yes

waxen oyster
#

didnt resounding get fixed

#

er rather

balmy condor
#

yes

sudden phoenix
#

Also do we save Vanish incase we lose deathstalker marker?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

with the bug

waxen oyster
#

oh right it was 2/2 with bug

sudden phoenix
#

its the only ability im not really sure how to use correctly.

#

some people saying vanish during your KB window to reapply garrote?

balmy condor
#

when the bug gets fixed, you would want to vanish ambush while having darkest night

sudden phoenix
#

ahhh

balmy condor
#

if you have improved garrote sure

#

it's either improved garrote during deathmark

abstract canopy
#

holy shit did echoing reprimand get stealth fixed?????

balmy condor
#

or getting the mark up earlier by vanish->ambush with darkest night up

#

or if you're playing fatebound, you vanish for edge case

#

those are the 3 conditions

sudden phoenix
#

Thx!

balmy condor
#

np

waxen oyster
#

edge case procs off deathmark

balmy condor
#

it indeed does

waxen oyster
#

which always seemed weird

#

since AR is a much shorter cd

balmy condor
#

yeah but the way coins stack

upper wraith
#

what sim do I run for 5 targets again?

balmy condor
#

makes it kinda fine

balmy condor
woven torrent
#

if assumed the bug wouldnt be .. if at 0 combo points what exaclty does vanish ambush give when DN is up? i mean it doesnt proc it does it ?

balmy condor
#

I'm assuming you're not trying to sim a dungeon

fleet pagoda
#

there was a broken interaction with ER nodes and internal bleeding a while ago, that got fixed right?

somber nimbus
#

i think my DM is disappearing on ansurek after she pulls

#

is that normal?

upper wraith
#

I just want to work on my rotation at the 5 target dummies

balmy condor

#

is scroll of momentum playable?

balmy condor
#

sure

#

you'll replace it next week anyway

#

go wild

#

have fun

weary spear
#

lol

#

whispyr your raid and m+ vids go wild bro. could you do a vid on how to min/max ST damage

woven torrent
#

is gar gar rup gar gar rup with SBS not up , a edge case? in what category does that fall? vanishing in a chainpull while the initial targets still living ?

balmy condor
#

if you dont' have sbs talented

#

you would need to change your opener

tall cradle
#

guys what embellishments we go for?

balmy condor
#

!craft

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

woven torrent
#

when is this the case ? Like how would the pull have to look like?
SBS is up as soon as something dies that has it applied. On every pull i would theortically have it up no? so what would have to happen for this to be applicable

#

a chainpull? like am i stupid 😦 ?

old obsidian
#

rupture then slice?

harsh ingot
#

i cant solo 8s is this because im bad and stupid and impatient? or is it just hard for rogues

solid ivy
#

is this also like this in deathstalker AOE situation? sounds strange with sanguine bleeds talented

agile inlet
#

Hi, Pin checker/Lurker here. What do we craft if we're strictly m+ gamer and not gonna touch raid at all? Is it weaps?

balmy condor
#

I just said it

agile inlet
#

Ah i see

#

lol

balmy condor
#

if you don't have bone spike, you would need to generate after your rupture

#

since rupture won't fill your cp

woven torrent
#

Ahhh

balmy condor
main urchin
#

i wonder how this will function. will we be able to add another full duration ontop of the buff we get ?

solid ivy
main urchin
#

and when it says up to two times. does that mean that we can reapply once the former buff is out ?

slate crown
#

And when there is overlap, the effect is increased per stack

main urchin
#

dang, that sounds juicy

#

but when you say its own duration, does that mean that both effects are ticking down at the same time ?

slate crown
#

Yes

balmy condor
main urchin
#

ah, i was hoping it would extend it

slate crown
#

Their individual timers are ticking down at the same time.

#

It functions like Ironfur or Flawless Form

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

its basically identical to ironfur

main urchin
#

yeah, makes sense

exotic hearth
#

Does dawnthread not stack....????

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.

woven torrent
#

is sbs on trainings dummys bugged ? i dont get the combo points from the second one

solid ivy
agile inlet
#

!missive

safe sand
agile inlet
#

so i see wowhead says Haste/mastery. If i'm solely M+ guy is its haste mastery b/c we get so much crit elsewhere?

balmy condor

#

for missive*

balmy condor
prisma monolithBOT
#

Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:

  • Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
  • Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied

As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.

alpine oracle
#

check the trinkets i have, for m+

#

is telling me to take the candel?

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

it indeed is doing that

waxen oyster

stat proc trinkets are better on aoe for assa than direct damage trinket

Anyone have a ST rotation video 3-5min? I'm having trouble keeping good dps after opener/burst

balmy condor
#

burst spec does burst then does bad damage outside of burst

#

as long as you're close-ish to your target dummy sim

alpine oracle

like is candel better than spyglass?

balmy condor

you're doing aight

Hey guys, quick question before going to bed : When you got DN up and you start a pack stealthed, prio spread dots with IC then apply marks ? Or Apply marks as first CP spender?

balmy condor
little cipher
balmy condor
#

there is literally 0 going on rotationally

somber nimbus
#

is survival broken

#

our hunter is killing it

#

on ansurek

balmy condor
#

they're okay

iron carbon
# balmy condor the first

That's what I thought... But it should be proc when? Between Rupture/Garrote and CT or after Caustic?

balmy condor
#

wowhead openers have it after CT/caustic

#

but if you really want to apply it before that

#

who am I to stop you

#

world isn't gonna explode because you envenom'd instead of Ct'd

alpine oracle
#

btw, candle from my game tooltip it says around 2600 crit and the one from raidbots gives 5k, would be that??

runic hinge
#

mine will

alpine oracle

or is bug the one from the game?

i heard someone saying we should save runed crests. am i fine upgrading a hero track dagger, or do i miss out on something by doing so?

west crown
#

High ilvl dagger = good

#

Hero is good rn

fast olive
#

ok sounds good im sending it then

iron carbon
#

To optimize crest, you should upgrade only stuff 2/6 Hero or higher

balmy condor
#

and if you want to optimize crest you should hold your toothbrush at a 45 degree angle

#

and make small circular motions

shy pecan
balmy condor
spice surge
#

People ultra minmaxxing their gearing and crest usage and then they go into the raid without pots or forget to use deathmark on cd and end up missing casts

I'm gonna be real with you, if you're not already subscribed and simming yourself vigorously before the pin

#

you should save the money and ignore the pin

#

ain't relevant to you

real granite
#

bro

#

m+ season didnt even started

balmy condor
#

well you don't have to sim for m+

#

there's 2 builds

#

3 technically I guess if you're weird

real granite
#

zerocool angry noises

balmy condor
#

the talent nonsense is single target raid bullshit

#

m+ is so stable it's crazy

#

you always play deathstalker

#

and you always play iron wire

#

and then you're either cringe and play without a trace because you have no concept of reality

#

or you play resounding clarity

#

and then you play either of the 2 builds

#

it's a very straight forward flowchart

royal lantern
#

like, gotta remember

yes, there are techincally 2000000options cus you can do with any form of combination bettwen imp.garrote/imp.poisons/VV etc....

vale shore
#

the only patch note I want to see is something to the effect of "In combat, if you have no Deathstalker's mark up, gain Darkest Night every 15 seconds."

royal lantern
#

but those are really really minor things

#

i doubt you can even notice them

bitter solar
#

I would like another 45 minute videos from Whispyr about why without a trace is questionable as a choice

balmy condor
#

nah

#

at this point I have given up on the m+ community frankly

vale shore
#

I think Shadowheart will be meta soon

woeful wigeon
#

is it me or is bleed build m0 ways smoother they hybrid

balmy condor
#

I will offer it as an option like I did in the pins

#

and if people want to play legit one of the most troll talents assa has ever had

#

then that's their decision to make

balmy condor
indigo mulch
#

Hybrid is the way.

#

Just like Fatebound is the way.

balmy condor
plush bronze
#

but if i dont take without a trace then what am i supposed to do? come here and yell that the tank wouldnt let me restealth and thats why my dps dropped 80%?

Shadowheart is bae.

last day a tank was chain pulling i said to him bro if you dont let me stealth i dont do dmg guy made a macro stealth now i pull XD

balmy condor
#

sign says from stealth

#

not from vanish!

#

accurate!

vale shore
#

vanish gives you stealth though?

balmy condor
#

yes and no

thorn fjord
#

no soup for you

balmy condor
#

from the player perspective yeah

#

vanish gives stealth

#

from the code perspective

#

vanish is not stealth

vale shore
#

but you get both buffs

balmy condor
#

that's what you think

#

in boss fights you don't get the same stealth as when you're stealthing out of combat

woeful wigeon
#

imagin we are able to get auto stealth when out of combat that wud be so smooth tbh

balmy condor
#

and vanish technically grants its own version

vale shore
#

you just dont drop combat, but its still stealth, isnt it?

was legion

with crit lego

balmy condor
#

I mean 8.3

#

if you played haste

waxen oyster
#

8.3 i played outlaw

vale shore
#

so what, exactly, was the design goal of Shadowheart? Other than to invoke the name of our girlfriend who goes to a different game, in canada

waxen oyster
#

pretty sure

balmy condor

crit builds didn't care for 8.3

agonizing poison

balmy condor

7.1 was heaven in comparison

#

agonizing poison was so much better

agile inlet
#

Anyone know if they changed embelishment this Xpac? Do the ranks not matter for how much Crit / stats etc. they give? its just difference in recipe difficulty

balmy condor
#

I'm offended you would even compare the two

waxen oyster
#

real reason people care about st in m+

#

kill boss before it does mechanics

#

because most of them dont know what they’re doing

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

agonizing in single target was legit just ramp during your opener and then do insane giga deeps

waxen oyster
#

it was just boring

balmy condor
#

it was just kingsbane squared

royal lantern
#

tbf, its a long time ago, most people just remeber not liking it, not in greater details why

waxen oyster
#

also gave you a reason to sit on boss

balmy condor
#

and people fucking love kingsbane

waxen oyster
#

and never leave

balmy condor
#

??????

#

so assassination then

waxen oyster
#

legion pb is probably my most disliked mechanic

#

of this spec

royal lantern
upper wraith
#

i keep forgetting caustic

#

help me brain

next parcel
#

where is SoB in sergeant bainbridge

willow cloud
#

So first time rogue this season, but I gotta say, being able to blast in kingsbane window, and then chill, and hope the fight ends up being divisible by 2 minutes in length, is its own kind of gamba rogue.

balmy condor
#

reason to sit on boss and never leave

okay so then weapon poisons, caustic spatter, deathstalkers mark, envenom uptime OMEGAKEKWMAN

royal lantern
#

huh

waxen oyster
#

idk all i remember about bfa

#

was it was kinda trolling to not play outlaw

#

in 5 mans

woeful wigeon
#

yep raid leader told me go adds i said go youre self aint dropping my stuff for 10 sec trash fight

balmy condor
#

but assa is add damage this raid

waxen oyster
#

thats just called a bad rl

balmy condor
#

that's why you play assa

waxen oyster
#

if they dont know boss mechanics

#

ermm damage profiles of specs

#

Although which adds

balmy condor
#

you're not doing your raid any favors sitting on the boss doing 25% more than the tank

waxen oyster
#

ovinaxx feels like a better outlaw fight

#

than sin

woeful wigeon
#

yeah but running a marathon for adds that die from ranged in max 10-15 sec i aint gone waste time running

balmy condor
#

it is a better outlaw fight

if my guild forces me to craft now whats the play dagger darmoon and armor patch? or wrist waistOMEGAKEKW ?

@balmy condor you activated all raids buffs on your dungeon slice sims

hey question, should we be timing kingsbane around the lingering darkness hero talent? obviously were not gonna hold it super long but is it worth doing?

isn't it more realistic to desactivate all apart from BL like fuu does ?

possibly dumb question but looking for confirmation. I was told ascension embelli is over-simming. trying to figure out my plan for next week is and I was leaning towards the dagger/writhing but wanted to check.

knotty nexus
#

bro i paniced

mortal elm
# balmy condor you always rush to get the mark back up

Thanks, lastly if i may - I know we aim to chain for max envenom uptime but if we have high energy, i.e early on in the fight or for whatever reason would we still wait out the envenom buff and refresh as close as possible or can we cast more envenoms in that time, aslong as we dont starve ourself

balmy condor
#

you're chaining out of cooldowns mainly

#

but yeah

#

you would slam envenoms

#

instead of overcapping energy

#

you want to maintain as best you can

#

but if you're getting to like 270

#

and getting nervous

#

just go for it

mortal elm
balmy condor
#

np

ancient tangle
#

but why would fuu make this sheet if the DS sims have no values ?

#

i know it has caveats

#

and mutliple DR are better

balmy condor
#

DS sims have value

#

comparing specs is braindead though

#

sims were never made to support that

#

and they never will

ancient tangle
#

what do you mean

balmy condor
#

like if you want to compare outlaw to assa or mage to warlock

#

sims don't do that

#

like they are simply not made

#

to do that

ancient tangle
#

but why can't you compare outlaw to assa on a DS for exemple ?

tawdry basalt
#

Hey im new here but not so new to Rogue. IM like super struggling with my DPS in Raid so far. Can anyone like look at my log? See what im doing wrong maybe? im just so confused and getting frustrated

balmy condor
#

because the specs are optimized to different levels, dungeonslice is a synthetic situation that doesn't replace a real dungeon, timing on burst specs like assa versus sustained specs like outlaw are valued completely differently, etc etc

balmy condor
#

players inherently do not play at the level of sims

tawdry basalt
#

Do i post the log in this chat?

#

What do you mean

#

Like im not using it properly?

indigo mulch
#

You prob dropped your mark at some point and didn't reapply it.

balmy condor
#

I would assume you're not reapplying your mark

#

lemme check

tawdry basalt
#

Okay IM probably just really dumb, but like the only way to apply it is with stealth right? and I used vanish as much as I could

soft void
#

Only way to reapply mark is to vanish right?

wary musk
#

Hey guys quick question. What is the best use of shadowmeld in dungoens? Right now I'm using it to reapply dots in aoe if things are still alive after the dots from the opener end, but idk if there are better uses for it

balmy condor
#

yeah

indigo mulch
balmy condor
#

you lost your mark 1:40 in

tawdry basalt
#

So im missing an ambush out of vanish?

balmy condor
#

and then never got it back

tawdry basalt
#

then

golden plaza
#

hello, perhaps a dumb question but most openers are ambush into garrote ~ etc, how do you do that without subterfuge? because the guides dont usually talent that

balmy condor
#

pretty sure you applied the mark to the boss right before intermission

#

and then the boss disappeared

#

and you just forgot the mark afterwards

tawdry basalt
#

But how do I apply it without vanish

#

If vanish isnt off cd

balmy condor
#

same thing on queen

balmy condor
indigo mulch
#

Yeah, but if he dropped it during intermisson when it goes immune he wont get it back unless he vanishes.

balmy condor
#

charges and targeted stuff

tawdry basalt
#

Darkest night?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

the final talent on the tree

indigo mulch
#

The last capstone in your hero tree.

tawdry basalt
#

Right well isnt that only if you consume the totality of the first mark?

#

So basically time vanishes better

balmy condor
#

no

#

time your reapplication better

tawdry basalt
#

So i dont lose it in an intermission

balmy condor
#

ambush from stealth

#

stealth breaks

#

then garrote

indigo mulch
# tawdry basalt Darkest night?

So what happend is that you prob thought you had mark up, but you actually lost it when the boss went away and went immune and you ahd to run around and grab meat. You want to try to get a DN proc from the adds so you have it ready when he appears again.

balmy condor
#

^

indigo mulch
#

Or just become a coin flipper fateboundtails

tawdry basalt
#

Okay I think im starting to understand.

#

Bahaha is Fatebound as good or equal to DS

balmy condor
#

yes

indigo mulch
#

Yes

tired gull
ancient tangle
# balmy condor because the specs are optimized to different levels, dungeonslice is a synthetic...

Yes sure but the variance in size of packs and time to live should make it general enough to let the assa spec for exemple burst with different size of packs for each iterations so it makes it general enough normaly to generalize between specs no ? The little pack, big pack (with overlaps that makes bigger packs) isn't general enough to at least compare in a very simple situation ?

of course for more relistics sims you would need multiples Routes instead

indigo mulch
#

It plays slightly different and you want to focus more on mastery then crit but other than that its pretty much the same.

tawdry basalt
#

So if DS mark drops because of intermission. try to vanish or stealth to apply it on something else like an add and try and proc it. So i can apply with an envenom on the boss when it comes back?

golden plaza
normal mist
#

You aren't applying garrote

tawdry basalt
#

So would that mean if i fully proc and have Darkest night ready I need to not envenom until i can apply it on the boss?

normal mist
#

The whole fight?

balmy condor
#

assa cooldowns come up basically perfectly after the boss because of the timing

indigo mulch
#

then you just grab some meat and run to the boss.

tawdry basalt
#

Also is there a WA to monitor DS mark im sure there is but just wanted to know if u had anything specific

Hey I had a question about this rotation. I was curious why Deathmark isn't immediately after Rupture to have the duplicated bleeds be longer? Unless the duplicated ones include the full damage of the Rupture/Garrote just shortened? Hopefully that makes sense

@indigo mulch Thank you. I appreciate the help. Ill try and figure it out

balmy condor
#

we could in theory spend all of our time optimizing a mists of tirna scithe route

balmy condor
#

and then assa would OMEGA CRANK POGGERS LETS GO

tawdry basalt
#

If i can get a tracker for both Darkest Night and DS mark then i should be fine

balmy condor
#

but it would hurt the integrity of every other sim in the process

because you're overfitting the model

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.

Spend spend spend

balmy condor

ok

indigo mulch
#

Honestly, after applying the "only cast envenom if envenom has 1s or less" rule i feel like my dps and energy management went up by so much D;

#

I didn't expect it to do that much

damage wise it's not much

gameplay wise

very impactful

indigo mulch

So with the DN change, if you’re playing impless garrote then is vanish still part of the dps rotation?

balmy condor
#

!vanish

prisma monolithBOT
#

Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:

  • Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
  • Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied

As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.

!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
balmy condor
#

one chat command after the other

indigo mulch
#

But it also depend on what your playing. Haste dosen't has "low" value for FB for example

#

but for DS its actually pretty good

past forum
#

The various temporary builds we can play, would they potentially sim higher based on your gear or is it just pick your poison kinda thing?

#

Like, one higher than the other i mean

balmy condor
#

but not in a meaningful way

#

like maybe you get something thats 0.15% higher than another build that bis says is within margin

#

very cool

#

but do whatever ya know

glass hemlock
#

No sims, only pumps

In my personal opinion, DS is just easier to gear towards cause all the stats are just good for them lol

#

I think i like having vanish in my back pocket to fix a tragic blunder, so i’ll probably just stay the course with no imp

shy pecan
# ancient tangle so i dont see why the burst side of assa is an issue with dungeon slice

It's because their profiles are different. You have three specs that have different profiles, even if they all have a BF effect now. Where they do damage all varies and thus why you can't compare them solely based on a number. Like if you need burst damage on an priority add, you're not gonna get that with outlaw. But if you need sustain, you won't get that with sub.

indigo mulch

that ain't how that works

You can basically just equip the highest ilvl of your gear and you'll be more than fine

can someone explain what it means by vanishing to apply a mark? doesnt the target already have one

indigo mulch
#

But if you compare it to like FB that actually have more gains from crit due to deal fate while DS has lower gain from crit due to Darkest Night.

#

The only annoying part about multispec is how outlaw and sub have a polar opposite relation with mastery.

multiple Dungeon Routes would be more accurate tho of course

shy pecan
# ancient tangle (what is BF ? ^^). Yes i understand that totally and it is how the specs are tru...

Blade Flurry. Sin's version is Caustlic Spatter and Sub's is Nimble Flurry. And it's not. Because there's a lot of different situations that happen in dungeons that you can't just assume that highest number = good. In a dungeon, if you kill all the small adds but keep the big one up for 2x as long as if you were able to focus/burst down the big guy while using the smaller adds as a resource, you're wasting time in the dungeon.

#

You can use it for a way to compare potential talents or gear within a spec. But not spec vs. spec.

#

It's like how we don't take 5 minute patchwork fights as bible for how a spec performs in raid. Because it's not always going to be 100% truth. There's downtime, there's important burst phases, there's adds that you might have to deal with.
