Actually in reality why im waiting is I havent gotten an actual token yet
Amirdrassil 2 piece is bonkers strong
Get season 1 gear from the dream flight or time rift stuff and catalyze it
You always want to wear 2 bonuses
it's so easy to get 450 abberus tier
Preferring the amirdrassil bonuses always
im just
i get a tier piece in vault and then Ill swap to 4pc
hi, is there any spreadsheet that says what can we cloak/vanish?
No
will there ever be one? š³
as soon as you make it there will be
There was at one point and no one contributed to it so it ended up being a 2 man job to test every mechanic in the game
And obviously thereās issues with that
So then those people quit
And someone else tried to do it
And then realized that it was fucking dumb
And then quit
yep, understandable. thanks
And then we got rid of the whole thing
sounds reasonable
Itās just 95% of the time you just learn what to cloak by doing
So the sheet ends up being redundant
the 5 people who push keys find out by themselves anyways
anyone have a video displaying branch yet?
A video displaying branch?
the minigame
It spawns 3 orbs around you
pick up 2 and kite one orb
Idk what there is to display
yea i just wanted to see the visual
not the most complicated thing
bc people said it was frusturating
You ever run everbloom?
mhm
First boss has those water orbs going towards him
On intermission
Imagine that but much smaller
you mean pew pew burst phase
Itās much stronger than anything else
Even playing it poorly is still ahead of the next best by a good bit
yea i wasnt going to actively farm it if the minigame was horrid
@balmy condor think mydas might be decent on smolderon?
Probably not for assa
yea i simmed for myself as well xd the numbers are insane
just wanted an excuse to not run 20 ebs to be honest
but its not a hard key so whatever
feels bad
Everbloom is banger dungeon
Infernal bleeding is just amaazzzziiiiiingggggggggg
did 10 everbloom still no trinket
amaaaaaziiiiiiiinggggggggg
Iām glad youāre excited I guess
Weird thing to get excited over but ya know to each their own
just get lucky in the vault 
are people playing AP more than DTB on keys rn?
i asked yesterday but cannot find it anymore. Why does wowhead list another gar inside your KB/SD for nightstalker in the opener, IV mentiones only to do it during your 3 sec kingsbane vanish? oversight or any reason for it?
Cause you gar during the dance and then again during the vanish
@balmy condor will there be spatter/IB roles maybe?
????? No
Does it make sense if I macro Ambust and Mutiliate so if Ambust is not available it will use Muti and if available it will use Ambush?
I think I didnt played well on caustic so It didnt work for me š my caustic was %4 Im still trying to train my assas š but that infernal bleeding is %8 l
mhm
8% internal bleeding sounds like bad rotation or doing like a +4
Thereās no reason why it should be that high
I was just spamming rupture to see hows it in 16 everbloom :p
during the opener, or the points in the rotation where we dance/vanish - are you overwriting your non imp garrote with stealth garrote regardless of the current time on garrote?
Do you generally macro Dance and Kinsbane together?
cause im an idiot and forgot to put that gar during dance in there
Does anyone has a caustic spatter weak aura they could share ?
is there a spreadsheet i can show my raid lead
God I fucking wish there wasnāt
i got scuffed on tier tokens this week bc he has something that says its a 0.5% dps increase
idk where he found it
sadge
We love spreadsheets
im not brave enough to tell him its wrong
catalyst best friend now
Just go gear compare and replace your tier pieces with new tier pieces
Nope
Not entertaining that
wat
Itās been incorrect in the past

Ptr cycle has fueled me with a burning hatred for community spreadsheets
You'd have to sim yourself to get correct vaules
Damn guess no more toilet paper for us
Having to fight misinformation cause someone completely unrelated to any theorycrafting on the spec just decides to vomit numbers into an excel sheet
I have no opinion in any direction - it's just the sheet being referenced and linked in every space I can see
Thatās because people are lazy and when someone put in the effort they can spread bullshit like wild fire
My opinion is very insanely strong

Want nothing to do with that dogshit
With dm like anything else
during the opener, or the points in the rotation where we dance/vanish - are you overwriting your non imp garrote with stealth garrote regardless of the current time on garrote?
Well casting it when it comes up wouldnt be with dm now would it
you realise this misinformation is what guilds are using
Yep and itās infuriating
since esteemed tcs such as yourself aren't releasing* anything as compiled and easy to digest
im using double on use bark and fractured time thats okay right ?
!dagger
to get the same info as the sheet but accurately you need to spend like 15-20 mins on each spec discord digging through pins / searching sims
Correct, and when I did that for Assassination specific numbers people just turned around and took those numbers to compare to other specs. Sims were never meant to compare specs to each other
if you play aertical precision, do you still only double shiv for your kingsbane every minute?
That was never the goal of sims
And yet you have people now just ripped giant charts with sim stacks
it's probably the thing simulations are worst at displaying
I like sheets just for gearing purposes lol at least a gland at them. My gulls isnāt pushing CE just heroic, play what we want lol
because each classes sim is like a platos cave of that class
thing is people want answers to questions like who gets 4pc, who gets pi
etc
and making each individual sim pi / wft / tier is effort
that people don't want to go through
I wish I had a simulation that would tell me which stocks to pick
but no matter how badly I want it, raidbots just wont tell me that either
Lmao
I feel like the strength of a spec should be determined by the tcs winning in mortal combat against each other
That chat is bis
It's not even about the effort - the sims aren't really comparable like that cross-class or even cross-spec a lot of the time.
Bloodmallet already supports windfury and pi, with established, public sim profiles, submitted by theorycrafters officially
i wish whispyr were omnipotent
is there any way to sim with custom stats ?
I mean those do actually exist.
But good luck getting hold of them
Tier bonuses are very difficult to compare just by nature of item level, trinkets, talent swaps
Itās not possible to completely accurately evaluate that
Simulationcraft however, does not have this feature
And thatās why you donāt see it supported on things like bloodmallet
Because like
Thatās dumb
But the community decided āgive me the dumb thing I donāt careā
And so here we are
Idk if this was answered, but I have it so my caustic target is green name plate, so I can quickly find it again, since there is only ever one. No other WA
Guilds blindly following sheets like that are literally falling into the pitfalls that āesteemed theorycraftersā as you put it warned the community for years not to fall into
Thatās their fucking problem
Iām not strong enough to convince thousands of guilds to stop using info
Honestly due to how shit tier is to sim my guild kind of does a tiered free roll
Anyone with 3set>1set>0set>2set>4set.
Itās not perfect by any means. But it keeps people gearing and no one moans so thatās a win.
No one is
The tide just rolled over and decided this is what people want and this is what they do
And theorycrafters are powerless to that tide
honestly. remove master looter and this wouldnt be a problem
We just sit here and scream into the void that itās stupid
And hope anyoneās listening
But usually itās either not loud enough
Or they donāt wanna hear it
(they arent)

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Did you?
Head empty no listening no thoughts
I have no combat Stealth, Combat vanish macro but somehow it casts Vanish out of combat. Any idea why?
Can you put your macro in here?
#showtooltip Vanish
/cast [nocombat] Stealth
/cast [combat] Vanish
/cast [combat] Thistle Tea
it literally casted Vanish after stealth when I pressed again
then you were in combat
if Im in combat then how come I can cast stealth?
or it's on your main bar - and the one that comes up on your stealth bar isn't the macro but the actual spell
can't seem to find it
Me neither
Oh
Try this one
Some other blue name
/cast [combat,nostealth] Vanish
/cast [nocombat] !Stealth
/stopattack```
Asked the same question
Ahhhh
And I confused you two
That makes more sense
do rogues still have aoe shiv?
Then to get out of stealth just like FOK or something
Anyway, you always overwrite the garrote regardless of the garrote
Gotcha
Scary, cause I spam stealth, some times you only have a couple frames to get it off
ty
Hey, do you guys think it is worth to use first spark to upgrade Thorns Boots?
I will try when vanish is up again. Could it be that I have target selected so game thinks Im in combat?
Yep
no - something else is going on, i dont know what.
Is it on your stealth bar though?
like your main bar that swaps
list everything obfuscated by only showing as percentages
OMG
Yeah my macro was not on bar with stealth bar my bad
hahahhaha I feel stupid now š
š
That would mean I canāt actually post any links to sims, and would have to do extra work to make sure Iām hiding numbers, and then get called a sandbagger for the 70 thousandth time 
nah man happens to all of us, that's how i knew 
Works perfectly, thanks!
Extra work with no proof and less clarity for more abuse sounds like a bad deal
I just learned what being a sandbagger means
The Rogue Discord really is a place of learning
my other suggestions is have your spreadsheet command link to top gear
Yeah just like the pins and the faq link directly to guides and those get read all the time right 
hola holaa
Does Nick of Time sim correctly? Right now on my gear it just sims 0.1% better then another regular dagger same ilvl
Oh those are links, I thought those were place holder titles
quick question, we apply a new garrote everytime we use vanish or dance right?
Sounds like you forgot to enchant it
no
Yes
is
bait their click and maybe 1% sim themselves
thankss
damn look at that ask frequency
All of those combos are using the nick of time
You people all look the same

So what colour are the voices in your head?
Dam subs
im on my 27th run for this dagger how is this even possible, ive lost the 1/6 14 times
that's you admins fault for making sub colour higher prio
is loot spec bugged?
If I say āthe bad onesā is that cancellable
im og sin
they identify as gray
You can get both rolls but remain red
how do
I think in twitch chat
I dunno, i did it somehow
Not at all. Youāre the captain here
I'd have a different color if I didnt stop hanging out in ravenholdt after I stopped playing rogue/got swept up in the WEWLADS apocalypse
ancient historical reference
Assa too fun
Oh god I just got nam flashbacks thatās some forbidden lore
I think sub is pretty fun though too
you only have sin role, you did the dark brew emote thing, but not sub channel
More like morally gray.
I know right?
Your not sub, you got the subclass, like KB, Sbs
Ancient incantation
oh that one doesn't count ? I didn't know that.
I know the dark arts
fml haha, need to sober up. thanks
God theres a name on the absolute tippiest of my tongue and I just cannot grasp it
Created by dumb scientists
Youāll get on top of it at some point in the future. Not near future but future
just run west very fast, time won't move, then it'll just randomly be the next day
1PM here EU diff
I just looked up "wewlads" and am more confused than before
I have a high degree of confidence that any search results yielded by that term will not point to what I'm referencing
Hey, I'm pretty new. I'm not sure I understand wat item we craft. Do we always just craft the boots or do I craft something else since I didn't play last patch?
I found an 8 Hour WoW Stream on Youtube
heretic
the measure of time passing - seems kind of pivotal to so many things. How fast athletes run, how long it takes to do something, how long someone can expect to wait for something, how long it takes to get somewhere.
Kind of like how everything sin revolves around Kingsbane - the world seems to revolve around time.
Weāve had to mute for it a couple months ago
And it aināt it
I donāt wanna do it again
does someone who has faster reaction time, react faster? or experience time slower?
the first
Iām too alcoholized for this
Relative to the Kb
That which shall not be named
okay but look
What if an athlete raced against a turtle
but the turtle got a head start
Then the athlete needs time to catch up
but in that time the turtle got another, smaller lead on the athlete
So he needs to catch up to that
and so on and so forth
which means the athlete actually can't ever beat the turtle
Thereās a thing for that
Greek thing
Dude does half of the remaining distance in a race every second
And never finished the race
Yea it's one of Zeno's paradoxes
Ye that one
yeah ... what like eventually he'd be just going like .000001 cm a sec or something?
infinite sums are cooked
find religion or a bed
the conflict that arises when applying philosophical logic to the physical world
whispyr why you suggesting crit on rings in the wowhead guide
i mean that's just pure math though honestly
i'm kinda stacking mast
That's approaching Infinity, that's why things =1
The infinity hotel with infinite rooms that can't satisfy an infinite number of inifinite guests - that concept pops up in a few places
(1/2)^n where n-> inf
so i don't think it'll meet that speed
Religion for millennia has existed as a an easy way to prey on the poor, uneducated, and the weak
^
I aināt afraid to say it
That's so me fr fr
Bit of an edgy pessimistic view
Magic not being real is a very important fundamental constant for living as a critically thinking adult

It's also comfort for a lot of people
any such significantly advanced technology to the common man is indistinguishable from magic
Right, but that - nope not doing this my therapist said I have to not do this
āGive me 15 shillings and Iāll cleanse you of your sins before you die of the plague, dw though gods watching over youā - 16th century priest probably
Cleanse me of sin? But I main sin
Tbf they used to sell peeps tickets to heaven
something something not for profit, something something no tax, something something wages..
soz
But yeah ||no recorded ancient prescription for the genesis of the universe and life has ever been correct|| OK GOODNIGHT
Why is Sin suddenly having theological discussions?
Yalnu in everbloom casts genesis though

Yanlu in everbloom is tremendously thick
and it is ancient... 
sin only suddenly had theological discussions?
Religion has been cooking tho
Like Anselms ontological argument just states that god is a perfect being, therefore god must exist
murder makes one reflect eventually
Idk bro I don't engage with you heathens a lot tbf 
sin has all sorts of discussions
Itās either this or āread guideā for the 700th time an hour idk
its great
this is just offtopic 2.0 - doom or theology, we gotta do something while we pooling
Hmm?
Gotta break up the monotony
That's fair enough
we are theological assassins
if we get people question about god, then that's less people questioning about whether kb or vanish first is better
too much free time to reflect on philosophy between bursts

ponder meta ethics whilst pooling
Enrich yourself spiritually while pondering energy
"when should i do x or y" answer: "what would jesus do?"
His name is James
lol
And heās farming darkheart thicket for a C tier trinket
Or so Iām told
By people who definitely know
Pooling in the dungeon build 
(Twitch chat idiots)
we shall do the same then
remember, occasioanlly you must not rupture for secret techniques
Tempted to take vicious venom on the utilitarian build in keys and CT in single target just to see how slow it can go
I think I took whatever one you had on your wowhead guide
The no AP one
Hybrid
Every time I drop envenom and donāt have multiple ruptures out is real funny
Hands off keyboard and pet mochi for 10s or something
Very based spec
my secret technique might actually end up rupturing something
The prio damage is so good
do i understand it correctly to spread rupture as well to every target that lives long enough before using env (outside of kb) but prio env over rup during kb?
You want to rupture until youāre permacapped on energy and you have your scent stacks maxed
After that safe to ignore the ruptures for a while
I've been playing the blindside build because the other one had negative energy on bosses
someone knows how to do counter on garrote, like on rupture?
copy the weak aura and replace all rupture triggers with garrote?
thank you, that means 5 to max scent? is that enough for energy?
With a coupe of garrotes yea
is rupture and garrote smart targetting affected?
I think i'm gonna get the pvp crit/on-use trinket today
Incentives to garrote with that silence and DR is big
anyone have a weak aura that tells you to use thistle tea when 6 seconds remain on kingsbane?
i should probably ask in sub channel, but does the rupture smart target apply to their stuff?
The best is just a progress-bar timer for Kingsbane with tick marks
I don't believe so
Just add sound conditions to you kb weakaura at 3 and 6 seconds ezpz
probs tied to IC
Notters glows I think
ok ty
The kb high score one
it's smart @oak tangle
the rupture - goes to a target that doesn't have it
and if they all have it - it refreshes it on the lowest-duration-remaining one
ah ok thanks
That was to the sub question - but applies to yours as well i think (except +1)
thanks for the perfect kingsbane weak aura whyspyr 
actually probably thanks to the person that made it 
somebody know if you can pick up fyraak seeds and use cloak against mechanics
or does that count as "got hit by it"
i saw someone ask that earlier and i dont think they got an answer
would be good to know for sure
man.. sometimes in keys I do great dps on bosses and sometimes I look at the meters and I'm like "WHAT? where's my damage????"
why dude? :p did I fail on Kingsbane? let my envenom fall off?
mhm mhm
I cast shiv in the wackiest spots and itās not consistent
Small brain moment every time
same š
just in the nick of time
the non arterial precision build in keys feels better to me than using it
That was me last season lmao
I got super lucky on branch though so even though literally nothing else has dropped for me I still canāt complain much
i can make that tier?
I would like if Nicholas would stop avoiding me though
after upgrading?
Iām pretty sure dreamsurge items turn into s2 gear still
which neck
o cool
any neck realy
oh dang i just remembered i have 6/8'ths of a Papa Johns pizza in the fridge
i think dht drops the best one?
okay, forget tuning and all, from a fun perspective, u think assa rota is fun in m+ ?
yeah i think it's fun
sin has always been "fun" in m+ though (to me)
Itās fun until my kingsbane target dies early
yeah im not the biggest fan of it being tied to one target
aka always?
lol i think other classes have a weakaura or plater profile - to focus down any target that gets KB applied to it.

Actually thatās a fantastic idea
Might need to do that on my alt keys with guild
I mean yeah if their goal is to do better on the meters by hurting the group
cause that's a lot of spatter lost too ya know
just do what stealthi does - bring an aug and a spriest
True neither of them are doing any damage
Then you go into waycrest and goliath uses thorns on you
i hate that place
I don't believe it, surely photoshop
aug
is so much bait rn
they all suck
more then they allready did before
It's actually crazy
legit all worldquest level players that got 9k r.io last season cus aug was even more op then it is rn
like the average iq of augvokers went down by 50% with patch release
now its SLIGHTLY nerfed and they all suck so hard
trashpack at 15%health?
BREATH OF EONS

do you still only use both shiv charges for the kingsbane window during aoe with the AP Build?
okay so yknow how i said fall was probably the easiest dungeon
I withdraw that statement
large iridkron and large goo dragons

AD easily easiest one
Yo, quick q, I main outlaw, but I'm curious wether Sin really does more in ST rather then outlaw
ur a hooker
am not, i dont take money for sleeping with yo mom
i do it for free
blackrook timer very free
!up
it's like the new NL
just pull one pack at a time
feel like you're going too slow
finish with 6 minutes left
are theyre any break pt with sin? outlaw rn and I have zero haste hahah trying to get some better stats before switching? whats are your guys thoughts on when to switch stats wise so it doesnt feel awful
is it worth breaking old 4 set for 30 ilvl upgrades?
There are no stat breakpoints at all
Playing assa with full outlaw gear is not a big loss at all
(because stats doesnt matter nearly as much as most people seem to think, its like a 2% loss to have the full outlaw gear compared to the assa setup in bis gear)
Sim it and see š
For me once I had three pieces that were higher ilvl it became wurf
Before it wasn't

What exactly slice n dice do for sin?
proc more poisons
Okay I see
dslice sim still the way for m+ sim ye?
i still have lariat from 10.0
is it worth upgrading it?https://i.imgur.com/v7g6sp0.png
what tier piece slot do we not want?
Probably not if you want toxic patch and toxic thorn boots
Cant wear 3 embellishments
the one you donāt have
(:

and if its mainly for ilvl? all the others are 437+ but can't find any upgradeable neck in emerald dreams -.-
Dont waste your spark just to upgrade a neck for ilvl lol
jsut annoying that u can't buy neck from either timerifts, dreamsurge etc.
just get the pvp neck
Does someone know why top rogues go troll and not human?
447 and upgradeable
for honour?
And noe serious, why troll and not human?
Damn watching Method pov is 10 times more fun thaan Echo or Liquid ngl
maybe racial
can anyone share that kingsbane weak aura? wa deleted for me apparently š¦
do we get 2nd catalyst charge next week or not till the week after?

so most should have 4 piece next week then
if you got at least 1 raid drop and get ksm or heroic raid
and/or vault piece
Unless you are like the actual least lucky person on earth you should have 4 set
Cuz I think you'd technically need at least like 1 kinda rng drop to go your way for 4 set
atm i have 0 set. no luck on the earlier bosses. pugs seem to be struggling making it past council or larodar
That's a big oof, that kinda fucks with my plans of raiding on the alt rogues ._.
Was hoping people could at least pug up to smoldy or tindral
it's kidna rough. since larodar is so healer reliant.
pugs are a bit rng
very much so
i joined several larry and nemo pugs who couldnt do anything
Yeah week one pugs are always sketchy but idk sometimes it's good
then on my kills i joined pugs that just one shot them
the problem. is you kinda want to start a pug from the beginning. either it's good from the start or bad from the start and doesn't make it past like boss 4
I miss the old days when raids were easy a fuck
this raid is still easy af though š¦
at least the normal is
yeah lmao that is what raid finder and normal are for
I agree that it's easy but even on normal basically every boss has 2x the mechanics of heroic lich king xD
lol now even guild groups want to have dps that synergy with aug evokers https://i.imgur.com/L4QaRBN.png
I'm just tryna pug my alts through mythic 
delete aug 
My poor ignored alt rogues stuck at 444 ilevel
I dont invite augmentation out of principlle fuck them
Idk if the sub rogue is getting touched this tier, I think if I talent into dust the universe might disintegrate me on the spot
Outlaw fucks tho for sure
Shock build is kind of pug
What you mean by that
it's a good build to start off with
I like the hybrid build. Definitely miss blindside a little bit but meh
Problem with shock is the setup
I mean it sims higher for me too at diff fight times
Itās too long
Learning assa with shock
Maybe in higher key when mobs will leave longer
jesus
Other problem is there are a lot of dj with very low health target
why is Ring of Contempt in our bislist if versatily is our baddest stat?
Im not in game but top 5 I think is Garrote , Rupture , Spatter , envenom ,Kingsbane?
curious are these raid boss still able to be reset with hunter/mage?

when i see tanks try. the boss just teleports the entire raid back in and one shots us
I think only hunters can
anyone got a nice witherbark trinket weakaura?
a blizzard employee has to manually spawn the boss every time it resets actually
they still allow it. but apparently only if your one of 2 classes
As far as I know there's only a couple bosses you can't hard reset and it's kinda obvious why you can't be of their arenas
Mages and hunters can reset every boss, even the ones in fucked up arenas
??
What can I say, it's part of the job
wtf 360 conquest for wintergrasp?
risk:reward
The thing they don't tell you is that you gonna have to run it, mathematically, 7 times before you finally get your win
is there a new stealth bug ? im so often get out of stealth š¦
but weirdly i got 360 from it but the 250 from the quest didn't count
when is it worth swapping to new tierset? 2pc or 4pc?
2p but sim
ty
where is the best place to gather stats based around talent usage. e.g. how many players are taking a Acrobatic Strikes and at what play level etc.
does OH matter for sin unlike sub n outlaw
it's pretty small
Here is a look at a cursed sim - but the point remains, it shows how much dps you add if you added a set amount of stats and includes offhand dps.
Which boss is the closest to a patchwerk?
Volocross
Literally is patchwerk 5 min
oh, fuck, can't use that
is this aoe?
My ST stats
Trying to help my friend out, but thats the one fight I died cause our tanks died and I had the highest aggro next to them.
Is volocross the one with the soak pools and the red circles under people (and the tentacles that slam)?
Yes
mans needs more mastery
why do they run around so much with debuffs
U can use nymue as well
But there is add intermission phase
mkay
Nah, what I'm worried about is comparing mine to his, cause he simply can't figure out how to get kingsbane down
Igira then
Its more the overall breakdown I'm worried about, he's having issues getting kingsbane to do more than 100k damage
total or per tick, jesus if per total wtf
they didnt apply poison on daggers
Well, total he did 1.66 million, which, even then, is still low
do they have poison on
i mean one place to look at too is movement - like if you're not hitting the boss that's huge
oh dear
lol what is he doing
Even in that its still really low
Gonna ask him that when he gets back, wife aggro lmao
high doubt that lmao
i mean i'd believe anything at this point
HELLLLLLLLL yeah lmao
my st
but not that much
You can see that he is from playing Amp and lethal
o tru
I told him to run the hybrid build
You aren't wrong
blindside enjoyers are true gamers
but he's been having issues deciding which spec, so
He just need to make sure when kb dot is on the boss he keeps it buffed with shiv. And to use thistle tea at six seconds left. Itās pretty simple tbh
no snd/maybe just poor uptime during kb???
Honestly, thats what I'm really thinking
If you plan on going Assa for raid and Outlaw for m+, how would you craft your gear? Which stats would be best here?
kbs that low
He also probably doesn't fully understand snapshotting either
did they play with acro at all?
during kb
go with outlaw priority honestly
cause hes prob used to acro
no. they're using the hybrid build from wowhead
But yeah, I think he is
case closed
I'll have to get his auras when he returns for sure
I swapped to acro in mine and i quite enjoy it. I dropped shadowdance 
Was thinking i'd have to go with one spec. Assa is really fun though so might just commit to it. You think we'll receive nerfs soon?
not, necessarily.
yes
I think Kingsbane gonna get hit so fucking hard no one will spec it
Cause this is the breakdown in a m+ key, not sure of what level, but regardless
literally every talent we take, even in the class tree, just revolves around Kingsbane. There's no choice.
That kills all the fun imo
I don't wanna drop SD for m+ because extra ICs are too nice
definitely using acro for raid tho
chain pulling as ass is so chill
Exactly, meaning he's messing SOMETHING up to get the KB so low that across an entire key it barely does anything
Wait, his evenom is very low as well, hmm
I hate it when no time to restealth tbh
gona have to check his energy use
wait 1.6m over an entire key? god dam
seems like it yeah
must be oom
i mean the dude obviously casted it like once
I feel like if you just hit it on CD, you do way more than 1.6M in an entire key
and pay no attention to tea or vanishes or shivs
god I wish I could get 1.6m single kbs lol
check shadow dance aura
Usually yeah
They're fuckin BEAUTIFUL man.
cause sd and kb should be macrod
highest I've gotten so far I think is 1.1ish outside of the dummy inflated damage bosses
You don't do 1.6M with it in an entire key because you're forgetting to shadowdance though lol
still working with a 463 mh though
how the FUCK?
must be 100% dmg boss
like i dont even run shadow dance
everbloom abuser
yalnu probably
lmao
or ozumat
My MH is lower than yours.
like the 20 million sudden demise earlier
f
I'm holding out for a 483 crafted next week
my record is 5.5m on yalnu apparently
oh that's actually a good idea
If you notice, he's also not using caustic spatter either.
had no luck with nick of time š©
(He has it talented btw)
So I skipped some stuff this xpac - to get the 483 - you gotta find someone, do a personal work order, and do you set the min quality to max?
I mean he just needs to read a guide honestly
I don't see how you wouldn't accidentally spatter at some point
oh hes one of those that spam ct
MMmmmm, nah
quite possibly just using fok only on aoe pulls
his crimson tempest would probably be a good bit higher, no?
nope its a dot
Touche
I mean we can also speculate all day - or just log one of his runs and post it
for kb I imagine they might just be applying it then swapping targets
the jury has come to a decision, hit dummies for 1 hour a day

oh that's a good theory
hits kingsbane, keeps tab-targeting, etc
funny thing he is LMAO
Actually, maybe.
definitely refer him the wowhead guide I think
Yeah probably not even any use in picking apart someone's logs - they just need to fundamentally understand their buttons
some confusion or misunderstanding of how the spec works
Out of curiosity, what's the dude's overall at the end of the dungeon, compared to the other 2 dps lol
Idk exact numbers, but he's saying its pretty bad.
Question about Nick of Time: When does the timestrike starts doing real dmg? I have one 463 Nick MH, and in 15 range keys, its doing around 0.8% dmg, but i've seen some of our madlads doing HUGE dmg with it
I mean this is gonna sound stupid - and i dont mean to judge anyone, has he tried sub?
it's pretty hard to mess sub aoe up in a dungeon environment
thats suchs a bullshit why can a dk grip me 3x in 10 seconds....
nope lmao
its a rng proc
when it procs on bigger hits, it does bigger dmg
Okay, and when having two, twice the dmg i'd imagine
can it proc 2 ticks of kb at the end?
it's rng . . . it can proc on probably anything not item based
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Is the gain high going 2p2p?
Making item to tier, is that character bound or acc thing?
Do not understand why i cannot do it on my 2nd rogue
Hey guys, can anyone explain to me the pooling thing ? I feel like i'm losing a lot of dps when on low energy with nothing to cast, or maybe this is supposed to happen ?
At what point should I consider breaking last seasons tier for non-tier of this season?
you get 1 charge per character this week afaik
thats your best answer
Do you aim to rupture all targets during a pull in m+?
i rupture most of them with IC
im not really tab targetting
i just rupture/garrote the same target
and let IC do its job
Guys.. what am I doingn wrong
how is my character seriously simming 40k lower than my outlaw in ST
Obviously I have 30 ilvl higher weapons as outlaw, but that shouldn't merit 40k dps
you have a 437 main hand
It just seems so weird
Even simimng with a 30 ilvl higher weapon it's only like 10k dps higher xd
anyone have a fancy WA for branch
i want it to do something like count seconds since activation, freezing the count each time it picks up an orb
and displaying 1/1/7 or 1/2/5 etc
outlaw sims way higher with equal gear aswell
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
look at the bottom sims for 448 ilvl ones
should i delay gathering witherbark branch orbs for the mastery buff to be active on the last kingsbane proc?
pickup 2 delay the 3rd
That's depressing. Thanks
Yeah, but i'm comparing to m+ spec for outlaw as well
How does Outlaw sim all the BtE reset stuff? It seems like it would swing wildly based on procs
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
But yeah I see on fuus sheet that sin dslice sims 100k less as well
ye outlaw gives up less ST in m+ build
sub gives up less too so
That's absolutely bonkers
it's just the nature of the beast
I wonder how sin will perform when people get tier etc
overall dps in real keys is very close with outlaw and sin
sin's gonna be slappin
its already slappin
Only reason I'm playing sin right now is because outlaw is frustrating when you dont hit procs
got branch and 8th 20
sin is just as good no joke
sin has its own frustrations but yeah i hear ya
its bit squishier, more bursty and have extra cc with iron wire
I'd argue OL is the better m+ pug spec
I have no idea what to do when my tank doesnt let me stealth inbetween pulls
i disagree because iron wire
Like, what do you do when tank just chain pulls constantly, and you have no dots up?
sin's dmg profile is really cringe if the tank won't pull for it
Pls someone tell me how desth mark works. Do i want to refresh bleeds before deathmark? Do i want to vanish before or after deathmark for improved garrote?
Doyou use a vanish and if it keeps happening, cry on subsequent pulsl
wtf do you do when you have cds and tank pulls petals in everbloom? you cringe
We're probably the least-dependent on restealths as we have ever been
its not @static glacier you just need to shift playstyle to play around Sudden demise instead of Kingsbane when its cringe pulls
nah, sin was less restealth reliant last patch
what do you mean shift playstyle? we do the same shit regardless
bleed everything with garotte, spread 6-9 ruptures and CT up
if you use vanish and dance for bleeds instead of making sure to save it for kingsbane
how do I explain it
because kingsbane will just die before it finishes anyway
my issue isn't about getting bleeds up
it's how much dmg lloss there is in using KB / DM
you use shivs and dances for more bleed dmg instead of shiv
cus nothing can live
yes i know
disregard kingsbane
but if you do what i say you will clap anyone in dps even in shit keys
shvis for bleed dmg and you talk about sudden demise?
im not saying my damage is low
yes
it's very good tbh, it's just my own personal struggle
no one benefits from shit pulls
getting mad at seeing kb targets die at 4-6 secs
ye but it doesnt matter
its not like you are gonna do way better in outlaw if pulls are shit
tbh assuming equal skill sin beats most specs in overall
ye
you guys have any good sin rogue weak auras?

Whereās a good place to find opener sequences Iām coming back from s1
wowhead guide
New to using dance
for keys it's not set in stone
situations change the opener
in general though you have 3 main aims before sending dm + kb

have garr + rup + CT up, have env up, have shiv ready to send before kb
Whispyr really went so hard on the 10.2 guide just take 10 min and read the pin
Yup Iām reading it now
Pls help im stupid, when only deathmark gets ready do i use vanish before or after deathmark for improved garrote and do i refresh rupture? I dont get it
are you playing kingsbane?
once I eventually get witherbark's branch, how many steps to the right or left do I need to go?
Yes
how is 2p +2p for us?
better than old 4p?
Thats what wowhead said to do so
Boots or dagger first craft? not gotten a weapon drop so still on my 447s
assuming you have applied dots to the target you'll play it (Envenom > Deathmark > Shiv > shadow dance > kingsbane > While you're in dance you can apply empowered garrote > 2nd Shiv at 8 or less secs on KB > vanish* at 3 secs left for master assassin on last ticks of kingsbane)
hope that makes sense
is a specific rogue spec considered the best right now?
we don't vanish before DM anymore
depends what for and who you ask, all three have things they're best at atm imo.
m+ and raids
Wow head says to vanish 3 seconds before kb ends
or its better to play one each
fixed it, ty for spotting typo
Ohh
All 3 specs are performing well for both raid and m+
Dagger or boots for first craft, i hate not gotten a weapon drop as of yet
!up
dagger is immediate power but more wasteful, boots is safest long term craft.
Sub is just less represented in mythic+ but will scale better eith 4p
sub on 1-4 mob pulls felt giga awful outside of cds for me
so then
i mean i will get the boots next week anyway
Sub on 1 target is very good
thanks for the answers first of all
and i got them on 447
so then which spec do you think is most fun to play
is sudden demise bugged
Deathmark makes all of your bleeds and poisons on the target have double debuffs on the target, effectively doubling their damage, contributions to Lethal Dose, and energy gain from Venomous Wounds. This is for all bleeds on the target at any time during deathmark, you do not need to recast your bleeds except as you normally would. If you want to know how and when to use vanish, please read the guide on opener and rotation.

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
all three are good, I'd say try all three for the content you're doing and see which you do best with. popular opinion is sin is best for raid generally and outlaw is best for keys
Thanks mate, i didnt play assa for a long time. But i dont understand if i van refresh bleeds in DM or if its a dmg loss or if i even have to refresh bleeds while DM. I mean if garrote is active- i do DM- should i then shadowdance/Vanish for getting improved garrote or not. Same thing should i refresh rupture even if its pretty fresh?
sub has some fights where it beats sin
@static glacier thanks bro, i was saying that in the context of the next question
Thank you very much mate, precise answer. Thats what i needed to know
!sims
the rupture reapplication in dance optimisation is giga tiny, don't think about it
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
Thanks!
just refresh rupture when it's in pandemic, once you're more comfortable then look into the small optimisations
Uh orbs are like 7 yards ish away from you in a triangle pattern every time, 2 in front of you to left and right and one directly behind. IDN how many steps that is
Ahh, hmm.
Theyāre always the same placement and drift toward you slowly. They actively home in on you so you donāt need to always chase them down. They are slow but if you arenāt moving a long distance and are basically staying near where you cast, theyāll find their way to you
They last for 20sec on their own before disappearing
Just use a proper Rupture weakaura - then you don't have to worry about optimizations it basically tells you WHEN to hit it.
Are there any sick weakauras in general for assa?

why does my single target spec does havbe aoe talents ._. ?
Yes, 2p2p is strong. But sims are all up to date, you can sim yourself to see the impact. Generally speaking though the recommendation will be to switch to 2p2p as soon as you are able
Go in sub and look at fuu's weakauras
maybe if you pay him enough he'll make some sin ones
Why
LEās weakaura is really good
Is there an optimal time to use Mydas running the shock build?
We have a bunch of sin WAs, including rupture tracking
This woulnd't be recommended if I'd have catalyst though right?
