What's the situation for dps output in raids between the hero talents?

runic hinge
#

They’re close

Do we know already from testing if deathstalker will be unusable?

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

fringe oxide
#

Because the juggling of the mark is doing my head in in mythic plus

# balmy condor what

You mentioned something about non targetable bosses and losing the mark or capstone or so? Think it was also happening in mists?

balmy condor
#

yeh but that's very rare and they've been fixing stuff

#

won't be an issue in raid

fringe oxide
#

I still feel like I can't touch the first mob faster than they get me out of stealth with aoe damage in heroic dungeons sometimes. Is this just me being bad and attacking too slowly?

jaunty matrix
#

never had such an issue

fringe oxide
#

Maybe it is just me

balmy condor
#

mix of skill issue and heroics just full slamming 24/7

jaunty matrix
#

only minor setback is back2back pulls with no pause to restealth

balmy condor
#

probably a bug or two in there as well

#

cause jank

which will probably never be fixed

or maybe they get fixed half way through s2 when they rework rogue

#

Believe me

#

first pull can be rough sometimes depending on instance

since mobs can randomly just hit you out of stealth

fringe oxide
#

Phew

#

That seems like my experience

#

I thought it only happened to me

#

I played 3 hours of dungeons and after the first two I started getting frustrated with myself or the game. I didn't know which one I should be.

vernal oyster
#

was there a new small optimization for fatebound or did i just have a strange dream?

heavy sentinel
#

so is outlaw the highest simming spec?

fringe oxide
#

Also because I often garote from stealth. Stupid muscle memory

balmy condor
heavy sentinel
#

oh hot

jaunty matrix
#

yes because of the way outlaw works

spark rain
#

Isn’t it assuming you get perfect procs?

jaunty matrix
#

it has no downtime

#

at all

#

its dummies

heavy sentinel
#

yea thats fair

jaunty matrix
#

and outlaw makes the most out of no downtime in a fight

fringe oxide
#

Aren't all rogue specs bound by uptime?

loud dome
#

man what are all these stealth bugs, i remember just mistweavers getting you out of stealth but now it's just random stuff, and a lot more often

balmy condor
runic hinge
fringe oxide
#

Ah I see

runic hinge
#

But definitely all 3 want uptime

jaunty matrix
#

please make it so sub is not the raid spec

fringe oxide
#

Whispyr do you have gameplay of you running dungeons with deathstalker? I would like to see how you manage the hero talent.

balmy condor
#

uhhh

#

don't think I do

#

been mostly playing fatebound

fringe oxide
#

What makes you play that? If I might ask

balmy condor
#

idk I don't see a point being sweaty and I enjoy assa

#

I probably have to play deathstalker for min-max later

might as well play fatebound now and just have fun

Hi, probably stupid question, but my fiance is feral kitty and mentioned that his bleeds tick faster based on haste. Is there such a thing for sin as well?

drifting cloud
#

yes

vital bison

I'm swapping to Sin after being outlaw/combat for a long time so learning the intricacies of it

#

Okay, thank you! Just was debating between some things and when he mentioned that to me I was like rynnNani

moroes deadge?

#

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}

# vital bison Appreciate the breakdown!

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 > Versatility
It'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

there's also this

shy pecan
#

Moroes, at least spell his name right

but it doesn't make them tick out faster/make them shorter or anything

EXCUSES

normal mist
#

This shit keeps autocorrecting

vital bison
#

Absolutely; and I wasn't looking at stacking haste at all; it was more general curiousity about the bleed ticks because I didn't remember it being that way when I last played sin in Panda

cunning needle
#

tl;dr dont fall down a path thinking you need X breakpoint of stat when playing assi

Something something partial ticks something something @limber lion

normal mist
#

Yep. More haste = more dots ticks

cunning needle

does that increase more energy from venomous wounds?

If it ticks more

#

You receive more energy probably

I like void form more than DA but what can you do

I think VE is the play this tier for most content

There's a Void DA build that's good for low m+ but it's looking like VE is the play in raid and higher m+

I like da cause it’s one minute but I think the wings look worse than VE. I wish I could have void form look with DA lol

weapon poisons are those on ur weapons

#

"poison" usually includes kingsbane + caustic spatter +envenom + poison bomb

dawn heath
#

caustic spatter must be bugged in sims or the APL plays wrong

i am doing more dps than the sim

#

by like 20%

runic depot
#

Hi guys in AOE when I’m opening garrote x 2 > rup x 2 > garrote x 2, are you guys sending these into the same target and splashing with IC or tab targeting to find new targets per cast

#

I’ve been splashing off the one target but not sure

earnest remnant
#

Dslice sims arent for seeing how much dmg you should do in dungeons

dawn heath
#

i am doing more than 2x caustic damage compared to APL

#

but abit lower on other sources

#

maybe its just coded wrong

#

clearly caustic does more damage than higher rupture uptime or CT

earnest remnant
#

keep in mind sims arent a static time

maiden matrix
#

!wa

earnest remnant
#

there is variance in time

#

anyway, this dude is gonna be able to help more than i can @balmy condor

runic depot
#

Anyone able to help me out or direct me somewhere I can find an answer?

runic hinge
runic depot
#

say mass AOE like 10+

runic hinge
#

But also most of the time I send them into the same target because it’s pretty niche min max. You’re missing 3 garrotes and 1 rupture for not switching but that would be if there was 12 targets to garrote

runic depot
#

right okay so pretty minor good to know thanks

runic hinge
#

Yeah and like you’re not gonna have a ton of 10+ pulls so I mean you’re not missing a ton of damage for those few pulls a dungeon you would actually benefit

dawn heath
#

i am out dpsing the apl by 20% while also not playing perfectly

#

making a few mistakes

earnest remnant
#

highly doubt its the apl, being 20% off

jolly heath
#

are your dummies at 0% hp

#

so you are in execute range

dawn heath
#

no this is aoe

#

5 targets

#

full hp

median root
#

out dps the apl consistently 10000 times with no changes first, then we can talk about it being "wrong". you cannot take a handful of cases vs 10000+ sim iterations.

dawn heath
#

i will beat the apl every time

median root
#

there are many factors that will skew such a small set

dawn heath
#

i tried a bunch of times

#

its just not prioritising the correct things

#

i think whoever coded the apl has done it wrong on cleave

earnest remnant
#

well that would be whispyr

median root
#

then read the apl and find the bits you think are wrong 🤷‍♂️

jolly heath
#

did you compare your casts vs simc?

mild copper
#

Hey guys, any update on embellishments? Or it is still better wait to s1 to start?

earnest remnant
#

its always better to wait, until you actually need them

dawn heath
#

comparing right now

earnest remnant
#

you never know when they are gonna do a lil suprise tuning

dawn heath
#

-2 casts CT - 5 casts rupture +6 casts envemom + 7 casts FOK mutilate same -7 casts garrote

#

20% higher damage

#

so in general

#

im trading bleed uptime for caustic envenoms

#

Is there a prebis for season 1?

#

Or just blues with crit/mast on them?

molten sail
#

hey guys, quick question, maybe it has been asked before but why dont delaying KB at the end of DM for the juicy 30% buff from deathstalker (it should only cost a bonus KB use if fight length is more than 7.5 minutes)

earnest remnant
#

you loose out on 2x poison applications from DM

molten sail
#

from what ? oO

earnest remnant
#

DM dublicates them

chilly laurel
#

you apply 2x poisons and ramp faster durring dm

molten sail
#

hooo yeah

#

mb

#

ofc

#

dumb question

#

was only thinking about the bleed dup xD

#

tyty

runic hinge
#

I don’t think the apl is optimized to hit 5 targets consistently for 2 minutes straight

#

It’s like dslice isn’t a perfect optimization or representation of a dungeon but it’s the best we have

dawn heath
#

arent there different apl's for different amount of targets?

#

or is there a default set of rules?

#

that it just follows?

earnest remnant

Is it possible to macro 1 button to cast shadow step and then when I am within melee range of the target cast ambush? I am trying to make a Wish version of Shadowstrike

jolly heath
#

maybe they did something in the hotfix that affected caustic

#

or was it always like this, i didnt sim aoe lately lol

earnest remnant

just buffs for its duration

novel star
#

the only snapshot on sin is improved garrote i think

earnest remnant
#

yeh

this means the number of hits right?

#

ingame caustic hits way higher

#

from details

is there a WA to track Clear the witnesses?

its just a simple buff, so yeah there would be some, i know a few of the packs linked here have it tracked

storm hedge
#

Suggestion. Keep it like that so blizz devs think we have low DPS kekdog

earnest remnant
#

blizzard do have access to ingame data uknow

dawn heath
#

better to just sandbag your performance

storm hedge
#

Should've put /s in there

jolly heath
#

Just let it be this way so I can feel good about myself for beating a computer

dawn heath
#

the apl is likely to increase by like 20%+-

#

high roll rng and good gameplay can make u beat the computer regardless though

#

atleast on the average iteration

#

u will probably never beat the top iteration it does

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean it should be entirely reasonable to beat the sim every now and then

#

if you can never beat the sim it sucks as a model

cunning needle
#

i for one, support this sandbagging of sims

#

we warlock gamers now

balmy condor
#

for the record, the apl is fine, first glance just seems to be lack of interactions

dawn heath
#

i kind of just assumed it was the APL wrong initially but after looking at casts it was sort of similar, not spot on but within reason. so there is some interaction of caustic damage that its just not accounting for correctly as compared to ingame

balmy condor
#

hero talent jank me thinks atm

#

I can confirm that hunt them down spatters in game but not in sims for example

#

but there's more

#

so I think something broke with deathstalkers module

#

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.

Anyone recreate the conditions of a patchwork fight in game to see if your sim matches and get a significant difference between the two?

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

Hmmm, I didn't meant those kind of stats

#

But more like, avg dmg per class

cunning needle
#

oh

#

warcraftlogs?

#

once raid opens

waxen oyster
#

you said m+ stats

solar orbit
#

Does that work for m+ too?

#

things such as most common groups

shy pecan
#

Not really.

cunning needle
#

define: stats

shy pecan
#

Issue is that comparing damage you do is conditional on so many factors

cunning needle
#

^ comparing damage in m+ is like trying to compare a banana to an apple

dawn heath
#

assa rogue 128 isnt that like 1800 rio

#

no one played assa

like you can maybe compare damage in wclogs

but then its also like

"Ascension on dagger + Patch is technically bis right now but it's way stronger than legit anything else and bis for basically every spec in the game so nerfs are kinda expected, do with that what you'd like" -- hi im dumb, what is scension and patch?

south lava

Is fatebound better in m+ than ds?

shy pecan

!hero

south lava

Now that ds is bugged with er

shy pecan

Forgot moroes went to bed

strange python

guys whats ascension and patch

cunning needle
# shy pecan !hero

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

runic hinge
strange python
runic hinge

Ascension is the buff like BSL was and patch is like toxic patch

#

Of course

#

Idk what ascension does exactly

strange python
#

im so lost

#

i started season 4 of dragon flight

runic hinge
#

Did you play in dragon flight

#

Okay did you play double Blue silken lining

strange python
#

no i ran toxic patch on my boots

#

cause that was crafted

runic hinge
#

Okay so you have an embellishment which is ascension

#

And the patch enhances the ascension

#

Like your toxic boots were an embellishment and the toxic patch enhanced them

cunning needle
#

what.

#

fuck blizzard holy shit

strange python
#

ok so i would need crafted dagger then?

runic hinge

Uhh idk. You can probably put it on most crafted pieces tbh

ah cool so ur like double garroting the same target to spread to 5?

warped jackal

Guys new to assassin here . How do you play in herioc dungeon ? Everything just die fast . The moment i go out of stealth finsh spreading garrot and ruptare by that time everything is about to die and no time to switch to posion phase

# mystic osprey What about it did you struggle with

My plater was a miss so fixing that is a must so that healthbar not all over each other . The mouse over helped alot and is good but the dynamic target was just so eaiser since i dont like moving my mouse over health bar choosing and one you spread bleed now you target one and burst with kingsbane . I was sleeping on dynamic targeting

mystic osprey
#

Not really trying to overstate it just saying that it's not as bad as people have been complaining

tawdry crypt
#

outlaw has a few bugs, but my 560 outlaw was simming for 780k st

#

lol

#

just depends on how much downtime there is in the raid

mystic osprey
#

For a sim

tawdry crypt
#

I mean, it's accurate

#

if no downtime

rotund oak
#

truth is that outlaw if nothing happeds to change the current state it will never see the day of light

tawny pawn

i think its too early to say before ER + Mark gets fixed

rotund oak

coz its atrocious to play

huh

fix bte bug and it's fine

outlaw is not so bad

i think SL was prolly one of the worst times for AOE assa builds

poison needs long livin targets tho

rotund oak

Poison cleave more like last season

rotund oak

and the small timing adgustments

waxen oyster

not really bfa you were kinda throwing not playing outlaw

#

cleave was a niche build

tawny pawn
#

We did have a poggers ST tho

rotund oak
#

outlaw bfa was light years ahead from the otehr two specs

#

sub wasnt even there after zul

#

ye sin was doing much higher st

#

with all that haste

#

outlaw was good for couple of cleave fights

waxen oyster
#

ehh s3/4 wasnt that much crazier

#

than really good crackshot outlaw

thin gate
#

100% haste Crimson Tempest single target kekdog

waxen oyster

just most people sucked at outlaw

rotund oak
#

outlaw was much different then though

#

the way bf worked with 2 stacks

waxen oyster
#

talking amir

#

and yeah bfa outlaw was foul

tawny pawn
#

we had vendetta

#

also our melee was like 30% of our dmg

waxen oyster
#

maybe s1 bfa

tawny pawn
#

plic plic plic plic

#

s2

#

s1 sub was way stronger

#

cause of the armor miscalc

waxen oyster
#

uhh

tawny pawn
#

ye

waxen oyster
#

wasnt because of that

tawny pawn
#

no prob

waxen oyster
#

specs were relatively close in s1

rotund oak
#

outlaw was still stronger

waxen oyster
#

then sub got zul treatment

#

but zul treatment was basically s2 at that point

#

deep deep farm

rotund oak
#

sub just got nuked

#

for that tech

waxen oyster

and double rings gave outlaw wits

rotund oak

zul wouldnt die tbh without 2-3 sub rogues

strongest rogue trait

rotund oak

yup keep ur wits was insane

sin played 3x double dose ideally

How do you know if stats is capped?

runic hinge
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
