if you don't pool you can't have it for kingsbane

spice surge
#

Shiv is good Surebud

limber lion
#

Alrighr

spice surge
#

You can tea

limber lion
#

Sim currently sends KB with 0 energy

spice surge
#

It gives you 100 energy

fiery mauve
limber lion
#

Bad sim I guess

raven panther
#

so you ahd to pool just before

limber lion
#

A bunch of theorycrafters tested pooling logic a million times

raven panther
#

you are dumb af, np

limber lion
#

But nope

fiery mauve
#

alright someone log check the paladin pfp

limber lion
#

There is 0 pooling

raven panther
#

the sim literally send a 7cp evenom

limber lion
#

There is no pooling variable for KB

raven panther
#

before and during with a shiv during and before

limber lion
#

It does because that's the condition

#

Yes

tawny pawn
# limber lion Bad sim I guess

im back, whenever you preparing to do the reopeners you want to make sure you have high energy so you might want to wait more then just enough to use next skill, so no 10 seconds is not that much of a stretch

limber lion
#

You Envenom and Shiv

#

But yoy do not pool for it

#

It jist happens naturally by you playing the spec and generating cp and usinh finishers

#

That's how the spec works

haughty flicker
#

Watching new people tell cev he doesn’t know what he’s talking about will never not be funny

cunning needle
#

when did cev become not green name

tawny pawn
#

no?

cunning needle
#

i swear cev was green before

haughty flicker
#

Retired

fiery mauve

Got oldge

acoustic roost

cev went casual

sharp viper
#

i think someone else already made that one

tawny pawn
#

do you use skills whenever you have enough energy for it?

acoustic roost
#

T_T

limber lion
cunning needle
tawny pawn
#

like when you have ur reopener coming and you have 50 energy you just mutilate?

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.

limber lion
#

If yoy have to Mutilate, yoy mutilate

tawny pawn
#

thats crazy i wouldnt

limber lion
#

Doesn't matter if it's at 50 energy or 200

#

Yoy will end up mutilating regardless

#

What does it do that yoy Mutilate 5s later?

#

Tell me

tawny pawn
#

yes but you want to burn stuff in the window

flint gulch
#

note self trying to practice assa with 3 hours of sleep doesent works maybe i practice ele shammy and fdk today im getting

tawny pawn
#

is more important than uptime

limber lion
#

Brother

normal mist
cunning needle
#

"retired"

tawny pawn
#

im being genuine with you

cunning needle
#

bro does not sound retired

tawny pawn
#

not capping

limber lion
spice surge
#

He isnt saying "dont cast spells during shiv"

limber lion
#

Alright, let's hear it

fiery mauve
#

Oh nk

#

He's locked in

cunning needle
#

oh dear

#

no

#

get out

spice surge
#

He is saying you dont need 200+ energy to cast kingsbane

cunning needle
#

you got out

spice surge
#

You dont hold energy for it

limber lion
#

You CANNOT start your Kingsbane window without using Envenom first

tawny pawn
#

i never say you needed

spice surge
#

Because you can cast spells anyway since you have tea

tawny pawn
#

you need high energy

limber lion
#

So why would you sit at 0CP waiting for energy

#

When you need to get to 5CP to use Envenom to start the burst anyways?

fiery mauve
limber lion
#

Exactly, you don't

low ferry
#

so i can say im pooling 😉

limber lion
#

It does not matter if you Mutilate now or 15s later

#

Because you WILL have to Mutilate regardless

#

To get to 5CP

#

To cast Envenom

#

To start the burst window

junior yoke
#

I just want to play fatebound

fiery mauve
#

Good news, you can

limber lion
#

If you're at 0CP when your cooldowns are ready, you spend 4s getting to 5CP, using Envenom and Shiv

#

Compared to being at 5CP, using Envenom when KB is at 2s and Shiv at 1

#

And instantly using KB

tawny pawn
#

im notting

#

keep going

junior yoke
tawny pawn
#

i see i might be learning stuff here

#

ill try it out

fringe oxide
#

Yo does anyone just not get any marks?

limber lion
#

There is NEVER a reason to pool on less than 5 CP

fringe oxide
#

I haven't'gotten one since release

limber lion
#

You can pool a bit, but you always do it sitting on 5CP or more

junior yoke
limber lion
#

Pooling on 4CP is very situational if you know Garrote is coming up and you will reapply it before you hit energy cap or before cooldowns come up

#

So you can garrote to 5cp followed by an Envenom

fringe oxide
limber lion
#

But again, you do not just afk 10s before a Kingsbane window

#

That is just a misplay

junior yoke
limber lion
#

(or rather everyone around me)

#

Are you in stealth and did you open with Ambush?

fringe oxide
junior yoke
#

Maybe ur account is bugged. Share qith me password

normal mist
#

Are you pressing ambush in stealth?

junior yoke
limber lion
#

It's a debuff

fringe oxide
#

ah

limber lion
#

Not a damaging ability

normal mist
#

Ok Cev is faster than me, you go Cev!

native nimbus
#

Ok, i've mirroed exactly what you have in your screenshot, now EVERYTHING is appearing above nameplate. Is there another setting somewhere that needs to be toggled?

fringe oxide
#

I will check it in the current dungeon

limber lion
#

It appears in the damage (much lower than any of those abilities) portion after you consume the mark

#

But not with application

#

Like you're gonna have to press shift to see all abilities

fringe oxide
normal lotus
junior yoke
#

Weird

#

Did u “apply” 😂😂

#

In the talents

native nimbus
limber lion
fringe oxide
limber lion
junior yoke
#

Mmm….

fringe oxide
limber lion
junior yoke
#

Fuck that’s weird

limber lion
#

In damage done

spice surge
#

You have to cast ambush for it initially

limber lion
#

I'm not seeing a single ambush cast yet

normal mist
#

Just clip an ambush cast

limber lion
#

No not needed

junior yoke
limber lion
#

Just need a details that literally says "ambush"

#

We have not seen that yet

tawny pawn
#

LOL

junior yoke
#

U’re right

#

Man

cunning needle
#

my guy

limber lion
#

Like just look at the details

cunning needle

youre retired

PPC

limber lion

It would definitely be there

tawny pawn

NO WAY

you dont need to do this anymore

you are free

fringe oxide

Yo I will post a clippy

junior yoke
limber lion
fringe oxide
#

Of me on the dummies

cunning needle
#

🤣

limber lion
#

Sure let's see you hit that mutilate

#

Instead of Ambush

#

I'm ready

junior yoke
#

Haggagagagahahahahah

limber lion
junior yoke
#

Pls stop

autumn frost
#

Is ambush resetting your enhanced garotte cd duration?

upbeat ivy
#

Guys how off is fatebound assa

limber lion
#

No

limber lion
normal mist
#

I legit can't type

autumn frost
#

i'm confused what is going on tbh

limber lion
#

It's 2-5%

#

!hero

prisma monolithBOT
#

Both Hero Talents are viable in all content, and are within 2-5% of each other.
Fatebound: Instant damage, is easy to play, can remove some buttons from the rotation, little to no added gameplay
Deathstalker: Introduces gameplay, Singular focus adds big priority damage, suffers from bugs and marks being hard to juggle in easy content like heroic/m0 dungeons

limber lion
#

Me either apparently

tawny pawn
#

not ambushing is worse then have it in the same bind as mutilate

fringe oxide
#

Wait

normal mist
#

Cev is stealing all my kills

cunning needle
#

ceve is roasting

limber lion
#

Man doesn't have ambush bound

fringe oxide
#

I had an old macro

#

Cev

limber lion
#

Yeah

fringe oxide
#

I am so sorry

limber lion
#

:)

#

Man's been mutilating the entire expansion

cunning needle
limber lion
#

It's okay

upbeat ivy
#

maybe fatebound better for hc cause everything dies insta

tawny pawn
#

i dont even feel like putting ambush in same bind as mutilate is that punishing for assa

limber lion
#

We caught it before the raid opened up

fringe oxide
#

We will never speak of this again

tawny pawn
#

is it?

limber lion
#

We're chilling

fringe oxide
#

Nobody has ever seen this

normal lotus
#

so fat fingering a garrote instead of ambush on your opener is like the death of your dps?

fringe oxide
cunning needle
#

we saw nothing

fringe oxide
#

Thanks for helping

limber lion
#

No worries, have fun with it

normal mist
#

We legit see nothing

#

You're fine

spice surge
#

But if you dont have vanish up its quite a loss yes

fringe oxide
#

kissies and huggies all

fringe oxide
#

love you very plenty

cunning needle
#

you think anyone in this discord here can read anyway?

limber lion
#

Npnp

tawny pawn
#

or am i doing something wrong

upbeat ivy
limber lion
#

But if you literally don't have Ambush bound in stealth, it is a problem

tawny pawn
#

yeah i just wanted to know if i was doing something wrong cause of some weird interaction/snapshoting

limber lion
#

I have Ambush as a seperate bind, but I also have it on my Mutilate/Ambush macro

#

Yeah no weird interactions or snapshots here

#

Snapshots are dead

normal lotus
tawny pawn
#

ye i remember it was annoying last few seasons

limber lion
#

But if you're using a Mutilate-macro it does not

junior yoke
normal lotus
#

ahhhh gotcha

limber lion
#

And some people were using mutilate-only macros in the past

junior yoke
#

I’m dying

tawny pawn
#

when oyu lose the buff mid ambush

junior yoke
#

Go play fate

tawny pawn
#

and it would make you lose a cast

junior yoke
#

Rly

#

Got trolled by the details detail about no ambush

tawny pawn
#

guys its a fair mistake cmon

#

its just funny as fuck

#

WHY AM I GETTING NO MARK?

cunning needle
#

it was very hilarious

#

compounded on the fact that the expansion is like 11 days old as well

fringe oxide
#

what a game

cunning needle
fringe oxide
#

Love you all again!

limber lion
#

Damn it's pretty sick right

cunning needle

past forum

See this is what happens to all you fancy macro users, keybind havers, and click casters. Real gigachads /cast everything

snow glade
#

Hey guys, i think its very clear at the pinned message, but i see a lot of people investing the spark on boots. Is that the right way?

upbeat ivy
#

is there a macro to garrote all targets ?:D

cunning needle
tawny pawn

#

!wa

limber lion
#

There's no rush

sour kernel
#

hmm when do i cast first mutilate exactly?

limber lion
#

The pin is correct and up to date

limber lion
bleak plume
#

does fatebound coin splash with caustic?

limber lion
#

In ST or AoE?

limber lion
sour kernel
#

this one is like after reprimand snd n stuff

tawny pawn
#

ok so another question then, what is the deal with envenom should i just sent it with 5 cbs? should i go for 7? only in DN?

limber lion
#

In AoE you only use Mutilate to maintain Spatter

sour kernel
limber lion
#

And that's it

sour kernel
#

this one after first tempest

limber lion
#

Well, no

sour kernel

bleeds then CS

upbeat ivy

#

Am I wild for thinking that ambush used to auto change from multilate before? I lowkey dont want to ask anymore questions because it seems like I have been playing this game for the first time

limber lion
#

It still does

iron valve
normal lotus
limber lion
#

That's the change that was added with 10.2 or whatever

#

Like if you get a Blindside proc, your Mutilate changes to Ambush

#

If you have Mutilate bound on your stealth bar, it will turn to Ambush when you go into stealth

sour kernel
tawny pawn
#

ok so my energy/cb management was bad, and rogue was busted

#

cause i was going for 7 cbs sometimes

limber lion
#

Yeah never do that

tawny pawn
#

unecessarily

limber lion
#

Just chill at 5 always

snow glade
#

@limber lion What should be your currently best go-to itemization for season start? I am not sure if its the correct place to talk about it, sorry if so

limber lion
#

7CP to apply mark again

#

And then chilling at 5 again

limber lion
#

Just working their way up

gray horizon
#

Literally doesnt even matter once season starts

tawny pawn
#

i think maxing ur gear spamming heroics should be good enough.

limber lion
#

There's new crests just for this week that you can use and spam away without worry

#

And then ilvls will jump up again when raid releases

snow glade
#

My only worries are the bad investment of crest on non optimal items for Rogue

whole sand
#

the crests are meaningless

limber lion
#

You can spam weathered crests

#

They are useless next week

#

Or rather when the season starts

#

Don't be afraid of using them

tawny pawn
#

you can go further with reputations but, it will be very diminish returns for time investment since you will trade ur gear the next tuesday

acoustic roost
#

save your bountiful coffer keys for when delves open up to +8. should have 12 or more for the first week of the season

tawny pawn
#

12? DAM

#

i have 3

spice surge
#

I mean pretty much nothing you do right now has a big impact on your gearing

tawny pawn
#

4*

spice surge
#

Since you can just run more m+ when mythic is released

acoustic roost
#

4 this week, 4 next week, 4 the week of the season

tawny pawn
#

i see LiG

spice surge
#

To replace everything youve done these early weeks

fringe oxide
fringe oxide
#

I just never looked back again

#

Not checking the macro or anything

limber lion
#

Well could be you played with or without a stealth bar back then and now it's changed

#

But yeah, it's been changing for a long time

#

Previously we kinda had no use for Ambush

tawny pawn
#

the funny part is Stix is a very well known name on my server for playing rogue and i though you were him for couple seconds hard questioning myself

limber lion
#

After Improved Ambush was nerfed and we started playing Tight Spenders

snow glade
#

Can i share my plater here guys? I made something custom the health bars recolours depending on the dots the target has

#

Maybe should be useful

fringe oxide
#

I just want to mention that the game just works!

#

Fantastic feeling

limber lion
#

We already have a bunch of platers here:

#

!wa

limber lion
#

But spamming/advertising it not so much

snow glade
#

It could be just to try to be helpful because you guys help me

limber lion
#

Go for it

tawny pawn
#

i would put that deathmark/DN WA on the bot tho

#

so useful.

#

It made my life so much easier and its so simple

snow glade
#

I have been working on this plater, just to try to make icons appear depending on dots missing

#

But the game just stutters with that much processing

limber lion
tawny pawn
#

i dont use was im cursed

#

FOR THAT

worldly sail
#

i was about to say

tawny pawn
#

sorry

#

mb

#

still need to config my plater

snow glade
#

There is the plater. Please consider its on early stage, its a personal customization of an existant plater profile

celest helm
#

Iv seen a few people say sub is performing better on raid testing than assa, not concerned with it much but Im curious where people are seeing the info. Can someone link me the logs or sims comparing?

tawny pawn
#

Sub is performing a lil better for now from my tests

whole sand
#

damage numbers in the year of our lord

tawny pawn
#

my assa feels way more confortable

spice surge
#

Any log from that time is completely irrelevant

celest helm
acoustic roost
celest helm
#

Exactly, okay so im not insane lol

limber lion
#

But I grew up

#

Would recommend using proper weakauras

#

Especially on a class like Assa Rogue

#

Where they're pretty much essential

worldly sail
#

i was using action bars as weakauras for 4 years, finally made my own WA UI during prepatch now kekman

fringe oxide
#

Yo another question! What do I do if the tank keeps pulling i wait patiently and I get aoe damaged out of stealth before getting to apply my mark for deathstalker?

tawny pawn
#

well at least i have everything binded and memorized

#

i think that is the most important thing

#

you need to do to improve gameplay

acoustic roost
tawny pawn
#

ill try to adapt to WA's

slate crown
#

FFXIV

#

Not that it really matters in that game though there's not much reactivity

limber lion
#

Even if tank pulls a pack, does not mean that you have to engage the pack as well

#

You can just finish the previous pack and then stealth

#

There's not really too much benefit of just sitting in stealth either

fringe oxide
#

I see! This tank likes to chainpull low health mobs into the next pack though

limber lion
#

Once the tank pulls, you should just engage if you're stealthed

fringe oxide
#

And I got caught with my stealth down

#

aoe damaged out of it

limber lion
#

And should be done to speed up the dungeon

#

But yeah, just a matter of positioning and whatnot

#

Only if the new mobs are the ones hitting you with giga aoes, you should be good

tawny pawn
#

I think if he is chainpulling a lot

limber lion
#

But in that case again it's a matter of positioning

#

away from the new pack

tawny pawn
#

i go for for more of a ST cleaving rotation

#

since we dont have the garrotes rup spreads

#

and try to do as much as i can with splatter

limber lion
#

You definitely want to spread garrotes and ruptures

tawny pawn
#

but without the stealth buff

fringe oxide
#

Not getting my stealth ambush off on the first pack and he chain pulling and entire wing afterwards has never felt so bad

tawny pawn
#

in chain pulls

limber lion
#

still

#

You have to

#

To get energy

#

It's your only source of energy

#

It is the single most important thing for the spec

#

To build bleeds and get energy back

#

so you can use your other abilities

tawny pawn
#

so i only use the mutilate for splatter buff

tawny pawn
#

always garrote

limber lion
#

Garrote has a cooldown

#

Outside of stealth

#

So no

#

You would FOK instead

tawny pawn
#

i yeah thats what i meant

#

like

#

if im chainpulling, ill focus the bigboy with garrote rup

limber lion
#

Garrote once, it's on cd, FOK and Rupture until Garry is back up then press it again and then Rup

tawny pawn
#

if it has a big boy

limber lion
#

Sure

#

Gotta get the mark up as well

tawny pawn
#

It is indeed annoying when tanks do that.

limber lion
#

And technically that's apparently the #1 thing

tawny pawn
#

there is a boss that doesnt let you restealth on the mine dungeon

#

so annoying

#

you guys feel that?

whole sand
#

i think playing deathstalker in hcs rn is akin to self harm

limber lion
#

Agreed

tawny pawn
#

are you guys playing FB on HC's?

#

i should try that

limber lion
#

FB everywhere

whole sand
#

yeah

limber lion
#

No reason not to

#

You do more damage and it doesn't fuck you up

#

And it's not a buggy mess

tawny pawn
#

i was actually thinking of that

maiden sierra
#

Prio damage is more important than overall aoe

limber lion
#

Technically Deathstalker sims more, but if you mess up your marks and whatnot, you're fucked

limber lion
#

Not in fucking heroics

#

lmao

#

what's important is clearing the dungeon fast

#

and doing as much damage as possible is how you do that

maiden sierra
tawny pawn
#

Question you doing CB/ER version in fatebound?

limber lion
#

CB

or just

If youre trying to midmax heroics, it says a lot OMEGAKEKW

why would you ever take any of the talents on the right side

It no longer has Shadow Dance there

i used the resources i knew thats why i am here right now

to chat with the gigachads

#

We used to play that route in the past yes

#

But that was with Shadow Dance

limber lion
#

And Nightstalker

#

Which was deleted in TWW

tawny pawn
#

not in the past he is using that right now

limber lion
#

Right

tawny pawn

i was looking what the best players were using now

#

not then

proven jasper
#

its a straight waste of talents on assa

limber lion
#

Well

maiden sierra
#

Bros cooked

limber lion
#

If you want to do 10% less damage for no reason, then go for it

#

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone

tawny pawn
#

but isnt it more confortable in dungeons

proven jasper
#

no

maiden sierra
#

No

limber lion
#

Why would it be any more comfortable?

tawny pawn
#

double vanish

#

no?

limber lion
#

Read what it does

proven jasper
#

u get 1 charge extra

#

Over an entire dungeon

limber lion
#

Read it word per word

maiden sierra

fiery mauve
limber lion
#

Yeah they spoiled it

#

Instead of 13 vanishes you get 14

tawny pawn
#

oh that is awful

limber lion
#

yippee

robust river
#

The cooldown stays the same, you just get a second charge.

tawny pawn
#

im glad i came here today

limber lion
#

and how much damage does Subterfuge give you?

tawny pawn
#

jesus

limber lion
#

The 2 points before the giga useless vanish talent?

#

How much do those give you?

#

Yeah, 0

proven jasper
limber lion
#

They are entirely useless

proven jasper
robust river
#

And the subterfuge talent before it is useless too, as improved garrote does everything that does.

limber lion
#

Too slow bozo

robust river
#

And (I think) we take that in every M+ spec. Maybe in raid it has a use but not sure.

tawny pawn
#

and thats cause i posted only 20% of the tree

robust river
#

(But then double vanish is even worse in raid)

tawny pawn
#

imagine if you guys looked the rest of it

limber lion
#

It's the only part that matters

#

The rest is utility shit

#

take whatever you want

#

the bottom is the damage part

robust river
#

Oh my discord is laggy af

limber lion
#

except the right side

#

which is not

proven jasper
#

every other talent you can argue for besides those three talents

limber lion
#

it's putting utility talents against damage talents

#

that entire right row should be at the top

tawny pawn
#

Share me ur tree cev

#

for generic bleed dungeon build

#

i dont we might not be using bleed build when M+ comes out but

#

dont know if we will

robust river

to be fair Cummins

i looked but there are many guides saying diff things

Going DTB is not as simple as "take DTB instead of AP"

#

You have to change the entire tree for it

#

But it literally just doesn't matter

#

That's called the Hybrid build btw

maiden sierra
#

Which is superior

limber lion
#

And both Hybrid and Bleed basically perform the same

maiden sierra
limber lion
#

Only in higher mythic+

#

Falls flat in heroics and lower mythic+

#

Where you cannot get a full KB in every single pack

robust river
#

Curious, what is deemed high by genearl community? Are we talking 20+ or?

limber lion
#

If the mob that you use KB dies before your entire KB window is finished, it's pointless to even play it

limber lion
#

Probably 15+

maiden sierra
#

Id say a high key is a around 15ish

robust river
#

Ah ok, so they could be a lot harder this time round? I'll aim for 10s to start and see how we go 🤣

tawny pawn
#

Inevitabily is actually a dope talent

maiden sierra
#

10s are supposed to be old 20s.
So 15 should be the high key area normally but again dungeon scaling is unknown at this point

Hi guys I have a few little questions regarding Deathstalker if I may bother you :

  • Momentum of Despair critical strike dmg bonus of 32% is only for fan of knife and Crimson Tempest right ?
  • How does Singular Focus works ? It deals 5% of ANY dmg done to other targets ?
  • Does Lingering Darkness stacks with improved Shiv and result by a 69% nature increase ? and if yes could it be better to delay KB to this phase after the DeathMark ?
normal mist
#

Because the FIRST one I did during s4, was a full party deplete

#

Because no one was expecting things to not die in 3 seconds

#

(casual player base)

#

This is not an insult btw, but the casual low m+ / m0 Andy's had it rough

tired gull
#

i came back to wow towards the end of s4, in full 480s and the first dungeon i did was a +10 and didn't think it was very difficult even then

normal mist
#

Depends on affix and party ilvl

Oh and brain

hi guys its gonna be probably a stupid question but, (i read the guide of assa rogue, im new to this class) but what poison do you use as assa ?

tired gull
#

deadly + amp (if talented)

winter owl
#

!poisons

normal mist
#

!poison

prisma monolithBOT
#

You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:

Lethals:

  • Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
    Non-Lethals:
  • Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB

Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used

I need some clarification of AoE rotation: whats better, switching targets to apply dots or focusing main target to utilize Caustic Spatter?

normal mist
#

Dots for scent of blood stacks (ruptures) and energy Regen, CT and then you pick a target and go ham with caustic

spice surge
#

Its not one or the other, its both

#

!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
fathom cove
#

Ok so ... if I open from Stealth with Indiscriminate Carnage, dots are applied to all targets. If the dots run out and pack is not dead, I manually multidot Rupture (and Garrote?) and then go back to rotation on main target, is that it?

normal mist
#

To up to 3 targets

fathom cove
#

why 3?

normal mist
#

Read the ability

#

It spreads to up to 3 targets

fathom cove
#

IC you mean?

normal mist
#

So if you have 5 targets let's say, you need to garrote twice and rupture twice

#

Yes

fathom cove
#

Ok I see

#

I guess it applies to just closest targets, there is no smart preference for undotted enemies?

normal mist
#

There is smart preference

#

BUT

#

You always apply to the one you're castinf

fathom cove
#

Right ok

normal mist
#

Which means that if you garrote the same target twice, you spread 3 and then 2

not even in Sudden Demise range?

no

#

you dont play around sudden demise

i see

sudden demise is a "failure safety net" of some reason

its not a dmg gain

tawny pawn

its just for low dungeons right?

royal lantern

all it does is making sure that Bleed dmg that otherwhise would be wasted atleast does something at all

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.

All Specs are good and have niches and strengths that they play to. All three specs are looking viable with Assassination/Subtlety being preferred in raids. Mythic+ meta has not solidified yet but Assassination looked promising during beta.

Be aware that Simulations are a tool to be used to compare things like talents/gear/rotations, they are not the definite answer to what is meta or not meta. While outlaw is ahead in sims right now, especially dungeonslice, you have to take a step back and realize these are synthetic/generic situations that we use as a baseline. Dungeonslice has always been a great showing for outlaw simply due to the fight style matching well with the spec. This is not unusual or unheard of.

You can view logs of the raid when it comes out Here, or view the mythic+ run leaderboard Here.

!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.
  • 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
  • You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target
