My reasons
- Ilvl drop from jewelry is less impactful because it doesn't have primary stat, only secondaries.
- Crafted rings are closer to their (non-socket) Mythic counterparts because they have a free socket, so it brings the diff even closer. This argument falls away when you get vault sockets or a lucky natural socket on a myth track ring, which personally I'm going to have less access to because I don't raid with a guild, I only pug.
- Our stats are close enough anyways, may as well be able to pick what they are if you care to do so
- I have a max lvl JC and mountains of mats and can craft them for free so convenient for me.
Did you finally win some money from gambling?
feels like a stupid question, but when it comes to aoe, do you generally stick to one target and let IC do its work? or tab to get additional? ex >5 pack mobs.
no, i begged my guild for gold and they let me embezzle some from the guild bank
Reasons 1-3 are plenty imo

Imagine when you have to vendor gear mid raid for repairs
Swap if swapping means more efficient ic
So 6 targets
gear broken, guess i'm done with it 
Looking into it seems like Im not casting enough Envenom's 🤔 what does the Envenom vs Rupture prio looking like? I remember reading that you only reapply Rupture when you wont lose Envenom uptime? (multi-target)
On 5 I'd say swapping is worse, since ensuring longer garrote on prio target is nice
Gotta get a piece off every boss tonight or else I’ll never be able to play again
On a very general note, and i assume you mean m+
just have as many bleeds as you can at all times.
Rupture, Garrote, crimson temptest.
that's done? Cool, time to KB your prio target.
apply to nonprio first then swap to prio then
Do you generally CT before KB?
That runs the risk of ic not applying garrote to prio on 1st cast
Yeah Ive mainly been doing m+, and thats kinda what Ive been doing. I just wanted to make sure I didnt mess anything up since Caustic doesnt seem to be doing the damage I want it to
3 full seconds is quite long I thought D:
It's awlays rep from dream wardens
that's where it always comes from
I thought first couple weeks and maybe onward it was campaign quests?
yeah, depending on the build you're using, spatter might not be very high on the damage breakdown.
Hybrid build it will be higher
Arterial build not so much.
Ah I see, yeah Im running Arterial
What is the !dagger command showing with the little pictures for humanoid, undead, etc?
I think the very first one comes from the same rep quest which maybe was unlocked by the campaign
Yeah, I do as well, generally, depending on how long pack lives
and on the size of the pack
In a vacuum I guess doing kb first is better
but that's it, everything else is the 1500 rep one, has been all last season and this season
hi all, did anything change with our spec after the new updates?
like, for 2 targets, CT not high on the priority.
Ok just took a look at Hybrid, and it makes sense that it'd do more damage because of added poison damage ofc
Thank you so much for the help 👍
you mean in 10.2 or you mean just this week?
I'm talking like, multi target APL in the guides
today... when the nerfs hit...
Don't even do it until after kb on 5+ targets

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
Which is better ember or augur trinkets OS is otl
whats seems to be the hardest bis piece of gear to get right now?
for me, the stupid dagger from M+ lol
Probably an 489 nick of time.
mythic track avoidance shoulders (already got 489 shoulders) or socket fellas?
figures our dagger
!FUU
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
give me back blindside proc % 
Sockets are usualy like 600-800dps, so probably socket. sim.
Coins or..?
bando for M+
Bandolier and outlaw
/wa
yeah bandolier is pretty good for outlaw
I dont know about that

Don't take badolier. It's off 2nd boss and it's free if there is another upgrade for you
if you have your vault open, and have simc installed you can go into raidbots and sim dungeonslice and see
and it will sim your entire vault
don't even need vault open I don't think
it saves it wherever you go
As long as you have looked with it installed
Why are some rogues in high keys not taking crimson tempest?
because they want to focus on priority damage and let caustic do all their aoe
What’s the better of the opinions to make for some crafting gear
I mean I personally think my opinion is the better one
probably toxic boots and either belt or bracers with toxified
that's why it's my opinion 😛
Oh you mean for first two, yes boots + toxic patch on bracers/belt
after that its just down to what gear you have gotten, but probably rings and neck or belt
Ok thanks
what could you possibly find worng with myth track pants

my guild so jelly lol
how much haste you have soviet
what are you simming now post patch as well, sir.
im at 224
robots also tell me hast and verst now that i have that neck
in the practice pool aura
i didnt understand whistle tea
what it means
to use it or what?
dont matter
amp and deadly, the order you put them on doesnt matter
Can anyone tell me whats the key of this spatter damage difference? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/vybcNpmQnRCFTjqB/g7ZPQBtwTLaHVf8A#fight=11,36&source=1,Joroguen&type=damage-done
the stats
for sin. you think theyre worth over bando? im simming rn
his purple spikes are timed different than yours which i assume are when the adds are out
Yeah, he seems to delay his kingsbane, but Id lose PI window there, still how does that explain the huge difference on MAX damage?
Im losing my mind
ive also had splatter as top damage on that fight with 248K overall dps
you get shadow pi?
disci pi
depends if you have DH's killing them too quick or not
I mean he does have a say in it hahaha
It still doesnt explain the MAX damage difference? thats also my BEST try on splatter damage, on the rest of the tries i do like 70-90K max damage
stats don't matter like... at all for sin
you're right
Do you delay your kingsbane?
some top logs do, some dont
most do not.
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
I dont get it man, the max damage difference is too huge, on other tries im doing 90k with that and the other rogue is doing 210k and he doesnt know why either
"i did a gem sim, re-gemmed and now it tells me too change them all again??????"
its 100% kingsbane splatter damage onto the adds
crit rng+add Padding
caustic causes all poison damage to spill at 45% so if you have kingsbane up when adds are going its going to caustic big time onto adds
you can play 100% perfect
its add padding
look at boss damage on that pull @kindred flower and tell me who did more
But trying a full kingsbane on dummies my max spatter damage is barely 62K (with prepot and all)
if your last kb ticks dont crit and his do, he will do WAY more dmg
if he uses kingsbane so that the 2nd half of it overlap .with add spawns, dmg will spike
if the adds die to quick you dont get a full kinsbane worth of splatter
I did more
what is add padding sorry?
hes putting damage into spears instead of the boss
when you drop boss damage to burst on adds to inflate your dps overall
So its just kingsbane delay + luck with last tick crits on spears?
its kind of grief
keeping dmg for add spawns so you do more overall dmg, even if its not needed/actually harmfull
its fine for farm, but kind of grief if you guys are still progging
id rather have boss kills and loot then padding my numbers for parses if im honest
aka doing less actually usefull dmg, for more Personal higher number cus you think anyone cares about parses
does anyone know caustic range? and whether or not it uses you as the splash point or the target
I dont hit the spears on the back but I hit the spears on the sides with caustic
10y from target
your position doesnt matter related to that?
aight
when is the first gnarlroot vuln phase? do i have time to use burst on pull?
Thanks you guys I was kind of losing my mind here, I dont think I should delay my kingsbane and make my try weird just to have better parses by damage on spears
is it % or time ?
some guilds care about parses, its a good way to determine a players worth if you dont know them, luckily ive been in my guild for a while so if i get handed a certain mechanic and grey parse but boss dies we gucci
Would anyone mind positing their details breakdown of their dmg on a single target boss? I feel like I’m missing out on a chunk of dmg and trying to pinpoint where it is
dmg amp is at 2 min
use on cd and it lines up naturally

just look at any dmg breakdown on volvoross

On Warcraft logs right?
yes
it's the spec design
!dagger
tbf, if you are a halfway decent raidlead, you dont look at parse number lol
if you recruit somebody, see 98+ on all fights, but then go into it and see "oh, he is constantly holding cd's for adds even in his first couple kills", its a GIANT red flag
bonus points when you can see that the guy is doing legit 0mechanics and just afk the boss
im doing something wrong feels like lol
Why fan of knives sometimes gives less cp?
Fok gives 1 if you crit any of them it gives another for each crit
For max combo points get 100% crit
Thank you
is there new builds for m+ or single target after the nerfs or still running around the same?
what neck do we actually want is it not ouroboreal necklet anymore?
dis bad boy is what wowhead says
still same, just ST nerf mostly
Thank you!
idk what im doin wrong with this spec
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
prob not pressing buttons at correct time in kingsbane window
reading the guide doesnt help me figure out what im doing wrong exactly
Most of your damage is in CD's
ive read it countless times
@balmy condor just want to say thanks amigo. Do you have a Patreon to tip? Tried on your YouTube guides but it didn’t seem to have it available. Please dm info so I can send.
this help me and a bunch of guildes tyo get the timings right
red line is when shadow dance ends, then shiv is next line, then tea is next line then vainsh is last line
was the reason Rtwf all used ashes over branch just the ease of press button over catching orbs on hard prog?
ahh finarry
yes
would a 483 nick of time be better then a 489 dagger?
in offhand only
the nick of time at 483 in off hand would be better then 489 off hand dagger.. whys that?
timestrike
has anyone had any issues getting there spark?
Just got witherbark branch, any trick to timing the spheres? or just grab em asap
macro it to DM, grab 2 orbs asap then kite the last one out for a few seconds
They didn’t have time to farm branch either
or if your bad like me i just let them come naturally and usually will have it up for last ticks of kinsbane
tbh you can usually pop it and run fowards slightly so the 2 orbs in front of you get collected and the one behind has more time to reach you
sub sims higher for me now
how big is the nerf in overall dps
<Sad>
You guys choosing Pip or Sandglass trink if same ilvl?
pins
4% ish, check pins
depends
one better for certain bosses?
they sim pretty close. iirc pips is better in Aoe? not sure tho
probably just a sim angle
Hey guys embersoul or fyrakk trinket? I just switched to sin from outlaw
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ember probably, best to sim it as always
Pips is better on aoe and slightly better on ST if you regear around ur pip stats
But hourglass is pretty close
Is poison bomb not worth running over arterial precision?
a mythic pip is like .5% better than a 483 glass for me
we have another crafted item this week right?
My guild finally realized that they should be giving PI to the rogues instead of the hunters
on the heroic one where I am running as sub
are ST sims trusted rn? is there a spot to find trinket prio? my sims and bloodmallet are definitely telling me different stories 🙂
how do we get both splintered shards of the spark? I got one from a dungeon, is the other one guaranteed from the weekly quest or smth?
rep quest in emerald dream
the weekly "get ### rep" quest is the one that gives half spark and you should have one half from last week
if you didnt do it last week, then you gotta go do a dungeon or something to drop the spark
Is there a way to sim what the best stat on a crafted dagger would be for your current gear?
gear compare?
or do I just gotta slap on a bunch of compares with different compinations
I run 8 different droptimizers
I see
is there a way to macro different quality potions?
if I just /use Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power does it default to one quality if I have multiple quality in my bag?
macro's let you shift click an item when typing them dont they?
/use itemid:
hey guys, does anyone know the simc input to test all the runes for which is better?
think it was like that to select quality
We take deeper strat, and spend on 4, to create a safety net from seal fate crits overcapping cp right?
the 1500 rep weekly
probs part of it, but 4+ cp is just where we sit now with the damage values mostly i think. with the 4 pc and keeping up the buff etc
deeper strat is 10% extra
is there any value to branch/ashes combo or does the internal cd on use trinkets just bust that compared to swapping one to brand
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i believe it's worse, and I thin kit's because you dont have the passive trinket propping up the deathmark window with 2 on use
do y'all still play shock for tyrannical keys?
shock for all keys
i'm even more likely to play it there
blindside is a hell of a drug
nothing is living a full kb anyway
both good points, thanks
they are still technically equal or close to, but in my personal opinion blindside feels nicer to play
had to do a final soak on gnarl as he got weakened, lost half my KB 
what are u guys crafting this week? I assume whatever we craft should just be Alchemical pocket, but curious... belt? leggings? cloak?
my flavor pocket cloak
with the nerf to proc chance on blindside is it good to take tiny toxic blade instead?
Whats your guys avg dps per boss fight on ST fights in heroic
can we add a toxic patch embelishment to a crafted cape?
470ish ilvl
I take it there are no build changes since the nerfs?
@balmy condor That CTEAVE build works very well.
im doing 150k rn on single target at 475 ilvl and i feel like that is awful
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
nah it stopped doing that because most of them didnt even get read
makes sense
I'm in a very chill casual guild and we've just started heroic. I'm 470 and got 158k on Igira (6m37s) and 167k on Volocross (5m10s). We are pretty basic so I dunno how that compares to a typical heroic guild 🤷♂️
well if anyone's willing I do have a log that could use a review but if nobody wants to that's fine
hard to tell just bc those kill times are so long
Yeah ikr. There's a lot of carrying
like volcoross i did 222k but it was a 3 minute fight
Just suits me best for work hours
I watched a pretty great guide that recommended spending at 4+ combo pts in general, curious if that's actually a good thing to go by
yeah just always do 4+
someone needs to call the dude at wowanalyzer then since that recommends 5+ :p
i mean u chose to
u didn't HAVE to

yea u rite
Wowanalyzer also says that its not updated or optimised for assassination 10.2 tho.
yea ^^ true
I'm kinda new to the spec so forgive me but one thing I'm noticing in my later openers (outside the big one from pull) is I'll let my ruptures fall off, ik I should try to get a full rupture before blasting but in case it falls off is it fine to just spam envenom still during kb or reapply
were competing with pre nerf logs today right? takes 2 weeks to set in?
Would 3mins be more typical of fights with similarly geared/performing players? Using your 222k /3mins as an example
mine still had players that werent great
Ah yup
looking at wowanalyzer its mostly fine
can probably skip looking at the combo point section or the shiv uptime
and the thistle tea section depending on how kingsbane works out
I GOT IT!!!
use it a few times and youll get used to it
took me a day or two to get used to it
We macro it to Deathmark, right?
yeah
Anyone know how to get twitch chat to show on your obs stream if you are only using one monitor
Like in game overlay
for crafting my cloak, sim says I should go haste/vers. Should I actually craft this, or just go the better stats crit/mast or haste/mast? I think this has to do with my current stat distribution still not optimal
I mean idk
it doesn't matter
what am I dropping to get recup (i want acro strikes)
iron stomach
i feel at 475 ilvl i shouldnt be parsing 45-50%
mine?
keys
uhh idk you either drop tea for acro
or ig you could drop alacrity and deeper strat
for lethality and acro
yeah
but either way you're dropping iron stomach
i just couldnt get it without recup
what's the general advice for MNP vs Atrophic for keys ~20
I used to have a discord that tracked how many keys I have been denied to before I was invited. I can't find it. Does anyone have something similar
i assume nerfs were implemented into raidbots recently?
Whats the details setting to disable your dps from resetting from vanish?
Yes it's up to date.
do you guys do no deathmark KB on pull for nymue and then deathmark on add?
or deathmark on pull cd window
mythic nymue that is
Saving dm for adds sounds cursed
ok thought so
Only if u sickly need add dmg
yea
Better than perma wiping on adds because your group can't kill i guess
You'll have dance kingsbane on adds, its more than enough. Blast on pull
yeah
@balmy condor how does assa feels after the nerfs in st? Are we still pumping?
Tf does that mean
does fyriak trinket is good?
I'm rocking 24% haste and the sims are still telling me to stack all haste on my Torc. Does that not seem wrong somehow? lol
when the single 20 pulls through
Do as the sims guide you
Anyone trying any fun new M+ builds? I’ve tried hybrid and shock and they do good above a 20, but feel a bit meh in lower keys
feels 4% worse

i wasnt using my branch at all during raid tonight im a genius and forgot to fix my macros lmfao
what about the .5 or whatever
Will do.. Just feels kinda wrong lol
Yeh not sure what im doing wrong but im gray parsing for ilevel
what ilvl you at?
477
Everyone grey parses with ilvl
youre competing against some of the best rogues in the game at that ilvl
igira spears should I do anything to them outside of fok/splatter?
Never check parses by ilvl
I don't notice it
Only check overall parses
all my ilvl parses are grey too and im 475
Ilvl parses are all bait
overall im ok usually purple or better
Then ur fine

Missing atleast poison?
nope
just did the same thing on volcross lol
something is being weird
how you guys doing on tyrannical
No amplifying poison
ff idk ui musta been bugged
Hey everyone I just got my 4 set. What am I looking for as a quick reference to maximize the bonus?
will look into it further after my raid
!pooling
Read About Pooling
Video
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
so keep the evenom proc up as long as possible
Yes
ty!
BC that's how the tier works. If envenom is up and you envenom again, you proc it
So you wanna chain envenoms. And outside of CDs you wanna follow the pooling advice there to properly keep it going
With branch are people popping them all at once in raid or still waiting until last second to pick up 3rd one
kk
is there a yard range for 4set? it just says "nearby targets"
thought i was playing completely wrong in raid today and i didnt have my branch macro on my bar
Uh idk it rn. Could probably find it in the spelldata
wait so did logs not get reset with the nerf?
Is EU server coming up later than usual today?
3-7
only for you 
but last week was 3-7 as well and was up at 4:10
Oh, so you're calling blizzard liars? 
No they didn't make a new partition
At least I can't see it rn on the site
I don't think they usually make those for slight balance changes. usually they do for patches.
Or massive stuff like 4weeks after aug release when they ironed out most reattribution issues
But yeah it'll be harder to parse this week if that's your concern @north jetty
Competing against prenerf kills that also still have the buffed aug reattribution on spatter and 4p (don't think that fix got applied retroactively)
It's whatever, fresh even playing field in the next partition
Next patch when 
Yes, 4p and spatter didn't get reattributed correctly before
On the 29th that got fixed
anyone have a rough estimate of what stats should be around? im assuming based off WoWhead that thats too much haste
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

oof. no pi tonight and i could feel it
Hey just wondering, in my opener after I have used deathmark-shadow dance-shiv-kb when should I use vanish?
26% pull on first heroic Fyrakk attempt, nice
this is infuriating im 472 and feel like im doing absolute dog shit damage
3s remaining on kingsbane
to maximize the Master Assassin
Once I use it do I pop garrote again?
yes
yes
Okay cool, I was not doing that since I had already refreshed it during in shadow dance
Thanks
Why is your overall KB dmg what I almost do with 1 Use of it?
Also you should envelop before kb
Right sorry! I have garrote, snd, rupture, build to envenom then the burst combo
!dagger
Your KB is hitting for 5.5M?
yes....
yeah
Yeah, I'm seein some numbers
and no cause they are subject to change because you should be focusing on ilvl

was it actually a 15% nerf because i feel like it wasn't
Looking at nymue you didn’t get a single kb window right (a lot of damage)
First one you tea’d too late.
Second one I don’t think you even tea’d (it was probably fine)
Third one you tea’d but then didn’t vanish?
Your envenom uptime seems low.
A little rich in the energy waste, but still nothing cataclysmic
The major thing is making sure your kb windows are all done perfectly, and to make sure you’re chaining your envenom s
Tip your waiter
i thought tea during kb is very minor damage increase
my guildmate rekt was not using deathmark before SD and KB how stupid is he
how much of a dps loss is that
btw rekt-sargeras alliance
Still a damage increase
I’m not saying “your KB windows are dog shit fucking read a guide.”
It’s more “hey? Damage on the table, get that bread king.”
I don't have a number to answer this question
You mean, he was using DM During dance/KB?
in which case, bad. Not good.
oh shit i need to let him know!!
no wonder I gap him
he was telling me he was doing it right
@burnt venture this is him 😛
damn the callout
Holy fuck get owned bozo
Hi I was pinged?

I can assure you my logs don't show any kind of this blasphemy
Anyone have the tier list that just has the specs in alphabetical order?
are you sure this wasn't projection? Are you sure it's not you who is DMing during dance?
🤣
bro council as sin is so fucking trash
hi guys, I'm outlaw and thinking about rerolling for assassin, however, I saw that they are using two builds, with crimson and without, which is the best for this week? and there is a build with arterial and a build without
maaaan
I think it just sucks for melee
i thought imma peep at my vault but maintenance is gonna take forever
Woo there's guild AOTC
Grats homie
5th attempt, not bad
Honestly there are many builds, and many of them are viable even in various situations. People have been experimenting with them successfully
I assume that you're asking about M+ in general and not ST / raid
I would say that generally the no-CT build is really only better served for high-end coordinated keys where you are able to focus priority targets down and let the DH's blast aoe
Kill council once, bench yourself for all reclears. That fight is buttcheeks
Personally I just play the arterial builds, both DTB and Demise with arterial are ones I've tried and had success / fun with, but I'm also not pushing high keys at all
no-CT one is where its at
I'm sorry for forgetting to mention it, it would be a build for m+ anyway
tbh the M+ meta for assassination right now is "how can I speed up my ramp" more than "what's the best dps build"
half these builds just leverage that the ramp is faster
more than anything else
If you wanted to macro Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows to an ability what would we want to macro it to? I know the trinket CD is 3 min and all that but not sure if better to macro on something or not
Dance
DM?
Aight so every 3rd dance I'd have it up kinda thing
definetly dont macro it to dance lol, youll use it 3min on without dm
which can just be grief on most fight lenghts
Otru
I do but not needing to. Just don't want another button is all lol
Question to whomever can answer it. How does the Smolderon tornadoes spawn? I heard they were according to your facing but they seemed SUPER random this week. It's our first guild prog time on it
i was tripping balls for like 4 hours trying to figure out why my sim dropped 5k today
then i remembered
Or is it on equip
This, 2 minute CD
the spawn based off which way your character model is facing
Hot stuff
yeah you macro it to DM and forget about it
So, we thought that, but it very much was NOT today
Seemed almost random and was ROUGH for us
people forget to right click and move their model lol
I also was doing it. One time it was a Y with a thing in front of me. Another time was a Y behind me.
Idk we cleared it today and it was just like that. there is a WA for it
Have a name for it? I will get it 🙂
thanks
been having super bad luck wit weapons..still have a 447 weapon and im 472 ilvl..should i just craft one?
yes
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
unless its the offhand, then debatable
is there a sim posted anywhere difference between embellishments for st/m+? didnt see in spreadsheet
does anyone have any vods for reference on mythic? we cleared gnarlroot and igira tonight and i'm gray-parsing for ilvl 😬
does anyone knwo what the addon is that displays the region in the dungeon finder?
ty! also more specifically, does anyone have advice for dealing with adds that die quickly, like igira's spears? i'm still pretty new to assassination in general, so no detail is too small
GroupfinderFlags does that
Time to prayge I can pug into mythic
Not with that 476 Nicholas

Just used up all my wyrms and what available aspects I have for the week. Have 90 more aspects to get, and they all go to nicholas and both trinks if I get hero
Lemme see dem stats
I’d that a 489 nicholas of Timothy?
I would assume so
4 stat wep bis 
I feel like something must be wrong with my sim. I'm simming dungeon slice and I spec'd for the arterial build which everyone seems to be playing but it;s simming over 15k lower than the hybrid build. wtf??
Guy got mad at me because irolled on the embersoul despite having witherbark
I just hate playing witherbark so much
Tell him to just roll better
Dungeon slice is s tool for arbitrary damage count
Try an 8t patchwerk fight
for how long?
At least you didn’t lose a haste mastery ring to a devastation
Like I get that witherbark is better but its also a trinket you can fuck up
oh do this minigame when you have to do dmg
for how long?
how about no
this is based
Idk 40s? 2m?
Aren’t rogue players kinda known for that tho
It’s all arbitrary man
ya
swapped to M+ spec but
doing 1.5m
Brotha where is your crit


Can anyone view my logs and inform me what the issue with my rotation ? I’m currently using hekili to help with rotation but any advice to get better would be greatly appreciated
It certainly isnt in my double haste vers rings 
I don’t like vers
I wanna get rid of all of my vers
I’m very new to rogue so take it easy on me if anyone does do it
for raid?
Yes
theres this one cool website that is somewhat working i think
hekili just feels like huge bait
It is
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
there we go
@patent sentinel if you haven’t go read the wowhead guide, there is a very step for step roation guide to follow practice that at the dummies 
Then win
isnt analyzer broken for sin still
if it was i believe it wouldnt be in commands
I don’t think it’s broken just isn’t updated
lets see
officially outgrew wyrm crests. now we can raid log
You could always post your logs and wait
uninstall hekili, read the guide 3x times, go hit the dummy a bit
What's the best way to farm [Wyrm's Dreaming Crest]? low keys and heroic raid?
@errant swallow do a heroic raid then do 11s
Just farm aspects and then you'll start getting wyrms
11s and full Herioc clears
My guild decided to only run mythic now 😦
H is puggable except maybe fyrakk
See you in the lfg finder brother
I have like 60 Aspects, not sure if I should upgrade boots to 486 or not tbh
you should
I haven’t been able to make it past smolderon
should we be using our 3rd spark on a low ilvl piece? or should we save it?
Ok now art simms 75k lower than hybrid lol
This is my guild log, I’m Triickzz
You’re not upgrading the item just that slot 
ye
60 aspects on boots is better value than elsewhere on your gear for sure unless you somehow have unupgraded mainhand
Yeah boots are like one of the biggest single upgrades
What I want to know is whats the best way to farm flightstones
Farming out a Nicholas
had to be the only real answer
It isn’t wrong
oh the guide it says to spend envenom at 4+ combo points. does that include sending it at 4 CP? or only 5 or 6?

4 <= 4
What do they teach in schools nowadays
Maybe he hasn’t made it that far
💀
@woeful meteor it's still not up 
General rule of thumb: A number and a plus means that number and any number higher than that
Elementary school
believe it or not, mythic raid
Say it aint so
Discord? Simulations? Wake up brother get in vent we're chillin in redridge
thanks for the legit reply. 4+ was always >4 what I learned..no idea why people need to be douches when answering a question lmao
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
Alright grandma let’s get you to the retirement home
how is the stats command not
wtf @prisma monolith
X+ is always inclusive of X, kinda curious your background where it was taught that it's exclusive
Real
no flame, actually curious
What ilvl minimum do they inv usually to mythic raid
If its a pug, 489
nooo I'm still cool. I can do memes. SeE? Right curly bracket left curly bracket right curly brcaket left curly bracket right curly bracket left curly bracket right curly bracket left curly bracket

after toxic boots and patch for embellishments, should i use my spark on something low ilvl?
wym by this? Like people are opting to accelerate the opener more than before or soemthing along those lines?
Things die too fast and dont have time to ramp, so need a faster ramp
Cant DPS things that are dead 
I used it on ring because of gem and the feast thing
Alch pocket whatever
thats what i was thinking, Raidbots says its a dps decrease, but only 0.2%
probably worth it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Anytime fellow assassin
Shoot
these are my items ( crafted crit mastery neck , haste mastery shoulder and crit mastery dagger )
and here is my vault
which one is more important to me right now ? set or the neck , or the 2nd boss's weapon
Do you have 4pc?
he doesnt
no
assa 4pc is opop, but you should be able to catalyze to 4 set, did you run your sim?
Get 4pc, second boss is easy to get
i used my 2x tokens on 2x set piece, i will get 2k io today and with the shoulder set i will be 4 set
That's your answer
so 4 set is primary right ?
whats our third craft?
was looking at some top logs and saw this on council
maybe a cloak ? there is no crit+mastery cloak on loot table ( m+ only )
any reason to run the energy? i can understand the IC
Yes there is in raid
yea in m+ loot table only i meant
so what would be ideal to make ?
smolderon
I simmed all my shit and went for ring
hmm , idealy as i saw you want both dht fingers
Night
you go topgear and paste in your simcraft addon data
and then u select random stuff
idk
this just gives me depression
why ?
but thats not myth-tier
atleast i believe im gonna get the last boss trinket this week :)
but still , you play with the hero piece till you get it out of the vault
i think its socket angle idk
will craft engi wrists
and slap socket with mainstat on it
the cr one ?
that should be good ngl
i dont have a premade :P
my ST tells me that theres literally nothing good idk
it is odd
yea it is
atleast, mine doesnt have it
@lime crypt which one do you think i should get on enhance ? :P 4 set prio or myth tier branch :P
i have absolutely no knowledge on shammies
so the big "issue" if you want to call it that, is that things die before kingsbane/dots finish ramping. So the question is how do I get out all of the things I need to get out (rup/gar on everything, kb out, spatter, crimson tempest), without the adds dying.
Different builds try to handle that in different ways, arterial for example handles it by saying "man fuck the kingsbane, we just go bleed". Hybrid tries to handle it by saying "we go DTB, kb ramps faster, less reliance on bleeds, so we can focus on the KB". Eventually though people stopped playing hybrid, and the builds evolved a little. So what was the next step
The next step was "what if we drop CT, now we don't have to build for that". That again speeds things up significantly right. Just make the tier set go brrrr instead of trying to get up CT and letting that tick.
The next step after that was just saying "fuck it we go kingsbane, fuck the scent, fuck the CT, fuck it all, we just garrote -> kb -> win". And that's where we're at now in the meta with the raid build. It doesn't take CT, doesn't take scent, it's just garrote from stealth, rupture, caustic, go
okie
and that's not because the raid build is "more damage"
cause it isn't
it's objectively worse
but because the situation demands that the time required to ramp gets lower and lower and lower
and because people value single target damage more and more and more
the builds are moving away from a theoretically good build, even when things like CT are good, and things like sudden demise/scent, are good
and moving into just what does big single target, and what can burst
which isn't really a bad thing, but that's the shift that's happening
fml i raided the whole night with 3set instead of 4set cause i got a head with socket in vault that has the same image as our tier head so i tought it was a tier head
Ahahahah
i mean boss is still a huge part in the dungeon, isnt it
lolol
HAHAHA
Happen Bro
i was like bro those nerfs were fucking heavy holy shit
you let coked up DH eat up adds , cuz you need too many GCDs to deal good dam
yeah, just don't tell that to the people from shadowlands m+ that were maxing out AoE as hard as possible 
the high end m+ community is just a pendulum
then we got to mythic smolderon and our enhance inspected me and he was like why the fuck are u not using 4piece
one patch it'll be "single target is the most poggers thing to ever exist you have to get single target"
and then the next season it's "aoe is the most important cause it speeds up the key"
and it'll just swing back and forth
endlessly
i really wonder how much DH suffered after nerfs
but my guess is that its nowhere near enough
so are they gonna fix being behind on echoed ephemera or not?
cuz im at 35 instead of 40 and im not catching up
did u full clear raid today
yes
was at 27 before the full clear and now sitting at 35
so didnt even get the full 10
ticket time
just slap on wrists
so lets go and craft the wrist ? XD
lol
but what stats should i make tho
im cooking my raidbots
im totally new to rogue , i played feral druid for 15 years and i needed a long long break from it
maybe i find out some glitch in matrix
so i decided to go something alittle same as feral
anyone have the kingsbane weakaura?
i do
might you share it with me
I came here from feral too but at the start of DF
ofc

Whispyr for Prezzy
i think u r looking for this
i just got tired of getting declined cause they wanted "balance"
i got another one which is far far greater
which one?
so is sin parsing just dead now
not realy , it was 4.4% nerf only
btw guys how much was your biggest kingsbane hit ( full duration )
It's not a competition hah
I use both WAs together, they compliment eachother imo 🙂
but thank you!
i mean personaly i found the one i use far better for a newbie assasination like me
i didnt say its a competition
i did almost 2m on single target with 455 ilvl and 2x set piece with 1 nick of time only
He wrote the one you’re using
no i mean with aug now getting 4p and spater from sin
if you arent getting PI in raid is it better to even out all stats crit haste mastery vers? im seeing some logs of assassin rogues without PI and they have about equal amount of vers to other 3
So I just got my 4pc from vault and I'm doing 500k burst aoe on dummies now?
Is the 4pc rly this huge?
Nice
yey
this branch trinket is annoying to use 😄
Its not too bad once you get the flow of things
is branch bis ?
feels like when ever i pop it i never get to optimize it
Highest Kingsbane I've gotten was 5.8 I think
what other trinket is bis beside branch ?

i use accelerating sandglass or the pip trinket
was it on normal bosses or those take extra damage ?
like EB's last boss
That's not kingsbane damage
i tried holding kb for ToTT
ohh damn got branch trinket on mythic track! holy moly!
but i failed horribly
Damage dealt during kingsbane
Look at the aura name
It's called Damage Windows
It's damage dealt, during the window of damage
I need to add a title to it or something
to the on-screen component
yeah
It's just to contextualize your actual output during your burst
well then im clueless
I didn't want to make a KB aura
Notter's already does that
No need to reproduce that work
I also made the damage windows before Notters I think, originally made it for Shadow Dance for sub, so duplicating it for sin was like 2 spell ID changes
I am but I'm in and out, finishing up some chores for the night, you can type your message or dm it and I'll see it
it was a good time folks, Sub is simming 6k higher for me now. byebye
cany any other classes drop nick of time?
No
socket it is
😦
why are you simming dungeonslice
you crafted that already ?
ayt, so, in your weakaura pack, do you by any chance have condition that changes ur combopoint color based on how CP finisher rule?
like if its 1 or less cp away from 6 CP, then color of CP changes to idk... lets say red?
because im doing m+

and since i simmed my ST already knowing theres 0 upgrade - Socket angle, then i wanted to know how much diff is it gonna be on dslice
no, i dont have crests yet
is there any super BiS Rings for sin or is it just fake since you get rearrange the stats
mostly fake, just dont get too much high vers jewelry I guess
I have 25% haste and robot tells me more haste needed. Robot wants haste/mastery in my next crafted piece 🤔
Robot cant make up its mind when i get gear. Robot make me mad 😠

how important is it to get Branch timing right
Yes, it does this now. For Sin it's always 4+ it turns green. For Outlaw and Sub it turns blue on Max-1, or Max-2 if you have dance up, which is the rule those specs used (last I checked).
Can look at the conditions page to see what it does
i see , then i mustve deleted it
Since im not going to use Shiv outside kb+sd, is it okay if i macro them ?
is sandglass 489 really better than 483 signet? o.O
single target or aoe?
both according to my sims
xd
nice vault
i wont complain
What happens if you forgot to do the weekly last week?
do you miss something important?
i got again only shit in vault
What weekly?
