i feel like assa just does more dmg in keys than frost on like 99% of routes... dont really start getting beat by frost until you're doin biggg ol' pulls

hey guys, question for you - I know we scale really well with MH weapon damage; if I was saving 90 gilded for my first enchanted crest, would you use it to craft a non-embellished third crafted item as a dagger, or invest in my dawnthread embellished other items?

limber lion
#

get ka and crit with winds

#

ez r1

green pier
#

current weapons are 626 and 619

limber lion
#

Really hard to say what's the correct play, really depends on stuff like your other slots and what you get from vault and whatever

green pier
#

i sorta do a lot of m+ and raiding, is ascension much better than double dawnthread?

limber lion
#

Ascension is better for raiding, Dawnthread for mythic+

thorn thorn
limber lion
#

But mythic+ is an environment with so many variables where you can do one run and do 3m overall and then do another run and do 1.2m overall

#

And the choice of embellishment doesn't really change anything there

#

I personally always gear towards raid first

green pier
#

whats the difference in raid between double dawn and ascension (and i assume the multiplier embellishment) in a raid env? is it that big?

limber lion
#

It's not that big, no

#

Ascension barely edges out the win

#

Just gotta sim it and see

daring hamlet
#

the run you do 3m overall in is gonna have a significant difference in pull types though so you can prep for that... aint nobody doin 3m in a standard pug route

normal mist
daring hamlet
#

prob need big boi pulls and an aug tbh to actually break 3k

limber lion
#

Yes like said, mythic+ is a massive environment with millions of variables

#

How big does the tank pull, how do other people use their cds, route, etc

#

It all plays a role in how much damage you do overall

daring hamlet
#

yeah absolutely

scenic sequoia
#

!craft

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

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

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

is there any reason the sims stack 1 gem when using the culminating gem?

if they enable transmog? sure

but without? lmao no

I forgot about that

daring hamlet
#

I think in dungeons where envenom/caustic splatter are super similar dmg or evenom even higher - assa just better than frost dk (obv assuming its not bc you're trolling and just not keeping cp uptime)

spice spire
#

Tryan are you still a vulpera

#

Because if so what’s the diff no vulpera has good looking transmog

daring hamlet
#

like no way a frost dk is beating an assa rogue in dungeons like mist/grim/siege (or if they are its gotta be a fuckin nasssty ass dk)

cobalt sphinx

just small pull dungeons

i dont think dk can keep up

Fair

jade zenith
#

Since I am here, wanna ask. How much time should I wait for rogues to re-stealth between pulls?

tall atlas
#

So there’s no need to do it if I can keep the envenom buff

novel star
#

chain pull normally

#

!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.
jade zenith
#

Thanks^^

sullen hollow
#

does anyone have a scent of blood tracker

novel star
#

outlaw i think likes stealth more but it’s still kind of the same idea where like saving 5 seconds of downtime cus ur actually hitting mobs instead of sitting around

sullen hollow
#

a seperate one

novel star
#

is a benefit

#

i think you’d have to just get a pack and rip the tracker out or make your own

royal lantern
#

most people that complain aboit stealth dont know how assa works in the first place tbh

Big true

and waste time garrotting mobs

spice spire
wild hound
#

So if a pack of 5 mobs is pulled and I don't have stealth, how many ruptures should I apply? I usually spam FoK -> 5cp rup, til I have it on 5 targets for the damage bonus. In this case stealthing would save a lot of gcd's. What am I missing?

peak saffron
#

my sims saying ovi'nax trinket in all content but we don't like it, right?

dapper cradle
wild hound
#

5 then?

dapper cradle
#

5 would be ideal, especially if you’ll be sending cds

wild hound
#

Yeah

dapper cradle
#

20% agi for DM and KB is giga

drifting cloud
#

dont think youre missing anything but how often do you get chainpulls into a pack of 5

#

sounds like a 1 per 3 dungeons scenario

wild hound
#

Some tanks just keep doing it haha

drifting cloud
#

and then prob 50% chance your vanish is ready

jade zenith
dapper cradle
#

The worst is when tanks edge that one low health mob into the next pack

thick vapor
#

Just don't chain when mobs are at like 10% lol outside of that it's fine

wild hound
#

^ exactly that

royal lantern
#

??

normal drift
rose dirge
#

guys im wondering cause of lots of different talents

#

on pure st

wild hound
#

Yeah but sometimes its at like 20%, and all the other DPS switch to the new pack, so there I am ST'ing haha

rose dirge
#

do you go garrote package or vicious venoms?

dapper cradle
novel star
#

i would say just venoms exclusively in raid

royal lantern
#

then why are you not dotting the new enemys allready

novel star
#

so you can hold vanish

royal lantern
#

or use vanisb

solar wyvern
royal lantern
dapper cradle
#

Are you Tryan to get me angry?

novel star
#

having vanish only ever used for the mark lets you get more dn envenoms sometimes

#

can reapply mark in the last second before queen phases for example

#

that cucks you the entire platform phase with no vanish

#

but it is real damage

dapper cradle
novel star
#

and it is good damage

#

that only the venoms build has access to

royal lantern

The more I play sin in keys the less i care about stealth ngl

is there a macro to apply poisons with one button?

dapper cradle
novel star
#

stealth unironically is a crutch

solar wyvern
#

Only time I'm unhappy is if we're going into a good iron wire pack and they don't let me

#

But thats tbh tank issue

#

Or hold vanish issue

novel star
#

don’t hold vanish

#

it’s a tank issue

#

you don’t chain pull before scary packs with any comp really

solar wyvern
#

Ik but in weekly 10s

#

I just hold incase tank brain

#

Not for long, just when ik a big pack is coming

#

Not having vanish for bosses feelsbad tho my deathmark value 😢

That’s a feature though

Need help deciding what 636 piece to craft… weapon or waist? My waist is currently champ track, most of my other gear is hero, my hero braces are pretty solid with the rights stats for now, and I don’t have any mythic gear but I will in the vault next week as Ive broken into +10s… or should I just focus on maxing out all my hero gear? TIA

spice surge
#

If you dont have a mythic mainhand craft a weapon

visual vault
spice surge
#

If you do then craft whatever slot you have the worst piece in, which sounds like it might be waist, but sim to be sure Surebud

drifting cloud
#

always weapon, even if you get myth track from vault its not an autopick

#

or well I guess that asnwer depends on if you kill 2nd boss on mythic in raid (puggable if you dont have a guild)

#

What trinket should use in MM+ overall? skardyn grace with anub crystal/spyglass/or arakara

#

coral ibex
#

can confirm i went from 619 mh to 636 mh and my dps and credit score went up the same %

spice surge
#

Bis is irrelevant unless you have literally every item

#

Like ye crafted weapon might not be bis, but if its a +30k dps upgrade for you its still worth it

coral ibex
#

17 ilvl on your mh is a huge dps increase

cyan karma
novel star
#

i dont only do dmg in heroic pOg

drifting cloud
#

yeah wep is just never a bad option for rogue, maybe in some weird scenario where youre the only rogue and the boss drops in multiple times, but even then you have embelishment on it unless youre playing m+ embelishments

#

crest cap is slowly starting to stack up + sparks so if youre low on myth track pieces in a week or two you might just have to craft 636 in random slots anyways

#

atleast ill be in that situation very soon

#

all it takes is 1-2 bad vaults

I just got the queen's trinket from the weekly quest, is it any good for sin? how important is it to last hit with it? im assuming very..

#

also looks annoying that it has a slight cast

#

last hitting is nice but not required, trinket is very strong, you can move during the cast so its not too bad

i like it for sniping problematic adds like worms on ovinax

Newish to assassination this expansion. Are there supposed to be times in raid where I am just auto attacking to get energy? I feel like Im constantly running out of energy unless I have tea off cd

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

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

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.

It does

Yeah then as said

Elusiv and pray to allah

#

Elusiveness works on all dots?

Why would it not

Its legit just

20% dr

Thats what that talent says

twin plume

It's 40% for aoe and 20% for all other dmg so yea it works on dots (20%)

I dont read my talents

"You now have 20% dr on EVERYTHING"

You need the dr

I thought

twin plume

also if you evasion its 20% dr too

balmy condor
dawn heath
#

Elusiveness only worked on things that avoidance worked on

balmy condor
#

No

#

It’s just raw DR

#

All damage

cunning needle
#

it also makes evasion a DR

dawn heath
#

Ok

cunning needle
#

kinda strong

bronze pike
#

I found for a cheat death to be good

#

They have to be accessible and no compete with better things

twin plume
#

So pressing Feint + Evasion is 40% DR

bronze pike
#

Rogue cheatdeath competing with elusiveness is probably a good balance

dawn heath
#

I mean i use evasion as Dr all the time

#

Thats nothing new

sullen mural

I mean

# vestal granite Thank you it works, but there are weird sideeffects like creating duplicate aura...

Do you have the Auto Clone checkbox checked? You should uncheck it if you do.

Nameplate uses, well, nameplates, to track the buffs, so it will only see units with nameplates. If trivial enemies don't have nameplates, it won't see them.

You can instead swap to "Multi-Target". This, however, can have other side effects like the buffs automatically fading after 60s or remaining on targets that are despawned / out of spawn range

sullen mural
#

I mean thats m+

slate crown
#

There is no perfect tracking

dawn heath

I had no idea elusiveness worked like that

In high keys u need to send on cd

thorn fjord

Yeah

#

The higher the key the easier it is to gauge when to send CDs and which packs to hold on

#

Problem is higher keys take more skill

#

And the people at the lower skill level wouldn’t know what to do with their CDs in the first place lol

So cheat death or elusiv? Now that u tried it @dawn heath

dawn heath

I havent

Theres no choice here really

I would always play cheat in sub 12 keys tho but idk above that its Prolly elusive

Yeah

In high keys u do tho

Just slam evasion baby

And 20% is weak

atleast feint wont be on gcd soon

I will say all my keys are done with cheat death

#

But i havent done the highest keys

#

Only 13s mostly

sullen mural
#

I mean yeah U CAN play cheat

cedar hare
#

But ppl have done 14 and 15 with cheat death

sullen mural
#

I can also play with only my feet

#

But why nerf urself

#

I think there are some duengons cheat is fine in

#

But yeah

#

Thing is both are really strong

cedar hare
#

I feel like this expo has to nuch random and un avoidable dmg

dawn heath
#

Cheat death effects are really good in keys

sullen mural
#

I think elusive is even better next patch

#

With feint off gcd

dawn heath
#

But the trade off is big

#

Ive been screaming at my prot war premade to intervene me alot

#

And dk would amz etc

#

To help me live sketchy situations

cedar hare
#

Problem is. If the 20% dr is not enough. Cheat death might have saved you

U gonna make them so happy

When u tell them tmr

That u actually have 20% dr

!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

i will upgrade my gear or find better before i try joining people, tbh ive made all my own groups for m0 and they all go well ish

Hi guys, I need some help on some of my Heroic boss fights. Is there a better place to ask than in this channel? I'm currently comparing last nights kill with another top rogue and I can't seem to figure out how they do so much more dps than me.

Two things stick out to me in the comparison.

  1. Their envenom's are much bigger than mine
  2. Their Kingsbane is bigger
  3. Their "Hunt them down" is way bigger (is this just RNG?)

I think from the log I messed up taking spatter instead of internal bleeding as the adds damage isn't included in logs?
I also think I messed up Deathstalkers Mark as I only have 8 hits compared to their 25. Maybe I need a WA or something to remind me to go 7 CP?

Here is the log in case any kind rogue would like to give me some feedback:

Hello, I was wondering about Whetstone vs Algari Mana Oil - on my server currently Whetstone is 3x more expensive so I'm wondering if I for now use Algari Mana Oil as an alternative, how much worse is it?

I don’t have a number for you but it’s not much worse. You’re completely fine to use the oil

#

You can sim if you want to see the difference

grim jay

Whetstones are better but the difference in output isn’t going to be the difference in a boss dying or not or you timing a key

We are taking that right

#

Do we need that? I’m not sure there’s any decisions to that

But I don’t know yet

sharp viper
#

well if you want to maximize double envenom uptime

slate crown
#

Well, is that the goal?

#

I haven’t been paying much attention

sharp viper
#

dunno how that would loook like though

slate crown
#

I’ve been a bad rogue

slate crown
#

Eh snd aura was pretty low rent

#

For me

sharp viper
grim jay
slate crown
#

He’ll let us know when he has it, I can be patient

slate crown
#

So that reduces complexity

#

If there’s no need to track the current envenom stack or w/e, I could even completely hide the env bar

dim stirrup
#

And please has anyone figured out the best 2nd trinket (m+ only, to accompany Skardyn)?

I looked at many different places and I can't seem to find a clear answer.... I have Dead-Eye + Empowering Crystal in my vaults and no idea which one to pick 😂

for example CasualAddict in his stream command has Skardyn + DAWNBREAKER, meaning Empowering Crystal.... but many other places say that Dead-Eye Spyglass is better... 😂 any advice on this please? ♥️

subtle tundra
#

they are pretty close

sharp viper
#

sim it

subtle tundra
#

and so is ara kara trinket

grim jay
#

And heroic knife is better than all of them unless you got a myth track

sharp viper
slate crown
#

Yeah absolutely

#

It just comes at the cost of visual clutter

#

It’s easy to make bars for each stack independently

narrow siren
#

heyo yo does feint reduce area dmg by 60% with the elusiveness talent?

slate crown
#

And I don’t want to go that route if there’s not decision value to it

grim jay
#

So you have stack 1 on the left and stack 1 on the right

#

Same total length

slate crown
#

Well what about 3 stacks

#

I mean yeah it could be 3 parts

sharp viper
#

huh

slate crown
#

But now it’s just more confusing I think visually

#

For what benefit?

grim jay
#

I think the 3 parts thing is still fine. Like 4 parts might get kinda small and confusing

sharp viper
#

but it can only stack up to 2?

slate crown
#

I thought it could go to 3

sharp viper
#

afaik it can only go to 2 with new TTK and no longer pandemics

#

that's what it played like on PTR

#

but I don't know how a third envenom interacts with 2 stacks, might just overwrite the first one?

slate crown
#

I think I just need to see how it’s played once we have the full cook

grim jay
#

If its 2 I think halving the bar might be the best solution without adding clutter

sharp viper
#

it's probably the biggest change - supercharged is very minor and less stuff than ER is right now

slate crown
#

Yeah supercharger has no tracking right? It’s just more damage

sharp viper
#

same for autotea

grim jay
slate crown
sharp viper
slate crown
sharp viper
#

so it's pretty we

grim jay
#

Ye its like tracking ER if you would always hit the charged Cp anyways

sharp viper
#

i tested supercharged on sub and they also stack in case you use the supercharger skill (shiv, rtb, symbols) multiple times in a row without consuming the extra CP

shadow badger
#

is supercharger going to kill deathstalker?

slate crown
#

Huh why would it?

shadow badger
#

doesnt DS heavily rely on the anima charges to get the max cp envenoms?

Its just a feel good thing and you still get more Cp value finishers with supercharger
