Ima deal with you bozo
It will be rough
And cute


Ah now the messages did load in
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
If the fight is less than 2 minutes, then your variant is preferable by me
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
Yeah you just delay your next DM further
If you delay vanish
So it doesnt really add anything to garrote again there
Ok i understand, thanks for the insight
Even then probably not noticeably ig, since it doesnt have that much value on its own
And the uptime in DM remains unchanged
I mean on a fight where you’re not getting a second synced death mark/vanish it’s for sure noticeable
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
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
Ye it should be in that situation
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
you should get TWW come to EU stormreaver and craft me daggers
I’m not buying TWW again
I scammed them into refunding it once idk if I can do it again
What is the value to update Garrote / Rupture debuffs? Was it 6 seconds or so?
Updating my WA.
!pandemic
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
do we always save vanish for improved gar before we deathmark?
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
oh during? like last 3 sec in kingsbane or thats obsolete?
5.4 and 7.2, got it, thanks!
But you waste a tick if you have a non imp garr running and DM before you reapply

Imma waste my PTO to fly to Germany and kiss you on the mouth buddy
Im kinda shocked youd call that waste

Ideally you refresh it with an imp gar before, but sometimes we brain fart (at least I do)
fair, so ill just remember to do it before my cd sequence. cheers bud
!design
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
After we go through our kingsbane rotation how often are we shooting for max combo points to consume mark?
You dont consume mark with max Cp
You only apply the marks with max cp if DN is up
oop my bad lol
Happens to the best
That's kinda of what puts me off from Assa ATM. Feels a bit counter intuitive
My peak fantasy is throwing coins around like a Diablo loot goblin
I'm playing Outlaw Trickster purely out of spite
Noice
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 cutie
ily more
Not sure what you mean
It didnt
Both assa and sub have historically almost always had to wait and pool
Some expansions were released after Classic
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?
I think we were even slower on classic, but nothing lived long anyway
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
Outlaw still plays like this
i am struggling with assa because of my outlaw brain
Honestly, I think it was around Exsang redesign
I want to play Assa as Outlaw, but Blizz says "no"
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
Amazing ability

S1 and S2 sub was out of the norm and rather spamy
Legion exsang was peak (watch seli appear to hate on it)
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
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.
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
ah ok
Fuu weren't you the one giving tips to the blizzard team about its development?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Are there any Sin sims around
Can you suggest the rogue team to make a tanking spec for rogue so I never have to switch my alts
still running them, but sin is about on par with sub on st it seems
ok thanks!
realz was in the server, so anyone who participated in conversations with him dirctly or indirectly impacted decisions.
We have no direct link to devs, and even if we suggest things its blizz decision if they agree or disagree on feedback
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
season of discovery?
or how the classic thing was called
There is one class and it is rogue.. so obviously it should be able to do all roles if you ask me
Hahaha
Temporary tattoo support when
Fencers arent tanks 
no reason they cant be
They can be if you put enough temporary tattoos on them
slap people with a glove as a taunt
Should I think of this as the demon hunter having a walk in day and blessing you with the sigil of choice in the form of a tattoo in a badly chosen area on your speckles bodies

is nightstalker still a thin foir kingsbane?
nightstalker literally doesnt exist anymore
So for DS we want to keep energy under 50%? Or am i reading that wrong. Since we want to spam envenoms?
you want to keep the envenom buff running all the time
it assassination better than outlaw?
if you go above 50% energy, you start going more spammy, if you go bellow 50% you go more into envenom maintenance
By definition
It is
Numberswise, noone knows yet
ahh lame
that is a really weird and kinda stupid question?
and whys that
what makes this a stupid question
what is better supposed to mean lol
IMO outlaw is awful without Acro
which does more damage in both mythic+ and raiding
You vanish before you DM now to reapply imp garrote
gameplay? thats a subjective opinion
numbers? the raid tuning happens when the raid is out lol
ok, well i thought my question was implied with the info we have now from beta

The beta info regarding that is mostly irrelevant
As its outdated on top of being not relevant in the first place as its beta
Ok so the most up to date info is outdated now
tuning always happen after raid release
Basically
like i dont care about the future
if it changes
so will I
i can always change specs
Think fuu said sin and sub are about equal on ST sims rn if that helps you in your decisionmaking
what people mean is that if you are in a position where you are asking this question, you are always better off just playing what you enjoy
^
i dont have a favorite
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
then play them all
they are all fun in their own right
The better specs are the ones who don't have to play fatebound
And obviously the fact that theyre gonna continue changing things even after the raid is released
I just want to do damage. Specfically more than hunters.
Mid
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
I mean, is there, without a spark?
Yes
when do we get the first spark?
LFR crests and then blue dagger

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
week 1 of the season normally
isnt it a waste upgrading gear now?
not really
the lfr crests are next to useless anyway
U can upgrade to 480 with just flightstones
If you only use low crests it aint
Even
If your that worried about crests
there are like super optimal ways to use them if you are absolutely min/maxxing
Aschually its valorstones
580,and its explorer gear,u can upgrade up to adventurer gear now
Just craft the crests instead of upgrading
if u would instead overcap on valorstones its no harm, and the crests are useless
It's more crest efficient and costs 0 valorstones
Fair haha
valor back pog
is it worth crafting 2 one hand weapons now?
Yes if you can afford gold cost
I would only craft one
In case you get a veteran 1h from weekly content
i wouldn't
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
What's the best spot to farm them because my luck in dungeons has been god awful 

dungeons, weekly events, world quest, rare spawn
Can also just buy a dagger on the AH

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

Wait why is SD hitting so damn hard now? O_o;
My gear is trash its still hitting for 2.2mil
outdoor activities are world quests? are there other activities?
So SD does more
HC dungeons are one
Fair.
But theyre capped at 90 per week like other crests
What SD ?
oh you can get them from there too?
flying through the azerite orbs in the air gives them
Sudden demise
Theres renown and stuff that give rewards outside the cap
does not say on the description tho
2.2 might be a target with DM aswell, could deal more than 2m in s4 already
It says heroic dungeons though
are there ideal items to craft?
Yeah there's no point in heroics
damn my bad
Just how it's going to be until we get harder content
Yeah, i'm looking forawrd to playing hybrid instead of full bleed 😭
Whys that? I was all pumped to be able to get more than one bleed off before shit dies lol
It feels a bit meh playing full bleed on ST.
because health pools are so low
that's 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
Cause you still need some form of ST D;
Wow is always time gated.. 😦
😦
I guess it depends on comp but hybrid just seams like the better choice lol. I dunno D;
Gives me time to level alts i guess. Everytime i level an alt i realize why i play rogue lol
Idle afk in stealth? 😉
I got arcane up to 80 as well, but damn its not nearly as fun 😦

Whaaaaat
Arcane is hella fun
I just prefer rogue.
dungeon spam is stupid fast
I like dot managment to much i guess. :S
the blindside ambush doesn't apply marks, right?
It does not, as you are not in stealth
omega lame
I honestly thinking about doing fatebound for HC dungeons to be fair. Its such a hassle dealing with the mark lmao
Then i can be lazy
Anyone check which renown’s assa would want to farm for first?
Doesnt really matter
It would be if it did because it would interfere with the capstone
think it's worth upgrading to 593?
Just go for ilvl
You will replace 90% of it in a week anyway
None if you dont like farming renown
Its pretty trivial
i apologize, I wasn't aware
all of it?
the arathi sets are great
mail and plate more than leather tbf
but the leather still has really nice pieces
bros i wonder what xalatath's robe smells like
go away
Do we have any sims yet?
Feet pics?
and heroic dungeons
go hybrid
Thats pretty disgusting even if its a cartoon
any1 have a WA for seeing combo points in numbers?

how are the variance between all 3 specs looking?
Ginormous
probably like a 7year old corpse, cus thats what that body is
You do realize the tier bonus is insanely boring right?
Like it adds nothing to gameplay its just a numerical gain.

do we really FoK on ST here?
Right now at any given moment my plater profile can have 10-15 debuffs above an enemies head and it makes it difficult to manage my ruptures and garrotes etc.. is there any plater profile you guys like/prefer or did you customize yours to remove a lot of the unnecessary debuffs??
yes

Hmmmm
I'm just waiting for him to update plater with quazi's color scheme.
Will check again after work thank you!
On beta when i rup rup garrote, i instantly was refunded my CP to rup again, why dont i get refunded those cp on live?
they come from a combo of serrated bone spike + indiscriminate carnage
Why wouldnt bleed build work well in 10+?
it does
they really really need to make deathstalker work with ER
better idea
nuke deathstalker and go back to the drawing board

yeah that's the obvious
So whats the thing with hybrid and it getting suggested more and more?
but gotta at least make what there is functional
it tends to be somewhat better when you do content where adds dont die in 0.3seconds
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.
Are you saying you’re vanishing right before DM in your opener, even though you already have imp garrote rolling?
Is there explanation somewhere in the guide that explains difference in playstyle?
playstyle is the same
What is the question?
I am dwarf lol
Literally you do you bro
Whats diff in rotation?
do you feel stuck playing nelf for meld, or have you matured more than i have lol.
I have never played nelf on my rogue and never will
thats impressive.
Ah nice, thought is have to relearn everything
I couldn't care less about meld
That's it really
i am having a real hard time convincing myself it doesnt matter
what is the best current enchant for weapon?
I get restealth every time I want it
lmao
I don't need meld for it
void elf looks better than belf
I haven’t felt the need to play with meld either. Don’t get a chance to restealth? Vanish. Still can’t? Whatever. Just start rupturing.
more hair options
velf hair options are garbage
and cant have gold eyes
important for my transmog
@waxen oyster Goblin FTW
To me Belf has always been superior
Old Arcane Torrent was giga bis
And after they changed it, now it's as shit as every other race
off gcd torrent was S tier
Thus whatever
vulpera cus cute + flips + camp + good animations + i make cringe neckbeards angry by existing while also doing more dmg then all of them

what is the currently best enchant for weapon for assa?
depths
double depths?
Guys with DS, should I open with ambush > garrote > rup and change targets or just garrote and rup the same one for DS procs if I have like a ton of mobs on the screen?
is that better with the current ER bug?
Pre-raid my guess is one of the stat only ones (not Vers) or the Primary/Radiance Damage proc one. But that is pretty much all of them but 3, so useless information
no
literally not taking points is argurably better then 2nd vanish 
Is it really still better to shiv after deathmark with 1 shiv charge? Feels odd to not have the amped part of kingsbane increased instead
(aoe)
Does anyone know of a platter mod that can remove some of our less important dots from targets?
i feel like have 10+ dots/effects is cluttering my screen
just blacklist all effects and then whitelist the ones you want by hand
good advice. I'll try that
requires a bit of work but ends up being a lot more beneficial for other classes aswell since you dont have to deal with clutter ever again
said it wrong actually, you click the manual option under buff tracking
and then add them
not blacklisting by hand since that'd take more time

Why do I feel like fatebound is more fun in m+ then deathstalker ? :S
Thank you for sharing!
I dont think its that its more fun, its just more turn your brain off than ds
I plan to play rogue as alt and how enjoyable is it?
When they take over, remember that 😛
You're asking in a server full of rogue mains 


I leveled up assasin some last night - things just die too fast so hard to see whats happening lmfao
sudden demise is awesome
yes
this is true, you wont see its full potential till m+/raid
give it like a day playing heroics and itll be drilled in
Once you get it down its butter
trash compared to outlaw or sub
maybe i'm doing the rotation totally wrong or it's kinda easy now
Yeahhhh
im thinking about specing into double vanish considering how bugged ER is
uys with DS, should I open with ambush > garrote > rup and change targets or just garrote and rup the same one for DS procs if I have like a ton of mobs on the screen?

yo, one more time, what enchants are people running rn
df ones
on weps
yeah if you are doing DS, then i think double vanish right now is the play, but im no 1%'er
its just a pref since ER is bugged with DS
id wait honestly
I still gotta find a way i don't hate to track dots on my plater
i have millions, i just want enchants lol
oh shit he RICH RICH
im not buying r3 anyway
thats me, when someoen is aoe farming and roll up and throw out my opener and then stand back and watch
stat one (not versatility) or the primary stat/radiance damage proc. The latter is generally 6-10x the cost of the former
yeah i bought radiant for mh and storm for oh
running haste currently, just one stars to have something on blues
see what kind of damage they do
mhmm
I think storms is good for dungeons
but who knows
do we already know the BiS craftable ?
is it bad min max to macro cold blood in to envenom or does it literally not matter
thats where mine is
Is there a pre-season bis list?
Thanks!
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
Well just takes the highest simming build and slaps those on the list
With some variance for stuff like trinkets
it's sim vomit
But everyone's bis is different
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
If you just want a shortcut, it really is just "is the ilvl number higher than my previous"
for now
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.
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
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
gotta get that week 1 normal parse
The game already has that
It's called ilvl
No it hasn't
I'd understand maybe try harding ilvl if there wasn't a hc week, but as it stands it's all meaningless
This shit hasn't changed in 10 years
It's ok, I understand the impulse
you have a decision as to what stats you pick on your gear
I never understood the bis fixation
it hasnt been relevant in 10 years
People are fixated on bis and stats all the time
why else make decisions about gear
When it literally does not work like that
but the reality is that it just doesn't make a difference
Or just ask raidbots
The answer is "not enough info"
What did they introduce in Shadowlands that made stats less relevant?

The latter
Stat dr.
Titanforges
Stat Diminishing Returns indeed
too bad cant do that irl
ask chatGPT!
But yes primary stat being good also plays a big part
Guys with DS, should I open with ambush > garrote > rup and change targets or just garrote and rup the same one for DS procs if I have like a ton of mobs on the screen?
Man i love this trinket, is it good? prob not but its fun watching that cart just randomly ramming shit.
What else have they introduced in particular to our spec that makes stacking stuff like haste worthless?
And where we don't have breakpoints
ideally, you would continue to target the mark target and multidot with a mouseover macro
oh I misunderstood, I don't know if you keep rupturing the same target during IC for DM procs... probably yes?
Or rather, what mechanic makes it so there are no haste breakpoints for our dots?
If i'm starting to learning, do you think is it best to keep garroting the same target and when I'm starting to get comfortable I start using mouseover?
any good trinkets / special items in hc dungeons?
No one?
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.
Mouseover does not matter, it is prefetence. Tabbing to spread more bleeds is worth it at specific target counts like 6 and 8+
I don't know what it's called but sends the rest of the "haste" at the end of the dot
Yes but what is the mechanic behind the ticks no longer benefitting from haste breakpoints?
tyvm]
I think there’s a plater UI (or customize yourself) where prio target is a larger name plate with a different color
They're called partial ticks.
Yeah, that
So you can just tab target and never lose your prio target in the mish mosh of ads
Instead of damage-over-time (DoT) effects like poisons and bleeds having specific breakpoints where they would gain an additional tick at a certain Haste percentage, the game now dynamically adjusts DoT tick rates. This means that rather than adding whole ticks at specific points, the ticks themselves become more frequent, and their damage is proportionally scaled.
Could have sworn breakpoints died several expacs ago
But dynamic tick rates have been in the game. I'm specifically talking about partial ticks.
Is there a time when I should stop spreading rup/garrote? Like a rly big pull, etc.
When you have 20 stacks of agility buff
With IC and Improved Garrote you Garrote and Rupture everything
Without them, you stop garroting and only keep reapplying Rupture for Scent stacks/energy
is ER still bugged?
Yes
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.
I'm honestly not not sure to be fair. I know that they replaced haste breakpoints with partial ticks and dynamic tick rate scaling.
Just so you wouldnt have to gear to x% of hate to achieve x amount of ticks

ohhh, spreading only if I have IG? Ok, Scent stops at 5 targets, right?
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?
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
Just use IC to apply bleeds then find a target with a lot of health and sink envenoms into that.
to spread garrote
At the moment nothing survives long enough for an entire rupture to finish.
things die too fast to have intricate thoughts about priority targets and such imo
just bleed and vibe
shiv if you want if you're playing ap
Yeop
feels bad sometimes when you aren't able to stealth again before the next pull and forced to manually tab target bleed
I mean just use vanish.
what did I do to deserve opening the channel and read "stat dr"
yes they be doin that
lmao
xD
I mean i don't even think its such a massive issue not getting restealthed at this point 😒
everything just dies anyway
Yeah you’re just spreading stuff
it in general isnt an issue
haha feels bad but you're still doing good damage. just a lot of tab targeting 😄
Yeah, they should rename it to Tabical+
I wish there was an addon that would target things near you without bleeds so you can just mindlessly tab rupture/garrote

How can I gain renown level 8 for deeps in the shortest amount of time without putting any effort in -.-
you cant
hint: you dont need to either
Bit fruity innit
doing the quest in the deeps is what I did'
Still have 2pc atm and no helm
I’d never go to the deep (he fucks octopus)
Is deathstalker better or Fate?
what can I do, oxi isnt here as frequently anymore
is one better for Mythic Content or smth

Stalker for both
He’s a married man
Wait a few weeks and you’ll get there
If wifey say no, you listen. :C
Is consuming er marked combo points not counting as max to proc capstone?
Even if you think you win and you are in the rights, you're still wrong and your wife is right. Years of marriage have thought me a thing or two.
😦
Do sojourner of the deeps (all sidequests) and the weekly dungeon quest
Should put u at renown 8
Only took me like 2 hrs for the sidequests
That's a lot of effort :X
You can even do it on a alt you are lvling
and the chest is from hallowfall right
the spider place doesnt give any armor pieces right?
only the trinket from renown
and that trinket is not good for sin

I mean like none of these pieces are good for anything. It’ll all get replaced immediately once real content launches
Oh no you have to play sin on aoe like you had to before IC was made a thing.
Let me play the world’s smallest violin.
yah but going into M+ wouldnt the gear we are grinding now be BiS at that moment?
like renown gear etc etc
not too sure on the schedule
ahh 9/10 m0 opens
For 2 hours into keys
Why are you even doing this
torturing myself
You replace this gear near instantly
is it good to craft 2 590 daggers right away?
Most of the higher end players don’t care about doing that
Don’t subject yourself to things you don’t want to do
Are you calling me a higher end player 🥲
No he’s saying it’s a dumb thing to because it’s not worth the time you’re gonna put into it
lmaoo i know
just a quick question in the assa sims, ai using fan of knives in st, why?
That 0.1% dps got me bricked up.
Read the hero talents
It’s more about the stamina increase
Which doesnt matter
So you aren’t flooring in m0
is it about clear the witnesess?
yes
okey ty
you wont be
To eachs own
if you think 13 ilvls on one item matters
when you’re standing in shit
priorities mixed up
someone has a qeue problem for the hc on silvermoon?
Ok yes the general population sucks
thats from standing in bad
no amount of gear will fix a brain problem
Can anyone please answer this if its a bug or intended?
bug
are we supposed to get smoked by most classes in fast big pulls?
Best embellish for the 593 dagger?
Is the best high m+ assa race nelf or dwarf?
anyone?
No need for 2
Depends on the comp. But bleeds and sudden demise should do some work if you get them out quick
may i ask why? or we can craft 3 now
what 3 is best to craft
2nd hand is not that good
offhand weapon is a stat stick
Better use on another item
okay
wow so we can craft 6 items now
wha twoul u guys suggest
1-weapon
and then?
If you can afford it craft dagger than whatever
doesn't really matter, lowest ilvl slots is a good choice
yup just craft them on other slots than those 3
Head shoulder and legs if i'm not mistaking?
Can I just say that while you can craft items, it's not a huge power gain, you'll replace the items very quickly, and It costs money
Some of this folks are billionaires diving into their pools of gold
y'all use items 😂
I know but I would be remiss if I didn't mention it
Its costs like 5-10k per item
woops mb ty bro
But ye
just started is this a huge let down i i di not?
No
absolutely not
guys what's rog stats priority
Its just min maxing for 1st hm week
It’s just if you enjoy playing the game you get it if not you are just bored farming heroics
you'll drop them eventually on M+ or mythic raid
Do whatever you want
Yes, but if you are unlucky you will get the same item slot from delve 8
I'm just trying to lay out all the info
You'll drop them from m0 and Delve on heroic week
Again, if I were playing the game, I would be crafting
But I just feel like people should know that it's not a big deal
I mostly grinded the renown for prof stuff the veteran gear was just a bonus
I got a message yesterday from someone from reading my guide to asked if they should level a new character because they accidentally sent weathered crests on a bad item
People are being a little irrational
lmao
its not recommended to look at secondaries with the stats priority mind, just sim your options
like that guy in general earlier
what missives should we use for stat?
And if you do craft save you some money and don’t use missives any stats good for sin
At this moment in time
vers crit?
but like best as of the moment
to stack
does anyone have a macro thats basically
if ambush is available, use that
if not, use mutilate
Crit mastery
Yeah haste/crit/mastery are pretty close
game does that automatically with blindside
already built in to the game
Even vers is good to a certain cap imo
no, because thats only from the proc. not from stealth
use the same keybind
if tyou were to pick 2 what would it be
don't think its possible with macros but maybe I'm wrong
I would set aside vers and go for the less that you already have of the 3 mentioned
Just put ambush on mutilate keybind in stealth
Again you'll probably change it anyway in 3-4 weeks so dont think too much abt it
how many crests does making 590 crafteds even save
30
you're saving 15 weathered crests
it takes 45 to get to 590 upgrading, and 30 by crafting
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:0] Mutilate; Ambush
Just fyi don’t hit vanish on wave 20 on the awakening the machine quest or it will bug out
What's the fastest way to level from 61 if I've missed the prepatch event and can't do the new WW campaign until I'm lvl 70?
probably dungeon spam
but questing is probably still fast too, 61-70 is most of where they squished leveling
so its super fast now
Dragonflight quests?
I assume theres no limit on these if non embellished
probably, i havent had to level anything without prepatch or remix
none that i know of yeah
i havent done it yet but probably will this week at some point
unless people try to rob me anyway
am i supposed to open with ambush or garrote if im specced into deathstalker?
ambush otherwise you cant apply the mark without vanish
so i save garrote only when i have vanish?
no ambush and then garrote
omg im stupid i thought garrote can only be used from stealth...
any bis list from hcs for assa ?
Any recommendations for gear after playing the campagne? WQ's, rep or sidequests
or even dungeons
Does anyone know if the quest selection for the call of the world soul quest matters?
they didnt fix echoing reprimand today?
11.2 maybe
it feels terrible having 3 easy envenoms
and not proc the hero talent stuff with them

Doing dungeons last night my offhand time strike bonus effect was still showing about 1% damage single target, and like 0.6% aoe. How much offhand ilevel does it take to be more than that?
Considering how little impact offhand weapon makes, am I going to be using this all expansion? lol
I’m just trying to figure out the rotation.
do these have any significance in raid/mythic+ or is that open world damage abilities only?
the wowhead guide to assassination is good, it's written by a moderator here.
Yeah I’ve been looking at it
It's probably open world stuff.
I’m doing the open world delve build
it looks intimidating at first but its not so bad
What is the most used talent build right now? Albeit I am still leveling to 80.
Is the delve build best for leveling?
I mean bleed is better if things die in less than 2-3 seconds
Which sums up leveling.
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: https://github.com/SimCMinMax/WoW-BugTracker/labels/Rogue
Is it wise to run a keys build while leveling? lol
its fine
Id think raid build is better for leveling than a keys build.
i think i did the keys bleed build

depends how u level
if u only approach 1 mob at a time theres no real need for bleed build
Hey guys thanks for the good work
You're not hitting one target for an extended period of time while leveling.
could someone give me a tallent for rogue as alot of poepole say different stuff
They're all on the wowhead guide
yeah but which one though
They all get explained
thanks man im a noob though hard to decide
Damm that twitch drop mount looks like ass
just like the pre patch mounts
Raid aoe build is almost unnecessary honestly
all it does is swap for spatter on choice node
and i guess sanguine blades vs vicious venoms.
hello again my sneaky stabby friends
I am once again back with more questions
Question in particular
Do we have any confirmation if multiple rogues in a raid group can stack either mind numbing or atrophic poison?
was doing the awakening machine weekly. i vanish to reapply imp garrote against the final boss, and he reset and turned neutral and now i'm bricked and have to start over
!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.
ok still bugged 
And still wayyyy to complicated for a straight DPS class imo.
pure dps class has no impact on complexity
too complicated?
was gonna say i might be biased cus ive played sin since my first ever toon
IC plays multidotting for you.
but its not that complicated

Theres definitely way more to keep track of than most specs
sub feels way more unintuitive to me
Sin on ST is fine, but on aoe is absolutely not an easy spec
ye not easy but not like
complex to the point where it has to be changed or something lol
just hit rupture button
Maybe on longer pulls yes.
Not on shorter pulls either
aoe burst is free as hell with ic now yeah lol
I don't mind multi dotting , but you can't tell me the rotation right now isn't complicated as compared to let's use hunter, warrior, lock, mage, ele...shall I go on?
coming from a BM hunter main, i can ACTUALLY agree with this. I got the grasp of sin fairly quickly (WITH hekili's help, but point still stands)
what does ic stand for?
indiscriminate carnage
Indiscriminate carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage
the part that's unintuitive on sin in AoE is getting the hang of when you should be FoK-ing vs mut-ing
thanks
ice crown
takes some getting used to
Lets you multi garrote/rupture from stealth
Ye so you have to
A. Identify which mobs dont have dots on them and spread bleeds to them
B. Identify a big target thats worth using your CDs on
C. If there is no big target identify if its worth using it on a smaller mobs or better to hold
I’m too slow
this one
Whereas specs like Ret go in and press their buttons
You mut once per 10 in aoe to keep up spatter.
(spec for little babies)
are you trying to teach me this or?
cause i know
but its unintuitive for new players to the spec
Idk if you think assa in aoe is an easy spec you probably havent played many other specs
How
i don't think thats that bad
im currently running left side build for dungs is the bleed build on the right better?
so I find myself (on longer pulls) starving for energy as i do heroic dungeon ques
am I doing something wrong/missing something to help with energy recoup?
Not to mention theres like 5 different builds you can choose from
Not keeping up bleeds
Depending on what you want to do
Not having up bleeds for venomous wounds.
is that really it? Normally I try to keep improved/garrote, rupture AND crimson tempest up when possible
on big pulls*
spreading dots while you have a marked target and your tank doesn't let you restealth
tempest doesnt generate energy on ticks
i at least know the difference between st and aoe
tempest does not affect energy income
👌
You should have plenty if you have garrote and ruptures up
only garrote and rupture
THIS is a big problem, too many xug xug tanks keep chain pulling
because a new player is going to want to spam FoK for maximum cps, but it takes a bit to get used to not doing that
And using FOK for the poisons
Anyone know if the darkmoon decks are any good for assa, if so which one(s)?
noted, i will try to keep these up....MORE than i already have
spreading with deathstalker feels bad too
i mean you do spam fok for cp/poisons on aoe
it is what it is
ye, I have been doing my damndest to like...spred 6-9 garrotes and ruptures on pull, then spread poisons with FoK and Tempest
!restealth
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
tempest is more for the damage it does on aoe
and thats like enough bleeds to have ur energy be fine
i know you know that, im not saying you dont know that. i dont understand why you keep trying to explain how the specs works to me lmao
Like I don't know I never found it that complex
keep garrotes and ruptures up
and ret
Each person is different
i mean it sounds dumb cus its the bleed spec but yeah pretty much 
was it your first ever spec? or even your first rogue spec?
They've simplified spriest on aoe havent they.
Some folks, it takes a while to understand concepts
Windwalker

wod ww
i sure picked something easy to start with
should i try to spred garrotes and ruptures even in ST (in the event i can't restealth to get the IC spread)
ive been an ass girl for many years in raid and dont have enough brain cells to feel good about my ability to use it in aoe
vs outlaw slapping buttons as they light up
Like spriest used to have way more complexity in their multidot on aoe maintenance
iirc
Dead to me
i swear haste is bugged. i just switched out a 515 piece with a 581 with more haste and haste when down 1%
i think if you started with rogue or sin you might feel a little bit different about its diff. everyone is a bit different tho
pretty sure you would still rupture everything in cleave yeah
shhh im gonna give it another try this time around
not just mass aoe
I mean keeping rupture up has been the core of sin
