I got a normal regicide is it worth upgrading it
I made it 606 to replace my pvp dagger but don't know if it's worth taking it higher
I’d say so ye
!up
I had leveled rogue and monk so tryna decide between outlaw/assa/ww, yeah ill try em but ill likely tend to whats most meta out of those
If u wanna meta go play aug
Assa seems to be doing really good on rash particularly
Nah just out of those 3 specs lol
did you just assume my gender
I've had fun on every boss and topped dps in most fights with assa tho outlaw I think is better
You don’t have three regicides?
literally don't get weapon by week 2 games broken
Well you can’t complain about not getting a wep when you can craft a 619
if you have 2 charges of shiv, do one the gcd before you kb, then do it again when the buff falls off so it covers the entirety of kb. if you have just 1 charge, do it so the buff covers the last part of kb
Who says I can’t
I’m not even going to react on that comment
Technically even a 636
is what im using atm
People with brain cells 
We've all been there I didn't get regicide week 1 and felt scammed
Outlaw is good aswell? I thought people were dooming on it (for m+)
Yeah that looks fine
Or seeing a wep enchant
Makes me cringe
Running normal and heroic with me being the only dagger user I got 1 drop week 1
outlaw is the best overall dps spec in raid currently
guild hasn't seen regi on normal 😦
The target cap is cringe
and theyre all pretty good in m+ i think but yeah target caps
Outside that outlaw gud
same shit as always
!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
How this comment made me feel

Honestly court can just be zugged on p3. So just living p1 is the deal
Me and my friend just learned webs and we have one shot normal court since
If it's doable by you just learn it and carry
Court is harder than queen on normal tho which feels strange
Why am I runniong so low on energy during raid?
Do you have over 246% haste?
Am I not supposed to use Mut ons ingle?
how else would u generate CP
Make sure your dots are up on as many things to generate energy faster
Otherwise you'll starve
right so wtf lol do I just always run low on energy in single target?
If you’re not VV 1 target with ctw proc
yeah that's just how the spec works
After that probably 3
its just how the spec is
!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

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.
sometimes even fok'ing on 3 feels horrible for cp gen
not the bot spam 
Two of the commands are the exact same
what if we're illiterate
If he reads it twice
Will know it better
question askers trust robots more than people
@spice spire i only had 1 pink on normal last night 😦
No they don’t
How about you read dn twice bud
even if the robots were written by the same people answering the question
cute dog btw
george is best boi
Ty
my king




Look at me (I’m the rogue)
big pumper
i wish i had speed kills like that

my favorite thing from last night though tbh
Definitely was intentional
On one target no
If more then 2 ye
why ppl running deathmark and not fatebound if fb sims higher?
aight, any quick differences from last season besides darkest night > all in prio
only sims higher at certain gear levels
You chain enevenoms or play for uptime only?
ah
uptime
chain to not energycap + get a lot inside shiv
Is that more damage overall?

That’s not real
cap
realistically, spatter should do >2% of your damage to make it worth right?
spatter will 100% do more than 2% of your damage if there's more than one target

this is 2 target

my luxthos WA is not showing envenom uptime, whats the easiest way to put it there? or should i juust switch WA?
this is ovinax
it should one sec
also why can't i get on the beta servers

Oh

it does show it
the green bar at the bottom
There’s also a dynamic icon that is disabled by default you can turn on if you want
how do u enable that thing
i have the module open

oh nvm
just under load
@magic shore
Yeh, his WA comes with lots of stuff pre-hidden
I got Madness off timewalking BT and I'm not sure I want to suffer in 7+ Siege keys for a non myth track spyglass this week 
It only pops up when u have buff
@magic shore
yo is this real? socket is only 2k dps? lol
Yeah i just added an Envenom icon to the core bar and kept the dynamic icon hidden
Been generally finding it’s over 3k but yeh, not massive
Is it possible to easily just yoink the mob colors of someones plater profile? from like quazii or anyone elses without messing my current options too much
yeah its not showing for me, only mark and caustic
ah ty
ok this i might have and havent noticed
how do i get to this screen ._.
type /wa
then go to the luxthos pack and click on the little arrow to expand the subcategories
then expand the one labeled dynamic
That’s an outdated command
and u should be able to find the envenom thing if you scroll down
are crest droping in NW now?
nice scaling
i unmark the never, right? no need to mark any other?
thanks for the help anyways
Guys, it's a sin kingdom this tier
correct
Guy
Yo
I’m going to kiss you on the mouth.
It is absolutely not a sin kingdom 
it worked, thanks, also the green bar under is also working did not know what it was
you know guy does this every tier right
Sin is the worst spec, but the fights this tier are the best for sin
with this WA, can i get like a pandemic warning or smth like that?
Some are
ill try the same method
Like rashanan and I can see ovi for sin and law
what wa
luxthos rogue
But idk not sold watching it on mythic
he probably has something in there for pandemic. I never really used luxthos
Outside of those two: and those two I’m very sold
Rash is sin, brood twister sin, nexus is law, silken is sub? And queen is sin
Sin 👑
ill just try and figure it out, if not i can just remember 2s left on envenom now that it shows
Mage tower?
if i find it ill post an update soon
idk i hate this game
2 heroic clears and m+ non stop and these are my weapons and trinkets
The add in p2 queen being in Execute is a big deal!
idk if ovi is sin yet
they been swappin between specs
Why are you girlbossing us so hard rn
Cuz I'm right
Ye ovi could be either. Most ppl are gonna default sin cuz it's right after rashanan which is mega sin
it's early gaslighting and propaganda to try to get ass nerfed so sub supremacy once again

i just wish
in the same line of thought, can luxthos WA show me shroud uptime? that would be usefull
they delete
ill try, 1s
guy is an op
i found the place just not sure if theres anything to do with it
if it's enabled it probably already does
if you move the window to the side
it'll normally display the thing that you're selecting
Guy is a well known sub lover 
ye the square is there but when i use it ive never seen it, let me test it
ye its showing mb
Mf trying to assassinate the queen
i could not find pandemic tho, anyone knows if its there somewhere?
it should be there by default
Download a separate wa for that
With a countdown
All I know is that sub is actually turbo shit
Oh wait, ur talking about shruouded suffocation
@magic shore

no he was talkin about concealment. but he found it
Ah alright
why is sub best on a 2 target fight? 
essplain
Buff it and make it the main spec for the 6th tier in a row 
I count that shit down for the group so they know when to gtfo of range
ah ok, i thought that was just "reapply", which is basically the same right
yeah
same same
but the envenom is not there, its in dynamic ones, maybe i can add it to it by hand?
cuz im still learning so all these will help in like ky'veza heroic
Silken on mythic is st
o
Afaik the damage amp lines up with 1:30
do you know any?
So sub good

The math maths
there's some that will countdown in /s chat so your party can also see it. i'll go find some
also on Luxthos this is for improved garrote if you ever talent that. So you don't want to pandemic it
Well u probs don't dm in opener
normally you don't worry about pandemic on Envenom because it's such a short buff
or debuff
or w/e
just refresh when the bar/number gets low
Depends on timer overall at that point
U just do shiv kb opener then dm lust on first damage amp
yeah i figured that also, and on that: i should reapply it only when it expires then?
yeah unless you're refreshing it with another improved garrote
its for ST fights like ky veza so i can keep energy topped
Like if you’re 7xx then you may wanna hold.
Also lust timing too, you right
may i know why does wowhead have city of threads and dawnbreaker weapon as the M+ bis
necrotic wake has weapon that is crit mast
yeah you just want to keep the envenom buff up. you don't need to perfectly pandemic it. Just try to not let the buff drop
but yeah, i think just watching envenom now that it shows and doing it at 2s works
ye
You don’t mark both just one and then you can dn to swap targets if you need
1-2s is gud
Two things here
!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
DN?
And iirc if you’re talking about the n+ only gear it’s just the best compiled from that available
Darkest night
Ah okay
https://wago.io/rJLq0ErO7 something like this is good for shroud
thanks a lot for the helps man, game changing

Gotcha so I shouldn’t try to maintain buff on both
So even if it’s crit mast, if you have a ton of crit mast from other gear, then you’ll want other shit
I was going insane last night trying to
Something I never did until now is sim constantly to see what upgrades are available through drop

Because sometimes crit haste is better dps gain then crit mast
I don't believe you


What's the "pandemic" window for envenom buff ? I need to configure my WA.
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

thanks

any1 familiar with jundies plater, why the fuck is castbar so hard to see

am i the only one whos actions get cancelled when someone joins/leaves a dungeon?
Cause that's the way they look? idk
i swear i apply my poisons at the start of every key and if someone comes in during the cast it gets cancelled
If I have a Ara-Kara Sacbrood at 606 is it still worth using?
most likely
but sim your self
I have no idea if icyveins etc have updated their gear lists
yeah but how is something so popular so hard to see, unless i need an eye exam
still bis, but just sim
sackboob very gud
cause it looks pretty
I didn't know how updated the sims would be so just wanted to check I wasn't being an idiot ty all
how much % is tier on aoe ?
best answer is to just sim your own character. Then it will always be up to date 
I meant the actual sim being up to date with the latest changes
oh from the trinket tuning
yeah that didn't really change anything
raidbots probably up to date at this point
Definitely is now I don't remember seeing this last night when I checked for raid

for Bloodbound Horror -- how is Death Stalker handled? When adds spawn -- do we vanish to put Mark on them?
Pretty sure we mostly cleave. Those adds die relatively quick anyways, even in heroic
meaning just sit on the boss and let caustic splatter hit the adds?
Any cool news, tell me about it. Any break throughs any whatchamacall it, shenanigans if you will. Just lemme know aight
Do you ever play around sanguine blades?

Could it be, that pressing cloak while on the 3rd boss in Grim Batol removes the chasing elemental (as in it targets somebody else)?
It did not for me, I cloaked for the dot and still was chased
But you can vanish and it auto swaps
I killed group with that one too
No, pick a prio add and cleave the others with caustic.
aahh -- and just keep Mark on the boss and get back to the boss before it runs out?
in DS ST raid rights are we not running improved garrote?
You can if you want
but you don't have to
Pins have some sim comparison links
ill take a look thx
You can see that there are like 8 top build combinations that are all within margin of error
So it's kinda just

Pick the one you want to play from that list
if you hate managing imp garrote, don't take it

sry if this has been asked already but is it normal for our 4pc to have a 20% uptime on single target? the 2pc stacks keeps falling off lol
Which set pieces do we take? Head, Chest, Legs, Hands?
It’s the debuff from getting 4pc before me
do we know when the echoing reprimand changes are coming?
(like when it's getting turned into a new ability)
Reminds me back in shadowlands the final boss of plaguefall
For chain pulling in mythic+ when you can't restealth between packs, can anyone give advice on how to AOE in that situation?
rupture
Do you try to rupture and garrote 2 mobs, 3?
And how many CP rupture do you typically try to get on each mob
Garrotte as many as I can rupture if it will live like over 50%of it go for it
If you make good use of Indiscriminate Carnage it isn't as painful to drop 5cp ruptures on a whole pull
Then proceed to fok, CT, and envenom my caustic target right?
thats the idea
since the nerf on the ara kara trinket is it better to use Void reaper contract instead?
no
i ran a bunch of sims on this yesterday
for some reason it sims higher on my char than ara kara
For me skardyn's and spyglass are way ahead now
ara-kara + skardyns IN THEORY is still strongest combo, btu as always, sim yourself
it was less a direct nerf to EGG and more to bring all the trinkets more in line with each other
im using skardryn and ara kara but the void reaper contract sims 8k more
How are you getting IC when you can’t restealth on a chain pull? Since this was the question I’m kinda confused.
Unless it's like 3 chains you can vanish to spread the dots
here
Wait no way we desync vanish and DM even in m+, no?
does assa stll prefer chaining envenoms despite of energy or do we prefer to stay over 50% energy now?
i wanna GAMBLE, im going BACK to FATEBOUND, hi guys
!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.
oh cool so Deathstalker plays like our previous 4p then? sweet thanks
How much do I miss for not taking vicious venoms?
Just realized the raid one I have didn’t take vicious venoms
Single Target Comparison
Raid stuff is weird cause of the bug, you can play the regular build, or 1/2 vicious with improved garrote, or 2/2 vicious with improved garrote and no improved poison, or improved garrote+sanguine blades with no vicious. It's a wild time and everything is basically equal and close and just play something idk man it's so many combinations and dependant on gear and just a mess.

!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
the binding ring is just better than the other one right?
had to solo far add, otherwhise this could've been b-i-g
am i inting
idk
just bully the priests into giving you constant pi
i dont look at stats
What does robot say
problem solved
follow whatever the sim told you to do
bro does NOT like haste
what is haste?
💀
wtf
Goat
do we slam echoind on CD?
ye
bro popped a ritalin
is the goal 100% uptime on sanguine blades during raid? Or is that impossible?
Impossible
!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.
KK, thank fod. TY!
!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, you’re in for a long delve
How good is fatebringer in Raid
It’s fine
passive
If you wanna play it just play it
so many conflips on outlaw
yippie
90% of gamblers quit before they hit the 20 flip streak
remember, gamble can win you 1000%
but you can never lose past the 100% mark
LOSE
LOSE
i am beginning to dislike delves more and more every day
they just end up being a waste of time. i never get any maps, and all the gear i get is typically random and/or uesless
Don’t think there is any reason to do delves since m+ came out
I don't have time to do a key
and I'm cooking currently but have 10 minutes then 15 minutes
I got shit to do buddy
Alts i also rather do m+ but vault is a good point
delves it is then
You got time to key pal
one of my friends got a map like tuesday of last week, and he fucking got hero track pants with leech
I have been chasing that chance since i saw him do it but i literally have not seen a single map
“Shit to do” mf crafting
Yeah delves are OP (until you’re full hero track or higher)
NGL this tension is real
when I do a key
"I'm not at the ah right now....."
Lady is too far into the grindset
maps aren't real
yeah at this point i am inclined to agree
I got one map and got the lantern trinket which procs on ranged attacks and spells, was simming abysmal
Not fully keened in on my whole kit. What am I missing here that this keeps showing up in combat?
at least you can kind of use it to piggyback your future trinket upgrades.....
Rope shooters mark
You didn’t apply deathstalkers mark if you mean the glow

Oh, interesting. It's there like through a whole fight though
means you didn't ambush
Yeah you only set it up by ambushing from stealth
Ohhhhh! Okay, I see now. Yeah I was opening with Garrote and putting everything else up. Thank you thank you
!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
i still cant make a final decision on what to play, ive tried both outlaw and sin in the last 2 weeks. considering just crafting armor first for my sparks i guess. im only going to be doing m+ and honestly both specs feel good for it
sin feels slightly better to me i guess, main reason i opened my vault as it
how huge is the queen ring for us?
got the normal queen ring on 2 toons with a socket today , glad i got something useful at least
eyo can i have one?
Hi guys, quick question here. Why are we using shiv and thistle tea before kingsbane? Didnt we use it on the last 6 sec for max dmg?
2 charges
If you only have 1 charge use at the end
Thistle tea is for the mastery buff
haste and mastery are bis for sin?
I am always get pulled out of stealth when the boss get pulled idk whats up with that
!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 1 charge shiv at the end but thistle tea before for matery?
Tea during shiv windows when you need 100 energy
ignore adds = profit
Even the sub OTP is off sub ain’t no way
Which trinket
transmitter
(I’m in the dark about sub)
need that 1min30 juice trinket
sub is 1min30 so
Especially if it’s just
perfect
i don't even see the shit it does half the time so idk
maybe i need a weakaura
it spawns right next to you
i have the transmitter on the lock but im not even gonna equip it
Coward
He’s playing assas?
yeah im blind
yes
Did you use CT
Do not ever question stealthi’s integrity
I mean he’s a pretty sick raccoon
He’s an extremely ethical gamer
So no
Because they can be degen
During speed runs later
(I assume you’re still in colour)
(They did want him)
What stats should I put on my Rune-Branded Armbands? I've seen Vers/Mastery, Haste/Mastery and Crit/Mastery, or does it really not matter.
vers haste 
vers mastery on both my dagger and waist
I saw most of the top assassination rogues running vers/mastery over crit/mastery. Was just trying to figure out why
vers/mast makes it easier to multi spec into sub
Ahh that would make sense, with the haste/mastery as well
stealthi didnt want to do the unholy tech
maybe he would get flagged for being too sexy
Do you tab target in big AOE pulls to apply bleeds to more than what Indiscriminate Carnage does?
is sub not worth playing without transmitter
I honestly felt that was the case

assassination stats are also so close to each other that it barely matters, and the jewellery you have could easily flip it
how is assa rogue bottom of raid dps chart? should I switch to sub or outlaw?
and is it bad in m+ too?
play what you want. unless you're making a bid for hall of fame it doesn't really matter. you'll be best on what you like most
I kinda need to play the top dps spec for our mythic raids
Assa is good
which piece is off set?
hmm how its bottom of the charts then
yea was thinking switching to it
banned
I think the tuning is bad on it - I think the fights do make it more sin favored
I was originally outlaw but switched to assa before raids opened since it was supposed to be top performing spec
i like assassination, but why do i feel like its so much downtime in singletarget. Like im waiting for my energy all the time
Bet you feel really stupid now
same
But I also don’t play at your level so you have a better understanding of tuning than I stealthi
!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
yea I do
I dont think anyone was speculating assa being the best raid spec
before it released

yeah most it was outlaw simmed highest but sub looked to be best
look at the numbers, grom!
honestly the best spec is the one you find most fun and most comfortable
Last 2 are sub bosses it looks like
you will do the most dmg on that spec
i told myself that i will fully commit to the swap to outlaw once i get the fist weapon and trinket
Nope I need that 0.001% edge bud sorry
Fury warrior now
b/c it's going to be expensive to convert my current crafted items to what outlaw wants
I will be most confortable with spec which is best at that moment
uhm, sim number is lower, so its unplayable and you are clearly lying in 1 of your malicious raccon tricks
5% haste too low? lol
just swap then

it barely matters
is sub good at 2t cleave now
then why are you asking in assassination 
Ansurek def looks sin
outlaw is very likely the worst of the three LOL
Mythic is st
ahh
thought here is other ppl who is switching spec too now
Burn phase every 1.5
Don't do my shootie boys like that :(
Like that’s sub baby

ermm dust gets deleted
all the power goes into Flag
waiting to see what other changes it gets tbh
the only answer you're going to get here is "sin is fine play what you want", brother. if you're glued to the aggregate logs then just commit to the top dog on that ig
if stealthi says something about sub, you REALLY can belive him without questioning it, that guy breaths sub knowledge
badge wont be meta again bc pvp gear is worse ilvl now right

guess you don't raid mythic ehh?
but ty anyway guys
lmfao
It doesn't matter for the vast majority of guilds
damn big mythic raider
most people here do that said you that
Guess you guys have never even set foot in a raid huh?
Bunch of loser assassination players
its funny bc if you want to chase the 1% that much why not play warrior rn
nah ryo
You literally have multiple mythic raiders saying whatever is fine
reroll to arcane mage
What dagger are ppl making? sipphoning or everforged?
Absolutely
help your mythic team
my favorite part is

So how did sin go to bottom of the 3 specs over night 😢
the people crying most about fury nerfs
are pug m+ players
actually the worst kind of people
i dont do mythic no
My logs are just that bad
I'm dragging the whole spec down
not even best on ur realm
Man’s a story mode raider only
looking at heroic charts to decide your mythic spec
dang it bobby
scrub cant give that guy advice now
I'm topping dmg where ever I go but everyone tells me go law
no troll
still does very good damage
i just dont want to
play 2min trinket
on it
you run dtb and assa instead
Swap sin

(ppssssst xiani check your dms)
I'm looking at mytic logs and sin is 2nd to bottom
IF YOU PLAY ASSASSINATION IN RAID YOU WILL LITERALLY DIE IN REAL LIFE DON'T DO IT
rwf teams are playing sin on rash and ovinax
and maybe court when they get to it? who knows
he does when he has to
or was that exile

i doubt any of those wf guys cant play a spec on their class
meh
Poggieswoggies
realm #2, actually washed up smh my head
theres a few burst specs rn that basically run no on use bc spymasters is mostly passive until execute
sin just cranks on that boss i think
slack is too good
Rash timers are kinda dog
might depend on your raid comp too
because not every raid has like
3 fury warriors
and/or a dragon
yeh
so I assume mastery/crit on crafted gear if I'm bouncing between sin and sub?
but idk echo running like 4 frosts or some bullshit and kush still on ct last i checked
yeah I know but I'm just talking about stats if I were playing both
it’s at like 30% and they’re nerfing before reset ?
Dont frost dks just gape adds?
ye
Pretty sure they have multiple talents that just passively poop aoe
i mean sin doesnt care about its stats
ye sin is fine with whatever lol
havoc likely can put up similar i think
so mastery/vers is fine if im playing both specs?
if add spawns line up with eyebeam windows for demonsurges
we don’t have bad statz

well they got bugfixed
now eyebeam doesnt do reduced damage to secondary targets
slight gamba i guess how many bladedance resets you get
from tier
!tier
I hate playing around dsm and I hate when foundbound doesn’t proc the capstone. Someone save me
Suffer
DS is chill on most bosses in raid
Or reroll
hey does someone here know if mad queens mandate is a melee only cast?
or can it be used from range
Just press ambush first and then do your normal rotation 🙂
!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
well you do kinda have to pay attention for when your capstone is rdy
for that FAT envenom
Pressing mutilate on 6 is killing me inside
Well yeah but just get WA and when it glows you just full cp blast
Okay maybe I’ll do that and it’ll feel less bad
