I haven’t been able to get the other half of my second spark, and I’ve done all the weeklies

I just crafted wrists

saving last spark for a dagger if I dont get one

I was gonna say, this just adds to the duration of everything? Or was there something else

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 stilletto dagger got changed from 2.6 speed to 1.8 speed. Maybe this makes it viable, not sure yet. (Edit: It's awful don't craft it)"

royal lantern
#

cool idea, but does no dmg

steel jay
#

from pins

runic hinge
#

It also has self damage

novel horizon
#

since i got 603 wrist/belt from delves, and i have shit 580 daggers should i craft daggers?

runic hinge
#

Crafting a dagger isn’t a bad idea

royal lantern
#

i cloak it

runic hinge
#

Oh true

royal lantern
#

another big thing

still tree
#

so the subterfurge change is that it adds duration to things that already interact with breaking stealth? So Indiscriminate carnage would be 12 seconds total if you take 2 points of subterfurge, for example?

#

If I'm reading it right?

royal lantern
#

Sub finally, FINALLY gets some fixes

sage star
#

What's the pvp dagger ilvl 610?

#

The one we can craft I mean

novel star
#

might be really good but it seems kinda like situational? idk

limber lion
#

6s for the actual effect like you would get now

#

And then the 6s from the lingering effect

it makes it not literally do nothing for sin at the very least

Probs a Subterfuge angle for M+ at least

That's cool

Some use for it

how much value is continued ic over starting caustic burst, i guess hella in m+ but depends pull size CB_shrug

also the echoring reprimend changes + new supercharged combo point stuff reads like "yo that talent is broke as hell and we can't figure out why, so we're making a new one that doesn't use the legacy code"

the siphoning stiletto is bad, right?

I swear Darkest Night somethings just vanish from existance upon appearing

if pull is 6 mobs or smaller you’re spending a lot of talents on subterfuge for no gain in that pack

shiv giving you the ER points seems kinda bad though no?

lmao is the double vanish dream for sin real now

#

are we so back

#

Just free anima cp right

novel star
#

maybe

#

would they be okay with 4/7 animacharged?

#

ER only does 3

vivid crown
limber lion
#

I mean we can't know for sure if it's a smart system and it targets slots that aren't anima'd

tepid charm
#

What if it was called anime charged and it put jpegs of anime girls on your screen when you consume them

limber lion
#

Or if it's just rng

#

Who knows if we have to try to hit the animacharged points first before shiving again

#

All down to testing

haughty flicker

digital venture
#

is this any good? Or the pheromones trinket is better?

cobalt sphinx

#

Personally not happy about echoing changes because I like the button myself, but this is a good way to keep the animacharged concept while reducing keybinds which is a noble goal.

vivid crown
#

ty!

haughty flicker
#

i will miss my er button

#

but it is with us in spirit

slate crown
#

I don't think it's a bad change

#

Just not my preference

haughty flicker
#

yeah im not opposed to it

#

i have too many free keybinds now though

#

what am i supposed to do

novel star
#

if they make it stackable i think it works fine

limber lion
#

I like all of the changes

#

Very rare

basically a 4p ER on 60s cd instead of 45

How much gold to craft waist and dagger with spark ?

dapper cradle
#

are we going to have an insane IC window now?

haughty flicker
#

i assume it'll be 12 seconds with subterfuge yeah

limber lion
#

It's not gonna change too too much

royal lantern
#

tbf, how much bleeds do you wanna apply lol

haughty flicker
#

idk how much gameplay it actually impacts

#

bc yeah

limber lion
#

You were already able to spread most bleeds with the previous one

haughty flicker
#

how many bleeds do you need

dapper cradle
#

bro I want everything bleeding

limber lion
#

But the 12s MA + IG is dank

fallow sonnet
#

so is assass worst rogue spec for raid?

limber lion
#

Actually making Subterfuge and MA useful in Mythic+

haughty flicker
#

12s MA almost covers entire kb

limber lion
#

Very cool

royal lantern
#

like, what pulls do you have where 2x garrote->2x rupture->maybe 1-2 garrote is NOT allready everything dotted full dracthyr_kek

#

can you run two dawnthread embellish?

haughty flicker
#

yes

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

!dawnthread

prisma monolithBOT
#

Dawnthread has the same bug as Blue Silk Lining from Dragonflight where it fails to stack.
In order to fix it and trigger your second Dawnthread, take damage to drop under 80% health, then heal back up.

dapper cradle
#

do you think the supercharged combo point will work with DN?

limber lion
#

Probably

dapper cradle
#

or is it still gonna have to be natty max

haughty flicker
#

that seems to be the intention

bronze dune
#

Was anyone able to solo a 8 delve as assass?

Im to just craft next week when things settle out lol

dapper cradle
#

it'd be tight if it was

wet thistle
bronze dune
#

I was strugglin harrrd at the last boss

limber lion
#

Would be very weird if instead of changing the bug, they introduce new talents, that still share the same bug from before

#

Sounds like a fever dream

bronze dune
limber lion
#

I'm super confident that's not gonna happen

dapper cradle
limber lion
#

Nah I have faith

#

We're chilling

#

So I missed the convos about it most likely, but subterfuge change doesnt seem like itll matter much to us

limber lion

Ok Whispyr taking 20 mins to type out a pin again

#

I don't want to read the notes

dapper cradle
#

the trickster changes for law are kinda pog

i want whispyr to tell me how to feel

limber lion
#

Time to go to bed and read it when I wake up

Auto tea, auto ER, auto SND, what’s next

wet thistle

Tricks bran, figure out which casts do the most dmg and prio those, bran I've completed with both healer and DPS, run arrowhead

Hey lads, i did raid tonigt and my overall max dps was 560 while DKs and DH/hunt did the double of it. Im alone struggling ?

But just looking at the ER changes

idk

also lol at thistle tea auto activating at 30 now

((i would still like a chose 1 node for tea auto activation))

devout sphinx

is this thing decent at all (apparently it's not properly implemented in raidbots??)

haughty flicker
#

i have to play the er changes

limber lion

It's a lot better and removes a button

do we upgrade 593 gear from m0 or we save it?

Supercharged is the new ER

tawny geyser
royal lantern
limber lion
#

ER is the old Reverberation

#

And Forced Induction is the old RC

grave dove
#

and still no echoing blades continues holding breath

open mountain
#

Supercharged is adds 2 combo points
ER max combo points

frozen iris
#

Whats the weak auras thing?

#

!weakaura

#

?

royal lantern
#

!wa

limber lion
#

ER adds 1 combo point

open mountain
#

Says on the tooltip supercharged adds 2 combo points worth to finishers

limber lion
#

It sure does

#

So it's twice as good as ER

#

With a lower cooldown

#

(for 2p)

uneven plume
#

Shit don’t matter

open mountain
#

ER anima charged combo points don’t treat the finisher as 7cp?

limber lion
#

Oh that's what you mean

#

Well if it highlights 5 and 6 CP

slim pebble
#

These changes sound cool

limber lion
#

Then it's 7 and 8

#

So

open mountain
#

Supercharged combo points just add 2x so if It highlights 2nd combo point it hits like a 4cp finisher

limber lion
#

Probably gonna be like 54 then 3 2 if cast again

#

I'm thinking

brittle cloud
#

Is ascension on dagger just as good if on an offhand?

dapper cradle
#

yeah no way it's gonna supercharge 2nd or 3rd

raven egret
#

so, hard doubt

open mountain
#

That’s what the notes say

limber lion
#

The only change that is weird to me, is changing how ER works entirely but still calling it ER.

More PTR Notes
Video

Echoing Reprimand Rework:

  • You can read it as "shiv empowers your next (1/2) finisher(s), causing them to act as if they were cast with 2 additional combo points (3 with the talent).
  • Instead of echoing reprimand, it's a two point talent for 1/2 finishers
  • Instead of resounding clarity, the effect goes from 2 additional cp to 3 additional cp
  • Instead of reverberation, mut will deal additional damage after consuming a supercharged cp
  • No longer need to finish on specific combo points (no mini game)
  • In general this is just full passive, bigger burst, bigger envenoms during shiv (hello twist the knife), and these are intended to count for deathstalker interactions as well as per the dev note very clearly stating "any ability that scales with combo points spent"
  • No more minigame, no more button, same style

Cheap shot

  • change is nothing, we won't press it most likely, gg.
  • that being said, subterfuge makes it maybe possibly sometimes usable in some situations perhaps. Niche as hell

Subterfuge

  • Now extends effects, instead of overlapping them
  • 6 second base + 6 second subterfuge = 12 seconds on imp gar, iron wire, master assassin, carnage
  • Can be REALLY good, or really meh
  • Previously the 10 second carnage duration wasn't really used much, nerfing it to 6 didn't do anything negative. Can improve imp garrote uptime but is pretty minor for garrote damage on first glance. With how many mobs we pull and already garrote, most will end up being wasted probably anyways
  • This can give a bit of control back though and allow for crazy iron wire silences (I'm frankly expecting more nerfs to iron wire)
  • Without a trace maybe good now? POGGA

Fatebound Edge Case

  • Fixes the lame cold blood interaction thing, you still want to use it after edge case but can maybe macro to kingsbane and be fine

Master Assassin/Iron Wire nerf

  • Entirely expected with subterfuge changes
  • Frankly the nerfs probably need a round two, iron wire especially is crazy

#

or not

#

im confused now

royal lantern
raven egret
#

oh yeah read that wrong then, it adds cp to the NEXT finisher(s), it doesnt supercharge specific CP like ER does now

if that is the correct interpretation, I'm happy

It's true

It's just gigachad

is my reading comprehension off, or is master assassin a 12 sec buff with subterfuge?

New Talent: Supercharger – Shiv/Roll the Bones/Symbols of Death supercharges [1/2] combo points. Damaging finishing moves consume a supercharged combo point to function as if they spent 2 additional combo points. 2-point talent.

How do you read this as your next two finishers?

balmy condor
#

There’s no trigger condition

#

It’s just finish -> +2

Whoa that's way nicer

#

shiv/symbols(and RtB? outlaw moment lol) are even more bursty now

trail mica
#

the wording is atrocious in the blue post

balmy condor
#

Wording is fine what

loud light
#

the wording of "supercharges two combo points" makes it sound like old ER/RC

#

but it's not

slate crown
#

I don't think it's bad, you just have to kick your old understand out

#

because it says "Consuming the supercharged" points grants it

#

if your 3rd point is charged

#

and you spend 5

#

you're consuming the third point

still tree
#

yeah, that part makes it sound like current ER, but if it literally worked like current ER and could pick the 3/4/5 combo point

slate crown
#

that's that

do we prepull ascendancy serum or just use it and eat the 1.5s+

its simming 20k ahead of the vw build for me

almost as much as i hate boomkins

open mountain
#

So with your theory my 2 and 3 cp is “supercharged” if I use a 7 cp finisher that would consume both supercharged CP and give me an addition 6 CP to my finisher making my envenom act as if it had 13cp?

royal lantern
#

fuck 8

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

Is there a specific amount of haste we need for bleed ticks? i currently only have 3k (5%), i'm still simming every drop just to make sure. Just seems weird to be this low. New to rogue, just stopped my mage for so it's just weird.

Hey, quick question. How much haste can be considered as "enough"? ty in advance

I will say Deathstalker feels like poo poo should you not have a darkest night buff that lasts intermissions on some fights…. Sucks to just have no way to get mark if you used Vanish in CDs and get shafted on a mechanic

Top assass rogues will beat 98% of all outlaw rogues

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

does bubbling wax work as well as whetstone? or at least close enough for now?

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

so gg i guess

that info is from outlaw players though so take it with a grain of salt

I think it’s a hitbox issue

It’s a 4 yard radius

ah so if youre max melee

might not be hitting

balmy condor

But I think the bigger boss hit boxes

Are just too far

I have no proof

should it show up in wcl if it did dmg? I assume so right

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.

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

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

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

#

how come we vanish ambush without improved garrote in ST opener for deathstalker? doesnt it just ruin it by overriding our stacks back up to 3 from whatever they were at

Not “finishing on a supercharge point empowers the finish”

ah tru yeah

so looks like they're removing the manual use of tea

# whole sand

I don't know what you're reading it as so I don't know.

They are not removing the manual usage of tea. In fact the changes updated the tooltip to make that even more clear.

Tea is the same as it is now. It just also automatically consumes a charge when you drop below 30 energy.

#

The only changes from today are it is now 30 energy, not 50

#

it was already 50

okay, that's all

and a tooltip rewording

datamined notes are unreliable

i was assuming the charge removal/cd removel meant it was now passive afterall

slate crown
#

It is not.

whole sand
#

ye im just dumb Surebud

novel star
#

that probably means they were experimenting with making it passive overall

#

and datamined changes just include whatever even if its not actually a change (see ct in previous notes)

ah i see

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

what embellishments did you guys build?

haste is not relevant thats just assassination

if you dont want to play around energy management/efficiency youre on the wrong spec

Does a charged combo point from reprimand not count for darkest night envenom?

novel star
#

in aoe energy is a bleed uptime issue

prisma monolithBOT
#

Do I need to always be in stealth to apply a Deathstalker Mark?

  • Only the initial application. Darkest Night reapplies with a max cp envenom and will be the majority of your applications
  • Consuming a Darkest Night proc when a target has 1 stack of the mark will not give you a mark back
    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
  • Yes, you still want to finish on your animacharged combo points
    "it's not a bug"*
  • Yes it is.

I saw they changed all the wording for envenom to envenoms effect, does this make twisting blades work 3 times with rapid injection and dashing scoundrel?

if you have sanguine you wanna stay under 150 energy because reasons a command can explain better than i

I hadn't thought of that

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.

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

!stats

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
