so got the 4 set this morning, with the envenom buff I take it we aim for high uptime and keep it weaved in, but accept it cant be 100% uptime to make space for rupture, or do we hold rupture till we can maintian?
Guys are u guys using 1x wafting 1x sophic?
Whispyrs pooling guide shows you exactly what to do
2 wafting for now
I use w/e the robot tells me
is that within the IV or WoWhead guides?
I seems to have overlooke dit if so

TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back
- If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
- Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
- Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
- With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
Is there a way for this macro to show tooltip and cooldown of deathmark but use trinkets/potions before it?
#showtooltip Deathmark

If there is nothing behind #showtooltip it just shows whats in the macro first
If you want something way behind in the macro you just gotta type it out

Does shadow dance mean the nightstalker talent increases my bleeds dmg even if the bleed was applied outside of stealth?
pip trinket should only be giga BiS in AoE szenarios if i remember correctly
thats dslice
and dungeon slice siming is also not the best option
rather Sim 5min, 1 boss or like 8 targets for like 40-50seconds
to identify ST or AoE damage
right
What's the best build for this week? is it DTB
Also, who would have thought, trinkets that give stats depend on gear aswell
Last time i asked someone said that dslice is great for assa as its for outlaw
inertia build
We dont switch builds based on weeks
should i take into consideration, that once i get more gear, pip is gonna be stronger and stronger?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/atWZfszEiPwwwTAUpdkwCi 200k club if a send a few crests
i would see it like this, if you have 5000 crit and your trinket is also giving you like 1000 crit it is not good because you overcap
then what build would you run for fortified
in 20s
The same I run for tyra
any mythic plus build works
Thats AP with VR and BS for me
thats what does the most damage (for me its the shocking build because nothing lives longer than 15-20s) 😄
so in my opinion the hybrid build is worse (even though its still good) because everything dies too fast
ty
its prolly the higher you go, the better hybrid gets?
Whispyr built this for this question exactly
Actually thats targets scaling and he meant key level
But ye, the link shows their strengths
i meant key level as mobs tend to live way longer there

AP + SD feels the best for me, but ya idk if it ends up mattering all that much. pick ur poison.
!fuu
Is Hybrid build better than Arterial in Forti weeks?
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I just play AP in baby keys
whats best weapon enchant atm?
i actually think this is my first merit week
I feel like I'm not doing the dps I should in keys. Do you guys purely funnel and get everything going on 1 target, or do you tab to spread as many ruptures as possible?
you shouldnt have to tab, atleast not in ur opener
i guess depends on the pull size
but i feel like most of the time i dont need to
wrists and boots in my vault gET OUT
Read above
I usually do a couple IC ruptures before popping cds on a guy and spattering
Those that sim higher for you
outlaw vault^^
gotcha, I think I've been tabbing too much. Will try funneling more and just trust in the Spatter.
Wait I'm not meant to be selecting an ungarroted target in the opening 2-3 garrotes?
You dont particularly funnel mainly
once, maybe twice at most, but depending on ur key level, how long stuff dies, you might be losing DPS
Odds are you just arent sending ur CDs enough
You spread and then use Spatter to cleave
why does AP sim higher for me than hybrid on dslice whenn I have 4p
So they all perform pretty much the same according to bloodmallet 🤔
You could also watch videos of Whispyr to see how its done right
Why shouldnt it
some say 4p increased thheir dmg with hybrid by far lol
fine but im not gonna be happy about it
oh that's another thing, is it an idea to have spatter running on more targets?
nah
you can
I took mythic tier legs too, they are about same upgrade as any other legs out there
that helm tho
chyup, snacked it
People have different gear. Generally they all are similar, AP with VR and BS is better on ST and slightly worse on higher target aoe in whispyrs bloodmallet profiles for example
ye i wait till larodar kill
maybe i get signet or tier pants
I had no other options in my vault
i got crabs 489 ilvl vault, is this a good trinket for ass rog?🐻
Legs was 2.5k upgrade and I still yonk some catalyst from raid
anyone using kingsbane tracker? only getting 1.2m st on dummies as 470
🦀 bis trinket, sim it 🦀
noice
Crabs is honestly not bad at all, but if you have witherbark dunno if you need that much mastery
Do a sim for dummies and compare 
Could just use crab and go for less mastery on gear 
Just let the robot do the work
Branch is kinda no go on later bosses tho
how would i sim damage in kingsbane?
Isnt branch bis?
You do a sim and compare the kb part
If you can pull it off its fine, no reason to generalize
Leech branch !! ;D
Gz
yeah but wouldn't we be overstacked with the mastery then? hmmm
If it sims well it sims well
Even if you had 10k mastery, as long as it sims better for you than what else you have
if I wanted to play sin, but am statted for outlaw, how bad would that be? Would changing jewelry/trinkets/cape be enough?
like i have 900 mastery
so for M+ fort week do we use the sudden death build with tempest ? or still just the artprec/indiscriminate carnage one?
I already did not like playing branch on nymue and larodar. As soon as I get heroic ashes I'm done with it.
you activate outlaw this week my guy
We use the same as on tyra. The one we personally prefer
playing sin keys with spiteful is borderline sadism
Its not
I did one key today and it was alright
Only if you still didnt realize you dont always need to restealth
Kinda annoying but that's for all 3 specs
take mirror for future assa nerfs? 🙂
Guess you know something we dont
Still not killing you if you cant restealth anyways
for rupture maintenance, do we refresh during the pandemic window? and does that window change based on the number of cps we're using for rupture?
when is it good to use shiv outside KB and DM
from what i understand, both shivs line up with every kingsbane, so just use them there
oh sadge
Its big rng and its good on fights longer than 5 min where you dont drop combat
Never, both charges line up perfectly, one pre kb one in kb, repeat

How big is the 4pc upgrade for assa
I know it’s game changing for other classes and specs but is it as crazy for ass
4 piece always nr 1 prio
You will pump for sure with 4 pcs
Ive put it off as I dont want to catalyst. champion piece
just farming my 2k to get a hero piece for my last slot
save my catalyst for myth
but is 4pc a significant dmg boost?
To get 2k rating what level key do you need for all dungeons
Damn!
Yeah I think so
fury war being almost 30
Ele and bm are probably up there too
For me it was like 15-20k dps
damm wow, 24% is hugh
considering im like 453 ilvl and already pulling 120-150kish ST DPS with a non optimal rotation and some crap pieces still
thats sub rogue you talkin about
Wow I’m 460 barely doing 100k
for assa its like 6-8%
I have pips too 😦
Pips not that great
What?
Which talent spec are you using for single target and m+ ?
no way sub sp is beter than ass
It said it was bis
whats all this subrogue info here today
On wowhead
Showed pips as bis for assa
Pip sim about same as sandglass I did not even roll on it in raid
https://youtu.be/Nd_NmWbb3NQ?t=497 checking this info its 19 %
Dragonflight Season 3, Patch 10.2: MORE Sims for DPS Specs: Who GAINS the most from the Tier Sets of Season 3?
Who gains the most when compared to their CURRENT Tier Sets?
Who gains the most from Power Infusion?
What about Windfury Totem?
And Embellishments, what about them?
00:00 Intro
01:00 Bottom 6
03:11 5 More in Bottom Half
04:48 The Start...
So wowhead is wrong?
no wowhead is correct
Oh ok
Got me worried
Picked pips from my vault
Assumed it was the chromatic essence of this patch
Trinkets always depends on the content you doing some are better for single target others for aoe you need to sim your gear to see which would is better
it is
thats why its bis stat stick for m+
but if you dont have it on mythic, a high ilvl sandglass may outsim it
Tbh I care more about m+ then raid since i do it much more
I don’t see myself doing mythic raids this season
dafuq is this guy cooking
I’m not good enough
he is saying sub tset is a small gain
Only made it to mythic rashok before my guild imploded last tier
i will take fuu-s sheet over some random video
i mean council is 3rd boss, maybe you will be able to pug it later on
and the ss is dung slice
The screenshot has both
NO DAGGER FROM VAULT :) IM OKAY >:)
Is there any addon or Weakaura or anything that could help me with my opener? If I had a second monitor I’d just have the wowhead page open but sadly I do not
i heard someone wrote the opener in an MRT note
Just got mine today after 67 runs 
and always had it on his screen
Ia that lariat necklace?
How is the serpent coil trinket?
Oh it's lariat sister
not bad
I write a text WA with the opener and just place it on screen
would sim it
yes
Ok
Yep yep sweet mother of thrall
That’s a good idea. I’ll do that, ty for the suggestion
I still need to get the m+ trinket from the wod dungeon but hopefully this will work for a while
Probs gonna slap a pocket on a crafted belt and call it a day
Imma invest on ring next probably, still rocking shit rings
branch?
Think so
The qol is worth a couple DPS lost
Can’t remember the dungeon name
Yeah lol
Dunno, would only craft it on rings if I had to
Atleast they dont have agi and come with a free socket
I already have bis rings
Sooooo not gonna do that
Dang 2 489?
you guys get rings?
3 ilevel of agi on a belt is like 15 agi lol
im still runninga 447 crafted from last season
One is 483 but ye
If its 483 on hero track its whatever and you can craft over that 
Belt and bracers are the lowest primary of all slots and since bracers are where my patch is, belt is where the flavor pocket is going
Yes 3 item levels worth of secondaries vs 3 item levels of primaries
As long as they have your desired stats rings are not that big of a deal to use like s2 still, mainly stam diff the stats don't go up that much
You're talking like a 45 DPS difference lol
I'm talking 486 vs 489 brother
It's like 15 or 20 primaries
I though talk was hero Vs mythic
No lol
3ilvl is nothing on any item item unless it's dagger
Crafted belt vs mythic belt bc I cba to put flavor pocket on rings when I already have good rings and my belt is mid
It's literally like, it is so little DPS that it doesn't matter lol
Def the way to go if You've been unlucky
bonespike bros - where does this annoying little guy fit in, rotation wise? outside of burst hopefully
I have all rings from m+ but no socket
How come people aren't running Branch+Ashes? Bloodmallet's saying they're both BiS and I figured you'd alternate them every other KB?
It fits in the talent tree with no points put into it 🤢
So craft ring with well fed is the way for me
The value on bloodmallet is when they're synced with your 2 minutes
it's 4k dps for me I can't ignore the disgusting little creep
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
The value is SIGNIFICANTLY lower when you use it with just kb
I see, that's a shame :/
No PI KBS not so hot
So you're better off with the best passive trinket you can get
I grinded so many EBs last week and didn't get branch. Stupidly picked Ashes in the vault (though tbf nothing else in the vault was close to good) 😦
That's just how cd classes work
Ashes is not as far off branch as bloodmallet would lead you to believe
Ashes is a fine substitute
@flint lotus And tonight my watch in DHT starts for neck, wish me good fortune. See you guys in 3 days
I paid in spades for getting branch in my first EB, and the neck in my 3rd dht
Branch at the same ilvl sims 6300dps higher 😢
47 falls to get my hero track nick of time
For me ashes was +5k and branch +13k
any gamers?
good shit
I mean... Sure. I'll put it this way, the rwf rogues didn't farm for branch, so if ashes is good enough for them, why isn't it good enough for you?
Nothing's ever good enough for me
may I ask you what WA or addon you use that shows ilvl on items?
Like I'm not saying don't farm for branch - it is good and it is bis - but that doesn't mean ashes is bad
how should we use the branch?
Macro it into deathmark, pick up 2 orbs, wait 7 seconds, pick up the 3rd
delay last for around 7 sec
GG
okey il make a wa for it as well, just wanted to make shure what to set it up
tz
ty*
Replacing my 483 Coiled Serpent Idol with a 476 branch would be a 1% dps increase, with ashes as the second trinket. So I guess I'll run both if I can get them (until I get brand)
so macro kings to shadowdance and bark to mark, will lose half my binds 😄
I'm gonna come to your house and change your monitor resolution, and hide your TV remote somewhere
They needed to kill the boss fast, they didn't have time to farm it lol
I don't recommend running both
Even if it sims as an increase, in practice it won't be. The sim does some wonky stuff when you run double on use
Sure. Which is again why I'm saying you should farm for it, but ashes is also good.
You said the difference is not much and I replied with my personal case of over 60% difference. Nobody said it's not good enough.
And in practice it won't actually be that big of a difference.
👍
How do you guys manage deathmark in fyrakk?
Heroic?
Killed it yesterday in a few tries but there’s a situation where your dm comes up with golems
Ye
I sent mine for the Colossus phase, idk if it's correct or not but it felt bad kinda just doing nothing
And it's like either that or holding for like a minute till the next time you can use it
Idk, I still have to play with it. Fight timings feel pretty shit
Yup they do
what build are you guys running in 20+ and onwards?
im planning on pushing 24s this week
ap/blindside
Ik but you always try to do your best right
I do not feel good if I don’t know how to manage those kind of situations
are you running it with acro or with tea?
tea
I play AP for 20s and 21s, for that high I could almost see running the build some people cooked up that's just raid build with caustic and IC
what is IC?
Indiscriminate carnage
hmmmm
Yeah hold on lemme pull this up
Apparently either the top or some real high assassination rogue ran this for some keys or smth
Could definitely see it slapping in them real high keys
well i can maybe see that work for ST no?
that’s the build we play on council 
like on tyra?
- iron wire
Xd
He’s probably not sleeping yet
This is prime time for him
Anyone else experience the bug where you tell your teammates to hold w and they sit around while your shroud runs out? Think my teammates are bugged
Shhht dont summon him
aight the fk do i take tho
hands or coins
Sim it
vers mastery
waist is bis it sims
Maybe good for sub backup
Will augy get tuned at all?
but i think i might take augury just to cut costs on upgrading trinket
who knows
question, is it within reason i might be Fin myself over by go to fast thru my rotation?
not sure when and if im intended to go fast or slow down lol.
waist sims bis for assa and sub, while legs sim bis for otl
Go fast during CDs, slow down outside of CDs
Still cannot use caralyst to do 2p cause i dont loot smtg else than neck wrist ring 
Ok so @balmy condor 's WoWhead opinion in the article about assa on this week's dps rankings was quite interesting. However i have to ask, why is assa not as dominant in m+ as it is in raid ? As you all can see, its performance in the raid is miles ahead the 2nd highest dps, so why cant that take over into m+ aswell ? I would like to make dhs cry in m+ but its the other way around
Catalyst off pieces for mog 
Things die fast in m+ and assa is a dot spec at the end of the day
And part of the raid performance in that graph is augvoker log hooks being broken
Because dh only put 9 imolation auras on them and felrush into other packs, they make tanks and healers cry also 
Oh
So a bit misleading
Same thing will probably happen every tier till the end of time
Lmao its so annoying how they pressed 2-3 buttons and they're instantly 1 mill dps on a pack
I mean this week could be a bit better for assa
with it being fortified
It's all burst tho. If you're doing big pulls and chaining and having things live, the DH will fall off and you'll catch up
Yeah solid point, thats what im planning to see later in the season when we get more gear and do higher keys
Fort week, maybe I can finish a kingsbane window on my 20s now 😛
First pull of fall we chained to boss and the DH started the pull at 1mil and ended the boss at 250, I started the pull at 400 and ended the boss at 500 xd
How didnt you if you read his post
It literally says its partly because of aug and pi
Yes but it wasnt specified that there was a bug related to the aug hooks. I thought he only meant that its due to the aug buffing the rogue
Unlikely. Stuff still dies too fast if you have a blaster group 
There even is a link of what is bugged
not me screaming at a ret pala and demo lock to leave the guy marked with Moon alone 😛 😛
Aug buffs aren't supposed to reflected in your damage, it's supposed to be attributed to the evoker
guys im having some issues with dps off cds can anyone give me some tips to maintain some dps when cds are gone?
anyone got any clue how to make the decision to play either sudden demise or arterial precision in m+? After trying Arterial Precision in keys I just can't make myself go back to sudden demise build, it feels like shit.
Both have demise

What exactly are you looking for? While not in CDs you maintain bleeds, and chain envenoms
AP and Hybrid from the guides both use it
Arterial Precision and Dragon-Tempered Blades both have Sudden Demise
I personally play AP with VR and BS
crimson tempest just feels too clunky
i haven't looked into the guides too much, was just using the Zerocool builds
in a ST situation after cds, my dps goes down a lot, i have seen rogues that can maintain some dps but i can't do that, im mainining bleeds and envenoms but idk
Yeah blindside makes me feel better so I just play that
the #1 m+ rogue atm
yeah love blindside
How does a dot you apply once or max twice a pack feel clunky
I mean, yeah, that's like kinda just how burst classes work. You burst, then you wait, then you burst, then you wait
Like is there something specific you're struggling with? Do you have 4p and are you chaining properly? Are you pooling properly? What's your item level? There's a lot of variables here and your statement is kinda broad
I'm not tryna be an ass or anything I just have no info to go off
Doesnt make his builds any better. Id always go with what Whispyr delivers. That aside, the stuff he played at the beginning was from Whispyr aswell
Just someone having the highest rio doesnt automatically mean he has everything optimized
Should I go for mythic legs(non tier) or heroic hands (tier) and cata the helmet and get my 4p?or stay 2p but with mythic legs
how do you like the hybrid build in comparison to the aertical after the last two weeks? i played aert in fort and hybrid last week but just from a feeling perspective i like aertical more
To build in this, what people do in push keys will be much different than what is necessary for lower keys, and it's also optimized for their comp
If optimal at all ye😁
nah, I think thast it just feels better to play the boardside, no CT build, and if he's (currently) proving it very viable, so the build is probably either fine or better or a sidegrade.
So just because someone is doing something wild in 25s and 26s doesn't mean it'll work in lower keys
One of the big resto druids for example runs kick which is suboptimal but he needs it because his pals are mostly ranged/high CD kicks
so I am just thinking to myself if there's much diff to play CT, SD if I can just bypass it
i'm probably not pooling or chaining properly, im new to asa and i'm trying to get used to. I do have 4pc and i'm 470ilvl atm , seems that I have to get deep into pooling or chaining cuz i didn't know about this before you said that lol.

also CT not giving any energy makes it feel like shit.
Dunno. If you press an envenom or a ct doesnt feel any different
What davyn said
That should help out a lot
On big pulls I'm always at max energy anyways
So it's like
Idk, how can you even tell CT does or doesn't give energy xD
thanks for the help! imma check it out!
because it giving energy is a talent
in Fuu spreadsheet, I saw his patchwerk 1 target profile is still stacking some vers. Any reason for this?
i appreciate your answer r viens
Think the linked video will give you the most
yeah im watching it now
Because it sims higher for his profile
Sin can get good use out of all the stats
I see I see, I thought we dont wanna vers
What?
Some even gem vers
All secondaries are good, some are better than others to a certain point, at which the others become better
okay thank you
Very important to sim yourself
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ofs8vSW8EEVh54NrhK2S1C Does anyone know why having a better offhand sim less?
Yeah I know that lol, but I mean you said it felt bad that CT doesn't give energy but like if you other bleeds up how can you even tell? Like I'm always sitting on Max energy if I have CT rolling anyways so
because pulls can last longer than 20 seconds on fortified
does council fight use m+ talents or ST?
Actually another question that may sound dumb, but what your recommended sim setting for M+ ? like as a basic sim
Because Nick is the best offhand you can get
Bcs of timestrike
So you vanish and reapply bleeds
good one
so the sim is accurate ?
what if you don't have vanish or dance at that time
what if it's your 3 or 4th chain pull
Then you apply as many bleeds as you can until dance or vanish come up
Yes.
Its also the best mainhand unless way lower ilvl, thats why you usually dont craft a MH
What?
if both daggers are same ilvl does it matter if strike is mh or offhand?
hello guys, we in the 3.weeks now what do you think in higher keys can we overperfom dh-s or bm hunters?
Nope
You can apply bleeds manually btw
yes, not the whole pack
Yes even the whole pack
you rupture garrote main target, but doing it BFA rogue style
yeah ok so you spend energy and CP to apply ruptures
and bypass your tier seet
just like that
and do 0 damage
You don't need the whole pack, you throw a couple ruptures and throw out a CT then do some envenoming till you have vanish or dance
Your tierset isnt some god like part of your aoe
Yeah most of your aoe comes from dance windows and bleeds
it's not wroth to apaply 2 ruptures
If it's that much of your damage your probably doing something wrong lol
when I can do 2 envenoms
You rupture for the agi and energy, get garrotes up on as many as possible, ct and then Spatter cleave
Bc the 4 doesn't do that much damage
I mean he doesnt play sudden demise
every assass rogue I see has same dmg distribution.
every one of them is doing something wrogn.

what is the argument?
That is some intense 🧢
hmmmge
In m+ builds you will starve energy so fast if you don’t have multiple ruptures out
applying more than 2 ruptures makes you do no damage on chain pulls is my argument, because other spells take prio without dance/vanish as options
I mean it might be weak if you dont run the rupture agi talent and sudden demise

If you don't rupture at least 5 targets you're missing out on 20% agi anyways
pfp checks
yes no shit but you know what you do after you rupture 5 targets? the pack is dead.
guys i sim raid items for my assa rogue and it said the crit vers neck from third boss is bis
should i use it?
you can't use 10+ globals to apply 5 bleeds man
it's like 2 globals
He prolly doesnt use it because he doesnt play demise
but anyway
We were talking about keys where stuff was living and chain pulling anyways 
yes haha 2 globals without dance, vanish chain pull
i mean, how do you expect to do your rotation and cleave spatter, with no energy
If the pack is dead that fast the point is invalid bc your DPS is not needed and the key will be timed anyways
You dont understand
The pack is dead
Like DPS doesn't matter if the pack is dead anyways
How high of a key are we talking that the stuff dies quicker before bleeds matter?
wait so if the pack is dead what's the problem
Your DPS is only relevant for as long as things are alive
you're talking about chain pulling, that means things arent dead
If you get yelled at bc you do low DPS in a 5 sec pull as an assa rogue or smth then your team doesn't understand your spec and that's fine, fuck em
If you're chain pulling, that's where assa rogue shines
Things are alive and things being alive means more bleeds which means more dps
I mean sure maybe rupturing multiple targets without the agi buff talent and sudden demise manually feels shitty
But you dont just not play them usually
If you're not playing scent in m+ you're like kinda trolling
also, just did an 18 with the hybrid build, yeah im going back ap blindside, i hate not having energy on bosses
Scent is close to being good enough to play in ST
BRO ITS SO BAD RIGHT?
I can't stand it

macroing KB and shadow dance is fine as long as shadow dance is the first line in the macro right?
Yessir
Or ma'am
Fuck
yeah you can also use it with gcd
Lets hope Whispyr doesnt read any more r1 sin m+ no scent/demise discussions or he will be out cold
"greetings uhh sir and / or ma'am"
good point
I've literally never pressed my macro and then looked down to see KB off cooldown

I dont use one personally
fastest fingers in the west, man's brain is gcd locked
Opening vault ... No dagger.
Oh wait there's a branch there. Oh it's a 480 branch, better than mine 8/8 champion branch. Oh wait this fucker also has leech.
There it goes, all my luck on a single item.
My brain is the opposite of gcd locked, it's in permanent pooling mode 
I just put KB on the same key as SD so when the stance bar changes I press it again for KB
kinda smort ^
I like having them macro'd for raid
but also, i just macro them
you still need answer?
Less button presses, the only time I really press it and have KB not go off is in m+
Mob walks away while I'm busy dissociating
i will not lie to you guys, never have i ever felt the need to desync kb and dance
Just always have them separate. Wouldnt know what else to use the bind for anyways

No reason to have them separate
So it's like
🤷
if i need to refresh aoe bleeds i use vanish, not dance
i got a pro tip
Absolute blasphemy
clip the dance macro inside shiv or some other gcd
But in general, I'm never casting kb without dance so mightaswell throw it out if I'm dancing anyways
Or just use a macro where you press once for dance and a second time for kb

cast sequence can be scuffed though
time to experiment with different branch timings
Thats why you dont use castsqeuence
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast [stance:1/2] Kingsbane
Im 472 but only sim 150k , ive not managed to get a branch or either nick of time are they they much of a dps loss?
Got a hero path Branch in my vault... can't not take it... not looking forward to the minigame.
Keep spamming, I got 3 daggers from emerald dream today
I love when this happens
its just way less practical compared to ambersoul
however macroing it to KB means you can just stand still and you get the last 10 seconds covered
thats what im messing with
you got three nick of time from emerald dream?
No bro
I just did the 3 weeklys, and 3 same items which I already have
RNG you know
Good luck
Way is kinda exaggerating
okay, not really what i asked but thanks
its actually not, when you look at the shit you have to do for the later bosses
Yes I know, but u playing rng game, go spam more
!dagger
Morning. Can someone please remind me where is the page of rotations for sin rogue?
Did you play it yourself already or is it just hearsay? Because I for sure know people that did and say its not that bad

i progged larodar yesterday and kush talked about this i believe
so its not just hearsay
So after my CD's ofc im going to lose out on dps. but currently i'm loseing out on too much. i should avg roughly 105kdps after my burst's with CD's and i'm in that next stage avg' 80kdps "struggling to maintain" dipping into my energy bad. does my issue sound more like a spooling issue or something diff.
Sounds like low ilvl to worry about that for me
I mean it is kinda "easy" to play around branch once you get the hang of it.
Mostly you can just move forward, collect the two orbs insta and by nature u almost have the perfekt timing to have 3 orbs for the last 10sec of kb
oh yeah we're about the same - 15% for me - plus beast proc
If thats around your sim number you have no problem
If u macro it to dm
yes im currently 460* atm i rolled rouge just 48h ago for the 1st time.
560 
Dunno, we'll see. Gotta try things yourself and its worth to grab it anyways for m+. Also suboptimal orbs might still be better than ashes depending on how bad you pick them
I assume you mean 450
came from pali. at 475
im playing with branch since entering mythic
and yeah youre right, im experimenting with different timings
lol
when you macro it with KB you can just stand still, which i consider a big improvement
You're saying just use it on KB and don' even move. Do you happen to know the mathematical difference in dps if you sim it?
yeah you just dont move and it covers the last 10 seconds almost perfectly
which is the important bit
i cant tell you how much worse it is lmao
not that deep into the TC stuff
very much worse xdd
also macro it on dm not kb
can cause awkward situations by doing that
scroll up
If you just macro it to dm and do one step to the right/left it has the exact same result
what was the way to sim different weapon runes?
yes
maybe, i have to try that too
It's not the same exact, but do you know how long the orbs take to reach you if you just stand in place?
If you play with the trinket enough alongside the weakaura, you’ll get a feel for where the balls spawn without even seeing them
1-1-6/7 becomes pretty doable even when hidden by mechanics
No reason to be agitated. Even if it doesnt feel good, restealthing isnt that big
Seeing as taking everything at the same time is like a 3-4% dps decrease i’d say its quite worth
BetterCharacterPanel and DejaCharacterStats
are those weakauras?
It's convenient considering the multidotting, that's about it
This is probably the closest to 1/1/5 in reality - except your initial 4 seconds of kingsbane are missing 2 stacks. So it's probably like 1-2% dps behind.
So maybe really closest to like 3/3/1
addons
Cause all the balls are gonna get to you at the same time, assuming you don't move.
thank you sir
macroing it to DM, youre gonna have to move a decent bit still
guys its better to use deadly poison or instant poison ?
I mean it brings up the problem of sending a mini-KB before a boss in m+ though, then you don't have your trinket for the boss (sometimes you're saving)
General rule: If you spec into it, use it.
true
Maybe absolute rule
Why is moving a bit an issue tho, as long as you're hitting
Yeah I don't mind pressing it, basically moving to one ball, then staying still.
which is like 0.1% less optimal
What is the recommended setting for simming ? MM + focus
yeah that seems to be good too
or the ones that are currently on the target
it duplicates your rupture, garrote, and poisons on the target that are applied or are applied during its duration
Dupes your current and incoming for the dm duration
and what about shiv?
like
we do opener into deathmark shiv into SD into kingsbane
you shiv so it's up for kingsbane
so we boost kingsbane by preshiving and deathmarking beforehand, ye?
yep
okay, and do i keep all my stacks of shiv for KB?
yes
even if im specced into AP?
one pre...and one with just under 8 sec remaining
that's a case by case basis - but you want both shivs for your KB's yes.
I mean I can't pretend i aint out there shiv'in packs where I didn't KB ya know
I mean depends on the level of key and the folks with you though.
But normally maybe KB is higher, i dunno
send it on priority mobs and bosses really
What was your overall dmg compared to the other 2 dps
That's really the best indicator - and especially that, in relation to you timing the key, and by how much.
i went to a +5 on my 427 DH in single target spec, did 80k overall
yeah seems fine
got dicked by DH thats 13 ilvls behind
Your numbers will differ (the breakdowns) between hybrid build and arterial build
jeez no iron wire, no aoe blind
No care for team
Whispyr aneurism build
i mean i was absolutely trolling as im literally drowning in what buttons to press and when
but ill get there
i believe i shouldve played more into Spatter
I mean there's a lot of impromptu, on-the-spot stuff happening - especially in spiteful week.
The only thing gonna increase your spatter really - is bigger KB's - which sometimes isn't possible.
i've on occasion just afk'd and applied bleeds to everything, i look at meters and im doing 300k+
lol
what i meant is like, sometimes i just kept thinking i had spatter on target and did my thing
and then i found out i didnt
That would make more sense, but still no scent or demise 
do you use plater or something similar
whispyr's version is good
Or cevs
!wa
it makes the target green when spatter is on

i think whispyr's is like
i see some bleed running out
but i cant really see which one
I do agree with you on that
Hu
ill try cev
Make the Icons bigger if you cant see then properly 
but that just seems like a saturation fix
Does this mean we need to reapply bleeds when it has this yellow borders
it means that its in pandemic ye
i wonder if i can create some abomination on jundies' plater
cuz he has mobs colored based on how important they are
like if they are chunky or ccable casters or prio targets
I just look at the health numbers for that
guess i just became hella lazy
I think DH's also have a plater that highlights a rogue's KB target - and they blow their CD's on it.
if i consume amp poison with envenom, does it trigger caustig spatter?
It increases the dmg of envenom - so if the target has spatter on it - yeah it'll spatter.
yay, nice 🙂 thanks
Mine does that as well
is the flame neck thing from doomwalker daily lockout or spammable?
daily
Does assassin rogue have any ideal stat %s to aim for? Or just sim every piece and praise robot
no it doesnt,you should always sim urself 🙂
Oof😂
Oh nvm… I read “you should aim yourself”
4p scales with our crit?
question regarding caustic splatter -
is it only poison damage or does it spread nature damage (like doing more envenoms on the caustic target)
nature too
Poison is nature
poison dmg is nature
all poison damage is nature damage
but not all nature damage is poison
HUH?
was basically the question
What do you do when the pull lasts too long
do your dmg take a dive when you cant restealth cause of spiteful?
?
follow the priority - keep enough bleeds out to remain saturated in energy.
Like you ran out of stealth and your bleeds expire but there's still 8 targets
increasing your crit increases your chance to crit.
it's damage doesn't scale based on it
Does the priority say that?
that would be crit dmg increase not crit strike rating,that doesnt rly exist as a secondary stat now does it
You follow the priority and keep enough bleeds out to remain saturated in energy.
4set doesn't scale from crit which was the question
yes it was wrongly put,scaling as in its ampd
i stand corrected for bad english
thx
i blame blizzard
for what ;o
everytime somone says the word scaling, a puppy dies
and a kitten aswell
crit change/crit damage affecting thing differently xD
I think the only spell that's ever got directly increased from crit chance was chaos bolt if i'm not wrong
but i hardly play warlock so could be wrong there
and the firemage
it convert crit into matery
thus scaling from crit
(the overcapped part)
jesus blizzard 
But its based on our critchance? Sorry thats what i want to ask
Dh scale from crit and mast?
well yeh. any damage you deal has a chance to crit based on your toons crit. but the damage isn't directly affected.
besides non crit or crit
i meant it like this
let me double check the spell affect
Thats what i want to know sorry for missunderstanding thank you
color highlight of what mob is caster / what mob has biggest hp pool
Did a 21 AD. Felt terrible. No time to stealth cause spitefuls keep us in combat. Tank chain pulling. Energy felt starved the entire key
There is a !restealth command, i guess it will answer your question :)
Yep, I expect to suffer this week. 🙂
There is always dance and meld
just do 18s who cares 😄
But at least I have shadowmeld unlike you lesser races
Dance vanish maybe melt there is a lot of thing to procc our IC
Doesnt' matter what key level you do, it's the sucking of dps compared to other people that's annoying, not timers 🙂
But yea it will feel worse compared to to every other week
18s is just the optimal way to farm faster with less effort and not worrying about anything
I'll just save vanish for pack restealthing purposes, not for boosting kingsbane
and not losing the myth track ofc
That's probably not terrible honestly
Thats how you play in dungeons yes
It’s like very flexible in keys
get me out of this fkin hell man
I was top dps in most keys last week. I got shit on so hard in the 21 this week.
I did
I have got 5 branches from eb
Someone has the same problem on throne second boss, that when he get pulled he breaks the stealth..?
okay im blocking you
But not a single nick of time yet
They don’t exist
I need at least one
Yeah doesn't in Everbloom yet
Works in Atal, Waycrest, Dawn and so on
ah
Gotta add the new dungeons
then it was just a bad coincidence lol
Some point this week copium
nvm i dont have proper clip
Any tricks on getting back into stealth during spiteful week
, I’m farming out 15s for crests and well these little gremlins keep me in Combat, by the time they fall off the next pack is already pulled, guess just use vanish / dance for garrote / rup spread?
like color difference in cast bar
when you have ready kick= yellow
when you dont = orange
If im working on AoE for like M+ on sim's what do i use + the number of target's is ideal?
does it have good pandemic indicator?
and spatter?
Hm, it does show pandemic. I'll have to check if it does CS, I have a WA for CS
what weakaura?
So never really paid attention to the nameplate
Yeah I might yoink the interrupt script
I hate how those namrplates look though
But good functionality
i used this one
but it just doesnt feel right for assa
yo guys, got a question, ive embersoul and im wondering whats better, cast with deathmark or cast with kb?
Neither, like 4s after KB is ideal
But if you have to macro, then KB
Oh mine does not currently track spatter, but I'm fairly certain I blacklisted it from the nameplate, one sec
But would not recommend
Yeah my plater is specifically made for Assassination
As is Whispyr's
till now ive had it macroed to dm but i got separate bind for it anyway
But works for any and all specs
thanks Ceverion
Yeah don't macro
Just send 4s after KB for big dam
Yo cev, im using your plater and just wanted to check, you havent got everbloom updated with plater right?
what weakaura are you using for spatter btw?
like casters with blue plater and stuff
Oh, I'm dumb. It's because I wasn't talented into spatter
Not yet, will do later this week
but yes that plater profile tracks CS
sick, thought i was doing something wrong the whole time <>3
I got a mythic track one with leech 
Hi. Am I drastically fucking up my opener to lose 12mill damage compared to whispyr or is the different in gear that drastic? Could someone help me please xx
Whispyr: https://wowanalyzer.com/report/m1vyCDHV2rngWaj8/5-Heroic+Igira+the+Cruel+-+Kill+(2:33)/Whíspyr/standard/cooldowns#
Me: https://wowanalyzer.com/report/CZzpTGh19KRnXbQr/7-Heroic+Igira+the+Cruel+-+Kill+(3:49)/Jimpr/standard/cooldowns#
I just made one up man
But there's one on wago also

Wowanalyzer is not updated for 10.2 unfortunately
I'll look at the logs later today, ping me in a few hours
On a train currently
Thank you! :)
I'm just seeing these rogues do some fucking stttupid numbers and I sit there trying all these new things, all these vids and I'm so far from them its not even funny lol
You aren't comparing yourself to people with externals are you?

Hey, first time here. I got a question: Is there a way that I can find a priority list of items that are worth it to be put into the catalyst, since I don't know if it is worth it to rush for a 4 set piece, with a lower item level gear?
Veteran gear is bad, champion gear is okayish, heroic gear is good and mythic gear is the best
can some1 repost the list wich keys dropp wich i lvl incl. weeekly vault and to what ilvl its upgradable pls? cant find it anymore
!up
no
I think the answer to catalyst and vault questions is really based on your raid expectations (both what raids expect from you (do you have a committed raid group you are beholden to), and what you can expect from raid acquisition (do you have easy / regular / guaranteed access to normal mode/heroic/mythic gear)?). If you have a raid group that expects max dps from you asap to help you clear, then that would mean you’d want to spend charges on getting 4 pc sooner regardless of track. If you don’t, then you can be more reserved and hold back your catalyst uses for higher tracks. Myth track being the best

Hero track is 17 and above
ahh ye right
You aren't getting PI, you have no warrior, you have no monk, you have no enhance shaman.
Of course I understand PI helps with DPS, but i'm more curious if that and gear is the difference in 12 mill or me being shit
It's a combination of everything you're comparing yourself to the wrong guy
I usually pug it, but I think I am lacking in the raid dmg wise since im 4/4 with the old set piece and some items are 415 ilevel
ye i had that happening aswell on advanced sims
Like if you get a myth track off piece in a tier slot, that’s an insta catalyst for me, and I’m trying desperately to preserve and hold my charges for then, which meant I purposefully delayed getting 4pc despite having the opportunity to get it sooner, but I also do not have a raid group that expects the most damage out of me, I’m usually pugging
Understood! Thanks :)
I get that, I did exactly that, I was 4pc from last season until yesterday.
I take the bis legs even though it breaks my previous 2 set right? Even if I have to wait to use them
If you don't have raid buffs or PI, you can say goodbye to 30-40k dps instantly.
Yes
I honestly did not know it was that impactful, thanks for the info
Thank you ❤️
But again, it’s really subjective. Point being Myth track pieces you do not replace, so those off pieces you may get on the m+ vault row are parts of your final gear set. Hero track you may replace.
The raid buffs is the big part btw not the pi
20k+ from raid buffs
I dm-ed you lisonna, if that's alright
Alright!
I always just try to think of it as balancing “what piece will I not replace until next season at all” vs “how much damage do I need right now”, which isn’t a clear answer always
exactly
This goes for vault as well
Is there a source on youtube people go to for ass help? Reading stuff parses are ok. Kinda want to go next level though.
Is it okay to cast rupture during your kingsbane/shiv window? Or rather refresh it before its pandemic timer before the kingsbane/shiv window?
He did a lot of videos to teach
It’s fine to cast rupture and you should. You want to fill every GCD for more poison procs.
Just cast Rupture as long as you don't drop Envenom
Rupture in pandemic but Env drops in 1s?
Envenom
Rupture in pandemic but Env has 3s duration? Rupture
Okay thanks, was under the impression you only want to envenom during kingsbane/shiv.
rogue has 1 of the most worked on dslice sims
so yeha
you can
https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Misshides
any suggestions on what i take here? I crafted legs
im literally lost
what does the sim say
sorry dave i'm afraid i can't do that
Is it a bad idea to macro Deathmark and Shiv together? Or can you even? I was trying it, didn't seem like it was working cause Shiv was on CD after Deathmark being cast?
What does the fox say
dont think it will be that huge tbh
Both are on the gcd, so no you cant
nerf kb dmg and Put it into other abilitys
delete pi
delete aug
Ok, thanks
I honestly might like a shorter kb duration

yes
