Is it better to ct 5/7 targets a finisher early or ct 7/7 2 globals later
I thought we ct once we can hit stuff
Might be wrong
Even in single target, let's say you have a boss and then 3 trash adds you legit don't care about, I think it's worth to CT
Because dmg amp makes it higher than rupture on a single target
You might not want to reapply the CT once the 2 targets join the battle a few seconds later
and just reapply CT whenever it's in pandemic as you normally would
but if you have 4+ targets, it's worth it
I use that rule for new adds too
4+ new add? Apply it early again
2 adds run in? Wait for pandemic
240ish I guess
minimum energy for tea usage?
as high as possible without messing up your Envenom chains or pandemic bleeds
im waiting 100
you always want to get 100 energy from tea
except the first tea that you use together with KB
Just use tea whenever KB has less than 6s remaining and you're chilling
you should be spamming buttons during KB windows anyways so that'll be as low as your energy will go
And the 2 charges that you have outside of KB just use for energy
Yes
save 1 tea for burst
Yes
otherwise if chain brokes use at 100 energy
No
@limber lion ngl guide kinda places it low
Without tea pool until 240ish
Compared to its real value
My guy literally please read the conversation before you comment my guy
I jsut sent you like 5 sims that show you that CT is better than Rupture
And the guide might be slightly outdated
Yes, and we’ve been informed by this
and the guide writer himself has said that it's possible that CT earlier is better than Ruptures
It does
.
We've known this for a while
and I did these sims today
Question would be what changed since initial sims for the guide
I can assure you that the guide will be updated soon once we're done with the sims
Well Kingsbane for one does 15% less damage
so that's less value on Spatter
Thing is ct would generally be replacing a rupture cast, either the second or third
That is true
By using CT as the first finisher, it delays the entire Spatter chain that happens after
but it's showing up as a gain to do so
idk what to tell you other than the 5 sims I've sent
If you have ideas for what fight lengths/target counts or whatever you want the sims for, let me know and I'll try to sim em
If packs don't live long enough you skip snd, skip one rupture, or skip the envenom before dm probably
Maybe multiple of those
But so far I've tested everything from 4targets 20s to 8 targets 5 minutes
and CT first is always a gain
I'm curious at 20s it's probably skip envenom, skip snd, one rupture only for caustic, and dm right after
Well without changing any other priority in the list
the sim currently does
CT first
then straight into Deathmark/KB window
Then Envenom during it
I mean shit
no
It depends on the fight length, but on shorter fights it prios Envenom over Rupture and Slice
to get the cds up and running asap
Yeah but you want 1 rupture minimum to proc caustic
Unless it applies it midway through dm?
on longer fights it takes its time to get 1 Rupture up first, then Slice, then secondary Ruptures
Then goes into CDS with Envenom
Only caustic the last half?
So on longer fights it does CT Rup Slice Rup Rup Envenom
On shorter fights it does CT Envenom Rup Slice
Yeah so basically anything that is like 30s+ or more it does the first one
Because it has time to get everything up before going into cds
but on shorter fights it just does an accelerated version where it does rupture during the dm window
and slice during it
but again that's for the very first pack of a mythic+ dungeon anyways
I'm guessing for 20s, 5t opener it's probably like gar gar CT, deathmark shiv KB gar envenom, gar fok rupture, mut mut envenom, mut mut ct
gets much easier when you have slice up already
Yeah
Honestly
Thinking about it, the sim isn't optimized for very short encounters
Like in a normal mythic+ encounter if you have slice up and like 5cp ready, you would probably just do CT first
followed by Deathmark Shiv Dance KB Gar
Envenom
Gar
And just get your Garrotes up during the dance window
Ye but I tend to do opener garrotes just to silence and group stuff anyway
But that definitely sounds like the play if dh leads with sigil of silence or something
Which they often do
It does
It’s just more dmg per global
Currently in the sims SD doesn't work at all
I'm pretty sure it would push the build quite a bit higher and would show even bigger gains for stuff like this
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dbV9WiSgfNLQGppumdLtWi I started playing this build rather than cleave in high tyrannical or keys where I need st like rise/fall
Which is basically just cleave build but keep ct
People heavily underrate it
It sims higher overall than hybrid as well
Dtb no amp seems sus
wouldn't that APL be not sending CT early?
Your tier set and regular poison proc dmg is the same
You don't care much about envenom dmg except on single target
So it's reasonable for keys
I would really like a good approximation of SD value in sims but it's hard
why is that hard/not functioning atm?
Because enemies don't have health in sims generally
it can't apply stealth bonuses for 6 seconds to you?
They just die at set times
ah
Well they have health for purposes of execute dmg
and reach execute hp at set times also I suppose?
Yes they linearly decrease in health
Yeah it's just tied to time
I think implementing it is difficult, idk if mdt sims would have it working
Despite their issues this might be a case where they could help
wut
If it’s more an issue with implementation in general nothing, if it’s a matter of needing mobs with Hp then maybe it woulda helped
Then again dslice has dying mobs so nvm
Wut
MDT sims are literally nothing but custom routes for sims
they do not implement anythign to the sim
@limber lion should i CT more often or only when is about to expire
It's just a line that says how many mobs are in the first encountera
and how many are in the next one
and so on
that's all
MDT sim is basically just stringing together a bunch of multi target patchwerk sims no
MDT sims has nothing to do with actual simming
Yes
You maintain CT at all times in 4+ targets, do not spam it
I still feel like Feral flows a bit better
I played feral from like 2005 till DF
I think it comes from the reactive proc elements of the spec
I don't like the way it feels anymore
so should i go with this talents on that rotation for aoe
atleast in ST
which we don't have at all
in AoE it feels fine
yeah looks fine
is something that i could change
to look better?
or depends on my rotation
But I totally see your point
I feel like they've overdone it a bit with the reactive proc elements
Yeah I like it in AoE for sure. Getting to AoE bite with free procs to maintain Sabertooth that increases our dot damage for a duration afterwards and so on
becomes a bit too spammy for my liking
it all just flows so well
but yeah it does
You do direct damage to all targets around you
which in turn buffs the dot damage
it's great
Nah looks good
and for st what am i doing wrong
i garrote ambush rupture
at the beggining
then caustic shiv deathmark branch shadow dance and kings
Like I said
You should probably read a guide or check out Whispyr's videos
You need to have Envenom up before you start sending cds
for one
the opener and prio sections of wowhead are pretty easy to follow imo
Yeh Whispyr made a sexy job there
Same
Actually from 2005 to DF lol
every guide i tried to follow i end up doing bad dps =)))
english is not my 1st language
i tried a rotation similar from legion now
Why??????????
Literally just read a guide and follow it
Why are you trying to figure out a rotation by yourself
This is literally the entire single target rotation section
This is literally all you need to know and do
Outside of this you just maintain Rupture and Garrote and pool and that's it.

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
i do that
rotation
i do i think about exactly
but at some point i remained without energy
and i tea
but i didn't used shiv tea
till now
i'll do a fall 19 and share the logs eventually
I have a quick question about the rotation, do we use first shiv before the kingsbane to prevent the little gap due to global cd if we used the shiv after the kingsbane right? So the debuff can be stay longer on the kingbane duration I guess
If you use it before KB, you ensure 100% uptime on Shiv during KB
If you use it after KB, it's not 100% uptime
So yes
does KB tick immediately upon casting or only after 2s?
As in initial damage portion + first tick, or just initial?
thank you so much♥️
!up
Just initial
So yeah technically you want Shiv to buff up the initial damage and not really the tick portion of it
this is WM 18 im drunk and i already know i messed up a lot but i tried to use CT frist before rupture
the initial damage is kinda huge
Looks better, Spatter and KB should be higher but otherwise looks ok
how many marks of honor are gained after a pvp match on average?
it is 139k overall..
there are so many variables
comparing numbers like this is futile
Tyra, low key level, dungeon differences, comp differences (ret/bm/havoc)
all these things combined make for a not so nice experience on assa
Certainly one where it's impossible to gauge performance just on numbers alone
Yeah numbers don't say much
deathmark incident 
Stick to what you know you should be doing in what order/priority and judge yourself based on whether or not you're accurately following the prio
Even though that might be difficult
Your overall will look a lot higher in Everbloom compared to something like Fall
Who thought it was a good idea to have 80% of the trash be non elites with no hp, and 15% teleport away and become unhittable without acrobatic

super fun
rise is even worse
all I want for christmas is baseline acrobatic strikes
is there any recommended youtube channel that occasionally upload m+ videos?
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED
because i don't know
whispyr has a channel though, he makes some pretty solid guides on how aoe and st works, and the why's
You know what my favorite thing abotu farming fall is
Getting every single piece of loot on the loot table but dagger or trinket
regularly
!oh
Mutilate requires a dagger in both hands, this makes using a non dagger weapons undesirable.
Zerocool

Lmfaoooo yes. I love (hate) that.
You just need to farm it more🥳
Just get invited lol
When you're running falls for the dagger and you get into a group that takes forever to start... turns out they have a rise
You don't wanna leave cus it's a dick move
AND you're basically boosting a 460 guy through a 20
Karma got my back though, next fall gave me the dagger
first thing when joining a fall/rise is that i type /key in chat
to check their key
xD
Thats where u leave and tell him dont list an 18 fall next time 
oooooh
because if theyre not paying attention you don't find out till its started huh
that's a rough one
💤
You want to see something sad
What happened in a 20 BRH
what
This but I got my second dagger out of being patient
Is envenom pandemic timer under 1s or 2s?
It's 30% of the applied duration
So if 4cp is 4s, it's 30% of that
1.2s is the lowest, 1.5s is 5cp
So if you pandemic a 6cp envenom that was 8s it's 2.4s?
Picked up assa rogue as an alt. Feeling quite energy starved during boss encounters. Bursting is fine and I think my opener and such is fine, but I feel like I'm losing DPS 'cuz of the energy. I mean, feels like Im doing something wrong.. 😛
my character.
Do you pool?
Pool? I'm putting up my dots, casting deathmark and then entering kingsbane, during these cooldowns Im also using a tea. When the cooldowns are down Im just mutilate and refreshing garrote and rupture then keeping the 4set active by using envenom.
Should I stop doing anything for sometime to get more than 50% energy or?
You slamdance on your buttons during kb windows, but then you just refresh dots and envenom during pandemic only, unless you have too much energy
Do you just refresh envenom regardless of it's timer?
That's why you're energy starved
Yep
oh, so you want to envenom when the timer is about to fall off?
Outside KB window, yeah
only be refreshing debuffs
from my understanding, i am literally learning how to do this now myself, havent touched Assa for like 2 xpacs
it looks complicated, but its just because of how many buttons there are
@north flax If at any point you drop envenom buff, you pool your energy to around 80% and start new envenom chain then
do you use your pot on pull, or when you go to enter KB?
when I enter KB
Fair enough, ty 🙂
It's prob a good idea for you to watch Whispyr's video about Pooling and KB windows
They will explain everything you need to know
where can I find them? 😄
Youtube
hey long time feral just messing around with assas do I just keep up envenom debuff in between kingsbane windows
feels like I do negative dps outside of cds
Keep up DoTs, keep up envenom buff for your 4p

gz
should KB be the top dmg ability in pulls?
In raid?
"in pulls"
boss
that's not what a pull means
in a boss fight, KB should be top ability right?
No, envenom+tier
you can always just run a quick sim to see the damage breakdown
that should g ive you a rough estimate of what your breakdown should look like
ok thanks
i dont even have full set yet, im finishing this raid so i dont waste charges
so im just trying to know in advance

but also I feel like this information isn't really important , better to go over what the priority is and just work up to executing that properly step by step
while you slowly improve (read: develop muscle memory)
why is there so many rogues using ashes over branch when branch sims higher? is branch just sim bait or what
collecting orbs annoying
orb trinket 🤮
comfort over sim dps
makes sense, thanks

!pandemic - the previous envenom’s CP are irrelevant, all that matters is A) current CP and B) current duration on the buff. My envenom bar has an option to move the pandemic tick to true pandemic as CP move, can find in LE’s profile. If you are asking because you’re making an aura, and you are making an icon aura with a glow instead of a tick mark , you’d need to use conditions with a 6-part “Any of” set for each CP.
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

Nah, not making/using anything. Just want to know the best time to refresh, so it's either 1.2s/1.5s/2s depending on which CP you landed before. Thanks :)
1.8 is the max carry over (6 * 0.3) for Envenom, unless you are using TTK.
(Which makes it 2.4)
But yes, shifts around based on CP you land on
Congrats
3,3k rio certified menace now 
Mean while
My pug healers for my surv hunt
Cant even heal 2nd and 3 rd Boss in fall
In 18
18s are rough
Even tho 20
well it depends sometimes you just find crest farmers
and it's fine
but like
keys down in gen pop
are way harder
than like 22-24

That avoker
Had 2.7j
so he's not gonna do any damage
Rii


idk how much damage undergeared demo locksa re supposed to do
I'm an aff enjoyer
so we never do damage
with or without gear

Demo can easily do 250-300k with that gear if tank does the proper brh pulls
aug woofer aswell though
made a prot pala alt last few days
Rogue i usually compete with for score rerolled
Gotta assert dominance (most likely failing miserably because i suck at tanking)

!spreadsheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I have a Cook okay hear me out. during stealth and a few secs after Crimson tempest just also applies rupture and garrote 🙂
it's okay im not a rogue main I just hate going into a pack and having to press bleeds over and over
then don't play the spec where the core rotation is pressing bleeds over and over?
just for it to die b4 I can actually start pressing stuff 😦
I really enjoy the shadow dance kingsbane windows and such
then play the cleave build and do that instead of multidotting all the time
perhaps ill look into it
You guys still going to run the cleave build for fort weeks on 23+?
Probably depends on the key for me. Important lieutenants like Fall and Rise? Cleave probably. Big gauntlet pulls like Throne and BRH? Maybe I play something with CT.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
I had some thing to say but accidentally posted a recipe instead
Fuck lol
Ironically the message had the word cook in it
for me there's only the cleave build, no reason to ever play anything else
Can you share the cleave build :)?
It's just the raid build but you drop dashing scoundrel for IC
ahhhh roger

why is nick of time bis for offhand?
same stats as a normal dagger would be, but with extra timestrike
Imagine geting a branch after 48 runs in the season

There is people with 2 dagger from vault im sure
Of course there are 😄
I mean 😂😂 of course there are
should i be avoiding putting between the eyes on cd by using it out of stealth? the wow head guide says it can be used out of stealth but thats a long ass cd
Wrong channel I think
sry
❤️
is dungeon slice on raidbots accurate for assa?
yes
I mean accurate is a bit of a vague term
But it functions, which I assume you mean
Since it doesn't at all for some specs
dungeonslice is accurate for assassination as a synthetic situation
dungeonslice is not accurate to an actual dungeon

explaining the same thing 357 thousand times
you eventually learn how to express the concept


gz
Fake
thanks
You’re fake
Nah I’m real bozo
noob question for spiteful week as assa (my first time) since you can't restealth for garrote/rupture spreading should i use SD/Vanish as ways to restealth at the start of packs instead of the usual way?
I guess its better to just go into pack straight with cds
and just pray for caustic to do some heavy lifting w/ 4p?
That's what i do
Yeah
There’s nuance to the answer but the short answer is yeah
thank you !
yeah i feel there's a lot to learn but it's my second day on the class fishdjdh starting small
Respec to outlaw, live by blade flurry 
assa is litearlly only garrote dmg, cus carnage can be used with dance/vanish anyway
and garrote is not 99% of your aoe dmg like people always act it is lol
We’re capped and we lose precise cuts value
I’d say it cuts real dps quite alot from outlaw
False
Outlaw loses more
Outlaw was already worse during spiteful before the rework, and it didnt change since then
^
Now restealth is like
30% of our dmg (counting the lose dps from spiteful too)
Just a wild guess
From a single pack
But the longer the pack lives the lower this value is ofcourse
for assa its a bit annoying cus it slows your aoe down a bit
outlaw actually loses dmg
and its like that for a LONG time now lol
like, years at this point
yet people always act as if outlaw needs 0stealth, and that assa/sub do no dmg without it lol
Mfs cope
meanwhile sub could have its stealth button removed and nothing would change lmao
spitefull is litearlly positive for sub
like, a giga aoe dps gain
i was actually thinking about trying sub HAHA but having a good time on assa so 🏃🏃

I had brainlag and I shadowstepped the second eon shatter circle on top of the first one on first boss in fall
heal check
nah the second circle made it so that the soak couldn't be soaked, basically unhealable
I found my damage overall to be a bit lower with it on tryan weeks, and feeling it’ll be even worse on fort weeks
but it's much more enjoyable on boss fights 🙂
My healer friend screams at me if I insta cloak that off haha. That fight is scuffed
That checks out considering you don’t play cleave for overall damage
yeah lol
Yeah I used to have step be mouseover and on mythic rashok I got the slam circle and tried to step someone near the orb but they moved as I pressed So I ended up stepping the boss and wiping the raid.

It’s like when you step too early with the big circle on fall first boss and you put them on top of each other 
That's what I did
That's what sparked the conversation


Yeah, SCANA
We all share a singular brain cell
it took less than 3 seconds for the group to fall apart
even though we probably had like 15 minutes of leeway
people were HELLA mad
I was on the phone during one of our heroic splits for fyrakk and pseudo not playing because I was just using my mouse
It gave me the fire circle and I may or may not have accidentally set the tree on fire
Technology makes one ignorant to the destruction of nature
Maybe the tree shouldnt have its roots right fucking there 
Maybe it deserved to burn
Real and true
Not wrong
Bad city planning
These nightelves are fucking stupid ngl
btw what is this FALL dragon skip distract tech
Anyone got a TLDR?
something about distracting on the floor while its still in midair?
Basically even though it has true sight if you shroud and distract it to the left while hugging right you can skip
What I heard was that you need to do it while its still flying and itl turn around
so it's that simple huh
ok cool
I think it’s easier if you distract it before it fully lands but you can skip it either way
Yeah that's the bit I wanted to know, like how exactly do I approach that situation
how what where
I feel like it's safer to just do the stack and run?
Nothing really stops you from doing both
Shroud will be up to skip the hallway at the end regardless
You always get one slow person a second behind everyone. I just distract for safety, just before it lands. Even if people "aggro" it or hit it, if its distracted it'll reset
Nah people can't do this
Pressing W or holding l/r click at the same time or within 0.2s of someone else is like an impossible feat
idk how
ive stacked and ive had people get stuck behind. Might as well just kill it
Oh I nailed it first try
I distracted it mid air
It stayed in mid air for a second and then flew away
Everyone in the party passed
healer came 10 seconds later and ran straight into it
I get blamed

You did your part. Clearly other people went through and were fine
Anyone who lags behind is screwed

hey guys maybe a stupid question but how you play your cds on last boss fall and everbloom ?
so we dont hold cds for the second phase where he is spamming his aoe?
sorry, that's what I mean by execute yes
ah okay thank you
you basically have to feel out your groups ST damage and decide if you have to hold at some point
Servers up
Ok so i have a sandglass and branch
just pulled embers out of the vault didnt take it yet
worth sniping or should i fish for signet
Nice i got one of the crit rings
hey, if i apply deathmark to my opponent during opener, does existing rapture get amplified or do i need to apply a new one for it to count towards the deathmark effect?
Any bleeds/poisons will be duplicated once you hit DM
Hey guys, is Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows any good for assassination ?
is the raidbots single targt sim accurate? says im suppose to hit 109k dps on single target, yet over and over on dummies and M+ bosses i only get to 79-82k, but peak dps at 178k after cooldowns
i got a myth track auguary for socket again and i wanna take auguary for memes in keys :/
Yes. You're missing a shitton of buffs on a dummy, ones that you probably have enabled in the sims (they are by default)
Also consider the possibility that you might not be playing flawlessly
energy management is such a huge pain for me, i also am missing 4 piece, any suggestions? i appreciate your time in replying

its not amazing, it doesn't line up with our Cd's very well
I'd sim it tho
You basically just get the opener under control, and from that point onwards it's just repeating the KB rotation every minute + doing what the !pooling command just listed
Thanks my dude
np
Make sure your kingsbane rotation is good:
100% uptime on shiv (1 gcd before and immediately when it expires)
thistle tea during last 6 (not 6.5) better to do it at like 5 or 5.5 than 6.5
vanish during last 3, same as thistle, don't cast above 3
Since you did mention M+, leave out vanish during KB there so you can utilise it for when you need carnage
thank you so very much!
Ouroboreal neck isn't anything special for Sin right? I know it's rare but is the fire shield worth dropping for bad stats? (have a M one in my vault).
My other option is leech on Heroic Tier shoulders 👀
sim it
bad stats is so misleading
just sim, don't think about stats

the leech doesnt dip into the secondary budget right?
I'm more wondering about the shield than the stats, as i already have a beauty neck
Good pant
100k shield every min seems incredibly mid but we are doing Mythic prog? I should find some rog healing logs i guess
Yeah I'm unsure atm how that would translate to actual value on twsift or fyrakk
Wdym by this ?
Those legs come with leech by default
Some items have tertiary / wierd stats / procs but give up secondary stats to balance them out
same amount of secondaries as regular pant, yeah
I'm wondering if it's a freebie or if it cuts into the secondary budget
That's pretty juicy then
blizzard loves kiss curse
this is just kisses


Stuff like leech and avoidance don’t really cut into secondary stats
.
You're arguing tertiary procs
completely unrelated
If you catalyse those legs the leech doesn't carry over because of that also
It's a frequent question in leather discords
TFW you find that out for the first time
Leather discords

Good to know
speaking of tertiaries
I haven't had a double or triple tertiary stat proc drop (not including socket) since SL S4
Or maybe that was an item that had it at base and I'm capping

The best part about looting branch from EB was telling the havoc DH who whispered me if I needed that I did infact need it

After all my rogue gearing and keys i started gearing tank alt
Every assa rogue i invite
Is utter dogshit
Even in like 22-23s
wait so you've been inviting me?
on a 22 halfway through fall
Ignore the dh bum the nerf critted
Like idk man, people play it in raid ig and then go do keys and have no clue what they’re doing
Yeah it's basically braindead spec in ST
and then suddenly one of the harder specs in the game in aoe
I think it is
I play ret, demo, destro, affli, balance, feral, assa, sub, combat, ele, shadow, uh
assa is by far the most complicated of all of the above
why is Sin spec keep moving down the rakings on subcreation? i think its great and its nice to not have to rely on outlaws RNG why is everyone so fanboy about outlaw these days
(harder/hardest doesn't mean hard)
Does anyone know if there is a higher chance to get Nick of Time with sub spec or assassin spec?
just look at the amount of items in the table in journal for both specs and pick the one that has less (they should be equal afaik)
Other than size of the pool I don't think there are hidden spec based modifiers
That can't be right...
Assassination has some hidden modifier to make cloaks show up more often I'm pretty sure.
Nah that’s just your bad luck

playing with DH is super fun
I'd rather brick my key than have a DH in the group smh
Half of their damage is pad damage on irrelevant adds that die right away
our prio damage is what makes the key go smoothly
surely the group understands this and respects how much smoother it made the key
100% true and based and real

For some reason our caustic spatter damage, which is just pad damage onto irrelevent adds gets us nerfed
but DH doing 5x more pad damage is no problem.
I highkey doubt that they nerfed Assa cause of Caustic padding
I’ve always heard locks and others cry “delete PI so we can be properly balanced and not unfairly nerfed” and thought gg noob cry more
Nerfs were definitely becuase of how strong assa was in raid
How do you people believe assa was nerfed cause of PI's existance

Because the only alternative is that assa was nerfed because Chris Metzen hates us
As he should
@desert inlet 
Yeah I have to queue as outlaw
Switch to assa when I enter key after ready check
People clowning on assa when it good af if played well
It's part of proper rogue rp to be sneaky like that, you're just living in the class fantasy
surely
I have 3.2k Rio and I still get denied in 18 playing assa o\
keys in Ret vs Assa 
Honestly, gabagool spec
Bleed bleed bleed envenom
I like cold cuts
Cold cut this pal 
idk it should be easy, but i struggle
and then i go on my Ret alt and just press my 4 buttons and hav fun 
I’m a one trick so ofc I’d think it’s easy
He legit plays all his toons with macros
Difficulty subjective
2 key hunter as well lol
does he top meters or something?
We did it boys
I don't see a single cloak, you must have been in sub spec
Ur so thicc
Yeah you literally don't have to think about anything on ret 
massive gz
Yugeee 
First one I've seen since run 9 week 1
coz realistically sin did what it did by getting PI's
Sin does what it does by having good cd timings and burst
caustic as a one talent cleave
PI helps but its just a symptom
And they don't nerf based on externals
technically they do
ye i kinda doubt that
ret gets nerfed (or not buffed) because instruments of retribution exists, which gives you wings when someone else dies
that's sort of an external :p
Yeah but that’s not really an external.
Because it’s something the Ret does to itself
You could give me the argument of WFT being an external
good thing i didnt waste my time doing all 8 keys last week https://gyazo.com/f20992985dc0e592097edafa9f35d074 it was destined to be in #2 slot
I'm just joking anyway
Ur good
ild chop them into bacon if i had to,lmao
ikr

Rashok is the only boss in 3 tiers that i've ever done dmg on
because entire raid was always dead before me
i was also mostly joking too. i dont really think PI got us nerfed, I just wanted to do the bit of making fun of crying warlocks
I hate purples
Based
Dhs provide a necessary buff to us Assassination gamers
remove raid buffs
I’ll accept a maiming (this is a joke this is a joke this is a joke this is a joke this is a joke this is a joke this is a joke this is a joke this is a joke)

His damage is pretty decent but no The locks and I top meters
GRATZ Tony!

at goliath (waycrest), is there a way to reduce the damage of thorns as a rogue?
Sims want me to socket haste and prior haste items? but the wow guide's want me to socket mastery and crit. Any thoughts?
The sim isn't telling you to prio haste items, it's simply telling you that within the variables given whatever the best configuration is is currently best for you
Your stat priority changes over time the WoW guide is a general guide
disregard gearing guides, listen to the robot
after this week I will have nothing to spend aspect crests on
Same aside from crafts
3 items from the vault will be upgrades in the game lol
guess ill start making some subtlety embellishment crafts for fun
I have Larodar and Waycrest rings right now
at 489
i want a solid crit mastery ring
maybe for sub I'd craft one
its hard for sure
like 12 button snap opener with half of them off the gcd lol
granted i was learning it for the first time this tier during smold prog
The dust stuff is what fucks me up
Yeah same and i decided to just play sin so i can focus on not dying lol
any consumables that can make your character slightly smaller?
lots of toys can
i need something that doesnt have many hours of cooldown
😛
like reverse winterfall firewater
i'm over here simming sockets cuz my whole m+ row was boots

WHAT ARE THOSE?!
I did that too, socket worth 1k dps on patchwork
mine was all trinkets
and none of them were good

Counterweight angle for sure

I eman Ember isnt that bad
we're gonna stop reclearing soon
Isnt ember like the second best passive on sub
so ig i just take the tier
wasnt spiked counterweight buffed
pips at 483 was the least worst option
why hat
because I'm playing sub
Purple Helmet Warrior
hat was so last tier
why would I not craft a helm
oh
idk I am 
Oxi firing shots
I would like to kill this boss as fast as possible
very generous of you
so I can quit until next expac
But what about fated @gusty mirage 
if you ever say those words to me again I'm blocking you from my life

the only thing that sounds less fun than being forced to play sub for another 6 months
is doing dathea again
or zskarn
or echo of nelth
Raszageth
rasz is fine
But maybe they buff Sin in S4 
yeah man
maybe in the next rework
only for the balance team to overnerf assassination yet again

the last 3% was completely unnecessary
That everytime one Rogue spec
is really top meta
it gets nerfed multiple times
but other classes like WL and Mage
because the people who balance clearly don't play the game
can stay on top an entire tier
also rogue population is significantly smaller than mage population for example
so when rogue is good, it seems oppressive
Wouldnt that make Ret a good target to buff it?
that's what happens when balancing is a clown fiesta
arent there many Ret players
YES BUFF RET
I mean ret did get buffed
This.
Yeah but i mean like top 5
ret got a 2.5% buff
But fuck rets
the problem is damage profile and dog talents
Mine ret is whining too much
that's with axe, and a sim
well ofc
that's literally almost every spec in the game
that's not exclusive to ret paladin
people wanted talent trees back
this is the result

also a Talent tree on wish
I didnt feel the kingsbane nerf, but that 3% fuckin made me wanna reroll
you definitely didn't feel the 3% either

except that your RL was probaly telling you to play sub now

isn't that the neat thing about feelings, you can't substantiate the claim. He could've easily felt the 3% in relation to his performance from prior weeks
!up
well you're wrong duck man
Definitely did and it shows on the meters. And sub is the biggest dump of shit, its horrible for m+
just like you're wrong for playing assassination on smolderon
How can you know that someone else can't know or feel what someone else feels
I call it

I mean it was wrong before the nerfs, it's definitely wrong now
I mean doesnt Sin work with Autumn buff
technically
best case scenario assassination was a good chunk behind sub PRIOR to all the nerfs
you can do that without augs
with just autumn?
you just hold DM for first intermission

and it lines up
