it gets cleared on purpose

#

I've experienced this, it's frustrating when combat is chained and can't stealth for an ambush

feral mason
#

@balmy condor interesting one to add to bug list maybe

crude nymph
#

I'm confused, what's the correct opener?

#

do I need to be in stealth ?

fair stirrup
#

its psychology bud. there's damn near empirical research on it

#

oh boy more bugs

bro using stats to gain rizz

"don't do things that are documented to work by other people, that are respectful, wholesome, non-intrusive" got it. this is not rogue stuff tho so i'll lay off it

do women like pink parses? pink is usually a woman's favorite color right

if i can record the random mark disappearing thing as well, and know its not just me being delusional

that'd be nice

wtf outlaw siming that high?

feral mason
#

computer kinda cracked

runic basin
#

so not correct?

feral mason
#

i mean its still quite accurate

#

other classes catch up tho

lapis bramble
#

is Fok used on cleave or just 3+

feral mason
#

bad stat scaling and all that

silk bane
# runic basin so not correct?

it is correct, and it does do that much. but outlaw suffers a lot from mechanics and downtime, making it not be able to actually keep the uptime required for that dps

severe sparrow
#

now that everyone has short arms i cba with outlaw

#

i wasnt good at positioning for good dps before

# runic basin so not correct?

People will tell you "it's correct" then it never shows this performance in logs ever even on pure ST fights like terros

#

Tbh always outlaw oversim compared to real world

runic basin
dark token
#

Like every tier I've ever played outlaw is top simming road spec by 5% or whatever

#

And in reality it's 3% behind assa

runic basin
feral mason
#

it utilizes burst windows way better than outlaw + scales somewhat better

#

it balances itself out eventually

waxen oyster
#

I do feel people playing this in hc dungeons often

#

dont utilize ct and spatter in big pulls enough

#

then wonder why their damage is mid

feral mason
#

idk maybe ive become too elitist but like

waxen oyster
#

i've gapped non guildies in every hc dungeon i've done this launch so far

feral mason
#

always wonder how people enjoy playing higher dungeons / keys without knowing what their class does

waxen oyster
#

I think people expect to play every pull like wowhead says to

feral mason
#

even that

waxen oyster
#

and freak out if it goes offscript

feral mason
#

as an experiment I did every pack with whispyr opener in heroic dungeons

#

(minus the cd part)

#

and still did 1.2m overall

#

just follow exact instructions or something idk

gusty stag
#

Pops all cds
Tank keeps running with pull

spice spire
#

You run with

blink forward and pull with evasion so tank panics and doesnt pull more

We’re melee

It’s free

all cds you mean deathmark?

😄

#

Yes dat

#

and slice n dice

Am I the only one doing bad damage on assasination now adays?

#

Both builds are good

Well tbf you gotta consider assa is better on longer fights

unless you have nothing to spatter off of

narrow basalt

Many classes is very bursty... so right now it looks like assa is lacking, wait for m+

#

Hybrid is the only true build right now.

waxen oyster
#

i mean doesnt matter if it dies as you get ct out

#

sd exists

feral mason
#

huh?

hardy venture
#

I open with Garrote > Rupture as many times as I can > Fan > Tempest > Mutilate > Fan > Spam Envenom on the highest health target. There is normally 1 target in the entire room that the tank pulls that has a shit ton more HP than others

feral mason
#

oh hybrid is this build now

#

names changed or smth

narrow basalt

#

Powerless is much said

waxen oyster

Damage is aight, just nothing compared to the other classes I play.

Don't overthink it and i think you prolly panic and spam fan of knives + tempest?

Like I said, I have been playing assassination and done good damge for a while. Just now I am struggling..

feral mason

I see. Im not far off then.

oh yeah envenom as poopstalker

yall fatebound goobers wouldnt understand how good it feels to send DN envenom

Hello guys. Wanted to ask something. I'm kinda new to the rogue class and I'd like to know if WoWHead or IcyVeins (btw which guide is better) guide is going to cover all the neccessary questions regarding Raids (lfr, normal and heroic, don't want mythic) and Delves? Sorry if there were a hundred similar question, I'm kinda new to Discord too haha

#

and sorry for my English, I'm from a non-english-speaking country

#

what is the difference btween DS and FB ?

errant night
#

From what I've seen

gusty stag
#

FB is a bit more clunky i feel.. It's a little rng but not too much, sometimes you deal subpar, other times you deal more 🙂

#

Deathstalker is more plannable

#

Although DS is my favourite FB is quite cool, if you see your coins staking can use CB to try and get to the 7th flip nice little mini game there

bleak stone
#

ok, and spec tree will change if i decide to go with FB ?

royal lantern
#

you use CB on CD

#

the only moment where you dont use CB on CD is on pull, and even that is some giga minmax shit

It was gone for a while was it not?

is there a build for FB i can find anywhere?

gray hazel

is there any reason why we would use the cursed ring enchant over the radiant one? Seems like a net loss in stats

Not for sin

nice 😄

gusty stag
#

Nah sin off stats sim pretty much identical

gray hazel
#

dope, thanks!

gusty stag
#

so cursed no good its better for classes who has a off stat that is useless.

gray hazel
#

Yeah i figured we just want more stats no matter what

waxen oyster
#

It's an intersting premise for specs that like one stat

Then watch raid testing

#

What is it exactly?

floral solstice
#

Where can we find the current sims for all specs ?

errant night
#

And where do I find it

waxen oyster
#

People have already recorded footage of beta testing of bosses;

spice spire
#

Like if x is happening should I do y or z

#

Or like

#

Finishing rules and stuff

#

That’s a very generic and overlapping term on that and want to make sure the resource you want exists

candid wind
#

is ambush supose to proc outside of stealth or how does that work? vanish ambush?

spice spire
#

Outside of that vanish ambush, but darkest night should help with reapplication

#

But it’s pretty hecking bugged

candid wind
#

got a talent for it? or is it bugged cant find it

errant night
waxen oyster
#

That's literally going to vary boss by boss.

spice spire
#

On a fundamental level of how do I deal damage

#

Or you want a mechanic guide for things?

errant night
#

How do I act, what buttons do I push

#

etc etc

spice spire
#

I feel like that would have been covered

#

Like spreading bleeds

#

fok

#

Ct etc

candid wind
spice spire
#

Open with ambush

faint path
#

Should we craft 2x 590 dagger? with weathered

spice spire
#

And then dn is supposed to reapply on final consumption of stacks with envenom

candid wind
waxen oyster
#

im like pretty sure the guide goes over the rotation

drifting cloud
#

hello makeitquake, what does dn stand for

faint path
#

Should we craft 2x 590 dagger? with weathereds we wont need that so much anyway

errant night
#

It's too specific. You know there are different guides (on yt) explaining how to play for example mage. They explain everything (not just build and rotation), but I found nothing regarding rogue

#

in TWW ofc

What specifically do you want to know?

Under "basic knowledge"

errant night
# waxen oyster It's literally the first section of his video

Sorry, I don't want to bother anyone and be annoying, but he didn't explain how to AOE afaik. And many other things I'd like to know as a beginner. I know that there is a complete guide on wowhead but I'd also like to see it with my eyes how everything goes and plays

waxen oyster
#

You aren't really sustained aoeing in raid

#

There's an m+ guide more suited for that.

acoustic roost
#

tbh the best way, is to go out and play. hit a dummy for a bit. log it. etc

errant night
#

That's why I ask this question 🙂
Like there are different situations and I'd like to know how to deal with the,

#

them*

waxen oyster
#

Yeah I mean the point of a guide

#

is to explain how the spec mechanics work

#

Guys is it make sense crafting 590s items with Weathered?

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.

#

nelf does nothing in raid

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

One more question i have is about the AoE rotation for the Hybrid build 4. Step Maintain Rupture on up to 5 targets for Scent of Blood. Is this an iron rule? It gives me 10% agility and generated a lot of Energy, but right now its very hard/annoying to maintain while doing heroic dungeons where everything dies fast. I keep hunting for a main target that will survive and changing targets constantly and having to back to main target to proc Caustic is also annoying. Sorry for the yap

west willow
#

as for the 'iron rule', you will have a pretty terrible time maintaining bleeds in heroics right now, and this isnt a key where your dps will affect the outcome so

obviously, when you're in your opener, you can get them up super easily etc

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

yah but if you get crests from rares or quests etc they did not add on to your cap

#

idk if you can still od that

#

do*

#

rings are currently r4. Idk what the JC needs to do to make it r5

gusty stag
#

what did you pay to craft rings?

uneven plume
#

like in commission?

gusty stag
#

nah like total cost

#

30 crests ofc

rich kayak
#

Hey guys, is there a bug with deathmark? I go into a boss fight off of a mob pack and have the original buff from ambush and then the max combo finsher buff, if i use max combos and consume deathmark it doesn't reapply it.

uneven plume
#

60 crests

#

for both

#

like

#

20k gold in mats

#

and like 5k commission

#

i have r2 missive on them

#

r3 costs like 100kg

#

f that

uneven plume
urban heart
#

so we wait with the spark?

uneven plume
#

just the mats again and commission?

gusty stag
uneven plume
#

so basically commission gold

gusty stag
#

T5 is hard, you need to be able to craft t4 clean with no concentration, then use that to bump to t5

#

Which will cost you

#

since its like a full 2 day of concentration

uneven plume
#

people probably gonna charge me an arm and a leg

#

might aswell just keep em at 586

gusty stag
#

not worth going for 590

uneven plume
#

gonna get replaced anyways

gusty stag
#

yeah

#

all of it is placeholder.. tbh ilvl 580+ is useless cause its not like it will give you a headstart

#

if you have 585 or 580 wont really matter for m+ you gotta grind the keys up anyway

uneven plume
#

yah, just for now to kill time and practice dungeons

#

and not do tank dps

#

plus i think raid opens earlier than m0 right?

#

at least normal raid

mild phoenix
#

same day

uneven plume
#

m0 drops loot per boss or at the end?

#

like m+

mild phoenix
#

per boss iirc, could be wrong

gusty stag
#

Like look at this.. i am ilvl 574, but i can barely get any upgrades.. we talking less than 1% even 0.1% mostly.

uneven plume
#

think its crafted gear and renown gear that give upgrades atr that point

#

up to you if you wanna try hard

cobalt sphinx
#

Spend some crests dawg

uneven plume
#

in preseason

cobalt sphinx
#

Or renown

gusty stag
#

Yeah but crafted gear will top out at 586 atm

#

crests into heroic items > 593

mild phoenix
#

590 but yeh

#

theres not a lot going on rn

#

lol

junior aurora
#

!macros

south citrus
#

so its not worth going past 580?

junior aurora
#

worth a shot

gusty stag
#

590 is costly to craft in terms of concentration and gold tho

mild phoenix
#

right but that is crafted cap

gusty stag
#

It's def not "worth" going past 580

south citrus
#

bet

gusty stag
#

Only if you're bored

mild phoenix
gusty stag
#

Weapons + Trinkets go full out 593

mild phoenix
#

up to, only costs valor stones

gusty stag
#

rest to 480

cobalt sphinx
#

The weathered crests are dog anyway you might as well use them

gusty stag
#

580*

visual prairie
#

but they're crests that have no purpose other than upgrading this crappy preseason gear

#

so use them

south citrus
#

gotchaa

cobalt sphinx
#

Keep your delve keys though

gusty stag
#

Put crests into weapons, trinkets and possibly like chest, rings & neck.

this is the mythic keystone ones

yeah, i'm not spending those yet. m0 items will need those

and i'd regret not being able to upgrade a weapon becuase i boosted a veteran chest

gusty stag

Im 99999% sure you will get capped

clear nexus

#

that's my point, there's a cap

gusty stag
#

no you misunderstand

#

once season begins

clear nexus
#

me currently ,593 chest, 593 weapon, 503 trinket

gusty stag
#

the 105 will count towards your season cap, if you save them.

clear nexus
#

wait

gusty stag
#

Cause the event drops is repeatable

clear nexus
#

im 10/180 season cap

gusty stag

Which means crests would be endless once season starts

clear nexus

have total 105

#

at season start

#

i get 115/180

cobalt sphinx

i highly doubt it

gusty stag

They did that in dragonflight

what's he saying

show ur currency tab

#

anyone know what our 2nd best weapon enchant is

cobalt sphinx
#

he's saying that existing crests that are supposed to ignore the cap will contribute to the cap on season start

gusty stag
#

Technically you could get into season 1 mythic+ with like 1000 crests

iron carbon

!macro

gusty stag
#

and just upgrade everything fully week 1

Im 100% sure they won't allow that..

you can see why ill try to explain

"These Crests ignore the seasonal cap"

Someone can tell if it's okay to just macro CB on envenom and forget about it?

so he's saying that blizzard will contradict this wording

and apply the cap to these crests anyway

So the carved ones

You will only be able to upgrade m+ items once

Yeah carved only drop from weeklies rn don't they.

gusty stag

one level

cobalt sphinx
waxen oyster

Since all those other content forms aren't out yet

cobalt sphinx

rather save them for champ items than burn them on vet

gusty stag
#

Already from mythic +3 you cannot use carved harbringer crests anymore

#

But they are suppose to be used for vet/crossover for champ

distant plinth

You cannot upgrade champion items more than level 1 according to data

you are not carved

they will tell you sub so you will play sub

No reason to save them

you're correc

in that statement

visual prairie

606 is as high as they will get it, but you can use them on gear that goes HIGHER than 606 if you wait

cobalt sphinx
#

you can upgrade a champ item to 606 and then further upgrade it with runed crests

visual prairie
#

that chest doesn't got higher than 606

cobalt sphinx
#

but vet items are hard capped at 606

waxen oyster

Wait why are you playing zandalari if competitiveness matters

gusty stag

But... you wont need to upgrade your chest before you find a chest thats higher than 606

@visual prairie I just don't think you will get full mythic gear week 1, atleast personally for me that will never happen. so I won't be "crestlocked" from getting my gear higher than 606.. I wont get full 606+ week 1 and chest will def not be main focus, so i thought i'd get started on that.. Also every tryharder has it 606 (top guilds) for raids atleast 😛

Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on envenom

  • For Fatebound, sanguine blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
  • For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play vicious venoms instead of sanguine blades as well.

The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.

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.
