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.

Can i read the patchnotes somewhere?

#

Could somebody explain the logic of crimson tempest to me in a janky pull scenario where groups of mobs keep getting randomly pulled mid pull? Is it good to apply a fresh tempest every time a few more elites enter the fight, or is that just a CP waste that is better spent on envenom/caustic? it doesn't seem to have a standard rule of thumb like 5 ruptures, but i think i've been overdoing it a bit

#

really new to rogue but i may need to play it for my guild a few questions

#

A. is it just amp/deadly poison all the time do you ever use instant?
B. should i always refresh rupture/crimson at max combo points or do higher levels not do more dps?
C. when exactly do i use thistle tea? do i save it for cds for the mastery buff or do i just chug them as i get oom on energy?

earnest remnant
#

all of those are answered in the guides

#

does casting it at lower than 5 mean it does less dps or is it just the duration and having to spend combo points on it sooner sucks?

#

ie if a mob in m+ is 30-40% is it okay to send a 2-3 combo point rupture for scent of blood etc or do i need to build to <5

desert cove
#

generally you should only rupture on 3 to 4 if you need energy, or are trying to get ruptures out on multiple targets

chilly merlin
#

oh okay i think i was under the presumption that rupture was a lot higher % of your damage profile in aoe than it really is

severe sparrow
#

why tf do i feel like my mark disappears sometimes and then i cant get it back on

#

just spent half a boss fight trying to put it back on the boss but ???

No you should get darkest night

But sometimes that doesn’t happen

Now that you know SND changes it feels shit to use it feelscryman

thinking about race changing to vulp...

#

The future patch notes, did they actually change anything with CT?

flint gulch
#

what still bothers me to this day is that sns is still a active instead of a passive skill

#

So seeing the patch notes for 11.0.5 (and they can change) im starting to become more convinced that ER not counting as 7cp for darkest night and DSM is intentional.

timid stratus
#

which is ridiculous, given the wording. i just wish they'd tell us either way

shell kettle
#

Likely a balance issue

But honestly they should just balance it around it working with ER because having to actually max your cp is trash gameplay

timid stratus
#

also it's super weird to have darkest night essentially "penalize" you for picking up the extra combo point talents

vernal prism
#

can i ask a stupid question? i know staying above 150 energy for sanguine blades is better than envenom spamming, but i cant always hit 5+ cp for the envenoms to clip them, should i be using <5 just to clip or let envenom drop?

fresh coyote
#

Anyone know what the best ST Assa tree looks like? On Wowhead Whispyr guide says take Arterial Precision and Shrounded Suff, but on his video he takes Dashing Scoundrel and Tiny Toxic Blade. DS & TTB sims higher. Any reason to go with the first options?

nice SND and Tea changes

#

With FB, you need to keep Energy above 150 for SB.

novel star
#

its good if u used it on cd or whatevs tho

#

cus it just removes da button

#

and snd is awesome tru

timid stratus
#

yeah, tea change should have been a choice node between the old a new functionality

#

for me, that's the whole reason for choice nodes - have one that's easier and one that's harder but can give you a edge if you use it properly

# vernal prism fatebound

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.

cant understand why theyve added the tea auto proc

to alleviate bloating and pressing more buttons

it's probably one of the bigger problems blizzard are facing with the class in general

hopefully they work on outlaw next

outlaw got some rly nice stuff

#

they can now mindlessly press bte

#

and refresh it with vanish/stealth

lusty narwhal
#

Are people playing sub or sin mostly for this raid you think

#

seeing a lot of sub around

rotund oak
#

that breaks the bte bug and makes outlaw kinda fine

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.

i can see sin jsut dominating

#

but i guess it depends on the heroic tuning

I dont think itll dominate

balmy condor

I don’t get what tea has to do with kingsbane though

lusty narwhal

Invig Shadowdust makes me wanna kms

Probably the mastery % that comes with tea but you can still hit tea if you want lol

robust axle

I mean at least Shadowdust is "easier" now than it was last expac

bright dew

It’s not like the button is going away

It’s like that but two talents

so we dont have to press SnD anymore? and also, does that mean thistle tea is passive now or is it the same as it is now but also procs under 50 energy if you have charges

Auto tea is dangerous if you dont pool outside of shiv

not rly,its 50 energy,ive read it wrong as well

It would be nice if you could toggle it

rotund oak
#

50 energy is whatever

balmy condor
#

50 energy is not whatever

Auto tea is dumb, it should be a toggle talent. Let us pick one or the other.

balmy condor

But yeah you just pool

rotund oak

yeah thats what i meant,we dont rly go there,we just pool

Do those blue post go live on the 20th or soon

I don't understand the Twist the knife change can someone explain in more detail? Does it mean you have even more poison application chance when overlap happens?

wait, will that possibly enable some "dont ever drop bellow 50energy or you waste a tea charge" gameplay

or is it kinda w/e cus we will have a charge for kingsbane/Dm+kingnsbane windows anyway

novel star
#

it would be bad to go under 50 ya

#

but not like ruin ur life bad

#

just bad

Hopefully they revert the tea change. Or they turn it into choice node

Why not tick at 110

If you mut at 100 it’ll drop you to 40 and insta tea

rip yeah

#

pls

royal lantern
#

that change should be a toogle/chose 1 node lmao

#

its horrible

slate crown
storm hedge
#

Choice node for a completely passive vs current tea would make more sense than this change

onyx linden
#

Why would auto tea ever be something to put in? DId they see people complaining about button bloat or something and thought that was the best way to combat it? So dumb

slate crown
#

People have been complaining about button bloat for a long time

#

on many classes, but rogue has gotten complaints

#

I do not think this is the answer

onyx linden

yeah I guess, and they did it a good way with slice and dice

but the tea thing

so are assassination sims correct? or is assassination daamge higher than sims be saying?

couldnt they make the thistle tea talent a choice node for a versiont hat auto procs at 50 and one that doesnt?

#

like what they did for monks charge talent

most of all, it sets a precedent for bigger changes being indipendant from major season patches

Why can’t they just make tea a choice node and let players pick auto proc or not

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

#

@grim jay but hey
SnD is basically gone now

thats atleast a win

willow vine
#

Yeah

novel star
#

you still have to spend a point for it

brave gyro
#

and you had to spend to have 1 shadowstep b4

novel star
#

?

brave gyro
#

oh that was old tree thing, nvm 😄

novel star
#

thats not true one is just a passive

#

yea

#

you used to like

#

in 10.1 or whatever

grim jay
#

Nothing can get me excited about those patchnotes until I played with that auto tea shit and it didnt annoy me

brave gyro
grim jay
#

I mean it would be a skill issue probably, but still

novel star
#

you spend a point for +1 charge

#

shadowstep and hook are default talents

brave gyro
#

yeah, so what's the problem?

novel star
#

currently shadowstep is on the tree meaning sub/sin get 2 shadowsteps for 1 point and outlaw gets 1 hook 1 shadowstep

brave gyro
#

before you spend the talent to get ONE charge

novel star
#

the change does nothing on sin and sub

#

but gives outlaw 2 hooks

#

instead of 1/1

weak cypress
#

Doing putting a point into it give you 2

novel star
#

no

#

one shadowstep is just a base spell

#

since 10.2

#

the talent adds +1

brave gyro
#

i lowkey like that Outlaw gets 2x hooks instead

novel star
#

yeah its nice

#

was kinda stupid they had both

Could we theoretically macro all our energy spenders to not cast unless over 50+X energy cost of spender haha?

novel star

no

willow vine
#

Idk if it’s the best choice but I bleed things first as I feel it’s slightly more important

grim jay
#

Depends on the status of the living mobs that got pulled into the next pack.PogO

novel star
#

thats a whispyr question pepeLa but my gut feeling is you would mark first to get singular focus rolling after rupture sniping as usual to have enough energy to afford it

Probably the worst way to introduce skill expression

royal lantern

its controversial considering it also gives mastery buff

i mean, i get the idea

its for the "button bloat" people

and it fits there

they didnt thought about the other implications

and how it will affect the gameplay in general

I mean the toggle approach is pretty obvious imo

If they make it a choice node between passive/active everyone’s happy

YES. This also, we're all crying in outlaw about this

bronze pike

oh nooo

no acri

#

noooo unplayble spec

elder prism
#

We've just had it since forever, for it to be taken away feels like a core part of outlaw was ripped out. Definately manageable but takes some getting used to

grim jay
#

If the only bad point is no acro

#

Then its fine

grim jay
bronze pike
#

it sounds like

elder prism
#

Which was mainly outlaw and feral

bronze pike
#

auto range extenders was a bad idea to begin with

#

and cover a ugly dungeon design issue

#

and makes every spec that doesnt have a aut oextender lag behind

round nexus
#

can't really compare outlaw to any other melee in that regard

bronze pike
#

sure i can

elder prism
#

most outlaws myself included are just pissed at how buggy the class is currently

bronze pike
#

theres like 3 other melee specs that rely on uptime

cerulean peak
#

Make daggers have 5yd and everything else 8yds #lore #shortdaggers

bronze pike
#

and fall off hard when they get any downtime

elder prism
#

the acro sucks, but its minor in comparrison to BTE/stealth bugs

bronze pike

the actual issue is that sub

has bladeflurry now

I am not sure I'm interpreting the Cut to the Chase change correctly. Is it that we don't have any buttons to press there or that once we press Slice and Dice at any CP, it comes as if it was just fully refreshed?

you are literally drowning in energy during dm openers

But why would they do this, I mean it maybe helps the noobs that dont even click tea but it makes it more complex in a way to watch your energy not hitting 50 when you dont want it to trigger

if you use a trinket to break your stealth thats never given subterfuge

crippling can be annoying but it is a damage loss yeah

grim jay
#

And people will take it as crazy tech

novel star
#

oh like taking dtb and only applying one nonlethal?

clever sapphire
#

saying its a dps loss is kind of a missinformation so telling others to run 3 poisons will just make it harder to explain shit

ew

solution

#

let us play both numbing

and atro

crippling in cleft so everything is a mile behind in the darkness 👍

just play bleed and now you cant apply 4 poisons ez

but

iron carbon
# grim jay Someone with actual m+ presence? Not trying to be toxic there btw Also I person...

Nha, I mean, 3 people in the last 12 hours are speaking about using only 3 poisons, I guess so they don't want run crippling cuz it brings nothing for current content.
Crippling save your ass when you need to kite, that's it. And nobody hit trashes when tank gather pull in M+.
In HCs, everyone hit when he can and tanks do not need to kite. So, imo, it brings more dps loss than up.

bronze pike

nah

i dont lose aggro ever once cds are blown

You just talked about heroics which I ignore because its irrelevant content and stuff dies before you even reach the next pack with or without a slow

you press thunderclap

Sorry I have another question that might seem stupid. I read about energy pooling and just wanted to confirm that when I'm not in my burst window, the best thing to do is cap energy and then chain envenoms until I can't anymore? Rinse, repeat.

copper moth
#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.
