How do you even riggt an APL
that passive - aggressive hit that being a content creator or something means the entire discord is a fanboi is so wrong as well
we torture him daily
so much he wishes he wasnt
I mean
The entire discord will flock to defend him
no we dont
because I'm correct, not because I'm me
I don't give a fuck what people think of me
how is the sim comparing the bonus the group gets as a whole of the tank chain pulling vs not though? How is it quantifying the difference between potentially killing a pack faster vs chain pulling to save time and killing a pack maybe slower? (Real questions not an argument)
it's not
it's the same downtime across both profiles
that's just the damage for the rogue
It's not a coming to protect the TC thing. It's a protect the math thing. Because the math is correct.
So conclusion
It would be awesome if we could just stealth whenever we wanted.
Does the sim also take into account 2 other DPS damaging the packs and potentially not actually getting the full value of KB/DMs on each pull vs getting full garrotes and ruptures up quickly to expedite damage as they die fast?
again just quesions
You adjust your opener if you think you won’t be able to fully setup on a pack. Whispyr actually made a great video recently on it, I think that’d answer your question
its questions without reading the actual guide
dont think u acutally did
anyways ignoring you
u should,most of this channel will anyway for you
Stealth can break from:
- evoker leggo buff (Unbound Surge) dropping
- Essence trinket on buff gain
- Voice of the Silent Star (Sark cape)
- Misterweaver soothing mist when talented into unison (spec capstone)
- Blossom of Amirdrassil (trinket) initial hot dropping/spreading
- Vicious brand (Signet trinket self damage)
Which is right and why? Can someone tell me?
This is Pure ST at the end of your opener last 2.9seconds of KB/DM. (For context)
I think the envenom one
For what context?
It is vanish during cds.
But could just be rupture aoe spread
This is the last 2.9 seconds of DM/KB in pure ST
Then envenom prob
Sorry context is important
Yeah hit that envenom
If its ST, you rupture because of nightstalker snapshotting and buffing the dmg of rupture
If you won’t drop envenom chain, you could rupture there no?
I wrong
irrc, it's only 100 DPS gain if you were to snapshot rupture or something minor like that
youre all wrong actually because both the options are pretty equal
the vanish means DM/KB/DANCE sequence =>3 globals u always do.Which means there is a garrote and an envenom
I saw the quesitons, but just to finish off the whole cringe fanboy thing. At the end of the day, if I wanted to be some big shot content creator or streamer or I wanted to make money off of it or whatever claims people have thrown at me, I could have done 35 different things in the last 5 years to do that. I've made enemies because I'm blunt and sarcastic, and I couldn't care. At the end of the day, as much as it sounds cunty, I'm not here to make friends. I'm grateful that I made friends along the way, but it's not my intention to baby people and make everyone like me. I couldn't give a shit if people like me or if the discord flocks to defend me or whatever. My goal is to give accurate information, help people improve at this spec, and optimize how assassination plays. I didn't choose whether or not people defend me, the math and the logic can stand true without the support of anyone else. That's how I've always been, and that's how I always will be.
aka dont matter bro send whatever your astrology sign daily told you
guys 2 quick questions
- is it valid to not deathmark in aoe so mobs dont die faster ie you do mroe splash dmg?
- can i use a shiv outside deathmark for a bit more dmg in aoe?
- if 1) happens, do i solo deathmark whenever i need, or wait to align? or do I save for whenever i really need both
my friends playing stuff like demo lock with a looooooooooooad of burst so im not sure if doing appropriate dmg, but i feel like i could be minmaxing like this to do more dmg
this is in 20-22
not inherently, but the packs in dslice last varying amounts of time, and most pulls will actually end up with targets dying before the full value of KB/DM goes off, yes
Whispyr I saw your vid about swapping 1 point to take carnage. Linked it to like 4 rogues. And all of us facepalmed over our own stupidity and lack of knowledge.
Thank you for making M+ feel significantly better. Lol
ahh cool good to know the Dslice sim works that way, didnt know that
Back to my previous question. I'm getting mixed input. So is it safe to assuming neither is wrong and just do w/e with that finisher?
I assumed rupture would be right because it empowers but I have been using envenom.
- not really, deathmark ramps kingsbane much faster as well, so it ends up just being better most of the time instead of holding and missing casts
- depending on the pull cadence you might have some extra shivs, as long as you have charges for kingsbane you can send the extras whenever
- deathmark on its own and kingsbane on its own, neither one is insanely op. It's the combination of the two that makes things go bonkers, so you should try to align them whenever possible
my pleasure
@rotund oak This question also had nothing to do with the guide, and Whispyr answered what I was looking for but plz if I missed it show me in the guide where it talks about how dslice sim works and where icompares getting fully ruptures/garrotes up vs a half duration KB/DM.
and my fanboy comment had nothing to do with you Whispyr its with people randomly jumping it to say stupid shit because they think they are earning goodwill
I hate it just as much as you
Yeah I mean that’s what I was trying to warn you about
every now and then
I'll say something
and then fucking 10 hours later
when I'm asleep
people go "oh but whispyr said xjidsaiofjaoi;hfoi;eafoio;iajfoiaef"
and it's exactly not what I said
and then I gotta go 
fucking nonsense
okay, what do I do about stuff dying too fast though?
I obv wanna be as useful as possible to the group when playing assa
Is there a good rogue or log reviewer who would have 5-10mins to look at my log and point out anything major I'm doing wrong to help me improve?
FotM Swap here. 😦
i do very decent on signle target in the dungeon bosses
accelerate your opener and vibe
Well glad that’s over
one thing I do (right or wrong) is I dont use vanish 90% of the time during C
CDs
and save it
Wow discords just so crazy these days
any tips on doing so?
i try managing vanish like that a bit too
just slam cooldowns really early, like just gar gar -> dm kb
but if i see everything ran out and packs are still 60>
I would just watch Whispyrs youtube vid
dont we want spatter though?
oh okay, so thats valid? for earlier dmg slam dunk
or KB doesnt AOE
if i do so, does the priority still apply?
shiv and envenom following?
yeh but the start of kingsbane is whatever
you can just skip ruptures?
and spatter during it
assuming envenom doesn’t drop
you need rupture for spatter
like no one cares how good you prepped your kingsbane ramp if it takes you 15 seconds to build up to casting kingsbane and the target dies 5 seconds later
just slam it
and it'll ramp
and you can fix the rest as you go
Something that belongs in trade chat.
Gar gar rup 5cp envenom go
“Nice opener, kid. Would be a shame if I…..FEL BARRAGED THE WHOLE PACK INTO THE GROUND”
don't even need the envenom tbh
just rip it
interesting
fuck it, open from stealth with KB and then gar gar env after if you have to
but honestly im just learning outlaw for keys
In the 24s I was doing with a Havoc and a BM I was just pressing KB as the first global
I want outlaw for Lardo also
we just fucking SLAM dm + KB after garrotes?
so its good practice
And then slamming Garrots rup etc afterwards
Was the only way it'd last most of the duration.
I mean in the situation that everyone's complaining about where the pack dies too quick yeah fuck it why not
like realistically lets say it's 5 targets right
if you gar gar rup fok fok rup fok fok env
whatever
yuck
ick
you can just gar gar and go
look man its good shits dying, we're timing well enough, i just feel like im wasting potential damage
GAR GAR GO DEATHMARK BANE
I mean if I cant stealth before packs I can basically drop the garrotes too
if you really want to go crazy (and you don't have deathmark), you can KB -> gar -> gar
can you give me a "rotatioN" like that for like 5 targets?
just open with DM + KB lol
is it like rup rup dm + kb
spread garrotes during KB with SD
I never thought about just raw dogging kb from stealth
what do we priorize after?
getting snd up, or getting ruptures out
how to play assa in low keys?
raw dog
well the "legit" way to do it would be gar gar rup, mut for spatter, fok to 5, rup again, fok to 5, envenom, dm, shiv, kb, mut for spatter
and you go
but that's too slow for people
so you start cutting stuff out as you need
no i mean this is the defualt I do
so first thing to cut out would be the second rup cause you have enough energy
don't need more
whatever
get rid of it
so that's removing a fok to 5 and a rup
if you need to go even faster who cares about ramping your kb and getting the envenom out
At least in like 24s its still mostly doable
I assume shadow dance and shiv would always be attached to this accelerated dm+kb?
so now you got gar gar rup mut dm
if you need to go EVEN faster
just drop the mut and mut after the kb for spatter
and if you need to go EVEN MORE FASTERER
just drop the garrotes entirely
and garrote during the dance
deja vu assassination gameplay
yeah you always dance->kb
If you arent stealth (which is how half this convo started) The garrote are also irrelivant pre KB + SD no?
yeah
I’m just sending it now
okay whispyr this might (or not) be fun for you but
could you "set in stone" some accelerated rotations for when you need to do stuff faster?
I think at that point you're wasting too much of your cooldowns tbh
Assassination in dungeons owns rn cause you can do whatever you want and as long as you get bleeds and spatter up eventually, you do good damage
for the wowhead guide idk
I’ll do double rote rupture mutilate send
true
in theory if things die in <15 seconds
you don't really need to care about the start at all
you can just rip the kingsbane
and caustic halfway in
and it'll be fine
on a fast pack I usuallt do FoK > Rupture > Mut > DM > KB + SD
spread more garrotes and ruptures during SD
maybe rupture spread not worth though
for 20-22s I think I have enough time to get away with (5 target assuming):
gar gar rup mutt dm+kb shiv fok envenom > normal prio?
What’s the biggest KB hit you’ve gotten
in aoe or ST?
Farming 17-19 falls for nick really helped practice the accelerated openers
i need to farm some <16 and 17-19s for a few items and aspects stil
friends want to do my dht 24 tomorrow :S
I need Nick
i have a 476 one but i assume 480+ is goated
!timestrike
Hello friends and fotm rerollers, the 3% buff is too much to endure please never come back to this channel again, love you and sub will too!
Finally got it today, after 1897123 runs.
I've been thinking about it but it's just way too variable to put into a written guide without making like a whole ass page dedicated to it and it gets tricky.
Cause like you have all these things to think about:
- am I actually using cooldowns on this pack
- is there a prio target that needs to die, and how fast does it need to die
- how much burst will my party do
- how long will the pack last
- how much value will iron wire give
- am I playing arterial or cleave, if I'm playing arterial with CT, I'm very bleed heavy, maybe I don't really care for the kingsbane as much
- will the mobs be grouped up fast enough
- are we chaining?
- how much do I need to actually speed up my opener
Like yeah accelerating is cool and all, but there's levels to it and depending on your group there might be times where you accelerate a pack normally but you don't need to on this run because the cooldowns aren't lining up the same or the people you're playing with suck or whatever. It's just such a "play it by feel" type of thing that it's difficult to actually put into words. You'll notice that in this entire discussion, I only have been talking about how to accelerate, but not the when. I'm gonna be honest, I don't know the when. That's for the person playing to decide through practice and knowledge of the key and the group. I can give the tools needed to deal with things, but especially in m+, and VERY especially in the case of accelerating in m+, I can't make the decision on when to use what tool.
Yea, I have just been doing the default on wowhead guide most of the time, never rly thinking about accelerating cause i thought it'd make me lose dps or something like this
but i rly appreciate the explanation man ty
yeah I mean technically you are losing dps
none of the accelerated openers are any good
they're all bad for different reasons
but in the situations where you would accelerate, you're hoping that things die quick enough to where you're getting more use out of your cds than normal
and trying to pin down how much it's worth it, or if it's even worth it at all
is really fucking difficult
yea i understand, just thinking about it
probably easier to just slam it whilst in a key and think about it later
(after the pack) and then develop from there
yeh
tomorrow in the 24 i shouldnt struggle too much since stuff wont get oneshot
but like if you misjudge it, and the pack actually does last 45 seconds
and not like
20
yea its a loss
if you accelerate you just fucked yourself pretty hard
if I have vanish up I could get IC back and re-spread dots
but yea I will need to start getting used to analyzing pack priority target HP beforehand, seeing if the other dps are gonna use CD, etc
Even if you don't dedicate a page to it. There are some people who follow guides like gospel and will never think to KB before the 20 seconds ramp.
Putting even a caveat in there in the AoE rotation section just like
"If you find packs dying before the full duration of KB press KB earlier and continue with the rotation after"
Just giving that thought to gospel readers will help the lower end much more.
something like that could be a good suggestion
could also have one of the ! bot commands to briefly explain how to accelerate in case other ppl struggling like me come here and ask
yeah the thing with this is that I run into "KB earlier how" questions. And the thing about gospel readers is if they are lower end, and they are gospel readers, they'll just take that at face value and perma accelerate
it's a tricky thing to balance
but it is something I'm considering
I just need to find a way to do it that I'm happy with
i think;
- how to accelerate
- how it's more about feeling it
- do not take it at face value
I love feelcraft
tips like communicate cooldowns with m+ teams, dont etc
Also communication is OP.
yeh but you don't have to push for that
You lose? You queue again!
Max ilvl nick of time is like the ranked reward skin
You only gotta do the bare minimum
m+ might actually be worse than ranked league cause at least with league if you suck you lose mmr
m+ you just smash your face into the keystone until it works
the last time I watched great push tourney
they fucking ran the same dungeon
7 times in a row
and failed all of them
ran 4 other dungeons for score
then went back
m+ sanation:
kb dm fast
snd up al time
evenom up al time (boom)
big bleed up
failed it 3 more times
and then timed it
with like 3-4 minutes to spare
because they didn't wipe on a boss
11th time's the charm as they say
no one depletes the same key at the same level 11 times in a row
Honestly I think it would be cool if you could lose io if you leave or fail a dungeon
Like an actual ranking system
No more than now lol
new character name: io terrorist
People would leave dungeons less.
there would have to be heavy railings on how that works, but the more I see m+ degeneracy the more I kinda agree
if you want this to happen, remove the m+ time limit
most high end m+ streamers, especially early in patches
only really get high io score
Oh ya for sure would need to be a lot more thought out.
^
Nah time limits can still be fine.
how much time people put into pushing
when a good affix week shows up
holy fuck
some of those streamers
actually need a wellness check
I'm worried for some of my guildies
pushweek.mp4
It's week 4 or something and they're already about to snap
Meanwhile I got my 2500, I'm just chilling and grinding my 8 a week 18-21s
And getting mad that my friends pump too hard for my CDs to do anything
im 2 points away
tomorrow i get it ez

Oh god, how do i look at pins on mobile now? God this discord update is ass
click magnifying glass
I see, that is soo unecessary extra
yeah
the mobile update
is pretty bad
for pins and search
which are the two things that probably should have been more accessible
search function is actually quite good (minus the support for threads)
hi Are we more nerf
pins
@balmy condor i can play all 3 specs. Late ce guild. Should i master sub or outlaw or just all in on ass even with suboptimal PI? About to be progging smoldy-fyrakk if that helps
sub for smold, assa for the last 2
Ty
for M+, is assassination as strong as outlaw right now?
Think about thois
i think outlaw slightly outpaces assas and sub
Assa is stronger in m+ than it’s been this whole expansion
If you’re not playing it now
wtf you even trying for
im just an outlaw hater tbf
Also think about this
M+ is easier than ever
So probably just play whatever
Useless you need io to impress chicks
And then maybe care
oh yeah the top scores for outlaw are slightly higher than the top for sin. is there a spec-specific reason that outlaw outperforms or can push higher?
their aoe damage outpaces ours
they're way tankier
^
i wouldn't say their AoE is better
but there's not that many giga pulls in this dungeon set
i feel like its more consistent
so their 5-8 target power is normally gonna average out better
most of the timers are pretty free relative to the damge of the dungeons
so even if OL was a couple % behind assas it would probably still be preferred because of it's survivability
and it's better totems
because we're a burst class
flat damage profile good
so like yazma, totem guy in throne, bees in BRH, thorns in WCM
etc etc
most of the hardest encounters
ooooh ok gotcha
this idiot loves u though :3
never ever gonna intervene for anything from now on sry
What is going on
especially once u get past like 23-24 range
its just lfg pov unless you find a group
and idk how to make friends
Even with a group, it just ends up being week long m+ brain blasting
It’s like guilds overtiming their already 5 day 6 hour schedule
Shits ridiculous
Best isnt finding a fixed group but a semi-community/Discord where you have a pool of players to play with without pure pugging
kinda best of both worlds
if your fixed grouphas shit keys you just have to waste time playing them, if you are just 2-3 people semi-pugging then 
probably because you put mayonaise inside your grilled cheese sandwiches
im confused about trinkets, should i blindly follow dung slice here? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/empQYScaBRddEW94QoVsyJ
i know zerocool for example takes signet over any of those 2
I wouldn't use signet in keys

crab gud though
looks like it's basically the same as sandglass
just different stats make different trinkets get value ig
yea but my signet is 489, while my sandglass/crab is 483
ik he's taking this over sandglass/crab, was wondering if there was any reason
Have you never gotten annoyed over the signet dot taking you out of stealth in a key?
whjats the upgrade chart command?
!up
thx
yeah I got both crab and sandglass, glass sims higher still for me (sims seems to really like Haste)
%3 are we finished?
What do you mean? Last nerf or we will be super bad ?
I think we will be still good
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
recuperator is buggy guys?
Same with nick of time xD
i got it at the end of 26 so yea
total rng
Madness
I know there's 2/5 drops so it's 40% chance of a drop but then in the journal there's like 50 items on that dungeon
I see pinned post says nerf is around 2.7 to 2.8 on st, is it around the same for dingeonslice/M+ or different
Got mine after 37 runs
Waiting for a mythic one in my vault 
new sinrogue here
can you bind kingsbane and shadow dance together?
since you always use them together
Yeah, most people do that
At least in raid
Some niche use for using dance by itself for m+
I keep em together in dungeons as well, personally speaking
I keep them on the same hot key. So when I press dance, and can double tap for kb.
The dance thing for dungeons is really really niche though, definitely don't need to worry about it 99% of the time.
Yeah to clarify I use them together at all time, but I dont have them macroed together. Just used to it that way I suppose 
I think I've used it like three times since the patch came out. It's been to multi dot a chain pull and then kb a caster at the end of dance. And then I forgot I desync'd them and fucked up my dm opener on the next boss.
if I had to guess
its because he has a premade group
and they can chain as he wants
so that signet doesnt drop
Ha, yeah that'll do it... Think I didn't change my macros yet as I'm so used to it by now. Some part of my peanut brain afraid that KB won't snap with nightstalker on the same macro
since sin rogue is 99% opener based
I will keep it together
because I fuck it up still sometimes 😄
Yeah thats fair
Whatever gets the job done while doing mechanics~
Everyone seems to be using a different WA for the KB timings
I know the timings and the kb duration is in my WA pack
I just look at my wa
And you can use that to time every ability
Yeah thats what I do too
imagine not going off previous globals smh
that sounds like it would hurt
Yeah that's the thing, like anything UI related, it's whatever works for yourself
we all know tea is about a global after 2nd shiv
Wait doesn't this mean you use a kb wa? What do you mean you use none?
its no dedicated KB WA like most use. its just a duration like you would have on plater
Oh
I’ve never understood tracking it like that cause it has no relation to the shiv timer but I’m also weird idk
you're right, it doesn't technically
I'm using 3 kb trackers. Cause I'm silly or something.
mainly this is on opener or dm windows
shiv timer on standalone kb windows is a lil different
I kinda do like the notter one which doesnt give you any timers but shows how you did with your KB tho
any weakaura recommendation for assa?
I use luxthos + notter's
both of em??
I dont actually use it outside of jduging past KBs, checking env / shiv uptime
etc
I use my custom frankensteined UI weak aura setup
I'm using notter's wa, the bar wa with ticks for shiv/tea/vanish/etc, and standard DoT tracker above the enemy. It's probably too much visual clutter though
idk I'd use whispyrs, but I always prefered afenars (which it is based on) over the other packs before, so I guess theres that
mine is about env and shiv yeah
thing is the whole dm window can actually be predicted into one of two primary variations, one where seal fate makes you vanish on 0 cp or one that makes you vanish following a mut
idk why I never end up vanishing on full cps
Ah yeah that makes sense, I actually track my vanish by going my rupture at the start is always 6cp so it’s 28 seconds and then mut mut env dm shiv dance+kb gar env is a set sequence of 8 gcds and then the gar env is 2 seconds into kingsbane so then it’s a difference of 6 seconds which means my rupture hits 22 when i cast kingsbane, and since kingsbane is always 14 seconds and 22-14 is 8 i know that my rupture is gonna have 8 seconds left which means i need to vanish 3 seconds beforehand, so 8+3 is 11, I vanish when rupture has 11 seconds left
But yeh big agree, just tracking kingsbane duration is fucking insane lmao
thing is we can go off KB duration alone, that's how I did it on ptr testing before we had all these WAs

ngl, I need to get out of my trash habit of rupturing in vanish
I like rupturing in vanish, if rup is in the single digits I do it
Rupture goes a bit more brrr
Idk if that's correct, but it feels right
Yeah go for it
🎉
AKSHUALLy Whispyr sed in hiz last vid u EMILYVENOM
envenom
correcting someone with their own words is crazy
I said in my last video that it’s not worth trying to optimally snapshot rupture. That doesn’t mean it’s a mistake to snapshot it
oh lol
guess I don't have to stop then 
thanks for this christmas present whispyr
I really don't know if i should trust the sims in regard to the rings. I have the haste/poly + haste/mastery for single target on me. But also have the archdrood ring.. But the sims says the archdrood is worse ?
You should trust the sims
The sims ask me to change everything for haste/versa
When i don't even have the stats sins have in warcraft logs
That’s also fine, your character isn’t sins have in warcraft logs
like i miss 1000 mastery xD and i have more than 1000 haste
Yea that's for sure but it feels weird
That’s fine too
I tried some variations, Sims love haste a LOT, tried a different setup trading some haste for crit/mast (more in line balance with other logs comparable mine), sims higher shrug
I would feel weird too if I was looking at peoples stats on Warcraftlogs while worrying about my own stats
That’s a weird thing to do
Well i mean, yes they are playing their character better than me. But there is the stats that count in theses parses and dps
That’s fine
You worry about your character
You can’t control the gear they use
What’s it matter to you
Just trying to understand what i'm wrong about xD
but thanks
They’re simming themselves the same as you
I did say I was trying things out, and it is working out for me, I didn't just look at a single one and go 'copy it all's just changed the balance a bit, Sims love both setups ~
If your sim says do a backflip you do a backflip
That’s what they’re doing
And apparently it’s working for them
I don't know how to backflip D: WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ?!
Learn, and quick. Start jumping
If sims can’t figure out stats then you actually just stop simming entirely
That’s the one thing it was designed to do
do i short opener on larodar?
does this continue to hold true if you sim with pi?
I'll use my cat for that. She'll do that backflip (not sure she will appreciate it)
charge seems a bit funky with timing
feelsbad ngl, I think im going to be sub for the rest of prog, feelsbad taking mythic larodar ring
Like if we can’t trust that sims know what stats are better or worse, we can’t trust fucking anything they spit out
what's our worse tier slot? I keep forgetting
I don't sim with PI, I can't rely on always having PI. I have it right now but who knows when that changes
technically legs
legs
Accelerate, then hold the 1 min kb until he comes back from the charge and the rest lines up
thank you!
The one that sims the worst for you
Fuck the legs
Fuck bis lists
You know why everyone’s saying legs
D: well can't really change much right now. I have 3 out of 4 tier that are 489
Cause I had to get rid of one of the tier set pieces in the bis list and I flipped a coin wether to get rid of the legs or whatever the other piece is I don’t remember
You fools follow bis lists on a coin flip
Like actual apes
probably chest I'd imagine
inb4 it was helm and you could have ushered in the utopia of all three rogue specs not running helm
Ha, I wear my tier legs. Not like I got anything else to go there >.>
I could’ve if I wanted to
No one would’ve noticed
Cause it doesn’t make any fucking difference what piece you take off
i mean unlike some specs sin doesn't actually care to stack a stat
As long as the text on your tier lights up
so which offpiece we have is more reliant on jewelry stats than anything else
Doesn’t even matter for that
You can fix 95% of stat imbalances just by slotting different gems and enchants on
im sure if you had full on one stat stack jewelry some tier pieces would sim like 0.2% lower
Well if i had more legs tier i probably woulda use it. But never got one actually xD
imagine like outlaw jewelry or something, 90% vers on all of it, legs would be a slight downgrade to running an offpiece and the other 4 tier items
issue is we have specs like fucking havoc and balance hardstacking one stat to like 7-9k
so the whole off-piece thing is relevant for them
Or UH
It’s actually so dystopian to still have bis lists in 2023
And the only reason we do
Is because people keep googling “best gear assa rouge wow”
Drooling on their keyboards
Is for average ppl like me
I mean if we take a step back
can we acknowledge how nerdy it is that we run simulations for video game character gear
Only reason I use it is to prove to my loot council that I need loot -_-
Best is still using droptimiser
Google pushes my guide into like 5th on the search results
And wowhead loses money
So can’t have that
Need to have a table of best gear
And the title of the table needs to be SEO friendly
And say “best assassination rogue gear for 10.2”
So what you're saying is
Because that’s what makes it show on Google
can you make clickbait video titles next?
Bis lists is just an SEO strat
Yes
I’ve fought to have them removed
Multiple times
And I got insta shot down
Because it would be silly to do that
Cause we would lose clicks
And losing clicks means losing money
And that’s not acceptable
Thank you for your service 🫡
intellectual integrity <<<< Dat $$$
Anyone who thinks I put any amount of effort into those lists is out of their god damn minds
My boss knows how I feel
He knows just as well as I do that bis lists are noob bait for the search engine algorithm
But if we use your list to get a overall feeling and then use droptimiser, it's fine no? xD
Whispry sandbagging people's chars confirmed
Clipped and shipped
Everyone knows it
It’s not some hidden secret in the depths of an ancient Aztec temple
All the sites put SEO friendly words into their guides
Because they have to in order to be relevant
Droptimizer will still sim based on your current gear, once you get a piece you might still sim again and be told to change gems and enchants
Do you think Noxxic has survived this long putting out good quality info for the community?
Fuck no
Glad i have premium on that xD
Currently Sub, want to switch to something with fewer things to track, would Sin be better?
There's an insane amount of variables and variations that can lead to similar results
Noxxic has survived because it has graphics made to be interpreted by a 3 year old and they smash search engine terms onto every webpage like their trying to stuff a turkey
It’s like a big neon sign for googles algorithm that says “THIS IS CLICKS”
Same shit with wowmeta
Absolutely insane webpage
No information of value to be found
Just shiny graph and cocaine for the algorithm
noxxic is lit
i love how it's super wrong
like icy veins and wowhead are generally correct and try to stay up to date
noxxic is just based
That’s the best part, they save money by not hiring any writers. I’ve been heading the rogue community for years, I haven’t even in passing heard of something that knows someone at noxxic
question is: Just who is writing noxxic
AI at this point honestly
It doesn’t matter what they write
ChatGPT could write their guides for them
And it wouldn’t matter one bit
It’s still just algorithm fodder
Noxxic stat prio for Sin;

looks lit, very nice for other 2 specs too 🙂
Yeah but see, you clicked on the link
It’s already over
You fueled the machine
I am so sorry 😔
And as long as people keep clicking, and people keep searching braindead terms like “best gear assa rogue” or “talents rogue 10.2” instead of just navigating to guides written by humans
Those fucking AI farms keep getting money
And keep getting clicks
And keep getting recommended
the second search term is fine tbh, it returns wowhead iirc
Maybe for you lmao
though i normally write spec name
general "rogue" is a bit spooky
ayo its actually good
If you’re here, you’re probably already not getting recommended the garbage pages
all links are good
It’s the people that aren’t here that I’m scared for
They open wowmeta or Noxxic one two three too many times
And now Google knows them
And keeps shoving it down their throat
is noxxic toxxic?
To be fair I don't even open icy veins, I'm a wowhead addict
Icy veins is strange sometimes
Sometimes is putting it lightly imo
The sub section told me to use Shadowdust, so I moved here to the Sin section. I feel safe here, it's home
Anyway, 3am rant over, I’m so tired I just wanted to write guides with good info that people could use to improve and now I’m a cog in the search engine machine and it’s fucking depression
a good looking cog 😉
Thank you
I actually really enjoy your guides. you get straight to the point
and its not overwhelming
fyrakk H dead on my screen
Gz
whispyr how could you lie
GG
I swear sub is slower
fyrakk actually easier than smolderon on H
memes aside idk if it's lower apm than sin or not
but sin's downtime is predictable and crontrolled
Its not
subs is uh
Oh btw. I was wondering. Outside burst (1 or 2min), do we have to keep our energy above half to proc sanguine blade in ST? Or it's fine not to ?
play for tier set if you have 4pc
!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
yea i mean while doing that
Read above

It covers pretty much all scenarios
both specs out here with the downtime
Yea i'm reading xD
And when u have to reapply rupture i then wait till i'm around 80% to start an other chain?
I wish I could get straighter to the point and cut the 25 different pages to like 4 and reorganize it and delete half of the stuff that gets repeated over and over. Having to hunt down the stat recommendations across the entire site is a nightmare every time. Or like if there’s a new talent that gets played, have to update it in like 6 different places. Just for the headers. The tier set page is especially bad about it, it’s just nonstop SEO headers. Or like an entire page dedicated to stats, but it just exists to pop up when people type “assassination stats”. And the pawn string stuff is there for SEO and then I need to spend like 3 paragraphs saying DONT USE THIS THING THATS IN THE GUIDE I WROTE
Sub has more Off gcds
Which is just
So fucking insane
I can talk shit about the things in my own guide and advise not doing the stuff that’s in there
Because the body of the page isn’t SEO
idk why i dont consider shadow dance / SoD actions even if they are
As long as the headers and the titles match up
It’s all good
So I can have the most clickbait titles and headers
you gotta treat everyone like a child, it gets annoying haha
Ive been trying to learn outlaw and so far im shit at it lol
And then just go “none of that makes any sense here’s the actual thing”
Fucking crazy
I wonder what age someone would have to be to understand whispyr's guide
and play sin to an acceptable level in mythic raid
im guessing around 9-10
I'm too stupid to understand, that's why i ask so many questions here 😄
Have you seen these children playing Fortnite?
They’re cracked
Nah I mean the stupid thing would be not to ask at all
Sin feels liek the easiest spec so far
thing is kids are mechanically nuts, but idk about understanding rotational prios
since it's not intuitive like aim crosshairs at head
I would think if you made a weakaura that flashes
You could train pattern recognition to like a 6 year old
And they’d be good enough
I reckon you could probably train a 6 year old to play bm well
Wym, I just shove daggers in Tswift's shiny boomkin ass and he dies
since its actually just hit everything on cd
Yeah
Could do “press glowy button” for a lot of specs
I feel like you could make a WA for outlaw where it just tells you what button to press next
ayo this is sounding like putting a kid on outlaw with hekili
since its rules are pretty black and white
The one glowing
Put a kid on ret with hekili
Now we’re getting somewhere
He would be better than me don't do that
Host a tournament of 5 year olds on a training dummy
Whoever does the most dps
Gets an invite to heroic
ret actually comfiest spec ingame to play
Im legit tempted to short term turn on hekili for outlaw. I feel like I could build a bit of muscle memory and turn it off after
It's... So boring though...
long arms and like all the spells are 20, you're impossible to die on
any leatherworking crafte on magtheridon?
atleast bm can die
Not for a 5 year old!
homie can you imagine the kids face when they press wings and wake of ashes
they'll feel like the coolest fkin bionicle warlord
Yeah I mean I wasn't commenting specifically about the 5y old perspective! I concede on that point ~
Ye I tried to get my brother into league when he was 10
He got iron 3
He was cracked at fortnite and fps games mechanically but any knowledge or strategy based game he was bad at, and he's a smart kid
@balmy condor we both make ret pals and see who has a manic episode first 
If ret wasn't almost as ignored as windwalker I would play it
It's a fun rotation, same as ww
Double it and give it to the next person

But I learned it's better to not play dev ignored specs if you wanna keep your sanity
Nice dodge
Fun being very subjective here
Why can’t we get light up wing smh
Yeah, and maybe like, a big glowy circle we have to place down every 10 seconds, and like if we don't stand in it we don't do any damage
Yeah I know that's prot, not ret, but w/e I have issues with consecration
Low-key I blame attention spans going to 0 cuz TikTok etc
This idea that a video needs someone in the background playing a game to keep your attention is wild
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i'm gonna ask what you mean by that, and why you'd need to know if it's what i think you mean
as in defaulting to targets that don't already have the debuff
how do i get power of decay on that?
as compared to targets that may have it already
in that case, i ask, why would you need it to do that
you mean for the toxic armor patch? need to recraft it and replace the silken lining with it
i don't know the answer, but i also dont see a situation where smart targetting existing or not plays a difference
if i do that, can i use toxic thornwrap and ring enchantment at the same time?
maybe there's no application for it right now but i'd still be interested in nuances and interactions like that
what is your ring enchantment? you can only equip two of anything that adds the [Emblishment] trait thing
lining, toxic boots, and patch all count as an emblishment. not all 3 can co exist
as equipped*
Ur windows is not activated ???
Same here lol
i might be being really dumb here but im watching kushe's stream and he has vendetta on his CD weak-aura.. I can't find vendetta anywhere
Assa doesn't care that much about stats right? So if I play outlaw in m+ and assa in raid would it be smartest just to gear for outlaw?
!dagger
depends what you care more about
assa in full outlaw gear is only 2% less dps than full assa gear
iirc
assuming u have correct trinkets and weaps
but i would try to put ur vers heavy pieces on rings/necks u can swap out
Alright
do we use crimsom tempest in st with the bleed build?
you dont use CT in singletarget ever
jesus christ yes thank you
But then you have the vers to survive shit 🙂
what spec are you guys playing in m+ this week?
Is it worth using in funnel situations from a certain target count (3rd boss dht)
In terms of ethical boss dps
Not padding
with nerfs coming is damage bad enough to jump ship to other specs?
yeah play bm
ye, but thats not ST
i already jump ship on half bosses before the nerf
how so
Oh noo the other spec does 2% better dps than meeeee oh noooo
I gotta swap play suboptimally and actually lose dps
Simply the only choice Varas
you can swap without playing suboptimally you know
Going to force tryan to play outlaw
and it lets you give PI to other classes which is a decently big raid dps gain as well
Sure but the people who can actually do that won't come in here asking about it
i know im just asking outside of that question
always wondered what target count made it worth to use it
read what CT does
😄
ye it increases up till 5 targets thats why im asking
because i doubt its worth on 2
Like this?
It's in every guide tbf
the funnel part specifically isnt
No, but there are also not really any times where u want to funnel rather than just kill shit this season, besides maybe first boss everbloom
I asked about it a couple weeks ago, and Whispyr didn't know, which means there probably hasn't been a reason to Sim it considering 4pc/envenom is strong enough until 4 targets in itself
yeah thats why only example i could think of was 3rd boss dht
Tried some weird business with rupturing those mobs and then knocking them away so i got more agil on boss
They still died too fast though
Wtf
BRUH 
Rupturing mobs with 1mil hp
Whispyr said rupturing was worth, but idk if it was only with IC or not
If u losing uptime and shit knocking things it definitely isn't
But on everbloom 1st for example
Those mobs die instantly from your dmg alone not looking at the other 4 people
Some cursed ass shit
3am brain activity leads to some genius and not so genius ideas
this was the latter
but yknow
gotta keep cooking to make the perfect dish
We’re all here to get better bro 😉 not for being toxic. I’m sure u will ❤️
I know u weren’t, not talking about u
I mean if they can live during a bloodlust CD or execute then it's probably kinda big
speaking of perfect dish
DN?
have you been introduced to our lord and savior
grilled cheese with mayo on the inside and butter on the outside
what did u just realize
that my sandwich is gods gift to this planet?
What you would say
lmfao
🤮

Do i refresh rupture during KB if its gonna fall off?
ye
Sub Rouge > Sin after nerfs?
Prolly on some fights, but just on the fights, where it already were better
So u know
how much is the boe myth crit ring on your realms with a socket? for mine it's 3.9m
around 3% i would say
This made me laugh pretty good
“To off topic I go”
Decently close to 3%
Already here
Same
It isn't even better than 476 socketed for me
Because I got big crit
!Atro

!atro

what the fuck are you even trying to find
There is a sheet that shows what feint and atrophic works on
And it's usually that command

It's very nice
it is, i just forgot to promot it more
Hello guys i am brand new to playing rogue and assas but really enjoying it. Just had a few questions: What poisons should i be using for m+ and for raid?
amp (if specced into it) > deadly > instant
if you're playing dragon tempered you're playing amp + deadly
like 99.9% of the time
ok for m+ im not playing it
then you'd just use deadly
I'd recommend deadly + numbing for m+ personally
Just don't ever take amp and not dtb
also @blazing jewel ur cute
what does dtb stand for please?
dragon tempered blades
its the capstone talent at the middle of the bottom row for assa
Dragon tempered baddies
Dragon deez nuts
Not agree
lets you put on 2 non lethal (numbing/atrophic + crippling) and 2 lethals (amp + deadly)
I go amp
I feel I can do better
I don’t know, tried with and without and I’m around 220 k with amp and 190 without (m+)
Why? Dunno
But don't u need deadly to activate caustic?
Also even if it did there is just no way a dot in aoe < legit nothing is better
Idk if this is just a classic blizz tooltip
Ye but maybe sometimes most of pulls u have to focus on big guy
I don’t know mate I’m not s theorycrafter, just sharing my experience
Am I bad? Could be
I am not saying your experience is wrong, just didn't want u to disagree with no reason
Show a pic that will help out more with overall hovered over
But anyways 99% of people are playing dtb in high keys
i feel like caustic tooltip should say "lethal poison" instead of deadly poison
Yes
since it works with both amp and deadly
Reason is that I testes like 3-4 builds and for me worked rly well
Wait I’m geting confused

My bad

HAHAHA
It's ok
Of course u’re right, how would u amp without dtb nonsense, uncan’t put it in
Yay totally 😂 I think spamming eb is making me crazy
Been there done that
jokes on you, I'm just stupid
Whats most important? Staying above 50% energy or making sure envenom hits during envenom for 4 set?
I know 
4set
