you get mark from full combo point envenom
are you trying to say that on pull, you're losing stealth and can't open with ambush to get your mark started?
i think people were saying earlier that there's a shaman totem bringing people out of stealth
i've not started raiding yet so i've not seen it myself
f
but if that is happening you would just have to use vanish early to get it applied, its a bit of a dps loss but nothing else you can do
yea im using vanish on open
is there a bug that deathstalker does not trigger at all on the fight?
you can vanish a lot more freely now that the build doesnt take imp garrote
so its like a very small loss
hmm ok
looking at the parses for rogues... i think we have been had and outlaw was the way to go the whole time lol
might be a dumb question but do you want to purely envenom during kingsbane?
and if so that means the goal going into kingsbane is to have a full rupture and garote up
outlaw is stinky
important thing is 100% uptime
garroting outside pandemic to set it up and holding kingsbane for after a pandemic refresh are both bad i think
yeah yeah that makes sense
I guess I'm asking is it ok to garrote and/or rupture if it's going to expire while I have kingsbane rolling?
yeah just trying to figure out how to get the most out of my kingsbane haha
ty for the info!
better to ask a theorycrafter instead of a shitter(me) but my lil heart tells me youre fine and just press the button
yeah i agree, (not the shitter part) especially after kingsbane got halved, you can hit max a lot quicker

envenoms instant damage doesnt even do anything with kb stacks though right
just da buff
feel like I'm really energy starved. always have my bleeds up but I guess I'm spamming mut too quick?
!design
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
not having energy in ST is normal
you press envenom for buff uptime
dont mash it for the instant dmg
tldr
makes sense ty
is it worth rushing 2 piece set, or am i better off waiting to catalyst a hero track piece?
correct, though any ability cast can trigger a poison proc (and mutilate can proc twice) so spamming energy during kingsbane would be a minute increase
so envenom/garrote at 5+ CP and make sure envenom buff is always up?
the bigger thing that seems to impact my burst damage is not letting deathstalker's mark fall off for too long
you gotta get that thing right back on man
total dps loss when you include the downtime tank from having no energy after it ends tho right

¯_(ツ)_/¯
used to just focus on bleed uptime and then mash (in like bfa XD) but nowadays envenom is a 3rd plate
it's generally recommended to dump energy during cooldowns and pool outside of them

just losing my stealth on pull
thx gamer
tru ig when u say MASH buttons im assuming u mean like using all ur teas for it and shit
which sounds scary
you can spam pretty hard inside DM KB without needing to do that typa shit yeah?
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: https://github.com/SimCMinMax/WoW-BugTracker/labels/Rogue
but prolly correct idunno im a dog
dm gives hella energy ya
Can't wait to use the iron wire nerf as an excuse to talent +0.5%dps instead of it
what do I do with my carved crests
send the carp outta them
anything, they're useless after this week, get good stuff to 603 or w/e
it's the valorstones that're more important yeah?
yes and no
not that much, but it would be good to start next week with 2k and a couple bags
not the end of the world if you don't, though
bags?
!chart
some quests award you with "valor bags" that only get transformed to currency if you right click them
similar to caches
ahh I see
don't really have much that's worth upgrading but I'm capped on stones. I guess I'll upgrade harvester's edict I got from mythic earlier
or anub'ikkaj actually
if you're running m0s regulaly i can't see how you'd be capped?

i got a weapon, send on it, melted my stone count
trinkets, shoulders, all that stuff melts crests
yeah I got a dagger guess that's probably the big upgrade
Is depths enchant over tuned? Damage it does looks wild
probably intended, but yeah way over the others
So what should I craft first
!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
What ever pieces you need after raid / mythic
yeah depends whether you're raiding or not. As long as we're doing fine progress in heroic this week, we'll save the sparks for after the raid
max that big dam
just did. 606 now
this dagger right?
yes
am i overthinking how difficult the opener can be with mark falling off, restealthing optimally for improved garrote, shiv timing?
this thing used to be easy peasy but there can be a lot overlapping where 1 GCD feels a lot more punishing than it used to
Guys many people are removing resounding clarity for rank 2 lethality
any opinions? or its just better?
is this only for ST or in dungeons as well?
im talking about raid
nah we definitely just have a pretty long opener lol
but if u break down each part to understand why ur doing things in that order it makes more sense
you use the first one before kingsbane
last I knew lethality for DS, resounding for fatebound. maybe i'm out of the loop tho
ooo
deathmark -> shiv -> kb -> shiv at 8s kb
deathmark and shiv x2 have longer duration than kb
you overlap the entire kb with both of them
!stats - for gems just do what the robot says stats are always shifting for every character
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
also alternatively you can just sim yourself 
!guide - you can find recommended enchants on wowhead but same deal, wowhead just comes from sims

When do we use tea on single target
pair with shiv as long as you don't overcap energy or if you're about to cap tea charges
its insane that Deathstalker's Mark is still so bugged. just disappears on single target encounters for no reason
raid is out and our spec doesnt work lol
are you ambushing after the opener
i know
i had DN and i didnt get the mark after 7cp envenom as well
can u answer the question
if you ambush to reapply mark and then consume DN buff with 7cp envenom while you have 1 mark from the ambush
your thing drops cause you dont get dn back
seems to happen for me when sending Darkest Night with one mark left, so if you can help it maybe spend a rupture or less than 7cp envenom there?
When the boss fights get longer i lose my dps alot on single target
Energy starve alot
the only time it disappears for me is when I have one mark left and darkest night is on
when I consumed it, it gone
no theyre just making it auto consume a charge
it's still a button, just procs automatically under 30
it is pretty bad though yeah !
wait what
Which trinket is our bis
Arakara sac brood and skardyn grace?
worst worst is ER
so treacherous is bait right
no kidding these bugs make me wanna stick to fatebound for a while
i actually was overthinking a BIT, my WA doesn't have a pandemic glow for improved garrote to stop from promoting overwriting it early but i wasn't thinking of pandemicing the improved garrote
lots of people do the same
i was doing that until m0s came out cause my main issues were the envenom bug and mob hp
but theyre still similar
where can i find all the bugs? !bugs seem outdated
i need to focus the most on extending shiv reapplying deathstalker's mark and have plenty of time to stealth garrote
so instead of fixing ER they just nuked it huh?
i mean
the new one is better arguably
the patch notes are kinda strangely written but it wont be an rng minigame anymore
just buffs the next 2 finishers
when u shiv
passive?
seems like a smart way to remove a button without removing the hypercharged combo points
yea, after shiv ur next 2 finishers act like they consumed +2 cp
its in the pins 
one thing that is nice about ER right now is if you're energy starved its a really easy way to get out of a deficit
since you can easily extend envenom with little mutilate
yeah ofc
i dont really mind
fuck ER that shit is actual cancer design
i will not miss any part of it
i mean you don't have to build to 5 CP you get a bigger extend with minimal mutilates
keep the envenom train rolling, build back up the energy
ER definitely won’t have the impact anymore
Energy wise
But maybe more burst better idk
9p damage lmao
you can already put that to the bug list
it will be answered in 6 months
i mean it better right, having to worry about not going over 5 would be uber cancer
either way if you were getting all 3 er procs on ur kingsbane envenoms and then a 5cp or whatever
that would be the worst thing of all time
lets goooo
or more if it goes over 7
9cp Darkest Night Evenom with shiv, tea, and amp rolling 
the way you can sky rocket with an ambush proc would mean they almost have to make 8p and 9p a thing
would be pretty based
but yea idk i love that change so much now that i understand it
literally 99% of my problem with ER was it not being guaranteed in burst windows
am i overthinking how awful it would be if it doesn't go over 7?
Is new changes a buff or what. Someone tell me. I'm big dumb. 
every envenom over 5 would feel so awful
yeah dogshit rng
i mean not necessarily
its replacing ER which just guarantees 7cp
so 
but youre still punishing the player for something you cant really control
if u got a 6cp itd still be a buff and a 7cp it i guess wastes the charge but like whatever
yeah but that can be like 5+ mutilates worth of CP
which is CP generation
ye true lot less than the other one tho
i prayge
design wise its weird to be a loss even though you didnt go above your CP
give me big darkest night envenom blizz plz
theres probably already an answer to this on ptr
but i dont want to log in and look at what it is
i played for like 30s to understand the patch note and went back to live
did they already announce bugfixes for current issues?
is there a better sim than droptimizer?
if you're at 6 CP with an ambush proc and darkest night with an almost maxed garrote do you suck it up and monch the garrote or waste the ambush
i am pogging in my boots rn
runed crests I use for a craft, right?
sheesh
i hit 600 earlier from a delve map and also pogged
those things are crazy
hero track from an easy ass delve
god i just need a better stabber
i got stitch fleshes crit mast weapon and big pogged
i've never slammed stones faster in my life
i got r4 crafted bracers (dickhead unionized crafter wanted 30k to guarantee r5) and r5 belt (much more reasonable horde crafter only wanted 7.5k to guarantee r5)
ive gotten crit/verse everything this week. big rip
might be going outlaw at this rate
time to go outlaw
jk you cant play outlaw without like 15% haste or whatever cause adrenaline rush got shot in the back of the head for no reason
hf!
oh damn
is mad queens mandate bad for us?
sooo fucking lame LOL
balls stat for them but theyre forced to get a lot of it to function
Omg they made outlaw use more than crit/verse. They ruined the spec
i mean ultimately gear doesnt really matter as long as the simulation tells you your number go higher
but it just feels bad
Idk about that
yeah, outlaw hasnt needed haste in a while
to take a cd that was already working fine and then nerf it n force u to change ur entire build around it
is this an M0 O_o
It feels bad cause they don’t get to slam 2 secondaries and not care about the rest of the stats anymore?
yes
yeah breakpoints are cringe and annoying
when its all for 1 spell
Outlaw players are cringe and annoying so it’s deserved
a piece with stats on it that should be good for you but arent because it pushes your haste low enough that ur cooldown stops working properly prolly feels pretty bad to see!
The cd still works tho. It’s not like you press the button and it does nothing lol
i strongly believe whoever is responsible for rogue design does not play rogue at all
What specs are y’all enjoying in raid so far
!stats

How much haste should we go for minmum
thats not a thing on assassination
Is 5% okay?
getting stressed of deathmark bugging
the first sentence
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats.
half the fights i got cucked by something
There are no required amount of any stats.
invisible has to be trolling

If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
prolly but i'd rather give a real answer anyway even if its a smug answer
Outlaw doesn’t feel great atm imo
if you're fatebound you literally just send crit mast, if you're deathstalker you gotta sim
cause wow players really are that fucking stupid sometimes
Debating on swapping to sin or sub just can’t make up my mind
whatever you have more fun playing
unless ur guild is like top 50 it doesnt matter
XD
I like em all, I usually swap around
gear all of them then
Getting the gear is a pain in the dick this early on lol
ur gonna get items at the same pace regardless u just hold on to extras that sim better on the other specs
except crafted stuff i guess
thats pretty aids
You play sub at all?
i tried sub, realized i had to go back to the dumby for a while, and didn't have the energy, mostly just cuz sub was so far ahead on smoly
I played ass for the majority of S3, then swapped to sub for smold and tindral
any valor stone wasters
Is fuuu’s sim chart up to date?
dont have any to waste
i played sub vs target dummy for 10 minutes when my guild got to smold
then swapped to ret
Lmao
does anyone have the sheet that shows the 2/4p tier bonus % gain
nice!
this only applies if you ambush again with DN already up?
!dn
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.
we take those
wheres that sim spreadsheet

two weapons from delve maps? 
guys im having an issue i hope you guys can help me, can i make the Mark WA to track only my mark
Any chance I can dm you the most mundane ass wa question this weekend?
That's up to you big dog
Listen man I don’t wanna get blocked because I’m an idiot
I’m making sure it’s kosher first 
You won't
Bless
Because you're not 
No I definitely am 
All this build up for a basic question I gotta mark my calendar and shit
Nah it’s more “that’s when I’ll have the time to actually look and sit down and do it”

idk search message history in here about it
theres an actual explanation i think but i dont remember it
This isn’t an “I ask a question and if you don’t answer immediately I’m gonna be mad. 😡”
Is outlaw the by far strongest spec as of now?
I treat messages to and from me as how asynchronous communication is supposed to be treated. If I send a message to someone I fully 100% have no expectation that they'll respond any time soon because everyone has their own shit going on that I don't know about. And the same in the other direction that I will respond to things when I feel I can and don't rush myself
outlaw cant fight its way out of a paper bag
Outlaw players are cringe and annoying
Same shit.
Glad to hear it. Truly 
What an awful day to have eyes
why when I am in the chat would you respond to this making me click through this message chain
why would you do this to me
you guys simply dont understand
both
same
had to ask for a 5 min
break
to just mentally meditate on it

Drop any daggers?
B tier. Just like your takes 
Just a normal one off second boss
I’m definitely uh
Rusty as fuck
@slate crown pet your cat

anyone with spyglass noticing its proc chance seems so low?
you are so right

Nothing. I'm sitting on my crafts till another day. It'll be like finding $100 under the couch when I see the 3 sparks in my bags
Ur so real for that
nothing like getting all crit verse jewelery from my bountiful delves
I got 3 pairs of shoulders in a row
shoulders i got are crit verse but got haste/mast ring crit haste haste/vers back
theres only 4 bountifuls..
2 days
oh yeah
NA 
is wax broken? Didn't proc in raid lol
Coming from you that means a lot
Skill issue 
fuk
Can someone explain the PTR notes to me? Supercharger is just ER with a new name, Forced Induction makes the CP’s act as +3 instead of +2, and the new ER makes your builders after consuming deal more. That about right?
ayyyyyy
ring chest shoulders gloves necklace and I got the dagger from grim batol
Is it meant to be supercharged points like how ER works now though? Pin says next two finishers, but what if you don’t land at those points
Sanguine blades feels so bad, when are they going to rework that talent?
I WANNA DO DMG AND PRESS BUTTONS HARD
what do I craft if I rogue is only for splits ? I dont have a weapon
How to do u boys handle your cds on ovinax
do u just send
or wait to vanish and nuke the parasites
2 piece armor dawnthread
no wep ?
then nerubian MH and nerubian bracers
oh weapon then
then do the 2 dawnthread way cheaper
and DPS is very similar
but sim it just to be sure
if u care anyway
yeah i feel dumb too
@balmy condor is the double vanish dream alive with these new subterfuge changers
Wait poggers

oh my brain totally ignored subterfuge when I was reading
I didn't realize that's what the change was

surely situational 
u still have to go thru soothing darkness and cuck one of the other banger talents down there

ye no thx
when does 12s ic/imp gar actually matter
i guess you wouldnt have to vanish in the opener
on fatebound
or maybe u still would idk
no u would
i guess just giga pulls in m+ or wack casters and thats it really
simply vanish without pressing ambush
ik what i have to do when and if i vanish

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
wdym why is that a problem
when u vanish even on ST even on deathstalker u dont rly ambush anyway
unless u missed to ambush at the very beginning
so spyglass/skardyn is our overall bis for assass?
yeah its basically branch without having to kite orbs
are those trinkets bis for raid AND m+?
yeah it's like 8.5k crit at 597
Would someone be willing to review my logs
and crit ramping
I can tip in gold or whatever
I am not doing so hot
Im not sure how to make a thread for it. People have done it
how much should this be
i set it to 60%
spooky spooder
How is our damage in the raid compared to other classes so far? I have only tried on a slow ass laptop. Still did decent damage.
!enchants
is sanguine blades required for every build?
or i can get rid of that shit and finally enjoy smashing buttons?
What are we gonna complain about now?
sanguin blades isnt why youre not smashin
It isn't used in some builds
what is the reason then
I actually hate pickpocketing these kobolds for the weapon wax
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
You need 1 every 2 hours
yea its the opposite actually
dont you have to apply to both weapons?
sanguine makes you smash more
!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
brooo i know those things, point is in the past you used to pool energy before toxic blade came up so you could spam envenoms
now even when shiv is up it feels wrong to fall below 150 energy
i mean you still do that but also you have tea now
You do the same now
even if it drops below 150?
Yeah
being below 150 is good you want to be below 150
You're supposed to spam on shiv windows
i see
thank god
you play around envenom uptime instead
jokes on you i play FB


but fatebound is the one that takes sanguine in raid

i know xd
hmm
i dont mind it, i just thought you play around sanguine blades all the time
at all costs
and that kinda felt like i was trolling
From my heroic logs was anywhere from 65 to 80%, think 70 is safe like oli said
What did you play in raid and did you have fun with it?
DS Vs FB
is fatebound even worth running?
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
havent seen a single assass rogue running it lol
they sim very close so its really preference
Yes because coin go plingggg
i mean if ur minmaxing you just go deathstalker because its better
I played both, first boss heroic I played deathstalker and was reading chat and didn’t get my mark so -1 hero talent tree for 2 min
Played fatebound for the next 3
but if ur MINNNN MAXING theres probably some dungeons where fatebound would be better because its stronger in mass aoe
Played both on ovi’nax, got the kill with deathstalker

But I legit cannot see a difference in my logs
might give fate a try then
The fatebound pulls on ovi’nax were literally neck and neck with deathstalker
Fatebound is is more fun imo, even though its passive. Lucky coin is peak fr.
getting like a 10+ coin streak feels so fucking good lol
adding dopamine tracker to ur weakaura is based
Yep
Fatebound honestly is more attractive to me now simply because it has more pooling as far as I understand
Dude I hate it but I also need it for edge case cause I’m an ape
I love gambling, so this is perfect 😎
What do you need for edge case?
Does tricks bug out applying mark or is it just me?
Am I missing something rn?
Nothing really but seeing both heads/tails gives me a brain input to cold blood
i use it after edgecase to see if i fucked it or not
but i dont actually use it like
when im hitting the macro

Ahh
I want to go back through the raid on assa to see how it feels
I don’t like staying below 50 with deathstalker, feel like I’m just always pressing buttons and feeling the energy reserves being depleted
So probably be fate to just always be pooling
Cause I like pooling
is master assassin back? has this been asked 500 times? 
No one knows, and yes
guys, do u know wt heck with Bubbling Wax? works perfect on dumy but not on raid bosses
or is anything that I don't know?
currently bugged and was recommended we don't use it
ohh, thank u mate
Legendary pad with dn and ctw on little spiders on ansurek
i'm not seeing a crazy difference between DM and fate, might just stick with fate
feels nice
With the supercharge talent and shiv interaction, is double shiv back on the menu boys?

Even in M+ I mean
Man I hope so, single shiv feels so bad
i agree
just missed organge log on h rasha 😦
Lie
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
does that mean we macro cold blood onto kb instead of onto envenom?
Any way to use deathmark, kingsbane, shiv faster, or it's gcd ?
gcd
What build is good for bloodtwister?
what do we swap on raid for cleave
do we just swap internal bleeding to spatter
or do we need to swap more
I focus boss 5head
or do we just ST unga bunga
kk
i was slapping as sub but assa is simming 80k higher still
even tho sub was doing like 850k ovr
so might run assa tonight see how it goes
in any cleave situation i really just apply bleeds for regen n focus main prio
n pray for a bomb proc
On logs I see a lot of outlaw and sub, does assa is better with 2p 4p maybe ?
hi buddy, I have a question.
Sin rogue have snapshotting on the bleeds?
Algari Mana oil simming pretty good as a cheaper option over the whetstones
whetsontes r stupid expensive
yeah
Wherstones are so expensive yeah like 6k each
mana oil it is
this algari oil is 232 crit and haste for 500g r3 or 200 for r2
not bad
dunno how the wax stacks up though
and we can use with wax right?
wax does 0.0 dps for me
So bubbling main and oil off ?
dunno
I heard bubbling dont work on off hand
people are using bubbling because its freer essentially
bubbling didnt work on mainhand for me, i had it on mainhand for the full raid clear
Even the application on off, I need to change my daggers placement to use it
i just did lfr sikran for giggles, and my wax did 0.6% of my damage
I didnt check my wax
but.. on bloodbound horror, wax did 1.3%, granted there's a bunch of adds
Don't show wax on logs yeah
i mean it's a free alternative to runes, so can't really expect much
My wax don't show in all kills
Even on buffs logs weird
gonna try this deathmark/blood macro
For m+, if you didnt take iron wire. where would you reallocate that one point?
Hopefully nowhere
Because iron wire is really strong
iron wire is honestly a must need with the amount of caster npcs in these dungeons
ah, yeah its just i saw it was getting nerfed by 50% and was wondering if we would take a point somewhere else instead
!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
also damn im i high reading the class changes or is thistle tea now just whenever we go down below 30 we get 100 back no cd
XD
same
i was pissed about the change tbh untill i saw that part
i was ready to mald at the auto using of tea
Going below 30 can be a challenge in m+ tbf, but does that mean we have a near permanent mastery buff if we spam
But then, we csnt spam fully due to envenom buff
It’s still 3 charges
So, it might end up pointless?
what ilvl can we craft to currently?
Can’t we still manually use it?
really? its not a challege for me it feels like
It just has an auto trigger
and 0 cd
That’s just datamine nonsense
Ah
yea thats fair
Makes sense
Cos I was bamboozled
But they added the trigger
Could just as well say energy is remove as put no cd no charges auto tea sub 30
if we craft this week, what ilvl can we make?
606 I think
Good
Maybe, but then I'd assume it's still not worth to spam all abilities to have 0 energy, instead of pooling properly
Could I craft boots instead of belt? Or is that advised against?
Cus my trinkets right now is that one, and pvp on-use
!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.
I don't have any other decent ones
That’s fine
Then get a replacement for your PvP trinket
Then you aint dotting enough
That thing is ass
Unlucky
fair more like i never get tanks that pull more then 3 /cry
But for now I'll have to roll double on-use, hopefully I can get spyglass or some shit today
cant get them juicy packs
Why is belt and wrist preferred? Is it because of the socket opportunities?
Because I crafted boots
Low stat budget
So they decided I was a silly sausage
Less ilvl impact
Ahh yeah because mythic track goes higher
Yes
had a disappointing personal night while raiding, gotta figure out where Im goin wrong
stabbing more solves everything tbh
More stabs, more dps
yea not bad at all
I got 12 ilvl gapped by quite some of our people yesterday because they just spammed shit since early morning while I was working 
I keep using kingsbane before shiv in 2 shiv charge builds, because I’m so used to it from these past weeks playing only 1 charge :p
xd
yea not bad to keep untill u get sac or deadeye
Not like logs matter start of season
Same
603 flayedwing simming better
Boss dies job done
oh yea lmao
593 empowering crystal was simming higher than sac tho for ST

I'm still opening with garrote on DS build about 25% of the time
No it was just a personal raid performance thing dpswise and it felt weird, because I usually have higher ilvl aswell 
Hand faster than brain
bro i do that so much
and then half way thru pack im like
pressing fok st kinda sucks 
my mark 
same...same
im to used to it
Hehe, I think I’m around 99% ambush at least 😅
No, literally one of our cool looking skills 
The homies love the 0.03% earlier silence i suppose so im doing my part!
my assa sim is 874k, sub sim is 796k haha
😅 im dumming today after delves to get used to it coz after ovilax we got kyveza which needs alot of ST sauce
need to make deathstalker my 2nd nature now
I often ambush with DN active in AoE also :p
At least I'm not alone
the entire way the mark is applied is kinda
weird
but whtever
rest of the stuff is very very good
tanky and dmg and all
This has been the opener since azerite gear I think?
yea wish they would just let us apply it with other stuff
its still limited to one target so like it wouldnt change anything but meh we will get used to it
I believe (I may have read wrong) that the subterfuge changes will let us get away with messing it up?
But I dunno if I read it right
Just make your WA bigger. I pulled one out of lisonnas wa to have an additional tracker

All rogue packs in 11.0.5 patch: will show 270 energy instead of 300, or 30 less then max 🤣
yeah ig
We steal

who takes subter tho. am i crazy?
Read the pins
Its with the next patch
He is talking about
High end m+ players because they’re better than us
We can't even open right
💀
They have deep understanding of how to lose damage
ah i see
But with the changes might be reasonable tbh
Thats why they dont take IW sometimes
So that they can lose more dmg
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/78475343#difficulty=3 this is my logs for our run tonight and I just got hard gapped by my fellow rogues, I don't think Im using KB as much as I should and Im definitely behind in envenoms
what would we drop to take it tho echoing seems to good to lose +
Bigger pool of damage, more to lose
u r s@xier than all of them
Fellow rogues? More then 1 in a raid? That’s crazy
Just play fatebound
lmfao not the passive version rom
lmfao valid
Has PTR fixed the bug yet to work with hero?
Im not a fan that a anima charged cp doesnt count as a full envenom for deathstalkers marke 
Probably if they reworked it
yeah that bug sucks 
when i lost my deathstalkers mark because it if i almost jumped off the map to make a statment
they need to fix that so reverb will add so much qol
If this gets fixed, then it might jingle my jangles a bit more
u can reset the tree in just 1 ER
Doubt they will fix anything until the rework now
I have a stand alone WA that covers 5 combo points coloring them white (for finishing) that activates on a charged combo point.. my brain couldn’t handle it otherwise 😅
Mine go sparkly
From the WA in the pins
And it's too damn fancy
I ain't here for sparkles, I'm here for blood
ye 
hey guys, is assa the preferred spec for raiding rn too?
Outlaw deals a lot more damage, it seems. But it’s harder to play, and different stats
It is when I'm raiding
(Don't listen to me)
yea outlaws like second top dps on logs but seems viotile
Are there any other websites for talents aside from wowhead and icy?
Woah
theres also like 2 people playing it xD
As long as assa is the preferred spec in m+, there’s going to be a lot of ppl raiding with it also.
Likely, but honestly they'll not be as good. What's the issue with wowhead?
I just thought there was a Website where you could see the talents been used the most
forgot what it was called
Oooh
subcreation?
why would
Theyre about to be disappointed once they see it was bought over 😦
I just check logs on bosses.. All stars (dps) > choose a boss > choose a spec
And you get most used talents
disappointment is when u see the electricity bill
others are very minor
😅
do we ignore clear the witnesses with vicious venoms or nah
Yes
kk ty
Ez
tell them ur sending a check on the last day before they cut off your power each month
which site can i check that in?
then dont send them the check

thx
They take mine auto via bank, but if there's 0 in the bank, how can they take it
Big brain
Are there any major benefits to take Fatebound over the other one in raids?
@balmy condor lord whispyr sir,we dont fok for ctw with vicious venoms?!We just mut?
Coin go pling
Satisfaction. Besides that I dont think so.
nvm found it
Gotcha
im getting old
appreciate that
you don't have to track marks
can't lose it to random intermissions or adds dying
lord its just fury warrior in that list
Some of my biggest problems was losing to ads dying
Assa being far down is good if you currently like m+ 😅
fatebound is same rotation minus the building to max for marks and shit right
and u just CB your Envenoms
But theres a dps decrease right
legend
but sims for DS also assume mark uptime
Mathematically there is
which is not consistent
In reality not really
Is assa performing as bad as warcraftlogs make it seem? Or just really outlaw friendly raid?
and whenever you lose mark in raid u cant apply it again until vanish
outlaw is just good, but same as every other spec is suffers a lot from low uptime
u also need haste for law
Remember to factor in opening with garrote by mistake into the sims as well, and you'll see fatebound jump right up with DS
prob a bit better then sin with alot less players overall
yea outlaw is quite intimidating to new rogue players esp
Assa is goated wdym 
outlaw players are creatures who only play outlaw
Hey, just a quick question, is Assassination having Energy problems currently in raid?
!best
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.
!energy
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
We don't mention those people
"creatures"
I like it when my ideological opponents are dehumanized 
Nah, I had several 100 logs s3 DF playing outlaw and I hard swapped now because I like dungeons better, and I don’t have loads of time to raid. I like assa 👍🏻
Cos you are a cool cat
notice how its both the coin flip spec people 
Hah!
xD nah i had to stop playing outlaw after one to many bad roll the bones and could never go back
Damn I have to change that color, I’m bullied every day
ummm.... does this means subterfuge is going to be good?
I wouldnt know why, unless you played caster before or even slower games
its sin, not assa, and welcome.
Fatebound is 16,600 dps lower than DS for me
on ST
I just remember, back when you needed to keep juggling to get good rolls, I had so many WA to remind me what was good - screen was full of sparkly green shit everywhere
Are outlaws even capable of changing color?

🤣
After that, nah from me. Even though that's now gone
min-maxing BTE can be quite troublesome for newer players, although its a bit easier now with bug fixes etc
there was a time where i was playing outlaw and DH and my life was a coin flip weather i would do good dps
i quit wow for a time after that lmfao
No effing way lmaoo 
Idk, sounds like every other mechanic
damn pins did not show me there is an update.... thanks for pointing it out to me
I swear to god I will suspend Whispyr by his balls if I get another one of these things
Do you need to talent into that
Whispyr becomes a nerubian?
uhm 2 point nodes seem to be 100% incentivizing us to not dip into Lethality 1/2. In a world where the majority of 2 point nodes are getting nuked, we are getting more

LOL
I will commit war crimes
Promise?
Yessir
Sounds like a good time thought
i got like 3 in 4 delves yesterday and like 4 helmets from m0 and delves
I mean no one is forcing you to take the full column of supercharge
Only fight in raid which I found a struggle with ds was court. Constantly lost my mark half way, guess I need to getting better and switching it with the 7cp envenom
But ds felt pretty good last night
lol just read the new ptr note
are they trying to remove 1 rogue button/per ptr patch?
As fererans irl friend and delve partner I can assure you he WILL get another delve trinket
bone spike-gone,snd-gone,echoing reprimand gone
Brother people are hating on er left and right
let them remove it all
And they hate on buttonbloat all day

Atleast it did something for you
That's a waxy boi right there

bubbling wax still bugged for offhand?
ME
Correct was just pointing out the addition of a 2 point node, which has been rarer these days.
it was bugged for off-hand?
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
I dunno that it was bugged, or just wasn't meant to work x2 ?
Would be like generating a poison bomb per hand
Or am I being a nunu
literally, all they need to do it fix rep so it works with ds
Dumb question of the day. Do we maintain crimson tempest when fighting single targets?
Yes
2+ targets i think
normally double weapon buff amplify the effect, not the proc rates
