When i took tempest on brood my caustic was much lower than when i didn't. I don't get how to play it for that fight
I tried it too and my parse was garbage lol
Was that in normal or heroic?
is there a Weakaura which hides my characters class to others?
Adds don't live long enough for value in normal
heroic for me mythic for exile
heroic
Does sanguine blades show up in details?
Balancing everything to line up for CT on adds spawn can be a little tricky
oh nice
Do we worry about chaining envonems at all
Ty
But CT value even in hc is big if you're struggling with the adds

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 think even in heroic adds kinda explode if groups are doing it right
I thought the same but still got big value out of it today
Let me check log incase in chatting shit
Under 50% uptime or under 50% energy
whisp you doin mythic ?
Tomorrow yea
did your guild already start or fresh
When do you think he starts to take double vanish carnage
It's a lot of damage
Never lmao
My guild is going into mythic tonight
Can u send link plss
@balmy condor how can i increase deathmark uptime
What lmao
My logs are private I'm afraid ):
I do have public logs on "Cuddlemeufkr-Sylvanas" if you're interested
Itβs a 2 min cooldown
why do people set logs on private anyway
Idk how you would increase uptime
Prevents poaching
press the button harder
To stop us caring about them for progress
Oh deathstalkers mark
kill timer faster than me but deathstalkers much more
i'll try it out on friday when we do our heroic clear
Yeh idk
XD
We're currently 3/8M with a low% pull on rasha'nan, no one is thinking about their logs at all
We just want the bosses dead
Sure, cuz i struggle with going from boss to adds with ct on Brood so o wanna see how it s done

shit is so easy for real
I'll check
I would imagine if you're that ahead that your log will just show you as rank 1 anyway for kill
most of the mythic + wowhead dungeon builds dont us AP , Is that the best mythic build right now?
i mean getting in a good guild isnt but like just grind that bitch out
Most of them do show as that yes
AP is stuck behind way too much nonsense
elaborate plz
SAME !! π‘
7 is not much
CMQA27SZpS4XnmFfcXRqkppuwzMjZmxMWmBAAAAAgZB2mBAAAAAg22mZGegZGjZmZZWGMGzMmZmZmZsttMmBYzsMwAWCWGmADLA
This is what I use currently for talents
mythic+ sorry
Anyone knows if there is a typo in Rupture's tooltip? According to the tooltip if it is applied with 5 combo point than its duration on the target should be 24 sec but as I can see it has 28 sec duration with 5 combo point.
7 is 10 -3 pugs leaving after 1 wipe and so so long to start a dung
ohh, i see! Thanks!
Systemic failure + blindside/ttb sucks so zold/arterial suck as a consequence because youβre required to path through them
yea gl bro
I just want to be in raid
We're only going from 18-22 tomorrow and I'm at freaking uni during the day so I can't just m+
I want to be pressing my buttonsn
everytime i talk about raids or logs i want to raid
i hate it so much
gotta wait till the weekend 
I couldnβt m+ today cause they ripped up my street trying to fix the internet and then I work today on my guilds added day
We lost almost an hour of raid time today
Misery
Because server lagged 
Man πππ
Tomorrow surely
raid lag was so bad yesterday 6 of us had wow crash during our normal queen kill
Why do things get in the way

!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
I believe π you can get juices up real quick
Juiced
Haha same, last uni year but what's a degree without the joy of pressing buttons for at least 3h a day ?
Oh my sweet summer child
We raided from noon till 10pm today 
those are rookie numbers
Its much more but i didnt want to be judged π
Iβm calling the overtime police
CAN YOU BLAAAAME A BUNCH OF EXCITED MFS
For JUMPING in
Tbf only first like 3 hours were mythic
Rest was more splits zzzz
After tomorrow I have to wait until SUNDAY
THAT'S TOO LONG
did you at least get queen ring?
Listen
That's a big ring for many classes..
π

anyone got the misdirect/tricks WA/macro that auto MDs tank? not sure if the one I was using in DF s3 was updated
got my first heroic orange log last night boys. is this progress? π
Go on blaster π
only if the ilvl % parse is also orange
yeah buddy, 97% ilvl
see ilvl parses bang
so bubbling wax is broken in BT timewalking incase yall do that 
i feel stupidly proud of myself hahahaha
My friends dob't understand the hype
We've spent literally so much time preparing to be in this raid
It's finally some new content to blast on
i'm glad the raid bangs
legit every boss feels great. aside from maybe sikran
From the first princess pull on ptr we knew this would be a banger
shes 100% my favorite fight
intermission is so fucking cool
The only thing I think is funny about that
In normal you have fyrakk blaze lines instead of the pizza
how does serrated bone spike work with sudden demise?
When people go from normal to heroic they'll shit themselves
some people just are unable to learn how to walk in the direction your line is going
Not the basicfit sub pay notification coming in now while we talk about being a bit too much on wow, knowing very well i won't go this month cuz i play too much
It does !!
Oh god I've not paid for my sub since COVID hit lmao
I love how many mechanics i'm able to cheese
Why are dead-eye spyglasses our bis if there are so many stronger options ?
OH THAT'S A GYM
LMAO
have you tried treachorous transmitter?
ππ
its fucked
ok what about the other trinkets then
if im looking to play all 3 specs i should craft what, wrist and belt with vers lining?
Any on use 2 minute one is good tbh
This is a safe place
Make 3 different gear sets
i only have 2 sparks π¦
More rogues required
don't worry, they made sure to give you the shittier version of the already incredibly dogshit dungeon
I used to have the green phial trinket thingy but it seems i'm terrible at the game and i kept forgetting to press it again and got stunned into bosses aoe
Which part?
That thing seems lethal
last boss
yeah i have it atm
need a weak aura to remind me
Yeah i used one that shows when there's 10s left
30 seconds is just long enough for me to forget otherwise
did you experience the tank not going near the loose tentacle and wiping the group due to the aoe damage slam it does?
that's pretty neat
The dispell dot is just WILD
yes and yes
Transmitter transmits your dps into shitsvile while you play minigames
The transition from the super obstructing trees blocking the bananas, to the βneed max wide angle 360* view to know where water isβ is one of the most egregious camera crimes in wow
Just get skardyn grace, and one other, dm which at this point out of the top
got my queen ring last night in normal too, keen to see how it goes with heroic prog tonight
we're working on silken court
but the deadeye spyglasses sound fun with the cp generation
i like seeing big numbers with deathstalker
ill run it one more time, im sure itll drop this time :)
you already got skardyn?
I'm passing out glhf in raids later and tomorrow ladies π
Whats the difference number wise between deathstalker and fatebound in low m+?
bubbling wax still only works on one wep right, so we can't use them as a cheap opetion
I hit a 8mil envenom crit the other day it was perfect
yes
I literally have 616 void contract, and a 593 honey buzzer
CANNOT REPLACE THAT BUZZER
sims higher than everything atm other than skardyn
what does
has to be from delve right
is it just me or is ER interacting better with DsM
obviously
Craz you just notice
have been away from home
Whats addons you use to see CD def of your mates on DJ ? and tracks kicks please
i dont remember name
omnicd
should b
Do you have an ui profil pretty decent for push MM+?
Are you in open world or dungeon?
what items do we craft for m+ ?
Elvui was my worst nightmare i've never understood it and it interacted so weird with other addons i removed it
Just a you thing, but i get it
so does Vanish literally do nothing now if we play the no imp gar build
correct
use it to apply mark
unless you take the point that makes it so ambush gives 1 more cp.... but i mean
if you need
Yeah... if you need it
oh boy vanish back to an actual defensive/tech ability?
It feels better having Vanish up in case we need to reapply DM
and somehow dont already have iut
I'm so fucking here for it
boss intermissions etc
does cloaking rashanan web reave troll the raid?
like do they still take a BUTTLOAD of damage cause technically someone is missing from the soak?
cloaking soaks still counts as someone soaking
But its kinda stupid to cloak a soak
but yeah there are probably better uses
ok cool, and yeah true, I was just curious
if everyone is in the soak it does very little
whole point in soak is to share the damage
I misclicked, and people got hurt, but I am just assuming its on others for not being in the soak
so by using a defensive when you dont need to its kap
nah I just feint everything
probably
I dont
95% of this raid is just feintable lmfao
Feint fan account
Had never used it before the raid cuz idk i can't read apparently and its just so op
its a good ability, with all the avoidance terts I have gotten, so I got like almost 50% aoe dr
what i love the most about m+ coming out is how annoying it is to find a grp and when you get into one the people cant play their fucking class
what the fuck is that shit
but no way dont invite the rogue into the grp
Pugs should replace tyrannical affix
I kinda like the pug experience. Every dungeon is a new surprise
Since when is Rogue a class u dob't invite ?
Does anyone have weakauras that yell at you to remember to use cooldowns lol
fuck the 200 more valors
Good Luck haha
I'm waiting for the seasonal affix where you have to /whisper Xal'atath back or she gets mad and wipes you
just the regular wa
just transfer to A52 and you won't have to play M+ because the server is always down
there are regular wa that do that?
what a horrible experience
is there a gear bis spreadsheet?
why dont you use the m+ discord for groups instead of random peeps then
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Please say it here when u get it, inkl savour a little bit of your win
by that i mean the Basic Rogue wa
fatebound actually simming higher in ST?
is that a bis gear thing or
bc i only want to do grim
wait dont yell at me whispyr ILL SIM MYSELF
oh I have that, but I need something that yells atm e
lmfao
god, I'm tempted to go farm that batol trinket just cause the spider serum is actually getting annoying now
that means you should learn your rotation
Like jingling car keys infront of my face
nah no clue sorry
zuljin down too
Put wa sound on cd
why tf do we have tyrinnical week 1 anyway
Tyraniccal

Sharing is caring

!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

wep ofc
cant we remove embellishment by recrafting ?

!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
Whatβs a good plater ?
!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.

does double dawnthread not stack? i have both and i still only am getting 756 crit
need to go below 80%
drop below 80% heal up
!dawnthread
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.
o/ whats the best M+ enchant? still authority of depths? if so whats the cheap version for broke peeps like me β€οΈ
Radiant is better in m+, depths is a single target enchant
The mastery weapon enchant isnt worth for both raid and mm+ ?
I used the mastery one till i got real daggers
But theres no real reason to enchant below champiom track imo
Anything not named authority radiant or authority of depths is bad

@balmy condor Hiya. Have you got any plans on writing up a guide on Delves? I'm getting my ass whooped π
Fr i just go in there and hope brann aggro the mobs while i slow them
!delve
Soloing Delves is really hard currently. Some solutions:
- Do them with a tank+healer in a 3 man. This seems to be lenient on scaling
- Go outlaw/subtlety with trickster, take the 1 hour tricks of the trade talent, cast tricks on brann (I personally put brann on my focus and use /cast [@focus] Tricks of the Trade)
- For objective/pickup object based delves, you can sap/aoe blind, pick up the item, then vanish. This is slow but will get the job done most of the time
- Put Netflix on your second monitor or something while you wait for your 2min cooldowns to come back up so you can pull another 3 pack of mobs, 2 of which are sapped/blinded, youβre in for a long delve
Oh no π¦
Can do the same on assa
Just tricks him do a pull
Wait
Tricks him
Do a pull
Unless youβre overgearing them or have like a level 30+ brann theyβre brutal
Donβt flame me cause not pink but I had a decent normal night I feel
do i want to macro DM and KB together?
I wouldn't, got a shiv in the middle of those 2 abilities unless you arent running lightweight shiv
DM shiv then KB?
i got 616 legs and hands tier from vault i still dont kno what spec is my main ill be playing both. should i take hands to be safe since outlaw crafts there legs
yes, unless you are not running lightweight, then shiv is slightly delayed
THAT IS TOUGH
literally weapon geared a outlaw and sin rogue in that one kill
Not pink lmao shitter
any suggestions ?
wtf that's toxic
What are you doing here you donβt even play the game
i bet im not gna upgrade a single parse on normal night this week
im doing ur mom
so fucking BAD im such a PIG
im your new step dad
i just had the most upsetting +4 man why are gamers the way that they are 
a +4 and ur being annoying
for what
I'm trying to find the current best single target dps spec, and mythic + spec but i can't seem to find the updated spec

need my guildies to log back on so bad
I love you too oxi
Thank god, sheβs a nice lady

@balmy condor are there any special green text items that we want as sin?
the cloak, ring and necklace from palace I believe
!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

rolls 1
Im practicing on the dummy in dorn and this was 5 minutes of practicing my rotation, is this bad for a five minute?
Do we have a special cleave build for court or just have caustic?
u can sim urself unbuffed/whatever consumeables u use and select training dummy and it can give idea?
u drop ct for frostwyrms fury actually
wtf is this
threat was a thing in Outland
casual 40k dps loss ayy
wdym
just gonna drop vv how bad can it be
it saves you on crests
i dont have time to sim so fuck it we do it live
to upgrade another trinket
big brain
ok first pull the tank was third highest dps
maybe this group isnt going to kill
I see that wrists and waist is for our embellishments. Are we alright to use a spark on those too since the only other guide is to use spark on a piece that you wonβt upgrade for a while?
show us some ilvl parses champ

!spec
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.

Don't I have to go into the individual logs for that?
question, if i wanted to craft gear to satisfy playing all three specs which would be best to craft?
or satisfy like two, like outlaw and assassination or outlaw and sub

i got meleed to death by spiders and the group immediately fell apart
testing inconclusive
atm is the best to craft 636 dagger right?
regardless of which spec u run dagger is generally best?
Assa
i thought that is if you dont get any dagger drops?
Do you guys think we could replace subt in raid for assa?
Confused about stat prio, is it master or crit after agility
should i keep those 2 daggers or craft 636 right away? Not rlly sure and dont wanna waste a spark
!stats our stats are all basically equal
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.

we got madness of the betrayer from timewalking boys
4p, 611.4ilvl. Aight, so far so good this season!
hello everyone, just about to craft a 619 item. Is Dawnthread Lining really good? my dagger is only 603 so I am considering crafting the 619 Dagger with the Darkmoon SIgil:Ascension. Any advice?
all embelishments are mid at best, its just a matter of picking your preference

Ah ok I see thanks very much for the info I appreciate it

if i want to play assassination and sub or asssa and outlaw is it better to craft 2x dawnthread>=?
Iβm so tempted to just craft Dawnthread instead but my second spark is a dagger anyway
Yeah just go Dawnthread
I think my third spark is belt and I swap Dawnthread
Maybe
Copium
is it better to try and mix stats so like verse mastery on wrist and haste crit on belt? or just focus on high stats for one spec on each craft
its just normal but I got my first orange parse finally
Are there any known good assassination m+ and/or raid players? I wanna watch some vods to hopefully glean some insight on where i can improve
cough @balmy condor
Assa doesnβt really care much
None, we are all terrible
i review logs but sometimes I want the video itself, not the timeline
Chill chill I ainβt that giga 
Then why do I watch your videos and read your guides 
mainly trying to improve m+. I was checking logs and my caustic splatter is definitely lower than most others
I am number monkey
i just have the lucky of two regicides, i got both... i can use two regicides or i need to follow the guides? wowhead say regicide + blood kukri
Do not have the time to also run 12 hours of keys a day like the r1 pushers
sim it
Daggers are whatever just equip whatever is highest
bot weeks ive lost heroic regicide im on suicide watch. I hate trialing for guilds. basically burns your loot lockout.
i wish i heroic raided then raided with trial but they raid so soon after reset theres no time
!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
Wowhead bis picks one of each cause I donβt want people target farming double of the same dagger for no reason
!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
make sense omg
I have to do some very targeted gaslighting in order for people that stare at the bis list to not fuck themselves over
Honestly Ascension seems really good. You only have to be in combat for 8 seconds and you get 2000 of a secondary stat, and it stacks every 8 seconds after that
I like how whisp makes the bis list cause it encourages people subtly into diversifying their gear sources, I'm so sick of hearing people 'These are not my BiS boots!' like, dude, just... don't
please re do that and see if i missed something
gfg you can't use jeweler's settings on rings from the timewalking raid quest turn in
Yeh it just resets out of combat so it plummets in m+
im so close to ripping a 619 dagger. but that seems like such a waste of runed crests
only at 5 gilded tho π¦
atm farming gilded crests only myth raid and +9 right?
im m+ player so will be playing double lining
last 2 bosses heroic, 9+, mythic
ascension is better for m+
Not enough rogue players to test
like
sadge
aoe blind doesnβt work and it breaks stealth
Yeah it stays for 15 seconds but I guess it will drop off a lot in M+
every single guide says that double stats is better for m+ that i read
iβm gonna lose it
this is a tough decision cuz its so expensive lol
im wrong then
i could be wrong too dont get me wrong but im fairly sure Whispyr was jsut saying it drops out of combat so in m+ you lose the value out of it quite often
its not really that much of a hard decision, embelish are not a very big impact on the grand scheme of things
if someone doesn't mind redoing this and see better rnehcnats β€οΈ
80% uptime in my most recent +8
i guess if anything, radiance would probably be better on some bosses in high m+, but worse in trash
Youre talking about Ascension?
dawnthread
Siege of Boralus sucks.
any tips on ovinax with caustic? not doing something right... top logs show low casts on mut. are we holding for adds with max energy?
Are the wowhead talent builds still current?
yes to what im aware of
fan of knives, hope ads come into melee or your team brings them in melee
you'll just mutilate boss or target ad for caustic
ovinax for us is basically entirely dependent on your raid giving you favorable conditions, and letting you cleave off the boss on the adds
the crafting gear is definitely expensive. Gold and crest wise
can can shred that fight more than many others if conditions are met
Yeah i think ill just go dawnthread for the flexability
and its way cheaper lol
hey i got 2 questions,
- why are the top 10 assa rogue's on raider.io going for 15-25% vers when it says it's the less needed stat? (most ppl have 4-6 vers gems) or is it just a m+ thing?
- incase i have all gem slots + 1 on head, so 7. What Gems should i prefer? i have Culminating Blasphemite on my neck, and it says, i get 0.15% crit effect per unique Gem colour, so shouldnt it be BiS to have 1 blue gem, 1 red gem, 1 green gem, and fill the rest with Stats i need? ( i dont count stamina gem )
there is a sylvanas rper from moonguard in my heroic kyveza group
this is going to be interesting
!shiv
should i be building up to 2 charges of shiv when my deathmark is on its awey back up?
!restealth
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.
Does embellishment recommendation change if playing fatebound for any reason?
Only use shiv for kb
what do ppl usually take when they opt out of crimson tempest in caustic build?
Yes
are fatebound and deathstalker stillr eally close numbers wise?

Question about the queens mandate: Since it has a small channel time should we pop it before we deathmark as opposed to right after
it's ok to craft a ring if we get lucky with other slots and have low ilvl rings right?
why dont tanks study pathing anymore?
its liek they have to hit 100% before the first boss
its day 2 bro
what stats to put on crafted dagger?
Whatever stats Sims tell you to
Its always ok to craft low ilvl unlucky slots. Provided you have an actual use for the item
smashing thanks for the reassurance!
so is the kingsbane rotation just getting 7 point envenoms as fast as possible?
Crit haste for fatebound
Yeah what are people doing after the opener and you use all 3 of your thistle teas? You just run out of energy so fast.

Why do alot of rogues take tricks of the trade at higher keys?
!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
Iβm gonna guess so they can help gather for the tank with garrote silence
Ah makes sense
normally just depends on the comp you're running, the pulls you're doing, and the stops needed for a dungeon.
If you're cycling AoE stops, the DR from AoE blind generally doesn't get much value. Casts going off at high keys are going to kill everyone anyways, so the only real value of blackjack is reducing melee damage on tanks. If that isn't needed, the help in gathering with tricks tends to just be a better option
the ret paladin in this group is insisting details is wrong
and that they're actually pumping

this group is doing princess mechanics really well
but they just dont do any damage
keep hitting enrage
unlucky
i respect it
well
that fight looks fun
this is the bottom of the group
ig week 2 pug
ohno
no dmg
the guy above the tanks is not an aug or pres

how many kyveza pugs are you gonna find
im not exactly pumping either

im only doing 700k
do more dmg
enrage is like 7 mins~ if i recall

and yeah thats the issue
hard enough finding a kyveza pug
harder still to find one that can do mechanics
ah
anyone logging 
i bet the timeline spells hekili
as bad as hekilli is
I think if you actually did waht it said
you'd beat a blood dk
i start logging

we find out
oh shit
and we can roast bel while we're at it 

maybe i learn something
i cant talk shit if i cant take it
although i hate praying every kb that i dont get picked to run out
if i could play sub i think i could
UDDE
HE FUCKING GOT ME
i cant tell what direction the boss is facing with all the shit
got parried twice so far on kb
im saying
Real
boss needs be like double the size
brother that pull was like 10 seconds long
oh
lmao
first one was the closest to kill
so prob most relevant
i dont think our pally friend was there for that one though
i mean he's barely out-damaging the tanks
hes going through it
Dude
It's so crazy how bad sin is
But these fights are soooo good for sin
Sin kingdom baby 
i wish our energy regen was a lil better
either that or im pushing buttons too frequently- but I feel like im out of energy the first minute and a half of a pull
it def feels bad a lot of the time
you watch a warrior continually press buttons without ever stopping and then youre waiting for energy so you can press 1 single button lol
I mean that's just how the spec works right
yeah it's kinda nuts, but at the same time, if we play it right, the warr is still below us most of the time
(nah)
ive yet to come across a warr out damage me in a single target pull
(that i can remember)
they just got a big nerf this week though
it was only 3%, but theyre still cooking
To me it just feels bad we can't burst as high as other classes on openers or elsewhere anymore, we still do ok to good damage, but for a burst spec we ain't as bursty XD
yea ele sham and frost dk opener is actually insane
Heya have a small question
On aoe assa , do you Tornado + spam
Or, do you envenom
ct doesnt do any instant damage, its all dot
so you just use it once to apply it
then use envenom cleave with caustic spatter
Okok
and on wich target
how many target needed
to use
Tempest
to funnel with envenom
3
did they get it into the sims
Iβve no idea
when i last checked it wasn't triggering the passive
all I know is it routinely does 0.3-0.5% of my overall
Am I doing something wrong? Everytime I sim embellishments it says that double Elemental Focusing Lens on ring and neck is the best. Is that true?
i think its mentioned on wowhead guide that lens sims well at low ilvl but doesnt scale as well as the other options
can you start a dungeon with snd up?
I'm simming it at 619 ilvl and my overall is like 610
Yes

i hate paladins
I'm having a problem with using blind. I press it and nothing happens. It doesn't tell me anything, no error message, it just doesn't go on CD and doesn't cast
i went to make food my b
standby 
!up
kyveza pure single ye?
ye
well
mr paladin used 6/10 possible wake of ashes
and has no enchants
or flasks
or pots
or food
and is 600 ilvl

i thought that was best for m+ and depths best for raid?
The !craft message is now different from the !fuu spreadsheet, any guidance there?
dawnthread vs lens
huge
Hey can some1 link me a log with this talents pls ? ( ST )
Im slowly gettin there
second for aoe ?
Great job man, glad you are getting more comfortable with assassin
Is there info or a discussion anywhere on why airborne irritant doesn't work on the affix this week?
ive got to be doing something significantly wrong
i need to get someone to look at these later
uh
probably just one of the lower ones
first one and last one probably best actually
i caught myself a couple times doing things out of order but i feel like that isnt enough to explain my damage being ass
so any help would be appreciated
yeah uh
