We already dealt with it nerd

grim jay
#

It will be rough

#

And cute

gusty mirage
grim jay
#

Ah now the messages did load in

blazing badge
#

Given the fight is more than 2 minutes, if you do that and delay, you will not be able to apply improved garrote next time you use deathmark

grim jay
#

Im surfing the slow wave until next month

blazing badge
#

If the fight is less than 2 minutes, then your variant is preferable by me

gusty mirage
#

I think it has to do with delaying vanish, because you wait for vanish to be back up for your next deathmark. Eleem or whispyr can probably answer it better than me because I’m firmly in the retirement home now

#

You wouldn’t want to desync vanish and deathmark by too much. And as Mekc said, for short fights your suggestion is likely going to be better

grim jay
#

Yeah you just delay your next DM further

#

If you delay vanish

#

So it doesnt really add anything to garrote again there

magic thorn
#

Ok i understand, thanks for the insight

grim jay
#

And the uptime in DM remains unchanged

gusty mirage
#

Is it going to double your damage? No. But it’s for sure a dps gain in situations where fights are shorter than getting a second synced dm/vanish because you get more uptime on imp garrote

magic thorn
#

But wouldnt it be better for a fight where you dont get a second synced DM + Vanish to use my opener and hold vanish until the second DM

#

So only appliable for fights with less then 2m 25s

gusty mirage
#

Cause you’re getting full value out of the imp garrotes with deathmark

#

Esp cause you’re getting one cast of vanish anyway on that kill timer

#

Essentially anything shorter than 2 minutesish CD windows, it’s sort of a free for all and a feel angle toward CD usage

earnest remnant
#

you should get TWW come to EU stormreaver and craft me daggers

gusty mirage
#

I’m not buying TWW again

#

I scammed them into refunding it once idk if I can do it again

blazing badge
#

What is the value to update Garrote / Rupture debuffs? Was it 6 seconds or so?

#

Updating my WA.

gusty mirage
#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

gusty mirage
#

Rupture is roughly 7.1s I think?

#

Or 7.2

brisk plank
#

do we always save vanish for improved gar before we deathmark?

gusty mirage
#

Ye you want vanish to reapply an imp gar during DM

#

Order doesn’t matter as much cause if you vanish garrote during DM you’ll overwrite the non imp garrote

brisk plank
#

oh during? like last 3 sec in kingsbane or thats obsolete?

!design

prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay. No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better. An additional 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute

@gusty mirage

#

Is that an official ping attack? PogO

wide ferry
#

After we go through our kingsbane rotation how often are we shooting for max combo points to consume mark?

grim jay
#

You only apply the marks with max cp if DN is up

wide ferry
#

oop my bad lol

grim jay
#

Happens to the best

red tinsel
#

That's kinda of what puts me off from Assa ATM. Feels a bit counter intuitive

grim jay
#

Idk why it would feel that way tbf

#

Especially if you can just play fatebound

red tinsel
#

My peak fantasy is throwing coins around like a Diablo loot goblin

grim jay
#

Fatebound outlaw it is

red tinsel
#

I'm playing Outlaw Trickster purely out of spite

grim jay
#

Couldnt hate myself enough to do that tbh

sharp trellis
still sable
#

Just curious how did the rogue design change from constantly pressing buttons with having a limitless supply of energy and having a nice flow to having to wait for energy to pool? Was the apm too much for the general public?

Hi

#

Ily

gusty mirage
#

ily more

spice surge
#

Both assa and sub have historically almost always had to wait and pool

red tinsel
queen egret
#

On beta when i rup rup garrote, i instantly was refunded my CP to rup again, why dont i get refunded those cp on lvie?

red tinsel
#

I think we were even slower on classic, but nothing lived long anyway

still sable
#

Maybe it's me because I played during start of dragonflight untill the end of season 2 mainly playing subtlety and assassin on the side but for some reason the rotations felt way more smooth

#

i am struggling with assa because of my outlaw brain

I want to play Assa as Outlaw, but Blizz says "no"

Stop talking exsang into existence

#

I played the dance macabre subtlety build most of the time but that was kinda buttery.. so I guess tis normal to have to wait a few seconds between burst windows now?

I dont think I ever played exsanguinate

Well iam a seasonal player so happen to have longer amounts of time between wow addictions. But thanks davyn for confirming

#

I'll have to get used to the other playstyle but I was afraid I was playing it wrong

grim jay
#

Nah its totally normal dw

#

Only outlaw is spamy usually

craggy cedar
#

Anyone have a link to the rotation as it's shaping up to date? The whole king bane, when to use mark and shiv thing is getting more complicated than Arcane mage in Dragonflight.

#

Better yet I've seen the diagrams for the rotations , but looking for more detailed explanation.

still sable
#

Sorry BTW for my mostly subtlety focused rant in the assassination channel 😅

#

i can't see this because of my work router blocking wowhead lmao

#

did they fix anything in deathstalker?

they fixed subtelty amps not working, but we knew that already

still nice to see it mentioned

something is balanced?

Can you suggest the rogue team to make a tanking spec for rogue so I never have to switch my alts

vestal wren

ok thanks!

vestal wren
still sable
#

Well still I think if you are having some power to pull the right strings over at blizzard give them a wink and whisper rogue tank

#

They know what to do

grim jay
vestal wren
#

or how the classic thing was called

still sable
#

There is one class and it is rogue.. so obviously it should be able to do all roles if you ask me

is nightstalker still a thin foir kingsbane?

yeah, found a WA for war within

#

that still showed when to vanish

wide ferry
#

So for DS we want to keep energy under 50%? Or am i reading that wrong. Since we want to spam envenoms?

royal lantern
#

you want to keep the envenom buff running all the time

strange python
#

it assassination better than outlaw?

royal lantern
#

if you go above 50% energy, you start going more spammy, if you go bellow 50% you go more into envenom maintenance

grim jay
#

It is

#

Numberswise, noone knows yet

strange python
#

ahh lame

royal lantern
strange python
#

what makes this a stupid question

royal lantern
#

what is better supposed to mean lol

wide ferry
#

IMO outlaw is awful without Acro

strange python
#

which does more damage in both mythic+ and raiding

grim jay
royal lantern
#

gameplay? thats a subjective opinion

numbers? the raid tuning happens when the raid is out lol

strange python
#

ok, well i thought my question was implied with the info we have now from beta

grim jay
#

!wa

grim jay
#

As its outdated on top of being not relevant in the first place as its beta

strange python
#

Ok so the most up to date info is outdated now

wet briar
#

tuning always happen after raid release

strange python
#

like i dont care about the future

#

if it changes

#

so will I

#

i can always change specs

grim jay
#

Think fuu said sin and sub are about equal on ST sims rn if that helps you in your decisionmaking

tropic cedar
royal lantern
#

^

strange python
#

i dont have a favorite

spice surge
#

Comparing sims if often not the greatest idea, and there has been a decent chunk of balancing since the last raid testing

#

So theres not much data to base anything of

tropic cedar
#

they are all fun in their own right

short sedge
#

The better specs are the ones who don't have to play fatebound

spice surge
#

And obviously the fact that theyre gonna continue changing things even after the raid is released

strange python
#

I just want to do damage. Specfically more than hunters.

lethal lintel
#

yup assa is shit strong in aoe

#

how is it in ST?

spice surge

Mid

strange python
#

i played outlaw in dragonflight, switched to assassination after watching a ton of videos. Seems like its the best out of the 3 specs (with the info we have now and can always be changed)

bleeds and poisons are pretty satisfying

i just hate that everything currently dies in 3 seconds

Isn't there a 590 dagger that people can craft? 😄 I'm tired of going heroics for a weapon

There is

Yes

LFR crests and then blue dagger

spice surge
nova aspen
#

i got a 571 dagger from a rarespawn by accident, and another from i think the water event in isle of dorn

#

upgraded them both to 584

#

since they were same track as heroic

lethal lintel
nova aspen
haughty flicker
#

the lfr crests are next to useless anyway

abstract linden
#

U can upgrade to 480 with just flightstones

grim jay
#

Even

abstract linden
#

If your that worried about crests

haughty flicker
#

there are like super optimal ways to use them if you are absolutely min/maxxing

spice surge
rotund oak
dark token
#

Just craft the crests instead of upgrading

nova aspen
#

if u would instead overcap on valorstones its no harm, and the crests are useless

dark token
#

It's more crest efficient and costs 0 valorstones

abstract linden
haughty flicker
#

valor back pog

lethal lintel
dark token
#

Yes if you can afford gold cost

#

I would only craft one

#

In case you get a veteran 1h from weekly content

nova aspen
#

there are quite a few ways to get adventure track daggers now

#

and u get like 30 valorstones per heroic so if u dont mind some farming its worth upgrading them

abstract linden
#

What's the best spot to farm them because my luck in dungeons has been god awful FeelsBadMan

grim jay
#

Dungeons

abstract linden
nova aspen
#

dungeons, weekly events, world quest, rare spawn

grim jay
#

Weekly and wq arent really farming

#

Tbf

nova aspen
#

yea i mean just do the event and check for wq

#

then farm dungeons

grim jay
#

Can also just buy a dagger on the AH

#

So you have something until you get one on the higher track

where do you get weathered harbinger crest?

the blue ones

from dugneons?

I'm happy to be full bleed

#

I like it

It was great leveling as full bleed to be fair

#

just go from mob to mob and dot them then they pop from SD.

#

I'm just not sure how viable full bleed will be once we start hitting +12 keys

So world quests, rares, and renowns are what everyones gearin up with? I wish theyd just release m+ and raid already facckk i need tier lol

ok i have a feelycraft question. i know these are everyones favorites. i am really struggling with picking any other race besides nelf. meld, even if only useful 1-3 times in a dungeon for a restealth, seems worth it to me. even if just for the "ah yea i got rupture out a little faster there" feelings. is anyone else stuck in this boat? not being horde is making queues with friends impossible, and i think ive lost hope they'll ever fix that.

Is there a pre-season bis list?

amber stream
#

Thanks!

normal mist
#

Bis = ilvl

shy pecan
#

Pretty sure Whispyr will tell you that "BIS list" is just whatever he saw and threw together in like a minute

#

because of what Royal said in that you should be simming

limber lion
#

Well just takes the highest simming build and slaps those on the list

#

With some variance for stuff like trinkets

slate crown
#

it's sim vomit

limber lion
#

But everyone's bis is different

amber stream
#

I agree simming is the best way, but it is pre-season, I do not want to keep on simming every single piece that drops, if there is a benchmark, I would just follow that, or spam whatever drops it

slate crown
#

If you just want a shortcut, it really is just "is the ilvl number higher than my previous"

#

for now

shy pecan
#

I mean, the easiest way to approach that is just equip the highest ilvl piece you get. And when you have them all, then sim.

slate crown
#

for things of equal ilvl, you can sim, or just say "it doesn't matter right now" because it doesn't really.

#

or just follow these heuristics

#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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
waxen oyster
#

gotta get that week 1 normal parse

limber lion
#

It's called ilvl

waxen oyster
#

Classic has given players so much brainrot

limber lion
#

No it hasn't

subtle tundra
#

I'd understand maybe try harding ilvl if there wasn't a hc week, but as it stands it's all meaningless

limber lion
#

This shit hasn't changed in 10 years

slate crown
#

It's ok, I understand the impulse

#

you have a decision as to what stats you pick on your gear

waxen oyster
#

I never understood the bis fixation

slate crown
#

that's why the game lets you pick

#

so you want that decision to be meaningful

waxen oyster
#

it hasnt been relevant in 10 years

limber lion
#

People are fixated on bis and stats all the time

slate crown
#

why else make decisions about gear

limber lion
#

When it literally does not work like that

slate crown
#

What else have they introduced in particular to our spec that makes stacking stuff like haste worthless?

And where we don't have breakpoints

Or rather, what mechanic makes it so there are no haste breakpoints for our dots?

cyan dew
fallow estuary
#

any good trinkets / special items in hc dungeons?

limber lion
#

No one?

indigo mulch
#

The game has shifted towards a more continuous scaling model rather than one based on breakpoints. In earlier expansions, certain percentages of Haste would directly increase the number of ticks on a DoT or significantly lower the GCD. For example, reaching a specific Haste value might allow a DoT to tick one extra time within its duration, which could lead to noticeable bursts in DPS. This made reaching these "breakpoints" highly desirable.

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.

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

Hey, got a question, what is the proper rotation for aoe in dungeons and stuff? how should i approach those huge pulls when there is 7+ mobs?

indigo mulch

Bleed as much as you can then start pumping envenoms into the prio target.

Thats generally what i do lmao

What i was doing was spamming fan of knives and rupture every mob i can but dunno if thats correct

I mean in HC nothing survives long enough to do that.

That's basically right right now

just apply bleeds

right now that's all you can do

get stealth when you can

indigo mulch

Just use IC to apply bleeds then find a target with a lot of health and sink envenoms into that.

slate crown

to spread garrote

At the moment nothing survives long enough for an entire rupture to finish.

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.

and spatter is basically a green dot

#

that you need to maintain yes

haughty lantern
prisma monolithBOT
#

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

  • Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
  • While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.

you should always have 5 ruptures up for the agi anyway from
