this is a short 1 target

exotic pulsar
#

fffff

#

i need totem 😦

daring spoke
#

windfury is huge for all rogue specs

balmy condor
#

yeh

neat horizon
#

HAHAHAH bro these are gold

#

Maintenants mode big

daring spoke
#

poorly drawn rogue guides best guides

frozen iris
#

Im having a hard time understanding that lol.

strange python
#

what happens when we're out of IC and the pack is not dead

#

do we just tab

balmy condor
#

death

strange python
#

or do we just pretend its st

balmy condor
#

I mean yeh depends how long they're alive for

#

if they're gonna live another 20 seconds

#

go for it, slap some bleeds out

#

if it's more like 10 then whats the point

slate crown
#

Yeah at that point

#

I just tab and dot to pretend that I'm doing something useful

balmy condor
#

rule 1 is have enough energy for the whole pack always and forever and if you don't have energy then the dps gods smite you from the heavens until your corpse lay charred and bare

#

so

slate crown
#

and just focus on kicks or whatever

balmy condor
#

whatever you need to do

#

to obey the gods

junior aurora
#

start sniping rupture casts to get full energy returns

balmy condor
#

and then from there just make your determination if it's worth

slate crown
#

yeah

grand trail
#

I don't blame like every rogue on race play embersould instead branch as branch is fucking not friendly since you kinda in movement every time

balmy condor
#

that's not why they do that

#

but yeah

#

true

#

real

junior aurora
#

(they do it because they don't have branch)

grand trail
#

Even if they play branch they just collect all 3 asap as they can't CBA doing some orb mini game during mythic end boss mechanic's

slate crown
#

You know, you can hold your branch trinket for a few seconds after deathmark if you want

exotic pulsar
slate crown
#

and not mini game it

balmy condor
slate crown
#

and be like within 1%

daring spoke
#

clearly the optimal trinkets are embersoul and crab because your raidlead will give pips to someone else, and branch might get you killed

junior aurora
#

true

exotic pulsar
#

i refresh all my bleeds right beofre SD window

#

/s

junior aurora
#

but actually its branch and crab because thats what im using

strange python
#

whats up

exotic pulsar
#

whispyr legit about to rage

oak tangle
#

if you a lazy ass, you can put branch on kb macro and stand still

steel ridge
strange python
#

just to get a max length empowered garrote?

junior aurora
mighty nexus
strange python
#

yea

balmy condor
#

the optimal trinkets are actually midas and sandglass because it drops for everyone constantly and you don't have crab cause throne sucks and you have 15 sandglasses from farming the nick

mighty nexus
#

mine was doing the same, confused tf out of me

balmy condor
strange python
#

literally just now

balmy condor
#

linkie pls

grand trail
balmy condor
#

cause this should've fixed that

steel ridge
balmy condor
#

aight

#

we found it

#

GG

strange python
#

whats up

grand trail
strange python
#

is this the wrong one

grand trail
#

As there is no time do it later

flat sentinel
clever perch
balmy condor
#

well weekly hasn't updated in 3 days

#

cause it's weekly

strange python
#

oh ok

flat sentinel
#

ohhh

strange python
#

so daily then

balmy condor
#

always latest

#

no reason not to

strange python
#

ok

steel ridge
balmy condor
#

if latest breaks then the alarm bells are GIGA ringing and you'd know

grand trail
#

So technically branch is SIM bait

junior aurora
#

no

strange python
#

it is not

balmy condor
#

nightly is like latest for people that love to be scared about latest

slate crown
#

It really isn't

strange python
#

its pretty good

balmy condor
#

and weekly is for chumps who don't sim

steel ridge
#

Its good

balmy condor
junior aurora
#

best, even

#

!whispyr

steel ridge
#

but so is embersoul

slate crown
#

Yes, embersoul is also a good trinket

balmy condor
strange python
#

anybody know wheres a good st dummy?

junior aurora
#

volcoross

strange python
#

too many things fuck with valdrakken

steel ridge
#

and i will never prison myself again for 0.5% gain

mighty nexus
grand trail
#

I'm not decidecing anything just saying that nobody play it in race and even if so they don't CBA about delay of orbs

strange python
mighty nexus
#

i haven't noticed them doing it

grand trail
#

And I'm on nymue rn and I already have to deal with orbs during flowers soak

balmy condor
#

but that's a tall order when some unnamed rogues in the race aren't snapshotting their kingsbane with dance because of feelcraft

#

so

#

it is what it is

steel ridge
balmy condor
#

branch is perfectly fine

slate crown
#

you can just fire and forget

#

if you want

balmy condor
#

people will play poorly and that's their right as a human being

grand trail
#

You don't

balmy condor
#

but that doesn't make sims bad

#

that makes humans bad

junior aurora
mighty nexus
#

I don't get the issues w branch, you just strafe left, right, and stand there and parse

steel ridge
#

you could, and then you have to sprint away and step around, while delaying the orbs till they despawn (do they?)

grand trail
#

I can't wait to get to smolderon and chase fire orbs and branch orbs at the same time

balmy condor
#

we specifically make sure that the simulation does not play at an inhuman level. There's limits to the logic that we simply do not implement because it's not reasonable for someone to execute on

grand trail
#

Which will be next week

balmy condor
#

branch is not one of those

slate crown
#

if you are "chasing" orbs you fundamentally don't udnerstand the trinket

grand trail
#

Spoiler alert there is lot

oak tangle
#

i mean if you keep running

#

sure

steel ridge
#

I played around with various collect timers and came to the conclusion that embersoul is my trinket of choice ♿

grand trail
#

Sorry I'm melee I have to run with mechanics / boss

oak tangle
#

but why are you doing donuts around smolderon

daring spoke
#

just be happy, you sin players get to actually sync branch with your deathmark

steel ridge
#

If you sim like 2/4/6 or something, it’s mostly even anyway so, i rather extract my skill out of the vault by looting 489 nicks

oak tangle
#

the point where you would want your branch orbs on smolderon, there is only circles going around him, i don't understand how you can find it difficult to grab your orbs

balmy condor
grand trail
#

Branch is like mile ahead of embersoul in sim

#

But in logs embersoul gamers are among top

thorn bobcat
#

because humans clearly are able to play as well as the simbot

mighty nexus
#

thats bc most of the people in those logs havent farmed branch

grand trail
#

They did that's lie everyone did

daring spoke
#

part of its because embersoul requires less optimization
the other is that not having branch is still a common thing rn

junior aurora
#

its week 2

grand trail
#

I'm telling that everyone what want to have branch

junior aurora
#

its not unheard of for people to not have branch lol

oak tangle
#

205% of statistics are made up on the spot

grand trail
#

Have it

mighty nexus
#

cap

balmy condor
daring spoke
#

im in a trinket hellscap, i have fukin spiked counterweight and bandolier

balmy condor
#

weird

#

no clue how that could happen

grand trail
#

But people CBA playing on progress since every end boss have mechanics it prevent you from playing it optimally

strange python
#

whats the mastery marginal cutoff

strange python
#

40%?

balmy condor
#

you mean for dr?

thorn bobcat
strange python
#

yea

balmy condor
#

uhhhhhhhhh

#

no clue

daring spoke
strange python
#

yo im 24 runs into fall and have not seen a nick of time drop

balmy condor
#

I think one of the DR breakpoints is 34%

strange python
#

wtf is going on

balmy condor
#

and then maybe 45?

#

but it works off mastery points

#

which aren't actually mastery

#

cause mastery is weird

oak tangle
#

a tale of two extremes

balmy condor
#

so you'd have to do a ton of math

mighty elm
#

did something get pushed to nightly apl last night?

balmy condor
#

yes

daring spoke
balmy condor
#

but it was edge cases

slate crown
strange python
#

i mean rn my sim is super weird in terms of stats

slate crown
#

why is it so saturated

balmy condor
#

surely

oak tangle
balmy condor
#

YES

#

how many people out here, are farming for nicks, in outlaw loot spec

i have a 473 dagger in 1 hand and a 437 in other starege

whats a good point to aim for as sin for haste in raid?

bleak kiln

i have 447 and 437 daggers and double on-use trinkets... so i have no better things to do than farm Falls anyways 2ez

#

I couldn't stand to be in a guild that uses loot council

steel ridge
#

Who is there to give embersoul to in your raid? I doubt there is anything close in gain to assassination

oak tangle
#

there'd surely be so much closed door toxicity on who got what drops

daring spoke
#

depends on the loot council and how your guilds run
ideally it would be cased on how much it improves your dps + your performance

buoyant herald
#

We loot council early tier but drop it after two weeks

random plume
daring spoke
#

loot council is really only necessary for BiS/tier when its used

oak tangle
#

i don't think it does depend on the guild, in any interaction there'll always be someone who disliked the outcome

mighty lake
#

Hw many points rupture is it when ur rupture spreading on mobs with fan? 4+?

random plume
#

it doesn't really matter if someone dislikes the outcome as long as they understand why

#

that's a them problem

daring spoke
runic hinge
#

Some guilds will spread sheet their loot council and give loot based on biggest % upgrades.

steel ridge
grand trail
#

They won't give me signet too, since 5min Sims signet is even with sandglaas and other classes have huge gain

I mean I did close to 100keys with branch and I don't feel like it's fun to play that mini game

steel ridge

in raid and keys

grand trail
#

There is many situations where I can't even see the orbs so I'm just running in circles till I see two stacks

oak tangle
#

unironically who tf is playing minigames

#

they chase you

random plume
#

you want to extend it

#

as much as possible

oak tangle
#

take 3 steps to the left or right

random plume

not take all insta

oak tangle
#

done

runic hinge

#

just bring back draught of souls
no seriously, give me my 3sec channel trinket that does like 2mil damage

grand trail
#

If you let orb chase they won't cover yoour kb

steel ridge
#

my guild is pretty stable with a solid core, a god RL, good reliable officers and loot council. Been there for 2 years now and we improved from world 1000 to roughly 500

balmy condor
#

@mighty elm aight I found it, aside from the change in necks, the sim where bone spike was better had caustic talented, where as the newer sim had internal bleeding, so you were comparing internal bleeding + bone spike to caustic+not bone spike

steel ridge
#

people come and go

mighty lake
#

What mythic boss are top 200 guilds on rn approx? Also, is top 200 alliance also giving u famed title?

steel ridge
#

But you need a solid core for a guild to function

Guys I tried outlaw, I can confidently say with authority that sin is the better more meta spec

imoo

# steel ridge Effective loot distribution is essential for progress… imo

i mean yes and no, as i'm playing very casual and going for AOTC only, i find it much better to have randomness choose who gets loot rather than spurn guildies by prioritising certain people. I already kind of impact it myself, where i'll abstain from rolling on something i could use if the person who is winning the roll could also use it more. but i wouldnt expect that of anyone else

steel ridge
#

Before i was in a hc guild that barely cracked world 6000 with horrible management, poor gameplay and no loot council. They aint improving even tho they have a solid core for 15 years

steel ridge
daring spoke
oak tangle
#

for instance I had to drop a player from our roster because they weren't putting in enough effort, and that felt really shitty

#

but it isn't fair for the rest of the team

steel ridge
#

It wasnt easy but it was worth it

steel ridge
#

We have a 8x18 m+ requirement for vault. Only 1 of 27 players failed that and left the guild by himself in shame 😅

#

Even tho it would only result in a friendly warning

oak tangle
#

our requirement was only 447 ilvl for first raid, had a few rock up still 437

runic hinge
#

Both our tanks showed up 437

#

Those two should have the easiest time getting gear

steel ridge
#

well thats not an issue for us, since everyone has to lock in the character weeks before

oak tangle
#

our requirement this sunday is 455, and looking like most are meeting it, so happy days

daring spoke
steel ridge
#

Talking is key

oak tangle
#

yeah, i mean the person we dropped, did this last tier as well, so he kinda had forewarning

steel ridge
#

but ilvl requirements are dumb, cause lootcouncil will skew that alot

#

Healers and augs will get less gear than top dps

random plume
#

unless you do keys

steel ridge
#

You can do 20 keys and still lack loot

sick sail
#

hello! returning player, hows assassination? where can i get the latest news/updated guide yall recommend? thanks! ❤️

is it a terrible idea to force 2pc?

balmy condor
daring spoke

for gear questions
sim it

#

this discord requires a 'sim it' sticker

steel ridge
#

you might end up with duplicates

rose adder
#

le sigh

steel ridge
#

that only matters the first 2-3 weeks tho

daring spoke
#

only force 4p

rose adder
#

im only a heroic raider and i never roll over a 20 so i have zero gear from raid LOL

daring spoke
#

never know when rngesus will bless you

i guess ill wait, i just wanted to see my ilvl go up lol

Excuse me guys, hello, i don't find it on wowhead and icy veins, there's a hast cap ? Cause i think i ve no energy after 1min30 combat, and no tea left

How does pandemic work exactly on rogues? I'm garroting on a mob with like 3-4 seconds left and I get an even lower garrote dot than my initial? And I just ruptured twice in a row and it went from 28 sec to a 37 sec dot?

lol you freaky bruh

and what's the stats' pull ? I think mine is f*ckd, i have : crit 31% / hast 20% / mast 36% / versa 20%

glacial beacon
#

okay !

steel ridge
#

dont do that

glacial beacon
#

not okay !

#

So what im supposed to do ?

steel ridge
#

as many as possible from whatever you can get your hands on

glacial beacon
#

okay

steel ridge
#

once you are on a high ilvl you can optimise rings or gems or whatever

quiet oar
#

Top gear and use Things bots Tells you to use

steel ridge
#

but there arent many slots you can actually choose your stats on anyway

glacial beacon
#

So there's no pull at all ?

steel ridge
#

no

#

assassination gobbles up every stat

daring spoke
#

oh yeah
sin just wants numbers

glacial beacon
#

okay, nice to know that now

steel ridge
#

mastery is mostly best, but that doesnt mean the other stats are bad

daring spoke
#

sorry, i was in sub brain there, where weights matter significantly more because we want a pretty exact amount of haste

manic rock
#

Did it change with s3? the exact haste for sub last season was 0 or as close to as possible

glacial beacon
#

And last question, with the dagger, we take mecha dreams ?

steel ridge
#

that whole statbreakpoint bullshit got stuck in peoples brains its crazy

#

doing some insane maniac math about statweights while completely disregarding the bigger picture

#

while doing basic rotational stuff wrong

sullen gyro
#

Stat breakpoints exist for a few specs and even on those specs they mostly don't matter

manic rock
#

Yeah, for hunter it was p much just delete pawn and sim yourself

steel ridge
#

pawn is an addon for casuals to feel good about equpping item xyz

sullen gyro
#

There's a very small amount of breakpoints that actually matter for any spec in the game

manic rock
sullen gyro
#

You should delete pawn for every class

#

It's an outdated relic from when simming gearsets required you to use simulationcraft yourself and murder your pc

grand trail
#

Anyone able to SIM incorrect orb play? Like 1/1/1 at start of DM?

sullen gyro
#

Even healers sim now

steel ridge
#

add that in custom apl

#

and change numbers

#

Thanks

#

Are dwarf sin rogues OK

#

or meh?

balmy condor
#

Can just open that sim

#

Has every combination

grand trail
#

Cool will check

steel ridge
#

you cant really play branch that bad that the trinket itself gets bad

grand trail
#

I would like just to see how much bad play can branch take before being worse than embersoul

steel ridge
#

alot

#

if you just standstill its still simming higher

balmy condor
#

Considering how good it is, you’d have to basically force yourself to miss an orb

sullen gyro
#

What about 1/1/12 so you never hit 3 stacks?

balmy condor
#

If you get all 3 orbs it’s basically impossible for ashes to win

grand trail
#

That happened to me once from checking m logs

steel ridge
oak tangle
balmy condor
#

I haven’t missed my orbs in 6 days of raiding

sullen gyro
#

I've missed an orb as bm before if I'm using cds before a lot of running

balmy condor
sullen gyro
#

Harder to do in melee

balmy condor
#

You can do 1/1/4 and it’s perfectly fine

#

Equal to 1/1/7

#

If you’re hitting your target for kb

#

You’re able to get orbs

sullen gyro
#

And if you use cds as a melee before a big movement phase that's just questionable planning

slate crown
#

Only time I’ve missed an orb is if I was a dummy and used it as the boss did a mechanic and moved to the other side of the room

grand trail
oak tangle
#

i just don't get the whole it's hard to do mechanics and pick up orbs, because WORST CASE you are trying to walk into them for whatever god knows reason... YOU HAVE CLOAK

supple snow
#

If you so orba perfectly, how much better than ashes is it?

balmy condor
#

Impossible to miss

balmy condor
#

Around there

slate crown
#

Also my run was not every option, just all options where you grab the first 2 orbs within 6 sec, so all combinations from 1/1/x to 3/3/x. But yeah, can take a look to see, I was just curious

supple snow
#

That is a good chunk

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

How many farming fall have done the stack tactic?

steel ridge

what tactic, its just every man for himself is it not?

steel ridge

lmao

#

i guess, you can do that if the rings hurt too much on higher levels yeah, highest i have done so far is 20 tyrannical and it was a joke if you dispell in bright area

#

do u chain envenom on aoe or is it better to just maintain rupture one by one?

oak tangle
#

por que no los dos

steel ridge
#

depends on your energy economy and the state of the pull

hidden inlet
#

so if the pull will go on for a while its better to rupture, but u chain envenom when things are dying soon right

what stats would you guys use on crafted gear for m+?

#

is crit mast a safe bet for all of them or should i get vers

mighty lake
#

I just do not know uses of thistle tea aside from last 6 seconds of kingsbane. I still do not know why we gotta use it last 6 seconds bc my kingsbane does not "blow up" at the last sec. Mb cuz M+ talents?

slow needle
#

Though it will ramp less due to no DTB increasing the number of poisons that can apply.

#

So you want the mastery buff for the largest ticks.

#

Same with Vanish and Master Assassin. If you can increase the chance of any of the ticks critting you want the largest ticks to have that increased chance.

oak tangle
#

13.6% mastery is pretty good

#

it's approximately 13.6% more damage on poisons and bleeds

#

with branch orbs, i have over 110% mastery

mighty lake
oak tangle
#

there's no reason not to

mighty lake
#

What does sims say to do? nobody talks about thistle tea usage aside from using 1x at the last 6 seconds

oak tangle
#

you want the first charge on cd anyway

still creek
slow needle
#

I'm gonna make the assumption that Whispyr did sim full coverage of KB with Tea and it came out that having the energy in other parts of the fight was better.

oak tangle
#

you tea in opener, so that you start it's cd

slow needle
#

In M+ where you have infinite energy in AoE anyway.

#

Sure.

hushed barn
#

you only have 2 teas during a fight that you can use outside of KB anyways

mighty lake
#

In M+, how would u use tea's differently btw?

mighty lake
hushed barn
#

probably anytime you wont overcap and the mastery will hit some good damage

mighty lake
#

Interesting to see that using 2x thistles during BL window is less worth than random thistle later in fight without buffs

hushed barn
#

probably cause the energy overcap

#

during my second deathmark, i like to not pool and use one of the teas to get energy up right before the combo and get the buff in there

#

not sure how optimal it is, but its more energy being used with the buff hitting some good dots

oak tangle
#

13.6% mastery for 6 seconds on a 1 min cd, is 1.36% average, considering not all our damage is bleed or poison. the tea bonus outside of big ramping windows is negligible

#

so it is better used for getting energy to press more buttons

plain moon
#

So if im just going to not worry about kiting orbs with branch do I just use it when I KB or is there a better time to use it

hushed barn
#

so in other words, as long as you are using the 100 energy, try and hit it alongside the biggest dot windows

hushed barn
#

(outside of the charges you use on CD on KB)

oak tangle
#

I would guess (and im guessing here so dont take it as fact) that the sims value the energy gain to keep envenom chains longer than the first 8 seconds of kb window

hushed barn
#

I imagine you could manage to do both right? lead a chain into KB and use tea during first 8 of kb to keep the chain going as you do your KB combo

oak tangle
#

@balmy condor please tell me how much we're overthinking it 🙂

hushed barn
#

its only 12 seconds of 13.6% mastery in a whole fight

#

so the answer is probably a lot xD

balmy condor
#

im not reading

#

tldr it

oak tangle
#

why do we not double tea dm windows

hushed barn
#

optimal time to use your 2 extra tea charges in ST

balmy condor
#

because the start of kingsbane fucking sucks ass

#

who gives a fuck about the first 3 ticks of kb

hushed barn
#

but if you are using the energy you gain anyways, hitting KB alongside your regular dots is gonna be a slight increase than just hitting the regular dots right?

balmy condor
#

yeah but it doesn't line up like that

#

if it lines up that you get to use the energy, and it's during shiv/dm

#

then yeah obviously it's better

#

sims don't like it because that's not a sure thing

hushed barn
#

i guess thats just the timing of pooling and chaining, which changes based on blindside procs

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

on average, best to use for energy whenever

#

if you want to argue that it's slightly better to starve yourself a bit into kb windows and then double tea

#

go for it

#

sims don't agree

#

but if that's more playable for you

#

then who cares

#

it's so unimportant

static glacier
#

Ngl I think the risk of losing even a single gcd during kb

#

Isn’t worth starving yourself into it

#

I always pool a good chunk of energy going into KB if possible

cunning basin
#

Yeah I kinda agree. Being low going into KB sounds like cringe gameplay for very little possible reward

static glacier
#

Starved KB windows aren’t it

cunning basin
#

If any at all

static glacier
#

The real question would be assuming we’re v low energy, would we send energy asap to increase the most total kb stacks

#

Or just hold and buff the final 6s

#

As usual

cunning basin
#

I mean ideally you don't go in at sub 100 energy

static glacier
#

Yeah ofc, but let’s go with the assumption we start kb on like sub 70 energy

cunning basin
#

Cuz with 100 energy with Regen and VW you should have enough for envenom x 2 at least which covers MOST of KB

#

You still want envenom going INTO KB rather than at the end

static glacier
#

Ngl I sometimes env the gcd after kb in keys

cunning basin
#

At the end you're already at the end. Poison proc's here are worthless. Poison proc's at the beginning buff the entire rest of the ability

static glacier
#

But yeah ideally speaking you’d have env up as normal

cunning basin
hushed barn
#

half the time in keys i just freak out lol

static glacier
cunning basin
#

Bc everything in keys is scuffed as fuck and you're just kinda piling as much energy and damage into mobs as possible with whatever resources you have

hushed barn
#

nothing quite like a scuffed kb in a key

static glacier
#

Things like spreading garrottes in dance take precedent, I often kb late in dance in keys while in raid it’s always the first or second global

cunning basin
#

Bro KB gets turbo scuffed in keys, I'll send it, realize I'm targeting the wrong mob and immediately swap

hushed barn
#

also farming these 17's for the daggers, stuff dies too fast to worry about a good KB combo

static glacier
cunning basin
static glacier
#

Which at times is like 3-4 globals feelscryman

cunning basin
#

I'll eat the loss

static glacier
#

Wait

#

You terrorising the key by Kbing a petal instead of abom or something?

#

I wish we had a world where KB had 2 charges

cunning basin
#

Ain't no way you've never smacked KB realizing you weren't targeting what you thought you were

#

Or maybe my tank just pulls too fast

hushed barn
#

KB a hunter that jumps away, cry

cunning basin
#

I don't really have time to think about shit most of the time, busy crankin

static glacier
#

Eg berserkers above naturalists

hushed barn
#

or the fucking black rook archers

static glacier
#

But not by accident, mob hp is what helps me decide

hushed barn
#

kbing them on accident then them jumping away is so sad

oak tangle
#

whispyr's plater highlights tanky mobs, so that helps, but i still click it on wrong target

cunning basin
#

I can't use plater

#

Shit freaks me out

static glacier

gotta use the arterial shock demise build imo, esp in low keys

hushed barn

the burst damage of the execute really allows you to pump your dps

flat oriole

super new to assassin had to swap so a less experienced guildie could play their main (enhance).

hushed barn

sudden demise

flat oriole
#

I havent even read all the talents bro XD

#

ok

hushed barn
#

insta kills mobs when you stack all your bleeds on them

flat oriole
#

what am I supposed to be gathering from this spreadsheet you sent @yaga ?

hushed barn
#

combine that with arterial shock for 30% increased bleed damage in a aoe on shiv, you can easily get a quick few million burst damage at the end of a fight

flat oriole
static glacier
#

Ele is actually quite good too

oak tangle
#

they're probs using for their own needs not linking for you

flat oriole
#

yeah but we dont have a assassination rogue yet

#

oh ok

cinder geode
#

is vers useful for m+ or can i skip out on it for more crit mast ?

static glacier
#

Vers was my 2nd highest stat for a while

hushed barn
#

vers always has the benefit of helping you not die, if you need that

oak tangle
#

@flat oriole check out these guides

#

!guide

static glacier
#

Since we’re at a point where all our stats are kinda similar in value and hitting dr vers is no longer a stat you want 0 of. Bis profile runs vers on rings

flat oriole
#

I dont put a lot of stock in icy veins these days but I have been kinda slowly going through the wowhead

And sims told me to go fuck myself

balmy condor
hushed barn
cunning basin
balmy condor
#

Nah it’s just

#

It would break the chain

#

And it hate that

#

It would rather sit and starve barely maintaining the chain for a couple seconds until the tea at the end of kb comes in

#

Than let it drop and afk

#

It was very close though

#

Like human gameplay probably fine

cunning basin
#

That's good to know, robots out here wildin

hushed barn
#

does this change significantly with/without 4pc?

cunning basin
#

I'll do some degenerate shit but I gotta draw a line somewhere y'know?

balmy condor
#

Without 4pc you focus sanguine more

#

With you chain over sanguine

at least i got 4pc next week with these speed upgraded hero gloves

flat oriole
#

if i may ask do you feel like assassination is really dependent on gear/ stats in keys early on or is the skill cap really that high? I'm still kindsa stuck using hekili and I kinda hate it. want to be proficient at this spec

hushed barn
#

keys early on are a whole different game imo

#

stuff dies so fast, that some classes just excel way more than others

#

in the gcds it takes to garrote and rupture the mobs, they might just be all dead

flat oriole
#

felt that

hushed barn
#

i mean, at least with my gear, even in 17's stuff dies too fast

flat oriole
#

but even in 11's. Ik those arent crazy but I just kinda do nothing and get carried at 430

#

feels bad

hushed barn
#

definitely play around with the shock demise build, focus on getting your garrotes out during your subterguge window then dotting everything with rupture in the carnage window

#

that will carry you on a lot of damage

cunning basin
#

To keep myself sane in doti I have a game I play after 2nd boss

#

"how big of a sudden demise can I get on the dragon"

flat oriole
#

also with the whole maintaining rupture on mobs; is it worth worrying about them if they are kinda low and I'm like low energy or no combo points buiilt? how does that all work?

hushed barn
#

you shouldnt be low energy

cunning basin
#

So far my biggest is 1.9m no Aug beat my score

hushed barn
#

if you get out ~9 ruptures at the start of a pull

#

you will have infinite energy

flat oriole
#

so dont spam

balmy condor
#

You have a burst and a sustain

flat oriole
balmy condor
#

If you know the burst and you know the sustain

#

It kinda plays itself

#

Very conceptual spec though

hushed barn
balmy condor
#

Also I’m very tipsy

#

Jesus

flat oriole
#

that scales off crit right?

flat oriole
craggy oak
balmy condor
#

Autocorrect is real good

hushed barn
#

you open out of stealth with lots of rupture, and you have enough energy to spam cast for the rest of the fight

flat oriole
#

been spamming sc2 with the homie taking shots XD

#

kinda a lightweight so feeling it on like 4

balmy condor
#

I’m far weaker than that

should I be doing that fro more upfront dps?

Do they think it's not doing enough damage or what? Bc the damage on it is relatively low, but it also gives you haste so it's not just there for damage

The Icy Veins guide says: Activate Vanish on cooldown. Do not use it in your opener immediately. Hold it to sync this ability with the last 3 seconds of your Kingsbane for the Master Assassin buff, and to refresh Garrote.

I have no idea what that means. Use Vanish during the last bit of Kingsbane? I don't see the reasoning here. Can someone advise me please?
