Embellishments
Rune-Branded Armbands Rune-Branded Armbands and Rune-Branded Waistband Rune-Branded Waistband are your two slots for Embellishments this expansion. Make sure you're putting Dawnthread Lining Dawnthread Lining onto both of them

This is recommende din the guide

But for Raid on the new wow head article other is recommended

@balmy condor do we have any boss-related tips for rogues?

I wonder why they would build one of the most used gaming app in electron, who thought that would be a good idea.

#

Might ask a dumb question here . I am running my sin on some dummies to reaquaint myself with raid builds. My bleeds are rolling. and I am eventually running out of energy around 2-3 mins. is this normal?

balmy condor
#

!design

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

Is it a good idea to macro Crimson Vial with Healthstone?

#

Unless they share the same gcd but I don't think they do?

balmy condor
#

why would you want that

sturdy radish
#

that... seems like overkill and a bad waste of energy

waxen thunder
#

When you have 6 combo points, and you need the 7th to bring back the mark, do you just eat the overflow combo point generation or try to get there with less loss of combo points

manic thicket

maybe macro crimson vial to hearthstone

are people taking reverberation vs resonding clarity since the mark isnt procing off ER?

#

or just taking CB

proud yacht
#

if we take improved poisons over improved garrote for the VV build, do we even use vanish anymore ever? it sims higher for me and the top DS sim on Fuu's sheet does this too. build doesnt use shrouded either.

how many spark fragments yall got? i just have 1 full spark. my buddy has an extra half piece. maybe cuz i havent finished campaign?

#

@balmy condor IIR back in the day it was important to stay above 50% energy (for sanguine) and maintaining your envenom buff during single target. is that still vital?

gray hazel
#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

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.

wind falcon
#

so pooling isn't a thing for Deathstalker, gotcha

severe sparrow
#

i forget, can you usually do dungeon quests in m0's or should i just knock these out tonight?

uneven plume
#

id id about 20 sims and trading in for haste for some stats was like a 1-2k dps increase

#

i think im just gonna stick to 10% haste with current gear lmao

how does whispyr stay sane getting pinged 24/7?

I imagine seeing the lights behind each one of your eyes going out as I choke you to death for asking the same 5 questions on loop for the last 3 months

#

and that usually makes me feel better

indigo mulch
#

Like i said.

severe sparrow
#

how many eyes do you think we have?

uncut dragon
#

ima just do what I saw in whispyrs video and macro cold blood to envenom, follow the opener he has a pictogram of while using his talent setup, and pace myself to keep envenom up and energy over 50 for as much of the fight as I can and hope for the best.

proud yacht
#

idk what kind of mechanic he is but that also seems like a job that could drive someone insane depending on the customers

@balmy condor do i need to restealth before every pull? πŸ‘€

@balmy condor is assassination good?

yep doing fatebound since it seems less fiddly and no bugs going against it.

whats the benefit behind waiting to craft? is it just to see what pieces you need to fill after m0s?

uneven plume
gray hazel
#

It is kind of annoying to have two different embellishments for M+ raid. DF spoiled me

keen rover
#

!craft

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

ty for sim

balmy condor

just have 120 crests man

#

very simple

bronze dune
#

yeah the guide does say to upgrade trinkets first usually

balmy condor
#

crafting gear is more crest efficient

#

which is what everyone did kinda

#

cause it's 30 crests for a 590 crafted

uneven plume

i have 120 carved ones

#

but i cant get to them with only 15 weathered

balmy condor

and 45 for a 590 trinket

!carnage

prisma monolithBOT
#

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

Leopard hmm_waddle

Of cats jaguar is like right before tiger for me on shit I’d never want to 1v1

id rather fight a jaguar than a tiger

i mean leopard also would not be a fun day

Tigers are some vindictive assholes

leopards max out around 70 lbs though so maybe if you just get lucky and kick it hard enough

it might die

cheetas also much smaller than you'd expect

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’m running VV with no improved garrote or shrouded, would it be a dps increase to get the DN buff then vanish ambush to get mark back or is that too convoluted?

Quick question regarding crafted gear. Wowhead says belt and bracers shuold be crafted but the bis list says a raid belt is bis. Is this an oversight

the crafting slots that is

#

dont think it matters that much though,should sim urself and find ur truth

balmy condor

The raid list is only raid drops

If it’s the overall list it should be a crafted belt

Are we really not playing improved garrot?

in raid

You can

It’s technically better in raw single target

If you can cleave improved garrotes on stuff it’s probably worse

No

why do i have 2 socketed belts before i got the trinket..

@balmy condor

how much of a dps loss will oils be?

so on pure ST fights, when we don’t take improved garrote. No point in vanishing during rotation I would presume.

instead of whetstones

Why is it back

does it NEED the cT

or is it just also affect it

like, is is like the system shock essentially that it requires all of the named spells?

balmy condor
#

Affect it

#

It’s just a buff you have

#

If you have the buff, it buffs all the shit it says

thorn crater
#

but that would mean that wth the 4p ct becomes perma part of rotation on all situations no?

#

that iis whhat yyou meant with ct in ST before?

balmy condor
#

No

#

It definitely enables it

#

But it’s just cringe dungeon build optimization

Gives me more things to uptime rather than spam mutilate and envenom

robust axle

@balmy condor We flipping coins tomorrow?

just checked the wowhead raid builds, you dont run improved garrote in single target? insted two points of Viscious venoms?

sinful mauve
#

!wa

terse orchid
balmy condor
tawdry sedge
#

Imma ask a stupid question, since i am not that much into pve. In the scenario where the tank chain pulls packs of 3-5 mobs, as an assa rogue playing deathstalker you ambush one of the enemies in the first group, then proceed to spread bleeds, once you have 4-5 bleeding targets, do you target the one with deathmark again and start spamming shivs, dm, kb and envenoms or whatever target is in front of you?

robust axle
#

According to Fuu's sims, Fatebound seems marginally ahead, but you seem to believe otherwise on your WoWhead guide @balmy condor - You still think DS is gonna be more damage I guess?

balmy condor
#

Fatebound just very rng and doesn’t have funnel and has worse mobility and worse defensives

hearty galleon
#

But the single targer opener (with viscious venoms) still uses vanish for improved garrote - guess its not all updated yet

balmy condor
#

I need to make a new one for it yeah

#

(It’s the same opener but with ambush instead of garrote)

soft merlin
balmy condor
#

Idk about a lot

tawdry sedge
#

will i get an answer?

#

no?

#

fine

#

i will play outlaw then

balmy condor
#

It’s really only 2 that end up being impactful in any way

brisk plank
#

what do we use vanish with then with 2x vicious venoms in st raid ?

brisk plank
#

so we go ambush despite having mark/capstone up?

balmy condor
#

You just vanish to reapply mark during capstone

silk bane
#

you vanish ambush when darkest night is up to apply the marks (instead of building normally). -> 1) incrases uptime on hunt them down. 2) accelerates working throuh marks by 1

#

ah i was yappin whispyr was fast

brisk plank
#

gotcha, and how big difference in dps is it compared to improved gar if mr whisp has numbers?

silk bane
#

u dont have improve garrote with vv builds tho

desert cove
#

so shouldn't the opener have changed then b/c for st you would be finishing on 4cp for rupture

hearty galleon
#

the ST build before was both (i think), just 1 point in venoms

#

unless you get a seal fate proc

could you at least put up a rotation vid or something, if it's changing before raid I'd like to know it

balmy condor
#

It hasn’t changed

fallen moss
#

so are we saying line 13 changes? after vanish we dont hit garrote, hit ambush instead?

balmy condor
#

It’s literally just apply mark instead of imp gar

terse orchid
desert cove
#

ooooh

balmy condor
#

If the target doesn’t have mark

#

Ambush

#

This is the whole change

#

Nothing else

#

That’s it

desert cove
#

so you use the DN proc with the mark already on

balmy condor
#

Yes

desert cove
#

ah now I see with the point of accelerating your mark stuff and increasing hunt uptime

balmy condor
#

Yes

hi whispyr ❀️

not on bosses, maybe on trash?

I'm not a filthy alliance player /s

storm stone

drop the /s

balmy condor
bleak plume
#

it should work on trash but getting in combat is very spaghetti coding when you have dots running

balmy condor
#

But you get knocked out of meld if you have a dot or take any damage

#

Or move too close to something

#

Or sneeze

bleak plume
#

But dots on mobs make them go into combat with you no? Like if you wipe e.g and have dots running, you enter and leave combat all the time from afar

past forum
#

or if the vibes just aint right

balmy condor
#

Meld is like vanish

#

Except worse

#

In every imaginable way

bleak plume
#

yeah but vanish has inbuilt stealth in it

balmy condor
#

Ye

bleak plume
#

shadowmeld needs you to have enough time out of combat to click stealth after

balmy condor
#

Well kinda

#

It’s like 1 second

bleak plume
#

but if you have 40 dots ticking on a big aoe pack

#

and you shadowmeld

#

and some dot hits 0.001sec after shadowmeld and gets you in combat

past forum
#

so without imp garrote, you do/dont hold 2nd dm for 2nd vanish?

just considering if its worth raceswapping to nelf for m+ instead of void elf

@balmy condor Is your Silken Court build supposed to have a point in Resounding Clarity?

dense talon
#

Todays dumb question as I learn assassin : Can we spend the duration of kingsbane and deathmark spreading rupture? or I should activate Kingsbane only after ensuring that there are 5 ruptured targets?

robust axle
#

Ensure 5 ruptured targets

loud light
#

if you're using kingsbane, ideally you're staying on that target for autoattacks and getting some envenoms out to get enough poison procs on the kingsbane target

wicked lynx
strange python
#

so if we raiding we good to send it on dagger and patch tommorow? i highly doubt there will be more tuning till next week

dense talon
#

another question: Its easy to spread rupture to 5 targets coming out of stealth and once they are done, the next time i apply rupture to 5 targets, it almost takes me 20 secs to generate enough combo points for rupturing 5 targets. By the time I complete, the first ruptured target again needs to be ruptured. Is this a common occurrence or am I just slow? I am assuming that i dont have vanish.
