but thats only deadly poison right? Not KB / spatter

spice surge
#

Correct, weapon poisons are only deadly/amp/instant/wound

nimble zinc
#

also

#

my blue silk lining is on bracers and belt atm - belt is 525, bracers are 502 was planning to recraft to 525 this week, however I got myth belt and bracers in vault - i'm wondering if should take the bracers and just craft silk lining on boots instead, since my current boots are 515 hero

#

i'm trying to sim it, but sim wont let me add embelishments to gear unless they already have it

limber lion
#

Sounds good to me

#

Doesn't really matter what item you have the embellishments on

#

Just craft on whichever item is the lowest ilvl

#

And if you stuff from vault, just take it and recraft somewhere else

nimble zinc
#

also on primal council -- most boss fights I use shadow dance and vanish as part of my KB rotation. But with aoe boss - should I save SD/Vanish for reapplying improved garrote?

spice surge
#

Dance should 100% still be with kb

nimble zinc
#

should i reapply bleeds after vanish?

spice surge
#

Not entirely sure about vanish but i dont think its much of a difference, i could be wrong though

limber lion
#

I would honestly save the vanish for reapplying the bleeds with IC

#

Vanish usage with KB is basically just to increase the likelihood of you critting with KB's last 2 ticks

#

So rather just crit without the vanish usage and use Vanish for spreading bleeds instead

#

What can we drop to play "Acrobatic Strikes"? Spiteful week is acc shit

spice surge
#

Deeper stratagem+alacrity > lethality+acrobatic

grizzled mist
#

how big dmg lose is it?

spice surge
#

2-3% or something in sims

midnight mist
#

last i checked it was a really big number in aoe tho

#

like 5+

grizzled mist
#

are u not outlaw gamer xd how would u know

midnight mist
#

idk it was too cancer to play without acro

#

when i wanted to try out sin

#

so i simmed it

flint marsh
#

dont worry everyone plays without it in tww

#

so can adjust to the pain now

snow juniper
#

trying out sin for the rest of the season. i got a bad ring and cloak, what stats do i want to throw on them while i havent stabilized my gear yet

shy pecan
onyx rampart
#

Poisoned Knife only to use in case of being out of range? Or does it have a place in the rotation somewhere?

slate crown
#

no purpose, it's barely worth using out of range too

#

It's really just to pull ranged/flying mobs

#

in the open world

onyx rampart
#

At least it's useful for something 😄

grim jay
#

but else.. 😄

slate crown
#

Yeah

#

Won't always be at energy cap though when moving away

#

with 300 energy if you can manage to dump energy before you have to run away, often you can return before capping

#

though I'm sure there are cases where you'll cap in which case sure

rare owl
#

Has anyone made a gif yet of @balmy condor shotguning a monster?

grim jay

shy pecan

#

See I could make one, but do I want to?

#

Will I be taken out back for doing so?

#

We all know the fate of the !whispyr

#

Also what good is the visual alone without the audio

rare owl
#

I mean

royal lantern
#

my heart Hurts looking at that

blazing jewel
dark token
#

every day

#

as soon as i wake up and after lunch

shy pecan
#

Geezus

rain wraith
#

can someone help me with my next bullion?

#

im thinking either 528 dagger or diurna ring

nimble zinc
#

Ring is nice cause it goes all the way to 535. But a dagger might sim better.

#

Did you sim it?

normal mist
#

sup neighbour

rain wraith
#

Ive been in a slumber since Legion when Grim batol wasnt dead x)

#

not really a reason to change servers now

normal mist
#

^

rain wraith
#

Real ones remember TBC Grim Batol

nimble zinc
#

Also @rain wraith is your 515 ring maxed champion? Might be better upgrade to get the other fire ring.

#

Dagger goes like 6 lvl higher. Ring goes 20 lvl higher

rain wraith
#

my 515 ring can go 522. just havent upgraded. i also have myth path Platinum star band

normal mist
shy pecan
rain wraith
#

kinda realized mid convo

shy pecan
#

I wanna say a 528 dagger is a higher prio than diurna's ring

nimble zinc
#

Yeah it’s kinda nuts how much higher a dagger upgrade sims

shy pecan
#

Yeah

nimble zinc
#

My first like 4 bullion purchases were trinkets and daggers.

rotund oak
#

who was it just now on lfr with me

#

on eranog

rain wraith
#

i spent first 6-8 bullions on outlaw gear

#

Then someone told me assass was better

#

and it is

nimble zinc
#

It happens

rotund oak
#

it definitely hurts though

rain wraith
#

And i dont raid much mythic so i gotta get lucky on daggers from vault or use bullions

rotund oak
#

the awkward realization u made a mistake and wasted so many

shy pecan
#

Eh, "buffs" midseason will do that

normal mist
rotund oak
#

ive grabbed ouroboreal necklet from previous week weekly quest and now got the voice back

#

to flex some logs

rain wraith
rotund oak
#

im gonna gap ppl even on sub gear EZ

mortal crystal
#

I swapped to assassination for some 10 keys. JFC, it's horrible. Stuff dies instantly and no Carnage 😮

shy pecan
#

Sometimes, it can be that way

spice surge
#

Its absolutely fine once you get the playstyle down

#

And If you were running the cleave build without demise or ct for low keys, well then thats an issue, but its still alright

rain wraith
#

might just go for the ring purely to boost my ilvl

#

very small upgrades

rotund oak
#

torch isnt a smol upgrade though

spice surge
#

Big mainhand should be first prio

rotund oak
#

also that^^

rain wraith
#

i got torch but i really like Nelth as a passive trinket

shy pecan
#

Yeah, that's what I thought. Because MH gives you a lot of your damage

mortal crystal
rotund oak
#

its much weake compared to torch but ye 1st wpns

#

if u dont have wpns u need wpns

spice surge
#

Yes so dont play the build centered around kingsbane

#

If your kingsbane target dies

shy pecan
#

Recently, the sin rogues I've been inviting to weekly 10 keys have been playing cleave builds and I'm like "Not like this..."

#

Better to just play the Shock builds because of what Eleem said. You're not reliant on KB

chrome sail
#

When do we press grieftorch, m+ wise

royal lantern
#

when its ready

#

and you are not inside kingsbane

rotund oak
#

Basicly u dont wanna use torch in such a way that will put ashes on cd when u are gonna press DM+KB+Ashes

rain wraith
#

Diurna ring is kinda nice tho with the proc for survivabiltiy no?

rotund oak
#

sim a top gear brother

#

and post it

#

here

#

we can tell u whats more optimal to go for

rain wraith
#

did a droptimizer further up on the bullion vendor

rotund oak
#

ye pick up a wpn first

#

no rings before wpns or trinkets

#

wpns+trinkets are the biggest upgrade

dark token
#

hmm

#

if i have spriest PI

#

do i do quick opener to better line up the PI

fast jewel
#

You make the priest PI you when you press DM

dark token
#

spriest doesnt

fast jewel
#

fight them for supremacy

royal lantern
#

cus like

#

its spriest, they will use it w/e they want anyway

proven jasper
#

Having pi in ur opener tho dead

royal lantern
#

delete pi

#

or make assa no pi target anymore

#

(and delete aug ofc aswell)

proven jasper
#

should delete wf too

#

not having it vs having it a real feels bad

royal lantern
#

maybe blizz is smart enough and decideds to make class wide WFT with the shamn update next week

#

you know, giving the SHAMAN GROUP UTILITY all specs

#

and not just enh

dark token
#

like 2-3s early to my DM

midnight mist

dark token
midnight mist
#

well that i got but

#

do you wait a bit or something

#

idk

runic hinge
#

Not anymore since the nerf in s3

rotund oak
#

and ask for a pi

runic hinge
rotund oak
#

2-3 seconds isnt rly that bad tbh,pi last 14sec iirc right?

#

or its less

shy pecan
#

15?

rotund oak
#

its 15sec

#

yeah

#

idk doesnt look impactful in any case

#

it covers the entirety of KB

#

if its 2-3 secs

dark token

midnight mist
final star
#

exactly

midnight mist
#

wtf

limber lion
#

Is your name Tom or is it Zac

#

Who's Tom Elvis

final star
#

522 irideus is better than 528 ashes at that kill time

midnight mist
#

tomelvis is me

final star
#

Lord Voldemort

limber lion
#

Yes

#

But are you Tom or Zac

midnight mist
#

my name is zac

#

ye

limber lion
#

Who is Tom Elvis

#

Why are you impersonating Tom Elvis

final star
#

It's voldemort in french

#

they call him tom elvis

limber lion
#

wtff

midnight mist
#

well its not voldemort

balmy condor
#

cev doesn't know mr. Pelvis

final star
#

it's tom riddle, technically

midnight mist
#

ye

#

i didnt rememeber the english name

limber lion
#

That one I know

midnight mist
#

thank you

limber lion
#

Why does he turn into Elvis

midnight mist
#

so that the anagram works

#

I am lord voldemort or something

#

is tom riddle whatever

#

in french you have to change the name

#

but also half the names changes in french

#

like snape

#

and uh

final star
#

Je suis instead of I am

midnight mist
#

all the others guy

final star
#

the translator thought of a diffy anagram for it

limber lion
#

What is Harry Potter called then?

#

Peter Shakira?

midnight mist
#

harry potter

#

but it almost got translated on god

limber lion
#

shesh

midnight mist
#

also like all the house names

#

have french equivalent

#

which i guess make sense

#

but its weird

limber lion
#

Fair

#

Better win Kieron on this fight

shy pecan

final star

but it's gryffindor

haughty flicker
#

lmao

woeful hollow
#

is it okay to go past soft cap stat value on mastery

#

it says -20% penalty but the lost raitign is 169.64

final star
#

it's 20% penalty on stats gained above the threshold

woeful hollow
#

So should i use Buzzing rune instead of hissing rune

tall jay
#

!wa

midnight mist
#

#

#

I have hekili but anyone have any good suggestions to remembering the rotation

balmy condor
#

learn it in chunks

#

like always maintain rup/gar/snd

#

then what do you do outside of that, mut, env, pooling

#

then what do you do in cds

#

compartmentalize it

#

and uninstall hekili for instant dps gain

#

fastest known way to do more dps is not using hekili

unreal mesa
#

that is a great way to start remembering the rotation, break it into those chunks like Whispyr says.

snow juniper
#

Should really write guides or something

balmy condor
#

yeah that's a good idea

#

I'll write that down

snow juniper
#

Lol

#

My voice to text and fat thumbs made that a poorly time joke

Are you looking to keep empowered garrote up as much as possible with your stealth windows

slate crown
#

You want to preserve your empowered garrotes and not overwrite them with a normal garrote, yes.

worldly sail
#

i played outlaw all expansion long and now trying out sin it actually feels pretty cool catgasp

#

i only touched it in s1 for pvp

Try out sub now

#

tacit charm
#

how much of a damage increase is it to only finish at 4 cps (except for first one) over always finihsing at 5 or 6

#

is it like a lot of damage to where I need to be focusing on it? or it is not a huge deal

# snow juniper I have hekili but anyone have any good suggestions to remembering the rotation

Here is a good way to learn the assassination rotation by improving your ability to learn so you can master your rotations in WoW without using heliki through brain power:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn/

It covers things like chunking information as mentioned earlier above, making it easier to digest and remember when you want to press Rupture, Garrote, when to pool, etc

balmy condor
#

If you’re used to finishing on 5 you can stick with it

#

Tww will also be a lot of finishing on 5 for stuff like fatebound

wooden radish
balmy condor
#

So more than fine to just not finish on 4

balmy condor
wooden radish
#

ah ok

balmy condor
#

Also for the marks on deathstalker

tacit charm
#

ok ty!

wooden radish
#

For the final mark there is an additional rule to be at max CP (so 7 if you have both CP talents) in order to consume the Darkest Night?

balmy condor
#

Yes

wooden radish
#

so if you land on 6cp, its still worth to build one more to get 7cp so you can do the empowered envenom asap and get mark back up again

balmy condor
#

Yep

wooden radish
#

ah ok ty

balmy condor
#

Mut on 6

#

Its quite a world we live in

wooden radish
#

yeah...

#

I wonder maybe it would be better if it was more flexible

#

like continuing the 5cp rule

#

for consistency, and avoiding using mut on 6cp

#

but I guess ensuring its 7cp, we'd get the biggest finisher possible

#

Does Darkest Night work with Animacharged cp?

balmy condor
#

Would lose some of that

#

If it wasn’t

wooden radish
#

yeah absolutely

#

I feel like it should work with animacharged CP

#

but probably just NYI

balmy condor
#

Ye

strange python
#

hi for assa aoe opener i am applying garrote to enemies without garrote while kingsbane is active? should i have some nameplate mod to make the nameplate with kb be bigger or more indicative of being my kb target?

sorry if this is already answered somewhere im relatively new to the spec

glass hemlock
#

If your KB target has garrote already, it will choose someone that doesn’t if you use garrote on KB target

strange python
#

oh okay tyvm

#

guessing that applies to a target with garrote already regardless of if kb is on that target?

gaunt mortar
#

is the spreadsheet current ? cause why does it not match up with archon ?

balmy condor
#

in what regard

#

Archon is logs, the sheet is simulations

gaunt mortar
#

I am just trying to find a good all round spreadsheet that can show some of the BIS items that I can shoot for when trying to gear

#

idk if that made sense or not

gaunt mortar
#

Since both fire rings would it be beneficial to run one embellishment of shadowflame then on boots or belt ?

runic hinge
#

Just grab ashes/torch, a dagger, and the two rings from bullion. Then BSL is going to be both your embellishments

#

You can proc ring from the helm enchant and torch

gaunt mortar
#

hmm ok

gaunt mortar
#

is this decent for my ilvl ?

balmy condor
#

Yep

#

ilvl is the important number

im still 524ilvl,need some stuff to upgrade

but im shting heavily on much more geared ppl than me

ashen oriole
#

i wish there was a weak aura that automatically sends feedback to Priests giving PI outside of Deathmark / Kingsbane windows monkahmm

balmy condor
#

wdym by that

#

it's standard practice to have a macro/weakaura to whisper them when you want pi

ashen oriole
#

Well, you know how the PI me WA sends you the current CD or out of range?

balmy condor
#

sure

grim jay
balmy condor
#

I just have it macro'd to my deathmark

ashen oriole
#

Some priests, not to say most, give you PI whenever they feel like it

wispy apex
#

!dagger

ashen oriole
#

And I'd like to have a WA that sends them feedback, saying that they sent it while my CDs are on cooldown or whatever

grim jay
#

Shadows mainly do that

#

The others just dont like to properly play if they do that

balmy condor
#

if it's a heal priest, skill issue play with better players, if it's a shadow then like yeh it's part of their cds too so kinda have to live with it

ashen oriole
grim jay
#

I mean its one of the downsides of pugging

balmy condor
#

yeh but if you're pugging you don't need to minmax a pi to begin with

#

like it could be infuriating, I get it

balmy condor
#

but also if you're pugging you're not doing content where you should really give a shit tbh

ashen oriole
#

17 and 18 keys are not content to give a shit about minmaxing?

grim jay
balmy condor
#

I don't bother tracking pi, my macro just whispers the priest and if I get it cool and if I don't I don't and it's whatever I move on with my life cause it's not in my control

ashen oriole
#

yes tons of priests with 3.5+k rating that only know or care to PI like I was a mage

balmy condor
#

it's 5% to your dps

ashen oriole
#

i'm looking into a reeducation WA

balmy condor
#

if you're a third of the dps, that's less than 2% of the groups damage

#

its just not impactful enough

ashen oriole
#

can you translate 2% into time?

balmy condor
#

0 seconds I would assume given how m+ meta atm is "if not shit on and die, key timed"

ashen oriole
#

do you use torch because you assume 0 deaths?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

it's the best second trinket at 0 deaths

#

why wouldn't I

harsh ravine
#

hello guys, Im very new into rogue assa, a question that I didn't find the answer of :

  1. do you change target to spread garrot or should I just spam garrote on the main target with stealth buff to spread it untill everyone is affected ?
ashen oriole
#

i find nelth call a better choice in high keys at least in fortified weeks

balmy condor
#

it only smart-spreads the 2 from carnage, not all 3

balmy condor
#

how many keys have you done in the last 2 seasons that have been cleanly run, but you missed the timer by like 10 seconds

#

I'd be willing to bet you could count those on one hand with half your fingers chopped off

ashen oriole
#

but do I want to shit on 2% overall group dps knowing shit can go wrong and probably will go wrong

#

at least in a few keys a day

#

nope

harsh ravine
balmy condor
#

yeh I guess that's just a difference in ideology I guess

#

I try my best to not be bothered by stuff I can't control

#

I can press my buttons

#

the other 4 people are responsible for theirs

grim jay
balmy condor
#

if I have a whisper macro to communicate the info to the priest

#

and they choose to not act on it

#

then like whelp

There’s so much crazy shit happening all the time it’s so easy to not realize that humans are just insane creatures with crazy knowledge and tech

Optical illusions dude? We make things that we know we can’t see properly because we’ve studied how our own bodies are too stupid to see things for what they are

Hi Guys, I posted in the wrong channel, fairly new rogue here, I play assasintion as I like the element of poisions. I've gone through wowhead and icey veins and even downloaded the 'Hero' dmg helped for rotation. I'm problem is whilst I'll be the first to say I need to 'get good' now that I'm lv 70 with all abilities I'm finding the order and sequence of using the abilities really awkward - anyone else feel this way - just looking for some advice/input. I love the rogue class but's its getting so awkward say compared to arms warrior - which seems very straight forward by comparison.

grim jay
#

I personally dont think assassination is all that complicated, just has some priorities to keep in mind

#

But many of us play rogue for ages so its hard to really answer

# shadow leaf Hi Guys, I posted in the wrong channel, fairly new rogue here, I play assasintio...

Hey friend, hope you enjoy a lot of the ass rouge class..
Regarding the rotation addon helper, I would not recomend it. Try to read the guides and learn the rotation and not just follow a robot.
Try to read this guide https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue and try to see some keys on youtube.

#

Spend some good time in the dummys just getting used to the rotation and the machanics..
Hope you enjoy it.

tacit charm
#

something also you can do is go to https://lorrgs.io/ and and select the each bosses and see the order people press their buttons in

#

I havnt looked into it too much so idk the ins-and-outs but ive heard it can be helpful

shadow leaf
#

Thanks guys, I heard about this discord only yesterday so thanks. I think I maybe need to do simple stuff like reorganise my abitlies on my hotbar, try and make things easier again. Thats interesting the rotation helpers aent that good, I'll turn it off and go through the Method link and check out the Lorrgs link, it'll be good to see. I'll let you know how it all goes - I know you'll all be waiting with baited breath..haha.

you could also check out Whispyrs youtube channel

he covers a lot of the basics with videos

your advice is already brilliant. I read the method rotaiton and it mentions the use of both fan of knives and crimson tempest. The Hero rotation helper never mentioned the use if them at all and fcoused on Envenom, which I wrongly assumed was due to caustic splatter spam for aoe dmg

royal lantern
#

yeha rotation helpers are kinda yikes

#

even more for rogue

solar tangle
#

To be honest, I also don't know whether the Rotation Helper can manage the pooling properly...quite important for the spec

onyx rampart
#

Hekili gets the assa basic rights, it helped me to learn in which order to press my keys, but if you want to play well in any spec you shouldn't be using rotation addons, unless maybe you're sitting on a patchwerk dummy 100%

shadow leaf
#

I'll be practicing the rotation va method on the training dummies later, will be interesting to see the difference in smooth v's awkward

vestal wren
#

hero rotation and hekili should be good, rotation helpers still won't tell you mistakes or adjust to encounters

#

so you can make mistakes but feel like doing everything correct

#

it is always better to learn the spec, ofc also takes more effort

clever sapphire
#

like pressing shiv before kingsbane and during it

onyx rampart
#

I liked the "assassination 10.2 masterclass " youtube video from GaleaGGTV, he explains the rotation pretty well there and I always learned better from videos than reading

rotund oak
# shadow leaf your advice is already brilliant. I read the method rotaiton and it mentions th...

For any more help feel free to ask here but a quick insight is :
1)Maintain rupture and garrote and slice and dice
2)Allign ur big cooldowns (Deathmark+Kingsbane every 2min with ur on-use trinket,preferably ashes of the embersoul.Use 1 Kingsbane every 1 minute until deathmark comes off cd and allign it with kingsbane again,they never fail to allign)
3)ALWAYS COVER ur kingsbane windows with 2 shivs to maximize the dmg
4)Press crimson tempest assuming ur other bleeds are already active and running for some juicy ''aoe'',never use on single target though.
5)Dont be afraid to press vanish and reapply garrote if u cant get restealths on m+

rotund oak
#

i think whispyr's vids are by far the best out there

#

the thing that actually matters most is that he goes more than say u press garrote into rupture etc.He explains why this works

onyx rampart
#

Yeah I'm working my way through Whispyr's videos, but for starter info I think that video was really good (I played rogue for two weeks now)

gusty mirage
#

Rotation helpers are demonized a lot, but tbh if approached appropriately they can be useful to get your feet wet in a spec/role you’ve never played before

#

Can help build a little muscle memory of the basics for you to dive into a guide and build off of

vestal wren
#

they are also good to lower your mental load, but thats the same with weakauras

a dungeon sim thingy

Running anything not patchwerk would do that too

special dungeon route sim with gems and enchants

It’s basically running an actual dungeon.

ashen oriole

i mean from what i know, gem sims already take their time

and you kinda just stacked everything in that sim

woeful meteor

normal slice with gem enchats takes forever and pretty sure mdt sims are slower

even 5 min patchwerk gems enchants takes forever

i get that i packed a lot in it but really 2 hours and were here

idk ive maxxed out the combo numbers when trying to figure out crafting + gems and i dont think it took 2 wholeass hours Thonk

it was a trial raid and i didnt want to die to crit flask

in my defense

balmy condor

You’re not gonna die to crit flask ICANT

clever sapphire
#

funny that you say that, i remember our officers complaining during tindral/fyrakk prog that people died to crit flask

#

so even if you dont die to it, they se it in the death log

#

so you died to it

#

no excuses

spice spire
#

That’s an easy ass dispute though

#

You can see the healing events like

#

24s prior

#

In the death log

#

If you’re healed appropriately and play well, you should never die to crit flask

But if you get hit by Terros slam, yeah there’s a chance

restive hawk

the play well thing is the critical part for me

Good god

restive hawk

they check details and see that you died to 20k tick from flask

shy pecan

No, because they probably don’t know how to read logs aside from for “They died and they had crit flask” or “This person did this much damage”

balmy condor

Such an insane amount of data
