The uptime on the debuff is very low
yeah its always great to use a defensive for minimal dps gains
Ritual knife very good
that's the dps way
If I pop all my defensives I can stay in this puddle for one gcd longer guys
You can infact cloak the knife debuff
And knife is a rly nice trinket
Especially on hero track
No
fair
Hello I am new here used to play unho dk, this atch I went assassin rogue. I cant fet past 70tg parse. Can anyone check what is it I can imrpove, besode the gems enchants potions? Name is Amagrim. Doomhammer eu
This was knife debuff uptime in +11 mists for me
Send a log and if people are free they will review it
The only time knife ever feels bad is when it procs during cooldowns outside of that it’s goated
yeah and thats why I dont like it
That rarely happens
And it’s really only impactful if you like negative roll mastery or crit
Its fair to not like it for that but it's so infrequent it makes up for it during the periods you are not debuffed
because we hate other stats right
cant really "Make up for it"
that cd window is down bad then
its always ultimately was than if it didnt happen there
Sure, but you use mad queens instead, your cd window using skardyns only benefits from 1200 crit from mad queens
Klemen log review
I mean yesno ish
Anyone who wants to tag in feel free
unlucky, they do
vers is just flat dmg
and haste in cds should be logical since we still like pi
yeah but knife amps your damage outside of cds if it procs during and your dmg outside is shit
mandate just works regardless
I wouldn’t say “very” good but its definitely a lot better then before
well first thing i notice is you vanish 2s into the fight
Go to the thread
Maybe you are referring to a raid boss scenario, yes cds are a lot bigger but in a general dungeon scenario our sustained damage is nice
you dont use mandate in m+ either
Mandate is goated in m+
I agree mandate is worse in m+
That healing it does come in handy with how much it is on top of those prio target burns
(I don’t use my mandate in m+ I use Kara egg)

holy mother of delay
bot assassin
rip bot
for example i see this
but double on use is bad i assume?
so sac/skardyn would be best combo?
depends on the on-use, double buff on-use like transmitter and skardyn's are not that great. skardyn's+ mandate however is
i hate my life
that’s pog gz

It’s jover

Rip 90 emblems


i dont know why when i tracked the recipe i tracked stabber
but when i craft i clicked on dagger
smartest assassin alive

oh interesting thanks
not just the crest but also the spark is RIP
throne and liberty here i go
yeah jsut spark and gold, i think crest carryover to your other weap if u eveer upgrade it?
at least you'll have the intelligence to not make such a mistake again 
Yeah that’s roooough
or will i need to spent crests again if i ever get myth weap
at least he transmogged it to an agility dagger


intel will give poison dmg 
I’d be more pissed about the crests. The affix this weeks sucks soooo bad.
At least they undid the buff to it
Guys is it stupid to play myth track 626 Sacbrood in m+ instead of hero delve/crystal trinket? It sims almost -2% in all scenarios except in st compared to 2 other mentioned
Im pushing +10's and +11's atm
Figured sac might be good for the bosses but im unsure for overall performance
noone knows what your gear looks like
but with proper gear the crystal sims roughly the same as sac in st aswell
but with myth sac it all might be a different story yet again at max ilvl
generally trinkets are rather close
Wait whats the crystal trinket
dawnbreaker
just picked up rogue again after not playing it since shadowlands, in ST i have negative energy
i think thats just how sin is
Open a ticket and they will likely fix it for you
dont think they would but worth a try i guess
This happened all the time last xpac and they always did
is it worth crafting a neck with spark? If so which one?
does ur neck suck? if so, then sure
probably the basic neck, since ur going to want embellishments elsewhere
I have 2 dawnthread already on belt and wrist
yea, then u can sim all the stat combinations
id guess haste mastery for deathstalker and crit mastery for fatebound, but i could be wrong depending on your profile
If you don’t care to sim crit mastery is always a safe option

guys can i swap iron wire for lightweight shiv in M+?
Nah
no
Keep iron wire
iron wire is insane
You can technically do that. I wouldn’t though
Like
I never would
maybe if u had a 2nd rogue in the group also using iron wire?
i know its insane, but my tank never lets me stealth so i feel like its being a wasted talent

switching out iron wire is like putting diesel gas in an unleaded gas car... it dont work
its driving me nuts
yea i bet you get no restealths
Swapping out iron wire is bad
If you’re using vanish
0
You’re getting more value from that
literally 0
Then you would lightweight shiv
The whispyr strat
you need to do higher keys ;). That's where my tank need a break lol
like did a GB just now
doubt it’s that low
Hang back if possible
that shit was just straight pain
GB kind of a fiesta for ape tanks
I play with the apest tank known to man.

Don’t.
The Siphoning Stiletto is an excellent weapon for an Assassination Rogue, given its high agility, beneficial secondary stats, and unique damage-dealing effect. It should serve well in both solo and group content, provided the random nature of its special effect aligns with your combat strategy.
Chat gpt ahh mf
haha
I’d rather oedipus my eyes away
Or why we shouldn’t use double vanish
this, tanking running to next pack and i finish off a straggler
able to restealth even when hes balls deep into the next pack
If you’re tank is pulling something into another pack and the pack is at like 2-6% he’s just kinda tanking wrong
double equip trinkets seem to sim pretty well for keys (also in ST) anyone having run that?
For the group composition
the ability for a Rogue to restealth has a number of strategic pros and cons, influencing gameplay significantly, especially in PvP scenarios but also in PvE. Here’s a breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages:
Pros:
Initiating Combat: Restealthing allows a Rogue to choose when and where to initiate combat, often enabling the opening attack to be on their terms, usually with a powerful opener like Cheap Shot or Ambush.
Control Over Engagements: In both PvP and PvE, being able to restealth can allow Rogues to reset their positioning, escape from unfavorable situations, or prepare for a more advantageous attack.
Increased Survivability: By dropping out of combat and entering stealth, Rogues can often avoid damage and heal up, either through eating food in PvE or using abilities like Recuperate in PvP.
Tactical Maneuvers: Stealth offers tactical advantages, such as bypassing enemies in both PvP and PvE environments, or securing objectives in battlegrounds without drawing attention.
Utility in Groups: In group settings, restealthing can allow Rogues to perform actions without being noticed, like sapping or blinding additional enemies during an encounter.
Cons:
Cooldowns and Delays: Abilities like Vanish have a cooldown, which can limit how often a Rogue can restealth. This makes timing crucial and sometimes risky if the ability is on cooldown when needed most.
Area of Effect (AoE) and Damage over Time (DoT): Enemies using AoE or DoT effects can prevent restealthing by keeping the Rogue in combat or breaking their stealth if it’s applied after stealth has been activated.
Limited by Environment: Certain environments or situations, especially crowded ones with lots of AoE spells, can make restealthing challenging or nearly impossible.
Dependency on Stealth: Over-reliance on stealth for effectiveness can sometimes backfire, especially if opponents anticipate this tactic and prepare for it with abilities that reveal stealth or protect against it.
Predictability in PvP: Experienced players are often aware of a Rogue’s tendency to restealth and prepare countermeasures, such as placing traps or using abilities that reveal stealth around strategic locations.
Strategic Use:
Timing and placement: Effective use of restealth often depends on good timing and strategic placement to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks.
Adapting strategies: Adapting your use of restealth based on your opponents' classes and tendencies can significantly enhance its effectiveness.
Restealth is a powerful tool in a Rogue's arsenal, offering significant strategic depth and variety to gameplay. Understanding when and how to use it best is key to mastering the Rogue class in World of Warcraft.
what time are you simming

5 min patchwerk
Ask it why we shouldn’t use double vanish
easy answer we are no PIG

so restealth is not 100% needed all the time?
on use trinkets are only as good as your usage of them
It helps spread the dots quickly, but It is not a huge DPS loss. what I have notice if you can get bleed up and apply crimpson, you should be good.
Indiscriminate Carnage guys, is this talent "acting" smart, In an aoe M+ opener if use multiple garrotes and ruptures on 1 target in a grp of 7, will the garrote and rupture "act" smart and spread to all 7 mobs, or can it happen that in spreads to the same 3 targets multiple times
!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.
In m+, do you guys start with Ambush to get the deathstaker up? I noticed, if I use ambush, I can't squeez in three garote and rapture in 6 sec window.
I struggle a lot with single target fights and being starved for energy, i try to limit envenoms for use only when i have 1 second left of the buff after CDs to pool energy, is there something else that Im missing?
If u don't have darkest night active yeah
Ambush gar rupture rupture gar
Some form of that usually works fine
90% of the time you have the darkest night, cuz 20 sec is enough from pull to pull
Is this just take a socket vault?
If you open with ambush does Iron wire still work for the 6sec After getting out of stealth talent ? Or its only if you open with garrote
it works.
Ty
5s because you lose 1gcd to ambush
Fair enough
Do you apply deathstaker to low health mob to get darkest night proc? I have not tried it, so curious how to get more Darkest night proc
no lol
You apply it to the dead mob to get full value
You Ambush the first pack of the dungeon
After that you have the DN proc for the entire dungeon
Which you just juggle
if you got darkest night you start pack with garrotes and ruptures, and then you pick highest hp mob and apply deathstalker mark on it + cds
Wait I thought darkest night was applied with ambush only how do you have it always after first pack?
if a target with deathstalkers mark dies, it gives u darkest night
There are times I’ve gone for lowest Hp instead and I get more DN procs chaining from one mob to another before it dies. But usually highest hp
so if youre doing a pack etc. and it dies, it gives u darkest night
or if you do 3 5+ cp spends, it gives darkest night aswell
And from there it just keeps reapplying mark to new target til it’s dead
then darkest night can apply deathstalkers mark by using a max CP envenom
or u can ambush and apply
5+ consumes the DM, but if you are hitting the high health mob, you have to consume all DM to get the DN proc.
thats what i said, 3 5+ cp spends
You have to weight the extra procs of darkest night VS the cost of swapping caustics around and needing to use more mutilates
or if target dies
Rather than just keeping it on one dude and not trying to snipe low health ones
That’s a good point, so is there value to this type of sniping/chaining or is FoK going to outweigh?
So it might be good in some scenarios, but its not a catch-all always do this type of thing to snipe low health mobs for more procs
its more value to just rupture snipe low targets to have more energy to funnel into your prio target
Similar question: how to get more DN proc from a ST? I notice I do get Ambush proc during fight without vanish. Is there a way to fully consume DM to get DN before reapplying the DM? I do see some players do get a much higher % of crit from Envenom.
mouseover macro or something
Vicious venoms bugged right
huh?
is that some new copy paste meme thing
no
I thought it was being discussed last night
maybe they have more crit
overall
@spice surge
not that I know of, but I wasnt here last night
maybe eleem or whispyr
you should be rushing to consume DN procs, so maybe they're getting more DN procs per fight resulting in more envenom crits
whenever you have the capstone you should be rushing 7cp envenom to consume
I went to bed reading that improved garrote was ahead by a small margin due to a bug
but you dont pick either VV or imp garr
you'd pick both
oh they fixed bubbling wax
but lets wait for eleem
Huh?
That's the exact point of the no-IG build
Is to go full ham on VV
And no bleeds whatsoever
Not taking IG/Sang/SS saves points to use on VV etc
I try to consume DN as soon as possible. I guess need more practice and see how it goes.
multiple of the high simming builds have both and if imp would be stronger due to some bug you would still pick both
If Imp would be strong?
I mean if VV is bugged, then you wouldn't play it
It sims barely higher than anything and only on full st
depends on what the bug is
the main takeaway from the VV builds imo is not running SB
and the better no SB builds run VV
I got this message, came into chat and whispyr said his pin disappeared. But the yappening was happening and I couldn’t find it
Like Whispyr still has this build in Wowhead
yeah but he also says they all are close
!up
What pin
But yeah
The main point of the VV build was to drop the bleed nodes to allow you to take VV
But then people started playing 1 VV and Improved Garrote
Like this is a popular build
But it's only 1 VV
Not 2
And if VV is bad/bugged, you're taking Sang
is one of the builds of the pin
Good thing I'm already playing this build
and the highest simming no sb build for me
I mean
At the end of the day
Nothing matters
It's all within like 0.2%
There's no reason to play VV unless it's super giga only ST
It's not miles better than Sang + IP
Or Sang + IG
What would you have to care for in a Sang build
You don't play around it whatsoever
It's just strictly worse to play VV in cleave than Sang
you stay below 50% energy
darn the crafted dagger expensive to make lol
however much it is, it is something
Well "naturally" people very hardly if ever pool from 0 to max
u mean the stabber
You spend so much time refreshing ruptures, maintaining Envenom uptime that you're hardly ever getting above 50% unless you're actively trying to do that

Like 2x VV for me is literally 0.1% better
Than fully going bleeds with IG + Sang + SS
is it really worth using fan of knives in single target with clear of the witness proc
And is actually a viable build outside of single target as well
It is if you're not playing VV
wasnt there a pool command

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.
ty
I have a meeting to go to. Can someone @ meet if we hear about VV
Any coaches for hire? Not for the basics I'm A CE player I just am having a bit of trouble this tier and wanna to over a couple specifics
DM me
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Yes and no. The mark bug that sucks for sub (aka you cant go below 3 marks when darkest night is up) is also a bit bad for VV since you'd want to use vanish when darkest night is up to "cheat" an extra stack
But also im fairly sure VV is still bugged and doesnt work with shiv nature increase
But sim match the ingame behaviour
is it worth crafting second dagger if not doing mythic raid for dagger?
Offhand is the least important slot

So we dont pool as deathstalker?
Hi guys, does anyone have a simple plater profile to use for assassination? I tried some of the ones I found on Wago and didn't like them as they 'remove clutter' which includes crimson tempest
You still pool so you don’t run yourself out of energy as I understand it, you’re just not spamming tf out of mutilate between envenoms. Get your cp up and ready and let your autos do the talking

My plater profile here is tailored for Assassination Rogue
It filters out crap, but it doesn't filter out Crimson Tempest
Ok I'll give it a shot tyvm!
Cev do you have the string to change deathstalkers mark plate to purple? Whispyrs had this but i was unable to copy it into my own
Sweet
!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
tyvm for your profile it works perfect I just added pandemic glow and it's exaclty what I was after
It should already have pandemic glow
GET OUT OF MY HEAD I WAS JUST TYPING THAT.
haha
Profile actually looks really clean, time to bin mine
I had a dream where Whispyr was trying to convince the rogue discord to microwave cucumbers
Did it work?
Some people had trouble getting it microwaved and we had a pin about proper settings for your microwave for optimal cucumber limpness
Can I ask perhaps an odd Assassination question: if you're applying your Garrote/Rupture to multiple enemies after your Deathstalker opener with Ambush, how do you reliably find your Deathstalker marked target again? Obviously you can see it, but clicking it feels an issue in a big big pack
Oh haha sweet thanks let me know when fixed and I'll update it ^^
which daggers are good before raid drops?
I asked this the other day. The answer was most don’t come off their deathstalkers mark and apply bleeds with mouse over macros..
..which still involves clicking awkwardly
For your platter, do you recolor mobs in dungeons,? Also how does it handle a cast-bar vs interruptable vs non interruptable? I had a really nice platter that broke on War Within(Atrocity's old ElvUI finally gave out all his scripts and such broke).
In keys for mob packs do I need to worry about opening with ambush? Or just open with it in my main target?
I'm wondering if I'm losing possible spread by not opening with garrote
That sounds a PITA
U only open with ambush to apply deathstalkers mark but ideally after that first pack then u should open with gar/rup depending on cp because darkest night is active.
I use either a weakaura or plater thing to make it glow
Word, thanks!
And in that scenario ur applying ur mark later so no need to worry bout mouseovers if it’s too much.
But doesn’t the mark double your bleeds? So don’t you need to get it on first to benefit from that?
Well maybe im doing something wrong but i use the out of stealth timer to get my bleeds up then apply mark. Maybe its not optimal i am but a scrub :0 which is why i lurk to learn.
Me too. What you said makes sense though so now I’m curious what is best. Hopefully someone can answer us
Have you a link to the WA?
At the same time by the time im done setting up, spatter is up and am consuming dn which doesnt feel bad either.
Last question as I haven't played Assassination since its rework, if everyone has garrot/rup/tempest, you should be spamming envenom, right?
Make sure spatter is up but ye

@limber lion why is the hybrid build is considered best for higher keys than the bleed one? do you know?
Will try it, thanks Dog
Alright just updated it, should work now :)
Anyone knows why my Deathstalker wont reapply on this Anima CP? Well, sometimes it does, sometimes not. Probably missing something or haven't read good enough :/
or the Weakaura is bugged
Some dude dm'd it to me let me find it
I do recolor yes. I use a hybrid of Quazii's coloring and my coloring. I will need to update it to match better, but yes I color important mobs that need to be interrupted etc.
Also casts are colored, red casts are important casts that you need to CC (uninterruptable) and dark casts are frontals (uninterruptable). Other casts are not colored and are casts that you can interrupt.
You're both talking about different marks
He's talking about Deathstalker's Mark, not Deathmark
You apply Deathstalker's Mark with Ambush or DN
It is correct, if you have DN ready, you spread bleeds first and then apply it with Envenom
Derp sorry, so it’s deathmark that doubles bleeds. My bad
Hybrid does more single target damage, which is more beneficial for higher keys that have prio mobs or keys where the key fails because of a hard boss fight.
Thank ya
Sudden Demise is also super crazy for lower keys because it can proc from a higher % because the mobs have lower health in total
But in higher keys it doesn't get as much benefit
It's still super good and is not reflected in the sims
@slim pebble
Sudden demise doesn't give you more damage. It just makes the damage loss a bit less
Well it does
Can anyone explain me how current gems work? Like do you want as many different ones as possible for that stackable 0.15% crit bonus? Or is like, one per color enough?
For some reason this expansion I have been having issues clicking on targets or intractables like feasts or cauldrons
Anybody else having issues?
Not really
You need to spend resources that deal 1500 dmg in order to deal 1000.
Yes
That's how it works yeah
So just to be clear , it is deathmark that doubles bleeds? Do the bleeds need to be applied after?
But a mob that would die in 60 seconds would die in 58 seconds with Sudden Demise
But it's true, there's no direct damage component to it
But you are maintaining bleeds at all times
That too, but that is in the sims
But the active part isn't
Yeah and that’s like not a huge component. But it exists
Well it kinda can be
For me Sudden Demise did like 4% last dungeon
Which is just 4% extra dam that I would have otherwise lost
in the void
But your spending those bleeds anyways, SD is providing you that damage.
It’s really semantics at this point. Saying SD is just saving you a loss in damage is practically the same as saying it gives you more damage.
There is a difference there for sure
Like if you don't refresh your bleeds and the perfectly expire before the target dies, then you get nothing out of SD
No because you could just spatter more envenoms instead of having mobs die with 20s bleed left
You just use that for free Energy if you need it
i dont think you’d lose all 4% right
No
are you letting your bleeds expire as a result?
That's why Sudden Demise is impossible to sim
isn't SD inefficient bleed damage? like it's better than your bleeds having 20s on them when the mob dies, but you're getting 50% of a global's worth of damage
or whatever the conversion is
yea no way to sim when you deathmark and have lots of bleeds on a mofo that he will have time to die 3 secs
It's impossible to say if a mob dying 2s earlier with SD is a gain or loss because you lose that 2s of hitting the target
It's just loss prevention like Zaionara said
man i wish i had queens mandate this week
Now imagine if you'd press envenom more instead of having big bleeds run out
my envenom isnt going to go from 9.8 to 14.3% buddy
hes not ur buddy pal
no shot envenom beats ct and spatter
- having an actual good capstone talent
spatter is also not going to gain that much
Anyone know if there’s a weak aura that tells you when queens mandate will kill a target?
arguing in any way against sd being good is insane cope you never choose to send a dogshit -20% agility envenom because muh inefficient sd conversion
It's fine man. Bleed your +7 mobs out
if we ignore all the other factors how much damage is an envenom 7 point vs rupture 7 point on a single target
assuming u have an envenom buff ready and all the normal stuff ud have before envenoming
Envenom is obviously like 3-5 times worse than Rupture
I'm a little confused by this Sim, can you guys help?
patchwerk 2 targets, recommended m+ buiild.
Why the additional 2 garrotes?
seems to happen every vanish window
to get pandemic
Extending pandemic empowered garrotes
!pandemic
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
Probably sim thinking that IC Garrote is more efficient CP generation than Fan of Knives/Mutilate
that too fan can be 1cp if you are unlucker
We don't do that
forcing pandemic instantly tho? seems odd?
Wasn’t it a gain back in BFA days?
no read what cev wrote
from 100 parse mythic rashanan
bleeds are just obviously insane though
dpe moment
man i had a build with my mastery stack gear of 3 nothing personals and the essence that procced vendetta automatically
was so fun
what im wondering about is if a mob has like 10% hp for example in grim batol where u bomb them
Nothing Personal, yeah
would u still rupture cuz its more dmg execute than envenom
what about ur energy tho
cuz its a lot of mobs on no hp
I liked most of BFA azerite traits
and u couldnt spatter without rupture up
Rupture is 5 times better than Envenom because it lasts for 32 seconds
But if you apply it to a target with 10% hp
It lasts for like 3s
And suddenly it's 3 times worse than using an Envenom flatout
ye but u get the execute with it
so its not like u lose all the 32 seconds of value
You have Rupture on targets anyways
the execute is not 1:1 efficient though
u have to 50% overkill them before sd triggers
We Rupture for energy gain or Scent of Blood
and also ur cucking spatter 
rupture doesnt need to be active for spatter to be active just to apply it
youd rather mutilate and spatter again after ruptures go down
than spend all ur cp on a shit rupture
unless its 4 the energy
i miss my azerite powers...
except that they are now in the game
and i hated them
maybe i dont miss them
i dont even really remember azerite powers i played right at da end of bfa
I miss us varas
when it was all about ur sexy corruptions
i have job and uni. every day is wake up at 6:30 and get home at 21(except today cause i skipped uni to go to gym)
its the first week aswell
and im mentally done!
That’s life babe
nah it will only get better
ill work for a year at my current place and then try to get a closer work place/work from home
and masters is 2 years only
so it will get better
If the root question is "how do I efficiently kill a group of enemies that start at 10% health" the answer is probably open as normal, because IC garrote, rupture, SBS is very efficient. and you get some of the overkill back with IC execute and rupture energy refund
that's a different question from "should I rupture a target at very low health to try to trigger IC execute"
if i dont cope ill fucking concede mentally
proud of you for what its worth.
people here rarely work while studying
thanks!
People here rarely work
though it does suck to get home and instantly have to boot up wow cause raid has started and im late
but prog will soon(TM) be over
know that feeling. I worked while going to school and had a second job while being a trainee to pay off the house debt with my mother bcs my parents divorced as I was 15
sometimes stuff is rough, but if you pull through its all worth it as you as a person grow
and you can be proud of yourself doing what many others dont
well im not doing this cause i need the money
i just wanted to work
i see, i will miss the ambush proc though
people around here all think of how they can work less
before they even work
like 4 day weeks, only working half a day or becoming some influencer person

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 but that pretty much only helps in ST boss fights because all the other time you're spamming FoK and are energy saturated anyways
a few I know don’t necessarily need the additional income work a side job for something to do
well if you just got out of school and are studying, you either work, get help from the state or your parents pay
are you guys sticking with sin most of the time this expac? or do you swap to sub for certain raid bosses/dungeon?
no but shadowrunner is useless
rushed setup has atleast some use
but move speed
MS thats mostly useless
So you can wait for the party for longer
Probably sticking with sin the whole way. Saw exile play sin for WF princess and council and I’m sure Queen will be nerfed enough by the time I get there for it not to matter (playing sub)
spyglass or empowering crsytal which is stronger for m+ guys
whatever sims higher

seeing lots of sub pop up in keys now and exile was ripping on queen as sub
even with me prioritizing sin secondaries im simming higher on st 2 min burst as sub..
Maybe cause in a 2min sim, sub gets to burst twice while assa once
👀
i know yall gonna call me a shitter
but
anyone have hekilli settings optimized for assasination
100%, was just doing it to peep the sims. im super low on vers rn so i was kinda taking it with a grain of salt
For H Court. Do we keep our dots on both or just cleave?
keep rupture on the one u dont have deathstalkers mark up
Hekili is bad for rogues
(i think)
ye it just universally sucks for rogue
the turning it off is the best setting
Does death mark feel kinda weak to anyone else compared to other 2 min cd’s?
Buddy of mine has their mythic lockout reset, anyone else here see that this week?
Had*
I've heard some people had this happen last week
Does spending darkest night or crimson tempest have a higher prio in aoe?
Not us tho
Did they get their items rolled back?
Idk, I don't think so
Sub will not be better then assa atm
Yeah
I mean you an also indefenitely farm mythic trash loot farm
Drops 2 items / armor type 629 + ring
Better gear than every early boss
actually something i was wondering as well
I would dn as soon as spatter is up
which is after spreading bleeds, ok sounds good
I do apply CT before my DN but that's feelcraft
You def want ct out
CT > Mark
if you have dn already you should just get it out no?
If you have 17 mobs
And you apply Mark to one target
Instead of CT to all 17 mobs
Which one do you think is better?
Correct
You want to use both either way
I thought ambush applied the mark?
A lot of people just tend to skip out on it entirely unless it alligns automatically
Yes and so does DN
The original question was what do you prio apply first
yo, does anyone know good guilds or ppl that can help with queen on HC? so tired of pugs constantly failing on P1 and leaving, just desperately need that spelunker and item
the DN-buffed envenom does way more damage than the stealthed ambush right? so we should look to apply DSM with DN rather than ambush where possible
is that correct
Yes
ofc
The benefit of Ambush is that you get the Mark up immediately
So you can start reducing it down with Ruptures and CT
But if you use DN, you would use the Ruptures and CT first
Missing out on the mark consumptions
if you ambush to get DSM, youd use all 3 stacks on the 2 ruptures and CT anyways right? then your envenom after spatter would be DN buffed regardless
Do you only use Thistle Tea during Kingsbane windows?
Shiv
So in st
Yeah
How do you get mark up if you don't open with ambush? I'm talking M+ and opening in aoe packs
Ok, ty!
presumably you have a DN proc from a previous pack
So you would open with ambush on the very first pack of the key then use DN procs to apply mark on every pack after that?
sure in theory. if DN drops off because of RP or a death or something obvi youd need to ambush to reapply it
Is this current affix working for us btw?
yes its desyncing dm/kb from skardyns grace it sucks ass
It un-sync my trinket / CD
Yes deathstalker is a very flawed tree
That's all very helpful, thank you ❤️
but i guess what i'm saying is its smarter to open with ambush on a pack regardless of if you have a DN proc or not, because you'll consume all 3 stacks on the fresh DSM before you'd naturally apply the DN proc with envenom anyways
or asking rather
No, cause ambush does not apply mark instantly if you got DN
It wait the end of DN buff
right now if you have DN up the new mark you applied with ambush is not consumed until after you proc the DN
ohh gotcha, thought that bugged got fixed
Noope, that's why we play improved garrote in ST
You don't want that really anyways cause you want to use ic as much as possible
So the wax bubble death bug is still there.
Doesn't seem to work if you die
on most packs you can still getout all the ruptures and garrotes you need even with ambushing 1st GCD but yes true if you're missing out on some spreads even more reason to not do it
and if you dont open with DSM youre missing out on some singular focus damage but yes def agreed with the bug it makes sense to not
That's very negligible
as are the amount of times you cant get enough garrotes/ruptures out in IC if you ambush first
Yea idk I don't really care
What's best depends on the situation too much
I just press some buttons
i mean with the bug its not worth the argument anyways
Ambush DSMs are worthless if you have a DN buff up
It's irrelevant to me. Only time I'd care is if I push keys many hours a day and know every dungeon pull
cancealaura dn macro
So in single target the main prop is to just keep rup and garrot up (refresh them like 6 sec before they expire and use vanish -> garot during KB) and just keep envenom buff up (reapplying 0.5 sec before it runs out)
And someone who does that would outdps me anyways cause knowledge is more important than 1% minmaxing
play for env uptime outside cds, spam env during cds
do you use fan on ST with clear the witness?
if you dont have vicous venoms talented, yes
Should I use crimson tempest on st?
You should unless you play VV
If you get the Deathstalker proc that increases its crit damage, then yes
Yea
But that only procs from FoK usages, so from CTW usages
Ofc
Otherwise I would just run out of energy

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
In AOE, say a typical M+.. are you applying garrote to everything?
no
i mean with IC u want to get several out
but outside of that you can't maintain more than like 2 garrotes
cuz of the cd
Ah okay
How do you just copy paste wowhead and still make it wrong
bonerbob would be better
Almost feels ai
did you expect something proper after reading "xy in 60s"

he's just telling people to overwrite their imp gar in their opener. where is the vanish??

I mean I would expect that it at least copy pastes the guide correctly
He stole your guide, now you steal his idea (x build in x seconds as a reel)
unless he's saying to gar in your last second of sub but thats wack
Both fail the full copy paste experience
lol the expectations of “AI” are vastly beyond its means
its actually ct on 2 right?
Ye
Yes
Yep
Nothing worse then a bad thief
also won't "Envenom @ 7 stacks" just cause you to waste cps?
Also love the footnote on pooling
That’s darkest night
its 5 unless you need to refresh DM
lmfao
Same way “mutilate every 10 seconds”
Like I recognize that’s for caustic
But nice guide

mitilate*
hu
dont you mut every 10s
and poison knife inbetween

well not "every 10s"
Yeah I count to 10 in my head
but to keep the caustic debuff* up yes you mut
It’s time for my every 10 second mut
dang, I use an alarm thats set every 10s
On what target? Why? Who cares
“Nice” mostly stolen guide that is now not accurate..
🤣
Same, even now as I’m not playing my finger twitches every 10s just from muscle memory
I'm using the bathroom right now but still running to my keyboard to mut every 10s
how much of a gain is using CT in ST with the FoK buff? that's something I haven't been doing tehee
Wouldn't you want a wireless keyboard to make it easier
-X% with VV
Drinking bird on the mutilate key ftw
0.2 or something without VV? idk, whispyr knows
is it not a gain to vanish garrote before deathmark outside of the opener?
No
Dm is dynamic
You would think wowhead has some sort of hit squad for this sort of thing….this can’t be the first time someone has ripped off the content
So you want to maximize garrote time rather than pressing it before
the imp garr time is the same
outside of the opener
tho

Yeah but double dipping
Is a loss
Instead of just pressing nut
Mut even
It ain’t that deep
quick nut
If I'm not gonna raid mythic, should I just craft 2x daggers?
you should never craft 2x daggers
unless you have every other craftable slot at 636/639
1x and the embrace darkness thing?
i did 1 636 dagger (ascension) with a 619 wrist that buffs ascension
On another piece
i just did this, now what
Aye, that makes sense
since the wrist embell doesn't gain anything from ilvl
actually i dont think any embells do tbh
But crafting 1x dagger is probably a solid choice
Clean urself up big dog

Wowhead recommends 2x Dawnthread, but idk
guide still says to delay DM for vanish with DS and imp garr tho
thats for M+
If I want to do both and want to use the same crafts, which would you recommend?
7 stacks of what 
This guy copies a build and can't even understand it
i mean embells aren't really that much of a gain either way
id just go with what content you care about more
2x crit over 80%
!craft
ascension for raid and x2 dawnthread for m+
7 stacks of brain cells, sadly I never put that talent in
Is there an indicator for how many envenom stacks you have?
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+

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
?
which stacks
envenom currently doesnt stack
amp poison stacks
hit squad for what?
but you ignore that
Got ya
xDDD
damn ya'll roasting the hell outta dude 
@balmy condor
"Lastly, with enough mastery (your main secondary stat) the 10sec improved garrote will out dps a mutilate."
I'm gonna start using that one

What a horrible day to have eyes
i’m still stunlocked by this guy forcing 7cp envenom every time
Huge tech

If we aren't running imp gar for brood is it ok to save vanish if we get web
sure
I've been too chicken shit to try, but does cloak stop up from getting sucked in by Mythix Ulgrax? Trying to increase my uptime after soaking >.>
No
what contributes to making a big kingsbane consistently? im 607 ilvl 4set but i struggle breaking 4-5m kingsbanes consistently even with 100% shiv and envenom uptime in kingsbane window.
Deathmark
no but it can be used to negate the knockback on Sikran 
unfortunate! thank you
are you baiting me? LOL
forgot to mention its with deathmark, its my opener kingsbane that feels small
ohh wow ok thanks
Do you have potions?
All enchants?
all raid buffs?
High ilvl?
Big weapon?
Good stat trinket?
I mean 4-5 mil sounds okay in theory, I have no fucking clue what kingsbane ticks for let me check
Me either, haven't looked at KB numbers in a while
5m sounds about right for the m+ build
but it should be a little over double? for the ST build. rough estimates
I'm 609 ilvl and mine did 7.5m on worm boss
sorry i meant a little under 
Is it possible to hit the 50 stacks on kb without DM ?
Sure if you high roll enough
I'm coming for you Whispyr!!!1
Hmm thank you
next patch tho
Wait fatebound is better in m+ or DS?
Twist the knife 

Ds everywhere
True!
More kb stacks
Fate ia for the lazy guys like me D:
hey there, im a goon and have a question:
If I'm fighting a pack of 5 mobs, they have no CT up atm but I have the darkest night proc and would have to send a full cp envenom for new marks, do I prio that envenom or do I send out a CT first? I'm unsure because CT seems to be very high prio, but getting getting new marks out first also seems important, especially because CT with 5+ CP would consume a mark right away if I get those up again first
Whispyr with the change to ttk is it just gonna ramp KB faster?
You get the mark up
alright ty!
Doubling envenom is doubling the poison application buff, kingsbane ramps from poison applications
So we will deal the same damage overall just faster? Or is ALOT damage
I’m confused since kb caps
You get to max stacks faster
So you get more ticks with the max amount of stacks
which is more damage
you ramp faster
but the duration of it is still the same
so you deal more damage overall
Thank you
I kinda doubt the TTK change is enough value to make us talent into it, but who knows
could open the door to more dashing scoundrel builds
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3kj7cBWhSioNvoCiyUwQw3
hey guys, I'm conflicted about taking very rare hero neck or myth sacbrood from vault. sacbrood sims pretty meh even at 639 compared to 619 delve ritual knife
any advice?
I would take the hero tier pants and catalyst them
Sac is fine
sac dn!!!
the other trinkets in the wowhead trinket tier list are pretty good at ST/AOE
idk man,almost had a stroke watching this
it's up to you
man linked a sim and gets hit back with "looks good on tier list"
i got flayed wing and the overclocked gear trink on champ track and they outscale sac brood at 619 or whatever in top gear
sim it and ask yourself if you want more st or aoe dps
hero pants should be easy to come by in m+
What is DN mister Kreem?
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEz nuts
Nice
If I have 7 combo points and darkest night up, do I open on the next aoe pack in an M+ with envenom, or should I garrote and rupture, get caustic splatter out, then the darkest night envenom
Real proud of them nutz
i feel like you were just part of the discussion we had lol. you get all your bleeds and CT out, then CS, then consume your DSM buff
you want diff color gems for the blasphemite buff
would just sim which vers gem is best, then which mastery gem is best, then which crit gem is best, then which haste gem is best
there is this weird ass gem with red and blue what is that
? hover over it and itll tell you lol
Tyrannical seems hard for me i'm often behind on bosses. Is it normal ?
We got a new video to recommend
very varying factors

I haven’t watched it
Gonna recommend lemon party before this shit
Is it bad
Wdym
that one should be recommended as ''what to not do as an assassination rogue''
Oh yeah
😂
how can u copypaste something and be that wrong while ''compressing'' information
Wouldn’t funny if whisper commented on it and called it wrong
So like
I mean it's no a rogue player. it's just a content farmer that doest his for multiple specs
What does flaming do for a video:
except make you look like a butthole
You can go in and say “yeah this isn’t right”
that would be fucking hilarious
