You want imp gar for dm and it lines up great like that

#

But if you’re just doing trash

#

Deathmark will kill regardless

mint valve
#

so for m+ if you get a clean restealth before a pack.. you would save your vanish to reapply improved garrote for when your initial carnage garrotes fall off?

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

Or the next pack

mint valve
#

ah the next pack for if the tank chain pulls

#

got it

errant trail
#

i feel like sometimes you have to wait when people use their CDS in certain situation because i feel like stuff dies really fast

#

but i could be wrong i’m still figuring out

balmy condor
#

Yeah especially in low keys

errant trail
#

yeah low keys im wondering if i just wait for next pack because warrior and arcane mage

#

blow all CDS

#

no way my death mark kb will be useful

#

even in a 12 on non tyran

#

this spec was meant for raiding tbh lol

Explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:

  • Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
  • You can add in some sanguine/rupture value from carnage, but chaining allows for higher uptime and smoother energy overall, eliminating a lot of ramp at the start of a pull
  • This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths (chain heavy spiteful weeks are only about -30% on stealths)
  • You still have vanish which gives you plenty of options to get your stealth effects
  • This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years

are there any youtube guides for prioritising rotation in m+ and raid? getting back into assassination after almost 5 years of core sub/outlaw

This video was from s3 but it's still for the most part accurate, check out his recent vids for more TWW specific stuff (again, all the major concepts are still the same from that video)

To note, this was recorded late thursday night before my raid testing group fell apart

AoE is a bit of a beast to tame and there's a lot more decisions to make, so we got a little bit more rambly in this one sorry :( watch it in 2x of something I don't blame you

i assume Envenom uptime is still really important right? just coming back to the game

runic hinge
#

Yeah if you mean it’s like 100%

gray flower
#

i mean like, do i have to be maximizing it or will it just be up all the time if im doing things right

guys there use to be a weakaura for kingsbane that showed enevonom/shiv uptime i cant find it anymore is it removed?

shy pecan
#

Look for Notter’s Kingsbane on Wago

fresh barn
#

found tnx

errant trail
#

if u dont go CT in M+ is it really trolling

#

this feels rly good tbh even tho not the favored

runic hinge
#

Depends on how high keys you’re doing and if you have something to live your kb for caustic to work every pull

#

Also MA can’t be better than something else where you don’t vanish for the end of kb anymore

errant trail
#

yue

#

what would u take out

#

for MA

#

?

runic hinge
#

if you can get dashing its better

#

if not probably imp poisons

i feel like Vigor is bad with Sanguine Blades am I right or right

the demand for ST increases as the key increases

not the other way around

#

Is there any bug with envenom hitting harder sometimes? i saw kush complaining about it yday aswell @balmy condor

#

that he didnt realise where more dmg is coming from

#

here i have only used 1 minutes

#

no 2mins

steel ridge
#

isnt maloch the first boss in mists?

#

that has a 3x dmg amp or something?

keen mantle
#

i mean i was doing 4.5mil envenoms

#

and not on first boss

#

is that normal?

#

Also are we aware that darkest night does not give energy back?

#

or im cooked?

steel ridge
#

deathstalker does massive envenoms, but i dont have any data myself on how hard it hits after the latest tuning

#

i heard some people do 3m before the last tuning, so i guess its kinda up there, yes

slate crown
#

Oh responded tow rong msg

#

but also darkest night gives energy back when you gain the darkest night buff, not when you cast the darkest night envenom

#

Yeah just did a 3.1M during deathmark on target dummies with 612 gear and serum up

#

Huh

#

Didn't clear the witnesses have a buff associated with it?

silk bane
# keen mantle

this is just shiv/execute/10% stat buff from flowers/on the damage amp boss on a darkest night envenom. seems normal

silk bane
slate crown
#

I'm just on target dummies and it doesn't right now

#

Like I'll apply mark but I don't gain a CtW buff

#

casting fok still does ctw damage tho

silk bane
#

its 2nd row 3rd icon from the left

#

try to setup a mark with darkest night see if it works. not sure if it works if u get marks through ambush from stealth

slate crown
#

Oh

#

I see it now, I thought it would have like

#

the same icon as the talent, or of the damage spell

#

and not something else entirely >.>

silk bane
#

that woulda been nice, but we got this... no idea what im even look at with this icon tbh

#

Does darkest night give you energy back boys? @silk bane

raw tusk
#

So is the general jist in m+ to dot up enough to maintain energy and then prio target and envenom to work off the splash of caustic?

shy pecan
#

Yeah

shy pecan
#

Can throw a CT in there too for more AoE damage as well

raw tusk
#

Sweet appreciate it, haven’t played sin since like season 1 and barely did then. Trying to relearn it

#

hey guys im looking at switching to my rogue for this expansion anyone got a build i can use to get used to the beta build with a rotation?

balmy condor
#

wowhead or pins

boreal pike
#

the builds you put on are to be used on beta or live?

balmy condor
#

yes

boreal pike
#

thankyou 😄

balmy condor

brave gyro
#

Thank you, Whispyr

balmy condor

limber lion
#

Damn the pins are op

#

Pls nerf

white lance
#

the vanish during kb we did before was for nightstalker right?

limber lion
#

For Master Assassin

white lance
#

oh right

limber lion
#

But because we lost so much power in Kingsbane with its nerf and the removal of Dance/Nighstalker, Master Assassin lost a lot of value as well

#

And no longer really sees play

#

We currently just use Vanish as means to reapply Improved Garrote

white lance
#

gotcha, thanks

alright, ima change to yellow

tropic falcon
#

hey, when playing with 7 cp talents, at how many should i start using envenom and rupture?

kindred breach
#

You should aim to use finishers at 6 CP

balmy condor
#

5*

kindred breach
#

Woops my bad

#

So if your at 4 CP you should use another builder

#

But not at 5

balmy condor
#

correct

grim jay
# balmy condor correct

what about if there is an important add spawning in the bossfight and we for some reason still play deathstalker, do we just finish at 4 cp then if DN is up to avoid risking a max cp envenom or the need to rupture instead?

balmy condor
#

no idea

bronze pike
#

We should have a talent that makes sin have 7 combo points

balmy condor
tropic falcon
#

do u guys have a recommended talentsetup for low keys? the ones on wowhead all use master assassin, but we dont wanna use that anymore right?

normal mist
#

Wowhead is updated

grim jay
#

then we do want to use it

#

the other nodes are just bad aswell

#

the bleed variant for m+ is better for lowkeys

#

with zoldyck

frosty junco
#

Hellou im new in WOW

#

Wanna try rugue, could you please share the guide

for dungeons and raid ))

tropic falcon
#

ye ok, ty guys :9

crystal nymph
#

hero talents for m+? is there any pic to see them

balmy condor
#

Deathstalker plays momentum lingering because the other choice nodes are trash, fatebound plays cold blood and inevitability

#

It’s pretty likely we see more tuning specifically on those choice nodes

#

Especially the deathstalker ones are really sus

rotund oak
#

deathstalker is

#

special

#

😅

balmy condor
#

Follow the blood is just really weird cause momentum of despair does the same thing but better

#

Like they’re so similar

#

Follow the blood is just damage
Momentum of despair is crit chance and damage, which is also just damage

#

Except crit chance then also gives cp and energy if you play dashing

#

And they buff all the same things

rotund oak
#

looks like bigbrain design

balmy condor
#

Yeh that choice node has always been a big wtf

#

It’s not much of a choice if both choices are identical

rotund oak
#

delusion node

royal lantern
#

more aoe dmg on the skill you use only in aoe

or more aoe dmg on the skill you use only in aoe

balmy condor
#

And then the other deathstalker choice node, symbolic victory is just really bad and that’s about it

#

Symbolic victory tbh should just be “envenom damage is further increased by 10% when cast during shiv”

#

Instead of just the first

#

Making it just the first envenom is problematic

rotund oak
#

personally i wouldnt even care for those nodes if the mark was reasonably applied and consumed

#

now im just silently griefing

#

sniffin massive amounts of hopium for something better

#

lets say u have a fight like experiments

#

mark falls

#

cya bruh

#

laters

balmy condor
#

Yeh, that’s basically what the second to last boss is

#

It’s not 3, but there’s similar jumping around and spawning/disappearing

rotund oak
#

yup ive seen that on ur stream

#

there is jsut no way deathstalker sees the light of day if mark remains like that

#

coinflip ftw

balmy condor
#

Idk why we even have timers on stuff either

#

Like why does the capstone need a timer

#

What’s the purpose

#

The only thing adding a timer to the capstone does is make it worse to play

rotund oak
#

yeah exactly

#

it just gates how fast the tree restarts

balmy condor
#

I mean it doesn’t even do that

#

If you’re in combat the timer is completely irrelevant because your top priority is getting the mark back up

#

So you got 30 seconds to apply an envenom and you’re doing it in 5

#

In aoe you’re doing the same thing as well

#

But in m+ if you have a long run between packs

#

And then have to spread your bleeds

#

Now you have pressure from the timer

#

And why

rotund oak
#

true

balmy condor
#

Like what’s the point of that

rotund oak
#

another bigbrain design

#

the way u put it its unnessecary pressure

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

Like the tree is functioning fine

#

The timer and the capstone triggering on death

#

Are great

#

But it’s just all these tiny things that make the hero talent absolute agony when you hit those situations

#

Like why does the aoe choice node do the same thing on both sides, kinda weird

#

Why does the capstone timer exist

#

Why does the mark drop during intermissions and shit

#

Is it intended that we fok in st?

#

All this kinda weird stuff

#

Shiv with fatal intent

#

Ya know

#

75% of these talents have some jank involved

royal lantern
#

idk man

#

just insert any of their ussual "here is a reason why thing has a clunky mechanic" reasoning

balmy condor
#

Yeh just undercooked

royal lantern
#

like, idk, my opinion is

#

some of those things are legit easy fixable

#

dont even need greater changes to atleast make it not akward/a pain in the ass and literally unplayable in some fights

#

and they just dont do it

#

so we have to wait for the comming "Bigger changes" in 1-2 patches and its finally allright

steel ridge
#

They just hate rogue… arcane mage feedback regarding nether precision got heard and fixed within days

#

Deathstalker is on life support since reveal

hoary remnant
#

Question: If we try to trigger our capstone [Fateful Ending] (aka lucky coin) with coldblood and 2 vanish charges it doesnt work. You would in theory break 2 stealth getting after first few sec in combat 2 guaranteed flips and another 2 for breaking stealth. Making it 5 and now another one with coldblood talent. I am probably missing something just want to know what

spice surge
#

It does work with double vanish

#

You just have to leave stealth for the vanish node to work (so you cant envenom in vanish)

#

Just that taking double vanish for proccing it earlier isnt worth it

hoary remnant
hoary remnant
spice surge
#

Why would it be, you'd have to spec double vanish

#

Which is like a 5% loss, just to proc the capstone 20 seconds faster on average

balmy condor
#

You’re telling me I can get a 0.2% gain for the low low price of a 5% loss?

#

WHAT A DEAL

you mean untalenting both your main cooldowns

might suck

for science ofc 😎

btw prepatch is so boring

Try the same build with swords, maybe it's better

thats it

no no i mean some 5 min sim

#

for dps and detailed stats

balmy condor
#

what would you need the sim for

#

it's beta numbers

ionic matrix
#

fatal intent working on beta at all? dont see it in details or in simc anywhere

fresh blaze
grim jay
balmy condor
#

the spell data is completely fucked

#

so it's just 0's

ionic matrix
#

interesting. Well beta is beta

fresh blaze
ionic matrix
#

not to be a doomer, cause I am certainly optimistic about the expansion, but it seems like there are a lot of bugs and pretty undercooked with where we are being 3 weeks away

slim hamlet
#

Kinda banging

balmy condor
ionic matrix
#

I have faith

balmy condor
#

usually expac releases and we don't have much until raid release

#

but they gotta just crank changes every week

#

there's no other way

ionic matrix
#

yeah, agreed

grim jay
#

ye like the actual point where it needs to work is still further away

#

people tend to forget that

slim hamlet
#

We got multiple bug fixes from 1st week of 10.2 till the actual raid release

#

Surely bug free when raid releases

ionic matrix
#

it does feel farther behind than in other expansions, but I think they can get it there in time

slim hamlet
#

Even recup is getting fixed this time prayge

ionic matrix
#

prayge!

#

soothing darkness prayge!

slim hamlet
#

hell no

ionic matrix
#

at least make it fucking work

#

can we at least get that

slim hamlet
#

Does it not work either lol

ionic matrix
#

it hasnt worked the ENTIRETY of DF

#

like literally heals for nothing

slim hamlet
#

huh

ionic matrix
#

as sub, you dance like every 30 seconds, it should be doing giga healing as sub

#

it does NOTHING

slim hamlet
#

I mean it only does healing if you need healing

ionic matrix
#

its not that it wont heal because you are topped

#

it just doesnt heal

slim hamlet
#

Crisp

#

idk this is from 10.2 for me

#

Seems pretty decent

ionic matrix
#

they might have fixed it

#

awakened

balmy condor
#

soothing darkness works

ionic matrix
#

it did a shit ton

balmy condor
#

recup is the one that doesn't

slim hamlet
#

^

grim jay
#

ye cant remember soothing not working

ionic matrix
#

you are right

#

i am looking at logs

#

it always worked

spice surge
#

Its just that it tends to overheal a lot

slim hamlet
#

did recup work in 10.0?

#

That seems pretty good

ionic matrix
#

10 minute fight

#

it does 250k healing

#

yeah...

slim hamlet
#

gigantic

#

More than I thought

#

I would've expected like 25k

#

Isn't the bug that it just stops working as soon as you stealth

ionic matrix
#

400 hps

slim hamlet
#

This is 10.1

#

idk why it doesn't suck omega on some of these

ionic matrix
#

like look at mine

#

0.04% over heal

rotund oak
balmy condor
spice surge
#

It worked for outlaw in 10.2 as well

slim hamlet
#

Like I remember looking at logs and it doing literally nothing

#

But it just happened to work decently on my kill logs

#

Wait does that mean recup is op? If it works you kill

balmy condor
#

surely

slim hamlet
#

Makes sense to me

ionic matrix
#

if it never over healed

#

it should do 3.3k hps per second

#

if you have a mill hp

#

at 1.5, it should do like 5k hps if it didnt overheal

#

it does 250.

ionic matrix
slim hamlet
#

Hell no

#

I don't play anything besides assa in raid

ionic matrix
#

crazy that it worked there and other times it does nothing

slim hamlet
#

We played that in 10.1

crystal nymph
#

for aoe rotation in IC window should i change target or it spreads garrote and rupture to targets those do not have debuff

#

i mean for 5 targets i assume if i use 2 times garrote and rupture on same target all targets have debuff?

storm forum
#

if there are 6 or more targets you should swap targets to an enemy that doesnt have gar or rup

#

yeah on 4 or 5 targets it doesnt matter

#

cause all enemies will get emp gar, even if you use it on the same target

Hello. I know, I asked this a couple of days ago, but I'm still kinda struggling with it. I would like to play Amplifying Poison as well as Serrated Bone Spike, but I don't know which points I can take out. I would like to keep the 4 Keystones I have selected as well. One point I thought I could take out was Master Assassin for Doomblade, which still leaves me with 1 point I need to get, but all these talents seem kind of necessary to me. Does someone have a suggestion?

rotund oak
#

ma is basicly irrelevant node

left radish
#

That's Master Assassin right? I can put that into Doomblade, but which point can I put into Serrated Bone Spike?

rotund oak
#

u trade the silence for dmg

left radish
#

Isn't Iron Wire really strong though? It also reduces the enemy's damage by 15%

rotund oak
#

ye it is cool

left radish
#

I guess there are no other talents I could take out, because they're too strong, right?

rotund oak
#

assuming u wanna keep amp poison u cannot skip LD

#

basicly u could coz u can go down from doomblade

#

but i would sim the tree

#

its already buffling to me coz u wanna keep the 4 capstones

#

personally im feeling very weird when im not specced into zoldyck

slim hamlet
left radish
#

I'm trying for M+ though, that's the problem

rotund oak
#

got any better ideas? 🙂

slim hamlet
#

idk

rotund oak
slim hamlet
#

Taking 1 or the other, can't have everything in a talent tree

rotund oak
#

ye thats the point

#

ild jsut sim personally,u cant have eveyrthing

#

u sacrifice stuff for dmg

#

but idk,DTB for m+

left radish
#

Yeah I thought maybe you guys would have an idea what is cuttable like Master Assassin or something like that

#

Still, thanks for the suggestions!

rotund oak
#

u r welcome fam

slim hamlet
#

I definitely think not taking iron wire is troll in keys

rotund oak
#

but DTB isnt? 😛

slim hamlet
#

idk how much DTB without amp even is

pure moth
#

Agreed

rotund oak
#

amp and dtb both are some ''st'' elegently

#

but i even doubt that makes any diff compared to zoldycks

#

and ap

#

thats the epitomy of trolling tbh

oblique jackal
#

You could remove 2nd SHiv

spice surge
left radish
spice surge
#

You dont have AP anyway so shiv is only really singletarget dps

slim hamlet
#

Spatter?

#

with kb

#

Or does that not work

#

Actually it doesn't right to not double dip with AP right?

spice surge
#

It does not indeed, unless theyve changed it recently

drifting cedar
#

so when using the m+ build from the pins, do we vanish last 3 secs of kingsbane?

spice surge
#

No

left radish
slim hamlet
#

They do

#

Shiv on the KB target just doesn't improve the spatter dmg

left radish
#

Oh, then I understood it incorrectly, mb

spice surge
#

It spatters the pre-shiv kb damage afaik

left radish
#

Where would you shiv then with only 1 shiv? At the beginning of Kingsbane or at the end? Or does it not matter?

spice surge
#

Should be at the end

left radish
#

Alright, thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out

oblique jackal
#

I really like the way sin is played out. Either you go full bleed or go full poison

slim hamlet
#

Or full ST + IC and Spatter PogO

oblique jackal
#

The best i've seen sin played in awhile

#

^

spice surge
#

I find it a bit weird that theres a talanet that makes poison do decent aoe, but none that makes bleeds do decent singletarget

slim hamlet
#

or one of the other 35 builds

spice surge
#

Since bleeds in general is aoe and poison singletarget focused

slim hamlet
#

DM?

#

Isn't that our whole CD

oblique jackal
#

I wish DM wasn't tied to a specific mob

slim hamlet
#

Also deathmarks funnel thingy I guess

#

idk how strong that 5% is tho

spice surge
oblique jackal
#

It should be appilied to all Mobs

slim hamlet
#

I mean

spice surge
#

I personally just prefer bleeds

slim hamlet
#

That would just mean they would have to giga nerf it

#

and it would suck in ST bosses

spice surge
#

And bleeds are weak

slim hamlet
#

I would rather keep it as a ST thing

#

I honestly don't think I have any problem with assa right now, I wish we still had dance but that's it

#

Oh and if we end up going VV and not using vanish that will be omega cringe

oblique jackal
#

or change how DM works

#

it's very outdated compared to other specs major CDs

slim hamlet
#

How?

#

It does aoe with spatter

#

I think it's just different than other specs

#

A lot of people wanna make assa like every other spec idk why

oblique jackal
#

Well, like Avenging Wrath

slim hamlet
#

Yea why would you want it to be another specs CD

oblique jackal
#

It's a personal buff that doesn't go away if said mob dies

slim hamlet
#

Yea that is like the one problem with DM and KB

#

Low key mobs just blow up

oblique jackal
#

Exactly

spice surge
#

If only we had an ability that made us do our damage anyway

oblique jackal
#

which obiviously a simple fix. DO higher keys lol

spice surge
#

That suddenly would kill enemies and not waste your damage

slim hamlet
#

Yea exactly

#

You lose the CDs going full but you get sudden demise pops in low keys

#

Which might be better

spice surge
#

Its not better obviously, but sudden demise makes it a lot less bad

slim hamlet
#

Also if you're doing low keys because that is like your ceiling, then having a prio mob just get deleted isn't even bad

DM definitely felt bad in m+ before spatter

#

Legit 0 aoe cooldown spec

#

Or well I guess IC was a cooldown

pure moth
# spice surge Should be at the end

If shivs at the end.. wouldn't you be missing a lot of damage with this type of build? Kb on trash is already weaker cuz it dies quick.
So shivs a waste until bosses.
Doesn't sound like an optimal build attempt

slim hamlet

You wouldn't wait to use shiv if mob dies before ofc

since i couldnt find it in the pins (maybe blind idk): do we vanish for garrote at the end of deathmark since we dont play MA for KB? (for raid only)

normal mist
#

Your first vanish it when your first garr is below 6 secs

#

Then you just delay DM a bit and sync vanish to DM forward

im really hating these hero talents in the sense that some of the utility / passive nodes from certain trees are so dope, but the rest of the tree around it is so ass that you cant play it

ay man idk if it doesnt work or something but seems like a great node

its not bugged

it just doenst do anything

like, the dmg is far from beeing a giant big thing you focus on

Its less bugged nowadays and actually does something

But yes, nothing you play around

Is vanish the only way to reapply death mark in a long fight with an intermission effect (where the mark isn’t fully consumed and you are unable to reapply with the capstone)?

For assassination, I mean.

Yep

i have something i need to get off my chest

#

so i was doing a dungeon last night

#

and my caustic spatter was bugged entire dungeon

#

was going off at all

#

i left dungeon reloaded

#

and it was fixed

#

this is like triggering as fuck rn

slim hamlet
#

on live?

hexed matrix
#

I really dpnt understand the deathmark tied to ambush thing. Why its not garrote, who knows. What about some sort of energy management way to trigger death mark app? Energy capped for 3 seconds and your next envenom applies? Feel free to tell me I'm stupid for a reason I'm not thinking about 🙂

errant trail
#

yeah on live

#

100%

#

i was doin halls

#

and i was like wtf my Caustic spatter WA wasnt even triggering

slim hamlet
#

And also definitely no one wants to be energy capped for 3 seconds

hexed matrix
#

Exactly why I was thinking of some energy related thing, that way it resets between pulls or on intermissions

slim hamlet
#

Personally I would rather it just be a seperate button

hexed matrix
#

Yeah... buttons 🤪

slim hamlet
slim hamlet
errant trail
#

well its happening in dungeons

and i can confirm it

and ill record a video if it happens again

The only reason it is on ambush is probably because people complain about buttons

errant trail
#

blizzard needs to fix their stupid game

hexed matrix
slim hamlet
#

Well there is no other reason

#

But I guess they don't always need reasons

I think whoever designed it doesn't play the class. The button thing is secondary ....

hey what else are you guys picking if you dont use Master Assass

I took imp poisons instead of MA

low keys as in where target doesn't survive DM+KB probably

#

Or where you don't need more ST dmg

errant trail
#

yeah this really is the issue

exotic hazel
#

Also the CT build is generally just easier to play

#

More forgiving for KB play

slim hamlet
#

Any no CT build sounds troll once TWW arrives tbh

#

It does so much dmg on beta

exotic hazel
#

Yeah I generally don't mind it anyways

#

I did have an idea a while back of IC making your next Rupture be an enhanced CT

#

Rather than it's own thing

errant trail
#

Ive noticed

#

in low keys

#

CT is a must no matter what

#

you just set it off and it does very good dmg

fleet pagoda
#

yeah ST is great in pushing .io but if you're a class that dunks on overall, send it for overall and let somebody else do the prio (mage starege )

errant trail
#

it lasts a long time tbh

exotic hazel
#

I can't put into words how happy I am that IC is now a passive, and that Sudden Demise is a thing

#

Considering the last time I played Assa properly was S1 of DF

#

Such a huge QoL change

errant trail
#

spec def has come along way

#

i was actually enjoying shadow dance alot

#

but its ok they just need to get rid of slice n dice

slim hamlet
#

Dance was definitely poggers

exotic hazel
#

I get all the reasons why Dance is good

#

I just personally don't like it for Assa 😂

#

Main reason being it's just another button to press that affects our rotation/cooldowns etc which I love as is

slate crown
# ashen scroll so is it intentional that i cant re-apply deathstalker stacks with ER'd envenoms...

To clarify, we do not know for sure if it is a bug. It may be intentional, it may be a bug. It seems like a bug but it could be read as intentional. It is not clear. I hope it's seen as a bug, but there's not a guarantee it will be adjusted from current behavior. I suspect that it will be fixed to work with consuming the marks (to progress it towards darkest night) but it cannot be used to proc Darkest Night envenoms. But, we have no confirmation on their intention (that I know of)

river flint
ashen scroll
#

ya i hope we can use ER to proc darkest night else the entire spec feels clunky tbh

ashen scroll
river flint
#

idk, rogue-math, works differently apparently

#

id be surprised if new rogue talents werent hammered to direction or the other every patch, itll be a mess at launch, but maybe some broken builds can be fun zerg in bgs

royal lantern
#

people dont realise how much RNG rogue is on all 3 specs in Dragonflight, its funny af

#

20%+ dmg variance kekw

river flint
#

yeee well thats tru

#

even outlaw is blamed for roll the bones bc "rng" but like with correct procs and crits its 3-4 times sustained damage even without bones

#

idk if ass is worse than ol or sub tho

#

the bleeds are pretty stable in comparison

royal lantern
#

mate

#

just no

#

first of all, RTB is fuckall in RNG overall

#

the normal procs have way more influence on outlaw then RTB ever did outside of legion

#

and assa/sub have gigantic swing simply because their dmg is rn all compressed into windows and that we have 20000 rng factors in the game that can make those windows even stronger

#

weapon enchant proc during Kingsbane? GG, you won

balmy condor

it should be around 10-11%

river flint
#

I mean ofc there are exceptions

ashen scroll
#

was 16% not 18% but still

nimble vector
#

1:07 is just very low sample size, if you have a big chain in the opener it will be very overrepresented compared to a 5 min fight

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

If you just flip endless heads it’s skew a 1 min super hard

ashen scroll
#

ya it wasnt a long pull, i was jsut messing with the dummy and feel out the hero talents

balmy condor
#

And then you won’t see tails at all

river flint
#

If this stays, fatebound could be a win in quick pulls and pvp, but the idea of building all the way to capstone is not as likely, besides, the capstone is kinda meg

#

Meh*

#

esp since it discourages other finishing moves

#

not being able to use slice n dice or etc bc of mean streak is situationally very annoying

grim jay
#

what are we cooking

#

I smell something

spice surge
#

Why would you not be able to use slice and dice

#

And why would you want to use slice and dice when you could just envenom

river flint
#

i mean you can use it but it encourages you to smash envenom for quickly smashing into higher stacks of heads

plush arch
#

if you don't wanna flip, just snd on 4cp xd

river flint
#

Im not saying its bad but just annoying

#

In long encounters especially

#

I still like fatebound more but im not sure how itll feel after playing it for long

spice surge
#

I have no idea what youre talking about

#

Theres nothing you play around with fatebound

#

Why would it be annoying

#

they are cooking high rolls on low timers

balmy condor

What’s that mean

I dunno, i havent played it in a boss or smth

rotund oak
river flint
#

Maybe im overthinking it but im gonna wait how it turns out

balmy condor
#

I don’t know what that means though

spice surge
#

Well we only have rupture and envenom

#

And CT for aoe

balmy condor
#

Getting more cp and hitting envenom is legit just the rotation

#

We generate and then spend

rotund oak
#

brother,fatebound is as consistent and steady a flow as a spec can get,u get extra cp,u dump them,its more dmg

#

there is no downside to that

#

literally

balmy condor
#

We already finish at 5 or more cp with or without fatebound

#

So there’s nothing restricting there either

#

I’m just confused what “flow of getting lucky” you’re seeing

#

its probably the good old "win-lose" mindset with the flips

and not the actual "win-win"

You get the agi from the capstone 20-30 seconds into the fight and then you’re winning

vernal hatch

if we have blindside, can you always use it at 5 instead of finishing

since i think it only gives 2

if it procs seal fate

normal mist
#

if you have 5 just slam a finisher

balmy condor
#

It gives 2 baseline, seal fate would be 3

#

So yeah, if you have 5 you finish

#

Spec also generally rewards more finishers, not higher quality finishers

#

So little incentive to go higher

# atomic spear hi, its good talents ?

Double vanish sucks, shadow heart sucks, master assassin sucks, you’re not taking crimson tempest, also not taking iron wire, and the build as a whole is insanely heavy single target so unless you’re doing +16’s or +17’s (which I assume you’re not), the tree isn’t gonna even do much

balmy condor

Exactly :3

I recommend the wowhead guide

atomic spear

Mythic+ Bleed
Mythic+ Hybrid
Mythic+ Cleave

who better ?

potent raven
#

it says there like just read?

errant trail
#

can i be honest with you @atomic spear

#

Cleave feels good in ST

#

bleed is good aoe mass AOE and fort

#

but this is my opinion

atomic spear
#

For doing Mythic+ and being versatile, which one should I choose?

normal mist
#

any of the 3

#

they have information about every single one of them

#

you can just read and decide which fits your better

potent raven
#

🤔

oblique jackal
#

Depends on a lot of factors which build is better. Do you want to focus more on ST/FOcus dmg bc others in your group can carry the aoe damage

#

You can always sim all three and see which is better numbers wise. Then see which one you feel plays better for you.

balmy condor
#

You’re not gonna get much out of a sim

unborn wharf
#

just to double check this is the opener for assassin with deathstalker on single target yeah?
(ambush got cut off in the log lol)

#

like basically identical but we ambush and move echoing to after snd?

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

But there should be a second shiv at the end

#

And I have my doubts that tea should be there

#

I mean macroing it is already incorrect by default

#

But just the timing itself

#

Probably ain’t it

unborn wharf
#

ah yeah my second shiv was a second off or so

#

dont we wanna tea the first shiv just to get the cooldown rolling?

#

or nah?

balmy condor
#

Yeh I guess

errant trail
#

apparently you only tea if you need energy in your shiv/kingbane window?

balmy condor
#

It’s not too big of a deal

errant trail
#

i mean i always just tea after 6sec of KB still

balmy condor
#

But you should try and get some energy from it

#

So holding it a couple seconds for that to mut a couple times

long island
#

can someone show me their dmg breakdown in details after a m+ run

balmy condor
errant trail
#

just play reg?

unborn wharf
#

so like after the double mut then tea

#

interesting

balmy condor
#

Like the tea should be during shiv

#

But the main thing is getting energy

#

Doesn’t have to be at the start

quiet flax
#

I have a question about the aoe rotation in m +. After applying bleeds and ruptures to multiple targets on the opener, and then executing a DM/KB burst on a single target with caustic splatter for aoe, then what do we do? Do we continue to rotate through targets (re)applying more garrotes and ruptures or tend to focus on a single target and rely upon envenom and caustic splatter for the aoe?

unborn wharf
balmy condor
#

Even after that first mut is fine

#

You’re just high on energy after casting er env dm shiv kb

#

Those all cost basically nothing

#

So just burn a bit and then tea

balmy condor
unborn wharf
#

ok cool gotcha. we do definitely want to get at least 1 tea out during the first cooldowns, just can be more optimal with it

hollow oasis
#

you said earlier that shiv now covers all of KB, how tho? im trying to find it on beta and it still says 8s vs 14s of KB, im missing something? really want to get back to rogue

balmy condor
#

2 charges

unborn wharf
#

16 seconds of shiv uptime

hollow oasis
#

ah still the same then, just a missunderstanding

#

thanks

unborn wharf
#

for the second shiv, does the tea duration matter for when you can use it?
Like if the shiv buff is 3 seconds remaining I wouldnt tea at that point for the 3 seconds of mastery buff that would be outside of shiv there

#

would you only tea the second shiv at most 2 seconds after using the second shiv

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

Correct

#

You also don’t want to overlap teas obviously

As in the gap between the hero talents

it's probably gonna be in that range
