is there a talent build for fated m+?

weak isle
#

Reload and try again?

#

Could also really be a debuff on target

#

But pretty sure it's a buff since it depends on ur 7cp

jovial verge
#

Out of curiosity when we talk about bleed being better for "low M+" and hybrid (and co) better for high end M+ , what is that roughly referring too?

#

someone just clocking in weekly 10's for vaults, for example

grim jay
#

there is no real low and high on release that much

#

because noone is overgeared

#

abusing deathmark edge case, vanish and cold blood to force a ton of coins in opener can't be intended for Fatebound but it's very fun

viscid python
#

if I only play with one charge of shiv, isn't better to use it when kings bane is 8s remaining, instead after mark of death and before kingsbane?

tawny pawn
#

if i remember correctly sims were using Mark -> KB -> Shiv -> Tea

#

feel free to correct me im not as wise as you guys

slate crown
#

Only one shiv you should be using it at the end of Kb

#

then on cd after that

slate crown
#

lol

tawny pawn
#

Guys were do i get those really cool emblems

#

i wanna be edgy and cool too

hot fulcrum
#

not the latest one but the last one

#

I seem to be pumping a lot harder on sin compared to my ‘supposed’ main of feral… lol

normal mist
#

numbers aren't final, tuning still happening, sin is a bit too strong in dungeons

tawny pawn
#

alright

#

😈

lucid rune
normal mist
#

yeah

lucid rune
#

I still think sin my fav dps of all time, Druid just gives the role diversity I like

proven epoch
#

is anything worth crafting right now?

normal mist
#

I'm saving my spark really, but i'll either craft boots or belt with embelishment

grim jay
#

so things that dont use sparks

proven epoch
#

thought about crafting daggers

dense cloud
#

i crafted daggers

minor swift
#

what profession?

grim jay
#

1 590 dagger is fine

dense cloud
#

cuz those we will probably hold for a while since the daggers from raid will come later in raid. gonna take a little bit to beat it down.

grim jay
#

2 is kinda useless

minor swift
#

sorry, crafting? as a profession or

#

what are u guys talking about heh

dense cloud
#

crafted daggers

#

ye

minor swift
#

as which profession

dense cloud
#

blacksmith

minor swift
#

which profession r the best for rouges atm?

#

ig blacksmith and

grim jay
#

no

#

you dont need to be any specific prof

#

you can just let others craft your stuff, crafting yourself requires investment anyways

#

alchemy is always good for longer flask duration

dense cloud
#

yeah and its not cheap

#

even more so during the early times of an exp

minor swift
#

so basically buy one from AH?

grim jay
#

no, crafting order

grim jay
minor swift
little tulip
#

4.5k for a nascent crest for* the 590 dagger scares me

#

deathstalker is super comfy

grim jay
#

but you also can go the grindy route and upgrade the stuff yourself, will end up slightly lower on ilvl tho

little tulip
#

mostly a cheapass issue i can spend it b

#

ut

minor swift
#

but so is it not profitable to just craft ur own gear

grim jay
#

no

minor swift
#

aswell as "work" on the work order"

grim jay
#

letting someone craft your gear through workorders is what you will end up doing most of the time

#

if you dont plan on doing much crafting in general

#

just getting professions to craft for yourself is a major waste

minor swift
#

ah okay

errant night
#

guys, is 580 ilvl gonna be ok for the season start?

minor swift
#

i have like 300 000 gold idk if thats alot? i never spend it lol

gusty mirage
#

580 should be more than fine

grim jay
grim jay
gusty mirage
#

you're literally a degen

errant night
grim jay
#

but ye 580 is plenty

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

such a degen that Davyn is german for degenerate

minor swift
errant night
#

i've just seen a rogue with a craftable dagger and thought maybe i'm gonna do the same

gusty mirage
#

ye if it aint going to make you go broke and you have the gold, go for it

slate crown
minor swift
#

and the work order gear that we can buy are they BiS? or

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

but all of that shit is gonna get replaced in no time

errant night
#

i have like 70k

grim jay
#

through m+

gusty mirage
#

dumping a ton of gold to get to like 585+ seems kinda pointless unless you're like bleeding edge raiding

minor swift
slate crown
normal mist
#

i made like 20k gold by selling everything i gathered by leveling my alt purely from herbalism/mining from 70 to 72

slate crown
#

Gathering works

gusty mirage

gusty mirage
#

report him

slate crown
#

there's tons you can do to make gold, all depend on what you like doing and what time you have to dedicate to it

errant night
gusty mirage
#

oh then ye you're chilling, just take your time with it

errant night
#

i like raiding normal and heroic. that's all

gusty mirage
#

no reason to rush to a giga high ilvl early

errant night
#

maybe mythic one day

minor swift

#

minor swift

I think you are

#

you're here, so you're already ahead of 90%+ of the wow community

minor swift
#

:o <3

slate crown
gusty mirage
#

🙂

grim jay
#

you can boost m0 world tours

#

for tons of gold

minor swift
#

thanks i appreciate that haha

grim jay
#

at the beginning

#

everyone can boost m0s

gusty mirage
minor swift
#

but is there any gear in the work order that we should buy thats BiS? or just get drops from dungeons lol

grim jay
gusty mirage
minor swift
#

i didnt even know work order existed until 10 minutes ago haha

slate crown
minor swift
#

haha

gusty mirage
#

ye like I can't stand AH flipping

errant night
#

can someone explain this to me? i have two backs but Pawn tells me that crit+vers is better, though practically in every guide it says that crit+master should be better. am i relying on addons too much or i am just dumb?

gusty mirage
#

so I just kinda just boosted

grim jay
grim jay
#

the second one would be to forget about stat weights

minor swift
grim jay
#

and the third would be using topgear

gusty mirage
#

and essentially when you do that you can just run a top gear sim on raidbots.com

grim jay
gusty mirage
slate crown
errant night
#

gosh, the game starts to seem a second work with all these theories and everything haha

gusty mirage
minor swift
grim jay
gusty mirage
#

ngl that mindset is literally 90% of the gearing aspect

grim jay
#

and the more gear you have the less you sim

thick sigil
#

!wa

gusty mirage
#

has bigger ilvl? just equip and move on

#

will solve 90% of any gearing questions most people will have

minor swift

i used to do pvp, "oh i won?" buy new gear

#

guys, am i right that these new "special assignments" are like twice a week? i saw one on the launch day and wonder if it appears tomorrow or on wednesday

grim jay
#

there were like 3 or 4 already

#

iirc

#

dont think it has anything to do with weekly reset

minor swift
#

i see all of my dots fairly well but it would be nicer to have a bigger font on kingsblade so its easier to time shiv when its 8 sec left

#

is there any easy way to fix that

#

or a count down, anything

little tulip
#

plater is really nice

minor swift
#

yeah i got plater

#

i am just not sure how to use it properly haha

little tulip
#

there's umm

#

if you target a dummy and open plater it'll show test debuffs so you can configure it

#

Wait kingsbane 8 seconds left then shiv, Ive been doing it right after I kingsbane

dapper cradle
#

Isn’t that with two charges?

#

I think you shiv pre kingsbane with one charge

#

Or am I cooked

pliant remnant
#

With one charge you use it at the end of KB

So what does the opener look like?

#

Yo thinking of changing to assa from sub.. i only m+ so is it gonna be better?

#

What Darkmoon trink should i get to get some fast ilvls that is also good on rogue?

minor swift
#

what trinkets are BiS for us?

errant night
#

someone told me that

minor swift
#

#

So the echoing blue CP don’t count as ‚full CP‘ for the darkest night?

minor swift
#

i saw in a sim that someone use the skardyns grace?

idk where to find that tho

Is that a ‚bug‘ or should it be like that?

Is DS and ER a bug? Or the intended interaction? Lol

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

#

it stacks an agi buff on you

#

how is that spiked counterweight

little tulip
#

the minute long delay before the egg hatches is about as meme tier as the damage cap on spiked

frail root
#

Why is kingsbane used so late in the rotation? Doesnt the damage stack more with more poison in the enemie?

grim jay
#

you just get the buff

#

what are you saying

lol

noone cares for the hatched eggs

I've noticed that sometimes sudden demise just doesn't proc. Was playing with another assa rogue in rookery and i literally had 0 sudden demise damage when i checked recount after the run.

grim jay

then his proccs

#

and yours doesnt

Makes sense, he was deathstalker and i was fatebound

hay guys is anywhere a prebis gear build for ilvl580 items?

no

(focus on sin rogue)

no its irrelevant either way

the top wr guys in here dont do it either

#

Hey all! Returning player here.. Playing Assasin for Pve and PVP with a focus on PvP.. does the pact I chose matter? Is there a favorite for us? Thanks in advance!

desert cove
#

nope

#

doesn't matter at all

normal mist
#

nope

hushed aspen
#

Perfect tysm

desert cove
#

weaver gets a slight boost if you're doing a lot of professions, but eventually we'll all get all of the pacts

hushed aspen
#

Great - and speaking of.. I've not chose professions yet. I'm assuming LW/JC or something like that? JC still boost some substats for pvp?

normal mist
#

nop

hushed aspen
#

Have plenty of gold on old mains

normal mist
#

not a thing for many years

#

go with whatever pleases you more

#

in my case is LW and BS

#

can't be bothered paying hundreds of gold for crafts

#

so i said to myself:

slate crown
#

If you're just thinking about professions for how you can benefit your power, and don't care about gold or doing crafts

#

Then you can just skip professions

normal mist
slate crown
#

Do them if you want to do them.

#

And any of them are good for many things, nothing really matters for power or long-term strategy unless you're looking to actually make gold in which case it's a whole other conversation/rabbit hole

hushed aspen
#

So nothing benefits substats or stamina or anything like that .. and the crafts I can buy from people who can already craft them.. so to your point I can just not worry

normal mist
#

nop

slate crown
#

but if you're just passively doing them and want to, any of them are good, whatever you want to do and is interesting to you

normal mist
#

yes

hushed aspen
#

great - thank you guys

minor swift
#

does anyoine have a plater that disables all dots etc on target except for ur own as assa rouge

I still have threat plates from prior.. I had to add the spells I wanted to see to the list and just blocked everything else

I just use lisonna's WA package for rogue

grim jay

#

or just make ur own WA's for ur own comfort

#

ive used lisonnas,Whispyrs and now slowly doing my own

#

for me only

#

its not even hard and u dont rly need fancy stuff

grim jay
#

I always modify whispyrs

minor swift
#

my first time really using these things so im getting used to it :p

#

but thnx adding kingsbane like u said really helped

tropic goblet
#

Was hoping i could get some rotation help. I'm currently trying to figure out what i assume to be an easy rotation. However Caustic Splatter is almost never as high as it sims due to the mobs dieing so fast. Is that just an thing when everyone is doing millions of DPS? I've been getting better results with a bleed focused build, but it sims much worse.

rotund oak
#

if the mobs die rly fast u wont do dmg even with bleeds

#

coz they dont tick enough to account for

#

but fyi sin gets more value in higher keys

#

its a bleed spec

grim jay
#

not everything that sims higher is better

#

in your situation

minor swift
#

how worth is it to use valorstones / weathered harbinger crests to upgrade rn

rotund oak
#

if u have any rotational questions we are here for u

#

the 1st ones wont be needed by season launch

might as well use them now

Not to rain on that parade but like

but i think arcane will be nerfed even more

there's still time for a bunch of tuning

orchid cedar
#

don't take HC runs as proof of anything

errant night
#

just a fact nothing more xD

orchid cedar
#

well, we have 3 specs

#

one of them should be playable right?

errant night
#

right

#

like mage or warlock i hear

#

heavy sentinel
#

youll see the diff in dmg when you play with good people

orchid cedar
#

we don't have BL or combat ress tho

#

so we better do dmg

#

or dogshit class

heavy sentinel
#

like the diff between sin and frost is noticable

#

frost dk

orchid cedar
#

frost dk gonna get nerfed tho

heavy sentinel
#

overall nerf is less than 3% of their dmg

orchid cedar
#

ye they should still be on top

heavy sentinel
#

depends on the dungeon as well

errant night
#

am i the only one who thinks that blizz are making all these nerfs for us to level alts and play more? therefore pay more

#

haha

orchid cedar
#

if the class is good in mythic and raid that's fine

heavy sentinel
#

pallys really shine in cinderbrew

spice surge
#

Ye youre the only one

orchid cedar
#

even if it's nto the best

spice surge
#

Theyre doing it to balance the game, like they literally always do

orchid cedar
#

if it is not playable in one of them then iut sucks

#

couse Rogues only do dmg

orchid cedar
#

they don't do it to balance the game

#

if it was for pure balance you can tweak the numbers as you want

#

until everytuhing does exactly the same dps

#

they never do for some reason

spice surge
#

?

heavy sentinel
#

that would be extremely difficult

orchid cedar
#

keeping stuff rotating in the meta is just better for player retention

#

Yes

#

Sure

#

If you're lazy you can

orchid cedar
#

god comps will always happen in M+

static glacier
#

then again that spec has been broken for more than just dps

orchid cedar
#

it's the nature of the format

spice surge
#

Idk people vastly overestimate how important the meta comps are

orchid cedar
#

yes but ppl also follow it

#

there you have the data, when a comp becomes a god comp, nothing else is played

static glacier
#

gl getting invited being off meta, it's honestly a waste of tyime

orchid cedar
#

in high keys

#

just look at DF season 2

static glacier
#

despite the same people playing their mains to title season after season

#

thing is why would people take a gamble on off meta that needs relatively better play for the same result as aug xd

orchid cedar
#

that's the thing, ppl don't wanna get chances

#

which is fine, you won't get rejected from a +10

#

going further is irrelevant really

static glacier
#

yeah weeklies are chill

orchid cedar
#

but it sucks becouse with some classes/specs even finding a +10 takes a while

what should i craft?

spice surge

Its just wild to me that theres a huge amount of people playing this game without a guild or friends

shadow cloud
#

They already have stuff in place that changes your spell/ability damage in pvp, idk why they don't just do that for when you instance into an M+ or Raid

spice surge
#

They do

orchid cedar
#

you change builds

errant night
shadow cloud
#

I've never seen in a patch note "+10% damage (Only in raid)"

orchid cedar
#

they don't have to ruin M+ to balance raid since they can target the specific talents for each content

shadow cloud
#

Until it gets to the point that it's "too good" and it starts getting used in the other form of content that it wasn't intended for

spice surge
unique sentinel
#

!wa

shadow cloud
#

Fair, forgot about healing, which does indeed say in numerous areas that it's either buffed/nerfed in raid groups

orchid cedar
#

they can tweak a lot of things to balance M+ and raid

errant night
orchid cedar
#

they just don't want to

#

not worth the effort

#

if frost DK ends up being perma played in keys for S1

#

it will be fine

shadow cloud
#

Just buff ret paladin again 🤪

orchid cedar
#

for S2 they will nerf it into irrelevance and another class will take the pot

timber basalt
#

Couldn't find this in the guide, but do we force a 7cp envenom to use darkest night if we landed on 5 or 6cp? Or wait until land on 7cp naturally?

shadow cloud
#

Frost dk definitely deserved some of that love, they were pretty underplayed for a while, but not as much love as they got. Hopefully the nerf makes them still hit hard but not be broken as shit

orchid cedar
#

considering how the class plays

#

being mid should be enough for FDK

#

but that's another discussion

Hey guys, I'm playing rogue the first time this xpac. I've gone through the guides on wowhead and icyveins and have done only 3 heroics...I'm still practicing the rotations, but my question is for raiding in mythics, which of the 3 builds should i really be learning? I feel like hybrid is good for heroics but when raids and mythics start it seems like i'll be playing more of the single target/raid aoe builds with shivs being a bigger part of the rotation

spice surge
#

Heroic dungeons die too fast for anything but bleed to be good

orchid cedar
#

hybrid is for M+ in fact

#

and ST build for raid

!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

I have a question about talents. All the guides say I should take both the Stratagems from both trees, which means I have 7 max combo points. But the tooltips of my finishers only has the value of 6 combo points. (I tried on Sub and there is numbers for 7 but it's not the same for assass) So is it a tooltip bug or is 6 the max we can have? If that the case can I just take one of the Stratagem?

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.

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.

(Generally the icyveins and wowhewd rotation lists the aoe prio list so u can see it there)

#

Other than when you come out of stealth and the bleeds spread should I be spreading beyond that on big pulls

#

I’ve been looking at wowhead

dusk sun
#

I try to spread garrote as much as possible before going in to big cds, for rupture im fine with just having it on 3 on them (but that is likely a me problem and not maximizing)

I know we say "maintain garrote on the main target in aoe" but what about 2 or 3 target cleave? Do we want to use garrote on the non caustic target as well there or just rupture on the second / third target?

spare nimbus
#

How do you use vanish as assassin?

#

When ruptures running out?

iron valve
#

on single target: to get an improved garrote for deathmark
on multitarget: to refresh IC and spread ruptures and garrotes

spare nimbus
#

alright cheers, when IC is enough to spread rupture garrotes to everything i guess u just vanish when theyre running out?

ruby moss
#

depends on the hp of the mobs

#

like your not gonna blow vanish if theyre almost dead

spare nimbus
#

ye ofc

#

Feels like re-rupturing is a pain without vanish as it only applies to 1 target outside IC

keen spruce
#

you're normally going to use vanish with deathmark

#

even in AoE

#

unless you already have an imp garrote

#

keeping them sync'd up is way easier for most people

#

but you can use vanish to spread bleeds outside of CDs as long as you can get them sync'd back up for bosses and prio mobs n what not

spare nimbus
#

Hmmm, alright, thanks

keen spruce
#

and yeah manually rupturing outside of IC is a pain

#

but it iz what it iz squishykek

#

depending on the pull you can just keep like 3-5 ruptures out

spare nimbus

How should overall dmg breakdown look like in M+?

since we're not running arterial right now, do we save shiv for darkest night envenom timing?

or maybe Radiant Power for primary stat?

# lapis epoch could someone kind enough plz explain the optimal usage for echoing reprimand an...

1)Echoing reprimand(ER) now that it doesnt interact with darkest night(DN-deathstalker's final capstone),it doesnt trigger it in short,is used on cd and we press it is as early as possible into our rotation(because it generates cps we use to normally refresh slice and dice after our opener).
2)SbS(serrated bonespike) is just passive dmg that gives cps in return,its a generally very good thing to have,there is no downside.You can spec out of it if u want but as a passive is generally very very good.

to make things easier you can ambush > garrote > rupture > rupture > garrote > fok > ct off the same mob and you'll have 5 targets with rupture/garrote and not need to worry about switching targets

HEY BOYS (:
two questions:

  1. do i spam envenom with cds and out of cds (KB and DM) i chain it?
  2. do you use the ambush procs of deathstalker even in AOE? 🙂
#

ty

#

love

rotund oak
#

1)U wanna spam as many finishers as humanly possible during ur cds and u wanna practice pooling while outside of them.There is a general guide/vid whispyr made explaining everything
2)Deathstalker doesnt play with blindside,should check the guide for an optimal build 🙂

#

but if u are still wanna play with it

#

there is nothing u can really do,blindside replaces mutilate anyway

#

u just press it

#

or u can ignore if there are 3+ targets which makes pressing fok ur main builder

wait but according to the wowhead guide you play blindside in raid
