Yeah i thought that was it but for some reason it never happened in heroics or M0 and it was pretty much the same scenario when i pulled first even without Tricks
Guess delve mobs are absolute chadlords and built different, attacking you 0.00001 seconds before you apply mark
not sure how to get maps, had one guildie get 3 but a few of us got 0
ahhh
Maybe auto attack?
Make sure you don’t right click mob when approaching or it can happen
got 610 chest, 610 hands and lfr hands, is it more worth to transfer the chest to an tier item and use 610 chest with the 587 hands? or should i keep the 610/610 without 2 set bonus?
i was given a Trecherous Transmitter in raid...anyone have a good "weakaura" for it? lol
is outlaw that strong in raid or we dealing with a bit of sim bait?
I got an imperfect ascendency serum on veteran track, and it sims highest -- would i do the 1.5s channel before hitting deathmark?
Yes
just good luck i guess, i got one yesterday
yeah,m i didn't get any yesterday, but got a drop earlier this am
is there a set bonus for using both candle trinkets?
yeah its about -10k dps
why did u take candle
decked out, better than ashes of embersoul
Are you guys gonna do this?
from the weekly quest with the machine
you can level that weapon all the way to 619
do we only use the maps in a bountiful, or it doesn't matter, and a non-bountiful gives same reward?
Does the lining give more "stat" on waist over wrists?
Fatebound sims higher for me than DS at 5 min patchwerk. This isn't simbait right?
hmm
it shouldnt i run 40k+ more dps with DS
thats weird
IMO, DS is much, much easier to get close to sim on a patchwerk for any boss fight where i won't have 100% uptime (which is basically everything)
i feel very confortable with DS now
You have more crit and less haste maybe? Thought DS a bit more haste and FB more crit reliant.
actually a ton of haste, 7k haste 8.8k crit 6,3k mast

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.
And consuming Cap stone with DS is higher prio than any ER or Rupture?
Yes tho rupture should never be a thing
would like some clarification here
so if we have cds, arent we supposed to cast as many envenoms during the cd window
is this after cds wear out?
yes
sorry yes what
ty
also we shouldnt sit on 7 cps then, if we cap, we should use them even if its not during the final second of envenom
I will never find true love again

can i craft some gear with my omen yet
I envy you
Hi guys, I'm looking for a weakaura for assa that tracks both scent of blood & caustic spatter. I may not search correctly but I haven't found it. Many thanks in advance 🙂
does numbing poison work on every boss?
yeah only thing i need now from dungos is rings and necks. been unlucky in that dept
Is assassinations performance tied to gear or why is outlaw doing so much more DMG based on preliminary rankings?
Assasination performance is tied to blizzard
I don't remember seeing them get nerfed, could it be that less people are playing it?
assa has way more players than both other rogues specs combined probably
It's definitely better for mythic plus
if assa is bad and sub good everyone flocks to sub
How is everyone doing in the raid damage wise?
Do we ever use the anima charged combo points as deathstalker? Or just using echoing reprimand as a cheap hard hitting attack and forgetting about the anima charged combo points?

Sub is cool, but it's annoying trying to get everything done in shadow dance window is annoying
its quite literally a dance
what's the easiest delve for us?
You get disrupted in anyway and it feels bad
3rd point only
!wax
Bubbling Wax is roughly on par with whetstones and are free. Some caveats:
- Right now having wax applied to your offhand does nothing. Make sure you apply wax first, then apply your whetstone
- The quickest way to farm for wax is pickpocketing the kobolds in front of darkflame cleft
- If you have no idea what any of this is, you need to start the questline with "Brax's Brass Knuckles", then walk into the inn and talk to the vent to start "Go Take Candle". Once you complete the short questline, you can pickpocket wax from the kobolds
the window is short enough that even if you do you dont lose a big bunch
There goes a missed secret tech
Why 3rd point only?
sec tech is early in the shadow dance afaik
exactly, you cant really miss it
whats the goto assassination raid spec+
allright, does somebody know why some of my old SL teleports apperantly vanished lol
you exploited them and got rolled back
sucks to suck ig
finally , i somehow got 500k, but in a delve, im assuming bronzebeard buffed me or something
!craft
Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime
Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
waow
My best trinket is the 1,5s channel trinket (Imperfect Ascendancy Serum), do i use this at a different time since it channels or just the same time as any other on use?
i use mine right before deathmark
its like puzzlebox but with agility at least
Yo is there any difference or better choice on daggers between : Algarie mana oil or ironclaw whetstone
and faster
Assassin > Outlaw in M+?
Before dm
Yes
I parse much higher both st and aoe at dummies with assassination so far
but my gear is slightly tuned ass statwise
i think you might just be better at sin than you are outlaw

That might be...I would say slightly less bad 😄
I was looking at the recent stats on warcraftlogs that's why I asked
There's a variety of caveats why they might look like that
Our 2p is kind of whatever. You can if you want but it’s not like an omega necessity
its ok im in the same situation lmao, been learning marksman hunter and i am not doing great
or rather, im just completely inconsistent lmao
Blud it’s aimed shot.spec innit
Okay good luck
thanks ❤️
basically ye
Play what you want best because it’s been a day
Just tell them you need more gear like the mage and they need to funnel it to you
yeah im best with sub
which throws me off because i always want to use those procs
Problem solved
That’s ele 
but assa is kinda fun now
well yeah
thanks for reply!
but ele i just bind lightning bolt to scrollwheel
whats the fastest delve out there
and blast
Sub looks slightly better pop off king.
But in the end both are more than fine
thanks my g
Any time big dog
You right
i refuse
okay ❤️ i stay with 610/610 for the moment, thanks
till the day i die, to play outlaw
Sub seems like it's always the safe bet and you don't need a one handed sword
what a horrible spec holy moly
It's like what I heard someone say in the outlaw channel, "it's never felt so good and so bad"
Glhf big dog. I think numerically two piece is just under 1% gain? 4p total is like 3% that could be old data but last I saw (‘Monday) that was it

its 4 % drop chance on chests around the delve
Transmitter best trinket hands down
also not in eu
Use the old ones
and also im tired of pickpocketing mobs for wpn buffs, what is this game
bubbling wax drop rate is so low X(
Just go outside of dark flame cleft
u guys running brann dps or healer
It went down
na is worse xd
although at least we arent being scammed on t1
holy fuck
eu crafters being degenerate
mana oil cheap alternative?
NA actually making money
do poisons and bleeds snapshot with mastery from tea?
EU is just being typical EU
so going back to this, why wouldnt it make sense to not delay envenom due to DM stacks? dont we want to get as many DMs?
is it the best alternative?
i mean its better than nothing
just use wax + df rune for heroic who cares lmao
yeah df runes are still good too
when your single target and maintaining your envenom, therefore not spamming the fuck out of everything and draining your energy
is it normal to have periods of downtime where you let it tick a little bit?
before refreshing
do it in mythic aswell lmao
the difference is so fucking small
we talk about 0,1% shit here
baseg
I just spread rupture and see the meter expload
I went alchemy and now I have hours long potions
It's easy to get and good, yes
only on mh , right
Yeh
kk
The first use of any weapon consumable applies to the main hand, correct?
Plus I can use it as a crutch when my parses are shit
I played perfectly 
yeah thats always my excuse too
anyone higher than me on the meters is a sweaty nerd popping t3 pots on an op class
getting pocket auged
probably getting pi too
AMEN
On God 🙏
why this shit knife sims more thant my 606 Transmitter?
Where do I get bubbling wax from? its not buyable in AH?
piles of dirt in the world
bubbling wax is from pickpocketing kobolds
You have to pickpocket kobolds
Have to complete quests first
is it the best alternative to whetstone ?
healer. i was doing t8 at 583 solo and tbh it's not worth the struggle and time. just get a tank and blast through your 4

you can use 1 bubbling wax
and it seems to be pretty good
but need something for offhand still
like discussed earlier, can just use a df rune or something with it
we still waiting on crafts or is it safe to make belt and bracers?
is this trinket good?
you can craft em but wait for embellishment i think
soo do i use my catalyst to get a 2 piece since i got a piece off normal? also should i craft embellishment gear first for the carved crests? idk the most optimized way to spend anything
oki cool cheers 🙂
sim it, but it wasn't good when i simmed it
yeah that thing looks like dog
95k is like 1/10th of the damage you'd expect and passive crit is much worse than passive agi
you can always consult raidbots
on most things
it doesn't have scroll of momentum last time i checked
Sims are broken no ? I think it push me to chosse item with haste/mastery instead of stats in the wowhead guide crit/mastery...

do we still use fok in single target ?
if you have viscious venoms talented, no
if you don't have VV and have ctw
otherwise yes
yes with the buff
haste is fine lol
ok 🙂
it might suck on multitarget though
thx
but single target it is competitive with crit and mastery
thx for explanation @cobalt sphinx 🙂
did you forget to switch loot or does delve ignore spec in the box?

Is the Whispyr video on pooling from DF still accurate?
!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
Probably !pooling is current pooling bit as well
Did I misunderstood or this is a BIG nerf to the crimson tempest?
it's just a tooltip update
tooltip change
Good info, thanks
You think they're going to tune embellishments on mythic week or do I just send it?

was able to solo kriegvals rest by fighting with evasion/cloak, then kiting till crap came back up, healer brann had enough output to keep me alive as long as i could get far enough away to avoid grab
They ended up nerfing odd globs of wax right? 5valorstones per turnin and 25 turnins per week max?
Yep. Got owned, am sad.
At this point can we assume that Echoing Reprimand not interacting with Deathstalker's Mark is intentional?
Makes sense though. Otherwise what is the point of a 2000 cap? They have been trying to clamp down on the "if it can be done, people will do it" behaviour
still would've loved that before we had 2 weeks to sit on our hands and they didn't say a peep about it and had already nerfed once, but its all good just a lil bitter 😛
what talent builds to go with m0 this week?
I'm trying to navigate this discord and I just joined someone in the PvP tab of this discord told me to go to Pinned for builds and addons. I only found PvE guides on WoW head and Icy veins. Where would I find some good starter help for PvP material (PvP tab redirected me here so please don't tell me to go to the PvP tab 😅)
Youtube or twitch, but pve is the same as pvp for assa rogue. Learn the class basics
So you don't swap up talent trees when switching between pvp and PvE content
Check out guides on those platforms theyll be more details
whats the opener on silken court boss? send everything on 1 boss at first or get garrote / rupture on 2nd targ?
Pikabooirl, kavlish, nicktherogue. All great streamers
Appreciate the help HERO
Always multi dot if you can fa sho
I did check Pikaboos channel but didn't see a guide up. I'll check some of those others too
Gar gar rup rup
can someone give me assa rogue ST talents? my raid is starting : o

Ye sry I meant that
Yes
We even have a command for that (everything)
!hero
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
i see O: because the sim is so much lower than deathstalker but the gameplay is "easier"

Ahhh sorry yeah deathstalker mark
Gg just roll fatebound
Yeah after playing the raid I’m absolutely just gonna go fatebound

I was in m0 now where priest was MCing my deathstalker marked mobs after I opened...
What’s the point in crafting PvP items with sparks when you can do heroic raid and craft the higher?
Did you get your quest from non-rated PVP?
we play with echo now or still bug?
It made me reconsider my whole existence lol
bug
Without spark you can craft 610
Is it that noticeable
OOF
If the bug gets fixed, they will post a pin about it
Was deathstalker intended to work with ER? Or do the devs absolutely hate us
how?

really second dagger wouldnt change that much ?
No

Nah it’s just another piece of gear
Sim it
Ur mainhand is ++
yeah
wintrade skirmishes until you get 9 heraldries
and you can craft 2 or 3 610 items
is it just a champion wep
no it's 610 lock
Is fate bound the go to for m+, whisper vid just kinda blew my thought process
any slot
610 algari competitor items, whichever slots you can make with 9 heraldries
this is some real fucking nerd behaviour chaps
610 pretty big tho
thx.. is there a list with all comannds?
Does the 610 crafted ring come with a socket? (PvP)
There wasn’t when I was staff either iirc
Yes
we managed to queue snipe each other twice in a row
i'm 2-0 vs guildies in skirmishes
did we mess up going assassination instead of outlaw or sub 
yes, you must delete your character now
kinda but sin is still good
It doesn’t matter. Nothing matters

!bis
BiS lists are not helpful towards gearing yourself. In order for BiS items to truly be BiS, all items in the list have to be obtained at that level exactly, or else it doesn't make sense. Missing a socket for example would shift your stats slightly. You should always compare your gear through top gear or droptimizer instead.
Pre-raid or Pre-season BiS is especially not helpful, and we do not have any of them. These are absolute meaningless bait for gear that you will be replacing the moment the season comes out. Use Top Gear/Droptimizer to compare against your character

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 Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.
Hey guys, I just swapped to ST raid and I get the proc parentheses, what does that mean, whats procing?
Blindside
Maybe imp poisons? Or VV?
Unsure
Dawnthread doesn't stack for me, Does anyone else have the same thing?
How do we stay below 50% in Deathstalker? If you make even one mistake inside of KB where you're low energy and need to reapply Deathstalker's Mark you're hosed.
ok thanks, think Wowhead has the wrong import dtring for bloodhound
!sims
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
Every mutilate is very very tight for optimal damage
@balmy condor unsure if that’s intentional. Also could have just not taken.
Staying below 50 is aimed more toward if you’re running sanguine, which it doesn’t currently
Just follow pooling rules
Tyvm, so I assume I just ambush since its just a better mutilate
No it doesn’t. It saps your energy if it is
In M+ we play deathstalker+ER right? How big is the difference between deathstalker and fatebound?
hmm maybe both as you need a point in the one before it also
Not 100% haven’t raided yet 
Do understand on the energy, i moreso mean that you aren't "trying" to stay under 50%
!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.
What kind of an encounter is it?
I just don't understand trying to stay under 50%
We still don't have any updates for Spark items? I'm still holding both of mine.
an addy one
The point is that Sanguine is currently tuned very weirdly
not done it yet though, just killed first boss
Where it is not efficient to take advantage of the effect outside of cooldowns
You want to stay under 50% so Sang doesn't eat your energy outside of cooldowns, so you get more finishers/Envenoms
If you stay above 50%, you'll get much less finishers and casts out.
Okay okay I'm not running sanguine blades
yeah that's the fight where you go into the upside-down and have to kill a couple bigger adds
Yeah moot point
That is definitely what the talent is promoting, but with current tuning it's just not worth playing around with outside of cds.
how is sin looking in raid so far
Is what I said from the beginning
yeah not sure on CT because it doesn't seem to be a LOT of adds, but they are important
Right I'm just stupid af
I didn't understand that was assumign you're running sanguine
okay so not running sanguine i'm just pooling as usual
!
Ye
where can i find proper raid ST rodation?
much easier to not get punished

there's a fuckin lot goin on right now just poppin in with qs as i whack dumby 
Ag big dog
so for delve maps, basically you have a chance to get one at the end of a bountiful delve (from the "side chests"?) that match the level of the delve you just completed
you then take that into ANOTHER bountiful delve to use the map and get a STONKING piece of hero track loot? do I have that right?
i didn't touch delves yesterday, just world content and mythics b/c i wanted to let everyone else figure out how these maps worked n stuff
delves are fast and brain dead especially if you have friends to run with and the gear is nuts
whats are "friends" ? 🫠
is it safe to use first spark on dagger w/ ascension?
what are 'nuts'?
You got homies here
Too bad we’re all rogues
lmafo
But then you randomly find a friend that swaps like @shy pecan
And then life is good
personally i went with bracers and belt with dawnthread lining, that way when my vault eventually screws me over, i can put sockets in these

and also they work pretty well for outlaw
okay will someone be very nice and explain this pvp shit to me, i couldn't read properly i was getting carried in a m0
Does anyone know what to do with the bountiful delve map?
stealth, cheap shot, apply poisons, vanish
not that ffs
go run another tier 8 bountiful delve (after using the map?) and you will get a "bonus chest" with a piece of hero track loot
how do we treat echoing reprimand combo points lower than 5?
i ran skirmishes until i got a quest item pop up at the end of the match, i turned it in and got 9 pvp heraldries and it costs 3-5 of them to craft any algari piece at 610

not sure what queues you can get them from
wowhead says suggested ilvl for tier 8 (solo at least) is 603+
so here's hoping my 596 ass can find some homies to run some with
Always aim to use a finisher there unless you’re trying to get your dn stacks
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
so....it IS a bug right? like blizzard has confirmed that DN application is supposed to work with an anima charged combo point?
No they’ve not

!craft
Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime
Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
The hardest thing with Deathstalker is it falling off inside KB while bleeds are also falling off
There are so many plates this things nutso
....what
what happens if he dies?
If reprimand could appy mark that would save so much pain
idk hes tankier than me
anyone know the % gain from 2 set/4set
he gets revived after a while
What should I use my spark on?
wait till tuning
kk
Oh that’s lucky I figured I’d have to wait a week or something. Thanks
you can do 4 bountiful delves a day
i got my map on the 4th bountiful of the day
(b/c you can only run each one once and there are 4 active per day, they change on daily reset)
do u think i can do a bountiful delve at 574 ilvl (t8?)
you have to pull slowly
SO IN THEORY you can get 4 champ track pieces of gear per day
but probably
okie dokie
pull slowly, TotT onto bran, and play safe
like you will not be speed running these things
yeah my shit alts i might just go in as tank
although vdh is borderline a dps
as is....
i was going into priory heroics last week doing 3m
do we know how the sim for this works? its beating my sacbrood of the same item lvl (like dose it take the - into account?)
https://www.wowhead.com/news/the-war-within-season-1-delves-everything-you-need-to-know-346537

like to optimally sim
patchwerk 5mins
every class has different optimal ways
what rogue spec doesn't use 4 set?!?
outlaw

for example
yeah dungeon slice is a shit sim model
it just works for outlaw because that spec is
it worsk for some
lolbladeflurry
other classes
do u guys know like a good guess
so thats why i want to know
odyn's fury
arms go brrrt
legs warrior when blizz
sub's is like 7% for 4p
Sims exist out there for this i dont remember the link tho
Theres a whole doc
thanks sir, will search a bit
Do we go Internal Bleeding on pure ST, Caustic Spatter as soon as there's any extra targets at any points?
yeah pretty much
For example, roots on Ansurek
I would just run Spatter everywhere
Oki ty
Haha ok
what other buttons do ret have besides divine storm
never played that class, but thats all i see
spec
if i played pally, its either prot or holy
might as well play dps war if playing ret
!wax
Bubbling Wax is roughly on par with whetstones and are free. Some caveats:
- Right now having wax applied to your offhand does nothing. Make sure you apply wax first, then apply your whetstone
- The quickest way to farm for wax is pickpocketing the kobolds in front of darkflame cleft
- If you have no idea what any of this is, you need to start the questline with "Brax's Brass Knuckles", then walk into the inn and talk to the vent to start "Go Take Candle". Once you complete the short questline, you can pickpocket wax from the kobolds
Is it me or do delves feel awful
cant restealth, boss despawns opening from stealth
tricksing brann barely works
That’s why you go into delves with a tank friend
You can restealth np
i guess thats the move
I restealth mobs reset even if theyre on brann
and boss straight up insta despawns if i open on it from stealth
vanishing i mean not restealth my bad
i switched to sub and ran trickster with one hour tricks and it was surprisingly good.
do we know if the sim count the - stats form this trinket aswell?
usually if you hit something immediately after vanish its good
maybe ill try that thanks
uuuggghhhh i probably won't be home for another like 2 hours.
Which means i only have like 90 minutes before raid starts
wtf can i do in 90 minutes to secure some form of meaningful upgrades
Delves
Find a group
Start your own. Get a tank and heals and you can smash out your bountiful
Heals not even necessary
yeah probably a good idea
i think i got up to tier 5 yesterday? just did the 2 nerubian delves for the weekly so i should probably UNLOCK tier 8 before I go looking for groups doing tier 8
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I did the abyss one you need to get the 6 kits and then you get in the robot and shoot stuff then it’s one boss. Wasn’t too bad
That one in rolling deeps today with the swarming dude
We could have had it all
Can’t you dodge the swarm tho
i wish this trinket was better for us. it's flavor fits us perfectly
Not on last boss it’s like a 30 yard aoe
Isn’t there a center to stand in like the boss from ara Kara
Not that I could see

2-set for assa is somehow good? or nah?
better than nothing
haha okey okey
hey question, in aoe or ST after opener etc, should we use VANISH to reapply rupture and garrote?
is it doubled ?
i got nothing from raid last night, but at the very least i did a m0 ara-kara afterwards and got the E G G first try
we're starting on nexus princess tonight, fingers crossed for a regicide (i'm the only rogue in the raid)
what is the stat pri for assassination rogue in pvp
Versa/Mastery
was there they off topic
Hey guys (first time playing rogue), how do you manage cds on the target? I'm using 3 abilities and the mob gains like 17 debuffs, it's kinda hard to manage, do you use any addon or ui to help with that?

if it's your first time (people are gonna stab me/sue me over this) i would highly suggest using hekili just as like...training wheels/bowling lane bumpers.
They helped me learn the spec and it at least keeps track of all your dots n stuff on the target.
If people are too badly off, just ping notrickz, he’s a super nice lad

I do recommend at minimum a weak aura

i myself am a first time sin rogue too (been playing for roughly 2 weeks) and hekili has at least been....useful
anyone got a wa that says shiv when kb is on targ but shiv isn't
tired of forgetting
need something with sound, screen is cursed atm
I can’t say I follow mister summerhowl’s line
IMO yeah, like start with Hekili as heavy duty training wheels, graduate to a WA when you feel you're getting good enough to not need hekili anymore
But weak auras do help
You can just add a condition on your Shiv to glow when KB is on the target
I am using a weak aura but I mean in the nameplate, its just so much stuff that I lose track of the important stuff (the dots)
Pretty sure it’s in Le’s group.
You can add sound if needed
Good plater goes a long way
Amen
we use shiv after kingsbane or before?
Before
And I’ve got the best since shadowlands baby
b4
iirc it's deathmark --> shiv --> kb, take a swig of tea somewhere in there
on luxthtos atm, gonna play around in triggers
Oh no; she has like
A single for kb timeline
And you can just add sound on the shiv triggers iirc
is there a recommendation on what we are catalyzing set peice wise, i got a champ track chest peice I can transmute for example
wait until you have 3 pieces
is it not a free catalyst per week thing?
hey @spice spire can you help me with a like.....discussion?
TLDR my raid is using RCLoot council and our BiS and Upgrade options are going by wowhead Raid BiS slots
but all of our BiS stuff is the "super rare" shit that MOST people are going to be hard BiS rolling on
so like other than that, what stuff from raid would count as BiS while we are searching for those super rare pieces?
every other week
still it's a limited resource so you want to spend it smartly.
Lol
bet ty as always guys
Thank you all for the help!! I've been using a plater profile that shows all debuffs and it became very bloated, I will test these ones you guys sent, thank you!
If your only 2 options are "bis" and "upgrade", then good luck
which setup is best for Brann in dvelve with rogues?
The only things that matter outside of cantrip stuff is ilvl, mainhand weapon, trinkets. Outside of that. Different wants at different times
I know when I did RC
Yeah, you definitely wanna blacklist all the trash. Gl!
Yep
!bis
BiS lists are not helpful towards gearing yourself. In order for BiS items to truly be BiS, all items in the list have to be obtained at that level exactly, or else it doesn't make sense. Missing a socket for example would shift your stats slightly. You should always compare your gear through top gear or droptimizer instead.
Pre-raid or Pre-season BiS is especially not helpful, and we do not have any of them. These are absolute meaningless bait for gear that you will be replacing the moment the season comes out. Use Top Gear/Droptimizer to compare against your character
Is there any info on what to craft with the spark this week?
Was ALWAYS requested
Pins yeah
made a wa that clucks like a chicken
Hell yeah
tier drops feel lower overall
Yeah we used Droptimizers on everyone to see who gets the most dps out of everything
This expac
And the major upgrades always required a sim
but they also made warbound tier tokens
yeah we only have like....5 or 6?
BiS, Tier2/Tier 4 (if rolling on a tier piece), upgrade, capped*, and offspec/transmog
BiS for us literally meant BiS
That’s rough
So literally no one in heroic would press it
Which I personally hate
Why even have a button for it
yup
but since our BiS is the super rare stuff (neck, cloak, ring from ansurek), i am like NEVER rolling BiS and skipping potentially major upgrades
What does the wowhead guide mean by "Rune-Branded Armbands and Rune-Branded Waistband are your two slots for Embellishments this expansion"
Cant we put embellishments on any crafted piece. what am i missing here
low ilvl budget pieces
Sure, but they're the optimal ones
We were a heroic and light mythic guild.
BiS was “this is my bis for a reasonable amount of time (it is only a mythic upgrade)”
You have tier pieces and other crap
you can socket a belt, can't socket boots
So like there’s a random trinket that’s extremely good and only bested by like a +20 box and the same item on mythic
thats why i think boots technically better
Not with that attitude
Then I’d click bis
spyglass
Sorry working too so slow
the real homie
mfw spyglass only simming a 0.7% upgrade at 606 and the vial of flayedwing toxin is simming at 0.8%...
skardyn's is beating both at a whopping 1.8% so i'm still chasing that
anyone know what Harvester's Edict shows up as? damage or buff? I can't find it in details
or is it fucked and just not working and that's why
It's definitely damage
hi quick question , what about this trinket?
https://i.imgur.com/OJQYHkM.png
Because its not in the trinket tier list , where would you guys rank it?
Might not be "Harvester's Edict" in Details though
You gotta sim it homeboy, we can't tell ya
!spark
Personally not a fan of party-buffing trinkets
its not on the dungeon rotation
It isn’t part of this seasons dungeon rotation, so it will very quickly become irrelevant due to ilvl
fell off the cliff, is now somewhere in the ocean below....
the tank trinket from that place is
ah got it , worth changing it for harvesters edict?
Idk how good either trinket is, you’d have to sim if they’re both same ilvl
i am wondering at what like....level of gear would you consider spending money to enchant stuff? since enchants are still absurdly expensive
Just in the near future you’ll be replacing either anyway
depends on your budget
you can get the budget versions pretty cheap
is it worth on Silken Court to delay first KB / DM for the charge? doesn't line up if you use stuff on pull
i've seen people radiant power 3 on 590 weps
most of the items have budget version enchants
i got the champ track boots from council of dorn at rank 16 so IDK how long i'm going to have those but i still want to put something on it...
i put defenders march 3 on 610 pvp boots
since i can always use them for that content anyway
for rest of season
ye
like i WILL opt for a discount variant if it's available
but even for boot enchants the copper versions and silver versions are still like 8k+ (since they cost both a tinderbox AND dust)
dust hotfix should be in
guys use CP at 5 or 6/7?
i saw rank 2 authority of storms for like 6k
but my adhd hunter gatherer gremlin brain can dig up like 1-5 tinderboxes a day (if all i do is hunt down treasure boxes and wax piles for several hours) SO REALLY i think i am just going to ask my enchanter guildie to make it for me with concentration and i'll give him the mats
ye this is what i am waiting for
5+
yeah i mean even then paying for your guildie's concentration
still cheaper than a random
yeeaaaahhhh AH will scalp ya, especially on a tuesday
remembered yesterday prices SKYROCKET on tuesdays b/c everyone is buying stuff for raid that night

if i wanna sim something , do i just copy my current gear with simc , make a quick sim , then change the item i wanna check and export my gear again for simming?
You can just use Top Gear
To sim different items
that's a report to the BBB (better business bereaux)
How many delvers bounties can you recieve weekly? Is it capped?
like i once sent a guy extra in the mail when he told me after that he spent conc
to make it
but thats because its timegated
what beggar weapon enchant should i use? sin for m0 and m+?
ALSO i'm on thrall
Thrall is omega horde pilled (I'm a nelf) so the alliance trade chat is like waaayyyyy more expensive just due to lack of competition
went onto my hunter (my main, he holds all my gold, troll) and found a guy willing to r5 my belt for 7.5k and was willing to do it with r2 mats. (I had invested in r3 anyway)
tried finding something similar on alliance, guy was one of those like handlers for multi-crafting associations and wanted like 30k to r5 a pair of bracers, 10k to r4 it (i went with the r4)
idk, i just put the mastery one on my weapons until i get something worth putting big enchants on
yeah my warrior is on a dead server
so its hard to even find crafters for it for common stuff
Most ally on Thrall just use Horde trade chat for crafting orders and send from their ally toon
I do find it funny when some of the NA realms are named after dreadlords
TBF i started on Muradin
made horde characters on ravenholdt
moved main to thrall when guild at the time wanted to move to a more populated server
rest of alts left behind on other servers
this past christmas: 90$ for like 9 server transfers
move all my alts i plan on using from dead/random servers to thrall so they can all be part of my new/main guild
mfw none of our leatherworkers are going leather b/c they are all mail classes
its important that they double and triple up on mail crafts
GRANTED
i do find it odd
what did u bois craft
THIS is our current team comp. we have more mail men than leather daddies so
since there's more leather classes than mail
from a moneymaking pov i'd think leather is better
bracers belt, so that i can throw a socket into both when my vault eventually fucks me 🫠
THAT SAID having so little competition for tier tokens 
haha
what embelishment are we using
i went with double dawnthread
solid for both raid and m+
from Whispyr (on wowhead)
nah i just used the base spark
oh okay, can we recraft after without another spark?
ye
awesome
consumes the mats again but no spark needed
don't need to replace spark, missive (for stat guarantee) or embelishment, just the mats to make the item
"only"
out of curiosity, are yall catalyzing delve gear? is that even worth? I want to use my cata, but I think it would be a horrible idea til first vault
ASSUMING YOU CAN GET ONE, i would catalyze a hero track piece you get from using a map
one of my friends did this, he got 1/6 hero track pants with leech. now he has 1/6 tier pants with leech....
you have a hero track piece next week
