Dropping iron wire legit the dumbest fucking thing you could do

#

Just looking at #1

#

Getting all the globals of subs cds seemed pretty challenging for a few of the sets

#

I see 46% envenom crit

Some of that is dn

But

Seems a touch high

daring hamlet

#

hehe 😛

#

"nerfed"

daring hamlet
#

xD

balmy condor
#

That’s with the subterfuge change in mind as well

#

So you get 12 seconds of iron wire with 2/2 subt

#

Instead of 6

raven egret
#

^^^^

misty kernel
#

its a buff

#

not a nerf

#

-.-

raven egret
#

which is fckin hilarious

haughty flicker
#

theres no way that doesnt get nerfed again surely

real granite
haughty flicker
#

not that im gonna complain

balmy condor
#

Yeah the utility buff on iron wire + subt in 11.0.5

#

Is bonkers

raven egret
#

but I mean

#

Subterfuge 😦

real granite
balmy condor
#

If you’re ever running keys high enough to make use of the utility

#

It’s crazy

real granite
#

12 fucking seconds

haughty flicker
#

honestly i wonder what pulls could be done

#

with two vanish charges

misty kernel
#

playing subterfuge now is practice for next patch

haughty flicker
#

24 seconds of iron wire

raven egret
#

we got to give up something to go Subterfuge, and I dread that day

misty kernel
daring hamlet
#

the only issue i have, mostly cause i just swapped to assa this week is I lose track of my mark target soooo much when I'm actually tryna be a good control boy

raven egret
balmy condor
balmy condor
#

Big buff imo

daring hamlet
neat pier
#

so the idea is using vanishes and timing to shut down enemy cast and enemy enrage/ability windows with the damage negation of iron wire?

balmy condor
neat pier
#

also ,is it ever worth it being a gentleman and shivving an enrage off a scary mob, or just pump away always, not my problem

balmy condor
#

That’s how I set up my stuff

cunning needle
#

and you cast garrotes on pull

balmy condor
#

If the enrage is risking your tank

#

You hold shiv forever to get it

#

Like fuck your kingsbane

#

If group wipes

#

Key bricks

neat pier
#

oke

#

sad day !

dropping people to their deaths

raven egret

STraight to gulag!

misty kernel
#

ltrly

daring hamlet
#

if we were mages and there were actually people in the game that played this class, we coudl mobilize to make more noise and get grim nerfed to the ground to make farming easier

#

it has to be the most dead class in the entire game lol like i enjoy it but i swear nobody plays this shit

cunning needle
#

?????

#

bro rogues are one of the least played classes in the game

#

we are 2nd to evokers

#

and that came out last expansion

daring hamlet
#

why are you sending a "??????" at me

#

were literally agreeing

cunning needle

wait are we

misty kernel

@cunning needle

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGS

raven egret
cunning needle
#

tbh im surprised DKs are that high

#

i suppose they are meta

raven egret
#

Evokers makes sense they brand new

cunning needle
#

monks being higher than rogues is always so wild

quartz cloak
#

Least played but best class discord

cunning needle
#

given how shit a spot they've been in for ages

#

quality not quantity

wise plume
#

Do I even want to attempt a +10 wake before reset?

haughty flicker
#

evokers will stay low as long as they have to perma be an ugly ass dragon

cunning needle
#

save 3 spears for last boss

haughty flicker
#

maybe they overtake rogue but idk about that

cunning needle
#

save all cds

#

and blast it

either you +2 it or it +2's you

ww must be the most mistreated spec ever, they have been horseshit since legion

cunning needle
#

except DF s1

#

wait was it s1 or s2

#

wait it was SL s1

#

nvm im stupid

haughty flicker
#

ww has had some times to shine

#

but not very often

real granite
#

i still remember the karma inside rotation from bfa

#

nightmares material

wise plume
#

WW in S1 DF was bonkers

#

iirc

cunning needle
#

yeah i know it was meta one of the seasons

#

because my FOTM mate played it

wise plume
#

p sure it was s1

timber meadow
#

they've had some downbad times

wise plume
#

i remember getting a beautiful opener on the tree boss room in like an 18+ academy, and I just watched a WW skyrocket

#

shit had me humbled

haughty flicker
#

theyve definitely had it rough overall

real granite
#

and dont even mention monk healer

tawdry sedge
#

Is it okay to envenom with less than 5 combo points, after you have applied a rupture just to maintain the envenom buff, assuming your next envenom will be cast at 6+ combo points

rotund oak
#

dont think so no,we finish always on 5+

haughty flicker
#

sometimes i wonder about niche scenarios like that

tawdry sedge
#

In theory what i suggest is definetely wrong

#

but in practice it seems right to not drop the buff

haughty flicker
#

like for example, on adds that you know are going to die relatively fast, but you still want to prio and have spatter on, could it be better to send a low cp rupture just so you can get spatter going

tawdry sedge
#

There is no real energy/combo point waste, as i said you have enough energy to rebuild a full combo envenom in time, it is just that the buff currently is running below 1 sec

haughty flicker
#

like the adds on bloodbound

tawdry sedge
#

I do like 2 shuriken storms and 2 ruptures on those adds

waxen oyster
#

exile playing sin

tawdry sedge
#

then a CT if specced and start nuking the main guy

waxen oyster
#

what the

tawdry sedge
#

who is the exile?

haughty flicker
#

ye exile swaps spec every boss at least once

#

man of the people

#

playing both sides

rotund oak
tawdry sedge
#

is he streaming?

haughty flicker
#

probably

subtle tundra
#

I was thinking about it, sub really good for dmg Amp, assa good at the end cause you get 2t execute

rotund oak
#

yes he is,its Liquid's rogue

#

RWF

haughty flicker
#

the execute has to be big yeah

#

with them holding damage in intermission for cds it probably lines up better for sin too

rotund oak
tawdry sedge
#

thanks but i feel like watching some titty streamer rn xd

subtle tundra
#

But I do hate the mark gameplay on assa when it's 2t and have to swap targets around

tawdry sedge
#

wait, if you hate in 2t, then what about 4+? xd

subtle tundra
#

I'm talking about silken court specifically

#

And yes I hate the mark gameplay

#

But sometimes more than others

haughty flicker
#

on court you have to keep swapping for damage amps and stuff

#

so yeah definitely sounds annoying

#

max is getting tilted

#

damn

tawdry sedge
#

mythic court looks "intense"

subtle tundra
#

Ofc and it should be

slate crown
#

Max just now "I'm gonna blow up"

haughty flicker
#

yeah hes mad as fuck

#

he was dead silent for like 2m straight earlier

#

needs to spin

tawdry sedge
#

Exile has been playin assa for the whole race? Outlaw or sub seem much better choices at least for court

sudden brook

They really want that vault loot

Is everyone in liquid at the facility? Or is it just some of them

haughty flicker

afaik they all flew in

If we open from stealth with Ambush -> Garrote. Will Iron Wire trigger? I assume no

rotund oak
#

exile doesnt seem like he's there

#

but idk

slate crown
#

Yeah exile's lighting makes it seem like he's somewhere else

#

Was just curious

raven egret
#

exile looks like he in his basement getting baked XD

haughty flicker
#

exile does look like hes in a closet

rotund oak

#

Rogue behavior

haughty flicker
#

he has a liquid shirt on

so he's there in spirit

they are dying on the 2nd charge

would be good if they kill this boss tonight but idk if it'll happen

imagine chance at mythic spymasters in vault though

#

i like the trend of putting defensives/pots around healthbar

#

i need to do that on mine

rotund oak
#

if it works for him its fine,idk Shrugeg

#

its just limiting to what u can see around ur character

balmy condor
obtuse ruin
#

is there a way for caustic spatter/deathmark wa always showing (in combat) when active not just when im targetting the one with the debuff?

slate crown
haughty flicker
#

holy based

coral ibex
#

i just want to make sure i'm understanding pooling - this means pressing literally nothing to build up energy while at 5cp, right?

haughty flicker
#

you make sure to strafe while doing it so you regen faster

coral ibex
#

like, how i played classic assa?

rotund oak
haughty flicker
#

a/d spam is a proven dps boost

coral ibex

well yea obviously never stop adad spam

i fucking love pooling

#

thanks!

haughty flicker
#

i havent actually watched exiles stream during a pull until now

#

the sad note when a tank dies goes hard

coral ibex
#

i miss out on the twitch streams bc youtube premium is op

#

usually watching there

haughty flicker
#

adblock even more op

coral ibex
#

which one works? i always get the 90 second ad intro

haughty flicker
#

i use ublock

#

doesnt work on twitch for me but works always on youtube

coral ibex
#

ooo i was talking about twitch specifically but thank you o7

slate crown
#

You can cheese twitch adds with Picture in Picture on the twitch mini player on the corner

#

Vid quality is shit but you can flip on the audio and still see what’s happening

haughty flicker
#

oh yeah i havent watched twitch in a while so havent tried getting around ads

balmy condor
coral ibex
#

its so funny the pace difference in play between outlaw and assa

#

when im on outlaw im beating the fuck out of my keyboard to get my gcds in subterfuge

#

meanwhile literally can tab out while pooling for envenom

merry onyx
#

so i am trying to go back to sin after years of being a sub rogue, am i just trying to go to fast with ability usage and keeping myself energy starved in keys or am i likely letting to many bleeds drop and losing energy regen, its been awhile and it appears me as sub has been blacklisted for pug keys

coral ibex
#

exile is a QERTF main button user too lets gooooo

jade carbon
#

How close adds must to be the boss to proc caustic spatter dmg? On rashanan mythic i got 0 dmg from caustic spatter, does it depend on the position of the adds relative to the boss? Finally i need to switch to st to improve my dmg

subtle tundra
#

I've had my wrist hurt from m+ as assa this week

haughty flicker
#

rashanan is cursed for spatter

#

adds basically have to be under her to get hit

#

bc center of hitbox is so far away

balmy condor

I'm so despairge, i thought i didn't need a WA for deathstalker, dropped it on 2 bosses yday 🤡

i only move with mouse if i need to hit some cursed bind

is it a bug that the ascension affix in M+, when you use blind it only hits one instead of multiple like the talent says it should

balmy condor
#

Hit the add not the orb

coral ibex
#

i always peep control binds after hearing jpc only moves with strafe on zx and forward by holding mouse buttons

slate crown
# obtuse ruin Yes!

You may need to fuss with it a bit more but that’s the core of the change

jpc is not a human being though

he is something else entirely

padding damage after the wipe

hes just like me fr

rotund oak
#

yeah he has alot of good ''characteristics'' that fit at playing rogue

#

perception,speed and knowledgable

#

👌

haughty flicker
#

wait i have none of those

#

i guess hes not like me after all

rotund oak
#

idk man,im oldge

#

i just see stuff ik there are right 😅

lethal mortar

its joever

rotund oak
coral ibex
#

it just means buffs will come Copege

lethal mortar
#

being a triple dps class and not one of your specs is in the top half of dps is crazy

sterile violet
#

i said in retail chat rogue assassination needs buff on ST and they said skill issue kushlol is participating in world first and he's the best rogue / rogue is doing fine in damage its insane

#

now that am looking at this i know am right best class in the game buff the st ffs

lethal mortar
#

shoulda just played dk or shaman like everyone told us to

plucky silo
#

you're going to see at least one rogue for atrophic poison always. show me that they're bringing two and that's a point for it being a decent class

sterile violet
#

i have a frost dk it does insane damage but it gets really really boring trust me

lethal mortar
#

you know whats also boring

#

sitting in town not getting invited to shit

runic hinge
#

I mean we're fine on boss damage

sterile violet
#

yep i feel u i got in somehow in heroic beat the first 6 bosses then i got kicked cuz low damage lol it is what it is

#

it was heroic

#

like i was doing 126 mill - 134 meanwhile fury was 400+ million with the hunter i would kick me 2

coral ibex
#

gotta learn how to pad in pugs too

#

do some degen shit

sterile violet
#

in mythic plus i drop billions in the raid am nothing

#

Is Jpc not playing in Liquid anymore in Rwf or am I tripping

runic hinge
#

He's out this tier

balmy condor
#

He’s taking a break yeah

drifting basin
#

how come the void reapers contract is simming so well? on par with same ilvl arakara trinket? hmmge

runic hinge
#

better than arakara for me

#

good trinket tbh

lethal mortar
#

imagine not just having every trinket

runic hinge
balmy condor
#

Early season flat damage trinkets

#

A classic

runic hinge
#

I'm keeping it for my outlaw arc

lethal mortar
#

shoulda just stayed outlaw despairge

coral ibex
#

damn they were so close to ripping that boss

brisk plank
#

Does anyone have info of how much of a dawnthread uptime we usually have in m+ runs? Im simming 2x dawn vs ascension+writhing and only if i have 85%+ uptime it makes sense to go for 2x dawn for me so i really dont know what to pick, i usually only play m+

balmy condor
#

Depending on the raid I’ve seen 80% fairly regularly tbh

#

So 85% I think is completely reasonable

#

Maybe even a bit conservative

lethal mortar
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
brisk plank
#

Worth going for 2x dawn then? As said i mostly do m+ but I guess even in raid it wouldnt make THAT big of a diff

willow cloud
#

omg how do i not suck on mythic ulgrax, it seems like the soaks and boss going away were designed to fuck our 2 mins?

drifting basin
golden loom
#

we get our 3rd spark of omens tomorrow right? is there anything to craft after wrists/belt/dagger?

drifting basin
#

and its def lower in raid

drifting basin
#

unless you're doing something thats on farm

balmy condor
#

I checked like a dozen logs

#

I saw some feral logs at like 85% in raid

#

Dawnthread cranking

drifting basin
#

that's a crank indeed

#

but dont ferals have a lot of self-heal this expansion?

brisk plank
balmy condor
royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Ascension is kinda giga cringe if you’re not perma in combat

royal lantern
drifting basin
#

i mained feral last season and you have a lot of agency with blue silken lining as a feral. During convoke windows you could just pop a heal on yourself and then click convoke

#

as a rogue i feel like we dont really have that kind of agency

#

but idk

balmy condor
#

The buff lasts 15s and refreshes every 8 seconds, If you finish a pack it resets the 8 second counter

drifting basin
balmy condor
#

So like say you get a tick at the end of the pack

royal lantern
#

mate, the way wow works you are not low hp all the time lol

balmy condor
#

It refreshes

#

To 15

#

Then 5 seconds later you drop combat

royal lantern
#

its full hp->dmg event->heal->full hp

or you die

balmy condor
#

Buff has 10 seconds

drifting basin
turbid oasis
#

!plater

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

If you don’t get into combat within 2 seconds your entire ascension buff just shits itself

#

Cause it takes 8 seconds to get a stack

drifting basin
#

but we'll see. Haven't stepped foot inside mythic yet, so don't know how it will be

brisk plank
drifting basin
#

for example, this guy has 71% uptime

#

and its just the first log i found with dawnthread lining in mythic

#

he also drops the buff from 2:14 to 2:20, meaning that he drops it during his cooldowns. Obviously its still good, but its a LIL SUS

shut owl
#

You can sim it at variable levels of uptime for comparison. I imagine it's probably worth at 70%

drifting basin
#

depends on how much ascension is oversimming (in m+) due to whispyr's explanation above. But in a 5 min fight ascension, is like 2% better at 70% uptime

just saw the logs for sin, damn lol.. who knows maybe they buff us 😄

steel ridge
#

assassination is sandbagging hard on rashanan, cause caustic spatter doesnt hit shit

dire ivy
#

yea and that one sub probably got to pad a bit

steel ridge
#

rashanan is per default a sin boss, because 60% of the fight is in our execute window

sullen phoenix
zealous wolf
#

is it worth it to rupture with 7cp?

steel ridge
#

you rupture in pandemic, at whatever 5-7 cp you happen to have at that moment, dont overthink it

zealous wolf
#

yy, im just thinking if its a wast with 7

steel ridge
#

why would it be a waste?

#

obviously you dont rupture at 7 cp when you have darkest night up

#

that would be int

zealous wolf
#

i understand now its not 🙂

#

thank you

#

do you mutilate again at 5cp for envenoms?

#

for higer poison bomb chance?

steel ridge
#

no

zealous wolf
#

i mean to get 7 cp

#

kk

steel ridge
#

only for darkest night

normal mist
#

We finish at 5+ and only force 7 to proc the darkest night buff asap (or if we don't land on an anima charged CP (echoing reprimand))

sullen phoenix
#

is it good idea to auto attack and track envenom to recover for energy?

steel ridge
#

its a bad idea to stop auto attacking

normal mist
#

Unless you literally can't be @ the boss

sullen phoenix
#

got it, but maybe i didnt say good

#

what i meant

normal mist
#

!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
sullen phoenix
#

is it ok to wait for envenom buff to drop at like 2 sec then refresh it

steel ridge
#

oh i know exactly what you mean

steel ridge
#

the energy economy kinda forces you to do wait a bit and not mash buttons

sullen phoenix
#

got it now, damn makes things even harder to track 😄

#

but i get it, ty 🙂

normal mist
#

It's quite the opposite

#

You spend time not really doing anything

#

this

#

steel ridge
#

you are just grooving along, watching the scenery and slamming huge envenoms if you let amp poison ramp up

sullen phoenix
#

i know but i got lost in all bleed,buff stuff, i guess i just need more time to get used to it

normal mist
#

There's a lot of free time for us to check buffs and debuffs

steel ridge
#

its actually a dps loss to just spam and run dry

!wax

prisma monolithBOT

Bubbling Wax (when it works) is roughly on par with whetstones and are free. Some caveats:

  • MANY BUGS YEP
  • Doesn't stack (only apply to one weapon)
  • Sometimes just won't work in offhand (apply it to your left slot, whetstone on the right slot)
  • If you die, wax instantly stops working and you have to unequip your dagger and re-equip
  • Some hitbox weirdness because it's an AoE effect and it won't actually hit adds, especially on larger bosses
  • 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"

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

alright for my last but biggest dummy questions so far - have 7 pts, most tooltips say 1-6.. does the 7th do nothing, or its just the flat 5% bonus the talent infers to applying?

do we ever care for 7 (unless animacharged) other than proccing Darkest Night? hence guides suggesting 5+? finally, is 5+ = more than 5, or 5 OR MORE

apologies for big 1head inquiries

balmy condor
#

no

#

the tooltip ran out of room

sinful elk
balmy condor

I mean idk

can we get a proper aoe cc to remove orbs?

balmy condor

but the 7th cp works fine

balmy condor

make Blind work as intended maybe?

balmy condor

they should remove all tooltips from the game

orchid cedar

it doesn't if you target an orb

balmy condor
#

well yeh

dire ivy
sinful elk
#

So does 5+ mean I'm mutilating when at 5 points, or 5+ is inclusive and im envenoming/rupturing at 5

balmy condor

that's how that mechanic works to be fair

they copy pasted the razageth orbs

and they function the same way

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 what is putting me out of stealth in mists maze? didnt play rogue when mists was current last time

spare nimbus
#

What should my m+ stats look like? Like for example 15% haste 20% mastery, 10% crit etc

dire ivy
#

gotcha

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

its smart so you waste 1 application if you cast it on the same target

I got this all wrong

echo fox
#

If u wanna optimize then tab target

glacial stump
#

So i dont need to freak out trying to spread rupture clicking on shit got damn

echo fox
#

if u don´t care about it just spread them by using ur prio target

glacial stump
#

Just tab to 1 other tho without rupture and that would be 5?

#

Rupture > tab > rupture ?

echo fox
#

The thing is that if u spam into the same tar u are losing one application

glacial stump
#

yhyh

echo fox
#

So the optimal way is to tab

#

But tbf "who cares" xD

dire ivy
#

yea if you tab one without you get 6 out of it. so if target count is less then 6 you dont even care

Shit dies too quick in these keys im in anyways

Ive legit been clicking unruptured shit and causing unnecessary stress

also is it a dps loss to fan of knives with clear the witness up in kb window ST?

Is there a reason people are taking improved garrotte in pure single target fights even though the best single target builds say to take dashing scoundrel instead? I checked myself and I simmed higher with dashing scoundrel, but regardless improved garrote is more popular.

bubbling wax still bugged?

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

Also a lot of people are taking improved garrote

i would say outlaw probably hardest and sub/sin behind that but i guess its different for different people

which is like based on if ur comp has enough aoe dam or not
