the envenom dmg is baffling i think this will help

glacial crypt
#

pooling can be difficult, you just need to be a bit more patient and you're chilling

#

don't worry if you're afk waiting to press your button

still wharf
#

should i expect to match sims? if i get 600k should i be happy with 550 500

plenty of times where you'll have gaps from just chilling waiting to press your button

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.

glacial crypt
#

being blessed with blindside procs will also make it a lot easier

how does staying under 50% lead to more envenom casts

If you pool longer you wait longer so you wait longer with mark and envenom

I've fallen in love with deathstalker in raid with fixed ER interaction

true, its so good now

#

it's so much fun now

bitter saddle
#

Assa is much fun in general

midnight atlas
#

wish we had more single target but its alright they are fixing shit

pure osprey
#

what is ER interaction

glacial crypt
#

consuming on a reprimand combo point used to not consume a mark

#

but now it does

midnight atlas
#

having darkest night and finishing on empowered combo point now grants deathstalker mark

pure osprey
#

oh

#

gotcha ty

glacial crypt
#

it's

#

much better now kekww

#

2nd non lethal for raid?

glacial crypt

use these

#

You literally only have crippling to choose from

glacial crypt
#

whatever you're talented into, use those

#

then click on all of the poisons until you have 4 wesmart

midnight atlas
#

you're fine without crippling, nobody kites adds in raid

Crippling is BiS for that

bis for keeping the mobs longer in sanguine i guess. kekdog

😭

#

On pulls with lust I don't run out of enough energy to need the thistle tea, do I still use one in the opener for the mastery buff?

midnight atlas
#

no more sanguine anyway

#

yeah, you do

#

dont overcap charges, you start drinking them in opener

lean nimbus
#

I've been playing assassination for a couple weeks now, and I have an (intermediate?) question about energy. On longer fights, I run out of gas. Should I be spamming Envenom as a spender if all my other abilities are chugging along? I feel like I'm making terrible use of Sanguine Blades.

bitter saddle
#

Always use tea with cds for mastery

#

the first tea you just want to get out so youre not capped on charges

#

future teas you use for energy so you can keep mashing

wide shuttle
#

Okay so doesn't matter when during opener just use one

limber lion
#

After you have everything setup

limber lion
#

But yeah that's about it

novel star
#

like during cds at some point

wide shuttle
#

Right, that makes sense

west crown
lean nimbus
novel star
#

yes

#

energy income is low so you have a limited total amount of envenoms you could cast regardless

#

waiting for pandemic on the buff just gives the cast more value

#

than it would otherwise have

lean nimbus
#

Yes. I've had lots of situations where I spam envenom when I can and run out of energy quick.

novel star
#

you only mash in cds

lean nimbus
#

So, follow-up question: Does that mean I'll have downtime in my rotation?

novel star
#

yep

#

sin is a low apm spec

lean nimbus
#

holy smokes

midnight atlas
#

yeah kekdog you get max apm during DM + KB windows and then you just cruise

lean nimbus
#

this is gonna change a lot

novel star
#

mhm

limber lion
#

!design

lean nimbus
#

thank you all.

prisma monolithBOT
#

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
novel star
#

thats like the biggest thing people struggle with when asking for help in here tbh

west crown
midnight atlas
#

gives you no excuses to die, you have all the time in the world to do mechanics and dodge shit

novel star
#

it just makes your burst stronger than it already is

#

cause youre gonna mash there regardless

west crown
#

So maybe mash to 2 stacks and then maintain?

lean nimbus
#

Hokay. So I'll just keep envenom up and then hold off on more casts until 1 sec left. That should save on energy bigtime. Thanks again for your help, gang.

novel star
#

no just youll play the same

#

but your burst will be buffed

limber lion
#

Well once you can overlap them, sending everything all the time is fine

novel star
#

because when you want to mash anyway youre less punished for mashing

limber lion
#

But the downtime is just longer after a while

novel star
#

it wont make you mash outside of cds

#

just buff mashing in them

limber lion
#

Instead of 0.5-2s downtime here and there, you'll have longer periods of downtime

novel star
#

and i guess buff needing to stay under 50% energy for sanguine DS

limber lion
#

But smashing or not doesn't make a difference

#

does our stat priority change for dungeons?

young dust
#

a little more mastery than crit i believe, but its not a huge difference

#

!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

if you need energy to keep mashing envenom you tea

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
  • While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.

!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.

!vanish

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.

It's used solely for Improved Garrote applications or to apply Deathstalker's Mark

normal mist
#

We don't do that anymore

woven torrent
#

but it made sense with the ambush thing.. but the garrot stuff hasnt been touched at all and thats still extra dmg in the burst window ? my head is steaming

limber lion
#

And with Double Jeopardy for FB, but that kinda goes hand in hand with IG

limber lion
#

We used Vanish previously with Kingsbane because we played Master Assassin

So KB would crit more

normal mist

#

and if i do? it stays the same as in the guide ?

limber lion
#

You just vanish* to reapply IG...

#

Vanish rather

normal mist
#

If you do, you can vanish around 6seconds before your first garrote finishes, and garrote to extend there

limber lion
#

It's not tied to KB duration whatsoever

boreal bobcat
#

Ive been lining up vanish > IG > Deathmark cause it duplicates the improve if I read that right?

normal mist
#

Yes

#

That's correct

limber lion
normal mist
#

At 2min mark we usually delay DM for vanish

limber lion
#

Deathmark dynamically copies the Gar/Rup that are on the target

boreal bobcat
#

Oh so it will recopy the IG if I go DM > Vanish IG

limber lion
#

On the opener you would not use Vanish

#

Yes

normal mist
#

And yeah as Cev is saying, doesn't matter if before or after DM. I'm used to apply before and THEN DM

limber lion
#

It just mirrors it entirely all the time

#

And its state

boreal bobcat
#

Thats kind of cool and unexpected of Blizzard spaghetti code

limber lion
#

Improved, not improved, enhanced, hasted, whatever

#

Well previously DM used to only copy whatever bleeds were on the target at the time of application

But it was changed as per requests

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

thx for the reply

In theory it doesn't matter

#

Wrists are a good slot because they are the weakest slot in the game stat wise, and a craft can't reach mythic ilvl

So wrists > belt/boots

But since I dropped wrists early

I just did the obvious

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.

# tired gull Mine worked fine all night sorry

I originally thought it was my own user error, maybe being pulled out of stealth or something and I maybe I didn’t notice that I didn’t apply the mark. But nope, it’s happened too many times after I’ve made sure it’s applied and sometimes it just won’t come back. I’ve feel like it happens more when swapping applications between mobs, maybe one is dying too far away from the other add and it’s not jumping but it’s also happened on ST fights too so idk
