that makes so much sense

iron ivy
#

Anyone else getting sort of bugs during queen ansurek fight? I press a skill, the global cooldown occurs, but it doesnt actually do anything. For example, I use rupture, but it is not applied.

topaz crystal
#

fuck i thought i was smart

novel star
#

it’s not just about energy and finishers

#

the builder is also doing bad damage when u fan

#

and giving you worse finishers

#

points above 5 still matter

topaz crystal
#

do you guys get windows when ur energy is just totally fucked? or is that preventable

novel star
#

you just don’t build mkre on 5 because of overcapping

keen spruce
#

Also you will almost always hit all of your empowered cp during the ER window without trying to

#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay.

  • No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better.
  • 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
  • You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target

keen spruce
#

So you’re not losing any finisher efficiency most of the th ne

#

Griefing your builder efficiency just to hit empowered earlier doesn’t rly matter if you are gonna clear them anyways

#

it should ideally be 100% of what the sim says if you sim target dummy and then hit a target dummy

spice spire
#

I abandoned them

#

Hate a52 too

novel star
#

other than simming yourself on dummy settings that is an impossible question to answer

runic hinge
#

You abandoned all of us

topaz crystal
#

another question - with a trinket that has a cast time, how do you properly incorporate that into your opening?

ocean stirrup
#

that exist?

#

everyone does different dps because of different gear

spice spire

#

Alright dont roast me but this is a fine breakdown right? GB

spice spire
#

Pop serum right before dm

runic hinge

#

do you lose your stealth benefits by using the trinket?

So like

Yes

spice spire
keen spruce
#

Idk

topaz crystal
#

its a trinket

spice spire
somber sparrow
serene solar
#

Serum is a delve trink

spice spire
topaz crystal
#

so on the opening then, do i pop serum early, stealth, then ambush for dm application?

iron ivy

#

ahhh okay its bad

iron ivy
#

Ah so it doesnt show 'parried' when it's parried

#

Okay thanks

i mean idk but i cant imagine any other way you would get a real gcd and no effect

#

Stupid mechanic but I'll try to stand behind the boss I guess

#

Exactly

#

I thought I was crazy, but luckily I clipped it

#

Seems to happen a lot at start of ansurek fight

novel star
#

well

#

if you start ansurek like that every time

#

then ya

#

🙂

spice spire
#

the forbidden lore

iron ivy
#

Makes a lot of sense, but I just wasn't sure if parry was still a thing

novel star
#

you’d get a lot of parries by consistently attacking the front of the boss enough times

#

oh it is

topaz crystal
#

wait is there a benefit to being behind target on assn? or just that boss

#

WTF

iron ivy
#

Pretty annoying to have it mess up the entire fight possibly

topaz crystal
#

i didnt know that

novel star
#

parry also steals your echoing reprimand points

and parry steals your kingsbane dot

iron ivy
#

Might explain some of my dps losses in that fight

#

Is that only for rogue or for every class, any idea?

novel star
#

every melee in the game

#

gets parried when in front of the boss

#

wow sucks

Aha, alright good to know. Thanks!

Serum into deathmark

#

No no

spice spire
#

That’s on me for using an abbreviation

spice spire
#

600 off from grace

topaz crystal
#

i thought u meant ds mark tho

#

lol

#

so thats clarifying

spice spire
#

Yeah understandable

#

Yeah it’s serum > deathmark

#

You don’t want empty spaces during drathmark

topaz crystal
#

OK so serum is just part of the opening then

spice spire
#

Ye

topaz crystal
#

Got it, ty

novel star
#

deathmark is dm ds mark is dsm

spice spire

And every dm after that

Ok ill adjust my opening with that in mind

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.

random question but is Indiscriminate Carnage smart? will it prefer to be Garrote and Rupture on new targets?

I might go check it out this weekend if our dnd session doesn’t happen

Anytime big dog

lucid silo
#

this seems kinda good

magic dust
#

Quick question, does garrote affect caustic spatter dmg?

#

Or is caustic spatter only weapon poison dmg?

graceful solstice
#

it's not just WEAPON poison, but it is only poison

#

and garrote is not a poison

cobalt sphinx
#

It will give 2% more damage from lethal dose 🙂

#

Well actually it might not haha

magic dust
#

So rupture is also not causing caustic spatter dmg, you just need it to apply it?

real talk is transmitter too cancer to use? hero track one sims 11k higher than my trinkets now, but i could also take a myth track crit/vers ring from NW that i cant afford to upgrade atm dogeKek

#

Is a myth spyglass a must take from vault? There seems to be a lot of variance on 2nd trinket and I have a myth skardyns already but sims give me better short term results just taking a good myth ring and continuing to use hero empowering crystal

near vale
#

but just rng get the jump 3 times one

#

JUMP THREE TIMES

Transmitter takes some getting used to but once u get a feel u can get the buff 100% of the time basically

just loot a skardyns (I have only done 10 gb’s and got a hero in box today so fuck it)

@lucid silo Biggest three real choices are myth Umbriss Band (crit, high mastery, replaces 610 high haste/mastery hero ring), myth spyglass (replaces 626 hero crystal) , myth shoulder tier (replaces hero)

we didnt get an aoe nerf

they cut 5% off spatter so it doesnt go from the moon to mars

This is copium - we do too much damage right now in aoe. Don’t get me wrong I like it and there are a few other classes that are on the same level. So maybe it’s just our time to shine but they could nerf spatter 10% and we are still sitting at the top of aoe in keys at least

Is fatebound actually better or what btw, keep simming higher with it every time I sim it vs deathstalker despairge

Both Hero Talents are viable in all content, and are within 2-5% of each other.
Fatebound: Instant damage, is easy to play, can remove some buttons from the rotation, little to no added gameplay
Deathstalker: Introduces gameplay, Singular focus adds big priority damage, suffers from bugs and marks being hard to juggle in easy content like heroic/m0 dungeons

I think many people would benefit from playing fatebound

Yeah I've talked to him about it and he's read the guide a few times. It's very possible that he's missing something glaring though I'm just really struggling to parse through the logs outside of just seeing that he's pressing envenom way less than others. Hard for me to figure out why that is since I just haven't played much rogue.

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
  • Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

#

There's got to be something else.

cunning needle
#

but even in the trench tier people are dewarding now

copper monolith
#

i never played dota

faint vessel
#

I don’t mind 10s for myrhic vault slots. 9s to upgrade gear I started getting in 7s seems a little odd and feels bad but that’s just solo pug dps life

copper monolith
#

I think they should downshift gilded crests to 8

faint vessel
#

It’s not even the key is hard more that it’s making the available pop to run 9s feel really small

cunning needle
#

it's probably bad for the game - but i like that doing "hard" content acutally rewards you

#

consider the following - if you are not pushing at the highest level then you don't need the highest level of gear straight away

faint vessel
#

I agree, last season was the other side of being far too easy

copper monolith
#

i loved last season

#

honestly

spice surge
#

They could probably lower the crests to 8, or make it 50/50 gilded/runed or something

faint vessel
#

Yeah that’s the argument for mythic gear and 10d for vault slot, but doesn’t hold water for 9s

cunning needle
#

yeah i think reduce the amount of crests required

copper monolith
#

last season was amazingly fun

#

and so was the season beofre that

torpid temple
#

So are you playing sub for keys or what

copper monolith
#

i was

faint vessel
#

It’s also objectively a small percentage of keys available to run can give gilded. That’s my main issue

copper monolith
#

but it was too difficult

#

im playing assassination now

cunning needle
#

no we're playing assi

copper monolith
#

downshift everything by 1 key

#

8's award gilded

#

i think that's all it'll take

faint vessel
#

I like myth vault for 10s. But 8 vs 9 isn’t that much harder. It’s just a silly bar

cunning needle
#

^

copper monolith
#

yeah myth vault cna stay for 10s

faint vessel
#

All 9 vs 8 for gilded does is make it harder for people to get groups to upgrade their gear to get ready for 10s

copper monolith
#

no problem there

copper monolith
#

queen is dead

#

and i barely get invited for 7's

#

So i can't do anything

cunning needle
#

do your own key, push it up

hollow blade
#

buffs feel great in ST

copper monolith
#

that never seems to work

hollow blade
#

im pumping now

copper monolith
#

ill keep trying

cunning needle
#

dunno there has to be a keyholder somewhere

#

and someone needs to make the group

#

may as well be you

elfin arrow
copper monolith
#

ill keep trying for a time, but i gotta say, if something aint done about the gilded crest situation soon, ill def have to stop.

#

having them trickle in from the delve token thingy, and the last 2 bosses on heoric is not ideal at all

torpid temple
#

What's your ilvl?

copper monolith
#

618

cunning needle
#

don't hold your breath for them reducing gilded requirements

faint vessel
#

I wouldn’t be surprised tbh, but also don’t hold your breath

copper monolith
#

im not, i'll see what's up by the time the aniversary patch comes out.

#

if nothing, then i guess I'll have more time on my hands.

faint vessel
#

I think many solo Qing dps that aren’t augs are feeling similar. The keys will get easier every week with ilvl increases

cunning needle
#

honestly the less time playing wow the better

#

i want to quit this game

#

someone please help

faint vessel
#

Yeah that too. Just…play less

copper monolith
#

i've been playing hunt showdown lately

#

it's neat

faint vessel
#

If your guild killed heroic queen and you’re pumping who cares unless you’re trying for CE and then you and the guild need to make some m+ groups

drifting cloud
#

it is a little weird to only be 618 if youre full clearing hc, unless you destroyed your crests upgrading champ track

copper monolith
#

i def made some mistakes

#

which sucks

glacial crypt
#

yeah the hunter in my guild is 630 Despairge

faint vessel
#

I mean full clearing HC is what, 30 crests?

copper monolith
#

god dayum

#

oh this was the first time i killed queen

faint vessel
#

You aren’t getting much over 618 without 9s

copper monolith
#

last week

#

could be worse i guess

#

could be playing roblox

glacial crypt
#

Don't you disrespect roblox

drifting cloud
#

oh is your gilded cap just mostly untouched? no guild keys or whatever

west crown
#

Theres not way this buff is only ~5%. I went from 70 parses to 95s without significant gear upgrades in a week. Im not that good

glacial crypt
#

dress to impress is a real gamer game

drifting cloud
#

ok nvm that would make more sense then

copper monolith
glacial crypt
#

hehe

#

nice

copper monolith
#

oh LOL

glacial crypt
#

Try and get some guild groups going when you're online though^^

copper monolith
#

god damn you cuddle

glacial crypt
#

Gilded crests will just bring your power way uppies

#

Outside of "playing better" gear will just make you do more damage

copper monolith
#

how much harder is a 9 from a 7 key?

glacial crypt
#

As for the amount of things going on in m+, it's difficult when learning new dungeons but, having weakaura packs helping you out is big

glacial crypt
copper monolith
#

thats what i thought

#

but i swear to god the groups i try and get into never pick me

glacial crypt
#

from 11 to 12 is a different story but doing anything more than 10s rn is just silly

cunning needle
#

bro thats not even all 7s timed

blazing pumice
#

no wonder you aren't getting invites

drifting cloud
#

and 618 stood out maybe week1-2

copper monolith
#

so, i guess I just try and incrementally work upwards with key levels

cunning needle
#

yes

#

do all of them as well

#

dont leavae something as

#

or at 2

copper monolith
#

my two lowests are GB and Siege at 5's

#

i honestly consider leaving Siege at 5

blazing pumice
#

people are going to invite you based on your class+io+ilvl

copper monolith
#

worst dungeon ever.

cunning needle
#

like think about it from the other side

theres 50 dps applying all with higher io and gs than you

#

why would they invite you

glacial crypt
#

on alts I can squeeze into a guild group for a random weekly 10 but if I were starting from scratch without that luxury, doing all +4s - 9s would be the goal

#

outside of doing my own key

#

If you're doing your own key, you can be picky

#

but that's also more time

edgy orbit
#

hardest thing in m+ is reminding tanks to let a bro re-stealth.

drifting cloud
#

just hard doing your own key unless you have a tank or healer friend aswell

copper monolith
#

you know

glacial crypt
#

`

drifting cloud
#

otherwise just might take forever in lfg

copper monolith
#

tanks have actually be really kind to me regarding restealth

#

i cant complain about that

cunning needle
#

same

glacial crypt
#

:3

cunning needle
#

or i just hang back

#

but also

#

!restealth

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
  • While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
copper monolith
#

i think it just feels better

#

is all

cunning needle
#

oh yeah 100%

#

it feels better

#

especially spreading bleeds without IC

#

but at the same time

#

just seethe and cope

glacial crypt
#

xd

cunning needle
#

objectively it is better for the key

copper monolith
#

no one ain't trying to be play subtlety Seige+14

cunning needle
#

for you to not restealth

#

and to chain pull

#

(depending on mobs)

#

also depending on the key as well

copper monolith
#

bring back season 3 dungeons

cunning needle
#

theres like barely single digit times where you dont get a restealth

cunning needle
#

we're so back

Do you guys spend on 5 combo points or 6?

cunning needle

#

oh doesnt matter

#

its a stat stick

primal egret
#

wondering if i should craft a heroic item with embellishment?

slate crown
glacial crypt
glacial crypt
#

currently no images and nothing but a single text box which reads "Cuddlemeufk"

#

xd

#

but that text box took time to figure out!

prisma monolithBOT
#

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime

Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

primal egret

thats what im thinking too thanks pepsi

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.

Because you use it during damage windows for the mastery buff

2 questions is there a way to just update a plater profile and a way to verify my current plater ver?

nimble ether

But now it automatically gets used

so we have to not go under 50 when dont have cds

balmy condor

if I play good, it doesn't impact me
if I play bad, I get to think about less things

spice surge
balmy condor

but then people saying that it's a bad change are mad cause they're bitching about it auto proccing

#

so

#

are you secretly the shitter?

#

what's the deal

grim oasis
nimble ether
#

I see

spice surge
#

Like even if you accidently proc it by going below 30 its still not a big deal

Yeah Ngl I’d rather not worry about hitting it anyway Lolol

novel star

a fake loss is a loss and a new restriction is a new restriction

balmy condor

how does that work

novel star
#

not a big deal tho

balmy condor
#

it's not

#

you press tea during shiv

#

it comes off cooldown during shiv

novel star
#

i mean youd have shivs that want multiple teas tho right

balmy condor
#

..... yes

indigo mulch
balmy condor
#

but they all come off cooldown

#

during kb

#

if you use them during shiv, as you should

nimble ether
#

Which is the most important time to use it anyway right

balmy condor
#

they line up a minute later

#

when the shiv comes up again

#

and you want to use them again

severe sparrow
#

where are we using our dm/kb that comes up during the uh, when on platforms for queen? just hold for top?

balmy condor
#

can use a kb on the shield mob or the first platform

novel star
#

sry was afk

novel star
indigo mulch
#

I'm pretty sure what will end up happening is that they will completely remove the tea use at some point in the distant future.

novel star
#

i thought if you proc it outside of shiv its just -1 charge

nimble ether
#

Or maybe remove the mastery buff

novel star
#

and 1 min later when ur in shiv again youd get 1 charge back from the cd but that might be a shiv that wants 2 teas so its kinda annoying

#

or no

spice spire
balmy condor
#

yeah but it's a 1 min cd

#

once you use your 3 charges

#

it always comes off cd

#

for kb

spice spire
#

You get one per kb

#

Yeah

ah

ok im just being dumb mb
