import his pack and that's it

#

don't need to do anything else

pseudo elm
#

the only thing i dont have there is caustic spatter and kb, kb is on a seperate wa.

limber lion
#

Eh

#

That's not really true

#

You're missing out on a lot of really important things

#

and tracking many useless things at the same time

#

Where's your Envenom weak aura?

runic hinge
#

At one point I had two envenom trackers and a timer going

pseudo elm
#

i only use the buff bar, not the rotation bar. it shows pretty much everything i use. When its up. But not trinkets, caustic spatter, kb or dm. kb got a seperate weakaura that shows above the buff bar when its up.

minor aurora
#

if im only really solid at sin rogue how much of a crutch is that if my guild/team needs a rogue cause we dont have one? i know smolderon and a lot of bosses sub rogue is huge

balmy condor
#

sin is really good on tindral/fyrakk

#

it's okay on smold, but sub is noticeably better on smold

#

outside of smold it's chillin

runic hinge
#

Is sub as far ahead if you take out smold

balmy condor
#

nah

#

but it's still a couple %

minor aurora
#

okay cool that works for me!

balmy condor
#

like yeah it's better pretty much anywhere

#

but sin in no way sucks

minor aurora
#

like i can learn but in the immediate time frame id like to be playing sin

dark token
#

fwiw sin is good enough on fyrakk im considering running it over sub for next week's clear since our timings suck for sub. The specs are pretty close there

#

tindral is probably leaning more toward sub (and sub feels way comfier cause of acro) but sin is still decent

pseudo elm
dark token
#

you can see timings and stuff from top sin rogues on lorrgs.io

#

dont really need a video, its hard to see these things from vid

pseudo elm
#

isent it worth waiting to after orbs for buff dmg with kb/dm?

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

no big deal either way

pseudo elm
#

okey, on heroic it made a diffrence for me

balmy condor
#

as long as it's not like deathmark -> wait 10 seconds -> pick up orbs

balmy condor
#

not really convinced you're noticing the difference or just proccing better

pseudo elm
#

could be that, mabye i just learned to use them better, but i tried saving dm and only used kb untill phase 2. And it buffed up my dps pretty good.

balmy condor
#

on heroic that'll definitely do it

#

kill times on mythic mean you just slam on cooldown

pseudo elm
#

and i found it harder to get the whole rotation spotless in phase one. sence its alot of moving around

#

okey, i have tried smolderon on mythic, that wasent easy. And then i mean to get it all right in phase one. So would be fun to se how other sin rouges do

balmy condor
#

It’s not really that bad

#

You have your stack points for everything

#

Tank slam gets a stack point, the tornados spread in a line on either side so there’s a column to run through for the tank soak people

#

Rinse repeat forever

#

It’s a mess really early on prog cause people are just panicking

#

But once it’s a little more organized

#

Pretty chill

royal lantern
#

slam on nearly cd

pseudo elm
#

Thats a important part ofc, when i tried it the guild i was in were still progressing on smolderon. So it was pretty messy. But still even on heroic thats the boss i got most problem with to max my dps. Prob a little mix of everything, not organized enough, bad planing too. But i still feel that on smolderon i should have the option to choose a diffrent spec

royal lantern
pseudo elm
#

That does more consistent dmg

void mesa
#

Smolderon has been a sub fight for awhile now

#

Their dmg spikes line up better for the fight and the orbs

pseudo elm
#

What about outlaw?

royal lantern
#

we talk about rogue specs here

pseudo elm
#

so you are not a fan of outlaw?

void mesa
#

Outlaw is a flat dmg profile. You put your trinkets in the intermission, and you just send your stuff all the time

#

No thought or planning involved, doesnt benefit much from the dmg and as such isnt great but isnt bad

pseudo elm
#

Okey, so pretty much a beast mastery hunter then?

#

Rotation wise i mean

#

just go for it

royal lantern
#

i will say yes just because it makes a shitton of yellow names angry

#

not really, outlaw just doesnt really has big burst windows you plan and play around

void mesa
#

BM has burst cds and dmg windows. Outlaw aims to get maximal uptime on its dmg buffs and is always sending

royal lantern
pseudo elm
#

I gotta start trying out sub and outlaw in low keys and normal raids. Its leaning towards sub right now. I really like sin but as an alternetive spec

shy pecan
#

Except solo. Don’t be mean to solo

scenic nacelle
#

#

Anyone know if any changes are coming in assasination?

runic hinge
#

Yeah. We’re gonna be strong in s4 release then about two to four weeks in they’re gonna nerf us to be mid as hell and leave us there for the rest of the season

Hello, I have a stupid question and I don't know if anyone can give me an answer. I'm a beginner in Cac classes and I wanted to play a dot class. are feral and assa gameplay similar? what are the differences ? I'm having a hard time deciding between the two.

On tswift is it really a matter of preference to play sub or sin? Or are there external buff considerations?

I don’t have to get an orb at all. Im kinda hating sub life cd management. It’s fun on good pulls. Awful when I lose the pacing.

Nymue so far has been my favorite boss to do as sin. You feel rewarded for properly playing around the mechanics but can still execute your rotation optimally pretty much every pull

Do we have anyone in here rocking 4k ish IO i'm wondering what you consider BIS for M+

#

i'm 2850 but idk if i need to move something around to do more dmg to push 28+ keys

#

I was using Archon but it seems to have deleted the assassin load out

rotund oak
#

dont wanna discourage u or anything but as assassination u wont be able to do it

#

if u want high r.io rogues hop in the outlaw channel

#

and just a heads up

#

the current highest rogue rn is about 3.9

runic hinge
#

Is anyone actually 4k io

rotund oak

dont think so

is there even an assa player in this channel that plays assa in high keys

#

even zero went outlaw lately

i have a 27 brh, so can count it as a 24 also

U can't live on half the keys and even where u can live ur bad at add swapping for bosses like brh last boss, everbloom last boss, thorns boss WM

#

I hit like 3550 and went sub instead which at least can live

#

Sub and outlaw actually takes like 20% less dmg than sin

#

It's nuts

#

Through passive DRs and more vers

i just know it exists

runic hinge

Sin gets more leech than the other two from the same talent

dark token
#

How much more

runic hinge
#

7% I think

#

5>12

subtle tundra
#

we need to get overleech

#

no cap

#

acting like a

#

uh shield

#

sorry cant type a whole sentence

clever sapphire
#

overleech

#

reminded me of overwatch

#

so a dead game

subtle tundra
#

shitwatch!

dark token
#

Overleach with 300% max HP cap

#

Ye this would be good

#

Sin actually does leech a lot just it's worthless most of the time

subtle tundra
#

yea im just smart like that sometimes

clever sapphire
#

good enough for blue slilken uptime huh

dark token
#

But honestly 12% leach is not that much

#

If you do 200k St that's only 24k hps

#

And mechanics truck you for much more than that

#

Ur HP pool like 850k

subtle tundra
#

i do 200k st?!?

So leaching from a full health hit gonna take like 35s

200k st is pretty good for key bosses

With no external buffs

rotund oak
#

outlaw should be even tankier than sub

#

more stamina and vers

royal lantern
#

like

#

its rogue deffensive stuff

#

and we reached the point where thats not enough

#

imagine telling somebody that 2 years ago

#

"yeha, cant push with that rogue spec, its too squishy"

#

and assa got more tanky with the update cus elusivness is really good now

rotund oak
#

actually ye its very cool now

#

to the point u dont rly need more than8-10% avoidance in ur gear

#

or something like that

#

but sin idk

#

push above 25s

#

like trying to break a wall with ur head

#

its not happening

dark token
#

Well actually I mean some of the aoe ones still get you very low

#

Like tree boss dht

#

If you don't feint u die

#

If you do ur 10% hp

#

As assa

#

If I tried on a 30 I would prob die

Hey all, new here. Looking at assassination guides on Wowhead, but also looking at Raiderio and I can't tell what the correct build to go is. I see some builds go down the right party of the tree with scent of blood + sudden demise, but don't take poison bomb or dragon-tempered blades and then other builds go and take that, but don't take the right side. Some builds are even skipping over crimson tempest? I have no idea

oak tangle
#

go with any 🙂 they are all equal the just have slightly different playstyles

#

sudden demise is a more bleed focussed / multi dotting style, whereas the others are more of a cleave kingsbanes off a single target. I recommend the sudden demise at lower key levels which takes some power away from kb's if mobs are dying before you can have all the ticks go through

bleak plume
#

The cleave build is primarily for high m+ like 23 and above, wouldn't use it below that

#

Although it's nice for tyrannical weeks for pure st

lean aurora
#

why is assa placed in C Tier for m+? Currently I am doing 20s and I feel like assa is very strong dmg wise. Especially, when mobs are lasting long enough?

orchid pewter
#

thats the biggest problem, they dont last long enough

#

and even if they do you are not doing more dam than the other 2 specs

rotund oak
#

If u play with Dhs and Hunters and Rets and Fury wars mobs get deleted

#

bleeds dont even tick 😄

orchid pewter
#

you can do insane dam, if the pull is good, if there is a big target which nobody else is focusing, and you have pi

#

happens once in a while, but almost impossible in pugs i feel like

rotund oak
#

did this WM 22,before the tree boss tank pulled everything,pressed everything on the witch

#

i did something like 1mil dps

#

its all about having spatter before u press KB

#

big dam happening

#

also in rise,before last boss the 3 mob pack

#

thats a full send on the drake

#

and the packs before lady waycrest

subtle tundra
#

And 20s this season isn't something to brag about

quiet oar
#

Tierlists are just bait

royal lantern
#

yeha its just

#

yes assa is weaker then outlaw/sub for m+

#

but it still strong and 1 of the best melee options tbh lol, just kinda sucks in lower keys cus stuff dies too fast so you cant really do your big aoe dmg that has windup

dark token
#

It's fine in lower keys

#

Just play sudden demise

#

You don't need windup it pops everything

#

I do my weekly 18s as assa

#

It's quite fun

past forum
#

Both dawn keys and Throne are rly fun as ass cause most packs have a good kb+spatter target

#

But yeah Sudden Demise is a fun way to yoink overall from those pesky dh/ret 😈 assuming they don’t 100-0 the shitter mobs, 1 tick of CT will snipe em

well he used it correctly for like 3 pulls

now he either completly forgets it

or gives it to me after 40 sec

so exactly between cooldowns

is there a wa i could send him so he gets a popup for pi? dracthyr_kek

sorry boaz

#

if it would i would have annoyed whispyr long ago about it

balmy condor
#

big brain making a 3% talent maybe 3.3%

clever sapphire
#

numbers add up

#

they dont add up to much

#

but they add up

faint quartz
#

On Whispyr's YouTube cooldown usage video, he suggests a cast sequence macro for Shiv, ShadowStep, Kingsbane, Garrote, Envenom.
What does this look like?
Is there a way of adding Death mark to it? Like, if it's off CD use it, if not, ignore command?
Is there a reason why I shouldn't add Death mark to the list, since it's also supposed to be used as soon as it's available?

balmy condor
#

yeah, so instead of being -3% it's -slightly less than that%

#

big pog

clever sapphire
#

whispyr suggesting cast sequence? take away his purple color

#

im not trusting that guy anymore

balmy condor

the only thing I suggest with cast sequence macros is removing them from the game

faint quartz
balmy condor
#

that's not a suggestion

#

that's a "if you wanna troll yourself go for it"

#

at the end of the day you're the one playing the game

#

if you wanna be dogshit you can make that choice

#

just leave my name out of it

faint quartz
#

Why is it a bad idea? I've never heard of sequence macros before

balmy condor
#

because they're incredibly rigid

woeful meteor
balmy condor
#

you learn nothing about why you're pressing the buttons, you have no control over what you're actually doing

and if your macro fucks up at any point in the chain, rest in piss

#

When are we leaning more towards the bleed build in M+? Yesterday we did some 24s and I was playing the poison focused build and lacking a bit of dmg, falling behind a demo and a shadow by roughly 20k dps

balmy condor
#

arterial is mostly lower keys like weekly 20s

#

the higher you go, the more value generally gets put on prio damage and single target

#

which is where the poison focused build comes in

lean aurora
#

hello mighty whispyr. What build would you then recommend for 24s upwards? Going middle + right side? (if leaving arterial behind)

balmy condor
#

they're all viable

#

you just gotta pick what you wanna do

#

if you wanna do more overall, should keep crimson tempest and play like a hybrid thing

#

people have been playing this

#

as disgusting as it is

#

seems to work

#

if things are dying too quick and you need to move damage out of kingsbane

#

just go full arterial

#

move the DTB stuff to sudden demise

#

it's just what you need

lean aurora
#

yeah I guess its the beauty of the talent tree. So many things seem to be working and you can adapt

balmy condor
#

generally there's 2 big thoughts to do

#
  1. are you taking DTB, cause that's a big jump for kingsbane/prio/caustic damage
#
  1. are you taking CT, if you aren't you're getting a bit more low target cleave and single target, if you are then you're getting a bit more aoe
#

CT in like everbloom for example has the potential to be one of the biggest damage sources

#

but if you as an individual think that it's all pad and you decide you're boss/abomination duty

#

then fuck the CT, grab dtb, smash them

lean aurora
#

seems logic. Thank you very much

balmy condor
#

np

lean aurora
#

when playing the screenshotted build I guess we are using deadly poison + instant? Since we do not have amplifying

normal otter
#

What’s your guys thoughts on the current state of assa in m+? I’m not a sin main since I do not have any clue but it always seems that sin lacks behind every other spec in every season. This season it started really well but was burned down afterwards with the nerfs.

#

It feels like sin always needs to much prep and too much attention to be viable. I love this spec, just curious what the experts think about this.

vestal wren
#

unless you want to push 28s or 29s it is irrelevant

#

assassination is fine, tuning is just lower than f.ex. #outlaw

rotund oak
#

i think ive found the specc that doesnt have a rotation

#

(kinda irrelevant but funny and real)

#

the rotation is basicly 2 lines 🤣

#

''rotation''

balmy condor

did you use any of the toggles

for like

single target rotation

yeah I mean beast mastery is famously a simple spec

rotund oak
#

why dont i just play bm

balmy condor
#

but 2 lines is a bit reductive idk

rotund oak
#

sry its basicly 3 my mind was focused on the quantity of spells used

balmy condor
#

yeh it's a lot of shorter/medium cooldowns

#

barbed shot is short cd
kill command is short cd
death chak is a medium ish

#

they got some cdr on stuff

#

they still gotta press buttons

#

but it's a lot of "press on cd" for sure

rotund oak
#

yup

#

idk man,ive tried BM on some keys now,as an ''escape'' from playing rogue 24/7

#

i just do 200k+ overalls 465ilvl

#

its so simple anyone can play it

balmy condor
#

yep

Do you always aim to be above 50% energy for sanguine blades?

spice spire
#

No

#

IIRC you want to envenom chain if you have 4 set over worrying about sanguine blades

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

My bets on sub/ol and it doubles down on the CDR or extra charges

tepid hornet
#

theoritically speaking, if i were to do this

#showtooltip
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Kingsbane
/cast Thistle Tea

thistle tea would cast after kingsbane?

brave gazelle
storm forum
#

Like 9-10 seconds after you cast kingsbane

tepid hornet
#

u mean after kingbane falls off?

#

ok

storm forum
#

Kingsbane lasts 14 Seconds iirc

brave gazelle
#

You tea and shiv with like 3 secs left of kB

tepid hornet
#

yes it does

#

if i were to macro tea on something, what could that be

#

or just dont?

storm forum
#

Yeah, tea mastery buff only lasts 5 or 6 seconds, it doesn't really line up well with anything for a macro

brave gazelle
#

Id keep it unmacroed personally,

storm forum
#

Shiv lasts 8 seconds, vanish at the end is 3

#

If you really don't have the button space, vanish would be better so it lasts for the final few ticks, but ideally don't macro it.

tepid hornet
#

i wont then

#

but we rly need thistle tea? i cant not take it?

brave gazelle
#

It's nice to use your extra tea charges every now and then when your low energy too, just make sure you save a charge for your burst

tepid hornet
#

so we need it xD

brave gazelle
#

Like all the top builds use it so if you wanna min/max then Defo imo

storm forum
#

I don't really look at the numbers, but I really like tea. It feels good and bails me out when I fuck up pooling for my non-DM kingsbane

tepid hornet
#

in terms of numbers what kind of dps loss would no tea make?

#

ill just have it though ok

brave gazelle
#

Resource management is massive as assassination, thistle also helps with that am

If you didn't use tea you'd probably have to go with a haste heavier build and that's not really ideal in the current "meta" of things

To get a number you'd have to sim it yourself aye but I'd reckon I'd be quite marginal for most players

clever sapphire
#

even if not for the mastery buff for the last 6 seconds

tepid hornet
#

what are some things that i should rly be tracking? in terms of buffs or whatever

#

not dots

#

neither cds

#

just buffs to maintain and such

clever sapphire
#

envenom is important imo because of the chaining

tepid hornet
#

aura stuff

clever sapphire
#

and thats about it i guess if you dont wanna track cds/dots

tepid hornet
#

no i do but i dont make weak auras for those

#

its mainly just dots and cds?

clever sapphire
#

!wa

clever sapphire
#

would also take a kingsbane wa

#

(im using notters)

#

it just tells you when to shiv/tea/vanish

#

really convenient

tepid hornet
#

i could use that i think

clever sapphire
tepid hornet
#

thanks!

brave gazelle
#

Buff wise you don't really have to worry about snd as envo will keep it up no problem, I don't think you'd need a w/a for any buffs, just for tracking CDs and bleeds

My advice is The thing that'll improve your skill as sin most imo is learning to pool energy so you can envenom back to back for the set bonus, other than doing that the rest of the rotation is pretty scriped so id just hit a target dummy for abit and get the muscle memory down

tepid hornet
#

very well

royal lantern
#

lets make it 70seconds cd aswell

#

just for fun

vestal wren

70 seconds with cdr

make playing sub even more of a headache with cd timings

On a different note my guild archived 5/9 mythic last night, big pog

# rotund oak do u think rogue suffers somewhat for alot of buttons to press

I think it kinda depends on what perspective you decide to take. Like assassination macros shadow dance, sub macros cold blood, so that “removes” a button, but if you’re just a casual player you probably won’t know that and the result would be everything on its own button. From that perspective I think yeah, it’s a bit much. The mutilate/ambush change is nice for that for assassination, but I think subtlety suffers a lot more from the bloat. Outlaw is spammy but the buttons aren’t actually that crazy, and you could kinda argue that lots of buttons all at once is sorta outlaws theme anyway. Assassination could do with maybe 1-2 buttons removed, sub probably 2 as well. I think the biggest stuff for that would probably be covenant abilities, cold blood/tea. Having something like sepsis for assa is kinda neat, but aberrus last tier showed how confusing it is to play, and it kinda filled the role we have now with kingsbane. On sub’s side it’s much less interesting as well. Bone spike on assa was cool in shadowlands, but we have other ways to aoe now and our ramp is long enough without trying to snipe and cleave bone spikes. It’s just not fitting into the spec. Echoing reprimand I respect a lot for trying to do something interesting with combo points, we don’t see a lot of combo point stuff in general, but at the same time it’s not all that exciting for any of the specs and 7 combo points is already something sub/outlaw have so it’s pretty ??????? In terms of cooldowns. Cold blood is just a dumb ability in general from an era where stuff like that was the interesting choice. That’s not the game anymore. Thistle tea kinda the same thing tbh. Without the mastery tacked on it’s pretty meh, and buffing the energy won’t do anything numerically and cause more headaches, it’s just not really a great button overall. You could also argue that we have a lot of non-rotation stuff, evasion, cloak, feint, vial, step, sprint. Those are a little more off-limits for people when talking about buttons to remove, but hell, removing healthstones or gateways would free up a space too for a lot of people.

From my personal perspective, I don’t think the specs are too bloated, but I’ve also been playing rogue since WoD and I got a ton of keybinds to work with so my perspective isn’t really all that important here since it doesn’t impact me. But it is a lot of buttons for a lot of players out there. Buttons a lot of the time add complexity, but stuff like cold blood, tea, they don’t really add complexity as much as they just add one more thing for your weakauras. I’d prefer stuff like the 4 set, sanguine blades, etc to help push complexity. Like blizzard could ditch all the covenant stuff and lean into pooling for assassination as a gameplay feature instead of the 1.5% dps it’s worth now. That would keep a part of the spec “complex” without adding any buttons, rotation altering without shoving shit like tea into it.

balmy condor

#

My least favorite talents with the old talent system when I didn’t have as expanded of a pallet of keybinds were the active talents

#

Because of the feeling of increasing bloat

#

(Old as in mop talents)

desert inlet
#

that's pretty old

#

mop was like 40 years ago i think

shy pecan
slate crown
#

For me the major challenge block for buttons is the GCD vs off GCD distinction. Having tons of buttons which are all on the GCD isn’t really a problem for me

#

Because you always have the GCD time to hit them and don’t have to combo them in sequence on the same GCD or between GCD

desert inlet
#

waiter!! more off gcd buttons please

slate crown
#

It’s why buttons like Symbols always tripped me up for finding a keybind when setting up sub

#

It’s also a problem for Dance for me, but dance has a very distinct flow for assa right now so it was easier to incorporate AND it’s used by all 3 specs so placing on the same keybind helped be flexible

quiet oar
#

This was actually a Problem when df came out for me

#

My sd bind Was the bte bind on my law

#

That one Was weird to adjust

#

And for sin ct was in the sd bind

slate crown
#

Not saying I don’t like off GCDs inherently, they’re just a part of the puzzle that can make things harder for setting up keybinds and managing button bloat

quiet oar
#

The Thing is, if you have many off gcd things it feels weird to play another class

#

Like i had often the Problem, when i played my monk thst i Pressed Tiger in gcd

#

And didnt realize it. Because im used to have my CDs offgcd

Hard agree. I don’t think I’ve actually felt this level of understanding of a spec before and it’s largely in part to how well you explain not just the what but the why. For me it’s really hard to lock it in when the best guides for a spec are essentially “do this because it make number big, end video

no you wanna pool on finishers instead of builders

just afk once at 4+ cp
