If u garrote garrote CT packs it is pretty big dmg with the proc even if they get 1shot
U can't do spatter cleave well until stuff lives ur full deathmark
I also try to offset my CDs from other DPS. For example in ataldazar I send only kingsbane first pack
Then I do deathmark in 2nd pack with colossus and rip 1m on the pack while the ret/bm with no CDs do 200k
yes
also if things are dying too fast then you're just not doing high enough keys
and if you're just doin weeklies then it does matter anyways
which route is this? going left first?
Ye
Most first pulls in low keys I won't use my deathmark
Unless it's a really big mob like dht bear or throne of tides sentinel
All the DPS use their shit and then I have a full pack where they have nothing to blast
I wanna start doing PvP but don’t know which modes are the best to learn. Suggestions?
Also how you get the talents next to your name lol
In normal games people would use skirmishes to learn, but people are toxic and are just assholes to newer players. Could just grind solo shuffle, or do battlegrounds until you feel comfortable stepping into arena
I did do a skirmish and beat a mage

He told me to kms so yeah def toxic
also if you have friends, could just play 2s
sounds about right
I had someone once tell me they're going to find me and fuck my dad right in front of me
that was definitely one of the most unique ones I've ever received lmao
My friends and family play Alliance scum
lol
HAH
I think you're able to queue cross faction
Oh really
so you can play with the stinky alliance players
Nice
At least we would have a balanced comp
One of each
Also I can’t play Ranked because my gear level is too low, how do I get better gear? Do I have to auction house or can I do world quests
my bad
wait imeant this one

does this mess with the overall at the end of a key?
just wondering, was asked and i could not answer
The only thing that you can't do with that dynamic overall damage script is grab the damage breakdown
im doing 23-24s mobs get deleted in seconds,looks like i need to go even higher 
my overalls are almost always above 300k
anyway,arterial shock is very fun
me like
there are like some pulls,like DHT 1st pull into lust or Rise last pull b4 endboss
u send DM and all

alo assa


when playing with ashes, do i hold it for a few seconds after casting KB or do i just macro it into KB?
where deathstalker and fatebound blogpost blozoord plox
Just macro it
thats what i did, just macro to KB and enjoy life
also, first time assassination in reclear yesterday after 500 sub pulls on tindral and fyrakk, thank god. 

i played sub for our whole smolderon/tindral prog. Im not willing to do it on fyrakk prog too, coming back to my roots
Surely we’ll kill tindral now that it’s nerfed 
its freeeee
trust
there is a high chance you will even skip p2 stuff
atleast we would have, seeing how we phased her at like 44% or so usually, and she phases automatically at 40%
just remember shmeeps, you wont kill it unless its your worst pull so far in all your trys
No we save those for our rl. I think he’s been dead on every CE kill for like 5 seasons

oh yeah, add 100 smolderon sub pulls on that, but 2 smolderon rekills as assassination 😄
i think assassination is pretty good on fyrakk aswell, especially now that you basically hold cds in P1
our raidlead benched himself for prog after he kept dieing on igira when we first got there. He has been an outside rl since
so sub kinda feels weird, not doing anything for 60 seconds
wait you hold cds 
ye
actually i could see it happen, if half of the group didnt die to the first movement shit
i didnt use a second set in P1, just farmed auto attacks and blasted intermission
well as assa i just wont send dm at like 74% probably 🤷♂️
since assassination doesnt need to hold and naturally lines with the intermission, its probably a good pick now
yeah you would hold like 20 seconds or something, which is fine
and then you can just use on cd
also one thing im hella confused about, when do i use my pot
depends what your raid needs, we used pot in intermission, but only rogues
cause they wanna bl at like 3:14 or some shit like that
guess its holding for shield in that case
we lusted at 7:30 or something
aight so fyrakk is legit a shitshow where everyone does different shit, got it 
well, nerfs did affect strats alot
depending on your comp you can do certains things or you cannot
only thing i hope is that im not on add duty, than i can jsut always send cooldowns on boss without much thinking
surely i wont need to hold cds for them if a sub rogue didnt need to hold them
and sin would probably do the same, cause sin does alot more dmg outside of cds than sub does, especially on the small adds
caustic stonks
well thinking about that is probably 1-2 raidnights away for me anyways
we didnt even get to shield on our first night on fyrakk 
well for progress we did commit cds on big adds
but slowly removed them
as everything got more stable
aight thx for the tipps
our mage and windwalker blasted the big adds
dunno if that naturally lines or something, but overall damage on those was enough so not everyone had to commit
so we could put more pressure on the boss in P2, where basically nothing happens

Ye I did more as sin than as sub
Both on boss and adds
With current timing
Cause our intermission exactly like 2 mins rn so it's bad timing for sub
haha bruh
you can just send on CD as assa
or hold a little bit if you want kingsbane/dm+kb for golems
depeends on the raid overall, but yeha, its not hard
Ye it's good
Depends if u wanna get flamed by raid or not
???
if you are told to use cds for golems, you do it
lol
you should be glad to do it
imagine blasting a colossus with all the small adds stacked underneath

i mean the difference is
"will you use kb on fyrakk and dm+kb on fyrakk again and ignore golems mostly"
or
"hold them for 10sec and use on golem"
thats it 
lorrgs made fyrakk look like a complicated fight regarding cooldowns
good thing you guys can explain it so easily

mate
idk why, but group is hardstuck on p1 fyrakk rn
endless barrage of stupid deaths, no real Progress
boss just feels bad to Fight
wait are you describing whats gonna happen to me tonight? 
wait i have the biggest brain idea, im gonna do magetower
warching a big angle appear 30sec into the pull and knowing "yep, one of those Pulls"
yes


tbf, i feel bad for Priests at this point
keep getting fucked by blizzards "no mobility is CLASS FANTASY!!!" bs
and then they make fights where Mobility is mandatory
and they just suffer or need a pocket evoker to carry them around
just have a shaman or a drood in the team man
for a roar or wrt
if priest had mobility they would be kinda busted
problem is the phase where you have to move in p1
but you get insane dmg
and for priests thats legit the worst case scenario
they cant really heal much
or they gotta pray that nobody premoved and feck them
nah fyrakk p1
not that they dont need an evoker to carry them through world in flames 
I think thats how many guilds feel
Its like raszageth
same but on the first add wave, using all the knockbacks and shit correctly is gonna be our downfall lol
eh, its imo just
that kind of boss 2x in a row is one
why? the nerfs were pretty substantial
why fyrakk hp nerf when blaze dmg is what kills most guilds during Progress right now as an example
cause they want you to still be gud just make the damage check less severe
and the corrupted seed nerf is huge for P3 prog
that corrupted seed nerf

then couple it with the HP nerfs across the board
that boss is going to end up easier than heroic by the time they're done with it
If they keep nerfing him they better do it before we hit 200 pulls
Tindral nerf came 1 week after we killed it
Madge
those latest tindral nerfs were sooooooo lame
all they do is fuck with my cd timers god damnit
and it doesn't even fix the issues the guilds progging it still have 
you just ensure they dont have to play the 7 min set
bro have you seen what veneration does
lmao
I wonder why their gm is the only one doing aoe 
ahaha
its too good
only draft yourself for the last two bosses
let the other rogue fly
put warlock on destro
play ungodly pad with double tornado in p1 and p2
rank 2 log
never play it again
sin AOE is to slow to compete with the more burst heavy classes so you dont rly go for it and play for prio dmg and cleave of that target with spatter
also post rework and with our current Tierset tempest is just a pretty low value button
is blessing of autumn good for assa?
How do you guys play counsil of dreams Raid boss encounter? Do you try to keep bleeds up with all 3 bosses or just concentrate the one that needs to get dont at that moment?
or doesnt it just screw up dm and kb timings
no unless you get multiple
Run IC and stay on the boss the rest of the group is focusing
thsnk!
keep dots up on 2 atleast through ic and just make sure envenom hits both, say inshallah that your pi isnt frogged
All the ones that don’t play sub 😂
What's the best way to sim assa for m+?
D Slice is good enough
Boooo
Hey guys, 3-4 weeks into PvE still new, primarily myth. Dumb question, it feels we are really struggling in myth? my ret alt seems to be doing tremendous more overall dps with much less effort...
are there some tricks for our myth?
Sin isn't amazing at M+, but I wouldn't say it struggles at it
Outlaw is certainly better at it
But Outlaw is one of the top specs for it
The struggles of sin are if stuff dies too fast, you will feel/look bad
yeah that's surely true
but even when stuff doesn't die too fast, i still feel struggled purely from dps number stand point
Could be a skill issue then. However, ret is very strong right now and way easier to play in M+
I mean when I paired with double ret, yeah, i got no dmg...
everything dead before our setup lol
If you were gonna pick a key pusher, it'd be the ret
"easy too play" is a understatment for ret 
Still can't believe ret got away with getting buffed
what crying 24/7 that you are unplayable while actually beeing tuned really high and just having a bit weird split in the spec tree does to a class
like, all that was bad on ret, is that they have a weird "you nneed to heavy focus on aoe or ST" split on the tree
and blizz just giga buffed them instead of trying to solve that

Ret is disgustingly easy to play
I mean like my last myth at 20 dawn, sin did only 170K dps at 482 ish and i felt i tried really hard. but i did the same with ret alt when i was on a call with 270 without orange weapon or dragon head trinket..
so i was wondering if i did something super stupid with my sin rogue
friends have been making fun of my prime char....
it speaks for good design
I press shiny buttons
the spec is strong even if played intuitively

what is not the case with rogue, esp. not with sub
enjoy your below tank dps if you do so
assa is a lot to juggle as well in aoe if you're not comfortable with the spec
our aoe takes some setup (also this week probably never able to re-stealth)
but even with all setup, the dmg seems still just alrigth?
I'm assuming you're pugging as well
restealths aren't as important as people think they are, but also if your tank chain pulls poorly it's actually just pain
yeah some tanks do
but - - i mean as i said, even perfectly setup
i feel the aoe peaks only around 250-300k?
or am i doing something dumb
i am using the 'hybrid' build
as long as you're keeping up bleeds, and keeping up caustic spatter in aoe you're pretty much doing everything you can
yeah
just assassination is very uninspiring dps wise after the repeat nerfs
with garrote/rupture on multiple and CT on all, then just casustic spatter
even with KB on main target
i feel the aoe just peaks at 250-300
the uninspiring aoe is also why you'll see a lot of assassination rogues dropping crimson tempest altogether
which seems to be quite low?
press glowly buttons or when something is not on CD you press it
congratz, you now play the dps part of ret 80% correct

final verdict before damage and just press everything that lights up
ggs
btw oxi, wanna play a short game
look at the templar hero tree for paladins
and take a shoot everytime you see the word "hammer"
no offense, i just did a few packs with more than 1M dps with probably 3 btns on ret alt
kinda annoying that my sin dps is always lowest among friends in myth
the weekly myth data also seems to show we are worst 2 specs
just double checking with homies if i am doing anythign really wrong
😂 wasn't trying to do sin in pve, but first few myth runs freinds dragged me to gave me all sin gear
so "_
my biggest problem is that blizz just says "we dont do balance patches anymore" after 2 months
like bruh
well the pvp no balance is more ... bruh
my biggest problem is them balancing specs based on heroic raid
if you're in a somewhat serious guild, how are you going to ask your RL to give you PI over a BM Hunter or UHDK just to do less damage than sub
it's less raid DPS
don't worry they also balance pvp based on awc players, eseentially top0.1%
keeping nerfing sub rogue to a level 98% of sub players just cannot play
makes sense
and that also helps to buff DH more ahha
why not piss off the majority of your playerbase
to eliminate the only spec they are afarid of
Yeah I think they are lack of visions
and wisdom...
It feels like a job they don't enjoy, just trying to shut the fuck up of biggest cryer with short term solutions
after watching ret pally one shot people for over half of SL
and nothing being done about it for months
I lost interest in pvping lol
That was the last time i tried pvp and it basically ended my entire interest in it lmao
Yep
fun
oh, they pressed wings and then divine toll
Outplayed
and I went from 100% health to death in 1.5s
they're just the better player ig
esp when they can blinding light and not break it 
cause all their damage is holy
Lets not forget the absurd amounts of tankiness and cc behind that also
Well balanced
oh you remember when fury warrior was unkillable in 2s?
fury/enhance
was just unkillable lmfao
fury and enhance were outhealing healers in arena
10/10 would rather play in traffic
I used to pvp a lot, now I just pick a spec to play in shuffle so I can get the vicious mount.
rogue pvp is always the no.1 attraction to me in wow:)
i don't enjoy playing lock that much somehow
I get 1800 for the mog and then quit for my sanity
i dont even do that anymore
isnt soloq queue times like 2hours at this point
more 20-30 mins mark
depends on spec
i think overall solo queue tries to avoid same spec in same lobby
not confirmed but from millions of games and queues i think that's real
for me some less popular dps spec gets much quicker queues
like my DH alt lobby queue is always super long and ends up with double DH in lots of lobbies (roughly 2400 MMR)
does shadowmeld not improve garrote damage?
No
I know you shouldent compare stats to much but with this diffrence it makes me curious. When i look at murlok.io sub rogues got +100% mastery. I got around 55% and i did a sim on raidbots. 232k on sub single target build and the best gear was the same gear as i have on assasination. So im just wondering why most sub rogues have that high mastery then
you running branch?
yes
Does Sub still have its baseline 50% mastery?
Yes think so
Well then yeah that's why
Sub starts with 50% Mastery, highest in the game I believe
Yep
Assassination starts at like... 10-15%?
Combat at 20%
It just seems to be really really high
Sub really really loves mastery
Also sub just sims alot higher than assa
naturally also
but to answer your question without these weird takes
running branch will incentivise your sim to not run as much mastery gear because branch gives you all the mastery already
so by running branch you will automatically have less mastery gear equipped
And if my sim were on 232k lets say that i have another 50% mastery then. Would it really improve that much on dps? Compared to my 55%
okey
I mean the answer really is always sim it but probably
And ashes is a better option for sub spec then branch cos of the cd´s?
Ashes is better because it’s on demand and front loaded and branch takes time to gather orbs so it can be a little funky to use
For sub
my sim said ashes over branch
because i had blue silken lining and a loooot of mastery
Also sub doesn’t care about haste either so the haste loss post use doesn’t matter to them as much
but fun fact people in sub channel will probably give a better answer to sub questions
maybe fuu will even see it, not sure if he always checks assa channel
does anyone have any WA that shows him cloak of shadow is active?
(except the basic WAs pack obv)
nah but just take any spell out of your wa, copy it, change the spell from x spell to cloak
and bam you got your cloak wa
yeah i could make it, but i thought maybe someone has something that looks good
My sim says branch, but i got branch myth and ashes in hero so mabye thats why
I use Quazii WA and cloak of shadows is shown on the buff bar when its active
found something decent on wago
https://wago.io/ry6xU8C4m
we saw fyrakk shield already
LETSGOOOOO
wiped cause people are too dumb to go to their spots
and soak a ball
Does Whyspyr still offer rogue mentoring?
Maybe its an Bamboozle?
Or he coaches you Sports?
bowling coaching only
hell nah, i aint got the money for that
and i dont want his eyes to bleed

aight new struggle found, intermission orb WA is scuffed
people getting assigned to spots they arent supposed to be at
and people with spots according to note getting set as backup
woohooo
i love weakaura bosses
just foind that guy from a few weeks back who said you dont need WA and anything you can do with a WA you can do without. He might have a good suggestion for you

the 2023-2024 raid experience
i joined this guild on echo of neltharion prog
they struggled with WA there
now im back here
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
can't wait
every night of echo prog it was "woops my WA is broken" and 30+ mins fixing it.. Next night. "woops my WA is broken" same offenders over and over
or the next part of intermission progress

people needing to count the number of orbs
and you realise that most people cant count

Guild name fitting

What does that even mean



bruh u think this is bad
its automatic now
when u had to hit macro it was 100000000000000x worse
we havent had any issue since the change to make it not private
except that 99% of raiders suck at downloading a WA
before there were wrong assignments every night
so you still wipe 20x cus of wa
true
"guys, we posted a wa in raid channel, download it before the raid pls"
We relcear rn
for us people getting assigned as backup or dunno
what is backup
we dont have backups
ye thats the problem
we have 9 people assigned
we use northern sky idk
ah
same
northern sky is comfy
has hard assinged places for everyone
always the same 1-2 spots
its not a hard assign but ur always same side in the same 1-3 spots
all 20 people
healers are unassigned
well liquid has you assign 9 people around the boss, and rest should get assigned randomly
we use the full liquid pack except for fyrakk intermission, northern sky there
works better imo
aight gonna suggest it maybe
ye idk northern sky worked flawlessly for us since the change
not a single WA problem
The talent Doom blade, is it not worth using? lets say instead of venom rush
nah
Okey, i dont think ive seen any taleny build with doom blade. And never used it myself, mabye it dosent increase the damage that much.
i mean the easiest answer, if it would e good it would have been found out already
but you can always just sim it and see for yourself
Prob yes. And what about twist the knife? To help to be above 50% energy and keeping env buff up, Prob same answer there i supose?
being above 50% energy doesnt matter really, we dont play around sanguine blades
I know that, ive read that with env you should wait untill its needed again., so thats why i thougt, if possible to keep both up why not
but with combo points you should not wait ofc.
And some dps guides on youtube is saying to keep above 50% outside kb/dm window. So just some thougts and i were curious.
that's because doomblade sucks, honestly if doomblade was halfway decent we'd always be playing sepsis
just an undertuned talent unfortunately
we dont have sbs is sepsi ok?
if sepsis stays until next expansion, im honestly dissapointed
(im gonna be dissapointed)
cant wait for the incomming sepsis based tierset 🙂

I mean sepsis is more interesting than a lot of our other talents
nah fuck that
no ty

no more utility/defensives in spec trees
that's a horrible fucking idea
the fact that there's any damage in the class tree is a disaster
either remove it from all spec trees or give assa some
not this half half
where assa is baseline kit
agreed
and outlaw/sub are immortal
spec trees are where the damage should be
class trees are where utility/defensive options should be
that does make sense
considering they pruned all of the baseline shit to make these trees it makes no sense for what was once baseline to be scattered across class and spec trees
I wouldn’t mind like dust being a utility CDR for all and giving all of us % vers as a class tree thing 
quick desicions

surely they won't overinvest into a borrowed power system that'll get trashed at the end of the new expac
We keep IW tho it’s goated
considering we're the only ones with garrote
I cant wait for this tier set to go away
that'd be an odd one to have on the class tree wouldn't it
I hate the gameplay so much
hope you're taking a break after this tier then
cause nothing's changing in fated BUD
its NOT borrowed power, they said so
its

CLASS FANTASY
of you beeing FATEBOUND
isnt that why you play rogue?????????
I play rogue because I suck at everything else
It’s most likely staying until end of world soul saga
So hero talents extended from one diamond to 3
and then you get 2 of the passive talents nobody cared about into the class tree, 1 spec gets the active one into the spec tree and they pat themself on the shoulders for making a EvErGrEeN SyStEm

like srsly, its so obvious in some cases
ofc the COLLOSUS WARRIOR POG demolish ability will turn into a arms talent at some point
what a shocker
Ill just keep playing sub lol
Sucks tho
We got superior sin for a bit then blizz just took it away
Fatebound is going to be pog
im leaning towards sub to..
inb4 Fatebound is all about using lockpicking for DPS
On tyranical weeks do people here play more arterial precision kb type ofst builds on keys or a ct with sudden demise one builds? Or does the dungeon itself determn it more? 🙂
Or if you got a good supplier of poisons to do damage they say they should or not. 👀
why are queue times so long
people simming vault goodies? 🙂
i mean for pvp
oh 😄
who plays pvp
fym who plays pvp
its dead thats why its so long
Ain’t no one pvping
idk why thats always such a discussion lmao
"omg queue broken thats why its so long"
no, nobody plays that shit mode, thats why
i think it should be quite obvious why the queue takes three hours
@acoustic pagoda
is there any way to see total dps in dungeons
so i can flex on someone who says rogue bad
details should snap over to overall at the end automatically
ahh i shoulda waited longer then
if you have it set to overall it'll also update after every pull
sometimes you'll see 2 windows, one for current pull, one for overall
and one for kicks and one for deaths and one for healing. my whole screen is actually just different details windows
I refuse
don't you have a dragon to wipe to
Its Thur, I just sit bored at my desk
new guild slowly gets into p2 on a regular


dragon wipes will end some day
but dragon wipes are the heart and soul of wow
yeha, but i still want a tier to be over at some point
tbh, could be finished allready 2-3 weeks ago, but w/e

Hi, which spec of Rogue is most suitable for raiding?
Okay, thank you!
8/9m thank the hell we're off Tindral
Didnt you kill last week?
Yeah that means we get to kill it again this week
Eh
I wiped us at 6%
Cause the move I have to do for push 3
Is really sketch
It is what it is

what happened to all the pins?
haven't had a need for a pin
patch has basically been over for the last month or so
What would you want from a pin at this time anyway? Theres no news, nothing new happening
Its just the guides
Based
garrote only to build combo points into ambush during the kingsbane window ?
Guys, with aertial shock build, do you still save shivs for the KB duration. Thinking to try this build now as with cleave, I serm to drop on m+ dps quite alot. Many thankd 😃
Old info is still info, was curious where many months of patches went and info. If info just disappears it leads to questions hence why i asked @spice surge whether relevant or not
that info gets incorporated into the wowhead guide i'd imagine, and seeing as it's no longer a recent change is it necessary to have a pin telling you that something's changed when really it's more likely everything has changed so the simple answer is... read the guide
also a 20% nerf to kingsbane has zero effect on the gameplay, so no need to know that it was ever 20% more
yeh I mean nothing changed
the only thing that changed was +0.2% from playing tight spender
that was in the pins for about a month
and then went into the wowhead guide
and gg
idk how much longer you're expecting info to stay in the pins
when literally nothing is changing
i wanna see the BFA pins pls. the hotfix to some random azerite power interests me

only slight doom
pin the store page for last epoch
Pin a picture of the feint icon

watching my friend suffering trought his first real work day is fun, ngl
Guys I crave the stabbing
is first set of bombs better for tindral? im assigned second and i cant use 2nd kingsbane
Yes
Ask ur RL to swap
2nd bomb set cucks rogues in general
You can do it but it's a lot worse
Especially if u play assa
thanks gonna ask for swap

Sadge state of affairs

Trying to dabble in sin, guessing i shouldn't be dry af on energy most the time? xD
in ST raid build that is
Dont spam, just maintain
but i feel like enevenom drops off sooo quick. Ik to not send on low CP but damn
That's cause ur spamming it when u have energy
Wait till pandemic each time
U can have like 80%+ uptime
I look at volocross logs people have like 95% uptime on it
ahh right okay, thanks
Can we get a pin about why there are no new pins plz
Game hasn't changed
It's was /s
sorry whats pandemic 😅
!pandemic
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
lmao thanks
these blindside procs are sooo nice
ambush proc into proc into proc into proc just hits different
just started learning it today, seems a lot more relaxed than sub
althought i dont really understand why thisle tea HAS to be in the last 6 seconds
of KB
the mastery buff
All the damage of kb is in the last 6 seconds
Thats why we tea last 6 seconds for the mastery, vanish last 3 seconds for the crit chance
ahhhh i see
is this random splash of green that procs from poison bomb?
bro im liking this a little too much
probably
I don't like how poison bomb hides swirlies on occasion
If we don't see a spatter effect I don't see why we should see a poison bomb effect
just dodge the red swirlie under the dk D&D, paladin concencration, druid efo and your own poisonbomb
dont see the problem tbh
Poison bomb on first boss in Tott + swirls is sooo fun x)
No shit sherlock, cant see shit under so many effects 🤣🤣
The slime boss in dawn:fall. Are those my puddles?
Is assas actually giga bad in m+? Or is it overblown, like the wow community usually does, considering gearing my rogue as a m+ alt
Assa is fine unless you're trying to push the very tippy top keys
Then its a survivability issue not a damage one
Eh, I mean I’ll probably go to 3200ish.
Oh interesting. Dam is competitive. But just a bit squishy. TIL
Compared to the other rogue specs for sure
It’s more that damage doesn’t really matter
Assas had good prio burst but overall generally not gonna be as high as pirate. But yeah the limiter is the survivability. Not a vers stacking spec, no restless blades for evasion, and no 5% stam or 4% vers nodes
I just have 0 desire to play a pirate spec. Used to play combat way back… but now? Nah
Sub is cool, I’ve just always preferred assas
Outlaw was tolerable in Legion, though I still liked combat better - but they just made it worse with each expansion changes since then. 🤮
I just switched to pirate to push for title. Pretty fun iteration rn. I’m too burned out to go learn sub tho
I also just don’t want another giga fast paced melee alt. I have a fury warrior. I don’t need a fury warrior with a pistol
100% this
Outlaw slander
what dmg do u guys get on openers after 480 ilvl?
You make me sick

is it for raid fights with adds worth to get indescriminate and hold vanish just for add spawn to dot them
IC is only worth on fights with consistent 2t+ where stuff doesn't die
Aka council this tier
so not for adds
There’s no fight in the current raid that would necessitate that. And I imagine there will always be better classes to burst adds than an Assas rogue forced into carnage.
You just give up too much
No, assa no longer hits adds except for spatter and envenom cleave
And if you’re holding vanish for adds then you’re kind of dicking your cooldowns
so on the adds i dont try to dot i just fan of knives while theyre alive and focus on boss
Yeah
You don’t even really have to fan but technically you should what 3+? 4+?
Something like that
Just just spatter do the heavy lifting and focus on ST
so i should take spatter on all fight's that arent pure ST?
not internal bleed
yea
yea take spatter
haste affects tick rate?
of dots?
haste sims the highest for me now and my mastery 2nd
That’s pretty normal
and i only have 27% mastery
All of the stats are pretty good for Assas

To stop details from resetting on vanish, go into the settings and under Overall Data, make sure "Use Dynamic Overall Damage" is checked.

my kingsbane is my 1st top dmg and envenom 2nd
i should be envenoming more?
in general on raid bosses i mean
Send it during CDs, don’t clip outside without capping on energy is the general rule
no i mean my envenom should be my most dmg on a fight?
No
Depends on length of fight and stuff but usually it’s gonna be KB or probably even a bleed actually
Call an expert witness though. I’m just suffering through Fyrak prog finally
kinda depends what view you're looking at
like you look at this
is envenom the highest?
what about now
How is assa timing wise on TIndral when doing first feathers every platform? usually play sub but thinking bout mixing it up
you do fast Opener and then its just send on cd for the rest of the fight
they need to buff assass
not really
xd
super fast opener so you get a full KB at the end of P1
you can use a normal setup or a fast one at the start of p2. I like using a slow one so i can grab a seed before my 2nd KB without delaying it too much. but I don't think it matters.
otherwise you're kinda just rippin on CD
liar
have you looked at heroic stats recently
i want out of key prison
I want out of m+ queue prison
What's stopping you? 😛
need more IO

Gimme some of that io
just rly unlucky with the keys or havent played much since you miss 2 of the "easy" 30s
we barely play
i have deplated 6 DHT +29s this week

missed dht 28 by 7 sec last week, cause I potted at 3% on third boss and couldn't shroud with the hp pot dot
Stealthi-sham
Stealth-is-ham
Steal-this-ham
Which one is it huh
you already know its the 3rd one
Last one could be us but you always playin
Smh
Your ham aint the only thing in stealing buddy

Ain't no one stealing Stealthi's ham

how based is this guy
only if he doesn't steal the ham
not bad ilvl for a guy that has been max lvl for 5 days
based on what
Stealthi’s ham
are we mid pack again?
Hey it's Stealth i sham
Friends, have I always been unhinged?
🤔
I’m gonna laugh about this every time I think about if for a solid 3-6 months
not even 32's
with getting stats and stuff for m+, do i do patchwerk or dungeon slice? and how long for dungeon slice?
raidbots?
yes?
i was using simulationcraft
yea i was
no wonder your questions sounded like they came out of 2017
i am from that time, i only just started playing again
makes sense then yeh
cept used shadowcraft and stuff
simc is the same thing raidbots uses?
raidbots is a cloud server user interface with simulationcraft as the engine
you could technically run all the stuff raidbots does locally on your system through the standalone client
but you'd have to do it through CLI
ya its faster and easier raidbots
cause the GUI sucks and hasn't been updated in half a decade
and raidbots has like
35 features
that the actual simc couldn't dream of
so
if you're quick enough with CLI scripts to automate stuff that raidbots does automatically and have a threadripper in your rig
might be able to be half as efficient as raidbots
but I don't particularly recommend doing any of that
i think my dps being low is just a skill issue and not my stats
usually a good assumption
i suck at using branch properly and i suck at using cd's in trash pulls
but these are like +11 to +16s
the trash dies so quick but i dont like doing over +16's pugging
even in 25s things die too quick
well im 476 ilvl. for m+ what stats would u run, with a branch? if i cant use brnahc properly doing the pickup and wait for lasat one right, will branch not be as good as other trinks?
should i stay using branch or switch to another trink?
if you have branch, you build everything except mastery
if you want to not use branch you'd use ashes
if you use ashes you'd build everything including mastery
yes
that's just an assassination thing
the builds play pretty much identically as well rotationally
you're just shuffling damage either into or out of kingsbane/bleeds
the arterial build moves it out of kingsbane/caustic, into bleeds
cleave moves it out of bleeds and into kingsbane/caustic
hybrid is some goop in the middle
dungeonslice on raidbots is showing my neck thgat has high vers/low crit, is simming lower then neck that has high mastery/low haste?
makes sense to me
but i thought mastery u dont want with branch?
yeh but vers kinda sucks too
so it's a battle of "is the DR from the branch worse than a bad stat"
if something like a neck or ring
which has 0 main stat
just has a bunch of vers
it's pretty common that it loses
to kinda everything
like if it were crit > vers on the neck
probably huge neck
but just a big glob of vers blows real bad
so crit/haste gear is wat id want?
you'd want whatever sims higher
mm ok
depends on all your other gear
i dont have raidbots premium lol
crit is good, mastery is good, haste is good, vers is slightly less good
having branch gives you an actual fuck ton of mastery, so mastery will usually be valued lower with it
tbh most of the time it's just equip highest ilvl and then fix the stats with gems and enchants and call it a day
any more than that is kind of pointless minmax for the most part
weirdly enough, damage ends up being the least important thing this patch
especially in m+
your group is going to get 1 shot by unavoidable casts or wipe to just being dumbasses long before you miss a timer from a lack of damage
raid is sort of going that path atm this late in the patch
got guilds holding dps on fyrakk because they would simply push the boss too fast otherwise and not have healer cds
yeh
I'm just saying like
even in 27/28's and higher end mythic raids
damage is a dime a dozen
ill just buy raidbot premium so i can sim diff gem/chants
Buy raidbots premium so you can do gem sims once a week just for fun like me
fuck me my wow subscription ran out during a m+ and now i cant top it up for some reason
lucky it was an 11+ and theyll be fine. but fuck blizzards payment shit is a headache, it wont accept one of my cards and it wont work with paypal for some reason either
☝️
!mut
Ambush is currently only used with non-venthyr builds using subterfuge
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3) and it's interaction with Flagellation.
You also have to consider the additional poison application chances. Ambush is not considerably worse or better in any situation, so you aren't losing out on much if you don't use it.
Updated.
Did assa have flagellation?
i guess its quite hard to play right and you need to play right to compite on dps.
Often when I plan to start to make my damage rotation something always occurs like turning into a duck or boss charges away 😄
also this week on pugs hard to get into re-stealh on m+ and thus cant carnage if i used my SD on previus pack
atm I kinda have love hate relationship with this spec. Feels really nice when you manage to pull that big KB window correctly but also hate when things turn into chaos 😄
during shadowlands yeah
if only restealths mattered, this would be a problem
but yeh
generally if you don't get a deathmark+kingsbane off
it's a bit sad
!mut
yeah that also hard when doing 20 keys, mobs melt so fast
ye
should be higher but then i melt faster as I am not so familiar with all the dungeon mechanics atm
also i tried to use focus kicker macero bad man 😄
too hard for me so i usually target on caster with low usually lower hp
to be ready to kick it
I really like the bfA assa, felt nice
the only thing that matters is you 

idk I think like
world peace is up there
open-mindedness
or like, the concept of shelter
clean water
an emotional support network
plenty of things
My lack of bitches is assa's biggest problem
You sound like my therapist
mr whispyr sir
completely irrelevant
but
would it be hard to make a giph an emote?
idk if its possible but i think it looks fun for some occassions 😅
damn trying to recraft some gear for assa from sub, am i supposed to sim 30k more on sub even without externals? my 1t 5min sim as sub (in sub gear) says 247k but my 1t5min assa says 216k?
Yes
assa this down bad rn?
assa always sims low
and yes assa also kinda bad rn
assa with pi doing 10k less dmg then sub without externals is "fun"
@spice spire look at this communist wanting people to be housed with clean water and mentally healthy
man this weeks feels extra hard 😄
what builds you guys playing on m+ range 19-20? 😄
used aerterial shock on thicklet 20 and might be lack of experience but damn was hard to keep up with palas 😄
thinking to go to cleave without CT build for this week just to get more st deeps on the bosses.
you will always struggle to keep up with paladins lol
ret is overbuffed OP rn
and assa dps is kinda stinky when stuff diess fasst
heh yeah but last week i kinda could hold more on my own, maybe not so great paladins but won many of them with even higher item level 🙂
yeahg this true that i just noticed m8
last week maybe with forti, i got KB to the last tick more often
