I also don't like the projectile cp delay it has

#

Does acro increase radius of spatter?

royal lantern
#

no

dark token
#

It also doesn't increase range of carnage iirc

#

I wish it did so it's somewhat useful to grab acro as sin

#

Rn it's a big DPS loss and you gain basically nothing in keys except kick range

just gotta throw it 2 globals before you want the cp

Hi, a question, I'm starting smolderon mythic with my guild, what trinkets should I use with my rogue? assa

clever sapphire
#

ashes/branch and second trinket is just a stat stick

#

the one that sims the highest for you

grim tree
#

i have glasses 489

#

if all my targets have garrote do i re apply? whats' the rule on that? Dont we want it to run its course or is that only in KB window?

spice spire
#

This is a question that’s resolved at the very basis of our understanding of the spec, this is a guide question, unfortunately

storm forum
#

outside of stealth/dance, if the gar is buffed by stealth, we let it run out and then reapply it ASAP. If it's a normal unbuffed gar we can reapply it within the pandemic window, which is like with 5 seconds left

warm ravine
#

I think i need like a plater or something idk.. thats hard to keep track in aoe

runic hinge
#

#

You play around cds very heavily

#

So you slam Dance and Vanish on cooldown as much as possible

#

and you would want to reapply Garrotes during those windows

#

even if the dots are not in pandemic or about to run out

warm ravine
#

i think im just stuck on the enh/ele sham where spreading dots is imperative. This build we focus target and spread our bleeds etc off the focus target? I shouldn't be needing to tab target around as much as i am?

limber lion
#

What matters more is using garrote on cooldown as much as possible outside of cds, maintaining the Envenom chain for Spatter + 4p and using cooldowns (mainly KB with Spatter) as much as possible

limber lion
#

If there's less than 8 targets, you don't really benefit from swapping around every time you garrote/rupture when IC is up

#

You can minmax it by targetswapping on 6 targets and 8+ targets, but other than that it doesn't really matter

#

Playing around target counts optimally with the IC mechanic literally rewards you with a single gcd

#

which is kinda whatever and not probably something you should even think about too much in the beginning

#

Just slam stuff on cd, spam Garrote/Rupture on one target to spread it to everything

#

Maintain everything, play the 4p cycle correctly, maintain Spatter at all times as much as possible on the chunkiest target in the pack

#

That's about it.

warm ravine
#

ok ill stop nuking it lol

royal lantern
#

most things in the current m+ season dont really survive long enough for garrote multidotting anyway

#

energy+scent of blood

limber lion
#

On which part?

#

For AoE it's mainly just Scent of Blood to get to 5 targets to fully utilize it

digital venture
#

So for m+, aoe scenarios when I play with IC I just focus on keeping Garrote and Rupture on CD and don't bother target swapping at all?

limber lion
#

It's very typical for our spec to want to maintain Garrote, Rupture and CT on as many targets as possible, but with current tuning it's not really worth going above 5 Ruptures because every Rupture cast is a wasted Envenom cast.

limber lion
#

But outside of IC windows you would have to manually spread it

digital venture
#

Interesting, I was trying to spread it as much as I could in aoe during dance but I guess focusing on 4p and envenom uptime will grant more damage instead of wasting globals on ruptures

limber lion
#

Yeah, you want to Garrote as much as possible but only Rupture up to 5 targets

#

The #1 most important thing in mythic+ is spamming cds as much as possible

#

that's the most common error people make

#

where they hold cds for too long

#

With dance and KB being only 1 min, there's no need to hold them pretty much ever

digital venture
#

I usually spam KB and dance together on CD but I have a hard time managing vanish and mark. How can you tell when it's the right time in a pack vs not having for a boss?

limber lion
#

If you can't make up your mind, it's better to just use it instead of holding it

#

An improper use is still better than not using it at all

#

You should only hold cds if you're actually sure that it's beneficial to do so

#

Spamming cds should be the default

#

Unless you're pushing pretty high keys, at least in the 18-22 range you rarely ever get to use Deathmark and other cds more than once per boss fight anyways.

digital venture
#

Thanks. I just dinged 70 and doing the first few m+ of the season and noticed I did better playing assa só I stayed in this spec and I love he play style so far 🙂

limber lion
#

Great! There's a reason why I've played this spec as my main spec the past 5 years.

#

Have fun!

royal lantern
#

the tl:dr is really just

at pull start you multi dot with IC to spread some bleeds out, and then its just "st a guy and cleave with splatter, keep bleeds on big priority targets"

limber lion
#

Tryan is talking about the initial pull

royal lantern
#

^

digital venture
#

Last time I played wow retail was when legion was current and I also played assa. Loved those big poison bomb procs. Something about the sound and the feel of the spec and this plays very similarly

royal lantern
#

most of the time, stuff wont really live longer then that rn tbh

limber lion
#

That happens pretty much everytime you pull a pack and you have cds ready

#

Yep

limber lion
#

I guess some people really did like poison bomb

limber lion
#

I wasn't a big fan because our damage was entirely reliant on an rng proc that you couldn't control whatsoever

#

Definitely felt good whenever it did proc on a huge pack

#

but didn't feel like it was because of me or my ability

royal lantern
limber lion
#

just the planets lining up every blue moon

indigo epoch
#

Feels less important now that it happens so often though.... I do still dig pb though

royal lantern
#

i had a pull once on a boss where PB procced 6x in a row on pull

limber lion
#

It feels less important because it does 1% damage

royal lantern
#

i did more dps then the entire raid combined

#

cus of a rng proc

limber lion
#

But in Legion it did 60%-70% of your damage

digital venture
#

I don't know what it was. I believe it was all the numbers in the screen or the yellow bar in the dps metter going wild. Also I know this sounds stupid but the sounds of the spec really sound like how a rogue should be. 😅

#

Nowadays it isn't as big as in legion. My top DMG is splatter in m+ along with garrote and rupture. But the feeling of the proc is still there mby why I'm digging it so much

limber lion
#

Rupture shouldn't probably be up there, but having Spatter and Garrote top the meters is a good sign

clever sapphire
#

lovely

digital venture
#

I'm playing without 4p. Gonna try to get it today and will just stop rupturing so often and go for envenom uptime rather for the explosion

#

I believe that's why my Rupture is so up there rn

limber lion
#

Yupyup

#

good practice to already start pooling and thinking about Envenom chains

digital venture
#

Will keep that in mind and the 5 target rupture

#

Is there ever a time or week that we play with CT and the bleed talents for more bleed dng and agy or we just get IC?

limber lion
#

You always play IC

#

You can play a more bleed-focused build that takes CT and Sudden Demise

#

Instead of going all in on KB/DTB/Spatter

#

It works very well on lower keys where packs don't live long enough for KB to tick up the entire way through

digital venture
#

But it isn't as good right cuz everyone is literally melting the adds

limber lion
#

Sudden Demise + CT is better than Spatter KB on lower keys for that reason

#

because you just gar/gar/ct

#

and then the pack is already dead

#

and your sudden demise gets value from the garrotes and ct

#

whereas if you played Spatter you wouldn't have enough time to setup the KB cooldown combo

#

I personally play Sudden Demise + CT in Everbloom everytime I venture there

digital venture
#

Interesting

#

Will give the SD + CT build a run sometime

limber lion
#

In higher keys, like +25's you probs would always just run spatter/kb/dtb combo

#

because stuff lives barely long enough for KB to take full effect

digital venture
#

But I've seen the most popular builds go IC only along with KB so I played with it by default

limber lion
#

Huh?

#

You always take both with every build

#

You always take KB and you always take IC

#

in Mythic+

digital venture
#

Sorry not familiar with the terms

limber lion
#

There's no choice there

digital venture
#

There's a build with KB and IC

limber lion
#

Every single build in the world for mythic+

#

is a build with KB and IC

#

Because every build takes those 2 talents

digital venture
#

And another with KB, IC, the bleed buff

limber lion
#

Yeah

digital venture
#

That also takes KT

dark token
#

He prob means the cleave build

subtle tundra
#

there's like 4 builds that all perform relatively the same

digital venture
#

That bleed based one wasn't showing up as the most popular spec in world of logs so I never used it but seen it showcased in some guides

dark token
#

People copy pasta high keys builds without thinking

subtle tundra
#

the tank pulling properly is way more important

limber lion
dark token
#

Just run the AP + sudden demise CT build in all keys until you know better

digital venture
dark token
#

Crimson tempest

limber lion
#

CT

subtle tundra
#

😭

digital venture
#

That!

limber lion
#

If you play Sudden Demise, you also play CT

subtle tundra
digital venture
limber lion
#

There's 4 builds in Wowhead that you can just copy and paste and try out

#

They all perform similarly

#

SD + CT a lot better in lower keys

#

And builds without SD better in higher keys

#

My personal fav is Arterial Shock

#

because I'm not a big fan of KB + Spatter personally

#

I'm a sucker for bleeds

digital venture
subtle tundra
#

the basics are the same

#

on all

#

;3

limber lion
#

How high are you planning to take it?

digital venture
runic hinge
#

I played ap in basically every key to 3k io

limber lion
#

Yeah, if you want to only play one build until the end of time, just play the Cleave build

subtle tundra
#

its quite a grind

limber lion
#

But I doubt you'll be pushing 30's just like that

#

Kinda running out of time here

dark token
#

If you aren't at 20s on ur first week of playing m+

#

You won't hit 30

subtle tundra
#

doing 20s and then 30s is a completely different game

digital venture
dark token
#

Also assa won't hit 30

#

Maybe in atal

#

Or brh

#

But other keys u won't live

#

And I doubt u live +30 yazma as assa anyway

digital venture
#

Nooooes. Don't break my heart like that 🤣

limber lion
#

These are Lolae's keys

#

and he's the #1 Assa r.io

dark token
#

Yeah brh/AD like I said

#

I did 29 AD tyrannical and died like 3x on final boss

#

Just could not live soulrend

subtle tundra
#

its good youre dreaming big

dark token
#

But I also didn't giga optimize

digital venture
#

Is it cuz the freaking spec has no def nodes?

dark token
#

Yes

limber lion
#

No

subtle tundra
#

doesnt stack vers

limber lion
#

It's because the spec doesn't do enough damage

#

gg

subtle tundra
#

its like 30 different reasons

dark token
#

We don't have defensive nodes and don't stack vers

#

So we actually take 20% more dmg than outlaw or sub

#

From boss mechanics

#

No jokr

royal lantern
#

@gusty mirage 2x in a row a 15% pull

dark token
#

20% more

subtle tundra
#

but yea you shouldnt care

#

youre not even doing 20s, these kind of things wont matter to you any time soon

dark token
#

I did 28 DHT as sub vs sin and fucking tree boss aoe did 90% HP on sin and only 70% on sub

digital venture
#

Let's start TC a build around vers guys poggers

limber lion
#

Just try all of the builds out and play the one that you think is most fun

dark token
#

Every single time

limber lion
#

For me it's Arterial Shock

dark token
#

I play legit all builds in different scenarios

subtle tundra
dark token
#

This one in every key below 25

limber lion
#

based

royal lantern
#

based on what

dark token
#

This one in high fort keys

limber lion
dark token
#

This one in rise/fall high keys only

runic hinge
digital venture
#

Anyway thanks for the tips. I'll let you guys know if I managed to push 20s later this week :p

limber lion
#

Shouldn't be an issue if you get the basics of the spec down and you have basic gear and 4p

subtle tundra
#

should be pretty easy, this season is chill

digital venture
#

Thanks! 💪

dark token
#

This one for high tyrannical keys that aren't fall/rise. Sometimes on high fort too

#

I usually go hybrid build for like fort everbloom or throne but this one for like WM or DHT or something

digital venture
#

@dark token thanks for posting all those builds and the respective instances they are good in! 🙌

#

is there a soft cap for mastery? like i.e shamans have 88%.

royal lantern
#

stat caps dont exist

#

its not 2004 anymore

warm ravine
#

well not true. shamans have DR at 88% so its a SOFT cap.

spice spire
#

Soft caps don’t matter

#

We do have them

#

But nothing matters in terms of stat prio

#

You can hit soft cap of x and still want it over y, this comes into play more so when you have different trinkets

#

That’s why it doesn’t matter because the trinkets themselves matter more than the stat dr in the scape of stat prio.

warm ravine
#

10-4

blissful forge
spice spire
#

Are we ele shamans or frost dks?

#

I don’t speak in the scope of other theory crafters

#

I only speak in the scope of assassination rogues

#

Your stat prio varies wildly based on you using signet or branch.
If it’s branch you over hit softcaps on a lot before you touch mastery again.

#

I don’t speak In overarching terms, only to sin in sin chat

I can't get a tindral log idk what to do

Is it impossible after nerf

Do I need to not fly + guild afk

on any boss

#

i get a purple maybe here and there....

blazing jewel

How do you log smolderon when you have a buyer in every week and kill it before the last amp

#

Or tindral when the shield breaks in .2 seconds

subtle tundra
#

1 sec i tell you

My smolderon sucks honestly I keep fking up

I just want out on tindral so I full st on sub now

fucking changed who did dragons so i had to wait for people to take the bombas

yea idk dps on tindral is 17 man-able

i dont give a flying fuck

even fyrakk boss dies sooooooooooo early when its 20 people alive

I feel like last tier you could 99 every boss without trolling the raid

subtle tundra
#

after half a night as assa on smold i said im not doing it

#

and i got replaced

#

;3

blazing jewel
#

Lol

rotund oak
#

thats brutal

blazing jewel
#

If you had 20 up smold wasn’t even a super tight check

#

Even early

subtle tundra
#

no acro on smold is tilting

#

if you want to be ethical its 0 uptime

dark token
#

Sin not being able to take acro is really sad tbh

#

Especially on tindral

#

When other 2 specs get it for free

blazing jewel
#

We killed with plenty of time left and deaths at like 478ilvl

subtle tundra
#

with 2 subs?

#

;3

blazing jewel
subtle tundra
#

sub is cheat code, kinda feel bad for not doing it

blazing jewel
#

I was sub from smold onwards

rotund oak

sub is the way

subtle tundra

but hey, it worked out in the end

blazing jewel
subtle tundra
#

world 30 with me half trolling is a dub

rotund oak
#

outlaw main btw

#

hardwired brain

subtle tundra
#

i think it would've been pretty fun to play sub but i only raid log... no time to learn the spec

blazing jewel
#

It’s not fun

#

When timers change every week due to sales and roster changes

rotund oak
#

and nerfs(occassionally)

subtle tundra
#

assa rotation once again got stale, i much prefer pre-df where it was just as stale but not as many buttons

dark token
#

Guessing fyrakk timings is really annoying as sub tbh

rotund oak
#

just send

#

on cd

#

least what stealthi said

subtle tundra
#

and extra annoying with some branch timings

dark token
#

I devote so much brain power to it every week trying to do good timings for our kill

blazing jewel
dark token
#

Sin is fkin chilling send on cd

dark token
blazing jewel
#

If you push too early and sub was the main spec breaking shields in your raid suddenly it doesn’t get broken on time

subtle tundra
#

yea but sub can be ok balanced but be op cause of dynamic timings

#

so you win some and lose some as sub

blazing jewel
#

New rotation is fun I guess

#

But I’d take old one with a better tier set ngl

#

I am a paid actor by big sepsis

dark token
#

I prefer new sin rotation by a lot but don't like the 4p

subtle tundra
#

i literally look at my parse and then check if i played well and i swear i don't do a single thing wrong

#

and its like a 60

#

lose my envenom chain once maybe

dark token
#

Do u have pi

#

And wf

#

And aug

#

If u don't, no orange

subtle tundra
#

i dont know?!?! i log 3 minutes before raid

#

bad rng i guess(10 raids in a row)

blazing jewel
#

Also it’s week 9000 and I still have branch/sandglass

#

I want to die

subtle tundra
#

i'd love to get log reviewed at some point but private logs ☝️

blazing jewel
#

Not rocket science right now lol

dark token
#

Sin rotation is pretty easy atm

#

It's very fixed just do ur CDs well

subtle tundra
#

i do fuck up vanish timings like 1/10 times which is pretty high

#

but thats cause im not focused on the raid

dark token
#

Envenom uptime helps but even without its fine

blazing jewel
#

I still see a lot of people vanish past optimal time but even then I doubt that’s a massive deal

My mouse hand hurts and I don't have wind fury tonight. Should I just call out tonight?

storm forum
#

Ok

charred obsidian
#

Will assa ever be meta in m+ lol

spice surge
#

If it didnt get turbo nerfed every week at the start of the tier it would definitely be alright in m+

#

Deathmarking and "oneshotting" a priority target is incredibly strong

charred obsidian
#

fair

#

seeing assa at the bottom every expansion for m+ is kinda sad ngl

spice surge
#

Now after the rework the tools to be good in m+ are there

#

Just the numbers are a bit low in general

charred obsidian
#

well... it didnt change all that much lets be honest. We have caustic spatter which is super good but what else?

#

sudden demise? not even played

#

crimson update? not played either

woeful meteor
#

Think the spec needs a shift from where your dmg comes from to become and stay meta in Keys, since with the current profile you will just be way to good in raid when your are meta in m+

#

and just get nerfed

charred obsidian
#

this^^

keen spruce
#

Easy access to tempest. KB for 1m st burst that also spatters, demise and scent in some builds, dance to go with carnage

charred obsidian
#

at this point we just go full single target with caustic in m+ pretty much

marble hemlock
#

easy to fix by just lowering spatter percentage to not have the same old dogshit st -> aoe gameplay that half the other specs have at this point

keen spruce
#

More flexible bleed spreading, strong passive cleave, and very powerful priority damage

keen spruce
#

Well we go full cleave because that’s what important this season

charred obsidian
#

i dont understand why blizzard have a sudden hate for Aoe abilities

keen spruce
#

It’s not that it’s the most optimal way for Assas to be played

#

It’s that prio damage and st are by far the most important damage profiles in this m+ season

marble hemlock
#

its the easiest to tune way to do aoe, but its also the most boring one in terms of overall gameplay

#

every class just feels incredibly similar in aoe, the buttons just have different names

#

and yes, im jaded and cynical, because i firmly believe current assa in m+ is a major downgrade in terms of gameplay, to what it was before. so take my input with a mineshaft full of salt

keen spruce
#

Lots of old heads miss multi dotting

charred obsidian
#

i just feel like old assa and new assa play the same in m+

keen spruce
#

But I think for the modern palette the new Assas is more favorable overall

charred obsidian
#

at least they are super similar

keen spruce
#

With the gameplay loop

charred obsidian
#

just just dont spam crimson anymore

marble hemlock
#

new assa is just "pump 2mins into prio target, then afk and let your team carry" cause you sure as shit dont do damage outside of CDs

#

and having to use mutilate every 10sec on aoe is fucking criminal

keen spruce
#

Ye I’d rather move power back into rupture

#

Fan should proc spatter on your target

charred obsidian
#

probably a unpopular opinion but. i think Indiscriminate carnage sucks

marble hemlock
#

i think so too

charred obsidian
#

for a specific reason

marble hemlock
#

dw

charred obsidian
#

ait

keen spruce
#

I don’t mind it but it’s not as engaging as I think we were hoping

marble hemlock
#

old IC was good cause it actually had range, new IC still feels shit against any set of targets thats taller than a gnome

charred obsidian
#

the "have to stealth" to apply just makes it so annoying

marble hemlock
#

also love casting shiv with arterial precision on tindral while im surrounded by 10 roots and 8 treants and i still only get 2 CP somehow

#

big fan

charred obsidian
#

makes it unplayable with 50% of tanks and impossible to play on spiteful

keen spruce
#

The stealth requirement rn doesn’t really matter

charred obsidian
#

Cough Chain pullers Cough

keen spruce
#

Because we’re running dance with kb

#

Restealths are basically pointless

marble hemlock
#

but ye i mean, the rework drastically changed the way that assa delivers damage in m+ now. to me personally, it was a major downgrade. CT feels like shit and hits like a wet noodle, its basically all loaded into spatter, the one thing i was hoping wouldnt happen

keen spruce
#

Yeah I just want power back into bleeds

#

Ct and rupture

charred obsidian
#

we only use dance with kb and not for dotting anyways

marble hemlock
#

spending 2 GCDs to get max CP and hardcasting a rupture on another target is just not even remotely close to where it should be for a multidot class

#

anyway, sorry for the dooming

charred obsidian
#

yea not to mention there are lots of others who does dotting way better than assa

marble hemlock
#

i just used to love the old assa playstyle and so the spec was pretty much ruined for me. unlucky.

charred obsidian
#

without the need of special requirements

keen spruce
#

You use Dane with kb and you redot during it

#

Restealths really don’t matter and never have

#

Dance*

charred obsidian
#

problem is that you usally use it very quickly after youve put your dots out

keen spruce
#

I mean they’re more important for pirate than any other spec rn

marble hemlock
#

just love how the spec gets nerfed repeatedly to the point where playing it in prog is actively trolling your guild

charred obsidian
#

so the value is kinda meh

marble hemlock
#

playing assa without aug buffs/pi is just miserable

#

love doing tank damage

keen spruce
#

Yeah nerfing it back to 3rd best every season gets really old

#

Especially because unless you’re in like a top 50 guild it means you barely get to use the unbuffed version

#

Like it was basically gutted before I got to lacrosse

#

Larodar*

marble hemlock
#

nerfing it due to it looking good on warcraftlogs because blizz doesnt give enough of a shit to fix their combat hooks, so spatter was entirely attributed to the rogue instead of the aug, meaning we did a solid 10-20% more dam in logs than we actually did, and then getting nerfed based off of those numbers.

good stuff.

blazing jewel
#

Sin after its first small aura buff in aberrus was perfect

charred obsidian
#

plus the current and old assassin dont feel like assassins

keen spruce
#

As long as you were only hitting one target

charred obsidian
#

heck even sub is a better assassin that assa is

keen spruce
#

@blazing jewel susGe

blazing jewel
#

Or even this tier

keen spruce
#

Hmmge but my spatter pad

marble hemlock
#

oh nyoo, a class that only has 3 dps specs topped the meters on a bunch of bosses. better nerf it 3 times, forget that its getting PI and aug buffed and aug damage attribution is fucked. nerf it one more time for good measure. dont buff it again after you realize its been down bad, no need. just buff mage a few more times despite it already being the #1 m+ spec.

blazing jewel
#

Very important

marble hemlock
#

only way to fix the game at this point is to remove any cd thats longer than 1min cooldown. dont @ me

#

CDs and CDR ruined wow class design. dont @ me

#

anyway, enough doomposting. enjoy your evenings

charred obsidian
keen spruce
#

Id rather Assas go back to slow dot management and multi dotting manually. But I also really like the prio bursty thing we’ve got going on this season. Assas would still be pretty good in m+ rn if they had better defensive

#

A

#

Defensives

charred obsidian
#

i guess so

keen spruce
#

Outlaw getting a 5% stam node, 4% vers, favors vers as a stat, always have feint, and ~40s cd on evasion

#

Other two specs just can’t really compete

#

But at least sub has vanish shield and stacks vers idk

charred obsidian
#

and sub being miles ahead in st

keen spruce
#

I agree with seli, get rid of big cds and get rid of vers

spice surge
keen spruce
#

What’s the 10% shield from?

spice surge
#

runic hinge
#

keen spruce
#

I haven’t messed with sub that much

#

O

charred obsidian
#

im just sick of seeing sub at the top all the time so ive tried assa the most

keen spruce
#

I just don’t like the bait and switch every season

#

And the machine gun nerfs

charred obsidian
#

lol

keen spruce
#

At the start of every tier

charred obsidian
#

true

keen spruce
#

Like if we’re middle of the pack w/e

#

I’ll play it or maybe if it’s bad enough I’ll try something else

charred obsidian
#

every season we have the "here we go again" moment

keen spruce
#

But like setting us up to be hype about it and seeing it perform well

#

Then chopping our knees off

#

Is really demoralizing

charred obsidian
#

indeed

#

people hyped assa for this rework

marble hemlock
#

its just annoying as fuck

charred obsidian
#

so much next to no one touched sub

marble hemlock
#

when it happens twice in one expansion

charred obsidian
#

sub was op all along for raids

marble hemlock
#

was the same shit in vault

charred obsidian
#

dam

marble hemlock
#

multiple nerfs until the spec was in the gutter

#

while everything else gets buffed

#

so we end up starting at the top, and end up at the bottom

charred obsidian
#

sometimes it feels like all buffs and nerfs are made with popularity in mind and nothing else

marble hemlock
#

same as now, unless we get aug buffs and PI, but even then at this point, better off giving PI to your hunters and aug buffs to the sub/dk/hunters/dh

keen spruce
#

We don’t even have an aug

#

And I’m only getting pi because we have 3 priests

spice surge
#

Aug doesnt matter much though

keen spruce
#

Well now it doesn’t the hooks got mostly fixed for rogue

marble hemlock
#

not for logs but just feels dogshit to play

keen spruce
#

Iirc

marble hemlock
#

in raid itself

keen spruce
#

Well aug is a war crime anyways.

marble hemlock
#

when youre one of the classes that aug is strongest for

#

and not getting it

spice surge
keen spruce
#

But that’s been talked to death

charred obsidian
#

sooo...

#

when is assa rework

fleet pagoda
#

i'm just happy the spec is fun to play in keys now

#

i'll go in there with my noodle arms and do my best while the ret paladins slam final verdict to victory

charred obsidian
#

ret 0 effort 1 mil damage while watching netflix on the side

#

meanwhile me playing assa and the tank chain pull the entire dungeon so i have to use vanish to even try do damage once

shy pecan
#

You have Shadow Dance too

charred obsidian
#

and waste dance in the process

keen spruce
#

I don’t care about ret doing big aoe pad

#

But I do care about getting beat in single target by a Cheeto weilding glue eater

#

While they also do infinite aoe

charred obsidian
#

lol

fleet pagoda
#

i liked when they were just divine storm enjoyers, made a nice synergy with sin. that verdict buff was a bit much though

#

went from being ying and yang to riding them to the finish line

spice surge
#

If only assa did 3% more damage and 12% more kingsbane damage kekw

charred obsidian
#

especially when that cooldown is always used with kingsbane

#

unless i understand the spec totally wrong and play like an idiot

keen spruce
#

The 3% was just a kick in the nuts

charred obsidian
#

mm

#

idk they hate assa i swear

keen spruce
#

And for like 60% of rogues it was more like an 8%

#

Cuz that’s when they all lost their pi

#

If they hadn’t already

charred obsidian
#

when will they nerf sub st

bronze pike
charred obsidian
#

they are like 5-10% over everyone else in st atm

bronze pike
shy pecan

charred obsidian

#

i know, it just common sentiment for multiple specs

charred obsidian
#

yea

#

like survival

bronze pike
#

surv is sleeper

fleet pagoda
#

affliction peepochrist

charred obsidian
#

its ait

bronze pike
#

people jsut dont play it cause ya know

#

melee when your playing hunter

charred obsidian
#

very squishy

bronze pike
#

naw

#

mm is the squishy one cause no pet

keen spruce
#

Hunter has decent beef now

bronze pike
#

if a surv or bm feels squishy that means there running a dps pet

#

when tank pets super charge their bulk by a solid amount

charred obsidian
#

yea well mm is in the gutter atm

keen spruce
#

Aff would actually be fine

bronze pike
#

actually have to try and die to die as bm/surv

keen spruce
#

If they just reduced the fking vile taint cd

#

And upped their shard gen

charred obsidian
#

would it be an exageration to call MM the worst hunter spec atm

keen spruce
#

No

#

Mm is butts

bronze pike
#

idk enoguh about mm to comment

charred obsidian
#

thats what i thought

bronze pike
#

mm consistent dam is beans

keen spruce
#

They’re very good at larodar

charred obsidian
#

but capped at 6

keen spruce
#

Cuz they run heavy ammo

charred obsidian
#

unless you go light ammo

keen spruce
#

But that’s it

bronze pike
#

it has huge burst

keen spruce
#

Their single target is criminal

charred obsidian
#

then its 8

#

the burst is good for 10 seconds and after that youre useless for the rest of that time

keen spruce
#

Turbo ass

#

And their tier is still bugged

#

And sometimes just won’t go off

#

So they lose another 5% st sometimes

charred obsidian
#

so unless things die within like 15-20 seconds youre useless lets be real

keen spruce
#

Normally like 1-3 times per boss lol

charred obsidian
#

in aoe that is

#

not to menton 2 targets being your bane

charred obsidian
#

lol

#

i guess so

keen spruce
#

No at least Assas is kinda useful 1m later

charred obsidian
#

the tierset is the only thing making MM even a tiny bit useful

#

without the tier idk where it would stand tbh

bronze pike
#

sin burst is still solid af

#

the issue tho

charred obsidian
#

the tier set for MM in pbe for s3 was a 1% dps increase

#

until they changed it

#

it was so sad

bronze pike
#

what kills burst specs is cdr and pointless cdr

charred obsidian
#

true

bronze pike
#

idk if mm has that

charred obsidian
#

you use your salvo and explosive shot together with your trueshot and thats your entire burst gone within 10 sec

#

after that youre capped at 6-8 enemies depending on talents

#

without trueshot you kinda suck

#

even with the other bursts up

#

enough hunter ig this is assa discussion

#

sorry about that lol

Hmm, maybe your bleed damage isn’t high enough on the targets themselves?

crisp parrot
#

It does about 20k against a questing mob executing it instantly at the 35% threshold, and in dungeons sometimes in a massive pack it will read 3-4k or even 0 on details

#

im assuming its a dungeon scaling issue because it was released in the 10.2 patch and not tested in leveling

usually if you DM a mob it should pop or when you use the aoe shiv and they are fully bled

but it's a bit late in the patch for that

yeah honestly

They should’ve got nerfed when assass got the second nerf
