Oh no

warped moon
#

ok ty

spice spire
#

A lot of them are overlaps

deep sorrel
#

fair, mb in that case, post 10hr shift so words don't always come across through text as intended

warped moon
#

ohh ok

spice spire
#

Just find which one works best with you

frigid copper
#

oh LOL

warped moon
#

ill try just the whispyr ones then ty (and ty whispyr)

hoary apex
#

Is the free stealth from NE racial a dps boost for sin or does it not matter too much?

Sex is great and all but have you ever farted out a stomach ache?

frigid copper
#

Whisp - for sin fundamentals, which of your videos do you recommend starting out with? There's so many on your channel lol

#

Luxthos Devlin LE and Whispyr have a weak aura that’s good for cd + st tracking.
Whispyr and Cev both made good players for multi target

iron carbon
#

All wa / plater are banger

#

Just take your fav

wind falcon
#

@balmy condor is your plater profile supposed to flash bang you when you have the cursor over your target?

balmy condor
wind falcon
#

oh lordy gimme

deep sorrel
#

seems like there is white number underneath then yellow above

frigid copper
wind falcon
deep sorrel
#

oh i c

balmy condor
#

But they should work

#

And then from there the long-ass ones have everything for rn

warped moon
#

do you ever just want to be the very best, like no one ever was

balmy condor
#

But gonna make shorter ones when I have time

iron carbon
#

Btw Whispyr, did you check the Cev hack for spatter debuff on plater?

vestal cliff
#

Whispyr are you EU or NA?

frigid copper
balmy condor
#

The problem was my buffs were center aligned, so hiding them causes the jitter

#

I updated it last night to left align and hide caustic/mark

#

We’ll see how that goes

#

I might want to bring the mark back

iron carbon
#

I mean, wasn't he using à mod to order it?

balmy condor
#

The order doesn’t matter

iron carbon
#

He need to order it last at least

#

Can you share the mods?

#

If possible, ofc. If not, I'll search by myself another day

orchid cedar
#

@balmy condor so are you going sub for this prog or are you giving Assa a try?

spice spire
#

But then cuties like whispyr exist

warped moon
#

aww

spice spire
sturdy stirrup
vestal cliff
#

Is sub better for prog? And if yes why?

balmy condor
# iron carbon He need to order it last at least

My auras were centered, so if I have gar/rup, one is left of center, one is right of center. If I add caustic, now it’s 3 auras, so left goes left, rup goes into center, caustic goes right. So everything shifted. And then you hide caustic, so now it’s back to 2, so everything shifts back.

That’s why I left-aligned it in the newest update, cause if you tack on another buff at the end, the others don’t shift, so you get the full illusion that they’re hidden without any of the jitter

balmy condor
#

It’s not prepped

iron carbon
spice spire
#

What about outlaw whispyr

#

Thoughts on outlaw PogO

balmy condor
#

Unironically more prepped than sub

spice spire
#

I know

#

That’s why I asked

vestal cliff
#

I always thought assa is the best for prog because the dot dmg ticks when you are not on the boss xD

iron carbon

Uptime argument gooseSTARE

iron carbon

But it's more complicated than that

#

If I put 500k dps for 30 sec then 0 for 30 sec, it's better than 300 k for 30 sec then 100k for 30 sec

spice spire
#

That means you don’t have deathstalker marks

#

Hello?

runic hinge
#

Don’t tell me how to play

I need my buff bar full

I wish I could show you the amount of threads I’ve uh

#

sin gear is the most flexible

spice spire
#

I’ve showed a lot of people how to play ICANT

warped moon
#

i am scared to do m+. what if i miss an interrupt dracthyr_fear

spice spire
#

Hands no worry tho

spice spire
iron carbon
#

And you get flamed

warped moon
#

well as long as its just me!

spice spire
#

Also it’s okay to mess up. You learn and move forward

glass spade
#

If we can garrote rupture, garrote rupture, and garrote rupture 3 times during IC is it a DPS gain to get the bleeds on 7 total targets or once we get it in 5 is it best to just start pumping ST

spice spire
#

And if people are mean? Fuck em.

sturdy stirrup
#

and leave party

#

like a chad

spice spire
#

Ur so real for that

iron carbon
glass spade
#

My tank was pulling big last night and I was able to get the bleeds on 7 targets during the IC window so that’s what I was doing

spice spire
#

Big pulls also juice for IC because you can silence casters SmileDog

iron carbon
glass spade
#

I was typically staying in stealth and letting him pull big and then shadow stepping in and applying bleeds to 7 targets

iron carbon
#

"GG no interrupt" leave group

sturdy stirrup
#

dont forget to report them for their names

spice spire
#

So you’re just kind of fucked out of IC windows

#

Like the big city of threads pull after first boss

iron carbon
glass spade
#

Yeah that’s been my biggest takeaway is how much it hurts when you lost your DSM and can’t reapply it without burning your only vanish

spice spire
#

Well

#

Depends on the tank

#

Because the toxic aoe is pretty close to beginning of the pull

deep sorrel

If you have someone that can CC the first one

You’re gucci

unless you get hit by it randomly disappearing that is

#

then its gg

But it’s a heroic so

iron carbon

iron carbon

Tricks and spread dot while running

glass spade
#

If darkest night finishes a target do we lose DSM?

iron carbon
#

They put a fix to avoid that

#

But I didn't test yet

spice spire
plucky fable
#

hello, someone can help me with a tricks of the trade macro D:?

haughty flicker
#

killing an enemy with a dn envenom still loses the mark

quiet oar
iron carbon
glass spade
iron carbon
#

It will create a macro that put tricks on tanks by default

haughty flicker
iron carbon
haughty flicker
#

and if you cant then you probably have something else nearby to envenom instead

haughty flicker
#

thats just one that i know still exists

spice spire
#

I got one eaten last night

#

Don’t think it was fixed

iron carbon
#

They put delay between damages and buff consumption

#

So of you kill with your envenom, you keep DN buff

#

Or something like that

haughty flicker
#

yeah thats definitely not what happens in practice

#

at least not when i tested it right after patch

#

now im paranoid ive been spreading misinformation though

spice spire
#

It didn’t happen last night in the dungeon I ran

#

Lost stack SmileDog

#

Will test tn

iron carbon
#

@normal mist explain yourself plz

normal mist
#

You read it correctly

#

for further info annoy whispyr

iron carbon
#

Thanks

normal mist
#

(im trying to find where i read it atm)

haughty flicker
#

im happy to be wrong then

#

maybe i just was dumb and tested it before the patch was applied or something

iron carbon
cobalt bison
#

on my quick sims using the ST build the bot is not using any FoK, guide says to use it tho, whom do I trust ? I tested both sim with & without lust

haughty flicker
#

wait not

iron carbon
#

whispyr's words

haughty flicker
#

it definitely just didnt work

normal mist
#

As you can see, i'm the king of being right

haughty flicker
#

so its not consistent

iron carbon
#

Cause I had the information from you

normal mist
#

And i had it from the Gods themselves

cobalt bison
normal mist
iron carbon
#

That's how you call Whispyr?

normal mist
#

TLDR if you play VV, you never FoK

cobalt bison
#

ah okay mb

normal mist
#

to consume the buff

cobalt bison
#

Yes, I didnt uncheck it on wowhead. thanks

normal mist
#

No problem

waxen oyster
#

i should do the weeklies

#

only did theater one so far

normal mist
waxen oyster
#

kind of sucks its hourly and cant do it on 2-3 characters like you could with feast in the same one

haughty flicker
#

it seems to save the mark the majority of the time

iron carbon
haughty flicker
#

but ive had it twice now on random killing shit that it hasnt worked

#

maybe its just unlucky and a poison/bleed tick is killing at the same time or something

iron carbon
#

Maybe

haughty flicker
#

definitely better than it was for sure

iron carbon
#

0.2 sec delay is few and big in the same time

haughty flicker
#

oh i see the issue i think

#

if you have dn active and accidentally apply mark with ambush, then kill the mob with the dn envenom, you lose the mark and dn

#

which is like, an incredibly niche issue that would only come from misplaying in the first place anyway so

iron carbon
#

This class is so bugged

frigid copper
#

is there an easy way of incorporating the plater stuff into existing platers?

#

or is it just an all or nothing typically?

iron carbon
#

I think you can copy some parameters

#

Like mobs colors

#

Or buff tracking

frigid copper
#

what's the main thing, poison tracking?

runic hinge
#

Bleed tracking

iron carbon
#

Garrote, rupture, spatter and marks imo

#

I track CT on my WA I assume that if my main target got it, all others got it too

#

Spatters and marks are for coloring nameplate

frigid copper
#

I see... Trying to get bits and pieces in settings to figure out what is what lol

which quest is that?

runic hinge
frigid copper
#

I typically try and bind to builder/spender/upkeep/smallcd/majorcd but jesus it's so many haha

#

especially reading through the aoe rotation rn, and there's a lot of things going on

cobalt sphinx
#

it's more important to understand the general idea, which is spread bleeds then maximize spatter

frigid copper
#

oh god... stealth bar to do as well

clever sapphire
#

Stealth bar = normal bar but with ambush instead of mutilate

frigid copper
#

do we not keep ambush on normal bars for procs?

clever sapphire
#

Nah mutilate turns to ambush on proc

frigid copper
#

oh

warped moon
#

so to maximize spatter i am like, tab-mutilate-tab-mutilate?

balmy condor
#

spatter is limit 1

devout mist
#

Nonono

clever sapphire
#

Unless you are crazy like me and still use ambush on a seperate keybind from the days where it didnt auto turn

warped moon
#

oh i didnt realize it had a limit ok

devout mist
#

We are not playing bfa unholy here

balmy condor
#

yeh you're meant to pick a target and slam envenoms into it

warped moon
#

okie dokie

spice spire
devout mist
#

When to tea kappa

frigid copper
#

so for maintenance we have garrote/rupture/slice and dice... and in AoE also track crimson tempest/caustic splatter?

clever sapphire
#

Slice is cast once and forget it exists, rest yes

frigid copper
#

got it. snd cast and forget.

spice spire

snd lengthens with envenoms

warped moon
spice spire
#

You got this homie BearSaluteL

warped moon
#

envenom makes it last longer!

#

usually im a healer 😅

clever sapphire
#

Envenom is your main finisher, unless you manage to not cast a single envenom for like 50 seconds you wont have to worry about slice

balmy condor
devout mist
#

How do u go from healer to rogue kekdog

#

Who lied to u

spice spire
#

Maybe they wanted to be a rogue

devout mist
warped moon
#

i like the stealth sound

frigid copper

I went from caster-only to trying to pick this up lol

devout mist
#

Rogues are born not made

clever sapphire

Wasnt there a guy here today that i insta blocked, but i still read him complaining about a healer? Maybe we found our healer

frigid copper

lol

spice spire

haha

spice spire
#

I’m not one to judge

spice spire
#

I healed too at one point

balmy condor

I healed only once

#

i pugged the whole way 💀

spice spire
#

What a gamer HOLY

#

Pugging is heck

warped moon
#

it was very bad for my psyche haha

clever sapphire
#

Pugging is the worst, yet i still only pug

spice spire
#

Yeah my mental boomed in sl too

#

But that was Covid compared to the game

warped moon
#

i would be like "hi i have soa++14 just looking for +15 to finish my achievement" and theyd be like "name not blue. name pink."

spice spire
#

Wasn’t hpal kinda insane until 9.2?

clever sapphire

My mental was close to booming when we had a 5% fyrakk wipe cause the bm hunter got hit by a frontal with a seed pepeclown

yes and no

spice spire

#

imagine not being rsham in shadowlands

spice spire

You weren’t venthyr were you

warped moon

people only cared about rsham up until a streamer made a video

spice spire

Ah

warped moon

and then people only cared about my hpal lol

warped moon

Even tho for the average pig resto sham was better

spice spire
#

Kyrian cranked too

clever sapphire

#

and they were both fine tbh but mald and the fairy one were not too good

#

even though passive, why is spatter soooo satisfying

spice spire

#

Well our officers bullied 2 devs into augs

tired gull

if i wanted bf i would just play pirate

So my +2 is covered

Got the augs in house kekdog

You dont even get to spatter in a good group

!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

Whichever armor pieces you feel like

Dont craft now

clever perch

crafting with lfr shit crests

I mean in that case I'd craft the dagger+patch any day

#

If you wanna craft right now

i wanna craft right now with lfr crests

im kinda crafting all gear except the 584 gear u get from rep

Hello !
i'm looking for some weak aura, do s1 got a clean pack? mine currently look like this but i'm missing a lot of the new stuff (got them since like bfa)

velvet vault
#

which trinkets are the best ones right now ?

#

is shadowed essence trinket better right now ?

heavy sentinel
#

so my mplus kings I dont like pressing KB or DM in trash packs cause i like to have them up for bosses but i feel like this may be an overall loss. Should i just send it whenever i can deo the caustic dmg or is it good to hold for bosses?

haughty flicker
#

all of these are good to either use or take inspiration from

dim brook
#

thanks m8, gonna try them

robust axle
heavy sentinel
#

but im always hesitant to push it for trash

robust axle
#

If you get a full KB off you press it on trash 🙂

haughty flicker
#

i mean unless you have an actual route planned out in m+ you're probably just pressing kb on cd on the biggest dude

a bad kb is better than no kb at all

strange python

so are you guys using radiant power?

Aint using anythinh until I get relevant daggers

But it would be Radiant Power, yes

warped moon
#

hey what are my stat weights for assassination?i guess i want mastery and haste?

robust axle
#

You have to sim your character to get the answer to that question my man

warped moon
#

seems like mastery is pretty good

robust axle

Generally its Crit > Mastery > Haste

yes on ym actual detail ingame it does like 1.3%

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.

I have a law rogue in my guild talking about how OL is amazing in ST and will be a top spec in raid. How is sin looking against OL in ST on the sims? I know it's way early but just curious.

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.

in draenor I was capable of assassination and subtlety. Now when I try sub I feel like I don't know what to do. And outlaw even moreso since they reworked us out of combat. Maybe i'm just old and can't learn new things

glad i like assassination though

Is it worth to upgrade more than 580 ?

#

in the opener, if the first ER doesn't land us on the charged point, do we muti to 5+ before the envenom still?

god landing on 6 CP and having to muti again when you have darkest night up feels horrible

It sure does

There is a solution

when your 6th cp is anima charged and you have to mut again wowreally

Embrace the coin

so priority is DN > ER > DsM proc

I've been like sending envenom when I land on the ER point when I have DN up

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

real pike

but ER points are prio over 5+ when the mark is active

Weird overlaps if you’re not tracking where you can have marks + dn

Everything is explained there

celest helm
#

is there any reason to hold onto upgrading now? I heard someone say theres no reason to upgrade gear currently wasnt sure

fair coyote
#

another stupid vanish question from me: on the second vanish when we are supposed to do it before cooldowns do we clip garrote or delay cooldown to hit the pandemic window?

normal mist
#

You can upgrade gear up to 580 because that does not use crests

wintry pagoda
#

youll get new gear on m0 week so prolly not worth to spend crests yet, yes

normal mist
#

theres no point in upgrading heroic dungeon items above 580 because in m0 dungeons you'll drop way above that and this way you save valorstone for when they actually matter.

#

~~so the upgrades you did on items you're now replacing for higher level that will now need those same crests, are lost ~~ I was wrong and this is false

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
