#

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'"

A lot of resentment there

marble hemlock

is more than acceptable

somber nimbus

is feral complex nowadays

haughty flicker
#

yeah thats the one time its allowed

somber nimbus
#

havent played feral in a hot minute

spice spire
#

Love them, young Timothy

grim jay
somber nimbus

feral has always been bottom of the barrel too

upper crag

Think simcraft will update rogue sims at some point

grim jay
spice spire
#

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

somber nimbus
#

if youre playing druid why would you play feral

spice spire
#

Because I hate boomkins

shy pecan
snow kindle
#

boomkin is ass rn

#

(sim wise)

spice spire
#

Ain’t enough

spice spire
#

For all the gaslighting

i can't think of a spec that deserves to be ass more than boomie

Fire mage

spice spire
bleak spoke
#

okay but fire is actually fun

somber nimbus
#

it has always been blizzard favo dps along with mage

cobalt sphinx
#

Fire is so much fun

bleak spoke
#

mage privilege comes from the left side of the talent window

marble hemlock
#

considering boomkin has been dogshit for like

#

6 tiers now

#

boomkin was good like

#

1 and a half tiers

#

cuz venthyr

bleak spoke
#

in sanctum

#

yeah

marble hemlock
#

and its been shit everywhere else

#

its like saying blizzard loves sub cause zul

somber nimbus
#

not even in m+ last xpac?

cobalt sphinx
#

Sludgefist convoke though

somber nimbus
#

i didnt really play dragonflight

marble hemlock
#

boomie was okay in m+

#

but so was feral in s1

#

and s2

cobalt sphinx
#

Boomkin was good until aug priest mage took over i heard

marble hemlock
#

and then it was just

bleak spoke
#

boomie's always been kinda okay in key i think, even when it's "bad"

marble hemlock
#

aug/mage/shadowpriest for the rest of the expac

somber nimbus
#

i refuse to play evoker

#

i cant

cobalt sphinx
#

It was “good” but it had no kick, it could always live one-shots though with bear form

bleak spoke
#

kicks are relevant again FeelsGoodMan

haughty flicker
#

can play evoker if you stock up on illusions

#

but have to take a break every hour

cobalt sphinx
#

Do illusions show transmog

bleak spoke
haughty flicker
#

idk actually

waxen oyster
#

kicks are relevent until prot pal meta

haughty flicker

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?

marble hemlock
#

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

haughty flicker
cobalt sphinx

Almost playable HOLY

waxen oyster
#

gleeful glamour?

#

yeah they retain your mog

haughty flicker
#

that'll be 65s for reimbursement

snow kindle
#

glamour is just the same as the 24hr toy

waxen oyster
#

but rank 3 is like 4-5k a pop rn

haughty flicker
#

yeah they're expensive af atm

waxen oyster
#

yeah we just rotate recalibrators

#

in raid

#

lasts the entire night

slate crown
haughty flicker
#

need to get your raid to buy more murloc toys

snow kindle
#

you can just get a lvl 70 enchanter and make the glees for cheap

slate crown
#

My enchanter used that tree for acuity farm

#

and went all into reagents

waxen oyster
#

i dont think any enchanter is putting their points into the cosmetics spec

slate crown
#

so I can probably max guarantee them...

waxen oyster
#

at this point

#

will likely cheapen out

haughty flicker
slate crown
#

The tree pays for itself with knowledge

#

and then some

#

and gives you a spare 100 acuity to boot

cobalt sphinx
#

You go 20 points into that tree because of knowledge and levels yeah

haughty flicker
#

yeah i made the mistake of not doing that immediately on mine

slate crown
#

Like it 100% covers its costs in knowledge points, it's wild

waxen oyster
#

it helps with other enchants?

haughty flicker
#

so catching up now

eager tree
slate crown
#

and then gives you 100 acuity

#

which does help other enchants

waxen oyster
#

dont you have to invest the points

cobalt sphinx
#

Free (10k gold of storm dust)

haughty flicker
#

storm dust dead

waxen oyster
#

storm dust costing more than the shards

#

is funny

cobalt sphinx
#

Storm dust mafia

haughty flicker
#

have dedicated disenchanter

#

buy greens

#

slate crown
snow kindle
#

greens are just so hard to actually farm

waxen oyster
#

do you go into greens specialization

slate crown
#

which give you more recipes which give you more points

haughty flicker
#

yeah 100%

#

it used to be omega profits

slate crown
#

The tree gives you more recipes than there are points

zinc oriole
#

guys quick question what is Assa stat prio for ST?

slate crown
#

that's why I say it's free

haughty flicker
#

greens were like 200g and t3 dust was 700+

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
haughty flicker
#

now its way less, but still cheaper than just buying dust outright

#

depending on server boe costs anyway

waxen oyster
#

i dont even know how to optimize alch on main

#

went longer flasks first then kinda not sure from there

slate crown
#

I think it's really hard to optimize alchemy because it takes so many god damn points to get anything strong

haughty flicker
#

just dont do what i did and accidentally put 10 points into phials

#

thinking it was flasks

slate crown
#

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

waxen oyster
#

i got the free soulbound flask on craft thing daily

slate crown
#

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

haughty flicker
#

yeah its insane

slate crown
#

honestly I don't know why alchemy is so tightly gated

#

it's ridiculous

#

compared to other profs

cobalt sphinx
#

Almost everything will have very slim margins even when maxed out

#

The nature of the free market

slate crown
#

well yeah

haughty lantern
#

lets go capitalism

haughty flicker
#

well the idea is to be one of the first

slate crown
#

That's how it all equalizes out

cobalt sphinx
#

Resourcefulnessmaxxing can make you rich though

haughty flicker
#

and abuse the market before it drops

slate crown
#

Multicraft for alchemy*

cobalt sphinx
#

That too

slate crown
#

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

haughty lantern
slate crown
#

and happens every start of the expansion

haughty lantern
#

also for tomorrow, m0 difficulty opens, is that for expansion dungeons or s1 dungeons?

cobalt sphinx
#

Profession gear can still be extremely profitable

haughty flicker
#

yeah last expac i made a few million on engineering making the zapthrottle soul things

#

just because nobody on my server was making them

haughty lantern
haughty flicker
#

so i overpriced the fuck out of it

haughty lantern
haughty flicker
#

yeah i definitely didnt abuse warbands to find cheap greens

haughty lantern
#

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.

haughty flicker
#

damn

#

my to do list is to log on at some point in the afternoon

#

and maybe do some stuff

spice spire
#

Dagger in mists and NW right?

cobalt sphinx
haughty flicker
#

you need to open one key

#

to do an echo

#

then do the echo before doing the rest

cobalt sphinx
#

Bountiful keys will only drop radiant echoes after you have completed an echo

haughty lantern
cobalt sphinx
#

After the first?

haughty lantern
#

in that case*

spice spire
#

I have ports to the sl so it’s not a huge deal

haughty lantern
haughty flicker

In aoe should I be using fan of knives or mutilate as a combo builder?

haughty flicker

first bountiful gives quest, do that then do the rest

haughty lantern

but also we just take ilvl over stats right?

#

so really we should just run everything

Hey guys, where to use tea charges ? One is in kb window with shiv but rest of them ? deathmark ?

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

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"

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

what's the value of bubbling wax vs whetstone is it close enough to justify not spending 50k on wep runes this week? lol

haughty lantern

unless you're in liquid and immediately pushing mythic raid

Atm it’s looking like it only procs main hand

#

So it would be mh wax, off hand whetstone

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?

does that count

severe sparrow
#

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

haughty flicker

im keeping my hopes low until its actually here though

solar orbit
#

wait, it said under 50%, does it mean energy?

severe sparrow
#

Yeah

solar orbit
#

Why would we want to stay under 50% energy? Isn't that a dps loss because of sanguine blades?

haughty lantern
#

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?

spice spire
#

The long short is yes

haughty lantern
spice spire
#

More casts = good

#

But

#

You also want to chain your envenom

#

So if you’re going to lose that

#

Start pooling

#

That’s it

haughty lantern
#

i read the bot and followed the link and am now reading about our rotation

haughty lantern
spice spire
#

So envenom is like our bleeds

solar orbit
#

Rapid injection increases your dmg

spice spire
#

It has a time frame where it’s active

#

And yeah

#

8s

#

Pop at pandemic

haughty lantern
#

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

solar orbit
#

So you want to use envenom within the envenom buffs window

spice spire
#

To keep it going

#

If you’re going to let the envenom buff drop because you can’t go on

#

You start pulling

solar orbit
#

What I don't get is how staying below 50% energy is better?

spice spire
haughty lantern
spice spire
#

Pooling

haughty lantern
#

oh

spice spire
#

Sorry

haughty lantern
#

so if you let envenom buff drop, you sort of like reset?

spice spire
#

Yes

#

To about 70% energy

#

And go agane

#

Obviously

haughty lantern
#

ahhhhh the picture is becoming clearer now

spice spire
#

You maintain bleeds as well

#

You don’t let those drop off

#

Ever

haughty lantern
#

yes b/c those are your energy suppliers

spice spire
#

Maybe minuscule for imp garrote timing

#

Yes

haughty lantern
#

THAT much i understand

royal lantern
# solar orbit Why would we want to stay under 50% energy? Isn't that a dps loss because of san...

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?

haughty lantern
#

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
royal lantern
#

its really just "use energy, sanguine blades will be active when it has value"

haughty lantern

so bleeds aren't important b/c of their damage, they're important b/c they give us energy regen

spice spire
old oyster
#

is there a consensus on what embellishment to craft coming up? Wowhead still says crit but see a lot of talk of ascendance / elemental

royal lantern
#

you generate your 5+ cp and wait until envenom is at ~1sec remaining before you use it, and then repeat that

haughty lantern
#

yes yes ofc

royal lantern
#

and ofc re-apply bleeds when needed

#

thats your gameplay bettwen kingsbane/kingsbane+DM windows

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.

Hey! Couldn't find any info on what the rotation is inbetween CD's on ST. Since we're not running sanguine blades, is it just envenom chaining until running out and then pooling back to 300? While keeping rupture + garrote up

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.

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

# proud mason If i may ask, would it be possible to disable the thistle tea cd bar ? that's us...

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

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.
