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

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 This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec.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

Please DO NOT announce to the server when You are going to :3 in #1080572530554835072 .This has been a reoccurring issue, and I'm not sure why some people have such under developed social skills that they think that a server full of mostly male strangers would need to know that. No one is going to be impressed and give you a high five (especially considering what emotes you've been using). I don't want to add this to the rules, since it would be embarrassing for new users to see that we have a problem with this, but it is going to be enforced as a rule from now on.

Hey, I havent found any exact numbers regarding energy pooling, some guide I watched told me to wait (not cast envenom at all) to 180 energy if I end up being low on energy before starting chaining envenoms
However, outside of my KB burst window, should I instead maybe start being more conservative and waiting with envenom at say 100 energy or similar, so I have 100% uptime?

marble hemlock
#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

what's that website that shows all the popular specs per boss with log data again? shows it in tier list format

got skardyns from a +5

#

i assume i max it out right?

frail geyser

what did zerocool mean about double vanish? can someone share an example build pls 😄

thorn crater
#

or should i wait for tomorrow to see if i get the hero version of it?

dusty crescent
#

I'll donate to charity today if I get a skardyns

balmy vapor
#

Do I interpret the pooling tips to hover just under 50%? or at what energy level do we usually start waiting before pressing envenom? (Deathstalker)

digital venture
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
balmy vapor
#

hovering around 50% would perhaps be smart so we always have energy when KB comes up

thorn crater
#

no but for real

#

do i max it? cause it takes away from other things i can raise from hero level

hoary zodiac
#

I heard the best combo is contract from raid with the knife trinket from delves, there’s a lot of trinkets to play with when it comes to assass so maybe just leave it for now and see what comes up going forward

If you have a trinket that you're not likely to upgrade go ahead and send it to 623

BiS lists are not helpful towards gearing yourself. In order for BiS items to truly be BiS, all items in the list have to be obtained at that level exactly, or else it doesn't make sense. Missing a socket for example would shift your stats slightly. You should always compare your gear through top gear or droptimizer instead.

Pre-raid or Pre-season BiS is especially not helpful, and we do not have any of them. These are absolute meaningless bait for gear that you will be replacing the moment the season comes out. Use Top Gear/Droptimizer to compare against your character

tbh you can play double vanish if you're pugging, because if you end up afking tricksing on pull, and then pull threat at the bottom of KB you'll have a solution. it's two-pronged - not only will you be able to drop aggro and blanket silence all the kicks people are about to miss, your kb will do less dmg making it harder to pull off the tank

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

it's "no venomous wounds" but really i was just making a point about how blizzard should really make some of these things unskippable in the tree because you could have such a bad experience for no reason if you're new to the game etc

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

i miss bfa sin, but probably less for game design and more because i was less awful at the video game KEKW

novel star
#

if neither of these things are true (ur at like 85% energy and not running sanguine) then yes even then you play for uptime and use the energy later

#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

but yeah idk

env uptime still mattered in legion

then just swap rings for haste on assa or smth

thorn fjord
#

You got a lot of wiggle room with stats on sin

#

!stats

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

Anyone know what addons or weakauras there are for rotations? I do decent damage as Assassin Rogue in M+ but I need improvement for single target build/rotation for raiding. I don't want one that makes skills on action bar flash as I am never looking there.

hey boys, what's the most optimal M+ build? I'm seeing a few differing ones, wondering if there's a clear winner

dense cloud
#

!craft

prisma monolithBOT
#

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
