whatever is better, maybe ill just pick something if its less annoying to play even if its slightly worse
make subtleties patreon lord jericho
nothing agains shawn but he stinks
LMAO
Well for me, once i knew the 2 hero talents for assassination were deathstalker and fatebound, My head was like "so imma be a deathstalker rogue then".
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Because the theme seemed interesting
she literally almost doesnt exist outside of 2books lol
deathstalker is also the only talent with lore behind it
surprisingly goes back to vanilla
Wasted potential
forsaken rogues are deathstalkers
thats why its plague dmg
The Deathstalkers (also called Darkstalkers and Rogues' Guild) are the assassins' guild of the Forsaken. Their numbers grew with the sanction of Lady Sylvanas.
Originally, they acted as the elite guard of the dreadlord Varimathras, but after the Battle for the Undercity, they do the same for the Banshee Queen.
In the Horde, the Deathstalkers rou...
there you go, its not that much to read
i thought there was another lore behind it besides the undead deathstalkers
Nah our lore is “plague damage”
wait im an undead rogue since i started the game, so i am an original deathstalker
the stars are aligning
"Deathstalkers are highly trained and extremely dangerous. The fact that they are undead helps them immensely in their role as assassins. As Forsaken; they have no need to sleep or even breathe air." This goes SO hard
with my name even
well, it somewhat forgets the fact that they are rotting corpses
yes, there is a lot to work with
"They can even pose as corpses, since by all means, that is exactly what they are"
i did mention the missed oppotunity in my wowhead feedback post
Cant be stealthy if u can be smelled from a mile away 
This heirloom trinket of item level 117 goes in the "Trinket" slot. An heirloom collection item. It is sold by Provisioner Mukra. In the Trinkets category.
iirc there was a story where a worgen found some undead just by smelling them or smth like that
cus
well, corpses smell bad
^ basically a signature thing they use
what is it?
undead are so dumb, just fart under the worgens nose and he will literally faint
Welp it seems that the smelling bad is resolved then
I love it when devs make things like this
fuck yeah W
(i have that heirloom and never bothered reading it)
yes
pog
These bits of lore are what make the game to me interesting
Having background lore to things helps with the immersion
And i'm pretty tired of being the damn champion that killed 412 gods
i assume this is where the plague idea comes from.
trivia is also interessting
thats a cool riding mount (plaguehound)
average 70+ old politican
If i'm using sudden demise, should I reapply my bleeds before 35% so that they hit for a lot? or do they not work like that
I don't really understand it
If you wanted to max the damage of exclusively sudden demise yes, but thats not the best play for damage overall. Better to just keep envenoming into the spatter target
Youre "losing" less damage when targets die before your bleeds have ticked out, so instead of losing all of the damage your bleeds had left you only lose 1/3
yes
you have found your true calling
it may not be optimal dps, but i have a lot fun watching sudden demise ramp up and execute everything in aoe
esp when the other dps are like "wtf, why did that guy just drop from 2mil to 0???"
In keys that I don't care about I might just try see how high I can get sudden demise to get up to
before knowing this I think the highest I got was 1.9m
go into an 8, press everything on the mob with the shock build, watch mob explode at 35%
how did the one spec with the most instant dmg do the least dmg

Thank you
Wish I had more ilvl tho
be pumping way more
It's a matter of time if you keep pumping like a madman
beat the fotm spec thats 8 ilvl higher than you by a mile, thats what we like to see
this time was with an aug so numbers are inflated and I died at the end too after I pressed every cd
Always
Question regarding our apl.. i dont use ambush while kingsbane/shadowdance active - only with blindside?
it doesnt rly matter iirc, it's basically margin of error
had a normal pug today that managed to cast two different heroisms at the same milisecond, we got both buffs/exhautions. checked my character sheet and was at 99% haste back down to like 20-whatever% as they expired. never seen it before; does something like that invalidate logs?
I mean, taking into account that it SHOULDNT work that way in case it did, then yes, log should be invalidated
yeah wasn't sure if anomalies like that were recognized lol. not that it matters, can't think of much worth less than my own normal mode log in meme season but just curious
If you care about it, then it is
fair enough, edited myself to reflect it
already eating crow on that statement
even with two heroisms rolling I did almost 100k dps less on Magm than Kazzara in the first 30s
examinin' it afterall
Am i a good player? nah just a regular heroic raider xD
I'm sure you're owning in heroic too. didn't mean to belittle parses, should have made it more clear I was taking no value in my own
probably wafting proc and kingsbane crits
just by being here you are already a good player 
In heroic i mostly run with my guild and i'm usually the guy my RL relies on to do mechanics
So i dont really CARE that much about my parses in heroic
in normal there are no mechanics so i just zugzug
Aberrus, s2 HC
as you can see on sarka, something went south
It was me doing bombs
xD
I'm an OkayISH player in hc
Mostly try to do mechanics correctly
i'm running sophic so that's probably it. wafting would still just be haste right? so probably wouldn't look too boisterous next to heroism doubled. but yeah good call that looks like the biggest difference between the pulls that i can discern
Always love seeing how different the game is for everyone
Some people think that way about LFR, but not normal+. Some people like you think like that in normal, but not heroic+. Then a lot of people think about that for heroic, but not mythic.
Like for me Heroic and anything below it kinda just fits in the same bucket.
It’s the closest I’ll ever get to stardom. I did the same earlier this season and got a 100 on some normals
Not that anyone looks at normal but
I looked
But I'm also used to starting on Heroic and moving on to Mythic, so going to normal/lfr is just the same stuff with less annoyances
In just mostly heroic gear
Doesn't matter if anyone ever sees it so long as you feel accomplished and good about it
Keep blasting
big words considering ceveriontwo is 3/10M sanctum
bit weird dontcha think
LUL
For me indeed normal raiding is to "so this bosses look like this and do this things ok ok", Heroic is where i have the most fun. I never raided mythic so i can't really talk above heroic
And honestly, i don't think i'd ever raid mythic. It looks like it requires a stable group, good schedules, eeeh not for me. I mostly pug stuff too after the first HC kill of AotC
Yeah it's not for everyone. Whenever I play, I just pug everything, even some odd Mythic kills here and there. But yeah guild Mythic's is definitely an investment of time and energy, but it's great fun if you have a nice group of like-minded people with similar goals.
But the heavy investment is also why I stopped doing it, I just have no interest or time to play the game hours upon hours every day to get the absolute best gear and do content that I don't enjoy doing as much (Mythic+)
My group is indeed like-minded... To do Aotc and "see you next season" xD
Yeep that's perfect then
This. I stopped feeling good about just running m+ one after the other for a chance on "BiS" items to be max ilvl possible... for what? I finished all my goals at 516, no need to force above it for me
Well, I personally love the chase.
That's what's always been interesting to me. Making my character as strong as possible and improving my own skillset as much as I can.
With so many externals and whatnot in the game, it kinda ruins it for me. It's hard to tell what I did good and what I did poorly when dps fluctuates by so much because of Evokers and externals.
I wanna improve and get better and see progress and be the best that I can be
It's just not the same anymore
I enjoyed parsing and logging because it shows me clearly how I perform compared to others, and more importantly, how I compare today to myself in the past.
I'm mentaly clapping for what you just said. Huge respect for that mindset
Fortunately for me, I don't share that sentiment to the fullest :3
I enjoy parsing because I'm a narcissist that wants to look down on lesser creatures
my kingsbane crit and yours didn't
and so I'm better than you
shrimple math
Me, looking at my guild members
facts
if you're playing in guilds at your level what are you doing
everyone knows the strat is to play in worse guilds
that way you can feed your god complex
LOL
I mean it's just basic logic
a true narcissist doesnt need paraes for that, they know that they are better by default
actually, a true narcissist needs to prove they're better, and what better way to prove it than having a number to point at
that makes it a statistic
At the time when i did this, it was r10 world, (heroic) and it was the first time my RL asked ME "Yo Royal, how're your CDS? Can we pop lust?" They waited for my CDs to pop lust and i really obliterated that boss at the time.
I FELT like a GOD
that's what I'm saying man
you play in a competitive guild you're like middle of the pack
you play in a worse guild you get a syrup footjob under the table at dennys after raid
these are your two options
you'd be a fool to pick the first
Option 3
I play in a guild where i meet my Raid leader / guild master whenever my glasses need to be fixed
And my tank lives nearby
and most of the other folk live in the same city as me
:3
nah, real life friends aren't real
LOL
These are
My RL bought my glasses because he knew i was having trouble at the time (money wise)
bro thinks he's better than me cause he has loving relationships with humans
smh my head
use pics of linux as counter move
(i want linux pics)

I'd counter that picture with another picture
But luna is sleeping ON TOP OF MY PHONE
smh
i'm lost u-u nick of time is still bis but, do i have to run m0 to get it then upgrade it or wut?
Hey Guys, are both rings viable? Diurna and Duty? in Guides Diurna is written, but the stats on Duty are better 🙂 is it just because the fire procs?
Fire proc ring = normal stat ring + some fire dmg
Simming says diurna 4,4% increase duty 1,8% because of the mastery i think
It has to do with your status for sure yes
fresh 70 no big gear
yeah i think this will be the way
filial duty is just a ring
some extra ilvl
but not really special
it's really whatever
whatever the highest ilvl stuff you can find is good
and from there just sim
and gg
yeah boosting ilvl and learning rotations 🙂

Hello everyone, good evening, could you honestly tell me what the current situation is with the rogue for m+ in the next exp?
too soon to tell, they're waiting for reworks too
M+ meta is determined based on many different things. It’s way too early to tell what specs are going to be strong (tuning isn’t done), how they fit into those dungeons (the dungeon/affix tuning isn’t done), or what profiles are needed in the season at large (impossible to know until the other two are fairly done)
What I do know is that we’re definitely not waiting for reworks
It’s insane to think we’re getting reworks at this point
No one reasonable is waiting for that
Its also hard to predict M+ Meta, when they changed the whole M+ Affix System
Idk about that
Raid buffs and utility isn’t going away
Which means that some classes will always be more desirable than others
Looking at Augs, Mages, Priests
Don’t think the affix system has anything to do with it tbh
Especially for your random keys
Itll be easier to get into a key
When Incorporeal and Afflicted are gone
I don’t think so
Idk my experience is, people want 3 dispellers in afflicted weeks
Ppl will fucking look at the high pusher meta and ignore the other classes anyway
Switching up affixes just means less annoying shit to deal with, the pug meta is not going to change. They’ll invite a fotm spec over anything else 10/10 times, whatever the affix may be
Don’t get me wrong, I think these changes are looking good but people’s mindset is not going to change
Well Obvious
There will be a meta
I just siad, you cant predict which Classes/specs will be meta
Because affixes and hero talents
blizzard cant fix community perception
You cant fix, people making Clik Bait Videos for views
God bless whispyrs thumbnails and video titles
I don’t see the god comp dps slots change but we’ll see
Correct
Do you usually push for big Rio?
Fortunately I don't push r.io, I hate watching GF standing in queue > get accepted > key bricked midway > repeat
My mental health does not allow me to suffer like that anymore
Thats why i said, if its again a season with god comp
You can aswel delete M+, because i can imagine most people say
fuck it
Besides wow have you played / Play any other MMO?
Yes
Technically
Escape from tarkov is also an rpg
I played it like wow
What i mean with thst, i was addicted
division 1 big good
recently ubishit killed its only ongoing activity that ppl still came back for
Other than wow I was never really addicted to "anything".
I do enjoy going back to FF14 from time to time but that's it
were just getting old
40% gamer 🙂
DR 
“True rating” is crazy
as in alot?
As in tf does that even mean
Like you would have the same percent with that much rating?
But you physically have more rating
Probably just adds like 0.2 of your rating thats in the 20% Dr and so forth
So what’s the point
no point rly
just irrelevant information
Incredible addon
True ):
Its how much ""effective"" rating you have, as in exactly how much crit is counted for your percentage
If hypothetically the game was different and your gear wasn’t the gear that you have, you would have the same %
So thats the number you'd divide by 180 to get the amount of mastery points/crit%/haste% you have 🙂
I mean that’s just not correct math though
Cause he has 9800 mastery
That’s the number you divide to get mastery points
Everything related to DRs outside of Sims is just irrelevant info
No because of DR, but yes its dumb either way
The dr is then applied in relation to those points that he has
Aight it actually hurts my head trying to explain how stupid that is
Whatever
Back to bed with my ass
its hurting my head trying to understand the addon and the explanation of how dr works, you guys are too smart for me
just some imaginary world where 1 stat of something would be same as 1 stat of something else so the DRs would matter
but unless youre playing remix and havent capped them all yet mostly useless
My head hurts
But it has nothing to do with this here
get well soon 
I will make an attempt for you pookie
Stats on gear get converted to actual % values. 100 crit on gear being 1% (just as an example). But mastery is a weird one cause it’s different on every spec in the game so what do you do? Well you do the same conversion, but instead of 100->1% mastery, it’s 100->1 mastery point->x%. For assassination it’s 1.7% per mastery point but that’s pointless number you don’t need to know.
Now, blizzard introduced diminishing returns to try and curb gear going crazy as fast as it did. From 0 to 30, you have no penalty, from 30 to 39 there’s a 10% penalty, from 39 to 47 it’s 20% penalty, etc etc. It’s basically tax brackets but for secondary stats.
Every spec in the game starts at 8 mastery points, and then gains from there, so the first 22 mastery points from gear, no issue, full value. Then you’re in the 30-39 bracket, so getting an additional 9 points from gear is actually 8.1 points due to the penalty. So you actually need 9.9 points to get 9 points of value, and reach that next breakpoint. Now you’re in the 39-47 range, so getting 8 more points would be hit with a 20% penalty, so you’d only get 6.4 points, and you’d need 9.6, etc etc.
The addon is trying to tell you where you are in those brackets, and then giving you a “true” and “lost” rating. The “lost” rating is kinda easy, it’s the math we just did where having X points of stats didn’t actually give you the value because of the penalty. The “true” value is the confusing part, because that shit doesn’t make any sense. It’s taking your actual mastery on gear, that you have equipped, taking away the “lost” value, and then spitting that number back out…. Which would be the amount of stat that you would need to have to reach the same percent that you do now with your current gear, if the diminishing return didn’t exist. Which it does. And you also don’t have that gear, you have more than that gear. So… why?
Brain nourishment
Can you put Subway Surfer in it?
bro farms everything in pandaland,cant read 3 paragraphs
so i can concentrate on it
aight dr makes sense, addon is still a wtf moment, thank you for the explanation 
One more fun fact is that mastery points on subtlety affect rupture differently from every other finisher
It’s 2.4% for evisc and 2.7% for rupture
Or something like that
But the mastery on your character sheet will only show the evisc number
So you’re actually getting free hidden bonus value on sub’s rupture
So what you are saying is
This game is not spaghetti
And I think prot paladin double dips diminishing returns
Cause it’s mastery gives block
And block has its own DR
So you can DR the mastery giving a DR’d block
Very cool game tbh
it basicly does something stupid we dont rly need.Takes the actual maximum stat quantity and derives the quantity after DRs which then categorizes it as ''lost''.Thats some ''ive got plenty of time to play hipster while editing an addon'' type of thang
Maybe
Thinking about the vengeance one
Cause isn’t vengeance extra armor
Doesn’t armor dr
I think Armor is just a steep sacling
It’s just numbers no one needs to know or care about basically yeah
I remember something about ironfur though right
Idk
We’re reaching the end of my game mechanic knowledge
Armor isn’t my problem
I mean its technically DR too?
where as example 20K armor gives you 50% reduce
but 40K gives you idk like 70%
ye
2 hours later
you guys still talking about DRs?
The only DRs that really matter are stun DRs
btw guys did you know warlocks can manage to not do dmg in an academy?
i found out its hard to press rain of fire
yap
he was doing 600k on pulls where other destros do 6M
also he did less dmg than a 513 frost mage
i dont even know how a 513 frost mage got into a 12
did you time it
Key difference between cleave build and arterial shock build is losing scent and sudden demise yes?
Just reading on wowhead, looks more likely if I swap from arterial it will be to the hybrid build
Or just don’t swap 😄 haha
Key difference is that Cleave is much more ST based and requires you to slam KB on every pack and not have youe target die before it ends or you do no deeps
Bleed build is just consistent damage on every pack and much better on lower keya
I would personally just play Arterial Shock everywhere
Unless you're playing 15+ keys
Yeah that’s what I thought as well I just wanted to make sure I was going the right direction
And I’m only just hitting +10 so no stress about 15s hahahaha
Aye, i just did the dmg of the 2 together 
you're playing rogue dont make silly jokes like that
Im usually top dps ngl
Only way im not is if i troll or play for mechanics
Like av endboss shards
Is there a particular place that is recommended for guides on the sin rotation? Looking through pins, the post there is from 2023 so that would be a bit outdated
Are you sure they're outdated?
The pin from 2023 is a Wowhead/icyveins link
Which remain accurate as guide sources
!guide
Assassination Guides:
Wowhead: https://www.wowhead.com/assassination-rogue-guide
IV: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-guide
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
Nope, but it links to WowHead and IV. I ask because I know as a feral druid main, neither of the guides are all that great.
They're good for us.
Can you show me the build?
I feel like i'm confused with all the different builds
This is the build i've been playing for most of my mythic+ keys (besides halls and ruby)
My main target is always dead before the first shiv is even over, so like still 6/7 seconds left on Kingsbane no matter what build i'm playing
play higher keys then 
Can't get into anything
I'll apply to groups for like 20minutes of just declines after declines
more than capable of timing these keys
the target dying to fast is with any build, I think this one is least reliant on KB dmg
That’s the arterial shock build, minus you not taking Iron Wire
Hmm, I think I may of swapped out the talent when I was killing the council boss last week and went with increase damage of weapon poisons instead
Never noticed till you just told me, was wondering why they weren't getting silenced lmao
Sweet, thanks just making sure
Welcome to m+
Yeah it's sadge, main reason why I was playing tank this season, I get accepted into the first key I apply to
list own key
problem solved
unless you get nokhud
you probably wont see many people apply there
20 mins can be on the short end tbh
I've waited upwards of an hour before
Posting own key is the only way
have you tried speccing fire mage or shadow priest?
works most of the time
hmmm 
So I am hitting ~230K on my ST opener, but as soon as I hit vanish toward the end of the opener my DPS tanks. Am I doing something wrong? Or does details just not like training dummies?
!details
To stop details from resetting on vanish, go into the settings and under Overall Data, make sure "Use Dynamic Overall Damage" is checked.

tyvm
Looks good to me
Man just needs Iron Wire instead of FC
Also with the bleed build you just slam garrys and ruppies and cts on everything and then kb
Sudden demise will do the rest
It's okay if targets doe before kb enda
super basic question, but does asa finish on minimum 4 or 5 combo points?
That's why you play that build and not cleave
4+ generally
It fluctuates a bit
In TWW it's 5+ always
Because of hero talents
It was 4+ because of tier set
who garry 
Garry's a homie
Garrys and ruppies
hate listing my own key
I may have been playing it wrong then
I just do 2 garrotes into a rupture, then shiv deathmark shadowdance kingsbane
thats something you would do with the cleave build
actually crimson temp just after the rupture too
and i think even with cleave you would spread rupture twice
I almost never dot everyone up
especially in tyr weeks, the pack is dead so fast it's not even worth
especially there its more worth to spread bleeds
to get sudden demise value
because your kb wont last even 5 seconds
i mean depends on pull, if its like 7-9 mobs i would easily garrote/rupture them all
Gotcha
before going into dm/kb
Also
if I have deathmark coming off cd in say, 30sec, do I hold kingsbane or just send kingsbane
if its like 30 mobs (academy first pull), i just spread garrote 3 times, rupture like 3 times and then i do the dmg
Hmm gotcha, will start trying to do that then
maybe I will hit a bigger burst than 3.4m on algathar
cant really tell tbh
if its on bosses you hold
if its aoe and you think the mob would live for 30 seconds and then live another 20 with your dm/kb then hold
or if you know that a big pull is coming up i would hold
but if the next pull is boss i would send so i have the dm/kb combo for boss
its hard to answer this imo because so many things can change each key
Yeah, just sometimes with running between packs I have kingsbane back and then deathmark has like 30-40 sec so I just send it
same with boss, was never sure
Def Garry everyone, Rupture 5 and CT everyone
i mean in low keys i would rupture even more
Thing is tho they just like incredibly fast
even when I do what I normally do, the packs last like 15 seconds at most
Exactly
Which is why you don't even think about KB
And just slam big bleeds
Which then SD will pop
Shiv everything
Under Zoldy range (35%), all bleeds and Shiv
Mobs go poof
kb somewhat comes into play in keys like ruby where you have smaller pulls and a big mob every pull
halls i cant even find a kb/dm target in 8-10s before frog boss
Do you guys have any logs of your damage
so I can compare to mine see what it's looking like
around the 8 key range
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4DGdwnJBzZ2b3rP6#fight=2&type=damage-done
i have this, a bit of an older log and i probably could have done better (just looked through my keys to see if anyone logged them)
thing is tho
I did the thing by dotting everyone up and the most I did was 800k dps
then did what I normally do and did 1.4m on the same pack
I definitely need to grab one of my logs, is it just because it’s AA that you have so much spatter damage?
well pressing cooldowns always gonna be more dmg, but like one of them just makes 1 mob explode, the other is spread out dmg
hmm i dunno, probably? i mean first boss is big spatter dmg, first pull is also good spatter dmg if your group doesnt do dmg (as you can see mine didnt)
also pressing cooldown on the wyrms near vexamus also big spatter value
I mean I dotted everything up then pressed my damage cds, but then did the same pull again but did my normal rotation and pumped so much more
Which I think was better too because it killed the main guy
(nokud)
nokhud pulls are usually 2 garrotes, 2 ruptures (so both is on 5 targets) and then do dmg
we did double pull in the first one
This was the overall
Ret with broken legendary
i mean what also works is dotting up when you are gathering mobs, sending when you are done with it
Pretty much what I do normally
If mobs are gathering i'll keep dotting
like algathar
also scent of blood exists which is gonna increase your dmg
I just keep dotting till they all together then burst
if you rupture more than once
didn't even notice that talent ngl
just read what it does
but yeah in theory it should make me do more damage but with packs dying within seconds, there's almost no time to dot
you burst the one guy and hit 1m+ dps
or you can spend 10sec dotting and then only have dot damage
that's what it feels like to me
i never really tried to optimise my dmg in low keys, i kinda just do whatever and watch videos
so maybe just sending is better
dunno really
ye probably
like i tried the cleave build today in a 9 ruby
and the mobs died before i hit my last 5 sec on kb
every time
Pretty much happens in every key i'm doing
but the damage even with kingsbane not getting full duration feels like it does way more
Same for algathar, when I dot the main guy and kb + dm the spread damage is almost instantly killing the small ads around so no one else can do damage 💀
522 SP and 523 Fury
i mean i just kinda enjoy spreading bleeds so in low keys i just go full in on that
this was the damage at the end
even went internal bleeding instead of caustic 
Sheesh
would not recommend
tbf I was using the cleave build for the longest time till I joined this server
but it was fun
was just t he raid build
and I was still pumping kinda but again was just low keys
most overall i've hidden was 8 algathar tyr week
but yeah I mean I won't really know what's better personally until I do start pushing the high keys
i mean technically shock build is the best for low keys
because of all the sudden demise value
cleave build worked for you probably because less ilvl = less dmg in your cooldowns = mobs living more of your cooldown
Yeah true, well the images I just sent from that key was the shock build
but I started with the cleave build because I used Archon to copy the talents of the top players
which I later learn wasn't good because it's only used in keys above like 15
also if you really feel like spatter is more of your dmg than spreading bleeds and sudden demise then you could go the hybrid build
This is the damage breakdown
It's basically the most damage
sudden demise is giving you the SD dmg, and increasing all of your bleeds dmg
the execute part is just something that makes your bleeds not go to waste on mobs that still have like 15 sec on them but die already
Yeah, it was really good on the mobs before the bird boss, SD was always my top damage because everyone else would burst it when I put dots on so I would be top
then I pop all my cds on the next pack and hit 1.8m
also cooldowns plus SD work well in low keys
i usually insta pop the worm at 35% hp in an 8
like the big one around vexamus
Its because of the first aa pull
And the tree boss
That combo gives astronomical spatter dam
i'm just him >:)
Yeah I guess so
Yo can someone look at some of these pulls and maybe check out the boss fight? I feel like I'm hitting a wall right now and would love some tips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAlrfg6Djfc&ab_channel=dapigspajamas
I will just say this before i fall asleep, its a +3 so i assume you are early in learning assa. Either check out the wowhead rotation guide or watch whispyrs videos
Both of those will help out a lot if you understand the basics
You've asked before with a video. Just to reiterate, a log is a much cleaner way for us to review because it means we don't have to try to parse through your UI and understand what you are casting.
Ohhh how do i do that?
!logguide
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

Damnit that's not it
Getting Started with Warcraftlogs https://www.wowhead.com/guide/how-to-use-warcraft-logs-6341
Logging your combat is a very powerful tool, and the main way of finding mistakes and improving yourself. Logging your raid, mythic+, or even just when you hit a dummy can be great way to learn!
Here's some common things to look at for rogues:
Checking your resources/overcap: Table -> Resources -> Energy/Combo Points from the dropdown
Buff Uptime and trigger amount such as adr/envenom/symbols: Table -> Buffs
Checking casts: Timeline -> Casts (shows sequencing) or Table -> Casts (for cast overview)
There it is
Lmao learning this game is also learning all the plugins and tools too which is a lot
is what it is
thanks!
Yes it is.
Damn this tool is really cool though
Again, hard to know your exact casts because it's not a log, but just as a small bit based on the first pull, your first pull you spent a ton of time prepping bleeds and are really delayed getting KB out. You also cast a naked shiv well before cooldowns, then you swap back to the big boy (good target choice) then you use kingsbane then shiv.
The good: You do get some bleeds out before going into cooldowns, you select the right target after spreading bleeds.
the bad:
-(this first one is really important)you don't use Mutilate on your KB target so there's no spatter up, there's no cleave going off. It's extremely important to do this before your KB and during it to keep spatter up for the duration (really it should just be on your main target even without KB up).
-After getting ruptures out you spend 2 finishers on envenom that really don't need to be there and only wasted time in getting your CDs up.
-You sent a naked shiv before KB, and the only shiv you cast with KB was at the start of KB, not the end
-You didn't use deathmark, you only used KB.
-You didn't use Tea for the end of KB.
i have never seen this much spatter dmg
Those are just what jumped out to me on brief inspection of the video for the first pull
Thanks! that is already really helpful next time I will post a log haha
and just to clarify the first point I need to make sure to Mutilate right before and during kingsbane to maintain the splatter right?
That’s a lot of words. I ain’t reading em
That's great news cause you don't have to 
It’s also cause I can’t read
I refer back to my previous statement 

guess i'm just that good at assassin
breaking records and shi
fr
think I should be the one making youtube guides on assassin and writing the wowhead ones too
having that high spatter damage is a bad thing or good thing tho?
take it by all means, the money ain't worth the time 
It's pretty situational, but I think having it that insanely high consistently points to a rotational mistake more than like "it's bad" or "it's good"
oz pointed out that like in AA and stuff there's some good opportunities to crank caustic
but generally garrote should always be top followed closely by CT/Spatter/Rup/Sang
those 4 kinda go back and forth generally
but if caustic is that high it probably means you're sacrificing bleed damage to just single target slam 24/7
which like, it's fine
the high end meta sorta does that
but especially in lower keys that kinda just won't work
well yes, but no
logs combine the tier
so his envenom combined is number one, yes
but if we're comparing to a details breakdown, no
oh
he's got deadly and amp
so he's playing DTB
which cranks kingsbane damage much higher
in m+ it is yeah
there's basically 3 builds, each one slightly more single target than the last
Actually another thing so in the raid
I randomly burst almost 1mil dps
1 time
I have no clue why
ye
I have never been able to hit that high since
your kingsbane crit
and you got good poison procs
that's what happens when you play one of the most rng specs in the game
dang
Nah I didn't
Yeah similar happened to me on mythic Igira. I had some pulls where I was like 860k at max. Others I was only 6-700k
what da heck
this is the results
of 10 sims
same gear and everything
but it's 25 seconds, 1 iteration
basically just snapshotting what the dps is like 25 seconds into a pull, ten times
so like
RNG kekw
this one is 2 minutes 10 seconds
this one is 2:30
identical otherwise
damn
(that's back to high iteration count, that's not 1 pull)
but like
if you're doing 1 pull
your opener you missed some rng
and then you killed in 2:10
you just end up doing bad damage
and its completely out of your control
sometimes you have a good kill time, but you didn't have good rng during either cd phase
meh
the big parses will have both usually
a lot of the times, top parses even have quite easily spot-able mistakes
but god tier rng will beat out a couple % worth of bad play typically
just be like that
that's partly why it always makes me a little pissy when people are like "oh but insert top 5 log did XYZ, and look, they're cranking"
like yeah, XYZ is wrong, they're cranking cause they're in a cranker guild that's able to smash the boss and he's full padding with a demonic kill time
90% of that parse is not related to anything they're doing
it's a hard pill to swallow though for a lot of people
it's much easier to believe that what you're doing matters, than to accept that you can't control it
Yeah sadge
please dont talk about my life like that
hey no
you can control things in your life
like an oven
you control ovens really well

You can control making fun of Quake
no I can't
no thats just automatic
it's completely involuntary
Hi is this okay for SOD?
in the Classic channel there's a pin with some other discord servers that may be more what you're seeking
yeh we generally don't do classic stuff
Oh nice thank you
Any dedicated channels for TWW discussion?
They're the channels with #tww-X
i must not have permissions, i figured that was the issue, thanks
that's strange
all the spec channels have synced permissions
if you see this channel you should be able to see them all
Stoked everyone, slowly creeping up in keys and my DPS is staying consistently up each key too
350ish on 6-8 at 512 ilvl
Just need to farm crests like crazy, my friends and I want to do all 10s next week
for the crimson tempest + amp build, do u actually recommend playing without vigor
you play vigor on every build
idk what ct+amp build you're referring to, but there exists nothing atm where you would drop tea or vigor
okay you got me
that one does drop vigor
the reason for that one is just cause it's less buttons and people had big problems with buttons and wanted acro
no one really plays it these days
Hi guyz, could somebody can tell me how blessing of autumns works on Assa rogues ?
Ho ok but it works on all CDs ?
It's 30% of the cd and up to 10sec max ? Is that what you meant ?
Yes
30% faster for 30 seconds
So instead of 1 second every second
You get 1.3 seconds every second
1.3 seconds for 30 seconds is 39 seconds
So at the end of those 30 seconds, your cooldowns are 9 seconds ahead of where they would’ve been
No
Cause you’d apply the garrote, lose your improved garrote after 6 seconds
And the tooltip would just go back to normal
initially it was cuz i was leveling with assa and trying to see what the stuff did
But I guess sure
just dont wanna mess with my plater
It’s really confusing imo and you could just grab a standalone tracker
But I guess it works
wym with mastery stuff
once u have the dmg out
it cant go down unless u refresh right
Well if you gain or lose mastery the value would change
The 50% from improved garrote stays until you refresh
Everything else still changes
oh weird yah if i take off gear it live updates
Ok thx a lot Whispyr 👍
Np
I would assume it has a minor impact on Assa ? (If there is only one autumn)
Since It would desync KB from Ashes
Ye ok that was I though 😅
It's more of a bad design to me isn't it ? Rng shouldn't be so determinant that it overcome good execution no ?
depends on what "good execution means"
Flawless rotation
but I personally think rng is too heavy
assa on live is like a 15% swing
it's actually insane
U mean there is a 15% average variation between flawless rotations ?
yes
It's way too much yes
what makes it such a big gap? ambush procs?
And I assume the variation goes up with the fight time length
variation decreases with longer fights
wafting devotion, kingsbane poison procs and crits, and the baseline 5% variance the game adds to everything
are kinda the big 3
can u snapshot sophic procs, or are those dynamic like u mentioned earlier
Ah ok yes you have more and more chances to get good rng on your next burst statistically i suppose then
idk what that would entail, so I'm gonna say no
improved garrote is the only thing that isn't dynamic
yeh nightstalker too but that's gone in a couple weeks god bless
"hey let's go to the gym?"
Royal: sure, 9:30am?
"Yes, that fits my schedules nicely!"
I've yet to see them.
Don't you guys love schedules?
try to get your tabletop grpup togheter

Where do you guys go to get your stuff crafted to 525?
Or does anyone know someone that will craft for me haha/.
trade chat
My GM is our jewelcraft & enchant fella
ohh i see
no healer, pretty cool to see
oh. lol. he pumped tho
yeah he was 527
ilvl doesnt say that much though
It means that he played a lot more than me xD
you wouldn't happen to be on area52 would u? cx
Does anyone know the range of cuastic spatter and is it from the target its on or from me
9y from the target

Does feral druid play similar to assa rogue? I noticed they have hella bleeds, combo points, energy pooling, and stealth too
feral is probably the closest to rogue
Yes and no. I'm a Feral main. The biggest difference is that Sin is rotational while Feral is reactional.
They both rely on pandemic timers and there is some snapshotting in the sin opener, but Feral relies heavily on snapshotting
And IMO, Feral is much easier.
with ns gone in tww, does this change?
I'd think that a reactionary playstyle would be harder than a rotational one
I find it a lot easier myself.
Isn't that because you're a main feral druid? :p
I don't know how Feral is going to play in TWW to be honest. I don't have beta access. From what I gather it will play much the same except that they are slowing down the playstyle by slowing down energy regeneration. Beyond that I haven't payed too much attention and am just looking forward to working it out myself once the expansion drops
That kinda sounds like what I have gathered about assassination rogue as well (also don't have beta)
both can be difficult
I really hate that too. The pacing of Feral and Rogue along with the complexity and niche mechanics are what makes these classes so fun to play for me.
Figuring out the bleed/execute build for AoE for example is a blast. That is not your average AoE playstyle in WoW 😄
Yeah absolutely, not downsizing feral playstyle. I'd just find it harder to react to stuff mid fight VS rotating CDs as they come like we have now

e.g. on assassiantion blindside procs are low reactive
Probably has a lot to do with which style you have the most time with. For me, memorizing rotations and executing them perfectly every time is really hard
on outlaw pistol shot probably need more thought
Feral snapshotting also isn’t really impactful
Tigers fury has 90+% uptime
You only snapshot one proc
It’s not that big of a deal
Which end, tigers fury is off cd before your current one runs out 
Especially on raid bosses, I don't think it's as big of a deal in M+
Dunno you have 90%+ uptime so there really is rarely a rip that’s not snapshotted with tf
Well you should have 90+% uptime ^^
Wish I was home so I can look that up in my logs 😦
What build do we use for halls? I feel like i'm doing literally nothing
with the current build i'm using
Ap shock every key. Every time
every day of the week
every week of the month
for all the remaining months till the expansion
(couldnt find any more every's)
Have you been having fun in cata dood?
making alot of gold
im planning on doubling my gametime before stopping
which probably means ill end up with a year and a half active sub
hello 🙂
really?
hi friend
is arterial still the best for low keys?
Hello!
this build?
i've been comparing cleave / arterial and one of the "most popular" builds from archon
or am I playing the wrong one
thats cleave
cant really get a proper reading
probably the worst halls build you could be running
this is hybrid,arterial shock has sudden demise
in what situations do you use crimson?

hybrid is fine for like 14-15 and up
halls i would probably still play shock up to 17
4+ targets if i remember correctly
and just keep up the dot
so dont spam it
is the tww beta available for everyone?
Has anyone got a pic of the build
so you do opener and use crimson before KB?
the build I should be using
or instant KB and go for crimson after
If you have the heroic edition yes
Otherwise you can get it randomly, but thats not guaranteed
ooh gotcha
Does someone knows why i sometimes have bonus cp that triggers after a mutilate ? and they are differed (1 sec i think)
usually ye, atleast thats how i do it
alright 🙂 thanks all
1s is weird, seal of fate is giving you extra CP if you crit
but it shouldnt be delayed
Thats so giga, lets go man. Are you atleast enjoying the gameplay?
im not playing rogue in cata 😅 played rogue when it was prime,now im into DK,Hunter and Mage tech
but ye cata is a banger
easy game easy life
Cata was by far my favourite expansion until legion came
Then legion occuppied the #1
ive played cata so much that i didnt read a single guide for anything

just logged and did what i had done back then
works

but im mostly focused on farming gold,having my characters on 356+ilvl is only by rep farming and gold making

Awesome thank you ☺️
crimson always in aoe, any pull with 4 or more targets.
basically all keys, never raid unless trash
And don't SPAM it, just once to apply the dot and thats it
Does meld allow you to use improved garrotes?
If you go into true stealth from the meld yes
So won’t work during bosses for example as you’re forced in combat and can’t stealth
The group was fighting trees in brackenhide but when I tried going meld->stealth it didn't work.
I was a bit away from the combat as a precaution
Yeah that’ll happen

That happens pretty frequently
The bosses can smell your stinky elf through stealth.
The best way i found to not have this problem is to NOT play nelf and switch to human and be cool. Im partially joking.
Its never gonna work in tww either if youre deathstalker because corrupt the blood keeps you in combat
