Oh wait

#

we have double vanish on class tree now

#

Point is, go pick up double vanish

#

toss knife, then mash vanish

#

And use both vanish charges

#

that always worked for me

past forum
#

So we have to ambush for mark and then later mutilate for caustic on the first pull of a key (bit cringe using 2 st builders in aoe if you ask me but it is what it is). For later packs, where I’m guessing we’re applying mark with darkest night, do we want to do our bleeds + caustic setup first or is priority #1 using dn to get mark going?

shadow cloud
#

I gotta have a whole talent spec just for resetting the boss 😭 Man why does blizz hate rogue

past forum
#

Is it a medium-to-large gain to switch to mouseovers for bleeds so we can keep melee’ing the marked target, or not really worth it if you aren’t fully comfortable with it atm?

shadow cloud
balmy condor
#

if by medium to large gain you mean maybe 0.2% at most then I guess yeah

past forum
#

Yeah i assumed it was small, ty

prepatch is not doing me any good, i started with pvp dracthyr_blob_sweat

thorn fjord
#

It’s been fun

rotund oak
#

actually took steps towards improvement as content

Sin has the ability to be highly toxic

#

Hue hue hue

clever sapphire
#

well it had my interest till i realised that rated shuffle has no interesting mog, so now im just doing epic rbgs for honor to get the honor mogs

#

maybe tww gonna change that

rotund oak
#

u can get the elite mogs at 1.8k rating

#

if u have started a bit earlier u could have gotten them

#

ive got all elite mogs for rogue/mage and hpally

#

its not that hard i think its

#

rival 1 iirc

#

1.8,not that hard

clever sapphire
#

the elite mog is not in the sets tab tho

#

isnt that removed with prepatch?

rotund oak
#

yeah its seasonal reward

#

jsut keep in mind

#

i think they add it in vendors

#

u can get some from previous seasons with marks

clever sapphire
#

ye im prob just gonna "farm" honor and tokens

tawny pewter
#

Any useful macros that you guys can recommend?

#

I already use the one for Deathmark, trinket + pot, but maybe there are some tricks and tips i can use

@balmy condor How it felt reading the deathstlaker thread

river hawk
#

I read about one guy saying assa have so much rng (idk to much about beta) and sub is more consistent for progress, is that correct in some way or assa is the best rn

fresh kelp
#

Still enjoy undead as a race but kinda want a change for TWW, how’s zandalari?

You can edit what colours what in the Constructor

#

how many targets do we use tempest on?

hardy venture
#

I think the answer is yes, but you can Shadowmeld into Stealth to get Improved Garrote proc + Indiscriminate Carnage yeah?

@balmy condor

#

we getting nerfed aren’t we

#

beta we look juicy

normal mist
#

pinging for random stuff is so bad

mossy gust
#

do u guys have a wa to track clear the witness ?

errant trail
#

i just saw some sin rogue do big dmg in beta

#

no way we keep that

slate crown
#

And yes, I track it

#

We use our AoE builder in ST when we have it up, so it's worth seeing it

vestal wren
#

you can't melt into stealth on boss fights. Just to add this information piece to the conversation.

hardy venture
balmy condor

#

i haven't tested which bonus is active on beta during melt. They changed stealth recently.
Whispyr might know better

balmy condor
#

Doesn’t seem like it affected anything

vestal wren
#

👍 perfect

hardy venture
#

Sorry if there is a macro posted somewhere, but this is what I found searching the discord. Would this be best, or am I dumb and missing it on the WoWHead guide that some dude put together?

#showtooltip

iron valve
#

iirc it takes a moment for combat to drop, but you could try it out and see

hardy venture
#

Have to buy a race change to test 🙃 I am just cute Blood Elf atm because why wouldn't I be

vestal wren
#

you can literally just create a char on beta

#

if you have beta access

hardy venture
#

Oh...til thank youi

vestal wren
#

go on the max level realm, create a new char at the top and it gets set to max level

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

Problem with meld is that you get put into combat automatically pretty often

#

Which stops you from actually getting the stealth off

balmy condor
hardy venture
#

I read that putting that macro on mouse wheel can help avoid that

balmy condor
#

Beta is beta

vestal wren
#

^

balmy condor
hardy venture
balmy condor
#

F no beta

forest nacelle
#

my mousewheel is for defensives xD

iron valve
#

you also have to not be moving or meld will cancel

royal lantern
#

my mousewheel is for racial kekman

forest nacelle
#

wait, why not just use vvanish? wtf are we evening talking about?

balmy condor
#

Meld is so fucking jank man

vestal wren
# hardy venture

it looks like this, you get access to it when buying the epic edition for wow.
But i don't think its worth it, so not recommended.

lapis lantern
#

when I dont play with lightweight shiv, do i use shiv at the end of kingsbane?

balmy condor
#

Yes

errant trail
#

yea 8 seconds right?

violet berry
#

I can’t seem to find a good guide on assas

#

Any recommendations

hardy venture
vestal wren
#

oh, thats a good one

runic hinge
vestal wren
#

i totally forgot about them

hardy venture
#

Blizzard UI people...it was hidden under the stupid dragon lol

iron valve
#

the macro I have used in the past is simply
/cast [combat] !Shadowmeld; !Stealth
and tap it twice

balmy condor
hardy venture
#

I knew that Meld wouldn't count for those, which is why the cast stealth is in there I imagned

iron valve
#

yeah, but worth checking. I think in the past it's sometimes been weird, like you could ambush while melded

hardy venture
clever sapphire
#

of course it wont work during a boss fight

clever sapphire
#

the npcs dont do enough dmg to kill anything anyways

hardy venture
#

5head ❤️

clever sapphire
#

not sure if follower dungeon is a lvl 70 thing tho

hardy venture
#

This test a class toon is only 60 so it works

clever sapphire
#

ah aight

#

but ye the macro i sent works for me

hardy venture
#

Just worked for me too. I bound it to wheel up + down so I just do that over and over

#

Yeah it seems to work. 3/3 so far in dungeon

tall jay
#

Hmm with the changes abound do we still use thistle tea as needed or within the KB window?

normal mist
#

tea in shiv windows

tall jay
#

Or visa versa

#

Ok shiv and tea only?

normal mist
#

I'll still need to read the beta info whispyr wrote, in the beta threads, but afaik you tea during shiv windows when you get full value of the energy

tall jay
#

Need to read more as well I see, shiv window is… when? Whenever we use shiv I’m assuming (oh how I can’t wait for Whispyrs YouTube Guide, math is hard and reading is hard for me lol)

normal mist
#

We've been shiv'ing the same way since S3, for kingsbane

#

but now, instead of using tea for the last 6 seconds of kingsbane, we use tea for the energy while shiv is up

tall jay
#

Ah, so we just be moving the timing of tea then?

#

In poor man’s terms

royal lantern
#

basically, yeha

#

we use tea with shiv cus shiv = more envenom dmg = good

tall jay
#

Cool

novel thicket
#

Is is better to use vanish before Death Mark to get the Imp garrote or last three seconds of kingsbane if using Master Assassin?

tall atlas
#

are we op yet

novel thicket
clever sapphire
#

ah in m+ i barely ever use vanish with dm

#

i usually just hold it for moments where i feel like i want IC

#

or when i know the tank is gonna do a shitty chain pull

forest nacelle
#

i do that unless its on tyran weeks

#

then i use it for bosses

clever sapphire
#

i mean i dont even run MA dracthyr_kek

novel thicket
#

Im just using the wowhead talents

clever sapphire
novel thicket
#

I've wanted to hold vanish for IC but didnt know if it was right

#

Im on live atm

clever sapphire
#

ye doesnt matter imo

novel thicket
#

I was using the bleed build, but I'm gonna move over to hybrid

shy pecan
#

If you want to get garrotes out faster via IC and what not, yeah, use the vanish and then go into CDs. But otherwise, can just go the old fashioned way of getting ruptures and garrotes out

clever sapphire
#

i have been running the hybrid bonespike build since prepatch, almost had the build correct even thats in the thread

novel thicket
#

I was gonna go hybrid amp

#

how is bonespike

clever sapphire
#

the build i sent has spike and amp

#

also bonespike is just a feels good talent

#

it wont do insane dmg but its there for lethal dose and it just smoothens your IC spread and your out of IC spread

#

just a really good QoL talent imo

balmy condor
clever sapphire
#

i meant in details, thats what people look at mostly no?

novel thicket
# clever sapphire

I might actually try this MA feels crap. but I am new to the spec so I could be chatting shit lol

balmy condor
#

Sims would rather drop kingsbane and dtb before dropping bone spike

clever sapphire
#

ye i know about sims, i was more talking details department since thats what people will refer to when saying it doesnt do much

balmy condor
#

I guess

clever sapphire
#

will always be my argument

novel thicket
#

Is MA better sim wise though?

clever sapphire
#

seeing as the build i sent is from Whispyr aka THE smart guy, id say MA is worse

#

you can also just sim dracthyr_shrug

novel thicket
#

oh right is it on wowhead?

#

Im gonan try it

clever sapphire
#

here

#

ik its beta and whatnot

novel thicket
#

Im also guessing cause we're not using 2 charges of shiv, we hold shiv for last 5 seconds of kingsbane?

grim jay
#

dont you feel the crits SURGING

Is the hybrid build go to for current season M+ also?

#

Tried a 16 RLP and it sucks though

shy pecan
#

It’s pre-patch

clever sapphire
#

did you by any chance play with a fury warrior or a frost dk?

#

those 2 make your existence meaningless usually

forest nacelle
#

i kept up with a 498 FDK 😦

hexed frost
grim jay
forest nacelle
#

im 518

hexed frost
clever sapphire
#

its just how prepatch is currently

forest nacelle
#

FDK is BONKERS

balmy condor
#

Prepatch keys ICANT

#

Next level mental illness

clever sapphire
#

my rule of thumb is that i dont play with a fdk or fury if i go in for fun and not fure rio

hexed frost
clever sapphire
#

and who cares about prepatch rio

clever sapphire
grim jay
hexed frost
#

Is it because frost dk and fury just melt trash instantly?

forest nacelle
clever sapphire
forest nacelle
#

to me

#

but i won on boss fights....

clever sapphire
#

a frost dk was doubling my dmg on rlp 2nd boss without any effort

#

and i dont think im that bad of an assa for that to happen dracthyr_shrug

clever sapphire
#

prepatch moment

forest nacelle
#

yea

clever sapphire
#

i was doing 400k, frost was doing 800k

#

and it was a 15 rlp i think

#

so not a +2

Doing keys without arterial and zoldyk feels so cringe ngl

I think these are easier to read than text

#

so I appreciate you putting them together

strange python
#

Looks good whispyr

balmy condor
#

opener changes too damn much

#

is the problem

#

that aoe opener at the bottom isn't even really "the best", it overcaps a cp or two if you're skipping snd

#

but what can you do

balmy condor
#

I'm not gonna put up 35 different openers for 35 different builds

grim jay
faint vessel
#

those are helpful and im already saving them

balmy condor
#

gotta cut a corner somewhere

balmy condor
#

there's a couple mistakes I gotta fix

faint vessel
#

well fine then

cedar elk
#

are they all AOE? Sorry im debating play assa and still reading dankNoted

limber lion
#

Look good

clever sapphire
balmy condor
#

first two are single target

shy pecan
# balmy condor

I like this one more than the second one. Not sure why the purple seems easier on the eyes than the orange

balmy condor
#

you can tell cause they're spamming mut

forest nacelle
#

wouldn't it be easier to just compile the DPS of the openers and pick the median?

runic hinge
forest nacelle
#

to pick the opener

balmy condor
cedar elk
#

Thats what I figured. Can you put descriptions on them when youre done? feelsloveman

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

we'll see how far I get tonight

shy pecan
#

Was gonna say, could you just label them and keep them all the same color? 😛

forest nacelle
balmy condor
#

I would have to code in the openers by hand

forest nacelle
#

oh gross

limber lion
#

It just doesn't work

forest nacelle
#

now i understand

limber lion
#

The opener can vary a billion different ways with slight talent changes and whether you want to speed up the rotation or not

hearty reef
limber lion
#

Just not possible

limber lion
balmy condor
#

aight ed give me a second

shy pecan
#

I’m just one opinion. If it makes it easier on ID’ing hero openers, then best stick with it

shy pecan
#

(Especially if you TC’s are coordinating on colors for the hero talents across all the FAQs/guides)

shy pecan
balmy condor
#

so

#

you'll be seeing that orange

#

all expac

shy pecan
#

Yeah the one border looks good

#

IMO

lost pulsar
#

Is it worth getting 7 CP? All finisher tooltips cap out at 6.

balmy condor
#

I can work with that

balmy condor
forest nacelle
#

or attempt to

balmy condor
#

unless youre deathstalker ofc

grand trail
#

what about that egg trinket

balmy condor
#

what about it

forest nacelle
#

i almost always hit 6+

#

xD

grand trail
#

im missing somethging or its not "use" effect on beta

lost pulsar
#

So there’s a point in getting 7 is what I’m understanding.

balmy condor
#

you are missing something indeed then

#

cause it's very clearly a use

shy pecan
balmy condor
hexed frost
#

Does deathstalker mark goes away on 3rd boss Necrotic Wake if one doesn't one phase him?

balmy condor
#

yes

hexed frost
#

Gg wp

#

Okay, thanks for the info.

shy pecan
grand trail
#

whats on use ont his one

faint vessel
#

thats a different egg I believe

shy crow
forest nacelle
grand trail
#

there is another egg

#

i see it now 😄

limber lion
#

Yeah maybe too many egg trinkets in the pot

grand trail
#

yeah there are two same graphic different egg colour 😄

royal lantern
limber lion
#

But if something doesn't say "Use:" it's not an active

shy pecan
#

Yeah, version 2 imo @balmy condor blobthumbsup

limber lion
#

Yupyup

grand trail
#

man im reading the opther egg and i dont even understant what does it do

royal lantern
#

troll trinket

limber lion
#

You don't move, you gain stacks up to 30

haughty flicker
#

gigachad trinket

limber lion
#

You press trinket to freeze those stacks

balmy condor
#

moving gives stat, stacking
not moving gives stat, stacking

use to lock in your stats

haughty flicker
#

"sorry couldnt move out of swirly, trinket was ramping"

grand trail
#

ohh smart

balmy condor
#

it's not an awful trinket to be fair

grand trail
#

god help america

royal lantern
# balmy condor

you should put a "get maximum CP" for the envenom that re-applies the mark imo

royal lantern
grand trail
#

does the locking even matter 😄

#

you always have 30stacks just of different thing

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

but get this right

#

huge IQ required

#

maybe 128 agility might be better that 131 secondary

#

idk

#

just a thought

past forum
#

only rick and morty fans will be able to properly use that trinket

grand trail
#

i mean depends sometimes those stats get close

slim hamlet
# balmy condor

They're nice but am I missing something or should you not use CT after the 2x garrote and then ER after, if not talented into SBS?
Maybe it's better to make 2 different opener showcases with and without SBS if not too much work?

#

Or is it because no shrouded or something?

balmy condor
#

small overcap it's whatever

slim hamlet
#

Aight

limber lion
#

Kinda depends on target count as well

#

Like on 4t probs wanna er, on 8t wanna double garry

balmy condor
#

if I had to make separate openers for each target count and sbs and not sbs and er and not er

#

we'd have legit 25 openers

#

gonna fucking kill myself

limber lion
#

Yeh

grand trail
royal lantern
slim hamlet
#

Is it actually worth to garrote twice on 4 targets? Guessing it for sure is 5+ right?

tall atlas
#

not kept up wit hanything at all bous

balmy condor
tall atlas
#

how we looking in the new game

grand trail
#

pretty pog we are lookin

tall atlas
slim hamlet
#

I am an enjoyer

tall atlas
#

is this pre raid tho

grand trail
#

yeah its not bad

slim hamlet
#

Unless we go no vanish build

limber lion
#

What is a no vanish build

balmy condor
#

vicious drops imp poison and sanguine, shrouded and imp gar is safe

slim hamlet
#

VV instead of shrouded and imp garrote, but it seems we don't

#

Yea

#

Poggies

balmy condor
#

you can drop sang and imp gar

#

it's like 0.3% worse

limber lion
#

Drop them for worse rotation and feel

#

And worse dps

slim hamlet
#

How much less burst is the VV build, guessing it's quite a bit less with no sanguine for DM and imp poison for KB+DM?

balmy condor
#

I mean worse feel is pretty subjective

#

I don't want to fucking play imp gar

limber lion
#

You don't?

balmy condor
#

fuck no lmao

slim hamlet
#

Why

limber lion
#

That's interesting

#

Or are we back to talking in single target only

balmy condor
#

cause fuck imp gar broseph I don't want to live in a world where my deathstalker mark drops on a raid fight and I have 1:45 left on my vanish cd

grim jay
#

broseph

limber lion
#

Because Aurhora was talking about 5 targets earlier

#

Not ST

slim hamlet
#

I mean

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

That is deathstalker issue more than imp garrote but I see

limber lion
#

Yeah exactly

#

Sounds pretty weird to me dropping Improved Garrote in AoE lol

#

But yeah single sure

grim jay
#

complaining about brudi and saying broseph

slim hamlet
#

VV in aoe would be wild

balmy condor
#

it spatters technically

haughty flicker
#

no imp gar in raid might kind of be a vibe

slim hamlet
#

Getting closer to spreading doomblade aoe by the day

haughty flicker
#

i'd have to try it

slim hamlet
#

Can't wait for it to be realized in 12.0

balmy condor
#

no imp gar in raid is based

limber lion
#

Imp Gar > VV

slim hamlet
#

^

balmy condor
#

you know how much garrote damage you lose dropping imp gar in single target

slim hamlet
#

Deathstalker the issue not imp garr stop hating on my boy

grim jay
#

0.4

slim hamlet
#

Maybe not much in overall but it's the burst and we know how important that can be w

balmy condor
#

1.2% from base gar, 0.7% from deathmark

grim jay
slim hamlet
#

How much less burst

limber lion
#

Very good

slim hamlet
#

Or in CDs

grim jay
balmy condor
#

like 10%?

#

idfk man

grim jay
#

we dont talk about that

slim hamlet
#

More than expected

grim jay
#

in the imp garr hater camp

slim hamlet
#

aint doing that

#

But I also haven't looked at a single fight for mythic yet so idk how much burst matters

cerulean nest
#

is one of the hero trees “burstier” than the other?

balmy condor
#

3% in 40 seconds

slim hamlet
#

deathstalker right?

balmy condor
#

you don't run vicious on fatebound

limber lion
#

Stupid Deathstalker buffing generators

slim hamlet
#

but 3% aint that much I guess

balmy condor
#

oh no fatebound in single target is burstier on average

cerulean nest
#

that’s what I was wondering

slim hamlet
#

Oh really

#

Just the dmg boost?

cerulean nest
#

like significantly?

balmy condor
#

but that's like a 5% diff

cerulean nest
#

ah

limber lion
#

Neither of them are really bursty

slim hamlet
#

I expected deathstalker with Lingering and Corrupt for KB and DM

limber lion
#

Fatebound passive shit all day long

#

Deathstalker buffs autoattacks and generators

balmy condor
#

is this not bursty

errant trail
#

seems good to me

cerulean nest
#

that fate bound?

errant trail
#

lol

#

yeah

#

crank

balmy condor
#

thats deathstalker

errant trail
#

o

limber lion
#

Noobs

errant trail
cerulean nest
#

let’s see fatebound

limber lion
#

Thinking it's FB because Whispyr said it's the burstier option

slim hamlet
#

Tell them Mr. Poe

limber lion
#

cerulean nest
balmy condor
#

here, I'll let you guess another one

slim hamlet
#

Trickster

cerulean nest

#

Yea

but I thought it was a double juke

#

Like "oh dont look at the name lol and also xd"

limber lion
#

Base Assassination without a hero talent tree

No capstone build with no hero talent

How is PI worse now? Is it just the fact that you get max KB stacks earlier?

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

you're not getting damage from kb and bleeds

#

it's envenom

slim hamlet
#

How the fuck is envenom making us spike

#

Just more energy to spam?

balmy condor
#

but our PI value didn't even change that much I'm gonna be honest

#

like it's basically equal

slim hamlet
limber lion
#

Previously, without lust, you couldn't reach max stacks unless you got PI iirc

balmy condor
#

there's just specs that do it better

limber lion
#

Now you just hit the cap everytime regardless

#

Lust obviously makes you hit it as well everytime

#

By just going afk

balmy condor
#

like we're a 5% pi spec but windwalker is 9% or something

#

so

slim hamlet
#

WINDWALKER?

limber lion
#

Yeh they enjoying

haughty flicker
#

ww scales pretty hard with haste now

subtle tundra
#

like outlaw!

slim hamlet
#

I remember the good old times (of like 1 month ago) when they hated haste

limber lion
#

Sounds like us in Legion

slim hamlet
#

Alright unc

#

That is like 8 years ago

limber lion
#

And all of a sudden we're THE PI SPEC

#

and EVERYONE needs MORE and MORE haste on Assa

slim hamlet
#

Imagine if KB scaled directly with haste too

#

holy

limber lion
#

Imagine if the tick rate scaled with haste and it didn't have partial ticks

#

So we would have to get to different haste breakpoints

subtle tundra
#

i mean, it kinda sucks to be a haste liking spec cause then you dont really get vers

limber lion
#

to get an extra tick of KB out

slim hamlet
#

holy fuck

#

I am logging in

#

When will you make that change Cev?

limber lion
#

I'd give it a few moments

slim hamlet
#

But like make sure that every single point of haste will be 100% useless besides the 1 that pushes you over the edge of getting another tick

limber lion
#

Yeh absolutely

slim hamlet
#

Thank god

balmy condor
limber lion
#

Anything between 30-69% haste is useless

#

But once you hit that 69.1%

#

oh boy it's go time

slim hamlet
#

holy

#

I can't wait

subtle tundra
limber lion
#

Then you get an extra tick with lust + pi + haste enchant proc

slim hamlet
#

And that extra tick will even be in this

limber lion
#

and only if the haste enchant procs

slim hamlet
#

holy fuck we gaming

limber lion
#

let's go

limber lion
#

Either PI is 30% for us or 4%

slim hamlet
#

PI, lust, haste proc

limber lion
#

depending on whether you proc that enchant or not

slim hamlet
#

and we cooking

slim hamlet
#

this is actually demonic

#

Either you lose 6% dmg my giving us PI or you gain 20%

#

Gonna be sick

limber lion
#

We love the gamba

slim hamlet
#

You lust in execute for your 4 assa rogues to MAYBE get lucky

haughty flicker
#

i dont think you're allowed to leak the fatebound rework like this

slim hamlet
#

If not all of them hit it you wipe

subtle tundra
#

you guys should become designers

slim hamlet
#

I thought Cev was working on it?

limber lion
#

Yeh just give it a few days

slim hamlet
#

You know maybe I will buy beta then

limber lion
#

Maybe the beta to 15.0

#

But not 11.0

slim hamlet
#

brb going in cryofreeze till then

what if we held cd's in execute to wait for a haste proc? HOLY

You have to be hitting your main target directly to get the most out of caustic spatter right? How bad is the damage drop off if you swap targets?

junior aurora
#

well you wont really get any benefit from it if you swap targets

#

itd be pretty severe

#

assuming you arent just reapplying spatter to the new target at least

mossy glen
#

is trinket ring actually better than MH first? or is this just assuming I have decent MH

royal lantern

its assuming you have a decent MH

#

cus like, you had 2 raids that dropped a dagger on the first 2 bosses

(and that all doesnt matter anymore anyway)

Could always sim, but you should be able to get like eight items with bullions now

yea was just curious cuz i only have 2 rn, just trying out several alts

i do have other weapons but for outlaw lol

but how do outlaw weapons help on a rogue

#

What does this sheet tell you

#

Because it doesnt tell you whats going to do the most dps in the raid or dungeon

hidden dust
#

it tells me the ceiling for ST dps based on sims

cerulean walrus
#

OuTlAw MoRe DaMaGe

spice surge
#

It doesnt tell you the ceiling for ST dps

#

Thats not what sims are

hidden dust
#

then what is this telling me?

spice surge
#

Sims are telling you the median

#

Of all the iteration its doing

#

So if you assume that all the sims are correct and optimal (not true), and you assume the fights are 5 minute patchwerk fights with no mechanics (not true)

#

Then yes, this sheet would tell you what spec would on average be the best

balmy condor
#

Izen classic

hidden dust
#

if its the median, and the iterations are consistent wouldnt that make it more impactful as what will be competitive dps

balmy condor
#

Bro does this every beta but it’s always wrong and he’s banned from like half the discords already

cerulean walrus
balmy condor
#

The “latest sim” thing is basically just trying to discord search for anyone linking anything

#

The whole thing is so unscientific lmaooo

hidden dust

id love to compare them

Don’t banned the poor guy he seems umm harmless enough lol

balmy condor
runic hinge

same, but the hat man

balmy condor

lol

balmy condor

It’s some next level brainrot to be comparing beta sims

#

And yet every cycle like clockwork some idiot does it

tall jay
#

But but but they are done being balanced!!!! lol 😂

balmy condor
#

Thinking they’re some big information broker

spice surge
#

bro some of those sims he linked arent even sims its just fucking screenshots of raidbots KEK

#

Thats so cooked its unreal

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

I mean he’s got literally zero goodwill with the TC community

#

He literally just scrapes class discords in hopes it got linked somewhere

#

I can assure you no one gave him a sim lmao

cunning cloak
#

what does go into "what spec is best" on fights, i know sims aren't good, but what actually makes you say at start of a tier, oh i'm gonna play this spec or that spec?

balmy condor
#

Raid testing gives a pretty good idea typically

#

Like oh boss flies away a bunch or disappears

#

Sounds awful for deathstalkers mark

#

Maybe not

#

Or smolderon like oh that’s a burst intermission, burst spec time to go sub

#

You find what the pain points of the fights are

#

And then you can map a spec onto it

cunning cloak
#

oh so just actually playing the game lol

spice surge
#

ye

balmy condor
#

Yeah

spice surge
#

Sims are usually used to guide how a spec plays, and then comparisons between specs are done ingame/in logs rather than in the sims themselves

#

Making sims replicate the game 100% accurately is impossible and effectively never happens, even though we try real hard

cunning cloak
#

yeah, i wanna say that ele sims usually pretty good but aren't usually top

spice surge
#

Theres always some bug or interaction somewhere that gets lost that could affect things

#

Also some classes have or have had sims that do things that humans cant really do ingame reliably (pixel perfect dashing as DH without losing any melee hits as an example)

#

And some sims have way more people working on them than others which is prone for quality inequality

#

TLDR: Dont compare sims between classes Surebud

cunning cloak
#

yeah, i try to play what i enjoy but the damn fotm bug gets me all the time

hardy rapids

caustic spatter + kingsbane is so satisfying

hoary remnant
winged kite

new to as rogue-used a guide online are these alright for gearing /m+

hardy rapids

move doom blade and serrated to thrown precision and crimson tempest

runic hinge
hoary remnant
# winged kite

If your new to rogue play what talents you find interessting and actually reading the tooltip and not just blindly copy pasting a talent string. Have fun with talents you find interessting and then later check whats best. Thats atleast what I do when I learn a new class. But you should play CT (Crimson tempest) in AOE always. Also for M+ and any aoe always caustic splatter (blade flurry).

hardy rapids
#

yeah that talent tree could use a lot of changes for m+ actually

#

look at the wowhead m+ builds

winged kite
runic hinge

No ic means that's single target

class talents are fine just maybe try something else for the spec talents

i was curious so im comparing his sims for 10.2 and actual

hoary remnant
#

Kinda troll 10.2 you played sin first 3 weeks of prog since it was broken

#

So the stats are not really comparable

hidden dust
#

outlaw definitely an outlier but other 2 specs look consistent to his sims

hoary remnant
#

Outlaw had 3 ok bosses. 1,2 and Larodar

#

That scews results.

runic hinge
#

comparing 5 minute patchwerks to actual raid fights is not good data

hidden dust
#

then what is a better comparison that is actually available?

hoary remnant
#

If you have a damage amp sub with on demand burst is always if tuned half decently the best rogue spec.

#

Sub rogue also loses 0 st when playing aoe. Since you can play st talents.

#

Sin has really good execute. So if the fight has a long execute phase play sin.

runic hinge
#

look at each fight individually, note classes actual strengths and realise why they might be good on that fight

hoary remnant
hidden dust
#

why not just fetch the data from the closest patchwerk fight in that raid and compare?

hoary remnant
#

or not any fight tbf. You will have some downtime.

runic hinge
#

why is patchwerk so important to you? Sin's patchwerk sims in amidrasil were bottom 5 and yet it was a top 3 spec and then got nerfed.

#

damage profile and add timings and burst phases and execute can mean a lot more than just dps in a straight line

final star
#

Simply realising parchwerk sims aren't too relevant will help you improve

runic hinge
#

simply playing what you enjoy and practicing it will more than likely make you better than just playing whatever sims best every season

hidden dust
#

it has nothing to do with my desire to play any class or spec

#

and the sims are getting a lot of hate but i just want to know how accurate they can be im new to the game

final star
#

Use them as a gearing and rotational aid

#

Not as the number you will output

hidden dust
#

ofc anyone new to the game or looking to get better shouldnt use any of this verbatim, and that goes for guides or builds on mythicstats and murlok

plater for me too. i just add debuff list to only garrote/rupture and rogue stuff and ignore others

amber cobalt

i think by having whitelist only and adding garrote/rupture/crimson tempest etc

#

id have to check in wow

whitelist is opposite of blacklist so any spell added in whitelist on whitelist only will only show

#

wait no i cant see but there is some way

minor finch

Other random question. Is rogue broken in pre patch. On raider
Io there like the lowest class

ripe carbon

u put plater into 'manual' in buff tracking part and then add debuffs/buffs u want to track

i see, ty for that

i havent played m+ assass in a while so i dont really do it anymore but thats how i used to track

yea platers way better

u can change icons too to be a bit bigger and stuff but thats harder to explain and i dont remember it

i think its in 'buff settings'

hmm doesnt seem to work for me :/

#

using the manual thing

ripe carbon

in manual adding buff/debuff?

yea, idk if im doing something wrong though

ripe carbon

mine has it in both buff/debuff

Ok sick that worked ty!

#

or maybe I jsut had to reload xD

mines not working but i think its cause my plater isnt updated

another question sorry, when do i use ambush and mutilate in aoe?

mm i dunno, i think +3 u fan of knives?

check faq

icyveins says on 3+ targets

#

i mean icyviens

prisma iris

correct me if im wrong but you want to ambush as your opener if you go deathstalker and then mutilate as your builder til everyone has it while rupturing

#

then when the stealth window closes or everyone has mutilate you can fan

im not sure if bug or intented interraction but. when getting both coins after deathmark with edge case passive, neither double jeopardy or inevitability give "guaranteed" coins, as if game doesnt know which one was "last flip".

Double jeopardy never gives guaranteed matched to the last flip for what it’s worth

It only matches to itself

But yes, thats why we don’t cold blood before deathmark
