So even though the trinket is dogshit for them too
It’s just numerically too strong
To ignore
But again whispyr
Transmitter for non dm kbs
And skardyns for dm kb
Think of the stonks
I do not regret my mallort+milk
Mallort? I hardly know-er!
You deserve everything

Gonna need you to sit this one out lil bro
They call it a chaser because you gotta chase it down your esophagus before it curdles
My only on use rn is transmitter xddd
THis made me gag
Good
Reminds me of a drink combo that I will not say the name of
But baileys + Guinness
Was similar
Holy based
Very good but you had to drink it in one down
(Pint)
does anyone know why fatebound sims better but everyone play deathstalker im rly confused
Babe you’ve hardly touched your monster
And some people just don’t wanna flip coins
You mean the energy drink right?
Fatebound is rng, worse defensives, worse funnel, etc
Also I hate this every single time
Yes, but that’s a gonster
You haven’t touched either
What’s up with that
ofc you do
guys, this might be the stupidest question you've heard all week, but i can't for the love of god remove this mug appearance from my offhand from the brew festival. It's been 7 hours, there are no buffs or mog to change
anyone encountered this bug?
@normal mist
what is the opinion of Siphoning Stilleto? does the siphoned health cause much of a problem?
Lemme call in my transmog expert
i've seen in wow forums years ago but without solution
i already spent like 5k gold switching transmogs to see if it solves
lol awesome
Thx @balmy condor
It was a mistake to give me wowhead guides cause now I get to use the editor to make shitposts
nothing in offhand LMAO, literally only one dagger equipped
sentenced to brewfest all year
I want what you’re having
do NOT equip the brewfest mug you're gonna regret it
Has it always said “the stupid fucking dogshit dagger”???? 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t remember it saying that
Question if i shadowstep is there any point when i do i am immune to damage like Meta for DH?
No
!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
also: you can't add sockets to timewarped rings/necks
wish i had known before upgrading
@prisma monolith awesome thanks for that info 😄

does mists maze unstealth anyone else?
have that issue all the time when we open a new door, I get insta pulled outta stealth lol
goofy, least I know it aint just me
Why does the new affix "buff" break stealth, OMG...
I always wait til the blue swirly goes away to stealth in mists
Why grim batol 619 trinket sims more dmg than 619 transmitter? Isn’t 15k mainstat a lot?
because it has main stat base while transmitter has much less secondary
Atleast you have it...I've done 8 Grim Batols so far 😢
@balmy condor You really put me on a very exhausting and frustrating mission of acquiring the Skardyn's Grace 😮💨

Mine is 606. I didn’t got the heroic one sadly I just used to sim if I wanna get transmitter from raid or farm grim batol)
is it better or worse than trying to get 2 nicks
Better cause it’s spammable
Ye, I only do +7's or 8's, no point going for lesser one when I can do Hero Track
Same
I got 2k rio and started doing grim batol 7 only
sub will join in the pain when dust is deleted
aYO
I’m glad I saw this too 
whats the best embilishment for a crafted dagger?
was digging around wowhead and couldnt find it :/
yo can someone tell me if bubbling is still fucked rq
are we reapplying it every pull still etc
!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
Hello guys i see on method website we maintain crimson tempest vs 2 targets? it's correct or not? i see on other website vs 3 targets
Two
Yes
ty
ok thx alot
ty king
and for the M+ / raid in neck we pref crit mastery (mist) or haste mastery (stonevault) ?
Sim yourself
why is subterfuge in non of these assa builds on wowhead for m+?
Less dmg and you don't really need it
what about garrote silence?
Could give more utility yeah but this is usefull when your mates sucks and don't use kick/cc
In dungeon you can keep it for packs with a lot of casters yeah
as long as this stinky poo poo talent exists
it's very hard to go down that part of the tree
it heals less than just sometimes using crimson vial over a dungeon
see above
also all of those "what ifs" have been calculated when they sim different builds
the answer to "what about" is "it does less damage"
generally
ah man I have a 626 and 619 dagger but the simmy increase on a 636 craft is so tempting
!tierset
I saw a rogue with 2.2k io today with shadow heart and double vanish
streamer watchers
2.2k is ez to get but
12 month zerocool subscriber moment
why, people dont play double vanish?
no it sucks
why
2.2k is not hard but it’s also like 3 days into the season. I don’t have the time for that many keys
!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.
bros have time for keys 10 hrs a day
and still miss title
I mean yeah you make make a lot of goofy shit work
you could probably make use of it in an organized group where the key's success revolves around doing a couple giga pulls, but generally it's not very useful
what do u take instad of double vanish
3% leech in stealth is worse than goofy
then do 0 boss damage and still not time the key

basically anything
Anything else.
that right column is banned
Er for DS and CB for fatebound
at the bottom of the tree
idek tf the double vanish talent called
Then deeper and tea for both
i forgot
Without a trace

sims at a 6% drop on my character, which is a fair bit but
after the 10.2 changes and people were playing for prio/boss damage instead of overall, they got mocked for it. idk where we win on it/how we value it anymore
They were rightly mocked for it because they were doing it in +20s
but to your point, maybe? 
who knows
high m+ers will always cook up some goofy BS
I never saw that context tethered to it so I missed out on that side
I mean basically there was like 3-5 rogues doing it in like R1 assas keys
and people saw the talents
very large
and there was a storm of people coming in bothering whispyr
about why that build wasn't on the guides
and the answer was that 99.99% of people didnt' even need to look at that build
but i'm sure there was collateral damage in the mocking

as there always is
yeah there's a few one tricks tho
yeah that adds up, just sayin I didn't personally catch that side of 'er. I trust your word on it big dawg(duck)
in an m+ what should your top 6 damage abilities be? and what should your highest damage spell be?
@balmy condor i have a question sir
ct spatter rupture garrote envenom
last one ermmm
about ovinax
how are you playing / recommend playing the fight?
i hard focused ovinax bc i thought applying two bleeds and then muti on another enemy that is going to die anyway was a waste of energy
For example on these larves
probably also depends on how your group tanks the boss and pops eggs right?
on worms you should probably swap but IF they are far away
?
Last time I took advice from whispyr about ovinax I got meleed to death by spiders and the group immediately disbanded
adds dont live long enough on ovinaxx
sanguine blades?
to do more than spatter them
yea so its not worth to Spatter on someone else but boss ?
what should number 1 damage be? just so i know if im not prioritzing
usually my garrote or rupture is number 1
my spatter is 2 or 3
i play only in mainraid maybe pugs are shit
Likely depends on key
and how your tank pulls
Idk I guess?
or am i misunderstanding
I play outlaw on ovinaxx
lol
@balmy condor would it be an easy alteration for someone who's never created plater profiels to adjust the deathstalkers mark target in your profile to have their frame glow to make it easier to see which mob its on?
Depends how much aoe your group has, but rupturing spiders should always be worth
was thinking about outlaw on Ovinax aswell same as on Court
If your group sucks you can go CT
true didnt do it
Probably better to just caustic
Probably not
well xd
You remove an aoe talent for every war or dk in your group
got a 76 log
do you have any suggestions where i can start digging?
Depends what kind of glow you’re looking for
heroic logs
But my plater has basically 0 support for adding a glow
Just not set up for it
You can maybe finding something on wago
And then rip the script/mod out
word
And hope it just works

Lol
Hey folks, is there any pre-key shenanigans that we can do as Sin?
glow/border, or change color? I have one of each
when we play with iron wire, how do we open for DM KB?
do we shiv in between or no
or shiv last seconds
You’re an outlaw one trick
I was like top 10 assas... then I walked into a 27 throne and got one shot by the zap on the first boss
last seconds but tbh it doesn't matter for aoe and imo shiving can be a dps loss on aoe
if it kills your target before last kb tick

ill give you a wa on dm
spatter should be #1
i think
dude pugging as dev is so easy
i just apply as aug and swap in cd
fastest queues of my life
That feeling when you're the only rogue in the raid and two regicides drop
congrats on your free crest saves
Anyone know how to turn down the affix announcements

How are they gonna give feral this change and not give us the same change for caustic?!
Ya except when the mob doesn't do he spattering because of enormous hit boxes. lol
mob not very good at spattering
Like Rasha'nan spatter basically just never hits the adds for me.
!Macro
Fairly certain spatter range is based on the center of the targets hit box...so if they have a giant hit box you can be in melee range of two mobs and not have spatter hit the 2nd.
yall ever get food down the wrong pipe so u cough it up but then it goes up the wrong pipe too so you do a sniffle
and a piece of tofu flies from your sinuses into your mouth

Good evening. I was wounding if someone that is experienced could look at my logs and help me figure out how to improve?
You’re not supposed to breathe it
Does feint work on splice from cot last boss?
so Bubbling wax isn't scaled down in Timewalking?
No
sure
not without elusiveness
it's not an aoe
it's a dot
Doesn’t count as aoe?
debuff on you
I’d love if anyone has like a sheet with everything you can feint
Feint is my new best friend
guys 636 craft dagger is good?
got a hero socketed helm with avoidance
I think the webs can’t be feinted but the slam can be which is nice
biggg catalyst
we 4manned last two bosses in 8 SoB
game decided to bless us
for timing it
"The Necrotic Wake
Zolramus Gatekeeper’s Wrath of Zolramus damage reduced by 25%.
Zolramus Gatekeeper’s enemy forces contribution increased.
Surgeon Sitchflesh
Stitchflesh’s Creation’s Festering Rot periodic damage reduced by 20%.
City of Threads
Izo, the Grand Splicer
The duration of Splice reduced to 6 seconds (was 9 seconds)."
idk how you guys are finding good groups for m+. I'm waiting like 20m for, like, tanks that don't know to run from Molten Mace or DK's chronically gripping elementals into the group on dragon boss
thank god festering rot nerf
it was about time
City was more crazy
last boss if you aint like 615+ you MAYBE do it
Your healer gotta be cracked out
the secret is that every good player is not pugging
I've randomly had good luck in city, though I've only been spamming 7's so far
NW has been fucking murdering people though
that means by proxy I suck; so I believe this to be true
not really

at a certain point, its mostly about who you know
yeah gotta network for your +7's

nah it's just literally run with your guild
or a friends guild
or just friends
or a friends friends guild
friends?
yeah most pug players don't have any
plus most pugs dont want rogue anyways
s4 has left a huge stain
on pugging with rogue
Someone asked earlier today if blizz would nerf those dungeons. Where they at now
I play rogue because I RP as somebody who doesn't have friends
nobody can spot our loneliness if we're stealthed
but nah I gave my guild all of DF, they're peaking at like one-chesting +3's right now, I can't be waitin on these dudes any longer lol
first vanish is so they can't see how lonely I am and the second vanish is so they can't see me cry
need a WA that plays a random system of a down song whenever you vanish
there's your double vanish value
doing keys with guildmates, everything is fine and kinda fun
then 2 people go offline and i decide to try GB +7 for trinket chance
P A I N
so much pain
yeah
I pugged for my runed crests in like a +3
anything higher than that
I shall not pug
I am not brave enough to go wade in the cesspool by myself
should i craft ascension or focusing lens if i m+ on assa and raid on sub?
would run sim but on my phone xd
its just baffeling
like, our tank is a WW main that didnt touch brewmaster this Expansion at all before m+ release and he has 0problems
then you do keys with randoms and the tanks ALWAYS die randomly 2-3 times
if you're on your phone and can't sim why would you need the answer now
can't you just like
i was just curious?
I mean
it's a pro/con
ascension better for assa
lens better for sub
you gotta weigh that for yourself
just trying to see if one is outweighed by the other or what the lesser worse is
ill prob just do lens
me with double dawnthread:
gave up on a GB 8
potential dumb q, anyone know what is unstealthing me when I go in to new sections of the mists maze? seemed like when a pack got pulled I just got stealth yoinked
the mobs spawning
o.O
makes…. sense?
if you're in the room and the mobs spawn
i suffered trought a gb10 for vault
you just get knocked out
np
ooh i did a boralus 10
last boss was nonsense
is crimson tempest not in the top 5 of damage ?
in what situation
m+ like 4 pack
with what talents
dont enter stealth till the very moment the tank is pulling, then go stealth > ambus/garrote insta
with hybrid
all my damage is situated in the right place but my numbers are cheeks
is the main thing maintaining rupture or garrote?
esp if a pack is dying quickly?
oop
heres a screenshot from a previous dungeon if that helps at all
let's compare i don't know how damage breakdowns in dungeons should look at all
what's the command to use a tempered potion in a macro? am noob
is envenom important in a shorter pack? and what should i prio in a longer pack
yeah yours looks fine doesnt it
to be fair they look very similar outside of the rupture
it looks like you're not spreading bleeds as much as you maybe should but if packs aren't living long anyway then that would make sense
whats min haste% for assass
/use Tempered Potion
I'd prio getting caustic / CT up in lower keys
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
np
10 Boralus
nah he died on 3rd boss and bricked the key. we had to kill boss with 2 dps at 40% hp
overtimed by 4 mins
fuckin sad
died on 3rd boss and bricked the key is unironically still the best boomkin performance I've seen
I didn't realize that was possible what
screenshot?
in a multi pack is it worth to keep applying garrote to the whole mob even tho it has a cooldown?
im talking without vanish
or just to your main target
lmao what
fucking wild
Holy fuck
i got the neck as warbound the first week
what am I looking at??
we gonna just pretend Diaperfiller isn't sayin "kittens please"

account bound very rare drop
eranog ring but transferrable in-account
Correct
i rolled an 8 on triknet
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
and this guy gets a very rare drop as warbound
sad times
why is my luck so shit with trinkets
dev is 603 using a darkmoon deck and an lfr healer trinket
anyone have the tier set spreadsheet?

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

If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
kinda a noobie question, For someone only heroic raiding and prob wont see mythic gear outside of M+ vaults
should i take great vault 619 tier helm, or 616 helm w socket...not sure if its worth using catalyst on the other helm for a socket.
dont have any tier yet, so catalysting something for more tier in the future prob outwieghs a helm socket on only a hero track item ya?
!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.

sin feels actually bis for raid when all 3 specs do close dmg
so much of my brain left to do/look for mechanics
Most based take you’ve ever had
oh shit am i part of the cool kids club now?
Hi guys, what % of dmg increase is the 2 and 4 set for Assassination?
Like 3% for both
okay thank you
Gives me time to throw out some uwu’s in general chat
maybe like 3 weeks ago yeah 
you mean pre nerf on beta
#showtooltip Rupture /cast [@mouseover,harm,exists,nodead][] Rupture
have this binded on shift-e but it doesnt go off (with cp), tried it on dummys and on npcs ..why?
Feels as bad as puzzle box to use too
authority of depths or radiant power?
I mean It's still hero track over my 2 non-bis champ trinkets XD
yeah true
single target depths m+ radiant
how much
250k
It’ll be a twitch drop next week
not bad

what's that normally go for?
surprised they stopped doing amazon prime wow promos
probably 6 or 7
no idea depends on server

@balmy condor how much can we trust this droptimizer thing?
it doesn't take into account enchants, does it?
maybe that's why the dagger is not showing higher
and in my guild mostly assa is the lowest prio all the time
looks fine
"everyone is cranking except for required raid buffs"
but maybe that;'s an assa thing
yeah, welcome to being the shit spec of the season
how much of kyveza does atro actually work on i wonder
Yeah just wanted to confirm how reliable that is because it even mentions double on use trinkets could cause issues, maybe there were other issues as well
at least we have a place in m+
guildies are even asking to start a frost dk LOL
I don't get loot in raid unless basically everyone else doesn't need it
cause if it's an upgrade for me
chances are it's a bigger upgrade for like
9 other people
Yeah the fucking ring dropped in ansurek, i thought: omg assa will be the top priority
guess what fucking hunters get it better
doens it interacts with spatter nor shiv..?
nor kb?
items do not interact with spec mechanics
s1 dragonflight ring did afaik
yeah but literally any spec that deals even a little bit of nature damage will saturate the proc
so it's whatever
what key level roughly does the hybrid build become the preferred choice for mythic+?
the only thing that buffs items is vers
probably like 3 or 4
interesting, so quite early then really. thank you mate
bleed build just does zdps single target
and bosses suck really hard
you still got sudden demise and do plenty of aoe
Is airborn irritant bugged for the xal blessing? I'm using it on the group but only getting 1
you have to use it on a mob
then it'll work
blind doesn't spread from the orb
yeh
gotta cast on a mob
ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
and then hope it's in range
Thank you
not only this little dogshit mecanic removes our stealth, there's also this
Anyone tried Fatebound on Court? Downed HC Court today and, while I did great dps, I found the mark management a bit of a headache.
I think I did like 3 pulls on fatebound
does the same damage
you dont lose that much as you could think, given tha tank should be chaining anyways most of the time
fatebound is always like very close
but no one plays it because logs don't play it
so it just feedback loops
I like it in theory, but I wanna be more chill on reclears, ya know?
yeah i mean fatebound vs ds isnt as big as people think
its not like warriors who have like a 20% diff in their hero trees

Defensives are worse, no?
lol
I mean yeah if you have a place to press evasion
and there's magic damage
bait and switch is literally crazy
but it's a heroic raid
so no
True
fatebound just seems better designed for outlaw
I shall probably just fatebound it. I'm glad they're so close.
you get more double coins since adr is way more often than dm
im never looking at the hero talents and thinking about the defensive values honestly im ngl
just purge all the chinese logs abusing flensing knives and surely there will be more fatebound logs right
DS seems better designed for sub, but nobody plays sub rip
oop shh

the fact this is a thing
fucking kills me
it's so brainrot
alot of people do....
sub is
very goodge
i think you play trickster more fights though
because they changed the first word on bladeflurry
doesn't sub have more parses than assa
and made that a hero tree
maybe not in heroic
in mythic p sure yea
Really? I can't find any content creators for it, who actually post guides etc.
I love sub, even more now that Sepsis is gone.
cant wait for rework and having to farm
Not in heroic
yeh silly heroic raiders
i'm running also atrophic poison on high keys
city of threads and grim batol for example
i feel like sub is more played
by higher end players
than super casuals
coudl be wrong
It is
It's my preferred spec, but haven't ran into any others so far.
also you have to play transmitter
We figured sub would be better for this tier in general but assa plays better in almost every fight
say that to slayer
incredible
Ed said I have to play sub cause I got a transmitter in my weekly box
The only fights we thought sub would be better in theory for would be sikran and princess but like... the downtime when you get mechanics isn't fun for it
overwhelming blade is a global amp 
I don't even know what they do 
When Disc Priests could outburst DPS with the mechagon trinket. 
go for it, full commit team
ngl if you get first charge as sub on sikran
you might as well kick your router
this works on trinkets
and fake a d/c
on princess intermission you'll be PUMPING on sub

ah the classic
Anyone mess with double vanish instead of ER in keys? Feels pretty good to have when you have a tank pressing w
its why ansurek trinket is so good on warr
the classic "remove global amp from all amp spells last expac, then introduce new abilities and forget to remove it on those"
I don't think it's "forget to remove"
I think it's literally just wrong spell flag
with every new spell that is a "target takes more damage from you"
yes :) cause the flags say the same thing
but one is wrong
and one is right
and they lose the 50/50
youd think theyd just, like, remove one

is outlaw's bte buff intentional
if it shouldnt be used anymore
rogue has had a very big sweep on class abilities not interacting with anything other than class abilities
removing a spell flag sounds insanely cooked
im sure there's a lot of spaghetti code for that kind of thing
so stuff like ghostly strike isnt a trinket amp, subs shadow damage doesnt improve trinkets (unless they fucked it up again) etc.
considering that every time they touch subterfuge/stealth, 75 things break
idk, if theres 2 similar ones, one should never be used again, you just check which spells still use the other one, change those to the new one, and delete old one
I don't think ripping an entire spell flag out of the game
like
is a good idea
Why do casual players struggle with Sub? I found Assa takes more brain space to optimize.
none of the cooldowns line up at all
it's a massive headache
CD management nightmare
assa is actually just full brain off press cooldowns on cooldown and maintain anything that has a duration
super easy
super slow
super chill
I've been surprised at the amount of people who don't line up CDs on assa actually
be like that
Have helped out a lot of people the past few days, a few of which are just full sending shiv on CD without thinking
yepge
dust trickster sub would explode a cavemans brain
For me I always forget to wait for Vanish to send DM. =[
What build are people running for 9+ keys atm? Still bleed build with SD?
hybrid
it does
the deathstalker talent that buffs shadow damage after your cds end
That's what I play, I found it not to be too bad once you get the logic of it.
I'd be surprised to see bleed builds higher than like 6/7
i mean you can see it in other specs
unholy vs frost dk
frost you press 1-2 buttons
big number on screen
ungabunga
people that naturally look into things won't struggle super hard with it
but most people tend to either overcook or press whatever looks pretty
i swear there's no inbetween
well its not supposed to
the goal is always
honestly i didnt know that slayer talent even buffed their external damage
class spell-school or global amps are only supposed to affect class abilities
Is there a link to the hybrid build?
but they keep messing it up

dunno
Use AP for keys 8 and higher
This tier has been so chill for what to run talent wise honestly
The only thing I've had to think about is ovinax so far
outside of that I just took the builds whispyr has on wowhead for DS ST and DS M+ and haven't had to do anything outside of adding tricks
because whispyr hates tricks

ngl
i dont feel the need for tricks on sin as much
if i dont have tricks on outlaw im fr in danger
as true as that is it's the muscle memory and no feedback from pressing my tricks button that trips me up
It might be for some reason
if I'm spamming it and I'm not talented into it I get upset
Assa doesn't generate a lot of threat quickly
and by the time it matters everything is agrod onto the right target
which is either ur warrior or tank

odynss furyyyy
comlpains about aggro
nah you dont hit real odyns until after spin
you proc one off the avatar
oop
did it work?
yes
that's cool
twink gearsets are so wild to me
i think it's hilarious whenever a timewalking event happens and there's that one guy who has prepared his whole wow life for it
yeah
dhs literally play havoc as tank
because vengeance borrowed power sucks
allegedly
Casual players can understand it, my opinion is that sub's threshold for understanding the very basics of what it is has a much higher floor than assa
fun police nerfed the shit out of alot of direct damage procs
I think you could easily just look at assa's kit and get pretty quickly what the general idea is
it's like arms warrior
For sub, I don't think you can just "look" at it and understand how to play
That doesn't mean that once you get beyond that threshold it's crazy hard, it's not
but getting to that place of understanding takes much more
sub always has the bigget learning curve
even when i only take a 1-2 tier break from it
cant imagine someone who doesnt even know the core of the spec
Sub always feels like my comfort spec baseline
since like SL s2
just love spinning
I love it now
It just took time bashing my head against it for a while before it clicked
a process that wasn't necessary on assa
It's a lot more complex than most specs
Assa is slow paced, you can chill with decision making
Yeah I don’t know how to learn
but sub doesn't just play itself
I think having that curve is a good thing for the game, I just think that the current state of things has sub a bit too tough to learn
I think more could be done to make sub more approachable to new players
warcraft logs ST boss, cast > timeline, target dummy spam :3
once you know the order to press the things you can look at the reasons why
overcomplicating it and trying to figure it out for yourself is
difficult xd
How important is serrated bone spike on ST?
it's a fair bit of damage
like nearly 3% on its own
- the extra lethal dose stack
and the extra cp
it's quite good
!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
Anyone know of some good Plater frames for Sin Rogue since a lot of stuff to keep track of with pandemics and what not?

does our 2 set effect buff our spatter? @balmy condor
it buffs your poisons, which themselve spatter
but it doesn't double dip obviously
caustic is a residual, residuals never have direct buffs
np
which of the embellishments are best to use? im really unsure veen after reading the guides
!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
is this a good item? just got it in a delve
it's okay if you don't have anything better
but should ideally get replaced fairly quick(wick)
yeah
except adding "player" as a variable to the API calls I'm making
should technically work like own only in wa
except it doesn't
and I'm mad
is there a st talent tree that's strong yesterday in nthe heroic raid my damage was a joke ...
but in mythic+ am a god

I know you can specify auras like "Caustic Spatter_player"
but that's about as far as my plater knowledge goes
Just without knowing the plater stuff, all I can say is aggressively debug, DevTool if you have to, you can even use DevTool to explore Plater's tables and structures for what's passed to you

I was doing that
I underexagerated a bit, I have written a script before, I made something for classic to change the color of enemy nameplates to be different if they are targetting my hunter pet
do we use any embelishment on the omen crafted dagger?
which took some fiddling
you can put ascension on it
is it gonna be stronger than getting the wrist/waist embelishments? for m+
You just trying to check whether a plate has your own debuff whispyr? cause you just need to append _player to the end of the spell name string or id
no
I'll try that
Like I use Plater.UnitHasAura(unitFrame, "Caustic Spatter_player")
@glacial crypt @novel star thanks, shit makes more sense now
big dam
now go and do that in heroic raid
we all drop that number in dung/ mythic+
assa sucks in raid though
nah i gained like 300k dps from not being stupid on openers
oh so its a class thing i knew it
cuz i am doing everyhting perfect
my damage was so bad in heroic
👍
like doing what
caustic range/spreading bleeds better on opener
min/maxing the deathmark from previous pack
was a bit unsure on the prio in getting out bleeds vs using deathmark stack
what are the recommended embellishes for M+ only ?
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

If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+
next week is spark 3
k, i guerss i can craft weap w/o embellish this week? i'm guessing going from 619-> 636
is better than 636 w/ embellish, if my belt is 610
Which Chad here has the highest io so far?
casual rn
Suffering because you couldn't run keys or becuase you ran keys?

both
and then suffering
because while I love quazii
trying to find a fucking color scheme
for fuchsia and aqua
is insanely hard

Does trick of the trades still work in delves?
they're like ALMOST triadic
yes
but they're just far enough apart from triadic that things are not working out
how much dps increase is the 4p bonus ?
orange might looks like ass tho
liek 1 % or something
not good
yeah but then I have to recolor all of quazii's shit
Do you guys run brann as healer or dps
cause he uses aqua and fuchsia built in
damn
I run him healer but he doesn't really do much either way
man you really feel that caustic activating from the center of the target on heroic rashahan and ovi'nax 
idk how to do aoe damage on these
i run him healer if im with other dps in party, dps if solo
I think realistically I have to bite the bullet and just recolor everything to match a coherent color scheme
but I really don't want to do that
dont do it
@balmy condor how flexible is bone spike in single target?
I couldn't get used to quazii stuff
I like the caster mobs being highlighted but having to find indicators for caustic and mark that don't clash is proving difficult
I think he means how flexible the talent choice is? maybe?
Right, but the dot is so small and it's one combo point for an entire fight, it doesn't stack does it?
it does not
I thing Naowh's plater has that. or at least recolors them. you just have to get used to green and red aggro colors being flip flopped 
This is likely a dumb question, but does the order in which you apply your lethals matter?
Does it proc lethal dose?
no
dragon tempered is 30% global reduction
The bone spike I mean
yes
Ah so it's also flat more damage damn

that's like
not even the big gain
of the ability
why is that the thing that convinces you
Are you revamping your player for m+ mobs and stuff?
I noticed mark/caustic colors clashing but quazii's color scheme is actual aids to built on as a base
Goin fast
So I might be cooked but
whats the point of vanishing as deathstalker without improved garrote?
when you already have dn
there isn't currently
!vanish
Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:
- Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
- Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied
As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.
it should, yes
imp gar is like 3%, vanish->ambush with no imp gar is like 1%
Oh but due to that bug imp garrote is still better for now
marginally better for some
sim angle?
oh
cause it's really dumb
What if Imp garrote is delete
guys has anyone noticed that u can't find any keys outside of mist, SoB and NW if you try to filter by key level? See picture below:
it's a pretty painful issue on sub
is there a fix for this?
gonna be honest
didn't realize there was an in game filter
I've just used pgf for like 2 expacs
so did i, but even with pgf it seems like you cant filter by key level and still find keys anymore??
i just dont get it
dirving me mad
worked fine for me
Yep
In normal circumstances of no imp garrote ds its basically just to have the benefits of mark going while still having not consumed DN
Looking for a range doesn't work for me either.
Just looking for a specific number works though.
Vesperal’s plater has different colours from Quazii and the colours are globally changeable by pressing shift when changing a mobs colour. Maybe that global colour change also now works for Quazii?
yeah and making dn consume a stack
seems hella small
oh wtf i just realized that keys show up if instead of writing "8-9" like you used to, you just write 9
for a 2min cd
something funky going on
