Well thats the point, that youre not supposed to
Stop pooling if you go above, obv only relevant if you have sanguine specced, otherwise ignore 50%
!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.
:(
I seeee. OK thank you!
would we rather play spy-glass or sacbrood in m+
is it the play to drop sanguine on ovi? ain't no way this amount of damage is worth a talent point, over 35 wipes
you're playing bleeds on ovi?
he has everything
it combined ovi tree with m+????
teach me your ways
I figured out what happened
i played m+ build for 1 pull after break bc we were considering farming boes instead of pulling the boss
this is the play
reckon it's even an angle to try and drop blindside? it feels v minor
probably not
we're gonna try 3 tanking / warr going away for like 3 nights
im gonna try OL to see if we can do more add dps
but idk, feels kinda cursed all round
around what key rank do you start using the hybrid build?
3 or 4
no I just answered with a lie
bleed does equal aoe, less single target
it's legit just cheese for sudden demise damage
pointless once mobs live more than like 10 seconds
ok
I would embrace you in a delve
Going to have to fight brann for that
lmfaoooo
and what ranks do you start using the cleave m+ build ?
Who plays cleave

@balmy condor didnt you only put cleave build on wowhead because some people would not stop asking you about it
because they saw a streamer use it
yep
so not really recommended unless your group really wants you to
I think the blurb even says it's incredibly niche and generally not recommended

I spend the entire blurb talking shit about it basically
!up
but I think honestly I just delete bleed and cleave
and deal with people asking me where they went
Sometimes I wonder why dh guide creators bother putting "no mover" builds.
Every havoc main I talk to hates that shit

stonevault hurts so much with tyrannical 😦
I don't understand wowhead's required guide format.
Why do you even have to bother including the option for meme talents
that have 0% pickrate
I mean technically you don't HAVE TO
I liked bleed a lot just purely as an open world leveling build
but the guide is technically aimed at like heroic andys
Does wowhead not mandate writers to include the option?
and as soon as I hit 80 I was done with it
I'm not sure if they mandate it for demon hunter as an edge case
but if I wanted to, I could trim the entire guide down to 1 raid build 1 m+ build
and just call it a day
Most wowhead class guides I see have dropdowns for talents that never get taken.
i.e toggles
yeah
if people want a no mover guide why wouldnt wowhead wnat the guide to exist i guess. traffic is good
that's for completeness sake
I wonder who its aimed at
I'm personally trying my best to avoid the togglers at all cost
if I can use the togglers less, I will
people who look up "how to play DH without momentum" or whaver its ccalled
it is, but damn me if 90% of the burger shops i go to have a vegetarian option
I feel people cling onto old designs
like momentum hasnt been the dh standard for years
and rtb for outlaw isnt giga rng like its first iterations
I mean wowhead is playing the game that every other page on the internet is playing
clicks = money
||Partially the reason why I had to move over to the in-house timeline tool for openers as well, my png openers are not able to be tokenized by search engines||
Gamers, does it matter what hand we have the crafted wep w/ embellishment equiped in?
no
didnt think so ty
feel like I just had ptsd from the past, cant remember when it was though
if stuff is dying fast in aoe is it even worth using tempest or just pump with caustic?
same with spreading rupture/garrote twice
kek
@subtle tundra hows princess
I’m coming back from a long break and practicing my opener/rotation on aoe dummies (going well overall). But, when I manually refresh ruptures, I lose a ton of dps, more than I do when I just plug ahead with caustic and CT. I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but thought I’d risk public execution and ask the hive mind here.😂
Dog aren’t you married
You can’t just call someone else princess
no im not married
zoomers arent married anyways
the average girl just cant find a decent man in his early 20s with atleast 250k yearly income anymore
(jk, tho I'm glad I'm not around that age in the current time)

I found my kitten dw

Yeah ur old as fuck
No prenerf kill here for us
Will it be worth keeping a 610 dagger for wax?
What
guys weird question, anyone has a plater which manages to put friendly names above heads as class color?
wax wasnt even better
got the names but cant get class color to work

You’re a boomer with a cat pfp

emergency raid tonight surely worm deadge
I got called a kitten by a method hunter
obviously I need a kitten pic
Deserved
its fine, I stomped him on the charts
and kittened him back later
as he failed the stitch hook
why does blindside proc goes away if i do mutilate and not ambush?
It auto swaps
You cant mutilate with blindside up
whaat so i only have to ambush on stealth and after vanish?
i didnt notice since the icon never changed
if u did not kill worm prenerf turn in ur daggers immediately
which nerf
pls i need to know what to do with my daggers
worm hp got nerfed by 15%
they don't have wowhead in the UK
oh well nexus princess will be a 50 pull fight instead of 300 wednesday i guess

hope we kill today before nerfs
the ones this week or last week
the ones from 20 min ago
phew im safe
is the "accidental" recraft thing still working?
delete that
you need to make an intellect dagger
mods tie him up
GTAB

worm nerf??
it dropped finally
always deadly, if you spec amp poison and dragon tempered blade then you take amp too
!poison
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
warblaund
what is the haste cap
I'm (smooching) comparing my raid performance to anotehr assa rogue just now (i'm fatebound he's deathstalker) and we're both kinda lost why is env deals 2x my dmg, any ideas waht I might be doing wrong?
I pool before kb window, use env at 5+cp, overlap env during the end of the duration to get the damage bonus, etc.
edit:" my garrote upt is 87% idk why it shows as 12. ik it should be better but i got near death experienced a few times
none for sin
so i can basically just go full mast/crit?
!stats
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
just run highest ilvl
Any idea why Master Ass is simming so good for me? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/gcG5AqRgg9QULbjPDJHq93
Also why it was played in rwf?
oh what the hell
best guess is you dont have much crit
25%
different talents for different gear
so is one of the hero talents just better than the other or are they good for different scenarios?
kinda, but you need to consider than your envenoms come with the coinflips attached
so it could be argued that you add the vast majority of your dmg from tails / heads % gain into ur env casts when comparing to deathstalker
also fatebound has better cp generation than ds
for me I would say deathstalker is mainly ahead in aoe situations where you value prio damage
its like 15k dps. Stats seem to be kinda weird between assa.
momentum of despair + singular focus + darkest night all heavily contribute to v good prio dmg while aoeing
fatebound is a lil behind in this
Also Dawnthread not simming 80% uptime dmg loss like 0.1% w/e
weird i was behind him in st but ahead in aoe
could i just be playing fatebound wrong ? ?
note I said prio dmg
so the damage to 1 target in the middle of an aoe pack deathstalker should beat fatebound unless fatebound highrolls rng or it's a short pull (just cds)
since fatebound just does more in cds than ds
Were there any recent changes to Assasination rogue? I logged in today and my dps feels like shit. Or im just shit one of the 2

you got poisons equipped?
its so funny how often this is the answer for me personally
Yeah, I sometimes be forgetting to do poisons but im just hitting a dummy. I was bursting like, 1.5 mill on opener now im barely making it to a mill and not sure why
were you using pots before? rng crits on kingsbane / big env crits?
if ur fatebound that also has a ton of rng
Nah Im DS. But yeah, i did have one big envenom session on a dummy that let me burst for 2.2 mill but usually just typical damage was 1.5 mill then coasted down a bit. Maybe im just over thinki0ng it and just high or something
https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/character/us/malganis/choppedsushi my character for stat references. Im feeling pretty optomized
you're 604
idk if this is spoiler or not so im just gonna spoiler text it 11.5 stuff|| (do you guys think the change thay have made to assassin in 11.5 are buff or nerfs?)||
Whispyr is it worth chasing spyglass?
changes are not buffs or nerfs, that comes down to tuning, of which there is none
no
how do you deal not shit dmg on ovinaxx? I feel like the moment i break for worms or parasites i am crippling myself as DS, and FB does doody dmg
I'm just being fr
okay
I meannn optomized as bvest as I can at my ILVL ive been having mad problems getting upgrades. Im not a mythic raider anymore. But it's hardddd
ty mommy
what do you consider shit / good damage?

I can tell you how to do around 2m dps if ur like 622
Yeah, I just was basing it strictly off opener. I Miss the old visualizations on Wowhead was ezpz for me to tweak my rotation 😦
I miss it too
on heroic ovinaxx i swapped to FB because mark kept falling off, but i pulled 622k
Do you have any new videos coming out soon? looking forward to a Hiya
yeah got some in the pipe
Scwheet
dose sim take the debuff of Shadow-Binding Ritual Knife into accout?
yes
607 with 27/14/45/3 if that matters
did you manage to let mark drop off on onvinax?
hey guys, new to sin coming from sub since sub blows in m+. How often do you guys reapply bleeds on pack pulls? wondering if the spec is mainly reapplying bleeds or if one bleed splash from stealth lasts long enough to the death of the pack and i can just spam envenom
this needs to be studied
what do those numbers mean
I was talking mythic, on hc ur best bet is just try to maintain uptime + if you can line up middle-end of kingsbane with add spawns you'll blast
secondaries in order
other than that just hit the boss
oh well seems relly strong until i get myth gear then
the knife is actually a v strong trinket for its ilvl
our issue is boss damage, whiping at 3% on 3rd zone
im just sad that i gat an hero one on my dh and not on my rogue xD
Is it okay to macro trinket and potion into death mark or does it need to be cast before death mark
thats what i do xD
Why is regicide + stabber simming better than regicide + Blood Kissed? Even If they're higher ilvl than stabber it sims better. Is ascendance that hard of a carry?
im stil stuck with the candle trinekt that i gat week 1 -.- friend dont wanna run grim this week at all
embel vs no embel
Just wondering if it’s actually applying or not to the death mark bleeds
i feel that, i have a vet edict and vet sac, playing denial sim right now in lfg
do you have a log? share it and we can take a look
its dynamic
so yeah it would apply to it
not of DS, live log wasn't running until i swapped
but i can try to hunt down the livelog of FB
but why is sky so good wont we get hit by soft cap or is the cap just relly high?
stat drs dont matter

@mo
am nytingale
be gentle, havent played assassination since emerald nightmare lol
sure thing, there's a few mistakes in your opener
you have sbs talented, so you send snd with minimum cps that will be generated by that after rupture
you never double shiv
from the few kingsbanes I've seen
you tend to send it at the start, which is acceptable, but then you don't empower the 2nd half of kingsbane
also no tea casts
been having trouble with that actually, my weakaura isnt detecting it well and i'm used to using one that blasts my ears when i drop a buff
thats me standing still waiting for web dispels 😄
I have a weak aura that will make a chicken noise once shiv has less than 2s duration and kb is up if you want it, though im personally looking to upgrade that wa
other than what cev has mentioned I believe you're underusing fan of knives
we rotated to a dh and one other member doing parasites
so they kinda just vanish before i get there
any time there's notable caustic dps means there's a good number of adds up
around 1m I believe there would be 3+ targets which would make it fok territory
can i get that WA pls 🙂
that would be the worm spider spider para eggs, which i am in kick range, did they extend the range of FOK?
sorry im not trying to be obstinate i legit am used to it being slightly over immediate surroundings
squeezing this in here, fatebound assassination should be saving cold blood for doubling edge case in the opener, not sending it before deathmark
Not sure what this means
Kick is 5y, Fan of Knives is 10y
we pull spider side first
that is true but is also like 2.5% damage or something and wont fix a grey parse
for some reason
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
i put this inside luxthos
If you are in kick range, you are in fok range
idk if it works without
fok range is longer than melee
i thought kick was still melee, that was my mistake
Kick is melee range
if this makes twin fang bis im gonna be fuming, had one in vault
Melee is 5y
i guess i am highly underestimating how far melee range is
Melee does not go far
stealing that WA btw
once you hear the chicken you've got a global or so
to press shiv
the sound is slightly earlier than when you'd wanna press it but it's to give you time to react
since ur probably on gcd from mut or env during the time you'd hear it
its one less thing that i have to watch in the already not behaving visual weakaura
back in legion i had something that blasted me with airhorns if a bleed ever fell off

i appreciate the weakauras but the sound solves the problem
does "caustic spatter" not appear as a debuff?
it does
it should
I use luxthos and edit it somewhat, covers my needs
easy to make stuff glow if its within pandemic / fell off]
oh and as a curiosity question, in the online guide reprimand is listed as a 1% dps loss if you swap to cold blood, is that still accurate?
being able to see the classes in M+ LFG is single best feature added to the game in 10 years
cuz i hate reprimand to my soul
just make the switch
you can sim the difference for your char but it's not gamebreaking
it wont change any outcomes of your fights
asking to be sure because i hate adding minigames to an already overloaded class
reprimand is going in .5 anyway
it will become next x finishers after shiv act like they consumed x more combo points
Pre fix probably
ohhh before it counted for ds
maybe I guess
but reprimand was better before as well
whatever
either way it's gone in lik 50 days
i think simplifying the gameplay could help pinx get fundamentals down
I like it, I think its fun and turns a monotonous rotation into something always unique and interesting
resource based gameplay goated
I respect your opinion. I dont like it and thats also fine.
Other people can enjoy things, im a crotchety old man who wont get with the times
technically youre ahead of the times since its changing
Ye Whispyr is so stuck in what’s most optimal that he forgot to ask what’s based
And not playing a mini game you don’t enjoy in a game you pay to play is truly the 500iq play
woah woah woah
So most of this dps loss is bleed uptime and shiv misuse?
Yes Whispyr, I ate kale because of YOU
this overcloacked trinket from stonevault, its worth something and any scenario? Dont have any stats, cant see it working no even for fun

when you paint a target on your back..
?
I rolled rogue because of Whispyr and I hate it but I love it at the same time
Cuz i was worried that my trinkets being shit was a large part of it
Yeah, biggest part is deffo bleed uptime, then deathmark uses (you had 4 casts in a 8:26 fight, can get 5)
Then shiv
im ngl I don't even know what that is
Probably the boomerang
Whispyr said play sin it’s meta.
@balmy condor kinda boomerang
Some trinkets got buffed tomorrow
.5 is in november right
Cuz honestly i am excited to gain a whole global back from slice and dice
yes
Biggest thing that tilts me about broodtwister is she always runs to the damn potion the moment i set up the deathmark snapshot
And that one global is huge
Not the snapshot
does anyone have a crackhead WA that shows how many targets causti cspatter is hitting
You can have a weakaura that says how many targets Fan of Knives would hit
And they both have the same range
Except Spatter is obviously from the target, not you
Best part is you get a free keybind
Or two if you play reprimand
do you have a link to that?
would be gigs
My penis can only get so erect
I have a crackhead WA that shows how many targets you are hitting during your CD windows. Not exactly the same 
need that crack despy
Hey are people making a third crafted item? If youve made Dagger + belt, probably ring best?
we have good rings mate, try bracer
Lining is still bis embellish right
!embellish
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 made a ring
Just sim yourself and pick the highest option
I made dagger + bracer. Next will be boots
Free socket on rings isn’t even a major thing anymore
Now that you can buy jewelers sockets
Got given mythic belt so that’s pointless to make
I made boots bracer and farmed daggers like a crackhead
Anyone know the WA that tracks how juicy your kingsbane is getting?
lol
I saw zerocool had one
Notter used to have one that tracked dmg and uptimes
But ye, blizz just gave us stacks
i use this one https://wago.io/OtohaQlq-
TWW version of Notter's KB tracker Part of my rogue pack: https://wago.io/Hy9eKKV47 A tool made for practicing a
also of course, have to ask, what is the delta for dps between DS and FB
the delta...
gap
the difference in dps
yeah
is less than 2%
All depends on how lucky you are
my io is still in elo hell so M+ isnt a concern for me right now lol
DS is superior imo
Looking at you bosses with adds
honestly, if its myth track, ill be fine, first time ill get a maxed out bis trinket in vault
i tend to just open ambush on biggest mob and then spread bleeds thjen go back to biggest cause its usually the highest health and easiest to click
I like LE’s wa for this. But it only seems to work if you run his energy wa too? Just some wild coding in his pack with heaps of syncing between them I think
Btw ty @slate crown having been loving your pack
Really want to play ass / rogue over my MM, just a lot easier to do damage on the MM Lol'
yeah welcome to melee
do curse of tongues and numbing poison stack
just get your stacks consumed on the boss and DN the adds, youll get a ton more DN-buffed envenoms that way
Many of my auras explicitly don't have syncing between them. In fact the only auras that are linked like this are the Vanish icon showing garrote icon when you have imp garrote missing
And that's relatively new
otherwise everything is self contained
I removed some of the anchor settings in the pack a long while back which didn't sync functionality, just anchoring, so that shouldn't be an issue anymore (since like early season 3 of df)
Glad you like the pack
Is there a weakaura pack or something that helps signal when to interrupt important spells etc? I thought there was before but now I can’t find it
Oh. Well when I went to swap out your energy bar for whispyrs the kingsbane bar stopped loading so I thought they must be linked. Mmm not sure then
Ahh yeah
I have a tendency to butcher up packs and splice them together, just preference things
you rupture if they live long enough
just like any other situation where you would rupture
Change this dropdown to Screen/Parent instead of Select Frame, then drag it where you want.
Oh thanks heaps man
Was Mercurial Egg good for us before the incoming buffs?
no
Anyone have a weakaura to track when Thrombotic Tincture is up? ty
why the hell would you need that
it's like a 75% uptime effect with no gameplay impact and minimal damage impact
Aug
consequences of being a frawg (idk)
ahhh thats fair
So I saw x2 dawnthread is bis embellish but almost all the top rogues have gone ascendance+writhing. Is Dawnthread bait or did they just go ascend because they crafted an early weapon?
!crafting
dawnthread is good with uptime and better with full uptime (which is unrealistic in prog) and m+, ascendance doesnt require staying up 80% health, and we like any secondary so its good St
!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
Zzz
quake da goat
thank you for the replies
I hope I get a myth track spyglass tomorrow since it doesnt wanna drop 😠
Omg you finally playing?
I have 2x Dawnthread crafted on wrist/belt on the dagger craft should i still go Ascension?
Personally I wouldn't make such a change unless you're recrafting to change something else like increasing ilvl, or if you are rich and don't care about spending the gold/acuity. The options are so close together
is there an amount of time that makes it worth :3
10ish
Well i already used 2 sparks on wrist & belt with both dawnthread
I have my 3rd spark and can get 636 dagger is this the best option? if not what are my others?
If you don't have a 636 dagger, then I would craft a 636 dagger.
The embelishment choice is a separate question
You'd have to recraft both other pieces to remove one embel and spend gold on the mats/crafter/acuity fee, and on the ascension embell + writhing for the dagger if you want to make the swap.
If those costs are unimportant to you, go for it. If they are, like if you're trying to save gold, then don't.
Ain’t no way
Cloak doesnt stop queens pull ?
Ok
Like the "best" option for embellishments is so so so close together, the difference in costs is worth the consideration
for the aoe opener, do I need to tab target for rupture/garrote or will it spread to those who don't have it already on them
It will auto spread, but at reduced efficiency
if you cast on your main target, you'll re-afflict your target, and it will hit 2 extra mobs
Oh so to recraft the belt/wrist embellishments i don't need more sparks to do that?
If that's the case the recraft cost isn't too bad to do
this is my gear atm:
if you want to do 3 -> 3 -> 3 then you need to tab target
But if you're fine with 3 -> 2 -> 2, then don't
I just cba to tab usually and don't care
Once the spark is committed to that item, the item never needs a spark again. You can recraft it as many times as you like, however each time will cost you the materials and will also cost you acuity (which is limited).
oh sweet as, does it still require the crest to recraft?
(Well technically if you want to carry the item into the next season, you'll need a next-season spark when that comes out)
Nope, crest is also only once
!carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
okay sweet, so i'll go Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) + Dawnthread (belt) ?
you can only do 2 embellishments
i don't mean this in a bad way, but it might help if you read a guide on the crafting rework from dragonflight. a lot of stuff changed and it's hard to explain why choices are optimal if you don't know the basics
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
what you're gonna do is garrote 1 garrote 2 garrote 3
Wonder if blizz does class tuning tomorrow
they would have announced it by now probably if they did
ah sorry, i didn't know!
So i'd have to remove a embellishment from recrafting then?
Boring
you'd have to remove your dawnthread from your betl
perfect thank you! 🙂
!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.
Wasn’t there a command which told you which teammates abilities could break your stealth or am i going schizo
Damn how are we gonna be using our thistletea with the new changes coming in new patch ?
!stealthbreak
Stealth can break from:

Started to play after S3 Outlaw and noticed a huge difference between sin and this.
In the left tree, soothing darkness heal, subterfuge utility, and without a trace for the extra healing and utility
Those were basically bread and butter of outlaw because it meant you could be super helpful and tanky due to to all the healing and ways of getting more vanish
I really miss that side of the tree dang
Having trouble having strong KB windows, any tips or tricks to increase dps for KB? Im keeping the envenom buff 100% uptime during KB window
Same as now
no we canceled raid on friday
damn so what youre saying thats when you knew already

understand theres some nuance but is this a general breakdown of m+ damage? or should CT be higher?
cs should be higher than ct
people have shit cs uptime and then do crap damage
any monkey can spam ct
!up
looks good

I'm starting to have so much mastery on my gear that hero tracked skardyns is barly an upgrade from 616 transmitter and 610 ritual knife 😐
Are you simming dslice?
and the spec?
it wants to put as many bleeds on the target as possible
the APL will cast CT on single target if you have spec'd into it and have momentum of despair up (i.e. if the clear the witnesses FoK crit)
Because it’s technically better but maintaining that many bleeds on a target isn’t realistic
ohhh that makes sense, ty!

opinion didnt change i like da boss 
i do not like the boss with a raid team of homunculi
question
but its fine mechanically
is ass rouge bugged or something on tesdting dummies?
seems big dmg loss from my sim
dont sim patchwerk if youre trying to compare to a dummy
fuck me lmao
you also may or may not be getting benefit from assassination execute talents based on how you're testing
so how bad is assa in vers/mastery gear homies
should i just make 2nd char or smth if i wanna play assa
!stats
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
It’ll be fine
yeah yeah yeah its normal, but helped the more casual guild clear normal tonight, and 99 on ansurek RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don’t think I’ll ever parse on that boss. I feel like I do zero damage in p2 and our warriors and stuff just kill all the adds before my dots tick
yeah luckily the norm group is pretty low, so I was just slamming into adds, but on heroic, I guarentee I dont get into the 90s
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
this is why u can't parse on that boss

any change in how many ruptures we should spread if we do the m+ build that doesnt have scent of blood?
don't believe so
What am I looking at
Oh lol
Is it worth trying to stay at above 50 energy at all times when using Sanguine Blades or nah
or only while not using your big cooldowns
spatter go crazy
!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.
"try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime" i see
thanks
and yes im on Deathstalker
is it the same while in aoe tho?
since in aoe you still pick Sanguine + Deathstalker
im assuming its the same idea?
in general arent you supposed to not lose energy on aoe
Good luck staying under 50%
ah there we go
So pooling is not a concept
how often do u guys feint in dungoens cause my group is trying to maek me do it a shit ton and energy is rough as it is
Basically on cooldown
They are right
Especially with elusiveness you should basically always have something worth feinting
Energy shouldn’t be rough, just need to watch gcd and be able to use it
I think I’m averaging like 40-50 casts depending on key
i mean fair enough
cant wait for ogcd feint
elusiveness imo, i use feint a billion times in keys and its incredible
also you cant wield your MH
im not gaining xp🤦♂️
Have you bought the expansion?
like quest have none did a dung and nothing but items
lmfao oh nah thats prolly why
yup
A bit insane
Shame it gets nerfed so quickly after I get to it
Cause my mental will be way more relaxed
Do we need to press envenom as much as possible during kb window?
I feel like my kb damage is low on ST
You should be pressing envenom as much as possible during kb because you’re in shiv and you should be pressing envenom as much as possible during shiv
Has nothing to do with kingsbane itself
Do i need to pool before using kb
Sometimes i accidentally clicked KB when i got no energy
Envenom uptime during kingsbane is the only thing that matters
No, that’s why we have tea
what's the minimum target count to CT?
I see, thanks whysp
2
got it thanks!
!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
Yeah. It does way too much dam to not press
!up
I’m gonna be a buyer
How much energy you should always have ? With CD and without CDs?

Quick Question since you build up relativly good crit rate arround 30% is Dashing Scounddrel not good for more energy ?
Just macro tea into shiv
^ do not listen to this guy
Because it’s dumb as shit lmao that’s not how we use tea
That’s wonderful dear, but I would suggest not spreading misinformation
oh no
Tea for eveyone
How your logs looking mr. Anmie Picture, "in theory" guy ?
They’re looking fine thanks for asking
Pff
Also the art style is called chibi and it’s not from anime. But I assume you’re not particularly interested in finer details of art forms, given your lack of interest in finer details of the spec you’re playing, or calling it “anmie picture”
But that’s okay
I’m glad macroing is working good for you
I dont give a damn
Yeah that’s apparent enough to me
I cant stand you. Whatever.
Then why are you even in this discord?
Lol nr1 hater
tilted off a pfp is crazy work
Respect
Good people in here. Dont need to like everyone
You are spreading misinformation and got mad for getting called out?
And I don’t need you to like me, I couldn’t care what a random on the internet thinks about who I am or what I do
Just don’t say bad info
:)
Yea oxi is here once or twice a week
Obnoxious
Almost All of the good here happens because of one person
No. I say not to overthing tge tea stuff and you could just macro it since i myself do this and have great logs with it. So it cant be this bad hmm ?
Whats a great log?
You can do worse things. But the point is to tell people to do the correct thing
99
I mean he honestly isn’t wron it’s not that bad to do it’s just not optimal if your referring to heroic logs that’s a complete meme
Why the fuck are WoW players so afraid of thinking?
You are using a program to log your performance but you don't want to think?
@slate crown u up?
Maybe you would have 100 if you used tea correctly 😅
not for too much longer but hi
No ffs
Maybe lol
hi. how do I disable the darkest night icon on the CP bar. I cant find anywhere for the icon. but I wanna keep the count down
Link your logs rn

If its mythic who cares
It’s not like tea is a difficult button to press
I have dogshit logs and still raid at a very high level
And macroing it is simply wrong
I think I removed both the count down and the icon in a recent version because my mark/DN big icon were like right next to it so it looked silly with both of them next to each other
was just visual noise
wow player try not to gatekeep challenge (impossible)
but
Whispyr, what do we do with tea then? School us please!
You press it during shiv when you can guarantee you won’t overcap energy
If you want to keep using that version and you want the countdown still, in one of the texts (I think there's only one), it should say something like %5.i %5.p
Currently progging kyveza
Macroing it means double casting during your first two deathmarks, where you will be overcapping energy due to the energy from deathmark


In the text, remove the %5.i part
ily
I was asking nbx and yeah logs are completely irrelevant towards mythic prog
borpa borpa
What if I dip sub 30 during deathmark before shiv? 🙂 also the first charge is just sent with Kb?
Someone died on is Rashanan kill I hope
I only played sin on brood this tier and my guild private loggs unlucky
what is best embelishment for M+? someone told me that the weapon embelishment is BIS for every class always? is this true
you outplayed 98% of all other players playing your spec in heroic? too bad heroic logs are worthless you stupid fuck
link ce
some people just drink beers and raid it aint that serious
Also a tip for the future because I used to do wild escape sequence custom code shinanigans in the past, but now it's easy af to put smaller icons into auras with the %i texts, something they added recently, really convenient

Dipping under 30 during deathmark is unheard of honestly, especially on pull with lust, especially when you just cast tea on the first shiv 8 seconds earlier. I would have to see that to believe it
The first charge is sent kinda whenever during your opener, regardless of kingsbane, just to get it on cooldown so you don’t have a cooldown sitting there at 3 stacks
Double tea during deathmark wasn’t even better during 10.3 with amirdrassil with kingsbane being crazy high
It’s even worse now with kingsbane being weaker
Macroing isn’t a huge giga world ending loss, no one ever claimed it was
But it’s very easy and straightforward to just idk
Use it correctly?
I’m assuming he was doing it because either lazy or a poor attempt to reduce button bloat in cd windows (which isn’t even necessary on sin)
Wow players can do 8 delves a day but refuse to press 2 buttons instead of 1
💀
So abilities can be parried huh?
Maybe I’m the bad guy here for suggesting correct play, entirely possible I’m being a dickhead about this, but in a world where people are tracking clear the witnesses to fok in single target for a minor gain, and then tracking momentum of despair to press ct after it for a minor gain, I would’ve assumed that just pressing tea wouldn’t be a controversial take 
Rashanan banger 
I've read about !pooling here but I'm not entirely sure so I want to ask, do we start it immediately after cd window? Do we just look to overlap envenoms last second and keep bleeds up or do we mash buttons as they are available through energy? I don't have the feeling for how long it can safely pass without pressing any buttons if it makes sense, I've played outlaw prior to this xpac and you know how it is with outlaw, just mashing a lot and sin is just different, but better
Imagine correcting players playstyle
Who are you? The one who created the APL for Sin !?
- Yes, any time outside of cooldowns
- envenom pandemics, so same rules as a dot, but 1 second is fine yeh
- you always build your cp and then wait but idk what “mashing” means in this case, you basically envenom->mut to 5, then wait for envenom and repeat
how prog high lvl if IMPORTANT NUMBER not orange???
Link io
Link WoWProgress
Bigger number better person 
tbh, play brewmaster, that spec is legit bloated
i think by mashing they mean how you need to get 8 gcds in subterfuge for outlaw which only has like 0.4s of wiggle room
meanwhile sin is literally pressing no buttons at times
True and based
- Do bad or don't understand spec
- look up class discord
- ask how to do better
- get provided answer
- offer alternative to correct answer
- told alternative is wrong
- call everyone elitist meanie heads
- leave discord and call Whispyr a cuck in youtube comments and reddit
but where Profit?
♫ the cycle of life can be cruel ♫
Sorry your duck looks a little too anmie picture, you’re a weirdo
He’s still in the disc cooking a valid reason to macro shiv and tea together just wait
whispyr is the goat dont touch him
I mean who has a Duck kickflipping as PfP right !?
and wasnt your pic made by your GF
anmie is a good bit
have you seen the xalatoes gif
or smth like that
unfortunate it wasn't intentional
which one 
No, I got it commissioned for our anniversary, she’s the other half of the artwork
oh ye that way
those aren't xalatoes
She has a big physical copy hanging on her wall
Thanks Whisp, I just feel that I'm doing something wrong when I'm not pressing buttons all the time gcd after gcd so I have to get used to that. That's what outlaw does to you lol
Yeah happens
100% her toes would clean with my mouth
It’s mostly just that outlaw is limited on time (gcds) and assa is limited on energy
Yeah I guess, it’s more for m+ scenarios
So you want to be as efficient as you can with each cast
what's sub limited by?
key binds?
Sub is limited on braincells
a functional design
and the collective blizzard trauma of Zul
Hey guys is The very Rare neck proper Simable?
yes
its a neck with a bonus stat proc, thats good
Although I feel majority of players have 0 fucking clue
how any rogue spec works
if they dont main one
thats cus they dont
Can an Orange Cat play it?
Sub had insane funnel years ago and it’s stuck in peoples brains ig
yeah 6 years ago
even that one
you would be suprised how many warriors dont Press spell reflect cus they dont know that it gives flat 20% magic dr on a 25sec cd
I got that last raid and got flamed in because i got myth track but for me as a m+ player The effect was mainly the reason for me to taking it
I think sub plays fine at the moment I enjoy playing it on nexus more then I enjoyed sin on brood
But that’s because brood is a terrible boss
yeha, some loot greedy dickhead then
Does it sim higher than your myth track neck?

if it doesn't, youre a stinky goobie woobie
if other people in your raid cry, fuck them, horrible raid mates
Yeah in m+ it’s a bit tricky depending on what the situation is, in the situation of like being low energy and walking into directly into a boss, you could be starved when you press deathmark, so you would tea to get your envenom up, then tea during the shiv at the end. And frankly with aoe, it’s probably better to macro it to shiv in m+ than it would be in raid with the potential to overcap in aoe and the mastery being more beneficial as well in aoe. I still wouldn’t suggest it, but for example if you played with arterial precision, macroing tea to shiv is totally fine in aoe specifically. So like it’s close, if you forget to press tea or have it sitting at 3 stacks a lot, I would suggest just popping it at the start of an aoe pull after your crimson tempest, just to get it on cooldown.

yeah but maybe his guild doesn't

I'm trying to find a logical through line of how this situation occured
and he cared about the other's opinions enough to post about it
Will be heroic pug
my favorite is gonna be my transmitter note

I could see a casual raiding guild never using LC right
”this dog trinket lets me play terrible spec”
cuz if it was LC then idk why his raid would be mad
but also he surely wouldn't get it LC'd
to him
if he had a myth track neck

Shmeepy
so it had to be rolls



tbh i feel casual settings
Dont hurt your Head over this
get way more mad about loot
but if it was a pug
who gives af
if the raid is all mad at you
they're just NPCs that help you get loot

oh ye they do
casual guilds and cesspool mythic guilds have most loot drama
real
so why care
cus they dont care about loot progress for the team
they dont see "oh cool, we have X more raid dmg next reset"
its "WHY DID I NOT GET THAT 0,9% UPGRADE????"
are the worst
Cesspool mythic guilds are wr 1k complaining someone got the upgrade over them even tho it was 10k bigger for that person
they dont actually care for chill time
are we getting a catalyst charge thsi reset?
