Idk man I’ve had marks just ripped from me and it’s pretty sick
One thing i’m trying to log is if I place mark on target with DN active and I use the final part of the mark on a full finisher envenom, I just end up with no deathstalker stacks
Pretty wicked stuff
:^)
Hard to be emo with Stuart harassing you constantly big dog
nah I like arcane
-_-
He took a bath today. Water everywhere
Death.

did someone say arcane

SNIFF
My favorite show
she’s so fucking hot im gonna kill myself
my bad

its a really fun spec
What the fuck
and the best mage spec
Low bar
what? i didnt type anything
Mage is death by default sorry king
pruned 

wizards are unethical
so uhh
if death is by your hand, I dare choose it
It’s fine Davyn is a year or two off of death natty anyway
Cold blood in the year of our lord 2024
i like purple mr clean too
the entire reason I love fatebound

MY EYES
Yeah deathstalker is slightly better
get fucked
rip guys
what you gonna call me coinflipper too?
no i respect everyones opinions
burger flipper
even the wrong ones
I'll call you copper clown
yeah but is the slightly enough of a reason to change your rotation
Is there like a minimum CP we want to cast SnD?
coin goes TING
when you could just go fatebound and ball
You don’t change much at all
Ambush and force a max finisher on DN
you play deathstalker because you want to believe rogue hero talents are interesting
its litterally 1

meh fatebound sounds more funny
Enjoy what you want 
COIN GOES TIIIING
davyn is down abyssmal
I wish, thanks for asking
I got failbound to sim 1.4% better than DS. I think either are fine.
is the trinket list from wowhead good or just sim?
right now, fb is just objectively better, but when they fix DS, its another talk
oh no i should not have said that

ive got the sac, empowering crystal and the candle stick, sac+candle sims best but idk if i use it good enough to justify xd
since its the only on use trinket, and i just bind it to deathmark
i guess all in all it wont matter untill m+
Would you use this
Yeah I’d fw it if it was big damage
it's good but very jank/annoying to play around
yes it's basically puzzlebox 2.0
are you guys just playing fb untill the fix echoing interactions?
I’m playing fatebound until something actually lives 3 envenoms
actually sims the same on st and worse on aoe for me
than the dungeon on use
on same ilvl
It was better for both for me using orb and pheromone trinket. I haven’t been spamming heroics tho. Only 579
is there a button shadowstep kick macro on mouseover?
the problem with mouseover on kick in the same line of the macro is that sometimes the cursor gets moved off target when u step
imagine your have 2 decades of experience with your game
and a fucking world event
lags the whole server

#pvp those guys probably have one
!up
I have been when I’m on and I’m only 576 
Missing pants and bracers
Still in the 550s there
is fatebound just playing
Yes
I mean, u dont track anything xd
pheromone is probably good if you have the 3 guys at renown 4
i didnt even try it
how do you do fellow wow players
I don’t. That zone is stinky
you dont need to, and you get quality of life CB
MISS U(S)
You can in the same way that you could have tracked frost shards.
There’s nothing meaningful to help

Hey king
Stu took a bath. The floor is soaked!
!dn
Do I need to always be in stealth to apply a Deathstalker Mark?
- Only the initial application. Darkest Night reapplies and will be the majority of your applications
Echoing Reprimand.... - Yes, Echoing Reprimand doesn't interact with the Mark / Darkest Night, this is one of the biggest bugs still plaguing Deathstalker as a whole
- Until it is fixed, you would want to run 2/2 Lethality and still put 1 point into Echoing Reprimand
But the 3rd cp or something? - Correct, there has been a newly found... bug? interaction? With the Mark and Echoing Reprimand. It requires you to have your 3rd combo point be animacharged, the Mark be applied from Darkest Night, and then consuming the animacharge with Envenom. Should all those conditions be met, it will consume a stack of the Mark as intended.
Does Blizzard know? - There is no way they don't know. This has been mass reported, screamed from the rooftops, highlighted in every wowhead article, youtube video, forum post and stream since Deathstalker was revealed in alpha. The only thing we can do is keep reporting the bug through the in-game report, making noise on forums, and waiting.
Love tracking DN

i expected deez nuts joke
wait is bugged deathstalker simming more than fate?
do the current sims available take into account DS bug or do they assume how it should work?
Unlucky
or do the sims not consider bugs?
I was just about to ask this. Do we know if sims are still bugged for sin or not? ran a sim for both sin and outlaw using highest parsing ST builds and the difference is...large.

How difficult is the 20 Wave weekly for Ass.?
Piss easy
Well then I really suck at Rogue lmao
is this like a pikaboo step kick macro?
same
same
it's really not extraordinarily easy, rogue is pretty bad for solo content
but you should be able to do it still
sims can be misleading - a lot can depend on uptime
Use your iron wire silecne for the casters
we won't really know definitively until raid is out
Kite the mech into the tower lasers
i think if you CC the guys that do fire beams, they die instantly
Yeah, they do
that's why we demoted @spice spire, replaced him with chatgpt
Is double dawnthread still the way for crafted?
yeah apparently fok is still used single target
Pins
weird its not mentioned on wowhead
Yeah I read but its a week old so just confirming 🙂
Generally hold sparks until after HC tuning, cause Asceension is still way stronger but will probs get nerfed
Alright thanks
Iirc any time you apply mark you’ll end up using ctw proc
Not 100% but like 99% here
is there a plater profile for rogues that only shows my bleed timers?
or a weakaura

Think if you run vicious venoms you don't bother idk if that's there
is there a current bug list? the one above looks old. and/or heres my confusion.... my stealth keeps getting broken by... nothing. randomly happens. open world, in town, dungeons, wherever. i first thought my keyboard was double tapping stealth, but i ruled that out. anyone else having stealth randomly break?
The one in the pins
oh... god dangit. / slap
oki dont see the stealth issue there. i found some forum threads but just came here as the ultimate source.
only without vicious venoms talented assuminmg u mean st
SO you only care about it in the opener?
Oh so you fully ignore it with vicious venoms
I see

Hi folks, quick question, are Earthen decent as sin rogues?
Or should I stick to Goblin?
yeah ctw st looks like .7%
hollowfall chest reknown 7 not too bad eh?
Sorry for ur loss
no you're not
Gonna eat ur shitter like an apple fritter big dog


is this accurate ?
Woah bro fell off
Ur next dog
!up
thx
this doesnt show delve
shit graphic
best one i found
the raid build with viceous venom doesnt cus mutilate/ambush are simply more value
in the m+ build without it, you can do it, but its a minor thing overall
white text with no shadow on bright red background
rofl you literally ignore the proc if you have VV talented or

yes
turns out, when the marks by themself buff mut/ambush (for some reason)
and you take talents that buff mut/ambush even more
they kinda get a good chunk value
item levels are also hard to scan all the way across, should have item level labeled down the right side as well so it's easy to see the ilvl from either side
yes

true
xd
which weapon enchant on dagger for assa bis enchant is not aviable at this point
mastery?
pretty sure you sim that
does this mean i should recast garrote etc to have 2 stacks on the enemy or just that garrotte now deals x2 damage
yep
the moment you cast it, your garrote and rupture will be duplicated, no need to re-apply
and itll also inherit any bonus damage effects aplying to it, i.e. the bonus damage from improved garrote will be active on both garrotes

guys, do we have a trinket tier list besides the bis ones?
It is possible...I'm too dumb for Rogue lol
was also wondering if this works with a BM in party, for example
What about Druid in feral stances?
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
- Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
do we use crimson tempest on single target if talented into it? looks like it does more than rupture?
oh well, i recall looking at bloodmallet several years ago, just to get the bigger picture about the trinkets
no
why is that? looks like it does around double the damage of rupture
according to tooltip, at least
tooltips
Is Echoing reprimend bugued with Crimson tempest? Its just giving 16 sec and not 23

my tooltip says 6 cp rupture does 626k over 28 seconds, and that ct does 769k over 16 seconds
so is the tooltip just straight up wrong
what a pain
my tooltip says 1million for rupture and 717k for CT
so ct only on 2+ targets then?
lmao
Correct
forgot were still playing pre alpha
cheers
our hero talents will be fixed by release right?
Same kekw
...right?
might not be combo point efficient as well considering the low duration
Why 23? It should be 18
is the signet from priory a good farm before next week?
so what about 7 cp finishers? all the tooltips only tell us what happens at 6cp, but they still consume 7
so i assume they still count as 7cp finishers, and the tooltips are once again just not accurate?
Yes
Yes
Tooltips are 
Its not a new thing that tooltips suck btw
does thistle tea snapshot like tiger's fury
That has been the case for like 10+ years
yikes
Nope
No
But it's damages and duration per CP
So you can easily guess how many it will do
what talent are you guys playing atm?
Whatever someone smarter than me (whispyr) decided
Bleed + Fatebound, I don't want to think

I also didn't find in the guides if you guys macro tea with deathmark
also CT doesnt do any upfront damage anymore right? is the tooltip right on that part atleast?
When i hit it with 7 combo points and it has 5 ot 6 seconds left it goes to 23, but with ER goes only to 20
is the nightly sims alright? my guildies thinks my sims are way too low, but they are arcane mage and ele shaman so not sure whats right 😛
!POISON
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
so no reason to spam CT in aoe anymore
When do we use tea
Correct
Oh you count during pandemic
does Outlaw really going to be far superior to the 2 other specs like the fuu sheets shows or is it because of the bugs / simc not being accurate or fully up to date ?
Outlaw sim really high, yes
Don't
But you're right, duration is bugged
so from my understanding tea is when
shiv on deathmark
energy starved?
yes
not the deathmark part
tea when you use shiv and it gives 100energy
thats all
going to report then, ty
Maybe it's already known
got it, thanks!
!craft
You can freely use weathered crests to craft any 590's you'd like. Preferences currently are wrist/belt/rings.
The current "best" embellishment is Ascension on a dagger with a nerubian patch on wrist. This is very overtuned compared to other embellishments and nerfs/buffs are expected.
The current "safe" embellishment to craft is dawnthread on wrist/belt, as this will most likely be generically good.
Blizzard has been tuning embellishments near daily since the expansion has come out. Because of this, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO CHASE BIS EMBELLISHMENTS OR USE SPARKS CURRENTLY
Towards the start of raid release recommendations will update everywhere.
at any point during the 5 sec shiv window, right?
!bug
Rogue Bug tracker: https://github.com/SimCMinMax/WoW-BugTracker/labels/Rogue
We should check damages as well
Cuz may ER get consume but not apply
Guys which m+ guide is more updated (or better i have no clue). Whispyrs youtube video or wowhead?

how bad is it using rupture on ER combo point?
okay
if we garrote from stealth, should we wait till it almost runs out instead of refreshing it on pandemic timer, or will the new application still benefit from the increased dmg
Wait until almost runs out
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
are the sin sims up to date in the spreadsheet?
they are 5 days old
should be fine
you can probably also take the raw input and run it again on the nightly build if you want
hey @limber lion your plater is update for tww brother? 😄
Yes
how high of a prio is using our max combopoint env to reapply marks?
the highest
Yes
Yes
Yes




Should be fine yeah
I guess I should ask for a new import so it updates in the page
https://wago.io/gf0Dg_Ujr this one imported in 2023 is fine?
Whats the best race for assas rogue?
Prolly the one and only Petko
the prettiest
is it Orc?
orc / dwarf
Earthen is p shit then id assume?
yeeeeeep
It's whichever you prefer to look at 🙂
Assa 3rd best dps in raid? xd
outlaw ahead from sub? xd
ayo i didn't make it man 
Who is looking at tier lists
bro but why is people spreading fake info always
Generate clicks
from dumb people
ig
Tierlists purely exist to generate ad revenue.
Windwalker not at the bottom holy
Big ad revenue propagating tier lists to the masses real
the only ones correct id say arcane and both druids xd
Zamn time to make your own tier list
Pretty hard to tell at this point tbh
Frost is pretty low for the hype generated though
Fdk
Frost is a spec for the casuals who can't play unholy.
the 6% dmg nerf makes it unplayable, surely. 😛
Ironic

it will get even better to do it with the new DK set coming in the anniversary
50% the reason we didnt get tier 3 instead is because they couldn't give that set to DKs instead of warriors.
the other 50% is so they could launch the pally tier2 remake.
No I'm pretty sure T2 is more hyped amongst boomers.
Than T3
Judgement is THE iconic paladin set.
Not sure why someone asked to remake bwl weapons
Ashkandi got remade twice.
I have only played Outlaw rogue before, never tried assa but since its so much better RN iam gona give it ago. Anyone have any nice video for rotations?
Dreadnaught is peak
Yeah
Lete us know why you think Assa is so much better 🙂
I use tabard of the void now with it though since they gave every pleb frost tabard for free

Can't go looking like a pleb

is there a way just to copy the buff indicator of a plater profile?
without the ugly ass plater display
Just read wowhead guide
And check Whispyr's videos
And you'll have to learn to stop spammin your keyboard
https://www.youtube.com/@whispyr5793 - This is the wowhead guide author's channel, if you prefer video format
If it’s a script or a mod, then just export the string.
@slate crown maybe you can help me
I'm about to be out of the house so only if it takes less than 2 minutes
On my nameplate I use a script to color nameplate depending debuff target got, is that possible to have it without the debuff indicator ?
I'll just say I don't know
Because I don't do plater customization much
or scripting
but like
if it's anything like I expect, yeah you probably can, but I can't provide advice for how to do it
Thanks anyway
Ow
I’d take screenshots of the settings and just copy them over
No
I fought with this for hours
Yeah, I saw it on your video
I know this is more for people askin' questions but I don't have any, I'm new to the spec and a returning player and just wanted to say thank you to the fine folks helping in here and answering questions. ❤️
The best you can get is auto-hiding the buff the moment it shows
But then you get this
Hmmmmm
I have one more cook I need to try but that’s maybe next week
Glad I could be of assistance to you.
🫡

I'll be happy to know if you find a solution
dracthyr rogues

which hero spec is is better for ass
!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
so you always start from stealth with ambush playing Nightstalker ?
Correct if you don't have DN buff
just ask mike hawk
basically deathstalker is simming better in all contexts but has annoying bugs while fb is a lot cleaner and only a few % worse at most

just crit more
DN?
deez nvenoms
Oh
The buff that make the 7CP envenom apply marks
btw is this another HxH reference just like the legendary from legion?
zoldyck's training shackles if im not mistaken
i mean there is a zoldyck family in wow that is a reference
so like they originally referenced hxh, then they reference the reference

big brain time
scalie here
no transmog, no race change
gigantic bozos at blizzard, ngl
fair lol
the talent does the same thing as the legendary so it's the same reference yeah
can show off mog in human form ig
LMAO
buy them all and resell
nah
@balmy condor downloaded plater for the first time in my life, gave your profile the honor.
it’s free real estate
too risky for me only have 2m capital
10k a piece goes quick
you need like 30m to play games like this
(i really like the deathstalker marks target nameplate being purple)
why the fuck would i play the dragon race and then walk around as a frking blood elf
i would play a belf then
visage form > belf
What kind of crazy take did I just walk on to
for the lizard wearing human skin vibes, american government cosplay
plater
you dont use it and think "i dont need it tbh" until you download it once and notice how convinient it is
true
What are you trying, to recolor a plater when SBS is up but without showing the icon itself?
Okay pink name
no longer pink name
somewhere
Layer to your unyon
Onyo
Caustic but yeh, was talking to a plater dev but script trigger conditions are filtered by the aura filter so it’s kinda doomed
Is what it is
what are some of y'alls highest rolls on flips? i had a 12 tails going into the last boss of a stonevault and procced it 5 times and just sent the boss to the shadow realm. was kinda funny lol
Had a 22 flip during testing
My highest is like 14. Feeling unlucky about it tbh
Did a priory last night and never hit capstone
can you make plater debuffs get a size of 1x1 based on aura ID?
Is using crimson tempest worth on boss in m+ with the hybrid build?
Wait I'm confused
i didnt even have cds up for the boss, just went completely cosmic
It's automatically hidden and put behind every other debuff in the list
Yeh the kind of part is the trouble
Why is it an issue?
I tried that too but there’s some auto-centering that happens
So you still get the stutters
Maybe I just turn that off idk
Is that a new thing or

Yeh
Idk
I ripped that logic out of your plater and it stuttered
Maybe tww broke
which plater profile is this?
So you have to set use aura reorder script as well
to make sure it's the lowest in the order
So it never appears in front of the other debuffs
Nah I got rid of it cause it didn’t help but when I try again I’ll get it

Most of us don't play the game, we just sim it
i play the game and i dont really play the game
I dont sim i play
That’s former Method player that no longer plays the game to u

we had a guy doing logreviews that didnt play the game


Post rework too

Never even played that iteration of sin

tbh, could be summed up with
"did you keep shiv running? did kb crit?"

Nah I had a few sequencers and a lot of like
Super duper basic uptime stuff
There was a super weird one where kb dropped off milliseconds after dm ended that kind of sucked
we kinda like priory trink right? seems decent atleast
hey guys, is this best M+ talents for rogue?
same setup i have
Priory trinket is decent - worth simming
is sim out already?
I guess it's okay cause you see all debuffs. But if you blacklist everything but not spatter, does it appear?
ty ,3
?
I guess I'll do some more test tomorrow too
i mean correctly tuned for TWW
his trick is reordering stuff to the end and then hiding it
heard they were makign a few adjustments
Ongoing
But loosely you can sim your gear and get a fairly reliable response on gains and whatnot
Yes, but why do you need to put it in the end? I don't get how it helps
makes it not jitter
No...
Got it
It jitters because you update the debuff and it appears in front or in between other debuffs
That happened to me too previously
But not exactly like what happened in Whispyr's screenie
looks a bit different
Your debuff are centered?
any idea what the best embellishment?
Pins
Hey guys
I see ytb video where people played with 2 vanish
On mm+
Was nerfed ? Why we prefered play with the kyrian spell
2 vanishes equates to 2/4 extra casts across a 40 minute dungeon
It doesn’t have separate cooldowns
So If you use both in 45 seconds, your second charge comes back in 3:15 from the first
Hmm ok
Not 2 minutes after the second cast
Generally no
If you’re super coordinated and will need CDs after a large pull
Could see worth
Some fancypants use it for utility or whatever
But 99% of time
instead of damage
but if you want maximum damage, don't play it
More survibality
Or if you don’t have giga coordinated group
I understand that couid be important
Ok thx
And the Ambush
Do you use it at pull ?
Even in aoe
In the beginning yeah
once
To get the mark rolling
As Deathstalker
If you play Fatebound, no
Fatebound is the good one
because it's not a buggy mess
and you do maximum damage without the game fucking you up
Bc u had to back fast on your main target
huh
Maybe it’s because hm mode
But when u put two garrot and two rupture
Yeah i think too
But i want to anticipate mm+
And even in mm+ i think fatebound will be better
In fact
so is fatebound better than deathstalk?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
look at this
Because we can’t deny it
Sure
im proper lost outside of the opener hey, cannot hit this sim dps at all unless the dummy is already dead
I am’better since i understand that i have to use less the tempest for’more envemom
Maintain CT is all you do
Why are we only looking at the opener
opener is fine i just cant piece together the pieces to keep the dps rolling until the next window - so many questions, ie am i saving energy to roll a few envenoms, am i pooling a bit before kingsbane, do i just spend energy as i have it and then pool for kingsbane - watched the hour long video whyspyr chucked up but it seemed to focus mainly on the opener - highly likely i missed a few key points though
i rather have elusiveness over cheat death in m+, especially high keys but thats up to you ;D
Ct?
crimson tempest
Will it be a big loss going fatebound in m+ instead of deathstalker?
!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
is it normal that on dummy i can consume a mark with whatever number of cp (even with one) after having reapplied the mark ?
Thank you sir
Yes but not 6s
It's 30% of applied value
Much lower than 6s for CT
Like 3s
Your weakaura should glow
You don't really know if you just look at the glowy buttons

Yo, just got myself pretty much pre bis, stats and all, currently wondering if its just me that feels slighty energy starved with the serious lack of haste my simcs are convincing me to get?
!design
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay.
- No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better.
- 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
- You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target

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
oh thx didnt know about that
Okay, so we are pooling a little more to extend evnenom, gotcha
should have done it earlier
!pooling Yup, here’s some more info on pooling specifically
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.
Shit, thanks for that :D!
Can anyone tell me how much of each % I need to achieve?
you mean secondary?
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
- Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
!craft
You can freely use weathered crests to craft any 590's you'd like. Preferences currently are wrist/belt/rings.
The current "best" embellishment is Ascension on a dagger with a nerubian patch on wrist. This is very overtuned compared to other embellishments and nerfs/buffs are expected.
The current "safe" embellishment to craft is dawnthread on wrist/belt, as this will most likely be generically good.
Blizzard has been tuning embellishments near daily since the expansion has come out. Because of this, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO CHASE BIS EMBELLISHMENTS OR USE SPARKS CURRENTLY
Towards the start of raid release recommendations will update everywhere.
Not a thing, need to be simming, as having 10% of a stat for you could be around 4k, and 6k for me, depends on gear
like, should i put crit + mastery on every piece or let some haste?
sim it bro, but yeah mostly
thanks
🙂
Slowly turning assassination into bot spam with all the repeat questions
^ yes and thank you
Happens sometimes xD
You could pin it all and then just tell people to check the pins
Then it becomes pins spam
We do that already
The only thing that's not a command is what embellishment to use
Ez "pins" autoreply right there
Pin good
Bigger and better
I thought we were all bots
Yeh
What you guys personally like the most ? DS or Fate
DS personally
!sims
Neither
But Fate for now is just better
How so??
mobs die too fast atm
^
Easier, not buggy
^
Not prone to as many mistakes as DA
I'm so hyped for the announcement that ER is fixed and now properly works with Deathstalker's Marks and Darkest Night (SOON HOPEFULLY)

I made a pin for crafted gear, and then no one read it, so I also made a bot command, and now we spam that too
It’s just doomed
im having fun with DS even if its bugged
Like I can 100% gurantee you there are people running around playing DS and doing less dps than they would on FB just because they play it terribly or don't know about the bugs
no doubt
Looking forward to seeing that in the patch notes by the end of the expansion
LOL
They go "but ds is like 5% ahead so why play fb"
And proceed to fail to apply a single mark during a dungeon
xD
"but top m+ player is playing without a trace"
Its gonna be something 100%
I fear for those that are going to have to deal with that
Easy 2 step process for m+ players:
- This hero talent sims higher so I’m playing it
- Without a trace is utility, fuck the sims they’re inaccurate anyway

Win any argument with just two steps
more stealth !!!!!!! 
Blizzard cooks up these fun and exciting new trees with meaningful choices that fundamentally alter how you play your class and your tree is just another cold blood
More stealth = better gamer
tank*
i can remember that part of your video
ambush? nobody uses that
Whoever is fixing our hero talents is definitely stealthed right now
The dev is without a trace
Last one... how far into kingsbane is the second shiv?
8s
Neat, think i cracked the spec then xD time to sit at a dummy
i dont really like deathstalker in dungeons (maybe it'll be more fun in m+ im not sure) but i'll prolly run it for raid
i just like assassination so fatebound not adding anything isnt really an issue

Itll be fun once stuff stops dying after 2 seconds
Surely
There are some parts where im reaching 3mil dps in hcs though
i just really dislike the 7 point envenom thing and also reprimand as a concept
even if it wasnt buggy
but yeh
Like, the first room of meadery, and thats with bad misclicks
Assassination is pretty good for short pulls because sudden demise is so crazy
disagree
What makes ds shocking, is when you chainpull into a boss, and vanish is on cd...
Is it normal that my ER doesnt prock deathstalker stacks when its lower than 5 ?
having your mark already decided from the very first gcd means every possible source of singular focus damage is going to that target
Feel like i just dont have hero talents
and you arent wasting some bleed damage on other mobs as the mark moves around
7 is higher than 5 so it's obviously better /s
!dn @regal kiln
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.
yeah it pains me to waste cp to force envenom but i got the hang of it now so im just doing it autopilot kinda lol

read the other messages i sent after 4 my reasoning
ty sir
Np
obv that doesnt really apply as much when youre just cycling DN for 99% of the dungeon but still
the enchant for the weapon is the raid one in the guides , thats why im asking pre raid ^^
your options when refreshing bleeds in that case are either to tab target and move the mark around (suboptimal) or not tab at all and lose IC value (suboptimal)
it would feel way worse
having upkeep on dsm is low key awful gameplay in hc, m+ it might work, as you can think more ahead and save your reapplies for next pack, but in hc, suddenly a warrior exuctes a target and i lose my hero talent
or at least make ambush have the effect of subterfuge by default
CB talent says "next ability" but tooltip says Envenom?
This is weird that it doesnt
!plater
Is it a bug?
as i swear ambush should be able to be used in sub
The subterfuge tooltip literally says that abilities the require stealth can be used after existing stealth, but ambush literally doesnt xD
uh, yes
uh oh
you are gonna get in real big trouble if you take that talent point
If you take Fatebound, there's a point in there which makes CB only apply to Envenom. I guess it updates the tooltip when you take it, may be why
Yeah ignore me there was in wrong spec xD

is deathstalker objectively better in ST or can i go easy mode fatebound and sleep on bosses?
just noticed this lol thx
!hero you can play either, promise. The tree that keeps you playing and enjoying your time is better

It's all viable.
Unless it's outlaw. 
coin flip go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
ill try fate and see in that case xD
priory trink and arakara trink acquired, I now own 1 of all the heroic trinks in case of nerfs lmaoooo, call me me anything but unprepared XD
priory trink? why would you want that?
2 min CD???
Yeah but m0 comes next week and youll just have to get it again xD
Is Deathmark not having any interaction with ER intented or a bug? I see it is on the bug list but just curious if it was confirmed a bug or intentional?
Trickster is good for sub. Trickster and Deathstalker have different profiles for Sub. It is considered good where it's good
i believe DS sims better in all content but yeah they're so close you can really do whatever you enjoy

idk my sims show arakara and honey bee trinket
No confirmation but it being intentional would make deathstalker an unbelievably pathetic design failure
way above the rest
why is fatebout all of a sudden trendy again ? what happened ?
bec ds broken
Is it?
deathstalker bugs and low difficulty of heroic make it not fun
ppl tired of bug
for lots of people
ds would be cool if hc mobs didnt die in 3 seconds of ramp
Is there a good secondary enchant for weps until raid drops?
I don't get what you mean with "but the 3rd cp or something" regarding Echoeing Reprimand
i run crit , mast enchant idk if its right but its cheap for now
anyone feel like they have a good keybind for garrote nd rupture. bound to 1 and 2 rtn but feels akward tabbing
1 garrote 3 rupture for me
Rupture has been Shift+R for me since vanilla
my keybinds are so bad
I used to pvp, so spenders went on 1 for easy movement
Imagine not being able to press mutilate when you need to strafe to the right
but i cant change now
Spammers need to be on 3, as im using qe to rogue shuffle duh
Fan of knives = shift+e
JESUS
Everyone stop
will make each other sick
and yeah i agree there, rotationals shouldnt be on Shift
xD
ye
Thats crazy shift e for fan
whats a rotational
I want to watch you play
how you zoom
Fan is shift r and ct is shift f
Mods, can we have a keybind chat ban please before we all throw up at each others keys
mhh thats not so bad
Guys which WA you suggest for assassination?
but i need to watch my b11 ass

those that crafted 590 gear, should i worry about embellishments?
wild question, rekcon its ever worth macroing tea with kingsbane?.... might crazy take
It is not
It’s an option yes
That looks like plater, not weakaura. In Plater settings you can filter
@balmy condor for deathstalker is it worth holding Kingsbane for 3-4 seconds after hitting Deathmark to get a few seconds of lingering darkness at max kingsbane stacks?
yes its in plater but i cant find the settings , please help
apart from just feeling bad, how much of a dps loss is the ER bug for deathstalker? Is it gonna be something noticeable
Let me try again, as apparently i cannot read, Its probably a fairly decent dps loss atm, as if you think about itm you coukld be blasting 2 extra stacks, per ER, but idk
Or at least... consuming the stacks faster..
@slate crown ill dm uu
is there a huge dps difference between fatebound and deathstalker?

I mean its not like I went out of my way to get em, but spamming heroic for valorstones, naturally led me to getting them all.
does authority of storm's nature damage scale with the 30% buff from lingering darkness for deahtstalker and does that make it worth using?
just switched to assa and found out we have 300 energy cap
hello, new at assa wich is the main difference on fatebound vs deathstalker :o?
What trinkets are you guys using right now, im having a hard time replacing Ashes of embersoul. I have a Sacbrood on and I've been exeperimenting with other trinkets from heroics but nothing feels quite as good

gotta use the candlestick rbo
mage be nimble, mage be quick, mage use the big haste power of the candlestick (to do 3 million dps st)
Haste is useless. Can’t even make my gcd lower
I was using ashes for the 10k on use agi, is that not just better than candlestick?
haste lets u think faster
the faster u think the faster existential dread sets in and u get to capitalize on that extra psychic damage
that sounds alot like something else that i heard of.
Entropy comes for us all
Nice. Didn’t miss my daily existential crisis post in #assa
a lot of things sound like a lot of other things because the english language is a collection of words that have been strung together infinite times for infinite possibilites
at what target count do we stop caring about SnD?
never
more attacks = more poisons = more aoe from caustic spatter (especially the kingsbane synergy)
What's a good haste % that I should be aiming for?
youre naturally maintaining snd by spamming envenom when theres nothing else to do
its not like old versions of sin where you would mash CT as that button has no instant damage anymore
