When I did mythic+, I was getting restealths almost every single pack even with the tank chainpulling
besides, meld is good for other stuff than restealths
Most tanks chainpull when the pack is low, not when the pack is at half hp
ye, theres different types of chainpulls, and you either chain with all the castermobs dead to get the next pack already, or when shits about to die and then you just wait behind
and get the restealth by not engaging with the next pack already
Hello? Vulpera?
unless its one of those dumb mobs that puts people into global combat. love those.
Yeh
Canceling mechanics
Because cant vanish anymore for thst
Because vanish dps cd
there are some bosses where youd definitely not vanish for DPS
becuase it was a grp DPS loss to not have vanish when you got targeted by smth you could vanish off
rezan fixate for example
especially cause oyu could bait it on yourself
but, once again, depends on grp
if you play with aug and are basically just 2 DPS, its a bit different
ye, assa can skip out on using vanish as a DPS CD the most
Ye
but outlaw has 2 charges so they dont really run into this issue
Well now yeah
you just use one, and then hold the other in case you get targeted, cause then you use it for both DPS and to deny a boss mechanic
since outlaw doesnt relaly care about syncing it with CDs, we very much do unfortunately
but its a bit worse now for outlaw as well cause you only vanish during AR
Vanish has never been as tiny of a dps cd for Assassination as it is now
ye
In pure raid ST setups, it's not even a dps gain whatsoever
It's only for builds that play Improved Garrote
Is using mouseover for garrotes and ruptures good idea or should we switch between targets for venomous wounds? or it doesnt matter
sure but you also had other classes who could do it
I dont get why Most Thing dont work anymore with feign death
and the vanish for assa actually lined up well on fenryr
to use it as both DPS and survivability
almost every class had something to avoid getting jumped by fenryr anyway
🦊
most classes could just outrun the jump
Oh really?
anyone have stand alone weak auras for Rupture, Clear the witnesses and death mark?
You can just take a pack and copy them out
yeah?
i know very little about them, always find just what i need

And rightclick the singular WA you want, export, copy the text and import it
ye, fenryr jump was location based. the moment he started the jump, the location was locked, you could just move away after. i.e. as rogue youd bait the jump and shadowstep, etc.
same with the small wolves
ok thanks
Np, will help you a lot in the future. Many things are just inside of packs nowadays
the LE Collection link is a set of standalone auras that are particular ones in my pack that I felt warrented their own export link to be standalones. Most basic ones that are standard without fancy considerations I did not make standalone, but you may find helpful standalone parts inside of the Collection link.
Is there a plater color profile out yet that works for current dungeons? (Just a color profile)?

quazii
I have a macro and double clicking it gives me stealth in 99% times, excluding boss fights of course
Ye same, but it works about 9,99% of the time
Which kinda blows
thanks!
It’s too inconsistent for me

Going back to 5% haste in this green 561 gear feels great!
I don’t notice a difference!!
@slate crown is there a way to display SHT as a bar with your pack?
Shadow techniques?
ye
It used to be a bar but with trickster sub is very bar heavy and it started to look silly to me so I moved to an icon instead
I don't have a config option for it but it would be pretty straightforward to convert
If you want a bar instead, you could duplicate one of my other bars (like envenom) to keep the styling
Then change the buff to sht
then on the display page change progress source to Stacks
and update the maximum to your max combo points
You can modify that max value in conditions, if you want to be fancy about it and adjust it based on your talents/combo points
What up virgins
but I think14 is just always going to be the value nowadays, everyone takes both max cp talents
Deciding between my Ass Rogue, my Unholy DK, or my Fire mage for this expac
How do we like Deathstalker so far?
Is this a custom options thing you made or new with WA?
@slate crown thank you ❤️
What was the command again for those aoe/st opener rotation visuals?
New with WA
Well
New as of several releases ago
it hasn't always been there but it's been in for a bit
Ahh that’s nice
yeah you used to have to do it manually
there was a snippet of code to insert into the %c in the WA discord
Yeah remember that with the custom code
enough people did it that they made it into an actual setting, so that's good
Saves a lot of headache
@balmy condor my current CP WA only goes to six. how much dps do i lose for not speccing DS so i dont have to change my WA?
Bar or weakaura for each CP?
Cursed
seli is smart, he doesnt update stuff yet because he knows that 8CP is comming in 12.0
(ER ofc still does a 7CP finisher)
hi where can i find the list of comands?

good question
itd take me like 3 minutes to make a new WA for CP so before i do that, i wanna make sure its worth it 
Just make one that dynamically uses your max power and never make a new one again
(and spend hours making it
)

Is there anything in specific you need to know?
we ignore ER when when have the darkest night buff up?
!dn
Do I need to always be in stealth to apply a Deathstalker Mark?
- Only the initial application. Darkest Night reapplies and will be the majority of your applications
Echoing Reprimand.... - Yes, Echoing Reprimand doesn't interact with the Mark / Darkest Night, this is one of the biggest bugs still plaguing Deathstalker as a whole
- Until it is fixed, you would want to run 2/2 Lethality and still put 1 point into Echoing Reprimand
But the 3rd cp or something? - Correct, there has been a newly found... bug? interaction? With the Mark and Echoing Reprimand. It requires you to have your 3rd combo point be animacharged, the Mark be applied from Darkest Night, and then consuming the animacharge with Envenom. Should all those conditions be met, it will consume a stack of the Mark as intended.
Does Blizzard know? - There is no way they don't know. This has been mass reported, screamed from the rooftops, highlighted in every wowhead article, youtube video, forum post and stream since Deathstalker was revealed in alpha. The only thing we can do is keep reporting the bug through the in-game report, making noise on forums, and waiting.
tyty
I just like typing dn 
LOL
is there even the slightest chance that the bug was intentional?
and therefore not a bug
/doubt
since its been a thing since alpha
it just seems like a pretty easy hotfix
to go this long without fixing it
makes me worry

Can we mouseover rup/gar or do we switch targets for venomous wounds or it doesnt matter at all?
ER with abilities have had issues before alpha. Like back in SL as well
personally i mouseover rup/garr
exactly which it worries me that it wont be fixed lol
Hard to say its an easy fix when you have no idea how the code is setup
Dont targets have to be poisoned for venomous wounds? Im new to sin so it might be stupid question lol
you're spaming FoK either way
so targets will be poisoned most likely
Ah i assumed i was missing something, that was it. Thanks
ye i like to stick on the one target when entering a pack, then mouseover others
gets confusing otherwise lol
true, i can't call it easy, which is also a worry
what if its a moderate to difficult fix

deathstalker will feel so much better its insane, i hope its fixed by season 1

Qq so the buff the to env that comes up after the DS marks are used
Does it not go away if the mob dies and I just ambush the next mob?
Like will a new mark be put on the second mob
Or do I gotta wait for the env buff to drop or obv just cast full cp Env
works fine for me 😮
healthbar turns purple for marks atleast
Have you updated your profile?
it stays
Working as intended?
idk
Or bug
im not even sure if its a good thing it stays
It doesn’t feel like it
since it means youll be reapplying a 3stack mark with the envenom
instead of lowering stacks from the one you applied with ambush
but idk
Yeah I’d rather it drop if we decide to ambush a new target
In open world and dungeons it kinda feels like it’s not working as intended but 🤷♂️
Idk why you would want to do that instead of just using the capstone 
looks sick whats the leather one like?
you don't want to know
Weird interaction in certain situations
our tier looks pre sick though
yeah helm is out of place lol
googles+bandana is the only headpice from tww we need
and we can have it allready

is bubbling wax any good or am i wasting my time pickpocketting it?
What professions do you reccomend for min maxing or not relevant ?
not relevant
What do you mean? You only do it one way
if you're a m+ andy / raider, alchemy is always good for the 2h flasks
And there isnt really any interaction
I guess you could try a DN cancel macro for ambush if you really wanna do it weird
I kinda fuck with this
Read the capstone
Just think it’s weird that it wouldnt work both ways.. like if I have no cp opening on another mob to then have to force a full cp Env feels weird
yes mb I just understood
i mean, the capstone re-applies it
but yeha, we somewhat hope for changes, cus it feels really clunky rn
but you must be carefull to mark the right target ok
Ye, altho I especially dig the red color which awkwardly comes from pvp
Like, who wants to pvp
not really, you just dont WANT to kill the target with envenom with your capstone
Idk why that would feel more weird than wasting a global you could deal dmg with on ambush
i like the purple one personally 😄
You mark your big chunky target that you will focus anyways bcs thats how sin works tho
And you can always change target with the capstone
Ah ok I understand, you next envenom put the new mark, I though you use the last mark and in same time it put the new one. SO you can change target easily ok
Yasss
again
be careful
because it seems that if you KILL the target your going to apply with that 7CP envenom the new mark
you lose the mark and the buff
It’s stupid
they will probably fix this it's all good
Doubt they will
I see them changing it
Because thats what happens if you consume the buff to deal increased damage and the mark gets applied afterwards
The application isnt what consumes the buff
Else you could just snipe low HP big envenoms
If they fix the ER interaction it wouldn’t be as annoying tbh
But I suppose it’s trivial
Like how much open world content will we be doing in two months
half?

3rd point
1cp in 3 possible CP's isn't half fix xD
It is because its the baseline Cp
The other cps are the talent

So id say 1 out of 2 talents are working

if you ER without the 2nd talent
your charged CP can still be 3, 4 or 5 right?
if thats the case, then you have 1 in 3 chances to get the right CP to make DN work
That is how ER has worked in the past, yes
Or rather in Shadowlands it was 2-4 combo points
But it was changed in Dragonflight to be 3-5 for some reason
If it works on either of the base ER CPs it would be kinda funny
The nerf 😔
Even without the other talent?
Resounding Clarity is the talent
only without the other talent
so is it worth taking res clarity or 2x lethality?
Ok so 1/3rd if er is fixed
So if we don’t take clarity our 3rd cp will interact?
Some people liked the change, I personally did not so much
I liked doing ER - Finisher at 0 cp
Now it's not possible anymore
With it currently bugged, you take 2x Lethality
It came with the gaggle of nerf that made us essentially end up playing sub lol
2x leth
kk thanks

FK
So wait clarify please one more time lol

This clarifies it
How do I find the link to the bug list
Fucking weird
There is no link
Pins
The screenshot in the pin is updated
It’s a picture
Ok thanks
Too slow 😛
I was first...
bruh, why the fuck would you enchant shit now lol
You’re always #1 in my book
i mean, if there is a cheap enchant option
why not?
Says the guy who was literally asking about enchants like a day or two ago
Gottemmm
yeha, cus im a enchanter
lol
was about "what would be profitable to go in"
the go to enchant is authority of the depths
all this yappin and no answers
Yeh should be happy people are buying your enchants
Unlucky
you cant get the good ones yet
and the enchants you can make rn sell for 200gold with 600gold material cost

the gold sink right now to level jewelcrafting beyond 50 is about 30k per point
i got my 2hr flask stuff so im happy 😄
Ain’t 2hr baseline now?
it used to be 30 min baseline, now its 1 hour
jc is just insane
like, the amount of gems you need to crush is just ??????????
yea its nuts
im specializing in gemcutting cuz i know everyone needs gems
hoping to make a profit lol, but for now im staying at 50

1-50 leveling wasn't too terrible
one of the gem recipes that is good to level with comes from dungeons
i think starting tomorrow
i think the launch day would've been rough if everyone had access
there were some lagspikes even without the plebs
Yeah I was like hour into leveling and had no completion for quests mobs
what poisons are we using ? i cannot seem to find this anywhere in the wowhead guide
Deadly/Amp
Damn
You talking about the blasphemies with crit?
Yeah they drop from dungeons already they are on the ah
oh nice ok ill farm some today
Profit deez
It was 600k for the recipe on Friday it’s down to 100k on illidan
Dont think you can really make gold with professions rn, rather flipping
I did so many didn’t see it
I folded and bought it
Mainly for the skill up to get me to 100 cause I’m impatient
Hey im switching from outlaw into assa what is the way for m+ is deathstalker better or Fatebound ?
deathstalker leads slightly in dps, and by a good margin in tankiness
and by slightly i mean like 1-3%? ish
ah okay and what is more fun? :D
aight thank you :)
what weapon enchants are you using atm since the best one aint out yet?
none
cus why would i waste gold to enchant weaponss that im gonna replace asap lol
unless the enchants were under 1k gold i wouldnt bother
personally
ive even got x2 584 adventure track daggers with crit/mast haste/mast

do we break tier?
!tierbreak
You will not want to break your tier until roughly 40 or 50 item levels above your tier set, at which point you should simulate yourself through top gear to get direct, accurate answers. This is highly dependant on your gear as a character so make sure you check with a sim first before swapping/deleting gear
Man subterfuge/double vanish feels so good on deathstalker lmao 
I hope they never fix er bug now so I have an excuse to stay on the feel good side of tree

would u recommend it over quazi's plater?
"- Important Mob Tracking in mythic+ from the incredible work Quazzi has done" seems like it just builds upon
Always have
I personally use Jundies. Plater is all preference really
But you just find the one you love and do it
i think cev's is the best for me, thanks a lot !!
do we not use crimson tempest in m+ single targert ?
ok thx
Last patch someone made a quazzi profile that had pandemic timers I wonder if that’s still around
You tryna do me or
I was agreeing with you!

i am using quazzi's and my dots warn me when they are in pandemic
quick question guys.. best looking race for transmog horde?
belf
or female orc
Undead or orc female
female orc goated
I don’t know you could play a baby undead, that would be so fun
Female orc looks like male human😂
undead , baby*

i updated it myself
what magic did you do?
I don't know of a kingsbane tracker
u have one in our own pack
My tracker for kingsbane is for the timers
No
Is it because you hardly know er?
I'm talking about Kingsbane damage
DO NOT TELL ME I DON'T KNOW ABOUT

Yay nice
anyone got a macro that has mutilate in non-stealth and ambush in stealth that doesnt effect the fact it changes when it procs during combat to swap automatically?
/cast [mod] [form] Ambush; Mutilate
Mutilate auto swaps to ambush when blindside procs
So If you just put ambush on your stealth bar and mutilate on your regular bar youre done
i dont have a stealth bar and normal bar
but it doesnt swap on my 'main bar' but it does swap automatically in combat lol
this works
yep
tyty
Wowhead has a list but it's always better to just sim
cheers il check
can someone please explain to me, why i only want to use one non-lethal poison when i skilled dragon tempered blades and can use 2? every guide i read says poisons to use: numbing, amplifyiong and deadly poison
And crippling
So is death stalkers mark supposed to not work with echoing reprimand?
No one knows

haha yep, its nice when you can new gear from quest 1
my other toons dont see shit until max basically
do you spread rupture in aoe or just have it on main target
hey the WQs give rep only once or u can do it on the alts also abd still give rep ?
Depends on the context. In m+ yeah
Contracts count 2x, wqs once
It spreads when you break stealth.
World quests are one time warband rep
But completing a world quest gives contract rep also
That rep is awarded per char
aaa ok
The actual world quest is once per warvand
so u can spam for that 5 rep
Ye

incorrect
World quests only give rep once per alt
That whole plan won't work
you can see this in the tooltip for world quests, it says the rep is one-time
What about rares and weeklies 
hell no i’m not doing that, just saying THE MATH IS WRONG
So far what are the events like dragonbane keep, feast, etc from this new expansion?
Please mark the answer as spoiler
renown 7 and chill is the move
maybe a stupid question, but is there any reason to track amplifying poison stacks on targets?
thanks
Tell me you don't have a life without telling me you don't have a life
Don't hurt me
They have to prove it to themselves
also @slate crown while i have you here, do you think its theoretical possible to make a weakaura that completely hides the ! from quests that are warband completed
i dont know if addons can hide certain blizz ui elements like this
Doesn’t handy notes do that
right now they are faded
so clearly blizz flagged these quests somehow already
they just arent completely hidden
I’d have to double check
Not on pc but you’re probably right tbh
hey guys ım using /cast [combat] Vanish; Stealth for vanish and stealth in same button, is there way to make this spammable macro so i cant cancel it by accident ?
no
the !'s are in the world
the UI elements could be hidden from the map with WA
but, the default map already has a filter for it
so use that
ye, thats on
but

hi my fellow sneaki breekis. Brand new to assassin rogue here but Hekili is actually doing a fantastic job helping me with my rotation but I know there is always more to learn and improve on, so I'm here to learn about the nitty gritty that isn't always easily accessible
Well same here and tbh more than rotation in my opinion ita understand how to build the damage
exactly. and questing vs actual dps scenario on a boss. (as i assume we're all doing a lot of questing right now)
Like i'm not spending my deathmark on a single red bar that's going to die in like 10 seconds....
Okay so, straight to the point:
- Hekili is good for a really basic level for us rogues in general. After you understand the BARE MINIMUN, Hekili stops being useful.
Is Recuperator not working? or does it just not show on details healing?
probably still bugged
@haughty lantern
@haughty lantern and @remote turtle The best tip i have for you guys is: Read the wowhead guide, that was written by whispyr.
!guides
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
noted. As of right now I definitely still myself "beginner" but (and i mean this with the most respect possible) how high is the skill ceiling for assassin? (I am a BM hunter main, my own skill ceiling is not that high)
I just need to know WHEN i should be jumping ship from Hekili to my own fingers
Try this stealth - ambush - garrote - rupture - bane - dice and slice - shiv - envenom 7 points x 3
i did. As of right now I am actually doing REALLY well with assassin (it kind of feels unfair) but I am always striving to be better
Thats what am doing ( am newbie w rogue too )
dont
ok but I took Deathstalker as per the wowhead recommendation, would you not ALWAYS want to ambush out of stealth to apply the debuff?

if you're new, try understanding the basics before giving advice

What?
How
Can u dm me the errors? Cus I have none
Thats what im understand from wowhead / icyveins
so first major question, how much do we dislike versatility? I am still "BM pilled" and BM HATES vers but loves crit/haste/mast. Should I be avoiding vers at all costs? Do I just tolerate it?
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
- Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
you should basically never trust icyveins
also wrong
any good edis to weak auras to show deathstalkers mark then darkest night after 3 stack used ? using quazis wa pack there in there but dont show ?
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:

oh god it took me way too long to realize "bane" was shorthand for kingsbane
Gahaha
I don't think I've ever seen that one used before
ofc i always will sim myself when it comes down to actual gear, was just wondering what gear I should be aiming for in terms of stats. Since heroics open up today, I am making my "gear shopping list" of things to grind from dungeons

Skill ceiling on assa is relatively high, not the most impressive thing ever but there's a lot of tiny things you can do to absolutely maximize DPS in situations, but it's pretty accessible with a very high floor and relatively low APM
If im doing something wrong...
i am ACTUALLY ilvl 571 right now. Very few pieces I feel actually need to be replaced. Mainly chasing trinkets and rings right now. I have been.....persistent with hunting rares for the adventure track gear.
roger roger, thank you
Omg a hooker
what rares are you sweeping
like all zones or
heroic is 567, ah is 564, you probably wont even need to do heroics unless you really want to
might start this
Weird name i know
do you guys think that outlaw will be better than assassination only in low lvl keys?
no one knows
outlaw looks shite
consering the time that priority targets stay alive
Didn't you hear all the strimmers say outlaw is deadge? 
sudden demise is huge procs in low keys
My problem as a new assassin is for the re-opener. When Kingsbane / lethal mark comes back, im usually out of energy and with no tea left for the 20 sec or so
you're then using tea when you shouldnt
all zones. I got my BM hunter to 80 first (best class for any world content imo) and did the whole story + rare hunting on him. Sadly BM is really weak right now
otherwise yeah, just sweep the zones. I have ADHD so my hunter gatherer instinct is strong (i.e. i can tolerate just going back and forth and hunting little shinies or rares) so i keep myself busy as I do paths. Gather herbs, grab the little bags of stuff/wax. Grab chests.
All the 80 rares are loot once per day, AND they drop 30 of the resonance whatever, so that currency starts to add up too.
i was trying to be blind for that because of my muscular memory on outlaw lol
When are you using tea?
like i said, MAINLY for trinkets and maybe rings. The one thing AH can't suuplement.
At that point i think the pull its death already for bossing i suppose u have to do some mechs before that point
But on the real nobody really knows relative strength of the specs. I will say outlaw didn't feel very good when I tried it but obviously feeling is subjective
darkmoon decks are sub 5000g each
do we have that sequence as we had in the nordrassil patch? kingsbane+vanish+shiv+deathmatk+tea?
you can buy perfect stat rings with sockets on AH as well
that is long gone
Sin p much feels how it did post rework. Probs will be fine in keys
nice, i hated that
ok but SURPRISE my hunter is actually an inscriptionist and i made multiple darkmoon decks before even hitting 80 on my hunter. So I already have a Vivacity on my rogue 😛
which deck is best for assassin tho? I can probably make one of those as soon as I get back home
No exact moment, but after the opener, i enter a phase when i just repply dot when they're about to expire and boast a bit of damage with envenom. And usually, it exhaust my energy. pretty quick
ok, this is mainly to sate my own curiosity (and I know we don't have access to tier yet so this is a sort of moot question) but 2 of the tier pieces (shoulder and chest) have MASSIVE amounts of versatility. Do we prefer one slot over the other? Wowhead says get all 5 tier pieces but I dooooon't think that's right? (but what do I know, I've been assassin for less than a weekend)
concerta actually 😛
you should only use tea charges in shiv windows during KB, and only if tea gives you 100 energy
Usually its a "it does not matter, sim you character"
Sim it and take whatever it says is better.
makes sense. Was just curious.
Be sure to actually read the wowhead guide to understand stuff better
instead of just pressing stuff on that order because its on the image
(reading your talents is also really good)
Fan of knives in single target keeps triggering the "wrong button" response in my brain still lmao fuckin muscle memory
Vicious venoms fixes that :3
Vicious means you never press fan right?
yep
I've been running it down in m+ spec, idk if that one can play vicious venoms
Oh I got another question
Are there any cardinal sins of assassin rogue I should be aware of?
i would imagine assa will be 'worse' than outlaw until m+ when they have meaningful hp pools but i guess we will see
I like that talent tho so I might play it for raid for funsies
exsanging ur deathmark
hmmm i can't remember anything huge rn
playing outlaw
Yeah outlaw kinda just goes swish swish stab and everything falls over because of the total hp of stuff rn
not using deadly poison
Explain please 🙏
thats an old one
Sudden demise go brr in smol content
not talenting venemous wounds/deathmark
dont mind him
i still sometimes go in fight without poisons
happens
Hekili tells at me to re poison my blades when they run out so I’ll never forget
im giving you historical sins also
Oooh a history lesson. I’m all ears
oh yeah
Overwritting a empowered garrote by a normal one
making sure u have 4 poisons up when you talent into DTB
i was guilty of forgetting often when switching from aoe -> st builds, or from sub->sin
till i got a better poison weakaura
Ive never done anything as silly or stupid as that haha... Ha...... Ha..... 
XDD

That's how I bricked a 25 galakrond's fall in season 3
😄
emp garrote is when you use garrote out of stealth so it does 50% more total damage right? (still learning/memorizing all of the terminology)
how do i know when its up
Get a WA
make a tracker for it
It's up after you apply deathstalker's mark
from what i understand, Clear the Witnesses makes FoK stronger overall. Makes it viable to fit into a ST rotation (sparesly) or makes it WAY stronger for AoE
Bonespike
ah ok
Iirc
SBS?
i just wasnt tracking ig
i guess it shows when u have bonespike available
ye
Can you send the AOE version of this as well? Just formatted my pc.. forgot it. And also ,do you have the suggested talents for m+?
OH so this is a question because I barely ever play melee specs
you should be BEHIND a boss whenever you can, right? because when attacking from the front, melee attacks/spells can get blocked or parried, right? (Hence making a parried kingsbane a YUGE waste of dps)
idk why the graphic so complicated on wowhead
hi guys i was main outlaw in s4 (just started wow 5 month ago) i heard that assa seems to be the best rogue spec but is assa fun with tww change ? or u see it like a broken spec but unfun ?
I thought fatebound was the best one rn?
yes, we had quite some laughs about KBs getting parried
heres my simplified version
yes
chill

its about 2% difference between both iirc
it doesnt
i havent kept up to date with bugfixes and stuff but deathstalker seemed better for all content last i checked
fatebound is just what we do now + hero tree fully passive
It's whispyr Afenar Edit?
no these are my weakauras
i edited afenar myself and stole some from LE
so the ABCs of assassin rogue
Always
Be
Cbackstabbing
so wowhead guide is wrong saying deathstalker?
thats what we generally want, the boss's back. There are bosses where that's impossible
Whispyr isnt wrong no
ye.
That's what I do too, I wanted to steal the +1 for bonespikes
Ahaha
do we have a backstab even 
that's from LE pack
ok now i am curious. Do we run fatebound or deathstalker? Wowhead says Deathstalker so i've been running with that
Give me a sec, ill show something curious
GRANTED i'm having great success with assassin regardless, but I will always strive to be better
whispyr added this today in order for folks to calm down
dont be bitter be better
there is no set in stone answer
EVERYTHING can change with 1 tuning build
ahhh gotcha. Nothing so definitive like BM hunter (currently dark ranger is smoking pack leader in dps 😭)
subterfurge and extra vanish is also not in the talents.. I thought these are the must ones
negative
those are -5% less dps than what we have presented there
subterfurge is literally useless for us assa rogues
I thought we need subterfurge for bigger packs with indiscriminate carnage
wait
once we get Deathstalker's Mark rolling (out of a single stealth) ideally we never need to stealth again to keep it going, right?
this does interact with iron wire
so you have both I.garrote and ironwire for 6 seconds
without subterfuge

not for rupture tho, right?
in theory no, you only need that 1 ambush on the opener
for rupture
subterfuge would LITERALLY just be to apply ambush/mark to things (hence why it's useless)
sorry, sbs?
BONE SPIKES FOR EVERYONE
check the rotation going down
no better
ill make a video
thanks a lot, what does sbs stand for?
serrated bonespike
oh ffs
another key ability is DN
ohhhhh so that's why hekilli keeps telling me to open with garrote instead of ambush
!waa
are you in TWW already?

@stone minnow
ye 🙂 level 80, 571 ilvl
last I checked the sims weren't done but has that changed? I know tuning still ongoing just curious about current status of 3 specs
thanks a lot
read your capstone (deathstalker)
current state is outlaw is dooming, sub is clunking, and assa is gloomin
(aka no one knows there isnt tuning/raid yet)
ambush from stealth applies Deathstalker's Mark. This makes me think you open with ambush...
when you have DN you dont need to do that
if your target died or you consumed the 3 stacks you gain DN (darkest night) buff
royal, out of curiousity - can you show me your key bindings? literally the skillbar? trying to decide which keybindigs to use.. 😛
you gotta not clarify what DN is
until they ask
which lets you re-apply mark without needing ambush
man that forces me to write even more
in stealth
the random poison in 6 is because of respecs
OK i see the discrepancy (i'm desperately trying to not just be a hekili slave and actually learn how to play the spec)
I open with Ambush to apply deathstalkers mark
Then I open with improved garrote assuming I can leep the Deathstalkers rolling?
(i've just been doing a lot of questing as assassin but obviously no like....major raiding or m+ so I am still trying to figure out the context clues for all of assassin)
Tiriosh connoisseur 🔥
you'll have a better feel for the hero talents when m0 opens and stuff lives enough time
So Whispyr's plater has all of the Quazii's important plater info in it?
gotta use the slowfall 😛
Saved me just a few hours ago, one of many times since Friday!
Is the animacharged combo point and deathstalkers mark still bugged?
I AM SO SAD THAT THEY RETIRED THE DAGGER SET ABILITY
i never even got to use it
The important bit is still there!
yes. He said will be updated before s1

thats been in all of their content since release also
like in their showcase of zones
^^^^
cause its the coolest thing in TWW
:C
i would not call the giant crystal a spoiler
unless you LITERALLY had your head burried in the sand
F
(i actually knew about it dw)
its just night and day 
but i know barely nothing about the exapnsion
don't worry we barely know anything about the crystal
also how does assassin feel about the 571 trinket from The Weavers? The customizeable pheromone bottle
best human xmog ive seen
very "anime protagonist" but how did they do the lean?
narcisus
this is me
i dont xmog
ohhhhh
I can see my rogue in this pic and I dont like it
the fact that you can SEE your rogue at all is the real problem
Never paid the trainer for that silly stealth skill
hopefully not repeating the same shit... is Sudden Demise not working for others?

in world content its always weird
ok just making sure. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
are you guys going for deathstalker over fatebound for m+?
We'll need to first check what bug fixes happen until then
do ppl black list wepon poison on plater so its not 4 slots just taken from them ?
yes
i blacklist everything except deadly
deadly shows me the other ones
and its useful to see if it falls off
Guys do u use any macros for Assa ?
With assassination Deathstalker, if we take the talent lingering darkness, do we get the 30% increase if the target dies or only if it expires and ends by itself?
only burst macro with dm + potion + racials if you use per example orc
Even if it dies
Can....numbing? Poison and Atrophic poison both effect a boss at the same time if our raid team has 2 rogues?

Yes, but i cant recall if mindnumbing does that much of a big job on bosses
ok so it IS useful to have more than 1 rogue in a raid group?
yes
ok cool
but it is RARE to find 2
xD
!poison
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
!dn
Do I need to always be in stealth to apply a Deathstalker Mark?
- Only the initial application. Darkest Night reapplies and will be the majority of your applications
Echoing Reprimand.... - Yes, Echoing Reprimand doesn't interact with the Mark / Darkest Night, this is one of the biggest bugs still plaguing Deathstalker as a whole
- Until it is fixed, you would want to run 2/2 Lethality and still put 1 point into Echoing Reprimand
But the 3rd cp or something? - Correct, there has been a newly found... bug? interaction? With the Mark and Echoing Reprimand. It requires you to have your 3rd combo point be animacharged, the Mark be applied from Darkest Night, and then consuming the animacharge with Envenom. Should all those conditions be met, it will consume a stack of the Mark as intended.
Does Blizzard know? - There is no way they don't know. This has been mass reported, screamed from the rooftops, highlighted in every wowhead article, youtube video, forum post and stream since Deathstalker was revealed in alpha. The only thing we can do is keep reporting the bug through the in-game report, making noise on forums, and waiting.
well it should be rare to FIND any (if you get found, you should have your stealth license revoked)
it's the hitman approach: no one will notice IF THERE IS NO ONE TO NOTICE
Whispyr welcome back
returning player here, so sorry :b But does anyone know what this is? Can't seem to find the name to blacklist it off plater ... 🙂
anyone knows if atrophic still stacks with multiple rogues

i really suggest you dont blacklist that
