sorry, I meant once they do, I know you spent a zillion hours simming stuff whispyr
How come assa sims lowest according to the spreadsheet but performs highest?
i know, but still kinda low chance i guess to get avoidance aswell
I don't do any of those sims
feel like im simming kinda low for having 3 free sockets
!whispyr
!whispyr
cause there's more things in a raid than a 5 minute single target no movement fight
such as:
- anything
volcoross would like to disagree
boss exists? assa brrr
waht
we doomer again?
yes
no just lobotomized

seeing the word "nerf" attached to your spec lowers your IQ 25 points instantly
oh shit
we're in the negatives then
can't go in the negatives
so L
rogue IQ actually in shambles
The Problem is, if you are a bad player you can not take those nerfs
i hated outlaw...too many restealths...
you always enlighten me
just git gud
if u are a bad player the nerf is smaller than for good players
stoopid mechanics
I'm excited to hear the reasoning on this
I'm terrible at the game, should I start dooming?
It’s mathematically proven that once you’re nerfed, you care less and perform worse
bad player = no pi = reroll. wait for it
That’s why bad players are affected more
can't, I have a date with a blindly beautiful boomkin tonight
blindly or blindingly

@gusty mirage your punishment for failing sin is to play dust sub
he's doing the blinding, I'm the one getting blinded
KB less dmg -> bad player is already on the limit with opener -> Opener does less damage -> small number in details -> sad
???? I played it for smolderon
you could legit remove bad player is already on the limit with opener and it would be the same argument 
also the opener is entirely scripted
also if a bad player is doing bad openers
their kingsbane are going to be weaker than a good player
which means they're losing LESS damage
because 15% of a lower number
damn i cant figure out how to get rid of coldblood next to my name, i am forever the only assa rogue with coldblood
is a lower number
so you're not only making a silly argument that doesn't make sense
you're also arguing against yourself
hows that work
I can change it for you if you want
would you rather lose 15% of 100$ or 15% of 1$
yeah thatd be great
Lmao I dont know how I found the role thing
Mightve been pinned
would you like a new flare or just blank? @old halo
15% of 1$
that's what I just said
btw i am just memeing do not take it serious
oh
kingsbane one

thanks bro

Kingsbane bros
apes strong together
I am infacr a monkey
i loved kingsbane back in legion
Whispyr Help me out...how do i beat a 5ilvl higher Ret Pally in AoE at 18-20 Keys? i can only beat him at ST bosses i want to win a bet
I played sudden demise for like 1 day then never touched it again
Can't find use for that talent
tricks of trades to the ret, ez game
without seeing what you are doing, it's almost impossible to help you properly.
99% of its use is the 10% bleed dmg mate
lol
What... do you mean by no use exactly?
Aint no way its better than hybrid. Least before nerfs
Demise is my top damage for timewalking keys
fotm takes are alsays the best
Hybrid no amp no dashing

I been rogue longer than you
Damn coming in here guns blazin'! I still play Arterial 😛
Nymue Question, if you are on add while DM, KB etc comes off CD is it better to send it on the add or hold for 15-20 seconds?
send it on the add
kb is 20 seconds so if you got 20secs send it
60% of the time.. it works.. everytimee
plus damage from zoldyke
Do we have a opener command in here?
Im trying out assa going from outlaw, Im hitting the dummy in single target and I always get kingsbane as my highest dmg while all the logs of ppl have envenom as highest
anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
in logs it counts multiple parts into one section
theres 3 parts to envenom into one bar
So as a normal rule for AOE packs, i do not want to apply Garrote/Rupture if there is no priority target unless i have Carnage right?

Question: when between KB, do we stockpile energy, spend it down to nil then let it regen before doing that all over again, or should I be using my thistle tea more freely?
Also, reading above, do I only need tea for the last 6s of KB? I had been using a charge to empower my non-deathmarked KB and snapshoted rupture and garrote.
Or am I just cooked?

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
just save a tea for last 6 seconds of kb
Just to clarify wafting is better then sophic for assa right? Weapon ench
sim yourself
mine sims one each, just sim it
it vairies by gear, i use one of each cuz robots told me to
Ty
I find myself the most at risk for dropping the Envenom chain whenever I have to refresh Rupture, unless I was lucky with Blindside or Seal Fate procs around that time. Is it natural to have a chain break here and there or is it likely krill issue?
Happens to me too, not sure why
i had a word with whispyr and he said just let it drop there, you can do a 5 or 6 cp envenom right before that rupture to keep the chain going, but i guess it's not that important

if it lines up it lines up, but dont chase it
There's two components to the iced phial, the part that just randomly happens and the one from taking too much damage
are you pooling correctly
even with pooling, you will have times where it drops
troof, but then it says to pool engery to 80% to start new chain
Anyone have a WA for tracking indiscriminate carnage? I am using luxthos WA package.
Yeah I’m familiar with the concept and what to do if it drops, I was just curious how often it actually happens in practice.
def varies by ambush procs and having to reapply, or a mechinach
i would love to test how much loss it is to generate at 4 cp, and lose the cp procs to keep the chain going
I joined a weekly no leaver +21 EB trying to farm the trinket thinking "how bad could it be? it's just a 21". And OMG we wiped on the last boss so many times that 40% of my damage for the entire key is just him
really? and that random dmg isn't in the tooltip then because i can't see it anywhere
is it just what toxic phials do
yup you get damage every so often for having it on and also when you take 400% damage
replied to wrong message
gotta kill his tree friend the buff the boss get will outright murder the group - awkward timings on 2mins as you have to decide on tree or boss
on the 1st week we wiped at 5% because the tank made the call "just tunnel boss" when the add spawned
🙃
boss was 12mill health add was like 6mill
yeeeeesh
we were. Our healer was just not able to keep us up. I was feinting every stomp and still dying
yeah i dunno if that's fucked or scaling off fort or something
I timed a +22 EB last night with this DH tank. Strat was pretty cool. He called to not stomp the flowers and then when they all spawned he silence sigiled them and we just cleaved them down
funnel 
our DH tank sometimes takes teh boss for a lap around the room on DHT 3rd boss
Yeah i actually hate using that shit, and that having alc is like a must to run that in keys
it seems to fuck with shroud when it goes off for other people too

what spell
all spells
CT stops getting increased damage at 5
Spatter does reduced damage beyond 5
Scent of blood caps at 5
AP is 5
Poison bomb has no cap but 
Poison bomb has no cap because it’s too dogshit for a cap to make a difference 
r u still here sir
I'm somewhere.
would it be a bad idea to gem vers + master in my neck? the sim tells me thats the highest but i feel like no one actually uses those gems for Sin
i have feeling it will change after replacing a few peices of gear
well thats how its always gonna be for sin
what build would you go for in throne of tides?
id guess hybrid because of those fat crabs right? (23 key btw)
your stat wieghts are close
People gem what the robot tells them. Their robot told them something different, or they didn't consult the robot.
it will change after a gearpiece swap
Your robot is saying vers mas, so go vers mast
just follow the sim
OR
Don't
And just pick whatever
it's probably close enough
(But follow the sim if you want a real answer)
(I am here, you can ask your question)
i mean, if it sims highest it sims highest
assa secondarys are all so close too eachother rn, they will do funny stuff, so yeha, you get 1-2 different items and it wants new gems
just dont re-gem for 200dps
but then i figured out, then i wanted to ask something else, but i found out that it might not be the best way to do it (wanted to make it so whenever i use dance, the bar as it turns blue, tzhe bar would also go down depending on how much time left. But then again if i did it, i wouldnt see how much energy i have, so its pointless anyways

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
@limber lion hows the rouge looking like now??? now that dh is dead and unplayable and so im thinking im swapping to rouge now instead of dh. but how is rouge nerf then ?
I used to do so many iterations on every gem/flask/weapon rune / OCE stat combo back in early season 1 on my warrior, for who all stats are also pretty even. I wasted so much time for 85 dps
Honestly I go to subcreation.net and use the gems and enchants in those stats. I sim everything in general, but if you're concerned with "future proof" I think that is the most realiable yet lazy way. If it is best for 40% of top rogues it is probably best or close to that for you
yeah i was doing some regemming sims and it was like 0.3% diff or something

wanted to regem for sub smoldy prog
aint paying 12k a gem fuck that shit
i'll take the 0.3% L
Yup, that's why I just change the color and add the timer text.
is it possible for someone to sim my char? cause i am bit confused? ( st )
how do you actually get branch to be functional on tindral if ur doing first dragons
Is it actually possible to get the orbs properly
just pick them up 
just do 1/1/1 
I got baited. Should have looked at the stock
302 available in your ss, it's back up to 2.4k avaialble and down to 1k each
Wth is pandemic? I can't find any talent on it?
!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
Through whole prog I had it macroed to deathmark but as you noticed the timing is bad because you would be pressing it on top of the fire swirl and move far away from it. I changed the macro to remove the trinket and I’m now manually pressing it a few seconds after we move from the swirl and I kinda just wait for them to come to me while dodging both sets of tornados.
r u doing first dragons tho?
Is this a talent?
Yes
It's a game concept, it's not an ability (Well, it was an ability a long time ago but it became a generic effect in the game, and now everyone calls it Pandemic)
So ur just using it after the move and then rushing to grab all 3 insta for KB?
No, it's just a concept of how dots work.
But my KB has expired by the time I move to the feather
actually ancient wow lore - it used to be a talent for warlocks back in mop or something but then got given to everyone else
It does what it says here. All dots work like this, and when we discuss this behavior, we call it "Pandemic"#assassination message
Im not focusing so much on grabbing the orbs as I am on dodging the tornados but yes I’m grabbing 3 stacks eventually
Embersoul just sims so much worse, but I'm tempted to use it to no brain it
My KB is finishing as I’m moving to get feathers
do you by any chance know how to put like some super weirdass glow on a skill whenever the thing is active? like i press it, lets say cloak, and during the whole duration while its active, its gonna glow like purple lets say
Pandemic was a passive warlock ability, available at level 90.
The ability was removed when patch 6.0.2 turned it into a baseline mechanic for all classes for both damage and healing periodic effects (though reduced to a maximum of 30% the base duration). Though this mechanic is not officially named, it is still sometimes referred to as the "pan...
Is there a big dps difference if trying to play around it?
wym play around it
its a huge QoL to play with it, but theoretically you could ignore it and only refresh DoTs when they expire
The point is that you are safe to overwrite your own dots on a target based on the rules outlined (less than 30% of duration remaining) without losing any damage. If you wait until the very end of the dot until it falls off to reapply, you may have time wehre the dot isn't applied and that is a damage loss to not have it applied. You should play into it, but the point is the flexibility of application times.
Also most weakauras for dots that you may grab make an attempt to glow/shine or something to tell you when the dot is in pandemic, when it does that, it's safe to apply again
can anyone here sim my char for st? Iam rly confused , weapons runes are changing everything and with the medium raidbots sub is unbearable , thanks in advance
Ty
I mean yeah adding glows onto any aura is possible based on conditions, it's a pretty standard thing. The styles of glows that are (easily) available are on the display page (there are 4 available glow styles), and you can customize them to varying degrees there (including custom colors).
my OCE stat is 100%
I also tend to use the vanish window to refresh garrote and rupture since they would fall of when we are chasing the orbs
Is there a macro to use ambush when in a stealth window over mutilate? Not talking about blindside.
mine is 0
You can put ambush on the stealth bar and mutilate on your non stealth bar
ye
/cast [nostance:0]Ambush; Mutilate
If you're a non-stealth bar user like me
Ty
If you were asking how, go to display tab and scroll down then add a glow. Note down the Glow number (which may be more than 1 if others are already there.
Then uncheck Show Glow. Then go to Conditions and configure whatever logic you want for when the Glow should show. Sometimes this means adding extra triggers too, adding a trigger exposes its information to Conditions. (And you can make the newly added trigger not affect the trigger logic by making sure you use Any Triggers or a Custom Function on the Activation dropdown on the trigger page).
Inside the glow on the display tab you can expand the configuration options and change it however you like. Some glows have very little you can change (Action Button Glow) and others you can change a whole bunch of properties, but all of them let you change the glow color

ehhhhhhh
Frfr no cap on god
Are these good stats?
Idk low vers may be our best dmg, but then you DIE
I'm only doing +23s and 24s
Ask Whispyr for stat breaking points 
he's just going to say sim it
That would be a mild answer, yes
A whimsical, if I may...
I think crit a lil low
Like I don't even know what my stats page says
I have no idea how much haste/crit/etc I have
I know what it doesn't say... It doesnt say "Timestrike"
Your guess is as good as ours.
Miss the days I had 18% avoidance lol
Miss the days dodge rtg scaled with agi 😂

i think i got it working!!!!
also i found an issue
nice!
@exotic rose ye feels way better, ty babes
and oh no
whenever i was chaning color
i accidentally changed backdrop color to yellow too
also
this is fine right
... right? XD
i need ashes buff so i can justify not using this branch
No not necessarily. Did you add any triggers to those auras to do that?
these orbs are something else
when is it best to use branch trinket in raid? after you do ur rotation or before
What do u mean after
@slate crown any chance you could send me just the KB bar from ur WA that has the lines on it
!wa It's in my profile. My profile is a list of standalone auras you can take without the pack. KB Timeline is either the first or second result

I just made sound and text warnings to tea when 6 sec left on KB and vanish on 3
i mean like after dm, sd and kb etc
If you stack enough vers you don't even have to do mechanics anymore. It's chill.
i would imagine its easier to see the bar getting closer to the line and getting ready for the button than reacting to the sound
but the sound does sound fun
ngl
It depends how u pick up orbs, if u do 1/1/7 u can use it before dm
I try to spread the load to my other senses 😂
Eyes r kinds overutilized
do u have link for this ?
i was about to ask if you got a recording of it to see for an example
woo 1 down
I wrote it myself and wont be on my computer for the next 10h 😟
nope i didnt add anything to that
i took whispyr afenar
core group
and moved it into your group
but it seems to be working tho
The KB Timer bar in my profile has sound options for every bar, so you can add a sound to each if you'd like.
welp time to farm infinite timereaver because i'd rather do that than farm this damn dagger. better drop chance anyways
is it easy to import sounds or do i have to get a whole add on for that
need some tom and jerry sfx
Oh I didnt import any special sound, just used one from the menu
Weakauras has a whole library of sound effects you can pick from. However I also support custom sound effects, but you need to supply those files yourself. Once you have them you can enter the filepath into the options page and it will play the custom sound instead.
I can't help you get tom and jerry .oggs tho
the mouse is watching
All you ahve to do is place the file somewhere in your wow directory and you can point to it
Adding them is easy if you get the file. Getting the file is often the hard part if you aren't familiar with media manipulation
wowhead says wafting devotion for weapons, is that for reals?!
Just got an idea to import Bruce Buffer's "IIIIIITTTS TIIIIIIIIIMEEEEE" for my 2nd shiv warning during KB
The warning sign means an error was hit, which usually isn't good. Also keep in mind, those two auras in Whispyr's pack are also in my pack, which is why it says "2" next to them. They shouldn't collide with each other. It's not good if a warning is hit, you can keep playing with it if they're working and it doesn't happen agian, but that's not something I would expect or want to see. I am curious to know what, exactly, you changed, however.
do we have the dreamcarver buffs pinned somewhere?
!dagger
ty
Tho some of those titles are misleading
Do what the robot says. For most, it's usually wafting, but it can be sophic too if the robot says so, it can go either way.
good stats will make you a god player screw playing roation correct, planing cds or do any research. It all comes down to the numbers your gear provides
Thankfully you don't have to choose between the 2
Because if you made an innocent/simple change that changes a visual, and it caused an error, I want to know about it because that means it can happen to others as well.
Yeah except often instead of immediately collapsing it doesn't happen until like 20 minutes later unrelated to anything you thought would interact with it
robot says 1 wafting, 1 sophic
Dang, for me 2 WD were +300 dps comparing to WD/SD
And the damn thing is pricey
Cant make R3 WD yet
@slate crown yoo mindl linking me your branch wa

Thats just the different builds, not suggested per boss
are the aug log hooks fixed a myth or has it actually happened?
not that I've heard of
i mean
error was caused to whispyr's afenar group, not your own
this is the error if you want to know
Thank you, I will look at it.
@slate crown what i think would work is just straight up take your core and leave it be. I think its the same, right
I mean they're different packs. They're going to be different. The Rupture/Garrote are specifically the same, but the rest are going to have differences because, well, they're just different packs 😛
Within a KB window, after the stealth I'm not sure if I should refresh my bleeds or send envenom
always refresh garrote once in dance
Any swaps I shoud make here for mythic gnarl to get IC?
refresh rupture if it's in pandemic otherwise just focus on envenom
ah, the pandemic bit is helpful
I don't know that you need to swap to IC for gnarl but
if you were to, you would drop Dashing for it
but don't worry about a garotte at the end of your kb window?
it's rupture that's dependent on pandemic or not
guys, i trained yesterday, now i do more damage than the healer
, i just started to use my cooldowns, and flooding Garrote and Rupture
Correct.
Just refresh garrote once in dance and vanish each time. Rupture just refresh if it's falling otherwise envenom
within lust, and given PI, do we also like a Tea at the start of our KB window?
When KB is exactly 6 seconds or less
But better if exactly 6
Technically 5.99
does pi go to sin still or uhdk with nerfs?
Depends if the uhdk is a scrub

I think I'm doomed to never parse tswifty lol. just noticed my raid is running triple pally with freedom spam, and then mass dispel + 3 more dispels. not even getting 5 targets XD
didn't even top root damage because 2 hunters and a warlock are in narnia padding
is Narnia further than Africa ?? It is right?
on the plus side... I finally think I mastered my 4p flow
narnia is impossibly far, you gotta take magical means to get there
I see our warlocks poof out
Looked into it, this should not happen frequently, it's an edge case having to do with rare instances where talent changes fire in different orders. I fixed this issue a while ago but that version of the aura doesn't appear to be in Whispyr's pack. It should not show up often, and if it does it is harmless. This isn't guaranteed with these things, just happens to be the case here.
If you want, you can continue to use those auras, or you can delete specifically the Garrote / Rupture from Whispyr's core group and replace with my standalone version, you can find them in my profile (I have one for Garrote and Rupture individually). Or, you could just take them from my pack my overall pack has the newest versions, or just use my whole core group, whatever you prefer.
so realistically speaking i can just take your rupture and garrote and place it in whispyr
and problem solved ye?
idk why im making it so difficult
i shouldve just used urs from the start
and just change the bar so its down

I mean
These tools are core to your game experience, they are your literal interface to the world (of warcraft).
Have you learned anything new from messing about with these things?
It's good to have a familiarity with Weakauras and attempting to make your own like this for yourself is still good to understand, and is more than most do. If you've learned anything new, even if you end up discarding it all, you'll have a greater appreciation for the tools you use every day, and that's good.
yeah, i learned that its a husstle
learned to change colors
learned what gradient is
learned backdrop
and how to make glow on skills
and learned to make dynamic groups
wow arms warrior is pretty unfun to play
I kinda like that
There you go, you're a learning machine
Opening WAs and trying to make something gives me anxiety but I’d like to learn because all of the ones I see are almost perfect

If fighting 3 targets and I don't have any stealth available (Tank just chainpulling zug zug) should I try to rupture or garrote multiple targets? Or just focus on main target and dump CP into envenoms?
ez shadowdace ;p. but i always put up bleeds even when i dont have stealth
Don't always have shadow dance because its part of kingsbanecd's though... And vanish on 2 min cd
Especially this week with spiteful GL getting re-stealths
also to answer my own question. it was just detials being stupid and making a new instance when i was usning vanish and causing my to read wrong time
i dont using dance with kings bane this week for trash
im out of stealth to much
and get more out of it by just getting up like 6 more garrotes
obv use it for bosses. but i swear you get like 3 restealths all dungeon
So i get the concept of pooling but how does one know when it's time too pool like pandemic but idk i cant seem to grasp it, can someone perhaps expalin it another way? outside TLDR in there own words idk just not clickling with me what too look for for pandemic?
dh doing too much or im doing too little? its BRH 24

good evening/morning.
My name is Thanda and I started the assa Rogue. Unfortunately, I can't handle the rotation and might need some help with general things. I wanted to ask if anyone could possibly help me with this. Ah and sry for my bad english D:
I forgot to change my build after council so my nyume kill has IC 
i was working on it for half a day

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
you just follow the rules above.
do you have over 80% energy? start an envenom chain. which means you build to 4+ cp then wait until env has about 1s remaining before casting env again
you're still following all normal rotation rules
refresh bleeds etc
i got this shmeeps
if the env chain breaks for whatever reason
wait until env has about 1s remaining before casting env again.
what do you mean by this? if u use env then build cp u can use it again there is no CD.. what 1sec you mean?
i know how to pool and that picture makes me confused 
envenom is a buff on you
as well
when you envenom. there's a buff based on the number of CP you spent
and if you read your new 4-pc tier set bonus
you'll see that playing around this is an important part of our damage
and that's part of why pooling has become more important this tier than in previous
ok so my next question is this.
is it ok then to be auto attacking waiting for energy when on CD ofc.
yup
the way the spec works, is we are energy and combo point locked, which means we can have alot of free gcd's
if you don't cap on energy or combo points, you don't lose casts
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Hey coming back to rogue after years and was wondering what is the easiest build to get back into assasination for mythic plus
it can feel very counter intuitive to the caster mentality of "always be casting"
i think someone posted a screenshot of them waiting 13 seconds for their energy bar to refill after dropping an envenom
i moved to rouge from pali, like for 48h and classic+ SoD lauched and been over there but im bis and 25 of there so im back learning so noob questions really.
wafting devotion weapon enchant still better then sophic?
any build plays the same, unless you take one without crimson tempest, but i wouldn't reccommend that
you'll need to sim it
If I cant hit pandemic on anything, my energy isnt full and my combo points are maxxed. Im not wasting combo points in this scenario correct?
correct
thought so
just wanted to make sure I wasnt crazy
I was explaining this to a guildie the other day then later I was second guessing myself lol
there is more to do with envenom that could be useful to know, whether you have the buff etc
but if you are mid envenom chain, and it hasn't dropped yet, you are good to wait
When im able to cast ambush outside of stealth (ie. shadowdance etc). Does Ambush do more dmg then envenom (Assuming I dont let chain fall off?
but you still wouldn't be wasting combo points
if you can cast ambush outside of stealth, being blindside, you would use it the same as you would mutilate
Comparing ambush to envenom is a really weird thing
I see a lot of people in their dance window doing Garrote, amb, ENV, AMB, ENV Im curious if they are sending less that 4 point envenoms here or not
ty friendo 🙂
No, it’s critting to 4
Ya sorry I was lacking context and realized I askked it wrong anyway
ahh ok so rules still apply in dance window for when to send Env 4+ always
also why does that envenom icon look like spring onions
onions are tasty
facts
i am arteest
the only reason i haven't done one for an opener, is too many icons to draw
!dagger
is there a way for details not to make a new segment after vanishing when hittin dummy
yes
set it to dynamic overall in settings
just make sure you set it back afterwards
you can also use the script
thanks a ton
no wokkas
if you ask in assi - it's assi
if you ask in sub - it's sub
loot doesnt exist
Don’t believe big loot
all you get is
goats work well as sacrifices
try that
but yeah pretty sure sub/assi is exact same loot table
It is
The only loot table difference on rogue is outlaw slow weapons vs sub/assa daggers
Otherwise identical
don't forget to set it before you open. I did a fall key and got an outlaw weap on my 6th run 🙃
sir I thought you were playing sin
whatever the sim says
i dont think this dagger exists
on moldy smoldy now so i am back to sub for raid, outlaw for keys
see how it continues next week
Any other button-mashers accidentally use Thistle Tea twice? Any macro to prevent this, like a cancelqueue?
this is peak outlaw brain lmao
could try a cast sequence?
but im no macro expert
tragic
Havent touched sub this season. Although sin is a bit rough on smoldy
We got him this week, maybe H Tindral next week
i didnt play sub until smoldy because i neede the back to back chain pulls to figure shit out
I was able to pug tindral and fryakk this week. Checking the CPM on fyrakk and me and the other sin rogue were around 53-55ish? And the outlaw was at like 140
Couldnt be me
yeah outlaw is wild
Although I think we are doing the skip in normal, so att least trindral should be doable
Do anyone has a up to date IL chart for each mythic?
!up
?
i have another sin fix for u
it’s still big but yea not 140
Ilu
Ty
we dont like shadowdance right? okay we rework shadowdance
its like 80 something
shadowdance is now shadow "twirl" for 4 seconds you twirl and release barrages of poisons every ssecond granting 1 combopoint
Yeah I thought I recalled the simcraft report showing 85ish
cd is 5mins reduced by each time a poison or bleed ticks
what's everyones fursona
Is there a thing called to much mastery for us? I'm at 65% and 31% crit. The other 2 are at 10% is this to unbalanced?
That’s just tornado
hey guys quick question about class talent tree. i see WoWhead and icy veins recommand taking subterfurge. i dont understand it's usefulness since arent we suposed to spread garrotes in the openener (talking mainly m+)
Nightstalker
And you definitely are supposed to spread garrotes
Idk what m+ you’re doing
Ok this chart just tells me drops. I need one to know what item level I need to be to get in certain mythics+
a few times tonight I got this weird interaction in raid where I would shiv > deathmark > SD > and then my Kingsbane would not go out. I could do damage to the target, but it was Immune?
The thing on the left
Im blind
low ones just started my rogue this xpac (12-15) so nightstalker gets an added 3 sec from subterfuge if i understand correctly
parry rip
miks scrolling battle text was saying "immune" but I didnt have a chance to look in logs. so I was just getting parried a bunch of times??
The one where your thumb makes an L
May we should macro shadowstep before KB 😂
true and real writing my macro now
I get depresso when my KB parrys
I forfeit that pull
You just jump off the platform and call it a wipe
At least on council as that's the fight it happens the most for me
Honestly as a dps to get invited you have to be a similar ilvl to the loot that drops at the end so for a 16 you want to be 460+ to get invites
You can also be invited to a 20 no matter the ilvl for 500k dm for more jokes
What I get for 435 right now
possibly idk, maybe you KB'd gnarlroot in his "I take no damage phase" .. idk if he goes immune during that but that's the only thought I have
i was opening on pip to help even out and this dude is parrying like crazy 
Don’t open from in front then
Up to 5s until like 450 ilvl for a loose guideline
I gotta spin around aewrynn and dodge dog frontals the whole time to not parry KB
bis
it was on fyrrak and fyrrak adds
how do i just sim enchants on weapons
Ty ty
evasion only works if you are facing them correct?
so if your back is facing them it doesnt work
There’s a section under your gear where you can select it
maybe they should just delete parry from teh game
Yeah it's kind of dumb, like you can't see them to dodge if they are attacking from the back. That's why Demon Hunter dodge works 360 degrees because they don't have to see or something.
either delete parry or make it so spells can miss as well
and let mages glacial spikes be dodged
bring back resists
Under that logic, though, Evasion shouldnt work at all if you take the cloudy eyes cosmetic option.
Ok so what 430+ Mythics stop at for 5s?
That would imply evasion worked before
Im writing things down😭
fear sigil wipes all bleeds off? 😮
Ok meaning 16+ is 463
Im correct right?
Im sorry im just new researching this stuff😭
thats what ilvl it drops
+15 drops 463 end of key
honestly mate, don't forget as well you can form your own groups
90% of wow players don't realise they can use their own key
and it's not some cosmetic item in their bags
Yes but they not helping
ooooh if a DH pulls with fear sigil, you don't get any IC - it only applies bleeds to your main target
Bc im trying to figure out something but all im seeing what mythic level n items I loot to get a certain armor
wait, what?
But im trying to figure out like example
If my Item level 440 what mythics can benefit me
Zerocool just did a AD
anything above 2
the DH put fear sigil on one pack of those tiny raptors on the bridge
he opens with garrotes/ruptures - he gets no spread via IC
Im needing a list of all of it all the way to 20+
he looked at dmg breakdown after the pull - no bleeds in the top dmg at all
it didn't apply to any mob but his main target
Is this why people don't talent into IC sometimes?
No one does that
yeah so again, DH tank shouldnt pull with Misery to begin with - especially with a rogue, just let em iron wire the pack
Friends, I'm troubled. I've been doing some dgs and realized i have an issue of not using SD+KB in trash packs enough, due to the ramp and when om about to start the combo the tankyest add is 60% hp and won't even live enough together the full KB dmg
both specs of DH can take that talent
Yeah sometimes, depends on the pack.
so the DH put fear sigil on pack 1, went and got pack 2 - the group opened on pack 1
and the key level.
Low enough keys you will have that issue yep
20s
Yep
😭😭
I understand what happened, I'm saying that shouldnt happen. Misery is a great stop - but if a DH does that then hold to open on the second pack instead or something
tbf got to identify the mobs you can apply to and cleave off from - Abominations in Everbloom for example are very respectful of our needs
I do have that notion but my guildies know it too
They are real good at cleaving off from mobs
then do higher keys 😄 the type of group you are in will influence your targets and CD usage a lot
If our ramp wasn't so damn big, it'd be okay
Let me go print it
Once you go dark you never go back
Dark mode does make things 20% better.
Lmao
This is so sad
I mean easy solution is just get in combat with the saurids
This isn’t groundbreaking
I mean aside they dont live long at all, spatter one and FoK em all
nobody said it was groundbreaking but probably good to be aware of
I didnt see it tbh
Didnt understand it, all I was seeing was drops
I guess if I’m ever in a situation where my demon hunter is opening on a pack of mobs weirdly I’ll make sure to get in combat with the mobs I’m hitting
(I will forget, this never happens)
k 👍
too hard
oof that's rough
The same thing happens with any imprison cc’s btw
Always has even with old carnage
It won’t cleave the mobs if they’re under like blind/sap/imprison/etc
This one’s just giga weird cause the damage dealt from the other members should’ve broken them
But at the start he’s just slamming a garrote into a feared mob with no one around
That would never work
does that include silence? 
No
oh 😦
like hard CC?
tru

fear sigil takes forever to break too
unluigi
Yeah that’s the reason why it looks so funky
If that were an aoe blind
No issues
Would insta break
And no one would care
so is the blazefury medallion any good for assas or is it jsut for outlaw?
Pins
gotcha
/cast shadow dance
/cast kingsbane
I don’t believe you
I'm new, is this worth playing for fun, or is it a total meme?
God I can't wait to be out of Spiteful week
Im always spiteful
Is branch just impossible to see in raid or is that just me
only time I have trouble is when 4 of us pop branch and I dont know whose is whose
how much are you guys bursting to, on your opener (ie, after KB dies off) on a training dummy?
but mostly I just move one way then the other till I head a water drop then stop
I feel like im just under the boss and can't see them
maybe I just should practice it a bit more
I got it from a key like 3 hours before raid today and didn't bother to practice
Yeah, I grabbed that
makes water sounds
And it
so uh... i had a log invalidated for receiving "excessive external buffs". what is that line, exactly? lol
you got too many PIs
just makes 3 water sounds in a row lol
ya then you picked them all up at the same time
like PI's stacking or something, or too much uptime?
just pop it and move right or left till you get one then you can let the rest hit you
you can like move 2 steps to the side again to extend after 2 if you want
I swear the first =<16 Fall I do will drop the dagger and I will tilt off the face of this earth. So I am stuck in LFG refresh prison
if you have PI more than 15 (?) seconds every 2 mins or like fight length/2min whatever theres some number then its too many. basically if you have more than 1 priest PI you
I know, I'm doing it badly. Ashes is just way more comfy to use
ty ty
Whispyr could confirm but I think grabbing all 3 orbs of branch immediately is only like 1.5% less dps than 1/1/7
Something like that
Something like that. Lower than you’d think to grab all 3 quick
I think even if I do 1/1/4 its same dps so maybe not worry too much about the kiting
ya I think easiest (other than standing still) is going to one of the side ones then waiting for the rest to come in
I probably just needed to actually see it in action before i just went into raid and was like "where ball"
!branch
!ballz
He was mega grumpy today, had to have my mic muted all of raid
!orbs
Lol same Stuart same
Well, more than half
!Whispyr
It’s worth playing if you’re interested in playing the worst possible build possible given the talent tree
There is no build that sims lower
I just pop branch and forget about min maxing the orbs 
sometimes I like to pop branch then run away so I get no balls cause boss left
that one is fun

dont huh me
Just pick them up
NO
Just never get branch so you don't have to look out for orbs..
Got a hero track one in my 18th EB
You guys didn’t get it in your week one vault 
no I got it by suffering through pug 18 & 19s
I had to do some suffering in GF, after the 2nd week I had 30runs and no dagger then I got one in my vault and 4 falls later got my 2nd 
Bruh it took me like 32 blooms
on 28 runs for nick of time. got branch on 5th run. win some lose some i guess
I have 1 champ level dagger in 16 GF's but I'm not trying to no life keys so I don't hate the season too early
im 90% there
Very true branch took one run to get

@balmy condor Is assassination rogue still valid in raid after nerfs? Or sub is now stronger
I was on a phone and it wrote double msg xD stop this nonsense haha
I have been since the changes first started. Blindeside proccs for me feel very nice
I feel like im doing something wrong or missing some key part of stacking KB. I see Assa rogues doing 1mil on the pull no lust, and Im out here doing 400-500k like im competing for second to last.
does any1 have a good branch WA?

With nerfs to blindside procs do you think Tight spender>Improved ambush?
Probably not right?
what trinkets are u guys farming out of dungeon for raiding ? i farmed branch alrdy and thinking of hourglass vs tot mastery trinket?
Do you guys use any additional weakaura for tracking kingsbane

yeah, LE's is great with markers for TT, Shiv and Vanish
I dont really see the value tbf
I have one but I never look at it
to track the cd and duration, yes, but once I hit the button, there is only one goal, spam evisc so I don't know that having a timer even really helps
Is there a good/best practice place to put on use trinkets in a macro?
played a lot of sub/outlaw never assi
read up but lots of macros old for pre 10.2 and ive been away a while
on your deathmark
Embersoul you want to use 2-3s after KB (so its still running when KB runs out)
ah kk THANKS appreciated
cant use both in a single macro
one will put the other on cd and the duration of the cd is dependent on the trinket
dont ask me why
cause Blizzurd 😄
oh right...i remember that from SL when i played last
ya the gap
so pick best one for macro there
ok ill tinker thanks all
what other trinkets do you you have
2 on use is usually not great for assassination since all of our damage is in a 15 second window
sandglass is GIGA
yeah
kk
use sandglass and branch
yuhp
im an signet + embersoul enjoyer
nice 😄
nothing wrong with that stealthi
I branch signet
but branch is sooooo bad at short fights
ah good to know
that I wish I had sandglass
not getting me to use branch for this
yeah no fucking way
branch is cringe
branch isnt too bad
i have all hte m+ trinkets
i prefer branch because i can just macro it to DM 😄
hmm kk
ya the macro is nice while im learning the rotation and pooling of assi
can forget about it 😄
hey sorry for the quick random question, but does anyone have the spellid of the duplicated bleeds from deathmark? i wanna blacklist them on plater
Wait that’s actually a good idea
sent you detailed DM on trinkets
Thx appreciated
Buff settings - just places '2' above during deathmark instead of duplicating
wait its not even a mod - in buff settings
!fuu

Do you usually send ashes with kingsbane, or do you manually time it a few seconds in?
manually
Mmm
I've got hc ashes, and I've been seriously contemplating switching as well
The amount of situations where branch just fucks you is zzzz
Or when it's not possible to safely pick up properly
Or tanks move shit
Etc
hey, on logs, whats a kingsbane "hit"? I understand the ticks are the dot but I don't get what the hit is
Its probsbly the Application?
the initial hit KB does
it does a single hit and then applies its effect
ok thanks!
you are welcome friend
Is assa after the nerv still stronger than sub?
Quick question, am I doing something wrong or is assa aoe bad without 4 set?
could be alot of things.Maybe log something and post it here,many ppl can help/find out
I can do like 220k dps without cds for m+ aoe pulls ilvl 455 not to bad compared to other people I see
Assa pulls ahead on bosses and utility I would say
The nerfs are not gonna do to much for most people playing this spec I would say
4set makes it better, but it does good aoe without it aswell
the biggest "problem" is that your aoe as assa is backloaded
Then I'm definitely doing something wrong
so you have people burst the shit out if the Packs, aka DH/BM, and by the time your aoe starts, stuff is at 20% hp and dies
Did a throne 19 yesterday and only did about 100k DPS overall. Other DPS were fury and demo
demo blasts but in all,it can be many things
kinda bad to hypothesize without knowing
I will upload the logs and post it here
my guess would be you chose poor targets for kingsbane
but ye,in low keys u cant expect to do much,sin is a bleed specc
the higher the key goes the more sin shines
!dagger
I myself don't consider a 19 low. I'm not that into m+
Here is the log. Any tips would be appreciated
You running arterial precision?
m+ logs are quite hard to analyse but based on what you're doing at the beginning of the key you should check the wowhead guide again and check the aoe opener
only by watching the DH and the Lock i think there is not much to say.Odds are u didnt even restealth enough to properly utilize IC
Yes
Bro stop
Dont
Yeah it's quite hard to restealth sometimes with spiteful
ok so you have basic cooldown usage issues
