blackhand was a hunter stack fight
we got knocked down
no one, you left a hole that cant be filled by anybody
then just stepped
that too
but melee were punished
@royal lantern
you need rogues for survivability
I do love filling holes
Play meta or else bozo
I also love caulking
not in front of the kids
while i held back my "dropped a big load" and "doing laundry" joke
Ngl low tier CE is just unfun
I just want us to be out of the running for PI cause feelsbad
concerning if you see both together
Lmao
sus
you get people pretending minmax is required
How do I rogue though
while also not playing with players that can perform at that level
I hate this screenshot so much
ngl its perfect
Commas matter for
it literally cut it just right
A lot of raidleaders could improve so many different things for better success, but they dont have the knowledge/experience/understanding to do so. So they pick the low-hanging fruit to "improve" the raid, and that more often than not means "lets bring the 'op classes'"
checks notes
Push notifications on a class discord server
It’ll often have some players min/maxing wondering why the others won’t
Love, them young... ?

push notifications for the pet thread
A lot of resentment there
is more than acceptable
is feral complex nowadays
yeah thats the one time its allowed
havent played feral in a hot minute
Love them, young Timothy

feral has always been bottom of the barrel too
Think simcraft will update rogue sims at some point
ngl I think we wouldve pretended there was none in that case
Feral has had a few good tiers
I also love feral aoe a bit.
Or how it was in df. Haven’t touched in tww
if youre playing druid why would you play feral
I hate you
For all the gaslighting
Damn
Because balance and resto are dog
i can't think of a spec that deserves to be ass more than boomie
Fire mage

okay but fire is actually fun
it has always been blizzard favo dps along with mage
Fire is so much fun
thats a hot take
considering boomkin has been dogshit for like
6 tiers now
boomkin was good like
1 and a half tiers
cuz venthyr
not even in m+ last xpac?
Sludgefist convoke though
i didnt really play dragonflight
Boomkin was good until aug priest mage took over i heard
and then it was just
boomie's always been kinda okay in key i think, even when it's "bad"
aug/mage/shadowpriest for the rest of the expac
It was “good” but it had no kick, it could always live one-shots though with bear form
kicks are relevant again 
can play evoker if you stock up on illusions
but have to take a break every hour
Do illusions show transmog
the patch was actually so good until aug hit 
idk actually
kicks are relevent until prot pal meta
i'd assume so
Hello! I’m playing Deathstalker and sometimes drop out stealth in dungeons during pulls. This is really frustrating and i’ve been putting points into subterfuge instead of ER. It feels much better but don’t know how viable this is. Do i lose a lot by not picking ER?
Unfortunately, yes. You also don't gain a lot by picking Subterfuge, other than being able to cast Ambush.
The issue will somewhat disappear when the season begins, as mob packs dont die within seconds, so you can actually maintain your Deathstalkers Mark through Envenom, not by having to cast Ambush every pack
just checked, they do keep your transmog
Almost playable 
that'll be 65s for reimbursement
glamour is just the same as the 24hr toy
but rank 3 is like 4-5k a pop rn
yeah they're expensive af atm
Oh are they?
need to get your raid to buy more murloc toys
you can just get a lvl 70 enchanter and make the glees for cheap
i dont think any enchanter is putting their points into the cosmetics spec
so I can probably max guarantee them...
idk if they're actually selling
Probably every enchanter is
The tree pays for itself with knowledge
and then some
and gives you a spare 100 acuity to boot
You go 20 points into that tree because of knowledge and levels yeah
yeah i made the mistake of not doing that immediately on mine
Like it 100% covers its costs in knowledge points, it's wild
it helps with other enchants?
so catching up now
better hope templar doesn't get overtuned in that case, casting shield is discouraged with how wack that hero talent tree is for prot
Not on its own but it is free
and then gives you 100 acuity
which does help other enchants
dont you have to invest the points
Free (10k gold of storm dust)
storm dust 
Storm dust mafia
The points in the tree give you free points back because they give you new recipes, which give you first craft bonuses, which give you more points
greens are just so hard to actually farm
do you go into greens specialization
which give you more recipes which give you more points
The tree gives you more recipes than there are points
guys quick question what is Assa stat prio for ST?
that's why I say it's free
greens were like 200g and t3 dust was 700+
!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
now its way less, but still cheaper than just buying dust outright
depending on server boe costs anyway
i dont even know how to optimize alch on main
went longer flasks first then kinda not sure from there
I think it's really hard to optimize alchemy because it takes so many god damn points to get anything strong
just dont do what i did and accidentally put 10 points into phials
thinking it was flasks
But I think ultimately the most important thing (and this is typically true of most crafting) is pick a path, and stick to it all the way down to the end
to get max crafting for that spec
i got the free soulbound flask on craft thing daily
I intentionally did phials because I'm trying to cover every type of profession thing personally
But it's still so god damn long before I'm going to be able to make profits on any of that because the skill requirements on recipes are so high
yeah its insane
honestly I don't know why alchemy is so tightly gated
it's ridiculous
compared to other profs
Almost everything will have very slim margins even when maxed out
The nature of the free market
well yeah
lets go capitalism
well the idea is to be one of the first
That's how it all equalizes out
Resourcefulnessmaxxing can make you rich though
and abuse the market before it drops
Multicraft for alchemy*
That too
historically multicraft is just strongest when it benefits you
when it doesnt, resourcefulness
the only time resourcefulness is stronger is when multicraft flatly doesn't apply
i read the wowhead post about the guy that made like 12mil using engineering selling 5 star green profession gear
things like that are just start of expac craziness
and happens every start of the expansion
also for tomorrow, m0 difficulty opens, is that for expansion dungeons or s1 dungeons?
Profession gear can still be extremely profitable
yeah last expac i made a few million on engineering making the zapthrottle soul things
just because nobody on my server was making them
ye, i have a feeling wowhead cherry picked the like..... "best seller" version of people who made crazy bank like this
so i overpriced the fuck out of it
not to mention the fact that the market is now "universal" since a LOT of shit is now transferable through the warband
yeah i definitely didnt abuse warbands to find cheap greens
I used the warband to move gold over from my other servers which BASICALLY nullified the cost of buying 4 of the 5 tabs.
this is my to do list for tomorrow. Anything else I should add? My guild raids tuesdays and wednesday so I want to go hard in the paint before we start raid that night.
damn
my to do list is to log on at some point in the afternoon
and maybe do some stuff
Dagger in mists and NW right?
Reddit says do a radiant echo before opening any bountiful key
Bountiful keys will only drop radiant echoes after you have completed an echo
@spice spire i don't know if it's s1 dungeons or expansion dungeons
After the first?
It’s s1 dungeons 99% sure
in that case*
I have ports to the sl so it’s not a huge deal
Grim Batol STONKS
In aoe should I be using fan of knives or mutilate as a combo builder?
first bountiful gives quest, do that then do the rest
but also we just take ilvl over stats right?
so really we should just run everything
!guide would be good to review these for basic questions such as this. Use Fan in aoe

Hey guys, where to use tea charges ? One is in kb window with shiv but rest of them ? deathmark ?
!tea
Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:
- Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
- Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
- Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
- While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
- You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
wtf
afaik this question doesn't matter b/c tea is becoming passive isn't it?
huh
Moroes what are you doing
that doesnt look right lmao
moroes is drunk on the thistle
I can try to fix it in a sec
Moroes is now Demoman
İs it not when below 50 ?
tea will proc below 50 energy, but you can still press the button normally
true, you could be more active about it
thats also like
Tea procs stealth on moroes
2 months away anyway
I think Tea was removed
I AM STILL AN ASSASSIN NEWBIE, i am only still trying to wrap my head around the intricacies of "doing it from behind"
hoping they put the mastery portion somewhere in the kit other than tea then

is that not the rogue themesong? "Rogues do it from behind"
ye it is
channel my inner spy. Would anyone like to share this bottle of 1942 chateaux backstab w/ me?
The answer for the moment (before the next anniversary patch) is "use tea with Shiv if it will not cap energy"
oh yeah we got caught up on the bot not working and never actually answered
lmao
It's ok just don't ask Moroes again for now. He gets really excited about restealths and wants to talk about them that's all he hears when you ask about tea
spill the tea
about restealth??
NO I MEAN THE ACTUAL TEA
TIME TO RESTEALTH
Moroes is a m+ minmaxer andy 😦
I think we haven't done it from behind like the old days in a minute though
this actually reminds me of some really like.... "anime" shit you can do with shadestep
Always hit from behind
Parried in this economy?
Miss me with that
what's the value of bubbling wax vs whetstone is it close enough to justify not spending 50k on wep runes this week? lol
free vs 50k is enough justification for my wallet
unless you're in liquid and immediately pushing mythic raid
They’re doing a lot of testing in tc research rn
Atm it’s looking like it only procs main hand
So it would be mh wax, off hand whetstone
Anyone signing up for team liquid splits ?
Does it still work in mage tower
waxon, waxoff
250k gold
Macro "no offense kid" into your ss
Push up your glasses transmog
in mage tower it seems like you need to reapply it every time it procs
what is the relevance of mage tower in testing wax?
but it also does a fuck ton of damage bc it isnt scaled
At current prices I'd go with nothing over whetstone lol, but I'm poor

I need mage tower as a new sim type
ty guys
i need mage tower to be relevant again
imagine making this super cool relatively challenging content that is universally loved
The amount of white listed/black listed items
Ain’t no way
then only using it one more time to add some recolors
mfw i want to play both sin and outlaw. One loves mast, the other hates mast.
!pooling
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.
so are we now looking to craft boots over belt?
Gw2 had a mage tower kinda deal but there was a bunch of encounters and it was a recurring yearly week long festival in game, was fun
We need that
Well that's just brawlers ig
We need that back
man
i miss brawlpub
every expac i hope it comes back
and it never does
was so fun just hanging out, cheering on randoms who keep dying to the same boss 20 times
iirc they said it will come back in tww
Didn't they very passively say something vague that acknowledged it's existence semi recently ml
Yeah
yeah i remember seeing it mentioned
imo belt over boots
-
belt gets a socket, so if you invest early into the xpac it gains a lot of value
-
world boss drops boots and you can buy a champ track boots from council of dorn at rank 16
im keeping my hopes low until its actually here though
wait, it said under 50%, does it mean energy?
Yeah
Why would we want to stay under 50% energy? Isn't that a dps loss because of sanguine blades?
ok so i'm trying to understand pooling (which in regards to our energy, right?)
So for Deathstalker, the goal is to stay under 50% energy as much as possible no?
Yes and no
I'm trying to balance a bagel and cold brew while typing but there's a talent

The long short is yes
More casts = good
But
You also want to chain your envenom
So if you’re going to lose that
Start pooling
That’s it
i read the bot and followed the link and am now reading about our rotation
explain more plz
So envenom is like our bleeds
Rapid injection increases your dmg
I am getting really good at hitting the right buttons in order and doing beeg numbers (almost hit 2mil yesterday, hit a whopping 1.9mil crit) but still learning the intricacies
So you want to use envenom within the envenom buffs window
To keep it going
If you’re going to let the envenom buff drop because you can’t go on
You start pulling
What I don't get is how staying below 50% energy is better?
Sb damage isn’t a ton
pulling....what?
Pooling
oh
Sorry
so if you let envenom buff drop, you sort of like reset?
ahhhhh the picture is becoming clearer now
yes b/c those are your energy suppliers
THAT much i understand
sanguine blades = you get less energy
deathstalker = you wanna spend energy for envenoms cus envenom does more dmg there
aka you wanna actually spend energy to stay under 50% energy (cus that means you use abilitys) and get the full energy gain
our bleeds dont do that much dmg, and sanguine blades is active during deathmark anyway (and deathmark is the only moment where our bleeds actually do noticable dmg on single target)
does it make sense for you?
so sin rogue has 2 gears
- burst phase full send when you have CDs up
- downtime maintenance phase with envenoms and mutliates while you wait for CDs to come back
its really just "use energy, sanguine blades will be active when it has value"
you're a good rogue dad 
im resisting the urge SO HARD right now
how do i make healthbar in plater glow or change colors when marked by deathstalker. I like how Whispyr does his but i want to apply that to Naowhs plater profile
so hard?! 
Thanks
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: https://github.com/SimCMinMax/WoW-BugTracker/labels/Rogue
so bleeds aren't important b/c of their damage, they're important b/c they give us energy regen
yes

I mean passive damage still good and rupture applies sbs (goat btw) but mainly yeah
is there a consensus on what embellishment to craft coming up? Wowhead still says crit but see a lot of talk of ascendance / elemental
you generate your 5+ cp and wait until envenom is at ~1sec remaining before you use it, and then repeat that
yes yes ofc
and ofc re-apply bleeds when needed
thats your gameplay bettwen kingsbane/kingsbane+DM windows
hmm...i wonder why the heck hekili keeps telling me to deathmark --> kingsbane --> shiv rather than deathmark --> shiv --> kingsbane
during them you just slam on CD
hekili is at least useful at helping me keep my bleeds n shit up.
cus hekili is dogshit and you should delete it rn 
just use a weakaura package for tracking stuff
SUE ME yes i still use training wheels
It’s missing a lot of things for us
Because hekili doesn't get the intricacies of the spec and just thinks "longer cd means slam first"
dude this talent is insane
Just as a guide
if you click thru his plater profiles uhhh mods or scripts i forgot which, you'll find one with a name that sounds reasonable and when you click into it it'll say deathmark. you can export that and then import it into whatever profile you prefer to use
my best friend is a laywer, im gonna get your ass
Which week are we going to be able to catalyst items into set pieces?
week1 and then every 2 weeks
We get one on heroic week
I don't.
GRANTED even following hekili as gospel in heroics n shit, I am still slam dunking 95% of other dps specs.
But I know I still have a lot to learn, hence why i am here
https://wago.io/5FWtjYFgC here is a WA to make the target with DM glow
Adds a nameplate border on your Deathstalkers Mark target. Based on https://wago.io/mvDfXxrt3
It does a lot of ynnecesssry overcapping
That’s actually semi useful
Ty

i will upgrade from Hekili to WA's when I want to take the training wheels off
Not to like...flex or anything but I played fire mage in s3 of DF. If I can understand THAT shit without Hekili, i know I will be able to understand assassin with enough studying.
My simple brain needs things to glow. Glow = okie i attak
do you still jump during cds
Buddy you don't need to be defensive about it lol
so i am very much trying to balance the philosophies of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and "there's always room for improvement"
People were just explaining why hekili was giving you wrong info
it uses simc APIs plus whatever bug updates it needs to make. i dont think hekili is saying anything different than sims, its just trying to turn the API dynamic instead of static like it is in sims.
which i appreciate ❤️
This discord is so friendly and helpful. Other class discords can be a lot more.....hostile?
Ty, will use it ❤️
Wait... we're useful?
90% of the time its just shitposts and feet pic discussions in here.
D:
friendly 
Call that useful
We had someone tell someone to have arsenic for lunch earlier
V friendly 
have wwe settled on a weapon enchant yet (if we're doing M+ and raid)
Yeah the stone cold stunner
i would GUESS one auth of depths and one radiant?
some people find feet pics very useful
Yeah, sub players
Is assa gunna be top spec for raid or to be determined?
show hogs
TBD. No one knows anything
bring the player, not the spec
tbd
some1 having an issue with ambush working all the time?
But we should defo sandbag the first week
a friend can spam ambush as much as he want without stealth
almost definitely going to be tuning at the end of heroic week too
shouldve at least made it like limbus company where the feet reveal has actual lore significance
Each spec has its niche
ours is typically between the 3rd and 4th vertabrae
Sure
You sure he's not a moron who doesn't realize mutilate and ambush are the same button depending on stealth condition?

that's blizzards fault

they should ui profiles per class
no, its pure ambush dmg on details and 2 different binds. even without blindside its the same

is he running subterfuge.....
so confused, why we talking staying under 50% energy when the recommended ST build doesnt take SB

hes hitting mobs and dummies for 1min, all ambush
last best opportunity was mop remix

Best to keep envenom chains
i thought you said weest
ok patrick
maybe thats why wailing caverns is getting timewalking @_@
gonna get me a deviate hatchling
Aren't we gonna craft anything this week ? :/
who is we? you speaking french?
its too bad brd timewalking isnt going to be an 18 boss grindfest
Rogues?
boss rush lets goooo
Depends on rng no?

Are you guys leaning towards fate bound for the raid or death stalker?
death stalker b/c if i go with fatebound now i know my brain will break

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.
FB because i've been playing it the whole time, but DS is slightly better for single target if you can execute it
is it worth crafting almost every slot? do you have enough crests for crafts + upgrades?
to me it's worth it yes
oh thanks, the method one is new
I raid tuesday so wont have time to run m0 or delves before jumping in
the method one is the same as the wowhead one
just reskinned to fit on method's page
eh
@cerulean nest how many crests do you have left?
0
U boys farming them t8 delves to fish hero track gear for the catalyst or nah
What in specific are you looking for that isn't present in the wowhead guide?
nothing in specific tbh, just wanted to see some different ones
how should i explain, uhhmm
fam quick question, once in fight, due to some mechanic we die and the mark is gone, even if we get ressed and vanish on cd, there is no way to apply the mark again until vanish is up right?
for example , for mages, theres a website made by one content creator, which is kinda cool https://www.mage-hub.com
Mage content for World of Warcraft. Guides & Simulations by Toegrinder
huh?
yep
@balmy condor why is this guy writing fanfic about us?
different teachers can make the same content easier to understand depending on how the guide writer and the reader click i suppose
technically i do know at the end the rotation and everything is gonna be the same, but was just skimming around, if thats the word
Seems correct and very frustrating
i think most classes are moving away from class webites, is what ive noticed
yes, that as well
ye its big bummer if vanish is on long cd xD
monk used to have a bunch of stuff but
it's all been condensed and neglected and now it's just wowhead/IV and the discord
Or sometimes you have the 30s buff up, ambush from stealth a new mob, get full combo points and poof it's gone
I understand, and that is fine and makes sense. What is in this discord and on those guides is what we have to offer.
yea, the assa side bar for FAQ also seemed a bit dry
Youtube may have other guides, Whispyr posts stuff to youtube as well if video format is better for you
i forgot we had the side bar stuff here tbh
Buddy if I wanted fanfic I’d just slam him myself
will check, thanks for the info
i know its a personal choice but still curious, gonna play FB or DS for prog?
i mean hc raid
Well yeah, I think it's a fair thing to do though when the information would be essentially the same, written by the same person, which, if you've ever maintained media in multiple places, is an absolute pain in the ass to maintain
So I do not blame Whispyr for doing that
I would not want to maintain both
I'd lose my mind
I haven't touched FB tbh. DS should be more dmg with more things to monitor but I do like it
but text guides dont make as much money
does everyone need to have level 8 delve unlocked or can they join yours tomorrow?
yeah well why havent you liked and subscribed and watched the video the day he posted it?
then it's relevant 
but actually yeah
neither does wow youtube
i could never be a guide writer, would have to quit my day job
have to unlock
how do you unlock them?
do a 4, then a 5, then a 6, then a 7, then 8
true, at the same time its not even needed, they are sufficient as you also stated
aight
U need to complete a t7 before entering any t8
assuming you've done 1-3 already
it doesnt need to be a specific delve,any t7 unlocks all t8 delves

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.

QQ where can i check out the Rouge upcoming changes in game?
whatever u do,dont use ur web browser
think ptr was available as well
sims show energy totals over the course of the fight, seems like you stay below 200 the whole figh
nvm, i don't see the 11.0.5 on there
So staying under 50% to chain as many envenoms as possible while pooling for and using thistle teas for CD's then
Doesn't look like you pool for kingsbane according to sims though, just deathmark
You don't need to pool for DM. DM is free energy
If anyone still needs to do Mage Tower the bubbling wax weapon enchant is not scaled down and does like 40% of your dmg
deathmark is just producing extra energy. since you get your energy from bleeds, and deathmark is duplicating bleeds 
fair enough, didnt play around that at all last xpac lul
Apparently it's PTR 11.0
Hide the secret technique!
what's the benefit of mage tower
good mog
how do i prevent my WA from loading during puzzle frames
fun
Can you trade bubbling wax to alts? Did all 3 rogue challenges in legion. Need the tank n healer one for the book mount
soulbound
mine suddenly stopped procing lol maybe they already fixed it
Feels bad, given the future change to make tea auto proc at 50 energy
idk if theres a way to do exactly what you want but i always just disable ui for those
Don't know about load conditions. You can try vehicle UI load conditions, I don't know if those count, but I always un-load while in a vehicle in my auras
Also you could look at changing the frame strata
Rip
guess i hit hide ui button
frame strata = frame layer, you could set your frame strata to lower than that of the puzzle
but the puzzle also may not be in the standard framestack and may be an object in the world? I don't know
rogue needs complete rework from zero. cp system must go. tons of multiplier must go.
they must optimize new specs as

cp system is useless right now especially for sub rogue. chi holy power is better for me.
What if instead of combo points you had freak points and your finisher was finishing
goon spec when
Anyone crafting spark pieces yet or just waiting? thinking bracers could be worth with the ability to recraft between armor banding, focusing lense or thread?
In theory bracers/belt/boots are good choices

Holy power bad

Dog I’m a red name
Don’t think it’s a controversial take
To enjoy combo points
On the class that has had it since launch
you have secret mod powers
i know u do
Fairly sure it's illegal to enjoy cp
Runes are the absolute worst
Could always be worse
Redirect is a rogue ability, learned at level 81.
Redirect is designed to help rogues deal with changing targets. Redirect will transfer any active combo points to the rogue's current target, helping to ensure combo points aren't wasted when swapping targets or when targets die. In addition, self-buff abilities like [Slice and Dice] will no lon...

You have the secret power to lift our spirits

Carry on
vers gems?
That’s the secret power. It’s George.

So it doesn’t even seem real
Amen
ye i really dont like ww resources right now
ur capped chi capped energy during cds
i can pull any wow forums rogue post
and im kinda stunlocked what to press
and its instant copy pasta material
TIGER PALM
When resources are no longer resources
ye
It feels kinda shit
actually true
i hate that hopo is not a resource
cause builders and spenders are simliar in damage
chi as well
It’s fun to see WW absolutely cranking st tho
i just want resources to matter
Yeah, looks like you just gotta sim it... could end up with vers gems being good
overall i like the rota but yeah it needs less energy/chi
cant believe im saying this but the kyrian covenant ability chi reduction is kinda too much
im sure its multiple issues for monk
It wasn’t that bad
also i think they didnt design ww about stacking haste
like how its multiple issues for paladin
I used to HATE running out of resources, but then once I got the hang of assa pooling I was like HOLY this is a vibe

For some reason they gave ww necro for DF but not woo
I hated necro passionately.
Anyone using LE rogue WA pack ? i want to disable the dark night timer above the 7th combo point
Are we using Bubbling wax over Ironclaw whetstones?
it's 7th combo point glowing in purple is nice in itself but the timer right above it is a bit redundant
wax mh whet oh
I would just like to say that I remembered all on my own to check the pins first. /backpat
prot warrior dmg seems broken
Which kobolds do we pickpocket for Wax?
That’s a long pull
thats overall dungeon dmg
O
Is your shadow priest alive
Much more damage for your tank to do
When your shadow priest is cosplaying as a 2nd healer
im 567 the monk was 584

but that war dmg is crazy

If you want to remove it, you can remove that by going into the Combo Points aura under Resources and deleting Text 1.
I'll be honest with you you're the second person to ask about this, and I'm not entirely sure why I have it in both places. I'm considering just removing it in the default, but for now you can delete Text 1.
wild that WW is more likely to get PI than us
ww rework really made them love haste yeah
i played a little in prepatch, seems sick
honestly
Thank you 🙏 amazing pack btw just discovered it an hour ago
playing around flurry strikes is good
the monk set for the anniversary event has made me seriously consider swapping
Glad you like it 🙂
Being a PI target isen't something you want to stride towards 😭
game a bit to hold on to your energy and blow up on the next big pull all your charges
depends
being pi target is good if you are undisputably the best pi target
if you're like
3rd best
thats ass
Yo, when should I replace Ashes/Grieftorch trinkets from DF?
I hated s3. You almost never got the PI when you actually needed it.
And if you didn't get it you did blue logs
no i know. i didn't say "
no PI makes me angy", i just thought it was a wild set of circumstances

Whenever. You replace at 80 with better trinkets so it’s not worth thinking super duper hard on
i prefer to not get PI cause then you can do the "wait, did you PI me by mistake?" accidental humble flex when you top anyway
not getting pi and beating whoever does get pi is always a good feeling
macro /cancelaura Power Infusion into every ability 

If i may ask, would it be possible to disable the thistle tea cd bar ? that's useful information but being new to assa i'm trying to reduce information overload, if i understood correctly the thistle charges are a progress bar and the "dots" are text, setting bar alpha to 0 hides the dots though
the only time i wanted PI was when one of my guild friends was playing priest and I could erotically request his infusion



You are correct, the dots are texts, and the bar is the progress bar core aura for the Cooldown. You're looking in the right places, but "Alpha" is controlling the parent frame opacity, which includes all sub elements.
If you want to hide or make transparent a sub element, the way to generally do that is tofind a way to properly hide the element. However, that's not possible here because the progress bar itself is the core of the aura.
The workaround to this you can do is to instead change the color to transparent. In the progress bar, find the Bar, and Background colors, open each and drag the alpha slider to the bottom on both of them. That should hide the bar while retaining the dots.
You'll have to do this for both Bar and Background

Does CT snapshot the bonus from number of targets?
If I use it on 5 guys and three die, the other two still have the "extra" damage?
somone got a good shroud wa? mine is broken
i want it so say in SAY chat not in grp
but if u got a good one i can also change it ^^
Yes
It sticks to the amount hit when applied

nice


But I’ll take the cats

!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.
What’s DN?

I've been baking muffins all day and half of them are already gone 😦
Im noticing that i do plenty of damage in heroics without using kingsbane. this was not the case in dragonflight. Is deathstalker carrying my aoe damage now?

did you lose them?
It’s probably just bleeds and SD. Check your details for your damage profile. But no, will change because heroics is just trivial content.
i might need to tax you
Oh they are just normal chocolate ones with some choco cunks in there D;


Need to tax you for your blizzcon goods
dont make more daughters its not the serious
Happy early birthday to your daughter homie
how is this for a 1 minute dummy dps check? 80m overall, about 1.2m dps
not entirely sure what 1 minute on the dummy is supposed to achieve
hi where can i find good pvp builds? and what spec is best for pvp
just checked some damage numbers
#pvp should have them
hey guys do i need some haste for Assa ??
how do i do that?
My sims always tell me go full crit/mast
no caustic spatter?
where is caustic?
You need whatever the robot says.
If it says you need haste, you need it, we like all talents
ty
They used fan, which doesn’t proc caustic
yea i forgot to do it...
yep
Uh hold
Mobile so fucky
But yeah you definitely want to Mut on 5t
Idr how many cleave target dummy has
Ask Mr robot is telling me to reforge my mastery haste ring into crit is that what I should do?
Okay boys, lets talk trinkets. I see recommendations on wowhead to use things other than flaywing toxin, but that thing sims wayyyyyy better for me than my other options, any idea on why that might be?
what are other options?
wq trinkets?
cause if thats the case, wq trinkets you cant get higher ilvl
deathstalker's mark damage also missing I believe
AMR in this economy
Doesn’t require a premium membership!
do whatever the robot says, obv
man AMR takes me back
reforging in this economy?
Amr and bloodmallet had their uses
Did you change target count
low but its there
?
its for 1 target
You would remember reforging
Wich embelishments do i use with 590ilvl crafted gear? i got 1x Darkmoon buff on Weapon and thinking about the Second one now Crit buff above 80% hp or magic dmg from soket
you can link the sim directly, there's a url at the side of the page
Doesn’t make sense to compare to cleave dummies right?
Pepperidge farm remembers
yep
so when do i actually multi for maximizing my dps?
Whenever you’ve spread your bleeds
Usually 5t is a decent number
I vibe it out
Totally real usage and should be followed (don’t do that)

They have the builds 
seems to be better
thank u!
now i need to learn how to reproc deathstalkers mark
was just hitting a normal dummy, only 1 mark out, consumed all 3 stacks, got DN, consumed that with 7cp envenom and then i had 2 stacks of mark 
reading is for nerds
Max cp envenom during dn or vanish ambush
warrior discord is that a way
every discord is that way
we are not better in that regard

hi am dumb so slightly confused. what should my top damage be for aoe sin? Caustic,crimson or envenom?
Depends on a lot
Likely caustic
Potentially crimson
Would be surprised if envenom tops
just confused cause my aoe sim has envemon as my top

or maybe i messed something up in the sim
When you say aoe sim

How did you sim
does the sim have spatter
any resources on how much aoe to run on each boss or do i have to activate my brain for once
just the dungeon slice thing
50% aoe
25% cleave
25% st or some shit
@spice spire generally 5 boss 2 min sim
check env dropdown
dungeon slice is trash
It’s not trash
ah so just forget about it then
keep using it
It’s just not the ideal use for pure aoe
Flex harder on having one bud, I’m at negative brain cells

use brain...
okay ty though just was confused and thought i was doing my aoe wrong
i dont even know the fella, but use brain good

gtfo of here
Ele shaman here
we ride or die on this terrible yellow class
Press chain lightning
my alt is ele shaman its legit same level
and even then pressing eq feels so bad even if stuff lives
That’s the spec BABY
zZzz
fury warriors get to macro all their buttons together again its great
doesnt ele play like outlaw eith cdr
though i will say i've seen some disgusting fury war numbers 🫣
the most advanced moment in the rotation
idk
you dont on aoe
binding lightning bolt to scroll wheel down and chain lightning to scroll wheel up
If I’m gonna be real sometimes I hold the burst and just wait for a proc for instant cast

is pretty great gameplay
feelsgoodman
nvm most advanced thing is having enough energy for stormkeeper
farseer op for that
so u can earthshock into LB

always have the instant cast
How should i setup my stealth bar ? right now it's the same except mutilate > ambush
That works
That’s how mine is set up
that's pmuch it
maybe pickpocket for wax
ok so this is the other half of pooling i was trying to digest earlier
BASICALLY when we are not in dps dump everything mode, we're trying to (and ideally succeeding in) chaining together envenom buffs inside the cast window without fully grounding to a halt and having to start the process over
Do I have that right?
