just another question

brazen jacinth
#

mmm literally simed like 1k more dps than radiant.

wraith arrow
#

can i switch the bottem smaller row on top of the bigger

brazen jacinth
#

think ill stick with radiants for now

indigo mulch
#

So close ;o ._."

wraith arrow
#

from ascended to discended

slate crown
#

ah yeah that works

#

If you want to flip it to the top, there's a -1 you can just change to 1

#

which puts the bottom on top

wraith arrow
#

in group settings? of core?

slate crown
#

Yes, in the Group tab of the Core groups, expand the custom grow

wraith arrow
#

yeah found it and it worked

slate crown
#

simple as

#

just need to do it for the other specs too, sub and otl

#

the grow code is copied between them, unfortunately

wraith arrow
#

i tryed it at the top first in rowdata, now it works 😄

#

ty ty

slate crown
#

If I were to make this actually configurable it would either be at the top not buried at the bottom

#

or better yet a config option

#

but config options at the group level don't exist for the group, only at the individual aura level

#

I could make it work but it's spindly

wraith arrow
#

the "base" of your wa is so nice and so much work ty for that 🙂

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

obligatory dumbass question on the day from me, we're running ER capstone at all times now, right?

#

did ER -deathstalker interaction get buffed again ? I know they fixed it for "using a charged CP counts for a mark charge" but I could have sworn it wouldn't count for "full cp envenom" to give us darkest night

crisp shard
#

I just did a mythic with it and it worked for me

#

makes deathstalker alot more fun imo

shut owl
#

yeah; thats what I was shook by; it was definitely not popping darkest for me on tuesday in raid lol.

#

popped in and noticed it happening on trash. big excite

#

what ilvl did yall solo t8 bountiful just fine? where you stopped having to really worry

#

i actually havent done it since the changes solo on my rogue, and he was way lower ilvl then so im jsut curious

crisp shard
#

I feel comfortable on my rogue that's 580 ilvl as long as I don't treat it like a heroic dungeon

#

I did all 4 bountifuls today starting at 575 ilvl

shut owl
#

If you can manage to bait bran into throwing pots early its chill

brazen jacinth
#

i was doing them at 580. the only troublesome one is waterworks imo

#

only one i group up for

tranquil trout
#

has anyone solo'd that final tier Zekvir delve as rogue? was it it rough?

crisp shard
#

The udnerkeep last boss got me messed up

#

died like 3 times because my dmg is so low

honest pelican
#

gotcha, 574 was the last time idid it pre nerf and it was kinda unbearable. doable but slow

#

also had a 37 brann so

cloud basin
#

ight so does Shiv buff the Ansurek ring?

shut owl
#

a lvl 25+ bran each potion he throws gives you about 500-600k hp/s potions, so just let the hot coast forever and you can kinda pull until you get 100-0'd 😛

#

what if my mh is a pathetic 593, still craft one?

#

realistically i think ill do armor first then dagger

cloud basin
#

up to you if you want it tbh

honest pelican
#

im not worried about finding a weapon in m0. even if its like max 616

calm nymph
#

is assa doing better than sub in raid?

cloud basin
#

i went double dawnthread honestly

balmy condor
honest pelican
#

i solely do m+ on both toons, so no reason for me to have ascension

balmy condor
#

I don't think there's anything in the game anymore that isn't rppm or huge internal cd

honest pelican
#

im anxious to test out this new queen ring as a rogue though

#

havent tried it yet

balmy condor
#

what is there to test

#

it's just damage

honest pelican
#

i want to see how much, 1%? 1.5%?

winged basin

#

especially as an extra poison damage class

I have a veteran skardyn

i assume once I upgrade out of that spyglass will be better

fluid pumice
#

i hate this game. why can i be parried.

marble bough
#

question about off-hand, does the item level matter on it as much as other pieces of gear (upgrade that last) or should I upgrade both weapons first for the biggest gain and use of crests/valorstones?

Offhand damage isn't real

#

What's bugging me is his first is caustic spatter and mine is envenom and caustic is 5th

#

Why is this

balmy condor
#

you're probably not playing caustic properly

#

caustic is your big source of AoE after dots are up

#

you gotta be spamming envenoms/kingsbane into your caustic target

dusty zenith
#

To much fok spam mutilate more

balmy condor
#

what

#

don't spam mutilate

#

why would you do that

#

mutilate just applies it

dusty zenith
#

Why not spatter more target

spice spire
#

That’s not how it works

zinc frost
#

Mutilate once you apply it after bleeds are up

spice spire
#

You mut once

zinc frost
#

Mutilate again to reapply

spice spire
#

And then you can fok or whatever

#

Yeah what ruptured said

#

You just wanna maintain spatter

bitter badger

fok them up

Ahhh

novel parcel
#

I need some very important advice

I keep on (consistently) getting targeted by the first charge on m sikran, completely fucking my opener. Is it worth to just actually suffer and hate life with a scuffed opener or just hold it until after the first charge?

dusty zenith
#

Keep wiping the raid until you don’t get targeted duh

novel parcel
#

I tried I think theyre catching on though

dusty zenith
#

Be more sneaky

#

Can you shadow step out to someone and shadow step back in quick?

#

Lose a few seconds at best

novel parcel
#

No :( I cant be near ANYBODY with the charge otherwise we deadge

dusty zenith
#

Well ya ss to someone and run to the side

#

do we send transmitter on cd or hold 30s for deathmark?

I'm still p sure I'd fuck them, they'd get pissy "omg you didnt go to your spot quickly!!! Fuck your damage!!!"

poisoned knife costs less energy and only munches 1 point if it crits

balmy condor

it's also a waste of 40 energy

crisp shard

it also does not dmg

@balmy condor if I stick my hand in the toaster why does it hurt

that could be 1000 different things

it's not exactly an even playing field

#

trinkets

#

i hate trinkets

keen spruce
#

i mean in this case it led to them finding out that you have goofy embelishments

#

but in general

#

just look at the cast time line and make sure you're not making mistakes

#

and losing uptime

#

yadda yadda

crystal citrus
#

Is it possible to fix the craft and put a different embelishment on it? Or is it fucked cause I crafted siphoning

novel star
#

can recraft it for like half resources or something

keen spruce
#

well if siphoning stilletto is the actual item

novel star
#

ohh

#

yeah

crystal citrus
#

it is yeah

keen spruce
#

and it's not an embelishment

#

then it's probably bricked

stiletto isn’t an embellishment

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
#

yeah you just run out that’s how it be

keen spruce

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

btw. any value to aim for regarding envenom uptime? obviously higher == better, but i mean is the difference noticeable a lot between 80% and 90% - assuming KB and other cooldowns are always with the envenom buff

Between 80 and 90 not really

Pooling gets you from like 75 to 95

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.

2% personal damage increase is pretty big though

runic hinge

#

On heroic you just start on tanky bug, stick on it for 2 charges, then switch to tall bug, stick on it for 2 dispels, switch back to tanky bug.

grave blade
#

So the only time you want to pop envenoms are to keep up the buff, anything over 5 to contribute towards DN.

So much stuff to track. Especially with random procs of combo points too.

Throw in echoing reprimand

which you should be doing for the agi buff on 5 ruptures anyway

yeh then it’s normal

its like st is like i cant do much

yep

you don’t play to mash envenom for instant dmg

you hit envenom for uptime

do yall have mouseover macros for rupture and garrote?

novel star

when the buff is in pandemic

#

!design

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
#

other than that it’s just

#

gonna happen

#

low energy i mean

candid cove
#

so im new to assa whats envem up time ?

novel star
#

envenom gives you a buff

#

that increases your poison application chance

#

only hit a 2nd envenom when that buff is like ~1s duration or less

candid cove
#

gotcha

novel star
#

otherwise you get same amount of casts and just waste half the buff

#

so less value per energy spent

you mash asf during cds tho
