Guild needed rogue so ima try the different specs
Might roll Outlaw as I dont like the arms feeling so far
tbh in basically every fight, me and the outlaw rogue were very close
Just hate that dps meter shows 95% BF in AoE

i mean
ur st damage is the same shit right
so u just ignore bf and look at the rest
Can't wait to crank tonight after i realized i was using the wrong single target sorta cleave talents all night for our normal clear 😭
or no
@balmy condor In your stream 2 nights ago, you meantioned you're running Sub in Delves. I am trying to find that talent build in your vod but I can't find it. Can you share those talents or elaborate on why you prefer Sub for Delves? Thank you. Disregard, I found it. Thank you again for your guides, they are incredibly helpful.

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
whats the ! command for the spreadsheet showing 2p and 4p dps diff?

hmm not that one
i thought it was that one too but it wasn't when I checked last night
tfw outlul outsimms sin even at 34% mastery 🙃
using nightelf into ambush doesnt procc deathstalker mark cuz it doesnt actually count as stealth right

How much of a loss is going "raid easy mode" fatebound vs deathstalker
!hero
Probably 2-5%
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
anyone taken on Zekvir solo yet in delves?
603 il base
i mean t8+ drops champ track gear
And if you drop a map it can drop hero track
i played AOE one in the new raid and i was number 4 in damage i think the best one is AOE cuz single target their is no crimson tempest
hey guys, i'm a new ass player and im coming from fury, main problem im running into is energy starvation, should i be sending abilities ON gcd like you would fury or do i need to slow my rotation down to conserve energy?
!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.
!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

What are people doing with crafts right now? Thinking of sending dagger + wrist, then recraft dagger week 1 with Mythic crests.

We need a bot to detect keywords and automatically type commands
as in one offhand one mh?
i may actually just swap to fatebound for raid lol
!enchant
I sim higher as fatebound
depths simss highest, but are quite expensive
both same price
nvm radiant power is 5k more
but try sim yourself depth sims highest for me
Would be so helpful
you guys see these yet?

Nope, no one saw these since yesterday here, no one at all 
its pretty poggies
Did the price of stormcharged leather go up?
Anyone know why caustic spatter isn't showing up on my plater?
I was going to craft the belt and go double dawnthreadbans I feel like it costs more to make than when I crafted the wrists
it used too /shrug
is there a command for the ilvl gear chart?
!talents
!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 anything good to craft with the spark this week?
Ion please buff us

@cinder parrot
ty
do you have deadly poison on your target
beeing a noob and doing the raids for the first time what is recommnded the raid single target or the raid aoe build from the wow head guide?
single target for like every fight + spatter if there are any adds i think
or you can just run spatter the whole time if you don't know if there are adds
internal bleeding is not a lifechanging choice node
so the aoe raid and im goode?
I do, wondering if its just not tracking on dummys
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/nerub-ar-palace-raid-tips there are builds for every fight right?
nerfs
xD
@mike Ty
Just needed a RL
raid aoe is good yeah i think that's pretty much st with spatter
It’s almost like this is about when tww should of been released
one more thing ER gets send on CD ?
hey guys i assume the scroll of momentum is bad on all ilvls correct?
cause the effect sucks balls giving MS
Hey guys, dose anyone know whats the best stats to do? i know crit=mastery >Tempo> Versa but what how many % of them
!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

so it tells me, t hat i need more haste than crit
how can i get coffer key shards?
World quests or you can do bountiful to get one back
Also drops from weeklies iirc
there have also been a few pvp world quests that give them
You shouldn’t use stat weights these days. Use top gear
is it worth caring about amplifying poison stacks in aoe? or just send envenoms on spatter target every time?

guys how much dps increase is the tier set? :o
are all the tier sets that "bad" in this tier?
oh okay :o
In aoe situations say 3+ targets do we maintain crimson tempest or do we use it as our spender every time we have 5+cp?
I saw a streamer spamming CT
Which ability technically designates what you "Priority target" is for assass
It's the one you want dead
the initial damage isn't worth it. the DoT is all that matters
aka no don't spam it
12 sec indiscriminate carnage pog

is that with subterfuge tho?

si embellished gear gonna be our bis?
like, if i got delve wrists i should make embellished anyways
yeah otherwise your character will explode
and all your gear will drop on the ground for other players to loot
hype
is it better to craft set items if I dont raid ?
if you have 606 bracers or belt, just make the other.
if you have 606 bracers AND belt, jsut make something else like boots
Whats the addon to see more stats about ur character ? like it shows the difference on ur dmg when u switch main hand dagger , atck sped etc
its not gonna really matter anyways
nah its just showing ur more stats about ur character
dejacharacterstats?
no fucking way
does that still exist
❤️
do you use dungeon slice or patchwerk 5+ targets for m+ sim?
dslice
It is for rogues
for other classes could be
he's a mage so it could be that
nothing is 100% accurate, but dungeon slice is a decent generalization of m+
It’s a gearing tool. Not an actual number generator.
aight ty for answers! back to simming
dungeon slice is bad if they haven't specifically done any work on it, and a lot of classes/specs don't

Nice
the best guide out there
Thank you guys
thats for aoe or single target?
If pvp dagger is an upgrade, what's the best way to aquire?
depends on your pvp capabilities and tolerance
you can get it in epic bgs but if you win all your skirmishes those are good too
so i take it if i just got a hero track chest i should catalize it lol?
dont use catalyst until u actually get set from it
its like 99% chance to be safe but
theres no point changing to mid tier stats unless it gives u the set
guys, can anyone tell me why do you grab a point of echoing reprimand without actually grabbing the last point to charge 3 of the combo points? is it worth for the 45 sec cd 1 animacharged cp? or should i ditch 1 point of letality to get the Resouding Clarity talent?
!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.
can we add the secondary stats for these in raidbots?
i dont see why i wouldnt catalize to this since its heroic track lol
because you're getting a 616 tier chest in your vault on tuesday
Do what you want @cloud basin
There’s no reason to spend charges unless it’s to enable 4 link, imo
isnt 2 set bonus worth going for?
Short term it’s good, but if you send it you may not get your pc next week
does anyone have the ID for the debuff given by deathstalkers mark?
dont we get another charge next week?
aight gotcha ty
For the Kiss of Death trinket, how long is it worth delaying it to sync with CD's, or do we just send it?
457052
maybe this?
doesnt work no 😒
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
The sets are weak for rogue. You only gain 1-3% combined so no need to rush using catalyst to make 2 set
I can accumulate enough points to buy 1 dagger this week? Not sure what the point cap is.
Because chest is the worst tier piece
why always evenom before deathmark or kingsbane? is it because the 30% poison application?
deathmark no? 😄
its becuz i need the ID to make my plater track the debuff so i can see it lol.
Yeah I just found those two outside of the one posted above
On mobile
So I’m rawdogging this
i know something else you can rawdog

its impossible to find the debuff lol
i don't see it as an option because its not farmable but where would we rank imperfect ascendency sirum? i got a 610 one last night it seems to sim pretty strong
main stat puzzlebox
it sims well or whatever but its just annoying to use
have to sit there and cast before cds
right, like puzzlebox lol
yea
xept this one takes you out of stealth when it finishes casting which is aids
What to craft 2x Dawnthread Lining is for Raid and M+ or what is better for M+
Can we slap Dawnthread Lining on boots?
quick question 😄 does anything about rota change massively from assa aoe to assa ST in raid? except for not using fan of knives i guess?
after getting crit high enough fatebound seems to be doing good damage at least until they fix ds
How high crit u got?
currently at 30 crit and 35 mastery
and crit doesnt change shit on fatebound suddenly lol
sim bait?
your mastery is so fucking low wtf
why the fk do people talk about stats 
yea idk i have mastery on like almost every peice
it literally doesbt Matter
the best trinket is transmitter hands down
can you use carved harbinger crest to craft stuff or is it just for upgrading gears only?
Mini game lover
shame
quick question 😄 does anything about rota change massively from assa aoe to assa ST in raid? except for not using fan of knives i guess?
yes
the whole thing is different because you dont care about energy anymore
i mean the mentality is the same kinda because you prioritize bleeds over everything else
but its not really the same
Question for yall that I can't seem to find the answer via a google:
Do you know how the hitboxes work for player characters? Is it a "dot/pixel" under your character like in ffxiv? Or is it larger like a circle around shoulder width, etc?
Larger iirc
I was thinking of throwing a dot under my character's hitbox as a weakaura or something so I could help identify where exactly I'm standing, but wasn't sure how to position based upon it
ive been using a crosshair weakaura ever since painsmith
obviously doesn't always line up if camera isn't looking top-down, but it can be useful
For Caustic spatter and incriminate carnage, how is calculate the mobs around, does it depend on the player position, or it depend on the mob you target ?
Mob
Not for a while, until 11.0.5
11.0.5 (November)
like november or something
is 11.0.5 the 20th anniversary patch?
ye
first tier 8 bountyful... might have forgot about needing a key
should alteast let rogues use lockpicking for something!
right? Locked message should be red red if you can't pick it at all
any tips for silken court? Do we try and hold kingsbane for the damage amp? I think first charge happens a minute or so in.
I havent gotten to the fight yet, but I imagine we hold for amp
check if you have any of the fragments you can combine
was 78 short sadly
that is a huge difference between ds and fb
I couldn't get the timing to make sense, just sent on pull.
I think the caustic from stack on pull outweighs holding for debuff
why radiant over depths on your weapons?
got 5 trinkets and 3 cloak from my 8 bounty delves, can we get other pieces of gear like gloves/helms/pants?
Because depth where 200k po when I looked lmao
ds and fb are only 1.5% apart for me and 6% apart for you
oh damn ok haha. t2 depth was only 15k on my server
ive gotten bracers a ring and gloves
Rip 🙃
yep ive gotten boot leg wrist
also like 4 cloaks
I've ran 12 boutiful tier 8 delves and only gotten 1 map 😭
I have 2x Emb but only one buff ?
jump down a building
ive gotten shoulders, cloak, 2 weapons, and i think 2 trinkets. had at least 1 bountiful delve that gave me nothing but a radiant echo which feels fucking awful
lol
bruh
How to fix it?
Does anyone have handy how many crests you get per heroic boss kill?
Ok fixed...
Ik this is probably just a me issue but I wanted to check is anyone else having issues on the 2nd boss (heroic specifically) where they were being broken out of stealth or hit immediately as pull started?
toxic
Yeah the RNG map drops are not good
are you walking through the sludge
yea had that happen
I was max melee range but still eating shit even when I didn't pull
Idk if it was just bc the tank wasn't close enough or if it was something else
I'll try to be outta range initially and get in there
!tier
Thanks lads
it happened to me
i was inching closer to him right before pull
then he just turned and whacked me
Mans is viscous
@balmy condor Yo what we macroing coldblood too if we playing fatebound in AoE/M+
For our rotation, how much do you "push" to proc Darkest night? if you're one CP away to proc it, do you still cast a CP generator or try to let it happen "naturaly"
there is a self-highlight under options->combat
pog as fuck

Appreciate you
you force it
I feel exactly how the pins say
Aka i feel pretty good
so in theory/writing, shiv into 5 combo points SHOULD cause envenom to proc DN (since it acts like we're spending 7?)
hopefully?
Dumb question of the day: Do we use vanish immediately after the opening squence to apply improved garrote or hold it to for the next set rupture?
what's DN 
deez nerfs

who knows. another way to read it is that you still need to use a finisher at max combo points (7), you'll just get the benefit of a 9cp critvenom
HMMMMMMMM
which poisons are good for M+ and raid?
should i craft Rune-Branded Armbands or Rune-Branded Waistband first?
we get to use all of them by default anyway so
does it matter?
(afaik all of our builds dragon tempered blades)
numbing for dungeons, atrophic for raid
!up
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
You should be running dragon tempered blades which means you use both
is deathstalker mark still bugged with multiple rogues?
aka first rogue only gets the mark
Guys, how's Adrenal Surge Clasp for us?
based on the name alone it sounds like an outlaw embelish
what's the list of bis trinkets/gear pre raid?
So what’s the deal with the 610 PvP dagger? How do we go about getting it?
or if you're m+/Delves only?
for now it's still bugged afaik
ideally the new rogue changes are going to fix it

go to wowhead, go to assassin rogue, go to gear, click the m+ tab
anything you can get from m+ heroic/myth track should in theory apply to vet track stuff too
otherwise
every time in the past that I've tried simming things it's been a major pita. i'm not a min/maxxer just curious where my time is best spent
Droptimizer is best friend
^^^^
does sin rogue or sub rogue have better funnel / prio dmg in m+?
if my gremlin adhd ass can learn how to use raidbots, most people can
Why dawnthread is not stacking?
Drop below 80 to fix
Are you guys simming for more on sub? Sub is about 23k below sin for me
i refuse to bottom so i don't look at sub 
Do I have to do it everytime *
it should just naturally happen when you enter combat
(if you're telling me you never drop below 80% health you have a much bigger issue on your hands)
true tho 😄
What do we think about the update on the Tea change? "Cooldown changed from 1 min recharge to None - Charges changed from 3 Charges to None" What does this mean exactly?
wait is this true? i thought they said this was fixed a while back, before the raid opened?

empowering crystal or flayed toxin which is better trinket guys
if you are talented into VV you don't need to Single target fok
i mean this is just feels but i didnt feel like my mark was fucked up in raid on tuesday and we have a 2nd rogue
now, i didnt look at the logs or anything to check
mark worked fine with 2 rogues in my raid last night

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Guys. I am missing something. I see a lot of rogues doing tons of damage with sudden demise but I never do too much damage with these talents, my damage is all about envenom and crimson tempest. Any tips to increase the damage of my sudden demise? This is my last fight and my talents
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
its overall a minor thing, if you REALLY dont wanna do it, its allright
And it's not even optimized depending of the talent you take it's a loss
sudden demise damage is generally inflated against things that die fast (procs quick with a lot of time still on your bleeds)
don't worry about its damage, it's not worth trying to do anything to optimize around SD damage. it's just there to recoup some dots that would otherwise be wasted. plus the talent increases all your bleed damage
Should I apply my bleeds to the secondary target in cleave straight away or finish the opener on my first target?
guys, i have one question. i don't really know as i had played on "private" servers before starting tww. is the current max ilvl (635 or smth) going to be "updated" as the new patches come out? so is it going to be like 735 in the end of tww?
increases every season
got it. for how much?
Depends
Every raid tier the number goes up
that i cant answer
by whatever they decided
this raid ilvl be doing numbers (it keeps going up)

GOOD LORD i need a better stabber

reminds me of that one mission from borderlands 2
or team chaotix story from sonic heroes.....
YEAH GO COLLECT 10 HERMIT CRABS
ill do backflips for 12k+ agility for 20 seconds
i may have gotten NOTHING from raid (we got all the way up to ansurek) but i suppose the cosmos deemed my dps worthy as they gave me 2 consolation prizes: our 2 best trinkets at veteran level.
So with ST deathstalker in raid, are we still handling energy deficits like in S3/4 DF, where we kinda chill on the gas and pool a little right before cds come up?
violate 3 of the geneva suggestions conventions for a 12k agi buff for 15 seconds
i THINK so. that's how i've been playing and i am doing good numbers (i think)
Sin rogue cannot step on the gas for the full fight, you gotta like alternate between a sprint and a marathon.
GRANTED i am still very much learning, get a second opinion
i was the only rogue in the raid so i got both daggers

yeah, way out of practice but gave it a go on some dummies and was within 10% of my sim so I reckon thats a decent starting spot. Was definitely on the "I don't think I have enough energy/tea for this to be an 8 minute fight" though at the end lol
you can just craft a dagger if you got the 150k gold
anfd get the pvp one for OH
not if i spent both my sparks already
explain plz (I am like 1000% ignorant on how pvp works and gear is awarded)
My raid this week had 4 daggers drop and 0 rogues because I went DK, and suddenly the 2 dk's who wanted to go rogue went DK instead. So I might be out of retirement
is it a common issue to be kicked from stealth on start of bosses? Seems to happen way too often
its 610 static
inb4 we never see another dagger again
do epic bgs or skirms or something until you get an artisan's consortium invitation for 9 gladiator's heraldries and then craft a 610 work orde
yeeeaaaaahhhhh our stealth is kinda fragile
stub your toe? there goes stealth. get ticked one time on some random boss aoe? there goes stealth.
I've pretty much surrendered to the fact that I'll never be #1 on dps/damage but none of that matters as long as we clear the raid and I'm not causing wipes
that sucks for the mark ;/
take solace in the fact that you bring a raid wide damage reduction
much worse for mark are spiders that "burrow away" instead of dying, taking your mark with them permanently.
hate this. GET BACK HERE YOU 8 LEGGED BITCH
rogue can top on boss damage
i can attest to this
same here
came in second for the egg fight in overall but 110k higher than second prio boss damage
deathstalker has the potential to be there
not arguing that, but how much work does it take to get there?
everything takes work man
God damm every piece of delve shit i get is vers haste
u cant afk top dam
I guess I'm just getting old and bitter lol
time to reroll outlaw
TIME TO GO OUTLAW 
ignore stats and go for ilvl first,just sayin'
sin was fun in the normal raid, just sit boss and use your cooldowns on cooldown
I had 14k vers and 4-7k of other stats when doing normal yesterday. still got some 99 parses. stats don't matter on assa
not so much the actual fight as in the button pushing, but all the prep
the gearing....just seems so much harder these days
oh yeah you need to delve and that shit is not fun solo
its hard atm cause we all just started fresh
that's like every class. Want to top the meters? gotta put in the work, get the gear, learn the fights, learn your rotation, do your homework. etc
make friends with a blood dk. Easiest tier 8 delves of my life.
and having hundreds of thousands of gold for crafted gear is very helpful too
you can start selling mythic carries
they sit there and get whacked, i omae wa mou shinderiu and everything falls over
im simming and even 10 ilevels higher it sims lower fml
can someone explain why the BIS list shows different boots?
you can work a shift at mcdonalds and earn like 6 tokens
are there any wa that follows clear the witness buff
i......bruh do you not know how to read
what does the yellow text say above each list
Because Bis = ilvl + sims
There is no REAL bis
one is from raid one is overall
both drop from the raid, how does the BiS differ?
Its all about ilvl
Anyone feel like their fan of knives only hits 1 target sometimes?
also the guide writer just picks whatever
your BiS boots can be the crafted ones too
No really I get that. I've played since Vanilla and fought through the 40 man raid prep, farming hours for herbs to make flasks, and getting 0.5 gear to get to t1...I guess I'm just venting
cause bis is whatever
probably a mistake because nobody cares about bis boots

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
that and I'm broke af so I can't even craft anything
is Ascencion better than vivacity because its always up?
go mining and sell bismuth. rocks are selling like a god church rn
or honor farm and sell viscious bloodstones 2500 honor for about 14k gold each
yeah honor farm seems nice
ascension has 80 seconds of ramp so it is dog for any content outside of raid
my days of pvp are over. I tilt way too easy and I'm too old for the stress lol
this. i feel like we need a command just to tell people to go double DTL and explain why
well a lot of people like to min/max the raid encounters, ascension still has its place
we do

Then we need to spam that shit more
Why?
Do the stacks drop on some bosses cause of downtime? Like intermission on 1st boss, intermission on Ansurek etc.
in the end people will craft whatever people on WCL use
Yeah u right
(What does WCL stand for again?)
oh yea it is actually time spent in combat... For some reason I thought you get stacks by attacking.
Top 1 is using X thing that is extremely shit because he wanted to test, and the embelishment he's using is LITERALLY doing nothing but he played extremely well and got top1?
- Everyone is gonna craft whatever he has

Whats the name of the map that you can loot in a bountiful delve

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.
any one had success with Kiss of death trinket ?
is it really 2.5 min cd
that's kinda doomed
looking for the pins
well depends on fight length

yeah you'd miss a kingsbane almost no matter what if you played for 2.5m cds
you can death mark at 0, 2, 4 or 0, 2.5, 5 in a 6 minute fight and it's okay but you will be losing kingsbanes in that case so 2.5 min trinket is dog
not usable on a 1 minute class
if it's a 5 minute fight you could just hold the trinket until 4 minutes and don't lose anything...

yeah but in that case your trinket might be severely underbudget
Yea wasn't saying it's good
guys in double target we fon or mutilate?
that's probably the best way to use it, or send it with your 3 minute kingsbane
so with ER being changed in the patch in a couple of months, are we just resigning to ER not working with marks being intentional?
i'm gonna see if i can check what simcraft does with it
Simcraft might not be optimized for that.
it uses it at :09 and 4:14
seems pretty good actually
not even a major dps loss vs the ascendancy serum
simcraft forgot how to use the ascendancy serum though
I'm glad, means I don't have to use it cause it won't oversim other trinkets 
how are your guys assa m+ stats looking rn?
it is waiting for its own global again which is the incorrect implementation, and it's used 5 seconds before deathmark and 7 seconds before kingsbane which is a lil sussy
i feel like im low on crit mast but im not sure whats a good amount to compare to
literraly doesn't matter
oh true so its effect should occur 4 seconds before deathmark and 6 seconds before kingsbane
you could have 1000 crit and you're ok
so it actually linesup perfectly. (the cast might be 1.5 i dont remember)
it should still be used simultaneously with the 4 second slice and dice either way
Any rhyme or reason why if I’m fighting a pack of 4+ mobs sometimes I only get one CP from FoK while other times I get 4 or more?
It gives 1 additional cp per crit
You get CPs from crits
So if you dont crit
Does it only award CPs on the targets it crits against?
You dont get more cp
Ahhh
But if I use fan of knives against 4 targets and none of the hits crit would I still get 4 CP?
no
no only 1
Ok gotcha!
Welcome to assa 
I spammed FoK 4 times and rng messed up so bad that each time I got only 1 CP
So is it a combo point for every target it crits? Or is it when you crit your main target it gives multiple combo points for the other mobs hit as well?
I’m guessing the first one
Then on another pull I got full 7 CPs back to back 5 times and felt like a sub rogue in uldir 
Yes each hit
Mine got parried 3 times atleast
Shadowstep boys 😄
Do i only crit with 7 Combo points when darkest night is up or just 5+`?
darkest night needs to be activated with 7 CP, if you envenom with 5cp it'll be a normal envenom with normal crit chance
thx
thanks! gratefull someone is smarter than me
more like a bug they don't know how to fix
i get that a lot on second boss in raid
they probably want it to work but they can't get the code to recognize the er combo points as max
How is sin rogue actually? Also, is rogue much ilvl dependant? I am still level 78 and seems like sometimes I am getting outdps in pulls
i feel like im gonna get hit with a comet or something soon. ive gotten actually different slot upgrade pieces from each bounty and i got regicide and egg sack on first kills of the season.
3rd bossss cus our tankss where fucky up positioning all the time and spinned the boss like crazy
and ffs my S key iss broken
always double types it
xddd
ssssssssssssnake
you are backpaddling too much ingame
I feel like the spec would flow waaay better with it functional, and likely a chunky throughput increase
is a shame

Is this reason enough to just start running sub?
Can you play sub optimaly?
Optimaly, probably not quite. But played it a lot last xpac
man playing with no range in m+ feels so bad
My outlaw sims higher but fuck playing outlaw
but i mean thats a big difference
for what content
also what are you simmin
raid
what should I do if I can't play anything optimally? 
raid with caustic?
how do i sim myself?
that's not a raid build for sin is it
Your sim is low
that might have been my m+ spec one sec
what dat
LOL
Oh
one sec one sec
yeah, thats a cleave build isn't it?
My man out here hating the spec
do i sim as patchwerk?
yes
we've all done it tbf lol
my sin sims 30k above sub, both on raid st
!sim
hating the spec?
!sims
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
I wanna know why his sim damage is so low 
I only hate quake cause he keeps calling me old.
he has crimson tempest and sudden demise
coz hes running shit like crimson tempest
Even for sub
simmed ourselves to randomly find we're down like 15% st and go 🤔
His take was "why should i stay assa if i sim way more as sub"
Won’t lie tho
^ yeah i just accidentally simmed my assa in my m+ spec
Some of the bosses
yeah... and it was a function of simming his dungeon build
its simming now one sec boys
Fatebound might be better
sub is probably better for raid still though, their 4set is apparently really good
can someone link where i can sim pls

Ahh okay that makes a big difference now.

Do you have your higher ILVL dagger in the off hand?
change
Why do you hate yourself


Sub player inguess

higher ilvl daggy always MH?
"Why is my ass damage low"
😮
Thats like that for EVERY class in the game probably
whats the science behind that again?

oh boy
me too
ive been bottom dps all normal/heroic
lol
we raid tues/weds
not good man
omg
haha
What would I do without you guys. You guys are great
some stuff happened kek
is it single?
sim again
If you scroll up a bit I messed up. I ran it as my assa m+ build, not raid build
I will now
1 sec
yay heroic void reaper trinket
Ye I know that's why I was gonna say that 😄
So what is going on to make outlaw outshine sin now?
bit of a nooby question but how should one apply empowered (garrote + rupture) to a big group, do people just tab and hope for an unapplied target or is there some sweet macro for this?
pog!!
you just garrote the same target twice
and rupture twice
Gratz!
Spam it on the same target 😄
It has smart casting
You technically are not doing it optimally since the target will get an overwrite, loosing 1/3 apps
the second, since you're not trying to choose a new target not garroted/ruptured, you'll apply 1 stack to your target, and 2 new ones
Any chance sin pulls ahead for mythic raid or we think raid will be outlaws domain?
why is your offhand 610 and mh 606 or is it wrong in raidbots?
nvm
Royal just helped me fix that haha
But double applying to your primary target you plan on cleaving off of anyway for caustic isnt too much of a loss imo
can i fok in silken court when going for generation? instead of mutilate ?
do i have to rap uptime on both ?
how is your dps so much higher? tier?
when going with the aoe st
i think only with clear the witness buff
Ryan
you do want garrote and rupture on both targets though afaik
your build is still wrong

The 11.0.5 are a utility nerf for us right? Don’t see how any of it is a buff unless the deeper stratagem is more than just a tooltip change
Ok thanks !
It is?
which one should I be using?
and get 2 points in lethality
you also could change a talent there
What talents you play for raid ? single target ones?
12 seconds of improved garrote for iron wire
me? which one?
Are you using the non imp garrote build?
i have ss if u mean that
how much haste should i be aiming for, 2 mins into a fight im energy starved, got 6% haste, stat weights still recommending more crit/mast
Why tf do so many high parsing sin rogues go Rushed Setup instead of one of the echoing reprimand choice talents???
!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
you could test dashing scoundrel and check if it goes up @tender cedar
i changed that talent, gonna sim again.
it makes no sense- how does an energy utility talent for abilities you will never use in ST perform better than a literal dps talent?
thats a point actually
is everyone just copying some build out there that's wrong?
i will sim that
it's also improved poisons over imp garrote right
do you have tier?
Wowhead for me mainly
oh wait you said that
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/n8GkvEvFbuF1NpJWN16pdn
i changed that talent
Up you go rogue brother
We must find 2,301 dps
😄
ahahah
I have 1 tier piece, I havent used cata yet
do you have enchants
Not yet
Theres still something i dont understand
Whats up?
When I grow up...
Hmm... wtf
up you go too brother
5k dps actually
lol..
pretty sure i saw someone say outlaw was simming 1 mil + already though
Should I just copy your talents exactly? is something wrong?
or phexz's?
That bloodbound horror just stings in the eyes :C
is that 1 mil with tier or no

yeah copy mine
and resim
one moment sir
ayy is running a weird build too
having any wep enchants
wtf. i really am gonna die this week. im 8/8 on getting actuall upgrades from my bounifusl
remove ER capstone, put in lethality x2
is that norm?
how do you decide between vv or not on st
lmao yeh
Any chance you can send me that talent string? Cant find a copy button on your raidbots link
i accidentally tried to use tempered to prepot on norm bloodbound
so i had to start fight with no dsm
still was 728k surprisingly
day 1
should i macro cold blood when playing hand of fate to envenom and dont care at all ?
Well, i had no DSM on bloodbound and i was just running around 24/7 😄
it should just be the wowhead one
CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMjZmhZmhZAAAAAAY2glZAAAAAAottZmhZmxYmZWmtZGjZwwMzMmZz2YGgNzyADYJYZYCMsA
he's been changing it
ahhhh
yours was probably right a couple weeks back
gonna try simming now
which ring would be first and second choice here?
yooo lmao
The one that sims higher
that said, crit vers with lower ilvl is almost certainly the move to replace
im litteraly down to 12k gold =/
for me its simming within the margin of error
Why am i still so much lower than you

Yoooo for some reason my plater doesnt show CT
they make that big of a diff?
yeah
wasn't even implemented when i checked it
i was simming 800k before raid release
Any ideas why ? Im bad with plater i usually load up a profile and get done but i struggle with CT now
Our boy Ryan increased around 150k in 30 minutes
and i had a lower ilvl in my MH dagger

i wanna join the sim party but i’m on mobile 
as long as you have a way to avoid casting cold blood before/during deathmark until you have consumed edge case you can macro it to literally everything for all I care
What talent are u guys using for m0 atm ?
skardyns lol
wowhead bleed and hybrid are both good
Authority of radiant power bis for both mh and oh?
ds feels fun now that mobs live
Depths is bis by far
Been running bleed mostly at the moment for M0. Mobs dying too fast still.
ohhh which is our bis enchant?
Be me, a raid leader for a mythic raiding guild, miss the first normal raid because of a business trip that couldn't be avoided, be the ONLY class in the roster that can use regicide and have this happen -
How did I sin so, how?
btw guys u can craft double 610 daggers with pvp this week
not really worf the gold imo
ikr?
is only 30k gold
getting t2 radiant power costs a third the gold and makes a 593 oh deal way more damage than the 610 without it

12 keys no maps, my friend just got his third today
Maps?
oh what
hey if i want to do raid and m+, from reading wow head, it sounds like id choose bracer / belt as its not far behind raid embellishments, is that right? am i making any sense?
