anything else im doing wrong

#

lets say , self buff, no PI and max gear

junior aurora
#

you refreshed rupture too early in your first kingsbane window

oak tangle
#

i started the game in BFA prepatch / end of legion. i made a level 1 rogue, boosted a hunter, and immediately made a dh. I played DH for the entire prepatch / end of legion. whilst levelling my rogue from level 1. I know the ins and outs of rogue more so than dh because it was what i invested into. played rogue in season 1 of BFA once it was levelled and outside of 3 or 4 tiers, have played sin in all

junior aurora
#

you should have waited until vanish and then did garrote>rupture>mut or something isntead of the garrote >envenom > mut you did

strange python
#

so goal on vanish window is, getting a fresh garrote and rupture in ?

sad fumi

#

I'm trying

#

it's not workgin

strange python
#

is it sd kb shiv tea , or is it shiv tea sd kb ?

slate crown
strange python
mint valve
#

!wa

junior aurora
strange python
#

ye

junior aurora
#

its shiv kb/sd and then you hold tea until 6 seconds left in kb

strange python
#

ok

mint valve
#

anyone have a wa to track kingsbane/shiv/tea?

strange python
#

and befor all u press dm

strange python
#

but currently at work

#

u should find it anyway

junior aurora
#

!wa

strange python
#

or LE

mint valve
#

tea at 10 and 5, and vanish at 3? and shiv before kingsbane and keep it up the entire duration?

strange python
#

uh

strange python
#

shiv at 8 i believe, if only 1 charge

junior aurora
#

tea at 5 and vanish at 3

#

shiv before kb and keep it up throuhgout

strange python
#

ye

#

or like that

junior aurora
#

should always have 2 charges because you only use shiv in kingsbane

mint valve
#

no tea at 10?

junior aurora
#

no

mint valve
#

kk

junior aurora
#

only if you have multiple charges and you need the energy

jade abyss
#

I vanish on ~ 2,9 is that wrong?

junior aurora
strange python
#

dont ask, ... i know now why i always have 1 charge ... xD

slate crown
#

Vanish at 2.9 is much, much better than 3.1

strange python
neat horizon
#

so in order to get the timers right, i probably need to track kingsbane buff duration with a WA

strange python
#

wow ty

neat horizon
#

so that i vanish at exactly 2.9

halcyon hamlet
#

Whats pandemic range btw?

slate crown
#

You don't have to vanish at exactly 2.9

neat horizon
#

also probably need to track shiv but shiv cleaves so idk how that'll be effective

slate crown
#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

dusk onyx
#

can someone help me with my mythic logs, checkin if i do something horrible wrong?

slate crown
#

I mean, you could just look at the debuff duration on base UI and know what the timer looks like for when you need to do your abilities

#

that stores the same information

neat horizon
#

looking up is impractical

slate crown
#

Or you could use a weakaura to tell you a bit more reliably / precisely. Vanish only has to cover the final 2 ticks, which happen at 0 seconds and 2 seconds

slate crown
neat horizon
#

yeah it'll probably be effective

Thanks my guy ❤️

Oh that’s huge difference

eternal heath
#

Yep lol

hollow crater
#

quick question guys, just starting out playing assa, with amplifying poison, what poisons do I even use? im very confused

neat horizon
#

or amp + deadly + mind numbing

#

but amp and deadly are always your main 2

#

and if you dont have dragon tempered blades talent, you pick deadly as your main one

#

because it activates caustic spatter

hollow crater
#

I think im running that talent yeah

fallen raven
#

i accidentally forgot to switch off my st talents for a brh but honestly with 4pc and spatter (and tyran week) it went alright

After 1 wipe to smold

190k overall, bosses i was about 140k

#

but i kinda ruined my cd timings

eternal heath
neat horizon
#

that was my last BRH

#

#

but it was with AP build

#

so yeah i think boss damage is a bit lower

#

that was with 2p/2p

?

neat horizon

hopefully not to the ground but yeah it defs needs a nerf

better take hunters and dh's with them

Time to try again for Smolderon

junior aurora

#

Isnt it pi and aug that makes assa so strong right now? Assa ate shit for a lot of time in m+…. So why now where it is good fck it up… pls no… and if so… Then nerf bm, dh too…

junior aurora
#

except council where its number 2

neat horizon
#

the good thing about all of this is that we got 2 other specs to work with if assa ate the dust

fierce sigil
#

Pi and aug y

junior aurora
#

every class gets aug

#

and not every rogue is getting PI lol

neat horizon
#

however sub's the weakest of the 3 in m+ right now so i hope it doesnt become the best one after the nerfs

sick abyss
#

If I upgrade my belt with the new spark without a socket it's a 900dps loss.

#

Did others have the same issue ?

junior aurora
#

is your belt toxic patch

sick abyss
#

Yes

junior aurora
#

err

#

are you going from 447 to 486

#

or 447 to 463

sick abyss
#

463

junior aurora
#

yeah socket is worth a lot of ilvl

sick abyss
#

Thinking about possibly hitting up dagger instead

junior aurora
#

can grind dagger

neat horizon
#

arent the big tuning passes done after the RWF ?

#

and nothing before?

torn peak
#

does envenom explosions from 4pc bonus overlap with the poison bomb explosions PepoG

balmy condor
#

that's why we haven't seen tuning yet

torn peak
#

i mean do you spec into poison bomb when you get 4pc

balmy condor

yeah why wouldn't you

torn peak

im 3pc and not using at all

balmy condor

you either apply poisons

you either crit your kb

you either proc your wafting

or you don't

agile bronze
balmy condor
#

turn off your details then idk

neat horizon
#

sin rogue is playing wafting devotion?

#

not sophic ?

balmy condor
#

if a 10% swing in damage is from rng is causing you grief

#

then maybe its time to turn off your numbers

flint tusk

wowhead guide trolled me cause it didnt foresee my rng to get bis weapons so early, told me to craft dagger with my first spark monkaAss

neat horizon
#

Fuckkkkkkkkkk

oak tangle
#

the guide does not say that

balmy condor
#

mplussers

jade abyss
#

Is that wafting enchant only for raiding?

oak tangle
#

you sure you're reading the rogue guide

neat horizon
fallen knoll
#

It's literally like don't craft dagger unless you're giga unlucky with drops

ashen sun
#

is nightstalker the only thing that snapshots bleeds/poisons?

oak tangle
#

Once you obtain Spark of Dreams, you should aim to craft the following items at the highest item level possible. Note that you may use the recrafting system to increase its item level later if you so desire. After crafting your best pieces, you can use sparks to improve slots that you have the lowest item level pieces, aiming to increase your average item level.
Toxic Thorn Footwraps
The off-piece you use for Toxified Armor Patch . This would typically be Life-Bound Bindings or Life-Bound Belt
Blue Silken Lining for trying to get damage in niche situations, or craft into your lowest item level slot with an Alchemical Flavor Pocket
Any low item level pieces, prioritizing Primal Molten Shortblade for your main-hand if you don't have a high item level dagger already

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

the dagger is literally the 4th craft

#

that's week 8 of season kinda level timing

jade abyss
#

Ok then its okay that i buy dont know 20 sophics before season starts x)

Yo good morning (atleast its morning here). Seen 2 different type of sims. 1 is using rupture at 3cp at start and then using it in shadowdance and the other using a full cp rupture at start then no rupture in shadowdance. What would be more efficient or when do I start doing rupture in shadowdance? Since this rupture in dance thing is on bis gear sim

/cast cloak of shadows

How do you play with sudden demise? teach me lol

Mine doesnt do as much as whispyrs was doing. Should I refresh bleeds at low % or envenom?

There's so much shit you can cloak in dungeons such a busted spell sometimes

I wouldn't recommend it

but if you're such a tyrannical boss damage fiend

it's not unplayable

i mean esp if you have 4p

Only 4% damage? How much did you press it?

it's kinda funny to me how much more accepting of CT we are now that it's not spammed on aoe

can legit just take a raid build and slot carnage and caustic in

and it does fine

Hey folks ! Been starting the mythic raiding yesterday, and even though i felt i didn't do major mistakes (opener etc), my dps seems to be on the lower side according to parse. Anything outstanding to you guys that could explain the green parses ? (ignore Council, i tried SS the bear to gap close after charge ... didn't made out alive :D) ( LOGS : https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/PcH6DYBk4JwzQmAX#fight=15&type=damage-done - Avocadotös - 463 weapons and no PI xD)

Sudden demise is rly not that great on bursting, everything is exploding 😅

eternal heath
balmy condor
#

actual thing

#

it's pretty min-maxy

#

but you just kinda skip the rupture at the start

foggy swallow
#

if im correct this means sending everything with 3 cp or less

balmy condor
#

and it saves you a couple seconds

eternal heath
#

Oh gotcha

oak tangle
#

my kb looks funny

#

why is it symetrical

foggy swallow
#

or no haha :p

blazing jewel
junior aurora
#

initial hit is big, it ramps up during shadow dance

eternal heath
#

Although curious, I think I recall seeing you send rupture at 3cp in your ST vid during the opener. Was that just to get it applied with a single gcd and then refreshing during KB/SD?

junior aurora
#

and ur 2nd last tick didnt crit ig

eternal heath
#

Will have to keep that in mind

balmy condor
#

like it's either gar ambush rup mut snd mut mut env

#

or I'm accelerating in which case it's gar snd ambush mut env

#

sorry forgor the snd in the first one

neat horizon
#

how important is it to rupture again during SD windows ?

#

like in the ST opener

flint tusk
#

Smol

balmy condor
eternal heath
#

Yeah like my smold opener was gar > amb > rup > mut > snd > mut > mut > env > KB burst

balmy condor
eternal heath
#

Had to make sure I wasn't trolling

#

For rupture I usually only redo it for pandemic

#

But for garrote, do you recommend sticking with timer or is it worth overriding regardless in an SD window?

neat horizon
#

glad i can skip that

balmy condor

Specifically overriding an already imp gar

# steel ridge ok actual seriousness now, do we need a nerf or are bosses just kind to our dmg ...

aight this question is actually just like a billionth time at this point, I'm gonna write one long answer to you and the regulars can reference back to it or something

Big question out of the way, is assa getting nerfed? Probably yeah.

Are they gonna be big? Probably no.

There's still bugs out that are bumping us higher than we should be (no I'm not explaining because they're fixed in legit 4 days and I don't want to cause a panic). Those are for sure getting fixed after race/on tuesday. The healthy thing at that point is to re-evaluate Assassinations position. (See Picture 1) looking at the average heroic player, spec is about 8% over-budget on overall, but it's much closer depending on the boss you're looking at. Tindral/Fyrakk/Smolderon/Igira are a lot closer than say Nymue. (See Picture 2), on average mythic for all bosses, it's also looking around 5-8% over-budget. But once again if you go boss by boss, volcoross sticks out like a sore thumb where assa can take advantage of the kill time by a huge amount, and it's much closer on the other bosses.

Yes the spec is getting PI simped out of its mind, and yes it can take advantage of kill times and good vulernability phases on bosses and such. It definitely can. But I don't think it's as crazy as people make it out to be, and on some of these bosses it's actually competitive to specs no-ones really talking about. The big 3 people complain about are BM/Havoc/Assa, but if you scroll through logs and dig through not the top 10 people in the world and shit. Take a look whats happening for a majority of the playerbase in heroic/mythic in the 50-60 parse range. What they actually tune for, don't try to cope that they tune for the liquid/echo/hall of fame raiders we all know they don't. You'll see things like Marksman hunter on igira, survival and enhance shaman, fury warrior, sub rogue, demo lock. It's easy to just go look top 10 and go "IT ALL ROGUE IT ALL HAVOC LOOK LEADERBOARD BIG ROGUE WE GET NERF", but it's a lot less clear in actual bulk of logs. Hell, if you go to high normal logs you start to see like arcane mage and devoker and shit.

All that to say, if I'm held at gun-point and someone goes "what are assa nerfs on tuesday", my answer is "some bug fixes, maybe a 3% nerf overall as a symbolic gesture, maybe a small nerf to an ability or two". The spec will be fine and it'll survive mostly unscathed. That's my personal prediction. That being said, I'm not blizzard, and I'm sure I'll wake up to 160 discord pings on tuesday regardless of how soul-crushing or inconsequential any changes that happen will be.

And now I'm never answering this question again I don't wanna anymore it's 1am I have sims to run and I'm closing discord goodbye
