mmm literally simed like 1k more dps than radiant.
can i switch the bottem smaller row on top of the bigger
think ill stick with radiants for now
So close ;o ._."
from ascended to discended
Possibly, you'd have to modify the grow code, right now I manually position everything specifically to resize the second row
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
in group settings? of core?
yeah found it and it worked
simple as
just need to do it for the other specs too, sub and otl
the grow code is copied between them, unfortunately
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
the "base" of your wa is so nice and so much work ty for that 🙂
Thanks 
75 minutes in a GB, some may ask, was it worth it?
@balmy condor did you get rid of your special char in name in game?
Atleast you were awarded with it. Grats! Not sure it was worth your sanity though.
Not Hero track, not worth it
Get back in there
^ didn't catch that. Changed my mind. Not worth 😂

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 server transferred for it yes
based
obligatory dumbass question on the day from me, we're running ER capstone at all times now, right?
yes
I also did for my name, worth the xfer
which gem are we looking for? I can't seem to find it on wowhead
I just stalk people with my name and buy it from them. its worked 3/3 times
selling Scana-stormrage for 30 gold 
sold
Scanatwo is 31g
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
I just did a mythic with it and it worked for me
makes deathstalker alot more fun imo
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
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/e4GoWcUaiCFpa3AUhZVKJS why is tiny toxic and imp ambush so stronk? D:
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
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
If you can manage to bait bran into throwing pots early its chill
i was doing them at 580. the only troublesome one is waterworks imo
only one i group up for
has anyone solo'd that final tier Zekvir delve as rogue? was it it rough?
gotcha, 574 was the last time idid it pre nerf and it was kinda unbearable. doable but slow
also had a 37 brann so
ight so does Shiv buff the Ansurek ring?
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 😛
items and spec mechanics are water and oil
they do not mix
and im assuming the proc chance is on a timer or something?
!craft
so we arent doing it alll the time cuz nature damage

what if my mh is a pathetic 593, still craft one?
realistically i think ill do armor first then dagger
up to you if you want it tbh
im not worried about finding a weapon in m0. even if its like max 616
is assa doing better than sub in raid?
i went double dawnthread honestly
like everything, yes
this is what im planning on
i solely do m+ on both toons, so no reason for me to have ascension
I don't think there's anything in the game anymore that isn't rppm or huge internal cd
i want to see how much, 1%? 1.5%?
simply dont care lmfao, if groups I joined could kill it on 7 then I would, but people are slow
especially as an extra poison damage class
ive noticed on first 3 parses for 3rd boss on mythic, they tweaked talents a bit, is there a reason?

Anyone experience this odd bug where IC isn't spreading Ruptures?
1 is running improved posion, 1 is running no imp gar with sang blades, and 1 is not running VV
I noticed a few times last night echoing reprimand was only giving one boosted CP instead of the three. Was it a UI bug or ?
Can confirm it's not that big a deal.
Can u cloak the pull in on queen? in the first intermission
it's like 1% yeah
That is likely a UI thing
I saw it a few times but also just wasn’t sure it was bad range from IC
Oh, I had a whole mists run where I didn't get a single spread rupture. Garrote was fine
Changed specs and the back again, seemed to work but frustrating
i like imp garrote with shrouded suffocation vs VV thats the only reason i ran it there
1.6% ;X
yea im looking at you and top 4 and all are just a tiny bit different so was curious why
is it personal preferance i assume?
for me yeah
alright ty
im sure one sims better but yeah i like the feel
its always skyglass + transmitter ( aint got scardyn yet)
I have a veteran skardyn
i assume once I upgrade out of that spyglass will be better
i hate this game. why can i be parried.
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
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
ok so it sounds like just avoid OH upgrades, just wanted to make sure
for court, are we maintaining garrote + rupture on both bosses at all times?
yes
When you think the next tuning will happen/
fan of knives instead of mutilate as well?
rashanan radius is so troll for caustic 
any advice for how to improve? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rVaGywtYzLBm8hgM#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=65
probably 0
Hi. Does shadow meld give indiscriminate carnage
can you just step the pull in on queen ansurek?
no
yes
like i can stay on boss get pulled in and instantly step and im good
Technically yes, but in my experience the timing required for that is waaay to precise for it to be worth it (you'd need to step immiatedly the pull happens, not like 0.2s after)
You dont have to run all the way out though, but a little bit further to give yourself some more milliseconds of leeway is nice
Augvoker 
lol
1st boss mythic are we supposed to send cd on adds or hold till phase is over
Can u cloak the pull on queen in the first intermission?
no
no

i do it on last nova
question I just ran a +6 with another sin and we got almost same dps on most pulls
and cloak that or stack with group then Shadowstep?
What's bugging me is his first is caustic spatter and mine is envenom and caustic is 5th
Why is this
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
To much fok spam mutilate more
Why not spatter more target
That’s not how it works
Mutilate once you apply it after bleeds are up
You mut once
Mutilate again to reapply
And then you can fok or whatever
Yeah what ruptured said
You just wanna maintain spatter
fok them up
Ahhh
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?
Keep wiping the raid until you don’t get targeted duh
I tried I think theyre catching on though
Be more sneaky
Can you shadow step out to someone and shadow step back in quick?
Lose a few seconds at best
No :( I cant be near ANYBODY with the charge otherwise we deadge
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!!!"
Say fuck your damage then
it's a stat on use, would be insane to not cast it with your cooldowns
you'd buff nothing
Does the dagger Worshipers Poniard come from a delve?
maybe
I've seen 3 ppl with it.
yes its from delve

@balmy condor I see on the cheatsheet that now Anub'ikkaj trinket is over Ara-kara egg in mythic+?
Whisp if I ignore my 3,4 anima charged combo points and only use them on darkest night is that fine
what
I’m sick and ttired of pressing mut on 6
So I save er combo points for only capstone
It is indeed painful
I won’t
poisoned knife costs less energy and only munches 1 point if it crits
it's also a waste of 40 energy
it also does not dmg
@balmy condor if I stick my hand in the toaster why does it hurt
poisoned knife is the least efficient button you could ever press
but what if you are energy capped and at range?
shadowstep
You probably messed up somewhere else for that to happen
it's more of a pvp ability
You haven’t built up resistances yet. You need to keep doing it until you evolve and it doesn’t hurt anymore.
!fuu

Ya. It’s just spicy tanlines
Convinced Skardyns doesnt exist

fatebound simming higher?
made a mistake not slamming energy before leaving
for me yes on st with or withour caustic
but everybody with logs are doing deathstalker, prob for the prio damage it gives to the boss tho
Probably because less rng with deathstalker and better defensives
Is anyone else feeling that hit boxes are off this expansion? I find my toon needs to be almost inside a boss before I can hit it?
We lost acrobatic strikes
We lost acrobatic strikes, they changed it from range increase to an auto attack thing
How do we get blizzard to change deathstalker's mark to read 5 or more combo points instead of maximum?
Why is this
How does caustic spatter works
no
hitting something with caustic spatter applied will cause nature damage you deal to the target to aoe

target
Can you evasion the devour mechanic on last boss
target. center of it's hitbox specifically i think
one day I will not fuck up and loose my mark in the chaos of NW 3rd boss
probably not today though
yeah, i tried to get caustic to hit the adds on bloodhound but it didnt not work lol
now that mythic is out, are we safe to craft dawnthread lining on bracers/boots?
seeing some other rogues running ascendance on dagger
which option is better? or are they both just close enough
I believe ascension is more for raiding, and dawnthread for mythic+, but I don't think there's a huge diff
anyone know how much % 4p is for us?
should i be maintaining garrote and rupture on both bosses for court?
yes

Yea… was thinking too good to be true.

ah
sometimes just breaks in raids
So if you die it just breaks?
that's interesting
which is an easier second spec, outlaw or sub?
void reapers fist weapon any good for us?
you have to re-equip your daggers every time you wipe
well considering that equipping a non-dagger makes mutilate unusable :P
gonna say no

ty
whats considered a "big" dagger?
how exactly does clear the witness work my dmg in that seems low compared to other people
if make wrist/belt in m+ and then second craft parts is my lowest parts?
myth track
you apply a mark either from stealth or from darkest night you get the buff and then the next fan of knives consumes it
so then everytime i get that proc i should fan of knives or does it get used another way
if you don't run vicious venoms you would fok to consume the buff in single target
and if i do run vicious venoms what do i do
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kXPFWZgdFTqKTNFWQVSmRB did depths get nerfed? radiant power simming weirdly close
that boss is insane
you fok on 2 like normal
was afkin in my tw dungeon to watch the kill lmao
First time playing assassination and my ilvl parse is awful. Does anyone have any tips looking at my parse to improve? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/t4yckaJzRjFwDZ7m#type=damage-done&fight=20&source=17

i feel like u definitely want spatter
there's so many adds on that fight
Yeah splatter prob would have been better
log for u quakequake
dude

fuckin whatever man i gotta watch the vod 
what a difficulty curve

doomed
be nice
Sims told me that was best lol
AINT
@balmy condor https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kXPFWZgdFTqKTNFWQVSmRB check pls
cause you probably simmed it against nothing
did you compare it to ascension?
is depths not much diff to radiant?
I did all crafts
no
wth
did that sim ascension
Maybe not lol
yea

stiletto just comes with an embellishment by default and not a particularly good one
and obviously a dagger with an embellishment will beat a regular unembellished dagger

That ilvl parse also isn't that tragic
stilleto is giga shit
just fix embelishments
but that’s likely not the actual issue with ur parse
and u probably fine
i mean it's 91 -> 54
50ish
that could be 1000 different things
but embelishment easy fix
also ilvl parse stinky stat
don't look at it
well like
don't look at either
just review the buttons you press
cuz like
you're 608
so what if some other 608 guy
Yeah that's mostly what I was asking, feel like I'm missing something key
has poopy bracers and boots
but has giga weps and trinkets
it's not exactly an even playing field
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
Is it possible to fix the craft and put a different embelishment on it? Or is it fucked cause I crafted siphoning
can recraft it for like half resources or something
well if siphoning stilletto is the actual item
it is yeah
stiletto isn’t an embellishment
Rip lol
yeah u gotta go new dagger
!flensing
isn’t it like 0.2% worse or something
you were still pruple parsing
just has the health loss shit which is rip
Man I CANNOT get the hang of not just running myself dry on energy
I do that often too
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
yeah you just run out that’s how it be
speccing into assassination should have an in game pop-up saying "this is one of the last remaining specs in the game that isn't faceroll 400 buttons perma"


ret seems uber faceroll
fuck i missed their kill
95% of specs are uber faceroll
yeah but i don’t wanna play ret man
just enjoy the vibes of being out of energy
cool theme garbage actual class

yeh
saw exile clicking to spotify on 2nd monitor while pulling earlier
optimal sin gameplay
I'm gonna be honest, if assassination ever sees permanent changes that make it faceroll 65apm perma and energy is deleted from the spec like every other spec has had their resource deleted
I probably quit game

8.3 I was very close to just not coming back
Tempered potions breaking stealth is not a feel good moment
Why are you using pots in stealth hello
at least it was strong
now SL season 1
I know, lol

that was tough
i don't like my enemies to know what im sipping
spec basically didn't exist
god
what if they removed snapshotting
well yeah
8.3 just was miserable design
you don’t like mashing envenom perma and still being overcapped energy?
i'd just play aff
raid tank
man
10.0 was also a breaking point
There’s some clip of me literally smashing my keyboard screaming because I had 100% uptime on envenom for 8 minutes straight mid raid
O_o I just got a champion mad queens mandate from the Do 5 timewalking dungeons weekly
what other specs actually care about base resource like that still
feral and arcane ig
who else
arms?
Sitting there slamming an envenom when the previous has 3 seconds remaining over and over and over
I was losing my shit

I’m kinda excited for the new twist the knife but I’m also somewhat scared because it’s the gateway to just removing energy and xdd envenom stacks what’s the issue xddd
I thought assassination is supposed to be low dps, why am I always top dps in my raid group🤔
Rest of your raid sucks

Like actually you could be out gearing an arcane mage by 6-7 item level and still have no hope of catching them
can top dps with whatever if ur guildies are mid and ur locked tf in
Simply not possible
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
If there are 4 mobs, is it worth double garrote and rupture? to get the dots on that 4th target?
And that’s 1.5-2%
Yes
ty
Are rings a crappy spark craft? Mine are siitting at 590 and I have 600+ belt and wrist and a 616 MH
absolute value or relative to your own?
Like we just did heroic sikran, I shouldn't be top dps😂
I have no clue what the difference is
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
It's me and a BM hunter as top dps lol, and I'm typically like 50k over the BM
We’re talking about a rogue playing correctly vs not playing correctly
What is absolute value here
i meant, lets say you play a m+ and all 3 DDs deal around 33.33 of the damage, 2% increase of your 33.33% would push you to 34%
!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.
indubitably
he’s asking like what the total increase to the party’s damage is i think
but that’s super irrelevant when the discussion is about avoiding personal mistakes
It’s a rogue optimization
so idk maybe jts not that
Personal gameplay
i’m sleepy i don’t know what happens ever even when i’m not sleepy
so what the fuck
is it bad to craft shoulders?
oh roger that
my point is, i don't feel like tracking something that gives me a 2% increase compared to other things that could benefit me more
2% personal damage increase is pretty big though

if that’s below ur cutoff to start caring about playing properly then
a lot of things are gonna be below whatever that cutoff is
What is the opportunity cost to playing envenom correctly
It’s literally just
Don’t press the button?
nerd words im out
he won
What slot in general do we like the least?
Chest
i hate feet
(not whispyr)
oh nvm wrong question
i fucking love feet
luv seeing trolls and pandas and worgen with their dogs out for the world 2 see
should I renew normal garrote with imp. garrote?
is there still a problem with deathstalkers mark btw
which one
i feel like i sometimes dont get the renew buff when swapping off a target with the mark on it just before it dies
there were like 20 problems
dunno mine has been mostly fine with dying mobs i think
i had a add at bloodbound horror bleed out from like 2% earlier and went back onto boss and i just lost my mark for the rest of the fight cause of that
!up
is it worth dropping iron wire for lighweight shiv in the hybrid M+ build?
Is 0.5% dps worth more to you than the strongest m+ utility in the game
maybe im overthinking it, but i am assuming that in the situation keeping track of a falling off envenom also collides with e.g. forced movement or other external factors
prob not ngl
Wouldn’t that overlap regardless of if you’re pooling or not
just keep track of it whenever u dont have to move, will result in halfof those 2% maybe
You just let envenom drop and then do the mechanic and then go back
This is like
Very basic mechanics of the spec
I don’t get the issue
I have a few questions
Terrifying
just think of envenom like garrote or rupture
you wouldn't just garrote on CD
because you might have to refresh it during movement
just play correctly

Why no full send envenom every 7 combo points

Number 1, why does fatebound sim higher, but not used
Chinese logs with flensing knives, guide recommendations, bait and switch, funnel damage,fb is more rng, general apes
blaming the chinese 
You heard it. Fatebound for China apes. Ook ook
I mean literally all the Chinese logs are just flensing knives abuse
For like 0.4% or whatever it’s doing
is dslice sgood to sim M+ for assa or is there a better tool
what does that mean
dslice gud
You don't wanna know
If you talent out of bait and switch you get flensing knives back instead of fatal intent
I dont understand what flensing knives is
Ah old hero talent they removed and replaced with fatal intent
y no send envenoms every 7 cp for big dam with DN.
am I dumb.
What
You have to use a 7cp envenom for darkest night
???????
That’s just how the talent works
Why wouldn’t you
Tell me how to do the bug
No
Think he means why not do that every envenom
step 1: be chinese
also since when did echoing rep cps count for darkestnight
I am Chinese now what
Because darkest night isn't available every envenom
Anyone bored and interested in looking at my logs to give me some tips on where to improve?
Since the bug was fixed that made it not work correctly as intended
This
More cp more dam?
It's not a permanent buff
hm, alright
Yeah and you waste cp and waste mark stacks
i am aware of that but id specifically like to know the time so i know how long i was actively avoiding them while trying to get mark back up asap
It only happens once every 3 mark advancements
Damage is linear with cp
Like a week and a half?
ok so ive been a doodoo for 10days.. 
Whats the optimal cp usage for envenom when not 7cp'ing DN?
5+
All finishers are 5cp or more
You only ever go past 5 in order to use darkest night
Ok so I'm an idiot and I'm learning.
me too...keep asking questions
I'm still smarter than fury warrior gamers though. I take some comfort in that.
Well, this is a place for knowledge and shitposting.
Anyone else going fatebound on court bc it’s easier to target swap? Or am I missing something
ive lost all respect for frost mages seeing icelance as anything between 50-60% of their dmg breakdown on single target, fury warriors cant be that smoothbrained compared to that
Just a practice thing
I got one of those down
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.
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
Timing kb/tea/shiv windows etc
So I have to use my brain. Got it.
Well, if you stopped, youd be dead in a few minutes
It's just a practice thing. Unlike outlaw, assassination isn't very fast paced, you often have a bit of time to react, no button mashing needed
You'll get used to it quickly
Now I want mashed potatoes 
you wouldn't believe the takes some of us had when we first got here
Some of you still do


any 2's or 3's rogue players on rn?
How can you sim embelish on your char?
Shmeeps wrong
Top gear add the gear and then hit the +
is there a list to add the craftted gear?
There’s a search at the top

thanks
Ladies and gentlemen we gottem
you'll be aight, it gets to the point of not thinking about it just gotta play a lot
uncloakable moment
ngl i was struggling in the heroic pug i was doing last night
every time i ran out for the lines i got insanely low
would fatebound be better for silken court?
kyveza is super fun
i was having fun ye
can anyone explain to me how tf to play assa in keys it feels like i do no dam on boss and i have no energy
You'll have downtime periods in between cds
no energy on boss is kinda normal
no energy in aoe means you didn’t apply bleeds
i always have energy in aoe
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
do yall have mouseover macros for rupture and garrote?
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
so im new to assa whats envem up time ?
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
gotcha
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
but yeh
no but i watched the hook hit a warlock pet
I never felt like they were THAT important. but probably good to have
Yeah i get nothing good why
im 50 away from 2k rn and its become hell to get rating
my ilvl is so fucking bad
i really need to craft some shit
it’s story mode ansurek for 2x dawnthread time i think
tomorrow
free 619
got heroic curio+vault+token+catalyst
do it
no more pvp ascension dagger
so 4 heroic tier items in one go
lmao
im still stuck using it
i have 2 hero daggers
but also i plan to pvp too for transmog
because like uhh
i might not have bought it if that wasnt the case
its weird when you dont need anything from lower keys
but dont have the io to get into 8s outside guild groups
yeah i felt that in s4 a lot too
do we FoK on 2 target?
at 614 i barely need anything from non champ gear
i'm only 610 but i'm the same, feels bad
yeah thats how my rogue is atm
barely halfway through week 1
took a break from shitty pugs to level dev instead
ngl scalecommander goes hard as fuck
I just had irl before raid usually
only did one delve because had a map
and bt tw
yeah
because guaranteed hero piece
the boys show up
thats shit so good
Flip a coin for 4 minutes and never hit your capstone and
about it
lucky coin on first pull and carry through entire dungeon 
this week feels extra bad because we are useless on the affix
!up
belf stonks
the fact that blind only works if you use it on a mob next to the orbs instead of the orb itself is so ass though
sry if stupid question. how does the cp return work for bonespikes? also does bonespike work with indiscriminate carnage or is it 3 separate casts of ruptures?
Ye kinda annoying right
Bonespike targets all targets when u have em off cd
So u get 3 extra cps off your first rup with carnage
thanks for answering
last one. does it stack on single target? like do i get 3 cp back after my 3rd rupture refresh on single target?
yoooo is it normal to get zero loot from mythic + even tho am number 1 damage and am the one who used the key ?
like everyone else got loot but me
neither of those things impact who gets loot
yes its normal
just an L

Yes u fire off a bonespike even if the target already has it
very helpful. thanks a lot!

Man, I love my assasination rogue in m+ but when it comes time to wanna raid I just wanna play one of my other characters lol
I'm having a BLAST in both raid and m+. I've been enjoying deathstalker way more than I think I would. something about that big darkesnt night envenom hit just activates my neurons
big ass envenom does feel good, but i currently prefer FB so i can focus more on the fight xdd
if im 1 cp off my anima charge for DN, am i reapplying garote to hit it?
or is mut and fan the only builders during cds
just vanish garrote

I just did my first key of the season wanna see details?
im really mad
i just finished leveling dev and its really fun with scalecommander
but i cant play a class i cant transmog
Do you guys solo delves?
i do
Yeah - just dodge and cc things and you’ll be good
mate
yes
i like devestation gameplay
i like dracthyr as a race
but the entire no transmog thing is enough to never make me play them for more then a 5min "its funny" alt
surely soon
it cant look any worse than tauren transmog does
just do it blozar
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
play the fatebound build in raid u'll be top 5 and thats a promise
that my thing aswell lol
like, worgen/tauren allready have scuffed tmog, the result is people just....not using the bad looking pieces? whats the problem lol
Is there the following combo points Weakaura?
- No Deathstalker's Mark on the opponent: Color the bar when maximum combo points are reached.
- With Deathstalker's Mark on the opponent: Color the bar when 5 or more combo points are reached.
I just want a better visualisation when to finish.
tbf
5+ cp is out baseline finisher rule
the only thing you have to track is the capstone
thats my fb vs DS
at 612 il
603
DS will sim more for basically everyone till like high high IL
interesting
the lower the IL the better Ds will be
and it will prolly always be better in m+ not only cuz the overall
but prio dmg
which is king
and more defensive
Hey guys. Which Sim do you recommend?
Gear & fatebound vs DS
Well ideally both.
Long time wow player but newer to retail so just catching up. I'm doing okay in raid and mythic+ but I feel like I could be doing a lot better for my ilvl
!fuu

Top gear patchwerk 5m - compares all of the gear in your bag/vault (if you haven't selected anythign yet). Single target sim
droptimizer patchwerk 5m - looks up drops in dungeons and raid. single target sim
either of those with dungeonslice will give you a better M+ answer
Been playing assassination but been kinda bummed at how the spec looks overall vs other classes and even other rogue specs
do you have to keep reapplying wax afte deaths?
Think its requipping weapons instead
like drag to inventory and drag back
Hello, do I make a thread if I wish for people to help me see how I can improve with logs ?
!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
ik tier lists are whatever, but Dorki spreading misinfo about sin rogue for real
said need restealths, and the damage is pad 
Hi, should I update champion gear or farm hero and invest stones in it? I struggle, I'd say I need to but it's annoying
i only suffer with re-stealth when my mark bugs out and I need to reapply it. but it's kinda chill saving vanish in keys for it so far.
hero
Highly rated m+ player DorkiBear spreading misinformation?
no way
on my internet?

restealth cope
that doesn't even make sense

I mean the ST is bad on bosses
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
that one is accruate
which fair enough about ST, but bring any other mob and it immediately is good
and high keys you often often bring adds onto bosses
fuckin 600 ilvl resto shammy healed through a 9 necrotic
oh i found the video
to be fair
he put assas in A
and said it has good funnel
and that it had bad ST
and like the majority of assas players still think restealths are important
so I woudn't expect a bear to know
better

yeah "low A"
idk i played a lot of sin, frost, and enha on beta. And Sin can pump as much as any of them
Hello sorry, how do I initiate the process for anybody here to help go through my logs to see what I need to improve?
I mean low A seems reasonable
i got 2 pi on a fight and this shows on logs, did i got something else or why does this happen? shame cuz it was a really good log
it was a good log cuz you got 2 pis
again i go mythic +4 i use the key i drop 2.26 billion damage number 1 and i get nothing at the end
is my game bugged thier is NOWAY MAN
but i mean most top logs are with pi
Gotta be bugged
they still show on the rankings
PI logs get invalidated when you have more than 1 priests worth of PI
but they dont' count towards all star points or personal parse or something like that
oh
did 2 priest pi me at same time?
you tell me
