even end up being that insane in keys
what was the dmg difference between sub and outlaw on 8 target sim?
so š
like real question?
close to 250k
sub needed 12 targets to beat outlaws 8
but also subs turbo bad in aoe rn, we lose to sin until 9 targets i think
the saving grace for assa in m+ is that augvoker is still kinda mandatory, and assa actually works well with it, outlaw does not, so we make up some of the difference (especially on st) not by ourselves, but cuz aug
lol
Is outlaw still just hitting buttons fast or do I need to use brain?
we've lived long enough to turn into the villain we've hated
same for sub in keys
really good with aug
we lose so much st compared to outlaw for going an m+ build
but its actually recovered through aug
^^
that wasnt the case before

Full pack is linked in those as well with the preview
You can also bring a healer priest since shadow is down there and enhance for windfury and now you got a group going

bring a prot warrior too for bshout
or a vdh for chaos brand
yolo
build the group around the assassination rogue to compete with outlaw
TY!

Pooling Practice Tool
think it was smth like 15% last time whispyr mentioned it
oh nice, thats much much better than i thought then
I assume between DTB and AP neither is really just easier than the other right
i thought ambush was supposesd to just replace mutilate when in stealth now no?
but, contrary to the belief of every outlaw player ever, they cant actually do that damage in game, becuase no one plays the spec as well as the sim does
^ guy about to have a mental breakdown 
but youre right!
idk though, looking at ptr performance i doubt outlaw is even in top 3 highest damage specs in the game (in keys)
outlaw will be very sought after
cuz its an easy pick, its been good for a long time, so no one will give it a second thought
and itll likely perform very well across the board
it'll definately overperform early on, new season, low ilvl, lack of pathing, people are gonna pull low
and outlaw just destroys
it depends a bit on what the season will end up being like. i can see outlaw being very solid this season because theres a fuckton of bosses you can play with trash
but then you start pulling more and more packs and at that point its hard to justify brining outlaw when you can bring aug mage havoc or aug boomie havoc or aug boomie mage
but also i do think that hte closer the tuning, the more impactful the raid buffs
dont @ me but comp this season will be protwarr, havoc, enhance, rogue, disc.
myabe theres some wizard comps
thats the comp we're running this season but with ppal
Woah seli playing it real dangerous there
no aug, i know
but thats because i expect them to realize that having a dps spec give permanetn rallying cry is kinda stupid
get him outa the kitchen
Yea not having Aug is a LOL
and nerf it

this isnt even the worst part of aug
it most certainly is
Everything is the worst part of aug
can anyone explain this? how can sudden demise do damage but not kill the target? It reads like it kills the target instantly if the conditions are met but it clearly does not
The entire spec
what oxi said tbh
they nerfed throughput of aug pretty significnatly
like the fact that the spec makes ur healer heal more
and ur tank becomes immortal
is what breaks the game
the problem is that the spec makes keys way easier for tanks and healers
you basically play the keylevel at 2-3keylevels lower in terms of survivability that aug brings. no other dps spec does that
like just ebcause htis dumbass spec exists, u just pull infinite, and u live it and heal through it
exactly!
but thats not been addressed yet
theyre like oh we'll reduce aug damage a little
and its like, that doesnt really matter
They don't know how to address it without making the spec so dirt it might as well not exist
idk, i think there are ways
@balmy condor Hey Sexy Beast. I thought I'd pay you a compliment before I @ you with questions none stop the whole season. Do you think assa will be competitive in M+ against other rogue specs ?
cant wait to have my personal augvoker pop his shit and at that exact moment some DH felrushes into his meleerange and gets the ebon might instead of me

thats why we have prescience seli
you think any aug player can even spell that?
thats fair
Dont gotta spell it to push it BB
hey^^ so when i dont like the style of outlaw its the best decision for my to play sub? im totally new in rogue, but i think assa loose a lot of time by hide and sub seems fun too
i played with retri high keys, so 22-23 and was in myth progress in aberrus so i dont wanna choose a spec, train it and than its trash xD
istg sin is so sleeper
this spec feels so good
and probably is good at what it does
UGH I really dont wanna dance and play ambush! Save me !
If I dance and press ambush I and rupture I might as well be a sub rogue. Cry! š¦
try the 3 specs, see which one you enjoy. for Mythic raid all 3 should be good. sin might be the best even. for M+, at that levell all 3 will be more than good enough, outlaw might end up being a bit better but all 3 specs should be good enough to time those levels of keys
ty
Where is the updated Talent Tree?
in the game
I meant as a Guide
pins
Yeah but was this tested by Whispyr? I dont trust anyone but him.
he is the one that writes the wowhead one
oh ok, sorry
best way to use rep tokens? should i just rip the 2500 one?
some people get an alt to 10, to get you the 100% bonus rep thingy for your main to use it. but idk man that sounds turbo cringe
Rip them on an alt and save them on your main
isnt that bad took like 4 hours
you only need to be degenerate if you wanna do all the way to 10 today
thats not too bad
at least someone trusts me
I don't trust me

What took you 4 hours, you mean doing all the non degen rep stuff on the alt? But it didn't get you to 10 right?
nah i didnt degen and i got to 8
so its pretty easy to ten this week
There you are š
But you did confuse me. There's a few builds over there on Wowhead and I have no idea which is "BiS"
Brill ta, was wondering how the grind looked
I know that No Dance is a No Go...but build for M+ is confusing
if "BiS" is "most damage", then you're looking at dance in raid and hybrid in m+
Got you
dance as assa feels wonky af, its gonna take a while for me to get used to that š¦
I refuse to play dance. On principle.
we shoulda make a stand
or a union
"Rogues against Dancing"
is there an alternative? i know its less damage but still?
how is assa compared to outlaw in m+ hows the aoe and st? Is one better than the other one?
There's a no dance build on wowhead

shadow dance no?
Im simming lower dps lul
these are all very good questions that are somewhat challenging to answer when the patch has only been live for less than 12 hours and its still another week until the new m+ season even opens
Time to go outlaw by the looks of things
I'm happy that dance replaced ER. Hate that ability
did the change to blindside stick where it overwrites mutilate with ambush?
I went from simmed 110k dps to simming 94k dps with the new rework
Using dance / ER is a 1k dps difference
what can a man do to get his acrobatic strikes backš
talent into it
from tea?
do we always sync dance and kingsbane?
Would you run arterial for lower keys?
I'm thinking zoldyck might be nice for that, but haven't had time to toy with it
"I would also recommend this to anyone interested in farmer lower level keystones, ..."
thats what he wrote in his guide about arterial
Am I doing something wrong? It feels like my energy is starved in my opener now? https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/rotation-cooldowns-pve-dps
did you apply poisons
Has something else changed as im simming for about 18k less ST dps
You got me. That was a test
Is everyone sticking to sin? sims suggest sin is balls now
Sin is suffering from some bugs right now in game. Sims reflect those bugs and are therefore lower than they previously were by a fair margin.
sims can lick my balls + its bugs lol
Based actually
y'all should stop asking about specs man
oh ok, whats the bugs
if you play on the level where shit matters, you would know whats strong or weak anyway and have 3+ alts ready 
Major one is the 2pc set bonus stacks fall off way sooner than they should when reaching cap, which has high impact on cooldown windows
Wild to me people wanna know sim dps week 0 to base their whole patch choice on
but big numbers 12h into the patch go brrrr 
man
be happy when 50% of your abilitys actually fully work as intended 12h into the Patch

I'm a little confused about Sudden Demise. So it doesn't consume your dots?
I will not put on the pirate hat
you guys think since PI is good for sin now
sin can use the PI scapegoat
to justify buffs?

I like high apm tbh
most fun sin variant for me
look at it again in 3-4 weeks
was when vendetta was a 45s cd
Anyone have link to the updated talent guide for 10.2 for assasin rogues
Where a weapon is doing 6% of their damage they canāt even get yet
Itās in the pins
Ugh. Acro dps loss is pretty significant š¦
Whatās acro dps loss?
I will not fall for the drop acro meme
acro loss is so huge, you wont get invited to rwf pugs anymore !
acro enjoyers are the real ones
Iām gonna play acro in m+ for sure

Pooling Practice Tool
yeah pb size is massive now D:
i dont get the math how toxic boots can beat Stat embellishments
rn we got so good scaling on crit mastery haste
scaling

get off that "muh scaling" koolaid
it never has been a real thing over the last decade
should i be using envenom as much as i can? or should i be using it just before the buff falls off?
guide explains it
in cd windows spam, outside of cd windows maintain buff is the tl:dr
Besides not pooling and the double shiv window, is there anything mechanically different about Kingsbane window compared to the maintenance rotation?
ty
Just confirming I understand what I read
Maybe im not seeing it, but any reason why rotation says to finish most things on 4+ CP in opener? isnt it normally max -1 since we have 6 CP in total?
Or is it just to fit as much things into KB and SD window?
It changed
Its changed a bit with the talent tree as you could technically overcap if both weapons crit on your mut on 4cp
4 cp was possible be4 aswell
its just that the current energy-into-cp-into-dmg logic changed
+4 set wants back to back envenoms
Did I hurt you, brother?
that 4+ thing messing with ma brain
just envenom at 4 cp if u crit mut i guess
I mean thats literally what i said
You better of finishing on 4
As cps are more valuable now
Instead of the chance to overcap
so even outside of cd's the rule is always finish 4+?
I just change my 4th CP to green too for my WA and its fine?
cant wait to get included into the pi discussion in raid again
should include that "envenom chain" means "be at like ~80% energy and then start" tbh
Do we know how often we can get sparks? I've gotten 1 spark with just doing quests atm
Yeh surprised he missed that bit. Unless i missed where he said that while skimming
Every 2 weeks same as s2
should be 1 spark this week then half a spark every week after no?
its litearlly the normal assassination opener in most regards
the biggest change is dance->reapply bleeds and vanish at the end of KB
everything else is just standart
Yeah super weird man idk
Iām surprised I missed that bit too
Considering I didnāt
And you blasted past the actual explanation
Skipped to the tldr easy version
do i let every bleed applied via nightstalker tick out before reapplying?
moderates RH
suprised that people dont read

yes
thanks!
empowered stuff=let run out and instantly re-apply the second its gone
I did not play sin before
yo whisp
without 4set we just spam envenom and ignore chaining it?
What macro conditional would I use to trigger on stealth? [stealth]? or some [stance:X] variant?
Hi guys, how apm-intensive is the new assa rogue in m+? I can't play Outlaw due to a wrist condition and always liked the slower playstyles but I want to try melee instead of ranged.
~gcd capped in aoe, but no off gcd stuff
so like
~60
wow whispyr stuff is too confusing
simplifies it
why didnāt you mention the actual rule?
hereās both the long version and the short version
weird that you missed the long version

You do the same shit
The pooling rule is a catch-all
You never deviate from the rules
kk
just wanted to know for early prog with probs no 4set
so WAY slower than outlaw?
Yeh bro just explain it properly š

Like these pooling conditions were always basically the same pooling conditions for like the last 2 expansions.
They just didnāt matter enough to justify the headache of trying to get people to read 2 or 3 paragraphs until now
Energy changes make it better
Sanguine makes it better
Tier makes it better
Am I missunderstanding how sudden demise procs or is it bugged for you guys?
Been testing it out in some low keys and on quests and sometimes it works just fine and procs the reasonable amount of damage and at other times it does not proc at all or super late.
Open world mob was easily in execute range with its hp and my dots ticked from 50-34-7% and then took another sec or so before it actually executed the enemy. The mob was 100% in execute range right at 35%.
Tried 2 dungeons aswell and it is very clear when it works since it pops enemies with big numbers but at other times it doesnt proc at all or if they are below 10% health (when they had multiple chances to proc before)
Have noticed that my poisons also reset again every time i zone to a different instance-.- ^^
You make it better @balmy condor 

demise is only ABLE to proc in execute range. you still need to have enough remaining bleed damage on the target to pop it
the more actual hp the mob has, the lower is has to get for those bleeds to pop it
I know. what I mean by this is that I had 100% enough damage to proc the execute right at 35%
oh idk would need to see logs
I am 445eq had full bleed duration up and the mob was at 220k hp at 100%. at full bleeds my execute damage does over 300k dmg
but i haven't encountered that issue no
so I had more than enough damage to proc him at 35 š
So I dont understand why the bleeds ticket to 34% then 7 and only after that it procced the execute eventho my bleeds hat pretty much full uptime
In timewalking I had 0 problems and it was actually hillarious how op this talent is in there.
but in open world and in the +6 I tested it seems buggy multiple times where it just didnt proc the execute eventho they should have more than enough bleed damage remaining
tbf, everything is op in timewalking
play sub and 1shot kill packs with secret tech
sudden demise has been working weird for people all day
or use the wod blade dancer trinket and kill a boss in 2seconds
if you sneeze too hard in TW everything dies
probably some overloaded server nonsense or some shit
I mean sure.. But I had twice the damage than the other 2 people combined and I executed bosses at 35%. This is not something that happened as sub ^^
assas kingdom has come 
God is this fucking annoying that poisons reset every damn time I phase into a different zone-.-

yoooo, updated
They once did fix this for Enhancement with Flametongue and Windfury, canāt wait for them to do the same shit here
leeching poison resets on zoning since df release btw


Is the āno pooling before buildingā rule just there for envenom chains? Or is there another reason?
I still don't get by leeching isn't just a dam perma self buff...
you know like how the warlocks version of it was made a self buff so it stopped dropping when zoning in
cus leeching poison was a actual poison for a long time
aka flavor/fantasy and stuff
idk
fix it 
i'm just glad ALL poisons don't vanish anymore
Is it normal im at like -100 energy in the middle of combat?
now THAT was annoying
