windfury is huge for all rogue specs
yeh
poorly drawn rogue guides best guides
Im having a hard time understanding that lol.
death
or do we just pretend its st
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
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
and just focus on kicks or whatever
start sniping rupture casts to get full energy returns
and then from there just make your determination if it's worth
yeah
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
(they do it because they don't have branch)
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
You know, you can hold your branch trinket for a few seconds after deathmark if you want
SD duh
and not mini game it
yeah except don't do that
and be like within 1%
clearly the optimal trinkets are embersoul and crab because your raidlead will give pips to someone else, and branch might get you killed
true
but actually its branch and crab because thats what im using
whispyr legit about to rage
if you a lazy ass, you can put branch on kb macro and stand still
Sure…
just to get a max length empowered garrote?
you say that but its literally true lol
dummy sim ?
yea
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
mine was doing the same, confused tf out of me
when did you sim this
literally just now
linkie pls
That's the fun part, on many fight you can't just stand still
cause this should've fixed that
Kush definitely has a branch
accurate and correct
whats up
And he collect all orbs asap
is this the wrong one
As there is no time do it later
damn thats a low sim with 4p lol im like 194k with 2-2
Hey i got my crab trinket
no buff
oh ok
ohhh
so daily then
ok
Ye probably. I am sticking to my hc embersoul and not gonna bother with cringe branch
if latest breaks then the alarm bells are GIGA ringing and you'd know
So technically branch is SIM bait
no
it is not
nightly is like latest for people that love to be scared about latest
It really isn't
its pretty good
and weekly is for chumps who don't sim
Its good

but so is embersoul
Yes, embersoul is also a good trinket
I mean if you decide to play badly, then everything is simbait
anybody know wheres a good st dummy?
volcoross
too many things fuck with valdrakken
and i will never prison myself again for 0.5% gain
the ones in SL covenants are pretty empty
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
do they randomly drop to low hp tho
i haven't noticed them doing it
And I'm on nymue rn and I already have to deal with orbs during flowers soak
if they had a high level branch they would play it, and if they cared for their damage they would delay the orbs
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
haha and in those moments you wish you could just fire and forget
branch is perfectly fine
Here's the thing about branch
you can just fire and forget
if you want
people will play poorly and that's their right as a human being
You don't
yeah you dont pay their sub
I don't get the issues w branch, you just strafe left, right, and stand there and parse
you could, and then you have to sprint away and step around, while delaying the orbs till they despawn (do they?)
I can't wait to get to smolderon and chase fire orbs and branch orbs at the same time
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
Which will be next week
20s despawn timer
branch is not one of those
but the branch orbs chase you
if you are "chasing" orbs you fundamentally don't udnerstand the trinket
They will not catch you in time if there is movement
Spoiler alert there is lot
I played around with various collect timers and came to the conclusion that embersoul is my trinket of choice ♿
Sorry I'm melee I have to run with mechanics / boss
but why are you doing donuts around smolderon
And that's perfectly fine.
just be happy, you sin players get to actually sync branch with your deathmark
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

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
Branch is like mile ahead of embersoul in sim
But in logs embersoul gamers are among top
because humans clearly are able to play as well as the simbot
thats bc most of the people in those logs havent farmed branch
They did that's lie everyone did
part of its because embersoul requires less optimization
the other is that not having branch is still a common thing rn
its week 2
I'm telling that everyone what want to have branch
its not unheard of for people to not have branch lol
205% of statistics are made up on the spot
Have it
cap
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/1S6ZhmS3g5wJ3vDQTGX8Lq nelth trinket ftw
yeah turns out week 2 logs with funneled split gear and a trinket that's around 1% to 1.5% worse doesn't actually overwhelm the top spots in all the logs when a spec has a 15% swing from rng
im in a trinket hellscap, i have fukin spiked counterweight and bandolier
But people CBA playing on progress since every end boss have mechanics it prevent you from playing it optimally
whats the mastery marginal cutoff
Pain
40%?
you mean for dr?
i’m js people are probably still doing rotational mistakes and losing uptime due to rng which surely amounts to more than the difference in the trinkets
yea
at least bandolier is useable on sub, counterweight is just so badge
yo im 24 runs into fall and have not seen a nick of time drop
I think one of the DR breakpoints is 34%
wtf is going on
and then maybe 45?
but it works off mastery points
which aren't actually mastery
cause mastery is weird
a tale of two extremes
so you'd have to do a ton of math
did something get pushed to nightly apl last night?
yes
im crying
but it was edge cases
Is this a phone camera picture?
wow
i mean rn my sim is super weird in terms of stats
why is it so saturated
i have HDR and cbf turning it off for you guys, tell snipping tool to fix it
i have 3 drops of the first dagger u have
gross

but no nick
God emperor
branch will devalue mastery quite a bit
just how it be
also, that igira dagger is cracked as shit for progression, use its on use ability on a training dummy
is there a follow up to this, something weird you saw?
really? not the leech one?
Nick of Time doesn't exists right? 🙂
the training dummy buff from on use heals for 10% when you fall below 20%, its basically a second mini cheat death
yes
!dagger
had sbs sim roughly 5k more 2 days ago, without any changes now it sims 1.5k less than the previous build.
so like a 6k-6.5k diff
do you have links to those

yeh sec
blazefury get nerfed? ;_;
tf is blazefury
I've timed 16 straight Falls and haven't seen anyone get the dagger nor the trinket 
Today
the fire proc neck
oh
im on my 24th run brother stay strong
yes i took me like 60 key to get both on hero track
But it has the same drop chance as other items?
dont think so
ok by math, im 6 runs from my first drop,
and another 30 from 2nd
in my like 20 falls
i havent even gotten a drop, much less a dagger
if the items had equal drop, the average would be 1/15

@balmy condor
havent looked into the apl
yeh that's fine, APL is my job
thanks
And your soul is lost to the timeways now
I'd trade my soul for a dagger fr fr
yes for sure
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 
whats a good point to aim for as sin for haste in raid?
i have 447 and 437 daggers and double on-use trinkets... so i have no better things to do than farm Falls anyways 
to infinity and beyond
im bout to ask trade chat for 3 rogues to run falls with me and sell me the dagger fr
so its haste mast for raid but crit mast? for keys?
i found out the other day in a hc pug that i couldn't roll dagger as outlaw, and someone won it with a 42 roll 
you probably want to sim yourself for raid, m+ is more feelcrafty
don't use ilvl
pay em good
How much per run?
1 piece of my soul until its lost in the timeways
inb4 man specs outlaw to extend number of runs
I'm not getting embersoul just because they wanna see my Sims and branch make it look poop sadge
Forgot amp poison
Pray for vault
nah I had it on
thats how i do things
Yeah that’s unfortunate and unfair. If you raid, you shouldnt be punished because a dungeon trinket exists that may or may not drop
I couldn't stand to be in a guild that uses loot council
Who is there to give embersoul to in your raid? I doubt there is anything close in gain to assassination
there'd surely be so much closed door toxicity on who got what drops
depends on the loot council and how your guilds run
ideally it would be cased on how much it improves your dps + your performance
We loot council early tier but drop it after two weeks
depends on the guild
loot council is really only necessary for BiS/tier when its used
i don't think it does depend on the guild, in any interaction there'll always be someone who disliked the outcome
Hw many points rupture is it when ur rupture spreading on mobs with fan? 4+?
it doesn't really matter if someone dislikes the outcome as long as they understand why
that's a them problem
i mean that happens with every loot system,
Some guilds will spread sheet their loot council and give loot based on biggest % upgrades.
Easy to spot the teamplayer and ego player
They won't give me signet too, since 5min Sims signet is even with sandglaas and other classes have huge gain
This shit sucks in low-mid tier guilds where there are slackers who you have to gear up ruining morale
Which is probably right
this is true, but it's evident by how many lower guilds disband or go through rosters changes, that alot of people are ego players
I mean I did close to 100keys with branch and I don't feel like it's fun to play that mini game
Then its not meant to be a guild
it's annoying that you can see everyone else's too
in raid and keys

There is many situations where I can't even see the orbs so I'm just running in circles till I see two stacks
take 3 steps to the left or right
not take all insta
done
If they’re getting the biggest % upgrades maybe they won’t look like slackers. Also it’s just loot. You’ll get it eventually
just bring back draught of souls
no seriously, give me my 3sec channel trinket that does like 2mil damage
If you let orb chase they won't cover yoour kb
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
@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
people come and go
What mythic boss are top 200 guilds on rn approx? Also, is top 200 alliance also giving u famed title?
But you need a solid core for a guild to function
its merged for horde and ally now
i agree, i guess i'm just at too low of a level of progression where any kind of loot councilling will be poorly handled
Guys I tried outlaw, I can confidently say with authority that sin is the better more meta spec
Hate the APM + sounds + feels just bad to play that shit
failed revamp
imoo
Effective loot distribution is essential for progress… imo
ah, severe brainlag
ty 😂
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
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
bring back combat rogue
You see, loot council rewards performance. And that’s what improves players.
well yeah, i wouldnt exactly expect, or want, a loot council in any guild that isnt planning to go for cutting edge
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
I took the leap from that hc guild to a CE guild knowing i need to improve my environment to improve myself
It wasnt easy but it was worth it
Spank one to motivate 20
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
our requirement was only 447 ilvl for first raid, had a few rock up still 437
well thats not an issue for us, since everyone has to lock in the character weeks before
our requirement this sunday is 455, and looking like most are meeting it, so happy days
i'd say thats lazy, but my guilds req was 450 and i rocked up in442, difference was my GM and i talked beforehand and he knew i was behind due to my work schedule, now im ahead of most of the guild in gear
Talking is key
yeah, i mean the person we dropped, did this last tier as well, so he kinda had forewarning
but ilvl requirements are dumb, cause lootcouncil will skew that alot
Healers and augs will get less gear than top dps
unless you do keys
You can do 20 keys and still lack loot
hello! returning player, hows assassination? where can i get the latest news/updated guide yall recommend? thanks! ❤️
it’s about commitment not ilvl
wowhead
ty my friend~
i went from 442 to 464 in one week, its pretty nice
!*
447 to 475 😅
same !
wowheads rogue theorycrafters are top class 😉
10ilvl jump in one day bc I got to equip 4pc
i'd be closer to 470, but i still have a 437 neck because rngesus hates me
excited to see em top again, i remember rotation being diff when dragonflight came out
is it a terrible idea to force 2pc?
based reply
If that means using charges and tokens before you know the other slots, yes its a bad idea
you might end up with duplicates
le sigh
that only matters the first 2-3 weeks tho
only force 4p
im only a heroic raider and i never roll over a 20 so i have zero gear from raid LOL
never know when rngesus will bless you
i guess ill wait, i just wanted to see my ilvl go up lol
Can someone bette with logs than me have me checked if played orbs somehow optimally
Do you always use ambush over mutilate in stealth windows?
Aside from saving 1x thistle tea every cd combo, what else can/do we use thistle tea's on? Thinking M+ n stuff as well.
How do you do more damage with 4 set
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
are you pooling your energy correctly?
or are you dumping on envenom with 4p
i think yes, im not a pro but ive learned my cycle
hvnt 4p yet
the cycle tells you to pool in that case. You're going to run out of nrg naturally
^
its just a sin thing
okay !
Cause i play outlaw too, and i never need nrg xD
sins the only rogue spec that behaves like this
i do not depend of*
could someone show me the plater profile whispyr uses for the dot timings? i can't seem to find it anywhere. it looks really useful
sub and outlaw dont end up in an energy deficit often
though cold blood sub can run out
other than to reapply CS is there a reason you think you wouldn't choose ambush over mut?
they have this border around them when they are soon to drop
Are you supposed to just dump with 4p?
yes sin 4p wants you to chain envenoms
dont focus too much on ilvl
So i dump. Hold til 80%ish then dump?
Once i get 4p?
!dagger
catform chunks
why am i competing with a resto druid
what's the deal with toxic thorn footwraps? is the toxified armor patch item one made without a spark??
are your dps meters ascending?
no but you can use the one from last season 😄
ahh, ok that makes sense. thank you
i was under the impression that ilvl was the most imporant thing due to agi scaling
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?
not at all, weights arent that simple, especially with tier
lol you freaky bruh
it is, but if you arent competing for hall of fame, you shouldnt worry, it will come
pics or your garrote interaction wasnt this
and what's the stats' pull ? I think mine is f*ckd, i have : crit 31% / hast 20% / mast 36% / versa 20%
as many as possible from whatever you can get your hands on
idk what percents you want, BUT raidbots.com, run a 'stat weights' sim, input those weights into pawn, and repeat this cycle every time you get gear upgrades and eventually youll get everything in its best place
thats exactly what you are not supposed to do
okay !
dont do that
as many as possible from whatever you can get your hands on
okay
once you are on a high ilvl you can optimise rings or gems or whatever
Top gear and use Things bots Tells you to use
but there arent many slots you can actually choose your stats on anyway
So there's no pull at all ?
oh yeah
sin just wants numbers
okay, nice to know that now
mastery is mostly best, but that doesnt mean the other stats are bad
sorry, i was in sub brain there, where weights matter significantly more because we want a pretty exact amount of haste
bullshit
Did it change with s3? the exact haste for sub last season was 0 or as close to as possible
And last question, with the dagger, we take mecha dreams ?
well, 0 just means as low as possible, but thats not "an exact amount of haste"
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
Stat breakpoints exist for a few specs and even on those specs they mostly don't matter
Yeah, for hunter it was p much just delete pawn and sim yourself
pawn is an addon for casuals to feel good about equpping item xyz
There's a very small amount of breakpoints that actually matter for any spec in the game
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
Anyone able to SIM incorrect orb play? Like 1/1/1 at start of DM?
Even healers sim now
dragonflight.witherbarks_branch_timing=1/1/1
add that in custom apl
and change numbers
Thanks
Lisonna did that in #1065730164077645916 already
Can just open that sim
Has every combination
Cool will check
you cant really play branch that bad that the trinket itself gets bad
I would like just to see how much bad play can branch take before being worse than embersoul
CS is applied by both spells.
Considering how good it is, you’d have to basically force yourself to miss an orb
What about 1/1/12 so you never hit 3 stacks?
If you get all 3 orbs it’s basically impossible for ashes to win
That happened to me once from checking m logs
then it will lose most likely
fuck it just run away for 20 seconds
I haven’t missed my orbs in 6 days of raiding
I've missed an orb as bm before if I'm using cds before a lot of running
Ain’t it funny how people said it’s impossible to kite orbs but then make hypotheticals where they kite an orb for 15 seconds
Harder to do in melee
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
And if you use cds as a melee before a big movement phase that's just questionable planning
I hate 1st boss of fall
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
Can't find that Sim from clicking the link 😦
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
If you so orba perfectly, how much better than ashes is it?
It’s the last message in the thread
Impossible to miss
2%
Around there
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
That is a good chunk
Because the others were just always worse
Wasn't scrolling down thanks
!pandemic
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
what tactic, its just every man for himself is it not?
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
I hate you. I’m still stuck in jail..
Seems in pugs the idea of hard stack is clearly impossible
yeah its not viable for pugs xD just eat the damage and heal up i guess
Mostly the issue, where healers can't cope with the standard dispell
then again, pugs be the kinda boys who have MD off CD, you do the big chad pull and the 20 stacks of bursting just aren't compelling enough to pop that MD
I just tried outlaw in couple of dungeons what a shitty boring spec is that
they made outlaw because combat was 'bland' and had no identity,
outlaw is more bland than combat ever was
Yeah, did 2, noticed even some weird range bug with BtE and wanted to just immediately leave and change back to Ass
opinions differ i guess
What bug do you think you had?
'Think'
We gonna debate semantics or you gonna explain?
3rd boss in WM, randomly having to go further out to spend BtE
I mean
Typically on Tyran you go straight to sisters no?
Then tree, cause joke. then pig boy
You sure you could use other abilities but not BtE?
Iirc that dude has a strange hitbox in general if you got too close.
just tell us which boss your gun had a malfunction, nobody wants to know your strats 😄
Hw can we reset combat to stealth easier on target dummies? Having to wait a while due to bleeds
run very far away
If so thats worth testing later. Never heard of anyone having that issue so far.
The Flame Neck thing is talking about the Kazzak neck piece? The one in the pins
Yeah, I was in the same unextended melee range as I would in Ass. Just kept instinctively moving in, and feeling enraged. No other boss has the issue, but beyond annoying
I really like the rogue rework for sin and outlaw. Both v fun and v good
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
how do i get rid of that fucking green thing
Delete your character

do u chain envenom on aoe or is it better to just maintain rupture one by one?
por que no los dos
depends on your energy economy and the state of the pull
so if the pull will go on for a while its better to rupture, but u chain envenom when things are dying soon right
!up
love the wowhead guide, thank you
call me lazy but this is how I binded the cds on assa 
If in raid you can be lazier and just bind SD/KB together.
Made it even better
One fewer buttons.
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
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?
Kingsbane damage ramps over time, even in M+ talents.
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.
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
Would you double thistle tea ur opener so it covers most of kingsbane window?
I wouldn't no.
there's no reason not to
What does sims say to do? nobody talks about thistle tea usage aside from using 1x at the last 6 seconds
you want the first charge on cd anyway
Should be even lazier and bind shiv again at s5 and tea s6, vanish s7 kek
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.
you tea in opener, so that you start it's cd
you only have 2 teas during a fight that you can use outside of KB anyways
In M+, how would u use tea's differently btw?
Yeah in ST exactly. How would we use those is my question
probably anytime you wont overcap and the mastery will hit some good damage
Interesting to see that using 2x thistles during BL window is less worth than random thistle later in fight without buffs
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
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
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
so in other words, as long as you are using the 100 energy, try and hit it alongside the biggest dot windows
always last 6 seconds of kb
(outside of the charges you use on CD on KB)
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
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
@balmy condor please tell me how much we're overthinking it 🙂
its only 12 seconds of 13.6% mastery in a whole fight
so the answer is probably a lot xD
why do we not double tea dm windows
optimal time to use your 2 extra tea charges in ST
because the start of kingsbane fucking sucks ass
who gives a fuck about the first 3 ticks of kb
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?
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
i guess thats just the timing of pooling and chaining, which changes based on blindside procs
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
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
Yeah I kinda agree. Being low going into KB sounds like cringe gameplay for very little possible reward
Starved KB windows aren’t it
If any at all
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
I mean ideally you don't go in at sub 100 energy
Yeah ofc, but let’s go with the assumption we start kb on like sub 70 energy
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
Ngl I sometimes env the gcd after kb in keys
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
But yeah ideally speaking you’d have env up as normal
I mean in keys I don't even do the right opener tbh
half the time in keys i just freak out lol
A big part of keys is flexibility
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
nothing quite like a scuffed kb in a key
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
Bro KB gets turbo scuffed in keys, I'll send it, realize I'm targeting the wrong mob and immediately swap
also farming these 17's for the daggers, stuff dies too fast to worry about a good KB combo
My rule is never swap, just stay on it till it pops
Nah, not finna throw my 22 key for the sake of a 1min cd
Which at times is like 3-4 globals 
I'll eat the loss
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
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
KB a hunter that jumps away, cry
I don't really have time to think about shit most of the time, busy crankin
I’ve had it where I’ve KB’d a mob which I then realised it’s not optimal
Eg berserkers above naturalists
or the fucking black rook archers
But not by accident, mob hp is what helps me decide
kbing them on accident then them jumping away is so sad
whispyr's plater highlights tanky mobs, so that helps, but i still click it on wrong target
Fuck those mobs
I can't use plater
Shit freaks me out
On blackrook it’s usually arcane blast mobs, the leader guy
some of these pulls have been so big and plater nameplates jumping all around that i lose mobs easy haha
this used to be me, but now my plater bars have a yellow border when there is no rupture and that is such a pog QoL
how can I get that going? is rupture that big for your trash mob damage?
energy sustain / scent of blood too
you guys using the subcreation talents or got something else you run for mythic? im only 430 with a horrible stat line so Ive been struggling to pump in keys
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
gotta use the arterial shock demise build imo, esp in low keys
i can send you the import string for the borders if you'd like
I would love that memz
what a G
the burst damage of the execute really allows you to pump your dps
super new to assassin had to swap so a less experienced guildie could play their main (enhance).
execute?
sudden demise
insta kills mobs when you stack all your bleeds on them
what am I supposed to be gathering from this spreadsheet you sent @yaga ?
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
^
It’s fine to have two enh shamans
Ele is actually quite good too
they're probs using for their own needs not linking for you
is vers useful for m+ or can i skip out on it for more crit mast ?
Sims but realistically go for ilvl atm
Vers was my 2nd highest stat for a while
vers always has the benefit of helping you not die, if you need that
Assassination Guides:
Wowhead: https://www.wowhead.com/assassination-rogue-guide
IV: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-guide
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
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
I dont put a lot of stock in icy veins these days but I have been kinda slowly going through the wowhead
i figured method wouldnt be great cus they are in the race and might not have a whole lot to share that wowhead doesnt
Fun fact, I actually added kingsbane coming up soon to the pooling condition to make sure it had energy going into cooldowns
And sims told me to go fuck myself
Hi yes I write both of those guides. Method guide is slower to update but has nothing to do with the race it’s just the nature of their editing pipeline
man those sims are whack
That's not very nice of them, L sims tbh
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
That's good to know, robots out here wildin
does this change significantly with/without 4pc?
I'll do some degenerate shit but I gotta draw a line somewhere y'know?
good to know, sorry if I come as hating on youre guides I just feel like I've gotten better info from other sites in the past on other classes. I'm looking at your work on icy veins now.
That’s the one I don’t write
ooooh ok
1/3 chance
ok makes sense, thats been what ive been doing, dipping low energy for chains wihtout 4pc didnt feel right
Yeh no reason to chain without 4pc
at least i got 4pc next week with these speed upgraded hero gloves
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
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
that's def fair. dot damage kinda no value <5+
felt that
i mean, at least with my gear, even in 17's stuff dies too fast
but even in 11's. Ik those arent crazy but I just kinda do nothing and get carried at 430
feels bad
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
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"
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?
you shouldnt be low energy
So far my biggest is 1.9m no Aug beat my score
Not really, it’s like arcane mage
You have a burst and a sustain
I havent played
If you know the burst and you know the sustain
It kinda plays itself
Very conceptual spec though
more you rely on venomous wounds regaining energy
that scales off crit right?
saaaaame
I'm geared to the teeth and only just swapped to sin in keys this week at 23s or higher as stuff just dies far too fast
Autocorrect is real good
you open out of stealth with lots of rupture, and you have enough energy to spam cast for the rest of the fight
been spamming sc2 with the homie taking shots XD
kinda a lightweight so feeling it on like 4
I’m far weaker than that
sin?
should I be doing that fro more upfront dps?
for*
Sin, ass, assa
i was feelin this in the 21 throne first pull lmao, DH evaporated everything too fast
gotchya
Ye I play with bm and dh so things melt
fort week does feel better too
But imo sin is by far the best spec in keys once they are high enough
Does it ever break chaining to make sure it has enough energy to limp the to tea in KB? Like it’s never worth to go in so low that ur missing global inside KB right
No that’s exactly what I just said
why is no one playing the build from fuus simulation sheet (in m+ BMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEJJJhEEAAAAAASJJSLJAAAAAAgWSCSgkkSaJRERkEJRSTJSAA) ?
it sims 3-5% better for me 2
how much dmg does ur bandolier do in m+?
i feel like mine does rly low, not sure if im playing it wrong
bandolier isnt that great on sin iirc
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/q9yfUXkTZCMSQ5GCuBJRGL which trinket should i pick
im undecised
im kinda tilted that everything dies too fast in order to do decent overall
In keys double on use I.e, mirror, branch, augery is good, crab trinket is decent if you don't want or have double on use
mirror and crab both outperform bandolier on sin
fair price?
i need that branch
no you dont
you should probably mark it up to the price of a wow token
i mean i had like 10k in my bags so
So on st. Do you spam mutilate envenom, or do you just pool energy and keep it above 50% for bleed talent
238k seems fine for me xD
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
im gonna test it
do you have 4p?
with 4p you like to chain envenom
without 4p you try to keep sanguine blades uptime iirc
Still missing 1 piece for 4p
@balmy condor thoughs on this?
its missing iron wire
iron wire provides more than almost any other point in utility
That’s just hybrid but without iron wire and the most rigid talent run I’ve ever seen
when my teammates are scared of a pull cause there's kicks and then i hit them with "dont worry i have vanish shadowdance and blind"
It goes from Cttc to zold in a straight line lmao
No double shiv
Yeh
Nah
Build is troll as fuck
dashing over arterial
If it wasn't for iron wire I would play outlaw in keys
But it's just too helpful if you don't run dh tank
It might sim higher but that’s not a human talent tree
it it werent for iron wire, nvm i'd never play outlaw
Iron wire is kinda nice especially with vanish and shadow dance
whispar, i simmed the wowhead build for council in dungeon slice and it did simmed as much as the AP build and then also in ST and it does so much more ST, whats your opinion
I don’t have an opinion
but youre the opinion man
your words mean everything to me
Do you ever use dance without using KB? my brain just always uses them together since you never kb with out dance
i see. but why is that promoted in sheets who are often posted here?
Beats me
I'm using Zerocool's tyrannical build for alot of keys with smaller pulls, it feel pretty good
Sims higher I guess
don't prostelitize people, it's creepy
I don’t run those sims
!whispyr
I’ve never seen that build in my life
okay what about this BMQAcWb37Z8KXj8LlE1rTPXfsFJJJJSAAAAAAASJJSLJAAAAAAQrlkgEIJpkSSEkEJBJJalIBA
Is that the blindside venom rush build
Idk it’s 3am and I’m on mobile I’m not importing that
"the zerocool build" AAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
actually
Someone screenshot it or something
is the zerocool build xD
Go to bed then
Zerocool build kek, other guild rogue posted that to me today that I need to play it
I am in bed, people keep pinging me over shit
Picture plz
Toss that phone, turn to the side, close eyes. Life is good.
There are two pictures
It’ll haunt their dreams
Which one the good one c
That’s literally just the raid build but with iron wire and carnage
Yep
Revolutionary
Idk it was posted to me and I dont care and still playing shock
No ct would feel weird in keys
Watching the mobs go boom with arterial is kind of satisfying
This is actually just hybrid full on
Im curious to see the record dmgs from Sudden Demise
With full optimization and perfect timing
Actually doing decent aoe in mobs with strong burst with cd and very strong ST for Tyra boss. Me very liky
I mean its fine for tyra Keys IG
is what zerocool runs idk
Okay?
It's w/e
zerocares
What do you think about fish tacos
I use the solo dragon in fall for that
Oreo wins. Ahoy too dry
Literally perfect target to pop with big SD
And disintegrates on milk dunk
im more of a chips ahoy guy
I think I hate you all and I’m going to sleep, EU too stupid for me at 3am
but i do love u
Meow
we killed yesterday 5/9mm

Still curious what would be the most dmgs possible to do
With perfect timings and stuff
(Without amp dmgs on boss like in blossom)
RN my biggest has been 1.9m
It's a fun game to help halt the insanity from setting in
hi everyone can someone answer me a question abput the nick of time dagger with the timestrike hits?
maybe
mayhaps
Hello, just wondering :
I was in DHT +20 and getting obliterated by every last boss targeted spell
What sould I do to avoid dmg ? Feint doesn't work right ?
cloak
I'm quite "low" ilvl (460) but felt so hard compared to every other thing
cloak the last boss's channel
ik but long cd
you only have to cloak the first
you can meld/cloak/vanish the casts, iirc it doesn't retarget someone else
meld continuing to be very op
Ty for vanish tip
I haven't tested vanish specifically but I know meld works so I assume vanish does too
I was last week in a key with another assa rogue and he got the dagger on 472 and my old one was on 441 the left one was the dagger from the other rogue now i got one from this season and my dagger does still the same as before
Elusiveness is an option though not popular for some for that channel on xavius
Technically evasion and feint would stack on it
which cast? big channel he casts at 50% or prey on the weak?
prey on the weak
pretty sure you can meld the other casts too but no point since they don't do much
That's a lot of damage for his Timestrike to have done...
You don't have a log of it right?
was this on throne
timestrike is bugged with damage amps like ozumat
that much dmg from it is for sure from bugged proc
then yeah, timestrike does huge damage on damage amp bosses, same thing on BRH
I'm guessing you didn't hit ozumat
while other rogue did
I think the mirror trinket also has the same interaction with damage amps
and the clone does way more damage than it should
he had sandglass and bark trinket and yaeah i died before
Yeah, that's the difference then.
It's always the same thing on that boss though - no one knows to clear the ink or something.
then yes, no difference between your daggers don't worry, it's just damage amp things
i was in a throne key this morning an my dager still did only the 0.8% dmg with 1.64m and this time i hit the boss
idk what causes the huge damage
it's just a tiny bonus
but that's what is doing it
maybe the bug is fixed ya know
hyooge
its in the sim
ah ok yeah thx for help i did not know what i did wrong as i saw this dmg difference
Btw I'm watching whispy's most recent saved vod that is a podcast. does anyone know if any of these other guys stream as well? especially degen NA hours.
Is cruel dreamcarver on use worth pressing?
Imagine race changing to tauren for racial then realize its only bis for outlaw not assa, stoopid 😄
???
did u read what it does?
!dagger
For my defense I thought im going to play outlaw
Thank you i was trying to find this info somewhere
yeah, the best are speed and leech ones
gotchu
You just use it once - and the buff is perma
Is there a macro to check if theres a buff alrdy?
look in wago but it has 1 min cd so xD
you just go to valdrakken stairs and use it on the 1hp mobs
and yeah that looks good
Oh okay thanks
You can just look at your buffs up top
The leech one is like a wolf or something
yeah right ;D
represent
I hear about Sandglass being bugged, whats causing it to sim well but not perform that well? any ideas?
Wut
Yeah I haven't heard anything about it performing poorly
Or it being bugged
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
Mine seems fine in every run I do. Ends up sitting around 1% or a lil more of my damage when I use it
yeah its 2% of my damage overall. my friend could have just been mistaken about how it functioned
Probs was
Like that's a lotta damage for a trinket that's also passively giving stats lol
Considering signet brand is just agi and ends up around 3.5%
wouldve heard it here if it was
yeah I imagine so, this community is pretty on top of that stuff
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?
Gives you the master assassin buff for 3 seconds with subterfuge. Makes those really big final ticks for kb have higher crit chance
There you go
shmeeps always too fast
I make my KB glow on last 3sec

Make my life easier
i don't know if that is dratnos or not, but i definitely hovered over it thinking it was going to be :dratnose:
lol i dont think it is
Thanks 🙂
any rogues wanna do fallswith em and trade me nick of time im going insane
