Correct, weapon poisons are only deadly/amp/instant/wound
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
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
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?
Dance should 100% still be with kb
should i reapply bleeds after vanish?
Not entirely sure about vanish but i dont think its much of a difference, i could be wrong though
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
Deeper stratagem+alacrity > lethality+acrobatic
how big dmg lose is it?
2-3% or something in sims
are u not outlaw gamer xd how would u know
idk it was too cancer to play without acro
when i wanted to try out sin
so i simmed it
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

Poisoned Knife only to use in case of being out of range? Or does it have a place in the rotation somewhere?
no purpose, it's barely worth using out of range too
It's really just to pull ranged/flying mobs
in the open world
At least it's useful for something 😄
well its probably better than capping energy
but else.. 😄
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
Has anyone made a gif yet of @balmy condor shotguning a monster?
we can make one of him shotgunning you if you keep pinging him for no reason



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
I mean
my heart Hurts looking at that

i drink 2 of these
every day
as soon as i wake up and after lunch
Geezus
can someone help me with my next bullion?
im thinking either 528 dagger or diurna ring
Yeah that’s what I’d say
Ring is nice cause it goes all the way to 535. But a dagger might sim better.
Did you sim it?
POG another grimbatol enjoyer
sup neighbour
Ive been in a slumber since Legion when Grim batol wasnt dead x)
not really a reason to change servers now
^
Real ones remember TBC Grim Batol
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
my 515 ring can go 522. just havent upgraded. i also have myth path Platinum star band
Unfortunately i wasnt old enough during TBC to afford retail, so i started retail during WoD. And i believe i saw you in game once or twice
You could always sim droptimizer on raidbots...
I wanna say a 528 dagger is a higher prio than diurna's ring
Yeah it’s kinda nuts how much higher a dagger upgrade sims
Yeah
My first like 4 bullion purchases were trinkets and daggers.
i spent first 6-8 bullions on outlaw gear
Then someone told me assass was better
and it is
It happens
it definitely hurts though
And i dont raid much mythic so i gotta get lucky on daggers from vault or use bullions
the awkward realization u made a mistake and wasted so many
Eh, "buffs" midseason will do that
Btw Tord you in GB due to Aggra or oldschool GB where it isnt filled with PT people?
ive grabbed ouroboreal necklet from previous week weekly quest and now got the voice back
to flex some logs
Been grim batol for like 15 years
im gonna gap ppl even on sub gear 
I swapped to assassination for some 10 keys. JFC, it's horrible. Stuff dies instantly and no Carnage 😮
Sometimes, it can be that way
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
torch isnt a smol upgrade though
Big mainhand should be first prio
also that^^
i got torch but i really like Nelth as a passive trinket
Yeah, that's what I thought. Because MH gives you a lot of your damage
It's not the playstyle, really. It's not getting Kingsbane to even tick fully 😄
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
When do we press grieftorch, m+ wise
Basicly u dont wanna use torch in such a way that will put ashes on cd when u are gonna press DM+KB+Ashes
Diurna ring is kinda nice tho with the proc for survivabiltiy no?
sim a top gear brother
and post it
here
we can tell u whats more optimal to go for
did a droptimizer further up on the bullion vendor
ye pick up a wpn first
no rings before wpns or trinkets
wpns+trinkets are the biggest upgrade
You make the priest PI you when you press DM
spriest doesnt
fight them for supremacy
i dont think that helps at all
cus like
its spriest, they will use it w/e they want anyway
Having pi in ur opener tho 
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

hes using consistently
like 2-3s early to my DM
kingsbane
Not anymore since the nerf in s3
it would make sense if he PI's as soon as u start but i think there is a wa u press and inform the priest u are sending cds
and ask for a pi
maybe just cut out the envenom to 5 before dm and that should line you up
15?
its 15sec
yeah
idk doesnt look impactful in any case
it covers the entirety of KB
if its 2-3 secs
The calculator
True
Do frogs even know how to use calculators?
🧮
I guess you have to know how to use one if you're gonna fly a plane or something like Quacktain Frog is about to do
hmm how do i play for logs on raz with only 2 shields
@final star
we lusting p2 now
i wont even get 2 deathmarks in p2 if i hold for first shield
do i just deathmark before shield then end of p2

ye
rip shield dmg tho
i had my chance in previous weeks to log but i fucked up hard
lmao you lost to zac
@final star wat
smh
smh my head
demon
Kieron has 4 trinkets

Nvm just trolling
Guys doing some demonic speed kill tactics
why stalking
funny
cute + beating the british
tbf i havent played sin in a long time
despair
has kieron?
what details
Kreem's stream
What a nerd
I'm cheating

out of 2?
exactly
wtf
522 irideus is better than 528 ashes at that kill time
tomelvis is me
Lord Voldemort
wtff
well its not voldemort
cev doesn't know mr. Pelvis
it's tom riddle, technically
That one I know
thank you
Why does he turn into Elvis
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
Je suis instead of I am
all the others guy
the translator thought of a diffy anagram for it
shesh
also like all the house names
have french equivalent
which i guess make sense
but its weird
Can’t beat the #1 beloved person in Advance
monkas
10 points to queef indoors or whatever

but it's gryffindor
lmao
is it okay to go past soft cap stat value on mastery
it says -20% penalty but the lost raitign is 169.64
it's 20% penalty on stats gained above the threshold
So should i use Buzzing rune instead of hissing rune

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
hey do we ambush instead of mutilate in stealth/sub windows?
you almsot had more wafting uptime than bsl uptime
ethical players are rewarded
Where do you sim weapon runes?
I have hekili but anyone have any good suggestions to remembering the rotation
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
that is a great way to start remembering the rotation, break it into those chunks like Whispyr says.
Should really write guides or something
the cornerstone of comedy
Are you looking to keep empowered garrote up as much as possible with your stealth windows
You want to preserve your empowered garrotes and not overwrite them with a normal garrote, yes.
i played outlaw all expansion long and now trying out sin it actually feels pretty cool 
i only touched it in s1 for pvp
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
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
Very minimal
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
for the coin flips right
So more than fine to just not finish on 4
Yeah
ah ok
Also for the marks on deathstalker
ok ty!
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?
Yes
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
Yep
ah ok ty
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?
No
It does feel weird but it’s like that on purpose as “now it’s big envenom”
Would lose some of that
If it wasn’t
yeah absolutely
I feel like it should work with animacharged CP
but probably just NYI
Ye
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
If your KB target has garrote already, it will choose someone that doesn’t if you use garrote on KB target
oh okay tyvm
guessing that applies to a target with garrote already regardless of if kb is on that target?
yo does iron wire work on voti council. aint nar way right
yes it applies just like a normal garrote, goes on your target. Since you are in dance it just so happens to also cleave to 2 other targets as well, perferring targets that dont have garrote already
wanna bet
i actually have 0 follow up for this
I’ll go karate chop my boss rn
dont do that Stuart needs you to have a job
Mf better not have shit to say

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
is the spreadsheet current ? cause why does it not match up with archon ?
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
Since both fire rings would it be beneficial to run one embellishment of shadowflame then on boots or belt ?
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
hmm ok
Yep
ilvl is the important number
You got an ashes and a grief and tier
Enchanted and gemmed
Looks good
No u
No u

Sin Rogue role in s4 : Boost wheelchair alts in 10s

did this neltharus 10 key for weekly chests n stuff
key ends,a dude trades me 20k gold
didnt even talk,he just traded me the gold lul
are you streaming? 
no u can see some glad range rated 3s from 10 years ago
sub on wcm

Imagine doing 10s for weekly

well u spend less aspects 
im still 524ilvl,need some stuff to upgrade
but im shting heavily on much more geared ppl than me
i wish there was a weak aura that automatically sends feedback to Priests giving PI outside of Deathmark / Kingsbane windows 
wdym by that
it's standard practice to have a macro/weakaura to whisper them when you want pi
Well, you know how the PI me WA sends you the current CD or out of range?
sure
I like my priest girl. She tracks my DM and I dont need to whisper anything

I just have it macro'd to my deathmark
Some priests, not to say most, give you PI whenever they feel like it
!dagger
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
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
when pugging, quite hard to know in advance
I mean its one of the downsides of pugging
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
blasphemy
but also if you're pugging you're not doing content where you should really give a shit tbh
17 and 18 keys are not content to give a shit about minmaxing?
Or atleast if you are pugging content where the heal priest doesnt know when to PI
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
yes tons of priests with 3.5+k rating that only know or care to PI like I was a mage
i'm looking into a reeducation WA
if you're a third of the dps, that's less than 2% of the groups damage
its just not impactful enough
can you translate 2% into time?
0 seconds I would assume given how m+ meta atm is "if not shit on and die, key timed"
do you use torch because you assume 0 deaths?
hello guys, Im very new into rogue assa, a question that I didn't find the answer of :
- 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 ?
i find nelth call a better choice in high keys at least in fortified weeks
if you spam it on the same target, you lose a cast. If that matters to you, you should change targets
it only smart-spreads the 2 from carnage, not all 3
and that's fine, that's a decision you've made for your own gameplay, what's that gotta do with dps and pi in a key
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
i agree that not dying is more important than dps - not arguing
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
yes that's what I figured. as a beginner it's quite hard to change target, especially to notice which target doesn't have garrot / rupture yet
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
But dad, what if the extra PI damage wouldve stopped something from happening that wiped the whole group

if I have a whisper macro to communicate the info to the priest
and they choose to not act on it
then like whelp
I tried
you def shouldn't feel omega pressured to do so, just get used to killing that one target, take the loss of a garrote or a rupture here and there, you'll be fine
👍 definitely that's the way to go. I guess I haven;t given up on being able to control the Priest so that he works as a On-use haste trinket 
Just treat your Team as an additional affix
And remember there are 3.4k+ shadows that PI themself only
I try my best not to think of that
3 weeks ago 3450 rio Spriest with 3670 main died 3 times opening cages ripping my +18

Pug experience
Find some people with frontal lobe to add on bnet and escape your prison king
ok ty for the advice, I will try to learn like this. It has been very painfull to try to keep dots on everyone & doing fine on the main target
Definitely takes practice, you’ll get there eventually
Those are already rare enough. But when I find them they just don't want rogues.
so pug life
Just tell them you come highly recommended from whispyr
And then they’ll say “who”
And you can flex “wowhead writer and rogue content creator”
And then they’ll go “ah don’t care, you’re kinda weird for that”
And then you pug anyways cause we’re rogues and that’s what we do
Works 100% of the time
I have some in my guild but the healer recently lost his remaining braincells
And its dorki this dorki that all day

I appreciate the offer and humbly accept

that looks quite impressive
And my eyes are healthy
Dude it was so sick, they basically told me to stick my face into this machine
And it told me like oh you’re too close
Oh you’re too far
And when I got the right distance
It scanned my shit like a copy machine
And then boom
3D model of the inside of my eyeball
Technology is crazy
if you'd cut out the eye lashes and stuff that gives away that it's an eye i'd say it's a photoshopped thing
Could pass as some AI space creature tbh
ye
Also apparently if those veins are like enlarged and bleeding a little, it’s a sign of diabetes
Which is crazy
Photocopy my eyeball and just diagnose me with diabetes?
How the fuck does that work

have you ever watched a 2-3 hour long podcast with billy carson as guest? among many things he is claiming that tech exists that is 3 centuries more advanced than the tech the general public uses

On the other hand

Trying to meet me though
Sussy
One way mind you
Idk what that says about my purpose as an entertainer
I mean you are different, you aint no mere entertainer to me

Nice backpedal
Honestly the only possible answer
But for real tho, I was talking with you in here before you did any of the stuff and, while I appreciate your content, I still take you as the person you are around here/in DMs rather than as an entertainer in the common sense

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
idk if it is wrong channel or not i need help to get dagger from Doti(hardmode) can anyone help ?
I mean all rogues who Do doti need it themselves
thats why i asked if some one willingly spend their 10 min to help others 😄
seems like no
^^
Guys, how long has it been since we lost Exsanguinate?
There are still people paying others to trade the dagger

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.
Its really difficult to offer any input besides reading the wowhead guide
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
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.
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
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
I havnt looked into it too much so idk the ins-and-outs but ive heard it can be helpful
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
and you can ping whisp with pointless questions and for monster recommendations!
Cheers guys, yeah I'll maybe not bother utubers with really basic stuff, I'm sure that will just annoy them.
It’s our job to help (not a YouTuber) you can ask anything you want friend
Oof
we need the "whisp shotguns a monster" gif here
as the new !whispyr command
agree
He's here in discord and he likes to help, especially when people listen to what he says
dont be scared to ask questions
just be prepared that quiet a few answers will be either "its in the wowhead guide" or "yeha, you should sim that" cus thats honestly what answers most of them
I believe the best course of action for any new rogue player is:
- join ravenholdt and say hi;
- read wowhead guide;
- still have questions? Ask them here #assassination
and if you own a pet, post pet Pics in #1146207476983812117
Raidbots.com is our friend and stats don't matter at much for us as they do for other specs/classes
I love George man
As an old rogue i could advice you watching and reading some guides.Starting from basic stuff to more advanced.Rogue can be rly complicated but u definitely SHOULDN'T use a helper.Not only its wrong but it kills whatever process u might put yourself through to think how the specc/class functions
if you want to play a true rogue you can take a look at the outlaw channel .. 😄
Off with you, yellow name
:D:D
silence wannabe warrior

define a true rogue
go and complain about energy 

Yeah go and ahm... Stack haste!
I have never played outlaw but I can see how it would be better in dungeons? I'm sticking with my focus on poisons and assasintion.
bro wants attention or just to get scolded for talking nonsense
na i'm learning assa too currently, really fun specc and the boys here are really helpful
nice thing u stopped by to play the fotm before u get bored of it
''true rogue'' lmao
Sin is really fun in dungeons, just not so much when mobs die in 10 seconds
this season i kinda find assa to be better than outlaw, because pulls are usually so big that you just go ham on them
u wouldnt understand a rogue even if he was dancing infront of u
that was a joke sapzilla, chill, you didnt get he vibe
and if the key is still low you will just have sudden demise onetap the mobs
its the wrong idea for the new blood
im an outlaw main i still dont spew nonsense
Batman couldn’t beat that one outta me homie
hahahah
drama queen 
💅
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
To be honest, I also don't know whether the Rotation Helper can manage the pooling properly...quite important for the spec
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%
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
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
as soon as you understand why you are pressing X ability at X time the rotation is gonna be much more simple
like pressing shiv before kingsbane and during it
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
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+
I think having studied sin alot,in and out and watching pretty much all the guides out there that could teach me anything
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
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)
I too like lightning
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
they are also good to lower your mental load, but thats the same with weakauras
Ye
It’s kinda like bloodmallet, which also gets a lot of hate sometimes
It really depends on how you utilize the information
understanding the data is always important
bar big, better then bar small
so you wanna tell me that size does matter 
ofc it does 
they all say that but when I pop my deathmark and KB combo they cry it hurts
Assassination to me is fun because it’s the only class where my DPS is still climbing even after I die 
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version

have you tried not unaliving?
has anyone ever had a sim on raidbots taking more than 2 hours?

if you are simming dslice with replacement gems I could see that
mdt sim with replacement gems and enchants
whats mdt sim
a dungeon sim thingy
Running anything not patchwerk would do that too
so no wonder you are taking so long
ah
special dungeon route sim with gems and enchants
It’s basically running an actual dungeon.
its obv not my first mdt sim but for sure the first to take that long
i mean from what i know, gem sims already take their time
and you kinda just stacked everything in that sim
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
so i was wondering if i may have broken something
no bro its gonna take another 2 at this pace
For the most part gem sims are also kinda pointless as the differences are so low
the poor computer working harder than a bitcoin mining rig in order to get you that sim.
0.2% gain
that sim must cost more than the montlhy payment
also kinda true
Yeah mdt sims runs through the entire gauntlet of packs that you send it. So if you sent it like 15 packs plus all the bosses, its gonna take a long time.
Get your money’s worth king
im trying to find best gear, enchant and gem combo while maintaining a certain vers level so it needs to be a bit more ... "extensive"
Margin of error Sim 
ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME
not sure if 2% is margin of error.... no pretty sure it's not
that is from yesterday's mdt sim with gems
no MDT
Mdt is just dslice with extra steps
idk ive maxxed out the combo numbers when trying to figure out crafting + gems and i dont think it took 2 wholeass hours 
but i usually let it go and then go make dinner while it's thinking and then forget ive got a sim going and then close the window when i come back
dslice with added steps but no extra worth
I wouldn’t say no extra worth
idk, every tc ive heard so far said its overly specific to a point where stuff happening just makes it not accurate again
and the common way to sim gear for m+ is better
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
anyone able to help me out with a quick look into a log of mine? wowanalyzer doesnt put out anything useful regarding the middling performance
id say i played pretty well here and still got a shitty log, idk maybe its just killtiming and the missing enhancer+PI but still
3:37 is a meh kill time
Wf+pi is alot of dps probably close to 30k iirc and yeah 3:37 kill timer is rough for assas
probably wont get PI so fast so lets forget that, with WF id be around 10-15k higher DPS wise which still seems turbo low idk
- Talents are slightly wrong
- Opener is slightly wrong
- no PI or Totem
wrong talents? huh
mind elaborating?
ah you mean imp ambush?
imp ampush is worse than tight spender
the envenom before DM needs to be at 5+
Imp ambush is bad ye
the envenom thing is what wowanalyzer said as well i gues
Also fucked up a light amount on CP, nothing major. You’re also using tepid vers which is a no.
You’re not gonna die to crit flask 
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
exactly
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
the play well thing is the critical part for me
I mean if this is how the officers are in the guild
I’d pack my fucking bags lmao
i dont think i have been in a guild so far where this talk didnt happen 
Fair enough I can’t dispute that. Mistakes happen and if you think players play perfectly 100% of the time, you’re wild. But if you’re not confident, you just gotta do what you gotta do
God damn
But that’ll be a loss of damooj
That’s actually depressing
Are there seriously that many idiot raid leads out there
sims say its around 3k
yes
more than enough yap
Does
i never got one of those talks because i either get oneshotted or i die when a wipe is called luckily
Doom
they check details and see that you died to 20k tick from flask
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”
I remember on Echoes prog melee being told to craft the defensive cloak
Because like 2 melee couldn’t live
too many numbers with too little context
ty guys for chacking logs btw, helped me at least a little
And I was just like “lol no, feint”
makes many raidleads think they are smart, but usually they are just even dumber
Ye gl chrissy
Didn’t a bunch of folks get asked to do that? And it’s like “wtf, I’m rogue”
yap i was also asked, never crafted the cloak
i would have just asked for a good reason in here for why not to craft it if they wanted to force me
Yeah it’s insane, like name another game where you can check the exact sequencing of every combat event and spell id and unit positioning
Logs contain
Such an insane amount of data
Well yuh. I just remember S2 and everyone getting asked to do that and people coming in this discord and being like “Do I have to craft the cloak?”
Yeah I remember too
Problem is most people don’t know how to navigate it 
Was a good time
I will admit, I get amazed when you guys find out like stacks of a buff through doing WCL queries. But then again, I haven’t sat down to learn how to do them so quickly like you guys do
For the most part you can just click things
Writing queries is rarely required
On mobile (where I do all of my log reviews)
I’m actually clinically insane for it 2
Yeah that part I can do. But like filtering during specific events or buffs was something I was impressed with
Just noting timing - makes it easy for sin
Thats what makes it so scary
This is why everyone loves me. Easier to love than to acknowledge my psychopathic tendencies (mobile log review and sims, sin rogue OTP)
Logs are a laptop or desktop activity for sure
Agreed
False bestie
I don’t know how you can scroll through timelines on your phone
You merely adopted mobile wcl, I was born by it, molded by it.
That’s why he’s the grungler
And I ain’t going landscape for that
That’s my secret captain
I don’t do timeline, I do sequencing completely. Beginning > end
Just cast > list
Gaze upon it
We grungling fr
I had a buddy work the merch booth with me at PAX one year. He’s also Asian. And we were selling team yellow, red, and blue shirts because that’s when Pokemon Go came out. He picked the yellow team and said “You merely adopted the yellow team. I was born into it.”

I might be a fraud Asian though. I’m awful at calc and got B’s in high school
And not a doctor/lawyer/engineer
What is your favorite cuisine
Thai second is a scary proposition
Japanese third, Chinese and Korean fourth

Italian 1st
Korean 2nd
Thair 3rd
Italians aren’t Asian 
Don’t disagree
Asian food is great.
Thai is probably my #2
Danish food where
Haven’t had a ton of Vietnamese or Korean cuisine
Italian food is just waay to good
In the trash
only good thing to come out of Denmark is Frikadeller
If you ever go to Portland, I’ll meet you down there and show you Viet food
I had Ethiopian for the first time recently
Weinerbröd pretty good
Good. Would love to try some
never had thair
Blud just said bro’s weiner 
Banh mi, pho, bun, all sorts of good Viet food
Okay
WEINERBRØD
Banh mi I’ve had
And pho
But never had a Vietnamese place
Same with Korean - I’ve had pieces of the cuisine but never like had Korean food if that makes sense.
I don’t think we have a big Viet population in TN…?
