Hey everyone I’m looking for some help with my dps. My opening seems to be pretty well tuned and I can pump some serious dmg within cd but outside that window I seem to be dropping like a stone dps wise. Any suggestions on what may be the issue? I currently keep all bleeds up and 4+ cp evenom but I do not pool energy. Is it a sufficient drop in dps if I do not do that?

if u don't pool you will have less envenom chians

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

Happy to follow up with logs or detail meters break downs if that is helpful but didn’t want to spam them if this is not the place for it

Does Arterial remove Enrage from 5 adds or just 1?

limber lion
#

5

tawny geyser
#

But then we have to play the Arterial Build in Fortified week, Hyrbid is better, no?

slim hamlet
#

Wasting your dmg to do half the job evoker can do

#

feels bad

slim hamlet
#

U just invite an aug like every other week

tawny geyser
#

Okay got it

#

Thanks! ❤️

slim hamlet
#

It's like a last resort if u got nothing else in your group and if removing the enrage actually matters

#

Which it doesnt in a lot of keys and key levels

tawny geyser
#

We're just preparing for 25EB, so wanted to ask, but we do have an AUG.

dark token
#

veng/mw/assa/warlock/aug is also good

#

or prot/mw/dh/assa/aug

slim hamlet
#

warlock doesnt make u deal more dmg

dark token
#

or prot/mw/dh/assa/enh

slim hamlet
#

Oh yea I guess if aug counts

dark token
#

im thinking good comps for assa

#

not simp comps

echo junco
#

is WF totem that good?

limber lion
#

Yes

slim hamlet
#

Yews but that wasnt what he asked apparently

#

Just full simp max your dmg comp

dark token
#

warrior/priest/dh/enh/assa

slim hamlet
#

prob

#

I wonder if not having the DH and taking monk instad is better

#

so your KB actually ticks

dark token
#

nah we do more nature than phys

slim hamlet
dark token
#

monk buff doesnt work on kb

slim hamlet
#

I havent said it does

#

Also why is poisons and venoms magical

dark token
#

i dunno

#

i dont even know if bleeds count for monk debuff

#

bleeding is sometimes diff than phys

slim hamlet
#

I think bleeds is in the nether

#

It certainly fits more in physical than magical

#

but so does poisons

thorn fjord
#

Poisons fit the magical RP I think

#

Bleeds def should be physical

wraith cosmos
#

iirc, and its kinda weird

#

most of sins dmg has nothing to do with armor

#

bleeds are physical technically so that should be affected by monk

#

its just physical that ignores armor

That isn’t a log

wide mountain

#

few weeks back, seems my guild hasnt uploaded this weeks logs

limber lion
#

Would highly recommend that you read a guide and follow the rotation there

wide mountain
#

Also a few weeks before I was trrying to really up my dmg so probably a lot of mistakes

fleet pagoda
#

for you gents who have tried porcelain crab in m+, what was your uptime like?

wide mountain
limber lion
#

It doesn't follow the rotation whatsoever

wide mountain
#

well that would explain a lot

limber lion
#

No slice, no Rupture, Shiv 10s too late, Deathmark after Kingsbane, no Envenom before Kingsbane

feral mason
#

Where are the combo points going

limber lion
#

It's all wrong

wide mountain
#

yea no excuse for the slice here

limber lion
#

No excuse for any of it

wide mountain
#

the rest is what im trying to smooth out

#

fair

limber lion
#

You literally pressed a generator 6 times in a row before using a finisher

#

Wasting like 12 combo points

#

The entire basic concept of generate - finish is completely flawed

#

!guides

limber lion
#

Highly recommend that you go through the Wowhead guide here and read through the basics

wide mountain
#

fair enough

winter vapor
#

I know were often not taking CT on Tyr weeks/some keys and playing around cleave on KB. But on Fort weeks are folks taking it? and if not what you assigning the point too instead?

limber lion

It took you 58 seconds to cast your first Rupture, even though it should be the third gcd and should be up 100% of the time after that

Im having the most fun ever as assassin in M+. I still like catching restealths, which I know people say you dont need. But when i can stealth and DM dance/KB on a large pack I do so much damage

#

Is there a consensus on what embelishment is best? Seeing a lot of people with blue silk, others with the boots and even others with shadowflame

spice spire
#

It’s between silk and boots in keys, boots in raid

night halo
#

are the sims working properly for ashes and cataclysmic signet brand? both of them on HC are simming lower than my sandglass and witherbark's branch on ST but I see all the top logs on fyrakk mythic for example playing them. what am I missing?

pine dew
#

!dagger

simple stratus
#

fights over 6 minutes is where brand starts to shine

pine dew
#

should i use the dagger of cd?

night halo
#

so basically I can choose to play ashes over branch in order to skip the hassle of picking up the orbs

simple stratus
#

tindral is a good example because youre making huge moves and sometimes you leave your orbs behind and never get them

#

and cant optimize the staggered pick up times

night halo
#

yeah I play most of tindral prog with the crab instead

#

but swapped to branch in the end and had to do a scuffed opener in order to get the trinket on cd and pick it up before the 1st move

simple stratus
#

yeah its not ideal

#

if you're doing a 5 min sim, brand will look pretty bad

#

try 10 min

night halo
#

will do! thanks for the help 🙂

simple stratus
#

tindral is usually a 7-8 min fight and and fyrak is like 10 min

sweet dawn
#

and then don't need to use it again unless you change weapons iirc

turbid hornet
#

Is there a logical reason why my DPS in M+ went up by just using NO CT Builds? it sims worst....but ingame does better than the rest....am i just doing something wrong with the other talent builds?

runic hinge
#

Maybe you’re paying too much attention to ct. or maybe not enough

turbid hornet
#

so its me actually not using CT correctly rather than the build doing more damage right?

runic hinge
#

There’s too many factors to judge

#

What are the pulls like? What dungeons and what key level? What are the other dps

#

Are you comparing tyr week to fort

#

Are you just playing better this week

turbid hornet
#

Well i run mostly 20-21 Keys with a Ret Pally so i noticed the change because i usually dont get as much DPS as he does, when he does 220k i do 195k.... and last night i tried the Blindside noCT build and i was doing 5k Less DPS than him

#

i dont think im playing better

#

but i do think i spam CT too much some times

runic hinge
#

Having one less plate to spin can help you pay attention to other stuff too

#

I think I’ll give the cleave build a try this week and see how it feels because I probably pay too much attention to CT

turbid hornet
#

Yah maybe ill have to run without CT for a few weeks and see how it does in Tyr weeks

lean portal
#

well the build with CT is just worse

turbid hornet
#

how so

lean portal
#

talents you take over CT deal more dmg

#

than CT itself

turbid hornet
#

wtf

#

why it sims worst?

lean portal
#

its not that incredible

runic hinge
#

I think that’s pull and dungeon dependent

lean portal
#

yeah its debatable

#

but with CT you lose so much single target dmg also

runic hinge
#

In like the doti instances ct doesn’t get much value

#

Pulls are too small but eb and brh it’s gonna do alright

lean portal
#

CT is to pad on long fortified packs

#

no CT is better everywhere else

#

there is not debate for me

runic hinge
#

There’s no pad on fort weeks. Trash gotta die too lol

turbid hornet
#

so CT is just for really high fortified keys?

lean portal
#

trash dying no matter what tbh

turbid hornet
#

Yah i noticed with the ret pally buddy packs dont tend to last

lean portal
#

CT is never

#

imo

#

but i can be wrong ofc

dark token
#

ct is everywhere

#

no ct is never good

subtle tundra
runic hinge
#

Should get you a ct lover flair

lean portal
#

why are no top assa playing CT then

subtle tundra
#

what the fuck you mean PAD

dark token
subtle tundra
#

doing damage is padding?!?!?!

#

wtf???

lean portal
#

applying dmg on trash mobs that will die anyways instead of getting good prio dmg on targets that must die

pseudo hamlet
#

I am playing with CT on forti weeks, trash is dying fast, that's true. But the only concern I've got is that my KB isn't lasting it's full duration like most of the times.

subtle tundra
dark token
#

doing dmg to adds in dungeon

#

= pad

runic hinge
#

Trash on fort is just pad btw

subtle tundra
#

my iq has just lowered

#

thanks obama

lean portal
#

wanting to deal dmg a lot to have the funny number on details instead of nuking prio target = pad yeah

#

pretty sure thats the definition

dark token
#

all ur dmg is ct + garrotes

lean portal
#

valuing your own ego over the key being timed

subtle tundra
#

im killing myself

runic hinge
#

Trash dying faster is just ego

pseudo hamlet
lean portal
#

but maybe you're all right and im wrong ofc no need to send 70 emotes guys

#

youre probably all pushing really high keys ^^

subtle tundra
#

well you sound delulu so im acting delulu

dark token
#

only time i would consider skipping CT is rise/fall tyran

subtle tundra
#

well, yea, i have pushed, not this season but i have

dark token
#

other dungeons its way too good

#

even in those dungeons its good

subtle tundra
#

and yes doing dps is good in high keys too

lean portal
#

surely you can agree nuking a prio is more important than spreading dmg

#

often

#

and our class is good at nuking prio

subtle tundra
#

just cause you talent into ct it doesnt mean you lose all rpio

lean portal
#

why would we try to pad

subtle tundra
#

my guy

lean portal
#

we're not these guys

#

no ofc but you lose some

subtle tundra
#

so you should play internal bleeding cause spatter is pad

#

thats how you sound

dark token
#

and u can do that

#

with ct in ur build

lean portal
#

but you got what i mean

subtle tundra
#

whatever

#

you do you!

#

just dont go around preaching info like that

lean portal
#

yea ofc everyone play as they like !

#

i write 'imo' at the end of a lot of my msg ^^ just trying to help

#

also pointing out that very very few top raiderio assa are playing ct

turbid hornet
#

Well im not pushing High Keys but i do take Prio targets most of the time and maybe thats the reason NO CT works better for me?

subtle tundra
#

so basically zerocool

#

who is known to play the weirdest shit ever

lean portal
#

is where i looked

subtle tundra
#

NOT THE MURLOK

#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

i will kill myself

lean portal
#

is it bad ?

#

bro dont be so condescending were just talking XD

subtle tundra
#

looking at it and drawing conclusions without context is

turbid hornet
#

i tried the build because of zerocool, whats is interesting is that weirdest shit worked better...so thx god for the weirdoes

subtle tundra
#

there's like 4 builds you can play

#

on assa

#

and do similar dmg on all

turbid hornet
#

i tried them all yesterday

subtle tundra
#

and some are better for some dungeons/affixes

#

ofc

#

there's no 1 best build

#

its not that deep

#

yes bro you tried them all yesterday

lean portal
#

the zerocool build is working wayyy better for me personally

#

its why i preach it ^^

#

but youre right

subtle tundra
#

every build on every dungeon on every group on every affix

spice surge
turbid hornet
#

the only one that actually step up the rest in 20s keys was that zerocool one, thats why i came to ask if its something im doing wrong with the other builds or its actually mean to do better dps

subtle tundra
#

its a bunch of placebo

#

and a lot of biases

#

on top of each other

#

i keep changing my build around all the time

#

never notice it

turbid hornet
#

bro, you are getting mad over nothing....nobody is trying to change your mind im just seeking for info....

#

you can still do you...wth

subtle tundra
#

im not getting mad

#

im just explaining

#

what people cant understand

#

but i guess i'd need to be purple name and say this for it to matter

turbid hornet
#

maybe its not what u say but the way you say it...think about it...not everything is a confrontation...

#

thx for the info guys

subtle tundra
#

im just typing things

#

there's nothing aggressive about it

dark token
#

ct on 4t is equivilant dmg to a rupture on single target anyway

#

its equal prio dmg hybrid build vs cleave no ct build

#

cleave build only has more dam on boss dmg

#

hence take it on keys where boss dmg really matters

#

aka rise/fall because bosses like tyr and iridikron get shields

#

combat time does not scale linearly with ur single target dmg but multiplicatively on those bosses

#

if u have low ST you get more shields which takes even longer

#

other bosses where this matters is those that spawn adds (gorak tul, dht first boss)

subtle tundra
#

i was so excited to play assa in m+ at the start of the patch and now we got nerfed twice and are just worse than the other 2 specs again

#

💔

lean portal
#

still very fun to play ! imo

subtle tundra
#

fun yep

pseudo hamlet
#

Assa overall once again seems... too complicated. I mean compared to other specs(and classes). The effort =! gain.

lean portal
#

iron wire

#

is all we have left

dark token
#

pretty annoying

#

but we are better than we were in the last 7 seasons still

#

even post nerf

#

and the gameplay is better

#

so im still enjoying it

#

like assa is definitely good enough to get 0.1% title still

wide ferry
#

Was loving it unt the nerfs, especially the 3%. Like above said, other classes do more with much less effort.

dark token
#

they should buff CT more

#

so people stop trolling

subtle tundra
pseudo hamlet
#

I don't know about that, I was doing relatively better/same DPS in S4 SL, but I guess that's because I was doing +20 keys only for the weeklies.

subtle tundra
#

remove tier set and CT is so fucking OP

dark token
#

ye

rugged grail
#

as the pooling pratice wa says to pull to 5cp

dark token
#

also people dont realize

rugged grail
#

why on wowhead it say we can use a 4+ ?

dark token
#

a ct vs no ct build still has same tier set procs

#

its just less raw envenom dmg through amp poison

rugged grail
#

so always 5

#

?

#

or 6 if proc

pseudo hamlet
#

+4 for the Envenom/tier thing.

rugged grail
#

so the pooling pratice if wrong ?

#

cause u cant see if u can evenom

#

until u reach 5

sweet dawn
#

4+ generally, you want to do a 5+ envenom before kingsbane/DM

pseudo hamlet
sweet dawn
#

You can just change the trigger in the pooling practice to be 4 not 5

quick wedge
#

What poisons i play with this build in m+?

sweet dawn
#

Deadly + numbing/atrophic

#

Opinions in-game seem to differ so I thought I'd ask here: can rogues do anything vs. the Afflicted affix? I've had good luck up until now and nobody has said anythign to me about it. Insights appreciated.

When Assassination was reworked and be gained value as a PI target, was that value a result of tuning to our haste this tier or was it a because of a more fundamental change to assassination's kit this rework?
In other words is assassination's reliance on PI something we could expect to change tier-to-tier as relative stat values shift or are we in the same boat as UDKs where we are stuck with it barring major talent changes?

spice spire
#

You need help

spice spire
#

People look at PI and see haste and go “do I like haste” but it’s more “in that window what do I do with the haste” and since it’s more poison applications, yeah it does a lot for our kb windows

ornate aspen
#

So it's defintely more fundamental. If our damage profile now is based around periods of burst that line up with PI theres no way around needing PI for optimal output

spice spire
#

Oh

#

In general where does your raid lack? ST blasting or pad?

past forum

#

Sub does better both. But if you need the execute for some reason sin can be useful (both are more than fine on both tindral and fyrrak)

macro ashes to kb ye?

yes

pressing like 3 sec after KB is even better

is that some ambush/mutilate stealth bar situation?

do u always use ambush to generate cp in stealth ? a guildie told me to use mutilate during kb window

should i have both bound for stealth

mut in kb window applies like 3 more poison stacks and does very very little extra damage

#

or did

runic hinge
#

You can use mutilate for a small gain in dm+kb window but the gain is super duper small

Like 2-300 dps I think

Stealth can break from:

  • 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

what posions do we run for m+?

icy urchin
#

Hey question. New to the class but curious, when do we capitalize on Caustic Splatter vs just using fan of knives outside of funnel damage? Like is there a target count you should swap at or do we always want Fan in straight AoE without a priority target? Also what poisons to use when?

icy acorn
#

you just take one target with the most hp, apply caustic with one mutilate and then use fok with enough targets until caustic is wearing off. then you just repeat

#

atro, crippling (if sanguine week, dont apply it in m+), ampli and deadly poison

icy acorn
#

yeah, thought of something else lol

junior yoke
raven egret
#

I mean its already way lower if you look at Damage instead of Damage to Bosses - but as far as damage to Bosses is concerned; yes a lot of it is PI driven

#

but not Aug, most of the stuff is reattributed to Aug and removed from our logs

#

still a few leftover bugs on that I think

icy acorn
#

the hooks are still pretty broken

#

a lot of dmg isnt even listed in the logs

neat horizon
#

I need to learn sub then

#

seems like its slapping without needing any externals

icy acorn
#

windfury is kinda your pi on sub

#

but yeah, you dont need the pi to do more dmg while the pi can (and is already) go to a bm/udk without you losing anything

#

or more like the raid

neat horizon
#

Yeah would be a bit simpler than having to macro every priest's name i come across OMEGAKEKW

icy acorn
#

iim also pretty sure sub will get its share of balancing the coming weeks

raven egret
#

Short of deleting Shadowdust not much they can do for sub I think... but the mages I know sure are happy that Sin is not at the top anymore -_-

icy acorn
#

altough dust is kinda coinflip imo
it will either be too good to not use
or too bad to use

and im pretty sure they will keep it for the time being

also one thing to mention, normalization:

the overall statistic or...

I know that PI isn't the end all be all aspect but it's important imo to remember that it is part of that chart everyone always looks at

lime crypt
#

why is even PI a thing in logs

#

why doesnt it just get disqualified from rankings if log finds out that the player got external?

raven egret
#

You can log at the logs themselves and exclude external buffs, the aggregate statistics does not

lime crypt
#

okay but like

#

whenever someone pulls out a graph out of their ass

#

id be nice if they already done it before

#

like i keep seeing wowhead updates

#

like "this is the dps for the past week"

lime crypt
#

and they look at it and see a spec that got 30k dps from externals alone

lucid scroll
#

@lime crypt they polled asking if people wanted it removed from logs ages ago with multiple options of how to do it and like 50% of people voted to exclude pi from logs but they ended up just going with the current system of showing external buffs anyway

why are people so focused on only pi tho

isnt windfury totem as potent as pi is?

pi is 12k for sin

or does it get deduced?

like realistically I think if you want to truly remove PI and externals from statistics, you also have to remove windfury, dh debuff, monk debuff, warrior buff, etc, and they should all re-attribute to the specs if that's the goal

The problem with doing that though is that for one, it's really fking hard to reverse those numbers, and that's not really how blizzard designed raid buffs in general. They're toeing the line between externals and raid buffs on a lot of the stuff. Demon hunter/monk debuff is basically 150k dps in a mythic raid. But tuning a demon hunter to do 50k dps because their raid buff is worth 150k so that it stacks up with other classes is some actual braindead shit, for obvious reasons.

So those gotta stay in, windfury included. PI is a personal external, so it's the biggest contended buff, but the math on PI is also by far the hardest

All that being said though, blizzard isn't a company full of bozos, and they know as well as anyone else that PI and windfury and stuff has value to specs. They have the ability to go to google and smash their feet onto the keyboard until "bloodmallet.com" shows up in their search just like any other average wow player would smash their feet into the keyboard. To assume that they just see long warcraftlogs bar and punch a spec for it with no thought is frankly nothing short of delusional, and they've accounted for these things before in their tuning, like arcane mage, warlock, etc. They tune because things are just really fkin strong or really fking weak

Equipped with tiny daggers strapped to its sides, the bunny rogue would engage in swift and sneaky movements, using its agility to dodge attacks and deliver surprising strikes. Its emotes might include playful hops, sly winks, and cute gestures to distract enemies before landing a decisive blow.

In the world of Azeroth, this bunny rogue would be the epitome of stealth and charm, proving that even the smallest and seemingly innocent creatures can be formidable and cunning adventurers.```

Also true, you're never going to get all your chase items before you're drowning in crests

hey yall, brand new to rogue - trying to make sure I am understanding the sin openner/rotation correctly.

looking at wowhead, it shows the first global of SD/KB window being improved garrote, then a envenom at 4 cb (1 from shiv, 1 from kb, 2 from improved garrote).

however when I run a sim to see if I'm near the dps I should be on my opener, the API has the first global of SD/KB being an envenom at 2 cb (just the shiv and KB cbs) and the imp garrote after.

Am I understanding correctly? Which is the correct order while in SD/KB?

sweet dawn
#

Is the 2 cb envenom the first one in the DM opener?

#

Because it might be to get 100% uptime of envenom during KB

spice spire

Sequencing matters but the difference is minimal

It probably does the ideal but breaks the general rule so the guide probably just follows that rule

No elv specific

#

But there are weak auras a plenty

I haven't used elvui in years, how could you even have a spec specific profile?

#

isn't it just chat and party/raid and actionbars?

#

and frames

keen viper
#

hmmm i am just returning to wow again . So basically my question should be any advice for ui setttings? :))

sullen quest
#

Ah. Well nothing spec or class specific as it has very little to do with that.

a good WA pack as linked above is essential for combat

you can use clique to bind things like TOTT and shadowstep to a key that only triggers their use when hovering over someones frame in party or raid

you can use bartender to configure and hide actionbars

spice surge
#

But even then, the exact positions, size, orientation etc are all something people fiddle with

sullen quest
#

you can also just stick to a nice all in one like elvui and just add a WA

#

Purely for UI though I would say WA essential, and once you've developed all the muscle memory hide your actionbars to save space and have a nice clean look, everything else is kinda personal preference

keen viper
#

counting in my head, so fairly inaccurate, after activation you can easily get out under from touching any of the orbs and run around for roughly 14 seconds before they despawn

#

the MA argument doesn't work cus we vanish for MA at the end of KB

sullen quest
#

on ST MA is long lost anyway by the time you get to activating trinket

static glacier
#

could this be sim length fuckery? since it's +-1min

sullen quest
#

if you synch it with DM (do you?)

spice spire
#

Yes you sync with dm

sullen quest
#

yeah so no MA there

static glacier
#

then again 3s before KB expiration

sullen quest
#

ah the next one through SD

#

yeah my bad

#

yeah you're right

static glacier
#

I can't come up with a reason why not having trinket for last ticks of KB would ever not be a loss tbh

#

since even assuming you cap KB stacks you'd be very unlikely to do it within 4-5 globals

sullen quest
#

or why it seems that those 2 globals between 3/3/7 and 1/1/7 are 1k dps

#

that's crazy

static glacier
#

this is one of those cases where we just make a value judgement in terms of possibility of execution / theoretical reasons

#

rather than fully follow the sims

sullen quest
#

yeah, in any case it's good to see that you don't have to eye a timer, as long as you pick up the first 2 quickly and delay the last by anywhere from 5 to 8 you're basically good

#

but if you fail to get a single orb 1 second late

#

you're fucked and might aswell be using another trinket

static glacier
#

personally I pick first 2 asap then stare at KB timer

#

as soon as it hits 10 I will run into the orb i've kited

sullen quest
#

oh yeah that's a good way to do it

static glacier
#

im sure someone could make a WA to give a sound cue etc to help time that stuff
